conflict in losses
editTwo sentences side by side give seriously differing "official" numbers:
- " Officially, the Red Army lost 6,329,600 killed in action (KIA), 555,400 deaths by disease"
- "The official grand total of losses amounted to 8,668,400.[3][4] This is the official total dead"
Come, mister tallyman, tally me banana. An clarification is due. --Altenmann >talk 02:43, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
Rapes
editAdded text: "The exact number of Japanese women and girls raped by Soviet soldiers and local Chinese mobs remains uncertain" Therefore you cannot attribute all these to Red Army. --Altenmann >talk 12:40, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
B-Class reassessment request: Charles Thau
edit
Hello, I’d like to request a reassessment of the article Charles Thau, currently rated as C-class.
The article has undergone substantial expansion and improvement, including:
- Reliable, secondary sourcing from international and U.S. publications (e.g., *Freie Presse*, *Der Spiegel*, *The Forward*, *Military History Now*, *Milwaukee Journal*).
- A well-organized structure with clear sectioning (Early life, Partisan activity, Red Army service, Postwar, Recognition).
- Use of historical photographs with proper attribution.
- Compliance with WP:NPOV and WP:V, with personal connection declared.
I believe the article now satisfies the six B-class criteria: 1. **Well-written** 2. **Verifiable** 3. **Broad in coverage** 4. **Neutral** 5. **Stable** 6. **Illustrated**
Any feedback from reviewers is welcome. Thank you! Milwaukee911 (talk) 15:27, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
