Talk:Battle of Łódź (1914)

Untitled

Some of the material from previous versions is valid and could be incorporated into the new article. Or it might be easier to start again, I'm not yet really sure. Andrewa 16:30, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)

• Which parts are valid? Not the Khrushchev joke, or the "Panzers had yet to be invented in 1914" bit... Robert Southworth 17:49, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Hmmmm, true. This comment was based on the edit history that didn't seem to be all jokesters.

What I should have said is, I haven't checked the article in detail to see whether any of the removed text is valid. Have you? If so, please tell us your findings, or better still, copy any that is valid into the article. Andrewa 22:51, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)

True, the editors weren't all jokesters, but I think they were had. The basic text all came from the original anon source, so I wouldn't trust any of it. Unfortunately, I don't know much about the battle myself; I was just pretty sure that it hadn't involved time travel. :) Robert Southworth 01:18, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Appalling winter conditions?

...at times the temperature dropped as low as -10 degress. Minus ten what? Celsiusor Fahrenheit? Celsius makes more sence (since this battle took place in Europe), but -10C don't sound terrible appaling to me... WegianWarrior 05:42, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

That part has been taken out, but I'd suspect it meant Fahrenheit. Ten below zero in Celsius is just 14F, which is cold but not exactly "appalling," and not even all that unusual for the Łódź area in winter. Ten below in Fahrenheit (-23.3C) qualifies for "appalling." 74.245.91.25 21:23, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Order of Battle

@Asayoelson: I removed a large section of text on the OOB because 6 Weltkrieg 459 ff does not appear to be a reliable source. On first blush, I think that information might be correct but we don't accept self-published works. Chris Troutman (talk) 06:36, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

@Asayoelson: While I appreciate you engaging me on this topic, this discussion belongs here on the article talk page, not my user talk. We cannot assume the website is reliable because you say so. It doesn't make sense to add information to Wikipedia if it is unreferenced or not referenced with reliable sources. Many of the articles about WWI suffer from this problem.

Weltkrieg is the Official German History of WW1. 6 Weltkrieg 459 ff is the cite for volume 6, pages 459 et seq Asayoelson (talk) 06:13, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Add alternate name?

Should an inclusion be made to add the German reference name to this battle: Battle of Litzmannstadt (1914)? 203.46.132.214 (talk) 05:24, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
