Your comments address a larger issue with the Bäke article and that is an overall lack of citations for the "oh, how the Wehrmacht shined" - type of claims. I'd guess the original core of the article was written based on older German sources that were worked into English-language versions by fans of the Wehrmacht. My impression has been that older (post-World War II before the Wall fell) German sources are not very accurate and tend to present sweeping generalizations like the one you took issue with on the talk page. Some of the text that followed was written by me a few years ago to point out that Bäke's operations against the 90th Division were anything but successful. This problem of unsourced claims can be found in article on Allied leaders as well -- John Shirley Wood being an example. W. B. Wilson (talk) 05:15, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
