This is a systematic experiment in CZ-izing a WP import on Eugen Kogon. Howard C. Berkowitz 16:56, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Initial import

1. Removed categories and infobox
2. Contextualized lede by linking to SS State
3. Commented out images until status checked
4. Added TOC-right
5. Cleaned up red links simply needing a change of target (e.g., capitalized Buchenwald Concentration Camp)
6. Delinked basic words -- professor, emeritus

Howard, did you leave WP's sentence structure intact for any sentence? If so, it would be considered a clone, requiring crediting WP. Not completely sanitized.

Are User 'sandboxes' such as this one indexed by search engines? If so, Chris Key's concerns re reducing CZ ranking holds. —Anthony.Sebastian 19:22, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Tech staff can confirm, but I don't think that userspace is supposed to be indexed. Some search engines may ignore the rule in robots.txt that says not to index, but I believe Google and Bing respect it.

This is short enough to do a complete paraphrase. Do we want to make that a policy? I had assumed we might show "some content from WP." Howard C. Berkowitz 19:28, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

I have a user-space sandbox page that has been out there since Sep. 17, and Google cannot find it. Bruce M. Tindall 20:54, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Second edit

Added completely new material from the Nuremberg Trials Project at Harvard Law School. While I intend to keep adding material, does this, by itself, constitute a "substantial improvement"?

While I thought I had the English version, I don't. Page references to The Theory and Practice of Hell won't be right until I can get it through interlibrary loan. Another improvement is making the English version title more prominent. Howard C. Berkowitz 21:30, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
