I need your help! As Dick Umbrage has pointed out, some asswich (or maybe a number of asswiches) keeps deleting my addition to the Wikipedia entry on Pope Benedict XVI. The entry is here, and currently reads:
“In 1943, at the age of 16, he and many of his classmates were drafted into the Flak or anti-aircraft corps. They were posted first to Ludwigsfeld, north of Munich, as part of a detachment responsible for guarding a BMW aircraft engine plant that used slave labour from the Dachau concentration camp.”
The last half-sentence (”that used slave labour from the Dachau concentration camp”) is my addition, and those fuckers keep deleting it. As if it weren’t relevant that the BMW plant that Ratzinger guarded used slave labour. Please help me to keep it there.

Thanks for the dope on the pope. I’ve been in total pope-avoidance mode, so I would have missed the Nazi connection.Good luck with Wikipedia…

While you’re at it, you might want to add that bit about the slave labor to Wiki’s BMW entry. The only controversial thing up there is on car redesign.Hey, Wiki! Bring it on.

Hey, nice one Holagatita! And to edit Wikipedia entries, simply click ‘edit’ and change to your heart’s content. Of course, some bastard might change it back. - holagatita says:
Thanks. The Dachau concentration camp page is fair game, too. - B. W. Ventril says:
Are you saying I should mention BMW there? - holagatita says:
Yes. Own it.
