Talk:Raoul Wallenberg

Article Problem

For some reason the first three sections don't end until the middle of the fourth section, Holocaust. This can be seen by the [edit] links for those sections being smack in the middle of the two paragraphs in Holocaust. I can't figure out how to fix it... ideas?

The sections certainly do end where they are meant to. The 3 "[edit]" links for those sections being situated right next to each other in the 4th section is actually a rendering and layout error. The problem arises from the images that are placed in the article; in this particular situation, 4 images are placed at the beginning of the article and "floated" to the right. This makes all the images clump up together, and the edit links are affected by this. The problem can be fixed by placing the images in their respective sections rather than dumping them all at the top of the wikitext. -- Daverocks (talk) 10:06, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

To Attila Lajos: please correct your text to more neutral view (NPOV), less emotional and less public relations for your book, read the User: DRosenbach, User:Clarityfiend, User:Dirac66 --- this discussion is too long, to long public relations, please understand "last offer" for NPOV.

The Ardai text  and the comments on it are now gone. I deleted it.

I think that the other parts of my text are objective and neutral and need no changes! Everyone should read it as it is and not in the light of the old myths about Raoul Wallenberg. --Attila lajos 19:11, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

At the unveiling, [[King Carl XVI Gustaf]] said Wallenberg is "a great example to those of us who want to live as fellow humans."
