"Interesting" obliterative editing here. :mad:

I didn't "obliterated" anything. But, since there is no proper sub-forum for "groups", where am I supposed to post this group ? Also, there is no enough space in the title to put all the info. If a moderator finds a better place to move this thread, no problem.;)

No that isn't the problem. (I have asked often for a forum reorganization to make the forum more group-friendly, and have given up.)

What got me was the blacking-out of the address on the originals and, of course, in the translation. I assume this was done in the research process? What will be edited-out next?!

Ok. As for "edited-out", as you can see it's the "Podvig naroda" system, not mine!

Thanks for the clarification. That system drops on the "truthful" and "useful" meters.

Deletion of information is shoddy archival practice.

Generally, yes. However, I don't think it should be hard to understand blacking out a veteran's home address as a privacy measure. It's a negligible inconvenience for us, especially in comparison to the millions of documents we now have free access to.
