Irving acknowledges gassings
Irving is no longer a "holocaust denier" proper. He now has this weird theory that a smaller number of people were murdered by gassing in every camp except for Auschwitz 65.186.75.25 (talk) 03:37, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
- Not sure about whether this claim about Irving is accurate or the details here, but he has long maintained that the scale of killings in the Holocaust was much smaller than was actually the case, and not that they didn't occur. Misrepresenting the scale of the Holocaust is a fairly common form of Holocaust denial (few deniers maintain that no Jews were murdered), and his aspect of his views was part of the reason that he was found to be a Holocaust denier in the libel action he launched (see [1]).

Year of German atomic bomb book

In the books section, please change the publication date of The German Atomic Bomb from 1983 to 1967. 1983 might be a later edition or just a reprint. Source: Nuel Pharr Davis, Lawrence and Oppenheimer (1969 British edition), bibliography section, p. 365. I guess at that time, Irving was still considered credible. 2601:644:8584:2010:0:0:0:5FA4 (talk) 07:10, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Shouldn’t this be British Court?
The English court found that Irving was an active Holocaust denier, antisemite and racist, who "for his own ideological reasons persistently and deliberately misrepresented and manipulated historical evidence".

- No. There is not a single court system in the UK, the Courts of England and Wales are one system, Scotland has a totally different legal system and Northern Ireland has a third. As the case was tried in England it is correct to call it the English court. - Arjayay (talk) 21:06, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

He is not a holocaust denier. He is the most prominent world war 2 historian. 2600:8802:5713:6400:3058:47C5:9A19:4776 (talk) 09:04, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
Not done -- the change you appear to want would be entirely inappropriate, not least because it is not supported by reliable sources. Thanks for your opinion, though. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 09:39, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
- He is a holocaust denier in the most definitive way possible, declared as such by a court of law. 2A00:23C6:1ABE:FC01:C828:3D69:C979:19 (talk) 09:14, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
