time spent writing it and your wish to celebrate and make ppl aware
of International Women Day. Can someone in WG make sure that
maybe someone else with write those articles? After all blunt
and uninspiring videos about tanks made by him now we have article
on level of year 6-7 educations, mentioning random facts from
Wikipedia. Even worse mentioning only UK, USA, just USSR and
for ... "fun?".. mentioning Michell, ( French)
from Allo Allo ( brilliant series btw) and randomly throwing
in women partisans from Yugoslavia. What about other nations?
They do not exist during WW II ? Did not have women in
service performing sometimes vital and v. difficult task,
working for intelligence of Allies? At last mentioned already
prof-reading and checking is sometimes necessary. I do
believe that there are a lot historians and journalist with
knowledge in that field far better suited for writing
interesting articles and making videos. From educational point of
view, lots of youngster play WOT and un- or fortunately
get knowledge from portal and game which in a way is good
but, by taking task of writing articles about WW II
history you are responsible for making sure that information
you provide are sound, adequate and covering whole
topic. That article is one of the worse I have ever seen for years.
Sorry for harsh words but I just cant go by and ignore it.Hunter1911: Hello, First of all, thank you for taking your time
to express your opinion and providing us with feedback. Still, I
need to debate over a few points you have raised: The videos
We have had some excellent feedback from our community regarding
the videos, both online and in person. Furthermore, our statistics
show that our videos are doing extremely well. We do not only track
the views, we also track the average time viewed as well as
numerous other analytic, and they are all saying we are on the
right path. We are of course always open for feedback and
criticism, anything that can help us improve, but please consider
we have to look at the bigger picture and making the majority of
our community happy. I am afraid there will always be
disagreements, tastes differ. it is human nature. Nevertheless your
feedback helps us close that gap - so please share with us what you
dislike in our videos. At end, we make them for you, our players.
The article I am saddened to read how you feel about
what was written here. We take great pride into building an
interest in people to learn more of history, and we dedicate a
great deal of time and effort on how to best present a certain
topic. We always consider the presentation, as we wish to spark the
interest in the topic, not just lay out the fact. I am afraid some
topic remain unchanged, so you will always encounter certain same
facts no matter of avenue of approach. That is because we work with
facts, proven facts, and they do not often change, therefore we are
bound to repeat certain things that you may encounter at other
sources - it does not mean we did not do our homework. Quite the
contrary, if you have a look at our sources, just the ones listed,
not to mention books and authors experience, you can see that we
take fact checking very seriously. UK, USSR, and a few
more... We have tried to cover the pivotal nations of World War II.
The name itself says it all - World War: it is very hard to mention
by name every single nation, and in no way was it our intent to
deliberately exclude anyone. Nor have we done that. We have in no
way or shape specified that only those nations or their female
populous have taken part, simply to mention every single nation
would create for a very long article, and I am afraid we have to
take into consideration the readability of one topic. We aim to
incite interest, and of course that we will not be able to tell you
everything in one single go, but if you are truly interested, we
have done our job, and are happy to future provide you with
information. I am afraid, I have to disagree with you in this
content being bad for the "youngsters". There are no contradicting
information nor false information. Rather if this would spark their
interest we would be very happy. As for the "random" partisans from
Yugoslavia: we have referenced that fact due to pivotal part of
women in Yugoslavia during WWII - and the way their role was
presented post-war, an unique instance, thus worth mentioning.
In short, if you would be so kind to highlight which part of
the article is not factually correct, I would be happy to discuss
it. Otherwise we remain at the premises of subjective opinion,
where I must disagree with you.
