Kiev: Soldaten: On Fighting, Killing, and Dying. A few others, like In the Company of Women , nod to a career in business. That summer, a young white supremacist murdered nine congregants at a Black church in Charleston, South Carolina.
So Coffman did what she always did: She read. And because she happened to be between jobs, she was free to immerse herself in history for long stretches.
She learned about the Civil War, the conflict behind so much of the turmoil in the United States. She brushed up on her knowledge of the Second World War, a struggle more familiar to her. Maybe the lack of a job, of people to collaborate with, is also what made Wikipedia seem like an attractive pastime.
At first, Coffman stuck to tentative, sporadic suggestions. But then she was making edits nearly every day; there was so much to fix. He is the same person who invited her to join WikiProject Military History, a group where editors can chat, take classes, win plaudits, and work on articles together. Not for the first time, Coffman has been removing material from the article about the tank division. The glorifying language, Coffman thinks, is a clear sign that this is historical fan fiction.
It elides the horrors of war. The interaction starts out politely enough. Coffman cites a different doctrine in response. Like other editors whom Coffman will encounter, Peacemaker67 sees something pernicious in her work. Turkish military units involved in the Armenian Genocide?
Rwandan military units involved in the genocide in that country? US cavalry units that massacred Native Americans? Where does that end? Coffman finds her next target in the footnotes of the article about the tank division.
Kurowski served in the Luftwaffe. After the war, he tried his hand at all sorts of popular writing, often with a pseudonym to match: Jason Meeker and Slade Cassidy for his crime fiction and westerns, Johanna Schulz and Gloria Mellina for his chick lit. But his accounts of the Second World War made him famous under his own name. German war crimes are left out—much unlike allied war crimes. To understand this dubious chronicler better, Coffman goes to Google, where she comes upon a book called The Myth of the Eastern Front.
It describes how, in the immediate aftermath of the war, characters like Kurowski worked to rehabilitate the image of the German army—to argue that a few genocidal apples had spoiled the barrel. With a guy like Hitler to pin the blame on, the rest was easy. Then, in the mids, a museum exhibit cataloging the crimes of the Nazi-era military traveled throughout Germany. An odd situation emerged: Germans began to speak more honestly about the Wehrmacht than non-Germans did.
When Coffman reads this, something clicks. She is dealing with a poisonous tree here. She should be chopping it off at the trunk. She begins to use Wikipedia to document the false historical narrative, and its purveyors, and then make the fight about dubious sources rather than specific articles. She removes biased sources and any information based on those sources.
When she is done, typically, there is nothing left to the article—nothing to say about the person—other than the fact that he won an award. Another Nazi legend bites the dust. He flashes a smile, unaware that he is doomed. Unfortunately for Knispel, his reputation rests almost entirely on stories told by Kurowski, as well as an account in the Wehrmachtbericht , the Nazi propaganda broadcast. Coffman strips away the apocryphal stories of action and adventure, like the one that says Knispel was held back from promotions because he assaulted a superior.
She is entering her most prolific period. She has been filling her User page with study guides and research, but now her tone gets bolder, punchier. The page is becoming a sprawling tongue-in-cheek taxonomy of her obsession—and the parapet from which she taunts her adversaries. They go back and forth again. Eventually, Coffman appeals to the broader Wikipedia community to decide who is right about the notability of these medal winners. The debate hinges on certain policy wordings, along with the question of how to compare military awards from France, the US, Great Britain, and Germany.
The fight rages across pages for months. This is a common misimpression among the Military History gang. Coffman never tries to correct it. After six months of debate, on January 22, , Coffman is vindicated. An administrator leaves a note steeped in Wikipedia reasoning.
After the case is settled, Coffman and her more vocal opponents retreat to separate corners. But one bitter-ender, LargelyRecyclable, appears to create a troll account and continues objecting to her changes. LargelyRecyclable is banned indefinitely from editing English Wikipedia.
And few can match her output: 97, edits, 3, pages created, countless debates argued and won.
