080909 fix- add-cite re islamic slavery

//not sure if this cite had been lost due to vandalism or neglect. I could only find it on the very first revision 2007: cite#1 as edited by Elijahmeeks (Talk | contribs) at 02:05, 28 June 2007.

http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Slavery_in_modern_Africa#cite_note-11 Imam El Hassan Ould Benyamin of Tayarat in 1997 expressed his views about earlier proclamations ending slavery in his country as follows: "[it] is contrary to the teachings of the fundamental text of Islamic law, the Quran ... [and] amounts to the expropriation from muslims of their goods; goods that were acquired legally. The state, if it is Islamic, does not have the right to seize my house, my wife or my slave."[12]

12 Segal, p.206, in "Islam's Black Slaves: The Other Black Diaspora," quoted by Suzy Hansen of Salon.com on 5 April 2001 - http://archive.salon.com/books/int/2001/04/05/segal/index.html . The book cite is Ronald Segal (2002) http://www.amazon.com/Islams-Black-Slaves-Other-Diaspora/dp/0374527970/

081114 chg-weasle word re Hitler's legacy

http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Adolf_Hitler#Legacy now; properly regarded as immoral was whitewash word; 'typically' instead of 'properly'

Note that the quote re Hitler is abysmal, portraying him as having colossal strengths: "who has performed these superb toils." Particularly in that context I think the phrase "typically regarded as immoral" serves to belittle his evil.

I came across this problem in checking via http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest

the assertion: http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Tendentious_editing our article on Adolf Hitler does not portray him as a sensitive and misunderstood individual who was kind to his mother

I think that starting out with the 'typically' idea is a whitewash. Also, I think the length of the article detracts from the main point, such as the Holocaust, which was given about 5% of the total article. I disagree that Wikipedia needs to have an exhaustive study of Hitler's battle plans on its main page... perhaps there should be a family of war history pages.
