 * You've deleted sourced content and a link as "blind", which was perfectly working, never, NEVER do this again.HerkusMonte (talk) 16:13, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Czesław Madajczyk. Polityka III Rzeszy w okupowanej Polsce pages 177-212 volume 2, Państwowe Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Warszawa, 1970
 * is a source published in Warsaw in 1970, something that should be mentioned. I'll do something more on the background of Splett's policy after 1939 and the pressure the Nazis exerted on him (based on modern online sources).HerkusMonte (talk) 16:35, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Madajczyk is considered reliable, as far as I know. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 12:33, 12 May 2009 (UTC)


 * From my readings, his collaboration with the Germans was not very extensive. See - although I don't know how reliable this source is? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 12:32, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

It's an amateur website. --MyMoloboaccount (talk) 02:41, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

Reliable Source
http://www.ostdeutsche-biographie.de

This seems to be a private webpage and thus would not be considered a reliable source per WP:RS.--Molobo (talk) 15:54, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Website not working
http://www.kirchenlexikon.de/s/splett_c_m.shtml

The above site is a dead link to me. --Molobo (talk) 15:55, 30 May 2009 (UTC)


 * It's dead for me too. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 16:30, 30 May 2009 (UTC)


 * It's perfectly working, anyone else having a problem? HerkusMonte (talk) 18:10, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

German version much less nationalistic
The German version provides some important clarifications: 1. He issued his ban on Polish only after Nazi threats to kill the remaining clergy, and the Nazis did not allow him to even hint that this was a government order; 2. When he called German priests, it was because there were few Polish ones left, because the Nazis had arrested/killed them. What was he supposed to do, provide no Catholic priests at all? 3. Some Poles may have had an exaggerated view of the powers of a bishop in an area NOT protected by the Konkordat of 1933, and so he had to be deferential to Nazi leaders to protect his flock, a behavior Poles should not find astonishing--after all, did Polish bishops spit in the faces of the Bierut regime all the time, or work softly to prevent worse? 4. Personally, any writing on these subjects published during the heyday Communist regime needs to be flagged. History was even more of a battlefield then than it is now and printing was censored. It's no different than flagging books published during the Third Reich. Karpaten1 (talk) 02:27, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

"Despite the pressure of Polish authorities all Catholic priests interrogated as witnesses made exculpatory testimonies"
This is incorrect.I will provide testimonies. --MyMoloboaccount (talk) 21:06, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

A small question. Was he affiliated with "Bund der Danziger" and newspaper "Unser Danzig"
The article only states that he worked with expelled. I would be grateful for an answer to this. Of course I will be able to find answer to that on my own, but more knowledgeable people would save me the time :) --MyMoloboaccount (talk) 21:53, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
