Talk:Okahandja Concentration Camp

Unexplained deletion of public domain photographs
On 03:28, 9 November 2011‎ Alpha Quadrant removed a photograph of the cover of the 1918 British Blue Book, which is in the public domain. (The visual used in this article was contributed by myself. In addition to the photograph being in the public domain, it is my own photograph, from my own copy of the Blue Book.) The rationale for the removal was: (All non-free files used on this page must have a valid and specific rationale for use on this page; please see Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline for more information; one or more files removed due to missing rationale FAQ) Any discussion concerning the Blue Book in this or any other article should be restored, as should this photograph. Citations have been provided.

In addition to the deletion of the link to the Blue Book cover, links to the following photographs, all of which are in the public domain (and so marked), have also been removed:

Erichsen Abused San or Nama child prisoners p. 52.jpg Erichsen p.59.jpg Erichsen slave labour p. 83.jpg Erichsen p.150 (left).jpg Zimmerer+Zeller Genocide in GSWA p.186.jpg

In addition to the above photographs, the link to the photograph Erichsen Okahandja p. 48.jpg has been removed and the photograph also appears to have been deleted from Wikipedia without notice to me.

Such extensive removal of public domain photographs, as well as my own personally-donated photograph, shows either gross negligence or a highly biased intent. If these edits were made in good faith, they should immediately be undone; else, it would begin to look as if the edits were actually an act of vandalism. (SeeVandalism: Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia.)

Relevance?
There is virtually no information specific to the actual topic of the article "Okahandja Concentration Camp"

There is not even a map to show where the site is. The introduction does not give any introduction specific to the Okahandja concentration camp and in my ears even uses unappropriate sarcasm e.g. in the final sentence, which does not belong in an encyclopedia no matter how terrible the topic delt with is.

After the short and inappropriate introduction it goes on with the link between second and third Reich. Again, this is not directly linked to the topic of the article. The proposed link should be delt with in the Genocide article.

Unless there is no specific information on the Okahandja concentration camp added, I would suggest the article should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Humgen123 (talk • contribs) 18:50, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Merger proposal
A merger proposal has been up on this page since April 2012. Since this page has no actual separate content (it's all about the situation in GSWA at the time in general) I'm going to carry it out FOARP (talk) 13:59, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
