Talk:Trawniki concentration camp

This article is garbage
1) No references. 2) Written poorly. Unreferenced anecdotes bound with cheap scotch tape. 3) Quotes that cant be found anywhere else on the web.

I will try to straighten this article out in a month or so. Cheers! Meishern (talk) 05:50, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

This article comes directly - as in word for word - from ushmm.org. The lack of refernces is also common to both articles. They don't even claim "witnesses". 159.105.80.103 (talk) 15:03, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Copyvio removal
I have removed text which is a copyvio of the USHMM page on Trawniki. While the Museum does allow some free use of its materials, it limits such use to non-commercial, educational, and personal use, and such a limitation causes such material to be regarded by Wikipedia as non-free content. This virtually-verbatim use of the entire USHMM page unquestionably violates the WP fair use policy. I have also deleted as a copyvio material taken verbatim or as a close paraphrase from Belzec: Stepping Stone to Genocide - Hitler's answer to the Jewish Question  and  at Jewishgen.org, for similar reasons.

collapse edit reverted
"sorry, not a standard practice in mainspace, is for talk page discussion"

The list is very long. Some articles remove many important notes just to shorten the content, and me collapsing the list doesn't make it any harder for a reader who's really interested in the names. What happened to wp:IAR? 135.0.167.2 (talk) 05:12, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

The Holocaust in Poland
A recent well attended RM - Talk:The Holocaust in Poland/Archives/2019/July concluded that The Holocaust in Poland should be at that title as a neutral descriptor. As background, there is a POV push in some circles - e.g. this Polish government site - to add "German-occupied"/"Nazi-occupied"/"occupied" to any phrase connecting Poland to the Holocaust. This revert reinstated a form which circumvents the consensus achieved in the RM. There is little need to repeatedly state "occupied" or "occupation" throughout this article.

 * Pick one place to have the discussion at. Like here.Volunteer Marek (talk) 09:16, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
 * VM, as you are overriding a general consensus for this article title - you shall have to provide a rationale (one would assume this would be somehow specific to this article) as to why you are overriding the Holocaust in Poland in this specific article. If you are unable to provide a poilcy based rationale specific to this article - then please self-revert.Icewhiz (talk) 09:47, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I am NOT "overriding a general consensus for this article title". That's ridiculous seeing as how I neither changed the article's title nor even proposed a different title (why would I?). Stop making things up. Also, please stop it with the WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT and keep the discussion in one place.Volunteer Marek (talk) 03:07, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
