The file File:White House Farm map.JPG has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Orphaned file, exists on commons, i see no reason to keep it local"

Clear source from worldcat.org
SlimVirgin "Kierunek Loslau" it's very clear source. It very important book about evacuation KL Auschwitz and 1st one in polish langeuge. It work with sciencist from Instytut Pamięci Narodowej, Museum Auschwitz, and others museums. This book is about death march. If you revert Lajmmoore edition because it is "rmv two unclear sources and UNDUE" it's ok, but mine edition is clear, with serious book note and source was very clear. Harvard University, Yale University Library, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, have this book... Evacuation KL Auschwitz was not just to west side but to Wodzisław (35 000) and Gliwice (18 000).

 * Swd, thanks, I'll take another look. SarahSV (talk) 19:53, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * You added "mostly to the train depot at Wodzisław Śląski (Loslau)" to the following, along with a Polish-language source and no page number:
 * "Beginning on 17 January, some 58,000 Auschwitz detainees (about two-thirds Jews)—over 20,000 from Auschwitz I and II and over 30,000 from the subcamps—were evacuated under guard, at first heading west on foot, mostly to the train depot at Wodzisław Śląski (Loslau),"


 * We have information about this in Death marches (Holocaust), supported by English-language sources. I'm not sure we need it here. Also, you added the source in the middle of the sentence so that it appears to cover the previous material too. SarahSV (talk) 20:01, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

AE...
That request has pretty much made sure I’m not going to bother in that subject area again. I’m not sure why we bothered with that Arbcom case....Ealdgyth (talk) 20:16, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I stopped editing about the Holocaust in Poland or antisemitism in Poland around May 2020. I still edit the generic ones, including about Poland, but any article specifically about Poland, I tend to stay away. SarahSV (talk) 21:04, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

"Health issues"
Hey Sarah,

Saw your comment at AE. If you'd prefer, we can pause the infobox/estimates discussion until you feel better. In the meanwhile - watch yourself, and be well! François Robere (talk) 20:26, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * No, that's fine, I'll leave a comment there. Thanks for the good wishes. SarahSV (talk) 21:05, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Hope you’re better soon! Ealdgyth (talk) 21:32, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Best wishes for a speedy recovery from me, as well, Sarah! El_C 23:51, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
