DYK
Hello! Your submission of Karl Čermak at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! North America1000 15:19, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * There isn't much to comment on. The reviewer reviewed 1 of the 2 articles in the nomination, so what is needed is that another user reviews the second one. In the second article the reviewer encountered one spelling error, so I don't see any major issue there. --Soman (talk) 17:14, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Karel Dufek
Hi-Karel Dufek of Czechoslovakia was a diplomat; he was ambassador to Brazil and Turkey. During the 1950s purges in the Czechoslavakia Communist Party, he was tried, convicted and imprisoned. He was later rehabilitated and released from prison. Dufek was also one of the surviving veterans of the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939 and just had his 100th birthday. Would you be open about starting an article about Karel Dufek? Many thanks-RFD (talk) 16:54, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll look into it later today or tomorrow. Thanks, --Soman (talk) 16:58, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you for starting the article-RFD (talk) 12:10, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the tip. Still there are some stuff I'm unsure of, gives a different place of birth, etc., but not sure if that is WP:RS. Also, the Who's Who reference says he got the 1st grade of the Virtuti Militari, which from the wiki article was given only to high commanders/politicians. --Soman (talk) 12:18, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

Franz Karmasin
I wrote you up a Nazi, who was left free to roam in Germany and continue Naziing until his death. In the reference from Die Zeit I added is enough material for another right-wing club, the Witikobund. They might go together as a triple DYK with your Carpathian German Party.
