Working Group (resistance organization)
Instructions for nominators and reviewers
 * Nominator(s): 

In 1942, a small group of Jews in Axis-aligned Slovakia hatched a scheme to bribe Heinrich Himmler into halting the Final Solution. This is their story. The article was promoted to GA in August; since then, it has received a peer review and a GOCE copy edit. I then made a FA nomination, which attracted some support. However, the topic is more controversial than I anticipated, and it didn't end up being promoted. Courtesy ping to all previous reviewers who kindly offered feedback on earlier versions of the article. I have pdf copies of most of the works cited in the article and would be happy to provide them to anyone doing a source review. Catrìona (talk) 06:22, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

Image review:
 * File:Slovakia borderHungary.png - what sources were used to create the map?
 * File:Gisi Fleischmann.jpg - photos with this sort of provenance usually have a WP:OTRS ticket that confirms what the uploader states (see for example File:KZ Sereď - Holocaust-Museum - Transportwaggon.jpg used in the article).
 * File:Obóz zagłady w Bełżcu 1942.jpg - the tags on this seem dubious. This is almost certainly a work of a German propaganda company, so German copyright law is likely the relevant consideration. Even if we assume Polish copyright governs the image, the oldest publication we have is 1960; this would have entered the PD in Poland in 1970, but the 1994 law seems to have restored copyright to the 70-PMA term to bring Polish law in compliance with Berne (see Ch. 15, Art. 124, #3). That means the photo would have been under copyright protection in 1996 (i.e., the URAA date), which would have extended the copyright in the US.
 * File:Krychów forced labour camp 1940 (Krowie Bagno).jpg - same as above, this is almost certainly a German photo, not Polish.
 * File:Majdanek (June 24, 1944).jpg - this is also incorrect. If the photo was a reconnaissance photo taken presumably by an Allied pilot, the copyright law of their respective country would apply, not Poland's. We need to know who took the photo to determine its copyright status.
 * File:Map SNP1 en.svg - same as the other map, what sources were used?
 * File:May 1944 - Jews from Carpathian Ruthenia arrive at Auschwitz-Birkenau.jpg - the US tag for this photo is incorrect, as the description clearly notes that Klarsfeld's book was published in the US. What evidence do we have that the photo is PD in the US? Parsecboy (talk) 19:59, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
