WARNING: ACTIVE ARBITRATION REMEDIESWikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Antisemitism in Poland#Article sourcing expectations (22 September 2019):
"The sourcing expectations applied to the article Collaboration in German-occupied Poland are expanded and adapted to cover all articles on the topic of Polish history during World War II (1933–45), including the Holocaust in Poland. Only high-quality sources may be used, specifically peer-reviewed scholarly journals, academically focused books by reputable publishers, and/or articles published by reputable institutions. English-language sources are preferred over non-English ones when available and of equal quality and relevance. Editors repeatedly failing to meet this standard may be topic-banned as an arbitration enforcement action."
Here is the source given, which gives two sets of numbers for Jewish deaths in Poland:
from U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum: Pre-War Jewish Population 3,350,000; Number of Jews Killed 2,770,000-3,000,000; % of Jewish Population Killed 90%
from Yad Vashem: Pre-War Jewish Population 3,300,000; Number of Jews Killed 2,900,000-3,000,000; % of Jewish Population Killed 90%
The text stated:
the Nazis murdered 3.3 million Jews, or 90 percent of its Jewish population.
Which is obviously incorrect. I corrected the text, but The Banner has reverted it twice, asserting "the quote was accurate", which it objectively is not
I don't know how to deal with this. This is as black-and-white as it gets. Surely there is an admin watching this page, as it's been locked? 11:52, 7 June 2024 (UTC) Curly "JFC" Turkey🍁¡gobble!11:52, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So, what is wrong with the original text?
Original text: (...) the Nazis murdered 3.3 million Jews, or 90 percent of its Jewish population
New text: (...) the Nazis murdered 3 million of its 3.3 million Jews, about 90 percent of its Jewish population.
I can say that of you too. With my last edit I simplified the text, correcting it the desired 3 million. What do you want more? The Bannertalk08:21, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There was nothing even remotely "confusing" about it, and it took calling for an admin for you to finally give in. Now we have you on record admitting that my correction was correct.
You show no sign of contrition, and every sign that your trigger finger is ready to revert anything else you don't like. Looking through your talk page history, you appear to have a history of this behaviour. Perhaps you're used to people backing down when you make a scary face? Perhaps you should waste people's time elsewhere, like Reddit or 4chan. Your "contributions" here today have been infuriatingly negative and damaging to the article. Curly "JFC" Turkey🍁¡gobble!09:06, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is exactly the shit I'm talking about. You were black-and-white wrong, and even after admitting it, you're still spewing horseshit about "flimsy arguments". You are obviously going to be a continuing disruption at this article.
Do you have reliable sources for that? The statement on the Slovenian Wikipedia (not suitable as a source itself) is unsourced. The Bannertalk12:13, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Lol, he's grossly misrepresenting what's written in the slwiki article. 10.000 Slovenes died in Auschwitz, not in whole holocaust. IP is falsifying stuff on both projects. A09|(talk)20:29, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Probably a sock of the above IP. Source seems to be slwiki, but OP is trying to falsify what is written on slwiki. A09|(talk)20:29, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Extermination camp only lists the 6 Polish ECs. If you correctly add Maly Trostenets in Belarus (like in this article), you should also add Bronna Góra as the EC 8.
