WARNING: ACTIVE ARBITRATION REMEDIES

Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Antisemitism in Poland#Article sourcing expectations (9 May 2021):

The Arbitration Committee advises that administrators may impose "reliable-source consensus required" as a discretionary sanction on all articles on the topic of Polish history during World War II (1933-45), including the Holocaust in Poland. On articles where "reliable-source consensus required" is in effect, when a source that is not a high quality source (an article in a peer-reviewed scholarly journals, an academically focused book by a reputable publisher, and/or an article published by a reputable institution) is added and subsequently challenged by reversion, no editor may reinstate the source without first obtaining consensus on the talk page of the article in question or consensus about the reliability of the source in a discussion at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard.

Belorussia

It would be nice if someone could change "Belorussia" in the text to "Belarus". The text refers to a modern situation and current name for the country is "Belarus". User:Shapoklya78 (talk) 18:49, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What I think should be changed (format using {{textdiff}}): [[Warsaw Uprising Square|Napoleon Square]] to [[Warsaw Insurgents Square (Warsaw)|Napoleon Square]] (2 times)
Why it should be changed: the page has been renamed, the link now directs to a disambiguation page

Please remove this sentence:

Recent scholarship since the fall of the Soviet Union, combined with eye witness accounts have called into question Soviet motives and suggest their lack of support for the Warsaw Uprising represented Soviet ambitions in Eastern Europe.

and add this in its place:

Scholarship since the fall of the Soviet Union, combined with eyewitness accounts, have questioned Soviet motives and suggested their lack of support for the Warsaw Uprising represented their ambitions in Eastern Europe.

A comma is missing, and it's a little wordy. 123.51.107.94 (talk) 06:12, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Soviet Air Force in the infobox - how?

Neither Stalin's air force, nor any other Soviet unit, helped in the Uprising. This is insulting and contrary to fact (see: Stalin's response why he will neither aid the Uprising directly nor even let the other Allies participating in the Airlift to land on freshly-Soviet-occupied Polish territory nearby, from Aug 21st, 1944). 79.191.254.103 (talk) 20:16, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, there's not really much evidence that Soviet air forces dropped any supplies, even from the sources stated. The only evidence of any Soviet support was in fact from Polish units of the Red army - General Zygmunt Berling when they made costly landings Powiśle and even then Soviets declined to help there.

Article reads "Between 13 and 30 September Soviet aircraft commenced their own re-supply missions, dropping arms, medicines and food supplies..." DrKay (talk) 16:54, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
