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 ].{{pb}}

{{u|Batreeq}}, I'm going to remove again, and I ask that you respect ] and seek consensus before restoring it. I'm not sure it should even be in the infobox, because I don't think that was the Polish name for it. The Polish name would have contained Oświęcim, not Auschwitz, so you need to find a contemporaneous source.

But even with a source, there is no need for it in the first sentence. We have the English name because this is the English Misplaced Pages and the German name because that was its official name. That's enough. See ]. ] <small><sup>]</sup></small> 05:42, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

It states in the top of the article that the concentration was primarily in the town of Oświęcim (Auschwitz). Do you have a source that states it was located in Brzezinka instead? cyberdog958 04:16, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
