WARNING: ACTIVE ARBITRATION REMEDIESWikipedia: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.

The first paragraph says "The camp operated from 17 March 1942 to the end of June 1943...The burning of exhumed corpses on five open-air grids and bone crushing continued until March 1943." Surely this is a mistake? The wording suggests that the burning and bone crushing continued after the camp ceased to be operational but March obviously comes before June.
I believe something is wrong with this sentence: "It is believed that some 50 Jews might have escaped from Bełżec successfully, although most of them perished before the commencement of the "Final Solution". This implies that Belzec was in operation before the beginning of the Final Solution, 50 Jews might have escaped before the beginning of the Final Solution, and most of them perished still before the beginning of the Final Solution. This doesn't sound like the right order of things. Perhaps it meant it to say most of them perished before the end of World War II? --Somarain (talk) 19:10, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Somarain that wording appears to have been introduced in this edit [1] The editor who made that edit appears to have retired. Vexations (talk) 20:31, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Somarain, have removed the second part of the sentence: ", although most of them perished before the commencement of the Final Solution.". The article states that the camp became operational in March 942, about two months after the Wannsee Conference which is seen as the start of the "Final Solution". Therefore the second part of the sentence cannot be accurate and it is also not supported by the supplied reference.--Wolbo (talk) 17:19, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Throughout the text it says "German-Nazi", which is unusual and improper English. The correct and usual term is "Nazi German". Please change. I would, but unfortunately can't edit. 90.186.170.60 (talk) 19:13, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
