[edit] Lodz Ghetto

An interesting article about the last Jewish Ghetto to survive. Well written and well illustrated. Ausir 23:14, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Object. No references, at the least. 119 23:18, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. Fascinating article, very well written, superlative accompanying pictures. Googie Man 9 Apr 2005 Googie man 01:56, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Qualified Objection, I agree that the article is really interesting, but I wonder if the article is fully comprehensive. Youth movements are mentioned once at the end of the article in the context of resistance, but there isn't much about them before that. Many readers will not really understand what the youth movements were. Perhaps there should be more about ghetto cultural life in general. Also, what can be said about Catholic Poles and the ghetto? I think the article only needs some small additions though, I can imagine myself changing my vote. Dinopup 04:06, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Object Needs longer lead section; the lead should provide a better summary of the article. For example, there is no mention of the ghetto being an important production facility for the Reich. Also, two references seems a bit shallow for an important article like this. How about referencing Werner Rings', as well as providing a reference for the "diarist's" quote (section 6). That would be a good start. Moreover, I'd like to see all those figures about deaths and deportations directly referenced per footnotes (with page and paragraph numbers).

  • Object. Lead is to short. No references. Seems fairly comprehensive to me - although I'd of course never object to any expantion. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 10:29, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
