[edit] Small intervention request on the Japanese version of Wikipedia

Dear Seikensha,
In the light of the present debate occuring in the Holocaust Denial article talk page, and the fact several arguments in favor or Revisionism come from the Japanese version of the article on the Holocaust, I hereby request you cooperation in delivering the following message to our fellow Japanese editors, in regard to the verifiability of their claims and the apropriate use of footnoting:
In the "Doubts about the Holocaust" section of the Holocaust article, the Japanese editor mention, in point ten, the role played by the International Red Cross, namely the fact they directly supervised the Concentration camps from February 1943 to 1945 and that forced laborers were given at least 2750 kcals/day. Aditionally, point 11, mentions the celebration of wedding ceremonies, the birth of over 3,000 children and even the presence of a creche in the camp's premises. While all this is relevant information, there is hardly an footnoting at all. Where is the 1944 Red Cross report mentioned in the article? Where can it be found?
Under normal circunstances I wouldn't be bothering you with this request, but given your credicials as a capable biglot, I believe this to be the most apropriate course of action, due to my inability to write in Japanese (I can only read).
Earnestly waiting for an asnwer,
