Jewish Legion (Anders Army)

(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

• ... that the proposal for the creation of a Jewish Legion within the Polish Anders' Army in the Soviet Union during WWII proved to be rather controversial? Source: https://www.yadvashem.org/odot_pdf/Microsoft%20Word%20-%206217.pdf
  • ALT1:... that while some Jewish activists proposed to create a separate Jewish unit in the WWII Polish Armed Forces, others vocally criticized the plan? Source: same as above

• Reviewed: Planet of the Humans

Created by Piotrus (talk). Self-nominated at 02:19, 3 May 2020 (UTC).

• General eligibility:

• New enough:
• Long enough:
• Other problems: - The article relies exclusively on a single source and the lead does not adequately summarize the article body. Being eligible for cleanup tags means that the article is unsuitable for DYK (in its current form).

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

• Cited:
• Interesting: - Both hooks have vague wording. That some supported and some opposed, or that it "proved to be rather controversial", are not inherently interesting qualities.

QPQ: Done.

• • Comment: Article has been moved to Jewish Legion (Anders Army) to avoid ambiguity. buidhe 12:46, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
    • I am sure I can add another source. Would you like to suggest a new hook which I could review and hopefully adopt? PS. Forgot to @Buidhe:. Also @El C: who elsewhere said he read this article, maybe you could propose a better hook for us? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 14:20, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

• • • • How about
        • ALT2:... that the planned Jewish unit in the Polish Armed Forces in the Soviet Union was described as "Jewish ghetto"?
        • ALT3:... that the planned Jewish unit in the Polish Armed Forces in the Soviet Union was described as a "moral victory" of Nazism?

        • @Buidhe: I am fine with those but I think we may need a pro-forma tick by a new reviewer for the hooks proposed by you? Also I'd link the Polish Armed Forces in the Soviet Union with a pipe to Anders Army. Ping User:BlueMoonset. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:43, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
• Alt4 ... that members of the Jewish Legion (Anders Army) came from the 325,000 Polish citizens from deported from Soviet-occupied Poland to the Soviet Union?

• Reviewing afresh, this article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts of ALT2 and ALT3 are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. ALT4 is a bit confusing. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:32, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
