- ... that the Monument to the Fallen and Murdered in the East (pictured) commemorates victims of the Soviet invasion of Poland during World War II and subsequent repressions?

Article is new enough and long enough. QPQ done. Image is pd. I am confused by the referencing, however. The hook ref is cited to footnote 1 in the lead, but footnote 1 only has 5 lines describing the date, height, and inscription on the monument. Under History, the hook ref is cited to footnote 2, but I don't see it there either. I do find it in footnote 4. Meanwhile, footnote 2 is linking to a calendar of web searches. Do you have a more accurate URL for that one? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 21:11, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: I removed the refs from lead, they are not necessary and indeed they were not the best. I changed ref 2 to a direct pdf download to the current location, with the archive link to the older one as a mirror. The publication has an article on pl wiki at pl:Zeszyty Katyńskie and the current ToC is here. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:57, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
