Fighting Auschwitz

(
)

Created by Piotrus (talk). Self-nominated at 14:40, 29 March 2021 (UTC).

Interesting book, on good sources, subscription and offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I think the hook rests a bit too much on one person, while the book is about resistence from many nationalities. What do you think about mentioning the full title, and then just the name without explanation? - Some suggestions for the article, - not necessary for approval:
  • I'd like a bit more lead, from the last reviews which give a good evaluation of the whole thing.
  • I't tell the publishing chronologically.
  • I could imagine Description, rather than jumping to Reception.
  • I'm not happy with "as of 2006" which is long ago.
  • A sentence with "most recent" will likely get wrong.
  • Please mark refernces in other languages as such.
Thank you for the article. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:46, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
@Piotrus: SL93 (talk) 05:34, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
SL93, Thanks, I missed this as I wasn't pinged and my watchlist is pretty swamped (ping User:Gerda Arendt). I've expanded the lead, feel free to add more if I missed something you wanted to see there. Publishing order fixed. Description, as in, 'contents' (plot summary hardly applies)? Hmm, I concur this section would be useful, and I'll add it to my to-do list, although I think comprehensiveness is not required for DYK. " As of 2006" - I couldn't find a more recent source for the statistics. The most recent - just needs to be updated when a newer edition is published. Languages added.
ALT1 per Gerda's suggestion would read like this: ... that the 1975 book Fighting Auschwitz: the resistance movement in the concentration camp was the first work to discuss in detail the story of Witold Pilecki?
I feel that we should explain why Pilecki is important here. So maybe
ALT1a per Gerda's suggestion would read like this: ... that the 1975 book Fighting Auschwitz: the resistance movement in the concentration camp was the first work to discuss in detail the story of the resistance's founder, Witold Pilecki? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:10, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
Piotrus, thank you, and no, I don't ping the regulars ;) - I like ALT1 better, - they know already who he was, or will be made curious to find out. The long bolded link alone will attract a sizable audience, before mentioning him. Promised. I still approve both. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:24, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
