Query

Were you involved in the writing of http://justiceforpolishvictims.org/polish-experience/the-real-source-of-misnomer-polish-death-camps-jacek-gancarson-ms-natalia-zaytseva-phd/ or with the justiceforpolishvictims.org website? Icewhiz (talk) 03:38, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Polish_death_camp%22_controversy

Sorry for a delayed answer. I noticed your question very recently. Yes, I am the author. Since then we elaborated the text an published it in the scientific journal CZECH-POLISH HISTORICAL AND PEDAGOGICAL JOURNAL (https://researcher.life/journal/czech-polish-historical-and-pedagogical-journal/12837 Vol.11,No.2(2019)) under a tittle

"Is the Name “Polish Death Camps” a Misnomer?" https://journals.muni.cz/cphpjournal/article/view/15139 published

I have noticed that a large part of the wikipedia text (in the chapter ==Public use of the expression==) exposes our discovery presented in above article slightly more extensively than before:

"As early as 1944, the expression "Polish death camp" appeared as the title of a Collier's magazine article, "Polish Death Camp". This was an excerpt from the Polish resistance fighter Jan Karski's 1944 memoir, Courier from Poland: The Story of a Secret State (reprinted in 2010 as Story of a Secret State: My Report to the World). Karski himself, in both the book and the article, had used the expression "Jewish death camp", not "Polish death camp". As shown in 2019, the Collier's editor changed the title of Karski's article typescript, "In the Belzec Death Camp", to "Polish Death Camp".

(In fact it is an important clarification which, if discovered earlier, could have reduced political and social tensions and controversies dramatically).

In the Wikipedia text there is also a notice that a better source is required. Therefore we propose that the current reference to the premature version of our article is replaced in the Wikipedia text (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Polish_death_camp%22_controversy) by this new-one, named here, scientific article.

With best regards

You didn’t have to respond to that user. The above account (Icewhiz) has been globally banned from editing Wikipedia. If you want, you can remove his question (along with your answer). - GizzyCatBella🍁 00:52, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your explanation. My purpose with contacting Wikipedia was only to submit the upgrade of the reference quality required by the editors. Our new article has been published in the scientific journal included in Web of Science Citation Index: Here is the new reference nr 47:

Gancarson, Jacek; Zaitceva, Natalia (2019). "Is the Name 'Polish Death Camps" a Misnomer?". Czech-Polish Historical And Pedagogical Journal. 15 (2): 95-107. [1]https://doi.org/10.5817/cphpj-2019-022. Retrieved 11 December 2022.
