DYK for German atrocities committed against prisoners of war during World War II

On 9 January 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article German atrocities committed against prisoners of war during World War II, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that while Germans murdered millions of prisoners of war during WWII, the survival ratio of Jewish POWs was generally tied to the army or nation they served with, and not to their ethnicity? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/German atrocities committed against prisoners of war during World War II. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, German atrocities committed against prisoners of war during World War II), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Polish language help

Hi Piotrus,

I wrote an article on the ToNiePokój escape room fire, and am doing some research for information to expand it. My Polish is not very good yet, and the passage "Prokurator zwróciła także uwagę na opinię biegłych, według których budynek był w złym stanie technicznym. - Nie było tam stałego źródła ogrzewania, a o wynajmie zadecydowała niska cena czynszu - dodała. W mowie końcowej wypunktowano także zlekceważenie obowiązku wprowadzenia stałego ogrzewania do lokalu usługowego i instrukcji obsługi tych urządzeń. - Piecyki gazowe, mające ogrzewać lokal, umieszczono w pomieszczeniach pozbawionych wentylacji i zawierających materiały łatwopalne - podkreśliła prokurator Sielska." (from [1]) is confusing me and Google translate is coming up with gibberish. If it is not too much trouble, would you mind giving me the gist of the passage? Thank you for any help you can provide. All the best, Grumpylawnchair (talk) 16:53, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Grumpylawnchair Sure. Here's my corrected Google Translate: The prosecutor also drew attention to the experts opinion, according to which the building was in poor technical condition. - There was no permanent source of heating there, and the low rent was the deciding factor in renting it - she added. The final speech also highlighted the neglect of the obligation to introduce permanent heating to the service premises and the [the neglect of the obligation to follow the] instructions for using these devices. - Gas heaters, which were supposed to heat the premises, were placed in rooms without ventilation and containing flammable materials - emphasized prosecutor Sielsak

Overall, GT did a good job; it changed experts to expert. I an not sure what else could be confusing, but I clarified one part that might be unclear in the original? Is there anything else you'd like to ask about this passage? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:55, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, thank you. I realised that I had used Firefox's local translate instead of Google Translate, and that's what caused the gibberish. I still have issues in understanding more formal Polish sometimes, since I learn as a hobby, and I guess that the conjugation confused me. All the best, Grumpylawnchair (talk) 04:04, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ten no Hate Made – Poland Hishi

hello! i read through your GA review of ten no hate made. i don't mind assisting with some of the japanese, but i'm going in relatively blind, having only read versailles, claudine, and oniisama e... i'm a little pre-occupied right now, but if you can point me in the direction for what you need or give me some sources to work from, i'd be happy to help any way i can! Plifal (talk) 13:19, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Plifal Much appreciated. I don't know if there are any academic works mentioning this in Japanese, but I'd expect there should be at least some reviews or such? I'd be very curious if there was any commentary by Japanese reviewers on the choice of subject matter (Polish history), which is very rare in Japan, but I'll settle for just learning what the reviewers said (assuming any can be found). Versailles is pretty famous, so I'd think someone would notice that spin off... _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:48, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

no worries! a cursory google search returned mostly book shops, but i'll see if i can dig for anything more.--Plifal (talk) 15:03, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Plifal Based on my experience with Polish sources, a lot will be non-digitized (particularly considering the age of this). For Polish sources, I often stumble upon mentions of old reviews and such through google book snippets - then I ask a colleague in Poland to go the library and scan stuff for me. Not sure how that will work for Japanese language sources. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:55, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ok understood, i'll do the same. i might be able to find something in the otaku district here too. i'll do my best!--Plifal (talk) 04:01, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Plifal Thanks. I am curious to find what sources, if any exist. I'd assume there would be outlets in Japan that would publish reviews of manga; if not academic (ex. Polish equivalent would be Nowe Książki) then presumably in otaku manga magazines and fanzines, which I'd expect to be pretty popular in Japan. Category:Literary magazines published in Japan has many options, and there is also Category:Manga magazines published in Japan, some of which could publish reviews. The big issues is how digitized they are, given that most editions were published in the 1990s. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:47, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Plifal A collegue send me a lists of potential reviews found by an AI, although (1) I am not sure if they are reliable and (2) they probably are not the old reviews, but some new ones?

@Piotrus thank you kindly! i'll look through these this week. i went to the otaku district here but couldn't find any old magazines carrying reviews, but did find cheap copies of the manga with some kind of accompanying text which may contain something useful.--Plifal (talk) 12:25, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
