Pretty sure that the article is incorrect in identifying Chelmno as an Operation Reinharidt deathcamp. Wilhelm Ritter

Fair use rationale for Image:LodzRumJP.jpg

Image:LodzRumJP.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Łódź, Lodz or Litzmannstadt? What would it be?

Google Book Search:

The unilateral move to a new title is unacceptable, including the careful removal of all alternative names from everywhere in Wikipedia by User: Fisel (e.g. even from other users personal talk pages, which is mind-boggling). Somebody please, roll it back and request the use of proper channels for community feedback. --207.102.64.198 (talk) 00:46, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, there never was a General Litzmannstadt according to Google search, contrary to User: Fisel's laughable edit summaries. --207.102.64.198 (talk) 01:13, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Title

In English one calls it the Lodz Ghetto. The current name is expressly Nazi. Norvo (talk) 04:47, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As was the ghetto, no? Interesting that this has sat for a year; perhaps it might be well discussed over at Talk:Łódź? --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 21:20, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, both the ghetto and the name Litzmannstadt were Nazi. However, the usual name of the city and the ghetto in English is Lodz. Norvo (talk) 23:57, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it's Łódź, per our article. I would support a move to Łódź Ghetto. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 19:22, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:22, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ghetto Litzmannstadt → Łódź Ghetto — Per above discussion, this is what it is most commonly called in English (modulo diacritics, but it's Wikipedia's style to include those). Also consistent with others in Category:World War II ghettos, and in particular its Poland subcategories.--Kotniski (talk) 06:38, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support ~~Exactly what nom said~~ move to Lodz Ghetto (without diacritics) per nom and User: Dohn Joe..--brew crewer (yada, yada) 05:14, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support. It shouldn't have been moved to this name in the first place. Jayjg ^(talk) 18:54, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- To clarify, #1 choice is Lodz Ghetto, #2 choice is Łódź Ghetto. But definitely move it from Ghetto Litzmannstadt. Jayjg ^(talk) 02:26, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support The proposed name is the name used far more frequently in sources. Alansohn (talk) 19:59, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Additional note As much as I dislike diacritics myself, we should match the title of the parent article Łódź and use them here. Alansohn (talk) 19:37, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Partial support. I disagree that it's Wikipedia's style to include diacritics. In some cases it does, and in some it doesn't. (Cf. Tłuchowo and Hokkaido.) WP:DIACRITICS suggests that we should use the form most commonly seen in English. In this case, regardless of where WP puts the Łódź article, I think most people would agree that the most common usage of the subject of this page is Lodz Ghetto, which is where I would support a move. Dohn joe (talk) 20:59, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but WP:DIACRITICS is written (and defended from change) by people who dislike diacritics; it doesn't give an accurate picture of Wikipedia's actual customs, which we can observe (at least in relation to names in Poland and other European countries with Latin alphabets) to be to include original diacritics almost everywhere. Is there any special reason to deviate from the norm and omit them from this title? For example, is there strong Jewish usage that would omit them? How about the other Polish ghetto articles?--Kotniski (talk) 23:31, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Of course it should be renamed. It's invariably known as the Łódź Ghetto. The diacritics should most certainly be retained, as the correct name of the city doesn't sound anything like "Lodge" as a lack of diacritics would suggest. -- Necrothesp (talk) 00:23, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Most common name, and current common name... PS. If this is not clear, support Łódź Ghetto, obviously (since this is the name under discussion). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 19:13, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support no-brainer. Never heard of Litzmannstadt before. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 20:21, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I was asked to elaborate on Lodz vs. Łódź. I don't really care, but I'd say since the city goes by Łódź on wikipedia, consistency would be good. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 07:23, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hans Biebow is underestimated

Hans Biebow is mentioned only once. The German Management Board (Gettoverwaltung) is mentioned in another place, no names.Xx236 (talk) 10:03, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Biebow was hanged in Poland, I haven't found any other German criminal punished.Xx236 (talk) 11:06, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A total of 68,000 Jews passed through it;

What is 68,000 and what is the "it"?

If you mean those who were transported to the ghetto, the number of local inhabitanst is needed, either.Xx236 (talk) 11:25, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is actually clear (the ghetto), but more importantly the 68,000 figure is incorrect. There were 68k Jews in 1944. Icewhiz (talk) 12:00, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. [1]. Icewhiz (talk) 12:11, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ghetto policing

You describe the period when the ghetto was isolated. At the beginning inhabitanst of some houses smuggled food. Xx236 (talk) 07:18, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.lodzgetto.pl/centralne_wiezienie.html,31 Some Polish smugglers were imprisoned in Central Prison.Xx236 (talk) 07:24, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Only one picture shows horrors

The other pictures don't inform about extermination. Xx236 (talk) 07:24, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
