:::alright, enough for now. I will keep adding quotes and sources, maybe you will be able to use some of them? If PBS goes ahead with the line-by-line review of the article he suggested, whatever gets added will ideally include direct quotes or indisputable summaries of strong sources. Thanks for your interest and please don't get too caught up in all the bureaucratic wrangling the article's owner prosecutes onto everyone posting things she doesn't like!

Where to aim?
:The available literature on the subject suggests 4 broad areas belonging in the article which are currently absent'
:1. WB as but one of several betrayals on the Polish people, in terms of Polish weltenschaung widely adopted in the 20th century. A discussion of WB as part of an overall Polish self-mythology in part enunciated elsewhere at [[Christ of Europe]]. The victimhood and martyrdom identities are adopted/encouraged.
:2, WB as a political catchphrase used by the West, the Poles, other EE nations and ths Soviets for various and opposing meanings/purposes esp. In the Cold War.
:3. WB as a frequent phrase implying AngloAmerican blame for national failures everywhere, e.g. Googling WB today reveals Kurdistan(!), not Poland, is the loudest and most recent victim of this apparently frequent western policy. China is another, the Jews are another, and many others.
:4. Specific arguments that the idea of WB is simply wrong, the historians, statesmen etc. who argue there was no betrayal, no duty to Poland/EE or that Poland betrayed itself.
:
So all the sources I find will likely fit I into one of the four areas....most of the sources I list above seem to it into area 2, WB used as a partisan political concept.
