WARNING: ACTIVE ARBITRATION REMEDIESWikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Antisemitism in Poland#Article sourcing expectations (9 May 2021):
The Arbitration Committee advises that administrators may impose "reliable-source consensus required" as a discretionary sanction on all articles on the topic of Polish history during World War II (1933-45), including the Holocaust in Poland. On articles where "reliable-source consensus required" is in effect, when a source that is not a high quality source (an article in a peer-reviewed scholarly journals, an academically focused book by a reputable publisher, and/or an article published by a reputable institution) is added and subsequently challenged by reversion, no editor may reinstate the source without first obtaining consensus on the talk page of the article in question or consensus about the reliability of the source in a discussion at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard.
The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, which is a contentious topic. Please consult the procedures and edit carefully.

The background section should only briefly say about the origin of UPA and about issues related to the USSR, rather than anything else. For example, why things that had happen in the German-occupied Poland are at all relevant/related to the anti-Soviet resistance? Of course they might, but this needs to be established by sources. Otherwise, they are just content forks. Or, for example, were pogroms related to the anti-Soviet resistance? Of course, theoretically speaking, they could through the canard of Jewish Bolshevism, but I do not see sources making such connection on the page. And sure thing, these guys were very much anti-Polish, but the page is about anti-Soviet resistance, which is simply a different subject. I think this section should be cut significantly.

Well the general problem with the article is that it initially didn't mention anything about pre-Soviet history of OUN/UPA, so there was partially justified suspicion of WP:FORK, in attempt to paint UPA solely as freedom fighters. The other, much bigger problem, is that the whole section about post 1944 UPA-Soviet fighting is machine translation from Ukrainian, is written badly, what's worse is based on unreliable, Ukrainian, often primary sources, for example Litopys UPA, which is a collection of documents created by UPA.
Then you should have made it clear by making changes rather than deleting massive amounts of relevant information. I note there is only one reference intext to genocide now (relating to the Holodomor genocide question) and that it makes a claim of a Soviet genocide on Ukrainians but provides no citations with the claim. I also note that there is no bluelink intext to the Massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia and that the articlea brushes over these relevant events. 79.154.64.32 (talk) 07:23, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
