Balawyder alias Swoger?

I looked into the bibliographies of Aloysius Balawyder && Gordon Swoger separated by a gulf of 30 years and I see striking similarities in topics and even in book titles. Alias/copycat/plagiarism? Unfortunately google/amazon allow me to look into the contents of the latter one. Staszek Lem (talk) 16:57, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Goering

This is a minor point but wasn't Hermann Goering notorious for filling his estate with stolen art from Poland? The Garbage Skow (talk) 03:14, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cows, rails and factories

This article is about cultural heritage and works of art looted from Poland. Instead, page contains extensive statistics on the food resources, construction materials and factories acquired during the liberation of Poland from Nazis. This statistics is 1) off-topic in the current article, 2) promotes a biased opinion, since there is no statistics on the same subject on the side of Germany.PrecisePlatypus (talk) 17:30, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would say rather that the article seems a bit confused about what it's about. From the title, "World War II looting of Poland", the wholesale looting of (say) farm animals by the Soviets would seem entirely on-topic. Pinkbeast (talk) 01:25, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

poor sourcing in industrial plunder section.

Unlike the well sourced chapter on the Nazis, which has citations for individual claims as the end of a sentence, the "industrial plunder" section of the Soviet Union chapter has all of its sources left for the very end of the paragraph, making it unclear which references should be looked at for what claims (in addition to the fact they are all in polish).

Perhaps a contributor who reads polish can move up the references or references cited by those references to the individual claims? It's the best I can think of to solve this issue. AssanEcho (talk) 09:09, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
