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.

Something is wrong. The majority of victims was transported from Kolo to Powiercie using a narrow gauge rail. I'm not sure how they were transported to Kolo, rather not all of them by rail. Xx236 (talk) 14:19, 8 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
What other means would there have been? By truck? No way! - first it should be defined where this Kolo is! On a map I see: Lodz to Kolo is 60km directly to the north-west, whereas Powierce is on the same "line" 10km south of Powierce. HOWEVER there is also a Kolo: Koło, Łódź Voivodeship = 47 km (29 mi) south-east of the regional capital Łódź.[1] - SO THERE are at least two Kolo in a direct "line" - one about 60km NW to Lodz AND another 47km SE of Lodz! 80.151.9.187 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 14:01, 8 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
Again looking at the map! The railway line passes Kolo from north-west in a curve and goes off to the east! Strange that there is no railway crossing of the Warta, so one can assume that transports came from the north-west on the standard gauge railway into Kolo and were then transferred to (a no longer existing?) narrow gauge railway line to Powierce, which is the closest rail transport to Kulmhof/Chelmno is possible. 80.151.9.187 (talk)
regarding: "(a no longer existing?) narrow gauge railway line to Powierce": from teh German article "Dabie": "Der Bahnhof Dąbie Kolskie am Nordrand der Stadt war Endpunkt der Schmalspurbahn Sompolno–Dąbie Kolskie. " - translated: The station Dbie Kolskie on the northern outskirts of the town (Dabie) WAS the end point of the narrow gauge line Sompolno (to the north of Dabie) –Dąbie Kolskie 80.151.9.187 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 14:50, 8 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
According to Patrick Montague the name "Chełmno extermination camp" is ahistorical. The name of the camp was Kulmhof.

My statement is obviously true. Patric Montague is quoted several times. If you believe that the place is wrong, you are able to move the text instaed to remove it. But I believe that this information is basic, so it should go after the ahistorical name, to inform about the problem, rather to hide the information in a long text. There was no Chełmno at that time.Xx236 (talk) 11:53, 15 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
You need to add a source when adding information. It's not enough to say someone is quoted several times - add a correct citation as most of this article is sourced. This is basic Wikipedia 101 - adding a reliable source when adding the information. Ealdgyth - Talk12:09, 15 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Montague discusses this in the introduction. He says the name "Chelmno" for the camp is historically inaccurate and probably comes from the first ever English language translation of the commission report on the camp. He also says that it despite its inaccuracy it has become common in English literature and that's why he uses it. Volunteer Marek 02:03, 8 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
