Orphaned references in Story of a Secret State
editI check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Story of a Secret State's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 06:37, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

- ... that the 1944 Story of a Secret State was one of the first book accounts of the German occupation of Poland, including The Holocaust in Poland? Source: https://doi.org/10.1080/14781700.2018.1459310 , https://doi.org/10.1080/07075332.2014.907632 , https://www.miwsr.com/2013-072.aspx

- Piotrus, this is good to go: . I see no plagiarism; it is long enough and new enough. The overall narrative is well-verified and the sources, specifically the Rzepa article, and there's a wealth of reviews--this is the kind of coverage all important books should have. I'd like to see the covers, of both editions, but that's another matter. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 03:08, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
- Drmies, Good point about the covers. Usually, fair use would balk at 2+ covers, but the 1944 cover seems so simple it may be ineligible for copyright. On the other hand, there were several different covers for later editions, and I have no idea which to pick (take a look at google images). I will add the 1944 cover image, but I don't think we can fair use the one of the random covers (and how to pick the one we like?). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:44, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
- Piotrus, what I was wondering is if we can have two covers, given the requirements for fair use of non-free material. Then again, there's tons of articles for albums that have multiple covers... I may have a look later. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 14:15, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
