Globocnik did not supervise Chelmno

The article states that Odilo Globocnik was responsible for setting up the Chelmno extermaination camp. This is incorrect, though he was responsible (as stated) for Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka and Majdanek. Chelmno was a local initiative of the Wartheland occupation administration under Gaulieter/Reichsstathalter Arthur Greiser, HSSPF Wilhelm Koppe and Sipo chief Ernst Damzog, and was intended only to murder the Jews (and Roma) of that territory, particularly the population of the ghetto of Lodz. Chelmno had nothing to do with Aktion Reinhard and its origins in the "Euthenasia" (T4) operation are very different, starting with the murder of disabled hospital inmates from across West Prussia in gas vans under the command of Herbert Lange who then become Chelmno commandant.

Globocnik's responsibility for other camps in Nazi-occupied Poland

After no reply for nine years, I went ahead and removed the reference to Chelmno. It's also not clear what is meant by Globocnik being in charge of all the camps in occupied Poland. That would imply control over the hundreds of camps, sub-camps and labour camps controlled by the WVHA, such as Gross Rosen and Stutthof, and that was certainly not the case. He did, however, control the sub-camps of Majdanek that are not otherwise mentioned: Poniatowa, Trawniki, Budzyn, Blitzyn, Krasnik, Pulawy, Lublin/Lipowa Street, Lublin/Old Airfield.
