The section on Anti-Semitism says (uncited) that Christian theology blamed Jews for killing Jesus. I was somewhat taken aback by this statement; it was certainly not the THEOLOGY which blamed Jews. This rather abrupt, conclusive statement appears to be somewhere between NPOV and unsourced information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.161.252.6 (talk) 02:39, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Death toll in Poland

Your Death Toll table by country puts Poland at 2,100,000. The Hebrew Wikipedia article puts that figure at 2,900,000-3,000,000 out of 3,300,000 Polish Jews, citing Yad Vashem (https://www.yadvashem.org/yv/he/holocaust/resource_center/faq.asp). You may want to address this discrepancy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.32.136.239 (talk) 04:14, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 5 September 2020

This edit complicated things. 272,000 is the number killed in the Baltic states, while 2,100,000 is the total number of Jews killed across the Soviet Union (excluding Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia). Currently both figures appear as the Soviet Union, which doesn't make sense.--Zemilofa (talk) 23:00, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @Shhhnotsoloud:, in case they don't have the article on their watchlist. Robby.is.on (talk) 23:06, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Zemilofa:@Robby.is.on: Thank you for pinging me. All I did was edit a wiklink to avoid a deleted disambiguation page redirect. I agree that there seems to be an anomaly but I must leave it to experts in this important subject to correct it. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:27, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is, @Shhhnotsoloud:, you didn't just replace the link, you also modified the meaning. "Baltic states" are not the same as the "Soviet Union". It would have been better to just remove the link. Robby.is.on (talk) 11:39, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Robby.is.on: yes, you're right, I'm sorry. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 11:41, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Kudos for owning up, @Shhhnotsoloud:. Thanks for bringing this to our attention, @Zemilofa:.
This is the best we can do for now, I think. Robby.is.on (talk) 11:44, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mistake

In the beginning of "Invasion of France and the Low Countries", in "Main articles" Belgium and the Netherlands are in the wrong situations. Have a look at it. I'm not allowed to correct that.--Kani (talk) 22:53, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Recognizing other victims.

Beginning should say the killing of European Jews, non-Jewish Poles, and other groups throughout Europe. All victims matter, not just the biggest group. The same can be said about death toll. It should say 11 million, including 6 million jews, not just saying 6 million jews. JazzBandDrummer (talk) 01:33, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
