Am appealing for your mediation. I'm not happy with the sentence: "Throughout the [[occupation of Poland (1939–1945)]], many Polish [[gentiles]] made significant efforts to save Jews from the German Nazis." The Yad Vashem data shows the biggest number of rescuers were Polish gentiles. Every time I write it in the opening sentence, I get cut and accused of POV or edit warring. I'm going to take a break and see if you can take a look at this. [[User:Jjaggeropen|Jjaggeropen]] ([[User talk:Jjaggeropen|talk]]) 07:31, 1 June 2009 (UTC) |

* I sympathize with your distress over the opening statement of this article because I myself hate edit warring and try to remain objective. Technically speaking you both were correct. Yes, Poles did more than any other nation to save Jews, and yes, Polish gentiles made significant efforts to save Jews from the German Nazis. Please try to look at it as a joint effort where nobody is at fault. Lecturing others (especially about language) will only hurt their egos, but you can add your proper statement without deleting anything of theirs, and believe me, it will read just fine in the opening line. --[[User:Poeticbent|<font face="Papyrus" color="darkblue"><b>Poeticbent</b></font>]] [[User_talk:Poeticbent|<small><font style="color:#FFFFFF;background:#FF88AF;border:1px solid #DF2929;padding:0.0em 0.2em;">talk</font></small>]] 14:54, 1 June 2009 (UTC) |

::Thanks Poeticbent. The problem I have here is that there is no such information in Yad Vashem; some may argue that Denmark, Bulgaria or the Soviet Union did more as a nation etc. Let readers come to the conclusions and skip ''Poles did more than any other nation''.--[[User:Jacurek|Jacurek]] ([[User talk:Jacurek|talk]]) 15:33, 1 June 2009 (UTC) |
