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 journal, 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.
The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, which has been designated as a contentious topic.

Daniel Blatman (18 October 2019). "Opinion // Israel, It's Time to Call Off the anti-Polish Hunt". Haaretz. Retrieved 31 October 2019. The story has existed on Wikipedia for 15 years, as Benjakob writes. Haaretz termed it the greatest hoax in the history of the online encyclopedia. But it bears remembering that in the course of the period in question, Poland had a number of governments.
Yevgeniy Shestakov (9 January 2020). "Чего боится Польша? Для чего Варшава придумала "Полокост"" (in Russian). Rossiyskaya Gazeta. Retrieved 16 September 2021. Израильская газета "Гаарец" рассказала о том, как в Польше создают фейковую историю. Издание обратило внимание на статью в Википедии, где говорилось о действовавшем в Варшаве нацистском лагере смерти, который якобы был специально создан для уничтожения поляков. [...] Но, как установили историки, такого лагеря для поляков никогда не существовало. [...] Тем не менее в Варшаве продолжают использовать лживую статью в Википедии, чтобы сочинять собственный Холокост - "Полокост". И на этом основании требовать новых репараций от Германии.
Pavel Richter (25 November 2020). "Die erfundenen Gaskammern in der Wikipedia" (in German). Der Spiegel (news website). Retrieved 6 December 2020. Es ist das Verdienst der israelischen Zeitung »Haaretz« und des Journalisten Omer Benjakob, diesen Hoax in der Wikipedia 2019 aufgedeckt zu haben. Der Eintrag (»Warsaw concentration camp«) wurde entsprechend korrigiert.
Shira Klein (14 June 2023). "The shocking truth about Wikipedia's Holocaust disinformation". The Forward. Retrieved 16 June 2023. In one glaring hoax discovered by an Israeli reporter, Wikipedia claimed for 15 years that the Germans annihilated 200,000 non-Jewish Poles in a giant gas chamber in the middle of Warsaw.
Izabella Tabarovsky (25 July 2024). "Wikipedia's Jewish Problem". Tablet. Retrieved 25 July 2024. The story—a fiction—remained on the site for 15 years before the Israeli newspaper Haaretz revealed the problem in 2019. By then, the article had been translated into multiple languages, and its claims incorporated into multiple other Wikipedia articles. An estimated half a million people got exposed to the lie.
