![]() | On 29 September 2022, it was proposed that this article be moved to Hidden children. The result of the discussion was Moved to Hidden children during the Holocaust. |
DEALT WITH: While it is certainly a noble cause to increase awareness of financial compensation that may be available from the German government for persons that were in hiding from Nazi aggression while children, it is not appropriate for a Wikipedia article to advocate or encourage specific action on the part of its readers. I mention this now, just because I am sure that if I don't, that there will soon be concerns posted about this article being too much like an advertisement, etc.
DEALT WITH: For instance: "The extra trauma suffered by these Hidden Children has been recognized in a most remarkable fashion... ...Any Hidden Child who reads this should in fact make a claim for this payment"
DEALT WITH; AN EXCELLENT SUGGESTION - I WAS NOT AWARE OF THAT ENTRY!!!! This is not to say that there is not information and perspective on this topic that could be added Wikipedia and provide additional resources and enrichment for its readers.
Have we considered trying to incorporate some of this information into the article Children in the Holocaust, and perhaps discussing potential enhancements on that article's talk page, with editors who have already contributed to that article?
I appreciate the efforts that have been put into this topic thus far, and it is because I think it is an important topic that I raise these concerns and am suggesting the approach above. KConWiki ( talk) 15:45, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Hidden Children → Hidden children – Proposing lowercase since this term is clearly not a proper name and is not capitalized in the body of any of the cited sources that I could find (only in title-case headlines). I originally performed this move without discussion, but just self-reverted that after an objection on the article Talk page. Although I performed a self-revert in response to the objection, I still have the same opinion. The objection seems like advocacy of a different capitalization convention to me, as discussed at MOS:SIGCAPS, with the idea that capital letters should be used to signify that this is a "special group" of children. My impression is that capitalization to indicate specialness is not supported by Wikipedia policies and guidelines. — BarrelProof ( talk) 17:25, 29 September 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mello hi!
