Should any article that has to "survive" an AfD really belong in a reference work?-- mrg3105 ( comms) ♠♥♦♣ 12:04, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
Rather than a slow edit war, adding/deleting tags, why aren't the references from the sub-articles simply copied over to provide citations for relevant bits of text here? -- ROGER DAVIES talk 06:17, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
Consider this
So, two sources, with one completely irrelevant, one that explicitly states they were not in any way combined, if anything pointing out that the Breslau position necessitated a split of the Front, and another which confirms this in a single sentence...good editing-- mrg3105 ( comms) ♠♥♦♣ 07:04, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps there was some misunderstanding. I am not insisting on the name ( Silesian Offensives). The purpose of this article is not to create some artificial name for the Lower and Upper Silesian Offensives; it is to describe the history of Silesia during early 1945, when it was taken by Soviets from the Germans. Thus the scope of the article is actually slightly larger than than the two mentioned operations; since it also includes the end of the Sandomierz-Silesian Offensive Operation and the Moravian-Ostrava Offensive Operation. In other words, this article should not be seen as part of the canon series of the Strategic operations of the Red Army in World War II, but as part of the History of Silesia sub article series, gathering info about all of the 1945 combat taking place in Silesia in one place. PS. As for references: it is obvious that any refs describing the smaller offensives are relevant to this article. And there are many publications on the history of Silesia, including those dedicated to early 1945, so the subject is not ORish and is certainly notable.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 17:04, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
