![]() | On 20 March 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Sologubovka Cemetery, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Sologubovka Cemetery, near St Petersburg, Russia, is the largest German war cemetery in the world and the final resting place of over 30,000 German war dead from World War II? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Since you have not answered the questions I asked over at the talk page of Western Betrayal, I am going to reiterate them here, because I find some of the comments quite strange. Who was this "third party" that asked you to make edits to the page? Why are you referring to your edits in the first person plural, "we"? Are you editing along with someone else?

The Manual of Style tells us: "External links should not normally be used in the body of an article. Articles can include an external links section at the end to list links to websites outside Wikipedia that contain further information, as opposed to citing sources."
You've provided no rationale at all for using an external link at a mid-sentence reference to the camp (without any image). It also failed to link to the file with the quoted text!
As for the image caption, I don't see how you can come to a private agreement with the owner of the image file. Anyone can use that image anywhere on Wikipedia. And nothing about the method of constructing a link is detailed in the image's license.
If you want to do something idiosyncratic, you need to put a comment in the text that will not display unless someone tries to edit this file, like this: You'll have to view the source of this page to see that. Bmclaughlin9 ( talk) 19:57, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
