- ALT1... that in 1943 Alfred Nossig was assassinated by the Polish Jewish resistance for his collaboration with the Nazis? --EEng (talk) 01:51, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
- I myself personally like the ALT1 hook better than my original hook for this DYK? nomination. Futurist110 (talk) 02:30, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
Right now, the article is only 815 characters long - much too short for DYK. However it appears that a large portion of the article was removed by an IP a few days ago without any explanation. I presume you'll want to re-add the deleted material, Futurist110? 97198 (talk) 04:32, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
- I have fixed this right now; I am presuming that this was simply a case of vandalism, considering that I don't think that any part of this article should have been erased. Futurist110 (talk) 05:34, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
- 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, adequately referenced. QPQ done. However, there is quite a bit of close paraphrasing. Perhaps the anonymous IP deleted all the copyvios from the YIVO source; there are also numerous instances of copy/pasting from the JVL source. For example:
- Source: Nossig was in favor of Polish-Jewish assimilation and gravitated toward Polish romanticism, which inspired him in the early 1880s to formulate ideas about liberating Jewish culture from the constraints of tradition. He expressed these ideas in the periodical Ojczyzna (The Fatherland) and in an organization that he himself founded, called Przymierze Braci (Union of Brothers).

- Source: As a student at Lemberg University, Nossig was a pioneer in the field of Jewish demography; in 1884, he won a prize from the university senate for his essay “O ludności” (On Population). At the same time, he wrote theater reviews for Polish and Jewish newspapers. In 1888, he published his first collection of poems, Poezje, which won a competition in Warsaw.

- While this is certainly a start-class article, I'd also like to note that it skims over his alleged allegiance with the Gestapo, and also skips his assignment to the Warsaw Judenrat, among other activities, which are covered in several of your sources.

- Please let me try fixing the close paraphrasing within the next several days. Thank you very much. Futurist110 (talk) 21:24, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
