We all know that there are a lot of teenagers in particular, that like to vandalize articles that are against the Nazi regime. AstroSaturn (talk) 11:20, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That might be true but page protections are not added to articles pre-emptively, in advance of possible vandalism. If you wish to ask for page proteciton of some type, the best way to do that is to go to Wikipedia:Requests for page protection and request it. However, this page has only been protected once - that was back in 2019 plus there hasn't been any recent vandalism so I doubt this article will get protected by admins.

A recent edit added a new "part of" to the infobox - Dachau Uprising. Dachau Uprising is a new unassessed article and I think an editorial consensus should be established here on 1)whether or not Dachau liberation reprisals is part of the new topic/article Dachau Uprising.
In my opinion I don't think this article is a sub-article to the other but maybe I'm wrong. Let's discuss things here so we can reach an editorial consensus. Shearonink (talk) 15:20, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was the one that added "part of" to the Infobox. I am pretty sure that both articles are related in terms of history. Sorry if I misunderstood something here. AstroSaturn (talk) 17:20, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
