DYK for German atrocities committed against prisoners of war during World War II

On 9 January 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article German atrocities committed against prisoners of war during World War II, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that while Germans murdered millions of prisoners of war during WWII, the survival ratio of Jewish POWs was generally tied to the army or nation they served with, and not to their ethnicity? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/German atrocities committed against prisoners of war during World War II. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, German atrocities committed against prisoners of war during World War II), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Anglo-American

Hi. Not adverse to a dab, however the first item does not point to a particular subject, rather it is more of a definition than a link to an article on that subject. Therefore there is currently only one valid target. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:56, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Onel5969 I am not sure if this is against policy? There is also Anglo American plc. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:35, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I'm pretty sure it is. One of the 3 aspects of a dab page is "Ensuring that a reader who searches for a topic using a particular term can get to the information on that topic quickly and easily, whichever of the possible topics it might be." The first item on the dab page was little more than a definition, and definitely didn't link to get the reader to a particular topic. In addition, each bullet on a dab should only have a single blue link. Also, I'm not quite sure what you intended to refer to in that first definition. Did you mean inhabitants of those 5 countries? Those 5 countries as a group? Or that each of those countries might also be referred to by that term? Finally, re: the plc, that can be handled by a hatnote, since the demographic is clearly the primary target. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 18:59, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Onel5969 The point is that Anglo-American refers, primarily, to "both Britain and the US."; the redirect to Anglo-Americans is misleading. This is also true for many links pointing to it. Anyway, I fortunately found a proper single article to use in the disambig (Anglosphere). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:19, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Should this be merged with Anglo American disambig? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:22, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Allied prisoners of war in Japan

On 12 January 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Allied prisoners of war in Japan, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the harsh treatment of Allied prisoners of war in Japan is well known in the West but mostly ignored or glossed over in Japan itself? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Allied prisoners of war in Japan. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Allied prisoners of war in Japan), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
