Revise sentence

"saving countless additional Jewish lives" suggests that the only significance of a Typhus vaccine is to save Jewish lives. The sentence is unaware that a Typhus vaccine could be beneficial to other human ethnicities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.79.171.22 (talk) 03:08, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Weigl Institute.jpg

Image:Weigl Institute.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

No reason to revise a sentence

The vaccines smuggled into the Jewish ghettos predominantly saved Jewish lives. Quite logical. It is really not that hard to read the sentence consciously. Marcowy Człowiek (talk) 14:02, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Austro-Polish?

I'd like to establish consensus before making an edit, but I'd like to ask if we should change the lead sentence from "Rudolf Stefan Jan Weigl (2 September 1883 – 11 August 1957) was a Polish biologist" to "Rudolf Stefan Jan Weigl (2 September 1883 – 11 August 1957) was an Austro-Polish biologist", I have the following sources claiming he was of German-Moravian descent Crainsaw (talk) 20:03, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
