• ... that the Samoan branch of the Nazi Party derived much of its support from the mixed race residents of the Territory of Western Samoa?

• Source: "support for Nazi Socialism and the NSDAP leader Matthes was, in the opinion of the Administration, strongest among the 'mixed-blood' Germans ... Matthes and the men that followed him were on the margins of the brotherhood of whiteness" from:

• Hello Dumelow, I am reviewing your DYK nomination.

Article was written recently and meets DYK raw prose size requirement.

Y There is a QPQ. in Your Quid Pro Quo review, please note at Template:Did you know nominations/Andy Barat that they also need to complete a Quid Pro Quo.

Article is well written. Please do change formatting of the Flickr primary source used, the publisher isn't Flickr, rather it's the Adminstration/Police of Apia. Flickr is merely a webhost.

Merge duplicate source of Field Michael (1989); Reed p.219

Hi Shushugah, thanks for the review. Good spot on that ref, I have merged it into a single citation. I removed "Flickr" from that other ref. Let me know if there is anything else you would like me to do - Dumelow (talk) 06:37, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

this DYK is ready and nominator addressed all my concerns ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 22:53, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
