Szebnie concentration camp edit

(

... that the 30 year old heiress of the Szebnie estate (pictured) died infected with typhus while caring for sick prisoners at the Szebnie concentration camp in 1942?

The article and hook mention typhus but the image information (derived from reference 3 (in Polish)) talks about typhoid fever. These are entirely different diseases and this confusion needs to be cleared up before this nomination can proceed. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:27, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the asking, Cwmhiraeth. The reference in Polish says, quote: "Podczas epidemii tyfusu plamistego, jaki panował w obozie w latach 1941-1942 zaraziła się i wkrótce zmarła mając zaledwie 30 lat." In Google translate the entire sentence reads as: "During an epidemic of typhus that prevailed in the camp in 1941-1942 she got infected, and soon died at the age of 30." "Tyfus plamisty" translates in Google as "typhus", not "typhoid fever".[1] – Actually, I did double-check in Wikipedia search before I wrote it down, because I had the same doubts as you. I'm not a doctor. I would not know myself, which disease is deadly and so easily transferable.

Done I just changed the i-link in main copy from epidemic typhus to typhus. What do you say? Poeticbent talk 13:15, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

OK, all well now. The article is long enough and new enough. The hook reference is in Polish and accepted in good faith. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:49, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
