A fact from Hunger Plan appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 25 January 2008.

I think the phrase "the food ratios for German citizens" should read "the food rations for German citizens". However, I'm not certain, so I did not make the change.

[edit] Book advertisement?

There is not one citation in the entire article. There is only one reference, which is not a primary source. If the article is not an ad for his book, it should at least be presented in the context that some bloke called Adam Tooze says it is so. I'm new to Wikipedia, so i'll not make the change myself, but I find it shocking that such a badly written article can be promoted by a link from the MainPage DidYouKnow... section, Start-Class or not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Like minded username (talk • contribs) 00:05, 26 January 2008 (UTC) Like minded username (talk) 00:13, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps a section of the very first sentence in the article should be changed from "Germans were given priority over food...." to "Germans were given priority in the area of food..." or something similar. JGC1010 (talk) 02:50, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
