Jindřich Marco

  • ... that most of Jindřich Marco's early photography of Budapest was lost when a train carrying his exposed film was ambushed by Red Army deserters, who threw it out of the window?

  • Comment by nominator: As most of the material in Birgus's introduction to Hořká leta · Evropa (1995) reappears in his introduction to Jindřich Marco (2014), I've guessed that the latter benefits from almost two decades of reflection, etc, and therefore in the article have cited it rather than the former. (The older introduction does have detail that the newer one lacks, so I may yet change my mind.) The newer book isn't at the Internet Archive, but you'll be able to verify the original "hook" via page 21 of Hořká leta · Evropa. As for "ALT1", you'll find much of this (but no mention of Gottwald) on page 31 of Hořká leta · Evropa; for Gottwald, see Moucha's "Message". (Both these sources are in English.) -- Hoary (talk) 00:14, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Nominator has fewer than 5 DYK's so no QPQ required. Sourcing for both hooks checked OK. First hook uses the word "early": would be better to specify 1945 or possibly "at the end of WWII" with wikilink. ALT1, if used, should wikilink Klement Gottwald. I have no preference, so let OP or promoter choose. Article itself needs expanded WP:LEAD of about 200 words. Mike Turnbull (talk) 16:12, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for the comments, Mike Turnbull.

  • ALT2 (unnumbered hook, adjusted): ... that most of Jindřich Marco's photographs of Budapest in 1945 were lost when a train carrying his exposed film was ambushed by Red Army deserters, who threw it out of the window?
    • Sources: As specified for the unnumbered hook above; see also "Comment by nominator" above.
  • ALT3 (ALT1, adjusted): ... that an irreverent photograph of Czechoslovak President Klement Gottwald brought a ten-year sentence for the photojournalist Jindřich Marco, who had to serve seven years in uranium mines?
    • Sources: As specified for ALT1 above; see also "Comment by nominator" above. -- Hoary (talk) 08:26, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
