Conquest of Lusatia and murder of Sorb princes by Gero II, Margrave of the Saxon Ostmark
The Sorb article states: "In 932, Henry I conquered Lusatia and Milsko. Gero II, Margrave of the Saxon Ostmark, reconquered Lusatia the following year and, in 939, murdered 30 Sorbian princes during a feast. As a result, there were many Sorbian uprisings against German rule." If you follow the link to the Wikipedia article on Gero II, Margrave of the Saxon Ostmark, you see he lived from ca 975 to 1015. So he was not even born at the time referenced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.239.112.219 (talk) 19:26, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
Complete rework needed due to clear agenda
This does not read itself like an encyclopaedic article, but instead like an essay on why Lusatia should be part of Poland.
First of all, why is there a section on genetics? Why would anyone be interested in some obscure research papers, that are actually about health issues, if not to construe some weird genetic (racial) link. Wikipedia should not be a platform for this pseudoscientific racism. Delete.
Then theres an entire Poland section, that mostly repeats some parts of the history section. In any case, there doesnt seem to be a close link between the Poles and the Sorbs, if anything it should be a Bohemia/Czechia section. Also, why include a map of Poland from over 1000 years ago (its because of irredentism). Delete.
The culture and language part doesnt tell as anything about Sorbian culture, just how some Sorbs allegedly wanted to separate. I cant believe that this entire, very long, article never mentions famous Sorbian writers like Jurij Brezan or institutions like the Sorbian museum, or the University faculty for Sorabistics in Leipzig. Or what about the extremely famous legends and literature on Krabat?
The entire article should be deleted and rewritten.

Interbellum and World War II
The first paragraph on Word War II mentions "the Sorbs were largely safe from the Reich's policies of ethnic cleansing". This section has no references / sources.
The following paragraph describes how the Sorbs were victims of genocide. I think this is contradicting the previous paragraph. This paragraph has references / sources.
Probably needs some attention. Another.one.of.these (talk) 14:49, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
