Warsaw article

I've reinstated the international relations sections and the alpha city. Um ... wait, I'll do alpha now. Tony (talk) 13:53, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Alpha done. Now, where can we find the sources for all of those claims of partner, twin, and sister cities?

Also, please note the trimming back of the hyperlinking that I've done (broadly in line with the MOSLINK guideline. There are two purposes: one is to ration linking to what readers might find most useful (readers rarely follow links anyway, and en.WP has a guideline stressing the careful use of linking); the other purpose is to avoid the "sea of blue". This is very different from linking practice in other WPs, including the Polish WP.

One final request for your input: there are an awful lot of pictures, and some of them are very small given the sweeping breadth, or the fine detail, of their subject. The effect is cluttered and a bit overbearing. Would you consider a slight rationing of them, and enlarging a few where our policy allows the detail-rich to be given greater size? Tony (talk) 14:05, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the sports section is under-referenced. Can you help in that respect? Tony (talk) 14:07, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I will definitely reference sport section properly. Secondly, with the pictures, I'd have to see what to deduct and cut. It'll be difficult to enlarge some as most images and photos should be kept the same size. Oliszydlowski, 14:12, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

There's an understandable tendency in big-city articles to stuff many many tiny pics in. I think one criterion you might consider is whether a pic is generic—how distinctive of Warsaw is it? There are so many pics of buses, trains—any modern city has them, and I'm not sure readers care. Perhaps a few could be removed? There are some utterly beautiful buildings pictured. That is high value. I don't see why all of the pics need to be of equal size, just as not all need to be right-sided. The Jewish museum pic is so small at that distance that it could be ... anything. But it is actually very distinctive. So the pic does it no justice at that size. Tony (talk) 14:20, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Image sizes is something that has been highly discussed among Wikipedia's admins. I think images should be the last issue. First is referencing, grammar and punctuation that requires fixing. Oliszydlowski. 14:22, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

I really don't give a dump what administrators as a separate, often dishonest and conflicted class of "editors", think. I care more about what editors as a whole think. Yes, the language throughout could be tightened up. Tony (talk) 14:31, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Józef Piłsudski article

Oliszydlowski, Pilsudski from Vilna, central Lithuania province. He was slavic-speaking. Who he should be if not litvin-belarusian? There are so many newspaper news from 1993 and there is still it's questionable that 1887 interrogation report indicated that he called himself a "belarusian nobleman"? [1] If it was a false statement - this would cause international scandal years ago, but that's not happened. So I ask you - don't remove this info. Maximum - ask for detailed scan of this report with appropriate mark. Craft37by (talk) 20:31, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Did you actually check the edit?

Still, if you want to keep poor quality images instead in this Wikipedia, it is up to you. Thank to people like you my motivation to take pictures in Poland is lower and lower --Poco^2 13:03, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I was in the process of making a collage, hence my removal of the image from the infobox. No need to get defensive :) You can re-add the theatre image to the body of the article. Best Regards. Oliszydlowski, 14:19, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for your answer, but please, perform next time a selective removal of the previous edit instead of reverting the whole thing. That would be fair. --Poco^2 16:37, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Elblag - part of Poland/ Lithuania/ Germany/ Prussia

It is true that Elblag was ruled by Old Preuss, Teutonic Order, Piastic Poland, the Poland/ Lithuanian Commonwealth and Lithuania: however, during this time prior to the 2nd World War Elblag (Elbing) was predominately linguistically and culturally German since 1245 AD. After the Reformation it was predominately Protestant. Elblag was never culturally Polish until after 1946. Why do you dispute these facts? You must allow edits that more clearly articulate the history of these cities that Poland now controls. The history is not disputed anymore by Polish, Lithuanian or Russian historians or tour guides in Elblag. There are many references in Wikipedia that support this history. I am concerned that you are letting an outdated nationalism interfere with fact. I look forward to your response. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Weldonrash (talk • contribs) 14:23, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Jadwiga for GA

The article seems well written, but I am not sure if I will have time to review it myself. But I'd suggest converting red links that have pl wiki articles to ILL template, like this. Cheers, --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:21, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Done :), all red links converted into either Hungarian or Polish wiki pages. Regards, Oliszydlowski, 20:03, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa

Dlaczego Pan cofnął moją korektę. Nazwa "Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa" została wprowadzona przez Konstytucję, która weszła w życie 22 lipca 1952. Do 21 lipca 1952 obowiązującą oficjalną nazwą państwa polskiego była "Rzeczpospolita Polska"

Zbitka "Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa" nigdy wcześcniej ani oficjalnie ani nieoficjalnie nie była uzywana. Nieoficjalnie dla celów wewnętrznych, głównie dla tekstów propagandowych do 21 lipca uzywana była nazwa "Polska Ludowa".

Również temat Konferencji Poczdamskiej, źrodła i pochodzenia polskiej propozycji granic zreferowanej Aliantom przez v Premiera Mikołajczyka i totalny brak jakichkolwiek relacji między tymi propozycjami a terenami odebranycmi Polsce 17 września 1939 powinien być w takim tekście uwzledniony - ale sprawa Poczdamu to chyba nie Pana działka

pozdrawiam
