== Should partition-rulers be in the scope of our project? ==

I was looking at ], and I noticed a number of Russian tsars there. It appears that articles of Russian rulers of Congress Poland are tagged with WP:POLAND. I don't think this is helpful; they are topics of importance to Russia project, but not really to us. For the same reasons, Polish monarchs are not included in the scope of Ukraine, Belarus, Prussia or Silesia WikiProjects. And neither Napoleon nor Hitler are included within the scopes of most the countries they conquered. G

Articles affected:
* ]
* ]
* ]
* ]
* ]
* ]

For the record, ], ruler of Duchy of Warsaw, is not included in our project. Neither are Austro-Hungarian and Prussian rulers (Kings and Queens of Galicia and Lodomeria, and Grand Dukes of Posen, respectively).

Going further, if one was to argue that the period of partitions makes the partition rulers important for our project, why not the partition country governments, and all the myriad articles about their economies, culture, and so on? It's a slippery slope that I think should be fixed before it gets worse.

I'd be inclined to include Frederick Augustus within our scope, but remove all the Russian rulers. Thoughts? --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">]&#124;]</sub> 21:57, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

:I think it's a judgment call. Obviously Catherine had a very large impact on Polish history. But it's unlikely that our project members will be THAT interested in the article, or if they are interested in related article, it's unlikely they'll have trouble finding it. I can see tagging it within the project but rating it as "low importance". But removing them works too.

:I agree on Frederick.] 22:11, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

:Frederick Augustus belongs more that the others. ] (]) 03:55, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

:: Monarchs or similar authorities should belong to the Wikiproject associated with the ruling power, not its subject territories unless there was some unique personal connection. (So, for example, I might go over to Lord Mountbatten to see if he's part of Wikiproject India.)
:: A more direct answer is that IMO a partition of Poland ≠ Polska. ]<small> ►]</small> 02:48, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Just to cause a bit of trouble, take a look at ] (I recently redirected into it, and cleaned it up . What should the criteria for inclusion be there? Should the Waclaw's be included (IMO, Waclaw II for sure, Waclaw III maybe)? What about folks like Zbigniew (Krzywousty's brother)? Or Bezprym, this "Otto Bolesławowic" fellar, the famous "Boleslas the Forgotten" or ]? I'm going with the usual "Poczet Krolow i Ksiazat Polskich" on this one, but it's the same sort of question.] 04:03, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

: I'd include them all, under pretenders. Ideally, I'd also like to see all election candidates there, too. Now, they should have a smaller box/picture or such. I'd love to see this list improved with references, too!

== Dating problem==
Hello, it seems to me we have a major dating problem post 1900- on Polish articles.

Let's start from the beginning;
Congress Poland -
As of the English Misplaced Pages, ] lasted from 1815 to 1915.
As of the Polish Misplaced Pages, lasted from 1815 to 1918.
We need the correct dating fix.


== ] ==
Second Polish Republic -
as of the English Misplaced Pages, ] lasted from 1918 to 1939
As of the Polish Misplaced Pages, lasted from 1918 to 1945.
We have to consider the fact, Poland did not surrender during the Second World War, Poland fought till the end, therefore it is wrong to consider the dissolution of Poland in 1939.


I have proposed that this article be deleted. I was not sure which process to follow, ], or ]. Any comments would be welcome. Thanks, ] (]) 05:27, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
(Wrong Links - Second Polish Republic links to Nazi General Government (Polish-occupied lands) and Polish Government in exile, whereas the People's Republic of Poland flag-links preceding refers to Second Polish Republic)


== Dividing ] into two or three articles ==
People's Polish Republic
As of the English Misplaced Pages, ] lasted from 1944 to 1989
As of the Polish Misplaced Pages, the same years are presented.
The problem here is, the are absolutely no Polish Nation History links to this page. The preceeding, Second Polish Republic, only directs to Polish government in exile. (Third Republic of Poland does not have country-preceeding links).


Hi, I wrote more in detail about my proposal in the ], but in short, the name ] throughout history was used fir three different stations, one in the 1930s/1940s, one in 1940s–1990s, and current one built in 2021. As such, I want to propose to creating separate articles for them.] (]) 01:01, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
Third Polish Republic
As of the English Misplaced Pages, ] lasted from January 30, 1990 -
As of the Polish Misplaced Pages, lasted from 31 grudnia 1989.
The date shall be changed from the current January 30 to December 29th or 31st, as on 29th the 'Balcerowicz' plan came to effect, and the consitution renamed itself to 'Rzeczpospolita Polska'.


== Renaming the ] to Democratic Party (Poland) ==

Hi, I belive that the ] should be renamed to the "Democratic Party (Poland)". I think it would be a better translation of the name, and that current translation is wrong. Firstly, "alliance" means "sojusz", and not "stronictwo", which would be just "party". Word stronictwo, literally means 'a side of something', or 'a part of something', eg, a party. Futhermore, Polish title is in adjective form, so even "Democratic Alliance" would be more correct in this case. As such, "Alliance of Democrats" would rather be translation of "Sojusz Domokratów", than "Stronictwo Demokratyczne. What do you think? ] (]) 20:07, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
:Those cases may be looked into, but there is no need to seek absolute agreement between the Polish and English Wiki, or even among the different articles in the same language. Many issues can be looked at from different angles, depending on who is writing. Think of the ] of 1935. To some it was the only legally binding constitution until 1989/1990, to others it resulted from the ] and was therefore never legally binding. Different contributors will write different interpretations; errors and obvious impartialities need to be corrected of course. ] (]) 20:52, 14 March 2012 (UTC)


== Any people intrested in writing about WW2 in Warsaw, who would like to collaborate? ==
:A solution is to find sources to support start/end dates. As in "according to X, PRL begun on date A, and ended on date B".
