Expantion

I think this should include the History of the Jews in Poland and, when we finally finish it, the History of Polish economy, History of Polish culture and similar projects. Also, we may want to consider a kind of see also to Template:Polish statehood. What do you think? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 13:50, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I think it's a good idea to add culture to the topical section of the template. There is no History of Polish culture yet, but Polish culture might work.

Format

I came across this template at the top of History of Poland (1945-1989) when I saw its nomination at featured article candidates. I reformatted it; it is now similar to the American history timeline template. Phoenix2 01:31, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Template

Piotrus, I would also have liked to have the Piast Dynasty in the template, but the article also talks about the period of the Andegawens, which is why I simply called it "Early History". Perhaps we can change it back.

Are you the person who redesigned the template few minutes ago? Welcome to Wiki, and please consider registering so it is easy to identify who is talking (and doing the edits). I like the new colors, but as I wrote below - I am not sure if increase in size is good. It was slim, now it is bigger - nor that it is worse, perhaps I need to get used to it. Hopefully we will hear input from some others soon. Once again, welcome to Wiki. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 21:43, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
Yes, that was me. I'll try to register when I get the chance. What do you say about changing the Piast entry back to "Early History"? Also, I had considered naming one of the entries "Partitions" (the way it is now), but I think "Loss of Statehood" sounds a little more formal, and therefore perhaps more appropriate?
Registering is very easy - just click in the link top right corner. The Andagewans are a real wrench in the works of properly naming this period, I know. I guess you could revert it back to Early history. I think Partitions are ok - let's wait and hear from more ppl on this, though. I won't object much to either version. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 22:41, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
I wonder--does Pawel Jasienica include the Andegawens in his "Polska Piastow" or in "Polska Jagiellonow"? If it's the latter (I think I remember seeing Queen Jadwiga on its cover), then we would be slightly out of sync with him (this is less of an issue for this template than for the way the articles divide up Polish history). Does anyone have an opinion on this?

Anon vesion

I am not sure whether we want to keep it. Colors are nicer (red-white), but it's bigger and partially redundant with Template:Polish statehood. Below is the pre-anon template. If you decide to revert to it, copy the anon template here for further discussion. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 21:41, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

edit

Hi, I didn't realize there was another template. I think they're different enough to warrant keeping this one. I don't think the size detracts at all. I got the idea for it from Template:French_Revolution, which is pretty nice. I'd also like to make it so that the entry in the template turns bold when you click on the article, but I'm not yet familiar enough with wiki syntax.
I must say that the current pink one doesn't look too good to me. Perhaps it is eye-catching, but why pink? And why so big? Halibutt 17:24, July 16, 2005 (UTC)
