The title "Jewish community of Danzig" is clearly in violation of the Gdansk/Danzig vote. I noted that Herkus artificially restricted the article scope for the period 1308 to 1945 - in which case Danzig would apply - but there's no reason what so ever why this should be the extent of the article. I've expanded the information on both pre 1308 community and post 1945 community. Hence the article very clearly belongs under "Jewish community of Gdańsk"; this should NOT be a controversial move and in fact the very purpose of the Gdansk/Vote is to quickly settle such disputes without move warring. So I'm moving it back to Jewish community of Gdańsk as there appears to be no reason (and none has been given) for making an exception to the vote in this case.radek (talk) 17:30, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
I've moved the article back and I am going to restore changes to make it Gdansk/Danzig vote compliant. Please do not move the article again without providing a really really really good reason for why an exception should be made in this case. Repeated violations of the Gdansk/Danzig vote are a sanction-able offense.radek (talk) 17:45, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
The scope of the article was supposed to be the history of the pre-war community as desribed by the Jewish Museum (New York) in its exhibition "Danzig 1939: treasures of a destroyed community" . The article ended with WWII because the traditional community ceased to exist due to the emigration of 1939/40 and the Holocaust. Their history was described and I think it's justified to create an article about that period instead of an "artificial" expansion with the purpose to bypass the extinction of a complete culture.HerkusMonte (talk) 19:40, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
The article is about the Jewish community in the city. There's no reason to restrict it artificially to only those periods of history during which the Gdansk/Danzig vote implies the naming "Danzig". The article already had information on the community well before the interwar period. There's no reason why the entire history of the community, as well as it's present day status cannot be described in this article - it's not like it's too long or something - especially since that kind of information is well within the scope of the article's title.radek (talk) 20:58, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
I came here because someone had been moving around islands and provinces. I thought moving Province of Saxony to Saxony Province was about the stupidest thing possible, but then I saw this! I would be rolling on the floor laughing if only the subject was not this serious. While there could be some arguments for German community of Gdańsk, this must be about as clear cut in favor for Danzig as any affected by the Gdansk/Danzig vote. You have not provided a single source that the community predates 1308, nor that any "community" – apart from the 22 Christianized individuals – exited past 1945. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 09:26, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
