Thanks for that. Italy is nowhere near Wallachia, but applying the w/g rule gives Gallachia, suggesting that the Poles (as Slavs) saw Italy as part of the Latin or Gallic world, related to the French (although the French use "Galles" to refer to Celts, not Latins). I suppose that makes sense. I still can't find out why the Czechs call Austria "Rakousko". ] (]) 05:23, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
: Well, there is a castle on the historical borders of Austria and Czech lands, it is nowadays named ]. However, it was called back then ''Ratgoz'' and Bohemian merchants screwed up its name to ''Rakús'' or ''Rakous'', and here we go, then they named after it surrounding lands and later on whole land. - ] (]) 08:16, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Lately I was busy moving some of the images from ] to Commons.

== Polish witch trials ==

Hello! I'm interested in witch trials, and think that every country should be represented in the subject. As for Poland, it's hard to find anything about this on the net. If there is anyone here interested in the subject, I think it would be most interesting to have a Polish with trial represented here on wikipedia. Most countrys are alredy represented. I have heard about only two cases; two old women burned in 1793, and Barbara Zdunk, executed in 1811. These where mentioned on the net with very few words. Does anyone here know more about these cases? or any other? I would be grateful just for a stub or a name to google. --] (]) 11:28, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello,

In recent days I've made a new template on polish Misplaced Pages for linking to articles published by culture.pl service (]).

== Russia fought the Battle of Grunwald... ==

User Irpen claims Russia fought at the Battle of Grunwald. Last time I heard this was during Soviet occupation and I recall it was widely fabricated myth by Soviet propaganda. Can anybody look into this. Misplaced Pages should be free from Soviet propaganda in my personal view. Although it can mentioned how Soviet histography tried to present Russians as leading the battle.
--] (]) 00:22, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
:Molobo, you should really read books on the subject rather than try to recruit users to help you "outrevert". On a side note, that such frequent use of this board is still being tolerated does not contribute to the improvement of the editing climate here but this is up to its main participants, I guess. --] 00:55, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
:Irpen, you shouldn't consider every request for improvement of an article to be 'outreverting'. Please have good faith and relax from Misplaced Pages if it stresses you. I am asking fellow editors to fill out the article for vital information about Soviet propaganda. With so many great minds here interested in Soviet occupation of Poland I won't be surprised if many sources will be presented ! Best regards to you Irpen.
--] (]) 01:01, 7 June 2008 (UTC)


== ] ==
Well, I was amazed by this being a surprise and thought for a moment that verifying of this info indeed requires a visit to the library for some out of print book or something. But apparently, the most recent book specifically devoted to the subject (by ], "Tannenberg 1410: Disaster for the Teutonic Knights", ISBN 9781841765617, published by Osprey) says right on its cover:
:''"In June 1410 King Wladislaw Jagiello of Poland invaded the Order’s territory with a powerful allied army including all the enemies of the Teutonic Knights – Poles, Lithuanians, Russians, Bohemians, Hungarians, Tartars and Cossacks."''
So much of Soviet propaganda, HTH, --] 01:05, 7 June 2008 (UTC)


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)
A usual Western generalisation towards Ruthanians under Lithuanian vassalisation. Anyway care to explain why the text where nothing is about Novgorod was used by you to source claim that Novgorod took place in the battle ? I see nothing of the sorts in the text provided. As to Ruthanians-no doubt some were in Polish-Lithuanian army just like Hungarians and Bohemians-yet we do not name Czech Republic or Hungary as part of the battle.--] (]) 01:11, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
:Molobo, you are in no position to argue with Turnbull. But I will add a quote of another Soviet propagandist, ''Johann von Posilge'' who in 1418(!) wrote about the gathering of ''"Tartars, Russians, Lithuanians and Samogitians against Christendom"'' by Jogaila. '''H'''ope '''t'''his '''h'''elps. --] 01:19, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
::You are using a source from 1418 ? It's even worse then your usage of XIX century sources from Imperial Russia, i'm afraid. Of course the sources claims are complete false since Jagiełło was Catholic ruler of Catholic country. And of course I doubt dear Johann wrote in English.--] (]) 01:21, 7 June 2008 (UTC)


== Dividing ] into two or three articles ==
::No Molobo, I am quoting the Chronicler ''through'' the modern source given above. Turnbull quotes Posilge, I simply reproduced the quote from Turnbull's book. Speaking of Novgorod, the Turnbull specifically noted the Lithuanian-Pskov-Novgorod alliance. --] 01:28, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
:::So you are using secondery source and showing it as primary ? Sorry but that doesn't seem very honest thing to do. Also outdated middle ages documents shouldn't be presented as source of undisputable facts. As to claim Grunwald was won by Pskov-Novgorod alliance, that is indeed very interesting Irpen, although my history teacher in the 80s also read similar passages from soviet-dictated history books. Of course laughing together with the class(shows how weak the Soviet stronghold was in reality in occupied countries btw).--] (]) 01:33, 7 June 2008 (UTC)


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)
Molobo, I did not quote the source (chronicle) in the article. When I do, I always note the intermediate source, if there is any, in the references section. This was a talk page discussion. I gave the name of the secondary source, a book, above. You now argue with Posilge? Good luck. Now, I am happy to hear about your teachers. Unfortunately, to this date you refused to name books you read on the subject. I asked you before and received no answer. Anyway, this is a moot point. Removal of sourced info, spinning it in various ways and trying to recruit editors for the edit war is what concerns me most in your actions. --] 01:37, 7 June 2008 (UTC)


== Renaming the ] to Democratic Party (Poland) ==
Removing false information, removing sources that say nothing about what they should source and asking fellow editors to improve the article is nothing to be concerned about. Using documents from 1418 as base for Misplaced Pages articles is of course something to worry about, as is usage of XIX century history books published in Imperial Russia as source for Misplaced Pages articles.--] (]) 01:41, 7 June 2008 (UTC)


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)
:For crying out loud, Molobo. 1418 source was not used as "base for WP articles." It was not added to the article. I quoted it on the talk to demonstrate you the sensibility of your claim about Soviet propaganda (Soviet took the time machine and wrote a Prussian Chronicle.) More, I quoted a book (a modern one) published by the most respectable publisher. More, the book sources exactly what it is used to reference. --] 01:47, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Dividing Warszawa Główna railway station into two or three articles

Hi, I wrote more in detail about my proposal in the article talk page, but in short, the name Warszawa Główna railway station throughout history was used fir three different stations, one in the 1930s/1940s, one in 1940s–1990s, and current one built in 2021.
