"... most of whom were Poles, Germans, Ukrainians, and Jews." Most of them were Germans, see the BBC site. The senetnce must be " ... most of whom were Germans, Poles, Ukrainians, and Jews." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.246.2.105 (talk) 16:45, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done The BBC source does not specify numbers per country per nationality, only gross numbers for Eastern Europe. Any order will be correct. — kashmiri TALK 12:45, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Borders "shifted westwards"

That is all that's said in this article about the forceful and wholly illegal take-over of German territory in Eastern and Western Prussia as well of Silesia by Poland at the end of WWII as result of the Russian conquest and on the behest of the Potsdam Agreement Powers. The very important territorial take-over that changed the outlook of Poland completely - not to speak about the outlook of Germany - is for very obvious reasons just simply not mentioned. - No word, no picture, no map. Wow! A remarkable feast of bend and twist and falsification of history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.123.87.90 (talk) 21:04, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

People like to avoid uncomfortable topics. On the bright side, there is an article about it. --Samotny Wędrowiec (talk) 23:43, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The word "largest" is misspelled in the economy section of this page. It is written "largets." Please change "largets" to "largest."

Tourism section

Ok, the way I see it, there is no room to jam more pictures in the Tourism section, as User:Zugspitze2962 keeps doing. But ok, if the user is so bent on adding the aquarium image (as the most visited attraction in Sląsk), then the only way I can see it, is that the image of the Table Mountains is changed out. But, sure as heck we should not be removing Zamość or Malbork, for an aquarium. And, add a smart statement in the section about Wrocław and this aquarium. --E-960 (talk) 20:08, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Zoo Wroclaw is the most frequently visited attraction in Poland! Not only in Lower Silesia. Much more than a castle in Malbork.

So how is the most reasonable to add this photo. Photo Malbork Castle is the beginning of List of castles in Poland, to which the link is in the tourism department. Zugspitze2962 (talk) 20:52, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

At this point, I see that User:Zugspitze2962 despite effort to open up a forum to discuss and to perhaps accommodate some of his suggestion, keeps on edit warring, and disregarding reverts by several users. So, we should treat this a disruptive editing and close this thread. --E-960 (talk) 06:42, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccurate Statements About Gender Equality

This page makes a number of inaccurate statements about women's rights in Poland, historically and today. The authorities cited don't support the statements made on this.

Here are some other authorities.

www.wikigender.org/countries/europe-and-central-asia/gender-equality-in-poland/

pl.boell.org/en/2014/07/22/gender-equality-poland-after-eu-accession-expectations-and-reality — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.128.35.18 (talk) 23:03, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Poland had more economic rights than in Western Europe according to the Napoleonic Code. Polish men were frequently at war or imprisoned, so the women had to act.
Is wikigender.org neutral and reliable or gender?Xx236 (talk) 07:46, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Polish 1st Army

Polish 1st Army distinguished itself in the battles for Warsaw and Berlin - Battle of Kolberg (1945) too.

Fascist Poland
