I removed the sentence "After World War II German population was expelled". Before 1945 the German population in Brandýs nad Labem-Stará Boleslav was quite negligible. This town was neither part of Sudetenland, nor any German linguistic island. Yes, there were some Germans as they were in every Bohemian or Moravian town (similarly, there were some Czechs in every town of Sudetenland). So we would either write that "The German population was expelled after World War II" in every article about Bohemian or Moravian town or we should write it only in article about town which at least possess significant German minority (if not German majority). Brandýs nad Labem-Stará Boleslav was definitely not a town with significant German minority. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.178.145.73 (talk) 21:25, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"In 2003, the St Wenceslas National Pilgrimage to Stará Boleslav was renewed and is now the largest official celebration of St Wenceslas Day (Czech Statehood Day, September 28). On this occasion Pope Benedict XVI visited the St Wenceslas basilica and held mass for over 50,000 people who had gathered in Stará Boleslav."

How is this possible, as Benedict XVI was elected in 2005? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.200.14.211 (talk) 12:41, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
