Question about the source to make some changes in an article
Hello, I would like to ask if http://biznes.pap.pl/ is a reliable source to make changes in an article? Izefoa (talk) 15:43, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Izefoa: It comes from the national Polish Press Agency, meaning reasonably reliable as publisher. Still, the author and the article may have problems. Especially keeping in mind, with recent conservative government, it may have a right-wing bias, so the statements you want to use may be contestable. What is the article?

Gay Chopin?
Please see discussions at "Talk:Frédéric Chopin", "Talk:Tytus Woyciechowski", and "Talk:Waltzes, Op. 70 (Chopin)" about whether, as alleged in a Swiss TV program and in a related Guardian article, the 19-year-old Chopin may have been homosexual, as allegedly indicated by his correspondence with his friend Tytus Woyciechowski.

Wrocław
I'd like to ask someone's help with reviewing Wrocław. I believe it is B class now --Andrei (talk) 08:44, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

- I am absolutely unaware of all the project rules, but the template states that only "Coverage and accuracy: criterion not met". Its been like that for more than a year, and seems to be outdated? --88.156.139.244 (talk) 22:49, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Andrew J.Kurbiko: - It is. Moreover, I believe that some sections are missing citations and sources. Oliszydlowski (talk) 01:56, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

- Andrew J.Kurbiko, I concur with what was said here, this is not B-class due to numerous unreferenced paragraphs. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:53, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Please help improve Poland
I've just downgraded this article down to C-class due to a lot of content being unreferenced. Now, it can be improved to B or GA without much need to write content - just verify and reference stuff. Please consider helping! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:53, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
Podlachian microlanguage
Hello. In my sandbox User:Akaberepl/sandbox I have prepared some additional information concerning Podlachian language.My intention is to enrich the existing article 'Podlachian microlanguage' with more details. Could you kindly review it and tell me if the edit is acceptable to be promoted to the above article. This is my very first edit for English wikipedia. I have made just two articles in Polish wikipedia: 'Jan Maksymiuk' and 'Mikrojezyk podlaski' which is a Polish version of 'Podlachian microlanguage' (being a subject of discussion now). Regards Akaberepl (talk) 20:32, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
- Akaberepl, Your expansion is helpful but please make sure all content you add is referenced to reliable sources. I see some unreferenced content in your sandbox. Each paragraph should have a reference. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:27, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Administrative changes in Poland in 2021
Good day, fellow Project colleagues. I am here with some news on the administrative changes in Poland, set to be effective on 1 January 2021. The changes are moreless in the spirit of what's happening nearly every year on 1 January. It is a bit longer, sorry for that.
Some of the changes in a nutshell:
- Probably the most prominent change is the renaming of Jelenia Góra County to Karkonosze County.
- The article will have to be moved, as well as the corresponding templates. Links and all mentions to Jelenia Góra County should be revised to Karkonosze County throughout hundreds of articles. The latter sounds like a job for a bot.
- Ten (10) villages will be elevated to town status - Kamieniec Ząbkowicki, Goraj, Kamionka, Sochocin, Wiskitki, Solec nad Wisłą, Dubiecko, Wodzisław, Budzyń and Koźminek. This will bring the total number of towns in Poland to 954.
- All the articles mentioned above should be edited to reflect the fact. Changes will have to be made also to related templates and articles.
- We should make sure that the subcategories of the Category:Cities and towns in Poland contains 954 articles per above.
- Gmina Sitkówka-Nowiny will be renamed to Gmina Nowiny.
- The article will have to be moved, as well as the corresponding templates. All links and mentions should be revised to Gmina Nowiny.
- Gmina Bodzanów will change its administrative seat to Chodkowo.
- The gmina article and template should be revised, as well as the articles of Bodzanów and Chodkowo.
- Pogwizdów Nowy will cease to be an independent village, and will be incorporated to Rzeszów.
- The article should be deleted from the relevant gmina article and template. It should be also edited to reflect the change.
- Styków will cease to be an independent village, and will be incorporated to Głogów Małopolski.
- The article should be deleted from the relevant gmina article and template. It should be also edited to reflect the change.
Sources:
- A neat summary from Rzeczpospolita is here.
- The relevant laws are (PDFs in the links):
As you can see, it's quite a lot of work. I will try to work on that in January piece by piece. Is anyone interested to help out with this mini-project?
Thank you and Wszystkiego Dobrego w Nowym Roku! - Darwinek (talk) 01:46, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
Jolanta Fedak
Hi there, the biography on Jolanta Fedak has been nominated to appear on the main page of English WP in the "recent deaths" section, however it would benefit from some more expansion. If anyone here is able to look over the Polish-language sources and add any additional detail to the article, that would be appreciated! Thanks and Happy New Year!

Problematic editing at Law and Justice article
Small Bayonet is making many changes there that do not correspond to reliable sources, as I noted on User_talk:Small_Bayonet; they are removing the characterization as nationalist based on their own WP:OR despite the fact that many sources describe the party this way, and inserting a left-wing characterization that is not supported by most sources. (t · c) buidhe 10:43, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
- what? I gave many, many sources that confirm the fact, that economically PiS is centro-leftist. It's obvious fact. They are socially right wing, but economically - centre-left. Also - PiS isn't nationalist, party itself has shown its antinationalist nature, Kaczyński founded his party AGAINST NATIONALISTS. Also, most of the proffessional sources doesn't admit, that PiS is nationalist, I do not care about Guardian or Washington Post, beacause authors have clearly no knowledge about it, and are calling PiS nationalist only beacause they have SOME POLICIES nationalist. They are not nationalist as a whole, the nationalist element split from the party in 2012, forming Solidarna Polska. The party itself is a succesor of Sanacja. https://www.dlapolski.pl/dlaczego-pis-nienawidzi-narodowcow, https://kulturaliberalna.pl/2018/11/12/sawczuk-marsz-niepodleglosci-pis-komentarz/. Party is associated with sionist organizations and supports integration within NATO. Most of the PROFFESSIONAL sources say, that even though PiS have some nationalist policies, it isn't nationalist as a whole. Small Bayonet 12:11, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
