Length? wp:far?[edit]

@Piotrus: Readable prose size seems to be 113. I haven't looked deeply enough yet to identify other issues... WP:FAR ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 05:03, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the ping, do send another one if you ID more issues. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:05, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Now that we have this big ugly banner sitting on top of the page, I think we need to address the issue of article size. @Piotrus: I don't particularly agree with a lot of what's written in Wikipedia:Article size as it's a curious mixture of out-of-date concerns based on technology from 10 years ago and statements of questionable origin. But, this article has ballooned in size since it was last reviewed and almost certainly needs to be pared down or split based on our current guidance. --Laser brain (talk) 14:22, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Laser_brain, I remember hearing another editor opine that WP:PROSESIZE is outdated and has lost most of whatever value it ever had. If you feel this is true, gather like-minded editors and go update it. I dislike RfC's, but you may need one. But as for this article, the fact that its size has ballooned sine promotion is a valid reason to go over it. ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 21:24, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bias[edit]

The amount of non-neutrality in the article is amazing, especially compared to history pages of countries with similar socioeconomic models. Usage of words obviously show the political intentions of editor. I think it needs to be seriously fixed for keeping neutrality.--Comrade-yutyo (talk) 08:25, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please imposing (Use dmy dates) in the article because articles that written about history of Poland use DMY date format, not custom American English date format. @El C: Please impose that. 110.137.122.52 (talk) 20:31, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In the second to last paragraph of the "political transformation" section, it says: "He distanced himself from Wojciech Jaruzelski by accepted the prewar presidential insignia from President-in-Exile Ryszard Kaczorowski, who was stepping down."

It should say "by accepting" instead of "by accepted", so the full sentence should read: "He distanced himself from Wojciech Jaruzelski by accepting the prewar presidential insignia from President-in-Exile Ryszard Kaczorowski, who was stepping down." XP6287 (talk) 20:27, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request move: History of Poland (1989-present) to Third Polish Republic and so on[edit]

See:

Similarily, articles History of Poland (1918-1939), History of Poland (1939-1945), History of Poland (1945-1989) etc. should be moved into articles named: Poland in the Interwar period, Poland in WW2, Poland in the Cold War etc. or perhaps one big "Poland in the 20th century" article should be created along with one for the Third Polish Republic, describing the current regime, how it formed etc. See: France in the 20th century
