Talk:Wołów

This page is affected by the Gdańsk (Danzig) Vote. The following rules apply in the case of disputes:

For Gdańsk, use the name Danzig between 1308 and 1945
For Gdańsk, use the name Gdańsk before 1308 and after 1945
In biographies of clearly German persons, the name should be used in the form Danzig (Gdańsk) and later Danzig exclusively
In biographies of clearly Polish persons, the name should be used in the form Gdańsk (Danzig) and later Gdańsk exclusively.
For Gdansk and other locations that share a history between Germany and Poland, the first reference of one name in an article should also include a reference to other names, e.g. Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland) or Gdańsk (Danzig). An English language reference that primarily uses this name should be provided on the talk page if a dispute arises.
Reverts to conform with community consensus are excluded from the three-revert rule (3RR). Only the place names can be reverted exempt from the 3RR according to the outcome of this vote, additional changes fall again under the 3RR. Please use descriptive edit summaries.
Persistent reverts against community consensus despite multiple warnings may be dealt with according to the rules in Wikipedia:Dealing with vandalism. In case of doubt, assume good faith and do not bite newcomers.

The detailed vote results and the vote itself can be found on Talk:Gdansk/Vote. This vote has ended; please do not vote anymore. Comments and discussions can be added to Talk:Gdansk/Vote/discussion anytime. This template {{Gdansk-Vote-Notice}} can be added on the talk page of affected articles if necessary.

It's fine to add more text to the article, but please don't remove existing cited text and references (or replace Polish references with German ones for no apparent reason). Radek

The removed reference wasn't very useful. I can't see a statement about 1157 here: http://books.google.com/books?id=aNYVAQAAIAAJ&q=wo%C5%82%C3%B3w+1157&dq=wo%C5%82%C3%B3w+1157&lr=lang_en&as_brr=0&hl=pl

That's why I added a different source, which clearly supports the fact and is much more in-depth.

The part about Polnischdorf and Polish names is WP:OR. A name from the Middle Ages and a single family doesn't prove anything.

And the English Wikipedia uses Vogt, not Wójt. Especially since Silesia back then wasn't part of Poland anymore but independent. Please also note that this page is affected by the Gdańsk vote. Karasek (talk) 09:41, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
