[edit] Suggestions for improvement

It is unlikely that this article will attract much traffic any time soon, however a number of things can be done to bring it up to some respectable level. Here are a couple of "to do" ideas in no particular order:

  • Pictures appropriate for historical contexts
  • General copyedit
  • Citations and a reference section
  • New articles created to eliminate the red links
  • Other...--Riurik (discuss) 03:54, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Militarymen"

"Militarymen" isn't really an English word, and I'm not sure which English word is intended. Were they soldiers (men who had been trained as part of a regular army), militiamen (a group of armed citizens, possibly without formal training or full military discipline), or paramilitaries (an irregular force, typically informally "sponsored" by a government or military, but usually without full acknowledgment of the connection)? - Jmabel | Talk 20:10, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 200,000

This is also very unclear: "the overwhelming Polish majority of an over 200,000 Lviv". Does this mean "Lviv's overwhelming Polish majority of over 200,000" or "the overwhelming Polish majority of Lviv, a city of over 200,000"? Or does it mean something else entirely? - Jmabel | Talk 20:14, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

The second. The city had a population of ~200,000 and Poles consituted a majority of them. This is a rephrased sentence from Subtelny (citaion is given) who does not mention numbers, just says that Poles where an overwhelming majority. We can of course do better by citing the numbers if we can find them. --Irpen 20:55, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
