[edit] Origin

The article was split from Armia Krajowa, per recommendations of Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Peer review/Armia Krajowa. Please see Talk:Armia Krajowa for discussions prior to the split, which resulted in the section being tagged with 'POV' tag several times.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  16:17, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV tags deletion by Lysy and Piotrus

Do not delete tags concerns raised in other articles are valid here as noted above. M.K. 22:12, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Please elabore here why this article is supposedly POVed, not in other articles.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  22:24, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] conflicts over the Vilnius region and Suvalkai region, areas whose population was mostly a mixture of Poles and Lithuanians

The Vilnius region wasn't a mixture of Poles and Lithuanians. Unbelievable ignorance.Xx236 16:13, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Based on Ethnic history of the region of Vilnius, Belarusians and Jews were the major minorities, Lithuanians were indeed few and far in between (even Russian and German censuses give them less than 20%, and Polish around 5%).-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  16:19, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

After exterminations and expulsions Poles still consist a majority in certain areas. I'm not happy with this, but it exists and existed during WWII.Xx236 16:30, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suvalkai region

The Suvalkai region doesn't inform about the ethnic proportions. Xx236 16:34, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Please comment on that article on its talkpage. It is unreferenced and possibly OR - may warrant AfD or merger, I think.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  16:37, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lithuanian historiography

Please see here for a translation of relevant part of an academic article from 2004, by Alvydas Nikzentaitis, director of Lithuanian Institute of History, discussing some biases Lithuanian historigrophay had (has?) regarding the issue of Polish-Lithuanian relations during WWII. Original article: Lithuanian, German.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  22:10, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A More Important Question

A day or so ago I began an attempt to copy-edit this "joke of an Encyclopedia article". Am I mistaken, or is this one of the worst examples on English Wikipedia of childish POV pushing from the various editors involved? Dr. Dan (talk) 03:25, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Historic picture

With recent attempts to remove certain historic picture under variuos suggestions [1] [2] (reassembles same pattern as here), I have to note that hardly historical images can be removed under minor edit mark as well under argument that it is not clear. Many historical images are not HQ. In other hand if contributors agrees we can move current image to Dubingiai massacre (as it presents crime scene) and the picture from Dubingiai massacre, this one, here. M.K. (talk) 13:47, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

The other picture - also uploaded by you - is higher quality and more relevant. I see no reason we should use the bad quality photo - and keep the non-free one under fair use - when we have a better one.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 16:20, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
