Talk:Danzig Research Society

Can we please not use this page as a place to edit war over the name of the city in question? If edit wars continue, it will be protected, as any other page in unstoppable edit war. Pakaran . 21:01, 27 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Im am all for that, not having edit wars. Unfortunately a number of contributors make it their business to deliberately distort history, by changing names to what they were n o t. Therefore constant corrections are required in the name of accuracy.

That's fine - and I agree that you're in the right on this one, especially given the name of the society itself. May I suggest you create an account and log in so you get credit for your work? Pakaran . 21:08, 27 Feb 2004 (UTC)

External Links[edit]

Maps of Prussia for location in Prussia and various spellings of Danzig throughout several centuries.

This link is not related to the research society and was consequently removed. We cannot start a naming discussion for each bulding in Danzig/Gdansk that covers half of the article. 80.134.121.105 10:40, 28 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Double content and blind reverts[edit]

I have to point out that user Molobo, who was blocked for ignoring the 3RR and/or for using sock puppets, inserted double content into the article. After this mess was cleaned up, Tirid Tirid who is suspected of being a sock puppet, simply reverted to this double content article, claiming to "rm POV". I urge these users and their puppet masters to stop editing wikipedia, after they have shown their inability do to so properly. --Matthead 22:49, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On the other hand the current version of this article is full of weasel terms and dubious statements... Halibu tt 14:09, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sachsen Poland seems like a fancy way to refer to the fact that the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth had a personal union with Saxony. However, contrary to what this article states, the town belonged to Poland at that time and not to the monarch nor to his other domain, Saxony. Also, the statement of "German-speaking Central and Eastern Europe" seems highly dubious. Where is the "German-speaking Eastern Europe"? I'd reword that to something like "society was one of the oldest research societies in Central and Eastern Europe" simply. Halibu tt 14:14, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Finally, the mention of the post-WWII territorial arrangements seems completely irrelevant to this article. And even if it was, it should be portrayed neutrally. It was the Potsdam agreement that gave these areas back to Poland, not just Soviet Union. Halibu tt 14:17, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
