[edit] Old discussion

I don't understand why it is supposed to be deleted. It is the main event in history of Poland, between 966 and 1138.

Well, it's a little cryptic to people who are not familiar with Polish history -- the article needs quite a bit of expansion, for example, to explain

where is the tomb of Saint Adalbert?
why did those monarchs meet there?
what did they discuss? (if they discussed anything, for all we know they could have had a fight!)
what was the outcome of the meeting?

Thanks for expanding the article. While I was tidying the English phrasing of the article, I removed:

i.e. Bohemia, that did get only bishopri, become one of its countries

because it's not quite clear what is meant by this (bishopri is not a word in English - perhaps you mean bishopric, a separate bishop?).

I don't like sentence "it became separate from Magdeburg province" since Poland was not under Magdeburg, ever. It was earlier missionary bishopric... Szopen

[edit] Title

The title of the article is awkward. Is there a better historical name for the meeting, such as Congress of Gniezno (which I've seen somewhere), to which we can move the article? I see that Meeting in Gniezno is a redirect, but it's not much better. Appleseed 22:23, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

There is common title in Polish "Zjazd Gnieznienski" but I had not seen any reference in English. Szopen 12:35, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
