[edit] Split
This article will soon be expanded and/or splitted into several subarticles. See Wikipedia:WikiProject History of Poland/Periodization. Most likely it will be the history article, and a new state article will be at Kingdom of Poland (Piasts). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 23:37, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Conversion to Christendom?
Converting to Christendom? Isn't it just Christianity? Thanks. I guess Poland could be said to have joined Christendom. - Slava 05:43, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] More neutral language needed
While reading this article I sometimes thought that a more neutral language would be more appropriate. Poland is certainly a country that has suffered much in history but other nations have done so, too. Sometimes the language is too tendentious, e.g. "the German element, backed by their government, became aggressive and sought to dominate the country", or "deeply rooted antagonism toward Russia as the representative of an essentially alien way of life".
Such statements as "This is eloquent testimony of the great assimilative powers of the people and of the state building capabilities of the Poles." are simply not adequate for a neutral historic article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.123.100.41 (talk • contribs) 13:41, 16 April 2006 (UTC).
- Agreed. Thank you for the comments. Feel free to create an account and help us move toward Wikipedia:Neutral point of view.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 15:15, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

- Did a bit of edits just now, some of it may be because the author wasn't an native English speaker and some subtleties were lost. I'm still confused about the "technically king" part. Krupo 07:41, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] what does this mean?
The provincial rulers of the Holy Roman Emperors, especially the Saxons, pursued policies of expansion to the East which were known as Drang nach Osten. The Slavic neighbors of Poland Sorbs and Polabians were the first target. In order to defeat Slavs, they sought allies further to the East. Therefore Poland in alliance to the Holy Roman Empire had time to prepare for the upcoming struggle against other Germanic invaders.
what does that last sentence mean? it is confusing
