In the article's final paragraph, what is a "paroch"? What language is that taken from? logologist|Talk 08:00, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Polish POV
Yet another fine example of Polish POV on english Wikipedia. Watch it!-- Matthead discuß! O 22:11, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- I agree. This article is pure POV. I recommend it tagged. 141.13.8.14 13:37, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

- Sure, one could critise much more, but it's not worth the effort to do a complete analysis. So I comment only on one paragraph, where POV is most obviuos:
-
-
-
- "In it he drew the thesis that pagan and Christian nations could coexist in peace and criticized the Teutonic Order for its wars of conquest and its brutal extermination of native non-Christian peoples in Prussia and Lithuania."

-
- Huh? Criticising the Teutonic Order for its wars of conquest? The Order was called to Prussia to conquer Prussia - by Poland. The Order acted in the name of the Pope, the Pope was its offcial head. The war of the Teutonic Orders were Crusades. So how come a clergyman from Poland was criticising the Teutonic Order? Quite simply: Poland had allied itself with pagan Lithuania to make war against the Teutonic order (resulting in the defeat of the Teutonic Oredr in 1410). Therefore Poland had a problem with the Pope which needed some explanation. So Paweł Włodkowic went on a smear campaign against the Teutonic Order (please compare with the fate of the Templar Knights).

- Extermintion of native peoples in Prussia? This claim pops up ever and ever again. It's been proved to be wrong long ago: If the Teutonic Knights had exterminated the native population, the population of Prussia would have been much lower as immigration was pretty low. Or more simply: Look at pictures of Germans from East Prussia pre-1945: Their facial features have more in common with people from the Baltics than with other people from the rest of Germany. 141.13.8.14 08:24, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
