[edit] Old talk

I can't even begin to think about how this article could be made NPOV. Even the title is inflammatory. The whole situation should be discussed in another article, but don't ask me which one. DJ Clayworth 18:51, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I shan't even start on the outrageous errors of fact. First country occupied? Does Czechoslovakia ring any bells? Morwen 19:03, Mar 23, 2004 (UTC)


The only reason I haven't rewritten this is that it should really be deleted. The information exists in other articles (User:Cautious copied it to several places, and was only prevented from copying it more times because some Polish history pages are protected). On reflection though I think the easiest way is to make this a redirect to History of Poland (1939-1945) and then get the redirect deleted. Comments? DJ Clayworth 19:41, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)


This is all very nice, but really, when we have an NPOV version, it should be merged into the main article. DJ Clayworth 22:10, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)

And User:Cautious should be told he will be banned if he goes on creating spurious and blatantly propagandistic articles. Adam 22:10, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I'm becoming convinced that this article subject is important enough for its own article, now it has a neutral title. DJ Clayworth 22:16, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)

But not if Cautious is going to write it. It will just become another Polish nationalist battlefield. Adam 22:47, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I told you (votes for deletion) that I'm reworking this artcle to contain info on the whole "betrayal phenomenon" and to explain how the whole idea evolved snce 1939. So far it's far from being ready, but you can see an early sketch at User:Halibutt/Western betrayal. Feel free to add comments to the User talk:Halibutt/Western betrayal, but note that I will mercilesly delete all comments close to "this all sucks/is POV/propaganda/whatever". Please be contructive.Halibutt 23:23, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I will mercilessly revert any attempt to mercilessly delete people's legitimate comments. Adam 04:45, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] On VfD page

This page is now up as a procedural listing (seemed to be orphaned vfd request): Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Revision of borders of Poland (1945). Samaritan 22:35, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

Shouldn't it be merged with Oder-Neisse line? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 18:33, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps not merged but integrated. Perhaps a navigational template with links to Oder-Neisse line and Curzon Line would be in place? Halibutt 21:24, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
