[edit] Old talk
Sorry, I confused censuses of provinces with censuses of cities. Mikkalai 21:19, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Wasn't this term also used in some form during the times of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 20:21, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I think this should be moved to Kresy Wschodnie and Kresy should be a disambig, now that we have the Kresy Zachodnie article as well.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 16:44, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Requested move
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
Kresy → Eastern Borderlands – I believe this should be moved to Eastern Borderlands as per the naming conventions (use English). --Tweenk 23:32, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Survey - in support of the move
[edit] Survey - in opposition to the move
- oppose, as the proposal stands. While it may be an accurate english translation, the nominated target is neither unambiguous or all that informative. Quite likely, this historical region is not well-enough known (in english) for 'Eastern Borderlands' (on its own, at least) to be synonymous with it. The few english-language sources I've reviewed are quite comfortable calling this Kresy or Kresy Wschodnie. If anything, I think the option put forward by Piotrus above —move this article instead to Kresy Wschodnie and make Kresy a dab page— makes reasonable sense.--cjllw ʘ TALK 13:05, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it be moved. --Stemonitis 06:32, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Russian Rule
I have changed "In August 1939 the Eastern borderlands unlike the rest of Poland were under Russian rule and not German." to "In late September 1939 the Eastern borderlands unlike the rest of Poland were under Russian rule and not German." as in August 1939 Poland was still at peace. Please change back but put reason if I have misunderstood.
Further should it not say Soviet rather than Russian? Plan to change later in week unless someone comments why Russia is correct. --Jniech
[edit] Kresy defined in the intro
I edited the page to add the word 'Kresy' to the first line, to make it clear to uninformed readers what this article has to do with its title. A better solution would be to simply move the article to 'Eastern Borderlands' as suggested above. Terraxos 17:00, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
