[edit] Stub

Well, it's at stub status now at least. I rendered some of the Polish names into their more traditional Anglo-American English equivalents. The translations and pictures on the Polish Army website were my only guide, since I know almost zero Polish! --Jpbrenna 23:59, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Move

I think it should be moved to Polish Land Forces. It would be more correct in English, I think. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 18:09, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

No objections here - unless - is there an official translation?--Jpbrenna 00:39, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Move away then. --Jpbrenna 1 July 2005 05:56 (UTC)

[edit] Troop Strength

the article states: 118,000+ 50,000 makes 168,000 So, which on of these three numbers is wrong in the article??? noclador 11:56, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:PZA Loara.jpg

Image:PZA Loara.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 00:22, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Graphic of the Structure

I created and added today a graphic of the structure of the Polish Land Forces, but there are some Brigades about which I could not find any information! If someone has information about the missing units, please tell me and I will update the graphic immediately. thanks, --noclador 16:51, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Can you help? thanks, --noclador 16:59, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
10 Brygada Kawalerii Pancernej Y Done
Judging from this link, the brigade has:
* Tank Battalions 1 & 2
* Mechanised Dragoons Battalion 10
* Command Battalion
* Self-propelled Artillery Battalion (Or so. I know Russians call an artillery battalion "divizion" - not to confuse with "diviziya", which is Division. Maybe the Poles do the same?)
* Air Defence Battalion (same as above)
* Reconnaissance Company
* Sappeurs/Combat Engineers Company
* Supply company
* Maintenance Company
* Medical Company
