[edit] Anti-Polish bias and vandalism renders Wikipedia untrustworthy

Posted article in Talk, due to massiv Polish POV

Raynold Curicke (1610-1667), born in Danzig (Gdańsk), was a jurist and Danzig historian. He wrote a four-volume work: Der Stadt Danzig historische Beschreibung (Historical description of Danzig'), which was the first monography of todays Gdańsk.

As we discussed it many times before he was born in the polish city of GGdańsk 220 years before the city became part of Germany, so the German name is inappropriate and part of the anti-polish bias shared by some lower class Wikipedians. "Massive" is spelled with a silent "e" at the end, my anonymous German friend. Space Cadet 23:04, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Danzig Stadt Republik - City Republic

Danzig was Stadt Republik [2] (city republic), Danzig was in Prussia, was not Poland. Adding Poland in the article is incorrect.

Reinhold Curicke on Danzig [3]

A number of people keep adding Danzig, Poland, which is incorrect. Danzig was in Prussia, or Royal Prussia, Danzig was not in Poland. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.133.64.78 (talk) 04:40, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

• And Royal Prussia was a part of the Kingdom of Poland at the time that Curicke lived. Caerwine Caer’s whines 18:59, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Danzig was in Prussia, not in Poland

[edit] Importance of Hanseatic League to Danzig

Note that as late as 1919, the city residents preferred the name Freie Hansestadt Danzig for the new free city instead of Freie Stadt Danzig. Gdańsk still uses a flag and seal using the Hanseatic colors. A number of cities, though not Gdańsk, still honor the memory of the Hansa by including it in their official names. To suggest that the principal city of one of the four Hansa circles didn't attach importance to its then current membership, even though the league was in its dying throes, is ludicrous.

Further comment. I'm not opposed to giving the Polish suzerainty of the de facto free city of Poland a higher prominence than it currently has, but to leave the Hansa out of the first mention of the city doesn't seem appropriate, especially in an article for someone who is mainly notable for chronicling the history of the city at a point near the end of its Hanseatic era.
