Talk:Anti-communist resistance in Poland (1944–1953)

Names of Polish towns
The names are simplified. Why?Xx236 (talk) 08:06, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Which names? Tymek (talk) 13:25, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Names of Polish towns - Biala, Bialystok.Xx236 (talk) 10:24, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I had to write Biala (or better Biala Krakowska), as the city of Bielsko-Biala was not created until 1951. Tymek (talk) 16:38, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

''Biała", not "Biala".Xx236 (talk) 09:49, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, that. I hate these things, I really do not think they are necessary here. I know Darwinek and Birutorul hate me for that, they always correct these little marks and dots. Tymek (talk) 21:29, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

not per wikipedia standards.
Please wikify the article. It looks like an essay. Also the list is too cumbersome to read. -- gp pande  «talk»  18:06, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Please help out, and make changes to the article if you do not like it as it is now. Tymek (talk) 18:58, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I am not quite familiar with the subject, give summary style - give some background why the attacks were made - was second polish republic on side of Russia or Germany during the time of attacks - it will build the KB for user who reads it. I will try to read more and find more info. -- gp pande  «talk»  19:06, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * It all is in the text, you can find answers why the attacks were made. The units targeted by the communist services were loyal to the government in exile in London, it all is wiki-linked. I know, a reader from Africa or Asia will not know much about it, this is obvious. But adding more and more information would completely deviate the article from the subject. All is wiki-linked to those who need to know more. BTW thank you for the tips and the interest in the article. Tymek (talk) 19:18, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Wiki-links are useful to know more on article that is linked. But just to understand the subject a one line description can help a total layman like me. I like the article. Will work on this. -- gp pande  «talk»  19:21, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Search in Google and the proposal

 * "Raids on communist prisons in Poland" -wiki (minus Wikipedia), with or without (1944–1946) dates, is a phrase used only by Wikipedia mirrors. Not a single book reference can be found in Google Books except for one "on-demand" publishing company with Wikipedia's content.
 * meanwhile
 * "Anti-communist resistance in Poland", is a well established phrase found in a number of books including Spy wars by Tennent H. Bagley which I cited, as well as the Political and social issues in Poland by Anna R. Dadlez, Polish Orphans of Tengeru by Lynne Taylor, Bill of rights in action by Constitutional Rights Foundation, Religion and politics by Ted G. Jelen and Clyde Wilcox, and several others.

I would like to rename this article accordingly per WP:TITLE, because the article is much broader in scope. The new and more appropriate title should read Anti-communist resistance in Poland (1944–1946). The new title would also match the already existing article called Polish resistance movement in World War II and the relevant category. — Stawiski (talk) 21:13, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Incorrect sentence
"In January 1945, the pro-Soviet government installed in Poland by the advancing Red Army formally disbanded the AK and invited its surviving members to come out into the open, guaranteeing them freedom and safety."

This is wrong on several levels. The Soviets never "formally disbanded" the AK as they had no authority to do so. The AK disbanded itself once the Germans were defeated. The second part of the sentence makes it sound like these guarantees were in any way credible.

Soviet colonization of Poland ?
Can anyone define what one has to understand by that, say, bold term ? (obviously not founded by any serious literature) Thx. --2001:A61:483:B001:4C8D:4491:25A0:A853 (talk) 23:36, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
