Talk:Paweł Strzelecki

Untitled
My husband's family are direct decendants of this man. Thank you for providing information on him. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.190.22.203 (talk • contribs).

Hi who put the above here. I am researching where Strzelecki actually went in 1839 which is very contrary to where it is claimed he went. Some interesting stuff there. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.54.9.250 (talk • contribs).

Pronounciation?
Given the article points out that the Australian pronounciation is wrong (if that's not true, it is heavily implied and I would suggest a rewrite) then how is it properly pronounced? I think this information merits inclusion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gorman (talk • contribs).

Strez-letch-ki


 * No. It's more like Shche-letsky.  The "rz" combination in Polish is pronounced "zh", but the "st" before it makes it more like "shch".  The "z" sound never appears at all.  Very tricky for Ozzies.  JackofOz 03:35, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm Polish. Believe me, it's shche-letc-ki

Nope, I am afraid it is not - it is "Stzheletzkhy" where "k' is pronounced rather hard, the above pronunciation is a kind of rather poorly spoken Polish.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.43.88 (talk) 06:55, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

There is now no reference at all to the pronunciation of his name in Australia, which is Strezlecky. This is relevant information and ought to put back in the article. Constant Pedant (talk) 13:41, 19 August 2021 (UTC)


 * - Actually I have mostly encountered "Strelecky". Merangs (talk) 03:35, 20 August 2021 (UTC)


 * I've never heard that, only Strezlecky, usually in reference to the Strezlecky Ranges. But by all means include both. Constant Pedant (talk) 15:15, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

Book on Google
'Physical description of NSW ... etc' (Strz's book) is available as full version, on google books —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.54.9.218 (talk • contribs).

NAME - NATIONALITY - LOCATION
In all sources Strzelecki is written as "Paul Edmund de Strzelecki" aswell as in the (original) list of the FRS. Strezelecki was born in Germany and absolved his Military Service in the Prussian Army. After 1945 Wüstegiersdorf became Polish and the Polish name Głuszyca before it was German. Seigneur de Bougie 16:27, 4 January 2010 (UTC) ...and before 1795 this suburb of Poznan was always Polish, as was Poznan and the entire province - after all the name for this province is Greater Poland. Mind you in 1919 Greater Poland liberated herself from German overlordship, and remained independent of it until the invasion of 1939, the time 1939-45 being the most calamitous for the province and its inhabitants since the great Swedish invasions.P.E.Strzelecki served in Prussian army? When was that? He disappeared from his home, then in Duchy of Warsaw, in 1812 and reappeared in 1816 in Krakow (Cracow) when his brother, vetran of Polish army, found him there. So between 1816-26? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.43.88 (talk) 06:47, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

ALMA MATER
The text and other ref works I've looked at state that he was self-taught & I have not come across any references to his being enrolled at Heidelberg University - is this cited because he was awarded a degree for the University later in life? I did a google translate on the reference & couldn't see the ref to Heidelberg university - if no one has any objections I will remove it from the info box University of Heidelberg Eothan (talk) 03:58, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
