Talk:Poland–Russia border

Nowa Karczma
There are several places named Nowa Karczma, but the relevant one has no article. It's shown on maps of the Vistula Spit, and is apparently within Krynica Morska municipality (Nowy Dwór Gdański County, Pomeranian Voivodeship). I've disambiguated a couple of other place-names mentioned. —Tamfang (talk) 05:38, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I think it could be Nowa Karczma, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 17:17, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
 * That's near the border, but in the wrong Voivodeship. —Tamfang (talk) 18:53, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
 * You are right. The correct one is pl:Nowa Karczma (Krynica Morska), now a district of Krynica Morska. I suggest a red redirect to Nowa Karczma (Krynica Morska). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 01:51, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Or a link to :pl: ... —Tamfang (talk) 02:31, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Likewise Piaski (disambiguation): the one we want is in Krynica Morska, and lacks its own article. I see that the Polish article pl:Nowa Karczma (Krynica Morska) begins "Nowa Karczma (pot. t. Piaski)" — does pot.t. mean 'also known as'? —Tamfang (talk) 02:31, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I think we should use red links, per WP:RED. "pot" I am pretty sure is an abbreviation for "colloquially/informally". --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 17:58, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, "pot.t."="Potocznie także" = "colloquially also" Staszek Lem (talk) 23:23, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Interesting topic
This is an interesting topic. While the border now is mostly non-existent, it has much historical significance for the European history. I suggest it is expanded based on Polish wikipedia article and DYKed. I may be able to offer some assistance (ask me on talk if you'd like to work on this further). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 22:45, 11 September 2012 (UTC)


 * In what sense is it now mostly non-existent? —Tamfang (talk) 06:08, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
 * In the sense that what has been a major and long border for many centuries, is now a very short one. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 15:47, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

EU standards

 * More crossings are being built, as the EU standards require Poland to operate at least seven for that border.

This arouses my curiosity. Is the rule that no point of a land border should be more than 20 km from a crossing, or what? —Tamfang (talk) 00:20, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you should ask at WP:VP. I don't recall the answer in the sources I read. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 01:49, 13 September 2012 (UTC)


 * More like WP:RD/H, I'd say. —Tamfang (talk) 06:31, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

I spent some time searching EU docs database, found none. At least time was not wasted: I made the section "Border area" from a find. Staszek Lem (talk) 18:46, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

East Prussia
Eliminated the reference to East Prussia when I rewrote the intro, as it has no further mention in the text. - Tenebris 16:59, 19 September 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.254.156.146 (talk)

No map of the current border
I read that Poland has a border with Russia and came here looking for a map of what the current border looks like. But there's no current map. Seems like a pretty major omission in this article. -- intgr [talk] 20:02, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
