Talk:Sejm of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth

B-class
This article meets the B-class criteria. A candidate for good article I think. Confirmed for WP:POLAND by Orczar (talk) 15:22, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Polsk riksdag
Unreferenced para moved from talk. Feel free to restore with references, and when it is reworded to sound less like trivia. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; talk to me 04:14, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Interestingly, the expression 'Polish parliament' (in Swedish: Polsk riksdag) occurs in modern Swedish and Norwegian to denote organizational anarchy and disorder. This is suggested to have originated from comparisons to the veto right in the Polish Sejm during Commonwealth times, which was likely an unthinkable liberty in the authoritarian systems of neighbouring countries, including the Swedish Absolute Monarchy.

Capitalization
The name of a specific sejm, e.g. the "Great Sejm", is naturally capitalized. Other than that, "the sejm" and "the senate", in the sense of a general institution, should be either consistently capitalized or not, at least within the same article, I think. Since "sejm" is not capitalized in the article's name (title), I changed it (and the senate) to the lower case throughout the article. Orczar (talk) 06:06, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Good call. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; talk to me 22:23, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Changes by user:Glovacki
Piotr, before you start reverting Glovacki's changes -- I like them and I think they should be improved upon. I think it standardizes article titles well and creates a series of articles with clear chronological limits. I might even do some work on this. Renata (talk) 17:51, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree with the new structure of the articles (separate articles for Sejm of Kingdom of Poland and PLC). My concern is that the split done by User:Glovacki has been done without sufficient care, and has adversely affected this Good Article. For example, the sentence "In the mid-15th century..." clearly belongs to the Kingdom of Poland section, ditto for "After 1543 the resolutions were written in Polish rather than Latin". Except the single new paragraph in Genesis which summarizes the history of the Seimas, the article still refers to the history of the Polish Sejm. Those things should be clarified in text. It would be nice if user:Glovacki would join our conversation here. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 15:55, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I will try to rewrite this good article. --Glovacki (talk) 16:12, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I'll be looking fwd to seeing how you handle it. Feel free to ask me any questions (I am the author of the old version of this article). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 18:11, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
