History of Pomerania (1945–present)

 * Main dispute: expulsions


 * Basic POV being pushed: Basically, just try and make Poles look as bad as possible by omitting any qualifying information or context. Ignore role of Soviets. Ignore the chaos of WWII's aftermath. Ignore the attempts by Polish authorities to provide security and health care. Emphasize German suffering, ignore prior Polish suffering during the war.


 * Section "Treatment and expulsion of Germans after the Potsdam Agreement"

Pomerania during the High Middle Ages

 * Main disputes: whether "towns" existed before German settlement and what "founding of towns" means


 * Basic POV being pushed: 1. There were no "towns" before German settlement in Pomerania 2. "Founding of towns" meant erecting new towns which didn't exist before, rather than the granting of privileges to existing burghers and/or developing an already existing town. 1+2=Standard colonialist narrative - it ain't a "town" until some colonizers have moved in.


 * Section "Rural settlement"

Conversion of Pomerania
Rest of the article appears to be OK more or less in terms of copyvio - it tends to rely on several sources so any close paraphrasing is diluted by the necessity of making them fit together in a coherent narrative. This shows the importance of not unduly relying on a single source, either for POV or Copyvio reasons.

Drang nach Osten

 * Main dispute: None really, mostly a question of copyvios alone
 * POV being pushed: Basically that the term "Drang nach Osten" was a propaganda/ideological term which is not completely untrue. Not a big problem in this instance.
 * Sections: Lede, "Drang nach Osten" in Polish and Panslavic discourse, Drang nach Westen
