Please imposing (Use dmy dates) in the article because articles that written about history of Poland use DMY date format, not custom American English date format. @El C: Please impose that. 110.137.122.52 (talk) 20:31, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In the second to last paragraph of the "political transformation" section, it says: "He distanced himself from Wojciech Jaruzelski by accepted the prewar presidential insignia from President-in-Exile Ryszard Kaczorowski, who was stepping down."

It should say "by accepting" instead of "by accepted", so the full sentence should read: "He distanced himself from Wojciech Jaruzelski by accepting the prewar presidential insignia from President-in-Exile Ryszard Kaczorowski, who was stepping down." XP6287 (talk) 20:27, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request move: History of Poland (1989-present) to Third Polish Republic and so on

See:

Similarily, articles History of Poland (1918-1939), History of Poland (1939-1945), History of Poland (1945-1989) etc. should be moved into articles named: Poland in the Interwar period, Poland in WW2, Poland in the Cold War etc. or perhaps one big "Poland in the 20th century" article should be created along with one for the Third Polish Republic, describing the current regime, how it formed etc. See: France in the 20th century

Grammatically incorrect section

In the first paragraph of the section entitled "Final decade of the Polish People's Republic (1980–1989)", the second sentence is grammatically incorrect and there is no period between it and the third sentence. They read "Western financial companies and institutions providing loans to the regime at a meeting at the Bank Handlowy in Warsaw on 24 April 1980 The bankers made it clear that the state could no longer subsidize artificially low prices of consumer goods."

I believe they are meant to read something along the lines of this: Bankers from Western financial companies and institutions providing loans to the regime, at a meeting at the Bank Handlowy in Warsaw on 24 April 1980, made it clear that the state could no longer subsidize artificially low prices of consumer goods.

I do not have editing privileges for this article so I am hoping someone can correct this section. Mailalan (talk) 17:02, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
