Talk:History of censorship in Poland

Copyediting

@GizzyCatBella and Nihil novi: I do appreciate copyediting and such, but I had to revert to my version pre-GCB's edits ([1]) because, well, just compare [2] and [3]. I think this is due to GCB editing, so this is directed primarily to GCB: please do not remove references unless they are clearly duplicating content. My version makes it clear which fact or facts come from which source. Please try to be careful. See also my essay on this at Wikipedia:Why most sentences should be cited. PS. Also the paragraphs should not be too small, see Wikipedia:Writing_better_articles#Paragraphs. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:08, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe I accidentally removed it? I was fixing just typos essentially and a little bit of composition. I didn't intend to stir around any of the references. GizzyCatBella🍁 09:46, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I’ll work one line at the time then instead of the entire blocks, sorry Piotrus.GizzyCatBella 🍁 09:49, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@GizzyCatBella: I recommend working in visual editor, it's pretty functional and should make it easy to see what's going on. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:03, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, that's an idea, thanks. I left my good glasses at the pharmacy today that’s part of the problem too, VE will help seeing it better for sure.GizzyCatBella 🍁 10:09, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

... that to bypass censorship in Poland some authors turned to self-censorship, Aesopian language,and the Polish underground press?Source: https://rcin.org.pl/dlibra/publication/83924/edition/64448
- ALT1:... that censorship in Poland was strongest during the periods Poland was not sovereign? Source: multiple, the sources agree the censorship was strongest during portions, WWII occupation and communist era

Comment: Hook 0 is perhaps most interesting, but probably due to linking to non-DYK content. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:08, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Piotrus: This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts of ALT0 are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. The position of ALT1 is less clear, - which sentence(s) support it? You could instead have a hook related to the practice of some publishers in delaying sending the first copy of a book to the Ministry until after it had gone on sale in bookshops. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:50, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Cwmhiraeth: For ALT1, see sources in Censorship_in_Poland#Partitions and Censorship_in_Poland#World_War_II, as well as Censorship_in_Poland#People's_Republic_of_Poland. It is pretty obvious censorship was most intense during the occupation times (partitions/WWII), and then during the communist puppet state time, compared to the sovereign periods. The hook you propose sounds interesting too, but I struggle to create a hook that is short enough (200 chars?). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:21, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Striking ALT1 because of not meeting the inline citation rule and approving ALT0. I couldn't think of short enough hook for the other fact either. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:11, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Page move

There's a suggestion in a RfD to move this article to Censorship in Poland. Pandakekok9 (talk) 04:37, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
