Fair use rationale for Image:Kalisz Flaga.png

Image:Kalisz Flaga.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:16, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Correction

The city was not defended by Russians, Czech Brothers is an english term and german version should be in the main article.--Molobo (talk) 15:17, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Origins of name "Kalisz"

"The name Kalisz stems from the Celtic term cal which means stream, or the Slavic term kal, meaning swamp or marsh."

While the influence of Celts and Slavs on the region is clear, the article also makes reference to the Khalyzians (a.k.a. Khwalis/Kaliz/Khalisioi etc) as an early influence. This particular people are known to have given their name to Halicz and therefore to the Kingdom of Galicia–Volhynia. is this mere coincidence?

"doubted by some historians"? ... or by one? READ THIS: "W kwestii Kalisii chciałbym tylko dodać, że nie zaprezentowano dotąd poprawnej naukowo krytyki źródła Ptolemeusza, a zwłaszcza kwestii kartografii. P. Czupkiewicz podchodzi do sprawy właściwie, ale jedynie od strony dzisiejszego kartografa. Bardzo wysokiej klasy prace prof. Jerzego Kolendy w kwestii Kalisii, które powtarzają punkt widzenia przedstawiony kilkadziesiąt lat temu przez Dobiasa, są opatrzone błędem spowodowanym brakiem naukowej krytyki dzieła Ptolemeusza i celowym pomijaniem niewygodnych argumentów. Już w literaturze niemieckiej lat dwudziestych zauważono, że właśnie Leukaristos - Trenczyn jest u Ptolemeusza błędnie usytuowany. Chodzi o tak zwane dublety - podwójne ulokowanie tych samych miejscowości. Gdy nie można Kalisii sytuować według Trenczyna, dyskusje można zacząć od nowa. Wyjaśniałem to wiele lat temu w artykule w Roczniku Kaliskim. Siła przebicia autorytetu prof. Kolendy jest tak wielka, że wiele osób chętnie, bezkrytycznie podaje jego hipotezy."

Calisia piano factory

The lead says "The town was also the site of the former 'Calisia' piano factory, until it went out of business in 2007" but the 'Economy' section states that Kalisz "[…] is notable for the Calisia piano factory". Which claim is correct? It is possible that the piano factory may have been taken over by the German manufacturer Wilhelm Schimmel according to this source although it doesn't mention Calisia.

Strange

Why is there no discussion here of the most famous bit about this town? Statute of Kalisz? --2603:7000:2143:8500:404D:DA73:F5F8:1790 (talk) 04:21, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That is a good question. There is a noticeable dearth of information regarding any Jewish population except for a brief sentence stating that 30,000 Jews were murdered during the holocaust and a little later where it says there were 25,000 Jews living there before the holocaust. A good number of the notable people included in the list are Jewish, and personally, I am Jewish and part of my family originated in Kalisz (which is how I ended up on this page). I must say that I have been noticing this trend on several WP pages as I continue my family research. In some instances it seems more than just accidental. 208.125.143.178 (talk) 18:49, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Restore

I think this deserves restoring as it was ("On November 11, 2021, ... Polish far-right nationalists at a rally in Kalisz attended by hundreds of people yelled "Death to Jews.") .. the date and quote were deleted. But this is an encyclopedia, and that is encyclopedic content. There is no proper reason I can see to water it down. --184.153.21.19 (talk) 08:51, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This absolutely should be included. Perhaps remove the reference to ORN, but the event happened, making international news, even drawing criticism from the catholic church. It won't happen though, as it is clear that this article is being watched by people who want no mention of Jews at all in the article, just as they would like Poland to be judenrein...

Delinking nationalist march from ORN

I just want to note for the record that I support this edit delinking the November, 2021 nationalist march from the article on the ORN article. There is at least one source that says that the Kalisz march was unrelated to the ORN - https://notesfrompoland.com/2021/11/12/death-to-jews-chanted-at-torchlit-far-right-march-in-polish-city/ - but more significantly, the citation for the material here in this article does not mention the ORN, but only "Polish nationalists", not all of whom are associated with ORN. I'm fine with the link being restored if a citation can be added from a reliable source which says that the Kalisz rally was, in fact, an ORN rally.

Polish propaganda

Yet another Polish nationalist OTT propaganda page. The eternal troublemakers of Europe. And Wikipedia helps them continue to spread their hatred. 2A00:23C4:B617:7D01:80A9:9391:6855:F254 (talk) 21:56, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I can't see where you tried to edit the article to correct the issues you have. If you have reliable sources, please feel free to make those cited changes or, better yet, propose them and their sources here on the talk page. Be the change you want to see.

Battles of Kalisz

Why is there no discussions of the two battles fought there (1706 and 1813)? Should I start a section on it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BBeagle (talk • contribs) 03:23, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
