@+JMJ+ are you sure about your recents ([1])? You basically removed both Polish names and Polish as nationality of Praetorius. Marcelus (talk) 21:33, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm certain that the word adjustments I did in the text were beneficial. You ignored that I removed entirely the section of nationality - both the Prussian and Lithuanian. I removed it because I had concerns about whether it's even appropriate for him to include such a section. So I'm not singling out any nationality.

I don't understand what you mean by removed both Polish names, because I didn't remove two Polish names. Matthaeus is a Latin name and the first name in the article should be the article's title, which is why it should be prioritized. It's not clear at all from the text why a "Polish connection" is at all relevant to this person, because the places where he was a Catholic priest seem to have been majority ethnically German at the time when he was there, at least according to the best of my historical knowledge. +JMJ+ (talk) 14:57, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
