Would the Austrian section be part of the czeck or slovak republics? Enlil Ninlil (talk) 06:38, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not really. The Corner is now around Mysłowice/Jaworzno towns, see map at Mysłowice for example. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 19:39, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Which piece is which? —Tamfang (talk) 04:21, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The dedicated map is somewhat confusing (here's a bigger but more clear one) but roughly, German is west, Russian is north-east, and Austrian is south-east. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 18:12, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, and which way do the rivers flow? I'd like to see the article say something like "The left bank of the Przemsza and White Przemsza was Prussian, the left bank of the Przemsza and Black Przemsza was Austrian, and the gore between the two parent streams was Russian" – modified to make it accurate, of course! —Tamfang (talk) 00:01, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably the rivers flow towards the Baltic Sea (north). Feel free to rewrite the article to include the info you want. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 00:13, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would if I had that info. I don't know which stream is which, and I'm not going to presume which way they flow. (fr:Przemsza at least says it flows into the Vistula, and I've added that to Przemsza. I think that means it flows east.) My best maps don't even show the Przemsza, alas. —Tamfang (talk) 00:23, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, White and Black Przemsza flow into the Przemsza, which in turns flows into Vistula. So the question is - which is which (left or right)? Czarna Przemsza starts at pl:Bzów, White, near Wolbrom. Looking at Google Maps, it appears that Biała Przemsza is the one merging from the North-East; and Czarna Przemsza merges from the North/North-West, with the main Przemsza continuing down south. I hope that helps (and I learned that Google Maps now has a terrain tab, weee!). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 01:07, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PS. Or we could read the description of the photo here :) "Triangle of three emperors. Confluence of Black Przemsza river (left) and White Przemsza river (right) into the Przemsza river.". That confirms that - if you look towards the north, like the photo in the infobox is - White Przemsza will be on your right, and Black Przemsza, on your left (and the triangle, directly in front of you). I will try to remember to go there next summer (or maybe winter, since we have no winter photos from there), I didn't realize is so close to my parents home :) --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 01:09, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PPS. And amusingly, all of the rivers flow away from the Baltic Sea, till of course eventually they feed into Vistula which flows there. This will teach me to make assumptions :) --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 01:11, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

One ond only...

Correct name of this area is Three Emperors' Corner! NOT TRIANGLE!! Source of this language error is incorrect translation of the word Dreikaiserecke (Ecke is =corner= Polish is =Zakątek=) into Polish! Poles(without me :) ) translate this like: Dreikaiserecke that means "Dreieck" in Polish =trójkąt= in English =triangle= ! That's all :D . 28.9.2009 4:33

The usage of Polish place-names and rivers to replace the old German or English names which the rest of Europe have used for 1000 years means that pages like this are pointless and useless to the reader accessing this page. English speakers do not use Polish place-names any more than they use Italian place-names for their cities. We say Florence not Firenze, and we say Danzig, not Gdansk, Warsaw or Warschau not Warszawa. Until Wikipedia gets rid of the fanatical Polish nationalists of the ENGLISH-language Wikipedia they will continue to screw it up. 109.151.157.245 (talk) 16:19, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
