Could you please:

• work in open (not use minor edits)
• explain why you remove information
• stop using unneccessary German names, like Ermland and Domherr
• stop using name Prussia outside of historical context (there is no such thing nowadays)

I used a lot of time on articles . There were many debates back and forth and I brought proof every time. You are altering a number of these articles to the point , that now they do not make any sence.

Any of these place names have been changed to Polish language AFTER 1945, when these lands were illegally taken over by Stalin.

Using Polish names for the place names for events BEFORE 1945 seems to me like deliberate misrepresentation.

I suggest, that you keep the correct place names as they were used until 1945. You can write the Polish version in the Polish wikipedia.

I suggest that you do not change the English language wikipedia to Polish place names.

Thanks H. Jonat

That's very interesting theory, that Torun was part of Germany before 1945. Unfortunately for you, it was in Poland between 1919 and 1939 and up to 1793. Moreover, in census during 1920s, only 10% inhabitans of Pomorskie region (with capital in Torun) declared their native language to be German, so this region, including Torun, was almost completely Slavic (Polish and Kashub) all of the time.

Using German names for time of Copernicus also makes no sense. Latin was the only language that was officially used at that time, and Polish is used there now. So what is rationale behind using German ? German occupation in 19th century ?

And don't make me laugh with "legality" of taking over Warmia. Who started the war and took over ("legally" ?) Wielkopolska, Kujawy, Pomorze. and other regions ? --Taw
