Problem with the Polish settlement pages

[edit]

All the pages about Polish villages were made by the same bot: @Kotbot. Problem is, the bot was extremely flawed with one thing: didn't seperate colonies(kolonie) and internal parts of towns/villages with full villages. So now e.g Ławki is listed as a settlement while it's a part of Tomaszów Lubelski. Brickguy276 (talk) 17:06, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So, what do you propose, @Brickguy276? This potentially is a big problem. By my count, there are some 52,000+ articles about Polish towns and cities, if you include all these "colonies" etc. While I can do a manual search on TERYT to verify that a particular locality (for want of a better term) exists or not, to try to do this in an automated fashion would be a big stretch of my scripting skills.

Problem is, I don't really know, best case scenario is just botting it which seems kinda pointless considering the irrelevance of these articles. Brickguy276 (talk) 07:51, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is a known issue, we have a discussion ongoing linked below about it. FOARP (talk) 17:09, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't receive any notification of that ping (below). How about you, @Brickguy276? Kiwipete (talk) 19:18, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I did. Brickguy276 (talk) 19:19, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've created an article on Dębówek, a settlement part of the town of Gozdnica. Can someone help me with categorising this article? It's in Gmina Gozdnica which is an urban gmina. Also the infobox currently calls it a village as I'm not sure what to call it/what it's considered to be in English if that makes sense. Fortek67 (talk) 18:29, 13 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
PS - add pings - @Kiwipete and Brickguy276:

New editor in need of help

[edit]

Hello there, Kamil993eu is a new editor whom I was helping with WP:CITE (and encouraging WP:CIVIL):

Since I don't have a good understanding of the subject matter, I think they could use the help of Polish wikipedians at this point. It's hard for me to tell if their sources are WP:RS or not. --Gurkubondinn (talk) 13:27, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also note that I don't have a horse in this race, and I'm not giving any sort of material judgement of these edits. --Gurkubondinn (talk) 13:33, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Page names in English

[edit]

As this is the English Wikipedia, shouldn't pages like Koleje Dolnośląskie be named Lower Silesian Railways, the English translation? If yes can then I move all current voivodeship-owned railway companies to their English name? In pages I have created/edited I have already been referring to Koleje Dolnośląskie as Lower Silesian Railways. Fortek67 (talk) 00:14, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This section on orthography seems to suggest to not translate Polish names into English. Kiwipete (talk) 03:12, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
