I think I detect a glimmer of a consensus that we prefer to use gmina (and Gmina Xyz) rather than commune and Xyz Commune. I've re-edited this page (and some others) on this basis. Kotniski 17:09, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
if that's the case why does the first line give municipality as an equivalent? It would be useful to explain in the article why municipality or commune are not adequate translations. -- Richardson mcphillips ( talk) 15:47, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
I've made a list of proposals about Gmina article names and categories. See Category talk:Gminas of Poland. -- Kotniski 19:19, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Some rural gminas have their seat in a town which is outside the gmina's division. For example, the rural Gmina Augustów is administered from the town of Augustów, but does not include the town, as Augustów is an urban type gmina in its own right.
That's clear. This article could perhaps give a bit more information about what such pairs can and cannot share. The town hall building, I suppose. A website, so to see. The coat of arms, may be. Twin towns? Or even the mayor? Fransvannes ( talk) 09:40, 3 October 2011 (UTC) For instance: Gmina Łobez versus Łobez
Related to the above section "Gmina v. commune", I wonder why the municipalities of Poland do not use English names. The voivodeship and county articles all use English titles and are located at X Voidvodship (e.g. województwo lubelskie becomes Lublin Voivodeship) and X County (e.g. powiat lubelski becomes Lublin County). So if a gmina is a municipality, the analogous transformation would turn Gmina Annopol into Annopol Municipality. This is done for other countries too:

Denmark | Aalborg Kommune | Aalborg Municipality |

I want to make sure I understand something. When you have an urban-rural gmina such as Gmina Suchowola, and you see maps on here showing divisions within the gmina - I assumed in this case the internal boundaries are showing the town of Suchowola in relations to the gmina boundaries - are these boundaries being shown the boundaries for the formal auxillary unit or just a statistical visualization of the extent of the town? More simply put, are we seeing the auxillary unit of Suchowola town within Gmina Suchowola? -- Criticalthinker ( talk) 08:45, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
Why is the title not given in English, e.g. Municipalities of Poland? 78.54.39.147 ( talk) 11:45, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
@ TerraCyprus: I reverted your move of the article whose nomenclature affects thousands of other categories and articles. This should have been discussed via WP:RM, with participants of WP:POLAND properly notified.
I'm not against this move on the merits (in fact, I slightly favor the move), but you cannot just assert it's "uncontroversial" based on single source. And Anthony Appleyard, you should really know better. No such user ( talk) 20:57, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
A user removed cn-tags [3]. I restored them, since the claims in question have no citations. 77.191.251.111 ( talk) 17:04, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
Tag bombing is a form of disruptive editing. Editors who engage in tag bombing after being asked to stop may be blocked from editing Wikipedia...
There is no need to add citation needed tags to numerous unreferenced statements in an article whenDo you seriously contest the statements that gminas are the basic administrative units and that they make up powiats? Besides, the whole article appears to be sourced from "Official report from the Central Statistical Office of Poland dated January 1, 2006, (pages 49–151, in Polish)", duly placed in the References section.unreferencedorrefimprovewould state equivalent information.
No consensus to move. After much-extended time for discussion, support and opposition for this proposal are about even, and therefore there is nowhere near a consensus either way. While consistency is a valid objective, it has been noted that the current title is not factually incorrect, and there are also substantial valid concerns about the large number of articles that would be affected by this.
