I'm not certain how Ignacy Łukasiewicz can be said to have invented the kerosene lamp in 1853, as Abraham Gesner founded his Kerosene Gaslight Company in 1850 and installed kerosene lights on the streets of Halifax, Nova Scotia that year. Perhaps Łukasiewicz invented an improvement on the kerosene lamp (wick lamp?) - any ideas? Geoff NoNick 18:46, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
The citation I added has just been removed. According to Oil Empire: Visions of Prosperity in Austrian Galicia By Alison Fleig Frank, page 58, top paragraph, it states: "Lukasiewicz quickly realized that the real profit lay in refining oil and worked with Moritz Baron Brunicki and Eugen Zielinski to build a refinery in Kleczany. After leasing a pharmacy in Gorlice, through which he hoped to make his living, he built a refinery in Gorlice in 1854 and subsequently built refineries in Jaslo, Polanka, and Ulaszowice."
In previous pages the book states that a primitive refinery was heard of before that but it was not located or known who really started it. It is my understanding that Lukasiewicz built the first COMMERCIAL oil refinery in the world which produced kerosene for material building before the lamp became popular. As for his earlier refineries they were small and nobody seems to know exactly where they were all located. From what I've read it seems that they were all in the Krosno- Jaslo area which is relatively small.
Based on what this book says Kleczany should be the first refinery preceding any other existing refinery in the world by at least two years. The University of Warsaw however says Ulaszowice was the first in 1956. If anyone has any more detailed information I'd appreciate it if it was discussed here. JRWalko 15:38, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Ignacy Łukasiewicz was born in the political/national entity known as the Austrian Empire, specifically in the crown lands known as the kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria. These later became crown lands of the Austro-Hungarian empire after the außgleich in 1867. This should be reflected in the synopsis, since 'Austrian Poland' is an invented name which never actually existed.
I would also suggest that since the Austrian and Austro-Hungarian empires were multi-ethnic, that the word 'ethnic Polish' replace Polish, since the nation of Poland did not exist during his lifetime and therefore he could not have had said nationality. He was a citizen of a kingdom within an empire and therefore arguably his nationality, like that of all other ethnicities, was austro-hungarian whereas his ethnicity was definitively Polish.
Also the partitions which annexed these regions in the Austrian Empire were of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, not of 'Poland' per se which only came into existence during the war of independence after ww1. Tempsperdue ( talk) 19:54, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
Can anyone, ideally with some Polish, please help improve the sourcing for Łukasiewicz at Kerosene lamp. Thanks Andy Dingley ( talk) 09:29, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
A pic of "Mikolasch's Gold Star Pharmacy" is in the Political section but Mikolasch is actually only discussed in the following section; moreover, the nearby text doesn't make clear the relevance of the depicted pharmacy. Al Begamut ( talk) 23:00, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
