Kujawsko-Pomorskie Province or Voivodeship. There is no such word as "Kuyavian". Can somebody please correct the main article? -- User -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.11.89.46 ( talk) 10:30, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
Kuiavian-197 hits on internet. What kind of absurdity is this ?
-- Molobo 18:42, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
I do not know exactly what is in question (are you able to illuminate your concerns further?), but I guess that obscure Polish provinces may hit only a low number of hits. Personally I know Kuiavia almost only because it is present in royal genealogies, the principality that belonged to the family of certain later Polish kings, whose daughters married to German aristocracy. Does this help? Henq 18:48, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Look this is the main administrativ region of Poland. It was changed from name used in CIA World Factbook (that gives exactly 1,070,000 hits outside of specific Polish pages ) to a name that gives 197 hits. I am just really shocked by the changes the person responsible is making. -- Molobo 18:52, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship.
Look upon those words and laugh. Laugh out loud. It's utterly pathetic.
Kujawsko-pomorskie województwo in English is Kujawsko-Pomorskie province.
Is 'Bedfordshire' translated into Polish as 'hrabstwo łóżkowo-bródnieńskie?' It is not. So KILL this pathetic lingustic stwór! PLEASE! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.31.229.200 ( talk) 17:42, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
Exactly, there is no such thing as "Kuyavian"! Don't invent names people, it confuses everybody!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.186.248.11 ( talk) 20:57, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
Agree with comments above. It should be "Kujawsko-Pomorskie province". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.23.178.27 ( talk) 14:26, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
THANK YOU for Kujawy-Pomerania Province. There is no one perfect rendering of these names, but this is the best. (Pomerania is a well-recognized English geographical term.) The word 'voivodship' is pompous and despicable because it is not really a translation (which in Polish also means an 'explanation'!), but an anglicization of an otherwise obscure foreign word. That is, to know what a 'voivodship' is, you first have to know what a voivod is, and hence a wojewoda [warlord!], and a województwo, and in short you would already know Polish and not need a translation! If someone who does not speak Polish needs to know what a województwo is, you should tell them it is a province. Then they will understand. Cheers! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.9.7.229 ( talk) 09:09, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
There was really no reason for that particular name change. -- Molobo 20:14, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I wonder why someone wrote województwo kujawsko-pomorskie or simply Kujawsko-Pomorskie. The thing that bothers me is using lower case letters after the word województwo, and using capital letters when the word is not present. I think that this is a mistake, but am not sure. Could someone shed some light on this?
Thank You,

Can someone figure out where to place Drzewianowo into this article - so that Drzewianowo can no longer be an orphan? Kingturtle ( talk) 15:17, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
I removed these two sections because this article is about the present-day voivodeship, and not the historical/ethnographic/geographical regions. Both sections were copied verbatim from Kuyavia and Royal Prussia, and no new information was added. I checked line by line. It's a simple reduplication of a large block of material.
The present-day voivodeship is purely an administrative entity that was created ex nihilo in 1999, and as such has no history before then. Its name and boundaries were arbitrarily chosen, and any connection to the historical regions is incidental and trivial. Neither is of any real significance as far as this article is concerned, and both are already mentioned in the text in more than abundant detail.
Readers interested in the historical/ethnographic/geographical regions are already directed to the appropriate articles. Dominus Vobisdu ( talk) 15:00, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi. I have noticed that the article uses the "-" in the name (Kuyavian-Pomeranian), while other articles that, I think, work on the same grammar rule, use "–" (Kuyavian–Pomeranian), for example: Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. Should the name be changed to "Kuyavian–Pomeranian Voivodeship"? TheEditMate ( talk) 11:44, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
