Moved name of the birthplace entry here, because of ongoing vandalism by Emax Place of birth: Konstadt,Upper Silesia (now Wolczyn, Poland). also see: Discussion Wolczyn
Emax, the only Wolczyn on internet is in Upper Silesia. If there is one near Brest, then please show a map here to identify it. Thank you.
Well, it seems I can't. Whatever
To his cultural excellence I suggest adding : and he funded a collection of paintings, that was dispossessed with him, Dulwich_Picture_Gallery Regnim
What is the rationale for keeping this under Latin 'Stainslaus'?-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 23:02, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
Wait, shouldn't the title be "Stanislaw II August of Poland", in accordance to the naming policy of monarchs, i.e "-name- -number of -nation-"? -Alex 12.220.157.93 05:35, 30 January 2006 (UTC).
I deleted the following sentences because they are crappy English. The first sentence does not state how was he threatened. What? did some beggar shake his fist at the king? It tells the reader absolutely nothing. The second sentence does not describe how he was paralyzed or the effects of his paralyzation. Was he unable to make treaties, unable to lead his army, unable to walk without the aid of a cane?
"During the Kościuszko Uprising in 1794 the King was threatened when Russian bribery of his contributors was revealed. He was paralyzed, as well, by radical insurgent movements."
If, after all your editing and adding facts, the reader has no idea what the writer meant, then the editing and additional facts are completely worthless. Naerhu 05:04, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Why did catherine support the confederation? -- User:Euyyn
I want to know more about his marriage to Elżbieta Szydłowska. Why was she not queen? -- 85.226.44.74 ( talk) 19:59, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
I would like to bring up the issue of some of the royal and ducal titles belong to King Stanisław August. The current succession box I made covers the major ones, and indicates that the titles "King of Poland" and "Grand Duke of Lithuania" went to Emperor Aleksandr I. But what about the King Stanisław's lesser titles? Should they be mentioned as well? Of the King of Poland's titular domains, the Emperor of All Russias recieved several (most) and added them to the official style:
King of Poland (called Tsar of Poland in Russian) Grand Duke of Lithuania Duke of Samogitia Grand Duke of Volhynia (from Duke of Volhynia) Grand Duke of Podolia (from Duke of Podolia) Prince of Livonia (from Duke of Inflanty/Livonia) Grand Duke of Smoleńsk (from Duke of Smoleńsk) Sovereign of Chernigov (from Duke of Czernihów)
Regarding this title "Duke of Kiev", I'm not really sure what that's all about; I'm not at all familiar with this title or a "Duchy of Kiev". I thought the Emperor of Russia always bore the title "Tsar of Kiev", I don't think this was an inherited title from the King of Poland on the part of the Emperor of Russia.
Anyway, since I guess all all of these titles were subsidiary titles attached to style of the King of Poland/Grand Duke of Lithuania which were the ones with "significant meaning" if you will. By this, they may not be worthy of being included in the succession box. But maybe it should be mentioned in a small section for those who were curious or wanted to trace where titles went. Farkas János ( talk) 18:32, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
The article subject was categorized under "Rosicrucians". I see no reliable sources in this article that place him as a member of that organization. If he was - and I have no dog in this fight, I don't care if he was or not - perhaps a reliable source could be sussed out and the fact mentioned and sourced in the body of the article before he is added to the category again?
Clearly this doesn't rise to the level of a BLP issue, but I don't think it's best practice to categorize even dead people as members of societies of any kind unless evidence exists for membership. -- NellieBly ( talk) 18:56, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
According to the article:
Could somebody clarify the sentence a little, maybe explain succinctly what the drama was? I can find the expression "Ordynacja Ostrogska" once on Wikipedia, in Fee tail#Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, but it doesn't hint at what the controversy might have been. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/ Stalk 03:22, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
The last time I saw this article, it was a little more than a stub. It was quite a surprise to see it grow this much. Bravo to the editor! Surtsicna ( talk) 09:38, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
I would propose, perhaps, moving the section about his titles downwards. It is a minor part of his biography and it probably shouldn't precede information about his life and reign. Surtsicna ( talk) 15:32, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
I have two questions:

Great job expanding this one! One query though: how could Poniatowski have died from a stroke in 1798 but left for Russia in 1799? Ruby 2010/ 2013 14:41, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
"King and Grand Duke of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth"?
Would be better "King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania". 98.143.71.43 ( talk) 12:32, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

There is no evidence to suggest he was held as a "prisoner" in St.Petersburg. He was refused an exit visa to travel abroad, yes, but this does not make him a "prisoner". Butterwick is wrong. 2A00:23C4:B607:CF00:B4C8:57DE:371A:F851 ( talk) 16:01, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
I came across this sentence in the article on Catherine the Great (section Personal life, subsection Poniatowski) which says of Poniatowski
In 1757, Poniatowski served in the British Army during the Seven Years' War, thus severing close relationships with Catherine.
I have raised a citation need against it but I thought editors who have access to biographies I do not have might like to check this up. If it is supported, it would be interesting if further detail could be made as the sentence raises questions - was he a combatant volunteer in British uniform or a military observer, where did he serve, with which unit/formation?
