I'm boldly marking this as a guideline (please revert and discuss if there are any objections).-- Kotniski ( talk) 20:12, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
Remarked as a guideline under discussion (it was advertised for some time in various venues without objection, and the objections raised now relate to only a few details). Perhaps you could say exactly what you would propose changing.-- Kotniski ( talk) 10:28, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
Would everyone be happy if we just put a rider at the top of the page saying that this page does not override WP's general naming conventions which can be found at... ?-- Kotniski ( talk) 14:43, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Could somebody list in one place all problems with this convention? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 18:54, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
What type of guideline is this supposed to be? Is it a naming convention or a MOS guideline or some other type? -- PBS ( talk) 19:54, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
The guideline says to use gmina in its untranslated form, rather than the more familiar (to English readers) commune. What is the rationale for this approach in an English encyclopedia, and where is the evidence that this decision was arrived at by consensus? Jan1naD ( talk • contrib) 14:34, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
There is currently an ongoing discussion about the future of this and others MoS naming style. Please consider the issues raised in the discussion and vote if you wish GnevinAWB ( talk) 21:04, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
It has been proposed this MOS be moved to Wikipedia:Subject style guide . Please comment at the RFC GnevinAWB ( talk) 20:53, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
Editors may be interested in this RFC, along with the discussion of its implementation:
Should all subsidiary pages of the Manual of Style be made subpages of WP:MOS?
It's big; and it promises huge improvements. Great if everyone can be involved. Noetica Tea? 00:50, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
I have tweaked the wording as regards subject names and diacritics to mirror what I believe to be current practice. The default would thus be shifted from 'use English spelling [ sic] except when there is no commonly accepted English spelling' 'use Polish spelling except when there is commonly accepted English spelling'. It is currently arguable whether the article should be entitled 'Lech Wałęsa' or 'Lech Walensa'; the change in wording would leave less doubt that it should be 'Lech Wałęsa', if anything, out of respect for how the subject spells and pronounces his name. -- Ohconfucius ¡digame! 02:39, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
In the section WP:MOSPOL#Towns and villages, it states "A town or city is considered primary with respect to Polish villages of the same name". Does this mean that a town such as Paczków, being the seat of a gmina, should not be moved to Paczków, Opole Voivodeship, whereas Paczków, Lower Silesian Voivodeship is properly disambiguated?
