Talk:Metropolis GZM

message: Metropolian Katowice → Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union … Rationale: Apparently this is the correct name. The article itself seems to be a copy of Katowice, only slightly adapted, and claims that this union of cities which doesn't even exist yet is actually a city of its own. And 'metropolian' is not an English word anyway. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Metropolian Katowice. ulayiti (talk) 16:36, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The title seems to be a typo. It should be METROPOLITAN.
unless this is based on Polish and strong argument is made,
this should and will be moved.

message: Sadly, I must concur that the present version is a mispresentation at best (OR and h-word at worst..). I think the article should be virtually blanked and rebuild from scratch (on the pl.wiki article basis, say), the reason being that it does not describe correctly its subject. Observe that the article does not mention any sources - pl.wiki version does (in external links section). One could be surprised how different the subjects are... Actually, the present en.wiki text corresponds roughly to the old pl.wiki version which has been deleted (and replaced) on grounds of h-word rationale; disclaimer: at the beginning I was involved there. Any details at request. I'm willing to do what is necessary. Discussion and any constructive remarks are welcome.  Best, --Beaumont (@) 11:10, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Silesia - bo to jest nowa oficjalna nazwa proponowanego związku aktualnie powstaje. Dlatego też, zawiesiłem rozbudowę tego artykułu na pl.wikipedii, en.wikipedii i innych do póki nie powstanie. Domyślam się co chcesz zrobić - zmienić artykuł na en.wikipedii do poziomu pl.wikipedii, ale nie wiem czy to teraz (w styczniu 2007) ma jakiś sens. "Silesia" może powstać praktycznie lada chwila (choć to tylko zgadywanka), a jak powstanie to i na pl.wikipedii i na en.wikipedii przywrócony zostanie układ strony przez nowymi poprawkami. Nie zapominaj też, co było głównym powodem zmiany artykułu na pl.wikipedii. Tym powodem było tylko to, że ówczas GZM jeszcze nie powstał, a już tam był spis teatrów, komunikacji miejskiej itp. Ale inni wikipedyści są tego samego zdania co ja - nic nie stoi na przeszkodzie pisać o teatrach czy komunikacji, kiedy ten organizm administracyjny już powstanie. Więc rób co chcesz na en.wikipedii, mówię tylko że trochę za późno się tym zacząłeś zajmować. Pozdrawiam. LUCPOL 12:17, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

message: POV violation: This article is unbalanced.  Nearly all the detail is about Katowice, and mostly copies the Katowice article.  This should be changed, to reflect the contribution of the other 13 cities of Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union. --Mareklug talk 01:07, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Już jest OK. Dałem więcej rzeczy z innych miast. Więcej zrobić się nie da, bowiem czy chcieć czy nie chcieć Katowice mają zdecydowanie najwięcej ważnych obiektów, o 1/3 więcej niż pozostałe miasta razem wzięte. Proszę, nie szukaj już dziury w całym. LUCPOL 10:11, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

text: "It's OK now. I inserted more facts that are relevant from articles about other cities. There's nothing else I can do, because, like it or not, Katowice has definitely more facts about it, that are worth mentioning, roughly 30% more than other 13 cities all together. Please, chill.

message: :Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union → Metropolitan Association of Upper Silesia — Page should be moved because, as the article itself states, this is the official English name for the organisation. Informal names can be given secondarily. For verification see: . Is potentially controversial because move has been requested before, albeit to a different name. --Fliptank po (talk) 09:08, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The move does not seem to be well justified. The source given by you also uses the names "The Upper Silesian Metropolis" (on the maps) and "Metropolia Silesia" (in the title). So why not those names? Stan J. Klimas (talk) 12:26, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Requested move

message: Have moved the page and made some necessary edits to ensure proper continuity. This page really needs cleaning up; what should be a simple description of a union of 14 cities is described here as though it were already an actually existing geopolitical entity. To this end, I've changed some of the text to read "the area covering the MAUS" or "the area inhabited by"... because, despite some pro-MAUS NPOV editing in the text of the article itself, the union has no official capacity as of yet other than to co-ordinate efforts for co-operation. As the union develops (or not, as the case may be) the page can be updated and edited as necessary. Thanks --Fliptank po (talk) 13:47, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

message: The first five (English-language) links are dead; most of the rest are Polish-language.  While many of the bullet-list sections were too long, the "Notable residents" section is way too long; however, I don't have time to look up all the people to determine who really belongs there.--Miniapolis (talk) 13:20, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dead links, too-long section 

message: Can someone please start putting down distinguishable information for this Metropolitan Union? I mean, just compare the pages for New York City and New York metropolitan area. The information on both of those pages is largely distinguishable, though it may mention the same info, and even when it does it's in a original way, not carbon copied.

message: I have attempted to update the article reflecting the new legal status of the project: the latest edit can be found here. User:R9tgokunks heavy-handedly reverted it, destroying at least an hour of work I did in my free time in good faith. I am not going to waste any more of my spare time on it, this sort of behaviour is exactly what put me off editing wikipedia before and I was naive hoping this time would be different. If you want to use any of this, it's there, if not then don't, I can't be bothered. Pear-on-willow (talk) 21:59, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
