message: I have just cleared up the incorrect opening statement (referring to Brandenburg-Prussia as a period rather than a monarchy) and added information on territorial gains.  I have also done an all-round copy edit in the interest of clarity.  While I did this, another editor (Space Cadet) added information on the return of parts of East Prussia to Poland after 1945.  Since this happened long after Brandenburg-Prussia had ceased to exist, and since this article does not otherwise cover the subsequent status of Brandenburg-Prussia's territories, I copied over Space Cadet's edit.

**In the first sentence of the last paragraph, is "rerion" supposed to be "region"?
*If you are planning to push this article to WP:FA, all of the articles that are red linked need to be created.
;Factually accurate and verifiable.
*All articles used are off line, so WP:AGF is assumed.
*For the Gieysztor et. al. book on the History of Poland in the Bibiliography section, articles are needed for Gieysztor, Rostworoski, and Wereszycki.

*For the Brandenburg-Prussia image in the Infobox, put that the caption shown is in German.
*In the image listed in the Navy and colonies section, West African Gold Coast (Großfriedrichsburg) subsection, please create artice for Lieve Pietersz Verschuir. It is OK for GA, but needs to be done for FA.

message: The flag is unsourced (and I couldn't add a  to it without messing up the infobox). Did it really exist, or is it some editor's fancy? Qwertyus (talk) 01:02, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Is the flag for real? 

message: As of the time of this writing, the article contains the phrase "Frederick III of Brandenburg, since 1701 also Frederick I of Prussia, was born [...]". That's an error. He was King IN Prussia since 1701. He was only King in the former DUCHY of Prussia, in which, even before he decided to call himself King, he did not have an overlord. He was not King in the PROVINCE of Prussia (Royal Prussia), which was still part of the Kingdom of Poland and which he did NOT possess even as a vassal of Poland's King. And he wasn't King of ANYTHING inside the Holy Roman Empire, where his holdings were as a vassal of the Emperor. (The Kingdom of Bohemia wasn't sovereign either, but was, entirely, vassalage of the Emperor, so I think the title "King" for Bohemia's holder was just an honorific to confer a rank higher than a Dukedom, and it did not come with truly "kingly" or "royal" sovereignty and independence from the Emperor's nation-state.) When Prussia's Frederick II took most of the Province of Royal Prussia away from the King of Poland, THEN (1722) he was King OF Prussia. Not before. This is a paraphrase of my understanding. It might not be 100% accurate. Whatever it is that I've missed or garbled, however, would not change the fact that it is 100% INaccurate to refer to Frederick of I as "King OF Prussia since 1701".2604:2000:C682:2D00:5D2D:B629:6EF7:225C (talk) 08:57, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Simple Error

message: Brandenburg was not merged into Prussia in 1701, so I don't understand why the article ends at that date. Srnec (talk) 23:25, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

message: Hi all, this is my first talk page edit so bear with me. There seem to be a lot of issues that need to be addressed on this page. In addition to the things mentioned here, I will make a list here and edit it or mark it as done as we go. 
- First of all this talk page needs to be cleaned up because of old comments. 
- The predecessor and successor countries are not constant. Though this page says the provinces made up this nation, the provinces themselves show that they morphed into other states.
