message: Białowieża Forest is Belarus ethnic area. Maybe a group of Russian Starovyer is living there, but it's rather not the case of Starovyer. Xx236 12:04, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I added coordinates with the "coord" template, showing up at the page top, and in second infobox, since I noticed fields for them there. I don't know if the coords in the infobox would get picked up by Google Maps / Earth, so I also used the coord template, which I know does. I wish there was an easy way to footnote or somehow reference the coord template so you could point to the source of the coordinates. I figured with a forest that crossing an international boundary there might be some disagreement over which coordinates would be best. Since I don't know a way to show my source in the page itself, I'm doing it here. These coordinates are from: NGA GNS gazetteer (I searched for "Belovezhskaya Pushcha"). I'm not sure if I can link directly to one of the search results pages, but this might work: Belovezhskaya Pushcha (BGN Standard. Pfly (talk) 17:18, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: To add to what I wrote above -- I realize the infobox is about Poland's national park, and perhaps should have different coordinates. According to the Poland's Bialowieski Park website's maps page, the coordinates are N 52°42'04.9" E23°52'10.2". I won't change the infobox right now, but just leave it up to others -- does it matter? There's a couple maps of Poland's part of the forest that look interesting, just as a sidenote, this one and that one. But I can't read Polish so can't make much sense of them.

thread_title: Coordinates

message: The article states: "It is the only remaining part of the immense forest which once spread across the European Plain." Naturally Białowieża Forest is not the only forest in Europe. It is not even the only virgin forest. It is not even the biggest virgin forest in the European Plain if the plain is defined to stretch to the Ural Mountains: there are vast pristine forests in Russia, (for example, see Virgin Komi Forests). But it would be safe to say, for example: Białowieża is the biggest virgin forest in Central Europe. Krasanen (talk) 19:48, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: The only remaining part of forest in Europe?

message: ..."because it is relevant in the context" (according to the comment recently added after 1410). Can Richard or someone else explain what this means? All dates are relevant in the context, otherwise we wouldn't mention them at all, but why does this particular one require linking?--Kotniski (talk) 13:57, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the context is that it's the date of a battle, not just someone's birth date or another arbitrary date without such context.  It seems to me quite possible that someone reading the article might want to look up the historical context of that battle, and if so, the link would be useful.  I agree however that it's a rather marginal case, and I'd not be too troubled if it remained unlinked.  Richard New Forest (talk) 17:35, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Since this is such an important location (historically and politically), it would be very useful if there was a map to indicate where along the Poland/Belarus border this forest is situated. I imagine a map of the border or the two countries probably exists on the Commons, the forest just needs to be located on it, with an indication of how much of it is located in each country. Thanks!

thread_title:  Map? 

message: The locator map showing where the forest is in "Europe" is not helpful. What's needed is a map of the forest, or a locator map showing its context in Poland (and Belarus?). Sca (talk) 20:28, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: That's possibly because the article underwent a POV-split at the end of 2013. The Belarus section of the park can be found here at Belovezhskaya Pushcha National Park. I suspect that the kind of map you'd be expecting would resemble the one to be found at List of national parks of Belarus, except that it would show the designated UNESCO area including both sides of the border. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 06:41, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
