message: I think I detect a glimmer of a consensus that we prefer to use gmina (and Gmina Xyz) rather than commune and Xyz Commune. I've re-edited this page (and some others) on this basis. Kotniski 17:09, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This is valid, because 'gmina' is the subject of the page, and therefore other than the section giving translations, it is the only choice. Lublin Trev (talk) 09:32, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

text: I agree.  Why not use adequate existing English-language equivalents?  Nihil novi (talk) 19:54, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm also against the use of gmina in English. I always translate it as commune, which is easily understandable to foreigners.Sylwia Ufnalska (talk) 07:29, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It is not easily understandable, it just gets translated that way because it has always been used that way by Polish translators since the communist era. If this were France or Italy, then it would be fine, because both countries have a history that uses it without being communist nations. So we have a confusion here between historic periods - if Poland is no longer communist, then do we keep using 'commune' just because translators do not want to change?

message: Some rural gminas have their seat in a town which is outside the gmina's division. For example, the rural Gmina Augustów is administered from the town of Augustów, but does not include the town, as Augustów is an urban type gmina in its own right.
That's clear. This article could perhaps give a bit more information about what such pairs can and cannot share. The town hall building, I suppose. A website, so to see. The coat of arms, may be. Twin towns? Or even the mayor? Fransvannes (talk) 09:40, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I want to make sure I understand something. When you have an urban-rural gmina such as Gmina Suchowola, and you see maps on here showing divisions within the gmina - I assumed in this case the internal boundaries are showing the town of Suchowola in relations to the gmina boundaries - are these boundaries being shown the boundaries for the formal auxillary unit or just a statistical visualization of the extent of the town? More simply put, are we seeing the auxillary unit of Suchowola town within Gmina Suchowola? --Criticalthinker (talk) 08:45, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Auxillary units 

message: Why is the title not given in English, e.g. Municipalities of Poland? 78.54.39.147 (talk) 11:45, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: So, thanks to user:TerraCyprus in agreement with above discussion and thus the will of the majority and in agreement with sources it was English for a short time. But user:No such user reverted the move and on top edited the article  with the absolutely inappropriate summary "Rv controversial move per WP:BRD" to a non-English form, removing helpful external link and restoring nonsensical mixed use of gminas/gminy. It was absolutely inappropriate since the edit didn't "Rv controversial move per WP:BRD". 77.191.251.111 (talk) 06:51, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Title not English 

message: I reverted your move of the article whose nomenclature affects thousands of other categories and articles. This should have been discussed via WP:RM, with participants of WP:POLAND properly notified. 
I'm not against this move on the merits (in fact, I slightly favor the move), but you cannot just assert it's "uncontroversial" based on single source. And , you should really know better. No such user (talk) 20:57, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: User:No such user, maybe you should know better. Read WP:BRD and WP:POINT and the above discussions. And review your assertion "affects thousands of other categories and articles". 77.191.251.111 (talk) 06:52, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: WP:BRD states that when your Bold edit (move) is Reverted (by me), you should Discuss (which I started for you). WP:Requested moves is thataway, for a broader input. :Category:Gminas of Poland has some 20 subcategories, containing some 2,000 articles, all starting with "Gmina". No such user (talk) 09:16, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: User:No such user maybe had a problem to find the R of BRD, so here is some of the R-part: "Revert an edit if it is not an improvement, and it cannot be immediately fixed by refinement. Consider reverting only when necessary. BRD does not encourage reverting, but recognizes that reversions happen. When reverting, be specific about your reasons in the edit summary and use links if needed. Look at the article's history and its talk page to see if a discussion has begun. If not, [... does not apply, since it has begun]" . Talk clearly shows discussion has begun, three times, and User:No such user didn't take part in any but reverted an edit to the page against majority opinion, which is clearly opposed to gmina/gminas/gminy mixed into an otherwise English-language article. 77.191.251.111 (talk) 17:11, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

message: A user removed cn-tags . I restored them, since the claims in question have no citations. 77.191.251.111 (talk) 17:04, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: WP:TAGBOMB:  ...  Do you seriously contest the statements that gminas are the basic administrative units and that they make up powiats? Besides, the whole article appears to be sourced from "Official report from the Central Statistical Office of Poland dated January 1, 2006, (pages 49–151, in Polish)", duly placed in the References section.Really, I don't see a reason for such battleground attitude of yours. This site operates on consensus and discussion, and there is no pressing need to move this article and thousands of others to achieve consistency with other countries that bothered no-one so far. This particular article sits at this title since 2004. No such user (talk) 07:59, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
