replies: text: (The article said "the largest heap of bricks north of the Alps".) Well, I don't know, there are many. Maybe Castello Sforzesco, see Talk:Malbork_Castle#World.27s_largest. --Nemo 12:49, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

message: On adding the panorama of the castle, I figured there wasn't enough text to support the older drawing, so I'm moving it here for later use. -- Solipsist 14:09, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: As the new article Ordensburg Marienburg covers the castle and its history, this article here should focus on the present day city (and maybe the history of the city, if different from the castle). --Matthead 09:23, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

message: The City is written Malborg on all pre 1930-Polish Postcards I have access to and also here. Anyone in Poland with a clue? Shouldn´t this old spelling also be in the article? --134.93.60.170 (talk) 00:01, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: All the place names on the paper are in Polish. That is probably because that was the paper given to the Polish government. Presumably if you saw the one handed to the German government it would be in German.(83.13.39.98 (talk) 20:51, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Is it correct to say the mayor of the town was "murdered"? Was he killed without trial? Is it POV to decide whether it was judicial or murder? (83.13.39.98 (talk) 20:51, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: What kind of trial would that have been? "Do you plead guilty or not guilty?" - "I defended my home town against a foreign army and do not feel guilty for that." - "Whatever, you are guilty of being the foreigner around here now." -- Matthead  Discuß   13:57, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm no proper writer, so maybe one of you feels like incorporating this into the article: http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/0,1518,600216,00.html remains of 1,800 people found in ww2 mass grave in Malbork - believed to be former german residents.. 88.68.251.20 (talk) 10:34, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

text: This kind of here-say without credible sources is outrageous. I spoke with the Municipal authorities in September 2018 and they confirmed that the bodies found were German civilians. Interestingly they said the forensic evidence was able to pinpoint that because Slavs had different jaws!109.151.159.105 (talk) 16:31, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

message: The AP article contains information about lack of teeth. Do we need a Swedish language text about the same? If yes - can someone explain, what the article says?Xx236 (talk) 14:47, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I cleaned up a bit of the sensationalist reports about the supposed German mass grave, which turned out to be mostly wrong per results of investigation. I think we can shortened it furthermore-it isn't an important event in the history of city compared to the others, and uses far too much space in the text. Especially compared to the little amount of information regarding atrocities by Nazis.--MyMoloboaccount (talk) 17:17, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think any event influenced the area more than the expulsion of its populace after WWII. The fate of about 10 percent of the pre-war population is definitely important. HerkusMonte (talk) 16:57, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Please source the claim about "10% percent of pre-war population".The exact identity  the bones found isn't known.Thank you to the best of my knowledge.--MyMoloboaccount (talk) 19:52, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

text: I added some more precise statements. The notice about ending the investigation was also very clear that very few bones had gunshot wounds Tylko na nielicznych kościach --MyMoloboaccount (talk) 20:02, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

message: The only citation I can find of Algemin being the Old Prussian name seems to be from a 1922 book by a guy called Georg Gerullis entitled  Die altpreußische Ortsnamen (Old Prussian Place Names). 
"Alyem C ı, 80; 1326 Algent S. ı, 120 (wohl aus * Algem verschrieben); um 1350 Algemin, Algemeyn 5.1, 462; so hieß die Gegend um Marienburg, Stuhm, Christburg. Grund: form nicht sicher zu erkennen."
Most of the citations from things that mention Algemin as Malbork cite this book. Do we have any more conclusive evidence and/or citations that Malbork was ever called Algemin, or is this the only basis we have for it? Pineways (talk) 18:27, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Are we sure Algemin is the Old Prussian name for this place?
