thread_title:  Famous people from Łódź 

message: The basic problem with that photo is that it is completely generic.  It simply shows some Soviet-produced tanks, a completely anonymous crowd, and some cobblestones.  No Lodz landmark is visible.  A photo like this could have been taken anywhere in Poland in 1944-1945 during the entry of the Soviet army.  In short, the photo contributes nothing to this article, and should not be here, especially since we have better images related to World War II, which are recognisable as being taken in Lodz.Balcer 14:00, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: What is this all about? The picture is a documentary chronicle, thankfully preserved in the archives. It's opposer never brought any sources disputing its authenticity, while the source is reliable. Labeling it "propaganda" as done by Lysy is nothing but, again, unreferenced personal opinion. If we allow removal of information per WP:IDONTLIKEIT we could strip the Wikipedia from entire content. --Irpen 18:51, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tank parade photo 

message: Why is this article titled "Łódź"? Shouldn't the article title be what the city is called in the English language? For example, compare Florence (not Firenze), Montreal (not Montréal), or for that matter Warsaw (not Warszawa). Certainly I understand that in its own language the name of the city is Łódź, but in English it is called Lodz, so shouldn't that be what the article is called? See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names). --Mathew5000 19:53, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Please learn the history first before throwing around with guidelines just for the sake of formality! The form "Lodz" is heavily linked to Nazi Germany and is therefore discouraged in today's usage. --2001:16B8:2E2D:1000:2906:EB5:A350:DC8D (talk) 03:22, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  New Edit War? 

message: The last sound in the word "Łódź" is a voiceless affricate, so the aproximate English phonetic transcription should be "wootch", not "woogde"! You pronounce the word "łuć" not "łudź", if you are a Pole it is obvious.

thread_title: Pronunciation of "Łódź"

message: "In 2002 the city came to national attention due to the "Skin Hunters" scandal: doctors and paramedics in one of the city's hospitals were caught murdering patients and selling their details to funeral homes for them to contact the relatives."
Actually "scandal" took place not in the hospitals but in the ambulance cars. It was a really great scandal but, still, I'm not sure is it import information to put in such article...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.151.115.9 (talk) 21:16, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Skin Hunters 

message: The Wikipedia article on the Lodz Ghetto is entitled Ghetto Litzmannstadt. See  . Surely, in English the name is Lodz Ghetto. An advanced Google search (English language sites) yields:
:Lodz Ghetto - 88,600 pages
:Litzmannstadt Ghetto - 6,640 pages
The difference is certainly striking. I have also raised the matter on the talk page at . The use of Litzmannstadt as the place-name seems anomalous and POV. The word order, with Ghetto placed first, is German and is contrary to English usage. Norvo (talk) 18:13, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

message: * I have redesigned the layout from scratch to make Łódź article look more like a metropolitan city (which it is). I have used Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/Settlements: Article structure as a guideline. Stacks of photographs were moved to gallery → more info available at Wikipedia:Picture tutorial. Some of the World War II info was slightly rearanged according to subject, and the population template (with proper title) moved to the right. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks. Poeticbent talk 22:14, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

message: I looked at the compilation picture above the article, and it has little to do with the subtitle under it. I found the "Manufactura" building on the second row on the right, while it should be the first from left to right. The number of subjects does not correspond with the number of photo's. What happened here? Has the photo been changed? Could not find anything in the history. 77.250.88.234 (talk) 19:23, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

message: There is an old song "about" Lodz that has a version that was very popular a few decades ago.

text: It should be described if it is notable, and it is notable if it has a decent coverage in reliable sources. Wikipedia (dewiki & plwiki) is not a source reliable enough for Wikipedia (enwiki). What is well known or  even important for Polish or German culture may be of no meaning for the English-speaking part of the world. So seek appropriate sources and if you find them, then add information here.  --CiaPan (talk) 18:28, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

replies: text:  I agree that it is not central to the article, but it is relevant.  (There is a lot of content to the article that is not central.) The song is fairly significant in German pop music history and very significant in the career of the singer.  Pop culture references are common in Wikipedia articles.

message: I can see there has been much discussion along these lines. But not having any pronunciation guidance in this article currently is a big fail, IMO. This is an English-language article, and it ought to offer some guidance for how to say "Łódź" in English; even if there are disagreements about that, those can be part of the guidance.
