message: I'm a Pole and i don't understand "which translates loosely? as "state of war"". Why "loosely". It translates exactly as "The state of war". (Not in legal mean of course.) Please correct it.
I'm a Pole and there is completely WRONG translation. 
We had in constitution 2 states:
state of war - stan wojny
state of emergancy - stan wojenny (stan wyjatkowy). 
We didn't have any state of war cause, we didn't fight with anyone.
You are wrong.
Precisly speaking, "stan wojenny" is equivalent of "state of emergency" in 1981
"state of war" is in Polish "stan wojny" and means situation when war is declered to other country.
In contemporary nomenclature, there is "stan wojenny" (roughly "state of siege"), "stan wyjątkowy" ("state of emergency" or "martial law" - and it was "Stan wojenny" in 1981) and "stan wojny" - "state of war" - in international law.
someone could correct it in text please :)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.222.86.22 (talk) 21:28, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Translation 

message: The summary makes a rather one-sided assertion that martial law was a military crack-down of political opposition. While definitely true and source-able, it completely ignores the "other side" view that Solidarity strikes had significant impact on economy and were, from a point of view, nothing short of economic sabotage and threatened (for example) distribution of food to cities or coal to power plants (and it was winter mind you). Or exports, including "promised" exports to the USSR.
There's a generic reason why martial law was ruled illegal on constitutional grounds rather than "there was no war" grounds, but this article doesn't even give a hint.
If I can find proper sources, I'll try to fix it, but if someone else has good sources at hand please feel free to improve the article yourself.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.161.24.89 (talk) 08:48, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm curious, as to why someone would wish to remove the well sourced paragraph on HSWP's 'brotherly assistance' to the Polish communists , ,  .

message: Second paraghaph states
Pro-democracy movements such as Solidarity and other, smaller organisations were banned and their leaders, including Lech Wałęsa and Jas Bagniewski, detained overnight.
I am Polish, I am interested in history and I have never heard about this (Bagniewski) guy. Maybe my history knowledge is poor but Polish wikipedia also does not know anything about him. Who is he? It looks like somekind of hoax. Admins, please check it.

message: Nine striking miners were killed during the Pacification of Wujek, three people during the August 31, 1982 demonstrations in Poland, and Jerzy Popieluszko was murdered by the secret police. Is there concise information about the other victims? The BBC article claims "as many as 100" but does not elaborate on its sources. Our article here says that "a Polish parliamentary commission in the years 1989-1991 arrived at a figure of over 90 deaths". Maybe we could get a source on the report of that commission? -- Seelefant (talk) 04:49, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

message: Citation [6], which leads to Google Books, seems to be improper.  I believe it would be a citation to the book "From Solidarity to Martial Law", a book for which I lack the proper citation, not to Google Books (though perhaps a case could be made to list Google Books as publisher of the digital format in lieu of the print publisher?).

message: Hi, the article states that the national borders and airports were closed. Later the article talks about aircraft to Tempelhof which were hijacked. Which is correct, or if both, when were the airports reopened?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.232.170.62 (talk) 18:12, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

message: The article has biased notions that are clearly written from a partisan point of view, just like most of the articles about Poland's history. Those people tend to rewrite history about the country. --Comrade-yutyo (talk) 20:00, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: So you think those in power until 1989 were not communists? Come to your senses. Perhaps it is true that some articles are exaggerated, but that does not mean you can modify per your own political views "comrade". That breaks Wikipedia:Neutral point of view rule.

replies: text: Communism is the name of historical phase where there is no state, currency and class at all. Socialism is the phase to that, and People's Republic of Poland was even at the very first phases of socialism, which is named as the dictatorship of proletariat. Your lack of info breaks Wikipedia:Neutral point of view rule. Learn the ideology you shittalk about first, and then do your preaching. --Comrade-yutyo (talk) 22:08, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
