Talk:Polish government-in-exile

message: From the article:
"In an unfortunate coincidence, Sikorski, the most talented of the Polish exile leaders, was killed in an aircrash near Gibraltar in July. He was succeeded as head of the government in exile by Stanisław Mikołajczyk."
I know little about the history in question here, but the description of Sikorski as "the most talented of the Polish exile leaders" seems to be more of an opinion than fact. I would suggest changing the text at least to "Sikorski, considered by many people to be the most talented..." or (ideally) coming up with a better justification for referring to him as such.

replies: text: Perhaps, but it would be a weasel word anyway. Almost everything I read agrees Sikorski was 'the most talented' Polish contemporary leader. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 18:59, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

message: May I suggest that the capitalisation of this page should be changed from "Polish government in exile" to "Polish Government in Exile" with capital G and capital E.  That is how they wrote about themselves in their quarterly English language journal "Polish Affairs" e.g. No 127 (Final) 1990

replies: text: Regarding Vatican City, I noticed the the government-in-exile had some rather difficult relations with the papacy during World War Two, essentially because of an alleged complacence on the part of the Holy See towards German invaders. This could perhaps be noted in the article, along with relevant sources of course. ADM (talk) 00:07, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ireland, Spain and Vatican City (till 1979) were the last countries to recognize the Government in Exile.

message: We say that the reception of the symbols of the Polish state by Walesa was in effect retroactively recognizing the legitimacy of the Government in Exile.  Do we have a source for this contention?  It doesn't seem obvious to me.  Retroactively recognizing the government in exile's legitimacy would also mean retroactively recognizing the illegitimacy of the communist state, and that doesn't seem to be the case.  Among other things, the Communist state's recognition of its postwar eastern border did not have to be done again after 1989, did it?  And the constitution of 1992 appears to have been an amendment to the communist constitution of 1952.  So, while there might be symbolic recognition of the legitimacy of the government in exile, there certainly does not seem to have been any legal recognition of the same. This language should be tightened up. john k (talk) 04:29, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Since the flag of Poland was changed in 1980, did the Polish government-in-exile also changed its flag at the same time or has it always had the 1928-1980 as its flag until the current Republic of Poland was established? Or did the Polish government-in-exile use the current flag of Poland before it was first used by the Polish People's Republic in 1980? Elevatorrailfan (talk) 23:51, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

message: It is misleading or incorrect to say President Kaczorowski "resigned" in 1990. He simply handed over power to President Walesa, as there was now a legitimate government in Poland.

message: Shouldn't the hyperlink in the lead section read "Polish People's Republic" (the actual name of the article it's linked to), rather than "People's Republic of Poland" which leads to a redirect? Seems confusing.  Am I missing something? Foreignshore (talk) 20:45, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

message: The article states "Escaping from France the government relocated to London, where it was recognized by all the Allied governments". The USSR was part of the Alliance. It has been stated (summarised at History.com) that Molotov declared that the polish government did not exist on the basis that it had fled Poland. This is inconsistent with the statement made in this wikipedia article. This statement needs to be reviewed by a professional historian who has good knowledge of the evidence and this potential source of confusion needs to be credibly clarified.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.93.146.110 (talk) 18:45, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
