message: I replaced some stuff at the beginning as I expanded it a little:
The town of Elbing was founded in 1237 by the Teutonic Order near the former Truso.

message: The Polish external links are interesting and informative I am sure but not too many English-speakers can read them. Can't we just refer them to the Polish Wiki? It contains so much more information for the Polish readers that it seems a shame to make them read English, and the Polish sites aren't much good to the English readers.Dave 03:37, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Well, that sentence on the Book of Elblag whets the appetite by confusing the reader into a state of puzzlement. Have we any idea what language it is in? I thought the law was the Luebeck Law, according to the article. Anyway how did Prussian law get into Polish common law? And to top it all off I just can't find the Book of Elblag anywhere else besides Wikipedia. Can anyone help inform us non-Poles here?Dave 03:37, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You'll find few sources in English, but there's a 1946 Polish book speaking of "Book of Elbing". Else, you got to look for Elbinger Rechtsbuch or the all-Polish name. Calling it Book of Elblag would be ahistoric, as the town was then known as Elbing, rather than the much more recent Polish Elblag. -- Matthead  DisOuß   18:00, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

message: There is also no reason to italicize former German names of now-Polish localities in the areas given to postwar Poland by the Potsdam Conference. In English, italics usually denote foreign (non-English) words for things or concepts, but not place names. Prior to 1945, Elbląg was officially Elbing, not Elbing, and the German name should not be italicized.  Sca (talk) 17:14, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Improper Italicization

message: I have removed a gratuitous and undocumented reference to the "popularity" of the Nazi Party in Elbing. The Nazis were "popular" in nearly all German cities and towns in then-East Prussia, Danzig and Pomerania during the years just before World War II — mainly because they promised revision of the Versailles Treaty's creation of the Free City of Danzig and what then was commonly known (in Western Europe and the English-speaking world) as the Polish Corridor. Unless some evidence can be shown that the Nazis were particularly or unusually popular in Elbing, this reference is irrelevant, and seemed devised to indirectly blame the residents of old Elbing for what happened to the town in and after 1945. Much larger forces were at play. Sca (talk) 17:28, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

message: Some "15th century binoculars" are mentioned. As the telescope only came in in the early 17th century, I am not sure that this is true.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.26.0.42 (talk) 12:21, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

message: The transcription of the Polish name of the city at the beginning of the article is [ˈɛlblɔŋk] (with [k]) but the man in the recording says [ˈɛlblɔŋg] (with [g]). The discrepancy should be resolved in one way or another.S. Valkemirer (talk) 09:15, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: He actually said , with a nasal vowel and a voiced stop at the end, which is a ridiculous pronunciation that is completely outside of Standard Polish. The correct pronunciation is . I've replaced the recording. Sol505000 (talk) 13:38, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
