Talk:Polish Legions (Napoleonic era)

message: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_Haitian
Disagrees with the write-up on this page. The section on this page criticising the ideas used in /Polish_Haitian seem to fail the NPOV test. 
For example, the title is "The disastrous Haitian campaign"
Disastrous for the French, successful for the freedom-seeking Haitian slaves. Similarly:
"In Haiti there still is a popular myth... In fact, the actual desertion rate was much lower"
Referring to what seems to be a contested bit of history as a 'myth' implies it's known-false and saying 'in fact' takes on a voice of authority inappropriate for a contentious issue.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.166.35.218 (talk) 22:20, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Contradition with Polish Haitian Article

message: I think this article would benefit from renaming into Polish Legions (Napoleonic period) or just Polish Legions (Napoleon). While the legions were formed in Italy, they are usually associated with France and Napoleon. While in Poland it's common to call the formation 'Legiony Polskie we Włoszech' (that's the name on article on pl wiki), in fact they served outsdie Italy for the most time (Legiony Polskie z Włoch' - Polish Legions from Italy - would me more correct, as that's where the unit originated). French Wiki has the article under Légions polonaises (armée française) (and Polish Legion (France) or Polish Legions (French Army) can also be considered.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  20:19, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I find the above argument quite convincing. How about Polish Legions under Napoleon a.k.a. Polish Legions in Italy, to coincide with Polish Legions page which does not include brackets, i.e. Polish Legions in World War I, Polish 1st Legions Infantry Division, Polish 2nd Legions' Infantry Regiment etc. --Poeticbent  talk  19:13, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's also a good idea.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  04:16, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Rename

message: The last sentence of this article states, "Yet even today the memory of Napoleon's Polish Legions is strong, and Napoleon himself, despite the cynical way that he treated the Poles, is often regarded in Poland as a hero and liberator." This is totally outrageous Napoleon saw the Poles amoung the best foreign troops in his service, Their were the Polish Lancer of the Old Guard, the Vistual Legion, and the troops of the Grand-Duchy of Warsaw were of an extremely high caliber as well. Józef Antoni Poniatowski was amoung his greatest independent Marshal. His first son was born to him by a Polish mistress who wanted to accompany him in exile both times!! Where did this notion come from that Napoleon did not respect the Poles? He had his doubt about the Grand Duke of Warsaw, August of Saxony, but that was only because the poor old bastard was insane. I suggest this part is ammended to say that Napoleon had nothing but respect for Poland and the Poles.

thread_title:  Low moral due to fighting Italians 

message: "the Legions became legendary in Poland, helping to spread the civic and democratic ideals of the French Revolution throughout the country.[1][30][35][36]"
Why would Poles need "civic and democratic" ideals of French Revolution when they had deeper and actually established ideals of their own before those? What is attempted to be said with this sentence? It is flying in the air, the sentence does not mean anything, it is shallow and empty. What ideals? where and when, for who?
Overall I believe this is a personal insight and should not be here. Poles did not seek revolution, they searched for independence. The writer forgot that Polish constitution was before French revolution it seems.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by KTTdestroyer (talk • contribs) 15:42, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
