Old Town in lead[edit]

@Merangs: [1] It's redundant to say Old Town is a designated World Heritage Site both in the first and last paragraphs. I think it fits better in the last paragraph, but if you want to keep the sentence in the first, we should remove it from the last. Modulus12 (talk) 21:25, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of population pyramid data for the Demographics section[edit]

Warsaw population pyramid in 2021

I thought I would comment here to atleast get some consensus as there is a comment under the Demographics section saying no more images; can the population pyramid graph on the right be placed under the Demographics header, it shows the compositional makeup of the city by single year age and sex for 2021.

Been BOLD and added it. Tweedle (talk) 08:29, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Warsaw largest city?[edit]

I was looking at a night light map of Europe and noticed a big splodge in the south of Poland. Wikipedia says Katowice's metro area is 5.3 million, whereas Warsaw's is shown as only 3.1 million! PeterR2 (talk) 19:19, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]


However the ending -awa is unusual for a large city; the names of Polish cities derived from personal names usually end in -ów/owo/ew/ewo (e.g. Piotrków, Adamów).[edit]

This sentence is dumb. a) Literally the previous sentence states, that when the name was given Warsaw was a small fishing settlement, not a large city. b) there is plenty of settlements all over Poland with names dirved from personal names and endings -awa, -ewa, owa. (Limanowa, Bychawa etc.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.200.216.9 (talk) 10:29, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Warszawa - Wroclaw (Breslau)[edit]

"name Warcisław, which etymologically is linked with Wrocław." Is it a joke ? The old (latin) name Wratislawia is of Czech origin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:9E8:20DD:9C00:6CCD:FA8A:899F:BC1A (talk) 00:29, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
