Incomplete templates
editIt would apprear that the 'Deputy Chancellors' Templates are missing quite a few people.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 02:58, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
GA status
editim sorry, but this article doesn't meet GA standards; it is not well referenced. I can't even read the single reference provided. The only note doesn't have a citation, how is a reader supposed to know if that's truthful or not? I'm not saying the article is lying because there's not much verifiability, I mean the material sounds plausible, but sounding plausible isn't quite enough for GA status :/.

- The entire article is based on the reference (external link) listed in reference section. It was some months ago but I believe I used that Polish article as the basis for most of the information in this article. So the article is referenced.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 04:26, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps, but the criteria is "well-referenced", not just "referenced". I admit, that's a slightly ambiguous criteria, but one reference just doesn't seem like it will do an article of this nature justice. Plus, it's still in Polish, I doubt that most readers of this here english Wikipedia will be able to read it :/. If you feel that strongly though, you can bring this to the Wikipedia:Good articles/Disputes page as a dispute, but I don't think any of the people there know how to read Polish either. It's not that I hate Polish or anything, but if it can't be read, then I don't see how most readers can confirm the information. Homestarmy 04:32, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- I'd have to agree on that one. While browsing the googlebooks for more English references might be tiresome, it would certainly look better. Besides, above you've posted yet another reference. Why not use it here? There's three more mentioned at Offices in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth ready to be incorporated here... //Halibutt 07:21, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- If I find an English language source discussing Polish chancellors, it will be a first. This is a very obscure subject, and there are very few references. I know some other Polish ones, offline, some online may reveal more, but the one that is used now is rather comprehensive. And I don't think that there is anything in Offices... article about chancellors that is not here?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 18:26, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Well, the more refs, the merrier. Just in case you could add those here. This wouldn't harm anyone I guess - yet would satisfy the needs of those who like every single statement easy to be cross-checked. //Halibutt 19:35, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Name change
editIs it possible to change the article name from Kanclerz to Chancellor of Poland? There is no such position or post these days (in the third republic - III Rzeczpospolita) therefore it would be very hard to confuse the title with other positions like the President or Prime Minister. Main reason for the change would be that this is English Wikipedia and the title itself may be hard to pronounce and difficult to understand.

- I think our naming convention would rather suggest Chancellor (Poland), but I don't have strong feelings here. @Nihil novi:. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:08, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
- The Polish "kanclerz" and the English "chancellor" are cognate terms. Thus nothing is lost, and clarity is gained, by rendering the Polish term here by the English one.
- "Chancellor (Poland)" does indeed seem the proper title for the article, as the name of the office was not actually worded "Chancellor of Poland".
