sometimes referred to as the Pecker Dance

Is this for real or is this vandalism? I strongly suspect the latter. Kostaki mou (talk) 03:25, 12 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

If it isn't vandalism, why is there nothing about it in the Polish version? (And, to the person who undid the "anti-pecker vandalism," a good-faith edit, even if incorrect, is not vandalism.) Kostaki mou (talk) 21:21, 9 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
It sounds to me as though "Pecker dance" is an English-language nickname, and so might not be on the Polish wiki. 92.24.198.203 (talk) 18:40, 20 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
It sounds like vandalism to me; I've removed it because I don't see it in any relevant sources and the contributor did not provide a source. If someone wants to put the term back in, please provide a source. Doremo (talk) 13:12, 11 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

fact?

The first printed Krakowiak appeared in Franciszek Mirecki's album for the piano, "Krakowiaks Offered to the Women of Poland" (Warsaw, 1816).

However, Google immediately points to the "Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung", no. 5, February 2, 1814. Here is a review of Okonski's "Mazures et Krakowiaks pour le Pianoforte", published in Leipzig by Breitkopf & Härtel. This edition (according to the description) contains three krakowiaks. So, Mirecki was not the first one. -- M. G. J. (talk) 19:37, 8 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
