Talk:Masovian Voivodeship

How about another picture?

We have two pictures focusing only on the modern Warsaw. How about another town in Mazowsze, or a nature pic? Bug river or smthg? Ksenon 16:50, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Requested move

The result of the proposal was move to Masovian Voivodeship. -- Kjkolb 23:41, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

I am formally requesting that this article be moved from Masovia Voivodeship to Masovian Voivodeship, to make it consistent with the other voivodeship articles such as Silesian Voivodeship and Pomeranian Voivodeship. --Elonka 15:53, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

• Support, wholeheartedly. But on a personal note, don't you think that your recent mass moving spree is exactly what you criticised in Piotrus' behaviour? //Halibutt 18:47, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Nope, because there was a clear consensus at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Geography of Poland. In most cases, I was simply moving pages back to the English names that they'd been at, before Logologist moved them to Polish. In general, the English name was usually still on the article, because often he had just moved the article itself to a new name, but hadn't bothered changing the actual text or section headers of the article. I also used "What links here" to help determine what the most common usage was from other Wikipedia articles that were linking to the page, and that too was often a clear doublecheck of what "most common usage in English" was. In the cases where it's ambiguous (like I'll freely admit that Podlachian Voivodeship was a tough call), I made my best good faith determination (for example, I reviewed the related page at Podlachia), but if there's genuine concern from other editors, I am fine on doublechecking consensus on the appropriate article talk pages. In summary, I don't really care what the article titles are, be they English "Silesian" or Polish "Lodz", I just want to make sure that there's clear cross-cultural community consensus for it. --Elonka 21:34, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

• Support, as nominator. --Elonka 15:20, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Founding of Masovia Name?

Hello, I am a Pole and I am surprised with the last line in section "Most popular surnames in the region":

  4. Mazurkiewicz: Founding of Masovia Name.

I cannot see in what sense could the surname Mazurkiewicz be "founding of Masovia name". The only morphological connection easily seen is Mazur-k-iew-icz, regarding neighbouring Mazury region (so, the "meaning" of Mazurkiewicz would be perhaps a descendant of a small person from Mazury?), not Masovia. And also it seems most probable that Mazurkiewicz is derived from Mazury, not the other way. But what I say is just of my reason, not of specialist knowledge.

If the sentence quoted has any sense, it would be fine to make it clearer and link some source.

Two parts

"It currently has the lowest unemployment rate in Poland and is classified as a very high income province" - Warsaw metropolitan area is rich, external parts of the region aren't, PiS proposed to divide the voivodeship into two ones.Xx236 (talk) 08:19, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Yes that is true that the sub-governments (samorządy) around Warsaw and generally in the voivodeship are much poorer (eg. Radom), however, compared to other voivodeships like Podlasie and Subcarpathian Voivodeship the income is higher by almost half. Oliszydlowski 18:26, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Statistical division since 2020 [1].Xx236 (talk) 08:46, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

I've heard about the decision, however, it is going to be implied in 2020 so we can mention that in the body. Oliszydlowski 18:52, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

The new division will be since 2018 not 2020: http://stat.gov.pl/statystyka-regionalna/jednostki-terytorialne/klasyfikacja-nuts/rewizja-klasyfikacji-nuts-2016/ Aotearoa (talk) 09:57, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
