Suggestions for improvement[edit]

It is unlikely that this article will attract much traffic any time soon, however a number of things can be done to bring it up to some respectable level. Here are a couple of "to do" ideas in no particular order:

Pictures appropriate for historical contexts
General copyedit
Citations and a reference section
New articles created to eliminate the red links

"Militarymen"[edit]

"Militarymen" isn't really an English word, and I'm not sure which English word is intended. Were they soldiers (men who had been trained as part of a regular army), militiamen (a group of armed citizens, possibly without formal training or full military discipline), or paramilitaries (an irregular force, typically informally "sponsored" by a government or military, but usually without full acknowledgment of the connection)? - Jmabel | Talk 20:10, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

200,000[edit]

This is also very unclear: "the overwhelming Polish majority of an over 200,000 Lviv". Does this mean "Lviv's overwhelming Polish majority of over 200,000" or "the overwhelming Polish majority of Lviv, a city of over 200,000"? Or does it mean something else entirely? - Jmabel | Talk 20:14, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The second. The city had a population of ~200,000 and Poles consituted a majority of them. This is a rephrased sentence from Subtelny (citaion is given) who does not mention numbers, just says that Poles where an overwhelming majority. We can of course do better by citing the numbers if we can find them. --Irpen 20:55, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bad ISBN[edit]

Because it is causing a Checkwiki error #70: "ISBN with wrong length", I removed the ISBN from the entry:

Sowa, Andrzej L. (1998). Stosunki polsko-ukraińskie 1939-1947 (in Polish). Kraków. p. 122. ISBN 839093158. OCLC 48053561.

I have tried unsuccessfully to locate the correct ISBN on the Internet. The same invalid ISBN appears throughout the Polish Wikipedia and in Polish library listings. We could use {{Listed Invalid ISBN}}, but I only use it when I've seen the invalid ISBN printed in the publication with my own eyes. Moreover, the WorldCat oclc id works fine; readers have a way out of the article to find a copy of the publication. Knife-in-the-drawer (talk) 01:20, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
