According to all the historical references I find, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth no longer existed in the early 19th century... both were absorbed into either Russia or German Prussia by 1800, although there was a Polish "Grand Duchy of Warsaw" which included the southwestern corner of Lithuania. Moreover, Standard Times were rarely in use among the general public (except in the cities where they were the equivalent of local Sun Time anyway) before the end of the 19th century, with the rare exception of Great Britain, which started using Greenwich time in some, but not all, cities in the 1840s. All this clearly merits further research. Uranian Institute (talk) 22:45, 3 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

The Geohack position on the page used the coordinates 52°14’40”N 21°00’42”E literally, but this turns out to be slightly outside the Theatre Square. The coordinate system used at that time was probably different than what we use today and what GeoHack uses. I changed the "coords" template to use the coordinates from User:Hiuppo's geotagged picture which seem to be more like where the actual landmark is on the Theatre Square, but someone with a knowledge of the coordinates systems could recalculate the position more correctly.

UTC+01:24

edit

The article UTC+01:24 now resembles more the other UTC offset articles at Category:UTC offsets. These are different from articles in Category:Lines of longitude which talk about meridians. Warsaw mean time now redirects to UTC+01:24. Warsaw meridian got its time info reduced.

Warsaw meridian is about a meridian, UTC+01:24 is about a UTC offset. As for all other offsets, the offset content is located at an offset article while the meridian content is located at the meridian article.

Check Category:UTC offsets and Category:Lines of longitude to understand the topic. Time in Russia (talk) 13:58, 19 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

It's hard to get much from a source like this book snippet or this one that mentions a "Batavia–Warsaw meridian" that is probably not related. Dicklyon (talk) 22:17, 6 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
