panslavic bias
editmost of this article is biased towards panslavism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:45:490F:6FCD:8CA5:8BEE:9180:6F47 (talk) 19:48, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
The Catholic clergy was Protestant
editHello,
Found very weird wording in the Demographics in the early 20th century paragraph (emphasis is mine):
In contrast, most of the local middle and upper classes – the landowners, businessmen, factory owners, local government, police and Catholic clergy – were ethnic Germans. There was a further division along religious lines. The German Silesians were almost all Protestant, while the Polish Silesians were invariably Roman Catholic.
Put next to each other, these sentences seem to indicate that most of the Catholic clergy was Protestant, which is... unlikely. Place Clichy (talk) 10:11, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
- Well, there is no direct contradiction - it might have been that both Catholic and Protestant clergies in Silesia were mostly German, while Catholics still were a minority among local Germans - but it certainly is confusing. Also, all the statements about minority/majority are still messed up; it might be largely because the majority in the eastern part of Upper Silesia was minority in the Upper Silesia as a whole (or not, as comprehensive data has not been provided - a table of demography would be a feast) but it definitely needs to be clarified. --85.253.66.252 (talk) 09:47, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
Background: "Polish Crown"
editJust because some Polish warriors occupied the region during the "Slavic Expansion" at the end of the medieval epoche, does not mean it makes sense to claim it a "property of the Polish Crown". --92.74.106.152 (talk) 15:16, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
- This is a Polish nationalists' fantasy page. There is no credible sources to support their ludicrous claims on just about everything. Surely you realise this? 2A00:23C4:B617:7D01:D065:1EA:6546:CE91 (talk) 14:53, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
"Civil war"?
editThe terminology this aricle uses (Silesian Civil Wars) matches neither this article name (Silesian Uprisings), nor the Polish article name (Powstania śląskie, i.e. Silesian Uprisings), nor the German one (Aufstände in Oberschlesien, i.e. Uprisings in Upper Silesia).
Are there any reliable sources that support the "civil war" terminology?
