Talk:Greater Poland

In English, I've more often seen Great Poland than Greater Poland (similarly, I tend to say Little Poland rather than Lesser Poland). Should the page be moved? john 03:18, 10 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I think that Greater Poland has been used more, but feel it is an ackward or archaic literal translation, and would favor that Great Poland be used, with liberal reference to the alternate term.
Shouldn't Bydgoszcz / Bromberg be added to the list of major cities? Bwood
Bydgoszcz is an important city of Kujawy, that sometimes was added to Great Poland. In 1772 Bydgoszcz went to Prussia, 1806 Grand Duchy de Varsovie, and since 1815 it shared Great Poland history. In 1938 it was moved to Pomerania. After the war it was separate Voivodship, now called Pomernian-Kujawian and nobody calls Bydgoszcz Great Poland any more. Cautious 09:48, 4 Feb 2004 (UTC)

About Reichsgau Posen: It was only about 40 days, let's leave it off and continue as a mention with Rg Wartheland. Bwood 04:40, 4 Feb 2004 (UTC)
