We need a better photo which would illustrate scale of the controversy. There were thousands of protesters - a simple photo of the cross is not enough. It was major event, TVN24 news station reported situation 10 hours per day.

Is there a name to this cross? edit
The title name seems too long. Any way of shortening it? See WP:CRITERIA for helpful advice Veryhuman (talk) 07:13, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
- I am afraid not. All sources use this long, descriptive name. Pl is pl:Krzyż sprzed Pałacu Prezydenckiego w Warszawie and lists no alt names anywhere I could find. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 19:02, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
- Krzyż smoleński? (Smolensk Cross) Krzyż (talk) 06:22, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
- Hmm, seems used. I added it to pl wiki, and proposed a move there. Let's see what's the outcome going to be. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 17:43, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
