It does not say anywhere in this article that he was Polish -- the reader will have to guess it from the spelling of his name! Tsf (talk) 19:10, 21 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
Piast dynasty was a Polish dynasty but it is difficult to label these Middle Ages people with modern nationality labels since they most probably didn't feel of themselves in the modern terms of nationality. -- Darwinek (talk) 19:29, 21 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
I agree but the problem is that a casual reader can see the Czech and German spellings of his name qualified as such explicitly but must guess that the main one is Polish! Tsf (talk) 23:12, 5 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
You are right. Feel free to change the text. -- Darwinek (talk) 00:42, 6 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
