Unreliable source
For the claim that 'By 1927 Hramada (the Belarusian organisation for political resistance to Polonisation - my note) was controlled entirely by agents from Moscow.', the cited source is an article published by 'the Association of Poles in Belarus' with the vitriolic title 'The Bialostok minion of Stalin' (presumably referring to a leader of that movement). Surely it should be clear that the remaining Poles in Belarus have as obvious a motive as it gets to vilify the movement that led to their no longer having a dominant position in the country?--178.249.169.67 (talk) 23:18, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

Confusing English in "Royal Prussia" section
Why are the present perfect and present tenses used? The behaviors described apparently stopped a long time ago. This is confusing to native English speakers and makes the text more difficult to read. Please only use the present perfect for actions that are ongoing until now. Using the present tense for actions from centuries ago sounds strange.
Since Teutonic times the language of the Prussian elite and administration has been German. This did not change after the incorporation into the kingdom of Poland. It was only from the beginning of the 16th century that the role of the Polish language began to increase. Since 1527 there have been complaints from representatives of large cities that some council members use Polish, although they know German.
sounds better and doesn't disrupt the reader's flow:
From Teutonic times the language of the Prussian elite and administration had been German. This did not change after the incorporation into the kingdom of Poland. It was only from the beginning of the 16th century that the role of the Polish language began to increase. Starting at least as early as 1527 there were complaints from representatives of large cities that some council members were using Polish, even though they knew German. 2601:645:8A00:8610:285D:76C6:29BF:6FD5 (talk) 01:32, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
