let'sd start this one fresh without Wikipedia Richard Jensen 20:50, 23 August 2007 (CDT)

Flag removed

The flag was removed in this edit. Any particular reason? Kjetil Ree 01:37, 25 August 2007 (CDT)

I dropped the infobox (with flag) that was copied from Wikipedia, so that we can have a fresh non-Wikipedia article. Richard Jensen 10:52, 25 August 2007 (CDT)

But I added the flag (from the CIA World Factbook) and the native name ([1]); We can certainly have a country's flag and native name without being Wikipedia. --Kjetil Ree 14:59, 25 August 2007 (CDT)

My apologies! Kjetil Ree is of course right and it should be fixed (but I don't know how). Richard Jensen 15:35, 25 August 2007 (CDT)

No problem, I put the flag back in. --Kjetil Ree 16:00, 25 August 2007 (CDT)

Question by a non-native speaker. Is it correct to say that Poland is a nation? Aleksander Stos 09:23, 26 August 2007 (CDT)

yes, it's standard usage. Poland has been a "nation" for 1000 years, but for a while (1815-1918) was not a nation state. see [2]Richard Jensen 13:27, 26 August 2007 (CDT)
