Misleading statement on historic language situation[edit]

There are some mistakes in the text, which I am not able to correct due to the edit protection. However, a particularly striking one is the claim that "The Polish language was historically predominant throughout Galicia." in the section on People. This is not true and can be easily checked in e.g. the Austro-Hungarian censuses (the results of the 1900 one are in Gemeindelexikon der im Reichsrate vertretenen Königreiche und Länder (Band XII Galizien), K. K. Statistische Zentralkommission, 1907). It is clear that the Ruthenian (Ukrainian) language predominated in East Galicia, i.e. the Polish language was not "predominant throughout Galicia". 130.238.231.42 (talk) 15:03, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Central Europe[edit]

The region is not in Eastern Europe, at least not only the half. It's also in Central Europe/Western Europe. It would be appropriate to rename it to either Central Europe or Central and Eastern Europe. Rejedef (talk) 15:13, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mistakes[edit]

Where are mistakes in the article. 1. “what is now Southeastern Poland” - it should be “what is now south and southeastern Poland”. Krakow is located on the south of Poland. 2. it is written in the title “Eastern Europe“. Wikipedia makes this mistake all the time. it should be written “Central and Eastern Europe”. Poland is located in the central Europe.
