This article is affected by Polish POV, see [1], [2], [3]. While August is known elsewhere for the contributions to art made under his reign, this english wikipedia article is rather a prosecution by apparently Polishs users. --Matthead 23:12, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

- I'm busy enough fixing Wikipedia, as a few users try to force their POV into articles. --Matthead 22:32, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
Whatever "Mocny" means - this is the english Wikipedia, not the Polish one! --Matthead 22:59, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
If Matthead wants to expand the section on August's interests in art rather then in his subject and country then he I won't oppose him, but deleting information and vandalising the page by making a mess of its structure isn't acceptable. --Molobo 01:42, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
That's a simple case of naming, not a POV. See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Polish rulers) for some details on the policy, which in the nutshell means that 'the Strong' is preferable to 'Mocny' (which should be used in the naming paragraph, and not much elsewhere).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 16:49, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
Dear 24.23.39.36: Thank you for trying to correct me, but Augustus was NOT Kurfürst August II. von Sachsen, but king August II the Strong of Poland. In Saxony he ruled as Kurfürst Friedrich August I. von Sachsen (See rulers of Saxony). So please correct it. Thank you.Teodorico 19:57, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
Is the block quote at the end of the introduction actually quoted from another source, or is it just formatted funny? If it's the first one, it needs a citation... Butteredparsnips 02:31, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
