Talk:Katowice

removing external links (@Wrh2)

You have also removed a link to official regional tourist info page - maintained by official regional authorities. I placed it back

Two concerns: the link that was restored appears to be an official link to the parent region (Silesia), and not to Katowice. Secondly, there should be one link to the most appropriate offcial site, placed after the first mention of Katowice; the second link is currently under "Get out", which is incorrect. I've reverted this change, but if the second link is "more" official, feel free to read Project:External links and make appropriate changes. -- (WT-en) Ryan 11:49, 26 February 2006 (EST)

Well I guess at most cases such rule (about one link) is proper though thats a problem about Katowice in my opinion. Katowice is not only a capital of Silesian voivodship (district) but is also a heart of biggest agglomeration in Poland. The cities and towns over here are located just about each other but formally they are separate so in fact it is hard to concern them separately. Tighter integration is currently in (very slow) progress as Upper-Silesian Metropolitan Union (polish) (see there a map) but no one knows when would it be finished. I know that there should be separate Wikivoyage page devoted to agglometarion but as it is huge location having millions of habitants and it is hard to describe it reasonably quickly but on the other hand is worth at last to mention it and to point where we can find some additional info until there would be proper Wikivoyage page. - I dont change anything - if i convicted You - do it - if not - don't. --- regards (WT-en) Przemek

Good image

A photo from this region [1] is a finalist in a photo of the year contest on Commons. Perhaps it should be added somewhere on WV, but I do not know where. Pashley (talk) 15:26, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Proposed editing priority: Poland (specifically Katowice) for Wikimania

Swept in from the pub

Wikimania 2024 will be in Katowice and Diff just published this post: https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/02/22/visa-and-travel-requirements-getting-to-poland-for-wikimania-2024/ which made me think that if anyone here is just looking for stuff to do, it may be wise to prioritize this region for travel, as our fellow Wikimedians will be descending there in August. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:38, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

I think this is a good idea. @Tar Lócesilion, are there any plans by the Wikimania committee to support this (e.g., by suggesting that editors who live in that area have a look)? The volunteers for the Wikimania in Esino Lario did an amazing job with the article for their destination, and I'd like it to become a tradition. WhatamIdoing (talk) 16:44, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
