The major but not well organised part, that mostly concerns past, also very biased and including irrelevant information was moved to Historical Demographics of Poland. Please give me reasons why you want to try to revert those changes AM
I don't get why someone wrote that Ukranians is the largest minority group while a couple of pages below we have CIA info: "Ethnic groups: Polish 97.6%, German 1.3%, Ukrainian 0.6%, Byelorussian 0.5% (1990 est.)"
Or have they expelled Germans since 1990?

As a matter of fact, in that sense also Great Poland (Wielkopolska), the region when Poland originated, was also taken from German Reich and given to Poland. In WWII this region became Warthengau. Germans expulsed thousands of Poles from that area.

...when land was "taken" from the German Reich and "given" to Poland. That stretch of land then became known as "Polish Corridor".
Either the land was taken and given or it wasn't. The apostrophes are in general a bad idea, since they only come up when you are disagreeing with someone's theory. We're not doing so here, we're simply stating what actually happened.
Well, it would also be good to include the taker and giver - obviously it wasn't conquest, because it was in a war settlement. Actually, 'assigned' is also a useful word in these contexts, given that we're talking about a treaty that was negotiated and signed by both parties. --MichaelTinkler
Even with very conservative CIA estimates there is about one milion non-Polish people in Poland. With recent more liberal estimates it might be more like 2-3 milions. This sentence is highly exaggerated. --Taw
One of the great ironies of WWII is that it was started by the British and French supposedly to defend the territorial integrity of Poland, but at the war's end the eastern part of Poland was incorporated into the Soviet Union (which had seized it, in collaboration with the Nazis, in 1939). - HWR
Britain and France declared war on Germany in response to the Nazi invasion of Poland. Had they not done so, a general war in Europe would not have begun at that time. So, in that sense, the European war was started by Britain and France. -HWR
Ah, depending on the meaning of "start" we could say that WWII was started either by
I'll never be a diplomat. --Ed Poor
My point was not to begin an endless (and ultimately pointless, essentially semantic) discussion of who "started" WWII. Rather, I was making the point that while the western Allies entered the war (thus making it a multilateral conflict) in supposed defense of Polish territorial integrity, they collaborated in the violation of Polish territorial integrity by the Soviets at the war's end. But as to the question of who "started" the war, the alternatives you mention are not exhaustive. The German invasion was, after all, in response to Poland's refusal to accept Germany's territorial demands. And those German demands were in response to the loss of German territory imposed by the Allies after WWI. And WWI... etc., etc., ad infinitum. But the real question is not how far back one can trace causative factors, but rather at what point the multilateral conflict in Europe was actually initiated. Hitler did not invade Poland with the intention of initiating a general war, although he was willing to accept that consequence if the western Allies forced it upon him. The Allies need not have declared war to defend Poland, it was their choice to do so, and had they not so chosen, a general war would not have ensued. So I believe it is indeed correct to say that the Allies started WWII in Europe. That is not to say they were not justified in doing so, of course. Most people would agree that they were. - HWR
To MichaelTinkler I just came across this statement of yours,above ( see copy):
"Well, it would also be good to include the taker and giver - obviously it wasn't conquest, because it was in a war settlement. Actually, 'assigned' is also a useful word in these contexts, given that we're talking about a treaty that was negotiated and signed by both parties. --MichaelTinkler "
In answer to this ,I have to tell you , that it is not correct. It was never negotiated. The government of Germany Deutsche Reichg) was not allowed to be present or negotiate anything. When confronted : "Here, sign this" , the government officials resigned. It was then said, we'll just continue bombing until you sign. Someone, anyone eventually signed. This was after Germany had Russia sign the Treaty of Brest-Litowsk and Austria and Germany had already agreed on Poland having a kingdom again, seperate from Russia. H.J.
The main reason that German Empire officials weren't at Versailles is that Germany had a revolution near the end of WW1 that destroyed the Empire and rendered most of the people who could represent it either dead or irrelevant. It is difficult to argue that Germany started WW1. The start of WW1 was very complicated, but most of the Allies (Belgium and USA are the obvious exceptions) declared war on Germany before Germany declared war on anyone, and before Germany started fighting. WW2 is a different story. Germany takes a large part of the blame for starting that one, and anyone who disagrees is a Nazi revisionist fuckwit. -- Geronimo Jones
Germany told Russian to stay out,but was attacked in the east in East -Prussia ,then beat the Russians and said we accept Wilson's proposals. But instead they got attacked heavily in the west. And if you want to be specific, it was not Germany that declared the war, but Austria, because the legal government of Austria (Crownprince and wife) were assassinated. H.J.
What is the source of the statistical data? Polish Central Statistical Office publishes different figures. For example population 38,191,000 (2003 est.), population growth -0.04% (2003), infant mortality rate 7 deaths/1000 births (2003), life expectancy: male 70.67, female 79.23 (2004 est.), total fertility rate 1.222 chidren/woman (2003). Population growth is negative since 2002. Infant mortality is below quoted 8.7 since 2000. Population from 2002 census is 38,230,080. It looks like the data in the present article are quite old.

"*7,000-15,000 Jews. Its representatives live mainly in large cities like Warsaw, Wrocław and Kraków. They avoid often to consider themselves as "national minority", since they are a religious and cultural minority, not an ethnic one. The pre-Holocaust Jewish population was about 3,474,000."
This is kind of misleading, since this number is not only pre-Holocaust, but also pre-emigration, pre-Kielce_pogrom, etc.-AchtungAchtung 21:41, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

User account Vfeibhhwf huvfbhi123 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) might not be the sockmaster but it is the latest throwaway account (among about half a dozen other accounts and God-knows-how-many IPs) which I spotted in the revision history of Demographics of Poland article, constantly revising and than changing again (and again) the actual numbers and data categories. WP:Sock puppetry has been going on here for months (if not years), and the situation is out of control. No new references are being added since a long time ago despite a flurry of activity. However, nobody seems to be interested in overlooking these constant changes as if the actual article was a piece of garbage not worth putting effort into maintaining its encyclopedic value. For once, I have no time to waste on yet another Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigation either. Nice talking to you: User:Kicper2016, User:Frankand9140, User:Krugolsky, User:Mddemofreak, and User:Otvis.

"The population of Poland decreased by about six million due to the losses sustained during the Holocaust and brutal occupation during World War II, and became one of the most ethnically homogeneous in Europe (next to populations of Slovakia and the Czech Republic)..."
I don't think Slovakia can be viewed as homogenous. Even today, around 10% of it's population is not Slovak. Right after ww2, this percentage was even higher. I suggest taking Slovakia out of the sentence.
Shouldn't immigration post-2014 be a lot higher than a few 10,000 per year because of refugees/immigrants from Ukraine? Chaptagai (talk) 13:43, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
The Polish immigration site shows that a large percentage of these workers are temporary. There's already a section covering foreign residents so I see no reason why there should be one which combines permanent settlers and temporary guest workers. Wroclaw2468 (talk) 16:08, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

there is a misinformation on the immigrant groups Damaris101 (talk) 03:00, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
The 2022 population number in the vital statistics section says the population declined in 2022. But didn't they admit hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians? Are they somehow not counted? If so, that should be stated, right? Chaptagai (talk) 21:55, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
