Talk:Saxon Palace

Untitled

Surely an austere Neoclassical structure on the picture cannot date back to the turn of the 18th century, let alone to the earlier periods? Can anybody check when the palace was constructed? --Ghirlandajo 20:09, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

The palace itself was built between 1713 and 1745, though it was based on an earlier structure of the Morsztyn family manor. Then the palace underwent several successive reconstructions, further changing its' facade. And the columns in the centre were not added until 19th century. Halibutt 23:18, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. I believe it would be helpful to mention the details in the text. --Ghirlandajo 23:20, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

It's been on my to do list for ages now, but I still don't have enough free time or forget it when I do. BTW, take a look here to know how did it look like before the columns were added (it shows the other facade than the pic on the right; from the side of the Saxon Garden and not the square). Halibutt 23:22, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Yes, the reconstruction definitely spoiled a nice baroque palace. As an aside, I can;t stand rigourous Neoclassicism, be it Polish or Russian or French (it is the same everywhere, actually). That's one reason why I tend to dislike St Pete.--Ghirlandajo 23:27, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Move to "Saxon Palace"?

I suggest moving this article, "Pałac Saski," to "Saxon Palace." It would save a needless redirect; and there is no other Wikipedia article with the title, "Saxon Palace." logologist|Talk 06:47, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Remains of palace

I suggest adding the picture of the Saxon Palace after II WW (for example http://www.daktik.rubikon.pl/images/Grob_nieznanego_zolnierza.JPG ).

Nazi crime

Actually I don't understand why the Nazis also blew up this building as this palace was built by Germans. It even has a German name. Meursault2004 (talk) 00:16, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

It was not built by the Germans —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.25.29.230 (talk) 13:40, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Name origins

Any clue as to why this name? To me, "Saxon" looks like a quite odd choice for an actually Polish built monument... MOUNTOLIVE _{fedeli alla linea} 04:55, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

It is named after the Saxon dynasty of Polish kings—August II the Strong (king, 1697–1706; 1709–33) and his son, August III (king, 1734–63). Nihil novi (talk) 02:44, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Copyright problems

This article has been investigated as part of a multiple article copyright cleanup. Investigation confirms that it infringes on [1], with text from that source scattered throughout the document. This material was introduced in March, 2009, with this edit. Other material introduced in that edit may also be problematic.

I've blanked the article to allow interested contributors an opportunity to decide the best response. If no other plan of action is forthcoming, it may be best to restore the text to the last clean version and then to incorporate any new images, external links or other material that does not build off of this copyrighted text. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 01:50, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

It would make it much easier "to decide the best response" if you unblanked the article. So far as I can tell from the diff, the best response might be to give credit for the (relatively small) items of information to the Fryderyk Chopin Information Centre source, edit it for English usage, and otherwise leave the article alone. Nihil novi (talk) 03:13, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, but that's not the way copyright violations are handled. We cannot copy text from or closely paraphrase previously published sources, in accordance with WP:C. We can only use brief quotations of copyrighted text in accordance with WP:NFC. Credit does not efface infringement in US copyright law. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 03:45, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

As far as I can tell copyvio was committed by a new and inactive editor: [2]. I suggest restoring the previous version; and restoring what we can from the follow-up edits. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 01:15, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

That account was created a year and a half before this specific violation. I wish it had been new; it would have made cleanup much simpler. :/ Oh, well, almost finished now. In any event, I have restored the article to its state prior to the introduction of infringement, but retained the image captions. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:50, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
