Shouldn't this be "christening of Poland" rather? I suspect this is a little bit of a mistranslation, conjuring up the image of the whole of Poland being submerged in a baptismal fount. dab (ᛏ) 21:00, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
In Poland the term used for description of the event is 'baptism of Poland' not 'Christianization of Poland'.The changes you made make the information incorrect as Chrzest Polski means Baptism of Poland -- Molobo 00:21, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
I am a newbie to editing wikipedia and since no current == external links == exist on the main page to edit i will leave that kind of major article editing to others.
This is the specific link i would like to add:
Shouldn't this be named "Christianization of Poland"? It seems like an more established naming on WP. Renata ( talk) 18:46, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello. I'll be reviewing this article in the next few days and probably conclude by the end of the weekend. Sorry that this article has waited so much. Thanks for writing it—stay tuned! ComputerJA ( talk) 06:46, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I did some copyediting myself as I read along. Please check if I accidentally made any mistakes, and feel free to disagree with any of my changes. Below are some of my concerns that I couldn't figure out on my own. Thanks. ComputerJA ( talk) 02:06, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
Here are my concerns regarding the sources, thanks. ComputerJA ( talk) 02:26, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
The article says that Doubravka/Dobrawa was baptized at the same time as Mieszko. It also says that she was "a zealous Christian, played a significant role in promoting Christianity in Poland, and might have had significant influence on converting Mieszko himself". It seems contradictory to me (although it's theoretically possible that she was a catechumen before arriving in Poland) and also contrary to anyhting I've read on this subject before. So is her adult baptism in Poland really supported by sources? — Kpalion (talk) 09:19, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
There's one more sentence that looks somewhat suspicious to me: "Christianity arrived on the Polish lands around the late 8th century, most likely around the time when the Vistulan tribe encountered the Christian rite in dealings with their neighbors, the Great Moravia (Bohemian) state." How could Chrstianity arrive to Poland from Great Moravia in the 8th century, if Great Moravia herself did not exist unti c. 830, and Saints Cyril and Methodius only arrived in Great Moravia in the 860s? — Kpalion (talk) 09:59, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Sources? There are no proofs, that ceremony took place on the Holy Saturday. Even year 966 is disputed... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.10.205.192 ( talk) 20:12, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
