  • Comment For something like this I think the image page needs all the sources that was used to make the image, they need to be accurate and correct, it hasn't got that, the weird zoom in on the area in the front is just awkward and weird, and the image size is tiny for something we'd normally accept for a FP gif image I think... don't think it has a chance, tbh. — raekyt 04:08, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Then where are you getting the borders that you're using, clearly the wikipedia article doesn't give exact or near exact survey lines for the borders over time? Is this WP:OR? — raekyt 12:23, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Please either ditch or improve that zoom at the start. The jumping around left and light doesn't look right. JJ Harrison (talk) 04:12, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Why is there a slide for the German invasion of the USSR in 1941 (which appears to have not led to any direct changes to the Polish borders - or the lack thereof at this time, tragically) but not a slide for the Polish invasion of the USSR in 1920?

  • Comment: Are there any changes in the last few frames, say 1960 on? If it is just the names of neighboring states changing I don't know why it would be included. Rmhermen (talk) 16:57, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
