[edit]

In English, this word is spelled zloty in most dictionaries, with a regular English L. I think we should use the English spelling of the currency in the English Wikipedia, and not the Polish-language spelling.--67.219.254.84 (talk) 20:22, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

But, złoty is the quote and quote "proper" way of spelling the currency. I think we should still use the Polish spelling. PolskiSlaskiegokowa! (talk) 20:49, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Polish złoty
A five-złoty banknote, issued by the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth on 8 June 1794 under the authority of Tadeusz Kościuszko. This issue, which also included denominations of 10, 25, 50, 100, 500, and 1,000 złotych, marked the currency's first use of banknotes; złoty coins had been in use since the fifteenth century. See other denominations.Banknote: Kingdom of Poland; image courtesy of the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian Institution

Are we writing in English or not?

[edit]

The article says in its lead section that in English the word for the unit is zloty (with plural zloty or zlotys); but the Polish form złoty (and the plural złotych) occurs far more frequently in the body of the article, and also in the title. This is the English-language Wikipedia. If the use of the Polish forms in English is correct, the article should not say otherwise. If it isn't, I think they should all be changed, starting by renaming the article. --69.159.61.172 (talk) 05:24, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

—= I think it should all be changed to zloty, as this is the English term see wiktionary. According to MOS:FOREIGN usage of zloty is correct and złoty is not. Corn Kernel (talk) 08:37, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Are we writing in English or not?

[edit]

I am going to correct it. By the way, the artivle is in the process of expansion, but some data might be controversial, dubious, contradictional etc. Let anyone please put the templates that signify it is not in the style of Wikipedia. Please direct all the notes on my talk page. Best wishes, Ukraroad, 7:14, 17 Mar 2016(UTC)

Question Regarding Date Change

[edit]

Under the section "Future of złoty", it states that, "... so it was considered unlikely that Poland would adopt the euro before 2019. " It is no longer 2019, and I don't know how to change the date, because just changing it to 2021 could be factually inaccurate. What should be done about this?

The Polish złoty is the official currency of Poland. While originally existing only as coinage, radical changes to the currency were made during the Kościuszko Uprising in 1794. The second partition of the vast Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth resulted in the loss of approximately 200,000 square kilometres (77,000 sq mi) of land and precipitated an economic collapse. The widespread shortage of funds to finance the defense of remaining territories forced the insurrectionist government to look for alternatives. In June 1794, the Polish military leader Tadeusz Kościuszko began printing paper money as a substitute for coinage, which could not be minted in required quantities. The first Polish banknotes were issued on 8 July 1794. The banknotes depicted here, in five denominations from five to one hundred złotych, are from the first issue in 1794 and today form part of the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian Institution.

Requested move 10 September 2022

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: no consensus. It seems unlikely that consensus in favour of moving is going to arise any time soon. The two supporters cited several sources that left off the diacritic, while the many opposers preferred consistency with other subjects keeping the diacritics.

Polish złoty → Polish zloty – The official English form is "zloty", without the character "ł", which is difficult to produce if not using a Polish keyboard TheCurrencyGuy (talk) 11:17, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. Wikipedia main title headers for entries delineating national currencies (of countries that use the Latin alphabet), should retain whatever accents and diacritics the local language uses for those currencies. An English-language redirect that dispenses with accents and diacritics will attend to any uncertainties. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 17:10, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@TheCurrencyGuy and Roman Spinner: Notify current participants. Steel1943 (talk) 18:04, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. I agree with Roman Spinner above. Gatepainter (talk) 15:42, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. We have a mission to broaden the minds of visitors: mono-culturalists need to know that there is a big wide world out there. The currency is not a zloty, it is a złoty. There is a redirect article Polish zloty and Zloty that redirect here and so deliver most readers to where they want to go. (And you don't need a Polish keyboard: a decent keyboard mapping will give you a ł using AltGr+l.) --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 18:48, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A Polish traveller's cheque from the 1980s written in both English and Polish, "Narodowy Bank Polski will pay to the holder of this cheque one thousand zlotys"

Comment. I decided to see if any English sources use "złoty" in ENGLISH, I found that none at all do, not a single source anywhere. Quite the contrary the overwhelming torrent of evidence is that "zloty" is used in English in all circumstances.

Along with that, Wikipedia also states that "Złoty", in English, is an alternate form of the spelling "Zloty". Look at Zloty & Złoty. Both Wikipedia & Wiktionary are bound under the same entity - that being Wikimedia. This is obviously a problem when it come to being consistent across all Wikimedia sister projects. If we decide to keep this article in the spelling "Złoty", then we need to change the corresponding Wiktionary page accordingly. ಢೠೊೠಃಈ (talk) 19:25, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia's mission is to reflect, not to assert, and emphasising "złoty" over "zloty" as the "correct" English term is a bold assertion which appears to lack any substantiating citations. TheCurrencyGuy (talk) 19:40, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
But Wiktionary does emphasis "Zloty" over "Złoty", and the Wikipedia article should reflect that by switching to "Zloty" for cohesion across sister projects. ಢೠೊೠಃಈ (talk) 19:56, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I was talking about Wikipedia's use rather than Wiktionary's. I do agree entirely. TheCurrencyGuy (talk) 20:09, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
