In the beginning the article states that it was a polish victory.

In section "Post-war meaning it states that it was a loss for the Polish.

As noted above, but slightly different, the infobox states it was a 'German victory'. But the text states it was a Soviet pyrrhic victory. The rest of the article goes on to explain why. Somebody who knows and has the appropiate references should sort this out. RASAM (talk) 20:21, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved the 'medal' picture over to the left, but it is still far too big. At the moment, according to the code on the edit page, it is 'thumb' sized. I would say that somebody has very large digits!
The problem is that when I reduced it 150 pixels, I lost the caption.

Could somebody who knows about these things, please shrink this picture (without losing the caption), to a more sensible size? RASAM (talk) 20:21, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing about Polish mass desertions before the battle (25.-30.000!). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.115.134.31 (talk) 22:24, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's because they didn't exist: the entire division wasn't half that size.Isidorpax (talk) 18:52, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What was it? The infobox states "Soviet-Polish offensive failure. Limited territorial gains for the Soviet-Polish forces". And Template:Infobox military conflict states: this parameter may use one of two standard terms: "X victory" or "Inconclusive". The term used is for the "immediate" outcome of the "subject" conflict and should reflect what the sources say. In cases where the standard terms do not accurately describe the outcome, a link or note should be made to the section of the article where the result is discussed in detail (such as "See the Aftermath section"). Such a note can also be used in conjunction with the standard terms but should not be used to conceal an ambiguity in the "immediate" result. Do not introduce non-standard terms like "decisive", "marginal" or "tactical", or contradictory statements like "decisive tactical victory but strategic defeat". Omit this parameter altogether rather than engage in speculation about which side won or by how much. So was this Axis victory or inconclusive? Having read the description I'd lean towards the latter. Thoughts? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 19:04, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, too many words. It is an infobox, not an article. Paul Siebert (talk) 19:37, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
