Nationality of Copernicus[]

Please do not write that he was German-Polish astronomer. Look at orginal Wikipedia that says Copernicus is Polish. Do not make some nationality-legitimate discussion, this is Star Trek universe. Nationality is important, but symbolic :). PS In Silesia there lived Polish and German people ;) It`s not a proof of his nationality. PPS And I think that for Copernicus was more immportant to proof that Earth is moving round Sun ;) The preceding unsigned comment was added by Shad (talk • contribs).

Well,then we should also not write 'Polish' astronomer regardless what the English wikipedia claims, but 'European'. If you are able to read German, in the German wikipedia article there is a long part about the quarrel about his nationality.He certainly wasn't German, but he wasn't Polish either. I'll change it to European now. Kennelly 17:08, 15 Oct 2005 (UTC)

It`s very clever Kennelly ;) In middleages it`s hard to say about nationality. Either we can say that he was native-Prussian (the baltic nation close ti Lithuanians and Latvians...) LOL. Regards, shad.

Removed[]

Its relation, if any, with the Copernicus Ship Yards and the University of Copernicus is unknown, as is its relation with the Lunar colonies. Added those first two as "see also" links instead. --LauraCC (talk) 15:49, April 26, 2018 (UTC)
