The article’s authors are linguists representing various foreign philologies (Slavistics, Arabistics, Indology, Sinology, Mongolistics) working as experts on the Polish Chief Geodesist’s Commission on Standardization of Geographical Names Outside the Republic of Poland. They have evaluated the selection of entries, the form and etymology of geographic names included in two Polish dictionaries of correct usage, and other information found there on names and objects. The article contains two extensive lists of names given in the dictionaries mentioned above. Entries were singled out that should be corrected or changed; also indicated were erroneous transcriptions, numerous implausible name etymologies, as well as incorrect locations (administrative and geographical) of objects. Each of the authors, independently of the others, formulated very similar conclusions and objections. It is pointed out that in publications of this sort, meticulous compilation is essential so that the reader will not lose confidence in the academic sources of knowledge. This also applies to an accurate, current form of the name, its recording, the spatial localization of the object, its administrative affiliation, and so forth, as well as plausible etymology checked by appropriate specialists. In the case of academic publications, sparing use of reviewers is harmful for the whole community, not just the academic.
