Mala informacja

Witam tutaj Tymek 21:09, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Niedawno wpadla mi w rece ciekawa publikacja, Maly Rocznik Statystyczny Polski za rok 1939

Staram sie w oparciu o te ksiazke czyscic dane dotyczace przedwojennej Polski, dodawac nowe i poprawiac ewentualne bledy. Jezeli posiadasz wiedze na temat artykulow o przedwojennej Polsce, w których przydlaby sie jakas statystyczna korekta, napisz

pozdrawiam serdecznie Tymek 21:09, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Piotrus-Ghirla

This case is now closed and the results have been published at the link above.

Because Ghirlandajo, a main party to this case, has not edited since December 27, 2006, and because of an ongoing informal mediation attempt that occured prior to Ghirlandajo's absence, this case is temporarily dismissed. If and when Ghirlandajo returns, it would be best for him to resume productive mainspace editing, which it is hoped can take place without a recurrence of the disputes that led to this case. As appropriate, the mediation between Ghirlandajo and Piotrus can be resumed to seek resolution of any live disputes that might remain between them. Under the circumstances, the arbitration case is dismissed, without prejudice to a request by any party to reopen it in the future if necessary.

Déja vu all over again

There's a near-cliché about being made to keep voting until the right result comes up. I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm getting rather bored by having to revisit substantially the same question. The sort of compromise that resulted in the camel in place of the horse, that we don't need. Come up with a workable compromise (i.e. Latin name per Shilkanni), and you might get somewhere. Angus McLellan (Talk) 23:52, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

So how about Jogaila (Władysław II Jagiełło) (Ягайла Ольгердович) (allowing for corrections to my non-existent language skillz)? I could live with Jagello (Shilkanni assures me that's the accurate Latin form), or Jagiello at a pinch, but byzantine confections are not what WP:NAME is supposed to produce. You should read that TV arbcom case, especially the bits about consensus building. Voting is evil, so I've heard. Angus McLellan (Talk) 00:23, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I must agree. Discussing the sources for Jagello vs. Jagiello would actually be interesting, however. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 00:27, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Can you do me a huge favour and add a note to the Polish and Lithuanian noticeboards about the Jogaila mediation sometime? And anywhere that seems reasonable to you. (I'll owe you a favour: perhaps I can add some more stuff to the Voisin 3 article since I heaps of it.) Thanks in advance. Dziynki! (Is that how it's written?) Dobra noc, Angus McLellan (Talk) 01:27, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

A quick and dirty article on Aeroplanes Voisin is done. Rather than Voisin series, I think I'll do something on the Salmson 2, a successful French design that served with US and Polish air forces too. Angus McLellan (Talk) 01:58, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

NewArtBot

Please check Portal_talk:Poland/New_article_announcements#User:AlexNewArtBot_-_New_Article_Bot and Portal:Poland/New_article_announcements#Possible Poland-related article found by bot . The idea is that the articles found there are processes by the portal participants Alex Bakharev 19:50, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

• Thanks for your suggestions. The bot should eat every regular expression (see a cheat sheet). \W stands for any non-word character (outside A-Z and a-z range) I use it as a word boundary market. Sometimes it works incorrectly as the letters with diacritics are still match the patterns and seen by the bot as a word marker, that they are not.

• I am sort of reluctant to include rules polish and pole as the both words can mean something else. I have included polish with the markers on both sides /\Wpolish\W/ at least it will remove words like polished and polishing. I am very reluctant to include the rule pole as all the timber�ishing\etc. connotation would leave to massive false positive. Alex Bakharev 06:13, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Recent edit war at article Poles

You have participated in the recent edit war over the opening paragraph of the article Poles. The article has now been fully protected to prevent further edit warring.

Article name

I nominated the article for selfish reasons, I admit. You and I are different types of Wikipedian: you do lots of things; I do one thing at a time, obsessively. And so I felt I had to get this one out of my system now before I move on to my next obsession (probably Anton Chekhov). I can't wait while the wheels of mediation, polls, the United Nations, or whatever tediously grind along.

I know I won't be able to commit to this article in the same way for a postponed FAC (at the moment the background reading is very fresh in my mind), but that's my issue, nobody else's. I'm actually quite enjoying the fight of trying to get the article to pass in the face of this rather large obstacle of the mediation; it's certainly more fun than giving up.

By the way, thanks for voting 'support' despite your dislike of the title: I hope your critics noticed that. Anyway, Wikipedia isn't life, and if the article fails, don't worry, I won't be throwing myself off the nearest cliff. All the best. qp10qp 16:58, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Is Poland in Central or Eastern Europe?

Hi, seeing as you seem to be the wiki-authority on all things Polish I present to you the above mentioned question pertaining to the main article on Poland. There has been a number of edits in this article with regards to this geographical location. The current version states that Poland is in Central or Eastern Europe. I believe this should be corrected for the following reasons: the articles on Poland's neighbors all state their location as Central, not Western or Eastern; geographically Poland does not lie east of the geographical divisor of the European continent; culturally Catholic Poland has always been far closer to any western state than eastern one. There is no more Eastern Bloc and an article on present day Poland should not be swayed by past assumptions. Poland does not meet either of the two criteria presented in the "Eastern Europe" article and is already in the "Central Europe." I would appreciate your comments on this issue. Many thanks! JRWalko 03:14, 27 January 2007 (UTC)JRWalko

It's in Central Europe. It was in Eastern Europe only in the abstract sense, as part of the Eastern Bloc. Appleseed (Talk) 03:18, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Sources are not clear on this, and both variants should stay, preferably with a footnote explaining the various points of view.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  04:30, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Poland is in fact one of a number of claimants for the title, "Geographical Center of Europe." By all rights, in this view, the capital of the European Union should one day find its home in the broad suburbs of Warsaw.

The custom of calling Poland a part of "Eastern Europe" was the product of several decades' bipolar division of Europe and the world, and of ignorance. logologist|Talk 06:46, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Social Darwinism

At 05:15 on 26 January 2007, as your edit summary states, you moved Social Darwinism to Social darwinism: no need to capitalize. This move appears to have been made without first placing move or merge tags on the article, and the talk page has not been moved, causing some confusion. All the references I've checked use the capitalised form, which is consistently used in the article: going through the first 100 in a google search, the uncapitalised varsion is used by one "History 203 lecture list" with a generally eccentric approach to capitals, Evowiki which dispenses with the capital in the title but uses it in the article, and two chat type pages [2] [3]. Doesn't seem to me like much usage, and the page is now inconsistent. Any evidence that we shouldn't move the title back? .. dave souza, talk 10:18, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, your willingness to have it changed back is appreciated. Sorry I missed the earlier discussion, and I must admit to having reverted some vandalism on the page without noticing that the title had changed. Anyway, though it's not obvious, the Wikipedia:Manual of Style (capital letters)#Religions, deities, philosophies, doctrines and their adherents section concludes that "Philosophies, theories, doctrines, and systems of thought do not begin with a capital letter, unless the name derives from a proper noun:", and so Darwinism as deriving from the proper noun "Darwin" always begins with a capital letter, even when preceded by "social". I've changed back a page move in the past, but don't have much experience of it: is this something you'd prefer to do yourself? Thanks for your helpfulness, .. dave souza, talk 20:57, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Re:My monobook.js

Thanks for the note. I wasn't aware of the category problem (and it looks like I'm not the only one). I believe I fixed it (don't see my page in the category anymore), but if you see any problems, don't hesitiate to tell me. Gavia immer (u|t) 17:24, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Spellings

You're quite right. I can't tell you how unintuitive such names are to me (after being a good speller all my life, I now turn out to be dyslexic in Polish!). I have been making offline changes to the map already, actually (I somehow left out Kaunas altogether), but it will be one of the last things I add, in case some more blunders reveal themselves in the meantime. For the N place, MK suggested Navahrudak; Calgacus suggested Novogrudok. I presume the first is Belarusian and the second Russian. Which of those two do you think would be more appropriate? (I made an innocent mistake in using the Polish version and was suspected of Polish POV! Me, who can't even spell Dobrzyń!) qp10qp 20:05, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Thingummyjig

Either Jagello or Jagiello would be fine, although if you were aiming for a vote, I suspect that Jagiello would get the "use English" votes. I'm not sure any of the other ones fill me with boundless enthusiasm. The two you mention have the advantage that they should both be recognisable to anyone whose national mythology the subject forms part of, without actually using a myth-specific name. Thanks for submitting Salmson 2 and Aeroplanes Voisin for T:DYK. I decided to submit a couple of "articles for creation" ones I'd seen and some other odds and ends. We can't have the DYK bit entirely filled with Central/East European stuff written by you, Irpen, and Halibutt... As for whether Poland is in Central or Eastern Europe, the answer is "Yes, it is". Hope that helps! Cheers, Angus McLellan (Talk) 23:18, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

I would accept either, and would be interested to see Shilkanni's evidence that Jagello is better Latin. As Angus predicts, I would prefer Jagiello, because it seems to be more common in English; but I was thinking of proposing Jagello myself, because it's somebody else's first choice. It also has the advantage of giving everybody (but Shilkanni) something to gain from Mediation, which may mean that the next attempt won't be torpedoed. (And if that doesn't work, how about a move to "What-his-name"? ;-> "Thingummyjig" is just so British.) Septentrionalis PMAnderson 03:03, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Other names would be at best marginally acceptable, and I forget where I drew the line; there was an approval poll one or two WP:RM's back. I am willing to tolerate Jogaila, but I don't like it; I might feel the same about Ladislaus or Wladyslaw. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 03:23, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Jarosław Kaczyński

I have reverted your edit to the talk page of this article, and I must say your edit summary was rather misleading. you said "rm {{LGBTProject|class=start}} per talk and article content (nothing to support it". I see nothing in the talk to indicate consensus was achieved regarding the tagging of this article, only the placement of the subject in the LGBT category, which is an entirely different matter. He clearly falls within the scope of our project due to the irrational, homophobic statements he has made--statements which were removed from the article in the last whitewash, but which I have reinserted. I would ask that sourced statements not be removed from articles, so as not to create a POV article, which is what was happening on this one. Jeffpw 08:25, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your note, Piotrus. I've still a bit to do at Jagiello, chasing up the remaining points raised at FAC. I fear that only medieval, preferably late medieval, topics float my boat when it comes to history, though I did help copy-edit Finnish Civil War.

Re: Zamówienie na szablon

Done, but I'm beginning to wonder if we need all these templates that simply mirror categories. I'm not sure if the little extra information they contain, such as chronology, is worth the effort of creating and maintaining them.

Polish obscenity?

I gather from the dictionary that this edit contains a slightly denatured obscene insult in Polish. The poster has denied this on my Talk page, so I am wondering if there is some slang usage unknown to me which would make this civil discourse. If so, what does it mean?

If there isn't, would you be willing to co-sign an RfC? Septentrionalis PMAnderson 22:35, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

It is possible that the misspelling was part of the point; he insists on "official" names, which is why he was on Talk:Tenedos in the first place/ Leaving off the slash may be irony about the spellings preferred in English, like Wladislaw. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 22:47, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Hungary 1848

Dzien dobry, Piotrus, and dziekuje for posting on the Hungarian noticeboard about 1848!

I'm still technically on wikibreak, but I was planning to start a 48 article as soon as I return (in 2 weeks, or thereabouts.)

It reminds me, a couple months back I bounced some ideas around with Alensha about trying to set up some sort of informal "alliance" (oh, all right, a cabal) :) of Polish and Hungarian Wikipedians, sort of like a wikiproject but not as organized. :) I just figured that since Poland and Hungary have traditionally been friends and so much of Central-Eastern European history involves both, there could be potential for a very fruitful collaboration here. What do you think?

Hi, could you please check this [5] Consensus was already set but some disputors ignore that and keep adding accuracy tag on the page. ≈Tulkolahten≈^≈talk≈ 08:04, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Stop right now

Do not come back at me and warn me for something that was discussed and taken care of in the past. Should you try to push this issue, you will be reported. Your call. You state that my words were only 'partially correct' and you also state that you are not involved in this matter. Next time do your research, and find out that this issue was already handled. Therefore, you cannot come back and issue out late warnings as you did. As far as translation for confirmation, the translation is incorrect because there was not a proper usage of terminology. The irony is that Pmanderson can do all the intelligent insults and slandering without warning. An admin - Newyorkbrad - has informed both myself and Pmanderson to cease and move on. I have done so, it seems that Pmanderson will not. I will not stand for being slandered, nor will I accept accusations. Pmanderson needs to back down and move on to better edits, as I chose to do. Rarelibra 14:05, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Pay attention, I will only inform you once:

FYI - It's a common misconception that it's appropriate to try to force users to keep some kind of brand of shame on their pages. Please see "User space harassment" in Wikipedia:Harassment, and several threads currently on WP:ANI, e. g. this and this. The templates about not removing warnings, and the block threats, are for anonymous vandals, not for cases like this. I have a right to remove anything I like from my userpage(s).

If you persist, you will be reported. Thank you. Rarelibra 15:23, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Removing warnings

Piotrus, Rarelibra has appealed to me to intervene, since he knows how I feel about re-inserting warnings which the user has removed. (In fact I notice he's largely quoting me above. :-) ) I don't have much of a way of forming an opinion about the conflict itself, but I do ask you not to restore anything he removes from his page. There is some disagreement on this score, see here, but every time it's brought up on ANI, as far as I've seen, it returns a consensus that users can remove any messages they want, and that putting them back is harrassment. (The discussions Rarelibra links you to aren't "current" any more, but the principle has remained the same.) Why put them back, anyway? They're not supposed to sit there as a badge of shame, they're for the user to read, right? Well, and for admins to be aware of in case of future problems, but provided you use a telling edit summary (ahem), they're very easily recoverable from the History. Removing them is proof that he has read them. Best wishes, Bishonen | talk 16:36, 14 February 2007 (UTC).

So in your opinion reinserting a warning about obscene behavior is worse than the behavior itself? Interesting. Space Cadet 18:44, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

No, as stated above in his opinion a user can read and acknowledge something on his/her user page and then either choose to archive it (best solution) or delete it (still in the history). It is worse to continually revert and attempt to force shame if, in fact, the user acknowledges and accepts. In your case, by reading your talk page, I see you also have several issues to deal with - especially when you are borderline threatening wikistalking to me. Rarelibra 19:11, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes I have been accused of crap, been misunderstood and finally (YES!) rightfully reprimanded. Only I never remove justifiable warnings (that's why you can read them, duh), but instead I learn from them. Watch, you'll thank Piotruś and me one day. Space Cadet 19:32, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Piotrus. Not Piotruś. I even explain it on my mainpage :) Now, please stop this min flaminging on my talk page, both of you.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  19:41, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

No flaming on my end. Simple clarification - you have the right to remove what you want. Period. Please deal with this accordingly. Thank you and happy editing. Rarelibra 19:44, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Now, on a more positive end, could you assist me with providing the name of the powiat that is direct East of the Warszawski Zachodni powiat? Thank you. Rarelibra 19:47, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Deprodding

Hi. I've deprodded Katarzyna Kozyra, which was easy to get up to a decent stub, and Jacek Yerka. The second of those is still weak against the normal tests of multiple/independent/reliable text sources, but his art is out there being sold on commercial websites and being talked about by fans, so IMO it would deserve the AFD route. --Mereda 16:24, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I think the point about Kozyra's exhibitions is that the multiple sources have depth, there's text about the work and some bio details. I've added a bit more that was easy to find about her. Where I'd agree with with you that hanging a few pictures=trivial is where the sources lack depth. --Mereda 18:26, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

HMS Hood

Witam Czy mógłbyś przenieść hasło HMS Hood (disambiguation) w miejsce redirektu HMS Hood ? Ono było tam wczesniej ale któryś z wikipedystów przeniósł to do disamblinga argumentując to tym, że większość linków dotyczy krążownika liniowego, na który teraz pokazuje redirekt HMS Hood.

Zasadą na wiki (nie tylko angielskiej, ale tutaj przed wszystkim) jest umieszczanie haseł opisujących kilka okrętów noszących tą samą nazwę pod hasłem HMS XXX, albo USS XXX. Przykładowo: jeżeli było kilka(naście) okrętów noszących nazwę HMS Enterprise to główne hasło jest spisem tych okrętów a hasła konkretnych okrętów są inaczej nazwane. W przypadku amerykańskich okrętów List of United States Navy ships, A jest to ładnie pokazane - w głównym haśle jest krótki opis - a w bocznych konkretny okręt. I nikogo nie interesuje które jest bardziej popularne a które nie.

W związku z tym napisał bym ten tekst po angielski - ale poprzednia próba moim zdaniem nie była udana, a tym razem chcę żeby to było zrobione. Swoją drogą - są jasno określone reguły nazywania, a ludzie i tak przenoszą według swojego widzimisię. Czasem się dziwie. Jeszcze. --Pmgpmg 17:14, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Acha jeszcze jedna sprawa USS Tennessee (BB-43) - pierwszy raz taki podział widzę na części. Widzę że to jest stary tekst - ale czy tak powinno być ?--Pmgpmg 19:04, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Your removal of information

Probably you "missed" it, but the word, which you and your close ally user:Lysy, trying to remove [6] [7] is directly referenced by English sources. M.K. 13:30, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

So, may question - why are you deleting referenced formulation? M.K. 13:01, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Can you explain how third party English source can be not neutral? And how did you come to this conclusion? And such formulation, which was removed, is not limited with one EN source. BTW, i can't asses you link because it shows only summary. M.K. 10:15, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

I still waiting for answers. M.K. 09:41, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

No, I did not found any answers concurring your motives removing referenced information, quite contrary provided policy suggest that it should be included. So I am waiting for more specific answers from your. And another question, after this brilliant expansion of sentence by you {which saw the previous 18 years as Polish occupation of its capital}, which had same referenced formulation around one week later you identified part of it as POV pushing, but it was perfectly fine formulation when you expanded the sentence. Is it not strange that after week formulation became POV? M.K. 11:39, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Przetłumaczenie

W takim razie proszę o przetłumaczenie (dokładne, nie unikając oskarżeń - bo wiem że zawsze nie dokładnie tłumaczyłeś moje teksty :): "User:R9tgokunks (User:Hrödberäht) od dłuższego czasu ciągle mnie gnębi. Mieliśmy oboje konflikt, a że mam słabą znajomość języka angielskiego to R9tgokunks znalazł sobie ofiarę, która ma małą możliwość obrony. Użytkownik ten najpierw stworzył stronę: User:R9tgokunks\User:LUCPOL którą następnie skopiował na RFI. Na RFI z pomocą tłumaczy udało mi się te sprawy wyjaśnić, administratorzy zamknęli te RFI a User:R9tgokunks teraz gdzie tylko może opiera się na stronie User:R9tgokunks\User:LUCPOL bez uwzględnienia mojej obrony na RFI. To jest trolling i manipulacja. Po za tym on ciągle próbuje przekonać innych do moich (rzekomo) wandalizmów, ciągle powiela te same stare i wyjaśnione już sprawy, ciągle sprawdza moje edycje i edytuje artykuły o których nie ma pojęcia, ale które ja edytowałem. Ciągle mnie inwigiluje. Zakłada kategorie [8] dla IP, które rzekomo są pacynkami. Każdy z nas ma IP i u nikogo nie pisze nic o pacynkach. Ten użytkownik mnie gnębi, przez niego nie potrafię normalnie edytować wikipedii. Użytkownik ten nie jest świętoszkiem jakiego udaje, oprócz banów za 3RR ma również na koncie wiele!!! wojen edycyjnych z ostatnich kilku tygodni co mogę udowodnić (ale tylko w języku polskim). Proszę zatem o pomoc, bowiem User:R9tgokunks ciągle mnie gnębi". LUCPOL 19:06, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I would not support and stick up for Lucpol, on his arbcom case there are 26 diffs supporting our case on his disruption. Plus he is currently creating false sockpuppet categories to potray other uses, and he is costantly trolling and disrupting userpages. Please see the list of diffs on the arbcom case. Retiono Virginian 19:22, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

He has violated 3RR on User:R9tgokunks userpage in the last half hour with constant personal attacks. Also mass reverting the fake sockpuppet categories, he is lying to you. Retiono Virginian 19:36, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Do przetłumaczenia odnośnie tekstu User:Retiono Virginian [9]: "Te IP mają podobny styl co User:R9 oraz te IP kłóciło się tak samo jak R9 w tych samych artykułach. User:Retiono Virginian rewertuje moje edycje co do suckpuppet R9 co jest czystym wandalizmem. Podejrzane jest też, że mimo manipulacji R9 ciągle mnie atakujesz i bronisz R9.

Intelligent Design FA

I'm not aware that there is particular spread of Intelligent design (as opposed to creationism) much beyond the US, UK, or Australia. Am I wrong here? I know there was a Polish creationist in Nature (or was it Science?) recently, but I wasn't aware he was part of the ID movement, which is narrower.Adam Cuerden ^talk 22:19, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I've made a start. I suspect there's more to say, but it at least hints at a worldwide view - my personal suspicion is that as ID is largely a way of getting around American restrictions on teaching of religion, it's been either hit by antipathy for creationism in the more liberal countries, or the necessary refusal to look at who the designer might be has demoted it to arguements to prop up creationism with in more religious countries. There's probably something in there of interest, but it's OR. Adam Cuerden ^talk 05:41, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

The trouble with Maciej Giertych is that, while clearly a creationist, Intelligent Design is a small subset of creationism. Of course there have been creationism debates in most countries, but unless someone says the words Intelligent Design, it's probably best to put it in the Creationism article instead.

(Also, I only speak English, though I can just about read Spanish and German, and basic Norwegian - I'm useless at French and Polish, so it may be I'm missing something in those particular links. If so, forgive me.) Adam Cuerden ^talk 06:44, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

I've dug a bit further: If he's saying that dinosaurs and man co-existed, we should probably count him as a Young-earth creationist - right nutter, sounds like, but possibly not suited for this article. Adam Cuerden ^talk 06:54, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Right. I've done some digging - there have been definite evidence of Creationism throughout Europe, but I'm not finding anything else on Intelligent Design. Best new material I've found since my last revision is this - which is awfully weak. Adam Cuerden ^talk 17:53, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Please stop removing tags as you did many times such as [14],[15] you have been warned by different contributors and mediators do not do this. Please stop. M.K. 10:24, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Stop this outrages accusation! Your accusation as “nobody but you supported and without explaining the reasons for them on talk pages” is ends only looking on these different edits [16] [17] . Different contributors suggested to stop your one sided actions [18] as well as [19] it is clear disruption of wikipedia and as you say if you continue such behavior you may find your behavior reported and yourself blocked. Removal of valid information and classify as POV pushing even then sources are provided is not tolerated. Your tactics nobody supports, only user: Darwinek reverted by hiding under mirror edit with summary “format” [20]. While my statements were presented on talk with refs [21] you failed to produce any refs which could denounce presented claims; instead of finding them you started to deleting info which you do not like [22], even more you managed to “accidentally” misinterpreted your own source in your language calming about Polish POW`s [23], while in reality were was no such , even more started see it as personal - "especially for Dr. Dan." I regard you answer, left on my talk, as continues mocking and disruption; stop such behavior and start improving your image until is not too late. M.K. 13:03, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Belarus and Good Article status

I am not sure how, but someone from the countries wikiproject made the article rated "Good Article." Honestly, I am still a bit confused by the GA stauts and I need to see if others want to look at it and see if it actually is GA worthty (or an honest typo). But thanks for taking a peek anyways. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 03:59, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I took your suggestion and sent the article to Good Article Review. I will see what happens after that, but I honestly believe that if it is not ready for FA, then it is pretty close. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 04:22, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

The last FA you did was pretty amazing. From looking at the article, I might need to incoporate some audio into the Belarus article, mainly how to pronounce the name of the country. I checked with the CIA and most of the population data is correct. I am not sure if Belarus had any border issues with Poland, but that could be worth mentioning.

Hello Piotrus! Would you mind taking a look at Iława? A jazz festival was recently added there, but I'm not sure if it should be integrated into the text or should be removed outright. Olessi 04:01, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Fab. Starachowice ODP.

Z tego co wiem fabryka uzbrojenia była jedynie częścią działalności "Starachowickich Zakładów Górniczych" . Prawdopodobnie chodzi tu Panu o Zakłady Mechaniczne (produkcja obejmowała m.in. uzbrojenie). W skład Zakładów Górniczych wchodził też Wydział Amunicji produkujący pociski. Posiadał on własną elaborację do napełniania pocisków ładunkiem wybuchowym.

There are three proposals which need some comments. Please weigh in:

• Moving the LGBT Barnstar

Two of the three are sensitive, and thuglas is taking the whole process personally. Finally, there has never been a standard for how much support is needed for the creation of a barnstar.

I happened to notice your message at Portal talk:Poland/Poland-related Wikipedia notice board#Wikipedia:Deletion review/Daniel Brandt.

polish mafia

I do not apreciate you calling the polish mafia nonsencewhen you obiouisly know nothing about it. I'm sure you think you know everything but you don't, you can't prove to me or anyone else that there's not a polish mafia or that it wasn't formed the way that I explained it in my article unless you are a part of it (which I'm not but it made a good story). I took time out of my day to write that story and there are many people that would enjoy reading it but now they don't have the chance to read it because you who obiously know everything deleted it.

Tag removal

I was a little surprised by your reason for removing the tag I placed on the stub, Mikhail Kovalov. The only intent was to flag a stub in order to encourage editor(s) to improve the article. An external link probably could have been provided in the time it took to remove the tag. Happy editing! --Stormbay 21:13, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

• Your point is well taken! I often tag and watch the article when it is a subject that catches my interest, (as this one did). I often return to work on these articles myself at a later date. I hope that my note above did not sound snippy as I was genuinely curious as to why the tag was removed. Cheers! and thanks for your prompt reply. --Stormbay 21:33, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Go board image: FPC

here's an edit. I didn't upload it onto the FPC because I figured its a bit late in the voting. If you want to put it on there feel free.

Edit Fcb981

I saw the request for a edit of: Image:Go Board, Hoge Rielen, Belgium.jpg. I cut out the background, added some slight color effects to the black pieces and adjusted the color balance. It retains the high resolution of the origenal without the background. A few things to note:

• Instead of croping out the shadow on the lower left of the board I clone stamped over it so the croping is somewhat different.
• The background cutout has no errors or faults that I can see as oposed to the other edit.
• I didn't adjust the color as drasticly as the other for verious reasons but I would be happy to do so if you want.

Wesele

May I ask you to move The Wedding (1972 film) to Wesele for the sake of simplicity? There’s no article on the play by Wyspiański and yet, the spoiler for the film reveals its entire plot with ending details. “Wesele” is the original title of the 1901 play by Wyspiański on which movie by Wajda (1972) was based. In case of a naming conflict, the title can be expanded in future articles on the same subject, which is unlikely considering, that the story line is already explained. One good example of a similar simplification is Being There with two paralel meanings. Is a well known movie based on a well known book, combined into one article. Both are closely related.

BTW - The Wedding (2004 film) made by Smarzowski is a modern comedy that has nothing to do with "Wesele" by Wyspiański and the Young Poland movement, or Wajda. It does not have to be disambiguated at par. For example, at the Internet Movie Database it goes by the title "Wesele (2004)" and that's the way it could also be named in Wikipedia. [33] Thanks for the understanding. --Poeticbent  talk  23:09, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Extra Edit Buttons

This is a message to a number of Wikipedians. If you wish to reply to this message please do so on my talk page.

Extra edit buttons has received a significant update today. The most significant change is the introduction of popups for some of these buttons. These are small dialog forms which float over the web page. They allow the user to specify the details of the markup code they want added to the page. For example the popup for the table button allows the user to specify things such as the number of the rows and columns in a table and whether or not there should be a header row. As well as the popups there are some extra buttons and other changes to the way the code works. The documentation for XEB will be updated over the next few days.

This new version also includes an extra button, as requested by yourself, to insert warning templates into a uesr's talk page. The documentation will be updated to cover this button in the next few days

Some interesting stuff about Piłsudski

Hi, Piotrus, and sorry for not picking up on previous issues (I'm caught up in some other stuff). Since you seem the Polish contributor most interested in Romanian-Polish connections, and since you have contributed to expanding information about the period I'll be referring to, I thought you would be most capable of evaluating whether this info is noteworthy and where it should fit in articles (if at all).

While I was researching the article on Constantin Stere (I'm only halfway through), I came accross an intersting tidbit on Józef Piłsudski. Presumably, this could be included in the article on the man as well. This is it, in my phrasing:

In 1889, while in Krasnoyarsk, Piłsudski shared his exile with Constantin Stere, a Bessarabia-n born Romanian author and politician. The two remained friends for the rest of their lives; Stere included the Polish leader, under the name Stadnicki, as a character in his account of the Siberian sojourn, the novel În preajma revoluţiei ("On the Eve of the Revolution").

(Feel free to rephrase and split the above as you see fit)

The reference for both sentences is: Z. Ornea, Viaţa lui C. Stere, Vol. I, Cartea Românească, Bucharest, 1989, p.113 (red links are pending articles, so it's best not to remove them if you decide to use it).

I do not want to impose on the article (though I cannot help to notice that it needs several copyedits), and I don't know where in it this info could go (for example, perhaps asection on "Józef Piłsudski in literature" or "in art" or "in popular culture" could be created, but I don't know if you main contributors will consider that probable or necessary). Tell me what you think about. Oh, and in case you decide to use it, please let me know where it is: I haven't finished the Ornea books, and there may be more detail on this later on. Dziękuję.

Filing of request for arbitration re: move of Juozas Lukoševičius to Józef Łukaszewicz

I plan to file a request for arbitration. A mediator at Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/Possible bad faith in use of citations involved in the move of Juozas Lukoševičius to Józef Łukaszewicz stated that bad faith issues should be handled by arbitration. Novickas 14:19, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Case filed: [34] Novickas 18:55, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Case closed: [35]

Per WP:DR, the steps in disputes are: discuss on the talk page, sleep on it, ask for mediation, ask for arbitration. These steps were followed. My eyes were open: I know that bad faith issues aren't covered in WP policy; the hope was to spur some evolution. Novickas 00:33, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

The page Wikipedia:Resolving disputes listed the informal mediation cabal as the step before RFC; the mediator cabalist's comment was "Allegations of bad faith are probably more appropriate for arbitration than mediation."[36] I now see that the cabalist probably meant "Go to RFC as a form of arbitration", but in my inexperience I interpreted the comment as "Go to RFA".

Anything you can do to help educate Ukrained (talk · contribs)?

Ukrained

Thanks for your comments, Piotrus. I respectfully disagree, as IMHO, this is indeed a personal attack:

To Irpen: AlexPU was recently blocked for frank discussion of your "Ukrainian patriotism", so I'll refrain from a similar attempt. After all, who knows how many "embedded admins" have you recruited or lobbied (I already know two Russian ones threatening me, and two DYK foreigners that just "look away"). Instead I'll try to concentrate on your permanent breaches of WP rules (yes, this IS threat and warning). But PLEASE DON'T CALL ME YOUR "BUDDY", I CONSIDER IT AS A PERSONAL ATTACK AND TROLLING. Thank you all, Ukrained 21:39, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I explained to him earlier that he should be focusing on discussing the article, not other editors. If this and other comments he made didn't violate WP:NPA, then they certainly violated WP:CIVIL. As for AlexPU, I blocked him for 2 weeks based on his block log (all the blocks were for personal attacks), and the fact that he had just come off a one week-block.

On an entirely different matter, I noticed parts of the Przasnysz article (such as the dates, etc.) are still in Polish. Is there any chance you could translate them to English? Thanks, Khoikhoi 18:53, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

• There are three things going on here. First, Ukrained has been incivil and has edit warred. He needs to be gently informed that this is not acceptable, by someone he will not immediately denounce as being in the cabal (TINC). Piotrus seemed to me like a good candidate for that job. Second, he has concerns with content, and needs help putting his point across without pissing everybody off and getting blocked again. Piotrus can probably help here, too, as Piotrus (unlike me) understands the underlying content issues. No doubt you, Khoikhoi, can also help, but he won't listen to you because you are "in the Cabal" (TINC). Third, he is agitating about being blocked. I think it's a righteous block given his behaviour. I don't believe Khoikhoi was in a content dispute with Ukrained at the time, so I don't see any reason that another admin should have done it, but either way a block was justified. Probably for others, too. So if Piotrus and Khoikhoi can work together perhaps the fighting can be stopped. Guy (Help!) 19:32, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

I wonder whether Piotrus took even time to read Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive212#Personal Attacks by User:Ukrained or he just rushed to defend a user based on the "enemy of my enemy" logic. Anyway, I will make a point of Piotrus' suddenly grown tolerance towards aggressive trolling and will hope that he will extend this not only to pushers of the "right" POV. So, we are to see less of Piotrus' complaints all around Wikipedia aimed at sanctioning his content opponents.

Finally, it would be a poor precedent to insist on removing of the blocking admin from the right to deal with the user simply because the user actively trolled the admin in response. There were no edit conflicts whatsoever. There is no evidence that Khoi conspired with anyone either. Otherwise, we open a path to a total immunity by some who simply post "all admins are dicks" at their talk pages. --Irpen 05:30, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, could you please check Mattheads edits like this [38], he is pushing german translations all over the inapropriate places. ≈Tulkolahten≈^≈talk≈ 09:10, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

New article announcements

I have noticed that on 4 March 2007 User:Umedard created a stub called Krościenko nad Dunajcem. It is quite unfortunate that the user does not have the habit of checking for existing articles first. Besides, the title of the article is written in Polish, not in English. Please see also: Krościenko. I'm letting you know about this because you placed his stub at Portal:Poland/New article announcements on 12 March 2007. --Poeticbent  talk  18:43, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Can you remove this redirect? [39] I think it is mean spirited, created only to prove a point in the days gone by. --Poeticbent  talk  06:01, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

List of Polish Jews

Stumbled upon a little clique of identically editing users trying to make up their own definition of "Polish Jew" on there. None make an effort to provide a reference for all the people they keep returning as Polish. Appreciate some comments. Same measures worked out fine on List of Poles and List of Polish painters though, as expected. LeszekB 14:39, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

A misunderstanding

In your list of Poles you have listed two different people called Józef Bielawski. Now you have a link to Józef Bielawski because I have created an article about him. The problem is that I have created an article about Józef Bielawski - the Islamic scholar and not about Józef Bielawski - the violinist, or Józef Bielawski - the writer. I suggest we create a disambiguation page to solve this problem. Kkrystian 15:25 (UTC) 16 January 2007

Witam!

Proszę spojżec na historię tych artykułów. Moim zdaniem User:Deutscher Patriot powinien zostac przynajmniej ostrzeżony przez admina lub zablokowany(jestem za).

Proszę o reakcję. Pozdrawiam. Medard

Notes in small print

I have a question - how to make a list of notes, or references (like at the end of the Poland prehistory article I'm working on) make appear in small print? Also how to have a date and time automatically appended to the signature (like the one below)?
