Those on the email page about the Wola Piotrowa page - please read the editorial comments to understand the editorial situation that I mentioned on the thread. Thanks for helping to monitor this situation and protect Lemko genealogical and village history information. TLP will continue to update village history information and ensure balance.
Clearly, there is an "editor" on the page who is injecting language that creates false implications about the history of Lemkos. Lemkos weren't "repatriated" anywhere. Lemko citizens of Poland were forcibly expelled to either Soviet Ukraine or to former German territories in Western Poland (Silesia, Pomerania, Prussia, etc.) On the talk page, I noticed that editor "Volunteer Marek" has a track record of editing from the perspective of Polish activism, which should not be tolerated by Wikimedia because we are attempting to present the objective history of ethnic cleansing in Poland, and all of the information that I have included on the page is defensible. If there's a problem with this, I will be happy to have a discussion about it, but am adamant that factual information should not be changed and inappropriate terms such as "repatriation" are used. Lemkos were not "repatriated" to Ukraine or anywhere else. They were citizens of Poland who were forcibly deported from their homes. In addition, some Lemkos were murdered by Polish communists. Anything to suggest a repatriation occurred is an outright falsification of history.
I am filing a formal complaint with Wikimedia to resolve these issues and protect the information on the page, ensuring that the history is represented correctly.
What you said made no sense. What gives you the right to make decisions on what information can and can't be included? This genealogy information is valuable because these were small villages with names associated from Krasovsky's book. It is pertinent to Lemko history and Lemkos appreciate the information being included there. TLP is "The Lemko Project" - we are a team of researchers who have extensive knowledge about the history of these villages and an extensive network of people who do care about the content being included on this page. So if you want to argue about it, let me know and we can go into arbitration or whatever it takes.
Marek - you're entitled to your opinion. I'm not an activist, so the article about UPA is relevant to some members of TLP's audience who do not view UPA as "terrorists." Just remember, whether or not someone is a "patriot" or "terrorist" has a lot to do with whether or not they were the victors of the war. We went to the restaurant and we thought that the pyrohi were pretty good. :) What would be distasteful is a restaurant that celebrates the history of communism or nazism, because those groups had the most direct impact on violence toward Ukrainians, Rusyns, Poles, Jews and other minorities in the region. That point gets lost in the squabbles between Polish and Ukrainian patriots, who like to point fingers at each other. UPA is an inextricable part of the history surrounding Akcja Wisla and the related operations (you'll forgive me for being too lazy to omit Polish diacritical marks and squiggles ...I simply don't feel like it) but blaming UPA for the displacement or damage to one or more ethnic groups demonstrates a very limited perspective (and perhaps awareness) of history, which was my point to the writer of that post. I think, however, that her issue is more that she's an activist type. Corinna Caudill ( talk) 19:30, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Yes - the problem was that I'd forgotten my login and PW but I found it now, so no worries. I've tried to go back and sign some of it on the Bukowsko page. Corinna Caudill ( talk) 19:04, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
