Hello. You reverted my edit to the etymology section in the article about Warsaw 29 August 2023. Could we please discuss it? What Wikipedia rules did my edit violate? I did provide a source and I think my edit was accurately worded and based on an academic research by a Polish linguist. It might be useful for readers. Your comment for the revert said the information was not constructive and had no source. Denghu ( talk) 13:52, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
I have to say the Gdańsk vote perhaps is an outdated and questionable rule that may need to be revisited. I don't see similar "rules" for Belarus, Ukraine or any other country's city/location in other articles, where such a rule is being push around. At the most at the top of the article, you have other city names in parentheses and that's it. See Vilnius, Helsinki, Lviv, etc. It's just this POV-ish chauvinistic mentality exhibited by some around anything remotely connected to Germany. -- E-960 ( talk) 12:14, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi Merangs! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Sweden that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Re this. In English, you are right, but the infobox does say "Krai of Russian Empire" and it was Kraj / край. Anyway, see the RM at Talk:Western Krai, and cry with me over the terrible state of Krais of the Russian Empire entry...

What was wrong with my changes? Second Polish Republic didn't end on October 6, 1939 and didn't start on Nov 6, 1918. It's proper to inform that the offical name was different Marcelus ( talk) 00:33, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article John I Albert you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Borsoka -- Borsoka ( talk) 12:28, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
Can you please explain what is wrong with the so called "Wikipuffery" I did on the page? Romania is indeed considered an emerging middle power, has the fastest and cheapest fixed internet speeds in the world, and also, it's the happiest country in Eastern Europe, its rank increasing by every report each year.
Look at other pages such as Singapore, South Korea, and also Poland where there is much more "puffery" than Romania. Julian.exe ( talk) 13:46, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
The article John I Albert you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:John I Albert for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Borsoka -- Borsoka ( talk) 03:01, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

Why did you merge SB article ( Służba Bezpieczeństwa) into the MBP article ( Ministry of Public Security (Poland)) back in the 2020? This were two completely different organisations that didn't even overlap in time. MBP ceased to exist in 1954, SB was created in 1954. I'm literally furious right now. Marcelus ( talk) 21:12, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
I'm doing that. Kartacze have some (but not strong) connection to Podlachia. Sękacz has no connection to Podlachia whatsoever. Both Kartacze and Sękacz are traditional dishes of Suwalszczyzna (Suwałki region/Suvalkija). Using the term "podlachia" to refer to the entire Podlaskie voivodeship is not only untrue, but also harmful to the region. Podlachian section should either be renamed (to Podlaskie or to "Podlachia and Suwałki region") or the reference to Sękacz should be removed from it. LEJ PO ŁYMPIE ( talk) 23:03, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
Рlease explain why you removed the portrait? You wrote: "no such title, is this needed?" - The reason for the removal is not clear. Lanamy ( talk) 11:40, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Do you know how to get rid of the ISO 3166 code in the Civitas Schinesghe infobox? E-960 ( talk) 13:17, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
I was curious as to your reasoning for only including alternate city names, specifically with regard to Thorn and Bromberg, in the footnotes alone. When viewing other similar city such a precedent appears to be absent and any alternate names are displayed in the first line alongside the most common name. Is there a precedent towards this formatting that dictates that this is the optimal method? Ben Unis ( talk) 13:23, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
Gents, this is starting to look like a slow burn edit war. Please leave the article alone and take the discussion to the talk page. See WP:EDITWAR. Martin of Sheffield ( talk) 22:48, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
Hi, just wanted to say thank you for your more recent edits at
kutia. This is much more constructive than deleting the entire section. I appreciate that you have reconsidered that and instead took time to edit it with valuable changes/additions. Cheers and have a good one!

Salutations. I've noticed you've deleted the picture of the granaries on the Brda river in Bydgoszcz with the comment that it's "too large". Care to explain further? As a person who uploaded the pic, I can change the resolution if that's what's you'd like. But deleting the most symbolic place of the city from the collage and calling it a day makes little sense.

Why is the wording "not the best?"
The partitions of Poland was a genocide of the country by it's German and Russian neighbors. 91.217.105.54 ( talk) 15:45, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
So it's in the footnotes. So what? Why hide it down there? It needs to be in the lead paragraph for modern-day readers who out of ignorance may assume, as previously said, that "Stettin" was simply the German version of Szczecin. In fact, as I'm sure you are well aware, Stettin was the name of the town before 1945. That's fairly recent history – within living memory. Furthermore, the Polish and former German names are pronounced very differently!
What's wrong with historical transparency right up front? Afraid to admit that the place was annexed from Germany (at Stalin's behest), even though it's west of the Oder?
Everyone knows that Germany was the unimaginably horrific aggressor in WWII, but that's not the point. The point is that after the war was over, civilians were forcibly removed from their hometown. Absolutely no one today is talking about present-day Germany trying to get the place back. What are you afraid of? History?
