Dear Piotrus, thank you for reviewing my site on (Władysław Grydziuszko), I believe that I need to cite the sources, I have a record of his was stories/citations via documents given to me by R.A.F, how am I able to submit this information if it is many pages and letters??
Thank you in advance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Silent99 ( talk • contribs) 05:46, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Is there a uniform format for people associated with Polish Universities? Eg, in Category:Jagiellonian University, there is Category:Alumni of Jagiellonian University (though I think this would be better called Category:Jagiellonian University alumni), but no Category:Jagiellonian University faculty. On the other hand, Category:University of Warsaw has what I would expect in terms of faculty/alumni (for the longest of times, even that was not good, but it finally got fixed a couple of months ago). As for Warsaw University of Technology, it's a mess: no cat for the University per se, no cat for faculty (no one notable there since 1826?), only the poorly named Category:Alumni of Warsaw University of Technology, with a single alumnus (!). At any rate, I could go on, but let me stop. This is a bit frustrating, since I run all the time into articles where I would like to fit in such cats -- for some countries, this is very well done, for other much less so. I'm willing to help if there is interest in this, but I figure I'd better ask you first, see what you think. Have a happy 2008! Turgidson ( talk) 18:49, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Not quite what I meant - I meant that reporting on it was probably going to be in Polish, since I'm not aware of many English-language newspapers, etc, that report on books in foreign languages at all, and Polish is somewhat of a minority language. In other words - it's of interest to readers, but Wikipedia is breaking ground here to cover it pre-rtranslation (which I hope it gets), so the fellow criticising it for the references in Polish was wrong, as we should judge the quality of sourcing in the context of the Polish sci-fi scene, not apply the standards of the English sci-fi scene.

Hello Piotr! I merged Silesian Province into Duchy of Silesia and expanded it a little bit. I took the medieval subdivision from de:Herzogtum Schlesien. Could you check on the 1163 info about Władysław II the Exile? Silesian Province had said he recovered the duchy in 1063, but I changed this to 1163. However, his article says he died in 1159.

A small number of your comments of late seem to have gone over the line from constructive to snide. Specifically, the comment made here, which is uncivil and an assumption of bad faith.

Hello fellow Wikipedia administrators open to recall category member! |
---|
I am leaving you this message because recent events have given me concern. When Aaron Brenneman and I, and others, first developed this category well over a year ago, we visualized it as a simple idea. A low hassle, low bureaucracy process. We also visualized it as a process that people would come to trust, in fact as a way of increasing trust in those admins who chose to subscribe to the notion of recall. The very informal approach to who is qualified to recall, what happens during it, and the process in general were all part of that approach. But recent events have suggested that this low structure approach may not be entirely effective. More than one of the recent recalls we have seen have been marred by controversy around what was going to happen, and when. Worse, they were marred by some folk having the perception, rightly or wrongly, that the admin being recalled was trying to change the rules, avoid the process, or in other ways somehow go back on their word. This is bad. It's bad for you the admin, bad for the trust in the process, and bad for the community as a whole. I think a way to address this issue is to increase the predictability of the process in advance. I have tried to do that for myself. In my User:Lar/Accountability page, I have given pretty concrete definitions of the criteria for recall, and of the choices I can make, and of the process for the petition, and of the process for other choices I might make (the modified RfC or the RfAr). I think it would be very helpful if other admins who have voluntarily made themselves subject to recall went to similar detail. It is not necessary to adopt the exact same conditions, steps, criteria, etc. It's just helpful to have SOME. Those are mine, fashion yours as you see fit, I would not be so presumptuous as to say mine are right for you. In fact I urge you not to just adopt mine, as I do change them from time to time without notice, but instead develop your own. You are very welcome to start with mine if you so wish, though. But do something. If you have not already, I urge you to make your process more concrete, now, while there is no pressure and you can think clearly about what you want. Do it now rather than later, during a recall when folk may not react well to perceived changes in process or commitment. Further, I suggest that after you document your process, that you give a reference to it for the benefit of other admins who may want to see what others have done. List it in this table as a resource for the benefit of all. If you use someone else's by reference rather than copy, I suggest you might want to do as Cacharoth did, and give a link to a specific version. Do you have to do these things? Not at all. These are suggestions from me, and me alone, and are entirely up to you to embrace or ignore. I just think that doing this now, thinking now, documenting now, will save you trouble later, if you should for whatever reason happen to be recalled. I apologise if this message seems impersonal, but with over 130 members in the category, leaving a personal message for each of you might not have been feasible, and I feel this is important enough to violate social norms a bit. I hope that's OK. Thanks for your time and consideration, and best wishes. Larry Pieniazek NOTE: You are receiving this message because you are listed in the Wikipedia administrators open to recall category. This is a voluntary category, and you should not be in it if you do not want to be. If you did not list yourself, you may want to review the change records to determine who added you, and ask them why they added you. |
...My guinea pigs and the "A"s through "O"s having felt this message was OK to go forward with (or at least not complained bitterly to me about it :) ), today it's the turn of the "P"s through "S"s! I'm hoping that more of you chaps/chapettes will point to their own criteria instead of mine :)... it's flattering but a bit scary! :) Also, you may want to check back to the table periodically, someone later than you in the alphabet may have come up with a nifty new idea. ++ Lar: t/ c 04:17, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

First of all, thanks for your comment, having been on Wikipedia for a long time, I know you as a responsible and sensitive contributor. Despite that, I was a bit surprised by your warning. I am sure you are aware that some users on Wikipedia, regardless of their nationality, edit Wikipedia with a nationalist agenda. If memory doesn't fail me, we have both been involved in a couple of disputes with some Russian users engaged in such actions. It is my belief that users who only try to paint their own nation in the most positive pictures are not contributing as well as they could on Wikipedia. Of course every contributor is always welcome, but you know just as well as I do that many edit wars are fought precisely over this issue - nationalists from two sides who clash with each other. Regarding Poeticbent, I stand behind my words. He gladly deletes content if it's not favouring Poland and I don't particularly likes his habit of taking legitimate warnings and moving them to the user pages of those who had issue them. May I respectfully ask how you would consider a Russian user who deleted content not favouring Russia and, if warned by you, pasted your warning on your own talk page?

Piotrus,
Today I tried to add a citation to the page about Jozef Haller. I do not know if I was successful. I got your message of acknowledgement. Thank you.
Please let me know if I did it correctly.
The maps that I uploaded to the Internet on my website from the Battle of Warsaw are all over Wikipedia. Unfortunately, I cannot take credit for them. The are from the book Cud ha Wisla by Arciszewski. I'd like to learn how to do this correctly so I can add all the appropriate citations to the articles on Wiki. I'd hate to be accused of academic dishonesty when I am so close to my PhD.

Thanks for uploading Image:Map of battle of Kostiuchnowka 1916.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Aqwis ( talk – contributions) 23:07, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
I am inclined to say "< something > Lordship", but I do not know of an accurate way of translated the word or idea of Standes-. I don't think "state country" is a construction which has ever been used in English. The idea in English is that a country is a type of state as it is and since the idea of state and country overlap, combining them as a term in English doesn't make so much sense. "Free state" might be an idea, but I would look for a term which is closer to one used for immediate states, rather than something that is mediatized. This article de:Standesherr (Deutscher Bund) links back to mediatization. Autonomous lordship maybe? If the English term cannot be determined, I would use either the German or the Polish form, which ever appears more in English literature. Charles 20:59, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Would you please do something to restrain your compatriots? In their zeal to prevent this purely historical article from mentioning its title, they have now three times introduced statements which will (to any English-speaker who is simply trying to read the article) outright falsehood. This is difficult enough to explain without this sort of thing.
If necessary, I will simply tag the article as inaccurate; but if I do, I shall also pursue other modes of dispute resolution, which they are likely to find less agreeable. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 22:04, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Please consider doing an edit yourself; I am not enamoured of my wording, but I would like to see the facts back. At that point, I can continue researching the Hochbergs, seeing when they became Princes, and if the German Wikipedia is right they became Dukes in the Prussian peerage in 1905. (The facts should be clear enough from my edit, and PB has substantially quoted one of my sources.) Septentrionalis PMAnderson 23:23, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
I've left a note to Molobo trying to explain what I actually want. Could you remind him that some users are genuinely neutral, and trying to write articles about the facts in comprehensible English? We Andersons are neither German nor Polish.
And could you disabuse him of the notion that "claims" is neutral?
I am tempted to write an RFC strictly on the question of whether rewriting an article in order to remove the article title is advisable. Would you be willing to endorse this?
I really don't want to go further; sanctions against unreasonable Poles will only encourage unreasonable Germans. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 18:33, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Could you unite the two paragraphs about Germanization, and deal with Molobo's hysterical tag about a book he has not read? If it is still there in 24 hours, I will take further steps. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 19:09, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Welcome and thanks for joining/clarifying your active status in the Polish history task force. As you probably have noticed, we are undergoing a reorganization after a substantial period of inactivity and a loss of membership followed by renewed interest and the organization of Wikipedia:WikiProject History. As you are aware, we have recently merged the even less active Polish History Project into Wikipedia:WikiProject European history/Polish history task force, I notice several new members of the project with that area of interest, I've already suggested to them that they also join the task force, but you might encourage them as well if you have an interest in getting that going. As you probably noticed, I've suggested that editors discuss any ideas you have at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject European history rather than at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject European history/Polish history task force - but please, when you think there are enough active members of the task force to justify it acting more or less independently, remove that message and start discussing Polish history there. Please though, contribute any ideas you have about the overall organization of the project and review our Strategy page if you get a chance.

Thanks for uploading Image:MONIAC.JPG. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Liftarn ( talk) 07:38, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Hej Piotrus! Zastanawiam się czy nie zekować tego hasła, które nie wnosi absolutnie nic nowego do Wikipedii. To jest po prostu dubel. Czy możesz mnie przekonać, że jednak hasło powinno pozostać?

An editor has nominated Polish culture during World War II, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Polish culture during World War II and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 16:14, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Piotruś
Thank you. The point is there existed two 'Warsaw districts' of AK:
(1) the larger one, until beginning 1942 "District of Warsaw - Voivodship" then "Area of Warsaw" it covered ca pre-war Voivodeship of Warsaw excluding Warsaw itself and its suburbs (the Powiat of Warsaw), and
(2) the smaller one, called also "District of Warsaw - City" included the Powiat of Warsaw including Warsaw within administrative borders.
Forms of names show variations, there were also codenames in use. In the table Armia_Krajowa#Structure_and_membership the (1) is specified on the top as "Warsaw Area", the (2) below under "independent areas" - "Warsaw".
The duality is confusing, I was also confused.

Witaj
Podstawowym źródłem do dziejów Władysława Białego pozostaje Janko z Czarnkowa, który rozdziale 45 pisze: Tegoż roku (1379) ... Ludwik wypłacił ... w mieście Gdańsku, dnia 20 października, księciu Władysławowi Białemu resztę pieniędzy, które za ziemie gniewkowską był winien ... Otrzymawszy je książę Biały pokwitowania czyli listów zeznawczych dać nie chciał, i udał się, ze szczupłym orszakiem do miasta Lubeki ... i tam pozostał. Co zamyśla dalej - nie wiadomo. Kronikarz nie wie więc nic o jego powrocie do Polski w latach późniejszych, kronikę pisał aż do 1384r. i o księciu wypowiada się wcale obficie.
O fakcie zaś starania się o koronę polską Janko z Czarnkowa nie informuje wprost choć pisze o przybyciu tam opozycji wielkopolskiej przeciwko rządom Andegawenów. W 1373r. Biały opanował zresztą nie tylko ojcowiznę ale i Gniezno, jakby rzeczywiście zamierzał obalić rządy Andegawenów w Polsce, tak zresztą interpretuje to literatura np. Sroka Stanisław, Piastowie. Leksykon Biograficzny, Kraków 1999, s. 247-248. Kandydatem do korony był więc przede wszystkim w 1373r.
Przejrzałem też Lelewela, pisze on tylko (jak jest w artykule na Wiki), że "udał się do papieża roku 1382, trzynastego września sekuralizacją. Mając te akta był okrzykiem przyjęty przez stronników swoich. Lecz za przybyciem Jadwigii ich liczba się zmiejszała a on sam musiał uchodzić. I dalej że tułał się po Niemczech.
Nie ma tam wprost, że przybył do Polski, a jeśli nawet uznać, że to Lelewel miał na myśli to źródła: Janko, czy Długosz nic o tym nie wspominają
Pozdrawiam 62.111.200.202 ( talk) (Zuber) 06:51, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
Władysław Biały pochodził z kujawskiej linii Piastów i jako taki był najbliższym krewnym po mieczu Kazimierza Wielkiego. Kiedy Ludwik Andegaweński został królem polski, początkowo oczy całej opozycji skupionej głównie w Wielkopolsce (działał tutaj m.in. kronikarz Janko z Czarnkowa), skierowała swoje zainteresowanie na wnuka Kazimierza Wielkiego - Kaźko. Ten jednak odmówił walki z Andegawenami. Wtedy naturalnym sojusznikiem opozycji stał się Władysław, któremu już jakiś czas temu sprzykrzył się żywot mnisi. Inna sprawa, że okazało się jak Biały przyjechał do kraju, to ta opozycja okazała się niezbyt liczna. Mimo to z zaskoczenia udało mu się odzyskać ojcowiznę, zajmując przy okazji pogranicze Wielkopolski i Kujaw.

See here. It looks like the purpose is content-generation, so I can't imagine that anybody will have problems; I think people were concerned that it was intended to be an extra-Wikipedian experiment in collaboration, or just a medium of communication between students (like a WebCT, or something), or something. There was an issue a couple of months ago where some Harvard law students injected themselves into Wikipedia dispute resolution as an experiment for class, and some people got their noses out of joint about that, so I think people are just sensitive about this sort of thing. Anyway, thanks for your response, and I hope this is the last you have to hear about this. Sarcasticidealist ( talk) 17:57, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

I made that part of the article clearer, adding some new information and heavily packing it with references. I hope it's fine now.

I'm done... too late for anything more. At least I've honed off some burrs and smoothed a couple of rough edges.
As far as "enjoying it" goes, the snippet strikes me more as an idea to flesh out and hang a storyline on and not so much as a good story itself. Too many artifices of linqual pseudo-tech too quick sans a firm footing to figure where one stands in relation to the revelations. No personality, or quirky history to cause the reader to relate and emphasize with Winnie. Contrast with Heinlein's self-aware computer "Mike"/Mycroft/Michelle in The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress... the difference, as Heinlein noted, is that good stories are about people, even one's made of crystals and whatevers. Thanks for the kudos, glad to lend a different perspective and a hand. // Fra nkB 05:08, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Should Giano make any edits which are judged by an administrator to be uncivil, personal attacks, or assumptions of bad faith, Giano may be blocked for the duration specified in the enforcement ruling. All parties in this case are strongly cautioned to pursue disputes in a civil manner designed to contribute to resolution and to cause minimal disruption. All the involved editors, both the supporters and detractors of IRC, are asked to avoid edit warring on project space pages even if their status is unclear, and are instructed to use civil discussion to resolve all issues with respect to the "admin" IRC channel.

Is there a uniform format for people associated with Polish Universities? Eg, in Category:Jagiellonian University, there is Category:Alumni of Jagiellonian University (though I think this would be better called Category:Jagiellonian University alumni), but no Category:Jagiellonian University faculty. On the other hand, Category:University of Warsaw has what I would expect in terms of faculty/alumni (for the longest of times, even that was not good, but it finally got fixed a couple of months ago). As for Warsaw University of Technology, it's a mess: no cat for the University per se, no cat for faculty (no one notable there since 1826?), only the poorly named Category:Alumni of Warsaw University of Technology, with a single alumnus (!). At any rate, I could go on, but let me stop. This is a bit frustrating, since I run all the time into articles where I would like to fit in such cats -- for some countries, this is very well done, for other much less so.

Hi Piotrus. Perhaps you've already noticed a new proposal against the Volapük Wikipedia: m:Proposals for closing projects/Radical cleanup of Volapük Wikipedia. In case you agree that this proposal is not a good idea, perhaps you could help us fight against it with your vote? Thanks! -- Smeira ( talk) 23:35, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Not quite what I meant - I meant that reporting on it was probably going to be in Polish, since I'm not aware of many English-language newspapers, etc, that report on books in foreign languages at all, and Polish is somewhat of a minority language. In other words - it's of interest to readers, but Wikipedia is breaking ground here to cover it pre-rtranslation (which I hope it gets), so the fellow criticising it for the references in Polish was wrong, as we should judge the quality of sourcing in the context of the Polish sci-fi scene, not apply the standards of the English sci-fi scene.

Hello Piotr! I merged Silesian Province into Duchy of Silesia and expanded it a little bit. I took the medieval subdivision from de:Herzogtum Schlesien. Could you check on the 1163 info about Władysław II the Exile? Silesian Province had said he recovered the duchy in 1063, but I changed this to 1163. However, his article says he died in 1159.

Hello fellow Wikipedia administrators open to recall category member! |
---|
I am leaving you this message because recent events have given me concern. When Aaron Brenneman and I, and others, first developed this category well over a year ago, we visualized it as a simple idea. A low hassle, low bureaucracy process. We also visualized it as a process that people would come to trust, in fact as a way of increasing trust in those admins who chose to subscribe to the notion of recall. The very informal approach to who is qualified to recall, what happens during it, and the process in general were all part of that approach. But recent events have suggested that this low structure approach may not be entirely effective. More than one of the recent recalls we have seen have been marred by controversy around what was going to happen, and when. Worse, they were marred by some folk having the perception, rightly or wrongly, that the admin being recalled was trying to change the rules, avoid the process, or in other ways somehow go back on their word. This is bad. It's bad for you the admin, bad for the trust in the process, and bad for the community as a whole. I think a way to address this issue is to increase the predictability of the process in advance. I have tried to do that for myself. In my User:Lar/Accountability page, I have given pretty concrete definitions of the criteria for recall, and of the choices I can make, and of the process for the petition, and of the process for other choices I might make (the modified RfC or the RfAr). I think it would be very helpful if other admins who have voluntarily made themselves subject to recall went to similar detail. It is not necessary to adopt the exact same conditions, steps, criteria, etc. It's just helpful to have SOME. Those are mine, fashion yours as you see fit, I would not be so presumptuous as to say mine are right for you. In fact I urge you not to just adopt mine, as I do change them from time to time without notice, but instead develop your own. You are very welcome to start with mine if you so wish, though. But do something. If you have not already, I urge you to make your process more concrete, now, while there is no pressure and you can think clearly about what you want. Do it now rather than later, during a recall when folk may not react well to perceived changes in process or commitment. Further, I suggest that after you document your process, that you give a reference to it for the benefit of other admins who may want to see what others have done. List it in this table as a resource for the benefit of all. If you use someone else's by reference rather than copy, I suggest you might want to do as Cacharoth did, and give a link to a specific version. Do you have to do these things? Not at all. These are suggestions from me, and me alone, and are entirely up to you to embrace or ignore. I just think that doing this now, thinking now, documenting now, will save you trouble later, if you should for whatever reason happen to be recalled. I apologise if this message seems impersonal, but with over 130 members in the category, leaving a personal message for each of you might not have been feasible, and I feel this is important enough to violate social norms a bit. I hope that's OK. Thanks for your time and consideration, and best wishes. Larry Pieniazek NOTE: You are receiving this message because you are listed in the Wikipedia administrators open to recall category. This is a voluntary category, and you should not be in it if you do not want to be.

First of all, thanks for your comment, having been on Wikipedia for a long time, I know you as a responsible and sensitive contributor. Despite that, I was a bit surprised by your warning. I am sure you are aware that some users on Wikipedia, regardless of their nationality, edit Wikipedia with a nationalist agenda. If memory doesn't fail me, we have both been involved in a couple of disputes with some Russian users engaged in such actions. It is my belief that users who only try to paint their own nation in the most positive pictures are not contributing as well as they could on Wikipedia. Of course every contributor is always welcome, but you know just as well as I do that many edit wars are fought precisely over this issue - nationalists from two sides who clash with each other. Regarding Poeticbent, I stand behind my words. He gladly deletes content if it's not favouring Poland and I don't particularly likes his habit of taking legitimate warnings and moving them to the user pages of those who had issue them. May I respectfully ask how you would consider a Russian user who deleted content not favouring Russia and, if warned by you, pasted your warning on your own talk page?

Piotrus,
Today I tried to add a citation to the page about Jozef Haller. I do not know if I was successful. I got your message of acknowledgement. Thank you.
Please let me know if I did it correctly.
The maps that I uploaded to the Internet on my website from the Battle of Warsaw are all over Wikipedia. Unfortunately, I cannot take credit for them. The are from the book Cud ha Wisla by Arciszewski. I'd like to learn how to do this correctly so I can add all the appropriate citations to the articles on Wiki. I'd hate to be accused of academic dishonesty when I am so close to my PhD.

Thanks for uploading Image:Map of battle of Kostiuchnowka 1916.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Aqwis ( talk – contributions) 23:07, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
I am inclined to say "< something > Lordship", but I do not know of an accurate way of translated the word or idea of Standes-. I don't think "state country" is a construction which has ever been used in English. The idea in English is that a country is a type of state as it is and since the idea of state and country overlap, combining them as a term in English doesn't make so much sense. "Free state" might be an idea, but I would look for a term which is closer to one used for immediate states, rather than something that is mediatized. This article de:Standesherr (Deutscher Bund) links back to mediatization. Autonomous lordship maybe? If the English term cannot be determined, I would use either the German or the Polish form, which ever appears more in English literature. Charles 20:59, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Would you please do something to restrain your compatriots? In their zeal to prevent this purely historical article from mentioning its title, they have now three times introduced statements which will (to any English-speaker who is simply trying to read the article) outright falsehood. This is difficult enough to explain without this sort of thing.
If necessary, I will simply tag the article as inaccurate; but if I do, I shall also pursue other modes of dispute resolution, which they are likely to find less agreeable. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 22:04, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Please consider doing an edit yourself; I am not enamoured of my wording, but I would like to see the facts back. At that point, I can continue researching the Hochbergs, seeing when they became Princes, and if the German Wikipedia is right they became Dukes in the Prussian peerage in 1905. (The facts should be clear enough from my edit, and PB has substantially quoted one of my sources.) Septentrionalis PMAnderson 23:23, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
I've left a note to Molobo trying to explain what I actually want. Could you remind him that some users are genuinely neutral, and trying to write articles about the facts in comprehensible English? We Andersons are neither German nor Polish.
And could you disabuse him of the notion that "claims" is neutral?
I am tempted to write an RFC strictly on the question of whether rewriting an article in order to remove the article title is advisable. Would you be willing to endorse this?
I really don't want to go further; sanctions against unreasonable Poles will only encourage unreasonable Germans. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 18:33, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Could you unite the two paragraphs about Germanization, and deal with Molobo's hysterical tag about a book he has not read? If it is still there in 24 hours, I will take further steps. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 19:09, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Welcome and thanks for joining/clarifying your active status in the Polish history task force. As you probably have noticed, we are undergoing a reorganization after a substantial period of inactivity and a loss of membership followed by renewed interest and the organization of Wikipedia:WikiProject History. As you are aware, we have recently merged the even less active Polish History Project into Wikipedia:WikiProject European history/Polish history task force, I notice several new members of the project with that area of interest, I've already suggested to them that they also join the task force, but you might encourage them as well if you have an interest in getting that going. As you probably noticed, I've suggested that editors discuss any ideas you have at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject European history rather than at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject European history/Polish history task force - but please, when you think there are enough active members of the task force to justify it acting more or less independently, remove that message and start discussing Polish history there.

DYK hooks look great. You have a wicked sense for the absurd. I made a few wording adjustments and responded to the question about the Museum. I gather you think some inline references would help the Kasztanka article; I'll see what I can do. Frankly, I would have preferred to have devoted last night to something other than a horse, no matter how distinguished! Nihil novi ( talk) 07:06, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Piotruś
Thank you. The point is there existed two 'Warsaw districts' of AK:
(1) the larger one, until beginning 1942 "District of Warsaw - Voivodship" then "Area of Warsaw" it covered ca pre-war Voivodeship of Warsaw excluding Warsaw itself and its suburbs (the Powiat of Warsaw), and
(2) the smaller one, called also "District of Warsaw - City" included the Powiat of Warsaw including Warsaw within administrative borders.
Forms of names show variations, there were also codenames in use. In the table Armia_Krajowa#Structure_and_membership the (1) is specified on the top as "Warsaw Area", the (2) below under "independent areas" - "Warsaw".
The duality is confusing, I was also confused.
Best Regards Jacek

Witaj
Podstawowym źródłem do dziejów Władysława Białego pozostaje Janko z Czarnkowa, który rozdziale 45 pisze: Tegoż roku (1379) ... Ludwik wypłacił ... w mieście Gdańsku, dnia 20 października, księciu Władysławowi Białemu resztę pieniędzy, które za ziemie gniewkowską był winien ... Otrzymawszy je książę Biały pokwitowania czyli listów zeznawczych dać nie chciał, i udał się, ze szczupłym orszakiem do miasta Lubeki ... i tam pozostał. Co zamyśla dalej - nie wiadomo. Kronikarz nie wie więc nic o jego powrocie do Polski w latach późniejszych, kronikę pisał aż do 1384r. i o księciu wypowiada się wcale obficie.
O fakcie zaś starania się o koronę polską Janko z Czarnkowa nie informuje wprost choć pisze o przybyciu tam opozycji wielkopolskiej przeciwko rządom Andegawenów. W 1373r. Biały opanował zresztą nie tylko ojcowiznę ale i Gniezno, jakby rzeczywiście zamierzał obalić rządy Andegawenów w Polsce, tak zresztą interpretuje to literatura np. Sroka Stanisław, Piastowie. Leksykon Biograficzny, Kraków 1999, s. 247-248. Kandydatem do korony był więc przede wszystkim w 1373r.
Przejrzałem też Lelewela, pisze on tylko (jak jest w artykule na Wiki), że "udał się do papieża roku 1382, trzynastego września sekuralizacją. Mając te akta był okrzykiem przyjęty przez stronników swoich. Lecz za przybyciem Jadwigii ich liczba się zmiejszała a on sam musiał uchodzić. I dalej że tułał się po Niemczech.
Nie ma tam wprost, że przybył do Polski, a jeśli nawet uznać, że to Lelewel miał na myśli to źródła: Janko, czy Długosz nic o tym nie wspominają

Władysław Biały pochodził z kujawskiej linii Piastów i jako taki był najbliższym krewnym po mieczu Kazimierza Wielkiego. Kiedy Ludwik Andegaweński został królem polski, początkowo oczy całej opozycji skupionej głównie w Wielkopolsce (działał tutaj m.in. kronikarz Janko z Czarnkowa), skierowała swoje zainteresowanie na wnuka Kazimierza Wielkiego - Kaźko. Ten jednak odmówił walki z Andegawenami. Wtedy naturalnym sojusznikiem opozycji stał się Władysław, któremu już jakiś czas temu sprzykrzył się żywot mnisi. Inna sprawa, że okazało się jak Biały przyjechał do kraju, to ta opozycja okazała się niezbyt liczna. Mimo to z zaskoczenia udało mu się odzyskać ojcowiznę, zajmując przy okazji pogranicze Wielkopolski i Kujaw.

I have noticed a number of people who seem to not want to refer to you by your username. Rather they take the time to spell out "Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus" or "Prokonsul Piotrus" and then link it to Piotrus. Is this what you want, or are these people just doing it for a different reason? Ostap 21:28, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

An editor has nominated CINTAX, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/CINTAX and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 06:29, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

See here. It looks like the purpose is content-generation, so I can't imagine that anybody will have problems; I think people were concerned that it was intended to be an extra-Wikipedian experiment in collaboration, or just a medium of communication between students (like a WebCT, or something), or something. There was an issue a couple of months ago where some Harvard law students injected themselves into Wikipedia dispute resolution as an experiment for class, and some people got their noses out of joint about that, so I think people are just sensitive about this sort of thing. Anyway, thanks for your response, and I hope this is the last you have to hear about this. Sarcasticidealist ( talk) 17:57, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
I'm happy you liked it! Thank you for recommending it for DYK. I'll leave the hook for you. I'm planing on illustrating the article, but it will take some time. :) Oh, as far as I know, there were some Hungarian comics published in Poland. I'll get you a list, if you're still interested in it. Zoli79 ( talk) 21:31, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
I made that part of the article clearer, adding some new information and heavily packing it with references. I hope it's fine now. Oh, two things about the hook: these laws took effect before WWII and I would rather use the term "fascist", than "nazi" in this case. Zoli79 ( talk) 22:01, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Please, "take care" of polonophobic user named "M0RD00R" - he keep adding to English Wikipedia sources based only on Jewish sites which include only one point of view and strong POV. M0RD00R is also highly aggresive in attacking Poland and Polish relative articles (look to his "talk" and "User contributions" pages). Please, do something.

I'm done... too late for anything more. At least I've honed off some burrs and smoothed a couple of rough edges.
As far as "enjoying it" goes, the snippet strikes me more as an idea to flesh out and hang a storyline on and not so much as a good story itself. Too many artifices of linqual pseudo-tech too quick sans a firm footing to figure where one stands in relation to the revelations. No personality, or quirky history to cause the reader to relate and emphasize with Winnie. Contrast with Heinlein's self-aware computer "Mike"/Mycroft/Michelle in The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress... the difference, as Heinlein noted, is that good stories are about people, even one's made of crystals and whatevers. Thanks for the kudos, glad to lend a different perspective and a hand. // Fra nkB 05:08, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

This arbitration case has closed and the final decision may be found at the link above. Giano is placed on civility restriction for one year. Should Giano make any edits which are judged by an administrator to be uncivil, personal attacks, or assumptions of bad faith, Giano may be blocked for the duration specified in the enforcement ruling. All parties in this case are strongly cautioned to pursue disputes in a civil manner designed to contribute to resolution and to cause minimal disruption. All the involved editors, both the supporters and detractors of IRC, are asked to avoid edit warring on project space pages even if their status is unclear, and are instructed to use civil discussion to resolve all issues with respect to the "admin" IRC channel.
