Hi, I put on hold tag on the article. God willing, I'll add my review tonight.-- Seyyed( t- c) 14:25, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
I started reviewing the article, but do you really sure that it has reached GA criteria. My first review [1] shows it has major problems. -- Seyyed( t- c) 16:02, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Just a note to let you know that an image you uploaded is possibly a copyvio; see the FAC (Elcobbola's oppose, at the bottom). · AndonicO Engage. 22:06, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Looks like all the articles were recently moved to their Russified names. Was there any discussion about this? The Russian names seem more obscure than the Polish ones, so I'd be in favour of moving them back.-- Kotniski ( talk) 16:09, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Which names are predominantly used in English academic works on the subject—Polish or Russian ones? I wouldn't know that, as I tend to work mostly with the Russian sources and would tend to use a Russian name myself.— Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • ( yo?); 16:48, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
dzięki za wsparcie. w przyszłośći dam tam mój tekst, tylko mi go niemcy opublikują. ukazał się wprawdzie w polsce, ale angielski tam użyty wymaga dużej cierpliwości. to mój pierwszy wkład w wiki i przyznam, że pierwszy kontakt nie jest zbyt pozytywny. polecam też zamieszanie w artykule o auschwitz.-- Discourseur ( talk) 20:11, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
podałem najbardziej źródłowe ze źródłowych prace. amerykanie mają jednak problem z ich rozumieniem, bo francuskie zwłaszcza nie są najlepiej przetłumaczone. na polskim wiki nic nie robiłem jeszcze, chociaż artykuł ukazał się w dużo bardziej rozbudowanej formie po polsku. po kolei. najpierw tu, potem u nas. nie moge też dać linków, mimo, że wszystko wsadziłem już w sieć, bo czekam na kolejne publikacje o zbliżonym temacie. taktyka publikacyjna. -- Discourseur ( talk) 20:38, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

In Category:Disappeared people you can see: "Category for people who went missing and whose subsequent fate remains a mystery. This includes cases of forced disappearance. For any individual born before 1885 whose year of death remains undetermined, please change this category to Category:Year of death unknown." So, in case of Włodzimierz Zagórski (general) (born in 1882), the Category:Disappeared people does not fit. Cheers.-- 89.131.125.120 ( talk) 15:00, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi!
Ok, but the article was dubious for me. The Three-Year Plan is a general concept in economy. Not for only polish economy system. I see 2 results:
You support the first version, but i think, that the second is better. I don't will move the currently page, and my English is not so good, if I can write an article. Greetings from Hungary: -- Tobi ( talk) 17:33, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about the Hitler Stalin Pact. I thought I was being bold. I guess I just didn't think it out (United States of America is better known as USA, US or just America... please don't move such crucial articles without consensus on talk). Next time I'll use the discussion page. -- Uncle Ed ( talk) 17:32, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
Piotrus, I'm going to slowly work on this for about 6-8 weeks, and try and return to standard. Its a fine article, however given 2008 standards, there are multiple MOS & refs issues, though none too serious as can't be fixed, with work, time, and some elbow greece. It seems likely to me that that sooner or later somebody will FAR the page, and I'd like to preemptive that. As you wrote it, I'd appreciate if you could keep an eye or lend a hand. Ceoil 17 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi Piotrus, I like the container very much that you created to tidy up all your user boxes and show them upon clicking show. I would like to use this tool on my own user page. I hope this is OK for you? Since I know very little about html I have a problem I cannot resolve myself. I would like to show the different drawers of the box not vertically as you do but horizontally, i.e., side by side. So, like a table where Babel and wikipedia-related are columns and upon clicking show next to Babel one sees rows popping up under Babel with your language skills. I have copied your box into my User:Tomeasy/Sandbox#BOX and removed most of its content, so the structure becomes somewhat understandable for me. Perhaps you have the patience to quickly show me how I could do this. Cheers! Tomeasy talk 13:00, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi, from my experience and from watching others, if an article requires a lot of work to get to Good article status then it is sometimes failed with suggestions given. Part of the reason is so that people don't nominate an article when they need a lot of work before reaching the Good article criteria; also, sometimes people do "drive-by nominations", where a person will make one or two edits to an article and then nominate it for Good article. This usually happens to articles that still require a lot of work before reaching the Good article criteria. Gary King ( talk) 01:21, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. Part of commitment to this article comes from my being a collage student, and knowing what it feels like to be in a group and thuis dependent on others to get hings done. I'm impressed, quite frankly, that the editers have managed this much work in such a short time. Last week I added the B-class criteria when I bumped the article up too start, hoping that might help you students some since the checklist in the template will essentially form the foundation for the GA-class review. Lastly, I left a message informing WP:sociology, WP:milhist, and the military sciences task force informing all parties of the peer review, and added the review to the main milhist template, so with a little luck others will notice the new review and add some additional comments.

Glad to help. But boy, you don't know how tempting it is to just go fix it! TREKphiler hit me ♠ 18:30, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

So I just want to know, are we doing good things for this article and will it go somewhere? I feel like I've been staring at this article for many hours not knowing where to go or even how to do anything. This is partly because I'm Wiki-illiterate. I hope even after my assignment is over for this course that this article will take off, I will be checking in on this article and contributing even after the course is over.

A tag has been placed on CINTAX requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.

Hi, I reviewed Technophobia, failed it because it had a lot of work to do before meeting standards, and then it was quickly renominated. Someone notified me that the article was nominated even before a lot of my concerns were addressed, and that's when I realized it was one of your students. I will assume that you have given the students a set of housekeeping steps before submitting GANs, but in any case, I will list a few basic ones here to reiterate:
These are the primary points that can be done by nominators; I am more than willing to help by moving references after punctuation marks if they aren't placed properly as those are just small maintenance work, but the above points need to be done by the nominators before nominating articles.

Hi Piotrus. I just wanted to say well done on the articles you got your students to write - I hope you'll pass on my congratulations for the DYKs to them. I know I was initially dubious about bending the five-day rule for them but the points raised by you and others at the DYK suggestions page changed my mind. In the end, if this motivates even one of them to stick around and become a serious contributor then everyone will have won out - and that's what DYK's for after all. Good luck with any future teaching you do using Wikipedia. Olaf Davis | Talk 09:58, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
You wrote there that "Boody is convinced of his own self-righteousness and that Poles are evil." You should either provide serious evidence that I am convinced that "Poles are evil" or you should immediately refrain from making such defamatory and false characterizations of other editors. Once again, this is disturbing behavior on your part (specifically, publicly defaming another editor with false accusations of bigotry as a tactic in a content dispute) which reflects badly on your status as an admin.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Battle Isle 1 screenshot.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 13:33, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
I am sorry for part in “Polish death camp controversy” page being put forward for deletion. I plan to vote for it to kept but wonder if the following comments would be of any use. I would put links to support comment two and three. Let me know if you think the comment would help.
Comment: Much is being made of the title which wrongly refers to a controversy. The solution is simply to rename the article rather than delete the article.
Comment: The other major issue is the examples I have added. There are plenty of lists (e.g. the foreign ministry list, the consulates/embassies around the world) which support most of the examples. If at the discussion page those suggesting the deleting had been willing to agree what source for examples was acceptable I would be happy to support those entries from suitable sources and remove those I could not find reliable sources.
Comment: This topic has been debate via the United Nations resulting in the renaming of Auschwitz, major Polish newspapers have campaigns, embassy not only Polish e.g. Israel Ambassador has spoke against it and the largest Polonia organisation will have a member assigned to deal with these issues.

With no discussion, you have removed content from the page Open Access, and created a new page Open Access movement.

Hi Piotrus, do you have a suggestion about the proposal I've submitted for a potential featured picture candidate? It's generally difficult to get historic photos of architecture featured unless the structure no longer exists in the earlier form. I'm not sure about the reconstructions of some other sites, but it appears pretty clear from the article that the church I've located wasn't rebuilt to its original dimensions. Photographically it's a good candidate; the detail and composition are up to par. Would like to double check with you about encyclopedic value. You replied to the noticeboard before, so maybe a second look? Best wishes, Durova Charge! 18:27, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

I outlined my dispute with the claim of a controversy already here and elsewhere. Please do not arbitrarily remove a tag you don't like when the "controversy" claim in the title has been disputed (both on the article talk page and in the deletion discussion). Please show good faith and restore a perfectly proper tag. If you have reliable sources demonstrating "dozens" of documented instances of "controversy," please add that information to the talk page. Thank you. Boodlesthecat Meow? 21:10, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
You may wish to add specific page references to this article: these can easily be obtained from the sub-articles. I'd hate to see this break into an edit war over something so easily fixed. -- ROGER DAVIES talk 06:30, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
It should, but I can see how the way it is structured now can make the mention seem a bit gratuitous. Probably better to put the bit on "the Holocaust in Nazi-occupied Lithuania resulted in the near total destruction of Lithuanian Jews" (perhaps shorter and more concise) at the beginning of the section indicating the key role played by collaborators in the Holocaust (with a good reliable source supporting that) and proceed with the details. The article is about collaboration; if in the Lithuanian case collaborators were key to the Holocaust, that can be put right at the top without having to tack on a somewhat disconnected section at the end. Boodlesthecat Meow? 17:02, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
I was going to say something similar to what Boodles already wrote. Do the sources say whether collaborators were responsible for the high death rate of the Holocaust in Lithuania, or was it attributable to other factors (I'm just speculating, but if the Jews were concentrated in a few cities it might have been easier to round them up than if they lived in many small towns that were spread across the country-side). — Malik Shabazz ( talk · contribs) 02:14, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Given who Margolick has written for, including Vanity Fair, and that it's the review published in the NYT Book Review, it's a bit difficult to not include reviews such as his. My own feeling is that it's better in the article narrative to insure that the reviewer's POV is reflected as well (per additional quotes) and then cut to the controversy those POVs play into, that is, did all Poles hate Jews and merrily slaughter them without Nazi prompting--basically Gross's premise, or are the crimes of the few being visited upon the entire Polish nation, basically the Polish defense. Feel free to reply here or on my own. — PētersV ( talk) 18:28, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading Image:Battle Isle 1 screenshot.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 17:05, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
Hello Piotrus. You have quite the Wikipedia pedigree. Thanks for all the good you do here.
Just a quick note regarding the Thomas Merton Center disambiguation. I still do not think this is necessary, even if the Pittsburgh center gets some hits on Google; I am an amateur scholar of Merton and never heard of it. But I do not have the time or desire to get into a full-blown dispute over this.
Apologizes if I am posting this in the wrong place or am not following some arcane Wikipedia procedure.

Hello, I notice you're using one of the {{ motd}} templates, run by Wikipedia:Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.
When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.
If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hersfold ( t/ a/ c) 03:23, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
Please stop NYScholar ( talk) from harassing me on my own Talk page. He's placing numerous false and questionable 'warnings' on my page, restoring such comments after I have removed them, placing 'suspected sockpuppet' and similar threats (in rows of two or three), and otherwise trying to display material I find annoying. They are all, without exception, common forms of continual harassment which has been going on for several days. Please consult WP:HUSH for guidelines. Thank you in advance. -- Poeticbent talk 04:22, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
See my talk page, the talk pages of the images, the frequent reverting of the templates in the image pages, etc. The claims above are false and the "warnings" that Poeticbent immediately deletes have been templates required by the speedy-deletion template; there is no "sockpuppet" issue that I know of; I have no idea what Poeticbent is referring to, unless Poeticbent is editing both using an anonymous IP add. and the registered name (I have no way of knowing; only Poeticbent knows if the two are one and the same or not, and I never said that they were): An anonymous IP user and Poeticbent have been deleting proper templates from images already marked with speedy-deletion templates from an article. The turning this into a "personal" matter is purely the result of violations of WP:AGF by Poeticbent, as illustrated above. These claims are absurd. The important matter is the problems in the images that Poeticbent has uploaded to Wikipedia and inserted in the article in question. I leave it to administrators to investigate the problems in the images and have no desire to interact with Poeticbent directly. Violations of WP:3RR are obvious in that user's actions in the image pages and the article the 2 images appear in. I have placed no "false and questionable 'warnings'" on Poeticbent's talk page; each one has been triggered by that user's reverting and deletions of proper templates in the image pages and the image captions. I've said all I have to say about this matter. Only out of courtesy have I posted the proper template warnings on the user's talk page; the templates have been required by the speedy-deletion template; each time the user has deleted them, not commented on the talk page of the images and changed the wording in my speedy-deletion templates to inaccurate versions about the image.
These images are damaging the integrity of the articles in which they appear because they are dubious non-free images that are marked for speedy-deletion. -- NYScholar ( talk) 04:53, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
Please see the images as now posted at WP:FUR. Thank you. -- NYScholar ( talk) 05:36, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Sixteen citation tags?? There's a pretty thick line between cooperative editing and harassment, and you have managed to erase it entirely. I understand that because of the negative attention you received for your 3 RR edit warring tactics that you can no longer go that route, but this is just as bad. I have sourced every claim I have ever made on every article we have both edited, yet you seem to throw good faith out the window (as well as simple cooperative etiquette, wherein you could easily look in the refs supplied and find the info you "request") and simply see editing these articles as some sort of petty edit warfare. It's pretty sad. Boodlesthecat Meow? 22:52, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

There was in fact a census taken Poland in February 1946.

Warsaw : 1947--- Woogie10w ( talk) 22:56, 9 September 2008 (UTC) The Polish census of 1946 did list the German and Other-Non Polish population for each province. There is seperate data on the number of Germans that had been verified as Poles by Feb 1946. Also the transfers out of Poland to Germany and the USSR from 1946-50 were detailed in official Polish statistical data. That is the reason why I cited the census of 1946 as a source for the German and other population in 1950-- Woogie10w ( talk) 23:39, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
A
proposed deletion template has been added to the article
Jan Matejko's gallery, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{
dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

You realize of course that your implied claims about me and the article's FA status "(before Boody, for example, we were somehow able to raise History of the Jews in Poland to a FA status, without any major incivil disputes; after his arrival it became one of the protected articles)" is completely bogus on a number of accounts. For one, it lost FA status because of serious disruptions by Jacurek, a nasty sock puppeteer whose disruptions, the history shows, you did nothing to try and remedy. The implication that it lost FA status because of me is laughably and demonstrably a bald faced lie, since of course you know quite well that I didnt make any edits to the article until 2 months after it lost FA status (mainly edits to try and clean up some of the mess the article had descended into). I mention this to give you the opportunity to avoid having yourself look foolish by posting such clearly false and deceptive claims about a fellow editor on your arb. It's up to you, of course, whether or not you want to modify your false claims to correspond with reality and avoid such embarrassment; makes no difference to me (although I consider lies about me posted on a board to be rude, but I am told, in response to my complaint about Greg, that it's allowed to post lies there).

I see you are still making a habit of making distorted claims. I wrote "stop trying to fill an encyclopedia without outdated, discredited and outright anti-semitic nonsense." I've been giving you the benefit of the doubt that you don't understand that the material you keep adding is, among other things, representative of discredited, fringe, anti-semitic canards. Hence, my repeated, lengthy attempts top explain it to you on multiple occasions. In typical fashion, you turn a deaf ear to the explanations, eschew discussion and post a typical distorted claim that somehow you are being persecuted. Oh well, I tried.

Why did you nominate so many articles for GAN that clearly required significant improvement and references before meeting the criteria? I'm puzzled, because you have a great track record of excellent work done on articles, but these articles are far below par. Gary King ( talk) 06:32, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

I've never had much interest in satisfying Wikipedia's formal expectations indeed and concentrate on informational content of the articles; have never submitted my articles to any review. Wikipedia is full of ridiculously incorrect information, but that attracts little attention. The emphasis seems to be on proper headings, tables, placement of references etc. A computer program could do those things. Referencing often presents problems. For example, much of the information in an article like History of Poland is common knowledge. How do you reference a statement like "The Battle of Grunwald took place in 1410"?
The prehistory articles I consider unfinished, a kind of work in progress (slow for the lack of time). For example I have not paid much attention to competing points of view, uncertainties and controversies. Missing references result from the fact that originally I referenced by sections, not single statements (which I still find hard to do). The most complete of the articles though, Poland in the Early Middle Ages, is a detailed account based on recent publications by Polish academicians (as well as historical sources) on the origin of the Slavs and of the Polish nation and state. This material had not previously been available in English and I find it perplexing that someone thinks it is of "Mid-importance". Too deep for an encyclopedia or not trivial enough?

The level of my wikistress has fallen recently. Not to the level at which I'd be willing to return to this can of worms where a group of devoted editors are watching my every step, reverting wherever they can, criticizing and slandering me for what I did (and, in most cases, for what I didn't do) and so on. I still believe it's a waste of my time. Too much time have I spent here already.
Sadly, we, the content creators are at a lost position here. In case of content disputes, both you and me in most cases saw that there is more than "One Truth", and tried to defend that. I believe that's how both of us understand the sacred rule of NPOV. However, the recent conflicts with the Lithuanian club (and not-so-recent quarrels with the Russian-minded editors) taught me, that the "One Sacred Truth" will always win, no matter how many references you present. Our opponents do not present evidence (and when they do - it's Kazimieras Garšva), yet they prevail anyway.
Why? It seems to me that sheer number of votes is all that matters. They're plenty, we're few. In theory, all open-minded Wikipedians should take part in such content disputes and simply judge by the sources presented. However, in most cases nobody cares except for a small group of people - too small to make a difference. Users like Lokyz or Iulius can safely delete references they dislike - and it's perfectly right and well. But when you revert an article to restore the references - you're instantly reported to some ArbCom, RfA or some other place, where you have to waste time explaining that "you're not a camel", as we say here in Poland.
The same applies to cases of "simple" personal attacks and slanderous campaigns take place. Remember Renata's farewell letter? She accused me of all sorts of absurd things without presenting a single diff or link (of which there could be none), but noone stood in my defence. People don't care, we have to waste time defending ourselves.
Now on to your case. Of course, the accusations are in most cases completely absurd and out of the blue. Of course, holding this diff against you would be hilarious if it wasn't true (for the non-informed readers, the article deals with Jews from the areas annexed by Lithuania as well; erasing a mention of Polish Jews from there is similar to, say, erasing the mention of Polish Jews from the article on Warsaw Ghetto, arguing that there was no Poland back then). Same for the RfA against Lokyz you filed - you clearly tried to defend against a similar slander campaign that the one that finally pushed me out of Wikipedia. And now that's one of the main arguments against you. Sad but true.
Anyway, feel free to re-post this letter anywhere you please should you need it - or point me to a place you want me to. I simply lost track of all the links and places where the hunting season on you has started. // Halibu tt 01:45, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Piotrus, I'm going to slowly work on this for about 6-8 weeks, and try and return to standard. Its a fine article, however given 2008 standards, there are multiple MOS & refs issues, though none too serious as can't be fixed, with work, time, and some elbow greece. It seems likely to me that that sooner or later somebody will FAR the page, and I'd like to preemptive that. As you wrote it, I'd appreciate if you could keep an eye or lend a hand.

Hi Piotrus, I like the container very much that you created to tidy up all your user boxes and show them upon clicking show. I would like to use this tool on my own user page. I hope this is OK for you? Since I know very little about html I have a problem I cannot resolve myself. I would like to show the different drawers of the box not vertically as you do but horizontally, i.e., side by side. So, like a table where Babel and wikipedia-related are columns and upon clicking show next to Babel one sees rows popping up under Babel with your language skills. I have copied your box into my User:Tomeasy/Sandbox#BOX and removed most of its content, so the structure becomes somewhat understandable for me. Perhaps you have the patience to quickly show me how I could do this. Cheers! Tomeasy talk 13:00, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi, from my experience and from watching others, if an article requires a lot of work to get to Good article status then it is sometimes failed with suggestions given. Part of the reason is so that people don't nominate an article when they need a lot of work before reaching the Good article criteria; also, sometimes people do "drive-by nominations", where a person will make one or two edits to an article and then nominate it for Good article. This usually happens to articles that still require a lot of work before reaching the Good article criteria. Gary King ( talk) 01:21, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. Part of commitment to this article comes from my being a collage student, and knowing what it feels like to be in a group and thuis dependent on others to get hings done. I'm impressed, quite frankly, that the editers have managed this much work in such a short time. Last week I added the B-class criteria when I bumped the article up too start, hoping that might help you students some since the checklist in the template will essentially form the foundation for the GA-class review. Lastly, I left a message informing WP:sociology, WP:milhist, and the military sciences task force informing all parties of the peer review, and added the review to the main milhist template, so with a little luck others will notice the new review and add some additional comments.

A tag has been placed on CINTAX requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.

Hi, I reviewed Technophobia, failed it because it had a lot of work to do before meeting standards, and then it was quickly renominated. Someone notified me that the article was nominated even before a lot of my concerns were addressed, and that's when I realized it was one of your students. I will assume that you have given the students a set of housekeeping steps before submitting GANs, but in any case, I will list a few basic ones here to reiterate:
These are the primary points that can be done by nominators; I am more than willing to help by moving references after punctuation marks if they aren't placed properly as those are just small maintenance work, but the above points need to be done by the nominators before nominating articles.

Hi, I just did another edit for an extra point. The previous survey results on church attendance and religious importance were not sourced so I found a source and replaced it, adding a decent sized paragraph. Here is the diff for that edit. [4] Zlj2755 ( talk) 16:33, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Please do not delete reliably sourced information, as you did here, simply because you don't like it. and please do not start your old tactic of instigating edit wars and baiting editors into 3RR violations, as you have dont in the past and are trying to do here. . As an Wikipedia admin, and a college professor, please behave more professionally and honestly. Boodlesthecat Meow? 19:07, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Why do you keep deleting the reliably sourced description of Gazeta Polska? You really need to stop this. Boodlesthecat Meow? 19:57, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi Piotrus, just a friendly reminder that the 3RR is not entitlement to revert three times each day, nor does it endorse reverting as an editing technique. If there are persistent issues with History of the Jews in Poland and/or with other editors on that article, might I suggest that you ask the Mediation Cabal for assistance? -- ChrisO ( talk) 21:26, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi Piotrus. I just wanted to say well done on the articles you got your students to write - I hope you'll pass on my congratulations for the DYKs to them. I know I was initially dubious about bending the five-day rule for them but the points raised by you and others at the DYK suggestions page changed my mind. In the end, if this motivates even one of them to stick around and become a serious contributor then everyone will have won out - and that's what DYK's for after all. Good luck with any future teaching you do using Wikipedia. Olaf Davis | Talk 09:58, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
You wrote there that "Boody is convinced of his own self-righteousness and that Poles are evil." You should either provide serious evidence that I am convinced that "Poles are evil" or you should immediately refrain from making such defamatory and false characterizations of other editors. Once again, this is disturbing behavior on your part (specifically, publicly defaming another editor with false accusations of bigotry as a tactic in a content dispute) which reflects badly on your status as an admin.

re: this talk section ... Can you take a peek in the deleted redlinked page and (Note the links to various David Kernow user pages in Template:Types_of_administrative_country_subdivision( talk links history)) and my just now made comment to Quiddity.
I happened on this as once again I'm doing some maintenance on the commons Maps categories which was in fact the "Needs genesis" that drove all the hard work that went into this template, the maps category schemes, and probably subnational categories names on enwikipedia, if I know David, and we worked together very closely for a long while, so I'll claim 'that'.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Battle Isle 1 screenshot.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 13:33, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
I am sorry for part in “Polish death camp controversy” page being put forward for deletion. I plan to vote for it to kept but wonder if the following comments would be of any use. I would put links to support comment two and three. Let me know if you think the comment would help.
Comment: Much is being made of the title which wrongly refers to a controversy. The solution is simply to rename the article rather than delete the article.
Comment: The other major issue is the examples I have added. There are plenty of lists (e.g. the foreign ministry list, the consulates/embassies around the world) which support most of the examples. If at the discussion page those suggesting the deleting had been willing to agree what source for examples was acceptable I would be happy to support those entries from suitable sources and remove those I could not find reliable sources.
Comment: This topic has been debate via the United Nations resulting in the renaming of Auschwitz, major Polish newspapers have campaigns, embassy not only Polish e.g. Israel Ambassador has spoke against it and the largest Polonia organisation will have a member assigned to deal with these issues.

With no discussion, you have removed content from the page Open Access, and created a new page Open Access movement.

Hi Piotrus, do you have a suggestion about the proposal I've submitted for a potential featured picture candidate? It's generally difficult to get historic photos of architecture featured unless the structure no longer exists in the earlier form. I'm not sure about the reconstructions of some other sites, but it appears pretty clear from the article that the church I've located wasn't rebuilt to its original dimensions. Photographically it's a good candidate; the detail and composition are up to par. Would like to double check with you about encyclopedic value. You replied to the noticeboard before, so maybe a second look? Best wishes, Durova Charge! 18:27, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

I outlined my dispute with the claim of a controversy already here and elsewhere. Please do not arbitrarily remove a tag you don't like when the "controversy" claim in the title has been disputed (both on the article talk page and in the deletion discussion). Please show good faith and restore a perfectly proper tag. If you have reliable sources demonstrating "dozens" of documented instances of "controversy," please add that information to the talk page. Thank you. Boodlesthecat Meow? 21:10, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

It should, but I can see how the way it is structured now can make the mention seem a bit gratuitous. Probably better to put the bit on "the Holocaust in Nazi-occupied Lithuania resulted in the near total destruction of Lithuanian Jews" (perhaps shorter and more concise) at the beginning of the section indicating the key role played by collaborators in the Holocaust (with a good reliable source supporting that) and proceed with the details. The article is about collaboration; if in the Lithuanian case collaborators were key to the Holocaust, that can be put right at the top without having to tack on a somewhat disconnected section at the end. Boodlesthecat Meow? 17:02, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
I was going to say something similar to what Boodles already wrote. Do the sources say whether collaborators were responsible for the high death rate of the Holocaust in Lithuania, or was it attributable to other factors (I'm just speculating, but if the Jews were concentrated in a few cities it might have been easier to round them up than if they lived in many small towns that were spread across the country-side). — Malik Shabazz ( talk · contribs) 02:14, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Given who Margolick has written for, including Vanity Fair, and that it's the review published in the NYT Book Review, it's a bit difficult to not include reviews such as his. My own feeling is that it's better in the article narrative to insure that the reviewer's POV is reflected as well (per additional quotes) and then cut to the controversy those POVs play into, that is, did all Poles hate Jews and merrily slaughter them without Nazi prompting--basically Gross's premise, or are the crimes of the few being visited upon the entire Polish nation, basically the Polish defense. Feel free to reply here or on my own. — PētersV ( talk) 18:28, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Attempts to explain in English have failed. There has been a notice put up at ANI which summarizes the situation. Would you be able to help, or find another Polish-speaking admin who can help, explain to this young girl why she is in error, and help her understand how to interact with Wikipedia in a constructive manner?

Thank you for uploading Image:Battle Isle 1 screenshot.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 17:05, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
Hello Piotrus. You have quite the Wikipedia pedigree. Thanks for all the good you do here.
Just a quick note regarding the Thomas Merton Center disambiguation. I still do not think this is necessary, even if the Pittsburgh center gets some hits on Google; I am an amateur scholar of Merton and never heard of it. But I do not have the time or desire to get into a full-blown dispute over this.

Hello, I notice you're using one of the {{ motd}} templates, run by Wikipedia:Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.
When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.
If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hersfold ( t/ a/ c) 03:23, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
Please stop NYScholar ( talk) from harassing me on my own Talk page. He's placing numerous false and questionable 'warnings' on my page, restoring such comments after I have removed them, placing 'suspected sockpuppet' and similar threats (in rows of two or three), and otherwise trying to display material I find annoying. They are all, without exception, common forms of continual harassment which has been going on for several days. Please consult WP:HUSH for guidelines. Thank you in advance. -- Poeticbent talk 04:22, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
See my talk page, the talk pages of the images, the frequent reverting of the templates in the image pages, etc. The claims above are false and the "warnings" that Poeticbent immediately deletes have been templates required by the speedy-deletion template; there is no "sockpuppet" issue that I know of; I have no idea what Poeticbent is referring to, unless Poeticbent is editing both using an anonymous IP add. and the registered name (I have no way of knowing; only Poeticbent knows if the two are one and the same or not, and I never said that they were): An anonymous IP user and Poeticbent have been deleting proper templates from images already marked with speedy-deletion templates from an article. The turning this into a "personal" matter is purely the result of violations of WP:AGF by Poeticbent, as illustrated above. These claims are absurd. The important matter is the problems in the images that Poeticbent has uploaded to Wikipedia and inserted in the article in question. I leave it to administrators to investigate the problems in the images and have no desire to interact with Poeticbent directly. Violations of WP:3RR are obvious in that user's actions in the image pages and the article the 2 images appear in. I have placed no "false and questionable 'warnings'" on Poeticbent's talk page; each one has been triggered by that user's reverting and deletions of proper templates in the image pages and the image captions. I've said all I have to say about this matter. Only out of courtesy have I posted the proper template warnings on the user's talk page; the templates have been required by the speedy-deletion template; each time the user has deleted them, not commented on the talk page of the images and changed the wording in my speedy-deletion templates to inaccurate versions about the image.
These images are damaging the integrity of the articles in which they appear because they are dubious non-free images that are marked for speedy-deletion. -- NYScholar ( talk) 04:53, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

You made some edits to Battle of Legnica. One of the changes was changing:
to
The source I used for the former was: Erik Hildinger. "Mongol Invasions: Battle of Liegnitz". TheHistoryNet.com, originally published Military History magazine, June 1997. Accessed September 2, 2008.
Do you have a source for the different statements in your edit? Whose Army was it if you are saying that Hildinger was wrong is saying that it was King Boleslav V of Kraków's army?

Hey, I thought you might be interested in this, since you are medically active. With a colleague I have set up a Medical Revision website, called MedRevise.co.uk. It is not trying to compete with Wikipedia, but trying to be something else useful, different and fun. If you are interested, please read our philosophy and just have a little look at our site. I would appreciate your feedback, and some contributions if you have the time. Thanks a lot! MedRevise ( talk) 18:20, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Sixteen citation tags?? There's a pretty thick line between cooperative editing and harassment, and you have managed to erase it entirely. I understand that because of the negative attention you received for your 3 RR edit warring tactics that you can no longer go that route, but this is just as bad. I have sourced every claim I have ever made on every article we have both edited, yet you seem to throw good faith out the window (as well as simple cooperative etiquette, wherein you could easily look in the refs supplied and find the info you "request") and simply see editing these articles as some sort of petty edit warfare. It's pretty sad. Boodlesthecat Meow? 22:52, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
The article says the Ukrainian name is "Privetnoye". This seems right, northeast of Lviv as the article says. I think this is uk:Привітне (Локачинський район). Compare the coordinates. Hope that helps. Also, I have seen you are involved in an arbitration about alleged meatpuppetry and User Alden Jones. What a waste of time. I had a run in with him, its obvious he just likes to revert everyone. I hope it ends well. Ostap 02:14, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

I must thank those Polish Wikipedians who have contributed so much to the English version. Unfortunately my Polish is limited, I really need to spend the time to expand my Polish vocabulary. With regard to the article Historical demography of Poland, I could add considerable detail on the 19th century up until 1939. I see you have contributed to the article on the Settlement Commission. Can you tell me if the records of the commission are open to the public? The reason I ask is that my fathers paternal grandparents came to the US in October 1886 from Sztum County. I have always wondered if the commission purchased their land. -- Woogie10w ( talk) 22:03, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

There was in fact a census taken Poland in February 1946. [24] I have the data from this census in a copy of the Statistical year book of Poland [microform] / Central Statistical Office of the Republic of Poland. Warsaw : 1947--- Woogie10w ( talk) 22:56, 9 September 2008 (UTC) The Polish census of 1946 did list the German and Other-Non Polish population for each province. There is seperate data on the number of Germans that had been verified as Poles by Feb 1946. Also the transfers out of Poland to Germany and the USSR from 1946-50 were detailed in official Polish statistical data. That is the reason why I cited the census of 1946 as a source for the German and other population in 1950-- Woogie10w ( talk) 23:39, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

You realize of course that your implied claims about me and the article's FA status "(before Boody, for example, we were somehow able to raise History of the Jews in Poland to a FA status, without any major incivil disputes; after his arrival it became one of the protected articles)" is completely bogus on a number of accounts. For one, it lost FA status because of serious disruptions by Jacurek, a nasty sock puppeteer whose disruptions, the history shows, you did nothing to try and remedy. The implication that it lost FA status because of me is laughably and demonstrably a bald faced lie, since of course you know quite well that I didnt make any edits to the article until 2 months after it lost FA status (mainly edits to try and clean up some of the mess the article had descended into). I mention this to give you the opportunity to avoid having yourself look foolish by posting such clearly false and deceptive claims about a fellow editor on your arb. It's up to you, of course, whether or not you want to modify your false claims to correspond with reality and avoid such embarrassment; makes no difference to me (although I consider lies about me posted on a board to be rude, but I am told, in response to my complaint about Greg, that it's allowed to post lies there).

I see you are still making a habit of making distorted claims. I wrote "stop trying to fill an encyclopedia without outdated, discredited and outright anti-semitic nonsense." I've been giving you the benefit of the doubt that you don't understand that the material you keep adding is, among other things, representative of discredited, fringe, anti-semitic canards. Hence, my repeated, lengthy attempts top explain it to you on multiple occasions. In typical fashion, you turn a deaf ear to the explanations, eschew discussion and post a typical distorted claim that somehow you are being persecuted. Oh well, I tried.

Why did you nominate so many articles for GAN that clearly required significant improvement and references before meeting the criteria?

I've never had much interest in satisfying Wikipedia's formal expectations indeed and concentrate on informational content of the articles; have never submitted my articles to any review. Wikipedia is full of ridiculously incorrect information, but that attracts little attention. The emphasis seems to be on proper headings, tables, placement of references etc. A computer program could do those things. Referencing often presents problems. For example, much of the information in an article like History of Poland is common knowledge. How do you reference a statement like "The Battle of Grunwald took place in 1410"?
The prehistory articles I consider unfinished, a kind of work in progress (slow for the lack of time). For example I have not paid much attention to competing points of view, uncertainties and controversies. Missing references result from the fact that originally I referenced by sections, not single statements (which I still find hard to do). The most complete of the articles though, Poland in the Early Middle Ages, is a detailed account based on recent publications by Polish academicians (as well as historical sources) on the origin of the Slavs and of the Polish nation and state. This material had not previously been available in English and I find it perplexing that someone thinks it is of "Mid-importance". Too deep for an encyclopedia or not trivial enough?

The level of my wikistress has fallen recently. Not to the level at which I'd be willing to return to this can of worms where a group of devoted editors are watching my every step, reverting wherever they can, criticizing and slandering me for what I did (and, in most cases, for what I didn't do) and so on. I still believe it's a waste of my time. Too much time have I spent here already.
Sadly, we, the content creators are at a lost position here. In case of content disputes, both you and me in most cases saw that there is more than "One Truth", and tried to defend that. I believe that's how both of us understand the sacred rule of NPOV. However, the recent conflicts with the Lithuanian club (and not-so-recent quarrels with the Russian-minded editors) taught me, that the "One Sacred Truth" will always win, no matter how many references you present. Our opponents do not present evidence (and when they do - it's Kazimieras Garšva), yet they prevail anyway.
Why? It seems to me that sheer number of votes is all that matters. They're plenty, we're few. In theory, all open-minded Wikipedians should take part in such content disputes and simply judge by the sources presented. However, in most cases nobody cares except for a small group of people - too small to make a difference. Users like Lokyz or Iulius can safely delete references they dislike - and it's perfectly right and well. But when you revert an article to restore the references - you're instantly reported to some ArbCom, RfA or some other place, where you have to waste time explaining that "you're not a camel", as we say here in Poland.
The same applies to cases of "simple" personal attacks and slanderous campaigns take place. Remember Renata's farewell letter? She accused me of all sorts of absurd things without presenting a single diff or link (of which there could be none), but noone stood in my defence. People don't care, we have to waste time defending ourselves.
Now on to your case. Of course, the accusations are in most cases completely absurd and out of the blue. Of course, holding this diff against you would be hilarious if it wasn't true (for the non-informed readers, the article deals with Jews from the areas annexed by Lithuania as well; erasing a mention of Polish Jews from there is similar to, say, erasing the mention of Polish Jews from the article on Warsaw Ghetto, arguing that there was no Poland back then). Same for the RfA against Lokyz you filed - you clearly tried to defend against a similar slander campaign that the one that finally pushed me out of Wikipedia. And now that's one of the main arguments against you. Sad but true.
Anyway, feel free to re-post this letter anywhere you please should you need it - or point me to a place you want me to. I simply lost track of all the links and places where the hunting season on you has started. // Halibu tt 01:45, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
