Piotrus,
I have added a number of citations where you indicated they were needed in addition to other places. I fear I have "over cited" the article as the list of References is longer than the article. I also removed general statements which I could not verify. Is this sufficient for me to remove the inline [citation needed} notations and are there other modifications that should be made.
Thanks for all your patience and help regarding this article. Cayman42 ( talk) 20:08, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in gender-related disputes or controversies or in people associated with them. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor. tgeorgescu ( talk) 08:09, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi, I deprodded Riders of the Range (comic strip) because a quick Google revealed sources, so there clearly is room for improvement before deletion should be considered. Best wishes NemesisAT ( talk) 17:06, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
I am leaving this message to let you know that the article Prince Nathan that you tagged for Proposed Deletion was removed by another user, and they failed to leave a note on your talk page about it. They also appear to not have given any reason for doing so. This can be seen in the articles edit history. As you were not informed, I have taken it upon myself to leave this here so you may consider either perusing Articles for Deletion, or improving and tagging the article with Edit Templates as adding a new PROD is not permitted.

Hi @ Piotrus:.
Sorry to bother you but I was wondering whether you could review Template:Did you know nominations/Sigismund III Vasa. The article has been upgraded to a GA status yesterday and I am not sure whether I have completed the DYK nomination correctly. Merangs ( talk) 04:17, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
DYK - my thinking - is for the things not known, and a cantata not yet printed (but recorded and performed) is exactly that. If it was by Bach, not Erlebach, there would be no doubt about a great discovery. Thank you for no AfD, because you are probably right. Will translate the Polish bass today, - help needed ;) -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:58, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, The Rambling Man and Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are Gog the Mild, Lee Vilenski, BennyOnTheLoose, Amakuru and Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.
Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

I removed the merge based on major new news about the character breaking after the proposal - the announcement of Jadis return to the franchise with the statement by Scott Gimple that "she is a big part of connecting the CRM and Three Circles mythology that's seen throughout all three series", the multiple positive third party coverage of this, the fact Jadis appears in two shows within the universe, the fact she was last seen taking off an injured Rick in a CRM helicopter and is now seen as part of the CRM in the trailer, means that the importance of the character has definitely increased as has media coverage since the original merge proposal. There's also the upcoming movies (assuming they actually happen) with Polyanna McIntosh confirmed to have a role in the movies as Jadis/Anne. I have added some additional references and googling for "Jadis Walking Dead" provides an enormous number of suitable sources to further flesh out the article. I certainly won't revert if anyone adds merge proposal back but it is my view that the character is of major importance ongoing and that seems to be backed by many suitable references.

Just a bit of rambling and definitely Original Research but thought this might at least amuse you and why I logged back into Wikipedia :-)
As you've been involved with military articles though it might interest you that the mysterious CRM don't just do small helicopters. At least 4 Chinooks were used in one operation (10 years in) seen on World Beyond so they have orders of magnitude more resources than any other group including the Commonwealth. The highest ranking member we have seen so far talks with a British accent and has the Union Jack (or Union Flag if you prefer) in her functional piped gas kitchen above the functional tv. They seem to be introducing something completely different from the comics. The idea that somewhere some part of high tech government and military never fell. They have spies everywhere. Jadis had luxury fully furnished containers with electricity, water etc. hidden inside the garbage - not to mention her own helicopter landing pad!
They have research facilities experimenting on zombies and perhaps even radio controlled exploding zombies - Okay that might be jumping the shark :-)
I'm fascinated with where they are going with (and why they wipe out colonies including their own for no good reason) this but could be a big let down. Anyway it got me to login again after years away! Citizensmith ( talk) 20:23, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi Piotrus!
Long time, no see ;) I found something interesting about Lucjan Żeligowski, which piqued my interest and could pique yours too. I found an article from 1955 in the Lithuanian magazine Tėvynės sargas, link to its scanned pages here, which had translated excerpts from parts of Żeligowski's memoirs in the Niepodległość III magazine which were released by the Józef Piłsudski Institute in London. These are the pages: 68, 69, 70, 71, 72. Here is the interesting bit (first in Lithuanian):
1920 spalių 9 d. su kariuomene, sudaryta Lietuvos ir Gudijos sūnų, užėmė Vilnių ne lenkų generolas Želigovskis, bet lietuvis Želigovskis, tas kuris būdamas vaikiščiu ateidavo iš Župronių į Vilnių mokyklos egzaminams ir nakvodavo ant miesto parkų suolų. <...> Tad nebuvau atsitiktinis atsiplakėlis Lietuvoje, o mano giminė turi ilgas tradicijas ir tarnavo tėvynės gynyboj. Mano svajonė buvo gyventi su tautiečiais Vilniaus žemėj. Neskirsčiau jų į lenkus, gudus ir žemaičius. Būdamas lietuviu, niekad nebuvau nustojęs būti lenku. Šios dvi sąvokos yra tarpusavy susipynusios. Jos viena kitą papildo. Visa tai kalbu dėl to, kad įrodyčiau, jog visa tai buvo kažkas daugiau, negu lenkų generolo Vilniaus užėmimo akcija.
In English: "On 9 October 1920, with the army, made up of the sons of Lithuania and Gudija (old Lithuanian name for Belarus), Vilnius was occupied not by the Polish general Żeligowski, but by the Lithuanian Żeligowski, who came as a child from Župroniai to Vilnius for school exams and spent the night on the benches of city parks. <... paragraph with examples from his ancestors fighting for Lithuania...> So I was not an accidental out-of-nowhere in Lithuania, but my family has a long tradition and served in the Fatherland's defence. My dream was to live with my countrymen in the Vilnius region. I did not divide them into Poles, Belarusians and Samogitians. As a Lithuanian, I never stopped being Polish. These two concepts are intertwined. They complement each other. I am talking about all this in order to prove that it was all more than a Polish general's seizure of Vilnius."
Interesting food for thought.-- Cukrakalnis ( talk) 20:30, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

You asked to be pinged. I was able to check the source quoted by one of the websites.

Thank you for your message!
I am new in Wikipedia. Before you decide with other Wikipedians to delete this article, I want to give you my opinion, why this article should stay in the English Wikipedia. I would be very happy if you could give me the chance to make this article better. The main critic is that the text does not meet the notability guidelines for companies and organizations and it should be proofed by reliable second sources.
First I want to explain why this article is part of the modern polish and international history of aviation in the special field of gliders.
Second I want to explain, which reliable second sources I have used. I put a lot of effort into this research.
1. Polish companies play an important role in the history of gliding and sailplanes, which is going back to the 1940s. The state owned development centre and glider production PZL /SZD company was the biggest in the world in the 1970s. Unfortunately, PZL Bielsko had to open an insolvency proceedings in 1996 after the changes in at the end of the 1980s. A few small polish companies are continuing this heritage. The history and development of modern polish gliders of the last 30 years is not displayed in Wikipedia. These companies as ”type certificate holder” are responsible in technical aspect for a huge fleet of thousands of gliders which are flown worldwide by different pilots. The glides have been produced before 1990 and after. Young polish glider aviation industry takes a important role nowadays in the international glider pilot community. For example, the world champion ship of aerobatic gliding is hold with the polish glider Swift S-1 and MDM-1 Fox by one of this companies which started the design in the 1990s. Allstar PZL Glider is one of them and is situated on the original grounds auf PZL Bielsko. The second country with a history of glider innovation and production is Germany, which goes back to the Second World War. A few companies (smaller than PZL) took part in the development of German aviation industry. This companies are still operating ad some were founded in the 1990s or took over other glider companies. Six of them, have their own English Wikipedia article. In comparison to this only one modern Polish glider company has its own article in Wikipedia. Both countries have important role in the innovation of gliding. I think the modern history should be represented equally.
2. This article can be proofed by second sources only, without quoting from the official company web page. Four different second sources from specialised publication were used for this article. Unfortunately, no English scientific book about modern Polish glider history has been published jet. Nobody else than the tow Polish authors Krzysztof Luto and Tomasz Murawski has written so much details about the last 30 years of Polish and SZD glider history. Tomasz Murawski has published detailed technical articles about the engineering process and the related history in several of his scientific books. His books from 2016 until 2021 are important resources of information. [1] Krzysztof Luto is author of the biggest polish aircraft web page [2], which have been quoted several times in Wikipedia. Another field of second sources are the different European aviation magazines. For example, the English magazine “Sailplane & Gliding” by the British Gliding Association. [3] It is an association for regulation and operation gliding in the UK for clubs and pilots. The German magazine “Aerokurier” specialized on private aviation by the publisher “Motorsport Presse Stuttgart” is independent, too. [4] If this sources are not enough the Danish “Nordig Gliding” magazine from the “national flyverforbund” can be quoted in addition. [5]
I am happy to shorten and rewrite the article and give other quotations for the topics in the article.
I would much appreciate, if you can give an answer to this message. Beeing new in Wikipedia, I have not understand fully how "WP:ECHO" works. I would be happy to get you reply on my talk page, because i do not want to miss it.

I don't know who you are talking about here but it took me about an hour (maybe 2?) to put together the proposal that, at the moment, seems to be leading to a topic-ban. I think, if you want something to be done ever, this would be a good moment to make a similar proposal. (Obviously, as the second one shows, it must be thought out at least a little bit.) -- JBL ( talk) 00:36, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
I've long since given up hope of solving that particular area of the encyclopedia with sanctions for the disruptive conduct of the users involved, since to non-specialists (virtually all of the admin corps when it comes to any particular topic) it tends to look like one "side" trying to "get rid of their opponents". Yeah, it's unfortunate that they can create as much trouble for the rest of us as they do on, for example,
Talk:Mottainai, but I've become resigned to the belief that it's just something whose continued existence we have to tolerate. Anyway, for some reason I can't find where you pinged me (your comment beginning While I am still not convinced we can solve much here...
?), but I might not be much help anyway.

The more you do, the more diffs there are to collect and Andrew has done much. I am sure has been over the line a few times. I think we can all support something short of a full Neutering. I mean nobody wants to be a Eunuch. :o
I was off last year and it seems the feud between the two sides has turned into something more. I know I had a part in that based on my own interactions. This is like a blood feud now. Like nothing short of exile will be acceptable. But maybe something short could be?
I know you are a thoughtful person and a careful editor - I avoided most of your AfDs recently because I knew you reasoned them out ...and you know a lot more than me about the area you work on. Andrew is one of my friends on this project - he edits in areas away from me. I am not his keeper just as he is not mine. But I know Andrew has to be in quiet reflection now. Like I am.
Cheers and best wishes! Lightburst ( talk) 22:41, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
I have just deprodded
Corwin of Amber and, as I said in my edit comment, I was concerned about your use of PROD. I know you to be a responsible editor and rather supposed you had just made a bit of a mistake. Looking further, I am less sure. I see at
Talk:The Pattern (The Chronicles of Amber)#Notability you very properly raise a notability issue for discussion. You say An alternative to deletion would be merger to The Chronicles of Amber but due to OR problem I see here I am not sure if anything warrants merging?
. But you also say you contemplate using PROD on this article. How can PROD be appropriate in your mind under these circumstances? Even if your assessment is correct and everyone implicitly or explicitly were to agree with you, how could it be that you reasonably think that this article title should become a red link? Would not the appropriate bold edit be to change it to a redirect and not to seek deletion?

On 7 November 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Japan and the Holocaust, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that while the Empire of Japan did not actively participate in the Holocaust, they were found to have committed holocausts of their own? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Japan and the Holocaust. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Japan and the Holocaust), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

Cześć. Treść tego hasła co najmniej oburza – brak tu podstawowych danych biograficznych oraz jakiejkolwiek wzmianki o naukowych osiągnięciach MZ, obficie za to serwuje się "krytykę" bez jakichkolwiek przypisów. Śmiech i płacz budzą m.in. stwierdzenia: "Instead, she appointed a group of relative political unknowns to her government in an effort to regain voters' trust and avoid defeat in the upcoming elections. The appointments included a former Olympic rower, Adam Korol, who was named sports and tourism minister, and Zembala who became the new minister for health." albo "The selection of Zembala as Health Minister was criticized by journalists as they emphasized that he was a great doctor, but healing the current situation in the Polish health service requires a lot of economic knowledge.". To wszystko bez przypisów. Mam nadzieję, że wkrótce zrobicie z tym porządek. Moja znajomość angielskiego mi na to nie pozwala. Pozdrawiam Horgelblob ( talk) 15:30, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Hey there, Piotrus. Recently, I noticed you tagged the article Apetor as not meeting notability guidelines, and I'd like to ask why you feel this way (especially considering you never left any comments anywhere). From the perspective of someone who edited that article heavily and added most of the references used, I'd wager that they show notability beyond any reasonable doubt.
I'm not entirely familiar with the Wikipedia guidelines, so there may have been something I missed here. Anyhow, I'd be grateful to hear your thoughts on the matter. Regards, ArcticSeeress ( talk) 16:51, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
Dear fellow editor,
I am Piotr Konieczny, a sociologist of new media at Hanyang University (and User:Piotrus on Wikipedia). I would like to better understand Wikipedia's volunteers who edit medical topics, many associated with the WikiProject Medicine, and known to create some of the highest quality content on Wikipedia. I hope that the lessons I can learn from you that I will present to the academic audience will benefit both the WikiProject Medicine (improving your understanding of yourself and helping to promote it and attract new volunteers) and the wider world of medical volunteering and academia. Open access copy of the resulting research will be made available at WikiProject's Medicine upon the completion of the project.
All questions are optional. The survey is divided into 4 parts: 1 - Brief description of yourself; 2 - Questions about your volunteering; 3 - Questions about WikiProject Medicine and 4 - Questions about Wikipedia's coverage of medical topics.
Please note that by filling out this questionnaire, you consent to participate in this research. The survey is anonymous and all personal details relevant to your experience will be kept private and will not be transferred to any third party.
I appreciate your support of this research and thank you in advance for taking the time to participate and share your experiences! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me at my Wikipedia user page or through my email listed on the survey page (or by Wikipedia email this user function).
The survey is accessible through the LINK HERE.

Hi, thanks for the survey message. Not sure why I've received it as I'm not a member of WikiProject Medicine, nor do I systematically edit medical articles.

Hi Piotrus, I just got an invite on my talk page to take part in a survey you are running. In principle I am fine with this, but I expected either the invitation or the intro of the survey to link to the authorisation/approval from the university at which you are employed, as I assume from the fact that you mention it, that they are aware of the survey and that it complies with their ethics standards, but there is no obvious way to check this directly.

Hi! You suggested that I renominate Mercury in fiction for GA status. Any particular suggestions about how best to improve the article beforehand? TompaDompa ( talk) 13:00, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
Hi, I would belatedly (I've been unable to log into my account for over a year) like to protest this and request to undo the deletion. No, this would obviously not be on GBooks or Gnews or Gscholar as all of these resources are heavily Anglo- and West-centered, and in any case Russia in the 1990s was a mess, and not integrated into any of these (nor can most of the media from that era be found on the internet). There needs to be a sanity check - the ORFAF was the main film festival of the Russian animation community, and in the 1990s was basically the only one (there was also KROK in Ukraine, but that was an international one that just also happened to accept a lot of Russian animated films). Look at the jury that year - Fyodor Hitruk, Eduard Nazarov, Yuriy Norshteyn - all of them very famous directors who'd won many international awards. No, it's not very easy to find sources that are not from the website of the festival itself, due to the abovementioned issues - I found a short blurb here and some video footage here. But there in all the contemporary sources, there is no question that the event happened and of the importance of the festival in those years. The awards from that year are mentioned in the films' profiles on animator.ru. Esn ( talk) 00:17, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
Hello, Piotrus. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " P2P Foundation".

The 2021 re-examination of RFA has been completed. 23 (plus 2 variants) ideas were proposed. Over 200 editors participated in this final phase. Three changes gained consensus and two proposals were identified by the closers as having the potential to gain consensus with some further discussion and iteration. Thanks to all who helped to close the discussion, and in particular Primefac, Lee Vilenski, and Ymblanter for closing the most difficult conversations and for TonyBallioni for closing the review of one of the closes.
The following proposals gained consensus and have all been implemented:
Why are you interested in becoming an administrator?Special thanks to xaosflux for help with implementation.
The following proposals were identified by the closers as having the potential to gain consensus with some further discussion and iteration:
Editors who wish to discuss these ideas or other ideas on how to try to address any of the six issues identified during phase 1 for which no proposal gained are encouraged to do so at RFA's talk page or an appropriate village pump.
A final and huge thanks all those who participated in this effort to improve our RFA process over the last 4 months.

Replying to the discussion here which got archived. As suggested, I requested undeletion, and also found a reference in an academic work that mentions widespread media coverage at the time. I certainly disagree with the notion that the individual festivals do not deserve their own article, as all of them got press and each of them was significant to the whole field of animation in Russia (being almost the only, and certainly the main, place where most of its practitioners gathered once a year). If the Oscars and the Cannes get yearly pages (or, to take a more pertinent example, the Annie Awards), I don't see why it shouldn't be the case for smaller notable festivals as well, even if they only get attention within one country.

At
Talk:Dalej jest noc#January 2022 edits you asked Also, what "negative information"?
. Your name and Grabowski's name appear on 92 pages on Wikipedia
[11], and I haven't looked at them all of course, but here are some things I noticed.
First, 92 is a lot of hits, and it seems to cover many articles over the last four or five years, e.g. Talk:Collaboration in German-occupied Poland/Archive 5#Should Grabowski be removed ? (2018), Talk:Jan Grabowski/Archive 6#Sourcing policy (2019), Talk:Jedwabne pogrom/Archive 7#Lead sources (2020), and Talk:The Holocaust in Poland/Archives/2023/March#Grabowski, again (2021).
In a 2018 thread at
Talk:Collaboration with the Axis powers/Archive 7#Grabowski, which
GizzyCatBella began with I pushed myself into reading Grabowski, and I have to tell you that I’m more and more wondering about his work. I speculate that he is doing it for publicity and money ...
(
Special:Diff/827842588), you wrote, ... instead of being a neutral historian, he clearly has (an anti-Polish) axe to grind ... I wonder if he has some personal reasons, or if such authors just hope that controversy = high book sales...
(
Special:Diff/828392718).
27 minutes later you started the Wikipedia article about Jan Grabowski ( Special:Permalink/828222911). You are also the creator and a top editor of Hunt for the Jews ( xtools), and a top editor of Dalej jest noc ( xtools), two works by Grabowski.
In 2020, Grabowski wrote an article about Wikipedia in which he mentioned you (among others)
[12]. You wrote an article in response
[13], which begins Chciałbym odnieść się do tekstu „Wrzuć brednię na Wikipedię. Polscy nacjonaliści wciskają kit zagranicznym czytelnikom” prof. Grabowskiego, zarówno jako wieloletni wikipedysta i osoba wzmiankowana w tym tekście, ale też jako profesor socjologii ze specjalizacją w nowych mediach, który Wikipedii poświęcił znaczną część swojej pracy badawczej i edukacyjnej.
(Gtranslate: I would like to refer to the text "Put nonsense on Wikipedia. Polish nationalists are stoning foreign readers ” prof. Grabowski, both as a long-time wikipedist and a person mentioned in this text, but also as a professor of sociology with a specialization in new media, who devoted a significant part of his research and educational work to Wikipedia.
), which was published along with Grabowski's response to it, which begins Z zainteresowaniem przeczytałem polemikę Piotra Koniecznego, wykładowcy socjologii w Hanyang University w Korei Południowej oraz wolontariusza Wikipedii, piszącego pod pseudonimem Piotruś.
(Gtranslate: I read with interest the polemic of Piotr Konieczny, a sociology lecturer at Hanyang University in South Korea, and a Wikipedia volunteer, writing under the pseudonym "Piotruś".
).
At
Special:Diff/1038351752 in August 2021, you removed Grabowski received death threats
among other content (... Grabowski's book is part of a "growing body of corrective scholarship" that discusses the indifference or complicity of European populations
).
At
Talk:Dalej jest noc#January 2022 edits, where you and GCB participated, GCB wrote So what I'm seeing here are 3 users clearly in favour of the restoration of the removed criticism, and 2 users are against it. The consensus appears to be to restore the text eliminated by K.e.Coffman. I'm going to act based on that. Thank you for participating in this consensus-building process.
(
Special:Diff/1065635951) and then GCB cleared a POV tag and restored the criticism (
Special:Diff/1065636388).
I understand both you and Grabowski are professors, and you don't agree with what he's written about Polish collaboration and other topics, and that's certainly your right to disagree, and also to publish your disagreements, it's a normal thing for academics to do. But I don't think you can also edit Wikipedia content about him or his work, per WP:BLPCOI. I don't think you should be part of a 3-v-2 vote in a discussion about adding criticism to a Wikipedia article about a book he co-edited, as appears to have happened at Talk:Dalej jest noc#January 2022 edits. Maybe you didn't have a COI when you started his articles, just strong opinions about him. Maybe he shouldn't be allowed to create a COI by publishing something about you. But when you decided to publish something about him, outside of Wikipedia, I think that's when you developed a COI, and since then (2020), you should not be editing anything about him or his works. I hope you will reconsider. Levivich 04:21, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Piotrus! I'm struggling a bit with United Jewish Socialist Workers Party, from various Polish sources it appears that a separate Ferajnigte party was created in Poland in 1918 (or 1919 per some sources). But it also seems that Ferajnigte continued to function as a Jewish section in PNS/NSPP even after the merger in 1922. However, my main ref (Kowalski, Geschichte der Sozialistischen Arbeiter-Internationale, (1923-1940)) says that PNS did not transform into a union of national sections. Can you have a look at https://www.zvab.com/kunst-grafik-poster/Zydowskie-ugrupowania-stronnictwa-polityczne-Polsce-I-sze/22923893267/bd , and see if there's something that could be extracted as good info from there, and give a feedback on whether the tone of the text is reasonable? It seems to me that the text might be taken from, or at least inspired by Korsch's Żydowskie ugrupowania wywrotowe w Polsce, which is flagged here (p. 402) as biased but still somehow adhering to historical objectivity. Also, any chance Korsch's book could be found online at Polish online libraries? -- Soman ( talk) 16:16, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

These contestants, like all the others who qualified for Round 2, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews of a large number of good articles as the contest ran concurrently with a GAN backlog drive. Well done all!

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Anything that should have been claimed for in Round 1 is no longer eligible for points. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Would you be able to enrich Polish entry about OLX company with the same Controversy section you have added to the English entry? It has been blocked for edits for new users so I can't do it myself.
Proposed translation:
Controversy
Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine which began on February 24, many international, particularly Western companies pulled out of Russia. Unlike most of its Western competitors, OLX has been slow to announce any disinvestments or scaling back of its operations in Russia, drawing criticism. The criticism concerned in particular its Avito service, which among others publishes advertisements about recruiting to the Russian army.[55][56]
Kontrowersje
W związku z Rosyjką inwazją na Ukrainę rozpoczętą 24 lutego 2022, wiele międzynarodowych, szczególnie zachodnich firm zadecydowało o zawieszeniu operacji w Rosji. W przeciwieństwie do większości jego zachodnich konkurentów, OLX nie podją decyzji o zaniechaniu ani zmniejszeniu zakresu działalności w Rosji. Związana z tym krytyka medialna dotyczyła w szczególności należącego do grupy OLX servisu Avito, który publikował w tym czasie między innymi ogłoszenia rekrutujące żołnierzy do rosyjskiej armii. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.63.13.161 ( talk) 15:38, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Since the user who initiated the transfer of 18th-century Poles to the "Polish-Lithuanian people" categories refuses to undo these changes, what is the procedure for reversing them? For me, this whole action borders on vandalism and is an example of a complete lack of knowledge of the subject. From what I can see the problem is wider than that, as there are similar comments in relation to the Welsh on this user's talk page. Marcelus ( talk) 13:25, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Cześć, Piszę w sprawie dyskusji toczącej się nad stworzonym przeze mnie w pl wiki artykułem Małgorzata Ścisłowicz.
Przeczytałem Twój profil, wkład w wikipiedię masz naprawdę imponujący. Piszesz że w polskiej wikipedii trudno kontrybuować, bo zasady nie są jasne i artykuły są wyrzucane. Wydaje mi się że artykuł który stworzyłem, opisuje postać encyklopedyczną, co jest poparte wieloma źródłami. Porównując do biografii wielu innych polskich aktorek i aktorów, którzy nie odznaczyli się nawet w filmie czy teatrze tak mocno jak Małgorzata, nie mówiąc o poemacie, który Bronisław Maj porównał do twórczości Miłosza, wydaje mi się niesprawiedliwe, że artykuł o tak bogatej postaci ma być wyrzucony, kiedy tamte nie są kwestionowane. Proszę o poradę jako doświadczonego wyjadacza, jak jeszcze uwiarygodnić encyklopedyczność postaci? Jak napisać artykuł, który przysłuży się światu? Edytowałem chyba pierwsze artykuły w polskiej Wikipedii, w początkach XXI w. Myślałem teraz, kiedy znowu mam więcej czasu, żeby do tego wrócić, bo koncepcja społecznego kontrybuowania w zachowaniu wiedzy wciąż bardzo mi się podoba. Ale widzę że obecnie napisanie jakiegokolwiek artykułu to jest chyba droga przez mękę i strata prywatnego czasu, bo i tak artykuł zostanie wyrzucony, jeśli komuś się tak spodoba.

WP:GOOGLEHITS in an erroneous manner. When I say "I see hits in Google News and Google Scholar that look promising" or the equivalent, that's neither a GOOGLEHITS or a
WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES argument. GOOGLEHITS would be if I made arguments about the abundance or paucity of hits; neither applies. THEREMUSTBESOURCES would be if I asserted that "sources are out there somewhere". By saying "Google News and Google Scholar are worth looking at" I'm saying "The nominator failed to do a sufficient BEFORE search, it's not my job to do it and/or I don't have time to do so, so if the nom wants to refute my !vote, he or she can go do the work that should have originally been done before the nomination."
By the way, your !vote there isn't policy or guideline based. The nominator suggests a redirection, which is the least disruptive way to solve the NOT#PLOT issue, and yet you argued for deletion regardless. That's... beneath your normal standard of discourse.

Hello Piotrus! I hope that You are still going strong despite some issues :) I need Your help! One art. (not mine) got a notice: "you included material copied/translated from the Polish Wikipedia. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. It's also required under the terms of the license". Ok, so I do understand the issue but I do not understand how to do it in practise - how do I give this "attribution"? I thought that it will be very usefull for my own work on en:wiki. I would widely appreciate Your help in this matter. Kid regards, Camdan ( talk) 21:17, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

The second round of the 2022 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 115 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top seven contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 11 featured articles and the 79 good articles achieved in total by contestants.
Our top scorers in round 2 were:
The rules for featured and good article reviews require the review to be of sufficient length; brief quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Am I reporting Czech sources as Polish? GizzyCatBella seems to think so. (see edit summary [19]) The parentheses on some sources are the languages other than Ukrainian reported by Google Translate, intended for the language parameter when the references are properly formatted, and it is true that some that it thought were Polish did not translate well, so this is plausible. If you have time, I would also appreciate it if you could cast an eye over the titles; at the time I thought that some of the abbreviations might not be coming across. Also, if there is anything there that should not be there (known Holocaust denial screeds for example) please also LMK. I will take another look at the article and my messages tonight.

Google Translate is reporting "Powstańcza" as Polish but apparently doesn't have the word in its vocabulary. However if I google search the word, I get Ukraińska Powstańcza Armia , the English version of which is Ukrainian Insurgent Army, which seems to make sense, but since I know what I don't know, which is a lot when it comes to Polish, I'd like a reality check. I am formatting sources as promised, and this is a book title. Thanks for any brainpower that you apply to this question. Elinruby ( talk) 07:32, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
Attacks on large cities and towns, the so-called district centers, were of special importance and required a large force, at least several hundred men. According to Ukrainian historian Anatoliy Kenty, the UPA command attacked the headquarters of district authorities:
Однією з найважливіших відмінностей української партизанської війни проди радянської влади були напади на великі міста та селища міського типу, так звані райцентри. Вони мали особливе значення. Для проведення такої атаки були потрібні великі сили, не менше кількох сотень людей. Шляхом нападів на штаб районної влади командування УПА за словами українського історика Анатолія Кентія мало намір: «а)змусити радянську владц залишити в райцентрах більше сил і тим самим послабити свою присутність в сільській місцевості; б)створювати перешкоди на шляху зміцнення місцевої влади і паралізувати їх дії проти визвольного руху; в)перервати збір сільськогосподарського контингенту та інші дії сільської влади [6]

In this edit to Talk:Cambridge Companions you said that you think in your field sociology the The Wiley Blackwell Companions are more popular over the Cambridge Companions. As such I wonder if you can point me to the websites of various sociology book publishers for consideration of a good university education. There is this Bibliography of sociology but it lists individual books rather than catalogs. For example Harvard University Press has https://www.hup.harvard.edu/results-list.php?hcid=43 1008] books for sociology as I write this sentence and presumably all of them are widely cited and as such their authors can have their own Wikipedia biographies here based on passing WP:PROF criteria. We can not list all the 1008 books of HUP in our Wikipedia article but surely you can point me to other publishers which publish sociology books. Solomon 7968 12:20, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

I think this should be kept, or perhaps merged and redirected to the Unexplained Phenomena page. These topics are of interest to people, including me, who have an interest in all unexplained or unsolved phenomena so a page collecting them together is helpful for navigation between the topics and to new ones I don’t know about yet. I agree there is ambiguity between the two pages, but it comes down to semantics, and if some people call it a mystery and some a phenomenon… why say one is right and not the other? If it leads people to Wikipedia via Google or other searches and helps them to find things… what’s the problem? DarrenG1985 ( talk) 05:56, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

I'd like to highlight one point, that the sources that the IP is providing don't actually talk about Onet and the Moszner test, one source recalls the controversy, however in a different context, not specifically discussing the test itself, simply recalling the incident. In short, what IP is arguing for is synthesis and his POV based on that. Thus, when reviewing the sources it is important not to take them at face value as relevant, just because the IP cited them. -- E-960 ( talk) 18:29, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment at User talk:MWD115. Could use your help, if you're willing, with other issues relating to this user. They are an interesting case, somewhere in the intersection of single-minded, productive, non-responsive, lax, and sealionish. Kind of a combo of a prolific article creator (often cited as the "most difficult task at Wikipedia") on the one hand, and yet on the other, someone who seems to have great difficulty in following simple "how to reply to me" instructions (see the discussion just above yours) after three years here. In the past, I've had to notify them numerous times about how to provide copy or translate attribution for their article creations involving WP:COPYRIGHT issues (now archived; latest here in excruciating detail; scope of the problem here; see also CCI). Their adherence to copyright is now much improved, but it's been long, slow, and repetitive, and the rare responses with brief but earnest promises seem to be forgotten or postponed. In any case, your recommendation to add WikiProjects is a good one; I added some follow-up, because they need spoon-feeding or it won't get done (and it still might not). So if you can keep half an eye out for how things go, that might help. Thanks again, Mathglot ( talk) 19:20, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Piotrus, I am still mostly retired but just noticed some nuanced work is needed on LGBT-free zone and I would appreciate it if you could flag the requirement in appropriate places as I have forgotten where one would do that - but obviously, stand by for some drama. The main issue is that the concept of the 'LGBT-free zone' is verifiably an activist construct by an artist [20] rather than a reality. The stated local government policy which was verifiably to make a district 'free of LGBT ideology' which was about de-funding and de-legitimizing LGBT activism. Therefore the article title is misleading and leads readers to assume there was an actual apartheid of sexuality in the country, which was indeed a common misconception. The title would need a change, perhaps a rare use of shock quotes. The intro would need the clarification to be made. Sorry I can't help further for now. - Chumchum7 ( talk) 05:55, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Piotrus,
I have added a number of citations where you indicated they were needed in addition to other places. I fear I have "over cited" the article as the list of References is longer than the article. I also removed general statements which I could not verify. Is this sufficient for me to remove the inline [citation needed} notations and are there other modifications that should be made.
Thanks for all your patience and help regarding this article. Cayman42 ( talk) 20:08, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you but I was wondering whether you could review Template:Did you know nominations/Sigismund III Vasa. The article has been upgraded to a GA status yesterday and I am not sure whether I have completed the DYK nomination correctly. Merangs ( talk) 04:17, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
DYK - my thinking - is for the things not known, and a cantata not yet printed (but recorded and performed) is exactly that.

The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, The Rambling Man and Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are Gog the Mild, Lee Vilenski, BennyOnTheLoose, Amakuru and Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.
Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

I removed the merge based on major new news about the character breaking after the proposal - the announcement of Jadis return to the franchise with the statement by Scott Gimple that "she is a big part of connecting the CRM and Three Circles mythology that's seen throughout all three series", the multiple positive third party coverage of this, the fact Jadis appears in two shows within the universe, the fact she was last seen taking off an injured Rick in a CRM helicopter and is now seen as part of the CRM in the trailer, means that the importance of the character has definitely increased as has media coverage since the original merge proposal. There's also the upcoming movies (assuming they actually happen) with Polyanna McIntosh confirmed to have a role in the movies as Jadis/Anne. I have added some additional references and googling for "Jadis Walking Dead" provides an enormous number of suitable sources to further flesh out the article. I certainly won't revert if anyone adds merge proposal back but it is my view that the character is of major importance ongoing and that seems to be backed by many suitable references. Citizensmith ( talk) 17:50, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
Just a bit of rambling and definitely Original Research but thought this might at least amuse you and why I logged back into Wikipedia :-)
As you've been involved with military articles though it might interest you that the mysterious CRM don't just do small helicopters. At least 4 Chinooks were used in one operation (10 years in) seen on World Beyond so they have orders of magnitude more resources than any other group including the Commonwealth. The highest ranking member we have seen so far talks with a British accent and has the Union Jack (or Union Flag if you prefer) in her functional piped gas kitchen above the functional tv. They seem to be introducing something completely different from the comics. The idea that somewhere some part of high tech government and military never fell. They have spies everywhere. Jadis had luxury fully furnished containers with electricity, water etc. hidden inside the garbage - not to mention her own helicopter landing pad!
They have research facilities experimenting on zombies and perhaps even radio controlled exploding zombies - Okay that might be jumping the shark :-)
I'm fascinated with where they are going with (and why they wipe out colonies including their own for no good reason) this but could be a big let down. Anyway it got me to login again after years away! Citizensmith ( talk) 20:23, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi Piotrus!
Long time, no see ;) I found something interesting about Lucjan Żeligowski, which piqued my interest and could pique yours too. I found an article from 1955 in the Lithuanian magazine Tėvynės sargas, link to its scanned pages here, which had translated excerpts from parts of Żeligowski's memoirs in the Niepodległość III magazine which were released by the Józef Piłsudski Institute in London. These are the pages: 68, 69, 70, 71, 72. Here is the interesting bit (first in Lithuanian):
1920 spalių 9 d. su kariuomene, sudaryta Lietuvos ir Gudijos sūnų, užėmė Vilnių ne lenkų generolas Želigovskis, bet lietuvis Želigovskis, tas kuris būdamas vaikiščiu ateidavo iš Župronių į Vilnių mokyklos egzaminams ir nakvodavo ant miesto parkų suolų. <...> Tad nebuvau atsitiktinis atsiplakėlis Lietuvoje, o mano giminė turi ilgas tradicijas ir tarnavo tėvynės gynyboj. Mano svajonė buvo gyventi su tautiečiais Vilniaus žemėj. Neskirsčiau jų į lenkus, gudus ir žemaičius. Būdamas lietuviu, niekad nebuvau nustojęs būti lenku. Šios dvi sąvokos yra tarpusavy susipynusios. Jos viena kitą papildo. Visa tai kalbu dėl to, kad įrodyčiau, jog visa tai buvo kažkas daugiau, negu lenkų generolo Vilniaus užėmimo akcija.
In English: "On 9 October 1920, with the army, made up of the sons of Lithuania and Gudija (old Lithuanian name for Belarus), Vilnius was occupied not by the Polish general Żeligowski, but by the Lithuanian Żeligowski, who came as a child from Župroniai to Vilnius for school exams and spent the night on the benches of city parks. <... paragraph with examples from his ancestors fighting for Lithuania...> So I was not an accidental out-of-nowhere in Lithuania, but my family has a long tradition and served in the Fatherland's defence. My dream was to live with my countrymen in the Vilnius region. I did not divide them into Poles, Belarusians and Samogitians. As a Lithuanian, I never stopped being Polish. These two concepts are intertwined. They complement each other. I am talking about all this in order to prove that it was all more than a Polish general's seizure of Vilnius."
Interesting food for thought.-- Cukrakalnis ( talk) 20:30, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your message!
I am new in Wikipedia. Before you decide with other Wikipedians to delete this article, I want to give you my opinion, why this article should stay in the English Wikipedia. I would be very happy if you could give me the chance to make this article better. The main critic is that the text does not meet the notability guidelines for companies and organizations and it should be proofed by reliable second sources.
First I want to explain why this article is part of the modern polish and international history of aviation in the special field of gliders.
Second I want to explain, which reliable second sources I have used. I put a lot of effort into this research.
1. Polish companies play an important role in the history of gliding and sailplanes, which is going back to the 1940s. The state owned development centre and glider production PZL /SZD company was the biggest in the world in the 1970s. Unfortunately, PZL Bielsko had to open an insolvency proceedings in 1996 after the changes in at the end of the 1980s. A few small polish companies are continuing this heritage. The history and development of modern polish gliders of the last 30 years is not displayed in Wikipedia. These companies as ”type certificate holder” are responsible in technical aspect for a huge fleet of thousands of gliders which are flown worldwide by different pilots. The glides have been produced before 1990 and after. Young polish glider aviation industry takes a important role nowadays in the international glider pilot community. For example, the world champion ship of aerobatic gliding is hold with the polish glider Swift S-1 and MDM-1 Fox by one of this companies which started the design in the 1990s. Allstar PZL Glider is one of them and is situated on the original grounds auf PZL Bielsko. The second country with a history of glider innovation and production is Germany, which goes back to the Second World War. A few companies (smaller than PZL) took part in the development of German aviation industry. This companies are still operating ad some were founded in the 1990s or took over other glider companies. Six of them, have their own English Wikipedia article. In comparison to this only one modern Polish glider company has its own article in Wikipedia. Both countries have important role in the innovation of gliding. I think the modern history should be represented equally.
2. This article can be proofed by second sources only, without quoting from the official company web page. Four different second sources from specialised publication were used for this article. Unfortunately, no English scientific book about modern Polish glider history has been published jet. Nobody else than the tow Polish authors Krzysztof Luto and Tomasz Murawski has written so much details about the last 30 years of Polish and SZD glider history. Tomasz Murawski has published detailed technical articles about the engineering process and the related history in several of his scientific books. His books from 2016 until 2021 are important resources of information. [1] Krzysztof Luto is author of the biggest polish aircraft web page [2], which have been quoted several times in Wikipedia. Another field of second sources are the different European aviation magazines. For example, the English magazine “Sailplane & Gliding” by the British Gliding Association. [3] It is an association for regulation and operation gliding in the UK for clubs and pilots. The German magazine “Aerokurier” specialized on private aviation by the publisher “Motorsport Presse Stuttgart” is independent, too. [4] If this sources are not enough the Danish “Nordig Gliding” magazine from the “national flyverforbund” can be quoted in addition. [5]
I am happy to shorten and rewrite the article and give other quotations for the topics in the article.
I would much appreciate, if you can give an answer to this message. Beeing new in Wikipedia, I have not understand fully how "WP:ECHO" works. I would be happy to get you reply on my talk page, because i do not want to miss it.

I don't know who you are talking about here but it took me about an hour (maybe 2?) to put together the proposal that, at the moment, seems to be leading to a topic-ban. I think, if you want something to be done ever, this would be a good moment to make a similar proposal.

I've long since given up hope of solving that particular area of the encyclopedia with sanctions for the disruptive conduct of the users involved, since to non-specialists (virtually all of the admin corps when it comes to any particular topic) it tends to look like one "side" trying to "get rid of their opponents". Yeah, it's unfortunate that they can create as much trouble for the rest of us as they do on, for example,
Talk:Mottainai, but I've become resigned to the belief that it's just something whose continued existence we have to tolerate. Anyway, for some reason I can't find where you pinged me (your comment beginning While I am still not convinced we can solve much here...
?), but I might not be much help anyway.

The more you do, the more diffs there are to collect and Andrew has done much. I am sure has been over the line a few times. I think we can all support something short of a full Neutering. I mean nobody wants to be a Eunuch. :o
I was off last year and it seems the feud between the two sides has turned into something more. I know I had a part in that based on my own interactions. This is like a blood feud now. Like nothing short of exile will be acceptable. But maybe something short could be?
I know you are a thoughtful person and a careful editor - I avoided most of your AfDs recently because I knew you reasoned them out ...and you know a lot more than me about the area you work on. Andrew is one of my friends on this project - he edits in areas away from me. I am not his keeper just as he is not mine. But I know Andrew has to be in quiet reflection now. Like I am.

I have just deprodded
Corwin of Amber and, as I said in my edit comment, I was concerned about your use of PROD. I know you to be a responsible editor and rather supposed you had just made a bit of a mistake. Looking further, I am less sure. I see at
Talk:The Pattern (The Chronicles of Amber)#Notability you very properly raise a notability issue for discussion. You say An alternative to deletion would be merger to The Chronicles of Amber but due to OR problem I see here I am not sure if anything warrants merging?
. But you also say you contemplate using PROD on this article. How can PROD be appropriate in your mind under these circumstances? Even if your assessment is correct and everyone implicitly or explicitly were to agree with you, how could it be that you reasonably think that this article title should become a red link? Would not the appropriate bold edit be to change it to a redirect and not to seek deletion?

Cześć. Treść tego hasła co najmniej oburza – brak tu podstawowych danych biograficznych oraz jakiejkolwiek wzmianki o naukowych osiągnięciach MZ, obficie za to serwuje się "krytykę" bez jakichkolwiek przypisów. Śmiech i płacz budzą m.in. stwierdzenia: "Instead, she appointed a group of relative political unknowns to her government in an effort to regain voters' trust and avoid defeat in the upcoming elections. The appointments included a former Olympic rower, Adam Korol, who was named sports and tourism minister, and Zembala who became the new minister for health." albo "The selection of Zembala as Health Minister was criticized by journalists as they emphasized that he was a great doctor, but healing the current situation in the Polish health service requires a lot of economic knowledge.".

Hey there, Piotrus. Recently, I noticed you tagged the article Apetor as not meeting notability guidelines, and I'd like to ask why you feel this way (especially considering you never left any comments anywhere). From the perspective of someone who edited that article heavily and added most of the references used, I'd wager that they show notability beyond any reasonable doubt.

Dear fellow editor,
I am Piotr Konieczny, a sociologist of new media at Hanyang University (and User:Piotrus on Wikipedia). I would like to better understand Wikipedia's volunteers who edit medical topics, many associated with the WikiProject Medicine, and known to create some of the highest quality content on Wikipedia. I hope that the lessons I can learn from you that I will present to the academic audience will benefit both the WikiProject Medicine (improving your understanding of yourself and helping to promote it and attract new volunteers) and the wider world of medical volunteering and academia. Open access copy of the resulting research will be made available at WikiProject's Medicine upon the completion of the project.
All questions are optional. The survey is divided into 4 parts: 1 - Brief description of yourself; 2 - Questions about your volunteering; 3 - Questions about WikiProject Medicine and 4 - Questions about Wikipedia's coverage of medical topics.
Please note that by filling out this questionnaire, you consent to participate in this research. The survey is anonymous and all personal details relevant to your experience will be kept private and will not be transferred to any third party.
I appreciate your support of this research and thank you in advance for taking the time to participate and share your experiences! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me at my Wikipedia user page or through my email listed on the survey page (or by Wikipedia email this user function).
The survey is accessible through the LINK HERE.

Hi Piotrus, I just got an invite on my talk page to take part in a survey you are running. In principle I am fine with this, but I expected either the invitation or the intro of the survey to link to the authorisation/approval from the university at which you are employed, as I assume from the fact that you mention it, that they are aware of the survey and that it complies with their ethics standards, but there is no obvious way to check this directly.

Hi! You suggested that I renominate Mercury in fiction for GA status. Any particular suggestions about how best to improve the article beforehand? TompaDompa ( talk) 13:00, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
Hi, I would belatedly (I've been unable to log into my account for over a year) like to protest this and request to undo the deletion. No, this would obviously not be on GBooks or Gnews or Gscholar as all of these resources are heavily Anglo- and West-centered, and in any case Russia in the 1990s was a mess, and not integrated into any of these (nor can most of the media from that era be found on the internet). There needs to be a sanity check - the ORFAF was the main film festival of the Russian animation community, and in the 1990s was basically the only one (there was also KROK in Ukraine, but that was an international one that just also happened to accept a lot of Russian animated films). Look at the jury that year - Fyodor Hitruk, Eduard Nazarov, Yuriy Norshteyn - all of them very famous directors who'd won many international awards. No, it's not very easy to find sources that are not from the website of the festival itself, due to the abovementioned issues - I found a short blurb here and some video footage here. But there in all the contemporary sources, there is no question that the event happened and of the importance of the festival in those years. The awards from that year are mentioned in the films' profiles on animator.ru. Esn ( talk) 00:17, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

Three changes gained consensus and two proposals were identified by the closers as having the potential to gain consensus with some further discussion and iteration. Thanks to all who helped to close the discussion, and in particular Primefac, Lee Vilenski, and Ymblanter for closing the most difficult conversations and for TonyBallioni for closing the review of one of the closes.
The following proposals gained consensus and have all been implemented:
Why are you interested in becoming an administrator?Special thanks to xaosflux for help with implementation.
The following proposals were identified by the closers as having the potential to gain consensus with some further discussion and iteration:
Editors who wish to discuss these ideas or other ideas on how to try to address any of the six issues identified during phase 1 for which no proposal gained are encouraged to do so at RFA's talk page or an appropriate village pump.
A final and huge thanks all those who participated in this effort to improve our RFA process over the last 4 months.

I am indeed trying to improve the encyclopedia, but I admit that reverting any of Molobo’s edits after his very public meltdown was in poor taste and I do not - nor did I - intend to do any more.— Ermenrich ( talk) 01:20, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

Replying to the discussion here which got archived. As suggested, I requested undeletion, and also found a reference in an academic work that mentions widespread media coverage at the time. I certainly disagree with the notion that the individual festivals do not deserve their own article, as all of them got press and each of them was significant to the whole field of animation in Russia (being almost the only, and certainly the main, place where most of its practitioners gathered once a year). If the Oscars and the Cannes get yearly pages (or, to take a more pertinent example, the Annie Awards), I don't see why it shouldn't be the case for smaller notable festivals as well, even if they only get attention within one country.

At
Talk:Dalej jest noc#January 2022 edits you asked Also, what "negative information"?
. Your name and Grabowski's name appear on 92 pages on Wikipedia
[11], and I haven't looked at them all of course, but here are some things I noticed.
First, 92 is a lot of hits, and it seems to cover many articles over the last four or five years, e.g. Talk:Collaboration in German-occupied Poland/Archive 5#Should Grabowski be removed ? (2018), Talk:Jan Grabowski/Archive 6#Sourcing policy (2019), Talk:Jedwabne pogrom/Archive 7#Lead sources (2020), and Talk:The Holocaust in Poland/Archives/2023/March#Grabowski, again (2021).
In a 2018 thread at
Talk:Collaboration with the Axis powers/Archive 7#Grabowski, which
GizzyCatBella began with I pushed myself into reading Grabowski, and I have to tell you that I’m more and more wondering about his work. I speculate that he is doing it for publicity and money ...
(
Special:Diff/827842588), you wrote, ... instead of being a neutral historian, he clearly has (an anti-Polish) axe to grind ... I wonder if he has some personal reasons, or if such authors just hope that controversy = high book sales...
(
Special:Diff/828392718).
27 minutes later you started the Wikipedia article about Jan Grabowski ( Special:Permalink/828222911). You are also the creator and a top editor of Hunt for the Jews ( xtools), and a top editor of Dalej jest noc ( xtools), two works by Grabowski.
In 2020, Grabowski wrote an article about Wikipedia in which he mentioned you (among others)
[12]. You wrote an article in response
[13], which begins Chciałbym odnieść się do tekstu „Wrzuć brednię na Wikipedię. Polscy nacjonaliści wciskają kit zagranicznym czytelnikom” prof. Grabowskiego, zarówno jako wieloletni wikipedysta i osoba wzmiankowana w tym tekście, ale też jako profesor socjologii ze specjalizacją w nowych mediach, który Wikipedii poświęcił znaczną część swojej pracy badawczej i edukacyjnej.
(Gtranslate: I would like to refer to the text "Put nonsense on Wikipedia. Polish nationalists are stoning foreign readers ” prof. Grabowski, both as a long-time wikipedist and a person mentioned in this text, but also as a professor of sociology with a specialization in new media, who devoted a significant part of his research and educational work to Wikipedia.
), which was published along with Grabowski's response to it, which begins Z zainteresowaniem przeczytałem polemikę Piotra Koniecznego, wykładowcy socjologii w Hanyang University w Korei Południowej oraz wolontariusza Wikipedii, piszącego pod pseudonimem Piotruś.
(Gtranslate: I read with interest the polemic of Piotr Konieczny, a sociology lecturer at Hanyang University in South Korea, and a Wikipedia volunteer, writing under the pseudonym "Piotruś".
).
At
Special:Diff/1038351752 in August 2021, you removed Grabowski received death threats
among other content (... Grabowski's book is part of a "growing body of corrective scholarship" that discusses the indifference or complicity of European populations
).
At
Talk:Dalej jest noc#January 2022 edits, where you and GCB participated, GCB wrote So what I'm seeing here are 3 users clearly in favour of the restoration of the removed criticism, and 2 users are against it. The consensus appears to be to restore the text eliminated by K.e.Coffman. I'm going to act based on that. Thank you for participating in this consensus-building process.
(
Special:Diff/1065635951) and then GCB cleared a POV tag and restored the criticism (
Special:Diff/1065636388).
I understand both you and Grabowski are professors, and you don't agree with what he's written about Polish collaboration and other topics, and that's certainly your right to disagree, and also to publish your disagreements, it's a normal thing for academics to do. But I don't think you can also edit Wikipedia content about him or his work, per WP:BLPCOI. I don't think you should be part of a 3-v-2 vote in a discussion about adding criticism to a Wikipedia article about a book he co-edited, as appears to have happened at Talk:Dalej jest noc#January 2022 edits. Maybe you didn't have a COI when you started his articles, just strong opinions about him. Maybe he shouldn't be allowed to create a COI by publishing something about you. But when you decided to publish something about him, outside of Wikipedia, I think that's when you developed a COI, and since then (2020), you should not be editing anything about him or his works. I hope you will reconsider. Levivich 04:21, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Piotrus! I'm struggling a bit with United Jewish Socialist Workers Party, from various Polish sources it appears that a separate Ferajnigte party was created in Poland in 1918 (or 1919 per some sources). But it also seems that Ferajnigte continued to function as a Jewish section in PNS/NSPP even after the merger in 1922. However, my main ref (Kowalski, Geschichte der Sozialistischen Arbeiter-Internationale, (1923-1940)) says that PNS did not transform into a union of national sections. Can you have a look at https://www.zvab.com/kunst-grafik-poster/Zydowskie-ugrupowania-stronnictwa-polityczne-Polsce-I-sze/22923893267/bd , and see if there's something that could be extracted as good info from there, and give a feedback on whether the tone of the text is reasonable? It seems to me that the text might be taken from, or at least inspired by Korsch's Żydowskie ugrupowania wywrotowe w Polsce, which is flagged here (p. 402) as biased but still somehow adhering to historical objectivity. Also, any chance Korsch's book could be found online at Polish online libraries? -- Soman ( talk) 16:16, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

These contestants, like all the others who qualified for Round 2, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews of a large number of good articles as the contest ran concurrently with a GAN backlog drive. Well done all! To qualify for Round 3, contestants will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two participants.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Anything that should have been claimed for in Round 1 is no longer eligible for points. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points.

Would you be able to enrich Polish entry about OLX company with the same Controversy section you have added to the English entry? It has been blocked for edits for new users so I can't do it myself.
Proposed translation:
Controversy
Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine which began on February 24, many international, particularly Western companies pulled out of Russia. Unlike most of its Western competitors, OLX has been slow to announce any disinvestments or scaling back of its operations in Russia, drawing criticism. The criticism concerned in particular its Avito service, which among others publishes advertisements about recruiting to the Russian army.[55][56]
Kontrowersje
W związku z Rosyjką inwazją na Ukrainę rozpoczętą 24 lutego 2022, wiele międzynarodowych, szczególnie zachodnich firm zadecydowało o zawieszeniu operacji w Rosji. W przeciwieństwie do większości jego zachodnich konkurentów, OLX nie podją decyzji o zaniechaniu ani zmniejszeniu zakresu działalności w Rosji. Związana z tym krytyka medialna dotyczyła w szczególności należącego do grupy OLX servisu Avito, który publikował w tym czasie między innymi ogłoszenia rekrutujące żołnierzy do rosyjskiej armii. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.63.13.161 ( talk) 15:38, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Since the user who initiated the transfer of 18th-century Poles to the "Polish-Lithuanian people" categories refuses to undo these changes, what is the procedure for reversing them? For me, this whole action borders on vandalism and is an example of a complete lack of knowledge of the subject. From what I can see the problem is wider than that, as there are similar comments in relation to the Welsh on this user's talk page. Marcelus ( talk) 13:25, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Cześć, Piszę w sprawie dyskusji toczącej się nad stworzonym przeze mnie w pl wiki artykułem Małgorzata Ścisłowicz.
Przeczytałem Twój profil, wkład w wikipiedię masz naprawdę imponujący. Piszesz że w polskiej wikipedii trudno kontrybuować, bo zasady nie są jasne i artykuły są wyrzucane. Wydaje mi się że artykuł który stworzyłem, opisuje postać encyklopedyczną, co jest poparte wieloma źródłami. Porównując do biografii wielu innych polskich aktorek i aktorów, którzy nie odznaczyli się nawet w filmie czy teatrze tak mocno jak Małgorzata, nie mówiąc o poemacie, który Bronisław Maj porównał do twórczości Miłosza, wydaje mi się niesprawiedliwe, że artykuł o tak bogatej postaci ma być wyrzucony, kiedy tamte nie są kwestionowane. Proszę o poradę jako doświadczonego wyjadacza, jak jeszcze uwiarygodnić encyklopedyczność postaci? Jak napisać artykuł, który przysłuży się światu? Edytowałem chyba pierwsze artykuły w polskiej Wikipedii, w początkach XXI w. Myślałem teraz, kiedy znowu mam więcej czasu, żeby do tego wrócić, bo koncepcja społecznego kontrybuowania w zachowaniu wiedzy wciąż bardzo mi się podoba. Ale widzę że obecnie napisanie jakiegokolwiek artykułu to jest chyba droga przez mękę i strata prywatnego czasu, bo i tak artykuł zostanie wyrzucony, jeśli komuś się tak spodoba.

The article Static Media has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Fails WP:GNG
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

I see that on the now-closed Gwen Tennyson
AfD, you're again using
WP:GOOGLEHITS in an erroneous manner. When I say "I see hits in Google News and Google Scholar that look promising" or the equivalent, that's neither a GOOGLEHITS or a
WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES argument. GOOGLEHITS would be if I made arguments about the abundance or paucity of hits; neither applies. THEREMUSTBESOURCES would be if I asserted that "sources are out there somewhere". By saying "Google News and Google Scholar are worth looking at" I'm saying "The nominator failed to do a sufficient BEFORE search, it's not my job to do it and/or I don't have time to do so, so if the nom wants to refute my !vote, he or she can go do the work that should have originally been done before the nomination."
By the way, your !vote there isn't policy or guideline based. The nominator suggests a redirection, which is the least disruptive way to solve the NOT#PLOT issue, and yet you argued for deletion regardless. That's... beneath your normal standard of discourse.

Hello Piotrus! I hope that You are still going strong despite some issues :) I need Your help! One art. (not mine) got a notice: "you included material copied/translated from the Polish Wikipedia. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. It's also required under the terms of the license". Ok, so I do understand the issue but I do not understand how to do it in practise - how do I give this "attribution"? I thought that it will be very usefull for my own work on en:wiki. I would widely appreciate Your help in this matter. Kid regards, Camdan ( talk) 21:17, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

The second round of the 2022 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 115 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top seven contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 11 featured articles and the 79 good articles achieved in total by contestants.
Our top scorers in round 2 were:
The rules for featured and good article reviews require the review to be of sufficient length; brief quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Am I reporting Czech sources as Polish? GizzyCatBella seems to think so. (see edit summary [19]) The parentheses on some sources are the languages other than Ukrainian reported by Google Translate, intended for the language parameter when the references are properly formatted, and it is true that some that it thought were Polish did not translate well, so this is plausible. If you have time, I would also appreciate it if you could cast an eye over the titles; at the time I thought that some of the abbreviations might not be coming across. Also, if there is anything there that should not be there (known Holocaust denial screeds for example) please also LMK. I will take another look at the article and my messages tonight.

Google Translate is reporting "Powstańcza" as Polish but apparently doesn't have the word in its vocabulary. However if I google search the word, I get Ukraińska Powstańcza Armia , the English version of which is Ukrainian Insurgent Army, which seems to make sense, but since I know what I don't know, which is a lot when it comes to Polish, I'd like a reality check. I am formatting sources as promised, and this is a book title. Thanks for any brainpower that you apply to this question. Elinruby ( talk) 07:32, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
Attacks on large cities and towns, the so-called district centers, were of special importance and required a large force, at least several hundred men. According to Ukrainian historian Anatoliy Kenty, the UPA command attacked the headquarters of district authorities:
Однією з найважливіших відмінностей української партизанської війни проди радянської влади були напади на великі міста та селища міського типу, так звані райцентри. Вони мали особливе значення. Для проведення такої атаки були потрібні великі сили, не менше кількох сотень людей. Шляхом нападів на штаб районної влади командування УПА за словами українського історика Анатолія Кентія мало намір: «а)змусити радянську владц залишити в райцентрах більше сил і тим самим послабити свою присутність в сільській місцевості; б)створювати перешкоди на шляху зміцнення місцевої влади і паралізувати їх дії проти визвольного руху; в)перервати збір сільськогосподарського контингенту та інші дії сільської влади [6]

In this edit to Talk:Cambridge Companions you said that you think in your field sociology the The Wiley Blackwell Companions are more popular over the Cambridge Companions. As such I wonder if you can point me to the websites of various sociology book publishers for consideration of a good university education. There is this Bibliography of sociology but it lists individual books rather than catalogs. For example Harvard University Press has https://www.hup.harvard.edu/results-list.php?hcid=43 1008] books for sociology as I write this sentence and presumably all of them are widely cited and as such their authors can have their own Wikipedia biographies here based on passing WP:PROF criteria. We can not list all the 1008 books of HUP in our Wikipedia article but surely you can point me to other publishers which publish sociology books. Solomon 7968 12:20, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

I think this should be kept, or perhaps merged and redirected to the Unexplained Phenomena page. These topics are of interest to people, including me, who have an interest in all unexplained or unsolved phenomena so a page collecting them together is helpful for navigation between the topics and to new ones I don’t know about yet. I agree there is ambiguity between the two pages, but it comes down to semantics, and if some people call it a mystery and some a phenomenon… why say one is right and not the other? If it leads people to Wikipedia via Google or other searches and helps them to find things… what’s the problem? DarrenG1985 ( talk) 05:56, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

I'd like to highlight one point, that the sources that the IP is providing don't actually talk about Onet and the Moszner test, one source recalls the controversy, however in a different context, not specifically discussing the test itself, simply recalling the incident. In short, what IP is arguing for is synthesis and his POV based on that. Thus, when reviewing the sources it is important not to take them at face value as relevant, just because the IP cited them. -- E-960 ( talk) 18:29, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment at User talk:MWD115. Could use your help, if you're willing, with other issues relating to this user. They are an interesting case, somewhere in the intersection of single-minded, productive, non-responsive, lax, and sealionish. Kind of a combo of a prolific article creator (often cited as the "most difficult task at Wikipedia") on the one hand, and yet on the other, someone who seems to have great difficulty in following simple "how to reply to me" instructions (see the discussion just above yours) after three years here. In the past, I've had to notify them numerous times about how to provide copy or translate attribution for their article creations involving WP:COPYRIGHT issues (now archived; latest here in excruciating detail; scope of the problem here; see also CCI). Their adherence to copyright is now much improved, but it's been long, slow, and repetitive, and the rare responses with brief but earnest promises seem to be forgotten or postponed. In any case, your recommendation to add WikiProjects is a good one; I added some follow-up, because they need spoon-feeding or it won't get done (and it still might not). So if you can keep half an eye out for how things go, that might help. Thanks again, Mathglot ( talk) 19:20, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

There is WP:Webcomic sources. It has very little history and I wrote/compiled most of the text on this page. It serves as a useful reference point or discussion location. Feel free to start discussions on its talk page! ~ Maplestrip/Mable ( chat) 08:49, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
I've came across a new draft, Draft:Nemesis (board game), and I think you asked to undelete it. Right now, there are 3 refs counting towards GNG (GamesRadar, Tabletop Magazine, Ars Technica), but its gameplay section is unencyclopedic. If you could clean it up and see if it's okay for mainspace it'd be great! Please reply at draft talk, thanks! VickKiang ( talk) 11:47, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Piotrus, I am still mostly retired but just noticed some nuanced work is needed on LGBT-free zone and I would appreciate it if you could flag the requirement in appropriate places as I have forgotten where one would do that - but obviously, stand by for some drama. The main issue is that the concept of the 'LGBT-free zone' is verifiably an activist construct by an artist [20] rather than a reality. The stated local government policy which was verifiably to make a district 'free of LGBT ideology' which was about de-funding and de-legitimizing LGBT activism. Therefore the article title is misleading and leads readers to assume there was an actual apartheid of sexuality in the country, which was indeed a common misconception. The title would need a change, perhaps a rare use of shock quotes. The intro would need the clarification to be made. Sorry I can't help further for now. - Chumchum7 ( talk) 05:55, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
Good morning sir. I was wondering if you could patch up a few unsourced paragraphs quickly - the anniversary is on Aug 5. Thanks Bumbubookworm ( talk) 21:55, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
To answer your question, yes. Kiz o r 12:35, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
