In the last two weeks User:ClaretAsh – who joined the project from Australia in October 2010 – created a new Template:Culture of region on top of an already existing Template:Region culture. There was no discussion at any of the relevant portals i.e. Portal:Contents/Culture and the arts, Portal:Culture, or the country-specific portals such as our own WikiProject Poland. He used Romania as the base for his new creation. [1] Why Romania? Then, without as much as a word of introduction, he replaced the long existing Template:Culture of Poland with his own new template using a misleading edit summary "(Updating sidebar)" as if there was anything wrong with the old one. [2] As a result, some arbitrary red links showed up at our template, with no relevance whatsoever to subjects already covered by our community such as Mythology and Folklore; not to mention, the new generic flagicon. What do you think? Poeticbent talk 16:16, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
Template used before: {{Region culture}}{{ Region culture}} |
Brand new replacement: {{Culture of region}}

Without a word of consensus from anybody ClaretAsh ( talk · contribs) just started to bestow many other projects with his new prototype and even reformat articles to comply with its design structure, i.e. Russian culture → N Folklore of Russia. Please comment. More info at Template talk:Culture of region. Poeticbent talk 15:18, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
It is a good idea to seek the opinions of other editors before embarking on a design of a new infobox or redesign of an existing one. Most requirements are already met by an existing infobox and most of the remainder can be met with a tweak. Unnecessary duplication leads to clutter and article divergence. Prototype your new design in your own user space. Once prototyped, propose the infobox changes to the appropriate WikiProject and gain consensus before deploying your new design in the template namespace.
I've recently reviewed this for B-class, and found the article had several issues, including NPOV. The author disagrees with me. Was I too harsh? A third opinion would be appreciated. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 17:21, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
The Project may wish to do occasional checks on new sports WP:BLP stubs, to ensure BLP accuracy, such as category:Polish male tennis players, or any sport where Polish national players have been created from English sports media sources. An example is Blazej Koniusz, to which I added Polish source and diacritics in lede line and added WP:Poland tag. (the article cannot be moved without WP:RM since it was created without accents, at the same time as a REDIRECT from Błażej Koniusz to Blazej Koniusz was created, preventing a move).

At the suggestion of Piotrus, I've decided to leave a comment here, explaining that I've been trying to move the requested articles from the by country sub-section to each appropriate wiki-project (so that wikipedians interested in each specific country would be more aware of these articles) and also because the page by country was extremely long and difficult to navigate easily. I created a navbox, you can find at Template:Requested articles navbox that lists each country with a link to the requested article sections/pages for each country's wikiproject. Some, I was unable to locate and I took the liberty of creating some of the project requested article pages. As Piotrus pointed out, some countries have few requested articles and as such, I've decided to redirect the requested article link for poland to this talk page, assuming it's alright with the wikiproject poland community. Thanks! Ncboy2010 ( talk) 11:19, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

As I am finishing the expansion of Baptism of Poland (felt like I needed some change from the 18th century), I am having trouble with an important claim/date. What is more common as the date that marks the creation of the Polish state: 960 (Mieszko I ascends to power), or 966 (Baptism of Poland)? I am having trouble finding good sources for either, and sadly, I currently don't have any good access to the generic "history of" books.

I'm sorry about this, I noticed this nonsense a year ago, but have only myself stepped in since the antics of 1 or 2 "English names only" editors appear to be getting more intrusive and disruptive. WP:BLP requires a higher standard of accuracy than the rest of WP, and on this basis I believe the following page move and deletion of the BLP source verifying the correct name is counter WP:BLP accuracy guidelines. can someone please verify that www.tenis.sport24.pl is a reliable and accurate source. Thanks. In ictu oculi ( talk) 13:59, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
Please do not input å â ñ é ö or any other letter which is not part of the English alphabet
To wind this up, an admin has no closed the RM which Piotrus initiated to return the above BLP to accurate spelling. The lede now reads:
Błażej Koniusz[1] (IPA [ˈbwaʒɛi ˈkɔɳʊʂ]) (born February 22, 1988[2] in Świętochłowice), known professionally dubious – discuss as Blazej Koniusz[3][4][5], is a tennis player from Poland. Koniusz began playing at the age of four, and joined his first club at the age of seven. He began his senior career in 2006.[6] He played for the Polish Davis Cup squad in 2008[7]
The remaining 100 or so BLPs affected are mainly WikiProject Czech Republic BLPs, I don't think category:Polish male tennis players has any more that have been "anglicized" in this manner. In ictu oculi ( talk) 02:57, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Should WP:POLAND be used on:
Personally I'd exclude 2nd generation immigrants. Just being a descendant of a Pole is not enough to make one of any relevance to Poland - it's a little like PSB ctieria (at the same time, foreigners can be within PSB/WP:POLAND scope, particularly, notable immigrants to Poland). With regards to locations, I am trying to draw a more clear guideline, but am blanking on any useful thought ATM. Thoughts? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 19:30, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
Any specific criteria, like second generation, won't work. Generally, it's not even possible to define who's a Pole or Polish and who is not. A lot depends on how a person identifies himself or herself. They've been saying for many decades that Chicago is the most populous Polish city other than Warsaw. Apart from the fact that this is obviously not true, who do you consider Polish in Chicago? Somebody from Poland, or who speaks Polish, or of Polish ancestry, or of half-Polish ancestry, or with Polish citizenship, or who considers herself Polish? St. Stanislaus Kostka Church in Chicago was built by Polish immigrants from the January Uprising generation. All the inscriptions are in Polish. Definitely a historically important Polish place, even though few Polish speaking Poles attend the church now. You have to play it by ear, on case-by-case basis. In general I feel Polonia and its matters should definitely be included; as to how and to what degree, I don't know. As usual, the Devil is in the details. Orczar ( talk) 04:49, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
My comment was partially sparked by the inclusion of Basilica of St. Josaphat in the project scope. It's an American church, "dedicated to Josaphat Kuncevyc, a Polish-Ruthenian martyr", "founded in 1888 by immigrant Poles in Milwaukee", built "in the so-called Polish Cathedral style". That's seems to be the extent of that building's connection to Poland. Should we treat all such buildings (built by Polonia at some time in the past) as within the project's scope? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 16:25, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

So I thought - why not do it the day after Stańczyk? :) Btw, I couldn't find anything on WWII history of that painting, which surprised me - I'd have thought it would have been looted or such, at least. If anybody could expand on that, please do. On another note, this also means that all five of Matejko's paintings we have articles on en wiki so far are de-stubbed and are/will be DYKed. Still, so many others remain to be written about... I'd like to do articles on Rejtan and Racławice in the future, but so many others look tempting, too. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 01:13, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
Seeing a red link in the article, I decided to fill the gap. Being a kind of systematic, bottom-up guy, I started tracing ramifications, and suddenly I am stuck in the wikipedia bog. Unfortunately I don't have much time, so please help wikipedia with the mess I started to unravel, starting with "Objects of cultural heritage in Poland" (was under the title "zabytek") And someone was seriously intended to write here the article " pomnik historii". I understand that Conversations with God for a Pole (who is second to a Spaniard in piety (I don't count Italians; they don't look serious, despite encircling the Vatican) is of Top priority, but in wikipedia we have NPOVs and such, so I'd suggest first things first the fundamental topics are to fix first.

Looking at Template:National symbols of Poland, I don't see why the saints should be there. Black Madonna, perhaps, but how many people heard of Bobola or Kostka? Matejko or Mickiewicz would be better there; in fact I'd suggest adding a list of most famous people who can be seen as symbols of Poland, one for each category of culture: Chopin for music, Mickiewicz for poetry, Matejko for painting, Curie-Skłodowska for science. For literature, I guess both Reymont and Szymborska as the two Nobel-prize winners. For politics, Wałęsa, and for religion, the Pope. What do you think? That would leave sports (Małysz?). Anything else? Something to represent Polish cuisine ( pierogi) and architecture...? Alternatively, if this is bloating the template too much, cut stuff? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 00:00, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

There are very few of those, perhaps we should create a list? I just stumbled upon something I was unaware of before. PAN publishes two journals, Nauka and Academia, which seem to be archived online - at least the new issues:
Off the top of my head, IPN publishes a lot of stuff online, I think with a few months delay between print and free online archiving at [13]. And there is Central and Eastern European Online Library and Sarmatian Review. Some recent issues of UJ Alma Mater are also free online ( [14]). There are also Zwoje (not sure if they are peer reviewed), and BIAŁORUSKIE ZESZYTY HISTORYCZNE. As far as I know Mówią Wieki is mostly not archived online nor free so they are pretty much useless, but for an occasional sample article ( [15]). Please list anything else that comes to mind, and if we get enough useful info I'll see about splitting this into a dedicated page somewhere under our Poland project. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 19:45, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

The media file uploaded as File:Zwirko RWD-6.jpg appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.
It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.
Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

Template names don't really matter so much (the text displayed within them does), but categories and article names should be consistent. Category:Voivodeship assemblies in Poland contains articles which are Xxx Regional Assembly, but regions are called voivodeships everywhere else - obviously there was a lot of discussion about voivodeship lately. With counties, the categories also use the word county rather than powiat. I think this kind of thing would be better if consistent. Severo T C 21:08, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Editors on this WikiProject may be interested in the ongoing RfC on Talk:Caste. The article lists Poland as a region that has historically had a caste system, along with other countries, claims which some editors have found controversial. Editors critical of the current article have argued that the article has become a WP:COATRACK used to push the view that the caste system is not linked to Hinduism or India, while others have defended the article's portrayal of the caste as a universal phenomenon. The input of editors familiar with Polish history would be most helpful in this discussion. Was Polish society a caste?

In the last two weeks User:ClaretAsh – who joined the project from Australia in October 2010 – created a new Template:Culture of region on top of an already existing Template:Region culture. There was no discussion at any of the relevant portals i.e. Portal:Contents/Culture and the arts, Portal:Culture, or the country-specific portals such as our own WikiProject Poland. He used Romania as the base for his new creation. [1] Why Romania? Then, without as much as a word of introduction, he replaced the long existing Template:Culture of Poland with his own new template using a misleading edit summary "(Updating sidebar)" as if there was anything wrong with the old one. [2] As a result, some arbitrary red links showed up at our template, with no relevance whatsoever to subjects already covered by our community such as Mythology and Folklore; not to mention, the new generic flagicon. What do you think? Poeticbent talk 16:16, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
Template used before: {{Region culture}}{{ Region culture}} |
Brand new replacement: {{Culture of region}}

Without a word of consensus from anybody ClaretAsh ( talk · contribs) just started to bestow many other projects with his new prototype and even reformat articles to comply with its design structure, i.e. Russian culture → N Folklore of Russia.

It is a good idea to seek the opinions of other editors before embarking on a design of a new infobox or redesign of an existing one. Most requirements are already met by an existing infobox and most of the remainder can be met with a tweak. Unnecessary duplication leads to clutter and article divergence. Prototype your new design in your own user space. Once prototyped, propose the infobox changes to the appropriate WikiProject and gain consensus before deploying your new design in the template namespace.
I've recently reviewed this for B-class, and found the article had several issues, including NPOV. The author disagrees with me. Was I too harsh? A third opinion would be appreciated. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 17:21, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
The Project may wish to do occasional checks on new sports WP:BLP stubs, to ensure BLP accuracy, such as category:Polish male tennis players, or any sport where Polish national players have been created from English sports media sources. An example is Blazej Koniusz, to which I added Polish source and diacritics in lede line and added WP:Poland tag. (the article cannot be moved without WP:RM since it was created without accents, at the same time as a REDIRECT from Błażej Koniusz to Blazej Koniusz was created, preventing a move).

At the suggestion of Piotrus, I've decided to leave a comment here, explaining that I've been trying to move the requested articles from the by country sub-section to each appropriate wiki-project (so that wikipedians interested in each specific country would be more aware of these articles) and also because the page by country was extremely long and difficult to navigate easily. I created a navbox, you can find at Template:Requested articles navbox that lists each country with a link to the requested article sections/pages for each country's wikiproject. Some, I was unable to locate and I took the liberty of creating some of the project requested article pages. As Piotrus pointed out, some countries have few requested articles and as such, I've decided to redirect the requested article link for poland to this talk page, assuming it's alright with the wikiproject poland community.

As I am finishing the expansion of Baptism of Poland (felt like I needed some change from the 18th century), I am having trouble with an important claim/date.

I'm sorry about this, I noticed this nonsense a year ago, but have only myself stepped in since the antics of 1 or 2 "English names only" editors appear to be getting more intrusive and disruptive. WP:BLP requires a higher standard of accuracy than the rest of WP, and on this basis I believe the following page move and deletion of the BLP source verifying the correct name is counter WP:BLP accuracy guidelines. can someone please verify that www.tenis.sport24.pl is a reliable and accurate source. Thanks. In ictu oculi ( talk) 13:59, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
Please do not input å â ñ é ö or any other letter which is not part of the English alphabet
To wind this up, an admin has no closed the RM which Piotrus initiated to return the above BLP to accurate spelling. The lede now reads:
Błażej Koniusz[1] (IPA [ˈbwaʒɛi ˈkɔɳʊʂ]) (born February 22, 1988[2] in Świętochłowice), known professionally dubious – discuss as Blazej Koniusz[3][4][5], is a tennis player from Poland. Koniusz began playing at the age of four, and joined his first club at the age of seven. He began his senior career in 2006.[6] He played for the Polish Davis Cup squad in 2008[7]
The remaining 100 or so BLPs affected are mainly WikiProject Czech Republic BLPs, I don't think category:Polish male tennis players has any more that have been "anglicized" in this manner. In ictu oculi ( talk) 02:57, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Should WP:POLAND be used on:
Personally I'd exclude 2nd generation immigrants. Just being a descendant of a Pole is not enough to make one of any relevance to Poland - it's a little like PSB ctieria (at the same time, foreigners can be within PSB/WP:POLAND scope, particularly, notable immigrants to Poland). With regards to locations, I am trying to draw a more clear guideline, but am blanking on any useful thought ATM. Thoughts? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 19:30, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
Any specific criteria, like second generation, won't work. Generally, it's not even possible to define who's a Pole or Polish and who is not. A lot depends on how a person identifies himself or herself. They've been saying for many decades that Chicago is the most populous Polish city other than Warsaw. Apart from the fact that this is obviously not true, who do you consider Polish in Chicago? Somebody from Poland, or who speaks Polish, or of Polish ancestry, or of half-Polish ancestry, or with Polish citizenship, or who considers herself Polish? St. Stanislaus Kostka Church in Chicago was built by Polish immigrants from the January Uprising generation. All the inscriptions are in Polish. Definitely a historically important Polish place, even though few Polish speaking Poles attend the church now. You have to play it by ear, on case-by-case basis. In general I feel Polonia and its matters should definitely be included; as to how and to what degree, I don't know. As usual, the Devil is in the details. Orczar ( talk) 04:49, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
My comment was partially sparked by the inclusion of Basilica of St. Josaphat in the project scope. It's an American church, "dedicated to Josaphat Kuncevyc, a Polish-Ruthenian martyr", "founded in 1888 by immigrant Poles in Milwaukee", built "in the so-called Polish Cathedral style". That's seems to be the extent of that building's connection to Poland. Should we treat all such buildings (built by Polonia at some time in the past) as within the project's scope? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 16:25, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

I understand that Conversations with God for a Pole (who is second to a Spaniard in piety (I don't count Italians; they don't look serious, despite encircling the Vatican) is of Top priority, but in wikipedia we have NPOVs and such, so I'd suggest first things first the fundamental topics are to fix first.

Looking at Template:National symbols of Poland, I don't see why the saints should be there. Black Madonna, perhaps, but how many people heard of Bobola or Kostka? Matejko or Mickiewicz would be better there; in fact I'd suggest adding a list of most famous people who can be seen as symbols of Poland, one for each category of culture: Chopin for music, Mickiewicz for poetry, Matejko for painting, Curie-Skłodowska for science. For literature, I guess both Reymont and Szymborska as the two Nobel-prize winners. For politics, Wałęsa, and for religion, the Pope. What do you think? That would leave sports (Małysz?).

There are very few of those, perhaps we should create a list? I just stumbled upon something I was unaware of before. PAN publishes two journals, Nauka and Academia, which seem to be archived online - at least the new issues:
Off the top of my head, IPN publishes a lot of stuff online, I think with a few months delay between print and free online archiving at [13]. And there is Central and Eastern European Online Library and Sarmatian Review. Some recent issues of UJ Alma Mater are also free online ( [14]). There are also Zwoje (not sure if they are peer reviewed), and BIAŁORUSKIE ZESZYTY HISTORYCZNE. As far as I know Mówią Wieki is mostly not archived online nor free so they are pretty much useless, but for an occasional sample article ( [15]).

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.
Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

Template names don't really matter so much (the text displayed within them does), but categories and article names should be consistent.

Editors on this WikiProject may be interested in the ongoing RfC on Talk:Caste. The article lists Poland as a region that has historically had a caste system, along with other countries, claims which some editors have found controversial. Editors critical of the current article have argued that the article has become a WP:COATRACK used to push the view that the caste system is not linked to Hinduism or India, while others have defended the article's portrayal of the caste as a universal phenomenon.

Have you tried http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012–13_Ekstraklasa ? The issue is you are trying to use hyphens rather than endashes. If all else fails, you can always create 2012-13 Ekstraklasa as a redirect to 2012–13 Ekstraklasa. Severo T C 22:25, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

I am having trouble with Badud ( talk · contribs) who keeps adding some poor reliability / unref claims to Battle of Klushino. I have tried to engage him on his talk and article's talk, but he seems to be ignoring me. Can somebody else try looking at this before this ends up at 3RR? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 20:49, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
