...and vice versa, Please take a look on that and edits of user Sobiepan ( talk · contribs). User pushing POV in many articles. Franek K. ( talk) 22:49, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
Further examination from what I originally had done shows that both of you are eligible to be blocked on 3rr grounds alone. Stop editwarring, stop accusing each other of POV pushing without providing substantial evidence and doing it in the appropriate forum, and start talking about the issues you are having on the talk pages of the relevant articles. I am currently not blocking either of you and hoping that you can go to the appropriate talk pages and work this out, but I'm going to be awfully tempted to block the next one of you that makes an uncivil post or edit wars.

Silesian is a dialect of the Polish language. Yes, it is different than literary Polish, and it contains huge amount of German-origin words but that does not make it a separate, distinct language. Couple of years ago, the U.S. Library of Congress recognized it as a separate language (along with couple of African dialects). Since then an assertive push from the Silesian separatists began, trying to force the public to recognize it as a separate language. This is nothing more than a concentrated action by the RAŚ separatists. It is sad that Wikipedia became a battleground for something as petty as this dispute. - Darwinek ( talk) 18:54, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

The Józef Piłsudski Institute of America in Manhattan, New York is in the process of organizing the WikiProject of the Piłsudski Institute of America, and are looking for a volunteers to help. We need a Wikipedian-in-Residence to intern/volunteer part-time in the Institute in New York City, and are looking for local and remote Wikipedians who would like to contribute- especially those that speak the Polish language.
The Pilsudski Institute has a large number of resources related to modern Polish history, sources concerning outstanding historical figures and important events, soldiers fighting in WW I and WW II, and Polish emigre organizers and institutions. Such topics need to be much better represented in the Wikipedia, both the Polish and English language versions. There are also other tasks and improvements to be made, see the Wikiproject page: Wikipedia:GLAM/Józef Piłsudski Institute of America. (GLAM = Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums, one of the very active Wikipedia areas. /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:GLAM

Would you be interested in participating in a user study? We are a team at University of Washington studying methods for finding collaborators within a Wikipedia community. We are looking for volunteers to evaluate a new visualization tool. All you need to do is to prepare for your laptop/desktop, web camera, and speaker for video communication with Google Hangout. We will provide you with a Amazon gift card in appreciation of your time and participation. For more information about this study, please visit our wiki page ( http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Finding_a_Collaborator). If you would like to participate in our user study, please send me a message at Wkmaster ( talk) 23:31, 15 February 2014 (UTC).
As of January, the popular pages tool has moved from the Toolserver to Wikimedia Tool Labs. The code has changed significantly from the Toolserver version, but users should notice few differences. Please take a moment to look over your project's list for any anomalies, such as pages that you expect to see that are missing or pages that seem to have more views than expected. Note that unlike other tools, this tool aggregates all views from redirects, which means it will typically have higher numbers. (For January 2014 specifically, 35 hours of data is missing from the WMF data, which was approximated from other dates. For most articles, this should yield a more accurate number. However, a few articles, like ones featured on the Main Page, may be off).
Web tools, to replace the ones at tools:~alexz/pop, will become available over the next few weeks at toollabs:popularpages. All of the historical data (back to July 2009 for some projects) has been copied over. The tool to view historical data is currently partially available (assessment data and a few projects may not be available at the moment). The tool to add new projects to the bot's list is also available now (editing the configuration of current projects coming soon). Unlike the previous tool, all changes will be effective immediately. OAuth is used to authenticate users, allowing only regular users to make changes to prevent abuse. A visible history of configuration additions and changes is coming soon. Once tools become fully available, their toolserver versions will redirect to Labs.
If you have any questions, want to report any bugs, or there are any features you would like to see that aren't currently available on the Toolserver tools, see the updated FAQ or contact me on my talk page. Mr.Z-bot ( talk) (for Mr. Z-man) 05:22, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Dear sir/madam,
There is an oral tradition in my family that my grandparents were ethnic Jews and that my gradfather's brother was mayor of Belgrade or in that region. The oral tradition continues that a town was named after him and that the ending to our name has been altered over the course of time, when my grandfather moved to Germany. Are you able to find out how the name Bojanice came to be given to the town? I am Maria Bojanitz — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.154.138.186 ( talk) 07:30, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
Hello, we're trying to come up with a solution for this article. The company is an internet marketing business based in Greece, but it was (allegedly) involved with a lawsuit in Poland regarding an SMS lottery "scam/spam". We're trying to come up with some balanced coverage of the controversy based on sources we've found, but they are in the Polish language and we don't want to rely on machine translations to verify such controversial information. To complicate matters even further, we have representatives from the company itself arguing to have negative information removed, which is difficult to refute when we can't be 100% sure what are sources are saying. Might there be someone from this project who can give us a hand? The section of the talk page that is in biggest need of help is this one, but you can see that there are questions all over that talk page, and there are Polish language references in the article itself as well for a person to look over. Also, we are making some assumptions about the reliability (or lack thereof) for Polish language sources that may be inaccurate, and someone more familiar with such sources could be of huge benefit. Thank you. -- Atama 頭 19:02, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi.
I'm really sorry to have to bring the bad news that an article of high importance to your project has been flagged for copyright problems related to Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/20100114. It's possible to roll the article back, but doing so would take it back years in its development. :( If any of you have time and interest to help out, the article in question is Occupation of Poland (1939–45). Please note that in spite of what the label on the article now says, there is no risk that the article will be deleted. Worst case scenario is, again, that it would be rolled back. Ideally, if any of you are able to assist, we can resolve the problem by rewriting content added by the specific contributor, but this in itself could be a pretty big job, as he contributed heavily to the article. There's more information at the talk page, including a list of diffs.
Thank you to all who can assist and, again, I'm very sorry about this. :( -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:17, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
Hello. When someone has a moment, would you mind having a look at Radom Chamber Orchestra? It has been deleted via PROD, restored via REFUND but still seems rather shaky. Here in the US a city-established cultural would very likely be considered notable, however I'm not sure what stature municipal culturals carry in Poland, oh and I can't read Polish to see if there are some blatantly obvious sources that could be added. Thanks very much. I'll watch here and article talk for any response. StarM 00:52, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
pl:Odpust parafialny is currently interwikid to Verbena (fair), which seems to be a Spanish word. I think the unreferenced linking of odpust and verbena is WP:OR.

I have created Category:Polish dissidents and Category:Polish dissident organizations based on pl pl:Kategoria:Działacze opozycji w PRL and pl:Kategoria:Organizacje opozycyjne w PRL. I think that in English language the usage of "Polish dissident" term is clearly limited to 1945-1989 we don't need to clarify that by translating "w PRL", through if anyone disagrees please comment here. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:51, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
I think there has been some lumping of the concept of "protest against PRL" and "anti-communism in Poland". I've just removed Solidarity from a list of anti-communist organizations, and I think few more similar items should be removed from Category:Anti-communism in Poland. In other words, not all Polish dissidents (an major missing article both from pl and en wikis) were anti-communists, ditto for their organizations.

If you look at borders of Poland, you can see we cite two different sets of stats. One from GUS, one from old presidential website sourced to PWN (1999). Recent PWN seems to cite GUS numbers ( [13]).

User:The Emperor's New Spy has been removing the coat of arms images from the infoboxes of Polish monarchs [16], for example [17], on the grounds that, quote, "it is tacky and an eye sore compare to other articles. And the example in Template:Infobox royalty is how it should be properly used. Coat of arms should be displaced as a thumb image in the article, if it must be presented". I asked him about it on his talk page [18].
I thought I'd bring it up here.
I don't have strong feelings on this, but after thinking about it I'm inclined to keep the coats in the infoboxes (and I say that as someone who doesn't like infoboxes too much). My reasoning is that unless there is, for some reason, a detailed discussion of the coat of arms within the article itself, it doesn't make much sense to have the coat of arms in article text. Furthermore the example article Henry VIII that is given as to "how it should be done" (in the user's opinion) is not really applicable - that article is quite long and so it's easy to put the coat of arms image in article text without screwing up the layout. Most of the articles on the Polish monarchs are much shorter and it's hard to cram the coats of arms into article proper without messing stuff up. So it's almost a choice between coat of arms or no coat of arms. Furthermore, while I don't like infoboxes all that much it seems that this is one of those things that really does belong in an infobox rather than elsewhere.
So I think these should be restored. Anyone else have any opinions? Volunteer Marek ( talk) 05:13, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
Hi all,
My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London.
One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations.
This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:
• Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film
• Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.
• Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.
• Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____
• Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost
For more information or to sign up for one for your project, go to:

Membership in a Scottish or other kind of clan was not a mark of noble status. Any Scot might—and generally did—belong to a clan.
By contrast, membership in a Polish or, later, Polish-Lithuanian heraldic family ("herb") was a mark of noble status that was shared with only some 10% of the general population of the country.
Therefore I think we shouldn't confuse things by referring to a Polish "heraldic family" ("herb"), e.g., "heraldic family Ostoja", as a "clan", e.g., " clan Ostoja".
I therefore propose that, in the article " Heraldic family", we delete the expression "heraldic clan" as a synonym for "heraldic family"; and that each heraldic family be called a "heraldic family", e.g., "heraldic family Ostoja" (rather than " clan Ostoja").
Nihil novi ( talk) 00:18, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
Kpalion, thank you for the links to English-language sources that use the term "clan" in reference to all bearers of the same Polish or Polish-Lithuanian coat-of-arms.
I have the impression, though, that some English-language authors apply the word "clan" to Polish contexts for convenience (it is a monosyllabic expression) rather than for accuracy. In Polish, one speaks of someone being "herbu [fill in the name of the coat-of-arms]" ("of coat-of-arms [fill in the name of the coat-of-arms]"). There is no suggestion that all these bearers are related in any way other than through their common possession of the same coat-of-arms, unlike the situation in societies to which the word "clan" is — presumably appropriately — applied.
The Kościuszko Foundation Dictionary, volume I: English-Polish, New York, The Kościuszko Foundation, 1960, p. 162, defines "clan": "n. klan (szkocki, szczep i p.) [noun: clan (Scottish, tribe, and the like]." Nothing here about "ród" or anything else Polish.
Wielki słownik angielsko-polski (Great English-Polish Dictionary), vol. A–N, Warsaw, Wiedza Powszechna, 1977, p. 129, defines "clan": "s: 1. klan. 2. przen: klika; ekskluzywne towarzystwo. vi: w zwrocie: to [clan] together: a) trzymać się zwarcie razem; b) tworzyć klikę [noun: 1. clan. 2. figurative: a clique; an exclusive association. intransitive verb: to clan together: a) to maintain a tight-knit association; b) to form a clique]." Again, nothing here, either, about "ród" or anything else Polish.
All sources point out that application of the English expression " clan" to Polish and Polish-Lithuanian contexts is highly idiosyncratic. I would add: also jarring to informed Polonophone- Anglophone sensibilities.

Hello,
I am currently reading a biography about Alice Habsburg, née Alice Ankarcrona, who apparently fought as a partisan in Poland during WWII and was awarded medals for her services after the war. I'd like to write an article about her, but I can't seem to find much sources on either the Swedish (she was Swedish-born, then married a Habsburg arch-duke) or English google; perhaps there are some sources in Polish? If anyone finds any sources and finds the subject as fascinating as I do, drop me a line and I'd be happy to cooperate on writing an article about her. I'm grateful for any help or hints.

Dear Poland experts: Here's an old AfC submission about a person who has an article in the Polish encyclopedia. Is this a notable person, and are there sources not in English that could be added to improve the page's referencing? — Anne Delong ( talk) 22:10, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
I think this could use a lot of fleshing out. I can't find much in English language sources, and was tempted to perhaps AFD it(creator seems active and deprodded it the last time it was prodded), but a Google translate of his page on the Polish Wiki is a bit more encouraging and says he was awarded what I think is the Order of Polonia Restituta, which seems rather impressive. If any native Polish speakers want to take a stab at some translating and sourcing that would be much appreciated. Cannolis ( talk) 20:32, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

Silesian is a dialect of the Polish language. Yes, it is different than literary Polish, and it contains huge amount of German-origin words but that does not make it a separate, distinct language. Couple of years ago, the U.S. Library of Congress recognized it as a separate language (along with couple of African dialects). Since then an assertive push from the Silesian separatists began, trying to force the public to recognize it as a separate language. This is nothing more than a concentrated action by the RAŚ separatists. It is sad that Wikipedia became a battleground for something as petty as this dispute. - Darwinek ( talk) 18:54, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

The Józef Piłsudski Institute of America in Manhattan, New York is in the process of organizing the WikiProject of the Piłsudski Institute of America, and are looking for a volunteers to help. We need a Wikipedian-in-Residence to intern/volunteer part-time in the Institute in New York City, and are looking for local and remote Wikipedians who would like to contribute- especially those that speak the Polish language.
The Pilsudski Institute has a large number of resources related to modern Polish history, sources concerning outstanding historical figures and important events, soldiers fighting in WW I and WW II, and Polish emigre organizers and institutions. Such topics need to be much better represented in the Wikipedia, both the Polish and English language versions. There are also other tasks and improvements to be made, see the Wikiproject page: Wikipedia:GLAM/Józef Piłsudski Institute of America.

As of January, the popular pages tool has moved from the Toolserver to Wikimedia Tool Labs. The code has changed significantly from the Toolserver version, but users should notice few differences. Please take a moment to look over your project's list for any anomalies, such as pages that you expect to see that are missing or pages that seem to have more views than expected. Note that unlike other tools, this tool aggregates all views from redirects, which means it will typically have higher numbers. (For January 2014 specifically, 35 hours of data is missing from the WMF data, which was approximated from other dates. For most articles, this should yield a more accurate number. However, a few articles, like ones featured on the Main Page, may be off).
Web tools, to replace the ones at tools:~alexz/pop, will become available over the next few weeks at toollabs:popularpages. All of the historical data (back to July 2009 for some projects) has been copied over. The tool to view historical data is currently partially available (assessment data and a few projects may not be available at the moment). The tool to add new projects to the bot's list is also available now (editing the configuration of current projects coming soon). Unlike the previous tool, all changes will be effective immediately. OAuth is used to authenticate users, allowing only regular users to make changes to prevent abuse. A visible history of configuration additions and changes is coming soon. Once tools become fully available, their toolserver versions will redirect to Labs.
If you have any questions, want to report any bugs, or there are any features you would like to see that aren't currently available on the Toolserver tools, see the updated FAQ or contact me on my talk page. Mr.Z-bot ( talk) (for Mr. Z-man) 05:22, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Dear sir/madam,
There is an oral tradition in my family that my grandparents were ethnic Jews and that my gradfather's brother was mayor of Belgrade or in that region. The oral tradition continues that a town was named after him and that the ending to our name has been altered over the course of time, when my grandfather moved to Germany.

Hello, we're trying to come up with a solution for this article. The company is an internet marketing business based in Greece, but it was (allegedly) involved with a lawsuit in Poland regarding an SMS lottery "scam/spam". We're trying to come up with some balanced coverage of the controversy based on sources we've found, but they are in the Polish language and we don't want to rely on machine translations to verify such controversial information. To complicate matters even further, we have representatives from the company itself arguing to have negative information removed, which is difficult to refute when we can't be 100% sure what are sources are saying. Might there be someone from this project who can give us a hand? The section of the talk page that is in biggest need of help is this one, but you can see that there are questions all over that talk page, and there are Polish language references in the article itself as well for a person to look over. Also, we are making some assumptions about the reliability (or lack thereof) for Polish language sources that may be inaccurate, and someone more familiar with such sources could be of huge benefit. Thank you. -- Atama 頭 19:02, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi.
I'm really sorry to have to bring the bad news that an article of high importance to your project has been flagged for copyright problems related to Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/20100114. It's possible to roll the article back, but doing so would take it back years in its development. :( If any of you have time and interest to help out, the article in question is Occupation of Poland (1939–45). Please note that in spite of what the label on the article now says, there is no risk that the article will be deleted. Worst case scenario is, again, that it would be rolled back. Ideally, if any of you are able to assist, we can resolve the problem by rewriting content added by the specific contributor, but this in itself could be a pretty big job, as he contributed heavily to the article. There's more information at the talk page, including a list of diffs.
Thank you to all who can assist and, again, I'm very sorry about this. :( -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:17, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

I think there has been some lumping of the concept of "protest against PRL" and "anti-communism in Poland". I've just removed Solidarity from a list of anti-communist organizations, and I think few more similar items should be removed from Category:Anti-communism in Poland.

User:The Emperor's New Spy has been removing the coat of arms images from the infoboxes of Polish monarchs [16], for example [17], on the grounds that, quote, "it is tacky and an eye sore compare to other articles. And the example in Template:Infobox royalty is how it should be properly used. Coat of arms should be displaced as a thumb image in the article, if it must be presented". I asked him about it on his talk page [18].
I thought I'd bring it up here.
I don't have strong feelings on this, but after thinking about it I'm inclined to keep the coats in the infoboxes (and I say that as someone who doesn't like infoboxes too much). My reasoning is that unless there is, for some reason, a detailed discussion of the coat of arms within the article itself, it doesn't make much sense to have the coat of arms in article text. Furthermore the example article Henry VIII that is given as to "how it should be done" (in the user's opinion) is not really applicable - that article is quite long and so it's easy to put the coat of arms image in article text without screwing up the layout. Most of the articles on the Polish monarchs are much shorter and it's hard to cram the coats of arms into article proper without messing stuff up. So it's almost a choice between coat of arms or no coat of arms. Furthermore, while I don't like infoboxes all that much it seems that this is one of those things that really does belong in an infobox rather than elsewhere.
So I think these should be restored. Anyone else have any opinions? Volunteer Marek ( talk) 05:13, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
Hi all,
My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London.
One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations.
This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:
• Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film
• Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.
• Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.
• Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____
• Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost

Membership in a Scottish or other kind of clan was not a mark of noble status. Any Scot might—and generally did—belong to a clan.
By contrast, membership in a Polish or, later, Polish-Lithuanian heraldic family ("herb") was a mark of noble status that was shared with only some 10% of the general population of the country.
Therefore I think we shouldn't confuse things by referring to a Polish "heraldic family" ("herb"), e.g., "heraldic family Ostoja", as a "clan", e.g., " clan Ostoja".
I therefore propose that, in the article " Heraldic family", we delete the expression "heraldic clan" as a synonym for "heraldic family"; and that each heraldic family be called a "heraldic family", e.g., "heraldic family Ostoja" (rather than " clan Ostoja").
Nihil novi ( talk) 00:18, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
Kpalion, thank you for the links to English-language sources that use the term "clan" in reference to all bearers of the same Polish or Polish-Lithuanian coat-of-arms.
I have the impression, though, that some English-language authors apply the word "clan" to Polish contexts for convenience (it is a monosyllabic expression) rather than for accuracy. In Polish, one speaks of someone being "herbu [fill in the name of the coat-of-arms]" ("of coat-of-arms [fill in the name of the coat-of-arms]"). There is no suggestion that all these bearers are related in any way other than through their common possession of the same coat-of-arms, unlike the situation in societies to which the word "clan" is — presumably appropriately — applied.
The Kościuszko Foundation Dictionary, volume I: English-Polish, New York, The Kościuszko Foundation, 1960, p. 162, defines "clan": "n. klan (szkocki, szczep i p.) [noun: clan (Scottish, tribe, and the like]." Nothing here about "ród" or anything else Polish.
Wielki słownik angielsko-polski (Great English-Polish Dictionary), vol. A–N, Warsaw, Wiedza Powszechna, 1977, p. 129, defines "clan": "s: 1. klan. 2. przen: klika; ekskluzywne towarzystwo. vi: w zwrocie: to [clan] together: a) trzymać się zwarcie razem; b) tworzyć klikę [noun: 1. clan. 2. figurative: a clique; an exclusive association. intransitive verb: to clan together: a) to maintain a tight-knit association; b) to form a clique]." Again, nothing here, either, about "ród" or anything else Polish.
All sources point out that application of the English expression " clan" to Polish and Polish-Lithuanian contexts is highly idiosyncratic. I would add: also jarring to informed Polonophone- Anglophone sensibilities.

I'd like to write an article about her, but I can't seem to find much sources on either the Swedish (she was Swedish-born, then married a Habsburg arch-duke) or English google; perhaps there are some sources in Polish?

The Polish Rathaus seems strange, a German word describing a Polish building, now in Ukraine. The article is Ratusha (Ivano-Frankivsk). Xx234 ( talk) 07:59, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
The Polish United Workers' Party (PUWP) is missing central committee articles akeen to the ones the Communist Party of China ( 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China for instance) and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union ( 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union for instance) have. These lists are important, considering they list all the members of the elite. PUWP is currently missing 10 of 10;
Does anyone have a URL link (or a book) which lists all the members? -- TIAYN ( talk) 11:02, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

Dear Poland experts: Here's an old AfC submission about a person who has an article in the Polish encyclopedia. Is this a notable person, and are there sources not in English that could be added to improve the page's referencing? — Anne Delong ( talk) 22:10, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
I think this could use a lot of fleshing out. I can't find much in English language sources, and was tempted to perhaps AFD it(creator seems active and deprodded it the last time it was prodded), but a Google translate of his page on the Polish Wiki is a bit more encouraging and says he was awarded what I think is the Order of Polonia Restituta, which seems rather impressive. If any native Polish speakers want to take a stab at some translating and sourcing that would be much appreciated. Cannolis ( talk) 20:32, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
Dear Poland experts: This old AfC draft will soon be deleted unless someone takes an interest in it. Is this a notable subject? Are there sources available that are not in English? — Anne Delong ( talk) 15:25, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
