Non-native English speakers writing in English Wikipedia repeatedly mangle our content's grammar in many ways, but one of the most common and brain-hurting mistakes for the native English speaker to read - and one of the easiest to fix - is the difference between 'since' and 'from'. Can someone make a WP tool that can go through all the Poland-related articles and search for the word "since" and end our torture please?
For example we say about Rafał Trzaskowski: Since 1995, he worked as a simultaneous translator and an English teacher.
For goodness sake, no he didn't.
The correct sentence is either (i) Since 1995, he has worked as a simultaneous translator and an English teacher. OR (ii) From 1995, he worked as a simultaneous translator and an English teacher.
The two have different meanings. I have lost count of the number of times it can be seen that non-native English speaker editors have inserted this 'since' mistake into our encyclopedia. Please let's sort it out and end the reader's suffering. And maybe one day we'll get round to an unpaid tutorial for non-native English editors about the advanced-level differences between "a" and "the".

WikiProject Poland is, among others, a way for many Polish users to get involved in Wikipedia and share their knowledge of their country and history. Putting them and their efforts down as "brain-hurting" and "wrecking" because of language mistakes is disrespectful. I hope you can do better. --[[User:tkubisztal|tkubisztal]

Thanks to some help from Buidhe I figured out how to do it, see [1]. I think 99% of Polish battles miss this simple feature, if anyone has time to copy paste, go for it. For battles from other time periods, we might need to create variants of Module:Location map/data/Poland 1939. Maps can be found at pl:Moduł:Mapa/dane/Polska. Currently existing maps are at Category:Poland location map templates, but I think outside 1939 they are present-day locales, not historical. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:17, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
Hello,
I'm an editor who mostly works on video games, and am currently editing an article about the Polish video game Vampire: The Masquerade – Coteries of New York. Today, I came across a seven-minute radio interview with the game's designer, but it is only available in Polish, a language I do not speak. I understand that it is a big ask considering the length, but figured it would not hurt to post a thread here: is there anyone here who speaks Polish, who would want to help out with translating the interview into English?
I would of course be happy to do something in return, such as a peer review, good article review, etc, of an article you are working on. I would also be available to translate something of about the same length from Swedish to English, in case that is needed. If you want to take up my offer, please @ me, as I am not a regular at this WikiProject and may miss replies otherwise.
Thanks, Alexandra IDV 21:08, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

According to Second Polish Republic, "A month before Germany surrendered on 11 November 1918 and the war ended, the Regency Council had dissolved the Council of State, and announced its intention to restore Polish independence (7 October 1918)." Council of State is a WP:SIA with no obviously relevant entry. Related articles such as pl:II Rzeczpospolita, Regency Council (Poland), pl:Rada Regencyjna and pl:Zamach stanu w Polsce (1918) give no help (I have no Polish, but Google Translate isn't too bad).

Hi, article about Kościuszko Uprising in it's infobot says that Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was the one to fight in the conflict, while in the note claiming that the insurrects/rebels were the ones to fight. Therefore I though maybe it should be changed to "Kościuszko insurrects" instead. But don't have enough knowlage about the event to change it without checking it with other people.
Also, about smaller stuff, I think that part with war leaders in infobox should mention only main onces (like on Polish version of article where only Kosciuszko one more person are mentioned there). But I don't know who was the main leader of Prussian forces, so if somebody knows it would be good to change that.
And finally the flag. As I see banner of 2nd Kraków Gradier Regiment is used as a symbol of the insurrects. The problem is that there's no good digital (.svg) version of the flag. It would be great if somebody could make one. TheEditMate ( talk) 11:26, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I have a translation request and a question on a Polish-language source.
7. The local ordinary, having conducted a formal and legal verification of the declaration of intent to leave the Church, will ask the parson of the parish of the place of baptism (...) to make a record in the baptismal register to that effect.

10. The record in the baptismal register is to be made on the margin of the baptismal certificate in the following form: "On the day ... in the parish of ... in ... [he/she] made a formal declaration of intent to leave the Catholic Church." This note is to be henceforth always placed on the baptismal certificate.
11. No certificate confirming the fact of having left the Church is to be issued. The defector may receive a baptismal certificate with the note as described in point 10.

Of little importance, but bugs me.

There are quite a few Polish surnames of this unusual derivations from verbs, see Polish name#Other, but this one is quite unusual even in this category. I failed to find any references so far.

More precisely, the szlachta were not a nobility nor a gentry, but an electorate. Really? I keep repeating that edits of this user must be monitored. Lembit Staan ( talk) 16:25, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
Further: "Some elements of the Polish state paralleled the Roman Empire[28][27] in that full rights of citizenship were limited to the szlachta.[13][12] Rome devoted its attention nearly exclusively to agriculture.[50] Old Poland devoted itself almost exclusively to agriculture.[51] " WHF is this if not WP:SYNTH (2nd+3rd sentences trying to suggest more similarities between Roma ad Poland while neither ref cited does such thing)? Not to say that after the iron age and before industrial revolution everybody in Europe "devoted almost exclusively to agriculture", i.e., this comparison is stupid. See Talk:Szlachta#WP::SYNTH and revert war by Exxess. Lembit Staan ( talk) 16:25, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
"The szlachta deliberately avoided becoming a feudal nobility, with its attendant titles.
In 1459 Ostroróg presented a memorandum to the Sejm (Senate), submitting palatines, or Voivodes of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, receive the title of prince. Sons of the prince were to receive titles of counts and barons. Castellans of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth were to receive the title of count. All these submissions were rejected.[26]"
The section "Etymology" is overblown with stuff not really related to etymology. I suggested a separate section for his kind of stuff, "Peculiarities of szlachta compared to other nobilities", but everybody DGAF, and I am alone not going to fight with the page owner.

Hello, I was noticed by a friend that Poland recently allowed ethnic Aromanians (they are called Arumuni in Polish) in the country to declare their ethnicity as such. However, I have only been able to find a Reddit post about this which cites this page as a source [11]. I understand it's the official page of the 2021 Polish census, but I haven't been able to find any mention to the Aromanians there or anywhere else.
Maybe a Polish speaker would be able to find something else that I missed. Also, should I wait until the census results are out to mention in any Wikipedia page that Aromanians are now allowed to declare their ethnicity in Poland?

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{ cite web}}, {{ cite journal}} and {{ doi}}.
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Finally today, 21 June 2022, months after I requested the move, a good soul has taken pity and approved the move of "Category:Polish enlightenment" to " Category:Polish Enlightenment", with "Enlightenment" capitalized, as it should have been.
I've now spotted a candidate for an analogous move, for analogous reasons. Just as "Polish Englightenment" is the name of a period in Polish culture and Polish philosophy (please see the latter link), this is also the case with " Polish Positivism".
Would someone be willing to submit a proposal to rename " Category:Polish positivism" to "Category:Polish Positivism", with "Positivism" capitalized, as it should have been? I hope someone younger than me could volunteer for this task, as he (generic "he" !) might have a better chance than I of seeing the fruition of that proposal within his lifetime.

As a lead in Adolf Hitler is containing The Holocaust, it is natural that Stepan Bandera artice first lines should be filled with Volhynia genocide, but...

Non-native English speakers writing in English Wikipedia repeatedly mangle our content's grammar in many ways, but one of the most common and brain-hurting mistakes for the native English speaker to read - and one of the easiest to fix - is the difference between 'since' and 'from'. Can someone make a WP tool that can go through all the Poland-related articles and search for the word "since" and end our torture please?
For example we say about Rafał Trzaskowski: Since 1995, he worked as a simultaneous translator and an English teacher.
For goodness sake, no he didn't.
The correct sentence is either (i) Since 1995, he has worked as a simultaneous translator and an English teacher. OR (ii) From 1995, he worked as a simultaneous translator and an English teacher.
The two have different meanings. I have lost count of the number of times it can be seen that non-native English speaker editors have inserted this 'since' mistake into our encyclopedia. Please let's sort it out and end the reader's suffering. And maybe one day we'll get round to an unpaid tutorial for non-native English editors about the advanced-level differences between "a" and "the".

Hello,
I'm an editor who mostly works on video games, and am currently editing an article about the Polish video game Vampire: The Masquerade – Coteries of New York. Today, I came across a seven-minute radio interview with the game's designer, but it is only available in Polish, a language I do not speak. I understand that it is a big ask considering the length, but figured it would not hurt to post a thread here: is there anyone here who speaks Polish, who would want to help out with translating the interview into English?
I would of course be happy to do something in return, such as a peer review, good article review, etc, of an article you are working on. I would also be available to translate something of about the same length from Swedish to English, in case that is needed. If you want to take up my offer, please @ me, as I am not a regular at this WikiProject and may miss replies otherwise.

According to Second Polish Republic, "A month before Germany surrendered on 11 November 1918 and the war ended, the Regency Council had dissolved the Council of State, and announced its intention to restore Polish independence (7 October 1918)." Council of State is a WP:SIA with no obviously relevant entry. Related articles such as pl:II Rzeczpospolita, Regency Council (Poland), pl:Rada Regencyjna and pl:Zamach stanu w Polsce (1918) give no help (I have no Polish, but Google Translate isn't too bad).

Hi, article about Kościuszko Uprising in it's infobot says that Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was the one to fight in the conflict, while in the note claiming that the insurrects/rebels were the ones to fight. Therefore I though maybe it should be changed to "Kościuszko insurrects" instead. But don't have enough knowlage about the event to change it without checking it with other people.
Also, about smaller stuff, I think that part with war leaders in infobox should mention only main onces (like on Polish version of article where only Kosciuszko one more person are mentioned there). But I don't know who was the main leader of Prussian forces, so if somebody knows it would be good to change that.
And finally the flag. As I see banner of 2nd Kraków Gradier Regiment is used as a symbol of the insurrects. The problem is that there's no good digital (.svg) version of the flag. It would be great if somebody could make one. TheEditMate ( talk) 11:26, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Of little importance, but bugs me. I am pretty much sure that the surname originated as a Polish nickname derived from the expression "niebędzie" (archaic one-word spelling of "nie będzie", "will not be (doing something)". There are quite a few Polish surnames of this unusual derivations from verbs, see Polish name#Other, but this one is quite unusual even in this category. I failed to find any references so far.

I repeatedly asked about third opinion in several taslk sections, but mostly it is between me and another editor with WP:OWN attitude immediately reverting my edits and putting walls of text in talk page when challenged.
If the community does not participate, who I am to want more and I am removing szlachta from my watchlist for 2 months; not worth my mental health :-) Lembit Staan ( talk) 19:09, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
More precisely, the szlachta were not a nobility nor a gentry, but an electorate. Really? I keep repeating that edits of this user must be monitored. Lembit Staan ( talk) 16:25, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
Further: "Some elements of the Polish state paralleled the Roman Empire[28][27] in that full rights of citizenship were limited to the szlachta.[13][12] Rome devoted its attention nearly exclusively to agriculture.[50] Old Poland devoted itself almost exclusively to agriculture.[51] " WHF is this if not WP:SYNTH (2nd+3rd sentences trying to suggest more similarities between Roma ad Poland while neither ref cited does such thing)? Not to say that after the iron age and before industrial revolution everybody in Europe "devoted almost exclusively to agriculture", i.e., this comparison is stupid. See Talk:Szlachta#WP::SYNTH and revert war by Exxess. Lembit Staan ( talk) 16:25, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
"The szlachta deliberately avoided becoming a feudal nobility, with its attendant titles.
In 1459 Ostroróg presented a memorandum to the Sejm (Senate), submitting palatines, or Voivodes of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, receive the title of prince. Sons of the prince were to receive titles of counts and barons. Castellans of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth were to receive the title of count. All these submissions were rejected.[26]"
The section "Etymology" is overblown with stuff not really related to etymology. I suggested a separate section for his kind of stuff, "Peculiarities of szlachta compared to other nobilities", but everybody DGAF, and I am alone not going to fight with the page owner.

Hello, I was noticed by a friend that Poland recently allowed ethnic Aromanians (they are called Arumuni in Polish) in the country to declare their ethnicity as such. However, I have only been able to find a Reddit post about this which cites this page as a source [11]. I understand it's the official page of the 2021 Polish census, but I haven't been able to find any mention to the Aromanians there or anywhere else.
Maybe a Polish speaker would be able to find something else that I missed. Also, should I wait until the census results are out to mention in any Wikipedia page that Aromanians are now allowed to declare their ethnicity in Poland?

)and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{ cite web}}, {{ cite journal}} and {{ doi}}.
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Finally today, 21 June 2022, months after I requested the move, a good soul has taken pity and approved the move of "Category:Polish enlightenment" to " Category:Polish Enlightenment", with "Enlightenment" capitalized, as it should have been.
I've now spotted a candidate for an analogous move, for analogous reasons. Just as "Polish Englightenment" is the name of a period in Polish culture and Polish philosophy (please see the latter link), this is also the case with " Polish Positivism".
Would someone be willing to submit a proposal to rename " Category:Polish positivism" to "Category:Polish Positivism", with "Positivism" capitalized, as it should have been?

Could someone please find a reliable source to verify the existence of this settlement? I cannot translate the single reference in the article, and there is no equivalent article in the Polish wikipedia. Thanks, Kiwipete ( talk) 07:45, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
Przed 2014 r. w Polsce nie był dostępny publicznie zestaw miejscowości. W tym czasie na polskiej Wikipedii tworzono artykuły do nazw znalezionych w różnych źródłach, wówczas uznawano artykuły bez źródeł informacji.

Talk:Valerii Zaluzhnyi#Bandera and Verkhovna Rada maybe it’s a good place to put it here and some one want to discuss is Stepan Bandera responsible for Volhynia genocide and it’s not a good person to take selfies with, especially when you are a Commander-in-Chief of army or the parliament, maybe my analogy of “ Federal Ministry of Defence (Germany) publish selfie with Hitler portrait, this been retweeted by Bundestag account” little too strong. But I been reported all the time Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard#User:Joaziela and Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:Joaziela and personal attacks and not much been discussed on subject, so maybe some backup, if it’s not a good place to publish thenn sorry Joaziela ( talk) 19:35, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

As a lead in Adolf Hitler is containing The Holocaust, it is natural that Stepan Bandera artice first lines should be filled with Volhynia genocide, but... The word „genocide” didn’t happen in Articles text not even once (sic! zero, zilch, null), but in titles of sourced it is 11 times. One again: 11 quoted article are titled “genocide” and in text itself genocide didn’t happen once. „Hero” in text 12 times... I heard not to used historical negationism or genocide denial, but I don’t know how to call it... Unfortunate coincidence? Joaziela ( talk) 21:29, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
I started a discussion about renaming PLC office holders, you might be interested in joining Marcelus ( talk) 17:18, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
The discussion was closed elsewhere but I was reminded that it's essential to leave a notice here. :) There's a new article by Grabowski and Klein about certain content disputes in 25 articles related to Poland and the Holocaust. Nemo 17:03, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
Following on from my request above, I've come across more articles that have no equivalent on the PL wikipedia. These are all from the Greater Poland voivodeship:
If anyone has any reliable source(s), or related articles on the PL wikipedia, could you please advise? Pinging @ Piotrus, @ Phil Bridger, @ Stok because of your help at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stary Cykarzew POM. Kiwipete ( talk) 20:06, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
I'm add more:
The corresponding articles were on pl:, they were deleted: in 2014 ( pl:Wikipedia:Poczekalnia/Załatwione artykuły (sierpień 2014/2)#Wsie_cz._1. The footnote indicating that they are in TERYT is false. Stok ( talk) 08:55, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Who would you classify as such? Norman Davies is a given. Anyone else, if you were to make a "Top 10"? (Also such a list could differ if we consider scholars publishing in English and Polish, I guess). Bonus points for telling me who you'd consider as "most prominent historians of Polish military history". TIA! Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:52, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
