Talk:Battle of Zawichost

Reverting
This article looks much better now, with new info that is sourced. but I see that there's a dispute between Ghir and Hali and perhaps Irpen. What's the dispute about? --Candide, or Optimism 13:00, 26 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Frankly, I have no idea. The guys did a great job adding info to the article. However, at the same time they simply deleted all the info that was already there - for no apparent reason. If the reasons are personal, which is quite probable IMO, then this could be better solved at my talk page rather than by deleting my work just because. Or am I wrong?  // Halibutt 13:31, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Now I get it. Thanks to an edit comment by Irpen I discovered that the problem were Russo and Ukrainophobic terms. I guess what he referred to is the usage of the term Ruthenia, which has been Ukrainophobic at least since early middle ages. Even late Romans hated ancient Ukrainians apparently... Not to mention a Ukrainophobic chemical element... :D If that really was the problem, I'm happy to see Irpen fix it properly this time.  // Halibutt 17:18, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

I simply rewrote the article from scratch and some parts were ommitted. I did not delete Halibutt's reinserting them later. OTOH, I do find it amusing (not even annoying) that Halibutt keeps reinserting polonocentric names into articles. What' Wlodimirec is doing for the town name of the Rurikid time? That is an old problem of this editor and I am tired of cleaning up Russo- Ukrainian related article after Halibutt's intrusion from the modern Polish names. Others see the same problem with his edits to Lithuanian articles. I just don't get this stubbornes but in no way I want to delete anything just based on that. I simply corrected the names in my recent edits. Finally thanks for the compliments. I spent quite some time digging through sources on this misterious "battle", which I would have called an "Ambush of Zawichost". Since the article is now totally rewritten and unstubbed, it might qualify for DYK. --Irpen 18:23, 26 April 2006 (UTC)


 * If you assumed my good will you'd probably noticed that I'm merely using the names I know, since using the names I don't know could be quite hard. And even if, your (and Ghirlandajo's) decision to delete all my edits for no reason at all instead of fixing the names was not a step in the good direction. Such behaviour is not seen by some as harmful, but by all, as it perfectly fits the definition of vandalism. I'm glad you changed your ways now.
 * As to DYK - sure, feel free to add it. I'll try to dig up some more on the battle as soon as I get home.  // Halibutt 19:17, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Halibutt, I've seen you around here long enough to know what to asume, that is good faith superimposed on an extremely Polonocentric world picture intermingled with a self-denied but obvious hatred toward Russia. As to this edit, I did not delete it a single time. I corrected the names, that's all. And if you don't know non-Polish names of the places, as you claim, Wikipedia articles on those towns is a good place to find them. I was tempted to join your debate with Dan on Wilno, but what new I can tell you, especially after Wasylkowce, etc still at the PSW template? I can only clean up a fixed amount of this stuff. I don't have molobos to run revert wars on my behalf. --Irpen 19:32, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * LOL. I must show this edit of yours to either my Russian teacher or my friends from Kiev who visit me next week. I'm sure they'd be delighted to know that "I hate them even if I don't know it". Sorry, Irpen. Don't expect me to feed you any more.  // Halibutt 22:15, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
