 * What is the source for his place of death? Qero 17:05, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

[Daily Telegraph, Announcments, Death, 14 Oct 2005] "SZCZEPANIK.—Edward Franciszek died peacefully, aged 90, on 11th October 2005 at Bricklehampton Hall in Worcestershire." Similar notices appeared in The Times on the same day and Dziennik Polski (London Polish Daily) Ogloszenia 17 October. Note nearest town to Bricklehampton Hall is Pershore. I could not put permanent internet link to these papers. Tom Szczepanik 01:14, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Vatican City vs Holy See
Thanks for the email Tom. I do think my version of that link was right though... ambassadors and other representatives are always appointed to the Holy See, never to the Vatican City &mdash; q.v. the third paragraph of Holy See. I didn't write that article but I did spend a year studying philosophy at the Greg (one of the Vatican universities) and I can independently confirm that that form of address is the right one! The state is the Vatican City, but the diplomatic entity is the Holy See.

I've put it back again for now. If you still don't like it, I'd suggest as a compromise simply unlinking the word entirely: the article already has a link to Vatican City so it doesn't need another &mdash; but now you know I didn't make the change in error I hope you'll agree with me that Holy See is preferable! I've left the word Vatican there as you originally had it and just piped the link again, so that the context looks right. ~ Veledan • Talk 17:53, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Holy See it is - thank you! --Tom Szczepanik 01:59, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Early Life : Degrees
Edward Szczepanik gained an "M.Sc. in Economics from the LSE in 1953 and a PhD in Economics from the University of London in 1956". This was changed on 09:00, 27 April 2006 by 86.140.117.65 to read "an M.Sc. in Economics from the LSE in 1953 and also a PhD in Economics in 1956". I would read the change as implying that the Phd and M.Sc. both came from the same institution. The M.Sc. was from the LSE but the Phd was from the University of London, after he had moved to the University of Hong Kong in 1953. The LSE is a specialist university. Can we restore the University of London please. --Tom Szczepanik 23:58, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Link to
"From 1940 until 1942, he was held prisoner in the Soviet Gulag camps in Kozielsk and Kola Peninsula." - the link Kozielsk leads to a polish settlement which could not be place of a Gulag Camp. I think that this Russian town is meant - Kozelsk. btw - did your father make some biographical notes which covering his stay in the above mentioned camps? If yes I would appreciate that you can provide some information.
