Talk:Janusz Korwin-Mikke

is this ency?
"He speaks very bad English" - is this ency "Korwin Mikke is very hot, sexy guy"? No, this is just unency opinion. I know that this is not ency article, just political propaganda, but common guys! If I wanna add "He has nasty taste, because he eats pizza witch ketchup" - I should add source to articles that pizza with ketchup is nono. Also context of opinion of his English - at least use past continuos form, to pretend that you has competentions to critique his language skills in given speech, make some effort. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.31.211.196 (talk) 06:51, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Bridge vocabulary mistranslation
Both information regarding JKM's bridge player career (including those requiring citation) may be misleading due to possible mistranslation of Polish bridge terms.

First of all, JKM has never been a Polish national champion. He held a National Master rank, accordingly to Polish version of Masterpoints - both terms (master and champion) are synonymous in Polish (mistrz, but are used with different adjectives) - hence the confusion.

Also, JKM has never been a member of Polish national team on an international tournament. He however joined Polish national trials, which made him a direct candidate to play in the national team. Again - both terms (regarding the national team and the trials that determine the team) translate to Polish term kadra (first in a colloquial usage, second - official), but should not be confused. --78.8.120.32 (talk) 14:09, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 * No citations have been provided since the 'citation needed' tag has been applied. I have moderated the statement regarding his status in bridge and await a reliable source to substantiate previous statements. Newwhist (talk) 12:47, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

That's funny
"Because Janusz Korwin Mikke often express himself in a sophisticated way, his words are often misrepresented, especially when taken out of context." 37.31.34.62 (talk) 14:56, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
 * There is something to it. However the word "confusing" would be better. He likes extremely long statements with lots in interjections.... --JegoKrulewskaMosc (talk) 07:39, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

Dismiss issue
That information that the cause of dismissal was the fact he had fathered children out of wedlock is absolutely untrue. The real reason was the dispute within the party and the fact that some members were fighting with other. Tashi  Talk to me  19:14, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Janusz Korwin-Mikke is an anti-Zionist non-Jew
How come there are some false rumours on Wikipedia? Mr. Janusz Korwin-Mikke is a severe anti-Zionist. He once called Zionism "a genocide againt humanity" and said that "the Ashkenazim want to rule the whole world". Moreover, Mister Janusz is not Jewish. He denied Jewish heritage a plenty of times. Please, correct the information. 192.162.150.105 (talk) 10:44, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree with you, but you need to provide a reliable source (for example with the quote you gave) if you want to get it corrected. Tashi   Talk to me  22:55, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

"Libertarian" or "libertarian conservative"?
"Janusz Korwin-Mikke's economic views are radically libertarian,[17][2][3][4][5][6][6] in the classical sense of the word; in the U.S. his views would be best described as libertarian conservative."

This does note seems to make much sense - outside the US "libertarian" has two different meanings: traditionally it was used in the sense of anarchist (usually of the syndicalist version); more recently, by imitation, it is also used in the same meaning as in the US (free market, small government, etc.)

Of course he is not an anarchist, then, we are talking of libertarian in the American sense of the word; but, then, if in the US he will be "described as libertarian conservative", he is a libertarian conservative.--MiguelMadeira (talk) 12:17, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

He has limited ties with the US though, and he should be described in european terms. And his views on personal liberty are far from those promoted by libertians.

Spam link
Link 18 is invalid; worse, it leads to ads, including one that attempts to auto-download. (And launches a stream of "are sure you want to close this page?" pop-ups when you try to leave it.)

Is there another source that validates the statement? Regroce (talk) 19:06, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Barred from EU sessions and Honorary Diploma revoked?
No Polish source says anthing about his diploma being revoked, at least I can't find anything. Both English sources cited look inaccessible as of the time of this writing. As for his EU Parliament session attendance, nothing is decided yet — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.26.252.146 (talk) 14:23, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

Did not find any sources either I suggest to remove the claim about the Honorary Diploma until there is a source.--ChristopheT (talk) 20:36, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

I am adding the part about being suspended as there are now sources ... --ChristopheT (talk) 13:33, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 2 May 2020
Change the anti-Polish phrase "polish" (sic!) to "Polish" (note the capital letter) in the first sentence of the article. 5.173.196.52 (talk) 09:16, 2 May 2020 (UTC)


 * ✅, but for crissakes, please read the article at Hanlon's razor. A capitalization error is not a damn nationalist slur.  Other languages (of which Wikipedia has many editors as native language) do not always capitalize such adjectives. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon &bull; videos) 14:07, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Categorization of "Far-right"
There are recent attempts from user TU-nor in which he tries to label/smear Korwin-Mikke by dubbing his as "far-right" despite the fact that he holds Monarchist views, which and are not on the far-right spectrum of politics. Furthermore, the source used is absolutely weak and is not a credible source (Times of Israel), especially when the article is written by an author with an anti-Polish bias. -69.121.10.105 (talk)
 * Thank you for using the talk page. Just a few comments to your message here, your message in my user talk page and your edit sumamries:
 * There is no contradiction between being far-right and being monarchist. As you can see here, the terms left and right in politics actually have their roots in the assembly of the French Revolution, where the monarchists were labelled "right" because they were sitting to the right in the meeting hall, just beside the "blacks" (the aristocrats). More to the point, even if there is no absolute correlation between monarchism and far-right politics, it is easy to find examples of parties and politicians that are monarchists and described as far-right. For your argument to be valid, you will have to back it up with sources saying that monarchism is incompatible with far-right politics. I trust you will have some problems digging up such sources.
 * You have been so kind as to decorate my talk page with an edit war template. I assume that you found my talk page a bit colourless, since I have no such warnings from before. It could of course be because I do not do edit wars and that most editors anyway WP:don't template the regulars. But thanks anyway for adding colour and giving me a laugh. You are of course welcome to inspect my contributions for further examples of edit wars and other disruptive edits. You know what you are taking about.
 * Now to what really matters: sources. I will happily agree with you that the Times of Israel source is not necessarily a strong enough source for the "far-right" claim, if it is used alone. However, you also removed two other sources I had added, giving the comment Your citations are weak and are not sources at all. The sources I added are a book published at Routledge and an article in The Guardian. I have also offered to add more sources.
 * The best way to proceed now, before starting dispute resolution, is probably to ask at WP:RSN what they say about the sources, but before I raise the question there, I would be glad if you could explain on what grounds you dismiss those two sources. --T*U (talk) 15:05, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

I'm here from the RSN discussion. The sources just added to the article absolutely support that Korwin-Mikke is a far-right politician. We have the Associated Press, the Guardian and the Christian Science Monitor. Those alone are already enough.  starship .paint  (talk) 06:29, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
 * It is 100% clear Korwin-Mikke is extreme or far right, many sources describe him so. 69.121.10.105's attempts to cast Korwin-Mikke as a "monarchist" that is not far right are unconvincing. In this modern day and age holding "monarchist" views is extreme.--Bob not snob (talk) 06:03, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
 * RS say it, so so do we.Slatersteven (talk) 09:40, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

For the beginning, some more reliable "Reliable Sources" than the left-liberal upper-middle class rag The Guardian should be found for classifying someone as "far-right". The Guardian really isn't suitable for categorizing anyone who has "notoriously rightist" views, it's simply too partisan in such cases.Potugin (talk) 21:07, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

It's a pretty hilarious slur. The idea that the Guardian is a reliable source is also hilarious. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.61.239.143 (talk) 04:47, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Extremely biased, low quality article
You only have to look at the polish version to compare the quality with the english one. Polish article has his background, history and current political activity. This? This has controversy A, controversy B, controversy C. Because that's all the west sees. Controversy because he dares to speak out against EU and others.
 * Maybe, or maybe the Polish article is biased?Slatersteven (talk) 08:29, 29 June 2020 (UTC)



Article sounds like left-wing to far-left wing extremist smear
The authors of this article cannot the guy they are writing about. You can feel it in every line of the article. Thats not the job of an encyclopedia.

 * If I get the gist of your point correctly, we go with what RS say.Slatersteven (talk) 09:29, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

The majority of wikipedia has an extreme left bias. Open communists are not considered far-left by wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.184.62.34 (talk) 07:33, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

Born in the "German reich"
This feels biased considering Poland was occupied for a brief period at this time by Nazi Germany, and was largely unrecognised https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:EmilePersaud 11:05, 24 February 2021 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by EmilePersaud (talk • contribs)

Sexism
"He believes that women are, on average, less intelligent than men, citing chess results to back up his claims." May be so, but I'd also like to inform you that he believes that women are on avarage wiser than man. Please stop making articles about right-wing politicians an utterly horrendous propaganda. Cherry picking is not how we are supposed to make articles. He also makes statements that them being ON AVARAGE less intelligent has no real impact as in "normal country" this has no meaning because people are individuals and not collective as in communist states. "Controversies" section automatically excludes any statements that accompany those that are "controversial", even though they often times change the meaning of whole sentence.
