Forced Germanization by the Prussian authorities?
There's nothing in the source you provided on supposed 'forced Germanization'. And it's sort of hypocritical of you to use an obscure web reference work as a source, after you yourself have discarded best Western tertiary sources recently when they did not fit your POV. --Estlandia (Miacek) (dialogue) 17:34, 13 December 2012 (UTC)


 * It's right there in the source, look for the word "germanizacja". As to the other issue, this isn't a featured article and I honestly didn't think this would be controversial, so a tertiary source would be fine. But I guess this is Wikipedia and the most obvious facts can be made controversial. Ok. Here's another source which calls the party's actions and existence "little more than active self-help in the face of repression by the German state". I guess we could change it to "repression by the German state", though "forced Germanization", IMO, is a perfectly suitable paraphrase which avoids copy vio.

 * And the Pilsudski article is ANOTHER one which you haven't edited until I was involved in a disagreement with someone. Are you trying to make the fact that you're stalking me obvious? That feels a little threatening. I mean, the stalking by itself is threatening, but the fact that you seem to want me to know that you are doing it, makes it more so.

 * I don't think making an innocent minor edit to an article you often edit - covering a well-known EE statesman - can be seen as stalking you. There are also numerous articles on Polish topics that I have started and cross-edit with Poles (National Party (1989), Katowice Forum) -- and I'm not complaining that they're stalking me.

 * Yes, when there is a disagreement between myself and someone else, you show up and first make a "minor" edit to establish yourself on the page. Usually you then proceed to jump into the discussion, justifying your participation by the fact that you had made this "minor" edit earlier (as in a day or two earlier). As it happened on Pilsudski, the anon IP was edit warring with several editors and got banned. Oh, well, missed opportunity. Still, it's not like this is an isolated incident.

 * I never participated in a discussion on Pilsudski, though I might have done it. i just pointed out above to the incongruity in your position. --Estlandia (Miacek) (dialogue) 18:20, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
