Podlaskie
Hi. You may be right about renaming Podlachian to Podlaskie. But these names were agreed long ago on WP, so better to wait for approval from the community first (see Portal talk:Poland/Poland-related Wikipedia notice board where I've started a discussion). Also you aren't allowed simply to replace a page's content with a redirect - for licensing (GFDL) reasons among others - you have to use the "move" button. If it turns out that the move is impossible without administrator assistance, you have to propose it at WP:Requested moves, following the procedure described there.--Kotniski (talk) 11:19, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

It's a massive update to the page - adding significant content and references. Ajh1492 (talk) 19:08, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * OK but still, you didn't follow the right procedure. Not that I'm an unthinking enforcer of rules, quite the reverse, but this one is quite important for copyright reasons (the edit history of an article has to be preserved, and this can only happen if you do a move in the standard way), and you need to be aware that doing this sort of thing can make people angry. However, no harm seems to have been done on this occasion. Wishing you continued successful editing! Kotniski (talk) 10:12, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * ...and the Wikipedia entry for merging and moving pages says.


 * Merging is a normal editing action, something any editor can do, and as such does not need to be proposed and processed. If you think merging something improves the encyclopedia, you can be bold and perform the merge, as described below. Because of this, it makes little sense to object to a merge purely on procedural grounds, e.g. "you cannot do that without discussion" is not a good argument.


 * Just following the written process.


 * Ajh1492 (talk) 11:44, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * What you did was not a merge, however, it was a move. Rather than bringing two articles both with content into one, you over-wrote the redirect at one with the content at the other, then created a redirect at the first - this is known as a cut-and-paste move.  This causes problems with copyright and attribution of edits - as far as the history of Podlaskie Voivodeship is concerned, it looks like you created all the material originally in this edit, and there's no clue as to the true origins and development of the article; an external observer would not know to look at the history of what is now a redirect at Podlachian Voivodeship to see who is responsible for each edit.  That was why the "move" button was developed and added, because it merges and moves the history in the correct fashion so that you can check it later.
 * It's an easy mistake to make as a new user - I've put tags on that article and the one at North European Plain, which you moved in the same way, so that an admin will repair the histories (you need admin tools to do merge page histories). In future if you want to move a page, just click the move button and enter the new name there and the software will do the rest.  However, always check the talk page first: if it's a page move that has been discussed previously but not happened for some reason (like at Podlachian Voivodeship), I'd strongly recommend using the process at WP:RM so that more people are aware and can discuss the merits of the move - there's no rush to move a page that's been sat at a title like that for a while, and the more eyes on it the better.  In the case of North European Plain a bold move (using the move button!) would have been fair enough as it hadn't been previously discussed, although again a WP:RM discussion wouldn't have harmed. Knepflerle (talk) 12:15, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

About the file you asked for: I have text files with lists of gminas, powiats (counties), and towns (cities) in Podlaskie - I could send you them if you want. But you can get the same information by just browsing Category:Podlaskie Voivodeship and its subcategories. The bot hasn't started creating articles on the villages in that voivodeship yet.--Kotniski (talk) 09:56, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Poland geography bot
I think the bot (User:Kotbot) is working more or less in the way you suggest, except that it is creating articles on all the villages as it goes, which is quite a slow process, particularly since quite a lot of manual intervention is required. If you wanted to help speed up the process, and if you have a fixed fast Internet connection (which I don't always have), then I could send you the files and you could run the bot on your computer. (You wouldn't necessarily have to do any of the manual work; the bot runs on its own, but generates a log file of problems which - if you don't have time to tackle them yourself - you could just send back to me.) If you think you can help in this way then please contact me via "E-mail this user".--Kotniski (talk) 08:07, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Template vandalism
I already replied here. Hut 8.5 16:54, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll try, though it's going to take a while (there's a lot of them). It might be better to ask at WP:AN (then you get more than one administrator to see your request). Hut 8.5 10:10, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Protected everything with 50 or more uses. This vandal could have caused a lot more damage that he did - he hit a template with 58 uses when he could have hit one with 2500. Hut 8.5 12:23, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * We do already have a guideline (WP:HRT) which says that high risk templates should be protected - it's just that the number of templates with enough uses to make a tempting target is huge, mass protecting templates is extremely dull work, most people don't know about the scale of the problem, and there are some users who have an issue with mass protecting pages. If you go to Special:MostLinkedTemplates you will see that the really high risk templates with tens of thousands of uses have already been protected, so we are getting somewhere. If you want to raise awareness the best place to ask is WP:AN since most active admins read that page. Hut 8.5 10:09, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Just to let you know - I'm about to send you the bot files by e-mail, together with instructions on how to set it up. --Kotniski (talk) 16:58, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Mass moves
Try to inform the Polish noticeboard. You may also try to issue WP:RM for affected articles. - Darwinek (talk) 09:39, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Additional Mass Moves
I also find it interesting that once my move request was made a number of other articles Grodno Governorate, Grodno Voblast and Belostok Oblast were edited to remove most, if not all Polish/Lithuanian traces, and Russified. These articles had been sitting for a number of months without significant revision prior to my effort to contribute with adding relevant facts, improving formating (infoboxes, etc.) and related article linkage - no commentary. Strange that it was just the articles I edited, not the Vilna Governorate, Kiev Voivodeship and other articles from the Western Krai - those still have references in Polish and Lithuanian.

What did I do? I replaced the Polish & Lithuanian items that had been removed while keeping the Russian references (probably should have been Belorussian references) that were in keeping with what Knepflerle said: ones from English-language texts should be found and used. Then I kept on upgrading the entries by adding relevant non-POV material, like the WP guidelines say. ..

Unreferenced, bot created stub articles
Hi. The user page of Kotniski says you are minding Kotbot while he is away for 10 days, so I bring my concern to you. I see that Kotbot is creating a great many pages about towns, villages, or hamlets in Poland, apparently sourced only to the corresponding Polish encyclopedia article. In the English Wikipedia a bot some time ago created articles about cities and hamlets based on a U.S. government census database. We know these places exist, because the government did a census of the people who lived there. We have deleted many articles about claimed geographic places or villages because sometimes it is just a street where a developer built a housing development, and is really part of a larger city. In other cases, we have deleted articles about claimed places because they were total hoaxes. The way to prevent this is by complying with the verifiability requirement by citing one or more reliable sources to show there is such a village or town at the claimed place with the claimed name. The US stubs also included population information. The articles Kotbot is creating generall have no reliable source. No Wikipedia is a reliable source, because each contains some hoax articles or articles making unverifiable claims. I see no mechanism to go back and delete these bot-created articles if the corresponding article is later deleted from the non-English Wikipedia. "Trust me" is not a substitute for WP:RS and WP:V.. Please only create articles having population information and at least one reliable source. It need not be online or in English. I have created a discussion about this at Village pump (policy). Please turn off the bot until consensus is reached there on whether creation of stub articles lacking reliable sources should be allowed. Thanks. Edison (talk) 17:27, 8 August 2008 (UTC)


 * The population data is based off the Central Statistical Office (GUS) Population: Size and Structure by Administrative Division (in Polish) dated 2007-12-31. GUS is partially equivalent to the US Department of Commerce. The villages are also only the Sołectwo, so there is a basis for creation. As the KotBot page says, it only creates the pages that it has been instructed to create - it's not a free-range bot :). Kotinski and myself, as native English speakers who understand Polish fluently, are verifying the pages as they are created. We will be increasing content, over time, as additional passes are made through the articles, so by no means are the articles completed.


 * KotBot is an approved 'Bot doing the task it was designed to perform.


 * Ajh1492 (talk) 18:16, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Please respond at the Village pump, so as to avoid having mini-discussions scattered at various places. The Bot approval discussion did not address policies WP:V and WP:RS. The articles for villages rarely include population, which if unknown, makes the village look non-notable. Thanks. Edison (talk) 18:18, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

I find it rather rude that a discussion about any concerns could not have been discussed here first. I could have stated what KotBot is trying to do. Instead the decision was made to air the complaint in front of the entire community. Ajh1492 (talk) 18:34, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry if you find it "rude" but I consider it a crisis when I look at "new articles" and most of them are created by this bot which makes every dot on a map into an unreferenced and uninformative stub article which doesn't even say what the population of the place is. Please address your concerns at Village Pump as to the policy issues. ThanksEdison (talk) 01:36, 9 August 2008 (UTC)


 * A Crisis? You really need to step away from the computer, dude. Ajh1492 (talk) 13:37, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * As I said, it seemed a crisis because most of the new articles were unreferenced stubs created by this bot, at a rate of 5 or so a minute, when it was approved for 2 per minute. A day's work at AFD is about 120 articles, so this bot was creating as many stubs in a few minutes as a full day of AFD is typically required to remove, unless they were in a group nomination, which I do not like. The aythorization also said it should add population and area, which it has not done for the villages, only for the gmina. The concern about unreferenced and unverified articles was previously brought to the talk page of the bot creator, where he dismissed them. The next step is to bring it to the attention of the community, which I did. I checked in the public library and could not find information there about a sample of these villages. The smallest towns in Poland which apear in the multivolume "Columbia Gazetteer of the World" appear to have several thousand. Is there really no information anywhere on the population of these villages? I added a couple of references to Morag, population 14500, but it had a pretty good article from the first edit. Is there really no source for these smaller villages other than the population and area of their gmina? Then how about limiting the coverage to a listing of the village sin the gmina article initially. Then if anyone found any references for a village, it could be made into its own article. Gmina Tuszyn indicates the rural villages of that gmina number 22 and have a total of 4512 inhabitants for an average population of 205. Edison (talk) 19:12, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

GEOBOT
Hi do you know any editors who would be willing to run the GEOBOT that was approved?. It might not be a bad idea if a few editors with a knowledge of computer programming and bots who could be running it, after all we have a project set up to run it and it seems unfair for us to expect to depend on Mr. Fritz to run it alone. Do you have a knowledge of bots and how we would go about running it for other countries besides Poland? Ideally I had wanted to draw up a detailed world list of settlements with global coordinates in a table as was originally proposed. The Bald One     White cat 19:23, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

I am a programmer by profession and I have a rather good knowledge of how WP bots operate. I would be willing to run the Bot after Poland is finished. And I do have a higher-speed dedicated internet connection. Ajh1492 (talk) 00:43, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi sorry for the delay. Thats fantastic if you do. The Kotbot is really very good despite all the fuss kicked up about it. We jumped 4,000 articles the other day. Once Poland is done I would be immensely grateful if you and Mr Kot can help out! The Bald One     White cat 13:21, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits to border templates
I am afraid you have made a few errors. I am not a template expert, but for starters, they should align right, not center. Also, make sure that the links to edit the template link to the correct template. You should probably ask for help at WP:VPT.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 02:08, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

We are doing another activity check on members of WikiProject Poland. I've noticed that you have not been active in the Poland-related articles in the past few months (we define it as doing 10 or more Poland-related edits per month in the last three months period), and as such I took the liberty to adjust your position in our Participants list from active to inactive. Please note that this is just a method of keeping track of how many editors are currently active on Poland-related topics. Feel free to move yourself back if you disagree with this, and/or comment on WT:POLAND. In case you are not aware of that, our project has many active discussions on its talk page, we also list Poland-related article news (hee), Poland-related new articles for review (hee), Poland-related articles in need of cleanup (here), a listing of most popula Poland-related articles (here), a portal (here), and other tools. If the activity incrases, we would like to implement other tools, such as project A-class reviews and a newsletter. We are looking forward to seeing you around more often!

Speedy deletion nomination of Waldemar Magunia


A tag has been placed on Waldemar Magunia requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

 * Not a bad suggestion going for WP:GA. Will post a note to WT:POLAND. Ajh1492 (talk) 13:04, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

If you're really serious about WP:GA please take a closer look at the Manual of Style (infoboxes). Quote: "The less information it contains, the more effectively it serves that purpose, allowing readers to identify key facts at a glance. Of necessity, some infoboxes contain more than just a few fields; however, wherever possible, present information in short form, and exclude any unnecessary content." Thanks. — Raczko (talk) 00:31, 6 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Infoboxes are a lot easier to read on mobile devices than text contained with the main body of the document. It's the first information that shows up on the mobile device allowing the user to quickly scroll through the data to find what they need w/o having to dive through the article. Ajh1492 (talk) 01:57, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Re: It was never "Podlachian" - we had this argument in 2008

Wikification
In this edit too German Lopatin, you added a few wikilinks, and removed the "Wikify" tag, as if those few links addressed the problem.

Hi Ajh1492 I wonder if you would mind if I now removed the orphan designation that you added to the Future Legend Records (independent label) page? I have found 9 other pages referencing Future Legend Records. Would this be enough to make the page no longer an orphan? I have made quite a few changes to the page also, which may be enough to rectify your other designations. What do you think? All the best AubreySimpson (talk) 17:24, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Stations
I have a feeling stations would be better at Xxx station or Xxx railway station rather than (PKP station). The trouble with the latter is that if you don't know what PKP is/who PKP are, then the title is quite meaningless, but anyone with a basic grasp of English knows what a (railway) station is. I would do a WP:RM but I don't really know where to do such a large one to include all articles :/ SeveroTC 19:00, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Dreher
Hi. You extracted this deleted article from the Wayback Machine and re-posted it. There are two problems with that: (a) it loses the contribution history, which we are obliged by the license terms to maintain; and (b) the article was deleted for a reason, WP:CSD, having been tagged "db spam. information merged into Anton Dreher." Another user asked at WP:REFUND for the history to be restored, and I have done that, and have notified, the deleting admin, to let him decide what he wants to do. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 19:55, 13 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm in the middle of trying to hack and chop the article up. The Dreher Breweries are very notable in Hungary. Merging into Anton Dreher isn't exactly appropriate since Anton Dreher Jr died in the early 20th century. Just give it a few days to finish doing edits on the article.

I hope you are checking edits before you save them?

This one left Bug river as a redirect when you changed a good link into a redirect - I know it is only a small point but I have just had to correct it. Chaosdruid (talk) 19:46, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Rzeczpospolita
I can see that strongly you have placed the link Name of Poland by the use of template "See also", at the beginning of the page. Previously, I moved it from there to the section 'See also' of the article, mainly to avoid the multiplication of templates placed on top of the page. I believe that the presence of a link to the Rzeczpospolita (disambiguation) seems to be inevitable, even though many historical meanings are already taken into account right in the article. As you know, the proposal to remove a disambiguation page for Rzeczpospolita was rejected as a result of the discussion. I think it would be skillfully to notify the existence of a dab page, just using the template "See also" placed at the beginning of an article, as it is already done. Possible to use is well as template "About" (with its variations), which, however, produces a greater number of auxiliary words and also displays the phrase "For other uses, see...", not appropriate in this case (I might be wrong). Given the above, I have a proposal as to determine the layout of templates on top of the page. Namely, we could use template "For" as follows:, which gives: For additional clarifications see: Rzeczpospolita (disambiguation) together with: See also: Name of Poland, as it is currently done. --Robsuper (talk) 13:03, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Bialystok FAC
There's actually a quite large gap in terms of quality between GA and FA, as I've found out through personal experience. I agree with the reviewers that the article is not ready yet. It needs a good bit of copy editing and clean up of the prose as well as a lot of gnomish minute and tedious work in regard to formatting (which I personally hate). I think all the most important information is already in the article but the presentation of the information does need to be worked on. I'll keep trying to help out with the article and I think in a bit of time we can get it back up for FAC again.Volunteer Marek (talk) 21:41, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Border Agreement between Poland and the USSR of 16 August 1945
Hi, I see you have an interest in the topic, I have re-written the article slightly. I was wondering if you could maybe find/make a map that would show the exact 1944, 45 and 48 adjustments, and redo that incorrect Poland-Belarus map. In addition, I am having difficulty sourcing information regarding the events of 1944, since I, alas, do not understand Polish. Last, but not least the article is slightly orphaned, and it needs to be lobbied in the numerous relating articles. And as a final note, it needs more expansion, since it is focused on the topic of Poland-Ukraine and Poland-Belarus, but to my knowledge the treaty also agreed on the splitting of East Prussia and the adjustment to the border around Lithuania and Suwalki, and more information is necessary on those points. I would greatly appreciate if you would assist me on some (not necessary all) of those requests. Best Regards! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.165.80.196 (talk) 12:52, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Dear AJH1492, Hi. Hope you don't mind me mentioning here but I think Barbara Massalska might be a bit more notable than might appear. The sourcing is problematic but I think some of her work is well known (even if many don't know who did it) in Gdansk. I should mention I'd never heard of her but I think 26 Long Market and the windows in St Barbara's are well known to many in Gdansk. The pictures in the National Gallery (Gdansk branch) and at Malbork Castle collection might be enough to pass artist if we wanted. I don't know if you might want to have another look.

Białowieża Forest
Dear Ajh1492, I genuinely do not understand what you're trying to do with the Białowieża Forest article. You keep reverting my edits, stating as your motivation that the names from the World Heritage List are to be used. If we take a look at the World Heritage List, we see that it uses two names: These are the Russian and Polish names, respectively. You can tell that the first is in fact the Russian name, not the Belarusian one, from the fact that it says Belovezhkaya. The Belarusian name has an a in that place (''Byelavyezhskaya).
 * Belovezhskaya Pushcha
 * Białowieża Forest

But contrary to your stated aim, you keep reverting the article to a version which does *not* have the name used on the World Heritage List, but instead uses a Belarusian name (which is *not* on the World Heritage List). Or, to put it another way: the names that I am inserting *ARE* the ones used on the World Heritage List.


 * No they're not the names are "Belovezhskaya Pushcha / Białowieża Forest" at the top of the page. Ajh1492 (talk) 12:14, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

So if you truly think that the article should use the names as inscribed in the World Heritage List, I genuinely do not understand why you keep reverting my edits. - TaalVerbeteraar (talk) 11:08, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

For comments here, may I suggest moving them to article's talk page? More people will see them there. --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:27, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

They are there already. Take a look at the Review Process upgrade I'm proposing that I posted on your talk page. Ajh1492 (talk) 08:30, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

B-class reviews
Sure, streamlining it is a nice idea. That said, keep in mind very people do them. But getting them alive and kicking in our project is one of my goals. A-class would be next. But both require several active editors... and we have very few. --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:31, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Making it easier to conduct the B-class Review by streamlining and automation can help encourage editors to do the reviews. Yes there aren't a tremendous number of editors, but removing some clunkyness can help the process. Ajh1492 (talk) 08:36, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:02, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
