The White Eagle
What ho. I see you are an eager and active Wikipedia fan. Just wanted to say that the White Eagle might not be a common personification of Poland but it certainly was used as its symbol by various poets and writers- therefore I have taken the liberty to place it as such. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hoodinski (talk • contribs)

Maps
Hi Kpalion, hope your thesis is going ok.

I noticed you created Image:Location-Pol-Lith-Commonwealth.png, so I was wondering if, when you get a chance, you could do the same for the following years: 1025, 1138, 1320, and 1370. I want to add those maps to some of the articles in Template:Polish statehood. Appleseed (Talk) 18:23, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Saint Metrophanes
Hi there. As one of the participants in the Saints WikiProject could you perhaps take a look at Saint Metrophanes. There are contradictions on the page and I haven't been able to find a good solid source to base a factual article on in my admittedly rather quick web search. I have no special knowledge of this subject and only came to the article in order to fix a dead external link but had to stay around to clear up some of the mess. Can you help? --Spondoolicks 12:25, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

You seem to have some input you want to contribute to the Olympic medals pages! Why don't you go here and debate on what the convention should be. Thanks. -- Jared  [T]/[+ ] 23:48, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

St John Bosco
There has been some additions to the John Bosco page saying he was a closest homosexual or pederast. This is not NPOV. Do you agree?evrik 23:23, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Preventing an edit war on the saints
It was the established operation of the WikiProject Saints to have a section in the info box on a sample prayer. Some editors have been recently been attacking this in the individual articles.

It is my belief that prayers in a literary or historic context are NPOV. I can understand that some may consider the inclusion of a prayer to be hagiographic, but freedom of religion is not freedom from religion.

There is a 3RR about to happen on a number of these articles. I am trying to be philosophical about this, but don’t want to yield the point when what is happening goes against the consensus and borders on vandalism.

It is my understanding that if an editing disagreement occurs that the status quo, in this case leaving the prayers in place, holds until it is resolved. I encourage you to comment on this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Saints. I have posted my thoughts at the village pump.

Is it posible to redraw that on a world map. It doesnt show US and Canda and parts of Turkey is cut. Location of Turkey to Iraq, Afganistan Russia (USSR) is important in my view and was one of the reasons why Turkey was granted membership. -- Cat out 15:48, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Polish cochineal
Hi, Kpalion. I just wanted to thank you for all the work you've done on Polish cochineal. I recently happened upon the article and was delighted by the wealth of information and the quality of the writing and presentation. It certainly deserves at least GA status. Thanks for your effort and your time. Tesseran 07:01, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

User Page reconstruction
Hello, I have just noticed the tag on your user page. How would you like your page improved? I may be able to create a personally designed page for you. For further discussion, you can go to my talk page. Many thanks, Extranet (Talk 08:25, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

About Polish clans, Polish families and Polish coats of arms
Dear friends:

If you have some extra time, I would appreciate if you can take a look to Category:Coats of arms of clans of Poland and Category:Polish nobility coats of arms images, mainly the Talk pages.

There is an Italian wikipedian, who knows nothing about Polish history and Polish szlachta and he is rearranging the categories in Category:Coats of arms of Poland

In commons he is User:G.dallorto

My point of view may have some mistakes but I would thank you very much your thought and your discussion on this issue.

As today I got few time I am sending this same message to:

Thanks for creating the Saints Project
The project was recently given an award as a group, something I don't think happens very often. As the founder of the project, I think a lot of the credit goes to you. So, I hope on the behalf of the rest of the project, I think you personally deserve this:

Thanks again. And, if you ever feel any interest in removing the "inactive" tag from your name on the WikiProject Saints/Members page, you would be more than welcome to return under any conditions you would desire. John Carter 02:20, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Little context in Talk:Żubrówka
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Talk:Żubrówka, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Talk:Żubrówka is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Talk:Żubrówka, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Talk:Żubrówka itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 19:32, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

res publica
Rendering "res publica" as "public affair" has much less sense, the compound is effectively and regularly used in the sense of "the state" by Roman writers in reference to their state (either to the republic or the empire), and this is the meaning rendered in Polish as "Rzeczpospolita". I never met "res publica" in the meaning alleged in the article, because for "public affairs" the plural form is used. So? 193.0.79.15 11:51, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:Smoking jacket.png
Hello,

I am a little bit surprised by the licence for Image:Smoking jacket.png: "life of the author plus 70 years" suggests that the author of this photograph died at most in 1937, and the colour rendition is not consistant with the colour films of the era. Also, no source is provided. Could you have a look at this, please ? Thank you very much in advance ! Rama 13:55, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I simply used the same license tag that was in Macedonian Wikipedia, which is where I took this image from. There was no source provided there either. Anyway, I'm not sure if this is a photograph at all, it looks like a drawing or painting to me, so it's still possible that the author died more than 70 years ago. &mdash; Kpalion(talk) 15:16, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It doesn't look much like a painting. I am a little bit worried that someone on the Macedonian wiki might not have a very thourough understanding of copyright and have uploaded this image from Cthulhu knows where, put the a tag he though would fit, and that the error propagates itself from wiki to wiki. Rama 16:30, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * That's possible of course. However, the user who uploaded the image in Macedonian WP, Bjankuloski06en is an admin there, so he should have some understanding of copyright. I suggest that you contact him directly; he does speak English. &mdash; Kpalion(talk) 17:48, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
