Turán–Kubilius inequality
Thanks for your note on Turán–Kubilius inequality. This is not a new article (it was created on April 15), so to qualify for WP:DYK it would have to be expanded 5x, to at least 5250 bytes. Expanding it that much is beyond my ability. --Uncia (talk) 15:15, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Welles article
Nice job, as usual. Will poke around a little more. Best, Novickas (talk) 14:17, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Not bad at all. A few minor grammatical problems, but like I said they are minor. It might help to identify "Lauterpacht" a bit more. John Carter (talk) 17:06, 5 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry I didnt finish...I'd like to rewrite the background section a little, if it's OK with you. Something along the lines of "While they share some prehistoric commonalities, the countries developed along differing cultural and linguistic lines...all were incorporated into the Russian Empire during the late 18th century, and developed national identities (Lithuanian National Revival, etc) during the 19th century..." Will probably have some time this weekend. So glad to see all your new work :) John, it's always nice to have outside input and help, but it's especially welcome from someone with your reputation. Best, Novickas (talk) 04:14, 8 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm a little bit at a loss as how to best order it...Maybe we could ask Renata, or sleep on it. But signing off for today. Later - Novickas (talk) 20:00, 20 May 2009 (UTC) P.S. Whatever you want to do is OK with me. Novickas (talk) 00:27, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Novickas (talk) 21:36, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Hey, you're back, wonderful. Am about to do this to the article: add a section called Secondary sources, put the books ref'd more than once in there, and for inline cites to them use the format 'Ickes et al. p. 41' (Gbook url where possible.) Hope you don't mind. Best, Novickas (talk) 17:05, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Soviet ultimatum
I actually have the article written off-line (about 70% done), just need another half day to finish up and insert references... which I don't see happening until the end of the month :(

BTW, I think the dab page you created is missing Soviet ultimatums to Latvia & Estonia in 1939 (to sign the mutual assistance treaties). I am not sure if those were actual ultimatums or just sternly worded "demands". Renata (talk) 19:34, 5 May 2009 (UTC)


 * The 70% that I have so far in case you are interested. Renata (talk) 22:55, 5 May 2009 (UTC)


 * As the invasion was predicated on the ultimatums not being met, they were more than "demands." I think that's well supported. PetersV     TALK 20:16, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Well disamb page always can be expanded to include remaining ones. M.K. (talk) 09:25, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Žirmūnai
The pronunciation was allegedly in the IPA, but it wasn't. It turned out that it was in an ad hoc transliteration also used at Vepriai and maybe for some other Lithuanian cities. I hope I've converted these properly, but I don't know Lithuanian. If you can help out, here or at Lithuanian language, that would be appreciated. kwami (talk) 00:35, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

AN/I thread
Thank you for pointing out the respective Digwuren ruling, however, now that I started the thread at AN/I, I suppose I can't take it to AE anymore. Would probably have been the better choice though - the lack of responses of uninvolved admins at AN/I make me feel that accusing "that German" of "whitewashing Nazi crimes" and stating "I do react when hearing German language on the street" is considered legitimate background noise a contributor is expected to endure and not the actionable offense I regard it. I'll just wait and see what happens. Skäpperöd (talk) 15:47, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * FYI I had mentioned that when I went to Poland in 1970 I was warned by Poles never to speak German only English, memories of the war were fresh in the minds of many people. Germans were not allowed to travel there. I also remarked that in 2002 while in Gdansk in 2002 I heard German spoken by persons in the street. The younger generation is lucky, they have no memories of the German occupation. I wanted to clarify Skäpperöd's remarks.--Woogie10w (talk) 22:32, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Southern Poverty Law Center a reliable organization?
For clarificaiton, this is what Martintg was inquiring about at the WP:RS noticeboard. I'd say it's a specialist organization that can be relied on in making the calls as to the reporting of particular facts which are cite-worthy for Wikipedia – you can see the context for it at my last edit for Neo-Nazism. I added this to WP:RS – would be great to have your opinion on this specific case. Thanks a bunch, PasswordUsername (talk) 18:12, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Signature of Valdas Adamkus.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Signature of Valdas Adamkus.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 04:18, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

regarding 3RR

 * Wow, is this Jacurek??? Thats hate speech and definitely a WP:PA, not to mention illegal in many countries WookMuff (talk) 00:44, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think it is J. It just a routine rant, because of my strict application of 3RR rule across Wikipedia. M.K. (talk) 09:26, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Well... thats sad. Lithuanian hate is just so... surprising to me. I didnt realise lithuanians were reviled. I thought they were just... from Lithuania and ummm thats all I know :) WookMuff (talk) 10:40, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Congratulations you won! Answer is correct - Lithuanians are indeed from Lithuania! Now, lets move to the final question of today's show! Be aware, that it is the most difficult question up to date! Are you ready!? Are you prepared!?...[awkward pause]...This is it the final question: what is worse - to be a member of the Eastern European mailing list or engage in the edit war? The clock is ticking! M.K. (talk) 11:42, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

M.K.
When I saw that you had complained about User:Jacurek's edit warring, I got very confused. I had been watching this user, trying not to bait him but seeing if he would overstep 3RR and so then I saw your complaint was wondered if maybe you were me and I had been editing Wikipedia in my sleep...

 * I will have a lot of fun if you stay away from me, o.k.:)?--Jacurek (talk) 17:58, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Calm down, ya doof. I am opposed to you because you are letting nationalistic pride invade an article that has little to do with your anti-soviet rhetoric. Nobody is denying that the soviet union sucked, or that poland has had a hard time the last umm lets say 200 years, but you can't let it get you down. WookMuff (talk) 19:39, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Lithuanian General dude!
So far, I have come across a few small points I can't exactly smooth out. I will post them here once I finish. Other than that, going well and he seems like an interesting man. WookMuff (talk) 11:29, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 * OK! M.K. (talk) 11:30, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

"reserve lieutenant in the Soviet Army, becoming SA motorized infantry platoon leader" Military ranks of the Soviet Union Junior Lieutenant, maybe? Also, I don't understand SA. Sub-Altern?
 * this source says "Rank of reserve lieutenant.". "SA" stands for Soviet Army.M.K. (talk) 11:45, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, probably a lieutenant in a soviet Military reserve force.

"Lithuanian National Defence Volunteer Forces|Voluntary Service of National Defence" Was there a name change? Did the "Voluntary Service of National Defence" become the "Lithuanian National Defence Volunteer Forces"?
 * Yes there was a name change, however "Lithuanian" is added in order to separate from similar articles.M.K. (talk) 11:45, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

"course of strategic studies." He was taking courses in strategy?
 * I think so. M.K. (talk) 11:45, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Cool, will go fix that up now

WookMuff (talk) 11:35, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Petri and Martintg: them Poles are not to be blamed for nothing!


Thanks for indicating the first stadium in that funny bit of Wikipedia history. Martintg has answered it. I took the liberty of answering back.

Oh, before you answer yourself, you may consider the fact that Petri Krohn is on record as asking everybody who is standing up for him to reveal their real name, e-mail, personal history (resistance to nazism or communism in particular) and any ties to the Russian or Soviet government (I suppose in your case that may include ties to the Lithuanian or, God forbid, German government) to arbcom. ;>)

I suppose you will get by that "problem" if you do not mention him (no idea why Martintg mentioned him, anyway). :>)) --Paul Pieniezny (talk) 12:52, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

EEML
If you want to tell ArbCom something directly, I suggest you email them instead of posting on the talk page. On the talk page members of the web brigade will try to drown your message into walls of text, and the arbs will not read it. Offliner (talk) 12:23, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Arbcom permission for EEML evidence
Arbcom clerk comment: MK - in this post you claim that you were given permission to quote emails from the archive in your evidence. As this directly contradicts an Arbcom directive, I will need proof of this permission. Otherwise I will be obliged to remove your evidence. Manning (talk) 14:05, 19 October 2009 (UTC)


 * In the absence of specific Arbcom permission to do otherwise, you will need to refactor your evidence to abide by the Arbcom directive (see here). Otherwise I will be required to remove your evidence and apply a block. Manning (talk) 18:27, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

EEML- spelling
Hi. I hope you do not object to me trying to help you there - but you should have a good look at the spelling in your table. You have a number of times misspelled meat puppetry and sock puppetry. "administrators function abuse" is also a problem. It needs to be a genitive singular (since your evidence is against ONE admin). "Administrator's function abuse" would both be correct and clearer. Only wanting to help, and feel free to delete this comment after sorting it out. Take good care. --Paul Pieniezny (talk) 00:52, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the tip! M.K. (talk) 08:13, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Relocation of EEML evidence
Just a notice: For a few users I have relocated your EEML evidence to a sub-page.

The reasons for this are because your sections are now so long it was becoming impossible to navigate and decipher who wrote what, particularly towards the end of sections. This effectively rendered your evidence as unusable, which was not a good thing.

Rather than reduce the size of your evidence (which I deemed as unfair) I have removed them to private subpages. These are yours and yours alone to edit. They certain make interpreting your evidence MUCH easier.

The downside is that when you update your evidence it does not go into the history log of the principal evidence page. Hence I suggest you add a brief "Updated evidence on ..." note beneath your evidence heading on the main evidence page. This will alert people to changes on your subpage. An extra bit of hassle I know, but it a small price for having evidence which can be understood.

Also feel free to create a single sentence description of your main headings and insert it on the main page below the link I have added. See this for an example from a previous case.

I hope none of you are upset by this - I assure you my only objective was to increase the usability of your evidence.

Sincerely, Manning (talk) 22:46, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Re Welles Declaration
Just to make sure it was OK, I asked here about doing the GA review and the suggestion was that it would be better for someone else to review it - my guess is that it will pass without much problem. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:00, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think it should be a pretty smooth process for GA. Hope it is not too long a wait, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:05, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I can see it becoming a FA evetually - you might want to ask the GA reviewer about that. One concern might be the length as comprehensiveness is an FAC criterion - trying to predict what will or will not be an issue at FAC is pretty tricky.

Revert
I reverted your recent edit to the proposed decision talk page of the EEML case. The talk page is for discussion of the proposed decision only.

Regarding articles Danielewicz and Bohdanow
Greetings,

I made some changes (cleaning up) in the Danielewicz article and I would be gratefull if You can look at it and leave some comments to improve the article.

Furtheremore, as Im quite new on Wiki, I had some troubles to add tag regarding copyright information on my pictures. I reloaded and renamed those pictures, added tags with copyright information and in the articles I change ref. to those new pictures in the articles of Danielewicz and Bohdanow.

Could You please check if i did something wrong again or if it went om this time!?

I've just spend 8 hours on improving and changing...i have to get my life back! ;)

Polish–Teutonic War (1431–1435)

Czeczot

 * Greetings! I see many changes in the question of the nationality, I do not question his roots of being from Belarus origin but there are certainly those that want to change it, when they do the change, maybe You could write short comment so they don't change it back. i will of course support Your point of view. Im myslelf of the Ostoja Clan and we perfectly know every family origin from before (about 240 families) and also today. If You need support and references, I can be of help if You wish to use them. I do the historical research of the Ostoja's since 1986, My references is Adam Heymowski (10 years of guiding from his side) and I do not think that anyone would question his publications.


 * To the question of writing the name, well...in the Commonwealth we had ONE administration and it was actually polish, it was totally dominating in the nobility of both Belarus and in Lithuania. Therefore, I thing that it is correct to write Czeczot as it was the historical spelling of the name in all of the Commonwealh. However, that itselft does not change the facts of the Belarus origin of the Czeczot family.


 * Thank You for watching the side and correcting errors!

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Karanacs (talk) 17:27, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Warning: Please do not continue edit wars at Władysław Syrokomla
Hello, this is to notify you that you have recently made a revert at Władysław Syrokomla that continues a very old edit-war about how to describe this person's nationality.

I have opened a new move request to see if the name that was proposed and had consensus or if the other name discussed had consensus. When editors are endorsing either of two names, consensus is murky. So a new nomination should clarify this. Vegaswikian (talk) 17:39, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Adam Mickiewicz
Please don't revert into this article false information about Adam Mickiewicz, who was only a polish poet. In 19th century both: Poland and Lithuania were not literally on european map, but he was writing only in polish and had contribution only to polish culture. To avoid misleading facts I've given reference from Britannica where facts are clear. Please stop contributing false information. There is a harm for knowledge if only english Wikipedia is given false information when Pl.wikipedia and others are following the truth. I'm able to understand than lithuanian language and national consciousness awake in late XIX c. but there is not a reason to claim that Mickiewicz was a lithuanian poet.

Restoring edits by a banned user while simultanously asking for page protection due to banned user activity
Hi. Recently you reverted my reversions of a banned user here here and here. At the same time it seems you asked for a page to be protected because it was being edited by a banned user. I have no problem with the the request for protection, but it just seems weird that on the one hand you are trying to protect articles from edits by some banned users, while at the same time you are busy restoring edits by another banned user. I'm sorry to say but this smacks of gaming and bad faith. If your concern is that banned users disrupt some articles you can't turn around and try to enable other banned users (putting the question of sock puppetry aside) from disrupting other articles.

Also, your edit summary was completely non-constructive.

While this isn't edit warring per se, it is very much battleground behavior and possibly meat puppeting. If you would like to self-revert your edits and start a discussion on one of the three articles talk pages that would be a start. Volunteer Marek 23:54, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Vilniaus diena.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Vilniaus diena.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Hi! Could you please take a look at Talk:Jogaila?
