Advice
Hi Piotrus,

Sorry to bother you, but as you are an administrator, could I please ask your help on a matter which has come up. Could you please have a look at Question section on my Talk Page. I'm not sure how to proceed. 23:42, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Piotrus, The problem has now been resolved, I think.     00:59, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Map of the General Gouvernement
Hi Piotr,

I saw your comments on my user page about the map. I'm not sure what you mean by an English version? Only Warschau (Warsaw) has a different name in English, all the other cities and districts would be known by the native name (german in this case as the territory was occupied by germany). Or are you just referring to the map title? XrysD (talk) 21:53, 17 December 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, now I see what you mean. My philosophy for map place/region names is to use the language of the country involved. This seems to be the accepted convention for maps published in the UK (where I am) for many years now.


 * For me, often this involves some work if the source map is not from that country. For example the map of WWII Slovakia I did came from a German language original. So almost all the names were different from the native Slovak versions and required a lot of looking up. So for the map of the General Gouvernement, although I am a native english speaker and the majority of the population were either Polish or Ruthenian/Ukranian, the fact that it was a German administrative entity means the names should be in German.


 * Having said that, I feel it would be useful to have an entry in the article that lists the cities/districts with their equivalent Polish/English names. This is what exists for most other maps I have created and seems to work well.


 * I am not keen to add multiple language names to the map itself as I feel this clutters a map unnecessarily. I will however replace the German title with an English one as that makes sense. I will also correct the odd spelling mistake that I missed! I don't speak Polish, so stuff that a native speaker like you would pick up slips by me sometimes! How does that sound? XrysD (talk) 22:39, 18 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Piotr - I will implement the changes I suggested above and then we can see how it looks. I don't agree with your comment that maps on an English wiki should show English names (if they exist) first and foremost. This doctrine was abandoned many years ago in paper published atlases. All modern atlases I possess use the native-language principle I related above. This is also true in the media in general - (Bombay is now known as Mumbai, Peking as Beijing etc). I agree with this philosophy so I do not wish to change my map to use the outdated style. I do agree about map titles though so I will change this part as well as adding a section to the text that allows cross-referencing of the German names with their current Polish/English ones.


 * I will also take a look at updating the maps on the article on Administrative Division of Polish Territories. I also have detailed maps of the Ukraine and Belarus from 1941 after the Polish territories were annexed which would make up the Soviet part of the map. I have a couple of other maps that I want to finish first but as this map is rather interesting it will be high on my list after that. XrysD (talk) 14:56, 23 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Wesołych świąt i szczęśliwego nowego roku to you too! I read the guidelines on naming conventions and I agree that it makes sense for articles where space and layout are not major issues. Maps are different though in my view and readability and clarity must take precedence here. Something that having multiple names works against in almost every case. This is especially interesting (and difficult) for historical maps where the English names at the time don't necessarily reflect the ones used now. For example, Bratislava: until the formation of Czech/Slovak states this would almost uniformly have been known by its German name of Pressburg. But should a wiki map for that period show Pressburg or Bratislava? And of course it was also known as Poszony to its Hungarian inhabitants and is shown that way on Hungarian maps of the period. It is also interesting that German language maps of that era always show German names for cities/regions where they exist to the expense of any other names (as you are suggesting but using English names). For example, Klausenburg instead of Kolozsvár or Cluj-Napola. This made sense at the time, but now makes using them harder.


 * Thanks again for your kind comments on my maps. And thankyou for the offer of help for any Polish related maps that I may do. XrysD (talk) 11:31, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Franciszek Karpiński
It's late now, but I should thank you for nominating Franciszek Karpiński at WP:DYK. I created the article because I came across a link in a new article (I think one you created), that was to an article in the Polish wiki. Since he seemed like an interesting author, and to counter systemic bias I thought it worthwhile doing a little research and producing a short new article. I hope that in doing so, I didn't pre-empt something you were planning on writing later. I hadn't thought of nominating it at DYK myself, but thanks for making the effort.

Borders vs Countries-
When I put "borders" not countries my intent was to be exact. Poland was a country but occupied by the three powers. Many immigrants from Germany or Russia in circa 1890 would put "Poland" as their country of origin on the ships manifest even though Poland did not exist as a political entity. People from the west Ukraine were grouped with Slovaks and referred to as "Slavonians", the term "Ukrainian" was never used. Reports from the Pennsylvania Dept of Mines circa 1900-1910 would refer to dead miners as being from "Poland" "Bohemia" or "Slavonia". The US Census of 1900 and 1910 would give the country of origin as Poland rather than Russia, Germany or A-H. The reason being that persons questioned would tell the census taker Poland. My fathers father and his brothers always referred to their country of origin as Germany or German, even though they could speak Polish as well as German. My fathers mothers family listed the country of origin as Russia in 1900 and Russia/Poland in 1910. Poland was a country in the minds of these coal miners in the US in 1900.--Woogie10w (talk) 21:43, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I just took another look at the ship manifest in 1890 for my grandmothers father, the captin listed him as being from Plock Russia. The records for other ships however did use Poland in many cases. Yes Piotrus, Poland did exist in 1890, but it was occupied. --Woogie10w (talk) 22:05, 27 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Yet another interesting "occupation theory"! When saying "occupied", does this mean under military occupation? Or is there some other form of occupation one can be under? -- Petri Krohn (talk) 16:55, 2 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Partitioned Poland was obviously garrisoned by military troops of the partitioners. I am not sure I understand your question? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 16:57, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

List_of_Honorverse_characters#split_the_various_alphabet_lists_up_into_groups_of_ROUGHLY_ten_.2810.29_each
Hello, my examination of the history of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Honorverse_characters, plus my memory of earlier interactions, tell me that you are one of the most prominent people to be involved in Wikipedia's Honorverse.

Please take a look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_Honorverse_characters#split_the_various_alphabet_lists_up_into_groups_of_ROUGHLY_ten_.2810.29_each.3F

Do you see any problems with this?

I'd like to be able to make quicker links to specific people on the list, and short of making an html-like "Anchor" for _EVERY_ name on the list, splitting the Alphabetical list up into ten (10) name groups seems like the least-worst route.

Do you see any problems with this? LP-mn (talk) 01:50, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Piotrus and others-- This is a BEAR of a project. Please take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:LP-mn/Sandbox (User:LP-mn/Sandbox?). I've done the letters A and B. Before I continue, I'd like to know if this will be used, or if I'm wasting my time. LP-mn (talk) 06:04, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Piotrus-- (RESPONDING TO YOUR COMMENT ELSEWHERE)-- I am willing to do the work of splitting up the sections (User:LP-mn/Sandbox). My (other) question to you was meant to be, will my work actually be USED? I don't want to do it only to find out that others object and it gets tossed out. I have my own reasons why I'd like to make html links that get one closer to the relevant entry in the wiki list. LP-mn (talk) 16:26, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Done. Page redesign/split up is finished. LP-mn (talk) 03:09, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Polish culture article
Thank you for thinking of me. Let me take a look at the article and see how I can be of service. Happy 2009! Ecoleetage (talk) 21:45, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Question I hope this is not a silly question, but were any classic Polish films destroyed by the Nazis during the wartime occupation? I do a lot of writing about lost films made in the USA -- Polish cinema is not my area of expertise, so I am curious to know what damage was made to the nation's cinematic heritage. I seem to recall that the original materials for the Yiddish-lanugage Polish feature "The Dybbuk" was destroyed, although the film survives because there were prints in circulation outside of Poland.  I don't know if citing any lost Polish films would help that part of the article.  Thanks. Ecoleetage (talk) 15:10, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

EMS in Poland
Thank you for the kind words; unfortunately I did not create this article...that credit goes to someone with the screen name Swd. I have taken his preliminary work and am working to enhance it and bring it up to the standard of our own Emergency Medicine and EMS Task Force. We currently have a dozen articles on EMS in different countries (I believe Poland will be the twelfth), and our goal is to ensure that all of them reach a minimum 'B' standard or better. That is my goal in my rewriting of the Poland article. At this point, I am down to doing the inline cites and finding appropriate references. I suspect that the Polish article will end up being like the German article, in that good, credible, English language references will be almost impossible to find. I am adding them where I can, but could really use some assistance from someone who can read Polish and provide Polish language references where no English references are available. It is my intent to have the article ready for re-eval for 'B' status sometime next week, but I need those references to achieve that. Once that occurs, submission to T:DYK would be most welcome! Cheers! Emrgmgmtca (talk) 15:38, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Re:Bolko I the Strict
This is not the most popular name [in English]. Bolko I Duke of Schweidnitz-Jauer (or variant) is more popular. It also met the expectations of a large number of people about continental ducal titles. If it's the Germanoform style of the name that bothers you, then I guess can respect that given the transnational character of these rulers. But it would only be fair then, on both counts, to move Bolko II of Świdnica to Bolko II the Small. Regards, Deacon of Pndapetzim ( Talk ) 16:00, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Smiglecius
Hello. Martinus Smiglecius is definitely the traditional name in English, as you would see from the article: he has been well known and written about since the seventeenth century, and there are quotations referenced. Therefore it was not a good idea to move the page. You cite the name on plWP, but that is no good as a reason here. Also I see you moved Valentinus Smalcius, without discussion. That move was also inappropriate. Charles Matthews (talk) 17:08, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Response to your note to me re: conflict of interest/self-promotion
Thank you for informing me that I may be violating conflict of interest policies.

I started adding to Wikipedia articles on Polish literature/authors the URL of the online bibliography of Polish Literature in English Translation that I created/manage after the URL of the site had changed: I've been trying to track down any websites that link to the bibliography so that the address can be corrected. When I discovered that some Wiki articles on Polish literature linked to the site, I edited those articles to correct the address. I then decided that it might be useful to readers if I were to add a link to other articles on Polish authors/literary works as well.

This website, though it's hosted by roadrunner.com, is not a personal or profit site; it's a professional bibliography designed to be a service. The only thing it's intended to promote is Polish literature. I use the free webspace provided by my ISP rather than the website of the community college at which I'm a professor for several reasons, among which are the college's extremely limited budget and the lack of a streamlined way for me to upload changes to the college website. In fact, since community colleges don't tend to reward scholarly work (in fact, the teaching load and other responsibilities almost prohibit it), I do this on my own time, with no support from the college.

However, if my addition of the site's URL to external links sections for Polish authors/literary works is indeed a violation of conflict of interest/self-promotion policies, please let me know and I'll stop.

If you want to check out the site, you'll notice that my name appears only at the bottom of the main page to identify the author. The URL is http://home.roadrunner.com/~polishlit.

Hello! there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath and respond there as soon as possible.

Polish prehistory GA reviews
I tried to cooperate with the nomination and "bringing up to the standards" process at your urging, but honestly I've never believed that it would be possible to rewrite those long and somewhat unstructured articles to satisfy everyone's standards, without reducing them to triviality or investing an enormous amount of work. The reviewers want English language sources among other things. I think most of what's available in English on Polish prehistory is what I wrote here, except for journal articles on specialized subjects. Each reviewer produces a (more or less reasonable) list of things to do. After these are addressed, another reviewer produces another list, unrelated to the previous one, except that some of the problems listed were caused by the previous rewriting :).

I think the articles, as they are, convey their subject matter sufficiently well, without the need for any further approvals. My goal was to produce something (vastly) better than what I had found, not to chase some arbitrary and unstable standards. I'm also unable to work according to any timing demands, such as correcting an article within one week.

Having said that, some of the comments have resulted in improvements, such as the recent review of Poland in the Early Middle Ages by Wronkiew.

 * 1) What is the size of the english wikipedia in bytes? This chart doesn't show it past 2006 wikipedia chart. I'm just curious as to I've seen this question asked on various other sites.
 * 2) How do I request protection for a page? (I've looked at the policies and they are very confusing and don't tell me what to do=( and so I thought I'd ask you). I would like to have the Federal Reserve System semi-protected. I believe it meets or exceeds the vandalism requirements (the irony!).

Radwan Deletion
Hello -- on the Radwan deletion -- the point I was trying to make within the deletion debate was this article was originally found notable, then it was found not notable, and in the future it might yet again be found notable. I find it somewhat ludicrous, as I'm more inclined with moving towards inclusion rather than exclusion. The entire debate had an underlying tone of supplication to particular editors' self-appointed personal fiefs.

That being said, no hard feelings on my part. The article had nothing to do with my family. Quoting Norman Davies' "God's Playground: A History of Poland in Two Volumes -- Volume I, The Origins to 1795", page 127:  "Henceforth, those numerous noble families, whose names first appear in the documents and land grants of the late fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, have a continuous history into modern times."

This family was a prime example of that, with proof of the above provided, and yet the article was still deleted. A tad bit myopic in my estimation, given the academic sources establishing what I consider notability, but that's Wikipedia's loss. This is not a paper encyclopedia, and I think notability is getting mired with prestige concerns.

I'm an American. My interest in Poland is its being the center of extermination on an industrial scale of human beings, revolution, and sovereignty, given the country experienced an extreme loss of sovereignty -- it ceased to exist. -- Exxess (talk) 06:26, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

I was looking at some WP:USERNAME and wanted to know what is considered appropriate and what is not.The page lacks examples.=(
 * 1) Is having @yahoo or @gmail in your username appropriate as it advertises the site.
 * 2) Is having curse in your username appropriate?
 * 3) Is having a website in your username appropriate?
 * 4) Is having a number in your name appropriate? such as Call me at 563-094?

Also what happens when a username is deemed inappropriate? Does the user still remain on the user list? Special:ListUsers

Erm an additional question: What is the appropriate template warning to give to someone who is impersonating an administrator.User talk:Chevrolet Cop

Another question...how should I report a user who claims to have hacked an account? The user is User:Curse_of_Fenric and onWikipedia_talk:Username_policy and he claims to have hacked User:Timelord69. I was wondering how and to whom this should be reported?

Neutral notice of RfC
Hello Piotr. Thanks for inspiring me, because of your wonderful crowded wikipage, particularly the top metals, I have created Article_Rescue_Squadron/Hall_of_Fame. I used your template as an example of what I wanted to do, and theDJ was kind enough to make it happen. Now there is  It just goes to show that we never know all of the positive influences we have on other peoples lives :)

I was wondering if I can ask you a question.

I am considering letting the larger community know about an RfC, with the following notice: ==Request for comments on articles for individual television episodes== A request for comments has been started that could affect the inclusion or exclusion of episode and character, as well as other fiction articles. Please visit the discussion at Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(fiction)#Final_adoption_as_a_guideline.

 * Category:American comedy television series,

Masada
Where did you suddenly get that from? Well, actually, I understand wherefrom. But do you have more?

I right away did some basic work (adding, deleting and changing internal links; standardized first sentence; deleted infobox since there are no infoboxes in this article; added category to redirect).

Thanks again. Debresser (talk) 19:59, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

By the way, I think the article on Rafael Cardones should be merged into the List of Honorverse characters. Could you initiate the procedure? Debresser (talk) 20:04, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

You showed the way, and suddenly I find that doing a merge is within reach of mere mortals as well. I put up a merge template, will now wait a week as you recommended, and then make the merge as outlined in the article you showed me. Thanks. Debresser (talk) 21:27, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

About the Honorverse template (see my talk page):

In that case I would be in favor of two templates. Although I would automatically put both of them in every article connected to the Honorverse. But my opinion remains that having two navboxes in one template is no problem. Debresser (talk) 19:34, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Honorverse boilerplate
There appears to be a potential need for getting others invovled in some aspects of the large number of recent edits by User:Debresser. Please see the comments at his talk page in the Reorganization of the Honorverse section. Wo far, I'm feeling a bit of a stick in the mud, as Debresser has, as nearly as I can see, done a good cleanup job in a section of WP which had been getting a bit shabby. But, it seems to me that we can't merely fall back on simple accuracy in these articles and must rely on brilliant prose, or something as close as we can come. A position I've had for some time, as you may recall from the extended slog with Treecat a while ago.

Anyway, would you take a look and stick in your own oar? Thnx. ww (talk) 00:21, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Nope, not the template. I haven't even looked at that, I don't think. Rather than bias your perspective with an account here, just read the last few entries in that section. Search for User:Ww, perhaps? And you might have to check my talk page in the last few sections for Debresser's messages to me.
 * You know, it's annoying that conversations are so often split over two talk pages. I notice you've mostly solved this by ignoring other talk pages and using the you've got messages tag. Maybe I should adopt your solution? Anyway, let's hope this potential contrtemps goes little further. ww (talk) 01:42, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Jewish historiography on AK - or not?
I don't really like either phrasing. Putting aside what exactly Jewish historiography is, it's not the case that "Jewish sources" are uniformly negative. In fact I'd guess that majority are positive or neutral (just a guess). From the rest at least a good portion of them are simply confusing NSZ with AK or relying on/repeating Communist era sources (and of course some "Western" and Russian sources do the same). So in a way "some sources" is more accurate (and more weasely) ... except that both of the sources cited here are just plain factually wrong (there was no AK in 1947 etc) as I've indicated on the talk page. At the moment I think the best thing would be to remove that sentence altogether and same for those two sources. If alternate examples can be found (and there probably are some out there) then a rephrased version of the sentence (something like "A few authors, such as and ...") could be put back in.radek (talk) 02:14, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Your use of the word "trolling" on the Wikiversity
Hello Piotrus,

I saw the word "troll" used early in my Internet career as an extension in meaning of "troll busting," which was the term for homeless-bashing in California, that led to several, highly biased, homicides.

Now I see the term used in equally biased ways as harassment, along with the word "noob."

I am about to start developing documentation extending the Scientific Method as a structural model for the Wikiversity. Key to recent versions of the Scientific Method is the need to eliminate bias.

You used the term "trolling" on the Wikiversity, and since I am going to use the word troll as an example of bias on the Wikiversity, I thought I should give you a "heads-up."

Oh, I spend most of my time on the wv, so you should respond there if you need to.--John Bessa (talk) 17:28, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Yhank you for your intervention. I would like things like this to be resolved in discussions but it is rather hard with Łukasz. As you can see everything I add is treated as Polish POV. It can be edited by Cambridge, Oxford and whatever else but in Łukasz opinion it will be still more POVish than books edited by RAŚ. I saw that once someone tried to talk to him but he wrote that he was not a real Silesian and a black man that he saw the day before on the Katowice street is as Silesian as he is. So what more can I say? He also writes above that he will again start to revert everything that some users add. It's just wrong. Cheers Opole.pl (talk) 09:07, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Military sociology
Hi Piotrus. I see that you have contributed to improving the above article, including suggesting it needed more internal links. So I've found it in the list of new articles to be wikified, and a few days ago I left a message on the talk page suggesting that a large chunk of the article - the majority in fact - is not really about military sociology, but is actually what military sociologists have to say about the armed forces. So I thought perhaps it would be better moved to Armed forces. I've had no response so far and wondered if you had an opinion. I'll also leave messages on the talk page of Armed forces and at Wikiproject Sociology. Regards. Itsmejudith (talk) 20:46, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Polish noble families

 * Thanks for the note. I didn't understand (and still dont) your reasons for "no claim of notablity", as I asked here once. If you replied to this, can you provide a link please. My basic question was, if you dont think that nobility is notable.  Again, I have little interest in entering a debate with Polish editors, over troubles with Polish people, based on references that I cannot read.  I only intervened, because I felt the arguments were lacking. Technically, you shouldnt re-PROD.  If there is consensus with other Polish editors, I dont mind, because the AfD circuit is overloaded.

Emigration of Germans from Poland in the 20th century
Hi Piotrus,

It's been two years since I created that article and I honestly have little recollection of what my thought process was when I created it. I suspect that I was copying text from another article because I thought this was too much detail for that article. I believe the topic is encyclopedic but I agree that some parts of it read like POV and OR. I admit that I know very little about this topic. Can you help me fix it? Perhaps you could start by identifying the areas that you think constitute the biggest problems.

Thanx.

Dziewanowski family and Polish nobility
Hi. First of, thank your handling this aspect of Polish history. Few people do it these days, and you work on Wikipedia will keep that history from fading like old books.

Two years ago I added articles on the Dziewanowski family to sections on Polish nobility. You removed them there's no proof of the family's aristocratic claim. I will be adding the family information again. Do not remove it. If you have any questions as to the nobility of the Dziewanowski family, check any legitimate book of Polish heraldry. Or as a short cut, google "Dziewanowski Chopin" and you'll find that the landed gentry that Chopin spent his summers with were the Dziewanowski. The search will also lead you to the family's history which ranges from the Napoleonic wars, to free Poland's first ambassador to the US, and as far back as the 1400's, where the Dziewanowskis were already one of the old noble families and part of the Jastrzębiec clan. So like I said - don't start deleting stuff. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mkunert (talk • contribs) 19:22, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Ecoleetage (talk) is wishing you a Merry Christmas! This greeting (and season) promotes WikiLove and hopefully this note has made your day a little better. Spread the WikiLove by wishing another user a Merry Christmas, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past, a good friend, or just some random person. Don't eat yellow snow!

Spread the holiday cheer by adding to their talk page with a friendly message.
