Hello; some of your photographs on Commons named "Haraki" look like Lindos castle...are you sure you took them in Haraki? I think there is a confusion between these castles, they are mixed in the photos you uploaded under the name "haraki"--Phso2 ( talk ) 12:11, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Judges' Council
A ping; the Judges' Council doesn't really count as part of the court system. Firstly it isn't any kind of court or tribunal, but more importantly it's completely unofficial. It has a written constitution and is considered by the executive when making decisions, but only because it's useful; by design, it has no statutory basis. Ironholds (talk) 16:57, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Teofil Rutka
Tak myślę, czy (bo chyba już Cię odblokowało) mógłbyś rzucić okiem na fatalny style artka. Ale przede wszystkim chodzi mi o szablon: MSZ refy, których się za pomocą szablonu domaga, są zupełnie redundantne w przypadku, kiedy art jest napisany na podstawie haseł w encyklopediach/słownikach, i to w dodatku dość krótkich. Nawet byłem na IRCu enwiki się o to pytać, gdzie jedak nikt nie wiedział, czy refy są konieczne, czy preferowane. Jak wiesz, między różnymi wiki są na ten temat rozbieżności (de się w tych sprawach od en jeszcze dużo bardziej różni, niż pl): ja wolałbym to hasło i bez refów, i bez szablonu.

A request for help
Hi there Piotrus:), I noticed your username on Translators Available Polish to English. I was wondering if you could help with updating Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi on the Hindi Wikipedia? Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi on the English Wikipedia has been majorly revamped- particularly, its being treated as a Biography of Living Persons now, since no one has been able to find evidence of his death. I'm sorry to say that I don't know much Polish, so I'd really appreciate your help in this :), although I understand if you don't have the time. Thanks in advance! Omirocksthisworld( Drop a line ) 05:21, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I meant to say the Polish Wikipedia (I must be running on auto-pilot today!). This is the link to the article...a quick check through Google Translate gave me the impression that the language was Polish- but for all I know it could be any language. I was just focusing on getting the information about Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi to be consistent on all Wikipedias, but if there's no article about him in Polish and you would like to make one, that would be great! Thanks for your help and patience with me (I seem to be confusing a lot of languages today :. Omirocksthisworld( Drop a line ) 20:42, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I have an interest in doing collaborative work that would fall under the umbrella of either social movements or social reform. I started looking around to see what was already in place and didn't see anything active now. I let a reply to your comment here.

Second Northern War
Witam,

ten artykuł został zgłoszony jako dobry. Tymczasem jest to wyjątkowo słaby artykuł z ewidentnymi błędami, nieustannym stosowaniem niemieckiego nazewnictwa miast i ziem. Na dodatek rola Polski w konflikcie jest minimalizowana lub pomijana, jak np. podanie, że wojska Rakoczego zostały pokonane przez "aliantów", że w Polsce zwyciężali głównie Tatarzy, że była to wojna szwedzko-duńska i rosyjsko-szwedzka, zaś Polacy ponosili same klęski za wyjątkiem bitew pod Warką i pod "Prostken". Ze swojej strony wpisałem drobne uwagi do dyskusji artykułu i zastopowałem głosowanie do poprawy. Na mechanizmach tutaj obowiązujących się nie znam, ale nie rozumiem dlaczego moi szwoleżerowie Gwardii nie zakwalifikowali się nigdzie, a ten gniot ma mieć miano "GOOD ARTICLE". Warto zwrócić uwagę na bibliografię artykułu, która wprost urąga zasadom: pierwsza pozycja dotyczy Piotra I Wielkiego, druga dotyczy wprawdzie dokładnie tej sprawy, ale z przypisów widać, że autor (Skandynam, jak mniemem) korzystał z pracy tegoż wprawdzie autora, ale znacznie wcześniejszej i ogólniejszej, ergo mało precyzyjnej. To trzeba albo poprawić, albo przegłosować na nie. Pozdrawiam serdecznie belissarius (talk) 02:57, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

A favor?
Hi, Piotr. I assume that you are fluent in Polish. Please forgive me if I'm wrong. :) I am dealing with a contributor who keeps recreating an article with copied content, and I'm wondering if there are language difficulties here. I can't know, because while the article has been deleted five times (and the content put in the article's talk page once, which has also been deleted, and in sandbox, which has been deleted twice), he doesn't talk about it. There's no doubt that there's a COI here, but I hate to block somebody for copyvios who could probably verify permission if he wanted to, and I'm wondering if there's maybe a language barrier. He's been blocked for three days; if you are up for it, would you mind explaining to him why and what he needs to do to verify permission for that content? --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:35, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you. The contributor is User talk:Waldemar smolarek art. The content has been previously published at . I assume he could easily if he wanted put a licensing statement at that site. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:14, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

re Merging AgRinceSocial Sci Res on Greatness with Greatness article
hello Piotrus

First, many thanks for your response:

Your request for feedback

Thanks for the message. I sense, and sympathise with, your frustration. As you have noticed, there are very few editors who regularly patrol WP:FEED and unless the subject of an article is pretty straightforward, the regulars get out of their depth very quickly. But I think I see a way forward. I will leave a message on the talk page of the Sociology Wikiproject asking for someone to take a look at your draft. It seems to be a pretty active project so someone should respond soon. So, please bear with us, and remember there is no deadline! – ukexpat (talk) 13:24, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Second,

i'm doing as you suggested, but have couple questions:

1) can i simply drop an entire section (useless in my opinion) of the existing greatness article, ie the "Naming Great" bit?

2) I need to get ok to reference a specific Lulu book as it is central to my article. How do i get such an ok??

again many thanks

AgRince (talk) 09:38, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

hello again

Just to let you know, following on the advice of yourself and another editor

I merged my ‘social science research on greatness’ article with the existing article entitled greatness which was labeled as a Sociology-related stub.

in the process I dropped a very small section of the original ‘greatness’ article, entitled, “Naming Great” because I think the point is already shown in the LEAD.

Assuming this merger is acceptable, should I now edit the current greatness article to remove the

or is that dealt with by wiki editors

re ok to reference a specific Lulu book
Piotrus

many txs again re:

You asked: Re 1) I'd say yes - it is unreferenced anyway. You may want to move it to talk, perhaps somebody can salvage it later. Re 2) I don't understand your question - what ok do you need to get, from whom, and why? -- Piotrus
 * 1) can i simply drop an entire section (useless in my opinion) of the existing greatness article, ie the "Naming Great" bit?
 * 2) I need to get ok to reference a specific Lulu book as it is central to my article. How do i get such an ok??

re 2) I'm new to Wiki (this is my first article) but as i understand it Lulu.com is blacklisted (and rightfully so in my view for all their idiotic junk email promos), but i believe it is possible to use specific book ref on lulu (ie the Url for a particular book) with editorial approval at wiki. The relevant book in my case is the last one discussed in my article, ie Dorris 2009.  should i just go ahead and give the Lulu Url for that book in my references and then deal with the editorial issue when and if it comes up, or is there somewhere i can request ok to use specific book ref on Lulu..?

AgRince (talk) 19:08, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Piotrus

txs for this advice:


 * Ah, I see. What I usually do is I link their books from Google Print - those links are not blacklisted.

i'll try that and see if i can link the lulu book from there.

 * OK, I'll most likely get to them later tonight. If not, I'll work on them tomorrow. Graham 87 08:57, 26 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Done, except for Lech Wałęsa, Human experimentation in the United States, and Nouvelles Extraordinaires de Divers Endroits, because I don't feel comfortable importing revisions when overlapping edits are involved. Graham 87 14:06, 26 April 2010 (UTC)


 * History merging is how I import the old edits. The problem with overlapping edits is that there is no way to distinguish them in page histories, thus making it harder to tell who did what to the article (especially for software that reads the page history). This is especially true with imported edits because, by design, they always create anomalies in the database, since high revision ID numbers can be assigned to very old revisions.


 * I've imported human subject research legislation in the United Statesbecause it's a straightforward case, and Nouvelles Extraordinaires de Divers Endroits because only one irrelevant overlapping edit was involved (the edit just added a "the", which was done in your Polish Wikipedia version anyway). I'm still concerned about Lech Wałęsa, because there are fifteen overlapping edits, one of which is mine, but that's not really the issue. :-) To import the history from the Polish Wikipedia, I would have to delete those 15 edits first. Can you confirm that that would be OK_ I want to be really cautious here because this action would be hard to reverse. Also, how about the edits after 3 February at pl:Wikipedysta:Piotrus/brudnopis/en/Lech Wałęsa? Graham 87 00:48, 27 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Hmmm, the server won't even let me import those edits. I'm not sure what is going on, but it seems to be duplicating edits at MediaWiki talk:Wikipedysta:Piotrus/brudnopis/en/Lech Wałęsa. I wouldn't want to *history merge* the edits to the pl.wp page from 8 February with the en.wp page, but incorporating them is an action that can be done by anyone (and it seems that the user did it anyway). Graham 87 01:40, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I give up. I have tried to import edits into MediaWiki talk:Wikipedysta:Piotrus/brudnopis/en/Lech Wałęsa three times and none of the attempts were successful. I'm not sure why importation is not working for that particular page; it only has a few more revisions than the other pages that I have tried to import. Every time I try to import the edits, I add useless deleted revisions to the database; I don't want to try to import the page again because I don't want to clutter the database with ten million duplicate edits. Graham 87 08:11, 27 April 2010 (UTC)


 * I just tested it by moving the page to a title without diacritics, and it still wouldn't import. However I didn't think that that was a likely explanation, because it imports one or two dozen edits into the history and then it comes up with a database timeout error. Perhaps it failed because of the size of the individual revisions, or communication problems between the servers, or the size of the Polish Wikipedia database, which is far larger than my usual import sources, the Nostalgia Wikipedia and Meta.

Polish nobility/Szlachta
Oh dear, and I thought I was being helpful. I have no personal opinion on this; working through CAT:CSD, I came on Polish nobility tagged by and made the requested move, thinking it was agreed. Can you discuss it with Espoo, if necessary starting a wider discussion on the article talk page? I will let Espoo know of your request. If the consensus is that the move should not have been done, I will certainly undo it (with a sigh, as there was a heap of double redirects to fix). Regards, JohnCD (talk) 16:46, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

HOAX
Hi! I hope, you will be not dissappointed, that next sentences I'll write in Polish. Nie jestem zwolennikiem teorii spiskowych, ale natrafiłem na cały szereg dziwnych haseł, które w żaden sposób nie są poparte źródłami, nie mają odpowiedników w polskiej WP, zawierają przekłamaną informację lub źródła, lub są po prostu bałamutne. Przykład? Łiesand Dunin (!!!) - niby to coś urodzone w 1870, ale "poparte" pozycją źródłową z roku... 1871. Ten sam artykuł, by nie pozostać sierotą, linkuje się z Gustave Wombique, który w internecie po prostu nie istnieje (a to, co istnieje, prawie na pewno wygenerowane jest przez hasło w wikipedii). Tak samo dziwnym wydaje się hasło Wanda Malecka - może ja czegoś nie rozumiem, ale czy "Bronisława" i "Wanda" to tytuły periodyków czasów napoleońskich?? Za tym wszystkim stoi ktoś, kto ma jeszcze takie oto edycje. Ale jest i coś jeszcze. W dziwny sposób styka się to ze sławetnym hrabią Rodrygiem Duninem (patrz Łiesand Dunin), który raz jest hrabią, a raz - farmerem, oraz - ze znaną Tobię Elonką. Może wiesz, co tu jest grane? Bo ośmielę się twierdzić, że to wszystko są postacie nieistniejące. A tak na marginesie, to wiesz być może, że nie jest żadnym problemem przytoczyć jakieś trudno dostępne źródło, nawet realnie istniejące, tyle że zupełnie nie do sprawdzenia - i podać pierwszą lepszą stronę. Tak jak to ma miejsce w przypadku "Leon Rogalski, Historyi Literatury Polskiej, tom 2, Nakładem Michała Glücksberga, księgarza, 1871. Pp.590-591". Konia z rzędem temu, kto potrafi to znaleźć, żeby sprawdzić, czy rzeczywiście są tam pp. Duninowie, Maleckie i Baranowskie. Pozdrawiam. Sverige2009 (talk) 12:42, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

The St Andrews Social Scientist
Good day,

I have recently been involved in the creation of an online magazine at my University. When I was on wikipedia yesterday I searched it and actually found that someone had made a page. However, I noticed that it was tagged for deletion and I was hoping you could elucidate as to why. I looked over what the person had wrote and it all seems pretty much true.

I expect that you get a lot of people creating random pages however I can assure you that this is valid; while we are new we will be featured on our University's IR and Economics department pages which should lend a degree of credence to what I am trying to accomplish. We also feature an article written by the former President/CEO of one of Canada's 50 best managed companies.

I looked over your profile and hopefully someone who has devoted a significant portion of their life to higher education can appreciate an undergraduate student trying to expand their horizons while providing students with an opportunity to augment their writing talents.

Hey, group one is going to do periphery countries. We plan on breaking it up into 4 sections, one for each of us. The sections will be as follows: Basic background - Lou How periphery countries form (why they are behind) - Rachel Interactions with core countries - Chris How countries rise from periphery to semi-periphery or core status - Jeremy

Each of us will also add sub sections into the four main sections. For how countries rise from periphery I plan on having a section on basic background of possible ways countries can do this, another couple subsections with specific examples of how these countries rose out of periphery status and finally how they adapt to the world market in their new status.

re: MedCab
Apologies for taking sooo long to get back to you. My life has been very busy (busier than it's ever been) and I only recently got back into the swing of thing. I'm cabalish-ly keeping my semi-retired note on my page until I feel I can participate more.

Anyway, so MedCab: Of course! Pick up any case. What case you take is up to you, and we never give recommendations: everyone has gone through their baptism-by-fire. I suggest you pick something up with at least 3 parties but no more than, say, 5. After 5 parties, things start to get hectic and influencing the discussion becomes more difficult.

Couple of rules of thumb: before worrying about NPOV problems, insist on sources. Always insist on sources. I tried it the other way around first (NPOV to V), but getting stuck on NPOV is sure to cause a struggle. There's a suggestion page, easily reached at MedCab's homepage, there's an IRC channel, and of course you can always e-mail or give me a heads up on my talk page. :-) Xavexgoem (talk) 17:58, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Tomorrow's Deadline
Hey, I recently posted a new section to my groups talk page on the Great Divergence about tomorrow's deadline. Other reviews/editors seemed a little angry at me for saying that it needs to be submitted soon. I don't know if they understand it's a school project but I don't know how to respond. I just wanted to talk to my group about when all their edits will be done and who wanted to submit the article.Thanks Kro14 (talk) 16:03, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Revision to Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri articles
I noticed that you have revised either Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri or Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire.

I intend to revise those articles following the WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines. There are more details on the discussion pages of those articles. I'd be interested in any comments you have. It would be best if your comments were on the discussion pages of the two articles.

Thank you.

Just a passig comment
Hello there. You probably have never met me considering that I'm only 1 in 10,000,000+ but I just wanted to say that this is amazeing. I never thought that Wikipedia could be used as a classroom assigment. Very creative. Anyway I found you out since you seem to get Malleus to help you with any issues that your students have in writeing. (I'm a big time TPS of his talk page) I just wanted to point out that in one of the articles that one of your groups are working on has a small (but in a way big) issue with the map. Japan is shown haveing it's most northern island as a Periphery country while the rest of the island chain is a Core contry. There are probably a few more "typos" so to speak in the map that may have to be fixed in order to pass it's GAN. But in a larger sence, this may not really be a big thing. Sicily is also marked red but I doubt that many people will notice. Anyway I just thought that I'd let you know about those very minor issues. Good luck with your students at getting all three of these articles to GA status!-- White Shadows stood on the edge 00:13, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Wow. who knew that there were so many other colleges useing Wikipedia the way that you do. I've heard that many universities actually dislike Wikipedia considering that "Anyone can edit it". Anyway, if you don't mind, I'll head over to the talk page of Periphery countries and make a few more suggestions since it seems like the article is in the middle of a huge expansion and this may mess up the GA with large sections of the article being changed and re-written.-- White Shadows stood on the edge 00:21, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Well you know what they say: Things don't always turn out as you plan them. Depending on when the deadline for promoteing all of the articles are, you may be able to finish on time. GAN's can be harsh and now that they are displayed at the top of every article with the template, people are even more concerned over their quality. At leat you are not makeing them write an FA! (heck I don't even have one)-- White Shadows  stood on the edge 00:26, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Question about a source
Hi Piotr,

I've corrected the map from your suggestions. I originally based the map on information that I found on the internet that referenced a paper in an academic journal. For some reason the tables that are on the internet are not in the academic article. Here is the web link to the article on the internet: http://www.irows.ucr.edu/cd/appendices/asr00/asr00app.htm#Table%20A2 and here is a link to the academic article on JStore: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2657290 I'm not sure how to site this as a source since they say that you should not use a web site as a source. Could you please provide guidance. Thanks.

Edited the Kruszwica history section - thanks
Thanks for you input on how to go about editing the page. I also added one inline citation at the end of the section to provide a better reference.

I had just started reading Lewinski-Corwin's book earlier in the day and saw this section was almost literally word for word from his text, with one small insertion by an editor who changed the end of a sentence translate a term. So I felt compelled to create a user account to see about how to go about addressing this lack of citation. Now that I have the account I will read up on procedures and try when and where I can to contribute.

Thanks again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MeckPomm (talk • contribs) 21:09, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information.

Periphery countries (part 2)
I can see they're still working on it; do you want me to do the review now to give time for them to make any changes and meet the deadline, or would you rather I give them time to finish tinkering? Malleus's point about Russia ("periphery" on the map, "core" in the text) still needs addressing; I've also noticed some other issues with the map—French Guiana a P.C., despite being a fully-integrated département of France, the Argentine half of Tierra del Fuego a different color to mainland Argentina, a mysterious island P.C. island off the coast of Brazil, the solidly-prosperous Czech Republic, Poland and United Arab Emirates bracketed with the periphery countries (whatever one's opinion of Dubai, it certainly doesn't suffer from "lack of technology, unstable government, and poor education and health systems"). If there's no easy way to fix the map, you might want to consider (or suggest that they consider) removing it for the moment; it's not necessary, and it would be a shame to fail it over that.

I'm also highly sceptical about the whole Stabilized government section—quite aside from the fact that I can think of any number of dictatorships with considerably more stable governments than the Western democracies, with the (arguable) exception of Iraq I think your students would be hard-pressed to think of a military action by any country (core, peripheral, or otherwise) in the past 20 years with protection of markets as the driving objective. If this is what the theory says (the cited source isn't available online so I can't check), it needs to be very clear that this is what this particular theory says, not what is widely accepted. – iride  scent  19:10, 13 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I will do. As long as the map is sourced that's fine, but in that case it at least needs an explanatory footnote somewhere to clarify the status of Russia in particular. – iride  scent  19:26, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Reviewer granted
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing 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. – xeno <sup style="color:black;">talk 22:06, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Periphery countries again…
How long do you want me to leave the GAN open for on Periphery countries? I'm more than happy to leave it until the end of the project, as I can see they're still working on it. At the moment it has far too many [citation needed] markers to pass, but if you think there's a reasonable chance they'll be able to fix them I'm happy to wait; you presumably have a better idea than me of how likely the students are to resolve all the outstanding issues. – iride  scent  10:43, 24 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually, while I'm here do you know what the modern name of "Benche, Poland" is? (Currently a glaring redlink on Charles Domery.) It doesn't look like a Polish or German spelling to me (as Domery lived in France, I suspect it's a French translation), but I can't think of anything that it might be. As Domery ended up in the Prussian army, I assume it's somewhere that came under Prussian rule during the Partitions. Every book on Domery gives "Benche" as his birthplace, so I assume it isn't a typo. – iride  scent  10:50, 24 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks; will close it as not passed, in that case (although hopefully, someone will come along and work on it later). Regarding Domery/Domerz, I've added a "no place called Benche exists" footnote—I'm wondering whether it's actually Benz outside Stettin/Szczecin, but Pomerania wouldn't have been considered Polish in that period. I suspect that whoever signed him up to the French army just scribbled down his name and birthplace as they sounded to a French ear, and both names were perpetuated from there. (If I had to guess, I'd guess the name was originally some form of Damir, but that's pure OR.) – iride  scent  15:01, 24 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Have put it as B-class, which I think is where it fairly sits on the scale. (I have to confess that I've never quite understood the B/C distinction, which seems to differ day to day). I've left the importance settings untouched, as I don't know how significant it is as a concept, and whether core/periphery is a widely used distinction. (My gut instinct is that developed/developing is far more commonly used.) – iride  scent  16:09, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Could you as someone with GA knowledge, or someone you can direct me to, possibly spend a few minutes going over the article again and tell me whether you think it could be easily tweaked into another nomination or whether it should be left for a while.

Saving the battletech articles by transwiking them to the battletech wiki(needs administrator)
I asked the only administrator at the Battletech wiki to import the nominated articles over there, but then I checked his contributions and found he hasn't made any in years now. So he'll probably not see my message.

So, if you want the articles saved, follow the instructions there, and you can easily upload them yourself. You just have to go to the wiki Adoption request and asked to be made an administrator on that wiki. Only an administrator can use the import function. Since there is no active administrator, you'll get approved instantly(tell them you are going to transwiki articles from Wikipedia to save them). I can't do it myself since it hasn't been 60 days since I adopted my last wiki(just a few days actually), and I also know nothing about this series. But if you wanted to save it, just export everything before it gets deleted, and make a request there, then import it once they approve you.  D r e a m Focus  15:50, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
