Szczepanik
Thanks for your article on Edward Szczepanik (a relative of yours by any chance?). Do you have any picture of him that could be uploaded to wikipedia? So far most of the Polish exiled politicians and scientists are barely mentioned on English wiki and barely any article has any pics. If you happen to have any pictures it would be a great help.

Halibutt - Thank you very much for the updates and improved formatting of the External Links showing languages - very neat. I have just been in Poland so had not had time to finish the article or choose a suitable picture. I will do so soon. Cheers --Tom Szczepanik 00:53, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

K. Janikowska - Hi Tom, I am (most likely) a descendant of Leopold Janikowski and I am trying to research his (and my) family. I was looking in old church records of Sieradz where supposedly Leopold was born in 1856 but I did not find him. So, I found your info that Leopold was born in Dabrowka in 1855. What information/documents do you have to support it? I would very much appreciate your feedback. My e- mail address is mglinkow@gmail.com. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.65.216.13 (talk) 14:26, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

K. Janikowska - If you are researching Janikowski family trees you may like to look at Boretti's site: | Leopold Janikowski Although Boretti mentions both 1856 and 1855, he cites Polski Słownik Biograficzny, Tom X, str. 519 that states 1855 and I cited the source of his birth also as 1855 from Czy wiesz kto to jest? ["Who's Who"] (Warsaw 1938) in my draft article: User:Tom_Szczepanik/Draft_Leopold_Janikowski_article You can also see the gravestone of Leopold Janikowski in Powązki_Cemetery and see the inscribed date of birth as 1855.

Disambiguation link notification for April 11
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Leopold Janikowski, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Assini. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Featuring your work on Wikipedia's front page: DYKs
Thank you for your recent articles, including Leopold Janikowski, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK. Let me know if you need help, Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:54, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

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. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
