User talk:Wojsław Brożyna

Hi, I see you recently undid an edit I made to the article on Anarchist symbols with the edit summary, "stop lie if it directly from referenced site." I do not understand what that means. I get the sense that maybe you are not a native English speaker— if that is so, then you will need to find a way to be much clearer about reverting another editor's changes. You have a very brief history of editing the English Wikipedia (181 edits as of today) and may not be familiar with our policies regarding article content. In light of this, I am prepared to reinstate my change if you cannot provide a better explanation of what you meant by the above. Am utterly confused. Please elucidate. Thanks.

A barnstar for you!
@Wojsławie: I have been going through some of your contributions, fixing the grammar here and there. I hope you do not mind: it is in the WP spirit. Please review, if you have them still on your watchlist. Pozdrowienia z Wrocka ;). Zezen (talk) 09:50, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

Slavic neopaganism
Please be careful when selecting sources you cite in wikipedia. Please review WP:RS. I undertstand that it is very difficult to find scholarly sources on this subject, but you may also understand that the websites of rodnovers are extremely dubious source of mythology due to their natural bias. Staszek Lem (talk) 21:13, 5 September 2017 (UTC)


 * There is only original source material vs all other publications when analyzing bias vs unbiased history.
 * How exactly is including information from Rodnovers "extremely dubious" if this is necessary to show valuable perspective against other biased and funded research analysis? 188.147.76.61 (talk) 14:48, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Edit warring
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you.


 * I don't know what's going on between you and Sabbatino, but stop edit warring on Sabatino's talk page. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:58, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

September 2017
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

 * What is inappropriate in my edits? Deleting comments from disscussion is allowed on Wikipedia? --Wojsław Brożyna (talk) 18:36, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * With very few exceptions, you are free to remove anything you like from your own talk page. The only exceptions are content around currently active blocks. --Yamla (talk) 18:38, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * But this user deleting just my current disscussion with him, so who should get banned? --Wojsław Brożyna (talk) 18:41, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * You, if you continue to replace the text after it's been removed by the other user. --Yamla (talk) 18:43, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * So does WP:EQ and WP:TALK have any practical application? He break some points of them, eg. "Do not ignore reasonable questions" form WP:EQ and rules of editing/deleting others' comments; he delete my comments with note which stated that I don't know how Wikipedia works when I simply ask him where I make WP:OR. --Wojsław Brożyna (talk) 19:30, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Those are guidelines. But you don't have the right to edit war on someone else's talk page. Your comments there were boarderline personal attacks, too. If you believe your contributions on an article are being removed inappropriately, you should discuss the matter there and build up a consensus with other editors, while being careful to avoid personal attacks. --Yamla (talk) 20:34, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Ok, I understand. But where I used personal attacks? He used it to me, he tried to convince me that I putting WP:OR... --Wojsław Brożyna (talk) 21:16, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * My sincere apologies. Having looked at your contributions in more detail, I can find none that appear to violate WP:NPA. Very specifically, I looked a second time at the contributions I looked at earlier, which I thought were maybe personal attacks, and they very clearly are not. I unreservedly retract that statement, and want to be clear to anyone else looking at this discussion. To the best of my knowledge, Wojsław Brożyna has made no personal attacks. --Yamla (talk) 21:58, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Wojsław Brożyna, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Natib Qadish have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Translation. See also Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. The article has of course been deleted, but it appears to be a copy of https://www.scribd.com/document/73368870/Natib-Qadish Thank you. Doug Weller talk 12:08, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

Photos about Rodnovery in Poland and Russia
Hello Wojslav!

It appears that a few pictures like this one that we have used to illustrate articles about Rodnovery, are going to be deleted despite they have been on Wikimedia Commons for a decade.

Having noted this, I am working to replace them, since it is unlikely that the user who uploaded it ten years ago will resurface to rectify the license. As for now, I have sent an email to www.rodnovery.ru (USNBC) asking if they agree to upload some of their photos.

I would like to know if you already have contacts with them, or if you might provide photos from Polish organisations.--Eckhardt Etheling (talk) 07:48, 11 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Great! You have to upload the photos and then forward the email exchage that you had with the photos' author to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org, with a link to the uploaded photos and to their original location (if they were online, otherwise you might attach them to the email). The author has to clearly express his consent to upload the photos (e.g. "Yes, I agree to upload the photos xyz (+links or attachments) to Wikimedia Commons under the CC-BY-SA 4.0 license". In most cases this is sufficient. However, in some cases they want the permission directly from the author, so you could have to ask the author to send the email himself (in this format).--Eckhardt Etheling (talk) 11:24, 11 April 2018 (UTC)


 * I am glad to inform you that I have obtained the permission to upload photos from www.rodnovery.ru and even the photos of a Temple of Pyarun in Belarus from another website. I'll upload them in the next hours or days.--Eckhardt Etheling (talk) 12:29, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

The symbols of Slavic deities
I noted that you hastily removed the red symbols in the tables of "Deities of Slavic religion", also accidentally deleting some content unrelated to the symbols that was added at the same time I was adding them. Those symbols are easily found online and they are embroidery patterns that have been associated to the gods. I have seen some of them used on gods' poles in some photos. In any case, they are not directly related to the Ynglist Church, if this were your concern. In some websites they are listed together with symbols of the Ynglist Church, but actually they are not in the same series. Some of them are listed in Kushnir (2014), which I added just for reference.--Eckhardt Etheling (talk) 15:49, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Images by Marek Hapon
Illustrations in Wikipedia must come from respectable sources. Either they are faithfully depict the subject or they are works of art by famous artists. Marek Hapon is a nobody, and Wikipedia should not promote his visions in numerous articles. Staszek Lem (talk) 22:32, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

neopagan groups
About the Semitic neopaganism page. This page is about modern day groups that have neo-pagan beliefs, and are open about it (for instance, openly discussing their beliefs and the gods they pray to by printing prayerbooks, siddurs, discussing them on websites and in interviews.) You apparently think they are Orthodox Jews or something, but they simply are not. They offer prayers to Anat, Asherah, Lilith, and other deities. I do understand that you want Kohenet to be perhaps Orthodox or Conservative Jews, but they simply aren't. You need to read their own words, their own descriptions. Please see:

Disruptive edits in Religion in Russia
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you.
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please refrain from reverting contributions without giving an explanation of the edit, as you did three times in Religion in Russia. I had removed the line chart and the chronological stats section because it includes only surveys who were written by a now banned user who was found to be a sockpuppet and pushed his not neutral point of views in his contributions. There are a lot of sources in the article who show significantly different data which can't be ignored. Please give me here the reason of the reverts, otherwise I will consider asking the Administrators to resolve the matter. FrankCesco26 (talk) 12:33, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

How is it not a blog?
Can you explain why a random wordpress blog is *not* a blog? ShimonChai (talk) 08:32, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Festival of Veles


The article Festival of Veles has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "This minor religious observation does not appear to be notable. Source cited is unreliable (self-published by minor Polish religious congregation related to the Slavic Native Faith which invented this festival). Search for Polish sources yields nothing except blogs and related low quality websites all linked to this religious movement."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

We do not illustrate Wikipedia with arbitrary paintings of arbitrary artists. They contribute nothing to understanding of the subject, and only unduly promote these artists using Wikipedia. Staszek Lem (talk) 21:16, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Feminist Judaism
Huh? "Feminist judaism isn't neopaganism" What are you talking about? You keep reverting my edits to the neopaganism article, but you misunderstand me. My own community is feminist Judaism. Who told you that we are against feminist Judaism? That person is lying to you. I never wrote or edited anything like that. I am writing about something entirely different - people who left the Jewish faith, and who openly admit to worshipping pagan gods. That is neither feminism nor Judaism.

Orphaned non-free image File:City of Kraków logo (2017).png
Thanks for uploading File:City of Kraków logo (2017).png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:11, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
