Levy & Erlich[edit]

Hi .. can you please add a cite to your addition to the effect that each "is known as a fan of the soccer team Maccabi Haifa? Thank you.--Epeefleche (talk) 20:32, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect! Thank you. I fixed the format a bit, and filled out the title of one. Question -- can you help me if I need help on the article of an Israeli singer, and there are 2 or 3 sources in Hebrew (yours is clearly better than mine)?--Epeefleche (talk) 00:24, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No Problem!--Mikej007 (talk) 00:26, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I need your help in fixing the format of Benjamin Netanyahu and Ehud Olmert, I added their favorite football clubs too--Mikej007 (talk) 00:28, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem. Will take a look. Meanwhile, I'm referring to the 3 Hebrew sources at [1]--maybe you can help determine if there is info there that is helpful to the article, and if so insert it? I can help clean up format if it comes to that. I think that article may be close to FA status.--Epeefleche (talk) 00:52, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Great Article! I added things in David_D'Or#Heritage_and_early_life and I think it needs editing.--Mikej007 (talk) 01:12, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks ... I edited a bit, including tossing in the English translations of the two band names.--Epeefleche (talk) 03:58, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of Lithuanian Places in other languages[edit]

On the Yiddish names, it's harder for me to find the spellings in Hebrew - I might just give you the names as I find them and ask you to do the edits.radek (talk) 23:46, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. We should do the wiki links to it from the related articles.--Mikej007 (talk) 23:55, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of Poilish Places in other languages[edit]

Mike, Hi! I just took care of the Kroke article. Was hoping you could make sure that it's in order. Thanks. Dr. Dan (talk) 01:48, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Very Good :)--Mikej007 (talk) 01:52, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
While we're at it, please help with the Łódź article. Seems there's no existent link anywhere to be found for the Yiddish name for this important and significantly Jewish city (over 50%?), in Poland, birthplace of dear Arthur Rubinstein (a favorite of mine). Can you find the time? Dr. Dan (talk) 02:19, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Dan! This is fantastic! We can actually work together! Thank you.--Jacurek (talk) 02:50, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Now that we have come to an agreement, please straighten out the Krakow situation. Either we place the material in the lead consistently or we place it down somewhere at the bottom of the article. And again, I need help with Łódź, can't find the Yiddish toponym in the names in other languages section. Dr. Dan (talk) 16:19, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It seems Kroke and Lodzsh are now straightened out. I'm having difficulties with Radom though. With 39% of the pre-war population to consider, it needs its Yiddish toponym put into the lead. Can you help with this one? Dr. Dan (talk) 02:50, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Got it. I think my next project will be to add Yiddish names to all the Polish, Lithuanian, Latvian, Belarusian, Ukrainian and Russian places that had significant Jewish populations. I think it will be fair and according to the new consenzus.--Mikej007 (talk) 03:28, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, don't forget Plock. A very beautiful town (maybe I say this because I had a love interest from Plock in my youth, but it's actually quite beautiful). Do some research on it and you will be surprised. Especially the interbellum period. Dr. Dan (talk) 03:35, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Got it. Fixed Kaunas, please check if it's according the consensus.--Mikej007 (talk) 03:44, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looks alright. What's up with Warsaw? Is "Варшава" going to upset the applecart? Russian names in Polish topics are just as relevant as Polish names in Lithuanian ones. And your work with Radom and Plock is appropriate. For the consensus to hold, I should think a two-way street, rather than a one-way street, should be implemented. Obviously Poles are very sensitive to this do to heavy earlier Russification (and other historical matters) as to how they view Russia. I think Prime minister Shamir analyzed this rather succinctly, but even Radeksz and Jacurek have stated that "feelings" along these lines are not valid arguments and unimportant. If you agree, please correct the Warsaw article so that the consensus can be built upon. You have a much more neutral track record and would add more validity to re-editing it than I would. I'm not interested in starting a new edit war, just to have a balanced and consistent approach to the policy. Thanks in advance. Dr. Dan (talk) 21:53, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that this will remain a one way street. But at least you can begin to get a real feel for the "problem". Dr. Dan (talk) 18:08, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Mike,[edit]

Sorry for the late response, here is the link for the page to report disruptive Anon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Edit_warring If you have time of course because, it would be good to report him since this is a sock puppet of established editor.

Shalom Mike, Wow ! You act quicly! :)--Jacurek (talk) 17:13, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:Sammy ofer stadium.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Sammy ofer stadium.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 01:46, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just letting you know, you made an appreciated and appropriate edit at the article. Thanks. Dr. Dan (talk) 01:19, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tempest in a Teapot?[edit]

Concerning Vilnius, "also known by several other names" is applicable to hundreds, if not more, of cities with articles on Wikipedia. Are we splitting hairs here, or this there some unique purpose to your edit? Thought I'd ask you on your talk page rather than simply reverting your edit back to mine. Thanks, Dr. Dan (talk) 02:44, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is a fact that it is known by other names to English speakers. No need to change that.--Mikej007 (talk) 18:16, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
How do you view the comparable entry at the Warsaw article in relation to the matter? Dr. Dan (talk) 02:05, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't really care about it. Change ot and deal with the people that do care about it. The things aren't connected and I won't fall again to meaningless debates and questions. as for Vilnius, it is known by several other names to English readers.--Mikej007 (talk) 16:28, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

2010 World Snooker Championship[edit]

Please don't add mid-session scores. Armbrust Talk Contribs 14:38, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why is that? Should it be updated only once a day?--Mikej007 (talk) 18:04, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not once a day. But only after the session of the match ended. Armbrust Talk Contribs 18:08, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have raised some issues on the talk page of the 2010 World Snooker Championship article. As an editor who was recently involved in these issues you are invited to contribute your thoughts on that page [5]. Leaky Caldron 17:37, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article Names of Belarusian places in other languages has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Wikipedia is not a directory and not a dictionary. Those names should already be included in the articles or exist as redirects.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. De728631 (talk) 15:34, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Names of Lithuanian places in other languages is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Names of Lithuanian places in other languages until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. De728631 (talk) 15:43, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Linking[edit]

Hi Mike, thanks for your work. I notice you've linked a few months and years. Please note that since July 2009, chronological items are not normally linked on the English Wikipedia (except in articles such as actual year articles). Ask me questions about this if you wish.

WikiProject Poland Newsletter • January 2014 • Issue II[edit]

WikiProject Poland Newsletter • January 2014 • Issue II
For our freedom and yours

Welcome to the second issue of WikiProject Poland newsletter, the Monitor (named after the first Polish newspaper).

Our Project has been operational since 1 June, 2005, and also serves as the Poland-related Wikipedia notice board. I highly recommend watchlisting the Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland page, so you can be aware of the ongoing discussions. We hope you will join us in them, if you haven't done so already! Unlike many other WikiProjects, we are quite active; we get close to a hundred discussion threads each year and we do a pretty good job at answering all issues raised. Last year we were featured in the Signpost, and our interviewer was amazed at our activity. In the end, however, even as active as we are, we are just a tiny group - you can easily become one of our core members!

In addition to a lively encyclopedic, Poland-related, English-language discussion forum, we have numerous useful tools that can be of use to you - and that you could help us maintain and develop:

  • we have an active assessment department. As of now, our project has tagged almost 83,000 pages as Poland-related - that's an improvement of over 3,000 new pages since the last newsletter. Out of which 30 still need a quality assessment, and 2,000, importance assessment. We have done a lot to clear the backlog here (3 years ago those numbers were 1,500 and 20,000, respectively). Can you help assess a few pages?
    • assessing articles is as easy as filling in the class= and importance= parameters on the talk page in the {{WPPOLAND|class=|importance=}} template. See here for a how-to guide.
  • once an article has an assessment template, it will appear in our article alerts and news feed, which provides information on which Poland-related articles are considered for deletion, move, or are undergoing a Good or Featured review. Watchlisting that feed, in addition to watchlisting our project's main page, is a good way to make sure you stay up to date on most Poland-related discussions.
  • you can also see detailed deletion discussions at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Poland (which is a good place to watchlist if you just want to stay up to date on possible deletions of Poland-related content)
  • we have also begun B-class quality reviews on our talk page, and if our activity increases, hopefully we will be able to institute our own A-class quality reviews. As of now, we have about 500 C-class articles in need of a B-class review. If you'd like to help with them, instructions for doing B-class reviews are to be found in point 10 of our assessment FAQ. In addition to this automated list, you are also encouraged to help review articles from our B-class reviews requested list found here.
  • also, those articles will be included in our cleanup listing, which allows us to see which top-importance articles are in need for attention, and so on. We have tens of thousands articles in need of cleanup there, so if you ever need something to do, just look at this gigantic list. (I am currently reviewing the articles tagged with notability, either proving them notable or nominating for deletion; there are still several dozens left if you want to help!).
  • did you know that newly created Poland-related articles are listed here. They need to be reviewed, often cleaned-up, occasionally nominated for deletion, and their creators may need to be welcomed and invited to our project if they show promise as new authors of Poland-related content.
  • we are maintaining a Portal:Poland
  • automated Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland/Popular pages lists the most popular Poland-related pages from the previous month(s)
  • Breaking news: we are looking for a Wikipedian in Residence for the New York City area. See Wikipedia:GLAM/Józef Piłsudski Institute of America for details.

This is not all; on our page you can find a list of useful templates (including userboxes), awards and other tools!


With all that said, how about you join our discussions at WT:POLAND? Surely, there must be something you could help others with, or perhaps you are in need of assistance yourself?

It took me three years to finish this issue. Feel free to help out getting the next one before 2017 by being more active in WikiProject management :)
