[edit] The Wagner article is in need of some help

We're in a bit of a pickle in the Wagner discussion page. The issues concerns Social class (sociology) and the phrase supposedly common Germanic past and has now been dismissed by some editors as inconsequential.

At the end of the Wagner discussion page (under Edit War solution topic) there issome suggested courses of action that I was requested to list, from my point of view. Please help. Just take fast look. Thank you

In the introduction, removed as non consequential

  • In his own era he furthermore provided the newly emerged middle class with a medium to transfer its familial and political conflicts into a myth of supposedly common Germanic past.

In the Biography chapter removed as non consequential

  • Richard Wagner was born into a lower middle class family

[edit] Student asking for help

Hi, I am a student working on the Thomas Green Clemson Wikipedia page. I had just recently made a rather large edit for the current size of the page and was wondering if you had any feedback for me that would make my page better. My user page is User:Chewey93 so please contact me if you have any tips. Thank you.

[edit] Bias real or perceived?

Hello, I'm the anonymous editor that recently got involved in a coupe disputes regarding the editing style on a coupe of pages such as Haller's Blue Army and Poland Armed Forces. As a casual user of Wikipedia I was unsettled by editing which I consider as bias towards polish subject matter. When comparing pages on similar topics I noticed that the language used on pages related to a polish topics used much harder (judgmental) terms, and the phraseology used created a subtle, but clear bias towards Poles that presents them in a negative way.

One example was the recent Buckshot06 edits on Polish Armed Forces page, when I stumbled on this page there was only one picture in the "History" section, and it showed Polish soldiers in a diminutive way that only invited negative and stereoscopical perceptions. So, I added the current pictures which show the Polish military in a respectable, but neutral way. Now, user Buckshot06 is trying to remove them one at a time, by claiming that they have nothing to do with the text.

Another, editing issue that I'm involved in is that of American football coach Jerry Sandusky who was accused of child abuse. Sandusky himself is an American first... of mixed Polish and Irish descent. But, the page only mentioned his Polish roots omitting his Irish ancestry, and when his Irish ancestry was added, administrator Milowent was insistent on only highlighting Sandusky's Polish roots first, as if the man was 100% Polish. Please see the edits below to see how he keeps changing the page structure to highlight this, and in the most recent edit he locked the page despite the fact that no vandalism or edit warring took place.

1st edit: Sandusky was born in Washington, Pennsylvania, the only son of Evelyn Mae (née Lee) and Arthur Sandusky. His paternal grandparents were Polish immigrants and his mother came from a small coal-mining town.

2nd edit (neutral): Sandusky was born in Washington, Pennsylvania, the only son of Evelyn Mae (née Lee) an Irish Catholic homemaker who came from a small Pennsylvania coal-mining town, and Arthur Sandusky who's parents immigrated from Poland.

...and this is what the section was changed to (below). It seems strange how in this case someone wants too highlight the man's Polish root, even if it means that the structure of the text is moved in a incoherent way, since the earlier sections listed the mother first, than the father, and proceeded to list the father's accomplishments, Also, how many times is the editor going to try to use Poland or Polish in one sentence, it seems like he's trying to fill the page with this fact.

3rd edit: Sandusky was born in Washington, Pennsylvania, the only son of Arthur Sandusky, whose Polish parents had immigrated from Poland, and Evelyn Mae (née Lee) an Irish Catholic homemaker who came from a small Pennsylvania coal-mining town.

Now, since the page is locked, I'm not able to revert the changes, and I can't constantly argue with an administrator who clearly has more power to block IP's or lock pages. And, to prove my point of a bias, don't see any mention of Polish ancestry on pages related to other football players/coaches such as Mike Ditka, Don Majkowski, or Rob Gronkowski. Yet, in the case of child abuser Jerry Sandusky his polish background is highlighted and edited to maintain this bias. --76.118.227.161 (talk) 02:01, 4 December 2011

[edit] References

Nice work on the references at Public Domain Day, that's a cleaner method, uncluttered and easier to find refs within a text. I might start it as my default method. Of course it won't stop others from adding new refs inline, creating a sort of mixed bag, but hopefully perhaps over time this method will become a best practice site wide.

[edit] Wikimedia Research Newsletter

Hi Piotrus,

I know you have been well acquainted with academic research about Wikipedia for years. Any chance you could spend some time before tomorrow evening UTC to contribute something to the upcoming issue of the Wikimedia Research Newsletter? It just turns out that my co-editor Dario (WMF's research analyst) is unable to contribute this time due to travel and other obligations. I'm committed to getting this issue out as scheduled, but it might be a bare-boned version. Even a short summary (2-3 sentences) of a paper that interests you would be helpful. The draft page with a list of items that are intended be covered here and the coordination Etherpad (where one can sign up to cover a particular paper) is here. Thanks, and even if you can't find time on such short notice, your feedback and suggestions/contributions for future issues continue to be very welcome.

Regards, Tbayer (WMF) (talk) 13:50, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

This is great, thanks a lot already! More is welcome. Regards, Tbayer (WMF) (talk) 23:48, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] DYK for Abolition of serfdom in Poland

Updated DYK query On 30 January 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Abolition of serfdom in Poland, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the abolition of serfdom in Poland was spurred by unrest and uprisings such as the Kraków Uprising and the January Uprising? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Abolition of serfdom in Poland.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
