Reasons for my raising wikistress: Some general observations on Wikipedia governance being broken and good editors trampled by the system Wikipedia is a kawaii mistress :) I agree to the edit counter opt-in terms.

Do you have any concerns with what I have been doing? --DThomsen8 (talk) 23:58, 3 March 2011 (UTC) About adding citation needed at Pilsudski family This is not covered in WP policy, it's more of a good faith issue. WP is full of completely unreferenced articles. I reserve cn for statements that look surprisng to me and I always do some searches first and take the time to put in any refs I do find. I don't add cn until I've done some research; I see this as good editing practice (altho it's been years since I've added anything more than a topic sentence without a souce) because otherwise 90 percent of the project would be littered with such. We rely on editors to look at assertions and go 'yeah, sounds familiar'. Your addition of cn to Pilsudski family as Polish-Lithuanian doesn't fall into that category tho. There have been exhaustive discussions of this at the Josef Pilsudski talk page, and more recently, you edited and looked over the Polish-Lithuanian (adjective) article, so you were well aware of the references for it. You had several choices - leave it be as a widely acknowledged and easily found assertion; add the ref(s) at the Pilsudski article, the Polish-Lithuanian article, or the many Gbook sources; or put a cn in. The second choice would have improved WP, altho called for a few more seconds of effort than your cn choice did. Novickas (talk) 04:50, 5 March 2011 (UTC) As you well know, nationality claims for some people are the prime reason they operate around here. I find quarrels over them annoying, and the best way to stop them, to add a citation. In some tedious cases, I will slap a cn tag and let others fix the problem, while I do something strange like write a new DYK. You added the citation, article improved, everybody wins. I really don't see the problem here. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 05:32, 5 March 2011 (UTC) The problem here is that I see my time as valuable too. I would prefer to spend it just now on adding sources to unreferenced BLPs. I'm asking that when you see an assertion that you know is sourced, and where, that you either let it be or add the source yourself. Novickas (talk) 17:47, 5 March 2011 (UTC) I will often cite things myself, but sometimes I have no time or will to do so, and this is where cn comes in. If you think this template should not be used, than this is something for TfD. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 17:50, 5 March 2011 (UTC) Do you disagree with my proposal - that you refrain from adding cn when you personally are aware of sourcing for an assertion? Novickas (talk) 18:35, 5 March 2011 (UTC) Such proposal such be pursued at WP:V or another place. Till the policy is changed and bars editors from using {{cn}} I will follow my judgement based on time and will available for me on whether to add a reference myself or add a cite request. PS. I am aware that some editors are using literature to push some POV, but this doesn't mean I am as good in finding that literature as they are. And this is NOT an invitation to further pointless discussion. Once again, I strongly suggest you contribute to encyclopedia instead of my talk page. Thank you, --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 18:44, 5 March 2011 (UTC) Karl Marx, copyediting etc etc Of course, thanks for bringing this to my attention. :D (Midnightblueowl (talk) 19:19, 5 March 2011 (UTC)) No problems on the revert, I was just going by what I presumed from the Wheen biography, but I could easily have been mistaken.(Midnightblueowl (talk) 23:32, 5 March 2011 (UTC)) DYK for Commission for Polish Relief Orlady (talk) 02:03, 6 March 2011 (UTC) DYK for Paweł Jasienica —HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:04, 7 March 2011 (UTC) DYK nomination of Vorwärts!
