Hello

Okay. B-Machine (talk) 17:38, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the help

Thanks for the quick instructions on how to edit Kruszwica's history section. I was reading that section and immediately recognized it as coming from Lewinski-Corwin's book, because I had literally started reading the book earlier in the day. I felt compelled to create a user account for the sole purpose inquiring on how to give credit to this book, but now that I have it will probably try to contribute here and there where I can.

I saw on your account profile you are from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and was pleased to see someone is working towards expanding English based pages detailing the region and it's history.

Thanks again.

1938 rename of East Prussian placenames

Hello Skäpperöd. Somebody suggested that 1938 rename of East Prussian placenames might be a good candidate for WP:DYK, but it's a little short at 1200 characters. Do you think you could expand the article a little bit to bring it to 1500 characters? Thank you. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 21:31, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

I added a short section on parallel renaming in Silesia. Perhaps the scope and title of the article is better changed to be more general than just East Prussia. BTW, the source I added also has information on the subsequent renaming by Polish authorities after the war which could be useful in the parallel article.radek (talk) 21:56, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Thank you Radeksz. It's long enough for DYK now. I suppose you should raise the question of scope and title on the article's Talk page. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 22:23, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I've nominated 1938 rename of East Prussian placenames, an article you worked on, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Wikipedia:Did you know. You can see the hook for the article here, where you can improve it if you see fit. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 22:32, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

that Wikipedia already had an article http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chy%C5%BCans&diff=next&oldid=374239532. However, when redirecting, can you please remember to carry over inter'wiki links and the like. Radek — Preceding unsigned comment added by Radeksz (talk • contribs)

Peace at fifty?

		The 50 DYK Creation and Expansion Medal
		Well I look back at your previous DYK entries and notice a fine balance between biographies, wars and treaties. I haven't added them up myself but I'm hoping there are more treaties than wars. On the other hand if there are more wars than treaties then ... could you fix the balance of the scores before you get to 100? More seriously - thanks from me and the wiki. Fifty is a real achievement. Well done. Victuallers (talk) 13:08, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Thank you very much - I think I wrote many more articles about treaties, but I haven't counted either. Much appreciated Skäpperöd (talk) 13:22, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

You can set the record straight. Go for it.

Skapperod you are there, what can you tell us about this surge of Neo-Nazi activity in your backyard?

NDR online is interesting, the world has gotten a lot smaller with the internet

BTW I am giving you an opening to point out that most people in Germany today condemn the Neo-Nazis. Too many people in here in the US believe that the Germans are still Nazis. You can set the record straight. Go for it.--Woogie10w (talk) 15:44, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

I wonder what record am I supposed to set straight??? You were asking about the "surge", and I am glad you moved the comment here because the article talk page is not suitable for that kind of conversation. First, it is not a surge, rather a small, but persistent annoyance. The neo Nazis here are a small, heterogeneous group. Part of them are violent, loud and seemingly disorganized (small local groups not subordinate to any larger association). The degree to which they actually are neo Nazis varies considerably, some are just using Nazi symbols to some extend but are not really involved with the ideology. Others are members of local NPD groups, who atm are trying to avoid violent acts of their members (with limited success) to present a more right-wing-populist and less Nazi-like image. Others are organized in small splinter parties who periodically get banned and altogether are insignificant and unknown. Politicians and NGOs of all coleurs have been trying to ban the NPD for years now, but the Verfassungsschutz had inadvertedly torpedoed the last ban initiative by infiltrating the NPD to such a degree that the case failed when brought before the supreme court (and only the court has the power to ban parties). The occasional rallies of the far right largely do not consist of local neo Nazis, but of participants who travel there from other parts of the state, and even that way they do not achieve significant levels of particpation. These people are usually escorted by the police from the trains or busses they arrive with, the police then herds them through the prepared route which is usually far away from main roads, take anyone into custody who shows any kind of illegal behavior (pretty much everything to do with Nazism is illegal in Germany), and then escorts them back to the train/bus station and disperse the group. The police is really doing a good job on this. That way, such rallies are barely noted and their impact is about zero. Maybe you understand better now why I do not want that these rallies get an attention here that's being successfully denied to them in RL. Skäpperöd (talk) 16:34, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

DYK for Mass suicide in Demmin

Hi Skäpperöd, Thanks for your message. It's nice that we were both correct and incorrect. Best wishes, Ericoides (talk) 18:41, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Demmin 1945

Thank you for taking the time to explain the background of the current events in MVP. I now have a better understanding of the political situation there and how it relates to Germany’s tragic past. One observation that I would like to make regarding the You-Tube clips of the marches in Demmin, in my opinion the young people in those public demonstrations may be the target of police surveillance. Based on my knowledge of Germany it could also have a negative impact on their careers.

Thank you again for taking time to answer my postings, wishing you all the best. Regards --Woogie10w (talk) 00:42, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

You are welcome. The young people are probably not target of surveillance, the ones with the ties - most definetely. Skäpperöd (talk) 17:38, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

I have no doubt that they are on Wikipedia also, anybody can edit.

I am not sure I understand what you want to tell me with that - I am aware of the above, but what is the subject you want to talk about? Their impact on wikipedia? From my experience, that is about zero. Skäpperöd (talk) 15:34, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

My point is that the article may attract police attention because the issue of May 8th 1945 is a hot potato in MVP (auf deutsch ein heisses Eisen). In my opinion it would be best to point out the NPD exploitation of the issue and the current efforts of the MVP government to combat Neo-Nazi activity in Demmin. --Woogie10w (talk) 19:50, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Second Northern War

Sounds ok. The chapter covers the time when Cossack Hetmanate was allowed to conduct an independent foreign policy trying to secure its brittle sovereignty, while being involved in what could have been an early partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Apparently there was a split in the Polish society at that time with possibly Poland becoming a protestant state. Russia sided with Poland, while it was contradicting the recent treaties with Zaporizhia. The single page that I mentioned is the first of that chapter which covers about three pages. A sort of similar situation situation took place in eastern Poland when the Swedish Karl XII "strolled" through the region. Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 20:49, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

"strolled" was a good one :) I modified the ref slightly, thanks Skäpperöd (talk) 22:10, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
