Same question, asked again

(with only a small hope) - do you think the two images found here: [1] could be uploaded to Wikicommons/used in the Letzkau article? They both appear to be in the "author died more than 70 years ago" category though to really confirm that I'd need access to the two sources listed at the website.radek (talk) 16:24, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sociology of the Family Group 3

Hey Professor, We've created an outline on the talk page of the stay-at-home dad article, and will be making edits to the page in the upcoming days. Here is a like to the diff: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Stay-at-home_dad&diff=prev&oldid=302107286. Denastroje (talk) 20:50, 14 July 2009 (UTC)Denastroje[reply]

Pedros Cup

It's a Polish indoor athletics event, held twice a year. It's actually Pedro's Cup. See http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedro%27s_Cup. I'm not deprodding as finding sources in English is tough. Fences&Windows 01:36, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiproject question

Hi, I saw your comments but I'm just a little confused. could you explain what you mean by your second point- There are statements that miss inline citations; as a rule of thumb, every sentence should have its own citation (since others can later add things between your sentences and make it confusing to know what is sourced) - see WP:CITE I looked at the WP:CITE but I'm still confused. Could you point out an example of something that needs the inline citation. Would even something like this sentance need a citation? Some premature reborns come in incubators with a breathing apparatus attached to their nose. Because I thought things like this were just a fact and didn't need a citation. Also, Some of the things I read basically the same thing on multiple sources so I thought those would just be considered facts too. For example the fabrication process is basically a summary of things i read on many websites and books so its just combined and simplified basic info? Sorry for the confusion.--KayPet (talk) 04:12, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

UPA nad Massacres of Poles in Volhynia

Zwróć uwagę na te dwa tematy ukraińscy nacjonaliści zaczęli wycinkę tekstu i żonglują tekstem bez zwracania uwagi na źródła. Uwagi ode mnie nic nie pomogą, im się wydaje że znają historię.--Paweł5586 (talk) 07:09, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I nominated one of your images for deletion on commons

I wasn't sure how it met the PD-Russia criteria, and I think it needs more eyes. You may have uploaded it when the PD-Russia tag said something else. Please comment so it can be kept if possible. Calliopejen1 (talk) 17:06, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. --Cybercobra (talk) 22:50, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dupa biskupa i dawni Polacy

Co do dupy, nie znaleźliśmy na razie źródeł. W najlepszej PWN-owskiej encyklopedii gier hasło nie istnieje. Poszukam jeszcze w BUWie, gdzie szuka się fajnie, ale do narodowej nie pojdę, bo to jest skrajność, tej biblioteki się prawie nie da używać i zajęłoby to cały dzień. Natomias ntability nie ulega wątpliwości, więc hasło zostało.

Poważniejszym problemem są hasła Polish tribes i Lechites. To są strsasznie złe i śmieszne hasła, np. "Polsih tribes" klasyfikuje Warmiaków jako plemię polskie... Mazurzy nigdy żadnym plemienie nie byli... Borowiacy i Kociewiacy przecież też nie... Generalnie te hasła to horror, nic dziwnego, że konfudują. Na pl jest tylko odrobinę lepiej, czyli też bardzo źle. Laforgue (talk) 03:28, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reborn Edits

Thanks that helped a lot I tried to fix most of them like that, but my mouse ran out of batteries so I will fix it up more tomorrow. I'm just have re-find where I got some of the info which shouldn't be a problem. Some of the stuff though is my group mates and I duon't where their info is from from the links they put up so im going to email them to fix theirs. Then I'll get started on doing more of the redirect stuff. Thanks again. Any more tips is appreciated.--KayPet (talk) 03:39, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipediology

I just got your CITASA message about the Bangalore conference and am very much interested. I also have another colleague here at Northwestern who is doing some amazing research on multi/hyper-lingual Wikipedias. I should have made my introduction to you a while back, but I'm just now becoming seriously involved in Wikipedia research. Let me know where and how I can be of assistance either on or off-Wiki.

Armia Krajowa navbox

Have just composed the Armia Krajowa navbox, which is actually several nested navboxes, and applied it to a number of articles. Occurs to me that you might have some suggestions for improvement (note: I am not an expert on AK.) In particular, links to topics involving the postwar history of the AK and members are missing, this is a very tricky area, and I am not sure how to approach it. Also, links to articles dealing with the interaction with the Jewish resistance may need some treatment, again a very tricky area.Mtsmallwood (talk) 19:05, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Project (Sociology of the Family) Question

Hey professor, For some reason if I reuse a citation, it appears in the references more than once. What am I doing wrong? Let me know thanks! Denastroje (talk) 22:19, 19 July 2009 (UTC)Denastroje[reply]

Girlosophy

Yes I am very sorry about that. I have not been able to get to working on that article because I have really been trying to tidy up the reborn article from your suggestions for the 21st. Although I have had intentions to expand the girlosophy article much more the reborn article has been my priority, and the Girlosphy has been my wikipedia exploration project. I was sort of using it as experimentation for learning how to get info on the reborn article. I have been intending to restate the things I put on, and hope to fix it, if I have time between the reborn article. Thank you for informing me. --KayPet (talk) 02:49, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reply re circularity and plagiarism

Thanks for pointing me to the new discussions. But I probably won't engage there because IMO the issue at that particular article (Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth) is already covered by the current passage in WP:VERIFIABILITY stating that We should not source to material originating in WP, since it creates circularity. Verifiability is a core content policy and I don't suppose it changes much. With regard to whether the discovery at the PL-LT Comm article is a notable instance of plagiarism from WP by academics: since the cited website is a collection of papers written by students, and clearly published as such ([2], authors and tutors on page 10) - even tho the website was sponsored by an academic institution - I don't see it as notable occurence along those lines. Of course others may well disagree. Novickas (talk) 17:25, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

One question on Poland wikiproject

I read many articles about Poland recently and I see that there are many very interesting and very good. How many Poland related articles are featured? I also would like to translate some of them on Serbian language. I think that articles about Poland are the best about some Slavic people on English Wikipedia. Great job!--Vojvodae please be free to write :) 19:38, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reborn Article

Hey Prof, I had a couple questions about the article. I have been working vigorously on tidying up the article page and making sure just about everything is cited. Anything that's not is most likely from someone in my group and I have sent several emails asking them to fix this. I am also going to work on doing more of the internal links you suggested. I was wondering if you could take a look at the page and tell me if you have anymore suggestions? I was also wondering if the article had to be submitted for good article before class or if we could just do it sometime tom? I was hoping you might be able to show me real quick how this is done during break because I am slightly confused. Most of tonight I was hoping to dedicate to looking over my notes for the test, but I probably will try to work on the article a little more too before tomorrow, so any comments would be helpful. Thanks for your help --KayPet (talk) 22:47, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sociology WikiProject Group 6

Hi Piotr, I am not really sure what to do about our project. It is clearly nowhere near being finished. I do not mind working on it more, however I had an accident over the weekend and it is hard for me to work on the project at this time due to injury. Also, I will not be in class on Thursday because of this. I am not sure what to do, as it has been extremely difficult to even communicate with most of my group members as they rarely come to class and have limited access to their email. Let me know what I can do to try to remedy this situation. Thanks, Maggie
