On 12 May, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Danzig Rebellion, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Gdansk rule

Bogislaw vs Bogusław, Stettin (Szczecin) vs Szczecin etc is an RFC I filed to avoid further edit and rv wars; maybe you know a board where I can draw some attention to this case... Skäpperöd (talk) 09:01, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Naming conflicts in regard to the history of Poland are a perennial pain in the Wikipedia. I had recently posted (again) to Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (geographic names)‎. Due to the persistence of a few people who specialise in this field, I'm afraid this is something which has to be discussed and enforced by ArbCom. -- Matthead  Discuß   11:26, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

East Prussian plebiscite

Dear Matthead,

maybe You are interested in the latest discussion at East Prussian plebiscite. Somebody added a map showing a Polish Majority in the area, which is obviously wrong (98 % voted German). Would be nice to get some assistance.

Best regards (HerkusMonte (talk) 16:43, 15 May 2008 (UTC))

Somebody added a map? The usual suspect, I'm afraid? I better get sunglasses to protect my eyes against the horrible composition of prime colors which is to be expected. -- Matthead  Discuß   21:48, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/M41A pulse rifle

Hello - seeing that you commented on this AfD, could I have you give it another look?

I have two main problems with the process in this case. First off, the nominator removed/redirected all the links to these articles in the AfD BEFORE the AfD was decided. I think this is problematic.

Secondly, he lumped all of them together in one AfD, even though many of the articles have quite a bit of content in them, which makes me feel this, again, is inappropriate. This also causes an associated problem, because I have now been doing quite a bit of work on Sulaco (spaceship) in response to noticing the AfD, and feel that it has enough references and shows enough notability to stand on its own.

So as above, could you be so kind and look at the discussion again? Ingolfson (talk) 12:13, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Körner

I seem to have missed the point of your page move on Körner. Could you elaborate? Agathoclea (talk) 15:47, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure you'll get the point now that I've saved the disamb for a couple of persons named Körner. I've never known that there is also a place named so. Moved it to Körner, Germany. -- Matthead  Discuß   15:53, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I guess I fixed the articles and links now. -- Matthead  Discuß   17:04, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
