Mea culpa. Lfh (talk) 16:58, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

No problem. Could you check the stress at Saarbrücken too? It was placed on two syllables, so I removed the second, but maybe I should have removed the first. Lfh (talk) 17:38, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Expulsion of Germans after World War II

I have soft-protected Expulsion of Germans after World War II to allow for more discussion on the talk page before further large changes are made to the article. This allows for established users to edit the page, but not anonymous IPs, so that this does not become an edit war. Cheers --BaronLarf 19:20, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Ok, why keep him there? The mention of the IHR stinks like a dead fish in the sun.--Woogie10w (talk) 23:05, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Note well my earlier comments The current article is poorly written and sorely needs a lot of cleanup work. Over the years this article has become a hodgepodge of edits by editors who acted in good faith but unfortunately lack historical expertise. Overall my POV is sympathetic to the plight of the German civilian population who became the victims of the expulsions. The historical facts need to be narrated in a credible scholarly article rather than the current disjointed, poorly written mess that exists at this time--Woogie10w (talk) 23:08, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

History of Poland

There are missing references because I haven't finished this big "Decline of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth" section yet. I get most of the development from the "Historia Polski 1505-1764" book by Gierowski, it's listed there, an old Jagiellonian University text. Then I check some other sources, add information, do references. This process is basically complete as far as I'm concerned up to the "Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth" portion, so any corrections, additions, additional references would be best to put into this "finished" part. This current "Decline" part it is probably best to leave till I'm done with it. Other that that I appreciate contributions and involvement. For example I rarely add internet references, which I suppose should become increasingly available as the network encompasses more and more things. Thank for your interest and constructive input.

Poznań

Hi Skapperod, I would appreciate if you would stop POV pushing on Polish cities. Thank you.  Dr. Loosmark  22:38, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

?Skäpperöd (talk) 22:39, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

You know very well what I mean. I request you give us a quote of the relevant text from the source on the article's talk page.  Dr. Loosmark  00:09, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

[3] Skäpperöd (talk) 07:13, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

How does "Also in Poland and Bohemia were the burghers in the towns initially primarily of German origin" support your claim that the "German settlers constituted the majority in Polish towns of that time"!? Please remove your nonsensical claim.  Dr. Loosmark  12:07, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Maybe my translation is slightly ambiguous (though I don't think so), but I had also quoted the original. "Überwiegend", which I translated as "primarily", means primarily in the sense of constituting a majority, but "primarily of German origin" and "German majority" are imho redundant anyways. Please also avoid aggressive terms like "POV pushing" and "nonsensical claim" when talking to me. Skäpperöd (talk) 17:11, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Initially (soon after the Mongol invasion - at a single point in time) primarily of German origin is quite different from "constituted a majority of Polish towns at that time". Please stop pushing your POV.  Dr. Loosmark  18:33, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

No, "initially" refers to the Ostsiedlung = founding period of these towns, I wonder why you associate the Mongols with that quote? Sure that was the same time period, and there was a feedback-loop on Ostsiedlung, but that was primarily in Lesser Poland and Silesia. Anyhow, the paragraph from which the quote is derived does not mention the Mongols, it deals exclusively with the founding of towns during the Ostsiedlung. I am sorry to see that you won't tone down your aggressive language. Skäpperöd (talk) 18:53, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Two things 1) These towns = which towns? 2) What exactly is meant by "founding period"? I hope you are not claiming that these towns had a German majority at the time where they were founded. PS please don't make bogus accusations of aggressive language.  Dr. Loosmark  10:16, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Skäpperöd. I see you noticed my decline of your speedy tagging on RSOE EDIS - I would have notified you but you got there first.

Hi there. Over the past weeks I majorly expanded the article on German-Japanese relations and really need people to go scan my contributions.

• I have never seen, heard of, or imagined this before. Thanks very much for bringing this article to Wikipedia! --Griseum (talk) 15:43, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

You are welcome. Allegories of Europe are not well covered on wikipedia yet, except for the Greek myth (but not its Early Modern adaptations, as far as I am aware). If you are interested, take a look at this map, where Europa regina actually left the map and becomes pure allegory, as an Europa triumphans. Best Skäpperöd (talk) 16:35, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
