Piotrus' to do list #1

So I am back, if in a limited fashion. Thanks to all who helped with that, and thanks to all who kept this project alive in the meantime. Over the next days I will be suggesting a bunch of edits here, for your consideration.

Task 1

Task 1: rescue useful images listed at the bottom of User talk:Witkacy (User_talk:Witkacy#File_source_problem_with_File:Roman_Sanguszko.jpg and below) and User talk:Emax (User_talk:Emax#File_source_problem_with_File:Kazimierz_Poniatowski_.281721-1800.29.jpg and below) by finding sources. A simple way of doing this is to use Google Images search, try to find a source, and then replace the no source template in the image with the link to the source. Please let me know who is willing to do take care of that. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 06:13, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

Comment: so... am I just creating a list of tasks for my self to do in x amount of time? Also, T:TDYK nominations are on timer, so if nobody is moving them, there is no point for me to come up with hooks here :( PS. Jniech - thanks for helping, I know you don't have much time, what you did is appreciated. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 02:21, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up with your suggestions, Piotrus, especially the DYK nominations. I'm afraid they're past the 5-day limit now. I'll stay on top of them in the future. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 18:16, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It has been my experience that DYK reviewrs are often lenient with the 5-day deadline. I'd suggest using the DYKs, just add a note for the DYK reviewer that they may be a bit older than usual - and let them decide if they are worth using. Thanks for the help, --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 18:41, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Done. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 18:57, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent. As you know, reward for a job well done is... :) Expect more stuff around Sunday! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 05:56, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • With respect to the DYK's, it has been 7 days since the articles were created. Last week, the "overdue" DYK I submitted was rejected. Do you think I should try again anyway?
  • I don't think File:Zygmunt Pulawski.jpg can be deleted until May 26. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 22:48, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • DYK - is exactly on the 7 day deadline, so I say yes, go for it.
Regarding the file, we can wait - but I don't think anybody but me has ever provided a source for Emax/Witkacy's images so... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 22:53, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The DYK deadline is 5 days, not 7, but I submitted it anyway. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 23:00, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ha, I always thought it was around 7. Anyway, as DYK does have a backlog (now, roughly 20 days) I tend to see adding things to the backlog as fine. That said, I may be wrong - I will raise this on DYK talk in the near future. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 23:18, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weekly analysis of Portal:Poland/New article announcements (batch: Aleksandra Stadniczenko started at 20:06, 17 May 2010 to European Paralympic Committees started at 18:09, 19 May 2010)

  1. Aleksandra Stadniczenko - Talk: {{WPBIO|class=Start|living=yes}} {{WikiProject Poland|class=Start|importance=Low}}
  2. all articles created by Starzynka need a WikiProject Poland project tag (stub) on their talk; here's a list:
  1. Jakub M. Godzimirski - as above, +{{Poland-academic-bio-stub}}

    Also, assess Talk:Law of Poland for WPLAW project as mid
    I hesitate to nominate this for DYK because of the glaring error in the first body paragraph. Polish constitution does indeed have a provision that protects the freedom of speech - Art. 54 ("The freedom to express opinions, to acquire and to disseminate information shall be ensured to everyone." and "Preventive censorship of the means of social communication and the licensing of the press shall be prohibited.", see [2]). This should be corrected in the article before it can be DYKed.

    This article is could be rewritten to DYK with a little effort (tone, needs few more refs for a good hook).
    Unfortunately, a large portion of the article was copied and pasted from another website.

General note: I am no longer looking at article about sportsmen, I consider the flood of footballer and like articles to be close to spam.

Also, a naming discussion may be appropriate to start at Talk:Casimir Zagourski (his Polish name is much more popular than the latinized one: [4] vs [5]. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 19:36, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kielce pogrom - correct error in the first sentence of last para in lead - it was "the deadliest pogrom against Polish Jews" (per the information in the table in Anti-Jewish_violence_in_Poland,_1944-1946#Number_of_victims, the source for the table should be added as a reference to the revised sentence).

  4. Topolski Century - {{UK-museum-stub}}

Sport articles: 2009 Polska Energia Open, Warsaw GAA, Grzegorz Panfil

Note: I left Michal Wisniowski under that name, because he uses the Latinized spelling on his website. Also, I tagged the article for refimprove rather than notability because it has two independent references. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 18:14, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Given that the subject himself uses the latinised spelling, shouldn't the article also use it? Varsovian (talk) 14:33, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure if this is his official name, art name, or a westernized simplification, and I am not sure what are our policies on using artistic names in article titles. But, frankly, I don't care much (and I still think he may not pass WP:N). What has he done that makes him notable, again? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 15:15, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  8. Robin Hood - czwarta strzała - unreferenced, notability, Poland-stub... I am not sure what type of performance it is (play?). Uncategorized, but I am not sure what besides 1997 establishments is applicable.

  10. Republic of Ostrów - WP:MILHIST, this should be expanded so it could be dyked...

    I see it was expanded. Need to remove the stub template, and DYK. Suggested hook (but I see Radeksz is expanding it so he may want to suggest a different one if he is going to nom it - please notify him of my suggestion): {{subst:NewDYKnom | article=Republic of Ostrów| hook=... that '''[[Republic of Ostrów]]''' was a short-lived state created in the [[aftermath of Word War I]]? | status=new | author1=Loosmark| author2=Radeksz| nominator=Piotrus}}

  2. Zygmunt Miłoszewski - talk: Poland
  3. Starzynka has now started stubbing Polish museums. They need stub assessments at talk: Palace Museum in Wilanów, Museum of Independence, Museum of Literature, Warsaw (add Category:Polish literature), Muzeum Kolekcji Jana Pawła II w Warszawie (add Category:Pope John Paul II), Muzeum Historyczne m.st. Warszawy (add Cat:History of Warsaw), Muzeum Historii Polskiego Ruchu Ludowego, Muzeum Fryderyka Chopina w Warszawie (too much of my surprise, I realized there is no Category:Frédéric Chopin - it needs to be created, based on categories in the main article; subcategories: Category:Compositions by Frédéric Chopin), X Pawilon Cytadeli Warszawskiej, Muzeum Farmacji im.

Oh, I also wonder if most of those should not be translated into English (name-wise). One could also ask her again to tag and assess her creations herself...
  4. Nikodem Poplawski - notability or prod (2nd opinion would be nice), further the cats probaby need Polish-American
    Poplawski may be notable for writing a scientific paper that has generated some articles in the popular press, but it sounds like a fringe theory. I'll tag it for notability rather than PROD it. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 03:50, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  4. New Shantipur Temple in Czarnów - start, barely. Tell the author (User talk:SETI3) that with a slight expansion he could nominate this for T:TDYK
  5. New Ramana Reti Temple in Mysiadło - seems stub like
  6. New Navadvip Temple in Wrocław - also a stub
  7. Museum of the Puck Region - Poland-museum-stub, talk: Poland and museum projects, low, stub. Author ([[User talk:Ciacho5]) should be invited to our project
  8. Jewish Community of Danzig - needs a pl interwiki (Historia Żydów w Gdańsku). Update Gdańsk category to History of Gdańsk category, add Category:Jewish Polish history. Needs renaming: uncontroversial decapitalizing of Community; I am not sure whether Danzig or Gdansk is more appropriate, as the community ended with WWII (but begun during the Slavic times). Perhaps a discussion on this might be helpful. Now that the article has a section on the modern community, it seems clear to me that it should be moved to Gdańsk. Malik, what do you think?
    I just read Talk:Gdansk/Vote, and I'm not sure. Since most of the Jewish community's history was between 1308 and 1945, should the article be named Danzig? Or should it be named Gdańsk because there were Jews in the city before 1308 and after 1945? I don't have any experience with the Gdańsk/Danzig issue. Should we list it at WP:RM? — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 18:48, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Frankly, I was never that deeply involved with the Gdańsk vote, but my understanding is that length of time is not the factor; rather, is the article describing something historical that is 1) Danzig- or 2) Gdańsk- only, or a 3) process that is spanning them? In 1) and 2), use the according name. In 3), use modern one, just as Gdańsk is at Gdańsk, not Danzig (ditto for History of Gdańsk, which is not at History of Danzig. I think that those two long-estabilished examples make it clear how the rule works, but if more is needed, just look at Category:Gdańsk and note all "of Gdańsk" examples (and the near lack of any "of Danzig" ones). PS. Could you fix redirects Mayor of Gdansk, Mayor of Gdańsk and Mayors of Gdańsk to point to List of mayors of Gdańsk? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 19:25, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  9. Franciszek Indan Pykna - needs copyediting (or copyedit tag). Talk: Poland start low template, BLP living no. Categories: 1913 births, 1989 deaths, Polish mathematician, Polish philosophers. Please inform the author (User talk:ULVINNE) that when he creates articles, he should add categories, inline links, footnotes, and that if he does that and writes substantial articles like that one, he may nom them for DYKs.
  10. Open-air Museum of the Łódź Wooden Architecture - too many pictures, need to be trimmed. Talk: Poland, museum, start, low. Please tell the author (User talk:Cmw2010) that with inline cites it could be DYKable

Seems DYKable: {{subst:NewDYKnom | article=Ivan Ziatyk| hook=... that in Ukrainian priest '''[[Ivan Ziatyk]]''' was persecuted by the [[Soviet] government for "spreading the Catholic Faith"? | status=new | author=Albanman| nominator=Piotrus}}
  12. Alojzy Adamczyk - needs categories and talk project templates, I'd also appreciate your thoughts on notability
    Probably not notable, although receiving honorary decorations might make him notable. Most of the Google books/news hits I found under that name were for a labor leader, probably not the same person. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 19:28, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  13. Night of museums and galleries - Plovdiv - needs a new name, copyedit, uncategorized
  14. Szacunek Ludzi Ulicy - uh, machine translation? Either tag it with a bunch of things or consider prodding that mess
  15. Abraham Boyarsky - bio-stub
  16. Ratusha, Ivano-Frankivsk - talk: Ukrainian wikiproject, architecture as well. Seems DYKable, but I cannot think of a hook, also needs some language copyedit, inline cites - perhaps notify the author (User talk:Aleksandr Grigoryev) of that.

  1. Confederation of the Polish Nobility - Cat:Organizations estabilished in 1994, talk: Poland project, mid, low. Inform the creator (User talk:Hroobjartr) that this and similar articles could be eligible for DYK if they had inline citations
  2. Monument to fallen for Těšín Silesia - talk: Czech wikiproject, inform the author (User talk:Vangabond) that this article could be eligible for DYK
  3. Sophie Moss - notability?
  4. Omni-mediatress of All Glories basilica (Niepokalanów) - rename (Basilica of Omni-mediatress of All Glories?); talk: Poland, christianity projects (start, low). Move some categories between that article (about a church) and Niepokalanów (monastery). Inform the author (User talk:Fczarnowski) that with some inline cites, this article would be eligible for a DYK and invite him to the project
  5. Gompa Drophan Ling in Darnków - start, talk: Poland, buddhism; inform the author (User talk:SETI3) that with some inline cites the article could be DYKable
  6. Teodor Talowski - needs copyediting, Poland and BLP project tags, inform the author (User talk:PawkaLukasz) that with some c/e and expansion/inline cites, it would be eligible for DYKing
  7. Andrzej Friszke - inform User talk:Darwinek that with just a little more expansion, this would be DYKable
  8. Szymon Rudnicki - as above
  9. Adam Zygmunt Sapieha and Elżbieta Konstancja Potulicka - Poland-noble-stub, talk page BLP and Poland, notability?
  10. Władysław Leon Sapieha - this one seems notable, talk pages as above, inform the author (User talk:KEdE52) that with some expansion / inline cites this could be DYKed

  12. Baltic Days of Jewish Culture - Poland-stub, talk: Poland project, Jewish project?
  13. Michał Gryziński - is the word "controversial" in such a short (notability?) article justified?
  14. Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion#Template:Infobox_Polish_noble - two Poland-related templates for deletion, probably proper deletion
  15. Igloopol Dębica - Poland-sport-stub
  16. P.L. Shupyk National Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education - needs a copyedit, education and Ukrainian wikiprojects
  17. Jerzy Holzer - again, inform Darwnek that this is close to DYKable, as some other recent articles of his
  18. Neoclassical architecture in Poland - just stumbled upon this 4x expansion, needs Poland and architecture projects, -stub templates, a bunch of links should be added to notable buildings, architects and so on (remember: WP:RED says red links are ok, too) {{subst:NewDYKnom| article=Neoclassical architecture in Poland | hook=... that the center of the '''[[neoclassical architecture in Poland]]''' was in [[Warsaw]]? | status=expanded | author=BurgererSF | nominator=Piotrus }}, and inform the author (User talk:BurgererSF) that if he does expansions in the future, T:TDYK is that'a'way (and that expansions are hard to spot without self-reporting)

A suggestion

I am grateful to all of you who are helping out with this. I wonder if I may interest you in not only helping to carry out the tasks I've listed, but in preforming the analysis yourself? Having several people doing this would not only lessen my workload, but would help to avoid unfortunate situations like loosing over a quarter of NA reviews (as happened earlier this year) when I was not able to carry out those tasks.

To avoid double work, I'd suggest you list the articles you've reviewed and acted upon here in the format I am using; or even you could just list that you have reviewed the articles from x dated y to a dated b (like I always do in my task header). This would create less work for me, and add redundancy to the project. Anybody up for that? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 13:30, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism for reverting

names from 1938 part 2

user:HerkusMonte is once again pushing the names invented by Nazi Germany in 1938 into the lead of Polish villages' articles and seems he is also ready to edit war over it.  Dr. Loosmark  15:50, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Again, I don't see what your objection is. If you think the information should be somewhere other than the first sentence (because it certainly is information that ought to be in the article somewhere), then perhaps you could demonstrate with a sample article how you think it should look.--Kotniski (talk) 15:56, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
My objection is it's improper to have names invented in the Nazi era in the lead of the article, it's insulting.  Dr. Loosmark  16:05, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea whom it could conceivably insult (except the Nazis, as it shows them as would-be destroyers of the region's heritage). If not in the lead, then where and how? Can you demonstrate on one of the articles?--Kotniski (talk) 16:09, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed that this is highly inappropriate. All Polish locations had German names during Nazi period(for example Litzamnstadt for Łódż). First a request should be made for the source and the Nazi propaganda name moved from the lead to proper section. --MyMoloboaccount (talk) 16:13, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kotniski, I think I have already given an example the last time. Let me repeat it: in 1953 Katowice was renamed to Stalinogród, the name lasted till 1956. The Katowice article simply mentions it. It's similar with the 1938 Nazi German names, those weren't some historical German names which would deserve to be in the lead, it was used only from 1938 to 1944/45.  Dr. Loosmark  16:19, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I checked some Polish articles on those locations and they mention changing of the name in germanization campaign-something that HK avoids mentioning in his edits.--MyMoloboaccount (talk) 16:22, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
OK but Katowice is a fully-fledged article; the ones were talking about here are just stubs (which don't currently consist of much else except the lead). Can you show on Jeleniowo, for instance, how you think the German name information should be introduced into the article?--Kotniski (talk) 17:12, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Done. (There are million other ways to do it of course).  Dr. Loosmark  17:30, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ok it seems that Skaperrod opened a RfC here: Talk:Rumy‎.  Dr. Loosmark  17:11, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just as an example: In contemporary context the "Nazi names" are used in Poland too, all Polish sources, including the Rzeczpospolita[10], at Raid on Mittenheide use the post-1938 name "Mittenheide" instead of "Turoscheln" or modern Turośl. And mistakes like "Near the village of Turośl, Podlaskie Voivodeship they reached the Prussian border" [11] only happen because the author didn't know about the renaming of 1938. HerkusMonte (talk) 09:00, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There is a bit difference between a name of a village and a military operation.  Dr. Loosmark  11:16, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I know the Nazi names aren't legal in Poland and they are "insulting" for many Poles. Possible ignorance of one Polish journalist doesn't prove anything. Opole region gminas use historical German names, not the Nazi ones. Xx236 (talk) 07:41, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
pl:Rumy (and several other articles) provides "illegal" information ? HerkusMonte (talk) 06:26, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Mentioning current polish law is completely nonsense (And as far as I know, it's just not allowed to introduce them again, and nobody plans to introduce them :-o ), along the way the whole discussion is nonsense. Current law will not change historical facts and will not change names used from 1933 to 1945 in Germany post scriptum / retrospectively / after the fact. --Jonny84 (talk) 09:35, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Nobody said that the law wants to retrospectively change the names, claiming that would be stupid. The problem at hand here is simply that those Nazi names have to be put in their proper context. The pl:Rumy article does that in a correct way while on the other hand putting those names in the lead giving the impression those are some sort of legitimate alternative names is a definite no no.  Dr. Loosmark  15:48, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
So why Xx236 mentioned it, without any connection? About Rumy: It's embarrassing that the other german name Rummy don't appear a bit, especially after all these references. Beyond that people could believe this place was polish before 1945, no word about it that this place was in Germany. Besides calling this names "Nazi names" is simply POV - We also do not call the polish names introduced in the years of 1945 to 1989 by communist Poland "Communist names". About using of the names in the lead: User HerkusMonte included them with the years of use. He didn't let space for wrong impressions. In my mind this way isn't a problem. --Jonny84 (talk) 10:49, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Xx236 did not mention it without any connection, using a Nazi name for a Polish village can very well be illegal in Poland in some situations. Calling this(sic) names "Nazi names" is not POV at all, those names were indeed invented by the Nazis to make them sound more German. Finally I can't believe you compare the Nazi Third Reich with Poland from 1945 to 1989, seriously have smoked something or what? And yes user:HerkusMonte did the include the years of use but failed to explain those were Nazi invented names.  Dr. Loosmark  16:02, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Once again: Current polish law will not change or delete history and facts. Maybe you shouldn't smoke too much and read accurate, 'cause "I" didn't make such comparisons. But besides there are some analogies: Communists invented polish names to make the place names sound polish and to hide the german history of these places. --Jonny84 (talk) 16:29, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Telling editors stuff like "Maybe you shouldn't smoke too much" is a personal attack (WP:NPA). In fact you should remove it yourself.radek (talk) 02:04, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Changing history and facts? What are you talking about? Nobody wants to change history, let alone Poland or its laws, the memory of the Nazis' folly has to be preserved for the next generations. The question here is only how to represent the Nazi invented Germanized names - the lead is not the place for it. After all this is Wikipedia not Nazipedia.  Dr. Loosmark  17:17, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

SS Jedność

I created an article on SS Jedność today. A Yahoo search for "Jedność" and "Polskie Linie Oceaniczne" turns up several potential sources. Are there any editors who are able to expand the article if any of those sources are useable? Mjroots (talk) 07:21, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well done. Needs a Poland WikiProject tags, and assessments as start mid or low. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 09:30, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If this WP is interested in tagging Polish ship articles, they are in Category:Ships of Poland and subcats thereunder. Now, are any of those potential sources useable, and if so, would a Polish-reading editor please expand the article where possible. Mjroots (talk) 10:51, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I took a look and there is nothing usable in those sources I am afraid.  Dr. Loosmark  16:43, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please review those (old) edits

I raised this before but got no comments, so here it comes again: some articles from Template:Administrative division of Poland were turned into redirects. Administrative division of Duchy of Warsaw was merged to Duchy of Warsaw; Administrative division of Congress Poland was merged partially into Congress Poland and partially into Privislinsky Krai (which was then deleted and redirected to Vistula Land, with part of the merged content lost). I suggest fixing this mess by restoring both "administrative..." articles, and summarizing/moving parts of Duchy of Warsaw and Congress Poland articles back to them. Similarly, some articles on notable institutions were redirected: Namiestnik of the Kingdom of Poland (again, part was merged to deleted PK article), Administrative Council (this one by Malik). Those articles have full-blown pl wiki articles, too: pl:Namiestnicy Królestwa Polskiego, pl:Rada Administracyjna. Please note that each of those articles had a number of associated redirects that, if the merger is reverted, need to be retargeted as well. I think those article were notable stubs with potential for proper expansion. Thoughts? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 16:26, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just FYI

I have cleaned up the Powązki Cemetery article. Previously it totally messed up the Old Powązki with the Military Powązki, which are two different cemeteries, though located close to each other. The Powązki Military Cemetery has been created as a separate article.

Lithuanian problem editors

I'm fed up arguing with them, but there are some editors on Lithuanian articles (such as Seredžius) starting again to actively remove information about Polish names for Lithuanian places - if anyone cares about preserving this information, they might like to keep an eye out.--Kotniski (talk) 17:15, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately their behaviour is unprecedented on the whole WP. Nobody guards the "purity" of own town articles like them. It is silly, since no respectable Polish editors had any problem with Lithuanian names for places like Sejny. - Darwinek (talk) 19:34, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
What else is new? This has been going on for years and nobody has done anything about it, even though it's a blatant nationalistic disregard of Wikipedia policy.radek (talk) 02:04, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Removing foreign language names for places sharing a history is a “blatant nationalistic disregard of Wikipedia policy” ?[12] [13][14]Oh, really? HerkusMonte (talk) 09:29, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This is a different case (and regardless, these aren't my edits) since you're talking about names that were made by the Nazis, not legitimate German names. The situation is rather analogous to continuously removing "Breslau" or "Danzig" and similar, from articles on Wroclaw and Gdansk, etc. So you're comparing apples and oranges (and did I mention those aren't my edits?)radek (talk) 07:55, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Any comparison witz Gdańsk is incorrect, because of Talk:Gdansk/Vote. The name Vilnius is used as the only one in the text, because "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others". "The city was first mentioned in written sources in 1323" - but what was the name of it? Letters of Gediminas are avialble in Lithuanian translation.Xx236 (talk) 13:16, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If you had followed the links above you would have realized that these names were not "made by the Nazis" and if you had adressed your view of editors who revert foreign names to User:Loosmark, the discussion here would be more credible. HerkusMonte (talk) 08:06, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And your claims would be more credible if at any point in time you have had something to say about the broad situation - particularly in regard to the subject that this section is about. (Some) German editors think that "Poles are nationalistic" because we don't want the articles on current Polish cities under German names, though mostly no Polish editor has any problems with having German names (or Lithuanian for that matter) in the articles themselves where such is appropriate (and I'm not sure that's sticking it into every small village in Poland is appropriate). And then Lithuanian editors pretend that "Poles are nationalistic" because Polish editors would like the Polish name to exist somewhere, just anywhere, in the articles on currently Lithuanian places that have a significant connection with Polish history - and they rabidly remove any such traces. So the end result is a plethora of German names in Polish place articles, with (some) German editors still complaining about Polish editors, and virtually no Polish names in any Lithuanian articles, with Lithuanian editors still complaining about Polish editors. Looking at the narrow space between these two (mis)positions, I don't think it's the Polish editors who are being "nationalistic" here.radek (talk) 08:53, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And from what I can see, all three of the examples you give above still have the German names in them. So like Kotniski says, the problem has been resolved. This is a discussion about a problem that has not been resolved. For something like six years now.radek (talk) 09:02, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Most of Lithuanian cities do have name part, that does present names in four or more languages. It could be a solution, that would minimize the tension. As for problematic editors, one should not spill nats so easily, And the EE mailing list is still not forgotten. I do still remember what words User:Radeksz used to describe me. Let's leave it on his consciousness. Lokyz (talk) 12:13, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
How did I describe you? I can't remember. Probably as a Lithuanian nationalist or something. And hey, if you don't want to know what people really think of you, then you shouldn't be reading their private emails.radek (talk) 14:29, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Mailing list is not a private conversation, actually. I've already told you and the others - the name calling is on your consciousness.Lokyz (talk) 14:40, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It is if you're not invited. Which you weren't. And nationalism does appear to play a part in this blanket removal of Polish names from all Lithuanian articles; it's not exactly "name calling" if it's an accurate description.radek (talk) 14:42, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed. I do enjoy not being invited by people who do call names and violate multiple Wikipedia policies. And that was proven by Arbitration Committee. Consider this before going into another rant. And no, I'll not go into your baitingLokyz (talk) 14:58, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
What "minimize tension"? Per Wikipedia policies relevant names should be in the lead. Countless Polish cities and towns have for example German and in some cases Lithuanian or Ukrainian names in the lead. As is normal. If a Polish name in lead of the Lithuanian city cause you tension then that's your problem.  Dr. Loosmark  12:29, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
this is not nice to say the least, calling others nationalists creating WP:BATTLE - one should note, that no information was removed by me, it was added. Loosmark did remove the multi-confession and multi national part:)Lokyz (talk) 14:04, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I do not have problem. The section name states that there is a problem with Lithuanian editors. And it is your problem. Not Wikipedia's. How many times there attempts to block multiple Lithuanian editors, call names, and what is the outcome - eventually you've lost one of the biggest asset of WP:Poland - an admin, and most of the Polish tag team got banned, and you've still learned nothing. And there are still editors who frivolously go into calling other's nats. Pathetic.Lokyz (talk) 12:54, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Loosmark is right, WP policies are right - you are wrong. What is pathetic is your perseverance in blanking the articles about "Lithuanian" towns. Wikipedia is not an arena for double standards. Poles, Germans, Czech, Russians, Italians and others have not any structural problems with names in other languages. Only Lithuanians do, and for that you are destined to fall sooner or later. - Darwinek (talk) 13:10, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
:) I'll skip this proposition for WP:BATTLE. Although, I still want to ask: are you going for WP:POINT? My humble proposition would be to have a cup of tea. Have a good day.Lokyz (talk) 13:24, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Darwinek's "point" is simply that for some reason certain Lithuanian editors appear to believe that usual Wikipedia rules and policies don't apply to them or "their" articles. They completely ignore Wikipedia guidelines on naming, remove any trace of Polish names from Lithuanian articles, even when these have a connection to Polish history, and tag team revert (The combo is usually Dr. Dan, MK, Lokyz, then back to Dr. Dan; one of these times you guys should let Lokyz go first. Occasionally Novickas jumps in) to enforce their view which is contrary to Wikipedia's stated rules. This situation is unique to Lithuanian articles and editors (unlike Polish, German, Czech, Russian or Italian).radek (talk) 14:34, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do you find Hitlersee to be "legitimate name"? Xx236 (talk) 07:27, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Just to make it clear, I consider the removal of German names from Polish place articles to be just as much problematic editing behaviour as the removal of Polish names from Lithuanian articles - however I believe the former problem has been resolved (right?), with acceptance that such names should appear in the articles, though not always in the first sentence. In the Lithuanian case, however, the editors in question are not even prepared to compromise that far - they insist on the Polish names being expunged from the articles altogether.--Kotniski (talk) 08:26, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
We have tried doing something about it, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Lithuania/Conflict resolution for example. Unfortunately, such attempts failed repeatedly :( After all those years, I still have no idea how this conflict can be solved if only one side is willing to talk :( Nonetheless, I would still suggest trying that - there is no alternative, really.

Nearly all Polish county articles now have geographic coordinates. (See Środa Wielkopolska County for an example of a Polish county article correctly marked up with its geographical coordinates.) It would be really useful if the last few remaining Polish counties without coordinates could also have coordinates added:

As of today, the remaining 24 uncoded articles are:

Can anyone please help add coordinates to these articles? -- The Anome (talk) 09:33, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just add the coordinates from their respective administrative seat. - Darwinek (talk) 10:51, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Tadeusz Adamowski

This is a request for help and a suggestion to those interested in the Poland project. If you go to the entry on Tadeusz Adamowski and the Discussion of that entry, you will see that I have tried to add information to Adamowski's bio. There is quite a bit more information in the Polish-language WP, as well as in an even longer bio by the Polish Olympic Committee. See the links that I provide on the discussion page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Tadeusz_Adamowski

Unfortunately I cannot read Polish, so I cannot draw out some of the detailed bio information from those two sources. But as it happens I knew both Tad Adamowski and his sister Helenka Adamowska Pantaleoni (whose parents were members of the Adamowski Trio -- there should be a WP entry on the Trio but unfortunately there is not). I also have some information that has come through my extended family about Tad's serving in the Polish artillery after 1939, being captured by the Germans in WW II, escaping from the camp in Poland, and somehow getting himself to Italy, from where, while in hiding he managed to get a cryptic message back to his sister in New York. The cryptic message was an effort to tell his sister Helenka where he was located. Through her own connections, Helenka (whose own husband Guido Pantaleoni had volunteered for service in the OSS and was killed behind enemy lines in Sicily in 1943) found someone (actually it was my future father-in-law) who figured out the meaning of the cryptic message: that Tad was hiding in Naples. The OSS then found a way to rescue Tad from Naples, and he then returned to the United States. Now I doubt that much, if any, of this is in the bio, and to be frank, I cannot formally document the story except from the telling of my mother-in-law. But Tad deserves a more thoroughgoing bio in Wikipedia than he has now, and I am sure somebody connected with the Wikiproject Poland can find useful information in the sources that I have referred to. Thank you for your attention to this request.~Mack2~ (talk) 04:48, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) I can translate some of the info from Polish wiki and a cursory look on teh internets confirms the basic outlines of the story so I'll see what I can get. There also seems to be an interesting story here about how hockey came over to Eastern Europe and how come the Czechs are so damn good at it (apparently it came from Canada to Czechoslovakia and then spread, with help from Adamowski, to Poland). Thanks for bringing it up.radek (talk) 05:12, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much! My understanding of what happened after he was in the prison camp is vague. I wonder whether he was liberated from the camp by the Red Army, and then was trying to avoid the Soviets when he fled to Italy. I imagine one of his nephews (sons of Helenka) knows some of the details. BTW/ one of Helenka's granddaughters (and Tad's grandniece) is the actress Tea Leoni.~Mack2~ (talk) 07:05, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
More in this story including an old photo; can't read it well (I do know some Russian), but there's a bit at the end about how he got back to US (via Odessa? not sure this is actually true).http://dailysport.pl/index.php/2010/06/30/tadeusz-ralf-adamowski-%E2%80%93-pionier-hokeja-w-polsce/ ~Mack2~ (talk) 07:20, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
