User:Darwinek feel it is necessary to add the word "Nazi" three times to this article, despite the fact that this was a solely geographical entity (of Germany). I suppose one could, with the same logic, add the word "Stalinist" to all geographical entities in Poland and areas occupied/annexed by Poland after WWII as well?

The removal of Category:Geography of Germany is unacceptable. The use of Category:Cieszyn Silesia instead of Category:Silesia constitutes Polish nationalist POV pushing. As has been pointed out by other users[1], Landkreis Teschen and Cieszyn Silesia are two different things, and Landkreis Teschen covered areas not in Polish Cieszyn Silesia. The neutral and factually correct category is Category:Silesia. 158.143.166.124 (talk) 20:59, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have to agree here. I also changed the wikilink as the Polish town of Cieszyn is not identical with the historical town of Teschen, as Teschen was composed of todays Cieszy and Český Těšín. I also hope that the next time you will start discussions on the talk page earlier instead of engaging in a revert war. As an ip address against an established user one can only loose. Quite ironic given that the edit that harm the project most are usually from registered editors with a sneaky vandalism or POV or promotional agenda. At least the vandalism by anonymous editors is almost always quite obvious, and in fact I would prefer to see more of it here, as obvious vandalism in texts would make clear to the reader that wikipedia is not exactly a very reliable encyclopedia. 76.117.1.254 (talk) 16:38, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Again hard words, again balancing on the edge of WP:AGF, WP:NPA, WP:CIVIL etc. I kindly ask both non-registered IPs (please note almost same language of both) to refrain from use of such a language on Wikipedia. I will repeat myself but again, Landkreis Teschen was not a geographical entity, but an administrative entity, which makes it totally inappropriate to add it to "Geography of Germany" category which serves as a category for geographical features of modern Germany, not administrative divisions of Nazi Germany of 1939-1941. "Cieszyn Silesia", on the other hand is not a "Polish POV" term or something like that. Both IPs are not familiar with the subject, otherwise they would know that Cieszyn Silesia (in Deutsch "Teschener Schlesien") is a truly geographic entity with geographic borders dating back to Middle Ages. It is not Polish, nor Czech. Nowadays it is divided between the Czech Republic and Poland. It is totally redundant to maintain category "Silesia", as it refers to much broader region with no historical-geographical connection to Cieszyn. - Darwinek (talk) 13:47, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, you are really the last one here who should complain about WP:AGF, WP:NPA, WP:CIVIL given your hardball editing attacks here. But good to see that the block finally reminded you that even as an admin you do not have the right to engage in editing wars and have to discuss changes to the article. Although you are still not able to refrain from accussations. Well, at least your less than perfect English makes it clear that you are not the same editor as the Prokonsul. 76.117.1.254 (talk) 15:16, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]


I don't understand what the fuss is about. A proper link to Germany in 1939-1945 context is Nazi Germany. PS. This should be moved to Teschen (district), per our naming practice for landkreis. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 16:00, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Then move it, because I cannot move articles here. 76.117.1.254 (talk) 15:26, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
