Bohdanov article

Greetings,

Just wonder what make You people so upset that You want to delate my article!? :)

Its kind of funny here. I just started to write articles and specially with the last one on Chickens, posted few lines and then when i come back i see the discussion. There are some people that cannot find sources on google and they make some comments that follows. In my opinion, those comments are on similar level that my knowledge in creating articles on Wiki is.

So I make my own comment to show those people the links. Then i see that the discussion continue so I improved this page a lot to hopefully end it all when i see You comment that You still want to delate that page! And this makes me wonder here! What wrong did I or my page to You so You want to delate it!?

I have certain picture of why i want to write such article, do You know at all why You want to deleate it? It would be very interesting for me to know and to learn the Wiki policy about creating articles! Cause all You do is following the policy? Creating creative comments?

Im very open for suggestions so...if You please read the article again (since im not sure You read the article before posting Your last comment), then tell me exactly why and on what ground You want to delaete this page! As for incubition, I dont know what that is...

Incubation is moving the article to either your "userspace", an area similar to your User Page User:Camdan, or to a place where other editors can help you work on the page. Read this for more detailed information.

None of this is personal regarding you or the article you created. I see now that 5 hours ago you added a lot of new content. Before then the article was two lines. We have criteria for article inclusion here. This helps the encyclopedia focus on topics that are proper encyclopedia topics, and also helps ensure its accuracy. There are dozens, sometimes hundreds, of articles nominated each day. Take a look at WP:AfD. I am simply commenting on this article. I did spend more than a normal amount of time looking up sources and adding a detailed explanation about your article on the discussion page too.

I hope that answer helps. Shadowjams (talk) 22:36, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank You for taking time to answer this, its very kind of You!

I do understand that there are more important matters in life than checking up links I past but I also explained that I just put those 2 lines to start the article and gave You the links so You dont think that i make it all up and that there will be more information placed in the article. Im not familiar with the Wiki proceedure or how to do those article, i simply copy how other people do so it will take tiem for me to learn it all.

I study polish history since 1986 and and past years do lot of reearches but I must say that i sometimes wish that I was studying something more easy since the sources often contains wrong information and you have to dig into the archives to find out more. I also have normal life, work and kids so I simply dont have time sometimes to follow up. I would rather work on my article in my own speed rather than to squeeze the time and write comments right now.

Dont know if the article regarding Bohdanow give so much alone but together with other future articles it would form an interesting part. The work of Aftanzy (to with I refer) and his volumes is epic. Knowing how difficult there is to find proper sources on this matter, I would say that he made one of the most impressive books containing 11 huge volumes I ever seen. This is part of European history and there should be a place such information here on Wiki.

I hope that my contribution on Bohdanow I made today will be enough to end this deleting discussion so we can spend our time on other subjects. I do appriciate any comments that can improve my articles!

Thank You!

Thank You for Your kind help on the Bohdanow article sorting it all up in proper way! I really appriciate that! :)

All the best, Camdan (talk) 23:29, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

No problem.

You should probably track down the copyright information on that image soon too, because images that don't have copyright explanations are removed after a while if they can't be proven to be licensed.

Keep up the good work. Shadowjams (talk) 00:12, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank You! I now use similar structure in my other article so I copy Your fine work.

I dont know if there is any copyright since its a photo of the painting from the National Museum in Warsaw and there are lot of postcards of the painitng. I downloaded it to my computer and then past it on Wiki. I dont that there is any force that could forbid me in using this picutre.

What would You suggest I should do?

Camdan (talk) 00:50, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm not the best person to ask about this because it's not an area I deal with very often. You can ask Wikipedia talk:Copyright problems for some help. From what I do know, if you can find out the date when the image was created that would be very helpful. Sometimes that might be enough. In other cases if you can find a government source that publishes the image that might work. Shadowjams (talk) 00:54, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

The bit I changed said APV. I've no idea what it means. The editor who keeps changing it back is a serial sockpuppet who has been vandalising beer articles for months.83.161.192.227 (talk) 17:23, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Ok, sorry for the trouble. I'm having trouble following the history on those pages... I think I got mixed up about when whatever got added. Shadowjams (talk) 21:25, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

I appreciate your "sticking up for me" as it were at the RfA, but it's clearly a lost cause. I'll let it run a while longer in case some more interesting posts arrive. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(^Õل^ō)ˀ Contribs. 17:38, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

No problem. I appreciate the work you've done, especially at WP:MOSDAB. Shadowjams (talk) 21:38, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Everton FC

Thanks for the revert I actually trying to revert myself as I make this edition by mistake (I actually work on the french counterpart article) but I was unable to complete it myself. So thanks for helping me. 78.233.16.132 (talk) 09:33, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Sure. I've removed my warning since this was an honest mistake. I normally would just RV something like that but I saw a few [bad] foreign language translation vandalism edits over the past few days. Happy editing. Shadowjams (talk) 09:35, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Looking forward to more contributions

I can see you contributed to "Contracts" article. If you have some spare time would you like to contribute to http://www.wikilawschool.org It is a non-profit law school study guide resource for law school students. Looking forward to your help! Thanks for kind consideration. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.202.38.234 (talk) 08:00, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Will do....

But with these Croatian nationalists, there is no room for rational talk. He will not respond, of course.

I have no opinion about the Eastern bloc naming issues that have been an issue for some time now. I'm willing to assume good faith for everybody, but I think that procedurally, this qualifies as a nearly epic revert war. I'm surprised nobody noticed sooner.
