Needed help with Polish-Swedish War?

Hi, I answered a question for help with Swedish commanders about a week ago on the above article talk page. I have been doing a few other things, but I am now free to help out if you need anything. Just give me a list (post it here, I'll keep an eye open, a.k.a. adding this page to my watchlist) of Sweden-related things you need and I'll see what I can find. -- Elisson • Talk 20:41, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've answered you at my talk page. I'd like to keep a discussion in one place, makes it easier to follow for outsiders, or later on. -- Elisson • Talk 18:08, 20 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wegrzynowice

Hello again Piotrus -- just thought you might want to check out yet another article in Polish, en:Wegrzynowice, place of birth for en:Jan Chryzostom Pasek. Here is the full text [1] (the anon author blanked the article out just minutes after it's been tagged for translation! (If you aren't available for help with translations, not to bother you - perhaps you could name someone other who would?) Many thanks. - Introvert talk 01:16, 18 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks much for your help with translating, thanks for pointing me at the Eastern European Wikipedians notice board! Will do. See you there :) - Introvert talk 18:43, 18 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

War Cycles

Hi Piotrus, Thank you for your kind words, helpful suggestions (coding in HTML is real pain) and help with editing the War Cycles. I just finished reading Prus’ (1895) Pharaoh, a favorite of Joseph Stalin. Interesting reading. Best Wishes, David Cruise

Structural Differential

Hi Piotrus, Thank you for your vote of confidence. My personal sites are visualstatistics.net and vstat.net. The reason I posted the copyright violation for the semantic differential (which I wrote myself) was the vendetta by SimonP and few others (cf. vstat.net -> Visual Statistics Illustrated -> Censorship). At that point I wanted to dissociate myself from Wikipedia. Later, I decided to give it another try. By the way, my name is David Krus which was originally spelled with a small v above the s. Best Wishes, David

Hi Piotrus--Thanks for the note. I'll take a look tomorrow evening and see if there's anything I can contribute. I'll certainly add my vote to the nomination as well. My apologies for not contributing more to the process; have been unexpectedly busy this summer. All criticisms aside, it's a solid article and definitely worthy of a featured article status. Thanks for all your hard work. Cheers--Pariah 03:49, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

Silesia

Would you be knowing if there are any groups, organisations etc. that wish for independence / autonomy for Silesia? User:Nichalp/sg 09:16, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

Potsdam Declaration

Here some quotation from the "Official Gazette of the control council for Germany" (Documents relating to the establishment of the Allied Control Authority) - published by the "Allied Secretariat" in Berlin, Elssholzstrase 32.

Under item VI (Statement by the Governments of the United Kingdom, the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic and the Provisional Government of the French Republic on the zones of occupation in Germany) they write:

"1. Germany, within her frontiers as they were on 31st December, 1937, will, for purposes of occupation, be divided into four zones, one to be alloted to each Power as follows ..."

Under item VIII (Report on the Tripartite Conference of Berlin) and there Article IX concerning the western frontier of Poland they write:

"The three Heads of Government reaffirm their opinion that the final delimitation of the western frontier of Poland should await the peace settlement."

Until this peace conference the disputed territories "shall be under the administration of the Polish State and for such purposes should not be considered as part of the Soviet Zone of occupation in Germany."

In this way it´s obvious that the (West-) Allies didn´t order any transfer of Germans out of their ancestral homelands because by doing this they would have created a fait accompli.

Actually Russia and Poland created such accomplished facts by expelling most of that Germans - even quite long before the Potsdam Declaration.

(Comment: Any forced transfer of population is a crime against humanity; and this it was already at times of 1945 - Nazi-Germany was trialed exactly for such crimes, too.)

Reprivatization

I started a stub about reprivatization, and I thought that you might be able to contribute, being an MA in Econ from a country where some reprivatization is occuring. --Jpbrenna 21:40, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Pittsburgh project

Just noticed your mention of this - it's an excellent idea! I hope the program works out well - the potential for expanding this to other courses here and there is very promising. Best of luck! Shimgray 20:14, 29 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

PBW

Czołem! Na Talk:Kiev Offensive (1920) Irpen umieścił, skierowane do Ciebie, pytanie o ewentualne copyvio. Halibutt 01:47, August 30, 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Kiev_Offensive_(1920)#New_lead_vs_copyvio_old_text - cała sekcja o copyvio odnosi się do fragmentu z Twojej (pierwotnej) wersji artykułu. Co do mapek do Dymitriad - dopiero wczoraj wrócił do mnie odpowiednio mocny komputer, więc dopiero w najbliższym czasie będę mógł się za to zabrać... Pozdrawiam Halibutt 16:10, August 30, 2005 (UTC)

It is perfectly common and legitimate to delete talk that is pure ranting without any relevance to article improvement. Everyking 03:40, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Template talk:Infobox Biography

I'm having some issues on John Vanbrugh. People keep removing the infobox! I think it's quite useful as it does take some hunting to find information about birth places, birth dates and death dates/places in many of the articles. Could you comment on the talk page? - Ta bu shi da yu 02:53, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Belarus

In the lead, I have this: "Since independence, Belarus has been the focus of international attention due to the authoritarian leadership of President Alexander Lukashenko, who has ruled the country since 1994." While I know Poland and the US called him a dictator, I am not sure if this is trying to remain NPOV. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 02:47, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, I forget to mention the entire section, which I pasted it at the FAC page. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 02:54, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I only have one strong objection, mainly for grammar. The revert issue he talked about, I resolved it. Carnildo withdrew his objection since the images were taken care of. Zach (Sound Off) 05:38, 15 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Union of Poles in Belarus

I know they have been in the news, but I do not know much about the group at all or their goals. Can you and others who are good at Polish articles fix this up to be a non-stub? Zscout370 (Sound Off) 03:08, 10 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Kammerlader

Hi. I applogies for 'spamming' your talkpage like this, but some time ago you was helpfull with comments on one of 'my' other articles on old Norwegian rifles and I wondered if you might be interested in helping out peer reviewing the article on the Kammerlader. Thank you for your time. WegianWarrior 11:21, 12 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Culture of Poland

Hi Piotruś,

Just got your message about improving Template:Culture of Poland. Funny, I was thinking about doing just that. I was considering using an image of one of the Three Bards or Kochanowski or even Norwid, but I haven't found one on WP that I like. (I'm looking for something in color, easily identifiable, and preferably not a detail of a larger painting.) As for the layout, something along the lines of Template:History of Poland and Template:Polish statehood, but with a different color scheme. What do you think? Appleseed 22:16, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Order_Orla_Bialego2.jpg is a Polish decoration, but are they Public Domain under Polish law? Zach (Sound Off) 02:34, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Stańczyk

Piotruś, I noticed you changed the image in Template:History of Poland back to Stańczyk. Could you take a look at my comment in the talk page there? Appleseed 12:43, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Piotrus, thanks for your comments at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Popular culture studies. I've replied to your critique and was wondering whether you could look over it. I'd appreciate your thoughts. Many thanks. TreveXtalk 09:45, 26 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Kazimierz Wielki

W artykule o tym krolu jest wymieniony Kazimierz Pomorski. Niestety nie jest on wymieniony w spisie ksiazat pomorskich. Czy mozesz pomoc wzjasnic ta zagadke?

Dear Fvw, you seem to be a bit to eager in removing elinks. While I prefer that all elinks are moved out of the body and into the main, it is better to have some relevant in the text (as sources or examples) instead of none. 'Wikipedia is not a dictionary' policy was designed to avoid having articles which are nothing but a list of external links and nowhere does it state that external links themselves should be removed from articles. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 23:07, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
If they're links with informative content on the topic I quite agree. Bulletin boards and club pages without extra content aren't useful as an extension of the article however. Have a look at Wikipedia:External links. --fvw* 23:20, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Mapki

Oj niebardzo, niebardzo... Po pierwsze z czasem u mnie krucho, po drugie mój komputer nadal nie działa, więc nie mam dostępu do podstawowej mapki. Być może po wypłacie będzie mnie stać na nową matrycę lub chociaż jakiś stary monitor, ale na razie... Pozdrawiam - Halibutt 01:45, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sociology question

Mr. Piotrus,

I'm new to Wikipedia. Not sure if this is the correct place to contact you, but I'd like to know if the pages on sociology include noteworthy universities which feature esteemed professors of the subject. I'm interested in pursuing my extended education in this field but am unaware of the best universities for it.

Please advise.

Thank you for your thorough research and explanation of the field of sociology.

Wołodarka

Mam problem i nie do końca wiem jak go rozwiązać. Na temat wyniku Battle of Wołodarka dyskutowaliśmy z niejakim Irpenem przez miesiąc czy nawet więcej. Jego zdaniem najpierw była to bitwa nierozstrzygnięta (chodzi wyłącznie o opis w tabelce), następnie zamiast polskiego zwycięstwa powstał potworek w stylu "Rosjanom nie udało się osiągnąć zamierzonych celów" a na koniec wszystko zamieniło się w "Rosyjską przegraną". Mam wrażenie, że dla Irpena jakakolwiek wersja jest lepsza niż "Polskie zwycięstwo", co wydaje się najbardziej logiczne, i co zostało poparte przez jedyną osobe, która się zgłosiła po moim wszczęciu RfC i Third eye. No i teraz problemy:

  • Miesiąc temu obaj zostaliśmy poproszeni o podanie źródeł do swoich wersji. Ja podałem dwa. Z jednego (pamiętnik z epoki) wynika jasno polskie zwycięstwo. Drugie (monografia wyprawy kijowskiej Wyszczelskiego) wynika to samo, choć w tekście autor używa raczej sformułowań w stylu "rosyjska klęska" czy opisów w stylu "Polacy osiągnęli wszystkie zamierzone cele, podczas gdy Rosjanie żadnego". Natomiast Irpen, mimo moich ciągłych monitów, nie podał żadnego źródła, które poparło by którąkolwiek z jego wersji. Wychodzi na to, że była to głównie dyskusja między moimi źródłami, a jego nosem.
  • Ostatnio Irpen powtórzył, że wycofuje się z dyskusji. Uznałem, że skoro jedyny, który poddawał w wątpliwość trafność określeń użytych w artykule, wycofuje się z dyskusji i w dodatku nie może podać źródeł, to nie ma sensu trzymać taga "Disputed" na stronie artykułu. W końcu oznacza on, że na stronie dyskusji toczy się dysputa, a ta się właśnie zakończyła. Niestety, Irpen najwyraźniej uznał, że wprawdzie on nie poda żadnych źródeł na poparcie swej tezy ani nie wyjaśni swego stanowiska, ale może kiedyś zgłosi się ktoś, kto mógłby to zrobić, więc tag powinien zostać na miejscu do tego czasu. Ja wycinałem taga, on go wstawiał - i w końcu mamy artykuł zablokowany.

Czy masz jakiś pomysł co z tym zrobić? Halibutt 01:46, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No właśnie problem w tym, że Irpen jest cokolwiek impregnowany na moje prośby o argumenty. To dziwne, bo przy innych artykułach nigdy nie było problemów z dogadaniem się. Stąd z resztą moję wątpliwości czy to przypadkiem coś nie jest nie tak z moim rozumowaniem, że jeśli jedna strona nie osiągnęła nic a druga wszystko, to druga wygrała, a pierwsza przegrała. Problem w tym, że - dopóki jeszcze co jakiś czas uczestniczył w dyskusji - Irpen koncentrował się głównie na zbijaniu moich argumentów lub zbywaniu ich milczeniem, a nie na przedstawianiu własnych. Więc teraz w sumie nie wiem jak dalej prowadzić ten spór, skoro nie ma ani z kim, ani nawet źródeł do konfrontacji pod nieobecność Irpena.
A artykuł został zablokowany przez Carnildo, i w sumie trudno się dziwić, bośmy się z Irpenem nie mogli zgodzić co do tego, czy on nie zgadza się ze wszystkimi wersjami poza swoją, czy tylko z dwiema. Halibutt 15:06, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
