Main Page appearance: Tadeusz Kościuszko

This is a note to let the main editors of Tadeusz Kościuszko know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on June 17, 2014. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at present, please ask Bencherlite (talk · contribs). You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/June 17, 2014. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Tadeusz Kościuszko

Tadeusz Kościuszko (1746–1817) was a military leader who became a national hero in Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, and the United States. He graduated from the Corps of Cadets in Warsaw, Poland, before studying in France. In 1776, he moved to North America, where he took part in the American Revolutionary War as a colonel in the Continental Army. An accomplished military architect, he designed and oversaw the construction of state-of-the-art fortifications, including those at West Point, New York. He returned to Poland, and was commissioned a major general in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth Army in 1789. Two years after the Polish–Russian War of 1792 had resulted in the Second Partition of Poland, he led an uprising against Russia in March 1794. Russian forces captured him at the Battle of Maciejowice, and the defeat of the uprising led to the Third Partition in 1795, which ended Poland's independent existence for 123 years. He was pardoned by Tsar Paul I in 1796 and emigrated to the United States. A close friend of Thomas Jefferson, Kościuszko wrote a will in 1798 dedicating his American assets to the education and freedom of U.S. slaves. (Full article...)

You (and your talk-page stalkers) may also be interested to hear that there have been some changes at the TFA requests page recently. Nominators no longer need to calculate how many "points" an article has, the instructions have been simplified, and there's a new nomination system using templates based on those used for DYK suggestions. Please consider nominating another article, or commenting on an existing nomination, and leaving some feedback on your experience. Thank you. UcuchaBot (talk) 23:01, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Are you happy with the the 'Media viewer' that's now used when you click on an image? Not me. I resolved my problem, but you may want to check this out. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 04:36, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Aquiline nose

Piotrus--can you do me a favor? Please have a look at the Polish book in the Works Cited and tell me what you think and what you know. I'd like to know if, for instance, it's a book by an old-fashioned racial anthropologist (you know, the ones that thought every aspect of race was biological) or whether it's a kind of compendium of older theories--and, I guess, whether the author believes all this stuff about noses and Armenoid races but not Teutonics and all that. And I'd like to know if it was published by a decent press. Whatever you can tell me is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 16:03, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Translation

Dear Piotrus,

I'm of course well aware of your excellent contributions to Polish and WWII-based subjects. I just wondered if you might be able to translate (or at least, create a stub based on) the Polish Wiki articles for two WWII Belarusian subjects - pl:13 Białoruski Batalion Policyjny SD and pl:Białoruski batalion ochrony linii kolejowych which both have excellent Polish-language articles? It'd be a massive help! All the best, Brigade Piron (talk) 07:34, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion for Nayda Collazo-Llorens

Dear Piotrus, I would like to argue for the inclusion of the page for artist Nayda Collazo-Llorens. Women artists are significantly underrepresented on Wikipedia and this is no small issue. I am currently organizing in collaboration with the Elizabeth A. Sackler Foundation of the Brooklyn Museum of Art a complete list A-Z of significant women artists without Wikipedia pages, along with a plan to slowly build pages to make up for this absence. One problem is the set of criteria, as women artists are continually underrepresented in the mainstream press (VIDA is a compilation of percentages underscoring the underrepresentation of women in the literary field - a comparable set of statistics needs to be but has not yet been made for women in the visual arts).

This page can and will be edited! I will include a reference to reviews by Holland Cotter of the New York Times, for example - one of the most prominent art critics writing today! Also, I would point out that the Havana Biennial and the Pollock-Krazner Award are significant achievements in this field, plus a major permanent public art installation at a university. There are so many artist pages on Wikipedia of artists whose careers are minor compared to that of Nayda Collazo-Llorens. I appreciate your attention to this entry but request time to address your concerns. Regards, TablethreeTablethree (talk) 13:32, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Re: feedback on Poland-related article Supersam Warsaw

Thank you for your feedback about Wacław Zalewski and Supersam Warsaw I am kinda new at creating new pages so I am glad of any assistance I can get.

I left the article about Wacław Zalewski in drafts because I was afraid the page didn't have enough references. I was trying to find English references to match the ones on the Polish page pl:Wacław Zalewski

My main concerns with Supersam Warsaw was finding pictures. My interest in the building is the technology used in building it, especially the innovative roof structure. I'd like to find some pictures of the building's construction and one or two specifically about the special structure, or find someone who is Polish that has the background to improve that part of the article, or just get permission to use pictures.

Speedy deletion nomination of Miroslav Žamboch

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Miroslav Žamboch, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an acceptable page. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this page is not blatant advertising, . Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. You are welcome to edit the page to fix this problem, but please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. As well as removing promotional phrasing, it helps to add factual encyclopaedic information to the page, and add citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the page will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Mr. Guye (talk) 04:46, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

@Mr. Guye: I have removed that. It is not an advertisement, consider bringing it to Afd. OccultZone (Talk) 06:17, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
@Mr. Guye and OccultZone: Indeed. A notable writer, through subsequent edits to this article indeed make it peacock-ish and promotional. A proper way to deal with such concerns is to tag such article with {{peacock}} and/or prod it or take it to AfD; a speedy deletion is clearly inappropriate. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:04, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Tomasz Kitlinski's notability

Thank you for your concern and help. I am working on underscoring Tomasz Kitlinski’s notability. Tomasz Kitlinski meets the criteria of notability because he notably combines his remarkable academic output with important activism. He was awarded a Fulbright and Marie Curie Fellowships. The New York Times and Poland’s national media have reported on him. Thanks, marseilleisraelMarseilleisrael (talk) 08:16, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

I liked some of your articles, I wanted to know your pattern of A-class articles. OccultZone (Talk) 08:19, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
@OccultZone: My pattern of A-class is biased as very few projects conduct A-class reviews; in fact milhist is the only one I can recall and thus the only field my A-class articles fall into. I wanted to establish A-class review for WPPOLAND but we are not active enough; even B-class are done almost entirely by me :( --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:19, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
I think you guys are very active, or maybe it is just you keeping the whole wikiproject of poland active. United States got 8.5k unassessed, France got 10,000 unassessed, Africa got even more.. Football had 4,000 unassessed(I brought them to 400), and so on.. I had completed all of occult too, many of military. 94 unassessed articles of Poland WP is almost nothing. OccultZone (Talk) 09:25, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
@OccultZone: We try to stay above average (Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2012-02-20/WikiProject report), but it's tough. I am not sure if I or someone else went through the unassessed log a while back, you could ask at WTPOLAND, but I'll admit with a bit of immodesty that the stats are probably helped by the fact that since 2008/2009 I've been reviewing the new article feed every week, and tagging and assessing almost all related articles (minus sports and contemporary music, usually, as I just don't care that much for those topics). Since I haven't missed many weeks, that means, in essence, that most Poland-related articles since the new article feed started have been tagged and assessed, a feat that I would like to think not many other projects match. Also, I don't know if saying "it only takes one person" is optimistic or depressing (given how few people actually do this...). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:31, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
It makes you look different and productive. I agree with what you have written above, no one denies that most of the people spend their time arguing over 1 sentence and sometimes a single word. At the same time we can probably write/construct something better. OccultZone (Talk) 09:37, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Begging for a little help

I do not think we know each other, but of course, I have seen you name a lot.

I as reviewing an article Marilyn Roberts listed at Wikipedia:SCV. I think it can be fixed, but it needs some help. I told the primary editor I would look for some help, and decided to check Wikipedia:WikiProject European history for someone with interest in British history. I was momentarily excited when I saw an editors name which noted expertise in the area, but was crushed when I followed the redirect to User:Wadewitz. Then I saw your name, and thought I would use it as a chance to reach out and say hello, and thanks for all you've done and would you be willing to take a look.

The article leans too heavily on this site, which creates three problems. One is the too close paraphrasing, which can be cured either by rewriting, or by getting formal permission from the author. The editor claims to have permission, but as you know, if we want to go that route, we need OTRS filed permission. The third problem is that relying on text written by Marilyn Roberts in an article about Marilyn Roberts is problematic, and needs to be carefully limited.

I do not want to simply remove the article; my hope is that a collaboration between you and the primary editor could clean it up. The primary editor isn't a pure newbie with 5K edits, but could use some experienced help.

Any chance you could take a look?--S Philbrick(Talk) 22:01, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of John Durrant

The article John Durrant has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Launchballer 07:29, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Marilyn Roberts

I am concerned about Marilyn Roberts. I arrived at it via inclusion in a list of possible copyright issues, but I see broader issues.

I see that you saw the copyright concern and made some edits. In my opinion, those edits simply changed the text form copy past to WP:close paraphrase. If you are still working on it, go for it, but if you felt the problem has been addressed, I think it still needs work.

An additional problem is that the main source used for much of the structure and wording, is written by the subject. Such sources do not qualify as reliable sources, and should be used only in very limited circumstances. For example, such sources are often useful in determining the spelling of a person's name.

Please let me know if you are willing to undertake a substantial rewrite of the article. It occurs to me that this might be a good candidate for a collaboration with another editor who might also have interest in biography and/or English history. You might consider finding such a person at a relevant Wikiproject. Let me know if I can help find someone.--S Philbrick(Talk) 14:20, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

I understand your concerns and would be happy for you to help find someone else to edit Marilyn Roberts. With regard to copyright issues, I have emailed Marilyn Roberts, she has seen the article, and has no objections to the content (Marilyn Roberts's email available on request).--Madame Bonheur (talk) 23:23, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Unfortunately, Wikipedia requires a bit more cumbersome proof that she is ok. Please see WP:DONATETEXT. Basically, you need her to send an email to OTRS saying she release the source text under a free license, or otherwise it is illegal for us to resuse it (it doesn't matter whether she is ok, the LAW isn't). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:04, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

It would have been easier for you to help find another editor to rewrite it as requested. If you aren't willing to do this, please mark it for deletion.--Madame Bonheur (talk) 07:57, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

VisualEditor global newsletter—June 2014

The character formatting menu

Did you know?

The character formatting menu, or "Style text" menu lets you set bold, italic, and other text styles. "Clear formatting" removes all text styles and removes links to other pages.

Do you think that clear formatting should remove links? Are there changes you would like to see for this menu? Share your opinion at MediaWiki.org.

The user guide has information about how to use VisualEditor.

The VisualEditor team is mostly working to fix bugs, improve performance, reduce technical debt, and other infrastructure needs. You can find on Mediawiki.org weekly updates detailing recent work.

  • They have moved the "Keyboard shortcuts" link out of the "Page options" menu, into the "Help" menu. Within dialog boxes, buttons are now more accessible (via the Tab key) from the keyboard.
  • You can now see the target of the link when you click on it, without having to open the inspector.
  • The team also expanded TemplateData: You can now add a parameter type  "date" for dates and times in the ISO 8601 format, and  "boolean" for values which are true or false. Also, templates that redirect to other templates (like {{citeweb}} → {{cite web}}) now get the TemplateData of their target (bug 50964). You can test TemplateData by editing mw:Template:Sandbox/doc.
  • Category: and File: pages now display their contents correctly after saving an edit (bug 65349, bug 64239)
  • They have also improved reference editing: You should no longer be able to add empty citations with VisualEditor (bug 64715), as with references. When you edit a reference, you can now empty it and click the "use an existing reference" button to replace it with another reference instead. 
  • It is now possible to edit inline images with VisualEditor. Remember that inline images cannot display captions, so existing captions get removed. Many other bugs related to images were also fixed.
  • You can now add and edit {{DISPLAYTITLE}} and __DISAMBIG__ in the "Page options" menu, rounding out the full set of page options currently planned.
  • The tool to insert special characters is now wider and simpler.

Looking ahead

The VisualEditor team has posted a draft of their goals for the next fiscal year. You can read them and suggest changes on MediaWiki.org.

The team posts details about planned work on VisualEditor's roadmap. You will soon be able to drag-and-drop text as well as images. If you drag an image to a new place, it won't let you place it in the middle of a paragraph. All dialog boxes and windows will be simplified based on user testing and feedback. The VisualEditor team plans to add autofill features for citations. Your ideas about making referencing quick and easy are still wanted. Support for upright image sizes is being developed. The designers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments and adding rows and columns to tables.

Supporting your wiki

Please read VisualEditor/Citation tool for information on configuring the new citation template menu, labeled "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽". This menu will not appear unless it has been configured on your wiki.

If you speak a language other than English, we need your help with translating the user guide. The guide is out of date or incomplete for many languages, and what's on your wiki may not be the most recent translation. Please contact me if you need help getting started with translation work on MediaWiki.org.

VisualEditor can be made available to most non-Wikipedia projects. If your community would like to test VisualEditor, please contact product manager James Forrester or file an enhancement request in Bugzilla.

Please share your questions, suggestions, or problems by posting a note at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback or by joining the office hours on Saturday, 19 July 2014 at 21:00 UTC (daytime for the Americas and Pacific Islands) or on Thursday, 14 August 2014 at 9:00 UTC (daytime for Europe, Middle East, Asia).

Hello

Please can you help me? I created the above page in good faith, have improved it over several weeks and had it approved recently. I have used sources which are reputable in the world of jazz to indicate the notability of the subject. I appreciate that notability can be subjective. But I have tried to indicate that the subject has produced valuable work which is recognised by the jazz world as high quality and worthy of attention.

I cannot find any other sources right now that I can call on. Is there anything I can do to prevent deletion of this article? Thank you.

Signalism

Well, Piotr, thanks a lot for DYK suggestion regarding Signalism article. I think that it would be honor both for the Signalism AND for _all_ people who contributed to the article (especially to the version in Serbian Wikipedia) to have this also on the main page of English Wikipedia. I will do my best to familiarize with the DYKs procedure, as well as to further improve article before nomination. And yes, symbolically it's hard not to recognize a small but obvious coincidence in this case: just as Julian Kornhauser from Uniwersytet Jagiellonski was the very first to academically explain international relevancy of the movement in 1980 (published as Signalizm – Propozycja serbskiej poeziji eksperymentalnej, Krakow, 1981), now, a quarter century later, some kind of "Polish connection" re-appears with you, again in global context, but this time in "Signalistic medium". So, I'm bit a speechless. Nevertheless, thank you again for the suggestion and benevolence. I'll let you know when I think we are ready to try. Keep up the good work. --Stripar (talk) 23:27, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

@Stripar: Please note that usually DYK eligible articles require the content to be about a week old old less, but usually this is relaxed for editors who have not submitted a DYK before. Let me know when you have a nomination ready and I'll review it. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:55, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
As I see it now, in order to be DYKa, English article should be expanded with at least two topics (international influence of the movement; 21st century Signalist wave). I'll do some more research and prepare it. Thanks for support, we'll be in touch. Sincerely. --Stripar (talk) 21:39, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2014 June newsletter

After an extremely close race, Round 3 is over. 244 points secured a place in Round 4, which is comparable to previous years- 321 was required in 2013, while 243 points were needed in 2012. Pool C's Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions) was the round's highest scorer, mostly due to a 32 featured pictures, including both scans and photographs. Also from Pool C, Scotland Casliber (submissions) finished second overall, claiming three featured articles, including the high-importance Grus (constellation). Third place was Pool B's , whose contributions included featured articles Russian battleship Poltava (1894) and Russian battleship Peresvet. Pool C saw the highest number of participants advance, with six out of eight making it to the next round.

The round saw this year's first featured portal, with Republic of Rose Island Sven Manguard (submissions) taking Portal:Literature to featured status. The round also saw the first good topic points, thanks to Florida 12george1 (submissions) and the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season. This means that all content types have been claimed this year. Other contributions of note this round include a featured topic on Maya Angelou's autobiographies from Idaho Figureskatingfan (submissions), a good article on the noted Czech footballer Tomáš Rosický from Bartošovice v Orlických horách Cloudz679 (submissions) and a now-featured video game screenshot, freely released due to the efforts of Republic of Rose Island Sven Manguard (submissions).

The judges would like to remind participants to update submission pages promptly. This means that content can be checked, and allows those following the competition (including those participating) to keep track of scores effectively. This round has seen discussion about various aspects of the WikiCup's rules and procedures. Those interested in the competition can be assured that formal discussions about how next year's competition will work will be opened shortly, and all are welcome to voice their views then. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

TIMF and all its pomps and works

Hi Piotrus. Thanks for redirecting Tongyeong Contemporary Music Festival and re-tagging TIMF. They popped up on my watchlist because I had tagged TIMF for those issues five years ago—obviously to no avail—only to see Tongyeong Contemporary Music Festival pop up. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 13:46, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Edits to Krystyna Skarbek and Clare Mulley

Just wondering why editor Nihil novi has taken such umbrage to recent edits I made to the Krystyna Skarbek and Clare Mulley articles. He simply reverted my edits with nasty edit summaries so I reverted back. If you could review the diffs and determine if my edits were not, despite my best efforts, salutary, then I can agree to amending or even removing them. I left Nihil novi a message in Polish, by way of Google Translate, presuming has some familiarity with the language, although I may be mistaken. I don't know Polish myself, although my maternal grandparents were indeed from Lomza. Yours, Quis separabit? 19:38, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

If you compare the last pre-Quis separabit? 14 May 2014 version of the "Krystyna Skarbek" article with his 25 June version (I suggest you just start with the lead), you will note that, for Mulley's book, Quis separabit? lists in every footnote every page that is referred to in the entire article — not just the page actually referred to at that place in the article.
He also lists a book's city, publisher, and ISBN number in the footnotes (they need only be given in the references).
He places, in the lead text, quotations that originally — properly! — appeared in respective footnotes.
These changes made by Quis separabit? show fundamental ignorance of Wikipedia procedure and style.
Nihil novi (talk) 21:57, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
You know what they say about style -- some people have it and some people don't. Perhaps you can point to the relevant WP:MOS sections specifically addressing my editing "ignorance". And you don't seem to mention anything about the Mulley article in your above diatribe. Quis separabit? 22:01, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
Perhaps Piotrus could clarify for you the points I've made above. Nihil novi (talk) 22:22, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
@Rms125a@hotmail.com: Having reviewed the lead to Krystyna Skarbek article, I agree with Nihil novi: the additions of incorrectly referenced quotations is not helpful. Quotations used thus are discouraged per Wikipedia:Quotations, and references are plainly wrong. Please, at the very least, fix the references. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:01, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
OK, I'll do so based upon my understanding of what you're telling me is; if I get it wrong, I'm sure you'll tell me. I assume the Mulley article is OK as is. Quis separabit? 22:32, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
OK, tell me what you think (see diff here). Quis separabit? 23:12, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
@Rms125a@hotmail.com: The few parts I checked look fine. What do you think, User:Nihil novi? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:07, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
The reshuffling of some of the original text seems questionable. It may alter the chronological sequence of some events. E.g., Skarbek's (later) feigning of TB, and the (earlier) smuggling-out of the anti-tank-rifle parts.
By all means please correct any chronological mistakes you find. Thanks. Quis separabit? 17:27, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
There will be no need for me to do so, if you simply reverse gratuitous reshufflings. Nihil novi (talk) 09:16, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
I checked out the article and saw no chronological gaps or sequence issues. You are free, of course, to correct any which you identify or locate. Quis separabit? 17:21, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
Also, I don't see the rationale, in the notes, for reducing "Madeleine Masson" to "M. Masson" and "Clare Mulley" to "C. Mulley." Nihil novi (talk) 22:55, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
Because there is no need for such relentless repetition of forenames and wikilinks. Quis separabit? 17:27, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
English-language publications generally do not abbreviate authors' given names, unless the authors themselves do so. Nihil novi (talk) 09:16, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
AFAIK: English-language literary endnotes, from the books I have read, usually do not repeat the same author's forename (certainly no more than the first initial) after the first attribution (unless the same author is credited for more than one source or unless there is another attribution by another author with the same surname).

Royal intermarriage - Eastern Europe/Slavic Nations

I've added the marriage of Elizabeth Granowska and Władysław II Jagiełło, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, alongside Edward the Confessor and Edith of Wessex, as an example of monarchs bucking the trend and marrying their subjects. We now have mention of the Romanovs, and the Habsburgs (in their capacity as Kings of Hungary). How does that sound? Sotakeit (talk) 08:49, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

I've added: Some potential matches were abandoned due to irreconcilable religious differences. For example, plans for the marriage of the Catholic Władysław IV Vasa and the Lutheran Elisabeth of Bohemia, Princess Palatine proved unpopular with the largely Catholic nobility and were quietly dropped., referencing Władysław IV i jego czasy. Any change on an ISBN for this book? A quick Google search isn't helping. Sotakeit (talk) 11:20, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Piotr Skarga

A week and more has gone by since you requested a third opinion on the GA nomination of Piotr Skarga, and there've been no responses. I've reluctantly closed the review with a fail.

The article contained a great deal of useful information about an interesting subject. I'm glad that I read it, and that in the course of the review your wrote the valuable article on the Counter-Reformation in Poland. I'm grateful to you for giving me some incentive to improve my sadly limited knowledge of Polish history, and I intend to keep pursuing the topic even now that the review's done.

Unfortunately, we didn't seem to resolve our basic difference over how much background information should be included. I'd urge you to reconsider your position on it—and I'm looking back over articles that I've written to make sure that they don't assume too much knowledge of U.S. history, and trying to add background for non-U.S. readers where necessary.

Thanks for writing these interesting articles, and for your patience with my slow pace at times during this review. — Ammodramus (talk) 01:14, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

I just saw that you proposed a deletion of the be quiet! article I posted last week. Can you be so nice to explain to me why, because I was pretty sure that be quiet! meets the requirements and is therefore significant enough to have an own article. be quiet! is the German market leader for Power Supply units since 2007 - this is yearly independently tested by GfK Group.

Answer to suggestion made by Piotrus

I tried to do as you suggested, but like most things on Wikipedia, it seems quite complicated to do the first time. Since the article doesn't seem that wonderful to me, and since my initial version was heavily (and I think destructively) edited by someone (who said that the 21 images deleted constituted "dozens and dozens"), and since it seems doubtful to me that it would make it through the review process, I don't think i'll bother. Thank you for the suggestion, however. Henry Townsend 14:42, 5 August 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Henrytow (talk • contribs)

Question re: graphic Model of ethnic & racial conflict

Piotus - Is this graphic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Model_of_ethnic_%26_ratial_conflict.png from Turner 2005 ISBN: 978-0131134966? Thanks, Meclee (talk) 18:57, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. I was interested to list the year of publication on the graphic file and just used ISBN to be specific. Regards, Meclee (talk) 02:56, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi Piotrus. You put up a notability-template on Aarhus International Jazz Festival. I have supplied links and are now suggesting a clearance. Take a look at it one of these days. If more links are needed, please supply them or use talk page to explain what exactly is missing and I will have a look at it. Cheers. RhinoMind (talk) 21:37, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Article "Andrzej Wiercinski"

Dear Piotrus,

Many thanks for reviewing the entry for Prof. Dr. Dr. Andrzej Wiercinski. I agree that this biographical article is written more like a résumé. I would be happy to revise it. However, I’m not entirely sure if you still have concerns regarding Prof. Wiercinski’s merits as sufficient for Wikipedia's notability. Below is a quick reasoning for Wiercinski's remarkable contribution to hermeneutics and philosophy of religion:

Prof. Dr. Dr. Andrzej Wiercinski is a supra numerum Professor of Philosophy of Religion at Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, Germany http://www.theol.uni-freiburg.de/institute/ist/cr/wiercinski

He is a President of the International Institute for Hermeneutics http://www.iihermeneutics.org

Wiercinski's list of publication is remarkable, you can easily view it at http://www.theol.uni-freiburg.de/institute/ist/cr/wiercinski. He is widely published in the areas of philosophy, theology, hermeneutics, philosophy of religion, comparative literature, and medieval studies.

His remarkable level of productivity as an academic teacher, writer, and editor is complemented with the breadth of the subjects he addresses. He navigates with ease between different languages and disciplines.

He is recognized internationally not only as a scholar and prolific author but as an accomplished manager and knowledge facilitator. He serves on the advisory boards of many international societies and on the editorial boards of international academic journals. He is also an accomplished peer reviewer not only for journals and Publishing Houses but also assists organizers of international congresses and conferences as the member of the Academic Advisory Boards. His remarkable activity as the organizer of international congresses in addition to his editorial accomplishments and achievements rank him among the most prolific international scholars in hermeneutics.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Indicator (statistics), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Variable. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Margaret Abraham

Hi. I noticed you were active on the Sociology Project talk page. I was randomly reading the ISA article and noted the current president is redlinked, which I thought too bad. So I did some research and I found these sources: [1][2] [3] [4] [5]. I was wondering if you might have thoughts about other sources and whether there is enough for a Wikipedia article that could be drafted on her. Thanks.

Tagging

No problem about the tagging. I was hoping someone from WP:Poland may be able to expand the articles I've created, as there does seem to be a reasonable amount of information available about the parties. Unfortunately it's all in Polish, and whilst I'm reasonably confident translating from French or German, Polish is well beyond my comfort zone, and I don't like relying on Google translate. Many of them have more detailed versions on pl.wiki, which I try to link to. Cheers, Number 57 12:16, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Alice Habsburg

Hi! I've managed to get an article going on Alice Habsburg now. It became longer than I thought, but as of yet it's only based on the semi-autobiography I have which she wrote together with another person. If you're interested, I think it would make an exciting DYK addition but in that case I do need some help, I think, with adding Polish sources - and generally in improving the article. Let me know if you're still interested! Best, Yakikaki (talk) 12:39, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

This is next talk page with please help by IP 95.83.253.100. It's trolling and spamming. I explained to him a few things, did not help. Case of Silesians is very disputed, Polish sources are little reliable and also show only one opinion - Polish. IP 95.83.253.100 came to Wikipedia, copy/paste some Polish sources and fight with users and Wikipedia system, wanting the strength to make changes without consensus. Franek K. (talk) 21:52, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
Im looking for an admin to help me with user Franek K. trolling and edit war. As I wrote to amdin Alison and had no response I decided to look for an admin that is active at the moment and can look closely to teh subject. User Franek K. have been worn about his actions in the past and also have been blocked so I dont think he is a right person to be lecturing others here. I explained him his misconduct but unfortunately it didnt help. He cant back his claims with nothing more than... his POV which is against wiki rules. 95.83.253.100 (talk) 22:12, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
Mr 95.83.253.100, I was blocked only 1 time for 3RR[6], it's a not significant blockade, very good users and even admins have blocks for edit-war. You wrote " also have been blocked so I dont think he is a right person to be lecturing others here" , but also Piotrus was blocked for edit-war. So? Stop deceiving other users, I explained it to you and you trolling again. You came to Wikipedia, copy/paste some Polish sources and fight with users and Wikipedia system, wanting the strength to make changes without consensus. Create new edit-wars[7], trolling, spamming, break the rules, for example: Wikipedia:OWNTALK, Wikipedia:CYCLE etc. Please stop. Franek K. (talk) 22:25, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
Did I say here that it happened more than 1 time? Please ready carefully. You seem to come here only to concentrate on topic of silesian so called "language" and "nationality". Unfortunately your editions are recieved with scepticism and sometimes with direct action of admins and other users. Once again I would like to reming you that POV is not enough to back your claim and to delete other users referenced edits. Also deleting discussion from talk page is against wiki policy. Please refrain from your actions. Regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.83.253.100 (talk) 22:38, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
No, no, no. You do not understand what's going on. Articles about Silesians in their present form were for a long time. I do not make POV (I do not make new changes), I only protect articles from your POV. You came to Wikipedia, copy/paste some Polish sources and push NEW version. This are highly controversial changes, must to be a consensus. Please read Wikipedia:Consensus. Also, I and other users have right to revert your new changes and must to be discuss before changes, according to the Wikipedia:BRD. You totally do not know the standards and principles of Wikipedia - your incompetence, but competence is required (see: Wikipedia:CIR). Franek K. (talk) 22:50, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
