Dear Molobo, could you please tell me which source was used for the added map? It´s obviously "selfmade" and claiming a Polish majority (wiekszoszi polskiej) for almost the whole district ( with 98 % of votes for Germany ) is quiet absurd. there´s already a map, showing the district borders, so I can´t see any reason to add a biased and chauvinist map like that.(HerkusMonte (talk) 17:48, 9 May 2008 (UTC))

Sorry my mistake, off course Piotrus.

Nevertheless the map is biased and chauvinist. The plebiscite result shouldn´t leave any doubts and it´s unbelievable to claim a Polish MAJORITY (!) in this area in the 1920s. Even if some Poles did not vote or voted for Germany (Polish-Russian war) a Polish Majority existed only in phantasy of some nationalists. I don´t think Wikipedia is a place for right wing propaganda.(HerkusMonte (talk) 19:21, 9 May 2008 (UTC))

The plebiscite result should really be decidedly enough (remember we´re talking about 98 % for Germany). Still claiming a Polish Majority is simply unrealistic and absurd. If this is still common in modern Polish books - it´s sad.(HerkusMonte (talk) 19:38, 9 May 2008 (UTC))

Off course I see that the map doesn´t show results but ethnicity, but after 98 % voted to remain in Germany it´s absolutely absurd to claim a Polish MAJORITY ( remember the total votes :363,000 vs. 8,000), not to mention what happened later on to "Polish" Masurians. The article was just fine before that map was added and I still don´t see why we need another map in the article.(HerkusMonte (talk) 06:18, 10 May 2008 (UTC))

Quite useful

Józef Kostrzewski

"Z mego życia. Pamiętnik", Ossolineum 1970

Wiosną 1919 r. opublikowałem barwną mapkę narodowościową ziem dotychczasowego zaboru pruskiego, ze statystyką narodowościową tej dzielnicy dla poparcia naszych żądań na kongresie pokojowym.

(…)

Statystyki zawarte w tej publikacji oparte były na urzędowych spisach ludności W Prusach, przeprowadzonych w roku 1910, uzupełnione znacznie korzystniejszą dla nas statystyką polskich dzieci szkolnych z r. 1911. Już od początku listopada 1918 r. pisałem artykuły w "Kurierze Poznańskim" na temat stosunków narodowościowych w Wielkopolsce i w Prusach Królewskich, polemizując z twierdzeniami niemieckimi o Poznańskiem jako terenie mieszanym narodowościowo, gdzie rzekomo niepodobna pociągnąć linii granicznej między terytorium z przewagą ludności polskiej i niemieckiej. Wykazałem w tych artykułach, że nawet tendencyjna statystyka niemiecka z 1910 r. nie może zaprzeczyć, że mimo zniemczenia zachodnich i północnych powiatów Poznańskie jako całość liczyło 67,46% ludności polskiej

Cheers, not time to format.

...honestly, it doesn't make sense. I'm referring in particular to the Pomeranian rulers. Certainly, it would make sense to choose one spelling at least for the main entries, and possibly mention in the article that other versions exist? I mean, look: Bogusław_XIII%2C_Duke_of_Pomerania, Bogislaw_XIV%2C_Duke_of_Pomerania. It grates! Why not change all of them to Bogislaw? I know that "Bogusław" is the accurate Polish version, but names of rulers are customarily translated, so I would opt for an English version without diacritics. --Hburdon (talk) 20:16, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

:No, I can't prove it. For whatever reason, when I researched the problem originally a year or two ago, I decided it was the most common, but I can't remember the rationale now. Would you agree, though, that it would make sense to unify the spellings? If yes, then I'll try and look up some English sources next time I'm in the library and see what spelling is used in proper printed matter. --Hburdon (talk) 10:15, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

::Ah, we do translate names of monarchs and rulers though. Besides, they were Pomeranian rulers, was Polish their first language or was it German? --Hburdon (talk) 17:47, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

:::The Bogislaws of the duchy of Pomerania should be adressed as Bogislaw, as this is how they called themselves - though the Latin form was also used as much of the bureaucracy was done in Latin. Starting with the late 12th cty, the language spoken was the Pommersch variety of Low German; before, Pomeranian language (Slavic, "sth between" Polabian and Polish) was most probably used, as the first records of the duchy are of the early 12th cty. Besides the use of (Low) German as their every-day language, the Bogislaws might have spoken other languages, too, as there was plenty of intermarriage with nobility all across Europe...

I just looked at the German article about census (Volkszählung), but it concentrates on the census of 1987, which caused an important political discussion in Germany. There are only very few informations given on historical pre-war censuses (and especially pre WWI censuses), you are (am I wrong?) interested in. But I´ll try to expand the current article a little.(HerkusMonte (talk) 20:27, 12 May 2008 (UTC))

I contest the removal of Talerhof from the history of Poland category. Although Talerhof is not in Poland, the people interned there were from what is now Malpolska. One reason that they were imprisoned was that they wanted this area to be an independent state, or failing that, an autonomous province of Czechoslovakia. It is part of the history of ethnic minorities in Poland. See also Petro Trochanowski for current relevance.Pustelnik (talk) 13:34, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

See WP:WAF and WP:N. In short: the Royal Manticoran Navy focuses on in-universe plot summary; save for the lead, the article takes the form of what an Honorverse character might read in a history text. Articles about fictional topics should contain minimal in-universe plot summary and trivia and instead focus on the topic's critical reaction and development. "Notability" for fiction refers to the fictional topic being the subject of significant coverage in multiple third-party sources. The Royal Manticoran Navy probably is not notable, since that particular fictional group I doubt has been the subject of scholarly research or even been the focus of critical commentary. I am restoring the maintenance tags. --EEMIV (talk) 16:17, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

..."Panowie, szlachta i bojarowie ziem naszych litewskich mają na równi z panami i szlachtą Królestwa Polskiego używać i korzystać ze wszystkich udzielonych im przez nas nadań i przywilejów, o ile są katolikami i poddanymi Kościoła Rzymskiego oraz mają nadane klejnoty herbowe."
..."Ustanowione będą na wieczne czasy dygnitarstwa, krzesła i urzędy podług tych które są w Królestwie Polskim, mianowicie wojewoda i kasztelan w Wilnie, Trokach i w innych miejscowościach podług uznania i woli naszej."
..."Po śmierci Aleksandra, czyli Witolda, obecnego w. Księcia litewskiego, panowie i szlachta litewscy nikogo innego nie wezmą ani wybiorą na wielkiego księcia i pana Litwy, lecz tylko tego, kogo król polski lub jego następcy z radą prałatów i panów polskich i litewskich wybiorą i ustanowią. Nawzajem, gdyby król polski zszedł bez dzieci i prawych następców, prałaci panowie i szlachta Królestwa Polskiego nie powinni sobie obierać króla i pana bez wiedzy i zgody naszej, tj. wielkiego księcia Aleksandra, oraz panów i szlachty ziem litewskich"

• I appreciate at WP:3RR it states A revert means undoing the actions of another editor, whether involving the same or different material each time. To me it might be that you are inefficient at undoing an edit and take two edits to undo two different bits of information. I don't think that constitutes breaking the 3RR because he hasn't removed the same content. That is my view - otehers may vary. However, because it isn't clear, some clarification in your report might help.

Hi. I noticed you've put a merge tag on Jewish Socialist Party. Is there any concrete indication that this was the same as Poalei Zion or is it just an assumption? --Soman (talk) 22:03, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

:Thanks. Although if we can indeed conclude that this is the same as the JSDP 'Poalei Zion', then I'd prefer that the article was moved rather than merged. I think we should keep the Poalei Zion article for the international movement, and retain separate articles of the affiliates of the international movement. The organizational relations of the PZ needs to be clarified, for me the present PZ article is very confusing. --Soman (talk) 06:26, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

::But if this is the same as JSDP(PZ), then how to explain the merger into Bund? PZ certainly remained, both the left and right factions, in Polish politics during WWII. --Soman (talk) 09:49, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Piotrus, glad all is sorted about the mfd. Perhaps you could design a bi-lateral tag for your project group's pages when it's a combined wiki-uni thing. (A suggestion arising from the discussion.)

Just a comment on your user page – and I don't know, it might be because I use Safari, but your yellow ("You have new messages") box repeats vertically on the left, covering the nav information but behind the search box, and the blue one ("Please add new ") also repeats vertically, but on the right.

A 8-day long discussion on tennis-related biographies was held and notes with links were posted on most, if not all, articles that are to be affected. The situation was presented and consensus was overwhelming, including there users involved with tennis-related articles who had initially resisted the moves. Nothing was done impromptu.
Using diacritics is indeed in line with our naming conventions, as long as there is no verifiable preferred different-from-native spelling used throughout the English-speaking world, in which case the title of the article follows that spelling — I explained that to Darwinek in his talk page. The fact that it is being done on other parts of Wikipedia does not mean that it is not incorrect — as I mentioned, using diacritics in article titles can be correct or incorrect, depending on circumstances none of which can be named as "someone else was already doing it before".
Further, arguments such as the one Darwinek mentioned in connection with discussions regarding Ice Hockey players — which, as I explained to him, represent different circumstances from those of tennis players — which ammounted to "it doesn't do any harm because there's always diacritics-free redirects" are completely inapt to justify the superseding of the English language on the English-language Wikipedia. That only happens if and when the English language does not have a widely used version of its own that can be verified. The moves in tennis-related biographies are following that. For other instances, such as Ice Hockey, to go back to the example I worked with when explaining to Darwinek, I cannot be certain, it may well be the case that there is no English-language preferred spelling, in which case we will correctly use the native spelling, diacritics or not. I would refer you to my comments on Darwinek's talk page once again for a lenghier explanation on that. Redux (talk) 20:31, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

:The criterion is: used widely in the English-speaking world. It is not the case of seeing if other spellings are used in Russia, China and Saudi Arabia and determining that those countries' populations combined are larger than the population of the entire English-speaking world. Also irrelevant to verify how many Wikipedia users use any given spelling in their daily lives. What matters in this Wikipedia is: a) is that spelling widely used in the English-speaking world? and b) is that verifiable? Since for tennis the answer for both is "yes", we will use the English-language spelling. Again, refer to my comments on Darwinek's talk page for more in-depth comments on that regard.

The first clue should have been when a new editor asked for an existing editor to be unblocked, and then attacked that blocked editor's opponent. As for your other edits, reverting the edits of blocked editors is not vandalism, nor is removing pleonasms. Please be more civil in the future. Jayjg ^(talk) 23:17, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

:No, you are incorrect. Jacurek had been banned for 3 months, and rolling back a banned editors editors is hardly forbidden by policy; on the contrary, and proxying for a banned editor is forbidden. Please review Wikipedia:BAN#Enforcement by reverting edits, and in the future, please avoid describing the rollback of a banned editors edits as "vandalism". Jayjg ^(talk) 11:35, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Reason pretty simple: for layout purposes. Both maps essentially convey the same info, but when both present there is a ton of white space, crushed text, etc. I choose GDL map because (a) it is in English, (b) easier to understand (can testify from personal experience), (c) more detailed (more rivers, cities, ect.), (d) more pleasing to the eye, including colors, (e) much easier to see other voivodeships. The way I see it, GDL map is way superior. Renata (talk) 11:47, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello Piotrus! I am interested in witch trials, and I think every country should be represented in the subject. As for Poland, it's hard to find anything about this on the net. I think it would be most interesting to have a Polish with trial represented here on wikipedia. Most countrys are alredy represented. I have heard about only two cases; two old women burned in 1793, and Barbara Zdunk, executed in 1811. These where mentioned on the net with very few words. Do you have any information about this? I do not know if you are interested in the subject, but as I saw you are interested in historical articles, I thought I should try. I truly would be grateful just for a stub - as they have a tendency to develope if they are just started - or a name to google. I have asked this question on the Poland portal as well. Hopefully--Aciram (talk) 11:36, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

:Thank you very much for taking the time to give me such a long answer! I do think every country should be represtend; one might, to give a coverage of the witch hunt in each country, name: the first and the last case; the biggest case; and the most well known and "famous" case. The difficulty to search the net for this, is the lack of specific words; if you just search on "Witch trials Poland", the chances are small. What you need, to my experience, is for example names on the people involved, or places and years, to get a chance on google....I supose you would need the same to recquest the articles? I should have added that I can't speak Polish, but I will look forward to your future stubs, if you do decide to make them! --Aciram (talk) 12:36, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

:: There is a template including witch trials from alla over the Western world. It is inserted in all (?) of the existing witch trial articles here, I think, which is very practical: Template:Witch Hunt. The most developed article is, of course, Salem Witch trials. The others often need to be developed, but it's hard, as much is'nt translated to English, so this have to take a while. Though the witch hunt differed much in Europe, alla countries had them, and all should be represented, I think. Other cases missing are the trials conducted in France by Nicholas Rémy. --Aciram (talk) 15:06, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

This has apparently been fixed for now. Under the Piast section there is a link to "From Fragmentation to Rebirth". The article has been removed, but before it had substance in it and this text was popping up on the top of the History of Poland and Prehistory of Poland articles, some technical problem I guess...

Actually the all-capitalized EVE is correct; however, it doesn't comply with the Manual of Style. In Wikipedia's terms it's therefore incorrect.
