I've nominated the EVE Online category for renaming

Hi, Piotrus. My name's Aexus. Back in June 2006 you created the EVE Online category. To comply with the trademarks guideline of the Misplaced Pages Manual of Style I have nominated the category to be renamed to its correctly spelled version of Eve Online. Actually the all-capitalized EVE is correct; however, it doesn't comply with the Manual of Style. In Misplaced Pages's terms it's therefore incorrect. I inform you of the nomination in case you disagree and want to discuss it. You can discuss it on the Categories for discussion page. Below is the according template.

The Military history WikiProject Newsletter : Issue XXVI (April 2008)

The Military history WikiProject Newsletter Issue XXVI (April 2008)
Project news Tag & Assess 2008 launched on 24 April and will run until 4 July. We have around 60,000 articles to check, so all assistance is very welcome. As usual, there are barnstars galore and service awards for contributing editors. The project scope has been amended to include specific reference to historically accurate video games. Songs and music with long military associations are also now included. The Contest department has completed its thirteenth month of competition, which saw 27 entries. The top scorer this month is Ed! with 37 points, followed by Cam with 22 points. Woody, Howard C. Berkowitz, Redmarkviolinist, Nousernamesleft and Outdawg also fielded entries. Blnguyen remains the overall leader, with 188 points in total. You are encouraged to submit articles you're working on as entries. The coordinators have "adopted" task forces to act as prime point of contact. A list of which coordinators have adopted which task forces is here.	Articles of note New featured articles: 1960 South Vietnamese coup attempt 1962 South Vietnamese Independence Palace bombing Lazare Ponticelli Maximian Peterloo Massacre The Third of May 1808 USS Orizaba (ID-1536) USS Siboney (ID-2999) New featured lists: List of Irish Victoria Cross recipients Order of battle at the Battle of Tory Island New featured portals: Portal:American Civil War New A-Class articles: 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team (United States) Battle of Bonchurch Battle of Tassafaronga Early thermal weapons HMS Cardiff (D108) USS Comfort (AH-3) USS Orizaba (ID-1536)
Current proposals and discussions An interesting proposal to set up teams to deal with specific tasks, like taking the Top Ten most frequently read military history articles to featured articles status is here. The coordinators are exploring ways of developing and improving our fifty or so task forces. More information is here. All editors are invited to contribute to a discussion about the naming of military operations in an endeavor to reach consensus.
Awards and honors Congratulations and kudos to the four top-performing editors in BCAD: CAM (1st); Legotech (2nd); Harland1 (3rd) and Smsarmad (4th). They helped assess 4303 B-class Milhist articles. Well done! To belatedly commemorate the first anniversary of the Contest department, the overall annual winner, Blnguyen, has been awarded the Chevrons and the March monthly winner, Woody, and runner-up, Dreamafter, each receive the Writer's Barnstar.

New Project

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Misplaced Pages namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 06:53, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Bogusław, Boguslaw, Bogislaw, Bogislas...

...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,_Duke_of_Pomerania, Bogislaw_XIV,_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)

As an expert on Szlachta how would you like to join the Szlachta Wiki? it would be great if you joined! --Megapen (talk) 15:30, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Mieszko I

Since you seem to have bags of time to write articles, I wondered if you fancied taking a break from all the modern stuff translating pl:Mieszko_I, which is large and is an FA there? I have a few things on the guy if the Polish perspective there is adjudged too strong, but the vast majority of the academic literature appears to be in Polish, so it still ought to be worthwhile.

Danzig/Gdańsk

I`m not passionated about that things, but why something like poll should decide about official name of any city? Or anything at all. There even stands that name Danzig should be used to period before teuton assault and slaughter of its citizens... come on. In such case i want to rename Vilnius to Wilno before 1945, same goes for Lviv and Lwów, why not? Anyway, i don`t want any stupid fights over cityies names, but that attempts to show Gdańsk as totally unrelated to Polish history, and what`s more, to push suposed separatist tryies by that poor stubs, is not any historic, but historiographic mistake. I don`t even want to rewrite or rename that garbage, it doesn`t deserve separate article or this attention and should be merged to Free election, as i told, in section about Stefan Bathory election. But this time referrenced not by some scrap-papers describeing events from 1570... It could be also interesting to mention that Hans Winkelbruch von Koln (Gdańsk mercerines commander) had a banner with words "Aurea Libertas".

East Prussian Plebiscite

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))
