Hi! I am of two minds about the Vorkuta image caption. In that particular context the Soviet slogan is indeed very similar to German's.

German slogan, on the other hand, was primarily used for concentration camps. Soviet was more generic. While the caption in its present form is somewhat valid, it may lead to wrong conclusions.

The ''']''', a key part of what later became known as the ], took place during the ] (1919–21). The battle occurred near the town of ], some {{convert|20|km|mi}} north-east of ], between August 13 and 16, 1920. The first phase began with a frontal assault by the ] on the ] bridgehead. The Soviet forces captured Radzymin on August 14 and breached the lines of the ], which was defending Warsaw from the east. Radzymin changed hands several times in heavy fighting. The Russians wanted to break through the Polish defences to Warsaw, while the Polish aim was to defend the area long enough for a two-pronged counteroffensive to outflank the attacking forces. After three days of intense fighting, the ]-sized 1st Polish Army under General ] managed to repel a direct assault by six Red Army rifle ]s at Radzymin and Ossów. The struggle for control of Radzymin forced General ], commander of the ], to start the 5th Army's counterattack earlier than planned. Radzymin was recaptured on August 15, and this victory proved to be one of the turning points of the battle of Warsaw.

Dear Pan Halibutt. Before I ask my questions I want to express my admirations for your work and for many interesting articles you have published. You made a significant work for Polish studies on Wiki. It’s a proud work indeed. I have been interested in Warsaw uprising for a long time now. I have some questions regarding the participation of Foreign Volunteers on the German side in the uprising. There were allegations that 14 SS Galicia or Galizia (Ukrainian SS division) took part in uprising and conducted many brutalities. These allegations were denied by veterans of 14 Galicia and by some historians. It’s a fact that there were foreign volunteers fighting on German side in Warsaw (Kaminskis SS Brigade POHA and some members of POA-Russian Liberation Army). Maybe those Poles who gave testimonies about the atrocities confused Ukrainians with Russians? Also as I know Azerbaidjani volunteers were fighting against Poles in Warsaw. Did they commit atrocities? What other foreign volunteers of the Third Reich took part in the uprising? Thanks in advance and wishing you all the best. Please contribute more polish articles :) ] 16:24, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

== Precious ==
:Dear Pan Halibutt, Thanks so much for such an insightful and very informative information. I didn’t really expect to find out so many things in one day. Thanks to you now I have full information on Foreign Volunteers in Warsaw Uprising. I was well aware of RONA participation in uprising and also was convinced in the falsehood regarding Vlasov. However, Vlasov made numerous mistakes when he implemented Russian nationalistic policies in KONR regarding the self determination of many nations under Russian control. Although he later corrected that mistake. There was a big opposition from Ukrainian side about the involvement of 14 SS in the uprising. They still have firm believe that those were false allegations and polish provocations to present them as villains. I still don’t understand the main root causes of polish Ukrainian conflict. These are two very close nations. I think they have much greater enemy in the east. Its very sad to read about Azeri participation in the uprising. Azeris joined Wermacht due to many reasons but mainly for national liberation (others like Armenians Georgians, Baltic people, Ukrainians, Turkistani has same reasons). Is it true that Dmitry Shalikashvili (former officer in Polish army of Georgian decent) was member of Georgian SS (under BregadenFuhrer Tsulukidze) and he took part in the uprising? I think those were only allegations. He was one of the Georgian émigrés (of aristocratic background) who loved and admired Poland. Please visit: http://www.conflicts.rem33.com/images/Poland/georpol.htm
:And please let me know what you think about it. I’m very happy to have found you because it’s very hard to meet a person which such a vast knowledge in military history. I have tons of questions but I don’t think you have enough time to answer them. They start from Ulans of Napoleon (in Spain and Waterloo) till the massacre of Polish officers by Soviets.  Thanks again for dedicating your time and giving me so much info. Im planning to start article on Georgians in Polish army and if you have some info or want to help out I would be grateful.  All the best Pan halibut. Best wishes. ] 18:17, 27 April 2006 (UTC)


{| style="background-color: ; border: 1px solid #a7d7f9;"
::Dear Pan Halibutt, You can not imagine how helpful this information was. I can’t express enough gratitude. This info actually will help me to do more research on those Georgians. As I know Polish government in 1920 also supported liberation movements within republics of Caucasus. From many émigrés in Poland they organized an organization called “Prometey” which was financed by Polish government in establishing military units composed of Caucasian nationals. They even had training camps all across Poland. Polish government also conducted serious research on cultures and history of Caucasian nations and collected great amount of information (later used by Germans Abwehr to form eastern volunteer units). There were some operations conducted in Georgia in 1930s. Via Turkey Georgian insurgents attacked Soviets but most of these operations failed. Many people in Tbilisi who have been involved were executed. Shakilashvilis biography is very interesting and controversial. He was one of the Georgian aristocrats who fled the Bolshevik invasion. He joined Polish army. In his work he expressed gratitude and love for Poland. When Germans invaded he was contacted by Georgian émigrés from Berlin (they had organized Georgian Committee White George). Members of that committee were his former friends and fellow aristocrats (count Amilakshvari, Prince Dadiani and Chavchavadze). They pleaded with him to join the Georgian Legion (under the command of a brilliant general Shalva Maglakelidze). He was convinced by Abwehr agents and by German propaganda for liberation of Georgia. He joined his friend who became BregadenFuhrer Michael Tsulukidze (former officer of Georgian Democratic Republic) in newly formed Georgian SS unit. Both of them had good relations with Admiral Canaris. During the uprising in Warsaw, Salikashvili refused to join German units in Poland and surrendered to the western allies in France. However, there was a version by Soviet propagandists who claimed that Shalikashvili took part I the uprising. By this claim they made him a villain. Before he died in US, John Shalikashvili (son and later a big man in US army) witnessed his last moments. He asked John to never forget Georgia and go back there someday. Its very interesting relationship Polish had with Georgians before and after WWII. Unfortunately many poles don’t know even a simple thing about Georgia (a country which admired them). With Kober I will try to make an article about it in Wiki. What do you think? Thanks a lot again Hali, I really appreciate your help. All the best. LD. ] 20:55, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

==Disambiguation link notification for December 26==
As for the "...in Poland" section, I have doubts about its appropriateness. I first thought that you were going to repeat what someone else tried to do before and write a section on AL. I seemed to have convinced that guy that while AL was indeed largely Soviet controlled, it was still not a Soviet partisan unit.

However, what you write, is a different matter. You are writing about the territories detached from Poland and attached to Belarus, Ukraine, Lithuania before the war.

::added links pointing to ], ], ], ], ], ] and ]
: We've reached a compromise solution with Kuban Kazak and guess what? Irpen came and reverted to '''his''' preferred version. Which makes me think that using talk pages to reach a compromise makes no sense since there'd always be some Irpen to come and revert to what his POV tells him. I wasted enough time to prepare the articles you ''fix'', I don't have enough time to waste on talking to a wall, as we say here in Poland. You have your views and apparently are dedicated to spreading them in wiki at all cost. So be it. You don't want to listen to arguments of other people - fine, do as you please. Want to change the articles to your liking - fine again. But be advised that it's a two-way road.
: You've been complaining about Molobo's POV pushing, yet you become his mirror, just on the other side of the fence. He's using modern Polish sources which you find incredible - yet you're using either your own judgement (Volodarka) or some 19th century Russian prop (Orthodox church in Warsaw during the insurrection anyone?). It's your right to be hot-headed, but you don't have a right to assume my bad will or offend me the way you do. Want to continue your behaviour - feel free to. I will not offend you the way you did because in Poland it is believed that such behaviour tells more of the offending part and not of the offended person. However, if all wiki accepts your attitude, in no time all Russian-related articles will be vandalized the way you're vandalizing all articles you find related to Russia. You start adding Soviet propaganda - people will start adding Nazi one. For every ''liberation'' remark you add you will get a ''Soviet imperialism'' remark. This would be disruptive to the project and I believe that in the end all the people to adopt your ways would be banned, but the damage done to[REDACTED] would be serious. And it takes much more time to repair the image of Misplaced Pages once it starts reflect as radical views as yours.
: Also, if you have a problem with international law not recognizing territorial changes through war then consult your MP and ask him to change it. Until then the Nazi-Soviet alliance and its outcome are not binding - at least not for anyone outside of USSR and Nazi Germany. The alternative is to call all sections according to the contemporary naming: Soviet partisans in General Government, Soviet Partisans in ] and so on. The territories I wrote about in the context of 1943 were detached from Poland in 1945 - and it was not ''before'' the war, but after it. Before the war those territories did not belong to the USSR. Check any contemporary map and you'll see. ''<font color="#990011">//</font>'']] 22:57, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

This indeed seems to be a serious problem and I have to admit I don't see any way to solve it.

The usuall problem, I added references on policy towards Poles made by Bismarck and treatment of Poles in German Empire.

== ''The Bugle'': Issue LXXXV, April 2013 ==
== Central Lithuania ==
Don't you see, Halibutt, that aside from political controversy of these topics, the names of these two articles are nonsensical. ] nowdays is somewhere around ] town and area. The creators of Litwa Srodkowa were probably dreaming about restoring Grand Duchy of Lithuania which would be once more part of Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth (quite imperialistic desires, IHMO, if they thought this is the center, then the whole country had to spread from sea to other sea) The area of Litwa Srodkowa now includes South East part of Republic of Lithuania and Western part of People Republic of Belarus. You get people lost in time and space with these kind of names. Rename the article to "Republic of Litwa Srodkowa", and even most nationalist Lithuanians will have little to object to. Why do you translate the name of this republic to English? If translated to English, it should be written in quotes "Central Lithuania". For example if we translate Lithuania in English, it will be "Rain Country", "Country of Pouring water", and without quotes it has no sense.


{| style="width: 100%;"
Name of the article ] is even a bigger nonsense. Ethnic composition of Kėdainiai district is quite different from presented in your article. I don't have the statistical data now at my hand, but I suppose it must be ~90% Lithuanian. There is nothing wrong with having several censuses in one article, but, if you include censuses that were performed after "Central Lithuania" ceased to exist, you cannot call it "of Central Lithuania". I suggest to call the article "Censuses in Vilnius area". "Ethnic composition" counting during times of represions and wars was inacurate, since people were afraid for their life and safety if they choose the "wrong" ethnicity. There is an excerpt from a book "History of Lithuania" by Lithuanian historian Zigmantas Kiaupa:"On January 8, 1922 elections were held under occupation conditions to the "Central Lithuanian" Sejm and officially 60 percent of voters took part. The elections were boycotted by Lithuanians, Jews and some Belorussians and a certain percentage had doubts over whether they should vote." ] 10:10, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

==Disambiguation link notification for May 11==
Balcer, to be clear. My introduction of the Lithuanian name for Lublin was not a ] edit. After being told, over and over, it was important to educate and inform the English speaking readers of the Polish versions of Lithuanian cities' names, that these readers should have the same reverse opportunities. It seemed logical and fair, at least at the time. So yes, there may have been some comingling of proving a point, but that was not my exclusive reason. During the PLC, Cracow and Lublin, had special significance to Lithuanian history, as the first capital, and the city where the ] took place.

:Actually Balcer, I am not ''still'' arguing about this point. And "our good agreement" seemed to be lasting with most of the editors in English WK.

The 5 minute coincidence, worked out nicely, just "the luck of the draw". I'm sure it wouldn't have been left in much longer in any case. BTW, I got an email asking me what "Got Wilno?" meant.

The meaning with the kit template is not to give the exact look of the kit down to manufacturer, club/FA badge, and barely visible relief (or what it would be called), but to give a correct but not very advanced info on how the kit looks "from the stands". The hussar may be nice as a picture of its own, but even if you intended to add arms, the feeling I get is still that it becomes a mishmash of details hard to really understand, "is the dress light grey or just dirty white?", "what's that tiny red spot on the shoulder?", "is there some kind of pattern in the grey?", and so on. I hope you understand what I mean and that I haven't upset you, but I still hope that you would refrain from re-adding it (maybe instead add only a single kit somewhere else in the article, see for example ]).

Catholic Insight should really be removed as it states, incorrectly that Virchow was Jewish. In fact he was Protestant (I think Lutheran). The whole thrust of the Catholic Insight article is on a Jewish war against Catholicism and how among other things Judaism was responsible for events such as the Kulturkampf.

''Most established historians argue that in such a situation Stalin had no alternative but to enter into a pact with Hitler instead. By way of example, A. J. P. Taylor (1906-90), the well-known English Professor of History, wrote: "It is difficult to see what other course Soviet Russia could have followed." He thinks the Ribbentrop-Pact was in the last resort anti-German: "It limited the German advance eastwards in case of war." Apparently Taylor thinks that the Germans would have taken Moscow if not the Pact had limited their penetration. The actual result of the Pact was, however, that Poland ceased to function as buffer in case of a German assault.

#A single article to cover both would be sufficient as they were VERY closely related and differed mainly in size and engine arrangements, i.e. merge them.
#A variants section to explain the differences between the BN<sub>3</sub>, and T variants.
#Try to use your own prose instead of parrotting references.
#Avoid adding superfluous details, such as the various competing aircraft which should only get fleeting mentions at best.


Just some suggestions, but if you look at the articles again objectively you may see my points.

Dr. Eduard Krebsbach
....to get on the main page!
Between October 1941 and Autumn 1943, he was Chief-Physician of the SS and the Police at Linz, Steyr, Wels and KZ Mauthausen-Gusen. He was the first to start mass-execution of ill and unfit prisoners by heart-injections. So he was nicknamed "Dr. Spritzbach" (Injection-Doctor) in the camps. In January 1942, 732 Spanish inmates and 571 Soviet inmates were exterminated by heart-injections at KZ Gusen Concentration Camp. In general, heart-injections were given at KZ Gusen Camp two times a week until April 1945. The career of Dr. Krebsbach ended at KZ Mauthausen-Gusen when he shot Josef Breitenfellner, a young man from Langenstein-Village who served in the German Army at that time and was home for vacation. Krebsbach shot this German soldier May 22, 1943, on vacation from his private house because he was disturbed by Breitenfellner and his friends. Due to this crime, Dr. Krebsbach was moved from KZ Mauthausen-Gusen to KZ Warwara where he led the selections along with the liquidation of that camp in August 1944. Later, he worked as the Inspector for Epidemies in the occupied countries of Lettland, Estland and Lithuania. The following SS-Doctors refused to give heart-injections at KZ Gusen:

Hi Halibutt. I just noticed the dispute regarding the Polish maps on Commons, so this might be as good a time as any. If you create any further images of Poland and her neighbours during the 1660s, could I persuade you to fix a few minor errors first? 1) The island ] (Ösel / Øsel) in Estonia was Danish until 1645 but Swedish since then. 2) ] / Scania and ] were part of Denmark until 1658, and Karlskrona (in modern Sweden) was not founded until 1680. It had no predecessor during the Danish period (the population of Christianopel in easternmost Blekinge was moved to the new town, so the latter is now a minor village). On a very minor note, Bornholm was Swedish 1658-1660 but Danish for all other periods. I know these are small matters, but your maps are of high quality and it is a pity to have minor details spoil an otherwise very good impression. Both ], ], and ] need fixing.

Halibutt, you rewrote the article ] that I started and worked hard to make it more complete. Your references and edits show your Poland-centered world view. Also, you made some mistakes that I should address with you personally first. You deleted the part of the article about his parents. There is a church baptismal records "babtisavi infantem n(omi)ne Laurentium patris Symoni Masulis et Matris Catharinae Masulowa de villa Migance", his mothers maiden name Žekonyte (Ziekonaycia). You confused his godmother Ona Baltušytė-Gucewicz with his stepmother Kotryna Tamošiūnaitė, and he wasn't an orphan, only his mother has died, not his father. You should have noticed how little his biography had to do with ethnical Poland. Stanisław Poniatowski, not a King, but his contemporary, called him Lithuanian architect as it is shown in monographs by Eduardas Budreika. Please leave Lithuanian people and especially Lithuanian children some heritage too. Is this your policy to deny that people that lived ethnical lands of Lithuania could be of Baltic-Lithuanian origin?

Second problem is with the ] and the list of Lithuanian banners. Battles and military interests me the least, but since I stumbled on a mistake in the list, I looked in history book written in Lithuanian by Mečislovas Jučas, called "Žalgirio mūšis" (Battle of Grunwald), 1990. I have found different names mentioned in historical sources: Albertus alias Maniwid, Stanislai alias Czupurna, Kynsegail, Giedygowd, Astik Radywillonis, Rumbaud Sunygailonis, Joannis Nemyr, Simeon Lingwen, Sigismund, Iwan Zedewid, Gasztolt. Could you please cite your sources of that list?

Finally, you should wake up to the reality that it is a year 2006 already. Lithuania is no part of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and the names of villages and cities in Polish are in many cases inapropriate and border with original research.

Thanks for the clarification. I'll add that to the article as soon as possible, I simply did not understand much of the original discussions of his surname's evolution. I admit I don't speak Lithuanian well, but from that article it seemed to me that most of the names mentioned there were ''Lithuanian reconstructions'' rather than actual names. Take for instance the case of Gucewicz's father: Latin must've fooled either you or the author a tad, as his father's name was apparently not Masulis but Masul (''Simoni Masulis'' means ''of Simon Masul'' in Latin), and his wife's name suggests just that. ''Masulowa'' has a typical Polish name ending; -owa is added to signify that the person is someone's wife, much like -yte or -aite in Lithuanian, -ova in Czech and so on.

You would laugh at somebody not Polish and not being a linguist trying to reconstruct Polish names, so please understand, that for a native speaker of Lithuanian Masulis reconstructed to Masul is ridiculous. Since I speak Russian, there is no need to explain to me -owa meaning, while you do not know that -ienė was an indication of wife in Lithuanian (in modern times (21 century)this practice is changing too.

:::As to the name problem - I understand your desire to pretend that Vilnius has always been a Lithuanian city and it was the vile Poles to occupy it. However, it was not that way in the real life. Calling the place with a modern name, when referring to historical times is like calling the battle of Stalingradas with the modern name of that town. I prefer the Polish name of that town, as it was used by the huge majority of its inhabitants between middle ages and 1945, but as a gesture of good will and a way to reach some compromise I use the neutral name of Vilna, which was the common English name for that town until relatively recently.

Before the written history of Vilnius, it has been a Baltic settelment for many centuries, that what sciences of archeology and anthropology can prove.

Perhaps the problem is indeed in what Juranune called this section a "Poland-centered world view" and some editors' forgetting that this is not pl-wiki. We could spend much more time on the actual content of the articles if you were not persisting so stubbornly with Polish or Polonized names all the time.

This is interesting. ''Patris'' and ''matris'' are clearly in the genitive; but Masulowa cannot be a genitive, and Masulis can only be a genitive if it is of the third declension -- but if that's the case, it could also be a nominative. Masulowa, since vowel quantity is not marked, could either be a nominative of the first declension or an ablative. ''Laurentium'' is the accusative of ''Laurentius'' (]).


{| style="width: 100%;"
Is there a Polish surname Masul or maybe Masuł or Masow - something like that? It almost looks like the priest didn't bother trying to Latinize the Polish surnames, just the parents' Christian names, which already had an accepted Latin form and could be declined correctly.

] Hello, I'm ]. I have automatically detected that to ] may have broken the ] by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on .
''Laurentium'' is clearly an accusative in apposition with ''infantem'', ''nomine'' is an ablative of description. Symoni is problematic to analyze as a genitive, because ''Simon'' is usually declined on the pattern of ''nomen, nominis''; thus Symoni, it would have to be a dative or ablative of the third declension (unless the priest was trying to make it a second declension masculine noun "Symonus"). If the dative was intended then, I would lean toward interpreting Catherinae as a dative too, not a genitive. And it makes sense for this to be a dative: a dative of possesion was the preferred manner of telling the name in early Classical Latin. My Allen & Greenough grammar tells me that "...Cicero prefers the nominative, Livy the dative; Sallust uses the dative only."

Did our parish priest happen to sign his name "Parasallustus?" Actually, if this is a standardized formula, it was probably drawn up at the diocesan or synodal level by an ] and then filled in by a parish priest of more modest abilities -- that would explain his shying away from Latinizing the surnames. If I had been the priest, I would have put something like <small>S. MASSOVLOVVS</small> and <small>C. MASSOVLOVVS</small>. Doesn't that look like a nice Latinized Greek name? And the small caps are much more Roman-looking. And it could have been <strike>written</strike> dictated to an Egyptian slave, who would employ a brush and papyrus scroll, or maybe a stylus and wax tablet...oh, sorry, back to the task at hand.

So, in light of all that, my translation (and keep in mind, this is free, and you get what you pay for) is: ''"I did baptise the infant Wawrzyniec by name, of father Symon Masul (by name) and mother Katarzyna Masulowa (by name)."''

Hello. I noticed your comments on list of Polish Jews referring to Kryzsztof Kamil Baczynski and I agree with you. A user keeps adding Baczynski to the list using this source as evidence. The source simply states that the Polish government for some reason or another tried to hide the fact that Baczynski's mother was of Jewish ancestry. The author, Filipowicz, sites Jozef Lewandowski, Szklo bolesne, obraz dni... Eseje nieprzedawnione (1991) as her source. That source in turn says that Baczynski's mother may have had Jewish ancestors. Exactly, what Pole at that time didn't have some Jewish ancestry? The source continue by saying that Baczynski didn't identify as a Jew. Then this source says Krzysztof was baptised Christian: . Given this, I would appreciate if you can help me in my endeavour to remove Baczynski. ] 15:04, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

::::I'm sure there are all sorts of Catholics in Poland, as elsewhere. But generally my impression was and is that the Polish RC Church is one of the most conservative doctrinally. I agree that "for centuries the church was the only all-national institution that was allowed to exist - and was crucial in preserving the Polish culture." I read about this somewhere in the context of the Church being a repository for the Polish sense of national identity, since the state was highly variable over the centuries. And I do think that those Poles who are very strongly nationalist or, if you prefer, patriotic, have an almost mystical passion about it, as some and possibly many Poles do about religion.

The thoughts above are an attempt to find a rational explanation for what seems to me to be an irrational phenomenon. If I've over-generalized, I'm only expressing what I've read and experienced. It seems to me that if there were nothing unusually nationalistic about Poles in general – that is, not ''all'' Poles, but many and ''perhaps'' most Poles – then we wouldn't be having these discussions on Wiki. And also, certain Polish politicians wouldn't occasionally raise the spurious specter of German revanchism – or at least "revisionism" – 60 years and three generations after the Third Reich, which shall forever remain a cause for collective shame among Germans.

To Smith2006 and Halibutt: Thank you both for your interesting comments.
Of course I fully endorse the thought that one may be Jewish and Polish, Jewish and German (as many of the initial Jewish victims of the Nazis thought they were), Jewish and American, etc. What I meant was, I had the impression from what Halibutt said previously that whatever ''religious'' identity he had centered on being Jewish; I certainly did not mean that he was somehow not Polish in an ethnic, cultural or political (nationality) sense.

This is in response to your remarks to me on the talk page of the ]. Your remarks paraphrased rather exactly:
:''BTW, did you like the Communist cuisine in Communist Poland? And how about our Communist girls? I assure you there's nothing like a Communist schabowy in a Communist restaurant - provided they didn't turn off the Communist electricity so that you could (sic) listen to Communist hits on the radio''.
Well now, how to respond to all of these questions. For some backround, I should state, for those who are unaware, that I'm a U.S. citizen, born in the U.S.A., who lived, and studied in communist Poland. You drogi Halibutt, were born after that criminality was on the ropes and the writing of that inevitable fact was on the wall. Your perspective is somewhat tainted by the fact that you probably had many relatives that held prominent positions in the ] (please forgive me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that I am). For most people, ''communist schabowy''(pork chop) was a rarity (at the end of my studies, my ration card allowed for four pounds of meat {2 kilos} a month). One bar of soap was alloted per person a month (this was in the 1980's not WWII). As for communist girls, more Polish girls that I met hated the system as much as the rest of the Polish Nation did. If you want to know something more about communist girls check out ] or ], if none of your relatives fit the bill. Regarding the electricity, they did't turn it off so you would miss the communist "hits", but it often failed on it's own, and it could cause you to miss recording some of the non-communist "hits" that were more popular in Poland. Towards the end of my stay, there were anti-communist broadcasts being beamed from roof tops by clandestine radio transmitters. I personally witnessed the dramatic uprising of the Polish Nation and their throwing off the yoke of this very criminal system. Don't kid yourself listening to some nostagia from the "Red Bourgeosie", of what it was. And please don't refer to it as an ''Independent Country'' (as you did), because both you and ] (he got into trouble making that stupid remark), were wrong about that too. ] 05:33, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

:Dr. Dan, I’m sorry to say that but this time you went too far. Not that your words weren’t offensive earlier, but this time you went from general offences towards Poles as a whole into a very unpleasant personal attack of your opponent in a discussion. If you indeed were in Poland, then you should know what exactly you said. But in case you haven’t been here at all, I’ll say that I could make a supposition that your ancestors were slave traders or your father dropped a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima to the same effect. Your words were very strong and certainly there was no need for them. I hope you’ll see your mistake and offer your apology to Halibutt.

:Now, the other thing is that I’m afraid you misunderstood Halibutt entirely. Maybe it’s our Poglish that makes his words understandable to me but not to you, but I’ll try to make one more effort and explain. Halibutt didn’t try to tell you that the times of communism were glorious or in any other way positive. What he was saying is that we as a nation have no other history. There is no parallel world for the Poles. The country and we are as it is, no matter if we like it or not. I do remember the times you wrote about very well, thank you for the lesson on our own history. I do remember the taste of schabowy, and Halibutt is right, it didn’t change, and I’m sure that before WWII it tasted the same. And please, don’t worry, Poles are clever enough to know how to trade their ration cards for cigarettes and vodka to those for meat, and the US tourists who are not able to adept themselves into situation should take their USDs to one of the many Pewexes to buy some food, or simply go to a hotel restaurant for a decent meal. The lack of food was the least problem as I remember it, and we wouldn't go far as a nation if that was our main concern then, would we? Anyway, the point is that even with a communist government some things stay the same. So the schabowy was as real as the fact that 150,000 civilians were killed among others by the Wermacht division. No need to fabricate something that was already there.

:But what you’re saying now, is:
:1. that we should discard over 40 years of our own history because it’s all a communist fabrication – to which Halibutt says not all is a fabrication, the schabowy was real, as well as other things,
:2. that we are all fools who cannot tell the truth from the communist propaganda – to which I say that your approach is extremely arrogant if you say that people who could pull down the whole system in their country cannot tell the facts from a tale, and even if we didn’t defeat the communists your approach still would be arrogant all the same.

:Which leads me to a question – did they brainwash you during the communist studies at the communist Poland’s university? No, it’s not a sarcastic question. I’m serious. Because if they did then you should stay away from history articles for everyone’s good. But if they didn’t, then why you think that our historians are brainwashed?


== Misplaced Pages article traffic statistics - Battle_of_Warsaw_(1831) ==
:Now, to the article in question. What we’re trying to say is that what you’re doing is nothing else but ORIGINAL RESEARCH. If you think that a source is incredible, bring another one, but keep your personal opinions to yourself. We’re not going to write them in the article and then put into references “per Dr. Dan”, are we? If you’re a historian, fine, make your own researches, write a book, have it reviewed by professionals, and then we’ll add your opinions into the article and add your work into references. Otherwise Dr. Dan is a wikipedian like any other and is not allowed to put unsourced POV into articles. If my meaning is still not clear, then please read the Wiki rules.

:If you’re not going to write the book after all, then here are other possibilities: 1. Bring a '''source''' that says that people working for IPN are brainwashed and cannot tell which things from our over 40 years long history are facts, and which are just a fabricated propaganda. 2. Bring any '''source''' that says that there was not 760 mass executions of Polish civilians during the September Campaign, or that the 150,000 civilians who died then never existed, or that Wermacht never killed a single person. 3. Bring any '''source''' that says who killed the people if not Wermacht as IPN says. (No, I’m not saying that they all were killed by the single division and the article doesn’t say that either.) Otherwise I’m really at a loss what is your point other than to discredit our sources on the basis that according to you we are all communists.

::SylwiaS, You seem genuinely concerned and earnest in your remarks, but I couldn't dissagree with you more than with your sad attempt to deflect the reality of the discussion that Halibutt and I have been having about the ], and Molobo originating the article for propaganda purposes. Honestly, you are not being offensive, because you are all over the place and only ocassionally making sense. I think I upset you in a deeper way, because I have observed this phenomenon (of you not making sense), when you get emotional, in the past. This is more evident when you "chime in" from left field leaving some doubt that you understand what as been said or written. ''Communist schabowy (pork chops)'', ''Communist girls'', ''Communist hits'', ad nauseum, are not elements that I introduced into the argument or have anything to do with my position regarding the article in question. But when Halibutt introduced this nonsense into the argument, I responded (not as a tourist with bucks), but as a student witness on a stipendium, who spent seven years in the PRL, and knows all about the Polish gifts of trading vodka, cigarettes, bars of soap for meat etc. Too bad this was in the 1980's (you'd expect it more in WWII). I really don't need any lessons from Halibutt's, ''I can assure you'', or your absurd, ''But what you're saying now, is '' Blah, blah, blah. Because when it comes to the PRL, Halibutt cannot assure me of anything. And you Sylwia, please don't tell us what '''You''' are saying, and claim this is what '''I''' am saying.

I've tried to clean it up a bit, but I simply don't understand this line: "This project has been introduced as the city’s coat of arms in 1938 ...". Which project are you referring to, or does it mean that the symbol did not enjoy official status before 1938? Happy editing. ] <sup>]</sup> 22:56, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

== Usedom Meeting (again) ==


Halibutt, Poeticbent continues working on his Treblinka FAC to the exclusion of this nomination—even though the FAC closed a week ago, concentration remains on working the article so a new FAC can be opened in a week's time, at which point even more work will be needed to address issues raised by the review.
Hi Halibutt, the date is now finalized for the meeting - September 1 to September 3, 2006 (the first weekend in september). It's mostly business as usual (=as last year) except for the fact that you don't need to bring your own tent. We have to use two large tents for six persons each which are already there. They are equipped with real beds. So in essence, bring everything as planned for three days of camping (including sleeping bag), except for your own tent. The actual costs depend on the exact number of participants. Right now, its 55 Euro for each tent with 8 people, so 110 Euro/ 8 people = 13,75 euro per person for the weekend. If more people attend, the price will go down. In addition to that price, everybody has to pay 2 Euro per day for using the bathroom and the shower. Food and beverages will be bought together as last year, I will organize the BBQ for friday. Contact me for any questions. It's no problem to pick you up from the train station or at the border, just let me know. If you need my phone number, send me an e-mail. Hope to see you! --] 14:22, 22 August 2006 (UTC)


I think, under the circumstances, it's best to close what is now the oldest ongoing hold—82 days and counting—and let Poeticbent nominate again when there's time to work on the GAN, since the issues you've raised remain unaddressed. Aside from editing the first Germanization paragraph on December 12, Poeticbent hasn't touched the article since October 16. Can you please post to the review page? Many thanks. ] (]) 16:18, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

== Trembowla ==
Halibutt, as an author of ] you might perhaps help me find an answer to a followig riddle. A friend of my father's has access to some notes of a British pilot (or somebody like that) regarding the Warsaw Uprising. Within them, he found a notice that on 18th August the German's regained control over the "High School on Snakeskin street". Most probably, the "High School" in question is Politechnika, but we are wondering about the "Snakeskin street". This might an attempt at a phonetic transcription of "Śniadeckich" or "Szóstego Sierpnia", but it might as well be a reference to a German name of one of the streets surrounding the Politechnika area. Are you perhaps aware where we could find German names of streets used during the occupation, or maybe have an idea what else could be meant by "Snakeskin street"? Thanks in advance! ], ] - 18:00, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to the second issue of ] newsletter, the Monitor (named after ]).
Thank you for removing your personal attack upon me from ]. A piece of advice would be to read over your writing with a clear mind before hitting that ''save page'' button, it works for me.


Our Project has been operational since 1 June, 2005, and also serves as the Poland-related Misplaced Pages notice board. I highly recommend watchlisting the ], so you can be aware of the ongoing discussions. We hope you will join us in them, if you haven't done so already! Unlike many other WikiProjects, we are quite active; we get close to a hundred discussion threads each year and we do a pretty good job at answering all issues raised. Last year we were ], and our interviewer was amazed at our activity. In the end, however, even as active as we are, we are just a tiny group - you can easily become one of our core members!
--] 01:54, 2 September 2006 (UTC)


In addition to a lively encyclopedic, Poland-related, English-language discussion forum, we have numerous useful tools that can be of use to you - and that you could help us maintain and develop:
here is what I was referring to: ]
* we have an active ]. As of now, our project has tagged almost 83,000 pages as Poland-related - that's an improvement of over 3,000 new pages since the last newsletter. Out of which 30 still need a , and 2,000, . We have done a lot to clear the backlog here (3 years ago those numbers were 1,500 and 20,000, respectively). Can you help assess a few pages?
**assessing articles is as easy as filling in the class= and importance= parameters on the talk page in the <nowiki>{{WPPOLAND|class=|importance=}}</nowiki> template. See ] for a how-to guide.
* once an article has an assessment template, it will appear in ], which provides information on which Poland-related articles are considered for deletion, move, or are undergoing a Good or Featured review. Watchlisting ], in addition to watchlisting our project's main page, is a good way to make sure you stay up to date on most Poland-related discussions.
* you can also see detailed deletion discussions at ] (which is a good place to watchlist if you just want to stay up to date on possible deletions of Poland-related content)
* we have also begun ] quality reviews on our talk page, and if our activity increases, hopefully we will be able to institute our own ] quality reviews. As of now, we have about ]. If you'd like to help with them, instructions for doing B-class reviews are to be found in ]. In addition to this automated list, you are also encouraged to help review articles from our B-class reviews requested list found ].
* also, those articles will be included in our , which allows us to see which top-importance articles are in need for attention, and so on. We have tens of thousands articles in need of cleanup there, so if you ever need something to do, just look at this gigantic list. (I am currently reviewing the articles tagged with notability, either proving them notable or nominating for deletion; there are still several dozens left if you want to help!).
* did you know that newly created Poland-related articles are listed ]. They need to be reviewed, often cleaned-up, occasionally nominated for deletion, and their creators may need to be ] if they show promise as new authors of Poland-related content.
* we are maintaining a ]
* automated ] lists the most popular Poland-related pages from the previous month(s)
* Breaking news: we are looking for a ] for the New York City area. See ] for details.
This is not all; on our page you can find a list of useful templates (including userboxes), awards and other tools!

*You changed ''Warsaw'' to ''Warszawa''. I'm not sure about this. On the one hand our article on the city is called ''Warsaw'' not ''Warszawa''. On the other hand I've looked at a few other cities where the city name has an English variant and railway stations named after the city (eg. Cologne/Koln, Milan/Milano) and they use the english language variant for the city article and the local variant for the station name prefix. So as I cannot establish a consensus amongst myself, I will accept this change (at least for now).
Your upload of ] or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.


This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions ]. Thanks!<!--Template:Un-botfill-null--> ''Message delivered by ] (])'' 13:59, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
*You dropped ''station''. Looking at lots of other station articles, it definately seems to be the convention to include the word station in the name, although there is little consensus on whether it should be ''station'' or ''Station''. Judging by your comment on the move, I suspect this change wasn't the main thrust of your change. So I'm going to add that back in; please get back to me if you strongly disagree.


*Another one of your uploads, ], has also had some information automatically added. If you get a moment, please review the bot's contributions there as well. Thanks!<!--Template:Un-botfill--> ''Message delivered by ] (])'' 14:06, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
Now what are we going to do about ]. Should it be renamed ''Warszawa Centralna station''?. -- ] 11:32, 20 September 2006 (UTC)


== ''The Bugle'': Issue XCV, February 2014 ==
:Hi. Thanks for your reply. Actually I already renamed ] to ] before I saw your reply. Having read your reply, I'm happy to go along with using the local name of the station (eg. ''Warszawa Centralna'' rather than ''Warsaw Central''). I'm still less comfortable with dropping the station though. Whilst this may work for stations in big cities where the fact there is more than one station means that the station has some sort of qualifier (eg. ''Gdańska'' or ''Centralna''), I don't think it works in the general case. Most stations are the only station in the place they are located in, and are therefore named with no suffix. Whilst this works in the constrained railway context (if you are buying a railway ticket, you are likely buying it to a railway station), in WP it leads to an obvious ambiguity between the place (town, village, whatever) and the railway station serving that place. I think for this reason, most articles on railway stations do include the word ''station'' (on wp:en), and I'm loath to do something special for Poland without understanding how we would resolve this issue. -- ] 17:52, 20 September 2006 (UTC)


{| style="width: 100%;"
::Hi. Thanks again for your reply. There is a project (]) which deals with railway related issues. Having looked again, I'm not sure of the scope of the current nnaming standards (are they global or country specific). I need to spend a bit more time (that I don't have right now) looking to be sure. By all means take a look yourself, or make the suggestion.
| valign="top" style="border: 1px gray solid; padding: 1em;" |

::On a different subject, perhaps you can answer my curiosity. On a recent visit to Warsaw, I came across ''Warszawa Śródmieście'' station just to the east of ''Warszawa Centralna'' (not to be confused with the WKD station of the same name just to the west of ''Warszawa Centralna''). On the day I was there, it seemed closed. It also seemed so close to ''Warszawa Centralna'' that I wasn't sure if it was a separate station (in the platforms, trains, etc context), or just a different station building accessing the same platforms. Do you know?. -- ] 10:30, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Battle of Radzymin (1920) - forthcoming TFA

Hello, this is to let you know that I have selected Battle of Radzymin (1920) as today's featured article for December 11, 2012. The blurb (which is at Misplaced Pages:Today's featured article/December 11, 2012) currently looks like this:

Fighting near Radzymin

The Battle of Radzymin, a key part of what later became known as the Battle of Warsaw, took place during the Polish–Soviet War (1919–21). The battle occurred near the town of Radzymin, some 20 kilometres (12 mi) north-east of Warsaw, between August 13 and 16, 1920. The first phase began with a frontal assault by the Red Army on the Praga bridgehead. The Soviet forces captured Radzymin on August 14 and breached the lines of the 1st Polish Army, which was defending Warsaw from the east. Radzymin changed hands several times in heavy fighting. The Russians wanted to break through the Polish defences to Warsaw, while the Polish aim was to defend the area long enough for a two-pronged counteroffensive to outflank the attacking forces. After three days of intense fighting, the corps-sized 1st Polish Army under General Franciszek Latinik managed to repel a direct assault by six Red Army rifle divisions at Radzymin and Ossów. The struggle for control of Radzymin forced General Józef Haller, commander of the Polish Northern Front, to start the 5th Army's counterattack earlier than planned. Radzymin was recaptured on August 15, and this victory proved to be one of the turning points of the battle of Warsaw.

If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask me or one of the other TFA team members (featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs), TFA delegates Dabomb87 (talk · contribs) / Gimmetoo (talk · contribs)) or start a discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Misplaced Pages:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Hope this all makes sense; let me know if not.

Better source request for File:Krzyz Walecznych 1920.jpg

Thanks for your upload to Misplaced Pages:

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 21:02, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Article creation

Hi Halibutt I dont knowe if youre aware of this, but there is an excellent template for aviation article creation at Template:WPAVIATION creator, which uses the latest layouts and specifications templates and removes a lot of the slog of inputting basic article code. Check it out!--Petebutt (talk) 05:00, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

PWS-22 & PWS-23

Hi Halibutt, Excellent to see more polish aircraft articles, but there seem to be some issues with these two:

  1. The subject matter hardly warrants such detailed articles
  2. A single article to cover both would be sufficient as they were VERY closely related and differed mainly in size and engine arrangements, i.e. merge them.
  3. A variants section to explain the differences between the BN3, and T variants.
  4. Try to use your own prose instead of parrotting references.
  5. Avoid adding superfluous details, such as the various competing aircraft which should only get fleeting mentions at best.

Just some suggestions, but if you look at the articles again objectively you may see my points.

Good luck and carry on writing articles.--Petebutt (talk) 15:41, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

Mauthausen-Gusen

Re: this edit; could you add your source to the article as well? //Halibutt 14:10, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I didn't know how to go about it, since it is from 1. Reimer's individual 'german[REDACTED] ' pages, and they told me not to cite wiki as a source. I can add the other source from French if that is acceptable. I presume it must be translated into English for en. wiki. YoursValleyspring (talk) 18:15, 11 July 2013 (UTC)


1. Guido Reimer (* 31. Juli 1901 in Ronsperg; † unbekannt) war ein deutscher SS-Obersturmführer und Kommandeur des SS-Sturmbanns im KZ Buchenwald sowie Leiter der Spionage- und Sabotage-Abwehr im KZ Mauthausen. de.wikipedia, Guido Reimer

2. Krebsbach, Eduard (SS, Standortarzt à Mauthausen de 1941 à 1943, puis commandant du camp de Kaiserwald près de Riga) : capturé en 1945 ; dépose en 1946 dans le procès de Mauthausen ; condamné à mort par un Tribunal américain à Dachau le 5 mai 1946 ; exécuté à Landsberg le 28 mai 1947. (french)

http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/gusenmed.html

Dr. Eduard Krebsbach Between October 1941 and Autumn 1943, he was Chief-Physician of the SS and the Police at Linz, Steyr, Wels and KZ Mauthausen-Gusen. He was the first to start mass-execution of ill and unfit prisoners by heart-injections. So he was nicknamed "Dr. Spritzbach" (Injection-Doctor) in the camps. In January 1942, 732 Spanish inmates and 571 Soviet inmates were exterminated by heart-injections at KZ Gusen Concentration Camp. In general, heart-injections were given at KZ Gusen Camp two times a week until April 1945. The career of Dr. Krebsbach ended at KZ Mauthausen-Gusen when he shot Josef Breitenfellner, a young man from Langenstein-Village who served in the German Army at that time and was home for vacation. Krebsbach shot this German soldier May 22, 1943, on vacation from his private house because he was disturbed by Breitenfellner and his friends. Due to this crime, Dr. Krebsbach was moved from KZ Mauthausen-Gusen to KZ Warwara where he led the selections along with the liquidation of that camp in August 1944. Later, he worked as the Inspector for Epidemies in the occupied countries of Lettland, Estland and Lithuania. The following SS-Doctors refused to give heart-injections at KZ Gusen:

Featuring your work on Misplaced Pages's front page: DYKs

Thank you for your recent articles, including Katerynivka, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Misplaced Pages's main page in the Did You Know section. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK.

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages

Thank you for your recent articles, including Katerynivka. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Misplaced Pages:Article alerts and other tools. This can help you too, as the WikiProject members will often defend your work from deletion and try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information.

File:Rzeczpospolita_1920.png - Katowice and autonomous Silesian Voivodeship joined Poland in 1922 and not before!

Hi Halibutt, I have found an error on your maps regarding Poland (II RP) between 1918 and 1922. Katowice were incorporated into Poland on 22. June 1922 (when polish military came in, rest of area in July). Especially the maps on Polish–Soviet War are affected - at that time autonomous Silesian Voivodeship did not exist and it's area was beyond Polish borders. So please correct the affected maps accordingly. Regards! --Beschu (talk) 22:09, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

re: Nazi crimes against the Polish nation

You chose a difficult one for your first review.

11th Hussars

Hi the British 11th Hussars was a regiment but never the 11th Hussars Regiment. The correct formal name is 11th Hussars (Prince Albert's Own) from 1920s, prior to that 11th (Prince Albert's Own) Hussars. Hope that makes sense. Jim Sweeney (talk) 09:33, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Jewish cemeteries of Warsaw

Could you help clean up that mess? I cannot identify which Polish wiki articles the sections on "Praga Cemetery" and "Nowa Jerozolima Cemetery" may refer; I'd like to at least stub if not DYK all Jewish cemeteries in Warsaw. Pl wiki at pl:Cmentarze żydowskie w Warszawie lists pl:Cmentarz żydowski w Warszawie (Radość) and pl:Cmentarz żydowski w Warszawie (Bródno). I guess that the Praga ones refers to Bródno... sigh, a mess, as I say.

Updated DYK queryOn 18 November 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Maurzyce Bridge, which you created or substantially expanded.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Maurzyce Bridge. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Talk:Nazi crimes against the Polish nation/GA1

Halibutt, Poeticbent continues working on his Treblinka FAC to the exclusion of this nomination—even though the FAC closed a week ago, concentration remains on working the article so a new FAC can be opened in a week's time, at which point even more work will be needed to address issues raised by the review.

I think, under the circumstances, it's best to close what is now the oldest ongoing hold—82 days and counting—and let Poeticbent nominate again when there's time to work on the GAN, since the issues you've raised remain unaddressed. Aside from editing the first Germanization paragraph on December 12, Poeticbent hasn't touched the article since October 16. Can you please post to the review page? Many thanks.

Polish 1st Armored division

Hello Halibutt,

I see you are active on the Polish Military team. I am trying to find original sources on the 1st Polish Armored division and its role in closing the Falaise Pocket in France in August 1944. For example, is there an official history and/or are the battle reports available somewhere?

If you can help me I'd greatly appreciate it!

WikiProject Poland Newsletter • January 2014 • Issue II
For our freedom and yours

Welcome to the second issue of WikiProject Poland newsletter, the Monitor (named after the first Polish newspaper).

Our Project has been operational since 1 June, 2005, and also serves as the Poland-related Misplaced Pages notice board. I highly recommend watchlisting the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Poland page, so you can be aware of the ongoing discussions. We hope you will join us in them, if you haven't done so already! Unlike many other WikiProjects, we are quite active; we get close to a hundred discussion threads each year and we do a pretty good job at answering all issues raised. Last year we were featured in the Signpost, and our interviewer was amazed at our activity. In the end, however, even as active as we are, we are just a tiny group - you can easily become one of our core members!

In addition to a lively encyclopedic, Poland-related, English-language discussion forum, we have numerous useful tools that can be of use to you - and that you could help us maintain and develop:

  • we have an active assessment department. As of now, our project has tagged almost 83,000 pages as Poland-related - that's an improvement of over 3,000 new pages since the last newsletter. Out of which 30 still need a quality assessment, and 2,000, importance assessment. We have done a lot to clear the backlog here (3 years ago those numbers were 1,500 and 20,000, respectively). Can you help assess a few pages?
    • assessing articles is as easy as filling in the class= and importance= parameters on the talk page in the {{WPPOLAND|class=|importance=}} template. See here for a how-to guide.
  • once an article has an assessment template, it will appear in our article alerts and news feed, which provides information on which Poland-related articles are considered for deletion, move, or are undergoing a Good or Featured review. Watchlisting that feed, in addition to watchlisting our project's main page, is a good way to make sure you stay up to date on most Poland-related discussions.
  • you can also see detailed deletion discussions at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Poland (which is a good place to watchlist if you just want to stay up to date on possible deletions of Poland-related content)
  • we have also begun B-class quality reviews on our talk page, and if our activity increases, hopefully we will be able to institute our own A-class quality reviews. As of now, we have about 500 C-class articles in need of a B-class review. If you'd like to help with them, instructions for doing B-class reviews are to be found in point 10 of our assessment FAQ. In addition to this automated list, you are also encouraged to help review articles from our B-class reviews requested list found here.
  • also, those articles will be included in our cleanup listing, which allows us to see which top-importance articles are in need for attention, and so on. We have tens of thousands articles in need of cleanup there, so if you ever need something to do, just look at this gigantic list. (I am currently reviewing the articles tagged with notability, either proving them notable or nominating for deletion; there are still several dozens left if you want to help!).
  • did you know that newly created Poland-related articles are listed here. They need to be reviewed, often cleaned-up, occasionally nominated for deletion, and their creators may need to be welcomed and invited to our project if they show promise as new authors of Poland-related content.
  • we are maintaining a Portal:Poland
  • automated Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Poland/Popular pages lists the most popular Poland-related pages from the previous month(s)
  • Breaking news: we are looking for a Wikipedian in Residence for the New York City area. See Misplaced Pages:GLAM/Józef Piłsudski Institute of America for details.

This is not all; on our page you can find a list of useful templates (including userboxes), awards and other tools!


With all that said, how about you join our discussions at WT:POLAND? Surely, there must be something you could help others with, or perhaps you are in need of assistance yourself?

It took me three years to finish this issue. Feel free to help out getting the next one before 2017 by being more active in WikiProject management :)

Proposed deletion of Midrasz

The article Midrasz has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This unreferenced articles as written fails WP:V and WP:N requirements.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

your maps need upkeep, let me.

Halibutt, you are alive! Thank my lucky stars. Some of your maps need fixing or updating and I was hoping you had the original files I could use instead of hacking what is on commons. Please tell me you are willing to spend some time on this important, neglected maintenance, or at the very least, hand off the goods. Zdrufko, -- Mareklug talk 12:57 am, Today (UTC−6)

About Halibutt

re-posted from user talk:Mareklug#About_Halibutt in its entirety (the section) for transparency, and to meet the user's own wishes regarding factoring correspondence dialogue on user pages that involve him. --Mareklug 09:10, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Yes, he is still somewhat active here. But regarding your comment for him, I recommend you either leave it on his talk page or WP:ECHO him, I'd be surprised if he (or most other voters) would come back to the check for replies to their vote. Would you? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:29, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

I would, since I am a megalomaniacal show-off, hellbent on alienating sensitive people, when I am not influencing the less coruscant (I am trying very hard not to say, the dul^H^H^H). But that is just me, Piotrze. ;) Danke for the advice. --Mareklug 10:55, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Tell me precisely which maps you mean and I might be able to find the original. It all depends on what maps you are referring to. I believe I uploaded the original xcf files of the early maps to commons, so they are there. The newer svg maps are also there, but I might have some different versions at my PC. Let me know the details and I hope I might be able to help. //Halibutt 12:06, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Thank you, but the precise telling will have to wait. I am swamped, and did not budget any time for this, merely ejaculated :) at the sight of you my surprise and need. The maps of Poland, historical maps, are the ones that need to be the best originals you can lay your hands on. I remember having had to alter some texts on the map, or range of colors, or introduce a new color to the legend... stuff like that. --Mareklug 14:21, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
First of all, next time you try to reach me, drop a line to my talk page. I don't visit yours regularly.
Secondly, you either refer to the 18th century maps of Poland or the 20th century maps of Poland. The earlier are made in GIMP and the source file is available for all to use. Sadly, most clones of my maps were made by people who preferred to use MS Paint and modify them by painting with their mouse. And I can do little about it. The 20th century map however was made in vector format from the beginning, and it's much easier to edit and correct. //Halibutt 23:31, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
Thank you. I had in mind the 18th century maps. I will try to manage with what is on Commons for those. Incidentally, I am aware of the pl wiki custom of replying on the responder's user talk page, and so on, without rhyme or reason, but I was following the local custom (en wiki) which embraces the much saner keep-it-all-in-one-place-and-thread approach. When replying to you, however, I will copy the answer to your talk page, as you wish. Thank you for your maps and for taking the time to tell me about them.

I am writing a book on Polish immigration, focusing on a group that emigrated generally from the Rzeszow area to northeastern Pennsylvania. They all became coalminers. I am including a section on the history of Poland, and the reasons the compelled them to leave their homeland. Your map of the partitions of Poland - Partitions of Poland.png (https://en.wikipedia.org/Third_Partition_of_Poland), I would like to include it in the book, though I would like to include it in black and white.
