Misplaced Pages

If you have come here to place a request for a re-confirmation of my adminship, please note that I will either:

• seek community approval of my adminship through an RfC; (no consensus = no change)
• choose to take the matter to ArbComm;
• resign my powers and stand again for adminship;

at my discretion

• once the "six editors in good standing" count has been met using my own criteria
• and the matter concerns my admin powers rather than a non-admin editing concern.

1. Remember, this is a voluntary action, and does not preclude an RfC or RfAr being initiated by others, should others feel they have no recourse.
2. My "good standing" criteria include

a) the requirement that if the user is calling for recall is an admin, the admin must themselves have been in this category for at least a week.

b) the requirement that the user should be neutral towards my person. This means that if a user is or has been involved in a DR procedure with me as a party, I doubt that user is neutral and I reserve the right to not count this editor as "an editor in good standing" in this case. Hint: it's easy to find a neutral party, like mediators - if you can convince them you are right...

c) I reserve the right to impose additional criteria in the future.

A misunderstanding

In your list of Poles you have listed two different people called Józef Bielawski. Now you have a link to Józef Bielawski because I have created an article about him. The problem is that I have created an article about Józef Bielawski - the Islamic scholar and not about Józef Bielawski - the violinist, or Józef Bielawski - the writer. I suggest we create a disambiguation page to solve this problem. Kkrystian 15:25 (UTC) 16 January 2007

Notes in small print

I have a question - how to make a list of notes, or references (like at the end of the Poland prehistory article I'm working on) make appear in small print? Also how to have a date and time automatically appended to the signature (like the one below)?

polish mafia

I do not apreciate you calling the polish mafia nonsencewhen you obiouisly know nothing about it. I'm sure you think you know everything but you don't, you can't prove to me or anyone else that there's not a polish mafia or that it wasn't formed the way that I explained it in my article unless you are a part of it (which I'm not but it made a good story). I took time out of my day to write that story and there are many people that would enjoy reading it but now they don't have the chance to read it because you who obiously know everything deleted it. By the way since you know everything you spelled nonsence, nonesence on the deletion page, GENIOUS. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Virgilv (talk • contribs) 03:05, 1 March 2007 (UTC).

Tag removal

I was a little surprised by your reason for removing the tag I placed on the stub, Mikhail Kovalov. The only intent was to flag a stub in order to encourage editor(s) to improve the article. An external link probably could have been provided in the time it took to remove the tag. Happy editing! --Stormbay 21:13, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

• Your point is well taken! I often tag and watch the article when it is a subject that catches my interest, (as this one did). I often return to work on these articles myself at a later date. I hope that my note above did not sound snippy as I was genuinely curious as to why the tag was removed. Cheers! and thanks for your prompt reply. --Stormbay 21:33, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: Template spam

Ah, there's about three or four different versions of banner-collapsing templates floating around at this point, with people fighting over which one is better, and whether we should be using them at all. ;-)

Go board image: FPC

here's an edit. I didn't upload it onto the FPC because I figured its a bit late in the voting. If you want to put it on there feel free.

I saw the request for a edit of: Image:Go Board, Hoge Rielen, Belgium.jpg. I cut out the background, added some slight color effects to the black pieces and adjusted the color balance. It retains the high resolution of the origenal without the background. A few things to note:

• Instead of croping out the shadow on the lower left of the board I clone stamped over it so the croping is somewhat different.
• The background cutout has no errors or faults that I can see as oposed to the other edit.
• I didn't adjust the color as drasticly as the other for verious reasons but I would be happy to do so if you want.

Copy-edit

I'll give it a light copy-edit ("light" copy-edits aren't really my style, but I'm up to my neck in researching an article at the moment, and I mustn't let myself get distracted). I'll report back once I've done something. (By the way, I'm staggered at how well you and other non-native speakers do in the English language: I have three foreign languages, but I wouldn't have the confidence to write articles on their wikis.

Wesele

May I ask you to move The Wedding (1972 film) to Wesele for the sake of simplicity? There’s no article on the play by Wyspiański and yet, the spoiler for the film reveals its entire plot with ending details. “Wesele” is the original title of the 1901 play by Wyspiański on which movie by Wajda (1972) was based. In case of a naming conflict, the title can be expanded in future articles on the same subject, which is unlikely considering, that the story line is already explained. One good example of a similar simplification is Being There with two paralel meanings. Is a well known movie based on a well known book, combined into one article. Both are closely related.

BTW - The Wedding (2004 film) made by Smarzowski is a modern comedy that has nothing to do with "Wesele" by Wyspiański and the Young Poland movement, or Wajda. It does not have to be disambiguated at par. For example, at the Internet Movie Database it goes by the title "Wesele (2004)" and that's the way it could also be named in Misplaced Pages. Thanks for the understanding. --Poeticbent  talk  23:09, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Lists of Poles

Since discussion isn't getting us anywhere, I'm going to go through these lists and move any name of someone not born in Poland (or living a significant portion of their lives in Poland) and move them to the talk page with a notice that they can be reinserted only if a good source is found describing the person in question as Polish. It's possible I will be met with resistance on several lists. Users have lately been stuffing lists like List of Ukrainians with questionable additions and User:Beaumont has been dealing with that.

Extra Edit Buttons

This is a message to a number of Wikipedians. If you wish to reply to this message please do so on my talk page.

Extra edit buttons has received a significant update today. The most significant change is the introduction of popups for some of these buttons. These are small dialog forms which float over the web page. They allow the user to specify the details of the markup code they want added to the page. For example the popup for the table button allows the user to specify things such as the number of the rows and columns in a table and whether or not there should be a header row. As well as the popups there are some extra buttons and other changes to the way the code works. The documentation for XEB will be updated over the next few days.

This new version also includes an extra button, as requested by yourself, to insert warning templates into a uesr's talk page. The documentation will be updated to cover this button in the next few days

If you have any problems with the new version, or suggestions for XEB then please contact me via my talk page. -- MarkS (talk) 10:01, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Some interesting stuff about Piłsudski

Hi, Piotrus, and sorry for not picking up on previous issues (I'm caught up in some other stuff). Since you seem the Polish contributor most interested in Romanian-Polish connections, and since you have contributed to expanding information about the period I'll be referring to, I thought you would be most capable of evaluating whether this info is noteworthy and where it should fit in articles (if at all).

While I was researching the article on Constantin Stere (I'm only halfway through), I came accross an intersting tidbit on Józef Piłsudski. Presumably, this could be included in the article on the man as well. This is it, in my phrasing:

In 1889, while in Krasnoyarsk, Piłsudski shared his exile with Constantin Stere, a Bessarabia-n born Romanian author and politician. The two remained friends for the rest of their lives; Stere included the Polish leader, under the name Stadnicki, as a character in his account of the Siberian sojourn, the novel În preajma revoluţiei ("On the Eve of the Revolution").

(Feel free to rephrase and split the above as you see fit)

The reference for both sentences is: Z. Ornea, Viaţa lui C. Stere, Vol. I, Cartea Românească, Bucharest, 1989, p.113 (red links are pending articles, so it's best not to remove them if you decide to use it).

I do not want to impose on the article (though I cannot help to notice that it needs several copyedits), and I don't know where in it this info could go (for example, perhaps asection on "Józef Piłsudski in literature" or "in art" or "in popular culture" could be created, but I don't know if you main contributors will consider that probable or necessary). Tell me what you think about. Oh, and in case you decide to use it, please let me know where it is: I haven't finished the Ornea books, and there may be more detail on this later on. Dziękuję.

Filing of request for arbitration re: move of Juozas Lukoševičius to Józef Łukaszewicz

I plan to file a request for arbitration. A mediator at Misplaced Pages:Mediation Cabal/Cases/Possible bad faith in use of citations involved in the move of Juozas Lukoševičius to Józef Łukaszewicz stated that bad faith issues should be handled by arbitration. Novickas 14:19, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Case filed: Novickas 18:55, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Case closed:

Per WP:DR, the steps in disputes are: discuss on the talk page, sleep on it, ask for mediation, ask for arbitration. These steps were followed. My eyes were open: I know that bad faith issues aren't covered in WP policy; the hope was to spur some evolution. Novickas 00:33, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

The page Misplaced Pages:Resolving disputes listed the informal mediation cabal as the step before RFC; the mediator cabalist's comment was "Allegations of bad faith are probably more appropriate for arbitration than mediation." I now see that the cabalist probably meant "Go to RFC as a form of arbitration", but in my inexperience I interpreted the comment as "Go to RFA". Novickas 12:38, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Ukrained

Thanks for your comments, Piotrus. I respectfully disagree, as IMHO, this is indeed a personal attack:

To Irpen: AlexPU was recently blocked for frank discussion of your "Ukrainian patriotism", so I'll refrain from a similar attempt. After all, who knows how many "embedded admins" have you recruited or lobbied (I already know two Russian ones threatening me, and two DYK foreigners that just "look away"). Instead I'll try to concentrate on your permanent breaches of WP rules (yes, this IS threat and warning). But PLEASE DON'T CALL ME YOUR "BUDDY", I CONSIDER IT AS A PERSONAL ATTACK AND TROLLING. Thank you all, Ukrained 21:39, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I explained to him earlier that he should be focusing on discussing the article, not other editors. If this and other comments he made didn't violate WP:NPA, then they certainly violated WP:CIVIL. As for AlexPU, I blocked him for 2 weeks based on his block log (all the blocks were for personal attacks), and the fact that he had just come off a one week-block.

On an entirely different matter, I noticed parts of the Przasnysz article (such as the dates, etc.) are still in Polish. Is there any chance you could translate them to English? Thanks, Khoikhoi 18:53, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

• There are three things going on here. First, Ukrained has been incivil and has edit warred. He needs to be gently informed that this is not acceptable, by someone he will not immediately denounce as being in the cabal (TINC). Piotrus seemed to me like a good candidate for that job. Second, he has concerns with content, and needs help putting his point across without pissing everybody off and getting blocked again. Piotrus can probably help here, too, as Piotrus (unlike me) understands the underlying content issues. No doubt you, Khoikhoi, can also help, but he won't listen to you because you are "in the Cabal" (TINC). Third, he is agitating about being blocked. I think it's a righteous block given his behaviour. I don't believe Khoikhoi was in a content dispute with Ukrained at the time, so I don't see any reason that another admin should have done it, but either way a block was justified. Probably for others, too. So if Piotrus and Khoikhoi can work together perhaps the fighting can be stopped. Guy (Help!) 19:32, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

I wonder whether Piotrus took even time to read Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive212#Personal Attacks by User:Ukrained or he just rushed to defend a user based on the "enemy of my enemy" logic. Anyway, I will make a point of Piotrus' suddenly grown tolerance towards aggressive trolling and will hope that he will extend this not only to pushers of the "right" POV. So, we are to see less of Piotrus' complaints all around Misplaced Pages aimed at sanctioning his content opponents.

Finally, it would be a poor precedent to insist on removing of the blocking admin from the right to deal with the user simply because the user actively trolled the admin in response. There were no edit conflicts whatsoever. There is no evidence that Khoi conspired with anyone either. Otherwise, we open a path to a total immunity by some who simply post "all admins are dicks" at their talk pages. --Irpen 05:30, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Dear friends:

If you have some extra time, I would appreciate if you can take a look to Category:Coats of arms of clans of Poland and Category:Polish nobility coats of arms images, mainly the Talk pages.

Nazwy gmin polskich

Witaj! Mamy duży problem. Lajskonik stworzył listę gmin, napisał gminy jako "Gmina XXX", ale zauważyliśmi, że już są opisane niektóre gminy, tyle, że jako "Gmina of XXX". Moglibyśmy to poprzenościć, ale nie jesteśmy pewni, jak jest. Co ty o tym sądzisz? Marcin Suwalczan 14:56, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

History of Poland

Hi. It looks a lot better, and I think it'll end up being kept. You might want to get someone to give the article a copy-edit to weed out any lingering minor issues. I would help, but I've been swamped with Final Fantasy WikiProject tasks. — Deckiller 17:59, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Military history/Peer review/Soviet invasion of Poland (1939)

The only thing I'd still like to see changed is the "See also" section, but that can likely wait until FAC; so please feel free to nominate the article for A-Class. Kirill Lokshin 18:45, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Help with fixing an image

Hi Piotrus

I just noticed a small error in Image:Podział administracyjny I RP.png uploaded by Commons:User:Poznaniak who apparently doesn't speak any language I know. Could you possibly drop him a small note in Polish? The error is that he has labelled the island of Öland (Olandia) as Danish, however this island has always been Swedish. All other islands are correctly labelled. Happy editing. Valentinian 06:33, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Valentinian 16:44, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Panieri11.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Panieri11.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Misplaced Pages articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Please stop stalking me

After this one I do feel obliged to report a trolling action of an admin. Untill now I did feel free to edit whatewer I felt I had some expertise on, although edit summaries like (tag {{WikiProject Lithuania}} for Lokyz) seems to me like stalking and trying to push me to behave unreasonably. Therefore i do demand deletion of this edit summary and a personal appology with a promise I'll be not stalked in the future.--Lokyz 22:25, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
