In UK however, the system is completely different: a direct equivalent of the Air Regiment is a Group, which is composed of Wings (equivalent to Polish ''Dywizjon'' in command structure, but not in number of planes), which are further divided onto Squadrons (12-15 planes, that is somewhere between a Polish ''Dywizjon'' and ''Eskadra''; roughly equivalent to the latter in terms of command structure). And now comes the toughest part: the British Squadrons are usually composed of two Flights, that are usually translated to Polish as ''eskadra'', while Polish ''eskadras'' are translated to English as escadrilles (pretty much like their French counterparts of 20 planes each). | In UK however, the system is completely different: a direct equivalent of the Air Regiment is a Group, which is composed of Wings (equivalent to Polish ''Dywizjon'' in command structure, but not in number of planes), which are further divided onto Squadrons (12-15 planes, that is somewhere between a Polish ''Dywizjon'' and ''Eskadra''; roughly equivalent to the latter in terms of command structure).

::There's also a question of tradition: people usually write histories of Polish escadrilles (like the 111th in which Skalski fought, or the 7th, better known as "Kościuszko escadrille", because they usually fought independently, at least to some extent, and the Squadron was simply the logistical HQ. At the same time in British armed forces it were the Squadrons to fight independently, with all their Flights fighting together. Hence we have lots of books on 303 Squadron and not on Flight B, while I doubt you would find a single book on the Polish pre-war 3rd Air Squadron. ''< |

Welcome
Hello Appleseed, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- The Five Pillars of Misplaced Pages
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! --Lord Voldemort 21:51, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
Template:Culture of Poland
Tnx for your work on templates, cats and other issues. Any idea how to improve the Template:Culture of Poland sidebar template? For starers, I am sure we can find a better pic... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 21:28, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
- Sounds good. You may want to visit Misplaced Pages:WikiProject History of Poland/Periodization if you haven't found this place yet. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 22:20, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
Categories
Please be more careful when removing categories. Categories are a useful tool to crosslink. Category structure doesn't necessarily have to be a pyramid.

Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_adminship/Halibutt
I think you may be interested in this nomination. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 22:12, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
I would like to express my thanks to all the people who took part in my (failed) RfA voting. I was both surprised and delighted about the amount of support votes and all the kind words! I was also surprised by the amount of people who stated clearly that they do care, be it by voting in for or against my candidacy. That's what Wiki community is about and I'm really pleased to see that it works.As my RfA voting failed with 71% support, I don't plan to reapply for adminship any more. However, I hope I might still be of some help to the community. Cheers! Halibutt 05:10, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks. As to Three Bards - I replied at the article's talk page. Halibutt 12:10, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
Prussian move
It has been pointed out to me that deleting redirects and moving pages should be done through community consensus at WP:RM. While I think it is an overdose of bureaucracy to have to use it all the time, this seem to be the rule.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 03:52, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
- It's at least several months old. Maybe it is not obligatory, but I was advised to seek consensus during the Talk:Międzymorze discussion.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 06:30, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
Sure I could, but actually in this case (List of Polish heads of state since 1918) I think that this list may benefit from expantion with info on first secretaries of Polish United Workers' Party and such.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 23:07, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
- What about copying the current content to president list, restoring other leaders to the head of state lists, and making the president list a subarticle of it? Maybe we can ask for more opinions from our noticeboard. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 23:29, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for your hard work
A proszę :) A przy okazji zdzwilem się, że masz tak pustą userpage - nawet nie używasz Misplaced Pages:Babel? To przydatna rzecz.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 01:29, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
Re:Tools
I am pretty sure some of this is available at Misplaced Pages:Tools and Misplaced Pages:Scripts, but I have not used them myself. If you cannot find them there, try asking about them at the relevant talk pages.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 23:02, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
Categories not needed
You don't need to add Category:Peace treaties to articles tagged with Category:Polish peace treaties, there is a rule that only the most specific categories should be used unless there is some compelling reason to use the more general one's as well - so you may want to revert yourself. Also, try using edit summaries - so we can know what you did without having to check your contribs (I know your edits are good, but sometimes I would like to know what you did - to satifify my curiosity - without having to click through history). Take care, --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 02:48, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- Each subcategory is visible in the parent category page, so I think it is unnecessary. I am trying to find any rule in Manual of Style or Categorization FAQ to prove or disprove, but seems I cannot. I won't revert you, I just think it is unnecessary.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 04:22, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Vandal...
Umm... I would love to, but unfortunately, I am not an Admin. I will see what I can do though. Cheers. --LV 16:34, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- Hey, no worries. For the record, you do not need to be an Admin to welcome people. You could even do it yourself. There are common welcoming templates at {{welcome}}, {{welcome2}}, {{welcome3}}, and maybe a few others. It's just nice to welcome people. I am sorry I couldn't help you out this time, but if you ever have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask. If I can't help you, I can always point you in the right direction. Cheers. --LV 16:44, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- He seems to be gone now. Feel free to report it to Misplaced Pages:Vandalism in progress for quickest admins' assistance. Btw, can you consider adjusting your sig so it would have a direct link back to your talk page?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 17:42, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Kings
Deleted and moved. :) --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 17:02, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Let's wait with Zbigniew for a few days. Perhaps sb will come up with a better idea.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 02:36, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Now look at yourself
On Talk:Partitions of Poland you argue that PoP is more common. But just look what you did six hours ago: moving Henry II of Poland (770 google hits ) to Henryk II the Pious (84 googles ). Do you see any logic here? Renata3 00:35, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
- Oh, boy. You really contradict yourself. Just in the post on my talk page: "I don't believe Google results are the answer to everything" and later "I provide the Google results to prove..." Now, save the excuses, we have more serious stuff to work on.
- PoP is a valid term. But not for the content of the article. It has a much broader meaning (all the WWI & WWII). Disambig page would work perfectly in my mind. You said yourself that nobody argues that PoPLC is the correct term. But people rarely use it since it's 1. long, 2. Poland dominated the PLC and people know Poland better than Lithuania, 3. for a long time nobody gave a darn about political correctness - just favor the strongest and you are gonna be ok, 4. it is not quite agreed how to name it (PLC, Ro2N, Rzescpospolita (or whatever the spelling), or something). I remember in my school we named PLC Rzescpospolita, and then new books came and I saw ATR and I was thinking what is that. And that was Republic of Both Nations (Abieju Tautu Respublika). So yeah, Poland is shorter & more convenient and thus used more widely, but that is a shortcut (with several meanings), not the right thing. But we have redirects (or disambig pages)! Wiki is not paper! Renata3 02:14, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
- Btw, Henry II the Pious seem to get the most: 890 :) Renata3 02:27, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
Santa Jadwiga?
Jadwiga was a queen (and a remarkable one) before she was a saint. Besides, there's a much earlier Saint Jadwiga (for whom Jadwiga had great respect) who has priority to that position. logologist 04:45, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
- Jadwiga got moved by User:Mareczek9. (I had feared she had been moved by you.)
- By the way, do you think the Augusts need the epithets? Some of my sources just call them August II and August III. logologist 07:02, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
Oda
The "Oda von Haldensleben" article needs to be deleted, and the "Ote" article (which is the more complete one) needs to be renamed "Oda von Haldensleben" (if the queen indeed usually goes by "Oda," rather than "Ote," in Polish). Do you know how such operations are done?
I've revised and expanded the related "Dagome iudex" article. logologist|Talk 04:42, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
Request for comment
It may not be up your alley, but very few people have came through RfC I posted about History of the World, and there is a slow but pointless revert war there (see Talk:History_of_the_World#Graph_straw_poll), so I am now down to asking fellow Wikipedians to take a look if you have time and will.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 17:04, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Re:Categories
Hey, I am no lone wolf, I don't go in face of opposition :) To be more specific: people: yes, they have enough cats for now. History and images: no, I will eventually fight for some scheme for events, simply putting them by year category is not enough, and cat History of Poland is way to bloated.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 04:25, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
- Well, I think the categories are ok, but I'd like to keep dates the same as in the corresponding articles (for consistency). If you can make a good argument to changing the chronology scheme (again...) then I won't mind, but until this is done I'd suggest to keep the dates as they are today. Of course, in the case of 1569 vs 1572 there is no good answer so either we toss the coin or just forget about this and go with what we have now (because this is going to come again and again, year after a year...).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 17:00, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
- copied your proposal and my reply to Misplaced Pages talk:Polish Wikipedians' notice board.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 18:01, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
- Since nobody else seems really interested in this, my vote is to use the same dates as on the current history of Poland artices and template. If you disagree, suggest moving them first at our noticeboard, once we decide on whether to move them or not we will create the relevant categories. Sounds good? Also, note that we have Category:Years in Poland. Perhaps some sort of standarization would be in order.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 02:55, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- I agree it's probably an overkill - at least for now. I think that the articles in that section should be moved to your new, larger categories. But whether we should delete them... I don't know.

- Some categories are really a mess, and WWII compared to them is really lean :) Actually I don't mind having a military subcat for that period, as there are things which would not fall into it (łapanka or Auschwitz, for example).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 00:05, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

- Since nobody else seems really interested in this, my vote is to use the same dates as on the current history of Poland artices and template. If you disagree, suggest moving them first at our noticeboard, once we decide on whether to move them or not we will create the relevant categories. Sounds good? Also, note that we have Category:Years in Poland. Perhaps some sort of standarization would be in order.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 02:55, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Category:People's Republic of Poland and similar
I've been thinking :) that this category may actually be useful. Just as we have divided People's Republic of Poland from History of Poland (1945-1989), so their categories may be different. PRP category could be used for things that are specific to the country as the institution. I came up with this idea when I thought that articles like Administrative division of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Offices_in_the_Polish-Lithuanian_Commonwealth may benefit from Category:Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, instead of just being in Category:History of Poland (1569–1795). What do you think?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 00:03, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
- I'd have to think about people. It may be worthwile to ask on our noticeboard about it. As far as Ruthenian princes go, see my post in the noticeboard where I listed some people who probably should be removed from that cat.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 02:20, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

And then are the talk pages templates, like Polish CoTW or Military of Poland Wikiproject ones.

Wielkopolska Uprisings
What do you think about User:Halibutt's moving of the Wielkopolska Uprisings to "Greater Poland Uprisings"? It jars on me.
I agree with you: we should use English equivalents for general Polish terms, e.g. "chancellor" for kanclerz. On the other hand, I'm opposed to "translating" proper names, including geographic ones such as Wielkopolska. (The only translation of a Polish geographic name that I'm still tolerating, for now, is of Warszawa as "Warsaw," simply as acknowledgment of the world's inertia.) logologist|Talk 09:54, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Battle of Raszyn / Radzymin in 1920
Hello. I'm deleting the redirect from Battle of Raszyn (1920) to Battle of Radzymin (1920). It seems that Raszyn and Radzymin are different places in Poland, aren't they? My question is: was there at all a battle at Raszyn in 1920? What links here shows a lot of articles linking to Battle of Raszyn (1920); should these all be changed to Battle of Radzymin (1920)? I have to say, I didn't even know that there was a war between Russia and Poland then, so I have no idea how to proceed. Cheers, Jitse Niesen (talk) 23:27, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

WP:POLMIL
Hi there! You might want to know that the good ol' Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Polish Army has been restarted, this time as WP:POLMIL, a part of the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Military history. As the main tasks of the previous WikiProject have been fulfilled (both Polish-Bolshevik and Polish Defensive wars are now featured), we might want to start yet another quest for some holy grail. Any ideas? Halibutt 14:48, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

We were discussing resitance to the application of Wladyslaw Jagiello's name of Jogaila, prior to the Union of Krewo, on his talk page March 9th and 10th. I have since corrected it, in the appropriate sections of the History of Poland. Dr. Dan 01:23, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Moving articles
regarding your moving of "Polish capture of Kiev", please do not move articles unilaterally. Propose first at talk and wait a bit for responses.

It may be a good idea to list all campaignboxes (lists of battles...) in Category:Battles of Poland. 2 are already there.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 20:27, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
- I think it would be nice to have all the boxes in one place, kind of like the List of Polish battles article. If not there (or in addition to), we could add them to the List of Polish wars and redirect the battle list there. Such a list would be nicer than the normal bulleted list, don't you think so?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 20:53, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

I think it would be better if you removed it, since you are the author of the article, and added it in the first place. Later you can readd it, if appropriate. Seems more logical and fair to me.

Categories
Thanks for letting me know. Frankly speaking I don't think it's a good idea, as it's easier to add one category for the entire campaign than several categories separately, but if you're going to take care of all the articles, then it's fine with me. //Halibutt 17:56, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Town categorization
Hello Appleseed! I noticed you were removing the categorization spelling of various localities in Poland (ie "Category:Towns in Poland|Sroda Slaska" to just "Category:Towns in Poland"). In case you are unaware, Misplaced Pages's current categorization spelling system puts diacritics at the end of the alphabet, which means that by default Środa Śląska would be categorized not under "S", but in "Ś" which comes after "Z" (see ). Categorizing the article as "|Sroda Slaska" alphabetizes it as an "S" article, while the proper spelling with diacritics is listed at Category:Towns in Poland. Olessi 23:07, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
- I am not aware of an official policy to categorize without diacritics, but it is an informal style that I usually see for lists where diacritics are sometimes the first letter in a name (Category:Cities and towns in the Czech Republic, Category:Cities in Croatia, Category:Towns in Croatia, Category:Cities and towns in Slovakia, etc.). It's not the ideal situation, but it makes things easier for an uninformed English-speaker who probably would not think to look for Łomża after Z, which is how the current software would depict it, unfortunately.

Prussian Homage
Hello Appleseed! Thanks for the clarification and correction. You already had Treaty of Kraków/Krakow redirecting there, so I'll add a mention of it to the article at the relevant space. One question however... The article states the Homage occurred on 10 February and you said the Treaty commenced two days beforehand.
- My copy of Desmond Seward's The Monks of War says Albert signed the Treaty on 8 April and paid homage to the king the next day (9 April).
- William Urban's The Teutonic Knights: A Military History dates the oath of allegiance to 10 April. *This German link says Albert gave his oath on 9 April.
- The German wiki's de:Preußische Huldigung article says 10 February, while its de:1525 page says 10 April.
- The Polish pl:Hołd pruski article seems to indicate April (Kwiecień?) and the dates 8/10, but I don't speak Polish...
Any ideas of which source has it right? Olessi 00:01, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for investigating. I'll try to add the sources for the date within the next few days. Olessi 02:17, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the support for my recent contributions. I'm not sure how much free time I'll have in the near future, but I'm planning on adding and correcting information on the Northern Crusades (especially relating to the Wends/Polabian Slavs and the Prussians). I'll certainly try to assist you with 14th and 15th century battles if I have any information in my books. Olessi 00:00, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
List of Polish monarchs
Thank you as well for your kind words. I got so involved not only because I understand the implications for Poland (and the sane reasoning of Polish contributors), but also because the counter-proposal, which rests between sophistry and sheer imbecility, would have immense, unchecked, and unnatural effects in countless other areas.

- Augustus III is a Polish monarch with an Anglo-German style name with no diacritics in it. Common usage states that this is the form of his name.
- Regardless of the vote, it would be moved to the location I put it at. I wouldn't contest any of your moves that are covered by convention, so you must realize that this one is covered by convention. Charles 18:31, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Appleseed, please stop moving that page against the guideline clearly set at the Naming Convention for european nobility an royalty; Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (names and titles). Non-compliance may lead to your blocking or even banning. Henq 18:32, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

- Rather than discussing if the proper name was unacceptable or not, you unilaterally moved it back without regard for English usage.

National anthems
Where is the discussion going to be held? Charles 00:10, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
- It really is a case-by-case issue. I am not aware of the names of many national anthems without looking at the category, but those are so language-specific that they should be kept in their native forms unless there is a specified English variant. For instance, there is Pour l'Afrique et pour toi, Mali (For Africa and for you, Mali). While the song itself has a translation, I doubt one would sing it that way. It merely explains the meaning. The song itself exists in French. The naming of anthems is a delicate balance of meaning, translation and English usage (if any). Aside from placing every anthem at National anthem of... , this in particular is an issue I feel shouldn't have a naming convention or mass change made. They should be treated as all famous songs on Misplaced Pages are (left in their only language or official language). Charles 00:22, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
- If it is typically referred to in English by an "English" form of the name (with or without diacritics) then I believe that is the appropriate place for it. It varies a lot from anthem to anthem... I did a very quick Google seach and there is a fair bit of reference to "Dąbrowski's Mazurka", which I feel is a fairly acceptable title. It very much is a case by case issue. Charles 00:38, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
- There are more English results for "Mazurek Dabrowskiego", without the modified a, although it is almost a close run. I would support and prefer a move to Mazurek Dabrowskiego, but am not decided on Mazurek Dąbrowskiego, which, although is nearly identical, is not used as often. Charles 02:34, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not exactly sure... For instance, ä and ae are the same thing in Google, but ä isn't equal to a in Google. It seems this is not the case for Polish letters, which are equal to their unmodified counterparts in Google. Do they constitute seperate letters or are they merely modified? For instance, the French alphabet is abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz, but there are letters such as é, â, ë, ç etc. I believe those are equal to e, a, e and c respectively in Google. Charles 02:47, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for asking. Shortly: my ear says that "the Dabrowski Mazurka" (definite article should not be in article name, but always when in sentences, "the" should be included) would be best in, how do I say that, "sounding like English". A subjective feeling, I admit. Advantage: you avoid that lousy genitive 's, which may be shitty to handle.
What is important in determining what name to use in English Misplaced Pages, is: what actually is used in English literature, texts and other encyclopedias. As far as I know, there is no other rule here for naming national anthems than the general rule "use English, use common name as used by English-speakers". Naming of royals and nobles certainly does not come into this (even if Dabrowski were a prince or something, it just is not used commonly in this name). When making a google check, I somehow found that any version with that diacritical a is much rarer than analogous version without diacritic. So that's common English usage. Suits me well, because I oppose unnecessary, and also too difficult, diacritics. But if some word is overwhelmingly used in English with diacritics, I would swallow my opposition. That is not the case with this - clearly, variants without diacritic are common. If you have respectable works of reference in English to use (such as Encyclopedia Britannica and others...) you may wish to cnsult what is used there.
Mazurka certainly is the term used for that part in english. And between "Dabrowski's.." and "Dabrowski Mazurka", somehow my google finds speak for the simpler one, without genitive. Shilkanni 11:04, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

It does not have a good translation maily because it is not a popular word in everyday language. It is more or less exclusively used for the COA. But it does not mean "a chase" or "a pursuit." It describer a person, "a chaser," "a pursuer," "a charging knight." I personally prefer "charging knight" because it is descriptive: vytis means a knight, but not a regular knight - one in action. I don't think "chaser" makes much sense in English, I don't think this word is udes to describe a knight, a solder. "Pursuer," I think, is somewhat better, but I don't think it conveys the full meaning. But that's only my personal preferences. Renata 22:07, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Template:Presidents of Poland
Hello. Do you think it might be appropriate to put some note between the names of Bierut and Jaruzelski to note that they were not direct successors? Maybe "office abolished", "office superseded by Chairman of the Polish Council of State", or what have you. Just a thought–do tell me your opinion. Biruitorul 03:54, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
Appleseed, I agree that the template should be kept simple, which is why I only put two words in there, plus a link to the Council of State. I think that strikes an effective balance–it keeps things relatively straightforward, while readily providing useful information to English-language readers, most of whom are probably unfamiliar with that detail of Polish history. In sum: can those two words stay? Biruitorul 20:34, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
OK, wonderful. Biruitorul 01:55, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Escadrille
You're not the first one to ask me that question. No wonder, generations of translators have mistaken British "Squadron" for Polish "Szwadron". While originally the meaning was the same (a sq. of cavalry), when it comes to air forces the terms become false cognates. In short, Polish and British air force traditions are incompatible. In Poland the structure was modelled after the structure of other branches of the military, and after the French air forces. Hence we have Air Regiments (pułk lotniczy) composed of roughly four Squadrons (Dywizjon), each composed of two Escadrilles (10 planes each). So, in short, the Polish inter-war air regiment had roughly 80 planes (in reality usually around 100).
In UK however, the system is completely different: a direct equivalent of the Air Regiment is a Group, which is composed of Wings (equivalent to Polish Dywizjon in command structure, but not in number of planes), which are further divided onto Squadrons (12-15 planes, that is somewhere between a Polish Dywizjon and Eskadra; roughly equivalent to the latter in terms of command structure). And now comes the toughest part: the British Squadrons are usually composed of two Flights, that are usually translated to Polish as eskadra, while Polish eskadras are translated to English as escadrilles (pretty much like their French counterparts of 20 planes each).
Did I answer your question, or was I lost somewhere along the road? :) //Halibutt 16:54, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- There's also a question of tradition: people usually write histories of Polish escadrilles (like the 111th in which Skalski fought, or the 7th, better known as "Kościuszko escadrille", because they usually fought independently, at least to some extent, and the Squadron was simply the logistical HQ. At the same time in British armed forces it were the Squadrons to fight independently, with all their Flights fighting together. Hence we have lots of books on 303 Squadron and not on Flight B, while I doubt you would find a single book on the Polish pre-war 3rd Air Squadron. //Halibutt 21:38, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Polish nobily, Polish heraldry and Categories 2
Dear Appleseed:
Let me explain better. If you put the subcategories in alphabetical order, as they are right now, you have three of them appearing in the first page altogether and the other two ones separated , one in the second page and the last in the third page. This two subcategories are quite hidden between a large number of names. In this particular -Category:Polish nobility- may be useful to have the subcategories just as –Category:Polish nobility|(blank space)- and not as –Category:Polish nobility|Royalty- . Then will be all of them in the firs page easily findable altogether.
It is just an idea. Best regards Gustavo Szwedowski de Korwin 03:36, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Move warring
Appleseed, I saw you indulge in disruptive activities, such as move warring. You failed to present any evidence that Expedition to Kiev is better than Polish Expedition to Kiev. There were numerous expeditions against and sieges of Kiev in history. Your pet title does not make it clear which "expedition to Kiev" it was. If unsubstantiated disruption continues, short blocks will ensue. --Ghirla 08:01, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Polish wiki
Why don't I like Polish wiki? There's plenty of reasons. You might want to take a look at my Polish WP user page to see why did I leave the Polish wiki some time ago. However, there's much more things there:
- Bad Polish. Simply, the place is a mess and people do not care for proper style at all. It would take ages to correct all the errors there. I know it's fault of the Polish education system and not the Polish wiki as such, but that doesn't make much of a difference, does it.
- Disregard for the rules of WP. No NPOV, no peer reviews, no inline citations, not even citation templates. It's a wild west (or wild east) and nobody really cares.
- Constant struggles for power. Self-promoted gurus bashing new-commers, admins explicitly stating in content disputes that they are right because they are admins and no further discussion is required... basically, Polish wiki is a zoo. And I lack patience to visit zoos.
- POV. Not that English wiki was free of POV (<put some user name here> for instance), but Polish is far worse since nobody really cares. The more articles they have the better, who cares about quality.
- Low credibility. There's too much self-promotion there, too much ads and too many articles that would've been instantly deleted on en wiki, but are left in pl wiki.
All in all, I believe that the Polish wiki, while at times interesting and helpful, in many respects presents all the worse things in all wikipedias.
Besides, of course there are personal reasons as well. For instance, being a journalist myself I don't really have to feed my scribbling with Polish wiki (scribbling is an addiction), I have my jobs to do it instead. //Halibutt 21:55, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

RfC
Thank you for your message; I do prefer this kind of dispute resolution above a public display of throwing punches. Now I think both you and Piotrus did not read my original statement correctly. I said there were nationalist feelings on *both* sides, but that in that particular time there had been a lot of either pro-Polish and/or anti-Russian edits (as I already mentioned there were a lot of categories created that identified Ingria as an independent country (which it never had been), and several other incidents as well). Piotrus called that unfounded, where he should have asked me for examples, which I would have given gladly. And because Piotrus is an admin, he should have known better than to respond in this way, especially with someone you have never met on talk pages before.
Now as for the threat by Piotrus: Piotrus has a way with words, but it is still a threat, because I have no doubt Piotrus would himself be the first to start the RfArb, or ask someone to do it for him. I'm sorry, I really can't read it any other way, especially not after his request that other admins reprimand me. In football, asking for a yellow card gets rewarded with a yellow card for the asking party, and for good reason. If other admins thought what I had written was wrong, they would have acted on their own accord; asking for other admins to reprimand another user when you haven't even talked to that user is a totally reprehensible action as far as I'm concerned. Piotrus in that moment failed to assume good faith on my part and I was (and still am) very much offended by Piotrus' actions. Errabee 17:12, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Whimsical moving
You've been told before to desist from unilateral moving and now this spree again. This is an extremely counterproductive, especially since it created an artificial history to a redirect that is a strong candidate for the title of the contested article. How difficult is it to propose things at talk? Please do not engage into this activity. --Irpen 22:26, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- I didn't realize fixing the hyphenation would be so problematic for you. Appleseed (Talk) 22:29, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- Hyphenation itself is not problematic for me, while it may be for some. Artificial history of the redirect page is. I don't care actually about hyphens as I am not an orthography freak. Moves, unlike edits, create all sorts of unexpected consequences and I have repeatedly asked you to bear this in mind, a request that you repeatedly defied. --Irpen 22:34, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- I happen to think orthography is important; does that make me an "orthography freak"? As for changing the redirect history, it slipped my mind. I don't expect it to be a problem, however, since any controversial (read: not orthographic) moves of that page will have to go through WP:RM anyway. As for your "repeated requests", I recall one request from you to propose controversial pages moves on the talk page, and I obliged you. (Interestingly, you didn't hold Ghirlandajo to that same standard when he later reverted my move.) You never mentioned anything about the unintended consequences of page moves. Please don't blow things out of proportion or invent past conflicts that never were. Appleseed (Talk) 23:02, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Moves, unlike edits, create all sorts of unexpected consequences and I have repeatedly asked you to bear this in mind, a request that you repeatedly defied. --Irpen 22:34, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
First, I did not intend to move the page unilaterally anyway and was intending to propose the move. If you know of any controversial unilateral moves made by me, feel free to raise them. Then, I am not saying that everyone who cares about dashes are orthography freaks. All I am saying is that I am not and I do not, as long as the sign remains a dash and not a slash or and =. You are aware that the name that is there only because Piotrus picked it at some point is now hotly contested. That is enough to not do any article moves without proposing at its talk. You chose instead to move and create a history to the redirect that was not there. I am asking you not to move the contested article next time and this is not an unreasonable request. --Irpen 04:20, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- First, I have not accused you of making unilateral moves (I'm not sure how you came up with that), so that's a moot point. Also, let me say it again: the redirect history slipped my mind, but it shouldn't create any problems. No harm, no foul. Next, I still fail to see why moving an article to make a minor orthographic correction has any bearing on the fact that the content (not orthography) of the article title is under discussion in talk. Finally, can you explain what you mean by "You are aware that the name that is there only because Piotrus picked it at some point is now hotly contested."? Appleseed (Talk) 04:33, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
There is harm in redirect history. While the imposing one's opinion on the community by forcibly moving article is prohibited, a formal WP:RM voting is not required for moves either. If all concerned and involved parties informally discuss the issue at talk and come to an agreement, such agreement is much more valuable than the raw results of WP:RM vote that may be affected by stray voters with no clue of the issue who give their little informed votes. However, now the existence of the history necessiates WP:RM. So, yes, it matters.
As for the phrase you asked to explain, the matter is that the name is anachronistic since the term Muscovy is applied in the article to the time 100 years past the Grand Duchy of Moscow. While some sources repeat that mistake, the majority of them use the term Russia. Perhaps, Polish sources differ and that's why Piotrus picked the name. Also, perhaps, Piotrus is not aware of the global POV implications of misaplying the M word anachronistically. I am not saying that all authors who use the term for the 17th century are doing so for the POV reasons but the term is wrong at best and offensive at worst. --Irpen 05:31, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- If it means so much to you, I will propose even the most minor changes at talk before moving articles that you're interested in. However, if you hold me to that standard, I expect you to hold your friends to the same. If you turn a blind eye to actions such as Ghirlandajo's forced move of Kiev Expedition to "Polish Expedition to Kiev" and blatantly ignore me like you did here, consider out agreement void. No more double standards.
- Regarding "Muscovy", that discussion belongs on the article talk page, not here, since my move had nothing to do with the content of the title. Appleseed (Talk) 14:50, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
As for Muscovy, the discussion does take place at the article's talk. As for notifying about the moves no matter how minor ones, well, I would say that even though the mere typo correction in the title may be trivial enough to not require the warning, if the move is followed by salting the earth action, it is not a minor one. In that move in question, Ghirla did not salt the earth. --Irpen 21:10, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- I can't win, can I? If I don't fix the double redirects, people complain. If I do, which is my habit, you complain about "salting the earth". As for Ghirlandajo, he "salted the earth" by forcing the page into move protection at his preferred title. See how that works? Appleseed (Talk) 21:21, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
I complain not because you fixed dbl redirects but because you salted the earth. As for Ghirla, the article was forced into move protection by a move war at which several parties took part. That the war could possibly have happened is the proof that he did not salt the earth. As for your not "winning", this is not about winning. This is about reaching consensus, when possible, or at least not aggravating further the situation where the discussion is already heated. --Irpen 21:25, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- The "move war" was between Ghirlandajo and myself. He moved the page. I moved it back and asked him to use talk. He refused, moved the page again, and started his insults (for your convenience). As I've stated several times, I am always open to discussion. I am not dead set on "Kiev Expedition" or "Kiev Expedition (1018)". The problem is that there was no "heated discussion"; there was no discussion whatsoever because Ghirlandajo refused to participate. From the recent RM it is clear that my proposed title is not ideal. It is also clear that some are not happy with the current title. And so the page will remain at its current location thanks to a technicality, and the only person who has "won" is Ghirlandajo. Do you call that consensus?
- Also, what is the difference between fixing double redirects and your notion of "salting the earth"? I was under the impression that they're the same thing? What are you complaining about if not the redirects?
I am not to comment on the events that took place after your and Ghirla move war. Suffice is to say, that your taking it to PAIN and the drama that followed was the final straw that caused the deletion of that disgusting board. Piotrus' activity at WP:RFI helped me convince the majority to delete that one as well. This shortcut you both use to go various places to seek for blocks of your content opponents is beyond pale and I said everything there is to it at Misplaced Pages:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Requests for investigation and Misplaced Pages:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Personal attack intervention noticeboard. More was said here, here, here, here and perhaps 4 or 5 other places.
Fixing a double redirect is always salting the earth, true. It's playing with moves of the hotly contested titles is what makes a difference. Fix all the redirects you want where it does not matter. Do not move articles when the discussion takes place at its talk until such discussion concludes. Your salting the earth does not allow to move it back and continue from where we where. That is what makes a difference. --Irpen 08:14, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
- As I've already said, I'm willing to go out of my way for you regarding page moves if you can get your allies to behave reasonably. As for you "interesting" interpretation of what happened at WP:PAIN and elsewhere, it would help if you got your facts straight before drawing conclusions from them. I've only posted to WP:PAIN once, for starters. And I never got any complaints from anyone (other than you, of course) about that "final straw" or my other "high crimes and misdemeanors".
- Anyway, I think enough has been said on this topic. Let's not drag this out any further. Appleseed (Talk) 14:14, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Codziennie sprawdza moje edycje, włącza się w moje dyskusje z innymi osobami, manipuluje faktami. Sprawa dotycząca User:R9tgokunks\User:LUCPOL została rozwiązana na RFI, udowodniłem że nie dokonałem żadnego wandalizmu itp. i że tekst R9tgokunks/Hrödberäht jest mistifikacją. Trzeba uważać na tego usera, choćby dlatego że on miał w ciągu ostatnich 2-3 miesięcy ze 20 różnych wojen edycyjnych (+ czyste wandalizmy np. usuwanie postów innych osób gdy są nie po jego myśli).

Dunajec
UNESCO World Heritage Centre Tentative Lists contains a spelling mistake in the name of Dunajec river. Would you care to find out how to correct it there? I made the correction already at the List_of_World_Heritage_Sites_in_Poland.
The spelling mistake is repeated again in the title of the UNESCO Tentative Lists submission, prepared by Michal Sokolowski . However, if you look at his copy you'll find that the name Dunajec is spelled there properly. UNESCO World Heritage should be notified about that. Thanks. --
Not to worry. I have sent an e-mail already to:

Templates with categories
I saw your note to Piotrus; articles which have both a common category and a common list article can be dealt with by using ], which will also put the article in the category. See Template talk:otherarticles for more. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 22:52, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Maps
Thanks for the comments. To make these maps, I used the blank maps available at http://www.ieg-maps.uni-mainz.de. Taking a high-resolution no-text PDF files available there, I converted it to a very-high resolution PNG image using GIMP. Then I imported this PNG image into Inkscape and converted it to SVG format. You need a very high-resolution PNG image in order for Inkscape to identify the border divisions correctly. - 52 Pickup 19:38, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Medical Advice
Nice of you to give Novickas your "own" advice (see:User talk:Dr. Dan : Request - 02.21.07), approximately eleven days after she asked me a question regarding her family's health situation. From personal experience and training, I know that the medical profession in Poland is much more timely in their responses in crisis intervention than your own "kibbitzing" demonstrates. And for your own edification and peace of mind, I responded to Novickas, privately and immediately, right after she wrote me. In the future, please give such advice like the kind that you gave her, at the appropriate talk page, not on mine. But it's comforting to know my talk page is under your "radar".

Psalter again
I should have told you there is now a proposal at CfD to rename the category to "illuminated psalters", just so the plain "cat:psalters" can be added on top for the non-illuminated ones (the lazy way to do it, I wrongly thought), which I hope will be ok with you.

Heritage Sites in Poland
I noticed you do most of the maintenance on List of World Heritage Sites in Poland. I have a couple of questions for you. First, on February 13, 2007, you indicated in your edit summary that you'd like to have an article written on Zamość Old Town (nominated as World Heritage Site in 1992). However, if you look at the history of Zamość article you'll see that on February 17, 2007, User:Joey80 added {{Infobox World Heritage Site}} there, with all applicable data. It is very unlikely that a separate article will ever be written under such circumstances. I’d like to know if you believe that a separate article should still be written regardless of its repetitious nature. If not, you might want to consider removing the red link from the list.
The same can be said about Toruń Old Town (1997). If you look at the history of Toruń article you'll see that User:Joey80 added yet another {{Infobox World Heritage Site}} there on 17 February 2007. I'm afraid there's no hope for a new article with content already well explained somewhere else. --Poeticbent talk 22:27, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hello Poeticbent, I think every WHS should have its own article. Nothing in WP is set in stone, so there's no reason why we can't move Joey80's infoboxes to the new articles after someone (perhaps you?) creates them. Appleseed (Talk) 00:03, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
I’m afraid you might have misunderstood my intentions. The heritage infoboxes are just the tip of an iceberg. In fact the two articles I mentioned have their UNESCO status as the main focus - which cannot be helped. Personally, I don’t like the look of any of those infoboxes and I wouldn’t want them around if it was up to me. However, my only suggestion to you was to remove the two red links. --Poeticbent talk 03:07, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hello Poeticbent, I'm sorry my response was not clear. I think the red links should stay. Appleseed (Talk) 21:24, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- I think I've found the most satisfactory solution. Take a look. --Poeticbent talk 13:58, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
About Polish clans, Polish families and Polish coats of arms
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.
There is an Italian wikipedian, who knows nothing about Polish history and Polish szlachta and he is rearranging the categories in Category:Coats of arms of Poland
In commons he is User:G.dallorto
My point of view may have some mistakes but I would thank you very much your thought and your discussion on this issue.
As today I got few time I am sending this same message to:

Psalters again
Hi, Can you confirm if Oktoikh and indeed Oktoih are/means psalters, as I think? also which of these two actually was the earliest printed Cyrillic book - presumably the Russian?
Thanks Johnbod 04:21, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Missals
Yes that's good, thanks for letting me know. I wonder if some of the Sacramentaries in the illuminated MS category would also qualify? Not sure. Have you seen Misplaced Pages:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_March_24#Famous_and_Rare_bibles? I'm suggesting a category for "Early printed Bibles" or similar. Johnbod 22:43, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hi, I noticed the new category when you put the Stowe Missal into it. I wonder if this a coherent category. You seem to be mixing quite separate types of things. Four of the articles are about specific manuscripts, one is about an edition of the Missal, three are about types of Missals, and one is the parent article. Dsmdgold 03:10, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- The alternative would be a structure like Psalters or even Bibles, but there are a lot fewer of these. Personally I think it's fine as it is with the present number of articles; they are categorised in other ways too, like the illuminated MS ones. Johnbod 03:17, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

About a new category
Dear Appleseed:
I would like to rearrange the categories concerning coats of arms of Poland similar to the commons Coats of arms of Poland.
As you know well, "Polish coats of arms" in this context, really means "Polish nobility coats of arms" or "Polish clans coat of arms" or Category:Coats of arms of families of Poland, as wish the commons naming criteria, so is linked with Kategoria:Herby szlacheckie and the {commonscat|Coats of arms of families of Poland} do match.
Actually ALL the articles in this category refers to "Polish clans coat of arms" and not to "civic" (województwo, powiat, gmina, miasto, wieś, uniwersytetów, kościoła, wojskowa and so on) symbols or coats of arms.
I would like to create a Category:Polish coats of arms or something like this to include the “civic and other” ones in it.
Certainly, we will be in touch. Best regards my friend

Warsaw Confederation dab page.
I feel that this dab page is a bad solution. It seems to me that the confederation of 1573 is much more important than the one in 1704. So users typing in Warsaw Confederation should end up with the article for 1573. Accessibility for the 1704 article should be maintained with a hatnote using the {{for}} template.

Hello Targeman! Thank you for your contributions related to Poland. You may be interested in visiting Portal:Poland/Poland-related Misplaced Pages notice board, joining our discussions and sharing your creations with us.
- Hi, and my pleasure! I don't remember doing a whole lot of work on anything Poland-related, but it's nice to see someone appreciates what I did ;-) However, I'm pretty much out of touch with Poland, haven't been there for ages, and I don't know the country very well, so I'm really not the best-qualified person to ask for help. I'll continue to edit bits and pieces, but I'm hardly a good source of info. Thanks anyway! :-) --Targeman 17:03, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:New Connect.gif
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:New Connect.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Misplaced Pages 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 non-free media 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Likewise, for the both of you! This behaviour will be reported if it starts or continues. Those article were moved undiscussed by the both of you (AS and Piotr) undiscussed and with shady or insufficient reasoning to do so. Charles 22:33, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- Original title, but not correct for English. It is a historical entity. And it doesn't matter where it originally was, the move to English is supported by WP:UE and you reverted without an edit summary almost immediately after. Seems insufficient to me. Charles 23:04, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Appleseed, you may want to look at Talk:Free City of Kraków where we are discussing the correct naming.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 20:36, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
- Charles is clearly upset, but he has calmed down. He feels himself sorely tried, and with some reason. There are liars and sophists on both sides in this; but I know which I find most annoying myself - although it's close. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 21:54, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
- I have nade a report to WP:AE on this matter; since I have used one of your diffs, you may want to look in. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 20:37, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- I have removed it; it was intended to forestall a line of argument which has not developed. As for AE, what else do you suggest? It is less than a month since the request for calm was made; and those two are not calm or helpful - and they upset other editors. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 17:23, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
- I have nade a report to WP:AE on this matter; since I have used one of your diffs, you may want to look in. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 20:37, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
I will have a word with Charles; but I don't think he is the root of the problem. I've seen him in other contexts; and he is quite reasonable when he doesn't think he is dealing with incivility and sophistry. As to what has led him to that impression... I think the answer is on record. And no one should have to deal with comparisons with Auschwitz. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 20:20, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
- Please notice the title of my contribution to AE. Charles, when calm, is a useful editor. My grievance is with the other two, who are much worse. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 20:30, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
- For the record, I do not agree with Charles' evident sentiments; I think he is unfair to another useful editor. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 20:31, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
