Image copyright problem with Image:1660 Polish Russian War.PNG

Thanks for uploading Image:1660 Polish Russian War.PNG. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Misplaced Pages's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

The following images also have this problem:

• Image:Alfredo Stroessner military.jpg

I've nominated the EVE Online category for renaming

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

Assistance with Tank

As a long-time FA producer, I wonder if you could please help me with tank. I'm trying to get it back to FA quality.

Talerhof

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

In-universe and notability

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

Horodlo Union

Czołem waszmości.
Właśnie próbuje coś zrobić z tym artykułem i jeśli mogę, proszę Cię o tłumaczenie kilku zdań z tekstu unii (domyślam się że całość to jednak zbyt wiele). Zależy mi na zdaniach:
"...wszakże chcąc ziemie owe litewskie i Królestwo Polskie starają się zburzyć i knują ich zniszczenie, w większym bezpieczeństwie i obronie postawić oraz zapewnić im wieczny pożytek, ziemie te, które zawsze pełną władzą i wszelkim prawem dotąd posiadaliśmy i posiadamy od przodków naszych i z porządkiem urodzenia naszego, jako prawy pan – z wolą i zgodą panów, szlachty i bojarów rzeczonemu Królestwu Polskiemu powtórnie znowu wcielamy do wnętrzności kładziemy, przywłaszczamy, złączamy, przyłączamy, sprzymierzamy i na wieki przywiązujemy."
..."Panowie, szlachta i bojarowie ziem naszych litewskich mają na równi z panami i szlachtą Królestwa Polskiego używać i korzystać ze wszystkich udzielonych im przez nas nadań i przywilejów, o ile są katolikami i poddanymi Kościoła Rzymskiego oraz mają nadane klejnoty herbowe."
..."Ustanowione będą na wieczne czasy dygnitarstwa, krzesła i urzędy podług tych które są w Królestwie Polskim, mianowicie wojewoda i kasztelan w Wilnie, Trokach i w innych miejscowościach podług uznania i woli naszej."
..."Po śmierci Aleksandra, czyli Witolda, obecnego w. Księcia litewskiego, panowie i szlachta litewscy nikogo innego nie wezmą ani wybiorą na wielkiego księcia i pana Litwy, lecz tylko tego, kogo król polski lub jego następcy z radą prałatów i panów polskich i litewskich wybiorą i ustanowią. Nawzajem, gdyby król polski zszedł bez dzieci i prawych następców, prałaci panowie i szlachta Królestwa Polskiego nie powinni sobie obierać króla i pana bez wiedzy i zgody naszej, tj. wielkiego księcia Aleksandra, oraz panów i szlachty ziem litewskich"

Harassment

I don't know why you have begun a campaign of harassment against me, inclusing using threats of blocks for my having removed BLP violations, and filing bogus 3RR complaints, but I request and strongly suggest you stop. Boodlesthecat 21:59, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Again, I strongly recommend that you cease the harassment, as well, be advised that false claims such as you made on my talk page are a violation of WP:CIVIL. As an admin, I would hope that you would have a better understanding of WP:BLP, 3RR, as well as the impropriety of misusing admin authority for the purposes of harassing editors you disagree with.

Fear: Anti-Semitism in Poland after Auschwitz

Please about protect this article, because there is editwar and there are lies and qutoes without Neutral Point of view. But maybe better option will be talk about this article? What you think? Alden or talk with Alden 22:16, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi - the 3RR report wasn't clear to me as the diffs were quitrte different - I think you need to clarify your report. Regards--Matilda 23:57, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

• I appreciate at WP:3RR it states A revert means undoing the actions of another editor, whether involving the same or different material each time. To me it might be that you are inefficient at undoing an edit and take two edits to undo two different bits of information. I don't think that constitutes breaking the 3RR because he hasn't removed the same content. That is my view - otehers may vary. However, because it isn't clear, some clarification in your report might help. Its just so much easier when the diffs cover exactly the same changes and that isn't the case here. --Matilda 00:06, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Returned

I wanted you to be aware that the "Doctor" has returned from his whirlwind trip to Russia. Interestingly he spent ten days in Jarosław. Well known for his pro-Russian and bolshewik sympathies, he is working with Ghirla now to make more trouble. Please make note. And I can provide telephone transcripts from hospital (his department) made to Russia not from long ago. Good wishes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.241.230.3 (talk) 20:51, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Dear anon. I have no idea what Russia-touring doctor are you talking about, and why would anybody want to know the content of his presumably private telephone conversations? I am not aware of any disruptive activity by Ghirla in months, and I hope it will stay this way. If you think you are in possession of some information important to Misplaced Pages, perhaps WP:ARBCOM may be of help, I'd suggest emailing them. PS. Also, please consider creating an account.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 20:57, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Cannot register now not to loose job. I hear conversations in broken Russian for Andrei and trip to Russian. Much anti-Polish laughing and to make "Springtime front" plans later. How to tell Arbcom? Transcripts are not talkining but only telephone numbers to and from. It can proove if it is not admitted by longtime vandal kriminal. Can this help stop this?

Jewish Socialist Party

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

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

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

Am reading Rick Kuhn's biog of Grossman. They are completely different parties - perhaps Polish wiki is wrong? JSPD/ZSDP was break from social democratic movement, and highly critical of PZ. Am trying to edit relevant pages with material from Kuhn's book. BobFromBrockley (talk) 11:44, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

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

Just a comment on your user page – and I don't know, it might be because I use Safari, but your yellow ("You have new messages") box repeats vertically on the left, covering the nav information but behind the search box, and the blue one ("Please add new ") also repeats vertically, but on the right. Thought you might like feedback on how it appears on this browser, cheers. Julia Rossi (talk) 08:04, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: Page moves

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

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

Cvc42 and Jacurek

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

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