Holodomor mediation issue two
Hi Volunteer Marek, this is a boilerplate message to let you know that we have moved on to issue two of the Holodomor mediation, victim estimates. At the moment we are accepting statements from all participants, so if you want to make your position on this issue known, then now would be a very good time to contribute. Your statement should be no longer than 200 words, and should include both your opinion on the issue and what you hope will be addressed in the mediation. We will be accepting statements until 00:00, 22 December 2011 (UTC), or until we have statements from all spokespersons. Please note, however, that even if you miss this deadline you are free to contribute to the mediation at any time. You can find the appropriate section on the mediation page here. All the best — Mr. Stradivarius 06:46, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

DYK for Andrzej Bogucki
On 23 December 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Andrzej Bogucki, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Polish actor and singer-songwriter Andrzej Bogucki and his wife were awarded the title Righteous among the Nations for helping Polish Jewish pianist Władysław Szpilman escape the Warsaw Ghetto? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Andrzej Bogucki.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Any idea what the actual subject of the image is? although I am a bit surprised it hasn't already been deleted for not having verifiable information/licensing. Rmhermen (talk) 05:30, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello, Volunteer Marek!
It was really helpful of you to you to upload File:Kelus.jpg. However, we need to properly format the image license information in order to keep and use new images.
If you can edit the description and add one of these templates, that would be great. If you're not sure how or would like some help, please ask us at the media copyright questions page and we'll be happy to assist you.

Excluding involved editors from AE
You are completely out of line, and your posts at AE and my talk page were so devoid of professionalism that they left me astonished. Most people at AE and WT:A/R have said they think the idea would work, although a few have opposed and some more want something less than an outright ban. In what universe is that not "broad support"? If you thought I misjudged the support for the proposal (which is perfectly possible), then you could have said so without the vitriol and unpleasantness. Frankly, this is precisely the sort of behaviour which makes the English Misplaced Pages an unpleasant place to work, and you should give serious thought to whether your comments on my talk page and at the notice board are of benefit to anybody. AGK 13:18, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
- I respectfully disagree. There are many things which make Misplaced Pages an unpleasant place to be but stating bluntly that some kind of sketchiness is going on is not one of them. Indeed, IMO it is in rare supply. What is out of line is misconstruing a whole series of comments as "broad support" to go ahead with a policy change that does not in fact have "broad support".
- I honestly have no idea how you came to the conclusion you seem to hold - the very skewness of your assessment is precisely part of the reason why a dissenting opinion had to be worded in strong terms. So you'd get the message.
Volunteer Marek (talk) 15:41, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
- Talk page stalker: AGK, while the criticism I saw on your talk page () was rather strong, I see VM's post at AE as very insightful. Your criticism of VM above is about as out of line as his post to your talk page (granted, "he" started it). May I suggest you both backtrack, shake hands and try o AGF one another? Now, that I've read yours and VM's post, I guess I'll go and post something at AE myself. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 15:57, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Communist Poland Copyright issue
There is a dispute regarding an image that was scanned from a old Polish magazine form the communist era. The person who uploaded the file claims that since it was a state owned publisher, the photograph can be copied due to an alleged public domain claim. I myself believe that even during communist era, publishers protected their work form being ripped-off, or missuses by other printing houses... and I doubt that there is no copyright protection whatsoever. If you have any knowledge on this subject, your input would be much appreciated, at this point I'm trying to get other users involved.

Noticed you had a number of contributions to the Fertility and intelligence article. When reading through it, I was a bit surprised not to see any mention in the bit on the 'Who's Who' studies about corrections for differing rates of illegitimate children.

Talk:Labour Party (Poland)
Hi, I had a brief look at Polish language sources, it seems that there are a multiplicity of similarly named parties and that both Polish and English sources are confused. It would be a lot of work to sort them out. Ideally the name of a leader/leaders and a date/place would be helpful for each one. Basically every comment in the stub needs a solid WP:RS. (PS, doesn't bother me, but technically the person who proposes an RM cannot add support, though I doubt an Admin will be bothered, as it's a common mistake) Cheers!. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:37, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
- The main problem is the naming. SP was a pretty major party, at least for a parliamentary system, so finding sources and getting things right won't be that hard. Info on PP might be a bit scarcer but the basic facts are easily sourced. Just got to decide on the names. Thanks.VolunteerMarek 01:50, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Szczecin
Evening,
The introduction should provide a brief summary, it didn't so I removed the unnecessary text. As I explained on the talk page for the article including only one election can and often does create a false impression. As far as we know that may have been the only time (in a free election) that the city voted that way. We'd look foolish is it was wouldn't we?
I don't mind you disagreeing, or correcting my typos but deciding that part of the intro is the 'wrong part' to cull suggests ownership and that is naughty. Rsloch (talk) 00:43, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
- First, you didn't explain anything on talk, just started edit warring. Second, when I left a note on your talk page, you removed it with a comment 'deleted' - why should I treat *your* comments on *my* talk page any differently?
- But ok, let me assume good faith here. The thing, is the issue of the election has been discussed at length on talk. Yes it is a single election - but it's a very significant election, the one which consolidated Nazi power in Germany. As has already been said on talk (please read it), if you, or anyone else, wants to find and include info on any other notable elections they are welcome to do so - but that's not a reason to delete this particular point of information.
- As to the lede stuff - yes the lede is too long. But not because of the info you are trying to remove. In fact this text in the lede just summarizes succinctly what is found in the article text, as a lede should do. If you want to shorten the lede, remove something else.VolunteerMarek 00:49, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
- My addition to the talk page, plus my edit summaries clearly explained my point of view, one result can and often does create a false impression. We do not know if the results show a drop, or an increase in the far right vote in the city, which is why solo results are pretty valueless. If the material is left in place we have an article that doesn't include present day election results but does have one, and only one, from the early 1930s. That doesn't strike you as odd?
- Have a look at what I have removed. Lines such as 'Police, the seat of Police County, situated on an estuary of the Oder River' are hardly succinct. There was a lot of verbiage.
- And I always delete things that will just cause arguments.
Rsloch (talk) 01:25, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what additions to the talk page you are referring to, since there were none. Likewise your edit summaries weren't particularly informative.
- We do not know if the results show a drop, or an increase in the far right vote in the city, which is why solo results are pretty valueless. - it would be nice to know the change in the vote but the fact that we do not have that information do not make the actual vote info "valueless". I'm not sure how you arrive at that conclusion.
- If the material is left in place we have an article that doesn't include present day election results but does have one, and only one, - that's because it was a pretty important election. More important than others.
- Have a look at what I have removed. Lines such as 'Police, the seat of Police County, situated on an estuary of the Oder River' are hardly succinct. There was a lot of verbiage. - I got no problem with this edit.
VolunteerMarek 01:30, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
- And yet oddly I'm 'top' of Talk:Szczecin.
- Isn't that just a tiny bit of POV? You are determining that one election was more important that all the others of the Weimar Republic (and Poland), and then from that putting unique weight on Stettin's results in the article. And oddly it is also the only one you seem to have figures for.
Rsloch (talk) 01:43, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
- And yet oddly I'm 'top' of Talk:Szczecin. - Huh? Searching for you on the talk page I see one short comment which you left in a middle of a already existing previous discussion (which is why I missed it). You should know that new comments should be left at the end of a discussion not in the middle of it.
- Isn't that just a tiny bit of POV? - I think you misunderstand WP:NPOV. The elections which brought the Nazis to power WERE more important than just any ol' run of the mill election. This is why it is being included. If you have election figures for any other notable elections, then maybe we can add them.VolunteerMarek 01:48, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
- A quick look in the 'History' section of the Talk page would have shown you my comment. You should avoid making allegations before performing simple checks.
- Not wishing to go around in circles, I am arguing that one out of context localised election result should not be given unique significance because it can and often does create a false impression. Shall we agree to disagree?

General Semantics
Thank you for monitoring the article on General_semantics. I would like to discuss your edits to the "Identification" and "the silent level" sub-section. Perhaps you acted in haste, annoyed by the conduct of editor Kikoman77. I have posted the following to Kikoman77's user:talk page:
Dear Kikoman77.... I infer from your edits of the General_semantics article that you seriously care about the article's content. So do I. A different editor contested your edits, made other changes, and now has flagged the article, disputing its "Neutral Point of View."
I hope you and the other editor may both look at the General_semantics talk page's "Major Edit Intended / Installed" section, dating from late 2011. I believe the January 24 2012 changes by the two of you are more destructive than constructive. Both of you disregarded Misplaced Pages's guideline cautioning against deletions. I'm happy to participate in a conversation that may lead to dispute resolution. Regards, Canhelp (talk) 02:03, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
The tombstone photos
I can't say I understand why you're using these tombstone photos. In and of themselves they're nice photos but they don't really illustrate the subjects of the relevant articles as well as the alternatives. As infobox pics they also seem a bit... morbid. I think they should be included in the relevant articles somewhere but they don't make for very good infobox or "lede" images.
It's sort of like if I uploaded photos of my figurki krolow and put them in for infobox images. (Btw, you wouldn't happen to own any of these, would you? I need a few to complete the collection).VolunteerMarek 09:14, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
- The tomb effigies, except for Jadwiga and Władysław of Varna, are from the period and give the closest representation of the monarch in question. They carry an authenticity that Matejko's and Bacciarelli's pictures of royals do not possess.
- As to Sienkiewicz — apart from a few scenes in Quo Vadis (as when Petronius stops Nero's mouth, under pretext of preserving Nero's voice for the benefit of mankind, in order to save a potential victim of the emperor's), Sienkiewicz is essentially a John Wayne of Polish literature: patriotism, optimism and shallowness. Nihil novi (talk) 09:52, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
- By the way, did you know that the story of Jadwiga's selling her jewels to renew the Kraków Academy has a later parallel with Stanford University? The Stanford Museum has a painting of the jewels Mrs. Stanford sold off to pay for Leland Stanford Junior University. Nihil novi (talk) 10:02, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
- I don't think "authenticity" is the sole criteria which should be used to determine what images go in the infobox. The problem is that they're sort of hard to see and I think they're trumped on purely aesthetic grounds by either Matejko or Bacciarelli (not because the effigies themselves lack aesthetic value - quite the opposite! - but just because a photo of a statue generally does not do justice to the statue itself). Again, I think it makes total sense to have the photos in the article but for the infobox I would prefer something more eye grabbing.
- As to Sienkiewicz, I don't necessarily disagree, but come on, it's a fun read. I think I already said I'd be fine with removing him from the Poles image collage.
- And yes I knew the Stanford story though never thought of it as parallel to the Krakow Academy - thanks for pointing that out.VolunteerMarek 19:59, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
Gdańsk vote
Your latest edit at Poznan violates the Gdańsk vote. I don't think you seriously want to deny the city of Poznan had periods of German influence/rule throughout its history and was known as "Posen" also in the English speaking world. Contrary to the rules of the Gdansk vote you removed the historical name. Please restore the proper name in accordance with the Gdansk vote.
Also remember that: Persistent reverts against community consensus despite multiple warnings may be dealt with according to the rules in Misplaced Pages:Dealing with vandalism.
Thanks in advance. HerkusMonte (talk) 14:37, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
- I don't think the GD vote is meant to apply to places in Poland which were only part of Germany during periods of occupation. This is a different case then Gdansk or East Prussia. You wouldn't argue that GD vote justifies insertion of German (Nazi era) names into every single Polish place simply because all of Poland was under Nazi occupation during WW II would you? VolunteerMarek 19:54, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
- By the same token, since Polish units took part in advance on Germany in 1944-1945, one could add Polish names (and Russian, French, and so on...) to all places in Germany. Let's not go that way, shall we? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 20:38, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
- Now, back to Poznań, the times of the Prussian partition have resulted in the creation of the Grand Duchy of Posen and Province of Posen. Perhaps those constitute a case where having Posen in lead would be useful? This discussion may be better suited for the article's talk. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 20:43, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Remember this map?
Think it is Polish spy posing as German researcher smuggling vile Polish nationalist propaganda? I believe it is very likely(maybe even using a commie time machine) ;) --MyMoloboaccount (talk) 16:29, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
Mentorship
I have closed the unblock discussion regarding Mistress Selina Kyle. Since you agreed to mentor them, you are now the official mentor of the now-unblocked User:Mistress Selina Kyle. Please try to keep up with them, and if you notice problems brewing, try to head them off before it becomes an issue again. As you have been a champion for unblocking this account, I hope this goes well. Good luck. --Jayron32 04:57, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
