Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 08:03, 7 May 2018

Nice work

Just wanted to drop by and say thanks for all the recent work you've put into the Poland article. It's a good step in removing the issues that often plague Polish topics on Misplaced Pages. --Samotny Wędrowiec (talk) 20:47, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi Samotny Wędrowiec, many thanks! I figured a bit of grammar fixing was in order. :D --E-960 (talk) 20:35, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Response

Sorry for not responding earlier (re: this) - I'm glad you placed a discussion on each of the talk pages but the wording makes it seem as if you're suggesting it when in fact you already changed it. Still, the replacement maps are mostly as good if not better. The only one one where it really didn't improve the article was at Elbe Germanic peoples (this was reverted by Bermicourt), since the new map didn't contain any mention of Elbe Germanic and the original map was integral to the article. Since most of them are not contested I'd say it worked out. Prinsgezinde (talk) 13:47, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

RE: Content related to topics on Poland

Hi. I appreciate your interest in Polish related topics, through I don't recall you've ever participated in Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Poland. Do stop by some time. Anyway, I see you've been on en wiki since 2014. I've been here a bit longer. I'll just say that if you are becoming involved in Poland-related controversies, and you tell me that in my edits I am "overly focusing on the BAD and the UGLY about topics related to Poland", well. A lot of people would get a very good laugh about. Nie ucz ojca dzieci robic, kolego. Anyway, you are correct that some people had or have strong biases, including anti-Polish. But you have entered a minefield (did I just see a DS warning above?). Tread lightly, including what you write to whom. Assume good faith, be polite, but also realize that notability applies to things that can hurt one's national pride, too. Ps. If you want to talk more about this stuff, activate your email. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:25, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Piotr, I can appreciate your input to the Poland related articles. As for the deletion request, I just noticed a Neutrality dispute tag on the new Polish collaboration page, and I'm not sure how this thing will get resolved, as we now have this controversy across two pages. --E-960 (talk) 09:05, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

We need to cut down (shorten) content about Polish collaboration that exists elsewhere, which will hopefully reduce problems on those other pages. As for how the issues around the new dedicated page will get resolved, and when - shrug. Sometimes it takes years. We will discuss, we will compromise, and hopefully things will stabilize before some people get themselves blocked or banned. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:46, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Matejko

It's obvious that at least one Matejko painting needs to be added to balance up the images. It is an accurate representation as Matejko used historical sources and descriptions whereas the previous image was just bleak and boring and barely visible. Is the image of Casimir III from the Middle Ages? No. So it doesn't matter. If his representation is good enough then let it stay. Secondly we can have both Wajda and Polański in the cinema section. Also, something needs to be done with Sobieski's painting so it's not breaking the sections. Would you also consider adding Ludwik Zamenhof to language section? Also how is Napoleon less important than some Narcyza Żmichowska? Why is she still there overflowing the law section? Oliszydlowski, 09:44, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

Oliszydlowski, again I'd like to suggest that any changes made to the article at this point are incremental and discussed on talk page, to avoid radical changes... this approach is maintained by editors on other high profile pages such as WWII, etc. This Poland article is not the mess it was sometime back, and we both along with other editors made it much better (though not perfect, but no Misplaced Pages article is ever that). Also, pls consider that many of the images on the page were added by you, and if you keep reverting other folks choices well have a page that's entirely filled with your selections. --E-960 (talk) 10:20, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
