Thanks for the email

The incident with photos really bemused me, since it was not a typical respectable behaviour of yours. It is a pity that good editors are in such strange and sour relations. Cheers. GreyHood 20:14, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Stubs

You contributed to a recent discussion about an editor who was creating many stubs. The conclusion was that this was just a case of a prolific editor, with no violation of policy. There remains a question about whether very small stubs are useful, regardless of how they are created. You may want to contribute to the discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:Stub#Minimum size. Thanks, Aymatth2 (talk) 19:29, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Michal a Mikolaj, Marku? :) pl:Michał Radziwiłł Rudy needs stubbing. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 01:07, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Ah racja. Te "rudy" mnie pomieszali. Volunteer Marek  01:13, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Started Michał Radziwiłł Rudy, trouble finding sources though. this might help? Needs proof reading by a Polish speaker, I reserve a right to **** up! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:58, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks (I mean it). As a way of burying the hatchet, I'll work on this article (even though this is one of the Radziwiłłs that it's hard to get excited about) and try to get it at least to DYK level. Volunteer Marek  19:01, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

That would be cool, couldn't find many sources sorry!. Don't worry about what happened, just let it pass. If there are any other articles you want started let me know, and no sub stubs, promise!♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:12, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Will work on it. Piotrus might wanna keep on eye on it though as I've never been a big fan of the Radziwiłłs and that might show. Always been a Sapieha man myself. Volunteer Marek  19:25, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Try dat!♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:43, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Another two Leon Bazyli Sapieha and Grzegorz Antoni Ogiński. That'll do for now, don't want to piss you off with becoming too burdensome!♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:15, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Yeah I stubbed Battle of Olkieniki as well. Don't machine translate that one from pl wiki as it's essentially a copy-paste of some 19th century source. Not a copy-vio (I think) but the Polish in it is somewhat archaic and the google translation would be very mangled. Volunteer Marek  20:24, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Chances are 19th century material is PD. "In the U.S., any work published before January 1, 1923 anywhere in the world is in the public domain. " But I'll take your word for it on the archaicness! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:36, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

"Executionist movement" is actually a branch of SPECTRE have you know!♦ Dr. Blofeld 22:14, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

I probably shouldn't let you in on this, but it's actually the other way around. Volunteer Marek  22:16, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Request

Could you copy your messages on my talk page or use a talkback template when replying to me? Thanks you, --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 02:40, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Sure, if it's important enough. Volunteer Marek  03:14, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Research:Committee

Wikimedia Research:Committee has been quite active recently, delivering good quality stuff like the research newsletters. Check them out, --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 04:24, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

These are great initiatives for those with an exaggerated appreciation of greater Misplaced Pages, which is increasingly giving the public an encyclopedia and on-line experience at the public's level, which ain't much.

ANI is the latest arena for blood-letting over "national socialism", which has been flung around WP for weeks now, without consequence or apology.

 Kiefer.Wolfowitz 06:25, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

The latter doesn't really have much to do with the Research Committee. I suppose an apology could be demanded of Lihaas for what's on his userpage, but simpler is just to accept that he does indeed have a userbox there stating that he is a National Socialist, and that others (including me) don't regard that positively. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 08:30, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Readers shall have to choose between the accounts of Geometry guy, Cullen328, etc. on the one hand, and Demiurge1000 on the other.

But, looking at numerous discussions on Misplaced Pages, they already have!

Why did I mention the n.s. smear here?

In all my interactions, Volunteer Marek and Piotrus have shown themselves to be worthy of the honor that their countrymen and Parma residents have earned. I suspected that would understand my concern, properly.

Sincerely,  Kiefer.Wolfowitz 08:53, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
