Page moves

Hi. As you know, the articles dealing with the expulsion of the Germans can be quite contentious. As such, any page move should really be discussed. I don't fault you for being WP:BOLD, but having said that, this is the sort of thing on which I think we would want consensus before moving forward. If you could please join the discussion on the talk page, that would be great. Much thanks. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 13:04, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

This is in POV template. Do not remove the POV template until dispute is over.--Gwinndeith (talk) 17:54, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

I might have been a bit too rush in some decisions, I suggest third party-neutral-to decide what is wrong and what is right for that article.--Gwinndeith (talk) 11:06, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Tagging T3

Just a quick reminder: If you tag a template like Template:Pomeranian history for speedy deletion, remember to always(!) put it in <noinclude></noinclude> tags, otherwise it will show up on all transcluded pages, messing up the category for speedy deletion. Regards SoWhy 07:57, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Template:Pomerania

Please reduce the topics within the template to developments prior to 1945, because the current form is too extensive. Pomerania as such is no longer a political entity, and the mixing of German elements with now-Polish ones within one template, particularly one of such massive proportions, is confusing rather than a helfpul navigational tool. As Pomerania no longer exists as such, there is no point in adding the template to towns or locations in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern or Poland. It would be much more useful, if the topics included in it were related to the historic events in Pomerania only. There are templates, lists and/or categories for towns, lakes, rivers, islands, etc. in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Poland, respectively, so there really isn't any need for more templates of that sort. --Axt (talk) 22:41, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Silesian topics

Thanks for your help. Since I'm only a noob with a short temper your edits are really instructive. :) Karasek (talk) 07:58, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Table

Thanks for the work on the table here. Should we add the 1941 changes to it? Also, should we make it into a template? It certainly could be used in Administrative division of Polish territories during World War II, and possibly in some other articles.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 12:56, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

I think the subarticles are fine, but indeed there is a problem with overlapping content and structure. PS. I recently created Kattowitz (region). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 16:19, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Re:Intention or false positive?

Hey Skäpperöd, and thanks for pointing out the edit here. Embarrasing as it is, I honestly am not sure why I made that edit... it's clearly not vandalism nor bad sourcing, so the only explanation I can think of is that I accidentally clicked revert when I was patrolling IP recent edits. Never Twinkle before morning coffee is the lesson. All the best, FlyingToaster 12:37, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia

Please see my comment a the bottom, and the merge proposal on the main page. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 16:51, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Fed. of Expellees

Hi - I see your point. Thanks for reverting these edits and thanks for explaining your rationale in my talk page. The Nazi resettlement of Germans during WW2 is itself an interesting topic, maybe worth an article of itself. As you probably know, the "evacuation" looked differently in different Baltic countries and while Germans from Estonia and Latvia left their countries voluntarily, the ones resettled later from Lithuania were in fact forced to leave and then kept in special Nazi camps. In fact they could be seen as the first German expellees ... --Lysy 19:02, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Re:wwii anniversary

You are more then welcome to fix such thing, I have no problem when my errors get pointed out and corrected :) --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 12:42, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

East Upper Silesia

Where could we redirect this? Or should we stub this? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 21:10, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Redirect Eastern Upper Silesia. Any thoughts? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 12:49, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Expulsion of Germans after WWII

Hi, well I did that because I knew it would catch everyone's attention, which it obviously did. A fact tag would not be of any help since it isn't really something we need a "fact" for, so tagging it would be pointless. Having weird sentences like the one in question, which is hardly a sentence to begin with, does little to help wikipedia's credibility. I don't even know how to fix it. Aha, greetings from the south, from Saxon-Switzerland.--Npovshark (talk) 13:39, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for the constructive edits at Teutonic takeover of Danzig (Gdańsk). I think it looks pretty good now and about as "consensus" as it can get.radek (talk) 17:46, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
