Incidentally

It sounded true to me. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 20:01, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Well, it's true in the same sense as it's true that it is possible to win a game of tic tac toe against a 7 year old or against Homer "Good Ol' Rock" Simpson. And anyway - if it was possible to exploit "psychology" to win RPS then it would be useless as a means of determining outcomes in disputes. The fact that people still use it to decide stuff attests to the fact that they do in fact play (1/3)-strategies whether they "explicitly" randomize or not.radek (talk) 23:54, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Re:

The Hambach Festival of 1832 was one of the first occasions where the black-red-gold flag of Germany was shown. At the same time refugees fleeing Poland after the November Uprising took part and German and Polish flags were used as a symbol of democracy in Europe. This German stamp commemorates this event. Many "de:Polenvereine" (Poland Clubs) were established to support the insurgents, this might be something to tie on. HerkusMonte (talk) 17:27, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Is that image in public domain in the US (I know it is in Germany)? It would be sort of neat to take it and with some photoshop skills transform it into a "Wiki-stamp". Like the upper left corner could say "Misplaced Pages" instead of Deutschland, the left side could have the year, the right white bar could have the name of the award and the person. And do something with the number.radek (talk) 19:20, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Let me know if I could be of any help with this graphic guys, I can make any modifications needed.--Jacurek (talk) 20:45, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Not an ideal image, I know. Maybe we could use only the section showing the flags/people. I'm on a wikibreak for a few days, I'll try to find something more about "Polenvereine" next week. HerkusMonte (talk) 06:49, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I think focusing on the flags/people would illustrate the idea better (though I still think it would look neat if it looked like a stamp). Take your time with the Polenvereine, I'm busy too and weekends is about all I can muster.radek (talk) 06:34, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Heads up about an RfC

Please note that there's a new discussion at Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/2010 ArbCom election voting procedure in which you may wish to comment. It is expected to close in about a week. You have received this message because you participated in a similar discussion (2009 AC2 RfC) last year.  Roger 05:46, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Re:why are you restoring vandalism?

Template:German Polish Barnstar

A very nice idea, please announce it on WP:POLAND and WP:GERMANY, and add it to their award listings. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 16:50, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

I plan on doing that but wanted to finalize the Barnstar aesthetically. Waiting on input from Herkus too.radek (talk) 15:33, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi Radeksz, I'm currently a little busy. The barnstar looks fine, I'm not sure how to mention the Hambach Festival, maybe something like ".. was awarded to ... in remembrance of the Polish-German friendship at the Hambach Festival", but that's just a first thought.

Revert

Sorry, don't mean to get into an edit war, just want to verify this since it's in total contrast to what I cited / was verified by Himka.--Львівське (talk) 02:35, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

That's fine but keep in mind that the article is still under 1RR, hence it would've been better if you discussed it first. Also, the proper thing to do in such a case would be to add a "verify" tag, rather than remove the sourced text and replace it with something else. Volunteer Marek (talk) 02:37, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

I forgot about the 1R...the Pawel arguments were a LONG time ago. I am discussing though....what should it be changed to, though? Both refs contradict eachother--Львівське (talk) 02:50, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm gonna continue this at the article talk page. Volunteer Marek (talk) 02:55, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, thought protocol was to PFD and then AFD afterwards to find consensus if necessary --Львівське (talk) 06:39, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Usually if you think someone will object, then go straight to AfD. Also, I'm not sure what the reason for removal of these categories is ? Volunteer Marek (talk) 06:45, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Well, Pawlokoma isn't in Volynhia...so why would it be under the category for massacres "in volhynia"?--Львівське (talk) 06:56, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Ah, I see - where all these in Tarnopol? Volunteer Marek (talk) 07:00, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

There were a few in Tarnopol and a few (like this one) in subcarpathian voivodship. Also, the pawkloma one i realize now is a massacre of ukrainians...so why it was filed under "massacres of poles" is a double-no--Львівське (talk) 07:11, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages!

Welcome to Misplaced Pages! ...or, well I see you have been here for quite a while.

Do you have any special wishes about referring to your past contributions? Is it OK to refer to your old user name? Or should we refer to the "old you" by your new user name? Is it OK to link your old name to your new name in discussions? (I will not be doing the linking here.) -- Petri Krohn (talk) 16:03, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
