Question

Could you explain why your edits removed information that Polish optaten were treated in the same way German optaten were? Here :. Also why have you inserted information about this without noting(as the author) that these issues concerned Germans rejecting Polish citizenship and who are clearly singled out by author of Optatent throughout the text? Your edits suggested that this issue covered all Germans.

I know I asked you this before, but so far you have not answered. Should I direct this observation to other channels of communication if you are unwilling to explain your edits?

Your answer completely avoids the issue. Why have you entered information that was completely incorrect and characterised measures against specific group as measures against all Germans? The writing in Lippelt was quite different from what you wrote. --MyMoloboaccount (talk) 12:29, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Silesia vs. Lower Silesia.

I live in Wrocław. Lower Silesia is NOT considered part of Silesia, despite the name, nor do the inhabitants of Wrocław consider themselves Silesians (or even Lower Silesians, for that matter). Silesia, in Postwar usage, refers strictly to Upper Silesia (most, but not all, of Śląskie, and also some of Opolskie). The postwar situation in Lower Silesia was VERY different from the situation in Upper Silesia (Lower Silesia had a very small autochthonous Polish population, and most of the present day population originated from other parts of Poland, especially the Kresy). Kamusela is discussing only Upper Silesia. The autochthon argument had nothing to do with the aquisition of Wrocław after the war, as it did in Katowice or Kashubia.

I did not say there were NO "autochthons" in Lower Silesia, just nowhere near the number found in Upper Silesia. Their presence had little to do with the decision to assign Lower Silesia to Poland (which had more to do with military defensibilty). Yes, there was some propaganda associated with the change, but in Wrocław, this took on a different flavor than in Upper Silesia, and the role of the autochthonous population was not as important, even though it was exaggerated. Actually, the propaganda in Wrocław had more to do about re-establishing Lwów and Wilno, which were lost to Poland after the war.

For a similar example of counter-intuitive naming, consider Lower Saxony, which is NOT part of Saxony. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 13:03, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Good editing atmosphere

I saw your recent comment on that. I do support improving editing atmosphere and rebuilding good faith and such. I'd suggest that a good first step would be for you to acknowledge that Poeticbent (and his other accounts) have done nothing disruptive/abusive and should not have been banned from this project. Please note that WP:SOCK allows editors to have multiple accounts if they are used in non-abusive ways. How about that? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 12:57, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

I am sorry to hear that. I suggest you reconsider your attitude. Until you are ready to WP:FORGIVE and edit collaboratively with others, the situation is unlikely to change. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 13:12, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Following AGF, I am assuming you are genuinely not realizing that I and others (VM, for example) are perceiving your actions as battle-minded. Please, reconsider your attitude. We want to collaboratively edit with you in a friendly manner, but this cannot happen if you fail to adhere to WP:FORGIVE, WP:AGF and similar policies. If you feel my comments are not helping, I will gladly stop them, as I have only attempted to mediate between you and VM, and in response, got what I perceive as a combative and unfriendly comments on my talk page. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 14:07, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
