Why require the author to do a review? Reviews are only mandatory for self-nominations. Nyttend (talk) 23:16, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Mikołaj Zyblikiewicz

Very nice article. I cleaned it up a little. You might take a look at the changes. You tend to write in the passive voice, using words like "had" and "have" a lot. I was taught that active voice was generally better. Please don't take this advice as harsh criticism. Most of our editors make the same choice. But it is a pet peeve of mine, and something we can all easily cure. Keep up the good work. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 20:28, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

And if I misattributed the prose, I apologize. I didn't look much at the edit history. BTW, I love your User page. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 20:34, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

I also apologize if I appeared to be (or was) either patronizing or pedantic. As I said, I really liked the article, and these things did not detract from its worth or the obvious effort you put into it. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 20:38, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Added comment and partial review to Template:Did you know nominations/Mikołaj Zyblikiewicz. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 21:12, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

When you've put in the (sfn), please let me know and I will put in the "tick" at Template:Did you know nominations/Mikołaj Zyblikiewicz. That should (I think) satisfy the sceptics (or skeptics, depending upon which brand of English we're using. I assume you use British, but I could be wrong). 7&6=thirteen (☎) 23:23, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

I think the footnote I added nicely sets the stage for astute readers. One can see the meeting between the Emperor and the Cracow president in a much greater context. It is the epicenter of the whirlpool. But maybe that's just my wishful thinking. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 01:42, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Could you add the first name IPA. There is a letter and a dipthong there that isn't in the usual Roman alphabet,and I am sure it will throw some off. Sorry, I don't mean to be a nag. Thanks. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 18:10, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

I'm really impressed with your resolve, 7&6=thirteen. All done, Poeticbent talk 18:29, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Being a nonspeaker of Polish, I can see problems that probably are easily overlooked by you. I do like to see articles produced that are top shelf in their layout, research, verifiability, etc. When I click on random Misplaced Pages articles, I am frequently dismayed. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 18:46, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

I understand... and I share your sentiments. Poeticbent talk 19:05, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Tomasz Pryliński (1847–1895)

Tomasz Pryliński (1847–1895) Polish Misplaced Pages. This could be a relatively easy DYK, for you, I think. And it would get rid of an empty space (which is now a red link) in your current article. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 23:34, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

I plan on getting it done soon. Thanks, 7&6=thirteen. Some red links are also OK by our new going standards at DYK, so it is not a problem right away. Poeticbent talk 18:35, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

I agree. No worries. I just thought this would be up your allée. If you put it together, I would be pleased to second chair and edit. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 18:42, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

DYK for Society of Polish Artists "Sztuka"

On 26 November 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Society of Polish Artists "Sztuka", which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the immediate inspiration for the founding of Society of Polish Artists "Sztuka" (logo pictured) came from the ground-breaking fin-de-siècle art exhibit at Sukiennice? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Society of Polish Artists "Sztuka". You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Olga Lipińska

Witam,

Usunąłem info o rzekomym żydowskim nazwisku Olgi Lipińskiej z uwagi na brak wiarygodnego źródła - trudno za taki uznać wpis na jednej stronie internetowej, szczególnie że nie cechuje jej raczej obiektywizm i rzetelne podejście do tematu. Avadoro (talk) 00:43, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Why did you revert my close

Why did you revert the close of the RFC? The RFC is closed. Discussion was over. Its been since Oct 12th and was marked for procedural close as per standards. You are welcome to your opinion, but the RFC as is, is done and closed. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 15:37, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

You are not a neutral observer... and this was not a vote to be closed. Your edits were partisan. Your opinions put in the process box were not only personal, but also out of place. That,s why. Poeticbent talk 16:43, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Now listen up, and listen well - Regardless of whether you consider ChrisGualtieri to be "neutral", or not, the fact is the RFC was marked for close, Chris has closed it - if you have any issues with the comments, or the manner in which the process was carried out, take it up through the proper channels. Otherwise, the RFC is shut, that is the end of it. You've reverted his close twice already - quite unnecessarily and without merit: Revert it one more time and it is YOU who will wind up reported for disruptive editing. I have restored the close as placed, undo it again and the Administrator's noticeboard (Incidents) section is your next stop. Clear? Fish 00:54, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

• — You come to my own place to threaten and insult me? How sad you choose to present yourself like that to others. Poeticbent talk 05:11, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

• • What is sad, is when you threaten and insult people with being taken to ANI through an edit summary, Poeticbent. Chris has made it quite clear that he is uninvolved, I've looked back and I'm leaning towards agreeing with him. If you have problems with that, deal with them properly - as it stands right now, I will choose to present myself as I have seen you present yourself to others. Regardless of where I am, my page, your page, half way up Route 66, it doesn't matter. You get what you give. Fish 11:37, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Considering I've never edited it or viewed the article before closing the RFC, yeah, I'm an uninvolved editor who stumbled across a valid request to close an RFC, the oldest one on the page as well. I'm not even from the same country, I don't know two things about the subject and I don't personally care about the subject. What I do care about is proper procedure and making sure that Misplaced Pages articles are constantly improving. Reliable sources and verifiable claims are part of my duties. No one owns a Misplaced Pages article and you have been grossly incivil and combative. This is not a battleground and I'm not going to spend all day picking a fight over something like this. I think you should calm down and realize I'm not doing anything like 'misuse of process tools, partisan editing, revert warring, fakery and general bullying.' Also, what was with the 'You're attempting to gain upper hand in a discussion by pretending to be archiving a nonexistent XfD with a closing admin box.'? The article was not up for deletion, it was an RFC. You don't need to be an admin to close an RFC, and not all discussions need to be closed, this one was requested to be closed. I think I've explained as well as I can. Discussion of it continues at ELN as you already know. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 01:40, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

• Please, do not call yourself and uninvolved editor again, when you force your personal point of view on others and place it in an administrative process box, as if it was a word of God. You are not an admin. You closed that RFC by way of lecturing your own peers with contempt. You deleted entire section from the article without a word of consensus (and pretended to be talking voodoo, very funny), even though you know you're dealing with a long-standing controversy. However, you also don't seem to understand the true impact of your own actions, therefore I will try to get some more answers at ANI. Poeticbent talk 05:11, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Frankly Poet, many people here remind me a person described in this poem by Nikolay Nekrasov. No, this not you and not Chris. My very best wishes (talk) 02:10, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

• Thanks for the poem, My very best wishes. Good introduction to the work of Nikolay Nekrasov. Makes me want to become a fan of his. Poeticbent talk 16:23, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

AN/I Notification

Hello. There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Fish 11:59, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Not quite an olive branch, but I mean well

I know you probably don't care for me much, given the circumstances. Though I am here on an entirely different matter. Just to be clear, its not eating humble pie or crow or anything, but I am genuinely concerned as to why the previous article about you was deleted? Unless I am missing something isn't the Związek Polskich Artystów Plastyków an official association of professional artists in Poland? There by, in extension, being chosen as a representative of a major city such as Kraków confer status? Hell, if Misplaced Pages has more on some third rate fashion designers simply because of 'Project Runway', doesn't this put you essentially at the forefront of Polish arts back in 1980? Sounds like a claim of notability by itself. I honestly believe that if the article was recreated with a few tweaks and a few alterations it could stand. I don't much care for the drama, but it sounds like you meet GNG. WP:ARTIST is useless and out of date anyways, its a lame catchall for the deletionists. They'd shoot down Brian Muir (sculptor) if it wasn't for the work with Darth Vader alone. Call it what you will, but the work for academics is the proper one I go by. And you seem to meet under being part of a professional body and organization, being nominated for a special priviledge and event (as the sole representative I believe) and you've have enduring work for many magazines and advertising campaigns. If you can live off your work, I consider that 'professional' because I can't live off my artwork or my writings, despite the circles taking an interest in them. Out of 38 million people in Poland and all the hundreds of careers possible, professional artists who graduate from the upper eschelon of art schools, a mere 8,500 are represented by an official body. If you have been feared in a national museum at the behest of the curator of the official organization, then I'm certain that meets WP:ACADEMIC and only a few sources short of WP:GNG. I'd be willingly to take a crack at it. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 22:11, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

• Thanks for the offer, ChrisGualtieri. Please accept my apology for having misjudged you. You're a good man, and you do possess the ability to step back and look at a broader picture contrary to what I said in distress. I appreciate your desire and willingness to recreate the old article, but I don't want to stir up things anymore that will only cause trouble. I am an active editor in Misplaced Pages. The longer I stay here the more I realize that people will always try to take vengeance in response to a grievance. Targetting a BLP bio here, where "anyone can edit", is the easiest and most effective way to get payback. "Let sleeping dogs lie." Poeticbent talk 00:08, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Ah I understand. I really didn't get the whole EEML thing or much of which you talked about. I am relatively new to Misplaced Pages, a few months short of a year. I find Misplaced Pages to be refreshing at best and petty at worse. Such troubles don't matter much in the grand scheme of things, but I see a glimpse of your plight. 4 afd's is excessive. Fail to delete twice and you should stay is my opinion, otherwise its rolling the die like in court except appealing is a pain in the ass and there is no rules on double jeopardy. I feel there is a strong line between GNG and the subpage notability guidelines. Alas, I don't have the backing of the community to rewrite such rules. We are not all bad here on Wiki, I'm a stickler for good policy and caretaking of articles, after that not much really matters. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 03:15, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
