NPOV

Agree with you. With the current state, any mentioning of poland or polish in the english wikipedia cannot be trusted. Its a bad situation. Thank your work. (also, thanks for the correction of the year of birth in the Cathedral of Magdeburg, that was my error). It is painful to see for example a three year old article fighting only about Copernicus' nationality, and then have Nicolaus Copernicus listed only as polish by ... you know who. I once had a similiar fight related to Kosovo. Misplaced Pages depserately needs a solution for this type of NPOV (National point of view), but there is none in sight. By the way, have you ever considered getting a login? That makes communication much easier. And just ignore the ridiculing of Space Cadet (Liebchen??? - what a mXXXX). Thank you very much for your work -- Chris 73 Talk 00:23, Jan 14, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks Chris Talk I appreciate your message and your thanks. I have to agree with you, entering articles in wikipedia and then have them deliberately vandalized time and time again, is a bad situation. This slanted NPOV (National Point of View), as you call it, of people like Emax, make a resonable wikipedia impossible. I'll repeat here what I said two weeks ago on the User 24.. site, it is futile. Misplaced Pages is not set up to be accurate, these Disclaimers need to be posted all over every article, not just on the bottom. Trying to keep wikipedia accurate is a big waste of time.

I think it is not quite as bad as you think it is. Many articles in Misplaced Pages are of excellent quality, and many others are pretty good. There is of course lots of vandalism, but most of it is handled well (warn user, then block from editing). Problem is that the community here has not yet decided how to handle this national pushing. Personally, i think this is also a form of vandalism and trolling. Anyway, please don't despair but keep on editing. But, as Albert Einstein once said (loosely translated): The ruling by the dumb people cannot be overcome, because there are so many of them, and their vote counts as much as ours. In the meantime, please enjoy this particular aspect of the polish culture. Thank you, and happy editing. -- Chris 73 Talk 02:58, Jan 17, 2005 (UTC)
