Regarding Prezi presentations

Hey Piotrus, thanks for considering my prezis to include in your series. I'd love to make them available on CC license, but the Prezi doesn't have any such option. For this reason I have made these 2 videos out of them here. I'm still trying to write to Prezi guys to make them available in CC license by clearly mentioning it. --SubhaUtter2me! 17:34, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

I have added CC license in my prezis. Hoe that would do. And you are doing a great job, keep sharing --SubhaUtter2me! 18:01, 4 February 2013 (UTC) ;-)

(Gulp, gulp, gulp -- Ahhhhhh.....) Thanks for the Beer! -- Regarding the Tadeusz Kościuszko page: a Good Article? Well, I'd have to go over the content more thoroughly first before I'd nominate it for a Good Article, but it seems you are right. Thanks for the award. Looking at your user page I see you have accumulated quite a few of them. Just want to say thanks for that too. You have done much work. Awards say much more for a user than an edit count does, however one can't ignore yours.

No. You score points in the round the content is promoted, but only if the content has been worked on and nominated this year. So, something you nominate now that doesn't pass until March will be eligible for next round, but something you wrote last year will not be eligible no matter when it passes.

Thx for replying so quickly on Talk:Stephen Báthory

Do you agree that it was only a split between the Polish nobles and the Lithuanian nobles didn't participate in the vote?

I think the spilt was a consequence of the fight between Zborowski family and the Zamoyski family because of the execution of Samuel Zborowski. Beside that there was international interests: the interests of the Holy Roman Empire and the Teutonic Order on one side and Kingdom of Sweden on the other. At the same time the election went on in the turmoil of the clash between Reformation and Counter-Reformation.

Jan z Jani

Greetings. I wonder why You changed the name from Jan de Jani to Jan z Jani without first writing me and at least ask for the reference. First, You are completely wrong about french spelling since it is latin. Secondly, it is a family of duch origin in Pomerania wit proper name Jan von der Jane (or Yane). By this, it should be clear that Jan z Jani is not a proper name as You think but polonized. Also, we have to consider that we are talking about medieval times and we should then spell names in correct way as they where spelled also by polish. If You are not familiar with mediaval history of Poland, please ask before You change anything. Also, if You like to imporove the grammar, YUou are most welcome. The art is not long so instead of putting tags, You could do something more usefull. Thank You for reading. Best regards,camdan 12:50, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

WikiCup 2013 February newsletter

Round 1 is now over. The top 64 scorers have progressed to round 2, where they have been randomly split into eight pools of eight. At the end of April, the top two from each pool, as well as the 16 highest scorers from those remaining, will progress to round 3. Commiserations to those eliminated; if you're interested in still being involved in the WikiCup, able and willing reviewers will always be needed, and if you're interested in getting involved with other collaborative projects, take a look at the WikiWomen's Month discussed below.

Round 1 saw 21 competitors with over 100 points, which is fantastic; that suggests that this year's competition is going to be highly competative. Our lower scores indicate this, too: A score of 19 was required to reach round 2, which was significantly higher than the 11 points required in 2012 and 8 points required in 2011. The score needed to reach round 3 will be higher, and may depend on pool groupings. In 2011, 41 points secured a round 3 place, while in 2012, 65 was needed. Our top three scorers in round 1 were:

  1. Colorado Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), primarily for an array of warship GAs.
  2. London Miyagawa (submissions), primarily for an array of did you knows and good articles, some of which were awarded bonus points.
  3. New South Wales Casliber (submissions), due in no small part to Canis Minor, a featured article awarded a total of 340 points. A joint submission with Alaska Keilana (submissions), this is the highest scoring single article yet submitted in this year's competition.

Other contributors of note include:

Featured topics have still played no part in this year's competition, but once again, a curious contribution has been offered by British Empire The C of E (submissions): did you know that there is a Shit Brook in Shropshire? With April Fools' Day during the next round, there will probably be a good chance of more unusual articles...

March sees the WikiWomen's History Month, a series of collaborative efforts to aid the women's history WikiProject to coincide with Women's History Month and International Women's Day. A number of WikiCup participants have already started to take part. The project has a to-do list of articles needing work on the topic of women's history. Those interested in helping out with the project can find articles in need of attention there, or, alternatively, add articles to the list. Those interested in collaborating on articles on women's history are also welcome to use the WikiCup talk page to find others willing to lend a helping hand. Another collaboration currently running is an an effort from WikiCup participants to coordinate a number of Easter-themed did you know articles. Contributions are welcome!

A few final administrative issues. From now on, submission pages will need only a link to the article and a link to the nomination page, or, in the case of good article reviews, a link to the review only. See your submissions' page for details. This will hopefully make updating submission pages a little less tedious. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Help with a bias statement

Hi,

Thanks for creating a talk page for me last week, I'm still getting used to how to use Wikipedia as a registered user!

As you're an experienced user it would be good to get some help with a problem I have if you're willing?

The main reason I'm active right now is because I read something really bias on a Wikipedia article and felt the need to do something about it as I've always viewed Wikipedia as informational and impartial unlike many websites on the internet.

It is about a line in the opening paragraph on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Marx 'He is also considered one of the greatest economists of all time.'

I've had a long discussion with another user on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Karl_Marx#Edit_request_on_5_March_2013

But after giving specifics as to the rules which this sentence has broken I have not heard anything. No other users have commented on the discussion.

Just to specify here, I believe it's broken these rules as quoted from Wikipedia:

"Be careful with weasel words

Weasel words are a way to give unconfirmable assertions the appearance of fact. "Houston is considered the friendliest city in the world." Really, now. Who says so? Do not use expressions like "is claimed", "is thought to be", and "is alleged," without saying specifically who is doing the claiming, thinking or alleging."[4]

"Avoid stating opinions as facts. Usually, articles will contain information about the significant opinions that have been expressed about their subjects. However, these opinions should not be stated in Wikipedia's voice. Rather, they should be attributed in the text to particular sources, or where justified, described as widespread views, etc. For example, an article should not state that "genocide is an evil action", but it may state that "genocide has been described by John X as the epitome of human evil.""[5]

As explained above (the word 'considered' is even used in the example of what not to use), such broad statements should not be made, instead the sentence should refer specifically to the people who say so. An accurate phrase would be for example "Vince Cable lists him as the 4th greatest economist of all time." That is an undisputed statement. Whereas the broad terminology which is currently used does not state who considers him to be one of the greatest economists of all time, and therefore leaves the impression it is a widespread belief which it is not, and the references do not support that either.

Another rule it breaks is:

"Avoid stating seriously contested assertions as facts. If different reliable sources make conflicting assertions about a matter, treat these assertions as opinions rather than facts, and do not present them as direct statements."[6]

If you view the Wikipedia page for Criticisms of Marxism[7] and scroll down to the economics section you can find numerous criticisms by economists who would not consider him to be a good economist at all which is completely counter to the statement.


So I'm just wondering what I should do now? I can't edit the page myself and no one else is contributing to the discussion so I don't know who to bring this up with now? I don't want to give up until that sentence is removed as I believe it's spreading disinformation and was added by users trying to promote his agenda. Not even Adam Smith has such a prominent and broad statement of greatness in the opening paragraph of his Wikipedia article so it seems totally inappropriate for such a controversial figure as Karl Marx to have this stated. In fact I don't think I've ever read a Wikipedia article about a person which has such a broad unspecified statement of praise in an opening paragraph.

Your help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Hutchski (talk) 11:50, 11 March 2013 (UTC)


Update: I'm going to bring up a dispute resolution as I noticed this has been talked about in depth before as well. Let me know if there is anything else you think I should do. Thanks! Hutchski (talk) 11:59, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Notice of Dispute resolution discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute in which you may have been involved. Content disputes can hold up article development, therefore we are requesting your participation to help find a resolution. The thread is "Karl Marx, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Karl_Marx#Edit_request_on_5_March_2013, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Karl_Marx/Archive_10#Lead".

Guide for participants

If you wish to open a DR/N filing, click the "Request dispute resolution" button below this guide or go to Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/request for an easy to follow, step by step request form.

What this noticeboard is:
  • It is an early step to resolve content disputes after talk page discussions have stalled. If it's something we can't help you with, or is too complex to resolve here, our volunteers will point you in the right direction.
What this noticeboard is not:
  • It is not a place to deal with the behavior of other editors. We deal with disputes about article content, not disputes about user conduct.

Thoughts

I know that You are interested and involved in matters regarding Poland and Polish history and I see Your efforts and that You do lot of good things here on en:wiki so we all should be very gratefull for that. I will therefore take some time to explain few things that might be usefull for You. You can remove this text after reading...if You like to read this, its long.
Few thought regarding what is right and what is wrong. Look at the article on pl:wiki "Ostoja (herb szlachecki) and You will notice that it is FA (or medal) article. I have been assisting in creating this article and it seems like it is well written but it is not! There are several major errors in this article, the problem is that we cannot change those errors without new publications so basically what we do is copying all those errors and make people think that what is written in the article is correct since it is of FA quality. In many cases people including many professors do not care about the truth or what is right and publish nonsens that we then have to publish. In my opinion, such copying errors is totally useless. Best scientiests in heraldry we have in Poland would agree with me on this but still, there are no new publication jet to correct those errors. And errors in genalogy and heraldry are so many that You can not even imagine how many they are! So Im familiar with wiki policy that we have to publish errors but is it not a shame that we publish errors that common people believe in?
In the case of article "Ostoja (herb szlachecki)" we are really lucky because here we have in total 7 years of research under supervision of professors of Jagiellonian University that are today best in the subject so what we will publish in few months time will be quite revolutionary in the field of genealogy and heraldry of Ostoja. I will then finally be able to correct all those awfull errors in the article - as for now, Im quite ashamed over the quality of this article. I made few changes in the article on en:wiki "Ostoja coat of arms" - this is published on official page of the Ostoja Clan Association and of course the most correct publication on polish CoA we have today (except for the list of the families), it is of course monitored by all the best scientiests in the field of heraldry. I would rather think that the source (Ostoja Clan Association) is important publication since we do not publish errors and fairy tells although we still have years of work in correcting the list of Ostoja families - still 103 families that we have no clue how they become clan members and therefore researching their origin. For example, as for Lithuanian and Belarus families - did You know that only those that joined in 1413 and 1450 should be concidered? All families that joined any Clan after that is in most incorrect and whatever late documents tell, it is still a mystery how they could get there! If You are interested, I can forward publication on that matter for You to read.
Publications of Gajl (herbarz) that most lists are made of on wiki is just a list of names that in some documents are linked to a CoA but most of those documents are not veryfied being of any value. Gajl want to find as many names as possible to sell his books - what he did past 30 year of researching documents is truly galactic work - his last book just amazing, I cant even imagine that he is still in good mental health and this. He check the documents if they are not false but of course, he cannot examine if there are errors or not - it is impossible for 1-2 persons to do that - it take army of historians working for 30 years to verify 10 CoA and all families that are on his list. Most of art on CoA on pl:wiki and en:wiki use his list and make people think that it is correct - he found the documents, he published the books - so it have to be correct, but is it really so?
I will here give You one good example that refere what Im writing about, about the errors. Check the stub on pl:wiki that I created "Mościc z Wielkiego Kozmina" (yes, it is written Moscic de Magni Kozmin in latin). In the section of "Bibliografia" You see 3 references, the last one of Matelski - or it is a publication of 3 professors - Matelski, Nawrocki and Radomski. In their publication 1997 they write Moscic z Wielkiego Kozmina herbu Ostoja - the voivode of Poznan 1242-1252. Now, how on earth can they publish such nonsens? There is no seals of Moscic preserved and we then cannot establish if there was any CoA in year 1242 - it could possibly be question of family sign (in polish protoherb - that we found just few years ago and now can verify who it belonged to from year 1232). Ask those 3 professors for sources and they will not be able to give You any! But this is not the worse thing in this particular case. Much more interesting would be to ask them for sources that prove existence of Moscic! The tricky part here is that the sources they use are not realible. Paprocki? :)) We have people that digg in the archives in Germany (Teutonic Knights), Poland, Slovakia and more - we know latin, german and russian (except me, read only polish) - and You know what? We can't find any note about him, the guy simply does not exist - and surely he was not the owner of Wielki Kozmin! We will do last check on that in certain archives to be sure before I remove him from wiki and from the website of the Ostoja Clan Association. Is it not strange that we now 2013 still publish fairy tells that have been published by people that did not do proper research and that in many cases invented information? Check in Boniecki (Herbarz) for Poniecki family and You will see Scibor z Ponieca ab. year 1100. If You digg into this matter, You will not be able to see any proof that this guy origin from "Ostoja" family and reading all documents avaiable in the archives and in IH PAN, it does not make sence that he could possibly be owner of Poniec at that time. Same with Sciborze from 1065 - written there by Benedictines and known as falsificate from 100 years later, they simply dated documents 100 years back in time. If we read carefully, we would then know that Sciborze could not be in Ostoja family hands before year 1200.
I could write about all those errors days and weeks and after that I would still not know even 1% of them - add all people that do research on this and You would be terrified! Did You know that more than 50% of all nobility verifications during the partition time given to families by the Herold of Polish Kingdom (Heroldia Krolewska) are absolutely useless? :) So...if I now would write art on Moscic de Magni Kozmin, the voivode of Poznan in en:wiki, I would easily make art with given sources and publications but...I would then also publish something that to 90% is not true. In same time, when discussing names like Jan z Jani, I understand Your point of view - that we have to give source when we publish. Here, I would have to copy from polish and German documents from medieval time and it would be possible to prove it. You know perfectly well that at that time everything was written in latin. Basically, it is not so important wherever art will be spelled Jan z Jani or Jan den Jani, it is just that I don't like to take part in publishing errors - like I did in the case of "Ostoja (herb szlachecki). I also need to make few corrections on the art of "Clan of Ostoja" - here I think we could have GA if I could get time to add page nr. to references. When I started writing, I was stupid to not add them from the beginning.
In the end, it is a question of the intension - do You prefere to write art regardless if it is right or wrong but published and so there is a reference or do You prefere to publish what is more correct? We all do errors since its human to do that but still, what are the intensions? Do we write about Zawisza Czarny that he was most known polish knight and telling the truth? :) Or shall we write the true story about this guy? Think about it...as for me, as soon I have any useful new publication, I will most certainly change much more - as I did already with art "Ostoja coat of arms" - as you can see - there are many imaginary Ostoja CoA. Lets be honest, all heraldists before WW II where amateurs and we also know that since XVII century it was common to group all CoA that are similar and call them "variant" of X CoA - witch is crime on heraldry but...someone invented this horrible thing and all other followed John. Not to mension all crime done on original CoA - here at least the story in the art "Ostoja (herb szlachecki)" is very correct. Finally, there are people that started to make corrections, there will be more and more publications but until then...we should be aware of all those errors in the field of heraldry, genealogy and given names. Best regards, camdan (talk) 06:56, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
Excellent work on Armia Krajowa! You are right on the reference and explenation when sources are not sufficient, I reckon that I read to many documents from medieval time so for me latin translation is pretty obviouse and normal. When You see Scibor in pl and Stibor in en I recall to Stiborius and understand the origin of the pronouncement. So if there are no other sources, we translate old medieval names adding latin. Other suggestions I have following Kaj Malachowskis example is to translate Starosta as Lord of regality since it is exactly same function. I have been reading history since 1986 and I can tell You than I now understand that my knowledge is just top of the iceberg. But I will follow Your kind remark and write explanation to the spelling of the name. As for sources, it is almost impossible to defend without them so yes, in most cases we do have to wait for ne publications. Regards, camdan (talk) 18:14, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
I undestand that translation could be confusing since offices often changed characters and in Lithuania in XV century it was quite different than office of starosta in for ex. Mazowsze but generally it does correspond well with Lord of regality and it make more sence to the reader that does not know anything about polish offices and ranks. Palatine is different as is the voivode title. Here, to not confuse the reader I would also use polish spelling but before year 1500 it clearly corresponded to german herzog so it is correct to translate as duke. I discussed matter of spelling names (medieval time) in english with some excellent historians and they actually say that to not confuse the reader it's ok to use Jan of Janie although they would prefer Joannes de Janie as most correct. So basically, this discussion would be usefull if we agree on translationg with of. Finally, I would be greatfull if You correspond with me before changing in the future. Even if I would be best in the world on the subject I still would be open for any suggestion with all the respect, right or wrong. Also, as I can see, there are people that are commenting issues without basic knowledge so putting Jan de Jani for voting is useless, unless You just with to have your own right on this. Im pretty surprised how people can come to conclusion that de in Jan de Jani is french when talking about medieval names. I read and study so much history that I now start to make the correction of what I know. This is because there are very few correct publications and few authors that did correct research. So in most, we have to learn with errors for some 20 year and then for next 20 years start to correct all this bullshit those professors and amateurs wrote. so lets make it easy and move Jan de Jani to Jan of Janie camdan (talk) 13:03, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
Greetings again. I see that the discussion does not move forward, maybe time for the decision. To avoid future discussions like this, I will change most spellings in other cases from latin de to english of so it will have same or similat spelling all over the line. I then strongly recommend that we change spelling to Jan of Janie and then close this chapter. When I redirected the art, I saw that history and comments did not follow, I think that You are more used to move art and I would therefore kindly ask You to move the art since it will be done in more correct way. camdan (talk) 12:08, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
Since my point os view have not been regarded and the art of Jan de Jani was moved to "Jan z Jani", I requested this matter to be solved on Dispute resolution noticeboard. camdan (talk) 17:04, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
I closed the discussion on Dispute resolution board, I also thank You for input, I saw comment of BDD that was posted on his talk page, he did not send it on mine os here matter is also closed. However, I would be gratefull if we could go forward with this issue because there will be more like that in the future so to save time, I think it would be good to get some consensus also regsrding wiki rules. Otherwise, we will in the future have ten or hundreds of such discussion and waste lot of time. Since You are more familear with wiki rules than me, could You - when You have time - go back to this issue so we can end this kind of discussion and move forward and create?

Consensus of spelling polish names

Hello again, I try not be to long this time. I looked at WP:COMMONNAME and if i understand it all right, spelling in this matter should be reach by consensus. So basically, I could probably defend spelling Jan of Janie, although there is no english publication that include this spelling (there is no en publication in subject at all). I suggest then that we start over again and try to reach consensus and then see where we end with this question. I already wrote on tak page that we have several spellings with preposition of: Spytek of Melsztyn, Spytek of Tarnów and Jarosław, Stibor of Stiboricz, Mikołaj of Kutno, Piotr of Grudziądz, Wojciech of Bogoria and Żminogród, or Sędziwój of Czechel and more. So...how do I start this new discussion? I have enough with arguments for this one. Best regards, camdan (talk) 20:49, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Primary and Secondary sources Diagram

I have removed the diagram that you added recently to the Primary and Secondary Sources articles. It looks like a Venn diagram and therefore implies that primary sources are a subset of secondary sources which is not true. Rjm at sleepers (talk) 10:52, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Vital articles discussion

Hi there. You have participated in past discussion at Wikipedia talk:Vital articles, namely about possible additions and deletions to the vital 1000 articles. There is a new, similar discussion there now, myself and other users are giving input as to whether they support or oppose the idea of certain articles being added or deleted from the vital 1000 like before. Some of the proposals have been brought up before, and some are new. There are only a small number of users giving their views but we would like more, if you are still interested we would appreciate your input there, thank you.

Jan z Jani

I ended up getting sucked in to a WP:DRN discussion after supporting the requested move you proposed for Jan z Jani. Apparently User:Camdan who objected and prefer it staying at Jan de Jani still wants to fight what already should have been resolved. Hope all is well, old friend. If you need any further comments or help on the matter, just let me know.--ColonelHenry (talk) 00:11, 19 March 2013 (UTC)


Two things:

  • First: I placed a reference on Jan z Jani describing the Medieval Latin/French/Dutch origins of that spelling of the name with sources. Please review.
  • Second: Apparently, after days of hearing User:camdan telling me my opinions didn't matter be I was (according to him) "uneducated" and that my contributions to the discussion were without value, he's now asking at WP:AN#Article ban request asked that I be banned from editing or participating in anything remotely related to Jan z Jani...and all because I responded (once) to call him a półgłówek after his three-day tirade of abusive belittling comments directed at silencing me. If you'd like to comment there, I'd appreciate it.--ColonelHenry (talk) 06:35, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Would I be helping or hindering?

Hi Piotrus.
I've made a few little tidies in GaHee Park's contributions. I understand that Ga Hee is a participant in Wikipedia:School and university projects/User:Piotrus/Spring 2013. I'm very fond of Korea-related subjects (cherchez la femme) , and have also heavily edited articles and sometimes written whole articles for other school projects. I just like helping out.
It appears best if I just limit myself to little tidies in this case. To do otherwise might defeat the point of this school project: it's part of an assessed course after all.

LEE JUNG HYUN

I've given LEE JUNG HYUN a brief explanation of why I reverted his edits below another user's warning/welcome that pointed him towards the Korean Wikipedia, which I think may be the best way forwards, seeing as he has acquired another 4 warnings for this month on top of the 4 he already had. Personally, I think his grasp of English is simply too poor at this time to constructively contribute to the English Wikipedia, and he also does not seem to understand that a source must be included with addition of new information.

Hi. You seem to have taken an interest in Advice Polack, and I wonder if you'd mind participating in the discussion at Talk:Advice Polack#Let.27s_try_again. As you'll see there, one editor forcefully insists that the sources aren't reliable, but so far the discussion hasn't been very fruitful. I gave up the fight a few months ago, but perhaps you can help break the deadlock. EEng (talk) 18:06, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

I've created separate Talk subsections for each source Talk:Advice_Polack#Sources.2C_one_by_one. Since you seem familiar with Polish culture and media, it would be a real help if you could comment on each source's reliability to the extent you can. You gave a quick comment earlier in the discussion on several sources -- can you expand on that? For example, at one point you said "(if you consider tabloids reliable)" (or something like that) but I can't tell if you're saying just the one source immediately preceding those words is a tabloid, or all the sources up to the point in your sentence.

Incorrect interwiki

Hellow!

In articles which I've written in Polish and English Wikipedia happened something wrong with the interwikis. I mean the series of articles about Vetulani family - interwiki redirects not to the article about particular person in Wikipedia in different language, but to the template with whole family tree (see for example interwikis in article Adam Vetulani - Adam Vetulani). It is caused by recent activity of Addbot. I have no idea how to fix it. Do you have any? I'm asking you as an experienced and knowledgeable editor in English Wikipedia.

WikiCup 2013 March newsletter

We are halfway through round two. Pool A sees the strongest competition, with five out of eight of its competitors scoring over 100, and Pool H is lagging, with half of its competitors yet to score. WikiCup veterans lead overall; Pool A's Colorado Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) (2010's winner) leads overall, with poolmate London Miyagawa (submissions) (a finalist in 2011 and 2012) not far behind. Pool F's New South Wales Casliber (submissions) (a finalist in 2010, 2011 and 2012) is in third. The top two scorers in each pool, as well as the next highest 16 scorers overall, will progress to round three at the end of April.

Today has seen a number of Easter-themed did you knows from WikiCup participants, and March has seen collaboration from contestants with WikiWomen's History Month. It's great to see the WikiCup being used as a locus of collaboration; if you know of any collaborative efforts going on, or want to start anything up, please feel free to use the WikiCup talk page to help find interested editors. As well as fostering collaboration, we're also seeing the Cup encouraging the improvement of high-importance articles through the bonus point system. Highlights from the last month include GAs on physicist Niels Bohr (Australia Hawkeye7 (submissions)), on the European hare (Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions)), on the constellation Circinus (Alaska Keilana (submissions) and New South Wales Casliber (submissions)) and on the Third Epistle of John (Indiana Cerebellum (submissions)). All of these subjects were covered on at least 50 Wikipedias at the beginning of the year and, subsequently, each contribution was awarded at least three times as many points as normal.

Wikipedians who enjoy friendly competition may be interested in participating in April's wikification drive. While wikifying an article is typically not considered "significant work" such that it can be claimed for WikiCup points, such gnomish work is often invaluable in keeping articles in shape, and is typically very helpful for new writers who may not be familiar with formatting norms.

A quick reminder: now, submission pages will need only a link to the article and a link to the nomination page, or, in the case of good article reviews, a link to the review only. See your submissions' page for details. This will hopefully make updating submission pages a little less tedious. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Ja bym to jednak mimo to przekleił do głównej, a przypisy można dodać z pl-wiki. Tylko to trochę fałszowanie przypisów by było, bo tych artykułów nie czytałem, a obecnie są w płatnych archiwach - z drugiej stronjy tekst jest z grubsza taki sam, a tylko mocno poprawiony.

internet sociology

take a look at my article: Richard Jensen. "Military History on the Electronic Frontier: Wikipedia Fights the War of 1812," The Journal of Military History (October 2012) 76#4 pp 1165-82 online -- it explores the motives & behavior & psychology of heavy Wikipedia editors and compares them to the American frontiersmen of 1820s--of whom American historian Frederick Jackson Turner wrote in 1920:

"What they objected to was arbitrary obstacles, artificial limitations upon the freedom of each member of this frontier folk to work out his own career without fear or favor. What they instinctively opposed was the crystallization of differences, the monopolization of opportunity and the fixing of that monopoly by government or by social customs. The road must be open. The game must be played according to the rules. There must be no artificial stifling of equality of opportunity, no closed doors to the able, no stopping the free game before it was played to the end. More than that, there was an unformulated, perhaps, but very real feeling, that mere success in the game, by which the abler men were able to achieve preëminence gave to the successful ones no right to look down upon their neighbors, no vested title to assert superiority as a matter of pride and to the diminution of the equal right and dignity of the less successful."

You have new messages

The following message at the top of this page...

"You have new messages" was designed for a purpose: letting people know you have replied to them. I do not watch your talk page and I will likely IGNORE your reply if it is not copied to my page, as I will not be aware that you replied! Thank you.

...is the wrong thing to do. It assumes that every time you ask a question the editor who answers somehow knows to go to your talk page and read your message instead of following normal practice and posting the answer below the question. It is also rude for you to post a question on my talk page and then ignore my answer.

Wikipedia:Don't lose the thread#User talk page says "User discussions have a habit of being fragmented between the user talk pages, making it extremely difficult for other interested parties to follow." That is exactly what you are asking me to do; fragment the discussion between user talk pages.

Template:Usertalkback says:

There are currently 1,314 users with the above message on their talk page. In the seven years I have spent editing Wikipedia, yours is the first talk page I have seen that says replies will be ignored unless copied to the user's talk page.

Finally, your message makes a very dubious claim. Do you have any evidence that "You have new messages" was designed for the purpose that you claim it was designed for? Actually, (and you can verify this by reading the archives of the wikimedia developers discussions) the watchlist was designed for the purpose of allowing you to easily determine if someone has replied to your question in the same place that you asked it. --Guy Macon (talk) 04:38, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Copernicus (RfC: rewrite of the nationality section)

Hello Piotruś,

Please be advised that Polish users seem to be 'silenced down' by (German?) admins from voicing their opinions and concerns regarding the handling of article's edits/amendments on Copernicus' nationality.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Nicolaus_Copernicus#RfC:_rewrite_of_the_nationality_section

My comment, for that matter, has been deleted. See its' copy below:

___

  • I support the version proposed by Astronomer28 ([14]), which provides a clear, concise & neutral explanation of Copernicus' nationality, with the focus not on multiple free quotes from different historians and other people, but mainly on providing encyclopedic sources stating his nationality, which is Wikipedia's core principle. Also, regarding the above comment by IIIraute, I certainly don't agree with your proposal that "only established editor opinions should be taken into account", as before this new section was estbalished and the discussion started, two Polish users Astronomer28 and Mieszko_8 were banned yesterday by the admin Future_Perfect_at_Sunrise, whose native language is - surprise, surprise - German. Hence, it may give rise to justified suspicion of a typical German sneaky attitude for handling the case in their favour in an unfair way.

___

To be honest, it appears that Wikipedia is sadly drifting into the direction of right and righteous...

Thank you for correct our project!

I am so sorry about my mistake. So I copied about our project on my sandbox and correct something. I have a question. I added a reference on the article before it moved. Is this wrong that I wrote? Also if I add some texts on the article, do I create that article on the Wikipedia?Dhtpgus90 (talk) 04:33, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

second mistake.....:(

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikipedia:_The_Missing_Manual/Formatting_and_Illustrating_Articles/Adding_Images#Uploading_an_Image_to_the_Commons

Images at Wikimedia Commons are available to all Wikipedias, not just the English one. Images in the Commons don't have to actually be used in an article. They are there because they could be used in an article. You can take useful photos, upload them, and come back later to use them. Or not—they're still available to every other editor at the different language Wikipedias.

"Public domain" means that anyone can use the image however they like without restriction. If you want re-users of your image to attribute it to you, pick one of the other five options. If you're unsure about licensing, just click each one and read the explanations.

I accidently didn't log in again :( I linked both wikimedia commons and public domain on top of that page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GaHee Park (talk • contribs) 13:25, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Zygmunt Szczotkowski

Witaj

Czas jakiś temu zwróciłem się do paru kolegów, których angielszczyzna jest na poziomie wyższym od mojego (samokrytycznie: czytając rozumiem, ale pisać się wzbraniam, nie chcąc popełniać ciężkich błędów), aby zechcieli przełożyć do en:wiki biogram Zygmunta Szczotkowskiego. Ma on już swoje wersje - oprócz polskiej - niemiecką i ukraińską, brakuje jednak angielskiej (potem zacznę myśleć jeszcze nad rosyjską).

Efektem tej mojej prośby jest niedokończony tekst angielski w brudnopisie kol. Wpedzicha: User:Wpedzich/Sandbox. Brakuje tam już tylko kilku zdań (dokładnie pięciu zdań tekstu i czterech przypisów), ale kol. Wpedzich zdaje się ma w tej chwili co innego na głowie, dlatego pozwalam sobie zwrócić się tym razem do Ciebie, byś zechciał ten biogram uzupełnić.

Będę Ci ogromnie wdzięczny, jeśli wyrazisz zgodę i zechcesz mi pomóc. Julo (talk) 20:17, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

  • Dzięki, czekam zatem na uzupełnienia. Dodam jedynie, że dziś rano otrzymałem od Michała Rosa z Australii jego wersję (nieco krótszą niż Wpedzicha) tego biogramu, w zasadzie - w Michała opinii, oprócz paru znaków zapytania - dokończoną. Umieściłem ją już w przestrzeni głównej jako niemal kompletną: Zygmunt Szczotkowski.

Iain Banks

Thanks for your message. I was very up for working on the article and had collected sources, but there are some pretty unpleasant editors currently attached to it - not doing any work on it, mind, just finger pointing. It doesn't seem as if some of this group are interested in a pleasant and conducive editing atmosphere so I'm not sure I want to be part of it, much as I admire Banks.
