Deprodding of NeuronDotNet

I have removed the {{proposed deletion/dated}} tag from NeuronDotNet, which you proposed for deletion. It was not obvious to me that deleting this article would lead to overall improvement. Subject belongs to area that might be under-represented on Wikipedia. It would make sense to make substantial progress in the whole area first, then see if the particular article is really not notable enough and should be deleted. There is definitely space for improvement of the article itself, let's see if it can attract editors to do it.. If you still think this article should be deleted, please do not add {{proposed deletion}} back to the file. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

Deprodding of Accord.NET

I have removed the {{proposed deletion/dated}} tag from Accord.NET, which you proposed for deletion. Subject belongs to area that might be under-represented on Wikipedia, and I strongly believe this particular one does not lack notability. On the contrary, I hope the article will soon be improved and expanded to be more useful to Wikipedia users.. If you still think this article should be deleted, please do not add {{proposed deletion}} back to the file. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

Deprodding of Amebis

I have removed the {{proposed deletion/dated}} tag from Amebis, which you proposed for deletion. I disagree on lack of notability, and article was deprod-ed by another user (it's normally foreseen that user would insert Deprod template, but let's not be hairsplittingly bureaucratic).. If you still think this article should be deleted, please do not add {{proposed deletion}} back to the file. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

Greetings, Professor. My name is Heo Yoonjae and student ID is 2012046731. I send this message that I had finished the assignment [Wikipedia:Training/For students].

Hanyang Univ-Globalization2017-Tae Joon Yoo (2015048840)

I have finished wikipedia:Training for sutdents and got certification. I have decided to work on "Food truck in korea" with Mina Kim and Jihyeon Lim.

Park SangJun, Jo SungBin,Cheon ByoungHyun. We choice article.

We examined articles and decided on articles. We choice article that are Coin Karaoke in English, Korean both. If it is not possible to do the same thing, we choice article that Coin Karaoke in English, PRIME POLICY in Korean. The reason we chose the coin karaoke room is that it has appeared a lot in Korea now and that it has a good possibility of globalization. Korean coin karaoke has started to grow since 2010. At present, there is one coin karaoke in every street, and it became one of the hobby life of 20s and 30s. Unlike traditional karaoke, it is made for one or two people, and we think that there is a possibility of globalization because it can be enjoyed lightly. The prime business in Korea is a policy supported by the government for the globalization of universities. Therefore, it was determined that it was related to globalization, and we decided as an article. I would like to ask if the theme we have set is a good and interesting subject.

Also, our team(3) completed wikipedia training.

Editing News #1—2018

Read this in another language • Subscription list for the English Wikipedia • Subscription list for the multilingual edition

Did you know?

Did you know that you can now use the visual diff tool on any page?

Sometimes, it is hard to see important changes in a wikitext diff. This screenshot of a wikitext diff (click to enlarge) shows that the paragraphs have been rearranged, but it does not highlight the removal of a word or the addition of a new sentence.

If you enable the Beta Feature for "⧼visualeditor-preference-visualdiffpage-label⧽", you will have a new option. It will give you a new box at the top of every diff page. This box will let you choose either diff system on any edit.

Click the toggle button to switch between visual and wikitext diffs.

In the visual diff, additions, removals, new links, and formatting changes will be highlighted. Other changes, such as changing the size of an image, are described in notes on the side.

This screenshot shows the same edit as the wikitext diff. The visual diff highlights the removal of one word and the addition of a new sentence. An arrow indicates that the paragraph changed location.

You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has spent most of their time supporting the 2017 wikitext editor mode, which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and improving the visual diff tool. Their work board is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor, and improving the visual diff tool.

Recent changes

• The 2017 wikitext editor is available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices. It has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools. The team have been comparing the performance of different editing environments. They have studied how long it takes to open the page and start typing. The study uses data for more than one million edits during December and January. Some changes have been made to improve the speed of the 2017 wikitext editor and the visual editor. Recently, the 2017 wikitext editor opened fastest for most edits, and the 2010 WikiEditor was fastest for some edits. More information will be posted at mw:Contributors/Projects/Editing performance.
• The visual diff tool was developed for the visual editor. It is now available to all users of the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. When you review your changes, you can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs. You can also enable the new Beta Feature for "Visual diffs". The Beta Feature lets you use the visual diff tool to view other people's edits on page histories and Special:RecentChanges. [1]
• Wikitext syntax highlighting is available as a Beta Feature for both the 2017 wikitext editor and the 2010 wikitext editor. [2]
• The citoid service automatically translates URLs, DOIs, ISBNs, and PubMed id numbers into wikitext citation templates. This tool has been used at the English Wikipedia for a long time. It is very popular and useful to editors, although it can be tricky for admins to set up. Other wikis can have this service, too. Please read the instructions. You can ask the team to help you enable citoid at your wiki.

Let's work together

• The team is planning a presentation about editing tools for an upcoming Wikimedia Foundation metrics and activities meeting.
• Wikibooks, Wikiversity, and other communities may have the visual editor made available by default to contributors. If your community wants this, then please contact Dan Garry.
• The <references /> block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens. This makes footnotes easier to read. This has already been enabled at the English Wikipedia. If you want columns for a long list of footnotes on this wiki, you can use either <references /> or the plain (no parameters) {{reflist}} template. If you edit a different wiki, you can request multi-column support for your wiki. [3]
• If you aren't reading this in your preferred language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly. We will notify you when the next issue is ready for translation. Thank you!

WikiCup 2018 March newsletter

And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. With 53 contestants qualifying, the groups for round 2 are slightly smaller than usual, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining users.

Our top scorers in round 1 were:

• Aoba47 led the field with a featured article, 8 good articles and 42 GARs, giving a total of 666 points.
• FrB.TG , a WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points, gained from a featured article and masses of bonus points.
• Ssven2, another WikiCup newcomer, was in third place with 403 points, garnered from a featured article, a featured list, a good article and twelve GARs.
• Ceranthor, Numerounovedant, Carbrera, Farang Rak Tham and Cartoon network freak all had over 200 points, but like all the other contestants, now have to start again from scratch. A good achievement was the 193 GARs performed by WikiCup contestants, comparing very favourably with the 54 GAs they achieved.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. 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.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

There was a massacre during World War II known as the Naliboki massacre where's Soviet and Jewish partisans aided in the killing of Poles. The page itself mentions the Jewish collaborators and it is sourced from a Holocaust memorial site as well as an additional sources. Several users keep trying to edit war/vandalize and undo the mention of Jewish perpetrators such as יניב הורון or Beyond My Ken. I'm not experienced with Wikipedia protocol and rules as much as you guys are so if I may ask, can you help take action and report them somehow? I don't know the mechanics of how things here work. I have warned them on their talk pages yet despite this they continue to vandalize the article. Chester Leszek (talk)

What is unclear here?

I am a bit boggled at your dropping a fact tag at Sea_of_Japan#Names. Have you not read Sea of Japan naming dispute, one of the more famous nationalistic geography battle fields here at WP? And which is linked from the very next section Sea_of_Japan#Naming_dispute. What is not answered by reference to that linked article, that would be somehow be answered by citation solicited by your tag? Shenme (talk) 09:44, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Well Liancourt Rocks and the like articles are in exactly the "same boat" (a shallow attempt at a pun (punt?)). See Liancourt_Rocks#Sovereignty_dispute linking to its own article Liancourt Rocks dispute.

Really, reading the Sea of Japan naming dispute should reveal all (and it should have all the citations you would need), but even more revealing is reading the article history for any of these associated articles. The sheer number of times there have been tit-for-tat changes of "East Sea", to "Sea of Japan", to "East Sea (Sea of Japan)", to "Sea of Japan (East Sea)" and variations should give warning that this can be an unending and irrational cycle of trying to satisfy dire enemies. It has been found to be irrational for Wikipedia to try to satisfy those warriors (every nation has them, yes?), and the only resolution was to link to the naming dispute article from Sea of Japan. And asking for links to that dispute article from all possible mentions of that geographic area is not going to work.

So, angry reader is supposed to rush off to Sea of Japan and see the dispute noted and go to dispute article, and see the extensive treatment there. Angry reader won't be any less angry, but they just might feel less inclined to manipulating WP by whatever means, because it is discussed/documented.

This whole area - Korean/Japanese antagonism - is (in)famous here. Ahh, found the commemorations: WP:Lamest_edit_wars/Ethnic_feuds#Liancourt_Rocks and Wikipedia:Lamest_edit_wars/Ethnic_feuds#Sea_of_Japan. The conflict is even lampooned - I found Talk:Sea_of_Japan_naming_dispute/Archive_5#Page_no_longer_neutral as one example, of disputed disputes being talk page disputed. (At least I hope it is humor)

But a short scan of any of those talk page 'discussions' will convince you to never swim in those waters. This water hole is poisoned and will kill your horse. Oh, good grief - Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Liancourt_Rocks. Some of these articles are under "Discretionary Sanctions" (I don't want to look what that means)

Your "Korean friend" has done you a disservice, hopefully out of ignorance. Please refer them to the naming dispute article, *and* have them review *all* the talk page archives for Sea of Japan and the naming dispute article. Reading all that should make anyone sick of the whole subject.

BTW: Don't go anywhere near the parallel Persian_Gulf#Naming_dispute -> Persian Gulf naming dispute. "Persian Gulf!" says Iran. "Arabian Gulf!" says the guys on the other side. Gaah! Shenme (talk) 11:35, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Polish collaboration with Nazi Germany

The article Polish collaboration with Nazi Germany has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Duplicates content from Collaboration with the Axis Powers during World War II. Also, this article was set up in a middle of a content dispute [4] from text that was revered, and this can be considered as a possible attempt at Content forking.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

- English Wikipedia article(EW): The topic of EW which I selected is the Korean seasonal custom. There is no page about it now, so I want to make a new article. There are many materials about Korean seasonal custom, so to make an article about it will be meaningful work.

- Korean Wikipedia article(KW): I will start to write a new article about Gift economy. There is an English article about it, but there is no a Korean Wikipedia article although it is very famous theory. So I chose this topic.

I should be grateful if you would give us some feedback. Thank you.--Yeon So Jeong (talk) 08:57, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

Content related to topics on Poland

I'd like to make an observation and general comment regarding the articles related to Poland and in this case the issue of collaboration. At this point we now have 3 very long texts related to collaboration in Poland, one in Collaboration with the Axis Powers during World War II, your new article Polish collaboration with Nazi Germany, and finally there is the equally long History of Poland (1939–1945)#Collaboration with the occupiers. Do you not think that this creates Undue weight?? Also, I noticed that you, in one of your earlier edits, added this picture of the Blue Police [5] to the original article on WW2 collaboration. So, it strikes me that there is a constant push to make issues related to Poland look ODD and overly NEGATIVE. I say this because I constantly see weird facts, containing large blocks of text and references (not found on other country specific articles) being added to the Poland article, such as traffic death statistics, slavery in Poland or dependence on EU subsidies, etc. I take Wikipedias rules on Wikipedia:Assume bad faith very seriously, but also there has been a lot written about Criticism of Wikipedia, and how particular narratives are pushed on some topics by groups of editors—and, Poland related articles seem to constantly attract editors who focus on emphasizing the negative. --E-960 (talk) 10:18, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

• What you are doing is Wikipedia:Civil POV pushing, overly focusing on the BAD and the UGLY about topics related to Poland, and I want to call out that fact. How else can you explain 3 very long texts on Polish collaboration on Wikipedia?? Yet, you and other editors stubornly justify and think that creating a separate article on the topic is still not too much. Maybe just create an article called "How bad, lousy and terrible Poland is". Because that's the ultimate aim here of some editors, it's no accident that this issue came up now, just as the topic is in the news. --E-960 (talk) 10:48, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

Massacre of Brzostowica Mała

No, I'm not saying that it's unverifiable that the massacre took place. The concern is more about the depth of coverage it's received. The sources you've listed do seem to mention the subject in passing rather than devoting substantial coverage to it. That is usually a sign that we shouldn't cover the topic or that it should be covered in an article about a wider topic. Hut 8.5 12:10, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

Deletion review isn't intended to be a second round of AfD, it's more for deciding things like whether the discussion was closed correctly or whether the situation has changed significantly enough that the AfD is no longer valid. You can present new sources and argue that as significant new information has come to light the issue should be reopened, but it'll need to be something which is a significant improvement on what was presented in the AfD. What I personally think constitutes evidence of notability isn't necessarily relevant, as the discussion is about whether we should overturn or reopen the AfD rather than whether the subject is notable.

Szarlowski Moro Phillips

(I'm re-submitting this by direct edit because I hit the "Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try saving your changes again. If it still does not work, try logging out and logging back in." error -- however, that bug has been fixed for most of a year, so I'm confused why I'd be seeing this (and I don't have many wikipedia pages I've touched lately, and almost all on en.wikipedia.org. As I work at Mozilla, I may look into this.)

Hi! I saw you made a number of edits to the November Uprising page and to Army of Congress Poland. I'm researching my great-great-grandfather, Szarlowski Moro Phillips (who renamed himself S. Moro Phillips or Moro Phillips after coming to the US). Family history and news articles say that he was a "cadet" in the rebellion of 1830, and after that came to the US sometime after that -- supposedly Boston, then New Orleans, ending up in Galveston, Texas (then a separate country) in the early 1840's. (supposedly after he was shipwrecked near there, but that's very poorly supported). I'm hoping to find some way to get access to or otherwise check any records of the cadet corp of the time, which I understand was involved in the initial stage of the rebellion. Can you help me, give me pointers to records, tell me what records might exist, or connect me to someone who could help me doing research in Poland? Since you have done a lot of editing on Polish pages, and specifically those pages, I hoped you might have some ideas. (Note: I don't read Polish (or German or Russian), beyond what translate.google.com can do for me.)

This has a lot of the info I have on him; I also have various newspaper articles and the like, though they generally don't tell much more about his Polish background. https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/4693668/person/-1563527970/facts

The family name (Szarlowski) is poorly recorded in documents that I know of, though that's the name written on an old photograph of him and his children, and I believe recorded where he's buried; newspapers have many interesting variations on it (Charlotsky, Sakrovolaski). Supposedly "Moro" was an important name in the family; Phillips may or may not have been part of his original name - supposedly after coming to the US he chose to be known as "Moro Phillips" because Phillips was an english-sounding name. (One story has him doing so after seeing Phillips on a shoemaker's sign.) He was supposedly born in 1812 in Berlin (so would have been ~18 in 1830). A story from his daughter's diary has Moro's father being a diplomat perhaps stationed in Berlin and his mother perhaps from berlin (maybe...). I'm told (no first-hand-knowledge) that there was once a picture (painting?) of him in a Prussian uniform (but this is at least 3rd-hand), and there were gold buttons with a family crest which were stolen some decades ago.

Supposedly he had money from an uncle when he came to the US, and had studied chemistry - he later became on of the wealthiest people in Philadelphia by making and selling super-phosphate fertilizer. One story records he was born and raised Roman Catholic (and that his brother was a Jesuit); he converted to Episcopal shortly before his death. The jesuit angle *might* be another way to attack this, but that seems even harder (and far less certain, as there's only one mention of that, I think from a grandchild).

After a number of interesting ventures and adventures in Galveston (including the US asking Texas to extradite him for supposedly stealing 2 slaves in New Orleans, and building the largest building in the town (the "Moro Castle")), he made friends with a banker hiding from US law. When the banker was offered amnesty to return to Philadelphia and testify, Moro came along and eventually married the daughter of the banker (and became an extremely wealthy businessman). He told his children to "forget the nobility nonsense", but as soon as he died several clearly ignored that - his eldest son, Moro Phillips, moved to England and was known as "Duke Moro de Moro" for the rest of his life there. A daughter divorced her husband, moved to Europe and became known as Countess Marinka de Moro Potter (her married name was Mary Phillips Potter). Both went to Russia (then including Poland) shortly after their father's death in 1885. A granddaughter also was very much in the social circles in Europe right after WWI, and said to have turned down a morganatic marriage from a Russian Prince or Duke -- however, the source of that story was a grandson who clearly tended to exaggerate. She did hang out in that type of crowd in Paris and elsewhere, it seems, though.

I realize this is a stretch to contact you, but I'm at an impasse at trying to investigate his Polish roots. I tried asking on the Herbarz mailing list many years ago, but without luck.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:

• tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
• adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
• updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
• creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film Files

Cześć, Piotrus!
I've just run into two files created by you ([6] and [7]). They are great, but unfortunately there are some problems with them:

• First File: The numbers of Italian, French and Japanese nominees and submissions:
  • Between 1956 and 2017 (except 1973), Italy submitted 61 films (not *64: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Italian_submissions_for_the_Academy_Award_for_Best_Foreign_Language_Film), and had 28 nominees (not *31. Between 1947 and 1955, the Academy presented Special/Honorary Awards to the best foreign language films released in the United States —Italy won 2 Special Awards in 1947 and 1949, and 1 Honorary Award in 1950, shared with France—, but those awards were not competitive, as there were no nominees but simply a winner every year that was voted on by the Board of Governors of the Academy).
  • Between 1956 and 2017, France submitted 62 films (not *64: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_French_submissions_for_the_Academy_Award_for_Best_Foreign_Language_Film), and had 37 nominees (not *39. Between 1947 and 1955, the Academy presented Special/Honorary Awards to the best foreign language films released in the United States —France won 1 Special Award in 1948, and 2 Honorary Awards in 1950, shared with Italy, and 1952—, but those awards were not competitive, as there were no nominees but simply a winner every year that was voted on by the Board of Governors of the Academy).
  • Between 1956 and 2017 (except 1976), Japan submitted 61 films (not *64: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Japanese_submissions_for_the_Academy_Award_for_Best_Foreign_Language_Film), and had 12 nominees (not *15. Between 1947 and 1955, the Academy presented Special/Honorary Awards to the best foreign language films released in the United States —Japan won 3 Honorary Awards in 1951, 1954 and 1955—, but those awards were not competitive, as there were no nominees but simply a winner every year that was voted on by the Board of Governors of the Academy).
  • Taiwan flag: Why the Chinese Taipei Olympic flag instead of the official Flag of the Republic of China?
• Second File: The name of the country is Nicaragua (not *Nicaraua).

That is all. Happy Easter. Best wishes! Alpinu (talk) 01:18, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Grabowski

Hello. I had replied to your kind message from a while back, but I forgot to tag you and I'm not sure you ever noticed it. Thank you again. Now, if you have the time for some idle chitchat with me, I have another thing to run by you: going over that Grabowski brouhaha (I first came across it because it was between entries on the DYK proposals page, and then I just had to read the replies), it really struck me as bewildering that nobody seems to have realized the essential weakness of his claims. They all reply to his protean estimates of the victim count, but nobody raises the issue of his absolute lack of data for the perpetrators count. He claims to dispel the "myth" of Polish innocence, rants about the nationalistic culture in Poland etc., but he never advances anything that would prove his point -- if it's a myth that most Poles were not involved in the killing, how many were involved? from the few specific claims he advances, it appears that his count of all criminals would still be way below 1% of the total General-Government population (if we count together all Blue Police and a likely number of professional informers; it's probably, let's assume by a large margin, 2% if you throw in all the Baudienst yunaki, and possibly all the Baudienst, on the assumption they were all murderers). I'm bewildered: could it really be that nobody ever confronted him on that? Dahn (talk) 16:26, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

Yes. Though I'm not sure what that adds, in the absence of any published RSes that would have taken up the same critique of his claims. The article would really need an editor who can read Polish, and can go on a dispassionate search for sources that involves looking for the arguments presented rather than for the most popular attacks on Grabowski (I mean, the editors' personal preference is on the level where they only went to an easily objectionable news portal for Gontarczyk's interview, when in literally a few seconds they could have picked up the interview from its impeccable source, national radio). Normally, I would try to conduct such research myself, but my understanding of Polish is indirectly proportional with my level of respect for Polish culture. Dahn (talk) 07:25, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Well I know I'm not bound, I just bound myself -- I tend to do that were the only thing I can really add to the article is balance. Concerning NOTFORUM: I generally try not to veer into secondary topics, but in this case I simply had to make some editors understand that simply stating an allegation that they agree with does not make it a fact, and that there are other possibilities allowed, conceivable, beyond "Grabowski wants to defame the Polish nation" and "the Poles are fascists, upset that Grabowski is uncovering their mythical self-perception". It was more about toning down editors' assumptions, to make them identify the space between political agitation and critical thinking.

And yes, I can see how Poland (and Hungary, and in different, even more ridiculous way, Romania) are getting to have media institutions bound by propaganda priorities. In this case, however, I was not bringing up bias or lack thereof, but simply that a case can't be made on unreliability of interview claims, when you go straight to the source for the interview; the editorializing and whatnot, I'm sure can be awful. But as a more general thought, and expanding on some observations I made on the talk page: I'm sure there's quite legitimate criticism of PiS to be formulated, but the current anti-PiS (and to some degree anti-Polish-conservative, even anti-Polish) propaganda is absolutely insane, and prevents anyone interested in the topic from even identifying legitimate problems in 2018 Poland. But the idea that you could use "responsibility for the Holocaust" as a playing card in that conundrum, or that you could introduce as sane the notion that all nationalism (even objectionable one) is Nazism, not to mention creating the absurd universe in which Bauman is more credible than, say, Musial... or the notion that it's okay to minimize Soviet crimes, but at the same time invent Polish crimes... I mean it's seriously troubling that there are people who find exposure, and in some cases build a career, for that sort of thing. Dahn (talk) 08:16, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Rescue of Jews by Poles during the Holocaust

Witam, znalazłem Pańską stronę / jak w tytule / . To bardzo ważne co Pan napisał. Też chciałem coś zroić w tej sprawie bo znalazłem chyba celowo zapomniany dokument >> The black book of polish jewry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_black_book_of_polish_jewry

Tutaj jest więcej na ten temat

>> http://ziut.neon24.pl/post/142354,fragmenty-o-holokauscie-the-black-book-of-polish-jewry-1943

To bardzo ważna książka a właściwie dwie i nikt o nich nie pisze, a szkoda. Czy mógłby Pan na to zerknąć, i może coś dodać do tego co mi udało się z trudem zrobić.

Pozdrawiam serdecznie MS

WikiCup 2018 May newsletter

The second round of the 2018 WikiCup has now finished. Most contestants who advanced to the next round scored upwards of 100 points, but two with just 10 points managed to scrape through into round 3. Our top scorers in the last round were:

• Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with three featured articles
• Iazyges, with nine good articles and lots of bonus points
• Yashthepunisher, a first time contestant, with two featured lists
• SounderBruce, a finalist last year, with seventeen good topic articles
• Usernameunique, a first time contestant, with fourteen DYKs
• Muboshgu, a seasoned competitor, with three ITNs and
• Courcelles, another first time contestant, with twenty-seven GARs

So far contestants have achieved twelve featured articles between them and a splendid 124 good articles. Commendably, 326 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2018 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met; most of the GARs are fine, but a few have been a bit skimpy.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Fontina

Hallo, I reverted article about fontina since this guy pretends that cheese is produced adding crude oil to milk. Moreover, the same user vandalised several other articles about Italian cheeses, like pecorino romano (best if eaten with silkworms), and has been blocked yesterday. Alex2006 (talk) 16:26, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi Piotrus. Is there some kind of issue with mis-translation here? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:27, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for your answer. No, I did not notice that the author had problems, I just thought that she was a very skilled vandal, my fault. Maybe I can try to recover her edit then, if I understand what she meant there. I will search some reliable source on this cheese I try to correct what she wrote. Thanks again, Alex2006 (talk) 16:23, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, Piotrus. I have to admit that some of Sung's edits have really made me smile. And I must say others are very good. Well done Sung, for having a go! I'm actually thinking of suggesting Pecorino Romano with silkworms for the vicarage Spring Fête. It's just so trendy. Martinevans123 (talk) 18:18, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for fighting for your student

Hi, Piotrus,

I just noticed this ANI thread about an unfairly blocked student, and just wanted to make sure that your efforts to support and protect your student did not go unnoticed. I've left another welcome at their Talk page, and I hope that this experience has not soured them on the encyclopedia altogether. In fact, this deserves more than just a casual mention: I never gave a barnstar before, afaicr; but this deserves one. There doesn't seem to be a "Defender of the Newbies and Students" barnstar, so until someone creates one, this will have to do:

		The Special Barnstar
		To Piotrus, for his diligent efforts in supporting students and other newbies, and fighting on their behalf, especially in cases of overly bitey interactions.

Thanks again! Mathglot (talk) 09:07, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Westerplatte

Piotrus, I removed: "The Battle of Westerplatte is often described as the first European battle of World War II. " from the WWII article, because this sentence breaks the narrative and it provides no additional information (the Schleswig-Holstein caption tells the same more clearly: first shells of WWII were fired at Westerplatte). Since the space allows, can you please add one sentence to the story about Polish campaign or Polish resistance? If you know somebody else who can do it, can you please ask them to add something?--Paul Siebert (talk) 21:22, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Copy within Wikipedia

It appears that you copied or moved text from Jan T. Gross into Golden Harvest (book). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required.--S Philbrick(Talk) 13:50, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

I do see that you mentioned the source in the initial edit. Unfortunately, software which looks for copyright issues flagged this edit, whose edit summary is less clear. I tagged this edit as acceptable, but if you glance at a recent incident on my talk page User_talk:Sphilbrick#Arturo_Ferrarin, you can see that copying within Wikipedia and not following the minimum guideline can lead to a lot of pain.--S Philbrick(Talk) 13:55, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

Dear professor

Hello, I's student of your Sociology of everyday life. Geun Seo Jang. After a few trial and error, I was able to complete the article. My team suddenly dropped off so I made this article alone. I also have a request for review on Wikipedia, but if you let me know what you need to fix, I will improve it at any time. This is the first time I have written to Wikipedia, but it was interesting to write articles that were not listed on the wiki. As I wrote this article, I also asked foreigners about similar cases in their countries through mobile phone apps. It was a very meaningful task, and if I could do it again next time, I could do it better. Thank you for teaching me meaningful things during one semester. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazing_in_korean_military — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wkdrmstj (talk • contribs) 09:36, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

January Uprising

Hello Piotruś! If you have time in your schedule, would you mind looking at the re-jig I have done on the January Uprising article? It needs more verification, but I have done as much as I can for now. Many thanks. --Po Mieczu (talk) 12:57, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your encouragement! I agree with you that JU only deserves a "C" rating and here's why: having tried and failed to find verifications for the text as is, (i.e. the bits I have not rewritten) I finally had a read of the source text from which the old Wiki version was lifted verbatim. It is a rollicking yarn of 1917 by a medical doctor (Lewinski Corwin) clearly interested in history, but it is almost entirely unsourced. Moreover, no serious historian cites it. The one alleged quote from the unnamed British ambassador to Berlin in 1863 is attributed in the original to a "J. Ellis Barker" who turns out to be a one time German journalist who became a lay homeopath and changed his name when he settled in the UK. So no whiff of a historian anywhere just enthusiastic amateurs, I guess a bit like us, only they were not hindered by PV. I guess I, or somebody, will have to rewrite the rest of JU and source the material. Only then will it have a chance of verifiability. Hey ho.--Po Mieczu (talk) 14:37, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

Stawiki

I see you are working on this - I'm not touching this until AE is over. I suggest you revert to this - and then try to re-add anything you deem constructive from GCB's edits. There are several problems in the current version (e.g. the camps the Jews of the town were sent to, some of the cited sources. The location of the cites. And some omissions). When I removed the previous sources - I checked each and every one - most of them were not on Stawiki, and others were non-RS (or in the case of virtual-shtetl - a broken link to what I think is not a RS).Icewhiz (talk) 08:15, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Why should he? The article right now is better than your version that you keep demanding be restored. If you want to suggest further improvements, the talk page is over that way --> Volunteer Marek (talk) 08:34, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

@Volunteer Marek and Icewhiz: TBH, I don't see major differences between present and this revision. I'd recommend that further discussion of this takes place on talk. I'd be happy to review each sentence, etc. Also, both revisions seem to contain a lot of unrefenced content... --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:36, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

The version from March is all referenced (the Holocaust paragraph) - the relevant citation is at the end of each passage (there are few subsequent sentences sourced to the Jewish Life Encyclopedia and Yad Vashem - however all the information is in both of them).Icewhiz (talk) 08:51, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

@Icewhiz: I think I rescued all relevant citations and attributed content properly. Can you find sources to confirm the massacre happened on July 4-5? This is only implied by the source that mentions visit of Einsatzkommando. All other sources just talk of 'early July'. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:56, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

I'm not sure of the date per my reading - which is why I left it at early July. There are some sources who try to place it closer to Jedwabne (a day before - Jedwabne being on 10 July, IIRC) - but they are sources related to Jedwabne - and not a source I'd use (a Polish newspaper from 2001, translated in an academic book for discussing the discourse around Jedwabne). Note that the Einsatzkommando passing through does not mean that that was the date of the massacre - in some of the other towns the Einsatzkommando passed through, stirred the pot, and then the actual pogrom occured 2-3 days later (these things do need some organization) - they would essentially provoke the ring leaders into action (and letting them know that killing would be "OK" with the Germans), but the ring leaders still needed to round up their footmen. I think Bikont coverns Stawiki (and this would be a good source) - but it isn't available online easily.Icewhiz (talk) 09:12, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Thank you professor!

We complete our project with the help of your feedback. Thank you for your lesson I'll not forget the time we learn. :)

DYK for Secret City (book)

On 27 June 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Secret City (book), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in his 2002 book Secret City: The Hidden Jews of Warsaw 1940–1945, Gunnar S. Paulsson estimated that nearly a tenth of Warsaw's population were helping Jews during the Holocaust? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Secret City (book)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

WikiCup 2018 July newsletter

The third round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round had at least 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

• Courcelles, a first time contestant, with 1756 points, a tally built largely on 27 GAs related to the Olympics
• Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with two featured articles and three GAs on natural history and astronomy topics
• SounderBruce, a finalist last year, with a variety of submissions related to transport in the state of Washington

Contestants managed 7 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 120 good articles, 1 good topic, 124 DYK entries, 15 ITN entries, and 132 good article reviews. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 458 GA reviews, in comparison to 244 good articles submitted for review and promoted. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process; several submissions, particularly in abstruse or technical areas, have needed additional work to make them completely verifiable.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!
