Polish Communes

Hi Lajsikonik! Ops, sorry. It is a one of my habit, I use Voivodship :(. But I know about it; we use Voivodeship, becouse it is a standart on English Wikipedia. Pozdrawiam! Marcin Suwalczan [our talk] 13:16, 23 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Re: Villages In Poland

edit

Hi :-) Citation is generally useful and may help improve a stub article where there is little information on anything else. As you seem to have plenty of links, why not cite? It's not mandatory, but it is useful. Mentality 15:38, 23 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Communes, communes/Gminy, gminy

edit

Good evening Lajsikonik. "Gmina" or "Commune"? In my opinion the situation is clear - the term being used by us is "commune" (source) ;). Other topics - on IRC. Powinno być Houston, we have a problem :P. Pozdrawiam! Marcin Suwalczan [our talk] 19:15, 25 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hej/cześć

Few notes. Our resident expert on this is User:Balcer, make sure to drop him a note. See also semi-active Wikipedia:WikiProject Geography of Poland, where most of those issues were discussed and consensus was reached in the past, and if you ever want to get attention of most active Poland-related editors, do so by dropping a note at WP:PWNB - I highly recommend watching that page and taking part in the life of our little friendly community here :) -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  20:59, 25 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Polish villages and communes

edit

Hi. It is good to see another person interested in improving geographical articles related to Poland. I never worry too much about the precise form of article titles. They can always be easily moved to something more appropriate later. The important thing is to have the articles.

To answer your specific questions, my suggestions for ambiguous cases would be, following the practice of Polish Wikipedia (why not?)

  • "Name Commune (Voivodeship)"
  • and for villages "Name (Voivodeship)" - or "Name (County)" in cases where there is more than one village with a given nname in a Voivodeship. In rare cases of two villages of the same name in the same county (say Bochotnica), go with "Name (Commune").

For one example, see Hrebenne, Hrebenne (Tomaszów Lubelski County). Hope this helps. Balcer 23:38, 25 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Block

edit

About my removing of content in the article about the Himavanti Confraterinty Order - sorry, I didn't know that it was true but it was controversial content added without source. You also did the same in the article about Richard Matuszewski when I added info about his activism and you deleted it. And you can't just block me for "POV" just like that - I wasn't warned and I hadd asked not to be blocked in my edit discripton. Krystian 17:46, 16 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Aha, it's OK, you've shortened the block. Krystian 20:23, 16 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
It wasn't block "just 'cause POV", and matter this time wasn't controversial: it is well known fact that Mohan was three times arested, (you should use {fakt} temlate in this case, now it is properly sourced), but it wasn't main reason. Main reason was, again, an edit war, and you has been warned to do not "hide" a proper edits between POV to make rewert harder, and to discuss imortant change first on discussion page, you just won't search the consensus with other users (Rdrozd, Migatu, Szwedzki, and others) in controversial matter.

Why do you think the sources are insufficient. You supported the article on pl.wiki when there were even fewer sources? Kkrystian 14:37, 22 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Ludowe Zespoły Sportowe

I don't think the link you have added addresses the concern. It appears that is just a list of links from my check of the government site. It doesn't appear to address what LZS is at all. Am I missing something within that site? Erechtheus 00:32, 4 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Notability of Forgotten Sunrise

edit

A tag has been placed on Forgotten Sunrise requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. tomasz. 22:07, 14 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Actually, the reason I tagged it is that I'm pretty bad at doing copyediting myself; I tend to miss a lot of things that need work. The tag is there so that someone who does have experience in copyediting can fix it up. It works quite well; it usually takes a little time, but someone will come in to work on it. --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 13:27, 28 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Welcome to our first issue of WikiProject Poland newsletter, the Monitor (named after the first Polish newspaper).

Our Project has been operational since 1 June, 2005, and also serves as the Poland-related Wikipedia notice board. I highly recommend watchlisting the Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland page, so you can be aware of the ongoing discussions. We hope you will join us in them, if you haven't done so already! Unlike many other WikiProjects, we are quite active; in this year alone about 40 threads have been started on our discussion page, and we do a pretty good job at answering all issues raised.

In addition to a lively encyclopedic, Poland-related, English-language discussion forum, we have numerous useful tools that can be of use to you - and that you could help us maintain and develop:

This is not all; on our page you can find a list of useful templates (including userboxes), awards and other tools!

With all that said, how about you join our discussions at WT:POLAND? Surely, there must be something you could help others with, or perhaps you are in need of assistance yourself?

Wikipedia Help Survey

Hi there, my name's Peter Coombe and I'm a Wikimedia Community Fellow working on a project to improve Wikipedia's help system. At the moment I'm trying to learn more about how people use and find the current help pages. If you could help by filling out this brief survey about your experiences, I'd be very grateful. It should take less than 10 minutes, and your responses will not be tied to your username in any way.

Thank you for your time,

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Piotr Osiecki, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Polish (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

WikiProject Poland Newsletter • January 2014 • Issue II
For our freedom and yours

Welcome to the second issue of WikiProject Poland newsletter, the Monitor (named after the first Polish newspaper).

Our Project has been operational since 1 June, 2005, and also serves as the Poland-related Wikipedia notice board. I highly recommend watchlisting the Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland page, so you can be aware of the ongoing discussions. We hope you will join us in them, if you haven't done so already! Unlike many other WikiProjects, we are quite active; we get close to a hundred discussion threads each year and we do a pretty good job at answering all issues raised. Last year we were featured in the Signpost, and our interviewer was amazed at our activity. In the end, however, even as active as we are, we are just a tiny group - you can easily become one of our core members!

In addition to a lively encyclopedic, Poland-related, English-language discussion forum, we have numerous useful tools that can be of use to you - and that you could help us maintain and develop:

  • we have an active assessment department. As of now, our project has tagged almost 83,000 pages as Poland-related - that's an improvement of over 3,000 new pages since the last newsletter. Out of which 30 still need a quality assessment, and 2,000, importance assessment. We have done a lot to clear the backlog here (3 years ago those numbers were 1,500 and 20,000, respectively). Can you help assess a few pages?
    • assessing articles is as easy as filling in the class= and importance= parameters on the talk page in the {{WPPOLAND|class=|importance=}} template. See here for a how-to guide.
  • once an article has an assessment template, it will appear in our article alerts and news feed, which provides information on which Poland-related articles are considered for deletion, move, or are undergoing a Good or Featured review. Watchlisting that feed, in addition to watchlisting our project's main page, is a good way to make sure you stay up to date on most Poland-related discussions.
  • you can also see detailed deletion discussions at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Poland (which is a good place to watchlist if you just want to stay up to date on possible deletions of Poland-related content)
  • we have also begun B-class quality reviews on our talk page, and if our activity increases, hopefully we will be able to institute our own A-class quality reviews. As of now, we have about 500 C-class articles in need of a B-class review. If you'd like to help with them, instructions for doing B-class reviews are to be found in point 10 of our assessment FAQ. In addition to this automated list, you are also encouraged to help review articles from our B-class reviews requested list found here.
  • also, those articles will be included in our cleanup listing, which allows us to see which top-importance articles are in need for attention, and so on. We have tens of thousands articles in need of cleanup there, so if you ever need something to do, just look at this gigantic list. (I am currently reviewing the articles tagged with notability, either proving them notable or nominating for deletion; there are still several dozens left if you want to help!).
  • did you know that newly created Poland-related articles are listed here. They need to be reviewed, often cleaned-up, occasionally nominated for deletion, and their creators may need to be welcomed and invited to our project if they show promise as new authors of Poland-related content.
  • we are maintaining a Portal:Poland
  • automated Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland/Popular pages lists the most popular Poland-related pages from the previous month(s)
  • Breaking news: we are looking for a Wikipedian in Residence for the New York City area. See Wikipedia:GLAM/Józef Piłsudski Institute of America for details.

This is not all; on our page you can find a list of useful templates (including userboxes), awards and other tools!


With all that said, how about you join our discussions at WT:POLAND? Surely, there must be something you could help others with, or perhaps you are in need of assistance yourself?

It took me three years to finish this issue. Feel free to help out getting the next one before 2017 by being more active in WikiProject management :)

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

edit

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 09:27, 6 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of File:GdowCOA.gif

edit
 

The file File:GdowCOA.gif has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unused, low quality. Superseded by File:POL Gmina Gdów COA old.svg.

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 files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 12:29, 19 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
