Racism in Poland - prośba o weryfikację i interwencję.

Witaj. Widzę, że jesteś z Polski. Jako użytkownika dość zaawansowanego i zainteresowanego tematami związanymi z Polską chciałbym Cię prosić o interwencję odnośnie artykułu Racism in Poland. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_Poland) Chodzi o to, aby utrzymać go w formie w jakiej go pozostawiłem. Artykuł wyraźnie traktuje o rasizmie w Polsce, a więc nietylko tym ze strony Polaków względem obcokrajowców, lecz również o tym jakiego Polacy doznali gdy Polska była pod okupacją. Jakiś użytkownik usilnie próbuje wykasować wzmiankę o antypolonizmie we wstępie, oraz cały dział "Ethnic Poles" odnoszący się do Racial policy of Nazi Germany, oraz czystkach etnicznych na tle rasowym. "Rasa" w pojęciu amerykańskim to tylko "White" "Black" itp, jednak należy podkreślić, że naziści stosowali pojęcie rasy jako "rasa słowiańska-polska" "rasa żydowska" "rasa aryjska-germańska" itp. Zdaję się na Twoją kompetencję oraz rzetelność. Absolutnie nie zabiegam o to, byś popierał moje stanowisko, lecz myślę, że jesteś podobnego zdania i proszę Cię o dodanie Racism in Poland do obserwowanych. Pozdrawiam! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yatzhek (talk • contribs) 18:22, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Your edits to Bit rot

Please see the talk discussion, but please undo your edit. It is both inconsistent with the one usage reference (the Jargon file), as well as the consensus of the talk page discussion. I don't want to provoke an edit war by reverting your edit again, but I think it is clear you have not been following the discussion. Thank you. I reverted your edit initially for the reasons articulated in the talk discussion, and I think they are only stronger now that consensus has had time to develop.

Zweryfikuj proszę edycje użytkownika niebezpiecznego dla wiarygodności Wikipedii

Witaj. Mam do Ciebie prośbę. Jestem zszokowany poczynaniami pewnego użytkownika o pseudonimie "Windows66". Użytkownik ów edytuje niemal wszystkie artykuły dotyczące Polaków i kasuje z nich wszystko co dotyczy rasizmu przeciwko Polakom, negując ich wojenne udręki związane z antypolonizmem oraz byciem klasyfikowanym jako "podludzie". Co ciekawe usuwa on informacje wsparte masą źródeł zastępując je źródłami nieobiektywnymi. Jest niebezpieczny dla wiarygodności Wikipedii na każdym kroku ujmuje z rozmaitych artykułów wszystko co dotyczy postrzegania Polaków przez Niemców za II Wojny Światowej. Moje przypuszczenia o jego antypolonizm są wysoce uzasadnione, gdyż ten oto użytkownik usuwa TYLKO informacje dotyczące niearyjskości i prześladowań Polaków, ale zostawia wszystko co dotyczy Serbów, Rosjan czy Cyganów (ci ostatni byli genetycznie bardziej "aryjscy" niż Polacy ale on uważa, że Polacy byli 100% aryjscy, negując stwierdzenia jak "masy ze wschodu" i "aryjsko-azjatyckie mischlingi" używane przez Niemców w stosunku do Słowian). Mieszają mu się pojęcia "aryjczyk" oraz "rasa biała", miesza pojęcie "untermensch" z "nie-aryjski", oraz "rasa" i "grupa etniczna". Miesza pojęcia naukowe i pseudonaukowe teorie Nazistów podając źródła naukowe i pomijając pseudonaukowe niemieckie tezy. Prowadzi to do tego, że według niego Polacy byli uważani przez Niemców za równie czystą co oni sami "rasę panów" i nie byli dyskryminowani w kontekście rasowym, lecz tylko i wyłącznie politycznym. Nonsens! Zaobserwowałem, że użytkownik "Windows66" zgłasza do wysoko postawionych administratorów wszystkich którzy stoją mu na drodze i robi to z taką skutecznością, że co najmniej dwóch użytkowników zostało już niesłusznie zablokowanych za polemikę z nim. Mam nadzieję, że Ty się go nie przestraszysz, a że masz wysoce naukowy język i świetną znajomość języka angielskiego, zatem bardzo Cię proszę o zweryfikowanie edycji tego w/w pana. Pozdrawiam -kolega Polak- 91.218.158.26 (talk) 11:01, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks

Your editing to the "correct threading", which I cannot see why you thought it needed it, just caused me an edit conflict, a page fault, and a loss of one and a half hours of work. Chaosdruid (talk) 01:37, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

There were some Wikimedia server errors which I suspect caused the page fault - it did not go to the edit conflict page, just told me there was one, then blanked everything and took me back to edit mode with the page as it was when you had changed it.

It is not my connection, I have 30MB with extremely good pipelining. You have not really explained why you changed it though. I simply moved the previous conversation to the section below, and changed his asterisk to a colon. So, what did you actually change, and why? You know it is an extremely delicate matter to change other ppls talk page comments, and should only be done under certain circumstances and in a particular way ... as for "chaos" on the talk page, I think you are perhaps mistaken. In fact, it reads as if you think I caused it. Chaosdruid (talk) 00:36, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Murzyn

I've reverted this edit here. The ref mentions the info and your summary is for your subsequent edit and makes no sense. Please be more careful. Malick78 (talk) 11:37, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Erm, what exactly do you think you're doing on the Murzyn page? I've found 3 deletions by you on April 2nd with inaccurate summaries. You deleted here claiming the ref doesn't contain the info mentioned, yet it does not only in the TITLE but also in the last sentence of the article (didn't you bother to read to the end?). And here you deleted something which is cited in the ONLY sentence on the page, claiming it wasn't cited by the BBC!!! The page has nothing to do with the BBC.

Please, don't edit this page if you have no intention of taking care or being accurate. I will report you if you continue to unfairly delete editors' work while giving inaccurate summaries. Malick78 (talk) 11:48, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

The Hanowa page

Hi Staszek Lem, thanks for taking me out of my Wikipedia naivety. Your "laughing out loud"-part and the probable upcoming deletion of "my" article are of course less fun, but I can understand them. I just want to inform you that, apart from having one article less on my counter, I have no special interest in the presence of this article at Wiki (so, if it is deleted: so be it). If I would ever be so daring to make an article about a product again, where can I best find the evidence that sources are considered independent next time? Regards, Kareldorado (talk) 17:21, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Please don't take me for an expert. As for my advice, when thinking about writing about something, think for yourself: is the subject worth your time? Wikipedia is a hobby for an overwhelming majority of wikipedians, right? Today everybody knows internet. Therefore it is incredibly difficult to sift through google hits for an average company or product to find independent reviews. Are you sure you personally need all this hassle? I did write several articles about companies. But it was usually when something abut this company caught my eye as notable or unusual. Now, tell me, what about Hanova is so breathtaking? "The IP Black comes in matt black with dark dial, emphasising the dynamic character of the timepiece"? There are lots of businesses doing respectful job. But wikipedia is not Yellow Pages. Staszek Lem (talk) 19:01, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Now, answering your last question, if I understand its doubly-indirect phrasing correctly. The wikipedia rules in this respect are in WP:RS. Its talk page is the proper place to ask questions of this kind. However judging from your remarks in Hanowa's AfD page, I suspect you are unclear about the meaning of the word "source". A newspaper is not a "source". An article in it is. Of course, Hindustani Times is independent of Hanowa. However a press-release printed in HT, of a company which distributes Hanowa watches has a hell of vested interest. This is the best evidence of non-independence you can get: qui prodest? (gotcha! was a red link a minute ago! no more.) Staszek Lem (talk) 19:01, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Mova nanova

First of all, the Mova Nanova initiative gains its due notability by the fact that it reflects an important aspect of the cultural life of the present day Belarus touching upon the vulnerable issue of the language situation in the country. • Given that the initiative is voluntary and has gained traction among people of different background, then spread to almost all regional centres, still on a voluntary basis, and is acclaimed and supported by notable cultural personalities and famous people, it demonstrates the shift in the attitude of common people towards the Belarusian language, which image has long been “disfigured”. In this case the article has its value for the English-speaking readers by giving the information on the cultural and linguistic sides of Belarusian life, and at the same time demonstrating the social topicality of the issue. • The article represents the translation of the Belarusian version of Wikipedia and supplements the scarce information about Belarus in its English version, helping the English-speaking readership give a more clear view of the country and explaining some of the questions like “Why isn’t Belarusian the language that you can hear on the streets while in Belarus?” and “What is the situation like these days?”, and etc. • For a long time the Belarusian language has been unjustly considered to be the language of peasants and the illiterate, even in the not too distant 90s of the XXth century. This page demonstrates the issues that the Belarusian-speaking minority (and those aspiring to become Belarusian-speaking) is confronted with, and how these issues are tackled with in the present day context, which is again the reflection of the Belarusian cultural aspects. This point is referenced by the figures of the latest census and UNESCO statistics. • The page also arises the problem of the linguistic disproportion of Russian and Belarusian in the bilingual environment on the territory of Belarus (de jure) that has long held true, at certain historical points going to extremes with adverse anti-Belarusian propaganda and targeted governmental actions aimed at its elimination. The page offers the information for further familiarization with by linking to the page about the Belarusian language. • Finally, the information on this page is backed by the references from independent nation-wide online sources of information and news portals (TUT.BY, Belsat TV, Euroradio.fm). The limited quantity of such references can be explained by the fact that usually negative events are given higher priority on the newsworthy scale and get more media coverage, whereas cultural events are given a smaller share of press attention in flagship publications, and are often reprinted from the leading information sources by other minor news organizations. (Moreover, please, give due attention to the fact that the page deals with the de facto linguistic minority, which reduces the press coverage of this activity even more, which doesn’t lessen its notability though).

Thanks

... for the wisdom and wiki-collegiality! Wish you many more years of joyful (and useful) editing. Kareldorado (talk) 19:04, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

The revert

I have no clue what just happened-I didn't press revert or rollback, I don't know how that happened at all! I think an error could of easily just happened.

Religion of peace

I notice that, at the beginning of the month, you deleted 3000 - 5000 words from Religion of Peace page.

As a Wikipedian who attempts to research and write to create relevant, clear, encyclopedia quality content I would like to thank you for the bold move. At the end of the day, my work was not quite on topic. It did not belong there as it was.

I would also like to suggest that you could do even more good for Wikipedia by modifying or in this case moving others' work rather than simply removing content. The Islam and Violence page seems a clear option.

Cheers -Tesseract²(talk) 01:50, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

RE:RE

You're right that Islam and Violence is a mess. It would be even more work to put each paragraph in a different page though, and I didn't quite want to do that much.

I'm sure someone will come along and fix Islam and Violence eventually, if I don't come back and do it.

Please double-check and let me know if the redirect from Trawnikis actually work on your computer, because it certainly does not work on mine as I intended it originally. You changed my redirect and now reverted me again, however, the piece of hidden code you used is broken (if not limited severely). I have known that for a long time beforehand, that's why I don't use it and you shouldn't either. Thanks, Poeticbent talk 00:17, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited St. Andrew's Day, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page National holiday (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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Station master (disambiguation)

A tag has been placed on Station master (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
• disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Re: domain parking

I just added the link because the page lists all companies that provide domain parking services.

I figured it was very relevant because I have a lot of people asking about where to go to see companies that do parking. It would be helpful to be able to send them to the wiki page and let them visit the resource after reading about domain parking. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.216.184.224 (talk) 21:00, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

There are two problems with this list: (a) wikipedia is not a web directory and (b) there is no guarantee the reliability of the website you cited. Heck, for all I know it may be a malicious site. Staszek Lem (talk) 21:05, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

I understand part A of your last statement but honestly couldn't part B be said of pretty much any website on the internet (or cited in wiki)? I mean... just being honest

• <sigh> If you think so, then some day you (I mean your data) will be in big trouble. I will not teach you how to browse the net securely, but here are wikipedia guidelines about reliable information sources which can be used as references in wikipedia. In our case the red flag is that I cannot readily find who maintains the site. Staszek Lem (talk) 23:42, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Merger

Hi! I have started a disscusion on the calvary at the page Talk:Calvary (sculpture). And by the way, I thank You for bringing my attention to the article on the sculpture, because it indeed includes some off-topic facts, as well as misleading Wikidata. I will check them. Best regards, Propositum (talk) 14:49, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi! Yes, these are decidedly two different topics (I have the professional knowledge on them). The confusion arises from the fact that in France calvaire means primarily a sculpture, while e.g. in Poland kalwaria associates mainly with a complex of chapels. So English Wikipedia (which is de facto the international one) has to reflect both meanings. Of course, as You say, both are somewhat connected and it is a very good idea to link each another. Now there is only a question: Whether we should wait a week or more for possible new voices in the discussion, or the consensus is already achieved so we could go on with moving the last paragraph of the scuplture article to the sanctuary one? I may wait or do it now, just as You wish. Best regards, Propositum (talk) 13:30, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

re:Your Edits

Sorry, which edits were you referring to? The phrase "various other" is always redundant, no matter my expertise on the subject at hand. Either "various" or "other" can and should be used alone.

Historical revisionism (negationism)

This is a comment with my administrators hat on.

As you will be aware there has been an edit war over Historical revisionism (negationism) (history of Historical revisionism (negationism)).

It would be helpful if you would explain your thinking about this issue on the talk page, as it would help damp down the edit war. -- PBS (talk) 08:15, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Czas nieutracony may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

• of the Transfiguration]],'' ''Among the Dead'' ("Wśród umarłych"), and ''Return'' ("Powrót)").

Featuring your work on Wikipedia's front page: DYKs

Thank you for your recent articles, including Czas nieutracony, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK. Let me know if you need help, Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:58, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Janusz Zajdel

I am thinking of improving this article. Can you help? In particular, I cannot find any reliable sources for the claim that he is the "second most famous Polish sf writer after S. Lem." --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:24, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

@Piotrus: There is an excellent text by Marek Oramus. As for the "second most", this was my addition; referenced. However after text rearranging the ref became detached. I always thought that wikipedia's system of footnotes is highly prone to disarray during editing. A ref must be somehow attached to a chunk of text by means of syntax, rather than to the last word of the paragraph. Anyway, restored. Staszek Lem (talk) 23:10, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

@Piotrus: I do recognize the recognition of Zajdel, however personally I find his style rather boring. IMO his glory was mostly due to political innuendo, rather than literary skills. Also to declare him "father of Polish social SF" after Lem's Eden or Powrót z gwiazd is rather illiterate. Staszek Lem (talk) 00:11, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

I certainly agree with regards to referencing problems: I wrote an essay at User:Piotrus/Wikipedia:Why most sentences should be cited about it, but sadly it didn't gain community's acceptance. Regarding Lem vs Zajdel, I have mixed opinions myself about their prose. Varies from book to book, I think. But in either casse - verifiability, not truth... --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:43, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

As I am expanding the article I find "His writing career started in 1965." which seems to be added by you. But [2]/[3] both state that his first short story dates to 1961. 1965 seems to refer to his first book (short story anthology I think), through the above sources differ on the year and title. Can you double check with your source(s)? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:56, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

@Piotrus:I admit I have a short attention span. I am just adding bits and pieces Yes, my source says 1965, but it is a brief author profile in a story collection, without any context to know what 1965 exactly means. I myself added section "awards" where his 1961 debut was mentioned, but neglected to fix the phrase about 1965. Staszek Lem (talk) 17:03, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages

Thank you for your recent articles, including Jerzy Osiński (politician), which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:20, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Back to Stanisław Lem

Stanisław Lem is not up to modern GA standards - way too many unreferenced sentences and paragraphs. I think we should fix it before it gets delisted. I can work using online sources, as I don't have access to any printed biographies. How about I fix what I can with online sources, indicate things I cannot verify with cite needed templates, and then you can take a look at printed sources (I am assuming you may have access to some?). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:39, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

@Piotrus: As I am always repeating, I am lazy for any consistent work. (Lenistwo często jawi się jako siła napędowa rozwoju. Stanisław Lem natychmiast uważał głupotę za siłę napędową rozwoju; niestety zgubiłem ten artykuł Lema a nie mogę znaleźć go). Anyway, I do have access to some books (eg Co to są sepulki, Bogowie Lema, Awantury na tle powszechnego ciążenia) in a nearby library. Staszek Lem (talk) 04:38, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews

Hello Lembit Staan. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.

The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.

If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)

If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.

Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.

I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).
