[edit] Polish Literature

  • The content in the majority of the sites on Polish poets and writers seem entirely lacking, given the popularity and size of the Polish Wikipedia - are there any Polish WikiPeople out there who would like to colaborate by providing roughly-edited/translated copy for me to clean up and post on the English-language Wikipedia?

[edit] Duplicated movie articles

You are not supposed to make two different articles on the same movie. (Which one should other people contribute to?) Make a redirect (like this: #REDIRECT [[Other Title of Movie]]) from one title to the other. I believe the standard is to use the English title for the article when a film has one, and accordingly redirect from the original title. / Tupsharru 17:53, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Unicode?

Hi, I see problems with the name of the film "Pożegania". The wiki software seems to be escaping the ż as unicode, and displays this: Pożegnania, as the article title. It's only doing this for page titles, oddly enough. The character dispalys normally everywhere else. I changed the link on the film page to point to the english title of "farewell", and I'll remove the escaped title page. Malcolm Farmer 18:22, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Beer Categories

It has been suggested by User:BrianSmithson that the Beer and brewery categories should be renamed. The proposal has been supported by User:Syrthiss, and supported and expanded by myself. The notion is that the regional categories should follow the format of "Beer and breweries in Africa" /Europe/Asia/North America/South America/Oceania. "Brewers and breweries" could also be renamed "Beer and breweries by region". And all the countries should also be renamed (and merged if needed) as, for example, "Beer and breweries of Germany", "Beer and breweries of Britain", "Beer and breweries of Poland". The word in each case would be beer rather than beers to allow for general articles on beer culture in each region as well as individual beers.

[edit] page moves

Hello,

please read Help:Moving a page. In particular, I draw your attention to the parts:

... click on the "Move" tab near the top of the page. You'll be asked for a new name for the page
... you should never just move a page by cutting all the text out of one page, and pasting it into a new one

Your method of moving violates the GFDL, the licence under which contributions to Wikipedia are released. It also splits the history of the articles in two parts. Thanks. --user:Qviri 04:39, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Kanal.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Kanal.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 16:06, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summaries

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. — EncMstr 18:16, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
