[edit] EveWiki

From --> Eve-Wiki --> User:Ronoa

Hey Piotrus, I'm contacting you to get the lowdown on the eve-wiki, i've read the rules, and they seem to be contradictory. Can you take a look at the skills and Accessories section, I started working on it, but now i'm getting that sinking feeling that maybe I'm linking things improperly.

[edit] Prośba o pomoc - ikonki w user page

Witam ! Chciałbym się dowiedzieć jak można zrobić ikonki w userpage (chodzi mi o np. coś takiego jak 'użytkownik jest Polakiem' itd.) Widząc że interesuje się Pan szlachtą , chciałbym się również dowiedzieć , czy posiada Pan jakieś informacje o rodzie Mojeckich ? Wiem , tylko tyle , że byli herbu Brodzic....Nie liczę na wiele , ale to są moi przodkowie i miło byłoby coś o nich się dowiedzieć.. Pozdrawiam Bartekos

[edit] Lain FAC

Hi Piotrus. Just letting you know that your demands at the Lain FAC have been met. I included academic review in the "Reception" section of the Serial Experiments Lain article. Cheers!--SidiLemine 15:48, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] cite

Yet another citation. When someone just writes 'f**k, f**k, f**k', we just fix it, laugh and move on. But the difficult social issues are the borderline cases — people who do some good work, but who are also a pain in the neck. (guess the author). While certainly true, this does not seem to contain any answer. Is there any? For a moment, all we can do is to apply some pain-killers :-) --Beaumont (@) 07:47, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] request to discuss history of communication

Hi, I have some thoughts wrt the notion of the beginnings of "online communication" I wish to discuss with you. I can be contacted at http://xri.net/=JeffH

thanks,

[edit] dzien dobry

dziekuje for your message, Piotrus. I'm beginning to think I shouldn't have said anything, since I really didn't want to get caught in the crossfire of the second Russo-Polish War...I'm a damn Hungarian, I have enough to deal with... :) But I'm glad my comment was appreciated and I hope to continue working with you in war and peace. :) K. Lástocska 19:53, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I might have been unclear. I assure you I will help however I can, I just don't want to get involved in any more of the petty back-and-forth name-calling than is absolutely necessary. :) K. Lástocska 21:37, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey Piotr, I just noticed your Rouge Cabal userboxes. Made me laugh! Nicely done! :) I'd probably be Rouge too if I were an admin...

In all seriousness now, is there any way we (or anyone) can convince certain people that there actually IS no Cabal? The RfC is getting totally ridiculous. I do wish I could help somehow, be the neutral diplomat or something, but I tried and it didn't work. :) K. Lástocska 02:10, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

OK, I think I'll just lay low for a while, don't want to get too involved in all the back-and-forth. If you need my help again, let me know on my talk page. Allez Allez la Résistance Rouge! :) (and pardon my French, I couldn't resist.) K. Lástocska 16:55, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mediation? ME? We'd all get hardbanned.

cannot help but smile I'd be a poor choice for that, I think. I don't know how to resolve the issues between you and Ghirla. I can say that the best person I know for disputes is my friend, Doug Bell, who is both an admin and very neutral and unbiased. --Elaragirl^Talk|Count 21:44, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your RfA

No problem. I had no prior knowledge of the details of this particular Wikipedia dispute, but that piece of evidence stuck out like a sore thumb. The Katyn Forest Massacre is a matter of historical fact and it was carried out by the Soviets. Frankly, I'm disturbed any editor would argue otherwise in 2006. I also have a little knowledge of Polish and can tell there was nothing untoward in your Polish-language comments. I'm beginning to see there's more paranoia and "projection" than substance to Ghirla's claims. I'd also endorse the long comment you left on the project talk page. Wszystkiego najlepszego. --Folantin 22:05, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Western betrayal

Hi. The person who has added it does not know what (s)he's talking about. To say that Romania was betrayed by the West is equivalent to saying that Italy was conned by the West into allying itself with Germany or any such nonsense. Romanian had refused to commit itself to an alliance with the Allies directly, had attempted to rush into the arms of Hitler (th only thing preventing the alliance was Hitler's unwillingness to accept her), and had not declared war on Germany. Furthermore, there is no widespread myth about any such nonsense in Romania - there may be a more accurate one about Romania having betrayed the West out there, but I'm not sure. Simply remove the mention, and, in case (s)he re-adds it, ask for sources to be cited (and I mean quoted at length) or refer him/her to me for a chat. Dahn 00:09, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Society of Friends of Science

On 10 December 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Society of Friends of Science, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

• Many thanks for the article Piotrus. I enjoyed the read -- Samir धर्म 07:40, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

On November 11, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article History Line: 1914-1918, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] RFC

Hi. I found Calgacus view convincing, as instead of getting bogged down in the details of who did what when and to whom, it asserts that both you and Ghirla are respected editors, but it would be useful to get a neutral party to intervene when there are disputes over European articles. I realise it is easier said than done. Catchpole 17:59, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Poland Map Time 19390925.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Poland Map Time 19390925.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. howcheng {chat} 00:57, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Renaissance architecture

Hi piotrus! Don't worry about editting all that material on Poland at the Renaissance architecture page. The whole lot had been lifted straight from the Wiki article on the Polish Renaissance. All that was needed was a brief summary and a main article template.

Sometimes i feel as if I'm fighting a losing battle here! I had just finished moving Spain, France, Hungary etc etc etc to their own pages, having written summaries for each, and all of a sudden about 150 pages on Poland get dumped on the page. Well, I removed it, and wrote a summary. the main article could do with some t.l.c. to improve its expression.

Main article: Polish Renaissance

--Amandajm 09:22, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Piotrus!

I have been in communication with Radomil annd looked at the article in Polish, which, I cannot read, but looks as if it works well in the way that it directs to other articles. I wrote the summary, from the information in the longer article. I hope that I have left the most important points!

It is also very interesting to see things from a different persepective. We generally are priveledged only to study Art History from a Western European viewpoint. Luckily I have two books of Baroque architecture that show Eastern Europe, and one book on the Renaissance that is German. There must be so many architectural treasures of which I am completely ignorant! It was a pleasure to see this article about Polish art and architecture. I think it should be expanded and divided into two seperate sections. If you do this, you must remember to go back to the Renaissance architecture page and correct the link from

Main article: Polish Renaissance

to

Main article: Polish Renaissance Architecture

Bye for now --Amandajm 03:15, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Commons

May I ask you to upload the following image to Wikimedia Commons? I'd like to be able to use it in my new article on Polish national painter, Włodzimierz Tetmajer.

I found this image in the Polish Wikipedia: [[Grafika:Wesele.jpg]] featured in the Polish article on Włodzimierz Tetmajer.

I'm not sure how the foreign copy right laws would apply to it though. Poeticbent 17:52, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bad Idea?

I could use an assist (maybe two). I have a pet peeve, and thought I'd come up with a good concept for making chides to editors who leave incomplete documentation trails by creating sort of a wet diaper award. It seems to be drawing some adverse reactions, and even before I'd spammed a request to some others like this for brainstorming on how to shorten same and evolve it, as I'm not happy with it either. Subsequently, it's already drawn fire (here) before I could ask in help and get suggestions. Can you take a look and comment here. There has to be some way to let people know 'shallow edit actions' that reflect poorly on our pages need a talk note justification, no exceptions, thankyou. Much appreciated // FrankB 22:57, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Extra Edit Buttons

I have released the updated version of extra edit buttons today. The main differences are:

• The ability to remove the standard buttons. You can either remove individual buttons or all the the standard buttons.
• You can now include the standard buttons in XEBOrder so you can place the standard buttons anywhere on the toolbar.
• Users can defined their own buttons using myButtons which can then be placed on the toolbar using XEBOrer. This would allow you to create the button you wanted to insert the welcome template.
• I have added four buttons to do with tables. This includes the | symbol you wanted.

The documentation will be updated in the next day or two. In the meantime you might want to look at my monobook.js which has some examples of how to setup XEB. --MarkS (talk) 09:16, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Khotyn re

Hi. I cannot possibly tell what happened there, but I can tell that, from the diff you have shown me, the text replaced was of more than questionable quality. I suppose the truth is somewhere in the middle, but that article has become too complicated for me to look into it (I'm trying to finish some other stuff). Perhaps in the future.
