Dlaczego, czy myślisz że obecny angielski Blue Police artykuł jest nieprawidłowy jak jest napisany? Dr. Dan (talk) 01:37, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Przepraszam. Dzienki. Dr. Dan (talk) 13:00, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Move of Scottish kings

There is a proposed move of Scottish kings at Talk:Kenneth I of Scotland that I thought I'd bring to your attention. I think you have had things to say on this subject in the past. Probably won't be successful, but that's wiki for you. Best regards, Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 17:27, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Józef Piłsudski

Hello Dr. Dan. I think you are a good looking guy. Your user name is interesting. Anyway, why did you oppose the FA nomination? I think the biography of Józef Piłsudski is fine. What are your views? Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 04:33, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

If you are interested

A question

As you probably have heard, a few days ago a cement brick shattered a window at the Jewish Reconstructionist Congregation in Evanston in the suburbs of the great city of Chicago. This shameful event was reported to police by a synagogue employee, and some Northwestern students said the vandalism definitely constituted a hate crime. We do not know if it was done by single individual or a group. Anyway, are you familiar with this incident? How did this came about? We are not familiar with the incident ourselves, and this is why I asked. Tymek (talk) 18:20, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

No, sorry I missed it. Did you ever follow up on the Polish neo-Nazi, who made the February 2, 2008, Chicago Sun-Times front page? The guy who vandalized Westlawn Cemetery? I remember you commenting that it didn't interest you. Also something about your not wanting to discuss non-Wikpedia related matters on the talk pages. Why the sudden change of heart? Dr. Dan (talk) 19:45, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
No, there has not been a change of heart. I have asked you not to write about non-Wikipedia related matters to me, while I have never gotten a similar message from you. See the difference? Tymek (talk) 20:13, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Well I don't mind. Thanks for explaining the difference. Any follow up on Wdzienkonski? Dr. Dan (talk) 20:40, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Oh you are welcome. Since you do not contribute any articles and limit your Wikipedia activities to asking questions, I wanted to explain this obvious fact to you. You do not have to thank me. Tymek (talk) 23:18, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
"Do not contribute" and "limit your WP activities to asking questions"? That's not nice. Sorry, but I have a life. I try to do my little part from time to time. Actually, I'm not looking for barnstars or regaining my adolescence either. I've decided not to change my user name to Dr. Dan aka Pontifex maximus or pose in a żupan afterall. All thanks to you. I think this dialogue started with you asking me some questions. Didn't it? Unanswered for the most part too. As for thanking you, I was raised to be polite to friendly people, and you're my friend. Aren't you? Dr. Dan (talk) 03:06, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

My Post to Tymek

Tymek, I posted this on your talk page three days ago. Since you erased it, I wanted to remind you of a similar incident in case you forgot:

Tymek, I'm sure it was with great dissapointment that you, like myself a Chicago resident, read the inch black headline, in yesterday's Chicago Sun-Times. The article states that according to police, Polish immigrant, Mariusz Wdzienkonski, confessed to the anti-Semitic desecration of Chicago's Jewish Westlawn Cemetery last month. Included on the front page is his colored Mug Shot over a foot high. The article further states that he was involved in Neo-Nazi groups in Poland prior to emigrating to the United States. Are you familiar with any such groups, and how they came about? What was particularly sad was the association and admiration of Hitler that the article claimed was part and parcel of his activities.

Giving credit where due

As much as we don't see eye to eye, I do think you did a good job npoving the caption here. Thanks, --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 20:14, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

You'd be surprised how often we see eye to eye on many other issues too. Poking each other in the eye, will only leave us blind if it continues. Please understand that I respect that you should want to protect what is dear to you. Kindly understand that if you were in my position you would do the same. Dr. Dan (talk) 21:09, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
May I ask "what is dear to you"? Understanding each other's biases can be quite helpful; I find that the most difficult part of Wikipedia experience is dealing with editors who don't acknowledge they have any bias. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 00:26, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
A few things come to mind. Presenting facts in an unbiased and neutral fashion. Applying the same standards to all articles, subjects, and editors. Curbing censorship. Not making lists of editors' activities with whom I don't "see eye to eye". Ignoring unacceptable behavior or edits by those with whom I do see "eye to eye".

Talk:History_of_Poland_(1939–1945)#Removal_of_Soviet_picture

Dr. Dan, hope all is well. Since you are among the most knowledgable wikipedians on this topic and have more objectivity than most contributors, I wondered if you had any thoughts on the discussion going on at Talk:History_of_Poland_(1939–1945)#Removal_of_Soviet_picture. All the best, Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 23:57, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
