[edit] Polish nobility today

“In 1921, the first Constitution of the Polish Republic after World War I finally terminated all privileges of nobility and forbade the usage of arms (Article 96). The later Constitution of 1935 (Article 81, §2) cancelled this paragraph, so de facto this meant the restitution of some old laws regarding the use of arms and honorary titles. However, the privileges were cancelled by another paragraph of the same Constitution which says that all citizens are equal by law. Such situation remains to this today.” - Piotr Pawel Bajer - Published: July 26th, 2000. [1]

"In December 1990, when Lech Wałęsa became the first post-Communist president of Poland, he received the symbols of the Polish Republic – ‘’not of the Polish People's Republic’’ - (the red presidential banner, the presidential and state seals, the presidential sashes, and the original text of the 1935 Constitution) from the last president of the Government in Exile, Ryszard Kaczorowski, thus re-establishing the continuity of the Republic and in effect retroactively recognizing the legitimacy of the Government in Exile. In 1992, military medals and other decorations awarded by the Government in Exile were officially recognized in Poland." [2]

[edit] Your query

Because there are no authentic records of the Lithuanian nobility in the 14th and 15th centuries, which makes true origin of princely families extremely difficult to unravel. The early Gediminid genealogy is a mess, while the origin of the non-Gediminids (like the Glinski, Holszanski, Sapiehas, or Radziwills) is even more difficult to ascertain. --Ghirla -трёп- 09:57, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mikołaj Krzysztof Sapieha

Can you find some information on him (husband of Zuzanna Korwin Gosiewska). As I explain on the talk of his article, there is some confusion about his offices.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 22:29, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Henryk Dobrzański

Wiadomo, że Henryk Dobrzański poległ pod Anielinem na "skutek zdrady", jak napisano w komunikacie podpisanym przez jego zastępcę porucznika Marka Szymańskiego pseudonim "Sęp" i adiutanta Henryka Ossowskiego pseudonim "Dołęga". Pochowano go w tajemnicy; wbrew utrzymującej się długo pogłosce - nie miał pogrzebu z honorami. Miejsce jego spoczynku, mimo intensywnych poszukiwań, nadal jest nieznane.

Sorry I don't speak Polish? What's the connection with Dołęga-Ossowski and who is Henryk Dołęga-Ossowski?

Thanks

[edit] Wiki polaca

Gracias por tu comentario. Aparentemente mi castellano ya no es tan fluente como antes... perdoname por lo que hago con la lengua de Cervantes... ;)
En cuanto a tu mensaje a Polimerek, se lo he enviado directo, con una pregunta por los motivos de bloqueacion. En mi opinion el problema fue que desde hace unos cien anos la gente en Polonia ya no use escudos ni blasones, y a la mayoria de la gente anadirlos a articulos sobre personajes modernos parece muy, muy extrano. Pero por otro lado la decision de Polimerek me parece aun mas extrana; aparentemente te ha bloqueado sin cualquier voto. Por esto le pregunte por sus motivos y espero que nos envie su respuesta tan pronto como posible.
Porsupuesto le he enviado tu mensaje a Bocianski tambien, pero creo que esto ya no necesita ningun comentario de mi lado.
Los dos comentarios se los puede ver en aqui y aqui.
En cuanto a los blasones en "3D" - crearlos es bastante simple, especialmente con las herramientas del Projet:Blasons de la wiki francesa :) //Halibutt 22:45, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Gracias. En cuanto al comentario de Jakub H, te pide que no anades enlaces a otras versiones de wikipedia como enlaces externos. Para esto normalmente se usa los enlaces de tipo interwiki (p.ej. en Wieniawa (herb szlachecki) deberias anadir un enlace a [[en:Wieniawa Coat of Arms]] y no a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wieniawa_Coat_of_Arms Wieniawa Coat of Arms]. Saludos.

[edit] Corrections to your user page

I took the liberty of making some minor edits to your English grammar — pronouns whose gender did not match the antecedent, etc. — capitalization, and punctuation . If you object, I apologize; it is very easy to revert. Please correct my Spanish if you notice any errors on the Spanish Wikipedia! --Jpbrenna 22:24, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Jan Kochanowski.jpg

The licence looks ok, what is missing is the source. Can you add the source - i.e. link to the website you copied the picture from?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 16:32, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Could you elaborate on your last msg? There is no such image (K2).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 16:20, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

The images look fine to me and are in correct article. They are all on Wikipedia Commons, and I think Commons is multilingual and there should be help pages in Spanish, too.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 20:06, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Zionism = Racism

Please do not make similar changes to the article Zionism again. I have reverted your edit. From someone purporting to be a professor of history, I would expect a slightly higher level of editing. Also, please do not again make such controversial changes with the 'minor edit' button. This is a clear violation of Wikipedia guidelines. --Daniel575 | (talk) 08:20, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Categories

Categories are handled via WP:CFD. If there is a specific empty category that you'd like me to delete, please give me a link to it (like Category:Poland), otherwise people at WP:CFD are better experts in that area.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  02:35, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Done.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  18:32, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Categories

Hello Gustavo, thank you for your contributions related to Polish nobility. However, would you please familiarize yourself with the category namespace? Categories shouldn't have a lot of text (usually none at all), or links to articles that appear (or should appear) in the categories, or images; all of this just gets in the way. Also, categories should be properly indexed. I have tried to fix this in some of the categories you've worked on, but I've noticed that recently you've been reverting me. Appleseed (Talk) 05:58, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

I've made some updates (including indexing and categorization) to some of the categories you've worked on. They should be ok now. Happy editing. Appleseed (Talk) 00:03, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi Gustavo, what you were referring to is called a template. As for your second question ("It is me again"), I'm not sure I follow. Appleseed (Talk) 20:56, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
I see what you mean. That's actually not a problem with the categories, it's an issue of too many articles in "Category:Polish nobility". The solution is to remove "Category:Polish nobility" from articles such as Hieronim Augustyn Lubomirski. That article is already in "Category:Lubomirski", which is in "Category:Polish noble families", which is in "Category:Polish nobility". Appleseed (Talk) 03:43, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
PS, I started working on this, but obviously I haven't finished yet. Appleseed (Talk) 03:47, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Of course. :-) Appleseed (Talk) 00:15, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Peronism

I agree with you, they fill all the criteria; so they should be listed on List of fascist movements by country. However, if Template:Fascism included every such movement, it would be hundreds of entries long. Therefore, the template should list only the very few most important movements. --Stlemur 05:16, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:About your pictures from Baranów Sand. castle

Ah, now I am sorry I did not take more pictures. You should definetly visit the castle, they have many more coats of arms around. I am sorry, but I don't recognize the three others.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  16:21, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Almost right :) It should be: "Herb Wawdicz w zamku w Baranowie Sandomierkim".-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  05:25, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

You may be interested in browsing through my recent Commons uploads; I have some images from Diocesan Museum in Sandomierz that contain Polish coat of arms on various items.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  23:46, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Re:Stanislaw Antoni Szczuka - updated description on Commons, it should be ok now.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  15:24, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately I don't remember anything else. I wish I had better camera and photo taking skills; it's really a shame that there are no other photos from that very interesting museum but mine. We can only hope that eventually a more skilled Wikipedian will visit that place and take more and better photos.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  06:03, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

More pictures from my summer castle trip uploaded, some new coats of arms.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 17:45, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
