Hello. Good work on Polish National Government, and thanks for the contribution. However, you did not provide any references or sources in the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. Can you list in the article any websites, books, or other sources that will allow people to verify the content in Polish National Government? You can simply add links, preferably as inline citations, or see citation templates for different citation methods. Thanks!--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 00:33, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for providing the references for this article. Could you do the same for other articles you have created?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 16:21, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide appropriate references for your assertion, as it is contentious in nature. Please don't revert but use talk pages to discuss proposed changes. All the best, Ghirla | talk 10:34, 13 January 2006 (UTC) Ok even greater battle in Europe since waterloo was Battle of Olszynka Grochowska 1831, where 40 000 Poles defeated 60 000 Russians.[reply]

Since you are creating quite a few Poland-related articles, you may want to announce them at Portal:Poland/New article announcements. Also, please see the Template:Poland-stub/Template:Battle-stub - since most of your articles are stubs you may want to tag them as such.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 16:21, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Why are you changing redirect pages and giving new redirects to null pages? This is pointless vandalism. - Calgacus 22:38, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Someone (i mean some Lithuanian), deleted my new historically emended page of Władysław II Jagiełło. Mathiasrex

Pretty please, when you create a new article, tell us about it at Portal:Poland/New article announcements.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 03:52, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 4% for major edits and 1% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 150 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 14:00, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Mind if I asked where did you take all those precious colour WWII pics from? Is it the Bolas' collection by any chance? Halibutt 15:09, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I noticed you violated my copyrights several times in a row. I kindly ask you to abide by the GFDL and properly attribute those maps to their author. And no, you're not the author of those maps.

I'm still waiting for your reply. However, this won't last forever. In less then a week I will ask for all of these to be deleted as copyright infringements. Or perhaps there is some other solution? //Halibutt 19:30, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mathiasrex,

I reverted your edit because the Polish name (along with the Rusisan and Latin ones) are already mentioned in the 2nd paragraph of the article. Cheers, Khoikhoi 00:17, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mathias. I just noticed a few errors in an image uploaded by you: (Image:PodlaskieRP.JPG).

The legend says that the map shows the 1635 situation, but the Danish-Swedish border is wrong. In 1635, all of Skåneland was Danish territory. Skåneland was surrendered in 1658. On the positive side: the island Saaremaa (= Øsel / Ösel) in Estonia is coloured correctly. It was surrendered in 1645. Lastly, Karlskrona (modern Sweden) was founded after the 1658 war. If you've made similar maps using the same year as basis, you might want to check them as well. Otherwise a very nice map. Regards. Valentinian ^(talk) 20:37, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An image you uploaded, Image:Schildoh.png, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 04:25, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

You've uploaded the above image to Commons. Would you please clarify on its page what museum has the armor in its collection, or should I say, where exactly was the picture taken?

I wonder if you might contact me by email, at rskellner AT cox DOT net concerning the Friedrich Kellner WWII diary. There is information about the diary on the German and English Wikipedia sites, and I am hoping to find a way to get it on Polish Wikipedia as well. I would greatly appreciate assistance. Thank you, Dr. Robert Scott Kellner, College Station, Texas

Here are some Jelly beans for you. I love jelly beans as they have sugar in them and most people love sugar. But on the other hand just receiving somthing from somone else just makes you happy and also just giving this to you makes me happy. I hope to spread the jelly beans all over Wikipedia, so here, you can have this lot. Please enjoy them. (I like the lime ones.)

Editors need a bit of a sugar high too.

Thanks for uploading Image:Schildoh.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 03:01, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I see you added some evidence against Piotrus. I'm afraid it's too late as voting has started already.

Dear Mister Mathiasrex,

I would very much like to know from where you got the information that the great polish artist Henryk Tomaszewski has been a spy, and has even denounced his friends to the Communist Secret Police.

Hi, Mathiasrex! I notice that you added Jerzy Zawieyski and Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz to the Category:LGBT people from Poland.

Hello Maciej! For 2 years now I have been working on a project to translate the Słownik Geograficzny Królestwa Polskiego (1880-1902) from Polish to German (part of it goes to GenWiki and to Wikipedia). Although I use machine translation and a Polish-German dictionary (1878) there are about 10 ancient Polish expressions (1-3 words long) which I was not yet able to translate. Could I place these expressions here (or alternatively Do yo know a native Polish speaker with knowledge in German who could help me?). Sincerely Grey Geezer

Hello! I've seen that you added this category to Prince George of Denmark and Christina of Sweden. Could you please add this information to their articles and include some details if possible? It's an important fact for both of the articles, since George was husband of the Queen of Great Britain and Christina was Queen of Sweden (and later a candidate for Neapolitan throne) - if they were elected, Poland would enter a personal union. It's also important to note that George could not convert to Catholicism without his wife being deposed. An interesting situation would've arisen if either one of them was elected. So, could you please write something about them being considered a possible King of Poland? Surtsicna (talk) 18:17, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the image you (re)added to the HMS Northumberland article, which you clearly disagree with, so I will explain my reasoning to you.

I question that the model is of Northumberland, due to a glaring problem with the ship's rig. She is shown carrying a lateen mizzen yard, whereas these were replaced by gaffs attached to the mizzen mast via jaws and parrels in the 1780s, and a short time later a boom was added for the foot of the sail. No ship launched in 1798 would ever have carried a lateen mizzen yard. Additionally the sail is shown extending the full length of the yard, a practise that had fallen out of use some time before even the 1780s, hence the eventual change to the gaff. So based on that alone, the model cannot be of Northumberland, or if it is intended to be, it is a serious error that makes it non-representative.

The hull itself contains numerous issues, the most noticeable of which being the poop deck apparently running level with the capping rail of the poop bulwark. The overall quality of the model is also not particularly great, so really it can only be called a generic model of a third rate, and is most certainly not representative of Northumberland of 1798.

Who said they were the same? Not me. NKVD Special camps imprisoned soldiers, not civilians, and so they don't qualify as interment under the definition in the article. Why should they be included in the article? - TheMightyQuill (talk) 15:11, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well of course it matters. It matters just as much as every other horrible thing done by the Soviets, or by everyone else, to those they considered criminals. The prison at Guantanamo Bay for "unlawful combatants" matters too. But we shouldn't list all of those things on the internment article, because they aren't particularly relevant. Why are Polish experiences somehow more important that all the other cases of internment included on List of concentration and internment camps that they belong in the internment article? - TheMightyQuill (talk) 22:56, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've reintroduced the Bar Confederation content. As for the Auschwitz thing, if it's true, you should include it at Auschwitz concentration camp. Personally, I have my doubts, but you seem to desire to blame everything from the Holocaust on the Soviet Union, so go try arguing it on the talk page there.- TheMightyQuill (talk) 13:56, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• The Orawa and Spisz regions that were passed to Poland at Conference of Ambassadors in Spa, Belgium on 28 July 1920. I can't find any references on A)If they were passed to Poland and B) If they were given to Poland why were they requested by Poland

• Can't find any references that say, "an additional exchange of territories in Orava - the territory around Nižná Lipnica went to Poland, the territory around Suchá Hora and Hladovka went to Czechoslovakia. The new frontiers were confirmed by a Czechoslovak-Polish Treaty on April 24, 1925 and are identical with present-day borders."

I believe this approach is widely approved.^{[citation needed]} Novickas (talk) 03:20, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Szczepańczyk,

We are producing a documentary film on the Haitian earthquake, and our editors are interested in making use of an image credited to your Wikipedia account. It is a painting entitled "Bitwa na San Domingo" by January Suchodolski. We have contacted the Polish Museum in Rapperswil, and they haven't been able to provide us with the location of the original painting or the owner of licenses to this painting.

Our questions for you are: do you have a high-resolution version of your photograph available, and do you know who we would contact to license your image?

We are working under a very tight deadline, so please respond as soon as you can.

Best wishes, and much admiration for your contributions to Wikipedia,

Imie i nazwisko Dzierzona zostalo zmieniona na Johann Dzierzon, to jest pisownia niemiecka. Britanica podaje Jan Dzierżoń (http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/175400/Jan-Dzierzon) i tak powinno byc. Rowniez tu (http://bees.library.cornell.edu/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=bees;idno=5017629) angielskie tlumaczenie pracy Dzierzona podaje Dzierżon, Jan. Czy skontaktowales sie z museum w Kluczborku, albo przeczytales dowody i fotokopie w podanych pracach Brozka, Gladysza i ks. Mazaka? Pomijanie zrodel polskich jest niedopuszczalne. Ci ktorzy chca zmieniac artykul powinni uznac wage zrodel polskich wage a nie lawirowac na drugorzednych przekladach i niepelnych zrodlach. Podane tez sa wspolczesne artykuly w prasie polskiej i napisane przez Polakow. Trzeba je wniesc do tekstu. Niech chociaz bedzie widoczne ze spoleczenstwo polskie ma silne zdanie na ten temat.

Bierz zawsze pod uwage ze: 1) w okresie Bismarck'a zniemczano imiona celowo 2) Poszukiwania liczbowe zapisu imion na internecie sa falszywka - autorzy wtedy i dzisiaj powtarzaja to co zostalo zniemczone i wprowadzone w pismie, clowo, przez nieuwage lub niewiedze. Jedyna droga czy jego imie powinno byc pisane Jahann czy Jan jest stwierdzenie ze Dzierzon uwazal sie za Polaka i kultywowal polskos, i tak jest zgodnie z dokumentami opisanymi w pracach Brozka, Gladysza i ks. Mazaka etc. --Soujdspo (talk) 02:01, 12 April 2010 (UTC) --Soujdspo (talk) 02:40, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, you seem to know something about Polish heraldry. We know that Nick Clegg is the great-grandson of 'Ignaty Zakrevsky', who was a Russian diplomat in the 1890s and an attorney general in the Imperial Russian senate. 'Zakrevsky' had an estate near Kiev. Do you have any way of researching whether 'Zakrevsky' was related to Ignacy Wyssogota Zakrzewski (d.1802) ? A family tree would be ideal. -Chumchum7 (talk) 07:40, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alas his family seems to be pure Russian. (Zakrevskye) just in 1686. [2]

His ancestor Закревский, Игнатий Платонович (Ignaty Platonovich Zakrevsky) was Russian attorney general of 1th Department of Governing Senate. [3] Polish Zakrzewscy was family from Wielkopolska and is no evidence that these two familes are linked in some way. Mathiasrex (talk) 14:20, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this. By the way, you have some cool maps. i've been trying to find one that would show ALL the Polish estates, the divisions between the Crown lands, the Radziwill lands, the Zamoyski lands, the Church lands, etc etc. I wonder whether the map of the Rzepa should really look like a map of the 'patchwork quilt' of the Holy Roman Empire. Certainly, it would better illustrate how the Rzepa wasnt a centralized state like Russia or Prussia. It would be a useful tool for historians. But I've never seen such a map. -Chumchum7 (talk) 20:10, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Livonia was definitely lost by Poland from 1629, even Polish WP has it: [4]. Please correct the date on the map to 1619-1629, as its a great map. -Chumchum7 (talk) 18:58, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that you are the user that uploaded JKChodkiewicz.jpg; do you happen to know the name of the artist who painted the original? It's not included in the image description. siafu (talk) 16:37, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: [5]. Nice except that Niemen does not flow thru Vilnius. Renata (talk) 21:06, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't get it. How a meeting in Vilnius on a bridge across Niemen could have taken place or had any impact on anything if the river does not flow thru the town? Renata (talk) 00:02, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello M. Could you please rewrite the entries about this at Vilnius and at History of Vilnius in your own words, since your additions [6], [7], were close to verbatim from Piotr S. Wandycz's book [8]. Mr. Wandycz may have been in error about the river/bridge here, but you could address that during your rewrite by shortening the entries to read just on a bridge in Vilnius. Novickas (talk) 21:46, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Got your message. The problem remains - if he erred about the event's location in Vilnius, then it doesn't belong in the Vilnius articles; if as you assert, it took place in Kaunas, it could go there instead, but only if you can produce a reliable source for it. I truly don't think it would be acceptable to put it in Kaunas on the basis of your interpretation of his intent, without some sort of verifiable correction on his part; our own readings of 'what he meant' don't carry any weight on WP. You could write to him and ask him to clarify this, but of course a private email exchange would be problematic. He could however publish some sort of public statement. If that doesn't happen... you could still include this info in some other article using some sort of workaround. Novickas (talk) 22:29, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WRT to copyvio - I may not have made the issue clear in terms of Wikipedia copyright policy. Your revisions [9], [10] still incorporate an entire sentence from the book - 'In August 1861, manifestations in Vilnius resulted in clashes with the Russian army.' vs the book's 'In August, 1861, manifestations in Wilno resulted in clashes with the Russian army.' [11] with a one-word difference (Wilno to Vilnius). As described here, 'there is no such thing as a safe word count'.[12] If you disagree with this, you could take it to one of the copyright boards, e.g. Wikipedia:Copyright violations. If you find it difficult to reword, several options: read the guidance at Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing, ask another editor, or wait for me to do it. Novickas (talk) 16:53, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Got your message. I still see your version as too close to the source, and again request that you bring this to a copyvio board if you disagree - altho they are swamped - if you don't post there within the next couple days, I'll do it. Novickas (talk) 17:44, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

@ Maciej!

Can't you help user:Poznaniak to produce his maps in international versions with English and perhaps German legend, in addition to the Polish version? "Zhołdowane" I did not even find in my dictionary – and most English and German readers have no Polish dictionary. Meanwhile, I've researched that, due to its use in pl.wiki, it may mean "subdued"/"unterworfen". But maps presented in WP ought to be understandable without special research.

Yours' sincerely, Ulamm (talk) 14:58, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed the map to "Southern Bug", reflecting the title of the current article. Feel free to take up your other arguments elsewhere :) - Jarry1250 ^{[Who? Discuss.]} 11:19, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mathiasrex, thank you for your work on the articles of Polish artists and philosophers. Please add categories only where there is sourcing given in the article. With Bronisław Malinowski, Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, ‎ Józef Czapski, Konstanty Jeleński and Czesław Miłosz you added LGBT cats with no cites given. WP:EGRS notes "Inclusion [in a category] must be justifiable by external references... Categories that make allegations about sexuality – such as "closeted homosexuals" or "people suspected to be gay" – are not acceptable under any circumstances." Thank you.

The Commons hold 2 portraits of Ignacy Krasicki by Per Kraft that are both labeled identically "File:Ignacy Krasicki.JPG".

One is your color portrait of 26 July 2006.

The other is a black-and-white portrait that now appears on the "Fables and Parables" page.

I would like to replace the black-and-white portrait with your color one; but I'm unable to do this because both carry the same label.

Could you possibly change the label on your color portrait -- or submit the portrait again under a different label?

Is this the maximum sharpness available with this portrait?

Where can the Per Kraft original be found?

I have long admired your photography. I would appreciate any help you could give with the Ignacy Krasicki portrait.

Thanks.

Nihil novi (talk) 06:43, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help with the seated portrait in "Ignacy Krasicki".

Actually, what I need is your small color portrait to substitute for the black-and-white one that appears in Krasicki's "Fables and Parables".

Best,

Nihil novi (talk) 09:10, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What I have in mind is the half-length colored portrait of Krasicki, photographed by you, that appears [15] here.

Thanks. Nihil novi (talk) 01:22, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Have you looked at [16] ? Your Krasicki portrait there is in color. That's the picture I want to put on the "Fables and Parables" page, instead of the similar but black-and-white image. Nihil novi (talk) 08:52, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's probably missed original portrait by Krafft, [17], take notice on difference between this one [18] Mathiasrex (talk) 09:02, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that they both have the same label: "File:Ignacy Krasicki.JPG" -- which I think is why I'm unable to change the black-and-white version to the color one. Nihil novi (talk) 09:15, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sądzę, że problem możnaby łatwo rozwiązać, gdybyś mógł stworzyć wersję swej barwnej fotografii z inną etykietką. Nihil novi (talk) 09:23, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Czyli chodzi Ci tylko o zmianę nazwy pliku czy o zmianę grafiki na kolorową. Są to dwa różne obrazy, co widać w różnicy pomiędzy szczegółami (w kolorowym Krasicki ma coś co wygląda na część kaptura). Mathiasrex (talk) 09:26, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The first is not simply colour version of image in en wiki but is another portrait. Mathiasrex (talk) 09:23, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I know. And that (your color portrait) is the one I'd like to use on "Fables and Parables". But I can't because it carries the same label as the black-and-white portrait. Nihil novi (talk) 09:29, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tak -- chodzi o zmianę nazwy pliku, żeby można było użyć na "Fables and Parables". Nihil novi (talk) 09:32, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

dałem do zmiany nazwy na commons musimy zaczekać, chyba prościej byłoby skasować czarno-biały z en wiki i załadować go pod inną nazwą na commons. Mathiasrex (talk) 09:38, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Można skasować. Inna wersja czarno-biała, stworzona przez Wyciorka (19 II 2006) juź istnieje pod nazwą "File:Ignacy-Krasicki-oil.jpg". Nihil novi (talk) 09:58, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tym bardziej, że czarno-białej "File:Ignacy Krasicki.JPG" brak, jak to stwierdzono na pliku, pewnych niezbędnych informacji (które znajdują się na pliku "File:Ignacy-Krasicki-oil.jpg" [19]: "Ignacy Krasicki, obraz olejny, 1767, Per Krafft").

Czy umiałbyś czarno-białe "File:Ignacy Krasicki.JPG" ([20]) zlikwidować? Nihil novi (talk) 05:52, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your beautiful new portrait of Ignacy Krasicki [21].

I've placed it in 6 articles which previously showed less authentic portraits. Your illustration adds greatly to the articles' attractiveness.

Thanks for your efforts and patience! Nihil novi (talk) 02:20, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ICHTHUS

May 2012

From the Editor

[edit]

This month marks the observation of Pentecost, one of the most important feast of the Christian liturgical year. It is our hope here that all of you, regardless of your religious affiliation (if any), find that the holiday, and its accompanying activities, an enjoyable and beneficial experience. We also hope that this "Birthday of the Church" is one which gives you the same joy as the birthday of yourself or your loved ones.

Ichthus is the successor to the long running WikiProject Christianity newsletter, run under the WikiProject Christianity’s Outreach department. As such, you will continue to see information about our latest featured and good articles, DYKs, as well as new members who have joined our project. You might also see links to Christianity related news from the mainstream media!

With that, I wish you all happy reading!

Help Bring Wikipe-tan "into the fold"

[edit]

As many of you may know, our unofficial mascot, dear Wikipe-tan, hasn't yet indicated any particular beliefs. However, yes, as we all know, ahem, some people might object to our beloved mascot running around in a French maid outfit. People do talk, you know. ;) If anyone might be able to develop an image of the dear lady in a image more, well, "Christian," I would like to see perhaps a vote for next month as to which, if any, image of the dear girl we might make our own unofficial mascot. Please post your images here.

Christianity in other wikis

[edit]

As many of you might now, there are a large number of other Wikimedia Foundation projects, including WikiSource, Wiktionary, Wikibooks, WikiQuote, and others. I certainly believe that Wikibooks and Wikiquote might be among the more directly relevant sister projects. If any of you can think of any particular efforts in these other projects which you think would benefit from more input, please let us know here, so we can help spread the word around.

By John Carter

Spotlight on the Outreach department

[edit]

Ichthus will spotlight a different subproject or workgroup of WikiProject Christianity. This edition will spotlight on our vital Outreach department. This comparatively small, but vital, project unit is dedicated to welcoming new editors to Wikipedia and the Christianity related content, and to providing information to the various project members, in forms like this newsletter.

The scope of articles with which this group deals is truly enormous, and, given the wide variety of material with which we deal, we would very much welcome the input of more individuals, particularly individuals who are particularly knowledgeable of the less well-known and less frequently monitored articles related to Christianity.

Speaking personally, I would be very, very gratified if we were to have this become a very, very large and active unit, with members from the broad spectrum of Christian beliefs, practices, and groups. The broader the spectrum and areas of expertise of members we have, the better we will be able to help manage the content. Please consider whether you believe you might be able to contribute in this vital area.
