I put back in the date for opening from Polish Wikipedia, but if your information was more reliable please put it back in, ideally with a citation. Balcer 18:43, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You were right! Thanks for the citation. I will correct the dates on Polish Wikipedia.Balcer 11:40, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Category expansions on FIS Nordic World Ski Championships

[edit]

FYI. I just wanted to let you know that I expanded the three FIS Nordic World Ski Championships articles for events held in Poland to include the full name of the championships (1929, 1939, and 1962). You can click on the sports events in Poland category if you wish to have a look. Good job on the edits also. Chris 20:17, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Polish elections

[edit]

Hi EPWA. In reference to your edit to the above template earlier, the convention on the elections templates is that italics are used to denote future elections. Thanks, Number 57 08:09, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland

[edit]

We are now dividing our members into active, semi-active (have not edited a Poland-related article in more then three months or have 10 or less edits per month on average) and inactive (have not edited at all for three months or more). You occasionally edit Poland-related articles but have few edits in the past months; we are moving you to semi-active members category. Please consider participating in our project activities again in the future, we would love to work more closely with you again! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 18:01, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Starting New Month for 2009 Deaths

[edit]

If you look at the discussion page for 2009 deaths, you will see a lengthy discussion as to when the "old" month is cut out and copied onto its own page, leaving the new month on the "recent deaths" page. The group has come to a consensus that this should happen after the 7th day of the new month. For two months now you have made this edit early. I am assuming its because you have not read the discussion page.AlexDelPiero (talk) 19:43, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your CSD edits

[edit]

I'd appreciate it if you mark pages as patrolled once you review them (or mark them for deletion) as it saves other patrollers a significant amount of time. Thanks, AvN 15:58, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Leszek Kołakowski

[edit]

Hi. How do you know it was in Warsaw? I cannot find any sources for this; and naturally, it would be in Oxford, where he lived... I do not know though, and I would appreciate any info. Cheers. ziel & 16:44, 17 July 2009 (UTC) [reply]

AfD nomination of List of First Ladies of the United States by longevity

[edit]

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of First Ladies of the United States by longevity. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of First Ladies of the United States by longevity. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:14, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Dakar rally 2007

[edit]

Hello Whiteman. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Dakar rally 2007, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: R3 only applies to recent redirects. Use WP:RFD instead. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 23:01, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Monitor. WikiProject Poland Newsletter: Issue 1 (April 2011)

[edit]
WikiProject Poland Newsletter • April 2011
For our freedom and yours

Welcome to our first issue of WikiProject Poland newsletter, the Monitor (named after the first Polish newspaper).

Our Project has been operational since 1 June, 2005, and also serves as the Poland-related Wikipedia notice board. I highly recommend watchlisting the Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland page, so you can be aware of the ongoing discussions. We hope you will join us in them, if you haven't done so already! Unlike many other WikiProjects, we are quite active; in this year alone about 40 threads have been started on our discussion page, and we do a pretty good job at answering all issues raised.

In addition to a lively encyclopedic, Poland-related, English-language discussion forum, we have numerous useful tools that can be of use to you - and that you could help us maintain and develop:

This is not all; on our page you can find a list of useful templates (including userboxes), awards and other tools!

With all that said, how about you join our discussions at WT:POLAND? Surely, there must be something you could help others with, or perhaps you are in need of assistance yourself?

WikiProject Poland Newsletter • January 2014 • Issue II
For our freedom and yours

Welcome to the second issue of WikiProject Poland newsletter, the Monitor (named after the first Polish newspaper).

Our Project has been operational since 1 June, 2005, and also serves as the Poland-related Wikipedia notice board. I highly recommend watchlisting the Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland page, so you can be aware of the ongoing discussions. We hope you will join us in them, if you haven't done so already! Unlike many other WikiProjects, we are quite active; we get close to a hundred discussion threads each year and we do a pretty good job at answering all issues raised. Last year we were featured in the Signpost, and our interviewer was amazed at our activity. In the end, however, even as active as we are, we are just a tiny group - you can easily become one of our core members!

In addition to a lively encyclopedic, Poland-related, English-language discussion forum, we have numerous useful tools that can be of use to you - and that you could help us maintain and develop:

  • we have an active assessment department. As of now, our project has tagged almost 83,000 pages as Poland-related - that's an improvement of over 3,000 new pages since the last newsletter. Out of which 30 still need a quality assessment, and 2,000, importance assessment. We have done a lot to clear the backlog here (3 years ago those numbers were 1,500 and 20,000, respectively). Can you help assess a few pages?
    • assessing articles is as easy as filling in the class= and importance= parameters on the talk page in the {{WPPOLAND|class=|importance=}} template. See here for a how-to guide.
  • once an article has an assessment template, it will appear in our article alerts and news feed, which provides information on which Poland-related articles are considered for deletion, move, or are undergoing a Good or Featured review. Watchlisting that feed, in addition to watchlisting our project's main page, is a good way to make sure you stay up to date on most Poland-related discussions.
  • you can also see detailed deletion discussions at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Poland (which is a good place to watchlist if you just want to stay up to date on possible deletions of Poland-related content)
  • we have also begun B-class quality reviews on our talk page, and if our activity increases, hopefully we will be able to institute our own A-class quality reviews. As of now, we have about 500 C-class articles in need of a B-class review. If you'd like to help with them, instructions for doing B-class reviews are to be found in point 10 of our assessment FAQ. In addition to this automated list, you are also encouraged to help review articles from our B-class reviews requested list found here.
  • also, those articles will be included in our cleanup listing, which allows us to see which top-importance articles are in need for attention, and so on. We have tens of thousands articles in need of cleanup there, so if you ever need something to do, just look at this gigantic list. (I am currently reviewing the articles tagged with notability, either proving them notable or nominating for deletion; there are still several dozens left if you want to help!).
  • did you know that newly created Poland-related articles are listed here. They need to be reviewed, often cleaned-up, occasionally nominated for deletion, and their creators may need to be welcomed and invited to our project if they show promise as new authors of Poland-related content.
  • we are maintaining a Portal:Poland
  • automated Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland/Popular pages lists the most popular Poland-related pages from the previous month(s)
  • Breaking news: we are looking for a Wikipedian in Residence for the New York City area. See Wikipedia:GLAM/Józef Piłsudski Institute of America for details.

This is not all; on our page you can find a list of useful templates (including userboxes), awards and other tools!


With all that said, how about you join our discussions at WT:POLAND? Surely, there must be something you could help others with, or perhaps you are in need of assistance yourself?

It took me three years to finish this issue. Feel free to help out getting the next one before 2017 by being more active in WikiProject management :)

ArbCom elections are now open!

[edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

[edit]

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:08, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ski jumping overall section

[edit]

I know you mean well, but we don't tag overall leadership in advance (in the future). For example: yes, Dimitrov is tehnically grand prix winner, but you can't predict the future, 'cause you never know if next event(s) might be replaced, rescheduled or canceled, like ladies event was. If someone has 500 points of advantage you would normally extend his leadership for 5 events in the future, but not here. And it just looks silly. In the future just stick to the last competition, thanks. Sportomanokin (talk) 14:29, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

2021–22 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup moved to draftspace

[edit]

An article you recently created, 2021–22 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Passing of Paul Bucha

[edit]

I was in a Medal of Honor Character Development Program training session today for teachers. We were told of his passing when we returned from the lunch break. I said to myself, "I'll need to update the Wikipedia page", but you got to it before I got to my break. Thanks for your edits. Bob305 (talk) 18:55, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your kind words. Even though I am not American, I have great respect for your Armed Forces (of course also for mine, Polish) and I follow closely all new information about them. The equivalent of the Medal of Honor in my country is Virtuti Militari - and in recent days, due to the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising, I had the opportunity to meet some veterans awarded with such decoration. I wish you all the best and hope that our countries will remain close allies forever. Whiteman (talk) 13:32, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
