| Let me give you a general pointer on Catholicism -- no Catholic priest speaks for the whole Church (no matter HOW much he wants to). He can speak on behalf of the Church only insofar as he speaks in union with his bishop and the teaching tradition of the Whole Thing, not just his own local prejudices. So, for instance, I can believe that plenty of individual Polish priests said things about language. They were wrong if they said 'God only understands Polish.'). If, however, they said 'I only understand Polish and refuse to hear your confession,' they were perhaps correct, but they had a duty to make sure that non-Polish speaking parishoners could make confession at least once a year. That is kind of the bare minimum. If they *did* speak German and refused to hear confessions in German, they are in the wrong. On the other hand, they were entirely within their rights to preach in another language - that has always gone on, that preaching is required in a national language. In fact, that was a big problem in the Austro-Hungarian empire. In contemporary America the Catholic Church has a major problem finding enough priests who can handle Spanish. It's fairly easy to learn enough Spanish to say the Mass - which essentially only involves reading out loud, not necessarily understanding every syllable. It's harder to preach. Hardest of all is confession. In fact, Catholic priests very frequently are given permission by their bishop to *only* say Mass in certain languages, but *not* to hear confessions, since that involves a higher standard of language knowledge. Of the 2 priests in my very small city in New York State they both are allowed to say Mass and preach in Spanish, but only one hears confessions. I don't know what the circumstances are which you are representing, but you are not giving enough information in your one-sentence statments about language supression. --MichaelTinkler | |||

| Hi Helga -- just some English info for you -- | |||
| Hello H.J. | |||
| I know that in German, you'd just write erst(e), zweite, dritte, usw., like this : 1., 2., 3. | |||
| Unfortunately, that doesn't work in English. The ending you write depends on what the number is, so 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th. After that, unless the number ends in a 1, 2, or 3, it ends in 'th'. ] | |||

| Hi Helga -- | |||
| Thank you very much. | |||
| Please believe that this is not meant in a mean-spirited way. You seem to be getting into another of your "add as many articles as possible as quickly as possible" rolls. Unfortunately, what you're adding is just a bunch of genealogical entries. They aren't well-written, and they don't have any information other than the "father of, husband of, wife of" type. Moreover, it seems that, in your rush, you're not really thinking about the titles you give to your entries, even though you have had ample opportunity to read all the talk on nomenclature. Finally, you don't seem to be doing any editing or proofreading before you post. This is really frustrating, because there are a lot of us who actually do write in whole sentences and try to include information about WHY they person is important enough to deserve an article. (I don't know if they are frustrated, too -- I'm only speaking for me). Could you please consider writing one good article instead of five that others will have to come along and fix? You've written a lot of extensive stuff, so I know you know how to do it! ;-) ] | |||
| Werner Hartig | |||
| To ] I get the most important basic facts, such as BD , marriage death of a person in. That has on this list started ,so far been missing, as well as on many other lists. Then I or anyone else can add any other information they have. We have been getting a lot of information together that way. It does not say anywhere that it has to be a complete article, or does it ? At least I have not seen that. | |||
| ] | |||
| ==Speedy deletion of ]== | |||
| :It doesn't say that, but it's plain good manners. Also, by taking the time think out an article written in complete sentences and with a couple of important points, it gives you the ability to judge whether or not someone is important enough to worry about. There are lots of people who want this project to work -- we therefore feel obligated not to leave sloppy stubs around. When you create a sloppy stub, someone else feels motivated to fix it -- even if the person is not really important Eadgyth, for example. She's not entirely unimportant, but she isn't worth slacking on her husband! It's more important, IMO, to have fewer good articles than tons of unhelpful ones (and dates and relations just aren't that useful if there's no context). What you are doing is creating more than you can fulfill, and therefore obligating others to finish your work, rather than start work of their own. ] | |||

| Why is Edith or Eadgyth (daughter of English king) not that important or any other daughter, wife etc? | |||
| On the contrary: | |||
| The wifes and daughters were some of the most important parts of the empire and the rule in Europe. Matrilinial passing on of the crown had many times saved the dynasty and kept the land going. Stop your whining!!! Go take a break. | |||
| ] | |||
| == ] == | |||
| :I am not whining -- just pointing out historical fact. Yes, royal women were often hugely important and influential -- but not all of them. You seem to be saying that Edith was important by virtue of being royal. THat's not true (she was fairly influential, by all reports, but hardly as powerful as Plectrude or Eleanor of Aquitaine!). If you followed my advice and wrote a real article, you could prove your point. As it is, I stand by what I said before -- throwing a bunch of badly-written genealogy on the site is just inconsiderate, when you could be writing full articles, or even complete stubs -- something we all know you can do when you care about something. If you don't care enough to do a decent job, please leave it to people who do. ] | |||

| ] | |||
| --------- | |||
| :Since you started with Wladislaw, it seems better to keep it that way, as long as we're consistent. I suggest that in the first line, you add '(or Ladislaus)' -- then people might not be confused. | |||
| Regarding the rest, I know you started these a while ago -- I just hoped you'd actually finish them -- even if you don't have time for long articles, you could add a bit at a time to one article and make it good, rather than just leaving a trail of unfinished stuff and hope others would clean it up. For example, with Jadwiga, you could link her to the ] and include something about why she was a saint. Also, it's not really clear that she was the sole heir to the throne, and that's why it was important that she inherit -- and when she inherited, did she actually rule, or was it just a convenient way for the Jagiellos t get their hands on the crown. This is one of the things that I find really frustrating -- you've done a bunch of research, clearly know enough to feel confident in starting an entry -- but to get all the info in, somebody else needs to duplicate or extend research you started before you dropped it to go on to something else! ] | |||

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Misplaced Pages's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
- Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
- Multi-Licensing Guide
- Free the Rambot Articles Project
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
- Option 1
- I agree to ] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
OR
- Option 2
- I agree to ] all my contributions to any ], county, or city article as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)
