| :Yeah, I was going to inform about some outrageous remarks made there as well as the whole initiative of some users, whose aim is to get rid of Piotrus, one of the most creative members of the whole project. | |||
| ], which started as a series of complaining about ] (whom you I am sure all know), has now expanded () with claims that our Project/Noticeboard is a "cabal" and that all Polish editors are biased and likely support Piotrus in some terrible plan to undermine Misplaced Pages. Example arguments include: "...there is a small group of Polish nationals on Misplaced Pages"..."It has been happening all over Polish articles, with topics that they never edited before suddenly being besieged by Polish editors, and rules everyone else follows being swept aside by their block voting"..."Since Piotrus has a vast array of IRC and IM friends, happy to blindly revert to Piotrus's edits I doubt that it would work, but we can try"... Among other things, ] is portrayed as a vehicle for cabalism :) It looks like about half of members of this Project/Board are mentioned there as contributing in some shape and form to the Piotrus-led Polish cabal - if you've ever interacted with Piotrus, you may find that and other diffs presented there as proof you are a member of his cabal. This would be funny if it wasn't serious (some editors who have been harassing Piotrus, and to a lesser extent, me and other members of this project) want to ban Piotrus and portray our WikiProject as an evil cabal. I hesitated to bring this issue here since at first it was about Piotrus, not our WikiProject, but now I think the line has been crossed.

When Misplaced Pages was new, many users from similar backgrounds were editing at random, because they didn't know each other. It is only recently that many returning users finally got to know and trust those with similar views. They’ve learned who is who, which in turn enabled them to form a kind of Einsatz Gruppen for political and moral assassinations, and successful enforcing of extreme prejudices. I read about this worst case scenario online long before now, but it is only now that this scheme finally became possible. I’m not sure what is going to happen, but personally, I’m beginning to seriously worry about the outcome. --] ] 23:13, 1 October 2008 (UTC) | |||

| == Is there an official position in relation to this kind of wording? == | |||
| From the ] article: | |||
| <blockquote> | |||
| The Red Army occupied the town on March 4, 1945. As a result of the Potsdam Conference following World War II, Belgard was '''placed under Polish administration in 1945'''; its German population was expelled and replaced with Poles, many themselves expellees from Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union. | |||
| </blockquote> | |||
| This is a jarring style to me I'd re-phrase that as ''integrated into Poland's territory in 1945''. Uncontroversial and neutral.<br> I'd also prefer ''removed'' to ''expelled'' and ''populated'' to ''replaced''. ] (]) 15:14, 4 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :See my changes to the article; not quite what you suggested (I think integrated implies too much, and I don't see anything wrong with expelled), but hopefully an improvement.--] (]) 15:51, 4 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ::OK looks quite acceptable now, there's however some discrepancy with the Polish Misplaced Pages version which says that Belgard was conquered by Russian-Polish troops on the March 5, 1945 (no verifiable source given though). ] (]) 15:59, 4 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :Official reaction? Other than us finding such non-neutral wording, restoring NPOV, and often fighting for years with certain POV pushers bent on stressing some POVS... no, not really.--<sub><span style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">]|]</span></sub> 16:46, 4 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| To answer the question raised in the section's title: Yes, there is an official position in relation to this kind of wording: | |||
| The phrase "''placed under Polish administration''" is the (almost) exact phrase used in the ] where it reads "''shall be under the administration of the Polish State''". A re-phrasing should thus not be necessary, eg "integrated into Poland's territory" would be a more troublesome wording as this could be challenged, you all know that the ''de facto'' status was quiet clear after the war, but the ''de jure'' status was not, and there are different POVs about whether or not it was "Polish territory administered by Poland" or "German territory administered by Poland" back then. What was and is unchallenged is "only" the "territory under Polish administration" (isn't that sufficient?). Given the scope of the article, it would be best to follow the phrasing of the Potsdam Agreement instead of using the "Polish territory" term, that way one must not further debate that issue getting forced by WP:NPOV to represent the different POVs. The phrase "expelled" is also ''the'' widely accepted term for the removal of the former German population, so why change? | |||
| Now what I don't get is what you mean by POV-pushing and non-neutral wording. ] (]) 17:23, 4 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :Would Postdam wording be superceeded by later treaties (], ], ], ])? It seems to me that insistence on 60-year old wording is a bit... outdated, at the very least, and borders on border revisionism (questioning the stability of modern borders). --<sub><span style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">]|]</span></sub> 18:55, 4 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ::Skäpperöd, Looking back and pasting literal phrasing from various non-effective treaties concerning European history into Misplaced Pages articles is not obviously the right thing to do. We are here to write the best possible encyclopaedic articles - Misplaced Pages's good is our goal not creating justifications for political decisions of superpowers from over 60 years ago. ] (]) 19:49, 4 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| Well we were talking about 1945 events, and about the official wording for these events, weren't we? And until the various border treaties that Piotrus mentioned were drawn, the Potsdam Agreement was the only legal basis. Border revisionism? Justifications for political decisions of superpowers? Calm down, what are you talking about in the first place? ] (]) 20:17, 4 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :When we write about the ], we don't use original statements from few thousand years old. In article about the Postdam Agreement, original quotes may be acceptable (if clearly marked as such). When we write about German invasion of Poland in 1939, we go beyond original German justifications for it, even if we write about the days before Polish or Western commentators issued their counter-justifications. In that case, just as when we write about modern Polish-German border, wording accepted by most modern scholarship should be used.--<sub><span style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">]|]</span></sub> 20:38, 4 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| I understand you mistaken the Potsdam terminology for a unique historical phrase only used in this agreement meaningless to all further phrases used. That is not the case, this wording was and is used to describe the 1945+ events (see eg Condi Rice et al, 1997, find others via web searches), and no this is not used in a POV sense but merely to most accurately describe the situation ''without'' an interpretation. The rendering of the term to express a certain POV was done by (a) attributing the term "temporarily" (West German government POV) or (b) basing a final territorial claim on the Potsdam agreement ignoring the explicit postponing of this matter to a "final peace settlement" which never was drawn (Polish government POV), and that was only substituted by the 2+4 treaty prior to German reunification and the respective PL-GE-border treaties. I am not interested in using only contemporary phrases to describe historical events, which indeed would not make sense, but instead I am interested in proper adressing historical issues. | |||
| You see I am trying to be most neutral, and I am astonished of you not bothering to study the matter first and instead yell POV and border revisionism at me. For the controversity I mentioned above, see eg who gives a small overview stating a little more detailed what I summarized above, there are other books going into much more detail if you really are interested. ] (]) 07:58, 5 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :Purely from a language point of view, "placed under Polish administration" implies to me that it wdidn't become part of Poland, just that Poles were acting as the authorities there (as in certain parts of Iraq and Afghanistan recently). It may have been the language used in the original treaty, but the facts of the matter result from much more than just that treaty. Unless we are going to go into great detail about the circumstances of the border change in every article about a town in these territories (which seems undesirable, when we can just link to a general article), we should summarize the facts as the reader will best understand them. For me "became part of Poland" does that best - maybe someone can do better. One thing to avoid is giving the impression (as some articles of this type do) that the town or village in question was a specific issue in the post-war negotiations, rather than just a part of a much larger region that changed hands.--] (]) 09:36, 5 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ::''As a result of the Potsdam Conference following World War II, Belgard (Białogard) became part of Poland.'' - for me mentioning and linking to the Potsdam Conference is enough as a historical/political background. It'd be going overboard if we had to give more detailed explanations in ''every'' article about a town or village in these territories. ] (]) 10:16, 5 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| To go into much detail is just what I want to avoid, we have consensus on that. The aim is to find a terminology that does not express a POV and is immune against challenging, so we have a stable, NPOV version without detailed information that would violate WP:UNDUE. I think we have consensus about that, too. | |||
| @Kotniski: "''Purely from a language point of view, "placed under Polish administration" implies to me that it didn't become part of Poland, just that Poles were acting as the authorities there''" That is exactly what happened. And after the administration was turned over to the Polish authorities by the Red Army, the Polish authorities ''did'' integrate Belgard into the post-war Polish state, unlike the situation in eg Afghanistan today. Yet it is questionable if they were legitimized to do so by the Potsdam Agreement, there we have different POVs (in literature as shown above, please don't make that a personal issue). So either we let out the Potsdam Agreement as the cause of the integration into Poland, or we mention the Potsdam Agreement as a cause but let out the "part of Poland". Or we mention the Potsdam Agreement saying it placed Belgard under Polish administration, which it did (no more no less). The current (?) terminology used in the article, "became Polish", is also perfectly alright, yet you asked for the "official" one. ] (]) 10:40, 5 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :Maybe we'd do better not to mention the Potsdam Agreement specifically, since that was just one part of the process by which these regions became Polish. Maybe it would be better to say something like "as a result of the ] B. became Polish/part of Poland." Then readers know where to go for full information, and are not misled in any of the various ways that they might be when we say that it happened "because of Potsdam".--] (]) 13:23, 5 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| As I said above that's one way to do that. "Post-war boundary changes" is a good choice, it combines all changes de facto, de jure, by force, by treaty, without going into detail about that or mentioning actual dates for which the situation would have to be described more accurately. The question is whether to wikilink that to ] as this seems to be a low-developed merge candidate, or rather to ] which bears much more information, but is not in best shape either. (Maybe it won't really matter to which article we link at all because all the respective articles are interlinked...) ] (]) 14:07, 5 October 2008 (UTC) | |||

| Hi, I belive that the ] should be renamed to the "Democratic Party (Poland)". I think it would be a better translation of the name, and that current translation is wrong. Firstly, "alliance" means "sojusz", and not "stronictwo", which would be just "party". Word stronictwo, literally means 'a side of something', or 'a part of something', eg, a party. Futhermore, Polish title is in adjective form, so even "Democratic Alliance" would be more correct in this case. As such, "Alliance of Democrats" would rather be translation of "Sojusz Domokratów", than "Stronictwo Demokratyczne. What do you think? ] (]) 20:07, 18 October 2024 (UTC) | |||

| Do you find a standard behaviour to declare that an editor confirmed his nationality with a DNA testing? I find such statement racist and totally unrelevant to editing this Misplaced Pages. In this case it was allegedly a ''non-Polish'' DNA (what is it a Polish DNA ?), but I wouldn't like any such declaration about any nationality. ] (]) 07:09, 6 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :Such statement looks like nationalistic (or racist) and very close to hate speech, so not a good thing to the Misplaced Pages community. However I suppose that from scientific standpoint it is completely senseless - it is impossible to claim that you are 100% Polish, German, French or whatever. What is the nationality after all ? One can say that his/her genetic makeup is in, let's say, 70% concordant with DNA shared by a population consisting of nationals of a given country. ] (]) 15:55, 6 October 2008 (UTC) | |||

Dividing Warszawa Główna railway station into two or three articles
Hi, I wrote more in detail about my proposal in the article talk page, but in short, the name Warszawa Główna railway station throughout history was used fir three different stations, one in the 1930s/1940s, one in 1940s–1990s, and current one built in 2021. As such, I want to propose to creating separate articles for them.Artemis Andromeda (talk) 01:01, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
Renaming the Alliance of Democrats (Poland) to Democratic Party (Poland)
Hi, I belive that the Alliance of Democrats (Poland) should be renamed to the "Democratic Party (Poland)". I think it would be a better translation of the name, and that current translation is wrong. Firstly, "alliance" means "sojusz", and not "stronictwo", which would be just "party". Word stronictwo, literally means 'a side of something', or 'a part of something', eg, a party. Futhermore, Polish title is in adjective form, so even "Democratic Alliance" would be more correct in this case. As such, "Alliance of Democrats" would rather be translation of "Sojusz Domokratów", than "Stronictwo Demokratyczne. What do you think? Artemis Andromeda (talk) 20:07, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
Any people intrested in writing about WW2 in Warsaw, who would like to collaborate?
Hi, I like writing Warsaw-related articles, such as about its neighbourhoods and buildings. But, I'm not the best when it comes to writing about WW2, and it's kinda a big topic when it comes to this city. So, I thought maybe there would be people with better expertise on the WW2 in Warsaw, who would like to collaborate with me. For example, I would write most of the article about some neighbourhood, and you would help me cover the revenant WW2 events in the history section etc? Idk, I just thought I could try to ask here. Feel free to write to me if you are interested :) Artemis Andromeda (talk) 21:13, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
