	Hey Piotrus, I'm contacting you to get the lowdown on the eve-wiki, i've read the rules, and they seem to be contradictory. Can you take a look at the skills and Accessories section, I started working on it, but now i'm getting that sinking feeling that maybe I'm linking things improperly.

	== "Noblesse oblige..." ==

	Dear Piotr:

	I just edited a useful combination of two different works: ] and ]. Nevertheless, I think it is not my contribution at all, there are mainly of ], ] and I presume yours also.

	So I edited at the ] the just truth. I wrote already to Halibutt, I tried to do the same thing to Emax (but he seems to be "out of orther") and I am writing you now.

	It seems an OK edition, since ] decided to rename it from the original " Template and Infobox PolishCoA FULL structure" to a much more wiki ].

	Best regards, my friend.

	== Cornell student project completed ==

	Many thanks Piotrus for your excellent advice and support, which helped us launch the project smoothly. The students enjoyed writing their articles and felt that they made a worthy contribution to the engineering area. I agree; their work was not perfect but definitely advanced the area.

	Our biggest technical challenges were in managing citations and images. Our biggest procedural challenge was the review process; the students were unwilling to challenge each others' work in public, so most reviews were whitewashes. (Markups in MS Word, exchanged privately, proved far more useful) We were fortunate that some experienced wikipedians stopped by to leave summary tags, usually re: categorization, wikification, image copyright, link poverty and orphan status. Thank goodness we had no wikipolitics and only a few minor vandalisms. As noted on ] (now under "Past Projects") chances are good that we'll do this again next year on a new set of topics, after running the students through an expanded suite of warm-up assignments to familiarize them with the mechanics of wiki-editing and the basics of copyvio prevention.

	Best wishes for the holidays! ] 23:47, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

	==Proposed Injunction==

	This is quick since it's a technical issue and I am just going afk: please elaborate on points 1 and 2 (less legal lingo :). Editwarring = revert war? Particulary point 2 - what is meant by 'unsolicited'? And if this mean uncivil comment or bad faith accusations, I'd stronly ask for it to be extended to article's talk space and edit summaries, where I think most problems take place.--<sub><span style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">]\|]</span></sub> 20:18, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

	:Yes, edit wars=revert wars. Unsolicited means unasked for. So unless you ask for Ghirla's opinion on something, he won't be able to post on your talkpage nor you on his. Basically you will be severing direct communication. To cover those other areas you mentioned, would require more explicit language against stalking and harrassment. I think this would be a bit strong and unnecessary since it is implicit, and you both understand that stalking or harassment would violate the terms. But if you feel such language is needed and Ghirla agrees, then I will add it.--] 23:22, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

	== Campaigning ==

	If you continue to escalate your anti-Ghirlandajo crusade and interfere with my editing of topics on Russian history, I will have to review some Polnad-related articles, in my turn.

	:Controversial moves should be done via ].

Thank you. --] 22:48, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

	== Wargames ==

	We have been pushing the idea of using images of wargames to show battlefield deployments and the course of events. Our problem is that we lack maps and people able of creating battlefield maps. By chance I realized you are familiar with the topic, so I would very much appreciate your advice.

	My idea was to use photos of wargames taken from a bird's eye view with colored arrows indicating troop movement. In case the symbols for the troops are figures they should be deployed, colored and equipped in a historically accurate fashion, furthermore it should be easily possible to determine their troop type and to which side they belong. This is likely suitable for premodern warfare.

	Kirill Lokshin raised the issue that it may not look professional, so I'm greatly interested in using the same wargaming style which was in use among the contemporary militaries. This would make it more authentic and really professional in my opinion, especially for the early modern and modern warfare until the rise of computers.] 23:32, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

	:No problem if you haven't this material. As I pointed out we are interested in quality and less in quantity. Perhaps you can help us to retrieve some material on how historic wargames looked like etc. I have heard rumours that ] was already using some kind of wooden miniatures to illustrate his battle plans. Furthermore I'm thinking about creating a review process for maps and wargames for accuracy and possibly some style guidelines.] 12:04, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

	== AN/I advice ==

	Thank you for the advice on the AN/I, I appreciate your sincere effort to help. I think it's a little too far gone for us to be "friends", but I would be happy with a long-standing ] :-).

	The problem is, we've really pissed each other off, and it's gotten to the point where we really don't like each other very much. He pissed me off with his attitude and actions during (and after) the great ] war of 2006, and I pissed him off when I vigorously opposed him in the arb com elections. Any little provocation on either side sets the whole thing ablaze again...

	==List of Polish Jews==

	Hi Piotrus. Thanks for looking into my concern. Recently I requested sources for the American politicians stating that these people are Polish Jews. So far, all thats been added were either links to[REDACTED] itself or pages that say the politicians had a Polish-Jewish parent, which clearly does not make them "Polish-Jewish politicians" as described in the page title and section title. Can we get a third opinion on this? Thanks. ] 22:58, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

	== Polish Casualties ==

	Czeéć<br/>::I know of no source that has the breakout of German casualties inflicted by the Polish Army in the East or by Polish Partisans. Overmnans has monthly deaths on the Eastern Front until 12/31/44 and monthly deaths for the entire war. Losses of German Police (63,462) proably include SS units fighting partisans. On the Soviet side of the ledger Krivosheev lists Soviet losses( KIA-MIA/WIA) for every major operation of the war and by yearly quarters. The losses of the Polish Armies are given a seperate line for the operations in 1944-45. Total Polish losses with the Soviets were about 24,000 (KIA/MIA) and Soviet Losses from July 44-May 45 were about 1.7 Million- about 70 times that of the Polish forces. Overmans lists 740,000 Germnan deaths in the East from July-Dec 1944, this does not include 300,000 POW. Plus from Jan-May 1945 the Germans lost 1.2 million (KIA/MIA), 80% against the Russians, 1 million dead plus about 2 million POW, in the East in 1945. In summary from July 44-May 45 the Germans lost about 3 million dead & POW , the USSR 1.7 million plus 24,000 Polish, 35,000 Romanian, 6,000 Czechoslovak and 10,000 Bulgarian allies . If you need additional information let me know--] 10:59, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

	== Polish Volksdeutsche Losses in Whermacht ==

	The other side of the coin of Polish losses is the ugly issue of those Polish citizens in the German uniform. The 1958 West German report on expellee losses listed 432,000 ethnic German war dead in addition to an unproven claim of 2.225 million civilian dead for all of eastern Europe. The Polish component of these losses was 108,000 Wehrmacht military deaths in addition to an unproven claim of 290,000 civilian deaths. Overmans does not breakout ethic German losses by country, he lists the total Volksdeutsch losses at 530,000, about 20% higher than the 1958 estimate. The Polish component of the Overmnans number may be about 120-130,000.--] 11:56, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

	== Polish POW Losses ==

	Polish losses also included POWs. The Germans released most Polish POWS in 1940 but others were sent to labor camps, Vadim Erlikman estimates 120,000 dead in German hands. The Soviets captured 455,000 Polish soldiers in the 1939 campaign according to Krivosheev. 209,000 were released and 246,000 sent to labor camps in the interior. Erlikman estimates 130,000 Polish POW deaths in Soviet hands. This is credible view of the fact that 83,000 came out with Anders and 36,000 served in the Polish Army in the USSSR. Years ago I knew a Polish war veteran of the Anders Army who survived these camps. Based on his description of conditions in Soviet POW camps, the statistic of 130,000 dead makes sense.--] 13:06, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

	Sorry to bother you again Piotrus, but since I am fairly new here, I would like to hear your opinion on this subject. Recently Ukrainian topics have been vindalized by a number of individuals that I have found have a lot in common. They are all recent creations and it looks like they are created by one particular purpose to vindalize Ukrainian topics as no other topics have been affected at all. Is this thing normal and allowed in Misplaced Pages? Please have a look at the activity of these users to me it is very unusual, in the least:
