History of Jews in Poland FAR
History of Jews in Poland has been nominated for a featured article review. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to featured quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, articles are moved onto the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article from featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Reviewers' concerns are here.
Grammar - Article Zygmunt Kurnatowski
Article Zygmunt Kurnatowski, Major General of army of Polish kingdom, is needing immediate attention. Please correct Grammar, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.86.173.19 (talk • contribs) 16:09, March 31, 2008
Please give your opinion about Proposal II which will define Central Europe
Give your support or opposition at the Central Europe talk page, since we are looking for a single definition for it.
This issue is related to Poland since it determines where it is located in Europe. ⇨ EconomistBR ⇦ Talk 17:18, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Thank you all that participated and gave their opinion on Proposal II.
Proposal II was approved, 13 editors supported it and 5 editors opposed it. Proposal II is now in effect and it redefined Central Europe. ⇨ EconomistBR ⇦ Talk 23:46, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Polish folk wedding
I was illustrating a different article and found this image. Since Polish Wedding is an article about a movie and I could not decide for which of Polish culture and Polish folk related articles is best to use it, I am bringing it here. Perhaps someone will start an article about Polish wedding traditions one day. Happy edits, --Irpen 20:56, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Stefan Banach again again
Can someone take over at Stefan Banach? I've already passed my daily quota of reverts. (I've also asked for a block or semi-protection at AN/I and requests for protection.)--Kotniski (talk) 11:24, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
- Vandal blocked. Please report any possible block evasions or comebacks. - Darwinek (talk) 11:37, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Central Europe: Proposal II
It appears that Proposal II for the definition of "Central Europe" has been adopted. If so, how would this best be implemented on sites such as "Template:Age of Enlightenment," where Poland still appears in the section on "Eastern Europe"? Nihil novi (talk) 17:08, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Talk:List of Polish resistance topics
Minor issue: please comment on which layout is better (and help expand the list).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 19:19, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Our Lady of Czestochowa in Voodoo
I added the following subsection to the article on The Black Madonna of Czestochowa. As unbelievable as it may seem its all true. Might be cool for "Did you know", right?
In Vodou, it is believed that a common depiction of Erzulie has its roots in copies of the icon of the Black Madonna of Częstochowa, brought to Haiti by Polish soldiers fighting on both sides of the Haitian Revolution from 1802 onwards. In her Petro nation aspect as Erzulie Dantor she is often depicted as a scarred and buxom woman, holding a child protectively in one hand and a knife in the other. She is a warrior and particularly a fierce protector of women and children. In Santeria, this image is referred to as Santa Barbara Africana. --Orestek (talk) 17:56, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- It is interesting, alas WP:DYK features only newly created or significantly expanded articles. That said, it is high time to update dyks for Portal:Poland.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 17:32, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Banach yet again
For anyone who is interested, the same anonymous contributor is again giving his interpretation of Stefan Banach's life and work. Nihil novi (talk) 08:42, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- Semi-protection? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 17:33, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, ASAP. Either that or block the IP again for a longer time. It might not be technically vandalism, since he seems to genuinely believe what he's saying, but it's pointless us wasting our time battling with this guy every week or so. Kotniski (talk) 17:58, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- Can you fill the request at Misplaced Pages:Requests for page protection? I am afraid if I were to semi the article, some may accuse me of abusing the admin tools (as I am Polish and I'd be protecting the Polish POV version...).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 18:12, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I have removed Translations paragraph because it contained only Ukrainian ones. Either many languaguages or none.Xx236 (talk) 09:19, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
How to stop jokes?
I believe that this Misplaced Pages isn't a forum for posting jokes. How to stop such a thread and remove unrelated comments? Xx236 (talk) 09:05, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- See WP:TALK for the relevant guideline; can you be more specific and link the joke thread that concerns you? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 17:22, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

komendant.cal.pl - spam?
More opinions needed: see MediaWiki_talk:Spam-whitelist/Archives/2008/04#komendant.cal.pl. If you agree with me that the case should be reopened, please start a new reqiest at MediaWiki_talk:Spam-whitelist.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 17:31, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Polish Speakers?
Hi, I'm trying to compile a list of notable references to support a Misplaced Pages article concerning a video editor. Two I have are in Polish - if there are any Polish speakers that could help by reading the articles this would be appreciated. The articles are here: Clesh#References If you believe from each article the video editor is notable please leave some form of brief comment about each article in the form of a summary above the document in link in the references section (as has been done with the other documents in there). Many thanks, mk (talk) 21:22, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- I've just removed these two references, since they seem barely relevant in fact.--Kotniski (talk) 12:50, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Is blackmail allowed here?
An example: If you wish to play more mind games with this outrageous ... bias, go for it, and you will get a tsunami of references to ...
For me such stament is a blackmail - if you write about it, we (?) will write about other subjects, you won't like. Or maybe a conspiracy - let's not discuss our subjects. Bot are rather organized crime activities than editing.Xx236 (talk) 07:58, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Bili Sarny detention centre
I've proposed Bili Sarny detention centre for deletion at Afd here. At present this seems to be an invention of a Ukrainian nationalist website, though if anyone has any real information about the existence or non-existence of the place it would be welcome.--Kotniski (talk) 09:10, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Gross - Fear - Perełka
From the new article on Fear - Anti-Semitism in Poland after Auschwitz: "The ongoing difficulty many Poles continue to have in confronting the facts of Polish wartime and post war violence against Polish Jews is witnessed daily in the attacks on wikipedia pages discussing the pogroms and murders of Jews carried out by Poles.". Lovely, isn't it? The book is notable, but the article needs some major rewriting to move away from rant style :> --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 22:17, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Diacritics
A couple of years ago I spent hours adding in diacritics to links of Polish cities. Now I see the lack of accents problem is back in a big way. May I please, please remind people (and I really shouldn't be the one doing this): it's Toruń not Torun, Poznań not Poznan, Wrocław not Wroclaw, Łódź not Lodz, and on and on. Thank you. Biruitorul (talk) 14:28, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Mayors of Gdańsk/Danzig
Should List of mayors of Gdańsk be split off from List of mayors of Danzig, as was recently done? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 18:49, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Category:Polish Catholics
This category needs to be populated, I guess... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 04:20, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- Or perhaps deleted, since it would include a large majority of Polish people and not be very informative.--Kotniski (talk) 09:47, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- I am also in favour of deletion. Such categories make sense for countries like the Czech Republic where most of people are Atheist, not for country which is a symbol of ardent Roman Catholicism. - Darwinek (talk) 09:53, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I disagree with deletion; it is only logical it should exist. It makes sense to categorize people by religion just as it makes sense to categorize them by ethnicity or profession. Category:Polish people by religion is useful - even if over 90% of Poles will fall into the Category:Polish Catholics. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 17:15, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- Can't see that the usefulness would be enough to justify the work involved, i.e. going round virtually every Polish person with an article, finding evidence that they are/were Catholic, and ending up with a category which looks not much different from a category of all Polish people.--Kotniski (talk) 17:50, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
