Welcome

Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages!

Here are some tips to help you get started:

• If you haven't already, please add your name to the new user log to let others know a little about yourself.
• Read the article describing how to edit a page and feel free to experiment in the Sandbox.
• When editing pages, use the preview button before submitting and try to fill in the summary box for every edit.
• Eventually, read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
• If you need help, post a question in the Newcomers' Village Pump or ask me on my talk page.
• Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!
Jrdioko

P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).

Old talk

Piotrus,

I've run out of things to say about treecats that won't give away everything. You might want to cast an eye over the article and see if there's anything you can think of. ww 19:04, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)

--- Piotrus,

you may want to add links to polish wikipedia like this ] at the end of article. Hope this helps! Szopen 11:07, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Nice job, Piotrus :) If i my suggest, you my want to add

( like this: {{msg:battles}} ) in info about battles; also, i think that battle of Kircholm should be separate page from info about city itself; I alway wanted also to create separate page on hussaria, since hussars, despite similarity of the name and common ancestry, have not much common with Polish hussars - but, judging from your link collection, already know it :)

Hi, about the articles on Weber's books, you don't need to add the articles in the "see also" section, because they're already linked in the article text. See Misplaced Pages:Manual of style for more. Yours, Meelar 16:00, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC) ---

Hi Piotrus, I´m not too sure that my articel is dood for an encoclopedy - it was an essay for the university. However, I have read the english one and its different and that is good becaus I loke the difference. On the other hand is my english not good enough! --Ot 14:38, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Hi again, I think really that it is better a native english speaker should translate something and however, the differenc in the articles is not to bad!--Ot 15:38, 17 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Copyrights of paintings

In response to yours IM inquiry, I believe that, basically, reproductions of paintings for which copyright expired are in Public Domain. On Misplaced Pages:Public domain image resources it is said: Accurate photographs of paintings lack expressive content and are automatically in the public domain once the painting's copyright has expired (95 years after initial publication).

Redirects

This may be a mistake you just didn't add, but at Patrimonialism, you put redirect ] when it should have been #redirect ]. Just letting you know, you may have just been in a hurry.--naryathegreat 22:34, Jul 23, 2004 (UTC)

Likely that. I know the rule and checked my latest redirects - they work. Tnx for correcting that one though. Hmmm. Setting aside the tech stuff, patrimonalism is the same thing as patriarchy right? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 11:27, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)

yep, patrimonalism is the idea, patriarchy is the government, same thing, just different word forms. anyway, i just corrected it because I saw it on the new pages (i check them often for speedy deletion candidates ;)--naryathegreat 01:38, Jul 25, 2004 (UTC)

Naming wars

Since you were either directly or indirectly once involved into edits revolving around "proper" naming of cities like Gdansk/Danzig etc i thought you may be interested in my proposition in User:Szopen/NamingWar. I would want to create a way aimed at stopping the revert wars in future - through creating something like a msg (in see also list or header) explaining that's there is compromise and why, and by linking to the article explaining changes of the statuses of the Royal Prussia province (I would prefer it ot have it as separate article, not scatter it in plethora other articles). I would be happy to hear from you. Szopen 09:22, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

A very good idea - both as a naming wars container and as a good separate article in its own rights. I definetly support the idea and if you need any help let me know - although my knowledge of that subject is pretty limitted. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 09:44, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Commercializ*

I noticed that you wrote some dictionary entries Commercialize and Commercialization. Dictionary entries like these are really more appropriate for Wiktionary, so I moved them there. Encyclopedia entries should begin with a definition, but need to go on to talk about the subject. If you only have a definition, then it's usually better just to add the definition in an appropriate place in the article that you're linking from, and not create the new article yet at all.

For now, I've redirected Commercialize (the verb) to Commercialization (the noun), and left the latter as a substub. But if you know enough about commercialization to write a good stub article, then that would be nice.

Of course, you created those articles a while ago. So perhaps you've already learned about stubs and Wiktionary! Then I apologise for wasting your time trying to teach you what you already know. ^_^

linki a diakrytyka

Piotrusiu! Litości! Angielska wiki nie obsługuje w całości polskich czcionek (poza "ó"). Dlatego nie można ich używać w nazwach artykułów i dlatego też takie linki są psu na budę. W artykule o Koniecpolskim jest ich cała masa, więc pomyślałem że możesz zwyczajnie o tym nie wiedzieć.

Zwróć uwagę na to, że link ] (Wieluń) donikąd nie linkuje. ] (Wieluń) - a i owszem. A takich niedziałających linków jest tam więcej... Pozdrawiam ] 01:34, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)

Nie wiedzialem :) Dzieki za info, bede teraz pamietal. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 20:00, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Template:Campaignbox XXXX

The templates are located at the dafault location of Template:Campaignbox XXX, where XXX is a name of the conflict or its front. That is the 1939 campaign box is at Template:Campaignbox Polish Defence War and the 1920 is at Template:Campaignbox Polish-Soviet War. However, I wouldn't disambiguate those links just now, unless you could create at least a stub on those "other" battles. IMO it's better to have a filled link to a disambiguation page than a link to non-existent article. ] 10:14, Nov 10, 2004 (UTC)

Max Weber

Hi, left comments on WP:PR for you. - Taxman 13:16, Nov 15, 2004 (UTC)

Wikinews demo up and running

Hi!

I'm writing to let you know that the Wikimedia Board of Trustees has approved the first stage of the Wikinews project. There's now a fully operational English demo site at demo.wikinews.org. This will be used for experimenting with various review models and basic policies before the site is launched officially in about a week. demo.wikinews.org will become the English version later.

You voted for the Wikinews project, so I'm asking for your participation now. Everything is open, nothing is final. What Wikinews will and can be depends in large part on you. There already is a global Wikinews mailing list for discussing the project. If you are interested at all, please subscribe -- coordination is of key importance. There's also an IRC channel #wikinews on irc.freenode.net. Realtime discussion can help to polish up articles.

If you're looking for something to do, check out the articles in development and articles in review. Or start a new story in the Wikinews workspace, or ignore the proposed review system - it's up to you. I hope you'll join us soon in this exciting experiment.--Eloquence* 02:00, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)

Weber

You've done impressive work on Weber, Piotrus. As I said before, I was planning to go back tonight for a bit more format + grammar fixup, but, well, after you reverted the quote formatting and User:Clossius flamed me, I'll just leave you guys to it. I don't have that much time to spend on Misplaced Pages. But I hope Max Weber does get featured. Best wishes, ] 01:08, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
