Student project

Hi, I reviewed Technophobia, failed it because it had a lot of work to do before meeting standards, and then it was quickly renominated. Someone notified me that the article was nominated even before a lot of my concerns were addressed, and that's when I realized it was one of your students. I will assume that you have given the students a set of housekeeping steps before submitting GANs, but in any case, I will list a few basic ones here to reiterate:

• Format references according to WP:CITE/ES, which especially requires that at least publisher and access dates for URLs are included. This is often overlooked but is very important.
• Ensure that every paragraph has a reference at the end; of course, this is not a strict requirement, but it makes it a lot easier for reviewers to know that all of the information in the article is referenced to something.
• The lead should be a summary of the entire article rather than simply an introduction.

These are the primary points that can be done by nominators; I am more than willing to help by moving references after punctuation marks if they aren't placed properly as those are just small maintenance work, but the above points need to be done by the nominators before nominating articles. Cheers! Gary King (talk) 16:40, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey dude!

Just saw your post here after peeing on a fire. Had to grin with the image of you and students! Anyhow, just saying hi! (You must be a "real bastard" to make students WRITE in the summer heat! <g>) // FrankB 07:26, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Battle of Saint Anne's Mountain

Hi Piotrus, could you help me out with this newly created article Battle of Saint Anne's Mountain? And could you possibly nominate it for DYK? Thanks. Tymek (talk) 19:20, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

DYKs

Thanks for your kind words. You can see whole list at User:Darwinek/DYK. - Darwinek (talk) 21:05, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

DYK nom

On 30 July, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Nicholas of Poland, which you recently nominated. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Class Extra Credit

Hello, this is Zach from our Societies course. Here is the diff for an edit I did for an extra point. I might try to do another one before tomorrow afternoon. Zlj2755 (talk) 06:40, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I just did another edit for an extra point. The previous survey results on church attendance and religious importance were not sourced so I found a source and replaced it, adding a decent sized paragraph. Here is the diff for that edit. Zlj2755 (talk) 16:33, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the pointers, I am still new to everything. I will address the things you mentioned. I will also try to make a few more edits since the deadline is extended. Thanks again. Zlj2755 (talk) 17:48, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Deleting reliably sourced information and instigating edit wars.

Please do not delete reliably sourced information, as you did here, simply because you don't like it. and please do not start your old tactic of instigating edit wars and baiting editors into 3RR violations, as you have dont in the past and are trying to do here. . As an Misplaced Pages admin, and a college professor, please behave more professionally and honestly. Boodlesthecat 19:07, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

and again

Why do you keep deleting the reliably sourced description of Gazeta Polska? You really need to stop this. Boodlesthecat 19:57, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Holocaust in Nazi-occupied Poland

Just wanted to remind you to be careful about WP:3RR. — ] (] · ]) 20:41, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

With respect to the Righteous in the lede of "History ...": This is an article about the Jews in Poland, not about the Poles and their role in the Holocaust. The most important points in the article should be summarized in the lede, and I don't think the number of righteous Poles is among the most important facts in Polish-Jewish history. — ] (] · ]) 21:09, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

I deleted more from the lede than I meant to. I restored part of it, and I moved the deleted footnotes to the appropriate place in the article. Please let me know if you think I made any other mistakes. Thank you. — ] (] · ]) 22:01, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

3RR not an entitlement

Hi Piotrus, just a friendly reminder that the 3RR is not entitlement to revert three times each day, nor does it endorse reverting as an editing technique. If there are persistent issues with History of the Jews in Poland and/or with other editors on that article, might I suggest that you ask the Mediation Cabal for assistance? -- ChrisO (talk) 21:26, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

DYK

On 31 July, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Military sociology, which you recently nominated. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

On 31 July, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Stages of growth model , which you recently nominated. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Students' DYKs

Hi Piotrus. I just wanted to say well done on the articles you got your students to write - I hope you'll pass on my congratulations for the DYKs to them. I know I was initially dubious about bending the five-day rule for them but the points raised by you and others at the DYK suggestions page changed my mind. In the end, if this motivates even one of them to stick around and become a serious contributor then everyone will have won out - and that's what DYK's for after all. Good luck with any future teaching you do using Misplaced Pages. Olaf Davis | Talk 09:58, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Mediation

Mediation Request Notification Hi Piotrus , A request for mediation was filed in regards to the article History_of_the_Jews_in_Poland. You have been listed as an involved party and I would like it if you would participate in our discussion. The goal of Mediation is to find a way to resolve issues such as content disputes. You can find the mediation page here. If you would like to participate please go to that page and state your acceptance and you views about the request. Thanks   «l| Ψrom3th3ăn ™|l»  (talk)

Your defamatory comments on 3RR

You wrote there that "Boody is convinced of his own self-righteousness and that Poles are evil." You should either provide serious evidence that I am convinced that "Poles are evil" or you should immediately refrain from making such defamatory and false characterizations of other editors. Once again, this is disturbing behavior on your part (specifically, publicly defaming another editor with false accusations of bigotry as a tactic in a content dispute) which reflects badly on your status as an admin. Boodlesthecat 15:51, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Boodlesthecat, wasn't it you who so gladly accepted an award for fighting a cabal of Polish chauvinists? Tymek (talk) 16:12, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Exactly. The evidence is obvious (, , , , , , , ... ). In any case, I have no intention of discussing anything with an editor whose idea of civil discourse is to sent others email with "you are a dick". EOT, per WP:DFTT.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 16:25, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Mediation Remarks

Those remarks dont make my job any easier, Dont forget that im a volunteer and that I dont have to help out, but I choose to. I would appreciate it if you played along and see where this goes. WP:WWJD   «l| Ψrom3th3ăn ™|l»  (talk) 16:44, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
