Template:Monarchs of Poland changes

Somebody want to verify the changes made to {{Monarchs of Poland}} by new editor Trybald (talk · contribs). --Bamyers99 (talk) 20:21, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Otton Steinborn

Hello, surfing through some articles I came across Otton Steinborn, which looks like a very interesting Polish biography. However, I don't speak Polish, so am notifying here incase someone in this project is interested in this topic. Cleanup of redundant and slightly NPOV information, a better Polish -> English translation and more sources would be very useful for this article. I searched for additional sources in the Internet and already added a Polish-language link as external link (disclaimer: I do not know, if the article's text has been translated from this site by the contributing IP editor or if the site is reliable to begin with).

2015 Knurów riots

Hello, I made a page about the recent murder of the Concordia fan at a football match and the subsequent 2015 Knurów riots, if anyone would like to expand the article please I would more than welcome it.Abcmaxx (talk) 18:59, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

murder? Xx236 (talk) 07:08, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Yes, it's quite disconcerting to see such obvious POV-pushing even in talk pages (note: the word "murder" was never used in the article in question, which doesn't mean it doesn't suffer from POV issues). — Kpalion 14:19, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Well an unarmed man was shot in the head and killed, and that is the definition of murder, unless proven that the man holding the rifle did not intend to kill and has done so accidentally, in which case it is manslaughter. Abcmaxx (talk) 18:10, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

• Another Misplaced Pages POV nightmare. Please remember to mention in the blurb, what is being made crystal clear in the Polish media reports, that the police were shooting only rubber bullets ... maybe a dozen in total, using riot guns. Selection of reports is available at YouTube. Poeticbent talk 19:15, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Video on YouTube. – The clip shows a man right after he was shot by the rubber bullet. He wears a white hoodie and jeans, and walks back with another guy, blood stain on his chest at 1:18 - 1:26. The next take, at 1:28 shows him already lying on the field. He lost consciousness. At 2:23 - 2:50 we can see police medic trying to resuscitate him, unsuccessfully. Poeticbent talk 20:05, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

A masked man was running towards and tossing things at a row of armed riot police. To anybody with a bit of common sense, that's the definition of suicide by cop. — Kpalion 20:59, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

And you accused me of being POV!! Pitch invasion now = suicide by cop?! What next, unpaid parking ticket = reckless driving? I cannot see anything being thrown by the man that got shot, I saw in total 1 object thrown and that wasn't even at the police. To anybody with common sense that is police interfering with unreasonable force in an internal disagreement between 2 groups of fans. Abcmaxx (talk) 21:48, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Lech Wałęsa

what is this meant to be? In ictu oculi (talk) 22:53, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

Editor is insisting on adding what looks like a mispronunciation as a pronunciation. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:06, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

I see several past attempts as well by more than 1 editor. But I don't see any discussion to not follow normal BLP practice and have what the article used to have Lech Wałęsa (IPA:About this sound (help·info); born September 29, 1943). Do we really need "English pronunciation variants" for Polish bios? In ictu oculi (talk) 01:15, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Yes, we do. "When a foreign name has a set English pronunciation (or pronunciations), include both the English and foreign-language pronunciations; the English transcription must always be first. If the native name is different from the English name, the native transcription must appear after the native name." (Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style/Pronunciation #Foreign names) But it would be good to cite a source (like this one). — Kpalion 07:35, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
