Disambiguation link notification for March 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dutch. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi user Xx236, the Language section was heavily edited by user Italiano111, I just went in after to fix some of those changes. If you feel there there are still issues that need to be readjusted please do not hesitate to correct them. --E-960 (talk) 09:53, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

Nice work

Just wanted to drop by and say thanks for all the recent work you've put into the Poland article. It's a good step in removing the issues that often plague Polish topics on Misplaced Pages. --Samotny Wędrowiec (talk) 20:47, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi Samotny Wędrowiec, many thanks! I figured a bit of grammar fixing was in order. :D --E-960 (talk) 20:35, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Poland, GDP edits in lead

Hey

Just wanted to say: even before my lead edits, I noticed that you're regularly taking care of Poland, and I felt a bit bad editing without introducing myself on the talk page first, especially since it's a semi-protected article (but at least I tried to explain what I was doing in the edit summary). Thanks for not taking it the wrong way, as it sometimes can happen if some edits come out of nowhere :)

Minvogt, many thanks for catching the inaccurate statistics and overstatements, I've been trying to sift through the article text for some time now, picking out things like that. --E-960 (talk) 12:01, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

German Language map

Hi, concerning your cancelation about the map on german dialects, there are no territorial claims, this are the places where German is recognised as a minority language (see German language article), furthermore the previous map was more accurate in term of dialect and widespread use. But I have to agree on the fact that I would personally prefer a map just covering the present day political borders of Germany especially in an article about.. Germany :) For instance, nowadays very few people speak alsatian in Alsace, and the French-Dutch dialect in Flandre is almost close to noth... and it is confusing to talk about german language and see a map of Netherlands as well. The map that you put is confusing since it is about the Germanic dialects and not about the german dialects --Gabriel HM (talk) 10:49, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

It takes a slight extra effort, but in the long run makes sense.--Quisqualis (talk) 19:11, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

Quisqualis, can you clarify what you had in mind, it just takes a slight extra effort. --E-960 (talk) 17:15, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Note

Pls notice all the purported German "speaking areas" in modern Poland, Czech Rep. and Kaliningrad Russia (a completely false depiction)

Now, pls notice how a second map shows the same subject matter, yet is very different in the claims it makes

Greater German Reich in 1944

"Germanic Peoples" as presented in a German atlas from 2001

I noticed you've been removing Germanic dialects ca. AD 1 from a lot of pages (Netherlands, Germanic peoples, Old English, Old Dutch, Dutch language, English language, Frankish language, Elbe Germanic peoples), often replacing it with Archeological cultures in Northern and Central Europe at the late pre-Roman Iron Age.png or Old norse, ca 900. You sometimes marked this as a "minor edit". I'd really advise first discussing such things patiently before radically changing long-standing stable versions of this many articles. I don't have any strong feelings one way or another but the fact that the maps have been mostly stable so far means the burden lies with you. Linguistic maps are also not the same as culture maps, which typically denote where certain similarities in archeological findings were made. Please also remember Misplaced Pages is not a battleground or soapbox. Nearly all of your edits seem to be to articles about Poland, some of them being mass deletions of sourced information without much of an explanation. Reverting two different users to reinsert your own edit 5 times before establishing consensus (thus going against WP:BRD) and then templating one of these users for edit warring is way out of line. Prinsgezinde (talk) 15:31, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

Prinsgezinde, hello, yes I noticed that there is a bit of POV pushing on these topics. The map of the "Germanic dialects" oddly matches old Nazi boundaries of Greater Germany, and yet, it is impossible to create such definitive borders of "old Germanic" dialects because there is no written record of them and the identity of some of the groups is debated (archeological findings do not support such definitive and clear cut boundaries as the map proposes), yet the boundaries that map proposes look a lot like modern national borders, even though archeological data supports the theory that the lands may have been inhabited by passing or mixed ethnic groups at the same time (many of the sources confirm just that). Finally, please notice that on some of the more important articles such as English Language, Old English or Netherlands I did initiate a talk section, apologies for any poorly marked edits. --E-960 (talk) 18:09, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

Also, Prinsgezinde, please note that on the talk page for the Slavs article, three other editors agreed with the points I raised that the text was off topic, Iryna Harpy, Jirka.h23, and filelakeshoe. So, again in this case there was a debate on the issue. --E-960 (talk) 18:12, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

Btw, here are some other maps that show un-true fake ideas/concepts (no reference sources provided), which could be described as 'suggesting old pro-German views', and trying to justify territorial claims in places like modern Poland or the Czech Republic: and --E-960 (talk) 22:11, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
