The White Eagle

What ho. I see you are an eager and active Wikipedia fan. Just wanted to say that the White Eagle might not be a common personification of Poland but it certainly was used as its symbol by various poets and writers- therefore I have taken the liberty to place it as such. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hoodinski (talk • contribs)

Maps

Hi Kpalion, hope your thesis is going ok.

I noticed you created Image:Location-Pol-Lith-Commonwealth.png, so I was wondering if, when you get a chance, you could do the same for the following years: 1025, 1138, 1320, and 1370. I want to add those maps to some of the articles in Template:Polish statehood. Appleseed (Talk) 18:23, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Saint Metrophanes

Hi there. As one of the participants in the Saints WikiProject could you perhaps take a look at Saint Metrophanes. There are contradictions on the page and I haven't been able to find a good solid source to base a factual article on in my admittedly rather quick web search. I have no special knowledge of this subject and only came to the article in order to fix a dead external link but had to stay around to clear up some of the mess. Can you help? --Spondoolicks 12:25, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

St John Bosco

There has been some additions to the John Bosco page saying he was a closest homosexual or pederast. This is not NPOV.

Do you agree?evrik 23:23, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Preventing an edit war on the saints

It was the established operation of the WikiProject Saints to have a section in the info box on a sample prayer. Some editors have been recently been attacking this in the individual articles.

It is my belief that prayers in a literary or historic context are NPOV. I can understand that some may consider the inclusion of a prayer to be hagiographic, but freedom of religion is not freedom from religion.

There is a 3RR about to happen on a number of these articles. I am trying to be philosophical about this, but don’t want to yield the point when what is happening goes against the consensus and borders on vandalism.

It is my understanding that if an editing disagreement occurs that the status quo, in this case leaving the prayers in place, holds until it is resolved. I encourage you to comment on this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Saints. I have posted my thoughts at the village pump.

Is it posible to redraw that on a world map. It doesnt show US and Canda and parts of Turkey is cut. Location of Turkey to Iraq, Afganistan Russia (USSR) is important in my view and was one of the reasons why Turkey was granted membership. --Cat out 15:48, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

An image you uploaded, Image:Lodomeria coa.jpg, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 01:24, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

License of commons:Image:Order_of_Smile.png

Hi Kpalion. You uploaded the commons:Image:Order_of_Smile.png and marked it as public domain. I created a SVG-Version from it commons:Image:Order_of_Smile.svg. Currently there is a discussion on deleting both images, since there arose doubts about the PD-state. Can you submit any information to clear this question? Thanks for any hint! -- Dr. George 08:47, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Note: I fixed links to link directly to the image (less confusing). Bawolff 09:30, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi Kpalion, sorry for beeing so persistent. I saw you where active the last days but you did not react on my question. If you don't have any information about the copyright status of the above picture this would also be a valuable information. Thanks! -- Dr. George 08:53, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Polish cochineal

Hi, Kpalion. I just wanted to thank you for all the work you've done on Polish cochineal. I recently happened upon the article and was delighted by the wealth of information and the quality of the writing and presentation. It certainly deserves at least GA status. Thanks for your effort and your time. Tesseran 07:01, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Kpalion - thanks for your message re the article on the Polish cochineal. Glad to have been of help! --January2007 09:52, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

User Page reconstruction

Hello, I have just noticed the tag on your user page. How would you like your page improved? I may be able to create a personally designed page for you. For further discussion, you can go to my talk page. Many thanks, Extranet (Talk | Contribs) 08:25, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I would recommend a navigation menu like mine but edited a bit to make it look non-copied. I will construct one, and post a link if you're happy with the idea. Extranet (Talk | Contribs) 20:59, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I will get back to you tomorrow with the completed navigation box. Extranet (Talk | Contribs) 21:28, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
A few things. For personalisation, what country do you currently reside in? For creativity, what is your favourite colour? Please get back to me ASAP so I can complete your new navigation menu. Extranet (Talk | Contribs) 07:25, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
I have just completed it and it can be viewed at User:Kpalion/Head and if you do decide to use it, simply add {{User:Kpalion/Head}} to the top of your user and talk pages. This does help instead of always looking for that other page. I hope you like it, but until then, I have just removed the improvement tag. If you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate in contacting me. Kind regards, Extranet (Talk | Contribs) 09:58, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
What did you have in mind? Extranet (Talk | Contribs) 10:20, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I will try to create one over the next few days and I will get back to you. Extranet (Talk | Contribs) 21:51, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
I strongly apologise as my main computer has just crashed and I will be unable to make the user page construction at this point in time. When it is fixed, I will create it ASAP for you. Extranet (Talk | Contribs) 06:11, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

About Polish clans, Polish families and Polish coats of arms

Dear friends:

If you have some extra time, I would appreciate if you can take a look to Category:Coats of arms of clans of Poland and Category:Polish nobility coats of arms images, mainly the Talk pages.

There is an Italian wikipedian, who knows nothing about Polish history and Polish szlachta and he is rearranging the categories in Category:Coats of arms of Poland

In commons he is User:G.dallorto

My point of view may have some mistakes but I would thank you very much your thought and your discussion on this issue.

As today I got few time I am sending this same message to:

If you know somebody else interested in Polish heraldry and Polish szlachta, please invite him to join this Discussion.

Best regards, my friends, and thank you by your answer to this request. --Gustavo 08:14, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for creating the Saints Project

The project was recently given an award as a group, something I don't think happens very often. As the founder of the project, I think a lot of the credit goes to you. So, I hope on the behalf of the rest of the project, I think you personally deserve this:

Little context in Talk:Żubrówka

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Talk:Żubrówka, by Mieciu K, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Talk:Żubrówka is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Talk:Żubrówka, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Talk:Żubrówka itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 19:32, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

res publica

Rendering "res publica" as "public affair" has much less sense, the compound is effectively and regularly used in the sense of "the state" by Roman writers in reference to their state (either to the republic or the empire), and this is the meaning rendered in Polish as "Rzeczpospolita". I never met "res publica" in the meaning alleged in the article, because for "public affairs" the plural form is used. So? 193.0.79.15 11:51, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:Smoking jacket.png

Hello,

I am a little bit surprised by the licence for Image:Smoking jacket.png: "life of the author plus 70 years" suggests that the author of this photograph died at most in 1937, and the colour rendition is not consistant with the colour films of the era. Also, no source is provided. Could you have a look at this, please ? Thank you very much in advance ! Rama 13:55, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I simply used the same license tag that was in Macedonian Wikipedia, which is where I took this image from. There was no source provided there either. Anyway, I'm not sure if this is a photograph at all, it looks like a drawing or painting to me, so it's still possible that the author died more than 70 years ago. — Kpalion(talk) 15:16, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
It doesn't look much like a painting. I am a little bit worried that someone on the Macedonian wiki might not have a very thourough understanding of copyright and have uploaded this image from Cthulhu knows where, put the a tag he though would fit, and that the error propagates itself from wiki to wiki. Rama 16:30, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
That's possible of course. However, the user who uploaded the image in Macedonian WP, Bjankuloski06en is an admin there, so he should have some understanding of copyright. I suggest that you contact him directly; he does speak English. — Kpalion(talk) 17:48, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Looks good, but I'd like to encourage you to write at least stubs, in not full-fledged articles, on all the new red links, before you finalize your project. I'd like to see where you're going with all those links and I'm sure other editors would like to see it too. Cheers. --Poeticbent talk 19:07, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
