Central Europe

[edit]

Please look at the map of Europe. If Romania is not in Central Europe than neither Poland is. Marc KJH (talk) 16:20, 6 April 2008 (UTC) [reply]

You are right. they are both either in western Europe entirely (Poland) or southern Europe (Romania), taken the geographic centre of Europe into account. See below.--Martina Moreau (talk) 19:13, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Median Europe

[edit]

Hi, while I support the idea of creating the article, it should be prepared in a sandbox. For now, I'm nominating it for SD (just a title there). Pundit|utter 17:50, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Go ahead and write the article then :) Apparently, some users would prefer a redirect... Pundit|utter 18:26, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand your problems. If you refer to geographical region than is something useless. If you refer to culturally one, than you need to include more states. In either case Median Europe is not the solution. Marc KJH (talk) 18:27, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Median Europe

[edit]

An editor has nominated Median Europe, an article which you have created or worked on, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Median Europe and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 17:00, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A new task force under wikiproject Europe

[edit]

Hello,

I've noticed that you are active in the area of Europe. I just wanted to let you know that a European Space Agency task force has been set up to improve the presently very poor condition of articles about ESA and related topics. If you are interested, please join the task force here. We sure could use your help. Thanks.U5K0 (talk) 19:27, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Eastern Europe

[edit]

Hi Mont. I just added the sources mentioned in the discussion page re the view of the balkans as part of eastern europe.

It was not my intention to delete your work. But with the reference added, the balkans have their place in this article, just as the rest of the othe regions mentioned. It seem redundant to talk about the same countries in different parts of the article for the same topic.

I'll add the balkans as they were with the reference provided and maybe we can work out how to complete more this point. Regards --Arcillaroja (talk) 22:10, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I like the way you have rewritten the Southeastern Europe section. It shows an argumented view of how and why are these countries associated with Southern and Eastern Europe. Admiral Norton (talk) 14:43, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PC

[edit]

Hey, I once again moved your edit out of the first sentence of "Polish Corridor", because the information is already in the second sentence (and at least once in the body). The second sentence is in fact exclusively dealing with the Polish period and links Polish Crown as well as Royal Prussia. There is also a more detailed background in the history section. Please note that there is no dispute whether this territory had been Polish earlier - it had, and that is prominently mentioned. Yet it is somehow contentious to call it "originally" Polish as you put it (when is "originally" supposed to be? Ice Age? Germanic period? Veneti period? Pomeranian tribal period? Mieszko period? Samboride period? Brandenburg period? Teutonic knights' period?), and to delete "West Prussia" from the lead which was the immediate predecessor as a province and a widely known alternative name for the region. Please reconsider your edit, there is no need to get heated about the issue in question :). Skäpperöd (talk) 06:06, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Hornbook -- a new WP:Law task force for the J.D. curriculum

[edit]

Hi Montessquieu,

I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in United States legal articles to take a look at WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".

Our mission is to assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.

  • Over the course of a semester, each subpage will shift its focus to track the unfolding curriculum(s) for classes using that casebook around the country.
  • It will also feature an extensive, hyperlinked "index" or "outline" to that casebook, pointing to pages, headers, or {{anchors}} in Wikipedia (example).
  • Individual law schools can freely adapt our casebook outlines to the idiosyncratic curriculum devised by each individual professor.
  • I'm encouraging law students around the country to create local chapters of the club I'm starting at my own law school, "Student WP:Hornbook Editors". Using WP:Hornbook as our headquarters, we're hoping to create a study group so inclusive that nobody will dare not join.

What you can do now:

1. Add WP:Hornbook to your watchlist, {{User Hornbook}} to your userpage, and ~~~~ to Wikipedia:Hornbook/participants.
2. If you're a law student,
(You don't have to start the club, or even be involved in it; just help direct me to someone who might.)
3. Introduce yourself to me. Law editors on Wikipedia are a scarce commodity. Do knock on my talk page if there's an article you'd like help on.

Regards, Andrew Gradman talk/WP:Hornbook 20:02, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please help me with this anon vandal of the Central & Eastern Europe articles

[edit]

User 82.95.205.208 (Netherlands) has a history of vandalizing these articles' leads by deleting any sentences containing positive remarks about the region; this has been going on for a month. Seems that an administrator has acknowledged that the user is a vandal, but requested further personal warnings before banning: http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism&oldid=328270366 I know you're a constructive editor; please help me reverting/silencing him, thanks.

WikiProject Poland activity check

[edit]

We are doing another activity check on members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland. I've noticed that you have not been active in the Poland-related articles in the past few months (we define it as doing 10 or more Poland-related edits per month in the last three months period), and as such I took the liberty to adjust your position in our Participants list from active to semi-active. Please note that this is just a method of keeping track of how many editors are currently active on Poland-related topics. Feel free to move yourself back if you disagree with this, and/or comment on WT:POLAND. In case you are not aware of that, our project has many active discussions on its talk page, we also list Poland-related article news (hee), Poland-related new articles for review (hee), Poland-related articles in need of cleanup (here), a listing of most popula Poland-related articles (here), a portal (here), and other tools. If the activity incrases, we would like to implement other tools, such as project A-class reviews and a newsletter. We are looking forward to seeing you around more often! Take care, --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 21:30, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Monitor. WikiProject Poland Newsletter: Issue 1 (April 2011)

[edit]
WikiProject Poland Newsletter • April 2011
For our freedom and yours

Welcome to our first issue of WikiProject Poland newsletter, the Monitor (named after the first Polish newspaper).

Our Project has been operational since 1 June, 2005, and also serves as the Poland-related Wikipedia notice board. I highly recommend watchlisting the Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland page, so you can be aware of the ongoing discussions. We hope you will join us in them, if you haven't done so already! Unlike many other WikiProjects, we are quite active; in this year alone about 40 threads have been started on our discussion page, and we do a pretty good job at answering all issues raised.

In addition to a lively encyclopedic, Poland-related, English-language discussion forum, we have numerous useful tools that can be of use to you - and that you could help us maintain and develop:

This is not all; on our page you can find a list of useful templates (including userboxes), awards and other tools!

With all that said, how about you join our discussions at WT:POLAND? Surely, there must be something you could help others with, or perhaps you are in need of assistance yourself?

The User Arcillaroja

[edit]

Czesc, jestem Poleczka!!! Hi!,

I am Marina. I am writing to you in order to clarify my fears. One of the users have been reverting my edits on Western Europe, as well as other European-related issues. I noticed, that his or her page is full of talk page entries related just to that. Would you mind to stay in touch with me? I read about vandalism on Wikipedia and I fear this is one of these cases... I hope, of course that I am wrong but... the evidence seems to suggest otherwise. By evidence I mean Arcilla's talk page as well as entry, and the fact that rather than move a critical comment from user page to a talk page, it was simply reverted. --Martina Moreau (talk) 22:27, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Poland Newsletter • January 2014 • Issue II

[edit]
WikiProject Poland Newsletter • January 2014 • Issue II
For our freedom and yours

Welcome to the second issue of WikiProject Poland newsletter, the Monitor (named after the first Polish newspaper).

Our Project has been operational since 1 June, 2005, and also serves as the Poland-related Wikipedia notice board. I highly recommend watchlisting the Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland page, so you can be aware of the ongoing discussions. We hope you will join us in them, if you haven't done so already! Unlike many other WikiProjects, we are quite active; we get close to a hundred discussion threads each year and we do a pretty good job at answering all issues raised. Last year we were featured in the Signpost, and our interviewer was amazed at our activity. In the end, however, even as active as we are, we are just a tiny group - you can easily become one of our core members!

In addition to a lively encyclopedic, Poland-related, English-language discussion forum, we have numerous useful tools that can be of use to you - and that you could help us maintain and develop:

  • we have an active assessment department. As of now, our project has tagged almost 83,000 pages as Poland-related - that's an improvement of over 3,000 new pages since the last newsletter. Out of which 30 still need a quality assessment, and 2,000, importance assessment. We have done a lot to clear the backlog here (3 years ago those numbers were 1,500 and 20,000, respectively). Can you help assess a few pages?
    • assessing articles is as easy as filling in the class= and importance= parameters on the talk page in the {{WPPOLAND|class=|importance=}} template. See here for a how-to guide.
  • once an article has an assessment template, it will appear in our article alerts and news feed, which provides information on which Poland-related articles are considered for deletion, move, or are undergoing a Good or Featured review. Watchlisting that feed, in addition to watchlisting our project's main page, is a good way to make sure you stay up to date on most Poland-related discussions.
  • you can also see detailed deletion discussions at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Poland (which is a good place to watchlist if you just want to stay up to date on possible deletions of Poland-related content)
  • we have also begun B-class quality reviews on our talk page, and if our activity increases, hopefully we will be able to institute our own A-class quality reviews. As of now, we have about 500 C-class articles in need of a B-class review. If you'd like to help with them, instructions for doing B-class reviews are to be found in point 10 of our assessment FAQ. In addition to this automated list, you are also encouraged to help review articles from our B-class reviews requested list found here.
  • also, those articles will be included in our cleanup listing, which allows us to see which top-importance articles are in need for attention, and so on. We have tens of thousands articles in need of cleanup there, so if you ever need something to do, just look at this gigantic list. (I am currently reviewing the articles tagged with notability, either proving them notable or nominating for deletion; there are still several dozens left if you want to help!).
  • did you know that newly created Poland-related articles are listed here. They need to be reviewed, often cleaned-up, occasionally nominated for deletion, and their creators may need to be welcomed and invited to our project if they show promise as new authors of Poland-related content.
  • we are maintaining a Portal:Poland
  • automated Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland/Popular pages lists the most popular Poland-related pages from the previous month(s)
  • Breaking news: we are looking for a Wikipedian in Residence for the New York City area. See Wikipedia:GLAM/Józef Piłsudski Institute of America for details.

This is not all; on our page you can find a list of useful templates (including userboxes), awards and other tools!


With all that said, how about you join our discussions at WT:POLAND? Surely, there must be something you could help others with, or perhaps you are in need of assistance yourself?

It took me three years to finish this issue. Feel free to help out getting the next one before 2017 by being more active in WikiProject management :)
