Thank you for your Poland-related contributions[edit]
I just found the article Tadeusz Chyliński and I saw that you had begun the work. It would also require a finish. Care to do it? --MoRsE 20:04, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Panie Belissarius, napisalem ten artykul jako czesc serii o zabytkowych kosciolach zalozone jako 'polskie' parafie w Chicago w anglojezycznej wikipedii. Jest to wazne z tegoz wlasnie powodu ze sa one czesto pod niebezbieczenstwem zamkniecia lub nawet czasem i zburzenia. Dzieje sie to z przyczyn przemieszczenia sie polskojezycznej ludnosci na inne czesci aglomeracji miejskiej, wysoki koszt ich utrzymania i wtapiania potomkow ich zalozycieli w ogolnym amerykanskim spoleczenstwie. Zachecam do przejrzenia artykulu pt. "Polish Cathedral" ktorym jest cala seria moich artykulow na ten temat----Orestek 17:53, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Czesc Belissarius, z tej strony klania sie Orestek. Jeste czlonkiem zarzadu towarzystwa historycznego Jefferson Park, i organizujemy wyklad Polsko-Amerykanskiego Profesora Dominika Pacygi. Napisal sporo ciekaych ksiazek, z ktorych najwybitniejsza jest o polskich robotnikach na poludniu miasta, a takze wykladal przez semestr na uniwersytecie w Oksfordzie. Choc wyklad bedzie w jezyku angielskim, chcielismy wypromowac spotkanie takze wsrod polonii. Napisalem pare emaili do Dziennika Zwiazkowego oraz Kuriera Codziennego, ale bez odpowiedzi. Ponownie wyslalem je dzisiaj na twoja skrzynke oraz redakji Dziennika.
Dzieki za pomoc!--Orestek (talk) 18:08, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Dzien Dobry Bellissarius,
Z tej strony znow klania sie Orestek. Mam nadzieje ze pan sie nieco wyzdrowial po tragicznym wypadku w zeszlym roku. Zwracam sie do ciebie Bellisarius bo pisze historie dla serii wydawniczej "Images of America" nt. ulicy Milwaukee w Chicago w jez. Angielskim. Sa to ksiazki ktore historie sa opowiadane poprzez starych czarno-bialych zdjec dobrej jakosci. Pare lat temu pani Victoria Granacka napisala ksiazka z tej serii pt "Chicago's Polish Downtown", a moja pierwsza ksiazka z tej serii o dzielnicy Portage Park wyjdzie pod koniec czerwca. Chcialbym w tej historii o ulicy Milwaukee pokazac o polskosci tejze ulicy ale wymagania serii sa takie ze potrzebne sa do tego stare zdjecia. Czy jest mozliwosc skorzystania z archiwow Dziennika Zwiazkowego lub pracownikow gazety? Na przyklad w ksiazce pana Bialasiewicza pt "W kregu chicagowskiej Polonii" na stronie 592 jest przepiekne zdjecie restauracji pana Lenarda przy 1166 N. Milwaukee przy takim zdjeciu moge napisac troche o historii panstwa Lenardow jako dzialaczy polonijnych. Wymagania wydawcy na jakosc zdjec do tej serii jest surowa, ale za to jest bardzo popularna na rynku amerykanskim. Dziekuje za wszelka pomoc w tej sprawie--Orestek (talk) 20:40, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Belissarius, I am working on the Pope John Paul II article in order to improve it and raise it to ‘Good Article’ and hopefully ‘Featured Article’ status. The article is currently at Peer Review So, I though I would invite you to take a look. Any help to improve the article would be much appreciated. Best Regards Marek.69 talk 03:44, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the quick response. No hurry with this, whenever you have some time will be great. :-) Marek.69 talk 04:25, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We are now dividing our members into active, semi-active (have not edited a Poland-related article in more then three months) and inactive (have not edited at all for three months or more). You have not been active on Wikipedia in the past month and I see you've not edited any Poland-related articles in in several months; we are moving you to semi-active members category. Please consider participating in our project activities again in the future, we would love to work more closely with you again! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 18:26, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ja tez niekiedy pisze cos na pl wiki, ale wydaje mi sie, ze pisanie na en wiki jest pozyteczniejsze - raz, bo edukuje sie swiat o Polsce, dwa, bo en wiki lepiej pokorywa nie-polskie tematy, i mozna wspolpracowac z nie-polskimi edytorami... :) Wiec od czasu do czasu bede staral sie ciebie zrekrutwac na en wiki, zwlaszcza ze jest wielu edytorow piszacych o Polsce po polsku, ale niewielu potrafi dobrze pisac po angielsku - dlatego mamy tak malo edytorow na en wiki... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 00:05, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Osobiscie nie jestem zwolennikiem brudnopisow do pisania artykulow (ja uzywam mojego jako notatnika). Za czesto zdarza sie, ze edytorzy nie skoncza pracy i na pol gotowy artykul jest zapomniany dopoki ktos go nie odkryje i nie przeniesie do mainspace, gdzie czesto trzeba go polaczayc z tym co juz ktos inny napisal. Ja wole pisac w mainspace, w koncu wedlug definicji projekty wszystkie artykulu to szkice "w trakcie". --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 05:26, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dzien dobry i witam Pana w Angielskiej Wiki. Mam mala prosbe i moze Pan by mogl mi w tym pomoc. Probuje zrobic cos pozadnego z artykulem o Ekonomicznym traktacie Kopernika Monetae cudendae ratio i nie moge nic znalezc jako ten tytul pracy przetlumaczyc dokladnie z Laciny na Polski a wlasciwie na Angielski. Z tego co znalazlem to zazwyczaj to sie tlumaczy na "O Monecia" albo cos w tym rodzaju ale to nie jest zbyt dokladne (podobnie tlumaczenia na Angielski tez sa wymyslone z nikad). W slownikach Lacinsko-Polskich albo Lacinsko-Angielski nie moge znalezc slowa "cudendae" ale to wyglada na cos w rodzaju "Jak Bic Monete" itp. Zauwazylem, ze Pan ma znaczek "la-2" wiec pomyslalem, ze moze Pan by mogl mi w tym pomoc. Jak to wlasciwie przetlumaczyc na Polski albo Angielski? Dziekuje z gory.radek (talk) 07:42, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Przetlumaczylem Konopke z Polskiej Wiki i dodalem to i owo ze znalazionego w sieci. Poprawki, dodatki, uzupelnienia itp. mile widziane. Takze, nie wiem czy zajscie pod Slonimem w ktorym Konopka byl wziety do niewoli to "Bitwa" albo "Potyczka" ale w tej ksiazce Nawrota - [1] - jest dosc szczegolowy opis wiec moze by warto zrobic z tego artykul.radek (talk) 04:14, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes! I saw some of that - his capture seemed strange even to the Russian general that got him, and then before that there is the mess up at Battle of Yevenes you wrote about which looks very much like what happened at Slonim. Nawrot goes into that in the footnotes to some extent ( for example pg. 632, footnote 26). It seems Konopka claimed he was betrayed while Czaplic ... the online version cuts off but I'm guessing it says "Czaplic posadzal generala chyba... o pijanstwo" or something like that. Please take your time.radek (talk) 05:23, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment has a nice table. What's practical to know is this: FA and GA articles need to go through a review; other classes are usually assigned by any interested editor, however the most active projects have their own teams which make B-class assessments as well. WP:MILHIST for example is one of those projects; unfortunately WP:POLAND is not - I've proposed creating our own B-class review section twice, and never got a single reply :( Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment may offer you more advice, feel free to ask questions on their talk page too. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 18:23, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
DYK nomination of Polish 1st Light Cavalry Regiment of the Imperial Guard[edit]
I can't find the hook fact for your Battles of Medieval Poland nomination at DYK. If the fact's already there, can you show me where it is? Otherwise, please add it in to the article with an inline citation. Thanks, Shubinator (talk) 02:52, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Nie znam go wiec nie wiem (chodz duzo tego wsadzil). Some editors are really strict on everything having citations, much more so than on Polish wiki. I think the guideline is different too - on Polish wiki it's just a "suggestion", here it's more or less required for any B class and above article. It's probably a way of being helpful. I'll try to find some online sources too (those tend to be more gladly seen because they can be easily verified).radek (talk) 04:55, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really understand what made you unhappy? If you resubmit Polish 1st Light Cavalry Regiment of the Imperial Guard, it should be rated as B-class easily, and GA/A-class likely. Battles of Medieval Poland is probably good enough for B-class, may need a few more refs for GA/A-class. Overall, I think you are doing an excellent job, but I will stress the importance of inline citations - the fact that other encyclopedias don't have them simply means that they are less useful, and this is one of the reasons Wikipedia is in the process of replacing them. And certainly, your articles and contributions are much welcome here. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 06:33, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Polish 1st Light Cavalry Regiment of the Imperial Guard[edit]
I actually don't know the details since I never tried to get any of mine up to GA. Piotrus is probably the expert here. But I think you would nominate it over at GA/History: [2] (I'm not sure if Military History does this separately). Then a bunch of people will complain about lots of things that you'll think they shouldn't be complaining about. Then it will be a bit more work. Then more complaining. Then more work again. And then hopefully it will make it. It actually doesn't seem that different than publishing in journals.
In terms of the criteria for this particular article the two potential problems I anticipate is that in some places the English prose can still be improved - though this would be just one more over all copy edit or so - and maybe more concern about the citations. In particular the fact that lots of them come from the same, offline, Polish source - Brandys, Kozietulski (for below GA class reviewers will often take this on good faith but it's a big jump from B-class to GA). It'll probably be necessary to look for at least some English language sources (online would be better) that can back up some of the B&K, even it's just for some of the mundane stuff. I'll keep an eye on it and do some more copy edits and look for sources after the weekend.radek (talk) 09:07, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The review has not yet started. Anybody is can review the article and leave comments. You are on the right track leaving comments about what needs to be improved, I'd suggest expanding them with other things you mentioned on my talk page and being active in the discussion. When a Good Article Reviewer appears, he should review the discussion, and if he doesn't, and there are still unresolved issues, you should point them out to him. PS. Your articles have never qualified for Good Article because nobody has ever nominated them (usually it is the creator who does that, the instructions are at WP:GAC - let me know if they are not clear). Two of your articles (this and this) have passed MILHIST B-class review and could be good GA candidates. This article failed criterion one, you may want to ask the reviewer why (I don't see anything particularly wrong with the references). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 18:19, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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:
once an article is assessed 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.
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
newly created Poland-related articles are listed here. They need to be reviewed, often cleaned-up, and its creators may need to be welcomed and invited to our project
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?

I see you were a major contributor to this article. I am afraid currently it should be delisted as B-class (see rationale at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Military_history/Assessment/Requests#Requests_for_assessment], primary issue is insufficient referencing), but perhaps you'd like to make some edits to address those issues? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 15:48, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Assistance request neutrality dispute Haller's Blue Army (Poland) page[edit]
Hello, to resolve an ongoing neutrality dispute on the Blue Army (Poland) page, I'm requesting any assistance possible from experienced Wikipedia editors to look at the 'Controversies' section of the Blue Army page, and review the text for possible bias. I'm not an seasoned Wikipedia contributor myself, in fact I don't really edit much at all. But, when I came across the Blue Army page, I was taken aback by the blunt and inaccurate way in which the subject matter was portrayed! The list of possible neutrality violations is extensive, and due to my novice editor status all my past attempts to modify the text have been dismissed as being disruptive, and subsequently reversed:
Possible neutrality issues found on the Blue Army (Poland) 'Controversies' section:
Neutrality Tag is constantly being taken down without reaching a final consensus on the subject matter. Weasel word are used to create an overall exaggerated impression of the events in question, and others are used to cast doubt on anything reported by the Polish side as being legitimate. POV and the use of questionable secondary source references, which contradict primary source accounts of the events. In this case the investigation conducted by the United States envoy to PolandHugh S. Gibson and his subsequent State Department report on the issue. The American envoy found that: many of the newspaper reports alleging antisemitism were planted by the German and Soviet governments, and had been inflated or even based on hearsay and confabulation. Also, the envoy reported that many of the "pogroms" were in fact food riots, where an even larger number of Christian shops were ransacked. Undue Weight specific events are taken out of context, such as: abuse of civilians during the military campaign by the Blue Army troops is automatically labeled as antisemitic. Thus, taken out of context, when in fact looting was not only restricted to jewish households.
In the end, I understand that this is a difficult subject matter, and that some of the troops did engage in open antisemitism. But, by breaking the above listed neutrality rules, the editor (Faustian) who wrote much of the section, is creating a false picture of the Blue Army, in which the reader comes away with the bias impression that "Pogroming" is the only thing the Blue Army did.
Again, for a quick snapshot of the primary source's account of the events, please see the United States envoy Hugh S. Gibson Wikipedia page. And, thank you for any assistance in this matter. --68.191.79.36 (talk) 22:17, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Otóż dowiedziałem się właśnie przed chwilą prywatnie od użytkownika Pharaosa, że niebawem, 26 października, odbędzie się spotkanie amatorów historii wojskowej i militariów w bibliotece Pritzker, w dzielnicy Loop. Sam nie wiem czy się stawię, ale ośmioro amerykańskich wikipedystów (nie znam pośród nich nikogo), w tym użytkownik Kirill podróżujący w tym celu z Dystryktu Kolumbii, już się zapisali. Wiem, jak bardzo Cię interesuje historia wojska polskiego, toteż pozwalam sobie na tę notkę. Serdecznie pozdrawiam, --Mareklugtalk 05:36, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
WikiProject Military history coordinator election[edit]
Greetings from WikiProject Military history! As a member of the project, you are invited to take part in our annual project coordinator election, which will determine our coordinators for the next twelve months. If you wish to cast a vote, please do so on the election page by 23:59 (UTC) on 28 September! Kirill[talk] 18:01, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You have declared "User en-5" in Polish Wiki and en-4 here.
Was it intentional? Double standard?
How about en-5 here? Would it sound too serious? ;-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.193.225.174 (talk) 23:43, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
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.
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 :)
Disambiguation link notification for February 1[edit]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kaszanka, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hungarian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Jestem Panu wdzięczny za odpowiedź wyrażającą chęć pomocy wikipedystycznej ambitnemu narwańcowi co sobie "chapnął" tłumaczenie z Polskich tekstów mnie bliżej nieznanych artykułu Wikipedii angielskiej o pałacu w Otwocku.. Właśnie śpieszę donieść Panu osobiście, że ciut poprawiłem po nim: Palace in Otwock Wielki.
Ale ja do Pana piszę w raczej w zupełnie innej sprawie: otóż ktoś trzeci zorganizował aż dwa spotania wikipediowe w miesiącu kwietniu w naszym Chicago, w tym kolejne w Bibliotece Militariów i Muzeum Pritzker.
Pozwalam sobie przytoczyć verbatim ogłoszenie skierowane ku mojej stronie użytkownika na angielskiej Wikipedii,które zakładam z rzutu okiem na stronę, niestety Pana ominęło. Zobowiązałem się samemu zawitać na oba spotkania. Mam nadzieję, że Pan będzie w stanie dołączyć do grona.
Łączę wyrazy szczególnego szacunku dla Pana oraz Pańskiego wkładu w rozwój naszych obu Wikipedii,
Cordialement,

== Two Chicago edit-a-thons this April! ==
Hey folks! We've got two exciting edit-a-thons happening in Chicago during the third week of April:
If you're interested in meeting up and working together with other Wikipedians at these fantastic institutions, please RSVP at the event pages linked above. If you know someone else interested in learning about or editing Wikipedia, invite them! We will provide training and resources for new editors at both events. For questions about the events, please refer to the event pages or contact I JethroBT (talk·contribs). MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 23:16, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
I signed up for both --Mareklugtalk 09:51, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
Dzięki za powiadomienie i ciepłe słowa...
No, to wspaniale. Ja się zapisałem do stałej pomocy u Pritzkera, a ponieważ my będziemy w styczności, to i Pan będzie au courant w temacie co tam się wykluwa wikipedystycznie. A poza tym służę własnym pojazdem, jak tylko zrobię modicum porządku we wnętrzu. ;) Zo rychłego zobaczenia. Pozdrawiam cieplutko w środku nocy. -̴Mareklugtalk 05:43, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The user page interwiki link connects solely to the user page (pl:Wikipedysta:Belissarius) in Polish Wikipedia, but the Polish Wiki's user page connects to the user page in English Wikipedia as well as to the user page (la:Usor:Belissarius) in Latin Wikipedia (created by Belissarius in August 2009). The Latin Wikipedia user page also connects to the user page in both English Wikipedia and Polish Wikipedia. Apparently, some technical issue is preventing the interlink from Latin Wikipedia's user page from appearing in English Wikipedia and, hopefully, it can be resolved. —Roman Spinner(talk)(contribs) 17:00, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
He has helped out by writing some Polish articles on American subjects, and he encouraged me to get pictures for the Hamtramck Public Schools article (Hamtramck is a city in Michigan, next to Detroit, that was historically Polish). In am very grateful he translated the article to pl:Szkoły publiczne w HamtramckWhisperToMe (talk) 03:13, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
