DYK for Rumcajs

On 9 January 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Rumcajs, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Czech fictional outlaw Rumcajs was so popular in Poland that a brand of detergent was named after his son? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Rumcajs. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Rumcajs), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi,

As for Science fiction: I'm definitely interested in reading sci-fi, but I'm not that proficient with wikitext to create complex navboxes.)) I guess that the current box looks complex but still understandable. I have just added several items to it.

Raróg and CD Projekt logo -- new evidence

Hi! Back in 2018 (User_talk:Staszek_Lem/Archive_6#Raróg_and_CD_Projekt_Logo) we discussed your removal of my mention of Raróg as CD Projekt RED logo, claiming that the article naming Raróg "podstawą nowej identyfikacji wizualnej studia" ("the basis for the studio's new visual identification") published on their own site was written by a person whose opinion did not reflect the band's opinion. (Which is odd, why would they publish wrong info about their logo on the site they own?) I did not want to fight on it longer, but today I've found new evidence: a tweet published by the studio's official profile naming their bird Raróg: https://twitter.com/cdprojektred/status/1103673666028650497

Combining both the article on the studio's official site whose author you accuse of mistake without actual proof and this tweet on their official Twitter profile, I think it's identification is no longer in question. It is a northern cardinal, yes, but it is a raróg too. SMiki55 (talk) 20:06, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

@SMiki55: No, it is not Rarog. It is Project RED's vision of Rarog. I restored the text in question and fixed it properly. Staszek Lem (talk) 20:39, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

Polish invasion of Russia

Moved to article talk page. Staszek Lem (talk) 20:00, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

grammar

Hi Staszek, you have reverted an edit of mine which corrected three points of grammar and style, so I hope you will consider what I write here. This was the text that you have reinstated: "a 2018 find of a yet another lost Lem's work". First, you've got two indefinite articles, "a ... an". Perhaps you can do that in Slavic languages, but you can't in English: "*he's a an idiot". Secondly you have "a lost Lem's work", i.e. you have Lem as a genitive substantive. But Lem here, though a noun, is adjectival and adjectives in English do not decline, i.e. they never reflect gender, number or case. Thus "a horserace" or "horseraces" and "a Shakespeare play". Perhaps in a Slavic language horse would be plural and Shakespeare genitive, but not in English.

The third point concerns "yet another" and is a question of exophora. Your "yet another" refers to things that are not contained in the text and which the reader has no way of knowing about, and which may even not be true. Yes, The Hunt is linked to, so that's "another", but "yet another" means there are more rediscovered works, so that's exophoric and needs to be given a context.

So thank you for adding content to the English Wikipedia, but please be willing to defer on points of language to native speakers. I note that there are a lot of stylistic issues in articles related to this one, but I have no interest in checking to see who is responsible. If you feel you would like mentoring on any content you are adding, then I'm happy to help. Spicemix (talk) 09:44, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

@Spicemix: Thank you for keeping an eye on the grammar, which is rather thankless gnomish work. In this particular case I am afraid you are mistaken: "yet another" refers to the third "lost" work. Please search the article for the word "another".
Where do you see two indefinite articles? "a ... another" is definitely my problem
I do not see the change "Lem's work" into "Lem work" as necessary, removal of the article 'a' would do. If you are willing to point me at the particular English grammar rule, I will be grateful.
And no, I will not uncritically defer English to native speakers. I understand that some noinsence may slip thru my keyboard because I do not have an automatic language instinct, but in my 40 years I've seen plenty of nonsense "copyedited" into my software manuals by native speakers. Even better: I have an example right in this article.
Once again, I do respect your work, but in this particular case my objection was the incorrect change of the meaning ("yet another").
In the future, please discuss article content in article talk pages. Staszek Lem (talk) 20:19, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Danielewicz

Hi,

How in earth could You tranfer of name Danielewicz to Danielwicz family? Hey, are you out of Your mind? There is no ONE Danielewicz family, there are dozen of them and by "Danielewicz" we give shelter for all of them. I will revert this and if there will be any issue later i will bring it all on the Board. Second, before changing, You should first write the Author and ask, communicate. Instead, what You did was vandalizm. Shall I then report You for vandalizm? I think most of the society on Wiki would agree. Then, I sipmly ask to to stop doing stupid things. Only that. Dont do anything that is far of Your knowledge. In this, Im feel very diplopatic what I write. I then kindly ask You to revert what You did and then we can enjoy life and also help each other in subject when we can? Camdan (talk) 02:32, September 2020 (UTC)

  • Ok, now I will report this action. You have no right to change anything without communicating first with the author of the art. Learn the rules and stop messing with others work. Mind the WP:3RR rules. Camdan (talk) 10:10, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
  • Please discuss articles in article talk pages. Staszek Lem (talk) 16:03, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
    • First, I have to appogy for what I wrote above - I was just "pissed off" that You did not notify me before changing. Neverless, i would like to forward some thoughts here on Your page as I understand that You are familiar with Polish language. In my opinion, we should cooperate by using specific knowledge that You have and I also possess. Instead of wasting time, we could help each other. I can support You with any scientific issue in the field that I can say about and that can be confirmed by best scolars, professors. I will be soon back on en:wiki translating from pl:wiki - even if You are not so familair with subject, You can help a lot. My answer on subject we discuss might be hard but it is also adequate to what You wrote. Lets be friends and support each other. I think that is the best we can do. I see that what Your posts is very good, then in such issues that You are really good at, I would be very gratefull for Your support, i will need it on with future art. In subjects where I spend so much time with scolars, please trust me that I can back You up with statements of professors or scolars. We can back up each other, knowing different issues and to support - and its truely so I feel. Why waste time to argue in the field that we dont know about?. I kindy ask You to concider and I really hope that we can cooperate and support each other. In my mind, it would be a win-win. Camdan (talk) 01:27, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Lem's Law

Dzień dobry,

bardzo dziękuję za edycję mojej próby dotyczącej Prawa Lema. Dzięki Panu wpis nie tylko został opublikowany, ale też nabrał rąk i nóg, nie mówiąc już tym, że znalazł Pan dodatkowe odnośniki.

Mam tylko jedną uwagę: Juliusz Łukasiewicz, o którym mowa w tekście, to nie *ten* Łukasiewicz, do którego podał Pan link. Chodzi o Juliusza Łukasiewicza inżyniera i pilota RAF. To on napisał "Eksplozję ignorancji" (której zresztą był żywym przykładem, bo Lema nie czytał :-)...). O ile wiem, biogram Łukasiewicza-inżyniera jest tylko w polskiej Wikipedii. Czy pozwoli Pan zatem, że zmienię odsyłacz przy nazwisku Łukasiewicza?

Dziękuję za uwagę i pozostaję z szacunkiem, Maciej Janowicz Maciej Janowicz (talk) 09:40, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

No True Scotsman Fallacy - Undo makes no sense by your own reasoning

The page initially reads: Rather than denying the counterexample or rejecting the original claim, this fallacy modifies the subject of the assertion to exclude the specific case or others like it by rhetoric, without reference to any specific objective rule: "no true Scotsman would do such a thing"

I added a few words: "new", "or criterion": Rather than denying the counterexample or rejecting the original claim, this fallacy modifies the subject of the assertion to exclude the specific case or others like it by rhetoric, without reference to any new specific objective rule or criterion: "no true Scotsman would do such a thing"

Your reason for rolling it back was that "true" was in fact a rule. But by the standards of the version you upheld, the preceding line clearly indicates that the example must be "without reference to any specific objective rule: "no TRUE" Scotsman would do such a thing". So if you are correct that "true" is a rule, then the example that "no TRUE Scotsman would do such a thing" contains a rule (namely: "true"), making that example invalid. But clearly this example is in fact an example of a No True Scotsman fallacy, and thus your reasoning must necessarily be incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.159.178.187 (talk) 16:25, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

WP:BOLD

Please stop edit warring. Your bold moves have been reverted, and need to be discussed first. I was actually in the process of writing a note here explaining this, but you decided to edit war instead. I'll be reporting you to AN3 if this continues. See Talk:Sikorsky for a fuller explanation, as requested. Cheers. BilCat (talk) 20:41, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

November 2020

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Sikorski; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. BilCat (talk) 20:44, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Answered in Talk:Sikorsky. Your reverts without any ma\eaningful explanation is just the same edit war you are acccusing mne of. I hope now the conflliuct will be resolved. Lembit Staan (talk) 20:45, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Taler (cryptocurrency)

Notice

The article Taler (cryptocurrency) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

notability not established, no reputable sources are cited, all sources are government propaganda from either Russia or Belarus. The only reliable source, dsnews, mentions Taler only in the last paragraph, and does not cover it in depth, as required by WP:CORPDEPTH.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

New Page Patrol December Newsletter

Hello Lembit Staan,

A chart of the 2020 New Page Patrol Queue

Year in review

It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

Proposed Signpost article

I tool a look at the article you proposed for The Signpost. It looks good. I did a first pass at copy editing it and added some suggestions at User:Smallbones/Signpost draft, because I think with a little work it can be much better. Feel free to ignore my suggestions (and improve it in other ways!) One thing - I like to keep that "Signpost draft" page to myself so I can more easily copy it when needed, so please just copy (without credit!) whatever parts you'd like and continue your draft at User:Lembit Staan/My experience with women in Wikipedia. Hope this helps. Smallbones(smalltalk) 19:21, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

@Smallbones: I am not sure I like this "WP:FORK" work. Also, I know nothing else about women and I don't like the idea of displacing my personality; I don't think I was shoving it "into your face". Lembit Staan (talk) 23:56, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
OK, we always try to make articles better. It does help to have an editor make suggestions. And we always copy edit. Smallbones(smalltalk) 01:48, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
@Smallbones: I meant I don't like the idea of painstakingly copying your copyedits from your page into my page. I responded to your suggestions, other than that it is all yours. Lembit Staan (talk) 16:50, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
P.S. Probably I was not clear: the suggested article title was "My experience with women in Wikipedia". The whole writing was kinda joke (ha ha only serious). Lembit Staan (talk) 17:03, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
