Academy of Learning

The article that you made regarding the Academy of Learning is really confusing. I have a feeling that it has some meaning that should be in Wikipedia, but it should be expanded and clarified and have some notations/citations. --Pmedema (talk) 22:06, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clean-up conducted - removed clarification tag. Thanks --Pmedema (talk) 22:23, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image sizes

Hi, Visor! Specifying thumb sizes is discouraged. Take a look at: Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Images. The good news is that you can set your preferences to make them smaller :) -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 21:54, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I've heard that a few people have the images over the Notes column. But a majority of people don't seem to have a problem, and the MOS guideline says if you *do* have a problem you can set your preferences. I know W-Z had the sizes when it got FL, but [1] and [2], FL'd *without* sizes. T-V FL'd *with* sizes, though those were set at 200px.

As a compromise, what if we switched the References and the Notes columns? That way if a column gets hidden, it's the mostly empty Notes column rather than the much more important Ref. column? -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 22:45, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We *could* leave it alone, but at the moment it's the only one of the lists that has the images with set sizes. And I've been spending a *lot* of time on these lists trying to a) expand them and b) standardize them. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 23:11, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh - I'm glad that worked! Thanks for letting me know! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 23:34, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback

Hello Visor, I have granted rollback rights to your account. The reason for this is that, after a review of some of your contributions, I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended use of reverting vandalism: I do not believe you will abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck.

Odbieranie motywacji i inne pierdoły.

Ach witaj. Moim zdaniem obserwując nowych (znalazłam to na twojej podstronie użytkownika user:Visor/Watches, odbierasz im motywację. Czy czułbyś się komfortowo, gdybyś był stale obserwowany i śledzony? Ta wikipedia angielska jest coraz gorsza.. Kasia a.k.a KatLos 11:40, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nie, nie chodziło mi o to. Patrząc na Twoją listę widziałam, też nie tylko siebie i Aldena, ale innych użytkowników i w ich obronie stanęłam. Myślę, że nowicjusz który jest obserwowany i rewertowany powinien znać powód rewertu (albo reverta, nigdy nie mogłam znaleźć skutecznej odmiany:), trzeba wyjaśniać, co było źle i dlaczego zostało zrevertowane, bowiem to bardzo pomaga w pracy z nowicjuszami. No i pewnie myślisz, że mam jakieś dziwne pomysły, że 2 krotnie chce skasowania swojej strony, a potem ją odtwarzam.. Teraz stwierdziłam, że będę tylko trzymać to co potrzebne.

The Sportvereinigung_(SV)_Dynamo#Dynamo-Hall_of_fame section should be better organized to became more readable. I suggest to clean up this section by one of the following way:

Quake 3 Links

Hi

I noticed you've removed the links that I added to the Quake 3 page. Do you mind explaining why? As I noted in the comments, the way I added the links was to make them the same as the ones on the Doom page. So how can it be ok to have them that way on the Doom page but not on the Quake 3 page? Thanks.Ben 2082 (talk) 21:03, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quake 3 Links

I didn't say that Doom IS a featured article, I said it has been a featured article. Also about the headings- the Doom article has them and no-one has a problem with it. Also the links I want to add to the Quake 3 article are identical in nature to those in the Doom article- again, no-one has a problem with those being there, and they've been there for months if not years. That link about wikipedia links you gave me says that wikipedia shouldn't include links that aren't relevant- but these are. If you look in Wikipedia:External links it gives the following information about what to use as a link:

"3. Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to copyright issues, amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks) or other reasons."

The sites that I linked to fall into this category because they provid comprehensive information about fan-created content for Quake 3 that obviously you couldn't fit in the article, but it's still neutral and accurate material. Thanks for your time. Ben 2082 (talk) 22:12, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Quake 3 Links

So do you think many of the links in the Doom page should be removed? Also when you say "Links given by you provides information about fan-created content for game, but has no encyclopedic value, in opposite to "professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks" "- why are those things encyclopedic whereas information about fan-created content isn't? Ben 2082 (talk) 23:39, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Quake 3 Links

Okay, I see you've removed the Planetquake page, as suggested in that article you mentioned. But why havn't you removed the Mobygames page, too? That falls under the following category:

"The video game's page at 1up, GameSpot, IGN, GameSpy and other commercial video game news and reviews sites - Such links can be seen as promotion of the associated commercial sites."

Quake3world probably should go, too because it falls under the following:

"Forums, even if official forums provided by the developer/publisher of the game - Again, these are self-published forums and are not appropriate"

I'm guessing that Open Directory project thing is supposed to be an extensive list of links but it's missing a lot. It's a pity there isn't some kind of "wiki-link" or something, where people can put in useful links for stuff, then you could just have a link to that from the main wikipedia page for something. I just mean so that people can find good websites easily. Ben 2082 (talk) 12:28, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We conversed a while ago about the Quake 3 article, and you seem like a pretty fair editor when it comes to wikipedia.

Pawel Szajda article

Hello. Since you spearheaded the attempted removal of the Pawel Szajda article in 2008, I thought you might like to review the complete rewrite of the article I just completed. I know it's still not up to ideal standards, but it's a work in progress. For example, there's another article with several bits of information and quotes I plan to selectively include. There are more lurking out there, too. The main reason I am writing is to make sure that you agree that the actor is notable enough not to warrant any more deletion nominations, or if you still don't believe he is notable. I would have to say that as it stands now, this article is considerably better than many actor-related AFDs that result in Keep. I hope you agree. If not, please don't prod it. Discuss the matter with me, and I will try to address the issues. I probably will be away from en.Wiki for about a week, but looking at my edit history, you know I am legitimate and will return to do as I say. :-) Have a great day! --Willscrlt (Talk) 15:21, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion nomination of Therion demo albums

I have nominated Therion demo albums, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Therion demo albums. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

File source problem with File:E.Zawadzka Zo 1943.png

Thanks for uploading File:E.Zawadzka Zo 1943.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 08:01, 3 April 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Masur (talk) 08:01, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Maria Kaczynska DoB

Hello,

The reference I placed for Maria Kaczynska's DoB is an outside source. What information do you have - besides another Wikipedia project - that confirms that my reference is unreliable? -- Michael David (talk) 15:18, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find evidence which would confirm that znanipolacy.pl is a reliable website. It is just who-is-who database with paid ranks and spam-links (SEO purpopses) at footer. No references, unknown authors and publisher. I've added a more reliable reference. Would you agree with this source? Visor (talk) 16:05, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how one determines that a particular website is completely reliable - including Wikipedia. Since I don't read Russian, I couldn't tell what the reference you placed said. But, since the DoB you inserted in the Article differs by only one year, I will take it on faith and be satisfied with that. --- Michael David (talk) 16:23, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't said Wikipedia is a reliable reference. For this moment other Wikipedias, including Polish, has different DOBs for Maria. I can only tell that znanipolacy.pl isn't reliable by arguments I've mentioned above. The reference I've placed includes scanned list of passports of the Tu-154 flight. If you don't read Russian, I can suggest you Google Translate tool. Date of birth of Maria was under dispute since ca. 2006 (there is a discussion here). There is also a little chaos around that, you can see that one source—Gazeta.pl—gives two dates in one article: 1950 (ur. 1950 means born in 1950) and 1943 (image description says "1943 - 2010"). Visor (talk) 16:44, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Visor. One of the things that does make Wikipedia a much more reliable source than most others is the amount of research and discussion that goes on behind the scenes - like ours. And, I have found that with birth dates, sometimes the subject themselves (when it comes to publicity) can be the least relaible :-). Also, the notes you added to the Article help a lot. Thanks, and be healthy. -- Michael David (talk) 17:21, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This debate is still open of course, the more reliable reference is needed for that point. Thanks for the discussion. Visor (talk) 17:42, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Revision to Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri articles

I noticed that you have revised either Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri or Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire.

I intend to revise those articles following the Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines. There are more details on the discussion pages of those articles. I'd be interested in any comments you have. It would be best if your comments were on the discussion pages of the two articles.

Thank you.

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 01:17, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edits at I Wanna Be The Guy

Hi. I think different versions of Microsoft Windows should be on because it already says "Microsoft Windows" for "Platforms". And the game doesn't work on all versions of Windows (the very old ones, such as Windows 1.0, Windows 2.0 and Windows 3.0).

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

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:

we have an active assessment department. As of now, our project has tagged almost 80,000 pages as Poland-related, out of which 1,500 still need a quality assessment, and 20,000, importance assessment.
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.
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.
you can also see detailed deletion discussions at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Poland (which is another good place to watchlist!)
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
we are maintaining a Portal:Poland
automated Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland/Popular pages lists the most popular Poland-related pages from the previous month(s)

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?

Request for comment

This message is being sent to you because you have previously edited the Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English) page. There is currently a discussion that may result in a significant change to Wikipedia policy.

This discussion is on-going at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (use English), and your comments would be appreciated. Dolovis (talk) 17:17, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free rationale for File:Malgorzata Braunek.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Malgorzata Braunek.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

File:Mariusz Zaruski.JPG needs authorship information.

Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:Mariusz Zaruski.JPG appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided),authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which:{{subst:usernameexpand|Visor}} will produce an appropriate expansion,
or use the {{own}} template.

If this is an old image, for which the authorship is unknown or impossible to determine, please indicate this on the file description page.

Orphaned non-free image File:Mieczyslawa Trapszo.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Mieczyslawa Trapszo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions. If you have a question, place a {{helpme}} template, along with your question, beneath this message.
I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.

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 :)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:10, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:E.Zawadzka Zo 1943.png

Thank you for uploading File:E.Zawadzka Zo 1943.png. However, it is currently missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Sitraahra.png

Thank you for uploading File:Sitraahra.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.
