Mein herzliches Beileid! I was quite shocked and amused at the same time to see what troubles you have with your English article on Vilnius. I thought the GErman discussion was already useless enough - but, thanks God, not so many people speak German than English... We had the discussions only among Germans about the correct naming (so, comparatively few comments like 'nazi' or 'fascist') and it's still 'Wilna' though you should know that 'Vilnius' is adequately used today and I hope for the day to come we could just forget about the whole history stuff and use the siuolaikiniai name. but it was interesting to read that the fight between Polish and Lithuanians about the "true" history of Vilnius is so fierce and unrespectful - tells a lot about people's understanding... anyways, good luck for you and all those who try to be fair! --Mastaart 14:43, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Stay calm, Halibutt. Ja tam sie ine przejmuje. Zreszta i tak wroce do wikipedii dopiero za dwa-trzy miesiace, nie wczesniej. Za uzo innej roboty na glowie :-) Szopen 09:21, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Jak napisalem na talku Domeyko, idealnym rozwiazaniem bylo zastapienie wszystkich Polish i Lithuanian przez Polish-Lithuanian. Nie wiem prawde mowiac kto walczyl pod Kircholmem, ale samo Lithuanian jest raczej rownie (nie)poprawny jak samo Polish. Musze wiecej poczytac na ten temat, ale wydaje mi sie ze dla mieszkanca RONu Polska i Litwa znaczyly tyle co dla nas dzis Wielkopolska i Malopolska - on byl mieszkancem Rzeczpospolitej. Rzeczpospolitans...hmmm :> --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 21:57, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your information. I must also find the grave of my uncle Colonel Julian Ulrych (minister of Communication in Slawoj's government), but I think that he was buried among the Legionists after having been transferred from London.

I was wondering if you could make a Wapno location map, similar to the one you did for Poznan? You would just need to move the red dot ever so slightly. I would do it myself, but I don't know how.
Also, I wonder if you could check my English article and compare it to the Polish version. I think the Polish-language article (linked to in English version) lists the wrong voivodship. Could you correct it in proper Polish? (I am unable to do so).
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Here is a copy of a post I left at another user's discussion board. It seems that he has stopped using Wikipedia, so I'm dumping the problems in yours and Piotrus's laps instead (makes you want to resign your adminship, doesn't it?). Hopefully you can offer some suggestions on the first issue, and either fix up the second -- or, since I know you already have your hands full here, pass the issue on to the appropriate Polish Wikipedia admin. Thanks!--Jpbrenna 22:14, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I.P. Brennus S.D. Caio Suo:
I was wondering if you could take a look at the Wapno and Wagrowiec articles I've been working on. I'm asking you because a) you are a native speaker of Polish and b) the creator of the Wagrowiec article (hope I haven't messed it up too much!)
I have two principal concerns:
I appreciate any guidance and help you can give me! --Jpbrenna 20:05, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I didn't start the Wagrowiec County article, I just edited it. It was very stubbly when I found it( still is). Shall I move it to "Wagrowiec Administrative District" (the term the Vagrovians use on their English-language website)? And I should probably change the name of this Wapno to Gmina Wapno or Wapno-Wagrowiec since there may at some point be an article about the other Wapno.
As for the nobility of Poldand: the szlachta were only equal after the Union of Lublin, right? Before that, and after the partition, weren't there sometimes distinctions in rank, depending on the area? The reason I ask is because the history of Wapno page mentions "komes Adam z Wapna" and "komesem Rozalem", which I took to be "Count Adam of Wapno" and "Count Rozal," from the Latin comes. I know the usual term is Hrobia, but I found a source in the online archives of the Polish Genealogical Society of America that translated komes as "count." The problem here is that I know very little Polish, so all the info I extracted from the informacje o Wapnie is guesswork. But it looks like it's saying that Adam was "sprung from the tree of Władyslaw Łokietek" and that he was a count. Powiat does not = county, sensu stricto; this I accept — but is it really true that Poland never, ever had any counts?
Let me know about the page move. And if you have time, check that Wapno history page and let me know if komes should be rendered "Count" or if it means something else. --Jpbrenna 23:42, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Zaproponowalem to miesiac temu Emaxowi, specjaliscie od templatow roznych, ale ze nam zniknal, wiec dopiero teraz sobie o tym przypomnialem ponownie. Co o tym sadzisz?
I was thinking of making a template in place of current bioboxes in our szlachta article. First, I am thinking if it should be Template:Szlachta or Template:Szlachcic (but what about szlachcianka?). I think we should base it on Template:Infobox Biography. I was thinking expanding it with the following sections: Noble Family, Coat of Arms, Offices (that's one important thing that is missing from our current hand mande boxes), Parents, Consorts, Children, Place and Date of Birth, Place and Date of Death. Finally, we can also use a variant of that for our kings. What do you think? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 12:03, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the explanation on my page. Check out the tinkering I did with the count article. At least there will be some clarification there on the issue of counts in Polish history. (It needs more discussion their history in France, Germany et. al.; maybe I'll get around to that sometime).--69.245.192.52 21:34, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I did added the bibliography and external links to History of the Jews in Poland page but it needs a lot of re-write. The whole section about the Anti-Semitism in Modern Poland needs to be replaced with a solid info about Jewish revival in post-communist Poland. Can you help? --Ttyre 08:21, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hey Halibutt, I was looking at this map, and I was wondering how you chose which cities got big circles, and which ones little circles. Why, for instance, do Lodz and Stettin get big circles, but Kaunas does not? john k 03:11, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Kaunas was, at least, the seat of government of Lithuania. Since obvious non-capitals also have the big circle, it seems like it would make sense to give it to Kaunas as well. (I will note that I have an atlas from 1928 or so which shows "Kovno" as the capital of Lithuania.) john k 04:09, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Please take a look at edits of an anon (editing under several IPs) in this article and in a number of other articles. He seems to copy place names from some English text and produces things like "princess of Kujawsk" and Prince of Trock (I guess it must be Kujawy and Troki) I fixed some of them on sight, but I am not that familiar in Polish toponymics.

Hello Halibutt,
Have you noticed that the L'viv article's sketchy history section contains nothing about the Soviets running the Poles out of L'wow?
On German Wiki, by contrast, it's mentioned: "Die meisten in der Stadt und ihrer Umgebung ansässigen Polen wurden vertrieben, viele von ihnen ließen sich in Niederschlesien nieder."
As mentioned some time ago, I've read that Khrushchev was a primary figure in the "Sovietization" of western Ukraine – on Stalin's orders, of course.

Drogi Halibucie, twe instrukcje co do grobu Rydza nie byly takie dobre. Od Alei Zasluzonych trzeba isc co najmniej 1\2 km. Wlasciwa droga to: wejsc przez Brame IV i isc na prawo wzdluz muru cmentarnego, mijajac po lewej stronie glaz szewca Hiszpanskiego. Dojsc wzdluz muru do grobowca Mittagow z czerwonego piaskowca przy murze, stamtad prosto jak strzala w lewo. Grob Rydza jest z daleka widoczny - imponujacy pomnik z granitu wzniesiony 5 lutego 1994 r., na drzewkach ktore wyrosly na prochach marszalka flagi , objasnienia itd.

Carissime Halibutt, I was wondering if you could take a look at the Anders's Army section of the Persian Corridor article and fill in anything about Anders, his soldiers and the civilian refugees that I might have missed? --Jpbrenna 20:35, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
Please take a look at Talk:Black Ruthenian language. I suspect the article is a device of newbred overzealous belarussian nationalist historians. Mikkalai 22:12, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
First I tried to tell that in talk page, but it didnt worked, so I tried to edit your map of 1920 Poland, but it doesnt seems that this has worked too. Basically, what is wrong is that the Latvian/Russian and Estonian/Russian boundaries are shown incorrectly, without Abrene region of Latvia and Petseri region and East coast of Narva of Estonia. These were the territories which belonged to said countries but after WW2 were detached from their SSRs and joined to Russia instead (see Occupied territories of Baltic States for more info). Here is a map of Baltic States in the interwar: http://www.mazal.org/images/Maps/Lithuania02.jpg . Also what I did was that I marked in gray the southern boundary of Lithuanian the Lithuanian claim. I tried to upload new map twice to the Wikimedia commons but maybe it not worked, or maybe I have to wait I dont know this was the first time I used commons. If it doesnt works and you dont have time to correct the said things yourself, I might send you the map via e-mail or such so you could upload. Or else you could correct the borders.

That Vilnius / Wilno discussion page is beginning to look worse than the Gdansk / Danzig one did last year.
In oder not to engender further vituperation there, I'll ask here: If "almost the entire population of the area of Vilna" was expelled by the Soviets, why is Vilnius today 18 percent Polish?
This is basically the same question I asked before about the Vilnius article.
btw, you might check out the 'new' photo on my user page.
