Hello Marcin, welcome to Wikipedia. Here are some useful links in case you haven't already found them;
If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Hi, I'm sorry if I listed Akashic Brotherhood or Celestial Chorus as copyvios. My intention was to list only articles which were copyvios posted by a particular anonymous user, so I was looking at the edit history for that IP address. Perhaps he or she edited your articles and I accidentally caught them that way - I admit that after the first 10 or so I was no longer actually doing a google search each time to find the original text.
By the way, I've noticed that you linked to Tradition from your text, which isn't what you want. You might like to know that Mage: The Ascension links to Traditions (Mage: The Ascension) instead - you can do this using the wikitext [[Traditions (Mage: The Ascension)|Tradition]]. However, that article doesn't exist yet: these things always seem to create more work the longer you look at them! ~~~~
I'll rework it in spare time, but now I'm concentrated more on Werewolf: The Apocalypse Forseti 11:17, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Before you edit any of Polish-German-related articles, could you be so kind as to take a look at the discussion page? At times automatic edition might destroy a hard-worked compromise...(Expulsion of Germans after World War II)Halibutt 16:40, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Poland's betrayal by the Western Allies please vote to keep it. Cautious 20:51, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Hi Marcin
Re: 'Poland's betrayal...' etc. No panic or insult intended. Poles have excellent brains of their own. What I wrote was the end of a process where I was trying to persuade Cautious to talk about arriving at an acceptable form of words. See you around. DJ Clayworth 14:17, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
No email from you, sorry. Cautious 18:28, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Hello, Forseti,
I think you might like to combine Soviet ethnic cleansing of East Prussia with Prussian people. You seem to have the neutrality needed, especially since you come from Poland. However, it seems Cautious automatically deletes entire postings which he/she disagrees with.
Just an idea. :-)
Sincerely,

== Germans not only as the first victims of the Nazis,
but as the last victims of THEIR victims ==
What I didn't write on the Expulsion-talk page:
Nico and Space Cadet are, quite simply (in my view), exponents or agents for existing views in Europe, and with the expansion of EU approaching it's more important than ever to communicate rather than continue World War II with other means.
I am convinced that you don't have to think long to put yourself in the position of the Germans. Similarly to how the Cold War influenced the Poles, also in the both Germanys there existed plenty of subjects which couldn't be discussed publicly, unless you were to be labled as a political extremist.
The horror stories connected to the post-war "population transfer" belonged to these topics. I remember from family reunion parties in the 1990s how still then, the old aunts only when they had become quite intoxicated dared to start wisper over their memories from 1945-48-56. My own great aunt, who is the relative I emotionally feel closest attached to, has staunchly refused to answer any question or speak more than single short sentences on the evacuation from Wroclaw or how she ended up in Berlin before 1956.
...so, the lift of the unspoken ban against public mentioning of atrocities (particularly them commited by civilians, by neighbours) in Poland and Czechoslovakia has filled a great vacuum, not the least for the younger generations, and it represents a need to see our grand-parents not only as perpetrators (which was hard to embrace) but also as victims. Most of all, it illustrates the thesis that Germans are not per se more evil (or at least not much more evil) than other peoples, which the recent tragedies in ex-Yugoslavia and Rwanda also have expressed.
I do (of course!) not advocate making Wikipedia to a vehicle for these feelings, but I ask for some understanding, which might (or might not) make it easier to relate to the excesses. Also if we leve Nico aside, I think some other pro-German contributors are suffering from sever need to rehabilitate the Germans by emphasizing atrocities done by others.

I was quite suprised by your name, Forseti = President in icelandic, is this a coincidence? --Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 22:14, 2004 May 7 (UTC)
Hi, Forseti. The edits from your IP have now been reattributed to you. Regards — Kate Turner | Talk 03:33, 2004 Sep 5 (UTC)
A gdzieś się Waść podziewał przez ostatnie kilka miesięcy, jeśli wolno spytać? [[User:Halibutt|Halibutt]] 20:45, Oct 29, 2004 (UTC)
Hi. I saw your comment at the Village Pump and thought I might be able to help. I've been at Wikipedia for 3 years, and I'm good at working with other contributors to turn messes into clear, straightforward articles. My specialty is controversial subjects where it's difficult to distinguish between "objective truth" and "whatever I myself personally happen to believe". On the other hand, I am Jewish and lost relatives to Hitler's concentration camps, so I might have an anti-Nazi bias (I'll try to squelch this while editing). --user:Ed Poor (talk) 18:22, Nov 30, 2004 (UTC)
You have identified all the problems clearly. Yes, we're too tolerant of trouble-makers; I'm running for the Arbitration Committee hoping to be able to crack down on them. And I've led some discussions about a review system. Let's keep trying. --user:Ed Poor (talk) 17:04, Dec 1, 2004 (UTC)
I'm not sure the template Fictional Setting you've created is all that useful. See Template talk:Fictional Setting for the discussion I've tried to create on this point. Though I will say, you've done a great job of making the template (with CSS classes and so on); I just don't believe it's useful. I'd be very interested to read your thoughts on the subject, though. — OwenBlacker 19:22, Dec 4, 2004 (UTC)
As Rossami just told me: "It's a wiki. Be bold." But thank you for your courtesy in asking my opinion. GeorgeStepanek\talk 01:52, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I think your portal page rework is excellent, and should be rolled out immediately. It keeps the spirit of the alternative design proposal (things around a globe) whilst avoiding all of the CSS/browser problems, and looks clean and crisp. -- The Anome 12:44, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)
You voted "Agree". I'm not sure you realize what you're voting for.
Consider List of cities in Poland. You have voted for putting "Danzig" next to Gdansk on this page.
Consider Lechia Gdansk. You have voted for putting "Danzig" next to Gdansk on this page.
Every page that mentions Gdansk will also have to mention Danzig.
A page about Lech Walesa will have to mention: he worked at the shipyard in Gdansk (Danzig). The word Danzig must appear in the page.
This is what you have voted for. -- Curps 11:24, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Forgive me if this is naive...but has anyone considered splitting Danzig and Gdansk into separate articles...referencing each other, but the Danzig article emphasizing its history as a Prussian/Germanic city until the close of WWII, and Gdansk emphasizing its role in post-WWII Poland? -- ExplorerCDT
Hi there! I thought you might be intrested in helping out a bit with the organization of this meetup. The actual idea of a CEE Meetup was proposed by Ronline from Romania but, as it turned out, there were 3 people from Romania willing to participate and close to 20 form Poland (see Meta:Wikimedia meetup Central and Eastern Europe for details).
So... Now we're taking matters into our own hands. ;) Take a look at Meta:Wikimedia meetup Central and Eastern Europe/Poland if you find the time. All sugestions and ideas welcome. Cheers, TOR 08:30, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC) P.S. Good God, it felt strange to write to a Pole in English... Didn't want to mess your talk page up, though. :P
I'd like to change the search form at meta:Www.wikipedia.org template/temp to use your design, but I can't find the "Play.png" and "Search.png" images referred to by meta:Www.wikipedia.org template/Forseti. Please could you upload them, or let me know where you have already uploaded them. —AlanBarrett 19:44, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I've taken on the task of spliting the Foreigner page, which mostly dealt with the band Foreigner. Many other pages link to the now disambig page. I have been going through the pages and unlinking any uses of foreigner that mean stranger. I have no problem with this as Wikipedia is not a dictionary. However, I didn't want to unlink foreigner in the Mediation (culture) page as it would weaken the page. You appear to be the only editor of this page, so I'm leaving this note in your Talk page. Any ideas? Your dear friend Acjelen 23:58, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
zapraszam.--Witkacy 13:30, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I rmember you were rahter active here with the WoD content... the people from Wolfspoor have started a White Wolf wiki that is in pretty dire need of extra submissions...

Hi Forseti,
I see you haven't edited for some time so I guess this is a long shot, but in case you see this message, an editor raised a question at Talk:Midnight#Sacrum concerning material you added. Adrian J. Hunter(talk•contribs) 07:39, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
The media file you uploaded as File:New-wikipedia-article-layout.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).
((subst:usernameexpand|Forseti))
will produce an appropriate expansion,The article Mediation (magic) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:36, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
