Hi :-) Citation is generally useful and may help improve a stub article where there is little information on anything else. As you seem to have plenty of links, why not cite? It's not mandatory, but it is useful.

Good evening Lajsikonik. "Gmina" or "Commune"? In my opinion the situation is clear - the term being used by us is "commune" (source) ;). Other topics - on IRC.

Few notes. Our resident expert on this is User:Balcer, make sure to drop him a note. See also semi-active Wikipedia:WikiProject Geography of Poland, where most of those issues were discussed and consensus was reached in the past, and if you ever want to get attention of most active Poland-related editors, do so by dropping a note at WP:PWNB - I highly recommend watching that page and taking part in the life of our little friendly community here :) -- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  20:59, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-04-25T20:59:00.000Z","author":"Piotrus","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Piotrus-2007-04-25T20:59:00.000Z-Hej\/cze\u015b\u0107","replies":[],"displayName":"Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus"}}-->

Hi. It is good to see another person interested in improving geographical articles related to Poland. I never worry too much about the precise form of article titles. They can always be easily moved to something more appropriate later. The important thing is to have the articles.

To answer your specific questions, my suggestions for ambiguous cases would be, following the practice of Polish Wikipedia (why not?)

• "Name Commune (Voivodeship)"
• and for villages "Name (Voivodeship)" - or "Name (County)" in cases where there is more than one village with a given nname in a Voivodeship. In rare cases of two villages of the same name in the same county (say Bochotnica), go with "Name (Commune").

For one example, see Hrebenne, Hrebenne (Tomaszów Lubelski County). Hope this helps.

About my removing of content in the article about the Himavanti Confraterinty Order - sorry, I didn't know that it was true but it was controversial content added without source. You also did the same in the article about Richard Matuszewski when I added info about his activism and you deleted it. And you can't just block me for "POV" just like that - I wasn't warned and I hadd asked not to be blocked in my edit discripton.

It wasn't block "just 'cause POV", and matter this time wasn't controversial: it is well known fact that Mohan was three times arested, (you should use {fakt} temlate in this case, now it is properly sourced), but it wasn't main reason. Main reason was, again, an edit war, and you has been warned to do not "hide" a proper edits between POV to make rewert harder, and to discuss imortant change first on discussion page, you just won't search the consensus with other users (Rdrozd, Migatu, Szwedzki, and others) in controversial matter.

I don't think the link you have added addresses the concern. It appears that is just a list of links from my check of the government site. It doesn't appear to address what LZS is at all.

A tag has been placed on Forgotten Sunrise requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. tomasz. 22:07, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-10-14T22:07:00.000Z","author":"W guice","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-W_guice-2007-10-14T22:07:00.000Z-Notability_of_Forgotten_Sunrise","replies":[],"displayName":"tomasz."}}-->

Thankyou very very much Lajsikonik for your wonderful translation effort!

The Silesian language is very unique indeed.

Actually, the reason I tagged it is that I'm pretty bad at doing copyediting myself; I tend to miss a lot of things that need work. The tag is there so that someone who does have experience in copyediting can fix it up. It works quite well; it usually takes a little time, but someone will come in to work on it. --User:AlbertHerring ^{Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla!} 13:27, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-05-28T13:27:00.000Z","author":"AlbertHerring","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-AlbertHerring-2009-05-28T13:27:00.000Z-Hujowa_G\u00f3rka","replies":[],"displayName":"User:AlbertHerring"}}-->

We noticed though that when you edited Piotr Osiecki, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Polish (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

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.

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. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 09:27, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-11-06T09:27:00.000Z","author":"Ser Amantio di Nicolao","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Ser_Amantio_di_Nicolao-2016-11-06T09:27:00.000Z-Europe_10,000_Challenge_invite","replies":[]}}-->
