Incivility warning
After seeing this edit I was going to suggest that you read WP:CIVIL, but as an editor with the more than seven years experience you must be fully aware of that guideline. If you are a gentleman and it was not your intent to be rude, please look over what you have written and remove those parts which are insulting.
This an administrative warning that if you are uncivil again, and I am aware of it, I will take further action.
-- PBS (talk) 22:32, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
- My say pertains to the merit of edits and arguments as well as policies, not editors, if you read what I wrote keenly. I also remind you, that you have taken adversarial position in this discussion, and as an involved administrator, it is outside your bounds to punish me for (wrongly) perceived incivility in this debate. I suggest you ask someone not involved to assess any such. --Mareklug talk 22:35, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for your sensible comment. While your reply was uncivil, to call PBS's repeated comparison between a Slavic surname and "Tony Benn" a straw argument was entirely reasonable. This is not the first example of PBS WP:INVOLVED behaviour slipping into threats of use of admin tools - you are dealing with a User with extremely strong and longstanding opposition to the universal en.wp practice of Unicode names, who has also taken up a position of WP:OWN on WP:DIACRITICS (a guideline which is now ambiguous, and could be read as supporting PBS' reading of it). PBS frequently takes content disputes, particularly when discussion or RMs go against him on foreigners' names, to ANI, so be prepared that attempts to point out the nonsense of having 1 BLP in the entire corpus given an "English name" may lead to further threats. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:28, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
- Btw, that (sympathetic) comment was not designed to discourage watchlisting the BLP in question as it's 1-of-a-kind finger in the eye of the BLP article bank, means it will come up for fixing again. All the best. In ictu oculi (talk) 18:11, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you for your support and comments, but most importantly, fighting the good fight. Obviously sooner or later encyclopedic content will win out over the obtusely editing. --Mareklug talk 18:14, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
- It was my fault actually that few editors saw it, given the high profile of this 1 exception I should have notified WP SERBIA and WP TENNIS when posting the template, and should have linked the WP:TENNISNAMES and WP:TENNISNAMES2 RfCs. At the end of the day it's only 4 diehard "English name" supporters doing some kind of Alamo thing at the last "English" named foreigner, but given the 100 plus other articles across the encyclopedia which have had the name clipped, evidently a 3rd RM will have to go in sooner rather than later. A nuisance. In ictu oculi (talk) 18:25, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 13
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Anežka Drahotová, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Athletics (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

AfD templates
Please do not subst AfD templates as you did here. The link to the discussion appearing as a redlink has nothing to do with substing; it's a known bug (and one they apparently have no interest in fixing) that is fixed by purging the page. AfD templates are never subst-ed as it puts almost 3K of code onto the page that bots then come along and break. - The Bushranger One ping only 08:54, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
Southwest Flight 345
Hi, Mareklug. I was expecting this incident would have its own article and I was disappointed when I found the article was deleted. You "fought the good fight" in trying to save it—thank you for that. I wasn't watching when the AfD went on, or I would have voted Keep. I'm no aviation historian but a landing on the nose-gear that punches it up into the electronics seems pretty unusual to me, and coming so soon after Asiana tried to land on its tail at SFO? Unusual. If I'm watching when the next AfD comes up, I will vote to Keep. If I read the WP:AIRCRASH suggestions correctly, the incident already qualifies because it's going to be an expensive repair (even if it's not a hull loss and there were no fatalities—we have many articles about incidents where there was no hull loss or a fatality). --108.45.72.196 (talk) 17:52, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you. For now the article is being continued as "userified", complete with its prior editing history: User:Mareklug/Southwest Airlines Flight 345. Feel free to edit it with updates, and of course, as soon as the aircraft becomes a write-off and/or significant fall-out occurs from the investigation, I will petition to have it reinstated in main space. --Mareklug talk 18:44, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

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:
This is not all; on our page you can find a list of useful templates (including userboxes), awards and other tools!
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 :) You have received this newsletter because you are listed as a member at WikiProject Poland. |
Thank you for your kind comments...
...over on Wikinews. One minor correction: though I have parents and a sibling and some aunts and uncles tucked away somewhere, I am not exactly a "family man". I am single and live alone in a London flat that is as tiny as it is satirically priced. Thanks again for the vote of confidence. —Tom Morris (talk) 05:23, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Dipanshu Tiwari
About 'Dipanshu Tiwari'
Sir,
I m shalini o dubey...I created a article named dipanshu tiwari which is proposed to be delete... I have it an edit that net worth was 20.3 billion dollar,I have edit it and i have also edit date of birth of dipanshu Tiwari...
Sir I want to ask you that please protect my page.... This information is 100% true and there is no violation of rules to creating this article....
Hope in positive reply
Sir please it is not a fake article...Please do not delete this article named 'Dipanshu Tiwari'... Please tell me on subjects which i need to edit.I will do further resurch on it
- Please refrain from editing this article. It is clear that you are unfamiliar with how to source reliably a Biography of a Living Person. Please read up on the subject. Meanwhile, please do not remove the PROD template without an edit summary that justifies doing so. Your entire edit history is imparting this information on English Wikipedia in both English and Hindi/Devangari script, which does not instill confidence in me. I suggest you discuss the content of the article and why it may not be a hoax on its talk page. However, you have been warned already not to vandalize Wikipedia, and that your next act of vandalism will result in a block. Please take this to heart. Cordially, [copy of this section posted for transparency on the author's talk page in my next edit] --Mareklug talk 15:49, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- After the PROD tag was removed again, I nominated it for deletion to get some more eyes on. Cheers, mate! Geoff Who, me? 16:53, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
About Halibutt
Yes, he is still somewhat active here. But regarding your comment for him, I recommend you either leave it on his talk page or WP:ECHO him, I'd be surprised if he (or most other voters) would come back to the check for replies to their vote. Would you? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:29, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
- I would, since I am a megalomaniacal show-off, hellbent on alienating sensitive people, when I am not influencing the less coruscant (I am trying very hard not to say, the dul^H^H^H). But that is just me, Piotrze. ;) Danke for the advice. --Mareklug talk 10:55, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
Tell me precisely which maps you mean and I might be able to find the original. It all depends on what maps you are referring to. I believe I uploaded the original xcf files of the early maps to commons, so they are there. The newer svg maps are also there, but I might have some different versions at my PC. Let me know the details and I hope I might be able to help. //Halibutt 12:06, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you, but the precise telling will have to wait. I am swamped, and did not budget any time for this, merely ejaculated :) at the sight of you my surprise and need. The maps of Poland, historical maps, are the ones that need to be the best originals you can lay your hands on. I remember having had to alter some texts on the map, or range of colors, or introduce a new color to the legend... stuff like that. --Mareklug talk 14:21, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
- First of all, next time you try to reach me, drop a line to my talk page. I don't visit yours regularly.
- Secondly, you either refer to the 18th century maps of Poland or the 20th century maps of Poland. The earlier are made in GIMP and the source file is available for all to use. Sadly, most clones of my maps were made by people who preferred to use MS Paint and modify them by painting with their mouse. And I can do little about it. The 20th century map however was made in vector format from the beginning, and it's much easier to edit and correct. //Halibutt 23:31, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you. I had in mind the 18th century maps. I will try to manage with what is on Commons for those. Incidentally, I am aware of the pl wiki custom of replying on the responder's user talk page, and so on, without rhyme or reason, but I was following the local custom (en wiki) which embraces the much saner keep-it-all-in-one-place-and-thread approach. When replying to you, however, I will copy the answer to your talk page, as you wish. Thank you for your maps and for taking the time to tell me about them. Zdrufko, -- Mareklug talk 08:58, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
- Actually, I was never a big fan of the Polish wiki and my stay there was very brief, so I don't know what their traditions are. But from my 10-years-long stay at the English wiki I can tell that using the talk page of the person you want to contact is pretty much a standard :) Anyway, File:Rzeczpospolita_1938.svg is the 1938 map in svg format, I believe I might have a better version (with layers) somewhere on my HDD. Scroll down for a brief list of maps I made. The 18th century maps are all based on this source file, it's also downloadable and editable. And if you have specific problems to correct - you can always drop me a line.
- Oh, and I know my childhood nick might sound really strange to all the English speakers out there. But what the hell, my first name is a nightmare to non-Poles as well ("now watch my lips: Krzysztof"), so why not. :) //Halibutt 22:21, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

I am fresh out of wiki kittens; please accept this cake as a thank you for your support and thoughtful comments during my (now withdrawn) RfA. What doesn't kill us... Cheers, Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:34, 12 February 2014 (UTC) |
- I am sorry to hear that you withdrew. I had the romantic notion that my comment would turn the tide. I am such a dreamer, per John Lennon. And thank you for the overly sweet virtual Greek/Turkish/Lebanese confection. I am a confirmed Napoleonka and Éclair and Cheesecake (any species!) and Makowiec and Sacher torte and Au Bon Pain chocolate crossaint-bread rectangular pastry man myself, but when in Saloniki, do as Salonikians do.
