Inter-language links[edit]

@Kochas: The interlanguage link template {{ill}} exists so that readers are aware that a Wikipedia article about a topic (e.g. a person) exists in a Wikipedia of another language, even if it does not yet exist in the en.Wikipedia. The template is especially designed both for readers - Polish-language readers can click on the 'pl' link (in this case) - and for editors, who are encouraged to create the article either independently, or benefitting from the existing article in the other language(s). If the en.Wikipedia article is created with the suggested name, then the template will automatically only show the link to the en.Wikipedia article - it can be tidied up behind the scenes later on.

If you have a good reason why readers of the en.Wikipedia article OKO.press should not know about the pl.Wikipedia articles on key people in OKO.press, then please state that reason. Thanks! Boud (talk) 21:45, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Long quote[edit]

Re: [1] - Block quotes are "incompatible with an encyclopedic writing style and may be a copyright infringement" [2]. They are also POV-ish since they tend to privilege and emphasize one particular point of view. There's really no good reason to include a lengthy block quote unless the quote itself is somehow notable, which here, it isn't. Volunteer Marek 20:53, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The concern is not about "block quotes", it's about Using too many quotes. In this case, there is a single quote, so it's not "too many". It's used to illustrate a point and to attribute a point of view or idea. The chief editor of the news source thinks that the lawsuit is oppressive. Whether or not he is right, that's notable information for the reader, who will make his/her own judgment on whether or not Pacewicz is right. Block quotes are described on the guideline page at MOS:BLOCKQUOTE and are accepted in en.Wikipedia. Boud (talk) 03:02, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There's really no reason to include it though except to push POV. Summarize and paraphrase his views if it's really that important. The fact that the chief editor disagrees with the fact he's being sued is not exactly some deep revelation. Volunteer Marek 02:40, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There is no reason to include it, indeed. It does not look good from the neutral point of view stand. - GizzyCatBella🍁 23:27, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Neutrality requires the response by OKO.press if the attacks by the government's lackeys are included.VR Boxing (talk) 05:30, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
