Re:Józef Lipski edit
I am not sure what specifcally do you mean. The story is interesting, but considering the size of the article it seems to unduly concentrate on a minor detail. Neither Polish nor German articles on him mention it, and the stress on it can create an impression that the start of the war was due to one diplomat oversleeping :) Which is certainly not the case - him getting out or not off bet wouldn't change a single thing - and the impression only serves to confuse a reader and possibly blacken an image of - as far as I can tell - is and was a respected diplomat and soldier.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 19:46, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
- Yep, it's much better now. As for Danzig crisis, see Polish Corridor - I think they cover a similar issue.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 15:26, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- I'd think that its WP:NPOV. My version makes no claims about which side had the right to it, just states that the Germans wanted to annex it. Yours, on the other hand, used the word 'return' which would imply that it was rightfully German. The other side would be a version that would suggest Poles had more right to it.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 17:20, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- Starting from the back, yes, I would get the notice, this is why we usually post in threads, not new messages. With the caveats that I am not, obviously, a native English speaker, I think return is less netural then annex. Perhaps we could poll editors at WP:PWNB and its German equivalent for more feedback. Return is tricky as Poland could also argue the city should be returned to her since it used to be part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Annex seems logical: Free City was neither Polish nor Germany and both countries would like to annex it, eventually Germany had their way (for a few years).-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 23:38, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- I prefer national boards since it seems most editors interested in a given coutry would watch them (and remember, those boards are not for editors from country X but interested in country X). There is always WP:3O, WP:RFC and other steps from WP:DR, as well as various other boards.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 01:03, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
- You may be suprised how much time people spend around here discussiong single words :) As long as we can keep our cool and remain civil, its a pleasant thing. Unfortunatly sometimes this is not the case :( I am glad our discussion was one of those better ones. As for stubs, check WP:STUB, personally I use a rule o thumb: if the entire article (not counting lists) fits on a single computer screen, its a stub. Note that referenced non-stubs, created or significantly expanded withing last week, qualify for WP:DYK.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 17:06, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Non-Free rationale for File:Lloyd's list covers.jpg edit
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Lloyd's list covers.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under Non-Free content criteria but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a Non-Free rationale.
If you have uploaded other Non-Free media, consider checking that you have specified the Non-Free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:45, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
