Hi
I see the modifications you made to the creativity page - two additional references.
Extra references are good, and I have a few hundred references on creativity I could add myself, but since space is short I'm wondering if you could elaborate a little on why the references apparently about aesthetics should be added to an article on creativity?
Thanks for your thoughts on this!

Also regarding the creativity article, I am asking for comment on Talk:Creativity about creating a new History of Creativity page, and moving the sections "History of the term and the concept" and "Periods and Personalities" into it. I would put a short summary and link on the main page. This would allow us to expand on the history without worrying about making the main article too long. Do you have an opinion on this? I would appreciate your input, especially since you wrote most (if not all) of the history section. Thanks. --BrettRob 01:12, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

I want to thank you for your redaction of my (and others) articles. You are doing a tremendous job. Just one nitpick - sometimes you tend to use strange, rare words, which perhaps are not the best choice for an average reader. Personally I try to keep to those guidelines, what do you think about them? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 11:04, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Like Orwell, I believe in using common words, short words, and the fewest words that will do the job. Sometimes, however, the mot juste may be neither common nor short. Then the reader has an opportunity to learn a new and useful word (which regrettably, as in the case of "awesome," all too often becomes 'too common). Logologist 16:37, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Similarly, good work on Ultra, an article that's long been overdue some attention! I thought I'd ask your opinion on an idea I had for the division of material between Enigma machine, Cryptanalysis of the Enigma, and Ultra. Several months ago, when Enigma machine was nominated for Featured Article, it had material on everything, from this history and operation of the machine, to the history of its decryption, to the effect of the intelligence on WWII. The problem was that the article was getting a little huge, so I went in and carved out everything to do with cryptanalysis – both techniques and the "codebreaker's history" – and created a new article, Cryptanalysis of the Enigma. I also moved the intelligence stuff here to Ultra. Since then, I've only really worked on polishing the original Enigma machine article, which was left with the details of the machine, its variants, its usage procedures etc. I haven't taken the time to work on Ultra, but ultimately I'd like to merge most of the cryptanalysis-story parts (Bletchley Park, Biuro Szyfrów, etc) into Cryptanalysis of the Enigma, and leave this article to focus primarily on the intelligence. I propose that Ultra would include things like all the major battles and events that Ultra is known to have played a part in, the nature of Ultra intelligence, how it was distributed, conjectures about significance of Ultra on WWII, and so on. But the article would omit most of the story of how Enigma (and other systems) were broken, both in terms of techniques and people involved. This way, we avoid relating the same detail in duplicate in several different articles, but (hopefully) tell it well in just one article. Do you think this sounds reasonable? — Matt Crypto 11:45, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

As far as I remember, there's no [h] in Polish IPA at all. In fact in modern Polish the sound is barely ever used - and if ever, it's more or less correspondent to the hardest "h" you can imagine, similar to the Ukrainian sound. On the contrary, the standard "ch" (and "h" as well) are simply put down as phoneme [x] (or arch-phoneme [X]).

I would also say it's slightly inaccurate, since she was crowned Rex. I say "slightly" because in Polish she is often called Królowa Jadwiga, so that isn't so clear-cut either. How about we call her Jadwiga Angevin? This would match the Polish Jadwiga Andegaweńska, and conform to our current naming of monarchs such as Aleksander Jagiellon and Anna Jagiellon.

List of Polish Fine Artists?--SylwiaS | talk 21:32, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
Well, I just made a voting there. There's no sense to keep the discussion anymore. The problem is the great amount of non-Poles being brought to the list. The list is getting too large, and really not clear. Many of the new Poles are completely unkown in Poland. So how they are going to be the most famous Poles who should be on the list? Anyhow, there are two editors. One wants the list to be clear. Not too many names in one group etc. I moved some artist elsewhere and the same may be done with other people. But in the same time when I move really well known famous Poles elsewhere, the article gets addtional names, like this list of American Football players [5]. The other editor uses the criterion of surname. So everyone with a surname with the suffix "ski" is added. No matter if the person is a Pole, or e.g. their family emigrated 100 years ago. This way soon there will be only Americans on the list, and we'll have to do another list. Maybe List of Poles from Poland.--SylwiaS | talk 09:47, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

I think that prowincja (not 'prowincyja') is a larger entity that voivodship. If not for the PLC times when they used the 'prowincja' for Crown/GDL/Rus/Prusy, it would all be so much easier. I guess we could settle on something like voivodship-level province and province-level province, but the second part is kind of funny (maslo maslane...). Province ('wojewodztwo') or province ('voivodship') are also aleternatives to consider. What about using voivodship (province) for voividship, and just province in those few historical contexts where it's merited, plus there is an explanation of this in the PLC article (geography section) and we can add them to voivodship/province articles?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 16:51, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi Logologist, I entertained the idea of moving the article to "Greater Poland Uprising (1806)", but 1) all the other Greater Poland Uprising articles use the "of" format, and 2) the Polish WP uses "powstanie wielkopolskie XXXX roku". However, it doesn't really matter that much to me, as long as all the Greater Poland Uprising articles are consistent. I also prefer the English "Greater Poland" over "Wielkopolska". I don't think it sounds like "Greater German Reich" any more than "Greater London". Appleseed (Talk) 02:17, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
Where the old 18th-century "prowincyje" (Wielkopolska, Małopolska and Lithuania) are concerned, I agree with you: consistency is important, and moreover these terms are today more historic than practical. So I think you can use the Anglicizations for these with a clear conscience. But if it proves possible, I'd rather use authentic Polish names (in the noun forms, as in English) for present-day major Polish geographic entities, which from pity for English readers I would call "provinces" and "counties." The only plausible objection to the former term that might be raised, I think, involves the historic "prowincyje" that ceased to exist 211 years ago. Perhaps, time permitting, we can discuss these matters further. logologist|Talk 04:56, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
Note that when we are talking about "prowincja" during any of Greater Poland Uprisings we dont think about provinces of PLC but Prussian/German provinces of South Prussia, Grand Duchy of Poznań or Province of Posen. Radomil talk 15:30, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

I am planning to move this list from my userspace to mainspace soon, but I am not happy with it looks (it's kind of ugly). Suggestions (to a name as well) appreciated. I am thinking of moving names and dates of officeholders to more general articles - otherwise this could be a VERY long lists. Hetmans are done, and some bishops already have lists in 'Bishops of...' articles. In case of voivodes, 'voivodship of...' with a subsection on voivodes is good enough, but where should we move castellans? Creating almost a hundred of 'castellan of...' may not be looked upon that friendly by some AfD crowd. Should they be added to the city's article? Castellans (as szlachta in general) didn't have much to do in cities, I don't think they even had any 'office' there. And there are ministers and court officials too.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 18:03, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Your recent deletion of the leading article at the Biuro article has thrown me for a bit of a loop. As a test, I've spoken to people about the Biuro (hard to bring up other than out of the blue, which results in puzzlement in others), and the article seems natural, and its lack seems unnatural. The subjects of my experiments aren't fully neutral, as I was forced to explain what was going on which contaminated the pristine purity of the attempt with placebo effect (or something related).
In addition, I've tried writing sentences about the Biuro with and without the article, and there is oddity without it.
Therefore, I think (or rather the obscure language expert embedded somewhere in my brain) that the article is needed for proper English. Note carefully that I have absolutely no idea how it ought to be used in Polish, and so I'm entirely innocent of any bias from that language. I await your comemnt before making any changes in the Biuro article. ww 15:56, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

I notice you have reverted my correction of the coat of arms caption. Respectfully suggest reconsideration as all family arms are hereditary, thus superflous to describe them as such.

I have taken up your suggestion and begun the expansion of the Conrad entry with a subsection on Conrad's failed love affair in Mauritius recounted in his novella, The Smile of Fortune. Compared to the present length of the whole Conrad entry this may seem over long; however the intention is to do justice to him by expanding the entire entry. – Balliol 23:22, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
Excellent subsection on Style. The quotations at the conclusion are telling – Balliol 23:27, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Conrad's biographer, Professor Zdzisław Najder, has kindly replied to my enquiry on this question. I quote his conclusions with consent
"There could have been various reasons: from his awareness that the British govt. had been much less than friendly to re-born Poland in 1918 and 1920 - to his general reticence in participating in British political life (he never voted in parliamantary elections) and his unwillingness to accept official honours (he refused several honorary doctoral degrees). But to me the simplest and the most likely reason was his awareness that he belonged to a noble family with roots reaching back at least to the XVIth C. He was acutely conscious of having broken the line of patriots serving his home country; accepting the knighthood could have seemed to him as a confirmation of his own desertion."
I feel this vindicates both Logologist's original argument and much of the subsequent debate, and accordingly would suggest that the present wording of the entry might stand. For those interested page 488 of Prof. Najder's biography refers. -- Balliol 15:15, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Logologist. I have a favour to ask. You have moved article Florian Gate to St. Florian's Gate. However, the new name, although common among websites promoting tourism in Poland, is not written in good English. I can accept the changeover only as a St. Florian Gate without the letter "s" behind the name of Florian. Here are some examples of proper usage of the same given name: Saint Florian Church [14], St Florian de la Riviere [15], The St Florian Standard [16], or St. Florian Monastery in Enns [17], etc. Please change the name again.

There's a second issue we have to think about at some point, which is that the TOC is becoming long and unwieldy - it may make sense to take some of the examples in the last two sections off the TOC (as is done in the "Rhyming Schemes" subsection), which would greatly compress it.

Hi Logologist,
Thank you for your response to my post. You gave a stab at a translation for me; the phrase was, "Quamquam in fundis inferiorum sumus, oculos angelorum tenebimus." Your translation was "Although in the lower depths, we behold with the eyes of angels." Which I believe is probably a direct hit! I was just wondering if you could take a quick second to break down (one in particular) the specifics for me.
I understand your translating "fundis inferiorum sumus" as "the lower depths" and that makes sense. "Oculos angelorum" is the "eyes of angels", I should have seen that myself before posting. Duh. But I wonder how you arrived at teneo (to hold, possess; presumably also to BEhold?) as the root of "tenebimus" instead of tenebrae, tenebricosus, tenebrosus - meaning gloomy, dark, blind, obscure, etc.? I guess that was really the source of my trouble in translating the phrase and mostly I'm just envious of your skill of course, but was also hoping for just a little enlightenment from an obvious master. :) Is there a trick to finding the true root of a word that is so heavily... decorated? :)

I'd like to ask you for your opinion on the correct translation of several Polish awards. I'm trying to improve all the articles about Polish medals and I need to know what should I call some of them in English. There's a discussion about it on the WikiProject Poland notice board if you're interested in reading more.
I have the following translation problems so far (I haven't even looked at the obsolte medals): Is Krzyż Walecznych - Cross of the Valorous or Cross of the Valiant? Valorous is a somewhat archaic word, I think valiant is a more appropriate translation. I have two books that list this medal and they each use one of those words. Also Order Krzyża Wojskowego could be Military Cross but that's already an American award so perhaps I should name is Order of the Military Cross? Order Zasługi Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej could be Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland?
Thank you in advance. JRWalko 20:05, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

you have done an outstanding job on the Edmund Charaszkiewicz article, but I have a question about one paragraph
this paragraph: Charaszkiewicz would later (February 1940, in Paris) describe the Polish military-intelligence operation in the Third Silesian Uprising as a model operation of its kind: its objectives were clearly defined; the requisite personnel were skilfully recruited and trained; the necessary explosives, weapons, ammunition, equipment and supplies were smuggled into the operational areas and cached well in advance; and the plans were efficiently and resourcefully executed. He would later favorably contrast the Third Silesian Uprising with the indecisive preparations for, and execution of, Poland's takeover of Zaolzie 17 years later, in 1938.
you have a list of references at the bottom, but do you have a specific citation to one or a couple of those references regarding this paragraph? I would like to know which one it comes from.

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.
