Co oznacza rolled w informacji o naszej spółgłosce wibrującej (vibrating)? linkHalibutt 02:17, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Zasadniczo to samo. Za słownikiem: roll -- make a long continuous vibrating sound. Potocznie mówi się właśnie to roll one's r, rolled r itd. Choć pewnie nie byłoby też źle napisać: rolled (vibrating) r, dla tych, którzy korzystają z angielskiej Wikipedii, ale nie znają angielskiego aż tak dobrze - pozostawiam to Tobie. Kpalion 02:36, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Zmienię spowrotem na vibrating, głównie dlatego, że jest to wyrażenie fachowe a nie potoczne.Halibutt
Hi! Give us some clues about Gothic east of Zagreb: monuments and dates would be a start. Not any easy subject I know. jump in at the deep end! Welcome! Wetman 23:09, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Thanks a lot for fixing the Polish letters in Biskupin! They seemed ok on my computer. Is there any table for the conversion?
How do I re-attach the link to Jószef Kostrzewski -which could do with some fixing up as well...? --Yak 16:19, Mar 14, 2004 (UTC)
- I put a list of codes for "Polish letters" on my user page.
- I also copied your article about Kostrzewski from Jószef Kostrzewski (which I turned into a redirect page) to Józef Kostrzewski. I fixed some diacritics there apart from K. Jad?d?ewski because I can't guess the guy's name.
Not extremely important, but I hope you remember that the main part of Scandinavia wasn't conquered by the Nazis.
--Ruhrjung 14:12, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- You're right, Ruhrjung. I changed it to "much of Scandinavia".

Please see this diff. I removed the paragraph. That is not my paragraph, as can be seen from the page history. It was written by 12.152.8.144. As far as I can tell, their edit on that page, and all their other edits are hoaxes/vandalism. Maximus Rex 18:50, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)~

I'd like to point out that official acronym of SDPL is SDPL not SdPL, please see official party homepage: http://www.sdpl.org.pl/ . I am going to revert those changes. By the way, your version of name: Polish Social Democracy is better than my version. Good thinking! Przepla 18:34, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Lithuanian regions and place-names
Firstly, about
But I think we must include Samogitia, the rather that you used this name in other articles.
The second thing, that the English name for Aukstaiciai is instable, for it is a rare used place-name. I would wish, that all such Lithuanian names should be used in Lithuanian form (as Aukstaiciai in our case). But sometimes a different name form is used.
There is also variation with using or not diacritics. 'Aukstaiciai' also has diacritics in original Lithuanian form and it looks Aukštaičiai.
A similar problem is with usage of Polish variants of Lithuanian place-names in English text. Well, I knew, that Gabriel Narutowicz was born in Lithuania, and I looked to the article (his brother Stanislaw, by the way, was a leader of Polish community in inter-war Lithuanian Republic). But how many articles on Polish history have such place-names, which could have normal references, but which haven't? For such names, which nobody will find on present-day English maps are used. So, Telsze is nothing other, but Telsiai or Telšiai (using the word with a diacritic or without it), a center of a county in Lithuania.
Well, I haven't edited, waiting, what do you think.
--Linas 18:28, 2004 Apr 4 (UTC)
- Thanks for the advice, Linas! I've added Samogitia to the list and to the map as well. As for Aukštaičiai, maybe a Latin name would better (i.e. more readable for English readers) but I don't know it. I've also added Telšiai to the article about Narutowicz.
- In future please don't hesitate to add diacritics to Lithuanian names - I always do so with Polish ones - or to add Lithuanian place names when only Slavic names are given. I think most Polish contributors - who don't write the Lithuanian names simply because the don't know them - should be happy with this as long as you leave the Polish names. --Kpalion 19:48, 4 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Thank you. You are right. The problem on Lithuanian and Polish place-names is reciprocal for us. And maybe one will find in a text, written by a Lithuanian about Lithuanian history, such place-names as Seinai or Suvalkai (Do you know where they are? :-) ). So this thing must be solved, as You and I have said. By the way, I haven't found such things in articles about Lithuania. But not because Lithuanians are such polite or NPOVed. Simply, our team is still not big and articles about Lithuania are often instable and weak, number of ones, written by Lithuanians, is not big to.
- Switching to other point, I would like to use diacritics (and I will do it), but the same situation in articles about Lithuania often stops me. To keep this promise, I should do ma-a-a-ny editions in these articles. When I joined wiki, names in all English texts somehow were without diacritics. Also written by Lithuanians, knowing usage, and in Lithuania article itself. But I'll try.

30-years war
- Kpalion, you have quoted that some Polish soldiers took part in 30-years war (as hired guns, not as help sent by Polish crown), that Russian consider Polish-Russian war part of 30-years war - but still, Poland oficially was NOT participant of the war. I feel the need for different wording - maybe "POland was indirectly involved..." or something like that? Szopen

Good maps

Autobahn
Hi, Freeway, while smimilar is not the same thing as the Autobahn. While both are multi-lane roads, they have different histories, rules and standards. Most people who have driven both actually prefer the Autobahn.--GeneralPatton 09:02, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- You mean freeways in the US are different than freeways in Germany (which happen to be called Autobahn in German). Are freeways in Quebec the same as in France because they're both called autoroutes, and different from those in Ontario? You see my point? They are all freeways with some national differences which should be described and compared. But there's no point organizing it by what the freeway is called in a given language. --Kpalion 09:43, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Motorway
Hi, a Freeway, while a similar concept, is not the same thing as a Motorway. While both are multi-lane roads, they have different histories, rules and standards.
The naming is not the sole difference. Now while an article summarising and comparing the American Freeway, British/Irish/European Motorway, German Autobahn, French Autoroute, etc. may be appropriate, merging all the articles into one is a nonsense. Each heading deserves its own article. A generic article should not try and host ALL information from Motorway, Autobahn, Autoroute, etc.
May I point out, the names are clearly not the sole difference. In many instances, the idea/concept of a multi-lane road was devised independantly and in a different manner in each location.
It's difficult enough to write about "Motorway" while keeping in mind differences in the UK and Ireland for crying out loud! To attempt to have a single article dispensing with individual ones and sufficiently describing each scenario is not sensible, except as a comparison which has a summary section for each concept linking to the relevant articles.

Naming wars
Since you were either directly or indirectly once involved into edits revolving around "proper" naming of cities like Gdansk/Danzig etc i thought you may be interested in my proposition in User:Szopen/NamingWar. I would want to create a way aimed at stopping the revert wars in future - through creating something like a msg (in see also list or header) explaining that's there is compromise and why, and by linking to the article explaining changes of the statuses of the Royal Prussia province (I would prefer it ot have it as separate article, not scatter it in plethora other articles). I would be happy to hear from you. Szopen 09:29, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Your view on Simple Guide(s) to pronunciation
I note that you believe "we do need a standardized 'Simple Guide'." Your opinion, however, was recorded on Wikipedia:Simple pronunciation markup guide under the "Undecided" category instead of "Support".

Dlaczego copyright? Ano dlatego, że nawet jeśli wypuszczam ją jako PD albo freeuse, pozostaję jej autorem i wszelkie prawa autorskie pozostają moimi; licencja określa w jaki sposób rozumieć prawa autorskie, nie zmienia ich.

- Mhm, głównie dlatego, że jeszcze nie zdecydowałem jak zaznaczyć Inflanty (jakim kolorem i jako czyje), a do tego nigdzie nie mogę znaleźć informacji o tym jak przebiegały granice województw w Inflantach.
- Z Gambią było podobnie, książę wysłał tam parę okrętów, założyli na wysepce pośrodku ujścia rzeki fort św. Andrzeja, wynajęli od lokalnych kacyków kawał lądu i zaczęli kolonizować. Oczywiście sprawa się dość szybko potknęła o Potop, ale idea była ze wszech miar słuszna :). A tak z ciekawostek - przez te kilka lat Książę był też jednocześnie lennikiem Króla Polski i jakiegoś kacyka z plemienia Barra... :D [[User:Halibutt|Halibutt]] 04:40, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)
