Response
The users who have provided negative feedback have, in some way, been involved with one another. Alternatively, those users have been involved with/in the particular case, WikiProject, or area directly. Those users felt that the amendment request was being prejudiced. I will not specify the names of these users. The users who have provided positive feedback have been completely uninvolved. Those users felt that it needed to be covered in the latest issue, and the style of writing caught their attention, yet gave them an opportunity to come to their own conclusions. I will not specify the names of these users either. That said, all opinions will still be considered in moving forward, but please appreciate that this does not mean that each opinion is widely held or that each opinion can be actioned in practice. I suspect there would be a greater willingness on the part of each user to post their own opinions on-wiki if particpants conducted themselves appropriately from the outset.
On-wiki, you've twice raised a question as to the identity of the user who made the original suggestion - although I appreciate why you wish to know this information, I will not fulfil this request under any circumstances. That said, I can ascertain that the user was also an uninvolved user, and I have no reason to believe this was bad advice or a bad request (especially given that it was made several days before the particular request for amendment existed). For the sake of transparency, the user was already made aware of the on-wiki discussion (and invited to participate) prior to my second response there; the user appreciated why they were requested to participate but declined. As an uninvolved user myself, I fully respect this wish, and it's not my place to reveal their identity. Still, the user has also been made aware of the fact that I am posting here - this enables the user to fulfil your request, if and whenever the user is ready to do so, though whatever means they wish to do so.
There is nothing more I can (or have left to) say on the matter. Ncmvocalist (talk) 05:32, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
Wielbark
I expanded Wielbark article with historical information. Would welcome gramma or format check. --MyMoloboaccount (talk) 18:21, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
Village names
Kossert (p. 138) gives some information about the renaming campaign of 1938. While some renamings were done case by case before and after 1933, the main campaign happened after Erich Koch ordered to "erase" any non-German roots in August 1937. A Commission for "Germanizing foreignlanguage toponyms in East Prussia" (Verdeutschung fremsprachiger Ortsnamen in Ostpreussen) at the Prussian Ministry for Science and Education was established, de:Max Hein and several professors of the Königsberg University were members of this commission. In different districts up to 70 percent of all toponyms were affected until 16 July 1938. HerkusMonte (talk) 09:31, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks. Unfortunately, I can't read German, which is why I was asking for an English language source. Please note that I am not questioning the reliability of this German language source - I am simply interested in the topic and want to read something in English (Polish or Russian or Spanish'd be fine too) for my own personal benefit.talk) 23:35, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
Hey, could you comment on the redirect structure there (in place of Piotrus)? --Illythr (talk) 16:05, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- You can ask this on WikiProject Poland and, I believe, Piotrus, is allowed to reply on the topic there.talk) 23:33, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
Kind words
Thanks for your kind comment on my talk page. It helps; I'm trying to develop the useful boldness. Just met your colleague Piotrus at wikisym conference and had good conversations. Econterms (talk) 00:56, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
