User talk:Merangs: Difference between revisions

Hello. You reverted my edit to the etymology section in the article about Warsaw 29 August 2023. Could we please discuss it? What Wikipedia rules did my edit violate? I did provide a source and I think my edit was accurately worded and based on an academic research by a Polish linguist. It might be useful for readers. Your comment for the revert said the information was not constructive and had no source. Denghu (talk) 13:52, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have to say the Gdańsk vote perhaps is an outdated and questionable rule that may need to be revisited. I don't see similar "rules" for Belarus, Ukraine or any other country's city/location in other articles, where such a rule is being push around. At the most at the top of the article, you have other city names in parentheses and that's it. See Vilnius, Helsinki, Lviv, etc. It's just this POV-ish chauvinistic mentality exhibited by some around anything remotely connected to Germany. --E-960 (talk) 12:14, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Merangs! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Sweden that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Re this. In English, you are right, but the infobox does say "Krai of Russian Empire" and it was Kraj / край. Anyway, see the RM at Talk:Western Krai, and cry with me over the terrible state of Krais of the Russian Empire entry... _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:27, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see. I feel like every article of a Polish state, entity or polity has three official names in the lead section. Merangs (talk) 20:43, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited John I Albert, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Burgher and Casimir IV.

What was wrong with my changes? Second Polish Republic didn't end on October 6, 1939 and didn't start on Nov 6, 1918. It's proper to inform that the offical name was different Marcelus (talk) 00:33, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Marcelus: - I think this is a de facto versus a de jure matter, where the latter is much preferred by Wikipedia standards. The 11 of November should stay as the official date as it is widely recognised and a public holiday. Moreover, do you have a source for the 6 of November? I am only aware of the Lublin People's Government being formed then as a prelude to independence. Merangs (talk) 11:40, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article John I Albert you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Borsoka -- Borsoka (talk) 12:28, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please explain what is wrong with the so called "Wikipuffery" I did on the page? Romania is indeed considered an emerging middle power, has the fastest and cheapest fixed internet speeds in the world, and also, it's the happiest country in Eastern Europe, its rank increasing by every report each year.

Look at other pages such as Singapore, South Korea, and also Poland where there is much more "puffery" than Romania. Julian.exe (talk) 13:46, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Happiness reports (unless highly notable for nations such as Finland), internet speed, and trivial data should not be in the lead section at all. I left the part about it being an emerging middle power; this is sourced and significant considering current events in Europe. Merangs (talk) 21:12, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, but why South Korea and Singapore have the part with "fastest internet connection speeds" Julian.exe (talk) 21:15, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article John I Albert you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:John I Albert for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.

Why did you merge SB article (Służba Bezpieczeństwa) into the MBP article (Ministry of Public Security (Poland)) back in the 2020? This were two completely different organisations that didn't even overlap in time. MBP ceased to exist in 1954, SB was created in 1954. I'm literally furious right now. Marcelus (talk) 21:12, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

They can remain under one article as Bezpieka. The article contains information about both UB and SB. I support a name change of the article, if not then a revert of the move. Moreover, they were not that completely 'different'. Also, kindly keep your feelings to yourself please. Merangs (talk) 21:26, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well I won't keep my feeling to myself, because you mixed totally different organisation under the name of one of them. This is vandalism. I think I need to check your other edits. Marcelus (talk) 21:28, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kindly cite me the vandalism clause then and I will agree. The edit was done in Good Faith, like with my other contributions. I can see your history is much more controversial. Merangs (talk) 21:30, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I already you explained your vandalism. You on the other hand accuses me without giving any examples. Marcelus (talk) 21:43, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A POV claim. Regardless, if you do not agree with the edit feel free to revert or change the name of the article as I do not engage in edit wars or wiki conflicts. Unlike others. Merangs (talk) 21:53, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't engage also in spreading false information. I for example don't do that. Marcelus (talk) 22:01, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm doing that. Kartacze have some (but not strong) connection to Podlachia. Sękacz has no connection to Podlachia whatsoever. Both Kartacze and Sękacz are traditional dishes of Suwalszczyzna (Suwałki region/Suvalkija). Using the term "podlachia" to refer to the entire Podlaskie voivodeship is not only untrue, but also harmful to the region. Podlachian section should either be renamed (to Podlaskie or to "Podlachia and Suwałki region") or the reference to Sękacz should be removed from it.

Gonna answer? LEJ PO ŁYMPIE (talk) 20:54, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, I don't know what edit of mine this concerns. I think that before renaming articles you should consult with other users. Merangs (talk) 21:03, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Рlease explain why you removed the portrait? You wrote: "no such title, is this needed?" - The reason for the removal is not clear. Lanamy (talk) 11:40, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is enough pictures as it is. Moreover, your previous caption "King of Ukraine" is not very factual. Merangs (talk) 12:41, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
