Why do you keep inserting the link to that fancy article on the Polish language page? I never-ever heard the word and it's not even in the dictionary... Halibutt 02:53, Jan 10, 2005 (UTC)

Well, if the word is not recognised by the main regulator of the Polish language and it doesn't exist in the Polish dictionaries, then perhaps the link belongs more to the urban myth article - or some similar culture-related page..? Halibutt 21:54, Jan 10, 2005 (UTC)

Szczecin

[edit]

Please do not start a revert war about Szczecin. The language you are using is quite POV and really against the very neutral tone of the whole article. "Repatriated" is a much better word to describe what has happened after the war to the German people living in Stettin and sure "conquered" to describe Red Army's liberation of the city is too strong a word. I will not revert the article to its former version yet, if you don’t agree with my wording please suggest what you would consider to be appropriate but please note I do not agree with the current version.


First, I am very sorry that I apparently screwed up your user page, and I do apologize most sincerely. Whatever I did, it was a mistake, inadvertent and unintended.

Now, as to your comment on my user page (above):

Why is "conquered" too strong a word? Germany and the USSR were at war, savagely so on both sides. Germany was defeated and conquered by the Big 3 allies. Eastern Germany was conquered by Soviet forces. You can't really believe this constituted "liberation" for the residents of these areas -- unless you are an unreconstructed Stalinist, which presumably you're not.

Stettin was a German city at the time. (Not even Emax would contest this.) It was the capital of the German province of Pomerania (German: Pommern), the primary port for Berlin, and it was not close to any prewar border with Poland. As a result of Germany losing the war, Stettin's inhabitants -- all of them who survived -- were indeed expelled. I suppose we could say "transferred," which is a neutral word, but the action itself was obviously not a neutral one, so even this is glossing over reality.

In anticipation of something like this exchange, over the weekend I dragged out my old college textbook on 20th C. European history -- from a box in the garage -- and found the following entry about Stettin/Szczecin:

"In 1945 Russia unilaterally handed over the city of Stettin on the left bank of the Oder to the Poles, who soon converted it into the completely Polish city of Szczecin."

-- C.E. Black, E.C. Helmreich: Twentieth Century Europe: A History. Knopf, New York: 1950, 1959, 1966, p. 696.

At the time this textbook was written, the information summarized in the above sentence above was general knowledge among historians and others concerned with the ramifications of World War II. There was nothing controversial about it. It was a simple statement of fact.

Since then the West seems to have forgotten about some of these details, to the point where one sees casual references to places that were indisputably German BEFORE the Nazi period, and within the 1919-37 borders of Germany, as having been "in occupied Poland." This should concern anyone interested in historical accuracy.

I don't know whether you're a native English speaker, but the use you are proposing for "repatriated" is inaaccurate. "Repatriate" is defined as: "To send back or return to the country of birth, citizenship or allegiance," and gives as it's most typical example "to repatriate prisoners of war." (From Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, the most often used dictionary in the U.S.)

Please notice the words BACK TO and RETURN. The residents of Stettin were not sent "back to" someplace they had been before or "returned" to some country that was different from the one which, until then, their city had been -- they were evicted from their homes in their own country. They hadn't taken these homes from Poles or anyone else; Stettin was their city. The Soviets took it from them and gave it to the Poles.

Whether that was justified given Nazi Germany's aggression, or as "compensation" to Poland for Poland's losses to the USSR (Wilna, Lwow, etc.), is another debate. The point here is simply WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED on the ground. If what actually happened is upsetting to Polish readers, too bad -- that doesn't change history.

Sca 19:58, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Yup, "repatriation" is a typical example of commie propaganda. In both GDR and Poland, those who were forcibly expelled from their homes and sent to some new, alien place were referred to as "repatriated" ("returned to their homeland", although as far as Latin is concerned, they should be called "depatriated", or "deprived of their homeland". Halibutt 03:10, Feb 8, 2005 (UTC)

Not really. Compare what you say with the definition in almost any dictionary. Take Webster for instance: Main Entry: re·pa·tri·ate; Etymology: Late Latin repatriatus, past participle of repatriare

to go back to one's country
to restore or return to the country of origin, allegiance, or citizenship <repatriate prisoners of war>

Neither the root nor the current English meaning have anything to do with forcible expulsion from one's motherland. It's the contrary, to repatriate is to restore someone who has left his motherland. On the other hand those who were "repatriated" after WWII were mostly de-patriated, or expulsed from their homes rather than returned to them.

Of course we could use this word, but still take note that it has been misused by various propagandists at least since WWII and if we are to use it, we should stick to the original sense of the word, not the one created to prove some point or hide some truth. Word is a powerful weapon, said the Satan. Halibutt 10:41, Feb 8, 2005 (UTC)

I see. You don't accept Satan as the highest language authority - fine with me, we'll stick with Humpty Dumpty and Alice from now on :D Halibutt 17:20, Feb 8, 2005 (UTC)

Dear Roo72, How are you today? I am fine.

In response to this message from you on my page …

I don't care about any "compensations" and I don't know why you mentioned them, I only care that the history is represented as it actually happened using words that are not biased and the previous version of that part of the article was IMO biased. We seem to have reached an agreement about "conquered", now let's talk about "expelled":The verb repatriate has 2 meanings: Meaning #1: send someone back to his homeland against his will, as of refugees Meaning #2: admit back into the country and, Militaryrepatriate (DOD) A person who returns to his or her country or citizenship, having left said native country either against his or her will, or as one of a group who left for reason of politics, religion, or other pertinent reasons. Care to explain why this word is not appropriate?--Roo72 20:24, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

… I'm sorry but as a 1) native English speaker, 2) writer, 3) sometime historian and 4) editor, I cannot agree to your use of "repatriate" in this context.

As outlined above, the primary and original meaning of repatriate is to return to one's country of origin. People who are evicted from their place of origin or residence, which until their eviction was part of their country of origin, cannot be described as "returning" to their country of origin. This applies whether those involved are Germans, Poles, Russians, Armenians, Greeks, Turks, Chinese, etc. ad infinitum.

I've mentioned the Webster's definition of repatriate. Here are some others, including one that is irreverent but on the mark:

1. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000: repatriate TRANSITIVE VERB: To restore or return to the country of birth, citizenship, or origin: repatriate war refugees. ETYMOLOGY: Late Latin repatrire, repatrit-, to return to one's country : Latin re-, re- + Latin patria, native country.

2. wordreference.com: repatriation the act of returning to the country of origin

3. freesearch.co.uk: repatriate verb {T}

to send or bring someone, or sometimes money or other property, back to their own country:

-- The government repatriated him because he had no visa.

4. The Urban Dictionary: repatriate "Politically-correct bullshit for DEPORT. The foreigner was repatriated to his home country because he tried to find a job so he could pay his medical bills.

One common use of "repatriate" in historical writing involves diplomats and other foreign nationals present in one country when their own country declares war on the host country. In WWII, Germans in Britain, Brits in Germany, Japanese in the U.S., etc., were "repatriated," usually by being transhipped via neutral countries to their countries of origin. (Some Americans in Japanese hands had other experiences -- as did some Japanese in the U.S.)

I will grant you that "repatriate" is sometimes used in the manner you are employing it, but usually to serve political or nationalistic propaganda. Using "repatriate" to refer to uprooting human beings of whatever nationality from their established homes is political doublespeak and cannot equated with historical accuracy; it is a corruption of the basic meaning from RE and PATRIA.

I hope you having a nice evening wherever you are. Here the sun is shining brightly for a change.

Polish elections

[edit]

Are you an Australian in Poland, or a Polish-Australian, or what? Adam 01:55, 27 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I am curious to know what the history and politics sections of the Polish Wikipedia are like, given the gross Polish-nationalist bias that many Polish editors bring to the English Wikipedia. Adam 02:27, 27 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I do not think that pro-Polish bias of the Polish contributors is any bigger than any other nationalistic bias brought to the English Wiki by other contributors.

I beg to differ. I have dealt with Greek, Turkish, German etc etc nationalists at Wikipedia, but I'm afraid the Poles are much the worst.

But anyway, Polish history pre-WII is pretty uncontroversial and most articles are as NPOV as they should be.

Have a look at the Gdansk/Danzig article history some time!

Thanks. WikiThanks.
Thanks. WikiThanks.
I would like to express my thanks to all the people who took part in my (failed) RfA voting. I was both surprised and delighted about the amount of support votes and all the kind words! I was also surprised by the amount of people who stated clearly that they do care, be it by voting in for or against my candidacy. That's what Wiki community is about and I'm really pleased to see that it works.
As my RfA voting failed with 71% support, I don't plan to reapply for adminship any more. However, I hope I might still be of some help to the community. Cheers! Halibutt 05:10, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

U wielu wikipedystów na ich stronach można przeczytać wiele, o nich samych. Ja nie pisałem o życiu prywatnym. To jest tylko o pracy na wikipedii. Na en-wiki u pewnego usera, nie wskażę adresu, widziałem kilka artykułów doczepionych do brudnopisu, ilustrowanych, z przypisami, z bibliografią. To są artykuły alternatywne wobec tych, które są na wikipedii. Przedstawiają odmienny, to jest nie neutralny punkt widzenia. Nikt mu na to nie zwracał uwagi. Zwrócono dopiero wtedy, gdy dodał kategorie i jego artykuły stały się widoczne wśród "bardzo poważnych" artykułów. Osoba, która zwróciła na niestosowność tego postępowania (tj. kategoryzowania), zapytała tylko: "Nie wiem dlaczego to zrobiłeś?".

WikiProject Poland Newsletter • January 2014 • Issue II
For our freedom and yours

Welcome to the second issue of WikiProject Poland newsletter, the Monitor (named after the first Polish newspaper).

Our Project has been operational since 1 June, 2005, and also serves as the Poland-related Wikipedia notice board. I highly recommend watchlisting the Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland page, so you can be aware of the ongoing discussions. We hope you will join us in them, if you haven't done so already! Unlike many other WikiProjects, we are quite active; we get close to a hundred discussion threads each year and we do a pretty good job at answering all issues raised. Last year we were featured in the Signpost, and our interviewer was amazed at our activity. In the end, however, even as active as we are, we are just a tiny group - you can easily become one of our core members!

In addition to a lively encyclopedic, Poland-related, English-language discussion forum, we have numerous useful tools that can be of use to you - and that you could help us maintain and develop:

  • we have an active assessment department. As of now, our project has tagged almost 83,000 pages as Poland-related - that's an improvement of over 3,000 new pages since the last newsletter. Out of which 30 still need a quality assessment, and 2,000, importance assessment. We have done a lot to clear the backlog here (3 years ago those numbers were 1,500 and 20,000, respectively). Can you help assess a few pages?
    • assessing articles is as easy as filling in the class= and importance= parameters on the talk page in the {{WPPOLAND|class=|importance=}} template. See here for a how-to guide.
  • once an article has an assessment template, it will appear in our article alerts and news feed, which provides information on which Poland-related articles are considered for deletion, move, or are undergoing a Good or Featured review. Watchlisting that feed, in addition to watchlisting our project's main page, is a good way to make sure you stay up to date on most Poland-related discussions.
  • you can also see detailed deletion discussions at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Poland (which is a good place to watchlist if you just want to stay up to date on possible deletions of Poland-related content)
  • we have also begun B-class quality reviews on our talk page, and if our activity increases, hopefully we will be able to institute our own A-class quality reviews. As of now, we have about 500 C-class articles in need of a B-class review. If you'd like to help with them, instructions for doing B-class reviews are to be found in point 10 of our assessment FAQ. In addition to this automated list, you are also encouraged to help review articles from our B-class reviews requested list found here.
  • also, those articles will be included in our cleanup listing, which allows us to see which top-importance articles are in need for attention, and so on. We have tens of thousands articles in need of cleanup there, so if you ever need something to do, just look at this gigantic list. (I am currently reviewing the articles tagged with notability, either proving them notable or nominating for deletion; there are still several dozens left if you want to help!).
  • did you know that newly created Poland-related articles are listed here. They need to be reviewed, often cleaned-up, occasionally nominated for deletion, and their creators may need to be welcomed and invited to our project if they show promise as new authors of Poland-related content.
  • we are maintaining a Portal:Poland
  • automated Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland/Popular pages lists the most popular Poland-related pages from the previous month(s)
  • Breaking news: we are looking for a Wikipedian in Residence for the New York City area. See Wikipedia:GLAM/Józef Piłsudski Institute of America for details.

This is not all; on our page you can find a list of useful templates (including userboxes), awards and other tools!


With all that said, how about you join our discussions at WT:POLAND? Surely, there must be something you could help others with, or perhaps you are in need of assistance yourself?

It took me three years to finish this issue. Feel free to help out getting the next one before 2017 by being more active in WikiProject management :)
