::It's not about "me declaring my former username" (it's no secret). It's about you using my former username as an intimidation tactic. Newyorkbrad's precise wording was "Skäpperöd, from now on please refer to Volunteer Marek on-wiki only by his current username. This appears to be a reasonable request on his part given the history and circumstances." The part about "given the circumstances" is referring to the fact that you spread my personal details around Wikipedia. Look, it's simple. You were explicitly asked not to use my former username. There was no "unless VM mentions it somewhere" clause in there. Your refusal bespeaks of your entrenched battleground mentality and the personal vendetta you have against me (which is why you were asked this in the first place).[[User:Volunteer Marek|<font color="Orange">Volunteer</font><font color="Blue">Marek</font>]] 08:28, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello

Okay. B-Machine (talk) 17:38, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the help

Thanks for the quick instructions on how to edit Kruszwica's history section. I was reading that section and immediately recognized it as coming from Lewinski-Corwin's book, because I had literally started reading the book earlier in the day. I felt compelled to create a user account for the sole purpose inquiring on how to give credit to this book, but now that I have it will probably try to contribute here and there where I can.

I saw on your account profile you are from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and was pleased to see someone is working towards expanding English based pages detailing the region and it's history.

Thanks again.

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 21:24, 15 June 2010 (UTC) [reply]

Hello Skäpperöd. Somebody suggested that 1938 rename of East Prussian placenames might be a good candidate for WP:DYK, but it's a little short at 1200 characters. Do you think you could expand the article a little bit to bring it to 1500 characters? Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 21:31, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I added a short section on parallel renaming in Silesia. Perhaps the scope and title of the article is better changed to be more general than just East Prussia. BTW, the source I added also has information on the subsequent renaming by Polish authorities after the war which could be useful in the parallel article.radek (talk) 21:56, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Radeksz. It's long enough for DYK now. I suppose you should raise the question of scope and title on the article's Talk page. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 22:23, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I've nominated 1938 rename of East Prussian placenames, an article you worked on, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Wikipedia:Did you know. You can see the hook for the article here, where you can improve it if you see fit. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 22:32, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Peace at fifty?

The 50 DYK Creation and Expansion Medal
Well I look back at your previous DYK entries and notice a fine balance between biographies, wars and treaties. I haven't added them up myself but I'm hoping there are more treaties than wars. On the other hand if there are more wars than treaties then ... could you fix the balance of the scores before you get to 100? More seriously - thanks from me and the wiki. Fifty is a real achievement. Well done. Victuallers (talk) 13:08, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You can set the record straight. Go for it.

Skapperod you are there, what can you tell us about this surge of Neo-Nazi activity in your backyard?

NDR online is interesting, the world has gotten a lot smaller with the internet

BTW I am giving you an opening to point out that most people in Germany today condemn the Neo-Nazis. Too many people in here in the US believe that the Germans are still Nazis. You can set the record straight. Go for it.--Woogie10w (talk) 15:44, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder what record am I supposed to set straight??? You were asking about the "surge", and I am glad you moved the comment here because the article talk page is not suitable for that kind of conversation. First, it is not a surge, rather a small, but persistent annoyance. The neo Nazis here are a small, heterogeneous group. Part of them are violent, loud and seemingly disorganized (small local groups not subordinate to any larger association). The degree to which they actually are neo Nazis varies considerably, some are just using Nazi symbols to some extend but are not really involved with the ideology. Others are members of local NPD groups, who atm are trying to avoid violent acts of their members (with limited success) to present a more right-wing-populist and less Nazi-like image. Others are organized in small splinter parties who periodically get banned and altogether are insignificant and unknown. Politicians and NGOs of all coleurs have been trying to ban the NPD for years now, but the Verfassungsschutz had inadvertedly torpedoed the last ban initiative by infiltrating the NPD to such a degree that the case failed when brought before the supreme court (and only the court has the power to ban parties). The occasional rallies of the far right largely do not consist of local neo Nazis, but of participants who travel there from other parts of the state, and even that way they do not achieve significant levels of particpation. These people are usually escorted by the police from the trains or busses they arrive with, the police then herds them through the prepared route which is usually far away from main roads, take anyone into custody who shows any kind of illegal behavior (pretty much everything to do with Nazism is illegal in Germany), and then escorts them back to the train/bus station and disperse the group. The police is really doing a good job on this. That way, such rallies are barely noted and their impact is about zero. Maybe you understand better now why I do not want that these rallies get an attention here that's being successfully denied to them in RL. Skäpperöd (talk) 16:34, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Mass suicide in Demmin

Hi Skäpperöd, Thanks for your message. It's nice that we were both correct and incorrect. Best wishes, Ericoides (talk) 18:41, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Demmin 1945

Thank you for taking the time to explain the background of the current events in MVP. I now have a better understanding of the political situation there and how it relates to Germany’s tragic past. One observation that I would like to make regarding the You-Tube clips of the marches in Demmin, in my opinion the young people in those public demonstrations may be the target of police surveillance. Based on my knowledge of Germany it could also have a negative impact on their careers.

Thank you again for taking time to answer my postings, wishing you all the best. Regards --Woogie10w (talk) 00:42, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome. The young people are probably not target of surveillance, the ones with the ties - most definetely. Skäpperöd (talk) 17:38, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My point is that the article may attract police attention because the issue of May 8th 1945 is a hot potato in MVP (auf deutsch ein heisses Eisen). In my opinion it would be best to point out the NPD exploitation of the issue and the current efforts of the MVP government to combat Neo-Nazi activity in Demmin. --Woogie10w (talk) 19:50, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I just made an edit at Erika Steinbach. You may want to contribute there since you have access to the German media reports on her resignation. Regards--Woogie10w (talk) 12:10, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds ok. The chapter covers the time when Cossack Hetmanate was allowed to conduct an independent foreign policy trying to secure its brittle sovereignty, while being involved in what could have been an early partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Apparently there was a split in the Polish society at that time with possibly Poland becoming a protestant state. Russia sided with Poland, while it was contradicting the recent treaties with Zaporizhia. The single page that I mentioned is the first of that chapter which covers about three pages. A sort of similar situation situation took place in eastern Poland when the Swedish Karl XII "strolled" through the region. Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 20:49, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template change

I have integrated Template:Campaignbox Livonian War into Template:Livonian War treaties and moved the latter to Template:Campaigns and treaties of the Livonian War. Since it's used twice in your userpages, I thought this notice wouldn't go amiss. For the time being, the campaignbox will remain, but I should want it deleted redirected as soon as possible. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 16:01, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Grandiose. I appreciate your efforts to combine the templates, yet I am afraid that this is not going to get consensus. Campaignboxes always had this fixed standartized width and are supposed to fit under the infobox, also (to my dismay) treaties are not usually combined with battles. I guess it would be a good idea to discuss that at some military noticeboard first, since it would become a precedent for combining further campaign and treaty templates for other wars. My feeling though is that the military guys won't like the idea, that's why whenever I created a treaties navbox I only put an unobtrusive bar on the bottom of the corresponding campaign templates, containing the link, hoping nobody would mind that decent bar...
Personally, I think that treaties are likewise and sometimes even more important than battles for the course of a war, and should be included in campaignboxes. But we are talking MOS and MLHIST traditions here, and I don't have much experience with either.
Another unrelated issue: You removed some footnotes here as "unnecessary" - I disagree. It's better to have more footnotes, since people might want to verify a sentence or gather more information about the respective fact, but may only have access to one of the books referenced. Since wikipedia has unlimited amounts of server space, removal is not necessary - if there are too many footnotes piling up behind a sentence, one can combine them into one footnote instead. I'd like to restore the references. Best regards Skäpperöd (talk) 17:33, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'll put it to wider consensus when I get the chance. (Oh, and the footnotes can stay for now, there's no rush.) Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 20:21, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Livonian War

Huh, most certainly not. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I changed it already. I am pleased with the way the article has developed, do you still want to bring it up one more level? Iirc you mentioned FAC somewhere... Skäpperöd (talk) 19:15, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, although there's no rush. (FA-quality demands a level of detail which if one were to pick and chose which bits one ramped up the detail on, you'd end up with an unbalanced article. Best to leave the article feasible after any change.) Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 22:01, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Request

I'd appreciate it if you could blank or refactor your ArbCom statement here to remove personal attacks and other unfair accusations. EE battlegrounds will not dissipate till editors apply WP:FORGIVE and stop giving others a reason to think "this guy tried to get me at AN(I)/AE/ARBCOM/etc. and now I have to get back at him, or at least show everybody else how evil he is." Each time editor A criticizes editor B, it becomes that much harder for editor B to keep assuming good faith about editor A. On the other hand, each time editor A stays quiet, avoiding criticizing former opponents, the axe becomes buried deeper, not to mention the times where editors A and B compliment each other or collaborate (and on that lines, I am happy to publicly state that I respect your content contributions and activity in copyright project, I wish you to be more active, and have no wish to see you restricted, even criticized, in any shape or form). Please consider that. Thank you, --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 22:59, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Livonian War - GA

‎As you can see there, Livonian War has been promoted to Good Article status. Personally, I think it's a fair wedge above that, but we shall see. Thanks for all your help. What do you think the next step is? I'd like to see it make FA (it would be my first to have contributed significantly to). As part of WP:MILHIST, we have a viable option of peer review (leaving aside A-Class for the moment) which I think would be a good option. The article's come a long way, and there are times the people doing most of the contributing should step back and think about it. What do you think? Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 10:35, 23 January 2011 (UTC) [reply]

Yes, great that we have brought it to GA. I am certainly open to expanding it more, but I can't help with all the MOS stuff required for FA . Skäpperöd (talk) 16:42, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notice

Please do not use my former account name in your edits. I've changed it for a reason, due to off-wiki harassment, as was my right to do so. Since you in particular were responsible for the spreading of the information which outted myself as well as my family members and friends personal info on Wikipedia, you in particular should be extremely careful about these kinds of statements.

I'm extending this notice as a courtesy, since I notified others. In those cases however there was little question that they were acting in good faith. Don't use the former account name and redact instances where you did so recently. Thanks. Volunteer Marek  20:32, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First: The only one who ever posted your alleged real name on-wiki was you. That I once alerted arbcom to a post of yours where you copied part of your inbox on-wiki while proxying for your topic banned EEML-friend Molobo was necessary to record your continuous off-wiki-coordinated tag teaming, and did not involve any outing on my part.
Second, I doubt that you have the right to demand that your former username may not be mentioned anymore: at least with respect to me, you continue the aggressive behaviour and tag teaming that got you in trouble under your former username. That's not a WP:CLEANSTART. If you want a clean start, start clean. Skäpperöd (talk) 15:04, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to ignore the personal attacks and false accusations. Basically, I'm asking you this as a courtesy, like I asked others - none of whom had any problem with it. If you don't want to be courteous, that's your choice, but I will regard such behavior in the future as incivil (not to mention completely unnecessary). Volunteer Marek  16:59, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. You have created File:Flag pomerania.PNG, and I want to ask you for source, that this flag was based on. Especially I'm interested in hue (tint) of the blue colour, and proportions. Thank You for answers. JDavid (talk) 15:34, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if there are any "official" tints or proportions, as it is a regional flag, not a state flag. It is however integrated in the Flag of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, where the Pomeranian blue and white is combined with the Mecklenburgian red-yellow-blue, as are the CoAs of Mecklenburg (Ox) and Pomerania (Griffin). I guess the colors and proportions used in that flag are the only official hint you get, although there may be some official layout from the pre-1945 province of Pomerania (which I suppose would be moot now). The flags actually hoisted throughout Pomerania have the whole spectrum from dark to light blue, though the lightest ones are most probably bleached (plenty of wind, salty air and sunshine here). I don't think it matters much what kind of blue is used, as long as it's blue and white, and I am not sure whether there actually is some official body defining the blue tint. At the flag-of-Mecklenburg-Vorpommern article, I found this useful link though. Regards Skäpperöd (talk) 12:59, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I just realized you are from Pomerania, too, so I apologize for telling you about the wind and salty air here... Skäpperöd (talk) 13:04, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. And page gives us an information that the Mecklenburg-West Pomerania government has made some specification sheet, and I want to find it. But I'm not a German, so it's really difficult for me. I just want to present verifiable information, like legislated, established flag. If it really is. Could you help me? JDavid (talk) 14:53, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know what specification sheet he is referring to either, and since he gave no hint at all, I don't even know where to start searching. It could be an answer to his private request or anything. Skäpperöd (talk) 17:55, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Site gives us the sources like those publcations:

  • Hellmuth Hecker, Günter Hoog : Deutsche Flaggen: Sammlung von Vorschriften zum Flaggenrecht Deutschlands und der deutschen Küstenländer. 1978, ISBN 3-7875-2132-1 = ISBN 978-3-7875-2132-6
  • Jürgen Arndt: Wappen und Flaggen des Deutschen Reiches und seiner Bundesstaaten (1871-1918) ISBN 3-921846-81-1 = ISBN 978-3-921846-81-10 , 3 editions (1979 ... 1988)

list of libraries in Germany:
Hecker & Hoog book
Arndt book only Dortmund

I think those books can help to explain everything. Other good thing could be a sending an email to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Government or email to Landtag Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. JDavid (talk) 19:57, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I found the specification sheet of the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern government, passed on 17 Dec 1996, enacted in May 1998. The flag of the Pomeranian part of the state is accordingly defined as follows:
  • format 25:15
  • blue: CMYK 100/10/0/0; HKS 48; RAL 5015
  • white
The specification sheet is online:
Note that these specifications are the current ones of the MV government - as far as I am aware, no such detailed specification existed before. This is a link to an 1889 encyclopedic entry simply giving "blue/white" as the Pomeranian colors based on a Prussian cabinet's order of 22 Oct 1882 (bottom right). Skäpperöd (talk) 12:26, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Colours

(3:5) Flag of the Vorpommern

I have found a high quality specification the same like links above, but it's PDF file with vector images. So I tried to find an accurate colour from specification, and it was a big problem because:

  •   CMYK 100/10/0/0 -- very very light blue colour
  •   HKS 48 -- little dark blue colour
    (from Corel Draw X3)
  •   RAL 5015 -- dark blue colour
    (from 1st source 2nd source)
  •   RAL 5015 -- dark blue colour
    (from RAL gemeinnützige GmbH)

Because there are such many colour interpretations and none of them is not simmilar with Hellblau (lightblue colour) I have taken colour directly from "Ein Land - ein Bild" PDF file (with vector files)

  •   lightblue RGB 0/168/223 -- Hellblau
    .

But do you have an access to Act Decision on 17 Dec 1996, or Act Law from May 1998? JDavid (talk) 17:17, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The problem with the differing colors is impossible to solve sufficiently because of the differing output devices:
  • CMYK is not the actual color, but a command to mix ink in cartriges - what color you actually get depends on the medium (kind of paper, kind of clothes) you print on or your type of monitor and its settings.
  • In contrast, HKS and RAL are defined color standards, but to actually view them you have to get (buy) samples from the respective institutions/enterprises. And even if you get your monitor to show a color matching HKS 48 or RAL 5015, other monitors won't display them alike except if they are 100% identical with yours in model, condition and settings (impossible).
The solution is, in my view, to lower our standards in a way that we are satisfied with a color somewhat approaching, not matching, HKS 48 and/or RAL5015. You already did a very good job on this with the flag shown above. I fail to see how you would achieve an even better result. Skäpperöd (talk) 13:05, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(2:3) Flag of the Provinz Pommern
Thank You :) I also wondered about File:Provinz Pommern flag.svg. I thought that I would have found a good colour. But every source of good colour is mistaken. For example Marcus Schmöger from FOTW used just CMYK colours from Vorpommern flag specifications, and also had thought that colour was wrong, so he changed him as for his original research. Colour is so also very bright, and not equal with computer screen CMYK. Current colour of this flag is just my mistake, but I think it is compromise between File:Vorpommern flag.svg and FOTW version. Probably the best verifiable result could be blue colour from Jürgen Arndt's (and Hugo Strohl) book. Anyway I made everything that I can. :) JDavid (talk) 14:36, 8 March 2011 (UTC) PS. I think File:Flag pomerania.PNG could be tagged with {{db-f8}} or another.[reply]

To Skäpperöd

Dearest, just would like to express my appreciation and adoration to you after reading many discussion about Pommern. You have many supporters between members of academia and between old pommeranians as well. I wish you good luck and lots of love, S v. Pommern

Thank you. My grandparents had a Tarnow poem at the wall reading
Mötst di nich argern, hett keinen Wiert,
Mötst di blot wunnern wat all passiert.
Mötst ümmer denken de Lüd sünd nich klook,
Jeder hett Grappen, du hest se ok.
Mötst di nich argern, Hett keinen Sinn,
Ward di blot schaden un bringt di nix in,
Ward an di fräten as Qualm un Rook.
Is't nahst vergäten, büst grad so klook.
Mötst di nich argern is Unrecht di dahn,
Haug mal up'n Disch - un glieck is't vergahn.
Kort is dien Leben un lang' büst du dod,
Minsch, blot nich argern, ne, lachen deit good!

Siege of Kolberg (1807)

I sincerely raplied in some detail to 3o requests at Talk:Siege of Kolberg (1807) and I hope this helps alleviate some of the controversy there. I see you have some history of disputes with the editor Volunteer Marek. Perhaps you see him/her as excessively advancing a Polish agenda or of other bad-faith practices, but, really, there is not much in this particular article that is worth a controversy of any kind. Picture sizes and caption details of what to most people are obscure figures from the Naploenoic War seems like only minor details when you probably have a lot more new information to contribute to Wikipedia which isn't covered elsewhere. I am happy to reduce the discontent and lessen disputes if you let me, but I also invite you to consider how much your time is worth and how little this dispute in this article means to 99.9% of Wikipedia readers, or how little these disputes play into the overall message of the article. You have a lot of ability and interest in relevant subjects, it seems something of a detour to me when I see you are worried over a 75 versus 90 picture size of tertiary figures in history. Thanks for your many efforts in this article and to Wikipedia generally, I'll be happy to stay involved here as long as my appearance is valued. Leidseplein (talk) 05:07, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikibreak

I'm afraid due to real life I'll have to stay away from Wikipedia for a few days. Bad timing I know, but the FA looks like it'll be waiting for my return. You could ask for help from others if you want to get as much done as possible in the next few days. Copyeditor maybe? Thanks. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 18:33, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I see what I can do, FA will probably take some time anyway. Enjoy your break. Skäpperöd (talk) 18:38, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I'm back. Do you want to continue with the FA or withdraw it, work on it a bit, then maybe go via A class review? That's what I was thinking, but if you wish to persevere, so will I. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 07:49, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That was a short break...
It's your nom, so you decide. I think it was a bit too early, but on the other hand, that is what I thought about the GA nom, too, and it worked out.
I would not withdraw now, but address the valuable input of Nikkimaria, Renata3 and Dank (the EEML comments don't need to bother you). Renata3 has already said she is going to fix some issues, and she is good at that. I will pay attention too atp, and as I see it, most of the issues are manageable. What none of the commentators monitored so far, but what I regard the main issue with the article, is that the lead is not an accurate summary/introduction and should be rewritten by a native English speaker. Skäpperöd (talk) 11:09, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I am a native English speaker! Seriously, though, perhaps it needs work but I can't do as it is it stands as my work. I'm going to withdraw the, primarily because I can't see it passing even if we account for all the points, it has too much baggage. The list of things needing improvement is helpful - at my talk, Dank suggested I/we take it to A class review, which might be helpful in determining those things which are actually required. The problem with a slightly-off but almost FAC is that when people find actual faults, it encourages them to throw in their personal preferences as well. I'll make sure the withdrawal goes through first though. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 13:56, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ok then, but before you take it somewhere else or put it up for FA again I'd suggest that we wait some time and address everything pointed out at FAR first, without a hurry, and I hope that Renata3 will nevertheless go over the article, too. Skäpperöd (talk) 15:43, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yup, I'm working on it. Might take some time to get the sources through. Essentially I'll try to trime the FAR points to a manageable level before getting further input. It is mostly the suggestions of incompleteness and/or inaccuracy I'm most worried about, so I'll need to find the sources again to cover my back. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 15:47, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Could you possibly replace the Journal of Central European Affairs ref with what you make of this (and potentially the next page). With my OK level of German, it looks to say the same thing, but I think it would be helped as a reference if it was done by an actual German speaker.

3o

Third opinion is used only in discussions between two editors. Since more than two editors are involved in discussion I have removed your request per instructions issued on the start of the page.--MyMoloboaccount (talk) 10:30, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Molobo, 3O is for neutral, outside input. You are not neutral, outside input. Skäpperöd (talk) 11:59, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
A neutral input when two editors are in disagreement. The discussion here is between more than two editors and thus third opinion procedure doesn't apply in this case. Also I didn't agree with everything Volunteer Marek wrote(I suggest that you use the proper name of the editor rather than continue what may violate outying policy).--MyMoloboaccount (talk) 12:23, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Radeksz is the former username of Volunteer Marek. Please explain how mentioning that "may violate outying policy", or redact your accusation at once. Outing is a very serious offence, and you are not supposed to throw accusations like that on people without substantiating that claim. Skäpperöd (talk) 16:50, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I informed the interested party of your behaviour and it is up to him to pursue this further if he feels need to. I don't see any need to further discuss this, since you are exploiting it to continue the problematic behaviour. --MyMoloboaccount (talk) 17:36, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You accused me of outing. I asked and still ask you to substantiate or redact that. If I refer to the EEML case, a I did in the diffs above, I need to refer to Volunteer Marek by his old username Radeksz, simply because there is no Volunteer Marek in the evidence, findings or remedies, even though it is the same, renamed account. User:Radeksz redirects to the new username anyways, and it has to, since the name change occured while he was restricted (and still is) and those name changes are only possible within close limits. Radeksz did not opt for a clean start, he did a simple, open username change. It is nowhere close to WP:OUTING, i.e. posting personal information on-wiki, to point that out. If Volunteer Marek wants the new name used for all instances of his editing history, he has to make sure that the old username is manually replaced by the new one in cases where this is not done automatically, per Wikipedia:Username policy#Changing your username. So I again ask you to redact your outing allegation. Skäpperöd (talk) 19:41, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
From WP:OUTING: It also applies in the case of an editor who has requested a change in username, but whose old identifying marks can still be found. . It doesn't say anything about a "clean start". Your excuse, that you link to my old username simply because you make a reference to the ArbCom case is unconvincing - you can't just throw in a link to an old arbcom case every time you feel like outing somebody and then argue that that makes it ok. You are using my old username in a completely unrelated, irrelevant context. It's harassment, plan and simple, particularly since I asked you explicitly not to use my old username, and particularly since you contributed to originally spreading my personal private information on Wikipedia. I'm gonna give you a chance to redact. Please take that opportunity.Volunteer Marek (talk) 19:58, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Unrelated, irrelevant context? You were found guilty of tag teaming and off-line coordination with Molobo on multiple occasions, as evident from the EEML case - this certainly disqualifies Molobo to provide a 3O pretending to be a neutral party. You are listed in the EEML case as user:Radeksz, and accordingly it is this username that needs to be used if your account is being linked to that case. The quote you provided from the outing policy does only apply to users "whose old identifying marks can still be found", which is not the case here: your post, where you yourself posted private information (incidentally, while proxying for the very Molobo account now providing a neutral "3O" in your support), is oversighted.
Comments like "every time you feel like outing somebody" are way out of line. I have never outed anybody. Skäpperöd (talk) 21:13, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
So you're not going to redact? (And Molobo was obviously not "pretending to be a neutral party" so stop making false accusations. He was merely pointing out that the appropriate DR process in this case was an RfC rather than a 3O. Again, of course you know this.) You are outing me now.Volunteer Marek (talk) 21:24, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I am not outing anybody, and take serious offense in your respective claim. Re "Molobo was obviously not 'pretending to be a neutral party'" and did not provide "a 3O": Molobo said verbatim "third opinion provided", and 3Os need to be given by neutral users only per the 3O requirements spelled out on that very page, and I am sure that this is known to him. Skäpperöd (talk) 22:15, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I am not outing anybody - yes you are. I've given you the chance to remove my personal name from your edits and so far you have been intransigent about it. Your continuing belligerent refusal to deal with this politely and adult-like is a form of harassment or at best is indicative of your battleground mentality. Please redact it.Volunteer Marek (talk) 23:01, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have not mentioned your personal name, I have mentioned your former username, there is a huge difference between these two things. Your other remarks just escalate this non-issue even more, and they reflect more on you than on me. If you want your new username applied thouroughly to all your wiki-history, get it applied accordingly. Skäpperöd (talk) 13:08, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
3o is only for disputes between two editors, and the dispute on the discussion page is between several editors. I mentioned this in my message. I have now clarified this removal since you didn't understood this. Further options remain for you: "Perhaps you should try WP:Requests for Comment or one of the other WP:Dispute resolution options."--MyMoloboaccount (talk) 22:29, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You said verbatim "third opinion provided, the discussion is now between more than two editors". You were not entitled to provide a 3O as you are not neutral, as evident from your long history of tag teaming with one of the disputants in part recorded at WP:EEML. You were not entitled to remove a 3O request when it is this your very "3O" that makes it a discussion "now between more than two editors" (your words, emphasis added). Don't say now that I "didn't understood this", I am a literate person. Skäpperöd (talk) 13:08, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also 3o is quite clear: For more complex disputes that involve more than two editors, or that cannot be resolved through talk page discussion, editors should follow the other steps in the dispute resolution process. I suggest that you do read the pages where you edit more closely in the future. Cheers. --MyMoloboaccount (talk) 12:25, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You also forgot that I made comments regarding the current heavy biased history section way earlier[19] Cheers. --MyMoloboaccount (talk) 12:43, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The linked comment of yours is to another section, not discussing the lead proposals. The section I asked a 3O in was not edited by you when I asked for the 3O, diffs are above. Why do you stand in the way of getting neutral, outside input? Skäpperöd (talk) 16:50, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes you started another section after my comment, that doesn't mean I didn't previously contest your problematic editing, and your When did you stop beating your wife? question is hardly constructive. You are dealing with 3o which is used to solve issues between two users, not several, and your have been debated for a considerable time on discussion page by- again-several users. Starting a new section right after a comment by another user and demanding 3o right away before others involved in the article managed to comment, seems hardly constructive too, come to think of it.--MyMoloboaccount (talk) 17:33, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Even if all your unsubstantiated claims were correct, which I refute, the question remains why you, by posting a "3O" despite being a non-neutral user, prevented a genuine neutreal user from doing so. Skäpperöd (talk) 19:41, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You really should stop using the tactic of asking me if stopped beating my wife Skapperod. The point that this is not a dispute between two editors is quite obvious as is the fact that 3o is not for dispute resolution of several editors but for only two. --MyMoloboaccount (talk) 21:54, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted a 3O, and all I got is this section. Skäpperöd (talk) 13:08, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain why you changed a quote from "An historical geography of Europe, 450 B.C.-A.D.1330" and inserted non-existing text within it

In this edit[20] you changed a quote from An historical geography of Europe, 450 B.C.-A.D.1330 by Norman John Greville Pounds, Cambridge University Press 1973,page 241 The original quote was(and can be confirmed by google books search):

  • "By 1121 Polish armies had penetrated its forests, captured its chief city of Szczecin"

Your edit changed the quote into:

  • "By 1121 Polish armies had penetrated its forests, captured its chief city of Stettin"

Introducing the germanised name of the city which is not named by germanised version in the source text.

I would like to know why you did this? Were any other quotes or text in Wiki articles you edited changed in similar way deviating from original form? --MyMoloboaccount (talk) 18:13, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Per the Gdansk vote, Stettin is used prior to 1945, Szczecin thereafter. Skäpperöd (talk) 19:41, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, per Gdansk vote, Stettin is used between 1308 and 1945. You know this. Why are you saying something which is obviously untrue?Volunteer Marek (talk) 19:59, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There is nothing in the Gdansk vote saying "Stettin is used between 1308 and 1945." It would not make sense either as 1308 has no meaning to this place. Skäpperöd (talk) 21:16, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes there is, as has already been pointed out to you numerous times, yet you're pretending otherwise with a IDIDN'THEARTHAT. Specifically here [21] and here [22]. What this means is that the same rules which apply to Gdansk/Danzig specifically apply to general locations with shared Polish/German history. Yes, 1308 might not make sense for every single one of these but a date's got to be picked and this was it.Volunteer Marek (talk) 21:29, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Stop using that insinuating language. The diffs you provided do not support your claim that "Stettin is used between 1308 and 1945":
  • first diff ([23]) deals with Gdansk/Danzig prior to 1308, not with Szczecin/Stettin
  • second diff ([24]) refers to Szczecin/Stettin, but not with regard to 1308: "The naming of many places in the region that share a history between Germany and Poland are also a source of edit wars. For these places, the first reference of one name should also include a reference to other commonly used names, e.g. Stettin (now Szczecin, Poland) or Szczecin (Stettin)."
Your claims thus remain unsubstantiated. Skäpperöd (talk) 21:37, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This is a direct quote from the book, not Wikipedia content typed by an editor. Did you use Gdańsk vote to manipulate other quotes on Wiki and changed content of other quoted sources to push forward germanised version of city names, even when the sources quotes used other names? I am not asking about Wiki text typed by editors. I am asking if you manipulated other quotes in the same way you did here to show they use germanised names rather then their actual content.

--MyMoloboaccount (talk) 21:44, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since you refused to answer if you manipulated other scholarly quotes on Wikipedia and confirmed that you manipulated the quote on purpose I have picked up this issue on Admin board.[25] --MyMoloboaccount (talk) 13:51, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The exact words of quotations should never be changed. Even spelling mistakes should not be altered. One can add (sic) in brackets after an apparent error or oddity, but that's all. I don't think that would be appropriate in this case. Paul B (talk) 13:59, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Articles

Greetings! First, I wish to congratulate you excellent contributions of yours! As I assume that You are Swedish (as I live myself in Stockholm), it would be interesting to see more of your contributions in subjects like Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. This because I know that in Swedish books, there is another focus on things and situations are described in other way than in many polish publications.
It is naturally that each country write own history from own point of view. I see in this great value to add so it can broaden the articles and raise questions. I have been though many books that I found In Kungliga Bilbioteket in Stockholm where you find every cent spend on the war noted :) By such contribution, we can read story from at least two sides. The more different opinions, the closer to the truth that is impossible to find. Same with German publications if you have access to those.
I can for example tell that in polish publications you generally feel positive opinion about the Jagiellon dynasty in Poland. This view is not confirmed by German or Hungarian sources. In Hungarian sources, the Jagiellons are described more like a catastrophe, also in German publication the notes for this dynasty are very low. Maybe except Jogaila, the first king in Poland of that dynasty that is noted as fair - not bad but nothing exceptional, more like "average ruler". In such way, you can contribute with changing some stereotypes.
It would be interesting to exchange some thought with you on this matter. By the way, did you read Stackelberg's report of Poland during the time of Poniatowski, the last King of Poland? Ok, enough writing, let's celebrate the National Day of Sweden! :)Camdan 12:43, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Hej hej, thank you for your friendly note! From my expierence, nowadays the scholars' perspectives do not depend that much on the scholar's national background, but only on personal assessment. The work groups on a given topic and the scholars' curricula vitae are pretty international, as is the distribution of archives. I won't disclose my nationality here either I am sorry to admit that I have not read Stackelberg. Best regards Skäpperöd (talk) 21:48, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Treaty of Arnswalde

Hello Skäpperöd, I found now that on 31 July the article Treaty of Arnswalde was shifted to Treaty of Choszczno with the argument that in the case of the Danzig/Gdansk question the vote had come out in favour of Gdansk. But this is a quite different matter. At the time of the treaty the place certainly was called Arnswalde, not Choszczno. Does there exist general consense for this rather strange modification?

Based on Polish research up to 1998 Boockmann gives a number close to a hundred dead Try as I might, I can't find anything about research in Poland up to 1998 in the source you gave. Where is it? --MyMoloboaccount (talk) 18:42, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited Teutonic takeover of Danzig (Gdańsk), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Thirteen Years' War (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

IBAN authorship

Your comment at WP:AE is clearly incorrect. Please see my explanation here [27] and strike your erroneous comment.VolunteerMarek 07:32, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article to which you contributed is almost B-class, but needs a few cite requests addressed. If they aren't, we will have to downgrade it to C-class. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 15:45, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Refactor request

Please refactor your comment about me at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Volunteer_Marek_and_MyMoloboaccount. I consider it highly offensive. Thank you, --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 15:51, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Refactor please

Per this injunction by Newyorkbrad [28] please remove any mentions of my former username accordingly.VolunteerMarek 20:27, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No. NYB's comment was neither an injunction, nor is that really an issue anymore since you openly declared your former username as recently as 26 Jun 2012. See [29]. Skäpperöd (talk) 08:20, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It's not about "me declaring my former username" (it's no secret). It's about you using my former username as an intimidation tactic. Newyorkbrad's precise wording was "Skäpperöd, from now on please refer to Volunteer Marek on-wiki only by his current username. This appears to be a reasonable request on his part given the history and circumstances." The part about "given the circumstances" is referring to the fact that you spread my personal details around Wikipedia. Look, it's simple. You were explicitly asked not to use my former username. There was no "unless VM mentions it somewhere" clause in there. Your refusal bespeaks of your entrenched battleground mentality and the personal vendetta you have against me (which is why you were asked this in the first place).VolunteerMarek 08:28, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
