Wikipedia and copyright

30px|link=|alt=Control copyright icon ↗ Hello Brat Forelli! Your additions to :Acts of Union 1707 ↗ have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain ↗ or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible ↗ copyright license. (''To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission ↗''.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright ↗ and plagiarism ↗ issues.

You can only copy/translate a ''small'' amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation mark ↗s (") and cite the source using an inline citation ↗. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content ↗ in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners ↗, for how to cite sources here.

Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information ''in your own words and structure'', in proper paraphrase ↗. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems ↗, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing ↗. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify ↗ the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research ↗.

We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use ↗ images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria ↗ in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.

If ''you'' own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you ''may'' be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, ''to the world'', into either the public domain ↗ (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible ↗ copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials ↗.

Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia ↗. See also Help:Translation#License requirements ↗.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked ↗ from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.  — Diannaa (talk) 21:15, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Change to publication year

Can you please explain why, in your revision of 14:13, 11 May 2023 ↗, you changed the publication year for Kennedy's biography of Saint Francis from 2005 to 2004? Thank you. Fabrickator (talk) 08:52, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

:Hello! Yes, I expanded the "Religion" section of this page, and initially wrote 2005. However, in the "Selected works" section, I saw that 2004 was given as the publication year of this biography, so I changed it to be consistent with that. Brat Forelli (talk) 09:12, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Article you might be interested in

Hi @Brat Forelli. Not sure if you remember me but I gave you the Saints barnstar a little while ago.

As it seems you've got something of an interest in the interplay between religion (particularly Catholicism) and politics/society, I thought I'd bring another article to your attention that you might like to work on. Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence ↗ has major WP:Tone ↗ concerns, and I think it fails to be a cohesive whole, rather than just a stream of information.

I've done a bit of work on it (and plan to do some more), but any help would be appreciated. Tomorrow and tomorrow (talk) 02:31, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

:Hello, I do remember you! Thank you for the suggestion, I'm currently expanding Relations between the Catholic Church and the state ↗ as it only had rather very questionable claims about the church, but it also had no sources. Unfortunately, the relations between the Church and historical regimes are a very expansive topic and I keep finding tons of books about it. But I'll get there eventually, I already wrote a lot.
:I worked a bit on the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence ↗, just as you asked me to - not sure if this helps though. If my edit was unhelpful or you believe I need to do better, let me know! Brat Forelli (talk) 12:42, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
::Hi! Thanks for the response.
::Yes, I've seen your work on Relations between the Catholic Church and the state ↗, that's awesome. I've actually raised the idea of merging that article into Catholic Church and politics ↗ here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Catholicism#Merger:_Catholic_Church_and_Politics_+_Catholic_Church_and_the_state ↗. I'd love to get your thoughts on that, but no stress.
::Edits on Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence ↗ were great, thank you so much. I'll just keep an eye on that page going forwards, so I can try and keep it NPOV. Tomorrow and tomorrow (talk) 01:15, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hi Brat Forelli! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at :Slavic Union ↗ 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.

Silesian language

I have been restoring edits representing the other side of the argument you deleted, because the article is currently clearly weighted toward one perspective and requires further balancing. The quotation I reinstated was appropriate, as it balances quotations from other side, also it is taken directly from the source, Professor’s own words, rather than retelling by someone else, or a comment made by a random person, it is not different than quoting a Professor speaking publicly recorded on video. As for the descriptions added by the previous editor, it can be argued that including terms such as “opposed to nationalism and chauvinism” and can be deleted. I also want to clarify that the edit was not highlighting only one side, but rather adding further relevant details to an article that is currently heavily weighted in one direction. The intention is to improve balance, not to promote a particular viewpoint, which now this page is doing. The article will need a lot of new sources of the other side to become balanced.
:Hello {{reply to|Jeanie0945}}, it appears something went wrong with your message. You are supposed to click the "new section" button, and you should also make sure that your talk page post is signed by writing <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. Unfortunately, you ended up writing an unsigned message in the middle of my talk page that I could barely find. But hey, this is Wikipedia, you will get the hang of it.

:Claiming that {{tq|the article is currently clearly weighted toward one perspective and requires further balancing}} is quite a serious statement and I would ask you to try and get a WP:CONSENSUS ↗ for this, which is preferably done via the article's talk page. I do not share your view that the article needs "balancing", so it will be you against me and other editors. You also need to keep in mind how we judge what is a WP:RS ↗ or not. A YouTube comment is never reliable/usable, especially since there is no way to verify the identity of the account. If the author you want to cite has any relevance in the debate, then I am sure you can find an academic text from him. But so far you've been posting articles related to political laws/elections rather than linguistic academic journals. And lastly again, weasel words like {{tq|many prominent, well-respected scholars}} have no place in Wikipedia. IF they are prominent and well-respected then you need to find a source for that and attribute that (i.e. "According to X, Y is a "prominent, well-respected scholar"). That you consider anyone so is irrelevant given WP:YANARS ↗. '''''Brat Forelli'''''🦊 00:19, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

1993 Polish parliamentary election ↗

Hello. Re your addition of more detailed Senate results, did you get them by collating the figures in the NEC report to get the numbers you just added to the results table, or did you copy the numbers from the pl.wiki article assuming they were from the NEC? Election Passport ↗ has a tabularised version of the NEC report, and the numbers it has (which I am collating at the moment) are different to those on pl.wiki. For example, it has a total of 2,683,085 for Solidarity, which matches the Nohlen & Stöver total.

I was also really confused by how you got the numbers you added previously (e.g. 2,578,885 votes for the SLD), as they are not in the NEC source cited. Where did they come from? Cheers, Number 57 ↗ 14:11, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

:Greetings. I am sorry for the confusion caused, I have been writing/expanding articles for 1990s Polish political parties recently and thought it might have been a mistake.
:I will leave it then, maybe add a text in the future that explains the situation that took place in the Senate election, should I find a reliable source.
:The numbers I previously added were my attempt at tallying up the votes from the NEP thing, with the assumption that if it says "Głosów ważnych oddano 13 985 535" then I would need to get exactly that amount of votes.
:Thank you for your help and sorry for any trouble! '''''Brat Forelli'''''🦊 14:18, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
::No worries. I managed to collate the details from the NEC source (which was reproduced in copyable format elsewhere) and added it to the article. Cheers, Number 57 ↗ 16:40, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia doesn't let me reply in the Worker's Front discussion page.
Anyways, the thing I want to say is short: All sources citing the Worker's Front as communist are mostly opponents of it, in fact, if you look at their newspaper or its chairman's videos, they never proclaim themselves communist, and even explicitly reject that denomination. While the founder is communist, the coalition FO is isn't. WillyElSalami (talk) 12:37, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

:Thank you for message and I am sorry to hear that you were unable to respond in the talk page anymore. Not sure what happened.
:To address your points, I understand them, but we also have to follow the Wikipedia policy. You mentioned that the Frente Obrero does not self-identify as communist, although the party's leader is a communist, and the party is heavily associated with the Marxist–Leninist Party (Communist Reconstruction) ↗. Well, this is the issue of WP:PRIMARY ↗ - basically, what the party says about itself is a primary source. And primary sources are not considered reliable. They can be used if there is no other way, but in the case where they are contradicted by secondary and tertiary sources (think media reports and political journals), then we trust the tertiary sources.

Estado Novo

So, I just want to give more context to this dispute.

To begin with, the Estado Novo regime has been labeled as fascist on Wikipedia since 2008: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fascism_in_Europe&oldid=222483665 ↗

Regarding the Estado Novo article itself, the disputed category (which was created in 2016) was present in the article since November 2017, and it was present in the article too, when JPratas made his first attempt to remove the label on 6 April 2019: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Estado_Novo_(Portugal)&diff=prev&oldid=808661821 ↗

For the National Union article, the label was on the infobox since December 2018: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=National_Union_(Portugal)&diff=prev&oldid=864931050 ↗

The last one might be a bit more controversial, since it was not long before the dispute began, but it is worth noting that the status quo was defined (in JPratas's talk page) as the last older version before JPratas made his first changes, it was also agreed that the result of the RfC would be applied to all articles related to the Estado Novo regime.

I would like to add that JPratas has quite a history of disruptive editing, to begin with, when he first initiated this dispute, he edit warred several times and ended up being blocked for two weeks (though this was later reduced to 3 days). He also tries to bludgeon discussions and often ignores what his own sources say if they don't support his point, as some users pointed out here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Fascism_in_Europe#Portuguese_Estado_Novo_is_not_considered_fascist_by_the_majority_of_academic_source ↗

In February 2022 an RfC was held over whether Franco's regime should be labeled "fascist", this time around there was a much clearer consensus for the "fascist" label, a few weeks later it was closed, yet JPratas went to the closer's talk page in order to get it reopened, for the sole reason he didn't like the result, and succeeded, it was closed again in March, and once again he tried to pressure the closer into reopening it, but this time around he failed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Francisco_Franco/Archive_6#RfC:_%22Fascist%22_categories_and_sidebar ↗

He even went to the Administrators' Noticeboard to challenge the closure, even though all rules were followed, again, this was simply because he didn't like the result: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive341#Challenging_a_closure_of_RfC ↗

And even after that, he still tried to make POV edits using unreliable sources, which were promptly reverted by other users.

Sorry for bothering you with this, but I just wanted to give some context to this dispute which I believe is important. -- 2804:29B8:5183:100C:9C58:D768:C91D:AC6E ↗ (talk) 22:40, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Salazar

Sorry for bringing this up again, but I would like to see your response to my comment above regarding the Estado Novo.

Shining path

Hello, a question, the word "terrorist group" is best avoided unless it is widely used by reliable sources to describe the subject, I think that in the article Shining Path mentions it several times by reliable sources, so I don't understand the reversal. Hastengeims (talk) 21:00, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

:Hello - sure, I will explain it to you. I advice you to check out the talk page of ETA ↗, including the archive of it, since the problem of the word "terrorist" appears there basically every month, and yet their description remains the same.
:Let me show you MOS:TERRORIST ↗ on this again - {{tq|are best avoided unless widely used by reliable sources to describe the subject, '''in which case use in-text attribution.'''}}
:What this means in practice, that it's {{tq|"Euskadi Ta Askatasuna was an armed Basque nationalist and far-left separatist organization in the Basque Country between 1959 and 2018, with its goal being independence for the region."}} Any addition of "terrorist" to this will be reverted and keeps getting reverted. A bit lower we have this: {{tq|ETA was classified as a terrorist group by France, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and the European Union.}} '''THIS is the in-text attribution.'''
:If we look at the page of Shining Path, the in-text attribution is already present there as well: {{tq|The Shining Path is regarded as a terrorist organization by the government of Peru, along with Japan, the United States, the European Union, and Canada.}} This is as far as we can go.
:In other words, as you can see, we as Wikipedians have no right to present "terrorist" as an undisputed fact, as a label that someone simply meets. We can say that X countries or organizations consider someone or something terrorist, and attribute it to them. But we cannot present it as undisputable truth. Cheers.

Hello!

As per the latest discussions, I'm sorry if I made a too harsh response. I was ashamed by it with your kind answer.

Probably since two pages are too interrelated, someone is trying to agenda-push it, and I was too unlucky to write a new page just in time.

I'm grateful for your efforts to find the truth, and I apologize for my prior aggressive comments.

:Thank you for the honest and considerate message. I do not think it was wrong of you and you have a right to be upset. On a human level, it is perfectly understandable. You wanted to make a positive, well-intentioned contribution with the Balkan Spring ↗ article, and here I came with AfD, which you would understandably see as destructive, and something that disregards both your work and intentions. And when you were notified about the ANI, you could obviously think - "first he's trying to delete my article, and now he's accusing me of sockpuppetry?!"
:And so, I perfectly understand. You can see the AfD as hostile, let alone requesting a usercheck on you in regards to the IPs. The fact that I completely forgot about the ANI notice also adds up to that. So I apologize and I do regret both the AfD and ANI. After all, I could have just talked to you and tell you why the article is too problematic as of now, and ask you to draftify for now. I also could have tried to save it instead of trying to delete it. Instead I acted in a "lawful evil" way, just trying to follow Wikipedia guidelines, and I can't help but understand why it would be seen as almost passive-aggressive. There are many ways in which I could've acted better, and I didn't, and I take responsibility for that.

The ODŚ is no longer active; the New PL hasn’t been active for almost 2 years, too. Both of their regional councilors were representatives of the Modern, and thus we shouldn’t consider them ODŚ councilors nor should we include the ODŚ in the Civic Coalition alliance’s composition.

Top sentence of the "Silesian language ↗" article

Right now, the first sentence in the top is still not very clear, and the grammar is not good.

''I'm telling you this, because you changed the wording, but it seemed like the edit was incomplete. I don't know what you wanted the text to look like.'' It looks like this:

'''Silesian''',{{efn|* {{langx|szl|link=no|ślůnsko godka}} (Steuer's alphabet ↗), {{lang|szl|ślōnskŏ gŏdka}} (Ślabikŏrzowy szrajbōnek ↗), {{IPA|sla|ˈɕlonskɔ ˈɡɔtka|}}

{{langx|pl|język śląski}}, {{lang|pl|śląszczyzna}}

{{langx|de|Schlesisch, Schlonsakisch}}}} occasionally called '''Upper Silesian''', considered either a dialect of Polish or language which originated from Old Polish ↗, of the West Slavic group, spoken by people in Upper Silesia ↗.

Issues I find are:

# There is no verb.
# "of the West Slavic group" and "spoken by people in Upper Silesia ↗" look to me like dangling modifiers ↗.

Just edit it, to make the sentence better.

If you want to see, my two ideas are (WARNING: I'm not a native English speaker):

①: '''Silesian''',{{efn|* {{langx|szl|link=no|ślůnsko godka}} (Steuer's alphabet ↗), {{lang|szl|ślōnskŏ gŏdka}} (Ślabikŏrzowy szrajbōnek ↗), {{IPA|sla|ˈɕlonskɔ ˈɡɔtka|}}

Your source analysis on the ACP article

…makes me want to heavily edit the political positions section. As you note, some sources don’t refer to the party or are unreliable; the way others are framed, e.g. who the opinion is attributed to, means work. Do you think I should wait until we’ve concluded the discussion you initiated? BobFromBrockley (talk) 12:13, 8 January 2026 (UTC)

:Hello @Bobfrombrockley, I really appreciate your willingness to work on the article! I also appreciate the message.
:The article is indeed in bad shape in that if one closely inspects the sources and inspects Wikipedia guidelines, a lot of claims made fall apart. This is a result of some factors:
:- the article itself was previously created and deleted twice as it was not considered notable enough for Wikipedia - it was eventually deemed notable by mid-2025;
:- because of the need to prove its notability, the users who wrote it adopted an "anything-goes" approach that threw blogs, opinions, and even tweets and videos (though I took care of most of those), creating a mishmash;
:- the subject is polarizing and so the editors that work on it tend to have diverse goals in minds, contributing to the mishmash above;
:- there used to be a separate article for "MAGA Communism" (IMO there should be since it actually has more coverage than ACP itself), and when it got deleted over non-notability, its contents were salvaged and moved to this one.
:I also bear guilt because I follow the rule of not deleting content unless it is seriously problematic, and instead adding it. After all I can understand why emotionally someone would be attached to their work. That being said, yeah, the political position here is porous, a user moved (and added) sources and put it into three paragraphs, for "syncretic", left, and right takes subsequently. Problem becomes that the cases made are paper-thin, either describing Hinkle, Haz Al-Din instead of ACP (and I showed, the precedent is that leader's views =/= party views), speak of "MAGA Communism" instead of the party, or the WP:OR ↗ problems (most notably regarding "syncretism", which solely depends on personal interpretations of what the sources meant because no source uses that word).
:But anyway, the best course of action would be to wait until the discussion concludes. This could happen if either we get a strong enough agreement for/against, or if there's inactivity (minimum for a week). I hope my case is strong enough since I deal with "exotic" political parties and their coverage in academic sources daily, and I've seen communist parties of similar profiles to ACP like the Workers' Front ↗, Black Hammer Party ↗, Polish Communist Party ↗ and the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia ↗ (which is pro-Trump),<ref>{{bulleted list|{{cite book |title=The Palgrave Handbook of Radical Left Parties in Europe |editor1=Fabien Escalona |editor2=Daniel Keith |year=2023 |isbn=978-1-137-56264-7 |doi=10.1057/978-1-137-56264-7 |publisher=Palgrave Macmillan |chapter=The Eastern European Context |first=Luke |last=March |author-link=:es:Luke March |page=622 |quote=The Marxist-Leninists within the party perceive a ‘Third World War’ as a ‘class war against Russia’.

I think this can be an emotional topic for some because I've noticed that there's a tendency to see "the left" and "the right" as moral judgements instead of neutral descriptors, thus one could feel a need to deny the "left-wing" label to ACP. On a personal level I can understand that, but we are supposed to be more neutral - and accept that "the left" itself is a broad spectrum, one exemplary absurdity of it being the fact that "the left" encompasses both Marxist and anti-Marxist political movements.

Hi Brat Forelli, you did a great job in the article Senate Pact 2023, thank you so much! But if you don't mind, I have a few suggestions: firstly, Poland 2050 has 5 senators and the Polish Coalition 7 senators (including Józef Zając) but perhaps we should just keep number of seats for the Third Way, because despite being generally dissolved there is still the parliamentary group for the TD with 12 senators? Secondly, we should probably enlist the Polish Coalition members in the infobox, similarly to the Composition section, namely its more "formal" members are the PSL, the UED, the Centre for Poland, and the Young Poland, while the remaining parties support the KP; it should be done just like with the KO and The Left, I think. Lastly, the ŚPR (Silesian Regional Party) was deregistered, and decided to dissolve in December 2025 (its remnants registered a new party Regionaliści); should we include "(defunct)", or "(deregistered)"? Could you update it, please? Thanks once again! TaurenMoonlighting (talk) 16:06, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

::Thank you so much for all your efforts! From what I've seen, you've been doing a great job not only on articles about Polish political parties, but across many other topics as well. One small thing caught my attention, though: there appears to be a minor mistake in the infobox regarding the Polish Coalition, namely, the "supported by" field is now duplicated. One possible solution would be to format it in the same way as for the KO or The Left, i.e. by making a bulleted list of its members (let's say, numbered 1–4), while keeping the supporters below (btw, I couldn't get bullets to display for supporters for some reason; I tried when experimenting with the KO infobox section but failed). If you have time to do so, I'd appreciate it a lot, since I can't myself right now (I hate mobile edits, lol). If not, no worries; I'll come back to it later anyway. PS. It seems another update may be needed fairly soon: Hołownia's successor as leader of Poland 2050 is expected to be elected no later than 31 January. Once again, thanks for everything!

::::It looks like the party election results have finally been clarified after a prolonged period of uncertainty, so we should update the table in the Composition section. I was also wondering whether it might be worth mentioning in the article that there were two by-elections, both won by Pact-backed candidates: Stanisław Pawlak from The Left and Monika Piątkowska from the Civic Coalition (with Poland 2050 being the only party not supporting her).

::::::You did a really great job – I appreciate it, my friend. If you don't mind, I wanted to ask about a few minor things that have been on my mind for a while. Do you think it's worth clarifying (e.g., in brief footnotes) that at the time the Senate Pact was formed: what is now the Civic Coalition party (not to be confused with the broader electoral coalition of the same name) hadn't existed yet, as PO, .N and iPL were still separate entities, which later merged into KO; Jacek Karnowski was the leader of Yes! For Poland; and The Left was co-led by Włodzimierz Czarzasty and Robert Biedroń? Also, is it relevant that senators from the Pact officially endorsed Rafał Trzaskowski during a press conference (with the Pact logo visible on their placards) in the presidential election?

:::::::::Hi again Brat Forelli, I hope you've been doing well. Your prediction has proven accurate: today, several Poland 2050 MPs announced they're leaving the party to form a separate parliamentary group, while remaining part of the governing coalition. During a press conference, Piotr Masłowski confirmed four senators left the Third Way Senate Group (three of them joined the newly established one, while Mirosław Różański will remain independent for now); importantly, he explicitly stressed they were all elected as Senate Pact candidates. Thus, Poland 2050 will now have only one representative in the upper house. Given that this move involves senators, we should probably update the Pact composition table and infobox to reflect the change; i.e., if I understand the situation correctly, this would mean reducing Third Way's total by four seats (three transferring to the new group and one listed as independent). PS. We could also consider wikilinking the word 'merged' to the article on their unification congress in the footnote regarding KO and perhaps mentioning the Marshal and four Deputy Marshals from the Senate Pact (including a Poland 2050 member). I hope you don't mind me bringing this up, and that you'll find the suggestions reasonable. What are your thoughts? Many thanks in advance for your help, my friend. TaurenMoonlighting (talk) 16:00, 18 February 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::EDIT: Important correction! It turns out the senators of the new parliamentary group and Gen. Różański will remain members of the Third Way Senate Group (see https://x.com/piotr_maslowski/status/2024112700507177309); therefore, I suggest listing Centre as a separate entry in the infobox (Mirosław Suchoń has announced that an association will also be established soon), while placing it within Third Way in the Composition section.

By the way, I noticed the KO article was moved from KO (Poland) to KO (political alliance) – perhaps we should update this in the lead, the infobox, and the composition table as well for consistency and clarity? What do you think, my friend? I really appreciate your work – thank you! TaurenMoonlighting (talk) 19:00, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::::Thank you, I really appreciate it! I am sorry about forgetting to change the seats count of TD, I fixed it now. It is interesting to see that a user moved Civic Coalition (Poland) ↗, but I think it makes sense. I updated the links so it does direct directly to the new page instead of the redirect! I also included Civic Coalition unification congress ↗ in the footnote. Thank you for the amazing suggestions, and I hope you're doing great. I appreciate your tips, dear friend!

:::::::::::::::Hi again, my friend. It seems a joint Senate caucus of New Poland and Centre has been formed. It now has seven senators, with Gen. Różański also joining them (see https://wiadomosci.gazeta.pl/polityka/7,197990,32669240,w-senacie-powstal-nowy-klub-chetnie-przyjmie-tez-jacka-wlosowicza.html). Senator Fedorowicz confirmed they remain part of the Senate Pact (see https://wiadomosci.onet.pl/kraj/polityk-oglasza-powstanie-nowego-klubu-w-parlamencie-walka-na-zyletki/cs4mzs5). This definitely complicates the composition table, haha. What do you think? TaurenMoonlighting (talk) 16:30, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::That's some extra work alright. Fascinating decision! I'm on it. Thank you for informing me, my friend! '''''Brat Forelli'''''🦊 16:34, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::::Handled! I got to admit, things are getting a bit complicated now... Well, I think what I did is accurate enough! '''''Brat Forelli'''''🦊 16:53, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::::You've done a fantastic job! Many thanks, my friend. Just a small correction: the joint caucus consists of 7 senators, while the Third Way Senate Group now has only 8 members. Easy to get mixed up, haha. TaurenMoonlighting (talk) 23:00, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::::It seems the joint caucus may further expand soon (see https://wiadomosci.onet.pl/kraj/nowa-polska-centrum-zyska-kolejnych-czlonkow-trwaja-rozmowy/dkjx4nq). Reportedly, Senator Włosowicz, who was expelled from PiS, might join. Interesting… Have a good day! TaurenMoonlighting (talk) 20:05, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::::::Thank you for helping me, I have corrected the number of senators! Wow, looks like this is, as a Polish journalist would say, ''sytuacja rozwojowa''... Let me know when you need me again! '''''Brat Forelli'''''🦊 20:09, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::::::Hey my friend, it's been a little while, and quite a few things have happened in the meantime. First of all, Senator Tomasz Lenz has been expelled from the Civic Coalition parliamentary caucus, so there are now 42 KO senators rather than 43 (see https://www.pap.pl/aktualnosci/senator-tomasz-lenz-wykluczony-z-koalicji-obywatelskiej-krotka). That would probably require an update to the composition table. Since he was the Senate Pact candidate, I suppose he should be listed as an independent, meaning there would now be 1 non-partisan senator instead of 0. There's also been a page move concerning Centre – the article is now at Centre Poland. Thus, it might be worth updating both the infobox and the table to reflect the current name (perhaps including the Polish-language version in the Composition section as well). I was also thinking Citizens of Poland might now fit better among the groups supporting The Left in the infobox. While they did collect signatures for all opposition electoral committees back then, they have lately become quite critical of Donald Tusk. At the same time, their leader, Paweł Kasprzak, ran on the New Left list in the 2023 election and recently even described Włodzimierz Czarzasty as a "statesman". As for the All-Poland Women's Strike, they have also recently been criticizing the governing coalition (though notably not New Left itself), so perhaps they can still remain where they are (at least for now), but it may be something worth keeping an eye on, as their criticism of Tusk's government seems to be intensifying. I'm not entirely sure what to do with the Alliance of Democrats, however. Officially, they endorsed Rafał Trzaskowski in the presidential election and some of their figures (e.g., Stanisław Schupke from the party's National Executive) became involved in the Civic Coalition campaign. On the other hand, SD leader Paweł Piskorski quite frequently criticizes Donald Tusk, so perhaps it would make sense either to remove them at this point or to clarify their status somehow. What do you think? If you happen to have some free time and would be willing to take a look at it, I'd really appreciate it. As always, many thanks for everything, and best regards! TaurenMoonlighting (talk) 16:00, 22 May 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::::::::Hello there! Nice to hear from you again and I hope you're doing well. Thank you so much for letting me know, I've read what you wrote and did as follows:
:::::::::::::::::::::* Updated KO's senators count, identified Lenz as the (sole) independent Senator within the pact;
:::::::::::::::::::::* Moved Citizens of Poland as supporting The Left rather than the Pact in general;
:::::::::::::::::::::* Removed Alliance of Democrats, you're right that their support can be questioned at this point. '''''Brat Forelli'''''🦊 23:13, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

Silesian Prayers

When changing the source of the Silesian Our Father that was on the Silesian Language page approximately 3 months ago, make sure to actually keep to the request given and add a "better source (needed)", the source you input was not better, as It was from Ukraine and had no stated mention of where they'd get the information from - Also, not a single Silesian source will ever show you the word "Uojtrze" and "Nan" to exist - If I understand correctly, it's meant to be "Uojcze nosz", however "Uojciec" is still the less common version compared to "fater" - which is both in the Gliwice dialect and the Opole dialect - the 2 that are claimed to be "Silesian" - If you want to add the Our Father you have been adding, find the dialect it's written in, and add it on the dialect's page, not on the overall Silesian, as neither Gliwice or Opole use "Uojcze" more commonly than "Fater", or any other speaking forms when praying to God that doesn't include "Trojenie". The Ukrainian source you gave was most likely translated directly word for word from Ukrainian, which is why there's so much errors. TruthfulSpeech (talk) 11:08, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

:{{tq|the source you input was not better, as It was from Ukraine}}
:@TruthfulSpeech What does the location have to do with anything? Non-English sources are allowed on Wikipedia per WP:NONENG ↗. If you claim that source for Silesian must be from Silesia, this has no reflection in Wikipedia guidelines, sorry.
:{{tq|had no stated mention of where they'd get the information from}}
:They don't have to. Look at WP:SOURCE ↗:
:''Editors may also use material from reliable non-academic sources, particularly if it appears in respected mainstream ↗ publications. Other reliable sources include:
:* '''University-level textbooks'''
:* Books published by respected publishing houses ↗
:* Mainstream (non-fringe ↗) magazines, including specialty ones
:* Reputable newspapers''
:The source cited IS a university-level textbook.
:{{tq|If I understand correctly, it's meant to be "Uojcze nosz", however "Uojciec" is still the less common version compared to "fater"}}
:The guidelines we're supposed to follow is that we have to reflect what the sources say. Showing knowledge of Silesian as proof would be WP:YANARS ↗.
:{{tq|The Ukrainian source you gave was most likely translated directly word for word from Ukrainian, which is why there's so much errors.}}
:The thing is, anyone here, as per our guidelines, WILL believe the university-level textbook over claims of a Wikipedia user. If you have something against Ukraine then I can understand it given the war and so on, but it does not matter - what it does matter is that it is a reliable source that we can use, and one that does demonstrate differences between Polish and Silesian.

Unattributed translations

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. It appears that you translated text from :pl:Ewa Szymanowska ↗ to :Ewa Szymanowska ↗. While you are welcome to translate Wikipedia content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing ↗ '''requires that you provide attribution''' to the contributor(s) of the original article. When translating from a foreign-language Wikipedia article, this is supplied at a minimum in an '''edit summary ↗''' on the page where you add translated content, identifying it as a translation and linking ↗ it to the source page. Sample wording for this is given here ↗. If you forgot, or were not aware of this requirement, attribution '''must be given retroactively ↗''', for example:
: <code><nowiki>NOTE: Content in the edit of 01:25, January 25, 2023 was translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at :fr:Exact name of French article ↗; see its history for attribution.</nowiki></code>
Retroactive attribution may be added using a dummy edit ↗; see Repairing insufficient attribution ↗.
It is good practice, especially if translation is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{tl|translated page}} template on the talk page of the destination article. If you have added translated content previously which was not attributed at the time it was added, you must add attribution retrospectively ↗, even if it was a long time ago. You can read more about author attribution and the reasons for it at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia ↗. Thank you.  ''Josey Wales'' ''Parley'' 12:38, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

Error in a quote on a source you added to Republican Party (United States) ↗

Here ↗, you added a source with the following quote: {{tq|The Republican Party of the US is not a far-right party, but since the rise of the Tea Party movement...}} When I double-checked the source myself, I found that it said the following instead (emphasis mine): {{tq|'''Historically,''' the Republican Party of the US is not a far-right party, but since the rise of the Tea Party movement...}} In context (and in the context of the dispute over the text you added it to, which was about the party's position on the political spectrum in the present day) this one word clearly completely reverses its meaning; furthermore, you didn't even add it with ellipses to indicate it had been trimmed; you added it as if it were the complete sentence.

:Hello @Aquillion, thank you for your message.

Hi Brat Forelli. Thank you for your work on Belarusian Syalyanski Sayuz ↗. Another editor, Kqol, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol ↗ and left the following comment:

{{Bq|1=Hi! Reviewed your article at NPP - solid work, clearly notable and well-sourced. One small thing: I removed the last sentence about leaders fleeing to France in 1939 and returning in 1941. The cited Dudkin 2024 paper only covers 1922–1924, so it didn't support that claim, and "party's former leaders" is a bit awkward since BZW was dissolved in 1932.
Just a heads up for interwar minority-politics topics - phrasing like "fled west, returned in 1941" can read as implying collaboration even when that's not the intent, and unsourced lines like that tend to get picked up quickly by other editors. Worth giving each claim a quick check against its citation per WP:V ↗.}}
