Thank you for welcoming me, but as you can see I'm not such a newbe on Wikipedia - I've made about 5200 edits on pl.wiki and about 300 on en.wiki ;) Nevertheless, it's always nice to find out that someone finally found my talk page and put there a proper template. Regards, Galileo01 19:45, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, welcome anyway! :) I see a redlinked talk page, I leave a welcome message. Happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester 19:52, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I can't, because (1) I don't understand Polish, and (2) Commons is not Wikipedia. All Commons comments should always go to your Commons talk page. (vishwin60 - review) 19:15, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

The file File:Brzeszcze map.JPG has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Orphaned map.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 23:28, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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

(talk page stalker) I think you can renominate it ASAP, Galileo01. Unlike on pl wiki, on en wiki, GA reviews are done by a single person, and the quality of reviews vary. I looked at it and I see you replied to the reviewer, and then, as far as I can tell, they just ignored you and failed the nom. All I can say is that again, GAR on en wiki vary a lot, some reviewers are great, some are less so far various reasons. I believe you can renominate your work at any time and try again. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:04, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I appreciate the guidance, and I think I will do that. I'll admit, I was surprised by, say, how things unfolded :) I love good pace, but this was a new experience for sure. Galileo01 (talk) 05:32, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Right. If you are interested in reviewing, please check Wikipedia:Good_article_nominations/Instructions#Reviewing if you haven't already. Regarding your article, perhaps you could ask for a review from @Dreamcatcher25 or @Buidhe. I could review it myself, but I am a bit pressed for time right now. Quick comment: please use WP:Citation templates for your references.
