Talk:Felix Kersten

message: Two sentences from the article:
: In his postwar memoirs Kersten takes credit for saving, among others, the whole Dutch people from forced deportation to East. Even if some of his claims are unverifiable, they are not entirely baseless. Although the details of Kersten’s activities are hard to discern, at least the Dutch government thought highly enough of Kersten to bestow a high decoration to him after the war.
In fact this decoration was bestowed because at that time the Dutch government believed his claim to have saved the whole Dutch people.  A later investgation (which is cited in the article - Jong) disproved the claim.  So the description here is not right. --Zerotalk 13:02, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

If you can find a link to an actual organization or a newspaper piece about a movement looking to change the flag, add it by all means.

Wikipedia's articles on Simpson's episodes are useful to me.  The plot description helps me figure out whether I've seen it before, and the cultural references typically answer any questions I have when watching (what movie is being alluded to, or what is that piece of music).  Granted that an episode guide is not part of the traditional role of an encyclopedia, but being "More useful to more people" (the slogan of a well-known print encyclopedia that Wikipedia has just about killed) is a worthwhile goal in itself. 66.32.148.104 (talk) 06:21, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

While the subjects are notable, the main article has no content other than "Main article" links at History and Transportations sections, and Subdivisions and Demographics are quite short. Splits should be carried out only if the parent article is too large, or the sections have grown to an extent it is undue in the parent article, and is split into a new one and summarized in the parent. This article doesn't look like it would be too large with the content that was split out, and the split articles were in two cases not properly summarized.

message: Hello, I am a Pole and I am surprised with the last line in section "Most popular surnames in the region":
   4. Mazurkiewicz: Founding of Masovia Name.
I cannot see in what sense could the surname Mazurkiewicz be "founding of Masovia name". The only morphological connection easily seen is Mazur-k-iew-icz, regarding neighbouring Mazury region (so, the "meaning" of Mazurkiewicz would be perhaps a descendant of a small person from Mazury?), not Masovia. And also it seems most probable that Mazurkiewicz is derived from Mazury, not the other way. But what I say is just of my reason, not of specialist knowledge. 
If the sentence quoted has any sense, it would be fine to make it clearer and link some source.

Talk:Trakai Voivodeship

message: Reverting nationalist edits. Hrodna was a Belarusian populated city for most of time of this voivodship, therefore the Belarusian name will be used. Grodno could be used for later times when it was Polish-populated. Other cities were Lithuanian-populated, therefore Lithuanian names will be used. The most of area of voivodhsip was Lithuanian-populated also, this is why voivodship will be named in Luthuanian. Also, it was established before the Union of Lublin (one of two voivodships established then, the other being Vilnius voivodship), when Polish language was still not used in Grand Duchy of Lithuania, therefore attempts to rename cities, powiats and voivodship itself to Polish language are wrong.
