Talk:Janusz Korwin-Mikke

message: "He speaks very bad English" - is this ency "Korwin Mikke is very hot, sexy guy"? No, this is just unency opinion. I know that this is not ency article, just political propaganda, but common guys! If I wanna add "He has nasty taste, because he eats pizza witch ketchup" - I should add source to articles that pizza with ketchup is nono. Also context of opinion of his English - at least use past continuos form, to pretend that you has competentions to critique his language skills in given speech, make some effort.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.31.211.196 (talk) 06:51, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: is this ency?

message: Both information regarding JKM's bridge player career (including those requiring citation) may be misleading due to possible mistranslation of Polish bridge terms.
First of all, JKM has never been a Polish national champion. He held a National Master rank, accordingly to Polish version of Masterpoints - both terms (master and champion) are synonymous in Polish (mistrz, but are used with different adjectives) - hence the confusion.
Also, JKM has never been a member of Polish national team on an international tournament. He however joined Polish national trials, which made him a direct candidate to play in the national team. Again - both terms (regarding the national team and the trials that determine the team) translate to Polish term kadra (first in a colloquial usage, second - official), but should not be confused. --78.8.120.32 (talk) 14:09, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No citations have been provided since the 'citation needed' tag has been applied. I have moderated the statement regarding his status in bridge and await a reliable source to substantiate previous statements.  Newwhist (talk) 12:47, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  That's funny 

message: That information that the cause of dismissal was the fact he had fathered children out of wedlock is absolutely untrue. The real reason was the dispute within the party and the fact that some members were fighting with other. Tashi Talk to me 19:14, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

message: How come there are some false rumours on Wikipedia?
Mr. Janusz Korwin-Mikke is a severe anti-Zionist. He once called Zionism "a genocide againt humanity" and said that "the Ashkenazim want to rule the whole world". 
Moreover, Mister Janusz is not Jewish. He denied Jewish heritage a plenty of times.
Please, correct the information. 192.162.150.105 (talk) 10:44, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Janusz Korwin-Mikke is an anti-Zionist non-Jew 

message: "Janusz Korwin-Mikke's economic views are radically libertarian,[17][2][3][4][5][6][6] in the classical sense of the word; in the U.S. his views would be best described as libertarian conservative."
This does note seems to make much sense - outside the US "libertarian" has two different meanings: traditionally it was used in the sense of anarchist (usually of the syndicalist version); more recently, by imitation, it is also used in the same meaning as in the US (free market, small government, etc.)
Of course he is not an anarchist, then, we are talking of libertarian in the American sense of the word; but, then, if in the US he will be "described as libertarian conservative", he is a libertarian conservative.--MiguelMadeira (talk) 12:17, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

message: There are recent attempts from user TU-nor in which he tries to label/smear Korwin-Mikke by dubbing his as "far-right" despite the fact that he holds Monarchisthttps://www.wsj.com/articles/polands-ruling-party-wins-eu-vote-1401048307 views, which and are not on the far-right spectrum of politics. Furthermore, the source used is absolutely weak and is not a credible source (Times of Israel), especially when the article is written by an author with an anti-Polish biashttps://blogs.timesofisrael.com/my-anti-polish-bias-as-a-jewish-journalist/. -69.121.10.105 (talk)
: Thank you for using the talk page. Just a few comments to your message here, your message in my user talk page and your edit sumamries:
:*There is no contradiction between being far-right and being monarchist. As you can see here, the terms left and right in politics actually have their roots in the assembly of the French Revolution, where the monarchists were labelled "right" because they were sitting to the right in the meeting hall, just beside the "blacks" (the aristocrats). More to the point, even if there is no absolute correlation between monarchism and far-right politics, it is easy to find examples of parties and politicians that are monarchists and described as far-right. For your argument to be valid, you will have to back it up with sources saying that monarchism is incompatible with far-right politics. I trust you will have some problems digging up such sources.
:*You have been so kind as to decorate my talk page with an edit war template. I assume that you found my talk page a bit colourless, since I have no such warnings from before. It could of course be because I do not do edit wars and that most editors anyway WP:don't template the regulars. But thanks anyway for adding colour and giving me a laugh. You are of course welcome to inspect my contributions for further examples of edit wars and other disruptive edits. You know what you are taking about.
:*Now to what really matters: sources. I will happily agree with you that the Times of Israel sourcehttps://www.timesofisrael.com/far-right-polish-lawmaker-natural-selection-via-pogroms-made-jews-powerful/ Far-right Polish lawmaker: Natural selection via pogroms made Jews powerful is not necessarily a strong enough source for the "far-right" claim, if it is used alone. However, you also removed two other sources I had added, giving the comment  The sources I added are a book published at Routledge and an article in The Guardian. I have also offered to add more sources.
:The best way to proceed now, before starting dispute resolution, is probably to ask at WP:RSN what they say about the sources, but before I raise the question there, I would be glad if you could explain on what grounds you dismiss those two sources. --T*U (talk) 15:05, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: It is 100% clear Korwin-Mikke is extreme or far right, many sources describe him so. 69.121.10.105's attempts to cast Korwin-Mikke as a "monarchist" that is not far right are unconvincing. In this modern day and age holding "monarchist" views is extreme.--Bob not snob (talk) 06:03, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Categorization of "Far-right" 

message: You only have to look at the polish version to compare the quality with the english one. Polish article has his background, history and current political activity. This? This has controversy A, controversy B, controversy C. Because that's all the west sees. Controversy because he dares to speak out against EU and others.

thread_title:  Born in the "German reich" 

message: "He believes that women are, on average, less intelligent than men, citing chess results to back up his claims." May be so, but I'd also like to inform you that he believes that women are on avarage wiser than man. Please stop making articles about right-wing politicians an utterly horrendous propaganda. Cherry picking is not how we are supposed to make articles. He also makes statements that them being ON AVARAGE less intelligent has no real impact as in "normal country" this has no meaning because people are individuals and not collective as in communist states. "Controversies" section automatically excludes any statements that accompany those that are "controversial", even though they often times change the meaning of whole sentence.
