Polish nobility today

“In 1921, the first Constitution of the Polish Republic after World War I finally terminated all privileges of nobility and forbade the usage of arms (Article 96). The later Constitution of 1935 (Article 81, §2) cancelled this paragraph, so de facto this meant the restitution of some old laws regarding the use of arms and honorary titles. However, the privileges were cancelled by another paragraph of the same Constitution which says that all citizens are equal by law. Such situation remains to this today.” - Piotr Pawel Bajer - Published: July 26th, 2000. [1]

From where do you take COAs drawn by mr Gajl ? --WarX 10:04, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

So OK. I talked with him and he told me, that he realesed about 100 of them, so I was afraid, that new ones are appearing (which haven't been realesd by him). --WarX 08:16, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

According to the license specified, copyright owner only allows coats of arms up to a size of 150 x 150 pixels. Please do not upload larger images. Thuresson 13:21, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Polish clans

My proposal had only to do only with the syntax of the phrase, not with the contents. All other nations have infact: Category:Coats of arms of ..... of NameoftheNation. So if clans and families are two different things in Poland, there should simply be in Commons two Categories: Category:Coats of arms of clans of Poland (which can be a sub-category for Category:Coats of arms of Poland on a par with Category:Coats of arms of families of Poland) and Category:Coats of arms of families of Poland. I must add that coats of arms should be categorized by family, in such a way to include also non-noble families, because in ancient times also bourgeois had coats of arms. Category:Coats of arms of the nobility of Poland can be a sub-catgory within Category:Coats of arms of families of Poland.

Please note: Next time you need to contact me or anyone else about Commons, please use either the messege page in Commons, or write the comment in the appropriate "discussion" page such as this one. I am working at it:wiki very little, in this period. I am duplicating this exchange of messages there anyway. Best wishes. --G.dallorto 11:41, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

A request

Dear Gustavo Szwedowski, since you seem to be learned in Polish heraldry, I have a request to make you. I noticed that in the category: Category:Coats of arms to be classified there is a lot of unsorted Polish coats of arms. I was wondering whether you felt like picking them out and placing them in the appropriate category. (Yesterday I catalogued all Italian coats of arms that were in this category).

Furthermore, since the Category:Polish nobility coats of arms images must be renamed into Category:Coats of arms of families of Poland anyway, I was wondering whether this could be the occasion to create sub-catgories to make it easier to browse the category. Nowadays, it is too big a category. I arranged the Italian coats of arms by states and by families, but of course other criteria could be used, including the alphabetical one (e.g. subcategories like: Category:Coats of arms of families of Poland - Letter A, Category:Coats of arms of families of Poland - Letter B and so on. I leave you to decide about, since you are more learned in the matter than I am. Thank you in advance. --G.dallorto 12:46, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Renaming

To create a new category the method is very simple: just write the name of it at the bottom of the picture you want to move into it (of course you have to delete the name of the category you don't want it to belong to any longer). For instance: write: Category:Coats of arms of families of Poland - Letter A (or whatever). When you save the page, you will see a red link (meaning the category does not exist yet) in the page. Just click on the red link, write into the blank space any explanation you might want to appear in the category you are creating (e.g. "This pages is for coats of arms of families of Poland whose family name begins with letter A") and sub-categorise it (in this case, this new page must belong to Category:Coats of arms of families of Poland, of course, otherwise nobody will find it. Save the page, and it is done.

For Civic unsorted coats of arms, you could temporarily store them all into Category:Coats of arms of cities and villages of Poland, wich is however now too big a category and will have to be split into sub-categories and sorted in the future by regions and provinces. But at the moment it is better that Polish municipal coats of arms be sorted and poured here than into Category:Coats of arms to be classified, where nobody will be able to find them.

If you have to answer me, I prefer you to answer me here. Currently I am working on Commons, and I am contributing to it:wiki very very little. So don't bother about it:wiki.

I hope I was of some help. And as for your 4,000 coats of arms... well, I don't sure envy you ant the task you want to fulfil. It's an awful lot! :-)

Best wishes.--G.dallorto 14:15, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Deleting

A user like me and you may not cancel a page, but he may ask an adm to do so.

• In case (as in our case) it is an empty page, or an image with a copyviol, these two cases qualify for speedy deletion. Put in the page you want to be deleted this template: {{speedy}}. In a short time an adm will delete it.
• If you write {{delete}}, this is a proposal for deletion for controversial images, but they will be deleted only after a vote.
• If you want to cancel a category page with a wrong name, write: {{badname|:Category:Name of the correct category}}.
• If you want to submit the proposal to move the category page to another name, write: {{move|:Category:Name of the new category}}.
• If you want to propose the merge among two categories, write: {{merge|:Category:Name of the category to be merged}}.

Best wishes.--G.dallorto 21:09, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

"Nobility of Poland"

Please do not add category "Nobility of Poland" or similar to images having their own categories, like Category:Stefan Czarniecki: it belons to cat. "Czarniecki familiy", which finally is subcategory of "Nobility of Poland". So portraits of Stefan Czarniecki and others usually are already categorised properly. A.J. 18:01, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, In december last year, you marked Image:Herb Odyniec.jpg for deletion saying "bad jpg". The image is still there however, as the deletion request was incomplete. You also point to Image:140px-Herb Odyniec.jpg as a duplicate? (On my pc, I cannot view 140px-Herb Odyniec.jpg for some reason). Can you fix up the deletion request or take it off the page? Thanks and regards, Deadstar 15:50, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Category:Coats of arms of Austria in History

hello there, you have created multiple categories with the format "Coats of arms of X in History". That is not correct English, I would suggest you consult maybe someone in future before creating categories in English. I will put these up for discussion for a possible renaming. sincerely Gryffindor 08:50, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Oh, no need to apologise, it was just something I noticed. Should you need help in future about English, feel free to contact me I will gladly help you out. sincerely Gryffindor 12:14, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

There is a discussion going on how to best name those categories, to be found here [2] feel free to contribute. This should not take long to find a solution. Gryffindor 13:46, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Ah yes hello, sorry about that. The correct format should be "Historical coats of arms of Austria" as an example in that case. sincerely Gryffindor 03:29, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Gustavo Szwedowski de Korwin!

Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.
