Attempting to add a userbox to someone else's userpage after they have specifically asked you quite nicely to stop falls pretty easily within the realm of a Personal attack. Consider this your warning against doing this again.-- Isotope23 16:41, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
The comment you left on User talk:Isotope23 looks a lot like a threat to me. If that was a misunderstanding, please be a lot more careful in the future. It's at least edging into what would be blockable. Georgewilliamherbert 01:40, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
Space Cadet: Actually, Isotope23 did take it as a threat, as he posted to WP:ANI last night. That's why I got involved.

Thank you for making a report in respect of R9tgokunks ( talk · contribs · block log) on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Removing and reporting vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize even after their final warning, please report them again to the AIV noticeboard. Thanks. (Note: This appears to be about content disputes rather than about issues of vandalism; consider using dispute resolution). Sandstein 22:53, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
I know that we have had our disagreements in the past, particularly because of our very different viewpoints as to many things which tend to cause conflict, however, I hope that in the future and from hence forth, we can work together to improve Wikipedia, and create reasonable compromises on the various articles that tend to be creating conflict between the different groups present on Wikipedia... it is becoming very tiring for quite a few of the articles to be in a state of endless edit-war, when in the end I don't really believe that either side is right. Antman -- chat 20:01, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
yes, when you say "rv" (Revert Vandalism) in an edit summary, when a edit is not vandalism, that is a personal attack
-- Jadger 01:02, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Don't get so defensive, I was just pointing out how you need to be clear, and also how you should stop editwarring. revert is one word, you never see it spelled ReVert, not everyone holds to the same l33t speak as you do. and you can see how easily things can be misinterpreted on wikipedia, you need to be more clear. and I am not here to discuss Hrodberaht's actions, sure he may be a little offensive by instead of saying "removed POV" says "removed fascist propoganda" but I seem to recall you have done that an aweful lot as well.
-- Jadger 16:49, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
on the Schopenhauer article it gets pretty befuddling, I added a few words in order to try and clear it up. Do we know exactly where the border was at this time? because I know Hitler was born in a border town (not to equate schopenhauer with hitler) but we could put something like "born in Stutthof, a Prussian border town near Danzig/Gdansk in Poland."
-- Jadger 07:49, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Can you please explain why you think it's perfectly ok for you to revert with an edit summary of "you wish"? Please see Jagiellon dynasty and Casimir IV who relate to the area of land that is now called Poland at the time of Copernicus' birth. "Poland" is a gross oversimplification of the Kingdom of Poland of the Jagiellons. Next you'll be telling me Alexander the Great is a Greek. A better (referenced) phrase would be:

Why cite Britannica at me, I said I don't appreciate coffee-book history. If they wish to perpetuate gross oversimplifications fine, that's their loss. Here, if the bloody revert warriors give you a chance, justice can be done. My example of Leonardo is totally aposite - search the page for "tusc" - the only mention of him being a Tuscan is in a category - that's worse than cofeee-book - it's pathetic. It could be so much better. So could the article you're working on.
I rest my case. Space Cadet 12:14, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
That you call me knucklehead on the page for my discussion does not change the history. I would be a knucklehead to trust you without looking at sources, however. I have done that now. The people of Gdansk revolted against the choice of the king, you told me. Didn't they like the moustach of the King Bathory? You better not say just why they revolted. They wanted to keep autonomy and refused to pay homage to the new Polish king until their autonomy was guarranteed. You littered texts with nationalistic simplifications. Gdansk is a Polish city. It was not wholly in the past.-- Toolsbadly 10:20, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
I take back the knuckle head and I apologize. But the new king did not yet issue any decrees limiting the "autonomy" as you call it, nor did he show any signs of intending to do so. Gdańsk citizens revolted only because they liked Habsburg's moustache better. And they wanted him to be not the king of Gdańsk, but the whole Poland of which they still wanted to be a part of. Gets?

I know it from surfing and it's ironically on my favorites list. It uses German names for most Polish cities and other geographical features even during periods of time when the territorry in question belonged to Poland. It pushes the XIX century Prussian historiography POV. The Polish site captures both sides of the argument and it does not try to hide or misinterpret historical facts. It's so objective that even I find some shocking at first information in it. Space Cadet 11:01, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
No, both sites are wrong and inconsistent. From 1466 (1454) to 1793 Gdańsk was Polish, "okay"?. You mean to tell me you did not read any other article on the site? How superficial! No, I was not careless but you! Space Cadet 15:29, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
What are you talking about? No one said it wasn't Polish, and no one said it was. You argue German name for a city => city was German => city was then in Germany; use of German name for city not in Germany => revisionism & nationalistic & biased & inconsistent & wrong, etc., and zum.de makes this => zum.de is all of this before => zum.de and all their info shall not be used => zum.de is wrong => Gdansig was not autonomous. Both site are wrong and inconsistent? You meant zum.de and wikipedia.org, didnt you? Wikipedia held its own decision making conference and vote for the nameing of Gdansig, coming to the conclusion both sites now use, described above: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Gdansk/Vote -- Toolsbadly 20:25, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Over the years I read about 100 books about the period, so my knowledge is not based on one or two sites and your little cause and effect chain maybe applies more to you: Space Cadet is a Polish nationalist ==> etc. I would like to recommend a great book by Karin Friedrich "The Other Prussia - Royal Prussia, Poland and Liberty, 1569 - 1772". Autonomous - yes, but an autonomous part of Poland. Space Cadet 21:08, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
I could teach someone who read a hundred books (or were you using binary numerals??) about the period that the fight of Gdansig against the king was to avoid reduction in autonomy? I feel very honored. Earlier you wrote: it was "against the choice of the new king - their candidate being a Habsburg. Unfortunately they lost surrendered and lost a lot of privileges." "But the new king did not yet issue any decrees limiting the "autonomy" as you call it, nor did he show any signs of intending to do so. Gdańsk citizens revolted only because they liked Habsburg's moustache better." "And you are out of line quoting nationalistic sites."
Looking back, don't you feel embarassed? You're now using autonomy without quotes, even. That you call my recording of your past logic my "little cause and effect chain" doesn't make it incorrect.--

Hi there; as I see from your userpage that you speak Polish, and as you and user:172.195.112.109, who clearly is Polish, are following each other around all over the encyclopedia reverting each other, may I respectfully suggest that you talk to each other on your or his talk pages, or by e-mail if you wish, and come to some agreement about, for instance, the importance and significance of the name of Gdansk. I can otherwise see the possibility of you both getting WP:3RR blocks, which I really do not want to do.-- Anthony.bradbury 22:16, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
How exactly do you figure he's Polish? Is this supposed to be a joke? Pretty stupid one then. Space Cadet 23:55, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
(edit conflict) No, it was not meant to be a joke, and I had no intention of denigrating either you or him. He appears to edit only Poland related articles, and, given that i know a lot of Poles, his use of the English language indicates an Eastern European origin. I had no intention of taking sides, and sent you both similar 3RR warnings. May I suggest that, as you speak Polish, you address him in that language. If he understands, then you can perhaps come to agreement. If he does not, then let me know, and this will be taken into account in any future blocking request. I'm just trying to preserve the encyclopedia. aren't we all?-- Anthony.bradbury 00:09, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
How does bad English indicate that someone is from Eastern Europe? Are you chauvinistic or retarded? Anyway, he is a German revisionist and I don't understand why you only picked us two out of all the parties involved. Space Cadet 00:27, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
I am really sorry if that is the impression which I created. I knew, of course, that you spoke both English and Polish because your user-page says so. My assumption that User:172.195.112.109 was Polish we have exhaustively examined. Asking you to go and take care of it is not, perhaps, how I intended to come across to you. When we have an edit conflict within wikipedia then we always try, where possible to get the two main protagonists to talk and agree with each other; it does not always work, but is always worth trying. That is what i was doing, and I guess failing in. And now I am going to bed - nothing personal, but it's 2.15 a.m. here.-- Anthony.bradbury "talk" 01:17, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

You have been embroiled in a consistently disruptive naming war for five years now with no end in sight. Certainly the naming is just a small part of your reverts, but it can be described well.
The following are just the edits that are directly related to whether it should be Gdansk or Danzig on the article Gdansk, not your similar edits like this. Nor does it include all the naming disruption on similar articles ( [20] [21] etc).
[22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38]
These diffs above don't include the following, either. The Gdansk revert war went on. In fact, it was your ( [39] [40] [41] [42] [43] [44] [45]) and Emax's revert war against the administrators John Kenney, Chris 73 and Jpgordon that was followed by the creation of the Gdansk vote (mid-February 2005) to finally end this. The vote was also welcomed by a Polish user like I've never seen approval of a vote before. [46]
In this vote, you committed double voting by casting with both Space Cadet and your proven and confessed abusive sockpuppet Tirid Tirid. [47] [48] Tirid Tirid was also used for further revert warring. [49]
Understandably, you did not like the outcome at all, so you continued in contrast to the vote's decision: (limited to just one diff per month) [50] [51] [52] [53] [54] [55] [56] [57] [58] [59] [60] [61] [62]
There's only one month in which you didn't violate the voting. After April 2006, you took a break. You started editing again in late August with ... a Gdansk vote violation. [63] Thus continues your record (limited to just one diff per month): [64] [65] [66] [67] [68] [69] [70] [71] [72] [73] [74] [75] [76] [77]
Yup, there's no month in which you didn't breach the Gdansk vote this time. It's amazing that your conduct has never received the due amount of attention. And the last diff listed is this month, early September 2007. Again, it is noteworthy that the naming is just part of your revert warring. I guess the following war should also be mentioned because it's also directly related to the Gdansk vote ( [78] [79] [80] [81] [82]).
Now, the following is the total number of your edits and reverts that are not in line with the Gdansk vote in the last two weeks: [83] [84] [85] [86] [87] [88] [89] [90] [91] [92] [93] [94] [95] [96] [97] [98] [99] [100]

The borders changed indeed in the (Catholic) Ermland region, so what? In the ex post perspective, it became finally East Prussia when West Prussia disappeared (first) from the map. (Sorry, with Prussia you mean only what was called "West and East Prussia"?) So you may eliminate some people from there from the East Prussia category, great thing. A hobby like yours is perfectly O.K., but it is always difficult if the clear view is hindered by too strong emotions. Your Province of Prussia argument looks a bit childish, to say it very politlely (ja, ja, the good old Provincial Prussians!). By the way, being fixated on Categories, is a dangerous sign... Studying history always means trying to take different angles, but this not what you are up to, right? Seen from 20th century, the German-Polish history is a mess. But going deeper into this, it is far more complex (a German pope, 'designed' by a Polish Pope, still unbelievable!). Thanks to the Polish editors especially here and in the German wikipedia I have learned about a different perspective on Polish history. So you won for tonight, Polish-American Edit-War King! -- DaQuirin 22:59, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
I love history of all Prussia: Brandenburg, Hannover, Hessen-Nassau, Pommern, Posen, Rheinland, Sachsen, Schlesien, Schleswig-Holstein, Westfalen, Westpreußen and my personal favorite: Ostpreußen. Since when is logic childish? I'm not fixated about anything except good sex. It's not about winning or losing, but about Truth, Logic and Common Sense. Even seen from the 2nd millenium the German-Polish history is a mess. But let's hope for change. Space Cadet 12:59, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
And by the way: for some Germans East Prussia still exists and will always exist! That's why I always welcome nostalgic German tourists in Elbing, Allenstein, Heilsberg and Goldap: Herzlich wilkommen in Ostpreußen! Did I spell that right? Probably not, sorry. But they understand, smile at me and, if they speak English, begin a long talk with me about Prussia, which I love. Space Cadet 14:45, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
East Prussia has become a historical region. And so much about the millennium perspective (we entered a new one, Space Cadet). You prefer to talk about good sex... As for the categories: "Southern Prussian Poles", "Congress Poland Poles", and "Grand Duchy / Provincial Posen Poles" and the like... Nonsense, right? With time, the term and notion "Prussians" spread over the map (not too different from "Saxons" for example). In the end, West Prussia was situated in the far eastern periphery of Prussia (only to be topped by ... East Prussia!). Confusing for everybody but you. East Prussians is the conventional term for the inhabitants from the region we are talking about. You want to have a combined group, for some reason. You are used to it, not interested in finding nuances outside your beliefs. O.K. Maybe for a break, the current standard 'post 2000' academic work on (1701-) "Prussian" history: [102]. And I will not convince the emigrant amateur historian's mind. Good bye, American friend! -- DaQuirin 15:07, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
PS: Something odd: Germany's sport teams, especially the soccer Nationalmannschaft, still playing in the colours of Prussia and the Teutonic Knights... More than 90 percent of the Germans are not aware of this, I can assure you. -- DaQuirin 15:21, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Can you finally begin to start considering a thought of attempting to produce some kind of modern proof that it was more than an administrative unit originated in 1772, abolished in 1829, restored in 1878 and finally abolished again in 1945? I mean I know that it is a popular stereotype to use the name for this (kind of unspecified as far as borders) land when referring to historical periods since 13th century, just like it is a popular stereotype to use the name "worms" for most arthropods (Nonsense, right?). Silesia was always Silesia but not East Prussia. How about just sticking to city names like: People born in Königsberg, Allenstein, Heilsberg, Tilsit etc.? With colors and all? I love Black and White. And I love black crosses on white background. My favorite figurine is that of a Teutonic Knight. What does my being an immigrant in America have to do with anything?

You meant "Sorry for lack of culture" of course. No problem. Not everybody took Latin in high school. It is probably an "elective" in Germany (together with Logic), and you could've chosen a different subject instead. Did you dodge History the same way?

I've begun cleaning up the People from Prussia categories and will work on them when I have time. Former states can be included in Category:People from former German states. I also created additional categories for Königsberg, Ducal Prussia, Royal Prussia, Ordensland, Grand Duchy of Posen etc. Your assistance would be appreciated in helping to categorize the biographical articles if you are interested. If you do find biographies that do not fit in existing categories, please create the relevant categories for them. For individuals from the pre-Modern Era, perhaps categories such as Silesian Germans or German Silesians could be created. Cheers, Olessi 18:46, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Please comment at talk if you move the article. Thanks, -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 17:22, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
It was only a countermove and I DID state the reason. Space Cadet 17:32, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
I would welcome your contribution to article about Germans kidnapping Polish children which i partially translated and partially expanded from Polish wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidnapping_of_Polish_children_by_Germany -- Molobo 22:13, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
(in Polish) Czy jesteś wandalem? Mam na myśli twoje parę edycji z dzisiaj (17.11.2007) od około 13:00 do 18:00. Rewertujesz artykuły, przywracasz masowo wersje Molobo, usuwasz prawdę z artykułów itp. Co z tobą? Zanim zaczniesz rewertować to przedyskutuj - od tego jest przecież dyskusja. Możesz mi pisać po polsku w czym dokładnie jest problem. LUCPOL ( talk) 19:23, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi SC-just to let you know, LUCPOL threatened me with firearms and physical violence several times before, he also stalked me outside Wikipedia. He is now banned in Polish Wikipedia for highly aggressive behaviour and POV edits untill December with the possibility of extension of the ban. He also was trying to recruit editors on forum of RAŚ(Silesian Autonomy Movement). Cheers.-- Molobo ( talk) 21:08, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Molobo threatened me with firearms several times before. He was banned in Polish Wikipedia for highly aggressive behaviour, trollings, manipulations and POV edits. Possibility of extension of the ban (annuity). He also was trying to recruit editors on forum of ROPŚ and other. Administrator of pl.wikipedia wrote "Dotychczasowy wkład obu panów (red. Molobo and Bobik111) wskazuje dość jednoznacznie, że przyszli tu raczej spierać się czy wręcz kłócić niż pracować nad projektem. Ponadto obaj niepotrzebnie podgrzewają temperaturę dyskusji, często wchodząc na zupełnie pozamerytoryczne wątki. Mam również wrażenie, że poprzednie blokady nie skłoniły ich do poprawy" + 1 year (and other) banned in en.wikipedia = hmmmm ;) PS. W tej chwili oboje (ja i molobo) napisaliśmy coś o sobie i powinno się zakończyć tę gatkę ale założę się że Molobo będzie kontynuował tę niemerytoryczną dyskusję. Jeśli się mylę i nie będzie tu już nic pisał to stawiam ci piwko ;) ;p LUCPOL ( talk) 23:23, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Well the difference is LUCPOL that I did kept record on those threats and your RAS post is quite visible although you did modified it. Since I never did anything described above you will have hard time proving this if anything emerges.I can present record of your threats at any time if they would be required. Since I never threatened you, you can't present anything. -- Molobo ( talk) 23:34, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Please write in English on Enwiki. I don't need to remember them since I saved screenshots from them. As to your threats, if you were drunk as you claim here then it further erodes your credibility as an editor and it certainly isn't an excuse. Lastly your insult about me being troll is of course violating Wiki Civility guidelines, which IIRC were one of the reasons for your current ban in Plwiki.-- Molobo ( talk) 23:47, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Also LUCPOL, keep your tRAŚh off my Talk page. Space Cadet ( talk) 00:57, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
(in Polish) Rozumiem, że dalej wolisz się zajmować pro-polskim POV. OK, ale oczekuj długich sporów i wojen bo ja nie zamierzam tolerować polskiego POV w artykułach dotyczących Śląska. A twój powyższy komentarz sobie zapamiętam. LUCPOL ( talk) 01:02, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
Zapamiętaj dobrze, bo ani ja ani inni nie będziemy tolerować twojego durnego separatyzmu. Space Cadet ( talk) 01:14, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
Dogadujemy się, tylko nie stosuj wstępów typu: "Czy jesteś wandalem?". Działa mi to na nerwy. Space Cadet ( talk) 12:26, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
Calm, I am sure proper admins will deal with the situation if hostility from LUCPOL continues as well as POV edits without support in facts or reason. It's best not to engage in dispute with him in a way that is not needed.-- Molobo ( talk) 01:12, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I wonder which Gdańsk vote you're referring to in your edit summary moving Tumult of Thorn to Tumult of Thorn (Toruń). Thanks in advance for clarifying. - GTBacchus( talk) 01:20, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
The above image has been challenged by another user. Matthead ( talk · contribs) believes it violates the terms of the vote result, and does not provide sources for the information presented. Can you explain your sources, and also the reason for using polish names for all places (even those that are in the same region as Konigsberg, which itself you named in 'German (Polish)' style)?— Random832 18:44, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Sure, here is the link Image:Teutonic state 1308-1455.png Space Cadet ( talk) 19:50, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
It's still somewhat troubling that exclusively Polish names are used on the map. Some history - this was a rather bitter dispute in the somewhat early days of Wikipedia, and there was a vote that led to clearly delineated rules on naming conventions of places that have both Polish and German names Nevermind the history lesson - I see you were actually around then - and I wasn't, so I'm sure you know the story better than I do anyway. I will also discuss this with the other editor, maybe it would make sense to get together on the talkpage of one of the images?—

How about this: you give me some time and I insert the German names where appropriate. I need about two weeks. Space Cadet ( talk) 23:12, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Speedy delete the original research image Image:Teutonic_takeover.PNG is used in edit wars at Teutonic takeover of Danzig (Gdańsk), History of Gdańsk (Danzig), Pomerelia in order to supersede the proper sourced map Image:Pommerellen.png. It is part of a compaingn by some Poles to deny the 600y years of history of Danzig. They also make an attempt to rally a posse to overthrow the results of the Gdansk/Danzig vote, see also Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/2007_November_30#Template:Gdansk-Vote-Results. -- Matthead DisOuß 14:53, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Stop your whining. I just fixed the map. Took me fifteen minutes. Maybe you could've done it in ten. "Campaign to deny history" - poor Matthead, poor history, so brutally denied. You're such a drama king. Cheers, your homie Space Cadet 22:43, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Would you mind casting your vote again here, with regards to this template, which I created? Much obliged. -- Poeticbent talk 06:37, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading Image:Teutonic takeover 1308.PNG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 22:43, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Teutonic takeover 1308 license.PNG. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Teutonic takeover 1308.PNG. The copy called Image:Teutonic takeover 1308.PNG has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

Dzięki. How-to na WP:ARCHIVE, po prostu cut and paste do podstrony.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 00:00, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
I don't see anywhere on that Gdansk vote page an indication that it was intended to apply to other cities besides Gdansk, and indeed the wording both on the page and in the "this page is affected by the Gdansk (Danzig) vote" template pretty clearly says otherwise. The talk page of Tumult of Thorn indicates no such consensus for that particular article, and the overriding policy is WP:COMMONNAME. Since "Tumult of Thorn" is used in English language texts, whereas "Tumult of Toruń" is not, clearly the former is the one we should use on the English Wikipedia. Therefore I plan to move it back. -- Delirium ( talk) 00:30, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
As a person with great knowledge about German-Polish history perhaps you would like to comment and expand in article about Kidnapping of Polish children by Germany, they are some issues debated on talk, and I would like the article to be expanded if possible. Comments and expansions are welcomed as usual.-- Molobo ( talk) 16:49, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Is Auschwitz the English accepted name for Oświęcim ? I know you are always interested in such issues. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Duchy_of_O%C5%9Bwi%C4%99cim#Requested_move -- Molobo ( talk) 05:13, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Już ci kiedyś pisałem, abyś nie stosował ataków osobistych pod moim adresem. Znów to robisz i w dodatku zakładasz złą wolę innej osoby bądź nie starasz się nazwet zrozumieć co druga osoba ma do przekazania. Wiem, że mój angielski jest słaby, dlatego piszę po "moim" angielskim oraz po polsku. Jeszcze raz powtarzam odnośnie artykułu Duchy of Pless: kilkadziesiąt procent historii (chyba nawet większość historii) tego księstwa nie ma związku z Polską. Nie można zatem pisać "...was a duchy of Silesia, with its capital at Pless (Pszczyna, Poland)" bo tylko pewien okres Pszczyna jako stolica księstwa była w Polsce. LUCPOL ( talk) 17:46, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
I already answered this ridiculous point on Duchy of Pless, Talk. Space Cadet ( talk) 20:02, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
