Hi,
Could you explain to me the change of the link in the article on Rzeczpospolita? There was a perfrclty relevant link to the website of Rzeczpospolita paper which you removed. Don't you think a link to Poland.pl would be more relevent in the article on Poland, not there? --Kpalion 18:43, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)

To Kpalion: sorry to have taken so much time, I simply couldn't figure how to reply. As for a "perfectly relevant link",I must disagree. Rzeczpospolita, as you know, means "republica". There's a newspaper called "The Republic" in many countries in Europe, e.g. La Reppublica. Thus, in my opinion, if you want to link to a newspaper, why not www.wyborcza.pl?
To Halibutt: For me (not an English native!) a "Polish chronicle writer" states a person of Polish origin/citizenship etc. We's probably agree it's rather not the place to discuss Gall's nationality, but I'd change "Polish chronicle writer" to a "writer of chronicles on Poland", or whatever is relevant to the context. I'm going to change (restore) what was erased if you hadn't done so. Sorry for trouble, I'm still a newbie.
[edit] Motorcycle speedway
Hey. I've adjusted your addition to the motorcycle speedway article, as you've used heat, where I think you mean lap - in motorcycle speedway, a heat is a single race, with generally 3 to four laps per race. The evening's competition will consist of several heats. kju 12:04, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hezbollah
Hi! While I'm not arguing with your edits to Lebanon, I feel that you should know: Hezbollah has been labeled a terrorist organization by the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Canada, Israel and Australia, but not by the European Union.
In a non-binding resolution adopted by the European Parliament on March 10, 2005, the MEPs urged the EU Council to brand Hezbollah a terrorist organization. However, the Council has so far been reluctant to do so, as France, Spain, and Britain fear that such a move would further damage the prospects for Middle East peace talks.[109] The EU has, however, agreed to block Hezbollah's Al-Manar television from European satellites in order to enforce European regulations against "incitement to racial and/or religious hatred."
This is from the WP Article, and although in my eyes Hezzabollah are a terrorist organisation, I understand that it might be tricky to name them as such. HawkerTyphoon 12:05, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
"in my eyes" simply does not apply in Wikipedia. I also have my own opinions about the conflict, but this is not the place to express them.
- I'm not saying that we should change it, I'm simply saying that there are more countries than the three you mentioned that state HB as a terror group. I'm not arguing, i was just informing. Sorry!HawkerTyphoon 12:20, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

- I must agree. I've seen BBC News, Hizbollah is firing rockets southwards, yet the organization was originally created to get rid of IDF from southern Lebanon. Lots has changed since the early 80's, I guess. Anyway, I'd use a less emotional adjective, e.g. "militant organization" (is that good actually? don't know). LMB 14:46, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
