Soviet invasion of Poland (1939)[edit]
The article has been growing quite nicely recently; the only thing suggested in the recent peer review that we cannot get is a map. I think the article fullfills the criteria for an A-class article. Comments appreciated.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 00:09, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Indeed, but playing the devils advocate, they are not tailored to that campaign: they don't show details of Soviet units locations and movement, nor the battles specific to that campaign.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 16:37, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Presently I face dilemma. I possess relevant information on this subject, but I have the sense that my thought on this subject would be... ...Forgive myself, I am uncertain if this is the word I intend... ...Irresponsible, I believe? I have the sense that I may inadvertantly bias what would in circumstances of other be invaluable fact data. I presently shall retrieve the paper document file, my sources, that exist as my possessions, which allow insight on the subject at hand. As I do this, gift to myself counsel--I possess desire to help Wikipedia, in spite of this, helping Wikipedia is understood by myself to imply obeying the expressed procedures by policy, and it is not my present belief that I am competent to do such a thing in this case. However, if I do not make some attempt, then I may be committing bias simply by omission. Perhaps there is someone fluent in either Ukrainian, or Russian, or both, in addition to English, that is confident in his or her present ability to maintain the NPOV on this subject, given the sensetivity of the source? If such a person is willing, then possibility exists that I would be willing to collaborate in such an venture.MVMosin 20:28, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Please note that per WP:NPOV no individual is expected to be truly neutral. We all are biased, one way or another. As long as you realize you are biased, admit it and are willing to work with others to 'neutralize' it together, all is fine. It is only users who don't admit they are biased or don't allow others to compromise that are working agaisnt this project. That said, please also note WP:V/WP:RS: any source you are using should be vefiriable outside Wikipedia (so, for example, a file only in your posession and not published elsewhere would not be a good source to use).-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 21:11, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
