Hi @Chicken4War![edit]

I saw your post in the Saloon Bar. Couple of things:

  • I don't think you are bad at writing at all! I had no difficulty understanding the text and you made this weirdo very interesting to read about. It's a bit short and disorganised, but that's normal in the Draft stages. I have read a lot worse in Main space.
  • I feel like the gang won't be much help with this. Not because they are mean or because they don't care of course - it's just that most of them probably won't feel comfortable writing about a subject they are unfamiliar with (I assume most of the best sources on this guy are in the Polish language?).
  • We are not like Wikipedia. We only have a small group of editors and they are either A) busy with their own projects or B) prefer to hang out and not edit Main space (which I don't judge them for, it's their prerogative and no one should feel pressured to contribute if that's not their style). So calls for help and encouragement of collaboration often go unheeded. Again, it's not a nastiness thing, they aren't being rude, it's just kind of the way things are done around here. It's all very-do-it-yourself, sink or swim sort of thing. If you see something bad in Main space or if there is an article you want, no one comes along to rescue you. (On the other hand, if you f@ck up, you'll never hear the end of it). Don't let the lack of teamwork in this place put you off though - I think you have the skills to make this article really good. Provided you are willing to put in all the work yourself.

Oh, and lastly, I tried to format the refs - did I do okay? On the two Polish websites I couldn't quite tell what I was doing, just copy-pasting and hoping for the best. Sorry if I messed something up.

Also, yes I'll try to write on here more often --Chicken4War (talk) 21:40, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
