[edit] Snyder map

Snyder will probably hit the main page in a little over 27 hours from now as part of the DYK according to the T:DYK/Q. I was contemplating makeing a map with the business district and the two National Register of Historic Places listings. However, we should probably only have one map for the hamlet. Any chance we can have a map before it hits the main page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 05:55, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for forcing me to learn OpenStreetMap from last week's signpost so that I could create File:Snyder, New York map.png myself. Now, I just need to get the template fixed to accept three maps in the next 6.5 hours.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 04:27, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Dąb Car

Did I make a mistake? It is also popular name for every higher oak, used also in belarussian literature. The same name has the highest oak of Belarus. Of course the article is not finished and should be expanded. I will think about it. Leszek Jańczuk (talk) 15:03, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

I didn't have anything to do with the redirect of your article, but it appears that the reason it was redirected to Białowieża Forest is because it was decided that the Tsar Oak which is the main tree described (to which you have added a bit about a different "Tsar Oak") isn't notable enough for an article. That decision was made here almost two years ago. Further, the comment by someone about the name was that an article on the tree you added shouldn't be named "Dąb Car" because since it's in Belarus (and presumably not in the forest that straddles the border with Poland), it's not called "Dąb Car", only "Царь-дуб" (and should be in English on the English Wikipedia, anyway).

Yes it is no problem, It is Polish oak - Ghirlandajo made a mistake - I saw it many times, and photographed too, but in Belarus is the other oak with the same name. It is only surprised for me that Jagiełło Oak was did not merged, though it was never the highest oak in Białowieża Forest, and it has not historical meanning as was said before of merging of this oak. There is only one difference, the article about Jagiełło Oak has a legend (not historical true, it is too joung). The other oaks also have legends (but did not included to the articles). Jagiełło Oak had only one advantage above other oaks it was located near Białowieża (only 1.5 km) and was well known for the tourists and writers. Some of these writers described this oak (one these writers received Nobel Prise, not for oak, but for Quo Vadis (novel). Perhaps it is enough for the article in English wikipedia, but actually it is not mentioned in the article. Legends can not be the reason for qualifying what article has right to be in wikipedia. Tsar Oak was bigger and higher, and more majestic, but it was never described by writers, because it was located 15 km from Białowieża, and not easy accessible (swamps). In any case it is not area of my interest. I know this area ver well, I was born there, but it is enough for now.

Ps. two years ago I was not wikipedian. Leszek Jańczuk (talk) 22:53, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
