I hope I haven't "stepped out of line", since I am obviously not anywhere near the veteran of this system, so I felt as though you deserved a wider explanation. I'm a Taiwanese national as well, so English is a second language (and I still make a few hic-ups), so I wanted to be cautious. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:ChuangKai|ChuangKai]] ([[User talk:ChuangKai|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/ChuangKai|contribs]]) 06:49, 4 December 2010 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

Sent on behalf of the Guild of Copy Editors via SMasters using AWB on 01:56, 1 December 2010 (UTC) Not my intention to provoke anyone, "Peace of Riga"I just wanted to say that it wasn't my intention to provoke--I know it can easily come off as such through an open system like Wikipedia. I made those edits after having read repeatedly though Vakar (perhaps the earliest English-language history of Belarus) and Lubachko (another major history for English-speakers, and others like Zaprudnik, who quote him). Again, I don't wish to establish a sort of "false equivalency" on the issue. And I had no intention of provoking or alienating. At the same time, I did find mention of Polish control of West Belarus somewhat lacking, even if it is only a further consideration of Peace of Riga. Lubachko and Vakar vividly describe it period in West Belarus, in many periods, violent and aggressive in its own right, and it seems fair to mention then (Zaprudnik's history, particularly before 1957, is heavily based on their works.) Again, the choice of words for Bereza Kartuska are a reflection of Lubachko's own words (in his narrative, it is literally described as "Concentration Camp", though he is speaking from the perspective of the Belarusians). The article for Bereza Kartuska likewise acknowledges that some consider it such a establishment. I do not wish to edit Lubachko's words any more than I must--and even then, should it be called "prison" or something else, deleting the whole addition seems like a poor solution. I hope I haven't "stepped out of line", since I am obviously not anywhere near the veteran of this system, so I felt as though you deserved a wider explanation. I'm a Taiwanese national as well, so English is a second language (and I still make a few hic-ups), so I wanted to be cautious. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ChuangKai (talk • contribs) 06:49, 4 December 2010 (UTC) FYI |
