Undid revision 898377201 by Volunteer Marek (talk) Already discussed elsewhere. Reported in Polish media as well - so UNDUE has no legs here. Please discuss on the talk page, as opposed to edit-warring over content in the STABLE version of this article. |
Please stop using ridiculous, absurd and dishonest rationales for your edit warring - like claiming to restore a 'stable version" of an article... that was created just freaking hours ago. This has been explained already. WP:ONUS is on you to get consensus |
