[edit] David Oschefski

David Oschefski (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

It is HOAX. No tracks in historical sources, look at pl:Oblężenie Krakowa (1655) there is nothing about such person. He was mantioned in Siege of Kraków (1655) but no sources available for this statement. Polish surnames are written with end "wski" instead of "fski".Rklisowski 07:11, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Nothing found in Google Books to substantiate claims. --Dhartung | Talk 07:29, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

• This article is entirely true, and the information is present in a history magizine, published in January of 2001. The magizine is called History of Poland. Copies of this magizine are rare to come by. Some Polish last names have been ended with fski instead of wski. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Carlsonford (talk • contribs) 13:53, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

  Based on his contribs, it looks like a kid. Since his entry on Siege of Krakow in 1655 was more or less correct, assuming good faith it is possible there this entry is also correct - but on the other hand, no serious magazine would maim Polish name like this (maybe the entries where created from memory? Sigh). But as it stands, this entry has little encyclopedic value unless properly referenced and corrected.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  22:09, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

This article is true though, it was taken from magizines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charles56789 (talk • contribs) 00:22, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Charles, you had better start listing all these magazines in the article. --Malcolmxl5 02:09, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Article "Szwedzi w Krakowie" (Swedish in Kraków) published in June in polish "Mówią Wieki" (internet version - excuse me it's in polish) does not mention anything about such person. Voted article says that Oschefski stopped the siege but army of Karl X Gustav conquered Kraków so article is not true. - Rklisowski 11:42, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete unless referenced (with proper information per WP:CITE - if it is magazine, it should have ISBN, data and place of publication, article should have an author, etc.). At best, it's a poor transliteration of Polish name (Dawid Ozewski?).-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  21:54, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
