However, his next edit 7 minutes later was complaint to you which led to this block... ] (]) 16:11, 28 March 2016 (UTC) | |||
| :::Athenean went running straight to Drmies to block shop . I seriously doubt they were genuinely offended though, they just saw it as an opportunity. Never-mind comments like these . | |||
| :::Anyway, I don't care about the block. I always got better things to do anyway and the way I see it, when I edit Misplaced Pages I'm donating my own time, so I'm the one doing Misplaced Pages a favor, not vice versa. But my comment was an accurate description of how editing on that article works - it is simply impossible to make any kind of meaningful change or improvement unless it is explicitly pro-Putin. Reliable sources are dismissed on the flimsiest and often contradictory pretexts. Any attempt to cut down the overly long article, is instantly revert with disingenuous demands that these edits be "discussed first". Disingenuous because it's pretty obvious no one has much of an interest in genuine discussion but rather uses this "discuss first" tactic to keep control over the article. | |||
| :::The funny thing is that pretty much any outside editor that stumbles upon the article has pretty much the same reaction that I did - oh my god this is a piece of junk!!! But pretty much everyone of these people is also saying "leave it alone, it's not worth it", "it's too much trouble", "you can't win this, you'll just get blocked", "it's been controlled by POV editors for too long to change it" etc. So everyone realizes that a genuine problem exists, on an article of major importance, that it really could use some fixin', but everyone is either too busy, too lazy, or too scared (yes), to actually try to work on it. I find that kind of attitude... disheartening. I mean, I understand, I get busy too, I can be lazy and some of the antics going on definitely create a chilling atmosphere. But hey, if *I* want to work on it, I would appreciate some support. Leaving a comment or two on the talk page about how "the atmosphere here sucks" or "the article length needs to be cut" is not going to actually magically fix the problems with the article on its own. You got to actually go in, press that "edit" button and start making the changes, hatchet, buzzsaw and all.] (]) 17:10, 28 March 2016 (UTC) | |||
| ::::And I certainly agree. However, judging from the most recent arbitration request, this can only be done by people whose accounts were not compromised, who were not previously sanctioned, who are not open to accusations of "tag-teaming", and preferably not Russian citizens (one women recently end up even with her mouse being confiscated by a court in Russia for posting something innocent on the internet). ] (]) 17:46, 28 March 2016 (UTC) | |||
| :::::VM makes some very valid general points, and not just about this area of the project. It is very disheartening for many users, who feel intimidated from improving articles. I give my time freely, and I have to make a conscious decision based on an emotional profit/loss balance sheet wherever I edit. Is this going to inevitably end in a fight? Is this going to further shred my nerves? Real life crap is sometimes bad enough, but as a volunteer? So I scout before I edit. I wish I didn't have to. So yeah I get scared off by some areas of the project, I admit it. ] (]) 18:37, 28 March 2016 (UTC) | |||
| :::::One editor alone can't fix these problematic areas. Maybe a group of sane, like-minded editors can collaborate on the more gross examples, but often that just degenerates into a bad version of the gunfight at the ok corral. I think the admin corps could be more supportive if it is blatantly obvious that an article has been compromised in terms of POV and regular editing patterns and eds who own articles. That would encourage other editors, who have knowledge of the subject and wish to get involved. I am talking about perhaps thousands of articles that are affected. It's a systemic issue. Ironically, the I/P articles are less stressful of late. There are clear rules of engagement, high admin scrutiny and even a measure of respect among the regular eds of differing POVs developing. Because pissing about there has become a zero-sum game. Maybe a similar model can be put into operation in this area. ] (]) 19:15, 28 March 2016 (UTC) | |||

Re "The funny thing is that pretty much any outside editor that stumbles upon the article has pretty much the same reaction that I did - oh my god this is a piece of junk!!!" I can only say, that I ''came'' to the article as an outside user who is pro-Russia and anti-Putin; the reaction I got was also "piece of junk" but, however, not caused by pro-Putin editors but rather by a small clique of anti-Putin, potentially anti-Russian editors who are turning the page into a travesty (the recent attempts to argue "Putin is fascist according to RSs" is a typical example). In particular, I'd have to highlight VM in this regard. Sure, what he got blocked for was a relatively minor issue compared with his usual everyday attitude, but some admin really had to step in taking the whole picture into account and say ''It can't go on like that any more''. ] (]) 19:43, 28 March 2016 (UTC) | |||

Glitch
Hi! Looks like there was some sort of edit conflict glitch and your edit reverted a long comment from Nederlandse Leeuw (which is of interest to me because I was tagged in it). I reverted back, I hesitates because we had a little dustup at arbcon the other week so I thought it best to let you know directly what I was thinking and why I reverted your revert. Wish you the best. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 17:38, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

Not sure why several seem to think exceptional editors like Wifione & Icewhiz had malcious intent? Ice used to be a fellow ARS member, he was unusually gentle until he suffered severe provocation. He only sought adminship as a means to fight a certain evil. His play for adminship might have failed, but he simply kept taking things to a new level until his will proved too great for the community to resist. Much as I believe Ice was mistaken in seeing said evil as residing in certain edtiors or being tolerated by Misplaced Pages as a whole, one has to admire his ingenuity & determintation to achieve rightful victory (as he saw it).
bothered me. I was hoping that maybe the diff I shared would be like a victim impact statement? But I also didn't want to speak on your behalf because obviously you can do so for yourself (hence the courtesy ping). But again, I didn't mean to remind you what you went through. If you don't want me to ping you about similar situations in the future, I'll respect that. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 14:09, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

It was a pleasant surprise to see your mention of me when completing the editor reflection. I'm impressed that you remember my early forays into privacy protection, and am flattered that they had a positive influence on you.

The fact was ... that Stanislav Aseyev, the author of The Torture Camp on Paradise Street, was placed in the Izolyatsia torture camp for writing "Donetsk People's Republic" in quotation marks in a social media post? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Torture Camp on Paradise Street. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, The Torture Camp on Paradise Street), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

Utsa Patnaik
Hello VolunteerMarek. I had a query about the reliability of Utsa Patnaik on the Bengal Famine of 1943 article? I ask because you fully removed her opinion from the body on June 24 because it was apparently fringe, yet another anonymous user on July 1 added a whole paragraph sourced to Patnaik to the lead about inflation even though it's not a summary of the body and with no remaining mention of Patnaik in the body. I think her view deserves some mention in the body but clearly what this anonymous user added is undue and not following Misplaced Pages's guidelines for the lead section. No other scholar even gets named in the lead apart from Patnaik. 185.21.22.198 (talk) 11:22, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Patnaik , Monbiot and Hickel are most certainly fringe by any reasonable definition of fringe. “Comment is free” is not a reliable source. Volunteer Marek 18:49, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
Arbitration motions regarding My very best wishes
The Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:
Remedies 5.1 and 5.2 of World War II and the history of Jews in Poland (the topic and interaction bans on My very best wishes, respectively) are repealed.
And it has resolved by another motion that:
My very best wishes' topic ban from World War II in Eastern Europe and the history of Jews in Eastern Europe, imposed under the Eastern Europe contentious topic procedures, is repealed.
For the Arbitration Committee, SilverLocust 💬 06:33, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- Discuss this at: Misplaced Pages talk:Arbitration Committee/Noticeboard § Arbitration motions regarding My very best wishes

The request for amendment in which those two motions were proposed has been closed and is archived at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment/Archive 128#Amendment request: World War II and the history of Jews in Poland.
