Hi Igny, | |||
I am looking at some current comments at ], and I recall that in the past, you were the only editor (IIRC) who was able to apply ] and say something nice about "the other side". I wonder: what makes you so different from many other editors? And more to the point: how can we make them behave more like you? Since I think you are one of the few editors respected by "both sides", could I interest you in launching some meditations? I am afraid that this topic area will not become peaceful till editors learn to forget and forgive. PS. Have you ever considered applying for an adminship? --<sub><span style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">]|]</span></sub> 15:16, 24 September 2010 (UTC) |

Comments such as this are unhelpful. Please do not make unfounded comments of covert collusion and other such nonsense. Doing so adds to the noise of the arbitration case and is inconsiderate of the other parties. In future, to avoid the assumption of bad faith, remember that only substantiated accusations should be made. If at any point you have a qualm with another editor's comment, whether it be directed at you or at another party, you are free to message or e-mail me; I or another clerk will do our best to ensure that the edit is fully scrutinised, and removed if necessary.

thanks
Thanks for the supportive comment at my request for amendment . If it's not too much to ask I was wondering if you could just note there that me and you were on the opposite sides of the issues prior and during the EEML case. Otherwise, since it's been several months since the case, people might have forgotten and think you're one of the "Polish editors" or something and discount your opinion unduly.radek (talk) 04:14, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

definition of "mass"
apologies for my confusing tag here. the quoted material is from the definition of the term "mass", not the outcome of the poison, which was always death, varying in suffering and time. The fact that poisons were tested on gulag prisoners resulting in death is not disputed. the previous undo made the comment "how is this relevant to the page?" my tag was to clarify the link was not in relevance to the 5-6 notable victims killed by the poisons, but rather the "large number of people" killed in testing of the poisons. i think paul undid the previous link thinking 5-6 deaths did not qualify as "mass killing", which i agree. however the "mass killings" of those whom served as guinea pigs, should justify the link remaining.

Why are you different? :)
Hi Igny,
I am looking at some current comments at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Amendment, and I recall that in the past, you were the only editor (IIRC) who was able to apply WP:FORGIVE and say something nice about "the other side". I wonder: what makes you so different from many other editors? And more to the point: how can we make them behave more like you? Since I think you are one of the few editors respected by "both sides", could I interest you in launching some meditations? I am afraid that this topic area will not become peaceful till editors learn to forget and forgive. PS. Have you ever considered applying for an adminship? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 15:16, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
