Extended content
To enforce an arbitration decision and for violating editing restrictions as reported here on the page Collaboration in German-occupied Poland, you have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours. You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block or other sanctions.

If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Please copy my appeal to the [[WP:AE|arbitration enforcement noticeboard]] or [[WP:AN|administrators' noticeboard]]. Your reason here OR place the reason below this template. ~~~~}}. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page. NeilN talk to me 14:44, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."

AE

Extended content

You've been reported.Icewhiz (talk) 11:45, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Notice that you are now subject to an arbitration enforcement sanction

Extended content

The following sanction now applies to you:

Your are topic-banned (WP:TBAN) from the World War II history of Poland. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes any acts of violence by, in or against Poland, or by or against Poles or Polish Jews, during or immediately prior to or after World War II, as well as persons known for their involvement in the World War II history of Poland. You are invited to appeal this sanction in six months showing evidence of substantial, competent, prejudice-free editing in other topic areas.

You have been sanctioned for the reasons provided in response to this arbitration enforcement request.

This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Eastern Europe#Final decision and, if applicable, the procedure described at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.

You may appeal this sanction using the process described here. I recommend that you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template if you wish to submit an appeal to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. Sandstein 20:06, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification 1 - [1] (October 2020)

Potential ArbCom request

Extended content

Hi Gizzy. Please take a look at this. I'm appalled at the personal attacks and unbacked accusations made against you by User:Sandstein. I wrote up a brief description of the situation, with the possibility of asking ArbCom to look at it, since it involves a violation of WP:ASPERSIONS and by extensions discretionary sanctions in the topic area. Of course the complicating factor is that this is against an admin who is also active in enforcing discretionary sanctions (which to my mind, makes this even worse). However, since the attack was made against you specifically I thought I'd consult with you on how to proceed. If you want me to I will go ahead and file a request. If you have objections please make me aware of them.

Because some bad-faithed or vindictive individual may take your response to this message as a violation of your new topic ban (though really it should qualify under WP:BANEX) you should probably respond by email rather than on Wikipedia. I am writing on your talk page in the interest of full transparency.Volunteer Marek (talk) 03:10, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]


May 2019

Extended content
To enforce an arbitration decision and for violating your topic ban, you have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week. You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block or other sanctions.

If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Please copy my appeal to the [[WP:AE|arbitration enforcement noticeboard]] or [[WP:AN|administrators' noticeboard]].

I know about that, and I'm 95% sure I know which scumbag is responsible. Never post links that include personal information! I have an email link: here is another copy. Zerotalk 09:31, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Thank you for the link. GizzyCatBella (talk) 14:30, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Avoiding TP

Extended content

Hey GCB, You asked me not to post here, but you keep posting inhospitable messages on my TP. I don't think that's a fair arrangement, so I would appreciate it if you avoided posting there. Thanks. François Robere (talk) 21:55, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitration enforcement warning

Extended content

Hi. Please be more careful in the future as further violations of your restrictions will almost certainly result in sanctions. Best wishes for your health and safety, El_C 17:12, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@El_C Thank you, I’ll be extra careful. I’m not reverting any vandalism anymore either .. Thanks again and please stay healthy and safe also. GizzyCatBella🍁 23:06, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitration enforcement appeal

Extended content

Hi again. I have closed your appeal as declined. Sorry, I know this isn't the result you were hoping for. I hope this doesn't discourage you too much from continuing to contribute to the project. I hope you are able to take the criticism offered by various parties constructively and build on that. Anyway, let's give it another 2 years, at which point you're welcome to submit another appeal. Best wishes, El_C 18:52, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi El_C, no, I don’t think it will discourage me, I’ll do my best. Thank you. :) GizzyCatBella🍁 22:32, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That's good to hear, GizzyCatBella. I wish you success and happy editing. El_C 22:37, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm so happy you're excited Kasia, me likewise. May I suggest you do some copy editing into this article [3] before I publish my draft? I think Irish crochet might need some touch-ups.GizzyCatBella🍁 09:53, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Extended content

Information icon Hello, I'm Soumya-8974. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2020_May_27#Censorship_in_Poland that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Soumya-8974 talk contribs subpages 18:16, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please don’t alter my comments, that has been left for the record. The user might have to be reported if the WP: HOUNDING continues. GizzyCatBella🍁 18:37, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
NOT you wikihounding. Just let it go ok? Thanks.GizzyCatBella🍁 05:18, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A kitten for you!

Extended content

Hello GCB This kitty isn't quite as cute as the one on your userpage (and the bubble animation is excellent as well) but I had to drop it off to say thank you. It looks like things have been dealt with for the moment. Thanks for you vigilance.

MarnetteD|Talk 23:26, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! Thank you for the kitten. :) GizzyCatBella🍁 00:12, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Could use some help

Extended content

Hi, as I wander through Wikipedia I came across your username and clicked it...would appreciate if you were able to offer me help with my latest contributions. Much thanks, of course - and I understand if you are too busy. Mostcommonphraseongoogle (talk) 06:11, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What kind of help do you require specifically?GizzyCatBella🍁 06:40, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Arb Enforcement

Extended content

A discussion regarding your topic ban and your recent edits will appear on WP:AE. Notrium (talk) 16:37, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Notrium, maybe you can add a diff or two here before going ahead with that...? El_C 16:40, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I see it's already been filed at AE. Never mind. El_C 16:42, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@*Notrium - Seeking to get your opponents sanctioned for disagreeing with you as you just did here [2] that later continued to the below is not a very wise thing to do. It only demonstrates your attitude and sooner or later will get you in trouble. I wish you all the best, and I hope you will resolve your grievances here [3] using conventional channels.GizzyCatBella🍁 23:41, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The reason I wanted Oliszydlowski sanctioned is because I thought that could make his editing behavior less disruptive, make him read some policy, etc. Turns out I can't recognize the actual lines somebody may not cross before being sanctioned. As for you, (even though I could have spent my time much more effectively) I am proud to have shed light on your repeated violation. A Wikipedia with nobody to report somebody else in such a case would be a Wikipedia with no rules at all. Notrium (talk) 14:41, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Look Notrium, if you don't see anything disrupting in your behaviour then that's not good and quite sad... But I don't believe you don't, and I don't believe you are proud of it either. The reason you kept edit warring and later went on a cheap hounding/reporting adventure is that you lost an argument, and you couldn't control yourself. I hope you overcome this aggressive behaviour one day. In any way, let's close this discussion right here. Good luck to you and happy editing. GizzyCatBella🍁 03:36, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Asserting that I "couldn't control" myself feels to me like a personal attack. The "good luck" at the end does not change that. Notrium (talk) 03:47, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The "cheap hounding adventure" claim against me is definitely against WP policy, as I am obviously not hounding you. Notrium (talk) 03:49, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ok Notrium, I removed that part from my comment. Now please move on and if you could stop posting on my talk page I would appreciate it. Thanks.GizzyCatBella🍁 03:53, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

AE decision

Extended content
To enforce an arbitration decision and following the consensus at Arbitration Enforcement, you have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours. You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block or other sanctions.

If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Please copy my appeal to the [[WP:AE|arbitration enforcement noticeboard]] or [[WP:AN|administrators' noticeboard]]. Your reason here OR place the reason below this template. ~~~~}}. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. RexxS (talk) 23:21, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."

Again, GizzyCatBella, there's no other option but to do thorough review of all pertinent submissions so long as you continue to edit in the topic area of Poland that heavily. So, hopefully, a few days away will resonate the point of that. Hope to see you back editing at that time. Best wishes and kind regards, El_C 23:44, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I absolutely agree, I made a mistake and it's only my fault for missing the fact that there was a word "WW2" in the restored text. I'm taking full responsibility for it and accept the sanction. I'll try my best going forward, but most likely I will appeal the ban at one point sooner than later. I really think it doesn't serve any purpose anymore since I have learned from my mistake a while ago. Wikipedia is a strange world where alliances are formed and "enemies" produced. Sanctioned as such are being used as a weapon to silence opponents, this is really sad but I guess because of human nature, unavoidable.GizzyCatBella🍁 00:06, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It is sad, but it's the world we live in. Can I suggest that you read back on the two occasions when Sandstein wrote about your topic ban (the original placement and your request to lift it)? In each case he suggested you demonstrate six months of trouble-free editing and then appeal the ban. I fully agree with him on that, and I'm sure you'll have no problem doing so. --RexxS (talk) 00:32, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I'll. For the next 6 months, I'll try to avoid anything that has "Poland" in the text (just to be sure) and might focus on translating some articles into English in my sandbox on Polish Wikipedia. Those articles could be later transferred into English Wikipedia. Thank you guys for your time, and sorry for the breach of the topic ban.GizzyCatBella🍁 00:45, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Arb Enforcement again

Anticommunism

Extended content

You specifically make anticommunist edits and don't let people to fix bias that is a such. This isn't an uncommon thing among Poland history contributors and you just make the situation worse. I suggest you to stop your biased counter-productive actions. --Comrade-yutyo (talk) 20:49, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comrade-yutyo - Halt that ethnic generalization of editors, please. How the hell you know who I am, and if I'm anti-Communist or anti-whatever? Slow down here, please, okay? - GizzyCatBella🍁 21:02, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@GizzyCatBella: I haven't specified any ethnicity. I have just said you are one of people that mostly edit Poland-related history articles, who are mostly doing biased edits mostly having anti-communist nature and don't let people to fix that as you do now at Prostitution in Poland. I am just asking for neutrality. --Comrade-yutyo (talk) 21:05, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
What the hell is anti-Communist about stating that something was (per sources) Communist[22]? Come on here fellow.GizzyCatBella🍁 21:12, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@GizzyCatBella: You can't even call a nation with its name. Your edits intend bad faith. --Comrade-yutyo (talk) 21:22, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Now you are accusing me of bad faith...Comrade-yutyo you got to be careful with these things around here. I'm not such a person who runs and reports editors if I don't feel that administrative action is absolutely necessary, but many people do. Let's stop talking about me and move away from my talk page to the related article page. Okay? I have to take some rest now but will look for your comments there later.GizzyCatBella🍁 21:30, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

High time for a crocheting classes invitation, methinks.

Zezen (talk) 09:55, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Zezen lol! - GizzyCatBella🍁 10:04, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You had made us all (including Drmies and more) LOL first, etc. with your "koronkowa robota" back then. Your fault.

I suggest co-editing the sponges in the Aplysinidae family together this time, "doing the needful" as our Indian colleagues are wont to say.

Zezen (talk) 10:10, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

They need to be more creative because it's monotonous now. I'm kind of bored with it: Sometimes, I feel like conversing, but I noticed I often ignore it. (@my fan - come on, my aficionado! I know you are reading this. Come up with something better; you are getting incredibly boring) - GizzyCatBella🍁 10:22, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for getting these followers around you Zezen because of me. Wherever I go, they follow me like "muchy do gówna", you know.. That creates frustration for other editors. I'm not too fond of that. - GizzyCatBella🍁 10:32, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I had commented about the same here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Yaffa_Eliach#Challenged_by_Israeli_historians? before 5P editing the mainspace thereof with joyful (near)abandon.

I guess Fear, uncertainty, and doubt is the proper name of their strategy: sowing all these first among the editors and admins, coupled with wikistalking, nitpicking (e.g. re these copyright claims) and then winning the TBs or more over the points or by e.g the Jimbo route or even external Twitter and press appeals.

You have rightly resorted to humour and reductio ad absurdum, at least in some cases. It worked.

OK, I am leaving the proposed invitation to prettifying the Aplysinidae or other crocheting-like Porifera phylums mainspaces to you, as you have much more experience, defter flappers and badinaging levity than me.

Off to my non-EN wikis now: there is a great battle raging over changing the very language and thus their rules and culture, shifting the Overton window on the sly, see e.g. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Poczekalnia/artyku%C5%82y/2020:08:25:Dukaizmy and related. Zezen (talk) 10:55, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Oh, yous guys were right: I got a wikihounding semi-anon fan today as well, see my Talk page.

They skimp on the exclamation marks, alas: if they added a baker's dozen more, I may become a believer.

Would s/he/it be related to your one above (similar arguments, methinks) or the "usual suspects"?

Zezen (talk) 16:15, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Zezen - that is not Ken (??),(why this your one above) it’s most likely "my fan" (not %100 sure yet, they need to write a little more for me to be sure) but congratulations, if that’s them, you are on "my fan’s" radar now. Enjoy - GizzyCatBella🍁 16:35, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Aha. I will enjoy. In my spare non-mainspace edits time.

BTW, I have decided to drop this Aryanization in the See Also. Not worth it. (FYI, in case you wondered how I got there: I have just rewatched the great Obchod na korze (an anti-fascist masterpiece, in case anybody second-guessed my intentions, the SPA readers here included :) in the Slovak original, then read the wiki materials about this including the interesting statistics (similar to other pre-war CEE countries), and decided to link (not compare) these, by way of q.v. only)

Zezen (talk) 17:07, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Zezen - Yeah, made up out of their ass, fabricated and manipulated to the max charges were their usual modus operandi, so the word "compare" despite the fact no one compared it. But as I said, you are on their radar now, so expect more trolling. Have fun with my fan. - GizzyCatBella🍁 17:15, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet

Hi, Per this edit, if you know who's behind the account, please start a sock puppet investigation. Nick-D (talk) 11:23, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nick-D they follow me around for like 2-3 years now, hides behind proxes, I don’t want to waste my time on them. Notice that they added WW2 substance in Poland - thats the topic I can’t edit due to the stupid topic ban. Long story. Just ignore them. - GizzyCatBella🍁 11:28, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Please do report them so the account can be blocked. If there is some kind of long-running harassment, admins or the Wikimedia Foundation may be able to follow up - by range blocking IPs, etc. Nick-D (talk) 11:32, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I might do that eventually but there are around 70 accounts to report and all of them behind the proxes so it’s hard to prove. I don’t have energy for that Nick. - GizzyCatBella🍁 11:36, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nick-D I left the note on the admins. talk page [29] but I feel sorry for those guys that they have to deal with all this crap. I'm trying not to overload them unless it is crucial. - GizzyCatBella🍁 11:42, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Please report it. Admins and checkusers can deal with this kind of stuff very quickly. Even playing whack a mole with sockpuppet accounts usually works. Nick-D (talk) 22:41, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I’ll try to find some energy for it Nick-D but I’m not promising .... GizzyCatBella🍁 22:47, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) @Nick-D: Since the odds are that this is related to this, as someone who spend countless hours compiling the evidence, only for more than half to be dismissed as "not enough", I am not sure if the system really works. From where I sit, one spends hours preparing evidence, only for a CU to say "hmmm, proxy, similar POV, similar interests, not conclusive". The moles have a very good shield in our apparent super-high evidence standards, at least those uphed by some CUs, for whom seemingly nothing but the sock admitign to their previous identity would work (as long as they got themselves a new proxy). Nonetheless, I'd encourage GCB to submit evidence to the CU, at the very least, we should be able to publicly confirm or deny whether those accounts use a proxy or not. If they use a proxy, it means it is probably that indef banned user (and if I was a betting person I'd also bet this is the case). If not, it could be someone else, the world is a big place after all. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:44, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you guys :) - GizzyCatBella🍁 03:21, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please read MOS:ENGVAR for why your edit was reverted by someone else. This policy came about because people repeatedly and unthinkingly imposed their own English variant on this Wikipedia. And then edit warred about it. It seems amazing that readers of Wikipedia wouldn't catch on that there's a whole world out there. Consider both wikt:metalled and wikt:prepone. 'Metalled' is an English word from Victorian England, no longer used there, but retained in India. If you'll look at wikt:Citations:prepone you'll see that 'prepone' was a joke, but then it wasn't - it became a 'real' word used in India and then elsewhere. English has become global, and MOS:ENGVAR asks that you take a global viewpoint when editing here. Shenme (talk) 08:01, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Holocaust

Some of your edits changed the meaning. El C, please note. SarahSV (talk) 03:17, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oh come on, that's just being petty. Sheesh. Gbear605 (talk) 03:33, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Look above: "for finally turning the tide", then comes straight to a long, sensitive, complex article, changes the meaning in several places, and changes a quote. And for what? What was the purpose of that edit? This is just nonsense. SarahSV (talk) 03:48, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I've been following all of the arbitration issues and frankly I don't see the issue here. I agree that GCB probably should be more careful (changing a quote, really?), but pinging an admin to take note is silly. Wait until there's actually something meaningful. Gbear605 (talk) 03:56, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi again, Sarah. Yes, I see the errors. A superfluous "the" was added to a quote, I presume without checking the source material (i.e. viewed as a typo for some reason). And Displaced persons camps in post-World War II Europe was turned into a red link. The remaining changes appear to be constructive gnomish ones. So, you go on to correct these errors, but for reasons which escape me, before you get a chance to finish, Gbear605 reverts. Mild excitement ensues, but it all gets settled eventually (I think). How is that for a summary? But, as for GCB, she has only made that one edit. She has not challenged your correction to it. She may well be perfectly content with your changes and is otherwise thinking: oops. The point, though, is that there is no POV creep that I'm able to discern, which is what I would be looking for. Again, she stumbled, you caught it (and then there's Gbear605, somehow) — end of story, no? El_C 04:46, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I can see the errors now....changing the link into the red one and I thought it was a typo in the quote...sorry Sarah. I’ll be careful with that going forward. - GizzyCatBella🍁 06:31, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Those weren't the only problems with that edit. Note also in Friendly fire, you changed "Soldiers fighting on unfamiliar ground can become disoriented" to "Soldiers fighting on the unfamiliar ground can become disoriented". And "combat stress may add to the confusion, especially if fire is exchanged" to "especially if the fire is exchanged". [32] SarahSV (talk) 06:51, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sarah, some respect and consideration would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps I'm oversensitive, but a little bit of politeness and simple words such as "excuse me" or "thank you" would help... - GizzyCatBella🍁 08:44, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
When you make good and bad copy edits to a well-developed article, the next editor has to pick their through them, rather than reverting. That is time-consuming, so it would make sense for you not to make edits where you know you aren't strong, and that includes the definite and indefinite article.
For example, at the Holocaust, you changed a source's quote, "whose role was to deal with 'all anti-German elements in hostile country behind the troops in combat'"; for some reason you thought "hostile country" needed "the". At "judgements ranging from acquittal to death by hanging", you added "an" before acquittal; did you mean there was only one acquittal? Then "West Germany initially tried few ex-Nazis, but after the 1958 Ulm Einsatzkommando trial, the government set up a dedicated agency." Adding "a" before "few" changes the meaning and makes "but" inappropriate. I also wonder why you arrived at that article, a day after coming off a topic ban. It seemed provocative.
Now you've returned to Friendly fire, and having changed "fire is exchanged" to "the fire is exchanged", now you've changed "fire" to "shooting", so it says "if shooting is exchanged". But people don't "exchange shooting".
I'll leave it there, but please bear these issues in mind. It isn't petty. The whole point of copy editing is to improve flow, grammar and vocabulary, so it isn't petty to point out when an edit doesn't achieve that or even achieves the opposite. SarahSV (talk) 21:38, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ONUS actually says, "While information must be verifiable to be included in an article, not all verifiable information needs to be included in an article. Consensus may determine that certain information does not improve an article, and that it should be omitted or presented instead in a different article. The onus to achieve consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content." So it's not an argument for restoring removed content.

Yes, can’t you see that? @SarahSV Actually no, not on this one, only on Pilecki - GizzyCatBella🍁 20:22, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea. - GizzyCatBella🍁 20:42, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Re

Yes, I understand that could mean "I had no choice." But the question is: why? I, as a volunteer contributor, always have a choice to drop the subject, edit something else, stop editing at all, whatever. Besides, this is just an educational website. If someone blocks me ideff, that's fine, good for my real life and work. My very best wishes (talk) 16:46, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why would you be blocked indef? I’m not seeing that happen, you are forced here to stay “unfortunately” :) - GizzyCatBella🍁 17:11, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No one forces me to stay here or edit any specific pages, and there is a choice. I stay here only as an addict and did ask to block me for that reason: [35]. Unfortunately, that resulted in certain problems, so I would not do it again. Happy editing! My very best wishes (talk) 17:22, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Language thing

You understood well, the word "forced" in Italian could be used also as "I had no choice" (I thought in English could be used the same way). "Fighting" can also be used to say "to deal with" about something hard to do, an harsh discussion for example. Unfortunately, I can't answer to you in the AE because I'm just under 500 words (I hope so!). If you want, you could report there my explanation. Thank you for understanding and for suggesting it.--Mhorg (talk) 17:31, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So, why did not you have a choice? You just recently started editing this page, and you could easily start edit something else given that you felt uncomfortable during discussions here, here (this is a continuation of the same thread) and elsewhere, started an absolutely irrelevant discussion here, and to be honest, started this AE request, instead of following WP:DR as you initially wanted? If anything, your involvement on these talk pages looks like WP:BLUDGEON. My very best wishes (talk) 18:00, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"I had no choice" because this is the first time in 6 years on Wikipedia that I had such surreal discussions with a user who questions ANY controversial issue of a politician supported by tons of RS. On the Italian Wikipedia I can assure you that I have never seen such a thing. Maybe the communities are different, there are probably different rules... or maybe there is something wrong in this case. And believe me, I always try to find a mediation with those who help build the encyclopedia. I think I never dared to remove large parts of controversal content from an article, and of course never with the accusation of "Undue weight", even though I felt politically close to a certain politician.
I tried to open the DR, when the only outstanding issue was the Georgian one. When you started questioning everything, I felt inside me that something was wrong. And don't think I'm happy with what happened, in fact, I ruined my days "fighting" in the discussions or tracking what you were doing on the article. I hope that the matter will be resolved and that we can return to collaborate in the future in a better way, as I already wrote to you some time ago.[36] If instead they decide that I was wrong to evaluate, well, I apologize in advance.--Mhorg (talk) 18:51, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I never said or acted to remove all "controversial issues". In fact, this whole page is one continuous controversy. The content was there all the time, and it is still there right now. For example, his "nationalism" is now described in the 2nd paragraph here, on the page. I did not remove it. It just uses more neutral wording than you suggested. Can we add more? Yes, perhaps we can if there will be a consensus on the talk page. So far I do not see it. Start an RfC if you wish to include your text with "rotten teeth" and "cockroaches" [37]. My very best wishes (talk) 19:13, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I read all your answers. I understand that you somehow want to avoid being held accountable for your mass deletions and the abuse you have done by accusing everything controversial of "Undue weight". I just hope that the administrators will check what I have reported, comparing it with your answers. I am also asking if I can exceed the 500 word limit so that I can answer to your statements there on AE request. You're distorting everything again, like you've been doing since I got to argue with you.--Mhorg (talk) 20:30, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No, I did not claim everything controversial of "Undue weight", but only your text about "rotten teeth" and "cockroaches" (diff above). My very best wishes (talk) 22:33, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I assure you that if you close your eyes that report will not disappear. Everything is written there. And there are also all the discussions where everything is "Undue weight" for you.--Mhorg (talk) 22:42, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Look, what you brought to AE is just a content dispute on a single page. Moreover, this is a disagreement between you and a few other users (not just me) on one small issue, i.e. the exact wording/text for describing views by Navalny on the old Georgia-related events. My position: I do not think this is due on the page, but it might be included if we frame it as his general views on foreign policy as described in the scholarly source [38]. My very best wishes (talk) 23:47, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Recent tagging of sources

Can you say what you meant by this at the Holocaust? You wrote: "Please take a peek at this and adjust the text to meet WP:APLRS conditions. I tagged it for now."

There are three sources in the bundle you tagged, supporting footnote f: "The term shoah was used in a pamphlet in 1940, Sho'at Yehudei Polin ("Sho'ah of Polish Jews"), published by the United Aid Committee for the Jews in Poland." Sources.

Two of the sources support the point directly: Crowe 2008, p. 1—that's David M. Crowe, The Holocaust: Roots, History, and Aftermath—and Yad Vashem. A second Yad Vashem page is offered as a "see also" source about the definition of the Holocaust generally.

You tagged the whole thing as "Better source needed". Which of the three sources is the problem, and what did you mean about adjusting the text? SarahSV (talk) 18:54, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I meant using Haaretz as a source (#10 this one --> [39]) [40] of course not Yad Vashem - is Hareetz okay? - GizzyCatBella🍁 00:17, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There it is used to support: "According to Haaretz, the writer Yehuda Erez may have been the first to describe events in Germany as the shoah. Davar and later Haaretz both used the term in September 1939."[1]
  1. ^ Gilad, Elon (1 May 2019). "Shoah: How a Biblical Term Became the Hebrew Word for Holocaust". Haaretz. Archived from the original on 1 December 2019.
Given that part of the research would be the news organization looking through its own archives for the date, it seems fine. I've been meaning to look for the Yehuda Erez article but haven't got round to it. What do you think might be the problem with Haaretz for something like this? SarahSV (talk) 00:34, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
SarahSV - I don't think its anything wrong with the source personally; I just noticed that that particular source doesn't meet WP:APLRS conditions; hence I brought it to your attention. I'll let you guys decide since you have higher expertise here. - GizzyCatBella🍁 02:06, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm wondering why it would need to meet WP:APLRS. It's in the terminology section. It isn't supporting a claim about Poland. Scholarly sources should be used for history articles in general, but a newspaper describing first use of a term, especially when that newspaper was one of the first users, seems okay.

I agree, it needs to stop. As does removing valid material. [42] GCB, if you think a source isn't good enough, please look for a better one, rather than removing everything without checking. SarahSV (talk) 19:29, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No, what needs to stop is this kind of insane battleground hounding where a user who upon coming to Wikipedia immediately started getting into fights, is now demanding that check users rifle through people’s emails because... not sure why. I’m at a loss Sarah why you would support this kind of behavior.
As for that edit above, it was a good edit - it removed an obviously non reliable source with REDFLAG information. Again, I’m at a loss as to why you would want to defend such an edit, especially in this topic area where we have the APLRS restriction which I believe you support. How does that work? You’re in favor of the APLRS restriction but complain when someone removes a source which doesn’t even meet RS, much less APLRS? You’re also assuming bad faith by assuming that GCB removed it “without checking”. How do you know? Please don’t cast aspersions without basis. Volunteer Marek 22:38, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

A friendly notification

Hey GizzyCatBella, I have this article in my watchlist and I noticed your change. I appreciate your editing in general though I sometimes disagree with you. I'd suggest you don't add any wikilinks to this disputed Wikipedia article at the moment. It wouldn't give any additional credibility whatsoever to the article and I think it would only mislead the readers. It would be more constructive, if you engaged with the issues at the relevant talk page (I notified User:Buidhe of the matter a while ago). Wikipedia should be about verifiability, not narratives and hypotheses.Potugin (talk) 04:21, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I’ll look at it later. - GizzyCatBella🍁 04:24, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Powerful Lithuania

Lack of reference isn't a problem. This is a clear example of puffery, "the once powerful and vast Lithuanian state" doesn't add anything substantial to the article. IMO the whole article is written in a very pro-Lithuanian manner just to prove that Vytis is absolute to the bone original Lithuanian Coat of Arms, and that any Belarusian claims to this heritage are baseless. I mean the whole part about Belarus is absolutely scandalous and it should be basically deleted. Another problem is that it's not possible to edit the article because all will be reverted by the main editors. edit: in general for an outside reader the article is basically incomprehensible Marcelus (talk) 22:00, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can you propose the changes you think are required? Perhaps one concern at the time? You tend to leave messages on users’ talk pages. Please address your concerns (everything) on the article's talk page, not user's talk pages. It’s vital for record-keeping. - GizzyCatBella🍁 05:59, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I'll do that Marcelus (talk) 10:02, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Heads of State as belligerent leaders

Hi GCB, I'm really unsure about listing Israeli presidents as belligerent leaders. It is similar to listing Queen Elizabeth II as a belligerent leader for WWII, which we don't do. Ok, maybe not that quite odd, but still Zalman Shazar probably didn't even know about the Samu incident until afterwards. It would make more sense to list the Defence Minister or the Commander in Chief. Cheers. Zerotalk 04:41, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh okay.. thanks - GizzyCatBella🍁 04:51, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Co-incidence?

[45] very shortly after you removed a post by a long term puppeteer, a brand new account springs up to do exactly the same edit. WCMemail 16:27, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Wee Curry Monster - Thank you. It might be a coincidence in this particular topic. - GizzyCatBella🍁 16:50, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of the Roman coast What two boats sank in an unequal battle It is not worth all this unbridled hypocrisy, but the Egyptian Navy, which sunk 20 ships and a torpedo boat. This was not mentioned in the results. It was mentioned only a claim that several ships belonging to the Egyptian Navy sank, and this is also a claim that is not strange to you.
