Please see my comment here. There may still be time for you to respond to the complaint and explain why you shouldn't be blocked. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 17:50, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Black Kite (talk) 17:59, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It seems it is too late to reply (apologies, I had pressing business outside Wikipedia) and argue my case, so please allow me to reply here:
I will not argue against the block, as I will explain at the end, instead I want to make an appeal to the principles of Wikipedia.
The situation between myself and the other users mentioned here escalated before my previous warning. I appealed to wiki admins to mediate only to receive a warning myself. If I did not feel I was hounded and I was the disruptor why would I appeal to an admin? I also felt the admin decision then was short sighted but I went with it since I do not want to antagonize people that try to maintain objectivity. But apparently the situation has long gone out of control.
I took a month to cool of and stopped editing all together. After a month, checking on my contribution log I see the part in question from the article history of Transylvania missing. The discussion span two days and came to the conclusion that "Lavinia wrote a false info" ie the cited author, a reputable archaeologist, doesn't know what she is talking about, but the two editors do. Allow me to shed some light on the fine thinking here: the two users involved support the theory of Romanians immigration to nowadays Romania and often take steps to delete or censor info that contradicts their beliefs.
This steps include:
-systematically contradicting and arguing with other editors
1
2
-deleting paragraphs that contain information they dislike without taking steps into fixing it or finding other faults that they then present as the real reason for deletion

All this examples are just quick notes from the last 6 months and do not include my edits or talks with the said users.
-revanchism - OrionNimrod's real reason for deleting the paragraph: "Earlier you removed "Pannonia" as offtopic in another chapter, now you like it???"
From my point of view their action was disruptive and in bad faith, equalling vandalism but I will not appeal against the block. Being off editing on a Wikipedia that is uncapable of detecting such subtle disruptive behaviours and decides against whistle-blowers is not a tragedy. My action is firmly rooted in the belief the system is being misused by some and the only option I had left given the last incident was WP:IGNORE. However I do not expect admins to jump and take my side, in fact I expect nothing to come out of this since yourself are the second person reasoning against my action in this very "rules are rules" way and "we don't do investigator work". I respect and understand your action, I argue here against a flooded system that keeps failing its principles and users, not against individual admins. Bottom line I consider my action in line with the principles of Wiki and I express my disappointment and frustration at the systems failures that lead so many users to leave and creates a toxic environment.

As a history student, I used Wikipedia a lot for my projects, but as I kept using it I noticed certain paragraphs would dissapear. What these paragraphs had in common is that the Hungarian histography disagrees with (even when German or British histography agrees). It appears to me that these paragraphs were removed out of nationalist desire rather than any desire for the betterment of Wikipedia. QuidditchCup53 (talk) 20:31, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hungarian nationalism running rampart on Wikipedia

Hi, I used to use the Wikipedia pages as I study history in university. But as I kept going back to the pages I noticed that often paragraphs would dissapear, often paragraphs that Hungarian histography disagrees with (even when German or British histography agrees). I looked into this and it seems Wikipedia seems to have a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view policy. Removing sources that disagree with your nationalist version is not NPOV. Paragraphs that fall under WP:NPOVHOW are removed out of nationalist desire.

Is this normal? I assume there's plenty of Wikipedia pages in conflict like Russia-Ukraine, Armenia-Azerbaijan, but NPOV doesn't seem to be enforced here. QuidditchCup53 (talk) 18:33, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
