Off Wiki discussions

It's indicated on your Arb that you had requested/asked/shopped off-Wiki for other admins to review my edits and perhaps block me. I am aware of the instances of on-Wiki shopping for blocks against me that you have done. Can you tell me how many previous instances of off-Wiki shopping and requests you have initiated concerning my edits? thanks. Boodlesthecat 23:27, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Misstatement on arb

Don't you think you've made a mis-statement of fact in describing this as a "failure of 3RR? This had been reviewed and there was no finding of a 3RR violation. Don't you think it's a bit deceptive to provide a link to a 3RR filing but not to the actual outcome, which clearly contradicts your assertion? Boodlesthecat 18:32, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi,

Mógłbyś rzucić okiem na edycje tego IP-ka () jego edycje jak misię zdaje trącą pewnym POV pushingiem. Ja się nie znam na historii więc trudno mi ocenić na ile są sensowne/bezsensowne.
Pozdrowienia,

GANs

Why did you nominate so many articles for GAN that clearly required significant improvement and references before meeting the criteria? I'm puzzled, because you have a great track record of excellent work done on articles, but these articles are far below par. Gary King (talk) 06:32, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

You can't imagine how much of a sigh of relief it is to hear that from you :) I saw them and was seriously concerned; I first checked the article histories and saw that User:Orczar had the primary contributions on all of them so figured you were nominating for them. Afterwards, however, I double-checked by seeing if maybe someone else had nominated the articles under your name, but nope, they were done by you. Glad to hear that it's just helping someone out, though; perhaps next time it'd be better if you posted a peer review for them instead, though? Just a thought :) Cheers!

The article is almost at GA level. Some short paragraphs should be merged, for instance, and some MOS issues are there, such as "on June 21 – 25" should be "on June 21–25". Gary King (talk) 06:58, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

GA etc.

I've never had much interest in satisfying Misplaced Pages's formal expectations indeed and concentrate on informational content of the articles; have never submitted my articles to any review. Misplaced Pages is full of ridiculously incorrect information, but that attracts little attention. The emphasis seems to be on proper headings, tables, placement of references etc. A computer program could do those things. Referencing often presents problems. For example, much of the information in an article like History of Poland is common knowledge. How do you reference a statement like "The Battle of Grunwald took place in 1410"?

The prehistory articles I consider unfinished, a kind of work in progress (slow for the lack of time). For example I have not paid much attention to competing points of view, uncertainties and controversies. Missing references result from the fact that originally I referenced by sections, not single statements (which I still find hard to do). The most complete of the articles though, Poland in the Early Middle Ages, is a detailed account based on recent publications by Polish academicians (as well as historical sources) on the origin of the Slavs and of the Polish nation and state. This material had not previously been available in English and I find it perplexing that someone thinks it is of "Mid-importance". Too deep for an encyclopedia or not trivial enough?

Constitution of May 3, 1791 up for FAR

Constitution of May 3, 1791 has been nominated for a featured article review. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to featured quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, articles are moved onto the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article from featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Reviewers' concerns are here. D.M.N. (talk) 16:59, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Your arbitration case

Hi Piotrus, I do not have time to comment a lot at workshop, but let me simply tell what I think.

• The principles: WP is not a justice system. The purpose of ArbCom is to ensure good work of the project. To achieve that goal, they should provide good conditions for work of the most productive contributors, unless these contributors violate WP policies, as proven beyond the reasonable doubt.
• The findings.
  • (1) No convincing proofs was provided about you;
  • (2) There are long-standing EE conflicts, where the sides are unable or unwilling to negotiate (one of the sides is you). This must be resolved.
• Remedies.
  • (1) You and Deacon are advised to stay out of each other, because you do not have a significant overlap of interests, and because he is also a highly productive editor;
  • (2) Irpen should be placed on the Digwuren list, especially since the previous ArbCom case found him at fault; he also should be ordered not to edit any articles you edited, and do not comment about you;
  • (3) All other your alleged "tag-team" participants have relatively few edits and little contribution in the EE area (one can check their edit histories) - compare to you. Therefore, they should be ordered at least topic ban - on any EE subjects - not as a measure "justice", but simply to minimize the damage and provide more friendly working conditions in this area.Biophys (talk) 21:31, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
