Dear Igny: Hello. This is just to let you know that you've been mentioned in the following request at the ], which is a ] initiative that resolves disputes by informal mediation.


The request can be found at ''']'''.
Hi Oleg,
I am relatively new here, but will try to contribute as much as I can.


Just so you know, it is entirely your choice whether or not you participate. If you wish to do so, and we'll see what we can do about getting this sorted out. At MedCab we aim to help all involved parties reach a solution and hope you will join in this effort.

Hello Igny, this is Mr. Stradivarius from the ]. The mediation has been going slowly recently, and as you might have seen from the mediation page, we have been talking about appointing spokespersons for each other to get things moving along. The other mediators and I have decided that it's best to impose a deadline for deciding spokespersons, otherwise it really doesn't look like this mediation is going to progress. So, we would like you to authorize another editor who you trust to be a spokesperson for your viewpoint, by '''12am, December 1st, 2011 (UTC)'''. If you do not decide a spokesperson by this time, then we will proceed with the mediation even if you provide no input. You can find more details on our ideas for spokespersons and on what has been discussed so far at ]. Thank you again for your cooperation. — <b style="text-shadow:0.15em 0.15em 0.1em #555; color: #194D00; font-style: oblique; font-family: Palatino, Times, serif">] <sup>]</sup></b> 11:02, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
==Please vote on ''list of lists'', a featured list candidate==


Also, here's ]'s outline of how the spokesperson system will work, for your reference: <blockquote>Basically how this works, two, three or four editors are appointed by the rest of the editors as spokespersons for their collective viewpoints. This spokesperson should be the only one who presents the views of the collective people he/she represents. I'm going to ask each of you to consider nominating a spokesperson, or who you would like to represent your viewpoints, and if you do not wish to do this, to provide an explanation and a commitment to remain active throughout the mediation case. We're still on the first issue and need to crank things up a gear.</blockquote> So please leave your username and who you would like to nominate as your spokesperson ]; or if you do not wish to nominate a spokesperson, please leave a commitment that you will remain active throughout the rest of the Holodomor mediation. Thanks again. — <b style="text-shadow:0.15em 0.15em 0.1em #555; color: #194D00; font-style: oblique; font-family: Palatino, Times, serif">] <sup>]</sup></b> 12:07, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

At the moment we are accepting statements from all participants, so if you want to make your position on this issue known, then now would be a very good time to contribute.

== Mediation Cabal: Case update ==
It's just I have a problem with the GNS inequality if you don't subtract off a constant term: taking u=constant\neq0 on the open unit disc would satisfy the conditions of the theorem, yet gives constant\leq0, which seems to be a contradiction. I have spoken to some of my professors about the GNS inequality and consulted the functional analysis book by Kantorovich, and they all say that you need to subtract off the mean of the function in the GNS inequality.

== Warning ==
Hi again Igny. Thanks for reference - very useful. I can see where the compact support comes into the proof now. So the variant of the GNS you provide is restricted to functions that are C_1 on the whole of R^n, but with compact support. This limits one to a narrow class of functions indeed.


Please note that edit warring does not require a 3RR "bright line infraction". Please self-revert your reinsertion of the "pov tag" ay yhe Baltic occupation article. Cheers. ] (]) 13:35, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
I have checked the literature and GNS applies to broader classes of functions:

* Functions defined on a compact, open domain of R^n with Lifshitz boundary. The function need not be C_1 on the whole of R^n then - it can be zero outside the domain in question. Then you have to subtract off the mean. See Kantorovich, p. 338.
::Miacek? Who is Miacek?--] (]) 00:04, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
* Periodic functions on the n-torus. Then the mean is subtracted off. See Gibbon and Doering, appendix I. This latter case is a generalization of the Poincare inequality.

Mediation Cabal: Request for participation

Dear Igny: Hello. This is just to let you know that you've been mentioned in the following request at the Mediation Cabal, which is a Misplaced Pages dispute resolution initiative that resolves disputes by informal mediation.

The request can be found at Misplaced Pages:Mediation Cabal/Cases/02 October 2011/Holodomor.

Just so you know, it is entirely your choice whether or not you participate. If you wish to do so, and we'll see what we can do about getting this sorted out. At MedCab we aim to help all involved parties reach a solution and hope you will join in this effort.

If you have any questions relating to this or any other issue needing mediation, you can ask on the case talk page, the MedCab talk page, or you can ask the mediator, Steven Zhang, at their talk page.

Holodomor mediation spokespersons

Hello Igny, this is Mr. Stradivarius from the Holodomor Medcab mediation. The mediation has been going slowly recently, and as you might have seen from the mediation page, we have been talking about appointing spokespersons for each other to get things moving along. The other mediators and I have decided that it's best to impose a deadline for deciding spokespersons, otherwise it really doesn't look like this mediation is going to progress. So, we would like you to authorize another editor who you trust to be a spokesperson for your viewpoint, by 12am, December 1st, 2011 (UTC). If you do not decide a spokesperson by this time, then we will proceed with the mediation even if you provide no input. You can find more details on our ideas for spokespersons and on what has been discussed so far at the spokespersons section on the mediation page. Thank you again for your cooperation. — Mr. Stradivarius 11:02, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Also, here's User:Steven Zhang's outline of how the spokesperson system will work, for your reference:

Basically how this works, two, three or four editors are appointed by the rest of the editors as spokespersons for their collective viewpoints. This spokesperson should be the only one who presents the views of the collective people he/she represents. I'm going to ask each of you to consider nominating a spokesperson, or who you would like to represent your viewpoints, and if you do not wish to do this, to provide an explanation and a commitment to remain active throughout the mediation case. We're still on the first issue and need to crank things up a gear.

So please leave your username and who you would like to nominate as your spokesperson here; or if you do not wish to nominate a spokesperson, please leave a commitment that you will remain active throughout the rest of the Holodomor mediation. Thanks again. — Mr. Stradivarius 12:07, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

This is a note to let you know that the deadline for deciding spokespersons has passed, and that we will be progressing with the mediation without your input. You are, of course, free to comment or to nominate a spokesperson at any time. Best — Mr. Stradivarius 11:11, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Mediation Cabal: Case update

Dear Igny: Hello, this is to let you know that a Mediation Cabal case that you are involved in, or have some connection with:

Misplaced Pages:Mediation Cabal/Cases/02 October 2011/Holodomor

is currently inactive as it has not been edited in at least a week. If the issues in the case have been resolved, please let us know on our talk page so we can close the case. If there are still issues that need to be addressed, let us know. If your mediator has become inactive, also let us know. The case will be closed in one month if it remains inactive. You can let us know what's going on by sending a message through to your mediator, Steven Zhang, on their talk page. Thanks! MedcabBot (talk) 12:18, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Holodomor mediation issue two

Hi Igny, this is a boilerplate message to let you know that we have moved on to issue two of the Holodomor mediation, victim estimates. At the moment we are accepting statements from all participants, so if you want to make your position on this issue known, then now would be a very good time to contribute. Your statement should be no longer than 200 words, and should include both your opinion on the issue and what you hope will be addressed in the mediation. We will be accepting statements until 00:00, 22 December 2011 (UTC), or until we have statements from all spokespersons. Please note, however, that even if you miss this deadline you are free to contribute to the mediation at any time. You can find the appropriate section on the mediation page here. All the best — Mr. Stradivarius 06:47, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Dispute resolution survey

Dispute Resolution – Survey Invite


Hello Igny. I am currently conducting a study on the dispute resolution processes on the English Misplaced Pages, in the hope that the results will help improve these processes in the future. Whether you have used dispute resolution a little or a lot, now we need to know about your experience. The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released.

Please click HERE to participate.
Many thanks in advance for your comments and thoughts.


You are receiving this invitation because you have had some activity in dispute resolution over the past year. For more information, please see the associated research page. Steven Zhang 01:20, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Warning

Please note that edit warring does not require a 3RR "bright line infraction". Please self-revert your reinsertion of the "pov tag" ay yhe Baltic occupation article. Cheers. Collect (talk) 13:35, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Igny, please, do not revert Estlandia's revert. In this situation one must stay cool.--Paul Siebert (talk) 20:27, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

You would think that Miacek would know better than do WP:NINJA reverts for his buddies... (Igny (talk) 23:13, 17 June 2012 (UTC))
Miacek? Who is Miacek?--Paul Siebert (talk) 00:04, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
User:Miacek was one of WP:EEML#Involved parties. At that time it was highly surprising because he was known for his integrity in many WP aspects. That is also why I found it rather surprising for him to get involved here... (Igny (talk) 00:13, 18 June 2012 (UTC))
Aha, I thought he was some new uninvolved user. I suggest you to behave as cautious and as cool as possible. In my opinion, jumping into this swamp right after the end of your topic ban was a mistake. BTW, do you have any idea about User:UUNC? If it was you who asked him to comment, it would be correct to explain that openly. We must be as honest as possible.--Paul Siebert (talk) 00:20, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
Actually, I could not care less about my topic ban. It actually ended two months ago which my opponents clearly do not realize in their ad hominem arguments and personal attacks. I was hoping to stay away from this swamp for one full year, but I could not pass Martin's unilateral decision to rename Template:Occupation and annexation of the Baltic states sidebar. I do not know much about UUNC. I suspect he is a WP:SOCK, but I have no clear idea who was behind him. There were a multitude of pro-Russian editors banned from EE (including, to my surprise, Russiavia) UUNC could be any one of them. It was also possible that it was merely a bait, a provocation for me from my oponents.(Igny (talk) 00:31, 18 June 2012 (UTC))
I know noone who expressed interest to this area and who was recently banned. AFAIK, Russavia didn't edit the article belonging to that family.--Paul Siebert (talk) 00:36, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
If the POV tag will be removed again, do not try to restore it, please. Let's wait.--Paul Siebert (talk) 02:15, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
Igny, 'editors' instead of 'opponents', lest someone think you are on the wp:battleground. Darkstar1st (talk) 02:40, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

There is a report on you at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Igny reported by User:Toddy1 (Result: )--Toddy1 (talk) 06:15, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Usually joining an edit war is not part of the procedure to report an edit war. Just so you know... (Igny (talk) 09:25, 19 June 2012 (UTC))

AE report

You are subject of an AE report here. --Nug (talk) 10:31, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

June 2012

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for your disruption caused by edit warring and violation of the three-revert rule at Baltic states. 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 would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 15:51, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Notice of arbitration enforcement

As the result of an arbitration enforcement discussion, you are notified that you are topic banned indefinitely from the subject of Eastern Europe, broadly construed. This ban includes, but is not limited to, discussion of the subject on any page on Misplaced Pages, except to file an appeal to your sanction in the proper venue. You may appeal the sanction to the imposing administrator, the arbitration enforcement noticeboard, or the arbitration committee, either on the basis of error or to appeal for the sanction to be lifted after a period of good behavior. While the ban is in force, any edit in defiance of the ban will lead to a block from editing. Seraphimblade 07:18, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
