I remove only Soviet nonsense with dubious or strongly partisan sources:
* "Some think of Kolchak" - taken from forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=127527&start=0, total nonsense about ultra-right wing parties, most ministers in Kolchaks government were socialists.
* Piece from Soviet Russia pictorial published Soviet Government Bureau and Friends of Soviet Russia - strongly partisan source. Especially funny as Lenin himself ordered to blow up the railways many times.
* "follow the example of the Japanese who, in the Amur region, had exterminated the local population" - this is nonsense both about Kolchack and Japanese, who did not exterminate local population.
* piece about people 25000 shot in Ekaterinburg from BSE - total nonsense.

In ], is there another qualifier that could be used instead of "illegally"?

Soviet Union was expelled from League of Nations for violation of Covenant of the League. But this is not a law, but document of the League of Nations, so the term "illegally" doesn't apply there.] (]) 12:23, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
::Technically what makes something illegal is solely the fact that it is a violation of some "rule", which we commonly refer to as a "law". For example, the ten commandments are not "laws" in todays sense of the word, but don't try to tell that to any orthodox Jew who considers them to be the only laws that exist. By the 19th century only three of the ten commandments were still considered worthy of making into laws - thou shalt not kill and thou shalt not steal, plus thou shalt not bear false witness. Of the many laws punishable by death 2,000 years ago, most are no longer illegal today, and most of the laws today were not even considered inappropriate actions 2,000 years ago. So a violation of something written is what we call doing something "illegal", but if you can find a better word to describe "they were kicked out of the League of Nations for a violation of the Covenant of the League" than "illegally invading" that would be great. ] (]) 13:05, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

*Comment. I'm not sure I like the idea of someone using the edit name "Donald Duck" unless that is their real name, and I would not encourage them to attempt to violate a block, but I also think that indef blocks for someone who is clearly making good faith edits, but just doesn't get a clue what 3RR is about needs a different approach than just "go away". Just my 2 cents worth. Note to DonaldDuck - read the appeal guide carefully. WP Admins have a tough job to do - stopping millions of bad edits, and they tend to take the easy way out instead of seeking a solution. Don't make it easy for them by ignoring them. 3RR is there for a reason. If you have a disagreement about content, use mediation, not edit warring. It works better. ] (]) 13:20, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

The reason for my block was 3RR in ] article.

1. In the first paragraph ], you may see what was this edit war about. There are 12(!) different variants of the article title. I was trying to remove just one of them, "Russian despotism", which was in my opinion non-NPOV, and raised considerable controversy

2. I did not make more then 3 reverts in 24h in this article. The ] does not apply to me directly.
3. I did not avoid dispute resolution, and discussed article content with other editors on ] page.
4. My edits in this article were supported by ].
and ]

5. While I was blocked indefinitely, the other participant of the edit war ], who made about 10 reverts in the same article, was not even warned. This is not impartial.

6. As for my block history, it is 3 short-term blocks in 3 years of editing (I have started editing in 2006). I hope this is not too much and does not justify indefinite block. I promise to avoid edit wars and content disputes in future.] (]) 08:25, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

:Responses. 1, 4 are irrelevant. The merits of your edits are not the question here, it's your edit warring. 2. Unimportant. Yes, the blocking admin cited 3RR; I haven't even checked carefully to see if your claim is true, but regardless you were clearly edit warring over the course of several days. 3. Talk page participation means little when it is not accompanied by honest engagement, that is, ceasing reverts while the matter is under discussion. 5. Piotrus' behavior isn't relevant to your block. I don't see his participation being anywhere equivalent to yours either, and claiming that the block is "not impartial" just doesn't follow. 6. Your promise rings hollow in light of your behavior, and your several blocks, including one at this same article this same year for a week with a final warning to cease edit warring, have apparently not led to you understanding the problem with your behavior. I have no objection in principle to a second chance if you can truly understand the problem with your editing to this point, but that hasn't happened yet. ]]<sup>]</sup> 02:20, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
::2. Specific Misplaced Pages rules and policies such as ] are unimportant? Then why does Misplaced Pages have any rules at all? Blocking admin cited 3RR as a reason for my block while I did not break 3RR. This is not fair in my opinion. Recommended duration of block for ] is less than 24 hours, while I was blocked indefinitely. Should admins follow any wiki guidelines or just some inner feeling?
::5. Piotrus is very experienced edit warrior (I think this can be proven by 2 arbitration requests ] ]). He doesn't make too much reverts himself, avoids breaking 3RR, uses support from friendly editors, camouflages reverts by other minor edits. He often ] articles and reverts any edits differing from his own version. In ] he reverted ( ) edits by other editors after I was blocked. I'm writing this not to blame Pioutrus, but to show that I was not the only person behind the edit war.] (]) 05:55, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
:::]ing will not get you anywhere, and again, this is not about Piotrus, and no one is about to block him for something he did over 2 weeks ago even if he deserved it. Read ] -- you aren't going to get anywhere on the grounds that your block is unfair on some kind of technicality, when what you did was disruptive and blockable. ]]<sup>]</sup> 13:21, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
