== File:AECases2020.png ==
Please excuse me if this isn't the correct way of contacting you, I am new to wikipedia. Your removal of my edits on the anti-schooling activism page are vast. Perhaps it would be better for you to contribute to an article on the positive aspects of schooling instead, as your edits don't seem to be very fair .
For example this sentence had 4 references supporting it yet you deleted it:
Academic pressure and rigorous schooling has been pointed to as a cause of the high rate of suicide among South Korean adolescents.


Hello. If you think this file is no longer useful for Misplaced Pages, set template {{tl|db-author}} on its description page, please. — Ирука<sup>]</sup> 22:59, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
If you thought one or two of the references didn't support the statement or weren't good references then it makes sense delete those references or edit the statement, but all the articles support the statement.
There is even a section on suicide because of school pressure here: https://en.wikipedia.org/Suicide_in_South_Korea
Why don't you delete that section as well? Is an NY times article about south korean suicide better than an NPR article?
This is just one example. In fact, most of the sentences you deleted have multiple references.


== ] ==
Edit: I now see the article has a talk page. I will copy my points there. Note someone else mentions agism in the talk section, which is something else you deleted.

{{ping|EvergreenFir}} - sure, the edit warring needs to stop.

For example, despite repeated inquiries they have not explained (in fact, they have not even tried to explain) why they are removing the graph but not the article text which says the exact same thing. That makes no sense. They just keep quoting that there's an RfC on ANOTHER article which is actually irrelevant.


Hello VolunteerMarek. I had a query about the reliability of ] on the ] article? I ask because you fully removed her opinion from the body on June 24 because it was apparently fringe, yet another even though it's not a summary of the body and with no remaining mention of Patnaik in the body. I think her view deserves some mention in the body but clearly what this anonymous user added is undue and not following Misplaced Pages's guidelines for the lead section. No other scholar even gets named in the lead apart from Patnaik. ] (]) 11:22, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Notice that now they've started a second edit war over other material in the article. Notice also, that this account stays dormant for days with no edits to Misplaced Pages but somehow immediately pops up if I make an edit to that article (or the related "List of..." article).

I'm not an advocate of any kind...my ONLY goal on WP is to contribute to the quality of this encyclopedia. I have worked to help promote GAs and FAs, and my editing patterns will support my claims. I don't give a big rat's behind what the topic is - I look only at the cited sources, the facts and how they are presented. I didn't fall of a pumpkin truck yesterday. I am a team player, unless a member of the team forces others to do things their way or the highway, and quite frankly, that is how you've treated me. I'm not some newbie who is going to go running with my tail tucked because the bully called me names - I will confront the situation, and do my best to defuse it. You've been editing WP for a very long time, you have done good work, and nobody is trying to take that away from you.

I didn't really know much about what Icewhiz did before I read your comment months ago and seeing FeydHuxtable write Not sure why several seem to think exceptional editors like Wifione & Icewhiz had malcious intent? Ice used to be a fellow ARS member, he was unusually gentle until he suffered severe provocation. He only sought adminship as a means to fight a certain evil. His play for adminship might have failed, but he simply kept taking things to a new level until his will proved too great for the community to resist. Much as I believe Ice was mistaken in seeing said evil as residing in certain edtiors or being tolerated by Misplaced Pages as a whole, one has to admire his ingenuity & determintation to achieve rightful victory (as he saw it). bothered me. I was hoping that maybe the diff I shared would be like a victim impact statement? But I also didn't want to speak on your behalf because obviously you can do so for yourself (hence the courtesy ping). But again, I didn't mean to remind you what you went through. If you don't want me to ping you about similar situations in the future, I'll respect that. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 14:09, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Editor experience invitation

Hi Volunteer Marek :) I'm looking to interview people here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 12:44, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the hat-tip

It was a pleasant surprise to see your mention of me when completing the editor reflection. I'm impressed that you remember my early forays into privacy protection, and am flattered that they had a positive influence on you. There is a certain irony that, having written some of this stuff more than 15 years ago, my RL name and username are practically used interchangeably within the movement, and I've presented in many public fora under my own name. Wishing you well in the coming year, Risker (talk) 21:33, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

The mention at ANI

can be ignored if you choose. Somebody thought they'd been outed is all. Or you can opine if you like but I just thought I would try to alleviate any christ what now thoughts you might have had. I'd give it a miss if I were you, since he will argue forever, but I didn't want to talk about you behind your back even in passing. Oh speaking of, if you still care about the place we do not name there's a thread about the steward elections; your name came up there but not in a bad way about you either Elinruby (talk) 16:30, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Request for amendment at WP:ARCA about World War II and the history of Jews in Poland

Hello Volunteer Marek,

a request for amendment that affects the 1-way interaction ban with Piotrus and a 1-way interaction ban with Volunteer Marek from the World War II and the history of Jews in Poland case has been made at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment § Amendment request: World War II and the history of Jews in Poland. Your input would be welcome.

Best regards,

Threading

This is unrelated to our back-and-forth, but it is on the same article talk page. I indented and moved your 04:57, 7 July 2024 reply to JDiala because it split their reply to themselves. I hope you don't mind. Link for review. If you revert, I won't contest it. While I'm here, I struck the DE comment and the explanation is available with my 06:15, 7 July 2024 reply. Carry on, Mr rnddude (talk) 06:31, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Utsa Patnaik

Hello VolunteerMarek. I had a query about the reliability of Utsa Patnaik on the Bengal Famine of 1943 article? I ask because you fully removed her opinion from the body on June 24 because it was apparently fringe, yet another anonymous user on July 1 added a whole paragraph sourced to Patnaik to the lead about inflation even though it's not a summary of the body and with no remaining mention of Patnaik in the body. I think her view deserves some mention in the body but clearly what this anonymous user added is undue and not following Misplaced Pages's guidelines for the lead section. No other scholar even gets named in the lead apart from Patnaik. 185.21.22.198 (talk) 11:22, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Patnaik , Monbiot and Hickel are most certainly fringe by any reasonable definition of fringe. “Comment is free” is not a reliable source. Volunteer Marek 18:49, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Arbitration motions regarding My very best wishes

The Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:

Remedies 5.1 and 5.2 of World War II and the history of Jews in Poland (the topic and interaction bans on My very best wishes, respectively) are repealed.

And it has resolved by another motion that:

My very best wishes' topic ban from World War II in Eastern Europe and the history of Jews in Eastern Europe, imposed under the Eastern Europe contentious topic procedures, is repealed.

For the Arbitration Committee, SilverLocust 💬 06:33, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Discuss this at: Misplaced Pages talk:Arbitration Committee/Noticeboard § Arbitration motions regarding My very best wishes

Arbitration amendment request archived

The request for amendment in which those two motions were proposed has been closed and is archived at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment/Archive 128#Amendment request: World War II and the history of Jews in Poland. The repeal of remedy 5.2 means that the ban on My very best wishes interacting with you has been lifted. SilverLocust 💬 07:30, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
