Edit warring at Blue Army (Poland)
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. EdJohnston (talk) 00:49, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
Arbitration enforcement warning: Eastern Europe
Please carefully read the following notice:
This message is to inform you that the Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions for topics relating to Eastern Europe, which you may have edited. The Committee's decision can be read here.
Discretionary sanctions are intended to prevent further disruption to a topic which has already been significantly disrupted. In practical terms, this means that uninvolved administrators may impose sanctions for any conduct, within or relating to the topic, which fails to adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, expected standards of behavior and applicable policies. The sanctions may include editing restrictions, topic bans, or blocks. Before making any more edits to this topic area, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system as sanctions can be imposed without further warning. Please do not hesitate to contact me or any other editor if you have any questions.In particular, you are engaging in personal attacks ("malicious jerk"). Stop it, and please also do not use my talk page for content discussions. Sandstein 06:55, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.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. Sandstein 19:22, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
Formal mediation has been requested
The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Blue Army (Poland)". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 12 April 2014.
Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.

Request for mediation accepted
The request for formal mediation of the dispute concerning Blue Army (Poland), in which you were listed as a party, has been accepted by the Mediation Committee. The case will be assigned to an active mediator within two weeks, and mediation proceedings should begin shortly thereafter. Proceedings will begin at the case information page, Misplaced Pages:Requests for mediation/Blue Army (Poland), so please add this to your watchlist. Formal mediation is governed by the Mediation Committee and its Policy. The Policy, and especially the first two sections of the "Mediation" section, should be read if you have never participated in formal mediation. For a short guide to accepted cases, see the "Accepted requests" section of the Guide to formal mediation. You may also want to familiarise yourself with the internal Procedures of the Committee.
As mediation proceedings begin, be aware that formal mediation can only be successful if every participant approaches discussion in a professional and civil way, and is completely prepared to compromise. Please contact the Committee if anything is unclear.

Mediation - Brief introduction and update
Hi COD_T_3. This mediation is going to be significantly more structured than a simple freeflowing discussion. I emailed the committee over the weekend that I would take the case however I have been travelling until today. I am going to take the next 24 hours to read up on the previous discussions and read the article.
I have very briefly skimmed over the article. In short you both raise valid points. Neither of you are entirely right nor wrong in your opinions. There are certainly improvements that can be made and I think that whatever your individual opinions on the topic and article are, we should be fairly easily be able to find a solution which satisfies the requirements of sourcing, NPOV and yet not being destructive to the article.
Give me 24-48 hours and Ill have some tasks for you both to do so that we can get to work. One thing I do ask from both parties is patience, understanding and flexibility. Without any one of these and there is little point in mediation happening. You both raise valid points and we should work on those. I will be contactable offline as well as through wiki and I will provide you both with my contact details should you wish to utilize this.
I will be crossposting this to both of your talkpages since the message is entirely applicable to both of you :)
Will be contact soon. Seddon 19:53, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
