July 2014

Your recent editing history at Blue Army (Poland)‎ 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. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. — Malik Shabazz /_Stalk 20:47, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Blue Army RFC

I have reviewed my closure of the RFC. The RFC was poorly formed and was not straightforward to close. On the one hand, I am not willing to change the wording of my closure. On the other hand, I am willing to insert a properly formed RFC with Survey and Threaded Discussion sections and leave it open for 30 days, or to have another editor do that. Is that satisfactory?

You asked me to change the wording of the close. I considered doing that, although it violates the statement in the box that the discussion is closed, as per ignore all rules. I concluded that either the close can be left as is, or a new RFC is in order. Your call. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:45, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

By the way, Poland is in Eastern Europe as usually noted. This means that ArbCom discretionary sanctions are available for disruptive editing. If you think that another editor is being disruptive or tendentious, you can apply the discretionary sanctions warning to their talk page, {{subst:Ds/alert|ee}} .

Do you want a new RFC, or do you want to leave alone, or do you want to request closure review at WP:AN? I don't plan to change the wording of the close. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:45, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding Eastern Europe (Poland), a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.
