Caro @
Pequod76: ti rispondo qui, anziché sulla tua talk, perché mi sono accorto che questa risposta, anche se è per te, non è solo per te. Preferisco quindi questo spazio.
Su una cosa voglio rassicurarti subito. Non ho rinunciato affatto alla “battaglia di principio” più importante, scrivere l'enciclopedia. Semplicemente, penso di poterla portare avanti altrove, in modo più proficuo e meno stressante: qui su en.wiki, spero, e in altri luoghi di ricerca. La mia risposta a Gianfranco è stata ben ponderata, era pronta da tempo e sono fiducioso che mi porterà più felicità e lavoro produttivo. L'adesione al progetto quindi non è cessata, si è solo trasferita di sede.
La verità è che collaborare con voi è troppo faticoso, almeno per me. Non mi riferisco a te personalmente: tu sei prezioso, Pequod, sai quanto ti stimo. E come per te, ho stima per molti altri:
Frognall,
Carmela Angela,
LarManLor,
Giannidice,
Cloj,
Mαρκος,
Parma1983,
Er Cicero,
WalrusMichele,
Etienne,
Sakretsu,
Camelia.boban e chissà quanti ne dimentico (ho ovviamente perso le mie pagine di discussione). Posso collaborare benissimo anche con persone con cui sono spesso in disaccordo, come Kirk39, TrinacrianGolem o Tommasucci. Persino Ignis ho molto rivalutato col tempo: penso che la colpa di quel che è successo tra noi sia soprattutto nella patologica insufficienza dei meccanismi di soluzione dei conflitti su it.wiki. E non mi riferisco alla mancanza dell'ArbCom, ma al fatto che gli admin di regola si astengono, se possibile, dalle discussioni tra un collega e un utente sconosciuto, sospetto "problematico", e quando partecipano evitano di prendere apertamente posizione a favore di quest'ultimo. Altro che ArbCom, su it.wiki non ci sono nemmeno la mediazione e la RdP! Come possono funzionare bene le cose così?
Ho fatto questo elenco (incompleto) di utenti perché mi dispiace non averli potuti salutare e in alcuni casi nemmeno conoscere, cioè non abbiamo quasi interagito. Mi piacerebbe trovare un modo per far loro arrivare il mio congedo e ringraziamento (puoi aiutarmi in questo?). Avete utenti preziosi su it.wiki ma l’ambiente – soprattutto l’adminship e alcune utenze storiche – è spesso inospitale. Potrei sbagliare su questo, ma sono convinto che la ragione sia che, non essendovi mai dati delle procedure, non siete nemmeno riusciti a sviluppare una cultura interna della fairness: nessun tipo di equanimità e distacco. In mancanza di procedure, qualsiasi tipo di autorità – anche quella che si basa sul prestigio, sull’esperienza e dedizione al progetto – prima o poi è condannata ad essere “cricca”, cioè potere arbitrario personale. Lo è agli occhi degli outsider, che facilmente si sentono umiliati e trattati ingiustamente, e lo è nei fatti.
L’ultimo episodio non voglio commentarlo, tanto è chiaro e lampante. Dopo quel che è successo su quella pagina, che è sotto gli occhi di tutti, il cartellino giallo me lo becco io? Anzi, due cartellini gialli, se consideriamo la vicenda del Manuale di stile. Come è possibile giustificare quel genere di aggressioni? Rispondimi Pequod, per favore: ti sembrano conformi alle linee-guida del progetto o sono abusi? Se pensi che quei cartellini gialli e tutta la dinamica che li ha prodotti siano giustificabili, allora ha pienamente ragione Gianfranco: incompatibilità con il Progetto (non però violazione irredimibile della WikiQuette, quella no: io sono sempre stato testardo, ma educato e rispettoso con tutti).
Comunque in quell’ambiente non posso lavorare sereno, e non riesco a pensare una ragione per restare. Da tempo le persone che mi vogliono bene si stupiscono e mi chiedono chi me lo faccia fare: perché accettare quelle dinamiche degradanti, avendo del resto io altre cose importanti di cui occuparmi (due figlie, una moglie e un lavoro)? Alla fine a questa domanda non sono più riuscito a trovare una risposta sensata, di qui la decisione di andarmene. Ma, ti ripeto, non ho nessuna intenzione di rinunciare alla “battaglia”: il mio andarmene è un “arrivederci altrove”. Ti auguro buon tutto, spero che prima o poi riusciate a risolvere i problemi che vi travagliano e che, temo, non coincidono con la mia contribuzione (quella ve la siete tolta), problemi che potrebbero tormentare altri utenti in futuro come lo hanno fatto in passato. Ma se tu avessi bisogno di qualcosa, wikipidianamente parlando, mi trovi qui. Non ho nessun rancore verso di te e spero che ci potremo incontrare ancora.
P.S. e fate qualcosa per la storia dei concetti, su! Il mio STUB fa schifo e non è pubblicabile, IMHO, ma il tema merita il lavoro di qualcuno, prima o poi. --

Ciao Gitz6666, non ho pratica di questa wiki, ma ti voglio esprimere la mia vicinanza e il rammarico di aver ricevuto la segnalazione della discussione sull'arbitrato troppo tardi. Io non credo di contare gran che in it.wiki, ma il tuo lavoro sul Protestantesimo ha fatto nascere in me la speranza che si potesse collaborare, tu su quel versante, io su quello cattolico. Ti stimo per la caratura delle tue capacità e per aver sognato una realtà più concreta, umana, tollerante. Ti abbraccio e mi auguro che si facciano avanti anche altri: grazie di tutto. -- AmaliaMM ( talk) 17:25, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

... di essermi accorto di quanto stava accadendo quando ormai la frittata era fatta. Forse (e sottolineo forse!) avrei potuto provare a darti qualche umile consiglio su come porti in certi frangenti, ossia astenersi dal rimbeccare a caldo, contare fino a mille e magari cambiare pagina e passare a occuparsi d'altro. In parte scherzo, e in parte no. Normale che ci siano vedute diverse tra gli utenti di una wiki, come pure tra wiki diverse. Se in tante wiki l'arbitrato è già una realtà, questo non significa che debba essere presente anche su it.wiki. Forse, banalmente, i tempi non sono maturi, inutile incaponirsi per accelerarli, ammesso pure che un giorno ci arriveremo, inutile un muro contro muro che ha spesso conseguenze spiacevoli, molto spiacevoli. Ci sono cose che io non condivido, ma SE l'obiettivo primario è collaborare al Progetto, tutto il resto deve passare in secondo piano, accettiamo serenamente anche le regole che meno ci piacciono e tiremm innanz. Pensa che giusto ieri sera t'avevo mandato un ping per Caravaggio, sperando così di risolvere un aspetto che avevi segnalato, e quando Tommasucci mi ha fatto notare quello che era successo sono rimasto senza parole. Ti esprimo il mio sincero apprezzamento per come ti ho visto operare nella rubrica e ti saluto cordialmente. -- Er Cicero ( talk) 09:18, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Good day Gitz6666. Thank you very much for your attention to the article Elizabeth Stanhope, Countess of Chesterfield. Few editors seem to add citations and your contribution is therefore especially precious and welcome. Unluckily, you seem to have the wrong lady. The description of a beautiful lady on page 141, which you cite, is that of Miss Hamilton. Lady Chesterfield is described on p 167. Besides, you cite the book as {{Cite book|last=Hamilton|first=Anthony|url=https://archive.org/details/memoirscountgram00hamimiss/page/n175/mode/2up|title=Memoirs of Count Grammont|publisher=E.L. Carey & A. Hart|year=1836|location=Philadelphia|pages=141|author-link=Antoine Hamilton}} I do not find a publication date on this edition and the title page indicates that the publisher is David McKay and not E.L. Carey & A. Hart as you say. Where did you get the information from? I edited the article and corrected the page citing from the Gebbie edition of 1888, which is better documented but identical for the rest. How did you get to Elizabeth Stanhope, Countess of Chesterfield? Do you have a special interest in her or in Antoine Hamilton and his book?

The draft at User:Gitz6666/sandbox4 for Indiscriminate attack(s) looks good and very likely to survive any notability challenges, IMHO, though I see it's still in draft stage. There might be a debate about how similar articles in Wikipedia are named - as singular or plural. Singular is more like a dictionary definition, and plural is more about "the thing in general" - that's my impression, at least for categories. But mainspace usage will count more than category style. This is an obviously important article. There are some fields of knowledge where en.Wikipedia is still missing many key articles. Boud ( talk) 16:35, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
I've just tweaked two of your recent edits re this; see the edit summary here, which mentions the other edit. What I've done here probably needs improvement in both articles edited. The Indiscriminate attack article might also need improvement, as suggested there. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 22:24, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
Hi Gitz, I've seen you created the article on Hugo Krabbe and wanted it to be reviewed. What I mention is just what I see as good on wikipedia, but I had rather good experiences with this. I tend to add a source for each phrase (except for the lead). The article seems to have solid sources and if you could add a source to the end of each phrase the article might catch more interest from a potential reviewer. I do not though offer myself as reviewer, this is just some advice as I wouldn't be encouraged to review in this state. But from my point of view the article sure has a potential for a GA and judging from the sources you are not far from it. Paradise Chronicle ( talk) 19:42, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Gitz6666. Thanks for your comment at
Talk:Trans woman. I
took the liberty of modifying the break tags in your comment to <br/>
, because an unclosed break tag screws up
syntax highlighting for the remainder of any page upon which it appears. In general, you should just
use a blank line to indicate a paragraph break in your comments. If you're in a situation where you think a break tag is required and a blank line just won't do for some reason, then please either close your break tag with a slash, or even better, use the mini-template {{
br}} instead, which has some other advantages as well (see the doc). Thanks, and happy editing!

I am currently working on an article about treatment of POWs in the war in Ukraine (the main war crimes article is too big, "war crime" also doesn't cover everything on mistreatment of POWs apparently, as exposure of POWs by Ukraine and mistreatment by both sides weren't included in the main article, similar with 'no quarter' orders), but, as expected, it won't be an easy job, i have made a sketch on my sandbox ( User:SnoopyBird/sandbox), i'd appreciate if you could hop by there and maybe help me with some things.
the main problem right now is to change some stuff, because, as of right now, it is kind of a copy-paste of the section in the war crimes article with a few changes, i also couldn't find the content on exposure/mistreatment of POWs and 'no quarter' orders in the war crimes article (it was removed, but i cant find anything on it in the page history), so, if you can find that, feel free to add it.
thanks in advance. SnoopyBird ( talk) 00:31, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

Gitz6666, since you've now chosen to start editing articles in the topic area of Poland and the Holocaust (which I'm sure you know is under discretionary sanctions), and since you had never edited this topic area before, I feel compelled to comment. Since replying to this comment may potentially violate your topic ban from the Russian-Ukrainian topics, you do not have to respond, or can respond privately by email - regardless, I personally will not see a reply to this - whatever it says - as a breach of the topic ban, I will not report you anywhere for replying and if someone else does I will defend you on the basis of this message right here.
Let me express my primary concern right at the outset. It is definitely eye-brow raising that you would choose to appear in this topic area immediately after you were topic banned in another topic area, in good part because of the disputes between me and you. This is especially concerning given that I've noted before that you have a tendency to follow me around (stalk) and appear out of the blue on articles I'm involved in. Before this you were doing this across different articles within the same topic area (Russia-Ukraine) now that you got a topic ban there, it involves skipping across topic areas.
Having said that allow me to say I regard you as an smart, constructive and valuable contributor to Wikipedia. I do think there are certain parts to your approach which get you into trouble but there's no point in rehashing these. I think it's quite likely that your contributions in this new topic area will be quite valuable as well and welcome your participation. The topic area could definitely use more active editors (if you want a short list of "things need to be done" let me know or ask User:Ealdgyth). You have a good nose for sources and write well so there's much you can contribute. My obvious concern is that you are only editing these articles simply because I am involved and that you may hold grudges or vendettas from our interactions in the other topic area. I am 100% willing to put those concerns aside and AGF the hell out of your appearance, precisely because I think you can do a lot of good here. I, personally, do not hold grudges and I'm always ready to turn over a new leaf and collaborate productively with (almost) anyone.
Like any other contentious area, this topic has a lot of institutional history and context. If you need any help or are simply curious about anything related to the area (like... who is Icewhiz? Just an example) let me know. I do sincerely look forward to your contributions. Volunteer Marek 16:49, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
have a tendency to follow [you] around (stalk) and appear out of the blue on articles [you are] involved in; on the contrary, I know that you and MVBW were following me around in the area with an uncooperative/blocking attitude. I also know that on several occasions I avoided editing articles and commenting in discussions for the sole reason that you were active there. Bottom line, this shared feeling of being haunted by the other proves that there was an exhausting editorial conflict between us, and I have no desire to resume it.
So apparently this was a false hope huh? That's what I get for doing the AGF. Volunteer Marek 08:59, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
Dear Gitz, In addition to the GA Review for the article Hugo Krabbe I also wanted to open another channel of communication with you where I can chat outside of the official review process. With regard to the infobox picture I had the impression that you wanted to remove the dark frame with its Latin inscription. This can be done with the template "CSS image crop" or you can also crop the image and save a cropped version in Wikimedia Commons for this purpose. In biographies I like to show a cropped passport-photo-like picture in the infobox and give in addition the original full portrait further down in the body. See e.g. Gustavus Hamilton, 2nd Viscount Boyne, or Antoine Hamilton, but of course you do not need to follow that style. I wonder what you think about it. Whenever I do this, I add "Detail from the portrait below" by way of a title. Otherwise, editors come along and delete the "CSS image crop", probably simply because it is such an easy way to increment their edit count. – I looked at Hugo Krabbe in other languages. In addition to English, Wikipedia has this article in Russian, Indonesian, German, Italian, and Dutch. I can read the last three and I guess so can you. I find it very strange that Krabbe is described as a "filosofo danese" (Danish philosopher) rather than "professore di diritto olandese" (or similar) in the lead of the Italian article. Quite a few of Krabbe's Dutch terminology is difficult to translate. I hope you do not mind my criticism. Don't we pull together on the same string to improve Wikipedia? I hope we can learn from each other to do this even better. With best regards, Johannes Schade ( talk) 20:59, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

In this edit you incorrectly wrote that the Blue Police were "Jewish collaborators". Of course, the Blue Police were ethnic Poles and I corrected the error here. I'm guessing this was either bad wording on your part or you simply confused two things. Either way, unless somebody wishes to challenge the correction, which would be silly, that's all there is to this as far as we're concerned.
But. It occurred to me that this is a pretty good opportunity to illustrate how this topic area got so bad and vicious to began with, back in 2018 (and maybe again now), and also the way in which the G&K paper is written.
Suppose that you were not Gitz666, suppose you were a "Polish editor" (I know you're not, this wouldn't have actually mattered). Well, Icewhiz would have already filed a WP:AE report on this before you even woke up. In it you'd be accused of "Holocaust distortion" and he'd claim that you were "perpetuating a hoax" that the Blue Police were Jewish. A few of his supporters would show up to that report. One would perhaps shake their head sadly and act really disappointed and ask, with tears in their Wikipedia eyes, how an editor who makes such edits is even allowed to edit Wikipedia. Another one, would jump in yelling about how this is a long standing pattern, that you have already been topic banned from other areas, that you made some edit 15 years ago that were also problematic, that unless administrators take extreme action against you immediately, all of Wikipedia will collapse within a fortnight. Maybe even some uninvolved person would take a look and say "yeah, this looks bad, the Blue Police weren't Jewish". Because out of context, it WOULD look bad. Your pleas that you had no problem with this being corrected would fall on deaf ears. If someone showed up to defend you and point out that it could've just been a simple error and that you seemed not to object to the correction, Icewhiz and others would accuse them of tag teaming and of being part of some big conspiracy and someone would state that it's very strange that an editor who edits in a topic area shows up to a WP:AE report on that topic and that the very fact they're defending you is suspicious in itself and insinuate you're somehow coordinating with them.
Even if you quickly corrected your error, it wouldn't have mattered. This "diff" is just too good to pass up.
Now, WP:AE admins can actually be pretty good (at least these days) and they'd probably discern that this was a simple mistake and just warn you to be more careful in the future or some such. Or you'd get unlucky and some trigger happy admin would slap a topic ban on you.
A few months later, a sock puppet or some such, would go and add this edit of yours to "List of Hoaxes" on Wikipedia or similar. Maybe you'd remove it because it was an error not a hoax but then Icewhiz or someone would jump in and restore it and go to ArbCom demanding a new case or something. Whenever you ran into Icewhiz, he'd bring up this very diff of your error and repeat the claim that you were spreading hoaxes on Wikipedia, despite the fact that this has been explained as a simple mistake repeatedly. Oh wait, in fact, if you claimed it was a "simple error" that would be used against you too - the response would be that there's nothing "simple" about it and that kind of comment illustrates that you are trivializing the Holocaust.
Sooner or later Icewhiz would be banned though. Editors like him always are. It's more of a question of how much damage they do in the meantime and how many people they hurt before some admin finally figures out how bad news that kind of editor is. But that wouldn't end it. A twitter account would pop up and accuse you of blaming Jews for the Holocaust because you wrote that the Blue Police were Jewish. Icewhiz would make sock puppets and keep re-adding this diff to reports and discussions. Those Icewhiz supporters would show up to these discussions and fan the flames. Icewhiz would contact an outside person, maybe a journalist, maybe an academic and convince them that you are part of some grand conspiracy and use this diff as evidence. You. Wrote. That. Blue. Police. Were. Jewish. Accidentally and probably just with bad choice of wording and bad sentence structure, but you did. It would be trivial to write that up pretending that this was intentional and deliberate and that you are doing it because you are a Polish nationalist. And some people would eat that right up.
All this might sound hyperbolic. It's actually an understatement. I skipped all the parts about how this would be accompanied by being outed, threats, abuse, your family would get doxed, and all the other pleasantries that come along with editing in this topic area (unless you're anonymous). It's the story of Icewhiz in a nutshell.
And this is how a topic area gets destroyed. Specifically how collegiality and capacity for cooperation gets completely destroyed. We're still dealing with this crap four years after Icewhiz got topic banned. This is why this topic area is so toxic. And here is the sad-funny thing. All those discretionary sanctions and extra special admin powers? They actually make things worse. Precisely because they encourage this type of behavior. Why bother working out a compromise with someone when it's so much easier to try to get them banned over an accidental mistake, like the one you made here? Why let it go, acknowledge that errors get made and what matters is if they are corrected, when the admins made seeking sanctions against others so cheap and easy to get? It almost seems like some admins actively encouraged - in the past, not now - exactly this kind of behavior (if you have a problem write a report! Stop bickering on the talk page, bring it to AE!) and then... turned around and complained about how battlground-ish the area had become. Sheesh.
I think most of your edits are fine. And I hope that collaboration and collegiality can be restored to this topic area. Volunteer Marek 06:27, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
OK, I've decided to accept El C’s invitation to be more straightforward and clearly state my point of view on Icewhiz. Note, however, that mine is a relatively uninformed point of view: I know little about their activities on and off Wikipedia and have not yet delved into talk page discussions.
My starting point is that indeed there is a "distortion" in most of the articles on Holocaust in Poland and Jewish/Polish relations. I knew this for a fact even before the G&K article was published, although I did not suspect the extent of the distortion. I don't know whose fault it is, nor whether the distortion is malicious and deliberate, as G&K claim, or accidental and even physiological, given the peculiarities of the Polish war experience [25] and Polish historiography and politics [26]. However, I believe that G&K are right in their assessment of the content of our articles, which do often contain errors, lack balance and are influenced by a pro-Polish (nationalist) bias. If one doesn't agree with this, what follows makes no sense.
If one accepts my starting point and acknowledges that there is a systematic bias of this kind, which for one reason or another couldn't be addressed and corrected through the usual editing process (e.g., improvements got stonewalled, consensus couldn't be reached, etc.), then one consequence follows: it was inevitable that an Icewhiz of some kind would arise sooner or later, the arch-POV-pusher ready to do anything to publish their content, heedless of any WP policy and guideline and even common decency. They'd choose the username FreeBlinkHey (Treblinka) or Book&Wall (Buchenwald) or Icewhiz (Auschwitz) or whatever, and devote their entire life to right this wrong, creating armies of sockpuppets, canvassing in and off-Wiki, doxing and threatening, bludgeoning the talk pages like mad until laptops start bleeding on their own. I myself am not Jewish, but both my father and wife are, my relatives and in-laws have been persecuted in no less than three different countries (no concentration camps, though), and I sense the power of trauma, the energy and concentration it gives you.
From the point of view of WP policies and guidelines, the issue is quite simple: users of this type are egregious POV-pushers who must be topic banned and blocked as soon as they show up. Surely Icewhiz got what they deserved and nobody can complain about it. But if WP collaborative editing doesn't work and the articles on the Holocaust are unbalanced, the arrival of Icewhiz-like monsters is inevitable. It's like when a clogged pipe bursts from water pressure – you can't blame the water. That's the reason why the lamentations "Icewhiz is a catastrophe, a scourge, one of our worst harassers, etc.", while not wrong, don't cut to the chase, and the accusation "the G&K article is copied from Icewhiz's content" doesn't persuade either. Icewhiz is the symptom, not the cause. It's not Icewhiz who created Icewhiz's content, but Icewhiz's content (the need to rebalance the area) that created the arch-POV-pusher Icewhiz.

Hello Gitz6666,
You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/Evidence. Please add your evidence by April 04, 2023, which is when the first evidence phase closes. Submitted evidence will be summarized by Arbitrators and Clerks at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/Evidence/Summary. Owing to the summary style, editors are encouraged to submit evidence in small chunks sooner rather than more complete evidence later.
Details about the summary page, the two phases of evidence, a timeline and other answers to frequently asked questions can be found at the case's FAQ page.
For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration.

The article Hugo Krabbe you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Hugo Krabbe for comments about the article, and Talk:Hugo Krabbe/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Dear Gitz. Hugo Krabbe is promoted to GA. Was lange währt wird endlich gut! (German proverb). Surely the longest GA Review I ever conducted. The excellent quality of your collaborative participation in this effort made it worthwhile and enjoyable. Thank you so much! Hope to meet you soon again.

Hello! Your submission of Hugo Krabbe at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified.

I see that you are about to submit a new evidence. I can not talk for other contributors, but can explain myself to avoid misunderstanding.
multiple references to a book by Cambridge University Press [29], to Harvard University Press, to Financial Times, etc.In fact:
Decades later, reclaiming pre-war property would lead to a number of controversies, and the matter is still debated by media and scholars as of late 2010s.
Impoverished claimants could however obtain exemptions from court for legal fees; financial and legal assistance was provided by various Jewish organizations.
The majority of Jewish claimants could not afford the restitution process without financial help due to the filing costs, legal fees, and inheritance tax.
Fees were also problematic and for many people became a major obstacle to property restitution. The cost of inserting the notices alone was 800 zloty (…) Hereditary taxes and lawyers’ fees had to be paid as well. (…) All together the expenses usually amounted to about 20,000 zloty (200 dollars). The majority of Jewish claimants residing in Poland could not afford to pay the fees without the help of the CKZP (which also offered free legal aid) or without obtaining an exemption form court and lawyer fees called “poor man’s benefit”
Because we have worked ot make the evidence summary as neutral as possible, many editors have wanted the interoperation they did fully considered and so we've bee doing that by copying over to analysis. If you're not concerned about that, no need to revert. Barkeep49 ( talk) 22:20, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

VM has been unashamedly WP:CANVASSing here below) but no admin at AE made any comment on this. Therefore I thought I was wrong and VM was right: AE requests are not community discussions where WP:CANVASS applies because the final decision is not based on community consensus but is made by admins alone. This is the reason I gave myself to explain why AE admins did not react to that apparent, highly visible canvass and to my repeated protests.
I think you're wrong because this is not a community discussion and the final decision will be taken by admins. If you're right, however, then VM would have made the most blatant canvass in his statement at AE when he selectively pinged six editors who had criticised me during a previous discussion at AN/I( here).
consensus decision-making process[es]per WP:CANVASS, please AGF and consider that I have been actively editing in this project for a little over a year (January 2022) and was misled by the inexplicable lack of reaction from admins when Volunteer Marek behaved as he did at AE.

On 28 March 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hugo Krabbe, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Re: this. The thing is, was Icewhiz's radicalization the cause or the consequence? This I think was his first comment in this topic area, and I think it shows very strong bias/attitude that he never climbed down from, but just kept embracing more and more. IMHO it was his very strong bias that he refused to moderate and that impacted his WP:AGF that led to the deterioration of this topic area, not anything he encountered there. That area was relatively stable and friendly (collaborative) before, but he polarized it into two sides. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:07, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

are you implying that some individuals are not mentally strong enough to edit a particular topic arena?Yes, but it shouldn't be like that. Actually if everybody respected WP:CIV and EW no topic area would be too tough. But that's why editors like you shouldn't leave the topic area. Especially when the topic is contentious, it is vital that editors are polite, ready to work toward consensus and change their views when they are proven wrong; editors should at least strive to be neutral and to look for the best available sources; tendentious and nationalist editing should not be tolerated. AFIK you are a good editor and the topic area would be worse without you. Gitz ( talk) ( contribs) 12:39, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

An arbitration case, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland, has now closed and the final decision is viewable at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:
Should any user subject to a restriction in this case violate that restriction, that user may be blocked for up to 1 year. Administrators placing blocks should take into account an editor's overall conduct and Arbitration history and seriously consider increasing the duration of blocks. Any block 3 months or longer should be reported for automatic review either (1) at ARCA or (2) to an arbitrator or clerk who will open a review at ARCA. The committee will consider presented evidence and statements before deciding by motion what, if any, actions are necessary, up to and including a site ban.

Hi Gitz6666,
I saw your work on articles related to anarchism and wanted to say hello, as I work in the topic area too. If you haven't already, you might want to watch our noticeboard for Wikipedia's coverage of anarchism, which is a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to anarchism. Take a look for yourself!
And if you're looking for other juicy places to edit, consider expanding a stub, adopting a cleanup category, or participating in one of our current formal discussions.
Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Hope to see you around. czar 02:24, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Caro @
Pequod76: ti rispondo qui, anziché sulla tua talk, perché mi sono accorto che questa risposta, anche se è per te, non è solo per te. Preferisco quindi questo spazio.
Su una cosa voglio rassicurarti subito. Non ho rinunciato affatto alla “battaglia di principio” più importante, scrivere l'enciclopedia. Semplicemente, penso di poterla portare avanti altrove, in modo più proficuo e meno stressante: qui su en.wiki, spero, e in altri luoghi di ricerca. La mia risposta a Gianfranco è stata ben ponderata, era pronta da tempo e sono fiducioso che mi porterà più felicità e lavoro produttivo. L'adesione al progetto quindi non è cessata, si è solo trasferita di sede.
La verità è che collaborare con voi è troppo faticoso, almeno per me. Non mi riferisco a te personalmente: tu sei prezioso, Pequod, sai quanto ti stimo. E come per te, ho stima per molti altri:

Camelia.boban e chissà quanti ne dimentico (ho ovviamente perso le mie pagine di discussione). Posso collaborare benissimo anche con persone con cui sono spesso in disaccordo, come Kirk39, TrinacrianGolem o Tommasucci. Persino Ignis ho molto rivalutato col tempo: penso che la colpa di quel che è successo tra noi sia soprattutto nella patologica insufficienza dei meccanismi di soluzione dei conflitti su it.wiki. E non mi riferisco alla mancanza dell'ArbCom, ma al fatto che gli admin di regola si astengono, se possibile, dalle discussioni tra un collega e un utente sconosciuto, sospetto "problematico", e quando partecipano evitano di prendere apertamente posizione a favore di quest'ultimo. Altro che ArbCom, su it.wiki non ci sono nemmeno la mediazione e la RdP! Come possono funzionare bene le cose così?
Ho fatto questo elenco (incompleto) di utenti perché mi dispiace non averli potuti salutare e in alcuni casi nemmeno conoscere, cioè non abbiamo quasi interagito. Mi piacerebbe trovare un modo per far loro arrivare il mio congedo e ringraziamento (puoi aiutarmi in questo?). Avete utenti preziosi su it.wiki ma l’ambiente – soprattutto l’adminship e alcune utenze storiche – è spesso inospitale. Potrei sbagliare su questo, ma sono convinto che la ragione sia che, non essendovi mai dati delle procedure, non siete nemmeno riusciti a sviluppare una cultura interna della fairness: nessun tipo di equanimità e distacco. In mancanza di procedure, qualsiasi tipo di autorità – anche quella che si basa sul prestigio, sull’esperienza e dedizione al progetto – prima o poi è condannata ad essere “cricca”, cioè potere arbitrario personale. Lo è agli occhi degli outsider, che facilmente si sentono umiliati e trattati ingiustamente, e lo è nei fatti.
L’ultimo episodio non voglio commentarlo, tanto è chiaro e lampante. Dopo quel che è successo su quella pagina, che è sotto gli occhi di tutti, il cartellino giallo me lo becco io? Anzi, due cartellini gialli, se consideriamo la vicenda del Manuale di stile. Come è possibile giustificare quel genere di aggressioni? Rispondimi Pequod, per favore: ti sembrano conformi alle linee-guida del progetto o sono abusi? Se pensi che quei cartellini gialli e tutta la dinamica che li ha prodotti siano giustificabili, allora ha pienamente ragione Gianfranco: incompatibilità con il Progetto (non però violazione irredimibile della WikiQuette, quella no: io sono sempre stato testardo, ma educato e rispettoso con tutti).
Comunque in quell’ambiente non posso lavorare sereno, e non riesco a pensare una ragione per restare. Da tempo le persone che mi vogliono bene si stupiscono e mi chiedono chi me lo faccia fare: perché accettare quelle dinamiche degradanti, avendo del resto io altre cose importanti di cui occuparmi (due figlie, una moglie e un lavoro)? Alla fine a questa domanda non sono più riuscito a trovare una risposta sensata, di qui la decisione di andarmene. Ma, ti ripeto, non ho nessuna intenzione di rinunciare alla “battaglia”: il mio andarmene è un “arrivederci altrove”. Ti auguro buon tutto, spero che prima o poi riusciate a risolvere i problemi che vi travagliano e che, temo, non coincidono con la mia contribuzione (quella ve la siete tolta), problemi che potrebbero tormentare altri utenti in futuro come lo hanno fatto in passato. Ma se tu avessi bisogno di qualcosa, wikipidianamente parlando, mi trovi qui. Non ho nessun rancore verso di te e spero che ci potremo incontrare ancora.
P.S. e fate qualcosa per la storia dei concetti, su! Il mio STUB fa schifo e non è pubblicabile, IMHO, ma il tema merita il lavoro di qualcuno, prima o poi. --

Ciao Gitz6666, non ho pratica di questa wiki, ma ti voglio esprimere la mia vicinanza e il rammarico di aver ricevuto la segnalazione della discussione sull'arbitrato troppo tardi. Io non credo di contare gran che in it.wiki, ma il tuo lavoro sul Protestantesimo ha fatto nascere in me la speranza che si potesse collaborare, tu su quel versante, io su quello cattolico. Ti stimo per la caratura delle tue capacità e per aver sognato una realtà più concreta, umana, tollerante. Ti abbraccio e mi auguro che si facciano avanti anche altri: grazie di tutto. -- AmaliaMM ( talk) 17:25, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

... di essermi accorto di quanto stava accadendo quando ormai la frittata era fatta. Forse (e sottolineo forse!) avrei potuto provare a darti qualche umile consiglio su come porti in certi frangenti, ossia astenersi dal rimbeccare a caldo, contare fino a mille e magari cambiare pagina e passare a occuparsi d'altro. In parte scherzo, e in parte no. Normale che ci siano vedute diverse tra gli utenti di una wiki, come pure tra wiki diverse. Se in tante wiki l'arbitrato è già una realtà, questo non significa che debba essere presente anche su it.wiki. Forse, banalmente, i tempi non sono maturi, inutile incaponirsi per accelerarli, ammesso pure che un giorno ci arriveremo, inutile un muro contro muro che ha spesso conseguenze spiacevoli, molto spiacevoli. Ci sono cose che io non condivido, ma SE l'obiettivo primario è collaborare al Progetto, tutto il resto deve passare in secondo piano, accettiamo serenamente anche le regole che meno ci piacciono e tiremm innanz. Pensa che giusto ieri sera t'avevo mandato un ping per Caravaggio, sperando così di risolvere un aspetto che avevi segnalato, e quando Tommasucci mi ha fatto notare quello che era successo sono rimasto senza parole. Ti esprimo il mio sincero apprezzamento per come ti ho visto operare nella rubrica e ti saluto cordialmente. -- Er Cicero ( talk) 09:18, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Good day Gitz6666. Thank you very much for your attention to the article Elizabeth Stanhope, Countess of Chesterfield. Few editors seem to add citations and your contribution is therefore especially precious and welcome. Unluckily, you seem to have the wrong lady. The description of a beautiful lady on page 141, which you cite, is that of Miss Hamilton. Lady Chesterfield is described on p 167. Besides, you cite the book as {{Cite book|last=Hamilton|first=Anthony|url=https://archive.org/details/memoirscountgram00hamimiss/page/n175/mode/2up|title=Memoirs of Count Grammont|publisher=E.L. Carey & A. Hart|year=1836|location=Philadelphia|pages=141|author-link=Antoine Hamilton}} I do not find a publication date on this edition and the title page indicates that the publisher is David McKay and not E.L. Carey & A. Hart as you say. Where did you get the information from? I edited the article and corrected the page citing from the Gebbie edition of 1888, which is better documented but identical for the rest. How did you get to Elizabeth Stanhope, Countess of Chesterfield? Do you have a special interest in her or in Antoine Hamilton and his book?

The draft at User:Gitz6666/sandbox4 for Indiscriminate attack(s) looks good and very likely to survive any notability challenges, IMHO, though I see it's still in draft stage. There might be a debate about how similar articles in Wikipedia are named - as singular or plural. Singular is more like a dictionary definition, and plural is more about "the thing in general" - that's my impression, at least for categories. But mainspace usage will count more than category style. This is an obviously important article. There are some fields of knowledge where en.Wikipedia is still missing many key articles.

Hi Gitz, I've seen you created the article on Hugo Krabbe and wanted it to be reviewed. What I mention is just what I see as good on wikipedia, but I had rather good experiences with this. I tend to add a source for each phrase (except for the lead). The article seems to have solid sources and if you could add a source to the end of each phrase the article might catch more interest from a potential reviewer. I do not though offer myself as reviewer, this is just some advice as I wouldn't be encouraged to review in this state. But from my point of view the article sure has a potential for a GA and judging from the sources you are not far from it. Paradise Chronicle ( talk) 19:42, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Gitz6666. Thanks for your comment at
Talk:Trans woman. I
took the liberty of modifying the break tags in your comment to <br/>
, because an unclosed break tag screws up
syntax highlighting for the remainder of any page upon which it appears. In general, you should just
use a blank line to indicate a paragraph break in your comments. If you're in a situation where you think a break tag is required and a blank line just won't do for some reason, then please either close your break tag with a slash, or even better, use the mini-template {{
br}} instead, which has some other advantages as well (see the doc). Thanks, and happy editing!

I am currently working on an article about treatment of POWs in the war in Ukraine (the main war crimes article is too big, "war crime" also doesn't cover everything on mistreatment of POWs apparently, as exposure of POWs by Ukraine and mistreatment by both sides weren't included in the main article, similar with 'no quarter' orders), but, as expected, it won't be an easy job, i have made a sketch on my sandbox ( User:SnoopyBird/sandbox), i'd appreciate if you could hop by there and maybe help me with some things.
the main problem right now is to change some stuff, because, as of right now, it is kind of a copy-paste of the section in the war crimes article with a few changes, i also couldn't find the content on exposure/mistreatment of POWs and 'no quarter' orders in the war crimes article (it was removed, but i cant find anything on it in the page history), so, if you can find that, feel free to add it.
thanks in advance. SnoopyBird ( talk) 00:31, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

Gitz6666, since you've now chosen to start editing articles in the topic area of Poland and the Holocaust (which I'm sure you know is under discretionary sanctions), and since you had never edited this topic area before, I feel compelled to comment. Since replying to this comment may potentially violate your topic ban from the Russian-Ukrainian topics, you do not have to respond, or can respond privately by email - regardless, I personally will not see a reply to this - whatever it says - as a breach of the topic ban, I will not report you anywhere for replying and if someone else does I will defend you on the basis of this message right here.
Let me express my primary concern right at the outset. It is definitely eye-brow raising that you would choose to appear in this topic area immediately after you were topic banned in another topic area, in good part because of the disputes between me and you. This is especially concerning given that I've noted before that you have a tendency to follow me around (stalk) and appear out of the blue on articles I'm involved in. Before this you were doing this across different articles within the same topic area (Russia-Ukraine) now that you got a topic ban there, it involves skipping across topic areas.
Having said that allow me to say I regard you as an smart, constructive and valuable contributor to Wikipedia. I do think there are certain parts to your approach which get you into trouble but there's no point in rehashing these. I think it's quite likely that your contributions in this new topic area will be quite valuable as well and welcome your participation. The topic area could definitely use more active editors (if you want a short list of "things need to be done" let me know or ask User:Ealdgyth). You have a good nose for sources and write well so there's much you can contribute. My obvious concern is that you are only editing these articles simply because I am involved and that you may hold grudges or vendettas from our interactions in the other topic area. I am 100% willing to put those concerns aside and AGF the hell out of your appearance, precisely because I think you can do a lot of good here. I, personally, do not hold grudges and I'm always ready to turn over a new leaf and collaborate productively with (almost) anyone.
Like any other contentious area, this topic has a lot of institutional history and context. If you need any help or are simply curious about anything related to the area (like... who is Icewhiz? Just an example) let me know. I do sincerely look forward to your contributions. Volunteer Marek 16:49, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
have a tendency to follow [you] around (stalk) and appear out of the blue on articles [you are] involved in; on the contrary, I know that you and MVBW were following me around in the area with an uncooperative/blocking attitude. I also know that on several occasions I avoided editing articles and commenting in discussions for the sole reason that you were active there. Bottom line, this shared feeling of being haunted by the other proves that there was an exhausting editorial conflict between us, and I have no desire to resume it.
So apparently this was a false hope huh? That's what I get for doing the AGF. Volunteer Marek 08:59, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
Dear Gitz, In addition to the GA Review for the article Hugo Krabbe I also wanted to open another channel of communication with you where I can chat outside of the official review process. With regard to the infobox picture I had the impression that you wanted to remove the dark frame with its Latin inscription. This can be done with the template "CSS image crop" or you can also crop the image and save a cropped version in Wikimedia Commons for this purpose. In biographies I like to show a cropped passport-photo-like picture in the infobox and give in addition the original full portrait further down in the body. See e.g. Gustavus Hamilton, 2nd Viscount Boyne, or Antoine Hamilton, but of course you do not need to follow that style. I wonder what you think about it. Whenever I do this, I add "Detail from the portrait below" by way of a title. Otherwise, editors come along and delete the "CSS image crop", probably simply because it is such an easy way to increment their edit count. – I looked at Hugo Krabbe in other languages. In addition to English, Wikipedia has this article in Russian, Indonesian, German, Italian, and Dutch. I can read the last three and I guess so can you. I find it very strange that Krabbe is described as a "filosofo danese" (Danish philosopher) rather than "professore di diritto olandese" (or similar) in the lead of the Italian article. Quite a few of Krabbe's Dutch terminology is difficult to translate. I hope you do not mind my criticism. Don't we pull together on the same string to improve Wikipedia? I hope we can learn from each other to do this even better. With best regards, Johannes Schade ( talk) 20:59, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

In this edit you incorrectly wrote that the Blue Police were "Jewish collaborators". Of course, the Blue Police were ethnic Poles and I corrected the error here. I'm guessing this was either bad wording on your part or you simply confused two things. Either way, unless somebody wishes to challenge the correction, which would be silly, that's all there is to this as far as we're concerned.
But. It occurred to me that this is a pretty good opportunity to illustrate how this topic area got so bad and vicious to began with, back in 2018 (and maybe again now), and also the way in which the G&K paper is written.
Suppose that you were not Gitz666, suppose you were a "Polish editor" (I know you're not, this wouldn't have actually mattered). Well, Icewhiz would have already filed a WP:AE report on this before you even woke up. In it you'd be accused of "Holocaust distortion" and he'd claim that you were "perpetuating a hoax" that the Blue Police were Jewish. A few of his supporters would show up to that report. One would perhaps shake their head sadly and act really disappointed and ask, with tears in their Wikipedia eyes, how an editor who makes such edits is even allowed to edit Wikipedia. Another one, would jump in yelling about how this is a long standing pattern, that you have already been topic banned from other areas, that you made some edit 15 years ago that were also problematic, that unless administrators take extreme action against you immediately, all of Wikipedia will collapse within a fortnight. Maybe even some uninvolved person would take a look and say "yeah, this looks bad, the Blue Police weren't Jewish". Because out of context, it WOULD look bad. Your pleas that you had no problem with this being corrected would fall on deaf ears. If someone showed up to defend you and point out that it could've just been a simple error and that you seemed not to object to the correction, Icewhiz and others would accuse them of tag teaming and of being part of some big conspiracy and someone would state that it's very strange that an editor who edits in a topic area shows up to a WP:AE report on that topic and that the very fact they're defending you is suspicious in itself and insinuate you're somehow coordinating with them.
Even if you quickly corrected your error, it wouldn't have mattered. This "diff" is just too good to pass up.
Now, WP:AE admins can actually be pretty good (at least these days) and they'd probably discern that this was a simple mistake and just warn you to be more careful in the future or some such. Or you'd get unlucky and some trigger happy admin would slap a topic ban on you.
A few months later, a sock puppet or some such, would go and add this edit of yours to "List of Hoaxes" on Wikipedia or similar. Maybe you'd remove it because it was an error not a hoax but then Icewhiz or someone would jump in and restore it and go to ArbCom demanding a new case or something. Whenever you ran into Icewhiz, he'd bring up this very diff of your error and repeat the claim that you were spreading hoaxes on Wikipedia, despite the fact that this has been explained as a simple mistake repeatedly. Oh wait, in fact, if you claimed it was a "simple error" that would be used against you too - the response would be that there's nothing "simple" about it and that kind of comment illustrates that you are trivializing the Holocaust.
Sooner or later Icewhiz would be banned though. Editors like him always are. It's more of a question of how much damage they do in the meantime and how many people they hurt before some admin finally figures out how bad news that kind of editor is. But that wouldn't end it. A twitter account would pop up and accuse you of blaming Jews for the Holocaust because you wrote that the Blue Police were Jewish. Icewhiz would make sock puppets and keep re-adding this diff to reports and discussions. Those Icewhiz supporters would show up to these discussions and fan the flames. Icewhiz would contact an outside person, maybe a journalist, maybe an academic and convince them that you are part of some grand conspiracy and use this diff as evidence. You. Wrote. That. Blue. Police. Were. Jewish. Accidentally and probably just with bad choice of wording and bad sentence structure, but you did. It would be trivial to write that up pretending that this was intentional and deliberate and that you are doing it because you are a Polish nationalist. And some people would eat that right up.
All this might sound hyperbolic. It's actually an understatement. I skipped all the parts about how this would be accompanied by being outed, threats, abuse, your family would get doxed, and all the other pleasantries that come along with editing in this topic area (unless you're anonymous). It's the story of Icewhiz in a nutshell.
And this is how a topic area gets destroyed. Specifically how collegiality and capacity for cooperation gets completely destroyed. We're still dealing with this crap four years after Icewhiz got topic banned. This is why this topic area is so toxic. And here is the sad-funny thing. All those discretionary sanctions and extra special admin powers? They actually make things worse. Precisely because they encourage this type of behavior. Why bother working out a compromise with someone when it's so much easier to try to get them banned over an accidental mistake, like the one you made here? Why let it go, acknowledge that errors get made and what matters is if they are corrected, when the admins made seeking sanctions against others so cheap and easy to get? It almost seems like some admins actively encouraged - in the past, not now - exactly this kind of behavior (if you have a problem write a report! Stop bickering on the talk page, bring it to AE!) and then... turned around and complained about how battlground-ish the area had become. Sheesh.
I think most of your edits are fine. And I hope that collaboration and collegiality can be restored to this topic area. Volunteer Marek 06:27, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
OK, I've decided to accept El C’s invitation to be more straightforward and clearly state my point of view on Icewhiz. Note, however, that mine is a relatively uninformed point of view: I know little about their activities on and off Wikipedia and have not yet delved into talk page discussions.
My starting point is that indeed there is a "distortion" in most of the articles on Holocaust in Poland and Jewish/Polish relations. I knew this for a fact even before the G&K article was published, although I did not suspect the extent of the distortion. I don't know whose fault it is, nor whether the distortion is malicious and deliberate, as G&K claim, or accidental and even physiological, given the peculiarities of the Polish war experience [25] and Polish historiography and politics [26]. However, I believe that G&K are right in their assessment of the content of our articles, which do often contain errors, lack balance and are influenced by a pro-Polish (nationalist) bias. If one doesn't agree with this, what follows makes no sense.
If one accepts my starting point and acknowledges that there is a systematic bias of this kind, which for one reason or another couldn't be addressed and corrected through the usual editing process (e.g., improvements got stonewalled, consensus couldn't be reached, etc.), then one consequence follows: it was inevitable that an Icewhiz of some kind would arise sooner or later, the arch-POV-pusher ready to do anything to publish their content, heedless of any WP policy and guideline and even common decency. They'd choose the username FreeBlinkHey (Treblinka) or Book&Wall (Buchenwald) or Icewhiz (Auschwitz) or whatever, and devote their entire life to right this wrong, creating armies of sockpuppets, canvassing in and off-Wiki, doxing and threatening, bludgeoning the talk pages like mad until laptops start bleeding on their own. I myself am not Jewish, but both my father and wife are, my relatives and in-laws have been persecuted in no less than three different countries (no concentration camps, though), and I sense the power of trauma, the energy and concentration it gives you.
From the point of view of WP policies and guidelines, the issue is quite simple: users of this type are egregious POV-pushers who must be topic banned and blocked as soon as they show up. Surely Icewhiz got what they deserved and nobody can complain about it. But if WP collaborative editing doesn't work and the articles on the Holocaust are unbalanced, the arrival of Icewhiz-like monsters is inevitable. It's like when a clogged pipe bursts from water pressure – you can't blame the water. That's the reason why the lamentations "Icewhiz is a catastrophe, a scourge, one of our worst harassers, etc.", while not wrong, don't cut to the chase, and the accusation "the G&K article is copied from Icewhiz's content" doesn't persuade either. Icewhiz is the symptom, not the cause. It's not Icewhiz who created Icewhiz's content, but Icewhiz's content (the need to rebalance the area) that created the arch-POV-pusher Icewhiz.

Hello Gitz6666,
You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/Evidence. Please add your evidence by April 04, 2023, which is when the first evidence phase closes. Submitted evidence will be summarized by Arbitrators and Clerks at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/Evidence/Summary. Owing to the summary style, editors are encouraged to submit evidence in small chunks sooner rather than more complete evidence later.
Details about the summary page, the two phases of evidence, a timeline and other answers to frequently asked questions can be found at the case's FAQ page.
For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration.

The article Hugo Krabbe you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Hugo Krabbe for comments about the article, and Talk:Hugo Krabbe/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Johannes Schade -- Johannes Schade ( talk) 10:02, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
Dear Gitz. Hugo Krabbe is promoted to GA. Was lange währt wird endlich gut! (German proverb). Surely the longest GA Review I ever conducted. The excellent quality of your collaborative participation in this effort made it worthwhile and enjoyable. Thank you so much! Hope to meet you soon again. Bye for now, Johannes Schade ( talk) 10:15, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
Hello! Your submission of Hugo Krabbe at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) at your nomination's entry and respond there at your earliest convenience. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:58, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
I see that you are about to submit a new evidence. I can not talk for other contributors, but can explain myself to avoid misunderstanding.
multiple references to a book by Cambridge University Press [29], to Harvard University Press, to Financial Times, etc.In fact:
Decades later, reclaiming pre-war property would lead to a number of controversies, and the matter is still debated by media and scholars as of late 2010s.
Impoverished claimants could however obtain exemptions from court for legal fees; financial and legal assistance was provided by various Jewish organizations.
The majority of Jewish claimants could not afford the restitution process without financial help due to the filing costs, legal fees, and inheritance tax.
Fees were also problematic and for many people became a major obstacle to property restitution. The cost of inserting the notices alone was 800 zloty (…) Hereditary taxes and lawyers’ fees had to be paid as well. (…) All together the expenses usually amounted to about 20,000 zloty (200 dollars). The majority of Jewish claimants residing in Poland could not afford to pay the fees without the help of the CKZP (which also offered free legal aid) or without obtaining an exemption form court and lawyer fees called “poor man’s benefit”
Because we have worked ot make the evidence summary as neutral as possible, many editors have wanted the interoperation they did fully considered and so we've bee doing that by copying over to analysis. If you're not concerned about that, no need to revert. Barkeep49 ( talk) 22:20, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
You have been added as a party to the Arbitration case about World War II and the history of Jews in Poland.

Gitz, can you please explain how you decided to leave these 1 2 , and only these, notifications? Barkeep49 ( talk) 23:57, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
VM has been unashamedly WP:CANVASSing here below) but no admin at AE made any comment on this. Therefore I thought I was wrong and VM was right: AE requests are not community discussions where WP:CANVASS applies because the final decision is not based on community consensus but is made by admins alone. This is the reason I gave myself to explain why AE admins did not react to that apparent, highly visible canvass and to my repeated protests.
I think you're wrong because this is not a community discussion and the final decision will be taken by admins. If you're right, however, then VM would have made the most blatant canvass in his statement at AE when he selectively pinged six editors who had criticised me during a previous discussion at AN/I( here).
consensus decision-making process[es]per WP:CANVASS, please AGF and consider that I have been actively editing in this project for a little over a year (January 2022) and was misled by the inexplicable lack of reaction from admins when Volunteer Marek behaved as he did at AE. Gitz ( talk) ( contribs) 00:48, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
RFC, AFD or CFD; I doubt AE and ArbCom cases are
consensus decision-making process[es]of the same kind as RFC, AFD and CFD.
don't preselect recipients according to their established opinions. I also was surprised to see Volunteer Marek so eager to re-litigate whether or not what he did at AE was appropriate here. Barkeep49 ( talk) 16:23, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
On 28 March 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hugo Krabbe, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Hugo Krabbe stirred up much controversy in the interwar period by arguing that the law, not the state, is the true sovereign? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hugo Krabbe. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Hugo Krabbe), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Some are actually pro-Russia, possibly because of panslavism and anti-EU/anti-liberal sentiments. See ex. this, this or this. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:00, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
Re: this. The thing is, was Icewhiz's radicalization the cause or the consequence? This I think was his first comment in this topic area, and I think it shows very strong bias/attitude that he never climbed down from, but just kept embracing more and more. IMHO it was his very strong bias that he refused to moderate and that impacted his WP:AGF that led to the deterioration of this topic area, not anything he encountered there. That area was relatively stable and friendly (collaborative) before, but he polarized it into two sides. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:07, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

are you implying that some individuals are not mentally strong enough to edit a particular topic arena?Yes, but it shouldn't be like that. Actually if everybody respected WP:CIV and EW no topic area would be too tough. But that's why editors like you shouldn't leave the topic area. Especially when the topic is contentious, it is vital that editors are polite, ready to work toward consensus and change their views when they are proven wrong; editors should at least strive to be neutral and to look for the best available sources; tendentious and nationalist editing should not be tolerated. AFIK you are a good editor and the topic area would be worse without you. Gitz ( talk) ( contribs) 12:39, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
Hello Gitz6666,
in
Special:Diff/1150888484 (still present unmodifiedly as far as I can see), you quoted
My very best wishes as "describ[ing] the Russian world as a 'shithole full of zombies'"
.
This quote is now being disputed, so it would be helpful to have a source. Could you point out where exactly My very best wishes did this?
Thank you very much in advance and best regards,

This quote is now being disputed, he was not implying that the quote was disputed by you, right? Do you happen to know who was disputing it and where did this discussion take place? Gitz ( talk) ( contribs) 23:44, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
may I ask, did you complain about my comment on your Russian shitholes publicly or via email? I couldn't find your remarks. Thanks for letting me knowand
where did you complain about my comment, what did you say about it?That's it, you can answer or not, as you wish, but please refrain from WP:GOADing, as I've asked you more than once [38] [39]. Gitz ( talk) ( contribs) 12:55, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

An arbitration case, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland, has now closed and the final decision is viewable at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:
Should any user subject to a restriction in this case violate that restriction, that user may be blocked for up to 1 year. Administrators placing blocks should take into account an editor's overall conduct and Arbitration history and seriously consider increasing the duration of blocks. Any block 3 months or longer should be reported for automatic review either (1) at ARCA or (2) to an arbitrator or clerk who will open a review at ARCA. The committee will consider presented evidence and statements before deciding by motion what, if any, actions are necessary, up to and including a site ban.

Thank you very much for your dedication to
Hugo Krabbe! I'm not sure if I would've investigated the philosopher further when I first stumbled on his name, if the great page you created (was it 15 Feb 2022?) hadn't piqued my interest.

Hi Gitz6666,
I saw your work on articles related to anarchism and wanted to say hello, as I work in the topic area too. If you haven't already, you might want to watch our noticeboard for Wikipedia's coverage of anarchism, which is a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to anarchism. Take a look for yourself!
And if you're looking for other juicy places to edit, consider expanding a stub, adopting a cleanup category, or participating in one of our current formal discussions.
Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Hope to see you around. czar 02:24, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
The article Alfred Verdross you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Alfred Verdross for comments about the article, and Talk:Alfred Verdross/GA1 for the nomination. Well done!
