User talk:Gunter888

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in Eastern Europe or the Balkans. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

WP:BRD

Please do not remove big chunks of referenced content without explaining on talk the reasons for this in detail. Also please note this is English, not German, Wikipedia, so you should explain things in English. This concerns your edits at [1], [2], and [3]. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:19, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus I don't understand. What ist that blue box there? Are you an administrator imposing sanctions? Do I need to read all Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions and Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Eastern Europe? I see you listed there: Irpen and Piotrus. Do I need to read Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Piotrus and Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Eastern European mailing list I see in that page too?

Also: Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus, are you as an administrator imposing that I should explain "on talk the reasons for this in detail" each time I remove silly text? Do I need your approval for removal? Gunter888 (talk) 14:29, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Gunter888. WP:BRD is a pretty standard mode of editing behavior we do here on English Wikipedia. I know it can be sometimes tempting to remove large portions of texts, but one shouldn't resort to such actions without discussing that previously on talk page, especially if the removed text is referenced. I understand you are a fresh user here on our English Wikipedia - jumping right away to the muddy waters of the topics of World War II in Poland and Shoah. That's particularly challenging, and one should tread lightly minding policies like WP:NPA, WP:AGF or WP:CIVIL. If you need any help in your beginnings here at our English Wikipedia, please don't hesitate to ask the community for an advice.--Darwinek (talk) 22:33, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I read WP:BRD, it tells opposite. It says first bold edit, then discuss. Not other way around. Can Piotrus come to my talk and demand I discuss anything I want to do with him first? He removed my text with better sources than these stories he put in with poor sources. Is it WP:CIVIL to make fun of my English? Gunter888 (talk) 05:07, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What is "muddy" about Holocaust? Nazis murdered millions of Jews, aided by their local helpers and the mass indifference of the non-Jewish locals. All histories tell the same. Do Holocaust deniers like David Irving make this "muddy"? Gunter888 (talk) 05:50, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
