Discretionary sanctions alert

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.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. 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.

ANI notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding your comments. The thread is Offensive comments by Paul Siebert. The discussion is about the topic Talk:Kievan Rus'. Thank you.  —Michael Z. 08:37, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

@Mzajac: Please, read WP:ADMINCOND and WP:CIR. And, please, read carefully the ANI thread initiated by you and learn due lessons from what people say.

I am very disappointed that I have to explain such simple things to an admin, but let me do that one more time.

• First, never accuse people of OR/SYNTH when they post their thoughts on talk pages and other non-article space. Our policy explicitly says that it does not apply to talk pages and other pages which evaluate article content and sources, such as deletion discussions or policy noticeboards. By making these statements you demonstrate your ignorance of our basic policy, which may be forgivable for an ordinary user, but not for an admin. In addition, accusation of OR is an accusation of misbehaviour, and accusations about personal behavior that lack evidence is usually considered a personal attack.
• Second, I made a very brief search, just to make sure my posts are not my invention, and in 5 minutes I found, e.g. this. It is well known that nations (in general, not only a Ukrainian nation) are a pretty recent phenomenon, and it would be safe to say that virtually no European nation existed before mid XIX century.

Glaukopis

Paul, check the timeline portrayed in the G&K article:

• " In February 2021, an editor called Buidhe challenged Glaukopis’s reliability on Wikipedia’s Reliable Sources" (my emphasis)

then

• "Outnumbered, Buidhe lost this debate and Glaukopis remained a permitted source on Wikipedia. Indeed, the nationalist-leaning group uses it to justify other unreliable sources, as in the case of Piotrus embellishing Ewa Kurek’s Wikipedia biography."

But the "Footnote" they provide for Piotrus' edit is... June 2019

So they're trying to make it seem like Piotrus (or this "nationalist leaning group" (whatever that is) - though they provide no other evidence)) continued to use the journal as a source even after the RSN discussion (2021), even though their diff is from 2019, so obviously false. Oh and here is their evidence of "embellishing Ewa Kurek's Wikipedia biography" [1]. I mean... maybe? But they somehow omit the fact that the edit also included criticism.

They also omit the fact that I said in that RSN discussion that Glaukopis was not RS. They also "doctor" my quote ("Volunteer Marek agreed that ‘this [journal] shouldn’t be a concern,’ ") by putting the [journal] in there as if I was referring to it. Instead I said that the concern wasn't who published the journal but rather who was on the editorial board. Volunteer Marek 08:39, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Let me be frank. 1. You guys are really POV pushing. 2. The article needs to be carefully checked, because some statements, including some accusations against you look wrong.

The truth is somewhere in the middle.

But that is only my preliminary opinion. Paul Siebert (talk) 08:46, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Other interesting part is how the authors go out of their way to avoid explaining WHY "Buidhe lost this debate" (I don't think she really did, I haven't seen anyone try to use it since). According to them it was because she was "outnumbered" but a quick check clearly shows that it was because... drumroll... Icewhiz disrupted the discussion with his socks. [2].

World War II and the history of Jews in Poland: Arbitration case opened

Hello Paul Siebert,

You were recently listed as a party to 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.

For the Arbitration Committee,

Allies of WWII

Hello Paul Siebert

You reverted my edit to this article with the explanation "by allies we do not mean those that signed a military alliance with UK." What then is the definition the article uses for an allied power? The first sentence states that the Allies "were an international military coalition" and a "military coalition is defined as " a group that temporarily agrees to work together in order to achieve a common goal." You can't have a military coalition without some form of formal agreement and the agreement that formally attached the Soviet Union to the other allied powers was the Anglo-Soviet agreement (given that the UK was the only major power formally at war with the Axis at that time). The Soviet Union didn't automatically "join" the allies the moment it was attacked by Germany, it joined them when a formal military agreement was signed with the leading allied power at the time. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 23:44, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

Actually, that is tricky. If we are too focused on formal alliances, we face an obvious problem: there were no Allies after the fall of France till 22th of June, 1941, because the United Kingdom was fighting alone (I write "United Kingdom, not "Great Britain", which is important in this case). Furthermore, the coalition that was fighting with the Axis from September 1939 till June 1940 was the remnant of Entente cordiale, former Triple Entente (the WWI time formation). It ceased to exist after fall of France, and a new alliance formalized after 22th of June, 1941 and then extended after 7th of December, 1941.

Therefore, if we will be too formal, we should speak about different alliances during different periods of WWII.

Therefore, the most logical solution would be to focus on real military activity: who declared war on whom. If two states declared was on the same opponent, they should be considered de facto allies. The war between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany started in June 1941, which means it became the Ally in June. Paul Siebert (talk) 00:35, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

I see your point and agree that it's not straightforward, but this article and other articles on WWI and WWII focus on formal alliances and we should strive for consistency within articles. The Allies continued to exist as a formal grouping after the defeat of France in 1940. The first inter-allied war conference was in early June 1941 and included the UK, its Dominions, and the governments-in-exile of Poland and other nations. So there was a formal grouping of allies which the Soviet Union joined in July 1941. Remember also that China was at war with Japan for several years before it formally joined the allies in January 1942. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 01:22, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Scope of Evidence

Hi Paul. I wanted to note that I removed the section "Highly misleading edit summaries and wrong pretext for removal" as it is out of scope for the case. The scope of this case is Conduct of named parties in the topic areas of World War II history of Poland and the history of the Jews in Poland, broadly construed. Please let me know if you have any questions. Barkeep49 (talk) 16:20, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Barkeep49:.

I respectfully disagree. The scope on the case is Holocaust in Poland. If we consider the secret protocol of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact illegal (and the majority of scholars agree with that), the territory of modern Ukraine that belonged to Poland before WWII is considered as a part of Poland at least until 1945 (when an agreement about new borders in Europe was achieved). Taking into account that Ukrainian nationalists were active mostly in the territory that belonged to Poland before WWII, it would be correct to include the discussion of their activity into this case: we are discussing not "Jews and Poles", but "Jews in Poland", and such cities as Lwow or Stanislav should be considered as Polish cities until 1945.

Actually, many authors include the Holocaust victims in Western Ukraine and Western Belogussia into the Holocaust in Poland death (now Holocaust in the USSR), so it would be utterly incorrect to exclude them from the scope of the current case.

WW2 rapes

Hi, thanks for your edit. A few years ago I came across a Youtube video about rapes during the war. To be honest, until then I thought rapes were almost exclusively perpetrated by Soviet soldiers in Germany as revenge. However, I was shocked to learn that the Germans actually raped more women in the occupied territories than the Soviets did. Later I found out about an old Russian film called "Come and See", where it shows women raped by the Germans in Belarus. Until today I have no idea about rapes committed by Western Allies, so I won't comment on that. I don't think Wikipedia should reinforce false conceptions by presenting only Soviet rapes without mentioning, at least briefly, all the German rapes. Trying to be balanced here. This is about proper WP:DUE and presenting the reader with historical facts, not 'whataboutism' and apologism on either side.--Melvin Jansen (talk) 17:07, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Actually, before 2000 it was believed that the rapes in the Western occupation zone were committed mostly by Moroccan French and black Americans, which perfectly fits into the racist stereotype about "White gentlemen vs hordes of Asian-African-Negro rapists". It was implicitly or explicitly assumed that any sexual contact between a white woman and Black (of Soviet, which was pretty much the same) could not be anything but a rape.

In reality, as I found in of article, the difference between American and Russian solder was that the former was giving some food to a German woman, and they went to a bed, whereas in the case of the Russian solder, the sequence was the opposite.

Or course, the cases of brutal gang rapes were quite common in the East, partially because Soviet solders had witnessed the things that American solders were even unable to imagine. However, as many sources note, the sexual contacts between German woman and Soviet men covered the broad spectrum, from brutal rapes to a pure prostitution (the latter was necessary because German woman just needed to eat something). And, to get abortion, they had to explain a reason, and according to German regulations (actually, according to the Goebbels racial law, which, surprisingly, was still active in the occupied Germany) a legitimate reason was a rape by an untermensch. Therefore, virtually every woman who needed an abortion had to declare that she was raped by a Mongol (or Negro, depending on whether it was in the East of West). And the statistics of "Russian" children born in post-war Germany allowed one German statistician to obtain a figure of up to 2 million rapes.

These figures are compared with the statistics of reported cases in the Western occupation zone. And this comparison of appleas and oranges lead scholars to a conclusion that all rapes occurred mostly in the Soviet zone.

The rapes in the Western zone was a totally ignored topic: neither scholars nor journalists studied them. However, during the last decade, some authors made a detailed study of the rapes in the West. First, Miriam Gebhardt. Crimes Unspoken: The Rape of German Women at the End of the Second World War. (Cambridge: Polity Press, 2017), applied the same approach as that used previously to study the rapes in the Eastern zone to the West Germany, and she found the following. The Western Allies committed several hundreds thousands rapes.

Furthermore, Thomas J. Kehoe and E. James Kehoe (Crimes Committed by U.S. Soldiers in Europe, 1945-1946. The Journal of Interdisciplinary History, Vol. 47, No. 1 (Summer 2016), pp. 53-84) analyzed the large set of statistical data, and they came to essentially the same conclusions, although they believe some figures obtained by Gebhardt were, to some degree, exaggerated.

However, in general, the conclusions made by these authors are pretty much the same.

Even before that, majority of authors who wrote about Soviet rapes strongly criticized the attempts to deconextualise those events, and, according to them, the proper context was the Holocaust and Nazi atrocities in the occupied Eastern Europe. Every good scholarly study always provides a needed context (in contrast to many popular articles or films).

WRT "Come and see", Elem Klimov in one of his interviews about that film said that the film doesn't tell truth. He said that they told just a part of truth, for real truth was too terrible. By the way, some of the actors who played in that movies were local people who survived actual German atrocities during the war (they were young kids during the war).

German rapes in Eastern Europe is a "dark matter" for several reasons. First, because it was a lesser evil (as compared to everything else, so the victims preferred not to remember it). Second, the number of survived victims or witness is low (usually, the victims, especially Jewish, were murdered after the rape). Third, this information was officially suppressed by Soviet authorities for many reasons. Finally, for decades, the West was seeing the Eastern Front history mostly through German perspective: due to the Iron Curtain, the information from the East was scarce, whereas German memoirs and documents were pretty available, and, taking into account that the post-war Germany was actively pushing the "Clean Wehrmacht" myth, it is not a surprie that people in the West know nothing about that.

Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland closed

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:

• The Arbitration Committee formally requests that the Wikimedia Foundation develop and promulgate a white paper on the best practices for researchers and authors when writing about Wikipedians. The Committee requests that the white paper convey to researchers the principles of our movement and give specific recommendation for researchers on how to study and write about Wikipedians and their personal information in a way that respects our principles. Upon completion, we request that the white paper be distributed through the Foundation's research networks including email newsletters, social media accounts, and web publications such as the Diff blog.
  This request will be sent by the Arbitration Committee to Maggie Dennis, Vice President of Community Resilience & Sustainability with the understanding that the task may be delegated as appropriate.
• Remedy 5 of Antisemitism in Poland is superseded by the following restriction:
  All articles and edits in the topic area of Polish history during World War II (1933-1945) and the history of Jews in Poland are subject to a "reliable source consensus-required" contentious topic restriction. When a source that is not an article in a peer-reviewed scholarly journal, an academically focused book by a reputable publisher, and/or an article published by a reputable institution is removed from an article, no editor may reinstate the source without first obtaining consensus on the talk page of the article in question or consensus about the reliability of the source in a discussion at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard. Administrators may enforce this restriction with page protections, topic bans, or blocks; enforcement decisions should consider not merely the severity of the violation but the general disciplinary record of the editor in violation.
• François Robere is topic banned from the areas of World War II in Poland and the History of Jews in Poland, broadly construed. This ban may be appealed twelve months after the enactment of this remedy, and every twelve months thereafter.
• My very best wishes
  • is topic banned from the areas of World War II in Poland and the History of Jews in Poland, broadly construed. This ban may be appealed twelve months after the enactment of this remedy, and every twelve months thereafter.
  • Based on their disruptive attempts to defend Piotrus and Volunteer Marek, My very best wishes is subject to a 1-way interaction ban with Piotrus and a 1-way interaction ban with Volunteer Marek, subject to the usual exceptions. This ban may be appealed twelve months after the enactment of this remedy, and every twelve months thereafter.
• Volunteer Marek
  • is topic banned from the areas of World War II in Poland and the History of Jews in Poland, broadly construed. This ban may be appealed twelve months after the enactment of this remedy, and every twelve months thereafter.
  • is limited to 1 revert per page and may not revert a second time with-out a consensus for the revert, except for edits in his userspace or obvious vandalism. This restriction may be appealed twelve months after the enactment of this remedy, and every twelve months thereafter.
• François Robere and Volunteer Marek are prohibited from interacting with, or commenting on, posts and comments made by each other, subject to the normal exceptions. This restriction may be appealed twelve months after the enactment of this remedy, and every twelve months thereafter.
• The Arbitration Committee assumes and makes indefinite the temporary interaction ban between Levivich and Volunteer Marek. This restriction may be appealed twelve months after the enactment of this remedy, and every twelve months thereafter.
• Piotrus is reminded that while off-wiki communication is allowed in most circumstances, he has previously used off-wiki communication disruptively. He is reminded to be cautious about how and when to use off-wiki contact in the future, and to avoid future conflict, he should prioritize on-wiki communication.
• The Arbitration Committee affirms its January 2022 motion allowing editors to file for Arbitration enforcement at ARCA or Arbitration enforcement noticeboards. In recognition of the overlap of editor interest and activity between this topic area and Eastern Europe, the committee extends this provision to that topic area. It does so by adding the following text in Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Eastern Europe:
  As an alternative to Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement, editors may make enforcement requests directly to the Arbitration Committee at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment.
• The Arbitration Committee separately rescinds the part of the January 2022 motion allowing transfer of a case from Arbitration Enforcement to ARCA, in recognition of the now-standard provision in Wikipedia:Contentious topics § Referrals from Arbitration Enforcement noticeboard to the full Committee. It does so by striking the following text in its entirety in item number 7:
  In addition to the usual processes, a consensus of administrators at AE may refer complex or intractable issues to the Arbitration Committee for resolution at ARCA, at which point the committee may resolve the request by motion or open a case to examine the issue.
  [archive / log]
• When considering sanctions against editors in the Eastern Europe topic area, uninvolved administrators should consider past sanctions and the findings of fact and remedies issued in this case.

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.

This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

You've been unsubscribed from the Feedback Request Service

Hi Paul Siebert! You're receiving this notification because you were previously subscribed to the Feedback Request Service, but you haven't made any edits to the English Wikipedia in over six months.

In order to declutter the Feedback Request Service list, and to produce a greater chance of active users being randomly selected to receive invitations to contribute, you've been unsubscribed, along with all other users who have made no edits in six months.

You do not need to do anything about this - if you are happy to not receive Feedback Request Service messages, thank you very much for your contributions in the past, and this will be the last you hear from the service. If, however, you would like to resubscribe yourself, you can follow the below instructions to do so:

1. Go to the Feedback Request Service page.
2. Decide which categories are of interest to you, under the RfC and/or GA headings.
3. Paste {{Frs user|Paul Siebert|limit}} underneath the relevant heading(s), where limit is the maximum number of requests you wish to receive for that category per month.
4. Publish the page.

If you've just come back after a wikibreak and are seeing this message, welcome back! You can follow the above instructions to re-activate your subscription. Likewise, if this is an alternate account, please consider subscribing your main account in much the same way.

Note that if you had a rename and left your old name subscribed to the FRS, you may be receiving this message on your new username's talk page still. If so, make sure your new account name is subscribed to the FRS, using the same procedure mentioned above.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the Feedback Request Service talk page, or on the Feedback Request Service bot's operator's talk page. Thank you! Message delivered to you with love by Yapperbot :) | Is this wrong? Contact my bot operator. | Sent at 18:00, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
