Bob not snob

Thank you for your recent articles, including Jan Otrębski, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK. Let me know if you need help, _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:58, 25 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

User:Piotrus, I followed your advice and nominated it at T:TDYK.--Bob not snob (talk) 06:35, 28 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Nice! I could review it myself but I think it will be more interesting to see what another reviewer things about it. A review may take anything from few hours to few weeks; if there are any issues you will get a message here, otherwise it will be featured on the from page (and again you'll get a notification here). Happy editing! --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:14, 28 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

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

An editor has asked for a Move review of Murder in Texas. Because you participated in the move discussion for this page, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the move review. ~ Amkgp 💬 18:38, 14 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

 

On 18 July 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jan Otrębski, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Jan Otrębski, who knew nothing of the Lithuanian language until his adulthood, is honored in Lithuania for his studies of the language? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jan Otrębski. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Jan Otrębski), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Again, welcome! GizzyCatBella🍁 09:28, 8 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Unfortunately, I do not know Polish, and I am not sufficiently familiar with Polish sources and politics to respond to your comment. Thanks, My very best wishes (talk) 15:47, 8 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

You should take care then, the source you restored is extremist.--Bob not snob (talk) 11:48, 9 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

 

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.

Apologies, but technically the above notice didn’t alert you as it was the old one. Like it says. Not an implication of wrongdoing, just given out because you’re active in the area. TonyBallioni (talk) 06:14, 16 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

User:TonyBallioni, why are all these similarly worded alerts needed? I have been editing Polish topics since registering. Is this about Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#The Volunteer (book) and Witold Pilecki? Pilecki is our 1940 version of Davy Crockett, very brave but also many myths. One of the editors on that page is very aggressive about including the myths, to the point that it sucks out the fun of editing. What should I do differently, if at all?--Bob not snob (talk) 11:00, 16 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

WP:AC/DS is a special set of rules for areas of high conflict. They require that people be aware of them using a formal template for them to apply. The one given above was the wrong one, so I updated it to be the correct one. And yeah, I’d noticed the conflict surrounding that topic so just wanted to make sure you were “aware” in the formal sense. TonyBallioni (talk) 14:53, 16 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

• Hi Bob not snob. It looks like you reverted[1] that aggressive editor 12 minutes after registering your account back in November of last year[2]. You were also well aware of WP:APLRS when you were reverting them several times after, including in February [3],[4]. You were surprised but well aware of ARBCOM sanctions [5] when you filed case against one of the administrators. Still, you are asking User:TonyBallioni why these alerts are needed? - GizzyCatBella🍁 18:05, 16 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

I got involved with this discussion and edited to apply the APLRS policy that the noticeboard consensus told that applied. Bob not snob (talk) 19:26, 16 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Your response is not about what I asked. - GizzyCatBella🍁 19:46, 16 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hey Bob,

Consider adding a {{reftalk}} template at the end of every talk page section that contains <ref> tags.[6] If one isn't present then the sources from across the page will "clump up" at the bottom, which is both unsightly and cumbersome to navigate (cf. this with this).

Thanks, I shall try to use this.--Bob not snob (talk) 11:20, 6 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi - since you were involved in the discussion at Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#The_Volunteer_(book), I am letting you know that I have requested clarification from the Arbitration Committee about how we should interpret the wording of the remedy at WP:APLRS. If you wish to comment on the request, it is at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification_and_Amendment#Clarification_request:_Antisemitism_in_Poland#Article_sourcing_expectations.

Thanks for the notification.--Bob not snob (talk) 07:30, 13 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

I have removed part of your statement on the open clarification request for Antisemitism in Poland, as I and an arbitrator deemed it needed removal. As this is a clerk action, you should not reinstate the removed statement. Please ensure that when you make your statement you do not make bad faith assumptions or personal attacks on other users.
