To enforce an arbitration decision and for violating editing restrictions as reported here on the page Collaboration in German-occupied Poland, you have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours. You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block or other sanctions. If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Please copy my appeal to the ] or ]. Your reason here OR place the reason below this template. ~~~~}}. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page. NeilN 14:44, 26 April 2018 (UTC) Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" ). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."

You've been reported.Icewhiz (talk) 11:45, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

Notice that you are now subject to an arbitration enforcement sanction

The following sanction now applies to you:

Your are topic-banned (WP:TBAN) from the World War II history of Poland. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes any acts of violence by, in or against Poland, or by or against Poles or Polish Jews, during or immediately prior to or after World War II, as well as persons known for their involvement in the World War II history of Poland. You are invited to appeal this sanction in six months showing evidence of substantial, competent, prejudice-free editing in other topic areas.

You have been sanctioned for the reasons provided in response to this arbitration enforcement request.

This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Eastern Europe#Final decision and, if applicable, the procedure described at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.

You may appeal this sanction using the process described here. I recommend that you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template if you wish to submit an appeal to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. Sandstein 20:06, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Clarification 1 - (October 2020)

Potential ArbCom request

Hi Gizzy. Please take a look at this. I'm appalled at the personal attacks and unbacked accusations made against you by User:Sandstein. I wrote up a brief description of the situation, with the possibility of asking ArbCom to look at it, since it involves a violation of WP:ASPERSIONS and by extensions discretionary sanctions in the topic area. Of course the complicating factor is that this is against an admin who is also active in enforcing discretionary sanctions (which to my mind, makes this even worse). However, since the attack was made against you specifically I thought I'd consult with you on how to proceed. If you want me to I will go ahead and file a request. If you have objections please make me aware of them.

Because some bad-faithed or vindictive individual may take your response to this message as a violation of your new topic ban (though really it should qualify under WP:BANEX) you should probably respond by email rather than on Misplaced Pages. I am writing on your talk page in the interest of full transparency.Volunteer Marek (talk) 03:10, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

Hey GCB,

Arbitration enforcement warning

Hi. Please be more careful in the future as further violations of your restrictions will almost certainly result in sanctions. Best wishes for your health and safety, El_C 17:12, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

@El_C Thank you, I’ll be extra careful. I’m not reverting any vandalism anymore either .. Thanks again and please stay healthy and safe also. GizzyCatBella🍁 23:06, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Arbitration enforcement appeal

Hi again. I have closed your appeal as declined. Sorry, I know this isn't the result you were hoping for. I hope this doesn't discourage you too much from continuing to contribute to the project. I hope you are able to take the criticism offered by various parties constructively and build on that. Anyway, let's give it another 2 years, at which point you're welcome to submit another appeal. Best wishes, El_C 18:52, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi El_C, no, I don’t think it will discourage me, I’ll do my best. Thank you. :) GizzyCatBella🍁 22:32, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

That's good to hear, GizzyCatBella. I wish you success and happy editing. El_C 22:37, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello GCB This kitty isn't quite as cute as the one on your userpage (and the bubble animation is excellent as well) but I had to drop it off to say thank you. It looks like things have been dealt with for the moment. Thanks for you vigilance. MarnetteD|Talk 23:26, 10 June 2020 (UTC) No problem! Thank you for the kitten. :) GizzyCatBella🍁 00:12, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Could use some help

Arb Enforcement

A discussion regarding your topic ban and your recent edits will appear on WP:AE. Notrium (talk) 16:37, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Notrium, maybe you can add a diff or two here before going ahead with that...? El_C 16:40, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Oh, I see it's already been filed at AE. Never mind. El_C 16:42, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

@*Notrium - Seeking to get your opponents sanctioned for disagreeing with you as you just did here that later continued to the below is not a very wise thing to do. It only demonstrates your attitude and sooner or later will get you in trouble. I wish you all the best, and I hope you will resolve your grievances here using conventional channels.GizzyCatBella🍁 23:41, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

The reason I wanted Oliszydlowski sanctioned is because I thought that could make his editing behavior less disruptive, make him read some policy, etc. Turns out I can't recognize the actual lines somebody may not cross before being sanctioned. As for you, (even though I could have spent my time much more effectively) I am proud to have shed light on your repeated violation. A Misplaced Pages with nobody to report somebody else in such a case would be a Misplaced Pages with no rules at all. Notrium (talk) 14:41, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Look Notrium, if you don't see anything disrupting in your behaviour then that's not good and quite sad... But I don't believe you don't, and I don't believe you are proud of it either. The reason you kept edit warring and later went on a cheap hounding/reporting adventure is that you lost an argument, and you couldn't control yourself. I hope you overcome this aggressive behaviour one day. In any way, let's close this discussion right here. Good luck to you and happy editing. GizzyCatBella🍁 03:36, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Asserting that I "couldn't control" myself feels to me like a personal attack. The "good luck" at the end does not change that. Notrium (talk) 03:47, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

The "cheap hounding adventure" claim against me is definitely against WP policy, as I am obviously not hounding you. Notrium (talk) 03:49, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Ok Notrium, I removed that part from my comment. Now please move on and if you could stop posting on my talk page I would appreciate it. Thanks.GizzyCatBella🍁 03:53, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

AE decision

If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Please copy my appeal to the ] or ]. Your reason here OR place the reason below this template. ~~~~}}. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily.

Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" ). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."

Again, GizzyCatBella, there's no other option but to do thorough review of all pertinent submissions so long as you continue to edit in the topic area of Poland that heavily. So, hopefully, a few days away will resonate the point of that. Hope to see you back editing at that time. Best wishes and kind regards, El_C 23:44, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

I absolutely agree, I made a mistake and it's only my fault for missing the fact that there was a word "WW2" in the restored text. I'm taking full responsibility for it and accept the sanction. I'll try my best going forward, but most likely I will appeal the ban at one point sooner than later. I really think it doesn't serve any purpose anymore since I have learned from my mistake a while ago. Misplaced Pages is a strange world where alliances are formed and "enemies" produced. Sanctioned as such are being used as a weapon to silence opponents, this is really sad but I guess because of human nature, unavoidable.GizzyCatBella🍁 00:06, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

It is sad, but it's the world we live in. Can I suggest that you read back on the two occasions when Sandstein wrote about your topic ban (the original placement and your request to lift it)? In each case he suggested you demonstrate six months of trouble-free editing and then appeal the ban. I fully agree with him on that, and I'm sure you'll have no problem doing so. --RexxS (talk) 00:32, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Yes, I'll. For the next 6 months, I'll try to avoid anything that has "Poland" in the text (just to be sure) and might focus on translating some articles into English in my sandbox on Polish Misplaced Pages. Those articles could be later transferred into English Misplaced Pages. Thank you guys for your time, and sorry for the breach of the topic ban.GizzyCatBella🍁 00:45, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Sockpuppet

Hi, Per this edit, if you know who's behind the account, please start a sock puppet investigation. Nick-D (talk) 11:23, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Nick-D they follow me around for like 2-3 years now, hides behind proxes, I don’t want to waste my time on them. Notice that they added WW2 substance in Poland - thats the topic I can’t edit due to the stupid topic ban. Long story. Just ignore them. - GizzyCatBella🍁 11:28, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Please do report them so the account can be blocked. If there is some kind of long-running harassment, admins or the Wikimedia Foundation may be able to follow up - by range blocking IPs, etc. Nick-D (talk) 11:32, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

I might do that eventually but there are around 70 accounts to report and all of them behind the proxes so it’s hard to prove. I don’t have energy for that Nick. - GizzyCatBella🍁 11:36, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Nick-D I left the note on the admins. talk page but I feel sorry for those guys that they have to deal with all this crap. I'm trying not to overload them unless it is crucial. - GizzyCatBella🍁 11:42, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Please report it. Admins and checkusers can deal with this kind of stuff very quickly. Even playing whack a mole with sockpuppet accounts usually works. Nick-D (talk) 22:41, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Okay, I’ll try to find some energy for it Nick-D but I’m not promising .... GizzyCatBella🍁 22:47, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Nick-D: Since the odds are that this is related to this, as someone who spend countless hours compiling the evidence, only for more than half to be dismissed as "not enough", I am not sure if the system really works. From where I sit, one spends hours preparing evidence, only for a CU to say "hmmm, proxy, similar POV, similar interests, not conclusive". The moles have a very good shield in our apparent super-high evidence standards, at least those uphed by some CUs, for whom seemingly nothing but the sock admitign to their previous identity would work (as long as they got themselves a new proxy). Nonetheless, I'd encourage GCB to submit evidence to the CU, at the very least, we should be able to publicly confirm or deny whether those accounts use a proxy or not. If they use a proxy, it means it is probably that indef banned user (and if I was a betting person I'd also bet this is the case). If not, it could be someone else, the world is a big place after all. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:44, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
