Hello, Volunteer! Just would like to know the rationale behind the deletion of the Donetsk People's Republic from the tab of unrecognized states. Whatever we may think of the actions in Ukraine, I cite the Montevideo Convention:
"The state as a person of international law should possess the following qualifications: (a) a permanent population; (b) a defined territory; (c) government; and (d) capacity to enter into relations with the other states."
While it is obvious that this "country" will not be recognized any time soon, it seems to me that the people who run it seem to follow these criteria.Respond soon please!

== Unsourced contributions ==
==Treblinka graph==
]
Hi, Volunteer Marek. Did you use any special program to create your nice graph ''(right)'', or did you draw it the old way... i.e. by adding each line manually together with the shaded background and the legend? – The reason I ask is because it is completely wrong, even without you knowning. The last long blue line denoting over 65,000 victims on November 10, 1942 is a cumulative number for the entire month starting November 10 and ending on December 15, 1942. That one blue vertical line makes the whole window jump up by 40% (40,000 to 70,000) for no good reason. The same is true about the October 15, 1942 arrivals. The “Aktion” lasted for eight days numbering some 22,000 people from Piotrkow Trybunalski alone, deported in four transports every two days. You marked a whole week (the cumulative number) as one single day. We have two choices, either to remove your graph from mainspace, or fix it somehow. I don't know what to do. – Please explain how your graph came into being so I can decide if I can help. Thanks in advance, ] ] 05:35, 10 May 2014 (UTC)


Greetings, I'm in discussion with another editor regarding supposedly unsourced contributions to a few wiki articles, can you please help me check if those contribs are supported by sources provided. Discussions are at ] and ] , maybe suggest some forum where I can invite others to help, thanks! ] (]) 16:55, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
:I used excel, though I'm not sure if I still have the file. But it shouldn't be too hard to get the data in there again.
:That big spike (which I think is actually 66300) is the sum of the indicated deportations for . According to that source, there were two additional deportations in the period Nov 10-Dec 15 (Gniewoszow, 1000 and Siedlce, 1700). Basically the graph reflects that source, so since that source puts all the deportations on Nov 10th, I put them that way in the graph. Note in the source also says ''Warsaw Ghetto Deportation Statistics – Source BZIH 1 (1951) 81, 86, 90. The November 1942 deportations from the Bialystok General District from 10 November 1942 were often via a number of collection camps such as Bogusze, Kelbasin, Volkovysk.''. So the high number on that day probably includes those who were temporarily in the collection camps.
:Likewise for the deportation from Piotrkow Trybunalski, the reason the whole number is for Oct 15 is that it reflects the source.
:I remember thinking about that issue a bit and then decided to stick with the source since we don't really know how exactly the deportations were distributed over the relevant time period. Note that these are deportations not necessarily the killings.
:In terms of fixing it I think just adding a note to the graph would be fine. Alternatively we could distribute the large numbers over the relevant period equally (e.g. divide the 22k by 8 for that time period). But that would be a bit of original research.] (]) 07:17, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Sometime back you made this edit on the 'Allegations of CIA drug trafficking' page:.

There is talk of restoring that section (on-going) on that talk page....I give my thoughts there. I'd be interested to know what you think (maybe expand upon the reasons given in your edit summary)Rja13ww33 (talk) 18:17, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

Um... I hope my ping at WT:RFA didn't bother you. I didn't mean to remind you of what you went through but I was somewhat angry on your behalf. I didn't really know much about what Icewhiz did before I read your comment months ago and seeing FeydHuxtable write Not sure why several seem to think exceptional editors like Wifione & Icewhiz had malcious intent? Ice used to be a fellow ARS member, he was unusually gentle until he suffered severe provocation. He only sought adminship as a means to fight a certain evil. His play for adminship might have failed, but he simply kept taking things to a new level until his will proved too great for the community to resist. Much as I believe Ice was mistaken in seeing said evil as residing in certain edtiors or being tolerated by Misplaced Pages as a whole, one has to admire his ingenuity & determintation to achieve rightful victory (as he saw it). bothered me. I was hoping that maybe the diff I shared would be like a victim impact statement? But I also didn't want to speak on your behalf because obviously you can do so for yourself (hence the courtesy ping). But again, I didn't mean to remind you what you went through. If you don't want me to ping you about similar situations in the future, I'll respect that. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 14:09, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Editor experience invitation

Hi Volunteer Marek :) I'm looking to interview people here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 12:44, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the hat-tip

It was a pleasant surprise to see your mention of me when completing the editor reflection. I'm impressed that you remember my early forays into privacy protection, and am flattered that they had a positive influence on you. There is a certain irony that, having written some of this stuff more than 15 years ago, my RL name and username are practically used interchangeably within the movement, and I've presented in many public fora under my own name.

The mention at ANI

can be ignored if you choose. Somebody thought they'd been outed is all. Or you can opine if you like but I just thought I would try to alleviate any christ what now thoughts you might have had. I'd give it a miss if I were you, since he will argue forever, but I didn't want to talk about you behind your back even in passing. Oh speaking of, if you still care about the place we do not name there's a thread about the steward elections; your name came up there but not in a bad way about you either Elinruby (talk) 16:30, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Request for amendment at WP:ARCA about World War II and the history of Jews in Poland

Hello Volunteer Marek,

a request for amendment that affects the 1-way interaction ban with Piotrus and a 1-way interaction ban with Volunteer Marek from the World War II and the history of Jews in Poland case has been made at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment § Amendment request: World War II and the history of Jews in Poland. Your input would be welcome.

Best regards,

Threading

This is unrelated to our back-and-forth, but it is on the same article talk page. I indented and moved your 04:57, 7 July 2024 reply to JDiala because it split their reply to themselves. I hope you don't mind. Link for review. If you revert, I won't contest it. While I'm here, I struck the DE comment and the explanation is available with my 06:15, 7 July 2024 reply. Carry on, Mr rnddude (talk) 06:31, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Utsa Patnaik

Hello VolunteerMarek. I had a query about the reliability of Utsa Patnaik on the Bengal Famine of 1943 article? I ask because you fully removed her opinion from the body on June 24 because it was apparently fringe, yet another anonymous user on July 1 added a whole paragraph sourced to Patnaik to the lead about inflation even though it's not a summary of the body and with no remaining mention of Patnaik in the body. I think her view deserves some mention in the body but clearly what this anonymous user added is undue and not following Misplaced Pages's guidelines for the lead section. No other scholar even gets named in the lead apart from Patnaik. 185.21.22.198 (talk) 11:22, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Patnaik , Monbiot and Hickel are most certainly fringe by any reasonable definition of fringe. “Comment is free” is not a reliable source. Volunteer Marek 18:49, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Arbitration motions regarding My very best wishes

The Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:

Remedies 5.1 and 5.2 of World War II and the history of Jews in Poland (the topic and interaction bans on My very best wishes, respectively) are repealed.

And it has resolved by another motion that:

My very best wishes' topic ban from World War II in Eastern Europe and the history of Jews in Eastern Europe, imposed under the Eastern Europe contentious topic procedures, is repealed.

For the Arbitration Committee, SilverLocust 💬 06:33, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Discuss this at: Misplaced Pages talk:Arbitration Committee/Noticeboard § Arbitration motions regarding My very best wishes

Arbitration amendment request archived

The request for amendment in which those two motions were proposed has been closed and is archived at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment/Archive 128#Amendment request: World War II and the history of Jews in Poland. The repeal of remedy 5.2 means that the ban on My very best wishes interacting with you has been lifted. SilverLocust 💬 07:30, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
