Notice: Under the terms of Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Digwuren, any editor working on topics related to Eastern Europe, broadly defined, may be made subject to an editing restriction at the discretion of any uninvolved administrator.

This restriction is effective on any editor following notice placed on his or her talk page. This notice is now given to you, and future violations of the provisions of this warning are subject to blocking.

[edit] Don't give up

We need users like you to make this project work. We cannot let trolls chase off good editors. Looking forward to your return, --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 18:54, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

I would also prefer you stay. But I wonder who is the troll according to Piotrus? --Irpen 18:56, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
Let me just be even more frank, Sander. "I would prefer you stay" was too weak. I sincerely hope that you would stay on this project. If you need to take a break from this, it's fine, but do come back when you are ready. As for my comment on the second sentence by Piotrus, I would let it stay as it is. Regards, --Irpen 19:25, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

I can't believe this, getting blocked for silly editwarring on an user talkpage who is not even active, is that's what's been going on in here? Sorry but, Sander and Alexia, have you guys lost your mind completely? Hope you'll set your priorities straight after returning since your absence has made fighting the real trolls like Bloomfield AKA Kidsunited really overwhelming to the few editors who care about the subjects. I wish I could say something supportive regarding the block but unfortunantely, I'm sure you'll see it by yourself once cooled down that the block was entirely justified. Nobody should stick their nose into somebody's talk page without having anything to say really and getting into an editwar over this is just so far out that...Well I'm just really p***ed that you guys got yourselves blocked for such a dumb reason and that you have made a favor to your opponents with this. And happy holidays, hope that in the New Year you guys are not going to jump into traps like that and are going to keep up with reasonable judgments, what's important and what's not. Your absence has impacted negatively the projects you were involved with, and that's the reason I came by in the first place. Take care!--Termer (talk) 10:51, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

PS. I looked into it more closely, it seems User:El_C blocked you guys while being in direct opposition, meaning involved in the dispute with you? I don't think, if that's the case, the reasoning with Digiwuren's case and the use of admin tools to block you guys as his opponents was justified by User:El_C. So in that sense I need to withdraw "the block was entirely justified" line by me earlier, although getting into this dispute over a talk page was a bad idea anyway I think.--Termer (talk) 11:22, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

May it be noted that I did not get blocked for the nice remark I left for Ghirla. I Got blocked because I disagreed with El_C -s behavior essentially summing up to gagging that only aggravated the issue that I personally had put behind me and his use of admin tools in blocking Sander. He did NOT act like an admin. He acted like somebody on a bad power trip. And I manintain that position!--Alexia Death the Grey (talk) 17:32, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Comaan guys! I hate to sound like lecturing but it seems like it needs to be spelled out. In any collaborative project in case you can't work together with other people, you're going to get fired sooner or later. Therefore there is no need to take anything personally here and incidents should be put to behind you. In case User:El_C misused his administrative tools by blocking you and Sander while been involved in direct dispute with you as his opponents , it's his problem. The guy definitely didn't show that much good faith towards Daniel Case accusing him of you were trying to provoke me, that you are holding a grudge etc. It seems User:El_C has some problems but these are his problems, I can't see the reasons why should you make it yours since in case the pattern of showing bad faith and blocking dispute opponents continues, the guy is going to get fired by himself one day anyway! The bottom line do you see your role here, you Alexia and Sander as leaving "nice messages" to userpages and getting into silly arguments or helping out with the project? I hope it's the second choice. thanks!--Termer (talk) 11:03, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

PS. And please always do follow my words, not my actions [1] ;-D --Termer (talk) 08:38, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:PaulAriste.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:PaulAriste.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 15:50, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:EricPianka.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:EricPianka.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 07:13, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
