Ivo Andrić and "nationalists"
You are correct. I was wrong on that one. See Talk:Ivo_Andrić#.22Nationalists.22 for my explanation. Honestly, I would rather stay away from the "these guys him a hero" language and be a little more professional in tone. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 15:34, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Blocked for 24 hours
I have restricted editing from this account for 24 hours, because despite final warnings from both Mangojuice and Ricky81682, you have continued to describe other editors as "banned users". Making accusations like this, without significant evidence, is just as disruptive as it would be to vandalise an article, and will not be tolerated - especially in the sometimes highly-charged atmosphere that seems to surround articles related to the Balkans.
I have recorded this sanction at WP:ARBMAC. If, however, you feel I have acted outside Misplaced Pages policy, you can contest this block by copy/pasting the text {{unblock|reason }} below, replacing reason with your message. Another administrator will then review this block. EyeSerene 10:35, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
ARBMAC
Zdravo Rjecina. About this, that page is for logging of all administrative action taken under the arbitration, not for questions regarding blocks. Thus, I have reverted your edit to that page. Maybe you should talk directly to the blocking admin or something... Regards, BalkanFever 07:24, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Rjecina, civility also applies to edit summaries and comments like this are not helpful. Also, see that he was already there under Gojko Stojčević so I'm merging them. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 23:48, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
- First, I'm only watching certain articles and that's why I missed though. Second, the warnings on your user page are not considered vandalism per se. For the template issues, though, there is a talk page and it seems like, edit warring aside, other admins are aware of his action. You may mention there that there. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:40, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- I think User:AniMate has the right idea here. I don't know what I'm planning on doing. There's been discussions for a while about getting ArbCom to hand down rulings on all the Balkans articles but until then, I'm going to go by feel. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:49, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, how I wish. You should head over the Israel-Palestine, global warming, and various other articles (some has even gotten into real-world attempt to find people and harass them). It is to be expected. Sadly, people do take an internet encyclopedia very, very seriously. The best you can do is realize that there will be emotions, there will be arguments, and just try to reach a compromise. The ones who are reasonable you can work with, the ones who are aren't you can't. And be aware that new ones come in and the cycle starts anew. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 03:01, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
jasenovac
Sorry I did not understand your last comment on the discussion page. What would you like me to do given the current state of the article? I agree with you that is is not currently in good shape - I just don't know how to approach the changes other than the way I have suggested. Please let me know.
Thanks. Vontrotta (talk) 09:17, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks for your clarification. I'll be very careful as I go forward and will refer back to the earlier version you noted. I'm not sure I can keep up with the effort to fix this, but I'll try to do at least a little bit each day. Feel free to contact me directly if you think it would be helpful. By the way, we have a similar problem with the Stara Gradiška concentration camp article. Vontrotta (talk) 11:03, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
No, just no
Perhaps you should look at this users otehr contributions - the guy is a Slovene nationalist. He is only here to try to belittle other former Yugoslav nationalities, while at the same time "fluffing up" Slovenia. This is clearly POV edit warring, and he is not in the right. If you believe he is, well, you're an idiot. I will not stop doing the right thing. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.185.148.41 (talk) 12:06, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
- BTW, I'm aware of 3RR - he made the first revert, so he will get to 4 first, thus I can report his actions, and this vandalistic troll will be blocked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.185.148.41 (talk) 12:08, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Read the sources carefully. And answer me properly - Did you check his edits? The guy is nationalist vandal. If you accept the actions of these diehard nationalists, then you are no better than them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.185.148.41 (talk) 12:16, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
So you're not concerned that the guy is going to Serb articles and is lowering their numbers? Lowering their contributions? You don't care that he's removing Austrian and Hungarian names and replacing them with Hungarian ones? You don't care that he is lowering the population of all Former Yugoslavs, but increasing Slovenes? You don't care about this at all? Jesus Christ. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.185.148.41 (talk) 12:21, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Re:Discussion about Holocaust
I'd suggest reposting this question at WP:PWNB and its Lithuanian counterpart.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 16:39, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
BLP
If you restore that comment about the scholar again, you're likely to be blocked for a BLP violation. SlimVirgin 19:34, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- I looked over the comment here. If he is dead, BLP doesn't apply, but we still should try to be civil. I think you can restore your comment but you should refactor "inventions and lies", perhaps by replacing it with something like "controversies over his research".--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 21:26, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, if he is dead, I apologize and retract the warning. I would still ask you to modify your tone though. There's too much repetition, black and white thinking, sarcasm. Point is: the scholars disagree here too.
- I also think you're relying too much on tertiary sources. It would be good if you could go direct to the secondary scholarly sources, because the ones others have found would seem to support the inclusion of the camp. You therefore need to find some equally good sources (not just websites) that support what you are saying. SlimVirgin 21:56, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- I did ask you to file your own RfC, but you didn't, so I did. You have to understand that I'm an admin on that page, not an editor. I have no interest in the actual content dispute. I just want to see the issue discussed calmly and with no insults and reverting. The more eyes that are on it, the better. SlimVirgin 22:22, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Voting
Hi. You've participated in the debate about deleting of category:Former Towns of RSK 1991-95 . Now, there's a similar voting on deletion on the article (created, although the results of discussion was delete, not listify). The links to the voting is here merger suggestion?. Since you've participated previously in the discussion, you're invited to participate again. Please, give your opinion. Kubura (talk) 14:29, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

It was hanging around for a while. If you would like, I'll drop a note not to archive. -- Avi (talk) 00:47, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
- Note left, please contact Thatcher or Lar. -- Avi (talk) 00:48, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
User:Brzica milos etc
Rjecina, there is no evidence that "Brzica milos etc = Velebit" so stop that nonsense right now. As I told you before, the results at Misplaced Pages:Requests for checkuser/Case/Brzica milos etc were "likely" and not guaranteed. Do not exaggerate the claims as your "crying wolf" will not get you far. You have already been blocked once for repeated sockpuppetry allegations and if you don't stop NOW, I will block you again. You tried a new check at Misplaced Pages:Requests for checkuser/Case/Don Luca Brazzi and were told to wait. Wait you shall. Do not pester User:Thatcher nor anybody else. It will be up to them to decide what to do. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:16, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
- Don't try to be a smart ass. I told you then and I'll tell you the same now: only Thather knows what likely means and that's it for me. Don't act like I'm suggesting unbanning everyone else. I'm not suggesting anything of the sort. My issue is that you claim EVERYONE you disagree with is a sockpuppet of somebody. My patience with that line of arguing is at an end. Frankly, your user page is ridiculously aggressive and I believe a massive violation of WP:USER. I would suggest you tone it down and stop treating this like a battleground. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 04:59, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
