Thanks for uploading File:Dinosaur Train characters.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

World War II and the history of Jews in Poland: Arbitration case opened

Hello Mz7,

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/Evidence. Please add your evidence by April 04, 2023, which is when the first evidence phase closes. Submitted evidence will be summarized by Arbitrators and Clerks at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/Evidence/Summary. Owing to the summary style, editors are encouraged to submit evidence in small chunks sooner rather than more complete evidence later.

Details about the summary page, the two phases of evidence, a timeline and other answers to frequently asked questions can be found at the case's FAQ page.

For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration.

For the Arbitration Committee,

EnPassant

Regarding this finding, can you say whether any other socks were used at Talk:Highland Park parade shooting#Victims'_names? I know you mentioned logged out abuse as well, and was wondering if maybe any IPs were !voting that were actually them? —Locke Coletc 00:25, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

@Locke Cole: The only accounts that I found in that investigation were EnPassant and OrgoneBox, both of which commented in that discussion. Because of the CheckUser policy:   No comment with respect to IP address(es). Mz7 (talk) 08:50, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Chuvash people, Volgabulgari and Chuvash Studies

Hi Mz7. You recently blocked Volgabulgari as a sockpuppet of Kamista. A new account (Chuvash Studies) has appeared immediately afterwards, and given their edits to Chuvash people (here Volgabulgari adds undefined refs to "Golden 2006" and "Golden 2007a", here Chuvash Studies does the same), they appear to be another sock. Should I raise this at SPI or is this WP:QUACK enough to act on? -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested transmissions °co-ords° 20:07, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

@ActivelyDisinterested:   Confirmed.   Blocked and tagged. Mz7 (talk) 03:47, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
