NPOV in the articles concerning all events and locations along the German-Polish border has always been difficult to attain. I don't know what the trigger was, but for almost two weeks now many articles are in the permanent state of edit war. Wikipedians interested in anything, but not in neutral articles, are reverting and re-reverting, insulting each other and ignoring the basic Wikiquette. Take Silesia or Gdansk as some examples.
I am completely at a loss, where all this hatred comes from. My unsuccessful attempts to mediate in this conflict have completely shattered my nerves. I am not used to be affronted by narrow-minded nationalists from either side, and after one party had demanded my de-adminship, I gave up and retreated from these articles. Another user with courageous attempts to solve the conflict, Ruhrjung, has reacted in the same way.
I had some days of thinking, what to do in this conflict, and I am at a loss. Editing these articles is almost impossible, because you are either reverted or insulted (or, most likely, both). This is not the atmosphere where I am willing to participate anymore. Probably it is, because I am engaged in a special area within Wikipedia, but from my angle Wikipedia is not the same place anymore. Please think about, how these disputes can be handled. Good work of many years is destroyed within few days in the moment.
Good luck,
Mirko (Cordyph)
