Copyvio concerns among other things, the information being inserted in the article is being copy-pasted directly from the sources, and the editor has not addressed these copyright violation issues on the talk page or anywhere else. The user's page was created after being notified of 3RR, declaring "May the edit wars commence!!!!!!" His behavior on the talk page and edit summaries also leaves much to be desired, but that perhaps is a subject for another board. - SudoGhost 14:14, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

Further information, just for the links: This began on the help-desk [30], there was some subsequent discussion on my user talk page [31]  Chzz  ►  17:56, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

I have blocked User:109.69.9.10 for edit-warring and not engaging in any discussion (block states 3RR violation, but that's just me being bad at math, I clarified on talk page). I do hope removing the ability to edit-war on that page will bring him to discussing the issue on his/her talk page. I'll try to keep an eye open for subsequent developments. I have not rollbacked his latest revert, but it probably needs to be done. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 18:10, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

If I do the rollback do I risk being blocked, or is my 3RR warning now voided? Roger (talk) 18:17, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

It would probably better if you avoid doing so, there's enough eyeballs on that page anyway now, I hope. One would imagine a user would react better if it's not always the same guy reverting him over and over. If there are more reverts within 24 hours, that would make it a new ip, and semi-protection or other measures might have to be considered. In any case, I'd say on the balance it's probably better if you don't revert him. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 18:30, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

OK, I'll just watch. Thanks everyone for helping resolve this - let's hope it stays resolved now. Roger (talk) 19:09, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

I'm very new to Wikipedia but I did notice that the user I'm reporting and what I assume is his socketpuppet prevented other views from being expressed and reverted back any content that did not fit his political point of views. There was virtually no discussion taking place on the talkpage but at least two users wanted to change to name to "Operation Red Coalition" because it was more neutral and better reflected thirld party publication. Truthtellers78 (talk) 19:25, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

I don't even know how I should respond to these ridiculous claims. First of all the second and fourth revert that truthteller provides are exactly the same edit. Secondly, truthteller has absurdly accused User:Pristino of being a sockpuppet of mine without presenting any sort of evidence. This is definitely untrue and an inflammatory accusation.

The root of the matter here seems to be that truthteller has been unilaterally changing the page title of Adel al-Jubeir assassination plot to Operation Red Coalition without any sort of discussion on the talk page or consensus, while claiming he has. As a result, I have reverted truthteller's title change multiple times, because he refuses to employ the appropriate protocol.

I ultimately tired of this and tried to do the fair thing by warning truthteller here [44] on his talk page that if he did not follow the appropriate Wikipedia guidelines I would be forced to take him to WP:ANEW. Seems like truthteller decided to preempt me with this report while once again unilaterally changing the title of Adel al-Jubeir assassination plot to Operation Red Coalition. Plot Spoiler (talk) 19:54, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

I'm not an admin, but there doesn't appear to be a 3RR violation here... and those edits happened several days ago (blocks for edit warring are meant to be preventative, not punitive). Also, I see nothing to indicate that User:Pristino is a sockpuppet of Plot Spoiler (and this would be the wrong place to make that accusation anyways; go to WP:SPI). However, it does appear that Truthtellers78 is correct in that he is discussing it on the Talk Page while Plot Spoiler keeps reverting the move without joining the discussion (see Talk:Operation_Red_Coalition#Alternative_naming). I'd recommend that both parties cease fire on flipping the page move back and forth any further with reverts and start discussing the move in earnest on the Talk Page. Regards, AzureCitizen (talk) 20:12, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Admittedly, I missed that truthteller commented on the talk page and I have now added my own response. Regardless, truthteller did not have the consensus to make such a key change in the article. He just commented himself in support and then used that as license to change the article to his liking. His WP:Soapboxing views are also evident. Plot Spoiler (talk) 20:52, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

• Reporter blocked. WP:EW covers more than just 3RR. I am leaving the article where it is for now and unprotected, but encourage the involved parties to work out what title is best supported by the sources before move-warring about it any more. - 2/0 (cont.) 00:07, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

I'm very critical of this decision, because both me and my counterpart acted in a similar way, I did not in any way violate the 3PR, but I did one change in a 24 hour period that took 3 saved to accomplish, my counterpart did exactly the same yet I'm the one who got blocked. Why? We should both have been blocked or the application declined.

This is edit warring across multiple articles not just one, Galling, Wear and Stress (mechanics) as well as Talk:Galling, trying to insert links to a personal thesis then refusing to engage constructively with other editors on the article talk pages as well as his own talk page. It's been going on for a long time judging by his talk page but has recently become much more intensive.

I don´t have the skill to navigate through the Wikipedia’s official bureaucracy.

However I think it´s clear that a couple of editors delet the references to waste amounts of text and pictures which I´m the author and original creator to, in the articles Galling, Wear and Stress (mechanics) as well as my helpful discussions with other users in Talk:Galling

I also gave away my copyright to the Wikipedia commons so it´s clear I don´t hide behind aliases or make phony user accounts to get my scientific work public.

For example, It will be impossible to incorporate pictures in Wikipedia if these policies of yours make it impossible to give away your own pictures and hinders you to include your own work as a reference to the same pictures.

The main goal these people have is not to improve Wikipedia, rather miss credit me by using bureaucratic means, ses User talk:Haraldwallin, User talk:Mgnbar, User talk:Johnuniq, User talk:Tournesol and User talk:GameOn.

He is well known in France for his tendency to criticize all the websites about Tolkien languages (good or bad, including WP:EN and WP:FR, althought he uses it to self-promotion). On the other hand, he invented a global theory about languages, which includes all the conceptions of Tolkien, earliest like latest, even this conception is in contradiction with Tolkien views. For more about his global theory, see this study. In short, all his contributions, additions like deletions by the way, must be seen with more attention than another contributor, I think. Druth (talk) 21:18, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

There is consensus at WikiProject Middle-earth that the Encyclopedia of Arda is a standard source in the absence of primary sources: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Middle-earth/Standards. As to Laurifindil and the scholarly fractions regarding Tolkien linguistics, see also JCBradfield's comment at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Middle-earth#"neo-language".

Please see the article history instead as this involves multiple users. The disputed content in question is the proposal to suppress the use of the word "myth" in the article, originally proposed by User:Zenkai251 in this edit. User:Til Eulenspiegel has apparently done this before to the same article back in August, as evidenced from his talk page.

I myself will voluntarily cease reverting the changes again to that article (and probably discussion as well). Freezing the article revision to show their desired changes may have been the intent, however. I'll leave it to the administrator to decide if the latest change should be reverted to the version before the current dispute per our policies on WP:FRINGE, WP:VALID, and WP:DUE.-- Obsidi♠n Soul 13:34, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Where is the violation? The article intro had a carefully worked out consensus from last time around many months ago. Jesanj upset the balance in late October with his own version, and since then you and he have been reverting to it steadily against at least 5 others. Yet you want to pretend that you and he somehow make up a 'consensus' agains the other 5 because we are "wrong" and therefore only you and he count for purposes of determining that there is consensus. Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 13:42, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Please discuss this in Talk:Genesis creation narrative#Change "myth" to "narrative" and do not misrepresent the fact that there are more editors against your changes than the ones doing the reverting, let the admin decide on the history and the discussion in question. I will not comment on it any further other than you were warned and still reverted four times rather than continue the discussion initiated by User:Zenkai251.-- Obsidi♠n Soul 13:52, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

There's no point in trying to resolve this dispute as it has been going on for some time before I got involved. The talk page is not helping. Too many passionate people. This page needs to be frozen because there is a mini-political war going on over the left vs right nature of fascism. Several users are coordinating with one another on blocking additions, reverting edits to get around policy, being nasty, and POV pushing. We all need some cooling off time.

More Nonsense Edit Warring To Come!

And of course, it will be by some POV Warrior who wants to whitewash Fascism being on the Right. It's not as if we haven't had this discussion a bajillion times, or that every reputable scholar on the planet considers Fascism to be Right-Wing. Of course, since I've already reverted the silliness, and he's reverted it back, I can't touch it without violating 1RR, so someone else will have to delete all of his deliberate attempts at propagandizing here. I've also reported him to the Edit Warring Noticeboard for his violations of the restrictions placed on this page. Bryonmorrigan (talk) 20:00, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

I see that he has self-reverted, which is a good sign. Lets hope that we can discuss this sensibly now.

It is not so much named editors with different understandings of the subject that puzzle me; It is the never-ending flow of POV IP editors. It sometimes feels a bit like an organised campaign to wear us down, but that way paranoia lies. I think it is just that there are a lot of ill-educated people about who think right=good, left=bad and that nuance is a type of French perfume. Whether somebody is pointing them in our direction I really don't know. The other things I find puzzling are why they get so upset and why they take it out on us. Do they write indignant letters to the historians we use as sources telling them they have got it all wrong? I doubt it. I wish they could just realise that Fascism being on the right doesn't taint the non-Fascist right any more than the non-Stalinist left needs to apologise for Stalin. They are defending themselves against an accusation that isn't even being made. --DanielRigal (talk) 21:34, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

I think a lot of it is due to people getting their "information" from non-scholars, usually radio talk-show hosts with nothing more than a high-school diploma, or debunked journalists that no reputable historian supports. They have heard all their lives, from everyone from their high-school history teacher onwards, that Fascism is a Right-Wing ideology, so when someone contradicts this, usually by twisting the meanings of the definitions of the terms "Left" and "Right," (usually into some ludicrous "Big Government" vs. "Small Government" paradigm...) or by relying on fraudulent information, or the works of non-historians, they feel that they have learned a "secret truth," and must spread the "news" to all. It's like the "zealotry of the newly-converted." But yes, your comparisons to Stalinism are particularly apt. Your average Right-Winger is no more a "Fascist" than a Left-Winger like Martin Luther King, Jr. was a "Stalinist." -- Bryonmorrigan (talk) 22:05, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

I don't view it as very becoming for you to speak of me or what my intentions could have been in my absence. I should point out that I haven't encountered a "1RR" article before, I'm afraid I'm not one of you seasoned Wikipedians. I wasn't trying to whitewash anything, my intention was to have the article worded in as objective a way as possible. What is "right" or "left" varies between different countries and different time periods. To try to place fascism on some nonexistent universal left-right scale trivializes the conversation. How for example would you categorize fascism within the left-right paradigm existing in the United States? "Right wing" in US politics refers to the belief in a free market economic system with little to no intervention on the part of the state, and a decentralized, constitutionally limited form of government with more power and autonomy granted to the states. This contrasts greatly with fascists such as Mussolini and Hitler who criticized free market capitalism and favored a highly centralized authoritarian state. Also, despite what your favorite talking heads have told you, just because someone disagrees with you on something does not automatically make them a Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly fan.--Cyrrk (talk) 18:50, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Since October 19, The Devil's Advocate, who has a history of being blocked for edit warring [96], has attempted numerous substantial edits to 7 World Trade Center, a Featured Article that had been stable for many months. In many of his edits, he has removed sourced material in a manner consistent with POV-pushing or whitewashing the article toward 9/11 conspiracy theories, and against talk-page consensus. Examples:

[97] Removal of sourced information about physical evidence used by firefighters to predict that the building would collapse due to fire
[98] Weakening of language to support the idea that NIST could not "rule out" the use of thermite to demolish 7WTC
[99] Removal of engineering and fire-safety organizations that collaborated with NIST, such as the American Society of Civil Engineers (the mentions are injurious to CT claims that the investigation was secret, insular, and inadequate)
[100] and [101] Repeated removals of image of Fiterman Hall, a building across the street that was damaged by 7WTC's collapse (the image is injurious to the CT claim that 7WTC collapsed symmetrically into its own footprint)

-Jordgette [talk] 01:59, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

First, I would like to thank Jordgette for notifying me of the listing before doing so, a courtesy I was not afforded in the previous case mentioned, only finding out about the notice after I was blocked. I would also implore any admin looking at this notice to review my response to the blocking admin on my user talk page and pay attention to the edits (namely that several editors were engaging in tag team reverts thus skirting 3RR). I freely admit I was edit-warring in that case and was wrong to do so, however in this case I am not engaging in any sort of edit war.

While I have made a few reversions, this so-called "edit war" has really just been me pursuing the normal path of WP:BRD. Jordgette is putting forward the false notion that I was simply deleting important information on the collapse. However, my edits arose from a suggestion on splitting the article and all the information I removed from this article was moved to Collapse of the World Trade Center, specifically the sections concerning building 7. I also specifically changed the wikilink in the building 7 article's section on the collapse to go directly to one of those sections in the collapse article.

As for Fiterman Hall two of the edits were part of those efforts to shorten the section. Both of them were before Jordgette expressed any specific issue with removing the information concerning Fiterman Hall. An effort I made to shorten the section after Jordgette's objection left the Fiterman Hall information untouched. Though I did later remove the image again, I still left mentions of Fiterman Hall, including the wikilink to an article that has the exact same image. However I did err in the sense that I did not recall Jordgette specifically objecting to removal of the image, as opposed to removal of the information. Similar to the changes I previously made to the article after discussion I believed that retaining the mention of Fiterman Hall satisfied those previous objections.

Further I would like to note that, although three efforts I made to shorten the section were reverted, I made two later changes that also shortened the article taking consideration of the objections made to previous edits. Jordgette and Tom harrison, another editor who objected to the previous trims, both appear to have agreed with those changes. So my efforts led to exactly what the process is supposed to achieve, a consensus position.

Now, I should mention what Jordgette has excluded, which is a disagreement over the content of a sentence. That change took a sentence that was exactly copied from the source and put it in quotations. Jordgette reverted this change and I reverted that noting it was an exact quote. This was one of two instances over the duration of this period that I simply reverted another editor's changes and, in this case, Jordgette apparently agreed with my reasoning for the revert and rewrites the sentence in response. After that I added the words "According to NIST" and this was reverted by Tom harrison so I insert a similar remark with different wording to see if that would make it more acceptable. When this change was also reverted I started a section in the talk page to express my reasons for wanting the change, specifically focusing on the undue weight it gave to one comment in the source, without considering the greater uncertainty expressed in another part of the source. I also raised a point about the addition improving the flow of the paragraph. That latter argument was completely overlooked by all the other editors and their main response was to discuss issues other than the ones I raised. It should be noted that with Tom and Jordgette's reversions considered (with every single change they undid the insertion of "According to NIST" or similar wording) together they made four reverts over a 24-hour period, circumventing WP:3RR in a perfect example of relay reverting.

The last edit I made appears to be the reason for Jordgette bringing this action and it does involve the same sentence. I made a more substantial change to the sentence that I think had more authoritative wording than my previous changes, thus seeking to accommodate the concerns of Jordgette and other editors, while still avoiding the strict absolutism of the wording they were insisting on. Additionally, the sentence was moved to the intro, which I thought was a much more suitable place for it. I also shortened two paragraphs, including the Fiterman Hall one I mentioned already, with another discussing SEC files and moved this information further up in the section so that they would immediately follow the other paragraphs on the collapse, rather than interrupting talk of the NIST investigation. Jordgette reverted the entirety of the edit and mentioned the admin noticeboard in, what I thought, was a warning not to repeat some change Jordgette found objectionable. In response I once more started a section asking for clarification on what Jordgette specifically objected to about my edit. Two hours after I asked this good faith question is when Jordgette left the comment on my user talk page notifying me of this posting on the noticeboard and Jordgette seemingly indicates having seen my call for discussion only to toss it aside saying: "I'm really not interested in hearing you defend your actions again, so please spare us both the time and energy."

Earlier I mentioned that I had performed two reversions. Aside from the one mentioned above where my reasoning was apparently accepted as legitimate there was another revert that I made two weeks prior. So far the results of that reversion have gone almost completely unchallenged by any editor, with only one part being challenged in the past day. On the other hand, Jordgette and Tom harrison have performed several times more reverts over the same time period, in two cases undoing uncontroversial changes as well as the ones they disliked that I had to restore, with five of their reverts being in the past two days. In light of these facts I hope any admin evaluating this action by Jordgette will dismiss the accusations. I apologize for the length.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 07:09, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

• Comment - Here are the diffs where I merged the information from the building 7 article to the collapse article: [107] [108]. If you look at the current version of that article you will see I have not made any significant changes to the material after moving it. To claim my efforts at summarizing the information on the collapse in the building 7 article are POV-pushing is just absurd. My edits in that respect were consistent with merging information from one article to another.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 14:50, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
• Comment - Enforcement is perhaps a more appropriate forum for this complaint, and that will be the next stop if the action continues. This includes any further attempts to remove sourced information in a manner consistent with whitewashing the 7 World Trade Center article, regardless of whether the information then appears elsewhere (such as in the middle of the much longer, poorly organized article primarily on the collapse of the Twin Towers). -Jordgette [talk] 22:11, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Four reverts by The Devil's Advocate since November 5 and a history of similar reverting in October. I think this should be closed with an edit-warring block and a warning about the discretionary sanctions under WP:ARB911. The reverts can be observed just by looking at the edit history. A verdict on the necessity of admin action can be reached without doing an analysis of the content. It is enough to observe that the editor is consistently pushing one point of view over a period of time and that there is no supporting consensus for his changes on the talk page. EdJohnston (talk) 02:34, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

While I admit it is long, I implore you to read my explanation thoroughly if you have not. What you are talking about in October can hardly be called edit-warring on my part as each edit involved numerous uncontroversial edits, good faith changes that could not even remotely be construed as POV (removing the material SEC files being destroyed would seem to favor those opposing conspiracy theories don't you think), and each new change removed less and less material in response to discussion on the talk page. It was WP:BRD in action and ultimately resulted in a consensus that still stands.

As for me supposedly making "four reverts" I think you are being excessive in describing them all as reverts. In one case, as I noted, the reasoning for the revert was acknowledged as legitimate and the editor made an effort to accommodate that. I reinserted part of the wording because that change did not satisfy all my concerns. Another editor reverted this, and I inserted new wording to see if that would be more acceptable. When it was clear that would not satisfy the concerns of those editors I initiated a discussion in the talk page. All of this would be consistent with WP:BRD again. The next edit, which I presume you are calling a fourth revert, was anything but a revert. It was a substantial rewrite covering several issues that did not restore any previous edit in fact or in spirit. To suggest I was simply restoring some old POV version each time is disingenuous. On the other hand, those two editors pushing hard for a block did exactly that acting as if WP:V overrides WP:NPOV.

For you to even seriously consider a push for a block from someone who makes the push while accusing me of elaborate deceit, demonstrating a woeful inability to assume good faith is incredible. On the other hand, Jordgette clearly expresses a bizarre idea that all information I removed, again in order to shorten the section per WP:SUMMARY, after moving the information to another article was essential for the article so as to counter the claims of conspiracy theorists and that my good faith efforts to shorten the article were solely motivated by POV. It is as absurd in its hypocrisy as it is in its presumptuousness.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 04:27, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

• Comment I do not want to seem too pushy in making repeated comments, though I think, since Jordgette is accusing me of pushing a specific point of view that it would be apt for me to explain my opinions on this issue. Generally I do not consider the idea of collapse as a result of fires to be a serious point of contention. While I have not closed my mind to the prospect of a controlled demolition explanation it is not, for me, a matter that I seriously consider or one that I find particularly important to focus on. For me the scientific investigations in this regard present compelling reasons for accepting the official version of events, thought NIST's apparent uncertainty about thermite does not allow me to objectively consider the matter to have been reasonably settled. At the same time I do not consider controlled demolition by any means to be necessary in any way to explain the collapse of building 7 or the twin towers.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 07:49, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

• Result: Blocked one week for edit warring. It is common to hold off admin sanctions when we feel that an editor is basically well-intentioned but just went over the line inadvertently. My own review of the article talk page suggests that was not the case. The editor was previously blocked for edit warring on another article unrelated to 9/11 but where the word 'conspiracy' occurs in the discussion. The previous issue is detailed in Talk:North American Union/Archive 7. The editor is articulate and can follow a thread of argument but seems oblivious to the fact that his suggestions for article improvement are motivated by his own POV. In this case he wants to take out of a featured article the elements which would make it most useful to the reader, since it tends to reduce the plausibility of the conspiracy theory. I'm also notifying him of the discretionary sanctions under WP:ARB911. What a surprise that someone interested in improving this article would mention 'thermite' and want to modify what it says in that area. You probably won't get the full flavor of his reasoning unless you read Talk:7 World Trade Center#Trimmed 9-11 section and the sections below it. EdJohnston (talk) 18:41, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Looks like he was attempting to fix a typo and intervening edits tripped him up, akin to an edit conflict. Lots of discussion on talk shows he's attempting to edit in good faith. I think we should just warn him to use {{inuse}} next time. – Lionel ^(talk) 06:18, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

The discussion on talk shows that no one agrees with him, but he keeps reinserting the same material anyway. It's not about a typo. If it were, other editors would have fixed the typo for him. MastCell ^Talk 06:23, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Both of DMSBel's reverts look like partial reverts but a partial revert counts as 1 revert per this statement "The 1RR says an editor must not perform more than one revert, in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material, on a single page within a 24-hour period." The phrase "a study by David A. Grimes of maternal mortality from 1990 - 1999 estimated" was re-inserted by DMSBel twice via edit-warring. I'm sure now that a block is on the cards. Minima© (talk) 06:35, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

It looks like DMSBel does not like the result of the Grimes study which found abortion to be 12.5 times safer than childbirth, by some mortality measure. (I have no opinion on whether it belongs in the article or how it should be described, but whether it leaves or goes should depend on consensus). He is trying to change the article to minimize the significance of the Grimes study, ever since he reverted out that reference entirely on 7 November. His edit summary complained that it's more than 10 years old, even though it was published in 2006. He opened a discussion thread at Talk:Abortion#Maternal mortality to argue for the change, but he has found no support there. Three other editors joined that thread to defend the validity of the Grimes results. His persistence in making Grimes-related reverts on 9 November suggests he is planning to ignore the lack of any consensus in his favor. EdJohnston (talk) 06:41, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

I have left the page substantially as it was. I re-edited part of the safety section to correct an error with dates in it (it stated 1999 when it should have stated 1990-1999 this was an oversight on another editors part), and to specify author of a report which was already mentioned, that with a couple of other minor changes. I have not made any further edits on other matters under discussion on the talk page. I was cut and pasting some material from Wordpad, and cut more than I intended hence mention of another report I imediately took out, pending discussion. The three or four editors there with the same POV might like to wait for others to enter the discussion who could offer a fresh perspective from time to time, and also to allow editors time who are in the process of tidying up edits. I was not aware of the {inuse} template, or how it functions. But thankyou for explaining that. DMSBel (talk) 06:45, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Yes I took out the Grimes study when I was told by MastCell that research from the last 5 years normally prefered.DMSBel (talk) 06:49, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

OK, so a) I never said anything like that, and b) even if I had, the study is from the last 5 years (it was published in 2006). I'm starting to feel like we're outside the realm of objective reality here. MastCell ^Talk 07:01, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

I have argued not for its removal since then but for contextualisation of it with suggestion a more recent study that would serve that purpose. DMSBel (talk) 06:52, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

The issue is related to tags, not content. My understanding is that users can't tag an article and never bother to start a discussion or explain why. Here is what the template documentation say: "The editor placing this template in an article should promptly begin a discussion on the article's talk page. In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant, then this tag may be removed by any editor." Just a cursory look at the contributions of Wayiran (talk · contribs), kurdo777 (talk · contribs), Penom (talk · contribs) will show that these editors have been doing nothing but adding tags using vague edit summaries then come here complaining when their tag is removed. I've asked these editors to be more specific about their concerns many times, even started a discussion on their behalf [121], but none of theme actually substantiated any of their claims. Tags cannot stay forever and without reason. I would say this is just an example of trying to game the system and get me blocked without ever explaining why these tags are needed.

I'm afraid I haven't. But, then, again, he hasn't attempted to justify the addition's relevance to the article, although he did rail against "censorship" at 09:00. I see he responded to my comment about relevance at 14:18. I'll check to see what the response was. <returning> not on point. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 14:36, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

There was no attempt to communicate between Mr. Rubin and me. I got a 3RR warning already after two reverts and then complained at the talkpage about the censorship on the article (see: Talk:Bank Transfer Day#Censorship.

Nope, no fourth revert yet, or the anonymous must be identical what I don't believe. This is clearly a case of a black kettle. Night of the Big Wind _talk 15:41, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

I agree that the article needs to be balanced, but the addition requires sensible context, which doesn't seem to be present in the article. I've edited the sentence he wanted to balance down to what was actually said, and note that it requires context. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 15:55, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

User:Mtking, you are not editing the article currently and I do not see your name on the talk page. Do you disagree with anything that Gandydancer has done? These edits seem to be minor rewording in most cases. Has he undone anything more than once? The edit summaries sound diplomatic. EdJohnston (talk) 05:21, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

I have edited it the past, and the page has been subject to edit-warring in the past, I asked the user to consider stopping his edits, he carried on. Is my reading of WP:3RR wrong in that he has not broken the rule ? Mtking ^(edits) 05:36, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

It is hard to see an actual dispute here. 3RR is used to measure the extent of a dispute, when there is one. EdJohnston (talk) 05:55, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

A little background. Yesterday editor Amadscientist made sweeping changes to the lede without prior discussion. In my opinion his bold edits were justified because the OWS discussion page is so bogged down in petty, poorly referenced demands to "un-bias" the article, and related long discussions that never go anywhere. I believe that I have a good working relationship with Amadscientist and the other major editors to the page and that they welcome disagreement and are reasonable in their efforts to work out differences. My lede edits were related to information I considered to be repeated twice and removing the examples of "crime" and adding copy to balance the issue. My Union edits merely combined a couple of sentences for brevity and deleting some info that seemed not so important since I wanted to add recent info without letting that section get too long. As always, I welcome different points of view and at times other editors have helped me to see that their ideas are more appropriate than mine. But if the rule restricts me to less than three edits a day that include deleting any copy written by another editor, that will certainly make editing more difficult. BTW, just for the record, I am not a "he", I'm a "she". Gandydancer (talk) 06:03, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

I received an email (copy available to any admin who wants to see it) threatening various attacks on the Cynefin article and myself by the editor referenced above. Sure enough next day we get that editors commentary on Cynefin which is a clear case of original research. The material has now been reverted by three different editors (I am one) as OR. The principles of WP:OR have been explained to the user but they have persisted in inserting the material. The user's talk page also contains some wild stuff about contacting Government Agencies who have used the model, and what can only be described as polemic covering my religious preferences amount other things.

I should say that I don't think this editor is a sock of Irvine22 who has been vandalizing the article recently. Whatever a skim of the users comments on their talk page is slightly disturbing. --Snowded ^TALK 11:56, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

I would love it if anyone involved in the conversation would discuss the subject matter we are editing. Instead the conversation has been a back and forth about rules, instead of about truth. It would be so welcome if a member of the community would discuss plasticity, mirroring or any of the other parts of NLP, and it's sad that only discussion of rules comes up. --Encyclotadd (talk) 22:11, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

There is a lot of "control" at that article User:Snowded has a real life involvement and a website dedicated to the topic and is central to the control of the content - there was tag teaming against this user and then User:Snowded went to tell User:WMC on his userpage and User:WMC immediately reverted to the groups favored position and then created this report. Discussion is preferable to wiki lawyering and tag team reverting and reports. Off2riorob (talk) 22:19, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

My web site has mentioned NLP just over ten times in seven years of nearly daily blogging and a previous COI case on this subject did not support your position. I went to WMC as a neutral party as it was obvious you were making this issue personal so I decided to back off --Snowded ^TALK 22:28, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

The problem is that you are inserting material which you say provides empirical support for NLP, but that material does not mention NLP. That is original research and/or synthesis. It would be wrong for editors to discuss the subject matter as wikipedia relies on third party sources. --Snowded ^TALK 22:17, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

FWIW [172] shows Snowded soliciting assistance from Mr. Connolley WMC (emended per post therefrom). (Would you be prepared to have another look at the NLP article? Encyclotadd still doesn't get the principle of OR and is now in breech of 3rr. I could just make a 3rr report, but I am (for the umpteenth time) being accused of a COI and Offtoriorob has jumped in as well (any area of wikipedia where I am involved in any controversy he arrives). With Chuckfreyconsultant permanently banned after taking umbrage over NLP issues I think this needs a neutral perspective at 21:48 11/11/11 - shortly before this report was filed) so this report may be the result of a CANVASS.

Where Off2riorob starts Collect follows. When are you guys going to get over the fact that the community did not support your position on the UAF article? I stepped back because my involvement with the NLP article was being used as part of that long running sore and asked an admin who had previously taken a neutral position to have a look. --Snowded ^TALK 23:16, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

User:William M. Connolley is not an administrator , he was de-sysopped for violations in his "expert" area. The UAF and the community position in relation to such is meaningless to me, just to clear that up. Off2riorob (talk) 23:20, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

It is puzzling that Encyclotadd will make no concessions whatever, since this looks like a plain vanilla case for a WP:3RR block. The fact that one or more parties could have real-world connection to the topic is irrelevant to the problem of reverting too many times. Encyclotadd cannot claim to have been reverting vandalism or BLP violations. Encyclotadd is reverting against four other people which ought to suggest to him that he does not have consensus. EdJohnston (talk) 00:55, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

O2RR is wrong, as usual William M. Connolley (talk) 07:58, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

I regret making the 3rr mistake, and also for neglecting to sign a few posts (thanks Signbot for helping me out), and I hope everyone understands that I'm a total newbie at editing Wikipedia. Believe me, my intentions are not only honorable but I'm very eager to contribute very positively.

I have been trying to add references to leading faculty at ivy league institutions. They have been removed on the grounds that the sources referenced do not specifically mention NLP. However, folks can agree the sources discuss ideas from NLP, because this is very easily verified by reading the sources I referenced along with the inclusion, or by doing simple Google searches..... For example, a search for "Mirroring" and "NLP" produces a million plus results. Anyone who has read substantially about the subject matter knows mirroring is part of NLP. Plasticity is the same-- dating back to the original writings by the founders, and showing up in a million search results since then. So I feel strongly that removal of references to leading faculty of ivy league institutions discussing these parts of NLP amounted to vandalism regardless as to whether it was intended as such by the editors. This isn't about expressing a particular viewpoint. This is about including the facts. Thanks. --Encyclotadd (talk) 04:34, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Suggest 31 hours for Thoughtfortheday and semiprotection to stop the dynamic IP. If the question of who distributed her book in the US is considered important and if there is a risk that Heartland Institute is not actually involved, that material could be removed until consensus is found. This article is in the domain of WP:ARBCC, and the IP's edits appear to be devoted to that topic. A one week rangeblock of 188.227.160.0/18 might be considered. See the rangecontribs results. EdJohnston (talk) 05:21, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

I think I've identified the person behind the IP - it's User:Marknutley, who was banned from the CC topic area in WP:ARBCC and was subsequently caught sockpuppeting in the same topic area and is currently indefinitely blocked. See this comment. Prioryman (talk) 08:26, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

(added) I've now raised this at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Marknutley. Prioryman (talk) 08:52, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

• Result: User:Alexandria has issued a two-year proxy block of 188.227.160.0/19 (block range · block log (global) · WHOIS (partial)) per the outcome of the SPI. Since the IP signs himself 'Mark' and it's probably Mark Nutley we shouldn't sanction Thoughtfortheday for reverting them, though breaking 3RR for any reason is risky.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: Ongoing RfC

Comments:

Elizium23 (talk) 04:06, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

With this edit I've taken the liberty of expanding the report submitted by Elizium23. Obviously, if anybody opposes this change I'm more than happy to undo the edit, or anyone else is more than welcome to. --AussieLegend (talk) 04:50, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

I made the mistake of choosing to comment on an open RfC at this article a few days ago,[197] and have since done some work on the newly created episode list article, so both are in my watchlist. This edit summary caught my eye. User:Television fan had made some reasonable changes to the article earlier, explaining his reasons in his edit summary.[198] The changes were reverted by Lhb1239, who really didn't provide any justification.[199] A modified and "improved" version of the content was restored.[200] Lhb1239 then reverted[201] and left a warning on the editor's talk page.[202] Not content with that, he then continued to harass this editor about edit-warring.[203] The editor that he harassed had actually attempted to discuss the matter on Lhb1239's talk page,[204] but Lhb1239 deleted his post without replying.[205] He is still attempting to discuss.[206]

Later, at Pan Am (TV series), another editor removed a couple of red-links.[207] Lhb1239 restored one of these redlinks with the rationale that "wikipedia is not yet finished".1st revert As the article had been deleted at AfD and the subject still fails WP:NACTOR, I removed the link again, with a direction to WP:REDNOT.[208] Lhb1239 then reverted that.2nd revert I again pointed him to WP:REDNOT. A review of Lhb1239's recent contributions shows that he has been in conflict with numerous editors in just about every discussion that he has had, demonstrating incivility, ownership of articles and a general unwillingness to collaborate, so I chose to give him a 3RR warning at this point, rather than wait until his third revert.[209] He deleted the warning[210] before I had even had a chance to add some clarification,[211] and then made his third revert in the article.[212]

I've since discovered that he has made two further reverts in the article,[213][214] making his fifth revert only 14 hours after his first. While I do think that the last two reverts were appropriate (had somebody else made them), this still breaches 3RR. Lhb1239 is well aware of the requirements of 3RR, having been warned, and even blocked for 3RR breaches in the past, as recently two weeks ago.[215][216] --AussieLegend (talk) 05:00, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

• Comment I've received no notification of this report being made and contrary to AussieLegend's claim above, I was not blocked for anything two weeks ago. Lhb1239 (talk) 05:14, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Still, you managed to find it, so all should be well. I didn't say that you were blocked 2 weeks ago. The diffs that I provided show that you were warned about making four reverts in 24 hours two weeks ago.[217][218] On 21 June you were blocked for 24 hours.[219] --AussieLegend (talk) 05:29, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

It was you who wrote above, "and even blocked for 3RR breaches in the past, as recently two weeks ago.", wasn't it? What's more, "Still you managed to find it, so all should be well" is not sufficient. Editors in good standing are to be notified of AN reports such as this when the report is about them. No exceptions. Lhb1239 (talk) 05:41, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry if what I wrote was unclear to you. I thought the diffs would make it clear, which is why I provided them. The fact is, you now obviously know about this discussion and nothing can be done about not notifying you. Elizium23 may not have realised that he should contact you, but really, you should have been looking anyway because you know the ramifications of making so many reverts in a 24 hour period. --AussieLegend (talk) 06:00, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Taunting in the above response and accompanying edit summary ("no point crying over spilt milk - better to mount a defence") noted. Lhb1239 (talk) 06:04, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

My edit summary summarises the thrust of my post, which is what it's supposed to do on a talk page. We've discussed this sort of thing previously. You really would be better off mounting a defence instead of complaining that you hadn't been notified of a discussion that you found easily. --AussieLegend (talk) 06:50, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Comments: Mar4d's edits in Afghans in Pakistan are all anti-Afghan, he's trying to make Afghan refugees living in Pakistan demonized or evil-doers by searching the internet to find only negative news about them, so that he makes them criminals and terrorists. Yet, he did not add one single positive thing about them. But in Pakistanis in Afghanistan, he's trying to make Pakistanis look good. He has some kind of anti-Afghan agenda in Wikipedia, going around labelling European porn stars as Afghans [243]. I notimated stolen images and he kept reverting my nomination and those stolen images all got deleted now.[244].--NorthernPashtun (talk) 18:09, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

For the record, I would like to make it clear that NorthernPashtun started the edit warring and is solely responsible for initiating it too. I have been editing Afghans in Pakistan with neutrality and have expanded on the "Crime" section only with sources that meet WP:RS. Admins are welcome to check my contributions and confirm this. Yet, this user has constantly been tampering with information to suit his POV, making personal attacks and has continously removed content that I add from the article without discussion. This is vandalism and a clear-cut violation of the 3RR rule. I have already made a complaint elsewhere and asked NorthernPashtun to not edit the article, while I am working on it for a while, but he clearly has not listened.

I would like admins to give me some time for me to file my own report here which goes into detail into some of the content dispute. Thanks, Mar4d (talk) 18:35, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

(edit conflict (sorry)) I checked here after being alerted by NorthernPashtun and Mar4d of the discussion at Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard#Afghans in Pakistan. See there for evidence.

• Comment. Mustihussain doesn't appear to have crossed the 3RR bright line, so this must be a generalized edit-warring report rather than a 4RR report. But surely then the reporter is also to blame? Mustihussain at least has the excuse of restoring material supported by sources. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 18:38, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

• Reply You've been involved in tag-teaming with Musti, so you're not exactly a reliable opinion. Pass a Method talk 18:42, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
  • In none of these cases has MH come near to violating 3RR and thus to needing a tag-teaming intervention, so the claim that any two users who disagree with your POV-pushing removal of excellently sourced material are tag-teaming is a rather stupid one. Sometimes, if more than one person reverts you...it's because your edit was bad. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 19:00, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

• The "excellently sourced material" you keep referring to is nothing but a couple of cherrypicked news reports where (sloppy) journalists have failed to distinguish between anti-Islam(ism) and anti-Muslim. I have also raised the question about whether "anti-Muslim" is a political ideology; the closest article we have on Wikipedia to such a phenomena would be Persecution of Muslims. —Filippusson (t.) 19:42, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Comments:
This is not a technical 3RR report, but a general edit warring one. User has been notified of edit warring before and has been blocked for such in the past, so this is not something they are unaware of. The user, who self-identifies as a Nepali citizen (and whose edit history reflects a strong pro-Nepali POV), is removing any and all reliable sources from the article that suggest that Siddhartha Gautama may not have been born present-day Nepal. The reason they give is not because it is factually inaccurate, or that the sources are unreliable, but because "Nepal is in the brink of celebrating Visit Lumbini 2012 for Buddhas celebration sake. Thousans of tourists and people from the world will be misled with sudo's information."[296] (as a note, I was not the one to introduce the information into the article) However, this conflict of interest and constant mislabeling of any editor that they disagree with as a "vandal" aside, the persistent edit warring is why this is being brought here. Despite the fact that it is known that there is a disagreement and that their reason for removing the content is not to improve Wikipedia, but to support an outside interest, they continue to edit war, showing no intention of stopping. - SudoGhost 21:08, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Magog the Ogre? Is that from World of Warcraft? 187.33.225.150 (talk) 21:22, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

In an attempt to get some input, and settle this disagreement, I have added comments to the article's talk page today, in addition to comments I left there yesterday. I will be glad to wait a few days, however, based on the article's history of a few revert wars in the article's past, I am not too optimistic that the same battles will not return at the next copy-edit. Any suggestions on how to handle this situation would be appreciated. Thanks, --Funandtrvl (talk) 19:19, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

If the IP doesn't come and discuss the issue within a half day or so, I'd just revert it. I'm normally never for revert warring, but you've done your part, and now s/he must do his.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [302]

Comments: User:TSWikis1, an SPA who only edits with regard to the subject of the article involved in this dispute, is repeatedly adding content to the article claiming that a once (somewhat) prominent transgender activist, who was interviewed on the Entertainment Tonight TV show, has since become a performer in pornographic videos. No references or sources of any type have been provided for the identification of the interviewee as the porn performer, just links documenting that the interview was broadcast. The performer uses a different name from the interviewee. After I posted a warning on TSwikis1's talk page, a modified text of the unsupported claim was added back to the article by an IP with no edit history, who I infer is TSwikis1; no other editor has made any substantive contribution to the article. Neither TSwikis1 nor the IP account have engaged in talk page discussion. For the record, I believe my removals of the disputed content fall within the BLP exception to 3RR, since there is no reliable sourcing for the identification of the interviewee as the porn performer. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 02:13, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

• I think your characterization of the dispute may be a bit inaccurate. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you are not contesting that she (he?) is a pornographic actress; you're only contesting that she was on ET.[303] Magog the Ogre (talk) 03:06, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

  • What I'm contesting is that the person who appeared on ET became a porn performer. That's the unsourced claim. "Jacki" appeared on ET, and is a real, identifiable person. "Amy" is a porn performer for whom we have no reliable biographical information. Nothing supports the claim that Jacki changed their name to Amy and went into porn. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 03:16, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

• User Hullabaloo Wolfawitz has a frivolous delete dispute and is trying to win his argument, which is why s/he keeps hounding my changes and it is coming down to harassment. Porn Actors and Non porn actors all use stage names in their performances. I have been in contact with the performer and she has granted me permission to use her real name on the article. Otherwise, it would not of been posted at all. The person that the article is about is identified by non stage name and a photo on the source. In the actor's biography on her website and youtube secondary source, she notes being Jackie in the video and it is plain to see because the video and the source photo included clearly identify Jackie as Amy Daly. She also has photos of her on the entertainment tonight set on her website. This article has been thoroughly researched as I am a huge follower of the transsexual pornography industry. This user continues to harass this article, removing whole chunks of the persons life prior to the porn industry, which were all sourced as well, but s/he removed it all and did not tell you about that part. In his/her delete request, there are users asking her/him to stop harassing newer members, which is evidence that this is the sort of thing that he likes to do. I would like to request that wolfawitz is blocked from further edits to this article as s/he is vandalizing to get the article deleted. I am going to revert his vandalism and request action be taken to his account due to the repeated reverts of valid content and sources. I would like to continue to update these transgender performers for better accuracy, as I am a fan of both porn and wikipedia, but this user will make it impossible for me to do if I am being continually harassed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TSWikis1 (talk • contribs) 16:57, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

• I've replied to Magog on my talk page (User_talk:Edgar181#Tamara_Toumanova_protection) giving my reasoning for my admin actions. Unfortunately, I've got only a few minutes before I'll be away from the computer at least until tomorrow. So I'm going to apologize and let another admin proceed as he or she sees fit. -- Ed (Edgar181) 19:09, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

• OK. I may have been out of order here. Is it considered edit warring, when one reverts apparent vandalism, e.g. removal of cited references? Anyway, it is quite obvious that user 85.141.14.195, now blocked, has been using several IP accounts, e.g. 176.14.208.219 and 176.14.208.162, making exactly or almost exactly the same edits. The user reporting me, Gazifikator, supports the Armenian cause in this particular case, citing the same sources as 85.141.14.195. [330] [331] I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I must question Gazifikator's neutrality on this topic. Best regards, Antique Rose — Drop me a line 20:22, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Maybe I'm not neutral despite I tried [332] and explained my view at talk, but I never participated at this editwarring like Rose done. Gazifikator (talk) 03:48, 18 November 2011 (UTC) 03:44, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

It wasn't edit-warring, it was fighting vandalism. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 03:50, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

• Result: User:Edgar181 has semiprotected the article and blocked 85.141.14.195 (talk · contribs). He has suggested that another admin take over closing this case since he is temporarily away. Using a fluctuating IP to conduct a campaign of reverts certainly violates WP:SOCK, so the sanctions on the IP appear correct. Since this is a dispute related to nationality (Georgian vs. Armenian descent) Magog's ARBAA notices for both the IP and Antique Rose appear logical. User:Antique Rose did break 3RR while reverting the sock-IP, but it is a stretch to want to apply a block to her at this time. The IP's actions (which include removing references supporting the other side) wander into vandal territory. This dispute has been running a long time. At first glance the arguments for an Armenian connection seem remote (e.g. descent from a family who were said to have been Armenian in the 12th century) and editors have put a lot of Russian-language information on the talk page with no translation. Nonetheless the subject's ethnicity is not for admins to decide. I recommend that the RfC at Talk:Tamara Toumanova#RfC note be finished and be closed by an admin if necessary. If anyone believes that Antique Rose has been socking they should open an SPI. Antique Rose is warned against any further edit warring. EdJohnston (talk) 13:49, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Second time this week that I keep getting reverted by an IP on the same article. --Funandtrvl (talk) 21:49, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

You do realize that you're just as at fault with edit-warring here, right? (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 21:53, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

No, I disagree. See my 3RR report at the top of this page, showing that each time, I have requested responses from the IPs, I have described my copy-edits in detail in both my edit summaries and the article's talk page. Also, if you read the Talk:Itinerant, there have been revert wars before by several IPs, with the IPs personally attacking the registered editors. Also, please note that if one does not revert the IPs edit, then what you are suggesting is a Catch-22. The 1st 3RR that I reported this week, I waited several days, and the first IP disappeared, and note, nothing was done essentially. The behavior of these IPs is very disruptive, and I believe, not in good faith, since both IPs have refused to discuss why they keep reverting the article. --Funandtrvl (talk) 22:04, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

... and you know that what you said above is not an excuse for edit-warring, right? It's WP:BRD, not WP:BRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBRBR. WP:DR is there for a reason (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 00:12, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Even if one believes that it is not an excuse for edit warring, I'm not sure I understand what you mean that BRD would apply to this case, as the IPs obviously did not wish to discuss. (see IPs talk pages, there are no responses from them.) And how would DR help in this case, when there is no active discussion from the other editors? I am not optimistic that when the article is un-protected next week, that this same cycle would not start again, and I would appreciate some input on what to do. --Funandtrvl (talk) 00:33, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

High edit account user very active in Abortion area. Knows the drill. Long block log. Clear edit warring in violation of Abortion 1RR. Their previous block was for 3 months, reduced to 1 month.– Lionel ^(talk) 23:05, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

He is edit warring against two other editors (myself included).– Lionel ^(talk) 23:53, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

I'm the one who put the 1RR notice on the article's talk page, so of course I am aware of restrictions. The above diffs do not show a violation of 1RR as they are 24:01 apart rather than within 24 hours. I have been involved in improving the article with more scholarly opinions and I have been actively working toward consensus on the talk page. Right before making the second edit shown above, I submitted this detailed argument on the talk page. I am not revert warring, I am working toward improving the article and gaining consensus. Binksternet (talk) 23:14, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

1 minute past the cutoff is gaming the system. A person whose last block was for 3 months in duration and who just came off a 6 month 1RR restriction should do more talking and less edit warring. – Lionel ^(talk) 23:17, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

If you were truly "working toward consensus" you would've waited for someone, anyone to respond to your "detailed argument" before imposing your will and POV on the article. This "detailed argument" is nothing more than a cover to hide behind to avoid a block for 1RR. – Lionel ^(talk) 23:48, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

One post on the talk page without any input from anyone else, and then proceeding to revert against 2 other editors is not consensus. It is the out of control behavior of a POV edit warrior.– Lionel ^(talk) 23:53, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

With all the past friction between you and me, Lionelt, you are perhaps not the most neutral observer here. You would celebrate me being blocked, I'm sure. The article Maafa 21 is a tiny blip of a thing, orphaned and terribly faulty. I'm helping improve it, as you can see. Maybe you can help, too. Binksternet (talk) 00:45, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm not seeing a big problem here. Not a 1RR violation, and talk page discussion of the disagreement is ongoing. If he wasn't discussing it, I'd say block him, but with discussion no. Calling 2 reverts in >24 hours "out of control behavior of a POV edit warrior" is just a wee bit hyperbolic. Falcon8765 ^(TALK) 00:51, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Falcon don't be taken in. I'm sorry: 1 minute past 24 hrs is gaming the system and qualifies as 1RR. The so-called "discussion" is token at best. – Lionel ^(talk) 01:04, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Normally, I would be inclined to agree. However, combined with discussion and the hyperbole here, I don't think he should be blocked for it. "Token" discussion or not, discussion is occuring. Falcon8765 ^(TALK) 01:07, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

(ec) "not the most neutral observer"? How neutral were you when you reported Knispel in the above thread? How many neutral editors make reports here? 1 percent? Give me a break. This is about you reverting an editor, making a token post at talk, and immediately going back to the article and reverting a second editor. How can anyone possibly improve the article with your disruption? Stop edit warring. Stop disrupting. Than we'll see improvement. Your POV is not the right POV.– Lionel ^(talk) 01:00, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Blocked – for a period of 1 week This is this user's sixth block in a year and a half, and they clearly have a long history of edit warring (apparently with their most recent 1RR restriction expiring in July). They are familiar with the article's sanctions, and presumably what 1RR entails, having agreed to self-imposed 1RR restrictions multiple times in the past. What's arguably worst of all, though, is the blatant WP:GAMING to avoid 1RR by waiting one minute past the 24-hour time slot, which they've actually tried to defend (in addition to snidely acknowledging it here). WP:3RR clearly states that any appearance of gaming the system like that is likely to be treated as a violation. I'm taking into account that their last block was nearly a year ago (which I'll assume is a result of good behavior overall rather than successfully gaming the system), but future edit warring and/or gaming will probably result in longer blocks again.

IP has edit warred with at least 2 IPs in the l;ast 24 hrs to insert uncited information into several articles, with numerous warnings to stop thieir disruptive behavior.Heiro 07:35, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Now continuing the same edits as this IP 187.101.19.219. Maybe a range block would be more effect than block, as this user seems to IP hop alot.Heiro 07:35, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

I don't think blocking will have much use. I requested semi-protection. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 09:11, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

He responded to my edit war notice with the following: [365]. To be completely honest, I should include the diffs of my own contributions to this war:

• From before this user's first block: [366] [367] [368]

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: Talk:Tribe of Dan additions Talk:Tribe of Dan reliable sources

Comments:
The editor in question professed a devout religion historically at odds with this tribe and its history, indicating a bias in the edits. A neutral editor is needed to approve the edits attempting to be made.

Wheres Dan (talk) 16:56, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

• No violation In addition, you would be far better off actually amending your own editing, understanding reliable sources, and apparently responding at WP:ANI - this also looks like a tit-for-tat filing, which never goes well (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 17:03, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

(edit conflict)I have reverted no more than you have, I have yet to violate 3rr, and you are using unreliable sources, spreading outdated fringe material, failing to assume good faith, and have made various personal attacks (which lead to your last block). Since when are Baptists historically at odds with the tribe of Dan? The Baptist church is only a few centuries old, and the Tribe of Dan has been lost for how many thousand years? What's more, most Christians (except Marcion) historically saw the Israelites as their forebearers. I'm no longer going to be nice about it: Wheres Dan, you are completely useless to this site and should be blocked. Multiple editors over at WP:ANI agree, and think you should be banned or are close to another ban. The main thing we're waiting on is an uninvolved editor, who you thankfully will be attracting with this report. Ian.thomson (talk) 17:10, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
