Comments:

Apologies, this was in part due to my clumsiness. I've only just noticed that I accidentally rolled back two edits, my intention only being to revert the second. (In fact I'd effectively noted on Andrej N. B.'s talk page that the first of these two edits may be supportable, whilst indicating why another user may have reverted it the first time he (Andrej) had made it.) My edit summary identification as vandalous, intended for the second edit, was based on the repetition of the edit summary "See discussion page", which I had earlier queried as being a misrepresentation of that talk page and thus it's repetition as disruptive. If, as indicated, I'm incorrect to regard this as vandalism, I apologise and will take heed. Mutt Lunker (talk) 23:04, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
Not a big deal, I've done that before myself; if that happens, make a dummy edit and say in the edit summary that you hit the wrong button. That will help eliminate confusion. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 01:42, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Comments:

This is about the continuation of long-term edit warring at Bose Corporation, with Phoenix79 constantly removing well-cited, accurate but negative information about the company. A discussion is underway at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard#Bose Corporation, with reversion diffs going back six years. The most recent examples of edit warring are listed above. Note that Phoenix79's revert #4 followed 12 hours after he was warned about edit warring, and after he took part in the discussion at COIN and the article talk page. He was fully aware that this reversion would be contentious.

At COIN, removing lawsuit information was identified as one of the major edit warring focuses of Phoenix79. Here are lawsuit-removal diffs going back five years:

  • [29] 21:58, March 28, 2007 (Removal of Bose lawsuit against Consumer Reports)
  • [30] 02:19, March 29, 2007 (Removal of Bose lawsuit against Consumer Reports)
  • [31] 02:21, May 4, 2007 (Removal of Bose's "reputation for litigiousness", cited to Funding Universe)
  • [32] 21:49, July 31, 2007 (Removal of Bose lawsuit against CEDIA)
  • [33] 08:50, September 9, 2007 (Removal of the word "unsuccessfully" in describing a Bose lawsuit)
  • [34] 09:31, October 15, 2007 (Removal of Bose lawsuit against CEDIA)
  • [35] 07:58, February 7, 2009 (Removal of Bose lawsuit against The Enquirer)
  • [36] 05:14, October 4, 2009 (Removal of information about reviewers who have a "fear of [Bose] lawsuits")
  • [37] 01:36, December 29, 2011 (Removal of Bose lawsuit against CEDIA)
  • [38] 06:10, December 31, 2011 (Removal of Bose lawsuit against CEDIA)
  • [39] 03:44, January 1, 2012 (Removal of the word "litigious", cited to Digital Trends. Removal of Bose lawsuit against CEDIA and Eforcity)
  • [40] 05:18, January 2, 2012 (Removal of the word "litigious". Removal of Bose lawsuit against Thiel, Harman, QSC, CEDIA and Eforcity)

This editor must be made to understand that lawsuit information is an important element of the article about the corporation. Phoenix79 must stop his removals and long-term edit warring. Binksternet (talk) 14:20, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

  • Cleaver post the edit war template and then distract me with the COI template. No I didnt even see your comment there and was unaware that you even replied to me. If I did I would have responded to it. Frankly I have been trying to start a conversion with little success on the talk page for a while and even posted this 07:13, 16 March 2012. The conversation we were having was about something different, and I have only had 3 edits btw 08:57, 16 March 2012‎ 14:17, 15 March 2012 13:09, 13 March 2012 you cant say I violated 3RR while I was editing as another user I dont even know added a template 10:37, 13 March 2012 then say I violated 3RR. That is just showing Bad faith. As for the other ones you cant bring up addition that violate WP:V and include that here! -- Phoenix (talk) 15:43, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
I am not trying to prove that you violated 3RR, I am trying to prove that you have been edit-warring over a long period of time, which you have. Regarding March 13, your two edits were five hours apart, so of course they are considered separately. Binksternet (talk) 15:52, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
It seems that the WP:COIN discussion is not going to resolve this. A better idea could be a WP:Request for comment at Talk:Bose Corporation. This would require someone to propose how the lawsuit issues ought to be mentioned in the article. EdJohnston (talk) 16:07, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
That's a good idea (smacks forehead), and I have implemented the first step with an RfC about one aspect of the issue. Binksternet (talk) 19:25, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

George Ho, I have made 3 reverts, not four. You're now wasting other people's time. GSorbyPing 00:19, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Page protected You can, perhaps, try to discuss the issue on the article's talk page and persuade the other editors that your position is the correct one. Reverting back and forth and having an "edit summary" argument is a sure way for several editors to get blocked, even without a 3RR violation I've protected the article for the weekend to encourage a discussion. If you come to a conclusion before then, please let me know or request an unprotect at WP:RFPP. Kuru (talk) 00:45, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
I'm not sure what is unnecessary about removing these images. The list entry does not need these. These images were deleted a few years back - when the subject was merged to a list. You opened an unnecessary deletion review, instead of doing to REFUND. Fastily asked why you did so on your talk page. The strange thing is - upon their restoration - you nominated them for deletion. These actions do confuse me. What is more worrying, is the fact you have added these images to the list - even though you have nominated them for deletion. If you believe they should be deleted, why waste time adding them to the list? You seem stuck on adding them back to the list, reverting those who have clearly stated they hold no purpose to the project. It is quite clear that there was a consensus forming here and despite this fact, you still added them.
I do not even see how GSorby broke 3r either - when he was following consensus and did not surpass three reverts. Which is why you have not provided difference above - because there are only three - not four. You also seem to think this is personal - even claiming that you are the wikiproject's "worst enemy". Taking all this into account, I can only see this as an attempt by you to cause a drama. We as a group, on the wikiproject, and I think this is fair to say, sometimes we do not all agree on a subject matter from the start.

You have had numerous warnings about not following the rules, and as a result you were blocked from editing.

Comments: I have been working arduously to turn the Pisco Sour article into a GA-class article.

As the diffs above show, User:Selecciones de la Vida has deleted several of my improvements and claims that I am the one that is deleting "reliable sources". However, it is obvious that I am the one who has done improvements to the article. I have warned the user both on his talk page and the article's talk page that his behavior is disruptive per WP:POINT, and asked him to follow WP:BRD to discuss changes in the article. He did not listen.

  • Therefore, I request the following:
  1. Administrator to restore article to my last improvement: [86]
  2. Administrator to temporarily block Selecciones de la Vida for edit warring.
  3. Administrator to not block me as I have taken the correct (and even more) steps to prevent an edit war.
  4. Administrator to ask Selecciones de la Vida to submit case to arbitration if he desires to make any major changes; or at least get a third opinion (or...at least discuss it in the talk page).
  5. Administrator to temporarily protect the page to my last version which (as demonstrated above) was a major improvement to the article.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message. Regards.--MarshalN20 | Talk 05:48, 17 March 2012 (UTC)



  • To help out the administrator, I recently restored my text and included the reference to the "Pisco Sour" yatch which the other user claimed I was deleting on purpose (I had not seen it before).

This user has accused me of socketpuppetry and I have responded to his case, and though the investigation is still in the process he tried to justify his actions by reverting my contribution as well other contributors, who contributed before me, to a much earlier revision. This is an unfair revision and completely unjustified especially since his summary was a personal attack on me when he or she should of dealt with their problems through my talk page.

*Comment from a mostly uninvolved editor (I haven't actively edited the page for months, but keep a general eye on the talk page). This user seems to be leading the charge in a series of edit wars.

SchmuckyTheCat reverts whatever I edit for no reason.[101] For this particular talk page, he keeps deleting the evidence that I submitted at 15:25, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[102] because (from what I guess) it contradicts his position.

This is not a 3RR violation, but intervention is clearly needed because Fama Clamosa explicitly refuses discussion[111][112]

About two months ago, I merged about ten articles into one. Fama Clamosa is now reverting my redirects. I initially forgot to redirect Abductor pollicis longus muscle and so I completed it recently. I think because of this he saw it as easier to attack, but he is now reverting redirects on nine articles (listed here), has even blanked the recipient article without stating a reason [113], and has falsely reported me for vandalism[114]. He has not posted any discussion with his latest round of reverts.--Taylornate (talk) 00:11, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

How is that supposed to work if he refuses to communicate? Don't most edit wars involve a dispute of some kind? I'm confused.--Taylornate (talk) 14:48, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
I don't see any refusal to discuss. I see two people vehemently disagreeing on the talk page (you pointing to what you claim is a consensus on another talk page, which does not appear to be strong consensus to me). Try WP:RFC first, or try WP:M if that fails; my guess is you two can come to an agreement. Magog the Ogre (talk) 17:59, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
I did dispute this with another user but Fama Clamosa explicitly refused to participate and he is the one reverting now. I thought I gave two diffs showing his refusal, but it looks like I made a mistake on one of them. Here they are again:[115][116]--Taylornate (talk) 19:01, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
Please open an RFC or try mediation. Your consensus is not as elusive as you might think: I see at least one other editor who has reverted you: User:Arcadian. Magog the Ogre (talk) 01:31, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
RFC and mediation are not applicable if both sides aren't willing to participate. Arcadian is refusing to discuss as well, even marking his reverts as minor, and Fama Clamosa is calling me a vandal in edit summaries. If this is not an edit war, what is?--Taylornate (talk) 01:48, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
For quick context, see this. Taylornate is fighting three different editors here, and has already been instructed that he needs to review Wikipedia:Merging, both before he started this process and after. --Arcadian (talk) 01:51, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
I am familiar with Wikipedia:Merging, my merge was in-line with it, and I've referenced it multiple times in the course of discussion that you are ignoring. The only point relevant to this board is that the editors that disagree with my merge are reverting while refusing to discuss. I won't list here the editors that agree with me because it's irrelevant.--Taylornate (talk) 02:12, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
Furthermore, I am not comfortable your above use of the word instructed. Do you feel you are in a position to issue instructions to me rather than discuss as a peer?--Taylornate (talk) 02:32, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Fama Clamosa continues to revert[117] and continues to explicitly refuse discussion[118].--Taylornate (talk) 21:25, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

  • Both editors blocked – for a period of 24 hours Magog the Ogre (talk) 22:44, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
    • Please take a closer look at the history pages before re-reverting an admin. There is one user that is trying to redirect pages out of existence, and three users (including an admin) trying to stop the destruction of information by restoring the individual muscle pages. If Taylornate really wants to engage in a radical new approach to medical content, s/he would need to generate a far greater consensus before doing so. To the degree that a consensus exists, it is for the preservation of the anatomic content.--Arcadian (talk) 01:11, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
      • Whether or not the merge should have taken place, and support for or against it, is irrelevant to this board. What is relevant is that even after a block Arcadian continues to revert, to mark the reverts as minor, to refuse to discuss, and believing that as an administrator he has special status in this dispute.--Taylornate (talk) 08:37, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
        • A few things to note here: 1) Revert warring isn't the proper answer in any case, 2) There is clearly no consensus for the merge- Taylornate is unfortunately just wrong about this - and I note he still hasn't filed an RFC or mediation case and 3) being an administrator doesn't give someone extra clout in a dispute, and using the automatic rollback tool to revert war while engaging in an absolute bare minimum of discussion is terribly unacceptable - unacceptable to the extent that if it continues, he will be on the hook for sanctions according to the last paragraph in the lede of WP:ROLLBACK (I don't say this to shame or threaten him, more as a genuine warning). Magog the Ogre (talk) 20:00, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
          • RFC or mediation is obviously the next step, but the first step is getting the opposition to participate in discussion. If they refuse to communicate at all then RFC/mediation is pointless. Anyway, that's my interpretation of it. If you can point out specifically how it could be useful in this situation then I will file.--Taylornate (talk) 20:40, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

I am reopening this case, archived here, because Fama Clamosa is now disrupting the RFC by putting strikethrough tags around it.[119][120] The most recent occurrence[121] was after a very specific warning.[122]--Taylornate (talk) 20:53, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Dmcq at Wikipedia:Fringe_theories/Noticeboard/Header (result: Page protected)[edit]

Slow editwar by a user wanting to unilaterally change noticeboard rules, without waiting for consensus to emerge. Not 3RR, but persistent over several days. 86.** IP (talk) 23:51, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Page protected Rjd0060 (talk) 23:59, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
Full protection? Have you actually checked the edits? It was last touched two days ago, the change I put in was suggested by somebody else at the noticeboard and the person coming here reverted the change without discussion and didn't leave a reason and didn't comment on the discussion on the noticeboard and still doesn't. The discussion is at Wikipedia:Fringe_theories/Noticeboard#Have_put_a_bit_in_the_header_about_informing_interested_editors. The only comment the OP put there was in this last comment I put there and you can see my response too:
By the way I also get the impression that some of the people are here just to help fringe products or aid industry by ensuring Wikipedia does not have an article about them giving a fairly neutral perspective by ensuring the articles are deleted or made unreadable. Don't you ever wonder if you are being used in that way? Dmcq (talk) 22:02, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
I really don't think that attacking other users helps your case in the least. 86.** IP (talk) 23:56, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
How about actually giving a reason for your reversion? And who am I attacking that you'd like to defend? Dmcq (talk) 00:06, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
My point at that noticeboard is that I think it is malfunctioning, the above is not the worst way but just an additional worry about it. I have been met by IDONTLIKEIT about a proposal that editors coming there consider placing a note about a discussion on the talk page of the article being discussed but that doing that is not mandatory. I can see that sometimes people want a quiet discussion for advice on a noticeboard but unfortunately I think this one goes in for mobbing in AfDs and other group activities after discussion without the interested editors knowing anything before an AfD is placed. The problem is that it is hard to change peoples minds after they have come to a decision and without editors who know something about an article an informed discussion can go badly wrong. I believe a bit of extra encouragement to openness might get the noticeboard back to working a bit better. Dmcq (talk) 00:41, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
Super. This sounds like an excellent conversation to be having on the talk page of the page in question. Once you have developed a consensus for your changes, you can request unprotection. Kuru (talk) 00:49, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
I object to an accusation of edit warring being upheld against me on the basis of that evidence. Dmcq (talk) 02:16, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

NECRATSpeak to me 02:45, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

  • Comment I started watching this article after I noticed that it is an unwatched but frequently target of disruption. The real lame war started in August 2011 when multiples IPs started to edit-war about a single word "cover's vs coverage" 76.92.254.119 (talk · contribs) (who, given the numbers is the same person) and 174.55.170.180 (talk · contribs). Multiples sources (reliables or not) gave that the word "cover's" is what was screened. The edit-war stopped along with this disruptive edit (being reverted later), but the edit-warring resumed again in February. Necrat intelligently removed the text, as it is irrelevant, unsourced, and has no encyclopedic value; but 76.97 is the only person that has constantly been consantly in this, s/he has started to abuse on this triviality, taken the decision to violate multiple polices and guidelines, even when he has been told to discuss this first.

Whether one or another thing happened, this should be provable with sourcing, and right now there is only opinion. The IP is not engaging in discussion, and that's certainly not good.

ERIDU_DREAMING has been blocked twice lately for edit-warring on this article. The most recent report may be found here. The 23:50 edit is by a dynamic IP, but appears to be the same editor. TFD (talk) 00:30, 22 March 2012 (UTC)


My old friend THE FOUR DEUCES has curiously omitted a few facts.

The article in question has been under dispute for some time. The Four Deuces believes that to be "Right-Wing" is to be an extremist. Indeed he believes that to be Right-Wing is to be a Fascist. He made a determined attempt to eliminate my contributions to the talkpage when I pointed out that Right-Wing is not reducible to Fascism. Eventually it had to go to an independent adjudication. THE FOUR DEUCES was ruled against by the independent editor. As far as I am aware he has not changed his mind. His latest comment on the talkpage is "Other than extremists, few people self-identify as right-wing since the end of the Second World War. Most right-parties went out of existence at that time." Draw your own conclusions.

LITTLE JERRY believes that it is wrong to claim that people who believe in a free society can be Right-Wing. He got into disputes with various editors because he kept deleting any inclusion of Classical Liberalism on the Right. He was reported (not by me) for constantly reverting the Right-Wing page.

An extensive discussion took place between several editors. The Right-Wing page went through many versions. At last it settled on a consensus. No sign of LITTLE JERRY. Then he turns up tonight and reverts every single one of the carefully arrived at compromises. Yes, you guessed it, he deleted references Classical Liberalism. Most of these were not made by me I should add, but by another editor. He did this with no discussion.

I reverted his vandalism twice. I then left it.

To my surprise my old friend THE FOUR DEUCES then reverted LITTLE JERRY's vandalism. To no avail. LITTLE JERRY was determined to delete all the bits of the Wikipedia entry he did not agree with, this time on the grounds that the lead was "too long". He was obsessed with deleting anything which linked the Right with Classical Liberalism. I reduced to the lead to half of its size, but he continued to revert. He then pursued a new strategy. He claimed that my reversions had not been discussed, forgetting that none of his reversions had been discussed, and the reversions I made were back to the text which was the product of long discussions amongst several editors on the talkpage.

At this point THE FOUR DEUCES jumps in and reports me for disruption. Not LITTLE JERRY you notice, but me for reverting the reversions by LITTLE JERRY.

How many reversions did LITTLE JERRY make? I count 13 within the space of a few hours. Have a look for yourself. Yet no mention of this by THE FOUR DEUCES. No mention that I was reverting the text back back to a consensus, no mention that in accordance with the claim (by LITTLE JERRY) that the lead was too long, I had reduced the lead in my edits by approximately 50%.

In order to explain a point in the talkpage I quoted the conservative writer Dinesh D'Souza. He was explaining why he is a Classical Liberal. As it happens, here is what he says later in the same book:

"Classical Liberals believe in free speech because they are confident that, in a clash between truth and error, truth will prevail. The left does not believe in free speech. Of course the leftists are happy to invoke the principle of free speech when one of their own guys is being threatened. Once they are in power, however, leftists are perfectly comfortable with suppressing the views of those they abhor. The leftist principle was stated by Herbert Marcuse in the 1960's: No free speech for "fascists"!'

No free speech for fascists. It is evident that THE FOUR DEUCES believes that Right Wing = Fascist and therefore he has made every effort to disrupt this article. To no avail. I have no idea if LITTLE JERRY thinks that Right-Wing = Fascist, but it is clear that he strongly objects to the notion that Right-Wing has anything to do with free societies. He therefore decided to revert the Right-Wing entry 13 times in the space of a few hours!

By responding to this vandalism THE FOUR DEUCES eagerly brings, me, here, again, for edit warring. Was it me that reverted the consensus? No. Was it me that did the 13 reverts. No. Has THE FOUR DEUCES even mentioned LITTLE JERRY? No. I wonder why?

Comments:

  • This is a borderline VAND (rejected at WP:AIV) and edit warring/3RR, so WP:AIV relisted here
  • From editors pattern of editing, edits have been considered as vandalism by other editors, and by automated tools. I do not (they are sometimes vandalism/sometime edit warring). My warning to them "...but do think you are engaged in an edit war, and as such will be reported and blocked. Your comments indicate you do not wish to engage with other editors, or heed your last warning (even though IMHO given for the wrong reasons)"

I semi-violated 3RR myself by citing WP:BLP, but have refrained from further reverting past that BLP citation. There seems to be some weird pro- or anti-Jewish bias here (I can't even tell which, from just reading the talk page comments!) Edit: Not sure there is actually any bias here, just the user disagreeing with other editors past reason.

Comments:
User has edit warred (5 reverts in the last three days, 3 in the last 24 hours) to insert unnecessary unsigned text to edits made by User:SchmuckyTheCat that added inline tags to comments made by a blocked sockpuppet. He was asked not to do this by two different editors (myself and Schmucky) but has persisted. On some occasions he has mixed in token additions to try to prevent his edits from being outright reverted. I took this into account when removing the template text the first time but he has continued to restore it, again adding token text to prevent a direct revert.

Comments:
The dates involved in this item do not violate 3RR but are edit warring. This archive was created by a vandal IP address, who moved discussion topics from the main page and then subsequently altered them. Of note, a number of comments of blocked sockpuppets had been removed from the original conversation by various editors but were inappropriately restored by the IP when he moved content to the archive. This was corrected by User:Shrigley, but Jeffrey has repeatedly tried to restore the page to the vandalised state left by the IP editor. He was asked not to do this by two different editors (myself and Shrigley) but has persisted.

This user has been blocked previously for disruptively altering talk pages while under an IP address (talk page, block log), and later registered an account when the 202.189.98.* range was blocked for repeated disruptive behaviour.

I no longer have any opinion regarding the unsigned tags in Talk:Demographics of Greater China. The problem was that Null and SchmuckyTheCat insist to delete my comment at 15:03, 22 March 2012, 07:22, 20 March 2012 and 15:03, 22 March 2012, and to restore the misplaced notification near the bottom of the page.[231][232][233][234][235][236] (Please treat this as a counter-report if it's procedurally appropriate to do so. And if not please advise if I should submit a separate report.)

As for Naming conventions (Chinese)/Archive 13, It's dishonest that NULL only submitted part of the story, the part that is in his benefits. From what I read in the edit history, from 23:40 20 January 2012 onwards some editors insisted to delete 15 kilobytes of comments from Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Chinese), including comments that were irrelevant to the controversial straw poll on NC-TW. Wasn't that vandalism? Vandalism isn't defined by whether or not the editor has a Wikipedia account. It's determined by the actual content of the edit. Jeffrey (202.189.98.142) (talk) 08:25, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

I have no intention of involving myself in a dispute on this page, however there is evidence to counter Jeffrey's response. The tags were first removed by me here and his comments restored in full in the very next diff here. Jeffrey then made this edit, restoring the removed material again. Regarding the archive, the IP editor removed 123,779 bytes of discussion from the talk page in this diff, then added 139,339 bytes to the archive over the course of 9 edits, 8 of which are in this collective diff. The difference between 139,339 and 123,779 is 15 kilobytes. That's text that was not on the talk page when it was removed but was added to the archive by the IP editor after the fact. Shrigley removed this vandalism in his edit and Jeffrey has edit-warred to restore it. NULL talk

  • Request – Is there any chance we can reduce this block to a 12 hour ban? This is the first time I've seen Armbrust violate 3RR like this, so 48 hours seems a bit excessive for an editor where this is out of character. The main reason I ask is that we have a major snooker tournament starting tomorrow (2012 China Open (snooker)) and Armbrust is to all intents and purposes the project co-ordinator so we could really do with him in action. The template dispute got out of hand, and BOTH editors should have brought it to the project page before it got out of hand like that. Everyone gets hot-headed from time to time and does something they shouldn't, but 12 hours would give everyone time to cool down. Betty Logan (talk) 22:22, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

This is a recurrent issue in the article, and has been debated before among editors and reached consensus. This user insisted through reverts to impose his acts without giving time to discuss it at the talk page. I warned the 3RR through edit summary and then on his talkpage, which he replied with this not civil but "kindly" 'fuck off' [304] and posting the same warning template to me with the same undertext [305], which I see as a kind of provocation (given that I warned him of 3RR, I know the rules and don't need to be warned that way). With that attitude and noting that he reverted a 4th time with a challenging edit summary, I don't think this user is open to go the BRD cycle in a civil manner. pmt7ar (talk) 22:35, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

  • Comment: I see this as a case of long-term warring. The user has made six reverts over the last few days against a variety of editors, and has stated "I will continue to revert the article until you explain to me why that is an unacceptable compromise outcome." (He wants to make a possibly-shocking image less prominent in the article). It does not appear that anyone agrees with him. Scuttlest might have thought he was enforcing some community norm, but I could not find a relevant policy page that would excuse his reverts. Hentai is a sexually-explicit form. The picture in dispute was actually nominated in 2011 as a featured picture candidate, but it did not succeed, and there was sentiment that it ought not to appear on the main page of Wikipedia. Nobody in that debate said that the image should not exist on Wikipedia, and in fact it appears in the German, French, Italian and other Wikipedias. I could not find any discussions about the Hentai page itself on admin boards. Unless an actual norm can be cited that would prevail over the edit warring policy, it seems to me that the consensus on the talk page should decide the matter. EdJohnston (talk) 23:18, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
I am not removing any content from the article, and it is inaccurate for you to characterize me as advocating such. The article in question has a Japanese title that does not mean anything to an English speaker who is not already familiar with the subject, so there is a high probability that an unwary searcher will be unwillingly exposed to the pornographic image. Since the Wikimedia Foundation has voted to implement a way to hide such images from those who do not opt-in to view them, it is obviously the position of Wikipedia that such images are a legitimate cause for offense among wiki users and should not be exposed to individuals without their consent. I am only the latest in a very, very long line of people who have objected to the image in the past (shown on the talk history) and the fact that more people who like the image where it is are paying attention to the article at this moment in time does not mean that consensus rests with the unwilling-porn-forcers. Rather, if you look at the sum posts on the talk page, you'll find that more people would like the image to not be on the wiki at all, but their being spaced out chronologically has prevented them from forming a consensus at any one point in time.
My compromise solution does not reduce the informational value of the article in any way, and it fulfills the wikipolicy against GRATUITOUS OFFENSIVENESS and SHOCK VALUE. Pmt is a troublesome zealot with no ability to compromise, and his reporting me here is symptomatic of his narrow-minded obstinacy. Wikipedia is not run for the benefit of Japanese pornography enthusiasts, it is a public resource which should have the greatest possible utility to the general public; I don't think that keeping hardcore pornography out of immediate view, but still a scroll's distance away for the interested, is too much a concession to ask for those adverse to adverse porn viewing. The article as it stands is the wiki equivalent of a Rickroll or Goatse. Scuttlest (talk) 03:40, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
And, incidentally, I have been perfectly civil on the talk page. If Pmt doesn't feel like engaging me in a rational discussion, it's because he knows he doesn't have a leg to stand on. Scuttlest (talk) 03:47, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
If you aren't going to propose some way of finding a consensus you will accept, you'll most likely be blocked for edit warring. EdJohnston (talk) 04:14, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
I don't know if you've actually read the discussion, but I've already proposed a compromise, while Pmt hasn't budged an inch from his position. I guess in my state of noobish ignorance, I don't know how much more ground wikipolicy says I have to give to porn enthusiasts before I'm playing within your rules. Could you please clarify? Scuttlest (talk) 04:38, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
So you come with a position and I must (quote) "*do* in fact have to reach a compromise" with you? I should compromise with you? Why don't you with me? Other quote: "(...) is exactly *why* you do have to work with me to reach a conclusion". With "you"? This is not how consensus is made and we have to wait for other editors, we won't solve this just two. There are regular editors who have contributed greatly to the article and other watchers that can contribute too. And I remind you that please be civil, "selfish", "hypocritical", "inane and specious", "adverse to adverse porn viewing", "fuck off" and the challenging warnings/edit summaries. Assume good faith, we are to improve articles, no to manifest our personal or moral beliefs. pmt7ar (talk) 05:09, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

You do, in fact, have to reach a consensus that includes me, per BRD. It's just a fact. I have been making an active effort to compromise with you; for the benefit of whose opinion did I introduce a compromise at all? Yours, of course! "Adverse to porn viewing" is by no means impolite; you are being entirely too sensitive - the image is PORNOGRAPHY and there are many people who are adverse to viewing it. The point I referred to as "inane and specious" was in fact inane and specious, and I am sorry to hear that you are unable to distinguish between what I think of your arguments and what I think of you as an individual.

As for telling you to fuck off, I admit that that was rude and I apologize. Scuttlest (talk) 05:19, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Scuttlest, if you will state here that you will wait for a consensus to support you before reverting again, this complaint can be closed with no action. Simply believing you are right is not enough to justify continued war. See WP:Dispute resolution for other options you might pursue. Until you can find others to agree with you, the article will probably have to stay the way the majority prefers it to be. EdJohnston (talk) 14:33, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
Funny thing is, if you look at the page history, Niabot and Pmt have been defending this image and its position in the article for months against a variety of people who have had the bad luck to not all be logged in at the same time. So, I guess consensus is more about how persistent an individual editor is in maintaining his position than the actual beliefs of the Wiki-using community. The lesson I've learned today is that it's more important to know how to game this system than to actually provide a useful resource to the public, so I'll play your game. Scuttlest (talk) 16:50, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
In case that wasn't clear enough: I will wait for additional wiki users to comment before forcing the same revert, though I will continue to propose alternatives. Scuttlest (talk) 16:55, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Result: Warned. I'm still not satisfied with this user's answer (he wouldn't reply yes or no as to whether he would wait for consensus before reverting again). Nonetheless this is closed with a warning that any further change for which consensus was not obtained may lead to a block. EdJohnston (talk) 20:34, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

How can I take your apology for your reply on my warning when you later title it calling me an "porn enthusiast" (and I don't know if I should take nationality mention as something relevant)? [306].

As explained on the talk page of the article and as I have tried to explain to you, these edits I was reverting were inappropriate because they misrepresented the text of the sources or were false informations or were not notable. And I also deleted a ref that didn't work. So, these were perfectly legitimate reverts. Eleventh1 (talk) 10:05, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

The attempt to discuss was initiated by me and is yet to have been met with a reply. I was asked to self-revert and so I did by using the Twinkle option.

I am semiprotecting the article anyway since some IP editors seem to be trying to slant the article and remove information critical of the movement with no discussion on talk. In one case an IP removed a word from the middle of a direct quote, while leaving the quote marks in place. Obviously the material being reverted by Hearfour is up for normal discussion, and its presence in the article should be decided by consensus. The problems listed on the talk page at Talk:Nation of Islam#Neutrality will hopefully be addressed in a positive spirit.

Comments:

FYI, the Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball team is being treated in an identical fashion to the articles for the other 50+ college basketball teams that appeared in the NCAA Tournament between 1939 and 1950. For some reason, this editor believes that these articles should list NCAA Sweet 16 appearances when the tournament was an eight-team draw in those years. This has been debated by WP:CBBALL at length, and the overwhelming consensus of project editors was that this is a misleading practice.

A similar dispute was on another article, Screen Award for Best Female Playback - where the user changed the name of the actual winner to the name of Alka Yagnik. In spite of having found reliable sources from newspapers to prove otherwise, I was still reverted. I started a talk page discussion, on which two more editors agreed who the winner was in accordance with sources. In the meanwhile, I left the line of the winner blank until the discussion was over. As the user continued edit warring on several pages, I started an ANI discussion, on which several users tried to make the user understand the process of Wikipedia editing and the importance of policy, without much success. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shshshsh (talkcontribs) 15:45, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Comments:I must stress I have no 3rr complaints. My concern is the disruptive style of editing of this user. The user has frequently removed sourced content from the article and sources themselves. The user rarely discusses his changes on the talk page, and when they do, it is after several requests and a fait acompli amendment. There has been no WP:BRD as user has not discussed many of the above edits on the Talk page. For example the content removal regarding travelling abroad and today's removal of all references to the Koran and Allahu Akbar remain unexplained. I have asked whether third party assistance or arbitration will be of help but have been ignored.


Best Wishes Ankh.Morpork 15:37, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Anyone reading this, I would like to say several things. First, AnkhMorpork seems to have violated 3RR (and I reported it), but I asked the user to self-revert, and once he did so I withdrew my report.
The above quote "reverts" are not characteristic of edit-warring. When looked at along with the discussion, they resemble the Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. My edits reflect the updated consensus I have formed with users on the talk page.
The following sections show that I do discuss: Talk:2012_Midi-Pyrénées_shootings#Deletion_of_Celebration_of_the_massacre, Talk:2012_Midi-Pyrénées_shootings#Description_of_shooter, Talk:2012_Midi-Pyrénées_shootings#Rallies, Talk:2012_Midi-Pyrénées_shootings#WP:UNDUE.
"I have asked whether third party assistance or arbitration will be of help but have been ignored". I suggested third party assistance, and have welcomed it. Yes, I have ignored requests for arbitration - its far too early for that.
(A report was filed against AnkhMorpork for making personal attacks against me, and it was resolved.)
VR talk 15:59, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Comments:

Hasn't responded to others' comments in edit summaries, discussion on the talk page, or 3RR warning. Just puts all the material back without explanation or acknowledgement of disagreement with other editors. I have never reported anyone for 3RR before but this is all I know I can do without violating 3RR myself. Tampabay721 (talk) 19:21, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: see Talk:Brian Camelio#Patent Dispute sections (search for instance for "I agree with Nowa that "we should avoid burdening the article with the ongoing play by play of the lawsuit"." and "Neither I nor Nowa (I presume) are willing to remove the complete paragraph. In other words, I agree with this edit by Nowa")

Comments:
Very similar edit warring on the page Kickstarter [416] (which includes almost the same section...). --Edcolins (talk) 21:26, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Comments:

User has also acted vindictive by reverting completely unrelated edits made by the first user who reverted him on this page, including a removal of an AfD message [423] and a few others. Fram (talk) 14:35, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Hounding is obvious and editor could be blocked for that alone. I'd block for the 3RR but I've reverted this editor before this was brought. Dougweller (talk) 15:41, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
Blocked – for a period of a day. I have no objections if another admin wants to increase the block due to hounding. Salvio Let's talk about it! 15:49, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

And on my talk page, I have been repeatedly harassed by this user who immediately accused me of vandalism.

Comments:

I ran into this article on Mr. Takis Fotopoulos, saw that the majority of the sources were either primary sources or sources affiliated with him or owned by him (as in the article on Jamie Zawinski and the user I am reporting started immediately putting up "vandalism" warnings on my Talk page and accusing me - without the slightest piece of evidence - of being here only to attack Mr. Takis Fotopoulos, the subject of the article. And now he even claims that I am... threatening the supporters of Inclusive Democracy (the political movement founded by Mr. Takis Fotopoulos). SentientContrarian (talk) 16:44, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

  • Both editors blocked - 24 hours. One did not break 3RR, but this is clearly edit warring. Neither party seems to have a WP:BLP immunity for any of their reverts. EdJohnston (talk) 18:38, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
