Comments:

Content was removed with extensive justification provided by a third party on July 8. Myself and yet another editor supported the reasoning and removal. Saronsacl showed up and just restored it, has not participated on the Talk page or explained why they disagree with the consensus to remove. They have not surpassed the magic 3, but they are well aware of edit warring, and they need a yet longer block to teach them that we discuss things, and that just showing up and trying to force an edit into an article, is not what we do here. Jytdog (talk) 01:24, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Wrong, I have participated in the talk page. I was just trying to return to the version pro ante, And Jytdog mistook it for edit warring. It was not my intention to edit war. I only reverted it multiple times because Jytdog ignored the fact that it was the version pro ante. Please do not block me, Jytdog and others are trying to edit based on truth and pass voting off as consensus, and I do not want the article to go down that path. I will not revert the article again till consensus.Saronsacl (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:52, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Also extensiveness of an argument does not make it more or less valid.Saronsacl (talk) 01:56, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

• Result: Blocked indef. This is a resumption of the edit war from June in which Saronsacl was blocked two weeks. The edit about the Garden of Eden that he's trying to insert here is the same edit as in the prior report. This user was blocked in May by User:Materialscientist for edits as an IP here. Given his past record and his statements above, there is no reason to believe that Saronsacl will follow our policies in the future. EdJohnston (talk) 02:41, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

The editor seems to be a WP:SPA and has made 4 reversions in under 12 hours despite me informing him that it wasn't allowed. I tried to start a discussion with the editor on the talk page to explain why the sources he provided were unacceptable per WP:RS and also why he removed sources from texts published by Oxford University Press and Routledge (amongst others). He doesn't appear to understand WP:RS and insists on edit warring. MontyKind (talk) 22:32, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

 Administrator note would have to check carefully whether those are 4 reverts, but in any case the report is stale and the user has not edited in the last couple of days. So I will close this with a warning to Monument2virtue. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:32, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: [8] I have tried to warn the user about his edit warring in the talk page. The user had no attempt to stop, and even responded with a false accusal that I fabricated lies about them. When I ask the user to provide evidence for their claim, the user admitted they were wrong and deleted their accusal. However, they still continued the edit war without stopping.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [9]

Comments:
The user, Rebismusic, had a long history of constantly deleting other editors' well cited paragraphs on Marsha P. Johnson Wiki page. The user uses their personal, unsourced, theory to justify their deletion. They attempt to identify Marsha P. Johnson as transgender while Johnson never used the word to describe Johnson's gender identity. The user attempts to cite the transgender page on Wikipedia to prove that transvestites and drag queens should be included in the transgender category. When I cited the exact words on the transgender wiki page that actual proves him wrong, the user proceeds to delete the words I cited on the transgender wiki page. When Rebismusic engages in edit war, the reason they give were borderline homophobic. For instance, the user deleted an editor's contribution, giving the reason that the author from which the previous editor cited is just "the opinion of one gay man", despite the author being a professional Stonewall historian, therefore an authority on the topic. In another deletion, the user give this reason, "you are most likely a gay man. its ironic that you probably think you are her ally." The user uses their assumed sexual orientation of other people to devalue other people's validity, and this is very discriminatory. The user's behaviours has been questioned and called out by multiple different editors in the revision history page and the article talk page. Yet the user still hasn't stopped their constant editing on the wiki page to revert to their own edition. Admin, please take a look at this issue, and consider a protection on the page. {{Mileyboo3 (talk) 04:40, 9 July 2017 (UTC)}}

This is actually the second iteration of the 1RR restriction, as he quickly violated the first one, receiving a 2-week block and had the 1RR restriction extended from 1 month to 3 months. As you can see at his now scrubbed Talk page, several admins and editors (Just Chilling, SQL, Canterbury Tail, Guy Macon) explained to him that he needs to use the Talk pages, get consensus, and not game the 1RR restriction. He deleted some of that excellent advice, saying in his edit summary (removed nonsense).

Comments:

• He is fully aware of and understands his 1RR restriction, having earned a block and extension for violating it just weeks ago. Now he has at least 2 more blatant 1RR violations (with no attempt to self-revert after brought to his attention), and several more instances of gaming the restriction. He apparently thinks it is okay to wait a few minutes past 24 hours to resume reverting, usually without discussion. Xenophrenic (talk) 01:02, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

• I gave Apollo The Logician some excellent advice on how to abide by his restriction[28] which he rejected.[29] Since then he has violated his restriction multiple times. The usual remedy (escalating blocks, refusal to reduce the length of the blocks no matter what he promises) will take care of that. That being said, I see a deeper problem.

Sometimes an editor has such strong feelings about a topic that he cannot be trusted to follow Wikipedia policies when editing in that area. I myself have a couple of areas where I have such strong feelings that I don't read those pages, leaving the editing to someone who can edit without a (conscious or unconscious) bias.

Apollo The Logician appears to have such strong feelings in the areas of The Troubles and Atheism/Agnosticism/Irreligion that he cannot be trusted to follow Wikipedia policies when editing in those areas. I suggest a topic ban with the understanding that if he stays completely away from those areas and edits constructively elsewhere for six months, and if he shows that he understands what behavior to avoid, we will consider lifting the topic ban. --Guy Macon (talk) 06:17, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

@Guy Macon:Seriously why don't you actually look at the revision history and the talk pages of the two atheism related articles in question. I did absolutely nothing wrong besides accidentally breaking the 1RR (which isn't edit warring btw) I made a revert. I then started a talk page discussuon and some time later I made another revert citing .brd. How is that improper conduct?Apollo The Logician (talk) 08:27, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

There is nothing wrong with reverting so I don't know what you are complaining about.I refered twice and open a talk page discussion ln two of those pages. I reverted once on one page and removed a silly category (incidents don't apply to people) a few times and tried to get a discussion going on the talk. What's the problem?Apollo The Logician (talk) 08:29, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

• Support a topic ban. Using an edit summary of 'take to talk' is not trying to get s discussion going. ATL may have read BRD but doesn't follow it. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 08:35, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

I imagine the user also knew about the WP:ARBAPDS 1RR restriction, having edited the article 13 times since the editnotice was posted on 17 April 2017. The user has now replied to my comment about it. Dervorguilla (talk) 05:28, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

As I said in response to Dervorguilla's cryptic post on the article's talk page, I reverted a sudden burst of IP vandalism before the article was semiprotected. These edits restored sourced content, including the phrase 'alt-right' which is contested by members of the forum. This is worth discussing on its own merits, and shouldn't be a back-door validation of IP vandalism and off-site canvassing. Grayfell (talk) 05:33, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Also, I haven't edited the article since Dervorguilla's talk comment about this. I've responded to each of Dervorguilla's three lengthy talk sections about this one batch of edits, although I admit that if I'm assuming good faith, I don't really understand the point of any of them. Grayfell (talk) 05:48, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Two of the reverted edits are IP edits; three aren't. All five seem at first sight to be legitimate. Also, the user marked two of his reverts as minor. Dervorguilla (talk) 08:33, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

• "by readers who are unable to appreciate the power of memes and irony" is legitimate? Grayfell (talk) 09:11, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
• Removing 27,000 bytes of sourced info, and replacing "deliberate" with "due to left-wing site bias" is legitimate?
• More blanking, with "BTFO" as the edit summary, BTFO is meme similar to 'rekt'. That's legitimate? Grayfell (talk) 09:23, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

@Grayfell: you clearly violated 3RR let alone 1RR and a block would be justified. As you have a clean block log for 9 years and have now indicated that you will stop then I suggest leniency may be applied. As you are now fully aware of the arbitration remedy, there will be no such leniency in future. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:51, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

@MSGJ: Above I posted a link to a highly visible reddit post which is a direct call to action ("Not a drill") from users of that forum, who have been a repeated source of difficulty in the past, as demonstrated by the protection history of the article. The edits I reverted were all attempts to remove sourced content without any attempt at discussion or meaningful explanation. I consider that vandalism. Shortly after I saw this was happening, I requested page protection to head-off brigading. While I split it up among two edits, I made only one revert of Dervorguilla, (Dervorguilla has listed one of my reverts twice above) and have engaged that editor on the talk page. Reverting a good faith editor once isn't an edit war. What, exactly, is the problem, here, and what should I have done differently? Grayfell (talk) 09:09, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

@MSGJ: I have now removed the second of those two (twice-listed) revert entries and added a missing one. My error. Total reverts (in 17 hours) = 4 + 1 = 5.

Again, as above, how are those not vandalism? Do you still maintain that they are 'legitimate'? Grayfell (talk) 21:30, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

I think that the correct action here would have been to request higher level protection and to ignore the changes until the protection was implemented unless they constitute blatant vandalism or BLP violations. In this case, using 'alt-right' in the lede sentence seems to be the main source of contention. I don't nessessarily agree that removing 'alt-right' from the lede is obvious vandalism. The article says: "The subreddit is also connected to the alt-right" (with several sources) However, this sentence is the only mention of the 'alt-right' in the article, and does not to me indicate that /r/The Donald is nessessarily 'alt right' by definition. I agree that the article is probably at its best with "alt-right" in the lede sentence, but I don't agree that removing it from there represents "obvious vandalism". Even without edit summaries, these edits to me can be interpreted as within the realm of good faith edits.

All that being said, I have worked with Grayfell on other articles extensively, and have found that they are a good editor with a strong understanding of policy. Grayfell is at their best when interacting on talk pages to discuss proposed changes to controversial articles, and is generally fairly level headed when doing so. I think that the lack of talk page engagement from these editors frustrated Grayfell and put them at a loss as to what to do in this case to rectify a perceived improper change to the article.

Grayfell should exercise patience in the future when dealing with changes such as this that are almost vandalism, or mild vandalism, but might be construed as good faith edits (breaking 3RR should only be used for cases when it is obvious vandalism—"edits that any well-intentioned user would agree constitute vandalism, such as page blanking and adding offensive language."--WP:3RR)

Grayfell has demonstrated to me that they are en editor willing to learn and listen to criticism, and I suggest a strong warning as all that is necessary in this case. — InsertCleverPhraseHere 22:11, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

@Grayfell: only one of those reverts was to restore sourced content; all the rest was edit warring over the term "alt-right". So no, I do not regard this to be an exemption to WP:3RR at all. You need to be extremely careful that your own actions do not cross the line into disruptive editing. Other suggestions have been given above, but generally there is no urgency to revert unless it is obvious vandalism or a BLP violation. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:02, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

@MSGJ: I've pointed out to the user (at Talk) that three of the edits he reverted aren't IP edits. Yet he's saying here he just "reverted a sudden burst of IP vandalism." One of the four contributors to that burst of "IP" reversions has been editing since January; another, since 2010.

The user is also saying here that those first four edits he reverted were "attempts to remove sourced content without any attempt at ... meaningful explanation". Two of the four are explained: (The criticisms have been leveled unjustly.) and (Removed the "alt-right" tag. The Vox piece is opinion by a political opponent of Trump and not a NPOV.)

Unless there are consequences, the user is likely to keep wasting editors' time with subtly erroneous statements and half-truths. Also, it looks like he may continue breaching 1RR:

1. He warns you that "this ... shouldn't be a back-door validation of IP vandalism..." 2. He doesn't "really understand the point of any" of my Talk comments about the violations (and he questions whether he ought to be "assuming good faith"). 3. He doesn't appear to understand what we're discussing here; he says, "What, exactly, is the problem, here, and what should I have done differently?"

You've warned the user about the ARBAPDS restriction; and he's advised you that he's ready to keep reinstating any "sourced content", without obtaining consensus. He may do so by calling the reversions "vandalism". His reinstatements are likely to get challenged by registered editors per WP:NOCON (or WP:BEGIN). This all seems likely to happen very soon. --Dervorguilla (talk) 03:48, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Comments:

I don't know if I'm supposed to comment or allowed to comment on this, but I'd like to make it clear that I didn't even know edit warring existed until this conflict with Kellymoat. I've been on Wikipedia for a while, but I've never had too many interactions with people and my edits have mostly been minor. As a result, I've sort of stayed ignorant to some of Wikipedia's rules like this one. This is a totally fair report, and I admit that I was involved in an edit war, but I didn't realize that wasn't allowed until the whole thing was already underway. I do apologize, and now that I know the rule it won't happen again. - Zabboo (talk) 5:43, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

That is not strictly true because you warned Kellymoat about edit warring at 06:16 on 9 July and then continued your edit war till 22:50 on that day. Also interesting that Kellymoat has violated 3RR. You could both be blocked. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:12, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

You're right, I did continue the war, that's why I think this report is valid. However, I just figured Kellymoat was being rude and that his "edit warring" notification sent to me was based only out of contempt, which I still believe is true. However, I did knowingly continue the war, because by that point I was furious at Kellymoat's behavior. For that I apologize and promise it won't happen again. Zabboo (talk) 15:17, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

This issue resolved itself 48 hours ago. There was no reason for the reporting editor to open this case, except for his repetitive trolling of my edits due to his personal issues with me. Kellymoat (talk) 12:23, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

And if "stale" isn't good enough, I will gladly go into detail over the situation. But, since blocking is used to prevent, not to punish, the age of the issue should be enough. Kellymoat (talk) 12:47, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

(edit conflict) @Sergecross73: I'm aware of Kellymoat's recurring problem and have little sympathy for their attitude/conduct. However, in my view, their history doesn't justify a block when the battle ceased a couple of days ago. That said, if you believe otherwise, you're welcome to impose sanctions. To the extent you're "overriding" my finding, I assure you it doesn't bother me at all. Thanks for the ping.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:49, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

No, your judgement is correct, I just wanted to pointing it out. We actually edit conflicted, and I hadn't noticed how stale it was. That being said, I'm going to give the user an absolute final warning on this, because there's no reason the community has to keep sorting through all these difs over Kellymoat knowingly breaking policy.

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: [50] [51]

Comments:
Ongoing edit war since 2017-07-05. About 30 edits on each side. Unclear over what. No discussions on talk by either party. At Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Slovakia admin suggested it was a 3RR violation, but it's a bit slow-motion for that. Both parties have left warning messages on the talk page of the other, which the other party has then deleted. Reported by uninvolved party; I have zero edits on article in question. (Was looking at this as a possible COI issue, but that seems unlikely. I can't figure out why the parties are edit warring over how many pictures of churches to include. Suggest light application of clue stick. Thanks.) John Nagle (talk) 20:25, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

In case a 3d person, as you seem to be, is reporting something as an edit war he or she might get familiar, at least a little bit, with the matter concerned initially. Simply saying "No discussions on talk by either party" is somehow strange. Did you not checked the history? Clearly no deep and detailed discussion is needed with an editor who uses Wikipedia as some sort of promoting platform, with few idea of WP guidelines, MoS and also is personally attacking. "I can't figure out why the parties are edit warring over how many pictures of churches to include"- Well, maybe because some editors care about the layout and style of articles and want to stick to basic WP edit guidelines. Just a suggestion from my humble side. Additionally, I like to get an explanation from you what "There are more; see history of Slovenia." is supposed to mean? Or did you really just confused "Slovenia" with "Slovakia";or what are you referring to? In the article Slovenia the red link editor was not even involved.--Joobo (talk) 20:43, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

• Joobo, you can say what you like, but this is an unexplained revert. That sort of thing is disruptive. Drmies (talk) 20:47, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
• Start talking, on the talk page, and stop reverting, or you will get blocked: I'm talking to the both of you. Thank you John. Drmies (talk) 20:50, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

If I am correct, the example you provided was not reverted three times. In addition to that, I reverted this edit back to my included images, not just because to me they were the better choice (one quality rated, the other one for improved contrast of seasons), but also as it appeared that the editor was/is merely focused on reverting anyways by any image changes that were made. So it was not about the images, but the fact that another user edited images in the article at all. The edit description is incoherent as images are not there for to promote anything, but to support the content/information of the articles; in this case the section of the nation's climate. PS: I guess if some editor writes this on your talkpage without signing it, you do not need to engage in any discussion do you? Joobo (talk) 21:03, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

I don't care: edit warring is more than just 3RR violations. I or any other admin could block both of you right now for your behavior. As for that message, don't confuse a collaborative project such as Wikipedia with a schoolyard after class. That the editor leaves you a shitty message doesn't mean you don't have to explain to everyone else what you're doing. These charges you made above, with this stuff about "promotional platform", none of them are proven. You want admins to side with you, start acting like an adult. And don't try to explain stuff here--explain it on the article talk page and in edit summaries. Drmies (talk) 22:11, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

I understand what you are saying and I agree. Nevertheless it is hard to feel the urge to start a decent and detailed discussion with someone when he or she does not seem to follow the most basic guidelines of civility, is personally attacking you and threatening you as well as arbitrarily reverting everything you do. I hope it is also understandable from my side. In case there are any questions concerning image usage or selection I am of course open to any form of dialogue, if it is initiated in an appropriate manner.--Joobo (talk) 07:41, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

• Result: Both warned. If either User:Joobo or User:Peter1170 makes any further edits to the article that don't have prior consensus on the talk page, they may be blocked. There is no sense in letting both parties continue to revert after the closure of the ANI complaint. The steps of WP:Dispute resolution are open to you. EdJohnston (talk) 02:04, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Comments:

The user has been restoring removed content and removing sourced content. Once I saw too many reverts from both the user and myself, I warned them about edit warring, and instead of reporting them for edit warring, I suggested that they self revert, in order to avoid a block. This suggestion was ignored and followed with more reverts. Two warnings have been issued, and the user also placed an edit warring template on my talk page, showing that they are fully aware of the situation.

Additionally, this seems like a single purpose account designed to make pro-Asian racial edits, rather than contribute towards making Wikipedia better. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 06:02, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Let's look at the edits I actually reverted, shall we?

Diffs 1, 5, and 6 were restorations of sourced content that had been removed with no explanation.

Diff 2 was a revert of excessive detail that violated WP:LEAD.

Diff 3 was a revert of a factually erroneous statement.

Diff 4 was a revert of a semantically nonsensical sentence.

I was not "warring" with anyone; I was reverting edits that did not contribute constructively to the article. Most of the reverted edits bordered on vandalism.

Spacecowboy420 has a history of making ridiculous racial accusations, and has previously been called out for using another editor's ethnicity to undermine their editing abilities. Take his claims with a grain of salt. If anything, accusing someone out-of-the-blue of having a racial agenda only serves to expose your own racial agenda.

Case in point: see Spacecowboy420's behavior on Chinese massacre of 1871, in which he has made several attempts to restore a vandalized version of the article which had originally been published with the edit summary: "removed the cuckspeak". Ohio girl (talk) 07:41, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

@Ohio girl: you have at least five reverts on this article within the last 24 hours, which is against the rules and worthy of a block. It doesn't matter if you believe you were improving the article. You are fairly new here and have not been warned about this before. If you would acknowledge your error we could maybe just give you a warning and move on? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:19, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Sure. I acknowledge my error and will make my best effort not to repeat it. Ohio girl (talk) 08:24, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

A significant part of your recent edits appear not to follow the neutral point of view policy. Please take care to be impartial. For example changing "controversial" to "highly controversial" has no purpose that to express subjective opinions. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch for more examples of words to avoid.

And yet after this report was closed with the editor stating "Sure. I acknowledge my error and will make my best effort not to repeat it." two more reverts were made:

Spacecowboy420 (talk) 10:20, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Huh? Those are not reverts. The first edit was a condensing of an overlong sentence and the second edit was an accidental deletion which I corrected in the very next edit. Keep in mind that both of Spacecowboy's edits used non-neutral language that would have warranted attention either way. Ohio girl (talk) 12:35, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Changing "official clarification that he was the rightful winner of the match" to "rescoring" is a revert. It removes someone's content.

"A "revert" means any edit (or administrative action) that reverses the actions of other editors, in whole or in part"

It wasn't a rewording, it was removal of content that was added by someone (me) - so yeah, it's totally a revert. (just after you were warned for making excessive reverts) Spacecowboy420 (talk) 12:59, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

And what was the official clarification? Oh right, the rescoring was the official clarification. It was indeed a rewording, unless you are implying that there was more to your edit than a statement of fact, in which case you were being partisan and violating rules to begin with. Perhaps you should stop injecting your personal prejudices into what should be very simple statements of fact. Ohio girl (talk) 14:11, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

What did the official clarification clarify? That Horn was the winner of the match. "rescoring" does not say who won the match. Therefore you removed meaning from the sentence. The fact that the rescoring confirmed that Horn won the fight, was supported by the sources, so it was in no way synthesis. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 14:43, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Comments:

This is a difficult topic on which to edit - high profile and lots of passion. This editor needs a much longer block to keep them away from this article until the heat is over - they do not seem capable of self-restraint, and they remain too passionate to understand the basics of editing WP content, instead continuing to make arguments that are invalid in Wikipedia, both for their behavior and for the content they wish to add.

agree editor in question is not showing self-restraint--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 17:42, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

I am new to wikipedia, I just found there is a talk page about the article. I am willing to discuss any further changes there. The page is being edited with totally incorrect and unsourced statements in the medical section, for example that "MDDS progressively causes all cells to stop functioning". I am a qualified MD-PhD and active in research, and now that I am beginning to understand the policies I am doing my best to include appropiate secondary sources. I will discuss any further modifications with the other users before undoing changes. I agree the topic is very heated, but there are other users introducing biased and unsourced opinions there (for example, about the efficacy or not of the nucleoside therapy, textually: "had been used in babies only a few times and had shown little to no efficacy", this is totally unsourced and incorrect, it is being applied to children and adults). I have no COI as I stated before. Wikipedia should be really neutral and explain what this therapy is about without making any interested judgements. There are several reviews about mitochondrial diseases discussing this issue, and specifically this therapy, and they are being reomved from the page. But as I said, let's discuss that in the talk page DoctorBiochemistry (talk) 18:07, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

(They also blanked an old peer review request and blanked parts of the talk page; I'm not clear why. SigTau2015 may have been a sock or otherwise associated with this user, given the similarity of their edits, although that account is currently soft blocked for having a promotional username.)

Comments:
I've made this report because, based on the user's comments on my talk and the article's talk, it appears that Blevy97 intends to keep reverting in order to include promotional material. Blevy97 has stated that they are part of Sigma Tau Gamma's communications team, so I've also left a conflict of interest notice on their talk page.

For clarity: I came across this article while patrolling recent changes. Initially, my edits were reverts of Blevy97's edits for the reasons I detailed on the article's talk page (removed all references in the article, did not comply with the manual of style, removed peacock tag without changing the peacock language of the article). Blevy97 seems to have taken some of that on board (e.g. their further edits left the references in place), but the article remained hugely peacock so I did a general edit this morning to get rid of the puffery/peacock terms/promotion/other obviously non-encyclopaedic content. Blevy97 subsequently reverted my edit, leading to this report. Although not a revert, I recognise that my fourth edit may be considered as edit warring on my part, since it was my fourth within 24 hours; if so, I apologise and will accept whatever sanctions are deemed appropriate.

• Note Blocked sock. Only, hard username blocks were intended to be used for precisely this kind of user, i.e., SigTau2015. Their problem was not only their username. In this particular instance, I had no problem dealing with the soft block because (1) there were three accounts and (2) Blevy97 was created before SigTau2015. You're not alone, Only. Many admins don't believe hard promotional username blocks should be used, but, FWIW, I don't like it, partly because it creates socking issues.

Please read WP:3RRNO. Report the IP to me if you see any further vandalism, and I'll block it. Sergecross73 msg me 00:19, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

First, I am going to say --- ANOTHER TROLLER? Too funny. Almost as if the two are "in cohoots" (which is something I already suspected).

Anyhow - no, don't bother reporting or blocking the IP. First, the situation has been cleared via talk page. Secondly, the IP is not static. He probably already has a new one assigned to him. And lastly, if you look, I suspect that the 3 IP addresses that were used (in the course of 20 minutes) are all the same person. A block would be useless. Kellymoat (talk) 00:59, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

If a block is useless because of an IP hopper, please report to WP:RFPP. TimothyJosephWood 01:08, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

No idea why the above didn't come out properly. I wrote the following (which, luckily, I managed to copy-paste here), but it didn't show up.

AffeL has a history of edit-warring, and he's been brought to this noticeboard enough times to know that he is required to use the talk page rather than continuously revert, and that technically staying within 3RR can still be edit-warring. In his relatively brief interactions with me, I've seen him receive one direct notice about edit-warring[75] and one admin notice that cautioned him against edit-warring[76] in addition to the above "Stop restoring inappropriate content" warning. Searching his talk page history for the terms "edit warring" and "three-revert rule" indicates that he has received at least ten total warnings in the last eight months, but has managed to avoid being blocked for more than ten minutes (for edit-warring). He seems to think that his first revert doesn't count, and that every talk page reply allows him to revert one more time, even though his one talk page reply made no sense.

Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 11:04, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

I have posted and replied on the talk page, never said I was not willing to discuss. - AffeL (talk) 13:31, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

You outright refused to use the talk page the last three or four times you edit-warred at me, and only made a remotely reasonable talk page response after I filed this ANEW report.

Assuming that my recent solution is not reverted, then I suspect we might be done on that article, but AffeL should be issued a WP:FINALWARNING. It is unacceptable for AffeL to refuse to use the talk page until someone opens an ANEW report, then weasel his way out of a sanction by suddenly becoming affable until the ANEW report is closed.

Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 22:16, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Something really needs to be done about AffeL. Aside from his history of editwarring and socking, he's been especially bad in recent months, including unexplained reverts of technical edits[77] which he described as a "vandal edit" when challenged (and this is only one of his editwars on the page: here's another). There was also editwarring with three editors at List of highest paid American television stars. He also has a habit of restoring challenged content, such as at Josephine Gillan (a page that has now been deleted, but an admin could access the diffs). None of this behaviour is getting better. Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 23:31, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

• Result: User:AffeL is advised not to exhaust the patience of other editors. It took a surprisingly long time for him to realize that by reverting, he was causing a direct quotation to be duplicated. Since there is no actual 3RR there will be no block. But if he reverts again on any of the disputed text he is risking a block. EdJohnston (talk) 23:49, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

prolonged edit war between this IP and BeLucky Tornado chaser (talk) 20:19, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

I'm new to wikipedia for three-revert rule. User was deleting the cited matter from page and was doing so continuously. There was no way to talk as he/she is a ip. I request you to reconsider it as I just tried to maintain the integrity of page as user was not adding or improving it in anyway. So I request for a semi-protect on this page as the page is about ongoing political conflict so it's better if mature and properly registered users edit there Thanks.

Comments:
First, it should be noted that the Battle of Mosul falls under the 1RR policy (no more than 1 revert per 24 hours) which is implemented on all ISIL-related articles. Now, editor MonsterHunter32 first made a partial revert of both editor LightandDark2000's and my edits [85]. Then, after I myself reverted him, he made a full revert of me [86]. I warned MonsterHunter32 [87] at his talk page of the violation. His reply - he considered [88] that since he removed only parts of the previous editors edits he wasn't making a revert. I then warned him, a second time [89], that per Wikipedia's revert policy, edits that undo other editors' actions even partially are considered reverts. But despite this, he still thought to be in the right [90]. It should also be noted that attempts were made to discuss the issue at both the editor's talk page and in two sections of the article's discussion page. EkoGraf (talk) 02:49, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Oh please I already undid my own revert and presented it as ongoing and voided my revert. What I did was an edit and my edits weren't just linked to presenting battle as ongoing. Now agreed it might be partial reverts, but sometimes people may jump the gun and not realise, but that is no reason to start trying to be hard on them. Know this 1RR is a warning, that doesn't mean you should revert yourself even once without discussion being resolved. It wasn't intended as maliciously. EkoGraf is simply getting upset I removed his version. Seriously, people get agitated over even the smallest reasons. Since people start complaining, I'll take care not to even partially revert their edits in the future. Sorry, now let's move on. MonsterHunter32 (talk) 05:48, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

@MonsterHunter32: Its not a matter of me being upset. You canceled the edits of two editors (twice), violating 1RR. After, I politely asked you two times to cancel your 2nd revert (which you indicated at the time that you would not do). Its not a matter of agitation but following the rules. In the future you should know that even partial reverts are considered reverts and should not be made, not because people complain but because its Wikipedia's policy. Also, the issue was already being discussed for a full two days. In any case, thank you for reverting yourself and for the additional sources. I appreciate it and sorry if you thought I was being too hard. I withdraw my complaint against MonsterHunter32. The issue is closed. EkoGraf (talk) 07:19, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Hey people get cancelled all the time, I cancelled my revert of yours before you made your complaint. Do check before complaining. I have no intention to edit-war, but please let's wait for the discussion to be resolved and edit per sources, not what we believe. And I'll try to take care that edits aren't partially reverted.

I haven't looked at the rest of their bulk edit. But Sydney Davis is correctly described as Sydney Charles Houghton "Sammy" Davis and per WP:COMMONNAME the article is at Sammy Davis (racing driver). Everything is as it should be.

I accept that I made a mistake with Sammy Davis (racing driver) and reverted myself. If any more of my edits are wrong, I will do likewise, but I think that Andy Dingley's reaction is a tad OTT.

Your recent editing history at Westport, Connecticut shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.——→ StephenTS42 (talk) 05:20, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

• No violation – there must be four or more reverts within a 24 hour period for the 3-Revert Rule to apply; the links you have provided do not meet these criteria. Remember: A series of consecutive saved revert edits by one user with no intervening edits by another user counts as one revert. What you've linked are 4 consecutive edits so that's one revert that occurred on July 14 (almost 3 days ago). He also made two consecutive edits on July 15 and 16. Two reverts in three days is not a violation. only (talk) 12:03, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

I'd like to note that you haven't left a comment on the talk page either. However, you've gone to WP:ANI and now here about it. If you're expecting the other user to go to the article talk page, shouldn't you do the same?

@Only: Thank you for your quick decision and comments. I am not contesting your decision, and there is no ill will intended, but I would like to point out that the consecutive saved revert rule is not clear in that it is made two different times with the first indicating such counts as a revert and the second counts as one revert. Both were written under the prevailing statement An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page—whether involving the same or different material—within a 24-hour period. I counted 4 reverts within 21 minutes. While I concede they were consecutive it appears that clause to be more like a loophole in the 3RR rule with one clause contradicting the other. Does that mean that so long as one editor makes consecutive reversions, no matter how many, the 3RR does not apply? (Just my thoughts on the matter)——→StephenTS42 (talk) 13:14, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Well, let's just say that even the Adolf Hitler page does not have the Fascism template on it. Anyway, if I really did violate the edit-warring policy, I apologize.Music314812813478 (talk) 12:58, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Alright, looks like I went over 3RR, so I clearly did. I guess I should understand how it feels like to get your edits reverted. I should also undertand how trying to tug-o-war an article is not the right way to do things. Never should I do such an atrocity again.Music314812813478 (talk) 13:32, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

@Music314812813478: Hitler doesn't have the template because the same material is in the Fascism navigation bar. Both his article and this one are included in the appropriate templates. And you haven't self-reverted yet. Doug Weller talk 13:35, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

It is not right for us to take any side. You yourself said that we should not decide that it isn't Islamophobic, and likewise we should not decide that it is Islamophobic.Music314812813478 (talk) 13:37, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

User:Music314812813478, it is now too late for you to self-revert because someone else has removed the {{islamophobia}} template from the article. You are risking a block for WP:3RR violation. You may be able to avoid a block if you will agree not to remove that template again without getting a prior consensus on the talk page. EdJohnston (talk) 15:35, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Alright, I agree.Music314812813478 (talk) 15:51, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

So you've now removed the Islamophobia category and put Islamophobic in quotes. I'd say that's violating the spirit if not letter of 3RR in this context. Funcrunch (talk) 16:05, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

No, those are entirely separate issues. Keep unreliable feels out of this. Music314812813478 (talk) 16:18, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

If we inject feeling driven stuff like "spirit" and "letter" into disputes like this, we will devolve into a cult. What Funcrunch just did above almost feels like a purity test-be troubled, for this is supposed to be an encyclopedia. Music314812813478 (talk) 16:23, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Quoting from WP:3RR: "Even without a 3RR violation, an administrator may still act if they believe a user's behavior constitutes edit warring, and any user may report edit warring with or without 3RR being breached." Funcrunch (talk) 16:55, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

@EdJohnston: Has now removed not just the category but also removed the article from the template.[96] This is getting ridiculous. Doug Weller talk 16:32, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

@EdJohnston: does this count as edit-warring? Never have I observed among editors where such a thung was deemed edit-warring.Music314812813478 (talk) 17:08, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

@Funcrunch: What that means is that what the editor deems as falling under the definition of edit-warring-what he thinks should not contradict the definition; if that quote means what you want it to mean then editors could just call any edits they do not like edit warring.

The other edits do not apply vecause:

a.) Edit warring overrides the other editors edits, and none of the other edits override any attemots to rever them. B.) Edit warring is defined as being "on a page", and thus does not extend to pages where no edits where overriden.

Music314812813478 (talk) 17:16, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

WP:Edit-warring itself states that edit-warring only occurs when back-and-forth editing occurs-the other edits are not back and forth.Music314812813478 (talk) 17:26, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Comments:
Both User:Joefromrandb and User:Scaleshombre have been edit warring extensively. While only Joefromrandb has violated 3RR, it's clear both users are guilty of edit warring. If the closing admin wants to take actions against both, I'd support it. Joefromrandb claims in his latest edit summary that his edit warring is justified, claiming WP:BLP. This is nonsense. One may agree or disagree with whether Scaleshombre's addition is WP:DUE, but a sourced sentence saying that a journalist is making a documentary is certainly not a BLP violation, and WP:UNDUE is no excuse for edit warring. Especially not when the user is perfectly aware of his own edit warring. Jeppiz (talk) 21:50, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

• I apologize for letting this escalate into an edit war. I repeatedly asked User:Joefromrandb to discuss the issue on the talk page before reverting, to no avail. I should have followed my own advice. Again, apologies. Scaleshombre (talk) 22:18, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
• I know it's traditional to not think about underlying issues at a noticeboard like this, but Joefromrandb is incredibly correct—please don't use Roger Waters as a place to plonk attacks by someone seeking attention (put it at Ian Halperin if it's that important). Add the attack to the Waters article when a secondary source notes an effect on Waters. @Joefromrandb: Use a noticeboard like WP:BLPN, not the revert button! Johnuniq (talk) 22:50, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
  • With all due respect, this is really not the place to discuss which version is correct. Being right is no excuse for edit warring. Please don't bring your opinions on content matters here again, that's what article talk pages are for. Jeppiz (talk) 23:07, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
    • "With all due respect", please don't try to clerk the board after filing a report. The admins are more than capable of sorting things out. Joefromrandb (talk) 23:20, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Page protected - Three days. I suggest that someone open an RfC on whether Ian Halperin's film needs to be mentioned in the article. Roger Waters' support of BDS is already explained in the 'Activism' section, so it is evident that Waters disagrees with some aspects of Israeli policy. Does mentioning the film contribute to a balanced account of his activity? If you were to scoop up everything written about Waters you could surely find many people who disagree with his thinking; we are unlikely to include all of it.

Anoptimistix Let's Talk 13:53, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

• the tone of this article is pretty promotional/flowery, but Umair Aj just blindly reverted Anoptimistix's addition of sources; no promotional language was added. While a discussion should be had on the article talk page about adding/removing/changing content - and a case could be made for a pretty significant pruning and/or cleanup - a discussion is not really needed to add sources to an article. Unless UA has specific concerns about the source A added (which he should describe on the article talk page), he should not revert addition of sources, nor should adding sources be called vandalism. An admin with more time on their hands could look into the editing history of UA a little deeper; I see they were very recently warned for edit warring by User:EdJohnston. While one revert would normally not be enough to warrant action, this was apparently a blind revert on a page with a previous history of edit warring, and if this is part of a pattern of behavior, then maybe a block is in order. --Floquenbeam (talk) 14:19, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
• Declined (e/c) @Anoptimistix and Umair Aj: 1 revert isn't usually considered edit warring, and while there's history/prior action on the page showing a content dispute, it's not entirely protracted; but, the revert is pretty questionable (as the user was just adding a source regardless of whether the content was problematic). Overall, though, you're both reverting each other problematically (e.g., removing a maintenance template right after it's added is usually only going to make things worse); I'd strongly recommend a request for comment, third opinion, or other forms of dispute resolution. It needs to be said this isn't clearly vandalism to me, and the article obviously needs paring back when it comes to meeting the neutral point of view policy (particularly impartiality of tone and undue weight), peacocking, and overuse of quotes). Continuing down this path with likely get you both blocked. Gain consensus on the talk page. --slakr^\ talk / 14:58, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

The edits are pertinent to the articles and improve them; the sources are valid sources. I enjoy finding consensus with other editors. However, I do not think that Ronz's general approach is conducive towards this. I acknowledge that seeking a third opinion in these matters can be beneficial, especially in regard to avoiding an excessive number of edits/reverts. I hope that we can find a way forward and keep improving the articles and Wikipedia.RickyBennison (talk) 12:34, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

The diffs four reverts are spaced out a little more than 24 hours, but Herve.toullec has a history of recent edit warring on this page: 17 July, 16 July, 12 July, 12 July (mostly over whether to use dollars or euros). I'm tangentially involved because I added one of the disputed sources: diff. This source later updated its content to say "France, USA" instead of just "France". Herve.toullec doesn't seem willing to accept that the film may be an international co-production and has instead edit warred over this. The discussion on TropicAces' talk page includes assumptions of bad faith ("you don't want to make useful edits"), which makes me think he's the one who needs to be blocked. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 16:31, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

According to me, the question is : what edits are meant to put right informations on wikipedia and what are wrong. Why do you write : "Herve.toullec doesn't seem willing to accept that the film may be an international co-production" ? It is NOT a co-production. This has always been known by everybody and is on all wiki pages of the film in all languages. Luc Besson himself says this everytime, and all media. I had the same problem with the film The little Prince : some users wanted to put Canada, USA, Italy... among production countries. It lasted several months ! When a film is made with euros, that's the currency of reference because it never changes, whereas the dollar equivalent changes all the time. But we can write also what amount it is in dollar, but the conversion must be accurate. And why not other currencies, then ?

What matters is the nationality (social siege location) of the production company, which is EuropaCorp here, and there is no other. No matter where the film was shot, the actors'nationality or the language they speak on the original version. That's why, when someone adds lies like this film is a co-production between France and the US (without mentioning any production company), I make assumptions of bad faith. Herve.toullec (talk) 17:06, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Herve, in your first revert you took out the Variety reference from the article. At this Variety reference bottom of page, it says (France-U.S.) An STX Entertainment (in U.S.), EuropaCorp (in France) release and presentation of a Valerian SAS, TF1 Films Prod. co-production, with the participation of OCS, TF1,... How many more times do you want it to say co-production? Is Variety telling lies, in your opinion? EdJohnston (talk) 19:56, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Attempted to talk to the user on his talk page, but user has refused to discuss the issues to come to a compromise Tærkast (Discuss) 16:13, 19 July 2017 (UTC)}}

You're not trying to "work with me". You're dictating your opinion, and expecting me to abide by it. I've been watching these articles for several years trying to balance the ROC vs Taiwan sides, and you just showed up and decided to change things, without prior discussion. Also, I've made other improvements to the articles, primarily adding a useful infobox parameter, which your blanket reverts are continually removing. If you genuinely want to "work with me", revert yourself, and we can discuss this like adults. Another editor has reverted you also, so take that as a sign you really ought to stop and discuss this before making further unilateral changes. - BilCat (talk) 16:21, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

I would not have reverted further had you actually responded to the discussion on your talk page, but instead point blank, literally deleted it and then did the same thing I did. --Tærkast (Discuss) 16:28, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

This edit is not a compromise. You're simply dictating ROC be used to the exclusion of Tawian. You're way past 3RR now. I'm not going to revert you on this matter again, and you'd be wise to make the same promise. - BilCat (talk) 16:29, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

I attempted to use Taiwan in the lead, I do not dispute the common name. But yes, you are correct in that we should both cool off and leave the pages alone. I will refrain from editing them as well as you. --Tærkast (Discuss) 16:36, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

That isn't enough. It needs to be clear in the infobox also. I understand your concern that having Taiwan in the infobox might be anachronistic, but the ROC link goes to the Taiwan article anyway. (Whether it should or not is beyond the scope of this discussion.) - BilCat (talk) 16:45, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

• Comment Note that the diffs presented are mere links to the overall history, and represent four reverts by TaerkastUA of edits by two other editors, BilCat and Anmccaff. The only edit warring apparent is by TaerkastUA, reverting long standing content. Scr★pIron^IV 16:46, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

With all due respect, longstanding history also had the original country templates in the infobox at ROC, if you were to look correctly, it was only recently re-edited, but more importantly, the dispute between Bil and myself has been amicably ended, so you would do well to note that instead of creating more antagonism and taking sides.--Tærkast (Discuss) 16:51, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

I agreed not to edit war over the issue with you, but the issue itself isn't settled yet. Unless of course you mean it's settled as long as your preferred edit remains. - BilCat (talk) 16:55, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

I am now trying to discuss this in a level-headed manner, but the antagonism and hostility is clear. I was going to suggest the us of the template {{ROC-TW}} in the infobox as a compromise, but I will leave the pages well enough alone now. --Tærkast (Discuss) 16:59, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

• Result: No action, thanks to the self-revert by User:TaerkastUA. The question of the best name for Taiwan-related entities has been heavily discussed in the past; I suggest that TaerkastUA should read some of those discussions. There are 44 hits for 'Taiwan' in the WP:AN3 archives alone. EdJohnston (talk) 17:42, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Both @Anmccaff: and @Adamgerber80: have reverted your changes. Perhaps they can suggest a way forward. I don't want to be guilty of a "not-invented-here" attitude concerning a.compromise. If we strictly followed WP's Common name guidelines, then only Taiwan should be listed as the country. I added {{TWN-ROC}} as a compromise several years ago so both names would be listed, many pro-ROC users, mostly IPs and single-edit registered users, prefer ROC only. If your concern is that the infobox dates of formation predate the ROC's "move" to Taiwan, then perhaps the solution is to find a way to link to both the Taiwan and Republic of China (1912–49) articles. Any suggestions on how to do this succinctly, if at all? - BilCat (talk) 17:44, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

TaerkastUA,BilCat I don't have a strong opinion on either options. But I do feel that we need to reach a broader consensus (maybe a RfC again?) on this topic rather than trying to edit few pages here and there. For the record, I have to agree with BilCat that mentioning both is an ideal compromise since it satisfies both parties. TaerkastUA in hindsight I think you should have discussed this topic (at the very least) on the article Talk page after your edits were reverted my multiple editors. I understand that it might be frustrating at times not to get an immediate reply but consensus building (especially on Wikipedia) takes time(order of days).

Repeatedly reverting multiple editors over the course of the day. — fortunavelut luna 18:36, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Regarding the lead, maybe you should review the history of the page first before deleting well-sourced contribution. The sections that you are deleting have been there all along, and as I mentioned, they are needed to balanced out the first part of the paragraph. When someone is accused, of course you need to show his/her side too, especially since there is no court conviction. Otherwise the discussion becomes one sided and the contribution will be full of accusations. Thetruth16 (talk) 18:27, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

There has been two months of discussion on the talk page beginning here but finding no resolution.

Comments:
While I have done extensive editing on articles related to the Native American mascot controversy, I had not paid much attention to Redskin (slang) except as a place for the details that were intruding on other articles. Bromley86 began editing in May by removing cited content from the lead section. I reverted with the edit comment "This "biased source" is a PhD Historian" but no talk discussion. After some mutual reversions that discussion began, but has not been productive, with removal of sourced content continuing until I placed a POV tag on the disputed section. No editing of the article was done until June, when User:Elinruby responded on the NPOV noticeboard. There was some appearance of progress, until July. Although I stated that I would not be paying much attention during this vacation/holiday period, which should not be taken as consent, further unilateral edits were made, capped off by again removing the citation of the PhD Historian Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz. Upon returning, I made a clear statement of my intention to restore the article to some level of neutrality Restart but this started a series of complete reversions of my edit. I realize I should have posted here sooner (3RR), but it is summer and there are other things to do. WriterArtistDC (talk) 19:35, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Again, WriterArtistDC is taking a content dispute to the wrong noticeboard. I made a series of incremental edits (6 July-13 July), most of them merely copy edits, leaving a couple of days each time for him to object each time. He then reverted them all. Fine, but revert them back to where we were before (the second diff above is me doing just that). WriterArtistDC then repeatedly re-added the unagreed information (much of it directly cut and pasted from the source), despite being asked not to on the Talk page, and despite a non-copyvio version being available.

I've opened a WP:RSN on the Dunbar-Ortiz thing that kicked this all off. Once we've got some comment on that, perhaps we can move forward. Bromley86 (talk) 22:03, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

User used abusive language in talk page, calling people "idiot" and doesn't try to resolve issue.

Comments: User is clearly using multiple sock puppet accounts, pretending to be multiple people and has persistently vandalized the page, falsely claiming Jimmy Iovine is italian, when he is Jewish. Sock accounts include, but are not limited to: Sondance Kyd (talk · contribs), A Great Catholic Person (talk · contribs), Bubbamorris (talk · contribs), 2601:340:c500:7db5:edb8:fba2:e7b2:6308 (talk · contribs), and MarcusAureliusIsMyBae (talk · contribs), the last of which he oddly used to thank himself on his own talk page.

  Not to mention that the user has removed your comments here. Twice. SkyWarrior 03:53, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

I have notified the user, so that is a lie, and this person is trying to report other people on my report that is specifically for Mossimo203 (talk · contribs) and his multiple sock accounts. That is the definition of disruptive. General Ization (talk · contribs) can simply open his own report for the other people.Gropeypopey (talk) 04:01, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

No, my comment was specifically relevant to your report, and remains so. General Ization ^Talk 04:06, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

I'm just going to repeat what I said on my talk page. By filing a report to AN3 (or anywhere, really), you essentially agree to review the actions of all parties involved, including your own. General Ization is very much allowed to criticize you in this report, since you are an involved party. What you cannot do is remove legitimate comments that are not harmful. See WP:TPO for more information. SkyWarrior 04:06, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

• The information that Iovine is Italian-American, as reflected in the version to which Mossimo203 reverted, is sourced to the subject's own comments as reported in Rolling Stone[126] and a PBS "Frontline" interview [127]. The claim that the subject is Jewish (which, frankly, doesn't rule out his being Italian-American) in the version that the OP and other, likely related, accounts have repeatedly warred to maintain is sourced to HipHopWired.com[128]. I think it's pretty obvious where these stand relative to one another on the reliability scale. General Ization ^Talk 04:06, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

If it doesn't preclude him from being Jewish, why remove it? ? Also, the sock puppet user is deliberately trying to say his ethnicity is Italian, instead of Jewish, even though Iovine had a Rabbi officiate his wedding. Why would anyone but an ethnic Jew have a Rabbi at his wedding? Gropeypopey (talk) 04:07, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

Because it (the claim that he is Jewish) is poorly sourced, and your edits removed the well-sourced information concerning his Italian-American ethnicity. General Ization ^Talk 04:11, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

And stop referring to the other editor as "the sock puppet user", since no such thing has been established. General Ization ^Talk 04:12, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

The fact that you think an Italian-American, and possibly a gentile, should not have a rabbi officiate at their wedding has no relevance here. General Ization ^Talk 04:13, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

Nowhere does he say his ethnicity is Italian, he simply says he is Italian, which means someone whose parents are from Italy, where there are many Jews, as there have been since Imperial Rome. Again, he had a Rabbi officiate his wedding, which is demonstrably well-sourced. Don't put words in my mouth, I never said Italians "shouldn't" have Rabbis officiate their weddings and I would love for you to explain why anyone but a Hebrew would have one.Gropeypopey (talk) 04:16, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

The sources are linked above for both "your" version of the article and the version to which Mossimo203 reverted. Other editors and admins can decide for themselves what content they support. In any case, this report is about a claim that Mossimo203 edit-warred, when you have in fact presented no evidence that they did so; only that they, as well as others, reverted the poorly sourced changes you, as well as others, repeatedly made to the article. General Ization ^Talk 04:22, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

They're not poorly sourced at all and the sock puppet user clearly made/makes numerous accounts for the sole purpose of editing the article. You also didn't address my question.Gropeypopey (talk) 04:29, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

Your question is not relevant to our purpose here. General Ization ^Talk 04:31, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

At least you tacitly admit you cannot answer it, as well as admitting that anything you said pertaining to the issue of Iovine is also irrelevant to the sock puppet user's violations.Gropeypopey (talk) 04:33, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

I could easily answer it, but the answer is irrelevant to our purpose here. General Ization ^Talk 04:35, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

That's what someone who cannot answer it would say and if it was irrelevant, you wouldn't have pontificated on the subject. Gropeypopey (talk) 04:37, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

• No violation – Use the talk page to reach agreement on the subject's ethnicity. User:Ad Orientem has semiprotected the article for two weeks, which should be helpful. User:Gropeypopey, don't remove others' comments from this board. The claims that Jimmy Iovine is Jewish seem to rely on weak sources; WP:RSN is available to evaluate sources.

Multiple IPs have introduced an edit regarding the definition of "phobia", which constitutes WP:Original research and fails WP:NPOV, per talk page discussion (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...). Fairly evident that most if not all of these edits are coming from the same person. Funcrunch (talk) 17:11, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

The nexus of this is a content dispute concerning the definitions of compound words such as "transphobia" or "homophobia". The IP appears to be claiming that connotations of dislike, discrimination, or hatred of trans or gay people cannot be part of the definition of "transphobia" or "homophobia" because the meaning of the root word "phobia" is defined as an "irrational fear" of something. Other editors have pointed out that this is not how definitions of compound words are determined, but rather by common usage of each word.

Any content dispute should be carried out on the article's Talk page, where a section has been provide for that, but so far the IP user has refrained from taking part.

The conduct issue with the IP user is failure to use dispute resolution procedures, POV-pushing, WP:IDHT, dismissive edit summaries indicating an attitude of ownership, edit-warring, and a general refusal to discuss.

As of a short time ago, the page has been protected until July 30 by Vsmith, so that should solve the edit-warring problem in the short term. However, I'd be somewhat concerned that the behavioral issues of this user might be displaced onto other articles, so it would be good to keep a watchful eye out.

Vandalism on Indian President elect Ram Nath Kovind

An editor who goes by username swamy16 have vandalised the entire controversy section without explaination As this is a case of notable person I approached here , before approaching here I visited BLP notice board, but found the page has backlog and Administrators are not active there. As admins are active here so I approached here. The WP:BLP policy mentions editors should remove contentious statements of crime accused who is yet to be held guilty by court of law. But as the controversy on Kovinds page was not crime related so I thought removal of that section without explanation was not fine. However as the case is about highly notable living person I approached here before restoring the section. I also approach at WP:AIV but an administrator there advised me to take the report here.

Comments:

Another instance of an editor demanding that Wikipedia treat biblical narrative as history. Edit warring against two editors who are trying to keep the article NPOV. See block log. This will end up at ANI eventually but we have a clear 3RR violation here. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 01:00, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Note the last two edits are unrelated to this user and were part of a discussion with @Alephb:. I have not violated the 3RR, meanwhile, as for your disrespect to me and the uncooperative attitude…don't be so underhanded. BedrockPerson (talk) 01:03, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

As an uninvolved editor, I put them back. They seem relevant, as the information is essentially the same. Please don't try to obscure the issues by deleting relevant evidence. Newimpartial (talk) 01:13, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Also, please don't edit your comments here without signing them. I am not sure that you understand 3RR, but if you enter some information twice, and are reverted by one editor, and then enter essentially the same information three times, and are reverted the first two times by a different editor, you have violated 3RR. You would equally have done so if you entered the same information in four slightly different ways and were reverted by three different editors within a 24-hour period. Please don't try to WP:GAME the edit war rules, and don't accuse me of "disrespect and uncooperative attitude" when I am literally just trying to clarify a public issue. I am not taking sides in any way, nor was I at all aware of this dispute except for the odd edits here. Newimpartial (talk) 01:22, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

…I didn't call you disrespectful or uncooperative…I very clearly was referring to Jytdog? You hadn't even commented yet…that's kind of fishy. BedrockPerson (talk) 01:30, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Since you edited your comment after I had already replied immediately below, I thought you were referring to me; my bad. But you stll should not have deleted the diffs, which was the point of my comment that you apparently didn't see. It is still there, accurately signed and dated. :) Newimpartial (talk) 01:45, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Ah, I see. That' explains that, then. BedrockPerson (talk) 01:48, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

• My original post is here. BedrockPerson actually deleted diffs from the post. I don't think I have ever seen that at this board before. This pretty clearly shows the extent of the behavioral issues here. Jytdog (talk) 01:50, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, I tried to restore them here [144] as an uninvolved editor; I hope I was successful. Newimpartial (talk) 01:58, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

They were deleted because 3RR makes it clear that reverts from diff users don't count towards the same edit war unless the same person is behind both accounts. So, are you admitting to be Alephb as well, then? BedrockPerson (talk) 02:01, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

You are now profoundly misreading 3RR, to the point that I feel that you might be trolling, BedrockPerson. "Edit warring" is an attribute of a person, and it doesn't matter whether that person is reverting the same addition or deletion as made by one editor or an entire committee acting in turn. You made the same contribution five times, and thereby fall afoul of 3RR. Newimpartial (talk) 02:04, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

"The three-revert rule applies per person, not per account; reverts made by multiple accounts operated by one editor count together." Ergo, diff accounts operated by diff users do not count as one. BedrockPerson (talk) 02:06, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

You are one person, so if other editors make the same edit or revert that you do, that does not count against you for 3RR. But it does not in any way matter how many different editors you are reverting, as long as you keep adding (or deleting) the same content.

I am still not convinced that you are not trolling, given this stubborn misreading you are performing, BedrockPerson. Newimpartial (talk) 02:31, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Forgive my ignorance. It's very late at my location and I'm very tried. I'll take this back ho in the morning when I have my wits

I asked him to look at the talk, I asked him to review consensus, and I got disrespected and reported for edit warring with false friggin edits. I'm done. BedrockPerson (talk) 01:09, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

So you retaliate by reporting him just for the sake of reporting? Per WP:BRD, you were bold, your edits were reverted—by more than one editor—and now the onus is on you to discuss, not continue edit warring and risk a block. Amaury (talk | contribs) 01:16, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Oh I was planning on doing this anyhow, but thanks more immediately assuming the worst of my intentions. Really appreciate it. BedrockPerson (talk) 01:21, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

• This will be obvious to admins here. The original diff is by Bedrockperson, as is last diff, both of which I already provided. I am aware that I hit 3 and I stopped -- and I was the one who opened the Talk page discussion. diff. Jytdog (talk) 01:53, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Fixed. Also I implored you to check the talk several edits before that, so you didn't "open the discussion". This fact is plainly visible. BedrockPerson (talk) 01:57, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
    • You fixed nothing. The "diff before" is yours, and the 4th diff is yours. I have not violated 3RR. You reverted Aleph before I got involved, then me, then another editor. This filing is both retaliatory and incompetent. Jytdog (talk) 03:11, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
• In case someone is reading this page bottom-up, this section is a retaliation for the immediately previous section. Regarding "nope": Bedrock misunderstands the situation, badly. The "nope" was a reply to Bedrock's edit summary where "consensus + approval from Alephb" was claimed, with some other irrelevant claims about "complies w/ policy". Obviously if two editors have removed Bedrock's text, there is no consensus (and none is seen at talk), so "nope" is an accurate edit summary. Johnuniq (talk) 04:15, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
• No violation. The last diff listed above is not Jytdog's. There's really no need to do these retaliatory reports; I usually look at every editor in a dispute once a report is made. Kuru (talk) 13:53, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

I did not do so, as I observed this edit war rather than being involved in that section of the article. I checked, and neither of the WP:INVOLVED editors have opened a discussion on this passage AFAICT.

Comments:

Technically, I suppose the user has not yet violated the 3RR rule, but deleting this material three times in just over 3 hours without initiating a talk page discussion shows a WP:BATTLEGROUND mentality.

• There was never a content dispute, I was only reverting those edits because the other editor reverted the entire edit when he only disputed part of the edit in question. He also accused me of being a sneaky vandal against good faith, but that is neither here nor there. I added the content in question back almost 7 hours ago, though. So I think the entire purpose of this is moot. And apparently you reported me about 5 or so hours after the problem was already fixed. I guess that's all I have to say. ‡ Єl Cid, Єl Caɱ̩peador ^ᐁT₳LKᐃ 01:19, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

In what sense was the problem "already fixed"? Just because nobody has yet restored the content you deleted does not mean the issue is over. You were still edit warring, and your insistence that another editor re-introduce only part of the content you deleted is not a justification for you to revert their edit - the correct course, per WP:BRD, would have been for you to move the discussion to the talk page. Also, seven hours is not really enough time to declare your edit war over, is it? Newimpartial (talk) 01:29, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

What I'm saying is that I ADDED the content back. I was accused of edit warring because I REMOVED the content. Ergo, the content was restored to before I began 'edit-warring.' I have added the content back and it is at the status quo. ‡ Єl Cid, Єl Caɱ̩peador ^ᐁT₳LKᐃ 01:32, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

You added some of the content back, while leaving some of the content deleted. You were still edit warring over the content you left deleted; it is not at the "status quo" reflected in my initial report. See also this [153] response to this [154], which demonstrates (i) that the issue was still active on the talk page, although you have pretended that it was resolved, and (ii) that you misunderstand the whole point of BRD - it is always appropriate to revert an entire WP:BOLD contribution that proves controversial, so that it may be discussed to arrive at a consensus that can be reflected in the article. Newimpartial (talk) 01:41, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

• BRD, as always, is a suggestion not a rule. But anyway, I added back the content about the prosecutor being dismissed, which was the content in question. I summarized the content of the quote and removed the quote, which was not the dispute. I did not remove any information, I simply summarized an off-hand quote in a non-encyclopedic tone. It still states that he supported water boarding as a tactic. I don't see what the issue is, and as I said, it was resolved over 7 hours ago. If you are going to split hairs and say I didn't technically add the content back, then that's fine but I'm not going to entertain that. If you can get an admin to ban me for this, congratulations. ‡ Єl Cid, Єl Caɱ̩peador ^ᐁT₳LKᐃ 01:51, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

I don't know whether you will be blocked or not, but you were clearly edit warring, the issue is not resolved according to the other involved editor, and you seem remarkably unrepentant about that. Newimpartial (talk) 02:00, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Pinging User:TheGracefulSlick and User:AcademicHistorian in case they want to comment. EdJohnston (talk) 02:19, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

We're in the middle of a lighting storm here so I'm shutting down. I'll be offline until tomorrow. I will say that the issue was indeed raised on the talk page [[155]]. I asked him to discuss it on the talk page and I started the thread. Despite El cid, el campeador's claims, the issue is not resolved. One part of the contested edit (the prosecutor)had been restored, but the second contested removal (the stepping down of the attorney) has not been restored or discussed. As I've stated, I have no issue with the removal of the material about Khadr's clothing. Meters (talk) 02:59, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

* I don't know what content you are talking about that I didn't add back. I added back the paragraph you objected to me removing. If there is something else you want added back, please do so yourself, since I don't know what you are referring to. I think it should be clear that I am no longer contesting any edit and you can add back what you want. This issue has been resolved for almost an entire day, and in fact I've stopped editing the article altogether (at least temporarily). This entire thing is overblown and the only reason any of it happened is frankly you because you accused me of being a sneaky vandal when I was acting entirely in good faith and trying to simplify the article. I don't know what else I can do? ‡ Єl Cid, Єl Caɱ̩peador ^ᐁT₳LKᐃ 14:18, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Meters told you about three times that the attorney's stepping down was significant, and should be in the article; you cut this when you deleted the paragraph about the sartorial issues in the court room - three times - and never restored it. I have since done so. Newimpartial (talk) 14:26, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

• Ah, I realize the mistake now. I thought the first paragraph was only regarding the clothes, and missed the rest. Since prosecutors ARE attorneys and the prosecutor stepped down, saying to add back the part about the attorney stepping down didn't make me realize my mistake. But since you added it back, the situation is still solved. This board isn't for reporting people who you don't agree with, it's for resolving issues. And the issue has been resolved since yesterday, when I attempted in good faith to add the content back. This report is still completely unnecessary. This is pretty stupid. ‡ Єl Cid, Єl Caɱ̩peador ^ᐁT₳LKᐃ 14:36, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

:: In my view, The GracefulSlick is edit warring without reading or responding to edit descriptions. For example, in the Lede it includes a sentence about the 10.5 million settlement twice. This is literally the exact same sentence 2 times for no apparent reason twice in the Lede. The GracefulSlick reverted my removal of the disputed comment without giving any reasons whatsoever. I believe this is disruptive. El Cid Capeador has been making productive and necessary edits as the article currently includes duplicated information, and far too much intricate detail. It also has a very pro-Khadr POV tinge. AcademicHistorian (talk) 11:24, 21 July 2017 (UTC) Strike comment by sock of blocked editor

I would hope so! Newimpartial (talk) 14:40, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

We've tried different versions with you. The main point is, we absolutely can't have the exact same sentence listed 2 or three times in the Lede. For example, the 10.5 million settlement and "murder in violation of the laws of war" sentences are both referenced over and over again. Also, there's no point in including every single piece of intricate detail in the Lede. Like Khadr getting transferred in between different Canadian prisons. That's what the rest of the article is for. Lastly, the Lede should be in chronological order. Currently, it's in some random back and forth order which is very confusing to readers. Rather than status-quo stonewalling, please just work with other editors to fix these blatant problems. AcademicHistorian (talk) 15:13, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

This isn't about your dissatisfaction with the lede (which rests on untrue claims: nothing in the lede is currently repeated, nor is the prison transfer mentioned, nor is it "in random back and forth order"; various editors have actually been improving the lede in between your edit war deletions).

This venue is for your gratuitous edit warring, SPA. Newimpartial (talk) 15:18, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Actually, there's still tons of repetitions and redundancies.

"Murder in violation of the laws of war" is states twice.

The settlement from the Canadian government is stated twice.

Pleading guilty is stated twice.

The interrogation of Khadr is stated three times.

The length of the detention is stated three times (twice listed as 8 years and once listed as 10 years).

Repatriation and returning to Canada is stated twice

Guantanamo Bay is stated twice.AcademicHistorian (talk) 19:11, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Except for "pleading guilty" and "murder in violation of the laws of war" (about which I agree), the rest of those claims are false. "Khadr was interrogated by both Canadian and US intelligence officers" is not the same statement as "the Supreme Court of Canada had ruled that the Canadian government's interrogation ... offend[ed] the most basic Canadian standards". "Held for ten years" is not the same as "after eight years in detention, Khadr pleaded guilty" which is not even related to "agreed to an eight-year sentence", and "possibility of a transfer" is not the same as "returned to Canada". "Detained by the United States at Guantanamo Bay from the age of 16" is not the same mention as "the Supreme Court of Canada had ruled that the Canadian government's interrogation of Khadr at Guantanamo Bay" - and indeed, it seems important to let the reader know, in the latter cse, where Canadian officials interrogated Khadr.

Anyway, even if everything you said had been true and relevant, it would not justify five reverts in the course of a few hours. Newimpartial (talk) 20:17, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

You're really splitting hairs by claiming that a series of virtually identical sentences are not similar enough to just combine them.

Also, you have reported El Cid earlier on the same article, and it seems you have been edit warring with him/her as well. It seems that your way to win an edit war is to accuse everyone you're edit warring with of exactly what you are doing.

Maybe you could try a more collaborative approach. Try retaining elements of the edits of others. In this way, you would be more likely to achieve consensus. AcademicHistorian (talk) 21:04, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Um, dude, those are not "virtually identical sentences". A sentence that says that Khadr was interrogated is not the same as a sentence that says that, eight years later, the SCC found that his Charter rights were violated in the way he was interrogated. A sentence mentioning that he took a plea deal based on the possibility that he might return to Canada is not the same as one mentioning that he returned to Canada. With an attitude like that, no wonder your edits are being reverted.

And I haven't been edit warring at all, in any way. I haven't violated 1RR, even, and I haven't been slomo warring either. I just notice when other editors are too lazy or blinkered to do anything but revert without discussion. Newimpartial (talk) 00:45, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

User Tart has persistently removed the official name "Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China" from the introduction text. STSC (talk) 04:32, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Comments:
My edits involves a lot of modification in the introduction, including fixing redundant sentences, wrongly placed footnote, add new info, shorten introduction, and deleting info which had been repeated three times in the introduction and infobox. Please observe WP:BRD-NOT. "BRD is not a valid excuse for reverting good-faith efforts to improve a page simply because you don't like the changes." Instead of reverting my edit by stating "not an improvement" without backup, please edit and or explain. Please observe WP:BRD. "BRD is an optional method. No one is ever required to follow this process." please observe WP:OWN, a wiki policy, "you should not undo their edits without good reason." Instead of entering an edit war, it is NewYorkActuary who started an edit war without any backed reasons in reverting my good faith edits. And STSC put me on the list but not also NewYorkActuary shows his allegation deeply biased. In fact in STSC's recent active involvements on the page Hong Kong, he was complaint by other users as "long-term political agenda editor" in the editorial note [177]. Tart (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:01, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

My concern here is you persistently removing Hong Kong official name from the introduction. You made no attempt to discuss in the article's talk page, ignored my warning and keep deleting it regardless. STSC (talk) 15:16, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Instead of reverting my entire edit without any backed reason, you can simply edit it in order to improve it. I see no point why my edits such as fixing misplaced footnotes should be reverted by solely a reason "not an improvement". I deeply understand your concern, that's a concern widely shared among Mainland Chinese people on Hong Kong people and thus trying to keep emphasizing Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China at least for three times in the article introduction (and more and more and more onward in the article). That feels repeated, redundant and awkward. Nevertheless, I am open to discussion in how to improve the article but undoing all of the constructive edits is by no means an improvement as well. After all, my description "Hong Kong is an autonomous territory in East Asia." is true, strong, and straightforward.Tart (talk)

I did not revert your edits, other editors did. I have started a discussion in the talk page but you have not participated. The issue is not about mentioning Hong Kong is a special administrative region. The issue is you removing the full official name in the first sentence of introduction. According to your edit-warring pattern, you would continue to delete it if the full official name is restored; to prevent it happening again is the purpose of my report in this AN/EW here. I have the feeling that you delete the official name for political reason. STSC (talk) 00:36, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Apparently NewYorkActuary started an edit war and your decision to place only me on trial is biased without doubt. For you being formerly complaint by other editors as "long term political agenda editor" (in page Hong Kong's edit notes), I wish you could understand that there is editorial concern in fixing footnote and deleting repeated information. And instead of offending WP:OWN, a wiki policy, "you should not undo their edits without good reason," you and NewYorkActuary are more than welcome to edit the topic in order to improve it.Tart (talk)

I don't discuss here the personal attack aiming at me elsewhere. The Hong Kong official name had only appeared once in the introduction so I don't accept your excuses to delete it. Just to remind you why it should appear in the article: "Where an undisputed official name exists, it should always be provided early in an article's introduction, bolded at its first mention" per WP:ON.

Regarding the lead, maybe you should review the history of the page first before deleting well-sourced contribution. The sections that you are deleting have been there all along, and as I mentioned, they are needed to balanced out the first part of the paragraph. When someone is accused, of course you need to show his/her side too, especially since there is no court conviction. Otherwise the discussion becomes one sided and the contribution will be full of accusations. Thetruth16 (talk) 18:27, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Everything started after I gave very serious evidence (in Greek WP as well) that two users have confict of interest with their subject (Angelique Rockas), plus that the article is to a great extent the product of original research. So I placed the relevant tags. User Kyrilo36, with no contributions so far, appeared out of the blue in both en- and el- WPs and started immediately (after a brief stop to the talk page that she/he supposedely "refuted of Cahlk19 accusations" -but did not wait for an answer) removing COI and Original Research templates repeatedly and with great zeal. ——Chalk19 (talk) 17:35, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

PS. Judging from this comment to User Kyrilo36 Greek talk page, it is beyond doubt that IP 82.1.219.198 belongs to Kyrilo36 who just forgot to sign in. 82.1.219.198's global contributions are similar to those of user Johanprof. At the same time, this lead us to the conlusion that Johanprof, user Amfithea (who have been named by myself as having confict of interest with their subject, Rockas), and Kyrilo36 of course, either they are the same person, or they act together, in company. ——Chalk19 (talk) 19:25, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Editor is currently edit warring and although they've come to my talkpage they're still hitting revert, I'vetold them multiple times per BRD to go to the tp yet this has been ignored, Tanks, –Davey2010^Talk 21:28, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Comment: He did say to go to the talkpage on the article, but the user wasn't making logical sense with reverting the edit I made. I cannot understand why they reverted my edits, because their reasons for doing so made no sense at all. My reasoning is as follows:

"The episode list should be focused on the show's run between 2001 - 2009, when it was an independant programme and not a part of BBC's Watchdog, after the latter was revamped with a new set up. When Rogue Traders was merged to Watchdog, the programme ceased to be nothing more than a multi-part segment of Watchdog. As such, the Episode List as it is, is not only incorrectly set out, it does not correlate with the programme during its independent run on BBC 1. Keeping it on and saying "as no episodes are on the actual Rogue Traders website meaning the pre-watchdog eps may have just been put on the Watchdog website" is not a good reason at all. What is there must be deleted; the only episodes that should be there are those from the 2001-2009 run, not during the Watchdog era; those ones are films for the Rogue Trader segment, not of the programme itself."

• Page protected I know both of you very well, and I don't want to see either one of you under the block hammer :-).

• Oshwah - I'm so sorry!, This was entirely my error - The Main programme ended in 2010 and the episode lists would be for the Watchdog version, unfortunately I did have trouble understanding the editor which didn't help, Could you unprotect the article as the editor is indeed correct this list belongs on Watchdog not here, My sincerest apologies. –Davey2010^Talk 22:07, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

I don't believe anyone else involved broke the 3RR rule. Recently, I reported Kellymoat for something similar, although it turned out he was just reverting blank vandalism. I think this report is completely fair - I am not out to get Kellymoat, but I have noticed that he has a pattern of engaging in edit wars and breaking the 3RR rule, and has a result has been blocked from editing three times. I don't think behavior like this is acceptable. Zabboo (talk) 17:14, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

LOL. I told you before, you'd be better off not stalking my edits. I mean, isn't this the 3rd time you've reported me? The only person who has reported me more is User:MariaJaydHicky

Anyhow, both the Jay Park and the Roc Nation articles have both been page protected because users keep adding unsourced content.

In the spirit of full disclosure (and to save "Zaboo" the hassle of trying to prove me wrong), Jay Park has signed with Roc Nation. But details have not been released, therefore we have no way to know if it is to the label or not. I mean, he could have signed with the same branch Robinson Cano signed with. Kellymoat (talk) 17:40, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

And since page protection was added (at my request) - how many times have I (or any user) reverted Jay Park? In fact, since page protection was added, how many times was Jay Park even edited? Kellymoat (talk) 18:24, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Comments:

User is very keen on not having page curation tags on the very under-sourced new article they have created on the Guizhou Institute of Technology. I warned them about 3RR when they were at 3 reverts, and also told them on their talk page (after the second removal) that removing tags from the article when the issues haven't been addressed is not appropriate. The user does not seem keen on actually improving the article, but rather seems devoted to disrupting the page curation process instead, going so far as to use the edit summary of "Referencing" to refer to their removal of tags. The editor's talk page clearly demonstrates a history of disruptive behaviour before this incident. Please block. — InsertCleverPhraseHere 12:06, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

The edit warring is even worse over on the first version of the article before it was draftified: Draft:Guizhou Institute of Technology. With removal of tags having started there, as well as removal of CSD tags. — InsertCleverPhraseHere 12:22, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

Comments by Steve Quinn:

User:RichardKnight's behavior is uncooperative, disruptive, eschews helpful feedback, and results in ownership issues. RichardKnight created Guizhou Institute of Technology on December 26, 2016 [192].

It can be seen this is a poorly made page fundamentally lacking according to Wikipedia standards.

By the time I came along seven months later, the article was still in such poor shape that I erroneously requested speedy delete [193].

The tag was appropriately contested and removed [194]. I then appropriately tagged the article for not citing sources, copy editing, and notability. I also removed superfluous material for clarity [195]. RichardKnight removed the tags [196].

I restored the tags with rationale [197] "Please do not remove tags without addressing the issues. This is article is poorly added to the mains space." I also left a message on their talk page [198].

I then moved the page to the draft space [199]. RichardKnight then created a content fork by recreating the page in the main space, for which I left a tag on the draft [200]. Richardknight blanked the draft space page [201]. The content fork still exists here. The content fork somehow has me as the creator and this is not the case (see edit history of that page).

Richardknight also contravened WP:NPA, leaving a message on my talk page accusing me of vandalism [202]. I noted that Richardnight has been engaged in troll-like behavior [203].

I also request a block for Richardknight. This action seems appropriate. I appreciate Insertcleverphrasehere bringing this issue to the Edit warring noticeboard. This situation is at the point where something needs to be done. Apologies for the length of this post, a lot happened in a short time. Steve Quinn (talk) 17:45, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

User:OnkelCharlie and User:Zamekrizeni have been engaged in an edit war over what I think are fairly minor changes to the article Braydon Hobbs for more than ten days. Yesterday I warned both users about edit warring and reverted the article back to a version that included Zamekrizeni's additions and OnkelCharlie promptly reverted my edits. Both editors' actions deserve scrutiny, but in my opinion Zamekrizeni at least tried to communicate with OnkelCharlie via edit summary and on the user's talk page and via edit summary. He/she also asked for help at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Basketball. He/she should have also started a conversation on the article talk page, but I contrast this behavior with OnkelCharlie, who has yet to communicate rationale behind his/her reversions. In my estimation, the two versions of the article are fairly close and aren't worth an edit war. As an uninvolved editor, I don't really care what action is taken, it is just disruptive and needs to stop. Rikster2 (talk) 13:21, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

Doug Weller has no idea about the moors he keep posting random modern images of Africans that has nothing to do with the history of the moors and he keep posting fake stuff that if you check the reference you will see no mention of what he is saying. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 51.235.83.22 (talk • contribs) 13:35, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

I've counted wrong. This IP (who has clearly been around this article before) was reverted by User:Aṭlas and User:Laszlo Panaflex once each. Doug Weller talk 12:48, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

As I said, changing a quote[244] and sourced text, both of which mention Berbers until the IP removed any mention of Berbers. Looks like the article needs protection again. Editing in bits as I'm baking! Doug Weller talk 12:56, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

the User:Doug Weller has no idea what he is talking about again, the book here which he is taking quote from is "Moorish Spain" By Richard Fletcher at page 10 the book used assumption without any reference or any evidence. what we know for sure and it was clear evidence it was invasion by the Umayyad Caliphate which is Arabic country and the army was heavily formed of "Qahtanite" arabs and later on "Qays" and later on they become rival. soo saying arabs where little on spain doesn't make sense51.235.83.22 (talk) 15:10, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Just to note not my quote (although the IP doesn't deny changing it although he/she clearly doesn't like it), just as I haven't posted random images, or indeed I believe any images, although I have quite some time ago reverted some deletions. I've asked for protection. 14:31, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Persistent nationalistic edit-warring to expand this list with entries from the ludicrous end of tenuous.

See history for the clearest view of this. It's past double bright-line by now.

Some discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Technology#National_invention_categories, where the only consistent calls seems to be multiple editors who favour deleting the entire tree as unworkable POV magnets.

It is also likely (quack) that this is yet another sockpuppet, see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Filipz123/Archive, although that has been rejected as "distinctive differences" (but those are unspecified).

Although not the instigator of this, those reading this should also be aware of Carlo0 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), who is probably in breach too. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:16, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

• And now TJH2018 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has joined in and started restoring stuff and issuing warnings, per Sheldonium:
• [245]
• [246]

They seem to be aware of this ANEW filing already, but have pitched in anyway. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:57, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

See this attack[[247]] and these deletions at the list of English inventions.[248] Doug Weller talk 20:16, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

• Blocked – 48 hours. Due a pattern of nationalist warring in favor of Croatian causes, it appears that Sheldonium is risking a topic ban under WP:ARBMAC. He continued to revert while this report was open, and declined an offer to avoid a block by promising to stop. EdJohnston (talk) 21:25, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
