This user seems to not respect other editor's edits what-so-ever. Instead, he just reverts edits as if this page belongs to him, and him only. I've made changes to try and satisfy him, added citations, etc. He just brings up NOR, NPOV and talks about edit wars. It is this type of editor who believes others' edits are not as worthy, that instigates edit wars, and makes Wikipedia an unpleasant experience. Check out this uncivil discussion, with himself maybe? [12] Now him and this anon (himself?) gang up on other editors to keep the page exactly as he wants. 192.45.72.26 (talk) 00:40, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Page protected. John Reaves 00:47, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Firstly, the 142.167 IP is not mine (see this diff in my userspace: [13]). I've also contacted the reporting user to try and reach a comprimise, which included asking him not to revert me [14]. When I "just bring up" WP:NOR, WP:NPOV and WP:EW, I feel I'm perfectly right to do so; the user originally used no sources in his edits and he later proclaimed who the most famous line-up of Guns N' Roses are. Which is why I linked to WP:NOR and WP:NPOV. Funeral 00:49, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

What? Is your memory not functioning? You were the one who brought up the words famous first [15], and I tried to please you by changing my edit. You don't discuss things, from your edit history you just go around reverting many edits which are not your own. You don't appear to have any sense of compromise. I clarified the statement, and started to add citations that show that in popular media they are referred to (wrongly or rightly so) as the original lineup. Still you reverted. So you were intersted in compromise?? I doubt it. Users like yourself should get a nice week ban for all your reversions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.45.72.26 (talk) 00:57, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, they were the most famous line-up of the band, but that's still considered point of view. I didn't mean to say we should put that in the article. And I deserve a band for reverting a lot of/mostly vandalism? Sounds fair. Funeral 01:03, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

The thing is Funeral, is I don't know if you have a good sense of what is really vandalism. Edits that "Funeral doesn't like" do not necessarily constitute vandalism. I was there trying to satisfy you, you were making good points. I added citations, and then all I get is these harsh comments that you make towards me and your anon friend. What is the need to act like that dude? I am on here trying to make some edits and I get accused of being a fanboy or of fancruft. Please be professional. It is common usage in the media to rever to those guys as the "original line-up". I didn't say these guys ARE THE ORIGINAL LINEUP, I merely clarified. Most people, fans or not, who know Guns N' Roses, do think of these five as the original members. The article is very precise in how the group was formed, but there is no disaster with adding the sentence I did. You should really be more open-minded to others' edits, or you just get this needless battling, with people who probably just want good articles like I assume you do! Assume good faith, and try being friendly to new people on here. Man... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.45.72.26 (talk) 01:16, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

But your citations didn't actually support your claim: you just linked to a news article which referred to the 1986-1989 band as the original line-up - you weren't actually supporting your claim that they are "often referred to as the 'original lineup'". Funeral 01:20, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, then you could of simply asked me to look for more or better citations if you had issue with them. You don't have to just wipe out others' edits and make disparaging remarks like "fan boy".

Hey folks. This page isn't really for disputes. Could you move this to your talk pages or the article talk page or something? Thanks. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 01:22, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

One of the "wikignome" tasks I enjoy is improving the overall standard of the project by setting wikidates to either International Dating or American Dating format, as per the Manual of Style. I noticed that the birthdate in Alan Parsons was displaying incorrectly, and corrected it. User:WebHamster reverted it, and revealed in an extraordinary series of abusive messages that he was unaware of how date preferences work, whilst accusing me of the same, ignoring my explanations and suggestions that he inform himself as to the MoS guidelines and the template instructions. I have been doing this minor work for some time, as anyone may see, and I keep myself informed. Given the attitude of this user, as shown in the following diffs, I request some action be taken.

Pete (talk) 14:11, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Anyone also perusing those diffs will also notice that Skyring has also breached the 3RR limit. I perceived his changes as vandalism due to his deleting the {{Template:Death date and age}} in the infobox and hard-coding the date in spite of the fact that the preferred method in the musical artist infobox is to use the template. I considered this to be vandalism and reverted accordingly. If an interested admin will also note that I did not revert any of the hard-coded dates which were changed by Skyring. In messages to me I try to explain, unsuccessfully, that template derived dates display differently depending upon user preferences or system settings. Also that WP:MOS#date does not applied to template derived dates, and it most certainly doesn't recommend deleting template inclusions in favour of a hard-coded world date format. --WebHamster 14:56, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

It appears that WebHamster is unaware of the documentation of the template he uses, which contradicts his forceful statements here and elsewhere. --Pete (talk) 15:01, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Of course I'm aware of the documentation, though I would like you to narrow down in it where you think I've gone wrong, then whilst you're at it point me at the related bit in WP:MOS#date that justifies what you are doing deleting the recommended templated age/date code. I consider your changes with regard to deleting the template inclusion as out and out vandalism based on a skewed understanding of MoS. Whilst you have a minute I recommend you re-read the link I gave you with regard to the "Born" element of the musical artist infobox--WebHamster 15:11, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

While these may not appear to be strict reverts, I feel a close examination will show otherwise. Enverite (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is suspected of being a sock of PeaceThruSuperiorFirepower (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). The apparent goal of these editors is to give Davis Roberts equal credit for starting G&D's and/or deny George Stroup sole billing. Their only edits are in relation to this article. PeaceThruSuperiorFirepower (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) had previously reverted twice in the last 24 hours, here and here. Enverite then pick up the task. It's only when their combined reverts approach the fourth in 24 hours does Enverite switch to blanking the paragraph about the founders entirely. Either combined with the suspected sock or alone, it seems clear the intent to violate 3RR is there.

I have tried to come to a compramise and incorporate a short explination of the very contentious legal dispute but every addition and new source i have added has simply been removed and replaced with only the view of the Israeli Government. This has become a nationalist POV page which doesnt so much as mention the view of the rest of the world or the international community. Gilo has a very contentious legal foundation which has come to the worlds and medias attention. I think it is important to note this and not simply the view of one government - who, at least in this case, uses the term 'neighborhood' to conjure up images of an area of a city having been rightfully inhabited for a long time, when this is simply not the case. He has made more than 4 full reverts in less than 12 hours and something like 12 edits in 12 hours which further reverted valid additions and sources.

"Atlan" continues to delete relevent information without providing any reason. He has misinterpreted the WP rule regarding song lyrics, and is using that as an excuse to randomly delete information. He constantly monitors the Boston College page and seems to treat it as his own personal webpage. He has flatly refused to engage in any discussion of the matter (when I suggested he start a discussion to explain why he keeps randomly deleting information, he replied "do it yourself.") He has also refused to compromise. When I suggested that we could compromise by posting the disputed BC fight song lyrics elsewhere and simply linking to them from the main BC page, he just continued to "undo" my changes without compromise or discussion. 170.63.96.108 (talk) 13:21, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

An anonymous user has been editing the Ritchie Jones article to state that Jones has been allowed a free transfer from Manchester United. They also claim that this has been reported on Manchester United's official television channel, Manchester United TV. However, I have been unable to find a source for this on the internet, and so I reverted the anon's edit. They then undid my edit, stating that I was vandalising the article. After their third revert, I issued them with a 3RR warning, and reverted their edit. They have now reverted my edits for a fourth time in the last seven hours, so I am reporting the issue here. The anon claims to be Jones' agent, but this cannot be verified either, and also represents a Conflict of Interest issue. – PeeJay 15:59, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

• Diff of 3RR warning: [39]

A short explanation of the incident. Octavian history (talk) 05:00, 27 January 2008 (UTC) User Teleomatic has reverted the same section on Hajj Amin Elahi page 4 times within 24 hours. I have warned him many times in the past about the 3RR rule, but he simply deleted my warning. He keeps removing valid citations and will not stop. I need help stoping this guy. Thanks--Octavian history (talk) 05:00, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I am not sure this qualifies as 3RR, though I would say that there is an edit war in progress. Teleomatic reported that he checked these citations, and that the given page numbers do not corroborate the assertions made in the article. He tagged the article with {{citecheck}}, and a few days later, removed the citations and replaced them with {{fact}}. Octavian_history has since replaced the {{fact}} tags with the original citations, but this time without the page numbers ([40]). The last such undo of Teleomatic's edits was made by a brand new account, User:Kurdestani ([41]). The article's talk page will quickly reveal that there is an edit war in progress (Octavian_history also received a 3RR warning, from me ([42]); yesterday the article itself was re-posted to AfD. If anyone else would care to weigh in on that article's talk page, it would be appreciated. Also note that one of the warnings Octavian_history gave to Teleomatic was an actual block notification ([43], reposted: [44]; as of this writing, Teleomatic has not received a block). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 06:42, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

• Benjiboi is an editor for almost two years. I have been in trouble with him about this before so he positively knows the rule. If any diff is needed, then this proves that he has been warned before and acknowledged the warning.

Benjiboi is very protective of his cherished version of the Rosie O'Donnel article, trying (for reasons unknown, probably POV) to retain certain not actually relevant information and certain wordings. His behaviour is a also a clear violation of WP:OWN as he repeatedly asks those editors to revert to brings to talk to "decide" the issue (apparently with him as final arbiter) without posting on talk himself. He did this to me (even though we have been through the issues some time last year), he did this to another editor today. He also uses false statements in his edit summaries (talking about changing a quote when there is no quote) while ignoring other people's edit summaries.

Well, I will accept a certain knowledge on that particular article as I have personally gone through most every bit of that article sourcing items that needed it and verifying interesting items being removed as a part of vandalism or POV-pushing in any direction. I don't see that I have prohibited anyone from editing but I will take a firm stance against removing sources, altering quotes to switch out "pedophilia" for "child abuse" and otherwise violating BLP issues I will also do the same and have done so on other BLP. Str1977 and I have been on this page before on nearly identical content with this article because they were edit warring and, as in this case, continued to do so until encouraged to utilize talk pages before again deleting content and altering quotes etc. I turned to 3rr last time as a last resort because no amount of reasoning would convince them that a press release and a right-wing blog were rather poor sources. The article remain stable for some time then they appeared again to change content to show the subject in a less than stellar light. On the article's talk pages seems filled with this user's determination to prove O'Donnell is anti-Catholic. I have consistently persisted that reliable sources were and are the best way to demonstrate this and have stated so and remained extremely communicative with anyone wishing to have open discussion. Str1977's has tended to simply delete material until compelled to dialog. I have also show a good faith effort, I believe, to trim material and add clarity so content was more neutral and hopefully more acceptable. In fairness I can see that Str1977 and Mamalujo, another ardent pro-Catholic editor would be upset about assertions of pedophile priests existing but that is the subject of Deliver Us from Evil and that is what was discussed. Benjiboi 17:11, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Please also see user's post to my talk page[45]. Benjiboi 17:15, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Benjiboi, don't try to switch the subject. That your accusations of other people changig quotes is false is beside the point here - you have violated the 3R-rule. No, you continue by personal attacks on mine and another editors religion and issue nonsensical, off-topic demands. Str1977 ^(talk) 17:20, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

I take strong offense that you have continued to claim that I have lied/deceived and engage in personal attacks. Those were sourced quotes (both in quotation marks) you both were changing to edit out "pedophilia". You were also continually removing sources which I continue to see as problematic. I never attacked you or your religion and, in fact, stated I think it's a diservice to Catholics to characterize O'Donnell as anti-Catholic as that mitigates the damage actual anti-Catholics do. I'm also not changing the subject nor have I "issue nonsensical, off-topic demands". On my talk page you also wrote "Probably some POV nonsense. But please don't bother explaining as I actually don't care." Well I do care and have worked many months to improve the article and add sourcing, clarity and to correct errors. If something on the article is wrong we should correct it but that doesn't mean we change history to our liking. If something she said isn't true then we should produce a WP:RS to demonstrate that and figure out how to neutrally present both aspects. "O'Donnell said X but Y is actually true." Benjiboi 17:54, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Even if all this were true (and it isn't), you still are not allowed to revert six times. Get it? Now stop this futile discussion. 3RR applies to all, even if they think they are in the right. Str1977 ^(talk) 18:05, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Edit warring on Deadly nightshade. Dlabtot (talk) 21:33, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I only see 3 diffs. AN3 is for reverts in excess of 3. If this is an issue relating to arbcom enforcement or something, it should go to WP:AE. If you believe the page should be protected because of an edit war, you can make that request at WP:RFP. To be honest, though, having the same argument repeatedly occur across every article dealing with homeopathy or that someone claims is a homeopathic remedy is silly. --B (talk) 21:44, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

(ec)This is not an issue with ArbCom enforcement as it clearly has nothing to do with incivility (which is what the remedies have prescribed please see Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Martinphi-ScienceApologist#ScienceApologist restricted for details) and SA seems to have stopped edit warring and has begun talking. No action needed here. nat.utoronto 21:50, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

This is yet another in the series of unending complaints against Science Apologist, who is under civility patrol from arbcom but no other editing restrictions. Because SA has made great strides to improve his civility over time, editors who are opposed to his strong views on content have sought other remedies to distract and anger him either in the hopes an adminstrator will be duped into agreement or that he will be brought to anger, and thus violate his patrol. There are serious deficiencies in this report that lead me to believe that the complainer should be strongly warned that such behavior not continue. I will list them below.

1. The warning listed is dated after the reverts. Why would someone warn someone, have that person not revert again, and still report them?
2. The warning listed is not even a warning! It's a notification that this thread has been filed. Why no warning?
3. There are only three reverts, not four. Not an entitlement blah blah blah blah. The reporter chose not to report the reverts of User:Levine2112, nor User:Anthon01 - because this is not an attempt to stop edit warring, but to silence one side of a pathetic edit war.

As SA's unofficial civility mentor and advocate, I will not warn Dlabtot for his disruptive behavior, as it would be seen as unnecessarily combative, but I certainly hope someone does. PouponOnToast (talk) 22:04, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I apologize, at first I thought this edit was included, but I see that it's technically not a revert. The edit-warring on this article by User:ScienceApologist, User:PouponOnToast, User:Orangemarlin, User:Anthon01 and User:Levine2112 does not technically violate the 3 revert rule, I suppose because of the tag-team editing that is taking place. My apologies for raising a false report. Dlabtot (talk) 22:10, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

If you thought that edit was included, why didn't you include it in your report? Any comment as to your "warning?" How about your failure to report, or even mention Travisthurston, who ground out three reverts from 18:15, 19 January 2008 to 20:04, 20 January 2008 and specifically mentioned his intent to game 3rr? ([52]). PouponOnToast (talk) 22:21, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

This is a case of take yes for an answer. I don't know what the right answer is for addressing the nonsense/tagteaming/edit warring/everything else that is playing itself out across every article remotely related to someone's concept of homeopathy, but this noticeboard is soley for dealing with actual violations of 3RR, not for solving all of Wikipedia's ills. --B (talk) 22:56, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I think that the abuse of IPs is self-evident - 136's only edits are today, picking up ongoing arguments by the main account on two different pages. 75 is a little less glaringly obvious, but also shares intrests in the same articles (ie Woman Holding a Balance) and a similar prose style to the main account.

It is obvious that Vary has clones on that page. He has reverted the page multiple times using multiple names. Most of the edits done were not the same edit, except his removal which is the same. If you noticed, the wording for each time changed. User Vary is User "Bkonrad" and "WGoldfarb". Notice that not one addresses the issue, and that they keep trying to remove cited information.

That was some heavy kind of revert warring, I decided that the best if to protect the page for two weeks. _→AzaToth 13:41, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

The admin, at first, protected the latest version of the article but then turned around and deeply reverted it. I did not request page protection. I requested that something be done about the person who blatantly violated three. The admin has opted instead sided with the rule-breaker and impose page protection. Why should we have any rule if admins can just ignore it? Are admins just instructed to ignore all rules?--Leaveout (talk) 15:22, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Even if said person broke 3RR, all the participants in the dispute is guilty of an edit war, and I think you can solve this on the talk page. _→AzaToth 15:25, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

The reverters have simply attacked the editor on the talk page. They never dealt with the issues. No progress can be made if lazy editors and administrators are just going to attack the editor on the talk page and hit the undo button. Tomixdf deliberately and blatantly broke the rules and the administrator has supported his action and is ever more guilty of violating the rules. Tomixdf received not so much as a warning for his blatant violation of the rules. This can only mean that there is something terribly wrong about AzaToth being an administrator at all.--Leaveout (talk) 15:30, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

• Diff of 3RR warning: 10:09, 31 January 2008

The editor is undertaking wholescale removal involving numerous WP:3RRs over a number of articles removing an infobox relating to spiritualistic topics. [ [56] without prior discussion. he is also making numerous page revisionary page moves to support his position. [57]. [58], [59] ... the last of which I underline as it demonstrates a SERIOUS misunderstanding of the use of the term Spiritualism (philosophy) Spiritualism within philosophy, see Feuerbach, Ludwig Andreas (1863/4). "Concerning Spiritualism and Materialism, 1863/4". and spiritualism as animism.

I have since engaged him in discussion and he appears to be having specific issue with the use of the term spiritualism or spiritualistic, which he appears to appreciate solely as used to refer to Modern Spiritualism or Modern American Spiritualism. Of course, the literature, of which there are numerous citations on the topic page disagrees with him.

I have attempted to discuss this with him but am unable to gain any opposing citations and so have to presume that he has some personal issue with the use of the terminology. To attempt to underline the specificity of my argument, I empasise his confusion over the use of the world Spiritualism in philosophy (as relating to the opposing school of Materalism) with spiritualism as a religion or even animism.

In his defence, this may be cultural as the history of European philosophy has given quite a different meaning to the one he has limited his mind to, e.g. the American religion (and I am not promoting it!) but I am absolute in the references I have provided to demonstrate the widespread use of the word elsewhere and its international history and connections. I also note that Neal has never entered into any of the discussion on the topic pages themselves but rather demonstrates too broad or blunt understanding of the words usuage and continues to make confused assertions about claims that I have never made, e.g. spiritualist as Hindusim [60], or ridiculously that Modern Spiritualism (C19th) was the root of all religions! [61].

The template was also a subject of a nomination for deletion and survived [62].

Help ... Lucyintheskywithdada (talk) 10:39, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

This user doesn't appear to understand what reverts are. I removed an info box per WP:WEIGHT because it placed a heavy emphasis on spiritualism despite it being a New Age subject. That's an edit. I noticed a second info box and removed that, an edit (that's the first two diffs listed). These are not reverts, they are edits. This user then came in and reverted my edits for the first time (1RR)[63], to which I reverted theirs (1RR)[64]. The user then came in and reverted me again (2RR)[65], to which I made my second revert (2RR)[66]. I made no other reverts after that. In fact, I posted a notice to my talk page[67] explaining my two reverts, why I did them, and that I wouldn't be doing any more. However, the user then came in and reverted me again (3RR)[68] and then filed this complaint after I warned him/her of 3RR[69]. I made two initial edits, not reverts, and two reverts of his/her reverts. He/she reverted me three times. This complaint was filed after my warning him/her, so it was filed in 1) bad faith and 2) without reason, because I told him/her explicitly that I was tired of dealing with his/her POV pushing through info boxes and wasn't going to bother with it for now, even after their last revert. They're clearly on a crusade of some sort that I don't understand. If you read the user's talk page, you'll see that other editors have complained about the info boxes as well, and the editor edit warred with them too. Also note that other editors have started to remove these misplaced info boxes as well [70] [71] [72] (after my edits) when he/she seems to be the only one who thinks they should be there, enough to revert me three times stopping short only when I call her on it. For the editor to be assuming some sort of moral high ground after making 3 reverts to my 2 is ridiculous.

Further, another user has suggested that User:Lucyintheskywithdada is a sock puppet of User:Lwachowski[73], an editor banned for trolling. So while assuming good faith and just a misunderstanding of what reverts are, I'd like to see a WP:CHECKUSER to confirm one way or the other because his/her actions certainly seem like trolling to me. If any action is taken on me for my two reverts, I request that a private or public check user be performed first (per "reverts to undo actions performed by banned users or currently blocked users evading their block" from WP:3RR).

--Nealparr ^{(talk to me)} 11:23, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

The user also threatens to continue reverting edits every day, [74] Action started without any discussion, never mind provocation.

A similar ding-ding happened on the main topic page Spiritualism where Neal moved it without any discussion or seeking consensus and confusing history etc. The first entirely inappropriate from an academic point of view, [75], then rvs [76] and here; [77].

The user also accused me of starting this page, which I did not; and it being split from Spiritualism (religious movement) without discussion, when there was a month's discussion on that page. Again, no references or citation to substantiate position. I think he might have an issue with the American religion attached to spiritualism but, again, that is not my position nor the general usage in academia these days as the references show very well. --Lucyintheskywithdada (talk) 13:28, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Again, bad faith filing. The user complains about my 2 reverts, when the editor is still reverting on these articles HOURS AFTER FILING THIS on Extrasensory perception.

1st revert

2nd revert

3rd revert

4th revert (after filing this 3RR)

Talk about glass houses. The user is on a POV crusade. I said after 2 reverts that I won't be dealing with her/him at this time and stopped removing these info boxes, despite their obvious desire to stamp this stupid info box everywhere (spam). But he/she apparently can't stop what they're doing, and they file this why?

Please also look at the infobox template I was removing (the template the user is edit warring to include): {{Spiritualistic_small}}, which contains links to a minor religious view and the Spiritualist Church. It also says "Part of a series on Spiritualistic topics", claiming categorical ownership of the article. I only removed it from articles not directly related by prominence to Spiritualism, for example the article on Spirit and non-religious paranormal related articles. Lucyintheskywithdada has been placing this info box on any article with the smallest connection to Spiritualism (like the article shared by all religions, spirit) and this is completely non-commercial spamming of the Spiritualist Church and beliefs. And the user is STILL edit warring to put this spam in (4th revert)! It's spam when placed on articles not predominantly related to Spiritualism. I wasted a lot of time in good faith trying to explain that to Lucyintheskywithdada last night, but she apparently just doesn't care. --Nealparr ^{(talk to me)} 17:12, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

The template in question is clearly being spammed into inappropriate articles by User:Lucyintheskywithdada. For example, she placed the template at the top of the page in the Edward Burnett Tylor article--Tylor was a founding figure in anthropology, who happened to do some work on animism. User:Lucyintheskywithdada apparently thinks that the first thing the reader needs to see when looking up Tylor is her massive template on Spiritualistic topics. Nealparr was doing good work in removing the template from unrelated articles. --Anthon.Eff (talk) 16:18, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Anyhow, I see that another user has since removed the list which was reinsinuated by a User:Pgreenfinch, so you may want to consider further actions or scrutiny regarding this. Quizimodo (talk) 00:06, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Another user, User:Lodp, has reinserted the list, with similar reasons and phrasing as other supporters of this list.[80] I find it highly unlikely that the anon IP, Pgreenfinch, and Lodp have taken the same position regarding this 'list' and suspect sockpuppetry of some sort.

Edit War on United Kingdom reported by User:Dan1980 (Result: No violation by any party)

• User:Sarah777, User:JdeJ and User:Keizuko are involved in an edit war on United Kingdom, and are "teaming-up" to continuously replace the same controversial statement despite there being no consensus on the article talk page. Time reported: 14:42, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

The paragraph in question is backed up by a citation, howvever, the article that this links to appears to be sensationalism and is contradicted by several other reliable sources. I have previously warned User:Sarah777 and User:JdeJ with regard to the 3RR, which resulted in personal attacks against myself from both users and a frivolous sockpuppetry claim from User:JdeJ. All of the parties involved have been invited on several occasions to gain consensus on the article talk page, however they have so far declined to do this and have instead opted to continue reverting edits without entering further discussion. Dan1980 (talk | stalk) 14:42, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Result: No party listed here appears to have violated, even the spirit, of 3RR. There have been no more than a couple of reverts by any of the users over the last few days. It may be that greater effort to engage in dialogue would be useful, but there is no edit warring that I can see. TigerShark (talk) 22:01, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

• 2nd revert: 20:24
• 3rd revert: 20:35
• 4th revert: 21:29 (a revert both substantially and technically, though not perfectly identically; see below)

• No 3rr warning was given to G2bambino this time, but the he is well aware of 3rr, having had many past warnings and blocks, and he even warned the other party of having breached 3rr, after he'd made his own 4th revert.

This edit-war was between a monarchist, G2bambino, and a republican, MC Rufus, over the latter's deletion of the sentence beginning, "However, attendance was...". The reverts shown above restored the sentence (or at least its substance and some of its particular words). The first two reverts simply restored the sentence as-was. The third did likewise, but was followed consecutively with two more edits by G2, which added a reference and then moved the sentence's last few words into the reference. The diff above is that of the restoration, leaving aside the two follow-ups edits. The 4th revert restores most of the same material, but re-written to say the exact same thing in almost none of the exact same words: "However" becomes "though", "low" becomes "not numerous", and so on. It restores "Andrew Nichols", though, so it is also a revert technically, even if the revert-in-substance is not enough.

MC Rufus also broke 3rr, and even did so first. On the other hand, MC does not have G2's long history of edit-warring, 3rr violations, and consequent blocks.

See also G2's recent edit-warring on Citizens for a Canadian Republic:

• 3 reverts of the same thing on 31 January
• 4 reverts between 18:14, 28 January and 19:46, 29 January, including repeated re-addings of a plainly unencyclopedic external link to a video mocking CCR.

Notification of violation of 3RR: 0:743 21 January 2008

His first revision,

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=SCSI&diff=187797480&oldid=187688266

We both violated the rule on Jan 30^th, in my case unknowingly. Note that unaware of the policy I none the less posted to his talk page, to which he never responded. Following the policy, I backed off and then after a cooling off period stating my intentions in the [SCSI talk page] and then made what i believe to clearly be a set of meaningful changes, consistent with the 3RR policy. I changed the page back to a corrected version of the original text, added a correction to the date and other additional information. ILike2BeAnonymous in his zeal to own this page immediately reverted the entire edit and again on 3 Feb; he has even gone so far as to suppress the date correction supported by a reference. He seems to think he has the right to decide that any mention of SASI other than what he wants to say cannot be posted. In the section marked history, it seems to me that the initmate relationship between SASI and SCSI is not TMI as he asserts. FWIW, the principal differences between SASI and SCSI-1 was the name change, with a some feature additions. He has made this assertion a number of times without justification and continues to do so in spite of the referenced citations added. He continues to not respond to comments on the talk page and simply reverts saying he does not accept or agree or words to that effect. I request that he be blocked from further changes.Tom94022 (talk) 06:57, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

The only other user who removed this content as well is someone who has admitted that he is a believer of the FSB theory, so these users are removing the counterargument. If user wants to say that this information is irrelevant then how does he explain the "other user who finds it irrelevant"'s reversion which reinserted these entries to the chronology which have nothing to do with the chronology of the bombings - "July 1998: Vladimir Putin was appointed Director of the FSB."

This user keep removing content which he doesn't like while including the other "irrelevant" information in the article along with another user who has admitted that he believes the FSB theory.Miyokan (talk) 12:00, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

I didn't add any other information like you're claiming. Your information is irrelevant as its from years before and after the event which the page is about. The other user is allowed to have his personal opinion. - PietervHuis (talk) 12:07, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

If user wants to claim that this information is irrelevant then how does he explain the "other user who finds it irrelevant"'s reversion which reinserted these entries to the chronology which have nothing to do with the chronology of the bombings - "July 1998: Vladimir Putin was appointed Director of the FSB."

A short explanation of the incident: User has added a flag that is generally regarded as not accurate; however, the other editors to the page are willing to be convinced if proof is available. Other editors have removed this user's edits for various reasons such as positioning of edit and reliability of content, user reverts without explanation.

Since this, user has placed several edits that would appear to be in bad faith as a result of the other reversions. Changing "village" to "city", changing the Scottish clans associated with the place, removing pronounciations, removing Gaidhlig equivalents. Normally, this behaviour would result in a vandalism warning.

He's continuing to vandalise, I don't see any constructive edits in his edit history. Lurker (said · done) 18:40, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Reply - only two of three of those are direct reverts. The first and second are a rewrite of what happened and actually could be considered one edit if I hadn't hit save page too quickly before reading exactly what I wrote, and, may I point out, there's no revision in between #1 and #2, therefore #2 cannot be a separate revert. I have not surpassed 3RR but am dangerously close. Regardless, it is obvious this report is out of spite over the fact that Bleek25 has over 6 reverts to the page, has received the appropriate warnings, been requested to discuss the matter, and still continues to revert twice now after the warning. An investigation will show, I have followed all guidelines while Bleek25 chooses to ignore them. IrishLass (talk) 13:58, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

This is about an heated, endless and inconclusive debate about whether line breaks or commas should be used to delimit genres in infoboxes (see here). In this case, editor is enforcing his preferred version rather harshly. Multiple reverts since middle of January. ~ | twsx | ^talk_cont | ~ 23:22, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Although I partly agree with Twsx (about the inconclusive issue) he has no right to report me. First of all yes, I was reverting someone on the Rush page because they were violating an armistice. I warned them about 3RR and edit warring first only to then be warned myself that I was violating both (utterly ridiculous since I'm only keeping up an agreed armistce to stop edit warring). Twsx also has no right to report me as he has been warned many times and is a known edit warrer who, until a couple days ago, has continued to edit war on at least two pages only to be reverted by me and others. I would like a definitive answer to the genre delimiter issue, but since one is not forthcoming, I protect pages and make sure that they stay in their form (whether its comma breaks or line breaks) so this: "editor is enforcing his preferred version rather harshly" is ridiculous. I do prefer line breaks but I try to keep allpages they way they are (whether that be line breaks or comma breaks). I should not even have to defend myself against these claims but I have no choice as I have reported users like Twsx in the past only to be laughed at (since the editors thought the genre delimiter deabte trivial). I reall don't know what else to say. Blizzard Beast ^$ODIN$ 23:38, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I should add that User:Twsx has many many times over broken 3RR and that the 156-multiple-IP-user who I am having this issue with on Rush has also broken 3RR. Blizzard Beast ^$ODIN$ 23:40, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

• Blocked – for a period of 24 hours – Multiple editors seemed to have a problem with the formatting changes, yet this user was the only one reverting them (presumably against consensus). For the record, an article won't get demoted from featured article status over such a minor formatting issue (honestly, I've seen both formatting methods on various pages), but it is more likely to get demoted for constant edit warring and instability. I also would, in the future, avoid using the term "armistice," since this encyclopedia is not a battleground, so there aren't any treaties. We work on consensus and the process of changing consensus— not military treaties set in stone. Consider using the talk page in the future. --slakr^\ talk / 00:18, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

• Diff of 3RR warning: 01:49, 6 February 2008

I think the user should be blocked if he fails to heed the 3RR warning. If he self-reverts I do not think he should be blocked. But that is my opinion; I don't know what the usual practice is; he's been a user for 2 years and appears familiar enough with the rules. The fact that he has edited for two years as basically a single-purpose account may be relevant (he has mostly edited this article alone). csloat (talk) 09:00, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

The edit war seems to have stopped and Bueller has not touched the page since the warning. It's customary to warn someone before reporting them. Closing with no action for now. Stifle (talk) 11:03, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

So 4 reverts is OK then? Shouldn't bueller have self-reverted? Is it ok for me to revert him now (which would be my fourth revert)? Can an admin at least explain to bueller that he has violated the rule and that such action normally would lead to a block? The only reason he stopped reverting is because his last revert is the last change on the page. csloat (talk) 16:53, 6 February 2008 (UTC) PS I did warn Bueller before reporting him. csloat (talk) 16:53, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Explanation given.

The intention given is that a warning should be given and ignored (i.e. a further revert made afterwards) before a relatively new user is reported and blocked. Stifle (talk) 17:33, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Is two years still considered relatively new around here? I didn't even think a warning was necessary given the user seemed familiar with the rules but I gave one anyway just because I didn't want to seem punitive about it. Anyway I appreciate you commenting on his talk page; a warning from the person he's edit warring with is not nearly as likely to be heeded as a warning from an uninvolved admin. csloat (talk) 18:24, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

• Diff of 3RR warning: 13:12, 6 February 2008, although he had already made a report himself.

This user broke 3RR. These are his main reverts, but actually he deleted others' contributions many times during the day. Among others he is deleting text from the article and the references supporting them. He made controversial changes without discussion first.
On the 17th/18th of January he already broke 3RR at the article Trenčín[130] without being reported, but this time he doesn't seem to stop. He called my 3RR warning 'inflammatory, rude' and a 'personal attack'. Squash Racket (talk) 15:01, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Is the third revert a real revert? It seems more like expansion and the "fourth" revert is the real revert to this new version. That would make only three reverts in 24 hours. The edit war between Svetovid, Hobartimus, and Squash Racket appears to be over now anyway because the article is now listed in Wikipedia:Requested moves and users are engaged in a discussion on the article's talk page. But I might be too optimistic, of course. Tankred (talk) 16:15, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

The third revert is just like the others and in fact he made way more disruptive edits in 24 hours than just four. Squash Racket (talk) 16:20, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Svetovid has engaged in disruptive behaviour, and it cannot be permitted to continue: the user is Blocked – for a period of 12 hours Additionally, I have issued a warning to Squash Racket, who was also engaging in edit warring, although admittedly to less a degree than that to which Svet. was. Hopefully all the parties can move on, and engage in meaningful discussion, with the aim of working towards a compromise, rather than disrupting the article.

• Diff of 3RR warning: 19:54 12 November 2007

User Lear 21 has persistently edited this page agressively including violations of 3RR whenever the page is not to his liking. The page has twice been locked from editing over content disputes where Lear was the major party on one side of the dispute, and he engaged in multiple violation reverts. It is no more likely that locking the page for a third time will discourage lear from continuing this behaviour in the future than it has been thus far. Last time this happened I checked and noted policy that locking a page for a content dispute is discouraged. Perhaps some other action can be taken this time? Sandpiper (talk) 01:39, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

User Lear 21 has not violated 3RR according to Wikipedia policies. The user has reestablished a consensus layout/section-heading already existing for more than half a year and is supported by several editors. User Lear 21 has argued for this consensus version at the talk page this time and is still supported by a majority. The accusing User Sandpiper and another user have instead developed a long history of disruptive editing vandalizing majority consensus at the EU article. Without gaining support of their proposals at the discussion forum. The listed 5 reverts are different edits and indicate no violation of any suggested policy. Lear 21 (talk) 02:41, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Quite the contrary. There is no requirement that all edits be the same in order for them to qualify: any four reverts, in whole or in part, count. More importantly, Lear is very clearly edit warring. This is to say, he is essentially attempting to force his version (the one saying "Economy") through by repeatedly reverting. Because of the rather long history he has with edit warring, I have blocked for three weeks. SouthernElectric has also been edit warring, and therefore I have blocked for 24 hours (this being a first offence). Heimstern Läufer (talk) 03:06, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

What policy justifies a 3 week block? All edits are clearly different, are backed at the talk page by the majority of editors and have argued in detail by myself !!!! I am merely upholding a consensus layout. There is clearly no violation. Please reconsider the decision. Lear 21—Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.179.10.76 (talk) 03:13, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

This person is retaliating over a tag I placed for an image rename Image:Egyptians.jpg to Egyptian collage.jpg. I first had Egyptian people collage, but shortened it because of his revert, and rude edit summary. No communication from him, except for short rude comments. In fact, he is the one who kept reverting after I tried to explain the reason, and broke the 3RR rule. It is NOT an article, it is a tag to leave to the admin to decide if it is better to name it to the new, more DESCRIPTIVE name. That's all. ←Gee♥Alice 01:56, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm not willing to block because both users are edit warring. Of course, if it turns out that GeeAlice is an abusive sock, it will be fine to revert him/her again, but in the meantime, please don't edit war here. I'll be watching the page to make sure no one does. Thanks. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 02:46, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

CheckUser confirmed identity and user was indefinitely blocked. And I wouldn't be "editing warring" if I wasn't certain it was an abusive sockpuppet, though this should be mor patently obvious to someone who's interacted with the user. — Zerida 19:50, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

A short explanation of the incident. Soulscanner (talk) 04:19, 7 February 2008 (UTC) Removal of various POV tags that identify passages and sources currently being verified and discussed on talk page.

This report is not unexpected, rather limited in scope, and of course one-sided. This disruptive editor has been placing 'dubious' and 'neutrality' tags on various assertions in 'Dominion' that said editor disagrees with despite the sources fully conforming with Wikipedia policies (some accompanied by quotes) and with little justification, doing so without good faith or salient reason, and with misleading commentaries on the talk page. In essence, this editor is unable to compel through argument and/or sourcing, with similar behaviour going back to related edits on 'Canada' in Sep./Oct., and said placement of tags on selected notions herein is a a hyper-reaction. This editor has also initiated an arbitration case regarding this, without making salient attempts to seek mediation despite claims -- again, a hyper-reaction. As per my request on the RfA page and as a result of said editor's continual dickery, I hereby request the 'Dominion' article be locked until further notice. Moreover, since it takes two to tango, any administrative actions taken against me (and I may have violated 3RR) should be exacted upon Soulscanner too. I contend this report is arguably an attempt to quell opposition. In any event, I hereby pledge to refrain from edit warring on this article, and to not be drawn into additional edit wars with this editor. Quizimodo (talk) 04:24, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

It's customary to warn people and give them a final chance before reporting them here. As Quizimodo was not warned and has agreed to stop edit warring, I am not going to block on this occasion. Soulscanner did not violate 3RR, stopping before the fourth revert. Stifle (talk) 10:27, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

A short explanation of the incident. The pattern here is clear. In this old edit war the editors in question replaced a number of descriptors for Canada (federation, federal state, etc.) with words containing the word Dominion. User:G2bambino would continue the edit war stopped by User:Quizimodo when informed of violating 3RR rule. This is over the same content issue as the current Dominion article, and the same pattern is employed. I do not wish to be drawn into a similar edit war in the case above, but I do not want relevant neutrality tags removed in the case above either. I did not put this 3RR violation here before because it was the first time I'd seen it, and made a request to pp-dispute lock on the page, which was granted and made the 3RR report unnecessary. Please see link to Edit history page. Soulscanner (talk) 08:08, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

The person who had the audacity to file that frivolous report is none other that the banned User:Mykungfu/ReadyToLive/UnclePaco, etc, etc.

He's been using several IPs to revert the Dominican Republic article to the same basic version, in the process undoing the work several good-faith editors have done over the past week. Here's a list of his reverts:

• 00:11, 7 February 2008 IP: 67.87.197.9
• 23:55, 6 February 2008 IP: 67.87.197.9

• 03:30, 3 February 2008 IP: 66.152.198.210

Other vandalism also by 66.152.198.210:

• 08:32, 3 February 2008
• 05:05, 3 February 2008 (notice he actually calls it vandalism himself)
• 03:28, 3 February 2008.

And also this, by 150.210.176.64, which seems related to 150.210.226.2:

• 22:31, 1 February 2008.

I'm not the only one who's found this behavior offensive. The last editor to revert him was another of the article's principal editors.[185]

David Matthew Hicks (born 7 August 1975) is an Australian who, after five years detention by the United States government for involvement with terrorism, entered into a plea bargain to become the first and only Guantanamo Bay detainee to be convicted under the U.S. Military Commissions Act of 2006. Hicks's treatment, trial process and outcome, and the newly created legal system under which these events took place, drew widespread criticisms and controversy.

A short explanation of the incident: I am submitting this notice because WP:3RR says: 'Editors may still be blocked even if they have made three or fewer reverts in a 24 hour period, if their behavior is clearly disruptive. The above reverts apply to the work of several users who have all tried and failed to moderate the opening paragraph away from User:Skyring's preferred wording. User:Skyring claims his preffered wording is "consensual" but active editors want to change it and have been consistently prevented from doing so by no-compromise reverting over several weeks.

Please note also that the 10th revert was marked by User:Skyring as "minor". Wm (talk) 08:58, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Given Skyring's block log, a 31-hour block for edit warring is warranted. Stifle (talk) 09:18, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

User received several warnings about adding unsourced editorial comments on shadow people. User doesn't appreciate warnings, and doesn't respond except to blank his talk page each time he receives a new warning. The reverts are somewhat under the radar for 4 reverts in 24 hours, but he's consistently reverting about 3 times per day. (Well, if you count his talk page blankings, he's reversion rate is above 4 per day.)

Despite requests on user's talk page [User:Momento] has not discussed issue and instead has performed multiple reverts. 24.98.132.123 (talk) 19:38, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

I repeatedly deleted 24.98.132.123 inclusion of this article [[197]]. as a violation of BLP. It has since been deleted on 21:20, 6 February 2008 by David D. (Talk | contribs) (52,115 bytes) (→Media: this has nothing to do with the subject) (undo). Thanks.Momento (talk) 22:32, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Observation from the sidelines: Both editors appear to be acting in good faith, although I am disturbed at the apparent bias displayed by Momento in zealously eliminating all traces of sourced and notable criticism of the subject. The criticism exists, it comes from notable sources such as ex-members of the organization, and respectable publications (books and newspapers) are available to back it up. Citing WP:BLP as a catch-all excuse for deleting criticism doesn't seem proper. If the criticism is valid (and it appears to be) then it should be included, with sources, and improved rather than deleted repeatedly. If it were me, I'd block both editors for a week so that others can make positive contributions to the article. =Axlq (talk) 00:07, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Ex-members and tabloid newspapers are not suitable sources for a BLP when there are many noted sociologists and religious scholars to use. In this case The Register article is completely innappropriate.Momento (talk) 00:14, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Speaking as someone with no involvement in this article: On the contrary, ex-members (especially an organized group of them) have a perspective and experience that sociologists and religious scholars sorely lack. When it comes to criticism, Momento appears to have a double standard regarding sources; this comment is telling. Verifiability and reliability are sufficient; academic credentials aren't a requirement. Ex-members are verifiable and reliable sources for their own criticisms.

I see no need to continue this conversation further. I stand by my comment that both editors should be banned for a week, for violating 3RR. =Axlq (talk) 00:52, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

As the article has been semi-protected, apparently due to vandalism concerns, there's probably no block necessary, but I'll leave this up for a bit in case another admin disagrees. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 02:34, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't know whether IP 24.98.132.123 relates to any of the editors of the article. At the time he couldn't have edited the article without logging in as the article was already semi-protected before this incident (I think... a semi-protection tag was up all the time and I saw no IP's edit the article in that period). Anyway, I also issued a 3RR warning for Onefinalstep (talk · contribs) [198], who was Momento's counter-part edit-warrior most of the time for (re-)insertion of the material deleted by Momento in the same period.

As an alleviating circumstance, both engaged in talk page discussion. --Francis Schonken (talk) 13:54, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Momento (talk · contribs) was already previously reported to WP:ANI/3RR on this article 19:38, 6 February 2008, by 24.98.132.123 (talk · contribs). Axlq (talk · contribs) had suggested a block to both parties. No one was blocked because he was edit-warring with an IP address, and the article was then semi-protected. He continues to revert, edit-war with multiple other editors, even after the semi-protect was put into place. Cirt (talk) 13:41, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

There was no edit war with an IP address IN THE SAME PERIOD, the page was semi-protected at the time. See my comments here: [199] (WP:AN3) --Francis Schonken (talk) 14:02, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Actually, yes, there was. Just check the contribs for 24.98.132.123 (talk · contribs). Cirt (talk) 14:04, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

These edits were from two days earlier. Semi-protection occurred 20:29, 6 February 2008. In the period you're speaking of for Momento's edit-warring on this content (8 february) the re-insertions of the material were most often by Onefinalstep (talk · contribs), although I didn't count.

If you think IP 24.98.132.123 could/should be linked to any of the other editors of that page in roughly the same period, it is always possible to file a checkuser request. --Francis Schonken (talk) 14:18, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

I think you misunderstood me? I was only citing the prior case involving 24.98.132.123 (talk · contribs) here because that IP had recently reported Momento (talk · contribs) for 3RR. After the semi-protection, Momento (talk · contribs) continues to be disruptive and edit war. Cirt (talk) 14:20, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, and I recognised my error above. I only intended to comment on the 8 february incident. --Francis Schonken (talk) 14:24, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Okay. My point was just that Momento (talk · contribs) was not blocked after the first 3RR report (as you mentioned, still on this page, above) and continues disruption after the article was semi-protected. Cirt (talk) 14:30, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, and 24.98.132.123 (talk · contribs) maybe links to one of the other editors reverting the same material a few days later, so a checkuser would probably not be completely out of order here, in order not to be one-sided. I leave that to the admins assessing this incident. --Francis Schonken (talk) 14:51, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Momento does appear to be somewhat disruptive here and recommend the admin to review his edits here. Lawrence § t/e 20:05, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
