[WikiEN-l] Hector vs. VV/RickK proxy flame wars

[Abe Sokolov]

I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to keep the recent changes list from looking 
lik this: HectorRodriguez's reversion of VeryVerily's additions to [[mass 
murder]], RickK's reversions of HectorRodriguez's reversions, 
HectorRodriguez's reversions of VeryVerily's reversions of HectorRodriguez's 
reversion, RickK's reversions of HectorRodriguez's reversions of 
VeryVerily's reversions of HectorRodriguez's of [[Manuel Noriega]], 
[[Panama]], [[History of Panama]], [[Communist Party of France]], [[Saddam 
Hussein]], [[mass murder]], and countless other articles.

In effect, RickK and VV have been automatically (and arbitrarily) reverting 
every single edit by Hector, subjecting him to a policy of auto revert 
reserved only for hard-banned trolls - a recipe for edit wars. On a positive 
note, RickK showed signs of agreeing to change his tactics in a recent edit 
to the Saddam page, which addressed content issues without the ad hominems. 
VV, however, still feels no need to defend his edits with counter-arguments 
backed up by factual evidence on the talk pages. He calls Hector a vandal, 
which he feels is sufficient reason to delete any edit by this user. When I 
try to give him advice for avoiding edit wars, he attacks me incessantly and 
refuses to contemplate his own biases.

Someone else has to put a stop to these silly ideological proxy battles. I 
keep on failing to steer the discussion toward content issues.

See my comments on [[Talk:Saddam Hussein]], [[Talk:Manuel Noriega]], and 
[[Talk:Mass murder]] for further details.
