@GimliDotNet: Do not remove the template before the discussion is finished. Thus, your're the one who's engaging in disruptive editing. Mithrandir the Grey (talk) 22:45, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

You asked for a source. One was provided. You went on to revert that addition despite being warned of the 3RR rule. GimliDotNet (talk) 22:48, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

1. another revert [1] despite user being fully aware of this edit warring discussion. GimliDotNet (talk) 23:04, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

Neither of those are "reverts". I made new edits, explained in the talk page, and - thus far - uncontested. Also, I wrote on the talk page that I'm willing to concede the phrasing to you, as long as you include the full quote & link in the citation, which you haven't done yet. Please explain how any of my actions above can be classified as "disruptive". Mithrandir the Grey (talk) 23:10, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

You don’t have to use the undo functionality for it to be a revert. You have re-applied a change disputed by two other editors. This is classic edit warring. GimliDotNet (talk) 23:19, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

Incorrect. I did not re-instate the disputed part (namely the lede phrasing), I only re-instated the undisputed parts (namely the elvish link and the image). Mithrandir the Grey (talk) 23:22, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

it is not undisputed. And it is a revert. As you have done at least 5 reverts on the article, you are edit warring. GimliDotNet (talk) 23:26, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

How is it disputed? Where did anyone dispute it?

All of those reverts were made before your so-called "warning", and in connection to the lede. Mithrandir the Grey (talk) 23:28, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

User Elphion and myself both reverted your image change with edit summaries explaining why. And the edit I added is a long time after the warning. GimliDotNet (talk) 23:37, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

Where are the explanations? And no, I didn't revert the last edit you added. Anyway, I don't have time for silly feuds, let's just return to the talk page and discuss the actual issues rather than defaming each other. Mithrandir the Grey (talk)

[2] is a revert. No matter how many times you claim it isn’t. And it’s a couple of hours after the 3RR warning. GimliDotNet (talk) 23:46, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

No, it's not. But if you want to revert it, you'll need to explain why, which you still have not done. This is the last time I'll respond on this page. Period. Mithrandir the Grey (talk) 23:59, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

@Mithrandir the Grey: You have reverted 5 times in less than 24 hours. You are also a possible sock puppet of User:Willschmut. I think you should post back here to say that you understand that you did break the three-revert rule and that you won't do it again. DrKay (talk) 23:01, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

it seems you didn’t read the links provided in the 3RR warning if you can’t see why a: it is and b: I cannot revert your edit without breaking 3RR myself. GimliDotNet (talk) 00:02, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Disruptive editor is edit warring with other editors and has violated Wikipedia's rules for editwarring. He has already been notified about his actions and that the article is covered by WP:ARBMAC discretionary sanctions, yet he is not heeling to these warnings. The editor after causing disruption, went to the talk page and instead of creating a new discussion, he tried to necropost a dead discussion dating back to 2010 (8 years ago) [10]. I corrected his mistake by moving his post to a new talk page section [11], and here I attempted to explain to him that the content he is trying so stubbornly to add to the article, is ALREADY present in the article (in fact, in the the very same paragraph!) [12] but he ignored my message and, some hours later, he resumed disruption and avoided responding to the talk page discussion. --👧🏻 SilentResident 👧🏻  (talk ✉️ | contribs 📝) 22:04, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

• • User:Dimitrihector made his/her first edit in 2008, but has infrequently edited the English Wikipedia. His history mentions only 19 edits so far in 2018, most of them in the Dance of Zalongo article. A ban is unlikely to affect his/her editing pattern. Dimadick (talk) 22:46, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
    • The reported editor seems to not fully understand how Wikipedia works. Their uncontructive changes on Dance of Zalongo mirror the main issue of Balkan editors: fighting over trivial details. On this report, the reported editor has never been warned for edit warring, and has not made 3 or more reverts in the last 24 or so hours. The editor who notified them about ARBMAC rules, reverted them saying Rv sock without providing evidence of socking [13]. The Balkans is a messy area on Wikipedia, and sometimes editors do not help with their edit summaries. However, I think I will place an advice on the reported editor's talk page. Maybe that helps. Ktrimi991 (talk) 22:59, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Consider this report withdrawn. But if the editor in question makes further editwarrings on the article, (edit warring doesn't have to be limited to within last 24 hours for it to count as such; Wikipedia's rules are very clear: even cases of slow-motion edit wars that span days or weeks, still count as edit wars) I will reinstate the report. Good day. --👧🏻 SilentResident 👧🏻 ^{(talk ✉️ | contribs 📝)} 02:25, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Persistent edit-war with at least four established editors. Repeatedly removing shared-ip template in violation of WP:BLANKING.

This editor is just coming off a 48 hour block for edit warring on this article and he has resumed edit warring his undiscussed and problematic changes into the same article. Some of the content is unsourced and very problematic like "The Seven churches of Asia...mentioned in the New Testament Book of Revelation are all located in present-day Turkey." There is also a problem with representing the Catholic Encyclopedia as "Christian tradition". He does not discuss changes on the talk page and there is also a personal attack [39].

Comments:
Blocked indefinitely. The edit warring itself wasn't bad enough for such a block, but combined with his unwillingness to actually communicate with others, anything less seems pointless. Someguy1221 (talk) 00:58, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

User was warned on talk page not to delete well referenced information. User makes up rules that because the information is negative, there must be a 2 day waiting period. BarbadosKen (talk) 03:30, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Ok. First, the filer is supposed to leave notification alerting me to this report. He didn't. Second, that's obviously three reverts, not four. Third, BarbadosKen has himself made three reverts on the article [40] [41] [42]. Indeed, this appears to be a preemptive response to the edit warring notification *I* left on *his* page [43] (immediately removed [44]). Fourth, and most importantly, this is a BLP issue. This allegation just surfaced. On facebook. What sources there are, are simply reporting that it has been denied. There is a political angle - these allegations came up just two days (on Tuesday) before a politically sensitive primary election. There have been claims of videotape, Ellison said "let's see it, it doesn't exist" and no response so far. Hell, if this DOES turn into something real, I will put this info back in myself. In a couple of days, when there is more. Right now it's a BLP vio. Finally, the user filing this report, while having participated in talk page discussion, engages in WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT and WP:BATTLEGROUND and is basically refusing to even discuss the issue or try a compromise.Volunteer Marek (talk) 04:52, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Pants on fire. You were notified in the article talk page, and the first of the 3 reverts that you allege against me is not a revert, but the first edit. I therefore have only two reverts. BarbadosKen (talk) 05:46, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

You were adding back the previously twice deleted BLP vio, so I'd say "three reverts" is a fair description. --Calton | Talk 06:06, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Previous material was badly sourced. I put in well sourced material. BarbadosKen (talk) 06:17, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

You're suppose to notify the user on their talk page. I didn't see any notification on article talk page. Likewise, the first diff is a restoration of material that was removed here, here, and here. It's not a good idea to accuse others of lying, like you're doing, when it's so easy to check that you're claims are false. It's also a personal attack.

The user's comments here clearly show the BATTLEGROUND and IDIDNTHEARTHAT problem. WP:BOOMERANG.Volunteer Marek (talk) 07:13, 13 August 2018 (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. DrKay (talk) 07:37, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

While User:Volunteer Marek did not technically have a 4th revert, he did engage in nasty edit warring. It is disappointing that no sanctions were taken against him/her. [S]he was clearly gaming the system. The content has been restored by another user who has severely criticized User:Volunteer Marek in the article's talk page. Let's hope User:Volunteer Marek does not do anything irrational.

Accusing me of not following the rules because I notified User:Volunteer Marek of this report on the article talk page rather than his personal talk page is nothing short of WP:WIKILAWYERING. BarbadosKen (talk) 13:21, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

It is User:BarbadosKen who is WikiLawyering in arguing that he did notify Volunteer Marek. The rules for noticeboards say to notify the user on the user talk page. That is always the rule for noticeboards. The rules don't say to notify the user somehow; they say to use the user talk page. That isn't hard. Just follow the detailed rule. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:07, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

It's called complying with the spirit of the law, as opposed to the letter of the law. Obviously the user saw the notification as (s)he was reading the talk page that (s)he was engaged in the edit war ..... But thank you so much for giving me this lecture. Wikilawyering 101 was always my favorite topic, and that's what attracts me to Wikipedia the most. BarbadosKen (talk) 00:40, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

It's called complying with the spirit of the law...

"Self-serving Wikilawyering" would be more accurate. Again, notifying an editor means just that: notifying an editor. You didn't. Pretty straightforward. "Complying with the spirit of the law" might be, for example, not demanding an editor be sanctioned for exactly the same behavior you indulged in. Perhaps you should pay attention to the "lectures" you've been given instead of treating Wikipedia like some sort of contest to win. --Calton | Talk 00:50, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

You are entitled to your own opinion, but you are not entitled to your own facts. The fact remains that User:Volunteer Marek reverted 3 times, and I reverted twice. By definition, my first edit was an edit, not a revert. It sharply differed from what other editors put into the article. While I used Wiki based policies it the talk page, User:Volunteer Marek invented his own policies that even if multiple WP:RS is reporting information we must wait an arbitrary 48 hours. It is highly regrettable that he was allowed to get away with gaming the system because he did not hit the 4th revert. But looking at his Wiki rap sheet, I'm sure sooner or later (s)he will be sanctioned for his/her behavior.

If calling me "self serving" boosts your ego, keep it at. I honestly don't care. My skin is pretty think. Call me whatever makes you feel good. BarbadosKen (talk)

Your first edit was indeed a revert since, as already pointed out several times, it restored content that was previously removed. Your reverts also violated BLP, also as pointed several times. You also filed this report, immediately after being warned about edit warring yourself.Volunteer Marek (talk) 01:25, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

No, the content that was removed was removed because it was poorly written and poorly sourced. I did not revert. I wrote from scratch. So it does not count as a revert. Your warning was frivolous and meritless. BarbadosKen (talk) 01:29, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

It was the same content. It was removed on BLP grounds. You restored it, although yes, you wrote it in your own words. That's a revert.Volunteer Marek (talk) 07:44, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

You are entitled to your own opinion, but you are not entitled to your own facts.

Yep. But's it's not a good look to say that and then immediately say something non-factual. It shows you don't understand the stuff you've been told, but are merely repeating it back. --Calton | Talk 12:24, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

That's not Wikilawyering, that's you not following the rules: there's no guarantee that an editor will see a message on an article talk. Wikilawyering would be be an editor demanding another editor be blocked for the same non-violation the reporting editor indulged in. --Calton | Talk 14:12, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Comments:

I'll add my two cents here, unfortunately I think this is just a case of WP:OWN and IP had put a lot of work into the page. What they failed to realise is their are set guidelines for how these articles are done and they weren't applying them. I made some edits but got reverted so went to WP:TV for more experienced help with TV articles and had Gonnym come and made some style changes that better fitted the article. IP didn't like this and appears to have since got into an edit war. Page is protected now. IP just needs to know while appreciate them setting up the page, Wikipedia is a collaborative effort and they don't own it or how it looks. NZFC^(talk) 20:00, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Comments:

Mr. Booger reverted my edit and stated in his edit summary that it was for citation consistency. While that is a separate argument over WP:CITEVAR and whether style is the same thing as format, he neglected to mention that he was also reverting factual changes (sourced, as well) that I had made, and when I attempted to draw attention to that fact in both my edit summaries and my talk page, he completely ignored that and continued to insist that all cites had to be horizontal (they do not, incidentally, per WP:CITEVAR - only styles have to be consistent, not formats). After he reverted my changes with a 5th edit, I could see he was not willing to discuss the factual changes, so I came here. This is the first time I have ever had to report a user for violating 3RR so please be patient with me if I'm out of line here, but I saw no other recourse as he ignored my requests to consider the sourced factual info he was reverting.

Also wanted to mention that Mr. Booger appears to be marshaling allies with this plea, which I think is in violation of WP:CANVAS, but I admit I don't know if that applies. Seems wrong though. Amsgearing (talk) 22:45, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Again, I also am not sure if my commenting to another user (who had already been engaged in the same discussion on my talk page with the other editor and involved in the dispute on the article in question) is a violation of canvassing. From my understanding, this noticeboard is ultimately presided over by administrators which the other user is not. I suppose at the time I messaged them, I figured that they had just as much a right to comment or not comment here as anybody else. – BoogerD (talk) 23:12, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

• The first thing that strikes me is that you have also broken 3RR, with the edit at 21:05 together with the three reverts of BoogerD ... Black Kite (talk) 22:37, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Mr Black Kite (talk), I did not make an edit at 21:05, so I'm not sure how to respond to this. Amsgearing (talk) 22:44, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Apologies, I was using my time-zone, I should have linked it - this one. Black Kite (talk) 23:30, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

That was a different edit entirely, in which a different editor removed the entire ratings section for no reason, and I don't think Booger had a problem with that info being there, as it's still there. Amsgearing (talk) 01:59, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

• I suppose this is the point in which I am supposed to explain my actions and/or stick up for myself. Firstly, I think my edit history on Wikipedia and my numerous comments on various talk pages will attest to the fact that I am inclined to engage with other editors in discussions when disputes arise. I always try and maintain the utmost polite and calm demeanor and see if I can't come to some sort of understanding or compromise with an editor. My editing philosophy has always been to let sort of "Contribute; Let go" in the sense that I enjoy adding content, within the guidelines of the website, but I do go out of my way to enter into drawn out discussions of policy or debates over minor edits. I suppose I am in violation of the 3RR rule and for that I am incredibly sorry. At times I can come across as overzealous. I can own up to that. On the other hand, my edits were done in good faith as they were my attempt at maintaining the quality of the article.

To address the specific concerns at the heart of the dispute between the other editor and I: I still believe I am in the right as far as it concerns citation formatting remaining consistent on any given article. Why 2 or 3 citations should be drastically different than the other 49 or so citations makes no sense to me and I'm curious as to how one might justify it. It just seems like common sense to me. In regards to the supposed "removal of factual information", I really did no such thing. I returned a sentence to its original phrasing and I believe I removed a citation. Whether one phrasing of the sentence in question is more accurate than the other is a matter of debate but I think I am in the clear when it comes to removing the new citation. The sentences in the section already have four and six citations attached to them, respectively. This seems like a case of WP:OVERCITE honestly. Too add yet another citation seem only to make the situation worse.

Again, my intention is never to engage in "warring" of any kind and try very hardly to treat every editor with respect and give them the benefit of the doubt. If I am guilty of breaking a rule here than I accept that and vow to do better. Of the roughly 2000 edits I make per month, I think that on the whole almost all of them fall within boundaries of Wikipedia policy. I don't wish to get into name-calling with the editor accusing me of violating this policy but I feel compelled to point out that, at least in my experience with them, they have exhibited rather rude, disrespectful, and aggressive behavior and just been overall combatitive. I believe at one point on my talk page they accused my writing of reading as if "a superfan with a third-grade reading level" had written it. I would have gladly continued to debate the reverts without either of us making any further edits but the other user seemed intent on leaving notes on my talk page and then immediately going back to the article and making a change before waiting for a response from me. As of right now, I am avoiding making any further edits on the article and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. I have spent quite some time trying to improve the article and tried to bring it up to some sort of high quality. However, I am not willing to sacrifice my entire editing "career" here over one page. Not sure what else to say here but I'd be glad to continue to discuss this issue further. – BoogerD (talk) 23:08, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

As Black Kite says, you were both edit warring, but the reverting has stopped for a few hours now, so if neither of you touches the article from here on, I think we can close this as stale - we will generally only block if editors are incapable of stopping of their own accord. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 23:24, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Out of curiosity, is what you're saying that I am not allowed to ever edit the article again? Say, like, in a year from now when the next season is released. I know editors can be banned from certain topics and articles but I would like to say, in my defense, that I have done some good work on the article in question. I have no intention of altering the article any time soon but I feel confident in saying that I will at some point in the future especially as new information is released regarding the show's forthcoming second season. – BoogerD (talk) 23:36, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Oh no, I'm not saying that at all, "from here on" in this case means "from now until this report is closed". As long as you both agree to stop reverting each other, then all is well. I don't think anyone is suggesting you haven't done good work on the article. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 23:40, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the swift reply @Ritchie333:. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to Manual of Style and Wikipedia Policy and so when I read your reply I was a little unsure of what you meant and thought it possible that the outcome here, solely based on what has already occurred, might involve me being barred from the article going forward. I have made some 13,500 edits in the last eight months using my account that I haven't really used in the past 12 years. I have found everyday that there are kind and patient editors willing to impart knowledge on me and as a result I have learned quite a bit. I try remain openminded and willing to listen with the hope that my editing will only become more informed and more "on-base" with each passing day. – BoogerD (talk) 23:52, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

If I may just interject in this discussion. I don't believe it would be fair to say that BoogerD was actually edit warring on the page. He offered reasonable explanation for his reversions which was ignored by Amsgearing who was attempting to force his changes through. Had I noticed this incident on the page sooner I would have reverted him myself along the same lines. His citation style simply isn't used on television pages and his attempts to force it onto the Succession page without discussion is entirely without merit. Frankly I believe that forcing controversial changes through without discussion is disruptive and BoogerD was entitled to revert. I believe this topic, baseless as it is, only exists because the creator couldn't get his own way on the page. Esuka323 (talk) 23:45, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Here's my 2c. I clicked on random revisions of the article as they appeared today. At no point could I not understand what it was about, where I might be able to watch the series, who's in the cast etc. I just don't think the formatting of an article is that major an issue to be so severe to be dragged to this noticeboard. It's only a few steps up from edit warring over the colour of templates, after all. The lack of discussion on the talk page (which is the first place I would go to when a content dispute arises) doesn't help matters. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 00:03, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

I figured that I'd mention, if you weren't aware already, but a discussion was opened by the other editor on my talk page. Perhaps it would've made more sense to house the discussion on the article's talk page but once the debate began on mine I sort of got caught up in the back and forth. For my part of things, I'll admit that we should've talked more before either of us made any more changes. I got kind "revved up" I suppose as while I was typing a response to one of the editor's notes/messages they would be making a new edit or revert before reading what I had to say. I think, in the back of my mind, I must've felt at the time that if I just stopped editing the page and let the other user's edit stand then they would merely ignore any further comments by me. Was that an incorrect assumption to make? Quite likely but is simply what I think I might've been feeling in that moment. – BoogerD (talk) 00:15, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

Exactly, the onus was on Amsgearing to take the matter to the articles talkpage in an attempt to gain consensus for his changes. Instead he ignored what BoogerD was saying in his reversions and continued his attempts to force his changes through. I believe that would count as disruptive and would be a clear cut case of 3RR. Instead we have a situation where the instigator of the problem is trying to get the person trying to resolve the problem blocked because they couldn't get their own way. Esuka323 (talk) 00:18, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

Look, I'm not as experienced as anyone here, so maybe I misunderstand what the 3RR rule is for. I made changes that were sourced, and they were factual, as in who announced what, whereas before it was left ambiguous. I also use the vertical format, which, if it's not a big deal, as Ritchie333 stated (I happen to agree), then why is Booger changing it? Regardless, he was reverting my edits with no basis in policy, and ignoring the removal of edits that were sourced. From what I understand about the 3RR rule, it's a red line that you absolutely do not cross, so once Booger crossed it, I did not want to follow him down that rabbit hole and get blocked. It's not because I agree with his edits - I still absolutely do not. But effectively, by edit warring with me and doing 4 reverts, while I stopped short of that, my contributions are erased, and Booger gets away with ignoring my points and just mass-reverting all my changes back to "his" version of the page. So why does 3RR exist if an editor can just revert ad infinitum because he doesn't like my edits? I don't get it. Amsgearing (talk) 01:57, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

In issues relating to article content that may be seen as controversial its always up to the person making the changes to start a topic on the articles talk page to discuss the issue thoroughly to gain consensus. This means waiting for other editors to join and give their opinion on the subject. In the meantime you're supposed to wait until the outcome of the discussion and not revert further. You didn't do this, instead you took your discussion to BoogerDs talkpage and clearly threatened to report BoogerD for 3RR if he didn't restore your changes. He didn't have to do this as it was not supported by policy to do so. It was always up to you to make a case on the articles talk page and go with consensus, you did not.

As for your edit war accusations, you violated 3RR by reverting myself once and BoogerD three times within the space of 24 hours without due cause. His fourth edit came in an attempt to restore the status quo on the page. You may not be aware but your citation style is not used on Wikipedia television pages. Not to mention that references for renewal are generally not used in the lede, said source was already in the article body to confirm the shows renewal. In my opinion he was restoring the page to its proper state and gave you reasonable explanation in his summary. Thus this report against him is baseless. Esuka323 (talk) 02:15, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

• Result: Both User:BoogerD and User:Amsgearing are warned for edit warring. See the above comments by other admins. It is not enough for edits to be sourced; they will be kept in the article only if consensus supports including them. When there is disagreement you are expected to wait for the result of discussion and not just keep on reverting. EdJohnston (talk) 02:56, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

This was originally an edit dispute with Nola32 which was resolved by minor edit. Then Binksternet jumped in claiming that what we had come to was a personal attack and slur with no justification. I posted the origin of the terms used and showed it was in common usage among feminists and still he continues his reversion.

Beginning on July 25, two IPs started edit warring with each other. This led to patrollers (such as myself) noticing and jumping in and reverting. The article was eventually semi-protected. But one of the IPs created an account (Steam Heat), and, since the semi-protection has worn off, the edit warring has continued. It is a slow edit war with no end in sight. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 17:01, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

Page protected Semi-protected for one week. I don't particularly like this, as it effectively means Steam Heat has won the debate by being a confirmed account. However, I can't believe how much disruption has gone on this article between these two and something has to give. Since the album is supposed to be released by now, hopefully more people will come in and we'll get a wider consensus on what to do, instead of these two just reverting each other ad nauseum.

• Note As with 3RR, 1RR is normally interpreted as involving substantially the same content in each revert. I don't see that in this case. Acroterion (talk) 03:41, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

My first edit you list is not a "revert" - it was a simple edit, removing questionable material, not "reversing the actions of other editors." You restored it, along with a wide range of other material, in a revert. I subsequently reverted you and requested that you discuss the material in question on the talk page, where I have opened a discussion. We are each at our one revert. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 03:45, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Yes, the first claimed revert is simply an edit. The second claimed revert is an actual revert. You need to have two reverts to substantially the same content to have a 1RR breach. No violation. Acroterion (talk) 03:49, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

The last revert was made after notification was given. Brand new WP:SPA account on an article/topic that's seen a lot of disruption and sockpuppetry.Volunteer Marek (talk) 17:55, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Huh? There's been an ongoing effort to build consensus between editors on key disputes (SPLC, Tanton's role, "range of think tanks") on Talk, in which you haven't participated a single time, instead opting to undo changes made by myself and several other editors unilaterally such as here and here. There does appear to be some sockpuppetry going on, but not from my end--I'm working to stop the sockpuppetry. Frankly, I'm confused as to why you're taking the step to report me instead of participating in the ongoing Talk, which has been fruitful and has recently led to several agreements we've implemented... — Preceding unsigned comment added by ModerateMike729 (talk • contribs) 18:01, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Comments:

Filiprino has a history of edit warring. The user has already been blocked 3 times (see here) for violating 3RR and for edit warring. The user is also indefinitely blocked from eswiki (see here: es:Usuario:Filiprino) after being repeatedly blocked and warned for edit warring, conflicts with other editors and editing with a political agenda (see comment by admin after last block (in Spanish)) (and Spanish talk page: es:Usuario_discusión:Filiprino)

In this case it all began by an edit made by an IP that changed Spanish by Catalan without providing any rationale, I restored the previous status quo version as the country of citizenship is the criteria currently cited at Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Biography#Context. There is an RfC on the matter but it has not been closed yet.

Filiprino reverted that edit changing again Spanish for Catalan. I explained to him in the talk page that the previous status quo was Spanish and that it followed WP:MOSBIO. He then defended at the talk page that Catalonia is a Country. I explained that the matter had been argued before at the talk page of Catalonia and that consensus was not to use "country" as shown in the comment for editors at the infobox of the article itself. While the discussion was taking place, he started reverting again today. Myself and another user restored the page asking in the edit summaries to refrain from edit warring and respect WP:BRD. Filiprino ignored those requests and violated 3RR alleging to have consensus in the Talk page, which is not the case.

Other edits by the Filiprino at Societat Civil Catalana have also been very controversial, as the user repeatedly used edit warring to try to label that group as far right. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 18:53, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Comments:

User keeps removing content added by myself and others to assert WP:OWNERSHIP over the page. Also keeps adding his POV description of the Nunes memo by adding words like claimed, false, disputed, etc. This violated WP:CLAIM and the statement is already properly attributed. Page is actually under a 1RR restriction. Although he has been careful not to add the exact same text again, the result is the same, he is trying to create a POV article despite attempts by myself and others to use a neutral tone. Also, WP:3RR states "whether involving the same or different material", so this is clearly a violation. Rusf10 (talk) 01:04, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

(Uninvolved comment) The first link is not a revert, but an addition (one I would have reverted myself, but still). The second is a clear-cut BLP exemption. The Daily Caller is not a reliable source for contentious claims like that. The third just looks like a series of well-sourced additions. The fourth, fifth and sixth are part of the third (which spans multiple revisions). The final one looks like a revert. Note that there is another ANEW report filed by the filing editor against the same subject editor that was dismissed for substationally the same reasons I just described as applying to this report. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 02:00, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

WP:CLAIM is not a policy, and does not entirely prohibit the use of the word "claim" - claims contained within the highly-partisan Nunes memo are hotly disputed and some have been entirely disproven, and this user intends to make use of those claims to disparage the article subject.

Moreover, the user in question is guilty of a WP:1RR violation. This edit was a wholesale revert to material previously disputed, and this edit reverted my simple edit to note that the Nunes memo material are partisan claims. This is yet another case of an article about a living person in the news being targeted by partisan edit warriors of one sort or another, looking to use Wikipedia as a weapon of information warfare. Depicting Bruce Ohr as some sort of deep state conspirator using disreputable partisan smears like the Nunes memo is precisely the sort of nonsense we have to guard against. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 02:03, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

All the edits follow the same theme,but I'll use the most clear cut violation of the 1RR rule: [107] Uses POV language ""right-wing conspiracy theory", "widely criticized", and "claimed" to describe Nunes memo. After that language is removed, reinserts "widely-disputed" [108]--Rusf10 (talk) 02:12, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

That's not a revert, it's an edit. I took what you had written and made what I believe to be improvements upon it, with highly-reliable sourcing. "Right-wing conspiracy theory" was a direct quote from the cited reliable source - that you don't like The New York Times' POV is interesting, but irrelevant. It's not "POV language" to quote an impeccable reliable source. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 02:14, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

I've asked you multiple times already to find another reliable source that uses that language. I don't care where you got it from, but to call a memo written by a sitting US congressman "a conspiracy theory" is clear POV.--Rusf10 (talk) 02:20, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

You don't get to decide that reportage from The New York Times "is clear POV." Your personal opinion of the most respected news source in the United States is irrelevant. Moreover, this board isn't the place to argue that the NYT is biased. Go to the Reliable Sources Noticeboard if you want to create consensus that the NYT is "POV." NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 02:21, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

Warned The reverting is stale now, so just a reminder will suffice. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 12:36, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

@Ritchie333: Please be aware of that the involved IP was blocked for vadalism only shortly afterwords (see 2.44.172.174's block). Please be also aware of that TheVicarsCat (talk · contribs · count · logs · page moves · block log)'s almost only intention seems to be to police and therefore to discredit me – just check his history (60% or more of his "contribution" is targeting my edits, since he started on May 18)! It is indeed a lame argument that he is not involved - in a further sense. His motivation however stay unclear. And of course there were attempts to resolve the dispute, just see Talk:Giessbach Bahn. Thanks -- ZH8000 (talk) 14:38, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Just to add a note in here for the record. ZH8000 is once again resorting to misinformation in that the IP involved (85.255.232.36) has not been blocked for vandalism, or indeed anything. ZH8000 has also be warned countless times that if he does not behave as expected, people are bound to pursue him. TheVicarsCat (talk) 16:44, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

ZH8000 was referring to another edit war, at Canton of Ticino, where IP 2.44.172.174 was deliberately trolling with edit comments such as "It's not needed loser, thanks" or "Let's see if Dh8000 has the brains to keep this correction up". Accordingly, your aspersions are unfounded, and repeated attacks on ZH8000 may be construed as hounding. — JFG ^talk 18:03, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

@JFG: Precisely. My aspersions are entirely well founded. 2.44.172.174 has nothing whatsoever to do with this case. This has been a standard ZH8000 tool to deflect blame away from himself or at least make it appear that someone else was also at fault. He has dragged uninvolved users (usually IPs) into several disputes in which he has been involved. ZH8000 has already taken me to ANI complaining of following his edits. He was told not to pursue it, but he repeatedly recycles the allegation. ZH8000 repeatedly attempts to enforce the rules against others while believing that they do not apply to him. Evidence: the 3RR warning to 85.255.232.36 while ZH8000 was already at 4RR (and he has done this several times and been warned about it - yet he still does it). Edit histories exist so that an editor's edits can be properly scrutinised by others and any editor so doing is "making proper use of the tool"' (direct quote from an administrator). I am aware that he follows my edits so it works both ways, the only problem for ZH8000 is that he can't find anything else to complain about. If he were to follow the rules, we would get along just fine.

I conceed that there was a discussion on the talk page (I followed the talk link from the tab at the top of the page but was unwittingly redirected to a talk page that had no discussion so I believed that there was none). However, ZH8000, as usual, did not start the discussion (as WP:BRD demands as he was the editor originally reverted). It was started by 85.255.232.36, but ZH8000's repost was not an attempt at eliciting a consensus (it never is - he doesn't work by consensus), but just his standard declaration that he is right and therefore every one else must be wrong (he has even resorted to raising an SPI complaint against five other editors who were telling him he was wrong - and chucked in two unrelated IPs to boot). He even resorted to making an ANI complaint accusing every editor who was telling him he was wrong anywhere of being one socking editor (including yet another two unrelated IPs). TheVicarsCat (talk) 13:03, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

I wonder who is following who. But that's for another time and another place. Present case is closed. — JFG ^talk 14:36, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

On the first or second edit, depending on how you view it, the user violated the BLP discretionary sanctions. There is a very large editnotice that comes up when you edit the article warning that you can only revert once in a 24-hour period. Regardless, the user has edit-warred or breached 3RR, again depending on how you count. More important, the material the user is continually re-adding is so disruptive in part as to constitute vandalism. If I were not WP:INVOLVED, I would have already indeffed the user.

The user wants to insert language into the lede stating that Tlaib supports "elimination of the state of Israel", which is a curiously strong way to refer to the One-state solution. Their sources tend to Breitbart. Obviously a neutrally-worded section in the article body describing the sources' actual, non-interpreted reporting, with a summation in the ledge, would be fine and dandy.

This one is pretty simple. Editor MarkusSchulze is defending his note that relies on an unpublished and biased source, that also runs contrary to Wikipedia's definition of the term in question.

Indeed. The discussion regarding the edits is presented in the talk page. Schulze stopped discussing there when it was clear his section lacked support. See - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:STAR_voting

Comments:
Looking for consistency in interpretation of other terms defined on Wikipedia here. Voting method criteria are binary -- they are not in any way subject to "wider sense of the word" interpretations. Schulze's efforts here are simply to regurgitate unsupportable internet FUD regarding a particular voting method, and should be prevented. Just one guy's opinion. Nardopolo (talk) 09:37, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

When someone proposes a new election method, it is his burden to show which properties this method has; it is not the burden of the community. STAR voting has never been analyzed in a peer-reviewed journal. What User:Nardopolo does is: He claims that, whenever it hasn't been proven in a peer-reviewed journal that STAR voting doesn't have a certain property, he can claim that it has this property.

Stumbled across this because it's on my watchlist; Javiero Fernandez has been edit warring with @SnapSnap: to restore an additional release date (against Template:Infobox song). Both users should know better, but I'm reporting Javiero Fernandez here because they've blatantly broken 3RR by making at least five reverts on the page in different areas (four over the release date, once over the genre) in what looks to be less than 24 hours to me. Just a note: A simple glance at Javiero's contributions reveal they've recently gotten into edit wars on Aladdin, List of highest-grossing animated films, Proud of Your Boy, etc. Also, minutes before I undid Javiero's for changing the release date again (as it should be stay the earliest release), the IP they reverted looks to have come back and reverted them for the unsourced genre addition: [130].

I asked Bbb23 to run a CheckUser on this user before I filed this report because I found their editing pattern suspicious, and it looks like they were blocked indefinitely as a sockpuppet of Tarook97, who edit-warred extensively and also used other accounts to back their reverts up. It looks like they couldn't stay away from Wikipedia for six months without socking, as Drmies suggested on their talk page. Ss112 04:20, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Clear violations of 1RR; 16:31 edit restores wholesale his partisan-tinged negative depiction of a living person, then his 23:31 edit reverts my mild attempt to note that the Nunes memo claims are just that - claims. User wants to use partisan sources to disparage a living person who has become targeted by the President of the United States and a "right-wing conspiracy theory" (per NYT) and reverts any attempt to tone down the material or make clear that it is questionable.

True. After having jumped farther down the rabbit hole than I'd like, I think encouraging both editors to not edit the article for 24 hours is the best option. I'm not sure enforcing 1RR on that article is helpful, and both editors have violated the letter (though not necessarily the spirit) of the rule. power~enwiki (π, ν) 03:31, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

Comments:
I have never edited this article before beyond adding a short description. I recommended to the editor to start an RfC or split discussion, because I am not involved with the article, but I am very concerned that he chose to make a fourth revert continuing to remove huge amounts of sourced content and that edit warring to delete multiple sourced sections is likely to continue without administrator intervention. I also don't want to go over 3RR myself, so perhaps someone else can take a look and see if the content should be restored/discussed before removal. (Editor is still removing content from the article). Seraphim System ^(talk) 06:18, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

I reverted you once, thats not edit warring. You don't seem to have a handle on what reverting means. In the future, its customary to alert the editor that you've reported them to the notice board. We were having a discussion but you decided to step out, which is fine. My edits were indeed large and did indeed remove a lot of content. I was being WP:BOLD and decided to WP:FIXIT. Its interesting that you want editors to "come take a look" at the page you were just editing instead of doing what they're supposed to be doing on this notice board. If you have content disputes, take it to the talk page. This is not the place for you to request comments on content disputes, try WP:RFC. LivinRealGüd (talk) 06:28, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

There is nothing wrong with being BOLD but you continued to remove large amounts of content after your change was reverted and I proposed you start a split/spinout discussion. Since you are still saying WP:FIXIT I don't think you are going to stop and wait for a consensus to form on the talk page regarding the removals without administrator intervention. When you started editing the article it was 108,417 bytes over the course of several hours you have reduced it to 73,931 bytes. A revert is any edit or series of edits that undoes another editors work in whole or part. I would say deleting around 30% of the article counts as undoing other editors work.Seraphim System ^(talk) 06:51, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Yes, I removed large amounts of the article, thats called editing Wikipedia. All the contested content was left unchanged per WP:TALK. You're still not getting it. The WP:3RR means that I reverted your edits three times in an edit war. Me editing the article three (and more) times doesn't count. You're losing your argument on the talk page and you wanted to use the notice board as a quick way out. I can't say I have't seen this before. LivinRealGüd (talk) 13:36, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

• Oh my. Please clarify why are you editing like this LivinRealGüd? So basically you have removed completely the bonus controversy, the Parmalat controversy and loads of other negative information claiming they are "repeated" elsewhere?! Where? This is whitewashing of the article. It's not just your multiple reverts crossing 3RR, your edits are absolutely suspicious and I question your credentials. My recommendation would be an immediate block, unless you clarify what in heavens are you up to? Lourdes 07:47, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Lourdes, I would love to clarify "why I edit like this". I always have. I don't know what you mean by "questioning my credentials" or what that entails. If I see poorly written articles with poorly sourced content that goes against Wikipedia's core content policies I like to make bold and decisive edits. Thats how I took Jeff Bezos to Good Article status earlier this year. A similar event happened there, a large "controversies" section was taken out and reincorporated back into the main part of the article as it should be. White washing would be when I go to articles and delete negative information and keep positive information. Thats clearly not whats happening. You can see from my edit history, I don't do this and never will (nor would I want to). Telling me I have "suspicious" edits and "questioning my credentials" is a serious case of assuming bad faith. I've dealt with multiple finance related articles and brought them to Good Article status by questioning and challenging WP:RECENTISM and WP:TMI. When I edit articles two things happen, either editors follow my edits and make improvements as I go along and discuss on the talk page. Or they don't actually look at my edits and what I'm removing and adding and decided to make assumptions. Do me a favor. Click on the Bank of America article right now (as you've currently reverted it). Take a look at all that unsourced content, take a look at that tone of voice, that legalistic writing, all that poorly sourced controversies section, all that information that is mentioned twice on the article (for example BofA's involvement during the 2008 financial crisis, which is mentioned three times). I usually don't have to deal with this because editors like Seraphim System know they're in the wrong and work with me to fix it. This user has a history of adding legalistic information into articles with personal analysis sprinkled in. Do I question their involvement with the article? Absolutely. But thats a discussion for their talk page or BofA's talk page. I tried to have a discussion with this user but they left the talk page. Thats on them. I would appreciate you restoring the article as I left it. If you'd like come join me on the talk page and lets discuss why having 60-70% of the article either about lawsuits or controversies is against WP:NPOV. I'm an experienced editor making bold edits to improve an article. I think you know whats happening here is different from what Seraphim System is proposing. LivinRealGüd (talk) 13:30, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

IP user Special:Contributions/209.20.37.82 have removed a picture of a recurring guest in a reality TV show. All the other pictures posted that weren't removed are for all main cast members.

So me and along with another IP Special:Contributions/47.208.76.60 have reverted Millzipede's revert. Only to warn both of us that if we revert his/her edit that we would be reported.

Vexatious complaint. The first 2 edits are Barbados moderating BLP for NPOV which should be exempt. VQuakr has been gaming 1RR to prevent ANY mention of an event covered by all the major outlets even with consensus on the talk page to include it. And to call this a "BLP vio" is beyond a stretch.

@Ritchie333:- As VQuaker pointed out, the page is under 1RR. And they don't have to be warned if they are clearly aware of it. As BarbadosKen clearly is, since he was just pointing out to me that, quote, "The text You must not make more than one revert per 24 hours to this article and are subject to discretionary sanctions while editing this page. appears in big bold letters whenever you hit the edit button for the article". I mean, I can't see how BarbadosKen can write that one moment, then go and break the rule the next.Volunteer Marek (talk) 04:18, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

But as pointed out, only one of his edits really counts as a "revert", so I think 1RR has been adhered to. Plus the issue is now stale, anyway. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 09:47, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

• Ritchie333, There actually was a violation of the 1RR by BarbadosKen. Wukai removed acknowledged having had a relationship with Monahan in this edit. In the next edit of 16:43, 20 August 2018‎ BarbadosKen added Acknowledging that he did indeed have a relationship with Monahan. While not a direct revert it was a revert that added back the info that was just removed. In the next edit Volunteer Marek blanked the section under dispute. Then at 22:00, 20 August 2018 BarbadosKen reinserted a modified version of the content. That is two reverts in a little under 6 hours. I agree the issue is now stale but just wanted to point out there was a violation. ~ GB fan 10:30, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Please note Ahunt is one of several editors protecting this article against disruptive editing. There have not been three edits in 24 hours.

Oh please, disputing a change and asking to start a discussion on the talk page is hardly disruptive. What **was** disruptive is continuously reverting those edits, leaving the article in a disputed state as Ahunt did. Additionally, edit-warring does not seem to be limited to 3RR violations.

IP suspected of socking due to similar edit summary style, timing of revert, and the edit warring notice it left on my talk page (as Ahunt had done some minutes before) - but I don't know if an SPI is necessary unless further disruption is seen from the IP.

Brightline 3RR vio at high-visibility article. Also edit-warring at other articles (e.g. Buddhist art).

Not yet a 3RR and I would not have reported this IP user for edit warring but they were belligerent about it and called me a moron, ignoring the warning and explanation of BRD etc. and reverting again. Perhaps I should not have reverted their initial violation of BRD, I'm not sure how to handle that, but I've stopped there and left it as their version after the last revert. —DIYeditor (talk) 17:39, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

This is not a report of edit-warring behavior, but rather of a user who was blocked for edit warring and then, when the block expired, immediately nominated the page in question to AfD: [[169]]. Initially I merely responded on the AfD itself, but now that the user edited the AfD nomination to directly reference the dispute which was the subject of the edit war (monotonicity), I believe that a report here is in order. Note that the talk page discussion on monotonicity has continued, but that the user has not participated there since before the sanctioned edit-warring, and that the arguments on the AfD are a near-verbatim rehash of arguments that have already been dealt with in talk.

I do not currently believe that a further block is in order but I think it's worth reporting this behavior.

Homunq (࿓) 12:17, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

• In my opinion, I give a very good summary why the STAR voting article should be deleted. Much of what Homunq writes at that discussion is ad hominem. Markus Schulze 13:26, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

No violation – AfD is a discussion, and it is hard to see how participation there could be seen as a form of edit warring. Markus Schulze seems to be the author of the Schulze method so might be expected to have opinions in this area. It appears that the two of you have been disputing on Wikipedia for many years. See also this AN3 complaint from 2010. We expect that when the two of you encounter each other you will pursue the steps of WP:Dispute resolution in good faith. In my opinion it was unnecessary for Homunq to file a report here. EdJohnston (talk) 15:05, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Keeprollin89 was created seven days ago and has no activity other than the edit the subject of this dispute. We are here on a 3RR because the editor repeatedly created an edit which repeated the DoB of the subject in the lede, notwithstanding edit summaries pointing out the deficiency. The second aspect, the evident motivation for the editor's intervention, is a somewhat rampant indignation about the term "Goral" which is not supported by the content of the WP article on the subject (i.e. it appears the views of the editor are at an extreme end of the scale). The editor provides no support for his elaborate views on the subject. In the course of this, a source has been found for the claim made in the article and added, which has now been removed by the editor. The deleted material is sourced reliably and, taking into account the matters stated above, there is no basis for the suppression of the information to prevail. sirlanz 22:41, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Comments:
This is not 3RR but the editor is continuing to revert the same content without participating on the talk page. At least three editors have expressed concern that the content is overly detailed for the lede in the discussion that has been open since July 20th. The previous informal discussion from last year (which was closed by the editor who opened it) did not resolve any kind of strong consensus on a final wording or for the entire paragraph. Between that discussion and the one currently open power~enwiki,[195], User:Dr. K.,[196], User:Moxy,[197] User:User:TU-nor [198] and myself[199] have all expressed that the current version is unsatisfactory. These editors most likely are not all talking about the same thing, but there is no consensus for the current version of the content and there was no formal close to the discussion by an uninvolved editor. As such, there is no exemption from the usual consensus process of participating in talk page discussions. What put this over the line for me was ignoring the last question I posted on talk asking for input to find a place for the sentence about Kurds and continuing to revert tclaiming there is a binding RfC. This seems like escalation for the sake of escalation. I don't want to keep reverting but most of the contributions from this editor to the discussion have been personal attacks/assumptions of bad faith [200] and reverts ignoring input from other editors/claiming a binding RfC (where there isn't one) [201].Seraphim System ^(talk) 21:02, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

• Comment I'm not sure which of the two versions I prefer. This may be better suited to WP:DRN than this board; I haven't looked just now but I don't think there is a clear consensus for what should be in the lead. power~enwiki (π, ν) 21:06, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

• Comment I have stated that I think there is too much detail in the current presentation. That does certainly not mean that I support to remove the whole paragraph. On the contrary, I think the mention in the lede of Kurds as a large minority is pertinent and important. If you are not happy with earlier discussiona, how about opening a RfC yourself? --T*U (talk) 21:51, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

Because I think this can be resolved without an RfC by discussion on the talk page. As you said early in the discussion, an RfC question has to be formulated carefully. Based on the discussion I don't have a clear RfC question yet. I agree with you that Kurds being a large minority should be mentioned. The last question I asked was where it should be added, because that seems to be the part that most editors are agreed on including. The point of RfC is to request comment on disputes that actually exist on the talk page, not guesses based on year old comments from editors who are not actively participating. If we can reach agreement on that, an RfC won't be necessary. If there is a dispute about what else to include, it may be. But we aren't there yet, and it is only one editor who continues to revert without participating in the discussion (plus personal attacks, etc.) Seraphim System ^(talk) 22:03, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

Frivolous, bad-faith report by editor with unclean hands [202] [203] [204], a long history of edit-warring, and a correspondingly rich block log [205]. Two of the diffs are from August 20, almost a week ago, in a dispute with another user that was since resolved. There is a long-standing consensus to include the important Kurdish minority in the lede of this article per this discussion here [206]. This user on the other hand is hell-bent on removing the mention of the Kurdish minority in the lede, and has been at it for months [207]. This report is merely their latest system-gaming attempt to win the content dispute, this through block-fishing. Consider WP:BOOMERANG Khirurg (talk) 00:37, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

In a further indication of the level of credibility of this user, they say I have not been participating at the talkpage. This is patently untrue [208] - I had just happened to have stepped out and didn't get back in until now. However, my attemtps at discussing have been met with WP:IDHT and WP:LAWYER. Khirurg (talk) 00:40, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

And if it wasn't already obvious this is bad-faith, WP:GAME block-fishing, this user left a 3RR template on my talkpage [209] and then filed the report 6 minutes later [210]. What's the point of warning someone if you have the report already ready to be filed? It's a clear indication that this user was just going through the motions and technicalities so they could file the report which they had already drawn up. As clear an attempt of WP:GAME as could be. Khirurg (talk) 00:47, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

Since that first edit to the article we have had discussions where multiple editors have offered input and I generally have agreed that Kurds should be mentioned. I also agree that the "largest minority" language should be kept. This is because I'm capable of changing my mind and using talk pages to have civil discussion to try to reach a consensus. More to the point about conduct, even power~enwiki, who opened the discussion last November, and closed it, has said here I don't think there is a clear consensus for what should be in the lead but even after that you commented again on the talk page (only after this complaint was filed) [211] arguing There is a clear consensus to include this material in the lede. That is not engaging with the substantive arguments being made on the talk page. Seraphim System ^(talk) 02:10, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

Yeah, sure, you "agree that the Kurds should be mentioned", so that's why you are edit-warring like mad to remove them. For months now [212]. Saying one thing and doing another. And then you talk about "engaging with substantive arguments". WP:BOOMERANG. Khirurg (talk) 02:29, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

10,000 byte rant by blocked user

Gabriel HM: Dear arbitration commity since this is the first time that have to deal with such a procedure, please be indulgent in my defensive request. First of all please let me put some of the exchanges of the subject to lighten you on that matter: But in a nutshell, this contributor keeps erasing the fact that in the section of the origin of the poodle I states with many ref that 93 countries out of 100 kennel members including France and Germany state that the poodle is of French descends. I never ever cancelled the ref of my opponent that use the refs of the only three kennels club, theA KC, theAKC and the ukc stating that the poodle comes from Germany. I always let the two version available on the article. I really don’t understand why this well documented fact represents such a threat for them to keep erasing the sentences and some of the ref. Exchange with :The user User talk:Doug Weller, keeps deleting all the overwhelming references stating that the poodle is of French origin. Not the 95 countries members of the FCI, nor the history of the breed, and neither the official statement made by Germany in 1936 when the country joined the FCI (the main international dog association) stating that the poodle is solely a French breed is enough for him. It looks like he is in cruisade against the French origin of this dog as if being French was a shame.... for encyclopaedic purpose I let the assertion saying that only three kennel club worldwide, the akc, the ckc and the English kennel club are stating the opposite. But he can’t erase the fact that the rest of the kennel clubs are stating the poddle as a French breeed. He is acting like a censor that erases all the pertinents info that displeases him. For god sake, this is an article about the poodle and its origins, we are not dealing with any political or sensitive issues. Even the German article states the poodle as being French origin and cancelled his previous edits on this matter. I am tired to keep replacing the correct and documented info in the article. S’il aime tant les races allemande qu’il se concentre sur les spitz ou autres schnauzers...--Gabriel HM (talk) 11:19, 27 August 2018 (UTC) The same users cancelled again the edits and threaten me of blockage, even though he his the one keeping erasing the well documented facts of the article. He is acting like a bully that does not use the talk page, threat the contributors and ignore simple plain documented facts. This is not the proper way to act in Wikipedia. The threats, and the cancelation by force should not be admitted. I am a member for several years without any problems, I have always be patient and understanding but his actions are more related to threat and intimidation and “passage en force” than anything else. On dirait que le simple fait de dire que 95 pays reconnaissent le caniche comme race française le rende dingue et s’évertue systématiquement à l’effacer et me menacer en plus de POV alors que c’est lui qui s’obstine sans aucune discussion à effacer des faits avérés. Please intervene to stop this constant threat against my edits. Cordialement --Gabriel HM (talk) 11:30, 27 August 2018 (UTC) And with the other “contributor:bHi, on the poodle page you have reverted 2 factual documented ref. Before doing so, you must explain why the fact that saying the 93 countries out 100,are recognising the poodle as a French breed is none of interest. Motive your cancelation on factual, scientific and probant ref. Furthermore why have you cancelled the ref from the America’s. Kennel club saying that the Bichon is descending from the Barbet and thus the poodle? Did you at least took the time to read the ref or just cancelled it by dogmatism? before engaging in a POV? Otherwise this is just vandalism. Prove that my ref are wrong, not pertinent and let’s go to an arbitration commity. This is childish and absolutely not in the compliance with the wiki rules. This is absolutely ludicrous to try to prevent by any mean to let in the article the fact that the overwhelming countries worlwide are considering the poodle as a french breed especially in the origin section of the breed I can't believe that all this mess is for this sentence which is by the way right, pertinent and documented I would add that erasing a ref stating that the poodle descends from the Barbet in not in accordance with the rule of wiki relating to the veracity of the info--Gabriel HM(talk) 16:17, 27 August 2018 (UTC) Well, let’s go to the arbitration commity and we’ll see who is keeping erasing pertinent, documented and neutral references. We’ll discusse how you have erased another ref from the american kennel club stating that the bichonn descends from the Barbet and thus the poodle. Let’s got to the arbitration committee and we’ll see who is not their right by keeping erasing the simple sentence That 93 counties worldwide asserts that the poddle is a French breed. If you are not afraid to make them lose their time, let’s go and expose your actions. There is a absolutly nothing wrong in this assertion especially that I never EVER cancelled the refs of the other contributor contrary to him. As far as I am concerned, the one that keeps erasing the ref of the article is not me. So if you wish, let’s go to the commity, and we’ll se what they think about your threats and perpétuel cancelation of a simple facts. Two man does not make the reality nor the truth. --Gabriel HM (talk) 16:27, 27 August 2018 (UTC) I never ever had any issue with any contributor by the past during t’ose 4 years, and I really really can understand of the fact to say with solid ref, that 93 countries in the world recognise the poodlevas à French breed can lead to an arbitration commity.this is a waist of time for you guys and intake it as personnalisable unfair, because ingphave always contributed with the greater respects for my fellow contrinpbutor, took the time to find the proper and factual ref and facts, and I never ever tried to erase or cancel the pertinent edits of the others. Seriously what can lead someone to persecute me and erase and threat me for this simple sentence that is right and factual. Another intervention to find a solution with another contributor that through the arbitration comity Is following: @PaleoNeonate:, please as ludicrous as it might be can you intervene in the subject of the poodle breed. They keep erasing proper and factual facts. I never ever touched they ref nor depreciated their assertions. Why on earth stating that the majority of the kennel clubs worldwide describe the poodle as a French breed intice systematic cancelation with threats. Since when accurate, pertinent and documented facts are CENSURED? My contributions does nort harm nor decredite any of their assertion, and this just pure intimidation and edit warring without real justification. Thank you --Gabriel HM (talk) 16:03, 27 August 2018 (UTC) And in a nutshell thisthe object of their obsession it is this sentence that is well documented “On the other hand the origin of the poodle is disputed amongst only 3 countries out of 95 worldwide . The British Kennel Club states that the breed originates in Germany,. Does this pertinent and we’ll documented sentence deserves this avalanche of cancelation and threat of an arbitration commity. Since when the,susceptibility of some contributors can overcome the reality of facts. I never ever altered their ref, so why are on a cruisade for this rightful affirmation. All of this does not deserve your time nor your attention. Thanks you for your time, and please forgive me for my English I am not a native speaker--Gabriel HM (talk) 17:17, 27 August 2018 (UTC) References

72bikers has previously been restricted and blocked for edits on gun-related pages. For instance see the first entry on [239], the current case on the DS notice board here, and the 1RR on gun control articles imposed by User:NeilN here.

Edit warring seems to be an ongoing pattern, and what's worse is a continuing refusal to accept the norms of wikipedia editing. 72bikers continually makes edits that are ungrammatical, poorly formatted, riddled with errors, and simply confusing to the reader. When challenged, they post walls of text [240] [241], aggressively berate other editors [242] [243], and generally display battleground behavior. They have forbidden other editors from posting on their talk page [244] [245], which creates a situation where their behavior can only be discussed on talk pages (where it doesn't really belong) or on noticeboards like this one. Personally, I think a topic ban is due. (I also posted this at the AE board). Waleswatcher (talk) 00:48, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

I agree, it's 4 vs 5. Also, it should be noted that WW's own behavior on this article and the related AR-15 article has been less than helpful.

There hasn't been 4 reverts in 24 hours, nor I would wait for that because this editor is an WP:SPA who is focused on edit warring to retain his WP:BROCHURE on this article.

He continues to edit war[246] even after receiving a warning for that.[247]

He believes his promotional content needs to be retained because he has spent a lot of time writing it than adhering WP:BRD and WP:NPOV. His recent talk page message further confirms he is not willing to write neutrally.[248]

This article was put under ECP by Kudpung on 9 May,[249] because of this SPA who avoids discussion of any of his edits as evident on the talk page itself.[250] After 1 month of ECP, this SPA returned and started his edit warring again.[251] This page has been evidently subject to similar promotional edits before.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [252][253] (both times I was the one to start discussion)

Comments:

Since there can be no reason to protect the page to retain his WP:PROMO version, I would say that this editor needs to self-revert himself and consider reading WP:BROCHURE and WP:NPOV before making any more edits. A better alternative is to put this article under ECP for another time. Lorstaking (talk) 16:37, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

• By OP's own admission there's no 3RR violation here, it seems Lorstaking has been on a one-person mission to defend this article against Nicomachian's edits, citing what Lorstaking has decided is promotional. It should be noted that Lorstaking was the first to revert in this dispute and only did so after three months of Nicomachian working on it, did so in a single 25kb revert, and continues to revert to that version even after the page has been full-protected. There's been some discussion on the talk page, in which most editors seem to be of the opinion that the edits were not so unduly promotional as to warrant Lorstaking's mass revert actions. I'd be interested in hearing what WP:RSN has to say about the sources being used, as a next step to determining whether or not the edits should be retained, rather than edit warring and blocking. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 17:14, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

• There is no 100% necessity to report only after 3RR violation. It seems that you have now planned to follow me wherever I go but you need to stop this harassment. It is completely misleading to say that I reverted after "three months" because Nicomachian made his first edit on 6 May[254] and I reverted him on 7 May,[255] there is no "three months" gap but less than one day. This is an SPA who's main focus is to edit war and retain his WP:BROCHURE and he is doing that since his first edit ever.[256] Even if his brochure was 50k bytes it has to be completely removed from here. I should not even highlight that a number of edits made by this editor are not even supported by the source, including the infobox edits which echoes that he has WP:COI with the subject, though I am just assuming good faith for now. Lorstaking (talk) 18:25, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

You're not assuming good faith at all, you assumed they're editing promotionally (in bad faith) and then all your arguments of wrongdoing are based on that assumption. The diff you provided for "confirms he is not willing to write neutrally" is the editor appealing for you to actually review the source, which they assert is journalistically independent of the subject, a concept that's normal for university presses. That's why I suggested you should try having that source reviewed at RSN, as that does seem to be the core of the dispute. And if their edits are not supported by the sources they're providing, then yes, absolutely you should mention that, why would you not? And yes, I agree that the editor is likely in a COI position, and perhaps has an undisclosed relationship. I'll follow up on that.

As for your accusation that I'm hounding you, that seems a bit hyperbolic. Another editor mentioned the poodle edit war to me as an example of silliest edit wars, while reviewing that I happened to notice it was on this page (section directly above, unless it's been archived), and I was reading through that when I saw your name here. I had also noticed earlier today that you queried Kudpung about this same page (I watch a lot of admins' talk pages), and I had opined yesterday (after being pinged) that I think you're making a habit of admin-shopping when you don't get your way and warned you about it, and so when I saw you had raised the same issue here as on Kudpung's page I decided to have a look and offer my input. To be fair to you, I had not noticed that Kudpung directed you to make a request at RFPP and I don't know if you did; like I said you really weren't on my radar until I saw your name here. Other than that, our only interaction was at SPI, where I'm a clerk. I'm not following you around, you just have happened to keep appearing in places I look over the last few days. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 19:10, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

I am assuming good faith that I tell him to familiarize himself with the policies than tell him to leave this all together. I had not reverted all edits but retained what seemed non-problematic. According to the diff he wants to show that the subject has a "rich history and remains an important part of the educational culture", which shows the lack of neutrality. As for reliability of sources, I think those points are better detailed on WP:IRS. Onus is on him to confirm how it is a reliable source but he probably know about the unreliability and he has been also using "Books LLC" (a Wikipedia mirror) as a source. I did said on talk page that "you have added enough information not supported by the source". Now when you have an editor who believes in ignoring all the concerns and sticks to his usual edit warring and alleges you of vandalising then you would want ask an admin (Kudpung in this case) who is already familiar with the case. Kudpung is not an admin anymore and I realized that very later. He told me to try RFPP but I found that ANEW would be better than RFPP because RFPP is not for long discussions. Lorstaking (talk) 03:42, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

• Comment I can see how the user’s edits come across at first glance to be promotional, but there’s also positive changes made to the article such as long overdue updates. I’m not entirely convinced that it is appropriate to fully revert them as a spammer. Why don’t you attempt to restore their changes and remove only the bits you think are blatantly promotional? Even if you think other content should be removed for other reasons after, start with that. If they are unwilling to tolerate even restrained attempts to remove promotional content, then that would be a clear problem and clear evidence to block them for promotion. But, it’s also possible they’re just a proud alumnus or student with a slight bias that’s reflected in their editing or something. If that’s the case, then you’re reverting good faith edits that somebody spent a lot of time on. I get where you’re coming from, but I’m inclined to agree that it’s hard to definitively tell who’s in the wrong here. Swarm ♠ 20:40, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

• I see they claim they have no connection to the subject and are just an admirer; this would explain why their edits come across as being positive, and that does not make them a spammer. This would best be dealt with if you stopped blanket reverting and separated their positive edits from the problematic ones. Swarm ♠ 20:47, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

We hardly ever see any person who would reveal their connection with the subject when inquired for the first time. A number of edits that he has been making without any sources are simply the kind of information that no one else would know except someone who is very close to the subject. You are correct about keeping correct edits and removing the promotional edits, and I have done that. Until now, he has contributed 25k bytes, I accepted 10k, even though the information was entirely unsourced[257] but not really a violation of core policies. He prefers to restore his preferred version all-together because doing otherwise is "vandalising the article" for him.[258] Lorstaking (talk) 03:44, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

May I respond to some of the allegations that have been made in this chain of communication? Most of the information in the (revised) history section was obtained primarily from the book on the subject published by the University of Chicago Press. Now there is a live dispute about whether such a source, which is editorially independent from the subject, may be cited in an article about the subject. (I say this is fine because in truth it is independent and there are many reputable university publishers like this one who publish material on the university of the same name; Lorstaking disagrees.) Putting that dispute to one side, the reason why some of the text in the history does not contain references is because I have not gone to the effort of inserting the same reference for every sentence; rather, the applicable source is the final reference that appears after a few sentences of text. In most cases, the applicable source is the University of Chicago Press book. This takes us back to the issue that has Lorstaking so hot under the collar: can such a source be cited at all, given the subject of the article?

Next, as I said on my talk page, I am an admirer of the subject. Everything I have written is uncontroversial and in the public domain. I have no inside information about the subject. What struck me when I first came across the article several months ago was how much little had been written on it compared to cognate subjects (such as Columbia Law School and Harvard Law School, to name only a few). This prompted me to expand the history section as well as the admissions and employment sections and more generally to bring the article to currency. It took some time and effort. Lorstaking implies that I want to hold on desperately to my edits because I put so much time and effort into them. Yes, I would like the edits retained, but I am not blindly defending my edits because I put a lot of time and effort into researching and writing them; I am defending them because I believe that they are justified (for all the reasons I have given on the subject’s talk page).

Now opinions seem to vary on whether the edits need to be toned down. I accept that some of the non-textual edits (such as the gallery in the alumni section and the new images in the body of the article) are not strictly necessary. I also accept that the article in some parts (but not without citation or justification in reality) uses normative or evaluative language. But this is not unusual for cognate subjects (refer to the ones above and also University of Pennsylvania Law School and the University of Virginia School of Law by way of example). If the powers that be decide that these aspects of the article should be omitted, then so be it. But, as I see it, this does not justify reverting edits en masse. My problem with the approach adopted by Lorstaking is that he has indiscriminately and systematically set out to revert edits en masse on an unfounded speculation that I am biased and that my edits amount to promotional material. In my view, the revised version of the article, with my and other user’s edits incorporated, should be the starting point from now. Its information is accurate, timely and (in my view, but subject to someone resolving the above dispute) supported by independent sources. There is no issue with making changes and tinkering with the article from that point; every Wikipedia user is entitled to make changes as they see fit. However, I do not think it is reasonable or fair to revert edits en masse without regard to the merits of those edits. I therefore propose to revert the article back to the version it was some 12 hours ago, from which point others are free to make constructive edits as they wish.

Finally, a few days ago I undid a mass revert by Lorstaking on the article and called his revert ‘vandalism’. I apologize for that; the mass revert was not vandalism in the sense used on Wikipedia, but I did think that the mass revert was unjustified. In any event, I am disappointed that this issue has escalated to the point that I have been reported. Lorstaking and I have had some disagreements over this page, but I certainly do not think that it justified a report. Nicomachian —Preceding undated comment added 05:50, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Update: In the past hour I have removed some content that may be seen as promotional or subjective. I don't see why it was so difficult to do this in the first place; it is certainly more useful than blanket reverting. Nicomachian —Preceding undated comment added 09:18, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

So you are agreeing that you added promotional content? Though it is more than what you see.

Nicomachian has made 2 more reverts since this report. Here are 4 recent reverts:

• 25 August.
• 27 August.
• 28 August.
• 28 August.

He is relying on providing misleading edit summaries in place of using talk page where two new participants have also opposed his edits.[259] Lorstaking (talk) 11:27, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Lorstaking no, I accepted that some edits were borderline and may be seen as promotional or subjective. I thought about your concerns, brought a critical mind to the task and have since removed the edits. We would have avoided this whole imbroglio if you had identified problematic edits rather than simply reverting everything wholesale. Please stop trying to paint me in a bad light. The fact that some users have joined what was originally your one-person mission to defend the article against my edits does not warrant the mass reverting. Nicomachian

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: diff of Talk

Comment: I am aware that Power~enwiki has reverted my last edit. I will cease editing the page until the dispute with Volunteer Marek is resolved. Volunteer Marek continues to remove well-sourced, relevant (in context), and proportionate material for, what seem to me, specious reasons as I have explained on the article's talk page. The Nation, Sydney H. Schanberg, McClatchy, and Editor & Publisher are all reliable sources. --Mox La Push (talk) 04:19, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

I reverted it based on the discussion on the talk page, where three editors disagreed with the addition. The justification for inclusion (that it was sourced material) was insufficient in that context. power~enwiki (π, ν) 04:23, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Volunteer Marek started reverting before there was any relevant discussion on the talk page. I started the discussion on the talk. Moreover, I have never claimed that the inclusion was justified merely because it is sourced material; that is not my position. --Mox La Push (talk) 04:37, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

• VM invoked the BLP. You countered it was not a BLP--but it is. I'm glad you stopped reverting. Drmies (talk) 04:25, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

I'm not convinced the content is a BLP violation, but WP:BLP definitely does apply to recently-deceased people. More relevantly, you need 4 reverts to violate the bright-line WP:3RR policy, and there are only three here. power~enwiki (π, ν) 04:27, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

I thought one can report edit warring before it gets to the fourth reversion. In fact, I thought it was considered preferable to seek an alternative means of resolving the dispute before someone crosses the "bright-line". Am I mistaken? --Mox La Push (talk) 04:41, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Somehow you don't see that the policy may apply to yourself? Here are your three reverts [276] [277] [278]. You also first denied, then ignored the main objection which was raised - that this was a BLP - and the fact that multiple users disagreed with you. Volunteer Marek 05:44, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Sure, I do see how 3RR/edit warring policy applies to me and that's why I took the initiative to try to resolve the dispute on the talk page. That's also why I did not violate 3RR and unilaterally suspended my editing of the article. As for BLP, I still deny the article is a BLP and that's why the notice was removed (not by me) from the talk page without evident objection. As for the special circumstances for a recently deceased person they are inapplicable to the main article content in dispute.--Mox La Push (talk) 02:09, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

I have never disputed that BLP can apply to recently deceased people. I am not convinced it is applicable in this case because the material in question is well-sourced and it does not have "implications for [the] living relatives and friends" of Sen. McCain. I'm not sure how the material is "contentious or questionable". I agree that Schanberg's et al. allegations were contentious at the time they were made and in the present but the fact that they were put forth and published by reputable sources shortly before the 2008 election seems to me neither contentious nor questionable. --Mox La Push (talk) 04:53, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Beware the WP:BOOMERANG. – Muboshgu (talk) 04:57, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

• I recommend trouts. McCain is clearly AP2 (there's a header on the talk page), so contentious material shouldn't be readded unless consensus has been reached (eg violating 1RR) However, Mox La Push has not appeared to been notified of AP2 sanctions in any proper form, so they would not know this. They should be notified and cautioned on this. On the other side, the material that was being added, while contentious, is not the type of poorly/unsourced material that 3RRNO would allow for edit warring to keep off; UNDUE certainly is not an argument to support a 3RRNO claim. But those removals were based on the fact that Mox was readding them inappropriately (but without knowledge of why that was wrong), so it's a honest mistake here. Hence trouts and a proper AP2 warning to Mox should be issued. --Masem (t) 14:08, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

• Comments by involved editor: The 3RR edits are stale, and neither of them went on to a fourth revert, so no action is needed here. The McCain article is CLEARLY covered by BLP. On the talk page there is currently a strong (6 to 2) consensus against inserting this material, so any further insertions into the article by Mox La Push could be grounds for a sanction. --MelanieN (talk) 18:40, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Comments:

That editor feels that Stephen G. Wheatcroft is A 'historian' who is hosted on Tripod, and whose understanding of WW2 is so astoundingly poor, should be discounted entirely from this article. and This historian should be deleted entirely from the article in my view. I'll stand by until someone else takes the time to look at this source as well as It is still my ardent view that the source is indefensible, and does not accurately make the claim that attributed to it in the Wiki article.

Multiple posts by me on the article talk page, over several days, and his replies including [284] et al.

The gist of his edits is to remove any possible comparison of the old Soviet regime to Hitler in number of deaths, even though Wheatcroft notes that some scholars actually give Stalin the higher rank..

' In addition, the editor has sought to impugn me directly, making personal attacks. [285] and [286] appear to me to be personal attacks. The latter was removed by Arkon

There is a discussion at WP:RS/N as well Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#peer-reviewed_articles_and_books_by_Stephen_G._Wheatcroft which SF has not engaged in.

I will note, that after I reverted this edit, he allowed the Governing source to stand (along with two other sources I had for practically identical content - reporting on a researcher's study), so I had no further issues with him on that article. (I still don't agree with his subsequent removal, but I was planning to write up justification on the talk page first before I re-add the removed material, because currently it is just my opinion against his.)

Comments:

First, Beyond My Ken will again claim I'm hounding him. The clear indication that this is not hounding is "fixing unambiguous errors or violations of Wikipedia policy, or correcting related problems on multiple articles", which is what I'm doing. For example I did this with other editors who posted their own research in blatant conflict-of-interests across multiple articles.

Beyond My Ken is participated in discussions of established community consensus on a wider scale in several topics. These discussions are reflected in RfCs, guidelines, and policies. For example tag placement, image placement, and sourcing pop-culture examples.

Beyond My Ken chooses to edit-war on these topics, against community consensus. He reverts with the ownership-indicating reasons of "better before", "status quo", and others. Some examples: Otto von Bismarck, Nazi Germany, striptease, lap dance, toplessness, and going back ten years of edit-warring to force his own style against consensus. Some examples with my involvement: exhibitionism, swastika, leggings, Irvington, New York.

Recent block and repeated 3RR violations:

Beyond My Ken was recently unblocked at the recommendation of administrators TonyBallioni, Fish and karate, Dlohcierekim, and Bishonen after edit-warring on holocaust denial. He then violated 3RR on another article, but was let off the hook. Similarly he frequently manages to avoid blocks despite "long term pattern" of article ownership.

This is a recurring, long term, frequent tendency to edit-war, and I didn't even mention some of his other-than-edit-warring disruptions. Bright☀ 13:05, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

I mean if Beyond My Ken said you were hounding them, they might be able to demonstrate some evidence of that lately [291] Simonm223 (talk) 13:16, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

The link to sourcing on pop culture additions goes to a RfC from three years ago that "in popular culture" lists do need sources that not only show that an entry actually exists but that it is significant in relation to the subject. Is BMK still adding unreferenced trivia to articles? Completely unacceptable if so.Smeat75 (talk) 13:37, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

The diffs in this are related to tag placement, moving a "more references needed" from the top to the reflist section repeated, but the 2015 RFC appearently had a clear conclusion that these type of messages should be at the top. BMK's attitude in the talk page discussion to resolve shows they are not likely going to follow this RFC result. --Masem (t) 13:45, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

• (Non-administrator comment) from the diffs, I can see 1 2 and 3 reverts to relocate a template and beyond 24 hours period. WP:3RR is not violated as such. This is a silly judgement on both parties to keep reverting. Talk it out on the talk page guys. If hounding is an issue, post it on WP:ANI with evidence, claiming hounding without solid evidence is a WP:PA. no comments on other articles. --DBigXrayᗙ 21:12, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
• As there is no 3RR vio and BMK has already bowed out, this can probably be closed with no action. Swarm ♠ 22:16, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

This report is about long-term edit-warring, not 3RR. No 3RR was violated this time, but there is a long history of edit-warring. Bright☀ 12:54, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

I am unsurprised to come across this notice. I anti-hound BMK: I generally avoid or walk away from articles that I know he's marked as "his" because there's no point in trying to discuss things him. But his territory is large and I occasionally stray into it, which is why I recently commented on his Talk page about a poorly excused revert. There I saw a notification about this complaint. I just want to add that '"long term pattern" of article ownership' is exactly how I would describe him. I can't recall a productive discussion with him. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 17:27, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

That's interesting, because aside from the current one on my talk page [292] -- which has not been very productive, due to your incorrect assumptions about my knowledge and understanding -- I can't recall any discussions with you at all. Must be my fallible memory. Yesterday, I forgot that my wife had told me that she was throwing out one of our white plastic stirring spoons. I was at a loss, because there was nothing appropriate to stir the iced tea with. Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:59, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Repeated edit-warring will not be adequately dealt with here BrightR, you will need to take it to WP:ANI with the usual raft of diffs to gain any traction. It's not the first time I've seen this kind of report "closed down" once someone has said "Oh, I won't edit that page again", which isn't really the purpose of WP:3RR, but in order to deal with longer term issues, this noticeboard is not a suitable venue.

Per recommendation on report at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism, as this is a repeated occurrence. A lot of this politician's supporters dislike the neutral assessment given by reputable sources that 8 state legislatures elected as Democrats caucused with GOP for a few years, and have been trying to scrub it from Wikipedia, despite it being widely reported and well sourced.
