UNID

Thanks for blocking Special:Contributions/203.17.70.53. FYI that is WP:UNID whom I haven't noticed for years. He adds links using a domain that he controls while having the domain redirect to a good website. Later (when we've all decided that the link is ok), he changes it to redirect to some page he wants to promote. Johnuniq (talk) 05:41, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting, thanks for the heads up. - Aoidh (talk) 14:50, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting input

Can I get word of advise in what to do at Talk:Breyers? I posted on NPOV/N and received some input from others and got some input on the talk page, but an editor and I clearly do not agree and there's no consensus to go with their version based on input, but other editors haven't stepped into article editing. I'm messaging you, based on Special:Diff/1233063011. Since there are more than two of us at talk page, 3PO can't be used. Where to go from here? Thank you Graywalls (talk) 21:04, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Graywalls: WP:3O is not the only form of Wikipedia:Dispute resolution, there is also for example Wikipedia:Dispute resolution#Requests for comment (WP:RFC) and Wikipedia:Dispute resolution#Dispute resolution noticeboard (WP:DRN). While I have blocked Zefr for edit warring, I do want to comment on this edit summary and point out that Wikipedia:Edit warring notes that the three-revert rule is a convenient limit for occasions when an edit war is happening fairly quickly; it is not a definition of "edit warring", and it is absolutely possible to engage in edit warring without breaking the three-revert rule, or even coming close to doing so. I would advise that you do not continue to revert this content to avoid being blocked for edit warring yourself, but seek dispute resolution as appropriate. - Aoidh (talk) 00:35, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I reached out you since I realized it wasn't getting anywhere between either of us and did not want to continue the back and forth and just seeking input on how I should proceed. I know doing a 3PO is quite easy, but making a 3PO request does require narrowing it down much further and proposing a more specific idea, doesn't it? I've never done DRN, so I'm not sure how to prepare one. Graywalls (talk) 00:41, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Graywalls: The very top of WP:DRN goes into detail about what DRN is for, and if you press the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/request there it will help you create the request, though if DRN is requested you should wait until User:Zefr is unblocked so that they can participate in the discussion. - Aoidh (talk) 02:39, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
