Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: WP:BLP discussion at WP:BLPN, consensus does NOT support inclusion: 14:54, 9 June 2017

Comments:

WP:Disruptive editing after six (6) prior blocks for same — in this case to add negative material about WP:BLP against consensus at WP:BLPN including myself, Nomoskedasticity, NorthBySouthBaranof, SPECIFICO, and Dumuzid, all clearly explaining why the material violates WP:BLP. Sagecandor (talk) 18:23, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Comment was added to user's page by NorthBySouthBaranof [2], comment blanked at [3]. Sagecandor (talk) 18:26, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

errr.... this is kinda stale (meaning datewise, not comment wise ) any block given at this point would be punative. Recommend this be closed as both stale and not a violation of 3rr or BLP. 2rr 2 days ago and 1 today? (And yes I know 3rr is not an entitlement and it's possible to be in violation without hitting 3 reverts). Also note the discussion on the BLP board where conensus hasn't yet been decided on this issue anyway. As far as is it continuing , nope, 1 time early today doesn't constitute "continuing ".  Ҝ Ø Ƽ Ħ  18:37, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Comment: Respectfully request admins look at this as disruptive editing, through WP:BLP violations (against consensus), not as 3RR. User continues to obfuscate, the disruption is ongoing and current at present, and likely to continue, unfortunately. Sagecandor (talk) 18:42, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) @Sagecandor: In which case, this is no longer the correct board is it? If the complaint is now regarding general behavioural patterns rather than a specific edoit-war/3RR violation, then AN/Incidents is the place to file. — O Fortuna ^{semper crescis, aut decrescis} 18:49, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Bureaucratic red tape aside, it is disruptive editing being actively done in order to violate WP:BLP, repeatedly. Sagecandor (talk) 18:51, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

I fully endorse WP:NOTBURO. But you want more eyes on such behaviour than are on ANEW; those are pretty serious accusations, and, likewise, deserve serious examination. — O Fortuna ^{semper crescis, aut decrescis} 19:11, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Blocked – 24 hours. This editor is part of a revert war where most of the contributors have less than 100 edits. I wonder if anyone would object to putting the article under WP:Extended confirmed protection for a month or two, due to the likelihood of socking.

Editor continues to engage in edit warring despite warning. In two of the reverts and as well on the 3RR warning I've mentioned discussing their viewpoint through the talk page. Editor has previous history of being warned about edit warring as shown here [4], [5], [6] Koodbuur (talk) 12:47, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

Editor 'Koodbuur' is vandalising pages with tribalist intent and anti-somalia agenda. The editor would not quite reverting edits which were accurate and correctly referenced. He was warned several times however, he displaces no intention quite vandalising pages. Cagadhiig (talk) 13:20, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

You've not even cared to explain the issue. And the first diff this user points out is not a revert, but an edit of my own, so that doesn't count in terms of 3RR. Impru20 (talk) 13:23, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

No, it is not true, taking into account the addition of Melencron that Impru has removed, it has violated the 3RR.--Panam2014 (talk) 13:25, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

This is already explained below. For the 3RR to be violated, you must fulfill two conditions: 1) that there are three reverts (and my first edit was not one) and 2) that these be made within a 24-hour time span (I made the edit 4 days after it was first introduced). You've went as far as to violate 3RR twice, accusing me of what you did by reporting me here without even caring to notice me on my talk and then removing my own notice on your talk page in order to accuse me of not noticing you (which is rather absurd, as we can just get the diffs to see what you did). Impru20 (talk) 13:36, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

He have liquidated that that edit in two times : [30] and [31]. So he have clearly violated the 3RR. --Panam2014 (talk) 13:46, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

Comments:
User is keeping making reverts to other users' edits, claiming that these couldn't be done without a consensus (that is neither required, because of his pretended edits being WP:OR, nor there's an existing one on this issue). I warned him that he violated the 3RR when first reverting me (because he already reverted the same content from another user when he tried to edit it), yet not only denied this but accused others of violating the 3RR instead (while keeping the reverting on). Impru20 (talk) 13:18, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

It is a lie. I haven't violated the 3RR for a second time. In a first time, Impru20 have reverted that edit after 4 days. --Panam2014 (talk)

Then, he made others reverts

1. [32]
2. [33]
3. [34]

Also, it is not an original research. --Panam2014 (talk) 13:22, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

The first diff is an edit of my own, not a revert. Impru20 (talk) 13:25, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

There's anything establishing that something suddenly becomes consensus after three days and must be set in stone after that, forbidding others from editing it. You've violated the 3RR twice and pretend to report others on this. You also've not even cared to explain the issue on your report or even noticed me on my talk that you were reporting me. I think this is very straightforward. Impru20 (talk) 13:25, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

I'd also like to point out that this discussion was also taking place at here. Impru20 (talk) 13:26, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

It is false. You have reverted that editfor 3 times. --Panam2014 (talk) 13:26, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

You've violated the 3RR and pretend to report others on this. You also've not even cared to explain the issue on your report or even noticed me on my talk that you were reporting me. I think this is very straightforward. --Panam2014 (talk) 13:29, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

You should first learn what a revert is. Then, even if you intended to accuse me of violating 3RR, you should know that the 3RR applies to consecutive edits made within a 24-hour span. This edit you argue that I "reverted" was done on 6 June, and you yourself acknowledge it's been four days since it. So it's not 3RR even if we were to consider my edit as a revert (which it isn't).

I'd also like to point that this user has reverted the 3RR notice I posted in his talk page in order to accuse me of not noticing him. Impru20 (talk) 13:31, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

Also, the user seems keen on copying my own expressions, it seems. Impru20 (talk) 13:34, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

He has removed the notice on his talk for a second time. Impru20 (talk) 13:40, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

It is lie. I haven't removed that for accusing him but for archiving that because I have seen that. Also, he is not welcome in my talk page. Second, the second revert has been made by another contributor. Also, I have copied his own expressions characterize his own behavior. For the rest, he have liquidated that that edit in two times : [35] and [36]. So he have clearly violated the 3RR. I know who is a revert. --Panam2014 (talk) 13:45, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

Yes, I know; that's why I removed the accusation, because I noticed it was another user reverting me (and he has already explained the issue on my talk, with which I agree fully).

Well, it can't be a lie when you accused me of not noticing you. You were noticed and then you removed it, and then accused me of not noticing you. I invite the admins to check the dates if needed.

I of course don't deny I conducted two reverts... but that is not a violation of 3RR I think. This user, however, made two separate three-reverts on two separate parts of the article, so that would be a double violation of 3RR.

The issue self-explains itself, I'll leave this up to the admins to resolve, since I don't think there's anything additional to comment aside from what has been explained. ~~

He haven't the right to revert me. You have accused me, but I haven't accuse you. --Panam2014 (talk) 13:53, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the alert, Theroadislong.

I've been reverting this other editor countless times and informed them that their additions to these articles do not seem to be beneficial, bloated plot summaries, no sources and trivia cruft, (also possible copyright violations). Every time I have contacted them they have left no response, not even in the edit summaries. I realize in hindsight that I'm also not completly well behaved in this situation since I have violated the three revert rule but I feel like I'll leave this in someone elses hands from now on since I've grown tired of trying to reach this person.

User clearly has done more than three edits and continually cites biased and incorrect sources. I and user:108.36.207 have tried to tell him to take this to the talk page until a consensus is reached in order to avoid a potential editing war on the actual article page. Yet he continually says he can't see that there has been a discussion open since May 12 (Southern Succession)on the talk page and lists his personal taste as the reason he continues to make the change. Furthermore, saying you are not the owner of the article so he will do whatever he pleases. Chilicheese22 (talk) 17:21, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

• Continues disruptive behavior he has been warned by me and user:108.36.207 I have put a notice on his page that I have reported him Chilicheese22 (talk) 20:45, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

This report is a farce. The user above initiated mass removals on the Yemeni Civil War article, getting rv'ed by me and has been urged to adhere to WP:BRD, but he seems to suffer from WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT when notified and resorts to edit warring, failing to substantiate such mass removals on the talk page. No 3RR violation has actually taken place, and I would also request a CheckUser to investigate User:108.36.207.213 for User:Chilicheese22 and User:2017NewYearNewMe. --176.23.1.95 (talk) 21:43, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

I just wanted to clean up the very messy infobox on the Yemeni Civil War page. :-) 2017NewYearNewMe (talk) 21:57, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

My suspicion about 108.36.207.213 and User:Chilicheese22 was correct. But I was incorrect about you. I will give you an apology for my hasty presumption. --176.23.1.95 (talk) 08:56, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

• It seems like User: 176.23.1.95 continues to push his biased and incorrect information and gets angry when someone calls him out for it or wants to discuss the information in greater detail, there has been a major 3RR violation because me and User:chilicheese22 have put out warnings to him and User:Ilisiapedia that we would like to debate the issue of whether or not we should put the STC in the infobox but it seems like he can't comprehend WP:BRD. Also if this topic is of such high concern where has he been since May 11 when the STC was announced and how come this became such a relevant topic only when User:Ilisiapedia decided to make the edit without giving any explanation when there had been a discussion on the topic since May 12. Furthermore, User:Ilisiapedia has been confirmed by a check user as a sockpuppet of User:Beickus and I would request a check user to investigate User: 176.23.1.95 as a potential sock puppet for User:Beickus who has been banned for situation like these.108.36.207.213 (talk) 22:54, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Yea, continue smearing me with personal attacks instead of explaining your mass deletions, in which you have no consensus. You don't understand the concept of WP:BRD - you made a bold edit (i.e. the large deletions), and I revert you. Thus it is your turn to rationalize your edits at the talk page, which you have not done - you shouldn't go edit warring against me. It is your burden to account for such edits - why should I be explaining all the issues of such deletions? You could just delete the whole article and I'd have to write a 10000 word essay on why not to delete every single detail. This is absurd. Also, you have not presented any actual diffs of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page, because you have not made such a section. Your links in Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning and Diffs of the user's reverts are a complete mess. Lay down your WP:BATTLEGROUND mentality and start discussing instead of forcing your edits through. --176.23.1.95 (talk) 08:23, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

You do realize that everyone can see the edits and the edit summaries and therefore can see that you're lying about there being no explanation. If you believe any of the editors involved are sockpuppets, by all means launch an investigation. I think checkuser will find myself in Canada and Modernist in New York (I believe).

• (Non-administrator comment) Jetstreamer, unless you (1) have warned the user beforehand on their talkpage about edit-warring and 3RR violations, (2) have initiated a discussion of the issue on the talkpage of the article (not the user's talkpage), and (3) can demonstrate at least four reverts, preferably within 24 hours (and the last revert needs to be after you have properly notified the user on their talk page and opened a discussion on article talk), the report isn't really actionable and will receive a result of "No violation". I suggest you open a discussion on the talk page of the article, and if necessary utilize some form of dispute resolution, including posting a neutral query on the talkpage of the relevant WikiProject.

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: The article is ISIS related, and a 1RR has been instituted on the talk page, which the user is aware of. However, she has also been warned in every edit summary to stop reverting (by multiple users, never me), but she has continued to do so. She clearly knows what she is doing but is determined to get his view in regardless.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: She created a discussion on the article's talk page. No one agreed with her, but she cites it as evidence that his edits are justified. There are multiple people (including myself) who told him to stop and saying his edits did not make sense. Obviously she doesn't care.

Comments:
For most of the month, this user has been taking out items from the list, knowingly without consensus. She has taken out 30,000 bytes repeatedly, and those four edits above have occurred in the past two days. The article has a 1RR. She is clearly too determined to get his edit through. El cid, el campeador (talk) 13:27, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

@Sport and politics: I'd like to hear what you have to say here - it's rather clear that although you created a discussion on the article's talk page relating to the changes you're wanting to make, you made the edits without waiting for people to reply. I note the discussion was added today, so it's not like it's been ignored for a couple of days either. I don't see any direct 1RR violations by the user, however this behaviour in such a sensitive subject area isn't the best idea -- There'sNoTime ^{(to explain)} 13:40, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

This is a content issue, and there is lengthy discussion on the talk page, which I would like to draw the above user to here on the discussion page of the article. To claim there are no discussions is a fallacy. If there is a wish to comment on this content issue, please do so.as discussions are there for a reason. if there is an issue with editing by myself I have a talk page which is easily usable, where a discussion can be had. A far more appropriate place would have been talking on my talk page first, before opening an issue on this page. Remember to always assume good faith.

Simply stating that a page has a 1RR and it not being made known clearly to editors prominently is akin to violation by stealth. As how on earth can one be expected to know about something which is not made clear. 1RR notices need to be prominent on the page such as it is with this page. Having blurb at the top of the talk page which falls squarely in to WP:TLDR, is simply not enough in making users aware of the issue. To assume a user is aware, is just that an assumption, if you wish to make a user aware of this fact let them know on their talk page.

This appears to be a hopeless report, which has no legs. this is far to premature. I have a talk page talk on there, this is a waste of time on here. I would also like to point out I am being thanked by other editors for my actions on this page, and was thanked by the editor who reverted the edit I made, for starting the discussion. I feel this should be closed as it is in the wrong place, this is a content issue and nothing more. Talk on my talk page or on the article talk page as appropriate. I see no reason for this to be here and no reason for me to comment any further on this issue. If there is anything which is wishing to be said to me please say so on my talk page. If there is an issue which is being had regarding editing I am doing, talk on my talk page first. This is daft and unnecessary.

The only constructive thing I can see that has arisen from this here is that there is a clear demonstration of the need for the page to have a page notice on it, as it currently does not have one. That way innocent editors, suc as myself will not be caught out by stealth and wildly unnecessarily be reported here in the future.

Sport and politics (talk) 14:26, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

@There'sNoTime:

Did you not realize that removing 30,000+ of sourced content again, and again, and again, and again, despite being reverted by different people each time, was improper? And as for notice conventions, that is not anything I have to do with, and the 1RR is effective even without notice. El cid, el campeador (talk) 14:48, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

I only mentioned 1RR, which wasn't violated from what I can see (1 revert in a 24 hour period). @Sport and politics and El cid, el campeador: are you happy to continue this discussion here as suggested? I don't particularly want to block anyone, but I have fully protected the article so this can be discussed -- There'sNoTime ^{(to explain)} 15:45, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

:@There'sNoTime: Thank you, I appreciate your attention to this. I don't want anyone to get blocked either, but sourced content was being blanked repeatedly, and this should give us a good opportunity to discuss. If @Sport and politics: wishes to, I would support starting an AfD or other method to discuss excluding certain events. El cid, el campeador (talk) 15:53, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

@El cid, el campeador: I would recommend having a look through our dispute resolution methods (such as using these noticeboards) -- There'sNoTime ^{(to explain)} 15:55, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

The editing is not being reverted each time, that is not an accurate reflection of the editing history, please see that multiple users have removed content, in line with discussion on the talk page, which adds up to the 30,000 that is being alluding too. Also please read the discussions at hand, and please talk on a user page first. Read the whole discussions and see the whole of the editing history.

Hidden 1RR notices buried in a WP:TLDR block which is not read, as few in anyone reads the top of a discussion page, they simply start a new discussion or go to the relevant discussion on the page. Stating 1RR is enforce is no matter, indicates that WP:Bureaucracy needs pointing out, and that stating 1RR is enforce no matter is not in the spirit of an open wikipedia community with WP:Bold editing as a key principle. Again remember to always assume good faith. This is though the wrong place for this discussion. Please continue this on my talk page which is where I shall be continuing this discussion should it be wished to be continued. Sport and politics (talk) 15:02, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Please find this discussion on my talk page here, as it is a more appropriate location. Sport and politics (talk) 15:07, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

As a final point I would like to make clear that El cid, el campeador (talk) has contributed to the discussion they are claiming is non-existant here, and claims of no support are also untrue see this here and here. This is a matter of the pillars of wikipedia relating to verifiability of the information being relied upon as a source, backing up the claims being made. This is a very poor report to here, and more research on the claims being made should have done before they were wildly bandied about. Sport and politics (talk) 15:32, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Its a relief that sense has prevailed here. I think the overriding thing to take away from this is to go to a talk page first rather than running to administrators. Talkinfg to other users is far more constructive than this confrontational method. Sport and politics (talk) 16:16, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

False. It is not edit-warring to revert page-blanking of an active deletion discussion. Moreover, the other editor involved stated that he would accept the COVFEFE Act article (on a notable proposed law to include Social Media in the Presidential archive) if I changed my name to one without Covfefe in it. I merely did as I was asked when it was complained my original choice of name was not policy-compliant, and now I am being attacked, savagely, for seeking to allow the Community to give its consensus as to whether this act has notability, before it is permanently disappeared. The Act goes beyond the scope of Donald Trump's use of Social Media, the proposed redirect, since if passed, it would apply to all future presidents, and perhaps to Obama as well. No arguments were given as to why the page should be merged, or why a discussion would be harmful. Thank you. As you wish (talk) 22:14, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

I believe it's against the rules to immediately nominate a page you created for deletion. Power~enwiki (talk) 22:20, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

What rule is it against? And if it is indeed against the rules, why would that be the case? If another editor unilaterally deletes a page, and the article creator would like others to engage in a discussion as to whether the topic is worthy of its own page, what is the possible objection to having a discussion? As you wish (talk) 22:26, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

The other editor stated as follows: "I'm happy for this article to be created by a user WITHOUT "Covfefe" in their username." As such, I took this as a request to change my username, and did so. I made absolutely plain I was the same User, and had chosen a new name at his explicit request, so that the much-needed article could be created. What is the problem?As you wish (talk) 22:18, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

You're edit-warring with other editors, not me. Power~enwiki (talk) 22:20, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Admittedly, one diff is them originally adding the information, and three diffs are them disruptively adding exactly the same in formation three consecutive times (without being reverted) in a bit of a temper tantrum.

This user appears to have an edit warring habit which is a cause for concern, user continues to blank warnings given to them on their talk page. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:54, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello. Interesting how this person Knowledgekid87 likes to poison the well with irrelevant remarks about "habit". To bias any busy hasty Admin who happens upon this unfair reporting (the people who have been violating WP policy against "NO OWN" and "I DON'T LIKE" are the real violators and edit-warriors here. The problem in THIS case is that The people here have it backwards. Provably so.

If someone is lying saying something is "duplicated" elsewhere in the article when there's literally NO mention anywhere else in the article the name "Terminate the Republicans" it's hard to "assume goo faith" when it's obvious that that's NOT what's really going on here. But more like suppression of sourced facts, per lefty agendas maybe (??) against WP policy. This is ALL OVER THE NEWS, on TV and on the Net. What's valid argument to remove it?? And no, the only ones truly "edit-warring" and violating WP policy are the suppressors that I'm undoing, and what's to "assume good faith" when they're flat-out LYING when they say "duplicate" when that's simply not true. This is a wiki. No one person owns any article, and no "opinion" is needed to include the sources fact that this perp was part of that FB club.

Anyway, I'm not edit-warring, I'm restoring sourced referenced facts THAT EDIT-WARRIORS AND SUPPRESSORS KEEP WRONGLY AND UNREASONABLY REMOVING, with literally zero sound argument or rationale for it. There's no mention of this sourced fact anywhere in the article. What is going on now is just SUPPRESSION OF FACTS that you don't like to be revealed. He was part of a FB club called "Terminate the Republicans". Nowhere is that mentioned. Restored. Namarly (talk) 16:41, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

...yeah... TimothyJosephWood 16:58, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

The content isn't as big of an issue as your behavior is. If you continue to blow up and insist that your edits be included then it is going to lead to trouble, please take issues to the talk page of articles and keep a cool head. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:59, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

You're assuming bad faith here, TimothyJosephWood and assuming incorrectly. No temper tantrum, that was unintentional problem with my laptop that froze. You call that civil on your part though, to barf up that rude insult of "temper tantrum"? Instead of "assuming good faith" that maybe there was a weird problem with my computer? It's old, and it froze. I'm on my desktop computer now. See what happens here though? Poison the water is a logical fallacy. The real violators are all of you who ignore the actual specific issue and want to suppress valid sourced information that you don't like. That other thing was a problem with my laptop, and not intentional. And irrelevant to this particular matter. The point is nowhere in the article was it mentioned already the FB club of "Terminate the Republicans". So where was the "duplicate" exactly? Namarly (talk) 16:41, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

This seriously did not need to blow up like this, all you had to do was this: [108]. The bit "It's revealed that he was a Bernie supporter, and said that Trump was a traitor" was duplicated. Instead you argued with editors via edit summaries, and engaged in disruptive editing. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 17:08, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

No, Knowledgekid87, it didn't have to blow up like this, if you guys only left the sourced and valid edit alone, and respected it, instead of removing and suppressing information with bogus provably false excuses of "duplicate" (the phrase "Terminate the Republicans" was nowhere in the article), and constantly deleting and disrespecting. Yeah, if you none of you did any of that nonsense, that this rude violator Timothy with his bad-faith assumptions and insults and unfair reporting of this matter etc would not happen. The onus is on the suppressors, not on the editor placing and restoring sourced and absent valid information. Regards. Namarly (talk) 17:15, 14 June 107 (UTC)

I wasn't sure if this was the appropriate place to report this edit warring, but these two editors (who I assume are the same person) have been flooding my watchlist with their edit warring. If you take a look at their contributions (see Special:Contributions/JJMC89 & Special:Contributions/Theamazing123), they've been constantly reverting each other for the last hour on a large number of different articles. Note that I did not send any warnings to the individuals since this does not seem to be a legitimate edit war; it seems to be just a person wasting Wikipedia server resources. Note also that if you take a look at the user's page logs, it looks like there are a considerable number of sockpuppets that have been made. 青い(Aoi) (talk) 01:33, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

The IP editor has not violated WP:3RR, but their activity in multiple articles indicate that edit-warring behavior will continue. This has now involved at least three other editors aside from myself, and multiple warnings on the IP's talk page as well as an attempt to discuss on an article's talk page have all gone unheeded. The examples above are just a small subset of what I could have included here. I'm not sure that a block is warranted at this point, but a warning may be in order. However, a block may be the only way to get their attention, as notices haven't elicited a response thus far. --GoneIn60 (talk) 20:42, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Even after this discussion was initiated and a notice posted on the IP's talk page about this discussion, the edit-warring activity continues (diff). Clearly, they are watching the pages and/or seeing the red alerts, since the reverts are happening so quickly. So I'm not sure it's possible at this point that they just aren't seeing the notices. A brief block may definitely be the better option now. --GoneIn60 (talk) 21:02, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Comments:
The content I reverted was not my addition, but I reverted it two times per the general rule of neutrality advising not to blank. The user is very active, reputable and probably widely respected here but today demonstrates edit-warring, insulting and ignoring behavior, violation of the 3RR. So I am (almost) sure that the request would be declined for this reason due to the insistance of other users but it wouldn't be fair if the rules here don't apply for everybody so I had to submit the request. In addition there were personal attacks on several occasions referring to me as a disruptive editor([138]) although I behaved completely civil without provoking it. When I cited[139][140] the general rule stating that any user should normally not blank and edit-war, but use editing process, tags and talk pages, the user continued to revert to a breaking point, didn't answer but showed an emotional response in the talk page instead citing WP:TLDR(too long didn't read) and WP:DNFTT(alleging me as a troll) combined edit-warring with the explanation - an insult calling me a "chronic disruptor".[141] [142] All this I regard as unacceptable behaviour both abusing editing privileges and personal attacks. Maybe I provoked with something in the distant past, I don't remember to have made personal attacks against this user, but right now I didn't abuse my privileges. The user alleged me of harrassing, but you can check the edit summaries and talk pages to see whether I state any personal attacks. Unwilling to discus the user also alleges me of stalking for which also there is no evidence. The edits of the user were also tendentious and aimed at using Wikipedia for propagandizing of one of multiple views and deleting all different views other than regarding Bartholomew as the prime patriarch of 300 million people. This was a violation of neutrality.Judist (talk) 03:38, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

So what you did here is you stalked another user (because you had never edited the article before), reverted them just to spite them (because it was a dispute you were not involved in), and then ran here as soon as you thought you "had" them on 3RR. Unfortunately for you, you seem to be unaware that removing poorly sourced material to the biography of a living person is exempt from 3RR, and that adding such material (not to mention edit-warring over it) is a violation of WP:BLP. So not only are you guilty of WP:HOUND and WP:STALK, you are also guilty of WP:BLP and WP:GAME. I think this time you will find out about WP:BOOMERANG. Khirurg (talk) 03:50, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

Thank you Khirurg. This account has a long history of anti-Greek edits and large-scale edit-warring, as well as a block log including a week-long block for edit-warring. His battleground mentality has reached a new plateau by the addition of wikihounding. He also had recently filed a vindictive 3RR report in which SilentResident was involved in arguing against him, and so Judist decided to get SilentResident now by going at the patriarch Bartholomew article to argue against SR. At that 3RR report EdJohnston had commented that Judist may deserve a topic ban due to his longterm disruptive editing. He just arrived at the Patriarch Bartholomew talkpage, in an article he has never edited before, agitating for the addition of original research using specious arguments. His very first addition was gratuitous SYNTH, clearly not supported by the multiple cited sources and was meant as a provocation since he stalked my edits and those of SilentResident to the article and then started adding the very SYNTH I was arguing against on the talkpage. When I added many other sources supporting the statement of the wide recognition of the patriarch as a spiritual leader, he kept adding SYNTH disclaimers to the lead in clear violation of BLP, OR and NPOV policies. He started rapid-fire edit-warring adding badly-sourced original research in the BLP article, just to provoke an edit-war, although I had explained in detail why this material does not belong in the lead of the article. He needs a block for harassment as well as for his battleground mentality. Dr. K. 04:49, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

As an example of the trash sources Judist added to the article, observe a source from "katehon.com" in these edits by Judist: diff1 and diff2 and then read a representative article from "katehon.com": The Military/Security Plot Against Trump Is Real. Also this is an excerpt of the actual source that Judist inserted in the article from "katehon.com": What is your view of what is called the ‘Pan-Orthodox Council’? I have been following the stages in the development of this farce for 40 years and there is a spiritual principle about humility which has been ignored from the very beginning.. This is quite apart from the SYNTH added at the lead, in the same edits: ...and as the spiritual leader of 300 million Orthodox Christians worldwide, which is the official position of Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, yet his status as first among equals is rejected by the heads of other Eastern Orthodox Churches and the Turkish authorities., as if Turkey has expert standing in Orthodox Church religious affairs. Dr. K. 07:53, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

I did not stalk in any article of my watchlist. Wikipedia is free and you can't limit me which article to edit. Stalking you is a complete imagination and you know it because I haven't reverted you in edit conflicts since a year or two! There was only one case when you stalked me before two years and I responded back then. You edit every day or week, I don't stalk you for so long time but now I am stalking you? The point was that the part which you consider disputed material should be edited or removed instead of blanking entire sections. The material has to be poorly sourced and contentious to qualify for an exemption, but it was well known uncontentious material, i.e. 1. the rejecting position of the Turkish government (seeThe Turkish government banned the term 'Ecumenical' and Bartholomew was prosecuted according to the official website of the European Union) and the well known opposing perspective of the Russian Church, 2. quotes from international scandals, all can be verified by major newspapers about the scandal in Geirgia, Greek newspaper about the scandal in Bulgaria. There should have been reporting to the BLP noticeboard instead of relying on this exemption and straightforward edit-warring. I would greet you if you don't be banned. Happy editing ! Please avoid tendentious edits in future controversial topics. Thank you. Judist (talk) 05:04, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

Judist, I have asked you multiple times in the past to familiarize with Wikipedia's rules, but I am disheartened to see that you haven't done so despite multiple warnings and after your failed 3RR filling on ANI against fellow User:TaivoLinguist. Instead, What I am seeing now is that you are submitting another weak 3RR filling, against User:Dr.K. this time. I have lost any hope that you could ever change or remedy for your past behavior.

I reverted this edit with the summary "Unexplained", and they reverted my edit with the edit summary: "nothing is unexplained except your bizarre belief that this is somehow less neutral than previous. so explain it.", which I consider as personal attack as they claimed I have a "bizarre belief". This report is also malformed. Hayman30 (talk) 08:08, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

"Badly" is neither non-neutral nor "informal". Even if it were, that does not grant you the right to revert four times in 45 minutes. I think you need to explain here why you did that. Also what is the relation between you and user:Tornsado who seems to wish to defend you? 2.25.45.179 (talk) 08:15, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

This is not the place to discuss content changes. That should happen at Talk:Algiers Motel incident after the first revert. This page is about edit warring behaviour. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:17, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

 Administrator note I have already blocked User:Tornsado for his/her disruptive behaviour. However it seems clear that both Hayman30 and 2.25.45.179 were edit warring on Algiers Motel incident so a short block might be in order for both of them. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:16, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

There are no talk page posts regarding their dissatisfaction over my revert, nothing was placed on my talk page before the notice of this discussion. Hayman30 (talk) 08:48, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

You gave no explanation of your revert at any point, despite my requests that you do so. You simply used the same software-generated edit summary three times. This suggested to me that you were not even reading my edit summaries. That, the obviously incorrect notion that "badly" could be less neutral than "brutally" (are you a native English speaker?), and the two minute intervals between your reverts, hardly suggested that a talk page discussion would be something you'd get involved in. Why did you revert three times in 4 minutes and 4 times in 45? 2.25.45.179 (talk) 09:17, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

The "software-generated edit summary" was the explanation, "Not adhering to neutral point of view" expressed how your edit seemed less than neutral to me. I also left a note on your talk page, but you quickly removed it, with the summary "editor must have misunderstood something" (diff). If you think I have misunderstood something, you should have started a discussion on the article's talk page after my first revert, but instead you reverted my edit with no explanation whatsoever. It does not grant you the ticket to not start a discussion on the article's talk page, you assumed that I would not get involved. Hayman30 (talk) 09:33, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

No, it did not express how. And you have still given no explanation as to why you reverted 4 times in 45 minutes. 2.25.45.179 (talk) 09:49, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

As for how, it's a content dispute, please discuss on the article's talk page. Hayman30 (talk) 09:57, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

So now the reporter has started a discussion on the article's talk page and we are trying to resolve the dispute. I have also reversed my own most recent reversion, and I understand that my reverts are unacceptable. I should have avoided performing more than three reverts and I should start a discussion on the article's talk page in advance to prevent edit warring from happening and developing. In the future, I will bear this in mind and try to discuss the dispute with others before reverting their edits, or after they reverted my edits, in order to reach a consensus. Hayman30 (talk) 12:18, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

• Result: No action, since a proper discussion is now under way on the talk page. Both parties are advised not to revert again until agreement is reached. EdJohnston (talk) 16:43, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

Action needed to be taken this morning when the user was reverting disruptively. What's the use in posting reports here if they will be ignored until many hours later? Is that normal? I reported a different user for vandalism at AIV and it was dealt with in less than two minutes there. 2.25.45.179 (talk) 21:22, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

Neither of you was a vandal and this appeared to be a good-faith dispute. If the report had been handled by an admin right after you opened it it might have been logical to block both parties. (Both of you went past 3RR). EdJohnston (talk) 22:59, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

Person continues to add copyrighted images to articles without fair use rationale and has ignored several explanations and warnings that this is not ok. (Has also over ridden an image with a completely different one, which seems unconstructive to me but I'm not sure is not allowed.) Has also refused to engage in talkpage discussion after being pinged. Keeps citing IMDb despite numerous editors telling them over and over again that that is not good. This is right after being blocked for similar edit warring recently.★Trekker (talk) 21:17, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

I had made many mistakes while creating articles on wikipedia, but, along the way, I have learned how to download images properly, and fixed these mistakes. The only "editor" that continues to harsh me is *Trekker who ridicules first and then wonders why I won't communicate with him on talkpage. I have successful download the images for Howling (Franchise) and Universal Soldier (Franchise) and did not mean to break any rules. Lastly, the only editor that tells me that IMDB is not good is *Trekker. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MSENDER007 (talk • contribs) 22:32, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

By well-established consensus, IMDB is "not good". See WP:RS/IMDB and WP:CITINGIMDB. And I believe you mean upload rather than download. General Ization ^Talk 22:54, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

No, MSENDER007, that's not true. I've looked through the history of your talkpage and it clearly seems to me that you have been warned by other people that you shouldn't cite IMDb. You have also been reverted by other people as well many times, I don't know why you seem to think I have some funny times going after you for no reason. Also, thinking that someone is a dick is not a reason to ignore discussion, by that logic I should have never attempted any talkpage discussions at all with you.★Trekker (talk) 09:07, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

• If this had been posted to WP:ANI by someone skilled at wikipolitics, MSENDER007 might have been blocked already. He makes a lot of edits, and I don't want to go through them all. But the ones I saw look disruptive. He's repeatedly removing {{pp}} tags I added to articles because of his sock puppetry, adding unreliable sources, and edit warring. He also seems to be uploading duplicate images (see File:Universal Soldier Theatrical Poster.jpg and File:Universal soldier ver1.jpg). @MSENDER007: the more I dig through your edits, the more disruptive they seem. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:29, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

The problem with MSENDER007 seems to be that he really doesn't know much about wikipedia despite trying to edit so much, and is completely unwilling to take advice or learn from his mistakes.★Trekker (talk) 09:07, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

User is hitting revert without explaining in their edit summaries, Upon the users 3rd revert I took it to the talkpage and left a warning on their talkpage however 10 minutes later there's been no response or discussion, Ofcourse they may not be at their PC now however they were quick enough to revert so I assume there on a pc just unwilling to discuss the reverts/issue, Thanks –Davey2010^Talk 15:20, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Definitely edit warring in vio of 3RR. At the very least, this (currently) single purpose account should be strongly warned. They are a new user and probably don't have an understanding of why Davey's warnings and reasons for reverting are appropriate. At the most, it would seem a 24-hour block might do the trick. The new user ignoring warnings and discussion is not helping -- an explanation for why he keeps readding inappropriate content would be helpful in understanding why he's doing it. No communication is making things worse. Whatever the outcome, someone needs to revert back out what this new account has added back in. Davey's reasons for reverting based on policy are sound. -- ψλ ● ✉ ✓ 15:32, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Made a revert after my notification that this user was in an edit war. Vin09, another party involved in the conflict was assuming good faith and reverted it while putting in the summary to wait for a consensus to be made on the talk page. DJAustin (talk) 15:14, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Just saw the page with wrong info, so just improved it here, so that new users may not get confused with existing town, Kovvur. Later, the user removed his own content and wrote summary as, IM3847 you first provided information is correct sorry i made useless edits to kovur, Nellore district, and restored them here. Also, can check the discussion Talk:Kovur,_Nellore_district, started after initial revert. This edit was not a revert, but restoration only after the user wrote on talk that his content was wrong and reverting to older version. The user however has restored non ref content and best version is this which needs some correction at top for disambiguation.--Vin09 (talk) 15:38, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Comments:

There is clear intention here to ignore warnings on their talk page, and the IP editor (at two different IPv6 addresses noted above) has not provided any edit summaries. In fact, it appears that they are making 4 or 5 edits at a time in an attempt to make reverting more difficult. When you look at several of the edits in a row, it doesn't make sense they would change one small part, then change it right back. They must be aware of the "undo" option not realizing there are other tools available to revert multiple edits at once. While they have not violated WP:3RR, the intention to continue edit-warring is clear. I suggest a three-day block in hopes it will get their attention and perhaps bring them to respond on a talk page. --GoneIn60 (talk) 01:19, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

All but one warning on their talk page came after their latest edit. They have had a final warning now, so I would suggest wait and see. If they continue then a block will occur. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:24, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Martin, appreciate you taking a look, but did you notice that there is a second IP listed above? The anonymous IP may have changed, but it's the same user based on the same edits. The previous user has additional warnings that occurred earlier. I do agree that the edits appear to have subsided for now, but then again it has only been about 18 hours. Guess we can wait to see if that lasts. Thanks. --GoneIn60 (talk) 19:51, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

I've also got suspicions this may be a long-term socker we've been dealing with since October of last year, at least when I got involved as I know it was going on long before then. Their IPs usually geolocate to the UAE, but it wouldn't surprise me if this is them using a web-host as Rob (BU Rob13) not too long ago blocked a number of ranges coming from the UAE when socking flared up again.

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

PBS recently made an edit to the talk page seemingly with the intent of initiating discussion. I have linked it above. I contemplated replying there, but have decided to file this report instead in the hope of ensuring that the behavior such as that which he exhibited would not be tolerated again. Replying on the talk page would likely have led to a lengthy one-on-one dispute with no outside intervention.

In my first edit, I removed portraits of the overall commanders from the infobox. I have read and edited many articles about battles, and have never once seen portraits of commanders arrayed like this. There's a good reason for it. It doesn't look good, and would look even worse in cases in which there were more than two overall commanders. In my edit summary, I noted that this sort of thing was "not common practice," but neglected to mention appearance. In my next edit, I changed [[Napoleon I]] to [[Napoleon|Napoleon I]] on two occasions to avoid redirects, for "Napoleon" is the actual name of his biography. I didn't provide an edit summary because I didn't think I needed one. I made 3 more edits in which I removed periods from captions. Generally they aren't included unless they follow complete sentences. I noted this in the first of the three edits that I made. I also removed an image of the Battle of Waterloo from the "Aftermath" section. It's normal to include some information about what happened after a battle, but a picture of a battle that isn't the same as the one covered in the article is overdoing it, in my opinion. In my edit summary, I noted that the picture was not "directly relevant" to the article. I made a couple more edits which, regrettably, did not have edit summaries. Usually notes in the article which are meant to expand upon something are separated from footnotes. In this case they weren't, so I split them myself into separate sections. I also made an edit to the lead in which I attempted to explain how the battle constituted a tactical French victory. All that was explained is how it was a strategic defeat. There was also a "However" thrown into the lead which should not have been there because both points that were made were in support of it being a strategic defeat for the French. There was no contradiction, and the presence of the word was quite confusing for me at first. In my edit summary, I said: "Previously the lead did not explain how the battle consistuted [sic] a tactical French victory."

None of these edits were vandalism. Yet, PBS undid them all in a single edit using rollback. Reverting good faith edits that are not obvious vandalism is something that the tool is not intended for, per WP:Rollback. Also, due to the number of edits involved, it seems to me like a violation of WP:3rr.

In his edit summary, all PBS said was: "Rv to last version by PBS. Discuss your bold edits on the talk page." First of all, I'm not sure that these edits were really all too "bold." That looks sort of like a convenient excuse to revert. I am bothered their being no explanation, either in the edit summary or on the talk page, of why the edits should have been undone. An editor reverting something that is not obvious vandalism should explain, as clearly as the edit summary bar will allow, or on the talk page if necessary, his motive. This was not done. Even after I reverted his edit, with the summary "You can't revert whatever you feel like without providing an explanation. You also can't revert edits just because they're "bold." How does that fit with WP policy?," he still did not change his attitude. He undid that edit, and used the summary: "See talk page. I think you have made many changes some of which I strongly oppose others less so. So please discuss each individual change before it is implemented."

From my understanding the burden is on the person making the reverts to justify his actions first, not the other way around. Simply saying that one "strongly oppose[s]" an edit is not good enough. When I saw that PBS had pinged me on the talk page, I was thinking that he might have done explained himself. But he didn't. He simply reiterated the same point and warned me about starting an edit war.

I did not start an edit war. Edit wars can start when people revert good faith edits without even showing consideration or care enough to explain why. This is completely unfair to the editor being reverted and creates a hostile editing environment, causing distrust and resentment. As I said, I'm not certain that the edits as a whole should be considered "bold." But let us, for now, say that they should be. I know that WP:Bold edits sometimes get reverted. But I at least expect some sort of explanation or reason for why it happened. The way that my edits were undone was dismissive and condescending. What incentive is there for editors to be bold if a single person may undo all of their work in one stroke without even providing so much as a reason? Display name 99 (talk) 01:20, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

No violation – It takes four reverts in 24 hours to violate WP:3RR. User:Display name 99, it is premature to come to AN3 for this kind of dispute when you have not even tried the article talk page. EdJohnston (talk) 02:23, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

EdJohnston, what about the use of rollback for something that was not vandalism? Display name 99 (talk) 02:28, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

How can this edit be a rollback when it includes an edit summary? EdJohnston (talk) 02:33, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

I must not know how these things work. What did he use then? Display name 99 (talk) 02:35, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

These were regular edits. A rollback would be like: m Reverted edits by User A (talk) to last version by User B. EdJohnston (talk) 02:43, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

OK EdJohnston. He still reverted more than 3 edits of mine, just all at once. I also still feel like the situation was handled poorly by him and that some sort of warning should be given. But I have posted a comment on the talk page and intend to do my best to resolve the situation there. Display name 99 (talk) 02:52, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

@Display name 99 you made three mistakes with your listing:

1. two reverts is not edit warring (you should consider boomerang)
2. I did not use rollback. I simply chose to open the edit before yours and saved it with a comment.
3. The ordering of your list is incorrect 4 and 5 are the other way round see the time stamps on the edits:

1. (4) Revision as of 22:09, 19 June 2017
2. (5) Revision as of 22:05, 19 June 2017

So I placed the comment on the talk page before I reverted your revert.

A series of consecutive edits counts as one edit. Besides a revert is a single action. The issue here is not my reverting, but you not following the Bold Revert Discuss [on the article talk page] (gain consensus for your edit) cycle, as laid out in CONSENSUS (see the flow chart) and often referred to as BRD. Wikipedia works on consensus, and you should not make changes and then try to force them through by reverting them back into an article once they have been reverted. Last time you did this on an article on my watch list, I was more tolerant, but this time I think you should follow policy and guidance. -- PBS (talk) 06:54, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

@Display name 99 looking through your edit history I can see that you are of the opinion that if you revert an edit you expect the person to explain their edits:

• diff: 02:14, 6 June 2017‎ Display name 99 (Undid revision 783817305 by Snooganssnoogans (talk) Per talk. Do not revert this edit. I went to the talk page and you had your chance to respond.)
• diff: 18:28, 8 June 2017 ‎ (Undid revision 784496401 by Hohum (talk) Reverting unexplained image change. You don't get to just randomly switch pictures without explaining why.)

So perhapse you should start practising what you preach. -- PBS (talk) 07:10, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

After explanation of policies and warnings from other editors, user has continued to restore contested content. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 18:57, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

• Comment When it comes to edit warring, this is how I typically handle the situation: if the user violates 3RR but doesn't do so in a blatant and openly defiant manner (where the page history is littered with 20+ reverts and that's all you see on it), I will warn the user if they have not received a warning about it; I always try to give the benefit of the doubt and give the user an opportunity to stop. However, if the edit warring continues and despite being warned for this behavior, a block then becomes appropriate. In this situation, Sallgeud was warned by Waggie on 18:54; Sallgeud makes his last known edit to the article at 18:55. The time-span between these events are close enough to where I will give good assumption that Sallgeud probably hadn't realized he had a new talk page notification, and hence hadn't seen the warning that was left for him yet. After this, Sallgeud then removes the warning left by Waggie at 19:03. It's been six hours since these events, and no further edits have been made and the edit warring has not continued. Therefore, I am going to leave a 3RR warning on his talk page myself and consider this case closed. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 00:35, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

The edit war between these two began on June 13. One result of the war was a one-week block of Joefromrandb, his second block of the month. When the block ended, Joe returned to edit-warring. pbp 01:53, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

I request that the reviewing admin ask User:Floquenbeam about this. I will have no further comments, pending clarification from Floq, as far as restrictions he previously imposed. Joefromrandb (talk) 02:02, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

• I do not see how those particular edits resulted in the block--I think there was more to it. I do think that Joefromrandb is treading on thin ice, but I am hesitant to block based just on this one edit, though it certainly indicates a combative attitude. Drmies (talk) 02:04, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Declined Neither user has breached 3RR particularly since one of those reverts was immediately self-reverted. However I agree with Drmies that Joefromrandb is on extremely thin ice, and it was spectacularly bad judgement to return to edit warring on that article straight after the previous block expired. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:32, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
    • I have come across Joefromrandb on another page and found him to be belligerent and unacceptably rude but out of curiosity (call me a troll if you will) I had a look at this particular page and I have to agree with his point of view and I feel that to say "false allegations" is semantically incorrect because it would have to be proven that all the people making that accusation knew that they were false and had not just been told they were false and just refused to believe it. I have made a suggestion on the talk page that may be acceptable to all by replacing "false allegations" by "unsubstantiated allegations". I don't know if this helps or not.

This page is related to SCW/ISIL and is subject to discretionary community sanctions and 1RR. The editor in question is evidently from the region (see his userpage and contributions) and is editing with a pro Kurdish (I believe) POV. He has been inserting the same POV material that essentially flips the status of the best source of info on ISIL atrocities in Raqqa from being one of ISIL's biggest annoyances into an ISIL supporter. I have removed this POV posting inserted by this user and an IP, never breaching 1RR (reverting an IP is exempt under SCW/ISIL). He insisted in a noted edit summary I should go to talk, but I had already posted on talk before he again inserted his POV.

This report is for long-term edit-warring by GOOD morning. See posts here on my talk page, the history of the article and list of warnings on their talk page. Multiple people have tried to help them understand the editing process on Wikipedia, but they don't get it. Basically no effort to discuss, just level personal attacks towards other editors and push their version over and over. Ravensfire (talk) 15:25, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Also note that during their last block, GOOD morning used 117.219.216.182 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) and 117.209.223.109 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) to continue editing on articles. Edits were simply reverted, but it shows this editors attitude towards a collaborative environment - they're happy if they get their way and nothing else matters. Ravensfire (talk) 15:30, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

•  Administrator note - I'm somewhat aware of GOOD morning's editing problems, but I haven't devoted much time to looking into recent issues. He absolutely has edited a great deal while logged out, and I blocked him for that. At Kushi (2000 film), there was an ongoing issue with an IP editor (ex: this one) adding ridiculous POV content about actress Jyothika's performance being "the best among Remakes of the movie". This was added numerous times and reverted by various editors a number of times. Suddenly, GOOD morning appears and silently restores the content, despite having never edited that article before. The point being, he's been engaged in edit-warring for quite some time and uses squirrely methods to do it. The user is clearly pushing a pro-Jyothika agenda, and they have repeatedly added great amounts of unsourced content despite numerous warnings not to do so. User has been told numerous times to participate in discussion, but those discussions usually devolve into unconstructive, hard-to-understand comments about conspiracy (he erroneously thinks Ravensfire and Ason27 are the same person) and accusations that Ason is a fan of some rival actor or something. I don't quite understand. I am also worried about the user's ability to communicate, but perhaps that's an issue for another time. Bottom line, another admin should look at the user's edit history and make a determination about edit-warring. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:25, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Comments:

Subject is the leader of ISIL and therefore is a 1RR page under the SCW/ISIL Community Sanctions. There is a notice of 1RR on talk page and a huge notice pops up when you edit. This editor inserted and reinserted terrorist propaganda (that Kayla Mueller was killed in a Jordanian airstrike) without sources, as more fully explained at Kayla Mueller. They promptly reverted my warning and request to revert on their talk page and failed to engage on the article talk. Therefore I have little good faith left in someone willing to propagate terrorist propaganda as fact ob Wikipedia. Legacypac (talk) 08:01, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

You seem very angry. Are you a relative of Mueller's? The original article stated that Meuller was "killed" without stating who killed her. I merely added information I had read in news stories stating that she was killed by an airstrike. You deleted this on the unfounded basis that it was "terrorist propaganda", even though it was reported in the Western press. I reverted for the reason stated above. Not sure where this "terrorist propaganda" bugbear is coming from.Newzild (talk) 08:07, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

I am the creator of the Kayla Mueller article where you can clearly see that the info you inserted is ISIL propaganda. ISIL put out the lie that the Jordanians killed her. I don't spend time inserting terrorist POV into Wikipedia and have little appreciation for people who do. Legacypac (talk) 08:17, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Comments:

• Jaydn Gregory obviously feels strongly about these two articles containing lists of programming. In violation of the WP:NOTDIRECTORY policy, he has written hidden notes saying "PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THIS SECTION FROM THE PAGE. THE SECTION WILL REMAIN UNCHANGED."[227][228][229] He has stated "List of programs is part of the page"[230] and "Programming is part of the page."[231]
• Jaydn Gregory has not used any talk pages to discuss this issue. His one interaction on a talk page was to post an empty edit request during a period of article protection.[232] His communications are limited to edit summaries, which are similar to ones from Special:Contributions/220.253.4.42 ("List of programs is part of the page."[233]) As well, IP 220.253.4.42 has performed the same restoration edit, returning the list of programs, after it was removed per WP:NOTDIRECTORY by AllyJay50 a month ago.[234] So it looks like Jaydn Gregory is also violating WP:MULTIPLE by using an IP and a registered account to make the same reversions.
• The main problem here is that Jaydn Gregory and IP 220.253.4.42 are not using any talk pages to discuss the contradiction between policy and their actions, and instead are insisting on their preferred version by way of hidden notes, edit summaries and the action of edit warring. The problem is long-term edit warring with every indication that it will continue. Binksternet (talk) 16:36, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

• Comment These are clueless, retaliatory reports. Please see original report after which, the OP of this report got a 72-hour block. Today, the OP, fresh from a 72-hour block, goes to the talkpage of the blocking admin, telling him to restore the BLP-violating edit that the OP got blocked for: This is injustifiable. It is your duty to restore it. I've made multiple attempts, as you must already be aware of. There is no argument against it. The OP did the same to my talkpage and that of FlightTime. These actions and the personal attacks are bad enough, but check his/her reply when the blocking admin suggests dispute resolution. Also check this reply calling other editors "incompetent" and "ignorant". Dr. K. 04:32, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

What about the six times you've reverted on this article within the last 24 hours? here, here, here, here, here, and here. Cassianto^Talk 15:45, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

I was simply reinstating removed information that was given no reason at the time. I did not use the "revert" feature but once. Icarus of old (talk) 15:50, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

Reinstating information and reverting information is the same thing. Surely you knew that? Cassianto^Talk 17:30, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

Also, no offense, but I'm looking for admin input, which is why I'm here. Icarus of old (talk) 15:53, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

The very fact that you would bring up the word offence, and bold "admin", reveals that offence was very much intended. You are operating under fundamental misunderstandings of wiki policy and practice, specifically wrt inclusion and internal hierarchical structures, ie you assume we are all minions and only admins can make arguments or pass editorial judgement. That and the fact that you escalate rather than discuss; this seems likely to boomerang. Ceoil (talk) 17:08, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, I wasn't aware this is for only admins and no one else? Any administrator with half a brain cell will be able to tell that you're the problematic one here. Cassianto^Talk 17:28, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

• Icarus, the fact that you didn't press "revert" does not make you immune from edit-warring. The edits highlighted by Cassianto amount to the same thing. Kafka Liz (talk) 17:26, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
• Both editors have reverted four times, and I'm struggling to figure out why I shouldn't block both. (Cassianto, consecutive edits count as one revert.)--Bbb23 (talk) 17:45, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

You have a point, but I would advocate giving some leeway to both parties and allow some time for discussion on the talkpage. I think blocking at this stage would only lead to bad blood, and the wiki needs less of that, not more. Kafka Liz (talk) 17:50, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

Bbb23, the video violates Copyright law as the "source" takes us to a defunct website. When you check the "disclaimer" they admit that they cannot be held accountable for infringements. It even says there: "Nothing on this site may be copied or used without the express permission of ARTtube, the ARTtube partners and, if necessary, of any third parties involved.". Where is that permission? Because it's certainly not in the information. It is therefore conceivable that the Free Use licence is incorrect and thus, illegal. Ceoil is doing the right thing by reverting more than 3rr, as per the allowances. Cassianto^Talk 17:53, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

Bbb23, follow your judgement, as limited as it seems. Some of my edits were maintenance and normal editing, not strictly reverts. I will say this; does Icarus seem like a collaborative productive editor that we want to nourish, or are you making a blanket, reactionary judgement, effictively kicking it down the line for the incumbents at the next article to deal with. Either way, not impressed; no guidance, no though, no solutions, you seem to care nothing about context, just rules. "Block them all". Ceoil (talk) 17:57, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

...and let God sort 'em out. Ceoil, I don't think that will happen here, at least I hope not. Valid concerns have been raised about the video, and it is no longer in the article. Kafka Liz (talk) 18:05, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

Ok yeah, that makes sense; I misunderstood Liz. Have struck. Ceoil (talk) 18:52, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

Since there appears to be a copyright violation here, I don't think that's necessary. The case seems fairly clear-cut at this point. And ordinarily I'd encourage all editors to talk first before escalating things either to DRN or here. Kafka Liz (talk) 18:21, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

Ummm..bloody boards. You know, I think there are a/ too many of them, and b/ that there should be a monthly user quota on resorting to them. Just a general observation on board usage in the round. Irondome (talk) 18:30, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

I would add that I only became involved in the article because I observed the edit warring; the user's claim seems to be correct based on the searches I have done. 331dot (talk) 22:19, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

So you got involved in one side of an edit war without understanding what was going on. Instead of going to the talk page and discussing it you continued to push the edit war and reinsert unsourced information into the article. Fragglerock1001 should have stopped and discussed also. There wasn't any good side in this. ~ GB fan 00:50, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

@GB fan: I didn't see another editor breach 3RR. At least two other editors had reversed Fragglerock (claiming that it was sourced) and Fragglerock had very combative language. I only wanted to stop the reversions. 331dot (talk) 03:28, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

331dot, there wasn't anyone else over 3RR but there were others edit warring and you got involved in that edit war without figuring out what was going on. Even the other people involved didn't know what was going on, one editor was both removing CBE information and restoring it. This all started when an IP added the CBE and accepted by L3X1. The same IP added the category which was accepted by El cid, el campeador. The IP then added a sentence about the CBE and this is where the reverts started. FlightTime reverted this one edit. The IP added it again and FlightTime reverted it again. Petrichorpnw removed the CBEs and now FlightTime, who earlier removed the sentence about CBE restored this. Fragglerock1001 removed it with {{Garagepunk66 restoring it. Fragglerock1001 removed it with Bojo1498 restored it. This is the point you got involved, Fragglerock1001 removed twice and you restored it twice. Fragglerock1001 then removed it again and FlightTime restored it yet again. I then added a cn tag and then an hour later removed it completely as I could not find any sources. Garagepunk66 claimed in their edit summary that it was established in the article that CBE was valid. Even though there were no sources and the only way it was established was through the CBE after his name and the category. No sources. The only person who talked about sources in edit summaries was Fragglerock1001 saying there weren't any and the only person who commented on the talk page said there were no sources. No one involved in this did the right thing, everyone was at fault. ~ GB fan 11:35, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

I respect and appreciate your views on this matter. I felt it was more important to stop the edit warring/disruption than conduct a full investigation as to what was going on, since edit warring is not allowed even if the person doing it is correct; I wasn't taking a side although I can see how it could be seen that way. I will try to keep this in mind for the future and appreciate the constructive comments. 331dot (talk) 11:42, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

You did take a side, you reverted twice on one side and then reported the editor you were reverting. I don't understand how jumping into an edit war and reverting will ever stop the disruptive aspects of the edit war. Before you reverted, Fragglerock1001 had not exceeded 3RR, by reverting them you enabled them to go over 3RR. Fragglerock1001 should have stopped and it is on them that they didn't The way to stop an edit war is to try to solve the disagreement. Without doing the full investigation to really understand the problem it is hard to try to solve the disagreement. ~ GB fan 12:05, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

As I indicated, I can see how others might think I was taking a side, but that wasn't my intention at all. I made no comments about the issue in my reversions as I hadn't yet formed an opinion. If it's necessary to have an opinion before doing such an edit, fair enough(though I felt as I hadn't edited the page before I would be considered uninvolved), but as I said I felt stopping the edit war was more important and I hoped my message would motivate Fragglerock(who was reverting edits made by more than one editor) to discuss the matter. I can't change what happened but I will try to improve in the future. I take the part of 3RR which states "An editor who repeatedly restores his or her preferred version is edit warring, regardless of whether their edits were justifiable" seriously but I seem to have done so too much here. I will try to improve. 331dot (talk) 12:19, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

This should be closed as no action taken. There is no reason for the disruptive edit war to continue. The unsourced information that Fragglerock was edit warring to remove has been removed and it is now on anyone who wants to restore it to provide reliable sources. ~ GB fan 13:06, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

GB fan is correct--Michael was not CBE. When I reverted the edit two days ago, it appeared to be previously established in the article, but I just checked outside sources and it appears that he was not. I should have done that then. Sorry for the mistake. Luckily, I did not report it as vandalism--I merely reverted the edit. Garagepunk66 (talk) 03:39, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

From last edit made on June 25, 2047 [278] User Fskooter identified himself as Floyd Skloot, the person who is the subject of the article. I have yet to succeed with getting his attention to the talk page or to the notion of notability. The text he removes repeatedly includes published reviews of his most notable books. I have great respect for Mr. Skloot, and feel awkward knowing that is who is reverting the text with no explanations until today. My own edits began by seeing the need for an infobox, which was requested earlier on the Talk page. He appears sensitive to any mention that he had a first wife, who is the mother of the daughter he does mention; I have no idea what is proper for dealing with his sensitivity, though his divorce is written up in his memoir and is no secret. Any help in keeping the article as one edited by multiple people and not only by the subject of the article is appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prairieplant (talk • contribs)

Not only breaking the 3rr part of edit-warring, but vandalizing good-faith attempts to improve the article, which attempts are to remove redundancy by removing the words "first" and "original" from the statements about invention, since It doesn't make sense to say "inventing the first..." because inventing something already implies "the first...."

From Huey Lewis:

"For people who are best known by a pseudonym, the legal name should usually appear first in the article, followed closely by the pseudonym. Follow this practice even if the article itself is titled with the pseudonym:"

For one thing, multiple users have concluded that you're evading a block, which if true, means that 3RR doesn't apply, and whether or not that claim is true, the fact that several other editors disagree with you means that there's consensus against your edits. For another thing, you're quite obviously going far, far past 3RR on several of these articles; it doesn't matter if you use one IP address or several, because 3RR applies to humans using accounts or IPs, not the accounts or addresses themselves. And finally, you don't appear to have attempted to resolve this dispute on any of the article talk pages (aside from these edits, none of the talk pages have had any non-automated edits all year), and out of the last fifty edits to User talk:Ebyabe, none of the ones made by IPs said anything whatsoever about 3RR, whether consisting of a warning or otherwise. Some of the pages have been semiprotected already, and I've semiprotected the rest of them. Nyttend (talk) 00:16, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
