Reply to Benimerin's statement
[edit]This user avoided on purpose to sign to identify himself as Joanot. He decided to register just because the article was to be semi-protected. He didn't register by his free will untill last time. (see Talk page section on semi-protection of the article). If it was not able to use his account because of e-mail problems, he could have very well signed without wikilink (i.e. --"Maurice27") --Maurice27 09:53, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
Message to admins
[edit]May I indicate to admins that User:Benimerin has erased the reverts described as 5th and 6th, and changed dates & hours reported by me as seen here, completely changing my report and that he is using the room of the report to answer, making it much less clear to understand.
The revision made by me (before Benimerin changing it), is this one.
In addition to the 3 (with a 4th in another article) 3RR rule breakings made by this user in less than and week, I want to report his, proved here above, modification of my statement and explanations in order to mislead the admins --Maurice27 12:02, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Links aren't changed nor erased, I think it clarifies that it's not about the same version, but several versions made by different users. Are you bored?. May I remember your own suggestion that there are no 3RR breaking as there aren't more than trhee reversions in 24h and, adding more, there are reversions with a lot of explanations and detailed reasons that you are simply ignoring these?.
- I also would like to suggest admins to remove this request as a arbitration request is ongoing, and where he's also implied. There are also a user trying a dispute resolution in Talk:Flag of Valencia. I think it is not a problem of 3RR, because there are no reasons technically, and because the problem aren't the reversions but an edit-warring of Maurice27 against every Catalonian or Valencian users as me. Cheers. --Benimerin - كُنْ ذكورا إذا كُنْت كذوب - 12:07, 17 July 2007 (UTC) PD: Please, can you show us where I've deleted anything?. Are you here to make me personal war or what?.

[edit]- Three-revert rule violation on
Tom Williams (Irish Republican) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views).
User:Domer48 and User:Brixton Busters have been changing Category:Northern Irish Roman Catholics to Category:Irish Roman Catholics. Their contention is that Northern Ireland is not a state, country or nationality. See Talk:Tom Williams (Irish Republican) for the reason why they are incorrect in doing this. All UK biography articles follow a style for categorisation. I have told them that if they disagree with this then they should go to WP:CFD, which is the correct procedure. However they are ignoring this. Stu ’Bout ye! 10:53, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

- SV, the document that is being introduced was originally on the justicefornickbaker site (and was linked to that site from the WP article since January). When justicefornickbaker's contents were removed a month or so ago, I copied the court documents to my own homepage. I have opened an RFC for the inclusion of these court documents on the article talk page. If it helps, I will shortly ask the editor of my magazine to add it to the sources for this article, which will give it independent provenance.

Also please note that the information User:Bennie Noakes is trying to keep in the article by edit-warring is OR/Synthesis and unsourced information.

It is a bit concerning that Bennie Noakes seemed to indicate that he may continue to edit war to keep his OR in the article, although he would "rather not have to". [8] Dreadstar † 04:36, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
As user indicated, he continues to revert war to keep his OR/Synthesis in the article, as well as removing fact/citation request tags:
The article has been protected due to the edit-warring, so the warring has stopped for now. I am concerned that it may start again once the article is unprotected. If not a block for this, then at least a strong warning from someone besides myself would be appropriate. Dreadstar † 09:54, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Technically you can avoid 3RR violation, but your objetive here is the same of those persons who violates this rule: to disrupt wikipedia, in this case, because of your very personal and ideological feelings. --Benimerin - كُنْ ذكورا إذا كُنْت كذوب - 09:37, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- Please, recheck this possible violation. There are three reversions within 24 hrs., since 14:16 of 15 July to 12:37 of 16 July made by Maurice27. Thanks. --Benimerin - كُنْ ذكورا إذا كُنْت كذوب - 17:29, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- I don't understand. If you're saying that there are "three reversions within 24 hrs", then you're saying there is no violation.
- Though, of course, editors are discouraged from "gaming the system" and constantly racking up precisely 3 reverts in an attempt to avoid being blocked, 3 reverts is still, technically, not a violation. If you think a person is persistently edit-warring, outside of 3RR, then you may wish to consider the administrator's noticeboard (WP:AN), or specifically their incidents subpage (WP:AN/I). Of course, I'm sure people here will still be willing to look at cases of precisely 3 reverts, but appealing to them to reconsider in cases where there wasn't a technical violation isn't likely to succeed. (As that would require one admin overriding the decision of another) Bladestorm 17:36, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Comment: This appears to have all started when User:Funkynusayri made a deletion on the article Middle East, which was reverted [11]. User then went on to make similar edits on other articles, including Egyptians, which s/he contends "shouldn't exist" [12]. It was this comment that made me suspicious due to recent activity on articles of a similar topic by users like this and this. S/he then suggested that two articles, which are traditionally kept separate for every country, be merged. S/he also accuses me of having a "mute sock puppet" [13]. My comments to User:Funkynusayri can be found here and a content comment is here. I'd like him/her to cool off, refrain from making changes to articles when her/his edits are challenged by multiple users, and be a little more civil. — Zerida 19:29, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

The other party to the edit-war, TharkunColl, is likewise in breach of 3rr. See the page history. This is part of a long-raging edit war (or wars) on this article, lately the cause of An/I reports (see "British monarchy edit war", "British monarchy edit war, part II" and "G2bambino" in Archive 270), and with several recent past violations of 3rr and many warnings on both sides, and a block to G2bambino, though for "Edit warring", not for an actual 3rr violation. (I was myself blocked at the same time, for the same span, and for the same given reason as Gbambino. I mention this so that none can say I've been uncandid, here, but it is really beside the point, I think.) -- Lonewolf BC 20:38, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit]Please note that I believe it is a WP:BLP violation, and it is using WP:OR and a blog post meant to show the article subject in a negative light, as I have discussed on the talk page with anyone who will bother to respond. No whitewashing is taking place. --Theblog 01:20, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- I've looked and I do not see this as a BLP situation. Are there NPOV concerns? Quite possibly. But this cannot justify a 3RR vio. Therefore, blocked for 12 hours. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 09:02, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

- User's reply to warning trying to argue that, because the reverts were not exactly the same, he did not revert more than three times: [55]
After the third revert, I tried to rewrite the sentence so that would be acceptable for the other users. I insisted on that because they refused to discuss the subject on the talk page. The 4th and 5th edits were not reverts. Best regards, --Eurocopter tigre 20:43, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- I suggest you all to continue discussing this for 1 hour at the talk page. Eurocopter tiger, I don't mean to take sides, but I think they have a point there with "controlling territory" and "having soveregnty". Maybe an additional remark after the list, or something like that can be made about EU.
- Polaron, again, I don't mean to take sides, but I think you have a prity strong case in the talk page. You can do better than blocking Eurocopter tiger, you can convince him. Strictly speaking, Eurocopter, did not do always the same edit. But that's detail, b/c again, I think you can convice him, you have a stong case. Leave me a message if you need help convincing.
- (obviously this is just my personal impression, feel free to just quarel if you like that more :P ):Dc76 21:26, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- However, they are still reverts, according to WP:3RR#What_is_a_revert.3F, whether they be exactly the same or with minor differences, they are still reverts made in an edit conflict. My goal is not to get Eurocopter blocked, but rules are rules, and if we don't enforce them, what good are they? Parsecboy 01:29, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Again Parsecboy, rewritting a sentence is not a revert. Dc76 also confirmed that. --Eurocopter tigre 05:20, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

- You're missing the point. A revert in partial or in whole is still counted as a revert. You may have included more text with what was the point of contention (the inclusion of the EU in the table), but it's still a revert. On a related note, I ask that you look at the proposal put forward by Polaron (an edit on the article itself, not on the talk) and see if you'll agree to that. That is, of course, if you're around. I think you said something about a short vacation. Parsecboy 20:40, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

- User:DreamGuy has reverted User:Anubis3's edits at least 3 or 4 times each in two separate article as cited above within a few hours. User:DreamGuy is well aware of the 3RR and has been blocked several times in the past for violating the rule including a block this month. I avoided reverting back my edits more than twice even though the user deleted the content of an entire article on their own (ignoring the WP:Deletion process). Articles remain reverted by User:DreamGuy to avoid edit war. - Anubis3 01:47, 17 July 2007 (UTC) 12:00, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- This is a completely false report filed by someone acting in bad faith. The person combined preliminary edits (not reverts) as well as reverts from more than one article to try to come up with as many "reverts" as possible, and he left a false warning on my talk page that I had already violated 3RR after only one revert. The guy is extremely aggressive editor using bullying tactics and multiple false warnings to try to scare me off from edits he doesn't like. He created a fork file that pushes a POV on a topic of which we already have another, better article and refuses to accept that the article he created cannot stay. Furthermore, he tries to claim that his content cannot be removed and that it MUST be merged but that he wasn't going to do it so the fork article has to say. And the "remain reverted ... to avoid edit war" is just false, because he had gone in and reverted to his version yet again, and he IS the guy who made the edit war. The way things are going he'll violate 3RR before I would, not that I will. DreamGuy 12:32, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Furthermore the "including a block this month" is also false, as the block this month had nothing to do with 3RR and was not even a proper block, as other admins came in and undid it and gave the admin in question warnings not to make such bad decisions in the future. This Anubis3 who filed this report is either incredibly ignorant about 3RR and other policies here while aggressively claiming people violated them while they didn't or else he is knowingly lying in the hopes that he can trick people into blocking me for things I never did. DreamGuy 12:44, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, the "history" of these edits will prove otherwise. I have been nothing but NPOV and kind when it has comes to our discussions (here), even though you insist of blanking your talk page. Please do not try to compromise the entry of this noticeboard. This above information is for administrators to consider. Anubis3 12:55, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Funny, you made that claim while at the same time removing my labels on the report above proving that you were lying about the edits and portraying them as reverts when they weren't. I put the information back. Assuming good faith might mean that you were just clueless about what reverts mean when you filed the report (as I see you filed it after revert number 1), but removing the information showing that you are wrong is clear bad faith attempt to mislead admins. DreamGuy 13:06, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
I have protected the page. If there is no further disruption elsewhere that should be all that is needed. Tom Harrison Talk 13:03, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. It would help also if you explained to Anubis3 that either (if you still think there's room for good faith) he needs to actually read the 3RR policy before filing reports or (if the evidence is enough to show his bad faith) give him a block to not pull this kind of false report in the future. DreamGuy 13:11, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Please note: this was a legitimate entry and violation of the 3RR. I really don't know where the bad faith came from. Are you saying that every entry in AN3RR made in bad faith??? Furthermore, your history also suggests that this is not your first time violating this rule. Please be open to constructive criticism and do not try to compromise the integrity of other people's entries. I hope the situation will be resolved peacefully. Anubis3 13:42, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Giovanni33 knows that 3RR isn't an entitlement so I didn't bother to warn him. I asked him four times (here, here, here and here) to not put my name in the talkpage discussion heading and he repeatedly put it back and then added the silly "with one editor who insists on being unamed here" just to be childish. This guy edit wars constantly all the way up to 3RR and has been blocked by more than a dozen administrators including one as recently as June 29th, albeit he was soon unblocked since the page was protected. He was almost blocked again on July 12th and was given a reprieve since he self reverted.[66]. I feel that I had a right to not have him post my name repeatedly in the heading, especially after I had asked him numerous times (ie...argue about the message, not the messenger) to not put my name there. He is also currently sitting on the line on the Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki article with an initial installment and three reverts again.[67], [68], [69], [70]. This is par for the course. Giovanni33 sees the 3RR rule as an entitlement, he has been blocked and counseled repeatedly yet he doesn't seem to get it.--MONGO 14:13, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Perhaps a 24 hour block for both of them would do, MONGO seems to be doing his fair share of reverting as well, which I wouldn't be surprised is disrupting the talk page there. [71][72][73][74]--SevenOfDiamonds 18:28, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

First, he reverted 7 times as 190.16.20.42 until the article was semi-protected. Then he logged in as User:Snowhite1985 and reverted 4 additional times. The identity of 190.16.20.42 as Snowhite1985 was suspected by administrator User:Pablo-flores and confirmed by User:Tangerines after Snowhite1985, not logged in, [inadvertently] signed as himself at User_talk:190.16.20.42. While he might be violating WP:SOCK, and his 11 reverts (all summed together) are a clear violation of WP:3RR (and were classified as WP:Vandalism by Tangerines), I will only present the 4 edits of Snowhite1985. It is up to the administrators to decide whether to take a more drastic measure given the clear evidence above, or to simply deal with this 3RR violations for the time being.

- Comment: Those diffs are not 3RR warnings. They are requests for the user to sign his posts. Kafziel Talk 12:11, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
- First, Snowhite is not a new user. Secondly, the warnings advised him to stop his reiterated reversions (as well as asking him to sign). Please review the warnings thoroughly. I will quote what Tangerines wrote on the second warning:
- "If you wish to mame [sic] major changes to the article, please provide and edit summary as any edits made without an edit summary are likely to be reverted as they appear to be vandalism. In this instance it is quite clear that this needs to be discussed on the talk page. Will you please therefore discuss this rather than keep adding the same edit as it will only be reverted again until this has been discussed on the articles talk page."
- --the Dúnadan 01:26, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
- And after Tangerines said that, SnowWhite stopped reverting. He is a new user (certainly new enough to still need a proper 3RR warning), and he hasn't touched the article since the first warning came in. I'm not saying he definitely shouldn't be blocked, but I do think he's new enough to need a warning and he didn't do anything wrong after he got one. I'll leave this report open and another admin can offer a second opinion. Kafziel Talk 01:34, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
- Please review the dates: he did revert after the first warning came in!
- The anon was warned at 00.13; Snowhite was warned at 00.36, The third and fourth reversions occurred at 00.46 and 03:03 respectively: both occurred after the second warning came in. More recently he reverted yet again at 06:49 ([80]), which would make the 5th revert in less than 24 hours, and the 3rd after being warned.
- Snowhite1985 registered on March 2007; he is been here almost 4 months; enough to know that he should not engage in WP:Vandalism, enough to stop editing after being warned not to do so, and enough to have discussed the issue civilly at the Talk Page.

- I'm going to have to agree with Kafziel. The user was not warned of the 3-revert rule, but given a general caution about reverting. We need to be specific; it's best to use the {{subst:3rr}} template, because otherwise 3 reverts seems kind of arbitrary. I've placed the warning on his page. He has not edited for a couple of days; if the message has not gotten through, let me know or come back here and he will be blocked, but I'm not going to do it now.

COMMENT - As you can see, User:70.189.74.49 has made 14 reverts to the same article in less than three days (at one point making 8 reverts in a single 24-hour period), delibertly disregarding the Three Revert Rule and ignoring the numerous WP:3RR warnings posted by various editors on User:70.189.74.49's Talk Page. However this is not the only problem I and other users have experienced with User:70.189.74.49. They have been quite obsessive over the past few days in their deletion of my and other user's entries despite the requests from numerous editors that they desist, and until a only few hours ago has refused to justify their position on either the Discussion Page or to me directly on My Talk Page, which has both initiated and inflamed an edit war over this article. Now that this user has finally entered the the discussion, they have been growing less Civil with every post (See Here as well as Here) and does not seem to be interested in reaching any consensus with other editors, nor will they engage in any discussion beyond the most basic assertions that they alone are 100% correct and I and other users are 100% wrong. I would also like to note that this user appears to be a Single Purpose Account and I suspect it to be a Sock Puppet.
I simply ask that the Administrators take these chronic violations of Wikipedia's rules and policies by User:70.189.74.49 into consideration when revewing this case.

XAndreWx was originally blocked for the 3RR rule by User:Irishguy for this article over here:
This block was overturned by User:Evilclown93, also known as User:Maxim, on the request of XAndreWx's adoptor User:Giggy, with the comment of "Giggy has asked me to remove it, and I trust you've cooled off by now." here:
Even though XAndreWx was unblocked he again repeatedly violated the 3RR rule - in fact violating it at least six times since he was unblocked just two days ago.
I also believe that he then resorted to sock puppeteering to continue the revisions (three more identical revisions were made) - I have also created a sock puppet complaint which documents the evidence I have gathered in this matter.
- Those diffs are not necessarily all reverts, but there are four clear reverts in a 24-hour span in there. To make matters worse, he was blocked recently for another 3RR-violation, and was released on a promise of good behavior. MastCell Talk 02:55, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

- 4th revert: 00:23, 20 July 2007 (tag-warring, reverts the immediately preceding edit)
- 5th revert: 04:04, 20 July 2007 (continued tag-warring, undoes the immediately prior edit).

- Diff of 3RR warning: User has previous 3RR block, also warned here (23:51, 19 July 2007).
This is aggravated by the fact that NCdave is well aware there is consensus against his proposed edits, as exemplified by reams of talk page discussion. He responded to the 3RR warning by describing everyone else as "revert-warriors" and voicing an intention to tag-bomb the article instead ([92]). MastCell Talk 02:24, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
- Also, note that NCDave has a history of this kind of thing at Terry Schiavo [[93]]. A lengthy ban is in order here. JQ 06:27, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
- The "lengthy history" of 3RR violations to which JQ refers actually consists of just one 3RR violation 2.5 years ago, when I had been contributing to Wikipedia just nine days, and was still learning the rules. On that occasion, my 1st and 4th revert were on successive days, more than 23 hours apart. I was blocked for one minute (literally) in punishment. (An admin blocked me for 24 hours, then realized that was uncalled for, and unblocked me one minute later before I even realized I'd been blocked.) It was a true violation, but made in ignorance. That was my only 3RR violation, ever, in more than 1200 contributions to about 50 different articles plus numerous Talk pages and meta-discussions. NCdave 11:31, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- 1 week. yandman 08:49, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
- MastCell & JQ are misrepresenting the facts. There was no consensus against my edits. Just the opposite, in fact! Most of what I tried to add to the article had been proposed and extensively discussed on the Talk page before I added it, and had achieved apparent consensus. Two weeks had elapsed since anyone had expressed a new concern, and the few concerns that had been raised were all addressed in my contribution.
- W/r/t the warning tags I tried to add, many other editors have also expressed concerns about the inaccuracies and/or POV bias in the article which I attempted to warn about (including Peroxisome, "Uncle Ed" Poor, Theblog, 66.75.3.244, 88.105.242.190, 202.61.229.85, 147.114.226.172).
- Nor did I describe "everyone else" as revert warriors, just MastCell, JQ and one other (Yilloslime), who habitually revert constructive edits by other editors without Talk page discussion or even naming any specific complaints, and who had just done so again.
- Nor did I "threaten to tag-bomb" the article; rather, I noted (in advance) on the Talk page my reason for adding a warning tag to the article. (My reason was that MastCell, JQ & Yilloslime would not permit corrections to be made to the article.)
- Note that MastCell and Yilloslime both recently violated 3RR on that same article: Yilloslime's 3RR violation, MastCell's 3RR violation. Neither was blocked or banned; MastCell didn't even get warned.
- Nor did I violate WP:3RR. Only two of those alleged reverts were reverts. (Since MastCell did not supply diffs showing what previous versions he claimed I reverted to, that's not obvious; simply showing an edit and claiming that it is a revert does not show that it actually reverted anything.)
- rv #1 WAS a revert, but justified. It partially un-reverted MastCell's total revert/delete of a lengthy contribution to the article, most of which had been extensively discussed on the Talk page before I made it, and had achieved apparent consensus. Before adding that contribution, I noted on the talk page that apparent consensus had been achieved, all concerns having been addressed, and two weeks having elapsed with no further concerns expressed. But MastCell nevertheless reverted it just 6 minutes after I had edited the article, indicating that he didn't even bother to carefully read it (which is typical for him). I tried again (that was rv #1, my partial un-revert) but omitted a small portion of material which had not previously been discussed on the Talk page. I accompanied my partial un-revert with a note that at least most of the material had already been extensively discussed on the Talk page, and had achieved apparent consensus, and a plea to please discuss it on the Talk page if anyone had issues with it. Two minutes later MastCell's buddy JQ did another total revert. I tried again, one last time. Rv #2 was my last attempt, accompanied by pleas for Talk page discussion, asking MastCell & JQ to cease their instant reverts and talk over whatever objections they had. But two minutes later Yilloslime did another total revert. (MastCell, JQ and Yilloslime frequently act in concert.) At that point I gave up. That was my last revert.
- rv #3 was NOT a revert. It did not undo the referenced edit, nor any other. I tagged the article with a new/different tag, to reflect the fact that the article had been made more inaccurate and POV-biased than when I had last seen it. (Tagging the article with a warning while leaving the disputed text in place also amounted to an attempt at compromise, since my attempt to correct the inaccuracies in the article had been reverted.) I have read the 3RR rule, and it does not support an interpretation that inserting one tag is equivalent to inserting another. I read it carefully, and strove to conform with this rule and every other that I am aware of. The fact is that the article needs tags warning that the accuracy is disputed. Even if someone thinks the article is not inaccurate, there really can be no honest argument about that fact that the accuracy is disputed by other editors. Really, according to WP:BLP, I should have just deleted the controversial sections, but I've been trying to edit conservatively and seek consensus.
- rv #4 was NOT a revert. It did not undo the referenced edit, nor any other. It was another attempt to tag the article, but with a different tag. (The article contains inaccurate and controversial material about a living person, material which is in some cases poorly sourced, and in others entirely unsourced. Wikipedia WP:BLP rules require that such material be corrected or removed immediately, but MastCell, JQ et al immediately revert all such corrections. Several editors have noted the extreme inaccuracy and bias of this article, so it clearly deserves at least a warning tag.)
- rv #5 was NOT a revert. It did not undo the referenced edit, nor any other. It was another attempt to tag a blatantly inaccurate section of the article, with a different warning tag, after very thorough discussion on the Talk page.
- I did not violate 3RR, and should not have been blocked. NCdave 11:31, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Comment re additional violations: WP:CIVIL, WP:AGF, WP:NPA, WP:POINT, WP:CONSENSUS. I realize this page is not for other violations - I supply this only for perspective, that the 3RR violations are not due to "good faith mistakes." I responded to a report at WP:WQA and had no pre-knowlege of the article or editors. I saw that in addition to the 3RR violation, Icebear1946 has been repeatedly uncivil in his talk page comments and refused to acknowledge core Wikipedia policies. Examples:
- Icebear1946 refers to the removal of his self-published un-referenced essay as "vandalism", even though multiple editors have explained why the source is not reliable, including quoting WP:V and WP:RS.
- I referred him to WP:CIVIL, WP:NPA, WP:AGF, and told him: "If you can show that the author of the essay is a reliable source, with consensus from the editors on this page, then the essay can be included." His response:
- Legalistic sophistry not withstanding, you are in fact engaging in vandalism.
- He engaged in WP:POINT by making a random edit to the article and then posted this uncivil comment:
- I removed the Ellenberger/MeWhinney articles as a one-time experiment to see if you and your cronies were capable of learning anything from the exercise; obviously you are not.
- When Duae_Quartunciae wrote: "we all assume we are trying to improve the article in good faith..." - Icebear1946 responded sarcastically:
- ...Are you a professional comedian?
Icebear1946 does not seem to be a simply an inexperienced user not aware of WP:3RR. (He's aware of it because he was warned more than once). He's had a chip on his shoulder from the start, ignoring Wikipedia policies, disrespecting fellow editors, showing no interest in collaborative editing. His incivility has not been extreme, but has been disruptive, along with exceeding 3RR. I offer this view as an editor not working on the article page involved, other than in responding the to Wikiquette alert. --Parzival418 Hello 20:54, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

- I believe that I didn't violate 3RR. --Tilman 18:07, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
- Per Jossi's comment, Su-Jada has been unblocked and the article protected instead. Both of you, please take this time to keep discussing the situation on the talk page and seek mediation if necessary. If the edit war continues after the protection is lifted, blocks will follow.

User:Liftarn reported by User:Zara1709 (Result:)
[edit]- I'd like to report Liftarn for persistent edit warring and edit warring concerning several articles. This has already previously reported at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Liftarn and the Persecution of Germanic Pagans issue. While Liftarn has not violated the letter of the Three-revert rule, he has clearly violated the spirit.
- Articles and other pages affected of this were: Persecution of Germanic Pagans, Historical Persecution by Christians, Discrimination against Asatruers in United States prisons, Religious discrimination against Asatruers, Template:Religious persecution, Religious discrimination against Neopagans, Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Dbachmann, User talk:Liftarn and House demolition in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and probably some more.
- Regarding Persecution of Germanic Pagans: On May 20 I turned the article Persecution of Germanic Pagans, that had originally been created by Liftarn, into a disambiguation page [109]; Liftarn was the only one who had objected to a disambiguation page in Talk:Persecution of Germanic Pagans. Still, without writing something on the discussion page, he revert my edits [110] (#1); the disambiguation page was subsequently restored by Dbachmann on May 23 [111], reverted again by Liftarn on may 24 [112] (#2), restored again on May 29 by Dbachmann [113], reverted by Liftarn again the same day [114] (#3); only then Liftarn did write something on the discussion page, one sentence. [115](You have to check the edit history of the discussion page, he does not sign his comments correctly), he actually used WP:IDON'TLIKEIT as reason; I replied, rather displeased, with a much longer statement [116] and restored the disambiguation page [117]; still, on July 8 this was reverted by Liftarn again [118] (#4); he did not answer me on the discussion page. The disambiguation page was restored by 68.110.8.21 on July 8 [119], reverted again by Liftarn on July 9 [120] (#5), restored again by me on July 12 [121], this time I though I had to say Liftarn what I think of his style of non-discussion. He took this to be a personal attack, but at least he wrote something on the discussion page again, only that it was not at all useful [122]. Anyway, he reverted again on July 13 [123] (#6). I then flagged the article totally disputed [124] and asked dbachmann for help. He restored the disambiguation page on July 15.[125] Liftarn reverted again on July 16.[126](#7). Previosly, Dbachmann had written 9 lines on the discussion page, Liftarn again responded with only one line [127], that failed to even perceive the argument of Dbachmann. Consequently, I restored the disambiguation page on July 16. [128]. I was reverted yet another time by Liftarn on July 17. [129] (#8) I restored the disambiguation page again the same day. [130] Meanwhile the controversy had spread to Historical Persecution by Christians. Without referring the whole story there, too, I only needs to be said that Liftarn copied material that was deleted on that page onto persecution of Germanic Pagans. [131] (#9) Still on July 17, I restored the disambiguation page. [132] Liftarn reverted again on July 19. [133] (#10) The disambiguation page was restored the same day by Jacob Haller [134], reverted again by Liftarn [135] (#11), restored again by me [136]. It was then reverted a further time by Liftarn on July 20 [137] (#12) and restored again by Jacob Haller [138]. Further edits were concerned with the name of the articles that debated Liftarn's alleged Persecution of Asatrues.
- Summaries for the other articles at request. I will not have this continued another day. -Zara1709 08:48, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
- Non admin comment: Could you please format this request in the correct way, long paragrahs are not likely to attract attention to admins so if formatted correctly (see bottom of page) this will be handled but otherwise it may not be, Rlest 09:37, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
- I have a hard time to request this in the correct way, since this is a complex case and I have become so angry about this that it takes me a lot of effort to write in a neutral tone.

user: Mr. Neutron has not only been reverting content on talk pages but while doing so was deleting the comments of other users on the Discussion Page. While the Discussion page is free to anyone on Wikipedia for posting opinions, information, or links on the subject of the article, this user has claimed it is not allowed, and instead of talking about the problem on the discussion page, he has deleted people's comments.

I use talk pages to discuss my opinion but when I provide credible evidence supporting my argument and which fulfills the guidelines for a neutral point of view he avoid the argument and violates the NPOV by adding personal perspective information without first having reached to an agreement for providing a valid argument or sources.

- Frignter, please acquaint yourself with the Three revert rule. There are three reverts committed, on the page, not five. Series of several consecutive edits (by one editor) count as one revert, not as many. As such I have not violated the rule, and I have discussed the situation on the talk page, presenting arguments, which as of now have not been refuted. See the discussion of the talk page.

- Admin response. There are four page moves[141], which by definition are three reverts. is a revert. This is another revert. The question is whether these last two reverts count separately, or, because they were performed immediately after the page move are to be considered part of it. The rule at WP:3RR reads "Note that consecutive reverts by one editor are often treated as one revert for the purposes of this rule". The phrase "often treated" implies administrator discretion. Given that WP:3RR is primarily about preventing disruption, that page moves are more disruptive than simple edits, that Mr. Neutron is reverting a lot elsewhere today, I judge the edits and moves to be separate actions, which means that there was a violation of 3RR. I am blocking him for 24 hours. Bucketsofg 20:51, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Extra but relevant info: This user was warned of their impending violation here. This stems from this discussion where this user has asserted WP:OWN over all templated articles. Additionally, he attacked people and failed to cite any relevant guidelines or policies. Jmfangio| ►Chat 17:17, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

- No I have not. First and foremost, you are considering a "format" fix an independent edit. That is a gross misrepresentation. This is not the place for further discussion. You were warned and have responded by warning me and reporting me. Let someone else decide. For your review however: here, where one character was moved. Jmfangio| ►Chat 17:37, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
- That's why I didn't include that one-character edit. That was your fifth edit, and the other four were reverting mine. I included this one, not the one where you moved the x. Count them. Five edits, including four reverts. Thus, violation of 3RR.►Chris Nelson 17:40, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
- You have a wonderful way of slanting the circumstances. First off all, i didn't touch the page until this edit. That was an edit; i was simply checking the whatlinks here for the template inquestion. You then reverted me and couple of times and then after i warned you on your talk page, you fired back at me on my talk page. My third revert was after you had already reported me here. You decided to report me before I had violated anything (which i still haven't done). Jmfangio| ►Chat 18:29, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
- Okay. Well I personally think you're deluding yourself on this, but I trust an admin that examines the situation will see the very obvious 3RR violation. It as clear as day. It's as obvious as gravity. But if you want to delude yourself into thinking you've done know wrong, then go ahead. I actually doubt an admin does anything because of this pissing match, so be glad.►Chris Nelson 18:33, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
- Warning to both sides. Jmfangio violated WP:3RR in both spirit and letter; Chrisjnelson kept the letter, but broke the spirit by engaging in a sterile reversion war. It seems to me that my choice is to block you both for 8 hours or warn you both. Go and sin no more; or, better, figure out a compromise.

SqueakBox is a person concerned with removing the category of rape victim. He is going around renaming articles so they bypass the category. He is using wikipedia to prove a point. Fighting for Justice 22:27, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
- Technically no violation, the four reverts were not within 24 hours. However, edit-warring back-and-forth over the inclusion or exclusion of the disputed category is not going to resolve this dispute. I am aware that this is part of a broader controversy. Please pursue appropriate dispute resolution such as an article request for comment to secure community consensus on this issue. Newyorkbrad 22:39, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
What was the first revert to? Actually the first revert wasnt a revert but a fresh edit, the second revert was because at that point the cat was deleted and anyway there is no source in the article that he was raped and policy makes it clear I am empowered to remove contentious unsourced material, so at best 2 reverts of unsourced material, SqueakBox 22:40, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
- As I said, no violation, maybe for more reasons than I found. But there is still a broader issue here besides this one article on which a consensus needs to be reached. Edit-warring on this on an article-by-article basis for every member or alleged member of the dispute category is going to use a lot of contributors' time and breed a lot of unhappiness. Better to have the discussion in one place and try to reach some form of broader consensus on whether the category should exist at all. That way, if the category is eliminated, then it won't be necessary to debate whether it should apply to specific articles, and if the category is kept, some guidelines may evolve as to when and how it should be used. Newyorkbrad 22:45, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
- I think that is happening, its up for deletion and a blp policy is being evelved. Putting fact tags on where no sources are is inappropriate but well sourced info on public figures or dead people is probably appropriate if the cat survives its afd while semi notable people and any unsourced claims myust be removed immediately. Only after making this report did FfJ finally give a reasonable source whereas he should have done so before reverting, SqueakBox 22:55, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

This is the second time this editor has gotten into the same edit war; he refuses to edit by concensus and ignores the other editors. He has been warned already and again today. --Storm Rider (talk) 23:55, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
- My violation of the rule was certainly unintentional. Storm Rider posted the following yesterday: "First Vision; 03:37 . . (+4,302) . . Storm Rider (Talk | contribs) (John, you are one more revert away from 4 reverts in a 24 hour period; please stop or you will be blocked)." I did stop. But apparently Storm Rider then went back to an earlier series of changes to find the 4 reverts (actually two reversions of two separate sections) in a 24 hour period. It's worthy of mention that I'm the only non-Mormon editing at an article of considerable interest to Mormons and the "consensus" is a consensus of Mormons.--John Foxe 10:22, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- I also had a look at this, and it appears that the warning given was after the 4th revert. Thus I would argue the warning was not valid. John has never been blocked before, nor can I see him receiving a warning - I think he needs a valid one.
- More importantly he has not made 4 reverts in 24 hours - there is also no version listed in the report that he reverted to. Thus I would suggest an admin close this report and label it "no vio". John Smith's 11:43, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- No Violation – I'm going to take no further action here; the user had/has not received a warning, and a block would be fairly harsh in this instance. Any violations undertaken after the warning should be immediately posted to this page in a fresh report, and will be handled as necessary ~ Anthøny (talk) 13:35, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Does anyone ever read the bloody page? John, it was the second warning given to him for the same edit war. John, did you do any research on the matter? AGK did you even look at the editor's discussion page? How about looking at the bloody article itself? I suggest you try it the next time you are going to participate as an admin. If not, please do not waste your time or anyone else's. --Storm Rider (talk) 16:38, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Apologies, but I'm not actually sure what you're talking about. Could you rephrase that clearly (and civilly), outlining what it is I've missed ~ Anthøny 12:54, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

This doesn't justify my breaking it, I just read him say that there are to many pictures on that page I feel that the picture I tried to post was different cause it shows what custom add-ons that are popular for the mustang, many of the other pictures are redundant they are all stock mustangs. The problem is that it shows many pictures of the same year of mustangs but different packages... I wanted to show what kind of mustang people are most likely to see (I my version it best explains the mustang to the average person). The pictures on that page that should be deleted are the ones that show canvas convertible mustangs or the other available packages because people can picture that on their own, while the picture I posted shows stuff that is more in-tune with what people would what to see when reading about Mustang custom add-ons. I am sorry it WILL NOT happen again (but please resolve the issue)! Thank you. --Archer5054 07:51, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

This user has put into system to relentlessly revert almost any changes inserted into the articles he overviews, no matter how referenced.

They have been constantly blanking my comments in tandem [[158]. They have also called me edits vandalism and trolling in another instance here, [159] for saying that the article was not neutral. The contents they had removed on this page LTTE had valid citations from reliable sources such as the Hindu. Also I have added the totally disputed tag, which they keep removing, claiming its trolling and vandalism [160]. I have provided ample reasoning for addition of the tags. Most troubling, User snowolfd4 and his helper user lahiru_k have not participated and refuses to participate in the discussion regarding the content he keeps deleting on the LTTE page or elsewhere.

- Verdict - Look the WP:MOS and WP:FAC works on the the notion that it is unnecessary to cite the lead when the info is repeated and expanded upon with refs in the main text. In this case, the content was cited at the bottom and expanded in talking about military aid and assistance. So it just comes back to the fact that you are persistently adding spurious {{fact}} tags.

- Comment I searched WP:MOS and can't seem to find what this admin (User:Blnguyen) is referencing. I can't seem to come to the conclusion that this is a "black and white editing policy." I have been told user Blnguyen has been at odds, involving revert wars with the user Watchdogb in the past. Incidentally, user User:Blnguyen has blocked user Watchdogb [161] for this reason and this 'verdict' is very questionable. I would ask another admin look into this . Also can you please point out the paragraph in WP:MOS that mentions this. The point should be made that per, WP:LEAD, the lead paragraph needs to stand on its own. In this case, the primary reference for most historical points (including where this great king helped Pandya against Cholas) is the Culavamsa (a religious text). This is like saying Rama burnt down whole of Lanka is a fact (without any qualifications) based on the reference by the Ramayana. Historian will have difficulty validating that. Therefore I think its more than valid that fact tags were needed in the article, particularly in the place where Watchdogb had wanted them. Sinhala freedom 02:19, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

- This exactly what it say on WP:LEAD, "It (sic WP:LEAD) should contain up to four paragraphs, should be carefully sourced as appropriate, and should be written in a clear, accessible style so as to invite a reading of the full article." Clearly the sentence in question doesn't have a citation in WP:LEAD and the comparable sentence in the main body doesn't have a citation in the main body. The main reference for rest of the article is the Culavamsa and I have highlighted my problems with that. So this block is very questionable to say the least. Sinhala freedom 02:54, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
- In general 3RR violations are blocked in order to discourage edit-warring, something I have seen Snowolfd4 do all too much of, with little rationale besides "I don't like it". I would anticipate that if this recurs in the future, it would be dealt with in a more serious way. Jayjg (talk) 13:01, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

The other two deal with a completely different section. Arthur Rubin's report here seems premature and since he was involved in edit warring himself, highly innapropriate. Thanks again for page protection. This should give us time to discuss/cool off. -- Levine2112 discuss 19:43, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
- Please read WP:3RR; it's any four reverts, not necessarily of the same text or the same reason. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 19:54, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
| “ | A revert, in this context, means undoing, in whole or in part, the actions of another editor or of other editors. This can include undoing edits to a page, deleting content or restoring deleted content, undoing page moves (sometimes called "move warring"), undoing administrative actions (sometimes called "wheel warring"), or recreating a page.
An editor does not have to perform the same revert on a page more than three times to breach this rule; all reverts made by an editor on a particular page within a 24 hour period are counted. Note that consecutive reverts by one editor are often treated as one revert for the purposes of this rule. |

- That's a pretty weak interpretation considering that I was protecting the page from BLP issues. I believe that in BLP, 3RR is irrelevant. -- Levine2112 discuss 01:11, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
- If there was any BLP issue at all, then it was you who was guilty of breaking the rule by making an unnecessary edit that introduced ambiguous wording that could easily be interpreted by unwary readers to mean that Barrett was acting in association with Pfizer during the interview, which is patently untrue. The ambiguity may not have been obvious to you, because you may not have intended it and therefore been reading it your own way, but others saw it and wanted to prevent the possibility of it being misread by others. We have been discussing this matter quite a bit now and yet you persisted in edit warring and reintroducing the BLP violation. You are the one in violation of BLP, so your defence crumbles and you in fact should get blocked for this edit warring. I have my own 3rr report (coming below) showing your edit warring pattern on another issue, all of this occurring roughly during the same time period. -- Fyslee/talk 05:20, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

- Diff of 3RR warning: 17:47, 25 July 2007
The history of the article shows the long line of reverts done by Klaksonn against multiple editors - not just myself. I have attempted to engage in dialog with him but to no avail.
- Talk page entry on 12:02, 23 July 2007. Reverted article with no response (20:58, 23 July 2007)
- Talk page discussion on 21:11, 23 July 2007. Again reverted without discussion (21:13, 23 July 2007).
I am trying to improve the article but unable to do so due to the Klaksonn's attitude to editors who do not support his POV (and has recently been blocked for incivility).
I do not believe Klaksonn is willing to work constructively and is hindering other editors who are trying to do so.
I also request the article be unprotected as no other editors are edit warring. It is only Klaksonn who is doing so with multiple other editors (see endorsement of this view here by an uninvolved editor).

There may be many more reverts in the past 24 hours. User is aware of the three-revert rule. The editor is also threatening anyone who changes his excessive edits, in one case saying, "if you remove citation requests you will be blocked for vandalism. no matter how many there are!!!"
My point is if someone asks for a citation tag, because i need proof , other users cannot simply remove the tag. the complaint made seems to be directed at the number of tags given rather than why they were given. There isnt a limit to how many tags are required surely? If a tag is needed then a tag is needed, if something is unsourced it needs a tag surely?? I am perfectly award that it looks messy but that surely doesnt mean I cant add more tags. If I am in the wrong would an administaror inform me. I have always been under the assumption that you can tag ANY unsourced claim. Please let me no.Realist2 18:23, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Here is one of the many example of excessive tagging that editors have taken an issue with:
It featured the single "Without Me", an apparent sequel to "The Real Slim Shady", in which he makes derogatory comments about boy bands[citation needed], Limp Bizkit[citation needed], Moby[citation needed], and Lynne Cheney[citation needed], among others[citation needed]. --YellowTapedR 18:26, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
I have already discussed this with another user, the point is because there are so many names given it will be very difficult to find a source that covers them all, however if you find a source that names them all at once then yes obviously all those tags can go. however it might be easier for people to find them individually so all tags must stay. Realist2 18:51, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
I cannot believe this is happening for adding citation tags, its a joke surely. Realist2 18:59, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
I admit there's a lot of garbage on the article that needs sourcing. But you're preventing anyone from slimming down the number of citation requests. One more example:
"Eminem is infamous for the controversy surrounding many of his lyrics[citation needed]. With the enormous success of his highly acclaimed[citation needed] album The Marshall Mathers LP and its subsequent nomination for four Grammy awards[citation needed]including Album of the Year[citation needed], critics such as GLAAD denounced his lyrics as homophobic and misogynist, while others protested that it promoted violence.[3]"
The citation at the end of that paragraph says that he had been nominated for four Grammys, including album of the year, as well as that GLAAD had denounced his lyrics. So, those two requests can be removed, though the inclusion of the phrase "highly acclaimed" is a bit fanboyish and can probably be dropped. The first sentence, about creating controversy through his lyrics, does not need to be cited because it is expanded upon below and in other parts of the article. The fact that he is known as a controversial rapper is not contested by anyone. --YellowTapedR 19:09, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

- No one needs to be told the rapist are wrong. We naturally know that murder and rape is wrong. The law has punishments for it. this is what neutral really means. I suggest you read it. Privacy is a moot point with neutrality. You also make being a victim sound shameful. You are in the wrong about that. All the shame goes to the perpetrator.

Nobody appoints anybody to edit here and I certainly dont need your pernmissionm to edit, you have been warned about claiming articles as your own and yet your persist in your behaviour. Please desist. Wikipedia neutrality doesnt mean neutrality between perpetrator and victim, it means expressing the common view which is that rapist are in the wrong, 100% responsible for their crimes (she made me do it is no defence) and that victims are entitled to privacy because they are victims, SqueakBox 03:41, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

European Union (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Lear 21 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log): Time reported: 07:58, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
- Comment : Lear 21, just emerged from a weeek-long block, has been reverting senselessly all day long yesterday and keeps on today, in spite of JLogan (talk · contribs)'s best efforts to guide him towards the talk page in order to discuss matters first. A desperate case. --RCS 08:01, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
- Please provide diffs showing more than three reverts within 24 hours. Thanks. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 08:38, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
There has been no violation of 3RRR not even 2RRR! User:RCS made a provocative and unbased accusation of user Lear 21, who is one of the most frequent contributer to the EU talk page (162 edits: see my record on the userpage). The accusation tries to imply a connection to a recently blocked account. This block itself will be subject of further discussion about wether this block was an abuse of administrator rights. User:RCS has never appeared on the talk page himself. Lear 21 08:49, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
- The EU page is working to a stable version. Lear 21 is far from the most frequent contributor to the talk page and if he does his comments usually are not looking for consensus. What happened yesterday is that after a month of careful editing of the article by several editors in good harmony (among whom myself), Lear 21 reappeared after some time of absence and started to "reinstate" several sections, images etc. Without discussion, without informative edit summaries. When these revisions were reverted (by several editors), Lear re-reverted or reinserted his changes, time after again. In the end I reinstated the last version before this started (yesterday morning). All the editors reverting Lear's edits have left extensive rationale (and apologising for the mess caused by the frequent reverts) on the talk page; Lear only added a very short line. The fact that several editors apparently disagreed and took the effort to argue why has not stopped Lear, nor has he looked for any kind of ocnsensus (and gave edit summaries like: This is standard no reason for change needed).
- Although the letter of the 3RR may not be violated (as the sections that were reinserted where often subtly reprhased, or different sections where reinserted at once), I think this whole issue is a demonstration of a violation of the spirit of the 3RR rule. Whether the reporter of this is a frequent editor or not is not relevant. Arnoutf 09:38, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
- Agree with Arnoutf. —Nightstallion 11:08, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
Perhaps instead of a block for 3RR, someone should initiate/file WP:RfAr or some other form of dispute resolution. It may be a long process, but its worth it. Nat Tang ta | co | em 10:18, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
I don't see any violation of the 3RR here, diffs are only provided for three reverts. If talking it out can't resolve it, I would advise everyone involved to seek mediation or an article RfC rather than edit warring. Seraphimblade Talk to me 11:15, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
- I would prefer the talking solution, the problem is that Lear21 is not really talking in that while he occasionally posts on the talk page he is hardly listening to what others say; but this is not the place for such arguments. Arnoutf 12:18, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
- It was primarily myself and lear who were involved in the edit war so I don't think my voice can count for much here, but I did try to take it to the talk page and if you look my arguments have been outlined on several occasions as I sought support for them. During my edit war with him he made only one comment there. I even took it to his talk page attempting to seeks a ceasefire and discussion on it, myself relenting first I might add, but as soon as I stopped he seemed to have no interest in discussion. You do what you think needs to be done, I just want some stability, but without giving in to a single editors views. - J Logan t: 12:40, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

To me, this is an obvious case of Vandalism (based on his/her so-called reasons for reverting which I will quote) and stems from a racially biased motivation, which was stated by the person themselves, after providing no source. If you'd check the history, this person is responsible for past edit wars on this page, refuses to discuss the topic, is belligerent, and racially motivated in his/her actions.
A quote from this person on why he/she is reverting. This is from the talk page:
Saint Maurice is an Egyptian and Egyptians were never black. End of story
^It's out of context but this basically sums it up imo.. The user isn't being reasonable at all and I suggest they be blocked for stagnating the progression of articles on wikipedia and racial bias/personal attacks. As can be seen on the talk page.Taharqa 08:21, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

- I disagree I am close to violating the 3RR. We have an editor who has come out of nowhere and continually changing a long-standing lead photograph on the Chihuahua page. With a poor-quality photograph that has been eschewed on the page. Somehow this "newbie" not only knows the file name of this other photograph, where to find it's uploader, but also how to report 3RR violations? Two regular editors have reverted and engaged the editor, who continues to revert. At this point, it's pretty much vandalism. The editor has become emotionally-charged on their Talk page. --David Shankbone 00:29, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
- first revert was not undoing vandalism. someone thought that the osbourne's dog "mimi" wasn't famous enough to be on the page and removed it. reasonable, since other sites say this dog is named "martin"[182] then davidshankbone re-entered it. four reverts it is.

WJBscribe already decided on this report. Chichichihua, keep putting it back until you get the answer you want, and it's you that's likely to be blocked for disruption. Seraphimblade Talk to me 04:56, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
this is a new report, this user continued reverting after the last warning from wjbscribe Chichichihua 06:05, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
- It is my belief that User:Chichichihua is only interested in disruptive behavior. First, this editor continually tried to replace the lead photograph on the Chihuahua page with one that is of far inferior quality. It is interesting that out of all the photographs this editor could have chosen from the other Chihuahuas on the page, they chose the very photograph that the Talk:Chihuahua page discuss in particular as being one of the poorer quality images. Not only is there consensus about the lead, there is consensus on the Talk page to not use the photograph User:Chichichihua wants to use. Then this editor canvassed the editor who uploaded the photograph, who is now also engaging in an edit war. This editor has been warned on their talk page, has been warned by an admin about edit warring, and continues their disruptive behavior. I would like to point out that this behavior is similar to my months-long battle with an IP troll, who is now a banned user. --David Shankbone 16:01, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
whatever. this is plain and simple four reverts in 24 hours to put up a picture of your pet which isn't even a pure chihuahua! you were given the benefit of the doubt before but now you are just revert warring. Chichichihua 23:22, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
- I concur completely with David's assessment of the situation. It is not a simple case of him reverting to his own pet image either, for the above reasons, and that I also have undone Chichichihua's disruptive edits on the article several times. Reverting an obvious vandal is not a violation of the 3RR. VanTucky (talk) 23:46, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah I'll go with David and Van Tuckey, both of whom have considerable better edit histories than Chichichihua in this case. David strikes me as a good faith editor with knowledge of chihuahuas, so edit away, mate, SqueakBox 23:50, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
according to the vandalism page, Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia. is putting this image up compromising the integrity of wikipedia? anyone would recognize it as a chihuahua. Chichichihua 03:34, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
It is a compromise of Wikipedia's integrity when you choose an image that has been decided though consensus to be unsuitable, and repeatedly add it without a single reasonable attempt to create a new consensus about it. Repeatedly adding counterproductive, low-quality images without any discussion is disruptive to say the least. VanTucky (talk) 03:40, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
sorry vantucky, your definition of vandalism is not what i see on the policy page. it also doesn't describe the situation. there is at least one other user which supports using the image to the right over the boston terrier mix that is there now. you know this because you've reverted his work. here's when to apply the "vandalism" exception: according to 3rr reverts to remove simple and obvious vandalism, such as graffiti or page blanking -- this exception applies only to the most simple and obvious vandalism, the kind that is immediately apparent to anyone reviewing the last edit. It is not sufficient if the vandalism is simply apparent to those contributing to the article, those familiar with the subject matter, or those removing the vandalism itself. Chichichihua 03:51, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- User:Chichichihua has now: 1. Edit warred; 2. been incivil; 3. removed an admins remarks on this noticeboard; 4. canvassed; 5. disregarded all attempts at civil engagement; 6. plastered an image on at least three pages; and 7. been told they are being disruptive on the admin board by bringing up multiple 3RR cases.

The next three are simple reversions of other editors' edits, using the "undo" feature. He has been blocked several times before for 3RR, so he's well aware of the policy. Jayjg (talk) 06:09, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
- Unless you haven't noted, the first two reverts were clearly adding cited content back to the article (the words "pro-LTTE" are directly used in the citation[198]), and User:Black Falcon, who removed the words while making grammatical edits had no objections in me adding them back. --snowolfD4 ( talk / @ ) 06:17, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Taking a closer look, there really is no 5 reverts at all! There are only 3 reverts that can be seen as revert warring. The first two are actually two edits in a series of edits by multiple editors and was done only to fix the grammar. What happened was Black Falcon removed a part of the sentence because it was not grammatically correct. Snowolf fixed the grammar and brought it back. It took a couple of edits to do this and even Black Falcon didnt complain!! Jayjg presenting it as part of revert warring on snowolf's part is downright despicable. I request the admins to unblock snowolf. Sarvagnya 07:29, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
- No, it was 5 reverts. 3 were done to revert the Lead paragraph to the user's earlier edit. The other 2 was done to put the article to what the user has edited to earlier. So, in essence, eventhough he did not directly revert the same paragraph, the user reverted the article to what he had written earlier 5 times. Sarvaganya, please refrain from attacking other editors. Please read WP:NPA and do not make statements like "Jayjg's behaviour has been despicable and he's insisting on things that come across as extraordinarily ridiculous and weird. He is making up his own policies on the fly and trying to browbeat editors there". PS.Jayjg did not block user. He followed wikipedia procedures. Thanks Watchdogb 13:23, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

- This is an attempt by me to organize a poll. I request that those responding keep their vote separate from the discussion (i.e., vote in one section and discuss in another). After the discussion begins to get going in the "Poll" section, I simply remove the discussion to a discussion section, above. He ignores my explanation and reverts. I continue to try to explain he continues to revert, with malice (e.g., ordering me: "DO NOT REMOVE other people's cmments!" (which I didn't) and to "CEASE refactoring other peoples commentss"). In the process, the poll is completely disrupted. Sunray 09:16, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

- Revisions to remove simple and obvious vandalism do no violate the Three-revert rule and are the Exception to WP:3RR. Under Discussion page vandalism Where "An obvious exception would be moving posts to a proper place"[199]. this was not at all the case with User:Sunray edits. User:Sunray was intentionaly moving discussions away from their intended place (see below for diffs), and in doing so is considered vandalism. Even after repeated attempts in edit summaries, and in discussion to prevent the removal of these discussions, this behavior continued. I'll add also, based on the direction of consensus currently (based on policies WP:EL and WP:RS), which is opposite of User:Sunray's position) this may even qualify as possibly Sneaky vandalism, which involves reverting legitimate edits with the intent of hindering the consensus/poll process, as there seems to no other legitamate reason for the actions. --Hu12 10:29, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

- Being active in the discussion portion of the page, and being the one reverting the vandalism, it would be more appropriate for another sysop to make the block. Obviously this was prompted by the filing of Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#.22Suspect.22_edits_on_Talk:Straw-bale_construction. It is worth noting that User:Sunray has been blocked in the past for making personal attacks. Thank you--Hu12 11:05, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
- Two brief observations on what Hu12 has said:
- It is curious that he now thinks that I've violated WP:3RR. When he made a report at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents he said that I was "dangerously becomming close to a 3RR violation [sic]."[200] (i.e., not a 3RR violation). I have made no edits to the page in question since then.
- Point taken that a block might not be feasible since he is an admin. However, his actions do require some sort of sanction, IMO. I have no wish to escalate this further, so my report here will stand. Sunray 17:07, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
- Two brief observations on what Hu12 has said:
Per WP:RPA#When_not_to_refactor, It might be better to not refactor if there is any kind of voting going on. Tampering with comments that are attached to votes may be perceived as in some way tampering with the vote itself. There is also the possibility that refactoring will make disreputable users think that it's ok to change someone’s comments and so abuse this policy. Of course bad edits by people abusing the policy may easily be reverted.--Hu12 06:12, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Timber99 has no other contributions other than the blanking of the Professional wrestling aerial techniques page, and then the undoing of each revert I had made to put the page back to my last edit. User account was created exactly 1 hour after I made an edit to this page, and user blanked the page 3 minutes after my edit posted. After I undid user's revision, Timber99 undid my version to the version prior to my original edit. I had stated on the talk page that I did not want an edit war, afterwhich Timber99 accused me of attacking them. I had added valid content which was sourced, unlike much of the content on that page, including the version they keep reverting to. The section I added was well-sourced, but the section Timber99 keeps reverting to contains 1 source which appears to be from a fan page. Timber99 feels I need to prove my information using reliable sources, while they defend the current content which contains one non-reliable source. If it needs to go to a review I am confident that my edit should stand. WrestlefnLI 22:32, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
- I initially indef blocked Timber99 as a vandal based on his first couple of edits but when I went back to check I realised that this was an editing dispute with a new user who was finding the interface a struggle. I have therefore rescinded the block with apologies. Had I done my homework I would have simply said editing dispute seems to have moved to talk page. No further action required. Spartaz Humbug! 09:22, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- I left this on your Talk page as well: Hey Spartaz, as I am sure you are aware there was a problem with the new user Timber99 on the page Professional wrestling aerial techniques. In the event that this user continued to revert the edits that I made to a move with references. I saw you initially blocked him, then unblocked him feeling that it went to a Talk page... however he again not only reverted the page again (after your reverted back to my edit), he added this to my talk page:
"According to what you wrote on my page, there is a rule about making an edit which goes back to anold version more than 3 times in 24 hours. You're currently at 3 so im giving u aheads up. please be more careful in the future not to engage in "edit wars." i explained on talk page why it is important to get a discussion going about this change ebfore it is made"
Furthermore, he continues to refuse to sign any of his messages and it seems as though this is a user may be a sockpuppet who created this account in order to not blemish his own user account. Not accusing, although he/she seems to know a little more than the regular 'novice' user. Could you please help me with this situation, because it is getting ridiculous. Also note, there are absolutely no edits made by Timber99 other than reverting my edits on a well thought out & referenced change made by me. I did everything possible including adding a friendly Welcome tag to his talk page, and tried to discuss the issue... Please help!!! WrestlefnLI 16:45, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

- The 3rd evidence you have shown is not a revert. I took that off because it was there from before and no reason was given. Also there was another Totally disputed tags above that one. This is not violating 3 RR because I only reverted 2 edits that other editors thought were redundant and POV. The last revert was on a the fact that there was allready a disputed tags put on the opening paragraph of the body of the article Watchdogb 00:57, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Whats the point in having 2 "The neurality and accuracy of this article is disputed" in the same article ? Taking that off is not reverting.... It's called cleaning up the article. Thanks Watchdogb 01:00, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Rules say "An editor must not perform more than three reverts, in whole or in part, on a single page within a 24-hour period. A revert means undoing the actions of another editor, whether involving the same or different material each time". However, I have only reverted 3 times (2 of same material and 1 of a different). The 3 revert given on this evidence is not a revert... It is clean up of the article. Watchdogb 01:11, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- A revert means undoing the actions of another editor, you undid the insertion of the tag twice and undid the insertion of the sentence twice that makes four reverts within 24 hours neither of which was reverting simple vandalism. If you were cleaning up the article then you have to state that in the edit summary or in talkpage. But not in this way.[214][215]--♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ walkie-talkie 01:17, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- No, I only reverted the tags ONCE thus bringing the total of reverts to 3. Also note Abuse of tags. There was actually 3 Totally disputed tags applied to the article. One was taken off but 2 remained. That's why I deleted it. How can an article be placed with 2 of these tags ? As it clearly says "This articles..." Watchdogb 01:23, 30 July 2007 (UTC) Pleae see vandalism. Abusing the tags are vandalism.
- If you think that adding several {{TotallyDisputed}} to the article is tag abusing then you could replace them with {{Totally-disputed-section}}. After someone make a 3RR report, crying over here to justify your edits doesn't make any sense.--♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ walkie-talkie 04:56, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

One quick look at that talk page will explain why that tag was added. And in any case, this is a open and shut case of violating 3RR. If snowolf can be blocked 48 hrs for correcting grammar, then I feel watchdog deserves a longer block for revert warring with content. Sarvagnya 01:29, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, there is not violation in taking off vandalism. Please take a look at abusing the tags. I left that on the edit summery as WP:AGF and did not want to call anyone a Vandal. I asked why it was disputed so that if someone can provide reason then its better to add "section is disputed tags" or "Fact" tags. Thats why I asked for a discussion so that I can add proper tags so that the article can be fixed Watchdogb 01:42, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Please take a look at this Jossi's taking off this tags. Even he thinks its not addressed. Thus he took it off also. This is also clean up as mine was. Check his edit summery rm disputed tags. If there are specific issues to be addressed, please explain in talk . Thanks Watchdogb 02:20, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Now it's too late. Werther you explained rolling on floor doesn't make any sense since you have violated the basics of WP:3RR;
An editor must not perform more than three reverts, in whole or in part, on a single page within a 24-hour period. A revert means undoing the actions of another editor, whether involving the same or different material each time.
- In Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RR#User:Snowolfd4 reported by User:Jayjg .28Result:48h.29 Snowolfd4 blocked for 48h just for fixing grammar. There even you made a comment. So hope you understand the policy even better than me. --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ walkie-talkie 04:56, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- User snowolfd4 did more than "fix grammar" he reverted. He was not removing vandalism. However, I was. If you see an earlier version here where there are 3 "This article is disputed" tags. This is blalent abuse of the tags. One was taken off but the user who took off one forgot to take off another. So, I came along to fix it thats it. Watchdogb 11:45, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
There is no violation here. The 2nd and 3rd reverts are consecutive edits by the same user, which according to policy, is to be considered an one revert. So, there are only 3 reverts. Policy states: Note that consecutive reverts by one editor are often treated as one revert for the purposes of this rule Lotlil 05:24, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

- Fourth reversion: 18:59, 29 July 2007 (I gave my reason previously. It has not changed. After the first edit back you should have left it and attempted to change the consensus. You are edit warring.)
I warned him in my edit summary of my third revert that we had both reached our limit. In the words of Newyorkbrad, "this is clearly one of the silliest edit-wars ever," but Amadscientist seems unwilling to compromise with me. Atropos 02:30, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- I would not normally comment on this sort of thing, but I believe it should be pointed out that Atropos is simply not editing in good faith. He made an edit that went against consensus. I edited it back to where it was and went to the talk page where he immediately accused me of both personal attacks and being uncivil. He clearly has returned to the page to start a second edit war and his first edit summery bears this out. I believe Atropos should be blocked from editing on the page as purposely being disruptive. I have attempted to start a discussion on the subject to see if consensus has changed and followed Wiki suggestion of creating a poll to gauge editors opinions. This was then called "disjointing (the) discussion".
- I believe it is the purpose of this member to create a problem and go against Wiki policy himself to bait me into changes to report me for 3RR violation. But I will abide by any decision reached of course.--Amadscientist 03:42, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- I have tried to explain how consensus develops to this user; I even placed the flowchart at the policy page directly in the article. Him and another user had previously agreed that a cast section was unnecessary, I disagreed. He blew it into this out of control issue. Further, if I was baiting him to break the 3RR, I wouldn't've specifically warned him that he would break it if he reverted again. None of this is actually relevant, as he has clearly and knowingly violated the 3RR. He has a history of doing so; in addition to what Kww mentioned he broke the 3RR at straight pride.

- Just to point it out, this is the second time that amadscientist has violated 3RR on this article. The first time (June 13, 2007), he was rewarded by getting the article protected for a week while he threw a tantrum. Hopefully, this time you will block him for a while and get him off of that high horse that he rides so well.Kww 03:44, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- That is simply not true. I have never been found to violate the 3RR rule. What he means is that he reported me once before over the same article. No action was taken. I believed it was a wrangling attempt then, as I do now. Also, as I remember the article was protected a second week due to "Edit warring and refusal to discuss it on the talk page". I know I made every attempt to discuss the problem on the talk page, but even after a week I was accused of "Holding the article hostage".--Amadscientist 04:06, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- That you did it is documented here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/3RR&oldid=138064070
- That you weren't punished for it is the reason that we are back here today. Kww 10:48, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- That you don't understand the difference between accusing someone and their being found guilty, as well as an obvious vendetta is why You are here. As for my "high horse" it certainly is far lower than yours. While there certainly were enough lessons to learn from the last situation, just who learned what would be a very good question to ask. I leave this in the hands of admin. This thread is long enough.--Amadscientist 11:35, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Those are the correctly formatted diffs. This report is getting a bit stale, because it has been ignored by admins for so long. I'm hoping that taking care of the report details will help. Note that amadscientist is of the opinion that if you don't "convict" him of violating 3RR, it didn't really happen. I don't care much how someone teaches the lesson, but he does need to be taught that violating 3RR is wrong, and that he has done it.Kww 00:47, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
- The timestamps you gave on your diffs don't match any of the timestamps in the edit history. Please construct the report properly; all of us admins are volunteers and we don't have the time to untangle badly-constructed reports.

- Example of same or similar reverts (deletions of my comments) to Talk:Joseph C. Wilson: [237]; click on "older edit" and "newer edit" for the rest of them. There are over four reverts there of my comments on that talk page. I have since restored what I could recover of them. (It has been very time-consuming.) His deletions of my comments violate both WP:3RR and Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines.
- Example of same or similar reverts in my talk page at User talk:NYScholar: See editing history for comment by administrator: [238]; click on "older edit" and "newer edit" for rest of them. There are over four reverts there of my talk page.
- This user (who does not have a user page but only a user talk page, which I have linked to) has been both deleting legitimate comments that I posted from Talk:Joseph C. Wilson and deleting my work from the article itself without prior explanation on the article's talk page. After I posted warnings about the damage to the article and the damage to the integrity of its citations formatting and to the integrity of Wikipedia, he began deleting my comments from the article talk page [multiple times] and then posted personal attacks on me (in the guise of "No personal attacks" notices) multiple times on my own talk page; each time that I deleted them, posting a "NPA" template, he deleted that and re-posted his own claims in bold print, engaging in multiple reverts of my user talk page.
- He claims in various places (Talk:Joseph C. Wilson, the talk pages of various administrators, and my own talk page [which I deleted]) that I have "vandalized" the Wilson article, which I have clearly not done. He has been blocked first for 48 hours for violating WP:3RR and then again for a week (which just expired) for violating WP:3RR (see link above). He has reverted my deletions of his offensive postings on my talk page multiple times and he has edited and/or deleted my comments from the talk page of the article on Wilson multiple times:
- I was blocked for 48 hours twice for my attempts to delete what I [legitimately, I believe; espec. in hindsight] regarded as his Wikipedia:Vandalism to Joseph C. Wilson. The administrators at the time did not feel that he was vandalizing the article. I think that he was and is vandalizing it (sources that he gives do not support his statements).
- Please see Talk:Joseph C. Wilson for more information: if he has deleted my comments again there, I will re-post them. [Since first posting this notice, I have reposted most of those I could recover and updated this in these brackets.] The user has no authority to delete my article talkpage comments [or my comments from my own talk page] and is violating Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines in doing so. If more documentation is needed, I will post it. (I do not use an active link in my signature; but it shows up in editing history contributions, etc. For more information, see User talk:NYScholar.)

- He deleted my comments from Talk:Joseph C. Wilson through multiple reverts. In its history, one must examine the following:
- He engaged in multiple reverts (over three) to my user talk page: They are obvious in my history page at [239]:
from 22:07 on July 30:
- 22:07 July 30 &
- 22:08 July 30diffs
- 22:10 July 30 diff
- 22:11 July 30 diff
- 22:12 July 30 diff
- 22:12 July 30 diff
[See administrator's editing summary in reverting his reverts]
[Note: at the top of this page, it states that if all the reverts are basically the same, one does not have to list each "diff" separately.]
See my "N.B." listed for a long time on my talk page. Not only is he himself violating WP:NPA and WP:AGF, but he is violating Wikipedia:Etiquette via those violations of WP:3RR.
- The user had already been blocked for a week for violations of WP:3RR and been warned by administrators that any such further uncivil behavior and subsequent violations of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines (including the 3RR) could result in indefinite block. He returned and immediately engaged in this repeat behavior.
- Along with these multiple deletions of my justifiable comments from Talk:Joseph C. Wilson, he posted a false and disingenuous account on his own talk page about what he was doing User talk:Tim Osman, which elicited an administrator's positive response to the false and disingenuous account (the administrator does not recognize the falseness of the account and, apparently, did not check his actual edits to the article to see if they supported his claims); click on that administrator's talk page for my comment about the problem; I did not respond on the user's talk page to avoid further personal attacks on me, given his behavior on my own talk page (the multiple reverts). His behavior violates many Wikipedia policies and guidelines. It is not acceptable talk page behavior. His multiple reverts (deletions) of my comments on the talk page preceded the administrator's reverting his changes to the article. All his reversions of my talk page are the same sorts of deletions of my comments with unfounded claims of "vandalism". He violates WP:AGF in removing my work and my comments from the article talk page and then claiming that I am "vandalizing" the article, while he is obviously not following Wikipedia's core policies Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, as linked inWP:BLP. Clearly, the administrator who undid his work to the article later does not agree with him. This user needs to be warned and blocked. By refusing to familiarize himself with Wikipedia's editing policies and guidelines, he is wasting my time and the time of others, including administrators. --NYScholar 10:32, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
- I blocked both editors for 48 hours. Both parties had been violating the talk page guidelines a lot; and technically this was a 3RR violation on both sides but I don't think 3RR is the main issue when it's on a talk page. Mangojuicetalk 14:29, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

I would say that the latter is better, since both are long term productive editors and this is an isolated incident and the reverts only took place on one day and was not an extended period.

- Example of same or similar reverts (deletions of my comments) to Talk:Joseph C. Wilson: [254]; click on "older edit" and "newer edit" for the rest of them. There are over four reverts there of my comments on that talk page. I have since restored what I could recover of them. (It has been very time-consuming.) His deletions of my comments violate both WP:3RR and Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines.
- Example of same or similar reverts in my talk page at User talk:NYScholar: See editing history for comment by administrator: [255]; click on "older edit" and "newer edit" for rest of them. There are over four reverts there of my talk page.
- This user (who does not have a user page but only a user talk page, which I have linked to) has been both deleting legitimate comments that I posted from Talk:Joseph C. Wilson and deleting my work from the article itself without prior explanation on the article's talk page. After I posted warnings about the damage to the article and the damage to the integrity of its citations formatting and to the integrity of Wikipedia, he began deleting my comments from the article talk page [multiple times] and then posted personal attacks on me (in the guise of "No personal attacks" notices) multiple times on my own talk page; each time that I deleted them, posting a "NPA" template, he deleted that and re-posted his own claims in bold print, engaging in multiple reverts of my user talk page.
- He claims in various places (Talk:Joseph C. Wilson, the talk pages of various administrators, and my own talk page [which I deleted]) that I have "vandalized" the Wilson article, which I have clearly not done. He has been blocked first for 48 hours for violating WP:3RR and then again for a week (which just expired) for violating WP:3RR (see link above). He has reverted my deletions of his offensive postings on my talk page multiple times and he has edited and/or deleted my comments from the talk page of the article on Wilson multiple times:
- I was blocked for 48 hours twice for my attempts to delete what I [legitimately, I believe; espec. in hindsight] regarded as his Wikipedia:Vandalism to Joseph C. Wilson. The administrators at the time did not feel that he was vandalizing the article. I think that he was and is vandalizing it (sources that he gives do not support his statements).
- Please see Talk:Joseph C. Wilson for more information: if he has deleted my comments again there, I will re-post them. [Since first posting this notice, I have reposted most of those I could recover and updated this in these brackets.] The user has no authority to delete my article talkpage comments [or my comments from my own talk page] and is violating Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines in doing so. If more documentation is needed, I will post it. (I do not use an active link in my signature; but it shows up in editing history contributions, etc. For more information, see User talk:NYScholar.)

- He deleted my comments from Talk:Joseph C. Wilson through multiple reverts. In its history, one must examine the following:
- He engaged in multiple reverts (over three) to my user talk page: They are obvious in my history page at [256]:
from 22:07 on July 30:
- 22:07 July 30 &
- 22:08 July 30diffs
- 22:10 July 30 diff
- 22:11 July 30 diff
- 22:12 July 30 diff
- 22:12 July 30 diff
[See administrator's editing summary in reverting his reverts]
[Note: at the top of this page, it states that if all the reverts are basically the same, one does not have to list each "diff" separately.]
See my "N.B." listed for a long time on my talk page. Not only is he himself violating WP:NPA and WP:AGF, but he is violating Wikipedia:Etiquette via those violations of WP:3RR.
- The user had already been blocked for a week for violations of WP:3RR and been warned by administrators that any such further uncivil behavior and subsequent violations of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines (including the 3RR) could result in indefinite block. He returned and immediately engaged in this repeat behavior.
- Along with these multiple deletions of my justifiable comments from Talk:Joseph C. Wilson, he posted a false and disingenuous account on his own talk page about what he was doing User talk:Tim Osman, which elicited an administrator's positive response to the false and disingenuous account (the administrator does not recognize the falseness of the account and, apparently, did not check his actual edits to the article to see if they supported his claims); click on that administrator's talk page for my comment about the problem; I did not respond on the user's talk page to avoid further personal attacks on me, given his behavior on my own talk page (the multiple reverts). His behavior violates many Wikipedia policies and guidelines. It is not acceptable talk page behavior. His multiple reverts (deletions) of my comments on the talk page preceded the administrator's reverting his changes to the article. All his reversions of my talk page are the same sorts of deletions of my comments with unfounded claims of "vandalism". He violates WP:AGF in removing my work and my comments from the article talk page and then claiming that I am "vandalizing" the article, while he is obviously not following Wikipedia's core policies Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, as linked inWP:BLP. Clearly, the administrator who undid his work to the article later does not agree with him. This user needs to be warned and blocked. By refusing to familiarize himself with Wikipedia's editing policies and guidelines, he is wasting my time and the time of others, including administrators. --NYScholar 10:32, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
- I blocked both editors for 48 hours. Both parties had been violating the talk page guidelines a lot; and technically this was a 3RR violation on both sides but I don't think 3RR is the main issue when it's on a talk page. Mangojuicetalk 14:29, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

What's somewhat interesting here is that after an editor (myself) made three separately substantive edits, to avoid the 3RR rule this user reverted them all at once (ie the 1st revert is actually three), and likewise with the second. So depending on how you look at it that is 4-6 reverts. Gatorgalen 16:53, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, that's not how it works; a revert is one undoing of another editor's action or actions. Hence, there have been two reverts undertaken, and (unless there are two more) thus no violation of WP:3RR has been committed ~ Anthøny 20:03, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
- I respectfully disagree. Even by your phrasing, he undid three "other editors' actions" in each time; he merely disguised it as one when it in fact is not. Please look closer. Gatorgalen 20:47, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

- "Editors should remove any contentious material about living persons that is… a conjectural interpretation of a source…. If the material is derogatory and unsourced or poorly sourced, the three-revert rule does not apply."
- As I explained on the BLP notice board, the diffs also show that I have tried to offer compromises edits that another editor received in good faith, but THF rejected the effort with insulting and uncivil language. Bad faith is manifest in these violations, and I have appealed for an administrator's intervention. Thank you.--Rgfolsom 20:15, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

First off, obviously the following revert history is not in the same literal day. But since DJBungi, after being canvassed by the now blocked (for edit warring related to the same article) user User:Chichichihua, has consistently reverted the lead image of Chihuahua once every day for several days running now, against consensus and without any discussion at all. This user has been reverted, and sternly warned, by multiple editors and admins.

- Comment - Both these editors are inputing false information into these articles, the Ulster Banner is not recognised by either the British Government or the Northern Ireland Assembly or its Government The Northern Ireland Executive. The Uslter banner was used between 1953 and 1972 by the former Northern Ireland Government as a government banner, this Government was abolished in 1973 under the Northern Ireland Constitution Act 1973 and its banner was abolished with it. The flag has some sports use today but that is un-official. They are trying to insert it into articles and templates dealing with Northern Ireland today, which is wrong and shouldn't be allowed in Wikipedia as it undermines the worth of the Encyclopedia. I should also add that User:Astrotrain has been blocked about six times since January for both edit warring on this issue and making personal attacks on me and other users, he seldom posts here and when he does its mainly to engagein edit wars. I regard his constant edit wars as vandalism, and inserting WP:OR and WP:POV, therefore although I may have technically broken 3RR on this, I haven't checked if I have or not it wasn't intentional.--padraig 10:51, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Further comment. Rgfolsom claims to be deleting because of WP:BLP, but that policy says (here):
Editors should remove any contentious material about living persons that is unsourced, relies upon sources that do not meet standards specified in Wikipedia:Verifiability, or is a conjectural interpretation of a source (see Wikipedia:No original research). If the material is derogatory and unsourced or poorly sourced, the three-revert rule does not apply. Content may be re-inserted when it conforms to this policy.
- This material is not derogatory (though negative) and is well-sourced to a Dow Jones publication, one of the best sources in the industry. (This has been refiled with the update.) Ministry of random walks 18:12, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
- This report ignores the outcome of a 3rr report filed less that 24 hours ago -- all the reverts involve the same text that violates BLP. The result yesterday was no block: "No block. If there are COI concerns, please post at WP:COI/N ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 21:19, 1 August 2007 (UTC)" Please see above, the report is still on this page. Thanks.--Rgfolsom 18:25, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
- The earlier filing was rejected because it was mal-formed and Rgfolsom had not yet violated 3RR: he was on his third revert, as a comparison of Jossi's post and the revert list above shows. Since Rgfolsom has reverted three more times since then, he is now in breach of 3RR. Ministry of random walks 21:51, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
- This report ignores the outcome of a 3rr report filed less that 24 hours ago -- all the reverts involve the same text that violates BLP. The result yesterday was no block: "No block.

- The article has now been protected by Jossi. However, I cannot see a violation of WP:BLP in the paragraph that User:Rgfolsom continues to remove, so this is a final warning that removing sourced information will result in an immediate block. WP:BLP is not a 'get out of jail free' card to remove sourced material, so edit sumaries such as "Reverting BLP violation, as often as it appears" are not relevant in this case. Content disputes belong on the talk page of the article. ELIMINATORJR 01:21, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Except for this violation, the editor seems to have good edits. I would recommend either a warning or short block, to keep the article stable. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 23:29, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Sure (though I thought that if they were all the same, multiple diffs weren't needed), my bad:
Note that the partial reverts addressed part of the information reverted in the other reverts, specifically the middle name of Sirius Black and the statement by Sirius mistakenly calling Harry Potter by his father's name. I think the partials are also reverts in their own right, but I would imagine that it could be open to interpretation. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 00:09, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Frikkers (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log): Time reported: 03:59, 3 August 2007 (UTC) This is technically between the 29th and today, but as there are again four reverts in this time period, all directly following a previous block on the 28th for 3RR violation on the exact same article in the exact same manner, I feel this is still an application of the 3RR.

- Previous version reverted to: 06:53, 28 July 2007 User removed essential sentence about Linus Torvalds from the introduction, after I added back in a place where it made more sense he kept reverting the original consensus-built sentence. With this occasion I will satisfy my curiosity to see if: "In cases where multiple parties violate the rule, sysops should treat all sides equally" are only empty words for admins.
- 1st revert: 22:27, 1 August 2007
- 2nd revert: 23:35, 1 August 2007
- 3rd revert: 23:47, 1 August 2007
- 4th revert: 00:07, 2 August 2007
- I didn't warn User:L about 3RR, but he seems very well versed in 3RR since he managed to fill in a 3RR form to report me in 7 minutes after my last revert.
- You just came off a 24 hour block so I understand why this wasn't posted before but we are not going to block a user for a 3RR violation that took place 2 days ago. The idea is to halt revert warring not to even the score. Spartaz Humbug! 07:15, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for being reasonable Spartaz, but just for the record, according to WP:3RR A revert means undoing the actions of another editor, which means the first one was clearly not a revert, as I was just editing, not undoing their actions. In addition, the fourth one wasn't intentional, as I was just adding a source to my statement. I wouldn't have reverted their content if it had matched what the source has said. That leaves us with just two revisions, and that's just asking for WP:RS --L-- 12:30, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
- While I understand this position, I don't understand why the first admin who took action against me didn't heed the bolded text on this very page: "In cases where multiple parties violate the rule, sysops should treat all sides equally". I am also disappointed that people well versed in 3RR reports get a free ride while users who don't look into ratting other people get banned. Again, to me only to figure out where and how to fill in the 3RR report form took a long time, while User:L who apparently is not a stranger to 3RR warring and bulling people took no time at all and filled in the report form in less than 7 minutes after my last reply. That in itself would not be a problem if admins would apply the rule uniformely and as the bold quote said all sides equally -- that's my real problem in this case. Thanks for your attention though, I didn't even expect somebody to review this because people usually think that the person who put the issue in their face is the problem and don't investigate the real issue. User:L, be happy you got scot-free this time with 3RR and you managed to block the other editor involved, bravo, well done! -- AdrianTM 13:24, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
- And once again, I did not violate the rule. As to the rest of it, yes, I am familiar with policy, as all editors should be. It has nothing to do with bullying or getting 'the other editor blocked', and the fact that you think that's what it's about shows you are far, far off the mark in your reason for reporting this --L-- 13:43, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
- Don't kid yourself, you did violate the policy, you didn't get banned for the reason explained above by Spartaz, not because you didn't violate the policy. To the admins: that's exactly why you should apply the policy to all the sides equally because users get the impression that they didn't do anything wrong if they are not punished while the other party involved gets punished. It's also a simple matter of fairness.... not that fairness is something THAT important... -- AdrianTM 14:02, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
- That's enough of this, from both of you. This page isn't for arguing. End of discussion. Next person to comment gets their edits reverted. --Deskana (banana) 14:03, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

- Comments I believe User User:Bremskraft is certainly able to make good edits but is abusing the system and disruptive editing on numerous fronts. My first interaction was reverting edits to the Discrimination template which stopped once they were confronted and then told the template was not what needed changing but the articles needed improving. This has been a very frustrating experience digging through all the edits to see where the potentially usable material of an article went. Please note this from the Fringe theories/Noticeboard[300] and User:Bremskraft deleting talk page comments asking for explanation for certain edits[301][302][303][304] including prior 3RR warning tags[305][306]

Comment: this editor began reverting edits, adding uncited information, then began adding 'cn' tags (1, 2) to facts not needing citation (being part of the actual current storyline). Duggy1138 offers other edits that are equally uncited (frankly, the info needed isn't forthcoming just yet, as the series is ongoing), so the edits are not successive or seeking consensus. He is attempting to introduce uncited info. WP:RS, ATT and V have all been pointed out numerous times on both the user's Talk page as well as the article Discussion page, to no avail. A block seems necessary (and maybe some mentoring), as the constant edits are disruptive and contrary to WP stated policy. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 06:19, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- I don't feel my edits are any more speculation than many of those accepted in the same section. I have been fumbling for a wording that implies less, and have offered a citation (non-textual, but visual). The addition of attributing the speculation to forums that have made that speculation was clearly a disaster. However, I am of the opinion that when discussing the promotional poster in question, the obvious references that the creators are making (whether true or tricks) should be made. One of the characters looks like someone, and is meant to look like someone, and should be mentioned as such or the reader is missing important information.
- Duggy 1138 08:09, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- With respect, that sort of debate is discussed in the Discussion area for the article, not in numerous edit summaries of your reverts. When you ignore the advice from people talking to you in your User Talk page, asking you to take it to Discussion instead of reverting, and choose to revert yet again when you are told that a 3RR report was filed about your violation, it sends a clear message that you think your viewpoint is more important than the rules that we all have to follow. What you have done here is address your reasons for reverting, not the idea that you have broken the rule in the first place, and simply don't care. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 17:14, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- The spirit of 3RRR is to stop sterile edit wars. To stop to opposite points of view simply reverting what the other has said. Three is a number so that there is a line to draw. However, I have, for the most part trying to configure the information I feel needs to be on the page in such a way that it confirms to the interuptation of the rules as appears around it. You have a very strict interuptation of the rules which stops some important information appearing in the article, but somehow allows other information and ironically ignores WP:IAR. I completely agree that we can't interupt the information for the reader, but we need to be able to give the reader all the information. I'm just trying to find a way within the rules to give the reader that information. You just revert anything you don't like.

- He's already been blocked in the past for 3RR. I asked him to self-revert[316] and he ignores the post. Considering his history of personal attacks (and the many he's made today) and his past block for violating 3RR I think an extended block is in order. Perspicacite 21:20, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- It should be noted that your request to self-revert was phrased in a rather confrontational manner. Raymond Arritt 22:03, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- Another user, Cool Hand Luke, already suggested he self-revert.[317] I was trying to get the no personal attacks means no personal attacks across to him. Perspicacite 22:13, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- As noted in these talk pages [318], Cool hand luke and I are in agreement about the content of the page. The changes which he and I painstakingly discussed and agreed to were reverted by Perspicacite. The three links are below. Someone please read the ANI compaint against him and so something. --Vitalmove 22:16, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Please see earlier ANI complaint against Perspicacite for cyber-bullying here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:ANI#Please_help_re:_User:_Perspicacite . Also, please not that the prior 3RR block was initiated by perspicacite and was unblocked as soon as people learned about his cyber-stalking. Perspicacite is attempting to game the rules to bully anyone who disgrees with him on an edit dispute. Please read the ANI complaint with all its included links. --Vitalmove 21:54, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- I'm afraid you misunderstand the point. You knew about the policy when you violated it this time (and last time too). The only reason Vitalemove was unblocked last time is because it had been too long since the violation to take administrative action - words of the blocking administrator, not me. Perspicacite 22:08, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- You did three reversions first. [319] 10:39 Aug 5, [320] 19:10 Aug 5, [321] 19:19 Aug 5. You deleted revisions which Cool hand luke & I had painstakingly discussed and agreed to in [322]. That's the point. You're attempting to game the rules to cyber-bully, which is the topic of your ANI complaint. Previously, as noted in the ANI article, you falsely accused me of cyber-puppetry, joined with someone (who later abandoned you) to delete another of my articles (you failed), and filed numerous baseless complaints about me all over the board. It's all in the ANI complaint. I only hope someone takes the time to carefully read it and do something about you. --Vitalmove 22:14, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- ? When did I ever accuse you of cyber-bullying? You were already admonished on WP:AN. Perspicacite 22:18, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- I meant cyber-puppetry. I edited to fix it. I'm going to keep those ANI complaints up and add to them every time you do something to disrupt my Wikipedia experience. Don't think for one second that you are going to harass me, or anyone, out of wikipedia or any other forum. I suggest you find another outlet.--Vitalmove 22:20, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

- There has not yet been a direct violation of this today. There have been warnings issued in the past and this violates the spirit of the rule (and that is reportable according to the project page). Please see Template_talk:Infobox_NFLactive#WP:3O_request where impartial parties support this. RFC has confirmed this as well. WP:ANI has been raised as well regarding behavior surrounding this. User is asserting a circumvention of the spirit of this rule here. Previous warnings were done here19:27, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- There doesn't appear to be a violation. Perhaps if you provide the 4 diffs that together constitute a 3RR violation, as well as the 4 diffs that show the information reverted by the user being inserted (thus proving the first four diffs as reverts), we can take action. Until then, No Violation. Anthøny 21:52, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

I have opened up all forms of DR, I have mentioned related behavior at WP:ANI and now the guy is trying to adjust a poll without discussing it.

One of these is by an IP that he admits is his. Could someone also tell him to stop making racial comments and attacks like these [345] [346]. This is not the first time that he was blocked [347] for making very offensive attacks [348]. Egyegy 21:50, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
- Um, excuse me to whom ever this my concern, but that last so-called revert wasn't a revert at all, it was a contribution of my own, I didn't revert him in anyway. I can assure you that if you check the history of the page this person has never ever contributed to the article and his abuse in trying to undermine every single edit I make I'd consider wikistalking and harassment. He's followed me from page to page, reverting me on articles he's never ever dealt with before and is trying to intimidate me and cause me stress by doing this, and then making false reports such as this. I strongly feel that I don't deserve a block due to the situation and the fact that I didn't revert but made a contribution.. This is exactly what the person wants, "for me to be blocked".. The last edit was an addition, a contribution, I never knew that after reverting someone, you weren't allowed to make anymore contributions/good-faith edits for the rest of the day..Taharqa 22:01, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
Now he is reverting thru a sock/meatpuppet [349] [350] that hasn't been used since his case was opened [351]. Egyegy 22:19, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
What are you talking about (we've been thru that nonsense!)? See this is what I mean, the person has an issue that I think would be better resolved with dispute resolution so he doesn't have to pursue so many outlandish claims. I reiterate, the fact that I know about the 3rr and noted that the said IP address was mine and I just wasn't logged in, should be a tell-tale sign that I was not reverting and intended on adhering to the policy... The first couple was reverting original research/POV, Jeeny also reverted the person. Yet this person here saw that and decided to join in the edit dispute. I did not revert him and only contributed a passage that reflects another source. That's it, I don't understand why this person would report me for that, unless he just WANTS me blocked. Not holding the person in bad-faith, but I do suspect harassment as he's been following me and reverting every edit I make. I seriously suggest dispute resolution as an alternative so that the person can stop following me around. Not trying to rant, so excuse me.. Taharqa 22:35, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
- I'm talking about you. The concern that this is your sockpuppet has been expressed by different users, it's hardly "outlandish". You also give yourself too much credit when you say that I'm "following" you or out to "harass" you. I always edit articles about Egypt. You only show up at these same articles to cause trouble and have apologized for it once [352]. But a short time after that you made those racial attacks on all Egyptian users. That's what harassment is. Egyegy 23:33, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
^Expressed by different users? Please. Even tho that isn't the issue, it was once expressed by Urthogie and due to your conflict disputes with me, you felt a need to submit to that preposterous conclusion which I won't entertain. Anyways, I stand by what I've stated above. Also please keep in mind that I've been on this article from the start and this person just showed up today, lead there from other article's i've edited where he's followed me.Taharqa 00:05, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

I raised a concern regarding a semi-protection of his, because I thought that it was perhaps not entirely appropriate.
- 1st revert: 23:21, 6 August 2007 he decided to remove my comment as "trolling"
- 2nd revert: 23:24, 6 August 2007 I was shocked, and reinstated the comment, asking why he thought I was a troll, but he reverted me (using admin rollback)
- 3rd revert: 23:25, 6 August 2007 I politely asked him not to use admin rollback in such a case, and to reply to my concern; he reverted it again, without a comment.
- 4th revert: 23:37, 6 August 2007 Because he did apparently not want to talk to me, I filed a Wikiquette Alert. The instructions on this page say that you must notify the person whom the WQA concerns on their talk page, so I did. Again, he removed my message without a comment.
- This person (Melsaran (talk · contribs)) has been trolling my talk page and adding me as many notice boards as possible.

- Trolling? I just raised a concern, is that trolling? You shouldn't use admin rollback for this, and it's considered polite when you respond to my message. And this is not "as many noticeboards as possible", I didn't intend to report you here. When I filed a WQA, I assumed that you wouldn't remove the notice, as WQA requires that I leave you one.

And the unprotection request was because I felt that the page protection was inappropriate, and you didn't reply to my concern. Melsaran (formerly Salaskаn) 21:54, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

If there is some way to permanently block his ip from any further vandalism, which seems to be his one and only occupation/purpose at Wikipedia, this would be very appreciated, as it is taking several contributors a lot of time to keep track of him, while he only seems to thrive from the attention and wasting our energy.

Gbambino was lately blocked for edit-warring and shortly afterward for a separate 3rr violation, besides other 3rr breaches or incident reports; habitually dances up to 3 reverts and sometimes beyond. See also his record as Gbambino06 and Gbambino: he has been indulging in this kind of behaviour for quite a long time & first was warned about 3rr shortly after debuting on WP, Feb 2005. -- Lonewolf BC 23:51, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- Uh, looking at the actual recent history - i.e., not back to edits on June 4 (!) - that would be two reverts in 24hrs, if indeed they could be classified as reverts, which removing your OR and POV, and attempting to recompose to satisfy all parties involved is not, especially as you refuse to engage in the discussion at talk where User:GoodDay and I were working out the issues. As per edit wars: shall I raise your behaviour at List of palaces, Canada Day, Royal tours of Canada, Monarchy in Ontario, etc., etc.? Be careful when trying to smear my character. --G2bambino 00:13, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Looking at the edit history, there are not 4 eligible reverts in a 24 hour period; neither is there any listed above.However, it would be prudent for y'all to stop editing the page and hash out your differences on the talk page. I may lock the page to that effect. -- Avi 14:42, 8 August 2007 (UTC)- Perhaps, but currently two of the three editors involved are satisfied with the present result. Lonewolf continues to offer no comments. --G2bambino 14:45, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Y'all now have 2 weeks to work this out. If you feel consensus has been reached earlier, feel free to drop me a line on my talk page or on WP:RFPP. Good Luck! -- Avi 14:48, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
For the record, I missed one revert, but as blocks are meant to be preventative, not punative, I do not feel further action needs to be taken. Based on a conversation on my talk page, however, dispute resolution may be in the offing. -- Avi 05:22, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
- So be it, but for the record I do not think that is the wisest course, given the circumstances and the offending editor's history of violations, particularly the very recent history. I foresee more "playing chicken" with, and violations 3RR by G2bambino, before long. -- Lonewolf BC 06:23, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
- Let's also have the record show that Lonewolf himself is guilty of multiple 3RR breaches, even recently. He's only skipped recourse because he hasn't been reported. I'll certainly not be so lenient in future. --G2bambino 14:29, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Again, the actual record (article's talk-page) rather contradicts the accusation. -- Lonewolf BC 19:55, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
- For all your verbosity you had one main concern: the Monarch came before the GG. Your subsequent edits removed all mention of the monarch, cited as they were, removed mention of the very city in which Rideau Hall is located, and added all sorts of OR about Rideau Hall being a guest house for the Queen and heads of state staying there; all this with not one single comment on the talk page. The article has been edited to address your initial, and so far only valid, concern. --G2bambino 20:54, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

This is not the place to argue that, though, and anyone else who comes upon this report and cares enough -- the likelihood seems tiny -- can read the article's talk-page and decide for themselves. -- Lonewolf BC 19:30, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

- The lack of a warning prevents a block only in cases where the editor can be reasonably assumed not to be cognizant of our policy. This does not hold for an editor such as yourself, who, as of November 12, 2006, knew enough about 3RR to call others "3RR specialists". Other than simple vandalism and BLP issues, there is no general permission for violating 3RR, which it appears you have plainly done here. -- Avi 14:03, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

- Dacy69 is under arbcom parole on 1RR per week[416], and has been blocked three times since the arbcom limited him on 1RR [417].
The user gamed the system by meatpupeting for Grandmaster and Atabek by reverting for them when they exhausted their 1RR's. Please note that he never edited the following articles before, neither did he participated in the talkpage before or after he reverted. His explanations in the talkpage for the reverts, were only a sentence long. He is clearly trying to circumvent his parole and continue his edit warring.
Sahl ibn Sunbat reverts, edit summary: (rv - pls. engage in talkpage)

- Comments: There is no instance of 1RR presented above. A party to an ongoing ArbCom case [418], User:VartanM is currently engaged in removing sourced content from Azerbaijan-related pages, particularly at Khachen: [419]. He also alleviates any attempts to insert dispute tags, despite the fact that he himself continues disputing at Talk:Khachen - [420]. In addition, he chooses to personally attack the users that don't agree with his opinion - see the edit comment here: [421]. He is also known [422] to make disruptive reverts and call others' edits as "vandalism" 19 times in a row. Atabek 17:56, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
- I have extensively participated in the talkpage of those articles and always justified my edits. For Makalp see how he vandalized the Armenian articles here Your edit on Anti-Turkism and number of other articles where you removed Armenian Genocide was an attack on Armenian users and was reported to Arbcom for trying to create a battle along national lines. Now please stop stalking me and soapboxing admin's noticeboard. VartanM 18:10, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
- Armenian "Genocide" is a claim being made by only one side in what was communal warfare and massacres. It has not been recognized under the U.N. convention on genocide. I don't see how my reflection of the facts on various pages is supposed to be an "attack along national lines", when I only replaced "genocide" with "massacres". Assume good faith and review WP:SOAP.

This is acutally 4 reverts in 27 hours.

He is a repeat edit-warrior and his behavior continues unabated after his previous block. Four reverts in 27 hours, under the circumstances, is gaming the system and violating the spirit of WP:3RR.

Comment Note that the user has been blocked before KarenAER 16:44, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: Just a note that user Jeeny has undone her last two edits and should therefore be back under the 3RR limit. However, this looks like a case which may require mediation. As a somewhat involved party, I'll vouch that user KarenAER has plainly edited against consensus and user Jeeny's edits were plainly meant to re-establish consensus version as per the talk page.--Ramdrake 18:12, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
- I second Ramdrake's comments. Even if Karen did not technically violate 3RR, he certainly violated the spirit, especially since his edits were completely unacceptable. The Behnam 18:17, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
The edits undone are:
As Jeeny has undone these edits, there is no violation. I think Jeeny now knows to better keep track of the number of reverts. Lesson learned :-) The Behnam 18:32, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

This is the first time I've ever reported an apparent violation, so I'm not sure I'm doing this correctly. In the article on Income tax, the putative violator has been repeatedly inserting a link to a video with some tax protester rhetoric that is not supported by the video and which is non-neutral language. The violator was asked to move the material to the talk page for the article where this material arguably really goes (if at all), which is the article Tom Cryer. The violator has not responded at all, and offers no explanations for his/her edits, aside from repeatedly reverting other editors. Yours, Famspear 17:17, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Note: No 3RR warning was issued to the user. I have added a warning here (17:25, August 10, 2007). Neil916 (Talk) 17:28, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Dear fellow editors: I apologize. I believe I made a typographical error on the IP address of the violator. The IP address involved is IP82.95.194.23, not IP82.95.194.123. Yours, Famspear 17:32, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Previous version reverted to: 01:18, 28 July 2007 (or, more clearly though less lately, 09:39, 25 October 2006)
Revert: capitalisation of Monarch/monarch ("The Monarch of the Commonwealth Realms...", in reverted-to version --> "The British monarch...", in just-before-revert version --> "The British Monarch...", in revert) ("The British Monarch...", itself, was last used in the version of 09:39, 25 October 2006)
Comment: this revert was mainly a disruptive edit of a non-revertive kind -- an introduction of an absurd format of presentation, seemingly ironically or as an edit-war tactic, or both. - 3rd revert: 14:31, 9 August 2007
Previous version reverted to: 02:50, 28 October 2006 (among others, each in part, but mainly this one)
Revert: Deletion of a passage that had developed over many edits and a long span of time
Comment: Because of the nature of this revert, it is partially a revert to each of several previous versions, each of which is the version just before some part of the deleted passage became incorporated therein. The given reverted-to version is the main one, though, whereas the edit following right after it (06:15, 28 October 2006) established the deleted passage's basic form and more of its words than did any other edit. Other bits of it originated afterward, or even before. - 4th revert: 18:46 & 18:51, 9 August 2007 (overall diff of two consecutive edits by the reverter)
Previous version reverted to: 00:17, 9 August 2007
Revert/comment: This revert is tricky, but it is a revert in spirit and substance and, technically, in some particulars. It reverts the affected section from the simple "British monarch" language to the "monarch, separately, of each of the Commonwealth Realms" language favoured by the reverting editor. More particularly, and following along in the order of the passage:
- "The British monarch..." is replaced by wording pointing to her being severally the monarch of many countries
- "...does not have a passport..." is reverted to "...does not have any passport..." [my italics on the reverted word]
- "...British passports..." is replaced with particularist language using "...in each..." (cf. "...passports in each of those countries...", in reverted-to version, and "...in each state passports...", in revert)
- "In Commonwealth Realms (which share the same monarch as the UK)..." is replaced by particularist language pointing to the UK's being merely one Commonwealth realm among the rest (cf. "...as per his or her role as sovereign of that particular country," and "...as Queen of that particular kingdom,...", etc.)
- There are certainly very particular bits which are reverted in this case (though they are also quite small), so technically this is a revert. However, what is more important for the present purposes is, I believe, its more diffuse revertive character. The effect of the edit is to revert to the earlier version, meaning-wise. The exact words used to do so are somewhat changed and stirred around, but this seems to serve no purpose other than to obscure that (or even throw into question whether) a revert has been made -- in what might be an instance of system-gaming. I think, though not without a shadow of doubt, that this is a revert. I shall be interested to see what expert opinion says. However, it is not actually needed to make a tally of four reverts.

See also the preceding edit-warring on this article, and the reported 3RR breaches by the same offender, on different articles, on 7 August (above), 28 July, 15 July (resulting in a block, though this is not noted in the report; see his blocklog), and block for edit-warring on 11 July.
The edit-war on this article is temporarily quiet, with the article in G2bambino's favoured form. Please consider the pattern of behavior shown, though, and its implications for the likelihood of further edit-warring by the offender.
-- Lonewolf BC 19:23, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Well, it was, quiet as of that last writing, but reverting has resumed, with G. taking part. -- Lonewolf BC 02:57, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
- October 2006!!? Surely this can't be serious. Yet another witch-hunt by Lonewolf to try his best to get me blocked, digging through ancient records to find some edit that coincidentally matches one I made yesterday.
- I made two reverts in the period between 00:17, 9 August 2007 and 21:24, 9 August 2007: 00:17, 9 August 2007 to 02:36, 8 August 2007, and 21:24, 9 August 2007 to 18:51, 9 August 2007.
- As for the other allegations by Lonewolf:
- 01:26, 9 August 2007 in no way matches 01:18, 28 July 2007
- 14:31, 9 August 2007 in no way matches 02:50, 28 October 2006
- 18:46 & 18:51 in no way matches 00:17, 9 August 2007
- This really is getting beyond ridiculous and is bordering on harassment, all because this particular user has some twisted obsession with me. --G2bambino 02:39, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment by involved admin. I'm a regular editor of the article so will take no action but this edit war on passport needs to stop. Now. While, it seems to be quiet now, I guess that most of the protagonists are asleep. You don't need to revert 4 time to get a 3RR block - you need to be revert warring and disrupting an article and that's what's happening now. Please cease now and use the talk page to reach a consensus. If this doesn't happen there will inevitably be sanctions. Spartaz Humbug! 10:10, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, agreed. But there is no reasoning why the other users engaged in the "war" aren't targeted as I am, especially User:TharkunColl. This whole situation is very bizzarre; it was I who twice (1, 2) requested page protection for Passport to stop edit warring, and twice it was declined. --G2bambino 13:43, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
- ...there is no reasoning why the other users engaged in the "war" aren't targeted as I am"...
No reason other than that you broke 3RR (at least arguably) and everyone else has stayed within in (certainly). That you were therefore the one who was reported for a 3RR violation is not "bizzarre". -- Lonewolf BC 19:35, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
- ...there is no reasoning why the other users engaged in the "war" aren't targeted as I am"...
- I'm still going to say your 3RR breach is a bit of a fantasy. Yes, I might have edited the text so as to make it similar to something that was done nearly a year ago (though by my reading I see no real similarity between the edits you highlighted), but I will tell you with all certainty that I did not go digging through year old records to find a version to revert to. In other words: a true 3RR breach would be where someone intentionally reverted three times, not accidentally. If the latter were true, every editor would have to be familiar with every previous version of an article so as to not accidentally perform a revert when trying to make a genuine edit. I reverted twice w/in 24 hrs. I admit that, and I take responsibility for that. But the others were pure coincidence if even "reverts" at all. --G2bambino 00:40, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- Much better, now the article will be more stable (which is paramount for uninvolved readers), thanks Spartaz (for the warnings). GoodDay 19:56, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Notes:
- First four reverts (1 to 4) fall into a 24 hour frame.
- Revert 5 and revert 2 (a total of four in between) are 24 hours and 16 minutes apart (attempt to game the system).
- Revert 6 and revert 3 (another frame with four reverts) are 25 hours and 14 minutes apart (another attempt to game the system)
- Revert 6 and revert 2 (a frame with five reverts) are 26 hours apart (five reverts in 26 hours)
The user has a repeated history of revert warring, violating 3RR and egregious POV pushing. See block log that includes:
- two 24 hour blocks twice for past 3RR violations
- a 31 hour block for "sterile edit warring" over the very same article

Trying to sort out an apparent conflict of names/interests, but no discussion from this anon.--Bookandcoffee 03:27, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
- IP blocked for 24 hours. Circumstances look odd (perhaps two different organizations claiming to be PATCO?) but that's neither here nor there for purposes of 3RR. Raymond Arritt 03:30, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

This user is a single purpose account that has already been blocked twice for edit warring on the John Howard article. User insists on on pushing a POV by synthesizing information from non reliable sources(op-ed pieces). Given that the user has made 192 edits and has been blocked twice due to actions on this particular article, I believe a much longer block, perhaps an indef block, is neccessary.
- I've already blocked User:Lester2 and reverted his last edit (not as an endorsement of that particular version, though). Sarah 05:19, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
