The logical flow of arguments is summary, opposing view, THEN pro view as a counterargument. Here are 3 examples within wikipedia that list the opposing viewpoint right after the summary

Example, #1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campaign_finance_reform

Notice how in the "Campaign Finance Law" article, there is section titled "Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission." In this section, the opposing viewpoint is listed immediately after the summary of the ruling and BEFORE the section listing Senator McCain and Mitch McConnell's pro viewpoints.

Example #2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_penalty

Notice how in the "Brady Bill" article, there is section titled "Movements towards humane execution," followed by a section titled "Abolitionism." Both of these viewpoints sections are opposing viewpoints and are listed BEFORE any pro viewpoint.

Example #3: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euthanasia

Notice how in the "Euthanasia" article, there is a section titled "Euthanasia Debate." The very first sentence in this section is the viewpoint of euthanasia OPPONENT Ezekiel Emanuel. THEN, the viewpoint of Pro-euthanasia activists is listed.

There is clearly a pattern of listing opposing viewpoints first and then the pro viewpoint as a counterargument. THAT is the logical flow for an argument. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Komputerzrkool (talk • contribs) 21:49, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

• Komputerzrkool, I realize posting on these boards can be quite thorny, but you're supposed to provide diffs to the reverts you allege, that the admin checking this can click on. Your list of reverts is just plain text — no diffs. (Not sure why there are two lists, but neither of them has any diffs.) Please check in the edit field of this page to see the code other people have used to create diffs, for instance in Lyonscc's post above. Or see the how-to page Wikipedia:Simple diff and link guide. Please edit your post to contain diffs, so that an admin can work with it. Bishonen | talk 21:59, 16 December 2012 (UTC).

• Note. It's true that OneBucPerson violated 3RR. However, the edit-warring warning came after the fourth revert, and they have not reverted since. In addition, the editor has discussed the content dispute with you on the article talk page and on your talk page. Although I know nothing about the material, their argument seems at least reasonable (I'm not saying who's "right"). I'm not inclined to sanction the editor who has very few edits and a clean log. However, I'd like to ensure that they understand the policy, what they did violated it, and that they must be more careful in the future. To that effect, I will leave a comment on their talk page.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:46, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Comments:
The editor in question, a new WP:SPA appears to be a reincarnation/sock puppet of anon user 99.19.17.4 who tried to make similarly contentious edits, which were reverted, the day prior to the first appearance of Johnnyvictrola. The latter editor then repeatedly tried to remove large swathes of properly sourced content (e.g., a reference and critique by Dr. Harriet; product recall) from the article and inserted spam links (e.g. [25]) to an anonymously registered[26] unreliable advocacy site. The editor has ignored repeated warnings and engaged in a revert war without leaving a single edit summary or talk page comment. A lengthy if not permanent block seems warranted. Rhode Island Red (talk) 15:59, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Blocked – for a period of 24 hours. I am not going to impose an extended block based on the allegation that the IP and the registered account are the same person. The timing is suspicious, but the edits are different. The IP removed large amounts of material, whereas Johnny made relatively selective edits. Perhaps the agendas are the same, I don't know, but the 24-hour block is for the edit-warring only.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:19, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

I disagreed with the user's addition of a LGBT related category to a page. I also started a discussion, stopping short of violating the 3RR. However, another user reverted the editor in question and they reverted back which means they have reverted the same edit 4 times in less then 24 hours. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 22:18, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

• So it's all right for editors to tag team and disrupt an ongoing discussion? All I'm asking is that the category be left in place pending the conclusion of the discussion, which is how I understand WP:BRD is supposed to work. Is that really so much to ask? There's no harm in leaving it. Not to mention that this report is really nothing but the opposing editor looking to game the system to affect the argument. Buck Winston (talk) 22:28, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
• And in looking at the evidence, the 4th edit was done at 22:12, the "notice" was posted to my talk page at 22:16 and this report was filed at 22:18. It seems clear that Intoronto is at the least being disingenuous and at best has deliberately violated procedure. Did I lose track of the number of revisions? Yes. Did any of the "bad behavior" occur after I was "warned"? No. This is bogus from start to finish. Buck Winston (talk) 22:37, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
  • (Non-administrator comment)Regardless, you reverted 3RR. Not knowing policy is NOT an excuse for violating it, although it may be an excuse to look over it this once. You've been editing after that without reverts. I'd say give him a break, as he stopped after the warning. gwickwire^talk_edits 23:08, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

How have I violated procedure? I left a notice as soon as I could then filed the report as you broke the 3RR rule. Personally attacking other users and then brushing of Wikipedia policies is going to do you no favours. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 22:51, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

You didn't violate procedure, but you did report after warning but before another violation. It would have been better to wait until he reverted again after being warned to report. gwickwire^talk_edits 23:08, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Actually, the best way to handle these situations is to issue the edit-warring warning after 3 reverts. Then, if the editor reverts a 4th time, you can file the report. That said, Intoronto, you didn't "violate" anything. As far as I can tell, you were trying to discuss the issue with the editor rather than focusing on reporting. A good thing, really. Buck, your response here is notably subpar, making unfounded accusations rather than taking responsibility for your own misconduct.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:21, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

• Blocked – for a period of 31 hours. After further investigation and thought, I find Buck's claim that he lost track not to be credible. In addition, he left harassing messages related to the cat on other editors' talk pages.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:41, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Comments:
The steady series of reversions by Crock81—here 4 straight reverts of content added by others within 24 hours—is not helping solve any disputes on the article. I place a standard 3rr warning on Crock81's talk page. This was his reaction.[46] Mathsci (talk) 10:06, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Response by Crock81: Mathsci, thank you for pointing to my response to your warning notice, which saves retyping it all here.

A minor point, but I reached consensus of sorts with Maunus, by me adding a wikilink to an article he raised in Talk as an issue, and in that his edit summary said "definition should not be a quote, since the usage is wider than the definition of any specific source - the definition here should encompass all of them", i.e. a wider, all encompassing usage would have to be a definition with a more general context (see below) which is what the definition I provided in fact does by encompassing broad areas of treatment that ought to be in the article: belonging to a certain country or region (literal "indigenousness"), distinctiveness, language, customs and indigenous attitudes. (definitions are always quoted since the wording is all-important).

At the time to the question here You've tried to resolve this edit war on the article talk page, haven't you? The answer was no, because Ubikwit expects editors to suspend life when editing, so after posting to the article Talk page he didn't wait for my reply, despite knowing the text was subject to reversion before, but still reverted! Common sense would have suggested that I would have replied since I had done so previously, had requested he talk to me before doing anything else again, and had endorsed EdJohnston‎'s advice to use the talk page for discussion.

I was reverted by Ubikwit without him attempting to talk on the three previous occasions, after which he delivered a monologue to which I have now responded a link to the discussion here.

Note that I requested Ubikwit to discuss his claims and conflicts of opinion before, and it is as I pointed out to Mathsci the same advice given to him by EdJohnston‎.

The problem is that although Ubikwit loves to 'spar', he seems to loath reading. Notably he hasn't read the paper from which the, in his opinion, all-important "quoted definition" by Coats came from, never mind that it is in fact a paraphrase, which contradicts several sources, including in the article introduction and body, that no such definition in the international law exists! Coats, a professor of law and a direct participant (via Canadian First Nations) in the process by which the claimed 'definition' was produced, could not have arrived at a definition in 1999 after one was rejected in 1987!

Having scored a 'victory' of bringing me to the Edit warring noticeboard, Ubikwit has not done even so much as to read the entire 'new' old introduction which now contradicts itself!

His reversion of my more simpler and inclusive definition therefore contradicts the body of the article, which is a definite no no per WP:STYLE. I again reproduce here advice on article lead that, If its subject is definable, then the first sentence should give a concise definition: where possible, one that puts the article in context for the nonspecialist. Similarly, if the title is a specialised term, provide the context as early as possible.

In fact both conditions are true for the purpose of my reversions.

"indigenousness" constitutes sui generis, i.e a specialised 'term' of identifying groups in law.

The subject is not definable as of current time/date in the international law with which the UN is concerned, and by the consensus of the UN member organisations. I therefore offered a more general and concise definition, quoted in full and referenced to a source generally available to those who may want to consult it. Coates is available only in hard copy, and only after a stack request from a major library.

The paraphrased definition is certainly not representative of the "international or national legislation", which wasn't even being addressed by Coats in the summary of his paper where the 'definition' is derived from.

The attempt to put the 'definition' in context in the introduction presents a context limited to "groups as particularly vulnerable to exploitation, marginalization and oppression by nation states" or "by politically dominant ethnic groups" resulting in "a special set of political rights in accordance with international law...set forth by international organizations" and that "The United Nations have issued a Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples to guide member-state national policies in protecting the collective rights of indigenous peoples to their culture, identity, language, employment, health, education and natural resources."

As I pointed out, "protecting collective rights" is only possible through binding legal mechanisms, which the Declaration is not. Repeating this 100 or 1000 times, or giving it Wikipedia endorsement will not make it more enforceable but only ridicule Wikipedia content for suggesting it.

The intl' organisations not having recognised the supposed 'definition' provided in the lead, where is the mention in the article of the indigenous cultures, self-definitions of identity, indigenous languages, indigenous means of production, indigenous methods for use of traditional medicines and techniques, indigenous transmission of knowledge (traditional education) and management of resources by indigenous communities it is supposed to protect within the context?

In fact even the one aspect of this article that is covered in a 'daughter' article, Traditional knowledge, is still dominated by discussion of legal concepts! It's lack of balance has been noted for quite a while. The entire Indigenous peoples article is dominated by the political-legal perspective as a context.

But, is this the only context for the article? Indigenousness is found discussed in many other disciplines, and multidisciplinary sources. The perception for the reader presented by Wikipedia is that the legal definition of indigenous peoples is the SOLE meaning of indigenousness despite the offered definition's goal to protect all those other facets of indigenousness! Confused?

Ubikwit's sole intention is therefore to include the supposed 'definition' because it is useful in his POV regarding inclusive criteria in the List of indigenous peoples which supports his POV on Jews vs Palestinians. Invited to discuss this criteria in contexts other than legally framed 'definition', he remained silent, and himself engaged in edit warring with User:Evildoer187

Therefore, a) because the subject is not definable, and b) because the context in which the article is being presented ignores many other important perspectives and violates the WP:NPOV, and c) the version offered by Ubikwit is internally contradictory to the lead confusing the reader, I reverted the persistent attempt by Ubikwit to politicise the slant of the article to reflect his beliefs as they pertain to his edit warring in the List of indigenous peoples, in accordance with the editing guidelines and conventions of Wikipedia Style Crock81 (talk) 12:33, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

The massive wall of text written by Crock81 above about the content of the article appears to miss the entire point of this report, which is edit warring. Quite frankly, I don't care what you're edit warring about, I just care whether you're edit warring. The excuse that you are "editing the article" given here is invalid as the edits themselves make it clear that you are reverting. Given that you appear to not have reverted after you were warned about violating the three revert rule, I am inclined to let this slide this time. However, Crock81 should be aware that this courtesy may not be extended in future if you continue to edit war. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 12:42, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Do you care about the motivation for reverting listed in the last point after Therefore? I don't really need your condescension. You think I have nothing better to do than explain myself? I had not reverted because Ubikwit had responded on the talk page, as he was asked to do 'in the first place, and I will see where that brings us. However, as it stands, the article lead content is internally contradictory, and confusing to the reader, while disregarding WP:STYLE. Consider that. I would revert it time and again if only because I care about what I write, not the points I score Crock81 (talk) 13:20, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

You'll be blocked if you do so. Your choice. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 13:22, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

I'd rather be blocked for trying to do something right, than having given into to bullying and let millions read the article as it stands. There must have been a time when you thought this way also a long time ago, perhaps before you became an administrator.Crock81 (talk) 14:30, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Comments:

I have seen that there was a change to the active date so I looked at the Cit's and other relevant information and saw that Snipes was sent to jail for 3 years in 2010 and even he, Snipes, admitted that he would be “away from my profession…” when asked. And such it seems obvious based on the Cits and other information that Snipes is no longer active since 2010 when he was sent to jail. I did post why I made the changes and even asked him to post at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard if he wanted to get another set of eyes on it at the Talk page. He just reversed it and did not give any real sound reason for support. I then showed him where Snipes even admitted he would not be active during his time in jail. I did post on his talk page to not reverse it until it could be worked out. Instead he just reverted/edited it for the 5th time I can see (maybe more only looked at first page) and then posted else where I was a “silly critic”. I actually enjoy some of Snipes movies, my edits are based on facts not any opinion I have of Snipes, mostly good. Sorry to post this here, but since he did not want to use the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard not sure where else to post? Thanks. --Sonic2030 (talk) 12:43, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

• Declined. Warned. To get to 5 reverts, you had to go back to November 29. Unfriend's reverts were fairly well spaced out and I'm not going to block him for what would normally be termed a slow edit war as, in my view, it doesn't rise to that level. However, I will add a few comments about Unfriend's behavior and some of his assertions. Although the article subject is a BLP, Unfriend's assertion that their reverts are exempt pursuant to BLP policy is incorrect. Also, their statement, "I will remove it continuously" on the article talk page is pugnacious and ill-considered. That single statement was the closest I came to considering a block as the statement is on its face disruptive. Finally, although with very few limitations, Unfriend has a right to control their own talk page, their statement that nothing should be posted there is non-collaborative and defeats the purpose of a user talk page. Moreover, labeling warnings placed on their talk page as vandalism is uncivil and not supportable simply because they have a warning on their talk page not to post there. Their edit summary "go the fuck away" is far worse; they are fortunate that it is very old (July 2012), but they should be more temperate in the future.

As for what you should do, Sonic, you might try a WP:RFC to attempt to resolve the content dispute or ask for a third opinion. The topic at BLPN gained no traction.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:20, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Comments:

This is a slow-moving edit war by one user who's been reverting at least 3 people and whose virtually only purpose on Wikipedia has been to introduce the a criticism section on this article. There's a WP:DRN thread at Wikipedia:DRN#Talk:Stack_Exchange_Network. I was asked as an uninvolved admin to look into the matter and left my findings at [68] to which the user has not substantially responded and has twice reverted me since (the first revert was while I was drafting my findings as I said I would in my edit summary) and replied [69]. Sadly I do not think there's much to do in the way of discussing with the user given his unwillingness to reply to the findings in detail and merely revert and revert. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 06:37, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

That is not true, I have stated that WP:DRN should come to conclusion before removing the section. Otherwise the process is invalidated. WP:DRN is still open. Snowwolf is in violation of the process here. Also, your claims are unfounded, people do what they can , and apart from being actively interested on this page, I have contributed to other articles as time hasermitted and donated to wikipedia maybe more than i should. Getting involved is discouraging especially when admins do not admit to the processes and treat wikipedia as their own. BY THE WAY one of the users accepte that he is WP:NPOV and the second accepted that he has acted upon the first user , implying some knowledge, i.e. may not be WP:NPOV. I am still trying to find the third. 80.218.174.215 (talk) 07:18, 17 December 2012 (UTC)Yparjis (talk) 07:20, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Actually, it's only you arguing there for keeping this rather ridicolous section and the fact that there's a DRN thread open does not authorize you to edit war and violate 3RR. Of course you have contributed to other articles, but I'd like to note that in the last 6 months you've done 48 edits, 42 of which related to this Stack Exchange Network matter. I wholly reject your accusations of WP:OWN on my part, this is the first time I've edited the article and I have no stake in the matter, I am merely looking at the facts as I see them, and I've presented a detailed report which you haven't responded to in any significant manner. I went point by point and explained why the section has to go, you just reverted me with a comment saying you won't respond in detail... And lastly, the third user would be me, don't know how you didn't notice that I've reverted you :P Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 07:51, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

The fact that the DRN thread is open doesn't mean we ignore the policies. As for accusing me of having a bias, please see my reply here. Bjelleklang - talk 08:35, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

• Blocked – for a period of 24 hours. The Criticism section appears to have a long and controversial history in the article. In terms of evaluating this report, I went back only to the beginning of December, specifically December 4, when another editor removed the section. Yparjis reverted and restored the section. Counting that as his first revert in a slow edit-war, Yparjis has 8 reverts through the present. Besides Yparjis, the two editors with the most reverts are Bjelleklang (4) and Snowolf (2). Bjelleklang became involved in the beginning of the month (December 6); Snowolf became involved very late in the game as a result of the DRN discussion. One other registered account reverted once removing the section. Effectively, Yparjis has reverted everyone, meaning he appears to have no support for his contributions. Yparjis's contention that the section must remain pending an outcome of DRN is baseless on at least two levels. First, there is no policy in support of it. Second, DRN, even when complete, is not binding.

Although content is generally irrelevant when evaluating an edit-warring report, part of my decision to block Yparjis was content-related. Criticism sections are inherently controversial. In my view, there is a higher threshold for sourcing criticism than for other material. Obviously, if this were a BLP, it would be a policy violation to have unreliably sourced negative material, but even when the subject is a company, we must be extra careful when we include criticism. Therefore, leaving out the criticism section until a consensus is reached is more prudent. I might also add that the current criticism section (I haven't looked at each iteration) is remarkably poorly written, at times virtually unintelligible.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:37, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

"two editors with the most reverts are Bjelleklang (4)" was there a ban initiated on him as well?

"Although content is generally irrelevant when evaluating an edit-warring report, part of my decision to block Yparjis was content-related" is there a policy on blocking based on content. Is that censhorship? Yparjis (talk) 19:02, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

"Criticism sections are inherently controversial" , but allowed right?

"In my view, there is a higher threshold for sourcing criticism than for other material" , implies that you are partially non WP:NPOV on taking the decision to block me. Is that in line with wikipedia policies?

"Obviously, if this were a BLP, it would be a policy violation to have unreliably sourced negative material, but even when the subject is a company, we must be extra careful when we include criticism." Obviously there is no BLP, and obviously prudency is your WP:NPOV. In that sense every controversial article (i.e. what someone does not like) should be left out in case a WP:DRN is filed. Is that indeed a wikipedia policy or is it your own personal way of doing things.

"poorly written, at times virtually unintelligible" did you get of being an administrator by insulting people?

It would be nice if these questions could be responded on a point by point basis. Yparjis (talk) 19:02, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Comments:The user in question has been blanking and redirecting this page until they deem it to be worthy of being an article. Insists on bypassing AfD process instead and has not made any attempt to merge this into the article he is redirecting to. Has blanked it once and reverted it 3x now. As I have no involvement with the actual article outside of revising the blanking/redirecting I think someone else should step in. Thanks Mrfrobinson (talk) 18:52, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

• Well this shows a lack of intelligence..... The very first edit was a clean edit, not a reversion. There have been two subsequent reversions, after Mrfrobinson's actions to revert it to the article, which makes no sense since it is a stub. Both of my reversions came BEFORE his warning and I've not touched the article since. Paralympiakos (talk) 20:13, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

• Blocked – for a period of 24 hours. The first edit was a revert as it undid other editors' contributions (wiping them out, in fact). Therefore, there were three reverts. In addition, the third revert (06:19 on December 17) came after Mrfrobinson's warning (03:03 on December 17). Finally, Paralympiakos has been uncivil here (see above) and on their talk page.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:12, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

The user is repeatedly deleting information which other users contribute. He deletes statements (which are neither malicious nor exagerrated)which are awaiting citable sources (tagged with "needs citation"). Considerable progress has been made in finding these sources. The user also degrades the article by making it difficult for viewers to read (merging paragraphs, deleting bullet points). He also seems eager to delete pictures which are clearly within rights of non-free criterion. Finally, the user's latest contribution use poor English (poor punctuation, grammar) often with a personal, non-neutral touch to it. Thanks for your assistance.

Comments:

Yes, I'm reporting myself. I realized that I broke 3RR in 24 hours and have self-reverted [76]. I've also made kind of a mess at a WP:RFPP request (see there). It leaves the article and the hidden comments (which I had added) in a contradictory state though. The beginning of the article is listed alphabetically and the later part of the article is per the hidden comment and talk page. I'm feeling rather sick after realizing that I've broken 3RR and am self-imposing a 24 hour "block" of sorts where I will refrain from making any edits for at least 24 hours after this report is posted. I know this report is rather unusual, but I feel it is a "the right thing to do" and admins are held to a higher standard. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 00:58, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

• Declined. A block at this point would be inappropriately punitive, and I would decline this report regardless of "who" you are. Admins are, by policy, held to higher standards in certain areas, but admins are also editors and can and do make mistakes. The important thing is what you do after you make a mistake. I don't see how you could have done any more. When you come back from your self-imposed "block", if someone hasn't already done so, you might want to clean the article up so it's no longer in a "contradictory state", without imposing your own content version (I haven't looked at the content dispute). Don't feel "sick"; rest up (breaks are good for all of us) and be more careful in the future.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:24, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Adding my two cents here... I'm glad this EWN report was filed, I was going to file it myself had I not seen it filed already. There's strong evidence of a behavior issue with User:Srisharmaa's editing. Despite multiple attempts by several editors over a period of time to get Srisharmaa to pay attention to Wikipedia's sourcing guidelines and requirements: [77] [78] [79] [80] the editor continues to add or restore inappropriately sourced content and/or content wildly out of proportion to keep the article in compliance with WP:NPOV, WP:UNDUE in particular: [81] [82] [83]. This morning's "spamming" session by this editor added over two dozen see-also links back to A2 milk to a wide variety of articles, mostly inappropriate. Messages left at the editor's User Talk page raising concerns end up getting removed without comment. I agree that if this latest warning left at the editor's User Talk page doesn't result in the needed behavior change, sanctions would be appropriate. Zad68 21:54, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

No Brand Promotion intended:I would like to inform that "A2 milk" is not a brand to promote.It's a kind of milk which is genetically different from A1 milk.I am also against any Brand promotion in Wikipedia such as "a2 milk brand of a2 Corporation".In the article's Talk page I have discussed this in detail. I have urged to create a new article named "A2 milk brand" if it is necessary(as I could see some Promotions of "a2 corporation" which seems to promote "A2 MILK TYPE" with its milk brand called "a2 milk").

I have not added "See Also" pages which are not related to milk.I think it is sensible to do so,so that readers may be aware of A2 milk.So,removing "A2 milk" from "See Also" in milk-related articles without valid reasons doesn't make sense.I hope the editor who reverted such edits restores the "See Also" pages in the articles.Giving reasons regarding how it is inappropriate to add such "see also" pages in milk-related articles would be appreciated.Srisharmaa (talk) 14:31, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Comments:
Editor told me I'm too new to complex articles, implying that shouldn't contribute meaningful information to Wikipedia. I'm just trying to contribute so that a consensus could be reached (even though already five editors are in favor of splitting article). But the editor wages WP:OWN. Chihciboy (talk) 19:47, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Editor has made minimal effort to discuss, I haven't violated 3RR (one cited revert is a self revert) and editor by his own admission doesn't know how to independently split article he attempted to split during an ongoing discussion and against WP:SIZERULE. His comment above also makes clear he doesn't understand consensus, and this filing, edit warring. He is a new editor who appears to lack understanding of many of the policies surrounding this split, thus my comment, which he has rather badly misrepresented. Drmargi (talk) 19:55, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

• Note. Although the diffs are not listed properly, when one looks at the history of the main episodes article and the season 1 article, both Chihciboy and Drmargi are edit-warring, and I'm tempted to block them both. I don't want to hear anything about WP:SIZERULE. I want to hear from Drmargi as to why she keeps redirecting the season 1 article, removing the split tag, and adding back the material to the episodes article, despite the fact that there is an ongoing discussion on the article talk page with no consensus as to what should be done. The removal of the tag is the most serious problem. A few more comments. SIZERULE is a guideline, not a policy. Chihciboy did not "badly misrepresent" Drmargi's comment ("You are too new an editor to be making edit decisions, much less edits this complex"), just the inference he drew from it.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:55, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

That will require a fairly lengthy response, and I'm editing on an iPad at the moment. I'll be in transit for the next three hours minimum, then will respond when I can access a keyboard. Drmargi (talk) 21:22, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Home now, and after a couple hours' driving and thinking time, I find I'm feeling more than a little uncomfortable with Bbb23's comments; actually, I feel put on the defensive, and sense not assumption of good faith on his part. He want to know why I did what I did, but in a manner that cuts off what I might potentially have said and suggests some pre-dispositon on his part. Frankly, given that, I'm tempted to request another, more impartial admin review this case.

That said, all I was doing was returning the articles to status quo, per WP:BRD, something I've seen any number of editors do in similar circumstances. Given the tag Chichiboy should have entered the discussion rather than attempt to split the article yet again; he failed to do so, so I reverted, period. He's a new editor, and as novices do, he was discussing via edit summary; a couple reverts got his attention, and he made a cursory attempt at discussion before rushing over here in an attempt to get his own way rather than to work with other editors toward consensus. I'm concerned that his rush to file here well in advance of any 3RR violation and in the presence of problematic editing of his own merits so little comment.

I do have to own to one mistake. I removed the tag (and I believe I've only removed it once) because I felt that it was pointy editing at the time it was added, and was creating more trouble than it solved. After a few minutes, I had a re-think, realized I'd made a poor decision, and reverted the edit, intending to go back to the last version with the tag. It wasn't that I looked at what I actually did a few minutes ago that I saw I didn't go back far enough. It can be tricky to see the full contents of the edit window on an iPad when the lower third of the screen is overlapping keyboard, and I hit the wrong radio button. So hands up there, I'll own to that mistake, but my intentions were good.

If Chichiboy wants to contribute to the reaching of consensus, he needs to act in a way that shows he is. Thus far his actions have been entirely independent of the ongoing discussion, save one sentence. I have yet to see any content in the various attempts at splitting (and I'm not the only one who has reverted them, I might add) other than regurgitation, generally word-for-word, of what's already in the main article. I hope that, somewhere along the line, some editor can present an argument for splitting a comparatively small article other than "but everyone does it!". My mother always had wise words about noses, faces and doing what everyone else does. --Drmargi (talk) 01:58, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

WP:BRD is not an exemption from edit-warring. Given what you said about the tag, why haven't you restored it?--Bbb23 (talk) 23:12, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

DId I say it was? I didn't restore the tag because this was ongoing, which I thought was protocol based on my reading of past cases, nothing more. I checked this numerous times, saw no response from you, and thought it best to leave well enough alone until you responded. A little WP:AGF wouldn't come amiss, particularly from an admin. --Drmargi (talk) 08:11, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

• Result: No action for now, since the edit war has not continued since 16 December. Both parties are advised not to revert again until the discussion at Talk:List of Person of Interest episodes#Split to season article has found an answer. If no consensus can be reached there, consider other steps of WP:Dispute resolution. You might get some advice from the editors listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject American television/Participants.

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: [link] User_talk:Ace_Mathias

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [diff] New account, has been warned on talk by three different editors (one different from the three reverting changes in article): User_talk:Ace_Mathias

Comments:

Normally, I wouldn't jump on a new user so fast, but this is a situation where we may have an account created solely for disruption. This editor managed to quickly figure out ref tags and feedback, may be a sock, but no idea who, so not enough evidence for an SPI. Montanabw^(talk) 22:18, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

He's a sock of User:KennethLMathias, at least. The old account was last used in October, though, and has no outstanding blocks or even warnings, so I'm not sure the sockpuppetry angle is really a problem; could be that he just forgot his password and created a new account or something. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 14:48, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

As long as this particular problem stops and doesn't start up again at the article in question or elsewhere, I'll be satisfied. Montanabw^(talk) 19:54, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

• Warned. I asked the editor to promise not to edit the article for at least 7 days to avoid a block. They did not respond. I'm assuming they saw it because they made one contribution after I posted it. However, based on your statement, Montanabw, I am going to close this and add a warning to my offer as they haven't edited the article and they appear to be withdrawing from the fray ("You're the boss"). Please reopen this report or notify me on my talk page if they edit the article again.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:18, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Blocked – for a period of 48 hours. Rracecarr, thank you for protecting the article. However, a tip for the future. The edit-warring warning should normally be given after the editor has reverted three times. The notification of this report is not a substitute for that. The idea is to prevent the 3RR breach before it happens. This particular case has unusual features because of the repeated copyright violations in addition to the edit-warring, and the probability that the user, a WP:SPA, is connected to the company ("this user has been vandalizing our site").--Bbb23 (talk) 20:49, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

This editor added some text yesterday. One editor (96.49.65.5) reverted the addition. Then the original editor re-added the text. Then a second, different editor (Eaglestorm) removed it. Then the original editor re-added a second time. I then removed it again and advised the editor to take it to the talk page. He ignored that and just re-added - for the third time. So I reverted that and posted a 3RR warning, again advising that he take it to the talk page.

This topic concerns a block evasion and not specifically a case of edit warring. I posted it here since there's no section for obvious block evasions, i.e., where a sockpuppet investigation is not necessary.

The user Æðð (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is evading his block by editing through an IP (174.48.32.232 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)) and is again engaging in semi-vandal editing involving edit warring. This comment explicitly confirms his usage of the IP address. Please, take actions to prevent him from disrupting the project. --glossologist (talk) 21:56, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

There has been no attempt to circumvent the ban, nor edit war - you have no case to make for either claim which is why you won't provide any specific examples of this "vandalism." The example you're providing is of the single instance in which I contributed to the same page with both accounts, and I immediately noted the error.

You've made no attempt to bring your edits up for discussion on the talk page, because you know they're tendentious and POV. This is why you aren't providing the contributions that led to this conflict.--174.48.32.232 (talk) 23:35, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

See WP:EVASION and WP:ILLEGIT. Your account has been blocked because of edit warring and, as you've continued to make controversial edits (e.g. edit warring [144]) by using IP before your block has ended, the block can be reinstated.

As for the alleged vandalism, this massive deletion of the cited material without discussing it at the talk page by only giving brief comments in the edit summary can be arguably qualified as vandalism on the grounds of the personal bias, although I didn't say it was vandalism, I mentioned "semi-vandal editing". Messages and comments from other users note to the persistence of such behaviour.

Also, you should remember that WP:Consensus obliges you to start a discussion at the article talk page if you get reverted after you make a new edit to a consensus version. --glossologist (talk) 00:21, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

Comments:
This editor seems to have a history of reverting edits with his own unsourced changes. This editor has posted comments directly to the page itself. I assumed he was trying to communicate in good faith and tried responding there in addition to appropriate channels (article's talk page and editor's talk page). The editor simply removed my comment and reverted again. DR04 (talk) 22:35, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

Note. @DR04, you did everything right except you reverted more than three times. I can't ignore that, block the IP and not block you, even though the IP's behavior is clearly more disruptive. So, here's what I propose: (1) no blocks, (2) I'm going to edit the article myself (sigh) to restore the 241 stations and include a source (you forgot to include a full reference, so it didn't work), and (3) post a warning on the IP's talk page that they cannot revert without discussion and consensus or they will be blocked. If for some reason, they ignore my warning, do NOT revert the edit. In fact, you should stay clear of the article for at least a day because of your previous reverts.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:03, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining this Bbb23. What seems frustrating here is that sometimes there is too much of a focus on policy rather than what's good for the encyclopedia. I wouldn't consider my edits less disruptive than his; clearly my edits weren't disruptive at all (albeit I screwed up the ref). My fourth revert was an assumption of good faith in that the user behind the IP didn't know how to communicate using talk pages, etc. But it got me in trouble due to policy. This entire process has been overwhelmingly frustrating and bureaucratic considering the user behind the IP is showing zero good faith and has a track record of the same. It's wasted enough of my and your time. Such nonsense has been a disincentive for me to edit in the past. And it hurts the encyclopedia. But I understand you only have good intentions and appreciate your assistance here. Don't worry, I'll steer clear for probably more than a day. Ugh. DR04 (talk) 01:32, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

I understand your frustration. In the future, though, just warn the editor after they've hit 3 reverts, and report them if they revert yet again. It isn't the end of the world if the article has the wrong number of stations for a while. Don't get caught up in the perceived unfairness. It'll just raise your stress levels. Go edit another article. In the end, it should come out all right, and you won't have to be concerned about being sanctioned needlessly. Wikipedia needs good editors, but you need to find a way not to let it get to you when these things happen. I know it isn't easy sometimes.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:40, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

I don't know why you've just got a list of my edits there. This is an edit warring board. I did two reverts on 22 December [145] [146] then one change on 24 December [147] because no appropriate source had been provided in order to remove the word "supporters" since the 22nd and then one revert on 24 December [148].

Diff #8 is a self-revert. Diff #9 is removing an HTML comment. This is beginning to look sorta flimsy. Belchfire-TALK 04:24, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

As I see it, edits 3 and 4 constitute a single revert; while 5, 6 and 10 are also reverts - the rest are not reverts. Hence, there are no more than 3 reverts in a single 24-hour period, and no violation of 3RR. StAnselm (talk) 06:24, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

3, 4 and 5 are from 22 December and 6, 10 are from 24 December so it's only 3 reverts over 22 - 24 of December. Zaalbar (talk) 12:25, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

The amount of battling in the article is disruptive. Zaalbar has been worse than others, but other editors should be careful. BTW, if you want my count, I'm excluding everything that happened before December 24 for the purpose of analyzing 3RR only, Zaalbar reverted 4x:

1. 00:18
2. two consecutive edits at 02:37 and 02:38
3. 3:12
4. 3:46

How am I supposed to respond to the comment left for me by ReformedArsenal? How is he supposed to respond to me? Can any handful of editors censor a minority just by declaring a discussion "closed" and filing a grievance if he tries to unclose it? I don't get it. Editors who don't think the discussion is interesting can simply ignore it. Why the censorship? I haven't insulted or threatened anyone (unlike Ian T.), although I've gotten a bit terse as my concerns are dismissed with "We've discussed this before and decided you're wrong." Humanpublic (talk) 21:22, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

The same answers have been presented to your same questions over and over and over. Your refusal to accept reliable sources as such (the core of your argument) is nothing but tendentious. Your refusal to hear others out is nothing but disruptive. Your constant reopening is edit warring. Also, please provide evidence of me insulting you, because unevidenced accusations amount to personal attacks. Ian.thomson (talk) 21:27, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

The topic, at the time you and History2007 tried to block it, was about the definition of "peer-review". I haven't refused to accept any sources, I've pointed out they aren't conclusive. All this amounts to you trying to block a discussion you don't like. There is nothing disruptive about a discussion of the term "peer-review", or a comparison of this debate to evolution. If it has been settled to your satisfaction, then it doesn't interest you and you can spend time elsewhere. There is no reason to interfere with someone else's discussion. Humanpublic (talk) 21:37, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

That has been addressed over and over in the past as well, in discussions you've been linked to before. As has been pointed out before (not that you'll listen this time either) WP:RS does not require only peer-reviewed sources, but accepts other academic works and even textbooks. Ian.thomson (talk) 21:44, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

I didn't say only peer-reviewed sources are allowed. I asked why there aren't any, which led to a discussion of what is peer-reviewed. As for your insults, I found these comments insulting:

"it's become nothing but mantra chanting for your useless deaf ears" and "no, you are being disruptive just because you can't accept that no one is bowing to your POV-pushing." Humanpublic (talk) 21:49, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

If you find my descriptions of your behavior insulting, you might want to reconsider your behavior. Have you even considered what it means that pretty much everyone has been asking you to go back and read past discussions, and that multiple and more experienced editors have closed the discussion and asked you to stop? Has it occurred to you that the guidelines and policies being cited regarding your behavior means you are behaving inappropriately? Have you even considered trying to be cooperative? Ian.thomson (talk) 21:53, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

The 1st edit in that list is 3 days old. For the 2nd (today), two editors had responded to me, and then the discussion was "closed." I just wanted to reply to what they said to me. One of them was History2007, who directed comments at me and then promptly announced the discussion should be closed and I should be blocked for, basically, replying to the comments he addressed at me. Humanpublic (talk) 21:57, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Stop what? Saying that a book review is not a peer-review, when somebody doesn't know the difference? Saying that this debate differs from the debate on evolution by lacking peer review and polls? Using the Talk page to talk about my opinion, mostly in response to what others are saying? Or just stop saying those things in this one thread? Do you think these subjects won't come up again? I didn't even initiate this thread. Nor did I initiate the one before it (now archived). This issue has come up in 3 separate threads just in the few months I've been interested in the page. Is Ian T. going to try and shut it down every single time somebody brings it up? Humanpublic (talk) 22:29, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

All of that, basically. Discussions about the nature of sources in general go to WP:RS and such. Your opinion is irrelevant and doesn't belong per WP:FORUM. Saying that your point is different, see WP:DEADHORSE. For "it'll come up again," see WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 22:34, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

I have no idea what you're talking about. The FORUM link you gave is about original research, which has nothing to do with anything here. My opinion is not irrelevant: I'm an editor discussing the article, and that's what Talk pages are for. Your other links don't make any sense, and mostly apply to editing articles, not merely discussing views on the Talk page. I've never even edited the actual article. Doesn't it strike you as a bit odd for editors to direct comments at me, and threaten me with blocks for wanting to respond? If that's my choice, I'll be blocked. I can live without this site. Humanpublic (talk) 22:41, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

We've brought up WP:STICK and WP:IDHT repeatedly, and he has rejected those, as well as WP:3RR. There's also been RSN discussion that he took part in and rejected the consensus of. Ian.thomson (talk) 22:40, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

I know. I'm just throwing it in one last time. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 22:41, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

There is no consensus in that Talk page discussion. It does prove the point that Ian T. is insulting and disruptive: "Take your WP:BATTELGROUND attitude and bigoted and unfounded accusations of bias elsewhere, you blind fool. Many of the people involved in this discussion are not Christian, and those who actually look at the sources are not siding with you in your crusade. That you assume that everyone not siding with you is a Christian only shows you're too much of a crusading bigot to contribute anything worthwhile. Ian.thomson (talk) 01:17, 30 September 2012 (UTC)"

He has cnnsistenly tried to shut down a discussion he doesn't like, with insults and archiving ongoing discussions.Humanpublic (talk) 22:48, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

So bottom line is, you vow to continue? (that's a yes-or-no question) Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 22:50, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Per this (not sure why it was removed), I think that's a safe assumption. Ian.thomson (talk) 22:52, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Vow to continue what? Pointing out the fact that "book review" and "peer-review" have different meanings? Sure. It's a fact. Expressing the opinion the sources we currently have don't support the article as it currently stands? Sure, that's my opinion. It's also the opinion of several other editors, such as the one who started the thread being censored, and the one (Martin) who started the other thread Ian T. mentioned. Counting me, that's three editors in a discussion of about seven people on this issue. As far as I can tell, Ian is the only one resorting to insults, and History2007's tactic of responding to me and then demanding the discussion be closed deserves no respect. I won't respond here again. Humanpublic (talk) 23:24, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

That's a yes. Should be more than enough WP:ROPE by now. Ian.thomson (talk) 23:28, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

• Warned. Too much heat here. The edit that was removed (Ian refers to above) has been restored - it should not have been removed. Humanpublic's behavior has been disruptive and they have clearly edit-warred. That said, there's been no attempt by Humanpublic to edit the article in almost 24 hours. The material at issue has been archived (rather than just collapsed), and to sanction Humanpublic now would be punitive. I have, however, warned the editor about future conduct.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:56, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [171]

Comments: User has ignored comments by both myself and editor Daniel J Leivick that "former white collar criminal" is poor grammar. This appears to be part of a campaign to downplay Belfort's criminal history, given a number of hagiographic edits. User Copycat2012, and their previous ID Reaction93, have made no edits to any other pages and will not sign their posts.Splorksplorksplorksplork (talk) 01:11, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

• Note. This is a content dispute that's more about how to describe the subject than it is about grammar. There was no breach of 3RR. The edit-warring is stale (4 days ago). I would simply close the report except for the fact that Copycat is a new account created by the same person who created Reaction93. Although Copycat admits they are the same, they have not complied with WP:DG, and they were blocked in the past as Reaction93 related to this article. At this point, I'd like to hear from Copycat before making any final decision. That said, any other admin is free to do whatever they want without waiting for me or consulting with me.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:52, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

It's only stale because I have been trying to engage Copycat2012 in constructive dialogue rather than simply reverting again. However they seem unwilling to discuss the issue in rational terms. Splorksplorksplorksplork (talk) 23:49, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Note. I have indefinitely blocked Copycat2012 for making a legal threat. Copycat also reverted on the article. Rather than revert back, I (reluctantly) edited the article to eliminate the "former" characterization as an issue. Hopefully my edit will put that issue to rest. That said, I don't intend to get involved in a dispute about it. If it's not satisfactory to other editors, they can work it out themselves.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:05, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

HIs response is to basically insult me, claim superiority and general indicated that all he will do is edit war. Then makes another edit that he knows is patronising. Spshu (talk) 00:06, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

As noted on the talk page, your bid to add a country infobox, including details of its "government", to a page about a portfolio of royal estates scattered across the UK is bizarre and totally incorrect. Once I reverted your addition you should have discussed it on the talk page if you were really convinced you had a point. Although you have now posted there a couple of times, you have offered absolutely zero evidence to support your contention that the duchy is a country or territorial unit of the UK (here's a clue: you won't find any) or even that you know what you are talking about when it comes to UK administrative or political affairs. Yes, I have questioned your knowledge in that area, with legitimate reason, and am doing it again now; you have now elected to explicitly call me a "maniac", so I suggest you descend from your high horse. While we both might be edit-warring, it's rather obvious I would guess to most observers who is trying to maintain the accuracy and integrity of info on Wikipedia here. N-HH talk/edits 09:56, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, but you prove my point in "so I suggest you descend from your high horse." No it is not clear who is "trying to maintain the accuracy and intergrity of info on Wikipedia here." No, it is you on the high horse with your condesending position. Just because I try not proliferate additional infoboxes by not creating new ones for one offs and use existing infoboxes does not mean that effects the "accuracy and integerity of info on Wikipedia here." The infoboxes are total background stuff that no reader need deal with. Spshu (talk) 22:17, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

User:Yworo in sequence unalterable the article László Kovács (writer) with false informatioan that Kovács is Hungarian writer, but do not write anything in Hungarian only in Slovene (Prekmurian). Only his citizenship is Hungarian, himself declare a Slovene. Imre Kertész also lived in Germany, but Hungarian writer, in Hungarian wrote his works. Doncsecz^talk 18:28, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

See WP:OPENPARA. Biographical subjects are described using the country of which they are a citizen, not by their ethnicity. If the are a writer who writes in a specific language, then we also describe that. Yworo (talk) 18:42, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Yworo is correct. Doncecz, if you continue to edit against en:Wikipedia policy, you will be blocked. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 18:45, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

I asked László Kovács, namely was my teacher: László Kovács calls for the use of Slovene and not Hungarian, since he is Slovene writer, author of the Slovene literature and not the Hungarian. The Hungarian laws recognized 13 minoritys in Hungarian with fundamental rights, therefore despite the citizenship its definition is not Hungarian. Doncsecz^talk 18:48, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

And this is English Wikipedia, and it is our policy to make clear the citizenship of the subject first thing in the lead sentence. If he doesn't like to be Hungarian, why is he still a Hungarian citizen? Yworo (talk) 18:57, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

But the English wikipedia obviously respects fundamental rights: the Slovene intellectuals of Hungary wish the Slovene denomination. Doncsecz^talk 19:04, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Comment Although not directly relating to this page, it should be noticed that this user on two different talk pages I am aware of (Talk:World War Z (film) and Talk:Rockstar Games) is constantly trying to impose his views on editors/article page without thought for previously established consensus or evidence/reasons provided by other editors. On this version of his talk page it specifically says that he is on English Wikipedia to "Change nationality" MisterShiney ✉ 22:07, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

I agree with you; it's not really relevant. Mostly what I get out of the user's comments is that his English is very poor, making it hard to interpret just about anything he says.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:20, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Fair enough, I was just wanting admins to be aware of his disruptive editing. MisterShiney ✉ 22:26, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

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

Comments:
JGVR is absolutely refusing to allow an inline reference, on the grounds that the reference belongs in a different article. Here is a quote from what the very experienced editor User:Voceditenore wrote on the talk page: "JCVR once again removed the image caption and the reference. The reference is however valuable for referencing and expanding the entire article. I re-added as an inline citation in the text. He's removed it from there as well with the edit summary: "he has gobs of links in his article they will see it when you add it to his article" which is frankly absurd. This article currently lacks a single reference for the text portion. The referenced book isn't simply about a single member of the family. It is about the entire family with valuable information on the origin of the name and the early history of the family. No doubt, JCVR will continue to edit war to remove it. Thus, I am giving up on any further attempts to improve this article. He has made it quite clear that he has no understanding of collegiate editing, no understanding of Wikipedia's requirements in terms of style, content, and referencing, and no intention to let anyone touch "his" article" See the talk page for many examples of Voceditenore attempting to reason with JCVR, who never addresses head on the points VdT makes. IMO the time has come for an admin to explain to JGVR what VdT has failed to make JGVR, despite many polite and well reasoned efforts. Maybe there is a COI connection between the user and the warred-over page, which might explain the problems taking an objective view on this. almost-instinct 09:02, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Only one problem remains... those of us that were involved have come to terms and have had this resolved over 1/2 a day ago

JGVR (talk) 09:27, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Actually, that's not true, JCVR. As I said at Talk:Van Rensselaer (surname), I am and another editor are in complete disagreement with you about your refusal to "allow" a highly pertinent and necessary inline citation to an unreferenced article, but you have made it clear that you will continue edit warring to remove it and for entirely spurious reasons. Thus, I have decided not to touch that article again. That is not "coming to terms" or "resolved" at all. Do you plan to revert the next editor who tries to add it? Voceditenore (talk) 13:18, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

who all agreed in wiping out the entire page (as some would consider defacing) and replace it with the contents of the talk page? or was that the same person who is making assertions with no citations about how suddenly this: Van_(Dutch)#Collation_and_capitalisation No longer applies in America. I am supposed to sit and let such absurdities stay up?

These five edits occurred over less than three hours. Four of the five reverts were achieved by pressing the 'undo' link, the other was a manual removal of a reference; all were done without any discussion beyond the edit summary. Note that the second revert incorrectly changed the cause of death, the third revert removed a source because there were too many, and the fourth removed a source that I was only adding in the technical sense, in that the reference was in the article when I started my edit and disappeared only during an edit conflict.

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: [243] (which was reverted within one minute)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: I posted a message about reverting my edit on Bidgee's user talk page; it was removed four minutes later with the summary "How about look at your own actions before questioning others?"

Comments:

I realise that these reversions do not all relate to the same text and that, followiung the death of Greig, there are many editors making changes to the article. My main concern is not the technical 3RR violation but rather with Bidgee's attitude to other editors. My edit removed a duplicate reference from the article, altered a cite web reference to cite news for a newspaper article, and added a cross-ref to the lede, plus some minor copy editing. I added no reference, just keeping those that were in the article when I began my edit (one disappeared during my editing in an edit conflict). It was reverted because of a US date format, re-adding to the article an incorrect spelling of Greig. Bidgee's response to my comment on his or her talk page indicated a lack of willingness to discuss any concern. This led me to investigate Bidgee's edit history, where I found:

• by my count, 34 of Bidgee's previous 50 edits were reverts of some sort, and looking further back Bidgee appears to have a habit of reverting entire edits rather than editing a part with which she or he disagrees
• Bidgee's block log includes blocks in 2012 for 3RR violations June 29) and edit warring (November 5) - the second block was undone after review
• A block in December 2010 was for "Disruptive editing: warned regarding use of reverts, continued to do so"

I conclude that Bidgee has a history of reverting too readily, and I am hoping that an administrator might try to engage with her or him to act in a more collegial manner. The revert of my talk page post (which I admit might have been more elegantly expressed) indicates that an approach from me would likely be counter-productive. I do not ask for a block, though I believe 3RR has been broken, but for Bidgee to be less quick to hit undo and more willing to discuss. Of course, I am open to comments / criticisms of my own actions. EdChem (talk) 11:30, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

• Not blocked Bidgee technically violated 3RR, but this isn't the kind of problem that the rule or the prohibition of edit-warring was designed to prevent. I've been on the receiving end of someone who reverts an entire edit when they only have a problem with one part, but these are some minor manifestations of that issue that are more carelessness than intentional disregard. You don't exactly help your case either when you include in your report fairly uncontestable reverts, like putting the date format in line with our manual of style. So, in short, has he been doing a lot of reverting? Yes. Has he been reverting too broadly? Probably. Is this disruptive? Probably not. Should he be blocked? No. -- tariqabjotu 15:35, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

User DemirBajraktarevic is constantly removing refs as he don't likes this info. He called my editing "lying" (see talk page). Also, I wrote this article months ago, and I added that Brkić (the guy in the article) is an atheist, thoguh I removed this info as I have no proper source (I assumed his an atheist since he was a communist, but it is said that for religon one needs to have a source to add it in an infobox). Bajraktarevic once again reverted me for no good reason. Now, he was reverting my edits on this page for days (see history). I reported him few times and I was myself blocked as well (since I made two revers also previously). Now, I won't revert him, but insted I expect from him to revert himself, as there is no good reason for him to remove sourced info (there are 4 refs for this info). --Wüstenfuchs 12:01, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Comments:

Did you two tried to talk, for example? Some of his reverts are well founded, you cannot add this without sources, that is obvious. You MUST use sources for this, or you both may be blocked (again) for edit warring in ARBMAC area. I urge you to start talking, and stop writing on AN/I... --WhiteWriter^speaks 12:07, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

WW, that's completely other article. I only forgot to source it, I later did so. Let's keep discussion on this issue only. --Wüstenfuchs 14:38, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

• Page protected. Both of you were blocked (by me) for one week for edit-warring on this article, among other things. Now you (Wustenfuchs) come back first and make two consecutive edits, essentially restoring the article to the way you wanted it (not to mention the evasion during the block). Demir reverts you, not twice but only once in two consecutive edits, just as you did. And now you come here because you expect Demir to revert himself? And where is the lying comment? Putting aside the fact that you've included no diffs for this report, at least provide a diff when you accuse another editor of calling you a liar. I've protected the article for one week. There's virtually no activity on the article except the two of you. Think of it as protecting you from yourselves. If you can't work out your differences, I suggest that both of you walk away from the article and let others improve it.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:46, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Relevant discussions may be found here [253] and here [254]. Darkness Shines and myself also have a history. The last time, it was I who complained that he had been edit warring [255]. The resolution was that we'd both exhibited such behavior, which I accepted. This time, there is a discussion context. I look forward to your advice on how i should conduct myself in such situations in the future. Thanks! Aminul802 (talk) 15:54, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

This is the previous EW report.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:01, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

This situation could have been averted if Darknessshines had removed only the name of a person instead of simply (and repeatedly) reverting Aminul's entire addition to the article; here's how things stand currently, and this is how Darknessshines could have dealt with the BLP angle. There's been a lack of constructive engagement all-round here. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 17:08, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

You forget I also thought there was a linkvio issue as well as BLP concerns. Please do not put this guys constant refusal to listen to me back onto me. I have tried repeatedly to discuss issues with him and get brushed off. I am now having to rewrite that bloody article in userspace so it at least has a semblance of NPOV and accuracy in it. Burt hell, just blame me for it. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:18, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

That's an unfair characterization. I've not been brushing you off. I've been asking for further evidence every time that something has been disputed, whether in various talk pages, or edit summaries. I've frequently felt brushed off by you, when you refuse respond to my calls to discuss contentious topics. I think if you're having to rewrite the article in your own talk page, it will only display the POV that I consider you to have, and not an NPOV that is portrayed in respectable international media--something you can only achieve if you make an effort to ignore some of the latest developments. I think it's far more constructive for us both to work on the current article, as we will balance each other out when either one of us inadvertently does not contribute from an NPOV. Aminul802 (talk) 17:33, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Rubbish, I told you when you first started editing what the estimate for rape victims are as Bergman got it so wrong, a few weeks ago you added 25k rape victims to the article again. You ignore everything I tell you. Your entire approach is to put as much negative info in the lede as possible. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:39, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

I also told you about the linkvios[256], yet you kept restoring them. So do not even try to say you do not brush me off. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:42, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

• Note. Much as I'm sure we're all vastly entertained by this vitriol, are the parties satisfied with the current state of the article? So much is mixed up in this (present and past) it's hard to sort out, but it appears that Aminul has restored the quote from the FP article, not named the ambassador, and not linked to the cable itself. If that's not acceptable to everyone, my inclination is to lock the article.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:48, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Tell me, are you satisfied with the state of that article? It's an embarrassment. But I am not touching it, as I said I am rewriting it. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:51, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Please, DS, I'm not talking about the entire article, just the latest E-W dispute.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:05, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Now neutral of you I told you, I am not touching it for now so you need not lock it if that is what is worrying you. Darkness Shines (talk) 18:12, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

• Warned. The current dispute is apparently over. Rather than meting out arguably punitive blocks for edit-warring, this is a warning to both editors that future edit-warring, even if it doesn't rise to the level of a breach of WP:3RR, may be met with a block without notice.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:09, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Dear All, DS has taken it upon himself the rewrite the article. I've been away, so i wasn't able to comment here that the previous state of the article was much more to my liking. I have noted what I think of DS' unilateral rewrite here: [257]. Is it okay for me to undo his rewrite and return to the older article so that we may simply work on improving that? I'm sorry that this is constantly returning here. I would like your advice on how I should proceed. Many thanks! Aminul802 (talk) 01:00, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: 15:41, December 29, 2012

Comments: No violation of 3rr (or close). However, the user has a history of edit warring, and is now doing so across two articles with abrasive edit summaries which violate NPA. In doing so, he's trying to force through gross violations of BLP (see this revert) without sources. His last revert took place some time after he was warned for EW. Given the comments he's made, I think he's likely to continue, and it seems prudent for another admin to step in. A short block or another warning/talk would be helpful.   — Jess· Δ♥ 22:51, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

User first came with a hateful post [286]. Then I forced him to the talkpage, but after each time he posts there he thinks he now has the right to revert again. He does not understand the core Wikipedia principle of consensus. Debresser (talk) 18:13, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

This is not correct. I removed information which clearly is not allowed by policy of BLP and VERIFY and also there was not ever any consensus that I can see to leave it there. As I explain on the article talk section, the BLP says very clearly that this type of information must be with a strong source or else should be removed which is what I have done.--194.146.213.16 (talk) 18:18, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

• Result: Both the IP and Debresser are warned not to revert again until a consensus is found about the sources. The dispute is about whether *other rabbis* besides Elazar Schach placed a ban on Steinsaltz's works in 1989. The IP does not deny that Schach condemned the translation but thinks it is a BLP violation to name the other rabbis as sharing his view. I have the article from the "Printing the Talmud" work, page 137, that clearly makes this statement about a whole group of rabbis including Schach and says that the information comes from the English edition of Yated Ne'eman, August 18, 1989, which is a Haredi newspaper. As a temporary matter, the Steinsaltz-ban information could be restored about Schach and you could leave out the other rabbis until an opinion about the sourcing is found at some place like WP:RS/N or WP:BLP/N. Perhaps someone can get hold of the 1989 article in Yated Ne'eman. EdJohnston (talk) 04:16, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Thank you EdJohnston for reviewing this complaint. I will post your conclusion on the talkpage. May I say I am a bit surprised to see that you decided to address the content issue rather than the behavioral one. I was under the impression that this noticeboard functions for the latter, that is the implementation of the 3RR and other edit war rules. Debresser (talk) 08:04, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

The IP editor was claiming a BLP justification, based on the article 'defaming' the rabbis other than Schach for saying that they banned Steinsaltz's work. The Yated Ne'eman issue is said to contain actual letters from the other rabbis, so my guess is that the IP's argument will collapse after the complete sources are found.

The article history shows that both parties are guilty, and sure enough... the other party has also been warned: [297]

I plead no contest to breaking the rules, too, and will accept a temp ban if admins believe it is warranted. I brought up the edit issue at Wikipedia:Fringe theories/Noticeboard#Mark Lane and Talk:Mark Lane (author), and appeared to have consensus for the change. It was also brought up at Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Mark Lane .2F R. Andrew_Kiel prior to the edit warring notice. Thanks! Location (talk) 02:08, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

There has indeed been some back & forth in the article (multiple reverts by Location, Xenophrenic and Guy Macon) over the past 3 days since Location's first edit. While there have been no actual breaches of 3RR by anyone involved, there's certainly been a tendency (by all parties) to prematurely implement changes in the article before all issues have been resolved and consensus reached. For my part, I'm stepping away from the article until Jan. 2 when I can obtain one of the obscure sources we're squabbling over from a local library, and hopefully we'll have received uninvolved input from WP:RSN by then, too. Xenophrenic (talk) 02:52, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

• If everyone "gets it" and will willingly step back a little, I don't see any point in taking any action. Being willing to leave an article in a non-preferred state until you can put your hands on a source, and admitting culpability shows a professional attitude. Just use the talk page more and be patient, it will all work out. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 03:32, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

• Result: Protected three days. Since an IP reverted again after Xenophrenic's last, it looks like not all parties have agreed to step back. There seems to be a battle royal over whether the Warren Commission can be described as 'ignoring' some witnesses. Making that assertion in Wikipedia's voice looks like an invitation for trouble. Xenophrenic is a long-time editor so I'm surprised by his persistence at User talk:Xenophrenic#Talk pages and personal attacks. There are safer ways of presenting the facts and critical opinions about the Warren commission which I'm sure could be found through negotiation. EdJohnston (talk) 17:24, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

I plead .. um .. spiked eggnog. A one word revert to bring the article text in line with the cited source, and suddenly it's "quick, buttress the defenses against incomming fringe attack!" I'm just making sure they dot their I's and cross their T's as far as editing and sources policy goes. Despite disagreements between you and I, Ed, you've always given me a fair shake (even while sternly shaking me up). Thanks for that. Here's wishing you a very fine New Year. Xenophrenic (talk) 19:01, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

The IP's edit merely reflected talk page consensus. --108.45.72.196 (talk) 02:19, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Xenophrenic is still edit warring, this time in an attempt to edit other people's talk page comments:

• 1st revert: [298]

• 1st revert: [299]

• 2nd revert: [300]

• 3nd revert: [301]

• 4th revert: [302]

• 5th revert: [303]

I consider this to be vandalism of my comments and have treated it accordingly.

More warnings:[304][305][306][307][308]

I believe that editing my own comments after someone has modified them is exempt from 3RR (I was careful to always reinsert his comments after rolling back the vandalism.[309] except when he vandalized my comments again while I was cutting and pasting.) If I am wrong about this good-faith belief that 3RR does not apply to my own comments, please let me know and it won't happen again. --Guy Macon (talk) 03:32, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

You are exempt from 3RR only on your own user talk, not on article talk pages. I suggest that both of you stop reverting at Talk:Mark Lane (author) because both of you could technically be blocked for edit warring. WP:TPO is only a guideline, but WP:3RR is a policy. If an admin became sufficiently concerned, they could block either of you for disruptive editing. At present, neither of you appears to be setting a good example. EdJohnston (talk) 04:33, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

I will take that as a fair warning and will take it to heart -- it won't happen again. I apologize for misinterpreting Wikipedia policy on this, and thank you for the clarification. I am also unwatching this page, the article in question, and all associated user talk pages. Again, sorry about that. --Guy Macon (talk) 05:26, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Comments:
This user started out editing anonymously from Leicester, England with two different IPs from the same ISP. He then registered the account HPotato (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). With all these accounts, he has attempted to add speculative content to the article on the French city Marseille. His non-neutral point of view is that "Marseille is predicted to become the first Muslim majority city in France". So far no sources support that unqualified categorical statement now added to the article. Two editors pointed out that an online programme guide for the BBC does not constitute a WP:RS and that a throw-away phrase in a National Geographic article is no more dependable. HPotato has ignored these responses, has reinstated his content and apparently, judging from the timing, has theatened me on my user talk page using an anonymising tor node (now blocked).[317] He is a new editor with a clear POV who has been reverted by two established contributors. He is repeatedly adding very poorly sourced and contentious predictions. He is not listening to the justified reservations about the sources. Mathsci (talk) 17:40, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

As to the first charge: I have always in the past edited WP anonymously. After Mathsci reverted my edit to the Marseille article I registered the account HPotato to make it easier to discuss things on the talk page, and have subsequently used this for all edits (the charge seems to be that I am engaged in some form of sockpuppetry).

As to the second: a demographic forecast does not constitute speculation as I pointed out on the talk page.

Thirdly, the BBC and National Geopgraphic are reliable sources. If demographers had not forecast that Marseille will become a majority Muslim city the BBC would not have reported it. And my edit does not state that Marseille will become a majority Muslim city, only that this has been predicted.

Fourthly, the section of the article on immigration is itself far from neutral: there's no mention of the recent unrest in Marseille, for instance.

Finally, I have at no time made any threatening remarks whatsoever to Mathsci, either with this account or anonymously. If he can't provide reasonable evidence that I've done so he should withdraw the accusation. HPotato (talk) 19:03, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

HPotato has edit-warred to add contentious content to a neutral article that violates WP:CRYSTAL. The sources do not support the statement he inserted prominently five times. He is using a programme schedule on a BBC website as his main source (the National Geographic article makes a speculative statement about predominantly Muslim cities in Wetsern Europe). There are no "demographic forecasts" included amongst the sources he added, just two isolated single sentences on the BBC website and in the National Geographic opinion piece. He was asked to find sources which satisfy WP:RS by both Dr.K. and me, but has so far not done so. There is no sign that he will not continue revert-warring against consensus (see edit summary in 3rd revert). Mathsci (talk) 20:28, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Blocked – 31 hours for 3RR violation. Mathsci's identification of the two Leicester IPs sounds correct. Though HPotato replied here, he did not apologize and made no agreement to stop the war. EdJohnston (talk) 20:36, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Thank you Ed. I think that under the circumstances your block was correct. It is unfortunate it had to come to that. I support Mathsci's analysis above as accurately reflecting the situation. Happy New Year by the way. Best regards. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 21:31, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: (Two 3RR warnings here)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: See Below) Diff of attemtp to resolve dispute on at User talk:MeasureIT: [319]. (Note - this diuscussion invovled more than one article).

The reverter used the article Talk:Lists of British inventions#Invention of the metric system to put his case. My responses were sufficiently short that the edit summaries (see History Page) when used in conjunction with the reverter's Talk Page were sufficient. Each of my changes were attempts to comply with the reverter's requests.

Comments:

User:MeasureIT is on an anti-John Wilkins crusade. His changes appear on a number of other pages including Metric System where there has been a discussion at Talk:Metric system#Role of John Wilkins, History of the metric system (for which I have also issued a 3RR warning), the article England (diff here) and elsewhere.

Martinvl (talk) 17:16, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

I have not made more than 3 reverts in 24 hours to the article in question. The edit referenced as "1st revert" above was not performed by me, that was a reversion by User:Martinvl. The edit referenced as "3rd revert" above was the addition of an "irrelevant citation" tag and not a reversion at all. Before my last edit to that article I counted 3 reverts by Martinvl (indeed I warned him about it here) and 2 by me. I think this a false accusation against me. MeasureIT (talk) 17:35, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Since this posting, User:MeasureIT posted a request on Wikipedia:Fringe theories/Noticeboard without notifying me, even though that noticeboard demands "If you mention specific editors, please notify them". He did not mention me by name, but as "another editor", which in my view does not excuse his failure to notify me. Martinvl (talk) 09:03, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Previous version reverted to: Multiple blanket reverts on Humanism

• 1st revert[320] - disruptive blanket revert of version agreed upon by the two uninvolved editors (who are not here to promote their organization)
• 2dn revert[321] - another disruptive blanket revert
• 3rd revert[322] - and another disruptive blanket revert, reinstating spelling mistakes and obvious errors
• 4th revert[323] - and another disruptive blanket revert, including removal of sourced content.

This user appears to be a highly disruptive POV warrior who routinely reverts edits by any other user than himself on humanism and related articles. His edits are promotional and grossly POV, as pointed out by multiple users. He seems to insist that he WP:OWNs the article and that he and only he has the right to add content (without any consensus) or remove content (without any consensus), and enforces this by disruptive editwarring and outright vandalism (including removal of POV tag from article whose neutrality is disputed by multiple users). He has been disruptively edit-warring on this article for days now. His edits have been explicitly rejected on the talk page by multiple users.

Note his disruptive wikilawyering and double standard in his edit summaries, insisting that others have to obtain his approval before making any edits at all (even rather uncontroversial ones), while he at the same time enforces his own edits (including numerous controversial ones) by editwarring and without any consensus and while in fact multiple editors agree his version is POV. He also appears to be tag-teaming with another user, to promote their organization, as two users noted on the talk page. Jeannedeba (talk) 05:41, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Comments: Jeannedeba is fresh off a block for edit warring on Humanism and related articles. Her first edit off the block was to call the blocking admin "a disruptive troll", her second to file this report against the user who had reported her, and her third to continue to edit war. Jeannedeba's accusations above are obviously baseless, but feel free to check the bottom 2 sections of Talk:Humanism if there's any doubt.   — Jess· Δ♥ 05:52, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

You seem to fail to understand Wikipedia:Competence is required, and you are the only one edit-warring on humanism. I see 4(!) blanket reverts of the article from your part, no other user has made 4 blanket reverts of all work by other users, and your disruption to this article needs to stop. You are not allowed to remove a POV tag, when there are two users (including you) promoting one version and two users agreeing it is POV. You continue making false allegations and being disingenuous as well, I have not reverted anything. Adding a POV tag is unrelated from the edits before (the article is still POV) and excempt from 3RR. Removal of the tag on the other hand counts as vandalism, as it explicitly says that you cannot remove it without consensus. Jeannedeba (talk) 06:09, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Comment. WP:BOOMERANG applies. User:Jeannedeba is mounting a determined but singlehanded campaign to modify articles and templates on humanism to reflect her own viewpoint. Claims that User:Mann jess has an ownership agenda are unfounded; I and other editors (see article talk pages) support Jess' actions as within policy, and reject the claims made by Jeannedeba. There may be scope for further consensus-building on article talk pages, to ensure that articles better reflect both historical religious uses of the word humanism and modern secular uses - which I anticipate Jess would support - but on the evidence so far Jeannedeba appears to refuse to compromise on their own viewpoint. Ghmyrtle (talk) 11:56, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

• No violation. This is blatant tit-for-tat grasping at straws. A block at this point would be punitive, rather than preventative, and I don't believe, based on the talk pages and the evidence presented in the previous AN3 report, that Mann jess is the disruptive party here. -- tariqabjotu 14:48, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Of course not. Only if you're an American political scientist and take a pro-American stance in a conflict where America is one of the adversaries. But that's not the point here. The point is that Stumink is edit warring instead of taking part in the discussion. --Mallexikon (talk) 08:49, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

You reverted me one more time than i did so you have edit warred more than I have and you have failed to use the talk since are edit war started.

Has been removing the "Controversy" section on the listed page. I've asked him to take it to the Talk page for discussion, but to no avail. You'll see the first edit is actually him replacing the section with an editorial. Honestly, the controversy section looks like it could use a bit of NPOV tidying, but I don't think that purging outright is the answer, especially since the citations on the removed info appears to be legit. InShaneee (talk) 07:01, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

The IP has [334] again since this was posted, with a somewhat rudely dismissive edit summary, and at the moment is still refusing calls to discuss with other users. I should also clarify, I know nothing about this page; I just came across it on RC patrol. Therefore, I'm not going to be a ton of help correcting the content, nor do I really have any stake in the outcome. InShaneee (talk) 22:34, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
