Diffs of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page

Comments:

Ryulong is at 15RR in this single article, and with no signs of stopping or slowing down. They have not asserted any 3RR exemption and as a result, are grossly edit warring and way over 3RR. Tutelary (talk) 04:49, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Users in question are almost exclusively pushing a POV on the article despite reliable sources supporting the content that had been consistently removed and issues variously addressed on the talk page despite actions consistently taken by the other editors arguably in this larger dispute. This is an attempt to silence me on this issue when I have been working diligently to edit the article in a way that fits in with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines that most of the editors I reverted do not care about. I should not be punished for making sure that the article is not disrupted by POV pushers simply because I'm the only one editing the page. All edits have been extensively discussed on the talk page, and as usual, I am being chastised when other editors do not adhere to the community's policies and guidelines on article content. I am simply the big bad wolf in all of this. This is just another attempt to silence me in the GamerGate debate because of my alleged position.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 04:52, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

I will not comment on this report based on content issues. This is about editor conduct. I don't believe asserting 15 reverts on an article after being given warning for edit warring should be rubber stamped as fine because Ryulong decided he wants to be the sole caretaker of the article and to stop apparent POV pushing. 4RR or even 5RR could be justified and forgiven because of the fast paced notion of the page and loss of counting. 15RR is deliberate. Tutelary (talk) 05:03, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

TheRedPenOfDoom has also been involved in reverting the actions of editors, as has Countered, NorthBySouthBaranof, Tarc, Bilby, among others. In addition, Muscat Hoe's concerns were addressed in a self revert (I think it was a self revert because there was an edit conflict at some point). Nearly everything here is under discussion on the talk page, and I pressured the other users to discuss it on the talk page. The fact that WP:BRD is never adhered to should not be my fault.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 05:07, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

So is 4 hours considered suitably stale considering nearly every issue that the reverts concerned have been under talk page discussion since long before Tutelary began this thread and were either resolved or in the process of resolving before the posting was made? Not to forget that due to the general sanctions, some of these might be considered acts that violate BLP as several edits called for identifying non-public figures, or denying statements made in reliable sources that effectively violate BLP.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 09:02, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

User:Ryulong needs strict ongoing sanctions related to edit summaries, reverting, addressing talk page notifications, and person to person civility. These things are part of the load, of the type of editing User:Ryulong engages, but there is little to say User:Ryulong has more than a passing familiarity with the sanctioned guides for these things though they are not apparently lacking the literacy to understand. User:Ryulong has 200k edits to the en.wiki, so it is obvious, nothing is going to lead Ryulong to appreciate the wiki community ethic, and only strict sanctions can provide a basis for them to conform, after which they may or may not develop an understanding. These are just some entries from Ryulongs talk page archives, but it is important to note that User:Ryulong routinely deletes talk page notifications as soon as they are delivered, without addressing them, even in edit summary: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] Ryulong needs to recognise, acknowledge and adequately respond in situations of resentment, and that is too tall an order for Wikipedia to insist on, but it is the basis for the initial complaints of my statement and those are not tall enough for Wikipedia to insist. ~ R.T.G 16:17, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

RTG is just making a pisspoor attempt at a pile on. He should know that WP:OWNTALK says, and I quote (with my own emphasis)

Users may freely remove comments from their own talk pages, though archiving is preferred. They may also remove some content in archiving. The removal of a warning is taken as evidence that the warning has been read by the user. This specifically includes both registered and unregistered users.

You are aso conveniently pulling threads from months ago as if that is representative of my behavior now. Most of the complaints are that I use the revert tools (vandalism revert, etc.) to remove content that is not vandalism and that is not what at all happened here. People complaining to me about reverts that I've then explained thoroughly in the threads he links to as well. I have left extensive edit summaries throughout the whole Gamergate article, been heavily involved in the talk page, and on user talk pages. RTG is simply using this opportunity to be completely ignorant of Wikipedia policy as he was in every other time he and I crossed paths, such as his complete ignorance of SPI and his trolling nature to me and whatever this behavior is called. It has now been 12 hours since Tutelary posted her first complaint. This is stale other than RTG's attempt to be a pain in my ass.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 16:33, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

The short tempers on that page are largely the fault of an overly permissive approach to editors who are very obviously not here to build an encyclopedia. Ryulong has been outright harrassed off wiki for the heinous crime of respecting WP policy. There is an ongoing pattern of disruption on that page and frustration is completely understandable. Being 'nice' is nice, but being 'nice' while completely disrespecting the project and its rules is much more destructive than being brusque and adhering to policy.

But regardless, this is WP:3RRN, not the Wikiquette noticeboard. It's not the place to pursue old grudges. - TaraInDC (talk) 16:51, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

In the last 17 days User:Ryulong has reverted 14 talk page messages related to complaints of their editing. Most of these reverts have occured within one minute of the notification. You've got to understand Ryulong, being a pain in "your ass" is not a personal goal I have wether I am or not. Telling you that you battle and show flagrant disregard, well that may be a pain in "your ass". Do you even realise, that the response to my edit you cited above, was to revert it with the edit summary "Trolling", with a capital "T" Ryulong and yet, can you remember the rest of the discussion? You effed me out of it a bit at least when you realised I was not going to agree with you, was not going to shy away and was not going to have a tirade of abuse with you either. The threads I have "pulled" are merely the ones you haven't deleted from your talk page archives, or, the ones you haven't gotten away with deleting because, you do routinely delete them all instantly without response, meaning that to get any sort of a background on you I have to fully examine your contributions, and I'll challenge you without quoting any policies, that talk page notifications about conduct are not to be wholesale removed without address, because that appears the same way as someone who deletes them to hide them, doesn't it? And what is the difference after it is different because you say so?

Note: "...every other time he and I crossed paths..." doesn't User:Ryulong mean that one time, we crossed paths and he followed me to a few talk pages to see if he could get a fight? Until he couldn't settle for agreeing to disagree, and resorted to expletives and following me to other talk pages? Does someone want me to get into diffs because I think that reverting and disputing is what this thread is about isn't it? Look User:Ryulong, you are notorious in your interactions. Understanding how to correct that, is not so much different from learning how to correct content. ~ R.T.G 17:26, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

You still bring up the issues that I've told you that WP:OWNTALK covers. I went to one discussion page where you were also highly disruptive (as evident by the fact that your thread is shut down completely before the RFC ever closed) when you were basically saying "SPI is a sham". This does not have anything to do with the edits Tutelary raised here. If you have issues with my behavior, there are other venues, but I will turn it into a WP:BOOMERANG to point out your ignorance of policies that allow me to do what you're accusng me of doing here.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 17:31, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

You really have no idea that WP:OWNTALK allows me to do whatever the hell I want with messages sent to me on my user talk page, do you, RTG?—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 17:33, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Indeed, you cannot, so you didn't read it, or, you didn't care for it, and yet you post it to me where I am supposed to develop a respect for it. And just for relevance, I reinstated the notice that this thread was open on Ryulongs talk page, and this is their third removal of it. ~ R.T.G 17:40, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

What are you saying? WP:OWNTALK allows me to do whatever the hell I want with messages sent to me on my user talk page. Per WP:3RRNO, a user's own user space (which includes their user talk page) is one of the small handful of exceptions to 3RR. You are explicitly and failing at trying to game me into violating 3RR on my user talk which I've already pointed out does not count. You are making up rules that you think will get me in trouble without actually knowing jack squat about any of the real rules and regulations on this website. You did this at the SPI and its talk page. You did this in the Archive.is RFC. You obviously must have done this in multiple other locations that I've not bothered to go to either if this is how you insist on how things are done here.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 17:42, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

And this is a violation of WP:POINT (if not a massive violation of m:DBAD) if I ever saw one.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 17:45, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

See pal, you are "gaming" into it alright, but not because I am doing it to you. I did something at an RFC that I am doing here, but it's to complicated for a paragraph such as the above one to explain? Well then according to you I didn't, but you reckon you might make it appear that I did, and you reckon doing that will be similar to posting up twenty diffs querying policy violations.

WP:OWNTALK, "There are certain types of notices that users may not remove from their own talk pages, such as declined unblock requests and speedy deletion tags. See Wikipedia:User pages#Removal of comments, notices, and warnings for full details." Each guide has a spirit. The spirit of this guide is not "whatever I want",

Look Ryu, you do need to address your attitude. The idea that you just haven't had the right indication yet is waning. Don't be a dick is what you post to people who revert without edit summaries, Ryu... ~ R.T.G 18:24, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Have you looked at Wikipedia:User pages#Removal of comments, notices, and warnings? It doesn't say "no one is allowed to remove anything". It says that the removal of warnings is not forbidden. And it also says "restoring talk page notices is not a listed exception to the three-revert rule". So therefore if you decide to keep restoring the warning, you are the one violating WP:3RR and I am not. There have been multiple users who have reported me here after I reverted their messages to me on my user talk and they were the ones who ended up being blocked. You clearly don't know how the policies and guidelines work or are implimented so do not try to get me in trouble based on something you clearly do not understand.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 18:43, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

The article is overrun by SPAs and POV pushers who are trying to take advantage of their numbers to shout down constructive work on the talk page and 'win' at reverting the article, making large numbers of transparently unconstructive changes like tagging cited material with citation needed tags and removing wording that was added based on an established consensus because it's 'biased.' Tutelary has consistently been very supportive of these accounts as they share an anti-feminist POV, so it's unsurprising that it's an editor who's been trying to keep the article in compliance with Wikipedia policy for months who's been reported here when there are several pro-gamergate POV warriors who are clearly engaging in disruptive editing patterns. (Cue Tutelary accusing me of being an SPA because I was inactive for two months over the summer.) -- TaraInDC (talk) 13:54, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Eliminating Ryulong appears to be an arbitrary goal for them outside of any policy reasons. [10] Artw (talk) 18:49, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

As a new editor in Wikipedia, a so called SPA, I have to say the amount of ad hominem thrown at supposed SPAs has made me less willing to further participate in Wikipedia. Calling someone a SPA has been used many times as an ad hominem, as a way of disregarding a person's arguments because of what he is. Giving less importance to new editor is expected, but I would like to have my arguments argued against (or even ignored) instead of getting the SPA label thrown around. Awaker81 ) 14:27, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

FWIW, maybe a few of these can be stretched to meet the limited exceptions for reverting at WP:3RR, but not all of these, and just because most of these are new accounts is not reason to claim that reverting them are allowed 3RR exceptions, particularly when the language in the edit summary is that strong. Granted some of those who were reverted are also at high RR since the sanctions have been placed, so this isn't solely on Ryulong, but this is still inappropriate behavior for the page under the sanctions. --MASEM (t) 18:47, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Some may qualify under WP:MEAT.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 18:50, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

That's the problem with being so permissive of SPAs on this type of article, though: it encourages groups that want to 'control the narrative' on Wikipedia to simply overwhelm the page with unproductive edits from a large number of accounts and then act like the wounded party when a far smaller number of editors try to clean up after them. -- TaraInDC (talk) 19:09, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

I am a long-term editor, and I find Ryulong to be hugely POV pushing and generally someone who does not edit cooperatively with established editors. The accusation that everybody who has an issue with the slant that Ryulong has injected into this article over the last several days or so is a "single purpose account" is an empty and uncalled-for accusation. For what it's worth, I think Ryulong should be sanctioned for edit warring or at least given a warning to quit acting like he owns the article, and to work with other editors. Iamcuriousblue (talk) 02:39, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

You're misrepresenting what Ryulong said. You've argued since yesterday that it's "POV pushing" to summarize what the majority of the RS say about GamerGate (because it ain't nice), but Ryulong didn't call you an SPA, so please stop pretending like he accuses everyone who doesn't understand WP:NPOV. Your topic area of interest is only somewhat related ((anti-)feminism, pornography, sexuality). There's no denying that many SPAs with no understanding of WP policy or no intention of following it have disrupted the GameGate article and talk page, or that there have been coordinated attempts to get rid of Ryulong. --Sonicyouth86 (talk) 11:16, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

• Stale Dreadstar ☥ 19:13, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

  Of course it's stale 15 hours later. The only way Ryulong would have been considered to have been edit warring is that he made a big kettle full of black coffee and stayed awake for more than 24 hours. --Pudeo' 16:00, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

Comments:

Only edits have been to constantly re-introduce references to reports that the supposed final versions of the figures do not resemble how they were originally presented when unveiled. It is undue to reference this, an NPOV violation to consider it "controversy", and a normal part of a product development process that is not relevant for the article.

Previous versions also included an OR-violating "Amiibo Rankings" that ranked, in the editors' opinion, Amiibo toys as being worse than Happy Meal toys. Persists despite multiple warnings. As such, this is merely a campaign to push their own POV. ViperSnake151  Talk  00:18, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

You have only shown us three reverts when you need 4. Here's two more (here and here), ViperSnake151. This now brings it to five reverts. Though, there is still no talk page discussion. But as you already stated the user was fully aware that he could be blocked. AcidSnow (talk) 00:34, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

Not only has this user broken 3RR by reverting 4 times (three with main account[11][12][13] and once with an IP[14]) and failing to receive consensus, he has also flat out denied removing sourced content. AcidSnow (talk)

• Blocked – for a period of 31 hours. The user did not revert again after being warned. Normally, given that this is a new account, I would be less inclined to block. However, in June of this year, the user was warned about edit warring on the same article. In addition, the discussion on the talk page of the article is needlessly tendentious.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:49, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

He did not revert again because nobody revered him again...... I am still on one revert too, Bbb23. So it's not surprising that he didn't. AcidSnow (talk) 23:31, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

That's not the point. It would have been better for you to warn him after your revert but before his last revert. Nothing obliges you to do this, but it helps if you bring a report here.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:35, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

I understand. Usually when their reverting I would warn them before their final revert. But I forgot that he used an ip to revert the first time. So it was a bit to late to tell him to stop when he slid in his 4th revert. AcidSnow (talk)

I have no interest in edit wars or long debates, and am open to leaving the contentious material on the page if the user is willing to discuss its inclusion with myself and the other regular MCU editors. - adamstom97 (talk) 09:06, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Comment: I only reverted twice as well, whereas Rm w a vu (talk · contribs) has reverted a total of four times (see below). Though he did initiate discussion, he re-reverted before anyone had a chance to respond and has since continually reverted to his preferred version of the page. After my initial revert of his bold change, he should have began discussion and made no further reverts until consensus could be reached. Sadly, this was not the case. It should be noted that I have no further edits to article after my second revert, nor will I until the dispute is settled.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 10:18, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

• Filer Blocked – for a period of 36 hours (see also report below). What's clear here is that Rm w a vu performed a bold edit. It was not accepted by the community - for whatever reason, and thus WP:CONSENSUS was against the edit at the time. If you make an edit and it's reverted, you have ZERO authority to re-implement the edit no matter what until you have discussed the edit, and achieved new consensus. In many cases, you will NOT gain consensus, which means your edit may not be made. Simply starting the consensus discussion does not permit you to re-add, ever. Although WP:BRD is an essay, it's the simplest method of understanding the responsibilities of the person who wishes to make a bold edit. The fact that not only did Rm w a vu make the edit, re-make the edit, then continued to revert back to their preferred version while a consensus discussion took place (the exact opposite of the process), they took it upon themselves to file this AN/3RR report against the editors who clearly understood the WP:BRD process has led to a 36 hour block. the panda ₯’ 10:53, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Alzira Peirce article; editwarring and 3RR violations by User:Margerypark

Apparent newbie, single purpose editor has engaged in edit warring and violating 3RR. I welcomed her (?), offered to work collegially if she would only specify what I got wrong in the article. I specifically warned her that she would be violating 3RR which would likely incur a block if she reverted my edits again. She has made no response, nor even acknowledged reading anything in the welcome or which I personally wrote on her talk page. I don't even know if she has read anything on her talk page. Please delete her last revert, impose block for violating 3RR despite specific warning and if possible protect the page for 48 hours. Edit warring ANI notice left. Please see [23] and [24]. Thanks, Quis separabit? 19:17, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

:: Why is this being ignored?? I mean you just skip over to a newer issue?? This is ridiculous and not the first time it's happened. Quis separabit? 21:15, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Its not a case of being ignored more of a case of an administrative shortage. Its only been here 2 hours and you can request page protection seperatley at WP:RFPP. The turn around there is normally better than the response here for that sort of request. Amortias (T)(C) 21:20, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Apologies, I mistakenly thought newer entries had been handled out of sequence. Quis separabit? 21:32, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

• Note. The reported editor has not breached 3RR (she's made three reverts), and she made her last revert only a few minutes after your warning, so it's possible she did not see it. And you, Rms125a@hotmail.com, really need to follow the instructions on this page when filing a report.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:23, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

I reviewed the instructions and I don't see what I did wrong. Your punt on this issue ensures that Margerypark's outrageous conduct -- i.e. erasing text with barely an explanation, refusal to respond to messages on her talk page, refuse to engage civilly or collegially, etc. -- will continue. Quis separabit? 00:37, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

I'm frankly astounded. Why don't you answer a modified Passover question: why is your report different from all other reports? I should have just closed it as Declined – malformed report. Please use the "Click here to create a new report" link at the top of this page, which gives a template report, and provide complete diffs.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:33, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. I will check it out. I hardly ever report people for 3RR so I guess I didn't know. Does this mean I should make the same report that I just made over again? But it's not really 3RR, it's 4RR, so I don't have a case. I am going to have to wait for her to violate 3RR (really 4RR) again to file a new report, I guess, if she does. Anyway you declined not because of technical reasons (malformation) but substantive ones. So thanks anyway, Yours, Quis separabit? 02:14, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Yatzhek's addition to the article isn't necessary in my opinion, but technically the one who broke 3RR rule is User:Szaboci (4 reverts in less than 24h - the 1st one at 18:36, 27 October 2014‎ and the 4th one at 17:09, 28 October 2014‎). At the moment of this report User:Yatzhek has a total of 3 reverts (I've also counted 2 reverts made by the IPs 195.69.81.75 and 78.9.132.188 which most probably also belong to him) 106.185.47.4 (talk) 22:09, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

• Note. At this juncture I've alerted both reported users to WP:ARBEE. Yatzhek should, of course, not be blocked for edit warring.

Comments: This user simply reverts my edits, without stating what is wrong, replacing my version with a resume-style, non MOS-conforming, highly inferior version (of her own). I reported this yesterday, however for both technical and subtantive reasons my report was rejected.

Now, however, she has violated WP:3RR by making FIVE reverts within the last 24 hours, despite my clear warning on her talk page to her, which I have no idea if she has even read. The warning was good will on my part as I presumed she is a newbie editor and I didn't want to bite her. She may not be a newbie, who knows? I have gone out of my way to be civil and collegial to Margerypark on her talkpage, asking, imploring her to work with me. She has never responded there or anywhere else, and I have no reason to think she even reads what is on her talk page. This apparent newbie editor believes she owns the article and possibly has some COI connection.

• NOTE: page may need protection. I know that's another ANI dept but since I am here already. Yours, Quis separabit? 19:31, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
• Just to clarify: I did not know another editor would be making an editwarring/3RR complaint about Margerypark, a few minutes after my own. I am leaving my own version, complementary to his, as it contains certain info which is not present in his, understandably as I am the one who initiated contact with Margerypark. The only reason my signature stamp reveals a later time, indicating that I filed this report after he did is because I worked piecemeal since I am on a library database/catalog computer (Wikipedia is accessible as part of the database) and there is no notepad accessory or even Microsoft Word access, so I made more than one trip here now, and re-signed, thus producing an apparently later time stamp, which, if true, would mean I had broken the sequence, which I would not do.

I have also attempted to report this user for the same offence on my talk page. I'm sorry im fairly new and I didn't realise there was a page for it, I just requested an administrator. Oops, sorry.

My initial revision was based on the be bold policy. Further revisions to counter McGeddon's out of policy 'edit war' reversions were done under the WP:DRNC, which is necessary, and exempt from edit war counts, along with multiple warnings in our discussion regarding the issue found on my talk page, in order to facilitate resolution of the dispute according to policy.

User User:McGeddon was clearly instructed and warned, many times, on both the talk page and our discussions that dispute resolution was necessary for progression of the issue, and ignored them on each count, contributing unnecessarily to an 'edit war'.

Thank you for your time

Urammar (talk) 12:46, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

WP:DRNC is about how it's a bad idea to revert an out-of-the-blue edit with a gruff and unexplained "no consensus", it does not mean "if an edit summary uses the magic words 'no consensus', it's always vandalism". Even the most grumpily inappropriate revert of "no consensus" to restore an article's status quo would not meet the "obvious vandalism" exemption of WP:NOT3RR. --McGeddon (talk) 12:59, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

I'd add that DNRC is also not a policy, but a community essay, and is most certainly not a case for exemption from 3RR. Yunshui ^雲_水 13:46, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

TRPoD looks to be in the right here. Per WP:BLPCRIME, we do not give undue weight to criminal allegations against living people, and unless a conviction is secured the information should be, at best, restricted to a passing mention. He's not "throwing policies randomly", he's providing you with links that explain why the content is unacceptable. If he is reverting the BLP violation which you keep re-adding, then his edits are exempted from the three-revert limit. Yunshui ^雲_水 14:56, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Some users use WP:BLPCRIME to censor articles. As per WP:WELLKNOWN we simply document whatever is covered by reliable sources. For example, see Narendra Modi who was never convicted in court of law, but riot allegations are covered in the article. There is no BLP violation regarding Sana Khan. Pls do not misinterpret BLPCRIME and encourage censorship on wikipedia. Abhi (talk) 15:30, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

• Page protected (full) for one week. Abhi, you're fortunate that I didn't block you for breaching 3RR and for BLP violations. And don't give me this nonsense about censorship. If you want to discuss the intersection of BLPCRIME and this article, go to WP:BLPN, but a "consensus" of two is hardly a consensus for this kind of material. Also, next time, file a report here properly.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:50, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Don't show me mercy if I am wrong. Those 4 sentences were added by user:Anupmehra as per WP:WELLKNOWN and they are well sourced and neutrally phrased.

There are always problems where one editor appears to be trying to make contiguous edits and a tag is placed while the series of edits is ongoing. Probably the best course is to lock the article until the election is over at this point. Collect (talk) 20:40, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

It is worth noting that in the same time period User:Cwobeel made 4 reverts in 28:25 hours and that User:Somedifferentstuff made 4 reverts or partial reverts in 24:08 hours. Both of those users have also been blocked multiple times for the same reasons in the past, Cwobeel being blocked 3 times this year, though most recently only for 4 days.

Juno, if you're going to allege violations or near violations of 3RR, you must include diffs.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:54, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Bbb23 apologies, Cwobeel at 14:41, 20:35, 16:50, and 19:06, and SDS at 19:03, 18:55, and 18:57 and the respective block logs: 1, 2. Juno (talk) 23:29, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Juno, thanks. With respect to the 16:50 revert by Cwobeel, I'm not going to count that per the BLP exemption. He identified it as a BLP issue, and I've verified that the sources don't mention the two people he removed. As for SDS, you've only identified three reverts. Also, I might add that SDS's previous blocks are much older (2013 and 2011).--Bbb23 (talk) 23:49, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Bbb23 Fair enough, just wanted everything out there. Juno (talk) 23:50, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

No worries, Juno, it's always a pleasure to deal with thoughtful, civil editors.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:28, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

My first edit today was an attempt to address NK’s concerns, offering a compromise version [54], after a long discussion in talk at Talk:Greg_Orman#Working_towards_consensus. Other edits today included adding dispute tags [55], and restoring the tags [56] after these were deleted by NK. And this edit [57] was to remove content that was unsourced per WP:BLPREQUESTRESTORE. - Cwobeel (talk) 21:31, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Comments: The user is a single-issue account, pushing the campaign of Robert Sarvis in the aforementioned election. A poll of millenials only is the issue, and every editor but this one has found it to be irrelevant. There is a history of this user trying to push Sarvis on Virginia gubernatorial election, 2013.

I am not a single-issue account. I have updated various other pages. I can reference these pages if you wish.

As for the poll, it was conducted by Christopher Newport University's Center for Public Policy (previous polls conducted by this university are listed under the polling header). Thus, the poll isn't unsuitable. Also, the poll is referenced by national, state and local news outlets for its implications. I have added references to these outlets and articles. Therefore, it's not an irrelevant poll and should be noted on the page.

Next, users Tiller54 and Moboshgu have teamed up and blanked other sections that run contrary to their opinions on other pages. One example would be: Virginia gubernatorial election, 2013. Just look at the page history and talk page.

Neither has made any attempt at communication on this point, either at the article's talk page or on their respective talk pages. Wiki-senetor continues to revert war over not just the image on the article, but the order of the stars in the film which Bangbang43 has changed [68] and with the latest reversion on the article Wiki-senetor has once again reverted [69]. This edit war has gone on long enough. It's ridiculous, petty, and needs to end.

I asked and waited to give the guy a chance to self-revert and when he came online all he did was revert another article. So he reverted multiple editors, was warned, was asked to self-revert lest he be reported, and continues to revert other articles. Right or wrong he can't keep going against consensus and should bring it to article talk pages to change our minds. I think 5 reverts is going a bit too far.

Comments:
FourthLineGoon has been edit warring the genre "heavy metal" into the article, but without satisfactory referencing. FourthLineGoon has also been removing the respected Allmusic prose review. The four reverts shown here are spread over 48 hours, not 24. FourthLineGoon was invited to discuss the issue but did not, and he was warned of edit warring, but he chose to revert one more time after the warning. Technically 3RR was not violated but edit warring has been demonstrated. Binksternet (talk) 19:36, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

• Note for those readers who are new to genre warring, which is a very troublesome issue and has been for years. The WikiProject Albums put together a guide for albums, songs and musical artists which says to avoid any genres listed in the sidebar of an otherwise reliable source. The guide says to use the prose review instead. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources#Sources to avoid. Allmusic is listed as a reliable source. Discogs.com is mentioned as unreliable. Binksternet (talk) 19:36, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

defleppard.com citing a VH1 list seems reliable enough. Not sure how that's not reliable.

• Bulleted list item "Genre Warriors almost never provide sources beyond their own knowledge, blogs, YouTube and MySpace. Reliable sources and consensus are alien concepts to them."

This is very interesting because Binksternet's source specifically refers to On Through The Night which has always been cited as a NWOBHM album and isn't really an issue. That can easily be sourced...because it literally is in the review for On Through The Night. This review specifically refers to the genre as NWOBHM. It also specifically mentions similarities to both Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. http://www.allmusic.com/album/on-through-the-night-mw0000652946

My argument is that Binksternet has a bizarre agenda and Heavy metal and Hard rock should both be used for consistency, with allmusic as a source.--FourthLineGoon (talk) 01:57, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

The user appears to be acting as page "owner" and not only reverts changes I make, mass-reverts, despite me requesting he not revert the entirety of the editing I've done on the page but focus on the issue. The user also doesn't appear to have investigated the changes, as he claims (for example) that Bengali is a "script" not an "alphabet" and I therefore harmed the page, but the correct wikipage is in fact Bengali language. (Most of my editing is spelling, grammar and wikilink redirect fixing in the first place: wikignome.) He also doesn't actually *talk* on the talk page, as you can see.

Comments:

I am Michael Coleman's nephew. He went into cardiac arrest on Saturday morning during dialysis and could not be revived. There will be no news articles or other reliable sources as he was not a high profile celebrity. This needs to be edited for any who may not have been informed of his passing. My mother posted funeral arrangements on my uncle's Facebook page. Please read them for yourself or call the funeral home so you know that he is in fact deceased.

Lost.wolf.10 (talk) 16:18, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

In other words, you're a single purpose account with a conflict of interest (if we assume you're who you say you are), who has repeatedly added unsourced claims to a biographical article that requires sources for any new information.

If you are really his nephew, I'm sorry for your loss, but you have to understand that we can no more verify your claims than you could verify my claims if I said I'm Bill Murray. That is why we need some sort of news source or else we have to assume he's still alive to avoid including any slanderous claims. Ian.thomson (talk) 16:30, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Per WP:BLP, Lost.wolf.10 is the one edit warring. Ian.thomson (talk) 16:39, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Comment/clarification In no way endorsing what is going on or providing an opinion once an obituary is posted in a paper would this satisfy the Reliable source requirement?- McMatter ^(talk)/_(contrib) 16:43, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Provided it established that it was indeed the blues musician and not just some guy named Michael Coleman, and no sources came up demonstrating that he's still alive, it probably would. Ian.thomson (talk) 16:51, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

And key would be establishing that it's this musician. I did a cursory search of Facebook and found two or three other Michael Colemans but not this one; I was hoping I could link from the subject's Facebook page to something published by the funeral home. —C.Fred (talk) 16:56, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

It doesn't help that the name is kinda common. Nor does help that (judging from how often I saw this from customers "in a band" and listed performers at local festivals) there seems to be a trend among older musicians to use stage names that are easily confused with someone who's more notable, e.g. "Jamie Brown," "Ray Charlie," and "Steven Wonder." Not that that's the case here. I hope. Ian.thomson (talk) 17:18, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Restart of an earlier editwar about the same content that caused the article to be protected. A rewrite of a third party was bluntly reverted The Banner talk 23:53, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

The Banner is getting into an edit war by removing content without a discussion. Please see the Talk page on JournoList. He is using ad hominem attacks against me, refuses to answer which multiple reliable sources he has issues with, refuses to answer why he thinks the page is not neutral even when cited by the same sources that employed the JournoList members in question, and constantly reverts changes without citing any Wikipedia policy for his reasons. Sy9045 (talk) 23:56, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Hey, I did not break the 3-revert rule. All four reverts are entirely your own work because you did not accept a rewrite of your non-neutral version. The Banner talk 00:13, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

You are intentionally removing content without a discussion (widely sourced from various multiple reputable sources), other than ad hominem attacks against me. I have repeatedly asked you for your reasons for removal but you have resorted to insulting me instead.Sy9045 (talk) 00:23, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 00:24, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

Administrators, these two editors are removing content without having a discussion or justifying their reasons based on Wikipedia's content removal policies.

Please read the JournoList talk page to see what I'm talking about.Sy9045 (talk) 00:26, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

Yes, see the talk page where I have specifically explained the multiple policy-related issues with your massive rewrite of the article and requested that you discuss your proposed major changes and gain consensus, because they are not uncontroversial. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 00:29, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

And I responded to you. Did you not see that? Various multiple reputable sources cited what I added to the page. Why are you removing content from these citations? You instead removed the content without any further discussion.Sy9045 (talk) 00:33, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

The fact that you "responded" to my concerns does not mean that there is consensus for your version.

Editor Reding tremk has run afoul of the WP:3RR brightline by reverting the removal of their questionably useful photo in the article Reading Terminal Market.

Comments: These are four reverts made to the Tupac Shakur article which occurred in one hour and 3 minutes. I have given the user the recommended notice and also acknowledge that the user and I have not gotten along, but I feel the dispute needs to be resolved through consensus and that they to be blocked for violating the rule. I have already tried discussion on the Talk:Tupac Shakur as well and I seek a fair mediator.

Attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page

1. Talk:Vishva_Hindu_Parishad#Swami_Lakshmanananda (Info Note: One user has edited this section under two different Wikipedia user names)

Comments:

Vanamonde93 is expressly purging referenced content initially added by another editor long ago, which I added back and he keeps removing it repeating that he is not satisfied by response on the talk page discussion; without waiting for a consensus or response, he reverts immediately after putting his comment. Technically this is not 3RR violation. But Vanamonde93, two weeks back also, has reverted another user 3 times in 24h [157], [158], [159]. AmritasyaPutra^T 06:26, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Having watched this debate from the beginning, I think there is hardly anything to fault in Vanamonde93's conduct. The point raised by them in the diff [5] ("undue weight") has not yet been answered even though AmritasyaPutra reinserted the contentious material every time it was deleted. Until AmritasyaPutra understands and addresses/concedes the point, I don't see why their preferred version should be on the article page. The edit war is entirely due to AmritasyaPutra's failure to join the debate on the talk page. There was no "attempt to resolve the dispute" on their part, merely sticking to guns. Kautilya3 (talk) 09:15, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Note: Kautilya3 is an involved party ([160], [161], [162]), Consider the above Info Note [163] too. Comment: Please validate what Kautilya3 is alleging. --AmritasyaPutra^T 09:22, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Hmm. There is now law against being involved in a debate, as far as I know! Kautilya3 (talk) 09:52, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

I am not certain what AP is trying to achieve here, as he has as many reverts as I do. I don't believe my behavior is block worthy; I don't think I have hit 3RR, and certainly have not breached it. Yes, you can edit war without hitting 3RR, but if somebody takes a look at the talk page, they will see that successive reverts only followed after discussion, and came because AP has been refusing to discuss the issue of the relevance of the content removed, and insists on talking about the reliability, and the fact that it has been in the article for a while, despite myself and Kautilya repeatedly telling him that we were not disputing those. This tendency seems to have continued in his report as well. Finally, my last revert was eleven hours ago, and I have since posted to the talk; without a 3RR breach, any block would surely be punitive at this point. Vanamonde93 (talk) 16:38, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

You agreed reliability and notability are not the issue([164]). Your stand is "it is not relevant to the lead" though you agree it is relevant to the article([165]), is there a guideline for it that you followed to revert six times immediately after your own comment? I have responded categorically([166],[167]). I do not have as many reverts -- you reverted two editors. --AmritasyaPutra^T 17:12, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

• Result: User:AmritasyaPutra, User:Kautilya3 and User:Vanamonde93 are all warned that they may be blocked if they revert the lead again before getting a clear consensus on the talk page. A 2:1 majority in Talk:Vishva Hindu Parishad#Swami Lakshmanananda is hardly a decisive verdict. I suggest following the steps of WP:Dispute resolution which can bring in outside views. One option is an WP:RFC. EdJohnston (talk) 17:43, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Here's an odd one. A Dutch IP arguing with itself over the wording of a disambig hatnote. Policy, practice and three separate users today have reverted this to the usual

"For other uses, see Steam (disambiguation)."

but one of the IP personas wants to have a double link with

"For the software distribution platform, see Steam (software). For other uses, see Steam (disambiguation)."

presumably because they're a gamer and so they're a special snowflake.

Whatever. It's clear edit warring. Cut it out.

Wow really? Not only have you failed to accept sources you have now chosen to try to get me out if the picture. However, during my time on Wikipedia I have never broken even once. Ironically, I can't say the same about you along with your refusal to gain consensus. Even now, the first link is from October 29 while the other two are from November 5th. Not only that but you did not even bother to notify me this false report.

"User is reverting without discussing and does not look to previous discussion", you honestly must be joking. Where did I not disscuse anything let alone not read the disscussion on the talk page? Anyone can see that I have including user Middayexpress. AcidSnow (talk) 11:29, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

@EdJohnston: I'm curious as to why the editor wasn't blocked when he was the only one with a problem, the only one reverting the same issue over and over. He edit warred and nobody else did, but now the article will suffer when a new episode airs tomorrow and instead of adding a summary tomorrow night it will be added a week from now? Gloss 04:45, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

If you can get agreement on the talk page, file an edit request. An admin can update the article through the protection if they perceive a consensus. EdJohnston (talk) 05:00, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Just wanted to say that I am truly remorseful for any fret I might have caused you, but I do stand by my decisions and actions. I welcome further discussion on the topic on the series' Talk page and only wish to keep Wikipedia articles running smoothly and informatively. Thank you and cheers, LLArrow (talk) 05:03, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

If any other admins could please review this, it would be appreciated. Protecting the article was not the right way to go about this. One editor was the problem, and now the article (which is highly trafficked) will suffer from not being updated after the most recent episode. Gloss 04:13, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

• Blocked Orubel for one week for WP:BLP violations (in addition to the edit-warring that everyone was doing). Others not blocked because of BLP exemption. Obvious conflicts and probable socking. Semi-protected for one month (none of the warriors is auto-confirmed). Andy Dingley, at least this report wasn't malformed, but you must notify any user reported here. I'm not going to bother notifying Orubel, but, as a matter of form, I will notify the other two registered accounts (there's also an IP involved).--Bbb23 (talk) 06:35, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

Comments:

109.22.125.90 made some bold edits. I found them problematic. Reverted per WP:BRD. Attempted discussion in talk page. A third party showed up and a consensus was formed. So far so good. Only 109.22.125.90 continued to counter-revert with offensive edit summaries and never showed up in the discussion. Now revision 632139121 is interesting. Hostile edit summary suggests he intended to counter-revert again. But what's get reverted is his own edits. How? Well, I do partial reverts. i.e. I only revert part that are against the consensus. The rest I recover. Seems to me that this person is so angry that doesn't care what he reverts; hitting the revert button and writing something biting is more important to him.

The nature of his contribution is important: Part of his contribution violates a previous WP:ArbCom ruling. Please see Talk:Windows Live for details.

Best regards,
Codename Lisa (talk) 15:07, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

• Note. Codename Lisa, first, you breached WP:3RR, whereas the IP did not. Second, the edits do not "violate" any ArbCom decisions. Those decisions are referred to in the guideline as a partial basis for the guideline, but that aspect of the ArbCom decisions is not enforceable and cannot be "violated". What you have (I don't know anything about the issue) is an alleged violation of the guideline.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:53, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

• I made three reverts to Windows Live on 2 November. A fourth is required for breach. I won't argue on the ArbCom ruling anymore. But I did discuss in talk page and IP user is adamant to participate.

Look, in the past, I've proven that the moment someone starts to discuss the matter, I treat them cordially. (I don't insist on the "correct" revision being in effect during the discussion.) But so far, this person has not even taken a single step; looks like he intends to force his revision at all cost. His talk page indicates he even has a history. I think at least a semi-protection is in order. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 00:21, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

• You reverted four times: (1) two edits ending at 0:50; (2) two edits ending at 14:09; (3) 14:42; and (4) three edits ending at 15:32. And I disagree with FleetCommand. None of the reverts is exempt under the vandalism exemption.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:27, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

• @Bbb23: The edit at 0:50 is not a revert. It is an original. (Believe me, if I was a revert, it was a revert of my edit; I'd know it.) And ruining a page's grammar is vandalism; it is in WP:VANDTYPES. Fleet Command (talk) 03:13, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

• You really need to educate yourself about policy. I don't know what "original" means, but text was removed from the article. That constitutes a revert as defined by policy. I see nothing about ruining grammar, as you put it, in VANDTYPES, but it doesn't matter because that's not the kind of vandalism that is exempt. It has to be egregious vandalism, often called "poop" vandalism. Trying to exempt a revert because of vandalism is very rarely accepted because if the user is really vandalizing an article, you'd go to AIV, not here.--Bbb23 (talk) 05:40, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

• A revert is a deliberate act of undoing a certain edit either in part or whole. (That's why it is perceived as very personal.) Additions, removals and modifications that are part of the natural article evolution are not reverts; if your comment was the standard to judge edits, 68% of Wikipedians would have been violating 3RR every day. Furthermore, I don't see WP:3RRNO prose requiring intensity of vandalism; indeed, in practice, the only difference in treating non-serious vand. vs. serious vand. is in the use of {{uw-vand1}} instead of {{uw-vand3}}. Finally, you are being exceedingly generous towards one user and exceedingly stringent towards another. May I inquire why?

Now, the purpose of this board is to help deal with users who want to force their POV in Wikipedia and refuse to participate in any form of discussion. This certain IP user is that kind. I never have reported a regular because they are more than willing to have a dispute resolution. Sometimes, I don't even revert them the first time. What am I supposed to do with this editor? I'd like to reiterate that as soon as this editor enters discussion, all the he did before shall be forgotten and he shall receive a non-biased discussion.

Best regards,

Codename Lisa (talk) 13:00, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Codename Lisa, I have a suggestion for you for the future. Let's assume you make an edit that is, in your view, part of the "natural article evolution". The probability is no one is going to count that as a revert, despite the fact that it technically qualifies as one per the 3RR definition, and, as you say, this happens all the time. But let's say that right after that there is an edit war in which you are involved. Regardless of whether the war is over your first edit, you should now be much more careful and count your reverts, including the first one. Now maybe another admin won't count that first one, but why take the risk? In addition, does it really matter if you make one less revert? If the material you're reverting deserves to be reverted, let someone else do it. Anyway, this is intended to be friendly advice, even if you don't agree with my reasoning.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:48, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

@Bbb23: Actually, you are making perfect sense. To look innocent is as important as being innocent. And you are advising me to do what I have always done: Involving others, and in doing so, establishing an audit trail. Except doing that brought down other accusations like team-tagging, sockpuppetry and being part of a "cable". (What's a cable anyway? Typo?) Very well.

But regardless of all this, the opposite of edit warring is discussion and it takes two to discuss. I can't make up for the second party's absence with anything, even invoking genuine external opinion. If you asked me, an editor who counter-reverts with an edit summary that reads "Unnecessary reversion for shifty reasons WP:ROWN, WP:BRD and WP:POINT) [sic]" has already made up his mind not to discuss.

Best regards,

Codename Lisa (talk) 08:09, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

• Erm, tell me Bbb23, exactly why are you defending the an IP user that has WP:NOTHERE problems and makes edits that utterly fail WP:COMPETENCY? Four different editors have so far expressed their disagreement with this editor. Isn't it time he stopped? Perhaps you should voice your opinion in Talk:Windows Live? Fleet Command (talk) 03:31, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

• Actually, Bbb23 is not defending him. User:DennisBrown once explained for you what he is doing. But, if you'll excuse my being a bit frank, now I do understand the proportion of "my edit" in your message above. But of course, the question here is: What would a hypothetical super-collegial editor in my shoe whould have done? Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 03:49, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

• Comment: Reverting this edit is exempt from WP:3RR per WP:3RRNO, #4, because it is clear vandalism made out of spite. Registered users can make edits like this by mistake through Twinkle. But IP users can't. It is deliberate. Fleet Command (talk) 00:50, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

• @FleetCommand: I hope I am not digressing too much but how would they do it through Twinkle? Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 01:24, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

• I'm not exactly sure, but I assume selecting "last diff" and "revert good faith/revert vandalism" does it. Fleet Command (talk) 03:13, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

• No. "Last diff" is removed from watchlist in 2012. We only have "cur" and "prev" now. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 03:49, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

• Semi-protect. This makes the IP user stop and come to talk page. Full protection stops CL too, but also anyone else. CL says she won't revert if the IP discusses. So, WP:ROPE. Fleet Command (talk) 00:55, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

• This user is starting to commit sheer vandalism: [231] Fleet Command (talk) 18:05, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

• Hello again, FC. Let it go. This thread has expended its lifespan. If the opportunity for compromise presented itself, I'm going to grant it. (I was always; only the chance is now growing higher.) You know, I owe a lot of my success and joy in Wikipedia to the fact that I was always willing to talk it over and have a compromise or negotiation. But it must be understood by everyone, including the attending admins in ANEW, that a dispute resolution takes two. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 12:30, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

Comments: These are three reverts made during 30 minutes, and separated from another revert by ~ 24 hours. Technically, this not a 3RR violation. I report this only because the user has been previously blocked [237] with a note by admin: "plus stated intent to GAME the 1RR on that page", and this is exactly what he does right now on another page. Moreover, they currently edit war on other pages, for example here
— Preceding unsigned comment added by My very best wishes (talk • contribs)

I count four reverts, all on November 3, starting at 17:44. In my opinion this breaks WP:3RR. I made an offer on his talk page suggesting he can escape sanction if he will agree to get consensus on talk before making any controversial change to Donetsk People's Republic. I suggest that admins wait to close this until User:HCPUNXKID has a chance to respond. EdJohnston (talk) 16:03, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

I sincerely apologize if I broke 3RR, but lets be clear, reaching consensus in that article is simply mission impossible. I've tried to discuss the issue, but if you look at the Donetsk People's Republic talk page, Im not the only editor denouncing the evident negative bias of the article, but we had been all ignored by the half-dozen editors who seem to own this article and every ukrainian-related article. Due to that dictatorship (I know it sounds hard, but how you would call a total control of the articles by a group of POV-driven editors? That's the situation right now), its impossible to make an edit (even to add a NPOV tag) on ukrainian-related articles unless its biased in favour of Ukrainian nationalist views. That happens in several articles, like Donetsk People's Republic, Svoboda (political party), 2014 Russian intervention in Ukraine, 2 May 2014 Odessa clashes and a looong number of other articles. It doesnt matter you have good, neutral, reliable sources used & accepted in other articles, that group of editors will use their majority in numbers in order to remove your content unless its favourable to their personal POV's. On the other hand, they could use unreliable sources (aint an unreliable source one coming from one side of the conflict? That's one of the major rules on the Syrian civil war articles, not use sources from one side of the conflict in order to attack or difamate the other side. I suppose that is applied to any other conflict articles, isnt it?) as they want. So, what should editors like me must do, just shut up and see how Wikipedia passes from an encyclopedia to a one direction political-driven website?. That's not a rhetoric question, so please tell me what should I do when reaching consensus aint possible.--HCPUNXKID 22:18, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment)I think that User:HCPUNXKID would do well to acquaint himself with WP:BATTLEGROUND. Your apology is ingenuous given that you've been using the talk pages but is simply not listening to anyone who tries to explain policy and guidelines, then continuing by simply returning to the articles and reverting using ES like this. You've now been intentionally gaming the system on a number of articles by only just staying within the 3RR for weeks. While overenthusiastic editing practices by relative newcomers is hardly exceptional, it's time to understand that tendentious editing is simply not acceptable. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 22:44, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

The solution to this problem is not a block, but a topic ban under the Eastern European discretionary sanctions, which he has been notified of. He is continuing to make messes across articles, including unilateral PoV page moves. RGloucester — ☎ 23:11, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

After coming back, this user refused to follow the offer by EDJohnston [238], and started doing exactly the opposite. He continued edit warring on other pages [239], [240], [241], [242] (see also his edit summaries). Based on his comments here and elsewhere, the reason for such behavior is obvious: they refuse to follow WP:Consensus. Therefore, I agree with suggestion by RGloucester about the topic ban. My very best wishes (talk) 01:49, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

• Redtigerxyz, I am sure you are aware that edit war involves at least two party and you are equally responsible for the feud. Though I can see more clean reverts done by you than বব২৬. You both are trying to push some POV, specially some of your views are biased towards hindu origin of the calendar. While, বব২৬ is wrong about lunisolar nature of the calendar and others. You two should continue to talk on the talk page and I suggest you both refrain from editing the article for three days or until dispute resolves. There is no need to continue this ANI. It is entirely possible to to resolve content dispute through talk, especially when you both are talking. – nafSadh did say 18:38, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

EdJohnston, I am adding referenced material in the article and the reference clearly says that calendar is solar and is based on the Surya Siddhanta and the month names are Sanskrit. My POV is based on RS. I have redirected the user to WP:RS ("Please explain on the basis of WP:RS") as well as other policies (see article talk). However, the user is removing the referenced info and adding that the calendar is lunisolar, which is inaccurate. The current edition still has the inaccurate data, but sadly I can't edit. I have tried discussing, all I am getting is WP:OR, which is not backed by RS. What is the meaning of such a discussion? Isn't there a policy stopping removal of referenced material and introduction of inaccurate data? Redtigerxyz ^Talk 13:44, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

nafSadh, I will refrain from editing the article. However, the article should be NPOV and accurate. Theory of origin by Shashanka and Surya Siddhanta, must be noted as references note them. Also the reference also explicitly say that the names are Sanskrit. Redtigerxyz ^Talk 13:44, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

Comments:

Harout72 continue to add poorly sourced material to both Baltimora and Den Harrow while I provided rules which prove that the editor's edits are not helpful. AllMusic sidebars and other poorly sourced material is not acceptable in music-related articles. Also just because one song is described as "new wave" is not enough to prove a band usually performs "new wave music" (which is obviously not the case because I found a highly reliable book associating these two acts with the Italo disco genre).

Comments:

Please note that User:Synthwave.94 persistently removes sourced Genres from the Infoboxes of both from Den Harrow and Baltimora claiming that the sources talk about one song only, therefore, it isn't enough for that Genre to be included. The user Synthwave.94 has so far failed to back up his/her removals with such policies that restrict Genres from being included, if sources provided speak of one song only.--Harout72 (talk) 16:46, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

• That's not cause to edit war. And indeed it looks like you're both past 3RR at Den Harrow, too. If you can't resolve these issues via article/user talk pages, take it to dispute resolution or, if you find his/her actions particularly egregious, it may be appropriate for WP:ANI. --— Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 16:54, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

• Page protected (full) for one week. The new user's motives may be suspect, but the material they were removing cannot remain in the article. First, there are copyright violations. Second, there are WP:BLP violations (one of the two sources is a dead link, and such controversial material cannot be sourced to a dead link). And why in the world is there a quote from Jesus in the article? Did anyone read the material? I've therefore locked the page, as too many editors believe the material belongs, and removed the material.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:25, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

Their About Us says: "Firedoglake.com (FDL) is a leading progressive news site, online community, and action organization consistently ranked as one of the most influential political websites."

Comments:

I've watched this page for some time before creating an account, and the above user is engaging in disruptive and frankly unnecessary behaviour on the above page which borders on some form of edits war/vandalism. The user has repeatedly edited the page to remove sourced material and has acted utterly arbitrarily in so doing. The user removes historical references in the "history" section of the page and seems incapable of understanding why this is in fact relevant when explaining the above firms "history." The user also considers him/herself so educated on the subject that they dismiss as irrelevant a book precisely about the above firm. The book is not as he/she states by the firm itself, but is written by the legal historian Judy Slinn http://www.amazon.co.uk/A-History-Freshfields-Slinn-Judy/dp/B002622CHO

The user has also removed information from an interview with the firm's former managing partner which was clearly relevant and sourced - purely because the interview was reproduced online in a blog. While there may be a couple of Peacock words on the above page, following Wikipedia guidelines, this does not mean that the user should simply "gut" the page of all useful or relevant information. Nor does it explain why the user removed information regarding the firms legal work on the 2012 Olympics, or information about the location of Freshfields offices - which would be relevant to any user of the page.

Information like this - historical and otherwise - is common on other international law firm pages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sullivan_%26_Cromwell

The users behaviour is inexplicable to me, and is not at all consistent with Wikipedia editing guidelines.

Should this page be protected?

I'd no idea that he had been edit warring, but just noticed that he has reverted a change of mine removing an ancient and outdated POV tag that was supposed to be removed several days ago. Perhaps the term should be "tendentious editing" rather than 3RR. --TS 12:34, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

• Blocked – for a period of 48 hours. Although I understand Ryulong's logic, which goes to motive, I've not blocked tendentious editors whose reverts were BLP-exempt, even though their motive was obviously biased. However, Torga had the chutzpah to revert yet again (Tony's edit), which put him over the top regardless. Reverting while a report here is pending and without commmenting here as to why is generally not a good idea.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:26, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
