• Diff of 3RR warning: User:Arzel (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) is an experienced editor who has given WP:3RR warnings and made reports in the past.

No violation Arzel's removals are exempt under WP:BLP. He was taking out inadequately-referenced negative material from a biographical article. Since the people who keep putting back this material are gradually improving the sourcing, he may not be able to get away with this indefinitely. Neither Blaxthos nor Arzel has so far made any use of the Talk page of the article. (It should be noted that the NY Times reference offered for the critical material doesn't mention Gretchen Carlson, so it's not an ideal reference for criticism of Gretchen. It is not clear that blogs are a suitable reference here either). EdJohnston (talk) 03:21, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Response. /Blaxthos ( t / c ) 03:44, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Just a note that Blaxthos has an ongoing dispute with me personally over other articles. He has never once commented on that talk page, and as near as I can tell never made an edit. It would appear that he "followed" me to that page and is reviewing my edits, showing a huge lack of good faith. Additionally, I can't understand why he would even be in favor of such vague references to controversies within a BLP. Arzel (talk) 04:02, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Furthermore, the anoyn added the same material multiple times without reliables sources, any sources, or sources even relating to Carlson multiple times and I am the one that gets reported? Not cool at all. Arzel (talk) 04:07, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Including liberal criticism added context to the article. From reading the entire article there was no reference for the reader to be aware that she is considered a controversial figure in journalism and on television. Additionally, Keith Olbermann ("Claims of ideological bias") Bill O'Reilly ("Controversy and criticism") and Brit Hume all have similar controversy sections so it seemed obvious that one controversy section should be included for Carlson. Regardless, Arzel chose not to use the discussion section and seemed ideologically bent on keeping any criticism out. Notably, he did not dispute any of the citations as EdJohnston has appropriately done. Surely the admin notices Arzel has been removing criticism of mainly conservative figures. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.230.48.50 (talk) 13:42, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

The malicious user didn't make these deletions in a short period, but should be blocked, as is the discretion of the Administrator in this type of case. The user's Talk page has numerous warnings spread out over wide amounts of time, on many articles.

Hasn't reverted since 1 am this morning, ergo, stale. Scarian^{Call me Pat!} 22:26, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

There were nowhere near four reverts by Kuratowski's Ghost in 24 hours. The submitter of this complaint, and some of his supporters, persist in adding an unsourced passage to the Immanuel article. If your claim is correct, you should be able to find sources. It seems probable that Mateek (talk · contribs), 70.22.168.24 (talk · contribs), 70.19.192.13 (talk · contribs), and 70.19.197.168 (talk · contribs) are all the same editor. Otherwise the exact coincidence of viewpoints between Mateek and these three single-purpose accounts would be curious. Sockpuppetry on admin noticeboards is not likely to be a successful strategy. (Mateek is inviting a block, in my opinion). If the abuse continues, semi-protection of the article should be considered. EdJohnston (talk) 01:14, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Just because the Wikipedia cookie expires when I'm filing here at the 3RR Noticeboard, or I forget to sign innocently doesn't make me intentionally deceptive in any way, which accounts for the IP addresses. My DSL provider (Verizon) changes them at their will, and I don't have any connection to them. The Noticeboard description says deletions older than 24 hours can still be considered for a block. I don't have the time to ask to become an Admin here, but I doubt you are authorized. I could've sworn instead of User: it should have said Admin:. Either way, you and Scarian fail in your duties miserably. Mateek (talk) 20:36, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

It does not take rocket science to be sure you are logged in to Wikipedia under your own name when you file a 3RR report. It might have been helpful if you had acknowledged that you had made IP edits on Immanuel somewhere in the text of your report. If you think these details don't matter, take a look at WP:SOCK. EdJohnston (talk) 20:49, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Nor is it rocket science to know a worn out Wikipedia cookie would sign me out right in the middle, accounting for the IP. Mateek (talk) 21:21, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

There is no such thing as failure, Mateek, when you make a change that can lead to a success. If you want something done it's best not to insult the two most regular admins who oversee the board. :-) Scarian^{Call me NANCY!} 21:18, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

This user has shown an obvious bias against the Harvard Extension School. This user is not only edit warring on the Harvard Extension School page, but if you go through the users contribs you will see that he has a history of edit warring. Also, you can see in the users Talk page that he has had dozens of users say something about this, but he just deletes the comments immediatly, threatens to have them blocked, then writes negative things on their talk pages. He is essentially trying to bully his edits into wikipedia. I feel that he should recieve a block, since he has not responded to any warnings to stop edit warring. --71.233.150.26 (talk) 03:45, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

EdJohnston (talk) 04:16, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

• • I understand that the language that I put in the Harvard Extension School page could be considered "promotional", even though I did not intend it to be, and that is why I did not put it back in. But would you agree that Ave Caeser is going against consensus by continuing to revert peoples edits? --71.233.150.26 (talk) 04:31, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

It seems to me that Ave Caesar was trying to ensure neutral point of view. He did not go over the 3RR limit himself. The 64.91 editor's deletions of well-sourced material bordered on vandalism. If you think the current article is not sufficiently positive about the school, I urge you to take your concerns to the article's Talk page. EdJohnston (talk) 04:46, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Well looks like this took care of itself while I was offline. Let me know if you need me to comment. Thanks for looking into this closely, Ed.--Ave Caesar (talk) 13:19, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

User:Kossack4Truth's entire edit history consists of introducing POV and non-relevant material into Barack Obama (and writing large treatises on talk pages about "how readers must know the 'dark underside' of Obama"). This material always consists of large paragraphs expounding on the evils of Obama's "associates"; mostly, these edits are exact reinsertions of the same material removed by consensus; occasionally it is a slight rewording of the same WP:BLP and WP:UNDUE violations. S/he has been blocked for the same exact action before, but has again gone over 3RR today. 71.130.194.163 (talk) 04:07, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedia Administrators, I (user name Anup Ramakrishnan) am making this post from outside of my account in Wiki. In a certain page here, titled Viv Richards, a player of the game of cricket, there is a lot of trouble being created by some extremely biased and cheap fans of other cricketers who do not want to see facts about others that their own favorites cannot boast of.

This has led to my having to revert their edits more than twice, and one of the miscreants on that page is getting his friends to revert my edits so that he himself would not violate the rules on this site. Please warn the user Blnguyen not to come on that site and remove whatever goes against his own views and opinions on the subject, even if they are fact. He is guilty of false citations and lies on other pages which I am not even detailing here. Hope you understand and help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.83.179.37 (talk) 02:00, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

No violation Arcayne's edits appear to be exempt under WP:BLP. Your claim that Googoosh's parents lived in Iranian Azerbaijan rather than Azerbaijan has no reliable source. In fact, Googoosh's own web site says she was born to Azerbaijani immigrant parents from the former Soviet Union. (i.e. not from Iran). This implies that your claim is wrong. Find reliable sources for the statement you are trying to make, and then we will start enforcing 3RR on any further reverts beyond that point. EdJohnston (talk) 18:12, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

And, just to point out that Kurdo has been repeatedly asked (and eventually warned) by many other editors to utilize the discussion page to discuss his edits instead of edit-warring. I should have pointed out in article discussion that my reverts regarding the (regionally) polarizing ethnicity issue was based upon BLP; that's my bad. If a reliable, verifiable source is added, I have no intention of fighting it. I don't care one way or the other; it just needs a citation. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 18:36, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

A few points about this report. 1) User:EdJohnston has a history with Arcayne, he was canvassed for help by Arcayne in another dispute I had with Arcayne only a few days ago. 2) The Iranian Azerbaijan theory is supported by several sources. 3) All of Arcayne's reverts are in violation of WP:BLP by claiming that GooGosh is currently married to Kimiaei, when there is no evidence that the two are still together. Taking into account 1, 2, 3, could another admin please re-review this report? --Kurdo777 (talk) 19:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

• No violation Concur with EdJohnston. Arcayne's edits are exempt from the 3-revert-rule; the edits of those re-adding the information are not. The article, however, is a mess of fact tags and needs some aggressive pruning. CIreland (talk) 19:45, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

comment - Again, it would bear to point out the characterization of 'canvassing' is pretty inaccurate. I asked for a neutral set of eyes in the Anti-Iranian sentiment. It is also insightful to point out that Kurdo was counseled and warned not to editwar there as well (a behavior which had occurred on two prior occasions and resulted most recently in the article being dispute-locked).

Also, there is a citation noting the state of marriage, which is backed up by the article subject's own website. There is no citation suggesting that they are divorced or estranged from one another. Had Kurdo responded to the repeated requests for discussion regarding these matters, this would have been pointed out earlier, and might have made his confusion here somewhat unnecessary. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 20:16, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Please ask to stop wikistalking me and supporting those that harass me. Thank you. --DHeyward (talk) 00:04, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

There were a couple of edits which were inappropriate (a stale dispute revisited). What remains visible now (pro-life) and (capital case) is unobjectionable. Fred Talk 01:43, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I see no BLP concerns here. DHeyward is not assuming good faith either with his unfounded accusation that I was trying to "bait him." That is absurd just like his other accusations here. I even left a message on the talk page asking him to discuss his concern instead of just edit-warring. I also left one on his talk page. If there was some BLP issue then the offending editor would have been warned, or blocked. Instead we just have DHeyward edit-warring on his own, over the course of several days.Giovanni33 (talk) 00:07, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Of course you don't see it. It's been oversighted. A user would have been blocked but this is a low-level of activity IP editor so we just deal with it using rollback and other edits. The IP editor is aka Kek15 and her edits were discussed over a month ago. --DHeyward (talk) 00:16, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I think you are mixing up and confusing that with this issue. I see nothing related to the user Kek15 here, and nothing about BLP or privacy. The issue is public information that you are reverting, specifically his view on Abortion (relevant given the case), and his being rejected for a Capital Case, based on inexperience according to the judge. What is the privacy concern, here?Giovanni33 (talk) 00:23, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I see that you have not been involved in this article so that is why you do not know anything. Isnerting yourself was a bad idea since it was only to bait me.. --DHeyward (talk) 00:40, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I've reverted myself pending other input but please address the wikistalking and baiting that User:Giovanni33 is engaged in. --DHeyward (talk) 00:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I am formerly Kek15 and my issue with this article and Dheyward had nothing to do with this content. I was attempting to add the term Christian Terrorirst and this is well documented on the article talk page. Dheyard is confusing 2 issues here. The content that he is attempting to remove now has been in the article for a long time without objection from him or anyone else. I (and others) are pleading with Dheyard to please use the article talk page to present his rationale for removing this content at this time. It is sourced, it is public information, and has been in the article for a long time. DHeyward is an experienced editor who does know the rules. He has violated the 3RR and I have left him 2 warnings on his talk page. He really does know better. Why does he refuse to discuss this? Why the edit war? 72.92.4.157 (talk) 01:00, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

"Terrorist" is hardly a term that should be tossed around lightly, and it's inexplicable that you think such a thing ever belongs in a NPOV article. Even the article on Osama bin Laden only mentions that word in the context of direct quotes and references (such as saying he's on the FBI Most Wanted Terrorists list), rather than using it directly as a description of the person. Now, "stalking" and "harassing" are also terms that shouldn't be tossed around nearly as much as they are, and it's disappointing that DHeyward uses them in the context of an editing dispute. *Dan T.* (talk) 01:09, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

The term Christian terrorist was not being tossed around lightly and has nothing to do with this current edit war (that other issue was over a month ago). The term applied to one of Scarborough's clients, but sufficient sourcing was not found for it to appear in the article as opposed to the article on Eric Rudolph where the sourcing and consensus does provide for its inclusion. I agree that DHeyward is a more experienced editor than some of his comments here would indicate. 72.92.4.157 (talk) 01:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

At this point, it appears the system is being gamed, by running right up to 3RR, with his preferred version, even though multiple other users are reverting it to the version that describes the current practice. He is clearly aware of the Three Revert Rule, and, generally chooses to ignore it, it seems. Anyhow, it appears, he's back, trying to kick up the same old problems.

The edit waring originally started by Mosesconfuser (talk · contribs) on May 31th over whether some part of history could be interpreted as a legend or regarded written history on multiple articles related to Korea, but there is no discussion on the controversial subject except this mockery.

Regardless of the 3RR waring and my advice to participate in a discussion to the both party, unlike Kubie, Mosesconfuser ignored and reverted to his preferred version twice. Besides, meanwhile, he also added another previously reverted contents. Judging by his POV pushing and writing habits, I don't think Mosesconfuser is a newbie, so he needs a lesson from his violation. --Appletrees (talk) 04:04, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

A long discussion on article talk reached (rough) consensus on minimal encyclopedic language to use in mentioned "disreputable associates" of bio subject, in a WP:SUMMARY article. Andyvphil has resumed inserting identical long digresssions about these third persons; probably hoping to sneak them in during the recently accelerated editing by previously uninvolved editors (in unrelated article areas, the completed nomination race drew lots of editor interest).

• PelleSmith continues to not provided substantial material to satisfy citations. He seems to use the reverts in order to avoid WP:BURDEN on natural theology. PelleSmith's first revert actually removed a citation from the lead that can be used to verify it, so I tagged it for him to satisfy the needed citations, and you can see his replies above in the reverts. It is also suspicious that he used the wikiprojects to draw attention to an AfD on astrotheology. (which now someone else has made the 4th revert -- reverting citation tags without providing any refs???)

—— Dzonatas 01:50, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

For reference, PelleSmith's WikiProject request is looks like this. He contacted the Religion, Christianity, and Philosophy projects. Also, I have further reverted this user, because it seemed to me that the tagging is very pointy. How can something like natural theology not be notable? The user seems frustrated. Merzul (talk) 01:59, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

It is not clear why he stated "pointy." I asked on Merzul's talk page to clarify. PelleSmith's reason to revert my change is merely based on the question that *I* made the change. PelleSmith didn't question the content of the change at all. See the talk page. If you notice in AN/I, it shows how he also reverted the lead in astrotheology. He seems to support that "astrotheology is natural theology" in order to get it merged into natural theology, even though I have shown many times that astrotheology is not based on teleology like natural theology's original principle. The citation I added explains that, he deleted it. Even if citations for other parts of the lead can be given, this one obviously deserves more merit than to outright delete it (and further request tags) — Dzonatas 02:15, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Johan Rachmaninov‎ has repeatedly been edit warring with me on the Bad Religion page by changing the band's genre. He keeps changing their genre hardcore punk to pop punk. Bad Religion is actually a hardcore punk band, not a pop punk band and they are not Blink-182, Good Charlotte, Green Day, Sum 41 and Yellowcard, who all use that genre. He's been doing this for two days and he won't stop. I've really had enough of it. Earlier today, I already sent a request to block it in a way to stop this argument. So please, ban this guy without delay; he has a bad habit of not listening to me when I ask him to stop what he's doing.

I happened to know the article due to repeated vandalism on manhwa by OCN ISP anon[59][60] who also vandalised the page of Blade of the Phantom Master as blanking the nationality of the artists.[61] The main dispute is that it is only manga, Japanese comics, or manhwa. However, the two are translated into Japanese / Korean cartoon, so I presented a compromised version like " the work is a cartoon and an animation series created by Korean manhwa artist..., specializing as Japanese manga published by a Japanese publisher"....However, the anon removed all Korean mention and manhwa. I think this disruption is unfair, but have tried to resolve the dispute enough, as opened a discussion at the talk page, left message at Japanese OCN ISP anon(s) for discussion several times, even filed RFC and went WP:AIV, WP:RFP. But nothing returned from the other, and the anon keeps ignoring all WP:DR methods and removed Korean mention which originally addressed on the article. However, too obvious sock account (return after his/her 8 month break and under 15 edits in total). There is no other participant in dispute, the anon is highly likely Jazz81089. I went to WP:RFCU, but due to his scare total edits made Checkuser hard to judge anything.Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/KoreanShoriSenyou

I believe that this case is related to a banned user who did the same thing on the article in question last June, and the anon/Jazz81089 also already violated 3RR rules.

I don't see that he has any intention to cooperate with the opponent (me) and regard a consensus. Judging by the circumstance evidence, the dynamic anon could be none but Jazz81089. He violated 3RR rules twice, so I think he needs a lesson on his violations. --Appletrees (talk) 16:57, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

To other admins - I see Jazz81089 has made 3 reverts in 24 hours, which is edit warring. If the IP can be proven to be him then it's 4. Would a block be in order for Appletrees and Jazz? They've both made 3 reverts. Scarian^{Call me Pat!} 17:24, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Comment. Selket's action seems correct. In case the situation continues in the future, notice that Jazz81089 appears determined to remove mention of any Korean connection from Blade of the Phantom Master. This work, though published in Japan as manga, was created by a Korean author, so Jazz's repeated removals don't seem well-advised. EdJohnston (talk) 17:40, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I reported the user for vandalism because this is what he is doing.

This is about User:Anyeverybody reverting 4 times within 4 hours, after being warned, and being asked to revert himself, to no avail.
He persists in adding his own self-made images into an accident article, where what happened is in dispute, violating WP:NOR and WP:NPOV. He has also violated 3RR, and I have asked him to revert himself, which he has not done. I have unfortunately had to run up to three reverts myself, and as involved admin I am stopping to let others deal with him. Crum375 (talk) 03:37, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Anybody choosing to block Anyeverybody over this should, in fairness, block Crum375 as well - he's made the opposite reversion himself about 8 times in the past week (though never more than three times within any actual 24 hour period as far as I can see). Actually, without resorting to blocking, I'm trying to get these parties actually talking constructively. Cheers --Rlandmann (talk) 03:45, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

If performing 8 reverts in a week is a violation, I am not sure where that's stated. I also suspect most active Wikipedians would be "violating" that routinely. This page is about WP:3RR, and this editor has reverted 4 times in 4 hours. Crum375 (talk) 03:54, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

You might care to re-read WP:3RR and note that the whole purpose of the rule is to avoid edit warring, and that it's possible to violate this even having made fewer than three reversions in a 24-hour period. Reverting over and over again is not going to resolve a dispute... --Rlandmann (talk) 04:32, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

As you have protected the article, there is no threat of disruption and thus blocking anyone is inappropriate. Blocks are preventative, not punative. --B (talk) 03:52, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Please note that Crum has been reverting more than the image; his/her evidence actually shows him/her reverting improvements to the page besides the image. Moreover his/her response on the article's talk page seem to indicate this as well as they seem to refuse to enter into discussions about expanding the article on the talk page. Anynobody 03:53, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Rlandmann has protected the article. There is nothing more to argue about here. Anybody blocking Crum375 over this should be desysopped faster than you can say arbitration. --B (talk) 03:58, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

If the case weren't moot due to the protection, in my view a block of Anynobody would have been appropriate. A self-made computer-generated image of what the airplane might have looked like under one of the scenarios can't be justified by any reference to reliable sources. He did go over 3RR while Crum did not. It's hard to make a defence of Anynobody's edits as being within policy. EdJohnston (talk) 04:13, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Sure - I agree it would have been appropriate. I eventually protected the article as an alternative to blocking both of them. I'd rather have them talking. --Rlandmann (talk) 04:32, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

First of all, I never violated the 3rr rule, as my edits are not within a 24 hour period. Second, you are an equally active member in the dispute, as you alone have reverted the inclusion each time I added it ever since the first time I added it. Not to mention you recently got away with 2 3rr violations without being blocked. YahelGuhan (talk) 05:31, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

In the last 40 hours I've made 3 reverts to the article while you've made 4 in just over 24 hours. Secondly, I'm giving you a chance to correct yourself. If I was given the chance to do so, I would only be too glad to self-revert.Bless sins (talk) 05:38, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

NO. I made 3 reverts, not 4 in 24 hours, and so have you. You are probably just waiting for me to be blocked, or an hour to pass before you revert me agian. Instead you make more false allegations of a non-real 3rr violation. Conviently just one day after your incorrect stalking report. This is simple math; it is 3, not 4.

You want your way in the article, and am willing to make up allegations of a falsified 3rr report in order to get it. You want that clause deleted inspite of it being well sourced and within wiki policies. Warnings are a required step in making 3rr reports, and even though you did the math incorrectly, you know a warning is required before a block is ever made. I love how you attempt to hide your real intentions. YahelGuhan (talk) 05:47, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

You are well aware of the 3 revert rule, and have been blocked for it in the past. Hence no warning is necessary. ITAQALLAH 16:27, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

• Note to other admins - YahelGuhan, despite being just outside of the 24 hour limit (40 or so minutes doesn't count, as that's gaming the system), has violated 3RR. Both users, in fact, are edit warring, but I am unsure of how to proceed. I would suggest a block for both. Thoughts? Scarian^{Call me Pat!} 06:49, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Since Yahel Guhan's last revert I've not made any reversions (though I could have). The edits you see that I made after Yahel Guhan (in the history) are uncontroversial improvements to the article.Bless sins (talk) 07:05, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

You are probably just biding your time. Afraid you are going to get blocked, you are trying to temporarily depict yourself as a better editor. I doubt it will last, as your editing shows you do still want that paragraph removed, and you have a history of edit warring to get your way. Second, my intention was not to game the system.

3. 13:06, 6 June 2008 (edit summary: "undo deletions performed by edit warring hagiographers")

Although not strictly a violation of 3RR (the editor in question waited 24 hours and 10 minutes before performing the same revert again), this is still a clear case of edit warring (the reason for 3RR in the first place), and for exactly the same material as he was previously blocked for a week. These particular edits are both contentious and tendentious, and violate WP:BLP. -- Scjessey (talk) 13:34, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually, the third revert wouldn't have violated 3RR even if were within 24 hours of the first. Takes four to do that, so there was no reason for me to "wait". I just happpen to get in from work about the same time every day. Anyway, if you look at the talk page you will find that Scjessey offered seven alternatives for the treatment of Bill Ayers in Barack Obama and got virtually no support for his preferred option (#1) of no mention at all of the former Weatherman in Obama's bio. Despite the ongoing discussion and majority opposition to his course of action (even Scjessey had given up on #1 in favor of an excessively anodyne #3) Shem decided it was time to initiate WP:BRD by deleting all mention of Ayers from the page.[76]. BRD of course allows for "R" (my first edit above) as well as "B" and is supposed to be followed by "D", not immediate repetition of "B" until it sticks. Both Kossak4Truth and I have restored Ayers to the page, and the minority of editors (the poll was quite clear in it's result -- "no mention" got maybe two votes out of about 20) who want no mention of Ayers have edit warred it off. And as I speak, it is still off, since I won't violate 3RR (and indeed have not violated 2RR) to restore it. A sockpuppet IP reported me for "violating 3RR" a bit further up this page on the basis of one revert, and now Scjessey wants me blocked for three (not four) in 25. He has himself made three reverts in the last 17 hours. He is clearly engaging in knowing abuse of process...as can be seen by examining Scjessey's own edits:

Andyvphil (talk) 14:26, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I think an article ban would be better than blocking. Andyvphil, you haven't had one single edit that lasted. You've been reverted by numerous users. Do you think it's time to quit (editing that article, I don't mean Wikipedia)? There must be something wrong with your edits if you're being reverted all the time. Not everyone is a vandal or an edit warrer, do you realise this? No violation by either but I think a voluntary article ban for both user's would save them from being blocked. Scarian^{Call me Pat!} 14:58, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but even a cursory glance at the edit summaries of my edits above will see there is no edit warring on my part. Two of those edits concern minor formatting issues, and the other two concern miscategorizations. Furthermore, you will see from the article's talk page that I am engaged in a lengthy consensus-building exercise, which I initiated, and in which Andyvphil has taken almost no part it. I filed this report because Andyvphil was obstructing the consensus-building process with identical contentious edits concerning the material being discussed, rather than revert any of those edits myself. -- Scjessey (talk) 15:08, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I'm sure your reverts were good reverts and my reverts were bad reverts. In your mind.

Noroton has for several weeks vigorously pursued the dispute resolution process and has been tireless in refuting the bogus arguments of Scjessey and others that it is somehow inappropriate to clearly describe Ayers in "Obama's" article. There is little reason for me to duplicate his thankless and unrewarded effort, though I have chimed in where I have had something to add.

To repeat, as I've pointed out, since Scjessey offered seven options for treating Ayers in the Early Life section of Barack Obama (which was not how the subject came to be discussed, contrary to Scjessey's implication) both the mention there and the mention in the Presidential Campaign sections have been removed by the hagigraphic clique which "owns" the article with no regard for the ongoing discussion of how to treat the subject, which discussion has decisively rejected Scjessey's preferred option of deleting all mention of Ayers. I's been six months since the clique first deleted my contribution to the article of the information, cited to the NYTimes, that Obama's pastor and church were Afrocentric and highly political (this was before the videos hit and brought the significance of those facts to national attention) and I've had plenty of time to conclude that AGF-based effort is wasted on the likes of Scjessey. I'm obliged by the rules of Wikipedia not to say what I really think of them, but I'm not obliged to conceed their ownership of the page. Andyvphil (talk) 23:22, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

If nobody plans on doing anything here, I'm going to suggest closing it as moot, since 24 hours has passed and neither party has edited the article. --B (talk) 12:11, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

I have every intention of restoring mention of Ayers name to Barack Obama, in accord with NPOV. Not mentioning Ayers has only minority support, but I would not be dissuaded even if the local claque of Obama campaign volunteers mustered a local majority. "Rough consensus" is determined after examaining the qualty of the arguments, and theirs are indefensible. Andyvphil (talk) 07:30, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Well I don't think I've ever seen such an emphatic declaration of the intent to edit war before. Incredible arrogance. -- Scjessey (talk) 12:58, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

You're in the minority, Scjessey. You cannot claim consensus. Furthermore, Anonymous Dissident (an admin) has clearly stated that the material can be included without violating WP:BLP if neutrally written and reliably sourced. Since you wrote Options No. 2 through No. 6 on Ayers, I think you'll concede that they're neutrally written and there is abundant RS material out there. The only problem is deciding which of the multitude of reliable sources should be cited, and taking care of edit warring POV pushers like you. Kossack4Truth (talk) 13:31, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

I support the 24-hour block. There are not quite enough edits to show that Dvaaeg is a sock, from behavioral evidence alone (he has only 7 contributions). An initial impression is that he wants to deny any recognition to the Republic of Macedonia (which WP no longer requires to be denoted as FYROM), or to allow Slavic names to be included in the articles on Greek towns like Florina. This was also the pattern of edits of Aegeanhawk. I don't see any proof yet that they are the same person, but we should keep an open mind. If checkuser finds this person to be the same editor, then an indefinite block of Dvaaeg would be indicated. EdJohnston (talk) 19:31, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

TragedyStriker is virtually an SPA promoting Zachary Jaydon. After attempting unsuccessfully to put include him as a mouseketeer, he has recently come up with some fairly obscure paper sources to justify the inclusion. Consensus among other editors is that the change can only be included after someone other than TragedyStriker has verified the information. TragedyStriker seems quite unwilling to accept this. Kww (talk) 20:44, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

TragedyStriker is me, and a Wiki editor interested in Zachary Jaydon. I am not a SPA, and not an artist at all. The sources are not obscure at all, but Disney Channel Magazines; official sources from the very television station that broadcasted the show. There are also a NUMBER of online sources that have been deleted by 3 editors, one of whom maintains a hate website on the subject. I have scanned the articles and sent them to half a dozen other editors regarding Jaydon, and will have others reinclude the information. It seems ludacris that I am being told that an "uninterested" editor has to reinclude this information, when it goes completely against the spirit and policies of Wiki. Assuming good faith is the very backbone of Wiki, and it's very discouraging to run into editors like this. I have provided everything that this select few have asked for and at this point, all of it has been pushed aside. If I am taking the initiative to research the sources to create a more informative and more accurate article, I don't think it's too much to ask for other editors to take a small amount of time to look at the same sources provided if they have any questions. Please advise.

Skyler Morgan (talk) 20:54, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

For those watching: the "hate website" that TragedyStriker mentions is real: this article is an example page. I don't know if I would characterize it as a "hate" website, but I can see why he objects to it. I believe that is published by User:thegingerone (based on this statement by her), but she has not edited the article during this recent dispute.
I also have a hard time reading I have scanned the articles and sent them to half a dozen other editors regarding Jaydon, and will have others reinclude the information. as being anything but a threat to use meatpuppets to bypass blocks. If he has scanned the articles, why doesn't he send them to one of the editors that is insisting on validating the sources?

I have protected the article for 36 hours, so you (Xasha) can file a request for checkuser or suspected sockpuppet report. If the inquiry comes back positive, I'll remove the protection (or it might just expire) and further reinstatements of the edit by Olahus could lead to a block. If the inquiry comes back negative, I'll revert back to Olahus's version (as it was the latest version) and see where things go. If an edit war continues in that situation, the article will probably be protected (or one of both of you may be blocked for violating the 3RR). -- tariqabjotu 19:12, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

While it is true that it doesn't take three reverts to make someone guilty of 3RR, I point you towards WP:BRD. One also needs to have a history of edit warring before an administrator will take action. Making a bold edit, then reverting back to it, then starting a discussion about it is pretty standard fare.

Comment. This article has been controversial for BLP reasons, but I don't see Truthmaker1's repeated removal of the reference to the Times article as having a BLP justification. The forgery charge is supported by that article. Reliable sources do indicate that this man has had a checkered history. The version to which Truthmaker1 reverted appears sanitized. Due to the complexity of Freer's dealings, it is possible that the details of his past troubles are still not exactly correct in the article. But deleting the Times reference can't be a reasonable step to take in fixing that. EdJohnston (talk) 16:53, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

There is NO evidence he had a checkered past. A gag order was instituted on Freer during the Gizmondo investigation by the court appointed liquidators. Therefore the articles cited were created without any way for Freer to pursue justice and keep them fair. The 2 journalists in the articles you cite are under indictment and awaiting trial for slander. This is NOT sufficient material to warrant publication of for you (the editors of Wiki) to assess him as having a "checkered" past. I will contact Freer and urge him to pursue a legal action against Wiki for slander if these false entries are not removed instantly. Truthmaker1 (talk) 00:46, 8 June 2008 (UTC)Truthmaker1

This man wound up making a lot of investors' money disappear, for whatever reason. It is not up to Wikipedia to anticipate what courts will do in the future, or what reliable sources will eventually conclude about Freer. All we can do is faithfully report what the sources are currently saying. And Truthmaker1 should be cautious about suggesting he will make legal trouble for Wikipedia, per Wikipedia:No legal threats.

Since this is such an important article, there might be a case for putting it under Wikipedia:Article probation, but that's an issue for ANI to discuss. EdJohnston (talk) 04:42, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

I explained 3RR to the user before the after the 2nd revert, and again after the third revert. As the user is new (and is posting frequently), I offered (at 21:57, June 10) the user the chance to self-revert immediately, and waited over an hour for that to happen. I think I've done what I could to help the user along, but (s)he seems to not want to play by the rules. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 04:22, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

• 3rd revert: 21:44, 10 June 2008
• 4th revert: 22:49, 10 June 2008

Notes

• As first revert you could also count this removal of the recently added paragraph by an editor with whom he has much trouble (current example), or you could count the the revert of the move of paragraphs by the same editor.
• Revert 3 was made by an IP of his. Molobo uses IPs of that provider.

Summary

Molobo resumed revert warring once his latest block ended again: [79](prev), [80](prev), [81] (prev), [82] (prev), [83](prev), [84] (prev), [85](prev), [86](prev), [87](prev). Sciurinæ (talk) 01:28, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

This is indeed a 3RR violation, if the revert from the IP is included. Please take this to WP:RFCU first. Khoikhoi 01:51, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

User:Sciurinae has asked for a checkuser. EdJohnston (talk) 04:15, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

I have blocked Molobo for one week. Given that he has resumed edit warring on multiple pages immediately after I blocked him (including the above 3RR violation), I think that this is a sufficient amount of time. Also, the length is based on his previous block history. Khoikhoi 04:30, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

I also would ask that this editor, who has a history of disruption on this article, be banned from editing it in the future. This is not his first incident of a 3R violation resulting in a block on his account; he has a history of edit warring on other articles as well that did not result in a block. He was one of the primary editors in a major edit war last year that ended up with the Korean cuisine article being completely locked down for a month. --Jeremy ( Blah blah...) 21:04, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Note that revisions must be non-consecutive. Anyway, I'm going to protect the article because you were both revert-warring. Further, your tenor in this dispute is less than ideal. "Frequent edit wars"? I don't see that many instances of the use of Thunderbolt to circumvent 3RR violations (although I have blocked the account). You also shouted WP:OWN for what seems to be absolutely no reason, and made a sweeping accusation ("I notice you consisten[t]ly delete anything you disagree with") based on what appears to be little to no evidence. (Let me also add that your interpretation of WP:NPOV is off the mark.) Ultimately, you're creating a tempest in a teapot, trying to get Lyonscc blocked for no reason. No, sorry. -- tariqabjotu 20:47, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

(Pertinent information from user talk pages for future reference:)

I will be reverting your changes tomorrow - specifically the ones in violation of WP:V - blog-sourced information from Phil Johnson, etc. and all of the unsupported material added. You've only added unsupported speculation and innuendo to this point. The legitimate complaints about the ECM are already contained, with many of them being fair ones. The stuff you've added to this point is mocking (which IS violation of WP:NPOV) via the image - which Phil does NOT own the copyright to, apart from the border. The Spurgeon Archive, itself, is a self-published blog, which also violates WP:V as a source. Please refrain from making changes without discussing them first on the discussion page, or we could have avoided this. In short - there is no need for a new section, as the key criticisms already are documented.--Lyonscc (talk) 21:12, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

A couple of things -

1. Thunderbolt2002 is a friend of mine from work who I've asked to help me mediate a couple of times in the past. I called him before leaving from work today. My understanding is that he rarely logs in, though we do have some common interests.

2. Adminster has refused to discuss changes before making them, even after a reasonable request to do so. Some of the information he's trying to add is unsupported speculation from a blog source (spurgeon.org), and the image, itself, has copyright issues - the border is copyrighted by one individual, but the internal image is not his to copyright. Additionally, the image itself is a parody and violates WP:NPOV. While I'm willing to get a third opinion/arbitrate the issue if Adminster will discuss it, the changes don't belong on the main page until consensus is reached.

3. OK-one more: If you're going to block editing the page, can you return it to its form as of June 10 before the edit-warring occurred, as the current version has multiple issues requiring discussion, as noted above??--Lyonscc (talk) 21:35, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[102] First, none of them has been "breakin" the rule, since its not 24 hours between it, but then, the purpose of the rule is to avoid whats just happened here. I changed Syriac people to Aramean-Syriac people, since it redirects to that page, in the "See Also"-section, and then User:Chaldean for some reason reverted it (not the first time, [103]). And when Chaldean reverted it three times (not within 24 hours), User:WestAssyrian shows up and revert it again. And now the thing is, Chaldean reported me a couple of weeks ago when I broke the rule, again he reverted it three times himself, and then WestAssyrian reverted it when he had reverted it three times, "trapping" me to break the 3RR rule. See [104]. Again, technically they haven't broke the rule, but again, they are cooperating with eachother so that they can get around the rule. The TriZ (talk) 19:47, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, but what can I do against them? They are two, they have six reverts, i've only got three before I break the rule. And they are obviously wrong, right? Why have a redirect and not a directlink? It's purely cause they don't like the directlinks name (Aramean-Syriac). The TriZ (talk) 11:44, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Next time know what the 3RR means. The page you are refering to is inaccuratly titled right now.

Please, no one is interested in your lies. The facts are, the pages name is Aramean-Syriac people, and not Syriac people which is a redirect to the Aramean-Syriac people page. And I know what 3RR means, and I've explained it. The TriZ (talk) 00:52, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

This user is edit-warring in a number of articles related to the Republic of Macedonia in the Eurovision Song Contest. He continually inserts redundant information in the introduction and either does not use an edit summary or simply says "do not remove sourced material", refusing to listen to any other points. Using sources is no excuse for breaking 3RR. BalkanFever 07:17, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

User:Lakinekaki reported by User:Dyanega (Result: 24 hour block )

I cannot give the specific revert that violated the 3RR rule, because there was no fourth revert; however, this editor has smugly stated that they will continue making the same revert (e.g. here) "forever" but keep it to 3 reverts every 24 hours. They have explicitly admitted here that they intend to violate the intent of 3RR without technically violating the policy. Not only that, but encouraging other editors to join in the reverts - "FYA, I will continue changing the introductory forever, being careful I don't do it more than 3 times in 24 hours. I invite other editors with common sense to join me in this."

Surely, that sort of admission of malicious intent merits some sort of administrative response? Dyanega (talk) 17:26, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Response The accuser is the same user as User:60.42.252.205, who was banned previously. While I recognize that the user has removed blog/youtube/dead links, the user has also removed chunks of sourced information and has also rewritten statements that already have citations, some of them book citations, to suit his own pov. As I have said on the article's talk page, I have no problem with the user copyediting the article, but blatant removal and misrepresentation of sourced information is vandalism and that is why I'm reverting to the previous version. Blueshirts (talk) 10:52, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Comment Right after the NTT Plala anon got off from his/her block, he/sh commitited the same thing on the same article regardless of several warnings and the previous lesson. My one time revert of the anon's was identical to several people including an admin, blueshirts, and two more others. However, the NTT Plala anon digs his own grave again because this report is nothing but a clear evidence on his blatant disregard as to our 3RR policy again. Admins, please look at the below file on his violation on 11RR.--Caspian blue (talk) 12:09, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Reversion means reversion. If one looks at the edits, it is clear that I continue to develop the article removing deadlnks, blogspots, Youtubes etc. Both users reverting to that same version. Thank you --60.42.252.111 (talk) 13:48, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Reversion means reversion, not necessarily to be identical at each time. (more than 5 reversion are identical though). Besides, why are you dragging me into your revert-wars or vandalism activities? I restored your blanking campaign one time and put up with your insult at my talk page (you also violated 3RR there) Sadly, more than 2 editors are against your massive deleting compaign with no consensus. --Caspian blue (talk) 13:55, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

To me, this looks like a POV-based move by anon IP 60.42.252.xxx to remove material and references that make the abuse of comfort women look more like voluntary activity. It's not vandalism, but it is taking sentences supported by reference and rewriting them to give them new meaning unsupported by the reference. Binksternet (talk) 14:07, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

I have been very clear in my summaries (please check them), and on talk and discussion pages and added citations supporting the atrocities. I am not denying any facts nor reducing the debate to a simple polemic.

NTT Plala is a Japanese ISP located in Japan that you're currently using. Japanese Plala IP user is not equal to Japanese user. I already said you that I don't think you're Japanese. However, that is a simple fact that you're Japanese ISP's anon. Besides, whoever objects to your massive deletions, you label the people as pro-Korea, Taiwanese, Hong Kong, Chinese, which is all contradiction to your resentment on my edit summary. Regardless, you now violate 11RR. --Caspian blue (talk) 14:42, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

You label whoever object to your massive deletion without consensus, as "Pro-whatever-country" I do not know what ethinicity others have, but you're distorting my comment and you're the one keeping advertising editor's nationality or ethnicity here and there.

The NTT Plala ISP anon who resides in Japan is identical to 60.42.252.205 (talk · contribs · logs) who was previously blocked for 24 hours for his 5RR violation and POV pushing on the same article. It is so irony that the 8RR violator filed the above bad-faith report on other and he/she claims other editor's 3RR violation. This edit summary tells the anon's attitude well

Blueshirt only restored the properly sourced material and the report misleads that the anon's massive deletion of cited contetns from consensus or proper discussion. Nope. At my first glance, the anon who resides in Japan does not listen to other's opinion, and commits (near-)vandalsim on the article. We don't know who the person is with a self-claim that he has no prejuidice but his edits just prove contradictions. If you look at the talk page, you will find the opposite facts from the anon's claim. --Caspian blue (talk) 11:59, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

• Addendum, now the Japanese ISP anon violated 11RR in a row. I guess WP:RFCU is necessary on this case to prevent further disruptions by the anon. If h/she dits under his static account, the anon could possibly violate 11RR within 7 hours? I guess not. The anon is very knowledgeable of Wikirules, so I guess s/he is not a new user.--Caspian blue (talk) 14:37, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Response 1

I've responded to this on the Talk:Internet_Diplomacy page. I actually removed as much bias as possible, but IP edits from one source have been removing cited facts, adding opinion, deleting sections added by others which favor other sites (not just mine; even edits from others which reflect badly on his site are removed by this one IP).

Lawine has only contributed edits relating to this one page, and only seems to care about reversions of vandalism against my site.. Since the last reversion posted here more vandalism has occurred, which Lawine is protecting against reversion. Rather than any of the versions which were posted above, the latest version with further edits from the IP user is protected.

Kestasjk (talk) 09:58, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Response 2

As it is now: Started in December 2007, PLAYdiplomacy.com is the newest version of online Diplomacy. PLAYdiplomacy.com is based on the open-source phpDiplomacy, but offers a point-and-click interface for order submission, and hosts a range of variants for more experienced players.

How Kestasjk (talk) would like to see it: Started in December 2007, based on phpDiplomacy, PLAYdiplomacy.com is another such site.

Don't tell me that this is unbiased information. You just need to get the name of your website in there first, while the current article also says it's based on phpDiplomacy, but makes it less urgent.

I tried to talk to Kestasjk (talk) about this on his userpage, but he keeps removing comments from all Wikipedia users from his Talk page.

Lawine (talk) 13:53, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Response 3

That's not true; I actually removed "another such site" and replaced it with the existing feature list because I thought it was trying to sound bad: I really am trying to make everything as unbiased as possible. But then someone came and reverted it, and kept on removing the image that went with my site along with its feature list. If you're trying to "balance out" perceived bias with vandalism I don't think you're going to get far.

Also you just edited my user:talk page stating "Kestasjk is biased. He is the admin of phpdiplomacy.net and should not be doing this. This is bad for Wikipedia. Etc". When I removed that it was quickly re-added. That doesn't really count as "talking"

And you mention that it's the "newest version"; it's not, Strategery is just one example of a newer web-diplomacy site I can think of. You mention that I try to move mine to the top, but if you look you'll notice that they're all in chronological order. This puts my site below many others, and this is how it has always been. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kestasjk (talk • contribs) 14:04, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Finally I noticed that the above comment was added by 84.193.140.205; the IP which has been doing all of the vandalism (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/84.193.140.205). Does this mean Lawine logs off to perform the vandalism, then logs back on to complain with a user account when I revert it? Or is 84.193.140.205 pretending to be Lawine above?

The first 2 diffs are on the 9th, the second 2 on the 13th, and the last on the 14th. The 2 on the 9th are contiguous, so count as one. Ditto the ones on the 13th. I note that the block was for edit warring not 3RR but thats hard to understand: K has more reverts William M. Connolley (talk) 16:51, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Calling the dispute "valid" is a stretch, but you are right that the diffs don't show a 3RR problem. -- Kendrick7^talk 16:55, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

• The user first started reverting via anon IPs (132.198.138.110) belonging to University of Vermont. Upon doing 3 reverts, the user switched to the newly created single-purpose account User:Sandipani1, and started reverting again.

Per Wikipedia:Vandalism, "Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism." Removing material from an article is not vandalism unless it is intended to make the article worse. If you disagree with someone's removal of material, you might be able to challenge it for other reasons such as NPOV. This could be discussed on the article's Talk page.

Actually, I did not make more than 4 reverts. Furthermore two of the reverts were for vandalism of a seperate issue.

• Revert 1: Removal if an external link provided by Gamaliel. 1
• Revert 2: Removal of vandalism 2
• Revert 3: Removal of vandalism 3

Two other editors removed the same vandalism after this. 3b 3c

• Revert 4: Removal of external link put back in by Gamaliel. 4

Now you may question if it was actually vandalism, however this same user was inserting the same material into several articles along with his corresponding IP He was warned by two other editors on his talk page. In the future please do a little research before acting in haste, since removal of vandalism to a BLP is not subject to the 3RR. Arzel (talk) 01:46, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

What he was removing was not spam. Carl.bunderson has a record of edit warring and violating 3RR. He also needs to be blocked so he learns and does not repeat this type of behavior. Also, since it is a matter of opinion whether that was spam or not, both users should be blocked to be fair. StevenHarrisonJr (talk) 03:00, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Regardless, Carl.bunderson was violating 3RR as he has done in the past. He needs to be blocked so he learns his lesson for the future: that edit warring is not the way to go. Carl.bunderson is not an administrator and should be subject to all the rules that other users are subject to. I am neither of them. I am a third party and I think all three of them should be blocked for violating 3RR. All three of them need to learn a lesson here, especially Carl.bunderson who didn't learn it last time he was blocked for 3RR. StevenHarrisonJr (talk) 03:24, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

All three, but you reported only one *nod* — Athaenara ✉ 03:46, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

I reported this one because he has been blocked before and has a record of edit warring and 3RR. The other two are new users and not as aware of 3RR. Carl.bunderson set a bad example for the other two. Also, I knew that when I reported this user the other two would be blocked also. I was expecting all three to get blocked because I do not see a reason for Carl.bunderson not be blocked. He is a regular user and needs to follow the 3RR rule like everyone else. Only administrators can break the 3RR rule to revert vandalism, etc. StevenHarrisonJr (talk) 03:56, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
