I have a disagreement with EmilJ and Yopie on the article Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk  that started on 26 February, 2010. Technically they are no in violation of 3RR. However, the users has absolutely ignored the discussion on the talk page which is a very serious sign of a fundamentally uncooperative attitude to editing. Interesting also to note that EmilJ told me to "get a consensus on the talk page" on which he shows no interest to participate in discussion. --Nmate (talk) 18:03, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Comments:

Although it seems to have gone undetected until last month, this editor has been edit warring on Drum and Drum kit since 2007. Although I left a plenty-friendly warning about our EL policy and edit warring, he is unapologetic.

As you'll see at his talk page, he acknowledges that the links he's adding are to his own advertising-driven websites, and he says he won't stop "until fairness and common sense enter this picture."

These IPs could be socks or meatpuppets, as their only edits are to restore Drummer182's links:

User being reported:

The editor PiCo has engaged in an edit war to support a single POV for the Genesis creation myth article. He has consistently deleted properly referenced information in the Lead, Prologue, Philo, and Creationism sections that provide information on Jewish/Christian/Scientific research that is pertinent to this article. He has often replaced the information on Jewish/Christian/Scientific research with information of a Pro-babylonian creation myth point of view. Furthermore various editors on the talk page and in the edit comments have requested that he cease wholesale deletion of properly referenced information. PiCo’s edit war is a daily event wherein he routinely deletes whole sections often leaving the article in a state of disrepair.

 * - You have failed to provide evidence that WP:3RR was broken, your evidence for that was a series of messages left for the editor being accused. You haven't shown even a single true revert, but rather a series of content removals you object to. I suggest pursuing dispute resolution if you can't resolve this through regular discussion with the editor. --  At am a  頭 22:22, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

I utilized the revert option because this specific issue was under discussion on the talk page between user:Malke 2010 and user:happysomeone.  Before I saw a consensus reached, Malke re-inserted the questionable material AND deleted material I had added, both in the same edit.  Even though we had both tried to direct Malke to engage us on the talk board.


 * This is not an accurate description of the editing or the discussions at that time. There was also no 'consensus' reached.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: The discussion was a long messy process, proably not well suited to a Diff. Most of the discussion can be seen here: with some additional material also found here:

Comments:

First of all, I'm fairly new here, so excuse me if any of this form is not filled out correctly.

There are a good deal more reverts done within the last 24 hours (and a few more just beyond), but with the overwhelming number of his edits and how complicated and tangled things had become over the course of the last 24 hours, it has become difficult to dig them all out. If he had simply REVERTED the edits it would be easier to document, but he almost never did that, opting instead to edit the article to copy-paste the material back to the way he wanted it - erasing the contributions of other editors. Throughout the day (and to some degree beforehand as well) he showed no regard for the BRD model, or for WP:AGF in regard to our well-sourced contributions, nor did he WP:FOC, he ignored WP:EW and WP:3rr warnings regarding his boundary crossing, and engaged in seemingly evasive tactics when these issues are addressed by myself and other editors. He reverts changes made by other editors without even some kind of compromise edit that adresses some of the concerns the edit tried to address. In my own personal opinion, his presence has consistently had a negative influence on the progress of the article and the quality of the dialogue on the talk page, and I find him to be a constant NPOV concern. A review of the talk page shows that if you search for "WP:" citations, almost every single time it is either Malke himself or someone pointing out an issue to Malke. I would ask why that is. He had to be repeatedly asked to stop removing material and reverting edits and to engage in straightforward discussion by multiple editors. When I thought it was all over and that he had finally realized he needed to discuss, I see it was done again. I finally resorted to this report as essentially a last resort with the hopes that if nothing else, this process might force a realization of his behavior so that things might improve in the future, if he is allowed to continue utilizing his editing priveledges here. I truly only want what is best for the article.

 * Hello, I just saw this as Izauze has failed to notify me on my talk page. There is currently a dispute by Happysomeone and Izauze about the content of a paragraph I wrote that they keep deleting.  I will collect diffs and you will see that both Happysomeone and Izauze are well beyond 3RR as they did continous outright reverts of my edits.  My last edit was the removal of a completely false claim by Izauze that was not at all supported by the article he was citing.  Please give me the time to collect diffs.  Thanks. Malke 2010  14:01, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

There is one more diff I'd like to add. I'll be back with it in a bit. I apologize for the number of diffs but I was using the talk page.

In general, the editors on the Tea Party Movement talk page have been working well together for a long while now including myself and Happysomeone. In fact, we'd just recently amicably worked out a compromise on an edit without any problems. Izauze is new there. This section that is being edited in all these diffs was also what he called his first big contribution to Wikipedia. Malke 2010 17:43, 3 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I did not see where I was required to post the notification on his talk page. (Again, apologize for the naivite of a newcomer.)  I thought the three or four warnings and the seperate notification on the talk page would be sufficient.


 * And since it appears as if Malke 2010 is trying to shift responsibility here to the people who were trying to make him engage us on the talk page before continuing to delete material and such, I will try to narrativize the situation for clarity.


 * A number of editors were having difficulties building a sensible history section for The Tea Party Movement, as seen in the discussion here: How to make the origins more complete had been batted around, and they asked for someone to take a stab at it.  I let them know I did some digging, found some sources, and was building something I would add shortly.


 * I spent a lot of time creating the most complete, well-researched, well-sourced origins section (with 3 subsections) I could and posted the whole thing as one edit early yesterday. Recognizing the size of the contribution, I immediately started a discussion.  In this discussion Malke_2010 graciously praised my contribution.  I knew the entry was just a starting point and that many edits would occur to it, but what I did not expect that valid, sourced, significant material would be deleted repeatedly from it whole cloth in a flurry of edits from one individual.  But that's what happened.  (If you look at about 17:00 on march 2nd you'll see almost 20 Malke edits in a row ) I added this material and Malke reverted it.  Usually without discussion (until someone brought it up to HIM) flagrantly ignoring the WP:BRD model.  Occasionally, I would examine what he had deleted and try to ascertain what his objections might have been, and make changes to it in order to not lose it entirely.  (THIS is what he is referencing in some of the above DIFFs - my attempt to preserve my good faith additions through compromise edits instead of whole-cloth deletions.)  In my edit descriptions (and in happysomeones) we consistently tried to refer him to the talk page.  You can see people trying to engage his edits on the talk page here:  here:  here:  here:  here:  another editor expresses frustration here:  another Malke revert was questioned here:  (after this particular inquiry, he agreed that I could restore the information in question, and then deleted chunks of it again after I did, and reported it as one of MY supposed "reverts" above) (he is also asked to refrain from any future deletions or large changes w/o discussion (which he apparently ignores)), another editor repeats a request for a response re: his cites (which Malke again does not respond to) here:, he is warned about WP:EW edit warring and his covert revert is again questioned here:, he is again reminded not to WP:EW edit war and told that his edit was reverted (which is one of the ones he reported me for above) because it had not yet reached consensus here: , I expressed frustration about ANOTHER reverted edit here: , the other editor AGAIN asks for a response to his cites here: , he is again politely asked by another editor to use the talk page here (which i expressed agreement with): , he is again asked not to delete valid sourced information here: , another editor again asks him to respond to his points, and also reminds him of possible disregard of WP:BRD, WP:EW, and WP:3RR and reminds him to not continue skipping the consensus process, and not to ignore or evade attempts to address the issue here: , another editor reminds him to stick to the matter at hand and not attempt to divert here: ,


 * and that's just part of it in regards to this ONE section (he made additional reverts re: the Fox News section). As you can see, while things stayed generally civil in tone, it got pretty messy.  It was a real flurry of activity for a while and became hard to follow everything that was going on.


 * Yes, he was using the talk page, but he was continuing to edit and revert people's contributions (and adding material that was still in the process of consensus-building) WHILE he was partipating on the talk page. And much of that participation was diversionary.


 * He says all the editors have been working well there together. I will agree that all the editors have done a very good job of remaining civil in their dealings with Malke 2010 and everyone has maintained a generally positive tone, but his lack of adherence to guidlines and procedures is a constant issue for them as well.  As I said, almost every WP:XX site on the talk page is either directed at him or is coming from him.  He never seems to think to ask himself why that is.  That the others have tried to tolerate this and work through it is admirable, but I believe someone from the administration needs to make things more clear for him.


 * and I don't understand how he can claim that this report is part of a plot to control one paragraph of quotations he added, when ample proof of our generous and good faith attempts to find a compromise and a workable consensus that respected and addressed his concerns (despite his WP:EW)are clearly evidenced here: (as well as in the surrounding posts).


 * I think the matter will be quite clear to anyone who reviews the details of what went on yesterday in both the edits and the talk page (unfortunately it seems like a LOT to review). Hopefully it can be used to find a useful solution and both Malke 2010 and the article will benefit from it.  I definitely harbor no ill will, I just don't want him to be a disruptive force any longer.  Anything that helps achieve that is well appreciated.  Thanks. --Izauze (talk) 19:46, 3 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I did answer Happysomeone's request for a source for the Carender edit. . Happysomeone apparently had this quote confused with something else and believed it was multiple quotes run together.  I came back and provided the quote and the source on the talk page so he could see it.  Also, I note the other editors aren't here supporting claims that I don't get on well over on TPM, nor do I see diffs to support said claims. Malke 2010  20:33, 3 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I would prefer not to drag other editors into this if it's not necessary, though I'm sure if you interviewed them where they could speak freely, they would be able to provide a more long-term picture of Malke 2010's presence that would expand and illuminate my case. My own citation of this was just to notate how often people cite WP:XX to him, but if a few diffs of people's dealings with him are beneficial, I can try to provide that as well, though obviously I can't be too comprehensive in regard to everything contained in the archives and such.

here is editor Roygoldsmith informing him that it is not appropriate to delete peoples well-sourced contributions citing NPOV.

here is the same editor struggling to explain to him that contributions must be made on the basis of verifiability, not his/her opinion.

( here is Malke 2010 calling the article racist)

another editor bemoans deleted material, calling it a sad disruption.

in response, malke again calls the article racist "might want to rethink this article; it's shameful, gross, dumb, and racist", does not assume good faith, and engages in a possible personal attack.

the editor responds, reprimands him/her for his lack of good faith and personal attack

malke again calls the article racist and makes another deletion as a first resort.

An editor reponds to a malke post to remind everyone that "This entire article is obviously undergoing a complete rewrite that has completely gone off the rails re: WP:NPOV."

Editor scribner asks: No offense but it seems pretty clear that Malke2010 is an advocate of the movement and thus not in a position make impartial judgments or edits. Do we have some good impartial editors that could clean up this article and look over Malke2010's edits?

My response follows: I agree. I don't necessarily think that Malke2010 can't make valuable contributions (or that s/he hasn't already), but the repeated advocacy seems to call for some additional scrutiny.

an editor again asks Malke to focus on sources instead of his/her opinion.

The above represents only about the top 1/8th of the current talk page (not including the many archives). Malke has made no secret about his personal POV regarding how he think the movement and the reaction to it should be protrayed. Occasionally he makes additions, but all too often he simply deletes or scrubs things he doesn't like and which don't agree with his POV of events... and he does so citing WP:NPOV. As a result, the article seems to slowly become a patchwork of leftover disconnected decontextualized material he didn't feel the need to delete, and the article as a whole has suffered as a result. When discussing these disruptions he rails about his point of view of the movement, asserting it as the right view, without regard for the concept of verifiability. He doesn't seem to understand what being an impartial editor compiling information from other sources is all about. And his responses thus far have only further demonstrated to me that he is not willing to examine his own behavior, which reinforces my belief that external forces need to be applied in order to achieve a lasting result. --Izauze (talk) 21:56, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Sysops: I believe that we can resolve this issue ourselves, given enough time. There is no need to block anyone as yet.

Editors of Tea Party movement: Please gather at the Tea Party movement talk page and read the lower part of the section on Fox>Problem Sentence. We have time to resolve this. --RoyGoldsmith (talk) 22:06, 3 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually, the characterizations of me by Izauze has gone beyond the pale here. I am being attacked here.  I'm asking an admin to please rule here.  This editor is out of control and I don't appreciate the characterization of my good faith edits.  When I first arrived on the TPM page there wasn't much activity and believe me that page was in terrible shape.  The edits on the cartoons alone were fairly shocking.  My edit summaries and comments on the talk page are entirely appropriate.


 * I look at these diffs and I don't see me going on rants calling edits racist, etc. and I'm sure the admins don't either.  But the statements by Izauze are too much here and I'd like something done to stop this.  And as you can see, the characterization of me is again not backed up by diffs.  In fact, there's been every little editing on the article by me for a long time.  We've been taking this long to discuss edits. Malke 2010  22:44, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Per my understanding of the listing guidelines, I don't intend to dispute Malke2010 here. The information provided above is only to present as complete a picture I could in a straightforward manner. I do not intend to attack him or insult him as a person. --Izauze (talk) 23:17, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

- I don't see 4 or more reverts by Malke in a 24 hour period. I don't see any user talk warnings given to Malke despite what Izauze claims, or even a notice that this report was created (and yes, I checked the talk page history). The only thing I see is a big dispute on the talk page of the article, which is nothing unusual. Even in the report above, Izauze admitted that there weren't actual reverts occurring. I see nothing actionable. --  At am a  頭 22:11, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Where as my edits attempted to incorporate the changes this editor made, he preferred to completely undo everything that I had changed even though it didn't all fall under the explanation he provided for his reverts. I'll admit to regularly editing the article in question and cleaning up other people's changes, but not blindly blank things they've done without reason.

Undefeatedcooler, who is a pure single purpose account (see user contributions), has been stubbornly reverting the article for the past two week showing a pseudo-willingness for talk in his edit summaries. However, once there (see the discussion) he limited himself to asserting the same views over and over again but consistently failed to provide the repeatedly requested evidence according to Verifiability. He has already been warned of edit warring. I tried to bring in fresh views at Village pump (miscellaneous), but there he simply continued his racist tirade from the talk page:

Village pump (miscellaneous):
 * "His/Her comments approached Wikipedia:No personal attacks, Wikipedia:Etiquette. I insisted that he/she was a racist (anti-Chinese) editor." Undefeatedcooler (talk) 13:21, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Bruce Lee:
 * "“Bruce Lee was not Chinese”, that’s ridiculous. He was surely a Chinese person, I know there were a lot of anti-Chinese in America, but please put your bias and racism away." Undefeatedcooler (talk) 13:16, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * "Those were the key points for the lazy and stubborn people to read clearly. You are the one being immature, bullheaded and racist (anti-Chinese) with your insults and ignorant attitudes to this discussion page." Undefeatedcooler (talk) 14:08, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

- I see 2 reverts in a 24 hour period. The editor may be tendentious, but they've never even reached 3RR, and recently they left the page for almost 4 days before reverting again. I think there is a problem, but this noticeboard isn't for incivility reports. You might want to try WP:WQA instead. --  At am a  頭 20:56, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

See declined notice above for the development so far. I then reported Undefeatedcooler allegations of racism to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents and he received a warning by SGGH who explicitly pointed him to the need for providing evidence to his carved-in-stone views. Still, he continues to revert. I regard my reverts justified on the basis of WP:Verify what I also communicated to him.

 * (uninvolved) So where are your talkpage contribs? (just wondering...) Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 19:34, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Without removing it again, I would like to state that this is a bad faith report. I was making legitimate edits, I could see the problem with the context I was changing, so what does he do? revert me and try to pass off my edits as vandalism. I have support from another administrator that was nothing wrong with my edits. Duke53 is being disruptive, what hes done here has made a load of inapropriate bad faith reverts against me, and had he not done that then there would be no edit war on that artivcle. Routerone (talk) 19:39, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Your (routerone) edits were not vandalism. It was still edit warring. Duke53 should have left a 3RR warning about it on your userpage. In any case, it's this 3RR is moot, as Routerone began discussing things on the talk page and the article is also full-protected for a short time. In other words, there are large heaps of bad faith on both sides of this. WP:STICK applies. tedder (talk) 19:43, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Duke53 DID leave a 3RR warning on his talk page ... he deleted it. Cheers. <font face="raphael" color="green">Duke53 | Talk 20:10, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * You've admitted my edits were not vandalism, he was reverting them on the accusation that they were. Meaning, had he not bothered there would have been no conflict. I reverted him back because I saw what was doing as tedious and extremely injustified, though I will admit that was a mistake and I should have took it to an admin. Routerone (talk) 19:47, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Very clever of Routerone to include a diff of a talk page AFTER he had deleted my comments. Cheers. <font face="raphael" color="green">Duke53 | Talk 20:10, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes I did delete it, why? Because I don't believe that I should pay attention to any editor who reverts my edits for no constructive, plasubility suitble, or legitimate reason only to fulfil his dislikes against my religion (see the picture on his userpage). Anyone can slap a warning on a talkpage, but if its not for a legitimate reason, then its useless. You appeared from nowhere and reverted my legitimate edit for no good reason, passing them off as "vandalism", without even previously contributing to the article. So how can you possibly report me for edit warring? As your no-good deeds which were the cause of the problems. For if you hadn't have tried to pass my edits off as "vandalism" in a bad faith manner, I wouldn't have reverted again would I? for attempting to decieve like you did there is very inapropriate, and that is what you done to try and win the "war" (which you caused anyway), decieve. 'You did not contribute to the discussion, or like I said even edit the page previously. You simply appeared to stir up trouble, by reverting on prejudice for no good reason. So don't try and play this game with me. Routerone (talk) 20:23, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

I came across a bunch of POV edits by this user in this article which had no rationale for the edits. I restored them. Almost immediately this user made quick reverts without any discussion. I asked the editor to stop edit warring but he/she was not responsie to that and came straight back and reverted my corrections and made some erronreoud refence to wp:blp

I have started a discussion/complaint abotu this editor on the talk page, but I fear it's pointless as this user is editing under a political bias. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Rothschild_family#Complaint_about_User:Mbz1_and_his_POV_edits

Comments by NickCT

I've had issues with ths editor edit warring before. I consulted an uninvolved admin over an edit war on some talk page recently. The admin offered his advice, which I followed, then, low and behold, Mbz continues to edit war!!

Mbz, I've enjoyed some of our conversations, and you're admitidly a darn fine photographer, but you must cease acting so unilaterally when editting. Try to find the value in other peoples POVs even when they don't match yours. If you fail to do so, you will simply end up fighting, rather than cooperating to make your edits. NickCT (talk) 14:34, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * According to to that 3rr does not apply to me. I was reverting the violation of wp:blp. Om the other hand the rule does apply to User:Vexorg, who not only reverted me more than 3 times, but has done in the violation of wp:blp.--Mbz1 (talk) 14:53, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

External observations: (1) both editors seem to be clearly in violation of 3RR based on a simple observation at the article history. (2) A paragraph in question on at least one of the diffs is quite poorly written. (3) I've seen no citation for one of the fact tags added by Mbz1 (regarding Knesset donation), and it is relevant to a biography - though, not of a living person.  Jaakobou <sup style="color:#1F860E;">Chalk Talk  16:21, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I am not talking about the edit you're pointing out to. I am talking about that . Changing the section name to "Zionism" and changing ""Many Rothschilds were supporters of the State of Israel" to "Many Rothschilds were and are supporters of the State of Israel"  is the violation of WP:BLP.--Mbz1 (talk) 16:30, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * It's still not clear why you see this as a BLP violation, at least not to me. Are you saying that the category is inappropriate and if so how ? Does the and are fail WP:V compliance ? Is it inaccurate in some way ? Is the category/title being applied too broadly to the entire family given that many weren't supporters of Zionism ? Is it offensive in some way from your perspective ? What's wrong with someone supporting Zionism and wiki categorising them as a Zionist or using the term as a section heading ? Many people are proud to call themselves as Zionists so it's not at all clear to me why you would edit war over this and regard it as a BLP violation. <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 4px 1px 3px;white-space:nowrap"> Sean.hoyland  - talk 16:38, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * It does mot matter, if somebody is proud or ashamed to be called a Zionist. If you'd bother to read the section, you will see "Many Rothschilds were supporters of the State of Israel, although other members of the family opposed the creation of the state.". This one sentence is enough to see how adding the article to Zionism category and changing the section's name is a violation of WP:BLP. BTW the word "many" should be changed to "some"--Mbz1 (talk) 17:23, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

I also read the source cited in the article which says "And the family split over the question of the dream of a Jewish homeland, with some members supporting the first Zionist settlement in Palestine and the Balfour declaration and others opposing it on the grounds that it would encourage anti-Semites to question the existing national identities of assimilated Jews around the rest of the world." So, based on the source and the section in the article where is the BLP violation ? It seems to me that what you are actually saying is that the category/title is being applied too broadly to the entire family given that many they were split over their support for Zionism. If so, that isn't a BLP violation, it's a categorization error/dispute (that I happen to agree is probably too broad). You can't justify disruptively edit warring over things like that on the grounds of BLP. <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 4px 1px 3px;white-space:nowrap"> Sean.hoyland  - talk 17:49, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I sure can. Here's a real life story: Once Conjoined twins were involved in a car accident, which has resulted in an injury or even a death of another person. The twin, who was driving, was guilty in the accident, but the judge refused to put him to jail, in order not to put there his innocent brother. For some people, who are not Zionist to be called a Zionist is a big offense, and very defamatory. To name the section that is talking about living persons, who are not Zionists "Zionism" is wp:POV, and is a violation of WP:BLP--Mbz1 (talk) 18:02, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Comments by Vexorg 1  -- There was no violation of WP:BLP by having the section entitled Zionism or the category Zionism. Even though some of the Rothshilds may have opposed the creation of Israel the family has broadly been Zionist supporters. They were the agents between the Zionist Federation and the British government ( Arthur Balfour in particular it seems ) in 1917 and 1919 ) and members of the family paid fore the Knesset and Israeli supreme court buildings, etc,etc - Suport of Zionism is notable within the Rothshild family and therefore completely appropriate to entitled the section Zionism,and add the Zionism category, even if not all members of the family supported the creation of Israel. WP:BLP should be applied however on a case by case on articles of individual members of this family. Vexorg (talk) 17:57, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Comments by Vexorg 2  - There seems to be some personal agenda against me by the user Mbz1 - I may have unwittingly upset upset him/her at [Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Jewish Nobel Prize Winners] ‎- FURTH adn very concerning is this user's almost obsessive arguments here which have appeared sine last night -- [[http://en.wikipedia.org


 * What an absurd suggestions. Quite a few people voted to delete it, so why is my "personal agenda" applies only to Vexorg?--Mbz1 (talk) 18:04, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

External observation (extended): (1) I'm not aware of the history of discussions over this but if Vexorg is promoting contested changes in this manner over an extended period, then it adds to the gravity of his current violation. (2) Also, I agree that "and are" counts as a real BLP concern. (3) Words like 'many' and 'some' are among WP:WTA.  Jaakobou <sup style="color:#1F860E;">Chalk Talk  18:16, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't see any problem with the section title being Zionism or Support of Israel or various other perfectly sensible titles. I don't think it's a problem having the Zionism category but I can see that someone could legitimately object on the grounds that it places the entire family into a set when members of that family are not actually members of that set. On the other hand categories are primarily about helping people find information so in that sense having the category helps. The bottomline is that it's not BLP related, it's just a simple content dispute or it should be and there will be differences in opinion. There's no reason to edit war over it. There is no excuse for not sorting it out on the talk page. <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 4px 1px 3px;white-space:nowrap"> Sean.hoyland  - talk 18:25, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Yes, I've seen them. The 'are' statements don't comply with WP:V. Neither did the statements before the edits were made. It's a content dispute. It's about complying with policy and finding consensus. Those edits are significantly less troublesome than your comment "Well, at least you got blocked fighting for the right cause!". If I were an admin I would have blocked you on sight for that remark. You need to calm down, stop throwing serious accusations around like they are candy, talk to Vexorg and try to work it out with him and other editors.

On what grounds? What will be the block reason? What policy did I violate.

 * The way the report is formatted is hard to see exactly what is going on but if one editor is warring then both editors are warring, one editor is adding that the rochchild family are Zionists and the other is changing the wording, I am shock to find out that the rothchilds are Zionists and I have got this far through my life and I have never heard the rothchilds called that. Off2riorob (talk) 22:06, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I didn't add the Rothschilds are Zionists. The section was called Zionism for a long long time. I simply restored the section title and category. A section title or category does not imply that all Rothschilds are Zionists. it means as a family they have notably been involved with Zionism. I respectfully suggest you do some research if you have never heard of any Zionist Connection to the Rothschild.

 * A silly edit war over how to arrange the genres. Babyjazspanail seems to be a good faith editor, and I know from my interactions with Candyo32 that s/he is. However, 9 reverts(!!!) is not acceptable behavior here. – Chase  ( talk ) 20:35, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Not so sure how to do this, sorry if I'm doing it wrong. I went to their talk page and we did talk about it but after a while I stopped getting a reply. I know it is pretty silly but I thought it was improving the article and reverting it wasn't. One time I saw a user get warned for trying to talk about it on on a user's talk page and said it's suppose to be talked out in edit summaries, I thought I was doing the right thing. I'm really confused about the whole thing myself. --Babyjazspanail (talk) 20:48, 7 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Just to note that neither editor has reverted since I gave them a 3RR warning, and I think that Babyjazspanail's claimed ignorance of policy rings true. If this stays stopped, I would recommend taking no further action.&mdash;Kww(talk) 20:46, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm rather torn on what should be done. It does appear as if the editors are done warring, as you have noted, but the last revert was only 40 minutes ago, and nine reverts is well over WP:3RR. – Chase  ( talk ) 20:52, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

User being reported:

No 3RR violation (yet), but this user is certainly edit warring with multiple other editors on this article. The diffs list below demonstrate continued deletions to just one section which have been reverted by numerous different editors. Other sections on the same article have also been deleted multiple times by this user as well.

User:Bookew was asked multiple times to discuss his edits on the articles talk page - which he ignored until after several edit/revert cycles with other editors, and the article was semi-protected to prevent continued disruption by him. After the semi-protection expired, Bookew continued edit warring as though nothing had happened - despite the consensus on the article's talk page being against him; it's unlikely that further semi-protection would help much.

Special:Contributions/Bookew shows that this user account was only created recently, and it looks like a WP:SPA.

The fact is that Factsontheground is a very problematic user. On Wikipedia for less then a year, he has already been blocked three times, twice for edit-warring.. While edit-warring, he finds himself the subject of an ANI discussion because he removed another's comments at the talkpage. In summation, what the edit-warring and ANI thread indicate that Factsontheground has a fundamental misconception of what Wikipedia is all about: He thinks it's only his facts that count.-- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 16:53, 7 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Brewcrewer is being purposefully deceptive with those diffs. The first two diffs are not reverts to previous states of the article, they are new material, and they are not even related to the same material! The first diff is a restructure of the article, the second diff is an addition of sourced reviews. These are not undoing the actions of any editor, since they are entirely new material that I discussed on the talk page before adding to the article. So the first two do not count.
 * And in the interests of compromise I will self-revert my last change: . So the last (5th) diff at 3:22 shouldn't count since I have reverted it myself.
 * So the first two are not reverts and the last diff I self reverted. This leaves two real reverts (#3 & #4), and I have no intention of modifying the article in the near future. Blocking me for edit warring is unnecessary at this point.
 * Also note that no warnings were given by Brewcrewer, and no attempts were made to communicate either on my talk page or the article talk page. There have been no attempts to resolve the issue on the talk page by Brewcrewer or Gilisa. The first and only proper communication I had from Brewcrewer was that he had filed this report. This is purely a cynical attempt to "catch me out" and not to improve the article in question.
 * Brewcrewer has been edit warring on the exact same article, along with Gilisa, and has refused to explain his changes on the talk page.
 * I have gone over all my changes in depth on the talk page, and have yet to be answered by Brewcrewer or Gilisa (who told me to "Discuss it with myself") who nonetheless repeatedly revert my changes.
 * Gilisa has been extremely uncivil towards me, bordering on personal attacks. Gilisa's edit summary, refusing to discuss my changes: "You discuss it with yourself Factsontheground-revert highely bias editinig". Another of Gilisa's edit summaries: "I do not accept your editing anyway." This shows a lack of civility and a good faith attempt to cooperate. At the same time there has been a complete refusal to discuss any changes with me on the talk page from both Gilisa and Brewcrewer.
 * A good faith attempt to ask Brewcrewer why he was removing masses of sourced material from the article in question received this response from Brewcrewer: Peanut chews are my favorite. This shows a cynical lack of interest in discussion as well as a complete lack of civility.
 * Also, I haven't been the only one defending these changes in that article. User:Mick gold is also adding the same material as I am and being reverted by Brewcrewer.
 * Brewcrew is also lying about the subject of the WP:ANI. I did not remove someone's comments, I struck them through because they were purposefully misleading a discussion. Once I was advised about the specifics of policies, I removed the strikethrough and the issue was resolved for everyone, except Brewcrewer, apparently.

Factsontheground(talk) 17:03, 7 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I want to join to Brewcrewer request. I must tell there is nothing that Brewcrewer is doing along with me as Factsontheground suggested. Factsontheground made some huge edits in an article (on a controversial issue anyway). I reverted him/her and then he/she reverted me. When I tried to alert him to that he have to get consensus first . After he revrted again he wrote in the edit suammary that he/she already discuss it, refering to the fact that he merely wrote what were his/her edits on the talk page. I admit that here I was abit too hasty to accuse him on removing something he didn't, but it change nothing in the whole picture. I also asked him on his talk page to cease from this manner of editing here  (he deleted immediately my comment on his talk page and added sarcastic applying to my bad English) -when I warn him again here -he provoke me to complain and by that "to knock myself out".--Gilisa (talk) 17:19, 7 March 2010 (UTC)


 * "..Also, if you check the 3rd diff you can see Gilisa's edit summary: "You discuss it with yourself Factsontheground-revert highely bias editinig. Have no intention to get to edit war". This shows what I've been dealing with here, a complete refusal to discuss any changes with me on the talk page from both Gilisa and Brewcrewer..." If you follow the correspondence between me and Factsontheground you will find his assertions baseless -he completely took it out of contxt, his edit summary, which precede this of mine, point to that he "already discuss" his edits on the talk page -I only replied him in the summary he quoted-namley, wrote that he "discussed" it with himself (which is a fact) and anyway, you can see that I further discussed with him on the talk page after this correspondence was made. And If I recall correctly, Mick Gold don't realy have something to do with that-and any way, Factsontheground was very far from having consensus.--Gilisa (talk) 17:56, 7 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I also would like to join Brewcrewer request, altough on the other hand I believe the user causes much less harm while edit warring on the subject he has not enough knoledge about versus writing articles of conspiracy theories. :)--Mbz1 (talk) 17:31, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I do not know anything of the background of Factsontheground. I know that today I started to edit article on book The Invention of the Jewish People. I thought that the material added by Factsontheground was valid, I did not experience his behaviour as disruptive. I think that there is a differemce of opinion about this book between Factsontheground, on the one hand, and Gilisa and Brewscrewer, on the other hand. Mick gold (talk) 17:43, 7 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Mick, It's not about opinions-it's about article owenship, at the least. You didn't experience it as we did because this changes were in agreement, or in some kind of agreement, with you-so it's possible that naturaly you were less sensitive to notice there being disruptive.--Gilisa (talk) 17:56, 7 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Factsontheground, let's wait all for the adminstrators desicions -quoting me out of context and adding half trues in bold text would change nothing. I wrote that I don't accept your changes anyway (which were mostly, and in essence all, on the structure of the article and not on new facts, reliable sources and etc) after you wa the one who don't realy show any will to discuss-you first edited in disruptive manner, and then, hardly, discussed it.--Gilisa (talk) 19:02, 7 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Additional Comment: Factsontheground is also currently the subject of two different ANI threads: Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents on a project page and Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.-- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 20:05, 7 March 2010 (UTC)


 * That's a misrepresentation Brewcrewer. Factsontheground is not the subject of the second ANI report you linked to. Off-wiki canvssing is. That another editor speculated it might be FOTG (with no proof, I might add is a colossal failure of AGF) and you responded by posting diffs to the other ANI report and this edit-warring report proves only that you seem fixated upon him.
 * I'd note that FOTG is corrrect in stating that the first two diffs listed here are not reverts. There is no 3RR violation here. Brewcrewer seems to have nothing better to do today than to pick on FOTG. His energy is probably better spent elsewhere, if his intention is to actually improve this encyclopedia.  T i a m u t talk 20:23, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Tiamut, you are aware that breaking 3RR is not necessary to constitute edit warring, right? And consistent edit warring is not indicative of a desire to contribute positively to the encyclopedia. Breein1007 (talk) 20:33, 7 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, I'm well aware of that. However, I would note that FOTG self-reverted his third revert, leaving only two reverts at issue here. IMHO, that indicates a recognition tht edit-warring is bad and a sensitivity to not wanting to perpetuate them. That he's participated amply in talk, both at the article talk page, and on the talk pages of user pages involved (and got blown off by Brewcrewer), is evidence that he's willing to discuss as well. The 3RR board is not for revenge, its for ongoing disruption, and I just don't see that here.  T i a m u t talk 21:22, 7 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Tiamut, I think you realy miss the point-the issue is not if Factsontheground is currently the subject of two additional ANI or only one-even if it may have relevance in a case that the administrators will decide to put sanctions against him. Till today I had no acquaintanceship with all of the involved here. You, on the other hand, seem to be regular advocator of Factsontheground. Correct me if I'm wrong.--Gilisa (talk) 20:43, 7 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I've only really become acquainted with FOTG over the last week or so after I objected to a posting made by User:Avraham at three different project pages characterizing him as an editor of concern (without providing any diffs). Looking into his edits led me to discover that Avi had speedy deleted an article FOTG had created, and I negotiated between them to come up with a satisfactory resolution that allowed for the articles' recreation without offending either one of them I think. :::::I think FOTG's is a good faith editor who is still learning about how Wikipedia works. I also think you are a good faith editor Gilisa (from what I've seen). I think you two just need to settle down and try to respect each other viewpoints a little better. Its a little frustrating to see all your edits reverted, just as it is frustrating to see an article you are working on changed all of sudden. Working together with more understanding of each other's perspectives would help, no?  T i a m u t talk 21:22, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Tiamut, I realy appreciate your kind words-but I again in disagreement with you. I've no problem to see others point and even if I'm not allways easy is issues I see of high importance(as like many editors), many times I compromise (my prefer solution). The relevant aricle is naturally hard nut and while my edits were reverted twice, not by Factsontheground if I recall it right, I ceased editing immediately after the second revert-focused only on trying to reach consensus on the talk page. Factsontheground edits were not directly connected to those of mine, but he did them blatently, without showing any genuine will to discuss about the mass edits he made. He ignored my personal appeals, asking him to respect WP:CONSENSUS and showed bad faith when in his edit summary he depreciatingly mocked my English skills. It seems like he felt comfortable and protected to do every thing that cross his mind-and sometimes even to behave like he intend to provoke. Also, it is not that he got to edit war because sources or information were missing/unreliable or etc, it's just it seem that he had certain opinion about how the article should look like and consensus just doesn't was in his interests.--Gilisa (talk) 21:47, 7 March 2010 (UTC) Just to add proper disclosure: I now recall that I reverted Factsontheground once if I'm not mistaken. Also, my edits were reverted twice by two different users. However, Tiamut, I engaged the talk page instead of starting edit war-while the aforementioned always brandished he want discussion but show no real intention to get to one. More, when I think on it now-he took my words out of context based on small errors in my English-as it's very salient in his response here, I find it important to add this information.--Gilisa (talk) 06:57, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Result - Warned. Since Factsontheground undid his last change, it is not necessary to block him to stop an edit war. Nonetheless he exceeded 3RR on 7 March, and he is flying very close to the edge. If he returns to this article to make similar changes, without getting consensus first on the Talk page, admins may be quicker to act. EdJohnston (talk) 15:48, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: Talk:Art_Deco

Comments: The conflict is very simple: a new user would like to have a different image at the top of the Art Deco page, one that he feels is superior, and I disagree. The new editor has been using his logged-in username and his anon IP address to edit the article and to discuss on the talk page, so I have submitted this report on both accounts. Binksternet (talk) 23:18, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Very true! I have been sloppy and not logged in properly. I will try to be much more careful.

Unfortunately Binksternet went into the edit as he/she belives the old one is better. I will probably not care about this (or any Wikipedia contribution whatsoever) anymore, if little people are allowed to rule by mere persistence, instead of trying to reach some concensus. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Carl Milles (talk • contribs) 22:36, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Well. I will not make any contributions to the English Wikipedia any more as people such as Binksternet are allowed to rule by pure persistence.

 * You are surprisingly fast. Anyway, all are reverts made in much less than 24 hours. In any case, he didn't try to achieve consensus and verged, if not exceed, with article ownership. I informed him that his manner of editing is disruptive before he violated the 3rr. And I encourge you to count from the begining, I don't have three reverts, only two, while he have four. --Gilisa (talk) 20:32, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

 * This issue is already closed but just for the sake of good order: it's not a three revert. It is my first edit that was discussed on the talk page few hours before the edit was taken. --Gilisa (talk) 08:18, 9 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, the first "revert" was an original edit; the others were an attempt to prevent a POV reversion of this. I have discussed this at length on the article talk page, and have carefully explained the reasoning behind my edit. RolandR (talk) 20:38, 8 March 2010 (UTC)


 * No you didn't, you replied on the talk page only after the last revert you made on my edits. You didn't show any realy intent to discuss. I, on the other hand informed about my first edit much before it was done-here-and you reverted my edit about two hours after it was made. Which mean it's a revert and not merely first edit.--Gilisa (talk) 20:45, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * My first edit was not a reversion. I didn't restore the text you removed; indeed, I agree with you that the words "by some" should be removed, and have not replaced them. RolandR (talk) 20:55, 8 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Pardon? Please read this from the begining - I sepcifically informed on my intent to remove the words "by some" and to leave there only the word "controversial" and only after then I did it (This edit was according to the reference). You changed it in purpose to change the meaning and it can be learned from the correspondence on the talk page and in the edit summaries. Typically in your style of edits as I was impressed, you didn't discuss them first. It can be seen here that your first edit was certainly with intent to change the meaning-so it's a revert, even if you didn't restore the original words (with which it seem, unlike you wrote here, you agreed before and after you engaged into edit warring (e.g., you wrote that you changed from controversial only to "has been described as controversial" because you don't think the book is controversial, ignored sources on one hand and challnged me to prove my proven and sourced assertion with sources on the other hand). In your last revert (of Kuratowski's Ghost) you removed without hesitation and discussion (even he posted on the talk page before his editing) a statement that was supported by 5 valid and reliable sources and restore to your own disputed version --Gilisa (talk) 21:13, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Result - Protected five days. Is this really a revert war over a single sentence? Are people hair-splitting over the reverts? Did a person who has three reverts just report a person who has four reverts for edit-warring? Please! Three reverts is not an entitlement, and you are both warring. Since there are plenty of editors on this article, you could easily have started a discussion on the talk page with three or more people to sort this out. RolandR's first edit is technically a revert because it removes some words that were previously in the article. EdJohnston (talk) 02:21, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Recommend any admin look at the whole picture. Karunyan is basically running around randomly reverting my edits purely because I reverted his "contribution" to the InuYasha character list.. A second editor also reverted him when he tried again. Among his reverts include a restoration of vandalism by the Bambifan101 sock puppet. with a summary of "Just trollin'." and reverting a consensus approved merge (which another editor reverted This claims of reverts above are also bull. The first is from the second and was clearly vandalism. Being totally WP:POINTy and trying to get revenge (or by his own edit summary, "Just trollin'."). Was left a note about his childish behavior on his talk page, which resulted in his filing this BS report and doing more reverts. -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 03:25, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

 * If you look at the edit history of the article in question, you will see that the alleged "reverts" are in fact revisions to accomodate objections by John Asfukzenski, such as creating a new "Criticism" section and adding references to establish that the material in question does not violate WP:Tabloid. If anybody's violating the spirit of WP:3RR here, it's John Asfukzenski. Please also note that John Asfukzenski did not notify me of this report, per the instructions above.

Result - 24h to Groupthink for edit-warring and tendentious editing. I believe that both Groupthink and Asfukzenski are in trouble with 3RR, but the latter has been trying to tone down some of the language that might be considered extreme in a BLP, such as calling Franks 'an ultra-conservative Republican' in the lead of the article. That sounds like editorializing in Wikipedia's voice. Groupthink also changed 'conservative' to 'paleoconservative' for Pat Buchanan, which sounds like POV-pushing. Since John's reverts may be covered by the WP:BLP exemption, only Groupthink is being sanctioned. EdJohnston (talk) 22:01, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

 * See Tannhauser Gate history

This is a rather different type of conflict. Two editors keep reverting sourced content, then template Michael C Price everytime he re-adds it back (with explanations, sources, etc...). The content is both legitimate, sourced, and they just won't have any of it. Discussion is impossible (see User talk:Magnius, which followed the blanking of his userpage after we tried talking to him, and see User talk:Michael C Price as well).

Comments:

My request isn't in the form of the usual 3RR request, since I don't really know what exactly this falls under. Warnings for Magnius and RepublicanJacobite might be enough to force them to engage in productive discussions. Or maybe the routine 24 hour 3RR block is enough. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 16:57, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Edit warring is more general than 3RR. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 17:07, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

 * If you check the links, you'll see this was directly raised with the editors themselves and the result was being ignored, and threatened with bans. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 17:14, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm really just mostly wondering why no discussion on the talk page has occurred since May 24 of last year. It seems odd.  I don't know the full history here (give me 15 minutes), but I know things should be discussed before edit-warring occurs... Doc9871 (talk) 17:18, 9 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment. This is absurd. I gave Michael Price one warning, which was for 3RR, a warning he earned.  I never gave him any other warning.  Furthermore, there have been no edits, by anyone, in regard to that matter in 3 days.  The most recent round of reverts, in the last 24 hours or so, are in regard to another piece of trivia in the pop. culture section.  Do these matters need to be discussed on the talk page?  Certainly.  Have we been remiss in not doing so?  Yes.  But, this is not a matter that needs to be addressed at ANI, especially considering that you never made any attempt to discuss this with any of the three of us before making this report. ---<font face="Georgia"> RepublicanJacobite  The'FortyFive'  17:26, 9 March 2010 (UTC)


 * The problem seems one of civility re WP:DTTR, coupled with a shot-first attitude.  User:Magnius's only mode of communication seems to be templating editors in this and a number of other articles. (I picked up a template for adding a citation request to a contested claim, and then another when I actually sourced the claim with a book reference.)  Others have complained about Magnius on his talk page (which he blanked as soon as I added my complaint). Such behaviour sours the atmosphere generally and does not improve content. --Michael C. Price talk 21:58, 9 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment. Following up on what I said earlier. My first revert in two days was reverting an addition by an IP editor, which was then reverted by Michael C. Price. So the "facts" as presented by Headbomb are a blatant distortion, and he's managed to leave out his own edit warring, since one revert is now classed as edit warring.  This is a content dispute over pop culture cruft of doubtful relevance in an article already bloated with such material.  Headbomb's approach here, though, has not been helpful, including leaving a message on my talk page, then deleting it, realizing he had the wrong editor.  At any point, he could have started a discussion on the article's talk page.  Why didn't he, given his concerns? ---<font face="Georgia"> RepublicanJacobite  The'FortyFive'  01:29, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Result - Declined. This is intended to be an edit-warring complaint, but it's too hard to follow. How can admins verify that someone is going against the talk page consensus when there is nothing about the dispute on the talk page? I attach some concern to the edits by Michael C. Price; I do not see where that he obtained consensus for the changes he is repeatedly trying to make at Tannhauser Gate.  Perhaps he should take the first step and ask for opinions on the article's Talk page. EdJohnston (talk) 03:52, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

 * My reverts were made with valid edit summaries. I didn't have anything else to add to my point on the talk page. On the other hand, Factsontheground repeatedly reverted a series of my edits, while only addressing his concerns with 1 of them. More specifically, here are the diffs:  - not only is Factsontheground also edit warring (ie: it takes two to tango), but he is also making blanket reverts without even so much as mentioning a hint of reasoning. His edit summary mentioned his belief that the source is not reliable, which I disagree with. But in his revert, he also hid the reinsertion of inappropriate material about Baruch Goldstein that violates WP:UNDUE and WP:OR. Breein1007 (talk) 04:25, 10 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Here's my take on the issue. Factsontheground removed some paragraphs attributed to an op-ed on March 7th, and opened a discussion on the talk page on the same day. Breein1007 didn't join that discussion, but reverted Factsontheground's changes three days later, in addition to removing part of a sentence about Baruch Goldstein. Factsontheground sent Breein1007 a message on his talk page about why he made a change he did, and asked Breein1007 to join the discussion on the article talk page, then reverted Breein1007's changes. Breein1007 deleted the message from his talk page, with an edit summary of "no thanks"., and reverted Factsontheground, complaining that Factsontheground had reverted several edits.
 * As far as I can tell, Factsontheground made a fairly good attempt at starting a discussion on both the article talk page, and Breein1007's talk page. Breein1007 stated that he didn't want to discuss the issue. Breein1007 complained that Factsontheground reverted multiple edits, which is true. However, the only difference between Breein1007's multiple edits and his revision of Factsontheground was a few words in one sentence. He could have very easily just redone the changes to that one sentence, and joined in the discussion on the talk page, but instead he reverted en masse too. This started an edit war.
 * Rather than edit warring on this issue, the opinion piece cited, written by "a PhD student in geography at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem", should have been taken to WP:RSN. It seems to me either of you could have (and should have) done that before edit warring. But it's also pretty clear that Factsontheground at least attempted to discuss the issue (twice), while Breein1007 refused. ← George <small style="color:#dc143c;">talk 05:01, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * In terms of the talk page discussion, it is true that I did not see the post until after I reverted. However, upon reading the post and then checking the article, there was nothing I had to add to the talk page that I didn't say in my edit summary. In terms of my talk page, I would have been glad to treat Factsontheground's message seriously, had he not decided to use a template to give me a bogus warning. I can't take "invitations to discussions" like that seriously. I wouldn't think WP:RSN is needed here, but I suppose that would be a better route than edit warring.

 * If I might make a suggestion Breein1007, why not self revert, re-add the change to the Baruch Goldstein sentence, and ask if that op-ed is a reliable source at WP:RSN? ← George <small style="color:#dc143c;">talk 05:12, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * That is a fair suggestion. I will consider it... even though I still don't think that I should be the one expected to bring sources to WP:RSN if Factsontheground is the one removing information that as of now is properly sourced in the article. Breein1007 (talk) 05:16, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Sources aren't RS by default. Isn't the editor who wants to use a source supposed to establish reliability prior to use ? <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 4px 1px 3px;white-space:nowrap"> Sean.hoyland  - talk 05:20, 10 March 2010 (UTC)..unless it's obviously reliable. <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 4px 1px 3px;white-space:nowrap"> Sean.hoyland  - talk 05:22, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Per WP:V, "The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material." ← George <small style="color:#dc143c;">talk 05:29, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

I did take this issue to WP:RSN some hours ago. If you want to argue for Frantzman's supposed expertise, Breein1007, there is the place to do it. And as George and Sean have noted, the burden of proof rests upon those who want to add material not those who want to remove it. You really need to self-revert and engage in discussion if you don't want to appear to be edit warring. By the way, Zero0000, an editor who knows a lot about I-P historical matters has posted a good comment debunking Frantzman's claims -. Indeed, to anyone familiar with the history of the region the Frantzmans claims are ridiculous nonsense. Factsontheground (talk) 07:17, 10 March 2010 (UTC)


 * The Jerusalem Post is considerd RS, that's can explain much.--Gilisa (talk) 14:49, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * But a blog in a newspaper is a RS for only the blogger's opinion, not for historical fact. Jezhotwells (talk) 17:59, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm going to be completely frank here. Earlier today I had basically come to the conclusion that I should simply leave the issue alone and allow the information to be removed from the article, even though I completely disagree that the source is unreliable. I was for all intents and purposes prepared to give up on this issue because I didn't want this edit war to continue. However, the case has developed on WP:RSN (by the way, I appreciate that Factsontheground brought the matter there - I didn't know that he did until he mentioned it here). There is no clear consensus at this point about the reliability of the source, and the discussion is ongoing. As such, I will not give up on the issue until a final decision is reached on WP:RSN. That said, I won't continue edit warring, even though Factsontheground's version is currently in place on the article as a result of his own edit warring (as well as another editor who joined in). If WP:RSN comes to the conclusion that the source is reliable, I will be reinserting the information into the article unless another editor beats me to it. Breein1007 (talk) 21:05, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Result - No action. Breein1007's comments might be interpreted by some as an intention to edit war, because there is no indication he intends to get consensus before re-adding the Frantzman material to the article. Since this has not yet happened, no action is yet appropriate. Breein1007  has already been notified of the Israel/Palestine Arbcom case. If edit warring resumes, this article may be protected, or editors who revert without getting consensus on the Talk page may be blocked. EdJohnston (talk) 04:40, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

 * While I am accepting the warning, I would like to point out that only 5, 6, and 7 constitute actual reverts. In all other cases, I posted more in response to a conversation the other user had blanked on their page, while continuing on my own. If you look at the contents of the other edits, they all include new messages continuing an existing conversation. Those edits, 1-4, are not reverts. Technically speaking, by the diffs, shown, I do not have more than three reverts. I would also like to say that I am more familiar with Memory Alpha's policies and ways of doing things, where warnings are not to be removed by the user being warned. --OuroborosCobra (talk) 20:38, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * You might want to check out the Wikipedia, not MA, definition of edit warring before relying to heavily on your definition above. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:42, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Again, I am accepting the warning on edit warring, but I have also been accused of violating the three revert rule. I have not done so, I have not, by the Wikipedia definition, had more than three reverts within 24 hours. Four of the edits accused of being reverts are not. --OuroborosCobra (talk) 20:46, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * 3RR was actually never intended to be for talk pages, despite there being no technical wording to state that in policy. It was meant to avoid content warring, not to prevent people from deleting or restoring discussions. If this really is being considered edit warring and 3RR violation, both warring parties should be warned. But if it's not an actual 3RR violation and rather just being called that in a desperate attempt to do something about the reverting, it would be better to simply inform OuroborosCobra that users are generally given the right to end discussions on their own talk pages, and that he should generally respect that. <font face="Century Gothic"> Equazcion ( talk ) 21:01, 10 Mar 2010 (UTC)
 * Equazcion, since you're specifically allowed in policy to blank everything you want from your talk page except declined unblock requests, there are no grounds to block both parties here. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 21:03, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

 * It is unfortunate that all this user does is edit war, over and over and over again. I haven't looked at the Bush article stuff, but re: Clinton, this thing is a minor news blurb about one section of the presidents SOTU address.  It is completely out of place in a section that is summarizing major pieces of legislation, policy initiatives, etc... Tarc (talk) 20:53, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I have been slowly trying to remove this information for over a month now. Mostly on my own, and always careful to never make more than 3 reverts on a page a day. I knew that it was a matter of time before this user went over 3 reverts. All he/she seems to want to do is add random information, and thinks that as long as its cited, its okay. It finally took an extra pair of eyes to see what was happening. I didn't want to take it to a notice board, until he/she really did something worth mentioning, and I didn't want to try and get others involved, for fear of being accused of canvasing.--Jojhutton (talk) 21:04, 10 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I was not citing praise of Bush (please read news artlcles cited), and how one can infer that is beyond me, especially considering future actions against Iraq that occured? What's more, apparently JamesMLane doesn't support Bush, while Jojhutton does. So one news item can be interpreted differently by people of different political views.


 * I was merely citing two front page New York Times news items (escalation by bombing beyond "no fly" zone), that considering future events is significant. Also the opinions about the raids on Iraq was from a reliable source (i.e., NY Times).


 * Only real question: Should someone researching the presidency of Bush be aware that Bush ordered this raid within 30 days of becoming president?--[User:cgersten] (talk)tuco_bad 01:26, 11 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Result - 48 hours. Block can be lifted or shortened if the editor will agree to follow our policies. He has been unusually persistent in his warring at Foreign policy of the George W. Bush administration. He seems unaware that caution is needed on high-profile articles, especially for someone like himself who appears to have limited knowledge of our policies. Since this report was filed, he has moved on to Presidency of Bill Clinton and has already made two reverts there. EdJohnston (talk) 16:34, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Comments: I have responded to YellowMonkey's and Shii's requests for more reliable sources in the section of the article being fought over. I have flagged two lines with "citation needed" to give Truthbody an opportunity to provide references, since he was the one to put them in there in the first place.

This edit |here by YellowMonkey not only took out the two lines with citations needed, but also removed my sourced statements from third-party sources (e.g., Waterhouse, Spanswick).

YellowMonkey appears to be one of Wikipedia's more established editors, so I'm surprised he's not more willing to discuss things on the talk page.

 * YM is talking about me on his talk page, but not with me (e.g., "Well, regardless, he's plugged a bunch of self-serving info from self-sources"); you'll notice he did not respond to me directly. Specifically, I asked him to explain why Waterhouse and Spanswick are, in his view, self-published and non-idependent sources. I asked that he bring this discussion to the article's talk page, where everyone contributing to the article can participate; most editors wouldn't even know there was a 'discussion' going on at his user page.

User:Tom harrison, an administrator, full protected the article and began a straw poll on two versions of the article.  During that straw poll, two editors of the article opposed to the version proposed by UberCryxic were blocked.  The administrator, Tom harrison, characterized the block as "a (successful) campaign" to get the two editors in question (see here), invalidated the straw poll, and unprotected the page.  UberCryxic declared victory (apparently the "vote" at the time of invalidation was 11-7 for his version) and was rather sharply reprimanded by User:Bigtimepeace for his comments here.

Comments: User has ownership  issues with this   article and is ostensibly asking for help yet rejecting any edits that   do not agree with her pro-Israel agenda. She is cherry picking quotes that support her point of view and removing any quotes that are balanced or neutral.

She is also removing important, sourced facts from the article that do not  support his agenda, such as that RFK was 22 at the time of his trip  and  only spent several weeks in Palestine.

I would also like to note  that Mbz1 has a serious problem in the way she treats Wikipedia  as a   battlefield. As this  edit shows she seems to believe he is "fighting for a cause" and not   merely writing an encyclopedia. It may not be relevant here, but she has  been extremely uncivil towards me in the past    and other Palestinian users such as.

Amazingly,  Mbz1 has even removed such objective, important information as the dates that RFK was in Palestine simply because they don't further her agenda. This user really needs to improve their understanding of  neutrality on Wikipedia. Factsontheground (talk) 07:30, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

User:Factsontheground reported by User:Debresser (Result: Warned)

User being reported:

User:Factsontheground added a piece of information to Cave of the Patriarchs massacre in this edit of March 7. I have removed it since, and Factsontheground has insisted on restoring it a few times, as can be seen in the edit history of the article. On March 9, I opened a section about this issue on the talk page, where I and others have argued against inclusion of this piece of information. Factsontheground refuses to accept the fact that consensus is in disagreement with his opinion, and in this edit of March 13 has again added it (albeit in shortened form).


 * 1st edit:
 * 2nd edit:
 * 3rd edit:
 * 4th edit:

I have asked Factsontheground to accept that consensus disagrees with him, both in the talk page discussion, and on his talk page as well. 

Note: this is not a case of 3RR, but of general edit warring.

Desired outcome: a warning to Factsontheground to avoid edit warring and to restrict himself to consensus edits. Debresser (talk) 20:44, 13 March 2010 (UTC) Debresser (talk) 18:28, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Result - Factsontheground is warned. He insists on adding a passage claiming that in 2010, a group of Jews celebrated Baruch Goldstein's mass murder of Palestinians in 1994. Though he did not exceed 3RR, Factsontheground should be aware that Ynetnews says "A video obtained by Ynet depicts Jewish residents of east Jerusalem's Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood during their Purim celebrations singing songs of praise for Baruch Goldstein", without commenting on its veracity. The Jerusalem Post merely said that "a video was circulating on the internet." I hope he does not take these reports as a ringing endorsement that the events narrated in the video actually took place. At Talk:Cave of the Patriarchs massacre,  editors speculate that the video has been faked since the people singing are never shown on camera. Since Factsontheground does not have consensus for his change, he may be blocked if he restores this material again. Everyone, please remember this article is under WP:ARBPIA and admins may take a dim view of careless editing in this area. EdJohnston (talk) 22:32, 13 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Is there anyway I can appeal this, because this is very silly.


 * I've seen some pretty funny consensuses in my time on Wikipedia, but Debresser + 2 other dudes who comment once is the weakest "consensus" yet. Not to mention that there is Zscarpia who is part of the debate but refuses to take any sides.


 * Secondly EdJohnston made judgements about the content. I thought WP:AN3 was not a content noticeboard, but a behaviour noticeboard. I thought judgements about content were supposed to remain at the relevant talk page.


 * Thirdly, my recent addition was a completely different compromise text that was not the same as the other 3 reverts. It was so different to say I was "reverting" is quite wrong. I was attempting to compromise my reducing the mention of the incident to a single sentence.


 * Also, why didn't you give me any time to reply before closing? I live in AEST and I was sleeping at the time.


 * Debresser also edit warred against me and ZScarpia to remove any mention of Purim and Ramadan from the lede even though we had a good, mainstream source (Time magazine) that described the significance which Debresser accused of "poor journalism".


 * I recently went to the trouble of finding a book quote that supported the common-sense mention in the lede in order to end the silliness once and for all; a book quote that significantly improved the sourcing of the article. And what do I get for my trouble? I am not "edit warring" on the article I am trying to improve it.


 * Debresser himself is edit warring about the simple factual title of the section in question, and has yet to provide any argument why it should not be in accordance with its content.


 * The section is about people celebrating the massacre. Its not just about the veneration of Goldstein himself. That is a fact, not an opinion.


 * FWIW, ZScarpia seems to agree that I was not edit warring. . As he says, "It may be seen as significant that none of Factsontheground's edits has involved hitting the Undo button."Factsontheground (talk) 23:34, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Please continue this on the Talk page of the article. This report lists four reverts by you. Though they are not within 24 hours, the four reverts all restore the possibly-bogus video to the article. I trust you will not consider a bogus video to be so fascinating that it simply must be included in our article. Per the usual admin detachment, if you can get consensus for this, it can go in.
