Comments:

The user is willing to discuss edits without wanting to adhere to the 3RR rule as has also recently been blocked for a whole week for a violation of 3RR. Also, it is important to note that the user had already been blocked for indefinite time for disruptive editing from which got a second chance for the return.--Nmate (talk) 10:02, 25 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Vandalism does not count as a revert in an edit war. It is an obvious vandalism, User:Koalicio was even warned by the admin User:Anthony Bradbury for that: "one more vandalism edit will result in your being blocked from editing". It is a clear explanation on the talk page why the respective text does not fit in the article. I invite the admins to see it, because it is an obvious inappropriate addition (Iaaasi (talk) 11:55, 25 March 2011 (UTC))


 * No, It was not. And Iaaasi and two users, User:Koalicio and user:CoolKoon are in a dispute over content. And Iaaasi clearly reverted both opponents in a content dispute 6 times within a period of 24 hour. Admin Anthony Bradbury expostulated that the user deleted the vandalism warning from his/her own talk page but have not checked that the warning for vandalism whether was justified or was not. To which the user answered here:  --Nmate (talk) 12:02, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * No, you are wrong. Anthony Bradbury was referring to Koalicio's vandalism on articles, which included unexplained removal of referenced text on John Hunyadi article. Removing warnings on your own page is not vandalism WP:OWNTALK (Iaaasi (talk) 12:20, 25 March 2011 (UTC))
 * Well, you've just confirmed yourself then that it has nothing to do with the Hungary-Slovakia relations article then. Nice job ;) CoolKoon (talk) 12:31, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * He was warned for both articles (Iaaasi (talk) 13:20, 25 March 2011 (UTC))


 * You seem to be doing it again. Someone has appeared who doesn't share your POV, opinion etc. so you've marked him/her as a vandal and try to get rid of him, right? In the process you've managed to call basically my addition a vandalism. Do you intend to call any other editors who assert on putting my chapter back into the article "vandals" too? Also you've cynically marked the content restoration of user Koalicio as vandalism and deleted it several times as a minor edit. It should be obvious to you after years of editing and sockpuppeteering that the "minor edit" flag was NOT meant to be used in such way. It's for marking edits that fix typos, grammar mistakes, syntax errors etc. in short minor edits. Removing a whole chapters on claims of "vandalism" has very little to do with "minor edits".
 * Your argumentation is also cynical and illogical to say at least. You seem to assert that relations between Slovaks and Hungarians did not exist before 1993, which is outright absurd. In order for someone to understand the tensions between Hungarians and Slovaks one must dive into the common history of both nations. You on the other hand either don't seem to comprehend this, don't want to comprehend this, or don't want the article to be comprehensive at all. Either of the answers is quite sad and makes one question your motives and the fact whether you assume good faith. Still, I don't think that this is the right place to argue about this, so I don't want to discuss it any further. CoolKoon (talk) 12:31, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Please read the lead of the article: "the foreign relations between the Republic of Hungary and the Slovak Republic". Slovak Republic did not exist before 1993. God, why is so difficult to understand this? I've already explained that you must create the article Hungary–Czechoslovakia relations‎ on the model of the couple Czechoslovakia–Poland relations and Poland–Slovakia relations. It is like writing about the beer Heineken Hungária in the article about Hungarian wine and asking: "What is wrong? Because it is a Hungarian drink brand". Are you doing this on purpose? (Iaaasi (talk) 12:37, 25 March 2011 (UTC))
 * And are YOU removing well-sourced content on purpose? Besides, considering your edit history and your attitude it's likely that even if I'd create the Hungary-Czechoslovakia relations article (which IMHO still has nothing to do with the anti-Hungarian sentiments present in the first Czechoslovak republic) that you'd be tempted remove it from there or remove a link from Hungary-Slovakia relations article which'd point to it. I don't think there's any point in taking guarantees from a disruptive editor anyway... CoolKoon (talk) 13:02, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I never said that it is not well-sourced content, I just said this is not the appropriate article. You assume bad faith, but that is not something new. If you want to write "anti-Hungarian sentiments present in the first Czechoslovak republic", why don't you add that text to the article Anti-Hungarian sentiment or First Czechoslovak Republic?(Iaaasi (talk) 13:07, 25 March 2011 (UTC))
 * I rarely ever assume bad faith. I've only seen your (and your sockpuppets') "deletionist" edits over at the John Hunyadi article. I'm not sure how to put it for you to comprehend, but the section I've added is a historical one. It deals with history of Hungarians' cohabitation with Slovaks and tries to shed some light on the reasons Hungary-Slovakia relations deteriorated so much during Fico's rule. I know it's hard for you to imagine, but someone who knows nothing about the struggles, wrongdoings and grievances that plague the Carpathian basin with all the nations living in it, would be unable to comprehend/interpret the reasons behind these tensions. You know well as much as I do that this article is still little more than a more detailed stub. It lists some events and facts, but nothing about the fact that why the relations of Hungarians with Slovaks are what they are. However by removing new additions to the article you make it impossible for anyone to develop it into a better article (including myself who planned to add some more information to it as well). Besides, did you make any notable contributions to the article? So far the only thing you've seeming done was deleting parts which you deemed "inappropriate". Fortunately there are very few like you otherwise Wikipedia would only have a few dozen articles, not millions. CoolKoon (talk) 13:24, 25 March 2011 (UTC)


 * @Nmate When did you last do a constructive edit to an article (adding text + reference)? You have a clear battlefield mentality and all what you do is making reports against others (Iaaasi (talk) 12:42, 25 March 2011 (UTC))
 * So when you run out of arguments in support of your deeds you resort to ad hominem attacks and arguments that have nothing to do with the nature of the report nor the article? When you look into the mirror, do you like what you see? CoolKoon (talk) 13:07, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

On a semi-related note: please stop adding additional content to your posts after you hit the "Save page" button or label them as such. It's really annoying to get in constant edit conflicts because of these actions and it makes some of the replies look awkward too. Why don't you just gather your thoughts carefully, look up all the links/article names carefully and post your reply ONLY after you have all the details in place? CoolKoon (talk) 13:51, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

To show you that I am a flexible user who seeks dispute resolution, I've opened a thread at WP:ECCN (Iaaasi (talk) 14:27, 25 March 2011 (UTC))
 * Fine, I'm always open to discussion and I'm sure the other editors are too. Still, I don't think you should get away with engaging into an edit war with two editors. CoolKoon (talk) 15:11, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Urgh, that is really ugly edit-warring, and the later reverts falsely label the content that is being removed as vandalism. Considering that Iaaasi has been previously blocked indefinitely for similar disruption and was only unblocked upon the condition of good behavior, I am reimposing the indefinite block as a normal admin action. In view of his previous WP:DIGWUREN warning, I am also imposing the following restriction to take effect in the unlikely event that the block is ever lifted: In application and enforcement of WP:DIGWUREN, Iaaasi is indefinitely prohibited from making more than one revert per month per page, if the page or the action being reverted are related to Eastern Europe. A "revert" is any action that undoes the action of another editor, in whole or in part, as explained at WP:EW.  Sandstein  15:33, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Hope I did this correctly, GoetheFromm (talk) 16:48, 25 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Only the first and second reverts are the same. The others are distinct. I don't believe GoetheFromm understands this policy or many Wikipedia policies. Instead, as you can see on this talk page for Talk:Miral, s/he is flaming other editors and clearly not assuming good faith by labeling certain editors "pro-Zionist" and thereby rejecting their contributions that are well based on Wikipedia policy. I would like that behavior to stop and this faulty incident report seems to be a part of that behavior. Plot Spoiler (talk) 16:58, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Additionally, the two similar reverts I made were before the WP:1RR restriction were placed on the page. Plot Spoiler (talk) 16:59, 25 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I think that if you read wikipedia policy on 3RR, that ANY revert within a 24 span is subject to 3RR violation! GoetheFromm (talk) 17:14, 25 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Moreover, I invite you to show me where I labelled someone and dismissed their contributions as a result! I expect an apology if you are wrong in your implication. GoetheFromm (talk) 17:16, 25 March 2011 (UTC)


 * 1) All my edits aren't even reverts. 2) You characterized BioSketch as a "pro-Zionist" and belittled his/her edits on the page by unfairly implicating they were a product of ideology, when there was no evidence to do so. Not cool. Plot Spoiler (talk) 17:30, 25 March 2011 (UTC)


 * 1) Yes, I believe the edits that I've brought up are reverts as per wikipolicy, 2) You are not BioSketch and I was not belittling his edits (other users and admins can support this). 3) You have had past experiences of edit warring and your behavior on the Miral page is borderline, if not certainly, editwaring (hence the purpose of the inquiry) GoetheFromm (talk) 22:15, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Still waiting for that apology....GoetheFromm (talk) 20:14, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

<- I'm not an admin. I can't put 1RR restrictions in place on articles. That restriction was already in place on the article because 1RR already applies to "All articles related to the Arab-Israeli conflict broadly construed" whether the templates are there or not. Anyone who edits regularly in the I-P topic area will already know that because the templates are on a almost 800 articles. I added the headers to theMiral article because the article had been missed and GoetheFromm does not edit regularly in the I-P topic area and so cannot be expected to know about the restrictions in place. He is aware on them now. Having said all that, it would be much better if things were resolved on the talk page rather than through edit warring, name calling and noticeboards.

Constant edit warring from the User:SayHiWorld since March 22. It started when he wanted to add the POV term "flip-flopped" based on two separate facts. The source did not directly say it and it was essentially his own personal analysis. Since then, the user has been adding self-published sources into the biography in order to justify his addition of using the term. However, I explained to the user that self-published sources were not allowed in BLP's. He ignored what I said and kept adding it. Furthermore, he is misinterpreting what sources are saying which I have explained to him on this talk page. He has added his own original research again by characterizing quotes he has made as "extreme" and misinterpreting a comment he made on "climategate" as meaning he denied climate change. As I previously said, he ignores my comment and continues reverting to add the content in. Truthsort (talk) 22:06, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Two qualifying claims about the airport was there on the page for a long time. It is removed by editor User:Samaleks. Solid proof for those statements was provided on the Talk Page by myself. No response was given by any editor. Several IP addresses started to continually remove the information, without coming to talk page. The intention is to remove the information, despite the solid proof provided.

This tactics of using IP edits and avoiding discussion has become a standard procedure by the editors who want to push a POV. The recommended methods of dispute resolution breaks down in these situations. Playing by the rules by refraining from reverting those edits would only encourage such malicious tactics. A semi-protection forcing edits by registered users seems to be the only way to restrict this behaviour.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:

Comments:

The edit war largely consists of User:Gharr making changes to the article for which no consensus exists among the other editors. He seems to refuse calmly talking them through. His reverts have been conducted over a long than 24 hour period (41 hours), but the behaviour seems pretty blatant. Note that there's broader problems with the user's behaviour, documented at this very long thread at ANI (ironically started by himself). --Sloane (talk) 04:10, 27 March 2011 (UTC)


 * This guy/girl called User:Sloane has no case, I did not make any 3 edits reverts withing a span of 24 hours. This user is simply trying to intimidate me. User:Sloane also gave me a generalized 3RR tag previously that Wikipedia states as being aggressive:
 * The rules on issuing a 3RR tag are clear “see Edit_warring#Handling_of_edit_warring_behaviors: "Avoid posting a generic warning template if actively involved in the edit war, it can be seen as aggressive." This links to the tag User:Sloane used: straight out, no warnings vague 3rr notice to me--this type of warning is clearly aggressive in nature and he/she should not have used it.
 * I consider this action to be an aggressive attempt at continuing to “hounding me” by striking back at me for saying that the use of this aggressive 3RR tag together with with the history of a BLP incident in the past—that I believe involved his friend User:OpenFuture—was the reason behind why he/she is “hounding me.” You can check out my complaint about User:Sloane here:  Complaint made to Administrators (assuming it has not been moved into archives yet, but it was active at the time User:Sloane made this complaint).
 * Incidentally, User:OpenFuture and a new person who turned up suddenly called User:Edward321 are the people who have been reverting my edits. User:Sloane seems to be kindly stepping in on behalf of his/her friend User:OpenFuture while also continuing his task of hounding me.
 * I also feel offended that this user is trying this without checking the facts. Perhaps User:Sloane was expecting you to make an error in the time calculations, but that would be dishonest and taking advantage of this place for the purpose of threatening me to back down on my complaint to administration. --(Gharr (talk) 18:40, 27 March 2011 (UTC))


 * Gharr, there are 4 reverts, done by you, within a 24-hour period . I doubt you'll be let out on the template technicality, especially since you've accused others on violating the 3RR and thus should be very aware of the policy. Zakhalesh (talk) 17:42, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, for the record, as I stated above, the reverts happened over a 41-hour period, instead of a 24-hour period. But that obviously doesn't excuse the edit warring.--Sloane (talk) 17:47, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Huh, you're right. I really need a new set of eyes. Zakhalesh (talk) 17:48, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
 * [Statement from you own user page] Zakhalesh:
 * "I am Zakhalesh. I've got nothing to hide but I prefer to keep some obscurity as I don't want any "real" problems arising from conflicts with the people I oppress."

 * Gharr, that does not belong in 3RR noticeboard, and if you weren't trying to find anything to use against me, you'd probably sense the irony, if not from the text itself, from the links. I seriously urge you to stop attacking other editors. Zakhalesh (talk) 19:14, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

User being reported:

This user is consistently avoiding consensus discussions in favor of BOLD editing. This might be fine, but I feel it might be occasionally crossing the line into disruptive editing. This user makes literally hundreds of changes to Wikipedia a day, and boldly moves on, but it would be nice if they would stop when questioned to simply give a rationale for their actions. It strikes me as not in line with fair play to simply push others aside in favor of making major adjustments to the encyclopedia.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: User failed recently to respond to a complaint regarding their behavior regarding calling other editors "Essjay".

Additional comment: The editor seems to be now involved in Wikipedia:Canvassing in an attempt to 'win' the argument of whether their edits are proper or not. So far this still has not been in line with simply asking for opinions, but again is being phrased as "edit war". To me, it appears designed to again promote their POV on articles.

 * Without diffs of the reverts constituting the alleged edit war, the situation cannot be evaluated.  Sandstein   05:55, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I am not the person calling it an edit war. I am responding to the tone of what Richard Arthur Norton himself is calling it, and the pattern of rolling over the community in the edits.  I guess really I am asking for assistance before it begins to escalate into something further, and since first encountering Mr. Norton, the general attitude has been one where he seems unwilling to stop and actually discuss his actions, and more of a person who simply changes things and moves on, and others are left to pick up the pieces.


 * As far as "complete diffs", I'm not sure without going through dozens of edits how to present a cohesive picture of what is occuring in general. The article link and the diff I provided at the beginning is the one that Mr. Norton recently called attention to as an "edit war", rather than simply addessing other editors in a community fashion.


 * I would ask you to reconsider this decision to simply say 'malformed report', and give me some idea of how to proceed if this is incorrect. I am really just looking for Mr. Norton to act as a community partner, not as a singular, driven editing machine. -- Avanu (talk) 06:08, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * It seems that the complaint is about RAN's characterization of certain situations as an "edit war", a characterization that Avanu disputes. If so, then this is something that should be worked out between RAN and Avanu, or, if RAN is somehow acting disruptively, be reported to a suitable venue such as WP:ANI. This board is for dealing with ongoing edit warring. If you think that there is no edit war then there's nothing for us to address. T. Canens (talk) 08:37, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * My mistake then. At the time I filed this, my impression was that RAN was beginning an edit war, and has characterized the edits as such with 2 other editors on their Talk pages in order to enlist their aid in pushing his POV.  I have explained further at User_talk:Sandstein and he also advised me to go down the WP:DE route with this.  I really don't want to make a huge issue of this, but I am a big believer in community and mutual support of editors, and it seems from my research and experiences that RAN is typically more apt to act unilaterally. -- Avanu (talk) 08:47, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: This ought not be needed, Igny made a spurious report here on myself, and then proceeded to break 3r himself to edit war in a POV tag. This is not the first time he has done this.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:

Comments:

Igny has persistently edit warred this POV tag into the article. This is not the first time, nor I fear will it be the last. I am unsure if moving the article without consensus is a revert, if not then he has but four. Tentontunic (talk) 10:13, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

I am unsure this meets a full-blown edit war status (it hits 4RR only because of the attempted move) - I am more concerned that  (moved Occupation of the Baltic states to Occupation and annexation of the Baltic states over redirect: move per talk)  evinces a unilateralist philosophy which is contrary to consensus building in any case (having noted that nothing remotely near consensus existed for the move). Collect (talk) 17:15, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * This move was not unilateralist. As the discussion on the talk page demonstrated, numerous sources and arguments have been provided from both sides. I would say, the prerequisite for this edit war was created by Peters, who attempted to close the RfM, a step he could not do, as Lothar explained here. Although I see no any gross violation in this Peters' step (he definitely genuinely believed he could do that), the same step made later by Tentontunic few days later was a more severe violation: he was informed by me about incorrectness of the removal of the tag by involved users, and, nevertheless preferred to ignore my advice to self-revert. Therefore, per WP:BOOMERANG the most correct solution would be to direct sanctions against Tentontunic. BTW, it will be not the first, and even not the second block in the recent Tentontunic's block history. --Paul Siebert (talk) 19:49, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Paul's attempt to blame Peters' RM closure as a cause is a misrepresentation and may be a breach of WP:HONESTY, Peters' good faith closure has absolutely nothing to do what so ever with Igny's disruptive behaviour, as is demonstrated by Igny also removing the RM tag. I note that a totally uninvolved editor has noticed Igny's disruptive behaviour and reported him to ANI, some action needs to be taken here. --Martin (talk) 20:25, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, firstly, I do not blame Peters in anything, I just explain what the Lothar's position was: an involved user cannot close the RfM. After Peters has been explained, the issue was easily resolved. Again, I see no serious violation from the Peters' side (who genuinely believed he had a right to close the discussion, which, in his, (and in my) opinion became dormant), and I expect Martin to withdraw his odd accusation. In any event, by this step Peters unintentionally renewed the discussion over renaming, which, despite a visibility of dormantness, appeared to be not completely resolved.
 * Interestingly, another step that lead to escalation was a unilateral change of the sidebar's title by Martin That has been done without any discussion, and the need of this step was questioned by others (see talk page). Therefore, although I see no traits of edit warring in these Martin's actions, he definitely contributed into the development of the conflict, and, therefore, this his comment is somewhat hypocritical.
 * However, all of that are just minor details. The reality is as follows (I reproduce it again below):
 * "Tentontunic removed the RfM tag, the step, he, being an involved user, could not do. After the issue has been explained to him, he refused to self-revert. This is a proof that he has read my post. This is a proof that he was an involved user by the moment he de facto'' closed RfM. This is a proof that he removed a POV tag despitre the fact that the thread named "POV issues" is still active on the talk page. Therefore, despite the fact that Tentontunic made just three reverts:


 * 1)
 * 2)
 * 3) ,
 * by these three reverts he removed the POV tag twice, and removed the RfM tag.
 * When I started to write this post I didn't know all these details, and I didn't realise the situation is so severe. In this situation, to block, who has already been blocked recently twice, would be a good solution.--Paul Siebert (talk) 21:21, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm glad you clarified your position and have struck my comment accordingly. Note that Igny's move was marked as minor. This is not the first time, Igny has previously attempted to move this article against concensus, also marking those edits as minor: here,here andhere, so this current move is part of a pattern of reverts by a long standing edit warrior. --Martin (talk) 21:05, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Good. Although I do not think Igny's behaviour is correct, however, we must concede that some steps made by other users could contribute into the Igny's emotional outburst. Moerover, since Igny seems to accept my advice (at least, his last edits just restored the status quo ante bellum editorarum), the situation seems to be resolved, and any actions against Igny will be punitive, not preventive.
 * Re minor edits. I myself sometimes do the same mistake by automatically clicking at this box.
 * However, that does not resolve another issue: the behaviour of Tentontunic. I suggest to focus on this problem. Do you have anything to say on his behalf?--Paul Siebert (talk) 21:29, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The 3RR case above against Tentontunic is closed, this is about Igny. No, Igny's last edit did not "restore the status quo ante bellum editorarum" as you claim. This edit by you was the last edit before Igny started edit warring. I can understand accidently marking an edit as minor, but doing it four times for the exact same edit in the case of Igny? Igny was previously warned by an admin for this kind behaviour, so any action here would be preventive. --Martin (talk) 22:54, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I would like to remark that Tentontunic's move was also marked "m". Now Martin, you go ahead and try to move an article and mark it minor. I would like to see how you do that. (Igny (talk) 23:02, 28 March 2011 (UTC))

Just my tuppence. (Igny (talk) 22:58, 28 March 2011 (UTC))
 * My report against Tentontunic was not frivolous, he just got a break on a technicality, for some reason, 2 reverts were counted as one. I would appreciate if someone reviews how how 4 reverts  do not mean an automatic block.
 * By contrast, Tentontunic's report was frivolous, I would like someone to explain to me how 2nd and 3rd edits reported by him can be considered reverts.
 * Amount of bad faith from Martintg's towards me is staggering, but understandable as I have so far refused to put up with his behavior here. I can not help but wonder if that is a new EEML technique to irritate opponents by ignoring opponents' arguments while poking at anything which could potentially provoke an outburst. They however fail to realize that attempts to boycott an opponent does not work on WP, as they would in a kindergarten, for valid arguments not go away unnoticed.
 * Old news first, I suppose. The previous report against Tentontunic was not frivolous, it was simply incorrect. I'm surprised that you've used the phrase "for some reason 2 reverts were counted as one" as this is specifically coded into the policy as "a series of consecutive saved revert edits by one user with no intervening edits by another user counts as one revert."  I'm not sure how much more clear that could be.
 * The four diffs you give as examples appear to be from the same sample set as your report above. All four are indeed clear reverts.  You will also the reverts at 14:27 and 14:03 occur without interventing edits and count as one - he could have just as easily done it in one edit.  If you need a better explanation, please let me know, but this seems quite clear.  So that's the old news, I'll look through this report now.  I do notice that you are still the last editor on that page and there is still time to self-revert before I dig through this.  I would encourage you to do that before I finish.   Kuru   (talk)  00:44, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for an explanation, and for the opportunity to self-revert. (Igny (talk) 00:52, 29 March 2011 (UTC))
 * Collect is pretty spot on above; I see four reverts including the move revert, not five. Since Igny has self-reverted the last one, there are only three and no 3RR which forces a block.  I would encourage everyone on this article to start making sure there are discussions that are completed on the talk page before making any other reverts.  This is an excellent time to point out that 3RR isn't the only criteria for an edit warring block, it's just the bright line; please don't start playing games with four reverts in 25 hours or some other nonsense.

I had already asked for the page to be protected (on the 25th) so I am please that you have done so. However, that does not address the issue of of PoD breaching 3RR not once but three times on the same page within a week, and coupled to this two editors on the the talk page have suggested that PoD has an ownership issue with this page.

I think that PoD should be blocked for a time so that a clear message is sent that whatever the content dispute may be, breaching 3RR multiple times is unacceptable to the community, particularly as his/her conversation on his/her talk page with User:Charles Matthews shows no understanding that his/her breaching 3RR is out of order. Although I do notice from the archives of this page that PoD will bring 3RR complaints against others.

Also knowing that this 3RR report was open PoD performed another revert at 08:25, 29 March 2011 bringing the number of reverts up to five in a 24 hour period. Exactly how blatant does breaching of 3RR have to be before a block is imposed? -- PBS (talk) 12:25, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * One of the editors who feels PoD has ownership issues also told an American editor she has no 'qualification' to comment on the talkpage - essentially telling her to go away. I think protecting the page is the right decision, but don't think blocks are necessary at this point because of the provocation I'm seeing on the page and talkpage. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 12:33, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Truthkeeper88 to which editor are you referring? I have checked the edits of the two editors who have explicitly commented about PoD's ownership of the article on the article's talk page by linking to WP:OWN when making those comments, and could not find any comment by either of them of the type you describe. I presume that the discussion you are referring starts close to the top of the section Talk:Guy Fawkes Night/Archive 3. Do you think that the editor who wrote "Hello, Truthkeeper88. As you would suppose.." also thinks that PoD has ownership issues? BTW I do not think that the editor in question, suggested anyone should go away. -- PBS (talk) 16:59, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


 * If you're going to bring personal histories into this PBS then perhaps I should post this link, which clearly demonstrates that quite a few experienced editors (content creators unlike yourself) feel that you are disruptive. Although you're "clever" enough to not appear to break the rules you are obviously edit warring, and having clearly lost several arguments on the article's talk page you are now attempting to force your view with this bureaucracy.  The scholarly integrity of that article is far more important than my block log and I will not allow you to derail it by adding a load of badly-written and dubiously-sourced bollocks.  Cease your disruption and go and do something constructive. Parrot of Doom 13:08, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Good move to protect the page. I've tried to stay out of the childish name-calling, and have no intention of defending all of PBS' edits, but the comment by PoD above that "I will not allow you to derail it by adding a load of badly-written and dubiously-sourced bollocks" hopefully is sufficient demonstration of the nature of the problems facing other editors - see WP:OWN and WP:CIVIL.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 13:45, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


 * The views of PBS are clearly at odds with the majority of editors on the article's talk page. PBS is using bullying tactics to impose his minority view. Several editors have suggested to PBS that his suggestions could improve the Bonfire Night article yet he seems intent on degrading the Guy Fawkes Night article to the level of the Oktoberfest article. Parrot of Doom is not the editor creating drama here, it is the sustained campaign by PBS to get his own way.--J3Mrs (talk) 15:32, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * That comment is utterly misleading. There is a group of very active, very technically proficient editors, including Parrot of Doom, J3Mrs, and some others associated with the Greater Manchester WikiProject, who take the view that articles such as Guy Fawkes Night should take a certain form, and be academically unimpeachable.  That would be fine, were it not for the fact that they (in some cases) abuse and generally denigrate other good faith editors who take a less absolutist and more inclusive view of different approaches towards informing readers.  PBS has one view, and has edited in accordance with that view - his editing approach on the article (I can't comment about other articles) is far from "bullying".  I don't personally agree with many of PBS' edits, or all his comments, but to suggest that he is in the wrong and PoD's approach (which includes, at best, gross arrogance and incivility) is "right" is completely preposterous.  There is no evidence either that PBS' views, or those of PoD, command the support of the "majority of editors" - there is disagreement as to the way forward (in particular, as to whether the GFN article should be expanded, or whether an (effectively) new, more general, article on Bonfire Night should be developed), and a poisonous atmosphere which is apparently designed to ensure that GF editors on such articles are driven away.   What a shame that PoD should be defended in this way.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 15:50, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * J3Mrs, rather than discussing the content of articles and the alleged behaviour of other editors in this section, do you think that editors should be allowed to repeatedly breach 3RR? -- PBS (talk) 15:44, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I am unsure as to why you mention the Greater Manchester WikiProject and what it has to do with my comment. From my reading of the talk page I disagree with Ghmyrtle's analysis but that is my opinion. However I should point out it takes two editors to create these situations. If I have harmed caused PoD any offence, I apologise to him.--J3Mrs (talk) 16:42, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The only relevance of mentioning the WikiProject is to indicate that those defending PoD's behaviour will have had many previous WP interactions, and may conceivably even know other in real life.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 17:10, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * You haven't offended me at all J3Mrs. As usual, certain people here are whinging about personal insults while spewing forth their own.  The hypocrisy is amazing. Parrot of Doom 18:23, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Not "spewing forth" or "whinging" at all - just commenting. Independent readers will quickly come to their own conclusions.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 18:30, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Jerry really doesn't like the use of "architect" for anything but a licensed practitioner of architecture. As a licensed architect, I actually sympathize with him, but he's stretching various points of obsolete state legal language and selectively quoting from blogs, then isisting that others provide cites to refute the sources/blogs/forums that for the most part flatly contradict his position.

 * Diff of warning: here (note, though I warned him I would report him on March 3, I delayed my initial report for almost two weeks, hoping he would stop reverting).


 * Comment: This is an edit-warring report, not a 3RR-violation report. For a month now has been reverting the Ritual Decalogue article, in almost all cases inserting the phrase  "one of three lists identified as the Ten Commandments in the Bible" (or close variations) into the lede. He has reverted 18 times now, and in turn been reverted by five different editors (Kwamikagami is the only editor supporting the use of this phrase). After a previous report of edit-warring was made, the article was protected for a week. Within 48 hours of protection elapsing, he reverted again, and has done so again today! Even more provocatively, his edit summary claimed he had reached a "compromise" with other editors on this on article Talk:, despite the fact that the other editors clearly stated they did not agree with this insertion. As stated before, Kwamikagami will apparently will never stop reverting, regardless of how many editors oppose him, unless some more serious sanction is imposed.Jayjg (talk) 02:04, 16 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Response: As noted last time Jay posted this, this is a content dispute, with several editors on both sides. As of today he does finally seem to be collaborating on this, but a previous outside editor described trying to get answers or sources from him as "like pulling teeth". It looks like we are approaching consensus on the talk page, and our recent edits have grown closer, now that Jay has made a couple objections and sources explicit. — kwami (talk) 01:16, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * This dispute has been going since 2005, though not always with the same two people. A previous edit-warring complaint was made here on March 16. See: Administrators' noticeboard/3RRArchive153.
 * The article Ritual Decalogue was created by Kwamikagami back in 2005. It was Kept at AfD (No Consensus) in Articles for deletion/Ritual Decalogue in August, 2005,
 * The same article has been taken to the admin boards and to mediation numerous times. See:
 * Administrators' noticeboard/Geopolitical ethnic and religious conflicts/Archive 2
 * Mediation Cabal/Cases/2010-07-02/Ten Commandments
 * Neutral point of view/Noticeboard/Archive 15
 * Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive678
 * Wikiquette_alerts/archive100.
 * I'm afraid that the 3RR board does not often do anything useful with very-long-running disputes between senior editors. I wonder if either party could propose an outcome, or a further negotiation step whose results they would agree to accept. EdJohnston (talk) 02:15, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * It's possible kwami has been battling over this article since 2005, but this specific dispute started on Feb 27, when kwami reverted slrubenstein. Also, it's rather bizarre to see kwami claim there are "several editors on both sides" and that "as of today [Jayjg] does finally seem to be collaborating on this". The fact remains that kwamikagami has reverted eighteen times, and been reverted by five different editors. This is kwami vs. everyone else . The edit-warring board can (and typically does) often deal with this kind of disruptive behavior by a lone editor (kwami) edit-warring with five other editors. Jayjg (talk) 02:36, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, the latest round, after the article was stable for so long, was a failure to observe BOLD, and insistence that sourced material can be deleted simply on one side's say-so.
 * The other editors who have objected to Jay and SLR, or have been frustrated with their refusal to cooperate, are Griswaldo and Steve kap.
 * The talk page is the way to get there, if both sides use it in good faith. It's very difficult to accommodate objections if those objections are never made explicit, or to source a differing point if the sources presented for that point don't actually address it. As I said, we finally seems to be moving forward, and we're not very far apart. I don't see why we can't come together on this. My unanswered questions on the talk page are one possibility. — kwami (talk) 04:34, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Do we actually have the case of two admins edit warring with each other? Honestly? Blocks are useless on a long-running dispute, as EdJohnston said. We have pretty much two options: 1) all of you stop edit warring, or 2) the page gets fully protected until the heat death of the universe or you all finally work something out, whichever is earlier. Take your pick. T. Canens (talk) 08:30, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm willing to delete anything which is unsourced or which Jay or SLR are able to show is unwarranted. I'm not willing for them to delete reliably sourced info just because they don't like it, or for reasons or sources they refuse to disclose. (Even if they claim they have already or don't need to disclose them.) They have been extraordinarily uncooperative, as others have noted, but things seem to have improved in the last couple of days, with both making constructive comments, which are now incorporated into the article. I've posted my objections to their edits, and the reasons for them, on the talk page; let's see if they're willing to substantiate their objections, as we have repeatedly asked them to do. — kwami (talk) 10:51, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Editor Kwamikagami seems extremely zealous here. He has been battling this out against the consensus of numerous other editors, and appears to be acting as though he has a vested interest in pushing one position.  I understand the idea of assuming good faith, but assumptions only go so far, and Kwamikagami is pushing the bounds of what can be assumed as good faith.  - Lisa (talk - contribs) 11:24, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * But obfuscation, lies, and playing stupid should make us think they're acting in good faith? Jay and SLR have been zealous in battling this out against the consensus of numerous other editors as well, since evidently "numerous" here means "a few". But we go by our sources. I am zealous against those who would delete sources or sourced information and refuse to give any good reason, no matter how much they bluster that their irrelevant claims are good reason. Let Jay and SLR spell out their actual reasons, and address the actual points being contested, and we'll have no problem. We no longer have a problem with the few points where they finally caved and cooperated. Cooperation should be the default. It shouldn't take years of requests and edit wars before one side addresses the issues at hand. — kwami (talk) 12:08, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Kwami, you've now reverted 5 different editors 19 times. That's what this board is about, not what names you call people, or what absurd claims you make about them "finally caving and cooperating". Please stop reverting everyone, all the time. Jayjg (talk) 22:28, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Rainbow trout.png Troutted &mdash; Keep in mind that admins edit warring tends to be highly frowned upon and prone to subjecting you to major pains in the ass. Have you considered opening an rfc? Or official mediation? You guys should know better than almost any other editors what dispute resolution is, what edit warring is, and how not to be a dick. That said, I would very strongly suggest that everyone involved in this voluntarily adhere to 1RR on that article. -- slakr \ talk / 03:34, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I tried an rfc the last time we went through this, and no-one was interested. It looks as if we're pretty much in agreement now, though. — kwami (talk) 08:18, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

 * After seeing the BLPN discussion, my view is that a long block of User:Lurielurie may be needed. Here is one of Lurielurie's edits of the article, in February. As an alternative, Lurielurie might agree to stop editing this article. I've asked him to respond here. My blocking suggestion makes no assumption as to who Lurielurie may be in real life, and as to who may be behaving better in the real-life dispute.

This new account (which looks very much like a sockpuppet of a banned user) is repeatedly disrupting Articles for deletion/Economic history of the Jews by deleting another user's edit - he did the same thing on another AfD only a few days ago and was blocked after he escalated to harassment.

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning:

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: long and meandering discussion.

Comments:

Like all other Israel/Palestine related articles, this article is under is under 1RR, among other active arbitration remedies, as noted on the top of the talk page. I pointed talknic to the ARBPIA template on the top of the page a few days ago. Today he reverted twice within less than 2 hours. When I pointed this out and suggested he self-revert, both on his talk and the article talk (diffs above), his response was "nice try" plus an explanation that amounts to him arguing that it's not a revert because he didn't press the undo button. So here we are. There's also what looks to me like a 1RR violation on 1949 Armistice Agreements if an admin wants to look at that as well. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 16:32, 1 April 2011 (UTC)


 * In learning the ropes for editing on Wikipedia I took this advice Be_bold_in_updating_pages and played it out in a bold edit, giving the reason for the bold change, citing a source, the Jewish Virtual Library, which reflected both the The Jewish Agency for Israel and The World Zionist Organization. It was reverted by one No More Mr Nice Guy. whilst completely misrepresenting my stated reason for the change and giving no other reason.  He did not question the source.  The nature of his tactics has been consistent throughout every discussion we have engaged in.


 * To the first accusation.
 * I'd simply recommend reading through (itemized below) where No More Mr Nice Guy has indulged himself in blatant contradictions to the editorial policies he demands others follow. Where the source was still being contested, per No More Mister Nice Guy's own criteria and where consensus per No More Mister Nice Guy's own criteria, had not yet been reached and where in fact his preferred source was rejected by consensus 3:1


 * At 10:18, 21 March 2011 (UTC): The 1st instance where No More Mr Nice Guy attempts to get consensus for the JPost source "Here's a reliable source (per WP:RS)" However, the source (Jpost) had never been discussed per WP:RS 'for that context' at WP:RSN or anywhere else.  Furthermore the source JPost was reporting did not once use the words being disputed, quite contrary to WP:RS.  A fact I pointed out at 11:12, 21 March 2011 (UTC).  The JPost article did not even pass the basic premises of WP:RS.


 * At 08:52, 22 March 2011 (UTC): Again misconstruing WP:RS & WP:RSN-- "JPost is considered a reliable source. If you disagree you may try to convince other editors at the relevant discussion board (in this case WP:RSN), but if you do a search on the board and you'll find that this issue has come up before and there is a wide consensus JP is reliable" It had not, 'for that context', come up before, had never been discussed, was not validated in any way whatsoever 'for that context'


 * At 11:15, 22 March 2011 (UTC): After misconstruing the guideline himself in order to gain consensus for his preferred source, he then comments "Judith, could you please explain to Talknic how WP:RS works? I don't seem to be getting through to him"


 * At 17:18, 22 March 2011 (UTC): I pointed out //Each source must be carefully weighed to judge whether it is reliable for the statement being made and is the best such source for that context.//


 * No More Mr Nice Guy's JPost source was then opposed by myself 17:18, 22 March 2011 (UTC), Itsmejudith 17:29, 22 March 2011 (UTC), Noisetier 07:15, 23 March 2011 (UTC). The consensus No More Mister Nice Guy demanded & sought, was against 3:1.


 * At 11:03, 23 March 2011 (UTC): Another voice is added to the chorus misconstruing WP:RS. Itsmejudith says "JVL's a secondary source, it just isn't a reliable secondary source for this." JVL was never examined at WP:RSN or anywhere else 'for this'.


 * At 21:25, 23 March 2011 (UTC): I asked in good faith, "Are The Jewish Agency for Israel and The World Zionist Organization reliable sources? " (the sources reflected in JVL)


 * At 23:23, 23 March 2011 (UTC): Itsmejudith "No..." Yet their reliability for this particular statement had not been discussed at WP:RSN  or anywhere else 'for this' i.e., 'for that context'


 * At 06:15, 24 March 2011 (UTC): I remind them of WP:RS and 'for that context'


 * At 14:03, 24 March 2011 (UTC): No More Mr Nice Guy then makes an unwarranted accusation re my understanding of WP:RS and finally infers there must be agreement to make any suggested change - "You should consider that maybe it's you who is misunderstanding the guidelines rather than others misconstruing them. I have wasted enough time making a good faith effort to try and explain these things to you. I will not be commenting further on this issue. Do not take that as agreement for your suggested change."


 * At 03:37, 25 March 2011 (UTC): I reminded folk of the misconstrued guidelines (rather lengthy and pointed) and again suggested a constructive change in good faith, adhering to WP:RS calling for contributions for improvement, whilst still observing No More Mr Nice Guy and Itsmejudith's demands for consensus.


 * At 09:43, 28 March 2011 (UTC): I took the discussion to ....where
 * At 12:57, 29 March 2011 (UTC): No More Mr Nice Guy again makes an unwarranted accusation about my understanding of WP:RS "Since we have established that your understanding of the guidelines regarding reliable sources is poor, and that you are not interested in learning how to apply them properly, I see no point in pursuing this further. The sources I provided above are good, as any experienced editor will tell you." Alas, none of those sources had been through any process at WP:RSN or anywhere else to confirm their 'goodness'.


 * To the 1st instance: Removing No More Mr Nice Guy's change as explained at the time, reflected A) a 3:1 consensus in talk that the source not be used and in good faith to B) the process still under discussion on the talk page and C) according to No More Mr Nice Guy's own criteria for reaching consensus in order to make a change or use the JPost source.


 * To the 2nd instance: Reverting No More Mr Nice Guy's change as explained at the time, reflected A) the notion in talk that a source be discussed and in good faith to B) the process still under discussion on the talk page and C) according to No More Mr Nice Guy's own criteria for reaching consensus in order to make a change.


 * I believe the above speaks for itself. I have no further comment.


 * To the second accusation.
 * Is quite simply, not subject to an 1RR restriction.


 * Note: Now that No More Mr Nice Guy has added the template to the 1949 Armistice lines, I must admit my error re there being no WP:1RR restriction. Apologies here and there talknic (talk) 23:48, 2 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Never the less, again No More Mr Nice Guy shows a blatant disregard for own criteria. He had no involvement in the discussion, from 12:50, 29 March 2011 (UTC) til after 12:15, 1 April 2011 (UTC).  A period in which I called time and again for constructive comment, criticism and consensus


 * Faced with only un-sourced, irrelevant comments by AnonMoos, without valid objections or constructive input or criticism and according to Be_bold_in_updating_pages I made a change to reflect the actual information of the armistice Agreement, giving a secondary source per WP:RS, which accurately conveyed the same information as the primary source it cited, being the Armistice agreement. Where in it says "the international boundary between Lebanon and Palestine"


 * The suggested change was made, at 09:16, 1 April 2011 (UTC) with explanation.
 * At 11:46, 1 April 2011 (UTC). No More Mr Nice Guy altered the information by adding "Mandate Palestine" to reflect what is not conveyed in the secondary source or the primary source it cites, being the Armistice agreement. This was in contradiction to A) his demands that changes be discussed B) his demands that consensus be reached and C) to accurately represent the information conveyed by the secondary source's reference to the primary source.


 * Furthermore, as the revision history shows No More Mr Nice Guy also made a false accusation -  "By the way you also broke the avalon link I fixed" 12:33, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Note:Apology received and accepted talknic (talk) 23:48, 2 April 2011 (UTC)


 * No More Mr Nice Guy then began to launch into a discussion about the 'implications' brought about by what the the secondary cited primary source (the Armistice Agreement) actually says, being "the international boundary between Lebanon and Palestine" Alas the issue is not the 'implications'.  The end issue is what the Armistice Agreement actually says, being conveyed through a secondary source.
 * I believed I had fulfilled the criteria and that his alteration constituted a blatant contravention of the essence of Wikipedia in order to promote his own biased POV.


 * I have no further comment talknic (talk) 05:47, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Result: No block, since it is believable that Talknic was unaware of the WP:1RR restriction at the time. I am notifying him of the WP:ARBPIA discretionary sanctions. Talknic has posted a long justification above. This is not helpful. Admins will not take sides in the content dispute. The people you need to convince are the other editors on the article talk page.

 * This is not an appropriate use of this noticeboard. All of the reverts in question are more than a week old, and not a single person has told this rather inexperienced editor what the problems are with his edits. Templated warnings that do not actually explain the concerns that the user is supposed to address are not only useless, they are harmful.

I have some problems to see why the user makes Original research and does make claims not supported directly by the source (wp:synth). The user does not even understand the linguistic meaning of terms Iranian and Persian (see the diffs). nobody claimed Mani is Persian. Also if the user makes up his/her mind he/she sees that what I have added supports his/her claim but in more correct version. The user sees "residence of Babylon" as "incompatible with having Iranic parents" (I already said some "African Americans" are American but of African parents).

Comments:

This fairly new editor seems eager, earnest, and informed, and would probably be incredibly helpful in editing this article due to their unique perspective. The problem we're having is that the editor seems unbelievably single minded in his edits, and others are trying to help him understand but we're not being successful in getting the point made.

I really don't want to see this editor be lost to Wikipedia because I think there is a lot they can bring to these sorts of articles, but it really amounts to disruptive editing and others are having to follow up each edit with a revert or a mergence of the material in order to make it more encyclopedic.

Looking for solutions.

Comments:

Drmies seems to be on some sort of crusade for this article. He has made disparaging remarks on my talk page and other editors talk pages. He has chosen to interpret a Wikipedia standard and make it his own pillar of self righteousness to shore up his argument. He has been uncivil and down right insulting to other editors. He is both pedantic and condescending to others without any regard for their level of involvement. His threat on my page to warn me for vandalism is both the last straw and the impetus for me to come here to make a complaint. He is using a bullying method to get his way instead of using some sort of consensus. At this point I have merely reverted the article back to the way it was before he blanked the page. I appreciate some other eyes on this issue. Thank you  Golgofrinchian  (talk)  19:27, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

comment - User:Drmies has three edits in the last month, two of them are concurrent. I totally agree with Drmies edit. The User:Tao2911 and the user that made this report are making an edit that removes independent reliable externals and they are greatly expanding the BLP in a promotional manner using a front page 404 of the subjects own website, it is used 15 times in the version they are inserting. Off2riorob (talk) 20:42, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I doubt I ever blanked a page, unless it was an attack page. This report is certainly a creative way to make those edits appear as if they happened in a 24-hour period. Of course, the assailant could claim that I am edit-warring in the broad sense of the term, and in a way that could be correct: I have tried over a period of time to add some BLP sanity to the article, for instance by adding reliable sources (I believe Bb23 has done some of that work as well). Those are the references that were removed in the intermediate edits, which inserted the multiple references to a personal website--which the assailant and their teammates (including the aforementioned Tao2911) are claiming to be a reliable source in the sense of WP:BLP (see article talk page--Golgofrinchian's are the comments with lots of bold print). They may call that edit-warring; I call it adhering to the BLP standards. This is nasty--Tao referred on the talk page to Bb23 as a moron and to me as an idiot. Now, to make matters perfectly clear, I don't mind the article being expanded with sources that are as reliable as can be--I agree with Bb23's comments on the talk page, even though I sense that Bb thought I went to far in stripping, but what I did was, rather than strip, revert to a verified version of the article. Adding information is the answer, and since this is a BLP, reliable sources are the key. If these three editors wish to expand, that is fine--but they can't undo the work of other editors and remove the reliable sources they have dug up. Accusations of vandalism, bad faith, etc. are strewn all over the place there, and it is clear (to me) that the three editors ganging up on me there (and see also Tao's comments/personal attacks in the history of my talk page, which I removed as trolling) have an insufficient grasp of our policies on BLPs. I take BLPs seriously, and so should we all. Personal websites are not sufficient. Reliable sources should not be removed. Bad edits (a dozen different references to the same page, for instance) should not stand. This isn't a crusade for some version of this article (or some opinion of this subject), but a stance on our BLP policy. Drmies (talk) 22:54, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Lets get some things straight. I have not inserted anything. I have reverted huge deletions by Drmies. I am not involved with this war other than to try and remain an impartial observer. Check my talk page, the talk page of the article and the talk pages of all of the main players; I am not that invested in this. If it were not for Drmies repeated bullying of the other editors, belittling language and threats to warn me for vandalism I would not even be involved. He might not have done 3RR in succession but he has blanked whole sections of the article. Merzel admitted to having sexual relations with the members of his Sangha. It was admitted on his own personal page (which somehow is not relevant according to Drmies). It was talked about on several websites all that were cited, it was mentioned in a magazine article that was cited. Somehow none of these citations meet Drmies interpretation of the standard. Furthermore his abusive threatening behavior should not be taken lightly. How is it an editor can make judgements of a persons character, insult their grammar mistakes, threaten them with a warning, yet is touted as supporting the Wikipedia standard. The standard for BLP might be upheld but is the community to stand for an abusive despot? I have never been anything but civil regarding this matter and I hope to continue to be, it is just tough when I see the misinformation being spread. Check the records. All I did was revert a near page blanking by Drmies. I did not insert any false information into the article.  Golgofrinchian   (talk)  03:36, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, this frivolous report, which no doubt will be closed as "no action" soon, that's real civil. And look carefully next time: you didn't revert a "near blanking"--the version I reverted to here for instance has more reliable sources than you can shake a stick at. In other words, this revert, by one of your associates, removes reliable sources and replaces them with personal websites. Someone close this quickly, please. Drmies (talk) 12:52, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

 * comment I am a little confused over the way the 3RR has been constructed - it seems that the edits span a period of over 48 hours. Secondly - the policy of BRD.
 * They boldly change, I undo (asking for discussion and consensus) 1RR
 * they revert (without discussing or finding consensus), I revert (again asking for discussion and consensus) 2RR
 * they revert
 * So now we are left with a contested edit and I cannot change it as I will violate 3RR before them. How is this right?

 * So, Chaosdruid, the contested parts of the edit have been kept off the article page.--Toddy1 (talk) 06:51, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 * In this case, perhaps. My second comment was about BRD and 3RR in general - when trying to keep contended material off the article page we are left with being the first to breach 3RR when trying to get editors who made the initial changes to follow BRD.

Comments:

I’ve only come here because the editor has consistently been aggressive towards others("I have no tolerance"), shown a lack of good faith by using misleading edit summaries(tagging the page with m despite it being a controversial edit), and labeled their edit warring as a reversion of vandalism against editors(422391619). Furthermore a cursory look at their recent contributions history shows that in the past month they have repeatedly engaged in all of the above mentioned behavior including the intimidation and labeling of other editors as vandals. This seems to be part of a long term trend and when other editors and I asked Toa Nidhiki05 to consider his behavior, his response was argumentative and accusatory. And while he said at one point he was willing to talk, once he receives what he wants he shows no willingness to talk, and simply ignores or removes other users comments. Even after repeated attempts at having a polite dialogue with said editor they were still argumentative, believing that they had done no wrong and could continue their behavior. They show no willingness to stop or respect others, and their contributions history and record of previous blocks for editwarring and revert violations show the same.-Freepsbane (talk) 23:52, 4 April 2011 (UTC) Addendum: User:Toa Nidhiki05 has rollback rights, their use of them for largely edit warring, along with misleading labeling and tagging of other well meaning editors as vandals may also constitute an abuse of them.-Freepsbane (talk) 00:22, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

User being reported:

This request concerns a page move war on a topic subject to 1RR.

User:TheCuriousGnome objects to the existence of this template, which was previously called Palestine topics; she or he has made that abundantly clear. TheCuriousGnome decided to rename the template Template:Palestine nationalism and the region of Palestine. Reverted by User:Oncenawhile, TheCuriousGnome renamed the template Template:Palestinian nationalism.

This sort of outrageous game-playing is precisely why there is a 1RR restriction on all pages related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, broadly construed. See WP:ARBPIA. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 02:52, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment: It's unfortunate that you (Malik Shabazz) cannot block the users in question (as an admin) due to involvement. Definite violation of the 1RR rule. If I were an admin, I'd block both users in question.Jasper Deng (talk) 02:57, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
 * The original name of the template was "Template: Palestine and Palestinian nationalism". In retrospect, in my opinion, the original name itself was much better than the controversial name it was soon changed to. On March 31 the user Oncenawhile decided to change the name of the template to "Template:Palestine topics". He also changed the title of the template to "Palestine topics" and made sure to add a link to the article about the historic region of Palestine alongside the Palestinian flag. The template was now factually incorrect, misleading and inciting – suggesting that the the entire region of the historic Palestine belongs only to one side – to illustrate my point, it would be just as factually incorrect, misleading and inciting if I would have used the same namespace "Palestine topics" next to the flag of Israel and having the template focus only on Israeli related topics.


 * I decided that the only way we'll have a better template covering the topics relating to the Palestinian people in a balanced way, would be achieved by rolling up my sleeves and improving the original template, sharing my knowledge on the subject matter, and making sure that it would expanded significantly and cover the topics of both the Palestinian National Authority (the political entity of the Palestinian people) and the topics which focus on the Palestinian people. After many hours in which I collected and arranged the relevant information, I was able to formulate a much more comprehensive, balanced and appropriate template (I decided to change the name of the template to "Template:Palestinian National Authority and the Palestinian people" to reflect the topics which this template focused on). In addition to that, to make sure that the topic of the historic region is also covered in a comprehensive and balanced way, I created an additional template which mainly focused on the historical region of Palestine - I managed to balance this template by making sure that the information in the template would not focus only on one of the political entities that existed in the historic region of Palestine throughout history, or which exists today in the historic region of Palestine.


 * At this point, apparently the user Oncenawhile did appreciate the work I did, but I assume that due to the amount of additions done to the original template, he didn't like that his original version was altered so much and therefore he decided to (1) leave the changes I made untouched (2) restore his work back to the namespace "template:Palestine topics" (which at that point was a redirect). Because he wouldn't specify what specifically was wrong with my additions, I perceived that one of the main motivations for his action was to have the inclusive namespace "Palestine topics" only be associated with topics regarding the Palestinian people.


 * As a result of Oncenawhile's actions I decided to open a request to merge the content of the template with the more balanced templates about the historical land of Palestine and the template about the Palestinian National Authority and the Palestinian society. Unfortunately, because we didn't get many participants in this discussion, and because I wanted both Palestinians and Israelis to participate in the conversation to help balance this template - I posted a message in BOTH WP:ISRAEL and WP:IPCOLL (which I assume has many Palestinian participants) inviting people, with knowledge on the subject matter, to participate in the conversation in order to help balance the template. Unfortunately, the user Oncenawhile perceived this action as canvassing.


 * On April 3, I decided that despite a discussion was still undergoing about the merging of the templates' content, the name of the template and the title which appeared in the header, were factually incorrect and therefore I decided that on that basis I was allowed to change the template name and the header name to a factually correct title - I changed the name to "Template:Palestinian nationalism and the region of Palestine" (almost exact to the original title). In addition, I added a notice in the template's talk page where I explained why I decided to change the name of the template even though the discussion about the content consolidation was still going on.


 * The user Oncenawhile changed the name of the article soon afterwards to the invalid name "Template:Palestinetopics". As a result, I changed the name of the template to "Template:Palestinian nationalism". At this point Oncenawhile told me I broke the WP:1RR rule. Because Oncenawhile had, by this time, changed the name of the template multiple times (last time to an invalid name) even though it contained an obvious factual mistake which he refuse to regard, I decided to try and get assistance from the administrators through "Wikipedia:Requests for page protection" where I requested that a protection be made to the template. Unfortunately, the administrators denied the request stating that Semi-protection would do nothing since both me and Oncenawhile are Autoconfirmed.


 * I believed that I had the full right to prevent POV pushing of obvious factually incorrect information. I apologize if I broke any rule - this was certainly was not my intention. TheCuriousGnome (talk) 06:14, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi all. I will prepare a response to this and post it shortly. Oncenawhile (talk) 11:21, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

As promised, please see my carefully researched version of events below. The disruptive editing and gaming the system from TheCuriousGnome has been ongoing for a few days now. With respect to Jasper Deng's comments above, I believe I have acted correctly all the way through this difficult period, but happy for all-comers to explain otherwise.

30 March
 * I created Template:Palestine and Palestinian nationalism here, and placed links to it on 12 pages relating to the Palestine and Palestinian people.
 * TheCuriousGnome made a comment on the talk page here, which I responded to here by suggesting a change of name might solve the problem
 * TheCuriousGnome made the template permanently collapsed here
 * TheCuriousGnome began canvassing here

31 March
 * After waiting for a response to the suggested name change, I changed the name to template:Palestine topics here, on the assumption that this would deal with TheCuriousGnome's comment and had the added benefit of being consistent with Category:Country_and_territory_topics_templates as explained here
 * I suggested a neutral middle ground to the collapsing of the template here
 * I made a neutrally-worded request for comment at WP:IPCOLL here

1 April
 * TheCuriousGnome blanked the existing template and replaced it with a different template with a new title here, explained under the header Total Remake here
 * TheCuriousGnome renamed all 12 of the links from other articles away from Template:Palestine topics to new names
 * I restored the blanked template over the redirect here and posted a strong talk reponse here, which tried to reconcile matters. (NB In order not to turn up the heat further, I did not delete TheCuriousGnome's work as I believe I was entitled to do - as you can see from the talk, every attempt was made to diffuse matters. If I had known that TheCuriousGnome would continue the poor behaviour, I would not have bothered and would have reported the user immediately).
 * TheCuriousGnome posted a thoughtful talk response here

2 April
 * I posted a response to TheCuriousGnome on the user's talk page here and here
 * I restored links to template:Palestine topics on the 12 articles (NB as mentioned in the first talk post, I believe I had the right to replace the links, but in order to continue the debate in a civilised manner, I simply added them alongside TheCuriousGnome's links to the new versions)

3 April Thanks all for your consideration, Oncenawhile (talk) 12:45, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
 * TheCuriousGnome canvasses again, with POV statements made here and here without making such a statement at the most logical place of WP:PPalestine. Although the canvassing was brought to the user's attention immediately by Malik Shabazz, it was ultimately left to Malik Shabazz to add a neutral post on the Palestine talk page
 * Without warning, and just as the community discussion was beginning, TheCuriousGnome changed the name again, this time to Template:Palestinian nationalism and the region of Palestine with an explanation here
 * TheCuriousGnome then changed the redirect created automatically at Template:Palestine topics to one of TheCuriousGnome's own templates here which were already on many of the articles (a mess kindly undone by Malik Shabazz)
 * I reverted TheCuriousGnome's name change with the message "Rv Thecuriousgnome - there is an ongoing discussion about this - please be patient and let the community decide (see talk)" and talk post here
 * TheCuriousGnome immediately reacted by changing the name again, this time to Template talk:Palestinian nationalism
 * I immediately alerted TheCuriousGnome to the 1RR violation and requested that the user self-revert here and here
 * Instead of self-reverting, TheCuriousGnome made an immediate WP:RPP, which I responded to here
 * Result: 24 hours for edit warring. Anyone who proposes to reorganize templates in the I/P area needs a lot of patience and ought to listen carefully for consensus. EdJohnston (talk) 14:26, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi, further to the above, please could the page move which resulted in the 1RR violation be reverted? Reasons below:
 * Sets a bad precedent: If new status quos can be created by violating 1RR, this will only encourage further violations
 * Current name is unusable: The name "Palestinian nationalism" is not representative of either the content or the stated intention of the template which is to organise all top-level articles related to Palestine. I believe the choice of name was a WP:GAME tactic to delete the template - i.e. change the name to something unrelated, which then justifies the later changing of the content to match the new name.
