User has been ignoring Wikipedia conventions concerning consensus even after informed about it and has been removing large portions of the article unilaterally, despite repeated complaints and disagreements. There are 6 users in favor of the content in question remaining in the article, while 4 or 5 (possibly sockpuppets) are opposed. User did not even allow time for discussion, the first time waiting only nine minutes before removing content. User has repeatedly been involved in edit wars, has complete disregard for the concept of consensus, has issued personal attacks, been curt/rude and dismissive of/condescending towards other opinions, and has been blocked repeatedly:

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: for Bobrayner, for Cali4529

Reporting editor has made no edits in this article during this time frame. Article has been protected by User:Courcelles as shown here.

Comments:

After seeing the SHOUTING in the recent edit summaries for this article, I took a look and found a full-scale edit war between Bobrayner and Cali4529. Another editor, User:Chaswmsday, has been working in the article at the same time but does not appear to have been engaged in the content dispute directly. The apparent issue revolves around how the various destinations served out of the Atlanta airport are to be linked, with one editor claiming consensus by WikiProject Airports that the destinations are to be linked to the arrival airports, and another disagreeing. Both are undoing each others' edits as indicated by the diff summary above. Both were warned about edit-warring and appeared to have stopped now that the article has been protected. -- McDoob AU  93  00:26, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

User:Gregory Goble reported by User:EdChem (Result: Notified of discretionary sanctions)
Page:

User being reported:

In Talk:Cold_fusion Gregory Goble has objected to a sentence that has been in the article for quite some time. The section includes responses indicating that other editors are not in agreement with (or even understanding) the point Gregory is trying to make. Note IRWolfie-'s comment that "Your comment here seems like a stream of conciousness, can you please state what text or sources you have issue with. Then can you show what changes you propose and based on which reliable sources." which is a reasonable request. This comment was echoed here by Binksternet who said (after giving the 3RR warning and before the fourth revert was made that "Your contributions on the talk page are incoherent ramblings. It is impossible for other editors to understand your wish to delete the text you keep removing." – perhaps blunt, but certainly indicating an area where Gregory's editing is problematic.


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

Gregory has been reverted by with the edit summary "rv restored sourced information", by  with the edit summary "no consensus, you talk page section looks like a stream of conciousness rather than making a particular point, I suggest you refactor your comment there so your points can be discussed", by  with the edit summary "restore cited text", and by IRWolfie a second time with the edit summary "stop removing this sourced section, get some concensus first". Despite these comments, Gregory's talk page post just before his fourth revert included "The sentence I will delete again ..." indicating a clear intention to continue edit warring.

Comments:

Gregory Goble is a fairly new editor, as his user talk page shows, but he is also pushing a perspective on cold fusion that is a minority / fringe view. Even if he is not blocked, I would ask for a warning and formal notification of the cold fusion arb case and discretionary sanctions. EdChem (talk) 01:02, 31 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I only count three reverts. Thus, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I have formally notified him of the discretionary sanctions. HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?  12:50, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Firstly, I appreciate you giving a formal notification, but I would appreciate it if you would please explain which of the reverts I noted was not a revert, in your view? The text each removed was long-standing in the article.  I ask because I want to understand how I might have erred in my counting.  Thanks.  EdChem (talk) 12:55, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Not posting diffs as this is an abnormal edit war regarding my talk page. This user contacted me on my talk page regarding me making personal attacks. As far as I know I haven't made any but if this user wants to take me to AN/I that's perfectly fine. With that said, I hatted the conversation and asked that they stop posting regarding this topic on my talk page but they continue to do so. I've reverted their additions three times and mentioned in an edit summary that the next edit would go to 3RR but they apparently don't care. I've been involved with this user in the past on AN/I where I reported them for edit warring over a talk page previously as well. They have narrowly escaped two topic bans, you can read the most recent AN/I at Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive732 if you require more back story. Thanks.

Comment: I came here to post the same notice. User has consistently been warned about edit warring and 3rr, and his response has always been to remove the warning and continue the behavior. Between his multiple blocks, multiple ANI cases, and repeated problematic behavior (including edit warring), I believe the first step to a resolution is a preventative block to stop further disruption.

This user keeps adding a non-genre repeatedly to the stylistic origins list on the page for the musical genre "trance music". Not once has this user provided a citation in edit conflict and s/he has been very offensive (especially on the trance music talk page, and past history shows that this user has been like this before on numerous occasions), making several personal attacks and abusing their ability to lock the entire page. I tried to warn the user but it appears that their user and talk page are causing errors. (To add my reasoning for my edit: there are many genres of dance/danceable music, adding non-arbitrary tags would be highly inconsistent (and incorrect since the subjected genre hasn't always been tagged) -- there are subgenres of the genre in the origins list which is extremely chronologically incorrect, this is not what's disputed here, however) Danielthekid971 (talk) 18:25, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

 * ERIDU-DREAMING has been active for a year and before that edited as a dynamic IP, two of which were blocked for edit-warring on Right-wing politics. The article was semi-protected following this, after which the editor registered an account.  ERIDU-DREAMING admitted that the IPs were his at SPI a year ago.  Collect even participated in that.

 * I'm ok with accepting the change to LOW. However, the person making the change needs to update the reference that they are using so that the reference also points to a LOW citation.  When I follow the reference they provide the graph clearly shows VERY LOW. There is another link to a massive website and buried somewhere in there it reads LOW, however, the reader shouldn't have to go DIG for the fact. Why can't they just update the reference? Instead they resort to reporting me on some 3R rule?  That's not collaboration.  Let's just collaborate and make it better.  I suggest William M. Connolley update the site to LOW but also update the citation.  He's the one who wants it to read that way. 174.49.84.214 (talk) 20:45, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Amalthea tried to edit multi times and not go to Talk. I posted in talk and had to undo twice before they came in and then said they were "exempt from WP:3RR" even though they never went to talk before the major changes and never tried to reach consensus at all. I have told others, including John Coleman himself, to go to talk to get consensus so this is not new and if Amalthea even tried to be netural this would not have happened. I did look at what Amalthea said, after they went to talk, and removed a bad REF, added a new one, and was looking at others before they ran off to get the page locked. --Sallynice (talk) 15:42, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Comments:

We've been here before. Ckatz and Ruslik0, both admins, have a habit of deleting tags during ongoing disputs. (Ruslik0 also reverted the tag here; I have brought him to AN before for such behaviour, where it was described as unacceptable.) I made an edit to the lead of the article, one which covered information already in the text, Ckatz reverted it, told me to take it to talk, and I did so, tagging the article for POV. He then started deleting the POV tag despite the ongoing discussion, which he has not many any substantive contribution to. (I'm sure he'll have plenty of reasons why he shouldn't have to follow the rules, but he's involved in the dispute, and a POV tag for an NPOV dispute is routine.) — kwami (talk) 03:56, 3 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Kwami, I welcome any and all input as to your behaviour with respect to this ongoing matter. You have repeatedly and disruptively tagged multiple articles with "POV" banners simply because you have not been successful in convincing numerous other editors to accept your text. You have already been advised, warned, and even blocked with respect to this matter. You have repeatedly insulted and maligned good, solid, long-contributing editors in the Astronomy section with your tendentious and disruptive pursuit of your desires, to the point where you have ignored the outcome of RfC and strongly worded opinions from your peers. Frankly, this is not the proper forum - it should instead be some form of conduct review with respect to your behaviour. --Ckatz chat spy  04:03, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * You are once again being careless with the facts. I was blocked for edit warring with you, not for posting POV tags. This is also not related to the previous dispute, which was over whether we should accept objects as DPs based on sources other than your preferred one, but on whether we should reflect varying definitions astronomers have of 'planet'—which are already in the article—in the lead. I have not had a dispute with anyone but you over this, there are no "numerous other editors" I have not convinced. There is a discussion on the talk page to resolve this, and as an admin you should know how that works. You don't edit war over removing POV tags just because you don't like the POV. — kwami (talk) 04:08, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * If an independent, uninvolved editor feels the tag should stay, I'd of course self-revert. However, you are clearly playing a game here and elsewhere and I again welcome any opportunity to shine a light on your behaviour at dwarf planet, planet, their talk pages, and any of the related articles. --Ckatz chat spy  04:11, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I have taken a look at this dispute, and I have to agree with Ckatz. If an editor has to edit war to keep a "neutrality disputed" tag in an article, that's a sign that placing it there is probably not a good idea anyway. Polisher of Cobwebs (talk) 07:10, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * If they were uninvolved, I would agree with you. I thought we were not supposed to remove tags until the dispute was resolved. Does this mean that if I disagree with someone and they tag the article because of our dispute, I'm free to remove it, and that if the other editor objects, they have no recourse? — kwami (talk) 08:13, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * The problem is that the article existed in approximately the same form for several years. And you have been well aware of its content. That you suddenly decided that it was so bad to warrant NPOV tag has no rational explanation except that you are trying to make a point. NPOV tags are very unusual for astronomical articles. Ruslik_ Zero 10:02, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I only recently became aware of Stern's position. I knew that he wanted to continue calling Pluto a planet, but didn't know the details. I obviously would not edit an article to reflect a POV I wasn't aware existed. — kwami (talk) 04:57, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I am entirely uninvolved in this particular dispute, and as noted, agree completely with Ckatz that Kwamikagami's behavior is a problem. I have had a previous dispute with Kwamikagami at Astrology, in which he and I were both guilty of edit warring (to the exact same extent), and were both threatened with being blocked by Jayron32. Kwamikagami attempted to make certain changes to the lead of Astrology, and the resulting dispute revealed that he wasn't familiar with how astronomers use the term "planetary object" (see Talk:Astrology). Trying to impose one's preferred version of an article through edit warring is always bad, but it is especially bad when one isn't especially well informed about the subject. Polisher of Cobwebs (talk) 19:16, 3 February 2012 (UTC)


 * . Kwami, from reading the discussion on the talk page, there does not seem to be a consensus that a POV problem exists after several editors have commented. Removal of an NPOV tag at that point is not uncalled for. Since 3RR wasn't breached here (according to what you reported at least), your assertion seems to be that these edits were just unacceptable in general, and that's not the case. I'd advise you continue the conversation rather than worrying about the tag. Seraphimblade Talk to me 06:27, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Seraph, please review the page history. The tag was not removed when other editors concluded that there was no POV problem. I do that myself. Rather, Ckatz removed the it as soon as I posted it, simply because he did not agree with it. That is unacceptable, and an admin should know better.
 * However, if you maintain that it is acceptable, I will know that if I ever revert someone's edits, and they tag the article POV instead of edit warring over it, I am free to delete the POV tag as well, simply because I don't feel it is justified. I trust you'll apply the same standard if they then bring me before AN? — kwami (talk) 04:57, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

I've consistently asked User:Pernoctator to use the Talk Page to discuss rather than removing scripts from that page.

please see this user's previous edits he is a langauge warrior.there is a somewhat a consensus on not using scripts as per recent rfc on india related articles because of lot of langauge wars happening.also deepika padukone native tongue is not hindi.what is the rationale behind using hindi script.and newbie is not a abuse.he is a newbie.needs to learn.we all were newbies once upon a time.also the this user likes to issue bogus warnings.Pernoctator (talk) 12:48, 4 February 2012 (UTC)


 * All I was asking of the user in question is to discuss on the talk page before editing/removing content. A link to the RFC on the talk page would have avoided all this mess. I am no language warrior, if there indeed is a RFC, I will abide by it. User:Pernoctator needs to learn to comment on content rather than the editor.

 * The reverts by Night are vandalism. I added to the article by fixing the issue that has plagued it from the start. Night removed my bold fixes. 75.250.149.254 (talk) 19:25, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * And another thing: That page history is riddled with IP edit warriors, at least once a month. Why it isn't semi'd is beyond me.  Night w   19:27, 4 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Why the page offers an economic body as a country because of the malfeasance of EU editors is beyond me. The page will be fixed and made accurate no matter what steps you take to cloud the truth and add the EU even though it is not a country. As far as IP addys - heck I have a few hundred million to work with from class A down. That said, I am more than willing to sign up for an account now and again, just like I was willing to donate to keep wikipedia running on a yearly basis. As a side note, Night did break the 3RR rule and should be banned from editing for 24 hours. These are the facts. 75.194.236.73 (talk) 20:34, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

User Nightw broke the 3RR rule. This user should be banned, immediately. If he is not, then there is no truth to the doctrine. It can be clearly seen in the edit history of the page in question that Nightw reverted 3 times from my bold article changes (which in the end will be the living version of the document once bias is put aside.) Even if it was to be believed that Nightw was right - it doesn't matter based on the rules. However, if it does matter I'd like to understand the mitigation to circumvent the doctrine (which I assumed was iron clad, but maybe it only applies to certain people.) When are you allowed to break the 3RR rule? 75.194.236.73 (talk) 20:57, 4 February 2012 (UTC)


 * You are mistaken, Night w did not make more than 3 reverts at the article in question in a 24 hour period. Additionally, the chief problem here is not your edit-warring but rather that it is symptomatic of a persistent refusal to accept the consensus model for decision making by which Wikipedia is created and maintained. This, and evading your block by changing your IP, is rapidly leading me to think I ought to semi-protect the article for a longer period. CIreland (talk) 21:07, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * No, you are mistaken. While I don't fully understand how to show that, I can offer this image: http://i.imgur.com/bqZ9Z.jpg It shows three reverts. I have blocked them with red to help you count.
 * In order to "break the 3RR rule", an editor must make more than 3 reverts in 24 hours (policy is at WP:3RR). So, now that we've established that we can both count, perhaps you'd consider seeking consensus in the future when your edits are contested and being a little less belligerent in your manner. Your position in the dispute is not without merit, but you will convince no-one with this approach. CIreland (talk) 00:34, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

As far as semi-protection - it would be useless. I have hundreds of usernames and as a person in the technology sector I would easily edit any page that was not fully protected being I am at the hub of distillate fiber. I think the bigger issue here is why is this page including economic bodies that are not countries? Is that politically or nationalistically motivated? I'd say yes as would more people if they cared about it. The bottom line is EU editors will dictate the content of that article and will out vote (to a "consensus") ever single day of the week because it is within their self interest. Anyway, Nightw did violate the 3RR. This is fact. Please act on this or be a hypocrite. The rules are the rules - unless there are ways around them - and I'd love to hear why there is a way around this rule. 75.194.236.73 (talk) 21:28, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Maybe you should just hear what the rule is first? Would you like to start with that? CIreland wrote it out for you above. And thankyou, by the way, for providing the community with written intentions to troll the project—it makes it so much easier on all of us.  Night w   21:43, 4 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you for proving the inclusion of the EU is a nationalistic goal. It is not a country. It never was nor will be. You can spend all your time patrolling the article to make sure the propaganda set forth is available for all who land - but it will not change the fact that the EU is not a country. You can fight facts, but in the end the reality will rule the day. I am just astounded at the pure political force behind the EU inclusion in this article and I think that more attention should be brought to it. We all know that you and other EU editors spend their time making sure that the EU is at the top of a list of countries. It's sad. When this comes to conclusion, the EU will not be on a list of countries. It is not a country. It is not a country. It is not a country. How blinded by nationalism do you need to be to think the EU is a country? It is not a country. And while we all know the "consensus" reached previous was made up of 80% EU editors, that doesn't change the fact that the EU is not a country nor does it have special status in a list of countries. 75.194.236.73 (talk) 21:51, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * You were deleting useful, sourced content despite being reverted by multiple editors. This notion of "nationalism" is in your head. Jim1138 is Canadian, JDP90 is Indian, SchmuckyTheCat is American and I'm Australian.  Night w   22:15, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * The content is not valid. It doesn't matter where the editors are from. The EU is not a country. The EU is not a country. The EU is not a country. Are you also editing the article about humans riding dinosaurs? No matter how it is placed, sourced, discussed, etc. the EU will not be a country at the end of that conversation. This is not being addressed. Rather, we have an end around with statements such as "it offers useful information" or "it offers comparison." Lots of things offer information and comparison. That is not a criteria for inclusion. The EU is not a country. As much as people want to skirt this issue and make elaborate arguments to include the EU in a list of countries, it is not. It is not a country. 75.194.236.73 (talk) 22:35, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

 * If I read his statement correctly that he has hundreds of usernames and works in a data center then that netblock probably belongs to his employer, Verizon, and Wikipedia and the Foundation have relations and abuse contacts at major ISPs.

First of all, I don't work for anyone. Secondly, I could throw you a Sprint IP if I was that bored or an AT&T IP. But what is the point? I'm not doing a DDOS attack. I am not spoofing user names. I am trying to fix an article that is clearly in need of bold edits. My edits to the article in question were in quest of making it factual. So I have been working on "our project." I am not disrupting. I am being bold and fixing the core problems. If only I had an advocate to make it right. While the focus might be on the fact that I can't be banned, I think the focus should be on the inaccuracy of a given article and ways to fix it. 75.194.236.73 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 22:47, 4 February 2012 (UTC).
 * So, you're saying you're willing to WP:EVADE a valid block, just to be WP:DISRUPTIVE? The rules of Wikipedia somehow don't apply to you? You can't even scratch up the nerve to use WP:DR?  ( talk→   BWilkins   ←track ) 23:20, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I am being disruptive since the ban was put in place. Please back up your commentary. I have been fully civil and only posted here and at the talk page for the article in question. You can't even scratch up the nerve to comment on the topic. Rather, you evade and move around the subject. This is about a list of GDP by country. Nothing less. Nothing more. And yes, I'll take "my" ban for 24 hours out of respect. I'm just disappointed that the conversation is about rules rather than context. And the context is everything. The goal of wikipedia is to provide encyclopedic knowledge. It can't really do that when a faction decides that certain information should be included in an article that goes against it's core. This is the one of the hardest articles on wikipedia to edit. People from the EU (no matter if they are a novice or super wiki puba) want the EU to be in the list of countries, even though it is not. This should not be up to a vote. This should be a common sense edit. 75.193.229.90 (talk) 00:10, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Quack! -- a "new editor" (2 total edits) appears on a page to make reverts identical with a string of IP editors making reverts who were all previously warned.  Quack!  Collect (talk) 22:17, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Collect's slander violates WP:LIBEL and WP:EQ. As editor Franamax once said "we don't ridicule anyone here" but that is exactly what Writegeist and Collect have done. Collect's sort of behavior is sophomoric at best.  Clearly making reverts to a prior version by an IP would be "identical" to the IP's edit.  Please give Collect a WARN for NAGF, Personal Attack, Improper Use of Warn and the violation of WP:LIVEL and WP:EQ.Goodbyz (talk) 00:48, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * "Slander" and "libel" make us nervous.Jasper Deng (talk) 01:19, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * (Also, while we're being lawyerly, slander applies to spoken statements only.) --Chris (talk) 02:38, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I do not see how Collect can assume that an editor who made a single revert in an edit war is a sockpuppet, and the complaint against the IP's edit-warring is from several days ago. Suggest the new editor avoid using terms such as libel.  If dynamic IPs continue to edit-war, then ask for semi-protection.  TFD (talk) 03:14, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * "Several days ago"? Nope. Look at the rapid sequence all within a single day (24 hours).  And now that the "new user" has made a specific legal threat on my UT page, I think my failure to assume great good faith that  this person randomly made the same revert as a slew of idential IPs (all in a very close range), that there is more than sufficient evidence here.  Cheers. Collect (talk) 12:48, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * The anonymous edit-warring IPs (all the same person) miraculously disappeared the moment Goodbyz turned up saying, "I know the IP." Goodbyz's writing style has mirrored that of the anon edit-warrior. Furthermore Goodbyz has shown an identical determination to force overly long coverage of a minor incident into the article despite having UNDUE pointed out several times (not to mention questions of BLP and RS), and despite warnings not to edit war. Now that this report is up, Goodbyz has suddenly adopted a more collaborative manner in his/her single post (so far) today at the article's Talk.
 * So Goodbyz accuses Collect of slander, libel and disregard for EP:EQ without any supporting diffs. That's rich coming from a user whose total of fifteen posts includes several unfounded attacks, including this latest one today that was removed by an administrator. But i must say, I thought being called a "premadona" was absolutely precious, and I'll always treasure it. Writegeist (talk) 05:07, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning:

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:

Comments:

Editor has a long history of edit warring, warnings, and blocks, including a current topic ban, demonstrating unwillingness to obtain consensus. Per WP:3RR, "Even without a 3RR violation, an administrator may still act if they believe a user's behavior constitutes edit warring, and any user may report edit-warring with or without 3RR being breached."

Shortly after coming off a one week block for edit warring on this article, editor returned to revert yet again. This occurred despite being advised by an administrator (SarekOfVulcan) that "this is definitely not coatracking" and despite the editor's rejected unblock statement: "However, I realize that edit warring, justified or not, is not helpful. I ask to be unblocked if I promise to limit myself to 0RR on the article until clear consensus is established."

(Note also the editor's spurious rationale, WP:BURDEN, which states "You may remove any material lacking a reliable source that directly supports it". The material being repeatedly removed is indeed reliably sourced.)

—AV3000 (talk) 02:32, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Since when is this article under 1RR? – Lionel (talk) 03:33, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Irrelevant; per WP:EW, while 3RR is a bright-line rule, "Even without a 3RR violation, an administrator may still act if they believe a user's behavior constitutes edit warring, and any user may report edit-warring with or without 3RR being breached. The rule is not an entitlement to revert a page a specific number of times." "If, despite trying, one or more users will not cease edit warring, refuse to work collaboratively or heed the information given to them, or will not move on to appropriate dispute resolution, then a request for administrative involvement via a report at the Edit war/3RR noticeboard is the norm." AV3000 (talk) 04:26, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
 * This report would be valid if I hadn't made an effort to discuss the matter on the talk page. However, I have repeatedly discussed it, it is the editors who restore it who don't discuss it. Also, when I cited WP:BURDEN, I was talking about the first sentence - "The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material" - the burden lies with the editors who restore the material without attempting to justify it. However, I do realize that reverting right after the block expired was a bad idea. Nonetheless, it is a serious BLP issue that needs to be addressed, and hardly anyone has discussed it. NYyankees51 (talk) 04:35, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

for one week or until the dispute is resolved. There does appear to be a legitimate content dispute here. Reverting was probably a bad idea on NYyankees51's part, but I don't think one revert really warrants a block in this particular case. Further, he should be allowed to take part in the discussion. --Chris (talk) 05:07, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

I reverted that edit as per WP:BRD and pointed to the ongoing discussion at the talk page. User: Carlaude then re-reverted. Rather than engage in an edit war, I asked Carlaude to undo his revert while editors discuss the issue on the talk page. He/she apparently refuses. I thought administrator arbitration would be preferable to an edit war. Thanks! --Airborne84 (talk) 02:11, 7 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Glad that you wanted to avoid an edit war, but that's easily enough done&mdash;don't revert. Admins don't "arbitrate" content issues, but if you'd like some more voices in your discussion, you can consider an article request for comment. It really doesn't matter "whose" version of an article things stay on while consensus is formed, once it is, the edits will get made. BRD is a suggestion, not a mandate. Looks like there's a reasonable discussion going on, so I'd advise pursuing that. Seraphimblade Talk to me 04:09, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

S/he was reported (by me) roughly a week ago for a 3RR violation on the page Sweden during World War II (no action was taken because no one looked at the report for 24 hours, and it was then declared "stale", http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Edit_warring&diff=473194751&oldid=473182374).

Comments:

Dear administrators, User:MelbourneStar is insistent to use a very old image of Miley Cyrus as the profile image. After he reverted, I tried to engage him on his talkpage but he has so far not given any valid reason for keeping the old image in the lead. In the meantime, he has reverted many times as documented above. As you can see, 6 reverts in a span of 17 minutes and at least 4 if you have a stricter definition of "revert". I think a short block, or at least a stern warning, is needed for this particular user to start respecting Wikipedia policies. I am a relatively newcomer here and have been diligently working on the articles I started Sammi Giancola, Angelina Pivarnick, and Ty Nurse. I do not wish to get into an edit war with him. It is unfortunate. I hope this could be deal with in a timely manner. Thank you so much :-)--TheBigNatural (talk) 14:20, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
 * The first two reverts are really just one revert spread across two edits with no intermediate edits either. The last several are due to him accidentally rolling back himself, so that doesn't really count towards 3RR. That said, he's at 3RR right now. Reaper Eternal (talk) 15:56, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you :-) What should I do though? Could you at least give him a warning? He has since removed my posts from his talkpage, accused me of spamming his talkpage, and refuse to discuss --TheBigNatural (talk) 16:02, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Every editor has the right/authority to issue a warning. Indeed, unless you have properly warned them, blocks typically will not happen from this forum.  Use the Twinkle interface to warn them accordingly if you have not yet done so.  As well, since you would have advised them that they were reported here, they will see how "close" they came to a block ( talk→   BWilkins   ←track ) 16:18, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I actually did but he accused me of "spamming" his talkpage. He also removed not only the warning templates but my attempt to engage him :( I hope an admin could have a chat with him and get him to cease his aggressive behavior.--TheBigNatural (talk) 16:21, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

User:Eschoir reported by User:History2007 (Result: )
There is a WP:3RR situation, as stated here. Four editors have been in discussion and yet the user crossed the line even after being advised to avoid it.

The edits:


 * first
 * second
 * third
 * fourth
 * fifth

I left a message for Eschoir about this. History2007 (talk) 21:16, 4 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I do not know how to explain this, but after Eschoir was notified of this ANI notice, we received:


 * sixth


 * with the user crossing the "5RR line". I do not agree with that edit, as it runs against the talk page discussions, but will not revert it, given the situation. Something needs to be done here to make sure policy does not just get ignored at will. History2007 (talk) 23:33, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok, is it just me, but are only the first 2 real reverts of the same information? None of the others are related whatsoever. Just because later ones are "against consensus" does not make them 3RR - it's pretty obvious someone needs to follow some WP:DR processes.  ( talk→   BWilkins   ←track ) 23:39, 4 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I guess I do not understand 3RR. But there are 3 editors who disagree with those edits and Eschoir on the other side. Now if I revert his edit is that an edit war or not? History2007 (talk) 23:54, 4 February 2012 (UTC)


 * and seventh Esoglou (talk) 09:16, 5 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, and given that there are 3 other editors who question those edits and their sources, at some point WP:Forum needs to be used to avoid general talk and WP:V needs to be respected. History2007 (talk) 09:23, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * "An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert." I have difficulty in making this statement in WP:3RR agree with what BWilkins says above about "only the first 2 real reverts of the same information".  I presume I am misunderstanding one or other of the statements.  Esoglou (talk) 14:25, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I think there is no question that Eschoir has crossed the line now, the only remaining question is: "how many times did he cross it?" History2007 (talk) 15:28, 5 February 2012 (UTC)


 * And we have a potential WP:NPA as well. History2007 (talk) 04:01, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

We now have a clear case of WP:NPA. Is WP:NPA beside the point these days, or should something be done here? History2007 (talk) 13:25, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

I know, The Wrong Version has been protected. Discuss the issues on the talk page, work out your differences instead of resorting to reporting other users. Your attempt to work out this disputed was essentially "I'll report you". That's not acceptable. Sometimes valuable contributors are found from discussion of differences once they get some understanding on how these issues work. --WGFinley (talk) 18:11, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
 * No. "I'll report you" was my attempt to stop the edit-warring, by bringing to attention the (apparently meaningless) 1RR revert restriction. I resent such an unwarranted derisive tone. Please notice that I myself (and others) already started discussing with Tomboe regarding sources and their support for Taivo's addition.
 * I'm not saying the version you protected was "wrong", I'm just pointing out its the same version that was pushed into place by the 1RR violation.
 * Wustenfuchs is no newbie, he's an old (desert) fox :), and he was warned about the 1RR restriction in advance before making it. He "understands how these issues work".

 * Dear administrators, I just started editing Wikipedia a few days ago, so I apologize if this is not the right noticeboard for this. As you can see, User:Morbidthoughts did not actually violate WP:3RR. However, it is very obvious that he is violating the spirit of the rule as his 1st revert today occurred approximately 24 hours after his last revert from yesterday (please note the time frame). Meanwhile, this user fails to assume good faith and stalked me from the very start   (the issue with the other user has been resolved today as the user in question apologized to me for his behavior due to mental health issues and decided to take a break from editing ). I patiently explained to him User_talk:TheBigNatural/Archive_1 but he has ceased responding in the discussion. I posted on his talkpage to warn him about edit warring and explain to him that he does not own all the articles on his watchlist . I have been working diligently on many Jersey Shore related articles I created and have no desire to be dragged to an edit war with this user, but his aggressive behavior and refusal to discuss are not conductive to a harmonious collaborative atmosphere. I think a strong warning is necessary or perhaps a short block. Sorry if this is the wrong place to report this incident.

I have linked only one of the edits on both pages. The user hasn't shown a willingness to talk, even when I have presented opportunities to. There are simply too many reverts to list them. If you wish, I will.68.39.100.32 (talk) 03:28, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I dont know anything about this current case. But based on past experience with the article Republican Party presidential primaries, 2012 and both editor Lolthatswonderful and anonymuse contributer from the IP address 68.39.100.32 I would think that 68 has a big part in the editwar he accusses Lolthatswonderful of making Jack Bornholm (talk) 12:23, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually at closer examination I see that at the 1st revert Lolthatswonderful simply is trying to keep a note in the infobox of the article. A note that have been discussed in lenght at the talkpage and where a consencus have been reached a day or two before. Jack Bornholm (talk) 12:30, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Then why can't Lol say that? My reply to him would be that I have kept everything; just made it neater.68.39.100.32 (talk) 19:44, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Added a revert from today. Continuing the Edit war. Can a mod please protect the page for a day? It has nothing to do with notes of any kind. Simply because the user feels that his edit is neater - without discussion.68.39.100.32 (talk) 01:13, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

User:NatGertler reported by User:Malapterus (Result: Temporary compromise)
Page: One Million Moms As this is the first article I have written I am slow to accuse a more experienced editor of undue bullying. While I am certain my article has been reverted well over three times in 24 hours, being newer I do not know how to prove this.

What I can say, is that this user has been repeatedly making the same changes to the article and has flagged it for speedy deletion twice. Per the Talk [] page, no other user has complained and both deletions have been contested by third parties.

I will say as my first article it may have had issues with tone that suggested bias, but in response to this single user's edits and complaints I have made changes to make the article more balanced. I have also stated repeatedly that I do not intend to write this article by myself and the article will be less biased once constructive editors. The user has repetedly deleted a valid citation and replaced it with 'citation needed,' they have deleted sections and quotations that are also cited. The full page as I have written it is hosted on my Talk page because I really do not know where else to put it.

The worst part of these reversions is that they not only delete content, they also undo edits that I believe anyone would agree are a proper step toward the NPOV which seems to be the cause of the issue. For example, i had origionall posted:

'The group openly states that they are waging a 'culture war.' '

After realizing that was a bit harsh and somewhat less-than-accurate, I replaced it with;

'The group openly refers to their efforts versus these materials as a 'culture war.' '

This is also the line that the user keeps removing my citation from, the citation being this page: []

Again, I hate to accuse a more experienced editor so early on in my involvement with Wikipedia. However, seeing as the user is the only one voicing an issue with it, they are continually reverting the article, and they are not making constructive edits to improve it, I would have to take this as some manner of bullying. If the article is reverted again I will add the revision to my user talk page.

Malapterus (talk) 16:52, 9 February 2012 (UTC)


 * edit- Upon further review it appears that the second request for deletion was in fact done by a second user.

Malapterus (talk) 16:59, 9 February 2012 (UTC)


 * . NatGertler has only edited American Family Association (redirected from One Million Moms) four times recently, and they were all consecutive edits, so they can count at most as one revert.  This is nowhere close to being an edit war.  (Perhaps you meant a different article?)  --Chris (talk) 17:00, 9 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I see, the warring is over the redirect status of One Million Moms. I will take a look.  --Chris (talk) 17:06, 9 February 2012 (UTC)


 * It is also unclear what the Talk:Kushwaha page has to do with anything, as neither of you appear to have edited it, at least within half a year. --Chris (talk) 17:02, 9 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Since the time I have posted this, someone has completely deleted the article and replaced it with a redirect to American Family Association. I am not sure how the Kuwasha link got into this, it must have been an accident and belongs most likely on the prior user's complaint. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Malapterus (talk • contribs) 17:08, 9 February 2012 (UTC)


 * It looks like when you created your report, you not only intertwined your content into their report but removed some of their report as well: . In the future, please use the big "Click here to add a new report" link at the top of the page to avoid corrupting other editors' reports.  --Chris (talk) 17:13, 9 February 2012 (UTC)


 * sorry! I will use said button in case of any future reports, though I hope there will not be any. Malapterus (talk) 17:30, 9 February 2012 (UTC)


 * This is the first time it has been a redirect, it only happened after I posted a warning on the Talk page. Preivously the page was contiunually reverted to a simplified form lacking information and missing pertinient revisions.

Malapterus (talk) 17:10, 9 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I would like to also point out that though I disagree with this user, I have left their note at the top of the page that its neutrality is in question. I removed a note stating that it was a biographical artcile needing completed, and put the Incomplete note on there myself. I want this article to stand on its own as it covers a relevant subject that persons should have access to information about.

I do not know if I am supposed to keep 'defending' the article so as it stands I will not restore it from its current redirect status until I get some indication here that it is acceptable to do so. Malapterus (talk) 17:18, 9 February 2012 (UTC)


 * At this point I would say you should use the talk page to try to engage the other editors in discussion and try to argue your case. If the edit war continues much longer I will probably just protect the article anyway to force discussion.  It would be better to discuss before reaching that point.  --Chris (talk) 17:23, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * There is no edit warring over the redirect status. I boldly redirected it because with one independent source it didn't appear it needed its own article.  No edits have happened to the article since I redirected it.  GB fan 17:29, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, I made that comment after a quick look at the history, since I was going to investigate it further. There does seem to be a content dispute regarding the pre-redirect state of the article, and that appears to be what this report is about.  If all parties agree that a redirect is sufficient then there is nothing to address here.  Otherwise, there really should be a discussion.  Stepping all over each other with only limited attempts at discussion on the talk page isn't a good way to approach a dispute.  --Chris (talk) 17:32, 9 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I do not agree that a redirect is sufficient. The group is important enough to have been mentioned on nationwide daytime television and has alleged to have had effect on many programs and advertisers. I will restore it to its own article and attempt to spark a real discussion as to whether it is valid. While the article has limited sources, it has only been around for a day, and with such interest in the subject I am confident that other users will add sources and valuable information as time progresses. Malapterus (talk) 17:46, 9 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Then please discuss any disputes on the article's talk page as they arise. Follow the WP:BRD process.  --Chris (talk) 17:51, 9 February 2012 (UTC)


 * As the accused user, let me note that the central claim, "this user has been repeatedly making the same changes to the article and has flagged it for speedy deletion twice", is quite simply false. I have flagged it for Speed Deletion zero, count 'em, zero times. User:Antoshi flagged it for speedy in this edit and this edit. That ain't me. Have I edited this article? Yes. In addition to various spelling and capitalization clean-ups, I have deleted an unsourced claim that the subject of the article was a "terrorist group", have removed WP:OR used for a criticism section, removed a quote that was used to say that the group had stated they were engaging in "culture war" when the quote merely asked someone else to stay out of a culture war. Oh, and I deleted a statement that the group's facebook page said the group had 40,000 members when all the facebook page said was that the page had been "liked" 40,000 times. I may have made that change twice, so there may have been a repeated change... but he's inserted it at least three times (the third of which I responded to at Talk), as well as reverting other edits from other editors. And yes, I tagged the page for POV concerns as it as clear that User:Malapterus was trying to build an attack page. The accusing user seems to be blaming me for every edit that has occurred in the article, when many of those have been by other editors and the blame for almost all of them lands at the accuser's feet, for they were almost all appropriate edits. --Nat Gertler (talk) 18:08, 9 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I have added a note to the top of the page requesting people discuss the article prior to changing existing information. Please let me know if there is a better way to do this than I have done. With that, I will leave this matter up to the Talk page and hope a global consensus can be reached. Malapterus (talk) 18:11, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Malapterus is clearly building an attack page that can be considered vandalism. NatGertler has done nothing wrong. On a relevant side note, I have redirected the article. It has gotten out of hand. Malapterus is free to work on it in userspace and improve neutrality then bring it back. NYyankees51 (talk) 18:32, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

. Malapterus has userfied the article and the mainspace article will remain a redirect for now. --Chris (talk) 19:08, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

 * 3RR was never technically broken... there were three reverts over a period of about 26 hours. 3RR indicates that there must be no more than three reverts in a 24 hour period.  So the user would have had to revert once more, and have reverted in a shorter span of time.  Nevertheless, the edit warring is persistent and 3RR is not a license to revert, so  for 24 hours for edit warring.  --Chris (talk) 17:36, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

In his, miffed about the inclusion of the EU on this list, said that other trade unions and California should be added to the list for comparison.

 * I have not broken 3RR. I was only defending my changes from unsupported, reflexive reverts. I have extensively laid out the reasons for the changes in the article on the talk page. These reasons have been ignored in a flippant fashion and no one seems to be taking the time to understand the very clear logic. Rather, the modus operandi is to revert to the stale version based on aged arguments. Nightw has stated that the lists must be single source. Well, if that is the case the NAFTA data comes from the IMF and thus can be included on the IMF list. Nightw says that mixing data is a bad thing. Yet, all the lists are referenced to sources which do not include the EU. Instead, a separate reference is used to mix the EU into the primary list. A moment needs to be taken to step back from the article and approach it in an objective manner as well as listening to the discussion rather than acting on reflex. zredsox (talk) 15:52, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * An extremely clear case of edit-warring. Have you ever read the bold, revert, discuss concept?  You may not edit war, even if you believe you're right.  If you have indeed also been editing the same article(s) while logged in AND while logged out, you're violating WP:SOCK.  I would appreciate hearing your response. ( talk→   BWilkins   ←track ) 16:27, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I have nothing to add. The system here is so flawed that it is almost impossible to gain any traction even when offering a valid argument. There is no such thing as consensus on the page in question. The page was set in stone by a popularity contest years ago. Attempts to break the status quo are repelled with the vigor of bees protecting the hive (mentality.) If you would take a moment to read my statements on that talk page, you would see I have taken the time to dispel aged logic (ie. NAFTA is a trade block. NAFTA does come from the single source cited. The EU is not an IMF member, etc) and used facts and references to back up my statements. Yet it won't change a thing as that false, assumptive mythos is built in to every revert and every counterpoint on that page, everyday. Thus, I am going to self remove myself from this discussion and the GDP discussion being it would be counterproductive for me to attempt to bring a rational point of view to the conversation when it is so clearly shaded. I bid you adieu. zredsox (talk) 16:57, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Before you take your ball and go home, I'll happily introduce you to dispute resolution processes. Yes, consensus may be a popularity contest at times - but that's how this project operates, and good editors learn how to work within the framework, not by railing against it ( talk→   BWilkins   ←track ) 17:03, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

I pleaded with Jweiss not to edit war. He just couldn't help himself. – Lionel (talk) 06:28, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Jweiss11 has a very long and unblemished record on wikipedia. It appears that he considered the labelling of a named group of indiviuals in this disambiguation stub as a BLP violation and he said so when Lionelt posted a warning on his talk page. Perhaps the page should be fully protected for a period to allow more calm and carefully reasoned discussion on the talk page than has happened so far. There is something odd going on here, because it is not normal for disambiguation stubs to make non-neutral statements of this kind.  Mathsci (talk) 07:02, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * BLP exemption doesn't hold water. BLP is for a living person. Jweiss is edit warring over a "group"--not any named individual. Additionally the policy clearly states do not rely on the BLP exemption as an excuse to edit war. – Lionel (talk) 07:15, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Protection is not necessary. Jweiss is the only editor edit-warring. He is reverting multiple other editors. Why should the rest of us be penalized for his bad behavior? Block him and the problem goes away.– Lionel (talk) 07:17, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Is an "unblemished record" an excuse to edit war? Does he have a license for disruption? Is there is different set of rules for the Jweiss' in the Wiki? – Lionel (talk) 07:20, 11 February 2012 (UTC)


 * And regarding "non-neutral statement" that was the result of a long and arduous consensus, which if I recall you were involved in. Noone said anything about "non-neutral" statements after weeks and weeks of discussion. – Lionel (talk) 07:25, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

 * The above quotation was placed here without a signature by Lionelt. Please could he sign his comments? Thanks, Mathsci (talk) 10:50, 11 February 2012 (UTC)


 * If this were a sourced article, you might have a point. However, this is a short unsourced disambiguation stub. Moreover, as the founding member of WikiProject Conservatism, the dismissive tone you have used on Jweiss11's talk page and in your comments here and in edit summaries does not look good. Mathsci (talk) 07:30, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I am overcome with remorse over my dismissive remarks and sincerely regret founding WPConservatism. Now. Can we get back to the edit warring?????????? – Lionel (talk) 07:37, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think disingenuous comments are particularly helpful. The underlying problem here seems to be with the level of the disambiguation stub in the heirarchy of wikipedia articles. Please see my remarks about that point in the post below that of Stephan Schulz. Mathsci (talk) 10:57, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * It appears that he is only trying to push his point of view (see ). Klilidiplomus+Talk 07:26, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

I kindly asked User:Jweiss11 not to edit war on the militant atheism article and to discuss the issue with other editors but he reverted me as well. After seeing this, I placed an official warning (his second warning after being previously warned by another user for edit warring there) but he ignored the warning, and reverted me once again. He then proceeded to revert another user. Moreover, the template on the talk page of the article cautions users against acting rashly. This behaviour is simply unacceptable. Thanks, AnupamTalk 07:31, 11 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Mathsci, thank you for your observation about the oddness of this disambiguation page. What we have actually is a POV push by Lionelt, Anupam, and perhaps others supported by a bloc from WikiProject Conservatism.  Defamation of living people on Wikipedia is far less acceptable than anything I have done. Jweiss11 (talk) 07:35, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Stop the defamation. Anupam nor I wrote the dab. The pro-atheism editors wrote the dab after they deleted the article. – Lionel (talk) 07:39, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Then you are simply protecting the defamatory content made by those pro-atheism editors. Jweiss11 (talk) 07:42, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * There are no living people to defame on the dab !!!!! – Lionel (talk) 07:43, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * The implication here should be obvious enough. The talk page is appropriately flying a BLP tag. Jweiss11 (talk) 07:51, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * You're justifying your disruptive behavior on an "implication"??? I'm sorry, that just isn't good enough. Without a warm living breathing body in this dab you are just plain edit warring. BLP in no way applies to this dab. The BLP tag was placed long ago when this page was an article. – Lionel (talk) 07:56, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Lionelt: the BLP tag absolutely still applies here because of those close association of the terms on this dab page with specific living people. Furthermore, Wikipedia, structurally speaking, is a place for facts, not repulsive, biased agendas. You and your cohorts are the disruptors. What I've gone to "war" with here, all in defense of Wikipedia's central tenets, is your push to celebrate reactionary fear over sober analysis and your efforts to smear those who challenge your pathetic bias. Jweiss11 (talk) 08:33, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I would say this is a borderline case. I can see the BLP by association, but only just. Lionel, for somebody whose "self-control is the stuff of legend", I would seriously suggest to tone it down. Jweiss11, it is very rarely a good idea to do serial reverts, especially of content that has been around for quite a while without causing significant disruption. The issue now has escalated to at least two noticeboards. Please stop it. I suggest you both cooperate to find a neutral, well-sourced way of introducing the link between the dab and the article (if there is significant link). And by well-sourced, I mean a reliable secondary source, not a link to one pundit (or the other) used as an example. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 08:53, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Having thought a little about the particular issue, it would seem more reasonable and neutral to disambiguate New Atheism on a disambiguation page for Atheism than on a page which many readers might see as a derogatory reference to this group. A possible solution here might be to create a disambiguation page for Atheism (disambiguation) with a link at the top of Atheism to that page, replacing the reference to Atheist (band). Militant atheism would then become a redirect to Atheism (disambiguation). This is one possible way of solving the neutrality issue, which might be worth exploring. Mathsci (talk) 10:43, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * That's definitely worth exploring, Mathsci. Would you mind re-posting this proposal on the Militant atheism discussion page as a new subsection at the bottom, appropriately phrased, so that people can support, oppose, or comment?  Regards, AzureCitizen (talk) 14:50, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

An RfC was held this past fall which discussed whether the content of militant atheism should be split and the militant atheism article being made into a disambiguation page. However, no one ever ended up moving the content to its appropriate place. The militant atheism article was made into a disambiguation page, but the content was never moved, which is resulting in this problem.

Some contend the article should include


 * His legacy and the masks used to celebrate Guy Fawkes Night were partial inspiration for a graphic novel by Alan Moore titled V for Vendetta. It was later turned into a movie by Warner Brothers.

At least 8 other editors have mentioned this. It is instantly reverted by two or three people every time. Consensus has not been reached.

See talk page for details. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Guy_Fawkes#No_mention_of_V_for_Vendetta_or_anonymous.3F

The argument comes down to a misunderstanding. Those favoring removal make the point "explain what the mask has to do with Guy Fawkes?" while others (at least two independent editors) provide sources explaining how the historical use of the mask and the historical holiday inspired new works. At least two other fictional works are represented in the legacy section. Although the claim was made that one must use a scholarly source even though, the source used is clearly reliable and fits within the critera outlined by the "News Organizations" section of identifying reliable articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Plutotamus (talk • contribs)


 * This is a very biased and inaccurate account of events. The literary works presently included in the Guy Fawkes article describe how his representation in those works demonstrates an evolving public perception of the man. But the bottom line is that Guy Fawkes is not represented in V for Vendetta, which incidentally tells us nothing about Fawkes. Malleus Fatuorum 23:16, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

 * You have deleted citations to an existing passage. The passage stands but the citations have been removed. And you yourself have committed 3RR. Lung salad (talk) 15:10, 11 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Eusebeus proposed a rewritten version on the James section. Then History2007 proposed a completely different rewritten version on the James section that Eusebeus quickly accepted without any reservations whatsoever. History2007's version was biased concentrating solely on authenticity without giving reasons why the passage was disputed. The passages supported by verifiable citations were removed completely. This is article should be NPOV and not POV. Eusebeus has not given an account of his reverts. Lung salad (talk) 20:39, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Comments:

has been involved in an interesting but contentious expansion of content at the above article. His edits and positions have attracted some controversy, especially his apparent insistence on ignoring a mainstream scholarly consensus with which he would appear to disagree. Now, per my long experience at places like WP:WQA and per WP:DR, I reverted to a version of the article from several weeks ago with the suggestion that the content expansion be treated systematically through its discussion on the talk page with the idea of then moving consensus wording into the article. I fear that User:Lung salad may be somewhat of a novice, as s/he seems largely unaware of basic wikipedia practices so it is important that in addition to enforcing a 3RR, the process for dispute resolution, consensus building, reliable sourcing, etc... be explained to the editor. Eusebeus (talk) 12:48, 11 February 2012 (UTC) (Post scripta: User has 4000 edits, so the failure to engage is not the result of inexperience. Article should probably be locked briefly to allow for some cooling off and consensus to form.


 * Why should any article containing verifiable citations have those citations deleted? Lung salad (talk) 14:47, 11 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Wrong on all counts. The mainstream scholarly consensus view is presented in the said article. Verifiable citations about the subject matter that conform with Wikipedia policy are being deleted from the article. There is no Wikipedia prohibition on the history of a subject matter of an article, yet this does not even exist in the said article. All my edits to the article had verifiable citations that conform to Wikipedia guidelines, yet these have been removed. Lung salad (talk) 13:18, 11 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Also like to add that content to Lede of article contained several repetitions that were also repeated in the main body of the article. These repetitions were removed several days ago, which the above editor restored today. The Lede to the article was overlong, Ledes to Wikipedia articles should be brief and serve as introduction to the subject matter, not spring straight to conclusions that are repeated both in Lede and main body of the article. Lung salad (talk) 13:22, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

This article has a lot of NPOV problems. Key details are being kept out (like that Hegesippus dates the date of James the Just to 69 CE meaning that the James of Josephus who died in 62 CE is a different James) and weasel words in sources are being used to keep out relevant information. This starting to echo the nonsense seen in the Christ myth theory article--BruceGrubb (talk) 21:27, 11 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment: Up to 11 reverts now in 1 day WP:TE and general disregard for policy. As clarified here user:Lung Salad is up to 11 reverts now in one day, and does not deny crossing the 5RR, 6RR or 7RR lines, etc. but has attempted to justify the breaches via "content based arguments", which are of course beside the point in a bright-line rule case such as WP:3RR. The user is clearly aware of the breach and does not deny it, but argues that the breaches were justified. Moreover, as stated here the user has not only shown a tendency to disregard policy, but continues to argue that policy can be ignored, or does not matter. This has to stop if Wikipedia policies are to mean anything, else policies can be "breached at will" via lengthy content-based arguments. This needs to stop. History2007 (talk) 09:09, 12 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Reverts listed by me above include the removal of vandalism by a user who also vandalised other Wikipedia articles in the process. Other users who broke the 3RR rule and who are in sympathy with the above user are not cited above. There is no "tendency to breach Wikipedia policy" since all my edits are supported by verifiable citations conforming to Wikipedia guidelines. Such edits have been removed from the article. None of my other edits in any other Wikipedia articles have been removed like on "Josephus about Jesus". Lung salad (talk) 09:18, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

However, just because ONE party is subject to 1RR, that does not ever permit the other party to draw them into a violation.

And I don't consider any one my "primary enemy", you just coined that term. And the ANI report was not related to this user (though he still had to mess with it). And there are others that agree that the IP was rude... but don't spill it here. DS reverted instead of discussing. And I did not make him do that... there's no way I'm going to be held responsible for his reverts where he chose to make them specifically to annoy me or to get his WP:POINT across after no consensus.
