Comments:

This is only 3 reverts, and there haven't been any recent blocks, so I expect a formal warning rather than a block. However, the nature of the blanket removal of longstanding content together with the failure to reply to repeated user talk messages or to engage on the article page even after I opened a thread there means a stern warning is definitely in order. But in view of the nature of the reverting I wouldn't actually object to a block for blatant edit warring. The reverting involves the wholesale removal of longstanding content even though the sourcing issue that prompts the removal is under current discussion on the talk page at Talk:Hugo_Chávez; repeatedly leaving a broken reference (search for /ref> in his preferred version); and removing a reference not objected to (UNESCO).

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [diff]No More Mr Nice Guy made no attempt to talk

Comments:

No More Mr Nice Guy has apparently taken it upon himself to remove any recent edits that do not agree with his opinions on the basis that they come from "non-reliable sources." Rather than discussing the reliability of the sources, he has decided that the most diplomatic way to address the issue is to do 9 reverts within a span of 31 minutes without once going to the talk page.

These reverts violate the 1RR violation, as the BDS page relates to the Arab-Israeli conflict: WARNING: ACTIVE ARBITRATION REMEDIES The article Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions, along with other articles relating to the Arab–Israeli conflict, is currently subject to active arbitration remedies, as laid out during a 2008 Arbitration case, and supplemented by community consensus in November 2010. The current restrictions are: All articles related to the Arab-Israeli conflict broadly construed are under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24 hour period). When in doubt, assume it is related.

VivaWikipedia (talk) 10:33, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * These are all consecutive edits, which makes it a single revert, not nine reverts. From WP:3RR: A series of consecutive saved revert edits by one user with no intervening edits by another user counts as one revert.  Have you tried discussing it with the editor? - SudoGhost 10:38, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Comments:

I've added text with copious citations to back up my edits. User:Y26Z3 continues to revert my edits, refusing to accept my citations, instead making vague excuses, trying to come up with something new every time I back up my edits. This editor has appeared to have similar complaints about vandalising other articles.

Goodsdrew (talk) 22:47, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * As a third-party editor doing recent changes checking, I am on the side of Goodsdrew that user Y26Z3 has broken the three-revert rule by repeatedly reverting Goodsdrew's removal of poorly-sourced information in another article, Lusitanic. Y26Z3 has already labeled me and Goodsdrew as vandals, . Goodsdrew has been removing content in the article, which states that the word 'Lusitanic' is not a recognized word in any known language. Sources that made reference to this statement were searches on online dictionary websites which yields no positive results (see for an example of content and sources), and Y26Z3 has been attempting to explain the validity of the sources and thus the content, through the relevant edit descriptions and through posting a section on the article talkpage . User SudoGhost has also left a comment in the talkpage section detailing the reasons why the lack of dictionary entry is not a concrete proof on the validity that the word in question, 'Lusitanic' is not a recognized word. I believe that Goodsdrew is faultless for his engagement in the revert war, as exemptions are made under the three-revert rule that the removal of poorly sourced material is not counted as a violation of the rule.  Optakeover  (Talk)   01:00, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The editor also made 9 reverts on Lusitanic in the last 24 hours, in addition to the reverts on the Hispanic and Latino Americans article. - SudoGhost 01:09, 4 June 2012 (UTC)


 * . The amount of edit-warring by both editors on both articles is completely ridiculous. --  tariq abjotu  05:00, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for resolving this issue. Personally I would assume good faith on the part of Goodsdrew, especially because at least from what I see, Y26Z3 refused to get it. I would have supported a reduced block on Goodsdrew. Optakeover  (Talk)   10:26, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

“Lusitanic” is not a word in the Oxford, Cambridge, Merriam-Webster, American Heritage, or Macmillan dictionaries. It also does not have an entry in the Britannica, Columbia, or Oxford World encyclopedias. In regard to its etymology, “lusitanic” has no entry in Klein's "A Comprehensive Etymological Dictionary of the English Language" or "Barnhart Dictionary of Etymology". Furthermore, in regard to its use in American slang, it is not in Chapman's "Dictionary of American Slang". Thank you, (Y26Z3 (talk) 05:05, 6 June 2012 (UTC))
 * First, I am absolutely not going enter into an edit war. I am allowed to add the following to Lusitanic now that I am unblocked though correct?


 * Well, Y26Z3 certainly took the block to heart. After 9RR on Lusitanic and multiple editors reverting them in this regard, they continue to revert right after the block expired. - SudoGhost 10:27, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll be nice and assume good faith, since this time he worded it without saying that the word is not recognised, so this time the sources cannot be shot down under WP:SYNTH. Still however, that other than the fact that this edit has gone against consensus, doesn't contribute to the quality of the article (there isn't a need to know that the word isn't in a dictionary), the user has gone ahead and re-included the same material over which he entered an edit war with another user. Optakeover  (Talk)   16:27, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Optakeover has said here that the sources cannot be shot down under WP:SYNTH, yet has undone the edits, saying that the reason they were undone is because they fail WP:SYNTH, you can find that here, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lusitanic&action=history. There is actually a consensus that it should be there. (Y26Z3 (talk) 21:53, 6 June 2012 (UTC))
 * The lack of consensus is evident on the talk page and article history. The page has been protected, so now would be the time to establish that consensus. - SudoGhost 14:40, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, lusitanic fails WP:UNDUE as explained in the talk page. (Y26Z3 (talk) 23:03, 7 June 2012 (UTC))

In regard to my most recent edits to the page Hispanic and Latino Americans (by the way, I say most recent because there were numerous other issues that Goodsdrew continually reverted, but eventually stopped),
 * First, I changed U.S. Government to U.S. Office of Management and Budget because that is correct. Goodsdrew still maintains that it is the U.S. Government?
 * Second, I deleted a redundant, superfluous part of the article; this is addressed in the talk page.
 * Third, Goodsdrew cited the Journal of Rehabilitation, a graduate student writing about a different topic at Auburn University, and an article in The Guardian, claiming these sources dominated American Heritage Dictionary, which specifically addresses the issue. This is also in the talk page. The sentence should probably simply just not be there, but in any case American Heritage Dictionary is in opposition with Goodsdrew.

This is brief, but I hope not too brief. There is much more elaboration and discussion on the talk page.

Thank you, (Y26Z3 (talk) 22:19, 6 June 2012 (UTC))

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:

Comments: This is not a report of a violation of 3RR but an edit-warring report. This editor has a history of disruptive editing of the Moon article, including copyright violation, and a repeat copyright violation where he changed the source to try to get it through - he eventually put the verbatim sentence in quotes. Also, some of the diffs above show that he makes repeated errors in his citation formats, ending up with citations that are not just technically wrong but worthless. He also incorrectly accuses other editors of vandalism. He accuses me of misusing rollback rights when I didn't rollback but undid with an explanation. There's more but this is all I'm putting in for the present. These other allegations support not the edit-warring but the claim that he's disruptive. It's not clear to me whether I should be bringing him here or to ANI, but I decided to go this route first.


 * This is additional complaint on User:Borovv from Jun.rhee (talk) 06:22, 6 June 2012 (UTC). There is a possibility of his edits escalating into an edit war. He is issuing vandalism warnings for my undoing his edits where it doesn't merit one; I've explained why I undid two of his edits and will be glad to elaborate to any editors watching this page. There is also NPOV issue with User:Borovv using Korean government promotion articles regarding Korean War's 60th anniversary events that have copied verbatim from www.Segye.com which is publication owned by Unification Church. I do not yet know enough how to bring this NPOV issue up with anyone. I'd appreciate it if someone were to advise me via my talk page.


 * Jun.rhee attempted to restore the article to a clean version, but Borovv reverted yet again. I've added it as a 5th revert above as further support of edit-warring (not 3RR).--Bbb23 (talk) 23:37, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

Warning to Dr.K.

Attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: and on Dr.K.'s Talk Page:

Comments:

Hello, I hope I have formatted this right.

I made an update to Orly Taitz last night. Within 2 mins, my update was removed. I reverted to my edit, and changed the language a bit to clarify what I could only assume was the issue; nothing had been noted on the talk page. Within minutes, my edit was again changed. I have discussed this with Dr.K. on the talk board for Orly Taitz and a bit on his user page talk page. I believe that Dr.K. is engaging in edit warring.

I am newish to Wiki, so I may be in the wrong. I don't think that I am.

I made one more edit on the page, but it was only a minor edit to change the word "she" to "Taitz". I'm just letting you know of that edit.

I don't understand why Dr.K. is watching Orly Taitz so vigilantly.

One more thing; Dr.K. didn't edit a change by someone else who used the same document as a Personal Source that I used. So, the source can be used for some points but not others?

I believe that I explained my thoughts on sourcing on the talk page for Orly Taitz. I'm happy to clarify any questions.

I did note on the Orly Taitz talk page that I was filing a noticeboard complaint.

Thank you for your time. Funnyhaha71 (talk) 23:28, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

I read the 3 RR page before posting this. Because Dr.K. is obviously tracking edits and reversing them in mere minutes, I thought that this is a good place to encourage him to stop his behavior. I've been talking with the user. He refuses to address this in any meaningful way other than to say "you're wrong". If I fix what I perceive to be his error, I'm busted and he isn't? Good grief.

I removed content that was inconsistent with WP policy, the complainant reverted the removal twice and I reinstated it twice and opened a discussion on the talk page, which quickly established that my removal of the content was correct in accordance with WP guidelines. There was no breach of 3RR on either side.  It seems that the complainant is unsatisfied with the outcome of the talk page discussion and a later failed attempt to create a new article with much the same content, but that is no reason to make a frivolous complaint here, especially where there were clearly only two reverts on either side.

I believe this report has been made in accordance with this threat made by TopGun on my talk page few days back. Battle of Chawinda was in stalemate and ended in ceasefire as said by a number of sources in article, no source so far claims of Pak victory in Chawinda even then TopGun, Mar4d and a few socks claim Pakistani victory .TopGun who is on a 1RR has been gaming the system by reverting every other day. and not participating in the discussion with sources. Instead of backing up his false claims with sources he feels its better to frame a false report to get the user blocked. Also in the 2 out of 3 reverts in 24 hrs I have twice reverted sockpuppetry (socks = ,)(per DENY) following policies. which TopGun chose not to mention (so that his false accusations of 3RR and 24 hr appear true). Besides i have Made full use of talk page for discussing my reverts whereas TopGun still keeps away from givng sources for his false claims.
 * A little Background
 * Another claim by TG that The versions being reverted to are blatantly opposite of what the article first stated is completely wrong, the stable version of the article never stated Pakistani Victory which he and his friends are now trying to edit war into the article. It stated Ceasefire (as supported by source) and TopGUn falsely claims of Pakistani Victory without even giving sources for victory

As shown above There is no 3rr violation, I have used the talk page and clearly stated my point. I sincerely hope the admins will notice the Bad faith report, unwillingness to discuss on talk with source, Sockpuppetry, tag teaming and BOOMERANG before making a decision on this attempt to harass Me so that I give up -- Ð ℬig XЯaɣ   07:27, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

 * I've reverted only once on the article, so better not make this about me - such false accusations are considered as personal attacks. There's no excuse for editwar whether you are discussing on talk or not. You should really read WP:AOBF. None of the diffs I gave were reverts to a sock I think. DBigXray has further labeled a simple warning as a 'threat' to WP:SOUP this report. The IP has not been established and is not as a sock either, rather more of being a normal user and DBX has labeled every one who opposes him as a sock, wrong or disruptive. I'll not comment further to prevent more WP:SOUP. -- <b style="color:#060">lTopGunl</b> (<b style="color:#000">talk</b>) 15:22, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * User:Dannydoesia and Special:Contributions/2.91.10.69 speak for themselves, And from what it seems above, I dont have the right to explain myself and my edits -- Ð ℬig  XЯaɣ   15:39, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment (from a silent observer of the article in question): The chain of evidence provided by DBigXray is strong and self-explanatory. DBig conducted one edit on June 2, was reverted by Mar4d, conducted one revert, was again reverted by Mar4d. It was DBig to stop (!) the revert circle and it was also DBig who immediately started a discussion on the talk page. DBig let the version of the other editor stand to discuss on the talk.


 * After waiting 2 days no sources were provided by neither TopGun nor Mar4d on the talk page which would back up their pov ("Pakistani victory") but instead DBig had acquired the support of two other established editors one of whom provided two further reliable sources on the talk page for DBig's version ("ceasefire"). As such DBig had acquired consensus on the talk page a) because a majority of editors backed up his version, b) because all reliable sources presented backed up the "ceasefire" and c) because those in the minority opposed failed to provide any source for their pov on the talk page. Such gave DBig the full right to reinstate after waiting for 2 days. Any revert of DBig by others was against consensus at that point.


 * That a confirmed sock and a SPA IP then came to meddle into the article history and to revert DBig, is troublesome, possibly damaging to wikipedia, speaks for itself and would need further investigation. Reverting socks, does not count as a revert. JCAla (talk) 21:24, 6 June 2012 (UTC)


 * The Swedish IP is not on the same continent as any one in the dispute and neither is it a webhost or a proxy or confirmed as a sock by anyone. You're neither an admin nor involved. Please don't add more to the WP:SOUP already present. -- <b style="color:#060">lTopGunl</b> (<b style="color:#000">talk</b>) 21:47, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Is it so that ones who are neither involved nor admins are to avoid commenting here as observers? Can this be rather dealt on the talk pages itself then?
 * The evidence from DBigXRay is very exhaustive according to me. Whether the edits present 'opposing view' in a stalemate etc. is secondary to content backed by secondary sources per me. As reverting socks does not count as revert so 3RR stands too. User:Dannydoesia is a confirmed sock-puppet and the IP has edited just once per contribs of that 2.91.10.69. इति इतिUAनेति नेति Humour Thisthat2011  07:33, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Maybe three reverts over a three day period; two others reverting clear Nangparbat socks, all several days ago. DBigXRay's timeline seems accurate. It would be best if all parties worked more on the article's talk page.  Kuru   (talk)  00:31, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

The problem is pretty much one of those lame instances of arguing over a single word (British naming conventions: 'authorized' versus 'authorised'). Full disclosure: I've reverted there three times myself before sanity prevailed and initiating discussion. Despite repeated requests by myself (in article edit summary, article discussion as well as his user talk page) for him to self revert his fourth edit, stop reverting and use the talk page, he contended that the first edit wasn't a revert and did not count towards the 3RR violation. I informed him that if he failed to self-revert within a few hours, I'd report him here. RL intervened and I wasn't able to file this until now - only after checking to see if the user had chosen to self-revert. He has not. Additionally, the editor argues that the article for the book already uses the term 'authoriZed' and not the British term, and thereby supports the Americanized version. This is strikingly deceptive, as SchroCat has specifically manipulated the article for the book to support his edit-warring in the James Bond article. To whit, he renames/moves the article to his preferred version], and makes several edits in support of that change (1, 2, 3). Furthermore, he offers as substantial citation an explicitly manipulative search of the British Library sources (ie. searching for his preferred term only when a more thorough search reveals that the British term existed prior to it).

I've sought to sort this out with the user, but they aren't interested. As I see it, SchroCat altered the book article (written by a Brit, published in a country that uses British naming conventions about a fictional British subject) because he found a version of the book that doesn't use the British spelling. He then alters another article to support this change and edit-wars it into a 4RR vio despite warnings to stop and self-revert. I'm at odds as to how to resolve this, so I came here. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 02:49, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Ah how nice it is to try and spin reality and get your cheap shots in first. is right on one point tho, it does relate to a UK/US spelling—and as an Englishman who lives and breathes BrEng spelling and who is constantly protecting the BrEng spelling in British articles, it is funny (almost painful) to have to use "authorized" in an BrEng article. Unfortunately JS has not yet managed to grasp the fact that the first edition published in the UK in 1973—the UK edition—uses the word "authorized", rather than the BrEng version. Perhaps a quick spin through the chronology of this sorry affair may straighten things out a little more:
 * An edit on the Template:James Bond books page (see [here]) by pointed out the Z spelling in the first edition of James Bond: The Authorized Biography of 007. I checked a number of sources, including the British Library (a legal deposit library), which confirmed that the first edition from 1973 is spelt James Bond: the authorized biography of 007—see the BL reference for the 1973. This reference relates to the 1973 Sidgwick and Jackson edition and is the first edition anywhere in the world. Some subsequent editions then started carrying the "authorised" version, but not the first edition.
 * After confirming Fanthrillers was right, I made a number of changes to articles, including James Bond (character) and the James Bond: The Authorized Biography of 007 article itself. This is not edit warring, this is straight editing to correct a fact. My first edit on the James Bond (character) site (dated at 21:50, 6 June 2012) is not, therefore, edit warring, but the correction of incorrect information as part of an overall editing process aimed at keeping the Bond-related articles at as high a standard as possible.
 * After the articles were corrected, the unpleasantness on the James Bond (character) article started:
 * At 02:07, 7 June 2012‎ Jack Sebastian reverted the edit. (JS's first revert)
 * At 06:11, 7 June 2012‎ I reverted JS and pointed out that authorized is correct 1st edition title (Schro's first revert)
 * At 14:45, 7 June 2012‎ JS reverted again and asked for a citation. (JS's second revert)
 * At 14:47, 7 June 2012‎ I reverted and said that I would add to the talk page in a second (and pointed out he should also have gone to the talk page before reverting) (Schro's second revert)
 * At 14:51, 7 June 2012‎ I started a new section on the talk page, "Pearson's authoriZed biography"
 * At 14:57, 7 June 2012‎ JS ignored my talk page discussion and started his own, followed by:
 * At 15:03, 7 June 2012‎ JS continued to revert the article, despite being asked not to so and despite the Talk page discussion being started. (JS's third revert)
 * At 15:07, 7 June 2012‎ I reverted again and again pointed JS to the talk page (Schro's third revert)


 * My second talk page edit was where I warned JS about the danger of him breaching WP:3RR if he continued reverting. Yes, I probably shouldn't have made the third revert (15:07, 7 June 2012), but when I've started a talk page discussion about an edit and the discussion is ignored and the edits again reverted, then I do take it as an attempt by an editor to edit war, which is why I warned JS of his approaching breach of 3RR.


 * I utterly refute JS's accusations of being "strikingly deceptive" and of editing a search that has "specifically manipulated" in support of edit warring and I am furious at his attempts to smear what I have done in this way. I have edited the James Bond: The Authorized Biography of 007 article in a fitting way in the light of the information provided by Fanthrillers and no changes to the word "authorised/authorized" took place once JS started his edits: for him to suggest otherwise is disingenuous. Unfortunately JS has still not got to grips with the fact that the 1973 Sedgewick and Jackson UK edition of the book is the first edition of the book anywhere in the world and it uses the title James Bond: the authorized biography of 007. Sadly it does mean that a US spelling is in a BrEng article, but as it's the correct information then it's got to be shown as such. -  SchroCat ( ^  •  @ ) 04:53, 8 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Let's set aside the content issue for the moment, SchroCat. At what point did you think that reverting four times (haven't a clue why you think the first revert wasn't one) was an effective method by which to find a consensus for your opinion. Last time I checked, edit-warring a preferred version - without discussion - is not collaborative editing. When someone tells you that you are breaking the 3RR rule, your VERY first action should be to go to the history and count the edits, and self-revert if there is even the possibility that you have broken 3RR. Are you under the impression that no one at all could consider your four edits in support of a single word change to not be edit-warring? - Jack Sebastian (talk) 05:22, 8 June 2012 (UTC)


 * PS. Jack, you were right first time round: I am a "him", not a "her". - SchroCat ( ^  •  @ ) 05:06, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
 * My apologies; I was looking over the AN/I blocking complaint you were involved in, and it seems they were under the impression that you were a female. I'll undo those gender changes asap. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 05:22, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Ditto Jack: my first edit was not warring, it wasn't even bold, it was an everyday ordinary edit to correct something incorrect. Since then we have both reverted three times. I counted. At what point did you decide to ignore my discussion on the talk page and then revert edits was the proper course of action? - SchroCat ( ^  •  @ ) 06:15, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
 * While the first revert is not considered edit-warring; subsequent reverts on the same point are. As well, your statement about using the article discussion page seems on its face disingenuous: you reverted four times (yes, we are counting the first revert as such, as you reverted in your preferred version) and THEN went to discussion more than four hours later. I simply reset the article to its pre-existing state and suggested conversation three different times.
 * So, as is demonstrably accurate, discussing the issue wasn't really part of your plan...until you had reverted yourself into a hole. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 13:54, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure whether you believe youself or not on this. See the chronology above. I reverted twice, very rapidly following up my second revert with an entry on the talk page. I subsequently reverted your edit, which you had doneAFTER a talk page discussion had been opened. Decidedly uncool that one. I then pointed out to you nbot to revert again, warning you about 3RR. I was the one that raised that to you as I knew where I stood and I did not want to see fall into the 3RR hole. I'm not entirely sure where you get the four hour window from... again, see the chronology, with the time stamps all nice and visible for everyone to see. - SchroCat ( ^  •  @ ) 14:01, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

 * This is getting utterly, utterly ridiculous. You are displaying all the behavioural patterns of a troll, on this and three other pages. Your comments on the novels and stories talk page, where you were "getting an overview of your editing style and trying to figure you out" suggests something verging—but not quite at—WP:HOUNDING. I'll wait for an Admin to sort through this ridiculous mess and try and make sense of it all. - SchroCat ( ^  •  @ ) 14:24, 8 June 2012 (UTC)


 * . Speaking of WP:LAME, I have to suggest that filing this report approximately than 24hrs after your discussion on Schro's page about the exact same subject pretty much fits into the same category. After all, a day later you're not actually trying to gain protection, you're attempting to punish. You both were edit-warring, period - it does not matter whether you didn't cross the magical WP:3RR threshold - you can be edit-warring with a single edit - but more often when you stray outside the WP:BRD cycle. WP:ENGVAR says we don't stray back and forth between variations of the language in an article. However the one logical time that one would stray is when providing a direct quote from a source/formal title that uses the other variant. For example, blah blah was authorized vs "it was authorised for use in the movie" (direct quote from source). Trouts to the both of you today ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 14:29, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Err, so now we aren't supposed to politely ask people to self revert? We just run over here and report them the moment they blow up 3RR? It isn't a content issue, BWilkins; it was about someone who ignored the rules when it came to shoehorning their pet opinion in. But thanks for your take on AGF protocol. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 04:45, 9 June 2012 (UTC)


 * "you're not actually trying to gain protection, you're attempting to punish", "an overview of your editing style and trying to figure you out" suggests something verging—but not quite at—WP:HOUNDING" Jack Sebastian has an extensive history of this kind of behavior. When someone points that out he reverts and calls it "personal attack", then comes the insults, biting and cheap shots. Maybe a warning Jack Sebastian about his behavior may be in order. 65.204.124.130 (talk) 01:52, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmmmm. For an "anonymous" IP editor - one who openly admits to sharing their Wiki account with several other people - you seem to have a particular hard-on for me, chum. I wonder who you really are. No matter. Things like you always get sorted out in the wash. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 04:45, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Jack, Just by way of clarification, I am not the IP editor in question and I hope you do not think that is the case. Anything I have to say I will, can and have say directly to you under my own name. Geolocate puts this IP user in the US: I am happily tucked up in London. - SchroCat ( ^  •  @ ) 08:27, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

User engages in removing sourced material after unilaterally declaring "need a better source". Confuses sourcing of a book with "Amazon". Textbook ideological vandalism as user keeps attacking only the section that deals with opposing arguments - a violation of Wikipedia's neutrality policy. After engaging in removing sourced material, user makes a flurry of small edits to try to mask his initial edit. Please see entire edit summary.
 * No violation, appears several other editors have disagreed here. It's also not appropriate to call edits in a content dispute vandalism. Seraphimblade Talk to me 09:43, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

AmourReflection just got a 24 hr block for this very thing. As soon as the block expired s/he returned to the exact same thing. This despite additional warnings/advice, post block,. Just not getting the message.

The user has been constantly edit warring on this article since June 8 against various users, trying to present the opinion of some authors that the term concerned refers to 'islamophobic' and 'extremist' 'conspiracy theories' as indisputable truth. Attempts to de-POVize the lead are met with blind reverting and baseless accusations of 'vandalism'. The user has recently been blocked for this kind of behaviour. What is especially alarming, is that after I edited the page Eurabia yesterday not to his liking, the user started stalking my edits to other pages like Soviet occupation of Latvia in 1940 on the topic he had never ever edited before, just to revert my yesterday's edit and start a new edit war.

 * I would also like to emphasize, that Altetenkrabbe's edits at Eurabia are reverted by multiple others, not just me ([en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eurabia&action=history page history]). It is not some 1 against 1 battle.Estlandia (dialogue) 09:58, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

OPTIONAL: Dr Keirnan has previously broken the 3 revert rule within the last few days, without my having reported the matter. I negotiated a number of changes at that time. There is a section on the talk page where several editors, other than myself, have made negative comments bout the balance of the article, especially the introduction. My edit summaries, and frequent comments o the talk page have documented the reasons for all significant changes. A number of disputes and reversals have resulted from the more trivial matters. DrKiernan is not the only "reverter". Their appears to be considerable "ownership" problems with the article, with a quorum, rejecting almost every attempt to improve the "balance". Amandajm (talk) 07:51, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

NOTE: this message was left on the user's talk page 20 minutes prior to the last reversion. The edits and references I was working on are lost:


 * Reverting
 * Please stop doing it. If anybody takes the time to read my edit summaries, and reads the notes that I have made on the talk page about the necessity of presenting the major facts as "facts", then your reversions are going to look petty to say the least. You have not given any reason for doing it, except my lack of discussion. In fact, I have left long messages on the talk page.   get onto the talk page, and answer the criticisms.
 * As you are well aware, others have also criticised the "lack of balance" and stated that the introduction weas very poor.
 * Amandajm (talk) 06:22, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Response. Things haven't "simmered down".  The fact is that I have simply not made any further edits (except for reverting a small edit by a new editor which didn't comply with MOS policy on "honorifics". )
 * I want to continue sorting out the issues in this article, of which there are a great many. I am fairly sur that as soon as I attempt to return the encyclopedic statements to the article, they will be deleted, or reverted, and I will be complained of on this same board.
 * .So how do I go about improving the article, which is basically badly written. This has been agreed upon by a number of editors who commented on the talk page? Suggestions please Amandajm (talk) 02:49, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Forgive me for not being clear enough. This is angling more for protection rather than a block, for if I choose to block DrKiernan, I would need to block you too. You are edit-warring just as much as he is. Yours may be even worse, given the total lack of support you have for your changes. I see no further edit-warring since this report was made, so I don't see why you think there would be even greater reason for a block now.


 * As you should be, because you're edit-warring. You're shooting yourself in the foot by pushing this matter. There are plenty of options available at Dispute Resolution, but even that looks unnecessary at this point since it seems like your efforts to resolve this issue have so far only amounted to a few recently opened discussions during which you shout at your opponents, the edit-warring you've done with DrKiernan, and this complaint. Having had experience with far more protracted and seemingly irreconcilable discussions, this is far from the point of sounding the red alarm, especially when you have far from the cleanest hands. --  tariq abjotu  03:41, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

 * I don't know how far back you looked, but the reason for my frustration (and raising my voice) was that a very lengthy negotiation had taken place several months before. At the point at which the article went on the front page as the featured article, just a few days before the main Jubilee events (and therefore attracting a huge amount of traffic) the Intro was seriously inadequate, and unbalanced..  Having already negotiated and negotiated and negotiated,  to no avail, I was aghast that bit hit front page ''at that point in the life of the subject of the article, the Queen,  without being fixed first.  She deserves the same respectful treatment that any other living subject of a Wikipedia biography gets.
 * It was at that point, that I became really annoyed, and demanded an urgent fix. The urgency was as a result of the time of the Jubilee, and the very heavy traffic.  When I wrote "fix it by tomorrow" I had in mind the Jubilee, and the 100,000 people who had viewed the article the previous day.


 * My prolonged complaints finally got a little action. As a result of criticism from several other editors, concerned mainly with the "Intro", some of the suggestions that I had made many months previous were finally adopted.   They were then honed down to a minimum by DrKiernan and had several vital matters (the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan) removed by MIESIANIACAL who finds it difficult to comprehend how the wars are relevant to the Queen, since she isn't a politician or president.


 * Several of the most pertinent edits to the Introduction: Making encyclopaedic statements out of the key facts,  are continually reverted by DrKeirnan, either blanket reversals or individual reversals.
 * As soon as I attempt to work on the rest of the article, which includes making footnotes out of non-relevant material (like how many people went to their neighbours house to watch the Coronation) and adding pertinent and referenced material, it gets deleted or reverted.
 * There is a serious "ownership" problem with the article that needs sorting.
 * This is the sort of thing which drives an elderly and highly experienced editor to a point of shouting in frustration.


 * I do not like to be contentious. I brought up the Dr Kiernan matter previously and sought advice without a request that they be banned.
 * Some younger person was so rude to me (as an apparent monarchist) that the matter was brought up on the complaints board, but I requested it be dropped, because the kid had already been reprimanded on the talk page by another editor.


 * The page is about a living person. It needs to reflect a balance. At the present, despite some recent improvement, it still favours trivia over fact, and modes of expression that are "journalise" and not encyclopaedic.  It requires fixing.  It cannot be fixed, when a quorum of people are determined to elbow out an experienced ediotr who has the ability to fix it.


 * Basically,
 * No-one ought to have to argue that the Gulf War, the War in Iraq, and the War in Afghanistan are events of great import in the life of a monarch whose country is involved!
 * No-one should have to argue that the Head of the Church of England going to visit the Pope was major event, after a 500 year rift.
 * No -one should have to argue that addressing US Congress was a major event, after the US War of Independence.
 * The fact that these people are so unaware of the importance of these events means that they are not the right group of people to be controlling this article so very possessively.
 * I have no idea whether you are a student of history, but it doesn't take a very deep knowledge of British History to give an understanding of the relevance of these wars and the two other events (and the visit to Germany and to Ireland). Yet I have had to wage a veritable war in order to get any of them included in the Intro.
 * The fact that the Queen is the Head of the Church of England had been omitted entirely from the introduction, when the article was on the Front Page.
 * How could it possibly have got to be a "featured article" with that fact missing?
 * Just getting the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan acknowledged in the introduction has been an exhausting business. Every single improvement, regardless of how minor has taken almost as much effort as I am putting in now.
 * So, what does one do, to get a highly inadequate, yet featured, article about a living person improved and treated in a balanced way, where facts take precedent over trivia, and where a war is treated as more important than a fight between the corgis??

Comments:

I've posted here before, but no one responded. I am hoping this time someone will look at this.

User Alan.Ford.Jn has on multiple occasions reverted all edits by by myself and another user to an older version. Note that Alan.Ford.Jn has never used the discussion page to explain their edits. I have made an effort to source all the additions I have added so user Alan.Ford.Jn could have no excuse to delete my contributions; unfortunately, it has had no effect. In this first reversal user adds the summary "Removal of sourced information" in spite of the "(-2,561)" negative number recorded in the edit history. In fact, looking at the page's edit history shows consistent negative numbers in accordance to the removal of text: (-1,255)‎, (-1,656) , (-3,499)‎, (-1,810) ‎, (-2,250)‎. In another edit Alan.Ford.Jn wrote: "Encyclopedia of Human Rights, Second Edition says nothing about attack within Kakanj?! provide online WP:RS source)", which although somewhat difficult to discern their language, appears to be mocking the Encyclopedia of Human Rights as an unreliable source that does not even mention the attack in Kakanj (simple Google search showed that it did.) Another round of reverting  has Alan.Ford.Jn saying "are you kidding me? you haven't even read the article, haven't you realised that you put wrong paragraph into wrong section with false data? April 1993 comes after December 1992, not before?!" Even though I find it difficult to understand the language, user Alan.Ford has not attempted to use the discussion page to discuss what article, what false data, and what other problems he seems to have with additional edits by other users. He made just one post on 10 June, which provided no insight or explanation on the article. It consisted of a few brief sentences attacking me by saying my edits were "nationalistic propaganda".

I even left a note on Alan.Ford.Jn's talk page but they never responded. From April 18, 2012 to June 10, Alan.Ford.Jn has made 13 edits, all on the Croat-Bosniak War page; the last edit before April 18 was on 20 September 2011. I don't know why they only concentrate on reversing on page, and although I don't think they are attempting to troll, it is disruptive. --Jesuislafete (talk) 05:11, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
 * A problem with the edits of Alan.Ford.Jn is that he would do large reverts on ethnically-disputed articles while never commenting on the talk page. Now finally he has left his first talk page comment of 2012, and it is here. The point of his comment is to accuse the editor on the other side of ethnically-motivated edit warring. This is not very satisfying. Alan.Ford.Jn has already been notified under WP:ARBMAC and was blocked for a week back in Augusts 2011 for a similar issue (see his talk page). I think that a topic ban under WP:ARBMAC might be considered but it would need some study of his past edits, which I don't have time for at the moment. EdJohnston (talk) 15:47, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
 * His refusal to use the discussion page and sporadic editing history is very strange. As said before, there is a large gap between his edits, and it seems he focuses mostly on reverting things to his pleasure and not the good of the article. --Jesuislafete (talk) 05:33, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Comments:

I'm trying to nip this edit-warring in the bud. I reported this user less than a week ago, that case is currently third from the top of this page. This user is relatively new to Wikipedia (around 50 edits) and doesn't understand how WP:OR works, nor does he appear willing to learn. (His last comment on the talk page included, quote: "I may not have wikipedia editing experience (irrelevant), but I actually have an undergrad in Economics. Why wikipedia let's economic illiterates like you edit is beyond me.") An administrator placed a note on his talk page after my last submission. That post can be seen here The other part of his reverting is made up of the re-adding of material to a section that is tagged with a "pro and con list" tag, not understanding that the point of the tag is to incorporate that material into the article. He has subsequently posted an edit warring warning on my talk page. Somedifferentstuff (talk) 09:09, 13 June 2012 (UTC)


 * User Somedifferentstuff fails to understand he is engaging in the same behavior he is accusing me off

He unilaterally engages in removing sourced material. He started with this edit then went on to unilaterally remove material  that previously existed as a consensus by declaring all by himself "Need a better source" without ever bothering to discuss it on talk page. Currently he continues to remove material backed by 7-8 sources. It's plainly obvious he hasn't read all the sources listed. I tried to explain to user he needs to educate himself better in economics. His inability to understand basic economics is not my problem. Please check entire history for confirmation. - 173.74.164.212 (talk) 02:37, 14 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Since you're both at fault, I full protected the page. Seek dispute resolution. With regards to 173 specifically, Wikipedia is a collaborative project. If you continue to insist that you're right, he's wrong, you have a degree, he's an idiot, it's far easier for me to simply block you from editing and unprotect the page. Someguy1221 (talk) 02:53, 14 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Both at fault??? Did you look at the talk page? I explained there that the first bullet point, which has 3 sources, violates WP:OR. The first two sources don't even mention progressive taxation, the topic of the article. The third source doesn't list a page number. The next 2 bullet points don't even mention progressive taxation, another violation of WP:OR which User:173.74.164.212 has stuck back into the article. He also reverted material that had been incorporated into the article from the section tagged with a "pro and con list" tag. Don't take my word for it, investigate it. I am very disappointed in how you guys have handled this. Somedifferentstuff (talk) 09:54, 14 June 2012 (UTC) --- I have added another comment to the article talk page.

I think it's related. You shouldn't have reverted, but gone to the talk page.

Section on talk page with attempts to resolve dispute:

Comments:

User:XB70Valyrie originally attempted to add a controversy section into the Koch family page. He was involved in an edit war there and it was determined that, regardless of other problems, the content wasn't relevant to the page. He moved on to the Political activities of the Koch family article and added his controversy section in. Following the bold, revert, discuss cycle, I reverted it and asked to begin discussion on the talk page. He immediately reverted me to add it back in, but I left it so as to not be pulled into an edit war. While I made attempts at civil discussion, he reverted Arzel twice when Arzel tried to take out the section so that it could be discussed first.

On the talk page for Political activities of the Koch page, he made several personal attacks and accused other editors of edit warring and filibustering. He continually accused me of changing my argument 'over and over' when I had only made one simple argument that he did not responded to. He has been more and more hostile with each edit he makes and is throwing a lot of accusations around. He posted a warning on my talk page about edit warring even though I only reverted him once, and it was to initiate the talk page discussion. His actions have been the opposite of civil and I believe he should be blocked, at least temporarily, to cool off. It might also be beneficial to block him from editing the pages he has been warring on. In total, he has reverted 4 different editors to add the same controversy section into the article. I've done my best to be civil but he is throwing out a lot of attacks and accusations. I hope the evidence speaks for itself. AdventurousSquirrel (talk) 00:55, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I am an uninvolved and topic neutral third party who found this dispute by having Arzel's talk on my watch list. I just want to add that I endorse the statement above - there are seriously WP:BATTLEGROUND and WP:AGF violations.  I also want to add that the editor in question did in fact breach 3RR at least on Political_activities_of_the_Koch_family, but Squirrel seems to have misunderstood 3RR and only provided three diffs.  The editor is at 5RR by my reading.  S Æ don <sup style="color:#000000;">talk  01:08, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * There's no doubt he's edit warring, but today's (i.e., the last 24 hour's) count is only 3 reverts each. He violated WP:3RR on Koch family a day or two few days ago.

 * . XB70Valyrie did violate 3RR at Political activities of the Koch family yesterday (15 June). However, since then, the user has not edited either of these problematic pages - blocking the user now might not be the best course of action, as the edit war seems to have calmed down a little. I notice that a dispute resolution case has been opened, which should help matters: if he is willing to negotiate this dispute, it would help to have him able to edit (and we may find that dispute resolution is successful). Nevertheless, XB70Valyrie's overall attitude to this dispute has been very negative; if dispute resolution fails and XB70Valyrie continues to adopt such an attitude, it might be worth taking the issues to WP:ANI. I would advise everyone else involved to remain civil and urge people to focus solely on the content disputed, rather than the conduct of other editors, during discussion.

The IHR is well known for its denial pamphlets returning to the holocaust, and Mark Weber as its director has made several revisionist publications. He is an important piece of the extreme right. The IP's reversals made him seem like an ordinary guy who just happens to be the director of the IHR. The IP has been reverted by several editors and still pretends it's just me who has a problem there.

Comments:

This has been going on for a while now, User:Crzyclarks and User:Scientiom (the latter is also on the verge of breaking 3RR - having reverted thrice) have been edit warring on Marriage even before and got blocked for it - indeed my involvement last time got me blocked as well (later unblocked on appeal). This time I have stayed out (I accidently reverted an edit because of Twinkle but I'm not going to get involved in this, considering what happened last time) and warned both of the mentioned editors to cease the edit-warring, but this continues despite my efforts. --~ Knowz  (Talk) 17:43, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

It was only 3 reverts, then I went to the talk page. One of them was not really a revert, as I took the person's objection into account and compromised on the wording. Crzyclarks (talk) 17:48, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Crzyclarks, you can't just game the system like that - what is happening is indeed edit-warring and it needs to cease. --~ Knowz  (Talk) 17:51, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

I wasn't gaming the system. Specifically, the first revert listed there isn't a revert. Since they insisted on that wording, when my block expired I just added some information in so that it's accurate. Crzyclarks (talk) 17:53, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

The aggravating factor is that Crzyclarks already has two blocks for edit warring on Homosexuality, Same-sex marriage and related articles. He started edit warring immediately after his last 48 hours block expired. The new block should be at least 1 week long.-- В и к и  T   18:15, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Well my edit was correct in Homosexuality, the edit I kept reverting was synthesising and the current version is what I was reverting to and got banned for. I didn't start edit warring, I kept the wording that they wanted but added a couple of things so that what was being said was not false, but fact. Crzyclarks (talk) 18:23, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

As I recall, I'm not banned from editing on things that I was previously banned for. Crzyclarks (talk) 18:25, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Returning to the same edit-war as previous block was poorly planned. Recall also that edit warring and WP:3RR are related, but different.  This is a clear edit-warrior behaviour ( talk→   BWilkins   ←track ) 21:25, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Continued ignoration of the guidelines highlighted here through the addition/modifcation of career statistics tables for footballers. This extendeds beyond Lewis McGugan and includes Chris Cohen (on the talk page of which a discussion aimed at resolution was initiated, although the user has ignored the invite to participate), Kieron Freeman and Jamaal Lascelles. The user has failed to engage in any kind of discussion and has a history of questionable edits; see this for an example. Seems to be a case of WP:OWN. The user just can't seem to bear the fact that someone is amending a Nottingam Forest-related article, even though the amendments are improvements and adhere to WP guidelines.

The editor has a serious case of WP:IDHT, as can be seen at the talk page of the article and the WT:MED page. He has shown no indication that he plans to abide by any behavioral or content guideline. Yobol (talk) 02:06, 18 June 2012 (UTC)


 * This is a false complaint, I don't see from that diff how there were three reverts there. There is new text in these diffs, and the revert "(Reverted edits by 79.182.215.205 (talk) identified as spam (HG))" is a revert that an HG bot did by mistake, when I fixed a link, and it thought it was spam, when it wasn't, and so I reverted its stupid automatic revert. Give me a break Yobol.
 * I think that if you check what happened, including in the talk page, you would see that Yobol is editing things he don't understand, and don't try to understand, and without asking for clarification/consensus before he edit.
 * If you are already counting, please count Yobol's deletions, maybe he has 3 reverts. I try to fix the text, and I change the content according to remarks, so these are genuine edits, all Yobol does is delete without asking questions first, and because of errors in his understanding, sometime of simple matters.
 * It seem to me that Yobol effort will result in that the adverse effects of CTs would be underestimated by the readers, which is bad. 79.182.215.205 (talk) 05:51, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

 * The Wikipedia's policy WP:NPOV linked from the tag says:

That an article is in an "NPOV dispute" does not necessarily mean it is biased, only that someone feels that it is. To indicate that the neutrality of an article is disputed, insert at the top of the article to display:

User Igny made his edits in full compliance with Wikipedia's rules as there are currently three users who dispute the article's neutrality. Conversely, removal of the tag by the opposing team is a breach of the rule. And following from what is cited above, any user has right to insert this tag once he/she disagrees with the content. There is no need for consensus for this tag because it is designed specifically to indicate that there is no consensus.--UUNC (talk) 09:14, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Comments:

Pass a Method has tried to insert content on same-sex marriage into Europe in a section labeled "LGBT rights". The material was copy-pasted from LGBT rights in Europe and he later added his own sources for the content, not used in the original article. He did not give any attribution to the original editors who created the content. Five users have objected to his addition as WP:UNDUE and unsuitable for the article: Mathsci, Maunus, Chipmunkdavis, Bluehairedlawyer and MadGeographer. He continues to restore the content and to disrupt the article in ways that are not an improvement for the reader. No other editors agree that his proposed content, purely on single-sex marriage, is appropriate, but he is edit-warring against this consensus. Usually on Europe, amongst the 200 most read pages on wikipedia and as such an anodyne and neutral article, disruption has been caused by issues related to Eastern Europe. This is disruption of a different kind which is also wasting volunteer time. (The fourth reversion was about trivia in the lede concerning largest and smallest countries.)

has also been involved in similar edit warring on Africa also related to the topic of same-sex marriage. (More details will be added later.) Mathsci (talk) 05:40, 19 June 2012 (UTC)


 * On Africa: Original insertion: First reversion: + new insertion on same topic: Second reversion of all this new content:  Third reversion of previously added material:  Fourth reversion:  The content in this case was about "LGBT" (his subsection heading)/same-sex marriage plus statements added to the lede about which countries in Africa are the largest in area and population. Mathsci (talk) 05:55, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Other edits of Pass a Method, placing warning templates or comments on user talk pages when his edits were reverted, indicate a WP:battleground approach. He also commented on edits to Europe on Talk:Africa which is not very helpful for those watching Europe. Mathsci (talk) 06:15, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Reply The fourth revert is about Russia so it is completely different to the first three reverts. The first revert was me adding a source (because of a request). Additionally i conceded to the current version long ago, so im not sure why Mathsci is re-opening a resolved issue. Pass a Method   talk  09:12, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Reverts are counted irrespective of the content being reverted. PassaMethod was evidently edit-warring. Above is the first time that he has explicitly stated that he now accepts that his edits were against consensus (presumably he means on both articles). Mathsci (talk) 09:33, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes i do mean on both articles about lgbt. But my last two edits on Africa had to do African demographics in the lede (See, ). Pass a Method   talk  10:08, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

 * In, Altetendekrabbe deleted the prescribed warning about this posting while issuing a taunt. Frotz (talk) 21:50, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Altetendekrabbe became close today to breaking the 3RR again: 1, 2 (note the personal assault in the edit summary, 3.Estlandia (dialogue) 21:55, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

frotz is indulging himself in misrepresentation of sources, and contentious edits, as noted by others. he clearly has an anti-islamic pov, disgustingly displayed here,. and now he is quoting diffs, from as far back as april, out of context. in addition, four out of the five editors on the talk page are in favor of keeping the islamophobia template. please also note his constant nonsense. he claims that i "deleted numerous citations" in diff 64 above. i checked and it turned out to be not true.--  altetendekrabbe   22:09, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

It certainly takes two to tango. I've looked through the first ten or so of Frotz's examples, and in my opinion they are quite straight edits. The question of whether the article should be included in the template or not isn't really a matter for compromise: It's either or. Not to mention that there are at least a total of five editors, four of them currently engaged on the talk page, who argue in favor of keeping the template. Altetendekrabbe isn't always as civil as he should be, but with the nature of some of these edits, I find it difficult to remain so myself at times. --benjamil (talk) 22:51, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Agree with benjamil. This looks mostly like diff-padding (putting in a lot of innocuous diffs to make it seem like something bad is going on when there isn't, and hoping that whoever looks at it will be too lazy to click through and check the actual diffs). In this edit altetendekrabbe was most certainly justified in removing what looks like an attempt at engaging in passive aggressive griefing by Frotz. Estlandia's here to pursue some kind of a grudge it seems. Volunteer Marek 00:09, 20 June 2012 (UTC)


 * You don't consider the last 50 edits at Eurabia being edit-warring "bad"? They took the edit-warring to Soviet occupation of Latvia in 1940 too, for which Altetendekrabbe was banned for 24 hours. Oh, and if I was Frotz I would have considered the accusation in this discussion about clearly having "anti-islamic pov, disgustingly displayed..." a personal attack, but my hat goes off to him if he didn't and keeps a cool head despite these accusations. --Pudeo' 00:40, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
 * er, right. when are you planning to stop stalking me? your continued (failed) efforts to get me banned are becoming annoying. by the way, this is what your friend mr. frotz wrote on the talk page:


 * "There are solid facts and figures about demands that Europe adopt Islamic values as well as threats of and actual instances of violence when Europeans refuse. Recall the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy which spawned rioting, assaults, and murderous threats in Europe. What do you have, besides sensationalism, as proof that the Eurabia theory is bunk? Before you mention Anders Behring Breivik, I need to remind you that this was an isolated incident by a narcissistic nut reacting to Islamic outrages. Yes it was spectacular, but in the grand scheme of things is overshadowed by the multitude of incidents of Islamic intimidation and violence. Of course, that doesn't make it right, but one cannot legitimately point to isolated instances like this to counter a continuous pattern of violence and intimidation. "


 * user benjamil refuted him but he still continued in the same vein later. utter disgusting.--  altetendekrabbe   00:51, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I am not stalking you. I am following the page Eurabia. This complaint was linked by Frotz on Talk:Eurabia and here I am. On a friendly note, I suggest you change your tone to a more positive one when addressing others – you've been banned already twice because of personal attacks. Wikipedia etiquette promotes good manners and being polite; I find it rather weird that user:Benjamil defends rude behauvior in his last sentence here. --Pudeo' 00:58, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Pudeo has has logged many edits to articles critical of Islam at least as far back as 2011. Since you two seem to frequent the same sorts of articles, it's not suprising that you two would encounter him again.  -- Frotz(talk) 01:45, 20 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Perhaps the annotations I just added above will make it clearer for those too lazy to click the diffs. Please point out where I am wrong. Did you just seriously suggest that leaving notice for a person reported to an Administrators' Noticeboard is passive-aggressive griefing?  Look at the top of this page.  You will find that such notification is mandatory.  -- Frotz(talk) 00:54, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Leaving notices on talk pages is fine. In my experience it's best just to say "Subject: Notification" and leave a link. But stuff like this, this or this  is just your standard attempt at intimidating a user (particularly the last one is the typical "intimidation by template" tactic"). Returning to do it again and again after the user has removed your previous comment IS a form of griefing. Volunteer Marek  02:07, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The first edit you refer to was a matter-of-fact statement of why I reverted his edit. I frequently do this when I feel a single line of text is not sufficient for explaining the change.  Shortly afterward, it became clear to me that Altetendekrabbe is more interested in re-adding POV edits, so I made the report here and placed a notification on his page AS REQUIRED.  The third edit was a warning from some other editor.  What do you imply by referencing the third edit?  -- Frotz(talk) 03:37, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
 * "Perhaps the annotations I just added above will make it clearer for those too lazy to click the diffs. Please point out where I am wrong." (Frotz) I looked at the three diff that you labelled as deleting quote (" Deleted material cited from Bat'Yeor", " Deleted numerous citations and re-added language describing Eurabia as islamophobic", " Again deleted numerous citations and re-added language describing Eurabia as islamophobic"). None of them delete any quotation. Visite fortuitement prolongée (talk) 21:25, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
