Attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: There is an ongoing discussion on the article's talk page that's not getting very far.

Comments:

I invoked 3 revert rule at 02:21, 12 September 2012 (UTC), Walter then insisted on goading a new entrant to undo my edit without first reading the talk page. If you read the talk page, I always explained my edit clearly, and another poster was shown to see what I said accurate. Nlsanand (talk) 22:59, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

I'd add that I took steps to neutralize the wording and told the other editors to take it to admin if they wanted. I'll own what I wrote. User:Walter Görlitz tried to disprove me first at various points then backed off. He then just tried to get another user to re-start the edit war. Nlsanand (talk) 23:09, 13 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Sorry. I simply pointed-out the discrepancy on the talk page. No goading required. No goading was required for an editor to make 5 reverts on the article though. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:12, 13 September 2012 (UTC)


 * It wasn't an edit war three days 36 hours before either. It was civil. talk had reverted an edit of mine in good faith. I pointed out that his source was incorrect, by explanation in the talk page. Just to make it clear, it could be disproved in simple words and said that I would invoke the 3 revert rule if he chose not to engage me and simply revert. You can read the talk page and see the sequence. Then, (who chose not to read the same talk page) made the same mistake. Instead, of making  aware of the same mistake, talk said (and I paraphrase), "You should go ahead and edit it again" That sounds like goading to me. Nlsanand (talk) 23:29, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Sigh. It was an edit war. I changed it (my first revert). You changed it back (your first revert). I reverted based on the supplied RS (my second revert). You changed it back (your second revert). Seems like an edit war to me.
 * From Wikipedia:Edit warring: "An edit war occurs when editors who disagree about the content of a page repeatedly override each other's contributions, rather than trying to resolve the disagreement by discussion."
 * My exact comment was "Then you might want to update the lede to reflect that". It was simply an acknowledgement to Kingjeff that the lede and body no longer agreed. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:54, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

I added reliable sources that clearly backed-up my point on the talk page. The first source came last night and I added two more sources. Walter Görlitz added a fourth source. All four sources are credible. I have asked Nlsanand to provide a credible source. He has failed to do so up to this point. He has only provided a message board as a source on the talk page. If you take a look at Nlsanand's edits, on both the article and the talk page, you will see that he has provided nothing more than original research. Whereas I have provided credible sources. Kingjeff (talk) 23:57, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Kingjeff stopped at the bright line, but as edit warring goes, sources don't give us leave to edit war. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:04, 14 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Nlsanand is clearly creating original research. Kingjeff (talk) 00:08, 14 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I want to make thing clear. I believe I am correct and Nlsanand is wrong. Nlsanand is in violation of WP:OR. He has failed to produce a credible source that backs him up after being asked too. I personally added three sources and Walter Görlitz added a fourth. I don't understand why my name was added here since my edits were in compliance of WP:OR. Kingjeff (talk) 03:24, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

I just came across this issue as an uninvolved editor, and removed the disputed statement before I became aware of this discussion. However, Nlsanand's math/explanation on the talk page is absolutely correct. Yes there are sources saying they were eliminated on September 12. However, a routine WP:CALC clearly demonstrates that this statement is false due to the scenario described at Magic_number_(sports). Nlsanand has explained this on the talk page, but is only getting WP:IDHT in response. Since the date of elimination really doesn't add anything to the article, I've removed it as per WP:BRD. Hopefully this puts an end to a rather WP:LAME edit war. TDL (talk) 06:48, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

I've protected the article. No comment on the edit warring, but constant reverting can't be tolerated. Ged UK  11:51, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * It's not a matter of IDHT, it's a matter of sources, and it seems both have a point. The fact is the edit war is unacceptable and the actions of the editors should now be addressed.
 * And when I say now, I mean that this issue is close to 24 hours old and nothing has been done. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:11, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I am citing WP:CALC, as another poster has alerted me to it. Again, the math is self-evident. I have still not seen Walter Görlitz state that he disagrees. He simply keeps deflecting and saying (and I paraphrase) that "There are sources that say they were eliminated on the 12th". Nlsanand (talk) 20:26, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * @Walter: Agreed, edit warring is unacceptable whether you think your edits are correct or not. However, I'd point out that you yourself made four reverts within 48h  so you're hardly blameless in this.  Yes you stopped short of the bright line of 3RR, but you WP:TAGTEAMed with Kingjeff to insert the date of the 12th into the article in spite of the lack of consensus on the talk page.  TDL (talk) 21:03, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Fully agree that I made 4 edits over 48 hours, but the fact that Kingjeff and I have the same opinion at the outset does not explain why I reverted in the end and my edit summary is clear as to why I made mine. If you're counting my 4 over 48 then Nlsanand is at seven. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:56, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Look, then I'm going to point out, another editor also noted how it was clear they were eliminated on the 6th (take a look at the talk page. Furthermore, Kingjeff's talk page contributions showed a general misunderstanding of the issue, and a general unwillingness to engage in discussion (or at least an inability to understand the issue at hand). An experienced editor like Walter Görlitz understood that when he encouraged this general misunderstanding. Nlsanand (talk) 22:14, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Would an admin please step in and block this self-serving editor please after five edits? This should be a no-brainer. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:55, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Buddy, anyone who looked at the talk page would see a clear pattern of not engaging in consensus building. I feel like you're trying to use my lack of knowledge of Wiki rules (I'll own it, it's clear that I didn't really fully understand the 3-revert rule) to hide the fact that you're trying to claim ownership of the article and not willing to admit that you got it wrong. Kingjeff's edits were just clearly wrong, so my reverts had to be done. Even if his math was accurate, his edits were still wrong; he was using the 13th, not the 12th. Your most recent posts show a clear lack of civility on your part. I will note that you had the decency never to lie, but you have deflected from the fact that my math was clearly correct (which is supported by at least two other users who have opined on the talk page). You seem to be using your knowledge of the rules to attempt to piss people off, and in this case it at least seems like you're not really doing it with any intent of making the article better. If my violation of a bright line rule warrants a block, I'll accept that from the administrators. However, if you review the content, the talk page, and the malicious editing against which I was defending the article, I don't believe it's warranted. Moreso, I think it calls the pair of you a lot more into quesiton. Nlsanand (talk) 01:26, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

My edits were wrong? I put in a statement and I sourced it. How are my edits are wrong? A contributor's edits are not wrong just because you disagree. Kingjeff (talk) 01:52, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
 * - Ten days, by User:Ged UK. EdJohnston (talk) 03:54, 15 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Terrible precedent. I am marking this decision not to block for going well past 3RR and will point to it as my only reason for doing so myself. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:59, 15 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Honestly Walter, you two are lucky not to be blocked. Bright line is one thing, but your behavior through this has been reprehnsible. Nlsanand (talk) 15:32, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning:

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:

Comments: There was also an attempt to remove a CSD tag despite being the creator, an acknowledgement of what 3RR was after the warning, and the latter two diffs above were reverts of two uninvolved admins, who both concurred with my decision to redirect.

—WFC— FL wishlist 22:46, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I created the page in good faith (the very need to mention this). WFC accused me of 3RR ("technically"?!) when I only had done 3 edits in toto: . I removed CSD tag? Read my "oops". Here are three edits by WFC, quite early in the process: 1: change page into redirect 2: again 3: adding tag Speedy. How is that for warring? The notion that some edits were reverts of two uninvolved admins does not weigh: I am not to know that it is an admin who edits, nor should it matter. I am to weigh an edit by quality, not by admin's arrogance. Interestingly, and annoyingly, another editor upped that same argument: ). In general: WFC does one-sided counting & observing. -DePiep (talk) 23:42, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * My initial redirect was on the basis of Talk:Hillsborough disaster. My second redirect was because I strongly believed that it was in the interests of the reader to be directed to the Hillsborough disaster article unless the new page went significantly beyond the information there, and based on my belief (which has subsequently proven correct) that other users would concur. Once reverted a second time, I tagged under CSD A10, to get the attention of an uninvolved administrator, who answered the tag by redirecting. I have made no subsequent edits to the page, and have several times attempted to explain my reasoning. My assertion about a technical breach of 3RR was in relation to the corresponding edits DePiep made to the hatnote at Hillsborough disaster – in hindsight this was incorrect, as it goes without saying that if a specific article exists, a hatnote should point to it. Nonetheless, 3RR has been breached – a status quo achieved through a breach of 3RR and editing regardless of the talk page comments made by myself, Struway, Peridon and others cannot be right. —WFC— FL wishlist 00:24, 14 September 2012 (UTC)


 * DePiep, you are just coming off a block for a 1RR violation of ARBPIA restriction. I've seen you around to think you are intentionally being obtuse here.  You're often quick to note how every admin is arrogant and abusive, yet you claim you don't know one when you see one.  My points on your talk page and the article talk page speak for themselves, and the history at the article is clear. I've tried to just end the problem, but I will leave this up to the neutral 3RR specialists to do the counting, since I've warned you about 3RR in other cases, and had to decline an unblock request from you just the other day.  Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;   Join WER 00:44, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * . Also for multiple removals of the speedy deletion tag as the article's author (you don't have to "remember" the rule - it says so on the tag in bold). Bbb23 (talk) 00:59, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I did not do multiple removals of the speedy tag. Bbb23 knows by now.  -DePiep (talk) 02:35, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

This is a dispute about an template I added to the newly-created Phallic architecture article. As I've explained on the talk page, I think the article needs expert attention, but Dr. Blofeld seems intent on edit-warring over the template without ant discussion beyond an assertion that "it is... ridiculous to suggest that phallic architecture has an 'expert' who is likely to edit wikipedia" (edit summary to this revert ) As I've pointed out in the ongoing discussion on my talk page "The subject clearly isn't just 'architecture' anyway - it is as much about sociology and anthropology for a start." (see User talk:AndyTheGrump). Essentially, as I see it, Blofeld is asserting that there are no 'experts', so nobody can improve the article, in spite of the obvious flaws I've indicated on the talk page, and he seems to want to edit-war over it. He is only at three reverts so far, but clearly refuses to address the issue properly. AndyTheGrump (talk) 17:00, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Comments:

Does any admin here seriously think that an article on architecture which resembles a penis will have an army of experts swarming to come to wikipedia and improve it. The tag is about as pointless as you can get. I'm not an expert on most of the subjects I edit, I'm a good researcher though and work well if I'm allowed to happily edit without obstruction. I am keen to constructively address the article providing you back off and stop being a grump basically. I've requested the article from JSTOR you wanted from Bgwhite. If you spent more of your time trying to solve what you think is the problem yourself instead of removing a lot of material, fussing about it on the article talk page and then wondering why other editors think your slopping an "Expert tag" on the top of a highly obscure article is highly inappropriate you'd get on a lot better with your fellow editors. You've gatecrashed this article from the moment I started it and you've put me off working on for fear of you reverting me and me wasting my time. Just back off.♦ Dr. Blofeld  17:07, 16 September 2012 (UTC)


 * . As Andy acknowledges, only 3 reverts by Dr. B. I'm not going to block Dr. B. for edit-warring alone, particularly on a tag issue. Rather than lock the article, how about seeking dispute resolution on the tag.Bbb23 (talk) 17:19, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm open to constructive comments or valid actions. I'm not in the habit of challenging others. Somebody placed a tag on Osiandrian controversy which I agree with. But I think placing an expert tag in an article on buildings which look like a penis looks more of a joke than the article itself.♦ Dr. Blofeld  17:26, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Here's a constructive comment - how about reading WP:OWN? I have as much right to comment on the article as you. Probably more so, since I seem to be approaching it as a serious subject, not a 'joke article' thrown together for a DYK. AndyTheGrump (talk) 17:47, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Comments: Upon viewing today’s featured article, I was surprised to discover that there was no image in the infobox, as is standard formatting on Wikipedia when a free use image is available per WP:Images. I then added the available free use image to the infobox along with a couple other parameters to the infobox. Upon viewing the article again a few hours later, I discovered the image had been removed. I assumed it was just a routine case of vandalism of today’s featured article as often happens, so I added the image back. I just now looked at the article again, and I discovered the image had disappeared yet again. I then took a look at the article history, and discovered that Nikkimaria had been reverting any additions to the infobox by me and at least 4 other good faith editors within the last 24 hours. This activity clearly violated the 3 revert rule. I then took a look at her user page and was shocked to discover she is actually an administrator. Not only that, but it also appears from her edit summaries that she was using Twinkle rollback privileges to do these reverts, which is a clear violation of the Twinkle abuse policy and would be, on its own, grounds for a block.

There is absolutely no excuse for this type of behavior by an admin, as an admin is expected to know and follow Wikipedia policies, and should be setting an example for other editors to follow. Per Administrator conduct policy, “Administrators are expected to lead by example… Administrators are expected to follow Wikipedia policies”.

An admin blatantly violating Wikipedia policies in this manner is totally unacceptable conduct by an admin and must be dealt with accordingly.

 * Nope, wasn't using Twinkle, all these edits were manual. I was, however, maintaining the quality of a featured article that was then on the main page, which does allow for some leeway under the edit-warring policy. If, in the process of monitoring changes and vandal edits to that article, I stepped over the line, I apologize for that. I invite Rreagan007 to discuss his/her views on image placement on the talk page, where this discussion belongs, and entreat him/her not to engage in such disputes while an article is mainpaged.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:

Comments:

I really did not want to bring this here. I would hope that the editor in question would self-revert and this can be put to bed without admin intervention.

A user added some content which I reverted due to (IMO) being a POV and coatrack edit. User "Still Standing" undid my reversion (thus reinserting the disputed content) insisting we discuss the issue on the talk page. I once again removed the content and joined the talk page so that we could get to the "D" in BRD. I reiterated my concerns about POV and coatrack issues (which from a quick view of the article should be readily apparent) and I'm getting a "I DIDNT HEAR THAT" response. At least one other editor on the TP at least understands my concerns about the coatrack.

This user is (or should be) well familiar with WP:BRD and that its not WP:BRRD. I suggest that he is being intetionally disruptive. I request that he self-revert and he not do this again. little green rosetta $central scrutinizer (talk)$ 00:32, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Using a left-wing source (not inappropriate for opinion, but not inherently notable to declare fact or make neutral claims) to make a partisan coatrack assertation is bad enough, but not inherently disruptive - but edit warring over including it instead of discussing it? Still knows better than to edit war, so there is no real excuse for it here. Toa  Nidhiki05  01:01, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Here are the recent edits by SillStanding24-7, as formatted by the 3rr.php script:


 * 06:47, 15 September 2012 (edit summary: "removing redundant reference; same exact article as the previous ref")
 * 08:58, 15 September 2012 (edit summary: "there is no "gay influence"; that's their conspiracy theory and we can't use Wikipedia's voice for it")

 * 00:10, 17 September 2012 (edit summary: "Reverted unexplained removal")
 * In this list, edits 1-4 by StillStanding-247 are consecutive. The above does not show four reverts in 24 hours, though admins will need to decide whether this is a pattern of edit warring. The submitter of this report is complaining about edits #6 and #7 as 'restoring recently disputed content.' The question is whether Michele Bachmann should be named as part of the story of the Parents Action League. I assume that people who don't think well of Bachmann want to add the material. Apparently StillStanding-247 feels that the connection should be asserted in the article. If Mother Jones is the source of the connection, then the opinion comes from a journal unlikely to be neutral in the dispute. EdJohnston (talk) 01:49, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Ed, thank you for cleaning up my (poor) submission. I think you have the overall gist of the complaint.  I would like to point out that I'm not necesarily against linking Bachman to this article, but I objected to the (in my view) POV presentation of the material amongst other things.  Per BRD the edit in question should be discussed, not included and then discussed.  3RR has not been crossed, but I feel ISS is demonstrating WP:IDHT to a tee.   little  green rosetta $central scrutinizer (talk)$ 01:57, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Many of these aren't even reverts or are contiguous, or both. 3RR has not been violated.

 * LGR shows many reverts in that time scope, and his talk page posts are evasive.
 * I support protecting the page to force him to state his reasons instead of ducking my questions or edit-warring. I&#39;m StillStanding (24/7) (talk) 02:27, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Still, don't play the ignorance card - you know full well that you don't have to break 3RR to be edit warring. You also know what bold, revert, discuss is, so why not follow it? If you have the superior argument and are following process and policy, you shouldn't have to revert because your idea would be policy-compliant and neutral. Toa  Nidhiki05  02:42, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * First, let's not pretend that you're in any way neutral. You side against me consistently, and now you're piling on because this is a false report against me.
 * Second, I'm going to suggest that any admin reading this ignore us both and see for themselves whether LGR is being evasive. It's all in the talk page that I linked to (including the section at the bottom). I&#39;m StillStanding (24/7) (talk) 02:51, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't side for or against anyone because this isn't a warzone. If I wanted to pretend like I'm in a warzone I'd be playing Call of Duty, not arguing with people I don't know on the internet. Politics isn't my main topic area for that reason - it simply isn't much fun to edit there. When I do comment or edit, I support additions I think are supported by vital policy and it just so happens that many of the additions you support are ones I feel are incorrect. I'm not 'piling on because this is a false nomination' - I noticed the notice on your talk page, examined the evidence, and commented. I haven't endorsed any proposals or anything, I've noted that you know the policy on edit warring and there is no real reason for you to be doing it.
 * bold, revert, delete does not mean 'revert back to my edit while we discuss', it means 'discuss controversial changes if there are objections through reverts and establish consensus before re-adding it'. Still knows our policies, he isn't ignorant. I urge all admins or reviewing editors to examine the material added and the reverts and compare them to applicable policy, and see the clear disconnect. As long as the solution deals with the issue, I'll support it. Toa  Nidhiki05  03:05, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * You're a member of WikiProject Conservatism. Consider that before you pretend to be neutral. I&#39;m StillStanding (24/7) (talk) 03:08, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not pretending to be anything. Toa  Nidhiki05  03:19, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Just to chime in. So out of curiosity, why are you deploying red herrings to distract from the point of this report against you?  What does his being a member of a Wikiproject have to do with this report?  Perhaps you can enlighten me?  Is it that you are currently planning a RFC against the Wikiproject therefore you are claiming these members have an axe to grind against you?  Is that what you're accusing him of?

Anyhow, I have things to do. I very clearly haven't edit-warred. This is a false report and should be closed. I&#39;m StillStanding (24/7) (talk) 03:13, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

This dispute spreads beyond this article. The bottom line is that User:Shipofcool has been replacing the historic charts on the "XXXX in film" articles with his own revisionist rankings. The problem though was that these revisionist charts aren't complete, since the box-office data is unavailable for many older films. Impartial comments at were obtained where User:Grapple X commented that If it could be uniformly, and reliably, switched to gross, then I guess that would be alright. After Shipofcool dismissed my concerns (see ) I took the dispute to the Film project where User:Gothicfilm commented ''Clearly the same figures - box-office grosses and theatrical rentals - should be used consistently. Shipofcool does not seem to have listed what his source for grosses on the pre-1990 films would be. If only rental figures are available on the older films, that's what you go with, right?''. Shipofcool has continued with his disruptive editing despite the fact no editor has voiced support for his edits, and the two impartial editors only advocated replacing the lists if the data could be uniformly transformed. This has not been the case, with Shipofcool simply removing the films from the chart where he could not source a replacement figure. He clearly isn't acting in accordance with the approach as advocated by the two independent editors. Betty Logan (talk) 03:15, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:

Comments:

Jeremy112233 is currently engaging in disruptive/contentious editing on the lead in Frank Vandersloot. The article was revised a few days ago (prior to Jermey's first appearance) to indicate that Vandesloot's company Melaleuca is a multi-level marketing (MLM) company. The change was supported by numerous references (more than 20) and by loose editorial consensus after some weak objections had been raised -- the objections were addressed in 3 different forums including the Talk page, and RSN. After that, the article was stable until Jeremy started reverting today (obfuscating the designation as an MLM) and edit warring over the issue. He has removed the basic MLM description of Melaleuca and instead inserted the following statement in the lead -- "Melaleuca is described by some as being a multi-level marketing company[1][2] and described by others as being a direct marketing company.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]" This is problematic on many levels.

First and foremost, the edit is misleading and makes no sense because it describes the company using the vague top-level term "direct marketing company", when in reality, MLM is a sub-type of direct marketing (see multi-level marketing), so Jermey's edit is akin to nonsensically arguing that Bugs Bunny isn't a rabbit because he is a mammal. Obviously, MLM is a more specific and more appropriate term.

Second, Jeremy bypased the Talk page and did not attempt to gain consensus for the reversion, despite the fact that the issue had previously been under active discussion by many editors and a rough consensus in support of the MLM designation had been reached.

Third, the body text of the article doesn't refer to any such nomenclature controversy about "direct marketing" vs "MLM" (the notion has been manufactured by Jeremy and it smacks of WP:OR), nor do any of the sources added, so it has no place being in the lead (see WP:LEAD).

Lastly, the user appeared on the Vandersloot article shortly after having wikistalked me from another article (Protandim) on which we had a brief and minor locking of horns recently after he was blanking text in the article.. I am requesting that the editor be blocked and the article reverted to the last stable version prior to Jeremy's edits. Rhode Island Red (talk) 03:51, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
 * See WP:OWN - and noting that RIR has clearly been more than a "willing participant" in any edit war at this point, including adding clear violations per WP:BLP (using opinion articles as sources to make charges of criminal wrongdoing, of "buying judges" etc.).  WP:BOOMERANG obviously applies here. Collect (talk) 11:07, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Collect, you've been forum shopping hoping to get the answer you wanted but it didn't happen. Every un-involved editor that weighed in on this question after you posted it to Talk and RSN disagreed with you. You have no grounds for that WP:OWN red herring. Your comment above has no bearing on this particular case of 3RR. I've been following protocol. Rhode Island Red (talk) 14:11, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The edit history of that article is exceedingly clear. Your personal attack is, moreover, a tad unlikely to impress anyone.  The noticeboard here is to try to prevent edit war, not to work in favour of one edit warrior who reports another - the goal is to have no such battleground mentality about articles.  Cheers. Collect (talk) 22:19, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Out of curiosity, I might ask to clarify what you meant by personal attack ("forum shopping" was a simple statement of fact), but that question, like your comment above, would have no place in a 3RR report. Since you are an involved party, your comment does not appear to be at all constructive but rather is carrying over warrior behavior onto the very page that is designed to prevent it. If you have nothing salient to add, saying nothing is never a bad idea. Rhode Island Red (talk) 22:33, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

This article has popped up on my radar several times recently, so I finally took a look at it. In addition to the very obvious 3RR violation, Jeremy's text is also WP:NPOV; it uses the word “accused” in reference to the MLM claim, which is very obviously not neutral—and as such, RIR is correct to remove it per WP:BLP. But in any case, Jeremy crossed what is widely said to be the bright line. —$Kerfuffler stalk harass$ 22:39, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

I am sorry about the other edits, but "temple mount" is what the jews call it as they believe Solomon's temple was there. Calling a mosque a temple is simply wrong. Just like calling a church a synagogue. Two different faiths. And the term "Al-Aqsa" refers to the whole area and since this article is about "Al - Aqsa" mosque, let us stick to that. Besides, There is an article about the temple mount. And an article about the excavations under the temple mount also mention that they were under Al-Aqsa. SajjadF (talk) 23:58, 19 September 2012 (UTC)


 * This is English-language Wikipedia and we use the common English names for things. That's why the article refers to "Al-Aqsa Mosque" and not "Masjid Al-Aqsa".

Unfortunately, however, the editor continues to a) not engage in conversation or ask questions pertaining to the edit notice (as instructed by the edit notice in big, red letters), 3RR policy, edit warring, etc., b) not adhere to warnings put on their talk page, and c) their behavior continues to be an issue because this is the type of editor who will only perhaps learn if more serious measures are taken.

Everyone has been very reasonable with the IP.

There is currently a dispute resolution about whether or not to include the image. Snowded has asserted that the dispute resolution for removing the image has been solved in the previous one (diff) when it hasn't been.

I asked him to self-revert to which he refused (diff). As well he has accused me of "trapping" Widescreen who was blocked twice for the same thing (diff).

As far as I can tell this is a clear breach of WP:BRD since he is reverting when the issue is being discussed in DRN. CartoonDiablo (talk) 16:59, 20 September 2012 (UTC)


 * . Both editors warned and I will block for repetition. --John (talk) 17:17, 20 September 2012 (UTC)


 * You need to check a bit further John.  CartoonDiablo has attempted to insert this table/image on three articles and its been to dispute resolution several times.  The clear consensus there was that it was not an appropriate edition in that it gave a false impression and/or was original research.  I've summarised that on his talk page.  In effect he is insisting on inserting the material against that consensus.   The DRN discussion was over, he has added a comment recently and got the same result.  Now none of this is obvious as the discussion has been around the Family Therapy and CBT articles.  The Psychoanalysis article is the third but there is no trace to the other discussions.   So what we have here is a case of an editor refusing to accept the communities decision and insisting on inserting a table/image of his own creation; and edit warring on the grounds that he is still discussing the issue at DRP.
 * Now I was an uninvolved editor until a few days ago, I saw a dispute on ANI and as this as area in which I have expertise I looked into it. It took me some hours to track through the history to the DRP discussions and I don't expect an admin patrolling this page to have to do that.  But you might want to check this link which shows that discussion.  <font color="#801818" face="Papyrus">Snowded  <font color="#708090" face="Baskerville">TALK 19:04, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Of course they do and there are alternatives. The matter goes to an RfC for something like DR and its resolved.  That had happened.  If you check the history you will see my first reaction was to put a PoV tag on the paragraph, while I checked into the facts.  Then I found the DR material so I removed it per that community consensus.  Over several days (check his talk page and my edit summaries) I tried to explain he had no consensus for insertion of the material.  I even warning him that I would raise his behaviour here or at ANI which is what triggered the report.  <font color="#801818" face="Papyrus">Snowded  <font color="#708090" face="Baskerville">TALK 05:36, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

CartoonDiablo has edit warred with multiple editors over time on the same issue and ignored practically any feedback except for switching from a table to a picture of the same table, which is an extremely lame form of wikilawyering. The numerous discussions on this issue linked in the ANI thread show that he drove away at least half-dozen editors who expressed their objection. Voluminous repetition and tiring out the opposition with umpteen DR threads is how one editor with plenty of time on his hands wins on Wikipedia: defeat in detail. The collective failure of admins to put a stop to the WP:TRUTH campaign of one editor is rather worrisome, but their time is limited too. A RfC/U on CartoonDiablo should be started by those involved who tried and failed to resolve the matter, but I suspect they're just sick and tired of this.

 * And we have another example of a misleading edit summary here. There is a clear consensus at the moment to remove the image/table, but CartoonDiablo insists on retaining it where he can, arguing that because he is discussing it the question is still open.  <font color="#801818" face="Papyrus">Snowded  <font color="#708090" face="Baskerville">TALK 05:15, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Let us pls. stop tolerating harassment/irrelevant naming of the sections in the South China Sea talk page. We know very clear that based on wikipedia guidelines, the Article's Talk Page (SECTION names) is reserved for ISSUES RELATED to the article, and NOT names of editors/users. The section name made by Benlisquare (entitled @fabyan17) is already a personal attack to the user and not the issue being debated. The proper venue should be in the user's talk page. There should be no double-standards here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fabyan17 (talk • contribs) 21:37, 21 September 2012 (UTC)


 * The fact that you are not allowed to edit this user's talk page comments was pointed out to you one (1) two (2) three (3) four (4) times in edit summaries, which the software displays before and after you undo the edits. In case you missed that, it was mentioned to you for a fifth (5) time on the article talk page. Or, if you weren't looking at that, you got the message hand-delivered to your own talk page for the sixth (6) time. Somehow missed that? You got told a seventh (7) time on someone else's talk page that what you did was not permissible. We're at an administrator's noticeboard where I just reported you for wrongdoing (8), and you're still defending your actions. This is a classic case of WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT. Shrigley (talk) 21:53, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

This seems to mainly be an edit war between Fabyan17 and Benlisquare about what the body of water is called in the Phillipines. It seems to me there are more productive routes (e.g. WP:DRN) for solving this problem than making long winded personal attacks against another editor on the article talk page. This discussion should be directed elsewhere. —$Kerfuffler prowl howl$ 22:34, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
 * More like an edit war between Fabyan17 and half a dozen editors on multiple articles. The content issue shouldn't matter on this board, but it's worthwhile to note that the body of water is international, borders seven countries, and has had only one English name before last year.


 * Benlisquare's message was not a "long winded personal attack". The tone was addressed towards the origin of the disruptive recent edits, but this personalization could be changed with a simple copyedit. The bulk of the message focused on content, specifically Fabyan17's abuse of disambiguation pages, flouting of the Manual of Style, suppression of non-Filipino nationalist viewpoints, and refusal to discuss his edits.


 * The point is, the users who disagree with Fabyan are willing to use the talk page, but Fabyan not only won't use the talk page but he repeatedly removes all attempts at dialogue not only from his own talk page but also from the article's talk page. If he won't use talk pages, DRN is not going to help. Shrigley (talk) 01:59, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
 * . This is unseemly to say the least. Fabyan's removal of the material from the talk page was appropriate. The material was an attack and inappropriate for an article talk page. Benlisquare copied warnings from Fabyan's talk page and pasted them into the article talk page. Nothing short of outrageous, in my view, regardless of what anyone thinks of Fabyan's conduct otherwise. I have removed the section from the talk page, and I wouldn't like to see anyone restoring it.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:37, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
 * As I pointed out above, the meat of the message related to content issues, but when dealing with an unrepentant edit-warrior, the message also necessarily covers conduct issues, like Fabyan17's refusal to use the talk page. A plea to use the talk page is not a personal attack. Many Wikipedia pages encourage and assume that important discussions take place on the relatively open article talk space, rather than on personal user space, including ANEW. For an ANEW judgment to discourage article talk dialogue... well, that's beyond the pale.


 * The true outrage here is that the same administrator who found a frivolous reason to excuse Fabyan17's flat-out 3RR violation four days ago, is doing the same exact thing of ignoring his 3RR violation again by saying, "But the other guy was bad too!" So here's my bold prediction: we'll be back on this board again in a few days, because Fabyan17's past two experiences here tell him that he can get away with blatant, distributed edit-warring as long as he has some scapegoat editor from which to claim "Harassment!" Shrigley (talk) 01:59, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Quite frankly I am astonished by Bbb23's decision to what was a blatant violation of WP:TPO and WP:3RR. Bazonka (talk) 06:03, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I totally agree with Bbb23. What belongs to a user page and to one user's conduct has to remain there; in fact the only frivolous thing was Benlisquare's posting of user-related warnings at a public forum like an article talk page. If you feel that one user's conduct is problematic, feel free to report them at ANI but don't move personal matters to the article talk. De728631 (talk) 11:27, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I am not entirely condoning Benlisquare, but it should be noted that whilst his post on the talk page was directed towards Fabyan17, it was specifically related to the content of the article. (Also note that a user talk page is still a public forum.) But however well or badly Benlisquare behaved, it does not remove the fact that Fabyan17's actions were still a gross violation of WP:TPO and WP:3RR. Bazonka (talk) 11:37, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
 * @De728631: I've replied to this "allegation" on Bbb23's talk page. This is not a "personal matter", it is definitely related to the article. Furthermore, now it has been twice that this user has "gotten away" with disruptive editing, edit warring and 3RR violation, for no reasonable justification at all. I hope everyone feels fulfilled since we're essentially promoting more problematic things occuring in the future.

The editor seems reluctant to accept consensus to not include his personal drawing for inclusion on the article. He appears to misunderstand consensus and has accused this editor of vandalism by removing the map that goes against the current discussion.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: Large conversation before edit warring

Comments:

This draconian attempt at blocking legitimate edits is laughable, the edit was made to specifically reference what "reviews" the author was talking about to leave this out is tantamount to context fraud, the sources cited are reliable as they are first hand account of the authors opinion, even if they as themselves would not server as critical reception they deserve mention and sourcing.

Furthermore the talk itself shows a consensus of users requesting this information be added, and the same few who keep reverting it defending their position against including it, including the user torchiest who started this request.Unnamed101 (talk) 05:41, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
 * This is a classic example of misunderstanding the problem and point of contention caused by your insistence on not reading the links to policies and guidelines that other editors continue to provide you. There is no "draconian" blocking of edits. It has been explained over and over that non-professional user reviews are not reliable sources. But rather than try discuss it and reach an understanding of the issue, you just keep adding them back. —<B>Torchiest</B> talk<sub style="margin-left:-3ex;">edits 10:27, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
 * That's crock, the edits and links are vital to the information being presented, without it is the literary equivalent of saying "the ____ is orange" what is orange, how do we know it is orange? the information being cited was not being cited as a review but as an important aspect to complete the information, regardless of whether or not they merit as actual reviews which you insist I am presenting them as.Unnamed101 (talk) 14:32, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

User:Trekphiler reported by User:Andy Dingley (Result: No violation)
Page: User being reported:

WP:POINT issue. Trekphiler appears to be edit-warring with himself.

Some time around 2009, the article Ford Model T had the extraordinary claim added that the Model T ran at Le Mans, by adding the category Category:24 Hours of Le Mans race cars This was queried back then at Talk:Ford_Model_T, but Trekphiler argued (uncited, and on a weak claim) that it should be left this way.

Today he seems to have forgotten that, questioned and removed the categorization, with a rather sarcastic edit summary aimed at other unspecified editors. At User_talk:Trekphiler I reminded him that it was only his comments that had kept it the first time round. After which he then restored the category he'd only just removed. I deleted it, as it's still uncited and with no credible evidence to support it. Trekphiler than removed it a second time. This just seems to be WP:POINT.

This category is wrong. It's at the bizarre end of believable at best and needs robust sourcing and explanation if it's to stay. We have none of this. Andy Dingley (talk) 00:23, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * . The background is interesting, but where is the edit-warring? Trekphiler has made only one revert. The first doesn't count because they self-reverted. Not that it's terribly important given the context, but you also didn't warn the user you thought they were edit-warring.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:36, 23 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm happy to agree that it's not EW and certainly not 3RR, but it's clearly POINTy and WQA is no longer available. Someone needs to wield the cluebat and I'm unwilling to, lest I be accused of edit-warring in turn. This is just not an appropriate cat to add to the article. Where's the sourcing? What happened to WP:V?  I've just removed it again.  After all, it's not edit warring, is it?  Andy Dingley (talk) 00:52, 23 September 2012 (UTC)


 * The second rv was only after being accused of trying to make a point, after self-rv to be consistent with the view I originally accepted, which Andy Dingley claims I "insisted" on. So he comes here, with a false claim of edit war, because he doesn't like the edit summary? Somebody's being a troll. And I am getting damn sick & tired of being the butt of false accusations. <font face="cursive" color="#9400D3"> TREKphiler  <font face="cursive" color="#008000">any time you're ready, Uhura  00:55, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Come on, Andy, you have a content dispute, you take it to the talk page and go through dispute resolution. You don't come to this board just because you believe you have nowhere else to go. And being smart-alecky ("After all, it's not edit warring, is it?") isn't helpful. And, Trekphiler, you could pay some attention to the substance of Andy's comments. Frankly, I haven't looked at the content, but if the cat isn't supported in the body, it doesn't belong.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:15, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

And also, of note, Sean's first "revert" was reverting the CommonsDelinkerBot as the image in question had been restored on commons.

 * The discretionary sanctions are there to prevent disruption. I am not aware that they are designed to keep IP hoppers out. You're both edit warring, you should both be blocked. IP, don't claim that 1R doesn't apply to you--that's the lowest way out, and of course this is about you also. I don't know if there's anyone right in this unseemly war or not, but I do know that this should have been avoided by Sean, who, it seems to me, was successfully baited and let it happen. I'm awaiting input from another admin (nice to get consensus on something like this), but block both and keep an eye on the POV warrior without an account is my suggestion.

 * It would be useful if Admins logged this at Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles. Sean has been in the topic area for awhile so it might be necessary to have the log clear if admins are still using escalating blocks to address misbehavior. Clarity is also important if there is going to be an ARBPIA3. More importantly, the IP should be notated as notified since there will more than likely be a sockpuppet case and/or further discussion from them in the topic area.

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

Comments:

The editor violated WP:3RR on my talk page, the GNU's diffs is for a general edit warring report. Despite discussion on the GNU talk page the editor is removing any mention of a maintenance template on the article and despite the fact that there is a previous consensus for the template and the issue the template highlights is still there, reverting the edits of three different editors in order to remove the template just because he doesn't see the point of the template. Despite requests to stop restoring conversations that I have removed from my talk page, they continue to edit-war to restore the discussions. - SudoGhost 00:47, 23 September 2012 (UTC)


 * All pretty self explanatory if you look at the histories, but to sum up: the GNU situation is still under discussion, and SudoGhost seems to think his talk page is not a place for people to respond to him at (he seems to think my own talk page is the only suitable medium with which to communicate with SudoGhost). ¦ Reisio (talk) 00:55, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * And you ignore the discussion to continue to edit war against multiple editors without actually discussing the issue on the talk page, but I do appreciate that you think it's fine to edit war and ignore WP:BRD and WP:STATUSQUO as long as someone else is using the discussion on the talk page. As for my talk page, WP:TPO is pretty clear on that, and if you continue to restore conversations I remove, that is edit warring. If I respond at another location, that does not mean that you repeatedly copy the entire discussion to my talk page over and over, especially when I ask you not to multiple times. Not only does that fragment the discussion, but there's no reason to have the same discussion in two locations. - SudoGhost 00:59, 23 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Result: Stale. The dispute about the primary source tag is now at WP:DRN. SudoGhost is obviously correct that an editor can remove threads from their own talk page. Such removals are not counted as reverts (per WP:3RRNO item 2). In the time it took to have this dispute somebody could probably have fixed the sourcing of the article, making the discussion unnecessary. If tag warring continues after the DRN is over the admins are unlikely to show much patience. EdJohnston (talk) 19:35, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * How is this stale? Them edit-warring on my talk page is stale as well?  I have no interest in discussing anything because I know they're going to copy the entire discussion to my talk page every time I do; the talk page issue is far from stale. - SudoGhost 21:35, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Reisio has not posted to your talk since 00:45 on 23 September. Also, we assume that he will correct his behavior now that the DRN is running. The DRN should be given a chance to work. If you see more evidence of edit warring you could resubmit. EdJohnston (talk) 22:34, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Raisio has not posted to my talk because I haven't responded to him anywhere since then. The DRN has nothing to do with that behavior on my talk page, and there is no reason to assume that this behavior will cease.  3RR is a bright-line rule, let alone 5 reverts and the issue of edit warring on my talk page is not "stale".  The GNU page is a separate issue where the editor was edit warring, the issue of edit warring on my talk page has not gone away; the editor has continuously edit warred on my talk page despite multiple requests to stop, to the point that I have no interest in any discussion this editor is in any way involved in because I do not wish to be harassed in this manner.  If this manner of edit warring and harassment is acceptable just because some other editor opened a DRN discussion on a completely separate issue, then what is the point of 3RR?  - SudoGhost 22:58, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Comments: Bali ultimate has reverted three different editors in quick succession in violation of 1rr restrictions delineated on the talk page

Comment I note that no attempt to discuss this on the talk page has been attempted - and frankly, AnkhMorpork's citing of WP:ARBPIA restrictions here can only be seen as monumental chutzpah. The supposed 'conspiracy theory' is sourced to an article which mentions in passing a 'myth' amongst Lebanese fishermen regarding a well-documented invasive species: nowhere does the article describe this 'myth' as a 'conspiracy theory', and nowhere does it claim (per our article lede) that the fish were released "by Israel to attack civilians or to conduct espionage". Then again the article also seems to be suggesting that the idea that puffer fish are poisonous is a myth. Not only ridiculous POV-pushing, but ignorant as well.

 * Yup. As per usual. I'd venture to suggest that anyone adding further 'conspiracies' to that heap of shit of an article is in automatic violation of WP:ARBPIA restrictions by definition. It is nothing but WP:OR, propaganda, and outright fantasy. AndyTheGrump (talk) 13:54, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

 * 1st revert: - a revert of this.
 * 2nd revert: - removal of 5 external links.
 * 3rd revert: - removal of an entire section and messes up the formatting of the page (changes the subsection formatting, now it's not visible in TOC and there's an odd "b" in front of it).  Edit summary also doesn't fit the edit. Edit summary claims that this is a removal of a blog, while edit also removes a media outlet.  As such, I reverted it, considering the above, and hoping that if there was still an issue, it'd be taken on the talk page.
 * 4th revert: - in an edit summary of capital letters, removes the entire section again, messes up the page formatting, and removes a media outlet reference as well.  Didn't use the preview button to look at it first time, and not now either.

Last section on his talk page is a warning from another editor regarding 3RR, so he certainly knows what it is.

WilliamJE is well familiar with Wikipedia policy, and is not afraid to accuse others of not knowing Wikipedia policies on talk pages. It's unfortunate he's so committed to getting this article speedily deleted and removing content that can prevent that, but now it's gone and violated 3RR (or at the very least, edit warring) and the page formatting. --<small style="border: 1px dashed;padding:1px 4px 1px 3px;white-space:nowrap"> Activism  1234  23:50, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Comments:

This editor should make himself aware of another WP:BOOMERANG. He accuses me of edit warring and gives 4 proofs.

2nd proof- The removal of 4 EL that were being used already as IC. That's removing repetition not edit warring.

3rd and 4th proofs- The source for something taking place in Feb 2012 was from August 2011. A source being used was from a blog, which WP:RS covers. Instead of fixing his edits and coming up with a better source, he put it back up again. Note I said here I'm stepping away and that came before any warnings or this discussion.

1st edit- I put the speedy deletion tag back up. This administrator told me on his talk page that a CSD can be taken down by someone other than the creator. So I admitted my error.

On the other hand this editor bringing this complaint against me accused me of lying. He's repeatedly cited an AFD discussion but at the same time insists they don't know anything WP:DRV which is mentioned right at the top of the page.

Bottom line this editor has shown repeated bad faith. He called me a liar and didn't apologize. He didn't go to deletion review even though he can still do that now. Consensus can be changed, but the article has only been changed cosmetically in addition to being padded, and nothing has occurred between the AFD and now to change the consensus. An article that the helicopters were put back into service. Routine....William 00:33, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I never called you a liar, you wrote a very confusing statement and I called that a lie, and after you made it clearer, I asked you to forgive me for the confusion here. I don't see how that's bad-faith.  On the other hand, on the talk page you have assumed that I don't know any Wikipedia policies, you have assumed that I definitely knew that I should've gone to DRV for an article I didn't create (which wasn't part of the closing admin's comments either, and isn't mentioned in any comments there... Yes, I now see it's written in small text at the top of the page, small text that most people probably don't read... Looking at some other AfDs, that appears on every AfD, but also says to comment on the talk page... Article in question was deleted once and was put back up again a second time, without DRV), and after asking to apologize for a comment I made in response to a confusing edit, you gave me hardly any time and simply went and said that I was refusing to do so.  I'd say that's bad-faith, and certainly doesn't assume good faith.  Note I have never asked for such an apology in regards to your claims that I "clearly" don't know Wikipedia policies or that I certainly knew to go to DRV for an article I didn't create.


 * Two of your edits (3 and 4) messed up the formatting of a page and were not consistent with your edit summary. Because of that, not becuase of WP:RS, I felt it easiest to simply insert it again, and if there were any issues, you could explain such on the talk page.  Be aware that what you wrote too, saying it was a blog, is a content dispute as well - while the URL has the word "blog," it does function as a website for the IDF Spokesperson as well, so I can definitely see a question whether it's legitimate or not - something that should be for the talk page, rather than simply revert again.  It wasn't clear what your intention was with the edit, as your edit summary ran counter to your edit, and messed up the page formatting (which was repeated the 4th time as well, after I specifically pointed out that error).  You could just as easily have clarified what you meant, or perhaps made the edit run along the lines of your edit summary if that's what you intended and not delete the media outlet... Instead, you did a simple revert, without taking into account what I wrote, and all in capital letters. --<small style="border: 1px dashed;padding:1px 4px 1px 3px;white-space:nowrap"> Activism  1234  00:39, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * You said something I wrote was a lie and can't apologize, you make bogus edit warring and 3rr violation claims. See Proof #2 of yours for the former and all four of your proofs for the latter. You accuse me of messing up the page. That's dead wrong too. I restored it to what it was before you made incorrect edits. You haven't gone to DRV and just further proof of your WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT


 * There's nothing for me to apologize for you for. The talk page or article shows plentiful proof of your not knowing WP:RS, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, WP:GHITS, WP:AIRCRASH and the guidelines for military accidents. Not to mention DRV, Boomerang, and maybe something else I'm forgetting.


 * I am saying nothing more before an administrator arrives. Note it is a few minutes after 9 p.m. my time. I will be out of here around 10 p.m., as is customary for me, till tomorrow....William 01:03, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * ??? Did you miss what I wrote above, namely this diff, where after you clarified a confusing comment by striking out the word "2010" and making it "2011," I said to forgive me for the initial confusion??


 * This is a good-faith edit-warring request, if it doesn't apply to you then an admin will reject it. But see, claiming that I "make bogus edit warring and 3rr violation claims" is bad-faith as well.  Assume good faith - because in reality, your assumptions about me aren't correct.  If I thought they were bogus, I wouldn't waste my time...


 * As for saying that you didn't mess up the page, as far as I can tell, that's not true. Here is a diff right before edit #3 above.  Notice the section "investigation" in the toc, and notice the lack of a "b" next to it.  Here is your edit. Notice the lack of the section "investigation" in the toc, and the odd inclusion of the letter "b" next to it.  So it seems to me, and I'm sure an admin can check this over, that you didn't restore the page to how it previously was, as the previous diff included a section in the toc and did not have the letter "b" next to it.  If that's the case, then I think that gives a lot more credence to what I said above regarding a misleading comment of his which I said was not true. --<small style="border: 1px dashed;padding:1px 4px 1px 3px;white-space:nowrap"> Activism  1234  02:25, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Summary:
 * I've made a good-faith edit-warring request, which I believe shows that WilliamJE has violated 3RR, and at the very least, has edit-warred. His last diff is a simple blanket revert, the same as edit #3, without bothering to read what I wrote, and with an edit summary all in capitals that pays no attention to my previous edit.  If he did, he wouldn't have messed up the page formatting again (section "investigation" not in TOC, random "b" next to it) as he did in edit #3, and shouldn't have removed media outlets as well if his only edit summary was against "blogs," which I pointed out.
 * WilliamJE has written on the talk page that I "clearly" do not understand Wikipedia policies, without assuming good faith and attempting to understand what I've written regarding content-dispute. Notice in that last diff that they play around with my signature, although that may be accidental (good-faith assumed).
 * WilliamJE accuses me of somehow knowing what DRV was before today, and accuses me of not knowing to go there, even though I'm not the article creator.
 * WilliamJE has accused me of calling him a liar, and has accused me of not taking that back. In reality, I wrote that a claim he made was a lie, not he himself.  Namely, his statement wrote "All inline citations and articles added to the article with one exception(That one being Sept 2010) are from 2010." As you can see, it doesn't make much sense, and contradicts itself, hence my confusion with it and different interpretation.  Once he corrected the statement to say "being Sept 2011," I accepted that and complied, and asked to forgive me.  Even when I pointed out this diff above, WilliamJE continued saying I never retracted this.

Whatever decisions the admins make, I am sure that they will understand that this request has certainly been made in good-faith, and I would not waste my time otherwise. --<small style="border: 1px dashed;padding:1px 4px 1px 3px;white-space:nowrap"> Activism  1234  02:25, 24 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Note - The speedy deletion nomination that was submitted twice by WilliamJE has been declined. The admin said that the article has significantly changed, which I also mentioned to WilliamJE on the talk page, with him responding that it's not true and that I "clearly" don't know Wikipedia policy...  Yet, the request has been declined. --<small style="border: 1px dashed;padding:1px 4px 1px 3px;white-space:nowrap"> Activism  1234  04:01, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Denis Avey/Archives/2011

Talk:Denis Avey

Comments: Wikiwatcher1 has been deleting all material from the lead that mentions the problems with the authenticity of this biography page. He also is reverting all material that refers in any detail to the controversial aspects of the 'swap' story of the WW2 veteran and ex-POW, Denis Avey. His reasons for removing material do not appear to me to be valid, viz, he regards the New Statesman, The Daily Mail and The Sunday Times as not suitable sources as they somehow to his mind are original research. E.g. he argues that material detailing the controversy using citations from a source already cited is original research yet he refuses to explain this partiality for removing only some material in the article which uses the same source (The Daily Mail). Etc. (see following diffs on the talk page    ) --Mystichumwipe (talk) 05:52, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

He has argued for acceptance of his reverting based merely on what he personally "believes", without providing any verfiable source for this belief. And he appears to think the article should rely only on what he personally believes is true or "fictional" and not on verfiability. E.g. He argued finally with this: ''*I believe key facts were verified by the person he exchanged clothes with and by that man's wife. The fact that some sceptics (in the U.K. only apparently) don't believe what he did or why, and point out some factual inconsistencies in his account, does not make it fictional''. --Mystichumwipe (talk) 05:52, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

 * New result: Blocked 48 hours. After the above closure Wikiwatcher1 continued reverting to his preferred material again, after being invited to wait for consensus on the talk page. It seems he will not allow any mention in the *article lead* of the fact that Avey's claim of breaking into Auschwitz is controversial. Although a reasonable discussion is taking place on the talk page, it does not seem he has any interest in seeking consensus there. EdJohnston (talk) 18:17, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

 * VOR acctualy meets the WP:RS policy. And I didn't tried to backup anything I was citing the Guardian about the situation of the battle and yet you reverted this because you don't like it.

 * VOR does not meet WP:RS as it classifies one side as "terrorists", and talk about how the Syrian army "liberates" areas.

Sopher99 (talk) 15:07, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

I'll repeat What I said before because the style of the format makes it look like we are bickering. The only problem I am seeing is that you are using a tic--tac report to try to ban me. I have yet to edit war - I reverted three times the attempts to add a source which breaks the WP:RS policy, and 1 revert against an edit which break the WP:NPOV. Wustenfuchs has not properly warned me of anything, nor has any attempt been made on the talk page to clarify things (Despite of a long history of using that article's talk page to resolve conflicts). Quite frankly Wustenfuchs has a histroy of trying to get people banned, to gain an editing advantage. Sopher99 (talk) 15:09, 24 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I didn't made an attempt to resolve the issue? It's the message I sent to you to which you refused to respond. About the Guardian, you acctualy reverted a satement from a rebel commenting the rebels and you said it's POV and it's discrediting the rebels... It's clear enough you removed the text as you don't like it. And about the VoR, it's your personall oppinin that the source is not reliable. You haven't provided any statement which could prove that VoR is unreliable neither any source said that. And VoR named nobody a "terrorist". --<font face="Old English Text MT"><font size="3" color="Black">Wüstenfuchs 15:10, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

 * And a fifth revert, reinstating the falsified material. Evanh2008 (talk&#124;contribs) 06:20, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
 * "Bump", as it were. Evanh2008 (talk&#124;contribs) 08:29, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
 * – 72 hours. This is already a plain 3RR, and the editor seems to be adding unsourced personal reflections to the article. Is the editor paying any attention at all to what he's doing? As noted by Evanh2008, here he changes the wording of a direct quote from adl.org to falsely claim it said something different. EdJohnston (talk) 13:10, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

The other user (User:Golfbravoecho) involved in this edit war continues to revert even after being warned. Reviewing admin might like to look into reverts done by who also displayed edit warring behavior on this article today. -- S M S  Talk 17:44, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Co-warrior with, who did stop reverting when warned of being at 3RR.
 * I have blocked both editors and protected the page for five days to allow for discussion. I count four reverts for Afireinside27 and so blocked him as well but would be open to an unblock at any time so long as he assures he won't edit war again. Ks0stm  (T•C•G•E) 20:05, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
