 * Comments:

My reasoning here is simple enough. Saying "X person is an expert on this and says [negative claim] about Y person" where no source states X person is an expert on the matter constitutes an unsourced negative claim about a living person and thus can be removed on sight as it lends undue credibility to a claim that would otherwise be a mere personal opinion. The mentioned source only claims expertise in other areas.-- The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 01:37, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * User:The Devil's Advocate is restricted per the remedies of WP:ARBGG:


 * The 'usual exceptions' is a link to WP:3RRNO, which under the heading of BLP only exempts "". The 3RRNO exception is a 'break glass in case of emergency' thing: you are allowed to revert per BLP to prevent immediate damage to someone's reputation due to false information. Calling somebody 'an expert in the area' is not what we would normally consider libelous, to that person or others. (If incorrect, it is subject to correction through the normal process of discussion). In my opinion, the Devil's Advocate should agree to step back from his effort to correct AE posts if he wants to avoid a block for violation of his WP:ARBGG restriction.

 * You are, I think, missing the implications. When you say "X is an expert on this matter and has stated Y engaged in plagiarism" the obvious implication is that X is an expert on plagiarism and used that expertise to determine Y is guilty of that very serious offense. To say an expert has deemed a person guilty of plagiarism would undeniably be libelous if one is aware the person has no expertise on the subject.-- The Devil's Advocate tlk.  cntrb. 03:24, 2 September 2015 (UTC)


 * My apologies if I am intruding where I should not be, but I just wanted to quickly convey my thoughts. To The Devil's Advocate--this all seems terribly backwards to me.  If we accept that widgeting is a heinous accusation, then "I am an expert in widgeting, and Dumuzid widgets" is certainly libelous, but so is "I like bananas and Dumuzid widgets."  Your 'BLP' fixes left the sting of the accusation in place.  That being said, I think it would be good form for you to avoid borderline cases such as this.  But for what it's worth, I think this merits no more than a warning.  Thanks all. Dumuzid (talk) 03:31, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Except, that isn't an apt comparison. What we have is an accusation from a person mentioned in a reliable source. Absent the part I removed, it is simply one person accusing another person of something heinous. There is no reason to take the accusation seriously as anyone can accuse anyone of anything. Claiming this accuser is an expert on the matter gives the accusation a false appearance of truth.- The Devil's Advocate tlk.  cntrb. 03:47, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * To my mind "one person accusing another of something heinous" is precisely the sort of issue that has BLP implications. But I might well be wrong. Dumuzid (talk) 03:56, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I would agree both comments have BLP implications, but since the accusation is mentioned in a reliable source and was phrased as an accusation it would not qualify on its own as libelous, unsourced, or poorly sourced, material. To claim the person making the accusation is an expert on the matter, when that is not contained in any reliable source, would qualify since it falsely presents the harmful accusation as more credible. What I removed was only that which could not be backed by a reliable source.-- The Devil's Advocate tlk.  cntrb. 04:03, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I see your point, and all things being equal, I would defend you -- but all things are not equal. Given your history here, and the fact that this was in a statement by someone against whom sanctions are being sought, I would certainly say that discretion is the better part of valor.  To my mind, there are far worse problems to be solved on Wikipedia that involve neither the possibility, nor even the appearance, of impropriety on your part.  Having said that, it's up to each of us to chart our own course.  Thanks. Dumuzid (talk) 04:21, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Whoa whoa whoa - hold on now. Just last week you  your  of experience here. What would an inexperienced editor know about TDA's "history" hmm? 146.185.25.138 (talk) 04:46, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, I am closing in on half a year! And I do recall seeing The Devil's Advocate before.  But here when I mentioned 'history,' I meant it as a tactful way to refer to the restrictions noted above.  Dumuzid (talk) 04:51, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Specific legal ramifications in an ongoing proceeding exist for the living person accused and as such my conscience in defending this person from wrongful accusation is clear. Other editors topic-banned following the ArbCom case have been allowed even greater leeway on BLP than I am asking for as what I removed is not backed by any source, even a contentious one. The only reason I have not reverted this restoration as well is because an admin is apparently not understanding why it is an issue despite my explanation. Hopefully, should he recognize it is an issue he will do the right thing and revert that editor himself.-- The Devil's Advocate tlk.  cntrb. 04:53, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

I've blocked TDA for 2 weeks for this clear case of a breach of topic ban, combined with the edit-warring, outrageously lame misapplication of BLP and wikilawyering in defending it. Fut.Perf. ☼ 13:14, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't quite think this is "lame" application of BLP. To remove names, the situation is thus.  We have reliable sourcing that X says Y is Z.  We say "The expert X says Y is Z". We have no clear sourcing saying X is an Expert in Z.  Therefore we are saying An Expert in Z is saying that Y is Z without having a source that says this.  This is a BLP Violation.  --Kyohyi (talk) 13:53, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * FP's closure looks correct to me. EdJohnston (talk) 14:33, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Agree. While the subjective label of "expert" might be somewhat generous or debatable, it's certainly not an unreasonable or controversial claim to the degree that it constitutes a BLP vio and needs an emergency ban-violating redaction. S warm   ♠  05:39, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Mr. Eduardo.g.harvard feels personally that truck-accident litigation "has a negative connotation." Mr. Bell also feels that Mr. Bell's profession (that is, how Mr. Bell makes a living) should not be listed at the opening of his Wikipedia article. How do Eduardo.g.harvard's feelings enter into a Wikipedia article?

In any event, Mr. Eduardo.g.harvard's response does not any answer any questions I have posed: (1) Is the entry accurate, or inaccurate? (2) Does it not quote Mr. Bell's own website? (3) Is the following description of Mr. Bell's legal specialty — that he is "an 18 wheeler lawyer" — not the one given by Mr. Bell himself? NicholasNotabene (talk) 05:55, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

His description includes many facets of law that he practices (including truck accidents). It's disingenuous to focus on the type of litigation that has a negative connotation. That lends undue weight to one issue. What's more, this info belongs under "Political Career" rather than →top. I'll continue fixing this issue as NicholasNotabene continues defaming this page.

1. It's inaccurate insofar as it promotes an unbalanced view of Mr. Bell's legal career- lending undue weight to one very specified practice.

2. I'm adding the FULL quote from his website- not a cherry picked section.

3. Though he mentions being an 18-wheeler lawyer, he also mentions a long list of other types of litigation. From the website NicholasNotabene cites "Chris Bell has represented clients in Texas on cases including truck accident law, personal injury, and commercial litigation."

Comments

NicholasNotabene continues to accuse me of being involved with Bell's campaign (which is inaccurate) and disregards the context of the material he cites in the article. Additionally, he has clearly demonstrated disregard for the 3rr. Eduardo.g.harvard (talk) 14:04, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Comments:

This user keeps on taking the dates out of the Joint Matriculation Board article. He/she has now broken the 3RR in just over an hour.

This user appears to post from many different IP addresses, including User:83.77.136.150, User:46.127.136.172 and User:92.23.28.246. The user seems to be systematically taking the dates out of many articles about qualifications (example, example, example). Often, these removals are 'buried' within other edits to the article, though sometimes they occur on their own. They are never referred to in the edit summaries, which are sometimes entirely misleading (or just rearrange the content being referred to as a front to remove the dates).

I have tried to discuss this with the user on the Joint Matriculation Board's talk page (links above) and draw the user's attention to this (here), but the user has ignored this.

Reverting back is made complicated by the other edits the user does at the same time as removing the dates. To rectify this, my most recent revert was for the dates (and their references) and nothing else (link). This was reverted nine minutes later.

This sort of tiresome behaviour is reminding me why I barely bother with Wikipedia. I only got dragged into this because I saw the Joint Matriculation Board article linked to elsewhere and wondered why all the dates had been taken out since I'd read it (I'd never edited the article until now).

 * This user is also currently edit warring at General Certificate of Secondary Education.  (talk) 14:49, 26 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment It's less edit warring than outright vandalism. This user is very persistant. I've given up on Leaving Certificate (Ireland) (for now), where the vandalism started Nov 2014. See also User:85.3.139.236. —WOFall (talk) 21:57, 26 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment Thanks for the support. I'm only just discovering the scale of this user's destruction. He/she has, over the last year (and under many different IP addresses), destroyed all the historical information in any articles about British and Irish qualifications and the exam boards that offer them. This deletion is usually buried within other edits (often of dubious quality). Dates are often replaced by phrases like 'recently' or not at (meaning changes happening decades apart appear to be co-current. The user ignores all attempts to discuss the issue, but often says 'you need to provide a solid, credible source for every single statement and number/figure you write'. Despite this, he/she often removes referenced dates (along with much other information). Right now, none of the pages for any of the qualifications have basic information like when they were introduced or the dates of major changes. Similarly, exam board articles have no foundation dates. I have tried to fix a few articles tonight (notably, Joint Matriculation Board, WJEC (exam board), NEAB, Midland Examining Group and Associated Examining Board). The dates I have added back in have been heavily (over)referenced. Time will tell whether they will be reverted right back anyway (that does appear to be this user's usual style). Is there anyway of flagging up this vandalism elsewhere? Right now, there's a whole area of Wikipedia that is of limited use. - Wumpus12 (talk) 23:20, 26 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Help! The user has now created a brand new account, User:Supervisor635. His/her contributions show that he/she has just gone round and removed all the referenced dates I just added back into the articles (JMB, AEB, MEG, NEAB, SEB and WJEC). All edits have misleading summaries.


 * To add insult to injury, he/she then gave me a 'formal warning' for edit warring on my talk page. He/she accuses me of editing warring on NEAB – an article I have edited twice ever (with the second edit correcting typos in the first). Supervisor365 has done the same to another user because they restored the 3,000 characters Supervisor365 removed without justification.


 * I do not know what to do. How does one report a sockpuppet. More to the point, how does one stop this destructive and bullying behaviour, especially as it is coming from multiple IP addresses and accounts. I have replied on my own talk page, but do not feel able to do anything else.

This was previously reported here, but it appears it got archived when Bella and the Bulldogs was temporarily fully protected due to the same problem.

Both and myself have warned them, but they have again re-inserted their edits going against MOS after MPF encouraged them not to do so and bring it up on the talk page instead.

This user appears to have a known history for this after looking at their contributions/talk page/block log. Back in late June, they got engaged in a war on List of Victorious episodes in pretty much the same nature as now.

This user is reverting two other editors, myself and Buaidh. He said I didn't take it to the Denali talk page... I did. He said some agreement was unanimous... I don't see it. I asked him to self revert and told him of the 3RR and he doesn't seem to care... Maybe there is something else Buaidh and i could have done to dissuade him from 4RR. I can certainly step back from editing the Denali article and keep it to the talk page, but he must be told to self-revert. Fyunck(click) (talk) 22:56, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Edit war on Popular_Republican_Union_(2007)
Hello, I am reporting an edit war on the page Popular_Republican_Union_(2007) that had been lasting for at least 6 months, consuming so much of my time to try to protect the page. Users involved: User:78.250.33.145, User:84.100.171.95, User:86.68.87.172, User:86.68.87.219, User:86.68.87.24, User:86.68.87.55, User:86.74.28.232, User:78.250.19.230 and the only active currently User:Francis Le français.

The cause of the disagreement are these topics:
 * 1) Is the part related to Departmental election is valid or does it fall under WP:NOT? Discussion here
 * 2) What is the political positioning of UPR? Several proposal in the talk including: neither right nor left, syncretic, centrist, diverse, far right, sovereignist. Discussion here
 * 3) Is bondy blog source valid? . Discussion here
 * 4) Lamayenneonadore source valid? Discussion here
 * 5) Official radio of quebec university choq.ca valid source? Discussion here
 * 6) Announcement of presidential candidacy at national congress, does it fall under 5P? Discussion here
 * 7) Asselineau sitting with UMP members at Paris counsel or member of the UMP? [Edit war]

I attempted every way possible to solve the issue in a calm way. History of the conflict:
 * [edit war on page with some IPs], I invite them to discuss but my request is ignored that leaded to [page protection by admin against IP contributors].
 * [After forcing them to explain their motive on the talk page, except first topic, all discussions are to explain to the other party the reasons the changes are not proper]. Sometimes, their request were justified and I integrated the change in the article.
 * [Discussions went on my talk page from this topic and all following]
 * Due to their persistence, I filled a request for 3rd party opinion. But it was declined.
 * [At the same time, I had a strong doubt on socketpuppet usage], since several IPs and Francis le Francais had same complains, and same style of contribution half in French, half in Frenglish which was concluded with an advice on behavioral monitoring
 * [RFC opened] but the other party refuse the comments brought by experienced user "focusandlearn"

Comment

Apparently bot-generated edit warring alerts were sent to two unregistered users. I, User:RaqiwasSushi, did not receive a warning though deeply involved.(**) Through this, my changes were explained in edit summary, with blind HTML, talk pages.

Thursday, about 3 am EDT, I yelled "HELP" on the Help Desk page where I posted a summary of the experience. User:68.231.26.111 did comment there. Recommendation was we move this to Portal talk:Current events/2015 August 27.

Later that morning I did that, hoping to get a discussion started. No comment from the other user later that day or now. There was an alert that my rewrite for NLRB, 8/27 was "undone." But when checked the item, the content was not changed. Couldn't find user's talk page. ... Today is was "undone" again.

Last night I thought at least for this one event problem was moot. WRONG Just checked item; changed again. Not over. UGH!

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [diff]

Comments:

This template has been mostly quiet, for the last 5-6 years (which is rather exceptional in the Israel/Palestine area). User:Alakzi then earlier today brought up what is actually a nice simplification here...which -very unfortunately- made Pigsonthewing aware of this template. He then proceeds to turn it into "standard colour"...not knowing a thing about the  Israel/Palestine conflict, where the colour blue is typically associated with Israel (.....take a look at the flag..) and where green is associated with the Muslim Palestinian majority. This is a highly political change; unfortunately I am in some doubt that Pigsonthewing is even aware of this.

Also, Pigsonthewing claims that the template is "not an article"--which, narrowly, is correct;  however   the sanctions in the I/P area very specifically mentions; "broadly constructed"...In my understanding; everything pertaining to the conflict is covered. And the 1948-depopulated villages are at *the very centre* of the conflict. Hence: 1RR. Huldra (talk) 23:37, 4 September 2015 (UTC)


 * This template is part of many I/P-related articles, so of course it is covered by ARBPIA. Huldra is right that the colors are sensitive.  If there are accessibility problems with the template then a discussion should be opened so that a solution meeting the requirements of the area can be found. Pigsonthewing should cease trying to force a change without taking these matters into account.  For the information of admins, I'll note that Pigsonthewing is not a regular of the I/P area so shouldn't be treated like a warrior there. Zerotalk 00:18, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, light blue is the navbox default; I think people would catch on pretty quickly, if they were to visit other articles. In fact, of all the navboxes in Category:Palestine templates, this appears to be the only one to use a green background. Anyway, I've made a proposal on the template talk page; let's resolve this amicably without anybody getting blocked. Alakzi (talk) 00:21, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
 * A template consisting of content transcluded into an article qualifies under "broadly construed", FWIW. That said, PotW isn't a warrior there; some people are color blind and don't know or remember what color flags are; and color stuff like that doesn't always occur to everyone immediately, if they're focused on something else. Also, if people want templates to be subject to the WP:ACDS of a particular set of articles, the templates need to have the DS banner at the top of their /doc page so they're transcluded and visible. Most template editors just edit the template; it's not like they're going to think "Hmm, I wonder if this template maybe is subject to ACDS for some reason, perhaps I should look at the talk page's banners first." We don't all memorize and think all the time about what ArbCom case might apply to what page, since most of us are not WP:JERKs or WP:BATTLEGROUNDers, and generally don't run into ACDS problems to begin with.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  01:08, 5 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Any way to remove ANY color from this navbox? End of problem.   Montanabw (talk)  06:34, 5 September 2015 (UTC)


 * The template does fall under the DS. However, I think that Andy was acting in good faith and was not attempting to make an edit "relating to the topic". I see that a discussion is ongoing and it should play out there. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 10:23, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

Comments:

These are only some of the reverts that Jytdog has performed today (September 1, 2015) at this article. There is ongoing discussion about recent edits on the Talk page involving multiple editors, but Jytdog's large-scale reversions are extremely disruptive to this process. DrChrissy (talk) 20:12, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

This noticeboard is starting to look like the GMO content dispute noticeboard. For goodness' sake, please just full-protect the page. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:12, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I'd agree with the protection just to settle everyone down for a bit. It seems like some of the more recent edit warring cases related to other GMO articles above got other editors active all of a sudden. Kingofaces43 (talk) 01:13, 2 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Ugh yes, please lock the article. I drafted a case earlier today and withdrew it as I was hoping to work things out on Talk but my RW job ate my day. (still buried and just peeped my head in only to find this)


 * The aggressive editig continues in the GM suite - the destabilizing started by Prokaryotes is spreading, with DrChrissy unfortunately broadening and deepening his field of conflict with me and other persistent anti-GMO editors joining in. Things are not looking rosy.


 * But yes today DrChrissy decided to make a significant expansion to the toxicity section, adding loads of WP:TECHNICAL detail in some places like 'In a study of rats and mice fed diets of containing 0%, 0.3125%, 0.625%, 1.25%, 2.5%, or 5.0% glyphosate for 13 weeks, endocrine effects..." or "Pregnant rats given 3,500 mg/kg/day glyphosate by gavage (stomach tube) on gestation days 6-19 suffered effects including both increased maternal mortality and the number of fetal skeletal abnormalities" (3,500 mg/kg/day is a huge amount of glyphosate).


 * and in other places adding really introductory explanations (eg. explaining what LD50 is) and nonsense babytalk like "Glyphosate can be lethal to non-human mammals." (nonsense because you can put any noun or gerund into the place where "glyphosate" sits and it will be true b/c The dose makes the poison. Anyway here are some diffs but this doesn't come close to capturing today's disruptions

Looks like DrChrissy doesn't exactly have clean hands here either. I'm counting four reverts at a minimum 1, 2, 3, 4, but they also have eight distinct series of edits in the last 24 hours. It seems DrChrissy was having trouble with slowing down to discuss content and kept adding more content in rather than stop and discuss the weight of the section. This edit stating "You have already accepted and contributed to these edits" seems quite dismissive and a mischaracterization of the concerns brought up on the talk page. Jytdog did violate 3RR here (the first diff is debatable since the next edit was mostly a self-revert of that). However, I tend to look more towards overbearing editors who ignore requests to figure out a problem on the talk page and keep blazing forward with edits instead as the dominate source of disruption in such cases. There's a myriad of edits to consider between the two editors if any action occurs, but page protection would be helpful here either way. Kingofaces43 (talk) 01:13, 2 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Recommend arbcom level sanctions implementing 1RR for all GMO-related articles. I also recommend long blocks for Jytdog and Kingofaces43 for disruptively feuding in this topic area for several years. Viriditas (talk) 01:19, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Strange comment considering there is no edit warring on my part here. This is part of the general toxicity though in the topic that needs to be locked down that an eventual ArbCom maybe would give some tools to deal with. Kingofaces43 (talk) 01:46, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Your concurrent edit warring in the GMO topic area was documented by multiple users here. I have refrained from addressing your battlefield attitude and tag-team behavior because the evidence against you is already damning. Viriditas (talk) 02:02, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Yup, this is not the place to pursue your personal vendetta against me. In this section, the evidence shows I was not edit warring, and the other section shows a rather more complex case than what you portray. I'm not going to engage you further here and have asked you to voluntarily refrain from following me around. Kingofaces43 (talk) 02:16, 2 September 2015 (UTC)


 * V, Arbcom will not touch this, until it has been through DR, thoroughly. There has not even been at ANI yet with regard to the current wave of unrest at the article.  I have thought about it but have not gone there yet; at this point ANI would just turn into an unproductive dramafest.  We need to really try to work things out at the article Talk page; folks need to show restraint as this is a controversial topic. Jytdog (talk) 02:18, 2 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Kingofaces, you may continue to deny that you were edit warring and disrupting the GMO topic area, but the link I provided up above shows otherwise. I'm sorry that you feel that contradictory information is a "personal vendetta".  It sounds like you and Jytdog are heavily and personally invested in the GMO topic area and that might explain why your names keep coming up on this board and other places.  It's probably best for Wikipedia if the both of you step away from this area before you are permanently removed from it by community sanction.  Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 02:26, 2 September 2015 (UTC)


 * I fully endorse Viriditas' statement, and found my way here via Viriditas' Talk page, where Kingofaces went to, in my view, attempt to intimidate Viriditas. I have warned Kingofaces and Jytdog on article talk pages regarding their editing, but it is becoming clear that community sanctions are indeed likely for the tendentious tag-teaming they repeatedly indulge in.

 * Comment I agree with Viriditas, and if Jytdog mentions me here he should ping me at least. I see that Jytdog continues to engage in edit warring and with making up claims. Apparently page protecting is not ending the OWN and EW behavior by this editor. prokaryotes (talk) 04:36, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * OP response to Jytdog


 * Jytdog's accusation of me edit warring or violating 3RR is misleading to say the least.
 * The first two diffs Jytdog presented attempting to indicate edit warring he admits himself are simply WP:BOLD. Whether they are "reckless" is purely his opinion, but even that is not "warring".
 * The first diff Jytdog presented shows that all I did was add non-contentious material using a reliable source that was already used in the article. I also moved a section unchanged because it was clearly in the incorrect place.
 * The second diff Jytdog presented shows I again expanded the article using the same RS as before, and 2 new RS.
 * The fifth diff Jytdog presented again shows a perfectly valid expansion of the material. He complains above this was "expanding yet more after objections already raised on talk".  One of the objections raised on the Talk page was the environmental relevance of the doses in the studies made at 17.02h. At 17:59h, I introduced this new material complained about by Jytdog, specifically to address the other editor's concern.
 * Furthermore, Jytdog complained above that I added the sentence "'In a study of rats and mice fed diets of containing 0%, 0.3125%, 0.625%, 1.25%, 2.5%, or 5.0% glyphosate for 13 weeks, endocrine effects...". The material was actually added to the article on March 3rd, 2014 here.  I moved the material here with very minor tweaks as this material had clearly been deemed acceptable for a considerable time. Jytdog complained about this sentence here at 15.38h.  At 16:00h, I rewrote the sentence with the edit summary "Conciseness as per talk".
 * In short, rather than edit warring, I have been editing in a demonstrably collegiate manner. With regard to 3RR, Jytdog has presented only 2 edits of mine that might contribute to that.

 * OP comment on comment by User:Kingofaces43
 * More dirty tricks? Kingofaces43 states here, with an ES that raises the question of whether I should receive a boomerang, that I made at least four reverts and then provides four diffs.  The first two of these are the same diff!  I know we are supposed to AGF, but this is getting more and more difficult to maintain.  Perhaps the closing admin would like to consider further action against Kingofaces43 for misleading the community. DrChrissy (talk) 14:33, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * With the copy paste typo (the correct diff is now included), anyone not engaging in a toxic attitude would expect a duplicate diff to be intended for a separate one instead of some "dirty trick". Common sense is required here. Please stop raising drama instead of attempting to lower it. We have enough at the related pages already, and I've mentioned your human medicine topic ban because it demonstrates a history of these kinds of problems (including edit warring) now shifting to other areas. The diff that was missed was a revert because you were asked to stop adding pieces of content to the section and asked to come to the talk page in order to figure out weight issues. You instead went ahead and kept adding chunks. The diff is a clear sign that the spirit of 3RR was violated at that point, especially since small chunks were added at a time that ran up other editor's revert counts as you kept adding. That's really beside the point now as the page is protected, so I'm just clarifying now. I'm done with this particular section. Kingofaces43 (talk) 22:05, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry but I really do not follow what you are suggesting at the beginning of this post. If you want to post diffs that I reverted more than 3 times, I would expect to see 4 different diffs.  Anyway, I see that you are withdrawing from the discussion, so thank you for your input. DrChrissy (talk) 22:27, 2 September 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm saying this to everyone here, and not specifically directing it at anyone. Enough already. The page has been protected. That's all that is going to happen here. Talking about how horrible other editors are is not going to result in any administrative action. But it will reflect badly on the editors doing the complaining, when (as appears increasingly probable) the GMO issue ends up at ArbCom. --Tryptofish (talk) 20:58, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry Trypto, but I have to respectfully disagree. Something simply must happen here.  Even Kingofaces43 agrees that Jytdog has broken WP:3RR. Jytdog can not be allowed to edit war and violate 3RR with impunity.  Action must be taken here or we are sending out completely the wrong message to the community.

 * You are asking for something to happen here, that will not happen here. If you want, you can go to ANI, but the question of you following Jytdog around will also be raised there. I made that comment because I like a lot of the editors on both sides of this content dispute, and I see this ending badly for editors on both sides of this content dispute. My sincere advice: WP:STICK. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:25, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * But why will something not happen here? WP:3RR is described as "A bright-line rule" which is a "clearly defined rule or standard, composed of objective factors, which leaves little or no room for varying interpretation."  Jytdog has stepped over that bright-line and must be held accountable.  Why should we all follow the rules but not him? DrChrissy (talk) 21:33, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * To clarify since my name was mentioned, if there was a lopsided one person at fault, I'd be suggest a block, but I'm seeing two editors edit warring with one engaging in more significant behavior problems as described above. That makes individual decisions difficult when we’ve had mostly involved editors arguing here so much already. While I do think behavior related to edit warring should be addressed at this board more than just protecting the page, I’m sure those uninvolved watching this page are tired of this constant drama to pursue more action. Page protection is the simplest solution right now, and I’m fine with that. Kingofaces43 (talk) 22:05, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I am amazed that such an experienced editor as yourself would agree that another editor has breached 3RR and then say "protect the page and I am fine with that". Jytdog stepped over the line and simply must be held accountable for that.  If not, what is the purpose of this noticeboard? DrChrissy (talk) 22:21, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

OP note to closing admin
 * When I raised this thread, I envisaged it would be a fairly simple count of whether a number of Jytdog's edits violated WP:3RR. This seems absolutely clear to me. However, it appears that editors from many directions are causing these waters to become muddy. I seek closure here, not endless discussion of edit histories.  Perhaps the most defining posting is Kingofaces43 clear statement here that Jytdog violated 3RR.  I do not wish to cause unnecessary work for already over-worked admins and I therefore suggest the following.  I will be happy if only evidence/diffs in this thread are considered - there is no need to go back and check through Jytdog's extensive editing history.  However, at the end of considerations, please can the community have closure on this.  I believe the usual sanction for a first-time 3RR violation is a 24-hr ban.  I will obviously leave any sanctions up to the opinion of the closing admin, but if they feel that all that is necessary at this stage is a clear, formal warning to Jytdog about their behaviour, I will be satisfied by this. DrChrissy (talk) 23:22, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Dr Chrissy asks valid questions. Are some editors here considered untouchable? If one has the right friends who show up to noticeboards, it seems they can easily evade blocks and other actions that a less "popular" or active user, or one less skilled in the battle of words and diffs that constitute our justice system, would receive without delay. If anyone is to be blocked for 3RR, then Jytdog cannot be excluded - but if he is, there should be justification given. I'd like to think that we are equal and subject to the same rules, regardless of how powerful, numerous or aggressive  our allies may be. These noticeboards are to look at behaviour and weigh it against PAGs. The 3RR guideline is not murky. Page protection was a good move, but in no way addresses edit warring, and I'm dumbfounded as to why editors above  indicate otherwise..   petrarchan47  คุ  ก   04:13, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I hesitate to step back in here, but... When I was a relatively new editor, I was in a content dispute (at an animal rights-related page) with another editor (now long-retired from Wikipedia). That other editor violated 3RR. Unambiguously. I reported them here. A very sensible admin closed it with no action, and told both of us to go back to the talk page and work it out. No block. And the admin was right. And that was a more clear-cut case than what we have here, where editors on both sides of the dispute here have less-than-clean hands. --Tryptofish (talk) 20:21, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that Trypto. Please note I have indicated above that as the OP, I would be satisfied with the simplest of actions - a simple warning. The OP here is only one of many similar complaints that could have been raised in recent weeks by several other editors - Jytdog's behaviour has become extremely disruptive out there.

For example, here is a diff showing the most recent change that Jimmy Aneja has made to the article:  But just one change is not an edit war.  Has he been doing this a lot?
 * Usually, you demonstrate that someone has been edit warring by showing that they broke WP:3RR, the three revert rule. That means making the same change more than three times within any twenty-four-hour period.  It also helps if you can show that you tried to work this out on the talk page and they kept it up anyway.  ...but from what I see on the talk page, Jimmy might not be the problem.

 * Comment Wow. Can't say that DeS doesn't do the work of running down sources.  The key problem here seems to be a disagreement over what does and doesn't constitute suitably notable information. (Maybe the tattoos aren't notable, but maybe the Sikh riots are.) If the three or four of you could agree on some kind of litmus test, that might solve the problem. "Did it affect the wider culture and not just Grover?" "Has it appeared in either three fan-catering RS or at least one mainstream RS?" "Are there at least two other articles on subjects of similar notability that include a paragraph on this topic?" It would at least save you the trouble of arguing every point.  But that's the underlying conflict, and this complaint is about edit wars: I've looked at the links offered here and yes, I'd say this user has violated 3RR.  Although there's some mix-and-match to what was reverted when, the paragraph on religion has been re-inserted at least three times, and date of birth has been re-inserted at least three times.
 * However, the content that they want to insert is things like the subject's date of birth, views on religion and the way he was affected by public riots. At least some of this stuff should stay in.  Or did I miss something?  I didn't click on every single source.  Are they not RS?
 * This user's history goes back only to 2014. Have an admin give the noob a talking-to about the Wikipedia-acceptable way to get disputed content into an article: how to build consensus,show content to be notable, use the NPOV noticeboard and run an RfC and see if it takes.

User being reported:

Previous version reverted to: It's not just one; see detailed report below. I realize everyone hates style disputes, but this is a behavioral matter in a content dispute on a style topic, across WP:POLICY pages, talkspace, articles, and even multiple projects. This latest round is part of a 6+ year advocacy/soapbox/great wrongs campaign by the user to get rid of logical quotation (LQ) on Wikipedia, by deleting its mention entirely or by equating it to British quotation style (falsely - see sources at the RfC which DF is disrupting) so DF can try to convince people it's a WP:ENGVAR matter. User ignores all sourcing they don't agree with, and has started deleting sources from related articles, and inserting PoV self-published stuff in their place.

Diffs of the user's reverts [and other disruption]:

Update: The editor has resumed revert-warring and their WP:IDHT firehose again, despite this ANEW report being open.
 * 03:24, 5 September 2015: Reversion of me rescinding  and archiving  my own RfC (because Darkfrog24 editwarred [see below] to trainwreck it by hiding the Comments section under a text-wall regurgitating all their already-disproven nonsense). The whole "RfC" consists of DF24 recycling the same noise over and over again in a IDHT pattern, and me trying in good faith to respond to it to no result but more IDHT. DF24 has now resumed the constant stream of irrational blathering:, , ,  ...  Virtually every word of it is a distortion, fiction, evasion, projection, or rehash. There's a series of 7 more new such posts at Talk:Quotation marks in English, one of which blatantly lies twice in the same post about what I said. This has to stop.
 * 02:28, 5 September 2015: Refuses to acknowledge dispute (multiple editors raised policy-based objections to DK24's UNDUE/POV/SPS addition to Quotation marks in English, as detailed below), and DF24 (in same diff) accuses one of bad faith for having objected. It's clear that this editor is going to WP:OWN all of these pages or die trying.

The disruption is happening at such a fast clip I can't keep up any more (and had to stop trying to undo it, or I'd be 3RR myself), so I apologize if this is missing a diff it should have. These are in newest to oldest order:


 * 20:38, 4 September 2015: At Quotation marks in English, reverted my inline RS tag (without resolving the dispute, just asserting without demonstrating the author is exempt from WP:SPS).
 * 17:00, 4 September 2015: At same article, reverted my inline dispute tag without doing anything to resolve the dispute, just engaging in more IDHT and OR; in same edit, deleted a reliable and properly cited source at  (cite of neutral article about logical quotation by a language professor and well-known writer on English language usage, that was used for multiple citations in the article, which DF broke by doing so), and replaced it with an anti-LQ rant from someone's "Daily Writing Tips" blog. Classic WP:UNDUE and WP:POV. This should be reverted, but I don't want to do it myself, lest I be seen as editwarring, too.


 * 16:42, 4 September 2015: At WT:MOS, trying to hijack and disrupt the RfC I opened, by inserting a huge new subtopic between the RfC and its comments section, making it unlikely anyone would comment (and the insertion consisted almost entirely of rehash that's been addressed numerous times in the last three days) . DF then inserted into the RfC itself a contrary opinion  (the same factually incorrect WP:OR and WP:POV that the editor has been relentlessly pushing against all facts, sources and reason during this editwarring spree, and for many years more tendentiously . I moved this to the Discussion section of the RfC.  . Darkfrog24 editwarred to put it back where it was improperly inserted . I would have to violate WP:3RR to fix it myself, and request that this be administratively fixed quickly, or the RfC will be wrecked.


 * 13:09, 4 September 2015: MOS: Deleted "logical quotation" from MOS:LQ for umpteenth time ; I reverted on the basis of there being no consensus for the deletion, and the rationales provided for it being disproven (as they are in detail on the talk page and in previous discussions over 6+ years); I then attempted a compromise  (one I'd tried before, but which DF also deleted)


 * 23:06, 3 September 2015: Deleted "logical quotation" again ; I reverted on the basis of no consensus to delete, and multiple editors having objected.


 * 13:09, 3 September 2015: Attempted to hijack a clarification proposal I made about logical quotation by changing it to have "British" in it, and making it about DF's own proposal, already being discussed in [WT:MOS#Example sentence for editors unfamiliar with British/logical style|its own thread]. I undid that  but did not touch any of their other edits made in the same session.


 * 13:00, 3 September 2015: Deleted "logical quotation" again ; another editor reverted


 * 13:55, 2 September 2015: Inserted the false claim that logical and British quotation are identical into logical quotation, and reverted me when I fixed it , adding sources that show nothing but that some sources do not distinguish, while the actual distinction has been very well sources, and DF just IDHTs that. I've since then tried a factual compromise version that actually says what the sources support not what DF wishes they did.


 * 23:24, 1 September 2015: Deleted "logical quotation" (and made undiscussed, incautious changes that introduced an error) ; I partially reverted on the basis that there was no consensus for this deletion, and fixed the error, noting what it was.  I then attempted a compromise edit  to address DF's ostensible issue.


 * 22:55, 1 September 2015: Falsely equated British and logical quotation: ; See point #1 at the RfC for sources that it's false. I put it back how it was on the basis of no consensus for injecting such an error, and the fact that DF knows it's factually wrong. DF has known for many years: In 2009, an editor explained the difference between British and logical quotation, DF agreed and wanted MoS to make it clear they were different , someone else chimed in about how different they are , and DF agreed and said they'd found sourcing that said so .  DF now repudiates their agreement and the desire to see MoS be clear on this , but they can't repudiate the fact that they personally sourced that the two styles are different. This is just one of a large number of such discussions on the matter over the last 6+ years, with similar evidence in them, including numerous sources DF repeatedly pretends do not exist or do not say what they say, but I needn't belabor the point.


 * 14:35, 1 September 2015: Deleted "logical quotation", in a series of edits, compressed into one diff here, making a large number of undiscussed changes, and introduced a serious error to one of MoS's guidelines. I very carefully, in a multi-stage edit, undid only the obviously anti-consensus or error-injecting parts, fixed typos in the new material, and left the rest of DF's changes alone; compressed into one diff: . It should be noted that this section of MoS has a big HTML comment in it no one can miss: "EDITORS PLEASE NOTE: Changes to this section may escalate into heated dispute. Please consider raising any proposed changes for discussion and consensus-building on the talk page before editing."

The present issue is both temporary(?)  [3 days running]  conventional editwarring and part of a pattern of very long-term slow editwarring against the consensus for and about logical quotation. This new spate closely mirrors, and looks like the beginning of a new version of, the same editor's 5-year editwar at WT:MOSFAQ.


 * to get rid of or sow confusion about the terms "logical quotation" and "typesetters' quotation", either by hiding them entirely or by editwarring in "British style" and "American style", respectively, to confuse the distinctions and to support the editor's 6-year campaign to undo logical quotation on WP as somehow "anti-American" (despite the fact that British and logical quotation styles have been conclusively proven to be different and that many American publishers use logical quotation, demonstrated repeatedly in years of re-discussion of this issue):
 * and/or to try to paint this as not a matter of well-sourced facts, but just as the opinion that some editors have arrived at:   ,      (note denigration of counter-arguments as "stupid")
 * and has pursued this slow-editwarring tactic relentlessly after multiple editors object, as here:       , including attempts to compromise.
 * Darkfrog24 has even tried to turn MOS's own FAQ into a rallying point for "challenging MOS" to get "satisfaction": and is insistent about it  over objections.

Statement (there are others, I just happened to run across this one) that indicates this is a long-game advocacy campaign: "I most certainly have not abandoned proper American punctuation. ... I am as stout an advocate of American punctuation as ever." 

I have pulled together a lot of other diffs, but these seem the most relevant, and should surely be enough for action to be taken.

Diffs of edit warring warnings:,  , and others included in the sequence above.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: Multiple threads at WT:MOS, etc. WT:MOS is probably a reasonable starting place, It's an RfC proposal to resolve the issues central to the dispute, an RfC the other party immediately began disrupting (and has reverted to keep disrupting, after objections, and disrupted an earlier one yesterday), despite the fact that half the point of the RfC is to come to agreement with this editor (the other, more important, half is to resolve guideline comprehensibility problems reported by another user). Other attempts to compromise with this user are diffed above in the main evidence. I'm not sure anyone would want to read past the now-disrupted RfC back through the miles of Darkfrog24 demanding sources/evidence/reasons, being provided with them, ignoring them, and recycling the same WP:FILIBUSTERing demands. It's all about wearing down opposition to get a WP:WIN. This is a long-term habit with this user, too, which I can show with another set of diffs if needed. There's no resolution to be found with someone behaving this way.

Comments:

Sorry this is long, but it's about an extensive and now worsening pattern). Darkfrog24 is engaging in an ongoing, 3-day pattern of editwarring, RfC disruption, tendentiousness, WP:IDHT, source deletion, and OR/PoV-pushing, disruptive of WP:Manual of Style and other pages, spilling over into mainspace, part of a much longer-term campaign. I've tried in good faith to address every single concern raised by this editor, only to have them re-raised in the same terms over and over and over again as if never addressed before. I've tried to compromise in the actual guideline page wording, the RfC wording, and elsewhere (taking disputes to talk pages, etc.) to make this editor happy, and nothing works.  As far as I can tell there's not quite a 3RR (the reverts move to a different page, then resume after the day boundary has passed), though it's come close (on both sides; ).

While the right-now problem is "fast" editwarring, RfC disruption, and disruptive edits at an article, I demonstrate in the second box of diffs just one example of how long this has been going on, and to what levels of "civil-POV", "slow-editwar" tendentiousness. I'm only diffing the most blatant stuff, not all the IDHT, etc. I'm also not raising civility issues; both of us have been testy, but it's been within limits. I do at this point have to rase a WP:HARASS issue, has DF has trying to mire every post or proposal I make about the topic in circular argument, and no matter what I say or do anywhere about quotation styles, DF is there to revert or disrupt it as soon as possible. This is a WP:OWN problem as well as all the rest.

When I took the early stages of this editwarring to WP:RFPP the other day, the responding admin agreed it was editwarring, but thought that page protection would not help, and suggested that the matter be taken to WP:AE for discretionary sanctions. AE seems a bit heavy handed to me; sometimes they indef people pretty summarily. I wasn't even going to suggest a block, but in the course of writing this, Darkfrog24's behavior has worsened dramatically (RfC disruption, source deletion, etc.).

PS: I didn't even think to look until just now, but the editor's block log consists of blocks for tendentious OWNy behavior at a particular page repeatedly, including both short-term and long-term editwarring, and editwarring when already under the microscope. Same pattern, except this time it's spread topically to multiple pages. The conditions that were applied in the unblock for the long-term editwarring seem to have been effective in that case. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  07:10, 5 September 2015 (UTC)


 * SMcCandlish says "disruption" when he really means "disagrees with me." He's done this before.
 * I'll try to keep this simple:


 * No I wasn't edit warring. You can see that I was changing my edits to address the concerns raised by other editors.  Example: DrKiernan says that the link was not clear enough because the section to which it linked included American style (not just British).   I change the link and try again:  When SMcCandlish objected to that, I changed the link still further:  Both the substance and the descriptions of my edits demonstrate that I am continually trying to address others' concerns so that we can triangulate our way to a version that we all find acceptable.  That's not edit warring; that's Wikipedia.
 * "Well why not take it to the talk page?" you ask? Well I had a question about a comma and took it to the talk page...Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style  ...and now there are five different threads full of semi-relevant complaints  and the original issue still isn't resolved.  A format that forces SmC to be concise is a format that facilitates progress.
 * SMcCandlish has already started an RfC that I think is supposed to be about this issue. I haven't altered this part of the MoS since he started it.
 * As for disruptions, SMcCandlish tends to confuse disagreeing with him with disruption. You will see that I'm the one trying to avoid disruption:
 * a) When he continually posted digressions complaining about my choice of terminology in other threads, I created a new one so we could keep the issue separate.
 * b) I suggested hatting content that others might not care to read.
 * I absolutely did not introduce false information. According to reliable sources, including some of those that SMC has cited himself, "British" and "logical" are two names for the same system and are often used interchangeably by RS. All of the changes that I have made to the article space and Wikitionary are fully sourced and consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
 * The background here is that a clique of linguistic revisionists at WP:MoS have decided that they like British punctuation more than American and, rather than follow an ENGVAR-based rule allowing both punctuation systems (like we do with spelling), they require British in all articles. Many of them prefer to believe that "British" isn't really British, so ENGVAR should not apply, but this is not borne out in the sources .  I feel that including the alternate name "logical," but  not the common name "British" pushes the POV that British style is somehow better than American.  No evidence has ever been presented that it is.  All this for a rule that's routinely ignored by most Wikieditors, even in featured articles.


 * "Rallying point"? I don't know where he's getting this. The FAQ and MOS: REGISTER both contain neutral and accurate descriptions of WP:LQ and its history.  I've even removed text that presented WP:LQ as more unstable than it really is. Oh, and I wouldn't let SMC used an unsourced term in the FAQ.
 * I would love to get WP:LQ changed, but I am not trying to undermine it. Whenever someone new comes in and challenges or suggests changing the rule (which is often), I say "Yes!" But whenever someone comes in asking how to use it correctly, I say "Here's how."
 * SMcCandlish jumps to IDHT whenever I listen to him very closely but still don't agree with him. For example, a source that he cited directly supported my position and directly contradicted his.  I said "This actually supports my position."  He claims IDHT.  Then I show him exactly which part of the quote I'm talking about and why.  I've given him every opportunity to explain his position further.
 * I will address any other of SMC's specific complaints upon request. Darkfrog24 (talk) 22:40, 4 September 2015 (UTC)


 * All trivially easy to rebut. It's so transparent, and such obvious "do not look at the [person] behind the curtain" handwaving that people probably don't even need to see me answer it.


 * I'll stick with the original numbering:
 * Disproven by the evidence. Playing games like adjusting links to keep re-re-re-re-deleting wording you want to delete against consensus is editwarring. Stating you're trying to address others concerns while persisting in the same single-minded pursuit for 6 years isn't fooling anyone.
 * Given that DF24 keeps repeating the same anti-consensus deletion edits in that section, there wasn't much for them do in that section but violate 3RR, which DF24 WP:GAMEs like a pro. I'd also repeatedly asked DF24 to stop and discuss, so maybe they finally did...at that page. Then moved the editwarring to another page. Whack-a-mole.
 * If it doesn't appear at WP:DE, it's not DE. That's why I have so many diffs demonstrating behavior, instead of coming here to complain about DF24's tone or volume or whatever.
 * a) DF24 keeps injecting their anti-LQ campaign into every quotation-related discussion there, clouding it with FUD. This is a standard technique with DF24: Make false claims or unreasonable demands in each section it can be made in, so others refute it in each place (or maybe give up! I win!), next pretend it wasn't addressed and make the same claims again in each place, so it gets refuted again, etc., and then accuse the other party of textwalling and bringing it up too much. It's transparent gaming. Hand-in hand with the civil-PoV pusher's most worn tool, faux civility implying the other party has emotional problems – Is something wrong?, and I'm trying to address others' concerns, AGF, and Are you OK?, etc.  But "who posted more" is another handwave distraction, a "don't look at me" move. This report about reverts, RfC disruption, WP:IDHT, and PoV/NOR. If anyone wants diffs proving DF24 injected their anti-LQ and/or "LQ = British" dead horses into those discussions first, that's easy enough to provide.
 * b) DF24 started using collapse boxes to shrink conversations I started refusing to respond to their circular bait, and I at least twice verbally observed that others on the page were getting annoyed with the circular rehash. But again, this isn't about too much discussion, it's about editwarring, thwarting consensus processes, ignoring WP:CORE, etc.
 * Editwarring is usually over a content dispute. What else do people editwar about, since what we're editing is content? I think DF24 might be trying imply a bad faith "trying to punish me for disagreeing" motive (after repeatedly claiming I was the one assuming bad faith, natch), but the evidence speaks for itself. DF24's changes are  sourced, they're falsely sourced by WP:CHERRYPICKING and piles upon piles of OR, ignoring or warping, as needed, to suit the desired result.  I can diff you DF24 refusing to go look at past discussion (that they were a part of) for sources provided, pretending that sources do not exist and claiming none have "ever" been provided, rejecting sources as "disputed" because they don't agree with DF24, accusing other editors of being untrustworthy to read sources correctly or without lying, rejecting reliable paper sources because DF24 can't get them right now online, etc., etc.  Just in the last 3 days. Go back through 6 years of this stuff, and you'll see every "I refuse to look or believe" trick there is. I took this to WP:ANEW because the editwarring was the immediate hemorrhage that needed first aid, but the disease is far more serious.
 * The falsehood of "LQ = British" has already been proven, irrefutably. The sources DF24 keeps waving around are sources that don't chose to distinguish between them. The existence of sources that treat them as if identical (because they haven't noticed the difference, because they don't need to get into such details, or whatever) cannot magically made disappear the sources that spell out what the differences are. Arguing and slow-editwarring about this until the end of time will never change the fact that the sources on LQ and the sources on BQ describe different systems, even if some (mostly American) don't talk about it. This is very, very basic reasoning.
 * The "background" story is false. MOS has used logical quotation since its earliest days in 2002. It didn't put that name to it until 2005, but who cares. The idea that "revisionists" with a Rule Britannia agenda showed up and imposed it is ridiculous. It's like believing that moon landings were faked.
 * "Rallying point" and MOSFAQ: The diffs are self-explanatory and can't be handwaved away.
 * Undermining LQ: The diffs are self-explanatory and can't be handwaved away. Even if that weren't the underlying issue, it wouldn't matter, because this report is about editwarring, RfC disruption, WP:CORE violation, WP:IDHT gaming, etc., not the ultimate rationale for them.
 * "SMcCandlish jumps to IDHT whenever I listen to him very closely but still don't agree with him." IDHT has nothing to do with agreement, only with a pattern of denial the arguments have met, that sources have been provided, that a source says what it does, that policies like NOR apply, and other externally verifiable facts. No one sane would say IDHT applies to "not agreeing with someone". It's about a disruptive behavior pattern of denial and projection.

 * I'd rather get to the heart of the matter: DF24's "beliefs" are the problem. Since when is WP based on beliefs? Since when is belief sufficient to ignore sourced facts and pretend that because a source someone likes better doesn't mention the fact, that the fact does not exist in reality and that all other sources about it don't exist, are wrong, or &gt;fzzzt!&lt; say the opposite of what they say? The editor will not accept any evidence or sources that don't support their personal view/agenda, and uses out-of-their-own-head WP:SYNTH to bend all sources to an interpretation (however unsupportable, often contradicting the plain wording on the page) that supports DF24's unshakable conviction. And that is, as it's quite frequently stated by DF24, that LQ is in American English articles. It  British, you see, no matter what any source says. When "MoS doesn't use American-style quoting" is your WP:GREATWRONG to right, it becomes impossible to admit that there are multiple quotation styles that are not geographically tied somehow, so you can get your American newspaper style eventually if you just never give up until everyone else quits. We could come back probably 20 years from now, and DF24 would still be fighting this fight. Almost hilariously, this isn't even about conflicting facts, it's just refusal to accept it and move on. In this particular round of tendentiousness, it's been the insistence that because some sources do not distinguish between British and logical quotation that they  be, no matter what, two names for the exact same thing. I fully accept DF24's source (that the editor did not reinterpret on the fly to say something they don't); they simply show that some sources don't draw the distinction that other do, not that the distinction has not been drawn and doesn't exist. There can be, in DF24's view, only American and British style, sources be damned. No amount of RS are enough for this editor, including the very style guides DF24 demanded be cited (never mind that MoS is not an article), which (woops!) demonstrate the facts of the distinction between LQ and British, are enough for this editor. Why? Because someone somewhere didn't also mention a distinction and lumped them both together under the name "British". It's mindboggling. By this reasoning, an observation that some sources call all felines "cats" as a shorthand means that in reality there is no difference at all between a house cat and a lion, no matter how many sources exist detailing the different characteristics of each.  Obviously no one can really believe such poor logic.  The now inevitable WP:SPADE assumption is it's just gaming, to tire out the opposition until DF24 gets what they want. The diff-stack of what DF24 did to WP:MOSFAQ is incontrovertible proof that this technique is being used, and when pursued for long enough, will prevail by eventual attrition. Until the editor is stopped by sanctions. (And it doesn't require any assumption of bad faith, either. I'm sure that in DF24's mind it really is an absolutely crucial thing for WP to have American-English articles use "American" quotation style. Never mind that it's not really American, it's just common in the US, and used plenty of other places, even British fiction).  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  00:54, 5 September 2015 (UTC)


 * SMcCandlish thinks that the sources are wrong and he is right, and he doesn't understand why I don't prefer his opinion to RS.
 * Pretty much everything SMcCandlish is saying about me us either entirely untrue or so grossly exaggerated that it might as well be. I'll address any one of his points upon any uninvolved editor's request.
 * Editors JG66 and Curly Turkey were present for many of these conversations. Here is what JG66 thought of the matter:  Darkfrog24 (talk) 02:47, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
 * More fabrication and "not me". I've never challenged a single source mentioned in this debate on any page (other than the WP:SPS DF24 added to the article a few hours ago), only DF24's misuse of them. This is pure projection of DF24's own actions onto me. Yes, JG66 was annoyed with me trying to respond to all of DF24's rehash, and me getting testy about it in the process; I'm sure to any outside observer it looked like a slow-motion faceplant, and I should not have taken the bait. That's why I started refusing to respond to DF's circular posts. Curly Turkey and I have history (though not all that long), and he was involved in one of the discussions DF24 derailed by injecting confusion and falsehoods about LQ and BQ; we were making progress despite previously ruffled feathers, and both of the proposals I started were attempts to resolve the issues he had reported (and to address DF24's concern, to they extent they could be addressed), but DF24 hosed the RfC [diffed above], and implemented their own proposal without consensus while theirs  and mine  were still under discussion. Rather than revert or even object I merged them into an RfC to seek compromise and community consensus . Evil and bad, I know.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  07:10, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
 * SmC, reverting one change on a talk page for a good reason isn't edit warring. I returned the thread containing your proposal, which you had archived early, to the talk page because you've cited it here and complained about the posts I made in it.  Let the respondents to this AN/I filing look at it.  You can archive it when this is done.
 * Again: rebuttal on request. I'll be checking in but please ping me just in case. Darkfrog24 (talk) 11:27, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

If there's edit-warring and IDHT behaviour here, it certainly is on SMcC's part at least as much as on Darkfrog's part. There's also incivility and personal attacks now. I'm considering imposing a two-month topic ban from WP:MOS on SMcC under discretionary sanctions, possibly on the other party too. Fut.Perf. ☼ 22:46, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I'd only ask that you look at the threads carefully before doing so; read the posts in the context of what was said in response to what rather than in the context of the descriptions given next to the link in this filing. I think you'll find my actions reasonable. Darkfrog24 (talk) 02:28, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I have topic-banned User:SMcCandlish for two months under DS procedures, as this filing and related discussions display recurrent issues of battleground attitude over style issues. Darkfrog24 has been warned but couldn't be sanctioned under DS for lack of prior alert. The present filing on this board with its jumbled and long-winded assertions doesn't allow me to assess whether Darkfrog's own edit-warring rises to the level where a standard block for edit-warring would be indicated; in any case, they are strongly advised to walk away from the issue. Fut.Perf. ☼ 12:06, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Well if you want a short way of looking at it: 1) SmC thinks I was edit warring. 2) I don't think I was edit warring. 3) After SmC started a proposal thread on the talk page about the thing I was/wasn't edit warring over, I made no further changes to the article, warlike or otherwise.

Editing warring on male rape (Result: protected)
Tsbarracks has made three edits to the entry on male rape in the last 24 hours, all of which either remove or substantially modify a well-source statement that female-on-male rape is rare. There is an ongoing discussion on the talk page over the appropriate remedy, but it seems like the original statement should be left alone in the mean time.

Both should be blocked or this section closed pending the AN/I sections close. I requested page protection, and it was protected for 2 days, so the drama is over for now.

 * Comment In this dif I've added a study, after a talk page discussion didn't gave any reason why not to. Jytdog himself added this very study last year after a talk page discussion. Then he begins to revert, and on revert No3 replies at talk page and claims the study has nothing to do with the article (Jytdog: Adding a much later publication by someone else, about something else, is not relevant to the Seralini affair). I made 3 reverts, so did he. I think that editor Jytdog may be trying to retaliate in response for reporting him at ANI. Also he made a 3RR last week, which he withdraw. He also tries hard to remove content i added, here, in addition to an AfD, and manual removal of legit content by editor Jytdog. And this guy seems to be in a very bad mood, here he pisses of another editor, after that editor tried to be cooperative. Here he wrote, Your mischaracterization of what I wrote and of MEDRS is malicious, incompetent, or both., though he apologized for that, but these are just examples from the last few hours. This editor is continuously disruptive and in a very unfriendly way.prokaryotes (talk) 20:22, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

What is new?  Prokaryotes' interest in these articles and their hot editing.   They don't even finish discussing one thing before they move to the next.   This is very clear. Jytdog (talk) 21:36, 6 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Jytdog now claims he does not understand me In this recent edit, Jytdog added a claim that he or others do not understand me on the talk page here. However, the difs and responses from me there are very clear, i even repeated them. This seems to be a very poor and desperate attempt by Jytdog to again disrupt edits and to undermine the consensus finding process.prokaryotes (talk) 22:04, 6 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Here is what I mean by the disruption that Prokaryotes aggressive editing is causing, just here at EWN:
 * Aug 28 EWN on Genetically modified food
 * Aug 31 EWN at Genetically modified organism
 * Sept 4 EWN at Seralini affair

User:Martin IIIa seems to believe that there should be a page for the video game "Shockwave Assault" and not "Shock Wave" — even though the latter is the original title of the game, and the former is a compilation of the game plus an expansion.

Yobol apparently confuses reverts with unique edits. If you look at the edit history you can see that he reverts my edits seconds after i made them, i wasn't even aware while editing that he was interfering. Additional, he begun removing content, which had been part of the article for month, and added artefacts. Now editor Jytdog steps in and removes all edits from me and Tornheim. Both editors have a history of edit warring over this and similar articles, i.e. Yobol here.

The editor reverts/removes content seconds after my edits. My edits were for the most part readditions from editor David Tornheim.

 * @AlbinoFerret: You need to review your diffs again. Your 2nd diff is me reverting myself. Self-reverts don't count towards 3RR.
 * @prokaryotes: Your first diff is not a revert, it is WP:BOLD removal of content added in 2013. As far as I can tell, it has been present in some form in every version of this article since then, and well before you came to this page. It's probably best if you take time to be accurate and avoid such mistakes in the future. Yobol (talk) 20:20, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Strange, the only mistake i can spot here are your accusations, for instance your claim that i was blocked, and you made 4 reverts which count as a violation. You interfere with other editors, your edits are disruptive and most importantly, not neutral. Something which you have in common with editor Jytdog. prokaryotes (talk) 20:26, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Your block log indicates you have been blocked before for edit warring. Yobol (talk) 20:36, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
 * @Yobol, even if you are given a pass on the second revert. You still continued to revert after going to the talk page. Instead of discussing you went back to edit war after going to the talk page. The 3RR does not have to be broken to engage in edit warring. AlbinoFerret  21:28, 4 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Univolved IP editors perspective: Yobol made a legitimate WP:BOLD edit and removed content added in 2013 (there was the B in BRD), then user Prokaryotes legitimately reverted that bold change (the R in BRD). At that point, the next step would be to discuss at the talk page (the D in BRD), but instead it seems that Yobol reverted Prokaryotes to restore his/her Bold edit again? In my view, there should not have been another Revert by Yobol after the original B and R had occurred, that made it BRR and started the edit war. There seems to be an extensive, recent history between these two editors and they should be strictly held to WP:BRD when editing the same articles. In this case it seems that Yobol started the edit war by breaking the WP:BRD cycle, however Prokaryotes seems to have broken 3RR first between the two. 108.181.201.237 (talk) 20:44, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
 * @IP: Thank you for your comment. You should probably read the history of the article again, I have only made the bold edit once. I did not revert prokaryotes' revert of my bold edit, and did not break the BRD cycle in this instance regarding that specific material. I should also note that the only person involved here that has broken 3RR is prokaryotes. Yobol (talk) 20:48, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Again you make a false claim, Diff No 4 is not a revert, its me editing the page, per talk - an attempt to make the article fit per NPOV, which you disrupted. prokaryotes (talk) 21:07, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
 * You appear to be correct about the 4th diff not being a revert, my apologies. Struck the 4th revert above. Suggest protection of the page as it appears no one has broken 3RR. Yobol (talk) 21:18, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Yobol, I have reviewed the edit history for todays edits again per your request. I see it this way:
 * The B in BRD, Yobol boldly removes longstanding text: ; then Yobol restores some of the text in a new location:
 * The R in BRD, Prokaryotes restores original version before Yobols edits:
 * The edit war starts, This should have been where discussion started and editing this text stopped! However, Yobol instead restores their version:
 * There is no need to look further, the edit war has now started. I will stick to my original analysis, that Yobol broke WP:BRD and started the edit war, but Prokaryotes seems to have hit 3RR first. The whole thing could have been avoided by sticking to WP:BRD.108.181.201.237 (talk) 21:13, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks again for your comments, IP. You are, of course, correct that my behavior has been suboptimal and agree that if everyone, including prokaryotes, agrees to BRD we would avoid situations like this. Yobol (talk) 21:18, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Do note that BRD is an essay, not a policy or even a guideline. "Broke BRD" is a meaningless phrase. BRD is a process that works well for most editors in most situations. Not all of them. It's good that Yobol says they'll use this process, but it's not, and not using it isn't grounds for punishment (nor is using it grounds for exoneration; there are ways to disruptively game BRD); it's basically not all that relevant to whether editwarring is happening, other than in that it may slow the editwarring.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  23:10, 5 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Yobol follows me now to other article and reverts my edit there, and ignores talk page discussion arguments. At the article we discuss here, Yobol removes long standing content, but on the other article he followed me, reads long standing content, (edit sum = restore long standing consensus; this wording has been in the article since 2010, per talk page. Time for RfC). Notice that "per talk page", he refers to his own comment. RfC with these editors basically means weeks of stalling discussion(example).prokaryotes (talk) 21:57, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I've had most of the suite of GMO articles on my watchlist since I responded to an RfC on the topic earlier this year, no "following" needed as your edits popped up on my watchlist. Yobol (talk) 22:03, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
 * "Following" in this context means pointedly reverting or otherwise interfering with another editor's activities in particular; it doesn't literally mean studying their contributions list. I opine neither in support nor confirmation of you "following", I just note that the pages being on your watch list wouldn't disprove following, if your edits really are targeted in a pattern at Prokaryotes. But following isn't automatically harassment or anything like it; if a user is doing something inappropriate on multiple pages, they're apt to be followed (and in fact to actually have their contribs tracked). As with the BRD point above, this basically doesn't relate very strongly to an editwarring case, unless the edits really are focused against one editor, and the focus is inappropriate. A couple of diffs don't prove this, and as Prok. indicates, the nature of the two edits were different (not in a pattern). "See talk" means "see talk", it doesn't mean "there is an RfC that concluded in a consensus there"; it might simply mean "edit summaries are short, and my rationale can be found on the talk page". So, basically, neither editor is raising anything relevant in this exchange.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  08:21, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
 * After striking one of the four diffs originally provided as "evidence" and an admission by User:Yobol that he has behaved sub-optimally, it appears User:Yobol's accusation of Prokaryotes breaching 3RR is demonstrably completely without foundation. Surely we are in boomerang territory here. DrChrissy (talk) 22:13, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Like what? I'd support a mild admonition/warning, but don't see much justification for anything else, esp. after Prok.'s not-well-supported insinuation of hounding. Everyone can make mistakes, and it is not necessary to be punitive toward editors who make them; blocks in particular are used preventatively, not punitively.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  08:21, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Mztourist, the validity of Hanoi's numbers is NOT the issue here. The 2 million figure from Hanoi is basically in line with recent scholarship, unlike some of the other figures cited in the article. Furthermore the thrust of Hanoi's supposed POV is uncertain, and there is no evidence that they had a political incentive to inflate the figures AFTER normalization of relations with the US. The issue is whether or not Hanoi has ever estimated 4 million civilian deaths. I've only seen this reported by the BBC, so it may just be an error.

He was banned 3 days ago from the IP: for repeated vandalism without taking importance of my notifications, as I've warned him various times. This time happens the same; he came, vandalised the same articles, and only reverting my changes because he wants, without discussing nothing, without reason, nothing.

All my changes are made by trustful sources and he modifies the normal aspect of the article only because he does not like it. He kept reverting and making changes,his last 4 changes are: 1 2 3 and 4. This user keeps reverting useful/trustful changes acusing me of "vandalism" while puts stale information or information without any sources. Also, it keeps reverting and changing articles without discussing on the talk page.

This article is subject to 1RR and a prominent warning appears when one tries to edit it, (text is here). For an early history showing Mann jess inserted denial in this article and reverted 12 editors who didn't go along with that, including 4 reverts in one day, see here. Mann jess has started WP:AE actions against other editors three times so we're not looking at an innocent. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 23:59, 7 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Ah, right. I forgot it was under 1RR. I won't revert again. It would have been nice to have been warned, or for discussion to have taken place regarding this change before jumping right to a report. On top of that, Pete, you restored a version of the article which was strongly opposed in a recent RfC. I'm not sure why you did that right after a brand new editor except to game a 1rr restriction. Discussion is taking place on the talk page. It would be best if we could leave the article in its stable state until new consensus forms. Thanks.  &mdash; Jess &middot; &Delta;&hearts; 00:11, 8 September 2015 (UTC)


 * On further inspection, it appears the article is not under 1rr. The edit notice was placed on the article in 2010, but there is no active 1rr sanction logged that I can find. WP:GS#Active Sanctions doesn't mention 1rr, nor does the obsolete WP:GS/CC, and I see nothing in WP:ARBCC. It is under discretionary sanctions, of course, but it appears the edit notice is out of date. Please correct me if I'm wrong.  &mdash; Jess &middot; &Delta;&hearts; 00:20, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

This would be worth clarifying. My impression is that the climate change probation of 2010 has been superseded by the remedies imposed in WP:ARBCC. Maybe worth asking at WP:ARCA. Of course 1RR is generally a good idea even if it's not formally imposed.Short Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 02:41, 8 September 2015 (UTC)


 * The gleefulness with which Peter Gulutzan seemed to adopt the position of the newly arrived account seems like he is trying to bait enforcement action against Mass Jess. His transparent collusion to this effect on his user talk page is worth considering. As he tries to push climate change denial positions, it becomes increasingly difficult to assume good faith about his activities here. jps (talk) 10:22, 8 September 2015 (UTC)


 * I assume an administrator will confirm or refute Short Brigade Harvester Boris's impression, and I assume that once again jps will get away with making comments like those above. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 14:19, 8 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Don't like being called out for pushing climate change denial? Maybe you should stop pushing climate change denial, then. jps (talk) 17:18, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

I found this section interesting, but have no thoughts on the actions. Clicking on the link in the 1RR template brings up where they are logged. It appears they are probably superseded by WP:ARBCC remedies, but thats something an admin will have to determine. AlbinoFerret 17:27, 8 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Peter Gulutzan is well known as a climate change denial apologist editor. Mann.jess is equally well known as a patient defender of climate-related articles against POV-pushing. That really is all you need to know. Guy (Help!) 17:38, 8 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Ah, there it is! Thanks AlbinoFerret. Yes, it appears the last log on that page was in 2010. According to the header of every page at WP:GS/CC, those general sanctions are no longer active, and according to WP:GS, they are "Superseded by WP:ARBCC". It looks like the edit notice on Watts Up With That was just never updated, so we should probably fix that.  &mdash; Jess &middot; &Delta;&hearts; 19:47, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Your welcome, I wondered where it was and know nothing really disappears on WP. Assuming good faith, its likely that you missed this small template sandwiched in the rest. I am sure you will be double checking in the future to make sure of anything like this, Even if its old, its better to deal with removing it first to avoid sections like this one on drama boards.

 * Comment, both editors are engaged in an edit war, although Samak has not attempted to engage even through the edit summary. While there is a source, that source does not talk about the language spoken. I'm not conversant enough in that area to voice an opinion on the veracity of the source, one way or another, but neither editor has engaged in a discussion on the talk page. I've reverted the contested addition, and ask both editors to discuss on talk page until a consensus is reached. I would agree with Samak if the source actually said that Azeri Turkish was one of the main languages, but it doesn't. An admin has placed the article on protection for 3 days, but that doesn't alleviate the issue of whether this language should be added to the infobox. Per BRD, it's contested, and therefore should be discussed. I they take it to the talk page and attempt to reach consensus, then probably no action need be taken.

 * Comment I would take 1,2,and 3 as one single revert, if I was being charitable. I am more concerned about Praetorian Fury's comments that "the source does not mention Davis" when it clearly does.  "The highest staff wage in 2011 – $63,113 – was paid to Bailey’s chief deputy clerk, Kim Davis, who also happens to be her daughter. Davis is listed at $24.91 hourly for a 40-hour work week and an annual wage of $51,812. She received an additional $11,301 in overtime and other compensation during 2011. Her rate of pay apparently triggered most of the complaints, The Morehead News has learned from various sources."  I am minded to block for this, but I would be interested to see what other admins think.  Praetorian Fury, you may want to revert your latest edit, unless you can pinpoint the "OR" that is present on the page. Black Kite (talk) 18:47, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I was mistaken about her not being mentioned. I overlooked the paging at the bottom.  The point about the article being from 2011 and entirely unrelated to the event for which Davis is known, stands.  The article is about her mom, but it's used to defame Davis. That's what makes it WP:OR. PraetorianFury (talk) 18:51, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, no ... defamation is a false statement of fact. If the source is correct that citizens complained about Davis's salary, which there is no reason to think is not true, then the statement is not defamation. Your only defence here might be WP:UNDUE. Can I suggest that you self-revert your last edit, though?  I'd rather sort this out without blocking anyone. Black Kite (talk) 18:56, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Defame - damage the good reputation of (someone); cast aspersions on; give someone a bad name; run down; speak ill of;
 * And a warning template says that the content is disputed, does it not? I don't need consensus to include a warning template. But fine, I've self reverted, as you've requested, and instead added a more relevant tag I found earlier this morning. That the content is irrelevant to the issue for which she is known. PraetorianFury (talk) 19:22, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
 * No. In law, proving that a statement is true is always a successful defence to a charge of defamation. Meanwhile, you do need consensus to include a warning template.  Your original research template was clearly disputed; the current tag is better. Black Kite (talk) 19:27, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Because you have to explain why you've applied the template, and that reason has to be valid. In this case, the OR template was not valid, because the disputed content was sourced.  That's why I said the new template was better; there is certainly a dispute about whether the content is relevant, but not that it is original research. Black Kite (talk) 19:44, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Requiring consensus for a disputed template allows disagreeing editors to simply refuse to acknowledge that there is a dispute or that opposing editors' views have any merit. This stuff happens all the time.  It happened just now.  The content dispute is so bad you protected the page, and yet the warning templates were being deleted.  Do you think the other editors agree that the content is not relevant on the page?  Do you think they would agree that there is a dispute or that my view has any merit?  Would they agree to that template if not for the taboo of deleting it?  You seem to have far more faith in the objectivity of editors than I.
 * You say it's not original research because there is a source. WP:SYNTH has a source for all information on the page.  The implication here is that Davis is an overpaid hypocrite who shouldn't be employed as the clerk.  Trashy news articles have written about it, yes, because they are trashy and will come up with all kinds of ad hominem attacks to give people a reason to dislike Davis, but that doesn't mean Wikipedia needs to include this information and implication.  When we go and dig up a source from 2011 to include on a page created because of one woman's 15 minutes of fame, just so we can include upsetting information like that, that looks like original research to me. PraetorianFury (talk) 20:03, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah, now - that's a different argument. There is no doubt that there is a reliable source stating that there were complaints about Davis's salary, so that's not original research (or, indeed synthesis).  I think what you are trying to say is that the information is WP:UNDUE (i.e. it's not relevant to what Davis is renowned for, and is trying to portray Davis in an unduly bad light), in which case your relevancy template is probably better (although this one might be even closer).

 * Thank you. I have protected the article for 2 days.  I see no point in blocking now the issue is at AE anyway. Black Kite (talk) 19:20, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

User:188.166.8.88 reported by User:HardstyleGB (Result: Block, semi)
He kept reverting and making changes,his last changes of today are: 1 2 3 4 5 and 6 and this last 4 changes from the IP which was banned yesterday were: 1 2 3 and 4 so this is the prove that is the same user again. This user keeps reverting useful/trustful changes acusing me of "vandalism" while puts stale information or information without any sources. Also, it keeps reverting and changing articles without discussing on the talk page. It's a well known user from Malta which made vandalism editions before, another of his elder IPs were (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:78.133.67.226) and (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:78.133.23.197) and every time uses different static IPs to edit articles. Always edits the same kind of articles; which are climate related articles. Update: He is making more vandalize editions: 7 and 8 — Preceding unsigned comment added by HardstyleGB (talk • contribs) 20:14, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Block evasion, banned with 2 different IPs in less than 1 week for continued vandalism. Now uses a public VPN with Netherlands IP. This user is a well known vandal which always modifies the same articles and his location is always from Malta. He was banned yesterday from the IP and 4 days ago from the IP:  for repeated vandalism without taking importance of my notifications, as I've warned him various times. This time happens the same; he came, vandalised the same articles, and only reverting my changes because he wants, without discussing nothing, without reason, nothing. All my changes are made by trustful sources and he modifies the normal aspect of the article only because he does not like it.

Comments: I've also want to ask if the articles Malaga, Ceuta, Valencia and Climate of Malta can be semi-protected some days. Regards! HardstyleGB (talk) 20:07, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

 * This IP editor has reverted at Ken Kesey to take out the phrase 'best known for..' Such removals were the trademark of an IP-hopper who is documented in Long-term abuse/Best known for IP. That editor was also known for his use of South American IPs, like this 201.220.* from Chile. His most recent block was for three months in February, 2015.

 * Two or three busybodies who have admitted that they don't understand a map posted to the article - even after I explained it to them in the talk pages - have seen fit to remove it, even though it is perfectly accurate, up to date, and informative. From my point of view, they are vandalizing the article. Cagwinn (talk) 02:20, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
 * They understand the subject perfectly well. What they said was they didn't understand what the unlabeled colors were supposed to indicate, since they didn't correspond to anything in reality. — kwami (talk) 02:47, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Came here to request a 3RR block. I added links to a couple more reverts above. Six reverts against three editors in ten hours. (I'm sure it would be seven if I engaged again.) The map was removed after discussion, and Cagwinn started edit-warring over it without bothering to refute the objections in the discussion. Continued edit-warring after warnings from two other editors. The discussion, BTW, involved details of how the map was wrong, as well as being unsourced. — kwami (talk) 02:37, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Apart from edit-warring against 3 editors and a consensus of 4 editors against Cagwinn's edit, the two last reverts were done after he posted his response here. He also engaged in WP:CANVASS immediately after posting his response here (per this). DeCausa (talk) 06:50, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
