Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning:

Hist of attempts to resolve dispute on article talk page:

Comments: By way of defense, I'm calling attention to the fact that the user who filed the complaint unilaterally decided to remove extensively referenced content from the entry, and when challenged on his behavior, all he could only vaguely muster in justification was that "Wikipedia guidelines" allow for removal of sourced content. The excuse he gave for one such removal is that one scientific theory defended by the author of one of the articles was widely criticized - but my edits never made reference to THE THEORY, only to the EMPIRICAL findings mentioned by the author, which, by the way, were produced by research teams that have nothing to do with the author (who was only describing the research) or his theory.

I don't also see how I'm guilty of edit warring. I reverted the content removal, and when reverted myself, I reverted back. In my understanding, this is not a violation of 3RR. Rafe87 (talk) 19:02, 7 December 2015 (UTC)


 * You are obviously guilty of WP:Edit warring; read that policy. And WP:3RR is but one portion of WP:Edit warring, and it is clear that "Fourth reverts just outside the 24-hour period may also be taken as evidence of edit-warring, especially if repeated or combined with other edit-warring behavior." and "The rule is not an entitlement to revert a page a specific number of times."


 * This is what the article looked like before the recent cognitive additions and edit warring. Per what is stated at the bottom of Talk:Biology and sexual orientation, I was going to report Rafe87 here, but CFCF beat me to it because I had other matters to attend to in the meantime. Rafe87 has also engaged in WP:Personal attacks at the talk page; see here. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 19:13, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

The term bhakt has religious meaning ahead of political or social media troll terms. So opening of an article can't have a different introduction as per wikipedia policy. Whatever is being mentioned by you and others seems motivated by political vendetta. Please help wikipedia remain free from trolls. As this is even used in facebook by trolls. I just tried improving the article as Bhakta and bhakt have different meaning and that meaning is more about religion rather than poltical. You also never cared discussing on talk page.

New GF editor recently added some new content to the article. For some unfathomable reason, ClueBot took exception to this and reverted it, with warning. I can see no good reason for this. I thus restored it and improved the technical citation of the pre-existing NASA source  (presumably ClueBot didn't recognise the prose citation).

This is a good addition.

Jcflyer58 continued to work on it. Caballero1967 then reverted it, with a further warning. I struck this warning through as incorrect, restored the content and invited Caballlero to comment further.

This addition is sourced. It is part of a two line para, with a cite at the end of the para. We have no reason that each sentence must be individually cited, when the cite at the end of a short para covers it.

Caballero1967 has now reverted this three times, as if it were unsourced. They have issued warnings to all concerned: They have not however discussed the substance of this, why they are reverting continually. If it's "because it's unsourced", that's a failure of WP:CIR. If it's because it's unclear, they could discuss it. They have not done this, they have simply dismissed both other editors as if they were idiots adding unsourced content, "Every addition should be explained and sourced. It is simple".
 * User_talk:Jcflyer58
 * User_talk:Andy_Dingley
 * User_talk:Caballero1967

I don't like this addition. It is too close to "close paraphrasing" of the source and the extent of the claim (as is not unusual for Stirling engine material) is "optimistic" to a point that raises eyebrows (Stirling engines have been "the next big thing" for a long time, yet they still have yet to deliver.). I would like to see this claim toned down and put in NASA's voice, not WP's objective voice. However one thing that is clear about this is that it is sourced content. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:34, 3 December 2015 (UTC)


 * They have now added a citation needed, adjacent to the citation. I think WP:CIR now applies. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:35, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Caballero's argument: Three reverts is the maximum for a day. Thus, there is no war edit. Moreover, they were not reverts to the same editor. One was for Jcflyer58 and two for Andy Dingley.

It seems that Andy Dingley is not assuming good faith in my reverts even when at every instance I mentioned that an explanation or a source was needed for additions to the article. These were my annotations:

1-   In User_talk:Jcflyer58 I left an automated welcoming message that also informed the user about sourcing new additions. It also invited the user to return to the article to include a source in addition to the change (no source was included with the user’s contribution).

2-   [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stirling_engine&oldid=693569805  “Reverted good faith edits by Andy Dingley: If you bring an argument that's new for the article, explain it in the comments sections, justify it in Talk Page or place a reference. How else would we verify it?”]

3-   [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stirling_engine&oldid=693570721  “Reverted good faith edits by Andy Dingley: One more time. Verify, explain, and source. You know how it works, and you know the time it takes to make sure these rules are followed.”]

The changes inserted were not clear about the source. Perhaps the editors working on the article presumed the evidence and sources, but from a patrolling perspective, these changes were not sourced and worse, they were not explained. These were the comments left for the changes:

1-    None

2-    "That thing in the " ") tags? It's called a reference." (note: as explained below, there was no reference  attached to the new contribution or at the end of the new sentence)

3-    "Rv repeated blanking on sourced content."

To the first attempt for input/change without a comment and from a user that had already been warned by a bot, I performed a good faith revert and only asked for a source. There was no source connected with the new addition and, as you saw above, no comment about how this new addition may have linked to whatever sources had been cited already in the paragraph.

To the second attempt for input/change with an unclear comment, I reverted it and, as shown above, explained what was necessary with the addition of new information to the article. I also went to the user’s talk page and explained the reasons for this action.

To the third attempt for input/change with another unclear comment added to an unfair accusation (unfair because blanketing is meant for changes without explanation), I reverted the change and went, for the second time, to the user talk page and re-explained my case. I also went to my user talk page and commented on the issue since the user had tagged me there.

As soon as I noticed that behind the lack of good communication was a group of dedicated editors working on this article, I went back and undid my reverts and placed the citation tag at the end of the new sentence so the contributors would notice where was the issue that provoked the reverts.

As I explained in my annotations, a comment, a Talk Page explanation, or a citation linked directly to the sentence being added should have avoided all of these problems. A critical step was when user: Andy Dingley, instead of merely explaining that this was an addition linked to the sources already cited in the paragraph, chose to write “That thing in the " " tags? It's called a reference.” Not only is this comment vague, but also contains a subtle insult, which cast doubts about the purpose of the reverts.


 * I wish to set a formal complaint about the gratuitous reference to WP:CIR and for the unnecessary reaction to a work that only asked for explanations to changes done to the article. Historiador (talk) 14:14, 3 December 2015 (UTC)


 * "at every instance I mentioned that an explanation or a source was needed for additions to the article"
 * At every instance, even now, you are treating other editors as idiots who don't realise this.
 * The content is sourced. It always has been. Why are you demanding sources when they're already there? Andy Dingley (talk) 14:51, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Contennt needs to be sourced. Why is that so hard for you to comply with? 82.132.225.115 (talk) 18:29, 3 December 2015 (UTC)


 * , you appear to say that your gripe with my interventions take you and the other editors working with this article as "idiots." I regret that. That was never my intention. Your comments on my page, which you posted after I have already reverted your changes for the second time and left a message in your own talk page (things were moving rather quickly), were enough to warn me about the way you were feeling. Taking your grievance to this level is not only a waste of time and an unnecessary investment of energy, but it also leaves adverse tracks of its own, like your gratuitous reference to WP:CIR (when the page clearly warns you against its use for issues of this type) and your accusation of bad faith (on which this entire report is based). I took the decision to leave your input on the page with a tag for citation before learning that you have appealed to this noticeboard. It is still puzzling. Historiador (talk) 18:33, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
 * The section that was tagged was covered directly in the citation at the end of the paragraph. I duplicated it in place of the cn tag.  Why is there no discussion on the article's talk page?  Did anyone actually read the source that was provided?  My only concern about the content is that the sentence is nearly verbatim from the source.  One does not need to cite every sentence in a paragraph, when the section is covered by the source at the end of the paragraph.  Scr ★ pIron IV 18:42, 3 December 2015 (UTC)


 * , I should mention that I never received notification of your question in User_talk:Jcflyer58, which you posted at 7am on Dec. 3: "Perhaps Caballero1967 would care to explain further?" My entry on that page was automated (as explained in my edit summary comments and above)-- and you never allowed me time to even get to it. Otherwise, I would have answered it.  Historiador (talk) 18:46, 3 December 2015 (UTC)


 * , thanks. My request were an explanation in the summary comments or in Talk page. If none of these, then a source would have hinted to the purpose of the addition. Again, more impotant was a summary/comment/explanation. None of them were provided, but until the end, when all the reverts were already done. Historiador (talk) 18:50, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
 * The edit summary that you referenced yourself, while a bit sarcastic, should have been explanation enough. It occurred at the beginning of the edit summaries. You mean, you did not check the reference, and just continued to revert? I would strongly suggest you drop it at this point, and withdraw the complaint.  Scr ★ pIron IV 19:00, 3 December 2015 (UTC)


 * , I suggest you read this entire thread more carefully. I am not the one making an accusation here. I did read the comments, and as I explained above, did not understand it as an explanation for the change (in retrospection, many things look perfectly clear). Not only because it was unclear, but also because there was no reference linked to that specific change and addition: none!. I took the extra step to read the sources linked to other parts of the paragraph and it was still not obvious to me. And since I was guarding the page against vandalism, and my requested had been unheard, I reverted it back, IN GOOD FAITH, and asked for an explanation, again. That's it. Keep in mind, that at every moment, I explained that I was asking for an explanation, a simple comment that would warn me that this was a collaborative project and that these additions were not random. Following WP about acting bold, I, again asked for explanations (or sources), nothing fancy. I am raising a complaint only as a reaction and linked to the accusation of war editing. The case drops, and as a result, the complaint falls with it too. Otherwise, there is a different place to raise a formal complaint. Historiador (talk) 20:51, 3 December 2015 (UTC)


 * , let me repeat, as to be as clear as possible (even though I have made it a focal point here), Andy Dingley's first comment to my revert, not only was sarcastic (a bit, because the space only allowed for a bit), but hinted to a reference that was none-existant. There was no < r > in the change being added or at the end of the sentence that I could look at. It was a reversion, an undid, a revert done in a hurry, without a proper explanation. And then, the user accused me of war edit, when I only reverted two of the user's edits (both without proper explanations of my own reverts). I searched for explanations, and as soon as I learned what was going on, I fixed the problem. All of this took very little time, but the accuser jumped to this page as soon as possible. In fact, my fixing of the page was done prior or at the same time that the accuser was writing on this page. No assumption fo good faith and lack of good communication. Historiador (talk) 21:12, 3 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Again, I would suggest you merely apologize for misreading, and be done with it. Read the sources before reverting. I'm done here.  No need to ping me any more. Scr ★ pIron IV 21:14, 3 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Again, I did not misread. The message was unclear. You misread something when the message is clear. And yet, I did apologize. let me quote, "you appear to say that your gripe with my interventions take you and the other editors working with this article as "idiots." I regret that. That was never my intention." The thread has grown, I understand, but it still important to read all the information before making any comment or passing any judgement. Historiador (talk) 21:31, 3 December 2015 (UTC)


 * And as I mentioned above, there was no source to read! No reference linked to the addition. None! And yet, I read further, and the link was not obvious at first. The context, keep in mind, is a persistence of adding information without explanation, and again and again, I asked for an explanation, a comment, something that would make sense.Historiador (talk) 21:35, 3 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Perhaps it is necessary to restate succinctly what I have explained here already in order for this case to get the attention it needs, namely, a result.

Summary: User:Andy Dingley brought my name to this noticeboard under the false accusation of edit warring. Not only did I stay within the parameters of the 3RR rule, but none of my reverts were done in bad faith. Perhaps the entire case is the result of poor communication and of reacting too fast to each other actions (I am also at blame on this last point). User:Andy Dingley explained that my constant request for sources or for explanations made editors feel like idiots. Even when this could have been solved without coming here, twice I apologized for giving that impression while asserting that this was never my intention. Moreover, I did bring the article back to the position it was before I had reverted it. This I did rather fast, as soon as I realized the nature of the problem. In fact, everything took only a few minutes. However, these were unfavorable actions and failures of good practices that should be considered from the user who brought me here:

(the links to the actions referred here are already posted above)

1)  It accused me of Edit Warring when there was never more than 3RRs, and not even the spirit of the law was broken: here.

2)  It failed to assume good faith WP:GF.

3)  In both instances, it failed to answer my requests for an explanation: summary/explanation/comments (WP:RFC) (the first user provided no comment).

4)   It failed to establish an effective communication with me before coming to this noticeboard-- a clear pre-requirement stated at the top of this page. (The two links above, which claim to be warnings sent to me, are not warnings at all. One lead to the bot's change and the other to my first change. Not only they say nothing about the user's claims, but they were not placed in my talk page nor on the article's talk page).

5)  It failed to warn me about the 3RR rule by posting this tag on my talk page: { { subst:uw-3RR } }, a step that should have been taken before approaching this forum.

6)   It failed to follow the steps suggested to avoid edit warring as explained here (this is key if the user felt there was an edit warring in the making).

7)   It used the WP:CIR against me in this forum even when at the page's top clearly says: "Be very cautious when referencing this page, as it can be very insulting to other editors." Writers of this page understood how it could be used as a shortcut to gain the upper hand by undermining other editor's standing (even when I was not discussing substance, but procedures).

User:Andy Dingley should have taken in consideration that Edit Warring "is different than a bold, revert, discuss (BRD) cycle...good-faith changes do not constitute vandalism" (quoted from the top of this same page).

 * Within a quarter of an hour you had managed to deliver three reversions to this article and three patronising warnings to two different editors on three different pages; all because you couldn't read a reference that had been there all the time, at the end of a two line paragraph.
 * You are still making comments "hinted to a reference that was none-existant" – the necessary reference has been there all the time.
 * You claim (above ) that this is not edit-warring because, "Three reverts is the maximum for a day. Thus, there is no war edit." as if you're entitled to three, and other editors can just suck it up because You Know Your Rights and you're damned well going to have your fair share of your edits. Even more bizarrely, "Moreover, they were not reverts to the same editor. One was for Jcflyer58 and two for Andy Dingley. " as if it's better when you're reverting against multiple editors!
 * I see no benefit to prolonging this verbosity, but nor do you seem to have learned anything from it. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:33, 6 December 2015 (UTC)


 * , you only see one thing: my request for sources. But that was only part of what I was asking. It could also have been a short explanation in the edit summary box or a comment on the article's Talk Page. You may want to look above again when I mentioned that we both were acting in a hurry. If I would have given a [better] look to your profile, I would have noticed that you were making constructive contributions to the article, and would not have made the last revert (despite your unhelpful comments).


 * If you would have also read my request for explanation/comments/sources in the manner I intended, you would have noticed that  my only function was to protect your work and that of your colleagues . As you appeared to have seen, your article came up as possibly vandalized, perhaps because some contributions were made without a summary. So, I came to it with the intention of making sure that whatever change would go in it would have to follow guidelines and to act (as always) in good faith. The first contribution had no summary/explanation and came from a new user that had already been warned by a bot, so I reverted it with a message that asked the user to return to the article. The second one (yours) had a cryptic and sarcastic message, but no explanation. The third was an accusation, again, no description. In all my reverts, I asked for explanations or sources, and in Good Faith. So you should have known I was not meaning to fight. In my last revert, I even issued you a clear plea for help so you would see that I was only guarding your page: "You know how it works, and you know the time it takes to make sure these rules are followed.” And still, I apologized for giving you the wrong impression.


 * Perhaps you could give us examples of better ways to approach an editor that is including information in your article without explanation. Unfortunately, the examples of your comments to me are not the best. But most importantly, you did not follow procedure, in the article and neither here.


 * In trying to make sense of your actions, I am starting to think that you thought I was challenging you in some sort of way, but I was not. It should be clear by now that my interest is not in creating dissension. I think that this would have been avoided if you would have talked to me in my Talk Page, in the article's Talk Page (ScrapIronIV was also surprised that there was no mention of it in the Talk Page) or personal message. Your actions show an eagerness to work in your article without being bothered, and I can understand that. But the way you reacted to my attempts to protect your work failed to follow good practice.

Prior to my involvement in the article (1 November 2015), I noticed the edit still popped up:
 * (166.48.141.173)
 * And sometimes spilling into other articles:

After doing a major update to the article according to CIA World Factbook, Lakota has, for the past month, been removing all sources of data for Bandladesh which put its literacy rate at about 60% (instead insiting that the the government's own source of 70% is the only valid answer). There is discussion at Talk:List of countries by literacy rate and User talk:Lokato. Essentialy I disputed that the CIA was the best source and he that the CRI was the best source, so I decided to request a third opinion. ONUnicorn suggested adding another column to include both of the data and I agreed, although Lokato failed to engage in discussion. Worldbruce has also commented that UNESCO would be a less POV source and to use a third column. As a result, I converted the entire page to UNESCO data (it was mostly the same at CIA, including for Bangladesh) and put two figures for Bangladesh: one from UNESCO and one from CRI. I thought this would end the dispute, but even after this, Lakota has continued to remove the data from UNESCO and insist that CRI's data is the only correct one. I've been unable to get any discussion with the Lokato lately and the edit warring is still continuing. Hopefully posting this topic will make Lokato take the edits more seriously.

Continues to claim that a link to hoodlum is necessary, even though the word is a common word and the page is just a disambiguation. G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 18:22, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Hoodlum is a disambiguation page, but it also contains a one sentence definition of hoodlum and a link to historical records on the origin of the term, the name of a gang of boys in San Francisco in the 1860's, so linking to a stub article on hoodlum would be reasonable. There appears to be the basis for a brief encyclopedic article on "hoodlums" in addition to a disambiguation page. The definition and history could be split from the disambiguation page and made into a referenced stub which was slightly more than a dicdef. I agree that it is a common word and that few native speakers of English would be at a loss as to what it means, so a link to an explanatory article is not essential, but neither is it harmful, like overlinking to more common words would be. Could this be discussed on the talk page of the Gangsta article? Edison (talk) 22:03, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I suggested this very thing, referring them to the talk page, to both of the disputants. I also posted on  User:WritingFromYourPerspective's talk page warnings about WP:Edit warring, WP:3RR, although these were after the edits indicated above.  Furthermore, I directed Perspective to WP:BRD.  Perspective deleted all of that from his talk page, which would be his privilege.

Comments:

The two main issues revolve around whether the Queen has official residences in Canada and using the adjective "Canadian" in one of the mentions of the royal family. They have been extensively discussed on the talk page and Miesianiacal has edit-warred over a considerable time, although I do not think he ever exceeded 3rr before. I notified him about exceeding 3rr two weeks ago, and he removed my message with the edit description "Undid revision 692323505 by The Four Deuces (talk) rm passive-aggressive trolling."

While I left a note about edit-warring, I did not use the template because this editor is well aware of the policy. While his current account shows no block history, one of the editor's previous accounts, User:G2bambino, does. Based on this editor's reply to my notice, I do not think any further notice was required.

 * Ladies and Gentleman, I am not an expert in the world of " Wikipedia", although, I do find it a useful tool. When it comes the the English Democrats Wikipedia, page, there appears to be an element of editors or administrators intent in always doing their best to shop the English Democrats as a Stereotypical English Nationalist party, interms of implying that it is somehow associated with Racism and unpleasant ... this is very disappointing. The English Democrats has people who are ex-Conservatives, ex-Labour, ex-Liberal Democrats, ex-Green, ex-Veritas and ex-BNP... yet just like the BBC there appears to be an obcession with implying that the English Democrats is somehow infiltrated or controlled by ex-BNP people - this is simply not the case, mainly because the BNP is a British Party and the English Democrats is a English party. There are far more ex-Conservatives in the English Democrats then there are ex BNP.. Also the English Democrats have and never have had any links with any Far Right eastern European parties. It is sad that there is not someone in wikipedia, willing to stand up for England. EnglishPassport (talk) 15:50, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

single purpose editor using multiple IPs, this has been going on a while, tendentious effort to downplay use of "far-right" descriptor in reference to Front National. Ignores all sources. Also misattributing and removing citations, while failing to provide WP:RS to demonstrate contrary minority view. Semitransgenic talk. 13:25, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Result: Article semiprotected one month. The talk page should be used to reach consensus on what terminology is best for this political party. EdJohnston (talk) 14:25, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm the IP user in question here. I haven't made any attempt to downplay the use of 'far-right' at all. I accept this should be in the article. The issue at hand is that the user 'Semitransgenic' continues to revert mine (and other people's edits long before me), that the exclusive use of 'far right' is contentious - using her own logic/methodology of citing sources, and using common sense. I have made repeated attempts to field for some feedback on this from the user but she hasn't given any. In addition, she has now blanked her Talk page which previously showed nothing but a history of petty edit wars and bans from Wikipedia. It's unfortunate you chose to lock it without looking at the user's Talk page or your editing history first, but I suppose you're quite busy. 86.161.48.241 (talk) 15:04, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Semitransgenic reverts any changes that make any mention of 'right wing' and prefers the term 'far-right' exclusively, which is dubious and part of an ongoing discussion, that has indeed been flagged with dubious-inline to field discussions. Note that the 'right to far-right' claim that Semitransgenic keeps reverting, has has been in place for some time.

Also, Semitransgenic has managed to obtain a month long semi-protected lock status on this article here, but the primary IP user that was reported to obtain this lock, is bogus:

This above IP user has never been involved in editing this article. It's a different user altogether with a history of defacing articles, but not this one, so the semi-perm lock may be dubiously obtained. Might I point out that Semitransgenic themselves has a colourful history of edit wars and blocks on Wikipedia, and blanked their Talk page before filing a report here.

 * You are distorting the situation. Doc8971 illegally reverted my edits without an edit summary. As for the earlier one on Checkingfax, that was only one reversion, but I had to revert 6 of his intermediate edits to restore my edit.i reverted Checkingfax because he supplied a wrong edit summary saying "citation needed." Not noticing the citation, I assume. I made a mistake in trying to revert the edit the first time, and you will see Checkingfax tells me to just re-submit it again, which I did. As for Doc89, If I am accused of edit warring, why not Doc? Firstly, All I did was revert his edit, which violated rules by not supplying an edit summary, and engaged in personal attack. He isn't allowed to just delete my good-faith referenced additions without supplying a reason, and so I was fully in my rights to revert his game-playing. Everything I added was sourced, and he just kept personally attacking and blanking my edits without explanation. Also, this was discussed on the talk page. And the information I was replacing was unsourced, so if you restore that version of the article, it is YOU who will be violating BLP. It is not a violation of BLP to report what news outlets have said about a political candidate. Please. NobleHumanBeing (talk) 18:41, 11 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Blocked per WP:NLT, per this edit. Regardless of the ability of the person to do so, the person is clearly trying to use the threat of legal action (as unlikely as may be) to force others to do what he wants.  Clearly a violation of WP:NLT.  -- Jayron 32 18:46, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

The current edits pass the duck test easily. In particular: edits to info. boxes and article leads almost exclusively; repeated original research and unsourced claims; pointless "churning" edits of stable articles; refusal to Drop the stick and back slowly away from the horse carcass when an edit is pointed out to be in contradiction of WP policies or unnecessary. I and several other editors are heartily sick of having to revert or heavily modify edits made with machine-gun rapidity and clearly original research or contradictory or unnecessary. Given that this editor has been active (and disruptive) for over two years, and has shown no sign of recognising WP:V and WP:NOR, discussion or warnings are pointless.

I had done revisions to improve some elements in the Bohol page, having edit summaries in each edit. However, User:Unbuttered Parsnip reverted my edits three times with different reasons (as seen in the page History) that leaves me puzzled. My understanding is that if a page could be improved, why should it not? It appears the experienced and veteran user is "playing with the rules" to prevent my revision from being saved on the page.

 * Comment: maybe full protection for 4 days is slightly overkill for a dispute between just two editors. FWIW, I think Unbuttered Parsnip could have been slightly more amicable and justified their reverts, just like the filing editor had tried to justify their obviously good-faith edits with summaries. LjL (talk) 22:39, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Perhaps, but as both users are autoconfirmed and I'm not inclined to block either user the option left in my toolkit to prevent further edit warring was to fully protect the article. It doesn't necessarily have to be protected the full four days, so long as they come to a consensus on the talk page (or at least an agreement to not make any further reverts until they come to a consensus) I'd be more than happy to unprotect early.

 * User has received multiple warnings about the 1RR in effect, and deliberately refuses to follow it. Viriditas (talk) 08:27, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

I am a very experienced editor in good standing with over 80,000 edits spanning nine years. My edits to 2015 San Bernardino shooting were undertaken to improve the article, and not to advance any personal agenda. I did not engage in an "edit war" in the accepted meaning of that term. No editor whom I reverted complained about my action. For some reason, User:Viriditas has taken a dislike to me (see and ), and I am inclined to think that this complaint is malevolent and mean-spirited. I note the comparison of the accuser's block log with my clean record. I accept the determination of the closing admin, but I am perplexed and saddened at the basis for this complaint. Regards, WWGB (talk) 09:54, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Response:
 * Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:14, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
 * @Kudpung กุดผึ้ง: Re your message at User talk:WWGB (diff), the 5 December 2015 revision of that page shows a very clear notification, and the edit warring report at 6 December 2015 provides the associated case. It is not reasonable to leave WWGB with the impression that being ultra polite is the only requirement when editing a highly contentious article subject to 1RR. Johnuniq (talk) 11:00, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Another thing that I don't consider reasonable is applying WP:1RR sanctions to edits that are neither necessarily related to one another nor to the contentious subject of the sanctions (ISIL). This may follow the letter of these "broadly construed" sanctions but I can't see how it matches the spirit that they should embody. One thing is edit warring over one specific ISIL-related aspect of an article, another is making multiple separate edits related to various details, but to the 1RR reporters, that's not a difference that seems to matter. But what chance do I have for this point of view to prevail, when the latest commentator in my motion about the sanctions even suggests that the one allowed revert is a "freebie", implying that virtually any edit that removes any content would need to be discussed on the talk page before being enacted? LjL (talk) 17:39, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
 * WWGB has long been editing to prevent any mention of Muslim, Islamic Terrorism, and ISIL in the article. WWGB refuses to acknowledge that 1RR applies, even though a benefit of 1RR is it controls these POV pushing editors. Given the previous edit warring over the insertion of the 1RR template a warning now based on an assumed lack of knowledge is obviously flawed and I've raised it with the involved Admin. . I'm happy to acknowledge the Admin was missing key info, but if no block is executed I intend to raise the Admin's judgement at an appropriate forum.  Legacypac (talk) 18:54, 13 December 2015 (UTC)


 * It's interesting that User:Legacypac, an ally of User:Viriditas, works with him to complain about other editors . Legacypac is fast and loose with the truth in claiming that I have "long been editing to prevent any mention of Muslim, Islamic Terrorism, and ISIL in the article". My edits show the opposite to be true ( and ). I varied one category from "ISIL terrorist incident" to "ISL-inspired terrorist incident" . The accusation that I am a "POV pushing editor" is ridiculous. WWGB (talk) 00:11, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Please avoid making baseless accusations against other editors sans evidence. Your allegation is countered by evidence showing the opposite of what you claim. Furthermore, you were asked to stop disrupting the 2015 San Bernardino shooting topic area, where you have engaged in move warring, edit warring, and talk page warring, as well as uncivil behavior against editors who warned you (you yourself told me to "fuck off" twice, hardly collegial behavior). The evidence strongly shows this.  Lastly, you made numerous comments prior to this report, indicating you were aware of the 1RR sanction in effect, and you actively tried to fight it.  This is documented in the above evidence section and singular diffs are available and have been provided in related discussions. The evidence in this report shows you were aware of the 1RR sanction and actively disregarded it in favor of edit warring.  There is simply no ambiguity or doubt on this question given the evidence. Viriditas (talk) 01:29, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
 * The statement made with Diff 88 is untrue. We actually filed seperate 3RR reports at the same time about the same editor on the same article (we were both filling them out unaware of the other filling out a report). Naturally we rolled them together once we figured out how. Legacypac (talk) 01:36, 14 December 2015 (UTC)


 * This request was closed by Kudpung yesterday with a result of Warned. Legacypac reverted the close asserting that Kudpung overlooked relevant information. Without meaning to be too much of a stickler for formal procedures, for a user to unilaterally revert an admin's resolution of a report on this board seems out of process. In any event, another 24 hours have gone by and no one is asserting any further problems, so the report is also now stale. Therefore, I am re-closing as Warned. I counsel WWGB to take the warning as well as User:Johnuniq's comments above into account in his future editing. Pinging User:Viriditas as well for his information. This thread is closed, but if there are any further alleged violations, a new report may be opened with a cross-reference to here. Newyorkbrad (talk) 16:27, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
 * It was not closed by User:Kudpung who clearly did NOT read the report with diffs. It was closed by User:EdJohnston who assumed Kudpung dealt with the report. Kudpung was alerted but has said nothing here. I suspect the next report will be filled against Kudpung. He seems more interested in attacming the report filer then even reading the report and diffs for his response was astonishingly incorrect. Legacypac (talk) 16:50, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
 * At this point, one of two things will happen. Either WWGB will not commit another violation, in which case the warning will have served its purpose, or he will commit another violation, in which case it will be dealt with. It makes more sense to me at this point to focus on constructive editing going forward rather than whether a 3RR report was closed to your satisfaction yesterday. Newyorkbrad (talk) 16:57, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree with Newyorkbrad's opinion. If someone is truly engaged in long-term edit warring then it's likely that a new report about the same editor will be filed soon, containing additional reverts. That will provide an opportunity for an admin to review all of the evidence, including whatever was provided here. EdJohnston (talk) 17:55, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

 * He/she has done three reverts. You have done two.  Neither of you have broken the three-revert rule.


 * Please could you widen the discussion at Talk:Mujeer Du'a so that other people can understand your points of disagreement. It would help a lot if you made a list of the sources, and then explain one-source-at-a-time what your objection to that source is.  If you are saying that the publisher makes the source unreliable, then please share with us your reasoning; for example if the publisher offers to publish books in return for money from the author, say so, and give links to a page where the publisher is offering these services.


 * Do you have any examples of "complete gibberish"? Please could you quote them on the article talk page.  It is possible that the other editor is in battleground mode and simply cannot understand that what he/she has written is difficult to understand.


 * By the way, have you checked that the sources contain the information that they are provided as citations for? Past experience with Saff V. shows that to be necessary.--  Toddy1 (talk) 11:05, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

This prohibition may be enforced by reverts, page protections, blocks, the use of Pending Changes, and appropriate edit filters." The new account is almost certainly a sockpuppet of a banned user.

Recently, I have attempted to simply remove the unnecessary breaking up into sections of various controversies, all of which consist of little more than two or three sentences, and therefore do not need to be broken up into sections. Doing so I believe gives undue weight to controversy, rather than having a neutral point of view. The user seems to have a lot of WP:OWNERSHIP issues, and may even have some sort of personal political beliefs that are contrary to the article's subject, and therefore prevents them from viewing the article's subject from a NPOV standpoint. Nearly any change I make to the article is reverted by this IP user, and they reverted at least four times, two of which within approximately 24 hours, which is noted to be against the rules in the headline of this page.

Wikitrueplus appears to have abandoned their old account, Mavsfernandez. Listing them both here since they've both engage in edit warring. Not yet really edit warring, but this user has been engaging some of the same activity on Pangasinan language. This user has been POV pushing to promote the Pangasinan language/people. This can be seen in the diffs supplied for the article Ilocano language in which they keep re-adding "which is unfair" to the article. He/she has been using false edit summaries in a number of articles with Ilocano language being the most to stand out.

While Motoe123 hasn't technically violated 3RR his edits are extremely disruptive, bordering on vandalism since he is corrupting a huge amount of sourced data. He is persisting in changing all the data in the chart to match that published at a fan blog at in directe contravention of WP:SPS. It has been explained serveral times on the talk page why fansites should not be used (some of the sites have huge discrepencies) and I have reiterated on the talk page once again that editors should defer to reliable publishers. He has ignored the talk page discussion despite having provided a link to it and it is pretty obvious he is determined to do his own thing, so there isn't much else I can do. Will someone please deal with this. Betty Logan (talk) 00:23, 15 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment No action has been taken on this case so may I ask how I am supposed to proceed? The data has been altered so that it no longer matches the reports from the World Snooker Association and publishers such as the BBC, but rather a fansite, which explicitly cannot be used as a source per policy. I cannot revert it without violating the three-revert rule. Will an admin please clarify what I am supposed to do in such a situation? If there is no support for the integrity of the sources then there isn't really much point adding the information in the first place. Betty Logan (talk) 10:35, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Regarding repeated agenda- based deletion-vandalism of my two sentence, well cited and researched comment on Yule reckoning. I believe this to be either the work of the AFA, JIDF, or sockpuppets acting out of racial hated and a wish to promote a Jewish controlled Heathen group that hates Europeans. It is very clear that this assault on my minor scholarly edit, which has a reliable and relevant source cited, is not a good faith deletion by them, but part of an anti-European hate agenda. This sort of behavior,by Amortias, Maunus, and Thomas.W, who may even be the same person as in a sock puppet, has no place in a scholarly encyclopedia which is meant to represent opposing points of view. I believe this user (or users) to be targeting the two sentence scholarly edit I made because he (or they) are members of a rival Heathen group to the one whose work I cited. My citation was clearly of higher scholarly value than the AFA edit with a non existing citations above it, but that is a Jewish controlled organizations and they wish to vandalize the entry of anyone who even refers to any Heathen European organization which has opposing views from theirs or which is actually run by Europeans. Many others have experienced similar abuse from these obvious agitators.

 * FWIW,, the anon - quite correctly - pointed me to a guideline that I hadn't previously read (WP:EPONCAT), showing that what he/she was doing was correct. Perhaps I should have removed my comments from the IP talk page, but I assumed the anon would do that him/herself. In this instance, it appears that Dimadick - in unnecessarily attempting to continue my erroneous edits - broke the 3RR rule, but the anon did not. I don't think the anon should be blocked for this. Dimadick should probably get a slap for breaking 3RR and presumably not reading the guideline in question when pointed to it by the anon, though i feel a bit bad about saying that since he/she was unwittingly fighting "my corner" - a corner I'd vacated.

, :The block is off for both editors, and things have heated up again almost immediately. I've temporarily edit-protected the category and added my 2¢ worth on the talk page, but - having been an initial editor in this mess - I may be too close to it to do more. FWIW, it looks to me like Dimadick is the more at fault of the two - he is ignoring a guideline on categories of this sort and has now twice broken 3RR. The anon is not totally blameless, though, having broken 3RR once. They've now resorted to name-calling, though the anon at least has had the good sense to suggest WP:DR.

 * The case of Ivan Gundulić, like of Ivo Andrić or Ruđer Bošković, has several issues which need to consider. Regarding edits, initially, the IP '86.98.120.224' moved the language label from Croatian language to Serbo-Croatian, and "most prominent Croatian Baroque poet from the Republic of Ragusa" to Serbo-Croatian Baroque poet. He argued "By all relevant linguists Bosnian, Croatian, Montenegrin and Serbian are not languages on their own, rather they represent varieties of Serbo-Croatian language. Life of Gundulic predates existence of all these modern states,therefore he cannot be labeled". I reverted that, labeling the edit as nationalistic. Then IP's '79.175.94.181' (assume is related to '77.105.63.244' due to same argument) and '94.206.11.83' done similar reverts but with different argument 1 (see serbian wikipedia), 2 (Ethnicity in modern sense did not exist at that time and only determinant we can use from today`s perspective is language they called Ilyrian and linguists today call Serbo-Croatian). Problem with this arguments is that historically and culturally Ivan Gundulić is considered a Croat and part of the Croatian culture (literature). This is a established common knowledge, see Encyclopedia Britannica (see here). However, if we take the argument how "ethnicity" did not exist in that time, than all notable Croats (and Serbs) before 19th century simply cannot be considered Croats and Serbs. Thus, this reasoning is used by the SANU and Matica srpska from 1990s (note the colapse of Yugoslavia and war at the time) to lay claim on his (and others, like Marin Držić) "mutual cultural contribution" to Croatian and Serbian literature because he wrote in Shtokavian dialect, which is the basis form of Serbo-Croatian ie. both modern Croatian and Serbian languages. Controversally, he was included by SANU among The 100 most prominent Serbs (1993), without any evidence for such a claim. Looking at argument see serbian wikipedia, there you will find controversal statement like "Descendants of Gundulić are expelled from Dubrovnik as Serb Catholics in the early 20th century", without any source, because it's simple fabrication and revisionism of history. While other IP's moved the "Croatian Baroque poet" to "Serbo-Croatian Baroque poet" in linguistical sense, I traced it back not to Croatia, but Croats article, as he's considered nationally a Croatian poet. The es.wikipedia had wikidata problem (by ethnicity considered a Serb), ru.wikipedia has a intermediate stand between general and Serbian, be.wikipedia since 2013 labels him as Croatian poet (only in category are also included two Serbian categories), while it.wikipedia notes him as one of the most known Croatian poets. As we see, the arguments have flaws, and were already discussed in 2014 by several editors, with loose consensus. Due to excessive reverts both editors could be blocked, but opposite reasons could be helpful to restart the discussion in the talk page and reach a more clear consensus on specific content. --Crovata (talk) 22:32, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

I feel that not blocking would be remiss in this case. Crovata in particular has a long history of edit warring. &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:16, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

I thought about blocking both, too, but this looks like a sock-y/meat-y kind of thing.  But yeah, it does look like he's got a history of edit warring, so if this continues, a sanction might be needed. -- slakr  \ talk / 00:36, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

An editor whose only contributions to Wikipedia have been to spam their personal website has been removing the template from their user page, despite the template saying quite clearly "do not remove this notice from pages that you have created yourself." They have read the template, as they originally contested the deletion instead of simply trying to remove the notice, so they are aware that they are not the one that is to remove it. They have also been edit-warring on Lucifer with the intention of spamming their website. - Aoidh (talk) 21:08, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Comments:

The editor in question has taken up a crusade for deleting any mention of prostitution in the article. He repeatedly deletes reliably sourced information to replace it with unsourced WP:OR. He also deletes comments from the TP when he wants to. He finally agreed to keep the text when a request for a third opinion produced two uninvolved editors who agreed that the editor in question was wrong but has since reneged on his agreement and has reverted for the upteenth time. FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 09:08, 18 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Don't think so. You keep pushing POV. "Most Sunni scholars" is not backed by sources. I ONLY agreed in the TP (per consensus, thats what the discussion was about) to keep the two books from Andreeva and Parshall, not to keep your unconstructive edits. Anyway, you don't seem to understand you have been reverting as much,; I can add your diffs if you like. Because AFAIK you are the one adding OR. I didn't add any OR whatsoever; please show an example. PD: The removal of comments from TP was A MISTAKE, sorry; so much for being unhelpful. --92slim (talk) 09:25, 18 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Examples of clear adding of WP:OR by Freeat: "most sunni" in source is "sunni".  "the iranian middle class" not present anywhere else.
 * Examples of clear removal of established sources by Freeat: Freeat removed this: "At the end of the contract, the marriage ends and the wife must undergo iddah, a period of abstinence from sexual intercourse. The iddah is intended to give certain paternity to a child should the wife become pregnant during the contract.", which was properly sourced by the Oxford Islam Dictionary and the Islam Dictionary.
 * Examples of disruptive behaviour: (no comment)  (claims lede can be unsourced, then sources it later).
 * Examples of canvassing: coupled with threats.


 * As for the claim of me deleting the word "prostitution", that's just laughable. I clearly didn't; just made the section under the header "Criticism" as per the Nikah Misyar article. About the claim that I was "removing reliably sourced information", like let's say supposedly here, it's not actually reliably sourced information. I said before, "Most Sunni Muslims" doesn't appear anywhere whatsoever, it's Freeat's own OR. Also, the practice of Nikah Misyar by Sunni Muslims is not WP:OR; I think Freeat might have political motivations here. I made it clear that both Sunnis and Shia practice similar types of temporary marriage.


 * I could go on. --92slim (talk) 09:59, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Everyone one the talk page agrees with my version(Can I even call it "my version"? It should be "The version of consensus") of the text. Only slim disagrees and then edit wars to keep it in place. FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 10:10, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Lastly, contrary to what Freeat says, it is very clear that consensus wasn't reached for this edit (Most Sunni scholars along with some Shia scholars and some Western scholars consider it to be a form of religiously sanctioned prostitution) but just reached for keeping two sentences by Parshall and Andreeva, so Freeat has been effectively disrupting the consensus process (with the canvassing and the random adding of false information not in the sources, as I explained before). Btw, I am not the one who started edit warring, so spare the rest. --92slim (talk) 10:16, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Just a quick note: I don't think I made the 3RR violation: we can clearly see that it's the first edit here and the first revert here, second revert here, third revert . Not that it matters, but I clearly didn't revert Freeat's clear OR first there either, so that claim is false. I made a revert after that once, but that's after Freeat's clear violation of 3RR was done. --92slim (talk) 10:40, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Update: Freeat continuing the edit war with further unconstructive edits motivated by Freeat's POV. See Nikah Misyar; sources are there. --92slim (talk) 10:45, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Comments:Ok, so another user and I appear to have consensus on the article's talk page of how the article should be. However, the user I am reporting who edits under both the User:Lawismarkellot and the User talk:67.0.63.191 (both making exactly the same edits for the last week or so), refuses to take the matter to the talk page and ignores my requests to do so. The issues I have are that the user is adding masses to the article which which is drawing conclusions from primary sources, and combining secondary sources to prove an otherwise unpublished point of view which is original research and not permitted on Wikipedia as per: No original research. I also don't agree with the content being put into the article but the said user refuses to acknowledge any request for discussion - which I have started on the talk page. Another editor: User:Brianann MacAmhlaidh agrees exactly with me on how the article should be and has reverted the same edits by User:Lawismarkellot and the User talk:67.0.63.191. So it would appear that me and User:Brianann MacAmhlaidh have consensus as per Consensus. This edit war has gone on for far to long and I have only reverted to the original version of the article to before User:Lawismarkellot and the User talk:67.0.63.191 who are almost certainly the same person came along. Any help much appreciated.

Comments:

SPA account keeps adding promotional soundbites to the reception section and re-organizing it so the most positive reviews come first. I have no investment in the article and came to it following an informal RFC request at the Film project. I agree with the sentiments expressed on the talk page that the more "measured" reviews should come first since the reviews were mixed overall; placing all the positive ones at the front of the section creates a more favorable impression of the film than perhaps the critics had. There has been no 3RR violation by the SPA but it is clear from the talk page discussion he does not have a consensus to restructure the section. I don't feel this is somebody who is committed to making neutral and positive contributions to Wikipedia; another editor suggests that Andreonethousand has some real-world connection to the production and I am inclined to agree. Betty Logan (talk) 19:02, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Betty, this is incorrect. The person who created this page intentionally put all negative reviews up top. I have placed two mixed reviews up top in hopes of finding a middle ground. You'll notice that the first two quotes have both a positive and negative aspects. My hope is that we can just leave this as is and continue to not engage in editing wars.

 * I don't even know what to say, this has been a episode of childish bureaucracy from someone with a clear superiority complex. I, the 'new editor', saw that the page was being left unchanged for years because of the lack of initiative. Two main sources I used were from newspapers, a digital conversion for an archive, one of which was already being used but was cited improperly. Two others were minor edits and I will accept their retraction without contest if so objected, however only one of these maybe considered 'questionable', the other is again from a newspaper interview with the director in 1985 about the film, Mask. And the findagrave.com citation was not mine but was used previously, I merely gave this citation to a sentence that a previous editor had clearly used as a reference, as it was just, basically, verbatim.


 * What's more is the "edit warring" came out by accident. Winkelvi reverted this whilst I thought about adding more, which I did, and appeared to them as an undo of their revert, so they in turn reverted it again. I read their comments and I acknowledged their request for a talk page post but I also changed the page again, reason being because of the lack of activity on the talk page and prolonged errors, (which had been noted on the talk page but nothing was done for years). This I did try to explain, though maybe I needed to go into further detail, as they appeared to be unconvinced, and again they reverted the changes. They also decided to post warnings to ban me on my page. I was shocked and felt very alienated. It was not like this was a controversial article. So I left the talk page post for a few hours after messaging request from the user to engage with the article if they objected. They did not, so I changed it once more, but then Winkelvi went full out wikipedia war on me.--Mikeymikemikey (talk) 13:58, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Comments:

There was no recent discussion on the article's Talk page, and there is no consensus for the changes Zezen is making. 66.87.114.184 (talk) 14:42, 19 December 2015 (UTC)


 * The user has explicitly failed to gain consensus for this proposal after being slowly and tediously walked through the process. Zezen's new addition makes claims that are provably not present in the sources (based on what, from the user's other contributions, I would assume is some kind of "nonwhite people segregate just as much as white people!!!1!one!!" agenda). Additionally, the addition still contains copyvio from the one single borderline reliable source that actually makes relevant claims. The other reliable sources cited do not make these claims - Zezen's response earlier was "well, the books talk about segregation enforced by white people in Kenya and the US, and they also mention Liberia unrelatedly and separately, so why should it be a problem that they don't say what I'm claiming they say?" –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 15:30, 19 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Rebuttal:

This admittedly contentious article has been repeatedly vandalized by IP-hopping WP:PRECED contributors, and was semi-protected and fully protected a couple of times, see e.g. its history or the protection log. My own Talk page needed a similar semi-protection against WP:Personal of IPs who reverted it back then.

For over a month I and other editors had sought consensus for e.g. its Racial_segregation section, see the relevant parts of the Talk page, and modified the content and sources considerably in reaction to valid criticism, so that e.g. no WP:OR can be claimed. The opposite argument was then used by nameless IPs, that it is a WP:Copyvio now (with 6 refs packed into 3 sentences), which I rebutted in turn claiming Onus for them to prove it on the talk page. (Now that I noticed there was forum hopping involved too, of which I was not aware.) There are a couple of named editors who support my edits, against 1 named editor who refuses by now to discuss on Talk Page and X IPs who keep reverting. Apart from partially successful WP:ANI a month ago, I had asked WP:Teahouse for advice which admin tool to use.

Please thus review our edits there and on the Talk Page and see that we operate according to WP:5P trying to protect the article against assumed vandalism. If so, a semi-protection or another active measures tool is needed again.Zezen (talk) 15:08, 19 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Once again, I recommend that you read WP:Vandalism and learn how to discern what is and what is not vandalism. My edits may annoy you, but they are not vandalism.
 * I also recommend that you read WP:ONUS. You have to build consensus for including the material, and there is no such consensus. 66.87.115.167 (talk) 15:27, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

The discussion about the article's content is moving to this admin forum instead of being played out on the Talk page. Let me concentrate on high-level admin issues instead.

My consensus-building proposal(s) have not been replied to for up to 20 days. For other admins' sake and risking self-quote accusation, this is what I wrote myself there about WP:ONUS and about arriving WP:VER etc., on the talk page itself:

Let me remind the 'named serial reverters of this section about this quote from WP:VER: 

'' While information must be verifiable in order to be included in an article, this does not mean that all verifiable information must be included in an article. Consensus may determine that certain information does not improve an article, and that it should be omitted or presented instead in a different article. The onus to achieve consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content.''

''To wit, the content is verifiable (or else its sources can be challenged here), I have sought consensus hereinabove, and the Wikipedians disagreeing with me should argue for its omitting here. As you can see it has not been even disputed as nobody gave Wikipedia-worthy arguments without resorting to WP:Personal for 20 days. ''

Again, there has been no reply, only reverts, mostly by hopping IPs.

So if one does not engage in seeking consensus at all, by not engaging, only aiming at tripping the RRRs rule, it is WP:Vandalism and against WP:5P. By now it is fourth attempt on misusing Wikipedia TLAs (WP:OR, WP:Copyvio, WP:VER, WP:Onus) to obstruct any changes, despite other editors' opinions visible e.g. on History page.

Because all the parties are subjective here, myself included, I leave it to the impartial admins to look at the Talk Page, related ANIs, etc. to decide what has been really happening here. Zezen (talk) 16:21, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment - Following extended discussion at the Teahouse, my suggestion is full protection of the article to force the editors to discuss, and that the editors request formal mediation to work out differences. Also, User:Zezen may need to be cautioned that Wikipedia policy does require engaging with unregistered editors, even if a registered editor doesn't like unregistered editors.  Robert McClenon (talk) 20:39, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

FYI, the article's talk page became active, thanks to constructive named account Wikipedians, and we are reaching consensus by some forensics to deflect copyvio challenges. A modest request to an admin who may wish to block me here: please check the article's history first and the WP policies TLA dynamics there, as I posited above. Zezen (talk) 05:52, 20 December 2015 (UTC)


 * More dissembling from an editor of questionable competence. Please do review the article's history, and you'll see multiple editors removing this original research/copyright violation/consensus-lacking material from the article and one editor -- Zezen -- repeatedly forcing it back in. He broke 3RR and mocked me when I asked him to self-revert because I am not a registered editor. Please block him and show him that he's not exempt from the rules and that IPs are people too. Thank you. 66.87.115.75 (talk) 06:19, 20 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment Please note that apart from bringing up vexatious incident reports like this one, having boycotted the articles' talk page, this perennial Nextel aircard IP hopper who tries to offend other named users by WP:Personal: "Are you drunk, or just stupid?", "bullshit from Zezen" to discourage long-term Wikipedians from contributing at all and sully up their Talk pages.

A range block will not help, alas. Zezen (talk) 08:58, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Result: 48 hours for long term edit warring at Racial segregation. The user has added similar material (about segregation in Liberia) to the article eight times since 28 November. He has also been acting as judge and jury in his own case when claims of copyright violation are raised. There are ways to properly get consensus for content additions, and ways to get review of copyright problems. The article was placed under full protection for three days on 28 November by User:Slakr but this didn't stop the problem. EdJohnston (talk) 17:32, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

violated the General Sanctions of WP:1RR at 2015 San Bernardino attack‎, per WP:GS/ISIL. -  Cwobeel   (talk)  21:40, 17 December 2015 (UTC)


 * I've already replied in the other forums this was shopped too. Cwobeel fails to note that none of them are reverts and purposely skips over consecutive edits.  e.g. his second "example" should be  which is clearly not a revert.  Two intermediate edits by the same editor count as a single edit and that was an improvement, not a revert. Not a single diff points to a previous edition that is identical.  --DHeyward (talk) 21:47, 17 December 2015 (UTC)


 * regardless, I'm done for the day. --DHeyward (talk) 21:47, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
 * No comment on whether DHeyward violated 1RR (nor do I know how many angels can dance on the head of a pin), but just a note to indicate that Cwobeel isn't forum shopping. He was advised by me that the text of the general sanction notice on the article's talk page called for 1RR violations to be reported here, and not on AN/I, so he closed the report there and filed this one. BMK (talk) 21:52, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

I'm not sure the reverts linked to are clear enough. In an attempt to display what I think is a clearer violation of the 1RR policy: Cwobeel's edit, DHeyward's revert. Liz's edit (removes and replaces with different text), DHeyward's revert (reinstates the text Liz removed without edit). These reverts are within an hour of each other. And seeing as I mentioned one of 's edits, I really should ping her. PeterTheFourth (talk) 23:00, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't know about anything else here, but I do know that DHeyward had not been issued a proper sanctions notification, as none was logged at WP:GS/SCW&ISIL. I have just issued such a notification, and would suggest that this be closed. RGloucester  — ☎ 23:11, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
 * That would be the bureaucrat's approach. Didn't went that well e.g. in the 1930/40's.--TMCk (talk) 23:19, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I am fine with that finding, but hope he now understands that he indeed violated 1RR. From his comment above, it does not seem to be the case. -  Cwobeel   (talk)  23:17, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
 * See also,  was fully aware of the restrictions. -   Cwobeel   (talk)  23:34, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

OK, so: So by my count, DHeyward has 3 reverts if you're being too harsh, 1 revert if you're being too kind, and somewhere in between if you're being reasonable. Normally, my response would be: well, it's admittedly fuzzy, so we should warn him to be more careful. But here's my problem: Above, DHeyward claims not to know about WP:GS/ISIL. But Cwobeel shows that DHeyward knew 1RR applied to the article a week ago. Why would DHeyward just accept that 1RR applied without knowing why? The answer is, he knew why, and is being disingenuous about being aware of the sanctions. In my opinion, this kind of gamesmanship on a contentious article warrants a block. I have a sinking feeling that if DHeyward weren't an admin, this would not be controversial, but since he is, it would be. Oops. It appears I'm an idiot. --Floquenbeam (talk) 02:31, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Paragraph A is created by several people adding text, moving it to other sections, and modifying it over the course of several days.
 * DHeyward removes paragraph A (there's a reasonable question of whether this is a revert; there's no clear previous version without this paragraph. Let's call this "revert-like but not a revert".)
 * Cwobeel replaces paragraph A (a revert, their first)
 * DHeyward, in consecutive edits, removes paragraph A and adds paragraph B (it's well established that consecutive edits are generally considered one edit as far as reverting is concerned. But here's the rub; is this a "revert"? Was Paragraph A replaced with Paragraph B, or was Paragraph A removed, and then Paragraph B added? They aren't really saying the same thing, so I'd argue this is "so much like a revert that it is a revert)
 * Liz replaces paragraph B with A (a revert, her first)
 * DHeyward re-adds paragraph B below paragraph A (This surely counts as a "revert" of Liz's removal)

Due to the fuzziness of the revert counting, and the potential controversy that I will not be around to address later tonight, I'd like another admin's opinion. But the "wasn't aware of sanctions" defense should definitely be off the table. --Floquenbeam (talk) 00:21, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * DHeyward is not, at this time, an admin. BMK (talk) 01:44, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I thought he was an admin too, but I don't see his name on the list of former administrators, I can't find an RfA for him , and his logs show him performing no blocks deletions , or protections , so I guess we were both wrong, and DHeyward has never been an admin? BMK (talk) 01:49, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * The user rights log shows he was never an admin. I don't know why I thought that, but I was so sure I didn't check.  Maybe his username sounds like an admin's?  I was really pretty sure. Sorry for the red herring. --Floquenbeam (talk) 02:31, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Since this is the second time I've seen this page being dealt with here in the past few weeks&mdash;with similar circumstances&mdash;I've added accordingly.  Hopefully this will help address "I didn't know" issues more proactively. Haven't looked to see what's going on otherwise, however; maybe will later tonight. -- slakr  \ talk / 01:13, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Good idea. Won't solve the problem but it will help, I imagine. --Floquenbeam (talk) 02:42, 18 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Ugh. Are Liz and Cwobeel really edit warring to include outdated information just to spite Dheyward? The NYT piece is more recent than the BBC one. It's worrisome when our website is behind the curve on news of recent issues.--MONGO 04:07, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Ugh. I am not edit warring. I made a single revert, keeping information that was accurate. This is my edit: . Last time I checked, this board is not for litigating content disputes. The content dispute is being conducted in talk page at Talk:2015 San Bernardino attack. You are welcome to join us there. -  Cwobeel   (talk)  04:15, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * You must not live in a greenhouse I guess.--MONGO 05:37, 18 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Closing; this is too stale to issue a block now, and others were games-playing too. User:DHeyward is warned this this is considered a breach of 1RR, and something similar in the future will likely result in a block, particularly if more games are played about what you do and don't know about the general sanctions. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:47, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
