User doesn't want some information in the lede, so is saying that nothing is sourced and is removing information. Article, specifically the Tablet one doesn't say at all what TM says it says, and TM says the Tablet article doesn't say that people believed the Rebbe to be the Messia, but reading the article, it says exactly that. He has been warned before about his pro-Chabad POV I tried to engage him on the talk page, where he BTW makes insinuations about sockpuppetry. Sir Joseph (talk) 14:41, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I invite admins to have a look at SirJoseph behavior and decide. This editor is adding info that has no source and removing info that does. This editor has engaged in edit warring (not just with me) and then accuses me of edit warring. TM (talk) 14:43, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * You are deleting properly sourced cites. Even after I warned you, you still remove the Tablet link and VIN is not a comment section. You need to stop removing properly cited sources. Sir Joseph (talk) 14:52, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I am not reverting you because I don't want to violate 3RR or edit war, but you are still reverting proper sources. Sir Joseph (talk) 14:55, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * The Tablet Mag article in the paragraph starting "The Rebbe’s entire life" mentions that people believe him to be the messiah. Why did you remove that cite? Sir Joseph (talk) 14:57, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * You removed the Bar Hayim claim, when that article specifically mentions the Rebbe and messiah (http://machonshilo.org/en/eng/list-ask-the-rav/31-general/424-the-false-mashiah-of-lubavitch-habad). Why did you remove that cite? Sir Joseph (talk) 14:59, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * You removed the VIN claim with the fact that "it's a comment." No, the VIN piece linked to a VIN article, not to comments on that article: http://www.vosizneias.com/31329/2009/05/06/crown-heights-ny-rabbi-menashe-klein-messianic-group-within-chabad-are-apikorsim/ So again, why did you remove it? Sir Joseph (talk) 15:01, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I am OK with no sanction if he agrees to use the talk page before making reverts that might be contentious. The talk page is there for a reason and if he's reverting things that are contentious, it should be discussed first. Sir Joseph (talk) 15:07, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I am glad another editor has begun looking at the sources as well and also realizes that I am correct. You are adding sources to support a claim that is not made in those sources. "He is believed to be the Messiah by many of his followers." This claim is simply not there. Some of them may speak about messiasnim within chabad, mostly in past tense, but none make the claim that you are insisting on being in the lede. The VIN article also says nothing of the sort, it's comment section does however. Also, let me ask you here, in front of the admins, why you removed/changed the statement "He is considered one of the most influential Jewish leaders of the the 20th century." It seems SirJoseph adds what he wants when there is no sources for it, and removes what he doesn't like even when there are. I always use the talk page and explain my edits. TM (talk) 15:15, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I am not sure what your problem is, the lede already says "he is arguably one of the most influential Jewish leaders of the second half of the 20th century" Like I asked you on the talk page, what exactly is your problem with the lede now? Sir Joseph (talk)  15:17, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * And you are still removing properly cited sources, even after asked to use the talk page and being brought to this page. Sir Joseph (talk) 15:24, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * This is being discussed on the talk page. I was not the only editor to realize that you are making claims and trying to support them with sources that don't support them... TM (talk) 15:26, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Whatever. You want to make the article even more of a hagiography? Be my guest. You are removing things you don't like because of your bias and it is showing. You are an SPA and I don't need to put up with this. Go and destroy the article as you see fit. I am removing the page from my watchlist. Feel free to remove any negative sources you don't want the world to see. Sir Joseph (talk) 15:30, 28 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Feel free to close this. I have removed the page from the watchlist. I can't deal with SPA biased editors right now. If they want to remove every negative source, that's fine by me. Sir Joseph (talk) 15:35, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * – 48 hours for edit warring. User:Sir Joseph could have been blocked as well, but he seems to have promised to take a break from the article. EdJohnston (talk) 01:32, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Attempted to discuss the issue on the user's talk page, but they refused all logic. They then falsely accused me of sockpuppetry when an IP editor also reverted them (revert)  (accusation). Alex&#124;The&#124;Whovian ? 10:04, 27 June 2016 (UTC)


 * the section you're referring to consists of pieces critical of the show. Also, the show is not a religion, political party or a living person. Neutral point of view doesn't necessarily apply in this case, especially since the section title just reflects the content. SWF88 (talk) 11:17, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
 * refused logic? really? is that i clearly stated i welcome third party opinions? careful not to start WP:PERSONAL mr 'experienced editor'. SWF88 (talk) 11:22, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
 * That does not give you the right to edit war, especially while in discussion. Read WP:BRD: you made a bold edit, you were reverted, and then you should have stayed put and discussed it to gain a consensus before reinstating your edit. The logic comment was concerning the original discussion, not your reply to my warning template. Alex&#124;The&#124;Whovian ? 14:09, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, User:SWF88 could be blocked for edit warring. (Five reverts of the same thing over nine days with no use of the talk page, and nobody agreeing with them). They might avoid sanctions if they promise to stop reverting until their position gets consensus on talk. EdJohnston (talk) 21:40, 27 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Result: User:SWF88 is warned they may be blocked if they revert again before getting consensus on the talk page. EdJohnston (talk) 01:52, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Comments:

To be clear, I am reporting for edit warring, not 3RR. The user has been engaged in a multi-day edit war, that has involved myself reverting to the established consensus version, User:AffeL also reverted the user, and the user being reported has continually attempted to add their own version of a part of the article, without any sort of consensus. I discussed this on the article's talk page with the user. They believe that their version does not need any sort of consensus. Their first edit involved removing the entire summary of the plot section, which existed because of WP:Lead. Their next edit involved replacing what had already existed with their own version. I reverted this, and the user reverted back. The user was reverted by someone else, and they reverted back. This has continued slowly over the past few days. My only contention is that consensus was not obtained, and therefore I have reverted. I don't have any ill will or personal vendetta against the user, I have remained entirely civil, and believe I am in the right to have reverted them, as they did not wait to obtain consensus on the article's talk page before reverting to their version of the article. Please also note this message left on my talk page, cursing at me and threatening to report me for 3RR. I do not have any desire to revert the article once more, as I would like a verdict to be reached with this report. Calibrador (talk) 14:50, 28 June 2016 (UTC) Please also note block log for this user, which shows at least three blocks for edit warring in the past. Calibrador (talk) 14:57, 28 June 2016 (UTC)


 * I must admit, I had just given this user their final warning about this very same problem (they have at least 6 reverts of the same material over the same period of time:


 * 1) 08:57, 28 June 2016
 * 2) 23:30, 25 June 2016
 * 3) 23:29, 24 June 2016
 * 4) 20:14, 23 June 2016


 * to name just four) and had drafted a 3RR complaint; I was giving them a last chance to actually participate in article discussion to forego having to do so. But I guess they think the best defense is a good offense. At least three of the edits Calibrador is using here are sequential edits, and are substantially different in content.
 * Calibrador has been engaged in a slow-motion edit war for almost a week, and failing to engage in either discussion as to their version or warnings to stop edit-warring (on their user talk page). Apparently, they have been edit-warring on other Game of Thrones pages, which suggests a patten.
 * I'd also point out that - content issues aside - I've altered versions of the Lede section in question so as to seek a more agreeable version, but the user keeps reverting back to a specific version (which I suspect they created themselves).
 * The main problem, as I see it, is that the user thinks that the Lede is a necessary redundancy for the article, whereas most see it as a an explanation of the article in the broadest strokes, leaving particulars (for episodic/entertainment articles, at least) for the plot section. They fail to grasp this, and further limit themselves by thinking that edit-summaries are the best way to communicate their view. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 15:12, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * And wow, bringing up a 2-year old block log. That's just sad. Do they also want to point out that I like butterscotch, too? The user didn't even get the number of blocks right. Sheesh. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 15:15, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I've discussed the changes since you first discussed them yourself. I left a comment on the article's talk page, which is where you should have been seeking consensus from the article's contributors. This was not done, you simply reverted each time you were. Calibrador (talk) 15:18, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Correction: you revert and then come in to drop a comment. And you've done that. Twice. Out of a half-dozen reverts. Not a good track record, really. And when I initially reverted, I started a talk page topic about it. You were nowhere to be found. Much like your notice to me of this complaint - nowhere to be found. I'm sure it was a simple oversight. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 15:26, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * You keep repeating this "nowhere to be found" refrain, and yet it does not seem to be true. Calibrador (talk) 15:38, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Please also retract your accusation that I reverted you six times. There's a reason you were only able to link to four, two of which referred you to obtain consensus before reverting, which, as I stated, you did not do. Calibrador (talk) 15:21, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I only counted the four most blatant reverts. You will note that I haven't liked your edit-warring on other GoT-related pages, either. Had you used the article discussion page instead of thinking that an edit-summary would resolve any dissent, we wouldn't be here. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 15:26, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Please link to these other reversions on the Battle of the Bastards article. Calibrador (talk) 15:37, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * See, this is the sort of discussion you should have avoided having to have by using the talk page more effectively. We aren't here to discuss content but instead approach to editing. You haven't been very good about editing collaboratively, and have been pretty unmoving with regards to your pet version. That's a problem for the rest of us on the GoT pages where you are consistently running into disagreements. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 15:50, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * You didn't respond to my request. I also disagree with your statement about consistently running into disagreements. The only thing I can think of is a very recent talk page discussion for a season article. All of my other contributions have resulted in the article being put up for GA nomination. Calibrador (talk) 15:53, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * You mean, the article that you wanted to be GA long before it was actually ready for nomination? The very fact that you brought this up suggests a problem with your ability to work with others in the article. I want GA quality (and FA quality) too but, as the editor who quickfailed the nomination pointed out, you need to let the article get stable. Claiming the dissentwers don't know how article rules works is, frankly, a stupid way to go about collaborating.
 * Anyhoo, a simple look at your contributions shows these same sorts of arguments popping up with you in other articles. Everyone knows that I am a stickler for the letter of the rules (for good or ill). I had suggested to you on numerous occasions that you needed to discuss more and revert less. You took that instead as a challenge to file a complaint against someone who disagrees with you. I suspect that you consider this the best way to deal with dissent. It really isn't. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 16:47, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I did not nominate, desire or want the articles to be nominated. Calibrador (talk) 17:02, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Of course you didn't, which is why you are the sole commenter apart from the person quickfailing it. Maybe be quiet now, and reflect on how much of this problem you could have resolved, had you actually discussed this issue on the article talk page. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 17:22, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Please stop launching false accusations. Calibrador (talk) 17:37, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I will reiterate, since you clearly weren't reading my posts: Maybe be quiet now, and reflect on how much of this problem you could have resolved (or out and out avoided), had you actually discussed this issue on the article talk page. And there hasn't been any false accusations, at least, not by me. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 18:12, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Jesus. Give it a rest. How about you both consider going back to talk for the time being and try to find some kind of middle ground between "I'm right" and "You're wrong". You've bludgeoned each other for four pages over a mainly stylistic difference regarding a single paragraph. There's a thing called compromise, where you try to take each of your preferred versions and use the best of both worlds. I highly recommend it. Timothy Joseph Wood 18:27, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Given the user just left another message with curse words on my talk page, I would much more prefer it if someone took a closer look, rather than a generalized one. Another user on the article talk page agreed with me, and the user is still trying to weasel it into being their way. Calibrador (talk) 20:13, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh, and the user has reverted User:Somethingwickedly as well. This to me is a clear suggestion that they have no intent on actually allowing anyone else's version to be used. Their version says "decisively" twice in the same sentence, can someone else please step in? Calibrador (talk) 20:21, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Result: Both User:Jack Sebastian and User:Calibrador are warned they may be blocked without further warning if either of them reverts the lead of Battle of the Bastards again prior to getting a consensus for their preferrred version on the talk page. See WP:RFC for some options available to you. EdJohnston (talk) 01:16, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I'll abide by the solution, but I absolutely guarantee that you are going to see Calibrador here again, at someone else's report. What wasn't apparently clearly stated enough is that the reporting party was reverting back to their hand-crafted version. When Timothyjosephwood restored after this caveat from you, he got what he wanted. Yeah, that seems like a legit solution. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 02:58, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
 * After this report and the warnings issues by to both editors,  continued by removing a reply to a talk page discussion that  posted, per this edit, with the explanation of "not asked for". Doesn't seem very collaborative to me.  Alex&#124;The&#124;Whovian ? 03:01, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Honestly, I could give two shits about the article in question. I like watching GoT, but I've long since decided to only edit articles related to it if they are jut plain wrong, or filled with fancruft. In the article in question, the user was using WP:Lede wrong, but no one noticed that. All anyone here ever looked at was the back and forth, and that I use the word shit and/or fuck. What's the effing point, if you guys are going to cudgel someone when they are trying to improve the encyclopedia while rewarding the one gaming passive-aggressive games? - Jack Sebastian (talk) 03:07, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
 * And it didn't take long for my prediction to come true. Somone else pointed out a problem with the user. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 03:08, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Comments:

User has reverted the addition of a color scheme four times, within 24 hours or just outside 24 hours. Also moved the article to draft space when they didn't get their way after reverting three times, in order to avoid 3RR. They just reverted the color scheme for a fourth time. Attempted to discuss what their issue was with this, including linking the season six article, which they edited and added the infobox color to, but was told in an edit summary that they do not wish to discuss anything with me. Calibrador (talk) 01:44, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * This is a retaliatory report because I refuse to discuss with this editor after they acted uncivil and pulled at straws the entire conversation (e.g "Perhaps their newly acquired file mover rights should be revoked, as that seems to be an abuse of power" after I moved a page from article to draft), and also after I agreed with the opposing editor in a report further up the page by the same user. No violation of 3RR has occurred here, this is per an agreement I'm currently under after the grant of another user right. Also noted that there's no diff of edit warring/3RR warning, nor notification of this report on my user page. Alex&#124;The&#124;Whovian ? 01:49, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * You are aware of 3RR. Calibrador (talk) 01:51, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * None of those are reverts. Amaury (talk) 01:51, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Per the above editor. I haven't reverted anyone. And no matter how aware you think an editor is, you are always meant to warn them. You have failed in this. What of the section in the header of this page that states ? As I've said, all this is is a retaliatory report. Alex&#124;The&#124;Whovian ? 01:55, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * The reporting user as now attempted to warn me of 3RR after they submitted this report. It's obvious that they are now just attempting to be a troll. Alex&#124;The&#124;Whovian ? 02:00, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Now that you are talking, maybe you can actually respond to my comment that I asked you to respond to previously. Calibrador (talk) 02:01, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Wrong place for it. It appears that the reporting editor created this report just to get me to discuss with them. Alex&#124;The&#124;Whovian ? 02:03, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * No, it was to report you for the removal of the same content four times over the span of a little more than 24 hours. Calibrador (talk) 02:05, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

A good deal more than 24, with no reverts. And your post of Now that you are talking, maybe you can actually respond to my comment that I asked you to respond to previously says otherwise. As mentioned, this report is nothing but the actions of a disgruntled editor upset at the effects of their actions. Alex&#124;The&#124;Whovian ? 02:07, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Still edit warring all the same. Calibrador (talk) 02:08, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * In your opinion. We shall wait to see what an administrator says. Alex&#124;The&#124;Whovian ? 02:11, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Edit warring would be him reverting—keyword: reverting, which isn't happening in the first place—back to his preferred version. From what I can see, that is not happening here. Amaury (talk) 02:13, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * They removed content to create their preferred version, whether it's blanking or adding notes, both accomplish the same thing. Calibrador (talk) 02:23, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Even if that was the case, which I won't say it was or it wasn't as I wasn't in 's shoes, can you prove that was his intention? What if instead of creating his preferred version, he was simply trying to improve the article? Unless he specifically said, "I'm doing this so the article is how I want it to look and will not let other editors change it," I don't think there's any way you can prove his edits were ill-lead. Amaury (talk) 03:51, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * If they were trying to improve the article, they did not discuss this on the talk page after doing it three times initially. They moved the article to draft space instead. Calibrador (talk) 03:53, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * You know why. When I did, you acted with an uncivil tongue. Moving it to the draft namespace is not related to this incident. On that, it's then when you retaliated in a bad faith manner and moved two other pages that I have edited to the draft namespace, only those specific two, without discussion on the talk pages of those articles for editors on those pages. Exactly what you accused me of doing. Alex&#124;The&#124;Whovian ? 03:58, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Likely because it wasn't ready to be an article. He very well could have tagged the article for speedy deletion and it would have been speedily deleted by an administrator, but he instead made it a draft so it had the chance to be brought up to article standards. And no, in most cases, edits don't need to be discussed. If a new episode of a TV show airs and I update the episode count, I do not need to discuss that. The only time edits need to or should be discussed are when issues are raised with them, and that is not the case here. Just because you're trying to make a big deal out of nothing simply because you're upset over whatever it was that he did—likely nothing—doesn't mean there are issues with his edits. Amaury (talk) 04:04, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Grumble. Trouts all around. Alex, there is enough there to pass csd. Please use traditional discussion methods before drafityfying things. I have moved it back to the mainspace. The both of you, stop snipping at each other and please don't edit war. Continuing to change the color of the infobox by either of you will find yourselves with blocks. -- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  04:05, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Editor is pushing his viewpoint through disruptive editing and edit warring at the article as well as the RfC on the article talk page. Refuses to take part in the RfC, rather, is choosing to add content while discussion and RfC on said content is still occurring. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 02:07, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Continuing to disrupt the RfC by removing headers and insist that the RfC structure is violating policy. It's not. The RfC structure is now a mess and I won't revert it back lest I also be seen as edit warring. I have added the pertinent diffs above. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 02:16, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Dear administrators, all I have done is just stick with Wikipedia policies, WP:V, WP:WIKINOTVOTE, WP:CONS. I don't think insisting on policies is criminal, isn't it? The problem here is that certain user just come making a bold editing, and ignoring the input of that article's WikiProject editors. The article has been that way for a very long time, and then the user wants to change it without considering consensus. Bluesatellite (talk) 02:50, 30 June 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm totally unclear on why you think what you listed above trumps the rules of an WP:RfC and how it is run. You can't just overrule the RfC and change the format of it willy-nilly in an attempt to invalidate and sabotage it.  Further, while an RfC or a discussion is happening on the article talk page, you can't just start adding content to suit and support your point of view.  That is - I'm pretty certain - forcing a consensus that fits your preferred version of the article by shaping the article to reflect your !vote.  It's basically akin to stuffing the ballot box.  -- WV ● <span style="text-shadow: 4px 4px 15px #FF9900, -4px -4px 15px #FF0099;">✉ ✓  03:00, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

The article in question is under a general 1RR rule in regards to any ISIL-related articles. In other words, Editors of this page may not make more than one revert per twenty-four hours when reverting logged-in users. The IP editor conducted not two, but four reverts of me and editor Mehmedsons. The editor also conducted numerous other questionable edits at other articles (such as removing sourced information and its sources) and has been reverted each time ether by me, Mehmedsons or several other editors, and has been warned in the edit summaries, but still he keeps coming back.

An admin will see that it was submitted days ago, the user hasn't reverted since, and since it's sizzled out since it hasn't been addressed (while reports after this have been), the editor in question will be let go and will know that it's alright to violate 3RR.

Comments:

Pbierre's addition of new material has been reverted by three different editors (myself,, and ) — and he has been cautioned regarding several policies (including WP:BURDEN, WP:NPOV, WP:EW, WP:3RR, and WP:DR) by myself and Jc3s5h. Despite having had WP:BURDEN explained to him, he continues to re-add his changes, apparently firm in his conviction that the burden lies on others and not on him — insisting in his edit summaries that "WP rules do not allow suppression of opposing views on a controversial topic" and that others must stop "doing any more summary deletions of disputed content". In a situation like this, I would normally just go ahead and block Pbierre for edit warring myself, but since I was one of the people who reverted him, I'm bringing the matter here to WP:AN/EW to avoid any tiny possibility of my being seen as violating WP:INVOLVED. — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 01:10, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

Note that Pbierre has started a section in the article's talk page (Talk:Birthright citizenship in the United States). So far, at least, no one else has joined this discussion. Although I'm happy to see that Pbierre may finally be getting the message that there is a controversy here that needs to be hashed out in talk, he followed up his talk page post by almost immediately reinstating his own material — thereby continuing the ongoing edit war which he said he was hoping to head off. I, for one, am not yet convinced that Pbierre understands or accepts the principle (stated in WP:EW) that edit warring is not OK even if you are convinced that you are obviously right and everyone else is obviously wrong. — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo)  01:31, 2 July 2016 (UTC) 01:05, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

User:Beyond My Ken has a preferred heading, "social psychology studies", for a section in the furry fandom article. Despite edit-summaries explaining that "social psychology" is the wrong term to use, a talk-page discussion about why "studies" is an apt header for a certain section, and a recent talk page discussion that further explains why "social psychology" is the wrong term by appealing to the references themselves, BMK insisted that these are "non-consensus edits" but did not further discuss his apparent notion of what the consensus is. I responded to him that "no consensus" is not a valid reason to revert an edit if it's the only reason. He changed his reason to "POV edits, even though none of the edits push a POV or alter the POV of the article. I was willing to discuss these initial changes but BMK ignored the discussion and reverted them anyway. Now he's calling a different set of changes POV-pushing and it just seems like it's personal.

 * Edit warring seems to be repeatedly reverting edits without discussion, as is the case here. What little discussion there was is specified.

This is borderline 3RR and a more complex issue. I have added changes to the lede of the article based on a recent Harvard research which brought into light new findings, and was reverted three times by the same user under a series of different IP address, each time to a more outdated and POV laden intro from partisan sources. The IP displayed no intentions of discussion, and made a series of seemingly false accusations (accusing me of misinterpretation) with his reverts and deletions.

Furthermore, there is currently a sockpuppet investigation against him by another editor, where his other accounts and IPs displayed a similar editing habit - several quick additions and reversions with vague and often misleading summaries, then quickly switch to another IP the next day. In light of his prior record and lack of accountability by using a new IP everyday to revert, I reckon he is due for some sort of sanction.--LucasGeorge (talk) 11:18, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

None of the IPs in question have chosen to use the talk page, as such it is unclear their issues(s) with the Idrisid dynasty.

If the above IPs are Omar-Toons, then it is certainly a case of his being drawn to save pages from Bokpasa's socks, which emerged a couple of months ago and have been running rampant through Moroccan history pages.

Comments: This user has been blocked recently for his edit warring on 2015 Copa América and persists with the current and has no recollection of the warning I had issued to him. Proceeds to remove a sizable section of the article page with little explanation, perhaps highly controversial and made no effort to discuss these changes first on the talk page. Also initiated a preemptive edit warning on User:87.6.136.87 (only had one reversal) who had first noticed this content removal. Thank you kindly.

Reverting back to status quo was done appropriate and per BLP policy. Nothing from a major news source has been reported on her alleged death, only mirror sites and online gossip sites have made mention of it. The "news" of this has been out there for over 24 hours, yet no major news source has reported it? That alone makes it dubious. There have been hoax reports of her death before, the most recent being in October 2015. -- <span style="text-shadow: 4px 4px 15px #0099FF, -4px -4px 15px #99FF00;">WV ● <span style="text-shadow: 4px 4px 15px #FF9900, -4px -4px 15px #FF0099;">✉ ✓ 23:42, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

 * UNTRUE @Winkelvi Several different news sources have reported this unfortunate news. You do not get to make a unilatereal decision as to which source could be used to comply with BLP regulations. You have accused three or four editors of edit wasrring when it is your FOUR reverts in a short time at the article was disruptive. You refused to engae in discussion on the talk page.

Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant  00:01, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

I'm not interested in arguing about this further, however, I do feel there are a few things that need to be pointed out for those who seem to be missing some of the finer points regarding policy and what was occurring at the article in question:

1 - The article is a BLP and BLP guidelines state that anything not verified by reliable sources must be removed immediately. There was nothing verified by a reliable source regarding the article subject's death at the time the addition of unsourced/unreliably sourced content and edit warring was occurring. We have to be extra careful with BLP articles, this one is not an exception. 2 - Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a news source. It is not our job to add content just because it's being reported or discussed online. 3 - We are not here to scoop anyone and there is no deadline in Wikipedia. 4 - If it turns out that Noel Neill's death has occurred and has been verified to be reported by reliable source(s), then it can be added to the article. Until then, there's no rush to get it done. That fact is based on the previous three points. 5 - I added very specific edit summaries citing policy, participated in article talk page discussion, and almost immediately requested pending changes page protection; I was forced to then ask for full page protection. By doing all this, I was hoping those edit warring at the article would get a clue. No one seemed to care and continued edit warring, regardless. This edit warring report was filed against an editor who left no edit summaries and surpassed the 3RR threshold in violation with BLP and 3RR policy. 5 - It seems that the only thing stopping the edit warring in spite of 3RR and BLP policy was having the page fully protected. 6 - What was happening at the article when the edit warring was occurring is against BLP policy no matter how you slice it.

 * Paint it any way you like but you repeatedly reverted edits with reliable sources as noted above. And you did so in blatant violation of your own 1RR restriction which was the basis for your unblock in February (after four other blocks for edit warring). Helper214 (talk) 00:26, 5 July 2016 (UTC)


 * After you altered your post again I have to clarify. You now claim you gave "specific edit summaries citing policy". What you did was give dishonest edit summaries. Here you revert claiming "Unsourced - reverting per BLP and RS policy." yet what you are reverting gave a source of Yahoo news. That is not unsourced. Here you gave an identical edit summary even though in that edit a reference for NY Daily News was given. Once again, that is not unsourced. What you did was edit war and then after the fact you backpedaled and claimed the sources which you initially claimed didn't exist were in fact just unreliable (even though that also is untrue). And again, all of this in violation of your own 1RR restriction. Helper214 (talk) 00:35, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Then explain why you agreeing to a 1RR restriction was the basis for being unblocked for your fifth edit warring block. Helper214 (talk) 00:35, 5 July 2016 (UTC)


 * "I'm not interested in arguing about this further" I bet not! Why is it in your view that the above news sources cited by @Helper214 which are used all over wikipedia in blp articles and non-blp articles are not reliable enough in your view to be cited at this article? You do not get to unilaterally decide which news source may be used. The disruption and edit warring by you winkelvi is quite amazing to see. The top of it all is that you have deemed even Variety in not a reliable source! You should really read over WP:OWN. Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant  00:36, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree with Helper214's post just above. You can try and hide behind blp policy when you were being, disruptive, dishonest, and edit warring all at the same time. Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant  00:39, 5 July 2016 (UTC)


 * The only reason why I'm not handing out blocks is that they're supposed to be preventative, not punitive. The death is confirmed and the edit warring has stopped., please read our policy on edit warring carefully - it'll save you from getting into trouble in the future. , you were much more closer to being blocked. You need to pay much more attention to "What counts as exempt under BLP can be controversial. Consider reporting to the BLP noticeboard instead of relying on this exemption." If you are saying that sources like Hollywood Reporter are not reliable for this purpose, you need to be able to point to past community discussions determining this. <b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 03:02, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Please stop adding replies on the same line as EvergreenFir, make the reply on a new line and properly indent it, and use four tildes (~s) to add the signature and date. As for your reply: international airdates would only go in footnotes if they were not the original air dates. If they are the original air dates then they go in the OAD field. The only thing we should be arguing about is whether or not to have an AltDate column and whether first English (Canadian) or first country-of-origin (US) takes priority to inhabit it. 64.231.169.3 (talk) 22:57, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

 * The problem here is that the US air dates for the later episodes are NOT the original air dates. OAD refers to the first televised broadcast per template:episode list, not later televised broadcasts in the nation where the series was produced. The US dates are not even the first English broadcast, which is probably the next most notable dates. Those happened in Canada on YTV.

Comments:

The article is under 1RR restriction. StAnselm is fully aware of this (see warning above). They are claiming that this is some kind of egregious BLP violation so they get to edit war to their preferred version. This isn't the case. The text is actually well sourced with over a half a dozen sources provided on the talk page,. Yes, in the article itself, the text only had one or two sources - but that's because it's silly to have the [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]...[111] kind of citing that makes articles look ridiculous. StAnselm knows this. So using BLP here is just an excuse it's just an attempt to WP:GAME Wikipedia rules.Volunteer Marek (talk) 21:09, 4 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment: As I made clear in my edit summary and talk page comment, I was removing a BLP violation, and claiming a BLP exemption. The text in question said that Trump was "widely described as a right-wing populist". There were only two citations for this particular claim, and neither reference even used that phrase. As has been made clear by multiple other editors on the talk page, it is not enough to find a source saying he's right-wing" and another saying he's "populist" - an explicit source is needed. No reference had been given for this particular wording. As a poorly sourced contentious claim, I had to remove it on sight, and I don't really know why I've been reported here. StAnselm (talk) 21:20, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * The fact that you're the only one on the article who thinks it's a BLP vio sort of suggests it isn't. And this has been pointed out to you and you decided to violate 1RR anyway.Volunteer Marek (talk) 21:47, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Not at all - I think you need to read the whole discussion. User:Doc9871, for example, said:

How on earth was this [9] even supposed to be accepted at face value as "sourced"? Edit summary: "the description itself is fine, although a more explicit source is better". A more "explicit" source? What kind of lazy garbage is this where you can insert a "description" that is unsupported by the source to hold the place for a more "descriptive" source that actually uses the phrase?!
 * I suggest you withdraw this report before it booomerangs. StAnselm (talk) 21:54, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * "Speaking as an admin, I would reject the idea the BLP exemption applies to that revert". "Considering that you have been blocked before for edit warring under a fallacious appeal of WP:BLP, do you really think it's a good idea for you to violate the 1RR imposed on this article?".  "StAnselm, for all your pontifications on my talk page, you just broke the rule you said I would break, and are thus eminently blockable. NeilN is quite correct that the BLP exemption doesn't apply here".
 * These are all comments addressed to you *before* you decided to go and break 1RR on purpose, in some kind of WP:POINT violation.Volunteer Marek (talk) 22:05, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually, no - these comments were all made after I made my second revert. StAnselm (talk) 22:18, 4 July 2016 (UTC)


 * StAnselm should know from previous blocks and warnings that what counts as exempt under BLP can be controversial. In practice, it should be invoked only for removing material that any reasonable person would deem as libelous, biased, unsourced, or poorly sourced contentious material. That criteria was not met in StAnselm's second revert. The material removed "right-wing populist" is a reasonable paraphrasing of the Washington Post source which states "His [Trump's] style is reminiscent of populist and fascist leaders " and in its headline states "Donald Trump may be showing us the future of right-wing politics". This is exactly the kind of gaming the system that brought the very Arbcom case from which the discretionary sanction came. - MrX 22:07, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * And has been pointed out to you by multiple editors - and as I said before, I was surprised you didn't know this - right-wing + populist ≠ right-wing populist. So, no - it was not a reasonable paraphrase, as anyone actually familiar with the terminology would know. StAnselm (talk) 22:16, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * And yes, I stand by the claim for a BLP exemption - any reasonable person would deem this as "poorly sourced contentious material". MrX, I think you are being unreasonable here. StAnselm (talk) 22:22, 4 July 2016 (UTC)


 * As has been pointed out to you right-wing populism actually describes Trump's politics quite accurately. I suggest reading the article and reviewing some sources before concluding otherwise. In any case, 1RR means don't revert more than once. The conspicuous edit notice says You must not make more than one revert per 24 hours to this article . If it really is a BLP violation someone else will revert it. You can also report it to one of the many notice boards at your disposal.- MrX 22:32, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * One google search and about five minutes lead me to the following articles, all of which support the description of Mr. Trump as a "right-wing populist":, , , and notably the third paragraph of which begins: "Mr Trump is a rightwing populist."  Whatever one thinks of Mr. Trump, the argument that he is not described in this way seems hard to sustain.  Thank you. Dumuzid (talk) 22:36, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * And it is disappointing that User:Volunteer Marek didn't bother to look for sources to support his claim. I'm not saying that Trump has not been described as a "right-wing populist" - I am saying that it is a contentious claim (especially with the phrase "widely described") and that such sources were not in the article (or even on the talk page), and so the claim was poorly sourced. StAnselm (talk) 22:45, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Would you consider self-reverting if enough sources were produced now? Dumuzid (talk) 22:49, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, if there was a reliable source saying he was "widely described" in this way. But the talk page discussion seems to be heading towards a consensus that he is "widely described" as "populist" but not as "right-wing populist". StAnselm (talk) 22:53, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * (ec) Even if "right-wing populism" does describe Trump's policies, that would be irrelevant to our BLP policy. It is still a contentious claim, and it needs to be reliably sourced. For BLP policy, it is not good enough for the sources to simply exist. They need to be in the article, and the onus is clearly on the person adding (or wishing to add) the material. StAnselm (talk) 22:41, 4 July 2016 (UTC)


 * More 2 cents: What I see is claiming BLP on the second revert but only asking for consensus in the first one. I don't think it became a BLP vio within a few hours.--TMCk (talk) 23:14, 4 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Note I issued a block before becoming aware of this discussion. I am happy to defer to the judgement of any passing uninvolved admin on this matter as I have said on the user's talk page. They have an unblock request pending where they are claiming a BLP exemption, a claim I disagree with. <b style="color:Indigo">HighInBC</b> Need help?   00:37, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

I think this block should be overturned. The matter was clearly contentious, and despite the assertions that it was reliably sourced, I don't think the evidence had been presented to confirm that. Recall three important points:
 * More than one person has pointed out that this is not analogous to a "blue car". It isn't enough to find a source using right-wing and a source using populist. We need sources saying "right-wing populist"
 * Despite assertions that many sources existed, I looked at some, and the ones I looked at failed to support the claim. I urged someone to put together a clear summary, but that has not yet happened.
 * The relevant language is "widely described". Given that almost literally every newspaper and magazine on the planet has written about Trump, "widely described" means there ought to be hundreds. One or two or five doesn't meet the requirement. I haven't seen five. I'm not sure I've seen two.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  02:18, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Overturn block per User:Sphilbrick, as "widely described" is stronger and unsourced statement than the refs support. A ref (or several) saying something...that verifies that those sources (and possibly experts that underly them) have a certain analysis of the subject. The problem on its face here is WP editors thinking it is noncontentious that, absent a WP:CONSENSUS, any one or handful of such WP:PRIMARY sources is equivalent to the WP:SYNTH secondary analysis of the available sources. But even if StAnselm is in the right here, they would do well to recognize how thin the ice might be here, and to seek admin assistance for something of this nature rather than hoping an after-the-fact analysis of their edits will go their way. DMacks (talk) 02:37, 5 July 2016 (UTC)


 * I think you're missing the point that the edit being contentious doesn't necessarily make it a BLP violation. If it were, wouldn't you expect that several very experienced editors and admins, including a sitting Arbcom member, would have recognized it as such? StAnselm had other avenues for having the material reviewed or removed. As per usual, he took the most aggressive approach, bulldozing right past the objections of other editors and a prominent, unambiguous warning. This has been an oft-repeated pattern with this editor. It would be prudent to review his block log and the numerous edit warring warnings that he's received in the past few years before recommending the block be lifted. - MrX 02:38, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

I don't think quibbling over how the sources are paraphrased is the same as a BLP violation. While the wording may need some tweaking it is an accurate summary of the sources. In fact the very sources in question call him a lot worse than that. BLP exemptions rely on other people interpreting the BLP policy like you do, when several other editors disagree with the interpretation of that policy then the exemption will not be reliable.

What I do think is important is that I don't think StAnselm has any intention of continuing to push their position by reverting further. It is based on that crucial fact that I have unblocked them early. <b style="color:Indigo">HighInBC</b> Need help? 13:08, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

This does seem to be a violation and so I will endorse the block. Mr Ernie (talk) 20:49, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Violation of 1RR by an account that is not even permitted to edit on this article, WP:ARBPIA3. Makeandtoss (talk) 23:00, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

I am glad this report happened so I could raise the following issues, I call on the board of editors to look into the editing history by Makeandtoss on Mudar Zahran page, 1-He has deleted a huge chunk of the original article multiple times despite it had several reliable sources, this could be easily found if you go further through the edit history of the page. Of course the parts he edited several times without any proper reason or cause were pro-Zahran. 2-He has entered negative information against Zahran using non-reliable sources, such as Ammonnews which is a known pro-Jordan's regime's site, and on top, the Arabtimes.com, the most read in US, has described that site as run by a Jordanian intelligence collonel, he also used three unknown, least read, Jordanian sites to support his edit, a huge violation of Wikiepdia's rules. 3-When one of the editors/users tried to even state that Ammonnews was unreliable, Makeandtoss deleted the entire comment and kept what he wanted, the version he likes that is. 4-In one part in the edit history, Makeandtoss describes reliable Israeli media as Zionist/Israeli propaganda. This exhbits bias. 5-If you read the edit history well, you will see he has used unreliable and unknown Jordanian sites to describe Mudar Zahran as an Israeli mossad agent, something that could have ended up causing physical harm to Zahran, and above all, is pure trashing of the biography of a living person and is against the guidelines of wikipedia rules. 6-I call on all of you to view the entire edit history, Makeandtoss does break the rules. Thanks JordanianExpert — Preceding unsigned comment added by JordanianExpert (talk • contribs) 23:09, 4 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Arab Times (US) once claimed that King Abdullah II of Jordan is a serial killer. Here's the article, anyone interested can enjoy the style of the website and the amusing content. So if you consider "Arab Times" "reliable", then I am sorry to inform you that no one is going to take you seriously. Makeandtoss (talk) 23:20, 4 July 2016 (UTC)


 * What a mess., you need to make that argument about the Arab Times on WP:RSN, and I will tell you that if a paper gets something wrong, that doesn't automatically make them unreliable. , I really encourage you to stop yelling and to make sure you're logged in properly when you start editing. You've now both been warned on your talk pages about the Discretionary Sanctions, and I'm going to leave it at that for now--I'll leave it for the next admin to decide if JordanianExpert needs to punished for violating 1RR which I don't know they knew about.

 * Hello All, I am new, I am not sure I am doing this even right, so, if I am mistaken, please advise me on how to do things and where, and I have to admit Wikipedia could me MORE user-friendly. I am here reporting @Makeandtoss. He has a history of vandalizing “Mudar Zahran” article page. Today, he reloaded, added, a story claiming Mudar Zahran owed money to a bank. The source he uses, Ammonnews, is a yellow journalism, least-reliable site that is not even a considered news source, and on top has a history of faking up stories, including a recent case where Ammonnews made up a whole fake story about The Independent newspaper, further more Arabtimes.com confirms the editor of the site is a Jordanian intelligence colonel. Also, to support his claim, @Makeandtoss adds three more sources which are junk blogger, not even news sites, that have just copied and pasted the original source, Ammonnews. Please, this is below Wikipdia’s stadards and in fact a violation, you should either ban Makeandtoss from editing that page for Mudar Zahran, or allow us ALL to edit it, or simply protect the page, what @Makeandtoss has done for months is trashing the page and attacking everyone who edits it in favor or balance, also, in the history of editing, I have seen he has deleted entire sections which were using very reliable English language sources, this is vandalism, Please stop this fiasco, ALSO, I am trying to report Makeandtoss here, and I am not sure I am doing it right == Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion ==


 * Ammon news published an article with a picture of the trials' requisition in the official Gazette. Is this also photoshop? Or a conspiracy by the intelligence? Or a conspiracy by the government?

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: he reverted my 3 revert warning which I gave him on this third revert and called it harassment which is uncivil

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: yes I tried to resolve it but he kept on testing waters on different text each time after failing in consensus

Comments: I have tried to resolve the dispute on talkpage within wikipedia rules. Earl King Jr. failed to get consensus. Each time he changed a different bit of text to make the article into political natural without sources. I said this on talk that he was inferring something sources were not saying and making it WP:SYNTH. He discarded my warning not to break rules when he reached 3 reverts and called it harassment which is uncivil. He did not get consensus for more edits. His edits got reverted so he amended a meagerly different part of the article. He has violated 3RR rule mentioned as: "An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page—whether involving the same or different material—within a 24-hour period. An edit or a series of consecutive edits that undoes other editors' actions—whether in whole or in part—counts as a revert."

He has stopped replying on talkpage and even when he was replying, he was reverting along and along. He has made 5 reverts in 24 hours first 3 reverts are breaking rules of biographies of living people because he used WP:SYNTH. He is deeply involved in editing [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Earl_King_Jr.&offset=&limit=500&target=Earl+King+Jr. The Zeitgeist Movement] not the first time he is breaking rules, a movement related to Peter Joseph, and also breaking edit war rules slowly over there. He should be blocked from wikipedia to enforce rules he is breaking by changing different part of text each time for similar opinion. --Slicape (talk) 09:28, 6 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment Strange series of events. ((talk)User:Slicape) now reporting edit warring creates an account a few days ago that appears to be single purpose Slicape which is stridently pro a certain subject. Then gets excited about ordinary editing and brings non existent violations to this board. Several days before this series of events another very adamant pro Zeitgeist/Peter Joseph editor is barred from editing, blocked for a year . No idea whether this is the same person but it sounds like the same person in style and substance . It is a stretch to assume a real new user is going to jump onto a board like this from starting an account a few days ago. Earl King Jr. (talk) 05:50, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

What are you going on about? I never edited Zeitgeist movement. My edits on Peter Joseph are NOT EVEN about this movement, they are only about the bio. Just because I am a new user does not mean I dont know how to use the search option to find where to report some one breaking rules and it does not mean I never heard of wikipedia before. You can keep on making assumptions, will this justify your breaking of 3 revert rule? I dont think so. Sandbox was created automatically with all that do not edit below this line when I accessed and saved it. I did not write a single word in it. Each time you think some one is not sharing your options, are you going to use an excuse that only you believe in to break wikipedia rules? Real nice. You are making poor excuses to justify a petty revert that he was a "political" activist vs he was not a political activist with nothing to do with your deeply involved dispute where YOU are involved, not me. I was just passing by and you engaged me. Not cool to revert every edit on a wikipedia article you are involved in. You have reverted 5 times in a day. I request administrators of this board to take action on that because I AM discussing on talkpage, he is NOT fully participating and also reverting each time. Slicape (talk) 07:50, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Slicape only appears to have 3 edits to the article, all reverts. . The article is subject to AE sanctions. Slicape should probably spend time on other, less contentious topic areas. A new account that shows up only for reverts, drama boards and knows all the rules is not typical. A page/topic ban for 3 months is likely the best remedy. --DHeyward (talk) 08:20, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for telling me about the sanctions. I did not know about them before. Can you tell me what the sanctions on the article are? I AM spending time on other articles. This is the only one where some one reverted me back even when my purpose was to object on a very minor reference of politicizing the biography without a valid source. I am discussing on talkpage. That is within the rules of wikipedia and I think knowing basic rules of a website before editing is to be commended not to be surprised on. If I was wrong, and earl was right it will still be unfair to suggest ban for me because I was told of sanctions on article just now. I did only make three reverts not any more. But I have read that more than 3 reverts get your account blocked. Why is Earl King Jr. allowed to make 5 reverts with no action? That would not be fair now. I am discussing my revert on talkpage but have not received a satisfying reply to my objection. Slicape (talk) 08:30, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Diff of edit warring / 1RR warning:

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:

Comments:

Discretionary sanctions are currently in effect on this article with a 1RR rule. The editor was warned by a 3rd editor that discretionary sanctions are in effect, and acknowledged them before the 1RR violation occurred.CFredkin (talk) 19:34, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Response: The first edit cited above was the Sarah Bard quote. It's unrelated to the other two edits. CFredkin including that is an attempt manufacture a more-impressive list of edits.
 * The second edit cited above was a restoration of a connection between a Trump tweet and the white supremacist forum that it came from, despite it being well-sourced. CFredkin made a blatant attempt to erase that connection, and made that edit unilaterally while a discussion of the section in question was still ongoing.
 * The third edit cited above was a re-ordering of the information that was already in the paragraph, after a rewrite of the section by MelanieN. I mistakenly didn't remove it from the end of the paragraph, as I had not noticed it there. MelanieN agreed with my re-ordering, as seen here.
 * I would additionally submit that after CFredkin posted to my talk page threatening me with sanctions, he did not reply to my response. I would also like to point out that he deleted his many conflicts and discussions of edit wars with other editors from his talk page with this edit, and this edit, and this edit and this edit, and this edit, and that's just from the first page of his user talk page history.
 * In short, my edits were in the interest of improving the page, and did not violate 1RR. CFredkin is here to push a biased point of view in every single article he edits, and is attempting to intimidate me into not restoring content that he feels portrays Donald Trump negatively. Rockypedia (talk) 20:03, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * All the diffs provided above meet the definition of reversion at WP:3rr, also the warning by the 3rd editor (referenced above) specifically called out that the sanctions require firm consensus on the talk page of this article before reinstating any edits that have been challenged (via reversion).CFredkin (talk) 20:13, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * That's total falsehood. I'm the one who challenged your edit; specifically, the removal of the Trump tweet connection to the white supremacists' meme. If you reverted that edit, then and only then would 1RR be violated. You've instead chosen to try to get the material stricken via this noticeboard rather than discussion and consensus on the talk page. Rockypedia (talk) 20:17, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

I'll also note that the contentious content remains in the article in violation of the terms of the sanctions, despite Rockypedia having been given the opportunity to self-rv prior to this complaint being filed.CFredkin (talk) 20:29, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * This is again a mischaracterization of the situation. I did not add the content that you've objected to. You removed it, and I added it back in, and then provided another reliable source. Since you knew you couldn't delete it again without triggering sanctions against yourself, you chose to manufacture an accusation of a violation here. Given your extensive experience with edit  warring, with others, it's clear what you're trying to accomplish here. Rockypedia (talk) 20:34, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

As an observer to this process: I was the one who warned Rockypedia, and I personally do not feel that the links here constitute a violation of 1RR. Here is my analysis:
 * The first link: I don't know why CFredkin chose to combine three edits into that link, because the edit in question is this single link, where Rockypedia restored a sentence that I had deleted. That was the cause of my warning to him, which he acknowledged and has IMO has respected.
 * The second link is unrelated to the first. Again, CFredkin has combined several edits in this one link; the edit in question should be this one . In it, Rockypedia reverted some changes by CFredkin and restored an earlier version. The change involves where in the paragraph to place the information about the source of the image. I should add that CFredkin did not attempt to discuss his change before making it.
 * The third link, again, confusingly combines three edits but presumably refers to this edit, where he restored some information that he mistakenly thought had been deleted from the article (it was actually just in a different place in the article). --MelanieN (talk) 20:41, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

I'll also note that Rockypedia hasn't even acknowledged that he violated 1rr. My understanding is that there's a bright line regarding violation of 3rr (or 1rr in this case). If that's not the case, let's say so and everyone can act accordingly.CFredkin (talk) 21:29, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I haven't acknowledged it because I haven't violated 1rr. I don't really make a habit of trying to accuse people of things they haven't done, and so I don't know the protocol for such an instance, but I would hope that there's some punishment for your completely unfounded insinuations - it appears that your previous one week block for sockpuppetry didn't dissuade you from bad behavior in the future. Nevertheless, I assure you that your bullying tactics won't be effective here. Rockypedia (talk) 01:13, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

After further discussion offline with MelanieN, I agree that there are probably extenuating circumstances here. I'm not sure what the procedure is for this, but I'd like to withdraw this complaint.CFredkin (talk) 04:51, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

+ another revert after posting here.--TMCk (talk) 16:35, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Im on my phon at work and cant format this proprly until I get home. On the talk page I read the referenced Wikipedia rules, commented on them and altered my edits in accordance with them. It is preposterous to claim that the official statute of LA's gun laws as posted on the official state website are "original research" instead it is the very definition of a primary source. The media introduced a partial definition of "open carry" making the full legal definition relevant. Per the talk page I continually modified the edit to state only the pure facts of the law with no direct or implied application to this case; the facts if open and concealed carry are plainly stated and nothing more. The argument against my edits is that they claim only news articles directly pertaining to the shooting are admissable as sources and that the laws discusswd are irrelevant. The edits I am undoing are deliberate attempts to remove unbiased facts that are properly cited to primary sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theyoyomaster (talk • contribs)

 * Comment Just drawing attention to the filer's misleading claims of having tried to 'discuss it on the talk page': this (109) is merely an old page revision (an edit-summary is not an attempt to discuss!); this (110) is just a section header where no-one including has attempted to initiate a discussion; and (111) is merely the TP history page.

I've tried to work collaboratively with this editor, but his edit summaries such as this and this set a negative tone.

 * Reported user comments:

I do not understand why he reporting me now, or even reporting me in the first place, all I tried to do is to place a Billboard chart on the article, but this editor always condemns my edits, like he is restricting it, he is always monitoring the Kodak Black article, and a lot of the edits other editors add to contribute, this editor goes out and undo them. He says here if you read through it, that the chart is "fairly useless", which clearly it is not, and I have proof on that talk page to back up my claim, I think that this user does not know how to write articles correctly, since he blatantly removes edits with no hesitation, but that is my personal opinion, and there is another editor on that same talk page that made earlier comments about how this editor is making inappropriate edits, so again I am still confused to why this editor has reported me since I haven't done anything wrong, just a regular editor trying to improve the article. Thank you for your understanding. Xboxmanwar (talk) 21:20, 6 July 2016 (UTC)


 * This edit, made yesterday after notifying this editor of a report of edit warring, is typical of the challenge of working collaboratively with this editor. Magnolia677 (talk) 09:39, 7 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Explain to me how you haven't also been edit warring on this page? Because I see at least four reverts in 24 hours that you've performed. -- Laser brain  (talk)  17:30, 7 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Because the editor made 30 edits in two days, and none of my reverts were to the same edit. My edits were based in policy (I often added a link to the policy in my edit summary) and I left talk page messages.  I also don't think editors should let other editors run wild on an article out of fear of being called an edit warrier.  This article definitely has the potential to grow, and already gets over 100,000 views per month.  I just feel that edits should be properly sourced, and empty charts which will probably never be filled in should be avoided. I've tried to discuss this on the talk page, and certainly have no history of edit warring. Thank you again.  Magnolia677 (talk) 21:26, 7 July 2016 (UTC)


 * You don't necessarily need to follow the policy all the time, I understand that your trying to have good faith and try to go with the policy, but you can't be restrictive, always undoing edits of mine and other editors, you aren't the only one trying to edit the article, and undoing a lot of editing other editors made just to go with the policy gets annoying, and your "feeling that empty charts which should never be filled" isn't something that should be worried about, for example, if a song is released as a single, but it doesn't chart, you can't just be like "Oh, I guess we don't need this if it didn't chart", no, you can't "feel" that it isn't necessary, but it was still released as a single. Thank you. Xboxmanwar (talk) 21:43, 7 July 2016 (UTC)


 * 3RR is more than three reverts in a 24 hour period. It doesn't matter if you are reverting different material with each one. It's any edit that undoes another editor's work. There are very few blanket excuses for reverting (such as BLP violations or obvious vandalism). So if you're calling for blocks, you might as well be blocked at the same time. Or, the two of you can agree to discuss your differences on the article talk page and we can close this. -- Laser brain  (talk)  23:03, 7 July 2016 (UTC)


 * I request for this notice to be closed without warning, thank you. Xboxmanwar (talk) 23:09, 7 July 2016 (UTC)


 * That edit that the editor has stated shouldn't be used against me, it's common sense that if Kodak Black was to preform with Lil Uzi Vert, but Kodak was incarcerated, but the preformances still went on, then obviously its going to go on without him. The editor claims that its "unsourced", but it doesn't need a source, obviously the tour company that is managing the tour didn't want to be embarrassed by the fact that Kodak got locked up and he supposedly had shows to do, so they quietly remove him from the tour info to cover it up, they did no press release, nothing. The official tour website website removed Kodak from the tour, as he was previously on there. Again, I am still confused as to why I'm being reported, and I hope this issue gets resolved soon, with nothing against me, because I still believe I have done nothing wrong. Thank you again. Xboxmanwar (talk) 19:36, 7 July 2016 (UTC)


 * You are probably correct. Kodak Black is still in jail and that's probably why the tour promoters quietly removed information from their webpage, but when you add your personal interpretation of an event to Wikipedia without a source, someone will probably come along and remove it with an edit summary "removing unsourced content" as I did. This doesn't mean you have to revert their edit; it means you should find a source to support yours. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:36, 7 July 2016 (UTC)


 * If that "someone" comes along and removes it, just let it happen, you don't need to clean it up, because you know that its true and there is no problem with it. If there were "someone" in the future to come and mess with it, then it could be dealt with later. Xboxmanwar (talk) 21:43, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

I will instead pursue dispute resolution regarding this matter. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 01:25, 8 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Closing then, thank you. I'm not saying nothing has gone wrong here, but WP:3O or an RFC are viable alternatives., if consensus among other editors develops that your edits are incorrect, I expect you to abide by that consensus. -- Laser brain  (talk)  10:35, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Comments:

This user has continued to add inappropriate content to the linked page after being reverted several times. (Reasons for the reverts by other editors were given in their edit summaries, all four of which are seen in the edit history here.) He has been warned of unconstructive editing at his talk page, which he then blanked. Here's the diff for my warning and his blanking. Note that he has been warned several other times for various topics in the past, as seen in his talk page's history. Note that the article is a currently-developing event, so it is very hard to "screen" questionable edits. Gestrid (talk) 19:52, 8 July 2016 (UTC) He may also be violating WP:NOTHERE, as he seems to have no interest in listening to others' reasons for reverting his edits on the linked page. As I said before, he also blanked a warning I gave him earlier today. -- Gestrid (talk) 20:05, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
 * ANI seems like a better place for this to be honest. Your warning of 3RR wasn't the clearest either, but I agree this user is being disruptive to the point of NOTHERE.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) Please &#123;&#123;re&#125;&#125; 20:07, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Allright, I'll open an ANI instead. I was going to do that, but another editor suggested AN3RR would be better. -- Gestrid (talk) 20:26, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I did, because this guy has mostly been blanking the same portions of text despite these edits being undone. But I guess ANI will be better now at this point. Also, as a little afterthought, it appears this guy has blanked his talk page yet again. Parsley Man (talk) 20:34, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Since they're continuing they're behavior, I'll be happy to add evidence to the ANI thread.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) Please &#123;&#123;re&#125;&#125; 20:32, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Comment Per the suggestion of, an ANI discussion has been opened here. -- Gestrid (talk) 21:05, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Already violated WP:3RR. No way to deal with this user. Immediate solution needed. Charles Turing (talk) 20:51, 8 July 2016 (UTC) User:Charles Turing initiated edit wars. He was reverting without reaching a consensus on talk page, based on his P.O.V, ignoring the WP:FILMPOSTER in all his 10 reverts (again a blatant breech of WP:3RR by the person who reported it). MesopotemianVulture (talk) 21:18, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

To administrators, I know I deserve a block for edit warring along with User:MesopotemianVulture. I couldn't help it. I will try not to repeat it. --Charles Turing (talk) 22:42, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: n/a, Dingowasher has been blocked for edit warring in the past, and the behavior of both parties was egregious

Comments:

This is a pro-forma report for the record, as I've already blocked both parties for edit warring. I encountered this article when reported the IP editor for vandalism at WP:AIV. The IP editor appears to have been trying to explain their edits via the use of edit summaries, which means it wasn't a case of obvious vandalism. However, because both editors were disrupting the page,, Dingowasher for 36 hours because of a prior block history for edit warring, the IP editor for 24 hours as a first offense. –Darkwind (talk) 11:00, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
