User being reported:

Removal of the sourced statement, "[The late WWI Bentley BR2] represented the peak of rotary engine development" Re-instated by multiple editors.

This is an almost literal quote (they use "pinnacle") from one of the best-known RS authors in the field. It is hard to contest that.

Diffs of the user's reverts:
 * 1) " Really? That's an opinion." (tagging as "dubious")
 * 2) "removing unsupportable statement. Since rotary engines are still being designed and built, one built during WWI seems unlikely to have been the 'peak' of anything."
 * 3) "Since the article includes Wankel engines, no, I don't. You seem to fail to understand the unsupportable nature of the statement. Rotaries, by your narrow definition, were used well into the 30"
 * 4) "That's an opinion from an encyclopedia. It's not what the article says and it is not supportable. Take it to talk and make your case for inclusion. You're just repeating it. You do a good job of stalking me, I'll give you that. Doesn't make you right"
 * 5) "First, Wankels are Rotary engines by most definitions. That's not the issue. The issue is putting somebody's opinion that a certain British engine is the 'peak' where others from any other country might rightfully argue that's VERY Anglo-centric."
 * 6) "The Wankel is a red herring. For the record, this was neither the last nor the best rotary engine, therefore the opinion expressed in this statement is unsupportable and false. It stays out. Please make the case in talk instead of re-adding."

They seem confused. Are they including Wankels or not? The article specifically and very clearly excludes them, as does the source. I don't believe they have any point here, they just like arguing. I encountered this same editor at Shotgun slug (Talk:Shotgun_slug, WP:ANEW (Blocked for 48 hours), Block log/User:Winged Brick ) and they are obdurate to say the least. They clearly have zero respect for other RS, only their personal opinion matters.

Others commenting at Talk:Rotary engine. Lots of IDHT.

Comments:

I removed the content because it was not the last rotary engine and saying it was the 'best' is an opinion. Just because somebody says the opinion in a source does not make it a fact nor is it supportable. I used the Wankel as just one type of rotary that has come since the engine in mention. If you want to split hairs, then the Wankel isn't the same type of rotary, but the fact remains that there were engines after it, there were better rotary engines in my opinion, and saying that one was the 'peak' or 'pinnacle' does not make it so. The fact that you could not understand the content on "Shotgun Slug" and you don't seem to understand what 'peak' or 'pinnacle' mean or don't mean does not make you right. It was only AFTER you stopped edit warring that the Shotgun Slug editing came to a consensus that the word "rotate" was a reasonable substitute for "spin". Instead of discussing, you just slap reverts on my edits and don't address the language being used. --Winged Brick (talk) 22:52, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
 * With that many reverts it doesn't even matter if you're right or wrong. When your block is over you may argue your point on the talk page. Drmies (talk) 00:15, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

Comments:

1990'sguy is creator of the article, and created it as a POV piece praising this creationist propaganda (see the reception section). 1990'sguy has dominated it since creating it -- see editing stats for article. 1990'sguy is yet also yet another christian/creationist advocate and the edit warring to remove negative content is unsurprising. Jytdog (talk) 21:02, 1 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Regarding Jytdog's personal attacks against me, the article that I created is NOT "a POV piece praising this creationist propaganda." From the start, I included several negative reviews of the movie, and I strongly support adding additional negative reviews of the movie. Of course, I did also find reviews from YEC and YEC-sympathetic organizations that liked the film, and I think I made clear that those organizations were such. It seems to me that Jytdog doesn't want the article to have anything that resembles positive reviews of a YEC movie (even though I included several negative ones).


 * Let me also note that Wikipedia editors overwhelmingly (a 4:1 ratio) supported keeping the article and thought that, even if it had problems, that they were not serious enough to delete: Articles for deletion/Is Genesis History?.


 * Regarding the substance of this dispute, while I agree that the Rotton Tomatoes's "consensus statement" and the included ratings from professional reviewers is fine to cite, I do have a problem with the audience scores, as anybody can vote for them. Voluntary polls and not scientific and are not reliable, and that is what the Rotton Tomato audience score is. I am strictly following WP:MOSFILM: "Do not include user ratings submitted to websites such as the Internet Movie Database or Rotten Tomatoes, as they are vulnerable to vote stacking and demographic skew."


 * Jytdog is blatantly going against WP:MOSFILM and is throwing false attacks against me (I make no apology for my personal views, but I am not "pov-pushing", and I make sure that I adhere to NPOV on WP. Believe me, if I were a pov-pusher, my edits and articles would look a lot different than what Jytdog is complaining about. --1990&#39;sguy (talk) 21:16, 1 October 2017 (UTC)


 * BTW, Jytdog's confirmation of his "attempt to resolve" the dispute on the talk page is, frankly, laughable, as he made the comment after he reverted on IGH for the last time and immediately before starting the ANI discussion. --1990&#39;sguy (talk) 21:29, 1 October 2017 (UTC)


 * FYI, the substance of the info in dispute is being discussed here simultaneously: Talk:Is Genesis History?/Archive 1 --1990&#39;sguy (talk) 21:59, 1 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Per WP:BRD, 1990's guy's first revert had some serious reasons and one would expect no more reverts, unfortunately this was pretty unnecessary. Knowing that 3 reverts have been made on both sides, I would recommend temporary full protection. Capitals00 (talk) 00:09, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * 1990sguy went past 3 to 4 in order to "win". I restrained myself. I was the one who opened discussion on the talk page, not them.   Their edit warring was purely about "winning". Jytdog (talk) 00:17, 2 October 2017 (UTC)


 * "Winning" was never my intention, and I find it interesting how you use quotes, as if I used the term myself (I never have, and I don't intend to). Your reverts were in blatant violation of clear Wikipedia guidelines. If you added negative reviews from professional reviewers or scientific/reliable audience polls (as opposed to the voluntary response poll from R.T. that MOSFILM explicitly tells us not to use), I would not have challenged it. I linked to WP:MOSFILM when telling you my rationale for reverting. The only other people to blatantly disregard Wikipedia guidelines even after being shown them are vandals and pov-pushers. --1990&#39;sguy (talk) 00:49, 2 October 2017 (UTC)


 * And contrary to Jytdog's edit, I never removed negative reviews of the movie (and no, removing a non-scientific and unreliable voluntary response internet poll does NOT equate to "removing negative content from the article" -- if you would have added a professional review or a scientific/reliable poll, I would have accepted it without question). And regarding the movie not getting too many reviews, just look at the AfD. --1990&#39;sguy (talk) 01:01, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Ahem: here. It was restored by someone else, here. Feel free to strike your bolded "never". Jytdog (talk) 03:57, 2 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Update: Due to the 3RR issues involved in my following Wikipedia guidelines, I self-reverted. However, someone really should remove the paragraph, as its only purpose is to promote an unreliable/unscientific voluntary response internet poll from R.T., something which WP:MOSFILM explicitly tells us not to do. --1990&#39;sguy (talk) 03:57, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Well done. I removed the bit you were actually objecting to. Jytdog (talk) 03:58, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

-I was only trying to fix a mistake, only after I first posted to the talk page 'Free speech rallies, Portland- Problem', but no one responded. The mistake was that someone had put information about an August 26,2017 rally into the section about the April 29, 2017 rally. After waiting for the person to correct it, I made the correction. -The change diff was based on the suggestion of Darkness Shines in the TALK Page, section 'Organize the Rally section, comments'. It was his suggestion to organise the rallies by 'area' and so I did. -As for the BLP, I was only pointing out what reporters and journalist were saying and not my point of view.

 * When you provide a source saying Gibson deliberately provokes violence I'll happily withdraw this. Darkness Shines (talk) 02:41, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * So this is all about Patriot Prayer's provocative rallies and protests? This is well documented.  With so many 'different' and reliable sources saying it, why do you want this fact erased?  What POV are you pushing Darkness?C. W. Gilmore (talk) 02:47, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Yawn, read what I wrote, all you are doing here is showing you engage in OR, which leads to BLP violations Darkness Shines (talk) 02:52, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * There is a reason why David Neiwert states: "Patriot Prayer is an antigovernment “Patriot” group based originally in Vancouver, Washington, and now in Portland, Oregon, that has organized a series of protests in the Pacific Northwest that have all been held in places that are established centers of liberal/left politics, all with the clear intent of attempting to provoke a violent response from far-left antifascists."C.

 * Research a little: "Joey admits he’s not some perfectly pure-of-heart missionary, that he’s also a bit of a provocateur."C. W. Gilmore (talk) 03:12, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * And this is not the place to take your issues that you don't like this or that well sourced fact. It is well documented.C. W. Gilmore (talk) 03:12, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * You do realize those are not Gibsons words right? If they were they would be in quotation marks. Darkness Shines (talk) 03:19, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The journalistic record is solid, that Joey is a provocateur and you can report me all you like.C. W. Gilmore (talk) 03:27, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

another BLP violation, David Neiwert name is not in that CNN source, hell it don't even mention the SPLC Darkness Shines (talk) 05:00, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Of course not, that is the next sentence down from the David Neiwert quote, CNN News was the citation for anti-government. I put a citation in for David Neiwert as well as someone took out the Bibliography where it was listed earlier, so everything should now be well source.C. W. Gilmore (talk) 05:35, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

Another revert, this time reinserting the BLP vio I had just removed Darkness Shines (talk) 05:23, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * @User talk:Darkness Shines, you asked for citations and went through all the work looking them up, only to have you delete the entire section. Why, because that section said:  Patriot Prayer rallies have been held with "the clear intent of attempting to provoke a violent response from far-left antifascists".  Well it is what David Neiwert wrote and it is well documented.C. W. Gilmore (talk) 05:31, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

another revert, same BLP issues I reckon Darkness Shines (talk) 05:27, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * No it is the same revert, only I had to add the citation for David Neiwert's article so everthing is well sourced.C. W. Gilmore (talk) 05:37, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

Another revert, unless someone can find David Niewerts name in there it is also OR a continuation of the BLP vio Darkness Shines (talk) 06:03, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The line reads: 'It has also described it as an "anti-government" group.' -And the source says 'An anti-government "free speech" group called "Patriot Prayer"' You keep looking for problems that are not there.C. W. Gilmore (talk) 06:16, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Where in that CNN source is Niewert or the SPLC mentioned? Darkness Shines (talk) 06:28, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Where is 'Niewert or the SPLC mentioned' in the sentence that CNN is used as the source? You keep looking for issues and problems that are not there.C. W. Gilmore (talk) 06:45, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Sheesh, CIR, Where in the CNN source is Niewert or the SPLC mentioned? Darkness Shines (talk) 06:47, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * You are getting confused with the sentence before this one that cites CNN. ThanksC. W. Gilmore (talk) 07:09, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * No, "It has also described it as an "antigovernment" group' cited to CNN who is the "it" at the start of that sentence then? Darkness Shines (talk) 07:30, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * That would be CNN, as CNN is the one listed on the source as the reference. Remember, this paragraph starts with the BBC, then goes to the SPLC journalist David Niewert, then on to CNN, before finishing with a quote from Joey Gibson.  You keep looking for problems that are not there.C. W. Gilmore (talk) 10:10, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

A seemingly minor item on the coloring of counties based on the winner in a particular election. User claims neutrality concerns, but edits have been done one elections in which both the Republican and Democratic Parties have won every county in the state. Seems to me that if there is a real concern about this, county results sections and county maps should also be removed from pages. Also important to note that almost all (if not all) NJ election results pages that include county-level results have the counties colored based on winner in the table. 74.102.98.6 (talk) 03:34, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

Comments:

This is part of a larger online harassment of edits I have made inspired by the Wiki What? series. Unfortunately I engaged the last time this happened. This time I am going to ANI. The attacking behavior of this editor by filibustering and throwing Wiki:RULEZ is hurting the encyclopedia. I am not the first person to experience this. It needs to stop. I don't care how "valued" he is for his contributions. BrillLyle (talk) 23:15, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * There is no edit warring.  (the dif provided as mine for the Conover article above, as not mine, btw)  There is:
 * the OP adding refspam and an incorrect interpretation of BLP here
 * me removing the BLP violating advice here and the spammed-in ref in my next, serial diff here.
 * The OP restored the BLP-violating advice here, and I removed it again, gave them an edit war warning here, and opened a discussion on the talk page, here and here for each of the two issues.


 * My concern is the refspamming of Wiki What. It is not important to me who is doing it.  See COIN discussion about the editor originally doing the REFSPAM and this RSN discussion about the ref being spammed.  There was also a BLP discussion about a previous celebrity on the show, discussed at BLPN here.


 * The OP has appointed herself champion of the show. That is their decision. The conflict is not personal but about the ref and the spamming of it into WP.-- Jytdog (talk) 23:23, 1 October 2017 (UTC)


 * This is pretty clear here. Jytdog is conducting a personal vendetta against Wiki What? based on one article from a fringe industry publication that he seems to think says that Esquire magazine is not a notable source and that this is some sort of Machiavellian scheme with a harmful agenda to Wikipedia. It's not. It's actually just a funny comedic Wikipedia positive series. -- BrillLyle (talk) 23:29, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * "Thanks for your notes. We are already talking on the talk page. Your claims about harassment are dead wrong; I am following the additions of Wiki What to WP. If you are doing them, then I am going to see those edits and react to them. It is not about you. I already wrote that at the article talk page. Jytdog (talk) 23:08, 1 October 2017 (UTC)"


 * No. You don't get the right to say that this is just isolated to the Talk page of one article. You are taking a personal agenda and conducting an online campaign against Wiki What? It's not okay. Do not try to manage my response or my concerns. It is patronizing behavior, and I know your pattern of filibustering edits and cowing them -- turning legitimate concerns over unconstructive editing so that it pushes back negatively on the person bringing up the violation of conduct which you display. This is unacceptable behavior. BrillLyle (talk) 23:33, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Also, I know you must derive some sort of pleasure or satisfaction in doing this. It is harassment and your behavior is attacking, aggressive, and nasty. I am doing nothing wrong here. You are. BrillLyle (talk) 23:33, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I am sorry you are taking this so personally and reading such negative things in. There is medical content I really wanted to get to today, and this refspam stuff is a distraction. Not joyful. Jytdog (talk) 23:39, 1 October 2017 (UTC)


 * This is not personal. On any level. This is about your behavior, not you as a person.
 * Ironically I am only the second person today to experience this unpleasant experience with Jytdog. See above
 * Also there is a protracted history of this behavior. Fundamental question for the ANI -- why is he allowed to be an editor when he is in effect hurting the encyclopedia. If I was a newer editor or a casual editor, I would have abandoned editing altogether.

 * You missed a bunch of dirt in your digging -- which is behavior that makes you look really bad here, btw.
 * The thing I actually gave you the edit war warning about, was your again incorrect reading of BLP. Article subjects do not get to control their pages; and this is where I reverted you twice.  Everyone at BLPN (here, linked again) said your description of BLP - that article subjects get to control their articles - was incorrect and I tried to open a discussion at your talk page with you about that here and asked an admin to ring in, which they did.... which you didn't respond to.  I was unhappy to see you write advice contra the BLP policy in the commenting-note.  We don't dis-include a birthday because the subject doesn't want it. Jytdog (talk) 23:46, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Anyway, there is no edit warring here yet, except by you restoring the bad BLP advice and that is not ripe for this board yet (and i hope it doesn't reach there) Jytdog (talk) 23:50, 1 October 2017 (UTC)


 * There actually _IS_ edit warring here -- edit warring done by you to delete legit contributions to the page. I have stopped editing, which is what you want obviously. I took the dispute and concerns here because I am not willing to feed this madness further.
 * I did not respond to the comment you and the other editor made (at your prompt) because it is clear that engaging with you feeds the behavior you are exhibiting, and you always have to have the final word. I mean at this point I am just laughing because all of this is so absurd. It is actually quite sad that you have a larger list of transgressions that you happily reference. Again, ANI -- Why is this editor allowed to continue this agenda? -- BrillLyle (talk) 23:53, 1 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Note to Administrators – Jytdog is warning other users for edit warring when they've only reverted them once, and then this user will go and revert their edits... clearly violating WP:BRD. Either Jytdog doesn't understand what "edit warring" or WP:BRD is, or they're just ignoring them. They are clearly engaging in other editing wars. Corky Buzz by the Hornet's Nest  04:16, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * What is the deal with crazy people today? An IP made a RELTIME violating change, I reverted, a person I reckoned was the same did the same thing again, and I again reverted and warned the person. Crikey. Jytdog (talk) 04:36, 2 October 2017 (UTC)


 * It's very strange to see how Jytdog brings up the issue of "crazy people" and then attempts to reframe his behavior into something that is rationally and/or reasonably explained. And then adding a "fun" British interjection to spread his hands as if he goes in peace and innocence. I'll say it -- it's a little "crazy." All of it.
 * I am more than a little concerned about the mental health issues displayed here. There's something very wrong with the intensity, duration, and consistency of this editor's behavior over time (which he points to as if a badge of honor). And now there is a backpedaling of innocence and a sudden attempt at collegiality when he is being called out for his behavior. Like he cares about his impact on others or on the encyclopedia as a whole. It's all smoke and mirrors. It's all bull-twaddle. Let's focus on the patterned behavior of aggressive destructive-to-the-community editing and filibustering.
 * If ANI doesn't do something about this, then the continuous loss of engagement by editors like me is blood on your hands. There are solutions here. Please implement them. -- BrillLyle (talk) 16:12, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * There's something very wrong with the intensity, duration, and consistency of this editor's behavior over time... Uh huh. And after reading the above, may I suggest you invest in a mirror? --Calton | Talk 18:04, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh good. I see what you're doing here. Blame the victim. Another consistent methodology. Another way Wikipedia fails fellow editors just trying to add content. Well done (not). -- BrillLyle (talk) 20:38, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

To admins: Please consider your action carefully. The writer of this report against a registered user is an IP-based editor. So the proper protective action would not be to protect the article from IP-based users (which would only hinder improvements from the IP editor) and allow registered (at least auto-confirmed) to continue adding inaccurate statements, but to block the registered user being reported for edit-warring (even if the warrior hasn't yet reached 3RR, because as you may remember, edit-warring can be happening before 3RR).

, Wikipedia has a rule that sources aren't needed for every single statement that can ever be made in an articlethings that have been common knowledge for a long time. While old big computers had used some form of RAM long ago, even with the advent of common desktop personal computers 40 years ago, that's plenty long for RAM's main function to have become common knowledge (with the exception of a few dull editors, etc.)

As for supposedly "no violation": Why is it that when an IP such as I reports an account holder for edit-warring that doesn't break 3RR, you admins just ignore the rule that's stated even right in here that people can still be found guilty of it even without breaking 3RR, but when it comes to an account holder reporting me for edit-warring even without breaking the 3RR part of it, you'll still block me (somewhere in this range) or protect the article for a time? Or in other words, why can't you admins be consistent and make up your minds on enforcing against sub-3RR warrring regardless of if the reporter is an account holder or just an IP? 2600:100E:B131:2DD4:E04D:72FE:96AF:B5B7 (talk) 12:41, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Upon his/her recent return, reported user wages a one-person edit-war to overturn the results of an RfC which conclusively decided that Turkey should not be described as a democracy at the lead.

Dr.  K.  15:08, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Um there were at MOST three reverts and then other regular edits that we're not reverts and are not covered under 3RR (and we're even in different SECTIONS of the article). Further that RfC was discussed with the closer and if this ABUSE continues will likely have to at least be reviewed at AN/I before the CONTENT DISPUTES can be resolved at appropriate notice boards. (At least THREE editors raosed seriously and strongly worded objections to the fact that the RfC was not based on WP:RS including the editor who helped bring the article to GA so there is more then enough here for a broader community discussion despite attempts to HARASS me, I am overall keeping my distance from WP anyway - this isn't actually a "return" and a block would be pretty pointless since I am not actively editing. I would offer to self revert (due to a mistake in my count) but the edits have been reverted anyway, and currently a discussion is open - so this pretty much feels like a lot of unwanted attention and harassment  and I am pretty fed up with toxic editing patterns, ignoring WP:RS, admins supervoting RfC discussions, etc. Pending the talk discussion, it will be some days/weeks before I restore content or file for review at AN/I (pending approval to take it to dispute resolution). So this complaint all in all Petty and rather untimely (as the last reverts have been standing for 5 hours while the issue is being discussed on talk) Seraphim System  ( talk ) 18:33, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Honestly, there is nothing more destructive to Wikipedia's mission of free and collaborative information then the rampant RACISM and BIAS evident in the majority of our articles related to TURKEY. Trolling and sockpuppetry in this topic area are rampant and the only reason it isn't under ARBCOM is because that to behavior is entirely one-sided. Instead of push back Turkey has instead banned Wikipedia and that is SAD for all the valuable resource that are lost over toxic behavior that would be policed in most topic areas. I have personally had my nationality referred to and been subject to race and religion based sockpuppetry vandalism on my talk page more then once. It is disgusting and the DOUBLE STANDARD that it is tolerated is disgusting. No one cares, and it is a joke. I don't know why I am even bothering to complain about this as if it will be taken seriously that this undermines the integrity of the entire project on a country/international level. Seraphim System ( talk ) 18:52, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

For the record in the past I have had edits reverted with the edit summary stating my nationality as justification for the revert, and I have been called a "musrat whore" by IP vandals on my talk page. Given the suspicious circumstances of the RfC and its close of a controversial/Red Flag edit over the objections of THREE established editors, it is not only going to be posted to ANI but I am also going to write to Jimmy Wales and notify editors who are involved with WikiProject Turkey. In NO WAY should Wikipedia capitulate to Erdogan's demands on content, but the quality of articles and rampant abuse in the area and also of myself as a Turkish editor being subject to sockpuppet abuse and racial slurs is UNACCEPTABLE. It seems like there are some toxic editors who really are just sitting around and waiting for me to return because they enjoy this kind of drama. It's pathetic, but I will certainly pen off a letter about the experience I have had as a Turkish editor, and also this latest RfC which was a blatant and over the line abuse and disrespect to the editors who objected. Seraphim System ( talk ) 20:34, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
 * this isn't the place to hash out your grievances. If you're being subjected to racist personal attacks, obviously we will take action if you report it. Regarding the RfC, you have every right to challenge the closure, based on the allegation that it ignored overarching consensus. It seems you could put forth a strong argument, at least, that the local consensus dismissed reliable sources as being out of touch with reality, in violation of WP:V, which clearly holds that content is included based on "verifiability, not truth", and that the closer ignored the wanton dismissal of reliable sources in favor of "the truth". You're simply going about this the wrong way. Challenge the close at AN if you feel so strongly, but, for better or worse, the consensus has been formalized, for now.

Statement by Resnjari
Apart from the character assassination, those cited examples have been taken outside their context. Three examples given by the filing editor on Wiki linking are just that with no one contesting it, , and remain in the article. Another example is a sentence shift i did in a section which no one contested and it remains. An addition about Asia/Oceania and Albanian speech in the diaspora was added to the article, as its about the Albanian language. Albanians exist in those areas etc and speak the language so i wrote a sentence for that. All these edits went uncontested and remain in the page. I find it odd that i cannot even edit the article in other areas. About the lede i did make the following edits, , , , , this issue after detailed discussion was resolved in the talkpage with other editors , and i agreed to recommendations, while the filing editor and other editor making these edits did not bother to participate and discuss matters. This edit by the filing editor cited as resolving the dispute was nothing of the sort and had to do with what the talkpage title was about. Even the editor with whom i was discussing the issue recognised my points as valid. On the Fine reference, these were two edits done by me. Balkan topics are known for POV issues. I restored the previous edit due to no sufficient reason being given apart from "scientific conclusions" of sourced content being removed. The editor had placed a sentence making a serious claim, while not providing the full reference, only placing Fine and a page number (the selected work is not even mentioned in the article). The scholar Fine produced many works, and for an editor wanting to double check and make sure, how are they supposed to do that without knowing where to look and make sure its not POV? So yes, i made those edits and in the end removed it altogether, until there is the full reference. When editing i thought at the very least it is courtesy that a full reference is placed so other editors can be confident in that edit being precise and not source falsification. I have been an editor for nearly 10 years and the above mentioned block by the filing editor was only once for 24 hours over a trivial matter.Resnjari (talk) 08:32, 5 October 2017 (UTC)


 * The editor regarding the Fine issue has only now placed a full reference by adding details that were not present previously when the edit was made the first time  though at the same time claiming otherwise and then retracted their own edit . All i ask for is a full reference so as to be precise and prevent source falsification.Resnjari (talk) 12:12, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
 * There was already a full reference of the specific book during the above reverts []. Since we have multiple inline citations further inlines for this book use the shortened form instead (author, year, page) & per Help:Shortened_footnotes: a link to the full citation is not required and off course this doesn't warrant removal. By the way most inlines in this article do not link to their full reference.Alexikoua (talk) 13:21, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Scholars such as John Fine published much in their lifetime and some academics publish in a given year a book, in addition to a journal article. On the limited details that you gave, it made other editors have to sort it out as to whether it is a particular source or not. Yet alone the difficulty for the reading public who might want to explore it further. As for the referencing in that article its not of standard in many aspects (i had to clean up that kind of referencing on the Albanians article some time back and it was no walk in the park!) with many of those small citations when one clicks not leading to a source, making an editor have to go through more than 98 footnotes on the page and a bibliography of over more than a hundred sources leaving one kind of annoyed if its not there in the end as well.Resnjari (talk) 14:00, 5 October 2017 (UTC)


 * I find your removal of cited information to be just another indication of your edit-warring, WP:BATTLE behaviour. Removing the Fine reference as well as the whole sentence it supports is nothing short of disruptive and edit-warring for the sake of edit-warring. You could just as easily have added a "failed verification" tag and left it at that. But no, in the middle of a protracted edit-war on your part, you had to remove the whole sentence. This is classic WP:BATTLE/edit-warring behaviour. Dr.   K.  15:55, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Your claims above about other edits consisting edit warring were nothing of the sort when i did wiki linking and adding a sentence on the Albanian diaspora in Australia/New Zealand. No one contested this. Also agreements were made in the talkpage about the lede and infobox on my side with other editors way before this case, those who continue with a battleground mentality do not reach agreements with others after discussion yet alone other things. The only outstanding matter was the Fine referencing. I outlined the referencing issue with it being not fully cited. That whole issue with Fine could have been avoided had full referencing been done. If what i was saying was not without merit, that editor would not have later readded the information and placed the full citation, while right after removing their whole edit altogether from the page .Resnjari (talk) 01:31, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
 * This dispute belongs on Talk:Albanian language not here. Forgive me if I missed it, but I don't see a 3RR violation here, and the fact that Resnjari was alone and getting reverted by editors who acted, intentionally or not, like a tag-team complicates matters here. For anyone who isn't aware, the origins of Albanians can be a quite heated topic for both Albanians and their Balkan neighbors (Greeks, Serbs, and also Romanians for complicated Romanian-Hungarian reasons) . In linguistics the view is essentially "Albanian may have come from Illyrian, Thracian or Dacian and we don't have enough evidence to support some huge migration so we assume no huge migration, the null hypothesis, Albanian comes from Illyrian, but to be fair we cannot say this conclusively as we lack the evidence necessary for diachronic comparison". Albanian nationalists misinterpret this to mean "Albanian comes from Illyrian", their Greek counterparts routinely do the same thing, interpreting it to mean "it is a fringe view that Albanian comes from Illyrian". Resnjari's removal might have been brash but that doesn't warrant a block, imo. --Yalens (talk) 19:27, 5 October 2017 (UTC)


 * My edits stand on their merits. Your insinuations about "tag-teaming" and nationalist-based edits are nothing more than PAs. You should not cast such WP:ASPERSIONS. As far as the 3RR violation, it is obvious enough, so let the admins decide. Dr.   K.  19:50, 5 October 2017 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, I was very tired and my post was worded very badly. I have seen many of your edits and I regard you as a very good editor; I hope I haven't caused you offense. My statement about nationalist viewpoints was not about editors but the context in which they edit (i.e. in my view both sides are usually not crazy nationalist but may be afraid that the other side consists of hardcore nationalists), but I worded it in a way that leaves it open to too much interpretation, so please accept my deepest apologies. I hope we can continue to work well together like we have in the past. --Yalens (talk) 20:42, 5 October 2017 (UTC)


 * I also respect you as an editor Yalens, and I was not expecting the original comments from you. Thank you for the clarification. This area is toxic enough, sometimes things happen, but, if there is good will, there is nothing insurmountable. For sure, I will enjoy working with you in the future, as I have done in the past. Best regards. Dr.   K.  21:09, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for saying that. Cheers,--Yalens (talk) 21:21, 5 October 2017 (UTC)


 * @Yalens: Resnjari DID violate 3RR on October 3rd, and continued reverting after that. There is every reason to believe that he will continue edit-warring in this manner in the future unless sanctioned. This is exactly what blocks are for, and this is exactly why he was blocked a few months ago.  It needs to sink in to this use that edit-warring is not ok.  It's quite apparent this hasn't sunk in yet, despite the previous block. Khirurg (talk) 20:00, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
 * While I have disappointingly been watching these developments on the Albanian language, I did not interfere in the 3RR violations as I trusted the others to keep things tight from derailing. But now, your suggestion that a talk page may serve as a laundry room for whitewashing the 3RR violations, is finding me firmly opposing it. I really hope this was not what you meant and that you will correct your above comment, because the last thing we need now is to encourage 3RRs or even a 3RR version of the WP:CYCLE a and have the whole situation derail on these sensitive WP:ARBMAC-protected Balkan articles, which isn't helpful for Wikipedia. -- ❤ S ILENT R ESIDENT  ❤ 20:45, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
 * At this rate there is almost certainly far more text here on this issue than on Talk:Albanian language. Resnjari was the last person to post there and he made many concessions to Khirurg. My eyes are tired; if there was a 3RR error that's that, but aside from that, using the talk page with Resnjari clearly brings results and can help clear up misunderstandings. Maybe I'm a softie but I don't think it's that hard to see why I think this conversation should be there instead.--Yalens (talk) 21:18, 5 October 2017 (UTC)


 * I agreed to the recommendations on talkpage about the lede (and infobox) before this case was launched, so claims about some continuation are that claims. Those who have a battle ground mentality do not arrive at agreement through discussion, yet alone other things. On the Fine reference issue, the editor who placed that edit has now themselves removed it . If the edit was not without issues, would it not still be there by the editor who placed it themselves ? Other edits pinned on me in this discussion about edit warring no one contested when i did them such as those on wiki linking and adding information on the Australian/New Zealand diaspora and this case/discussion is going toward if not already at the wp:harassment and wp:witchhunt side. I do agree with the recommendation proposed by  about making the article be with a 1RR as a solution.Resnjari (talk) 01:06, 6 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Why don't we get one of you mop folks to slap a judicious WP:BALKANS DS notice on the talk page, cover the article with 1RR, and call it a night before this needs to be copy/pasted on ANI?  G M G  talk   21:16, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
 * – 48 hours for edit warring. Resnjari made four reverts on 3 October, but continues to insist they are right. Since they made another contested revert on October 5 it seems the issue is still current and has not become stale. It does not seem proper for Resnjari to make charges of 'character assassination', 'harassment' and 'battle ground mentality' in responding to a valid 3RR complaint without admitting their own role in the edit war, and without promising better behavior in the future. There was a previous edit warring block in July. This is an unfortunate lapse for an editor who has in the past often shown themselves capable of good work on contested topics.

I've been involved with this editor previously; they have a severe edit-warring complex and have been involved in edit-wars previously (resulting in blocks), where they believe (see the most recent revert) that they haven't violated any edit-warring policy because they think they're right.

IP editor inappropriately adding non-free logos to Bids for the 2022 Winter Olympics and using edit warring to re-add them each time they are removed per WP:NFCCE. Each use of a non-free file is required to be provided with a separate specific non-free use rationale per WP:NFCC and those which are not can be removed as clear violations of WP:NFCCP and also MOS:LOGO. Sometimes this a simple fix and the missing non-free use rationale can be added, but this is a more complex case since each of these files is also being used in a stand-alone article about the respective bid itself and there are hatnotes to each of these articles, so the additional use of the files is not really justified (per WP:NFLISTS, WP:NFTABLES, WP:NFCC, item 6 of WP:NFC, etc.)

Anyway, posts have been left on the IP's user talk attempting to explain this and edit sums have been left (containing relevant links) explaining why  each time the files were removed, but the IP has not been responsive in any way and continues to re-add the files. The IP has only been editing for a few days so I am aware of WP:AGF and WP:BITE, but repeating the same mistake again and again, especially after being advised that it is a mistake, is not really OK.

"Fenian /ˈfiːnɪən/ was an umbrella term for the Fenian Brotherhood and Irish Republican Brotherhood, fraternal organisations dedicated to the establishment of an independent Irish Republic in the 19th and early 20th century. The name Fenian was first applied by John O'Mahony to the members of the Irish republican group that he founded in the United States in 1848. O'Mahony, who was a Celtic scholar, named the American wing of the movement after the Fianna. In Gaelic Ireland these were warrior bands of young men who lived apart from society and could be called upon in times of war. The term Fenian is still used today, especially in Northern Ireland and Scotland, where its original meaning has widened to include all supporters of Irish nationalism. It has also been used as a demeaning term for Irish Catholics and Catholics in general in the British Isles. Irish nationalists, while honouring the 19th century Fenians, more often describe themselves as 'nationalist' or 'republican'."

Before this discussion is closed I want to put on record that Apollo The Logician and Gob Lofa are not socks of the same user. The SPI linked to by GMG showed that Apollo was most unlikely to be a sock of Gob Lofa. Furthermore, this person doesn't talk or act like Apollo The Logician or Gob Lofa. See this, for instance – lowercase heading, unsigned, completely unlike either of them. Irish nationalists are not scarce in the world. It's not necessary to label all of them as socks of an old banned user. It just muddies the waters. Scolaire (talk) 11:12, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

Striking, reverting, and removing other's comments on the talk page. Serious WP:BITE issues with a newbie as well. VQuakr (talk) 22:24, 7 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Comments:

I have attempted to close this via WP:ANRFC stating the case here and here. The reasoning behind this is here (it concludes "If an Rfc is still required, it should state a valid question that meets the guidelines.", and the matter is easily solved.) The question asked was "Should the first paragraph of the lede contain a definition of "plasma"?", when in fact, two definitions did already appear in the first paragraph, hence violating the Rfc, and secondly, the editor had not engaged in discussing the problems adequately beforehand. This same point was made by Tigaan here. - specifically "On the policy thing: I would have sworn there is a rule about RfCs that say you should ask a clear choice between multiple stated alternatives, i.e. "should we put <sentenceX> in the article" is OK but "should we talk about X" is not.".

Even more extraordinary is VQuakr has said "re, pretty poor RfC"

Surely, this is all purdent justification for the Rfc's closure, especially as it has been already open for + seven days.

I formally explained this reasoning to VQuakr here., which was then deleted with the uncivil reply "Please go read WP:BITE while you f**k off. "

When I replied to this uncivil comment (Legacypac also pointed this out here - specifically pointing out "...not addressing concerns are problematic." This was also deleted by VQuakr)  VQuakr replied "What would you know about civility?". Then asking for an example this too was deleted with the nonsensical reply "See X225."

VQuakr has also here stated to Attic Salt that "you are being trolled" and "Not all editors here are jerks, but occasionally (as is the case elsewhere on the internet) you'll come across someone who just doesn't want to be nice to newbies." (implying I'm a jerk.) These are equally uncivil.

Evidence suggests that VQuakr is avoided sensible discussion and is combative and becomes agressive when challenged. This editor VQuakr seemingly has other similar issues with cilility and WP:BATTLE. ]] with the same approach, which appears on

Notably too, there was no 3RR warning notice but was the accussation of disruptive editing

Yes, I did strike the Talk:Plasma (physics) text out, because the editor Attic Salt that instigating the Rfc stated they had retired, and clearly implied they were no longer interested in reaching consensus nor the Rfc. I'm unsure now if that decision was correct under the rules, but if it was, I acknowledge that I have to accept the conseqences. it was never my intent to avoid "to resolve dispute on article talk page:" My adequate reasoning appears throughout the Rfc request, and in the sections before and after that.

As for the issues with Attic Salt, where I have "Serious WP:BITE issues with a newbie as well.", have been mostly resolved. I had a suspicion that User:141.131.2.3 or Attic Salt was a sock, which I asked to be invesigated here.. Attic Salt was informed of this action here. User_talk:Attic_Salt (The struck text was done by me here, stating " Struck out unfair comment by me. Sorry.") VQuakr was also involved with this investigation, and the investigation link explains the creation of the initial Rfc.

I've since attempted to explain myself and the issues with Attic Salt, which was compounded and complicated by them announcing they were retiring, then deciding not to. (See discussion on section "Inexplicable behaviour" here. ) I immediately changed my whole approach after reading Attic Salt reply saying "When you accused me of being a sock puppet (though I am not), I felt deflated of enthusiasm for a bit, and so I "retired". But when I was cleared of the accusation, I changed my mind and came out of retirement." I appropriately replied "Sorry. I didn't desire to make you feel that way." then explained my actions.

Importantly too I informed VQuakr by pinging them to be aware of my response. After this, I have stated to Attic Salt, "Clearly, I was totally wrong in my initial assumptions. I sincerely extend my apologies regarding the comment on socking." 

I fear VQuakr is overstating the case against me and is glossing over many of the facts here. For the general article Plasma (physics), I reverted this twice since the 28th September or 10 days, and have made minor edits within that time.

IMO this introduction of the Rfc was unneccesary action. I've even taken purdent actions in compromise to rectify it, stating "I've just made an objective compromise with the introduction to belay these concerns without damaging the guist of the original. I think to newer version is an improvement and is more logical, and retains WP:GF. Please state further issues.".

Yet, the original discussion remains visible for all on the article's Talkpage anyway, and another Rfc can be started with a suggestion to the wording for any possible change. Arianewiki1 (talk) 01:31, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Tarook97 is just back from a 2-week block for edit warring after a report here where they removed the same image of a giraffe from the page repeatedly. The block has just run out; they have made four unrelated edits, removed yet another block notice from their own talk page, and returned to Arabs to... remove the image of the giraffe without discussion. Plainly, they are simply continuing the edit war they were blocked for two weeks ago. I'm reporting this now in the hope that it can be nipped in the bud; their behaviour has in no way changed. I appreciate it's not a 3RR violation by any means, but I'm hoping that when a user blocked for edit warring returns to immediately revert the same content once again, administrators will recognise that said user has learned nothing. Pinkbeast (talk) 01:00, 8 October 2017 (UTC)


 * "four unrelated edits", "removed yet another block notice from their own talkpage".. are you reporting me for that? Regarding Arabs, I replaced the image with a more pertinent, prominent, and informative image and did not simply "remove" it. I am more than happy to discuss the change in the talk page. Pinkbeast has been tracking every slightest move I make since August. Reverting, reporting, and joining discussions on multiple pages I edit every chance they can. Here are examples of reverts on multiple unrelated articles . They even join discussions on random articles just to undo my edits . Their WP:HOUNDING behavior in the past months is clear and this report is a perfect example of it. I only started editing seriously late March of this year, I am learning, and their behavior is only pushing me away. Tarook97 (talk) 03:44, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I sha'n't respond to the rest, this not being the venue and the accusations spurious, but it is not true when Tarook97 says they did not remove the image. It was there and then it was not, as the diff shows. This is exactly what I describe it as - a swift return after a block running out to making the same revert that they got blocked for last time.

And with regard to adding the unsourced content, writing Instead of deleting, I tagged it with citation needed. It is more productive. He has discussed his background before. It just needs a source. (diff) which is not how BLP works.

We are both over 3; i have pushed this beyond due to the BLP issue; it has been well-established that BrillLyle does not understand this essential policy. See here. Jytdog (talk) 05:10, 8 October 2017 (UTC)


 * I have already been through this exact same issue with Jytdog. He's deleting legitimate content. 3 times. I am restoring his deletions. This is not 3R. This is Jytdog.
 * Let's face it. He has a lot of problems which you all know about. Please address his problems and not the so-called edit warring here. Jytdog is deleting content and carrying out a bizarre vendetta against both Esquire magazine and Wiki What?, a humorous attempt to edit Wikipedia which has already been beneficial to the subjects of the articles who want things fixed. Or has been beneficial until Jytdog starts deleting the citations.
 * Bottom line is that Jytdog is a known harasser and is abusing his privilege to edit Wikipedia. His behavior is unacceptable. Please address these problems. It is not okay. -- BrillLyle (talk) 05:15, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Hi. May I suggest addressing the root of the problem? The question is whether the many Esquire sources come under REFSPAM. REFSPAM is a subtle version of spamming and people can legitimately disagree. I suggest opening a well-formulated, concise and neutral RfC. Otherwise this will just keep going on. I can open the RfC for you if you like. Kingsindian &#9821; &#9818; 05:31, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Oh good. One of your minions stepping into the fray. I guess you win, Jytdawg! I'll stop editing if you are on the pages. Good job. I hope you enjoy this fully -- and that you get what's coming to you for being such an exemplary Wikipedian!!! Thanks too, to the Wikipedia community that allows this type of behavior. This needs to change. You have a HUGE problem here, and no one is fixing it. Jytdawg needs to be banned. It's just unacceptable what he does. I mean, everyone knows this.

 * Don't worry I'm stopping editing anywhere JytDAWg is editing. No need to FURTHER threaten or harass me. I've had my fill with Jty! It's all on you now, admins. Not my problem anymore. -- Erika aka BrillLyle (talk) 05:45, 8 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Erika, it would help if you could understand and assumed good faith that the editors disagreeing with you don't have issues or "minions", and they are not after you or to "harass you, just because they reverted your edits. This place is really an editorial board where everyone makes editorial decisions. It is natural that these individual editorial choices are frequently in conflict with each other. That does not mean that editors are out to get each other. That's where WP:AGF plays a big part. Otherwise, the wiki would descend into chaos. You should also realise that if editors disagree with you, there may be several good reasons as to why, and you should revisit the applicable policies. I withdraw my request that you be blocked and wish you the best here and on your future endeavours. Dr.   K.  16:05, 8 October 2017 (UTC)


 * After all the above, BrillLyle added a new section at article talk (05:43, 8 October 2017) with heading "JytDAWG!" and a comment featuring "He obviously is in need of help". Johnuniq (talk) 06:32, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

As can be seen from the Diffs of the user's reverts, he first made a partial cancellation of my edit regarding a sentence after which he made three consecutive massive reverts of all of my edits throughout the article. All the while, I attempted to discuss the issue with Axxxion on the talk page with no success. I also made two attempts at compromise, which were also without success. I myself made one partial and two full reverts (of his cancellation of all of my edits) before stopping. When I made my third revert and stopped I warned Axxxion that he himself had also made three reverts and was on the verge of making a violation of 3RR, while I stated I myself would not make any more steps towards violating 3RR. My warning was ignored and Axxxion made his third massive revert (and fourth overall). When I warned him he violated 3RR, that he should cancel his last revert and continue discussing the issue I was ignored and Axxxion continued arguing like he didn't hear my pleas regarding 3RR at all.

 * Axxxion, first you should read what constitutes a revert WP:3RR. An edit or a series of consecutive edits that undoes other editors' actions—whether in whole or in part—counts as a revert. Your very first edit here partially undid my edit regarding the sentence about the execution of the two PMCs. After, you made the three massive reverts. This makes a total of four reverts. Also, you first made the massive revert of all of my edits and only then requested a discussion on the talk page. I made a compromise attempt and removed the mention of OSM that you were having a problem with, but then you said you had a problem with what you described as irrelevant minutiae. Its not up to me or you to decide what details are irrelevant, we are here to simply write per the sources, otherwise it would be POV-pushing (as is your pushing for obscure/unverifiable media outlets to be more significant than those such as Reuters, The Telegraph, Washington Journal, etc). In any case, you made four edits that undid my own work. EkoGraf (talk) 20:59, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

This article has been in poor shape and has recently been made worse by a series of confirmed socks (see User:Purty). I don't know if this user is another sock, but I am trying to clean up the article, copy-edit and source it and make general improvements, but this user keeps reverting to the bad version without discussion despite invitation. William Thweatt TalkContribs 11:09, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * User has now reverted yet again, surpassing 3RR, and has "revenge-reported" me below with simple diffs of my edits (not reverts). Please can an administrator give some attention to this. Thank you.--William Thweatt TalkContribs 04:51, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
 * , you are both edit warring and is the only one that as posted anything to the article's talk page.  ~ GB fan 05:35, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your response. I have tried communication on his User talk page where I know he would notice it. I have tried to ascertain why the user keeps reverting to the same version but the only response is the semi-intelligible stuff he posted on the article talk page. I have also left edit summaries explaining my improvements, he has left none in his reversions. I have been steadily adding improvements to the article over the past day or so and he keeps reverting to the same stale version without comment or explanation. Everything I do to the article is reverted without comment or reason. I think he has demonstrated he is not WP:HERE to build the article but to keep the version that the string of User:Purty socks has left us.--William Thweatt TalkContribs 05:50, 10 October 2017 (UTC)


 * – 5 days. Please use the article talk page. This is a two-person revert war, so, going just by the numbers both parties could be blocked. It is possible that one party has limited English. If so it is all the more important to explain things clearly on Talk. EdJohnston (talk) 16:36, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I appreciate the attention to the matter, but I don't understand how this action is going to help. You have protected a page full of grammar, punctuation, and sourcing errors with BLP issues -- the version the other party prefers. How is that helping Wikipedia? I have repeatedly asked the other party why he keeps reverting to this version and he doesn't answer. So all he has to do is keep being non-responsive and this version will continue to stand? What this amounts to is preventing me (and almost anybody else) from editing the page for five days because one editor doesn't want it to change and won't say why. So what happens next? In five days when I resume my attempts to fix the page and the other editor reverts again without saying why, will it just be protected again? I've been editing Wikipedia for over 11 years, created articles like Middle Khmer from scratch and brought articles like Khmer language to GA status, I think I can recognize when an editor is being disruptive on purpose...in fact, this editor has similar editing patterns to User:Pruty, the sock master obsessed with the Ho people who has been attempting to ruin this article since February. I know you guys are busy but this is a complicated case that requires a little more checking of user histories, article histories, etc. (BTW, AFAICT I reverted exactly twice. The rest of my edits were further changes and improvements, which were then reverted en mass by the other party at least 4 times. I have resisted further reverting pending a result here.)--William Thweatt TalkContribs 20:08, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: but see my comment below for specific diffs

Comments:

Definitely the lamest edit war I have seen. PhilipTerryGraham makes a contribution, despite the fact that it is being discussed already. I and another user ) object to it with a revert. He counter-reverts both times. Both I and FleetCommand overturn our objection  in hopes that the fruitless dispute ends. Yet, PhilipTerryGraham enters another round of counter-reverting against a third person (2a03:1b20:1:f410:7366::6de; I permit a checkuser to confirm that it is not my IP address). There is a point when one editor must get the point and realize that simply, too many people are disagreeing with him.

When I pleaded with FleetCommand to overturn his objection, he told me that I am crazy and that doing so only emboldens that person to commit more infractions. And now, I feel this has happened. As much as we like the dispute to end, PhilipTerryGraham seems not wanting to.

Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 06:32, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
 * For my input, I just want to say three things – one, I cited my claim. It shouldn't be crazy to think that it doesn't matter how many people disagree, you can't disagree with a proven, cited fact. Two, the discussion on the talk page that Lisa is referring to is the requested move discussion, which is obviously about the name of the page, not about any content in the article. Three, I made compromises that these two aren't willing to accept. I rolled back both mentioning "Apple TV" in Infobox OS component and allowing "TV" to be the lead-in name for the subject and leaving the official name, "Apple TV", which I cited, in parentheses as the secondary name. So any claim that I'm not wanting to end the dispute is both misleading and dishonest. I wouldn't be making compromises in an attempt to meet the other editor halfway if I wanted it to drag on.
 * Wow! Other than all the excuses for failing to see the elephant in the room (the dispute) which all edit warrior repeat, item #3 was actually a gross lie, in the face of the two diffs I provided above. —Codename Lisa (talk) 07:03, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Proof of my compromising, since I forgot to link it in my original reply and was immediately labelled a liar. That was rather inappropriate, by the way. Here's the entire edit history for the page as well, since Lisa also forgot to link it originally. My compromise came as my third attempt to revert it, after my first two full reverts had failed. It was not accepted when a suspicious IP editor came in. Here's the IP editor's contribution history, if needed as well. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · contribs · [//tools.wmflabs.org/xtools-ec/?user=PhilipTerryGraham&project=en.wikipedia.org count]) 07:12, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh, the compromise part is not a lie (at least not a direct one); the gross lie is these two aren't willing to accept. Overturning our verdicts and not reverting again after that point is a sign that we did accept. But a third editor didn't (for reasons of his own) and it was sign that you must have stopped editing. (WP:AVOIDEDITWAR and WP:EPTALK) —Codename Lisa (talk) 07:31, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
 * "since Lisa also forgot to link it originally". I did link to it above. —Codename Lisa (talk) 07:35, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
 * To specify, I meant the whole history page, including the edits intermittently by Fleet and Lisa. Sorry for any confusion. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · contribs · [//tools.wmflabs.org/xtools-ec/?user=PhilipTerryGraham&project=en.wikipedia.org count]) 07:41, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
 * By the way, side note, is it okay in this context to stalk people's contributions? Fleet had never contributed to Steam (software) until I had recently made a contribution to the article recently, for example. He proceeded to start a dispute over my contribution to that page. Seems a bit ironic to be stalking somebody around the wiki, while at the same time claiming that they're doing their best to bring the disputes to an end. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · contribs · [//tools.wmflabs.org/xtools-ec/?user=PhilipTerryGraham&project=en.wikipedia.org count]) 06:51, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Seems an off-topic thing to ask here. In the recent discussions with you, I got the feeling that use this tactic to cast aspersions indirectly. Although, what you also accomplished here was confessing to the fact that there is a lot of bad blood between you and FleetCommand.
 * Nevertheless, stalking alone is okay; there are even user page badges for introducing oneself as a stalker. But it must not become hounding or Tag teaming is wrong.—Codename Lisa (talk) 07:26, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Okay, evidently you two felt so strongly about this that you were willing to put me up for a potential block over this, which is what I now realise this board is for. You didn't even give me any indication or warning that you'd do so. I'll offer one more compromise that I would've given anyways if you had given me the heads up that you'd send me to a potential block over this – I'll refrain from editing on TV (software) ever again, if you'd like. We can part ways and I'll go do other topics and such. I've still got other articles to edit and write up that I don't want to be blocked from contributing to. Nor do I want a block to my name in my now 6-year history on this site. I really don't want this cloud over my head that has been getting me down the past few days, and I think it'd be best for me to let you have your way on this one article, rather than keep kicking and screaming and risk myself getting blocked over something as silly as this. Deal? :) – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · contribs · [//tools.wmflabs.org/xtools-ec/?user=PhilipTerryGraham&project=en.wikipedia.org count]) 07:52, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Your so-called "deal" is valid, per Wikipedia policies. Wikipedia does not block anyone for punishment; just for preventing a situation from getting worse. If you truely agree that enough is enough and try to resort to other forms of dispute resolution that seem less hostile than partial or full reverts, sure. I can close this case myself before any admin comes accross it. (To be honest, admins have WP:ROPE.)
 * A very important warning: You are now a file mover; so is FleetCommand. Do not wheel-war. (i.e. do not revert each other's file move actions! At least not without a minimum of one round of talking, plus either a consensus or strong evidence that you truely know what you are doing.) One round of wheel warring gets you both blocked and revokes your file mover privileges. Wheel-warring it taken extremely seriously in Wikipedia.
 * Also be prepared for an angry FleetCommand dropping an angry message on your talk page, objecting to the fact that you keep saying "you two". As far as I can see, he has not been part of this EW complaint.
 * Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 08:14, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I've never made retribution edits, nor do I ever intend to do so. i.e. you'll never see me reverting FleetCommand's edits in the completely hypothetical situation that he pops up out of nowhere and reverts one of my edits! Also, your original nomination detailed a lot about what you two did together, so that's why I referred to both of you, rather than just simply you and you alone. Sorry if that was indeed a bad mistake on my part, Fleet. If what Lisa says is true, I'd rather not have even more bad blood spilled onto my talk page. I'd rather us to end things here before anything gets uglier. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · contribs · [//tools.wmflabs.org/xtools-ec/?user=PhilipTerryGraham&project=en.wikipedia.org count]) 08:24, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Comments:

The mainspace article James Comey is currently under arbCom's discretionary sanctions, which stipulates one must not make more than one revert per 24 hours. User:Corkythehornetfan clearly violated the discretionary sanctions and also violated WP:OWN (entire revision history of that page makes it quite obvious ). This user has also shown a disturbing level of incivility. For reference, here is an edit summary where he said "I don't need lectured on how to edit Wikipedia," in response to another editor. And then, when I notified him about my report, he removed my edit warring warning from his talkpage and told me to "gth" (i.e. go to hell) in the edit summary. He was also previously banned indefinitely for creating sockpuppet farms to circumvent 3RR and game the system. I believe a block is definitely warranted and would greatly appreciate if admins could step in and rein in his unacceptable behavior. Sidenote: my own edits to that page were not reverts.--Certified Gangsta (talk) 15:18, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
 * 1) I wasn't aware it was under discretionary sanctions, so maybe Gangsta should have kindly said something about it before making a report like others would do. It's a common courtesy and I sometimes miss the warnings as I'm a human and make mistakes. 2) I don't WP:OWN the article and never have treated it as such, and it is no different than others editing the articles. 3) Gangsta's last edit is technically a revert (and violation of WP:QUOTENAME) since it was re-added to the article two words down from the previous spot... making him/her in violation of the sanctions, as well. 4) My comment for removing a user's comment as well as others has nothing to do with this specific article – that comment was merely directed to one person, not all. Not to mention my most recent revert on my talk page (GTH) referred to "Good to Hear" and had nothing to do with "Going to Hell". Don't assume something always means something – there are different meanings for acronyms with the same letters. 5) That block was 3.5 years ago and was overturned and again, has nothing to do with my editing nor this specific article. I have no interest in editing the article for a few days unless it is blatant vandalism. Corky Buzz by the Hornet's Nest   15:42, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Instead of lashing out and making excuses, maybe you should've slowed down and read the arbCom discretionary sanctions before constantly violating 3RR/edit-warring rules all over the place in order to keep your preferred version in place. This kind of behavior has no place in a collaborative encyclopedia and frankly a block is warranted. Btw, neither of my edit is a revert. Please educate yourself on what constitutes as a revert.--Certified Gangsta (talk) 15:58, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
 * oh good lord, I didn't violate 3RR, just the 1RR... maybe you need to slow down and educate yourself. As for my replies, they're not excuses, they're facts. You are simply lashing out at people and accusing others simply because we don't agree with you. I know Wikipedia policies and don't need lectured. A simple reminder of the sanctions would have been nice instead of a rude approach. Corky Buzz by the Hornet's Nest   16:47, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

 * – No reverts since October 7. Please try to get agreement on the talk page. There seems to be a disagreement about the quality of the sources used for the '40 languages' claim. Consider WP:RSN if necessary. If Google made a prediction they would handle 40 languages you could quote what they said, without asserting it as a fact in Wikipedia's voice.

User continues to remove sourced information on the subject and refuses to discuss on the Talk page their concerns. User also disrupted RfPP by placing their request on top of one of my own. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 16:11, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

Page is being flooded with false and defamatory reports, if you read the article cited it does not say anything about the subject in question being "escorted out" or "using profanity" this is pure hear-say and tabloid rumor. Sorry for disrupting your post I didn't mean to and didn't realize I was doing so, as you might imagine this is a hectic situation. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spsand (talk • contribs) 16:13, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
 * 'Escorted out' and 'Profanity' removed. The source is a local ABC news.  I removed it last night until a source was found.  It could be written better. TVGarfield (talk) 16:36, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
 * To be clear, I removed the whole section last night, twice, because it wasn't referenced. Today it was. Some of the information that wasn't referenced has since been removed. TVGarfield (talk) 16:46, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Unsourced material can be challenged and removed yes and that should indeed be done. However the user has reverted now 4 times since the 3RR warning was placed so should be blocked for that. I'd also question if there is a COI involvement here. Canterbury Tail   talk  17:59, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't necessarily see any COI involvement here. The user hasn't declared any connection to the subject, plus they were simply referencing the source given in their removals. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 18:03, 12 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Result: Page semiprotected two months. Over the last couple of days, a lot of unsourced material about Sales' speech at a high school has been added and then removed by regular editors. User:Spsand was removing unsourced negative material from a BLP, which is allowed under WP:3RRNO and is obviously the right thing to do. (In fact, some recent edits have been revision-deleted by User:Widr which is a clue to how nasty they were). Up till now WP:Extended confirmed protection has not been needed but that might be the next step. EdJohnston (talk) 03:44, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

This user is engaged in a long edit-war against multiple editors at Canaan (son of Ham) and has declined an invitation to the talk page. It has recently sped up.

Restoring tagging in violation of the 1RR imposed on the article. Disruptively edit-warring for the past few days in this AA2 article. Dr.  K.  01:52, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

It looks like Dr. K reported without checking the edit - I only restored the NPOV template. I actually posted to Eperoton's userpage asking for advice about whether I had made a mistake adding citation needed tags, and noted in the summary that I thought their removal was unusual behavior that might be against our policies. I have never encountered this before. Regarding the NPOV template I believe this was after 24 hours (the template was reverted before 19 and my phone says 22:04 right now.) If I made a mistake, which I could have on my mobile I will of course self-revert - but I do think I waited over 24 hours even though the original template was wrongly removed (there was a justification posted at the GA review) and I feel good faith should have been assumed and a discussion attempted before removing a template placed by another editor. Thanks, Seraphim System  ( talk ) 02:05, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

I also JUST NOW see there is a rule that reverts must be discussed on the talk page. I have left a note about the NPOV concerns on talk, but I see above about 5-6 editors who have made multiple reverts without a single explanation. I am NEW to this article, so can someone please explain the meaning of this rule to me and whether it has been followed here? (Presumably the regulars were aware of the rule when they reverted) Seraphim System  ( talk ) 02:11, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

And now this also [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Armenian_Genocide&diff=805252485&oldid=805248548] so I can't really self-revert. I don't really think the fact that Hrant Dink is only mentioned in the article for his arrest by Turkey, and that his work on the genocide is not discussed at all is a "meaningless generality" (but Ba'at Yeor's work is discussed at length? be serious.) There is no discussion on talk, under the circumstances I don't see what I can do other then insist the template remain by restoring it within the 24 hour rule or calling an RfC to see if the template is warranted and writing a full explanation of my reasons. I will do whichever is advised by the admins here, but I do think that under the circumstances the GA review should be closed immediately as a fail. Seraphim System ( talk ) 02:59, 14 October 2017 (UTC)


 * This isn't about the content, or the GA review, or any other red herrings. This is about your continuous edit-warring, and only about that.  You have been edit-warring, and broke the 1RR restriction the article is under.  Do you understand that? Khirurg (talk) 03:19, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Did I violate 1RR? Can someone show me the two diffs (and only the two diffs) that violate 1RR so I can self-revert, because I don't see them. Seraphim System  ( talk ) 03:21, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
 * – 48 hours. In addition to the long-term war since 11 October, Seraphim System made reverts at both 03:09 and 13:14 on 12 October which breaks 1RR on that calendar day. EdJohnston (talk) 03:57, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

Professorreason asserts to be Robert Stewart, the subject of the article (see Talk:Robert Stewart (saxophonist)). His posts on the talk page illustrate that he knows what Wikipedia policies and guidelines on autobiographies and ownership are (I implored him to read them), but he keeps removing the autobiography template from the article. There are lots of other problems – instances of removing tags, misrepresenting sources, etc. etc. – but they are more generally disruptive and are not violations of 3RR.

I was ignored. I implored him on his user talk page to listen to my arguments. I was ignored. Time and time again I have done what WP mandates for this kind of situation, and time and time again Jytdog has completely ignored my efforts. I’ve tried time and time again to abide by what Jtydog has asked me to go through, and it’s done nothing but provide cannon fodder for undoing without reason, with no regard for anything new presented.
