Comments:

Basically there are a couple of users that seem to want to start an edit war. I made a simple edit to fix an MOS inconsistency and that was quickly reverted with no explanation. I put that one back saying their needed to be an actual explanation for the revert and then separately added another edit citing a specific reference. Both were summarily reverted with a cryptic "NPOV" as the explanation. Both users left little Wikibullying notes on the user talk page. I started a discussion on the article talk page which neither user seems inclined to participate in. I am guessing their must be some history here that I don't know about. I have not gleaned it from the talk page.

-- MC 141.131.2.3 (talk) 17:52, 2 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi, while on vandal patrol I picked up an edit that I believed violated NPOV. I reverted and dropped a NPOV warning (lvl 2), since use of terminology such as "pervasive part of American society" rather than its predecessing language did not seem either NPOV or a MOS amendment. 141.131.2.3 then, after reverting his own change, dropped a vandalism template on my own talk page - diff: . . I replied with a request to talk to me if he had any issues with my reverts rather than just dropping his own warnings Diff response: . This would appear to be their response to my request.


 * The poster has also complained about our lack of participation in the talk page comment, but since we weren't linked in that would have been difficult for us to be aware of.


 * -- Nosebagbear (talk) 18:02, 2 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Appreciate the reply. Still at most you have explained that you did not like a word choice, but not why you felt the need to simply revert the whole edit (you could easily have offered different wording to address the concern I was trying to repair). Nor have you explained why you felt the need to start accusations of inserting personal commentary in the article.
 * And despite the protest about your not being aware of the article talk page, I notice you still have not commented there even now.
 * Again, I don't specifically know what the motivation is here but I don't really see good faith behind it.
 * -- MC 141.131.2.3 (talk) 18:18, 2 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi MC 141.131.2.3. It's a shame that this discussion couldn't be had by raising questions on a user talk page (or an article one, we just didn't know of it), rather than the Admin Noticeboard. Speaking purely for myself (I've not read through Coryphantha's) I'll answer your questions in order:
 * Reversion of whole edit - when I read the edit it had a negative bit (the non-neutrally phrased part) and a potential issue part (reflecting highly ingrained). The previous edit, to me, seemed fine, so reverting it didn't seem to delete clear positive alteration.
 * Accusations of personal commentary - the templates used by both me and Coryphantha were standard "Neutral Point of View" warnings. I used it since I felt your change would have made the article read in a less neutral way. It's possible to do this without having a specific personal viewpoint on the issue and I don't feel my use of it by any means indicates either aggressive accusations or wikibullying.
 * Talk page - I've not used the wiki talk page since this board takes precedence and I don't want to split any discussions we might have. It's my first time as the accused party on any admin noticeboard afaik, and given potential consequences I'm not inclined to continue work on the area while it is under consideration
 * My motivation was solely to remove negative (obviously as I perceive them) edits - I can't have more than a couple of edits on gun control out of all of mine, and afaik we've not met before my initial reversion of your edit. If I wasn't editing in GF, what is the (most likely) motivation I was running off?


 * --Nosebagbear (talk) 18:36, 2 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Thank you for notifying me of my inclusion in this Noticeboard, frankly I do not see why either Nosebagbear or I are here. I apologize for having taken so long to reply to this page as I was taking part in the real world which is evidenced by my break in editing for several hours.


 * While on vandal patrol I noticed this unsourced edit regarding gun culture in the United States: which appeared to violate WP:NPOV and appears rather to be an opinion which is less than neutral. There are readers and users of various opinions who use and read Wikipedia, and all of the articles should reflect the standard of neutrality that the editors and administrators hold in such high regard. I, of course, am not the only editor who wishes to see WP remain neutral, especially on such a divisive topic as this one.
 * I reverted the above edit and the previous one together, the previous one was most likely acceptable, but given the attitude of the second edit by 141.131.2.3 I assumed it was also non-neutral and most likely should have left that one. My reverts cannot possibly be termed "edit warring", however, since that was the only time I visited that page. I apologize for having reverted the first of the two, although I stand by my opinion that the second edit violated Wikipedia's policy of neutrality.
 * I did not reply on the article's talk page as I was not pinged and I will not be replying there as I will not be dividing the discussion into two places either.
 * About the "little Wikibullying notes on the user's talk page": I use the Wikipedia Twinkle app in my effort against vandalism and the "notes" that were left on 141.131.2.3's talk are prewritten templates that I myself did not write. If 141.131.2.3 has a problem with the message he'll have to contact the person/people who wrote the Article template. In retrospect I left a Level 1 warning and Nosebagbear left a Level 2 warning and the two should have been reversed. In my own defense, mine was not the second warning left on his page.
 * May I remind 141.131.2.3 that civility is still an important part of Wikipedia. Had he simply alerted me to my inclusion on the article's talk page I would have at least had the chance to reply and back up my argument there when I returned to WP, and this discussion may not have reached the level of animus that it has even before I've even had the opportunity to take part.
 * As to "the history", I am not aware of any "history" either. I simply do my part to make Wikipedia a better place, and it would be nice if everyone included in this discussion felt the same way, especially where it concerns divisive topics, Nosebagbear notwithstanding.


 * In summary, I do not feel in any way that I, nor Nosebagbear, took part in edit warring as each of us only reverted once. I defend the removal of the NPOV edit for the reasons stated above. Regards and best wishes, Coryphantha   Talk  21:14, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

I have previously reported him] for the same issue: He kept on reverting a change I have done without stating any reasons or objections to do so and it seems he started again as [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1980_Turkish_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat&diff=prev&oldid=848590409 he reverted the same article again stating only "VANDALİSM!!!" as a reason] where as I have raised my objections a year ago, waited for 6 months and then updated the section with explaining the excerpts I have quoted. I have once reverted his revert but I do not want to end up being blocked again due to the edit-war he launched. I have reported as he started so that I will not violate Wikipedia rules.

Comments:

Again, this is not a straight up 3RR violation. Rather it is ONE user, Yan (יניב הורון), edit warring against multiple other users over a period of time (since May). Best I can tell the editors he reverted essentially without discussion include User:Yulia Romero, User:Lute88, User:Galassi, and 2600:1700:1111:5940:d9f6:63d1:857a:104. He also reverted User:BrillLyle, although this one could've been simply because he was doing blind-reverts and did not pay attention to intervening edits (i.e. he seems to have reverted Brill just because Brill got in the way of his edit war)
 * I'm surprised you have reported only me despite other editors are also involved in this. Even though I have reverted three users (and a suspicious IP), this is a borderline vandalism situation on your part, increasing Ukraine's Jewish population from 67,000 to 400,000 (while the source seems to be clearly stating 67,000). An undated Jewish congress web page is not a strong source. In addition, as you can see here (pg 624), there were 100,000 Jews living in Ukraine in 2002 (NOT 400,000), while there's no source to support 400,000 Jews in 2014 (dead link). This might be a question of a range of estimates (beyond the official census) for Jewish origin people. The box should probably stick to one thing (e.g. the official census) while the range of possible Jewish origin people (estimates of whom vary quite a bit) should be stated separately.--יניב הורון (Yaniv) (talk) 18:58, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Referring to other editors' good faithed edits as "vandalism" isn't very constructive. And yes, there are five other users whom you've been reverting. That should tell you something.Volunteer Marek (talk) 19:14, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I will note that Yaniv has opened a talk paye section on 25 June. RSes do not support 400,000 Jews in Ukraine (true in 198o, but vast majority immigrated - see this, which is a RSor the Atlantic. This may fall under the vandalism exception to edit warring policy - particulalrly when the citations next to the table do not support this inflated time series. Perhaps editors such as VM shoud explain why they have inserted such numbers without apparant RS support.Icewhiz (talk) 19:16, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, and he called it "Fake statistics" and claimed that "while there's no source to support ..." which there clearly is (which source is better is a different question). He then continued to edit war against multiple users for another EIGHT days, while referring to other editors' good faithed edits as "vandalism".Volunteer Marek (talk) 19:18, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
 * And Icewhiz, WP:VANDALISM clearly states: "Even if misguided, willfully against consensus, or disruptive, any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia is not vandalism". And these edits here were not even "disruptive" or "against consensus" (which is clearly against Yaniv). So please don't refer to other editors actions as "vandalism" either.Volunteer Marek (talk) 19:21, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I said "may fall". I'm sure inflating population figures by a factor of approx. a multiple of 4-8 (in relation to generally accepted numbers), without a good source, is forbidden by some policy.Icewhiz (talk) 19:42, 3 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Is the 400,000 supported by any source or not? If not, who put in that number originally? --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 19:44, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
 * It's 53,000 (2017). Nishidani (talk) 19:55, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict) The other users in the dispute are referring to this source . That seems to support neither side in this dispute if we add up the numbers listed, but those only cover major cities (but since 260k > 60k, that would rule out the "lower side" that Yaniv is edit warring for). This source is also used in the article. Quickly looking at it, it suggest that this may be a dispute over whether the "core" or the "enlarged" Jewish populations should be listed (which of course gets into all kinds of issues). A link to this source is also provided in the article, but it's a dead link. The numbers were added in May of 2014 and have been in the article for more than four years. Anyway you slice it, this was not "vandalism" on anyone's part.Volunteer Marek (talk) 20:00, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Current estimates vary (no census since 2001) - but 53k is one of them - 400k is only if you add "extended jews" or crypto Jews - and even there is a very high side estimate. Very. The undated WJC doc is probably not a rs. The stable version is with 67k for 2014. The inflated figures were inserted by an IP on 18 June who just changed the numbers in the table without any refs (and in a manner which does not reflect the some 300+k immigrations in the 1990-2010 period) - which seems like a WP:DUCK.Icewhiz (talk) 20:03, 3 July 2018 (UTC) If this were an "extended Jew" issue - then the 1989 should have been updated as well - but it is stuck at 487k - leaving the table at complete odds with the mass immigration of Jews after the fall of the Soviet bloc.Icewhiz (talk) 20:05, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but this report isn't about a content dispute. You (and Yaniv) should've said all those things on the talk page rather than edit warring. The only reason content issues are relevant here is to establish that you can't use "vandalism" as an excuse.Volunteer Marek (talk) 20:09, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
 * The inflated figures were inserted by an IP on 18 June - The high numbers were inserted in [May 2014 by [[User:Avaya1]]. The ones in the table were removed by another IP, although the ones in the infobox were left in place.Volunteer Marek (talk) 20:17, 3 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Talk page discussion was opened June 25th. No one defended the 400,000 number. As for the charges of vandalism, editors need to look at the intent of an edit. If a random IP changes 40,000 to 400,000 for example then that's likely vandalism. Established editors reverting to a poorly sourced or unsourced number is likely due to a dispute or carelessness. <b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 20:21, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:

YSSYguy went around standardizing airline destination lists between April and May. Since then, he has been displaying heavy WP:OWN behaviour on those list articles. One point of particular concern was his adamant insistence that Hong Kong must be listed under China.

An IP user in the dispute opened an RfC on Talk:List of Singapore Airlines destinations. YSSYguy has not participated since 23 May but continued to revert any edit that he disagreed with, without providing any edit summary. He hasn't reverted in a few weeks but restarted doing so yesterday. YSSYguy has resorted to incivil language in his edit summary and has refused to compromise despite multiple editors telling him it is inappropriate to lump Hong Kong under China in aviation lists.

Edit warring / 3RR templates have not been used because the pace of edit warring was slow and no single user is close to violating 3RR.

Comments:


 * I have inspected his edits, I think there exists a broader problem of these list : I check jurisdiction but others may not do so. I hate doing these things and these really isn't a small thing for Hong Kong citizens.-- 1233 Talk 12:47, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Note: He is continuing his effort to force his will through a consensus at the related RfC which the majority did not support Hong Kong being listed as a Chinese destination.-- 1233 Talk 10:39, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Hello User:1233. The RfC at this link does not have any statement at the top about what question it is discussing. If you think editors have reached a consensus, can you say what it is? EdJohnston (talk) 13:18, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
 * , the question is about whether Hong Kong and Macau should be listed as a separate country from China or not. Most of them would not list Hong Kong as a PRC Airline Destination.-- 1233 Talk 13:52, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
 * The RfC's question is "how should the 'country' column in aviation destination lists treat Hong Kong and Macau". I think the rough consensus is "not under China" and opinions are split about the "think outside the box" solution of renaming the column "Country / Territory"; however both 1233 and I have expressed an opinion in the debate the discussion hasn't been closed yet, so I would leave it to you to gauge the consensus. In the meantime, YSSYguy has continued to change the "country" field of "Hong Kong" to "China" in other lists, even going so far as making such edits in a list where Hong Kong has never been listed under China before.. Deryck C. 13:52, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
 * If User:YSSYguy doesn't continue to revert it is likely this complaint will be closed with a warning, not to revert again about 'country' on those three articles. One problem is that the complaint is not super-clear. (The edits listed above are not all about this issue). Also, in some cases people are putting the country field as blank next to Hong Kong, which seems peculiar. Even if we delegate this whole question to the editors working in WT:AIRPORT, they should be able to state clearly what they want the rule to be. EdJohnston (talk) 16:27, 2 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Would WP:Countries or WP:Lists (or Categorisation) be more relevant than Airports? 124.217.189.141 (talk) 14:58, 4 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Result: User:YSSYguy is warned not to revert again between 'China' and 'Hong Kong' in the country field of airline destination lists without getting prior consensus on a relevant talk page. EdJohnston (talk) 02:06, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I have been rather busy of late and have not had any involvement with WP since the weekend, hence this has passed me by. I guess it's too late for any of my comments to carry any weight, but nevertheless I offer the following:
 * The comment "going so far as making such edits in a list where Hong Kong has never been listed under China before" is demonstrably false; the previous edit changed "People's Republic of China" to "Hong Kong", less than ten hours later I changed it back to the version that an examination of the edit history has existed since March this year, with a brief interlude of it being "Hong Kong" again in the meantime.
 * The fact that I am not the only person making changes of this nature, as seen in the two diffs above, is evidence that no consensus exists that Hong Kong should be treated as not being a part of China. Both Deryck Chan and 1233 have self-identified as having a close connection with Hong Kong, which results in both of them having a non-neutral point of view on the subject. I have no connection at all with mainland China, Taiwan, Macau or Hong Kong; I am a middle-aged seventh-generation Caucasian Australian; I have transitted Hong Kong airport a few times, I have transitted Kunming Airport once and I spent a few hours in central Shanghai once, when my time between flights to/from Pudong airport was sufficient for me to do so.
 * I don't see why I should comply with an injunction to not make changes that others are free to make and have made (further examples:, , , , - this last one made more than eight years ago and as far as I can see, never altered since), that is the result of a case opened by a person with a clear non-neutral POV - the reality is that Hong Kong was handed back to China 21 years and a few days ago, I am old enough to have seen the very large number of news reports concerning the handover in the years and days leading up to 1 July 1997, and many more since. I can well understand that Deryck Chan and 1233 (and no doubt hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of others) don't want to be Chinese subjects (I wouldn't want to be either), but that is the situation for people living in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China. Others have mentioned the existence of the Hong Kong passport as evidence that it is not China, however only Chinese citizens are eligible to hold a Hong Kong passport, and such passports list "China" as the holders' nationality. Are we really going to treat some lists of airline destinations as a special case within Wikipedia because of an RfC opened by an IP troll trying to harass me , that has had just a small number of participants?

The user keeps reverting the entire page without providing examples of issues or making comments on the talk page so that other editors can continue to improve the content. The user notes that there are issues with promotional material. Compared to the previous version the user keeps reverting it to, the page was updated with a significant increase in the number of external sources as well as edits to improve neutral language to combat this. I reverted the page to the newest version but the user continues to revert the page. When asked on the user's talk page (in an effort to avoid edit warring) for specifics surrounding the issues, the user cited only one sentence. A further request for information, or for more direct edits (rather than total reversion) were not returned.

Full disclosure:
 * 1) This debate started when I noticed User:Adamgerber80 (who was initially involved, but has since been inactive) removed the Khalistan movement from a List of active separatist movements in Asia (diff). He argued the movement was inactive, thus did not belong in the list. We have a difference of opinion (diff) about what makes a movement active.
 * 2) DBigXray and myself engaged in an edit war-like behavior in Operation Blue Star as well. I'm not going to hide that when I discovered this user was making POV edits to Operation Blue Star (a very directly related subject) during our dispute, I was upset. He added claims that Sikhs were planning a massacre, sprinkled in the word "extremist", etc. I admittedly undid most of the additions.

I am from the United States (as opposed to Pakistan or India.) I am atheist (not Sikh.)

A couple of my edit comments said WP:OR when I really meant WP:STATUSQUO. That was my bad.

Anyway, DBigXray has been engaged in ongoing dispute resolution with me for the last 25 days and 6 hours, and talk page discussion before that. He is well aware that we are attempting to reach consensus for the exact paragraph he removed.

Attempts to resolve dispute on DRN page: Dispute_resolution_noticeboard

Comments:

The article is under 1RR WP:Discretionary sanctions due to WP:General_sanctions decision here. The user was informed about the sanctions here Another editor had removed the disputed original research section from the lead and the reported editor restored it citing a dispute. The user has failed to provide a source on talk or DRN per WP:BURDEN but is still actively edit warring to restore his preferred version in the article. (see the recent and old diffs) the 1RR rule has been violated and 24 hrs is not an entitlement. The reported user is aware of the 24 Hrs rule and (looking at the time stamps of the edits), is clearly trying to game the system.

The reported user has a history of Edit warring and has been blocked in past and have not got the message yet that Edit warring is not acceptable here. Further more he is slapping 3RR warnings on my talk page and threatening blocks.  D Big X ray  17:27, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

 * The article (which is about an extremist movement targeting India allegedly fueled by Pakistan) is under 1RR following the Requests_for_arbitration/India-Pakistan as listed here on General_sanctions that says Standard discretionary sanctions are authorized for all pages related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan broadly construed. -- D Big X ray  17:52, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Admin had mentioned the 1RR rule broadly construed somewhere That I cant find currently. May be User:RegentsPark can point it and share his thoughts on the 1RR. -- D Big X ray   17:58, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * And that means that an admin can impose WP:1RR on an article in this area, not that WP:1RR is imposed on every article in this area. That is, there is no WP:1RR on an article unless it is properly advertised through an editnotice and logged. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 18:03, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Ok Thank you for your kind explanation. I was under the impression that "broadly construted" means 1RR for this as well. Neverthless, the edit warring is clear abov and an existing DRN or ongoing dispute is not an excuse to edit war and restore a preferred version of the article, (a Third time). So Kindly judge the case based on its own merits. Thanks -- D Big X ray  18:10, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:

Comments:

Just yesterday an administrator locked Khalistan movement after DBigXray decided to forego dispute resolution and remove the very paragraph that we were debating (active dispute diff DBigXray's change diff.) Our dispute moderator closed the dispute as failed (diff). The entire time we were undergoing dispute resolution, DBigXray was furiously editing Operation Blue Star (a closely related topic.)

In yesterday's filing, I specifically mentioned our edit war in Operation Blue Star where DBigXray has repeatedly added POV content:
 * Sprinkling in words like "extremist" and "murders"
 * Adding a WP:EXTREME claim that Sikhs were going to "murder Hindus in all the villages across Punjab"
 * Removing stats he disagrees with. He uses book reviews as evidence (diff)

DBigXray saw I gave him notice before I filed yesterday and decided to beat me to the punch by posting here before me. Just clarifying, in case anyone thinks I was the one who filed in retaliation.

Anyway, I just brought this up yesterday and he hasn't skipped a beat. Literally at it again. --Elephanthunter (talk) 16:42, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

User being reported:
 * 1) There is no offence as being claimed here.
 * 2) The editor got involved in content dispute with me at Khalistan Movement and WP:WIKIHOUNDed me to Operation Blue Star Which I pointed out here
 * 3) The editor above is suffering from acute WP:BATTLE and WP:IDONTLIKEIT mentality. The said article has been edited by me after the talk page consensus. The editor is not bothered any more to participate in the talk page discussion as visible that he has not participated in past 8 days inspite of several concerns raised by me and a Third editor. Due to his clear lack of participation in discussion, simple WP:BRD cycle is being followed here.
 * 4) This and the report above have been filed with the sole intention of "Getting the article Locked down for another month" and "possibly getting me blocked" per WP:BATTLE-- D Big X ray  17:50, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * First off: Where are you pulling those quotes from? They are not my own, and I'm not seeing them in WP:BATTLE.
 * I have good reason to believe you have no intention of peacefully coming to consensus. I sought dispute resolution for our differences of opinion in Khalistan Moement (diff), but you broke the rules by initiating direct discussion and edit warring. Admittedly I took the bait. You basically sabotaged our dispute resolution, in my opinion, because it was not going your way.
 * I'm filing this report because you chose to continue to edit warring after I brought up our edit wars in Khalistan movement and Operation Blue Star here literally yesterday. I don't believe you're editing in good faith. --Elephanthunter (talk) 18:48, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

Johnuniq (talk) 10:57, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
 * You don't have to waste your time here. יניב הורון was persistently restoring an un-sourced portion along with reverting other changes done by Ofcom1 without trying to resolve the issue via talk page. On the other hand, I see Ofcom1, who's a new comer, were persistently removing sourced content without saying why. I've already warned Ofcom1. -- M h hossein   talk 12:06, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't think changing Islamic seminaries to religious seminaries or the Hussein government to Saddam's regime can be reverted as "vandalism". Unsourced content was restored also. There's very little value in reverting this way. Experienced editors are generally cautioned against these types of combative, pushy reverts that will inflame an edit war. Definitely, there should be at least a warning about restoring unsourced content while accusing other editors of vandalism - an editor is responsible for the full content of a revert.

 * You need to stop your reverts at some point. Note that you're no better at other pages. The other user was a new comer and I could not report him only after he was warned/informed against edit warring and 3RR, while you were well aware of them. You see that he had received my warning. -- M h hossein   talk 01:13, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm perfectly aware of 3RR, that's precisely why I did not break that rule, despite the user I reverted was removing tons of well-sourced content for no good reason. In case you didn't know, you break 3RR when you make four reverts or more in a single article in less than 24 hours. Cheers.--יניב הורון (Yaniv) (talk) 01:24, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Do I need to tell you that "it is perfectly possible to edit war without breaking the three-revert rule, or even coming close to doing so" (see WP:EDITWAR). Also, the templates you were given clearly tell you that "you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule." -- M h hossein   talk 02:13, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

יניב הורון is an extremely disruptive editor, with no redeeming features. Here are two examples: I'm not proposing these as revert violations. I'm just saying that an editor who adds nothing to a page except to make multi-edit reverts and trivial remarks in support of one "side" is being disruptive. A look at this editor's contribs shows that a large fraction are reverts. And I didn't get started on the endless pov-pushing. We would definitely be better off without this editor.

 * As Yaniv says, Ofcom1 is an SPA deleting perfectly valid sources. In this case, at least, Yaniv's reverts were fully justified.TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 12:07, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

 * . While the edit warring involved content-related matters and not vandalism as the reported user believed it was, it was an honest mistake on his part, and he only reverted the other user three times and didn't go further. I left him a message on his talk page, reminded him to take care and to know for certain what he's reverting before he reverts it, and to be careful next time. That's the only action I feel was needed.... case closed :-)  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   15:33, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Another user is repeatedly adding unsigned content to the beginning of our RfC in Talk:Khalistan movement. I'm not sure of the correct procedure or how to deal with this. We can't agree on a way to keep the RfC header brief and neutral.

This user is the opposing party in the RfC. I do not want this user blocked or banned, because then he couldn't make his case at the RfC. I just want him to stop manipulating the content at the beginning. I feel like I am in a bind.

The article we are discussing, Khalistan movement, is already locked because of a previous edit war User:DBigXray started mid dispute resolution. Due to this edit war, the moderator locked our debate. DBigXray sought a 3O, but then accused our 3O of being a sock and he repeatedly attempted to hat our 3O's comment. Now we're at it with this RfC.

Not sure if this is the correct avenue, but to me (and apparently the other editor diff) it appears like a clear edit war. --Elephanthunter (talk) 19:29, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: honestly, to save myself the copying and pasting of a preposterous number of diffs, just see Talk:Mains electricity by country. Strictly speaking this isn't a 3RR violation, but it might as well be.

Comments:

I'm at my wits' end with FF-UK, who continues to assert ownership over Mains electricity by country, is unrepentantly rude, hyperbolic and insulting, and absolutely does not give a damn about what anyone else thinks. I'm reporting him nominally for this one dispute on Mains electricity by country but really this is a pervasive, chronic problem with this editor. This article is but one of many about electrical engineering that FF-UK has asserted ownership over. (Others include AC power plugs and sockets, the newly split off History of AC power plugs and sockets, Europlug, AC power plugs and sockets: British and related types, Ring circuit, NEMA connector... the list is long.) I've been called "truly despicable", has said I've made "gross misrepresentations which are totally unforgiveable" , "inward-looking" , and that's just in the last two discussions on Talk:Mains electricity by country. I've reported him for the exact same behaviour before (and he has reported me too ), and he has been reported twice by others for the exact same behaviour, and at WP:ANI for the exact same behaviour.

I laughed out loud when I read User:Bishonen's assessment from the ANI report (which I was not involved in at all, FYI), it's just so spot on: "FF-UK has made 21 edits to the move discussion, divided into actually more responses — I make it 31 — responding to and arguing heatedly with pretty much everybody. That's pretty disruptive in itself. I started to count the number of exclamation marks also, and the number of times they accused people of dishonesty, but I got lost. It's the kind of behaviour that discourages other editors..." He's been like that in every single interaction with everybody when it comes to his pet articles.

What more does one have to do to get you people to do something about this person? Frankly his caustic behaviour makes a mockery of Wikipedia. I took a long break from Wikipedia before, and I'm at the point where I don't want to continue contributing anymore. It's not worth it if administrators are going to let someone like FF-UK run roughshod over others like this. CplDHicks2 (talk) 05:40, 9 July 2018 (UTC)


 * This is the right place for reporting edit warring, but WP:ANI is the place for reporting a specific incident and WP:AN is the place for reporting a pattern of behavior. Have you tried either of those places? Assuming that your description above is accurate (I haven't checked for myself) it looks like a community ban is in order. --Guy Macon (talk) 06:25, 9 July 2018 (UTC)


 * for a week. Both editors have edit warred to much the same extent. Try to reach consensus on talk, please. It looks like you may need more input there. You may want to try Requests for comment or other dispute resolution. CplDHicks2, at a quick look, I did not get the impression that FF-UK has ignored my warning that you mentioned. If you feel they have, you may want to take them to ANI, with diffs, per Guy Macon. I would normally say "or take it straight to my page", since I warned them, but I'm just about to take a vacation.

Prop9 is a new user who appears to be focused on removing content from the article on Edward S. Herman. It is possible that this user really isn't aware of Wikipedia's rules against edit warring and in particular the three revert rule. On the other hand, the user does seem to be aware of policies such as WP:NPOV, since he has mentioned them on talk pages, and that being the case, it seems a little odd that he would have no idea at all about rules against edit warring. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 00:43, 10 July 2018 (UTC)


 * So long as we are discussing edit warring by this user, I may as well note that he has vandalized my user page multiple times, here and here. As I've pointed out in my colorful fashion, those are not good faith edits by this user, and the second of them constitutes edit warring. You will note that while he states in the second of those edits, "I know about edit wars now", he has not self-reverted at Edward S. Herman as requested. So this is someone who definitely knows that he is violating the rules and doesn't care. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 01:08, 10 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Update. He has now self-reverted; see here. But can an admin please warn him for behaving this way? FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 01:11, 10 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment: Stepscanto, a new account that was started only today, just made this edit at Edward S. Herman; that's the same revert Prop9 was making. So there is a possible sockpuppet/meatpuppet issue. In fact that account is a pretty obvious sock, as witness this edit at my talk page, restoring a comment from Prop9 that I earlier removed. This sockpuppeting user does not deserve a warning, as I stated above, they deserve an indefinite block for disruption. It wouldn't hurt to do a checkuser and see if they are using other accounts as well. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 03:07, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I highly recommend opening a case at WP:SPI. It's certainly interesting that a brand new account with a name that sounds like it'd be a sock of yours appears out of nowhere to support you.  You're not stupid, so I doubt very much that it's actually you, but I could very easily imagine it being someone trying to make you look bad.  Ian.thomson (talk) 03:12, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
 * You're right, I'm not stupid, and that account isn't me. Having only narrowly survived an indefinite block some time ago because of my use of multiple accounts, I wouldn't risk my position by using another account again, least of all would I use one with a username even remotely similar to my current user name. Someone, someone who is not me, is just trying to amuse themselves here. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 03:16, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Agreed, Prop9 needs an indefinite block. LiberationOfKnowledge (talk) 03:09, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Those who have been involved so far in making exactly the same removals include User:Undergroundtennis123 (joined the project 28 March 2017‎), who seems to have inadvertently revealed himself as the same person who was User:Underground123, User:Arbeit10 (already warned multiple times by other users for removing sourced information), User:Australian43, two anonymous SPAs (User:2601:140:8001:8BE4:E04A:1721:37E6:EF8C and User:2601:140:8001:8BE4:5870:54C:EC05:ECC8), both of whom I've blocked, and, most recently, User:Unnamelessness (joined the project 19 August 2017‎). Most of these users have a distinctive edit history involving blank user pages, a low overall edit count, and edits to the same set of articles. A sockpuppet investigation has failed to uncover any collusion, but it is clearly not coincidence that the same additions are being removed over and over again by "different" contributors. I would be interested in the opinions of other experienced contributors. Deb (talk) 15:12, 7 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Additional comment. User talk:Ui56k has now joined the throng rushing to revert any information I might add to the lede. His user profile shows similarities to the others mentioned above: blank user page, joined in 2016, relatively low edit count, only apparently interested in tennis and snooker articles.

In my opinion User:Deb should stay away from admin action on an article she has edited, since this is not obvious vandalism or BLP violation. Semi is already in place. WP:ECP wouldn't stop the war since everyone has over 500 edits.  and  hardly ever communicate. Some regular editors who are obviously not socks such as  also want to remove the material that Deb prefers to keep. Probably this should close with no action. EdJohnston (talk) 01:57, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, I am trying to stay away from it, that's why I've reported it here. It's not just odd, it's truly weird. I mean, four anonymous SPAs making the same reversions? Is that an indication of good faith? Not just reverting the initial change that some feel is "irrelevant", but every addition I make? There have also been multiple failed attempts to log into my ID since yesterday. I'm somewhat shocked by the conduct of User:Tvx1, getting him/herself involved in an edit war after it's been reported here; so far he/she is the only experienced wikipedian to have made a reversion. Deb (talk) 05:44, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I was not aware of this report, let alone an SPI prior to being pinged here. I visited the article in question, saw the passage of questionable significance, read the talk page discussion and based on Undergroundtennis123's solid arguments decided to remove the information again. There's nothing more behind my action. We don't include information for the sole reason that it's sourced and I'm pretty surprised that an administrator would not be aware of that basic Wikipedia practice. I'm equally surprised that an administrator would engage in an edit-war like that.Tvx1 20:35, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Maybe you should have looked at the article history and my talk page (where those "solid arguments" were actually first raised) before involving yourself. That's pretty basic, and I'm surprised at a wikipedian with your experience not being aware of that. Deb (talk) 08:14, 10 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Result: No action, per my reasoning above. There seems to be a good-faith disagreement on whether the statement about Andy Murray deserves to be included here. Use WP:DR to get opinions. If the talk page reaches a conclusion, then blocks could be issued for anyone reverting against the consensus. It should be obvious that membership in WikiProject Tennis is not a prerequisite for editing this article. I recommend that User:Deb ask another admin to review the blocks she issued to the two IPs, to avoid concerns about WP:INVOLVED. EdJohnston (talk) 20:43, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, thanks. That will help stop the harassment, I'm sure. Deb (talk) 09:00, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Seems to me this editor ignores his own repeated edit warring on the same page. Also, if you read the source material for the phrase he doesn’t like, it more than accurate. Complaining editor has NEVER tried to discuss on talk page. Pot meet kettle.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.5.103.181 (talk) 18:49, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Historically we've never used statements like that directly in an article unless the exact words appear in a major article (i.e. New York Times/WSJ) and its used as a quotation. Like this, it comes across as biased and non-neutral. Your edits also removed a more factual indication of how well the service had been performing (i.e. average users). There's also nothing to discuss; both me and another editor do not support the inclusion of your biased wording, meaning there is an implied consensus. ViperSnake151   Talk  18:53, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
 * you’ve remove a lot more than just that phrase. You eliminated coverage from another article in the body text. And there are other editors who seem to agree with my edits. So don’t claim consensus where there’s none. You haven’t tried to discuss on the talk page and yet you have reverted far more than three times.

 * I think it should be clear that I've only made reversions of this IP editor's reversion of my edits, edits which were all made in keeping with general formatting standards applied to thousands of analogous articles and in reflection of long-standing collaboration with other editors. I've also made attempts to open a discussion with this editor, and those efforts were initially ignored in recent weeks and now have only been met with hostility today. Jweiss11 (talk) 18:57, 9 July 2018 (UTC)


 * NeilN, I think it some cases it make sense to repeat links in tables, particularly when they are long and require scrolling to navigate top to bottom. However, in the case of the college football schedule tables, the prevailing standard on thousands of analogous articles is not to repeat links, since they are rather short, usually not more than 15 or so rows.

 * Neil, I think this dispute is more about the willingness to work with other editors. It would be reasonable to debate the wikilinking styles of these tables at a place like Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football, perhaps with reference to those MOS discussions, and I suggested as much to this IP editor.  But we have an editor calling other editor's edits "stupid" and declaring that they will continue their own "better" way.  This is a behavior issue, not a content dispute.

(An IP editor initially adds a sentence on drug abuse with a reliable source which backs it up.)
 * 1 No reason for revert given

(Another IP restores it and moves to a more appropriate place.)
 * 2 Claims in edit summary that a sentence about drug abuse is not about criminal acts!

(Restored by original IP and now two refs.)
 * 3 Once again claiming nothing to do with crime.

(Once again restored by original IP.)
 * 4 Claims refs don't support the claim - which they do, clearly and unambiguously.

(Restored again by original IP stating that source does say so - which it does. Also CEs it a little.)
 * 5 No coherent reason given for reversion.

(A new IP but probably the second on a dynamic IP, restores the statement points out that ZH8000 is currently at 5RR and that if he reverts again he will take it here - and despite the warning:-)
 * 6 And has the gall to accuse the IP of vandalism.

No four are within 24 hours, but 6 reverts must be edit warring an anyone's book.

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: ZH8000 has dished out many 3RR warnings to others when he himself was blatantly violating the rule so is aware of the policy, but nevertheless this one was issued by one of the IPs before the sixth revert and summarily deleted as usual.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: Section to talk page headed "Added sentence by IP w/o any source". In fact it is sourced, but this was excactly the argument that ZH8000 tried to used in the previous case (see below). Also tries to imply that the IPs are a single person when there are clearly two involved (one from US and other(s) from UK). Cannot comment why IPs have not contributed to the talk page, but they were apparently simply reverting an unexplained removal of validly cited material.

Comments:

Note: I am not involved in this edit war other than to place my observations on ZH8000's behaviour on the article talk page. I decided to raise this because of the near identical behaviour that I reported previously.

This has a striking similarity with a previous attempt by ZH8000 to censor reliably sourced information from an article claiming that it was unsourced when it was reliably sourced (I speculated at the time that he doesn't like the sleight on his country - and I am now more convinced of that). This previous attempt was at Vignette (road tax), in which I was involved, and it became the subject of an edit warring report with ZH8000 at a staggering 7RR (here). ZH800 was warned by. went to issue the same warning but discovered he had been beaten to it. TheVicarsCat (talk) 13:29, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Comments: Editor appears to be an WP:SPA given the editor name and article name. Editor was briefly blocked soon after appearing for edit warring without a complaint here. Upon return, editor joined discussion; but failing to achieve consensus, restarted edit warring against multiple editors. O3000 (talk) 00:26, 12 July 2018 (UTC)


 * This "Edit Warring" Claim is Unfounded


 * First of all, I have gone to the talk page and made thorough cases, with citations, to justify the claims made and/or to refute counterclaims.


 * Second, edits made since the original block were made with input and discussion from the talk page after another editor suggested I take my case there. Since then, as I previously mentioned, I have provided at least a dozen sources to corroborate any claim or argument I presented.


 * Third, user:Objective3000 has been openly hostile and retaliatory after I have been able to successfully counter or refute his claims with sources, often actively undoing edits he disagrees with. He has disguised this edit warring by utilizing a Tu Quoque defense in the guise of respecting Wikipedia policies and guidelines.


 * Fourth, if I undid anything since contributing in the talk page, it has been with citations that refute arguments for exclusion, assuming arguments were made. In such cases, for example, editors such as user:Objective3000 make a claim such as (and here I speak facetiously for brevity's sake): "Because dogs are a type of carnivorous mammal, they must be all be dangerous to humans and that's what the article on dogs should say." I respond with: "No, not all dogs are dangerous, and here are citations (primary and secondary sources with links) showing that to be the case, so that fact should be made clear on the page." Editor responds, "Readers associate carnivores with dangerous animals, to suggest otherwise would confuse them." I respond, "Well, then maybe the article on carnivores should be revised so that readers understand that not all carnivores are dangerous," Editor responds, "No, that's too confusing and should not be reflected in the article on dogs." I respond: "If our concern is that readers should be exposed to facts and citations that support those facts, we should update pages to reflect the facts and let readers go from there." Editor responds: "There's no consensus on dogs not being dangerous, so it shouldn't be included in the article." And then he goes on to undo the edit I may have made on the relevant page ("Dogs aren't dangerous, etc." [Citation]) and then reports me for edit warring after I continue arguing my claim for hours and days of seemingly nonstop back and forth, all the while threatening me with policies he claims I've violated, without once providing any facts with sources that refute any claims I made, or actively working to achieve consensus. Just deletions and threats.


 * I ask then, if user:Objective3000, who reported me, or any fellow editor wants meaningful consensus, should there not be meaningful discussion? Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case, so I appeal this and ask admin to consider the nature of the content that is the real question at hand. There shouldn't be precedent for double standards or for deleting sources that disagree with one's political views which user:Objective3000 has engaged in. I don't care if user:Objective3000 holds a particular personal view, but I think that presenting readers with the facts comes first. How else is consensus built, if not with all the facts on the table? If we threaten and report every person who finds sources that disagree with our personal views, how do we expect this site to remain as useful and helpful as readers expect?


 * P.S.: The name wasn't intended as a WP:SPA. That was a spur of the moment name I came up with because that's what I was reading about at the moment the account was created. Clearly I wasn't as clever as I thought I was being as I had created the name before I was fully aware of the implications such name might evoke. On that, and that alone, I accept fault.

 * Comments:

Oh, that's right, there aren't any [Diffs of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page]. That's because RandNetter96 is repeatedly reverting an edit that has a completely clear and valid explanation, without making any statement that could possibly be the subject of discussion. Condescending templates are not a substitute for thought! If RandNetter96 had the WP:COMPETENCE to judge the quality of the edit, there would be no problem, but apparently they do not -- indeed, they don't even seem vaguely interested in the question of whether the edit is good or not. (Here's a hint: of course it is.) If you're concerned about that, you can do what any reasonable person would do and go ask the experts. Anyhow, yes, I am in violation of 3RR, and if that means a block, so be it. Of course RandNetter96 is now also in violation (not to mention this, a clear and unambiguous violation of the relevant guideline), so I'm sure that I can expect admins to behave in a thoughtful and even-handed way. --2601:142:3:F83A:2836:5723:BC35:E4C6 (talk) 20:14, 11 July 2018 (UTC) (Moved to correct section by RandNetter96)

Maybe you should spend 5 minutes seeing what google can tell you about Florentin Smarandache?  There's a lot out there -- he's a notorious self-promoter and pseudo-mathematician.  Take a look at the talk page, as well, where you can see a half-dozen related discussions about the weakness of various sources associated with him.  You can also see the deletion discussion of the article about him.

You can't use the original research and neutral point of view arguments against math! I will say this. I struggle to grok anything beyond the Reimann Hypothesis (and even then I struggle past "it's something really complicated to do with primes and complex numbers, and I think 1/2 is involved somewhere, ummm), so I tip my hat to anyone who understands more maths than that. I'm going to look and see if Matt Parker or Brady Haran has anything on the Kempner function so I can at least get some understanding of it. Looking at the edits, it seems to me that 2601 is trying to remove a theory that has been either discredited or proven to be incorrect, and experience also tells me if you pick a fight with an experienced mathematician without being on the same academic level, you can expect to get blowback. (As an analogous example, go to the Linux Kernel mailing list and pick a fight with Linus Torvalds - you'll get a far worse response). You need to stop with the templated messages as they'll at best have no effect (and at worst get you a boomerang) and go and find a subject expert at WikiProject Mathematics who understands the material - I don't. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  20:46, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Rather than "discredited", I would describe it as more of a fringe or weight issue: the statements there are not wrong (probably), but Smarandache's orbit consists of a small, fringe-y group of people who go around naming every last thing after him and publishing non-interesting results in fake journals; the results I removed are unlikely ever to be cited by anyone outside that tiny clique. Anyhow, I appreciate your (Ritchie333) comment for its straightforwardness: if the original edit consistent of this kind of honest evaluation and explanation, instead of a BS formalist edit summary and inane template job, there would have been a subject for discussion and no edit war.  --2601:142:3:F83A:2836:5723:BC35:E4C6 (talk) 20:59, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I would further add that a quick glance at Talk:Kempner function shows that Smarandache has been all over this article for some years, picking fights with some of the regulars, so I'm hardly surprised that people want to keep his self-promotion out of the article. I realise WP:HNST is a bit of light-hearted relief, but this really is one case where the standard Twinkle templates inflamed a situation, rather than resolved it. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  21:18, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
 * If I may continue to offer my own twist on your take: as RandNetter inferred, I'm not new, and so WP:HNST isn't quite the right fit for me. Instead, as I see it, the kind of editors who spend all their time doing two-click-revert-and-template jobs are behaving without any thoughtfulness or engagement, and it comes off as condescending, rude, and thoughtless.  You can see the same thing here, for example: the person reverting my edit has clearly not read the diff or the page history (although in that case, I admit, my edit summary was lacking).  If they took the time to do the basic kind of investigation suggested by your first sentence, there would be no problem at all.  The level of decency/thoughtfulness/effort required to avoid this kind of situation is very, very minimal, but a lot of editors seem not to be interested in it.  --2601:142:3:F83A:2836:5723:BC35:E4C6 (talk) 21:38, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Mutawallis II delete the British Volunteers from Infobox military conflict of South American Independence, specialty of their country. Thanks Caminoderoma (talk) 18:01, 10 July 2018 (UTC)


 * I want to point out that the editor of Caminoderoma has eliminated my editions and has added controversial information, knowing that he knows that situation. With Caminoderoma we have had the same conflict in the Spanish Wikipedia. In that place, we have been imposed an absolute prohibition to intervene in articles in which the other has edited, as a measure to end the conflict.


 * Caminoderoma has edited the article with malice, to affect my work. For my part, I avoided entering the articles that he intervened so that it does not happen again the same as in the Wikipedia in Spanish. However, Caminoderoma insists on its provocations now on the English Wikipedia. --Muwatallis II (talk) 18:22, 10 July 2018 (UTC)


 * The rule in Spanish Wikipedia is delete any British or Foreign intervention in South American Independence in the Template:Infobox military conflict. This is not the rule here, in the English Wikipedia. And I demand respect Muwatallis II to my work WP:EQ.--Caminoderoma (talk) 18:42, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

The article in question had created it, and I began to work little by little on it (I still do not finish it). Caminoderoma intervened in the article editing the same points in which we have had conflicts in several articles of the Wikipedia in Spanish, so it is evident the bad faith with which that editor acts to provoke conflict.

See resolution of the conflict in the Wikipedia in Spanish. --Muwatallis II (talk) 19:51, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Any reason why you shouldn't both be blocked for violating WP:3RR? --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 20:12, 10 July 2018 (UTC)


 * If you consider it necessary, I accept it. But I want to make clear that Caminoderoma has intervened in the article in bad faith, because with it we have had several conflicts in the Spanish Wikipedia on the same subject, and now he is looking to generate the same conflict in English Wikipedia. In the future, Caminoderoma will continue to do the same for the purpose of exhausting. --Muwatallis II (talk) 20:31, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
 * You may want to look at posting to WP:3O for help. What was decided on Spanish Wikipedia has no bearing here (and vice versa). --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 21:16, 10 July 2018 (UTC)


 * I follow your suggestion and ask for a third opinion (if I did it right). Thanks for your understanding NeilN.  About Muwatallis II, I demand respect WP:EQ one more time.--Caminoderoma (talk) 22:23, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
 * NeilN you will see that the user delete all the British Flags in other article. here, and Muwatallis changes the template war faction, as Confederate States Navy, to template of military unit. Unilateral, without any explanation, no reason to do that, only to delete the British intervention, commanders and sailors. --Caminoderoma (talk) 23:30, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

I follow your suggestion, ask for a third opinion: write in the article and wait with the infobox. And finding opinion. Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Military_history But it is impossible, Mutwallis delete the information again and again and move the information lost in another article!. .I'm worried, Mutwallis look for the conflict editing to obtain a mutual blockade. Sorry I need your help, What should I do. Thank you. --Caminoderoma (talk) 19:13, 12 July 2018 (UTC)


 * The editor of Caminoderoma does not tell the truth. I have not deleted the information you have placed, I have only moved it to the corresponding article section. However, he insists on repeating the same information in the introduction, achieving a tendentious and useless redundancy. All changes have been duly explained. --Muwatallis II (talk) 19:22, 12 July 2018 (UTC)


 * No, you move the information so that it is not visible --Caminoderoma (talk) 19:43, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

The editor of Caminoderoma continues the conflict, even though a paragraph was added to make the information it analyzes more striking. Continue placing repeated information. --Muwatallis II (talk) 20:31, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Regarding the use of talk page, I already used the editor's talk page and Template talk:DPR RI.

User:Skylax30 went too far to support his edit in Souliotes. He claims that the text he modified was unsourced so he had every right to revert more than 3 times. The fact is that is was not unsourced, it was well sourced, but the exact quotation of some sources was missing. After his first edit was denied, he chose not to establish a consensus in Talk Page, but proceed to an edit war.

 * Comment:  He undid some of the edits on Articles for deletion/RoFx but left vague edit summaries such as "Not a deletion sorting for this page" and expects me to have read his edit summary at the US deletion page.  Any admins handling this case may wish to read User_talk:WilliamJE and User_talk:Domdeparis. I have to admit the tone of comments borderline being beligerant and uncivil. In addition, WilliamJE continually take off the notice to this edit warring page.  Perhaps to hide it from those commenting on the talk page? --<i style="font-family:'Rock salt','Comic Sans MS','Courier New',Verdana; color: Green;">Tyw7</i>  (🗣️ Talk to me • ✍️ Contributions) 11:42, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment I have been reverted twice for using this US deletion sorting in a way that he doesn't approuve of first here and when I asked why here User_talk:WilliamJE I was told I don't see the point in complaining rather than fixing one's mistakes at deletion sorting. Apparently it is a habit around here. See the discussion thread just above this one and then here User_talk:Domdeparis where I was basically told that I should have carried out more research to find a different category than USA. I disagree with this analysis of both cases as the first is a nationwide award and it just happens to be awarded by an organisation based in Washington state and the second is a person that does not identify with any particular place either personally or professionally and defines herself as a nomad but is American but mostly it is the agressiveness of the replies that is most worrying. Dom from Paris (talk) 12:09, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment. User:WilliamJE is just coming off a block for exactly this sort of behavior, at this same location. While he's dialed it down a little, it seems he didn't learn very much.Jacona (talk) 13:01, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Think that we need to open a Topic Ban discussion for him Hhkohh (talk) 13:18, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Seems like an overreaction to me.Jacona (talk) 16:28, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
 * But what do you suggest if, as you say it seems he didn't learn very much. A block seems too severe but what to do if someone acts as if they WP:OWN a particular page and is bitey every time they believe that their particular set of rules are being infringed and will not allow anyone else to say differently? There seems to be no way of forming consent because they are the only one who is reverting delsorting on this page. I have notified the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Deletion sorting as they may have some useful input about the importance of this problem. Dom from Paris (talk) 17:01, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I disagree your suggest because has previously blocked due to edit warring Hhkohh (talk) 01:13, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I get that but as it seems to be only this particular subject that gets him so riled up maybe a topic ban is more appropriate. He seems to be acting in good faith and is convinced that what he is doing is justified which is why I left a message on the delsort project page to have their take on it. I honestly don't get why this category needs to be so heavily defended as that. I don't see anyone doing that elsewhere and for good cause as this is the only page that has a recommendation not to add discussions directly there. That text does not exist on the Europe page or the Africa page etc etc. It was added by User:Thivierr in 2006 here as a suggestion and has since been taken as policy by some. Maybe it is time to modify it and take away its statutory nature as perceived by WilliamJE and this problem will simply go away. Dom from Paris (talk) 05:17, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
 * So I Suggest a topic ban for him as above and a 1-week block for him as repeated edit warring Hhkohh (talk) 05:52, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I think a topic ban would be premature. Mis-sorting deletions is a common error, and WilliamJE is acting in good faith. However, WilliamJE need to remember to AP:AGF and avoid WP:BITEing users who make mistakes. If he is unable to do so after a final warning, I would support a topic ban. — BillHPike (talk, contribs) 23:07, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

The edit summaries have become increasingly battle-ground: "Are you people mad?", "Vandalism by lunatics", etc. They were warned regarding 3RR at User talk:31.50.203.144; the page was protected, but when the protection lifted the IP returned to making the same reverts. Choice edit summaries such as "Undid vandalism by lunatics" and "Are you people mad?" have also been used. —SerialNumber54129 paranoia / cheap sh*t room 21:02, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Both blocked 24h . I have and I have read the reference in detail. Not him. Mutawalli change the numbers to delete the foreign volunteers. I read the sources that say the same thing: there is no chileans from the ship O'Higgins. This is a table with the exact information of the sources. Mutawalli has published false numbers in the article. He changed the references Semicolon  and Coma, changing the results of the numbers. In spanish is the same use. Thanks.


 * "These numbered 240 man, 92 from the O'Higgins; 99, of whom nearly half, 43 were chileans, from the Lautaro; and 49, of whom 15 were Chileans, from the Independencia. Of the 32 officers, petty officers, midshipmen and marine and regular army officers on the enterprise, all but five were British or North American". Cubitt.1974 page 302

--Caminoderoma (talk) 20:03, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
 * "Se seleccionaron 240 hombres: 92 de la O'Higgins; 99 del Lautaro, la mitad de ellos chilenos; y 49 de la Independencia, 15 de ellos chilenos. De los 32 oficiales, sólo cinco eran chilenos." Urrutia,2008 page 148


 * The editor Caminoderoma seems not to understand the quote from Cubitt, his accusation about the alteration of the numbers is based solely on his lack of knowledge of the English language. On the other hand, he insists on making a larger figuration regarding the issue of nationalities, even though several editors have expressed how irrelevant it is. (see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history) For this reason, I have transferred part of what is indicated to an explanatory note, leaving only the Cubbitt reference because it is complete, that way it does not occupy so much space and does not cut the narration of the central theme of the article. --Muwatallis II (talk) 20:20, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
 * No, it is not a question of knowledge of the English language. In English (Cubitt) and Spanish (Urrutia) is the same thing. Muwatallis changes Semicolon and Coma, changing the results of the numbers. --Caminoderoma (talk) 20:33, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

Caminoderoma is right about the number of Chileans and foreigners. I was wrong and I corrected the error. As for the other matter, I keep the other information in the corresponding note because it is of less relevance. --Muwatallis II (talk) 20:50, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

Comments:

This is not a 3RR report (though it may be past 3RR now), but a report of robotic revert-warring against multiple editors at three (probably more) pages, continuing after level-4 warning. Total refusal to communicate in any way, and just keeps re-making the exact same edits, including wreckage of tables; addition of patently false, disproved "information"; ungrammatical text edits; and unsourced possibly promotional material (especially about a fake cat breed called "Perfold" which cannot be found in any reliable sources, only WP:UGC and WP:SPS laced with spammy claims). What's going on at the Taxonomic rank article I haven't examined in great detail, but this person clearly has no idea what they're talking about and has no business editing a key science article like that. Why these edits are unconstructive has been explained to this anon by at least four editors, and in great and civil detail by me (I encouraged account creation, and invited to wikiproject). — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  17:43, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
