Comments: My whole work gets repeatedly deleted. I try to do it good but it seems impossible, that is very sad! There are three users did delete my work: user:GSS, user:David_Gerard, user:Grayfell - I feel very much hindered to write on wikipedia. I also asked @MER-C on my talk-page for a third opinion, but go no answer. The last accuse was 'promotional' which i can not see. Also, these three users are deleting content without contributing that aticle themselves, it seems like they are mainly suppressing. I should get much more honored as contributor. Sorry for that sad story. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kuckuckz (talk • contribs)


 * Note: this article is under 1RR and general sanctions per WP:GS/Crypto. MER-C 19:06, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Result: I have placed Cardano (cryptocurrency platform) under extended confirmed protection per the GS/CRYPTO sanctions. Recently there have been changes made by people with fewer than 500 Wikipedia edits who seem to be enthusiasts for the topic and may not be familiar with Wikipedia standards. For example, one of them removed the 'unreliable sources' tag. The sanctions at WP:GS/CRYPTO were adopted by the community to deal with this kind of issue. New editors can still use the article talk page to propose changes. EdJohnston (talk) 12:14, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * You seem to be referring to me with regards to one of the new edits? How is this supposed to assist in the creation of the wiki article. In my comment I describe my reasoning for removing the tag. TNO is a well established source and even has its own wiki page: Nederlandse Organisatie voor toegepast-natuurwetenschappelijk onderzoek (also an english page). Instead of shutting down edits in its entirety from new individuals one could simply undo the small edit instead of blocking new users from trying to improve the page? Seems like quite an over-reaction. I left the "irrelevant citation" there as it can be improved upon with another source but to call a National institute for Dutch research unreliable doesn't make much sense, hence why I removed the tag. Edits the user complaint above ^ is referring to are deletions by GSS/David (so it seems) as stated above. Blockchainus Maximus (talk) 12:29, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Was asked to consider writing a report here. User had been informed about 'citation clutter' and WP:CITEMERGE but continued to revert. The edit in question is one phrase "of Turkish" having five different ref footnotes when all I did was merge three of the smallest footnotes into one ref box with bullet-points as suggested in the WP page above, reducing 5 to 3 refs. If we can't even start a cleanup process than there's not much hope for the rest of the article. This is tame and clear-cut and not worth being dragged out further.

Edit warring on multiple articles by an anonym (Result: Both IP editors warned)
Hello, I am new here. I would like to bring to your attention that an anonymous editor constantly reverts my good faith edits on various articles. He had accused me of disruptive editing, although, what I mostly did was changing a dead link here, adding authors here, and removed multiple periods here. He also does some disruptive edits here, here and a complete bizarre edit here.--170.135.176.108 (talk) 17:55, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * The above editor is stripping all spaces from the Infoboxes of articles he edits for no reason. His edits are disruptive. See Template:Infobox film, there is no good reason not to keep the same layout, there is no excuse for stripping out all the spaces. I have reverted his disruptive edits. I have made good faith edits to keep his constructive changes such as adding archive URLs. See also Help:List, there's no reason for stripping spaces from lists either. -- 109.76.200.104 (talk) 20:49, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * He also has some strange habits. He changes citation formatting to this |author=Ebert, Roger| instead of using the citation parameters first and last parameters and author-link, like this |last=Ebert |first=Roger |author-link . (It is a small difference but using first and last is semantically better. I wouldn't criticize someone for using author when adding a reference but deliberate changing a reference back to use author instead of first/last and author-link is not an improvement.) Some of his also edits removed templates from Infoboxes replacing them with plaintext dates, a minor problem but not an improvement. He also actively ignores WP:LINEBREAK.
 * I don't know what he finds bizarre about my edit to that film article I tidied the Infobox formatting. I tidied the lists. Instead created various subsections, using headings as recommended by WP:MOSFILM instead of putting unrelated information all under one mixed up heading. Also the article already included a Home media section about the VHS further down, it was redundant to include it twice.
 * I warned 170.135.176.108 that his edits were disruptive, but maybe I could have made my warning clearer but him turning around and accusing me of vandalism is unexpected. Stripping spaces from articles is pointless, readability is the main reason but there are technical reasons too, Wikipedia is compressed in various ways, you gain nothing by stripping spaces out, that the compression algorithms wont do better. I ask him again to stop making disruptive edits. Some of his edits are constructive, best of luck. -- 109.76.200.104 (talk) 21:05, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * No he did not! He undid changes on this article and demanded that I should archived urls instead of changing them. The thing is, is that new url is shorter, and it shows the same content, so I don't know why he insists on reverting.--170.135.176.108 (talk) 21:10, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I too warned the above editor here, indicating that edit warring over spaces is pointless and he gets nothing by adding them.--170.135.176.108 (talk) 21:10, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * By the time I reverted that swimmer article I had seen the pattern of disruptive edits, in that case I did not make the effort to keep any good parts of the edit, but you could improve the links without stripping all the spaces out of the Infobox.
 * You might personally think spaces are pointless, but why do you think the examples provided by the Template:Infobox film do things that way? Why do you think it is a good idea not to follow the example of the documentation? Why are you actively determined to strip out spaces, what makes you think that improves articles in any way?
 * I find his edits persistently disruptive and a minor collection of annoyances so I provided a gentle warning on his talk page. He responded by accusing me of vandalism. -- 109.76.200.104 (talk) 21:30, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Note to administrators please note that Special:Contributions/170.135.176.108 and Special:Contributions/170.135.241.45 IP addresses are both registered to the same group: US Bancorp. They seem to be two like minded editors working together. -- 109.76.200.104 (talk) 21:34, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I came here to archive dead links, authors, dates, and do good stuff. Other editors from US Bank were vandals, I am at least trying to add something useful, but of course, an anonym won't allow it. He thinks he owns the article or something. The examples in the Template:Infobox film are default settings, and we can change them however we like. I'm determined to strip spaces because most do not have them, and it is pointless to edit an article for that reason alone. So, with that said, you are being disruptive, not me.--170.135.241.45 (talk) 21:43, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * And now look: he accuses me of inserting "unnecessary abbreviations". I didn't insert anything.:(--170.135.241.45 (talk) 21:50, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * (I did not "accuse" you of anything, but when you reverted my edit you also restored an unnecessary abbreviation which unfortunately many older film articles use, because people lazily copied the runtimes directly from IMDB.)
 * I have already agreed not all your edits are disruptive. I ask you to stop and think about stripping spaces. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a good reason. I urge you to look at the help documentation and the templates documentation and the recommendations of guidelines such as WP:LINEBREAK. I'm not asking to add spaces, but I am asking you to leave well enough alone and not deliberately remove spaces from articles.
 * If as you say yourself, you are "determined to strip spaces" and admit you have no intention of abiding by the examples of the documentation I would ask the administrators to put you on a temporary block to give you some time to think over that decision. -- 109.76.200.104 (talk) 21:54, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

 * This editor did not have to escalate this and accuse me of vandalism. This editor did not even stop during this discussion and continued to strip spaces from articles. He has clearly stated that he has no intention of changing his behavior. I maintain my request that this editor (and his friend) be blocked temporarily. -- 109.76.200.104 (talk) 22:53, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

I'd like to present my point of view on this. 170.135.176.108 started later with Mike Kenny (swimmer), but I started from the film article Milk_Money. I usually edit film articles, and removed user ratings from Amazon and IMDB that are not allowed because of they are WP:USERGENERATED and WP:UNRELIABLE. Shortly after 170.135.241.45 (who I will refer to as BankcorpUser45) changed the article with the edit summary "Authors, page and clean-up." where he stripped all the spacing from the infobox and lists, (ignoring the example of Template:Infobox film, and Help:List) and in citations replaced first and last parameters with the author field, containing a comma and wiki links (which isn't so bad but leaving first last and adding author-link would have been better). (It isn't clear why he removed the title from the reference to San Jose Mercury News either.) It doesn't help that the editor was declaring his forcing of his preferred personal style (of no spaces) as "clean-up". So I reverted those changes and fixed a link while I was at it. (Later he did not check before reverting and carelessly removed the URL I added for Janet Maslin.)

I then made an effort to see if this was a pattern of edits, and see if I needed to correct related problems on multiple articles, particularly film articles. A pattern of edits was evident, (some bad, some good, some sloppy). I can understand how some editors might think removing unused parameters from Infoboxes might seem helpful but when an film article is only Start class we should for example be working to try and find budget information for that film, not removing the empty field entirely. Stripping out spaces on a very stable Good Article or Featured article is less of a problem because (at least in theory) there is less need for anyone to read the markup to make changes and fixes, but on the kinds of lower quality articles Bankcorp45 and Bankcorp108 have been editing stripping spaces just makes the markup less readable for the next editor who might be trying to improve the article, and removing unused parameters from the Infobox discourages editors from actually filling in the blanks. I thought the pattern of edits were a little naive and aggressive and wished they could make the obviously good archive fixes without all the unnecessary stripping of spaces, and slightly odd reformatting of author fields.

At first I didn't notice that pattern of edits came from both 170.135.241.45 and 170.135.176.108 (Bankcorp108), and gradually realized it was most likely two editors working together. I tried to fix some more of the articles, I warned Bankcorp45 that his edits were not constructive. I made a note on Bankcorp108's page asking him to please follow the recommended formatting of WP:LINEBREAK. Not following the all guidelines or an established style when you are adding to an article is one thing, but actively changing things away from what the guidelines recommend is disruptive.

The response was to cry foul, accuse me of vandalism. They didn't consider my recommendations at all, they didn't politely disagree, Bankcorp108 instead escalated to accusations of vandalism. (I've worked with people like him, goofing off at work editing Wikipedia but immediately cries foul when he thinks others aren't playing by the rules.) They have reverted my edits with little consideration. As you can see above Bankcorp108 has clearly stated that he is determined to continue to strip spaces from articles, even though this isn't in keeping with the examples provided by the documentation, or any existing style in an article. And after rushing to accuse me of vandalism Bankcorp108 then declares he is gone for the weekend! On a personal note I would like them to consider for their own sake that perhaps their employer would not be impressed if they knew employees were editing Wikipedia when they are supposed to be working and that maybe it would be better if they edited Wikipedia on their own time. I'd like them to reconsider their editing behavior, but I don't think they will even recognize that their pattern of editing is aggressive (and rushing to accuse other editors of vandalism is certainly aggressive) without some kind of of short term block as a warning. (For convenience feel free to refer to me as 109 for short). I will continue to check this thread over the next few days. -- 109.76.200.104 (talk) 15:31, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I learned about WP:BOOMERANG (while checking out other parts of this page). Interesting that it happens often enough to have a name.
 * I do not like being called a vandal, I hope this can be resolved soon, and would appreciate clarification from administrators on this matter. (I will check again at some point on Monday.) -- 109.79.76.103 (talk) 20:42, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
 * And I don't like being called a disruptive editor.
 * Now, I wasted 4 hours of my precious life reverting nonsensical edits by 109. I assumed that I will come here, edit a few articles by adding reception and other stuff (which you all can do too, but non chooses, everybody have something else to do and someone else to blame for their shortcomings). As for your comment: "On a personal note I would like them to consider for their own sake that perhaps their employer would not be impressed if they knew employees were editing Wikipedia when they are supposed to be working and that maybe it would be better if they edited Wikipedia on their own time."
 * So you know more about my job then I would know about my own mother???!!! Let me guess, non of you are employed, so you can judge anybody?
 * Also, why are you crying foul? I can't edit Wikipedia on my own time? I need to play according to what you like and what you don't like? Are you my employer? Yes, I was gone for the weekend, so what? How often do anybody of you go on Wikibreaks? How many of you have something else to do besides edit warring here? Do you have other hobbies? Families? I wish I could have ended this debacle sooner, but unfortunately, the site won't allow me to edit anything from my phone. I also have no obligation to disclose why I edit Wikipedia from work, but OK. Have anybody heard of 15-minute breaks? So, during those time, by law, I can do whatever, and, if I choose to edit Wikipedia, there is no code that will prohibit me from doing that. I'm also a manager of this organization, and, as long as no employees are needing anything, I can edit this thing 24/7. Again, there is no code against that either, nor in Wikipedia, nor in the organization's policies.
 * Speaking of policies, have 109 read on WP:IAR? This policy explains why your WP:HOUNDING of my edits is not welcome here. I can ignore your edits as long as you will ignore mine.:) Also, please read on WP:Harassment. While we are not there yet, hounding of someone's edits is a precursor to that.
 * As for my sloppy editing, how can edit not sloppy if I am being hounded? I seen it.
 * And, my note to admins: If editor 109 have a right to question legitimacy of my IP accounts, keep in my mind that there are numerous of editors here under this IP. This leads to suspicion that user 109 is also, either edits from both IPs (which are registered to Vodafone), or is a sockpuppet of user:109.77.151.81 (formerly known as Mieszko 8). Note: In order for an IP to be considered a sockpuppet, the editing patterns and topics are not required to be the same. The IP could have just awoken from a "slumber" and decided to attack a different topic, using hounding tactic instead. I hope that the admins will look into that matter too and make a wise decision.--170.135.241.45 (talk) 14:40, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Admins? Still hoping for answers and clarification here.
 * Again Bankcorp108/Bankcorp45 didn't have to escalate this by accusing me of vandalism. He could revert and disagree without needing to call me a vandal in his edit summaries. He could try WP:BRD. (I do not have a problem with him using different IP addresses, but it wasn't clear if it was one person or two friends with the same editing habits.)
 * He thinks he was being hounded, but doesn't accept that it might be that he has been making lots of mistakes, and that not following the examples of the templates and not following various guidelines might be a bad thing, disruptive even. If he looks again at WP:STYLEVAR, it tells us both to leave well enough alone, and that includes his stripping out spaces from Infoboxes (also replacing first and last with author is also the kind of thing STLYEVAR is trying to tell editors not to do). He thinks WP:NOTBROKEN doesn't apply to the changes he is making, only to other editors.
 * I do not like how he removes spaces but he's making plenty of other mistakes too that his stripping of spaces makes more difficult to see. Removing URLs does not improve an article. When you add references to The New York Times include the URL too so other editors can easily WP:VERIFY and read the article. Removing (birth) date templates not good either. (He removed an Amazon.com URL but didn't replace it with a better reference, until a much later edit. WP:RSPSOURCES does say Amazon.com links can be used sometimes, and a it is still better than no reference at all.) Other edits aren't wrong, they just seem unhelpful and don't improve the article.
 * I welcome comments from admins. I choose to edit anonymously, and as far as I know I'm following the rules, but there are a whole lot of rules, and we all make mistakes sometimes. But we don't all accuse people of vandalism when our edits get reverted. -- 109.76.130.104 (talk) 01:11, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Under different IPs, 109.76.130.104 has received warnings for edit warring, not using sources, unconstructive editing, and removing maintenance templates (and those are what I could find). Their editing under different IPs may not be WP:ILLEGIT, but it's hard not to be suspicious of their reasons for doing so, especially since they cited a humorous essay in response to a suggestion to register as a user. KyleJoan talk 03:17, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * People throw those warnings like candies at Halloween, most were spurious. I responded to KyleJoan at length already https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:109.79.184.96 and when people raise concerns I DISCUSS on the relevant article talk pages (but not usually on user talk pages), and again here I have tried to discuss and learn more.
 * KyleJoan accused me of being a sock puppet and was told I was not. I think it is because KyleJoan is very protective of the Charlies Angels article, but it could be something else. You don't need to like me but your suspicions are unfounded. Take a look at the diffs, judge the edits not the user. Tell me you'd be okay with Bankcorp108 stripping spaces or removing URLs from any of the pages you protect. -- 109.76.130.104 (talk) 03:48, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Edit warring is a conduct policy, therefore, it is your conduct that's under scrutiny and not the content you added/removed. I'm merely presenting a theory about your reasoning for editing anonymously, as you put it, which is to give yourself a clean slate every few weeks or so to avoid blocks since registered users won't see past warnings on your previous IP addresses' talk pages. KyleJoan talk 04:50, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Maybe I shouldn't have called you a vandal, but a hounder, you are. Admit it. My "unhelpful edit here does follow a policy, that is WP:EXTERNALLINK which clearly says that it "shouldn't be a collection of external links". For a stub, one external link is enough. There is nothing illegit about using an IP over a username but there is a problem why you are using it and how. For example, I use my IP to add sources to the content, there is nothing wrong about it. You, on the other hand, use it to stalk me, which is strange because I personally didn't do anything to you. Some articles do come stripped of spaces and as I see, not many editors really care. Edit warring over it is another matter. As for my errors, I would like to apologize, but knowing that 109 will come back, revert, and accuse me of being disruptive, or revert properly archived sources which are put there so that the links can be verified causes me to do all sort of errors. Please, stop following me around as I am here only to cause disruption. If you want to fight vandalism go to other articles/topics. I bet our Covid-19 articles are vandalized more then anything else now. Go do something useful there. :)--170.135.241.45 (talk) 16:20, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Again, our anonym is being impatient because admins don't respond to his tantrums. But what he doesn't get is that admins are human beings, they are busy, and I bet many just ignore such impatient editors. You don't own Wikipedia. Nobody owns it, so stop demanding quick resolution, blocks, etc. You are not in charge here. If I would have been your manager, I probably would sent you home without a check for that day. Nobody likes annoying editors/employees who are gathering to cry about their rights as an editor. :)--170.135.241.45 (talk) 16:31, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * (Now, I don't who will respond first Kyle or Joan? :)), thanks for mentioning on the anonyms' possibly previous unconstructive activities. Should I file an SPI report? Because, how I see it, is that a possible sock have changed tactics. I think, those edits alone (of following users and reverting archived sources) worth an investigation.--170.135.241.45 (talk) 16:46, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Ok. See you all in couple of days.--170.135.241.45 (talk) 22:15, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * If Bankcorp108 believes his deleting all those External links is in accordance with WP:EXTERNALLINK it would be better if he mentioned WP:EXTERNALLINK or WP:EL or WP:ELDUP in his edit summary. I think he is again misinterpreting the policies, 5 External links is not that many, and I think that delete was indiscriminate. The links to the AFI and particularly the link to Internet Archive which provides a public domain link to the whole film should not have been deleted.
 * I'm not the one who escalated this. Bankcorp108 is trying to suggest that my checking a few of his edits is somehow causing him to make more errors than he was already making. So I reverted an edit that wasn't entirely bad (it archive a link) and he cries foul, but when I added an URL to a New York Times reference he reverted it. (It make sense little sense why anyone would add new references to the NYT without including an URL in the first place, but I've seen other editors do that recently too.)
 * You can file an SPI but you'd be wasting the admins time same as when KyleJoan did it. I don't pretend to be someone I'm not, I edit anonymously, I use the IP address randomly assigned to me.
 * The top of this board says "Sections older than 48 hours are archived" so I expected admins response time would be related to that but it seems response time is much longer. -- 109.78.193.104 (talk) 15:01, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello, why is it that you people have to report whenever things don’t go your way , fellow editors take a look at the Conor mcgregor article and please help us out there to avoiding an edit war. I am trying to get to a new consensus because of some false consensus several editors have reached to. It’s time to start a new consensus but the editors, especially the Irish person won’t accept to start discussing like a normal person would on Wikipedia. I did nothing wrong. I could report the user who reported me for edit warring as well, but I understand wiki guidelines more and I am more patient. Please take a look at the new note edit I made and write back. Whether consensus is reached or not the sources they chose are in the note itself but I added the Sherdog source as well because according to multimedia wiki edits it’s the most reliable and has been used in many other mma articles.Wikiman122112 (talk) 13:24, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

3RR has been breached. 1, 2, 3, 4 (yes, this does indeed count as a revert). This editor previous block for edit warring expired just yesterday. They were removing Sherdog as a source, breached 3RR and received a deserved 1 week block. Now they've edit warred again, breached 3RR, but this time they're motive is to include Sherdog. Classic case of WP:POINTy. The "false consensus" this user speaks of was achieved through a lengthy discussion at Talk:Conor McGregor, in which several editors participated (including admins), of which the majority agreed that 5'9 is the height to be listed. – 2 . O . Boxing  14:28, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

And now a fifth revert. – 2 . O . Boxing  15:35, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Baha I didn't even notice! Just to note, the editor in question has previously vandalised a report here regarding them in the past. – 2 . O . Boxing  14:52, 29 October 2020 (UTC)


 * – User has been blocked twice previously in the month of October alone! Now they are removing part of their own report. They previously removed an entire AN3 report on October 14. If they have any defense for this nonsense (either the constant revert warring on heights and weights of fighters, or removal of their own report) they should offer it in their unblock appeal.

The reported user is reverting this page for almost 3 months now against several users including me and has done more than 10 reverts. As you can see the user bounces the article back and forth against several users. The user is removing the word "Afghan" from "Turco-Afghan" or "Turkic-Afghan" several times and wants it to be "Turkic" Solely, although the information is well sourced. The user is warned already and in the edit summaries me and other users pointed out to the user that the user should use Talk pages for reaching a consensus for the user's "idea or Point of View". The sources are against the user so I do not understand the many reverts. This is obvious edit-warring for the same information again and again for the same goal against many users.

Comments: This user has recently been blocked but still continues edit-warring. They have been on a revert spree for the past 48 hours: and doesn't appear to stop. Some edit-summaries are misleading: "ce" when in fact the user has reverted detailed information. Étienne Dolet (talk) 18:48, 29 October 2020 (UTC)


 * I'm going to answer too all of these one by one. I've been reported several times over this article, and all have been resulted in my favor. This isn't the first time I'm getting unjustly reported.


 * 1 – this isn't a revert. There's a difference between a revert and removing something from the article. In any case, nobody contested it.
 * 2 and 5 – there's a discussion going on about it. I've explained it, but EtienneDolet didn't even cared to respond. This is totally justified on my behalf. You'd got to respect WP:CONSENSUS.
 * 3 and 4 – yet again justified. The footage was literally copied from Telegram with the watermark stuck to it. The footage was replaced with a free one later on by another user.
 * 6 – you seem to fail to understand what WP:COPYEDITING means. If you objected my ce, you could have headed over to the talk page. Copyediting might include removal of certain content too. Putting WP:ASSUMEGOODFAITH here.

Furthermore, this is not the article's talk page, it's my talk page. And that's not even an attempt to resolve dispute, it's just a warning spam on my talk page. Such actions won't put weight to your point. recently been blocked doesn't represent the reality too.

That's it. --► Sincerely:  Sola Virum  19:13, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * it appears you made three reverts within 24 hours on 21:13, 27 October 2020; 13:44, 27 October 2020 and 21:18, 26 October 2020, is not that right? Citing WP:Reversion policy “A reversion is an edit, or part of an edit, that completely reverses a prior edit, restoring at least part of an article to what it was before the prior edit. Reverting is appropriate mostly for vandalism or other disruptive edits. The Wikipedia edit warring policy forbids repetitive reverting. If you see a good-faith edit which you believe lowers the quality of the article, make a good-faith effort to reword instead of just reverting it... Assuming good faith that all you want to do is to make the article better, still getting into a habit of reverting others' edits may make others feel that somehow a particular user has taken extra rights on editing the article, obstructing others from doing so without the permission of that user. Regards, Armatura (talk) 21:43, 29 October 2020 (UTC) ‎
 * it's actually five reverts within a span of 24 hours: . Please see the time stamps. Étienne Dolet (talk) 21:55, 29 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 07:25, 30 October 2020 (UTC) There are definitely four reverts that I am very comfortable are clear reverts:   and . While I agree that  is technically a revert I'm not 100% convinced that there was an intention to revert the actions of others. While there could be an argument made that the reverts of the video were covered by the 3RR copyright exemption I'm not convinced that the action taken by Solavirum was done so with the intention of being covered by it. Additionally, having also seen some incivility and battleground conduct above (e.g. you seem to fail to understand what WP:COPYEDITING means) and the user's history of edit warring I've decided to block them editing the article for 3 days which is a little longer than normal for a block in this situation primarily because of their previous block. I'll leave this as a warning on their talk page but there's some thin ice particularly around edit warring and continuing it will likely lead to a discretionary sanction.

This user mostly without discussion reverts other users' edits to his advantage. Look at the user's contribution page. He has already done 14 reverts within 48 hours in 4 articles, connected to the Nagorno-Karabakh ongoing conflict.
 * Hello. I'll address all the edits one by one:
 * 1) User tries to remove an already established paragraph about a video because he thinks it's not WP:RS, yet he provides no reason why he thinks it's WP:RS other than apparent WP:IJDLI. You're supposed to start a discussion on the talk page before removing established content for a reason only you have brought up so far.
 * 2) User tries to add a new paragraph about a very serious claim with only 2 sources, one of them being a government claim from the separatist regime (accuser) and the other is a source directly quoting the separatist regime's government without any making confirmation of itself. An accusation as serious as beheading a soldier needs a reliable source that isn't from a separatist government, whose only purpose is to show the accused side in a bad light.
 * 3) Somewhat confused as to part of that revert you thought is an "edit war" or "wrong". I've explained it in my edit summary. "Accused" already means according to the accuser and has not yet been confirmed by anybody else. The user was trying to repeat the point in an article which only needs shortening, not expanding.
 * 4) User is trying to change a direct quote from a source that accuses one side of something. You can't change a quote.
 * 5) Again, very confused as what part of this edit you thought is an "edit war" or "wrong". I could even report you for that edit. You've removed a whole paragraph because one word in the paragraph was not the same as in the source. I restored the paragraph and in my next edit, changed the word (that you deleted the whole paragraph for) per source.
 * Comment: Are you sure these edits are me reverting things to my advantage, or me reverting things to a way that you WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT? I've provided reason in all of the edit summaries about why they were reverted and took time to explain them further here. And I'm also confused as to how any of the provided edits of my are an edit war when none of the edits I made led to one or were reverted back by another user. (if someone did revert my edit, I would take it to the talk page and discuss it to reach consensus and wouldn't start an edit war, like I haven't so far). — CuriousGolden (talk·contrib)  07:29, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * User:CuriousGolden, you seem to be admitting that the five edits listed in the report really *are* reverts. Is that correct? Your argument is that the reverts are beneficial, but they still are reverts. Even #5 is marked 'Undid' in the history. EdJohnston (talk) 15:39, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * They are 5 different reverts in completely different times about completely different subjects between different users, in none of which 3RR was broken. — <b style="color:#D4AF37">Curious</b><b style="color:#D4AF37">Golden</b> (talk·contrib) </b> 16:51, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Check the wording of the policy in WP:EW:
 * The five edits at the head of this report are all by you, they are all reverts, and they all happened on 28 October. That clearly violates WP:3RR. You might be able to avoid a block if you will agree to stay away from this article and its talk page for a period of two weeks. EdJohnston (talk) 17:24, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Looking at the the history of the article it is quite visible that is in one of the leading editors per number of its reverts. I can attest that by far not all his / her reverts are discussed in talk / user page as claimed, but rather "last word" statements are made in the reversion comment instead. Regards Armatura (talk) 17:26, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Result: To avoid a block, User:CuriousGolden has agreed to stay away from the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh conflict article and its talk page for two weeks. I hope you will also refrain from mentioning Nagorno-Karabakh in other places during that time. You were previously alerted to the WP:ARBAA2 sanctions back in April. I hope that all the Nagorno-Karabakh editors will keep those sanctions in mind. EdJohnston (talk) 17:50, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I hope this includes articles related to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict as well, where many reverts were done by the user, such as, 2020 Ganja ballistic missile attacks, 2020 bombardment of Stepanakert, Timeline of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and others. I would appreciate seeing admins in the article 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and other articles connected to this ongoing conflict, especially on the Talk pages. Sincerely, Գարիկ Ավագյան (talk) 19:50, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for bringing this to the attention of this board and many thanks  for the justice promptly served. I can see, however, that now this user is busy editing the article on Barda ballistic missile attacks - a direct part of the same ongoing NK conflict, with his last edit in that page at 19:26, 29 October 2020‎. Is this allowed? Regards, Armatura (talk) 02:47, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I notice that User:CuriousGolden removed a valid move discussion from Talk:Barda ballistic missile attacks. I've asked them to self-revert. EdJohnston (talk) 03:40, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Hey, I have reverted my move request. And if I remember I agreed to not edit 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh conflict for 2 weeks specifically. Nothing about not editing any pages relating to Karabakh. Respectfully, — <b style="color:#D4AF37">Curious</b><b style="color:#D4AF37">Golden</b> (talk·contrib) </b> 06:49, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Somewhat having a hard time understanding your active participation in this report and trying to keep me out of the said articles, but here's how the conversation between me and him went:
 * EdJohnston: You might be able to avoid a block if you will agree to stay away from this article and its talk page for a period of two weeks.
 * Me: I'll choose avoiding the article for two weeks. Thanks.
 * It's clear what I agreed to and I would be happier if I cleared any confusion there might be in our conversation (me and EdJohnston) between ourselves rather than other users trying to explain what another user meant. — <b style="color:#D4AF37">Curious</b><b style="color:#D4AF37">Golden</b> (talk·contrib) </b> 14:34, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

It's probably easiest to just look at each article's history, but this ip has been deleting or changing large swaths of the Genocide of Indigenous Peoples' article for the last week, from Spanish colonization of the Americas, to headings about Pequot massacre, to Genocide in Bangladesh. I have not debated anyone on Genocide in Bangladesh; however, I have tried to talk the user into discussing sweeping changes on the sections regarding the Americas and the page as a whole. Multiple editors have tried to revert sweeping edits, but ip reverts them. As you'll see on the talk page, discussion is met with combative and demeaning behavior. I and another user have tried to discuss with them on their talk page, but are met with user responding in kind on my talk page that, "the page is a mess and it should be clear what [they're] doing." I have come close to edit warring with the user, but in the interest of not doing so and stopping the user from continuing to make edits like the ones above on pages related to genocide and colonization, I bring the issue here, as user is now trying to make similar edits on the page Spanish colonization of the Americas, which are reflected in a separate set of diffs after examples from the first page. Hobomok (talk) 20:57, 29 October 2020 (UTC)'''


 * In my view the situation is diametrically opposed to what Hobomok portrays. He has a very strong stance on a specific issue related to American history and openly refuses to accept any source which runs contrary to his opinion. He has been warned by other editors of his WP:OWN attitude  and is now tracking my edits to other articles where he also wants to impose his view regarding a very narrow issue and is already encountering opposition  - It seems he wants it to be clear the Spanish presence in the American continent was based on genocide and anything questioning this manichean view must be eliminated or censored. He has rejected sourced statements by world renown historian Henry Kamen which he wants eliminated from the article, pushing his own view on the basis of very obscure non-specialized sources from second or third rate institutions in the United States. He has expressed his openly uncompromising (and sadly misinformed) POV here  and here . Note that his argument for censoring Kamen is basically that its a "tired narrative"(sic) which he doesn't agree with. All of this while sabotaging my attempts to recover a section in Genocide of indigenous peoples article which had been vandalized by substituting the 1971 Bangladesh genocide for the Chittagong hill track conflict which thankfully has been restored with the collaboration of other editors.95.122.136.229 (talk) 23:39, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I was very clear that I did not wade into, nor do I care, about edits to the Bangladesh Genocide section of the page. The other editor that ip claims defended them did so believing that I was wading into the Bangladesh debate, and corrected themselves when I explained what was happening on the talk page here. R/t other editors warning ip, another editor attempted to remove their ad hominem attacks here, as that editor saw them as "toxic behaviour" that "is harming the whole community." Finally, I can assure you that I am not "tracking" ip's edits, as you will see that, first off all, ip has been reverted again here by another separate user, and further, a separate user first reverted ip on the Genocide of Indigenous Peoples' page here and here and the Spanish Colonization of the Americas page here (these are both reflected in the original diffs, as ip was attempting to edit war with this user prior to me). Multiple users have rebuffed this user's sweeping edits on both pages. I can assure you just because I watch two pages does not mean I am tracking a specific user's edits.Hobomok (talk) 23:59, 29 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Result: IP blocked 48 hours and both articles semiprotected one month. The IP has been reverted by several different editors, many of them saying that the IP's changes are unsourced. Please wait for agreement on Talk. The issue of what counts as a genocide is obviously important, but it's unlikely to be settled by edit warring. The IP's scornful comments in many of their edit summaries are unlikely to win over other editors. User:C.J. Griffin has suggested this IP might be the same person as User:Filologo2 who was a sock of Sockpuppet investigations/Azerti83/Archive. Per that report, Filologo2 was known for their "relentless POV-pushing on Spanish history". The Azerti83 case mentions IPs who were based in Madrid, just like the IP editor reported here.

This is not a 3RR case, but a tendentious repetition of an identical unsourced edit that has been almost the sole focus of the user since the first of these edits on 20 October. I opened a discussion on their user talk page, but this doesn't seem to have affected the pattern. There are past notices regarding sourcing and edit warring on their talk page, so this does not appear to be a new issue. CMD (talk) 07:59, 31 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Four UN resolutions on the occupation of Azerbaijani lands by Armenia were mentioned in the "de jure". This is the biggest reference.  Someone have repeatedly stated that it is recognized by three non-UN member states.  This is not important, because they are separatist organizations like Arsakh. Two separatist organizations belong to Georgia and one to Moldova.  And someone mentioned the country to which the status of those separatist organizations belongs.  But when it comes to Arsakh's article, the opposite is true. Georgia's two separatist organizations are recognized independently by four states.  However, no country recognizes the separatist organization called the "Arsakh Republic" and considers it the territory of Azerbaijan. I'm sorry, this is a double standard.

The status of this unrecognized state is not true. If it is not recognized, the territory of the state must be written. Now I have already added references. These references are documents of 4 UN resolutions. Everything is proven. Thank you. User:Sword313 (talk) 20:27, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

User ForeverYoung belives the series episode 3 named "File #3" was not aired on TV on the 27th October 2020 within the U.S; though the series third episode did air on the 27th; after it had been postponed the previous week. As a result of it being postponed the episode was made available on Hulu and Fox's online streaming services on the 14th.

There are various sources online, and the fact that viewers watched the third episode on TV on the 27th of October. Multiple users have attempted to correct this mistake, of Forever Young believing that it has not been aired yet, and will on the 10th of November. Though user ForeverYoung has undone changes by any user attempting to resolve this multiple times.

I have tried to inform them of so yet he fails to acknowledge — Preceding unsigned comment added by theOnlyWayUpIsDown (talk • contribs)


 * The reliable sources on the article stated that it did not aired on FOX due to the World Series game. The World Series game was airing on FOX on October 27, 2020 during that time of the episode was supposed to air originally, but the episode was postponed again because of the game. In addition, 3 out of 4 of diffs of reverts that the reporter provided above are links from the Talk discussion of the article (just edits of my own comments) which aren't reverts of the article itself. The reporter also failed to participate in the Talk discussion as well as you can see here Talk:Next (2020 TV series). They have continued to add WP:OR. When they restore the same WP:OR for the third time, it was reverted by another editor . — Young Forever <sup style="color: #2D68C4F">(talk)   19:30, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Absolutely agree. It should have never got to this point. My edit was purely innocent, if not entirely productive - but certainly not disruptive. Why it was hotly contested, I have no idea. I learned a thing about double spacing in the process though. Leitmotiv (talk) 20:19, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
 * This isn't really the right venue. Double spacing is allowed on Wikipedia.  Whitespace-only edits are pointless, gum up watchlist talk pages, and generally aren't improving Wikipedia, despite the general good intent of people making them, so they are generally discouraged and sometimes outright reverted when it's not clear what the benefit is.  Leitmotiv is the one who is starting an edit war over imposing his preferred spacing style.  I wouldn't care if Leitmotiv was also making substantive edits, it's his right to use whatever spacing style he desires.  However, that was not the case here; this was a whitespace only edit.  If ceded in this particular venue, then this is essentially a license to automatically go through Wikipedia and remove double spaces from all articles, even articles maintained by editors who are happily and harmlessly using double spaces and prefer them - a change that would make editors unhappy and have no effect whatsoever on readers.  It's essentially WP:RETAIN, except rather than American / British varieties, it's single-spacing / double-spacing.  It doesn't matter, so defer to the editors who've done the work most recently.
 * If there was a local consensus that it's better to use single spacing on an article, then that's fine. I'd have ceded to that out of respect for the editors who prefer it (although I wonder if Leitmotiv would have if there was an article that other editors preferred double spaces on), and already do so many places on Wikipedia.  It's impossible to say now since various editors have shown up to profess their love of single-spaces.  That said, Leitmotiv, this kind of edit serves only to make other good-faith editors angry, and doesn't help Wikipedia.  It's slightly bizarre: we both agree that this doesn't affect readers.  And we both agree that Leitmotiv was the one who made the initial bold edit removing double spacing.  So why am I the subject of abuse for politely explaining to you that there is no standard on Wikipedia, and I "live in a weird upside down world", and I'm the one edit warring?  SnowFire (talk) 21:32, 3 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Ya'll... you have been reported here not because you are arguing over one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen... but because both of you broke the do not revert an article 3 times in 24 hours over the same change rule. It has nothing to do with consensus or how many spaces there should or shouldn't be- it has to do with both of you acting like mature adults and discussing it respectfully on the talk page instead of reverting and re-reverting each other over and over and over. Please, one (or both) of you realize how silly this is and quit arguing! Nightenbelle (talk) 21:42, 3 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Yes, I did bring it up on the talk page. I'm happy to discuss it respectfully but think that the Dispute Resolution page Leitmotiv brought this too originally was the better spot to undergo said discussion.


 * To the extent that this is the edit war talk page, I want Leitmotiv to understand that, even if he disagrees with it, Wikipedia policy does not in fact currently endorse edits that solely change whitespace or spacing style, though - they cause far more heat than light. And if such edits are done, and are contested, to just give up - to believe other editors if they say they disagree and not start an edit war over it.  (This issue is beyond just single spacing vs. double spacing - there are people who go around trying to standardize template spacing from using newlines, to not using newlines, to having all the values line up with manual spacing, to not having all the values line up, etc., and this is also discouraged if they're not also making substantive edits.)  SnowFire (talk) 22:19, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
 * While I acknowledge that Wikipedia's policy is unclear about double spacing, it does not explicitly state that double spacing is okay either. As you and I both recognize, Wikipedia renders it all single spacing anyway, which would appear to be the de facto Manual of Style. I understand that it's not a big deal, and I've admitted that from the very start of this edit war conversation at this page. However, it's not such a big deal, that it also requires ostensive reverts on your end that literally add nothing to the article. I would have rather preferred you come to my talk page to discuss the finer merits of double spacing. You would have had more receptive ears than getting involved in an edit war that literally accomplishes nothing. My edits were innocent, yours appear to be out of personal preference per your talk page arguments, and Wikipedia is not the kind of place for that type of biased editing. My edits, while perhaps not useful, were an innocent attempt to remove unused space on wikipedia. Your edits were contrarian and strictly edit warring, because you knew in advance they don't add anything to the article, but readded them in spite of this. Leitmotiv (talk) 05:50, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * This does not make sense. Why are your edits "innocent" and mine aren't?  Either they're both innocent, or neither are.  You, Leitmotiv, know that your edits "don't add anything to the article, yet you reverted in spite of this."  You see that this is exactly the same thing, correct?  SnowFire (talk) 13:36, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Because I was unaware of the supposed "controversy", but you were. You also knew that your edits would add nothing to the article, but reverted anyway. Leitmotiv (talk) 19:00, 4 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Result: SnowFire and Leitmotiv are both warned. Either one may be blocked if they revert again at Limited Edition (Magic: The Gathering) unless they have first obtained a consensus for their change on the article talk page. EdJohnston (talk) 00:53, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

User IP is engaged in repeated edit warring. The user has been warned but they continue to do it. The user deletion of sourced materials is persistently engaged in disruptive editing. Cutelaba (talk) 01:26, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Please let it be known that the IP, the reporter (Cutelaba), and have all been involved in an edit war to the Mawlid page. They have all been reverting each other’s edits (both Jorgensen and Cutelaba are at three reverts in 24h), and I have read thru the history and it is very disruptive.

I believe Jorgensen and Cutelaba are sock puppets of same ideological-driven editor. I have requested help on sock puppet talk page to open an investigation into them. Their edits regarding Mawlid clearly contradict what even the provided quotes from citations clearly state. They are simply rewording wiki content to suit their prejudices rather than accurately stating what is mentioned by the sources. 1.144.107.172 (talk) 03:20, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * – 3 days. It is unlikely that people can find a source that says, Mawlid was invented by Group X and was definitely not invented by Group Y. On the talk page we have one person saying this is a dubious Shi'ite custom and someone else saying that the Shi'ites aren't being properly credited for originating the festival. Wikipedia may not have to answer the question of who invented Mawlid. EdJohnston (talk) 04:01, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

The IP is edit warring to include lineal titles in the record table, which is against MOS:BOXING/WEIGHT and NPOV (lineal titles are a matter of opinion).

Comments: Per WP:3RR, policy states, "An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page—whether involving the same or different material—within a 24-hour period. An edit or a series of consecutive edits that undoes other editors' actions—whether in whole or in part—counts as a revert." User has engaged in reverting, rather than discussing first, multiple times, on same article. Right cite (talk) 00:53, 5 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that. How about we remove all the edits and start from scratch? Otherwise we're equally in violation of this policy. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 01:14, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I've made no reverts after being notified, other than to undue my last edits in good faith. As I identify on my talk page, I am usually open to holding myself to one revert if you think it will help a situation. Just let me know. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 01:21, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment: I have made zero reverts or undoing of any edit whatsoever to the page in question. User seems to communicate mainly by the edit summary Undid revision... over and over again, many many times past 3RR. User is aware of site policy, having been educated about it by an admin to his block log in 2019. Right cite (talk) 01:24, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Can you comment on my good faith attempt to settle this. I've no reverts after being notified, and my standard 1RR offer stands. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 01:36, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * User has not undone their multitude of edits that used edit summary Undid revision... to the page. User has not shown they have learned more about site policy regarding edit warring and disruption from their block back in 2019. Right cite (talk) 01:41, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * So you want me to revert all my edits, and leave yours? Is this correct? --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 01:44, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * This is about the user not displaying they have demonstrated they will permanently cease the edit warring and undoing of edits multiple times on a page, through the Undid revision tactic, as they were blocked for in 2019. Right cite (talk) 01:46, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * So is that a yes or a no? You brought it up, so I assumed you were offering a solution. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 01:49, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately user shows no compunction not to edit war. They appear to do so without concern for site policy, repeatedly, and do not stop at one, two, or three times, or more. It did not stop after the block in 2019. It is likely to continue to be an ongoing pattern of disruption to the encyclopedia. Right cite (talk) 01:51, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Given that I started discussing the matter with you by thanking you for your work 20:21, 4 November 2020, you responded there without indicating there was a problem 21:52, 4 November 2020, though you had in the meantime started the talk page discussion 21:38, 4 November 2020; I don't see how this furthers our efforts to improve the article. That is our goal here, correct? You've disputed a single one of my edits. Are you disputing others? --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 02:15, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * User has commented five (5) times so far in this section. At no point have they demonstrated they have learned about site policy regarding causing edit warring and disruption to the encyclopedia or demonstrated a desire they change their behavior pattern, since their block in 2019. It is likely to continue to occur repeatedly. Right cite (talk) 02:18, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * So nothing else is in dispute? There was no indication (WP:BRD) that we weren't simply working through an article that needed cleanup. My offers to resolve the situation are being ignored, so I'll leave it to others. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 02:27, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, the user has ignored above regarding learning anything from their block in 2019 and their two-week ban off the article mainspace of the exact same article from 2019. It is therefore likely their pattern of disruption will continue. Right cite (talk) 02:33, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

I don't understand this discussion at all. You can't simply report someone, grab discussion items from over a year ago, and then go WP:IDONTHEARYOU when the user is offering a resolution. I want to assume good faith on this but you're really bludgeoning here. – The Grid  ( talk )  04:00, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I would very much like to assume good faith as well. I would like to hope that the disruption will stop after this report. Unfortunately I just don't see that from the tone of the user's comments and responses and repeated pattern of behavior., I'm open to whatever you feel might be a productive way forward here, if it will encourage the user to stop the disruption and engage in mutual collaboration with the community. Right cite (talk) 04:06, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * A productive way forward would be seeking a resolution. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I don't see any attempt of discussion on the associated talk page? No attempt of you opening a chat, mentioning WP:BRD, and/or an acknowledgment on the user's talk page that they were reported here which is mandatory. I don't see a tone from the user but this is where you shouldn't make matters personal on edits you make to this site. Communication is always key. – The Grid  ( talk )  17:20, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree with you. There have been attempts at communication. The user reverts, multiple times per day, across multiple pages per day, many many times. It is disheartening. Right cite (talk) 17:23, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Now I see a discussion has been made on the talk page since this report? You should have done that first before making this report. – The Grid  ( talk )  17:32, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * To be fair, i think right cite has been stressed out over Hipal following him to multiple articles that he edits such as on the talk pages of Alexis Texas, Casey Calvert, Paul Seckel and List of think tanks in the United States. It's hard to have a discussion with Hipal, he just repeatedly accuses right cite and his work as being non-neutral and reverts it or edit wars over it without discussing it. I think some deeper examination of the behaviour here is needed, it's bleeding out in multiple articles and if Hipal is following right cite around to every article he edits - indicative of a negative environment brewing. GuzzyG (talk) 21:21, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Nothing "fair" about it. I hope your assumptions about Right cite's behavioral problems are being caused by stress. That would imply that it will end. Meanwhile, you should watch out for WP:BOOMERANG. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 22:45, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * To be clear, i have not noticed any behavioral issues in right cite and to imply that was to put words in my mouth. Quite the opposite, he's been super cooperative and has been trying to get you to cooperate as shown on the Alexis Texas talk page. You seem to ignore cooperation and rather threaten Arbitration Enforcement, assume bad faith in people, repeatedly tag the article with the contentious tags and cry harassment (despite you following right cite to most articles he edits and comment on people's talks). GuzzyG (talk) 01:07, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Please stop misusing this noticeboard to attack me. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 01:40, 6 November 2020 (UTC)--Hipal/Ronz (talk) 01:40, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * To be fair, none of the previous behavior was mentioned in this report. If anything, drop it and resolve the issue at hand here or take this discussion somewhere else. – The Grid  ( talk )  02:58, 6 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment: Per mutual discussion, I'm withdrawing this report and disengaging from the user. Thank you all and have a great weekend, Right cite (talk) 19:32, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Much appreciated. Glad we were able to work something out.--Hipal/Ronz (talk) 23:38, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:

Comments: A very simple case. As you can see, Alexikoua has made four reverts in fairly quick succession to remove the RS Osswald 2011 from the page. A bonus though: he told Ahmet Q to take "lessons" to learn French "try some French lessons instead", his mother language according to his userpage .--Calthinus (talk) 21:37, 4 November 2020 (UTC)


 * I have to disagree on the argument that those reverts were done in full succession. Per AGF there was a self revert [] inside those 24h. Moreover this the 1st rv [] was a partial one.


 * On the other hand an editwar has two sides and Calthinus needs to explain why he does not report:

1.User_talk:Ktrimi991 who performed a clear 4 rvs in 12h [][][][] (without slightest talkpage participation before his last revert). 2.user:Maleschreiber with 4 rvs (2 full and 2 partial rvs) in less than 10h [][][][].


 * So I really can't under understand Calthinus selective report against me. The article has been a target by various editors. Some of them never participated in the correspondent talkpage and page protection was requested.Alexikoua (talk) 22:06, 4 November 2020 (UTC)


 * (1) Except your self-revert was of different material []. While you performed reverts to remove Osswald, your "self-revert" reinstated Isufi on an entirely different topic.
 * (2) As for Maleschreiber, this one and this one  are in fact back to back (i.e. no intervening edits), so not applicable.
 * (3) But even if he had violated 4RR, that would have no bearing on the fact that you did. It's that simple. --Calthinus (talk) 22:17, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * From the above evidence it is clear that your report is selectively targeted against me. Especially in the case of User_talk:Ktrimi991 who performed 4 clear rvs in less than 12h in the same article (per diffs above).Alexikoua (talk) 22:32, 4 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Alexikoua, it is sad to see that you again have problems with edit warring. It is sad also that you make false accusations against me. Two of my rv were successive, so when 3RR is applied, they count as one. As I said a few hours ago somewhere else, I have made 3 rv. The rules on your reverts are clear: Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. In addition to all of that, why have you again made personal attacks on the talk page of the article? Ktrimi991 (talk) 22:27, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Well I disagree that it is mine editwarring. In fact it takes 2 for edit-warring and the other part (Ktrimi991) performed 4 clear (full) reverts in less than 12h and without participating in talkpage before the last revert.Alexikoua (talk) 22:34, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I haven't done 4 reverts - 3 of those difs are consecutive edits (of which only 1 is a revert), which Alexikoua as any admin and editor can observe didn't link in the correct order. It highlights that in addition to edit-warring Alexikoua is making extreme false claims against other editors in a report which was filed about his verifiably 4RR activity. It shows that the editor instead of explaining his editing history resorts to false accusations. It's also part of the bigger problem with Alexikoua's editing history: they put forward continuous false claims whether they involve other editors' activity or the edits they put forward. There are countless examples in the last months where they used bibliography in a way that had no relation to what the citation put forward. Just yesterday, I found out that on Zagori he had placed content that wasn't put forward  by the source he used. At first the editor provided a wrong page, then when I verified that it was wrong, he tried to provide a cropped quote and then accused me that I didn't understand the text Talk:Zagori and he kept with the same narrative until another editor stepped in. Recently he was again warned for reaching 3RR, so the editor knows how 3RR works and knowingly followed the reported editing history. His editing also includes POV-pushing for WP:FRINGE theories about the age of the presence of the Greek language on the Balkan peninsula and the situation deteriorated to the point that other editors complained that he was messing up their comments on the talkpage Talk:Proto-Greek_language and because he never accepted to WP:DROP other editors had to ask from everyone involved to not reply to Alexikoua anymore. To recap, we have a 4RR breach, consistent edit-warring/3R warnings and WP:BATTLEGROUND behaviour. Ideally, no situation should reach the point where a report is necessary but Alexikoua's activity has required admin oversight for quite some time now. This report is a step towards the right direction. --Maleschreiber (talk) 22:38, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * While I don't necessarily disagree, I'd like us all to stay focused here and not give the poor admins a mountain to read. The matter at hand here is 4RR. He's clearly guilty of that. Let us all allow the admin(s) to inspect the diffs and come to a conclusion. --Calthinus (talk) 22:43, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Since I've been accused that this is "mine" edit war, it might be helpful to provide the 4rvs by User:Ktrimi991:


 * [] (restoring again this text [])
 * [] (restoring again this text [])
 * [] (identical with the previous rv)
 * [] (restoring altogether removed parts as in 1st&2nd rv)
 * All of them are full reverts (restoring previously removed versions) and done in 12h. It is also evident that Ktrimi's first participation in the correspondent talkpage was done "after" the 4rth revert []. Admin intervention has been requested here [].Alexikoua (talk) 22:50, 4 November 2020 (UTC)


 * To the editors above: do not respond to everything Alexikoua says here. He seems to be willing to redirect attention by accusing me of things everyone can easily verify I have not done (a 3RR breach). Ktrimi991 (talk) 22:55, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * No more responses, admins don't need TL;DR - but I do want it to be noted that Alexikoua first accused me of a 4RR and when I very easily showed that I wasn't even close to doing such a thing, he refactored his accusations towards Ktrimi991. It perfectly sums up how the editor operates.--Maleschreiber (talk) 00:03, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

(ec) I haven't done a 3RR breach. But you are edit warring. And we know you have a history of that. What's going on here is yet another instance of a well-organized tag team of Albanian editors trying to ram through by force material that is controversial. The way this works is to find any source, no matter how obscure, to claim "X was Albanian", and then use tag-teaming to ram it through by force. In the case of Parga, a town in Greece, they are using an obscure French language Ph.D. dissertation to claim that In the late medieval period, Parga was the southernmost area of Albania. despite the fact that Albania did not exist before the 20th century (note the wikilink to the modern 20th century state). This is the typical "flag-planting" POV-pushing, to prove to the world that "X belonged to us once!". I opened a discussion on the talkpage and multiple users have objected on the grounds that the material is not really relevant, but the team is edit-warring with ferocious intensity to ram the material through by brute-force (I'm counting 8 reverts within a 24 hour period by team members ). This has been happening on a regular basis in Balkan articles, e.g. here. Reverts are performed in round-robin fashion to game 3RR. Khirurg (talk) 00:08, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

In addition, whenever one of these people is accused of edit-warring, his compatriots flood the report and turn it into a tl;dr shitshow, attacking the reporting party, as happened here. Now the instigator of this dispute is demanding "no more responses" to avoid tl;dr. It perfectly sums up how this team of editors operates. Khirurg (talk) 00:12, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Khirurg was grouping Croat-Bosniak-Albanian editors who disagreed with him a few months ago: Grouping editors together and claiming that they have a "history of hostility" is typical WP:BATTLEGROUND logic. There's an attempt here to turn a report about someone's activity (admins will judge it) into a TL;DR battleground so that it doesn't ever get checked by any admin. Ahmet Q. (talk) 01:20, 5 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Because everybody knows that Balkan editors are POV-free, and would never vote along ethnic lines. Oh no, not in the Balkans. But thanks for bringing out more attention to your side's tag teaming behavior. I had forgotten about that episode. Khirurg (talk) 02:07, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * – 1 week by User:Johnuniq. EdJohnston (talk) 04:11, 5 November 2020 (UTC) Undid my close per a request. See bottom of report. EdJohnston (talk) 19:30, 5 November 2020 (UTC)


 * This seems to be more of a dispute rather then edit-warring, which should have been taken to dispute resolution, civilly. Most reports of this sort get little attention by admins. Another important thing, several editors who are claiming that there is edit-warring done by one side, are doing exactly the same, only by gaming the system and joining with undo, one editor followed by another. Wikipedia editors are not dumb, and we can see the pattern. I am inviting admins to take a closer look at that sort of behaviour. I think that advice on gaming the system can be found here. Furthermore, it is obvious that there was a lot of ignoring and stonewalling the Greek position and arguments in the dispute, as seen on the TP. Good God, attempting to show Parga as "southern area of Albania" is a major WP:NATIONALIST, WP:FRINGE and not per WP:NPOV. Ty,  Sadkσ   (talk is cheap)  14:18, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I think that claims about "dehumanization" deserve admin oversight. Sadko has already been warned on AE for using reports and AE in particular Arbitration_enforcement_log, so maybe it's time to enforce the warning.--Maleschreiber (talk) 20:36, 5 November 2020 (UTC)


 * I second what  Sadkσ  said. I have already and for a long while warned about the WP:NATIONALIST flag-planting attempts by these editors who tag-teamed to brute-force content into the articles without WP:CONSENSUS.. My warnings can be found both on Parga's Talk Page: and on the Template: Cham Albanians Talk Page: . Just use CTRL+F and locate my name. In the comments signed with my name, you can find details of the problem with these editors's nationalist POV-driven edits. --- ❖ SilentResident ❖ (talk &#9993; &#124; contribs &#9998;) 17:14, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Analogous accusations/aspersions can and have been made going the other way regarding "flag-planting". That is orthogonal and if it is that much of a problem and you care enough, take it to ANI or AE. Can we have decorum, for once, please. The point of this board, ANI/3RR, is violations of 3RR, the basic rule for defusing edit wars, not the rampant aspersions and personal attacks and fringe theories being pushed in the topic area. I recall I was once told by that accusations of such things do not change a violation of 3RR, back when I was a 'novice' in the topic area. It was a case for . At the time, I very strongly protested what I felt was evidence of tagteaming against a highly productive editor, who by the way has now largely disappeared from the topic area probably due to all the unpleasantness he was subjected to -- though thankfully he is now doing great work making maps for the history of Welsh and German in the Alps -- that doesnt change that the topic area lost one of its most productive editors. I was told that wouldn't matter, and I learned that such accusations should not be voiced. So now I am perturbed. I ask you Ed, as it was none other than you that handed Resnjari his block-- why is this different?--Calthinus (talk) 18:05, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * here is the case I am talking about . Please explain what is different. Thanks, --Calthinus (talk) 18:23, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, neither side of this dispute has been showing us a model of good conduct and willingness to compromise. So far as this board is concerned, please confine yourself to getting consensus on the Parga article. As for User:Resnjari, I hope he feels encouraged for his good work by your statement here. For all of the participants, reading sources and working on the content is a better approach than trying to work the enforcement system against the other side. I'm sure that an WP:RFC can be opened if necessary. I'm not the admin who decided on article protection so don't intend to parse the wall of text above to see who reverted more. EdJohnston (talk) 18:57, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * So, as I understand it, if "neither side" is "a model of willingness to compromise" both are insulated from the possibility of the block, especially if they turn the report on this board into an unreadable wall of text? I would not say either side was exactly a paragon of compromise in this dispute either, yet it was you who imposed the block on only one user, with the exact same users here defending Alexikoua being on the other "side" of the dispute. I understand if you are busy, and to be honest, many of us are probably stressed by the ongoing election situation. All one needs to do is look at the diffs to see what is a revert, but I don't demand you do it -- all I ask is that, if you are not willing, allow another mod to examine it. We cannot have endless reverts with impunity in this fragile topic area, nor can we have the appearance of partiality (I make no assertions about partiality whatsoever, but I am warning you about the dangerous effects of the appearance of it). What I ask is that you reopen the thread, and ask another mod to inspect it if you are not willing to inspect the diffs yourself. Thank you for listening to my concerns. Cheers, --Calthinus (talk) 19:14, 5 November 2020 (UTC)


 * I have undone my close of this report, per the request of User:Calthinus. Any other admin is welcome to take on this report and make their own decision. The Pargas page that was the one in dispute remains fully protected (as before) through an independent decision by User:Johnuniq. EdJohnston (talk) 19:30, 5 November 2020 (UTC)


 * the full protection request occurred before Calthinus filed the 3RR report. I don't necessarily disagree with the full protection of the article, but it's an independent event which wasn't linked to this report. Admin oversight should be applied here. An editor did breach 3RR and has been causing much trouble across the topic area because they are putting forward content which doesn't appear in the bibliography they are using. Just today, Alexikoua is again involved in an edit-war which began because another editor found that Alexikoua has been misusing bibliography again Talk:Korçë --Maleschreiber (talk) 20:36, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * If anyone is guilty of source misuse, it is you, as explained here This is source misuse. So it's a bit rich of you to go around constantly accusing others of what you yourself are guilty of. Khirurg (talk) 21:26, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * That is a reference to a disputed interpretation to which of course the other editor is entitled, but it's not about the content - and it's not a good defense if for every reference to Alexikoua's activity all you have to add is WP:WHATABOUT. What is being discussed about Alexikoua's activity is actual material that doesn't appear at all in the sources, which Alexikoua tries to add back with excuses like it's in the source, you can use google (October 20) and then I have to ask from admins to apply oversight . The 4RR report needs to continue so that the basic function of wikipedia gets restored. An editor breached 4RR and is continuing to edit-war and abuse bibliography on every article they get involved in.--Maleschreiber (talk) 21:41, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Pointing out that you are yourself guilty of what you are accusing others of is not WP:WHATABOUT. It's calling out bs. Khirurg (talk) 21:45, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Using a cropped quote to relativize between two different interpretations of the same content and edits which can't be verified at all in bibliography is not a good defense.--Maleschreiber (talk) 22:23, 5 November 2020 (UTC)


 * The page is fully protected, and no reverts have taken place in almost 24 hours (well over 24 hours in Alexikoua's case). What we have here is clearly one side of the dispute demanding blood. Why? Because three years ago, another editor, unrelated to the dispute, was blocked by the admin who originally closed the report? This isn't about preventing damage to the encyclopedia (which is what blocks are for). It's "gotcha" politics and an attempt to leverage wikipedia procedures to "score" against the other side. The is clearly WP:BATTLE behavior, and in itself sanctionable. The OP is heavily partial in this topic area, having been involved in innumerable disputes against Alexikoua, and appears (to me at least) to be motivated by a desire for revenge. Khirurg (talk) 21:44, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Update: It has just come to my attention that the OP is engaging in WP:ADMINSHOP . This is deep into WP:BATTLE at this point. Khirurg (talk) 22:06, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict)Reverts haven't taken place because the page is fully protected and because there's a report. Now, arguing that Calthinus (who supports something very different altogether to what everyone else has supported) reported Alexikoua because he is "motivated by a desire for revenge" itself is a very heavy WP:ASPERSION. It highlights how bad the situation has become because there is no admin oversight. So, because Alexikoua has breached 4RR and was reported, the editor who reported him is getting a personal attack. --Maleschreiber (talk) 22:23, 5 November 2020 (UTC)


 * If any of this were true, then take me to AE right now. That this is at all motivated by "revenge" rather than a desire to maintain the sanity of the topic area by actually imposing punishments for those who violate our rules as a community is a very disappointing bad faith accusation, as are the statements about keeping "score" and my supposed partiality and "demanding blood". Please, everyone, all I am asking as that the basic rules of editing are enforced or at least investigated, for once. I ask a mod to look at the all diffs presented, and act as our community rules dictate. And yes, I went to Doug's talk page, not to ask him personally to look at it, but for advice as I wasn't sure how to proceed -- as my post there makes abundantly clear . Please desist from attacking me, this time is stressful enough for us all, thank you. --Calthinus (talk) 22:20, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Both of you know (or should know) that blocks are preventive and not punitive. Since the page is protected, such action is unnecessary. Yet here both of you are, basically demanding a block. It's as if you really really want it. And yes, you were adminshopping, anyone can see that from what you wrote. You tried to conceal by couching it in "asking for advice" terms, but it's plainly obvious what's going on. And if you're feeling stressed out, maybe you should sit this out, instead of demanding that others not call out your actions for what they are. Khirurg (talk) 22:35, 5 November 2020 (UTC)


 * And because there is no admin oversight on this report, Alexikoua openly admitted that he'll begin another round of reverting based on yet another false claim he's putting forward about bibliography. Blocks are preventive of both present and near-future edit-warring and establish how wikipedia should function. The editor is edit-warring and making some of the most obvious false claims and will continue to do so if there are no consequences for their activity - just as he continued to do so on Talk:Proto-Greek_language where it took intervention by editors for him to stop. --Maleschreiber (talk) 22:40, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Saying "I will remove falsified material" is not "openly admitting" to "begin another round of reverting". But yes, admin oversight of that article is necessary, given that editors sympathetic to you (to put it mildly) conducted about 8 reverts within a 24 hour window. So don't pretend like this is all out of the blue. You misused sources and then edit-warred to keep falsified or irrelevant material in the article. Khirurg (talk) 22:46, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Alexikoua is civilly discussing on multiple talkpages in contrast to you, with literally every single talkpage post of yours laced with threats and taunts . Khirurg (talk) 22:50, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict) It is openly admitting that they'll begin another round of reverting. Everything that has been reverted is what bibliography puts forward - unlike Alexikoua's extreme false claims and WP:FRINGE editing attempts to show that Greek was spoken 5,000 years ago in the Balkans (on Proto-Greek language). The fact that even now he claims that a quote on the talkpage, puts forward the exact opposite of what every editor can read, is yet another proof that the editor will continue on the same path. Just so the closing admin has some knowledge: Alexikoua is claiming that the quote  doesn't say that Hasan Agha was the leader of the "population of Parga" and that he was never a leader of Parga. That is what everyone has to respond to when dealing with Alexikoua's POV-pushing. Even the most obvious of discussions get messed up because the editor can't accept what bibliography says when it doesn't confirm his narrative. --Maleschreiber (talk) 23:07, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * It's not so clear cut. And you yourself are guilty of the same thing, for instance, when you misused a source to claim that a city in Greece was at one point considered to be "southernmost Albania", based on a source that did not back that claim. You even had the temerity to use a wikilink to modern Albania, which did not exist before the 20th century. You were called out for this in the talkpage 1#Claim_not_backed_by_source by multiple editors, yet even now, days later, you will not concede the point. A single "yes I was wrong, I will be more careful in future" would suffice, but no, it's all misdirection, obfuscation and sophistry. Anyone who reads the discussion at Talk:Parga can see this. Khirurg (talk) 23:15, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * "Civilly" is not telling someone to "take lessons" to learn their native language, one of many examples (["try some French lessons instead"], he says). This thread, this cesspool of dysfunction with more aspersions than oxygen, is the exact illustration of why this report is preventative -- the widespread impunity for the total disregard of rules is what has led to the exact editing environment we all see above. Could someone please close further discussion by involved parties so the diffs on all sides can be investigated? --Calthinus (talk) 22:54, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * (ec) Bull. This is a vindictive report, and you have made it obvious by stating that he should be blocked because another editor was blocked 3 years ago, because otherwise "it's not fair". And you are the last person to talk about civility, what with your borderline racist taunts about the invented concept of hypocrisy (implying that Greek editors are inherently hypocritical or more prone to hypocrisy) or collectively referring to Greek editors are "you guys" (to assigning collective responsibility based on ethnicity). And when I pressed you about it , you went pretended not to hear. You should have been topic banned from anything Greek-related for those diffs alone, but I made the mistake of letting it go. But yeah, there's a civility problem in the topic area, but there's one individual that stands out. Khirurg (talk) 23:26, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I have explained to you a gazillion times that I was referring to the concept of hypocrisy, like the hypotenuse -- obviously as someone who has learned Greek, studied abroad in Greece, studies Greek history I do not effing have anything against Greeks and it is a ridiculous PA you are pulling here. Furthermore, on the COVID page, that argument where I was accused of being "anti-Greek" and even supporting "Ottoman interests" (?!!) for arguing against the inclusion of a statement that Turkey was using refugees and migrants as biological warfare (!!) against Greece (yes everyone do check out | that debate, it is an awful illustration of how things happen here...]), my "you guys" did not single out ethnic Greeks but instead those involved on the same side of hte revert war, and this becomes incredibly obvious when you consider that another ethnic Greek, was on the "other side". But I can't say anything, without being submitted to a barrage of personal attacks. Someone please impose order here -- admins we really, really need you guys. --Calthinus (talk) 23:42, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't care how many times you "explain" it, you fool no one. It's there for everyone to see. And you were directing it at Alexikoua, and clearly implying that he is being hypocritical as a result of being Greek. It does not strain the imagination to think how you would react if Alexikoua or I had made a similar remark about you. And yes, you were collectively referring to Greek editors with "you guys", because you made the remark in reply to me, when in fact it was I who removed what you were objecting to , so I was not "on the other side" of the edit war, but in fact on the same side as you. And could you please stop with the constant shouting in boldface? Khirurg (talk) 23:55, 5 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Alexikoua's misuse of sources and his engaging in edit warring when other editors tried to correct his mistakes can be seen in these articles:, , , , , , . He has been advised several times to improve his contributions and to not add material not backed by sources, but he continues the same behavior justifying himself in endless discussions, without any improvement. – Βατο (talk) 23:21, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * What's really weird is Maleschreber's new round of accusations about a new topic I've filled in the talkpage. Beginning a discussion in a fully civil manner: [] then Maleschreiber all of the sudden gets mad [[[]]] warning about "admin oversight" and immediately threatening if I present something different, using also sarcastic language []. It appears that something is really wrong with this reaction. Obviously someone needs to calm down.Alexikoua (talk) 23:28, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * @Bato: Throwing around links to article page histories proves nothing. You should know that making baseless accusations is sanctionable. And you yourself have been reverting a lot lately, perhaps more than anyone. But it's easy to stay out of trouble and game the system if you're part of an organized WP:TAGTEAM. Khirurg (talk) 23:31, 5 November 2020 (UTC)


 * I recommend this be closed as no action because it is too complex, with too much background, for resolution here. Whether or not a particular editor made an inappropriate number of reverts seems to be a bureaucratic concern that misses the point that there is an extraordinary dispute. If invited, I suppose I could help draft an RfC and monitor activity to encourage/enforce reasonable behavior during subsequent discussions. I have no idea what the conflict is about, nor whether the reported editor is on the "good" side or otherwise. Johnuniq (talk) 06:10, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your consideration. Regarding your offer, RfCs have a bit of a checkered history on our topic area, but I personally would support an agreement to not use the templates for the Chameria and North Epirus on non-historical geographic entities (context: both cultural/ethnic/irredentist regions for Greece and Albania in the other one respectively, more or less), but I personally have no idea how broad support for that idea would be, it may very well be just me. --Calthinus (talk) 06:49, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I have been repeatedly accused about source misusse by specific editors however those accusations remain largely unfounded and the diffs provided do not confirm this. In general I'm extremely carefully in the selection of sources and their use. As such after a recent admin intrevenetion it was clarified that I was correct on the use of secondary sources here User_talk:El_C. No wonder El_C stated that he agrees with my point [] contrary to Maleschreiber's disagreement.Alexikoua (talk) 07:36, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * @Calthinus: About the use of templates I agree with your proposal (no use in modern settlements), like in the Commache template. I've already expressed similar concerns in the correspondent talkpage that its use should be limited to 1-2 settlements.Alexikoua (talk) 07:59, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * To the Administrators, Alexikoua's misuse of sources can be verified here:, , , , ,.
 * Other editors attempts to highlight Alexikoua's misuse of sources:, , , , ,.
 * Alexikoua's refusal to admit his misuse of sources:, , ,.
 * A very long discussion can also be found here . His activity should be evaluated carefully to avoid further problems. All the best. – Βατο (talk) 13:28, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Actually none of the above diffs confirm the above accusations and I'm really astonished that Bato repeats again these hostile comments against me. On the other hand third part users and administrators have expressed their agreement about my knowledge evaluating and using sources (such as: [[User_talk:El_C]). What's also important for this report is that Cplakidas [] & even Calthinus []

agree with my point in talk:Parga that the controversial part should be removed.Alexikoua (talk) 15:44, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Result: No action at this time. Per my earlier comments, the issue is too complex to be resolved at this noticeboard. Another admin might have taken the time to investigate who breached 3RR but no one has been willing to do that at this stage and we have to move on. I am now watching Parga and will post a warning at Talk:Parga about the future. Johnuniq (talk) 00:54, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

I also issued an edit war warning on user's talk page.

I pinged user on the article talk page with a comment in which I explained my actions and my intent to make one more revert, which I then did; user responded on talk page with mild hostility and referred to me as "abusive, harassing, obstructionist."

The guy Asim mz acting totally immature and showing unprofessional behaviour on Wikipedia and out of anger now using childish words. Just look at the history of Islamia University Bahawalpur page, especially the Notable alumni section. On 05:01, 15 October 2020, he replaced someone's name from Notable alumni section with his name and now labelling me as being jealous of him. I think he is perceiving me as someone else of which he himself is jealous of. It's not just me who identified his conflict of interest, indeed his name was removed by other senior Wikipedia editors as well (Viewmont Viking). Putting someone's own name on any page is simply a violation of Wikipedia rules. He also tried putting his name on Bahawalpur page, which was also removed by senior Wikipedia editors/contributors from there (Ohnoitsjamie). To stop me from reporting his conflict of interest, he started writing threatening messages on my Talk page that my ID will be removed, if I keep doing so. I would let Wikipedia editors decide who is doing vandalism and acting immature. A special thanks to Tenryuu 🐲  ( 💬 • 📝 ) for bringing this into my attention. — Risingstarpk (talk) 17:19, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

Alright, let's start with a bit history of the case, the vandal risingstarpk is a constant offender of the Wikipedia policy. He created his ID for his own promotional purposes and for that he started by putting his name in the following page Islamia University Bahawalpur on 03:27, 4 August 2020 and claiming him (Ahsan Saleem) to be one of the youngest PhD in Pharmacy even without a single suitable reference. He mentioned an orchid ID as a reference & not with any an article/news of any credible website to verify his claim. When I got through this, I undo his editing quoting improper referencing. For that enviousness, he removed the name Muhammad Asim Masoom Zubair (Former Campus/Youth Ambassador, Youth Assembly at United Nations) from notable alumni section, edited by me on the same page Islamia University Bahawalpur with a proper reference from credible Pakistani news-site. Since then his childish and unprofessional behaviour is still continued and he is violating Wikipedia's policy on edit warring and constantly removing the name from notable alumni list. To stop him, I didn't threaten, I simply followed the Wikipedia policy of warning him of vandalism on his talk page. For his comment to the page Bahawalpur, I agree with the senior editor (Ohnoitsjamie) that the name didn't qualify for the "notable person" list as there is no Wikipedia page or article exist on it and was removed rightly. But here at the page Islamia University Bahawalpur as part of notable alumni (with a notable achievement), it should stand. I request the editors to stop the vandal from constant re-edits. Also, I request Tenryuu 🐲  ( 💬 • 📝 ) to review this issue and I would be happy with whatever decision he made. Thank you Asim mz (talk) 03:51, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

I have gone through the history of the Islamia University Bahawalpur page, but I could not find any vandalism or personal attack on you made by. The response provided by is purely professional and just reporting of a conflict of interest. As I have gone through the history of the disputed page, I would suggest you to not take anything personally. Clearly, you do not qualify to be listed as notable alumni at the moment. Moreover, you have wrongly tagged risingstarpk for ID deletion. I hope you would not wrongly tag anyone else in the future. Talk pages are just for friendly discussions, not for tagging someone's profile for deletion. I hope you would take my response positively — AlexanderD01 04:52, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

There is an open RfC at Talk:Parler about whether the word "antisemitism" should be included in the lead.

Please also notice they are also casting aspersions about editors' motivations in the edit summaries. GorillaWarfare (talk) 01:31, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

 * If it's good enough for the main page to currently say Joe Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris win the United States presidential election, there's no problem with 21st century making a similar claim. Also the page is a target for Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Yaysmay15 (whose most recent edits slipped under the radar and I've just had to remove), so would suggest semi-protection be applied irrespective of any other measure deemed necessary.

and other information which I write is based a lot of sources including sources' source and if you read to carefully you will see these informations and if you have a different arguement and scientific research you share same topic thus People see the different scientific sources which have different opinion — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.54.255.43 (talk) 18:01, 5 November 2020 (UTC)


 * This has nothing to do with whether you're citing sources. This has everything to do with repeatedly reverting an article or otherwise edit warring. —C.Fred (talk) 18:17, 5 November 2020 (UTC)


 * I think this is a misunderstanding mutually and two side don't have a bad intent My sources are these

My best regards


 * In striking contrast, there was an "extremely close affinity of Jewish and non-Jewish Middle Eastern populations [Palestinians, Syrians, Lebanese, Druze, Saudi Arabians]

and genetically there is very little difference between Turkey and the neighboring countries (Turkey's neighboring countries are Greece, Bulgaria, Georgia, Syria, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Iran, Cyprus)

The results of these scientific studies lead to the startling realization that Turks, Iranians, Kurds, Iraqis, Jordanians, Lebanese are more closely related genetically to Assyrians than they are to other members of their own respective language families in Asia. These seven groups (and Jews) are genetically close

The differences between the populations were not statistically significant, demonstrating once again the close genetic relationship of Middle Eastern populations to each other. In fact, the Palestinians and Syrians were so close to the Jews in genetic characteristics that they "mapped within the central cluster of Jewish populations." As one of the Israeli scientists on the team said, "Eventually people will realize that they are not that different." Peace through Genetics?

Seven different Jewish groups from communities in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East were compared to various non-Jewish populations from those areas. The results showed, first of all, that "Despite their long-term residence in different countries and isolation from one another, most Jewish populations were not significantly different from one another at the genetic level.

The latter point is also made in studies of Jews. Based on earlier studies using classical genetic methods7, Cavalli-Sforza et al. came to the conclusion "that Jews have maintained considerable genetic similarity among themselves and with people from the Middle East, with whom they have common origins."

The PCoA clearly identifies four widely dispersed groupings corresponding to Europe, South Asia, Central Asia, and Africa (figs. ​(figs.1A,1A, ​,1B,1B, and ​and2).2). In these figures, PC1 appears to separate the Africans from the other populations, whereas PC2 divides the Asians from the Europeans and Africans and PC3 splits the Central Asians apart from the South Asians.

there is low apparent diversity in Europe, with the entire continentwide sample only marginally more dispersed than single-population samples from elsewhere in the world. and their correletaions

I behave to respectful to wikipedia administration's decision but I would like to share information in my hand last time I don't would like to misunderstand, I love every people in the world, I don't care their origins.I admire and love plurality origins and cultures. I only would like to contribution in this article  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.54.255.43 (talk) 10:25, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Resolution attempted at . —  Newslinger  talk   06:48, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Just pointing out that in addition to this, this editor also vandalized Patriot Front (I reverted it as unsourced, then stopped and realized the organization is described as alt-right in the lead with numerous sources and is an infamous... well, look at the rest of the lead. It's not really something that they could legitimately be confused about.)  It might be simpler to take this to ANI (or AE due to it all falling under the AP DS), since by my reading this editor has no constructive edits and appears to be WP:NOTHERE. They've done literally nothing in their entire time here but remove sourced content and add unsourced content, despite numerous warnings. --Aquillion (talk) 06:52, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * While the sourcing to declare Epoch Times conspiratorial is fairly established, the sourcing in the article (at present) to call it "far right" in WP's voice is spartan. However, that's somewhat beside the point. The editor should familiarize themselves with other ways to resolve content disputes than 3RR. A brief restriction of editing privileges may give them time they could use to better familiarize themselves with our processes. If they fail to do so, I would suggest Binksternet is correct and they're not concerned about sanctions. Chetsford (talk) 07:01, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree that the best solution is an indefinite block as NOTHERE - I noticed the edit-warring last night but they hadn't had a 3RR warning. This morning I saw them pushing the argument that Nazism is left-wing. Doug Weller  talk 12:44, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

Repeated insertions of unsourced and incorrect ethnic claims. Attempted resolution at my own talk page, which was blithely ignored and responded to with a tirade of falsehoods and intensified edit warring.

 * The comment above is ill-informed pearl-clutching and derives from a long-standing vendetta Elizium23 has against me and should therefore be disregarded for the POV (and baseless) attack it is. I have not refused to do so; avenues of discussion have been exhausted already, and comments have already been made on the article talk page. GPinkerton (talk) 03:43, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

 * The POV-pushing vandalism extends to Publius Septimius Geta (father of Septimius Severus),  History of Algeria, Tipaza, History of the violin, Andalusian Arabic , Catholic Church in Africa, as well as this very page. This editor needs blocking ASAP. GPinkerton (talk) 04:14, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
