Reply Thank you for considering the current situation. There had been clear policy based consensus for inclusion of material on the juror comments as agreed at Talk:Depp v. Heard/Archive 3. The juror's themselves are WP:BLP. The article presents several criticisms of jurors which Gtoffoletto presented in a section 3 Reactions, 3.1 Social media coverage 3.1.2 Effect on the jury and, despite consensus based on, WP:BALANCE, Gtoffoletto is leave criticisms of jury integrity without inclusion of comment directly from a jury member. Other articles on trials include sections on jury comment and there's no reason why ''Depp v. Heard should be different. Against consensus removing of content GregKaye 18:44, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * WP:NOTTHEM. "Enforcing consensus" isn't an exemption from WP:3RR, but the link you provided shows nothing like consensus. VQuakr (talk) 18:59, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * On the Depp v. Heard talk page editors have been highlighting infringements of WP:BRD which I personally followed. I was then faced with the current situation where, despite reverts, there was no return to discussion and I carried on.
 * As another evidence of editor support, after reviving the Juror content, another editor added to it. GregKaye 20:11, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * "Following BRD" (an essay and optional method of editing) is not an exemption from 3RR, either. VQuakr (talk) 20:18, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Which leaves a situation where an editor can just persist in pushing for a change (even from a situation that others have supported) and get their way. GregKaye 20:33, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Several acceptable recourses are available to you as listed at WP:AVOIDEDITWAR. Edit warring is not one of them. VQuakr (talk) 20:41, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * That's helpful. I'd suggest that those resources might also be adopted by editors making changes away from variously supported content. GregKaye 20:57, 20 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but Gtoffoletto is clearly in the wrong in this instance. Despite Gtoffoletto admitting in one of their edit summaries that they knew talk page consensus was not in their favor, Gtoffoletto continued to edit war:, , , , . If anything, GregKaye was the user editing to maintain the WP:STATUSQUO. Just 2 hours before this report was created, Gtoffoletto said here that "challenging" the consensus at the talk page would be "very very easy", a clear indication that they were aware there was an active talk page discussion for them to contribute. Instead, Gtoffoletto edit warred. If an editor wants to add contentious nonsense to an article about jurors breaking the law, it is the responsibility of the editor seeking to add said content to find consensus before addition, especially when it comes to WP:BLPs.

 * You added unsourced material and have been asked two or three times to provide a source, and yet you just revert back with WP:OTHERSTUFF reasons, so dont bother. Snowflake91  (talk) 09:38, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Again you are trying to go against the established Wikipedia handball standard and consensus. There is no practice of sourcing capacities in handball season articles. Nowhere! Apart for that you are rude and uncooperative. 93.138.65.235 (talk) 11:15, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Is there a consensus that this content doesn't need to be sourced? Or is it that other articles just aren't as well sourced as they should be? — Czello 11:38, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is the consensus that it does not need to be sourced in each individual season article. Just check. Deleting this here is not only disruptvie but also biased against one selected country. 93.138.65.235 (talk) 14:41, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Can you provide a link to this consensus, or where it was achieved? — Czello 14:52, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The consensus can steam from practice. It is an implied consensus. WP: EDITCON If you want to change it you can open the debate at some sports project. 93.138.65.235 (talk) 15:01, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Bullshit. Just because no one provided references on many handball articles throughout years, that doesn't mean it is now a "consensus" to not use them. And even if there would be a consensus for that, how can you even add something to the article that has no source anywhere, from where is the information taken? For over 60% of those tiny venues of Slovenian handball clubs, which are literally just school gyms, you wont find a capacity numbers anywhere on the internet, I checked everything, so some editors obviously looked at the pictures of the venues and made up some random approximate numbers by themselves, which is full WP:OR. Snowflake91  (talk) 15:07, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * See, tipical answer, using words like this. It is not my fault that you could not find enough sources. Why cannot you participate in the talk page normally in a civilised manner? 93.138.65.235 (talk) 15:15, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * This isn't enough. Uncited material can be challenged and removed at any time. — Czello 16:19, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Can you list those "established handball standard and consensus"? WikiProject Handball is more or less dead and doesnt have any official guidlines, and yes you need to provide sources for everything if needed, I dont care what other handball articles have as a huge majority of handball articles are poor in styling, unsourced, many original research content etc., you cannot just include some random approximate numbers that you made up by yourself, the capacity sources for those tiny primary school gyms doesnt exist anywhere. Snowflake91  (talk) 11:40, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I have no problem of discussing individual capacities and comparing sources on the talk pages, in fact I would very much prefer that. Instead I got your uncooperative editing and removing the whole category altogether. 93.138.65.235 (talk) 14:58, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Fine, so when you find a reliable source for capacity of all 14 venues that are listed in the article, you can add capacities back. And remember that capacity may vary throughout years, so even if you find something, it doesnt mean that those numbers were the same back in 2012, as this article is about the 2012–13 season. Snowflake91  (talk) 15:11, 22 July 2022 (UTC)


 * The underlying issue is the IP attempting to force the information into the article without discussion. The correct procedure is to discuss the situation at Talk:2012–13 Slovenian First League (men's handball); I don't see any use of the article talk page in the IP's edit history. —C.Fred (talk) 15:06, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I tried that and proposed many times, but he did not want to discuss. 93.138.65.235 (talk) 15:19, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Really? Your one post to the talk page was a minute before this one. —C.Fred (talk) 15:20, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, check edit summaries. The editor in question started cooperating only when I started this thread here, so I believe I did the right thing. 93.138.65.235 (talk) 15:44, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * No, you did not. As I stated before, you should have initiated discussion at the talk page. —C.Fred (talk) 16:32, 22 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment We resolved the dispute. Thanks everyone for help. 93.138.65.235 (talk) 17:17, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Result: The filing IP, 93.138.65.235, is warned they may be blocked the next time they make an unsourced change to the article. The dispute is about handball arena capacities. If there is a good source for these, I haven't seen it yet. When there is no good source Wikipedia can probably get along without the information. EdJohnston (talk) 17:40, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Systematic reverts and unrelenting battleground mentality, major WP:OWN. Outrageous and abusive edit summaries.

 * . It's a little difficult to take stock of the diffs provided - it would have been more convenient if they'd had dates as well as clock times, since three different days are involved - but AFAICS, there's no 3RR violation here. For example, User:पाटलिपुत्र, the diffs you have listed as no. 3 - 8 above were consecutive (as were various others), and consequently count as one edit for edit warring purposes. Please see the pink banner at WP:3RR. Bishonen &#124; tålk 16:04, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't know how to make it clearer: from 1 to 8 above, you have 4 reverts + 1 set of consecutive reverts which counts as 1, so that counts as 5 reverts in 24 hours... The accounting is clear, but what is even more important is the systematic revert pattern and the verbal abuse. I added dates for your convenience. पाटलिपुत्र  Pat  (talk) 16:17, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * ? No, from 1 to 8 above, you have 2 reverts (nos. 1 and 2) plus 1 set of 6 consecutive reverts which count as 1 (nos. 3 - 8). 2 + 6 = 8. So that counts as 3 reverts. Bishonen &#124; tålk 16:25, 21 July 2022 (UTC).
 * 1, 2 and 3 are not consecutive (3 is certainly not consecutive, as it follows a contribution of mine), so that's already 3 reverts. I agree 4-8 may be consecutive, although they are reverting two different users. Even in this case, that's 4 reverts in all. पाटलिपुत्र  Pat  (talk) 16:34, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Diff of ANEW notice posted to user's talk page:

Comments: Slow pace edit warring over the course of several days. The user has repeatedly removed a reference, verifikado.com, disputing its reliability. While at first did not provide reasons to support the dispute, citing apparent personal impressions (saying "doesnt appear reliable" in his first edit summaries), in the last reverts Hipal has cited WP:REFSPAM in the last reverts.

Hipal has argued that the onus lies on me to demonstrate the reference reliability. I responded by saying that the source does not show any apparent concern, not being a blog or a self-published outlet, that its reliability remained undisputed for years, and that per WP:BRD, the onus lies on them to demonstrate its unreliability. Another editor, SandyGeorgia, has specifically supported the source's reliability when asked about it. In the following restorations, I tried to include changes to address the voiced concerns, such as adding complementary sources, but these were discarded as well. In his last response to my comments, the editor has asked me to "not waste his time", which I fear that can show an unwillingness to discuss the issue further.

Since this is mostly a content dispute issue, I request the stable versions, before the reverts, to be restored, while the discussion is allowed to continue in the articles talk pages. NoonIcarus (talk) 13:25, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Although they have clearly been of concern to the editors working on these pages, the reverts have neither been frequent nor recent enough to rise to the level of edit warring actionable here, as the original post somewhat concedes. The parties are advised to continue to resolve this through discussion, bringing others in through the processes available to them if they would like, in order to reach a consensus.

Diff of ANEW notice posted to user's talk page: [diff]

Comments: I tried to persuade user Aleenf1 to stop his disruptive edits, with no success. His only explanations to revert my editions were "MOS:WORDPRECEDENCE and MOS:NOICONS (on the articles summary)," which are incorrect, so in the case of MOS:flags, there is no problem to show flags on lists/tables and they are discouraged on infoboxes (this is not the case). About MOS:icons, they are not allowed in prose format (this isn't the case, either). He also refused to solve this dispute on the talk page. Fma12 (talk) 00:22, 21 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Fma12 is breaking the MOS:FLAGS, where "Flag icons may be relevant in some subject areas, where the subject actually represents that country or nationality", it doesn't look like he/she get it. Icons should serve an encyclopedic purpose and not merely be decorative. He/she clearly breaking the manual of style without any consensus. --Aleen f 1 00:43, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * First of all: I'm "he". Second, according to MOS, flags are suggested to be allowed on infoboxes (and this is about a table). With his reversions, the user not only supressed flags but other paramethers and data added to tables (p.e.: sortable option, number of editions of the tournaments, further notes on template:refn). Furthermore, similar sports articles featuring list of winning teams (p.e. UEFA European Championship, or Copa América) show the respective host countries/cities with their flagicons. Fma12 (talk) 00:52, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Taking other example doesn't reflect that it follow the Manual of Style, and also doesn't reflect that consensus are done by it. --Aleen f 1 00:59, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't mind you taking other example from football, field hockey host is awarded to to a city and not represent a country. Therefore is clearly a MOS breaking. --Aleen f 1 01:02, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Hockey is not an isolated item, this format can be also found on rugby union competitions (such as Rugby World Cups), where flags are used. Or can be omitted if a consensus is reached, I don't have a problem with that. But when you reverted the edits you also erased other significative changes, not only the flags. And that's because you were reported. Instead of trying to be reasonable and search a consensus, you preferred to revert all the changes, giving vague summaries such as "mos" without being specific. Just like you're being now. Fma12 (talk) 01:13, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Your contradiction and lack of valid reasons are proved on this last reversion, where you put "MOS:NOICONS" as the edit summary, a totally wrong statement as long as it refers to "Do not use icons in general article prose" (and a table does not have any 'prose' clearly). Fma12 (talk) 01:24, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Is your own opinion, WORDPRECEDENCE still making priority. --Aleen f 1 01:27, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Until now, all the MOS you cited as in an attempt to justify your disruptive reversions (flags, noicons, and wordprecedence) do not apply to the changes I made, for the reasons explained above. On the contrary, if you disagree with the use of flags, you could have erased them from the table instead of reverting all the changes made, which were more than a simple flag addition. And I'm not giving an opinion, I'm talking about facts. – Fma12 (talk) 14:33, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, the facts of breaking MOS, stop your claim of disruptive. You come with your "facts" to rescue your editing. I stop of putting any further comments here. --Aleen f 1 15:38, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I did not break any MOS and gave enough evidence of that, while you only came here with falacious statements. In fact, I reported you because of your repetitive reversions with no desire of consensus. Once this dispute is solved, I will restore the paramethers you arbitrarily erased. Fma12 (talk) 15:42, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Both of you went up to the line that day, then stopped. The discussion above has clearly been testy but it is infinitely preferable to further edit warring. Daniel Case (talk) 18:27, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

Comment. I am glad to see 84.x now using "reliability" of sources as a criterion. "Notability" of sources had been their primary criterion in previous discussions. Another important policy guideline is: " Consensus on Wikipedia does not mean unanimity (which is ideal but not always achievable), nor is it the result of a vote. Decision making and reaching consensus involve an effort to incorporate all editors' legitimate concerns, while respecting Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. " (from WP:CONS). I have done my best to follow WP:TALKDONTREVERT, etc., although it was easy to fall into 3RR when "collaborating" with a series of SPA's and meat and sock puppets who don't seem to know or care about wikipedia guidelines. I'm no expert, but I do attempt to present my positions, and consider others', in terms of consistency with guidelines. -- Yae4 (talk) 04:01, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Improper ANEW, no evidence of a 3RR violation. I've enforced editor consensus from the talk page and acted in good faith in general. I was about to slap you with Uw-disruptive3 for your initiation to add disputed/contentious statements about "open-source" to the article for the fifth time, despite several (3-4) other editors disagreeing with you, but did assume good faith.
 * Restore revision 1099239087: Remove original research / undue weight : Your edit was incorporated assuming good faith with Special:Diff/1099460465 before you opened this ANEW, on the basis that consensus exists about "open-source"ness, but the consensus may have been unclear before being reverted; the consensus should not be unclear to me anymore, because reverted Yae4's edits again: Special:Diff/1099481390. Nothing to do here.
 * The diffs you have shown are 1 edit / revert. I have not been a participant to the "attempt to resolve" on talk, nor shown awareness to it.
 * ANEW is not a place for resolving content disputes (or to attempt to get deprecate editors who disagree with you); see WP:DR. 84.250.14.116 (talk) 01:21, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * There is also no warning/awareness of 3RR demonstrated. The 3RR "awareness" linked here is to a different topic, where User:Yae4 was the violator of 3RR. I had reverted Yae4 once in that former scenario, Yae4 reverted back (violated 3RR) and got partial blocked for a week. 84.250.14.116 (talk) 01:42, 21 July 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) 15 December 2019: GrapheneOS AfC cleanup date. The source model is described as "free and open source", "free" and "open source".
 * 2) On 24 December 2021, 47.198.1.28 (single-purpose account) changed the status to "mostly free and open-source". No references were added, modified or removed, nor was the statement clarified (unsourced).
 * 3) On 16 January 2022, User:TiltedLeft2 (single-purpose account) reverts 47.198.1.28 and restores the status to "free and open-source" with no mention of "proprietary components", requesting a source.
 * 4) On 17 January 2022, User:Yae4 reverts User:TiltedLeft2 (now "mostly free and open-source" and "open source with proprietary components"), explaining with an edit summary "Similar has been added to most Android OS articles".
 * 5) On 18 June 2022, 125.235.133.212 (single-purpose account) makes a claim in edit summary GrapheneOS is no longer open source, referring in edit summary to OSI definition and AOSP Alliance issue. They removed definitions of "free software" and "open source" from the article, replacing it with "source available".
 * 6) On 19 June 2022, User:Yae4 reverted 125.235.133.212 for original research.
 * 7) On 21 June 2022, User:Yae4 claims "partly free and open-source" and adds three GitHub sources.
 * 8) On 22 June 2022, User:Resonantia (anonymous proxy user according to WP:SPI) reverts User:Yae4's claims of "partly free and open-source" for original research, removes Yae4's GitHub sources. Edit warring follows.
 * 9) On 22 June 2022, I (84.250.14.116) start contributing to the GrapheneOS article at a coincidental time, disagree the statement's match to sources, and revert User:Yae4's "partly open-source" claims and GitHub sources.
 * 10) On 22 June 2022, User:Yae4 changes the status from "partly free and open-source" to "partly open-source".
 * 11) On 24 June 2022, User:Resonantia (anonymous proxy user according to WP:SPI) tags the GitHub sources from User:Yae4 as user-generated and disputed.
 * 12) On 3 July 2022, User:EndariV (single-purpose account) joins to edit the GrapheneOS article. They remove Yae4's GitHub sources as "highly editorialized interpretation/analysis based on a primary, not notable source".
 * 13) On 3 July 2022, User:Yae4 reintroduces the GitHub sources under a section named "Licensing history".
 * 14) On 3 July 2022, User:Jann ruhe (single-purpose account) removed User:Yae4's GitHub sources yet again, edit summary GrapheneOS lead developer making a claim in a GitHub issue and citing it here does not count as "Licensing history."
 * 15) On 4 July 2022, 142. IP tells on article talk page what's wrong with User:Yae4's edits in repeated detail.
 * 16) On 6 July 2022, User:Yae4 adds "Disputed" tagging to reliably sourced statements about "open-source".
 * 17) On 6 July 2022, I (84.250.14.116) revert User:Yae4 for disruptive editing (I'm removing the "disputed" tags).
 * 18) On 19 July 2022, User:Yae4 reintroduces GitHub sources as footnotes.
 * 19) On 20 July 2022, I (84.250.14.116) revert User:Yae4's GitHub sources as original unresearch and giving undue weight to opinions of one party of a dispute.
 * 20) On 20 July 2022, I (84.250.14.116) self-revert and allow User:Yae4's edits to go into a section for a few days, pending more consensus.
 * 21) On 21 July 2022, User:EndariV reverts the section I added, effectively reverting User:Yae4's edits today again.
 * 22) On 21 July 2022, User:Yae4 adds GitHub sources back as 84.250.14.116 did (reverts User:EndariV).
 * 23) On 21 July 2022, User:EndariV reverts User:Yae4 again with reason: There is still no clear consensus on the relevance of this with the main article. This does not mean it gets to stay just because there's a lack of consensus..

Other signs of bad faith behavior to account for AN/I:
 * 1) On 22 June 2022, User:Yae4 suspects me of sock puppetry.
 * 2) On 22 June 2022, User:Yae4 requests semi-protection of GrapheneOS article, in response to my good faith edits and revert of User:Yae4.
 * 3) On 23 June 2022, User:Yae4 is partially blocked for violation WP:3RR at the GrapheneOS article, no page protection applied.
 * 4) On 29 June 2022, User:Yae4 makes an SPI case about four accounts editing the article, including me. Three accounts are found unrelated, one account is banned as a twin puppet, three remain unbanned.
 * 5) On 4 July 2022, User:Yae4 opens AN/I cases against disagreeing editors 142. and 84.250.14.116. No administrative action was taken. I (84.250.14.116) warned User:Yae4 for continuing to add GitHub sources, after seeing new editors disagreed for various reasons.
 * 6) On 4 July 2022, User:Yae4 makes claims me (84.250.14.116) to be wikihounding User:Yae4. No administrative action was taken against me.
 * 7) On 14 July 2022 (17:26), User:RoySmith tells User:Yae4 that they don't see personal attacks at Talk:GrapheneOS.
 * 8) On 14 July 2022 (21:28), User:Yae4 hides 142. and my messages from Talk:GrapheneOS anyway, calling 142's messages as "editor attacks".
 * 9) On 20 July 2022, User:Yae4 opens this ANEW case against me for "edit warring" in this subject.

There's an anon IP user that is making repeated edits to Aswan Dam with an English language source that does not support their claim and a Russian language source. Attempts to reach out to user [here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Aswan_Dam#Why_is_he_trying_to_hide_the_truth?] have resulted in personal attacks. Editor is also using a second IP, but per wp:good faith I assume this is not an attempt at sock-puppetry but just posting form a different location (home vs. school).

 * Result: Page semiprotected two months due to long term edit warring. Please note that sources don't have to be in English; we would normally accept good-quality Russian sources if any can be found. EdJohnston (talk) 16:49, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
 * OK. Thanks. I'll take further use of the Russian source on good faith and extend an olive branch to the editor.
 * For the future reference, do we have written guidance on foreign language sources? I mean, how do know a source is "good-quality" if I literally can't read a word of it? Is there a notice/help board where I can request someone with fluency to review? KNHaw   (talk)  20:33, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
 * See WP:NONENG. Though if a Russian firm built the dam, be aware that national pride might have influenced some reporters who covered the issue. The Aswan Dam is a big enough issue that normally you would expect to see it written about in English-language books by this time. So if you search in Google Books you might come up with some English-language results. EdJohnston (talk) 22:54, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Diff of ANEW notice posted to user's talk page:

Comments:

Long time edit warrior committed to drawn out edit warring. Returned to edit war immediately after previous block ended back in May before the report by User:UtoD had even been archived. Never stopped since, albeit after waiting a few days in between reverts. Recently mass reverted to a "safe version" (their version) in response to me removing blog sources added by them. Responded with deflection in reaction to notice about usage of blogs:. Current mass revert once again ignored all consensus building in talk, and only occurred after User:Chanakal advised them to be careful with their reversions, still resulting in a lazy deletion and combined section where further information links are at the bottom.

Several previous blocks and warnings by multiple users can be seen on their talk page which is almost exclusively composed of warnings and report notifications. See previous block back in May, comment and comment by User:Floydian, comment by User:CurryCity, my own comment. Ignores talk and consensus building. Copy pasted a single reply to two different sections:,. Ignored all calls by User:Simpleshooter99 to resolve dispute through third party opinion:, , ,. Qiushufang (talk) 01:53, 26 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Initially User:Qiushufang and User:Thriley were supposed to be brought in as a neutral third-party over the debt trap controversy . There was initially a consensus version or safe version agreed upon by myself, User:Qiushufang and User:Thriley where debt trap would just be a paragraph inside External Debt  as this would not overshadow the other Causes like Tax Cuts, Agricultural Crisis, Tourism, etc. However User:Qiushufang added content directly from Debt-trap diplomacy resulting in this bloated version which is WP:UNDUE and WP:COATRACKING. So I placed Debt Trap back inside External Debt, which preserved most of the other copyedits and grammar fixes as per User:Chanakal's concern, while going back to the safe version on debt trap while also including a link on that subject's own page directly. FobTown (talk) 21:52, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * You can't "charge" someone with WP:COAT, it's not a WP. See similar behavior of deflection by Fob in the report by User:MarkH21 back in May 2020. Fob has not changed. Qiushufang (talk) 02:04, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Have noticed that User:Qiushufang is involved in edit warring on Debt-trap diplomacy, with similar charges of WP:COATRACKING too. FobTown (talk) 02:08, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * FobTown has just cut content from their initial reply and used it as a second reply: . I honestly don't know what to say at this point. Qiushufang (talk) 02:19, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

from editing the article, per most other blocks imposed on this user in the last year or so for similar conduct. Daniel Case (talk) 18:46, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I have been dealing with FobTown for almost two years now. The behaviour listed above is the same experience I've had time and time again, as well as the continual insertion of wordy, unsourced material into good an featured articles; I've pounded my keyboard in utter stress and frustration many times. I've seen several editors who provide meaningful contributions get permabanned for far lesser infractions, much less a multi-year history of WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT. The only reason they have managed to slip by almost unnoticed is that they edit niche topics that aren't patrolled by administrators, or by people willing to compile a bunch of diffs to create a report (such as myself). Although they occasionally show signs of "getting it", FobTown's talk page says enough. I would like to put forward a 30 day block, site wide. After that period, they should be placed on a 1 Revert sanction for a full year. Time to force the hand on discussion rather than reversion. - Floydian τ ¢ 11:57, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * In fairness of our last dispute in May 2022, I was the one that had to initiate the talk page discussion for Ontario Highway 5, which was just over the clarify of the 427 photo. I didn't remove the 1955 black and white photo that you added, even though you tried to justify that as a replacement for the removed 427 photo. In response to sourcing issues in Ontario Highway 403 over the 401-410 construction, I have found supporting material to rectify it.  I felt that you decided to make our Ontario highways disputes personal when you jumped into Peng Shuai and chose sides without considering the material in question, this was later settled by an RfC FobTown (talk) 14:28, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Also don't appreciate you mischaracterizing all our disputes, especially those that are one-on-one where other editors were not involved at all. Example is Ontario Highway 427 in February 2021 which was over which photos you deemed "high quality" or aesthetically-pleasing but which fails to show the key attributes of the freeway . I left your art photos in the article, but you kept vetoing the ones I wanted to add over issues of "white balance" or "driver perspective". And for Queen Elizabeth Way I thought it was okay to describe the type of interchange just by looking at an aerial view or map (i.e. stack, parclo A4). FobTown (talk) 14:55, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Article is under 1RR, this brand new account started edit warring content in, was formally warned of the discretionary sanctions, and continued edit warring anyways in the last diff. Entirely non-responsive on their talk page or edit summaries. Could have gone to WP:AE, but I figured this board would be more appropriate for low-level disruption like this. Technically the second diff isn't a 1RR violation because they weren't notified yet, but the third definitely was. KoA (talk) 15:36, 26 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Just an FYI: The second diff isn't a violation whether they were warned before it or not, as it was their first revert. GabberFlasted (talk) 16:50, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Yup, that first revert is considering WP:GAMING of 1RR (or just 3RR) based on the Arb discussions we had when crafting the DS. The expectation was that if someone just tries to "use up" their single revert for the day, it's still a violation considering that the person is expected to follow WP:ONUS policy and get consensus for the edit. That's what brings the last revert into clear violation territory in multiple aspects rather than just crossing the bright line. KoA (talk) 17:19, 26 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Got a response on their talk page finally, doesn't really look good You can block me, tbh. But it seemed weird to reference a criticism without context from a source whose trustworthiness has been put into doubt. If I violated rules, I accept it. KoA (talk) 19:27, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Again this user Fostera12 is making edits on the article in spite of a discussion going on and a notice on their talk page. Thier (Fostera12) edits are according to their assumptions. For example, in this revision his reason is to the edit seems to be personal. In this edit , Fostera12 is saying that while the article is assessing notability, the article can be improved, the term did not start off with Telugu cinema, the article is written like an advertisement, there was enthirn before baahubali, let us not get into it, but most of the sources clearly say that the term is emerged from Telugu cinema/Tollywood. In an other edit , they (Fostera12) mentioned that there was enthirn Enthiran before baahubali, let us not get into it, but how's that even realted to the article. Such kind of edits are disruptive. Also, there's another case where they have made disruptive edit which is an evidence of their lack of editing skills on wikipedia. See here , in this edit they have removed sourced content saying that added correct citation for 12th IFFI, it was not screened at cannes, but the film Pushpaka Vimana (1987 film) was indeed premiered at the Cannes film festival according to already added sources and the new one which is added by me .

 * These are matters of a content dispute. This noticeboard is not to solve content disputes, but rather to address ongoing edit wars. See WP:EW for the general concept of edit warring, and the bright line rule that identifies what is almost always considered edit warring. The problem here on this noticeboard isn't correct or incorrect information, it is the breakdown of communication and cooperative editing, wherein the editing process is disrupted by large-scale and high-frequency reversions and rollbacks. Let me be clear in that I am not taking a side here, not that what I believe matters anyway. GabberFlasted (talk) 16:34, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I think I've never reported someone bcs of 3rr but not sure the editor is a vandal or just an unexperienced editor with a strong opinion not engaging in discussion, so I chose this to seek a short topic ban (and more importantly some advice to the editor) instead of a vandalism ban. From my point of view the editor keeps removing perfectly sound sourced info under various pretexts. The edit summaries say a lot. I also made an attempt to edit the page as to reflect the two sources more directly but that did not help. BTW I see my reverts as reverting obvious vandalism but I suppose the editor does not share that notion. WikiHannibal (talk) 10:22, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Editor repeatedly restores their preferred version. User:Simpleshooter99  and I   have repeatedly called for a third party opinion and consensus building. Editor ignores our requests, makes a comment on the talk page, and then almost immediately reverts the article to their desired version.FobTown Talk Logs FobTown article edit logs

I have also added information not related to the dispute: "The country pursued an economic policy that kept exports low and imports high, which depleted the country's foreign currency reserves. According to the government, Sri Lanka's tourist trade, a major source of foreign currency for the country, was affected by both the Covid pandemic and a series of bomb attacks in 2019 that scared off tourists. "

I've added this information three times and it was removed twice without any reason by editor, showing that editor is not even reading my edits and is indiscriminately reverting to their preferred version.  Editor only stop when I brought it up in the talk page. 

Editor was blocked from editing 2019–present Sri Lankan economic crisis on 26 July 2022. Editor has been partially blocked 5 times in 2022:


 * User:LilAhok and User:Simpleshooter99 were adamant about repeatedly removing the below statement in italics even though it was well-supported by sources, as they claim that the mere mention of debt-trap is misinformation and unfair criticism to China. Their talk page arguments are the same thing over and over again. Indeed if you look at User:Simpleshooter99's editing history, they have a history of provocative edit summaries like "Vandalism Alert, FAKE INFORMATION. The port wasn't actually leased due to failing to repay Chinese loans. (Lookup Wikipedia article for debt Trap diplomacy for the actual story".
 * User:LilAhok has removed it twice   User:LilAhok eventually appeared to support the below statement while reinstating the blurb from the BBC.  Right after this then User:Simpleshooter99 comes in and removes the below statement.   I eventually thought that User:Simpleshooter99 conceded, so I put forth a compromise that would incorporate both the below statement as well as a debt breakdown added by User:Simpleshooter99.
 * User:BooleanQuackery, who was previously uninvolved, has viewed FobTown's wording maintains neutrality by using words like "accused" and "argue." (Although "said" would still be better.) If good sources mention the existence of a debt-trap, and if that is relevant to the protests, then let the page reflect that.
 * As part of its Belt and Road Initiative, China was the major source of loans for many megaprojects whose viability has been questioned, causing many to argue that "Sri Lanka's economic relations with China are the main driver behind the crisis". Critics have accused China of using a "debt trap" strategy to gain influence over Sri Lanka and other countries, but others have disputed this.     FobTown (talk) 12:53, 29 July 2022 (UTC)


 * That seems like cherrypicking, but in regards to my very first edit description a month back. I typically learn edit rules by watching others, and merely copied the edit description that I once read a month ago that was made from an experienced editor who used that edit description (Vandalism Alert, FAKE INFORMATION). And yes, Fobtown kept trying to promote misinformation that Sri Lanka gave up the port after it could not pay off Chinese debts financing that port. Except many academics have shown why that is misinfo.   But Fobtown doesn't want to listen to that in Talk later on and just keeps replying, keeps ignoring what you said then just adding in his own pov pushing into article, that is contradicted by too many top scholars.


 * It is hardly just me. There are several others like User:Chanakal, User:UtoD, and User:Qiushufang who are frustrated at his unwillingness to listen to others and have notified him just that on his talk page within the past few months alone.
 * And right now, even at the top of this page. There's still an edit warring discussion from a couple days ago, where an experienced editor User:Floydian who is very familiar with dealing with Fobtown is well aware of his constant WP:ICANTHEARYOU patterns.
 * In regards to this page, it is the same pattern whereas it doesn't matter what I say. And is not filibustering. I kept telling him repeatedly the issue is UNDUE emphasis and him removing the other parties. And has always been that you cannot follow the very first sentence that's stating that Sri Lanka's external debt increased rapidly. And then mislead readers into believing that's all majorly due to one country. And then self claim it's "stable version" despite two editors never agreed to that. And he could not accept that ISBs are what actually grew those external debts the most. And he also kept repeatedly removing my mentions of ISBs, reverting and flooding the first part of article with only his own undue weighted pov to present as if just one country alone is like the primary reason for the entire debt crisis despite showing him the hard facts on why it's undue emphasis, But despite China's deep involvement in the island nation, it is not the primary culprit in the current debt crisis. In fact, international sovereign bonds constitute the largest proportion of Sri Lanka's external debt — at 36.5 percent of total foreign debt and 47 percent of total foreign debt repayments by the end of 2021. They are owned mostly by private investors in the United States
 * However Fobtown doesn't always go to talk then revert. Sometimes he just straight up mass reverts multiple differently edits without any sufficient reasoning or Fair discussion, like Lilahok mentions above, are typically indiscriminate. Example is when he says in his edit description, that my "info is excessive for the lede" except his reverting actions does more than merely remove information from the Lede, but also deletes all my other edits from the other chapters which he gives absolutely zero reasons for removing them. . And I gave him a notice for edit warring on the talk page afterwards which he doesn't respond to. His Pattern is WP:ICANTHEARYOU and not just me but at least 4 other editors (noted Above) have complained about that of him in the past month alone. Simpleshooter99 (talk) 15:11, 29 July 2022 (UTC)


 * The conflicts with User:Floydian were months ago, and they were settled via the Talk page.
 * With regards to User:LilAhok and User:Simpleshooter99 repeatedly reverting to remove that brief well-sourced statement on China megaprojects and debt-trap, and then justifying it with a long argument each time insisted that "debt-trap" is wrong so it cannot be mentioned in the article even briefly, isn't that an example of BRD misuse including filibustering? On the related 2019–present Sri Lankan economic crisis, I've noticed that User:UtoD resorted to a similar pattern of reverts/arguments (and also ran quickly to the WP:Admin complaining of Edit Warring) and once they went silent, User:Simpleshooter99 continued on with such tactics.
 * User:BooleanQuackery, who was previously uninvolved, has opined FobTown's wording maintains neutrality by using words like "accused" and "argue." (Although "said" would still be better.)

 * Fob was article blocked on three different pages in 2022. The last one happened less than a month after a 31 hr block, at the end of which they immediately returned to edit war on the same article, the same one which they were eventually blocked from editing. In 2021 they were blocked for a week. In 2020 a 48 hr block. Fob's behavior is extremely consistent without any sign of changing and anyone who has been on the other side of their edit warring can attest to this. Their talk page history is almost exclusively composed of warnings and blocks. When I notified them not to use blog sources, they deflected and threatened to report me for WP:COATRACKING: . Not only is Fob a long time edit warrior, Fob shows belligerence and lack of civility towards anyone not on their side while canvassing anyone who even shows the slightest bit of support: . After Floydian voiced their support of the last edit war report on Fob, Fob went to their user page and called their behavior "trolling": . Qiushufang (talk) 16:02, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The message to Floydian was because they had misrepresented our disputes which happened a while back (I was the one that went to the talk page first on Ontario Highway 5), so it is perfectly civil to ask them not to hold a past grudge. FobTown (talk) 17:25, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * It's not a grudge. Your talk page is obviously on my watchlist, and I see the same behaviour that I experienced with you (whether or not one such case of that was settled on the talk page after a game of cat and mouse through multiple articles) is being repeated on other topics. - Floydian τ ¢ 17:32, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * If its not a grudge, what is it? You jumped into Peng Shuai and chose sides without considering the material in question, this was later settled by an RfC
 * Boiling it down to the content in question, with its supporting sources this is a fair statement, but its getting deleted due to repeated reverts accompanied by a Talk Page filibuster - As part of its Belt and Road Initiative, China was the major source of loans for many megaprojects whose viability has been questioned, causing many to argue that "Sri Lanka's economic relations with China are the main driver behind the crisis". Critics have accused China of using a "debt trap" strategy to gain influence over Sri Lanka and other countries, but others have disputed this. FobTown (talk) 17:47, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * "User:LilAhok eventually appeared to support the below statement while reinstating the blurb from the BBC." No, I don't support your statement. Speak for yourself. I have never voiced any support for your statement, and the link you've provided doesn't prove I support your statement. I didn't want to engage in an edit war with you, so I avoided making further edits. the link you've provided has nothing to do with the dispute. LilAhok (talk) 19:48, 29 July 2022 (UTC)


 * FobTown tends to claim support even when it doesn't actually exist (diff 1). They try to get edits in that way (diff 2). If they can't, they try again after two to three weeks (diff 3). We all make mistakes from time to time, but that last attempt was particularly disappointing, because EdJohnston had been contemplating an indef (diff 4) and during that discussion I explicitly mentioned FobTown's pattern of doubling-down on the same edit. That doesn't seem to have deterred them. Of course, I'm not saying their positions are always wrong, but they are not always right either. The problem is, they behave as if other editors are always wrong and should be overturned by any means necessary. Even when they decide to stop and not to edit war, it's only temporary; they come back soon enough to try the same edit again. They are high-maintenance in this sense.

NightHeron reverted an article three times in a slightly over 1-day period (1.1 days). Longstanding WP:EDITCONSENSUS generally aligns with the content of my edit. NightHeron has not fully explained the reasoning for reverting or adequately addressed concerns brought up on the talk page. The last revert was done while a discussion was taking place on the talk page. On the [| talk page], a user said that my "current rewrite is an improvement." That user agrees "that NightHeron should make whatever changes he thinks need to be made to the current version, rather than continuing to remove half of the entire article." After reading this, but before talking on the talk page, NightHeron reverted the article a third time, one day and three hours after the first revert. It seems like NightHeron has a history of reverting things generally, so I'm posting here to make sure resolution is achieved. I believe NightHeron is familiar with 3RR policies due to being on Wikipedia for a while and also |this. Thanks for taking a look at this. BooleanQuackery (talk) 19:16, 28 July 2022 (UTC)


 * I'd suggest a WP:BOOMERANG. The most recent stable iteration of the page looks like this, and is from May. BooleanQuackery edited in the disputed material yesterday. There is then a clear edit war over the new material between BooleanQuackery and NightHeron, without any sort of consensus on the talk page. While it's true that NightHeron violated the letter of WP:3RR first, BooleanQuackery is pretty clearly the one who provoked this edit war against the existing page consensus, and furthermore their edit pretty clearly violates the arbitration remedy at the top of the talk page.

 * The most recent stable iteration of page consensus can be found here, prior to the editing of Generalrelative and NightHeron. A page is not stable if the most recent edits were to remove over half of the article's content, and the very next edit restores some of that content. Also, stable versions of pages are not superior or preferred to disputed edits in any way, especially in a content dispute. See the discussion on the talk page for why my edit was in line with consensus. The peer reviewed, academic sources I added are not dubious. NightHeron has not indicated which sources, out of the two-dozen removed, were problematic. I would be happy to have a discussion about sources on the talk page, and a better alternative would just be for NightHeron to edit only the sources and related content deemed problematic, as opposed to blanket reverting everything. My edit did not violate WP:NPOV. However, if it did, it should not have been deleted; it should be updated per WP:POVDELETION. Wikipedia works best by iteratively improving articles.

Yesterday BooleanQuackery made massive changes to Spearman's hypothesis, more than doubling the size of the article from 9500 bytes to almost 20,000. These edits radically altered the content, especially in the lead, which then gave the impression that Spearman's hypothesis is overwhelmingly supported by scientific evidence. The earlier stable version of the article emphasized criticism of the hypothesis. BooleanQuackery deleted the following two sentences from the lead of the stable version: Claims of validity of Spearman's hypothesis have been criticized on methodological grounds. Such claims have been used to support scientific racism. As explained in the main body of the article, it was Arthur Jensen, one of the most prominent 20th century promoters of Scientific racism, who coined the term Spearman's hypothesis and popularized it in order to build his case that certain races are genetically inferior to others in intelligence.

I reverted these edits because they violate WP:PROFRINGE and WP:UNDUE. The claims of genetic differences in intelligence between racial groups were discussed in an RfC in 2020 at WP:FTN (see ) and in 2021 on the Race and intelligence talk-page (see ). Both RfCs on race and intelligence had extensive participation by many editors, over 50 in 2020 and about 35 in 2021. The first one reached a consensus (sustained on appeal) that such claims of inherent intelligence differences between races is a fringe POV. This means that sources that promote such claims (such as the journals Mankind Quarterly and Intelligence (journal)) should be treated on Wikipedia in compliance with WP:PROFRINGE and not given undue attention. A few disgruntled editors were unhappy with this outcome. But the second RfC ended in a WP:SNOWCLOSE overwhelmingly reaffirming the consensus that racial hereditarianism is a fringe POV. After the RfC in 2020, articles related to racial hereditarianism were edited in accordance with the consensus of editors on the subject. It is those edits, in particular the ones that Generalrelative or I made, that BooleanQuackery is complaining about.

In my edit summary I urged BooleanQuackery to read WP:ONUS and WP:BRD. After BQ twice restored their reverted edits, I put a mild warning (the ewsoft one recommended for dealing with new users) on their talk-page. BooleanQuackery's response to my request to first seek a consensus on the talk-page was to claim that BQ already had a consensus overturning the consensus of the two RfCs of 2020 and 2021. This so-called consensus came from referring to old edits from much earlier versions of the article, edits that had been removed in order not to give undue attention to sources that promote the racial hereditarian fringe POV. BooleanQuackery's insistence on repeatedly restoring their edits shows their contempt for the normal process of forming consensus on Wikipedia. NightHeron (talk) 23:38, 28 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Yes, I WP:BOLDly added a lot of content to the article, after a lot of content had been deleted from the article in May.
 * Feel free to add back those two sentences. I have no issue with them. I deleted them at the time because I thought it was undue for the lede, and couldn't find support for the statement, respectively.
 * Yes, Jensen coined the term while Spearman first noted it. A large diverse array of authors have worked on it sense. To me, Jensen is only relevant historically.
 * My edits had nothing to do with "claims of genetic/inherent differences in intelligence between racial groups."
 * Mankind Quarterly should not be used as a source. Intelligence, on the other hand, is a legitimate reputable journal from Elsevier.
 * "After the RfC in 2020, articles related to racial hereditarianism were edited in accordance with the consensus of editors on the subject. It is those edits, in particular the ones that Generalrelative or I made, that BooleanQuackery is complaining about." No, it is not. I am not talking about edits in 2020 about "racial hereditarianism" topics. I only refer to the edits on the article "Spearman's hypothesis made in late May by NightHeron and Generalrelative (which improved many aspects of the article, but deleted too much good content).
 * "BooleanQuackery's response. . . was to claim that BQ already had a consensus overturning the consensus of the two RfCs of 2020 and 2021." No, this is not what I claimed at all. I'm not sure where this is coming from.
 * NightHerson says I referred to edits which gave "attention to sources that promote the racial hereditarian fringe POV." This is not true. I compiled a list of all editors who added examples of Spearman's hypothesis.
 * "BooleanQuackery's insistence on repeatedly restoring their edits shows their contempt. . . ." No, this is not true. I explicitly stated on the talk page that "[i]t is not my intention to advocate for the inclusion of all of the above sources." I reiterate the fact that I do not wish to restore the edits that NightHeron is referring to.
 * Also, it might be better to discuss some of this on the talk page instead. I will likely link this page there.

Eight of the 11 were authored or coauthored by Jan Te Nijenhuis, who is a leading promoter of theories of genetic differences in intelligence, especially between native Europeans and African immigrants; one of those eight articles was published in Mankind Quarterly, which for decades has been one of the main journals promoting Scientific racism. Three others were published in Intelligence, the official journal of ISIR, which functions as an echo-chamber for advocates of racial hereditarianism. After BQ's edits the lead of the article gave a distorted and misleading summary of the article and served only to give credence to a fringe POV.
 * BQ is correct that the edits by Generalrelative and me to this article were made more recently than most of the other edits that we and others made to articles with racial hereditarian content. But like those other edits, our edits to Spearman's hypothesis were made as a direct result of the consensus of the two RFCs on race and intelligence. NightHeron (talk) 01:41, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * -If you object to Jan Te Nijenhuis, then just remove the sources to Jan Te Nijenhuis and re-write and discuss if necessary. I don't support including any article published in Mankind Quarterly. I also don't mind if certain authors aren't used in the article. I haven't researched Jan Te Nijenhuis extensively. I searched for "meta-analysis," and he happened to have published multiple on the topic, so he was included multiple times. Also keep in mind that the Nijenhuis sources which I advocated for adding are peer-reviewed and often co-authored with multiple non-Nijenhuis authors.
 * -I do have to disagree about the journal Intelligence. It looks like a normal journal. The current issue contains no mention of ethnicity. Neither does the most recent full issue. Even if it was true that the journal Intelligence should not be used, that would not substantiate the removal of the rest of my sources, which were from a wide variety of authors and journals.
 * -I don't have a strong motivation to advocate for any particular journal or author. All I am advocating for is for there to be examples of Spearman's hypothesis included in Spearman's hypothesis. An update of the article addressing your concerns would be more constructive than a revert. BooleanQuackery (talk) 02:19, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * As noted in the initial report, there was no 3RR violation. I've watched this develop for a few days and it seems from above and the talk page like the involved editors are talking it out. Keep that up. Daniel Case (talk) 18:23, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * , has just attempted to introduce that same edit yet another time without talk page consensus. Loki (talk) 02:14, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
 * No, this is not an edit I have ever attempted to introduce. Per the edit description, it is a temporary revert to a stable version. The edit I would like to introduce can be found here: BooleanQuackery (talk) 02:25, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
 * No, it is not a revert to a stable version. You were inserting a pro-Jensen POV into the article with that edit, going against consensus. You've been refusing to adhere to the policy for a bold edit that I asked you to read about in WP:ONUS and WP:BRD. You're supposed to seek consensus before trying again to change the content of the article so that it promotes a POV that has been determined to be fringe by a consensus of editors in two recent RfCs. Your stubbornness about this is a case of WP:IDHT. NightHeron (talk) 13:22, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
 * That edit does not go against consensus. See the talk page where I've previously had this conversation, which would be a better and more relevant place to discuss than here. I would appreciate a diff (posted to talk page) where I tried to "change the content of the article so that it promotes a POV that has been determined to be fringe," because I'm genuinely not sure what this is referring to.

This user is citing a false definition of Ranghar and there is no need to cite the definition right after the word when there already is an article about the word. GujaratiHistoryinDNA (talk) 11:07, 31 July 2022 (UTC) I think this raises serious concerns, as lying in an edit war report showed utter contempt for our polcies.

 * NOte that being right is not a jusification for edit waring. Slatersteven (talk) 11:08, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Note as well that you removed long-standing content (see WP:ONUS). Slatersteven (talk) 11:09, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I did not remove any content. Everyone can find out the definition of Ranghar by simply going on the Wikipedia page. I also added content about Gulab Singh. GujaratiHistoryinDNA (talk) 11:12, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * [] you removed "(Muslim rajputs)". Slatersteven (talk) 11:14, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Because Ranghar does not signify "Muslim Rajputs". It is only a particular community of the Muslim Rajputs. There are other Muslim Rajput communities, not all of them are Ranghars. Understood? GujaratiHistoryinDNA (talk) 11:16, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Also, Rajput should be capitalized as it is a noun. I made that argument previously, none of you decided to take it. Hence, it was a quick mobile edit made by the user. GujaratiHistoryinDNA (talk) 11:17, 31 July 2022 (UTC)


 * How am I lying? I even wrote on the talk page of the user about the capitalization issues. Now I feel you are taking sides here. That's not honesty, but my fate on Wikipedia is not in my hands. GujaratiHistoryinDNA (talk) 11:21, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * And by your logic, you are contrasting what the article Ranghar says itself. GujaratiHistoryinDNA (talk) 11:22, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * You said "I did not remove any content", that was not true you removed "Muslim Rajputs". Slatersteven (talk) 11:34, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

After the user reverted 8 (!) of my edits, I've started a above mentioned article talk page discussion. While the discussion was taking place, the user kept reverting edits of mine on other articles, which are the two diffs provided. After warned and warned again to stop reverting while a discussion is taking place, the user warned me ( to stop edit warring. I'm making this apeal before things escelate. This report follows a similar one from a month ago (Administrators' noticeboard/3RRArchive455). CLalgo (talk) 00:34, 1 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I am not sure what game you are trying to play, but this is ridiculous. This discussion is still ongoing, my second revert was to add back the correct template (FlagCGFmedalist) and add a piped link to the article, which you erroneously removed with your blind reverting. I have fixed that here, and have NOT reverted your edit. Also, "on other articles," please stop lying. This is incorrect information. The only revert after the discussion started, has been on the Judo at the 2014 Commonwealth Games article, and that was to fix your erroneous revert. Also of note, the eight linked above would be reverts of my edits. I created all eight articles today, and the user reverted my edits FIRST. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 00:40, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
 * You see no problem doing the exact same revert on '14 while the discussion is still going on in '22? Saying nothing about antics. CLalgo (talk) 00:43, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
 * You see no problem with blindly reverting my edits twice on the same article, especially one that had a clear edit description? That is disruptive. My intention on the second revert was to add back the piped link and template you removed. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 00:46, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Friend, if I've reverted a piped link edit that was part of your revert than I'm sorry for that. As for your previous comments: One can't revert to something that never was. One can only edit it that case. I've changed the template you've used to another with more functionalities, like I've added categories to those articles and connected them to WikiData. That's editing. CLalgo (talk) 00:50, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
 * You also reverted and added back the incorrect template: CGFathlete, on the Judo at the 2014 Commonwealth Games article, with your blind reverts. You apologizing clearly demonstrates that you were blindly reverting on the article. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 00:56, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Also,
 * "An edit or a series of consecutive edits that manually reverses or undoes other editors' actions—whether in whole or in part—counts as a revert", you did that on all eight articles. You reversed my edits first. You were reverted, and a discussion started as per WP:BRD. There is no further disruption as the discussion continues. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 00:55, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Sportsfan is pretty well following WP:BRD here. You can emphasize them reverting eight (8!) of your edits all you like but you essentially made the SAME single edit to that many pages, and Sportsfan adequately reverted them. Leading to a discussion. SF essentially made one revert, and 2 on the one page you actually placed in the diff list. This just sounds like you were hoping to avoid being reverted by editing a large quantity of pages. GabberFlasted (talk) 11:23, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
 * My issue is not the first 8 reverts, that were before the discussion has started. my issue was the ones following it. CLalgo (talk) 11:34, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I find it deceptive to say that you take no issue with it, when you emphasized "8 (!)" reverts, and spent the time to provide a diff for each of them.
 * I also find it deceptive that the first "diff" you posted is actually a comparison of edits over 6 months apart. Furthermore, you cherry picked the versions that just so happened to align and provide a "no differences" diff, ignoring the subsequent edits the user made to immediately return and improve what was changed by two other users in the intermediate edits. This is looking more and more like a content dispute rather than edit warring. GabberFlasted (talk) 12:23, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Despite a clear and adequate explanation by on my own talk page, Sru111 continues to edit war to insert unsourced/poorly sourced cruft to the article. PRAXIDICAE🌈 19:04, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

You gave me zero reason for reverting my edits until the second time, acted like a complete asshole by ignoring my attempts at figuring out what was wrong, and now reported me after I added sources straight from the developers. You apparently can't follow a simple explanation of the setting and removed a Forbes article because you didn't personally like it. Ego much? Sru111 (talk) 19:23, 5 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I explained in my edit summary, as did Jeske. Perhaps you should read our policies before creating personal attacks. The one here without a clue is not me, it is in fact, you. Also ironic given your complete inability to follow a simple instruction while also attacking me on my talk page. PRAXIDICAE🌈 19:28, 5 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Like I said, you only did that in the second edit, and you never explained what you meant by "cruft" and just kept being an asshole. There was absolutely no reason to revert everything, as there was a source straight from a developer in the latter section, as I said, yet you did anyway, and now there are sources for the setting as well, yet you reported me anyway, and removed a review that you personally didn't like. And please, give me a break, you consider what I wrote on your page "attacking"? I made absolutely no insults towards you and barely even referenced you, and Jeske's response didn't include any further indication of what was wrong beyond lacking sources and not going too in-depth, while you just told me in the most asshole way possible to "learn to sign responses". Maybe try actually responding and explaining things to people instead of removing what they say and being an asshole about it? So how about actually explaining what's so "cruft" about my edits? Sru111 (talk) 19:44, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

GusRDRM is a single purpose account dedicated to writing about one particular algorithm and has previously indicated that they have a conflict of interest. MrOllie (talk) 16:33, 5 August 2022 (UTC)


 * This particular wikipedia page is about the brief description of several metaheuristic algorithms. As noted on the page, "This list is incomplete; you can help by adding missing items". That's exactly what I did, and that's exactly what other researchers are doing. It has nothing to do with self-promoting or whether the algorithm is mine or not. It has to do with the fact that this page is about a list of algorithms. User MrOllie seems to have become obsessed with this particular topic. I fill it in, he takes it out. As you will see in the comments of history, he judges it, saying e.g. "nonnotable, rarely used algorithm" although it leaves the Firebug Swarm Optimization algorithm which appears to be more "nonnotable", according to its citations. Really, can he explain to us why this distinction between those two? Also, how can he judge something that is not in his field? I wish the user MrOllie would stop messing with me, and if he wants to continue improving wikipedia he should learn to do his research before judging. GusRDRM (talk) 16:48, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
 * If It has nothing to do with self-promoting why did you say you have a conflict of interest? Please explain. MrOllie (talk) 16:53, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Because I had created a full page that has been put down in order for the algorithm to be on that list. If I remember correctly, I was asked to state this before the page was published. And now you take it out. I just say some information like everybody does. Also, I am still waiting for your explanation on my statements above. Thank you. GusRDRM (talk) 17:06, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

 * There are many problems with this report, but without going into them for the moment, you have failed to notify of this report, which you are required to do.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:32, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
 * What else is wrong with it? Tree Critter (talk) 15:46, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I simply adhere to WP:SYNTH; "Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any source. Similarly, do not combine different parts of one source to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by the source." The source that gives does not mention explicitly any of the information they want to verify, thus I removed it. Ippantekina (talk) 00:12, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, I added a rationale for my edits every time, but Tree Critter reverted my edits without proper explanation. This is as much as Tree Critter's fault, if not more than mine, to fail to acknowledge that I cite proper guidelines (WP:V, WP:OR or WP:SYNTH) every time I revert their edits. Ippantekina (talk) 03:55, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I have not combined sources, I'm using one source. I made the initial edits. You reverted my edits several times without taking your concerns to a talk page. I have brought it up in both your talk page and an article talk page because you didn't feel it necessary to do so. I'm not sure if you know what the contents of an album are, but its songs. The songs she has re-recorded. She said contractually she CANNOT re-record them any earlier than November 2020, so I had the articles reflect that. Later in the interview the interviewer asked "So, you'll be doing that?" an Taylor responded with "Yea it's next year. I'm gonna be busy." What is difficult to understand here? Tree Critter (talk) 15:59, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Page:
 * User being reported:

On the page Greatest of All Time, user:FMSky violated WP:3RR. On the third revision, he asked to talk on the talk page. I proceeded to do just that, only for him to not bother engaging there at all. Instead he talked about another editor and then asked that same editor to revert my edits since he had already violated 3RR. Then he has the audacity to accuse me of edit warring when he refused to engage in a conversation. Regardless, he has no basis for reverting my edits, he is gatekeeping the page, which violates WP:OWN, and he is trying to get me in trouble. Please discipline him Administrators.--Valkyrie Red (talk) 23:45, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * EDIT- here's a nice addendum. I posted the initial notification about the report on his talk page, and guess what, he proceed to REVERT that edit notifying him, with the following note in his reversion "inserting garbage into articles". So now we know his true motivation- he believes my edits to be garbage, violating WP:AGF and I'm sure some other principle that I cannot find at the moment. Either way, I have posted a second notification on his talk page, so that I do not get in trouble for not notifying.Valkyrie Red (talk) 23:49, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * It's hard to assume good faith when your first message is "Revert again and you will be reported for 3RR." (which doesnt even apply as the reverts were in a span of months) --FMSky (talk) 23:57, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * The span of August 5 = 1 month?Valkyrie Red (talk) 00:00, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * He said months, not 1 month, because the only way you can find 4 reverts is if you go back that far (it's more than a month because you'd have to go back to June 20). If you're only including August 5, it is exactly two reverts which is not a 3RR violation. - Aoidh (talk) 00:13, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Nice how all these users have time to show up and gang up on me here when I was trying to establish a consensus on the talk page and no one was conveniently responding there. 3RR means a total of 3 reversions means the total number of reversions done. He did the first, I the second, and him the third. 3.Valkyrie Red (talk) 02:29, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Notwithstanding by above note to VR, that's a completely incorrect assessment of policy (besides being moot since, as noted, FM didn't hit 3RR). Please don't weigh in here if you don't understand the edit-warring policy.  --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 03:15, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

I'd suggest everyone establish consensus at the existing thread at Talk:Greatest of All Time, and hopefully this report goes stale. The OP should be aware of WP:BOOMERANG, reporting a potential 3RR when they themselves are also edit warring and given their own block log history.—Bagumba (talk) 01:20, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * You have time to reach back 12 years ago but no time to respond to the talk page post. It's disappointing that it had to take a report on the Administrator's Noticeboard for you to do so.Valkyrie Red (talk) 02:26, 7 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Result: User:Valkyrie Red is warned. They may be blocked the next time they try to add an individual player (such as Michael Jordan) to this page unless they have obtained a prior consensus for their edit on the article talk page. In the thread at Talk:Greatest of All Time, editors have mentioned prior discussions that are relevant. A number of similar lists have been deleted at AfD, indicating a general opinion that lists of greatest players aren't suitable for the encyclopedia. EdJohnston (talk) 18:26, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

This user made 4 reverts during 3 hours.

I did ask Gitz6666 to self-revert and use dispute resolution 00:20, 7 August 2022, but they continued reverts (diffs above).

This is especially concerning because they edit war over including the same content earlier: 15:39, 30 July 2022, 10:51, 29 July 2022,19:22, 12 July 2022. They edit war about other content on the same page. For example,

 * I doubt the first diff, 23:39, 6 August 2022, is actually a revert. MVBW says nearly the same version included by this user earlier and shares a link to 15:39, 30 July 2022. "Nearly" is the key word. From 30 July to 6 August six editors discussed on how to report the incident in Stara Krasnianka (where 60 elderly people had died) in a thread I opened at 20:30, 30 July 2022. Four editors agreed on a modified version in order to address MVBW's concerns as expressed when they first removed the section at 00:42, 30 July 2022. The new version was presented at 14:52, 3 August 2022 (UTC), no editor objected for three days and I then published a substantially new text following a discussion that had apparently delivered a consensus. Is this a "revert"?
 * The second diff is indeed a revert. In the edit summary I explain the process that led to the first diff.
 * The third and forth diffs should be seen as two consecutive edits. The reason why I used two edits instead of one is that I noticed that MVBW (and not Volunteer Marek, as I erroneously wrote in my edit summary) had removed some contents reported by Washington Post without accounting for them in the edit summary. Please note my edit summary: Why did you just remove User:Volunteer Marek contents supported by the WoPo that have been in this article since ever? And with a misleading edit summary? The edit with the misleading/incomplete edit summary is this one by MVBW: 23:53, 6 August 2022, where the removal of WaPo (which is not related to Stara Krasnianka) was not explained nor accounted for. Therefore the third and fourth diffs should be considered as one single revert of that "clumsy" removal by MVBW: distinguishing between two different texts (Stara Krasnianka and WaPo) instead of putting different things into one single "basket" is a good editorial practice.
 * One final note about "style", so to say, or perhaps Wikiquette. When in the recent past MVBW repeatedly violated the 3RR rule on that article, I wrote to them in their talk page and asked them to revert either in a polite and friendly way or in a harsher way . I did the same a few days ago with another user who is also involved in the dispute about Stara Krasnianka: 07:50, 30 July 2022. I see that MVBW behaves differently. Note, finally, that the "Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning" posted by MVBW was made by another editor, with regard to a different dispute, on 23 June 2022, and that the "Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page" posted by MVBW is to the discussion I opened on 30 July, which delivered an apparent consensus on 3 August and to which MVBW did not contribute from 3 August until yesterday.

 * First diff is clearly a revert (same title, same link, same text in 2 diffs provided: "On 7 March the Ukrainian armed forces reportedly occupied..." versus "On 7 March the Ukrainian armed forces reportedly occupied..."). No, two last diffs are non-sequential edits. Gitz6666 tells about his edit made per "an apparent consensus". No, there was no consensus. And no, I respect 3RR rule on this and other pages. My very best wishes (talk) 09:46, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * First diff is clearly a revert. No, we had a discussion after you had removed the text at the end of July; you gave your arguments, four editors told you that they had different views, a mediation was proposed by a fellow editor, the proposed text was modified accordingly by adding a new sentence; you had three days for replying in the t/p, which you didn't. Publishing that text is not a "revert" of your removal, it is collaborative editing.
 * No, two last diffs are non-sequential edits You had removed two unrelated texts (Stara Krasnianka + WoPo on Ukrainian warfare) with the same edit without giving any reason and without mentioning it in the edit summary. Am I wrong? Conf. my edit at 23:39, 6 August 2022 (adding Stara Krasnianka after a broad discussion in the t/p) and MVBW's removal at 23:53, 6 August 2022 (removing Stara Krasnianka + WaPo). When I noticed this, I immediately restored WaPo at 00:42, 7 August 2022 and, after 46 minutes, I restored Stara Krasnianka 01:28, 7 August 2022. In the meantime I left a message on the talk explaining why I was restoring Stara Krasniaka for the second time, as Volunteer Marek's edit summary was clearly wrong: 01:24, 7 August 2022. Separating your and Volunteer Marek's all-encompassing removals (Stara Krasnianka + WaPo) into two distinct edits was the right thing to do and counts as one single revert - in fact, I reverted this edit 00:28, 7 August 2022. So yesterday I made two reverts overall, and you reported me without any 3RR warning. Gitz (talk) (contribs) 13:52, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * "without any 3RR warning" - are you saying you were not aware of 3RR rule? I already advised you what needs to be done here on article talk page, and it is not too late to follow this advice, i.e. self-revert. Arguing that revert was not a revert (when it was) is not really a good idea. My very best wishes (talk) 15:43, 7 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment: The 3RR warning linked isn't about this incident, but from the 23 of June. AdrianHObradors (talk) 11:57, 7 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment: I left a 3RR warning on Gitz6666's page here. Overall Gitz6666's behavior both on the article and on the talk page has been quite tendentious and disturbing. In addition to the incessant edit warring, there's a huge WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT problem where Gitz6666 just ignores other users' objections and proceeds to try and implement "their version" via reverting. Worse, in some cases to justify inclusion of disputed text they resort to misrepresenting and even outright ... telling untruth, about what's in sources. This talk page comment is an example - when asked for sources which would support the notion that Ukrainian forces have committed a war crime by stationing troops in a nursing home, Gitz6666 provides sources... which state that Russians have potentially committed a war crime by bombing the nursing home. But the way they present these sources (in this case WaPo and TheTimes) seems to purposefully obscure that fact and Gitz6666s comment suggests the OPPOSITE of what the sources say. Honestly, this has gone long enough. Topic ban time.  Volunteer Marek   18:13, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Result: [User:Gitz6666]] has been warned by User:Daniel Case. Struck out my prior comment in the light of Daniel's follow-up. EdJohnston (talk) 15:31, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * That was never intended to indicate that I warned him. VM did, as he said above. I do agree that something beyond the scope of this board must be discussed. Daniel Case (talk) 00:39, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * User:Daniel Case, sorry, my comment above was meant only to indicate that Gitz6666 has been given prior warnings for edit warring including in this instance. It was not meant as a resolution of this request.  Volunteer Marek   04:56, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I have undone the closure ... sorry about that. As for what I should be, I think, especially given your suggestion for a topic ban, see below.
 * It's beyond clear that Gitz's editing has much to be desired. But there are only two edits to the article in the last couple of days, both of which, yes, are reverts, but that's not a violation of policy. Given other evidence presented of user's tendentiousness, I strongly suggest this discussion be removed to AN/I where a discussion of more appropriate remedies, such as the topic ban mentioned, are more appropriate. Daniel Case (talk) 05:07, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't know if I'm allowed to reply to the closer's comment here - if not, please revert. I agree with the closer that the situation at War crimes in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine (and perhaps elsewhere in the EE area) requires community discussion and a thorough review by admins. I have tried to provoke such discussion and review by opening a discussion at AN/I about VM and by filing a complaint at AE against MVBW ; also MVBW recently filed a request at AE against me . Perhaps as a consequence of these disputes, a couple more experienced editors have joined the discussions on the talk page and have started editing there, and I hope that their contributions will help containing VM's and MVBW's POV-pushing. Their tendentiousness is both blatant (MVBW publishes racist slurs about slavish obedience and cruelty in his talk page) and relentless (both editors were involved in WP:EEML under the usernames "Radeksz" and "Biophys" respectively), but it can be appreciated only by someone who has some familiarity with the discussions going on "War crimes in Ukraine": in an area as controversial as that, well-intended but hasty judgments by uninformed editors could be damaging and should be avoided as far as possible. Gitz (talk) (contribs) 09:01, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * If I understand what happened, MVBW removed the(mistaken) 3RR warning, which VM left on my talk page a few minutes before MVBW filed this request . Does this make any sense? I don't understand that point of removing from my talk VM's warning. Gitz (talk) (contribs) 17:37, 8 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I think four diffs above represented very obvious reverts, but I am not going to bring any further complaints about Gitz6666 as someone too involved. If behavior by a user is clearly problematic, I believe the community can handle it. As a side note, Obedience (human behavior) and Cruelty are legitimate subjects for discussion and improvement on WP pages, and they are obviously related to human culture. My very best wishes (talk) 14:12, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * As a side note to your side note, I suggest you take a look at Cultural racism and at Racism. If someone here were to start speculating about "Mediterranean laziness and corruption" or about "Anglo-Saxon arrogance and pettiness", I doubt that would be conductive to collaborative editing. That is such stuff as wars are made on. Your anti-Russian sentiment is so strong that it should prevent you from editing in any area related to Russia, as you yourself once almost admitted .

User:Bythere reported by User:Quorra Rinzler (Result: Blocked 24 hours)
Page:

User being reported:

Bythere has several times reverted my version of the article on Environmental impact of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. This new text is based on a version that was published in ru-Wiki two weeks ago. As seen from its edit history, some typos were fixed and some stylistic corrections were made, but in general, there was no hard criticism. And that's in Ru-Wiki, where battles over war-related articles are the hottest! As most sources were in English, I've decided to make a translation for en-Wiki. Unfortunately, user Bythere considers this text to be of 'unacceptably poor' quality. His revisions were twice undone by, however, with no success. I do agree that I'm no native speaker and my grammar can be poor, but how can one deny the quality of official sources and respectable publications I've cited? Where's the bias he talks about? I'm in Wiki for more than 10 years and I know how to write, it's just I can't reveal my main account because the editors from Belarus and Russia are officially hunted by law enforcement since February 24. In the meantime, no contribution has been done by Bythere. That is why I ask my colleagues to help me with this issue. His repetitive revisions do not improve the quality of the article and in no way help to improve it. Thank you all in advance. --Quorra Rinzler (talk) 21:43, 8 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Report was malformed, but 3RR was clearly violated and user was warned. Daniel Case (talk) 23:04, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * , this was a case of forum shopping after I had declined an AIV report and warned everyone involved for edit warring. I'm dissatisfied to see that is now even, in bold formatting, using the block as an argument on the article's talk page. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:24, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I just gave context for all those who will join the discussion. Quorra Rinzler (talk) 17:27, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
 * , you have provided an irrelevant argument that has nothing to do with the article's content. Please remove it from your comment, just as I had removed unnecessarily personal content from the original message. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:30, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I've edited, but I still think you're being too soft on the "newbie" editor with this pattern of behavior as Bythere demonstrate. Quorra Rinzler (talk) 17:40, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Forum shopping or not (and yes, I see this happen here and at AIV too), there was a clear violation. 3RR IMO leaves less room for judgement calls. It needs to be seen as strictly enforced. Daniel Case (talk) 18:47, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

joined Wikipedia 2 weeks ago and has continuously tried to edit the opening sentence of the article Independent Online (South Africa) and has not responded to multiple attempts to discuss this on their talk page and on the article talk page.

The user has repeatedly stated their intention to continue edit warring, here, here and here. Happy ( Slap me ) 14:21, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Indef partial block from Kevin Knuth. Despite having less than 200 edits, this is not Cosmoid's first block for edit warring. A site-wide block may be necessary if they are not able to adapt and adhere to our policies and guidelines regarding content disputes and collaboration.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 16:28, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Ha ha ha! Firstly, I did not start the 'edit war' - in fact, if you bothered to review the logs, you'd see that I was the person repeatedly asking that this did not occur. The tag was repeatedly replaced after I had removed it, having stated explicitly why the tag was inaccurate and inappropriate. Yet there was no discussion before revert after revert (I was not even the first user to breach the 3 revert rule!).
 * Secondly, get your facts straight. I have not been blocked for 'edit warring'. I was blocked for an untrue accusation of 'meat puppetry' (I didn't even know what it was!).
 * Thirdly, the notability of the article was discussed on the AfD. It was not found that the article lacked notability - otherwise, it would have been deleted. To then tag my article regarding notability within days of the AfD discussion closing - despite there being no consensus that there is any notability issue - is quite clearly trolling. Hence, I removed the tag. I also demonstrated my willingness to compromise, by adding the Primary Sources tag back myself, absent the reference to 'notability'.
 * Yet, despite the evidence of what occurred here - including interaction by other users who appear obsessed with 'policing' any pages they deem as 'fringe' - I am the one who gets blocked? You refer to "collaboration"; where was collegial behaviour and collaborative mindset that sought to discuss any perceived notability issue on the article's talk page before plastering the tag on the article just days after the AfD discussion? Of course, there was none. It was, I believe, simply placed there to be provocative, since the article was not deleted as had been argued for. There has been collaborative 'pile-on' behaviour by those motivated to devote a quite bizarre level attention to this article. I wonder why ... oh so mysterious. A check of the some of the usernames involved and a studious review of their own edit history might prove enlightening.
 * In summary: The facts of what occurred here ever since I first published the article are clearly logged for all to see. However, it's obvious to me that a certain subset of Wikipedia editors are not interested in actually adhering in practice to the stated Wikipedia principles to which they pay lip service (and, of course, weaponise to further their own agendas).
 * I note the ban on this account is indefinite. Please don't bother lifting it. Apply the perma-ban hammer, I implore you. I'm done with Wikipedia. I've far better better things to do with my time than play these ridiculous games.
 * P.S.: As for your "site-wide block" ... you do realise how trivial it is to fire up a new account under fresh & totally unrelated residential IP, don't you? Luckily for you, I've neither the time nor the inclination to bother. Do your worst. Ta-ta. Cosmoid (talk) 21:45, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Because the content I removed as I said still IS in the page I made a small summary while keeping important information and as for result became easier to navigate (it was too long). The user started reverting my edits without explanation, even another editor restored my version and still got reverted. The user didn't respond to my message and the editor i mentioned sent a warning which both messages where removed by the user.
