Repeated reinsertion of information that several other editors either deemed improperly sourced or irrelevant to the article. Other (properly cited) content was removed in the process. - Cyrus XIII 19:02, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I took a very quick look at it and my thoughts are this: Issue at hand is the fact that while the English source does provide the band's name directly, the Sankei link (in Japanese) doesn't mention the group at all. Anyone else want to sort this out? - Penwhale &#124; Blast him / Follow his steps 19:58, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
 * That's right, the English source mentions the band, but only in connection with the fraudulent orders ("for producing promotional videos for such artists as "Dir en grey,""). Yet the IP based editor has repeatedly reinserted the information, that the fundings illegally obtained through these orders were particularly used to cover overhead costs of aforementioned band, which is inaccurate and thus unacceptable per WP:BLP. - Cyrus XIII 20:11, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

This user has also been edit warring elsewhere (before the warning) inserting the same information on other pages:      I would be less concerned if this was just an edit war, but it seems to be something more. Denaar 19:09, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

When it didn't, I tried to discuss it with him on his talk page and the article's talk page, but he is being unreasonable and is now accusing me of breaking the 3RR rule, which I didn't do (in fact he broke the 3RR rule before he even put the 3RR warning on my talk page).

The information I have added on the above article has been removed for no reason by the two stated editors. One of the editors, User:Ghirlandajo has been blocked before for inciting a 3RR edit war, which is what I believe he is trying to do now. And User:Dbachmann is not holding himself to the higher standards of an administrator, nor is he neautral, nor does he cite the reasons why he reverted Moosh88 21:58, 23 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I personally don't see any violation of 3RR on part of either User:Ghirlandajo or User:Dbachmann, however the actions of User:Moosh88 are clearly covered by this ruling of Requests for arbitration/Armenia-Azerbaijan 2: Within just the last couple of days Moosh88 was engaged in massive canvassing, edit warring across multiple pages and incivility.

I hope I did this right. This user is preventing any editing or discussion of the article. I placed a discussion and he deleted it. I requested citations, he removed them. He removed the neutral point of view tag I placed as well. While the 3 revisions didn't happen in 24 hours, he's been consistantly doing it, not only to me, but to anyone who tries to improve the article (which he originally wrote) I also see he's been reported for this before, in this very same article, and been banned for it.

There's even been an appeal on the NAACATS website to assist in removing allegedly biased information about the health hazards of smoking. Peter Isotalo 09:11, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Arcayne is involved in a long term content dispute with User:Operation Spooner on Ronald Reagan and has been harassing him on his user and talk pages with multiple reverts in Operation Spooner's user space. Arcayne insists he is removing personal attacks, but according to WP:NPA this does not appear to be the case. The content in question appears to be a personal essay by Operation Spooner concerning ownership issues/strategies that neither mentions user names or points fingers. I made an attempt to rewrite the User content to satisfy Arcayne's concerns, who is convinced that the essay is about him, but I was reverted. My compromise attempt consisted of removing ambiguous wording and helping the User focus on addressing his own personal experience with WP:OWN, which is what his user page appeared to suggest (Please see my efforts). Having direct experience with writing portions of WP:OWN some time ago, and focusing on specific aspects that User:Operation Spooner describes, this task greatly appealed to me. As his block log shows, Arcayne is very familiar with 3RR. &mdash;Viriditas | Talk 01:22, 25 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Actually, let's put this into its proper perspective. Operation Spooner has been adding personal attacks on his user page for over a month, and has been advised of the NPA violations they constitute. Instead of removing them as requested by no less than three admins, he has actually expanded upon these personal attacks. I was removing them, as these updates occurred every time his edits in the Ronald Reagan article occurred.
 * Now, Viriditas, who I have had extensive personal conflicts with over the past year, and who I have ried very much to avoid as one of those people who make Wikipedia suck to edit. Yesterday, he began revising my edits in WP:Lead, and then began attacking my edits in both SPAM and San Francisco burrito, using uncivil language and personal attacks. He then accused me of wikistalking and harrassment and being a bad editor, and apparently just raining on his parade or whatever.
 * Magically, he shows up in the OperationSpooner user page and begins reverting my edits, calling himself a "diosnterested" and "neutral" third party. Clearly, he is not - and I was pursuing filing an RfC in regards to his long-term abusive and threatening behavior, but I am currently at work, and filing such is a fairly slow matter.
 * I contend that removing personal attacks is not subject to 3RR, and that I clearly explained my removal of the sections in question in the edit summaries. I am allowed to protect myself from personal attacks. - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  01:34, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict) As well, i would note that I have revert my changes to Spooner's page (it took some time, as the database kept locking while the servers caught up), and wait for an admin to weigh in. This is to avoid appearing to edit war over what I still feel are personal attacks, and Viriditas' non-neutral wikistalking. I am too close to this to act neutrally myself, and am removing myself from the issue. Hopefully, an nautral admin will be better able to address the situation. As for Viriditas, I will address the wikistalking nad harrassm,ent through another noticeboard. - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  01:45, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Please show evidence of Spooner's personal attacks that you removed, with quotes. Also, please show how my revision of Spooner's admittedly bizarre essay consisted of "personal attacks".  These are Spooner's personal beliefs about his experience on Wikipedia, and you had no right to remove them. &mdash;Viriditas | Talk 01:41, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Forgive me, but I have nothing to say to you outside of an RfC, Viriditas. You are cynically using this matter to wikistalk. I could name 6 other editors and admins who have counseled you about your behavior, and every time you ignore them. You have more in common with Spooner than you know. - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  01:45, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for providing an example of your WP:NPA. Now, please show where Spooner has made them, particularly in my revision of his essay which focuses on ownership issues, not individual editors. &mdash;Viriditas | Talk 01:47, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Sigh, anyone taking a look at his user contributions would clearly be able to see that he would make an edit to the Ronald Reagan article, (usually get reverted) and then go about making a revision to his warnings for new users subject. As a great many were directed at me or User:Happyme22, I took them as personal attacks. At least three admins pointed out to him that these were personal attacks. Spooner promptly ignored them. Anyone looking at Viriditas' edit history will show that he showed up for the first time where I was editing to revet my edits after another clash on San Francisco burrito. - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  02:04, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm still not seeing the evidence of the personal attacks you claim to have reverted on Operation Spooner's user page. Can you please present them here?  All I see is someone involved in a content dispute harassing a user in their user space and hiding under the "NPA" policy to bully and intimidate another user.  Please present the personal attacks you claim Spooner made on his user page that forced you to violate the 3RR. &mdash;Viriditas | Talk 02:10, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I have just learned that WP:RPA as a valid method for defending against personal attacks was rejected a little over a week ago after lengthy discussion. Unfortunately, I am at work at this time and cannot put together the diffs that would clearly show the relationship between Spooner's edits being turned down in the Reagan article and his updating of his section on warnings for new editors. As well, had I the time, i would be able to deomonstrate the correlation between Viriditas' wiki-stalking and subsequent insertion into the Spooner issue and clearly demonstrate that Viriditas was not acting as a "neutral party" but was in fact engaged in a pattern of harrassment. I won't spend too much time on the latter here, as this isn't the place for it (RfO or RfC is a better venue, I think), instead providing the background to indicate that Viriditas is not acting neutrally here, and in fact is as guity of breaking 3RR as he accuses me of being:

- Arcayne   (cast a spell)  02:44, 25 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I am going to comment about the Ronald Reagan article, which has prompted all of this. The lead was in decent shape about two weeks before becoming a FA on August 25, until Spooner added a highly detailed outline of Reagan's economic policies. Eventually, he and I whittled it down to an extra sentence, something we were both okay with. After passing the FAC, Arcayne and a few others joined the "team" of editors, and one of Arcayne's first edits was redoing much of lead, which included generalizing even what Spooner and I worked out and adding some more about his presidency. Eventually, Spooner readded in that lot about his economic philosphy, so the editors (including User:Info999, User:Rise Above the Vile, User:Brian Pearson, User:Stanselmdoc, User:Paul.h, Arcayne, and myself) came to a concensus saying that the material Spooner wanted is true, but was too detailed for the lead section per WP:LEAD, which says the lead should provide a general overview of the subject and not focus too much on one topic. Well, to say it frankly, Spooner rejected the entire concept of concensus, saying his version should stay in because he and I agreed on it before (see Talk:Ronald Reagan). An admin tried to explain to him that concensus was always changing, but I don't know what came of that. Arcayne even took the liberty of adding it into the Governor section to try and solve this problem! Anyway, we eventually compromised with Spooner, but he apparently seems to be going against that compromise and changing it again. Arcayne and many other editors have asked him to please explain why his material should go in the lead on the talk page, but the conversation usually warps into how someone is personally attacking someone else, and the "your wrong, and I'm right!" crap. Anyway, I don't know of this helps, but here's the story. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Best, Happyme22 05:24, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

No warning given, but Bearcat is an admin and so should know better

A few days ago, in accordance with WP:BLP, I deleted unreferenced claims that Mercer is homosexual. Bearcat restored them once w/o a reference (outside the 3rr window), then again with a reference (1st revert, above), then reverted trimming of the material, and details of its wording. -- Lonewolf BC 06:28, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

The user has repetitively been inserting commentary into quoted text. I have tried to explain why this is problematic, and warned for 3RR. I am an admin, but because I was involved in the undoing, I am not going to use the tools myself to block, and would like an uninvolved admin to review the case. The last edit seems to be trying to accommodate my concerns, however all the user did was remove the quotes so it was no longer inserting the commentary into quoted text (however, removing the quotes is an issue in itself due to copyvio/plagiarism concerns, which is another issue entirely). Needless to say, the last diff still is inserting the same basic text.Andrew c [talk] 14:59, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Looks like User:Digwuren thinks he owns the article. He rejected any tag, and added references that don't cover the text they supposedly reference. I tried to put a version supported by sources (one of them being supported by Digwuren's proposed DYK) and to ask for further references to support Digwuren's claim, but I was reverted every time.Anonimu 19:48, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, clearly edit warring after repeated blocks. Blocked for two weeks. As Digwuren is involved in an Arbcom case, there may need to be some arrangement for him to be unblocked for participation in this. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 20:31, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm, weird. There are two reverts on two different edits. First is clear antivandalism as somebody is removing sources inappropriately. And adding CN's. Even though they are not actually not even needed there. I don't know about the second topic. I don't think it was good idea to block. But what do I know, I guess 2RR goes against vandalism aswell. I would personally have requested page protection myself, as some editors just have grudge about the editor and wanted to remove the GA status from the article by using random tagging and starting editwar. It's sad to see that Digwuren fell a victim of the provocations. Suva Чего? 20:48, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't see any vandal reverts here. Also, even with fewer than four reverts, I'd have probably blocked since the user should know by now not to edit war after the many blocks he's received. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 21:00, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * It's true that the first one is a bit questionable: while he removes the OR tag added by Irpen, he does also add a citation, so perhaps it's not best to count it as a revert. But this does not change the fact that he is edit warring. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 21:05, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * So was . His latest contributions to other related articles follow the same pattern. Also check his block log. That is the problem with those editors. They like plain template tagging to discredit articles (in this time to successfully remove the GA status) instead of trying to find consensus or actually add sources themself. Other article was editprotected until consensus is found. I think this kind of approach would have been better in this case aswell instead of doubtable one sided block. But as said before I am not the one to decide. Suva Чего? 21:26, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

A short explanation of the incident. Callmebc 21:30, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, I guess it depends on your viewpoint -- I'm either: 1) engaged in an edit war with a few anonymous IP addresses, possibly a sockpuppet or two, most especially a hothead at 74.77.222.18 who doesn't seem to think WP:BLP, WP:NPA WP:TPG and WP:CIV (for starters) have any bearing on Talk page "discussions"; 2) dealing with right wing vandals who don't want any updates made to certain articles near and dear to them; or 3) just having a lively Wiki discussion. Perhaps if I indicate what 74.77.222.18 keeps reverting, that might help:.

I edited the Coral Smith to remove the unsourced/POV stuff, improve the grammar, etc. Loansince reverted it, remarking in his Edit Summaries, "reverted unsourced info back to sourced information". (I added no unsourced info to the article.) When I tried to open a dialogue on his Talk Page, his only response was to blank his Talk Page, revert again, and remark in his Edit Summary, "find sources / this has been sourced". When I again tried to explain to him how things were done on WP, he reverted again with the Summary: "Nightscreem stop reverting. You find sources". When I tried again to speak with him, and repeatedly warned that he could be blocked for this behavior, he placed the following message on my Talk Page: "I'm writing this message here because it seems you have had a serious talking to by more users than just my self (up above) about adding unsourced contributions to wikipedia. The Coral Smith info you are adding into the article is unsourced and I have told you that repeatedly. Until you get sources for that info, stop adding it in and being so irritating." For the record, I have have been given no admonishments about unsourced info, nor has he told me this "repeatedly", nor have I been "irritating", or anything other than polite to him. Reading his Talk Page (or its history) will not only verify this, but will show other instances of his deliberately ignoring WP rules and consensus. Nightscream 09:20, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

 * If I may make an observation, I believe that much of this conflict would have been avoided had it not been for the abuse and misuse of various tags. Case in point, GreenJoe applied the edit war warning he cited above, despite the fact that Sunray had only reverted the removal of the Fraternities and Sororities section once - and had in fact made no edits at all in the preceeding 41 hours. One minute after placing the warning, GreenJoe deleted the section. Clearly, the warning did not apply. Sunray removed the warning from his talk page and restored the Fraternities and Sororities section. At this point, GreenJoe not only returned the edit war warning, but added a 3RR warning and a welcome/bad practices warning. Why this was done is a bit of a mystery. After all, as he had only just made his first revert in over 41 hours, Sunray was in no danger of violating 3RR. (I won't bother drawing a conclusion as to why one would place a welcome/bad practices warning on the talk page of someone who has been contributong to Wikipedia since 2003.) While I could go on (and will, if anyone believes it necessary), I think I have made my point. Now, in the interest of openness, I should add that within minutes of my first and only edit to the section, I too received an edit war warning from GreenJoe. In this respect, my experience is not dissimilar from that of NeilN. Victoriagirl 07:10, 27 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Users editing content in their own user space is a specific exception from the three revert rule. Removing warnings is controversial and not to be undertaken lightly, and edit warring about them is disruptive and somewhat pointless. However, as Sunray seems to have accepted that he will walk away from the dispute and not revert, I have given him a warning. Sam Blacketer 10:51, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

A short explanation of the incident. Callmebc 05:43, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but this so convoluted that I don't know if I can make it that short...but: User:SEWilco had added a new sub-section called "Mother's Day" involving an anecdote by an old friend of Bush, William Campenni, that appeared in some unknown form (there is no easy way to access the article -- the link SEWilco keeps using is broken) in the Washington Times, a conservative (well, actually right wing) newspaper a couple of years ago. Basically Campenni claims that one of the Killian memos in which Killian is ordering Bush to report to a physical has to be forged because, to quote Campenni, For the weekend that 1st Lt. Bush was supposedly ordered to report for his physical, May 13-14, 1972, the Ellington Air Guard Base was closed.. The problem is that the memo in question doesn't say that. It's dated May 4th and the exact quote is: "You are ordered to report to commander, 111 F.L.S, Ellington AFB, not later than (NLT) 14 May, 1972 to conduct annual physical examination." Also Campenni's claim that the base would be shut down that entire weekend, because of Mother's Day, appears to be unsupported by any other source.

So while Campenni claims that Bush was ordered to report on the weekend of the 13-14, the memo clearly says by the 14th, which was Bush's last day on base (according DoD records). A not so slight difference. But then SEWilco posts the assertion by referencing the Washington Times piece but actually using the wording from the memo -- which is fabrication, I do believe. SEWilco also adds that even if the memo was dated May 4th (a Thursday that year), it would not reach Bush by mail before the weekend -- which is not only wild speculation but is utterly nonsensical: bases have their own mail room, so the memo would just be put into Bush's mail box. Lastly SEWilco also adds that the address on the memo is wrong without providing a reference for that, and some Google searching indicates that the address is correct -- it's Bush's parents, and it shows up also in official records. See the talk discussion here.

I keep pointing these things out and removing the add, but SEWilco simply says that it's "verifiable" and then puts it back. So...


 * This may be a slow-burning revert war but one revert a day is really not close enough to 'gaming the system' on four reverts in a 24-hour period. This is no violation. The subject of the dispute isn't relevant here (don't continue the dispute on this page) but I advise you to check the source supplied and compare it with the paragraph as written so that you can come to a compromise. Sam Blacketer 10:57, 27 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, I had been blocked over another 3RR revert issue with another Killian wiki troublemaker, so I'm leery of reverting things too many times in a short period. If you check the Talk page thread, it's pretty clear that things have become circular -- the only available sources even dicussing the Washington Times piece only quote sections of it, but those sections don't match up with what SEWilco is claiming. It looks like pretty cut and dry fabrication to me. I'll revert, but he'll just put it back with the same "verifiable" recant wth the same broken link, despite my asking him over and over to supply that  "verifable" evidence. The is nothing to compromise about, since he's just maliciously inserting some stuff that has no backing whatsoever and is making no attempt to be reasonable via Wiki guidelines. So I guess I'll end up here again shortly.... -BC aka Callmebc 14:48, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Jcmenal added an additional level of regions (subregions) to what should be a simple regional template -- without discussing proposed changes first/at all and labelling changes as 'cleanup'. In the span of minutes, Jcmenal reverted my restorations of the simpler, alphabetised template. Each of his reverts supports a point-of-view regarding the classification of territories in this region or, more appropriate, the inclusion of Mexico in 'North America' alone (i.e., to the exclusion of other schemes). These issues have recurred elsewhere as well. User has been warned, and user hypocritically did the same. Corticopia 16:50, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

 * 'Comment' The report and diffs are self-evident, and I stand by it. Jcmenal simplistically 'warned' me after I did the same -- in an event, he not once discussed his edits throughout on the talk page.  I boldly created the template scant days ago.  As well, the commentator has also been blocked repeatedly, is currently on 1RR parole, and is one of a cohort of Mexican editors (in addition to the violator and Supaman89, who retaliated below, who has also been blocked and edits anonymously) who continually partake in boosterism and pernicious POV editing on Mexican-related articles or, similarly, by insinuating deprecating edits onto articles of 'competitor' countries (e.g., Brazil).

 * Comment: Corticopia keep your insults to yourself. My edits has no conflict with the current definition of Middle America (accepted even by Corticopia), in my last edit I changed Mexico's region and let it blank to avoid any problem. The Template's creator is not the Template's owner as Corticopia is trying to claim, Middle America comprises 3 regions (Mexico, Central America, West Indies) and Corticopia just would accept Contiental and West Indies in a try to include Mexico in Central America (which is a definition conflict). Corticopia reverted my edits 3 times as well. JC 01:32, 28 September 2007 (PST)

This is a content dispute. Komusou appears to object to calling Wodehouse English although Wodehouse himself did, and insists on reverting to the clumsy "British writer of English origin". If there were a dispute whether Wodehouse were in some sense, say, Welsh, this would be a different matter.

Several editors have objected to this on the talk page, especially here; I have tried different texts. Both of us have edited the article at other points, but Komusou has exactly reverted four times at the point at issue. Please note that, although I have edited the passage four times myself, the first was not a revert, but an independent effort to clean up execrable English, and the third was intentionally a new idea, taken from the Britannica, in the hope it might assuage Komusou's eccentric concerns.

 * Contestation and 3RR from Pmanderson

I claim that Pmanderson did the 3RR he accuses me of. Here, a dual timeline will give a better picture than his truncated one-sided view. I have noted "E" his edits towards the controversial version (article saying only "was an English writer") and "C" my edits towards the compromise version (article saying "was a British writer from England").

Last versions of the competing older revisions:


 * E - 18:24, 9 September 2007 - the controversial revision Pmanderson will revert to
 * C - 22:35, 9 September 2007 - the compromise revision I will restore to

Events (UTC):


 * E - 22:58, 26 September 2007 - Pmanderson 1st revert to older version
 * C - 06:47, 27 September 2007 - my 1st restoration, citing talk page discussion
 * E - 17:20, 27 September 2007 - Pmanderson 2nd revert
 * C - 17:54, 27 September 2007 - my 2nd restoration, citing new talk page answer
 * E - 18:17, 27 September 2007 - Pmanderson 3rd revert
 * C - 18:38, 27 September 2007 - my 3rd restoration, informing that a WP:DR is pending
 * E - 19:30, 27 September 2007 - Pmanderson 4th revert
 * C - 19:58, 27 September 2007 - my 4th restoration (after considering both that he violated 3RR and that his removing a basic piece of sourced information from a compromise version was closer to vandalism than regular content dispute)
 * x - 20:26, 27 September 2007 - Pmanderson on talk page, gloating about 3RR

My claim summary: Pmanderson is the original 3RR violator, his first edit that day was a revert to an older version (reverting from a compromise version to a controversial one), thus he initiated the 3RR count on his first edit. I am basing myself on Revert stating that "in the context of the English Wikipedia three revert rule, a revert is defined far more broadly as any change to an article that partially or completely goes back to any older version of an article." (Note: I was of course aware that Pmanderson had 3RR'ed but I dislike using 3RR as a tool for entrapping others or silencing opposition. Of course, Pmanderson avoided to notify me of his 3RR report. Since he is in the habit of trying to deflect blame by preventively accusing others of his faults, I am unsurprised by his deceptive report.)

Additional 3RR-related comments:

IMO, if the revert count isn't performed like this, but as Pmanderson would like it, then a warrior would always either get his way or force his opponent into 3RR, because the attacker would have his count always one point less than the article's defender. Counting so would actually *favor* edit wars rather than prevent them, because a premium would be given to any attacker for going against the status quo. (That may also be why Pmanderson gleefully attacked in this manner without actual discussion on the talk page, he hoped to mechanically come on top of a 3RR without having his first revert be noticed.)

I may also be blamable for my 4th restoration, so I want to explain:

His reverts aren't about a convoluted dispute, but a clear cut case of sourced content removal. His reverts are identical to someone who would repeatedly go and replace a lead "Joe is a Canadian writer from Quebec" with just "Joe is a Quebec writer" by deleting mention of the sovereign nation. Such as special case may not be "simple vandalism", but I think he is knowingly removing a basic and central information for a biography, the official nationality (British passport, there is no English passport just like there is no Quebec passport). It is thus both ethnic POV-pushing and a deliberate attempt at removing information and lowering the content of the lead section, thus closer to vandalism than to disputed encyclopedic edits.

This is not a case of my reverting between "B" for me and "E" for him (that would be regular content dispute). It is about my restoring "B and E" (complete and encyclopedic, superset of his version, compromise) against his just "E" (deletion of the official nationality, subset of my version, no compromise).

I would also point out his non-debate behavior: after he reverted to a controversial version, and I restored the compromise version while sending him to the talk page, he should have left the compromise version in place and focussed on the talk page debate. Instead, he never try to address or rebuke any point of the debate, simply dropping on the talk page a short note to the effect of "he is English because he is English" then going back to revert.

And since it's a vital criterion for "vandalism", I contend that his edits summaries show clear cut bad faith. For instance, his stating that the neutral and precise compromise "British writer from England" is "neither neutral nor precise" and replacing it with just "England" which is a subset neither neutral nor precise, shows him using the tactic of deliberately accusing the other party of precisely what he's doing at the same time. Hard for me to take this double-talk, and the rest, as anything else than clear bad faith.

I thought those points could be taken into consideration, maybe in a manner of considering that each of my reverts doesn't necessarily count for "1 full revert" but maybe "0.5 revert" (figuratively), for such a case that's not about delicate disputed points but restoring the very basic information of nationality that an encyclopedia should provide.

Conclusion:

My belief at this point is that either both of us should be considered 3RR (if each one of my reverts is counted for "1", then we both 3RR'ed, him first), or only him (if my revert count gets some relativization) – but not just me, since he initiated the 3RR. (Thank you for going through this, I realize it's rather lame and boring, but I believe that if we don't defend the basics such as official nationality, we're going nowhere.)

Corticopia has been edit warring and violating 3RR several times in the past as you can check here. He is a very uncivil user and uses bad words and profanity and personal attacks even on edit summaries and he has been blocked for that.

The 3RR policy says that constant edit warring and 3RR violations must be punished accordingly to the amount of times it has been repeated and this would be his 9th 3RR violation. He has been blocked for 1 month in the past. Much of his violations has not been reported because I guess the new users that he edit wars with don't know about this policy.

Notice was made of 3RR policy on Talk page after the first six reverts. User has posted to Talk page (from 72.75.46.82). Abd 06:21, 28 September 2007 (UTC)


 * These all appear to be good faith edits, I don't see anything that resembles edit warring. Once again, I urge you to assume good faith on the part of this user and to engage to find consensus. Also, please see the format of other successful reports on this page, it will make it much easier for the investigating admin in the future. In particular, list the specific diffs and the times they were made. Ronnotel 13:03, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

This report is misguided for two reasons..


 * The page is now protected, pending discussion and compromise (which I've been pleading for from the beginning, even on his talk page).


 * He's guilty of the same thing.



^Removal of entire section..

^^ 

^^These two are back to back (probably can count as one), reverting material that was removed..

  

2 of the last 3 concern the revisions that he's reporting on, and the last one is a removal of cited material that was restored only hours prior. All with in the past 24. I left him a message on his talk page, giving him the benefit of the doubt and pleading for discussion and compromise and he seemed hip to that actually.

With the protection, I feel that it will give us time to discuss any disputes and gain a bit of common ground, in the absence of edit warring or content disputes.Taharqa 20:06, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The page has been protected by . Also, I don't believe Taharqa violated 3RR. The first edit, to my knowledge, was not a revert. Nishkid64 (talk) 22:42, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
 * That's incorrect, The first revert was this one which was in response to information added by User:SenseOnes. This is clearly a violation of 3RR.  Wikidudeman  (talk) 22:59, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
 * My mistake. I should have looked at the size of text for each edit. It was clearly 4 reverts, but protection has done its job. No need for a 3RR block. Nishkid64 (talk) 23:05, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

I would disagree, I left a note on your talk page.  Wikidudeman  (talk) 23:12, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
 * After looking at the history page, it appears that Taharqa made a straightforward WP:3RR violation, protecting the page is actually indirectly punishing Wikidudeman and the others editing that page for another editor's mistake. Anynobody 01:41, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * It's a content dispute, not a mistake. Nishkid64 (talk) 01:47, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Right, a content dispute that resulted in a violation of the 3RR. I doubt Taharqa meant to violate it, so I'd call it a mistake. When an article says something we as editors don't like but two or more other editors support with references, we're not supposed to keep reverting. Anynobody 03:21, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

By my count only one editor has violated 3RR, so the editors are unable to edit the article in question as a result of one person's mistake... 1 (It is a revert, the info was added earlier by another editor. so it was a reversion)

Wikidudeman Corrected 1

2 Wikidudeman Corrected 2

3 Another editor corrected 3

This user, despite the fact that he has already been blocked three times for edit warring, continues to revert the Hotaki dynasty article to a version based on a work of fiction.

Here are some examples of his earlier reverts. I have not included all reverts, but you can check the the article history, the revert war goes back all the way through the month of july.

There has been an RFC for this article. All those involved agreed that Anoshirawan's version was wrong, and that his arguments were unconvincing, and yet he continues to revert the article mindlessly. This is the worst edit war I've ever seen and it's time someone put a stop to it.

He has also been revert warring on the Cuisine of Afghanistan article. Here are the reverts: This time, in his haste to erase the word "Afghan", he has been reverting to a version where large portions of content have been deleted, thus badly disrupting the article.

 * Strange, I thought this rule existed to prevent edit warring. I must have misread the part that says "Editors may still be blocked even if they have not made more than three reverts in any given 24 hour period, if their behavior is clearly disruptive". I don't know what you mean by "very confused", I've clearly exposed two separate edit wars, OK there are no time stamps, but you can check the times from each link. I was'nt suggesting you resolve any dispute, just put an end to the edit warring. But if you consider that 3-month long edit wars are OK, and you are content to let trolls screw up wikipedia, then that's your responsability.Raoulduke47 21:47, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

This is a repeat occurance of a prveious incident.

Recently Sdsds commented on the page asking for sources to assert notability, though this has been more or less ignored by Commator. Rainwarrior 18:50, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

A short explanation of the incident. Kilz 20:20, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

A discussion of this ciritism was conducted on the talk page of OOXML User HAl was against the inclusion of referenced information. I added the information. User HAl added a biased edit.his was used as the base article link. I edited the section to restore NPOV, adding more information from the reference. User HAl removed the referenced information below line 494(first revert in part) I explained the claim was referenced and replaced the blanking of it. User Hal removed the claim again I replaced and gave warning of 3rr. User Hal then made a 3rd revert of the edit in part below section line 494  User Hal's talk page has sections from other editors about reverting. Hal later reverted another editor within the 24 hour time for his 5th revert. Hals contributions should also be looked at. As a majority of them are removing anything he considers negative from the Office_Open_XML page. His bias editing is hurting WP:NPOV of the article as he will remove anything that he considers negative. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kilz (talk • contribs) 19:36, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

RESPONSE BY EDITORESQUIRE:

The user, and others, is part of a cadre of people (perhaps even the same person under different user names) trying to use the Loyola Law School wiki page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyola_Law_School) to denigrate the school -- founded on the same biased motives that wiki editors rejected.

This dispute has been months in the making, dating from at least June 2006, when editors sought to include biased and non-encyclopedic references to "Loyola 2L" in the Loyola Law School wiki page. I submitted a request for third party review, all of which is in the Discussion page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Loyola_Law_School).

Loyola 2L references were found in violation of wiki standards for several reasons, all of which are detailed in my description and wiki editor comments in the Discussion page.

Now, people who apparently went to a competiting law school and are seeking to denigrate Loyola to bolster their own alma matter, are trying to re-insert the same line of discussion in the Loyola Law School wiki page. This time, it is the school's dean, being mischaracterized and quoted out of context for a subjective purpose (like in a legal brief), commenting on the Loyola 2L dispute which wiki already determined was in violation of its rules.

This reference has no place on wiki. It is not encyclopedic, not informative, out of context, cannot be presented subjectively, is the dean reacting to the attacks that wiki editors ruled were prohibited by wiki standards in the first place, and is clearly inserted for the purpose of denigrating the school.

Brickexistab's reporting of me is intended to stop me from policing the wiki page from his/her subjective and violative content.

And contrary to his/her assertion, which is out of context, I attempted to amicably resolve this with him/her by compromising on the content - which is clearly stated in the history page (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Loyola_Law_School&action=history). I stated: "the moment in the interest of resolving this edit war -- The reference to the dean is biased and I deleted. I kept the comparative statistics, but will agree to disagre for the moment" (from 18:11, 1 October 2007).

I should add that this is one of a number of attacks by users with a motive to hurt the school, by using the wiki page as airspace. For instance, in the discusion page, there is a dispute raised by a user Coolcaesar that the school is not "in" downtown. That dispute was really petty, and I suggested he/she write "near" or "adjacent to" downtown if he/she really believed it was an issue. The user never did that, but did chastize me for not looking at his/her user page which showed that he/she was a graduate of a law school with a higher bar pass rate than Loyola Law School.

I implore the wiki administrators community for help and guidance.

Thank you. EditorEsquire.

The 1st one he has was not a revert it was an edit as clearly seen if you examine what was done, Regimund had changed links to references and and what I did was clean up some of the wording, It clearly has nothing to do with the 3 reverts after it. Also he had included "who founded Playboy, continues to oversee Playboy Magazine as Editor-In-Chief." And as you can clearly see it was in was already in the same paragraph right above it. So I deleted that statement. So I did not make 4 reverts on the same material. Also to my knowledge there is NO LIMIT on editsRogue Gremlin 20:52, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Has violated 3rr before on this article but I just warned him and didn't report in hopes of extending good faith and trying to engage editor in productive editing.

 * Comment - I'm not sure I understand how the fourth is a revert; in fact, it is no kind of revert. In this edit, I simply added four words so that the sentence's meaning was completely clear. In the second and third, I reverted the addition of a contraction (unencyclopedic). I had to do this twice because, even though I explained my reason for removing the contraction in my first edit summary, the editor added the same contraction a second time, in effect reverting his/her own edit. In the first I broke a run-on, ungrammatical sentence into two. There were no motives on my part other than ensuring that the article's text was entirely grammatical. Badagnani 04:50, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Other editors and I created a WP:LEAD section using WP:RS citations and quotes from references which reflect the sources in a NPOV way but not according to what Shutterbug believes. Through outright reverts and minor POV enhancements Shutterbug is making the article more pleasing to her POV. This is apparent in revert number 3, which was an odd occurence where the citation ended up contradicting the text after Shutterbug's edit. I added ref name="77biop3" as a citation saying the subject made a claim to have knowledge of nuclear physics, Shutterbug removed the text that this applied to ...or explain why past biographies cite knowledge of nuclear physics. Thus making it sound like the subject never made such claims, despite the fact that the citation refers to ...his understanding of nuclear physics. Anynobody 07:47, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Per the Article probation which the ArbCom has recently put scientology-related articles on, I have pagebanned User:Shutterbug for 30 days from these articles, including L. Ron Hubbard. See notification of and reasons for the ban here. This 3RR report is thereby moot, and no longer of interest. Bishonen | talk 11:27, 2 October 2007 (UTC).


 * I follow your logic, though I don't understand the ban for the talk pages. The whole idea of this 30-days ban was to get me to get agreement on talk pages before changing things in articles or meddling around with anti-Scientology editors. You shut that off now and made the whole thing a pure punishment drive. Shutterbug 16:42, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * If I'd seen any attempts by you to "get agreement on talk pages" I wouldn't have banned you from them. You were a merely disruptive and provocative presence there, that's why you were banned from them. That said, I've infomed you a couple of times already that I'm not sure I'm supposed to ban you from talkpages and would like input from an arb. They haven't responded, so why don't you ask one of them yourself? I don't know exactly what you mean by "meddling around with anti-Scientology editors", but I trust it doesn't mean trolling or harassing them. Bishonen | talk 19:37, 3 October 2007 (UTC).
 * I am on WP since a while and yes, I have used the talk page more often than not to get agreement or input. Depends how thorough you look in my contribs. I missed you informing me about the talk page thing. It's the first time you talk to me about that. "Meddling" does not mean harassment or trolling, it is what happens if no Admin checks the contribs of Scientology article "contributors" against basic Wikipedia policy, lets NPOV/RS/V vios pass by and then wonders about quarrels. It's what's happening when guidelines about encyclopedic articles do not mean anything in reality and are not enforced. Shutterbug 00:07, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

When you break the rule you get suspended, I'm no suspect and all material I add to the page is cited with references. Everytime something is added, users Skybunny, Snowfire51, and Gonzo fan2007 revert it and call it sockpuppets of some starwars1955, well that's been well over a year ago and all the new users updating are being penned as this starwars1955, so knowone can add to the page, it's a lnchmob and against wikipedia policy, I'm no starwars1955 or a sockpuppet of any kind. When wikipedia was created it was to be a online public encyclopedia, now this page is being taken over by a few users, this is against wikipedia policy and action should taken against them, look at my edits to the Brett Favre page, they are legitimate, and they keep reverting back to incorrect number stats, so they can never be corrected because of a past user from over a year ago, Brett Favre's stats have to be incorrect forever, because they are not looking at my edits and deciding whether they should be there and correcting them themselves, they are reverting to incorrect material, it's redicioulous, you don't own wikipedia, it's a public encyclopedia and I have cits and refs and just because your not getting your way, you have no right to revert and break the 3RR and pen people as socks. Maybe the person you keep blocking is a simple person that has tried to edit here on Brett Favre amd you people keep blocking them so they keep going to the Brett Favre page, because it's unfair, I'm no starwars1955, and this is not right and something needs to be done about this, you don't own wikipedia, Thanks, --4 Brett Favre 04:11, 3 October 2007 (UTC)Brandi Gibson4 Brett Favre 04:11, 3 October 2007 (UTC)--

 * Since I was mentioned above I felt compelled to comment. One interesting fact that I would like to point out is that User:Brandi Gibson stated that I have reverted her edit, although the only edits I have reverted were from other suspected socks.  This is proof that we are dealing with the same person, just with different accounts.  I admit that every time a new editor edits Brett Favre, which means someone without any prior edits, I get suspicious, but User:Starwars1955 does not make it difficult.  It is amazing to me because I distinctly remember when I first started editing on Wikipedia, I had no clue what I was doing.  These new "users" that are supposedly different people completely understand Wiki formating, Wiki policy, and how to edit all sorts of pages.  I know that when I first came here to Wikipedia I had no clue what the 3RR was, let alone how and where to report one.  User:Brandon Gibson's first edit, outside of the creation and editing of their own page was to report the 3RR, see here.  This, along with the style, approach (always editing Brett Favre), arguments (always arguing about stats), and the way the person talks all show that this is in fact User:Starwars1955.  I will continue to revert and tag any possible sockpuppets of this banned user.  I also support User:Skybunny and any other user that reverts this vandalism.   Thanks and feel free to contact me with any questions. Gonzo fan2007  talk ♦ contribs 05:45, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm not a sock, the three users are taking control of the Brett Favre page, and it's a shame, but why doesn't Gonzo fan2007 take his efforts to correct the many mistakes that I fixed in the page with my last edits, because he doesn't care about it or the page, isn't it funny that none of them are doing that, I'm not a sock and they are making a big mistake, but whatever, he just created a good users page with all the users that are lynch mobbing the Brett Favre page, but they are getting away with it and the page is laughable, I supprised that a few non administartors are getting away with this and the continuous errors remain on the page, I'm not starwars1955, but starwars1955 created the playoff stats and added 13 of the records and milestones that are on the page, we have just updated them after every game, but he created them, what are you going to do, go back and delete all them cause he added them a year ago, no you can't revert those, to late, but I spent all day going back and he created them, but I'm not starwars1955 and have nothing to do with it, I'm just trying to correct the mistakes on the page, but you keep reverting them King Bee, Gonzo fan2007, Skybunny and Snowfire51, good job, the errors on the page really look educated, why don't you go to my last edit, see my changes and fix them yourself, or can Brett's correct number and stats never go on the page cause I put them there first and I'm not even starwars1955, this is so immature, but in the meantime, Skybunny broke the 3RR, Thanks, --4 Brett Favre 06:11, 3 October 2007 (UTC)4 Brett Favre4 Brett Favre 06:11, 3 October 2007 (UTC)--

Comment: sennen has been participating in this article for the sole purpose of making anti-Korean edits in the controversial "Dog meat" section. Has never contributed to this article before but has engaged in POV edits tweaking words here and there and reverting to force his edits. Editors on different sides have disagreed editing this section a plenty, but this editor's reverts are disruptive and unproductive. Please help.melonbarmonster 05:51, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I have tried to make edits that are constructive, while I agree that there has been a heated discussion by many editors, when I have seen a looming edit war, I have attempted to keep my edits constructive, and instead of reverting the previous edit, I have tried to make an edit that concentrates on another aspect of the topic. Just because I made a few edits, does not = 3RR - the edits were not reverts, they changed many aspects of the article, NPOV/POV, wording, grammar, etc. I have tried to discuss these points when I saw an disagreement, but the person in question does not seem to respond.Sennen goroshi 06:14, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

This seems rather petty for me to mention - however the editor reporting me has the habit of taking his reverts up to the limit of 3 on every edit, which might be within the rules of wikpedia, but not in the spirit of wikipedia. POT/KETTLE/BLACKSennen goroshi 06:17, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Comment:I coudn't agree more with Melonbarmonster. Sennen goroshi has not produced any constructive contribution on Korean-related article with his/her own intention. There are numberless trouble cause by the user. He or she has an obssession to degrade Korea with POV language including racil slurs all the times. --Appletrees 11:29, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Your comments are not unexpected, considering that you are two editors who seem to disagree with my edits, and dislike me taking issue with your pro-Korean/anti-Japanese edits. I have no issue with people disagreeing with my edits, but to use a 3RR complaint as a tool in a debate is a wastes the time of me/you/anyone who reads this. Your POV is just as strong and blatant as anyone else's your edits are just as provocative and disruptive and your nationalistic pride is glaringly obvious.

My edits were in my opinion designed to balance the articles, taking them to a neutral point, from their current highly pro-Korean POV, since I have started to edit Korean based articles, I have experienced nothing but people taking their 3 reverts in 24hrs, people team reverting, etc.

If I get banned for a while, it wont be the end of the world, but it wont solve anything - there will still be a world of disruption in these articles, and one editor who wishes to use the word "eaten" instead of "tried" being banned isnt going to solve a thing. If you want to remove the disruption you should look a little closer to home, there is a lack of compromise and totally stubborn attitude displayed by some editors that is the cause of the disruption, the lack of respect by pro-Korean editors who refuse to accept anything that does not portray Korea in exactly the light that they require, has more to do with the disruption than anything else.

I actually have nothing against Koreans or Korea, I am just unwilling to accept to constant POV regarding Korea, neither am I willing to accept the double standards with Japanese/Korean articles, if someone says anything negative on a Korean article - they are assumed to be a Korea-hating racist, but if someone removes a negative comment (such as Japanese murderers or Japanese facist) they are also deemed to be supporting every single war crime committed by Japan.

Ban me or don't - it won't make any difference to the constant disruption and bickering in these articles, if you want to remove the disruption everyone has to compromise and understand the opinions of others, or leave the editing to someone without any interests/bias/agenda relating to Korea/Japan.Sennen goroshi 14:18, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

so well done melon, you managed to make 3 reverts on 3 different articles within 24 hours - are you trying to play the system and get as close to breaking the 3RR as possible?

now lets take it back a little further


 * 04:01, 2 October 2007 (hist) (diff) Korean cuisine‎ (Redudant. There's no need to state the obvious)
 * 03:59, 2 October 2007 (hist) (diff) Korean cuisine‎ (→Consumption of dog meat)

 * 17:42, 1 October 2007 (hist) (diff) Korean cuisine‎ (that is not what the refernece states. LOL. the government survey gives breakdown of consumption frequency which clearly contradicts such a claim.)
 * 17:25, 1 October 2007 (hist) (diff) Korean cuisine‎ (Redundant.)

you were a little careless that time and made 5 in 24hours. I have no issue with that, I didn't even consider making a report, I would rather discuss that reporting.


 * 17:22, 27 September 2007 (hist) (diff) Japanese Sea Lion‎ (Combined references and text as well as deleting fraudulent claims. more on talk page.)

 * 17:08, 27 September 2007 (hist) (diff) Japanese Sea Lion‎ (LOL. I think Japanese archipelago and Korean peninsula already covers specific islands.)

that time was only 4 within 24hr.

I see no need for anyone to be banned, I certainly dont think my actions warranted a ban, and to be honest I would rather discuss things with Melon, than see him banned either - unless its a lifetime ban, with full IP banning as well, the problem is only going to rear its head again and again - but then again if I get banned, I think there are other candidates for a quick 'time out'Sennen goroshi 14:42, 3 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh, here is another blatant lie and absurd excuse of Sennen goroshi. There are not just two editors against your POV and anti-Korea edits. Did you already forget your bashes over me, Ledtim and many other editors contributing to Korean cuisine and culture, history? I've been watching your disruptive actions which cause numberless troubles and conflicts along with your highly offensive insults against Korean or Pro-Korean editors. Death curse and racial slurs are your representative specialty to attack your opponents. None believes you don't have an anti-Korean sentiment of hatred.


 * Moreover, Japanese facists and war criminals are not judged under the same evaluation as Korean independent activists whom you intentionally categorized as Korean terrorists, so people with common senses have removed the false accusations made by Sennen goroshi and input constructive contents. There are a lot of evidences that Sennen goroshi doesn't have any intention to balance between the Korean-related articles. I was so surprised to see your irrational contributions to which you implied the Korean director, Kim, Ki-duck as an animal abuser and referred comfort women as "chon prostitutes", Korean eating dog meat as Korean eating "cute puppy fresh" and minimized the assassination of Empress Myeongseong committed by the Japanese murderers and etc. Sennen goroshi denounces that I have anti-Japanese sentiment, but to be clear, I have just feeling against valdalists like Sennen goroshi. When the user doesn't get any supportive response from other editors, Sennen goroshi is simply using abusive languages. I request a wise and fair judge of sysops. --Appletrees 16:38, 3 October 2007 (UTC)


 * As anyone can see, I am having to deal with balanced, unbiased people, who are well aware of NPOV, never make comments based on personal feelings and would never make an edit, a revert or a 3RR complaint out of malice. (sarcasm ends here)  and regarding the Death Curse - I'm speechless.Sennen goroshi 17:20, 3 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Speechless? You do owe me an apology regarding your abusive insults. You are the very biased person with not knowing NPOV. You've always make comments based on your personal feelings and make edit as you please. You seem to forget already what you bashed out, so I'll paste the your curse here.


 * I wonder how people with limited skills manage to perform simple tasks such as waking up in the morning and remembering not to stop breathing


 * See? Don't excuse yourself anymore. --Appletrees 17:27, 3 October 2007 (UTC)


 * shall we take this discussion to a talk page? I don't really think this is the place, feel free to make any accusations you feel are needed, but I will not respond to any more of your comments on the 3RR section - out of respect for the people who have to trawl through this, and try to make sense of it all.Sennen goroshi 17:31, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Abd has accused me (while I was editing from my IP address) of POV-pushing for the Center for Voting and Democracy, with which I have only had a passing acquaintance several years ago. I was concerned about my IP address being associated with his accusations, and so I created this account. After I warned him that he violated 3RR, Abd accused me of being a sockpuppet, just as he has accused at least two other users and IPs. Beyond the accusations, Abd insists on his version against consensus. Abd is apparently an advocate of Approval voting, a competing method. He insists that the description of the new Robert's Rules of Order which recommends IRV in some circumstances be phrased in such a way as to downplay it, and removed from the lead where it has been for months at least. He also insists on removing mention of Arrow's impossibility theorem which states that all ranked election methods fail some formal criteria. In his zeal, he has broken 3RR several times. I warned him yesterday, and as you can see from the other link above that he certainly knows about it.

Even though he is on his 5th revert, I don't believe a lengthy block is necessary. I should think that a short block would let him know that 3RR is a serious rule and would help him be more careful about it in the future. P-j-t-a 14:21, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I wish to report two 3RR violations by the same user. Note that the same user is making false accusations of "vandalism", when in actual fact he is reverting consensus edits by myself and [User:Eekadog] to the consensus version (viz. he is cherry-picking citations to push a POV and then asserting that any deletion of those citations is "vandalism"). We have explained to him ad nauseum our objections to his POV pushing, and why we revert his edits. I even gave him ample opportunity to self-revert before reporting this.

A short explanation of the incident. 74s181 02:17, 4 October 2007 (UTC) We were discussing this part of the article on the talk page. During a discussion on the talk page, I identified a factual error in the article, corrected it, added a quote from the existing ref. John Foxe reverted, I re-added it with attribution, John Foxe reverted. Etc.

John Foxe has a history of using reverts to resist changes that don't agree with his POV. He's been repeatedly warned, 3RRs filed, the article has been protected twice that I know of. Recently he has become more subtle, making his reverts look less like reverts, adding a word, moving words around, etc. The fact remains, someone made a change, John Foxe removed it, repeatedly. And yes, these edits took place in 24 hours and 20 minutes, not 24 hours, but I see this as more evidence that John Foxe is a problem reverter.

A short explanation of the incident. This is the second time in less than a week this user has violated this policy. He was warned but has deleted it from his talk page. He was told by several editors what he was placing did not belong on the page. But refuses to stop putting it back. (reported yesterday, when came was told it was incomplete so i resubmitted it.

User Obstacle insists on removing mentions of the Greek Macedonia region from the article on Thessaloniki. He has been warned that reverting more than thrice within a 24-hour time frame is disruptive behaviour contrary to Wikipedia's rules, and yet has continued deleting the references in question from the article (more than three times within 6 hours). Porfyrios 13:53, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, looking at it again, it's one original edit (#1) and then three reverts. Still silly enough, but #1 really isn't a revert by any definition; there previously never was a version of the article where the reference to "Macedonia" was missing (in all the five years of its existence, I think), so the edit was in fact wholly new.

User has four previous blocks for edit warring. He does not attempt to discuss controversial edits, despite being asked to do so many times. -- Sander Säde  17:54, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I converted the timestamps to UTC so as to put this petty bickering behind us. ΔιγυρενΕμπροσ! 19:02, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * This accusation is a deliberate attempt to mislead administrators, coming from member of the group currently under investigation by ArbCom. What is reported as "4th revert" is actually original content, repeatedly (and without attempt to discuss their reverts) reverted by wikipedian who brought this frivolous complain, as well as another member of this group. To add an insult to injury, Sander Säde posted wrong time stamp on 4th revert, making it 3 hours "newer" in desperate attempt to add extra weight to his meritless witchunt. RJ CG 18:15, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Huh? That is the exact copy-paste of the timestamp. Perhaps you did not take timezones into account? And you are under investigation in that arbcom too, BTW. -- Sander Säde  18:19, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, two editors have reverted your edits, not just me. You have been asked to discuss this, you have made not a single attempt of trying to resolve this via discussion. It is clear that others do not agree with you, so why start edit warring instead of trying to explain why you want to create a controversial (and imho, unneeded) split? -- Sander Säde  18:23, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Sander, you sure that you yourselfly did not accidentally use wrong timezone? From my view all times you gave are +3 hours from what they should be(meaning that you are actualy using wrong timezone:P). Although im not 100% sure in it. Anyway 3RR violation clearly exists.--Staberinde 18:33, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Indeed. Though the time indicated is UTC+3, it applies to all the timestamps and this still constitutes a 3RR violation. Moreover, per WP:3RR users are not entitled to game the system and revert three times each day. This user has an impressive record of blocks for 3RR and is essentially a single-purpose account, judging from his contributions . Colchicum 18:40, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I am actually pleased to see so many gang members chiming in to support brother in his witchhunt. Regarding calls to use talk page, it looks especially nice from wikipedian who reverted my edit 3 times, contributed precisely nothing but those reverts to the article's context recently, called me names in his edit summaries and did not make an attempt to explain his her reverts in the 1st place. I understand that you may believe in existence of different set of rules for people who happen not to share your opinion, but this belief is an error. Accusing other wikipedians of not following rules you repeatedly and blatantly violated isn't decent. RJ CG 18:56, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I see that one more member of the group (Digwuren) chimed in withing 90 minutes of logging the complaint. Is it a co-incidence that he was the editor who reverted (in his favourite style, without a single attempt to discuss) my original edit (falsely reported here as "4th revert")? This is clear evidence of close-knit group who regularly intervenes on behalf of each other to avoid 3rr and edit-warring violations. RJ CG 19:11, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * You're completely right. And Irpen, who "chimed in" mere six minutes after I made a correction, is a part of the gang, too! ΔιγυρενΕμπροσ! 19:14, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I have never exchanged a single off-line message with RJ_CG and, besides, I did not edit the article any time recently. Do you mean to say that you did not communicate off-wiki with Sanders/Suva/Alexia about this either? Your misuses of the off-line communications have been documented when you were caught in GAing your masterpiece "Occupation" article over IRC (now deleted as a POV-fork, some GA.) So, I think RJ's doubts are justified. That said, he should stop editing the article whether he ends up blocked or not. I left him a message to this degree. --Irpen 19:24, 4 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I think RJ CG should stop editing this page regardless of whether he technically violated 3RR or not. Revert-warring itself is an offense while a more difficult one to define than pure and simple 3RR vio. Two reverts may be a revert war while 5 reverts may be not. It depends of the circumstances. It is obvious, however, that there is a team-tag revert war going on right now. All parties should be cautioned to stop. --Irpen 19:08, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

A short explanation of the incident. Callmebc 16:20, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Not to get into the gory details, but Killian documents authenticity issues has had for quite some time a "Formatting" section that started off It has been claimed that the formatting of the Killian memos is inconsistent with the Air Force style manual in effect at the time, but without any refs whatsoever to any such "manual". That wasn't enough, though, to not use this imaginary "style manual" to comment on supposed formatting problems with the Killian memos (no, I'm not exaggerating). However, there is one, genuine "Air Force style manual" that is available: Air Force document "AFH33-337," aka "The Tongue and Quill," which originated in the mid-70's. So I thought to include references to that, and in doing so touched off this latest revert war. Why? Because its section on "Memorandum for Record" directly contradicts all of the allegations regarding the alleged formatting inconsistencies, which apparently didn't sit well with some folks of a certain extreme political persuasion, most notably "Jmcnamera," who kept removing refs to it.

And while I'm here, I suppose I should mention that "Jmcnamera" is kinda obviously a sockpuppet with alternate ID's of User talk:209.145.67.172 and User talk:68.242.153.205.

Check their contrib histories:


 * 68.242.153.205
 * 209.145.67.172
 * Jmcnamera

You should note that Jmcnamara accidently became "209.145.67.172" at 13:45, 4 October 2007 in the midst of a series of earlier reverts:

"Jmcnamera" may also be the same person who was making very similar hostile edits and reverts a week ago, resulting in one block, under the ID's of user:74.77.222.188 and User:Clashwho before abruptly stopping. See as confirmation that they are indeed the same person. Also compare "their" contrib histories to the ones above:
 * Clashwho
 * 74.77.222.188

Note especially that User talk:68.242.153.205 was blocked after I filed a 3RR complaint,, for exactly the same pattern of reverting, and note well the time: 20:31, 3 October 2007.

If you check the time of "Jmcnamera" starting his revert war, 17:33, 4 October 2007, that's not quite 24 hours, is it? And isn't there some sort of Wiki rule about using a sockpuppet to evade a block? FYI.


 * I've blocked Jmcnamera for 24 hours but also protected the article for 48 hours because of disputes involving more then 2 users and some IP's. So settle down everyone and talk about it the talk page of the article, if not all parties involved may be blocked for 24 or more hours the next time. I've also considered a block for callmecd for 24 hours for WP:NPA issues but did not for now until the next occurrence. If there are any issues with this decision please send me a message.

 * I see that the user continued to discuss the changes throughout the revert war. Consequently they have escaped with a warning but I warn all parties that further revert warring on this article will incur sanctions. Spartaz Humbug! 07:19, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * It is unfortunate that an established editor is allowed to ignore the 3RR so blatantly. One user revert-warring alone with three others, at 6 reverts, is not blocked? Are you serious? Arrow740 07:42, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * The 3RR is a technicality. The more salient point is that, even after several years of participation, he ignores talk pages (I'll ignore shameless partisanship as it's pretty much normal for these articles - else there would hardly be anyone left.) I don't think a block necessary, but a 3RR warning isn't particularly productive. What is needed is a tailored agreement with Jagged85 to use the talk pages.Proabivouac 07:55, 6 October 2007 (UTC)


 * In this case they did use the talk page. Have they reverted again? If not, there is nothing further to do here. If there is a more difficult editing concern that requires a more complicated resolution than its not something for AN3. Spartaz Humbug! 08:34, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

A short explanation of the incident. Callmebc 20:49, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to keep coming back here, but it's safe to say that both Killian documents authenticity issues and Killian documents have had more than their fair share of anonymous IP's, sockpuppets, and editors of less than noble intentions messing with them. This 3RR stuff has been good, though, at weeding out the more blatent pests, so...here I be again. In this latest case, there was an obvious -- to me at least -- attempt to also game the reverts to avoid 3RR blocking: SEWilco -- whose "contributions" to the Killian wikis so far have only amounted to inserting a fabricated & false anecdote and blocking adding refs associated to unref'd POV assertions -- has recently been reverting a major clean-up of the Killian documents. I listed a long list of some of the problems I corrected on the Talk page for comments and error checking, which SEWilco also twice removed here on 15:24, 7 October 2007, and here on 16:05, 7 October 2007.

The gaming bit involved SEWilco bringing in another "editor," HiramShadraski, with no prior history of contributing to either Killian wiki,, to do 2 of the reverts listed, #2 and #5, the last which provoked a full lock on the page to its older, rather (so to speak) inaccurate version. That of course also kept SEWilco's reverts to only three.

I should mention that because of all the recent sockpuppet issues I've had do deal with, I now analyze any new "editor" popping in to revert stuff without discussion. And I do believe, for various reasons, that HiramShadraski should recuse himself from having anything whatsoever to do with any wikis involving the Killian docs, including Dan Rather (go ask him directly if you like). FYI. Thanks in advance for your consideration -BC


 * The page in question is Killian documents, not the fork Killian documents authenticity issues. There are three reverts by SEWilco and two by HiramShadraski. Investigation of HiramShadraski's editing shows that he has been around for over a year, and shows no undue interest in the same topics as SEWilco, so the implication that they are either socks or meatpuppets of each other is not quacking. That I think disposes of the substance of this report. However, Callmebc looks like he has reverts at 13:36, 15:28, 16:08 and 17:52. The page has now been fully protected but I am disappointed to see Callmebc again revert-warring on these articles. In addition his talk page contributions are aggressive and bordering incivil. This approach is not only highly disruptive to the articles, it is needlessly aggravating and I am considering whether there should be an administrative response. Sam Blacketer 21:27, 7 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Participants should be aware that User:Callmebc thinks these articles are part of some sort of war, has stated an intent to cover these articles with changes , and expects to break 3RR a lot more . Meanwhile, he erroneously challenges one small issue (Talk:Killian documents authenticity issues) and pretends he expects us to resolve many entangled alterations.  I have to admit he did produce one amazing work at User talk:Charles Matthews (yes, he notified administrators of it).  (SEWilco 03:48, 8 October 2007 (UTC))


 * I was under the impression that we're not suppose to carry on the argument here. Whatever, I'll only mention that the gentleman doth protest too much. Me thinks. You thinks? -BC aka Callmebc 15:17, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

 * This is a high valume page that has significant reverting from lots of editors. I don't realistically see revert #1 as part of the same series of revertions as the latter 3. While I take the point about the interpretation of the 3RR, I have to say that it would also be WP:LAME to block an editor over the addition of a fact tag. I'm closing this as lots of time has passed for this to be actioned and clearly there is no appitite for action on this one although I will acknowledge that we probably have a technical violation of the rule. Policy is what we do rather than what's written down and this simply isn't worth the effort of a block.

 * Yes, WP:3RR pertains to the behavior of the editor, which is clearly tendentious in this case.

Ronnotel 14:43, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Look at the edit history for that article and you'll see that there has been a group of editors that have ganged up on Liftarn to push their POV.  This is a larger problem involving all edits by User:Vision Thing and "Nobel Prize in Economics" that spans several articles.  Penalizing Liftarn for this would be ludicrous.  It only reinforces that editors who gang up on others to force their POV into WP, regardless of whether or not it is based on fact or fiction, always win. –panda 17:02, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

 * That's correct, he violated WP:3RR but for trying to add more correct info to WP. You should also take a look at User_talk:Vision_Thing, Talk:Nobel Prize, and Talk:Nobel Prize in Economics to see Vision Thing's POV pushing on this issue.  This is a much larger issue about adding correct vs incorrect information to WP and those who choose to edit war to add facts instead of fiction are being penalized in the name of WP:3RR.  Any suggestions for what to do instead? –panda 17:32, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Three-revert rule violation on


 * Previous version reverted to: complex partial reversions. Note that the three-revert rule states that "A revert means undoing the actions of another editor, whether involving the same or different material each time."

No violation. One includes adding a link. Two other edits are the same revert and the last is different. There is also no pattern of removing the same content. This is the second invalid report submitted by the same user in 24 hours. Please be careful to ensure that future reports are actually violations as repeated invalid reports are disruptive.

 * As the reporting user correctly highlighted in their report, "A revert means undoing the actions of another editor, whether involving the same or different material each time." Your response that "There is also no pattern of removing the same content" is irrelevant to 3RR. Please do not close valid 3RR reports until you clearly understand the relevant WP policy.

User:Halibutt was blocked for 3RR violation several times already, so contributor is familiar with policy. Currently he conducted edit warring on the same article for several days with completely unacceptable edit summaries (please not he also accused established editor of vandalism as well). And 3RR policy states: ''An editor must not perform more than three reverts, in whole or in part, on a single page within a 24-hour period. A revert means undoing the actions of another editor, whether involving the same or different material each time''. M.K. 14:12, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

This is a content dispute (see report below), centered on the reliability of a certain source used for a claim in the article. In addition to violating 3RR by making 5 reverts in 24 hours, it seems thatUser:ChrisO has also abused his admin privelges by protecting the article after reverting it to his favored version.Isarig 18:38, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

For 3rr warnings, see at the bottom of Quizimodo's talk-page and also some of the edit-summaries in the edit-war, but Quizimodo is not a new user. This is an edit-war over use of "dominion" in the article's lead. The article's talkpage shows a roughly 2/3 majority in favour of not using it there. Quizimodo disagrees. Soulscanner, the main counter-reverter, likely has also broken 3rr, but see for yourself on that (I can't be bothered to make a second report). The Quizimodo's third revert is arguably legitimate, taken by itself, because it deletes a (presumably) accidental doubling of some text by Soulscanner. The seeming intent of Soulscanner's edit was to change that back to "federation", though, and the effect of Quizimodo's edit was to undo that. In any case, there are 5 reverts even without it.
