Statement of the dispute
Nixer is engaged in revert wars across multiple articles, with multiple editors and has repeated violated WP:3RR. Although he engages in dialogue, there appears to be no attempt at consensus building. He has been blocked no fewer than 10 times for WP:3RR violations. He appears to have the potential to be a valuable contributor.

Description
At least the following articles appear to be the crux of the problem: For Comparative military ranks of World War II he apparently nominated it for AfD in bad faith.

I am creating this RfC now (while I have time), but will not submit it until Nixer comes off of his block so that there is not time to "pile on" while he can not respond.

 * After a review of the evidence provided, I see sufficient evidence of sockpuppetry to avoid the 3rr blocks.  ALKIVAR &trade;[[Image:Radioactive.svg|18px|]] 04:42, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
