Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Scipo

In order to remain listed at Requests for comment/User conduct, at least two people need to show that they tried to resolve a dispute with this user and have failed. This must involve the same dispute with a single user, not different disputes or multiple users. The persons complaining must provide evidence of their efforts, and each of them must certify it by signing this page with &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;. If this does not happen within 48 hours of the creation of this dispute page (which was: 22:35, 19 October 2007 (UTC)), the page will be deleted. The current date and time is:, 29 July 2024 (UTC).



Users should only edit one summary or view, other than to endorse.

Statement of the dispute
''This is a summary written by users who are concerned by this user's conduct. Users signing other sections ("Response" or "Outside views") should not edit the "Statement of the dispute" section.''

Editor is engaging in edit wars regarding genres on various band articles, refusing to discuss on Talk pages, and is leaving harassing messages on User talk pages.

Desired outcome
''This is a summary written by users who have initiated the request for comment. It should spell out exactly what the changes they'd like to see in the user, or what questions of behavior should be the focus.''

Editor needs to learn Wikipedia policy regarding edit wars and personal attacks. Since others have attempted to inform/remind/warn him before, this will probably require Administrator invervention.

Description
''{Add summary here, but you must use the section below to certify or endorse it. Users who edit or endorse this summary should not edit the other summaries, other than to endorse them.}''

Editor is consistently reverting genre changes on band articles. A look through his contributions shows that this is essentially all that he does. Other editors have requested that he discuss these (disputed) changes on the individual band Talk pages, but he has thus far refused to do so. In the one time that he did respond, it was to harass, not to build consensus.

Evidence of disputed behavior
(Provide diffs. Links to entire articles aren't helpful unless the editor created the entire article. Edit histories also aren't helpful as they change as new edits are performed.)

 * User acts in complete disregard of all discussions that have come up and brought a consensus, and changes things to whatever he personally thinks is appropriate. Trying to contact the user failed, instead, all fixed and reverts have just been re-reverted. ~ | twsx | talkcont | 14:01, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
