Timeline of the war in Donbass
For the sake of neutrality and honesty reports by Ukrainian and Western media should not be accepted as true by default. Incidents like the famous "bombed Russian convoy","ships attacked by helicopters", "rocket barrages fired from Russian territory" and many other stories who were reported worldwide without a shred of evidence. On the other hand large and easy to confirm events like the massive encirclement of the city of Mariupol and its 3 divisions or the conquest of the Luhansk airport are completely unreported by non-Russian media. If there are no serious evidence, even a youtube video from the ground, reports from Ukraine media can be considered false regardless of who reposted them. My main source of information is the website militarymaps.info which is maintained and moderated by the highly reputable site yandex.ru and updated it's maps every hour and only after confirmation. Other than that as a Russian speaker i can always enter youtube and quickly verify by myself whether a piece of news is true or not. For example the recent photos allegedly showing the burial of Russian soldiers in Pskov were completely unrelated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlaDlrE6nZc they were from a re-burial ceremony for WW2 dead. Next time before you delete an edit make sure that your own sources of information are backed by serious evidence. Unlike the US state department wikipedia must not allow itself to spread lies 109.64.12.164 (talk) 15:13, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
- IP contributor, I usually don't like getting involved in highly conflicted and heated pages such as that--though I do do some semi-controversial page edits which are quickly reverted, it's usually of topics that interest or intrigue me. I looked over the page history where you changed 'Russian' to 'separatist' and reverted because separatist doesn't really tell me which side the person was on, and can be seen as a 'biased' word. That was the entirety that I was involved, and I have not been involved on the article's talk page or in the article's content either. If you're concerned about the neutrality of certain things, maybe you'd want to leave a note on the talk page giving your concerns. Tutelary (talk) 17:12, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
Tutelary: The conflict is officially between the government of Ukraine and certain people in the two Eastern provinces of Ukraine who fight to secede -separate- from the central government in one way or another. The most accurate and neutral way to call these forces is separatists. Sometimes they are called pro-Russian rebels although they formed and officially independent Federal State of Novorossiya. Despite mountains of accusations that Russia has directly sent soldiers and military equipment to aid the rebels/secessionists/separatists Russia has not officially declared war on Ukraine nor Ukraine on Russia. Therefore saying that "Russian" and not "rebel/separatist" forces are active in the conflict would suggest that they are fighting with the official public consent of the Russian government- which is not true. A similar example is saying that people from western countries like USA and UK who fight for ISIL are an official military force of their respective countries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.64.12.164 (talk) 20:13, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
- IP, it looks like it was changed back to 'separatists'. Because I don't want to edit war, I'm not gonna revert it back. Again, I don't want to get involved in this topic matter. The only reason I reverted is because I was patrolling on Huggle and looked like a biased edit. Tutelary (talk) 20:22, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
Tutelary, my point is that ironically you did not realize that you have been biased yourself and made changes based on unverified information presented as fact by most of the world's media outlets. Just because a large majority think that something is true does not make it so. We here at wikipedia should report actual facts or at least the claims of both sides and not just the majority opinion. As the famous song says: "you better check yourself before you break (it) yourself".109.64.12.164 (talk) 21:00, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Over the top
I don't take too much umbrage at the removal; it was over the top but at the same time, quite truthful. There's a smear campaign going on at that talk page that echoes what happened to the subject herself. Tarc (talk) 02:16, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Your user page
Tutelary, I have removed some commentary from your user page--the section about your block. It falls foul of WP:POLEMIC, "Material that can be viewed as attacking other editors, including the recording of perceived flaws." You may collect such material and interpretations in a subpage if you are preparing a case in some forum or other, but you can't put it on your user page. And I considered this to be an attack, since you claim that Dreadstar was involved when (I clicked through the diffs) it was pretty clear that they were enforcing the BLP by redacting inappropriate material. Dreadstar can't comment on those allegations since it's your user page, and since you made it clear, in your hidden comment, that you would pursue Dreadstar if they removed it. In other words, it's just not fair. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 01:03, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
- @Drmies: would it be acceptable if I removed all mention of Dreadstar including the 'involved' and 'unjust' block bit? Tutelary (talk) 01:35, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
- Tutelary, that's a tough one. If you take out what I see as polemic there isn't much left but "I was blocked and then the same admin unblocked me". If you take out the name and replace it with, I don't know, "Darth Vader" the accusation still stands and your block log makes it clear immediately who's being discussed. I don't really wish to argue the rights and wrongs of this block with you--or make you relive painful memories since being blocked is no fun--but what I see as problematic is a. the charge that Darth Vader was involved and b. the charge that they abused rollback. If I follow you correctly, you're saying that the fact that they rolled back those edits makes them involved, but that is not correct--INVOLVED requires more than that, and an admin is allowed to roll back edits (or hit "undo", whatever) if, for instance, they spot a BLP violation or some such thing--in this case I guess the point is that it was a FORUM violation on a BLP-related matter--and then take action pursuant to that edit. I suppose all that can be phrased very neutrally, but I'm not sure what the point of it would be. Plus, I think that keeping that content might turn off some editors/admins, though undoubtedly it might generate you some support as well. But really, I think it would be wise, for various reasons (POLEMIC, but also a collaborative spirit), to not reinstate the material. For the record, I don't think I have had much to do with "Darth Vader" here, though I've made an edit or two (I think) on the Quinn article and/or the talk page. But I offer you this advice in all honesty, in hopes of future productivity and collaboration. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 02:45, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
- OK, I have been working a little bit on the article that dare not speak its name, and found, in the history, something that puzzles me. First of all, I think this edit is far from an improvement--I mean, citing wiktionary in such an important article?--but secondly, I can't help but wonder what on earth you mean with that edit summary. Lightbreather shouldn't be editing that article why? because she's of the female persuasion? because she is a feminist, or not a feminist, or a feminist of the wrong kind? what could you have meant that doesn't smack of bad faith? Drmies (talk) 02:17, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
- Check out the talk page, Drmies rather than an edit summary which I cannot edit. Tutelary (talk) 02:28, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
- I did, and I'm trying to wrap my head around what you said there. First, you said Lightbreather has a "WP:COI due to their established viewpoint of what had happened with them", which makes no sense to me, if only because the antecedent of "them" is unclear--the only possibility I see is it refers to "Lightbreather's edits", which makes no sense. Or, all of a sudden you're using singular they, and "them" refers to Lightbreather: so she would have a conflict of interest because she had argued against the use of the word "cunt" on Wikipedia, and "something" happened to her. Which also makes no sense. Then, when Gobonobo called you on it, you're attempting some sort of shift: "you of all people" is "against" her supposed COI (a ridiculous invention), not against her. That's rich.
Oh, edit summaries can be edited; it's best to do it beforehand. Drmies (talk) 03:49, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
- Let me try to express what I felt at the time; You pretty much got it right, though.
so she would have a conflict of interest because she had argued against the use of the word "cunt" on Wikipedia, and "something" happened to her.
The something having had the word thrown at her. Though really I shouldn't have used the terms COI to describe it, that's reserved more for paid editing, what I should have said that the fact that Lightbreather would edit the 'Cunt' page to express the term's powerful meaning and even editing the lead to make sure that that was stated left something to be desired. This is due to her earlier affair with the word. I suppose that a good analogy for what I felt at the time is if I edited the 'doxing' page to include that it especially harms the person's ability to be interactive with other people and that it is oh so nasty. Well, you can see that I personally got doxed so that would be a bit difficult and leave something in my editing to be desired. So that's what I saw at that point. I can see how it was problematic, the edit summary was is a bit terse and succinct, leaving a false impression. Though that's also a bit of a flawed analogy considering that Lightbreather did have a source for it, so consider my example where I had a source for it as well.

- @Drmies:I looked at that and . . . I am not sure why you would say it was about a BLP violation. Dreadstar did not say it was about that when reverting or when reverting Tutelary and the comment did not seem to be a BLP violation. Saying Quinn was subjected to an unprecedented online misogynistic harassment campaign that is arguably more noteworthy than anything else about her is not really a BLP violation. That is an opinion about due weight. It is clear the editor who made the statement was sympathetic to Quinn and there were no other living people named in the statement. Any claim of BLP would be contentious in that situation even if it had been made. We had a huge kerfufflypse if you remember when an admin shouted BLP in a crowded editing environment while using the tools and did not explain it until days later with severe consequences resulting. An admin who does not even implicitly invoke BLP when reverting an action on a completely non-obvious case until after blocking the party on the other side of the edit-war is clearly not on the right side of WP:INVOLVED. Not that the WP:POLEMIC point about Tutelary's user page is not valid, but Tutelary's description of events is not wrong either way.--The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 07:01, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Test ?
It was not a test, I am accustomed to wikis. "Digest" is better than "Plot" for a book. --24.122.234.224 (talk) 19:40, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
- Generally, we use 'plot'. 'Digest' is sure to confuse some people. The reason why I marked it as 'test' is because I thought it was referring to stomach functions, so it didn't seem right for the article at the time. Tutelary (talk) 19:43, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
Thanks
Hi Tutelary,
Thanks for undoing those unfortunate edits made to my talk page and user page. For what it's worth, I have no animosity towards the editor who made them. I understand their frustration, so hopefully it was just a one time blowing off of steam and will not be repeated. Despite how they may feel, I am personally not out to get them or any other Wikipedian. I merely began a discussion on a file whose copyright status I believed to be inappropriate. Regarding their "I'm gonna go through every single post you ever made until I find a copyright error.", they are free to do so. I am just as accountable for my edits as they are for theirs. Like everyone else, I make mistakes, but such mistakes, whatever they may be, are always made in good faith. I have no problem with anyone pointing them out and correcting them, as long as they too are acting in good faith. I've thought about posting something like the above on this editor's user talk page, but you have already warned them twice and I don't want to seem to be piling on. Thanks again. - Marchjuly (talk) 22:59, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Edit warring
First of all, I said that it was my last revert. Second of all, you're edit warring as well, so you have no right to warn me. I only reverted twice in the 24 hour window, while you reverted 3 times. So there's no way I'll get blocked without you being blocked as well. JDDJS (talk) 01:36, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
- You need to stop edit warring to include BLP violations on a person's page when it's been made clear that consensus is in the other way. Tutelary (talk) 01:42, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
- There is no consensus. Two editors is not a consensus. And the editor only said that it needs better sources. I am not violating BLP. It does not say to never include things like that. Just to consider not including them. JDDJS (talk) 01:45, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
- It would be better if we continued this at the talk rather than here. Tutelary (talk) 01:47, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

Reinstated speedy tag
Hello Tutelary, this is about the CSD tag you reinserted here after it was initially removed by an unregistered editor. Before reinserting a speedy tag, please ensure that you personally would stand behind the speedy deletion request. In this case, the article was previously deleted as a CSD-A7, and is not eligible for speedy deletion; the original removal of the tag by an unregistered user was quite correct in this particular case. I've declined the speedy, but if you still feel that the article should be deleted for other policy-based reasons, please start an AfD. Risker (talk) 05:11, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
- Note, I've just discussed this further with another editor, who has identified the key AfD relating to this; the article had a different title at the AfD so that would not have shown up using a template to create the CSD tag. In short, the policy-based reason was identified, and the article is now deleted and semi-salted. Risker (talk) 05:35, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
Sockpuppet investigation
Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Tutelary, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

Zoe Quinn versus Skyler Page
For Zoe Quinn, you argued for inclusion of allegations that she cheated on her boyfriend (reliable sources were reporting on that allegation in the boyfriend's blog). For Skyler Page, you argued against inclusion of allegations that he sexually assaulted a co-worker (reliable sources were reporting on that allegation from the co-workers Twitter feed and elsewhere). These seem to be kinda similar situations, yet you arrive at different results. Can you explain why Quinn's allegations should be included but Page's should not? Kaletony (talk) 22:34, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
- I can't speak for Tutelary but from a quick glance I can see a material difference. The fact that the allegations against quinn were of that nature was the spark that many claimed caused GamerGate they also didn't imply any criminal activity. With Skyler the implication is of a criminal act and it would make little difference to the content of the article whether it was that criminal act or any other or even if it was just a violation of work policy.

- The editor's first edit was to Jimbo's talk page and was subsequently hard blocked (no email, talk, a violation of WP:HARDBLOCK) by HJ Mitchell. I asked the admin about it and as you can see the response, he's not responded to the hardblock violation. Though it really is low on my list of priorities, it's disheartening to see.

answer
I actually received emails from more the just one user. As these were sent to me privately I will not reveal the contents of those because I think it would be the most cowardly way of evening a score and it's just not in my character to be that underhanded. That being said I think a lot can be manufactured on the internet, I have no idea what to believe. This is one of those times that I wear my own rose colored glasses and not want to believe people are that dishonest. The only reason I backed out was with what I was provided and the total lack of care the rest of the community has arb's included. Sadly this means that either they believe the allegations about you but can't prove it so they have to sit on their hands or they frankly just don't care period. Those who know my opinion on arbcom likely know which way I lean. I'm sorry Tutelary, I wish I could help but I don't know where to even begin. I am surprised and somewhat disheartened to see how seriously people take this wikipedia business, separate websites and such. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 21:57, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Tutelary. I noticed that you recently removed some content from National Cartoonists Society with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Tutelary (talk) 22:55, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

The content is too short to make any solid judgements about it; it's not hurting anything at the present time, as far as I can see. Such an extremely vague and unhelpful criterion should never have been enacted, and now that we're stuck with it, it should not be used in anything but the most egregious cases, e.g. ongoing onwiki games.

My page
Hello I am trying to update my OWN wiki page since the information is out of date. I was contacted by you because you said my editing was not a "neutral" point of view. I am simply putting in my newest accomplishments which are all valid and true. I notice that someone has updated my marriage information and included that I have a child..I didn't do this..and yet I can't change some of the information that is no longer correct?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.33.70.25 (talk) 21:32, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
- I've moved your comment to a perspective section. If the information that the page is wrong, then it should indeed be removed. But what you attempted to do was not remove anything, but to add your own personal spin on the article. I invite you to read WP:PLAINANDSIMPLECOI. It is very relevant. You have a conflict of interest with the article because you are the subject. You can make requests on the talk page that something be changed, but you shouldn't be editing the article yourself. Tutelary (talk) 21:35, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
After reading the "Plain and simple" page you supplied in this thread and re reading my wiki page, I think that it is fair to say that it now reads only facts and does not strive to "sell" anything about me but only to inform and update. The article that was published on this page was out of date, and written in 2002. I have not put my "own spin" on this by removing some of the information. I have removed incorrect and no longer relevant information(upcoming albums and studio time with producers from the early 2000's is no longer relevant - especially when written as if it is happening now) I would hope that your writers/editors/contributors would actually want wiki pages to be up to date, if this is where people are to come to find out information about a particular subject. You can read the updated information that is on this particular page and if you still find it to be an example of anything other than factual information, please explain how one is to go about getting accurate and up to date information entered into your site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.33.70.25 (talk) 21:33, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Holy shit, you just about gave me a heart attack. My account has also been dormant for an extended period and it's entirely possible that I've told people whose names I don't remember to fuck off the last time I was around. I was halfway through a comment saying 'Yes, but...' and then I went 'Waaaaait. September!' Snakebyte42 (talk) 22:15, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
Sorry that it appeared I was calling you a sock
I really did not think that having two accounts was sufficient to consider being a sock. I thought it also required cross advocacy, which you were not doing.
I also did not want to attack any person, except to attack untruths directly. But you were awesome in the process, and I really appreciated your involvement. I set up the two Danielle accounts next to each other because I though you might be the same person, and I wanted to be inviting to the conversation. I got forced to admit I thought you were the same, and did not want to seem defensive. But I can tell you were upset, and that is my fault, and I will most certainly "knock it off".
Thanks for you involvement. I was trying to help the project, and maybe in a small way I did.

I am not a sockpuppet
Thanks for your comments on ANI.
Per WP:VALIDALT:
Alternative accounts have legitimate uses. For example, long-term contributors using their real names may wish to use a pseudonymous account for contributions with which they do not want their real name to be associated, or long-term users might create a new account to experience how the community functions for new users. These accounts are not sockpuppets.
A person editing an article which is highly controversial within his/her family, social or professional circle, and whose Wikipedia identity is known within that circle, or traceable to their real-world identity, may wish to use an alternative account to avoid real-world consequences from their editing or other Wikipedia actions in that area.
Per WP:SOCK#NOTIFY:
Except when doing so would defeat the purpose of having a legitimate alternative account, editors using alternative accounts should provide links between the accounts.
Editors who have multiple accounts for privacy reasons should consider notifying a checkuser or members of the arbitration committee if they believe editing will attract scrutiny.
Check the logs. I notified ArbCom long ago, and was CheckUser'd. I've also been "outed" and subject to attack pages by a group of cyber attackers, so I've been through Oversight too.
Here's the bottom line: I'm not a sockpuppet. Any claims that I am need to be backed up with diffs. Otherwise, they're just harassment. Fearofreprisal (talk) 20:06, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Slipknot image on Hatred
Undue weight because this is one single reviewer, and having an image contributes undue weight towards that single reviewer. Images should be reserved for a multitude of sources.
— your edit summary
Effort should therefore be made to improve quality and choice of images or captions in articles rather than favoring their removal, especially on pages which have few visuals.
— WP:PERTINENCE
Can you please point me to where images must reflect a multitude of sources? When a respected critic makes an aesthetic comparison, it is pertinent to illustrate that aesthetic, especially when the primary source is fair use-only and we have free use images available for illustration. This is the standard for all sorts of Reception sections. Additionally, the image description also clearly explained whose opinion it was and made no generalization of all critics. Please revert your edit czar ♔ 18:49, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- Due weight policy. Having an image when only one source have contributed something visual is undue weight. There's not any one policy or guideline that says it, but DUE is the main thing here. Having an image makes reader's eye go to that image, and as a result, that viewpoint is garnered more due weight. By the standard that one source = one image, we'd have about 8 on the page, one about political correctness, one from GTA, one about vivid color, and one about the 1st amendment, and so on. I just don't believe an image is necessary. Polygon's comments on matter is fine, but they shouldn't be given an entire image because they are only one source. If you wish, we could discuss it on the talk and see if another editor could be sympathetic to your or my thoughts on it. Nonetheless, you're doing good work on the article in expansion and the like. I just don't agree with this one thing. Though as a counterpoint, if maybe another two sources said that it reminded them of Slipknot, then yes, I'd feel an image is appropriate, but I don't feel like with just one it is. Tutelary (talk) 19:01, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- I'm very familiar with how due weight works. If your stance was that it made the section non-neutral or that it overemphasized an unpopular/fringe belief, then I could see an argument for due weight. Some illustrations are only going to illustrate a single sentence from a large article (this includes several of my FAs), and that's fine. It doesn't make sense to illustrate GTA or political correctness in this article in the same way. I really don't think this instance is a big deal and I hope you'd agree that it's a logical and reasonable illustration czar ♔ 20:08, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
The Salt Lake Tribune is not a "blog"
You may want to re-check the definitions of words. An editorial by the largest newspaper in the state of Utah is not a "blog", is a reliable source for its opinions and does not fall under any BLP exemption. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 21:06, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Ryūlóng needs to go to ANI
It is clear that the articles Ryulong are posting are just not acceptable in any form and he is violating every policy to post them. Look at this [2]. He needs to go to ANI and be blocked. 173.153.2.179 (talk) 19:38, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
- He actually was kind of boomeranged in his proposal to topic ban all of those users, 70% of which were erroneously considered SPAs. Why Future closed it is beyond me. I'd hold off on actually asking him though. He'll look at your contributions and probably consider you to be somebody editing 'while logged out' (like I see Ryulong did on WP:BLPN) and may not take too kindly to it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained? Tutelary (talk) 20:13, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
- I may consider that because no IP editor on their first edits zeroes in on BLPN like he did.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 20:15, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
- Well particularly it does look kind of suspicious. But with a contentious issue this wide reported, it's surely plausible. Especially if they get linked to your contributions off site. Tutelary (talk) 20:16, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
- Well these people should know that jumping down the throats of the participants here who in good faith are just trying to get an outside opinion on things doesn't help their cause. Also are my contributions linked directly or through Archive Today?—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 20:22, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Yahoo says that is how you deal with toxic people like Ryulong. 173.153.2.179 (talk) 20:41, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

- No means no. You had no right and you know that. You are a harasser. 173.153.2.179 (talk) 20:47, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
- You can't state such things on wiki. 'Lying' or 'deceitful' or 'full of shit'. It's ambiguous, and to my complaint I've made such that some insults that are more longer and euphemized aren't removed but blatant ones are. I can't do much to help you if you're going to call him insults. Also, what he's doing on your IP's talk page is unfortunate but mandated by our policies. WP:3RRNO. He can revert infinitely banned users and sockpuppets, of which that user appeared to be one. You -can- however, blank it but can't restore any edits of sockpuppets or banned users. (but that's been a bit contentious because what if the user did a good edit?) In this case, restoring pictures of fruit is...obscure and your IP editor's talk page isn't your own. Tutelary (talk) 20:51, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Topic ban
I'm new to Wikipedia and can't figure out where to go or what to do to get Ryulong banned from participating in the Gamergate controversy. Can you explain to me how to go about doing so? Thanks. I've looked around but I don't see a course of action. Willhesucceed (talk) 20:29, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
- I guess there really isn't any doc that explains it. From my experience, it has to be community consensus at WP:AN or WP:ANI, whichever one works. Only reason Titanium got his outside of that process is due to the fact that it was under BLP discretionary sanctions, which administrators have a big sort of leeway with and can use that to topic ban or even block editors. I'd gather up a bunch of diffs of any evidence you have before you start one, and maybe email it to me; I've known from experience that what appears to be bias to editors involved with it, actually won't carry any weight.

- I already have those collected. How do I send them to you? Should I just post the links here? Edit: I don't have article diffs, I have talk page infractions of him being abusive, engaging in bad faith, etc. Willhesucceed (talk) 21:28, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Should I ask at the tea-house about this kind of behavior?
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
May I ask how you found this dispute [5]? This appears way out of your area of interest, and the only way you could've all of sudden become interested in it is if you've started following my edits for some reason. Volunteer Marek 20:17, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
- Volunteer Marek, description of the changes is sufficient: WP:BRD. Your edit was the bold one. Article was stable before your edit on October 17th. You can not push a new version if is very controversial, and reverted by another user, see BRD. Simply. Franek K. (talk) 20:26, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
- Recent changes and you shouldn't be creating bad faith theories that somehow I'm following your edits. Additionally, appealing to WP:TEAHOUSE is kind of useless because I really don't comment there spare once in a blue moon, and really only check it out once it's been linked in Wikipedia-en-help. Not to mention that they don't have any authority for me or my edits. But if you're meaning getting a second opinion, I'd love for them to tell you all about WP:BRD and how you made a bold edit and you yourself should get consensus for it. Which is true, you made the bold edit to the otherwise quiet template on October 17th, got reverted, continued reverting and reverted it again today. You're in the wrong regarding the 'edit warring' going on. Tutelary (talk) 20:28, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
- Right. Out of the hundreds of recent changes you somehow pick one of mine, and jump into an edit war. And you revert per... per nothing really. It's not like you've been involved in this topic, not like you've discussed anything, not like you've shown interest. Your edit summary basically says "I'm reverting you because you reverted someone". That is a text book definition of edit warring.
- And there's not a single policy on Wikipedia which privileges the status quo. Who cares if the page was stable before? And in fact, it wasn't. Franek K has been been edit warring on that and related pages for a few years now. Always going up right to the 3RR limit then backing down, coming back a few days later to continue. But like I said, "page was stable" is NOT a reason to revert somebody. Especially on an article/page you haven't edited before. Volunteer Marek 20:31, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
- Per WP:TALKDONTREVERT.
This obligation applies to all editors: consensus can be assumed if editors stop responding to talk page discussions, and editors who ignore talk page discussions yet continue to edit in or revert disputed material may be guilty of disruptive editing and incur sanctions.
Nobody continued to respond to any talk page stuff in the earlier version and the edit was thereby gained consensus, there for a month and a half without any trouble at all. I recommend you seek dispute resolution rather than continuing to edit war. You did a bold edit, again and got reverted. You don't get to renistate your preferred version. Tutelary (talk) 20:36, 20 October 2014 (UTC)- Uhh... I did talk. I'm on the talk page. Are you? No? Then why are you edit warring? And if sources support me, then yes, I do get to reinstate my preferred version.
- And let's be honest here. All kinds of junk makes it into Wikipedia articles all the time. Often because some tendentious user with an agenda manages to get it in there. And very often it stays in there for months if not years. Just because something idiotic manages to go undetected for a month and a half absolutely does not mean it has "consensus". And the idea that "page was stable" is a valid reason for reverting is fundamentally against Wikipedia's very nature of an ever evolving and improving encyclopedia.
- And like I said. You didn't comment. You didn't discuss. You just jumped and started edit warring because... apparently just because I'm the one who made the edit. Not nice. Not tea-house nice at all. Volunteer Marek 20:44, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
- Dear Volunteer Marek, look at the facts: for a long time there was a version of the article (commonly called a "stable version"). This is not my version, this version was before my coming, see history of changes. One day you come and change template: very controversial change. Other users - in this case, I'm - reverted this very controversial change according to the Wikipedia:BRD and you begin edit-war. So, this is unacceptable. Franek K. (talk) 21:05, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
- I'm not listed on the Teahouse's host list nor do I intend to represent myself officially with the Teahouse in any sort of capacity. The only thing I mentioned is that I saw the post at WP:TEAHOUSE and decided to act. It's an open forum, mainly for helping newbies to Wikipedia, anybody can comment, lurk, act on posts made there, or anything of the sort. The insisting that this is somehow related to the Teahouse is absolutely out of the question.
Then why are you edit warring? And if sources support me, then yes, I do get to reinstate my preferred version.
Kind of funny that phrasing. "Why are you edit warring?" while saying that you can edit war if the sources are in your favor. No, you don't get to edit war in any type of situation (barring any WP:3RRNO scenarios). I don't care how many sources are in your favor, you don't get to edit war it back in and that bright red line is at 3 reverts. Though you can be blocked for simply edit warring, which I think any reasonable person would see on the page that that is occurring. All in all, please stop fretting because I decided to revert your one bold edit which you sought to reinstate continuously. Tutelary (talk) 21:07, 20 October 2014 (UTC)- One more time. I have been discussing the issue on talk. You haven't. I have provided sources. You haven't. There's a difference between someone who reinstates a version which is supported by sources after discussion, and someone who just out of nowhere jumps in to edit war for no reason except that they apparently dislike one of the participants in a dispute. Or even just because they imagine themselves to be some kind of "BRD Police", so they go around reverting people nilly-willy on articles they have no interest in or knowledge of.

You really need to stop with this behavior of following my edits around and jumping in to revert me whenever I'm in a dispute, on articles you have not edited ever before [6]. Volunteer Marek 21:31, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
- Maybe you could elaborate on why you saw fit to exchange Vladimir Putin's headshot with some image of him getting nice and cuddly with a Dolphin? Tutelary (talk) 22:00, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
- Sure. As soon as you explain why you're following around my edits and jumping in to revert me whenever you get the chance. Grudge or something? Not nice. Volunteer Marek 05:53, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Stay off my talk page
I note that you didn't similarly warn Diego, who is also over 3RR. Your bias in the matter is apparent. I don't need warnings from you and I formally request that you not post on my talk page again. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 21:54, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
- Well, you can't really file a report for edit warring if the person hasn't been warned. Consider that your warning for that, then. That's all well and good, but since you're essentially booting me off from your talk, any issues I have with you will then be posted to a noticeboard rather than trying to work something out; that's the nature of your request, and kind of iffy because I just posted a notice but whatever.

NPA on GG
Regarding this edit, that's incivility, not a personal attack. I've learned this the really really hard way after dealing with Corbett and GGTF stuff. Tarc is calling the edit bullshit, not the user, and uses a plural in the last sentence, making it a general statement. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 04:28, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
- When a person calls another editor 'man children' and saying that the article will not be dictated by them is absolutely a personal attack. It's battle ground behavior, too. Tutelary (talk) 04:29, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

You are confused about how AE works; ArbCom members don't take action at WP:AE, admins do. And did. Considering that in the short term, Tarc will not participate in the ANI thread anymore, and in the long term, he has filed a clarification request at WP:ARCA, there's no benefit to an open AE request, nor a noticeboard thread complaining about the closure. --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:34, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Edit War on Assassin's Creed Unity
Hi Tutelary,
Just FYI, you could be liable for sanction under WP:3RR over your repeated reverting on Assassin's Creed Unity. The IP hadn't violated Wikipedia:VANDAL, so warnings to that effect were somewhat misplaced. The IP did, however, violate 3RR and should be punished for doing so.
Not saying that you should be sanctioned (as I'm not an Admin, it's not my place to make that call)... just saying that you need to watch our for 3RR...
Have a great day!
