After HW's attempt here to have me blocked failed, HW continues to revert my edits in violation of established WP:PROD policy. 2602:30A:2EFE:F050:884:A54E:F6D5:C2AF (talk) 23:37, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

• Obvious harassment and retaliation. Four reverts over three articles is not a 3RR violation. Note that this disruptive, IP-hopping user is also retaliating by removing PRODs simply because I placed them, and has violated 3RR on the Joe Simmons (actor) article. They're not here to build an encyclopedia in any way, but are throwing a disruptive tantrum by mass dePRODs after being blocked (see [10]). The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 00:22, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Contaldo80 aggressively violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding his contentious commentary and personal analysis into articles.

User:Contaldo80 repeatedly admits that he doesn't understand Cardinal Sarah's remarks, but insists on summarizing the remarks in the lead, reverting contributions from both myself and other editors. [26] [27] [28]

User:Contaldo80's rewording that Cardinal Sarah "is also a critic of ... the growth of LGBT rights" is a biased misrepresentation. Instead of misrepresenting the subject to readers, the cardinal's own words should be used to describe his position, without the peanut gallery's misrepresentation. If User:Contaldo80 insists on adding a nutshell summary of the cardinal's remarks, it should be that Cardinal Sarah is a critic of the threats to family and a promoter of chastity.

Of course -- it would be whichever edit added the paragraphs in question. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 14:13, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

That seems quite an extreme interpretation, although if you can point me to policy/precedent that any content removal is counted as a revert then I will take a look. That said, I can see the edits are tendentious. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:21, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Comments:

Belovaci is using WP:SYNTHESIS and original research to arrive at the conclusion that Tom Monaghan and Ray Kroc are autodidacts, that they are self-taught. None of the sources cited by Belovaci have ever said that these guys are autodidacts or self-taught. Instead Belovaci has determined that they are autodidacts by some personal calculus having to do with some reduced amount of schooling combined with success in business. However, Monaghan completed high school, and Kroc was taught classical piano in addition to attending about half his high school years. The main point is that Belovaci's sources do not use the term "autodidact" or the companion term "self-taught" for either of these guys. Binksternet (talk) 06:15, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

I gave the editor a chance to self-revert with this message, and the editor responded with this comment. RockMagnetist(talk) 22:57, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

1. No breach of 3RR (which needs FOUR reverts);
2. Trying to warn someone of something on your own page (where it wasn't seen until you added the diff here) is no warning at all;
3. Trying to claim you are justified by a "discussion" when none took place is no basis for making fundamental changes to a template that appears on numerous pages. – SchroCat (talk) 23:14, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Comment ANI is not there for getting editors out of the way that object to changes. As SchroCat points out infobox alterations affect many articles so there needs to be a solid consensus for them. There hasn't been a technical violation so this report should be closed down and I suggest that RockMagnetist posts a neutral notice at the associated Wikiprojects to get further input at the discussion. Betty Logan (talk) 23:39, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

• Comment My apologies for misinterpreting the 3RR rule. However, Betty Logan should be aware that I did post neutral notices at the two most closely associated WikiProjects, as I pointed out on the talk page, and waited a week for a response. I made a reasonable effort to start a discussion, and this editor has no right to insist that I wait a couple of days for a proper argument. Since three reverts are allowed, I will use mine. RockMagnetist(talk) 00:25, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

It is unfortunate that there was not enough interest to resolve the dispute. However, per WP:NOCONSENSUS the convention is that the status quo is retained when a discussion fails to resolve a dispute. Perhaps you could try WP:3O or if that fails file an WP:RFC? Editing disputes should not be resolved by editors trying to game 3RR either. Betty Logan (talk) 00:32, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

• Its staggeringly petulant to bring a case here, find out that the limit is four reverts and then think that "allows" you to revert your controversial template change without discussion. I'm disgusted by your new, third revert: it shows contempt for any other opinion but your own, and for the consensus-building process. Are you so stubbornly determined to get your own way that you will ignore the fact that there was no discussion at all, and have forced your changes through with no fucking discussion at all? – SchroCat (talk) 00:29, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
• @RockMagnetist: WP:3RR is clear in that it's not permission to revert up to three times. Editors can and will be blocked for edit warring even without breaking that rule. Use the talk page instead. clpo13_(talk) 00:33, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

To make it clear to all party's involved 4 reverts is not an entitlement and you can be found to be edit warring even if you are under that. In my opinion both of you have been edit warring. HighInBC 00:32, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

• Comment: WP:Edit warring is forbidden. WP:3RR is just a bright-line rule, which does not make less-than-four-reverts edit warring allowed. In fact, I'd say limiting oneself to three reverts but purposefully "using up all three" goes very much against the intended spirit. Don't do that. LjL (talk) 00:33, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

• Nice try but not a valid report. The reporting editor has been violating WP:POINT by reinserting content irrelevant to the article and edit warring over it. This report is retaliation for removal of said content. Discussion has been attempted at the article talk page and two warnings regarding edit-warring behavior have been left at their talk page here and here. Looks like a candidate for WP:BOOMERANG to me. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 19:53, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

And yet you reverted 3 times I did not. The contribution is quite relevant and your removal is illogical, and completely unexplained. I attempted to talk with you on the talk page but you just talk about some edit war, and nothing about the actual text. Stay on point and don't make this into some personal war, your behavior is inappropriate. Ariel. (talk) 20:02, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

It seems you have a lack of understanding regarding WP:UNDUE. Please read policy on it so you can better see why the content you insist on inserting is not appropriate for the article. My comments at the article talk page are quite "on point". It's not my fault you are employing WP:IDHT. And yes, your behavior has shown an edit warring intent. Wikipedia is not a WP:BATTLEGROUND. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 20:08, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

You seriously believe that the POV of the Jewish religion has an undue weight on the Bible? Ariel. (talk) 20:21, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

The article you keep inserting the content into isn't about Judaism or the Bible. And that's precisely why said content is inappropriate and irrelevant to the article and simply doesn't belong there. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 20:24, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

I have not inserted an article into the content. What in the world are you talking about? I inserted two dates and referenced the first date with a link, and that link is about Judaism AND the Bible, and the second is referenced to the pyramids, which is what this section is about. You are seriously making no sense to me, I don't mean to be insulting, I really don't, but what you said really makes no sense. Ariel. (talk) 20:32, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

It appears that maybe there is a language barrier here? (if not, my apologies for assessing the situation incorrectly)

• I said you keep inserting content into the Ben Carson article, not that you are inserting an article into the content.
• The content you are adding is not pertinent to Ben Carson, the article subject. The article is about the man -- you keep trying to add content that is not about, nor directly related to, the current content or the man.
• The section in the article is not about the pyramids, it is about Ben Carsons believe regarding the construction of the pyramids.
• Because he has never said he bases his beliefs (either for or against) on what you keep inserting, said content is even more inappropriate for the article and equates undue weight. Please read that linked article for a better understanding.

I can see what I have said makes no sense to you - as you pointed out. That said, hopefully this explanation will help you make sense of why the content you have been edit warring over should not be in the Carson article. If any other editors want to take a stab at explanation, feel free to jump in. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 20:43, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

I understand what you said now, but I very much disagree. The section (not article! Section) in question is about Ben Carson's beliefs. He is a Christian, and contrary to what you said he has mentioned his beliefs many times, so yes, he does believe in the dates I have listed. Therefor they are quite relevant to that section.

You have violated the 3 reverts rule, how about instead of waiting to be blocked, you self revert your revert and self impose a ban on yourself on that page. Let other editors weigh in on the topic, and you stay out of it except on the talk page. Ariel. (talk) 20:54, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

"yes, he does believe in the dates I have listed." Do you have a reliable source that supports he has a) talked about those dates and says he believe in them, b) supports the content you keep adding back in, and/or c) proves the content is relevant to the article and the section in the article? "You have violated the 3 reverts rule" No, I didn't violate it. I reverted three times. If I were to revert more than three times, then I would be in violation of 3RR. "how about instead of waiting to be blocked" I see no valid reason why I would be blocked over a non-violation. "self revert your revert and self impose a ban on yourself on that page." No, that's not going to happen. I know it would make you happy and be convenient for you, but there's nothing to justify such a suggestion. "Let other editors weigh in on the topic, and you stay out of it except on the talk page." That's really not how things work here. Especially not in this instance. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 21:16, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

• Warned — Technically not a breach of the three-revert rule, but is certainly within the American Politics discretionary sanctions. I should also note that I find it odd that Winkelvi threw two different templated edit warring warnings at Ariel while still engaging in edit warring himself anyway. --slakr^\ talk / 07:23, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

I find it odd you would throw a DS warning at me while ignoring the obvious boomerang that should have been given to the filer and/or not putting the same DS warning on the filer's talk page. Not to mention this filing is stale, and you didn't notice that, either. Indeed, since the filer and myself have obviously been talking here, nothing more has happened at the article at the hands of the filer or myself, the warning on my talk page is not only strange and way after the fact, but seems more punitive (as a badge of shame) than preventative of anything. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 08:19, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Notice of this discussion [64]

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:

I have made considerable efforts to discuss these changes and reverts as well as my concerns with Scoobydunk but I have found the discussions to be hostile, indicative of a [wp:battleground] behavior. Here is a talk section I started on Oct 28th, after some of Scoobydunk's earlier reverts without a talk page discussion [65]. An additional section on Nov 3rd [66]. Finally, an attempt smooth things over on Scoobydunk's talk page: [67]. On the talk page I asked that he revert his last edit as a show of good faith and because it was a 3RR violation. This request was refused.

Comments:
Scoobydunk has a [wp:battleground] attitude towards those he disagrees with. In August he was attacking an actual historian who was contributing to the article (not OR) [68] and the reaction [69]. He accused me of lying on the article talk page [Here is an example of the same battleground behavior with respect to an admin he disagreed with.[70] He has exhibited this same battleground attitude towards administrators [71],[72],[73]

Overall his battleground mentality and edit warring and talk page WP:BLUDGEONing makes producting editing and consensus building virtually impossible. Springee (talk) 21:50, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

I'd like to point out the dishonesty in how Springee presents his accusations. He first list 4 reverts, however, the 4th revert is actually a consecutive edit with the 3rd, and therefore count as a single revert as described by WP:3RR policy which says "A series of consecutive saved revert edits by one user with no intervening edits by another user counts as one revert." I informed Springee of this on my talk page, yet he still intentionally misrepresents the information here.

Next, his first diff in the next section is not a "revert" of a particular edit. I rewrote the introductory paragraph, adding in new sources and removing less reliable sources, which is something that was requested on the talk page. We had discussed improving introduction paragraphs for multiple sections, so I wrote a stronger introduction paragraph. That's not a revert, it's an original edit. The rest of his diffs do not show a violation of 3RR, and only speak to this arbitrary 4 day timeline. Now, I'm sure some people will my actions and Springee's as being "edit warring" and I think that's fair. However, i ask that you read the boomerang response below and see the the common factor in these reversions over the last 2 weeks is, indeed, Springee and see that he's the one who's engaged in edit warring when the DRN noticeboard and talk discussions didn't go his way.Scoobydunk (talk) 22:32, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Boomerang for Springee

I think the fact that Springee has levied a variety of irrelevant personal attacks against me, speaks to the type of behavior I and others have had to endure as a result of his tendentious editing. I too could go on at length about Springee's tendentious editing and multiple instances of Wikihounding, but this is the edit warring noticeboard, so let's stick to the edit warring accusations.

I have, at no point, violated Wikipedia's strict 3RR rule and have operated well within Wikipedia's explicitly stated policies. This is not true for Springee who has been edit warring and has violated WP's strict 3RR rule.

1. Nov. 4 1:51[74] this was a partial revert of my November 2nd edit [75]
2. Nov. 4 5:51[76]
3. Nov. 4 7:26[77] and [78]
4. Nov. 4 16:17[79]

On top of Springee's violation of the 3RR rule, he's been reverting the edits of multiple users. He's reverted Mastcell[80], fyddlestix[81], and myself all in the period of the last 2 weeks, regarding the same subject matter. He's the common factor in all of the revisions. I'd also like to add that the content that Springee has been engaged in edit warring were originally posted to the article by me. He's been aggressively attempting to remove peer reviewed reliable sources and remove mention of "majority viewpoint" from the text, to push his own POV. We did go to the talk page to discuss the content and have gone through the DRN NOR noticeboard. When both of those didn't work out in Springee's favor, he said "We are clearly at the point of pointlessness."[82]. Notice how that's about 30 minutes before Springee began his most recent edit warring campaign. Springee is the originator of this edit war, trying to remove information from the article that doesn't fit his POV. I'd also like to emphasize another example. After I added in a new paragraph discussing the majority view in scholarship, Springee insisted on expanding a quote from Matthew Lassiter [83], then a few days later Springee removes the entire Lassiter quote and source from the paragraph for the reason of "reducing the length". So he intentionally made it longer, then removed it entirely because it was too long. I mean, come on.[84]. ThenScoobydunk (talk) 22:21, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

• Comment - A thread was pending at the original research noticeboard. Then these two editors brought their dispute to the dispute resolution noticeboard, where the thread was waiting for a moderator and for closure of the NORN thread. As a DRN volunteer, I have now closed the DRN thread because this is also pending here as a conduct dispute. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:56, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
• Comment The "4th revert" cited by Scoobydunk is not a revert but correcting a citation tag. Scoobydunk used the "book" template for a journal paper citation. I corrected the citation formatting. This in no way changed the content of the article any more than correcting a spelling mistake. Springee (talk) 23:50, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

In response, 3RR is very clear on allowable exceptions and Springee's revert is not listed among those exceptions. People do dispute about how sources should be represented within the article, so reference reversions are not omitted from counting as a revert. This is still considered a revert in part of another editor. Furthermore WP:3rr clearly states "If you are claiming an exemption, make sure there is a clearly visible edit summary or separate section of the talk page that explains the exemption. When in doubt, do not revert. Instead, engage in dispute resolution, and in particular ask for help at relevant noticeboards such as the Edit war/3RR noticeboard." Springee did not claim that this revert was an exception, or ask that it be treated as an exception. Furthermore, Springee did not only change the source in the reference from "book" to "journal", but he also removed the specific page that the material in the article references, and replaced it with the page numbers of the entire article. I don't contest correcting it to a journal source, but I do contest with listing all article pages, when the part used in the WP article specifically references a passage from page 132. This allows users to find it more easily. Unlike Springee, I didn't revert his edit because it would be a violation of 3RR.Scoobydunk (talk) 00:03, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

• Comment The above accusation I think illustrates my concerns. Any perceived transgression is considered in the most negative light possible. Rather than thanking me for fixing a bad citation or just adding the overlooked page number an accusation of malice is made. Another example of the hostile editing and talk page environment created by Scoobydunk is knowingly misrepresenting statements by others. I mistakenly commented about a source due to an error on my part. I found an article with the same title but by different authors. I issued a correction once this was pointed out. That correction was ignored when my original statement, the one in error, was quoted as proof of my position on a subject after I issued the retraction. Knowingly misrepresenting statements by others is a violation of WP:IUC. Details here [85].

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: I'm not involved in the dispute; none of the two edit warring users have used the talk page while edit warring in today and yesterday.

Comments:

Having Jews on my watch list, I saw that both users have reverted each other. WP:ARBPIA applies to a "the entire range of articles concerning the Arab-Israeli conflict"; as the origins of the Jews is a common issue in this conflict, it applies to this edit war, with its very strict 1RR ruling. Jeppiz (talk) 00:06, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

I think that is a stretch of WP:ARBPIA which was never intended, nor do I believe it to be factually correct in the case of the edits under discussion. For sure, neither Jeffgr9 or I had even the vaguest connection with the PI-conflict in mind. In this context I'd like to point out that there is a reason there is no WP:1RR warning on the talkpage of Jews.

I propose informing Jeppiz, as the editor who opened this report, that he should not report experienced editors based on novel interpretations of WP:ARBPIA without first checking if the edits unambiguously fall within WP:ARBPIA's scope. I find it unpleasant to be dragged to noticeboards without good reason. Debresser (talk) 06:40, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Two comments. First, I did not write ARBPIA but I don't think it's much of a "stretch" to apply it to Jews. The article is very strongly related to "Palestina-Israel articles", and the users editing it most frequently are exactly the same users editing other articles related to the topic. Few articles are as fought over by the users involved in the ARBPIA domain as Jews. Second, Debresser might find it "unpleasant" to be here, especially after eight previous blocks, but that is not a reason for the above violation of WP:NPA. Whether I was right or wrong, I was uninvolved in the conflict and reported both users. For Debresser to call that "malicious prosecution" is strange. Reporting only one user would have been strange, I fail to see the alleged "malicious prosecution". Jeppiz (talk) 09:51, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

I'd like to point out that only 1 of those blocks was recent. Making mention of all my blocks (in 8 years of active editing, including in the minefield of the IP-conflict), is poisoning the well. By the way, that block was precisely because of 1RR, and since I have been much more careful. In any case, I think WP:ARBPIA is really too remotely connected to the specific edits in question, and even the general question of the origins of the Jews I have not met in WP:ARBPIA-related discussions, either here on Wikipedia or outside. Debresser (talk) 12:40, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Well, there's no reason to argue about it. Either (A) WP:ARBPIA covers Jews or (B) WP:ARBPIA doesn't cover Jews. In case A, there is blockable edit warring, in case B, it is not. While I'd surprised if it weren't (especially given how the edit history looks), tt would be good to get confirmation. Jeppiz (talk) 13:01, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, Jeppiz. It seems that the 3RR rule still applies to the WP:ARBPIA as it does to all, if not most, topics. I understand the concern about warring. I also understand this issue does not just concern myself and Debresser, there are at least a few other editors involved in making these most recent changes. Either way, for this particular set of recent changes, neither Debresser (to my knowledge), nor I violated the 3RR.

The issue of the origins of Jews is indeed touchy and inherently related to the Arab-Israeli conflict; however, when sourced facts directly define the origins of Jews, especially as it relates to converts to Judaism, there should be no dispute. In this case, the general origins of Jews and the Jewish culture are from Israel/the Levant/the Middle East/etc. It is the reason why Jews were/have been persecuted for thousands of years in Europe (from the Greeks, to the Spanish Inquisition to the Romans, to the Visigoths), the Arab League and the Ottoman and Muslim (e.g. Mamluk) Empires, Africa (i.e. the persecutions of the Igbo, the Lemba, Beta Israel, Abayudaya, etc.), and the Americas (the Ku Klux Klan, redlining of Jewish districts, forced expulsions, slander in the media, etc.).

Jewish survival through these persecutions contributes a great deal to Jewish culture and definition. In regards to the Arab-Israeli conflict, the origins of Jews very much relates because many Arabs/Arab leaders neither want Jews in power in the Middle East nor do they want Jews to lay claim to any historically Jewish monuments, narratives, or properties. This is evident in recent news events: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4712189,00.html . Jewish prophets have been claimed by many non-Jewish peoples, especially those of Christianity and Islam; Jews are not allowed to proselytize, whereas Christianity and Islam initially functioned to act as political, socioeconomic control systems for the Roman and Arab regimes, respectively. This difference between Judaism and Christianity/Islam is essential——the majority of converts to Judaism "join the tribe" because they feel their soul, identity, etc. aligns with that of the Jews; they believe in Israel as both a people as well as the Land of Israel as the origin of the Jewish people. Christianity, as a whole, used to have that tribal distinction, but it was to the European Empires (Roman, Spanish, British, Russian, German, etc.); Islam always had that tribal distinction, but it was to the Arab Empires, especially centered in Saudi Arabia, where Muhammad was born and the Kaaba is located.

The point is that many Jews who have converted have in fact assimilated to Jewish culture, but people should neither confuse the places in which diasporic Jews have settled, nor the origins of Jewish "converts," for replacing the true origin of Jews/Judaism in Israel/the Levant/the Middle East. Jews have always called to return to the land of Israel (Zion), and Jerusalem. It is inherent in Jewish ethnocultural (or ethnoreligious) identity. Look at the Kurds, they share the same distinction and similar persecution.

Let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you.Jeffgr9 (talk) 13:27, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

• Nominator comment It would seem Jeffgr9 and Debresser are right and that I was mistaken in believing Jews to be WP:ARBPIA. I was in good faith, and I think it's a glaring omission that the article is not covered, but that is a different matter. As it would appear that the article currently isn't under ARBPIA, I withdraw the nomination of both users and apologize for the misunderstanding. Jeppiz (talk) 13:40, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

User reverted my changes four times in a 48-hour period (he waited until the 24 hour period was over to revert again).

TonyStarks (talk) 18:05, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Reply: User clearly lacks interpretation. I provided sources to back up my edits, while he had none even with me asking for it through edit summaries and through messages in his talk page (which I got nothing but another revert as a response) until today, which he started a WT:FOOTY discussion and was in an extreme rush to see me blocked. User clearly wants to WP:OWN the page only because he edits Algerian football-related pages. MYS77 ^✉ 22:08, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Funny that you mention WP:OWN when your messages on my talk page are the following: "You edited the guy once or twice a year, while I was the one who bring all the info together. Show some respect, please." and "RESPECT, R-E-S-P-E-C-T other people's work. When he leaves Spain (and only WHEN), then you can call him whatever they'll call him in other countries. Until that, he's known as RACHID and will stay that way." To me, that sounds like you're the one that wants to own the page, as you put in the work so it's your way or the highway. TonyStarks (talk) 00:12, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Strange, isn't it? I asked for sources, and you only provided it when creating a discussion at WT:FOOTY. Why you didn't bring me the sources instead of doing unsourced reverts? You were the one asking for all of this. MYS77 ^✉ 01:56, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

The majority of edits by [User:Scjessey] are political related removing content edits, under the false pretense of removing "vandalism". Bongey (talk) 08:29, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Spurious, bad report by a new editor who recently showed up to the page to advocate some partisan political positions.[102] This page has been the subject of a lot of rapid editing by a number of editors, many of whom seem to be trying to promote WP:NOT#NEWS-style scandalous material about this presidential candidate (and hence, many to most proposed additions being reverted by one editor or another). The diffs show three two different reverts, not four, each on a different part of the article — whereas the reporter has joined an edit war and done 2RR on the same section.[103][104] Whether the reported edits count as one or three two reverts is a technical question due to the timing of intermediate edits, so it is questionable, but in no case do they appear to try to repeat a reversion. It would be helpful, though, if an administrator came in and gave some editors cautions about discretionary sanctions that apply to the article. - Wikidemon (talk) 09:28, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page

[114]

Comments:

The recent talk is only the latest in a lot of talk I've done on the page, as you can see in the whole discussion - [115]

Here is the talk where I tried previously, at length to compromise with popcornduff [116]

When he didn't respond to these attempts to compromise on the talk page, I opened a dispute resolution here: [117]

I tried to explain my positions in the noticeboard, but to me, popcornduff put only as much energy into it as necessary to make it look like he was participating. It didn't go anywhere, nothing was resolved, and the moderator gave no concluding thoughts or any suggestions.

Near the end of the dispute, here is what I wrote to the moderator: "I'd be interested in what you have to say, but I fear you might simply say that, in the absence of consensus it should just remain the way it is, or it shouldn't include any language more complex than it has now. But there's a few problems with that. One, is that the language I'm interested in using is not against policy; there are no rules against using "weasel words" and "purple prose." Two, there are other issues we haven't gotten to here; Popcornduff says language I've used is purple prose, I say it's not (and I'd be happy to say more about that). But the biggest problem is with being able to make any improvements to the plot summary at all. Popcornduff wrote the original summary, and he seems to me to be blocking anyone else from making any substantial changes. S/he's reverted many, many editors, and while many of the reverts I would probably agree with, he seems willing to edit war where others aren't. So if one editor protects their own editing, then how can a WP page ever improve? For an obscure movie like this, I don't think there's ever going to be some troupe of like-minded editors who show up on the talk page at the same time and demand the same changes."

Here are places where popcornduff has removed things I've written on an entirely different page -

1. [118]
2. [119]
3. [120]

There are also instances where I have corrected basic errors on WP, and popcornduff has reverted them (after I explained the errors he has gone back to fix it, but in his words, not mine). [121]

Popcornduff engages in liberal reverting on other sites I've happened to edit, but I might be the only one who has called him on this. Most editors probably never noticed he has reverted them, but some other editors have tried undoing his reverts of them, or talking to him, but he often keeps reverting until they get frustrated and go away, such as here -

1. [122]
2. [123]

These are just a few of the many, many undos he's done on Under the Skin and elsewhere. But if I've randomly bumped into these few, I can imagine how many other sites he must be engaging in this behavior on. Personally I think most of his reverts and excisions that I've seen are good, and that he does protect many sites from illegitimate and unproductive additions. Before My first edit of Under the Skin was ill advised, and my first points on the talk page were overbearing, and I’m sure this did not help the situation, but now I wish he would stop reverting me and taking out my edits. Popcornduff is a much, much more dedicated, prolific, and decorated editor than me, but the two of us are enmeshed in a long term power struggle. Capuchinpilates (talk) 01:57, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

On the Under the Skin page in question, in the last 18 months popcornduff has made 191 edits, 80 of which were where he cut more than he added, of which most of those I suspect, but do not know for sure, he was cutting other editors materials, such as mine. He hit the undo button 34 times, of which a few were back and forth reverts with another editor, including me. Capuchinpilates (talk) 18:42, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

By being archived I hope this report has not been permanently shelved. If the administrator is concerned that maybe popcornduff was not notified, I notified popcornduff on Sunday at the same time I filed the report, by writing on his talk page, and he replied to the same day. Can I please get a result to this? Capuchinpilates (talk) 03:53, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Today, a week after filing this report, popcornduff (PCD) removed a number of my edits, for the second time, on a totally different page (Ex Machina (film), including these edits: The edits of mine PCD took out today were: 1) "high-security" 2) "Each day Caleb talks with her, then later discusses the results with Nathan" 3) "one android breaks off its forearms by banging against the wall, demanding to be released." 4) "At their next meeting, Ava cuts the power and Caleb tells her his plan" 5) "The next day Nathan declines to drink" 6) "but is fatally stabbed by Ava."

Here is the first time PCD excised a number of my edits on the Ex Machina page: [124] The second time [125] Then I re-added some of the edits PCD had taken out [126] with the edit summary - "re-added a few details I had previously added on 8/29, that had been taken out on 9/1. See talk:Caleb's Fate."

Then today PCD took out many for the second time [127] Also, one the edits he changed today, was one that he changed before, I let him know here on talk that it was not accurate [128] . He says ok, I’ll change it, but PCD merely exchanges one word for a similar one, leaving it again inaccurate [129]. I change it back to the accurate version [130], then today, with no talk or explanation, PCD changes it back again to the inaccurate version [131]

PCD edit summary of today's edit is "plot bloat," and his edit brought the plot down to 459 words from 599, taking out many different editors work. WP policy recommends plot summaries of 400-700 words. Given this is a complex, dramatic movie, enforcing a word count below 500 is not necessary, and is passive edit warring (something I myself have been guilty of as well).

I am making the (I believe) very reasonable assumption that these two IPv6s are the same editor.

LjL (talk) 19:10, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Note that Millennials and Generation Z had to be protected last week because of edit warring from an IPv6 IP address ignoring 3RR warnings. I'd already requested temporary semi-protection of baby boomers, since this seems to be the same person. --McGeddon (talk) 20:03, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

McGeddon it seems like a conflict of interest to request a lock and then continue to edit the Generation Z page at-will. Especially since the lock was for an extra long time (11/4 to 11/11). Do you see how that appears to others?2606:6000:610A:9000:8547:5B6E:711:E5E2 (talk) 20:29, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

A WP:Conflict of interest? Have you read that page? Because it says something completely different. Requesting page protection and then editing is patently not a conflict of interest. Let me ask you though, what do you think hopping IPs and edit warring on them is, apart from - obviously - the thing that causes pages to get protected in the first place? LjL (talk) 20:33, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

I'm bringing up a different issue than what is on that page. Outside of the walls of Wikipedia people do care about conflict of interests. We have been talking about the disputed issue for days on the talk page, the page was requested to be unlocked and the locking editor apparently did not take the time to consider that the disputes were being talked out meanwhile McGeddon still gets to edit the page at-will. 2606:6000:610A:9000:8547:5B6E:711:E5E2 (talk) 20:40, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Well uhm maybe you shouldn't have edit warred? It's pretty normal that when an editor breaches 3RR they get blocked, or, in this case, since you're IP hopping, pages get protected; and then, other editors can and do keep editing. Consider following Wikipedia policies when editing, maybe... LjL (talk) 21:03, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Absolutely agree about following Wikipedia policies. The page should be unlocked immediately though. 2606:6000:610A:9000:8547:5B6E:711:E5E2 (talk) 21:20, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

It's not clear-cut vandalism since they actually created an article about an existing product... but I have just proposed it for deletion on the basis of lack of notability, and I'm seeing other articles speedy deletion has been filed for: they seem to make articles that are just short of hoaxes (existing but extremely minor things, "sources" being Amazon product pages, and so on).

John Nagle (talk) 23:01, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

To be honest, I looked at that, from a behavioral standpoint I did not think it was the same editor. This one gave a name on my talk page, and looks like a low-level sales person who moves between department stores. Perhaps a little conflict of interest, but the not kind that replaced the "History" section with "A Legendary Company" Scr★pIron^IV 23:21, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

I find the edit summary of 20:23, 11 November 2015 (UTC) "revert. WP:Vandalism" very worrying as it is a blatant misstatement of the truth (which is that no WP:Vandalism took place at all). I had previously warned Stolichanin about misapplying the term "vandalism", so they must have been aware of this when they used the term again to justify their edit warring. Nevertheless, I have warned them again to the same effect. LjL (talk) 21:03, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

There has also been a spate of edit warring at John Bickley (UKIP) and over the last couple of days at Jim McMahon (politician), the latter leading to an exceptionally long discussion on the article talk page. In the case of Oldham West, consensus does not favour Mabelina's edits, and yet they have persisted in making them. Frinton100 (talk) 00:50, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: No warning for edit warring was necessary. See the user's block log for their two previous blocks for edit warring or the previous times they've been brought to this edit warring noticeboard.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: See above, but there is a discussion going on at the talk page, see here where the user directly states "Oh and BTW, the only one that was in danger of being in violation of 3RR was you." in an exchange with another editor, clearly demonstrating the user's lack of understanding our edit warring policy, being that three reverts were made a little over a 30 hour period, coming from an editor who has a history of edit warring problems. The idea in their head seems to be "as long as I don't revert more than 3 times, I'm not doing anything wrong" and we're only hurting ourselves here if we let that mentality continue to brew.

Comments:
I've said just about everything up above. The user doesn't understand the edit warring policy and perhaps a longer block than last time would be helpful as well as a 1RR restriction upon return from a block. They're well aware that there is an edit war going on and that they're a part of it, but continue to revert other editors while dancing around the magic number 3 and the 24 hour period they know would be grounds for an immediate block. Also feel free to see here where I approached the admin who blocked this editor twice this year and the editor's reply there was all about me "having it out for them" and admitting to getting into edit wars due to a "passion for what [they are] contributing to". Overall damaging to Wikipedia and its' editors to let someone with this mindset continue editing this way. Gloss 22:00, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Again, the user Gloss has a personal vendetta against me, and I don't, for the life of me, know why. For what's it's worth I am seizing editing the article in question ([[American Horror Story: Hotel]) for the time being. I regret the fact that the situation escalated to this point. I highly recommend Gloss' own behaviour/edit history be closely evaluated. They are one of the top tier instigators on this site. LLArrow (talk) 22:35, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Not sure what behavior of mine you believe needs to be evaluated, but I'll refrain from commenting here again unless further explanations are requested by an admin. Gloss 05:44, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Your behaviour of aimlessly taking other users that "wrong" you to task needs to be seriously considered as disruptive. I fail to see how you significantly contribute to Wikipedia, other than serving as an ubiquitous, self serving policeman. LLArrow (talk) 18:03, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

This behaviour is concerning but not sure we have a smoking gun here. Three reverts and not all within 24 hours. LLArrow is advised that a block would not be inappropriate here, but as they have now disengaged I suspect a block at this point would be regarded as punitive. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:49, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Perhaps they have been censored by some inimical power? Juan Riley (talk) 01:54, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

I count four revisions over a few days, including one of Gob Lofa's characteristically misleading edit summaries saying 'see talk' when there is yet no agreement on the talk page. Gob Lofa has a combative attitude to any edit which is reverted and a habit of not engaging on the talk page but simply asking what s/he obviously thinks are clever questions instead. We also have long term edit wars in which s/he will simply wait a month or so then reinstitute . For example here where s/he reinstates a contested edit on the 10th Sept, it is reverted again then a wait and on the 29th October the edit is reinstated with the "as discussed' misleading edit summary again. We similar behaviour and misleading edit summaries ("Already discussed") at Martina Anderson and many other articles. All of this is often over very minor edits, although Gob Lofa also has a habit of removing words like terrorism (that seems to have subsided in the last month or so). So this may not have been properly reported and a full warning was not given, but an experienced admin really needs to take a look at the overall behaviour of an editor with a WP:POV and WP:BATTLEGROUND approach to Northern Ireland articles. ----Snowded ^TALK 07:31, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

User:Icarus of old reported by User:194.145.208.20 (Result: stale)

Guys, I'm having a serious problem here: I've tried editing this page's IPA following Wikipedia rules about Italian phonetic transcription and linking a more than clear example too (ref-8). The matter is the phonetic transcription of the labiodental nasal /ɱ/: as said in both pages, a nasal (N, M) before a labiodental fricative (F, V) is always a labiodental nasal (/ɱ/). Incredible, uh? The example used in the 2nd page for Italian is iNVece, where the sequence 'NV' is phonetically transcripted /ɱv/. It's the same, identic case of iNFamante (except that, ovbiously, the fricative is F instead of V).

BUT there's a but: mr. Icarus of old doesn't agree. Both with me and with en.wiki. He's keeping reverting my edits since yesteday. He asked me to provide sources: I did it. I wrote civilly on his talk page, trying explaining why he was wrong. He undid my edits, came on my talk page and wrote first quite politely and then quite rudely also because English is not my mother language (I bet he can speak franco-provençal better than me...).

He keeps saying that en.wiki cannot be a source for itself... But this is not about sources: in such provided pages is indicated 'how' to represent the phonetical transcription of Italian. For example, to represent the Italian sounds written ZZ ('aZZurro') it's not used this sequence /d͡ːz/ but this one /ddz/. And this isn't even exactly the matter: because there's no issue about the phonetic transcription of /ɱ/, it's just /ɱ/, period. It's not /n/, it's not /m/, it's /ɱ/. What do we have to discuss about? I really don't understand...

And, if he didn't cancel what I've written on his talk without first reading it, he could see the external source provided by me, the same source cited on the 2nd page I linked: Journal of the International Phonetic Association - Italian - Cambridge Journals Online. Not the newspaper my dog stole from the old woman who lives in the house next to mine: the 'Journal of the International Phonetic Association - Italian - Cambridge Journals Online'. He just has to buy it, or even just read it for 4.49 €, if he can't trust my surced words.

What can I do? Anyone can help me with this nuisance? I don't know how to behave, I don't want to go against wikipedian rules, I've stopped reverting his edits because he called a friend who can keep reverting for him so that he doesn't appear to be edit warring nor going against the 3 revert rule... Please, tell me what to do, I've provided all the information I could to explain my point, to explain why /ɱ/ is correct while /m/ and /n/ aren't. Please, answer soon, anyone! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.145.208.20 (talk) 19:39, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

I was not informed of this by the IP user, as is made clear at the top of the page, nor did I "call a friend" to help out. Icarus of old (talk) 19:50, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: [200]

I am not involved in this edit war, but Christo1234 (whose edits Mimi C. reverted four times in 95 minutes) did try to resolve this dispute on the article talk page. Here's the diff of his/her attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [201]

Christo1234 posted that at 20:39, which was 9 minutes before Mimi C.'s 3rd revert.

At 20:44 (four minutes before Mimi C.'s 3nd revert) Christo1234's edit comment asked Mimi C. to "please see talk page" to discuss their argument: [202]

The section Christo1234 created is still there; Unfortunately, Mimi C. did not reply (neither did anyone else): [203]

Comments:

What troubles me most is the way that Mimi C. treated an inexperienced editor. I don't know either of these editors, but Christo1234 rarely edits on Wikipedia. This was the first time (s)he had edited in nearly a year. He or she only edited on one day in 2014, and two days in 2013.

Everyone on Wikipedia should be treated courteously, but inexperienced editors especially so, to encourage them to contribute. Instead, Mimi C. repeatedly reverted Christo1234's well-intentioned edits (four times in just 95 minutes), ignored his or her entreaty to discuss it on the Talk page, accused him or her of disruptive editing and vandalism, and threatened him or her with blocking.

Wikipedia should be a friendly place. That was not friendly. That's the sort of treatment which causes editors to abandon Wikipedia for long periods of time. NCdave (talk) 06:41, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

From my POV: (note, this is concerning the Ben Carson article where conflicting stories were being reported about him throughout the day, causing confusion among editors).

At the time, I found Christo1234's edits were unsubstantiated due to lack of proper references, his POV was biased towards the subject matter (which goes against the neutrality rules of Wikipedia) and quite a few grammar and punctuation issues were found in his sentences. I looked up his history and found that he had barely made any edits over the years. I had kindly asked him to please read Wikipedia rules. When Christo kept reverting back to his own erred edits, I had deduced (perhaps erroneously), that he was a troll which is why I sent out the (TW) Wikipedia Warnings of blocking to deter him from further editing, which he eventually did. I then received a note from NCdave, whom I don't know, and who was not involved in the edit war. I decided not to respond and went ahead and cleared my talk page (which I regularly do - I'm assuming I'm allowed to since it's my own?). I apologize if my actions appeared abrupt and I will be more patient and responsive in the future with editors. After being an editor for a long time on Wikipedia, and seeing common trends and trying to decipher if the person is trolling or not, we tend to jump to conclusions too easily, and forget that once, we were once Wiki novices too, in need of patience as well. Again, my apologies. Regards, --Mimi C. (talk) 10:19, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

What are the criteria for dismissing a complaint as "stale?"

I'd like to have at least seen some assurance from Mimi C. that (s)he will strive to be gentler on inexperienced editors in the future. Instead, he complained that "[Christo1234's] POV was biased towards the subject matter (which goes against the neutrality rules of Wikipedia)."

That statement is manifestly false, because Christo1234's edits give no evidence of any bias for anything except truthfulness and even-handedness, and Mimi C.'s statement also shows that Mimi C. is still assuming bad faith on the part of Christo1234.

In fact, Mimi C.'s edits to the article -- not Christon1234's! -- repeatedly inserted already-discredited and poorly-sourced negative material, despite Christo1234's Talk page objections, such as the false accusation that "Carson's campaign conceded to Politico that he had never been offered a full scholarship."

Christo1234 complained, on the article Talk page, that "8) carson never "concedes" to politico anything, yet this word is then added to wiki story as fact and reverted to without explanation. / 7) the reversions being made by mimi c. do not contain any comments as to why, just reversions." Mimi C.'s response was no response, except to immediately reinsert the false material into the article.

I'd like to have seen some indication that Mimi C. will refrain from such behavior in the future, before dismissing the complaint as "stale." NCdave (talk) 18:18, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

User:Takafumi1 has been repeatedly removing {{refimprove}}, {{unreliable sources}}, {{page needed}}, {{not in ref}}, and other tags from Raja Raja Chola I.

Although they have't broken 3RR (yet), this user is edit-warring across multiple articles. This started when they attempted a cut & paste move of North Vietnamese parliamentary election, 1946 to 1946 Vietnamese National Assembly election. Once this was reverted, they have made multiple attempts to add dubious and biased ("unpatriotic Vietnamese") information to the article:

In addition to this, they have been repeatedly making inappropriate edits to {{Vietnamese elections}}, namely removing the pre-1946 elections (probably to back up their claim that the 1946 elections were the first in Vietnam), changing the link for the 1946 election to the title they cut & pasted the article to, and changing North Vietnam and South Vietnam to Democratic Republic of Vietnam and Republic of Vietnam, despite the fact that the latter two redirect to the former two:

2. Second attempt
3. Third attempt

Whilst this has been going on I have been attempting to get them to stop this and discuss (see User talk:Hanam190552#Cut & paste moves) but sadly it has not stopped them from continuing to cause problems on the articles.

Info/Background: This case has a LONG history; the user has been "camped out" on this article since 2013; their ONLY significant editing activity has been to remove uncomplimentary material from the article. Persistently. Repeatedly. With little or no rationale. The user isn't even pretending to be applying "BLP" anymore.

The user has removed material added by multiple users; over years. I only got into this thing by noticing the user's activity.

The user has gotten into multiple disputes & edit wars, with multiple users, over the years. The user has had 1 (& the same) sympathetic "buddy" backing him up in many of these; which has been sufficient to either "win" or at least keep them from being blocked from editing the article.

Talking to him hits a blank wall; been there, done that, more than once.

Opened yet another discussion on the article's talk page about it, no response; except to delete more material from the article, & I'm pretty sure the user is watching the talk page too.

The diffs are legion. Here is the article's history:

https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Edward_Furlong&action=history

If you do a word-search, "hillbillyholiday" comes up 27 times in the last 1000 edits. The overwhelming majority of those are for edits removing material (i.e.: material that is uncomplimentary to the subject). The only exceptions to this are a few additions of tags (to same type of content).

...& lets be clear: the factuality of the material IS NOT in serious dispute. ALL of this stuff is in the public record. It was said, it was done, etc. It is sourced & more sources are available; the range of sources being removed by this user negates any credible arguement of "RS". The edit-comments of the user range from moderately credible invocations of "RS" or "BLP" to point blank "WP:I don't like this".

This has been going on for long enough. We are pretty free & easy with swinging the hammers @ Wikimedia these days (protect, block, ban, etc.), & we've lost a lot of good people that way. This is a case where action is LONG overdue; it would be nice to see some action in a case that actually deserves it.

Addendum: If you look @ the user's overall contribs, this person also appears to be engaged in a minor campaign to eliminate any use of dailymail.co.uk as a source, from any article they come across.

actually i've been "here" since 2009, & i must have something like 15,000-25,000 edits "under my belt" by now, though more of them are @ wmc than @ wp/en; &, with all due respect, just because "for example, the Talk page history demonstrates both of these actions forever." -- that doesn't mean that it's a good thing. AND as i said in my post just above "i mentioned this action (ON the talkpage) in order to demonstrate 2 things: i) that the user is aware of the situation, & ii) that the user is uncommunicative/unresponsive/uncooperative (pick whatever term you like best, to describe it)."

i appreciate the advice; but a) we are off on a tangent from the actual issue here, this is about a user who is "whitewashing" a biographical article; obviously, & repeatedly. with impunity. & b) if the community process @ wikipedia is really SO broken that it can long longer fix a simple, obvious problem like this one, then i really don't need to be spending my time @ wikipedia anymore. i have already drastically cut the amount of time i spend editing @ wikimedia projects, because i've been really turned off by how BADLY "the system" is working now. i can find other things to do. i can find more productive, useful things to do. & i'm certainly not the only user who feels that way; it looks like even a lot of the "dedicated" admins are going. a lot of the boards seem pretty dead, compared to what they used to be like a few years ago.

...my complaint is about 'EDIT WARRING, NOT "3r" specifically. if you re-read my original post, you will find that i never even mentioned WP:3RR, JUST edit warring.

"Definition of edit warring

Edit warring is a behavior, typically exemplified by the use of repeated edits to "win" a content dispute. It is different than a bold, revert, discuss (BRD) cycle. Reverting vandalism and banned users is not edit warring; at the same time, content disputes, even egregious point of view edits and other good-faith changes do not constitute vandalism. Administrators often must make a judgment call to identify edit warring when cooling disputes. Administrators currently use several measures to determine if a user is edit warring."

"back in the day" this [230] used to count as an "edit war".

if we're NOT in an edit war, i'll just put the page back to the state it was in, before hillbillyholiday started chopping, AGAIN, & you can let me know when it counts as an edit war?

otherwise do i need to RE-FILE this complaint, or can we have another review of this one; preferably by a different admin?

Comments:
The edit war was started by User:Plokmijnuhbygvtfcdxeszwaq here. I tried to keep the page in its original state. User:Phoenix7777 refused to engage in a discussion, claiming that there has already been reached an agreement while there is no agreement at all.

Here is a discussion regarding the conflicting edits on the page: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Trans-Pacific_Partnership. I'm sorry that wikipedia's policy specifies that I can only try to preserve a page 3 times a day. Martinkunev (talk) 12:46, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

You are misunderstanding the word "agreement". The agreement means the TPP has been reached "agreement", not "controversial" reached agreement as I said "no consensus at all". So the word "proposed" is unnecessary.―― Phoenix7777 (talk) 12:53, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Whether the word "proposed" is appropirate is currently discussed in the talk. You removed the word "controversal" while there is an ongoing discussion whether it is appropriate. There have also been numerous tries to edit the article (I've mentioned some here) to make the agreement sound good (which violates NPOV). Martinkunev (talk) 13:16, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

• Warned — It doesn't appear Martinkunev has continued at the moment (since the edit warring warning). I have, on top of the warning, left a {{Alert}} for on their talk page. Feel free to update this or re-report if they continue. --slakr^\ talk / 13:31, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

I disagree with the warning. The only reason why I was warned is because at least three people were trying to change the page (the first one most likely not a genuine user) and I was the only one trying to keep its original content. Nobody bothered to engage in the already started discussion before making dubious changes. I was watching the page for more than a week in order to prevent vandalism. It's clear that some people's interests go against the objectivity of the article and there is evidence for such people (most notably User:CFredkin who has sockpuppeting history) making edits. Here are some examples:

[242] # 20:34, 7 November 2015 CFredkin . (83,816 bytes) (-1,839). (Undid revision 689508848 by C.J. Griffin (talk) after the last discussion in Talk, it was removed: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Talk:Trans-Pacific_Partnership#Lead_paragraph_does_not_indic)

There are several discussions related to this in the talk page.

The edit that started the war, was made by User:Plokmijnuhbygvtfcdxeszwaq which is likely a sockpuppet account. After my first revert, User:Phoenix7777 made the following change (which sounds very much like the last edit of User:CFredkin and just like it makes an invalid argument).

[243] # 14:39, 13 November 2015 Phoenix7777 . (86,941 bytes) (-23). (Undid revision 690444803 by Martinkunev (talk). no consensus at all. also as I said it has been reached agreement.)

I reverted the change, explaining that "there is no such agreement" and started a user talk discussion. User:DiscantX made the change again claiming that I have to justify myself. Finally, me and User:DiscantX discussed the issue. I explained to him that I was the one keeping the content under question unchanged (until a decision is reached at the talk) and he was the one changing it. He agreed on that ("Okay, you're right there").

User:Phoenix7777 never responded me in his user talk. At the end he accused me of violating the 3RR. As I said, I find his/her actions completely inappropriate.

I'm writing all this because I have done nothing wrong. I want to contribute to wikipedia and instead of doing that I'm forced to waste more than 8 hours of my time defending myself while I've done nothing wrong and in the process, I have to also waste other people's time.

At the end, the content of the page was changed (the word "controversial" was removed), without any discussion while there clearly are several opinions on the topic.

See also here and here for history of edit warring/disruptive editing. Mohsin17 does not have any interest in discussing as evident by the number of editors who Mohsin17 has been edit warring with on multiple pages. Instead he/she accuses the other editors of being for example racist or Islamophobic. I know List of slums in Pakistan and List of tallest buildings in Pakistan isn't as recent, but I'm including it just to highlight Mohsin's edit warring history.

User is a serial reverter and appears to suffer from WP:OWNERSHIP. Apparently on this article he wants the intro to only say subject is presumed dead, which is not true, as his son has been attempting (and failing) for years to get him declared legally presumed dead so he can inherit the earldom. I did not warn him this time as he knows 3RR well (is here regularly) and his threatening message on his talk page to all who dare challenge him says enough.

Where has the 16 October Independent report been cited in the main article text? If it has not been added to the main text, it should not be summarised in the lead. Ghmyrtle (talk) 14:26, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

The text cites this source for the failure - [274] I added the Independent article from October just as an addiional more recent source. The court case is back in the news and thus has renewed interest in the case (see spike in page views). My concern is that it is quite factually incorrect in the intro now, he is most certainly not presumed dead and this looks like an obvious goof to anyone who has come to the article after seeing it in the news. —Мандичка^YO 😜 15:14, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

So... add the new source to the main text, and summarise it in the lead if it is sufficiently important. Ghmyrtle (talk) 15:32, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

Ok, done. —Мандичка^YO 😜 15:50, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

He has reverted that change, so it is clear the reason that that article was not also cited in the body is not the reason he is being reverted. —Мандичка^YO 😜 08:13, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

• It is clear that there is no breach here. PoD is merely trying to maintain the article by keeping it in good order.

• Blocked – for a period of 72 hours I have blocked POD for 72 hours for continuing the edit war after this report was filed. Both POD and Wikimandia had engaged in edit warring prior to this report but Wikimandia had the sense to stop so I don't see the preventative value in blocking Wikimandia at this point. However I urge Wikimandia not to engage in further edit warring in the future, my decision not to block was a discretionary one and a block would be justified. HighInBC 22:24, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

It appears I was in error, Wikimandia also made another revert after filing this report. So I am going to give the exact same block for Wikimandia. HighInBC 22:34, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

Comments:

The editor has been editwarring with various editors such as Nishidani and Makeandtoss. He/she violated WP:3RR on Gaza Strip, and WP:1RR on Israeli settler violence and Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Despite being made aware of 1RR by User:RolandR he/she ignored this and continued to revert. Tanbircdq (talk) 01:06, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

The editor has made a further edit to one of the above articles.[289] This is in breach of the arbitration 1RR rule, and s/he has been warned by an admin that if s/he does not self-revert, s/he will be blocked.[290] RolandR (talk) 01:25, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Even reporting him, he is still insisting on deleting sourced content. [291] Makeandtoss (talk) 11:20, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

User:LiXuanze reported by User:Psychonaut (Result: Blocked Indefinitely)

Page: Cyprus (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) et al.
User being reported: LiXuanze (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

The user has just come off a three-month block for uploading incorrect or misleading flags and coats of arms (and then edit warring to substitute them in a large number of articles). Within 24 hours, not only have they resumed the same edit wars that led to the block, but they've also started a new one at Cyprus. Here are just some examples:

• At Cyprus, all edits post-block: [292] [293] [294]
• At Transnistria, pre-/post-block: [295] [296] / [297]
• At Canada, pre-/post-block: [298] [299] / [300]
• At Arms of Canada, pre-/post-block: [301] / [302]

Diffs of past edit warring / 3RR warning: [303] [304]

The user is uncommunicative except for nonsensical edit summaries. Probably a competence issue. See also Commons:Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems/Archive 53#LiXuanze.

Comments:

The editor has not technically violated 3RR this time around but I feel that this a continuation of a previous incursion rather than a fresh one and the behavior should not be tolerated when he makes no effort to discuss the issue on the talk page. Also, while not relevant to this case but perhaps relevant to a review of his conduct the editor was again blocked for disruptive behavior at an entirely unconnected article on October 24 for three weeks: [318]. This means he has actually resumed an edit war coming straight off another block. Betty Logan (talk) 06:42, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

• Blocked – for a period of 2 months - Clearly disruptive, clearly self-indulgent long-term edit-warring. User never discusses and doesn't seem interested in what other editors have to say. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:00, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
