Request concerning Askahrc
[Arbcom has extended the word count limit to 1000 for this case.] Askahrc has orchestrated a number of deceptions on Wikipedia. I once asked at WP:AN about the loophole in the "disruption must be current" rule: Can one conduct an unlimited number of abuses on Wikipedia without repercussions, provided there is a sufficient time lag between the disruption and its discovery? The consensus was clearly "no", so I present the following evidence. Askahrc was sanctioned for the first item below; the second has not been addressed before, and only the third is recent.
Much of the motivation behind Askahrc's deceptions may be found in his off-wiki harassment activities. Askahrc identified himself when he brought attention to his contributions to an off-wiki harassment site containing his name,[14] and an Arbcom member had recorded the page.[15] Arbcom is aware of this request. Out of courtesy I will not mention the name in clear text here.
From these writings we learn that Askahrc holds the view that Wikipedia is overrun by "skeptics" and that it's dreadfully important to right this great wrong. I suspect this is the impetus behind his deceptions. Now that Askahrc has a financial conflict of interest, I find it doubly reprehensible that he would continue the pattern of falsely defaming me. I do consider it harassment, and I am citing Askahrc's current sanction, "Askahrc is warned that any attempt to harass other users..." A final note: when confronted with his behavior, Askahrc tends to respond by making a slew of false claims. This puts me in a Catch-22: if I debunk each point, the result is a wall of text that repels anyone who might evaluate the matter. If I leave the points unanswered, it gives a sense of false balance. It is a phenomenally successful method of trolling Wikipedia editors, and I discussed this with Callanecc.[19] I would just implore admins to follow the evidence while not taking what Askahrc says at face value.

Discussion concerning AskahrcStatements must be made in separate sections. They may not exceed 500 words and 20 diffs, except by permission of a reviewing administrator. Statement by AskahrcThere's quite a bit to respond to, though it appears all but two diffs (1, 2) are years old, and those two were me asking an admin for clarification. For the sake of brevity I'm going to ignore issues from years ago that have already been discussed in front of admins several times.
EdJohnston, it's perfectly reasonable to question whether I can and will conform with NPOV matters relating to Chopra, though I feel my current conduct answers that. While I do feel there are some WP:BLP concerns that could be addressed on that page, I have always emphasized upholding policy and have not used the kind of battleground language found in the Huffpo article. I try to focus on building consensus, participating in RFC discussions, offering sources, and explaining how I see policy/guidelines applying to the page. While some of my conclusions differ from editors on that page, I have backed off of topics when it seemed to skirt my COI, as well as supported positions that would make it harder to upload positive content about Chopra if it helps NPOV. I value NPOV, and strongly feel that editors with an opinion (as many on that page do) can still meaningfully contribute if they focus on policies and sound sourcing rather than their own POV's. the Cap'n Hail me! 00:58, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
Statement by oliveThis is very strange. Almost all of these diffs are years old; the filer seems to be attempting to use stale information and diffs to implicate an editor. When I first looked at this case I thought I had somehow stumbled onto an old case. Might be expedient to withdraw this complaint before more time is well.... wasted?(Littleolive oil (talk) 06:27, 6 March 2016 (UTC)) Statement by JzGAskahrc is indeed waging a one man battle against reality-based criticisms of Chopra, but he is open about his COI, polite and in general a decent person. There is a worrying tendency to stonewall and endlessly make the same or very similar requests, but I don't see this as actionable at this point - perhaps an admonition to accept consensus and not spin things out forever might be justified, but no more that that IMO. Guy (Help!) 10:38, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
Statement by Looie496The enforcement request comes to well over 2500 words. Looie496 (talk) 15:25, 7 March 2016 (UTC) Statement by JytdogNo Askahrc you did not "drop" your appeal. Per your contribs to Callanecc's Talk page, the last thing you wrote there was continuing your argument to have the "conviction" overturned. That is not "dropped". If you had written there, "Hey Callenecc I am dropping this, but thanks for your time" -- that would be dropping it. I was hoping Askahrc would just walk away from the past or come clean, but instead they are dug in and have doubled down above and at their Talk page. I do not believe that this editor is WP:HERE to benefit the project, and has not been for a while. This is a first batch of stuff and there is more. This is enough for now. A timeline.
There is some stuff I want to say that i am pretty confident is OK per OUTING, but to be safe I am checking first. Will be back afterwards. My bottom line here is that Askahrc has dug up the past, in the present. That past appears to me, to be very sordid. It appears to me that Askahrc has lied to the community about his relationship with SAS81. I believe that Askahrc probably knew that SAS81 was a sock from the beginning in April 2014, but there is no way they could not have known this beginning in August 2014, when they joined ISHAR. Yet they did nothing. This to me belies any claim that Askarhc or ISHAR actually respects Wikipedia's policies. If they did, Askarhc or ISHAR would have identified SAS81 as a sock (with on-wiki evidence or emailing off-wiki evidence to an arb or clerk), and the editing community would not have had to dig that up itself and only in December 2014. And yes, with the Huffpo pieces and the indiegogo campaign, it is obvious that ISHAR is deeply opposed to WP's NPOV policy when it comes to altmed. I believe that Askahrc should be be topic-banned from the Chopra article and from altmed topics as well. If I am able to get the other things I want introduced, that will support that even more strongly, but I think the evidence is clear already. Jytdog (talk) 05:45, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
The reason I am introducing this, is that Ryan Castle is the one who wrote those two articles at HuffPo that Ed cited below, here (which says "Wikipedia is free for all to edit and get involved in, so the power to fix it lies with everyone." - please note that the second link there is to instructions at ISHAR for how to use their refs in Wikipedia) and here (which ends with the clarion call: "Anyone reading this article is capable of contributing to Wikipedia, all that is necessary is patience and the will to act. If there is misinformation occurring, it is the responsibility of all who know better to do something about it. Go here to learn how to edit Wikipedia and, if the above behavior seems unethical, remedy it. There’s a common saying on Wikipedia: if someone notices a problem and asks why it has not been fixed, the traditional answer is “Because you haven’t fixed it yet.” Let’s fix it."), that made Ed wonder if someone affiliated with ISHAR could be neutral. I am taking that a step further, and saying that those two pieces are obvious violations of WP:MEAT, in that they are clear efforts to recruit people to change the Chopra article. Per MEAT: "recruiting new editors to influence decisions on Wikipedia is prohibited." Please TBAN Askahrc from all alt-med topics under the CAM DS. I would even more like to see Askahrc banned from Wikipedia since he obviously colluded with SAS81's socking, but that may be asking too much. Jytdog (talk) 20:13, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

This request may be declined without further action if insufficient or unclear information is provided in the "Request" section below. Request concerning STSC
User:STSC is essentially a nuisance editor with a consistent, pro-Chinese government point of view. He is involved in regular conflict with other contributors, edit wars frequently, and personalizes talk page discussions to needle and provoke his opponents. Although most of his actual edits are relatively minor, they are also consistently counter-productive, thereby creating problems that other editors have to resolve. Evidence of the user’s POV editing and adversarial conduct spans a variety of topics related to China (including Sino-Japanese relations, Hong Kong[20][21], Tibet[22][23] etc.), but unfortunately this complaint is limited to the user’s conduct on Falun Gong articles per the relevant discretionary sanctions. For more context, there was an ANI complaint about the editor recently here. The complaints there are pretty illuminating. Evidence of POV editing
Evidence of prior warnings about Falun Gong discretionary sanctions: [60][61][62]
ResponseAh, I did overlook the 20 diff limit. In that case, would the reviewing administrators allow an exception? Most of the diffs do not show complicated edits—most of these are small, simple edits made repeatedly. The number of them is evidence simply of the user's tendency to edit war to enforce his point; I'm not sure how else to illustrate this type of conduct. As to STSC's contention that "any editor could have informed me on my talk page" about problems with his editing, this is not my experience. I attempted to do this, letting the user know that his edit summaries and caption changes were misleading.[64] He responded by accusing me of harassment and intimidation, informed me that I was unwelcome on his talk page, and called my suggestion that he remedy the problem "a nonsense."[65]TheBlueCanoe 15:26, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

- Additional comments by editor filing complaint
In the BDS set of edits, NMMNG self-reverts a revert he made earlier so that he can make a larger revert. That same thing happened here and it was found to be disruptive behavior that merited a 4 month topic ban. At the Exodus page, through the time of those last 3 reverts, NMMNG was arguing by himself against 5 different users on either the talk page or through reverts. I realize he never actually broke the 1RR, but like the 3RR nobody is entitled to 3 reverts every 24 hours, and when you're alone reverting against 3 different users with more arguing against you on the talk page I think that qualifies as edit-warring.
- As far as the rather curious line unlike what Nableezy and Nishidani did at L&R, I'd like to note I have exactly 0 reverts at that article. Also, as far as the supposed long-standing version, NMMNG actually completely removed the well supported text, not just in bold in the first sentence, but later on in the lead as well. nableezy - 21:24, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, I removed it when it was repetitive. You said you restored the long standing version, I was pointing out that in fact you didnt, you reverted the inclusion at the beginning of the article but did not restore it to where it had been later. nableezy - 21:40, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
- The diff is the difference between what you claimed was the long-standing version and what your edit resulted in. My point in this little side excursion that really doesnt serve a purpose here was to demonstrate that your claim that you were simply restoring the long-standing version "per BRD" is not true. I said you completely removed the term from the lead, which is emphatically true (heres the diff). Im pretty sure my browser's find function works but maybe Im wrong and you didnt actually remove it from the entire lead. Where in your edit is it? nableezy - 22:36, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Statement by No More Mr Nice Guy
- This seems like an attempt to preempt my reporting another editor for his behavior at one of the articles mentioned here, so if the admins could address everyone's behavior in the two articles mentioned, that would be awesome.
- Nableezy is incorrect regarding my second revert at BDS. I self-reverted because I was in violation of 1RR, not because I was planning to make a different revert like he did and was topic banned for. The third revert (actually the second) was slightly different than the previous one since there were a couple of intervening edits. I just reverted back to the version to prior to when I inadvertently violated 1RR.
- On the Lydda and Ramla article, my first revert was initiation dispute resolution per BRD. The second revert was of a driveby revert of someone who claimed he OWNs the article and didn't engage in discussion, and restoring the longstanding version again, per dispute resolution and arguments made by Nableezy's mates on the BDS article [66] [67] [68] he generously brought up here. Note that there a month went by with dozens of intervening edits and they still considered it the longstanding version. An RfC was started there with the article at what was claimed is the longstanding version state, and nobody tried to edit war the version that's being discussed back into the article, unlike what Nableezy and Nishidani did at L&R. The third revert 2 days later, was me trying to initiate what I thought would be a more respected dispute resolution procedure, since more driveby reverts were made. Then Nishidani edit warred the disputed version back in.
- Please note that at the L&R article, all this happened on a holiday weekend. Apparently is was super urgent to get this wording into the article despite my multiple attempts at dispute resolution. If they had taken a couple more days and gave a chance for other editors to participate, none of this would have happened.
- If any admin would like me to expand on any of the points above, please let me know (and if you could relax the word limit for that purpose, that would be awesome). No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 20:59, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
Further responses to Nableezy: Nableezy says I removed some text. Turns out he removed it. I never touched it. I did miss his edit when attempting to restore the longstanding version, but did not remove the term from the infobox and only argued it should not be in bold in the first line of the lead, not for it to be completely removed from the lead.

- Point of order: I collapsed some responses to Nableezy after he responded. I hope that's ok. I am now at my limit (not counting sigs or collapsed content). No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 22:21, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
- Like I said above, I would be extremely happy if the admins looked at everyone's behavior at the L&S article. Particularly the two driveby tag team reverts, Nishidani inserting new content twice over objections, and Nableezy declaring after 3 days of a holiday (and spring break) weekned that a new consensus has formed and my policy based objections are invalid. These are all things that have been discussed at AE in the past and were found to be disruptive editing. Meanwhile, this report just sits here and I can't take these issues elsewhere because I'll be told they're stale. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 16:52, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
Nishidani said: "Persistently approaching editing here in terms of some hypothesis that those who disagree with you have ulterior motives, and act as a gang, is one reason why NMMGG's recent work is problematical". Herein you will find many examples of Nishidani articulating such an hypothesis, from his earliest days of editing onward.

Statement by Sir Joseph
A 1RR violation usually requires one to violate 1RR. Sir Joseph (talk) 20:35, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
Statement by Nishidani
It is not policy, but the essay Wikipedia:Status quo stonewalling explains much of what is going on here (and at the (talk page). A majority of 5 were in favour of a change to the lead, there was only one objection. The objector NMMGG reverted to keep his preferred version in, and immediately opened an RfC so that change could be blocked.
The editor then repeated insinuations that the 5 opposing him were editing in bad faith, acting as a concerted gang.
‘you people abusing your numbers advantage’/ ‘you guys just couldn't wait.’
NMMGG threatened to take me to this page if I didn't revert to his preferred version.
When Nableezy reported him for edit-warring he repeated this accusation
Almost immediately User:Brewcrewer made a counter-report against Nableezy using stale edits, which had all the appearance of ‘retaliating’ to ‘balance the equation’, giving the impression of a kind of ‘If you report one of my buddies, I’ll report one of your buddies’ mentality. The report was summarily dismissed. The RfC so far gives the same picture. NMMGG won’t address the evidence with any sound policy objection while pettifogging to challenge the overwhelming source evidence for a change. The only way NMMGG can make head or tail of the fact his position, both on the talk page and the RfC is minoritarian, is to insinuate that those who oppose him are tagteamers using a numbers game. There's one sure way of discerning who is tagteaming in these circumstances: examine the talk page to see those who 'vote' with just a vague opinion or waving some spurious policy and those who address the concrete issues by a reasoned argument accompanying their vote. Those who support the minority view are clearly ‘voting’, without any comprehensible policy rationale or response to the meat of the sourcing issue. I don’t expect this case to go one way or another. But I would challenge any disinterested reader to make sense of the extremely obscure, subjective set of arguments NMMGG alone has kept raising to sustain a pointless objection. Persistently approaching editing here in terms of some hypothesis that those who disagree with you have ulterior motives, and act as a gang, is one reason why NMMGG's recent work is problematical. He appears to have a WP:BATTLEFIELD mentality and automatically assumes this is what those who disagree with him have. I haven't examined the BDS material and can't judge the merits of the general complaint. I do think NMMGG requires, as in an earlier case, a strong reminder to keep his personal animosity and theories about conspiracy off the talk pages, and focus on source evidence strictly in terms of policy requirements.Nishidani (talk) 08:18, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
- Of course, if clarification of those 9 things /5 from 2007-8) on my collapsed indictment sheet require clarification (mostly regarding oncer IPs and sockpuppeting editors like User:Zeq since permabanned, and User:Armon, since happily no longer here, I'll do so. The other 4 from a year ago again concern a banned sockpuppeter,User:Ashtul, the known Japanese article tagteamers,User: TH1980 User:CurtisNaito, an IP (31.44.143.180) who followed me around for a day until I remonstrated, and User:Plot Spoiler's revert of my edit to a version that, as showed was garbled English and rife with errors. PS, though recently we have worked together intelligently, patently had not read the version he had reverted back to. I think NMMGG should spend time familiazing himself with the source for articles, rather than spending inordinate time ransacking contribs back 9 years for incriminating diffs. Tagteaming is recognized as a problem. That does not mean that being in a minority means automatically the 'other guys' are tagteaming. Nishidani (talk) 20:27, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Statement by FreeatlastChitchat
I am quite aware of AE and its enforcement therefore I undid my reverts myself when I realized I had gone past 1PR. I did this about three days before this humongously bad faith AE was filed and before anyone else edited the said article, I did not even engage in a TP argument as the person who was reverting my edits said that he meant to continue reverting me on a daily basis, therefore I just left the article in the hands of others, there are no edits on TP or the article from my account after my self revert. The nom should look at the article history before wasting my time. nom has been told at least seven times that he should stop reporting me without proof but he continues his hounding. FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 07:06, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- (should i reply here or above?) @Spartaz where have i reverted ? I have been staying clear of Indo-pak pages only reverting obvious vandals using rollback vandal. Can you plz point out where I have reverted thrice? No one asked me to self revert, I was making sure I was not in violation of 1PR, I saw that I was and self reverted myself, I wanted to take it to TP, but then thought to just leave the article alone. On List of Islamist terrorist attacks I am reverting a sockpuppet who has been since blocked. As I said earlier, my only reverts are vandalism which everyone will call vandalism and removable material. If something can be debated about I am leaving it be.

Statement by D4iNa4
I can see that he has been blocked for a week, but I think that more sanctions are needed. He loves to wikihound and removed by abusing rollback just anything that he WP:DONTLIKE.
He has massively violated his 1-rr restriction on many articles, and wasn't blocked. I would just name these few:-
- [82] reverted to [83], then reverted again,[84], then again[85](and telling other user not to "disrupt")
- [86] reverted to [87], then reverted again,[88] to a copyrights violating version. After reverting to his version by going against consensus, he asked for protection.[89]
List of converts to Hinduism from Islam
- [90], then reverted again[91], and again.[92] Everytime without gaining consensus to remove sourced entries.
All the time, he is either removing the sourced content,[93][94] abusing WP:ROLLBACK,[95][96] and gaming the system. What's more disturbing, that he went to these articles by wikihounding my edit history. I don't see any improvement in him, despite many recent complaints on ANI.[97][98][99][100] D4iNa4 (talk) 05:07, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

- Self revert or not, this looks like a clear 1RR vio. Who asked you to self revert and where. I'd also like an explanation for the double reverting on List of Islamist terrorist attacks before I consider whether a block is appropriate. Since Slakr blocked the other editor you were reverting against, I'd be interested in their view. Spartaz Humbug! 10:08, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- FreeatlastChitchat you have reverted 3 different times since I left this message. Perhaps you didn't notice that your input was requested? Spartaz Humbug! 11:52, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- Your edit summaries do not suggest that the edits were made with a view to BANEX and there is no general exemption for suspected socks. It has to be a banned user. Vandalism has to be clear too and your summaries make no mention of vandalism. Your edit summary for the self revert was "as you wish. As per request restoring content)" but now you say you did it yourself. You are too free with the revert button and that is continuing to be disruptive. I'm blocking you for a week for the violation and would like input from other admins whether a permanent 0RR is now required to reign in excessive reverting.

- User:Spartaz, I see you've issued a one week AE block under WP:ARBIPA, which seems appropriate. If you are considering a 0RR under the same arb case, I would support. (Search WP:DSLOG for examples where 0RR has been imposed). EdJohnston (talk) 04:01, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

- Sanction or remedy to be enforced
- Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Pseudoscience#Discretionary Sanctions
Pseudoscience and fringe science are considered together. The article in question ticks both boxes: it promotes pseudoscientific work (more specifically pathological science) within the fringe fields of anti-vaccine activism and alternative views on the causes of autism.

In response to a warning re WP:NPOV, Conzar states: "You are the one writing an article that is not forom a nuetural point of view. The article is clearly 1 sided and pro-vax. Its funny that you post this information about neutral editing as you are the one doing such things." (diff). Pro-vaccine is the neutral point of view, there is no significant informed dissent from the view that vaccines are one of the most important health interventions ever devised, saving millions of lives annually. The subject of the film, the purported link between the MMR vaccine and autism, is refuted (see MMR vaccine controversy).
Conzar also states that we are "denying information from the film makers side" (diff). The film maker in this case has had his medical license revoked after conducting unapproved invasive tests on vulnerable children, and his most prominent published work has been retracted due to evidence of research fraud. He was also found to have accepted substantial payments from lawyers promoting a link between vaccines and autism, and not to have declared this conflict. Per WP:UNDUE we cover is views only in the context of what reliable independent sources say about them. The film maker has, for example, stated that the withdrawal of the film from the Tribeca film festival is a freedom of speech issue. He is English, so this profound ignorance of the First Amendment can be excused, but that doesn't oblige Wikipedia to repeat it.
Overall I think Conzar should be topic banned from this article for a minimum of six months, by which time there should be a wider discussion in the media resulting in contextualised discussion of crank views like those of Mike Adams and less risk of bias from cherry-picking of sources.

Statement by Conzar
Pseudoscience Claim The claim that "Pseudoscience and fringe science are considered together" is fallacious. The edits that I have made do not express my opinion nor promotes pseuodoscience and fringe science. My edits are only to provide an objective view of the movie which is the topic of the page.

Neutral View The statement by Guy "Pro-vaccine is the neutral point of view" is also incorrect and illogical. Its essentially double speak. There are obviously two view points to the issue of vaccination. Those that oppose it and those that support it. A neutral point of view would take no stance on the issue of vaccination, neither opposing it nor supporting it. This is basic logic and reasoning.
Debating Vaccination Guy believes this article is about vaccination. However, this article is about a documentary about vaccination. The content of this movie has net yet been shown and therefore, debate on the content of the topic is uninformed at best. Statements such as: "there is no significant informed dissent from the view that vaccines are one of the most important health interventions ever devised, saving millions of lives annually." are irrelevant to the topic of the wikipage.
Refusing to allow Film Maker's comments Guy also censors the information that is allowed on the page regarding statements and comments made by the film maker. He does this in order to support his view on vaccination. Again, he shows his bias towards vaccination so much that he is unable to allow the film directors comments on a wiki page about the film he made! He justifies this by saying the film maker is 'not credible'. Censoring someone's speech in relation to their own work is a classic free speech issue and is being perpetrated on wikipedia by Guy who also is clearly English so this profound ignorance of the First Amendment cannot be excused.
Banned Overall, I think I should not be topic banned from this article because I have NOT broken any wiki rules. I have NOT added my opinion at all to the wiki page. I have only tried to make the article unbiased.
If anyone should be banned, I would recommend Guy to be banned. The topic of course is the film NOT vaccinations. There is a completely separate wikipage for vaccinations. Guy is trying to impose his views about vaccination on a wiki page that should only contain information about the topic which is the VAXXED movie.
Mistakes I have made two mistakes which he calls fiction. There is a difference between factual and mistakes. I mistyped the author's name and auto-correct must have choosen national instead of natural. As the link clearly points to the natural news web site. Lets not be disingenuous here. What do you mean by, 'not a recognized organization'? Recognized by who? What authority? Why is the person not a reliable source? Please substantiate those claims.
Competency User Capeo has accused me of being incompetent. I have a Masters of Science and a Batchelors of Science in Computer Engineering from the Clemson University, South Carolina, USA. Clemson University is ABET accredited. This means that I have met the world wide standard for being an engineer which includes taking the necessary courses in science. Now that I have shown my educational background, lets discuss the false claim. User Capeo stated that I use Natural News as an authoritative source on vaccinations. I have NOT made this claim anywhere. This is called a strawman attack. In his statement, he is unable to support this claim.
Red Flag The idea that my edits of a wikipage can be compared to edits on the talk page are fallacious. My unfamiliarity with Wikipedia does NOT demonstrate my ability to research which is the claim laid by MjolnirPants. Again, I am well educated. It seemed to me that Guy's signature indicated a new user without any edits. It also seemed to me that his account had been deleted after reverting my changes. This is why I made the association of a sock puppet account. If this assessment is incorrect, than I fully accept that I am wrong and apologize.
Conspiracy Guy often uses the term conspiracy as evidence against me. He uses the main stream media's approach of silencing criticism by associating 'conspiracy theory' with the idea of craziness or insanity. Its very disingenuous to use conspiracy theory in this contest. Conspiracies happen every day. The FBI, CIA, NSA, etc's JOB is to commit conspiracies. IE, secret organizations conspire on a daily basis. So the question is, are there conspiracies that happen outside of government organizations? Well, did big tobacco commit conspiracies when trying to deny the link to cancer? What tactics did big tobacco use? What tactics are big tobacco still employing today? Is Big Tobacco conspiring to keep their products on the shelves despite the scientific evidence of the negative health effects?
I think I have shown why this idea of conspiracy theory and linking it to 'crazy' people is NOT a valid justification as Guy continuously uses. Guy might have bought into the mass media's interpretation of conspiracy theory. Or perhaps, he is well aware of this concept and uses it as an attacking point.
Statement by Krelnik
I've edited on the article a small amount, but haven't reverted anything so far. I just wanted to point out that in diffs #6 and #8 not only is the source not reliable, but the text being inserted isn't even factually correct! The editor repeatedly referred to "Mike Adam" (it's Mike Adams) and "National News Forensic Food Lab" (it's "Natural News Forensic Food Lab"). In any case, this lab is not a recognized organization and the person is not a reliable source. --Krelnik (talk) 12:50, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
Statement by Capeo
Anyone who uses Natural News as an authoritative source on vaccinations, or anything medical at all, does not have the competence to edit articles that have even a cursory connection to medical science. Capeo (talk) 13:55, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
- You are not supposed to write in other people's sections. You quoted an NN source that claims this "medical documentary" was subject to some kind of censorship due to it's factual content. NN is not an RS for such claims. Capeo (talk) 14:19, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
Statement by MjolnirPants
A big red flag I've seen is this edit, in which this user demonstrates the approach he takes towards editing. Without doing any research beyond clicking on Guy's signature, he came to the conclusion that a longstanding editor and admin of this site with a nigh-sterling reputation among those of us who prefer an objective, accurate encyclopedia is somehow just some fly-by-night sockpuppet account.
Another red flag is this edit. I'm not going to summarize it because there's no need. Anyone who's read WP:THETRUTH already knows what it says.
A topic ban seems perfectly reasonable to me. With enough time an experience editing areas which this user might be less ideologically invested it, they may very well be able to request a lifting of the ban and be able to edit constructively in this area. MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 20:01, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
Statement by Geogene
This diff [101] and this one [102], in particular, are strong evidence of a WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS mentality. The remarks about Wikipedia being influenced by Big Pharma to suppress Conzar's POV are particularly troubling. A topic ban is probably necessary. Geogene (talk) 20:45, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
Result concerning Conzar
- This section is to be edited only by uninvolved administrators. Comments by others will be moved to the sections above.
- It seems rather soon for a topic ban. Conzar made five edits 2012 — 2014, but from his return to editing 08:50, 31 March 2016 (UTC) he has been a single purpose account, editing exclusively the article Vaxxed and its talkpage, plus a few related edits on user talkpages. Altogether 61 edits in the last 36 hours, all devoted to the film Vaxxed. That's a lot. He seems unaware of the proper way of editing and discussing on Wikipedia, making remarks like this and this. He assumes bad faith of people who argue with him, and of the creator of the page: "The author of this page clearly is trying to discredit the movie"[103] (this in his very first edit on the subject)… "Its my opinion that several editors are trying to frame this movie in a negative light"[104]… "Who are you exactly? You haven't seen the movie yet you are already judging it without knowing what's inside."[105] I can appreciate that people find his input and stubbornness on the talkpage overwhelming, especially because he has dominated the talkpage: 30 of 46 edits on it are his.
- His response above on this page shows that he doesn't understand the Wikipedia definition of neutral point of view ("A neutral point of view would take no stance on the issue of vaccination, neither opposing it nor supporting it. This is basic logic and reasoning."), and seems frankly uninterested when he's told about it.
- Conzar needs to realize that a topic ban will be coming his way if he continues in the same tonedeaf whirlwind way. Still, he has been doing this SPA editing less than two days. I would prefer to wait before imposing the fairly draconian restriction of a topic ban, and first see what effect narrower restrictions may have. I propose a 1RR restriction on the article page (where he has been reverting a lot) plus a limit of 7 edits per 24 hours on the talkpage. That's really plenty, for anybody who gives a bit of thought to their contribution before hitting "Save". And I strongly, strongly recommend him to click on the policies and guidelines that people direct him to, and to read them in good faith, rather than focus on telling us what he thinks they ought to say. Bishonen | talk 22:58, 1 April 2016 (UTC). (My numbers above may have been overtaken by events while I was typing this.) Bishonen | talk 23:00, 1 April 2016 (UTC).
- Conzar seems to be a fighter for the anti-vaccination cause. This is his chance to respond and agree to follow Wikipedia policy in the future. From what we've heard so far, that doesn't appear likely. If they have no idea about policy, I wonder if they will be able to understand or follow a 1RR restriction. Unless there is a change of heart, I support doing a topic ban. EdJohnston (talk) 04:35, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
- This remark alone is sufficient grounds for an immediate topic ban. CIreland (talk) 20:03, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
- Closing: Conzar (talk · contribs) is indefinitely banned from the topic of vaccination (broadly construed) on all pages of Wikipedia, including talk and noticeboards. Our articles on Andrew Wakefield and on the movie Vaxxed are included in the ban as well as the talk pages of those articles. EdJohnston (talk) 17:21, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi, sorry for the violation of WP:3RR . Per WP:NPOV I have added the claims of Armenian side based on reliable sources. It was not written like that it is a absolute truth, it is what the Armenian side claims.--ԱշոտՏՆՂ (talk) 15:07, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
- WP:Redflag stipulates that "surprising claims not covered by multiple mainstream sources" and "challenged claims that are supported purely by primary or self-published sources or those with an apparent conflict of interest" must be additionally verified. In addition, your wording of this information was extremely POV. Parishan (talk) 15:16, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
- Parishan, this is not a surprising claim or challenged claims . It is what Armenian side claims, as I have written it is according to Armenian side. There are many of this type of claims in this article.--ԱշոտՏՆՂ (talk) 15:21, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
