Welcome to the edit warring noticeboard

Shortcuts

Update this page

This page is for reporting active edit warriors and recent violations of restrictions like the three-revert rule.

See this guide for instructions on creating diffs for this report.
If you see that a user may be about to violate the three-revert rule, consider warning them by placing {{subst:uw-3rr}} on their user talk page.

You must notify any user you have reported.

You may use {{subst:An3-notice}} ~~~~ to do so.

You can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

Additional notes

When reporting a user here, your own behavior will also be scrutinized. Be sure you understand WP:REVERT and the definitions below first.
The format and contents of a 3RR/1RR report are important, use the "Click here to create a new report" button below to have a report template with the necessary fields to work from.
Possible alternatives to filing here are dispute resolution, or a request for page protection.
Violations of other restrictions, like WP:1RR violations, may also be brought here. Your report should include two reverts that occurred within a 24-hour period, and a link to where the 1RR restriction was imposed.

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 from 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.

Definition of the three-revert rule (3RR)

An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Violations of this rule normally attract blocks of at least 24 hours. Any appearance of gaming the system by reverting a fourth time just outside the 24-hour slot is likely to be treated as a 3RR violation. See here for exemptions.

Sections older than 48 hours are archived by Lowercase sigmabot III.

First revert 17:59 12 nov:[1] he re ads the "Irredentist Kurdish nationalist view of Western Kurdistan, espoused in particular by the Kurdish National Council" map [2] this is a revert as can be seen here where he ads the same map on 8th november: [3]
Second revert 20:33 12 nov [4] he re ads the same map again after it was removed.

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: Warning is shown when you edit the article: [5]

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [6]

Comments:

This article is sanctioned under the Syrian Civil War topic, allowing one revert per 24 hours.

This user has a very long edit-warring record. In addition, the user resorts to personal attacks when their argument fails such as here, here, here, here, here and here, and here. Another personal attack on another user here.
This user removes mass amounts of sourced, relevant content because it simply goes against their POV (WP:IDONTLIKEIT). Examples are:
Here, which is part of the complaint above
Other pages: Here, here,
Konli is edit-warring here, 4 reverts in less than 48 hours.
This user uses fake edit-summaries to sneak in their significant changes to the meanings by simple tweaking such as this one and removal of sensitive words that fake/change/reverse the meaning (such as 'at most', 'no more than') or changing 'encourage' to 'allow', 'many' to 'some', etc.
This user has tried to block every effort at reaching consensus on the page in question. Look at this message here to another (more reasonable, neutral) user on their side.
This user was blocked back in June for edit-warring. It is about time for this user to see a topic ban or a indefinite block given their constant disruptive behavior and sabotage of many articles. Thanks Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 22:10, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That page was quiet for months until Konli17 returned from his long break and decided to push their POV. He changes Southern and eastern Turkey into Turkish Kurdistan, tries renaming every city in Northeastern Syria to its Kurdish name, constantly starts edit wars with other users, and manipulates sources to get them what they want him to say. Here's a recent example on the Hulusi Akar page of how he fakes content from sources: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12. This user is clearly WP:NOTHERE and is just here to push his agenda and should be blocked. Thepharoah17 (talk) 23:08, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Even a pro-Kurdish editor doesn't agree with his edits: 13 Thepharoah17 (talk) 02:10, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

One more example where Konli faked the content of al-Jazeera story that they used. Konli claimed: "in order to prevent the SDF linking Afrin Canton with the rest of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria". However, neither the page name (Shahba Canton) nor the other names (Afrin, Autonomous Administration) claimed were mentioned in that story. Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 02:59, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There are other users who have witnessed the edit-warring behavior of this user. Is it appropriate to ping them or that would be considered canvassing? Thanks, Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 04:14, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@EdJohnston: Could you please look into this case here? The page you protected has seen major vandalism by this user since it was partially-protected. Thanks, Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 06:38, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A decision for this case is over due and the user in question is taking advantage of this by continuing their edit-warring. See what they call "clean-up! They have deleted half an article that is well-sourced (neutral, Western sources) and very relevant to the area in question. All this happened while an RfC is open and against advice on the Talk page by user @Sixula:. If all the edit-warring is not enough for an indef banning then the many personal attacks identified above should be the straw to do it. Thanks, Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 00:17, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the conflict between Konli and the other three could really use an admin looking into it. The complaining editors SD, Amr Ibn and ThePharoah17 have all shown a very surprising tolerance to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) which appears not to be on the radar of the Admins. SD and Amr Ibn, both wanted to move Syrian Kurdistan to Kurdish occupied regions of Syria in the midst of an Siege of Kobane by ISIL in 2015. The pinged admin EdJohnston closed the discussion at the time. ThePharoah17 has shown similar views after I have made that public just a few days ago arguing that the YPG is just a terrorist organization as ISIL. The YPG is only designated a terrorist organization by Turkey, and supported by a global coalition of 83 countries including the USA and most of the countries of the European Countries, which is formed specifically to fight ISIS. ISIL is probably the most designated terrorist organization in the world. That they now want to oust Konli17, who really improved many articles is not very Wikipedia. Amr Ibn and SD are also involved in a long edit war about the existence of Syrian Kurdistan, in which they deny its existence and dismiss any academic sources which mention a Syrian Kurdistan. The dispute is currently raging at the ANI and also at an RfC at the Syrian Kurdistan Talk page.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 09:03, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Paradise Chronicle, you are accusing me of being "tolerant" to ISIS is extremely offensive. You can not show one single comment I have made that comes even close to what you are claiming. No one on the planet hates them more then me. You should be banned from wikipedia for your words. Also, what academic sources have I dismissed? --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 10:31, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Admins, this is a very serious accusation and personal attack by user Paradise chronicle. Standing against YPG militias does not mean one is supporting ISIL. It's not black and white. See this Human Rights Watch story about PYD/YPG human rights violations. Your argument just shows that you are here to push a pro-PKK/PYD POV agenda. Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 21:22, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It seems like Konli17 is a particulary disruptive editor. It seems like the disruption is continuing in different places up to today. Something should be done about it. Tradedia^talk 23:13, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@C.Fred: Could you please look into the three cases against user Konli17 open here and waiting for admin action for almost two weeks. Thanks, Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 19:31, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

THIS GUY IS A VANDAL!!!! Here is the most recent example now of how he snuck in a change in words in an edit:[7]. Notice how the words "Assyrians and Syriacs" are turned into "Kurds". Thepharoah17 (talk) 19:29, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

More vandalism reported on the Qamishli page: [8] [9] Thepharoah17 (talk) 19:46, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

More vandalism: [10] [11]

I have news for you @C.Fred: @EdJohnston: @Liz: @Black Kite:. Konli17 is a sockpuppet.

FYI, ThePharoah17 just had to revert the so called vandalism by Konli17 because it was not Vandalism but a removal of second mention within 4 lines. Other so-called vandalism was similar. Guess who is the vandal now.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 21:17, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The current issue presented in Syrian Kurdistan is not even a real violation of a 3RR rule, and if so classified SD would have incurred in it as well. The filer of the report Supreme Deliciousness restored a version which was more to their gusto twice on the same day and which edits are clearly focused on an existence of Syrian Kurdistan, which is the subject of the article since weeks.

Here and here the diffs of their "restoration". In between SD had several other edits where SD removed sources and text not to SDs gusto on the 13 November 2020

here here and here they also removed text concerning concerning Kurds in Syria on the 13 November 2020. So all together 5 edits focused on the removal of mentions of Kurds in Syrian Kurdistan within 24 hours by Supreme Deliciousness.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 09:22, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments:
This user is extremely POV pushing, and doing long lasting edit wars with other users. He is thinking Turkey or Iran is occupying Kurdistan. He got ridiculous edits such as changing short description into "Iranian-controlled part of Kurdistan" or such as "the portion of Kurdistan under the jurisdiction of Turkey", as if Iran or Turkey is occupying a foreign country. As for Western Armenia, claiming an Armenian irredentist concept is "Turkish irredentism". This user has clearly no idea about distinguishing an geocultural region or a political region.

Beside that, insisting about a map made by a ~~blocked user~~ turned out to be a sockpuppet, which is clearly controversial.

Also adding in another map, adding wrong reference, you can control yourself.

´*Comment. Konli17 has been edit warring for a long time at the Syrian Kurdistan article, adding fake maps with unreliable sources and removing good sourced content that doesn't fit his agenda. I have tried to reason with him but he is still misbehaving and edit warring. It is time for a long block or ban from wikipedia. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 18:15, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: WikiProject Boxing – Titles in boxing section, ongoing discussion

Comments:
User:Bigboy 691 is bulk-adding a large section to boxing bio articles which has not yet gained consensus at WikiProject Boxing, which oversees the MOS:BOXING style guide. There is already a detailed section within the latter – MOS:BOXING/TITLES – which handles championships won by a boxer and uses succession boxes. There is currently discussion about whether to include a summary-type of section earlier in the articles, but User:Bigboy 691 insists on adding the sections anyway, without waiting for consensus or indeed participating in discussion. This is no longer WP:BOLD, but disruptive editing because discussion is still ongoing. Instead, he has blanked his talk page a few times despite requests to engage in discussion, and he appears to have slight conduct issues via edit summaries:

"Not everyone reads those boring links sir" – his views on succession boxes
"... put some respect on my guy Fury" – bias
"Stop hating leave the accomplishments there bro" – no rationale
"Yo chill stop being a square person" – minor PA

However, this is not so much about his conduct than his edit warring and unwillingness to discuss a style format which could affect a large number of articles going forward. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 19:12, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It seem User:Bigboy 691 now a troll account that simply delete content in wikipedia. See the talk page for affected article. Matthew hk (talk) 06:37, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Result: No action. It appears that the user is not continuing to revert at Canelo Álvarez; his 'Titles in boxing' section isn't there any more. I suggest opening a WP:Request for comment to try to settle the general style question. Before someone can be blocked for violating a consensus there actually has to *be* a consensus.

This page is subject to 1RR. This user is still actively violating the 1RR at the page, despite a request to stop and review the DS notice, and a promise that it was an accident. This user has been reported and then banned, blocked, or warned for edit-warring and violating either DS or 3RR at least three times in the past year. See 1, 2, 3. (Note: In the ANI thread that resulted in a two-week ban for a 3RR violation, the imposing admin notes that it was actually three separate 3RR violations that broke the camel's back, not just one. So we actually have nearly a half dozen instances of this user violating either 1RR or 3RR documented between WP:ANI and WP:AN3.) Wikieditor19920 (talk) 03:52, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what this editor is on about, but we've had issues in the past. I've learnt from my past mistakes and have been making a concerted effort to do better, this report is not fair or justified. If I did go past 1RR I'd have happily self reverted if given the chance. I think this report is vindictive and should boomerang. Bacondrum (talk) 08:46, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That first diff, I thought I was doing as wikieditor had requested? I'm pretty sure I restored all of his edits? I sincerely find his claims confusing. I don't think I've gone past 1RR, I'm not even sure I reverted anything at all. Same with the second "series" of reverts. I thought I was simply making edits, I can't see how I've reverted anything, but I'm more than happy to self revert if I've done the wrong thing. I've nothing more to add. Admins, please ping me if you have any questions. Bacondrum (talk) 08:49, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Wikieditor19920: Can you make it clear which edits in those series you are saying are reverts, and which previous edits they are actually reverts of, please? Reports like this make it very difficult for admins to pick apart what is actually happening. Thanks. Black Kite (talk) 12:07, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Black Kite: Yes, I've edited the diffs to show two chains of this user's edits broken by another's changes (each grouping is effectively a single revert per WP:REVERT) within the 24h period. The user did initially partially self revert after being asked, but then returned, and undid that with additional edits. Wikieditor19920 (talk) 12:37, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For more specific reverts within that second series of changes, see here and here. Wikieditor19920 (talk) 15:52, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I still can't see any reverts other than one which was accidental and all but entirely restored - so one partial revert? I believe this is a vindictive act in retaliation over this recent dispute https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Wikieditor19920#October_2020 Bacondrum (talk) 20:58, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A question for admins: are there any sanctions for making spurious and vindictive reports? Bacondrum (talk) 01:19, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not clearly seeing a blatant violation either, but I'll leave it for another admin to look over and make sure I'm not getting it wrong. Black Kite (talk) 01:33, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would decline to find a violation here because the reverting story is unclear. If a page is under a 1RR, it only takes two reverts to break the rule, but even so, the first edit of the two has to be an actual revert. That's what I can't determine. At first glance, there are a bunch of similar words being stirred around into different orders. It appears that Bacondrum is willing to fix the problem if it can be pointed out to him. EdJohnston (talk) 02:37, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@EdJohnston: This was the first revert, comprised of two consecutive edits. It involved changes to the existing language in the lead, and removal of sources that had just been restored in the prior edit. The second revert, after intervening edits by me, partially undid edits by myself and others. Here, as part of the second chain of reverts, the user claimed they were reverting "contested wording." Yet there is no such exemption, and this was already outside of the 1RR. You can also view the page revision history if you just want a visual representation.

The user's promise to self-revert now is moot at this point—they violated the 1RR and restored their preferred version, and in the time since passed other editors have continued editing the page. Of course, they also promised to self-revert immediately prior to continuing the violation by extending the string of edits in the 2nd revert, rather than stopping once I pointed out the 1RR limitation. That this is followed by an apology (though the tone seems to have shifted slightly since the initial apology) and a claim to have not known what a revert is, or needing to be instructed on what they did wrong, is pretty consistent with the last several times they've been reported for the exact same violation. Wikieditor19920 (talk) 03:13, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And also, Black Kite suggested I failed to provide evidence of "what specific edits were reverted," but I don't see how that is necessary evidence for a 1RR report. WP:REVERT broadly construes any changes or revisions to the article as a revert — someone added the language in at some point. The provided links show the user made changes to the article, undoing the work of other editors -- some recently, as I noted above, and some a bit older -- in two distinct reverts. Wikieditor19920 (talk) 03:28, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

They are not reverts!?! They're just edits!?! See how much nasty venom is being directed at me? This is WP:BULLYING - false accusations and harassment, and is thus a serious personal attack. Bacondrum (talk) 03:34, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Woah, hang on now. "Reverting means undoing or otherwise negating the effects of one or more edits, which results in the page (or a part of it) being restored to a previous version." Claiming that any edit that removes previous content is a revert is nonsensical - that would mean, for example, that I couldn't copyedit a badly written article. Black Kite (talk) 08:59, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Black Kite It's clearly not about 1RR, it's about attacking me. Bacondrum (talk) 10:18, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We're not talking about copy editing. The user initially acknowledged violating 1RR and promised to self-revert (see the linked warning thread on their talk page), but then reversed course and decided to continue making changes rather than self-reverting. In this edit, which was part of their second revert, the edit summary explicitly notes that they knew they were reverting the work of another editor, not their own. Wikieditor19920 (talk) 18:34, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And as far as Bacondrum's comments here, I haven't responded, not because it isn't untrue, but because I just don't take it personally. This user attacks the filer and claims they are being bullied, harassed, etc., each and every time that they are reported for disregarding the rules that everyone else seems capable of following. Here are some snippets from the last three times this user was reported for edit warring. Stop me if these sound at all like déjà vu (links are above):

September 2019think this warrants a WP:Boomerang Regarding WP:HARASS and WP:PERSONALATTACKS. I'm trying to be civil, but they are making it all but impossible. I've made mistakes in the past, learned and changed my ways - one little mistake that I retracted and apologize for does not warrant this level of hostility or sanctions, IMO..
December 2019 WP:BOOMERANG should be applied here. Yes I've edit warred in the past, but I've learnt and I believe I'm a much better editor for it. This is a clear violation of guidelines.
October 2020 Thanks good sir, I certainly will be more careful, and it was not my intent to edit war. I have not been persistently edit warring as Wikieditor claims, I have been discussing edits at talk. I am happy to let this go, but the disruptive and vexatious behavior of Wikieditor should be noted, if not addressed I'm afraid it will continue, they seem to be incapable of seeing their conduct is highly disruptive.

I think it can be shown that this is a long-established pattern with no signs of stopping. If it's overlooked here, I think the obvious concern should be that it will most likely just continue indefinitely. But I've presented my evidence, and it's not in my discretion to decide how to handle it. Wikieditor19920 (talk) 19:16, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously? Can someone please make this stop? Surely this behavior is way out of line. black Kite, EdJohnston, Swarm, Liz Bacondrum (talk) 20:14, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Wikieditor19920: If you believe there is a pattern of behaviour that you wish the community to look at, the place for that is WP:ANI, not here. I am closing this report. Black Kite (talk) 19:25, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

::@Black Kite: I am asking to review the specific violation here and consider the user's past as part of the sanction. You are completely misconstruing what I wrote and overlooking an obvious violation. Wikieditor19920 (talk) 19:27, 25 November 2020 (UTC) I'll strike my above comment. Like I said, I believe I presented evidence of a specific violation; the user's past history of violations was merely a supplement. But an admin has weighed in here and decided how to close it out, and as I also said, that's something outside my discretion. Wikieditor19920 (talk) 19:49, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

He's been editwarring himself

black Kite, EdJohnston, Swarm, Liz Sorry to return to this but despite all this carry on about me, wikieditor has just removed this text for the third time in six days "against those whom they identify as belonging to the far right".

Bacondrum (talk) 00:08, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I merged two sentences about the group's protest activity, and removed the "those that they identify" language in an attempt to pacify users who specifically objected to it on the talk page here. As usual, Bacondrum, you don't have your facts straight, haven't done your research, and are accusing others of engaging in precisely the behavior you are, and yet there is still no accountability for it. Wikieditor19920 (talk) 01:00, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The diffs speak for themselves. Bacondrum (talk) 01:19, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

They do, in exactly the manner I described. Wikieditor19920 (talk) 01:38, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bacondrum, up to a point. I am going to strongly suggest that you voluntarily abstain from commenting on Wikieditor19920, reporting his supposed infractions, or reverting his edits directly, otherwise you will also find yourself subject to escalating sanctions. The only reason I did not pageblock you, as I did Wikieditor19920, is that the report above is not entirely clear-cut, in that you reverted different content with the two edit series. So, while you may be technically correct, on Wikipedia at least, that is not the best kind of correct. Your changes have somewhat better consensus support but that's not a license to ignore the DS on this article, OK? Guy (help! - typo?) 01:31, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, that's okay. Thanks for being reasonable. Bacondrum (talk) 01:33, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is basically an acknowledgement that Bacondrum is subject to a "polite warning" for violating 1RR (I don't know how diffs showing two distinct reverts at a page subject to 1RR can be any more clear cut), and a WP:INVOLVED admin is imposing a two-month sanction on me for WP:BRD edits which incorporated others' suggestions. The bias and lack of accountability in this area of Wikipedia by those charged with overseeing it is just unacceptable. Wikieditor19920 (talk) 01:36, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikieditor19920, polite but firm. And only because Bacondrum's edits appear to be closer to consensus - I don't see them being reverted as consistently (I could be wrong there of course). I'm not going to push this further myself, but I do have some experience of this kind of dispute and the admin corps has very little patience with pairs of editors who knock six bells out of each other at every opportunity.

My advice to you both is this: if you want to recruit support, the best way to do that is to exemplify Wikipedian ideals by driving content improvement through calm and civil discussion on Talk. I have seen you both do that in the past. Both of you have done some good work and made some solid points. Take it to email or find a place to talk, but please seek common ground, otherwise the heavy mob are going to roll in with the cudgels and not care at all who started it. And remember: Wikipedia's best content is the result of respectful discourse between people with differing points of view. Guy (help! - typo?) 01:47, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My issue is not with Bacondrum. My issue is with the biased manner in which you and other admins have handled this, giving unheard of leniency to an editor whose edits you support, who is a repeat violator of 1RR and 3RR, and an extreme, unjustified ban against an editor you substantively disagree with (me) for bold edits that you mischaracterize as against consensus.

Wikieditor19920 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) was already under a partial block from the closely-related Andy Ngo (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (whose major target is Antifa), and continues to conduct debate via edit summaries not on Talk, so I have added Antifa to he pageblock and extended it. This is in lieu of requesting an AP2 TBAN, which I think is defensible based on the lack of introspection displayed at user talk:Wikieditor19920 in response to the original pageblock, and noted by several well respected and calm editors.

This is a new one for me... We have a bright line 3rr violation whose edit summary actually invokes 3rr as justification for the revert. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 21:50, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a new one for me, too. I spent over a week trying to explain DUE to the guy who reported me, Horse Eye's Back (which he did from his new Wikipedia account; he seems to have been banned from his old one). This guy believes an Early Life section that covers 30 years of Fred Malek's life should have over 90% of it devoted to a dropped misdemeanor charge. He also seems to believe that any media outlet that mentions this incident is REQUIRED to be mentioned on Malek's page under DUE, which might be the oddest thing I've ever seen someone argue here at Wikipedia. This guy only came here because I warned him I was going to report him for similar offenses if he didn't knock it off. - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 22:06, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

None of that is true, you’re just digging the hole deeper. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:13, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Every word of it is true. Your current Talk page and your last account's Talk page are littered with warnings and suspensions for this type of foolishness. The "Dog stuff" discussion on the Fred Malek page speaks for itself. - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 22:15, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Bbny-wiki-editor: The underlying question here is about your conduct. I don't think you've breached 3RR, since the oldest of the reverts listed above appears to be a bold change and not a wholesale removal. However, I also don't see where your edits qualify for an exception to 3RR. This looks like a content dispute, so you should proceed with it as such, including working to build consensus. —C.Fred (talk) 22:21, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply, but with whom am I supposed to work? I deleted this content back in the summer and it remained deleted for weeks or months. It was only after Horse Eye's Back returned, with a new Wikipedia account, that the content was restored. It seems like the burden should be on him, but he likes to play this game where he makes an edit and then tells people not to make further edits without "taking it to the Talk page," which is like a cutesy way for his edits to be the final word. It's also impossible to have a rational discussion with a person who believes sources are ENTITLED to be mentioned on Wikipedia. The Talk page discussion with this guy was like a bad Seinfeld episode. - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 22:33, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@C.Fred: in the context of four reverts [40][41][42][43] of that same text before the ones on the the 23rd I would say its a revert not a bold edit. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:28, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

True or false? You used a new Wikipedia account to restore material that was deleted back in the summer and stayed deleted until you created your new Wikipedia account. You're obviously the user formerly known as Horse Eye Jack who is all over the Malek page's history. Let's not waste more time here playing games. - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 22:33, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am 100% open about being the user formerly known as Horse Eye Jack, what game are you suggesting I am playing? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:38, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Which game are you playing? Hard to count them all. You used a new Wikipedia account to restore material that was deleted several months ago. You claim not to understand DUE, but then started invoking DUE to defend your position. You suggested I insert a pared-down version of the deleted material, which I did yesterday, only to have that immediately reverted, with the full four-paragraph version being restored. You've alternately claimed there was and wasn't a consensus to keep the debated material, as recently as today, AFTER restoring material you admitted there was no consensus to keep. And now you've filed a frivolous complaint against me for doing things you've done yourself. Like a lot of people here, I guess you have way too much time on your hands. - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 23:00, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bbny-wiki-editor, C.Fred suggested you didn't violate 3R (yet), but it's pretty obvious you've been reverting in that article for a while, and thus one could say you're guilty of longterm edit warring anyway. If you do not wish to get blocked, you should probably stop. In addition, your comments here are instances of harassment and certainly display a lack of good faith, and if you continue down this road you can be blocked for a combination of disruptive edits. I am going to revert you since it is my opinion that you are indeed an edit warrior on this article, and you should not have an advantage. Drmies (talk) 03:22, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's funny. There's no way I've been more disruptive or done more edit warring on that page than Horse Eye Jack and his new identity, Horse Eye's Back. I also haven't posted a single word here that isn't true, so it's unclear how any of it qualifies as "bad faith" "harassment." Also, in your revert notice, you claimed I reverted "clearly against consensus." Since when is two to one a "consensus" for anything, let alone a clear consensus? The debated material was deleted from the page for many months until Horse Eye's Back created a new Wiki account and came back for more edit warring. Why was it okay for him to restore it without a Talk page discussion? Do the rules apply to everyone here or only some people? - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 03:43, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Result: No action. As User:C.Fred noted above, the diffs provided don't show a 3RR violation because only the last three were reverts. I advise User:Bbny-wiki-editor not to remove the dog-related material again without consensus on the talk page.

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

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Marxism%E2%80%93Leninism

Comments: BunnyyHop has a long history on the page Marxist-Leninism extremely disruptive edits, and keeps trying to get around discussion on talk, his edits have been reverted multiple times be me Davide King KIENGIR, and Asarlaí. He strangely believe that not responding to a proposal is a form of support and thinks the time frame for this is an hour. Despite there being a clear consensus against BunnyyHop, BunnyHopp refuses to listen and tries to edit the page despite making disruptive edits. I have tried so hard to try to get this editor to stop, the editor has already edit warred before, violating edit sanctions. We tried discussing this on the talk, editors like Davide King has stated this, yet BunnyHop and refuses to listen.

I tried to remove the POV (explained in the talkpage) inculcated in the lead of the article by making a small synthesis of the basics of the ideology. Davide King has been very helpful - he taught me to use the sandbox to alter the article - which I did User:BunnyyHop/sandbox so I could avoid being accused of edit warring. He has also been very understanding and specific on parts of my text which contained a POV without me knowing it, and also instructed me to add more secondary sources such as academic works - which I did. Very pleasant experience. I also moved the criticism from the lead to the overview, so it's packed together with the rest of the contents. My experience with this user is not the best - I don't understand what he really wants me to alter. He also accused my text of belonging in a "poorly written biased ML blog" and that "maybe you should start a blog, instead of trying to spread your ideology here". I only want to make the article truthful, and I used a lot of sources. This user says it's not neutral because it doesn't contain bad things some states did in the lead, which I find incredibly POV. It's not the case with the article of any other political ideology.

Anyway, my problem with this user is that I can't find way to reach a consensus, even though I asked him many times to be specific. He's always reverting my edits, no matter what I do. BunnyyHop (talk) 00:20, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No where did you establish consensus, other editors thanked me for reverting your edits, I only reverted a fraction your edits, the other reverts were done by other editors because your edits were extremely biased. You are clearly editing against consensus on the talk and the discussion is still ongoing, and your proposals don't have support and are reverted. You keep editing without a consensus and the discussion on the talk page, thinking that not responding is "consensus". Your most recent edits prove this. No where did you establish consensus this, your edits have mostly been reverted by Davide King, KIENGIR and Asarlaí, I am not even the main person reverting your edits. It's extremely disruptive to the page.

Davide King himself stated you were edit warring and warned you against it saying that sanctions might come, and you still went to edit war. All of your edits have been reverted because none of them are of encyclopedic standards and you keep removing sections of the genocides, massacres and atrocities committed by Marxist-Leninist dictators and you keep editing the article despite being against consensus, as well as poorly written and poorly formatted sections. That's why you are being reported. Vallee01 (talk) 00:35, 25 November 2020 (UTC

Editors have thanked me for the my edit which you reverted, but that doesn't matter. I have not removed those things, I have moved them to the appropriate place which is NOT in the lead. You have made edits that were not backed by sources, some of which I removed. As for poor formatting, why don't you edit my sandbox so it's better formatted? I don't think your extreme POV (should a paragraph of the lead of the liberalism article be about what liberalism defends, or the horrors of slavery? It's completely absurd and non NPOV) is encyclopedic. I decided to change it - because it's an incredibly biased way to structure the article - by writing the basics of Marxism-leninism, all sentences being excellently sourced. Davide King only reverted my edits once IIRC - he used the talk page to tell me what I should improve and I did - to source better that paragraph and other things. You simply say there's no consensus, I ask why and you don't say anything concrete other than "poor formating", or provoke me to create my own blog or something else. In this moment I ask myself - What am I supposed to do? This editor doesn't suggest me anything useful. My edits are ALWAYS backed by sources. KIENGIR said he had the same problem as Davide and not much more, something I solved by adding more and better sources, changing sentences, etc. Asarlaí didn't revert my edits, you did. Colleague Isabella, on the other hand, thanked my edit. I'm not "establishing consensus" not because I don't want to, it's impossible when communication is little and I don't feel like the people who are against really put an effort to establish consensus, especially when my edits who are very well sourced are thrown in the garbage because of "poor formatting". What's disruptive is not caring about my edits and then saying that "there's no consensus so you can't edit the page", no matter how well I've sourced it. My edits were always according to what was told me in the talk page - I recommend the colleague who is reviewing this to check the edit story on my sandbox and the talk page of the article. I find it a little weird you reference edits from October, because not only was I newer on Wikipedia, it was also about a different matter. BunnyyHop (talk) 01:45, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are just stating false information, I never wrote the section on massacres and genocides on Marxist-Leninism, Davide King and Asarlaí wrote most of that: [54][55]. I don't think you understand I had little to nothing to do with the section of mass murders committed by Marxist-Leninists, I simply restored them because you keeped vandalizing the page. "Davide King has only reverted my edits once" Is just completely false. Davide King made most of the sections which you are trying to remove.

Seriously it's not hard to fact check this to see through your obvious fibbing. It's not hard to see your violations, you can't hide it. Vallee01 (talk) 02:18, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are still in October. I barely remember anymore what happened almost two months ago. I'm talking about when I first started writing certain parts of the article a few days ago. I do not care about what happened almost two months ago, it's not relevant anymore. I care about now, where I have my fully sourced and well-structured article just waiting to see what everyone says and finally make it go forward, which you are still not addressing. I only want you to tell me where's the problem in my edit so I can fix it - or you can fix it yourself, my sandbox is open for everyone to edit. You have an objection to my edit - what is it? I have barely touched those parts in my sandbox. If I committed an infraction, that was 2 months ago, when I was still kind of new to Wikipedia. It really feels like you don't want to reach consensus but to provoke me (as you did in the talk page) to make me more prone to committing infractions. If you wanted to reach consensus you would edit the parts of my sandbox where you see a problem (or just point out and I'd do it) instead of wasting our time here, seeing if I'm gonna get banned for what I did 2 months ago or not. I'm most likely gonna leave this here and let the admin do his judgement. Is it possible to redirect this conversation into a dispute solver, or any other user/program in charge of dealing with a problem like ours? User:BunnyyHop|BunnyyHop]] (talk) 02:42, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly you have been edit warring for over a month! I tried so hard to get you to discuss things on the talk, not just me other editors emplored you to go to the talk page. You returned over the last week to keep edit warring from over a month ago, your disruptive behavior isn't new. A month ago Asarlaí told you clearly "revert: more than one editor has opposed you deleting well-referenced parts of the lead, take it to the talkpage," you didn't appear to listen. You keep deleting well referenced sections without explanation and you keep trying to get away from discussing on the talk. You haven't stopped your disrputive edits. Vallee01 (talk) 03:01, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Result: User:BunnyyHop is warned for long term edit warring at Marxism–Leninism. They may be blocked if they revert the article again without getting a prior consensus in their favor on the talk page. If you are unsure of what others think, you can open up an WP:RFC. At present nobody on Talk seems to agree with you. EdJohnston (talk) 18:35, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Since this user couldn't find a valid reason, they started calling me "problematic" and "not here to build an encyclopedia" because of my talk page history. I demand at least a warning. nyxærös 15:13, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The valid reason was that the file has been there since 2008, and it has not been an issue for over 12 years. It wasn't a problem that was discovered, and in light of that lack of urgency, WP:BRD could have been followed. I do have concerns about your longevity on Wikipedia based on your attitude with this case and many other cases in the past few months and a related block due to this. WP:NOTHERE includes "General pattern of disruptive behavior: A long-term history of disruptive behavior with little or no sign of positive intentions," and "Treating editing as a battleground: Excessive soapboxing, escalation of disputes, repeated hostile aggressiveness, and the like, may suggest a user is here to fight rather than here to build an encyclopedia." Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 15:31, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment FWIW there's an ongoing discussion about this. Also, Erik has not broken 3RR as WP:3RR clearly states - "An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page". I don't see a fourth revert. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 16:19, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: WP:3RR also states: "Even without a 3RR violation, an administrator may still act if they believe a user's behavior constitutes edit warring, and any user may report edit warring with or without 3RR being breached." nyxærös 16:53, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Disclosure: Erik (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) left a message on my talk page because I blocked Nyxaros (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) last year for incivility. Because of my previous involvement, I'm not going to apply any blocks. But I will add my commentary...

Firstly, Nyxaros' replacement of the poster image appears to be in keeping with the guidelines at WP:FILMPOSTER. The previous image, while it's been there for twelve years, is a preview poster ("This Fall") and not a theatrical release poster.
Neither editor made effective use of talk pages to resolve this dispute. Nyxaros opened up a discussion on the article talk page, then Erik opened up a new section instead of directly responding to Nyxaros' thread. Both editors left messages at each others' talk pages -- Nyxaros to template Erik, and Erik left a contentious message at Nyxaros' page -- with neither editor trying to calmly discuss the matter.
I blocked Nyxaros in August 2019 for incivility following a prior admin's warning. The same pattern of behavior has resumed in this interaction. Examples:

1 ES: "...it is clear that you don't know anything about this issue"
2 ES: "...Since you don't do your research correctly, maybe you can understand that from just looking at "THIS FALL" or English language? Hmm, maybe not..."

...and also in other recent, unrelated interactions. Examples:

1 ES threatens an anon with admin action for good faith editing: "no, you will be blocked if you continue to do so"
2 ES: "...I don't think you should see yourself eligible to edit further on both of these pages/files."

Personal recommendations

That both editors be cautioned to use better judgment when dealing with edit disputes, and to use talk pages more appropriately.
That Nyxaros (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) be given a lengthier block for repeated violations of WP:CIVIL.

Additional note to Nyxaros -- While you may have been correct on the technical merits of one movie poster over another in this case, your tone is not acceptable for this project. Being technically correct NEVER gives you the right to try to bully other editors. Stop.

Respectfully, caknuck _° needs to be running more often 16:49, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding WP:FILMPOSTER, it isn't a license to go around fixing what isn't broken. The thrust of that guideline is to stop editors from fighting over their preferred posters during a film's marketing campaign, since there can be many variations. The image that has been around since 2008 has been completely sufficient, and from what I can tell, even if it differs from the Cannes poster with the words "THIS FALL", that is a pedantic and nearly-invisible difference. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 18:13, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

After some consideration, I've reverted myself and have recused myself from discussion. See my talk-page comment here. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 23:17, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am one of the participants in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ethnic groups#"Germans", "French people" etc - ethnicity vs nationality.

Yes, this report is ueseless, better BOOMERANGish, the user fails to understand our basic policies (consensus building, dispute resolution guidelines etc.). The sad thing he reiterates those false accusations that have been already debunked, I participated in the discussion both on the article's talk page, and the wikiproject page, I explained everything, and contrary what the user say (as another user just reinforced, etc.), no consensus has been reached (the user went forward with a bold edit, admittedly ([66]), and contrary what the user says, per defintion (if we are strict) the edit warring started by ([67]) this edit, when the user without any modification pushed his version with no consensus, while I tried to rephrase it more times before telling him if it goes like so on, the the page will have to be restored). I answered to the user's weird accusations (stonewalling, funny, restoring to status quo is the standard process, which is not favoring anyone's version, after more trials), disruptivity is as well not the case, I assume with a good faith the lack of experience in the resolution regarding such issues.(KIENGIR (talk) 18:51, 26 November 2020 (UTC))[reply]

Nope, it is the most easy to spot it wasn't, as reinforced by the other editor, just because two agreed, does not mean everybody agreed, you did not even wait for everyone's feedback, you simply don't understand how consensus building works.

See block log on user, who is not as new as their account age may suggest.

CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 16:07, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Should be an easy WP:BOOMERANG and especially so for an editor who has an established block record. The complaint is invalid because the consensus for the removal of the material in question long pre-existed the revert that was the basis for the first difference of the listed revert - that will be evident for anybody who reads the "paragraph removal" section on the associated talk page. As for the complainant himself, administrators should note that he has been WP:FOLLOWING the edits I've made on two separate pages (Air defense identification zone and Taiwan News) and has most likely committed a 3RR violation on one of them (4 reverts on the Taiwan News page within 24 hours - [68], [69] [70], [71]). Administrators should also be aware that this isn't the first time the complainant has engaged in this type of harassment either - he has been doing the same thing to User:Amigao and User:Pasdecomplot (and no doubt many others - these two users are just the most recent ones that I could find who've been subject to this editor's harassment) and apparently that's been going for a few months now even though he was handed a block a few months prior (on 24 June 2020 to be exact) for, again, doing the same thing to a third, uninvolved editor. The best course of action would probably be if the administrators could just drop the hammer and start imposing severe sanctions in response to this complainant's pattern of disruptive editing because this really does look like an obvious case of an editor who just clearly isn't here to build the encyclopedia. Flickotown (talk) 04:07, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The idea I followed you to 2020_United_States_election_protests is pure fantasy, given my edits at the POTUS and Senate articles dating to 7 Nov when news outlets called Pennsylvania and the election for Biden.

Conveniently omitting that the "Controversy" section you had removed was the result of an AN/I 3rd Opinion discussion, your lecturing of BRD can only ring hollow. As to the spurious counting of 3RR, the 2nd diff clearly is not a revert, as that material had never appeared on the page before, nor any of the revisions dating from before your May edit and the latest "dispute". The 3rd diff is a semi-automated usage of User:Zhaofeng Li/reFill, building on the link added within the 2nd diff.

Your claim of WP:HARASSMENT of Amigao will need far stronger and persistent evidence than your own word.

As to the 24 June block, there is no possibility that you did not notice the phrasing "feuding with [editor name]", which was cited both in the log and the admin's custom message. A feud simply doesn't occur between two uninvolved editors.

I did not even have to search that far back to find an example of a blatant personal attack from Flickotown: "That's coming from a person with a photo of Gramsci, a person whose views was all about the fringe", let alone the May/June attacks at Talk:Rania Khalek (still un-redacted / re-factored despite talk page warning), a commentator on the already editing-contentious Syrian Civil War: "I would explain more particularly when it comes to your ignorance (or seeming ignorance) of your own bias, but for somebody who likes to boast on your own talkpage about the thousands of edits you've made on Wikipedia I probably just shouldn't bother" CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 04:37, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

oh wow I didn't even realize that our history actually went that far back to the Rania Khalek article. So it seems like an interaction ban probably is in order in addition to the severe sanctions that should be imposed in response to your pattern of disruptive editing.

Stop trying to gaslight everyone and draw this false equivalence between our conduct as if that's supposed to successfully deflect from your not here edits and editing. You can do your hardest to act like an archaeologist and go around and dig up as many isolated incidents of my problematic conduct as possible (and I admit, I should have used better language for the examples you found), but it doesn't compare to your months (perhaps years) of edit warring with multiple editors across multiple articles over multiple areas of disagreement. It just doesn't. The facts don't lie: my conduct on the talk apge for the 2020 United States election protests convincingly shows it's very clear I've come a long way from my earlier days while your hounding of my edits shows that you've learned nothing from your earlier blocks.

I didn't say you followed me to the election protests article, I said you followed me to the Air defense identification zone and Taiwan News pages (which is true). I wasn't aware that there was a controversy section on the talk page for the Taiwan News article prior to my revert of your revert, but now that I am, I've taken the discussion to the talk page (even though I am well within my rights to revert your disruptive editing per WP:HOUNDING.) And the actions towards User:Amigao is harassment (funny how you didn't mention your actions towards User:Pasdecomplot), but since we are on a noticeboard involving administrator's it's best to let them educate you and tell you the truth (instead of reducing it to a i-say-you-say pissing match). As I said this complaint should be an easy WP:BOOMERANG because it just doesn't have anything to stand on. Flickotown (talk) 05:57, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Simply because you have not launched personal attacks (the bare minimum) at Talk:2020 United States election protests does not mean you ignored Liz's advice (on 18 Nov) to seek consensus before further removals, of which there are multiple linked to above.

Pasdecomplot was blocked for their own WP:ASPERSION-casting conduct, if anything the mentioning of them as somehow being subject to unfortunate circumstances (namely, harassment) is gaslighting. Especially as I was not mentioned once (nor did I !vote in favor of the proposed 1-month block or 6-month sanction), I will take no lectures in being told the truth.

You say that because you don't actually know what's going on: you're just trying hard to give the administrators an impression that you know what's going on. I didn't ignore her advice because my removal was a bold removal, that is a removal that should not have been controversial (I removed material that was duplicated on two other articles.) As soon as another editor took issue with it, I took it to the talk page. Your comments would apply only if I made a contested removal, that is removing material which was previously restored and did not have the corresponding consensus on the talk page to restore - not what happened here. As for your dustup with User:Pasdecomplot, it doesn't matter if he's blocked or not. THe point is your disruptive editing is the common denominator for the issues that at least four other editors have with you - and no I don't mean one-liners on issues that I don't remember to editors that I don't have an interest in remembering, I mean your model style of harassment where you edit war with multiple editors across multiple articles over multiple areas of disagreement over a period of months, if not years. Not that you care as the whataboutery in your comments makes clear - which is precisely why the complaint should be an easy WP:BOOMERANG Flickotown (talk) 07:49, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mean one-liners on issues that I don't remember—Astonishing facetiousness in light of the fact these are not one-liners, and do not date from Dec 2018 / Jan 2019, when your account was opened, but rather, this June. As you did not take the simple step of checking barely 10 edits back to determine the order of the "bold" edit there, you should not be assessing your own edits as bold removal. That is up to non-involved editors such as @Liz: to judge.

The thread was opened regarding your conduct, nevertheless you falsely proceeded to claim I violated 3RR at Taiwan News (when it is obvious that there was only 1 revert each of 2 separate edits), an ironic echo of these vitriolic WP:WIKILAWYERing remarks. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 08:22, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is all true, but note the difference in how I've responded and how you've responded. I actually take ownership for those comments I made. I've actually proved that I've learned from my previous mistakes. That is why unlike you I don't need to get all defensive and hysterical in my responses. That is why unlike you I don't need to go through every single comment that you've made for me to prove my point. As I said the facts don't lie: my conduct on the talk page for the 2020 United States election protests shows it's very clear I've come a long way from my earlier days. You on the other hand can't even bring yourself to admit that you've been hounding other editors even though you were blocked for precisely that reason. That's how pathetic this whole "complaint" of yours actually is. For your sake I suggest that you take your own advice and leave the rest of this complaint to non-involved editors. The more you type, the harder the boomerang is going to be. Flickotown (talk) 08:46, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You had best not conflate WP:HOUND (by definition one-way) with a two-way feud. Let there be no pretense of ownership for remarks, given this gem of an uncivil edit summary, which, incidentally was what brought you to my attention again. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 09:00, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not conflating anything. What you are doing is hounding. You're the one following my edits on the ADIZ and Taiwan News article when I couldn't care less about doing the same to you. Your feud with that editor is just another example of your WP:NOTHERE edits and editing.

Profanity is allowed so i don't see what the problem with this edit summary of mine. I stand by what I said and I would do it again. I'm not swearing at anybody, I don't either know or care who wrote the previous material and I'm not doing it in the course of a conversation either. Obviously it'd be a different story if I did know who the author of the material was but that's not the case here. One more example of how I can prove that I've been learning from the mistakes I've made, especially during my earliest days on this encyclopedia.

"which, incidentally was what brought you to my attention again." Damn. I don't know where this obsession comes from (apparently I've been occupying a place in your attention span all this time) but whatever the cause of it is it must have really got under your skin. I'm that important to you am i? Flickotown (talk) 09:32, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is no WP:HOUNDing here. If two points can solidly illustrate a pattern, statisticians wouldn't need any training!: Anyone can view for themselves that the last time you and I were both at the same venue (May / Jun of this year), I had not interacted with you at all. Indeed, between the last interaction in Feb 2019 and that non-interaction where DeltaSnowQueen, you had made 68 edits. Between that Feb 2019 I mentioned and 24 Nov, that's nearly 200, a majority of your current edit total.

You have not learned much in the way of self-conduct. Even now, your usage of the term hysterical (describing a mental disorder) above parrots your poor conduct (1 2) from the early days of your present account. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 15:35, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Shortly after claiming prior personal attacks were meaningless "one-liners", Flickotown proceeds with "your wild imagination running riot" in response to a simple request for third-party sourcing supporting their claim. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 08:32, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's better than you threatening me with a block. (I don't see how that's a personal attack, but if it is then I'll strike it out) Flickotown (talk) 08:51, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It may be of interest to point out that Flickotown has been blocked for this kind of 3RR-behavior before. He may point at CaradhrasAiguo's block list, but:

those are three blocks over a course of almost six years, the first of which occured four-and-a-half years after their registration,
two of those were related to Flickotown's frustrating behavior before,
and one out of those three blocks was lifted by an administrator when it was found to be excessive and was only related to Flickotown.

Meanwhile, Flickotown himself ought to be careful at whose block logs he's pointing. As said, CaradhrasAiguo only received three blocks within six years, the first of which occuring almost five years after their arrival, whereas Flickotown himself has only been here for a little under two years and managed to get blocked within a few weeks of his first arrival, without it being lifted, and his provocative behavior has not only led to a block of himself, but also to one of CaradhrasAiguo's blocks which was found to be excessive.

Furthermore, I'd like to repeat my summary of what Super Goku V has written about Flickotown's behavior that has led us here. Flickotown seems to manufacture "consent" for his edit-warring behavior by means of:

inventing invisible unicorn users to "agree" with him,
deliberately misinterpreting suggestions for alternative phrasings as "consent" for absolute removal without replacement,
and interpreting it as "consent" when people don't respond to him on the talkpage within two minutes.

All in the face of absolute majorities of a number of different people telling him repeatedly he's clearly in the wrong, and yet he keeps offending whenever he thinks nobody's looking.

Honestly, even just having seen his behavior during the past few days over at 2020 United States election protests and its talkpage, and now looking at his past history during the past hour, I seriously doubt he will ever become a useful contributor to Wikipedia. --2003:DA:CF2D:2700:1C3C:ED1E:F45C:C19D (talk) 02:12, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Borsoka reported by User:Boyar Bran (Result: )

Previous version reverted to: "Basarab's name is of Turkic origin.[7][8] Its first part is the present participle for the verb bas- ("press, rule, govern"); the second part matches the Turkic honorific title aba or oba ("father, elder kinsman"), which can be recognized in Cuman names, such as Terteroba, Arslanapa and Ursoba.[9] Basarab's name implies that he was of Cuman or Pecheneg ancestry, but this hypothesis has not been proven.[8][10][11] At least four royal charters from the 14th century refer to Basarab as a Vlach.[12] Charles I of Hungary referred to him as "Basarab, our disloyal Vlach" in 1332.[1][11]" [72]

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on user talk page: "Hello Borsoka. I've seen that once again you've took interest in editing my contribution. I'd like to point out to you that the modern Romanian language does indeed have a Daco-Thracian substrate, fact agreed upon by all universities in this country and abroad. There's no reason to put a undue weight tag there... As for the rest of the tags, I'll leave them there until we reach a consenus in the talk page. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Boyar Bran (talk • contribs) 01:57, 19 November 2020 (UTC) 1. Yes, "Daco-Thracian" may be the substrate language of Romanian. Or, it is also a possibility, that early medieval Romanians borrowed a specific pastoralist vocabulary from Proto-Albanian and this specific vocabulary is described now as heritage of a supposed substrate language. Both views are mentioned in international scholarly literature. 2. Romanian also borrowed words from Slavic and Turkic languages, from Hungarian, from Western Romance languages. If you understand Hungarian, you certainly realize that the name "Basarab" is extremly similar to two Hungarian words ("to make love" in slang and "Arab"). Could we assume that the name is of Hungarian origin based on this similarity? No, because similarity does not make a connection. Borsoka (talk) 02:15, 19 November 2020 (UTC) Well, it's not the nicest of assumptions, but you could nullify in the same manner the cuman theory, which is also based on such connections. The Proto-Albanian language may have also derived from a Thracian idiom, hence some similarities between our languages. Your derogatory way of using "pastoralist vocabulary" shows me that you may have indeed a visible adversion to Romanians. Keep going like that and you'll also find your way into ANI. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Boyar Bran (talk • contribs) 02:37, 19 November 2020 (UTC) No, the Cumans dominated the Pontic steppes just decades before Basarab's birth and Cumans made up a significant part of the population of the Golden Horde in the 14th century. Making a connection between a language widely spoken in the region in the 12th-14th century and the name of a ruler born in the 13th century is quite logical. However, making connection between a ruler's birth and a language spoken in the region more than a millenium before his birth is a fringe theory. Sorry, but I think my Talk page is not the best place to discuss this issue. Please use the article's Talk page. Borsoka (talk) 02:48, 19 November 2020 (UTC)" [73]

Comments:
The entire issue is centered around Basarab's name origin. Basically disputing between either a Cuman origin or an indigenous Romanian origin. User:Borsoka is POV pushing, he's also an example of WP:TENDENTIOUS, he constantly removes my contribution because he's considering it fringe. Truth is there's no official academic consenus on the matter of Basarab's name origin. However Borsoka is dogmatically following his theory alone. As far as Wikipedia policy goes, the theory I'm supporting isn't un-academical nor departs significantly from the mainstream views. If there'd even be a mainstream view in the field of Romanian linguistics, Sorin Paliga's theory (the one that I'm supporting) isn't unorthodox. Neagu Djuvara's theory (the one Borsoka is supporting) also isn't standard by any means, Djuvara has just written a small number of pages regarding a possible origin of Basarab's name, yet Borsoka pushes that theory like an absolute truth.

Hilarious. (Just for the record: 1. I placed tags in the article requesting sources to verify that the statements do no represent a marginal/fringe theory. No source has so far been added. 2. I approached two wikiprojects asking comments ([78], [79]). Nobody has so far commented the issue. 3. I requested a third opinion ([80]). It remained unanswered. 4. Paliga does not claim that Basarab's name is of Romanian origin. He claims that Basarab's name is possibly of Daco-Thracian origin, comparing the name of a 13th-century ruler with words from a poorly attested language which died out in the early 7th century at the latest.)
