I am concerned

This edit is not exactly in the spirit of WP:BITE. This user isn't a vandal; he's just someone who didn't understand the rules and got angry when he didn't understand your warning. He's likely to be a potential useful editor once he learns his way around. Why not be nice to him? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 18:30, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

I agree I could of have been nicer. I can get angry sometimes. Also, this comment will NOT be archived, until I archive all again. Andrewrp^Tally-ho! 18:35, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I've archived things I just didn't want to look at, too. :) -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 18:38, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

I still won't Andrewrp^Tally-ho! 18:40, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Seriously

Stop reverting that guy. Now. I'm not going to block you for 3RR, but those edits are NOT obvious vandalism. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 16:05, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

It appears you have abused your rollback privileges, edit warring on Electronic prescribing. You no longer have them. Toddst1 (talk) 16:08, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Toddst1 blocked the other user, and removed your rollback instead of blocking you. I probably would have done neither, but I have always disliked giving out 3RR blocks and whatnot. The only thing I can really tell you is DO NOT revert the fourth time unless there can be NO possible doubt that the edit in question is vandalism. There was a lot of possible doubt in this case. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 16:12, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

EW using rollback is exceptionally uncool. Be glad you're not blocked. Toddst1 (talk) 16:14, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Not easily. You could probably post to WP:AN, but you should know that if you had not had rollback, you would unquestionably be blocked now. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 16:16, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Judging from the revision history of electronic prescribing[1] User:Just James should have consequences similar to those suffered by andrewrp and User:Qelknap- he reverted 14 times just today.·Maunus·ƛ· 16:22, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Let's be clear about this: Qelknap was editing Wikipedia in a disruptive manner (200+ edits) prior to what you're labelling as an edit war.--Just James ^T/C 16:32, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't think you can justify 14 reverts using rollback in a 24 hour period with that dif, or with any other dif that isn't unsourced defamatory information about a living person. ·Maunus·ƛ· 17:12, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Well let me put this clearly. On Huggle, I saw Qelknap's 200+ nonsensical edits to Parliament be reverted and he/she received their first warning. They continued to edit Wikipedia in a disruptive manner and were repeatedly warned. So their "colour and number" changed progressively from 2, to 3, to 4 (yellow, to brown, to red). I was never one of the editors who reverted their original edits, nor did I warn them. When the user was finally reported, I naturally assumed that there was consensus that the edits were unconstructive and constituted vandalism. I then proceeded to revert changes they made to Wikipedia until the case was resolved at WP:AIV. Perfectly normal practice. If you want more information, feel free to browse the history pages relating to Qelknap.--Just James ^T/C 17:20, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Hmmm I thought WP:3RR was completely normal practice?·Maunus·ƛ· 17:23, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Hmmm, it was my determination that the edits were a blatant attempt to disrupt Wikipedia - hence obvious vandalism. If you disagree, you are well within your rights to do so. Know this: I never once felt as though I was engaged in an edit war. I simply thought I was reverting the edits of an immature vandal. Now I'll be off. Take care.--Just James ^T/C 17:33, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Disruptive editing and vandalism is not the same thing. I honestly don't feel that someone who can revert 14 times without considering it an editwar or think about reading 3RR an extra time, or even without posting a notice on the talk page, should have rollback rights.·Maunus·ƛ· 17:40, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Sorry

Hello admin--I assure you, most of the time I am not joking nor do I make "joke" edits. I haven't touched an article for a few hours. And when I did edit, it was GOOD work.75.21.114.176 (talk) 17:00, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Let's talk... per AN

Start now...

Please see my comments above. And yes, I still have rollback rights (for now).--Just James ^T/C 17:41, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

It seem Toddst1 on his own looked into it further and took it away from you too (I was wondering why it hadn't been done). Please keep watching here, I'm still waiting on something, thanks. Gwen Gale (talk) 17:48, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, that's it. I suppose it's time I leave Wikipedia after nearly 3 frustrating years.--Just James ^T/C 17:49, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
