Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring

Welcome to the edit warring noticeboard
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.

Comments:
User has ownership issues with this article and is ostensibly asking for help yet rejecting any edits that do not agree with her pro-Israel agenda. She is cherry picking quotes that support her point of view and removing any quotes that are balanced or neutral.

She is also removing important, sourced facts from the article that do not support his agenda, such as that RFK was 22 at the time of his trip and only spent several weeks in Palestine.

I would also like to note that Mbz1 has a serious problem in the way she treats Wikipedia as a battlefield. As this edit shows she seems to believe he is "fighting for a cause" and not merely writing an encyclopedia. It may not be relevant here, but she has been extremely uncivil towards me in the past ([13], [14], [15]) and other Palestinian users such as Tiamut (talk · contribs) ([16]).

Amazingly, Mbz1 has even removed such objective, important information as the dates that RFK was in Palestine simply because they don't further her agenda. This user really needs to improve their understanding of neutrality on Wikipedia. Factsontheground (talk) 07:30, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

• FYI, Factsontheground, Mbz1 is a woman, not a man. With respect to Robert F. Kennedy, I see as much revert-warring from you as from her. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 05:15, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

    • To the closing administrator. May I please ask you to note that me and the filing party are involved in the discussion at the article's talk page, where we have agreed on some edits. Apparently filing party agreed not to add a quote that is not from Robert Kennedy's reports he wrote in 1948. The last edit I've done to the article was done 10 hours ago. I was mote than surprised to see the report. Please also notice that this report was filed right after we have agreed to discuss changes here, and there were no more reverts ever since. Please also see the discussion page of the article in particular user:George and mine extensive and successful negotiating.--Mbz1 (talk) 10:50, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Undefeatedcooler reverts the removal of the Chinese family name template, even though other two other users (Talk:Bruce Lee#Template:Chinese name and Template talk:Chinese name#Bruce Lee a Chinese name?) also agree that it serves no purpose for "Bruce Lee", since the sequence of first and family name follows here Western convention anyway. He has been blocked for edit warring on the article in the recent past and he is a classic single-purpose account. Morover, he has thrown racist allegations at me for the second time.

—Gun Powder Ma (talk) 11:41, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

PS: Single-purpose user continues his policy of mindessly reverting. Gun Powder Ma (talk) 13:14, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

PPS: The single-purpose account reverts well-referenced material. He points to the talk page and request consensus, but at the talk page, he shows nothing which suppports his opinion, while he seems to suffer from the delusion that consensus would mean that no changes or improvements on the article can be made by other users until he agrees to them - which, of course, will never materialize. Gun Powder Ma (talk) 16:09, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

PPPS: I made a different edit on the basis of well-sourced references, and although I warned him of edit war, he still reverts it. Just curious, but for how long do you want to allow a single-purpose account disrupting one of the most visited articles in the Wikipedia. How often can he call established editors "racists" and remove/minimize any scholarly references to Lee's substantial non-Chinese ancestry, before someone says something? Gun Powder Ma (talk) 17:03, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

PPPPS: User continues to revert, even though I warned him of another revert in no unclear terms. The funny thing is he refuses to accept a reliably referenced statement by Bruce Lee's wife herself (!!!) that Bruce had German and Catholic ancestry. Another racist allegation (yawn).

Just for your information, dear admins: The article has 300.000 visitors (!!!) being one of the most wanted reads in the whole of Wikipedia - and a single user has been allowed for weeks now to disrupt it seriously. Please tell us when you wake up and are ready to act. Regards Gun Powder Ma (talk) 14:01, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

User:Factsontheground reported by User:Debresser (Result: Warned)

Page: Cave of the Patriarchs massacre (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
User being reported: Factsontheground (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

User:Factsontheground added a piece of information to Cave of the Patriarchs massacre in this edit of March 7. I have removed it since, and Factsontheground has insisted on restoring it a few times, as can be seen in the edit history of the article. On March 9, I opened a section about this issue on the talk page, where I and others have argued against inclusion of this piece of information. Factsontheground refuses to accept the fact that consensus is in disagreement with his opinion, and in this edit of March 13 has again added it (albeit in shortened form).

• 1st edit: [19]
• 2nd edit: [20]
• 3rd edit: [21]
• 4th edit: [22]

I have asked Factsontheground to accept that consensus disagrees with him, both in the talk page discussion, and on his talk page as well. [23]

Note: this is not a case of 3RR, but of general edit warring.

Desired outcome: a warning to Factsontheground to avoid edit warring and to restrict himself to consensus edits. Debresser (talk) 20:44, 13 March 2010 (UTC) Debresser (talk) 18:28, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Result - Factsontheground is warned. He insists on adding a passage claiming that in 2010, a group of Jews celebrated Baruch Goldstein's mass murder of Palestinians in 1994. Though he did not exceed 3RR, Factsontheground should be aware that Ynetnews says "A video obtained by Ynet depicts Jewish residents of east Jerusalem's Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood during their Purim celebrations singing songs of praise for Baruch Goldstein", without commenting on its veracity. The Jerusalem Post merely said that "a video was circulating on the internet." I hope he does not take these reports as a ringing endorsement that the events narrated in the video actually took place. At Talk:Cave of the Patriarchs massacre#Relevant, editors speculate that the video has been faked since the people singing are never shown on camera. Since Factsontheground does not have consensus for his change, he may be blocked if he restores this material again. Everyone, please remember this article is under WP:ARBPIA and admins may take a dim view of careless editing in this area. EdJohnston (talk) 22:32, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Is there anyway I can appeal this, because this is very silly.

I've seen some pretty funny consensuses in my time on Wikipedia, but Debresser + 2 other dudes who comment once is the weakest "consensus" yet. Not to mention that there is Zscarpia who is part of the debate but refuses to take any sides.

Secondly EdJohnston made judgements about the content. I thought WP:AN3 was not a content noticeboard, but a behaviour noticeboard. I thought judgements about content were supposed to remain at the relevant talk page.

Thirdly, my recent addition was a completely different compromise text that was not the same as the other 3 reverts. It was so different to say I was "reverting" is quite wrong. I was attempting to compromise my reducing the mention of the incident to a single sentence.

Also, why didn't you give me any time to reply before closing? I live in AEST and I was sleeping at the time.

Debresser also edit warred against me and ZScarpia to remove any mention of Purim and Ramadan from the lede even though we had a good, mainstream source (Time magazine) that described the significance which Debresser accused of "poor journalism".

I recently went to the trouble of finding a book quote that supported the common-sense mention in the lede in order to end the silliness once and for all; a book quote that significantly improved the sourcing of the article. And what do I get for my trouble? I am not "edit warring" on the article I am trying to improve it.

Debresser himself is edit warring about the simple factual title of the section in question, and has yet to provide any argument why it should not be in accordance with its content. [24]

The section is about people celebrating the massacre. Its not just about the veneration of Goldstein himself. That is a fact, not an opinion.

FWIW, ZScarpia seems to agree that I was not edit warring. [25]. As he says, "It may be seen as significant that none of Factsontheground's edits has involved hitting the Undo button."Factsontheground (talk) 23:34, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Please continue this on the Talk page of the article. This report lists four reverts by you. Though they are not within 24 hours, the four reverts all restore the possibly-bogus video to the article. I trust you will not consider a bogus video to be so fascinating that it simply must be included in our article. Per the usual admin detachment, if you can get consensus for this, it can go in.

Comments:

We've tried to resolve this on the article talk page. OpenFuture (talk) is not engaging in a rational discussion. After a long discussion with person who originally removed the material, as to why the material is relevant and should not be removed, OpenFuture removed the material again. It is referenced with a news source, but OpenFuture claims it is not relevant to the article because: "The section is about the WTC collapse and conspiracy theories concering it. The petition did not cause the collapse nor it is a conspiracy theory. It also gives undue weight to one of many petitions." --OpenFuture (talk) 18:22, 13 March 2010 (UTC). He or she is being completely unreasonable, for reasons discussed on the article talk page. The petition in question, to reopen the investigation into the collapses of the three World Trade Center buildings, has been signed by more than 1,000 architects and engineers, making it highly relevant to the article.

• I came back to WP after a few days off to see this edit war going on. My own take, as an infrequent contributor to the List page (and a longtime Watcher) is that User:Abductive began editing in an aggressive manner, and also violating the 3RR, despite User:Wisdompower's plea for time to make sensible changes. Moreover, Abductive quoted WP:BLP in justification, which does not seem to pertain to lists. Bellagio99 (talk) 18:52, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Comments:[User:Loremaster made 4 reverts in less than 90 minutes, all in an effort to include a top 10 reasons to hate Oprah reference in an article about her magazine. I tried to explain that such contentious content is a violation of wikipedia's living person policy which states that inflamatory material must be immediately removed, especially if poorly sourced (Loremaster's source is an unknown writer on an obscure website). Further other editors have tried to convince Loremaster to remove the living person violation in the past[37] but Loremaster not only insists on reverting them too[38][39] but when they try to compromise by placing a tag citing POV concerns, he/she removes that too [40]. It's Loremaster's way or the highway! It's also interesting to note that while Loremaster adds inflamatory material about a living person to a wikipedia article, he/she does not tolerate criticism on his/her talk page, choosing instead to immediately archive it[41] Dintonight (talk) 03:55, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Blocked – for a period of 72 hours Straightforward 3RR vio, previous block for edit warring. Filer has also violated 3RR, but I'm not blocking at this time as BLP concerns are paramount and we allow editors some leeway in that.

How do you warn a dynamic IP, anyway. Anon clearly has no interest in collegial editing, see, for example [54].

• The history of the page in question, where various users and an admin tells the user that the comment should not be struck

Comments:

• Mbz1 was acting in good faith. She believed that by striking the comment in question, she was removing vandalism as permitted by WP:3RR. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 23:02, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
  • Vexorg's comment does not resemble vandalism in the slightest. Factsontheground (talk) 23:12, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
    • But the continuous reverts by you and other editors of my striking of the personal attack do. Breein1007 (talk) 23:16, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
      • Actually, with all due respect, no, they don't. If you want to know what vandalism looks like please see WP:VANDAL. Factsontheground (talk) 23:22, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
• The edits of the user filing this report should of course as usual be examined, and upon doing so it is evident that he too perpetuated this edit war. Here are two reverts done by Daedalus969: [64] and [65]. Also, it is fair to mention that user Factsontheground has joined in on the edit war with these two reverts: [66] and [67]. It is interesting to note that both users cited WP:TPO in their reverts, when in fact they were the ones violating this policy. The edit in question is a personal attack made by user Vexorg against Mbz1 on this AfD. The personal attack was a false claim that Mbz1 and a certain IP are the same user (ie: Mbz1 is using a sockpuppet). This comment came after a SPI was concluded and checkuser determined that Mbz1 and the IP were unrelated. Therefore, in line with WP:TPO, I struck out Vexorg's personal attack and added a note explaining why. Leaving the attack would influence other people's votes, because they would think that Mbz1 was using a sockpuppet and this would inevitably look bad and lead to counter votes. After my edit, the edit war ensued. It is also worth noting that these two users have shown a particular pattern of harassment of Mbz1 lately. They are not acting according to the WP:5P and certainly do not appear to be doing things that encourage positive collaboration and contribution on Wikipedia. I have already suggested that both of them drop this personal vendetta and find better things to do with their time. It seems that they did not take this suggestion to heart and have instead chosen to take the route of stalking Mbz1 and hounding her at any chance they can get. I hope an admin will consider this and take appropriate action. Breein1007 (talk) 23:06, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Additional note: both Daedalus969 and Factsontheground have been warned on their talk pages by an admin to stop reverting the edits at the AfD. I sincerely hope that they will follow this advice. Breein1007 (talk) 23:06, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Indeed, Factsontheground was only recently warned (User:Factsontheground reported by User:Debresser (Result: Warned)) on 00:10, 14 March 2010 (UTC), Factsontheground made a bad attempt a few days earlier User:Mbz1 reported by User:Factsontheground (Result: no action) --Shuki (talk) 23:14, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

The growing incivility demonstrated by this same group of editors is beginning to be too much. I really hope that an admin will take definitive action this time to show that such comments and editing patterns will not be tolerated on Wikipedia. This is not promoting positive collaboration or contribution to the encyclopedia, and is only leading to added hostility between editors. So far, warnings have proven to be ineffective. Maybe it is time to consider harsher consequences for personal attacks and incivility. Breein1007 (talk) 23:31, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Well sorry for adding a little levity to this discussion. I will try to stay po-faced and grim in the future. Factsontheground (talk) 23:46, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

It is definitely about you if you choose to butt in here and defend the accuser while you yourself are also showing similar editing issues. --Shuki (talk) 23:27, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Breein1007, It's interesting how you left out the fact that that same admin (Malik Shabazz) reverted Mbz1's alteration of Vexorg's comment and warned Mbz1 to stop doing it and to stop reverting in 2 separate warnings. It's almost like you were trying to put one over readers of this page by not telling them the whole truth, but I'm sure you were acting in good faith and have good reason to do so. Factsontheground (talk) 23:18, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

As a matter of fact, that is not how WP:AGF works. I note your sarcasm and hope that an admin will take these comments into consideration, because clearly your previous warning that Shuki is referring to didn't do the trick. What you fail to mention is that after the admin reverted Mbz1's edit and warned her, I alerted the admin about the policy at WP:TPO and for some reason, since then, the admin has not reverted again and has in fact requested that other editors stop reverting my striking of the edit. Breein1007 (talk) 23:25, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Stop acting like you know the reason people do things. Sure, it's related, but you don't know for fact if it's for the reason you think it is. Second, stop with the spouting of AGF. If you truly followed AGF, you wouldn't be making bad-faith accusations of others. Instead, you're giving it to the person you deserves it the least, and not anyone else. The person who has continuously taunted and insulted others, and continues to do so with no signs of stopping.— Dædαlus ^Contribs 23:32, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

I will request that you back off and stop your offensive. I'm trying to keep this discussion civil, but it is difficult to respond to comments like that. I am unaware of any comments directed at you or anyone else that have demonstrated bad faith on my part. Could you please identify them for me? Breein1007 (talk) 23:44, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Take a look in the mirror, and stop playing off Mb as the victim here. They are just as to blame. You refuse to warn them of PAs and incivility even though it is obvious they are being so, instead you warn other users of the very things that Mb is doing, despite the fact that they have not.

The following list is in no particular order. It is numbered so that when you reply, if you reply, you can reply in your own post without refactoring my own.

1. Acting like I and another user don't know when to stop reverting, despite the blatant lack of reverting on my part, directly after Mal warned me to stop. It had been some minutes since the lack of reverting after that warning which you noted, contrary to the few seconds that passed between my two spoken of reversions.
2. Calling our edits pathetic and deliberate twists. Clear bad-faith accusation, that you never retracted. Here you tell us not to comment on other people's motives, despite the fact that you just did that very thing in the previously linked diff.
3. Bad faith accusation, and insult
4. Accusation of continued harassment, despite the fact that I hadn't posted anything to the user's talk page since the ANI was filed
5. Telling me I don't understand the definition of a personal attack, again violating your own rule about guessing people's motives

There. All your bad-faith accusations, along with some hypocrisy, so if you could please be less offensive yourself, that would be great. Also, please practicing what you preach.— Dædαlus ^Contribs 00:29, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

So, like I said... you are showing a failure to understand the essence of WP:AGF. These diffs show no assumptions of bad faith on my part. I'll take one example, because I really don't want to keep wasting my time on this. #5: telling you that your understanding of "personal attack" is flawed. This has nothing to do with your motives, and clearly is unrelated to assuming good or bad faith. It's a simple observation that your comments indicated that you were misunderstanding the term. What did I say that had anything to do with your motives? Nothing. I put in great effort to assume good faith with all editors that I deal with, even when it is difficult in some circumstances. The examples you have cited do not demonstrate any assumptions of bad faith on my part. With that said, I am going to find a better use of my time now. Breein1007 (talk) 00:42, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

I like how you evade number two, which is a clear bad-faith accusation. You accused us of deliberately twisting his edits. How is that not bad faith when you don't know our motives. Again, take your own medicine.— Dædαlus ^Contribs 00:56, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

There is only one instance in which is is acceptable to attempt to attach an IP to a user, and that's when it's done for the purpose of a sockpuppetry accusation, however, in this case since the user has already been cleared of being attached to the IP by checkuser the attempt to attach them is unfounded, and thus is simply outing (bear in mind that outing doesn't have to be correct). Mbz1 has every right to remove personal information about them-self. I suggest that the comment about the IP is removed from the AfD as outing, but that no punishments are handed out, as all the users appear to be acting in good faith.

Controversial? Multiple sources (including academic peer-reviewed sources) make it clear that he is an apologist. This is not controversial in anyway.

The user Ari89 is not willing to discuss a controversial change he want to insert it into the lead of a semi-protected article, despite being told by 2 editors on two different occasions. Yesterday, I deliberately avoided further reverting so as to give him a chance to avoid hitting 4 RR, but he seem unwilling to listen.

A previous warning for the same behaviour by another user: [85]

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [86] The talk page is dominated by a discussion of the use of the term 'neoliberalism' to describe Labour's ideology, leading ultimately to a consensus to include the term as one 'ideological current' within the party. Multiple references to authoritative published sources are cited to ground this consensus on valid evidence. User has been invited to participate in the discussion on the talk page multiple times.

Comments:
This is not technically a violation of WP:3RR as the edits do not occur within a 24hr period. However this is clearly edit warring, as the same edit has been made persistently, without any attempt to engage with other editors on the talk page or with the published material cited, so the report is for edit warring rather than for a breach of 3RR.

Also in Kyriakoulis Argyrokastritis he's reverting using as a source an online forum and a timeline column of a newspaper.--Kushtrim123 (talk) 16:48, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Even though the 3RR has not been breached I am surprized how Alexikoua would make a case to bring the Turkoalbanian word three times, even wikified. The word is a pejorative one for the Albanians who worked under the Ottoman Empire Administration. Notified the user here [97] as I noticed that Kushtrim123 hadn't done it. --sulmues (talk). 17:31, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

User:Kushtrim123 is a disruptive, revert-only account that uses hostile edit summaries and follows his opponents around (i.e. myself and User:Alexikoua) while cynically trying to use the rules to get them into trouble. Just days ago he filed an ANI report against me that was duly ignored by the community. Today he's at it again. This is WP:HARASSMENT and has got to stop. As for the report itself, no need to comment, really. The bad faith is evident, as none are reverts to the same version. In fact, some of these "Reverts" aren't even reverts at all. Athenean (talk) 18:18, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

They all are reverts, don't try to decept the community to "defend" him. Since we're talking about harassment maybe the admins should check this report where you were asking admins to block me without checking if I was a sockpuppet of a user you thought me to be. Of course it turned out that I had no relation to him. [98].--Kushtrim123 (talk) 18:36, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

The only one trying to "decept" is you, since there is no 3RR violation, nor are they reverts to the same version (bet you don't even know what that means). Also pretty rich of you to accuse others of edit-warring, when all you do is follow me around and revert me [99] [100]. All of you contribs consist of either reverts or filing of "reports" designed to harass others. Athenean (talk) 18:45, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Athenean you have filed a false report of an SPI on me (here) when you thought I was Guildenrich, and endorsed Alexikoua (here) when you both were convinced that I was Sarandioti in this other false SPI report against me. And you continue to not believe in the result of the report according to this [101]. Now you know pretty well that edit-warring is inclusive but not limited to the 3RR. I think you should calm down and be less arrogant in your own edit warring because even when I talk to you in the talk page I get only agressivity ([102]). --sulmues (talk) 18:56, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Actually this is another one completely bad faith report. I'd kindly advised [User talk:Kushtrim123] in his talk page to respect the basic rules, but his answer was to blank his talk page [[103]]. His short contribution period in wiki consist of reverts [[104]] and some national advocating the last days. For the record, he had been extremely disruptive in: Vasil Bollano [[105]], Gjin Bua Spata [[106]] (both pages were semi-protected as result of the edit wars he actively participated), deleting sourced content using wp:idontlikeit 'arguments' on both cases [[107]][[108]] or using 'accidentally' irrelevant edit summaries [[109]][[110]]. As for Sulmues I've advised him repeatedly to respect his civility parole [[111]] but til now it seems to be fruitless.Alexikoua (talk) 20:47, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

About Kyriakoulis Argyrokastritis, Kushtrim claimed [[112]] that this is a forum ([[113]] but it's actually a historical e-magazine in pdf form, and this is a newspaper [[114]], but it's a book.Alexikoua (talk) 21:04, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

As I see the 'reverts' claimed by Kushtrim have actually nothing to do with reverts [115][116][117] and [118][119][120]. About 'Argyrokastro' it is obvious that a link between the personality and its home place should be established (Argyrokastro->Argyrokastritis). Also I hadn't removed the official modern name. There should be an explanation in all this mysterious report.Alexikoua (talk) 21:28, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

I searched about this after finding you all discussing here and it is a forum Alexikoua. It's e-magazine phorum.gr which is an online published amateur e - magazine by phorum.gr, a Greek forum. The editors are members of that forum as described on it's first page. Also it isn't a "historical e-magazine" because not only are members of phorum.gr its editors(and actually there is a disclaimer on its first page that artilces written in the magazine express the views of the members and it even says in Greek Online Community: phorum.gr, but also in this "historical e-magazine" the majority of the articles have nothing to do with history: such are Voices of Poetic Worries(the forum member publishes (his/her) poems), Greek (football) League:Where is the meter?, Why I Like Football and...What is National-Socialism(the article glorifies nazism), while the e-magazine has 10 articles all in all. About the other sources Kushtrim is probably talking about the ethnos newspaper column, written by this guy [121], who isn't a historian but a lawyer.

• Let's talk about what a revert is. After being reported endlessly while having no relation as proven to anything I learned a bit about what is and what isn't a revert.

A revert is any action, including administrative actions, that reverses the actions of other editors, in whole or in part. As for the "it's not the same material" the rule says whether or not the same material is involved

• Sulmues edits [122] Alexikoua partially reverts [123]. Sulmues again edits [124], and Alexikoua again reverts [125]. Sulmues edits [126] and Alexikoua reverts [127]. On Northern Epirus:

Alexikoua reverts [128](clear revert). Sulmues edits [129] Alexikoua reverts [130]. Sulmues edits [131] and Alexikoua reverts [132].--— ZjarriRrethues — ^talk 21:57, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

The same with Calvera (Character) article. As for their reverts: Actually it's really not so important that all these people have professor titles. But, during a deletion discussion, which, by the way, was started by Crusio, his reverts looks like deleting the notalibility proofs. For example, if someone named Barry Keith Grant had described a subject of the article in his books - it means not more than such description by anonymous user in the Web. But, if we add that this Barry Keith Grant is a Doctor of Arts, professor of Brock University - this little addition changing a notability and reliance of this source in a critical way.

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: [138]

I warned both of them

• User talk:Crusio#Calvera (Character)
• User talk:EEMIV#Warning

This is what Crusio eventually responded on his talk page:

... Please don't post on my talk page any more, I am done with you. --Crusio (talk) 19:46, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

with posting the same edit-warring warning.

And this was EEMIV' respond:

--EEMIV (talk) 14:39, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

We have a looong discussion of all these and other their actions in this discussion: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Persecution, but still there is no authoritative decision nor a comments.

Comments:

You see it. I had no comments.

• No violation – there must be four or more reverts within a 24 hour period for the 3-Revert Rule to apply; the links you have provided do not meet these criteria. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:35, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
