Disruptive edit warrior at it again

Can you plz check this (Darkness Shines (talk · contribs)) disruptive edit warrior who got blocked 12 times in the last 3 months but again edit warring and vandalising. He keeps removing the image of that pretty Pashtun girl which has been there for over 5 yrs without any discussion. Why do we even allow such disruptive users to come just to mess things up and make people fight over stupid things?--182.177.122.22 (talk) 17:35, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is something that you will need to take to WP:ANE or WP:AN/I. Cheers, Tiptoety ^talk 23:09, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Articles concerning Montenegro

Hello, I see that you are one of the Admins on Wikipedia and since I am new to Wikipedia and I am still figuring out how things work around here I would much appreciate a little help.The problem I have is with Serbian editors who are editing almost every article concerning Montenegro according to their version of history thus using Wikipedia as a tool for spreading their nationalistic propaganda.Montenegro is very small country and there are not many Montenegrins around here and when ocasionally some Montenegrin editor writes something here they drive him away by sheer numbers and by proclaiming his sources "nationalistic" and "POV" while they are in fact those who are using such sources that totally contradict and oppose official Montenegrin history(or to put it simple-they are using their superior numbers to steal our History and present it as if its theirs,Serbian history).Antidiscriminator,Panonian,White Walker,Pax Equilibrium are some of the most notable Serbian editors who do these things,but they are not alone.I would be very thankful if you would be so kind and explain me if Wikipedia supports this kind of behavior(using it as tool of nationalistic propaganda)and if not,where is the appropriate place for me to put in a complaint,because every sane discussion with them on this subject is fruitless(as we can see from their previous quarrels with Montenegrin editors)and as I already said they will just overpower me with their sheer numbers. Best Regards Montenegro in my heart (talk) 19:11, 3 May 2012 (UTC) p.s.they are not doing this with Montenegro only.[reply]

Edit

Tiptoety, I think you misinterpreted one of Peacemaker's edits as a revert of a part of my own post. This is certainly not the case, since it was done with my approval and consent. The user only posted one, partial revert in a 24 hour period. Being, in addition to this, a new user, relatively unfamiliar with policy, he should not be sanctioned for a single revert.

On a related note, I would to add a completely new infobox template into the article replacing the current one (per recommendations from WikiProject Former Countries). Since the previous discussion centered on a similar issue, that (in contrast to the above) could be interpreted as a "revert". 1 revert. I feel I must ask in advance: will I get blocked as well if I proceed? -- Director (talk) 19:48, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DIREKTOR. Will you please link to where you consented to this revert being performed? Tiptoety ^talk 22:35, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There's no explicit consent, but since the translations were not sourced, I have absolutely no objection to them being removed. Peacemaker understood I would have no objections from previous interaction, i.e. my consent is implied. The point of my edit was to merge the two translations of the same term that were being listed in the lead as separate titles. The translations are a minor point, they're already included elsewhere, and I have no objections to them being removed by Peacemaker. Think of it as my own self-revert.

I'm serious though, I'm not trying to make a point. Could I be blocked for introducing a new infobox over there? It is indeed a 1RR, but, as I know from experience, that's not a strict requirement for an admin to be able to introduce sanctions. Anyway, I'll go through with the edit, please bear in mind I have no intention of breaking 1RR. Regards -- Director (talk) 01:58, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Death of Deriek Wayne Crouse for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Death of Deriek Wayne Crouse is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Death of Deriek Wayne Crouse (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Night of the Big Wind _talk 22:36, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Flag of Nazi Germany

Hi again. User:DIREKTOR just replaced infobox in the Serbia (Territory of the German Military Commander) without consensus on the talk page about that. His new infobox is highly controversial because of the two reasons: 1. name of that new infobox is "Infobox former subdivision", which is not appropriate since Serbia was not subdivision of anything (and DIREKTOR also does not denying that: [1] - quote: "PANONIAN, noone is contending that the territory was annexed by Germany, or that it was a part of Germany, or its subdivision, or anything of the sort."), 2. He added to the article flag and coat of arms of Nazi Germany, while these were not symbols of the territory (and page about used new infobox says that usage of flag is optional and that usage of flag within article is connected with common name of the territory in whose article this infobox is used. In another words, infobox guideline says that even usage of flag that was actual flag of any territory in whose article this infobox is used is fully optional and does not say that flag of foreign country should be used in that infobox. It would be futile that I revert DIREKTOR, since he would certainly revert again and we would not achieve anything instead to be both blocked by you. However, what DIREKTOR done here is clearly an example of "disinfobox": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Disinfoboxes (or infobox with inaccurate data). Since discussion on the talk page with this user proved futile as well and since user rejected mediation about this issue that I proposed, I want to ask you to give me advice how can I legally proceed my case here? In another words, in which page of Wikipedia I should ask for opinion, help and interpretation of guidelines regarding the usage of flag of Nazi Germany within that article? PANONIAN 18:31, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

on a related issue, Tiptoety, can I suggest you consider 1R on the forks Government of National Salvation (Serbia), Military Administration in Serbia and Commissioner Administration? This thing is like a virus. Peacemaker67 (talk) 10:05, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

FYI Tiptoety, I did indeed offer to mediate the dispute between the parties, but they declined. Not much I could do, I'm afraid. Steven Zhang ^Talk 10:09, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

PANONIAN, consider WP:3O or WP:DRN. Simply put, I do not have time to mediate or attempt to resolve this dispute on my own. Peacemaker67, I will take a look at those pages. Thanks, Tiptoety ^talk 22:00, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A Serbia-related article is one of the topics at WP:AE#PANONIAN

Hello Tiptoety. Recently you placed Serbia (Territory of the German Military Commander) under a 1RR per DIGWUREN. Since you've been following the edits of this article, perhaps you have some reflections you might want to share at WP:AE#PANONIAN. I confess that the debate on this article seems unlikely to converge unless *something* is done. I've gradually been losing patience with one of the sides, since it's hard to see any reason other than nationalism for being quite so persistent. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 00:38, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
