0RR appeal

Hi, I would like to ask you to remove the 0RR imposed on me. I received 0RR on March 7, 2023 ([1]), this restriction was reduced to 1RR on July 3, 2023 ([2]), for appreciating my trouble-free editing history. On September 27, however, after my 2nd revert, I received 0RR again for edits in the Povilas Plechavičius article. ([3]).

I have since tried to continue editing Wikipedia without making reverts. Basically, it seems to me that given my entire editing history since March of this year, I have proven myself to be a user who tries to avoid conflicts, and if they arise resolve them on the talk page. I understand that the issue of the revert on Povilas Plechavičius casts a shadow over my track record. But given that it was an isolated incident I hope it doesn't completely cross it out. Marcelus (talk) 20:13, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Marceles, after only a month I'm not comfortable reducing 0RR to 1RR given that it was imposed by a fairly strong admin consensus. If we were a couple months into the future that might be different. Having said that, I've absolutely no issue with you appealing it at AE or AN. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 09:42, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I will probably do that Marcelus (talk) 14:00, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

RFC

Hi. I followed your advice and did an RFC on whether the UN information on violence against civilians during the recent hostilities should be included or not in the Flight of Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians. The overwhelming community consensus was that the UN information should be included, and it was restored to the article. Now we have the same argument in the related article 2023 Azerbaijani offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh. Should I do another RFC on pretty much the same thing? To me it looks like a waste of community time to do repeated RFCs on the same topic in related articles. Grandmaster 10:23, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Grandmaster, given the consensus was in favour of inclusion and it's a similar article it would make sense for there to be an assumption to include it. Other editors might have concerns about including it in that particular article or concerns that aren't the same as those discussed originally. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 10:42, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is clear that the vast majority of users did not agree with any objections to inclusion of this information. So even if objections are made on different grounds this time, I don't think this can override the overall community consensus that this information is relevant to the articles on this topic.

Prague shooting

Hiya Callanecc,

I would just like to ask why you’ve locked editing of the 2023 Prague mass shooting page, as any vandalism has been quickly dealt with to my information. And I believe that I, to the best of my ability, have managed to include reliably sourced information at a consistent rate. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t lock the page, I’m just asking why.

By the way, my username is Getsomehelp1962. 188.231.9.162 (talk) 23:10, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, unless the name is widely reported in reliable sources we generally don't include it. At this stage there were a number of edits being added with information which is either unsourced or rely on limited sourcing. I'm expecting that the sources will Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 23:50, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fowler&Fowler

Hi Callanecc. You had closed the last ARE report about User:Fowler&fowler because he had "taken on the advice provided by a number of editors".[4] But right now, Fowler&Fowler is causing even more disruption than what he did at that time.

  • "essentially without content unless some kind of lame parody is their goal.[...] you should take all of them to AN for disruption and ask that they be topic banned. [...] vote yourself and explain your vote and then resist the temptation to engage these disruptive editors."[5]
  • "also keep WP:Civil POV pushing in mind. This seems to be the latest tack of India-POV editors."[6]
  • "such are the numbers of India-POV editors on Wikipedia these days that very little NPOV content on India survives."[7]

Word limit extension request

Hi Callanecc. KU removed[1] some of his statements to add an additional reply in AE. I also have very important detail to say, but I don't want to do the same, because it will meaningfully change my initial reply. Can you please provide a few additional words for a reply?

You can't block this user! He's done nothing wrong! 611fan2001 (talk) 16:04, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@611fan2001: Have a look at the dot point on "Good hand" and "bad hand" accounts at WP:GHBH. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 08:36, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's not true. Here's the truth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Larrysteamfan#c-Larrysteamfan-20231226192200-Callanecc-20231225060400 611fan2001 (talk) 04:52, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately the technical evidence doesn't lie in this case. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 05:59, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Callanecc. I hope you're doing well. I am pinging you here as you were in the recently active CU list and the article Dhiman which is currently on AfD is being restored with unsourced content. Do you think there's enough evidence on this SPI to request a CU? Jeraxmoira (talk) 12:11, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jeraxmoira, sure is. I've blocked both accounts. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 12:36, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This will help stop the WP:DE for a while, Thank you. Jeraxmoira (talk) 12:57, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You stated that my contributions to the mediation demonstrate a WP:BATTLE mentality, linking to Third statement and Fourth statement. May I ask that you clarify which part(s) of those constituted holding grudges, importing personal conflicts, carrying on ideological battles, or nurturing prejudice, hatred, or fear. Crash48 (talk) 12:02, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Noting that you've only quoted the first sentence of WP:BATTLE, it also says Making personal battles out of Wikipedia discussions goes directly against our policies and goals. Those two statements demonstrate that you (and Rsk6400) did that, see for example the section Robert McClenon collapsed. Additionally your eleventh statement also quite clearly demonstrates a battleground mentality, for example "I bring against Rsk6400 the specific accusations...", "I suggest to Rsk6400 to use his last chance to engage in a discussion...". Engaging in discussion where you have a focus on 'winning' and instead of discussing content you focus on the conduct of other editors isn't compatitible with the collaborative nature of the project. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 12:47, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In my fourth statement, I don't see anything at all related to the conduct of other editors, and I stated on Dec 6th that I don't understand why it was collapsed. I still don't. Crash48 (talk) 14:09, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure what I saw in the fourth statement. Potentially I was looking at one of the others and thought it was the fourth one. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 09:43, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for clarifying that you don't see a demonstration of battleground mentality in my fourth statement. Now, regarding my eleventh statement that you mentioned above: do you mean that desperately urging an editor to engage in a discussion of the content (left out from your quote above) goes against the policy telling us to engage in a discussion of the content? What, in your opinion, would be proper conduct when a party joining a mediation refuses, over the course of a month, to engage in the discussion of the disputed content? Crash48 (talk) 15:44, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'd point out that the other party also receieved a sanction for their conduct. Mediation isn't mandatory, editors can choose not to participate. Having that battleground approach is really just going to dissuade them from doing so. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 22:19, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is clear to me that mediation isn't mandatory, and that you consider my conduct during the mediation inappropriate. You didn't answer either of the two questions that I asked, though. Crash48 (talk) 10:09, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"I bring against Rsk6400 the specific accusations..." during moderation (which is about content not contributors as explained at the start) and "use his last chance to engage in a discussion" or I'll "go straight to WP:ANI" is indicative of a battleground approach. You can ask someone to engage but bringing accusations and threatening them with ANI if they don't participate shows a battleground approach. There are two separate pathways to resolving content and conduct issues as explained at WP:DR. One is to resolve content issues, for example mediation and RfCs, and the other is to reolve conduct issues, like ANI or AE. After trying mediation you can continue to try and resolve content issues with an RfC. At any point if there is a conduct issue you can seek assistance with that especially if they are preventing the content issue being resolved. However, whenever you seek assistance with conduct issues every editor's conduct will be looked at not just the one who is complained about. So in answer to your second question, it depends. You can either continue trying to resolve it with an RfC (or another noticeboard like RSN) and/or you can report conduct issues separately. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 00:33, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the more detailed explanation. You may notice that I did exactly as you suggest: posted an RfC regarding the content issues, as well as reported the conduct issues separately, immediately after the mediation failed. If I understand the terms of my TBAN correctly, it makes my own RfC off-limits to me, meaning that the course of action you suggest doesn't help advance the content issues towards a resolution. Crash48 (talk) 13:09, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You are correct that you cannot edit the RfC. Effectively, you've blown your chance at solving the content issue due to the conduct issue which resulted the TBAN. You can go back to the article either when the TBAN expires or it's removed. 3-6 months of problem-free editing in other areas is usually enough to demonstrate that a (first) TBAN isn't necessary so that would be my suggestion to you.

Questions

Would it be alright if I ask for your advice here on how best to handle situations as relates to the arbitration enforcement?

And am I still able to make a single revert in the WP:BRD steps? KhndzorUtogh (talk) 23:38, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah you can. Here are a couple examples which will hopefully help, the second one is that instance:
  • You add a sentence to an article, another editor reverts it. You can't add that sentence back until there is a consensus.
  • An editor adds something to an article. You revert/change what they added. An editor reverts you. You can't revert their edit without a consensus.
Does that help? Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 09:47, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes those are helpful, thank you. Can I ask for your suggestions on how to proceed with some specific situations?
  • Someone reverted a minor change I made, which I discussed with them until they just stopped replying.
  • I reverted a minor change someone made and opened a talk page discussion. They reverted me back and apparently consider the discussion unnecessary even though they removed something supported by a previous consensus.
  • And there is the Ruben Darbinyan article, mentioned in the AE thread. There was never a consensus version for the "Criticism" section, which contains lots of questionable sources, including one saying Hitler committed the Holocaust because Armenians told him to. Could I revert to the last stable version?
--KhndzorUtogh (talk) 23:45, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi KhndzorUtogh:
  • I'd suggest pinging them to the talk page or leaving them a talk page message to remind them about the conversation.
  • Similar thing to the above, ping them back to the article and ask to discuss it further. If they don't respond I'm okay with you saying that if you don't hear anything after a reasonable period (like a week) you'll revert.
  • The talk page discussion needs to continue. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 05:07, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For the Darbinyan article, Aredoros restored their additions four times after two different editors (Revolution Saga and I) reverted them. There was never any consensus for these editions, which are very contentious. Isn't letting them remain technically rewarding edit warring? --KhndzorUtogh (talk) 22:24, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your consensus restriction prevents you from reverting it but other editors can as per normal. That they have chosen not to might be informative. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 23:09, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

RFC

Hi. Just want to let you know that I started another RFC. I hope this will resolve the dispute. Grandmaster 09:30, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question regarding to sanction

Hello. Does this restoration of a deleted content violate interaction ban and consensus ban you gave ~3 weeks ago? Aredoros87 (talk) 11:33, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Probably technically breaches the consensus restriction but given that the article content wasn't readded just the source I don't see an issue with it. Given this is within the area of your topic ban you are breaching it by commenting here but I'm ignoring that this time as well. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 23:02, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
