Regarding the ANI discussion of TechNev16, you may want to take a look at the SPI on the various socks of User:DisneyCSIfan. I've had a few run-ins with him/her over the last few months, and I see some similarities that have ducks quacking, including the articles they most actively edit, favored user names, tendency to edit war, to discuss via edit summary and to use rather emphatic edit summaries, and the time frame between the opening of this account and the indef of his/her last sock, JohnDoe98. I'm planning to open a new SPI case later today when I have a bit more time, but given the back-up there, and your recent encounter, I thought a heads up might be in order.

- User has re-added the images to Disney Channel, undoing your edit with the false cover of a redlink removal and adding them back. Nate • (chatter) 21:56, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- SPI is filed. I've requested a checkuser just to be safe. I've also reverted his latest, and added an SPI notice and a 3RR warning on his/her talk page.--Drmargi (talk) 00:15, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Blocked indef for disruption, the notes can be changed if the sockiness is proved. Black Kite (talk) 11:50, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Black Kite. I'm writing this to discuss with you, your block for edit warring filed against User:Myst3. I have looked at the contributions on which this block is based, and also at the other 2 editors involved, Dream Focus and J Greb, and it seems to me that respectfully, this is a rather one sided block.
Myst3 is someone I would consider to assume good faith with, and in essence what I see is 2 other editors effectively ganging up on them, using Wikipedia's rules and their understanding of them to avoid getting themselves into trouble (sharing the reverts and undoings to avoid 3RR of their own) - which in my mind, violates the whole intent of the 3RR.
Could I ask you please, to either review the other two editors actions, with a view to an equivalent block, or to consider undoing Myst3's block so that they may resume editing? You are free, as always, to ignore this message and leave everything in place as it stands, but I thank you anyway for your attention to the issue.

- As I said at the 3RR, the fact that there are 2 editors reverting here is not the issue - I've a lot of experience with tag-teaming and I think this is genuinely two editors trying to ensure an article doesn't contain a link to what is effectively a great big slab of WP:OR on a fan forum somewhere. This definitely fails WP:EL, and Myst3 had this pointed out to him on the talkpage. The fact that he ignored that, and actually said on the talkpage that he intended to carry on edit-warring, and then did so, is bad enough to begin with; but then he filed a 3RR report against an editor who had made only two reverts (whilst making the 3RR report look worse by duplicating diffs - that's simply lying) which is simply not acceptable.

- Understood, Black Kite - I fully understand the reasons now behind this block, and clearly we did not get the full story first hand. Thank you for your explanation, and for your review and reply. BarkingFish 20:10, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Note that we weren't tag teaming, just two totally different editors, who happened to notice what was going on. I don't recall having any interactions with either of these guys before. Dream Focus 20:43, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Black Kite. Have you got any thoughts on the latest thread here? Progress seems to have stalled but I wonder if there's anything we can do to help move things along. EyeSerenetalk 07:58, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
