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.
You must notify any user you have reported. You may use
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.
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.

- I do count four reversions in well less than 24 hours from User:Amatulic, which would be a violation of the 3rr. However, I'm curious to hear from Amatulic before taking action here. Kevin Gorman (talk) 00:16, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

- I did assume it would end with a 24 hour block, I was just curious why a long standing admin and editor like Amatulic with an otherwise clean blocklog would have made a little booboo, and was hoping that there was a reasonable explanation I was missing.

Comments: I have attempted to engage the user several times in discussion about NPOV, and he simply ignores me and reverts my edits. He also appears to have invited another editor to make an additional reversion User:Josh3580 to avoid an explicit violation of 3RR himself and leave me unable to make additional corrections to his unwillingness to discuss the article.
—Ceekay215 (talk) 02:58, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
- Your allegation of collusion is quite wrong, my friend. I have never even communicated with Bluerasberry (talk). I am a recent changes patroller, and came across your edit in WP:HG. I very clearly invited you here to discuss your contribution on the talk page, but you responded by giving me a WP:3RR warning (diff), after a single revert on my part. Yes, I gave you the warning first, because you were refusing to discuss the issue, and resorted to re-reverting. Understand that I have only reverted ONCE. Your inappropriate use of the user warning as well as this noticeboard may come back to bite you. I invite the investigating Administrator to thoroughly investigate my edit history, if they are not already familiar with my contributions. I am prepared for the WP:BOOMERANG. —Josh3580talk/hist 03:17, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
My only allegation is that you reverted a proper edit not on the merits, and for reasons I do not speculate upon. As you fail to mention, I have attempted to engage BlueRasberry in constructive dialogue, and he issues five word proclamations and simply reverts all changes without discussion. Why would you ignore all of the content on the article's talk page? You participated in an edit war, witting or not, by blindly reverting an edit without understanding what you were reverting or why. I would invite you into a conversation on the article's content, on the merits. Until then, you did indeed deserve the warning. Note that I did not follow it up here, since you only did it once. Ceekay215 (talk) 03:37, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
- You did allege collusion actually, very clearly just a couple of paragraphs up from here. That is not the issue. The user that you reported here reverted you TWICE, which is not a violation of the 3-revert-rule. It takes 4 reverts to reach that point. There are now three different editors who have reverted your edits, now that Flat Out let's discuss it has joined the discussion. You obviously do not have WP:CONSENSUS for your change, and throwing around warnings and reports is not the way to gain it. —Josh3580talk/hist 03:43, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
- Comment- editors have engaged with Ceekay215 despite claims to the contrary. The only edit-warring has been by the reporter who might like to read WP:BOOMERANG. I have provided links to appropriate forums for Ceekay215 to raise any concerns regarding the article. Flat Out let's discuss it 03:49, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
- Please review the article talk page again. I'll patiently wait for Bluerasberry, who is the subject of this notice, to do more than issue proclamations. The only edit war here is his failure to engage with my polite requests to discuss the issue on the merits, and simply revert this article back to the way he insists it remain. It's unclear to me why you continue to avoid the merits in order to fan the flames of the dispute instead of making a case for the proper content and order for the article. If you would do so, there would be no other issue of contention. Ceekay215 (talk) 03:53, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
- User:Ceekay215 has reverted the article four times in four hours on 23 January. The simplest way to stop the war would be to issue a block of Ceekay215. He might be able to avoid a block if he will promise to avoid the article and its talk page for seven days. If he does so this might be taken into account by the closing admin. EdJohnston (talk) 04:15, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
- I have moved controversial content from the lead and into the article body which should appease Ceekay215's concerns. Flat Out let's discuss it 04:22, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
- I appreciate the fair look at this by Flat Out and Josh3580 Ceekay215 (talk) 05:15, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

User:Toccata quarta reported by User:Mishae (Result:No action)

User being reported: Toccata quarta (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
Hi, according to WP:Musicians the above article is meant to have an infobox while user @Toccata quarta: is deleting infobox saying that its against WikiProject Classical Music. My argument though is that our readers do need to know the basics sometimes and they wont care to read the whole article. Furthermore, when user @Walter Görlitz: put it back in, he came back and removed it. I think that user Toccata quarta is vandalizing and is disruptive toward this and other articles such as Vadim Repin, and I need someone to take care of this, before it will go over and I will get blocked! Like honestly, why do we have an infobox on say Charles Dutoit but we can't have infoboxes on the rest.--Mishae (talk) 03:22, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
- Outside observation. Mishae, Toccata quarta has only reverted twice. You then went and added the infobox a third time, and as far as I can see, you have made no effort to discuss this on the article's talk page. I've now converted that box to {{Infobox person}}. I suggest you read Wikipedia:WikiProject Musicians/Infobox:
- "{{Infobox musical artist}} is the standard template to be used on a non-classical musician's or musical ensemble's page." (my bolding)
- Infobox musical artist is designed for pop musicians and is not suitable for classical musicians, both in terms of terminology and fields. If an infobox is to be used, {{Infobox person}} is much more suitable and flexible. Please also read Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Infoboxes:
- "The use of infoboxes is neither required nor prohibited for any article. Whether to include an infobox, which infobox to include, and which parts of the infobox to use, is determined through discussion and consensus among the editors at each individual article."
- Voceditenore (talk) 08:19, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you, Voceditenore, for your pertinent and concise comment, to which I fully subscribe. Toccata quarta (talk) 08:40, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
- There's not enough disruptive activity here for action, at least not yet. Maybe we could keep it that way. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 10:13, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
- If its not prohibited, then user @Toccata quarta: should have just changer it to person and our dispute would have been over, instead he removes the infoboxes not substituting them. Keep in mind, that removing and substituting is two different ways of handling an infobox issue. In for one, believe that any article which is above a stub needs an infobox solely because some information that people need is that way on the very bottom. Why do I need to the bottom for associated acts and labels, if I can read it all from the infobox? Come to think of it, I got an idea (see if you will agree with me), instead of using background in the infobox, why not remove it from classical musicians, that way, all of the acts and labels will be in place?--Mishae (talk) 17:57, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

The User has removed the entire content 4 times; and has accused me to edit without good faith. I was trying to find more reliable sources, added {{New page}} to the article (link), suggested to discuss this matter, or if the user wants, another nomination for deletion [in edit comments], with no response. Raamin (talk) 00:03, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- Article was previously deleted. Content was restored where I origin placed it at Marvel Anime#Iron Man: Rise of Technovore as indicated. He can expand it there. He doesn't address notability and attempts to use "new page" tag as a shield. Notability is currently being address at Talk:Marvel_Anime#Proposed split of Iron Man: Rise of Technovore, which Raamin has not (yet) chosen to join as I have. Onus is on those want to restart a delete article not those opposed as I understand it. Just saying that you are acting in good faith when some points out that the article is notable isn't a defense. Spshu (talk) 00:29, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
Blocked – for a period of 36 hours. Raamin, you've reverted three times. I wouldn't do it again, or you risk being blocked without notice.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:35, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

- Just as Spshu is not permitted to violate WP:3RR because of their perspective on how this split or new article should be accomplished, neither are you. You can continue the discussion about the split on the main page. Another editor can restore the new article if they wish, or you can use the talk page of the new article to gain a consensus for restoring it and let someone else implement it. There are many non-disruptive ways to go about what you want to achieve.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:54, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Comments: I think this editor is Wikihounding me. I am not an experienced enough WP editor to know how to show that, but most recently she followed me to the Robert Spitzer (political scientist) BLP and caused me (and the subject) a great deal of grief. See Robert Spitzer (political scientist) on WP:BLP/N, and SPA on Admin Newyorkbrad's talk page. She has been trying to get me banned or blocked for months, and it nearly "boomeranged" on her in November. I just want to be able to edit in good faith.
I've never submitted one of these before; sorry if I didn't fill out the form properly. --Lightbreather (talk) 02:10, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- Note: I thought 3rr was between the parties involved and admin, but since I see another editor has commented I have asked my mentor for help. Also, Sue was never my mentor. I did seek her help once, but that is explained in my comments in the "She has been trying to get me banned or blocked" discussion linked-to above. Especially my posts there from Nov 13-16 (2013).
- Absolute nonsense. I have a 1RR rule that I have held to for seven years. If you take a look at the diffs supplied by the complaintant, you will see that they are just regular edits. One is a revert, and that is all I will do for 48 hours. This is a classic SPA account (editing Gun Control articles exclusively) that has narrowly escaped a topic ban on several occassions, for example it was heavily involved with the edit war that resulted in Saltyboatr's block:
- Soon after that, this account attempted to get several long standing editors topic banned here:
- This last one is a "Must Read" to get an understanding of this account's activities. The result boomeranged on her, and narrowly resulted in a topic ban for the second time: "There is no consensus for a topic ban. There is, however, clear concern among editors about Lightbreather's contributions, and many who oppose a topic ban do state that Lightbreather's edits are disruptive. Word to the wise: that no topic ban is agreed on does not, of course, mean that individual administrators cannot cite this discussion as a warning of sorts if they feel a block on Lightbreather for disruption is warranted. Drmies (talk) 17:35, 8 October 2013 (UTC)"
- Politically, I am on the same side as this SPA (I am Pro Gun Control), but these activities are so disruptive, and along with the ownership issues, I continually find myself siding with the pro-gun editors due to this WP:CRUSH behavior.
- There is no edit war going on, the complaintant's own diffs show that. I have simply made some edits however that the complaintant doesn't happen to like, and now we are all wasting our time because of it. --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 05:11, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- This is completely absurd. Lightbreather has been the disruptive editor pushing an agenda and waving a POV flag from Day One. She pretends not to understand what is going on and rehashes the same tired points again and again, hoping that other editors will throw up their hands and give up. I believe Sue Rangell was originally mentoring her or trying to help her, before Sue saw her for the basket case that she is.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 07:37, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- I am getting ready to leave my desk for a few hours, but I would like to say, re: Sue's saying she has a 1RR rule that she had held to for seven years. 1. She also says right on her user page that she "click[s] the revert button a lot" (emphasis mine) 2. Recently (17 JAN 2014) another editor warned her about 3RR. To which she replied: "I'm not going to argue about it. I have a 1RR rule, so if you think I've slipped-up and done three reverts in 24 hours feel free to report it, I'll deserve it." And she called it "nonsense," just as she's done here. After she reported me as an "SPA" on the talk page of the admin overseeing that page, he told her "the article looks to me to be in pretty decent shape" (same link as SPA link I cited in my notice).
- I will be happy to drop this if she'll just promise to stop following me around from article to article, "fixing" my edits. Lightbreather (talk) 14:32, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- Canvassing other editors isn't going to help, especially because this noticeboard isn't a "weight of opinions" thing. Your comment here does nothing to show that there is any edit-warring taking place, which is the entire point of this noticeboard. I think now's a good time to drop the stick. A series of consecutive edits that revert material counts as a single revert as far as what defines "edit warring". - Aoidh (talk) 14:41, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback. Are you the admin who is reviewing this? I've never done one before. I read the related pages a few times and proceeded as best I could. I thought it would be me, Sue, and an admin. I only "canvassed" as you say because I saw a comment by another editor. Also, I guessed we're supposed to comment freely, as Sue and Mike have done. I have to leave my desk now, but I will check in later. Thanks. Lightbreather (talk) 14:51, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

No violation. I see one revert at 01:20 and a series of edits, including one explicit revert, from 20:01-20:25. Consecutive edits only count as one, so I get two reverts. I don't see a 3RR, and the "1RR" seems to be self-imposed. Kuru (talk) 15:49, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Diffs of the user's reverts:
I and other users have tried to warn and discuss Irishfrisian about its edit warring at Largest Organisms, but, the user has rebuffed all attempts, at several times, even lying about how consensus either did not exist or was allegedly in favor of its actions. [10], and at one point, even enlisted a sockpuppet in helping it attack another user, User:Op47talk, who made edits that Irishfrisian vehemently disapproved of [11] [12] [13]
All attempts at reasoning with Irishfrisian have been fruitless, as the user was either too busy attacking Op47 for making edits Irishfrisian disapproved of, or of it ignoring consensus: [14] [15]

I'm requesting help in dealing with Irishfrisian, as the user is exhausting mine and other users' patience in its edit warring and steadfast refusal to do anything beyond revert back to its favorite version of Largest Organisms, and accuse other editors of "destructive edits"--Mr Fink (talk) 03:15, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
Page protected. I've protected the page for a week; please rejoin the discussion on the article's talk page. Kuru (talk) 15:55, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- Sadly, I fear that this will not solve the problem. Irishfrisian seems to wreak a bit of havock and then disapear for months on end. Thankyou anyway. Op47 (talk) 19:41, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: see comments below
Comments: B575 is simply hopping between articles wiping out sections they disapprove of, with any related discussion. Not sure if this is simple vandalism or politically motivated W/P:POINTYness (see also Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh as well as edits at Chris Matthews and Bill Maher), but there's no obvious location for a substantive discussion and no indication the editor would engage in one. They're just wiping out parts of some BLPs and sticking labels into others, and will keep going until they're stopped. Note this response just moments ago to a warning from admin User:Malik Shabazz about aspects of this behavior [21]. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 03:51, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- Comment - I see both AndytheGrump and Malik Shabazz tried to get B575 to adjust their behaviour, but they have finally engaged at Talk:Glenn Beck with this edit. Flat Out let's discuss it 05:27, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

This occurred earlier this evening. User's only edits are these problematic reverts, plus some edits to the associated talk page, leading me to believe this is either a sock puppet as well or an associate of another editor. User was not warned, but his last vulgar edit summary indicates a decided lack of civility, as well as his posting of an attack page in his user space against user Bgwhite. Safiel (talk) 05:44, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- Note that Bgwhite did attempt to resolve the issue on VeritasVeritasOra2's talk page. Safiel (talk) 05:48, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- After leaving a message on the talk page, the "ass" revert told me nothing good will come to talking to the person. It is a sock puppet. There are a bunch of other SPAs editing the page. Messages on Talk:Jan Crull, Jr., including the now reverted messages, paint the same person. Nothing can be done to the editor as this is a SPA. I did put a month long protection on the page to keep any more SPAs away for a bit. Feel free to shorten or lengthen the protection. Bgwhite (talk) 06:06, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

- I'm sorry Nfomamdoalfrlpsa, I honestly do not know whether to take you seriously or not. But I'd just say that the burden of truth is on you to prove that what you are deleting as you said, unreliable. However, it has been shown in the edits you have done, the content you have removed have been properly sourced, especially 1, 2 and 3. I don't know what you are trying to achieve here. I don't want to waste my time arguing with you, I am only a witness to what you have been doing in regards to Dr.K. And as far as I can see, you are the blatant breaker of the rule under WP:VANDTYPES. I need not carry on explaining what I have said (and others have as well).

Refuses to allow any other changes than their own, ignoring the agreements made in the discussion.--Azsayswhat (talk) 07:28, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- Template:Cue It is very unlikely any action will be taken here considering the most recent diff provided is from September 2013. 3RR usually only applies in situations where more than three reverts are made in a 24 hour time period, and this report was created about 2,897 hours after that limit. gsk 07:53, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- Is it not still considered edit warring despite the low traffic, as the user has said, the page receives? Any sort of time frame should not apply. It is still clearly evident the user refuses to accept any changes, discouraging any users from attempting to do so. This is closely following the description given in Three_revert_rule. Bold edits were placed, they were reverted, then discussed, yet still no edits aligning with that discussion have been put in place. A large discussion has taken place with nothing to show for it. Regardless of the report here a resolution should be assisted in being reached rather than letting the conflict go stale from lack of interest in dealing with this user, allowing them greater rule. --Azsayswhat (talk) 19:50, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- Here [37] is the additional discussion not directly linked above as it was archived. The only opposition in the discussion is the very user in question. --Azsayswhat (talk) 20:03, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

I am 100% confident that the good faith alterations that I made to the above entry I made are improvements and were previously discussed on the entry's talk page.

User tries to enforce the removal of the french flag. Regarding this user's behavior in the past, the most likely reason for his edit-warring is childishness and a nationalistic attitude. User has also been blocked on commons for sockpuppeteering and edit warring.--FAEP (talk) 17:51, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- I myself have asked for information on this project ((before any intervention or notification of FAEP)), in order to avoid edit wars: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film. however, just read the history of the item in question to realize that the other user does not have collaborative purposes of the edit war, but rather acts with spam. also emphasize that the purpose of FAEP are not cooperative or to improve the quality of wikipedia, but he pursued my actions with the only purpose to hurt me, to make me look bad and provoke me, his behaviors are harmful and I hope that someone sooner or later take action now because it has been years since these are her hobbies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pava (talk • contribs) 23:05, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
Note. As can be seen by the diffs, there has been no violation of WP:3RR. The edit war is between Pava and Spacejam2, which begs the question, FAEP, why you reported only Pava. Spacejam2's edit summaries are beyond the pale: "VANDALISM! VANDALISM! VANDALISM! VANDALISM! VANDALISM! VANDALISM! VANDALISM! VANDALISM! VANDALISM! VANDALISM! VANDALISM! VANDALISM! VANDALISM!

- Because, as I have already explained its purpose is not to contribute to wikipedia (as it has ever been to contribute to the commons in the continuous bickering that offers every time with me) its only purpose is to cause, harm me and put me in Cativa light, I now I ignore it, I just only to explain to others how things are, pleased him. For me this is a behavior to be punished, because for years now here or on the commons continues. It hurts wikipedia, wikipedia is not made for these purposes.

Anyway, I just to avoid edit wars, I opened the discussion to the film project, and it seemed to move more correct. Then it is obvious that with such comments in the subject field, it seemed obvious to do rollback because no director has intervened (although I has requested the intervening).

- Jsqqq777 (talk) is also involved in this edit war, but has not edited since I gave him a WP:3RR warning. He was probably just reverting for the same reason I was - unsourced additions. —Josh3580talk/hist 18:33, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- I am up to 3 reverts on this page now. I started a discussion on the article's talk page, and added the diff to my report above. —Josh3580talk/hist 21:14, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

- This user keeps reverting my edits and refuses to discuss it. I made discussions on talk pages and addressed his own talk page, but does not respond and only reverts my edits. If any moderator feels I too have been edit warring, then I will accept the consequences myself. However, I at least made at attempt to resolve the issue. TheSickBehemoth (talk) 01:46, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
- Comment: History shows you have both been edit warring over a period of several days. I know it can be difficult to communicate with an anon IP but you shouldn't resort to edit warring. Also try to sign your post please. Antiochus the Great (talk) 21:57, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- I agree, and I do apologize for that, but I started a section in each talk page to resolve this, yet he did not reply. I made a comment to use the talk page after my last reverts on both pages. Should I try once more to communicate with him through his talk page? If he does not respond and keeps reverting the edits, should I file another report?

I reverted this anon-user's edit as it was not properly sourced, removed other content and was not written in proper english. They came back and redid the exact same edit. Zackmann08 (talk) 23:33, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
No violation. Zackmann08, you need to prepare a report here properly. You provided no diffs; coincidentally, there are only two. Nor have you tried discussing the IP's edits with them. I suggest you do that if you can't resolve the dispute.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:11, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

New editor and WP:SPA, trying to promote non-notable software. See his talk page for attempts at communicating with him. His efforts to contact me after being given a 3rr warning while he continues to edit-war are less than helpful [56] [57] [58] [59].
Yes, he was so busy edit-warring that he's edit-warred over a spelling correction [60] [61]. Doesn't look like he's interested in improving this encyclopedia nor working with other editors. --Ronz (talk) 00:44, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

- Comments:
Ignores talk page messages and continues to remove content backed by reliable sources such as Billboard and the NY Daily News. Has violated WP:3rr after being warned and continues to edit war after being reverted by two different users. STATic message me! 04:01, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
Note Just to note that the user has already raised the issue with the Admin's BPL noticeboard: Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Jimmy_Henchman, and there are ongoing discussions as to whether the material is a BLP breach at Talk:Jimmy_Henchman#WP:BLP_issues.
The user (RedPen) who has removed material, and then reverted when it has been re-included without discussion, has done so under WP:BPL which states questionable material "should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion"; although he has also started the discussions both on the talk page and BPL noticeboard
As, of course, removal of BPL issues are exempted from the three revert rule (see: WP:NOT3RR), it would probably be better for you to discuss with the user and the administrators at the BLP notice board or talk page. --Rushton2010 (talk) 04:11, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
- The problem is the content was backed by reliable sources. Continuously removing sourced content without valid reasons after being reverted is NOT okay. Also as stated, the discussion is ongoing and in the middle of the discussion this edit war occurred. There was no consensus that the huge amount of content removed was BLP violations, so the user cannot claim that exception of the 3rr rule. Also the BLPN discussion was opened after the edit warring occurred. The user was warned about 3rr, yet the continued to revert without discussing until after this report was made, obviously fearful of block since they violated the policies we have in place. STATic message me! 04:54, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
No violation BLP removals are exempt from the 3RR. You need to resolve the discussion on the talkpage before you reinsert this material. Spartaz Humbug! 05:44, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
- I saw this report late last night at a time when I usually don't take actions on Wikipedia, but I was disturbed by STATicVapor's behavior and misunderstanding of policy, so I want to now add some comments. First, BLP violations can be committed even when material is supported by reliable sources, but, here, the key issue was the reliability of the sources. Second, there doesn't have to be a consensus to remove a BLP violation for an editor to claim an exemption under 3RR. Third, WP:BLPREMOVE generally trumps other policies until there a strong consensus that the disputed material should be included in some form. Fourth, STATic's claim that TRPoD stopped reverting because of the filing of this report makes no sense. The last version of the article was effectively TRPoD's. He had no reason to revert again. Finally, STATic's conduct on the article talk page was not constructive. They repeatedly accused TRPoD of vandalism (STATic used some form of the word "vandal" six times in the discussion), which is obviously incorrect and undermines any productive arguments they may otherwise have.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:42, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you Bbb23; we certainly seem to be on the same page. The policy is very clear that potential BPL violations should be immediately removed, and not re-added before there is consensus that the information is not a breach of policy; a quick glance at the article's talk page shows that there is not consensus yet (I agree with Bbb23, that Static seems to be assuming bad-faith, and their comments have not been conducive to discussion and achieving consensus - rather just accusations of vandalism). Although Static may disagree with Red that it is a BPL violation, I believe Red has been acting in good faith, and his actions have been inline with the relevant policies. I'll keep an eye on the talkpage discussions and try and keep things civil and productive. --Rushton2010 (talk) 15:17, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Editor is attempting to insert content into these articles that was deleted from the standalone article Decade of Darkness at AfD under a claim that the DRV has formed a consensus for this action. It has not (in fact the clear consensus is that the content is unacceptable anywhere on Wikipedia), and regardless the edit-warring is clear. The Bushranger One ping only 04:31, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

User:Franek K. reported by User:Sobiepan
Few days ago he broke the 3rr on Lechitic languages (and West Slavic languages)
He has been warned but not blocked.
Shortly later, he changed and reverted several times my comments on a talk page, which was highly provocative and against the rules of Wikipedia:Talk_page_guidelines#Editing_comments and Wikipedia:Civility. 1. [70], [71] I have asked him to stop [72], [73], [74] with no result, he changed it again: [75]
Today he followed me to Slavic languages and reverted twice [76] , [77] (ignoring the ongoing discussion on Talk:Silesian language).
