Talk:Sons of Liberty

A new editor called "Trollpolice" has taken over from what "Deleteroftrolls" and the three IPv6s were doing yesterday, blanking big blocks of this talk page. "Trollpolice" can be blocked for blatant edit-warring, but if you were to run a CU and connect that account to "Deleteroftrolls", then that latter account could be blocked as well. (None of these accounts are me, of course.) I don't particularly care if the thread on the talk page involving myself (the last one) is blanked or archived or left as it is, but there's no reason the page should be disrupted the way it is at the moment. Thanks, BMK (talk) 20:31, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. They've both been blocked so we'll see what happens next. Let me know if there's another account. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 07:55, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Your DS sanction at Kombucha

Your DS sanction against me was unwarranted, Callan, and reminiscent of the bias you have consistently shown toward me since your first unwarranted ARB warning at Griffin for a rogue emoji I had no control over. I am asking you to remove the sanctions and recuse yourself from any interaction with me in the future. You clearly did not properly investigate the behavior of Yobol, an editor who was not involved in any of the Kombucha TP discussions, and who actually was the one edit warring in this case, but it appears your bias against me caused you to automatically act against me without question.

I copied the following from Yobo's contributions which includes mention of the sanction reminder and polite warning I posted to his TP. You sanctioned the wrong editor, Callan.

• 20:07, June 20, 2015 (diff | hist) . . (+272)‎ . . Kombucha ‎ (per wp:BRD get consensus when your edits are challenged)
• 19:53, June 20, 2015 (diff | hist) . . (+272)‎ . . Kombucha ‎ (undue weight and promotional tone)
• 19:44, June 20, 2015 (diff | hist) . . (+272)‎ . . Kombucha ‎ (Undue weight bordering on promotional)

You know full well that the onus of proof is on the editor who wanted to restore the material I corrected and challenged as noncompliant with policy. The onus was on Yobol, not me. I cited 3 quality Reviews that surpassed the quality of the old 2003 review that used to cite the noncompliant material. He was edit warring each time he restored noncompiant material. I will not provide the actual diffs here because when I've demonstrated similar behavior by other uncivil, POV pushing editors in the past, including the railroading attempts against me, the harassment, the incivility, the tag-teaming and other disruptive behavior, you hatted my requests for help, and kept pointing me to ARBCOM. Perhaps the time has come for ARBCOM to investigate this whole mess in one felled swoop. If they decide that I truly am the one who deserves sanctions for trying to be compliant with NPOV, then so be it but it's all going to come out in the wash, dating back to Griffin with some of the same editors and the treatment and ill-will that I've experienced since.

There's one thing that you're still not seeming to get, even if you believe you are right you cannot edit war. You've done that twice on this article and therefore got prevented from doing it again. An article ban is a very lenient sanction in that all it does it stop you edit warring and forces you to the talk page. I'm not saying that this is correct in this instance, but the other thing which tag-team edit warring (as you see it) could be is other editor's enforcing a consensus. As you've been told before that you need to get consensus before making large or contentious changes to articles, or if you have been reverted (especially more than one) barring things like WP:3RRNO you need to get consensus. Continuing to edit war on various articles to have your changes stay on the article is disruptive, as you have been told as well. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 01:22, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
