User has stated on my talk page that he will continue reverting no matter what. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 23:28, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
- I will stop reverting for a short time while we discuss this. I will admit that the first contribution contained a sentence which was too strongly-worded. All subsequent modifications I made were reasonable. There is no way we can improve this page if this editor is going to revert anything that questions O'brien's claims - which are extremely suspect. O'brien claims to have "defined the frame problem in artificial intelligence," when in fact that problem was defined before he was born. I added a source showing his claim of this, and a link to the Wikipedia article showing the actual history of the frame problem. These edits are non-controversial. If we have to discuss everything on the talk page before doing even simple modifications, nothing will get done. 50.184.134.157 (talk) 23:33, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
- Also I object to being referred to as "he". This is the kind of attitude that is holding wikipedia back.50.184.134.157 (talk) 23:35, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
- (Comment from uninvolved editor) Simple modifications, such as fixing a typo or changing to better wording, are fine. However, edits like the edits you want to make must be discussed on the talk page first per WP:CONSENSUS. - Amaury (talk) 23:39, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
- I didn't realize that addition of (sourced!) content required discussion on the talk page. If someone can somehow prove that O'brien traveled back in time and defined the frame problem before he was born, I will admit I was wrong. But until then it seems extremely non-controversial to point out that his claims about this accomplishment are false. I provided a source to the place on his website where he makes the assertion, and a link to the Wikipedia article that shows it is incorrect. What is the problem here? Winkelvi is the one who is edit-warring by repeatedly hindering progress on this article.50.184.134.157 (talk) 23:52, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Not blocked. I did impose a block on this user as I hadn't yet seen their comment here, but I just unblocked them under the condition that they remain true to their word and stop reverting in order to discuss the matter. The user is warned that the block will be reinstated if they continue to edit war. Swarm... —X— 23:46, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
- EoRdE6, take note that this article is a BLP and the IP editor was continually inserting controversial and unreferenced content about a living, breathing person. BLPs are a very different animal. If you also note, I stopped reverting his possibly libelous content additions and allowed other watchers to take over. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 23:50, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
- Again, the content I inserted was referenced. And again, are correct (or none at all) gender pronouns too much to ask for? 50.184.134.157 (talk) 23:55, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
- I fully agree with the BLP concerns, thus your reversions are exempt from 3RR. Regardless of the merits of the IP's argument, her wording was certainly too biased to be acceptable in a BLP. That being said, given your recent history, it's probably not a great idea to rely on 3RR exemptions too much. Swarm... —X— 23:59, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
- Especially when there are certain editors just chomping at the bit to see me blocked and will do whatever they can to make sure that happens. Yes, that happens in Wikipedia (sadly). Aside from that truth, I hear what you are saying, Swarm. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 00:10, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
- Okay, so how do we proceed? Winkelvi has given no indication of what was wrong with my contribution, which was sourced and was highly non-controversial. I guess I just don't get to make that contribution because Winkelvi has decided to revert it over and over and then accuse ME of edit warring? How is this an efficient way to run an encyclopedia? I haven't heard one bit of explanation for why it's conceivable that O'brien's claims of inventing the frame problem are true. Just because he's a "living, breathing person" means we can't provide evidence against his claims without going through some complicated consensus process? 50.184.134.157 (talk) 00:11, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
- Seeing no explanation, and considering Winkelvi's history of edit warring, I'm going to proceed with improving the article. I'll be sure to avoid direct criticisms of the article's subject, but I will not leave unverifiable technobabble in this article. As it stands now, it is extremely misleading and reads almost like an advertisement for O'brien's business.50.184.134.157 (talk) 00:33, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
- Discussion on article changes and improvements are supposed to take place at the article talk page, not at the 3RR noticeboard, User:50.184.134.157, that's why you aren't getting answers here. Further, another editor's "history of edit warring" has nothing to do with your choice to edit war. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 00:38, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

- Update: I just left the following message on Swarm's talk page, but don't know if they will be back any time soon to see it: The IP User:50.184.134.157 you immediately unblocked and warned is back to inserting the same content at the Walter O'Brien article as before. He first announced it here: [1] and proceeded here: [2], [3]. He also now claims a reputable source isn't a reputable source and will likely remove the source. He is also planning on deleting quite a bit of sourced content [4]. Which is everything they promised to do before they were blocked, so... -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 01:22, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
And now he's saying this: [5], intending to utilize WP:IAR to justify adding WP:SYNTH. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 02:24, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
And now saying he's just going to continue edit warring ([6]). But why shouldn't he? He was given the message that it's perfectly okay to do so because even if you get blocked, you'll just get unblocked in a few minutes. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 05:49, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Comments:
So I recently added Waldorf education, Camphill movement, Anthroposophy, and Anthroposophical medicine to Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism, and have met with some pretty severe pushback from some editors with marked WP:COI. Hgilbert initially began reverting all of my good faith edits and removing the criticisms I added which come from a number of WP:RS, including The BBC, the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, The Guardian, and the Atlantic. He even remarked on several occasions that newspapers should not be treated as WP:RS in the same way that his Anthroposophist Academic papers should be. (see talk page)
Subsequently, Hgilbert, and two other users (who I believe to be meat puppets) began reverting every revision, and neutering all of the NPOV that I added. These users all have a long history in this articles, including several ArbComs. Several passing users, Jeraphine Gryphon, Whitehat2009, and Dkriegls all attempted to help, but were also reverted or ignored. I posted numerous times on the talk page, and consensus was never reached in favor of removing the well-sourced claims I placed in the article. Hgilbert even accused me of being a sockpuppet of a previously banned activist editor instead of answering the arguments and working towards consensus. I try to AGF here, but all I see are reverts and rephrasings back to what these editors believe is the best this article can be. I don't think Hgilbert is here to create a wiki, I think he's here to neuter all criticism in this realm of articles, since he has a very blatant COI, and edits towards that COI's POV endlessly.
Could you temporarily protect it while I escalate to Dispute Resolution? Thanks--Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 04:32, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
Page protected. Well, Shibbolethink, you got your wish, although you're just as guilty as the other editors. I've locked the article for a week. I have no comments on the accusations of meat puppetry.

Comments:
There was, pursuant to a recent discussion, a consensus to remove the "metros" nickname from the infobox for this MLS team, based on the lack of any sourcing showing that it is actually a current nickname. This new user has reverted every removal, and refused to discuss in any fashion. They apparently signed up for a different account and forgot the password (it's a slightly misspelled name the first time). But the diff here is substantially the same and also a new user making their first edit. Clearly the same user. Good faith tells me that they just forgot their new log in (it happens) but that means the user, presuming it is the same person, is actually at 5 reverts. oknazevad (talk) 15:06, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

User was blocked for edit warring over a variety of articles, and talk page access was revoked. Coming off his block yesterday, his only contributions have been to pick up the wars again and return to reverting changes without discussion.
See edits to Creationism, Maitreya, Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha, etc, which are all continuations of his prior edit war.
Edits are to a variety of pages, so semi-protection isn't feasible. Another block for a few days might encourage him to move on. — Jess· Δ♥ 04:41, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [16]
Comments: Today I fixed a problematic classification in the lead section of this article (the consensus among sources seems to be that it is a nationalist party with leftist economic platform. Therefore, just "far-right" in the lead makes no sense, even if there may be a handful of sources that have this label). A user with whom I had a dispute on another talk page, started this "revenge" edit war. I know, that he didn't violate 3 reverts rule directly, but this kind of behaviour: follwoing a perceived enemy and reverting his constructive changes is unacceptable.Phil070707 (talk) 18:25, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
Additional comment: I would not be opposed to leaving the classification "left-wing" out of the lead, if this is an issue for someone (leaving just "nationalist", which is indisputable). However, the current version Marek kept reverting to is totally unacceptable for 2 reasons: - 1. a party cannot be "far-right" and "left-wing" at the same time 2. the so-called source Marek is using for his odd classification is a newspaper article [17] where the Rodina is mentioned just once passing by with no additional information while the 2 sources I refer to are scholarly sources which clearly take precedence over less reliable sources. Phil070707 (talk) 18:34, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

- If you think the absurd lead like ″Rodina or Motherland-National Patriotic Union (Rodina - Narodno-Patrioticheskiy Soyuz, Партия "РОДИНА") is a far-right political party in Russia. It was a coalition of 30 nationalist and left-wing groups″ is preferrable to the reasonable one I wrote then I doubt whether you actually are fit to edit constructively.

- My edits were well explained. I'm not gaming the system but improving the quality of articles. The version before my edits was deficient as I explained at the respective talk page.

- That personal attack above against Toddy, the fact that Phil070707 is apparently familiar with them (despite having supposedly NEVER interacted with them), the calling of people "idiots" is just more proof that this is a sockpuppet of User:Lokalkosmopolit.

List of tallest people (Result: Filer warned)
[edit]Hello. Can an admin please look into the article of the List of tallest people? I tried to add the tallest mass murderers such as Osama bin Laden and two users continue to revert my edit and they call it ridiculous and vandalism. One on these two users also dared to call my constructive editing "Vandalism". Can you please handle it out? And please tell me if my edit to this article was right or not. Thanks! Samhan Dobo (talk) 00:16, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
Comment Wrong place for this really, you should post on Talk:List of tallest people EoRdE6(Come Talk to Me!) 00:21, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
- Let me list all the things that are wrong with this:
- (1). You created a category "Tallest mass murderers" with no-one else in it.
- (2). The category you made was incorrectly formatted.
- (3). You did not provide a source for his height.
- (4). You listed him as being from Afghanistan, when his nationality on Osama Bin Laden is Saudi Arabian until 1994 and stateless afterwards.
- (5). Listing his years of birth as 1957- implies he's still alive, which he isn't.
- And now on here, your mistakes are:
- (1). This isn't a well formed request, since you haven't provided version differences showing edit warring.
- (2). You have failed to inform the user(s) that you reported, which you are obliged to do so. Joseph2302 (talk) 00:24, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
Also, I think this issue should be discussed here, because reporting a user to the edit warring board with no serious evidence, when they've been adding incorrect, unreferenced information to an article is grossly insulting to myself and @Loriendrew: (who still hasn't been informed about this ridiculous accusation), who are being accused of edit warring unjustifiably. This user should be banned for improper conduct, and unexplained harassment of other users, by trying to get them blocked for removing the unsourced rubbish they added to an article. Joseph2302 (talk) 00:43, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
- @Joseph2302: Calm down a tad. First we don't BAN for a bad report to 3RR, heck I doubt it deserves a BLOCK. These aren't for punishment remember, they are to prevent damage. The user appears to have done this in good faith and you should try assuming that sometimes instead of shouting "VANDAL, ban (??) it! at confused users. EoRdE6(Come Talk to Me!) 00:50, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
- There's no need to add Bin Laden to the list, and they're accusing me of gross misconduct (edit warring is gross misconduct on Wikipedia). Also, I meant ban not block. I'm trying to assume good faith, the first few edits were rolled back with a clear edit summary, saying that this was POV and unsourced. The responding edit summaries were "There is no source needed" and "That's your opinion and I don't care", followed by a report on here. I've tried to assume good faith, they have not. Joseph2302 (talk) 00:57, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
- @Joseph2302: Whether you wish to assume good faith or not in your head is up to you, but labeling the edits by a new account as vandalism is not constructive unless it's garden variety vandalism. So, don't. Asking that a user be banned at this board makes no sense.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:11, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Note. @Samhan Dobo: You are warned that if you revert again at the article, you risk being blocked without any further notice. You just created your account. Slow down. If you want to discuss the material you want to add to the article, do so civilly at the article's Talk page.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:06, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
- OK, understood. But it is really a mess from Joseph that he calls me a vandal and that he wants you to ban me from editing the Wikipedia! That'S really rude and stupid from him! I'm new here and all I want to give the Wikipedia are constructive contributions. And ok, I will add my request to the talk page of it's article. Thanks that you didn't block me. And how about a Welcome thread instead of adding stupid warnings to my talk page?! Samhan Dobo (talk) 11:22, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
- I overreacted, and I'm sorry. For 99% of new posters who post things I consider unhelpful, I send a welcome message, but I got was wrong here and assumed that you were trying to vandalise, because most people who add Bin Laden (or other terrorists) to articles are trying to vandalise Wikipedia. About the content, I'm going to write on the talkpage, and I also sent you a welcome message on your page. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:34, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

- Then why is none of the edits you linked to above about OccultZone? The edits above are due to Vtk1987 and Human3015, sock puppet accounts. TCKTKtool (talk) 22:58, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

- You have been edit warring throughout the past couple weeks. I don't care whether you're blocked or not, but this has risen to something that an administrator (or administrators) need(s) to step into. ― Padenton |☎ 23:33, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

- It is wikipedia policy for me to bring edit warring to this noticeboard. Before I did so, you threatened to do the same to Human3015 right here: [37], so I am not sure why you are complaining on that front. I posted messages to the Talk pages of other involved parties, as is customary. I have no issue with admins looking at my actions. ― Padenton |☎ 23:50, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- Yes I did that but unlike you I did not rush into it. I now see that is a sock puppet account. Again if you had taken the time to see you would not have posted a notice here that has already been proven incorrect. I have been following the rules and requested a outside view of the talk page now, as things are supposed to handled. TCKTKtool (talk) 23:53, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- You are telling that Vtk1987 is a sock, you have not clarified that who's sock it could be.

The user is consistently pushing to include his article on some management school, which did not turn out notable per this deletion discussion. It was suggested in that discussion to redirect the article to this one, and that is how it turned out. I have reminded the user about our policies, but he continues to edit war in an attempt to include his article. I ran out of reverts, due to the three revert rule, which I also reminded the user of.

Not technically a 3RR violation because it is spread over three articles, but clearly edit warring and all edits have the same content. Inorout keeps adding this (his?) fringe theory based on a not acceptable reference to those three articles, despite various warnings, a block for edit warring and overall broad consensus that the references and the content are not acceptable (everyone apart from Inorout and the IPs - and based on the behaviour they might be the same person). --mfb (talk) 15:26, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

- I agree with all of the above. Inorout persists in PUSHing his inadequately sourced, FRINGE content on the above 3 sites against the consensus of 5 editors on Talk:Gravitational constant, 3 on Gravity, and 4 on Dimensionless physical constant. He doesn't participate in the Talk page discussion of his edits even though invited to. Besides Inorout the only editors supporting his edits are several IPs 217.197.137.140 77.238.218.163, which look very much like sockpuppets; one of which 37.208.33.85 has already been blocked for 3RR I don't think this guy's going to stop. --ChetvornoTALK 16:19, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Nevertheless, the statement being repeatedly reverted by the said user states "According to the World Christian Encyclopedia, the fastest-growing denomination in Islam is Ahmadiyya," which is wholly true irrespective of what other sources claim.--Peaceworld 21:34, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
Blocked – for a period of 24 hours. We don't normally block users for a week for first-offense edit warring. Nowhere does this user say they object to non-Muslim, or Christian-authored sources. There objection is clearly that a self-proclaimed "Christian" encyclopedia is inherently biased. Of course, that isn't a valid reason to edit war over the removal of the content, which is written neutrally regardless. Will direct the editor to the proper venue to voice their concerns.

- No real evidence of attempt to resolve conflict other than above mentioned user talk page comment, which clearly takes place after the last indication of edit-warring and so there is no basis that any edit-warring after the final warning has taken place. While editors can revert comments on their user talk page without responding directly to them, and that is a reasonable indicator that they have read or at least been aware of the message contained, I don't see any clear evidence that specifically indicates user talk pages qualify under WP:3RR. So, all in all, I honestly see no basis for action, other than perhaps a warning, to Theobald. However, I do see that this complaint itself is also possibly at least as problematic, because it seems to be asserting that edits made before the warning qualify as edit-warring, which is sometimes questionable. That raises potentially serious WP:CIR and/or WP:GAME concerns, and this would not be the first time that such concerns regarding the first of those and the filing party have been raised, and on that basis, if there are to be any reprimands to Theobald, I would think that Tgeairn might reasonably deserve a similar reprimand. It might also be possible that this dubiously substantiated complaint might itself qualify as a form of Harassment as per WP:HARASS. It might not be unreasonable for the reviewing editor to consider taking this matter to WP:AE for consideration there. John Carter (talk) 16:08, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
- I have not violated the 3R-rule at all. Tgeairn is a COI-editor whose greatest pleasure it is to nail his adversaries unto the cross.

Tgeairn is a Landmark defender who tries to eliminate every notable subject that has any involvement with NRM's. Theobald Tiger (talk) 16:54, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
- I also note that the material Tgeairn added after my initial comment, in this link here are at best questionably relevant to the current discussion, and I once again question the thinking which would make this matter one raised here as opposed to at the AE page, which would I think be the place most editors with a basic grasp of policies and guidelines might think to be the appropriate place to raise such concerns about the behavior of editors who have previously been involved in an AE case and in a topic area in which discretionary sanctions have been authorized.

- There are exemptions, vandalism or clear not seeing of the hidden message, that says 10 reviews only, which most of that was. And I removed it when I saw it. I'm not supposed to do that? And might I note that you are Hounding me? And you tend to not care about others when they are edit warring? Especially himself, as he reverted 3 edits on Walter O'Brien by an IP user. -- Joseph Prasad (talk) 04:29, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
- Lots of edit warring by IPs and a few SPAs seeking to include some vlog as a source as well as reversion of non NPOV language. Joseph has been pretty trigger happy with the undo button when he should have gone to WP:RFPP but I don't think this is edit warring. Blackmane (talk) 05:13, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Page protected, not by me. Couldn't put it better than Blackmane. Seems like most of those reverts are over fans of a music vlog trying to add it to the article, in repeated violation of WP:SPS. Relatively straightforward disruption that the article should and has been protected against. However, Joseph, you are being way too trigger happy with reverting and it's not safe to rely on edit warring exemptions, if there's an issue deal with it in the proper channels, don't edit war over it even if you think you're right.

Page protected for one week. IHardlythinkso is reverting more than other editors, but there are too many warriors involved.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:14, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- Bbb23, thx for recognizing what I've been up against (at least four editors taking turns reverting my edits). The last revert by me was made on the basis of WP:BLP (as said at WP:RPP and article Talk). I actually would prefer that you locked down the article for two weeks instead of one; however, your lockdown came after user Bullrangifer (in cooperation w/ editors Rhode Island Red and Jytdog) restored the offending material. (Additionally, his editsum contained not rationale just re-assertion: "restore perfectly good opinion of subject expert". In response to my editsum!?: "this text doesn't contribute to its article sec, and contains unsubstantiated claims of wrong of wrong-doing".) Thanks for your consider. IHTS (talk) 20:58, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- Implicit in your remarks is you want me to back out the last change to the article because of WP:BLP concerns. It's my view that the BLP problem is debatable. Thus, I think that should be one of the issues that you and the others work out on the article Talk page, or any other appropriate forum like WP:BLPN. And I sincerely hope you can work it out. Otherwise, there may be blocks if editors start restoring their own version after the protection expires.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:50, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- Bbb23, yes that's what I meant, thanks for your attention & your above reply. p.s. I understand discussion/consensus vs. reverting. (But my Q is, do the other four editors who have been reverting me? I mean, the gall of opening this thread at same time admitting to have also excessively reverted themself, what is that?! [I know what it is: Get a contending editor blocked, if you can't already drive them away thru frustration.] It was a perfect WP:BOOMERANG, but I'm not complaining. I'm glad some attention has been brought to bear. I presume when there are conflicts like this at the article, no admin may be aware!? This is my first time at WP:ANEW. Thx again for your attentions.) IHTS (talk) 09:54, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
- Administrators are obviously not aware of all the disputes going on at Wikipedia. It depends on whether there's a report at a noticeboard, a report somewhere else, the page is on their watchlist, etc. I don't want to speculate too much about the future. Another battle after the lock expires may trigger multiple blocks, or it may not. The only reason I singled you out wasn't just because you were reported but because, as I said, you appeared to be reverting more than the others. At the end of the day, you should focus on your own conduct and try not to get hung up on the equities of why-am-I-blocked-but-so-and-so-is-not. It's human to do that, but if you keep your nose clean, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:52, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

IHTS (talk) 20:58, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- What I see is IHTS's stubborn warring against a larger consensus, so their deletionism/whitewashing amounts to IDHT, TEND, and BATTLE. Their arguments are generally not based in policy, and when they mention any PAG, they reveal they don't understand them, and multiple other editors call them on it, but then they do their IDHT thing and keep on battling. It's very tiring. Even a superficial examination of their claims usually shows them to be groundless wikilawyering or blatant IDon'tLikeIt.
- They also throw around BLP claims as if BLP means that no negative content is allowed, and that's BS. Note that the diffs above are only a fraction of a repeated pattern, with many editors resisting IHTS's removal of sourced content they don't like. We're not writing a hagiography. Medical, legal, and government sources are overwhelmingly agreed that Burzynski's work is wrong, unscientific, unethical, and illegal on many levels, and the article must include that sourced content. IHTS doesn't like that content, but we can't accommodate them. A topic ban would be helpful. -- BullRangifer (talk) 03:51, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

User tag teams to perpetuate an edit war over the inclusion of a hidden note that warns editors about the infobox dispute. What should've been an edit-warring block has unacceptably resulted in the article being locked down for seven days. Alakzi (talk) 16:26, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
Page protected. I've also counselled Cassianto and another editor regarding personal attacks. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:36, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
- @HJ Mitchell: The protection, which was put in place in violation of WP:INVOLVED, is not warranted. Why should everybody have to suffer for one person's insolence? Cassianto wouldn't have breached the letter of the law; if it weren't for User:Dreadstar taking the bait, we'd have had none of this drama. The proper thing to do is to unprotect the article, and block Cassianto for disruption if he happens to revert again. Why have we let him turn WP:BRD on its head?

Block notice for 3RR: [63]. The editor made six edits in all.
Editor's block expired and the only two edits were to return to genre warring, expanding now to the album. This was exactly the behaviour the editor was blocked for. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:16, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

- I Don't think anyone has seriously tried to discuss genres with the user. If you look at Talk:Songs of Innocence (U2 album)#Genre, someone started off with a load of insults. Correctingsection0062 replied and then received no reply in return. Yaris678 (talk) 13:32, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
- Better discussion at Talk:The Miracle (Of Joey Ramone)#Sourcing. His block notice also makes the onus for discussion is on this editor: "During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection." Editor has clearly elected to edit war instead. While I agree that the sources are tenuous, they're better than removing all references and not adding any along with what appears to be an opinion. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:16, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
- I tried to discuss the genres with you, but you have an instinct of reverting instead of discussing. Not to mention that instead of discussing the topic you mostly focus on the reverting rules instead of the actual topic. Another thing that was quite perplexing was that you stated that you disagree with the source and stated that the source was weak, but you made no attempts to find a more reliable source. "While I agree that the sources are tenuous, they're better than removing all references and not adding any along with what appears to be an opinion." You know what's so contradicting about that is that you say that but the quote that you are supporting/not supporting ("While I agree that the sources are tenuous") are clearly reviewerers opinion. Hopefully, we can reach a consensus soon and we can have a real discusssion instead of you ignoring and reverting. Take care and have a nice day, your suggestions are welcomed.

Hello I would like to report David A for giving inaccurate information to wikipedia pages as he uses terms and theories that's aren't based on these fictional communities he have been doing this for a estimate 9 months now? He hardly gives any argument to why he does it and its annoying to see him vandalize and give people false information about the given series he complains and whines about everything on other social sites and he needs to learn he isnt accurate he already been told to leave a page alone where he failed to proof me wrong on any of the topics and at a few moments went off topic to talk about another problem from a long time ago other times people agreed David A at times is very ignorant and VERY biased as I debunked and showed his flaws he ignores them everytime! I proved Kami Tenchi aka Kami which Kami tenchi is a proven FAN term and not his actual name Proof Of Claims I stated

Continuously removing information from the Sweet Briar College page, claiming that alumnae are not notable. Has been recommending that wiki articles on women be deleted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Marshalyn_Yeargin-Allsopp
While this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polly_Sowell is a new article, and can stand to be revised, I fail to see how a woman in the US government is not a notable alumna of a college.

User is hell-bent on adding open world to Wikipedia articles. Fails to communicate with other users, does not follow consensus. I've selected Destiny, but they have also been told by others (@Sergecross73:, @Ferret:, @PresN:) for other articles to stop adding it. Soetermans. T / C 22:27, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
- ECW28's post history for the last few weeks has been really strange overall; he started off by adding "open world game" categories to various video games where it was fairly clear they weren't, then after being told that he needed to find reliable sources to back up those assertions, he went and made posts on several dozen video game talk pages asking for comment on if the game was an open-world game. Upon being told again that he needed to find reliable sources (and that most of his games were definitely not open-world games) he went and deleted most of the questioning talk page sections, then wiped his talk page. Today, he started edit warring over including the category on Destiny, and told Soetermans when he reverted him, "How bout you SHUT THE HELL UP?! [...] Stop coming up with bullshit. Revert my edit again and I'll report you for starting an edit war." Honestly, I'm considering just blocking him for competence concerns, but at this point I'm probably too involved, since I left some comments on his talk page (and he on mine). --PresN 22:56, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Not much to add personally, PresN summarized things to the point. I must admit that I was a little disturbed when he removed talk page sections that other editors had already replied to, and reverted some of that myself. -- ferret (talk) 23:53, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

And the reporter may not have violated 3RR, but he was edit warring as well, reverted twice in about the same time period. And I did attempt a discussion a long time ago.

Sorry but whether you are warned in advance of the 4th revert isn't really the point, you've just come off a block for exceeding 3RR and know the rules. If I was you I'd get ahead of a likely ban and make an abject apology - and perhaps a self-ban to get fresh perspective.

- (edit conflict)Joseph, I suggest you read WP:3RR and WP:EW. They are not necessarily mutually exclusive of each other. 3RR isn't a license to revert up to 3 times then you stop. The first time you reverted McQueen.30 on Seth McFarlane you should have opened a discussion on the talk page and asked McQueen.30 to join in a discussion. Communicating via edit summaries is not discussion. Communicating via edit summaries while reverting is edit warring. You're headed for a 2 week block for this one. You might consider voluntarily taking on a 1 revert restriction because if you continue down this vein, you will be indefinitely blocked. Blackmane (talk) 05:12, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

Trivialist seems to think that even though some articles, like Sony Pictures Entertainment and One Magnificent Morning "need" abbreviations throughout the articles--even though OMM isn't even an official one and has only one reference after the lead--ones like this one, B&E, "shouldn't" have them even though "B&E" may also be an unofficial abbreviation just like OMM is and there are multiple references in this article that abbreviations could be appropriate for. Somehow to him/her abbreviations here are "gratuitous" even though they aren't considered to be that way in so many other similar articles.
On the other hand, when someone tried to remove the other abbreviations because at first he/she didn't see the need for them (I've read the edit summaries, of course), and then the trivialist came by and explained why they were important there but were not important on articles where the name was not mentioned again later in the article, that other editor saw the vision and agreed. So why, now, should there be inconsistency between some articles where the name is both repeated several times more than in OMM, and are no more official than OMM?

I hope this is the right place to report this - Conor Woodman has had the world's slowest edit war going on since June 2014. Yes, seriously, nearly a year. It seems to be mostly 92.108.55.19 adding content duplicated from another article, which is then reverted by various other users. It's not quite fast enough to qualify for 3RR, but it's been happening nearly every day for the past month or so.

The facts are not in dispute; I have proposed we return to the original formulation while we let other editors provide their inputs but this IP continues to revert.
- Both 71.128.35.13 and Tom94022 are warned that if they continue edit warring in the article, they risk being blocked without notice. Both are reverting each other, and both are discussing their perspectives on the Talk page. There is no justification for the battle.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:15, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

User being reported: Redfoxjump (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
Diff of edit warring:
- [108] - edit summary does not relate to the issue that's being discussed, yet is used as justification for the edit.
- [109] - no edit summary. I made it clear that there had been a discussion regarding this issue that was open for more than a month. User never contributed to the discussion and proceeded to make his/her revision against the compromise that was discussed.
- [110] - no edit summary. user wants the final result of the conflict to be at the bottom of the infobox's result field? Possibly POV edit.
- [111] - no edit summary, edits are not from a neutral point of view. Do not reflect the proportionality of the contributions to the conflict.
- [112] - no edit summary, possibly POV edit.
Attempts to resolve dispute on article talk page:
- Talk:Japanese_invasions_of_Korea_(1592–98)#Result Section Discussion Continuation
- Talk:Japanese_invasions_of_Korea_(1592–98)#Request for Comment: Conflict Result - As of 05:56, 25 March 2015 (UTC), User:Redfoxjump posted a comment on this section, only after the noticeboard report had been filed and after he/she had finished recklessly reinstating all of his/her edits (performed @ 05:27, 25 March 2015 (UTC)). See the update in the comments section for full details.
Comments:
The user in question has shown that he/she refuses to discuss the issues that he/she has with the article, which in this case are the result field of the infobox and some wording disagreements in the opening paragraph. Although this user had previously complied with requests for discussion to resolve issues, the user would first recklessly change the wording to how he/she pleased, and then post a comment on the article's talk page without proper justification, a process that frustrated other editors involved including myself. The user would also abruptly leave the discussions and continue to make his/her edits.
The big problem is that now (as evidenced in the diffs and links above), the user now completely ignores the talk page altogether, despite my attempts to alert him/her to my attempts at discussion there. This user continues making the same exact edits, despite the fact that talk page discussions and compromises regarding these issues had taken place beforehand. I asked the user repeatedly to civilly discuss any issues he/she had with the article's wording, both in my edit summaries as well as by posting on the user's talk page. I don't know how else to stop this from continuing. BlackRanger88 (talk) 19:09, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
- Update: The user in question again decided to make the same edits as previously mentioned, before discussing them properly on the talk page. It may be possible that the user doesn't understand what I'm asking, due to a language problem. However, I sincerely ask that something be done about this.
I left the page without reverting User:Redfoxjump's edits in the interest of avoiding edit warring until this issue is resolved. It is clear that he/she will not stop reinstating his/her edits without proper discussion no matter how many times I ask in my edit summaries or on the article's talk page. So to be clear, the article in its current form includes the user's edits. BlackRanger88 (talk) 06:57, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
Declined. This seems to be mainly a content dispute between the two editors, the filer and the reported editor. The Talk page has been used, more by the filer than by the reported editor, but other than one other user (an IP), no one else seems to be taking a position on the dispute. Neither user has violated WP:3RR or even come close. BlackRange88, you cannot force another editor to talk. However, there are other dispute resolution mechanisms you can use that would hopefully pull the other editors into the discussion. I see little justification, though, for a block at this point.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:13, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
- @User:Bbb23: I respect your decision. It's just that this seems to be a direct violation of WP:BRD. In no way does the editor seek to find a compromise. It seems rather ridiculous that I have to be so accommodating for the other editor, when he/she ignores all my attempts to discuss the issue with him/her. I'm not trying to force him/her to talk, but it's kinda absurd that the other user's actions consistently follows this same exact cycle: "Ignore discussion. Force edits. Repeat." and that he/she is allowed to get away with it, without any consequences. BlackRanger88 (talk) 22:44, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

I spent extensive time adding information, backed up by sources, to this page. This user reverted everything, continuously, and posted a message to my talk page threatening to block me for my edits when I called him on reverting in bad faith and edit warring. (User_talk:24.212.232.229).
Comment: - User:Sportsfan_1234 appeared to be trying to remove a large and dubious edit to 2015 Pan American Games, added repeatedly by User talk:24.212.232.229. I commented on User talk:24.212.232.229s talk page about this. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 02:55, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
- If I may add, I peeked at one of User talk:24.212.232.229s past edits to a Toronto-based article, such as this one, and it was pure vandalism. Magnolia677 (talk) 03:04, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
- I left my comments on the user's talk page. Most of these edits are not neutral. Some of the information you added is incorrect (such as the budget growing from $1.44 billion, that's completely wrong). Other information such as linking unrelated transit projects to the games makes no sense for the article. According to the bidbook only the rail link was supposed to be built because of the games.

User:Piriczki reported by User:Manning Bartlett (Result: No violation)
[edit]The user is insisting on keeping a claim that the Eagles have the #1 album of all time, as there is a single 15 year old reference that supports this claim. I have pointed out that there are numerous other references available on Wikipedia which flat out contradict this claim, but the user is insisting on keeping it. (see discussion here) We have hit 3RR now. Manning (talk) 02:44, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
- PS mobile browser issues - I have not posted a notification on the user's page, I can't seem to copy the subst tag. If someone else can do it I would be most grateful. Manning (talk) 02:54, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
- Manning Bartlett please note that you have not filed a proper edit warring report so this may be rejected. Use the "Click here to create a new report" link near the top of the page to go to find a form that will allow you to create a report. On the other hand this looks to be a content dispute. A conversation has begun on the talk page. You will need to continue there. Next you can request a third opinion or a WP:RFC. MarnetteD|Talk 03:10, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry, mobile browser problems, can't get the subst tags to work properly. That is no grounds for rejecting an issue, as I have certainly provided all the links you need. And of course this is a content-dispute - what edit-war isn't? We have a 3RR situation, and as has been the way for the past 13 years, I am bringing for attention. I am also an administrator, but as is appropriate, I am not using my tools for a dispute I am personally engaged in. Manning (talk) 03:14, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
- I am afraid that you will find that you haven't. In fact Piriczki has only made one edit inserting the info and one reversion in the last 24 hours. So you may not wish to pursue the options I provided at the moment, but, you will have to eventually. MarnetteD|Talk 03:30, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

I think he/she should not have removed the sources because they provide good information about the subject, and they're not promotional.

- We'll I'm fairly new to the site compared with the editor who says they've been editing for "10 years, 7 months, and 6 days". I don't think his/her removal of the content does much for the site but it's a question for greater powers to answer. 104.173.225.10 (talk) 17:39, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

The user has created Kalvin Wilson, and is deliberately obstructing a WP:BLPPROD deletion, by removing templates. 7 reversions in 2 hours is clear edit-warring, especially as most of their edits have been removing WP:BLPPROD tags without actually solving the problem.

Pretty simple situation. We have an editor doing disruptive updates based on his own will. He was asked to stop, warned and still kept on going with incorrect updates. There's no good faith there as the section is pretty clear and the data is "obvious". Looks like he won't stop until he gets blocked. Might keep doing it more if he gets blocked for a small period.

Editor keeps re-adding unsourced or poorly-sourced material. Latest edits re-added same material and threw in link to source that does not support content. Warnings and direction to Wikipedia sourcing standards unheeded. Zad68

- That would certainly require their attention before they could continue, I'm OK with that approach.

Blocked indefinitely. Concur with Ed completely for obvious reasons. No contributions to the project whatsoever except for the promotion of a pseudoscientific belief system in an important medical article. Swarm X 20:47, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

multiple edits to remove valid 'false advertizing' category, attempts to talk with this user have not been successful. Seems to be a nvidia fanboy or associated with them. Denniss (talk) 10:03, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
- Add-on - user keeps blanking his talk page (removed warnings from me and two other users), obviously not interested in any discussion, did also not start discussing cat removal on article talk page. Don't know if that's just trolling/vandalism or paid editing. In his reverts he called me a liar and starting a smear campaign, the false advertizing cat is valid for the Geforce 970 issue with falsely advertized specifications. --Denniss (talk) 17:08, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
Comment This appears to be an unsourced claim which Nvidia denies. Perhaps the controversy, accusations, and ongoing can be mentioned somewhere in the article, but unilaterally labeling it as a matter of categorization seems to pretty obviously go against WP:NPOV and WP:NOR. And while the IP received templated policy notification, I don't even see any real attempt at discussion from either side. Don't see a one-way block as a solution here. Swarm X 18:27, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
Please read GeForce_900_series#GeForce_970_specifications_controversy - it's really hard to believe the specifications on their website (also communicated to and via their board partners) were 'accidentally' wrong. No serious hardware-related source believes this claim. If users hadn't questioned and investigated the strange performance issues shown by 970s, nvidia would still show the original (known wrong) specification. --Denniss (talk) 18:38, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
Removing the false advertising category when it is well sourced is just plain vandalism. This report would have been better taken to WP:AIV after the required vandalism warnings. I just won't use my administrator tools to block this vandal because I have been in a conflict with the same user, who edits from some Malaysian IPs. Jesse Viviano (talk) 02:21, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
- I disagree that this is vandalism. The controversy section in the article is well-written and sourced, and it could probably even be expanded. However the article itself makes no claim of false advertising. I understand the accusations completely and they're probably right, but in the spirit of NPOV and RS, the article shouldn't take a stance unless the claim is supported by reliable sources. Regardless,
Page protected until April 2 by MelanieN, which I agree with. Swarm X 20:57, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:
This is a quite simple case, and edit summaries have communicated the need for sources adequately, equating to short discussion
Comments:
First Diff, IP editor reverts long standing figure of 163 appearances to 195 without source or edit summary. I request a source in my edit summary, and restore the original value.
Second Diff, IP Editor reverts, and replaces the figure of 163 to 147, again unsourced. Again, I restore the original data, and request a source in my edit summary.
Third Diff, IP Editor uses original research and claims to have watched all episodes on YouTube, and reverts to the 147 value. (Note that it is impossible to actually watch six season of a half hour program, ~90 hours, in less than a day) This time, I actually research and find the appropriate number of episodes (184) via IMDB and reference that in my edit summary with the appropriate change. Yes, I do know that IMDB is not an RS for biographical data, but it is accepted for credits.
Fourth Diff, IP Editor reverts to their Original Research figure of 147. Subsequently, I stopped editing and came here.
Since the initial report, the Fifth and Sixth Diffs presented have been made, again changing the values of that data.
As this is my first time posting to this board, I trust that I will be informed if I have malformed this request, or have somehow misunderstood the rules. ScrapIronIV (talk) 19:38, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Comments:
User has a history of tendentious editing in this article. There was lengthy discussion of this material involving multiple editors, and consensus was reached on the material to be added and the wording to be used. The material is well-referenced in the appropriate section of the article. There is no consensus that this material needs to have the references repeated in the lede, in fact the references were at one point in the lede, and were removed by editor Hike395[[183]] as being unnecessary. To the extent that we have consensus, it is that the references do not belong on the lede. There is certainly not the "case-by-case basis by editorial consensus" required for inclusion of the references required by WP:LEADCITEMark Marathon (talk) 01:36, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
- Actually not so. No consensus was reached, as I've noted on the talk page, just that this editor declared one had been reached. In fact, other editors actually had significant problems with his wording. Not only that, but I started the sequence by undoing Mark Marathon's edit today, not the other way around. Most importantly, Mark Marathon is the one who partially reverted himself recently and added a citation-needed tag, and now he wants to take back his edit on his preferred terms. The whole issue here is silly, because all I am asking for is a citation in the lede of an extremely contentious statement. Ultimately, WP:LEADCITE defers to WP:CITE and WP:RS, otherwise one could write anything in the lead section under this pretext; and in any case, WP:LEADCITE also demands WP:Verifiability. Why fight? Just cite! Castncoot (talk) 02:02, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
- The issue is that you are edit warring. You have no consensus for your changes and refuse to gain consensus on the talk page. That is in blatant violation of WP:BRD, WP:STAUSQUO and WP:LEADCITE. Consensus is not gained by repeatedly reverting. That is an edit war.Mark Marathon (talk) 02:18, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
- As a matter of fact, 1) the initial changes today were yours, not mine, and 2) no consensus was reached by you either for these changes or the recent previous ones you had claimed consensus for.[184][185] So aren't you technically the edit warrior here? Best, Castncoot (talk) 02:48, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

User has been warned in the past [186] about his behavior under the pain of an indef block. Veggies (talk) 07:57, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
Blocked indefinitely No indication that the warnings against disruptive behavior have been taken seriously (i.e. leaving a block notice on OccultZone's talk page). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:34, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
- Editors should also note that this disruptive user has also edited under IP: User:92.97.208.37, as well as another sockpuppet account - now blocked. They have also left block warning notices, when not authorised to do so. They have had multiple warnings and have taken no notice. I totally support an indef block. David J Johnson (talk) 11:39, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
After all the discussion and warnings, this user is still asking for the block to be reviewed again - with further promises that disruption will not happen again. Frankly this is nonsense, as they have taken absolutely no notice of requests and warnings previously. I would remind admins and editors of the following:
- Deleting numerous warnings from many editors to stop vandalizing articles through March 2015.
- Ignoring warnings regarding taking credit for, and downloading, copyright images on March 24 and March 28.
- Removing legitimate Talk page comments on March 24 and March 28.
- Creating sockpuppet accounts: User:Kind Dude and IP:92.97.208.37
- Creating unauthorised "Block Warning" notices on March 28.
- Account blocked on March 25 and again on March 28.
With this extremely poor history, I urge the community not to lift the latest block. Wikipedia can well do without this constant vandalism. Regards to all, David J Johnson (talk) 14:19, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
