Diffs of the user's reverts:

1. Even after the report continues to edit war. He claims that one source allows him to edit the text. However there has been a several year long consensus that it is top ten. He has been called out on several article talks about his vandalism. The Talk has already built a consensus. I want to be civil but his constant hijacking of the article is clearly not in good faith: [2]
2. Drevolt deletes the more detailed USNews source which affirms the lead text: [3] — Preceding unsigned comment added by PurpleDeskChair (talk • contribs) 00:00, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
3. Same as the two cases below-- plain and simple edit warring: [4]
4. Re-adds his 'top 15' to the lead: [5]
5. Re-adds his 'top 15' to the lead despite regular and sustained objections by other contributors, sources, and the talk: [6]
6. Historical-- undoes contribution to rankings tab. I only include this example to illustrate his past history with this theme and how it is continuing. It does not relate to the present edit war: [7]

Comments:
I am a new Wikipedia editor so please forgive me if not using the correct terminology. For the past few weeks, Drevolt has been editing the University of Chicago wikipedia page to include that it is among the top 15 world universities in the lead paragraph. For several years the lead paragraph was that it was top ten in the world-- and all sources provided substantiate that. Nothing has changed and regular contributors all have a consensus around the former lead paragraph. However, for the past week Drevolt has been warring to have it phrased as top fifteen and has frequently undone other users edits to maintain its status. He refuses to use the chat feature and only undos other users edits. He is regularly called out for this. I am aware that he is also warring on the University of California, Berkeley page as well and has already been disciplined for a similar offense. In the UChicago article talk section, he has already been admonished for edit warring by several other contributors in past instances-- this is not a novel occurrence. I have attached a link from March of this year where (for several years leading up to this past week or so) the lead paragraph has been 'top ten on various national and international publications'-- Drevolt has not accepted this reality. I did not attach all links! There are many other cases of Drevolt edit warring on this article from past weeks. Please put a stop to this user's edit warring. As mentioned before, I am new to reporting users. Please let me know if I can update anything to conform to your guidelines.

PurpleDeskChair is the subject of an ongoing sockpuppet investigation for several previous accounts that engaged in disruptive editing on the University of Chicago page that were blocked several months ago. However, I'd also like to point out that prior to a recent change (and to PurpleDeskChair's disruptive editing), I hadn't edited the page in "the past few weeks", and my recent activity doesn't meet the 3RR definition of edit warring. My previous edits came two months ago in response to a sockpuppet campaign on the page from User:WildlyAccurate, who has since been permanently blocked for sockpuppeting after I reported it. Given the fact that User:PurpleDeskChair created this account yesterday and yet seems to already know a suspicious amount about the page history (and has a similar editing pattern to that of User:WildlyAccurate), I'm at least suspicious that this is the same user. Also, as a side note, I have not been "disciplined" for anything on the Berkeley page, whatever that means. --Drevolt (talk) 20:15, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

I first would like to note that I do not know that other user. I am an independent person with his first Wikipedia account. You have made two undoes in 24 hours and an edit all related to rankings. As well, you have made similar edits regarding rankings in the past. So much so that the talk is dominated by user complaints of your harassment of the page. You have a pattern on several university articles to mention rankings in a way which is unnecessarily negative. I do not believe you are acting in good faith when editing this article. Earlier today the UCBerkeley page got protected because of your continual edit warring on the exact same topic. PurpleDeskChair (talk) 20:55, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

User PurpleDeskChair is the subject of an ongoing sockpuppet investigation for several previous accounts that engaged in disruptive editing on the University of Chicago page that were blocked several months ago. The user's recent disruptive behavior closely resembles the wave of disruptive editing by sockpuppet accounts that occurred on the page in May 2020. Please see the sockpuppet investigation here for more information. --Drevolt (talk) 20:37, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

This sockpuppet report launched by you falls under the Wikipedia Harassment Policy as Drevolt is retaliating against me for reporting their edit warring:[10] PurpleDeskChair (talk) 20:52, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

I am pleased to share that his frivolous report of me as a sockpuppet has come out negative. Meanwhile, Drevolt continued weaponizing Wikipedia's editing into a personal battle on several University Wikipedia articles to adjust their rankings. PurpleDeskChair (talk) 23:58, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Worth noting at this point Drevolt has violated the 3RR rule. PurpleDeskChair (talk) 00:01, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Nope, still haven't. --Drevolt (talk) 00:16, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

While it does not pass the 24 hr threshold-- you have continuously and repeatedly done the same action well above the '3' minimum within 48 hours. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PurpleDeskChair (talk • contribs) 00:36, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Here's one of the exceptions to the 3RR policy: "Reverting actions performed by banned users in violation of a ban, and sockpuppets of banned or blocked users." Given your various connections to the many sockpuppet accounts that have been blocked for editing on that page, I expect the final decision in the ongoing sockpuppet investigation to provide pretty clear vindication on this point. --Drevolt (talk) 00:41, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

What evidence do you speak of? Your only claim is that we 'sound similar'. I do not know these users and have not engaged with them and the fact is no admin/CU has found ANY EVIDENCE to support your allegations. PurpleDeskChair (talk) 00:47, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Alright, I might as well just address these point by point. Of the six diffs you have linked:

1. This one is reverting an edit by a confirmed sockpuppet of WildlyAccurate who is now blocked.
2. This one is reverting an obviously non-constructive change to a cited source (the sentence is about global rankings, so replacing a source about global rankings with one about domestic rankings was not appropriate there).
3. Another was a revert of your edit which directly contradicted one of the cited sources and so uncontroversially did not belong there.
4. Another was to revert your edit warring with Contributor 321, who had rightly reverted an anonymous IP edit with no edit summary.
5. Another is from several months ago and is not relevant to your present report.

Even if these edits were not spread out over a longer period than is covered by 3RR (which they were), they were also good faith edits made in in order to combat persistent problems with sock puppetry on this article. You don't have a case here. --Drevolt (talk) 21:52, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Drevolt, these claims have been debunked. SEVERAL admins and CUs said they found no evidence I am a sock puppet. Cut it out with these personal attacks and let’s instead try to be productive about this all. I’ve invited every user to participate in the talk discussion on the article. You constantly resort to attacking my existence instead of responding to my ideas. Clear ad hominem attacks: [11] PurpleDeskChair (talk) 22:05, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Where did I call you a sock puppet in any of that? Please reread it and click through to the linked pages, I was referring to an edit by a confirmed sockpuppet account. Please point out a single claim that I just made that was "debunked". --Drevolt (talk) 22:24, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

You called me a sock puppet here and here: [12] [13]. Even after admins said I likely wasn’t one, you insisted on it. They defended that it is highly unlikely I am one and your report that I am a sock puppet was closed without any disciplinary action against me. Stop harassing me— it isn’t a healthy hobby. PurpleDeskChair (talk) 22:32, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

You replied to my comment and said that 1) I was calling you a sock puppet in that comment, which I wasn't, and 2) that any of those claims have been "debunked", which they haven't. Do you have anything to say about either of those things? And regarding everything else you're saying, I reported you as a suspected sockpuppet because your behavior was consistent with a recurring sockpuppet user on that page, and I stand by that move. Reporting suspicious behavior does not constitute a personal attack, no matter how much you might think it does. --Drevolt (talk) 22:34, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

I don’t mind a good faith report. What I mind and find personal is when you go to the admins afterwards and ask “is there anything else you can do about this” after they declined the sock puppet case. And then make a point of informing every talk I am in that I am “under investigation” for being a sockpuppet. You have gone out of your way to delegitimize me. Your defamation scheme has failed. PurpleDeskChair (talk) 22:41, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Suspicious behavior can and should be labeled as such. Again, everything I did was in line with policy, not once did I say that you were a confirmed sockpuppet. I'm going to take your refusal to engage with the substance of my original comment as an acknowledgement that everything I said was correct. If that's the case, I'd like to ask you to withdraw this report. If not, I'm going to stop replying here and let the admins come to their own conclusions. --Drevolt (talk) 22:47, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

I suggest in the future you admit to it instead of lying about your actions. Thanks. PurpleDeskChair (talk) 23:01, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

• Update 4 August 2020: Just thought it was relevant to mention that the page has now been semi-protected as a result of persistent sockpuppet editing, and that at least one of the users whose edit I reverted has now been blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet. --Drevolt (talk) 00:12, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Comments:
I have used edit summaries to tell the editor that this is a personal attack. The editor templated me for removing the PA and continued to ad the Arshole comment. Lightburst (talk) 02:38, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

• No action. NPA says that "removal should typically be limited to clear-cut cases where it is obvious the text is a true personal attack". Iridescent's comment is not aimed against a named editor and he is describing something that happened a significant number of years ago to illustrate his point of view - before going on to say why he doesn't agree with Guy's statement despite his previous comments. Black Kite (talk) 02:41, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
• (edit conflict) Comment: I was just working on a report on both of these users when Lightburst filed this. Both of them have been warned to stop edit warring (Lightburst's warning) and SerialNumber went as far as to violate the 3RR. If I were the acting administrator, I would take action against both of them honestly. They could have stopped reverting and discussed at anytime and both chose not to do so. Darkknight2149 02:43, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

• I'm working on the basis that hopefully it will cease now and we'll carry on without blocking either of two users in good standing. Black Kite (talk) 02:45, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

LB writes 'Arshole' comment here, but when I wrote the same exact thing at ANI referring to Iri's comment, LB removed it repeatedly as a PA. ^Lev!v^ich 02:46, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

• @Black Kite: as long as it's established that the phrasing stays and should not again be reverted, I'm agreeable. I'll probably make sardonic remarks on my talk regarding Darkknight2149, though. ——Serial 02:48, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Darkknight2149 is correct. I did three reverts because I do not like being called an arshole - Levivich knows what he is doing and so does Serial. And Serial did 4 reverts. I stopped at three and came here. Not sure I should catch a block for removing an obvious PA. Can I call editors arsholes? Probably not. Lightburst (talk) 02:49, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

• Iridescent wasn't calling you an arsehole, he was recalling the historical issues of problems with ARS members on AFDs, which were probably before you started editing. Black Kite (talk) 02:54, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

not at all true. i work my tail off here creating content. this is WP:UNCIVIL and I am ashamed that this is where we are - no action? We have a case of four reverts to basically add in an asshole PA and that is ok? Strange...but ok. I will do my best to steer clear of their wake. Cheers. Lightburst (talk) 02:58, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

• @Lightburst: It may be an uncivil word, but Iridescent wasn't using it an uncivil manner, he was basically saying "I'm no friend of ARS ... and this is how much I wasn't back in 2009 or whenever" ... but then says he doesn't agree with the OP suggestion. I think that's OK. If he'd said "I see that ARS are still being arseholes" or something like that, you'd have been quite correct. Black Kite (talk) 03:02, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

When I was a kid, the way people got around being the one throwing the insult, they would say...someone said your mother is fat. in other words I did not say it. Black Kite, you are good people, and have seen you around on the project, but you are very wrong here...I will move on. I started three articles yesterday, one today, saved two others today, and this ANI kerfuffle has been a time suck - I have editing to do, and these guys are always lutrking in the drama boards. Lev and Serial work together to provoke me for a while now(maybe that is an aspersion?), and I should be smarter. I want you to remember this day, when I say something off color, and then revert it in four times. Cheers Lightburst (talk) 03:09, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

I understand completely; we'll just have to agree to disagree, I'm afraid. Black Kite (talk) 03:15, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

• No further comment: I encountered two edit conflicts (one when Lightburst filed the report and one when Black Kite posted the result) and there have been further responses. I think the situation is now being handled, so my work is done. The last thing I will say is that I would prefer if neither side spun around my diffs against the other person, because both parties are guilty of edit warring.

User has changed the format of the article to deviate from the original format and has refused to seek consensus to change it away from that which has been consistently used for Washington election articles. Reywas92^Talk 05:00, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Reywas92 reverted just as many times and I started the discussion to resolve the issue. You can see in the discussion and edit history how uncivil Reywas was. Tedm03 (talk) 04:57, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

You can see the full discussion on the matter on Talk: 2020 Washington gubernatorial election. Basically, many 2020 election articles that use similar primary systems, such as 2020 United States Senate special election in Georgia, use the format of more sections. The format used on previous Washington articles crams too many things into one section and buries the primary results table, especially on mobile. There are dozens of candidates in this race and it takes forever to scroll all the way to the bottom. There is a false assumption that the format is by state, but that makes no sense. They are all election articles. I will also add that there's no benefit to the system Reywas uses, it's clearly outdated. Tedm03 (talk) 05:05, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Tedm03 has reverted me three times at 2020 United States Senate special election in Georgia as I have restored the page to its original format, which is consistent with 2020 Georgia's 5th congressional district special election, 2017 Georgia's 6th congressional district special election, 2010 Georgia's 9th congressional district special election, and 2007 Georgia's 10th congressional district special election, as well as articles for Washington and California (all elections) and Hawaii (special elections) which have all candidates running in a single initial election. This user has no interest in establishing consensus to change from the established format. Tedm03 is making the same edits as Smith0124 (original change for format to Tedm03's preference at Georgia and Washington), along with other similar articles edited, so I am concerned about block evasion/sockpuppetry, as they jumped into editing infoboxes in election articles shortly after Smith0124 was blocked. Apparently my warning of this user is a "personal attack". Reywas92^Talk 05:47, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Comments:
At first I thought the user was reverting my edit because it lacked a source, so I added one, but they continued reverting anyway without explanation. I've also had trouble with this user in the past, and they seem to be bored and after some kind of payback. Earlier this year they added a non-free image to a page without fair use rationale (see here), and subsequently reverted my attempts to remove it (see here and here), even though I explained in the edit summary why it had to be removed (see here). The user then left an abusive message on my talk page. Based on other recent edits where they engage in page blanking and use offensive language, I can't assume good faith and believe these reverts will continue until someone intervenes. - HappyWaldo (talk) 08:40, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Apparently motivated by a position of scriptural inerrancy. Similar deletions were made by IPs in the edits preceding. Numerous other editors are engaged in discussion on the talk page, but the user has ignored this and gone straight to the lead. GPinkerton (talk) 22:17, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

This is drewwesley. If you want to maintain a viewpoint that the Book of Exodus is a myth, keep that in your historicity section and leave the lead section alone. You don't determine what's fact and what's myth. I can also report you GPinkerton for reverting my edits 3 times within 24 hours and perpetuating this edit war. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drewwesley (talk • contribs) 22:39, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

He reverted you twice, you were reverted by two other editors after that, making that 4 reverts by you in 24 hours.—Ermenrich (talk) 23:23, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

The reported user is still edit warring and has since made several more reverts. Bennv3771 (talk) 00:05, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

This is drewwesley. I omitted a highly-debatable statement from the lead section that's already mentioned in the historicity section. By concluding that the events recorded in the Book of Exodus are mythical, you're asserting the book is mere fiction. Why do many scholars and even atheists rely on the Bible as a reliable historical source, and what contradiction is there with archeological and anthropological findings. This is not edit warring, this is a war on the tenets of Christianity, Judaism, and Islamism. You're using the reference of one Ivy League professor to assert that the events recorded never occurred the way they're recorded. There will always be people who dismiss the Bible as truth, and those who support it. It's not up to you to determine for the world what's fact and what's myth. Let people figure that out for themselves. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drewwesley (talk • contribs) 00:34, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Drewwesley made 8 reverts at Book of Exodus in less than 3 hours, without editing the talk page at all. Zero^talk 01:04, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

This is really unacceptable behavior. May I ask that something be done about it? This case has been sitting here since yesterday, Drewwesley reverted other users 8 times on a single page in three hours, hasn't shown any understanding that he's edit warred, and is likely to start doing it again soon if nothing is done.--Ermenrich (talk) 22:00, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

I told the IP that their edits constituted original research, since the sources for each edit do not mention "hysteria" or "mass hysteria", and some of the writing was a synthesis of multiple sources (to imply a conclusion not stated by the sources). The IP previously violated the 3RR and did not revert their fourth reversion when asked to on their talk page. They did post on the article's talk page ( https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_mass_hysteria_cases&diff=prev&oldid=971105285 ) after their fourth reversion, but did not address any editors' specific concerns, and they have not attempted to participate in a discussion of any sort (specifically, they have not replied to my attempt at discussion, and have instead reverted another of my edits, where I removed content that has been contested by various other editors in the past, but was restored through edit warring).

Different IPs have been restoring the same or similar content continuously on this page since March, despite various editors deleting the content and discussing their concerns on the talk page. The IPs have commonly called it "censorship", and this particular IP has called the deletion of their version "political revision", in their edit summaries.

• Result: Semiprotected indef. The filer, User:Whisperjanes, offers a good summary of the problem. Different IPs have been making similar reverts over a long period of time. Based on the edit summaries it appears that in many cases one person is using multiple IPs. The edits which call government response to Covid an 'hysteria' seem to be POV-pushing.

The article is covered by the Syrian Civil War sanctions and therefore only 1 revert per 24H is allowed. Ibn Amr has reported me for the same at Tell Abyad, and I was blocked afterwards even after I have self reverted.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 10:12, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

First, no, the article is not covered under the Syrian civil war sanctions (1RR). Second, I have clearly and duly explained on the Talk page here, here, here and here why the content added by user Konli17 (an agressive, recently-blocked edit warrior) is POV-pushing using one obscure, unreliable propaganda source and is WP:UNDUE. Third, it's hilarious that one edit warrior (previously blocked for running sock-puppets) and recently-blocked for edit-warring is reporting me here. User PC refused to abide by previous arbitration suggestions at the DRN and NPOV noticeboard and continued to remove sourced, relevant content here from NYT and The Washington Institute. Cheers, Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 15:01, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

This is possibly the most aggressive anti-AANES editor on Wikipedia at the moment, whose problematic behavious stretches back years. It doesn't surprise me in the slightest that they hypocritically argue that Ayn Issa ought not to be covered by edit-warring sanctions but nearby Tell Abyad should, this is a typical supremacist double standard. This user's hypocrisy is on constant display, and their behaviour is manifest over a range of article. They are guilty of almost every accusation they throw at others. Konli17 (talk) 16:23, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

This is a content dispute not a edit warring.Peacetowikied (talk) 16:30, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

No violation. Confirming that the page is not (yet) covered by the GS. Konli17, please refrain from casting aspersions. This is not the noticeboard to advance that claim, anyway — but you should not make accusations of that nature without evidence to back it up in the first place. El_C 16:36, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Can I have an explanation why I was blocked by El C at Tell Abyad? At Tel Abyad there is no Syrian Civil War sanctions warning like there is in Ayn Issa now.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 16:48, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

That's an excellent question, which I would also like to see answered. Amr has also evaded blocking for activity that I received a block for. Konli17 (talk) 16:59, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

@El C: Actually I'm pretty sure, technically, it is covered by the GS. Per WP:GS/SCW&ISIL#1RR: "[A] one revert rule, which does not require notice, with the following specifications is imposed: All articles related to the Syrian Civil War and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, broadly construed, are placed under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24 hour period) [exceptions omitted]. Editors who otherwise violate this 1RR restriction may be blocked without warning by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offence." (emphasis added). FWIW, I've added the talk page notice and editnotice, which I (think I) can do as a non-admin because it's not an imposition of a sanction, but a courtesy notification of a restriction applied to a topic. That said, fairness probably requires a warning on the pages before a block or other sanction, even if the GS does not. Best, --Mdaniels5757 (talk) 17:43, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

I don't apply GS or DS sanctions without an article and its talk page having proper notices, at the very least — as well as WP:AWARE-like user talk page notices. The log indicates that Paradise Chronicle was blocked for WP:3RR, not for anything having to do with the WP:GS, but also that the block was lifted shortly there after. I don't immediately recall the details there, nor can I speak for the admin who blocked Konli17. El_C 19:09, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for the explanation El C. Anyway, I still encourage an admin/sysop to look into this (wider) dispute.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 21:30, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Clear violation of 3RR. Editor is insisting their version is the only correct version but fails to provide sources. At least three other editors have attempted to discuss this on the article talk page. freshacconci (✉) 13:45, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

If I am allowed to comment I would point out that I have cited the substantive research on the topic and that freshacconci has opposed other fact based edits (with citations) on other pages that I have been involved in editing, and always on the issue of female artists being removed from or not even mentioned in art they were involved in. I note that he is now trying to get me banned and constantly removing referenced articles from the page. Wiki has to reflect what the knowledge is on a subject now and in terms of this particular art work the research is extensive. None of the 3 editors involved have responded to the discussion about this on the talk page for the article actually and refuse to discuss the more recent research that has been cited. It seems they have no interest in the page being corrected when important, cross referenced and accepted research is published. There are claims that I have not referenced the added research but I have (citation 9 on the article). For ref I am an artist with an extensive track record in terms of research into female artists. I am not editing from a position of lack of knowledge but an in-depth one on the subject. User: JrFedit —Preceding undated comment added 13:53, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

• Just to say there is a genuine controversy here, but it is far from settled in the art world. We had a well-attended Rfc on this very point in 2018, which concluded we should use the form people are reverting to (see the talk page) . I'm not aware there has been anything much new since then, and while the wider consensus outside WP maybe on the move, it has a good way to go before we are likely to shift our position here. User: JrFedit might make a better impression if they worked out how to sign talk page posts. Johnbod (talk) 14:06, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

• Note: JrFedit has now reverted for a fifth time [42] and will clearly continue to do so without waiting for a talk page consensus. freshacconci (✉) 14:09, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
• And a sixth time: [43]. Note the edit summary. freshacconci (✉) 14:18, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

freshacconci is misrepresenting this issue. I reversed one of the edits and another was merely to clarify an earlier edit. I have attempted to discuss this topic on the talk page but as anyone can see the responses have been dismissive at best and do not show any signs that the other editors have read citation 9 (which keeps being removed). If they are not prepared to even look at all of that research then I can't see that they should be allowed to have such an influence on that or any other page. User: JrFedit —Preceding undated comment added 16:06, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

I noticed this user changing neutral language of sourced information to their own opinion on Fountain (Duchamp) and on Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven.

Comments:

I've linked to reverts by other IP addresses that I presume are by the same person. 삭은사과 and I have repeatedly asked this user to engage on the talk page, but the editor keeps reverting before discussion is complete and has not addressed the points we've made. I've refrained from reverting this time. Ezhao02 (talk) 17:45, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

The closing admin might consider a block of Special:Contributions/94.250.160.0/19, which would cover all the IPs listed above. EdJohnston (talk) 18:54, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

• Blocked – Two weeks to Special:Contributions/94.250.160.0/19 for long term edit warring. They have constantly reverted about the same thing since 26 July at Croatian Democratic Union. (View the page history and check out their repeated addition of 2,147 bytes to the article). They are insisting that certain references be cited in the infobox, while others say that those items are already cited in the article body. This editor has never used the talk page to discuss their desired change. Updated per below. EdJohnston (talk) 00:54, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

As person who reported this IP address, I'd like to correct one small part of your statement. The editor did use the talk page to discuss the desired change ([67]), but he/she did not address the issues we brought up with that change and did not respect the current consensus.

This is much more concerning than a 3RR. This extremely combative user is currently engaged in several edit wars and has introduced numerous errors at Hino Ranger. The user also absolutely refuses to own their mistakes and, in so many words, says that if they offend anyone then stay out of their way "or they will bite."  Mr.choppers | ✎  02:20, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

• Withdrawn - User has since started an RFC on the talkpage, They really should've been blocked the moment this was reported because either way it was blatant edit warring,

Honestly makes me feel like why do I bother ?, Why don't I just continue in the back and fourth edit warring until we both get bored as either way it won't make a blind bit of difference. (Ie they still won't be blocked for it) - The exact same happened with another user whom I reported - They were warned and then a year later warned again ..... just makes me feel like why the hell do I bother coming here anymore if nothing's ever done about it. –Davey2010^Talk 11:16, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

User:Lugnuts is arbitrarily updating the {{Use dmy dates}} with a newer date. There is no reason for this and it simply bloats their edit counts and creates confusion. User has been asked several times to stop doing this & they continue, in addition to reverting to the point of edit warring when people revert their edits & ask them to stop [88], [89], [90]. I have linked above several times of them disregarding reverts & comments on their talk page, but I've personally experienced at least 25 different articles this occurring on. ThePersecuted (talk) 05:17, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Maybe ThePersecuted could explain why they needed to follow my edits and make reverts on each and every one of them? As I've already explained, I check everything on my watchlist for vandalism, including running an update to unify any date formats in a given article. Infact Template:Use dmy dates states that it's fine to do this - "Use the parameter |date= for the month and year that an editor or bot last checked the article..."

He frequently informs users of his personal anti-religious slant. Nothing wrong with that but he seems to have a serious chip on his shoulder regarding this issue and seems to believe it makes him more NPOV than other editors.

Comments:

Warning against 3RR has been issued (and ignored) by user. This user is attempting to remove some information on the page and has started dispute resolution but is well out of 3RR territory and seems to show some WP:BATTLEGROUND behaviour in reverting to their preferred version in spite of requests that the clean (pre-dispute) version should ideally be kept. JavaHurricane 16:21, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Additionally user inserted a copyvio, removed a copyvio revdel template twice and slapped a user with a 3RR notice without any apparent cause as far as I can tell. JavaHurricane 16:22, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

I am a new editor and was unaware of the 3RR. It has been respected now as I have filed for dispute resolution through appropriate channels. Apologies for inconvenience, just trying to remove slander from a page. Fogoros09 (talk) 16:43, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Impossible to figure out what the IP's point is, and they have never posted on Talk. The simplest way to deal with this might be semiprotection of the main station, KEUS-LD and of their sister station, KANG-LD. The IP's /64 range is Special:Contributions/2600:1700:5E0:25C0::/64. I am not certain yet if there is reason to block the /64 for disruption. Their edits don't look to be straight vandalism, but they are all over the place with no obvious rationale.

Edit warring in response to the addition of an {{undue weight}} tag. I tried to explain the issue on the talk page and was met first with stonewalling, then with some rather absurd accusations of having bitten a third party and engaged in personal attacks against the editor. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 23:46, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Rosguill had been asked to back off on the newbie WP:BITE who had just refreshed (created) the article. And he also made the statement he edits based on a 'practice he's adopted', not necessarily policy, so his edits may be POV and over the top IMHO. He also inferred that all his issues related to 'prim sources', so in that case extra tags were not required on the page, just the one tag I left there - so I considered both his concerns addresses by the one tag - so issue addressed. In fact he went searching for other tags he could attribute for the page in his opinion, after he got the first tag completely wrong (tag bombing?). Also he got insulty to me here and here. He can discuss his concerns on talk without bringing the newbie down by over-tagging the article. CatCafe (talk) 00:01, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Also edit-warring takes two, with the other party being Rosguill, so if I'm in the wrong a WP:boomerang for Rosguill may be in order. CatCafe (talk) 00:08, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

The comment about adopted practices is in reference to Talk:Yasmine_Mohammed#Not Canadian, where I was explaining my rationale for an edit to the article's summary. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 00:05, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Rosguill admits he edits, and in this case edit-wars, based on a 'practice he's adopted'. If he does this is in some instances, it does not ensure trust for, and puts a black cloud over all his other editing instances. CatCafe (talk) 00:16, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

However CatCafe violated 3RR, and Rosguill did not. 3RR is intended to be a "bright line", in which a block is all but automatic. Also, while it takes two to edit war, context matters. If one party is clearly engaged in disruptive editing and the other is doing nothing wrong, this further justifies a one-sided block. CatCafe is clearly the disruptive party here. Arguing over the need for a tag is valid, however, removing a tag that has not been resolved is inappropriate, per WP:WNTRMT. Looking at Talk:Yasmine Mohammed#Primary sources and undue weight, I can clearly see that Rosguill had explained the reason for the tag, articulating two seperate issues in their initial comment. Bizarrely, CatCafe essentially ignored everything Rosguill was saying about the undue weight, and repeatedly brought up a misinterpreted, unrelated issue about how the article needed more primary sources. Now an honest misunderstanding I can forgive, however, by the time Rosguill clarified that there were two seperate tags for two seperate issues, CatCafe had already violated 3RR over the tag, before they even understood Rosguill's argument. Not good, but then when Rosguill clarified that he was making two distinct arguments, Cat seemingly ignored this as well, simply saying that his "opinion was not supported" (whatever that means) and that "your tag needs to be removed" while it gets discussed (which is not how things work). The exchange really is concerning, with Rosguill simply articulating a routine concern and Cat appearing unwilling or unable to engage in reasonable, good faith communication. I appreciate Cat's concern for WP:BITE. It's an important principle that goes ignored far too often. However this was not even a new user. Even if they were, adding a maintenance tag with a civil explanation is not "biting". In their drive to defend an editor from being "bitten", Cat disrupted an article and created a hostile atmosphere for a user who did not do anything wrong. Really poor display on the part of CatCafe here, even if they were trying to do the right thing. ~Swarm~ ^{sting} 01:26, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

• This was posted just after I made this report as I realised that they continued reverting as I was writing it.
• Also, this discussion on my User Talk page

Comments:

This user is repeatedly trying to change the introduction to this article to conflate Inflation with Monetary Inflation, which is clearly their preferred economic theory. This is very much non-neutral and makes for an introduction that contradicts the content in the body of the article. They refuse to discuss it or even to acknowledge that there are a multiplicity of views of inflation which we have to ballance. I have attempted discussion on their User Talk page and mine and encouraged them to use the article's Talk page. Nothing does any good. They are convinced that they are correct. They just remove the warnings from their User Talk page. Their edit summaries also border on personal attacks. I was just about to start a discussion on the article's talk page when I saw that they had reverted yet again so I am bringing it here instead. Given how hard they are pushing their preferred POV, and not listening to advice, this may well be a WP:NOTHERE issue. DanielRigal (talk) 22:22, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

In response to : User:DanielRigal This user is continually reverting my edits in a topic in which he admits he does not know. After offering him clear advice, definitions, resources and sound logic, he refuses to do proper research before editing my changes. If wikipedia is to grow in accuracy you must stop people like DanieRigel from creating drawbridges that prevent advancement of knowledge. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nightside (talk • contribs) 22:27, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

@Nightside: I took a look at your edits, and at the least, you are not following the Wikipedia Manual of Style. I've reverted your edits. You need to get consensus for your changes, since they have been opposed by other editor(s). If you're knowledgeable in the topic, you should be able to provide reliable sources at Talk:Inflation to get other editors to support your change. —C.Fred (talk) 22:36, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

(Edit clash) I have made no such admission as Nightside alleges. I have been upfront that I am not an economist but that is all. I am aware that there are multiple views of inflation and that the definition given in the introduction to article prior to Nightside's edits defined it correctly (with references) and set up the article to discuss the various views of the topic in a way that the reader can understand. Nightside insists on bypassing all that and simply asserting their own preferred opinions (without references) as if they were plain facts. All I have been doing is reverting this back to the established correct introduction, which I did not write myself, and encouraging Nightside to discuss it. This is not about me. This is Nightside edit warring against the consensus version of the article. --DanielRigal (talk) 22:40, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

@DanielRigal: It doesn't matter if you're correct, edit warring is still disruptive. The reviewing admin will, however, note that both of you were edit warring. —Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 02:05, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Comments:
This user was previously taken to AN3 for edit-warring over Biden's photo which resulted in them being told to refrain from changing the photo without a clear consensus. Despite this, on June 25, they again edit-warred over the picture. The admin responding to the initial report, EdJohnston, decided to give them another chance. They are now edit-warring over the photo again without discussing it on a talk page. They also appear to be engaging in generally disruptive editing at 2020 Democratic National Convention, which GoodDay has noted on their talk page: [156] — Tartan357  ^(Talk) 18:47, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Dare I state it. I can no longer keep up with the lad's editing spree. He's basically taking over the article. GoodDay (talk) 18:59, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

There was a clear consensus. There was a discussion on the talk page. We voted to change the picture to the one which it is now. All was fine and dandy until @Tartan357, decided to step in and, I guess to tick me off, and ONLY to tick me off, to change the picture from the one I was using and had been using for almost two months, to that ugly one which, BTW was never agreed to by anyone. What Tartin did was vandalism and he's trying to have me punished for HIS. NOt Cool.

Persistent edit warring on Columbia University. User has now consistently removed content from Columbia University page that is cited with reputed sources. User may have POV issue with Columbia University. XXeducationexpertXX (talk) 23:14, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

XXeducationexpertXX: Funny, I was just in the middle of reporting you here. I’ll just go ahead and roll that report into this post for the admins’ convenience.

First, at least three editors have reverted your disruptive edits on the Columbia University page over an extended period of time, myself being one of them. All three of us are users with an extended history of editing articles on higher education.

Second, two reverts of your disruptive edits on my part does not constitute edit warring. This would be true even if your edits weren’t a blatant violation of the higher education consensus on NPOV, which they are. You’ve been repeatedly asked by multiple editors to discuss on the talk page, and you haven’t.

Third, you’ve repeatedly reverted my edits on my own talk page despite being warned that this violates Wikipedia guidelines.

Fourth, as far as I can tell, this is all part of a much broader pattern of disruptive editing on your part. You’ve been repeatedly warned by many different users about both your POV edits on the Columbia article and apparent vandalism on other university articles. Seems to me like you’re not here to build an encyclopedia at all. —Drevolt (talk) 23:21, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Comments:
Both lead images have the exact same context: a person on a leash during some BDSM event. The only difference is the nudity.

Wikipedia is NOT censored. However, according to MOS:SHOCKVALUE and MOS:LEADIMAGE, "lead images should be of least shock value; an alternative image that accurately represents the topic without shock value should always be preferred".

"Sometimes it is impossible to avoid using a lead image with perceived shock value, for example in articles on human genitalia"... But that's not the case here, it is possible to use a lead image without perceived shock value. Both lead images bring the same information to the readers, the only difference is the nudity. There's no reason to remove the new lead image unless you're putting your personal preferences above Wikipedia's guidelines.

CurvedSpace was annoyed that I changed a photo that he likes. But he can't ignore Wikipedia's guidelines just because he likes the old lead image more. This is an attitude of bad faith. gabibb2 ^✉ 21:26, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

This editor is a fan of the series who has been causing disruptive edits and edit warring for weeks now. They have been edit warring on May on the same page and warned by another editor but they still keep revert changes for no reason. I already filed a dispute resolution days ago, but still no one volunteered and I’m tired of this user reverting good changes that follow the guidelines for no reason and always claiming we are bashing the series. This is becoming a case of wikipedia:Advocacy or wikipedia:conflict of interest. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 11:21, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

User:CherryPie94 thinks only fans can see how negative this page is. Compare it to pages of other kdramas - Crash Landing On You, It's Okay To Not Be Okay, Backstreet Rookie, Mr. Sunshine, etc. They are not half as negative as this. Those who see this injustice only want this page to be FAIR. It is already unfair and she still wants to make it even less so by highlighting another stone detractors have been throwing at this FANTASY drama - that it is historically inaccurate. She wants to rename a section of the page of a FANTASY drama from "Controversy" to "Historical Inaccuracies..." I have already noted my reason for reverting her change yet she still keeps on reverting my changes. She keeps on calling me an obsessed fan but it's looking like she is an obsessed detractor. I am not the only editor whose attempts to keep this page FAIR she has reverted. She is also using dirty tricks to keep me from making more edits. She has filed a dispute resolution request yet keeps making changes that make this page even more negative. She has reported me for sock-puppetry. And now this. The 3-revert rule is not even applicable since I did not make the reverts within a 24-hour period. Yet she jumped at my third revert which makes me suspect she was trying to trap me into violating the 3-revert rule. For more information, please see the following:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:The_King:_Eternal_Monarch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#The_King:_Eternal_Monarch Lizzydarcy2008 (talk) 17:02, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

To the admin reading this: This is not to report 3-revert rule, this is to report edit warring due to wikipedia:Advocacy. Also, I just want to say that since filing the dispute resolution, I have not touched the main sentence of the dispute (like the user claims on top), I worked with another user adding source and completing the original soundtrack and cast section instead. Now while trying to make the page neutral as possible and after reading WP:CSECTION (Sections or article titles should generally not include the word "controversies". Instead, titles should simply name the event, for example, "2009 boycott" or "Hunting incident"), I tried changing the section title from "Controversy" to "Historical inaccuracy and broadcast warnings", but this user keep reverting it for no reason, and they did not even try to changing the title if they have an issue with the use of "Historical inaccuracy". This is a clear case of wikipedia:Advocacy and I really don't know what to do. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 17:42, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

@CherryPie94:, you made changes a few hours before submitting the dispute. Very tricky. Please remove your detractor hat and compare this page with those of other kdramas, e.g. Crash Landing On You, Mr. Sunshine, It's Okay To Not Be Okay, etc. Those who are seeing how negative this page is just want it to be FAIR. "Historical inaccuracy" is biased. It is one of the incongruous charges detractors of this FANTASY drama have been throwing at it, and now you're making it the title of a section. It is a FANTASY drama, so historical inaccuracy is obviously nitpicking and you want Wikipedia to be party to it? These allegations of historical inaccuracies are already detailed in the section, yet you still want them to be highlighted in the title? As I noted in my summary response to your dispute resolution notice, this page is looking like Wikipedia just cannot help taunting this drama.Lizzydarcy2008 (talk) 18:03, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

If WP:Reliable Sources are generally more negative about this particular TV series, then there's nothing Wikipedia can do about it. If you think that there's a Point of View issue here, then please bear in mind that the POF tag at the top was added because you were removing negative comments, not the other way round. However, I think we'd rather you didn't edit-war over your preferred revision of the page, which violates WP:CSECTION for no good reason (as far as I can see). >>BEANS X2t 06:14, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

@BEANS X2: This page is currently negative because we are repeating negative points about the drama. I am not suggesting we remove the negative points. I am suggesting we avoid repeating them. In some cases, we are mentioning them three times. I have been removing the repetitions. The duplicate remarks I am removing are already covered in their respective sections. The ratings are already in the Ratings section. Why repeat them in the Reception section? Other kdramas don't mention them outside the Ratings section. The production costs are already mentioned in the Production section and at the right side of the page. Please see the pages of other kdramas like Arthdal Chronicles and It's Okay To Not Be Okay. They are not half as negative as this page. Arthdal Chronicles incurred higher production costs. Do you see mention of those production costs in the second paragraph of the page? No, because they are already mentioned at the right side of the page. For The King Eternal Monarch, the production costs are mentioned three times in the page. It's Okay To Not Be Okay has lower ratings than this drama. Do you see those ratings mentioned outside the Ratings section in that drama's page? No. Do you know how many times the ratings are mentioned for The King Eternal Monarch? Three times. This repetition not only makes the page negative, it also makes it sloppy. Kdramas with second paragraphs list their achievements in this paragraph, yet we are repeating negative remarks that are already mentioned in other parts of the page in the second paragraph of this kdrama. My suggested text for the second paragraph follows the form of the second paragraphs of other kdramas - just a listing of their achievement in a straightforward manner. Please see Crash Landing On You and Mr. Sunshine. Lizzydarcy2008 (talk) 03:48, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Continuation of behavior previously reported here (Diff of the close in case it gets archived [183]), CatCafe is now insisting on adding a claim that does not exist in the cited source, a hypothetical claim that I invented to provide a hypothetical example of when it might be appropriate to cite an opinion piece, claiming that I agreed to this despite having done no such thing. Mind, this all occurred after I had already objected to the use of the source in question on the grounds that the author has a conflict of interest with the subject [184]._signed, Rosguill ^talk 22:52, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Rosguill suggested taking any issues to WP:DRN[185], so it's heavy handed bringing it here. I suggest he takes it to WP:DRN if he has problems. It is disappointing that Rosguill uses WP:PLAYPOLICY overly - I am not up to speed on every angle of every policy -but I usually try to use my little knowledge of policy to add to an article not detract. I introduced the sentence "Yasmine Mohammed is an important voice in Canadian discourse" as I felt the source says that after she spoke in Canadian Parl House - It was based on a previous suggestion by Rosguill (so I thought) - and asked him to modify the sentence if he felt it was inaccurate. Now he's reporting me for that? I am trying to retain secondary sources as per the 'prim source' tag requires - that is the main aim of editing the page at present. I have tried to introduce content and sources inline with the rules Rosguill keeps on finding - but he is not willing to work with others constructively in trying to retain secondary sources. He option is now being provocative calling me "daft". Considering that should I just give up? CatCafe (talk) 23:04, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Comments:User:0eaceful has also violated 3rr on the article and warned. I am also requesting page protection for that article - once again. I request 1) an admin warning both users against edit-warring and 2) protecting the page. I don't think a block is necessary. From past experience, people don't stop edit-warring until they are specifically told to stop by an admin.VR _talk 17:55, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

I don't think this constitutes edit warring. I have not violated 3rr, making only 2 reverts per day. Furthermore, I have used the talk page to discuss the issues, and I wasn't planning on making any more edits. The situation appeared to be resolved. Vice regent posted a 3rr template (which, frankly, was a little patronising) on my talk page 40 minutes after my last edit to Rape in Islamic law and started this almost one hour after. I think this whole thing is Vice regent trying to stir something up when, again, I thought the issue was basically resolved. GrammarDamner how are things? 18:03, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

I would like to clarify something. While I had made more than 3 edits within a 24-hour period, they were not simple reverts. The edits were different, reflecting the issues that had been discussed on the article's talk page. The language used in the sources was brought up in discussion, and my edits reflected the necessary changes. GrammarDamner how are things? 18:10, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Each one of your edits cited above restores the exact three same sources and the same sentence (with a slight modification). The dispute is not resolved. I think admin warning (not block) and page protection will allow this to be resolved via discussion not reverting.VR _talk 18:22, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

No issue with the sources had been brought up on the talk page, only the language used. I addressed that. And again, I had backed away. I think you jumped the gun with this unnecessary report. GrammarDamner how are things? 18:27, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

You're constantly restoring the near-exact same edits made by a banned user (not the first time) with a few tweaks (one word changed), without seeking consensus. The claim on the talkpage that you had taken our "valid points" into account is simply not true considering you used the exact same sources that had been criticized as not supporting the statement. Ignoring the issue while trying to be polite isn't resolving anything. 39.37.165.118 (talk) 18:34, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

What were the issues with the sources? I'm sorry if I missed it, I thought the sources were fine, but issues with what they actually said had been pointed out. I addressed those issues. If you and Vice regent want to keep mentioning a banned user, then perhaps I should point out the the changes you two make are very consistent with another banned user, User:Arsi786. GrammarDamner how are things? 18:37, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Is Arsi involved here and are we reverting to his edits? The issues can be discussed on the talkpage as long as you don't jump the gun. 39.37.165.118 (talk) 19:03, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

User:GrammarDamner should be aware that their four edits that are listed at the head of this report are within a 24-hour period, so they break 3RR. They might avoid a block for the 3RR violation if they will agree not to edit the article for a week. Per WP:EW, a revert is anything that undoes other editors' actions, either in whole or in part. EdJohnston (talk) 19:30, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Fine, I agree. I believe that the second two edits had addressed all the concerns that had been brought to the talk page, and to be perfectly honest, I would appreciate it if User:EdJohnston and/or any other admin would take a closer look at the behavior of some of the other editors involved. But I guess at this point I simply have to move on. GrammarDamner how are things? 20:03, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

EdJohnston and GrammarDamner the article is already protected for a week so no one can edit it. I would prefer if GrammarDamner agrees to always follow WP:BRD (even after the article is unblocked). This means if GrammarDamner's edit is reverted they shouldn't revert back until they have discussed the material in detail on the talk page.VR _talk 20:13, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

I agree to follow BRD. I feel that I did follow BRD. 2 issues were brought to the talk page, I addressed both of those issues, and then I put the information in the article. However, I will go even further and ask to see if consensus agrees with a new proposed edit before adding it, unless consensus says that the first edit shouldn't have been reverted in the first place.

According to the block log of this user [202], a long-term blocking may be required.--Александр Мотин (talk) 23:14, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

My edits speak for themselves. Александр Мотин is perpetuating unverifiable Russian sources and propaganda, which I have replaced with WP:RS sources (article history). No other editors are disputing my edits. Zefr (talk) 23:27, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

His block log speaks for itself. In the articles Morinda citrifolia and Phyllanthus he probably also opposed the "Russian propaganda" and... was blocked for edit warring.--Александр Мотин (talk) 23:37, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

I don't believe previous blocks should be admissible here. For comments and edits like these, you should use a reliable source. If one cannot be found, the information does not belong on such a current topic like a potential COVID vaccine (regardless of its effectiveness.) WhoAteMyButter (📬│✏️) 03:51, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

To be objective, the non-MEDRS sources were used for non-medical claims, and 4 reverts did happen. It is another matter that the content inserted by Мотин and removed by Zefr (like here) was included without consensus or approval by any other contributors on the page. This complaint also looks like "gaming the rules" by Мотин. My very best wishes (talk) 04:45, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

• For the moment, the edit war seems to have temporarily stopped, so let me try this, @Zefr and Александр Мотин: from my perspective, you are both edit warring. I could block both of you, but I hope this can be resolved in an adult manner. Please, take your disagreement to the talk page and try to find consensus on a possible wording. If you can't reach a compromise, you can try other forms of dispute resolution. Is that an acceptable way forward for both? Salvio 08:55, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

  ANI request (11/08/2020): When he or someone reports then there is only one guilty party (me) and when I report – "you are both edit warring" and "this complaint also looks like "gaming the rules"? Interesting... --Александр Мотин (talk) 09:37, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

  Sure, dispute resolution is a good idea but this does not cancel the violation by Zefr. Especially here, at least, opinions were expressed indicating signs of disruptive editing from his side.--Александр Мотин (talk) 09:50, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

  Look, Александр, speaking as someone totally uninvolved, my impression is that the two of you are in the middle of a content dispute and are basically talking at each other by now. That is why I suggested DR. Discuss the issue on the talk page and, if that doesn't work, involve other people, either through WP:DRN or an WP:RFC. That, in my view, is the proper way forward. In addition to that, blocks are not meant to be retributive, they are not punitive, but rather preventative. So, if disruption has stopped, a block is no longer necessary or appropriate. In this case, I hope that the situation can be solved without resorting to the use of my tools. Salvio 10:16, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

  That's right, and 3RR rule is intended for this case. When they filed a 3RR request against me, this was interpreted as a violation despite the fact that I deleted openly boorish attacks against the President of one of the countries of the world (Talk:Gam-COVID-Vac#"Guinea pig"). UPD: I got it mixed up with this: Talk:Gam-COVID-Vac#General sanctions. But a "Guinea pig" case is also very revealing. They demand strong MEDRS for Putin's qoute and just simply put qoutes into the article about "foolish Russian Government", "Guinea pig" and "I feel shame for our country" without MEDRS. Is it normal? --Александр Мотин (talk) 11:32, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

  That is a content dispute. I am not saying that either of you are right or wrong on the merits, I haven't familiarised myself with the underlying topic enough to form a well-thought-out opinion. However, none of the edits (yours or his) appear problematic enough to constitute exceptions to edit warring. Salvio 16:14, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

  @Salvio giuliano: You're right about the edit warring, but I'm not convinced this is a situation that can be resolved "like adults". This is apparently an intractable dispute between these two editors that was previously at AN/I. It was most recently resolved by Александр Мотин taking a break from the article, but now his break is up and the conflict has resumed. Zefr seems to have a fervent, passionate belief that this vaccine is not scientifically valid, to the degree that Wikipedia should suppress any notion of even discussing it as a real vaccine. This had led to edit warring, personal attacks, stonewalling innocent edits mentioning the vaccine, and an obsession with calling everything propaganda. I have previously tried to reason with him at AN/I and he was so fixated on his views that he came across as completely impossible to reason with, and I was inclined to block him for his behavior. Александр Мотин, the article's creator, is hardly innocent either, having posted dubious claims sourced to the Russian government without including the widespread disputations from the scientific community and edit warring. Both users have called for the block of the other. At this point, I don't even think a block would be useful, we're probably in DS territory. I think the obvious solution is a TBAN of both users from the subject of this vaccine. At the very least, a 1RR page restriction. ~Swarm~ ^{sting} 06:48, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

  @Swarm: thanks for the heads up. You seem to be much more familiar with this situation than I am, so I will defer to your judgment, but, yes, in the light of the pattern you describe, topic banning both under the Covid-19 GS may be appropriate. Do you know if they were made aware of the sanctions? Salvio 10:27, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

  Sigh, probably not. I didn't recall awareness criteria applying to general sanctions. ~Swarm~ ^{sting} 13:42, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

  As far as I know, GS are basically the same thing as DS, the only difference is that they are authorised by the community rather than ArbCom and, so, an alert is required, prior to the imposition of any sanction. The template is: {{subst:Gs/alert|topic=covid}}. Salvio 13:51, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

  @Swarm: I have just warned both users. Александр, however, seems to be aware of discretionary sanctions under WP:ARBEE and, so, can already be sanctioned under those. Salvio 14:33, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

• Alright. Looks like there is no currently active edit war at this time, so going to close this with a warning. Both Zefr and Александр Мотин are warned that there will be no more tolerance for disruption in an article which is protected by both Arbcom-imposed and community-imposed discretionary sanctions. This includes, but is not limited to, personal attacks, aspersions, edit warring, addition of unsourced content, contentious removal of sourced content without a policy justification, or baiting the other party into committing an offense. If we see any more disruptive behavior, both parties will be subject to editing restrictions and/or topic banning without further warning. ~Swarm~ ^{sting} 03:26, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Comments:
This editor appears to have taken grave offense to one of my sources (their comment on the talk page post they made after their first revert was "not Baugher again"), accusing me of repeating a false claim that Bell's XP-59B influenced Lockheed's P-80 fighter aircraft. I have replied to them on the talk page stating that I relied on multiple sources for this section of the article, and even provided more in my post. I also checked the only one of the sources they provided I was able to find online, which did not deny the claim and even confirmed a section of my edits this editor saw fit to remove.

I then asked them to provide more explicit sources for the claim that the XP-59B had no influence on the P-80. Instead this editor has chosen to revert my edits within minutes of me making them, asserting unspecified "problems". I'm more than willing to examine sources, compare their credibility, and find consensus on the talk page but continually reverting my edits without justification is simply unproductive.

Edit warring, constantly added primary sources to a controversial article and not willing to read the guidelines they were pointed to. GSS ^💬 17:21, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

The protection log for this article is very long. The party reported above is a new account that has only been here two weeks, and may not yet be familiar with our sourcing standards. I would consider WP:ECP which could be imposed under WP:ARBIPA if necessary. EdJohnston (talk) 18:43, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

I mean looking at the content, the user is trying to discuss on the talk page, and OP here is stonewalling their edits. They're somewhat dubiously claiming that a book is not a reliable source without an explanation, and also claiming that it is a primary source, which doesn't even appear to be true. I don't see them making any case to support these claims, but when another user suggest they take it to RSN, they refused, falsely claiming that they had already refuted the source, even though I can't even figure out what their objection to the source is. ~Swarm~ ^{sting} 03:39, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

@Swarm:, I'm not stonewalling their edits nor I'm dubiously claiming anything. Books published by involved parties and organizations are always primary and we can't use them for controversial articles such as this one. GSS ^💬 04:27, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Also, I'm not sure if you saw my comment on the talk page regarding the book "Reduced to Ashes", the book is a collection of account from the involved people and survivors so it could only be used as a source if that survivor's quote is needed not for facts or claims. GSS ^💬 04:32, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

The book contains witness testimony, it is not only a collection of witness testimony. The authors themselves are not primary sources and record their own claims, interpretations, and conclusions in the book. It is, by definition, a secondary source, with the exception of the primary sources recorded within it, and even still, there's nothing wrong with using primary sources to begin with. If a primary source is being used to cite a contentious fact, that's a minor fix, just a few extra words to attribute the claim to the source. You don't edit war and stonewall good faith edits. Also, it's absolutely dubious to claim that it's unreliable, you have not substantiated your claim that the organization is biased, and you refuse to make such a case in order to seek a consensus at RSN. You can't just unilaterally declare sources to be unreliable, and you should know this by now. So, yes, from an uninvolved perspective, you're hardly innocent. ~Swarm~ ^{sting} 04:41, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

I'm not an involved party but noticed this discussion, and would like to throw in my two cents. This M.O. is sort of typical of GSS at this point. He reverts edits quickly, then projects onto his opponent what he is doing (edit warring) and often subsequently calls for bans and article locks, but getting him to address counterpoints is impossible; he calls for discussion then barely participates in good-faith discussion, and never further substantiates claims. It's all one big stalling strategy.

The same thing happened during the editing process at Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, where in the face of overwhelming consensus (four editors in support of changes, plus a reasonable admin helping out), he has singlehandedly managed to stall the process for four months now (since April). (The admin helping with the process, Abecedare, appears to be on a sort of hiatus, so we informally sort of agreed to hold off on edits, until he returns and can continue his help.) So yes, stonewalling is essentially all GSS does.

Dragging people to this very noticeboard instead of engaging in discussion is also another strategy to bypass said discussion by trying to get people banned instead on having to collaborate with them. An instance of GSS doing the same thing with another user (and it nearly backfiring then as well). @JoyceGW1: if you would like to chime in here regarding that....

Another quick note is that both the JSB and Blue Star articles make extensive use of actual primary sources on the government side, which GSS doesn't have a problem with, so "primary" has nothing to do with any of this, this is all just WP:IDLI. Sapedder (talk) 23:51, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Here you go so you are finally here. FYI the edits I and Abecedare reverted on Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale had multiple issues and you and others were explained by both of us (see the talk page). GSS ^💬 03:28, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Happy to see me? :) Let's get one thing straight, Abecedare held all the constructive discourse, was civil throughout, and helped enormously to improve the edits, you just tried to retroactively justify your reversions by parroting what he said. You made no salient points of your own, so don't claim joint credit for his hard work. You contributed nothing of value before he started to help. Again, leave the evaluation of sources to those who have a clue what they're talking about. Sapedder (talk) 04:04, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Oh yes happy but not surprised ;)

Ankhi88 reverted again despite they were warned and asked not to edit war (diff). GSS ^💬 04:12, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

In regards to your reason to revert his edits (that you don't like his source), as others have said, you cannot make this declaration unilaterally, and so far three editors disagree with your characterization of the source. So your grounds to revert are as of yet baseless. You should focus on the removal of the actual primary sources in the article with the POV you like and which you are ignoring, if you have integrity and actually care about this issue. Sapedder (talk) 04:22, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

@Sapedder, you need to stop personal attacks on me as you did at Talk:Operation Blue Star. GSS ^💬 04:39, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Don't mischaracterize things further, they simply recall past tactics. Immediately accusing others of having "undisclosed interests," being part of some conspiracy, and other wild statements are recurring themes with you and contravene WP:AGF. Sapedder (talk) 04:46, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Got pinged. On the specific issue at hand, I do not think I have anything to add beyond what user @Swarm: has stated above in their posts. I hesitate to say much more but sigh ... it is unfortunate to see GSS again running to this board, acting all-innocent and trying to paint a lopsided/conspiratorial view of the actual dispute. Has happened before and here we are again. They seem to have a prolific contribution record to Wikipedia but surely that does not give them a license to engage in such tactics. It is rather fortunate that user Swarm took the time to dissect the dispute here but what if that was not the case and a new user like Ankhi88 just gets bulldozed over.

I am not involved in the edit warring and have not entered into the discussion, but Gunner555 has reverted this article 5 times!! The last time being a recent addition by user:Qahramani44. A look at Gunner555's talk page would indicate I have warned them 2 previous times, once for edit warring and once for personal attacks. Given the 80+ edits made by Gunner555 and their continued disruptive behavior, I do not believe this editor is here to build an encyclopedia. --Kansas Bear (talk) 20:00, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

I don't understand the approach by Kansas Bear on Edit War and Reverting. Any ill-intentioned person can revert or re-revert someone's edits. I am being against those who disrespect adding alternative thoughts and resources to articles. There is not such requirement that Sources MUST BE from Britannica or Cambridge or Harvard. This view is totally absurd. Disregard towards other authors must be stopped! There is attack by "more experienced/rated users" on less known ones and am being one of the latter Gunner555 (talk) 20:04, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

You're adding a book written by a guy with no notability or even credentials [228]. Who is this "Sanan Azer", what degree does he have in history, are his claims being supported by any other historian or encyclopedia? If you're going to completely disregard the concept of reliable sources and insert random fringe claims with no evidence backing them then of course you'll get reverted. Unless of course you think some random turk on the street is as significant as Harvard or Cambridge University, after all you've already claimed those institutions are "bought off by Persians". -- Qahramani44 (talk) 20:18, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
