Abbatai reported by Marshal Bagramyan (result: 24h)[edit]

  • Previous version reverted to: [1]

This user has consistently failed to provide reliable sources to support his claims which have surpassed the borders of simple vandalism. Despite numerous attempts to settle the issues on the talk page, the user combatively taunted others and broke into a tirade accusing all those reverting him of "spreading Anti-Turkish propaganda" and has begun to turn Wikipedia into a battleground broken by ethnic lines [6]. In either case, he is inserting information which is propagandist in nature and seeks to fudge the truth on the Armenian Genocide. His disruptive edits have spread to other pages, as a quick check on his contributions will show.--Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 16:38, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

He has now violated 3RR on other pages as well and continues reverting on Igdir.-- Ευπάτωρ Talk!! 19:59, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

I, among a couple other editors have tried to clean this article up, removing unencyclopdic content such as a complete listing of the menu, and what kind of music the restaurant plays, etc... the IP reverts anyone that tries to change the article at all... I have tried discussing the changes with the user, asking why they think a complete menu listing is notable or encyclopedic, I even suggested that they file a RfC... all they do is revert the changes saying that it is only opinion... They revert to a diff previous of other changes made to clean the article up also, with no apparent intentions to discuss this... I gave a 3RR warning, and asked that they discuss the changes on the article's talk page... they reverted the changes again, without any discussion... made a comment that the menu needs to be part of the article so that people know what each of the menu items is... considering that I have already given 3RR (and am on the verge of 3RR myself), I thought I would bring it here... - Adolphus79 (talk) 01:45, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

User:Offliner reported by User:Cmp7 (stale?)[edit]

User:Offliner has repeatedly and maliciously added, removed, disrupted, and falsely edited Guerrilla phase of the Second Chechen War (2009) to suit his personal agenda before anyone could even come to a consensus on the question of keeping or deleting the article. Offliner has rejected any consensus or right to free speech on Wikipedia and is alienating peoples rights as contributors to Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cmp7 (talk • contribs) 00:29, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

I should point out that cmp7 removed the proposed deletion template from the page before the issue was settled by an admin, and has already been issued a final warning regarding his disruptive editing. Regarding Offliner, nothing he did could be considered vandalism. He explained his edit both in the proposed deletion discussion, and in the edit summary, and I agree with him.

Of which edit war, once more, Fut. Perf. is a major party [55]. I have flagged his persistent edit warring in his previous report about FDAU [56], however he didn't seem to change his behaviour. It is obvious Future Perfect at Sunrise editing behaviour in the article Greece clearly constitutes edit warring, as defined in WP:EDITWAR: "For instance, edit warring could take the form of 4+ reverts on a page in a day, or three, or one per day for a protracted period of time, or one per page across many pages, or simply a pattern of isolated blind reverts as a first resort against disagreeable edits."--Avg (talk) 11:12, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Actually, on further consideration, I'm more and more convinced that this account is a sock of banned user User:Mywayyy anyway.

Fut.Perf. ☼ 11:41, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
I concur; this is clearly a Mywayyy sockpuppet. Well spotted - might I suggest a checkuser on that account to see if there are any other socks lurking on that IP range? (You'll recall how Mywayyy used an entire farm of socks; I wouldn't be surprised to find that he's up to the same thing this time.) I agree with Fut. Perf's recommendation for an indefinite block. -- ChrisO (talk) 11:49, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

A bit more background information in case it is helpful. User Hauskalainen keeps adding an extensive list of UK laws restricting firearms, knives, etc. The content was discussed on the talk page March 14 - 20, and then the content was removed with the consensus that it belonged in other articles like Firearm laws in the United Kingdom, etc.
Since that removal, Hauskalainen has reverted the removal (re-added the material) twice on March 20, and then the three four times listed above.[65][66]

User has multiple previous blocks for EU-related revert warring. Fut.Perf. ☼ 10:38, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Discussion[edit]

Lear 21 has not been part of edit warring according to Wikipedia policy. Lear 21 has uphold content from an FA article (Germany) which was established for half a year by now. User Lear 21 has properly argued at talk pages to uphold the content consisting of two images. At the talk pages 2 users expressed their critic of the 2 images and 2 users signalized support, one the supporters were Lear 21. User Future Perfect at Sunrise on the other hand has been not part of any discussion concerning the removal of content of the respective article (Germany). User Future Perfect at Sunrise has been reminded by Lear 21 [73] that his deletion actions at the Germany article are undiscussed but refused to take part of any discussions nevertheless. At the very moment the procedure of Future Perfect at Sunrise actions including this report here tends to be rather abusive while at the same time ignoring several Wikipedia guidelines. Lear 21 (talk) 11:06, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Lear 21 has been reverting edits for which there is a wide consensus with strong arguments against those images on the talkpage of the article in question. There are at least 2 sections about this topic on article talk and several more on various user talk pages. --Tone 12:54, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Discussion[edit]

Hello, I would like to ask for administrator intervention in this ongoing edit war. I have provided information to this user (Unionsoap) regarding the subject of this page, and it continually is being reverted to a version which uses only unverified and unsubstantiated sources (such as wordpress weblogs, blogspot weblogs, personal Web sites, and press release style information.) In addition, the only verified notability that this individual has is as the author of two books, and the version which I (and another administrator) revert to includes only that information. In addition, some areas of this (brief) entry are just plain wrong; this individual was never a model (as the public directories and agencies lack an entry for her) and her place of origin (San Francisco South Bay) is not an actual place. I think this must be some sort of fan but I don't think Wiki is a fan site.

May I ask that the version that excludes the weblog (unverified) information be re-instated, which was the version by the administrator, and that the version be "locked" against future edits? Perhaps this could all just sort of die down if it were locked on a version that includes only verified information.

May I also ask that this article be considered for deletion? Other than the books, which were published by a vanity press, this person's only claim to fame appears to be as the girlfriend of a German princeling.

Bosonic dressing reported by Anon (no action)[edit]

I previously made a suggestion to User:The Ogre regarding the Latin America page, and they gave their support for it. It was put into the article, but then User:Bosonic dressing reverted, again, and again, and again, and again. In this edit, the user claimed they would continue to edit war until they had "agreed" to the edits. I agree that I am one edit over the limit, but this user has reverted 5 times, and I have stopped reverting, and instead took it here.

A look at his talk page before he last blanked it reveals no less than 5 previous warnings for various things, yet going back further one can see even more that have been blanked [107] [108] [109] [110].

It appears that all in all this user's stay here on wikipedia has been far from non-disruptive, and a break may be neccessary to give them time to learn the rules. 84.13.199.38 (talk) 15:47, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm an involved admin, who [warned the user after their second revert that they'd be blocked for disruption by re-adding the NPOV text and for violation of 3RR if they reverted again, which they did. They're not new, and have previous incivility issues, plus I gave a clear warning. I'm reporting it here so that a neutral party can do the block rather than me. Cheers.

Comment from the IP: "So now you are crying like a baby to the mods. Very pathetic." Geoff B (talk) 21:36, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

I ran into this edit war between User:97.106.54.153 and User:Geoff B) while on Recent Change Patrol and warned both parties. Pretty much it involves the wording of a single sentence: "Wesker escapes the Mansion's self-destruction, where Lisa is killed." vs "Wesker kills Lisa and escapes the Mansion's self-destruction." Much bad-mouthing involved on the part of User:97.106.54.153, who was belligerant in both his edit summaries and on the user talk pages when other party (User:Geoff B) attempted conversation. Am otherwise uninvolved. --Mukk 21:34, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

The only person edit warring here is Ronz as can be evidenced by looking at the history of the Pizzle page! He has made 14 edits to the page in the last 2 days! Could someone please warn or block him? It appears on his talk page that he is also engaging in edit warring on other pages in Wiki as well.

User:Jamesworthy/User:123.2.149.117 reported by User:Betty Logan (Result: 24 hours)[edit]

  • Previous version reverted to: [151]

The Quinten Hann article has seen large portions of referenced text removed and replaced with unreferenced text. This has occurrred all through March: [158]. The edits were originally carried out by User:Davidmorris666 whose edits are solely limited to the article. After breaking the 3RR on several occasions and being warned, the exact samed edits continued being made by an anonymous user User:123.2.149.117. After warning the anonymous user today, the anonymous user 'stopped' editing and User:Jamesworthy started making the exact same edits. The edits Jamesworthy has made are also limited to the Quinten Hann article and I am positive they are the same person, so am reporting them cumulatively as a 3RR violation. I have tried to negotiate with this person on the talk page but he insists the information is 'wrong' despite the references, and has offered no alternative references to validate his claims. He simply changes the information and excises large chunks of it. I've run out of reverts now so I would appreciate it if the information was restored and the user dealt with. Thanks.

Annoynmous reported by Tundrabuggy (Result: 24 hours)[edit]

  • Previous version reverted to: [159]
  • Keeps re-adding two removed quotes, one by Zangwill "Palestine proper had already its inhabitants. The pashalik [province] of Jerusalem is already twice as thickly populated as the United States, having fifty-two souls to the square mile, and not 25 percent of them Jews." and one by Weizmann "The British told us that there are some hundred thousand negroes [kushim in Hebrew] and for those there is no value". Annoynmous is not a new editor, he has been editing for over two years, and has been blocked for 3RR violation 4 times before. His talk page is full of warnings from just this month about edit-warring on this article. Tundrabuggy (talk) 16:53, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Discussion[edit]

First off I did not revert more than three times. After I reverted the first time I restructered the article some more and tried to satisfy the other editors demands. The last time I added back the information and made some more changes. We have settled those disputes and I agreed that certain quotes were innapropriate at this time and removed them.
Plus all the warnings on my talk page were part of attempts by other editors to bully me into going away. Several times the editors falsely accussed me of violating the 3rr when I hadn't.
Anyway, it doesn't matter, whe have settled the dispute. annoynmous 17:17, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
I would also like to say that I was trying to make some edits at the same time as hertz. This ended up in an edit conflict. I didn't technically revert him. I simply re-added the material, although in different parts of the page.
This specific issue with the article is resolved. I'm willing to except a 24 hour block even though I don't feel what I did was technically a revert. annoynmous 18:47, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
Actually, the dispute is not "resolved" - you've just out-reverted everyone else. Tundrabuggy (talk) 19:46, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
Yes it is. The dispute was not just over the Zangwill and Weizmann quotes. There were several quotes in the article by the author Amos oz which I agreed were innapropriate for the article right now, but the Zangwill and Weizmann quotes are relevant to it. I removed the Oz quotes and kept the others. No one else from the talk page has disputed it. You weren't involved on the talk page so who are you to say the dispute isn't resolved. annoynmous 20:01, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
I would also like to say that currently I am in dipsute with and editor named Historicist that is seperate from this dispute. It started after the other conflict was resolved. It was over the wording of a quote. Sense that dispute has begun I have made 3 reverts only. annoynmous 21:24, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
User:annoynmous has been edit warring on this article for weeks and seems bent on being disruptive and annoying. I'd support a lengthier block than 24 hours because of prior history and that this may be under Wikipedia:ARBPIA#Discretionary sanctions. DVD 23:25, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

User:Annoynmous is up to his seventh revert now. Jayjg (talk) 23:48, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Just because DVD doesn't like me is not sufficient reason to block me. The dispute he's referring to is over. I conceded the point of tags at the top of the article weeks ago. I am currently satisfied with the page as it is. After this I plan on taking a long break from editing. annoynmous 23:51, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
Those last 3 reverts were not about the same topic as the one above. They are about a dispute with Historicist about how to word a quote. annoynmous 23:56, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Discussion[edit]

Pardon me, but two things are glaringly obvious: 1) only threetwo edits occurred within the 24-hour period (and the four are over a three day period); 2) the 'warning' was tendered many hours after the third edit; and, 3) this user has been actively involved in an edit-war in that article, having just finished a block for edit-warring less than a week ago. There is a discussion at AN/I regarding a particularly bad set of actions by another editor in this matter. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 19:29, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

The number of reverts, as well the time they spanned are not set in stone; you cannot hide behind the rules. It is the intent of 3RR that matters and it is clear the intent was quite disruptive. Arcayne removed information, I reverted; that is the time Arcayne should have stopped, which he ddidn't. He has been reverted by me and another editor. — Edokter • Talk • 22:10, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
I was not actively involved in an edit-war in that manner. After filing this report, a short time later someone erased the information again, so I reverted it. That is the only time I have edited that article at all. The edit war problem I had was when I reverted a vandal from erasing Rescue tags, but some didn't consider that vandalism so a short block was done. That has nothing to do with this article, or anyone involved in it. And I didn't notice it wasn't within a 24 hour period. So as long as you only erase the same exact information from the article, once or twice a day, you are safe from the rules. Dream Focus 22:22, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Result[edit]

  • No action. The technical 3RR has not been violated here; and it takes more than one to edit war. I also note four reversions by User:Edokter of Arcayne's edits in the recent history (and he has also been reverted by more than one editor); if a sanction was to be applied on one it would have to be applied on both, and I do not see that as productive. Both editors may take this as a warning not to continue this course of action. Furthermore, I am watchlisting the page and will fully protect it if this edit-war, which now includes more editors, continues. Black Kite 22:24, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

User:Berig reported by User:Spinach Monster (Result: 12 hours for reporter)[edit]

On Cimbrian language. Began with incivility on my page, he escalated it with canvassing tactics. Trying to talk to this user has proven to be a waste of time, the arrogance is palpable. His edits go against facts found in Cimbri, Sulla and at least half a dozen other articles from the late Roman Republic.

If he continues, I will have to start an RFC. He's committed 3RR today. Here are the diffs.

I'm just reverting OR by Spinach Monster, who clearly has misunderstood the 3RR rule.--Berig (talk) 15:34, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
I have informed Berig. Also please note that such behavior is not appropriate from any user, let alone an administrator, which Berig happens to be. Spinach Monster (talk) 15:35, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
OR and vandalism must be reverted on sight, SP.--Berig (talk) 15:36, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
Berig's understanding of original research is as incorrect as his understanding of 3RR considering the amount of articles that disagree with his opinion. I am putting a disputed tag on the article now due to the intransigence here. I will start the RFC the next time I get a chance. If an admin could please assist in restraining Berig until then. Spinach Monster (talk) 15:38, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
Spinach Monster, let me get this straight, Berig reverts you three times, you revert three times, and you're expecting us to block Berig or something? Please use the talk page and don't use this board to forum shop. And Berig, I know it was probably a mistake, but using rollback like this sets a bad example. Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 15:40, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
Yes, you're right Deacon. I should have used the undo function and left a message in the edit summary (as I did the last time I reverted him).--Berig (talk) 15:43, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Malik Shabazz reported by CENSEI (Result: no vios)[edit]

  • Previous version reverted to: [172]
  • First revert: [173]
  • Second revert: [174]
  • Third revert: [175]
  • Fourth revert: [176] user did self revert on this
  • Fifth revert:[177] user self reverted on this as well
  • Diff of WP:3RR warning: [178]

Tried to adequately source a criticism of Jewish Voice for Peace and Malik Shabazz edit warred to keep it out. Even when sourced to an undeniable reliable source, Commentary Magazine, user continued to edit war to keep another critical comment out of the article. Although in violation of 3RR, I don’t think that Malik Shabazz should be blocked. He should, however be warned for his edit warring and his initial refusal to even discuss his edits on the talk page. He has now taken to edit warring to Joshua Muravchik where he is attempting to reinsert an unsourced statement, something he must know is a WP:BLP violation.

Edit summaries like this are typical of his personal insults and tendentiousness. CENSEI (talk) 03:14, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Insulting how? By telling you where the information is found? Grsz11 03:21, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
Insulting by the way he used "duh". Come on, we are supposed to adhere to a higher standard of civility, right? And to be uncivil in that particular context, during an onslaught of CENSEI's improper non-neutral POV pushing, it's downright wrong. If they come across so rudely again, why shouldn't they be blocked? I've seen users who were blocked for less rudeness than that, even if they weren't edit-warring. uncivil rudeness + editwar nonneutrality = adding insult to injury. ~Teledildonix314~Talk~4-1-1~ 21:02, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

There have been only three reverts at Jewish Voice for Peace, and there is most certainly a source at the end of the sentence at Joshua_Muravchik. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 03:17, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

There have been 7 reverts, two of these were you reverting yourself when you realized you crossed the 3RR boundary, but regardless you are still edit warring, and I have asked you several times on the talk page to cease and desist. CENSEI (talk) 03:22, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
Maybe you need to spend a little more time reading Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. A series of consecutive saved revert edits by one user with no intervening edits by another user counts as one revert. ... Since reverting in this context means undoing the actions of another editor or editors, reverting your own actions ("self-reverting") will not breach the rule. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 03:26, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
This is more game playing tendentiousness by Censei. He should be ashamed. He knows better. He just chooses to spend all his time here being disruptive. He endlesley inserts unreliable sources (while removing such from articles he likes) to goad people into going "over" their limits (not clear to me if malik did or didn't, and don't care).Bali ultimate (talk) 03:30, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Of the five diffs cited, only the first three are actual reverts. The next two were quickly self-reverted by Malik Shabazz.[179][180] Further, the first two out of three were BLP reverts, even if not stated as such. As far as I can tell CENSEI is the primary party edit warring here to insert poorly sourced POV content.

Discussion[edit]

I removed unsourced and badly sourced examples from this list, in line with the discussion that has been ongoing there and the article's intro. Rracecarr has reinserted them repeatedly, despite general agreement in the discussion that only well-sourced examples would be kept. I am not looking for an edit war at all here - in the 'Seasons' examples above, I discussed it with another user on the talk page and we came to an agreement about sources. I didn't realise I had edited the same article so often - since RRacecarr posted on my talk page, I haven't edited the article. --hippo43 (talk) 06:37, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Sifilis122 reported by The Ogre (Result: Both parties blocked, 24 and 12 hours respectively)[edit]





















This user seems to have a strong POV agenda that makes him edit war in a diversity of articles, as can be seen above. His mais objective is to change, against consensus, the references to Iberia and Hispania to the modern country of Spain, ignoring that those geographical and historical realities, that comprehend not just the modern territory of Spain, but also of Portugal, can not be equated with the modern reality of that specific country. It would be the same as just calling England to Great Britain. He also tries to change references in Portuguese language to Spanish ones. Furthermore, he tries to change the complexity of the procees leading to and subsequent to the Iberian Union as a simple domination of Portugal by Spain. He also rapidlly acuses other users (such as XPTO, who he seem to be harassing, and myself) of vandalism and chauvinism, and as comited some sort of vandalism in my user page by his abuse of warning templates (he has done a wholesale removal of warnings from his talk page and placed them on mine: see 1 and 2).

Allstarecho reported by CENSEI| (RESULT: 72 hours)[edit]

  • Previous version reverted to: [190]

Allstarecho has made 5 reverts in exactly 28 hours and none of them were accompanied by any comments on the talk page explaining or justifying inclusion or exclusion of the content until I did so prior to my first edit. CENSEI (talk) 20:15, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Discussion[edit]

Talk about lieing. My comments are plainly visible on the talk page as well as in my edit summaries. The fact is, CENSEI and User:Ejnogarb are hell bent on whitewashing the article by removing valid sourced content. They should reach a consensus on the talk page BEFORE removing valid, SOURCED content. They are 2 conservative editors who are trying to remove content pertaining to a study which shows gay people and straight people have pretty much the same amounts of promiscuity. Censoring content is vandalism and reverting vandalism is not edit-warring. Myself and other editors have reverted these changes but these 2 editors want to remove the content and THEN discuss it on the talk page? How about discussing it on the talk page first to come to a consensus and then if the consensus is to remove it, remove it. If anyone has been "edit warring", it would be those 2 editors, especially Ejnogarb who has 4 reverts in 24 hours. I would also point out that these 2 editors are working in tandem based on this edit. Additionally, Ejnogarb and I were already dealing with this issue today until CENSEI came along to disrupt it all over again.- ✰ALLST☆R✰ echo 20:21, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

This is not about content, which by reviewing the talk page you are completely wrong about, but is about your editing behavior. CENSEI (talk) 20:25, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
My edit behavior? It's apparent you 2 have an agenda so it's really more about your own editing behavior. - ✰ALLST☆R✰ echo 20:28, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
In my not-so-humble opinion, CENSEI and Enjongarb have been blatantly pointy-- and no less than four other editors have felt the need to undo non-neutral edits performed on articles which had been improperly modified in the past few days. I don't mind having their POV all over the Talk Pages because i think it's very useful for them to collaborate openly, but i am rather distressed by the way their POV efforts seem to be showing up in the main Article spaces particularly on topics related to men who have sex with men, promiscuity, and LGBT issues.... without being discussed openly first. The issue of collusion is secondary, the issue of non-neutrality is primary. Thanks ~Teledildonix314~Talk~4-1-1~ 20:45, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
CENSEI, Allstarecho made only three reverts in 24 hours. And you are edit warring on the same article. Pot, meet kettle. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 20:43, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Malik, as you well know (with your own recent edit warring) 3RR is an electric fence, not a God given right. Its the behavior associated with the Rv's as well as their frequency, Allstarecho had 5 in less than 30 hours indicating a certain degree of Tenditiousness that is the issue. My 2 Rv's are hardly an indication of edit warring, unless the standards have been rewritten. CENSEI (talk) 20:48, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
From the very Tenditious page you linked to:
Tendentious editing is editing which is partisan, biased or skewed taken as a whole. It does not conform to the neutral point of view, and fails to do so at a level more general than an isolated comment that was badly thought out. On Wikipedia, the term also carries the connotation of repetitive attempts to insert or delete content which is resisted by multiple other editors.
Ejnogarb and your edits have been resisted by other editors and yet, you all keep insisting. Hello again pot, meet kettle again. - ✰ALLST☆R✰ echo 20:53, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
As you should know—look higher up this page at #Malik Shabazz reported by CENSEI (Result: no vios)—your two reverts are edit-warring. So sorry, but thanks for playing. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 20:50, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Back2back2back reported by Robert Stevens (RESULT: 12 hours)[edit]

  • Previous version reverted to: [197]

Article contained factually incorrect information, apparently a distortion of the history of Tyre in order to provide a better fit to a Biblical prophecy alleging the city's permanent destruction (the city still exists). Faced with the choice of providing counter-apologetics or simply deleting the inaccurate information, I chose deletion (though I'm prepared to provide counter-apologetics, I feel that this would break the flow of the article, which is apparently an overview of claimed Bible prophecies). On the talkpage discussion, User Back2back2back refuses to admit that the information is inaccurate, refuses to check references available on the Tyre (Lebanon) article as requested, and insists (without justification) that the information I removed is "historically accurate".

Actual paragraph reads:

"The island city was destroyed by Alexander the Great during the Siege of Tyre and its residents were enslaved. Alexander used the debris from the destroyed mainland city to build a causeway to the island city. The Phoenicians never rebuilt Tyre. Numerous other empires and countries have rebuilt the city at or near the site of the original only to have them destroyed. The fishing village of Sur is now located at the original site of Tyre."

...But most of this is simply false (Alexander did not "destroy" Tyre when he conquered it, he didn't enslave ALL the residents, the city recovered and was rebuilt, it has since enjoyed many centuries of prosperity, and it still exists today: and "Sur" is simply the Phoenician name for the city the Greeks called "Tyre"). Also, there is no mention of Alexander in the prophecy anyhow, it's about Nebuchadnezzar's earlier attack on TYre, and only Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians are mentioned by name, not Alexander or the Greeks: so this is irrelevant except as an attempt at misdirection.

All of this has been explained. Back2back2back doesn't care.

To see why the first one is a revert: observe the reinsertion of the words "the prospective Finnish Islamic Party represented by..." To see why the second one is a revert: observe the readdition of the words "one time Neo-Nazi" - the same was done in the first revert. Offliner (talk) 21:01, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

To see why number three is a revert: notice the readdition of the words "The committee has been noted for its anti-Estonian sentiment and neo-Stalinist viewpoint.": [208]. The same was done in the first and the fourth revert. To make this more clear: here's the series of edits before Martintg's third revert: [209] note the addition of "Estonian journalist Heiki Suurkask has accused the committee of anti-Estonian sentiment" This piece of text is removed and replaced with ""The committee has been noted for its anti-Estonian sentiment and neo-Stalinist viewpoint." in Martintg's third revert: [210] Offliner (talk) 21:03, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

One should take into account, that these are not isolated incidents, but only part of a steady stream of edit warring on Martintg's part. Here, for example, Martintg makes 3 reverts within 24 hours on International recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, (wisely) stopping just short of breaking 3RR: [220][221][222].

These words are removed by Colchicum in his fourth revert: [237]. As for number five, it seems I was mistaken: that one is indeed not a revert. Offliner (talk) 20:32, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

You should be really desperate... I am so sorry for you. In the fourth edit a duplicated paragraph is removed, here is it, if you don't see: 

Bäckman has noted Russian youth hates Estonia and Latvia and will act accordingly 
when the Nashi comes to power in Russia, leading to end
of the Estonian statehood shortly afterwards[1]
He speculated that most of the Russian youth all over Russia, including children, hated 
Estonia and denied it the right to exist. Bäckman went on to predict that in ten years 
at most, the Nashi comes to power in Russia, leading to end 
of the Estonian statehood shortly afterwards.[1]

  • Previous version reverted to: [257]


  • Diff of 3RR warning: [261]


The second of the three contentious edits here is from an IP address, not from Parvazbato59. But it shows the same idiosyncratic wording. I do not think Parvazbato59 was trying to obfuscate their identity, merely that they forgot to log in.

This is my first 3RR report in my four plus years of contributing to the wikipedia. It is not clear to me whether I could have reverted their edit one more time, or even multiple times. I had pointed out to them, on Talk:Shahzada, the guideline for disambiguation pages recommends the wikilinks on disambiguation pages not be piped. So, could I have reverted it on the grounds that ignoring policies and guidelines constitutes vandalism?

Background: Parvazbato59 nominated a recent version of the Shahzada page for deletion, and has objected to me trying to restore the version of the page that was a disambiguation page. Geo Swan (talk) 17:33, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Colchicum reported by Russavia (Result: no vio)[edit]


  • Previous version reverted to: [262]



  • Diff of 3RR warning: [266]

In addition to this report, Colchicum posted this to Digwuren's talk page, possibly (??) in a WP:TEAM type of way in order to get around 3RR, and Digwuren too has removed sourced information. Additionally Digwuren has stated at [267] that it is basically ok to remove sourced information, and to insert unsourced information, and that if others don't like it, stiff, they can WP:SOFIXIT. --Russavia Dialogue 18:30, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

I was cleaning up after an edit-warrior, who blindly reverted against the discussion on the talk page. And where is the fourth revert, my dear stalker? Colchicum (talk) 18:34, 2 April 2009 (UTC) The warning was given after the reverts (I am well aware of 3RR, though) and was clearly aimed at trolling. Anyway, given this and the three bogus reports above by the same team, I think some sanctions agaist Russavia and Offliner are warranted. Colchicum (talk) 18:37, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
Nice job talking about me behind my back. Real class act.
As for the WP:TEAM -- take a look at how User:Russavia inserts neo-Nazi claims about Estonian police into Wikipedia after Offliner did it twice ([268], [269]). Obviously, the tactic is to troll articles with silly or outrageous content, skirting the borders of WP:V, and then count reverts. I concur that sanctions are in order -- both on Russavia, of this report, and Offliner, of two reports above. ΔιγουρενΕμπρος! 18:56, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
Colchicum, 3RR doesn't entitle you to 3 reverts. Also, I unfortunately had to advise you after the violation. BTW, there is no team on my part, particularly with Offliner, we operate independently with our edits on WP, and there is little to no actual interaction between us. Now, the information was totally sourced, and was neutrally written, and was attributed. As another editor obviously has seen fit to include said information into the article, there obviously is not consensus to exclude it. But at least you weren't whitewashing the sourced information completely as Digwuren attempted, and inserted unsourced information like Digwuren has, and refused to provide sources like Digwuren has. If it were up to me, I'd rather bring Digwuren here, rather than yourself, but given your message on Digwuren's talk page, which considering his past seems like a call to WP:TEAM in order to defeat WP:3RR I have no choice but to bring that here. --Russavia Dialogue 19:36, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
Considering their history of mutual coordination, it is indeed suspicious that they both landed there at the same time, though they have never edited or shown any inclination to edit those articles before, but let's assume good faith for the time being ;) Colchicum (talk) 20:20, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
    • Is this the best you guys can do? Honestly! What do you see there? A message from one editor to another editor who has been involved in the same article in the past, with a note alerting them to the insertion of materials which were challenged in the past and removed, and encouraging him to discuss this on the talk page. That's some damning evidence right there. This alleged call to arms resulted in Talk:Web_brigades#Reversal_to_old_versions_of_text, which if below it one will notice certain editors insertion of Arbcom decisions into the article, and constant re-addition of said information, even after it was pointed out on several occasions that WP is not a reliable source. But what does any of that have to do with this? About the same as your link to a talk page message on a totally unrelated subject. Nothing. Additionally, you will notice above in the other reports that I have clearly stated that I don't believe 3RR has taken place; I guess this means our team is now defunct Offliner *insert rolly eyes here* --Russavia Dialogue 20:21, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
    • And yes Martintg, I would rather bring Digwuren here, because as far as I am concerned inserting unsourced material into an article, and then tell another editor to source it himself, goes against verifiability, and as the assertion he has made is absolutely contentious, then I regard such things as more heinous than 3RR, but I can't bring Digwuren here for that, and in fact, there is little I can do about it, and he basically knows that. Recognising something like this as genocide or a crime against humanity is a pretty controversial thing to do, but there is no source for this contentious content, and there still is NO source. But please, don't continue with the battle accusations, as all one has to do is show this in which Colchicum stated "I stronly suggest you not collaborate with Ruavia", which resulted in him receiving this warning, which he ignored. What we have in this article is an editor inserting sourced, neutrally worded information into an article, and then the pack descends upon it, and causes crap like this. --Russavia Dialogue 20:35, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

  • Previous version reverted to: [293]



  • Diff of 3RR warning: [298]

Wikifan is continuously adding the POV tag to the article. Other editors had in the past agreed with the user, but those concerns have been remedied and they no longer support the tag being placed in the article, as can be seen here at the end of the section. The entirety of the dispute is that Wikifan insists on keeping the POV tag in the article without noting that the concerns have already been addressed. When asked what would improve the article's neutrality he responds with his feelings that the article should not exist and that the AfD did not produce the required outcome. Nableezy (talk) 04:18, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

A note, another user also added the POV tag, Shuki, and we were able to discuss it in a calm manner on his talk page. I dont really mind the tag being placed, but a rationale and ideas for improvement would be appreciated, not the blanket statements Wikifan has been making that the article shouldnt even exist as a POV fork and so the POV tag has to be included. Nableezy (talk) 04:23, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
Please. I'm really getting tired of your wikihounding. I was simply adding the POV that was suggested in talk and widely supported per prior AFD. You continually to ask for examples, I gave you explicit reasons yet you continue to remove the tag. Also, suspicious the creator of the article who has take an usual obsession with the topic reported me for adding what clearly goes against his POV. Anyways, I knew you were waiting for this. Hope you are satisfied. :D Wikifan12345 (talk) 04:38, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
Also, I followed the 3rr process and explained the tag in simple terms. Just because you disagree doesn't mean it shouldn't be on the article. Whoever blocks me remember this was nothing close to blind edit warring. Wikifan12345 (talk) 04:41, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Verbal reported by Adrian CZ (Result: No Action)[edit]

  • Previous version reverted to: [313]

On 25 March I made what I thought were some good improvements to the Matthias Rath article, all per WP:AVOID and with the aim of improving the article’s WP:NPOV. Whilst I would obviously agree that the Words to Avoid guidelines are best treated with common sense and the occasional exception, Verbal seemingly wants to make an exception of an entire WP:BLP. To do so clearly contravenes WP:NPOV. Moreover, to repeatedly revert all of my edits in their entirety, three times within eight and a half hours, is not only completely unjustified but also a clear case of edit-warring and breaking the three-revert rule. Adrian CZ (talk) 15:35, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

  • Firstly, I did not attempt more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. However, this was not an attempt at gaming by going to the technical limit. I asked for the IPs and new account to discuss their edits on the talk page of this controversial BLP to justify them, and requested page protection when it became obvious that they were not willing to discuss the edits in an attempt to force discussion. I was not the editor that reverted Adrian CZs edits, rather another editor that also thought this was a mistaken application of WP:AVOID. The reverts by the IPs also removed other article improvements, whereas the language introduced by Adrian CZ was clumsy and unclear. This can simply be resolved by discussion of individual occurrences on the talk page to gain agreement and consensus and find alternative wordings, if required, that improve the article. Note that my request for page protection was for semi page protection, which would have allowed Adrian or other established editors to debate and edit the page still. In future with this kind of dispute on controversial BLPs I will request semi-protection earlier, or ask the advice of experienced administrators. Thanks, Verbal chat 16:08, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
  • No action Quite apart from 3RR not being technically breached (and not to mention that this dispute is four days old and thus stale), reverting a collection of suspicious IPs on a BLP/altmed article gives far more latitude to an editor, especially when at least two of those IPs are clearly the same editor and another is an account with one edit, and Verbal's erit summaries clearly point those editors towards the talkpage without success.

Likebox appears determined both to have his original research and independent conclusions about this topic included in the article, and will not even accept a "disputed section" template. But frankly, it's blatant OR wholly unsupported by the sources Likebox has used. Today, three separate editors have agreed the stuff is unsupported by the sources, and Likebox has reverted them all including myself. On a prior occasion on this exact issue in the same article, other editors including at least one admin have expressed unqualified agreement it's original research. But today the issue is edit warring to insist the original research be included. Regrettably, I therefore request a block of sufficient strength to make the point that LIkebox's approach is completely out of bounds w.r.t. both WP content policy and WP behavioral policy. ...

This is another dispute over the use of BC/AD and BCE/CE. We get this every once in a while. This scientific article uses the scientific standard of BCE/CE. Monsieur Voltaire claims that since the article was originally opened with BC/AD, the article must adhere to that. Please disabuse.

This anonymous user has been switching IP addresses every time he is warned to stop vandalizing the page Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna of Russia (1899-1918). He is posting the same inaccurate information at the page Romanov claimants and continues to revert back and switch IP addresses when he is warned on that page as well. I suggest semi-protecting both pages so that anonymous users cannot edit them. --Bookworm857158367 (talk) 23:31, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

User is carrying on a related edit war at Renewable energy and another edit war at Output impedance (though the second may have just cooled down). NJGW (talk) 08:10, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Editor warned. Though there were four reverts in 24 hours, this user has not made further edits to any of the articles mentioned since 4 April, and (thanks to an apparent compromise at OTE) there is no ongoing dispute. If he continues to promote his thermal ideas against consensus in any other articles, consider re-filing the report. If the editor prefers to keep blanking all messages left on his Talk, maybe he should stay out of contentious editing situations, where reaching a compromise may require building up a discussion thread.

The user is perfectly aware of the existence of 3RR, he was blocked two times for edit-warring, has given 3RR warnings and reported other users to this noticeboard himself, as well as claimed that he is "mindful of 3RR".

Colchicum (talk) 12:35, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

The first 3 are reverts yes, and this will be continued to discussed on the talk page which is occurring, and I will be furthering the discussion to take this to a wider audience as to the threshold for inclusion in the article. The 2nd two are not reverts of the first 3, but moving an article after a user who calls Google search results Talk:Security_Police_Board_(Estonia)#Moved_to_Security_Police_Board bullshit moved it, and another editor who has claimed that precedent is that National Gendarmerie is at it's native language (when French name is Gendarmerie Nationale). If the article is moved back it will be taken to WP:RM, but when we have naming conventions in place we should be following them. And frankly, editors who refer to others as Neo-Nazi's, as Digwuren has here (not once! but twice!) is a grosser violation of WP than moving the article to a placename which complies with naming conventions. Now we will wait for comment from Digwuren, Martintg, probably a couple of other regulars, but I've had my say here. But I will add that it takes 2 to tango (in this case, it takes 3!), and I have backed off, and am continuing to discuss. --Russavia Dialogue 13:28, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

A revert is a revert. You moved the article back to the same title again. I don't think that your title is wrong, but I think that the lame move wars are very disruptive. Colchicum (talk) 13:37, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
And I hope that you will tell this to Digwuren and Martintg also, because they are clearly not innocent in this entire process. It takes more than one to tango. --Russavia Dialogue 13:41, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Note: The comments directly below are in relation to comments which Digwuren posted and hence removed here.

No, 2 days ago, "the editor" reverted Digwuren for a mass removal of sourced information. Whilst cleaning it up, "the editor" came to his conclusion that what was written as it stood was undue, and removed it almost immediately. After another editor 2 days later inserted said information which he initially inserted, which was reverted, "the editor" reverted it and cut it right down, and insured that only reliable sources were used. Digwuren continued to claim the information was still sourced to the blog which garnered that response. Best to show things how they are instead of painting a wrong picture. --Russavia Dialogue 13:41, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps one should also note, that Digwuren (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has made 3 reverts in the article in the past 24 hours: [376][377][378], despite Connolley's warnings:[379]. Even the edit warring by Martintg (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) seems to be still going on, despite him being recently unblocked on the promise that he will stop edit warring: [380][381]. In any case, there seems to be a lot of edit warring going on, and obviously warnings aren't helping as much as they should. Offliner (talk) 13:55, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

So, should they let you repeatedly insert the inaccurately summarized patent nonsense produced by a noted neo-Nazi to the article you have never been interested in before? I don't think so. Unlike Russavia, they are nowhere near the limit set by the 3RR, by the way. It is better to discuss the things on the talkpage, which you carefully avoid, rather than to hijack this "discussion". Colchicum (talk) 14:07, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Colchicum, are you not tired of patronising revert-warring on Digwuren's part? This has been going on for years. As soon as Digwuren is indef blocked, the problem will resolve itself. It's as clear as day. --Ghirla-трёп- 14:25, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Nice to see you, Ghirla, here in English Wikipedia, too. But please don't 'chime in' with such useless inflammatory comments. This is not constructive at all. PS. Do you have this page in your watchlist or just stalking someone? --Miacek and his crime-fighting dog (woof!) 14:54, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
This is very simple. R. made a 3RR violation, as clear from the diffs. This is not the first time when O. and R. are reported for clear 3RR violations, and they sometimes even openly admitted this, without making any apologies or remorse. In a few cases they were blocked. But they were not even warned in many other clear cases of clear 3RR violations. I am not sure if administrators want this behavior to continue, but doing nothing certainly encourage such WP:Battles which continue unabated on a regular basis.Biophys (talk) 16:47, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Now we just need to hear from Martintg, then all of the peanut gallery has had their say. --Russavia Dialogue 16:57, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
That is precisely a WP:Battle statement of yours I am talking about. Do you admit that you made a 3RR violation (moving article was also a revert)? Do you apologize for that? Do you promise not to do this again?Biophys (talk) 17:01, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Haha, peanut gallery is a battle statement? People do act like the peanut gallery at times, and we don't need to hear from it. C'mon, you have to come up with something better than that. (As will Digwuren for his storage ha). Perhaps you can have a word to Digwarrior about his accusing others of being Neo-Nazis, and perhaps you can have a word to Colchicum for "I stronly suggest you not collaborate with Ruavia." instead of boring me to tears with your rubbish of me creating battle conditions. I've yet to see the peanut gallery condemn either of those for those comments, so excuse me for choking on your sense of moral outrage. --Russavia Dialogue 18:10, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
  • information Administrator note Looking over the page history, it is apparent that Russavia was not the only one edit warring. While this does not excuse his actions, I think we need to remember to look at the bigger picture here. Had I stumbled accross this earlier both Russavia and Digwuren would have been blocked for edit warring, and for Digwuren's part in violating RFAR/Digwuren. But because there has not been any edit warring for at least five hours a block at this point would be clearly punitive and as such I am going to decline taking any action on the basis of it being Stale. Tiptoety talk 18:25, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
    • Comment: Well I am gobsmacked, I get blocked 21 hours after my last revert on Finnish Anti-Fascist Committee and Russavia escapes a clear technical breach because it is 5 hours old, and Digwuren cops a backhander to boot. How does Russavia do it, muddy the waters with counter accusations of incivility and edit warring? Like kids not given boundaries, and 3RR is a clear boundary, this result will only embolden him to further disruption. Martintg (talk) 19:19, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
      • I will readily admit that I err, and cop punishments on the chin; the only thing I fought was my indef banning for sockpuppetry, because it was clearly wrong. However, I have yet to see from some other editors an admission of wrongdoing; you are making out that I am the only one who does things wrong around here, and anyone who even so much as says that is deluded. Having said that, if you are so outraged that I didn't get blocked, when you were, I have no objections if Tiptoety wishes to ignore the "stale" nature and dish out whatever blocks he was going to hand out, however, I am not going to dispute it, because if the page moves are counted as "reverts", then yes I clearly reverted 3RR, and I have always said "One rule for all, not just for some". Does this make people happy? --Russavia Dialogue 19:44, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
        • For someone who claims they are prepared to cop it in the chin, you sure do spray a lot of mud. Not wanting to get into a content discussion here, but creating a "Criticisms" section on the basis of the views of a neo-Nazi is clearly contentious as it is undue, similar to basing a criticisms of the FBI section solely on the views of Al Capone. It was clear that other editors objected to this a few days earlier, and the discussion should have continued on talk, yet you reignite the whole thing again by attempting to insert this same contentious material. This pattern of confrontational and combative editing is the same across a whole range of Estonia related articles. You Australian, but you behave alike an Russian ultra-nationalist, is this entertainment for you? The problem is that your behaviour is inciting other editors, in particular Offliner, to engage in similar disruptive editing in an area that has had a measure of peacefulness last year. We even have Ghirla coming out of the wood work because of your antics. You have not contributed anything positive to Estonia related articles, just articles like ESStonia and a lot of confrontation. An Estonian topic ban for you would be more appropriate I think. Martintg (talk) 20:14, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
          • Let's not discuss content, because there has been an absolute lack of good faith on the part of quite a few editors here. People objected a few days earlier as it was sourced to blogs. It was later resourced to an Estonian newspaper (which is a reliable source, unless you are going to say this is a neo-Nazi publication) and Interfax, it was NPOV'ed, and stripped right down to the bare essentials. But as I noted on the talk page, this went completely unnoticed because Digwuren claimed it was still sourced to a blog, when that was not the case. But let's not discuss that, let's discuss the constant refusal to acknowledge that calling others a Neo-Nazi, not once! but twice!!! is a personal attack, and a gross violation of WP:DIGWUREN, and there is not even so much as a false sense of moral outrage by a single one of you; I'm not surprised, as there are many very recent instances of yourselves referring to fellow editors as pigs (need I roll out Colchicum's admission yet again)? Well I will just for good measure in case anyone tries to deny it. Just what and who does he mean by "I meant our beloved eliminationists." Well obviously the pig is User:Offliner, for he is the one who reported something to 3RR. Like I said, at least Colchicum has the cajones to admit it, unlike yourself and Digwuren who have not commented and/or denied it. When the same editor writes "I stronly suggest you not collaborate with Ruavia.", and is pulled up by an admin, and basically says "whatever", then one has to be a bit miffed at the deathly silence from the lot of you. So again, let me choke on anything that some people have to say Martintg, yourself included in this instance. Oh, and let me finish, if the criticism of an individual is undue for this article, may I ask why Soviet War Memorial (Treptower Park) contains a section of perception in Germany, and it simply says it is known as the "Tomb of the Unknown Rapist", and is sourced, as evidenced on the talk page to sources you haven't even seen. If anything, if an Estonian-topic ban is in order for myself (no big deal to me), then a Russia/Soviet-topic ban for yourself (and others) is in order too, is it not (big deal to a lot of you, as advocacy on such articles is a big reason for existence on the project)? But of course not, because none of you have ever done a single thing wrong in your entire glorious existence on WP. I'll start to take anything you have to say seriously Martintg, when you condemn Digwuren and Colchicum for their personal attacks upon myself (and other users) in the same way that you have done to myself. Frankly, I won't hold my breathe. --Russavia Dialogue 21:32, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
            • Your evident personal issues with Digwuren and Colchicum is between yourself and them, this have nothing to do with me, nor is it justification to edit war Estonian related articles because they happen to be working on them. Nor is it acceptable to insert contentious material into Estonian related articles because you don't like something in Soviet War Memorial (Treptower Park), this is WP:POINT. Of course you have had conflict with many editors of other nationalities over many other Russian/Soviet articles, yet oddly Estonia seems to be a special point of focus for you. You are from Australia, do you find it entertaining to incite ethnic Russian editors into conflict against ethnic Estonian editors on the pages of Estonian related articles? Is this some kind of hate porn for you? You have been warned previously of your excessive confrontationalism. My observation is that if you stop editing Estonia related articles this conflict will stop immediately, because this excessive confrontationalism is the source of the conflict. This is why I think a topic ban for is in order. Martintg (talk) 00:22, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
              • Just as I expected, you refuse to condemn them, in other words you think that it is ok behaviour to call people such vile names. But wasn't it you who ran to Moreschi like a 5 year old because of comments I made to Digwuren? Oh, that's right, yes, it was you. That is pure H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-C-Y. Please, just stop with your false sense of moral outrage, there has been enough of this from your fellow peanut gallery members, and I've eaten just about all the peanuts I can. Oh, and by the way, only an idiot could not take a look at all of your talk pages (including deleted messages) and see that there is obviously a whole lot of teaming and gaming going on between yourself, Digwuren, Colchicum and Biophys, in order to get rid of an opponent. --Russavia Dialogue 12:40, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

  • No action. 3RR has not been technically broken, and whilst this is not a reason for not sanctioning, and edit-warring is clearly unwise, at least the editor has tried to engage on the talkpage. I am far more minded to sanction those that don't (see case below this one). Also, he's technically got a point - an article surviving an AfD doesn't mean it automatically passes WP:N as some of the reverting editors are trying to claim in their edit summaries. However, this really needs more than one editor to engage at the talkpage now. Black Kite 00:54, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
    Pretty much what Black Kite said is where I am. Untick and Unionsoap are free to offer their opinion on the talk page or add some reliable sources to the article, but removing cleanup tags without doing anything to solve the issues is needlessly obstructive.
