2. "Reverted vandalism and defamation by Islamic supremacist idiot"
3. "rv Islamic supremacist disruption and censorship of facts due to Islamic anti-Semitic bigotry"
4. "typical idiotic Wikipedia dumbass with Aspergers reverting as vandalism something he does not understand"
5. "fuck off"

• Blocked – for a period of one month. IPs should almost never be indeffed; some believe there are no circumstances in which an IP should be indeffed. This IP is editing from a confirmed proxy server, but not apparently from an open proxy. They have been editing since the beginning of this month, which is why I chose a month as the duration. I agree that the edits are completely disruptive. A longer block would be warranted if they return and edit in the same vein.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:51, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

I notificated few times Batmansexy to stop doing this, but he continue to do "his job". This is a cross-wiki vandalism. On ro.wiki he was blocked 2 times (for 1 day, and for 1 week).

Gsfelipe94 has been continuously reverting the number of substitutes on 2013 FIFA Club World Cup Final. I did point out to him that he was breaking the 3RR rule though he appeared to be unaware of it. I wasn't going to report him because of his inexperience but the fact he later reverted again which led to me filing this report. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 12:48, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

I shared my opinion on the talk page and there were people that agreed at first. I reverted 2 edits before, yes. I wasn't aware of that rule and then I followed the procedure used for international tournaments, without reverting the edit. I added new info and then uploaded like that, while we were still discussing. I don't see an edit war here as it is still a discussion. I believe this report was something 100% rushed. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 15:39, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

It is considered a revert even if you dont hit revert-button but keeps inserting the same material and doing this after a warning should result in a block. QED237 (talk) 16:07, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Your opinion has some interest behind it. I'm sure it would please you to see me blocked. Therefore, I see that we were still discussing the subject and I was following standard procedures. When I didn't do that in other situations, this guy over here complained like the world was ending and know he does the opposite of what I was doing. It's interesting. Well, I believe that we should keep it as a learning experience and I'm sure every part - and that includes everyone that gets involved later - will try to discuss it completely before moving the page from updates to updates. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 16:59, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

• Warned. Gsfelipe94, you violated WP:3RR. It was pointed out to you before you did it. Your discussion here and on the article talk page is not optimal. Nonetheless, I'm letting you off with a warning because you haven't restored your version of the article, a fair amount of time has elapsed, and you profess not to understand the policy. I suggest you read the policy carefully. If you edit-war again, even if you don't breach WP:3RR, you risk being blocked without notice.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:55, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

--Mallexikon (talk) 10:02, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

There has been no crossing of the 3RR bright line, and no profanity here. This is the second complaint needing WP:Boomerang treatment in the last few days from this user. --Roxy the dog (resonate) 10:41, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Dougweller, hold on. Since when is "You've got to be f****g kidding!" no profanity? Since when is accusation of vandalism regarding a good faith edit acceptable? Why is Brangifers pattern of trying to intimidate other editors (like User:Herbxue at Talk:Traditional Chinese medicine quite recently [20]) acceptable?

And why is Roxy, who is usually applauding Brangifer (like here), the first to comment on this 3RR report, just as he was the first to comment on my recent AN/I report? And why was he so successful in preventing any feedback on that AN/I report? --Mallexikon (talk) 12:13, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

I'm the first to comment because of good fortune, and as regards preventing any feedback on that AN/I report, I'm not so vain as to think that I had anything to do with it at all. The reason was probably something to do with the unjustified complaint in the first place, much like this one. --Roxy the dog (resonate) 13:24, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

This board only deals with editwarring, and your report should not have been made as the editor had only made 3 reverts before you warned him and then stopped. Note that it isn't warn and report, it's warn, if the editor makes another editor then report, even if the warning was after 4 or more reverts unless of course the editor clearly knows about 3RR. As for the rest of your complaints, ANI is as you should know the venue for them, although you won't get an editor blocked for simple profanity. Roxy has no power to prevent feedback, and you had feedback after Roxy posted from 2 other editors.[21] Dougweller (talk) 13:22, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Why am I not surprised? I have to leave home for a few hours and come back to find this bogus report. Sheesh! There's some serious deception going on here. Mallexikon stated on the article talk page that they were going to delete a whole list of properly sourced content (even their edit summary noted that when they did it!). I noticed that comment about 8 minutes later and wrote a response, which took a few minutes. In the mean time, only one minute after they made the statement, they actually did it! That takes gall. We know that making any potentially controversial edit, especially deleting large amounts of properly sourced and very old content, should be discussed very thoroughly first.

I immediately reverted them with a BRD warning. They didn't heed the warning and continued to delete. (That's edit warring.) I then restored the status quo version with another warning and also warned them on their talk page. To clearly label the section, I did use the words Edit warring/vandalism in my heading to catch Mallexikon's attention. They asked me: "Are you accusing me of vandalism?" I replied that I was not (yet they then lie above, knowing my answer): "Only if you continue. Then it would be vandalism and edit warring. Anyone who saw such an edit would be justified in thinking it was vandalism, but I know your thinking and had seen your comment, so I knew your intention was not to vandalize, even if the effect was the same. It's also a question of motive , which is why I AGF (see my first comment above)."

We have a clear case of deception, lack of competence, and fringe POV pushing. The lack of competence in this case is fourfold:

1. failure to understand when to report edit warring;
2. gaming the system by doing it;
3. failure to follow BRD after being warned;
4. misuse and failure to understand MEDRS by seeking to apply MEDRS to content which is not covered by MEDRS at Acupuncture, and failing to apply it properly to content that is covered at German acupuncture trials. This is a fringe POV pusher's very selective misuse of MEDRS to seek to delete mainstream, skeptical, opposing POV from Acupuncture, and to include primary scientific research (a violation of MEDRS) which seems to weakly support acupuncture (a fringe POV) in the German acupuncture trials article.

Boomerang does apply here, and with consequences. Mallexikon is no longer new here and knows better. They are obviously here to push a fringe POV, delete or water down properly sourced mainstream POV, and do it deceptively. This editor needs to be sanctioned and topic banned from all alternative medicine topics. They are WP:NOTHERE. This has been going on for far too long. -- Brangifer (talk) 18:17, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

BR I think you go way too far here. Mallexikon is a responsible editor.Herbxue (talk) 18:41, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Comments:

@Estlandia: His case against me doesn't make much sense... For instance, he wrote "If you really think party programmes are to be preferred to third party sources, you have no idea what WP:NPOV should look like.-".. But clearly, if you look at these examples; this (the Socialist Party) and this (the Party for Democracy) they clearly use official sources.. The former infobox on the Party for Democracy page did not make sense, for instance, how can a party be both social democratic, libertarian and liberalist? A reader who just wants to see which party is a member of the new coalition government of Chile (who won the election), will have no clue what kind of party Party for Democracy is. Secondly, its a member of Socialist International and Progressive Alliance, social democratic internationals.. So to simply it, I removed the rest and let Social democracy stand there alone. Another example, the Socialist Party officially opposes capitalism (and seeks to create a socialist society), but is clearly a social democratic party, so I made two sections;
Claimed:
Social democracy
Official:
Democratic socialism, Marxism and anti-capitalism (because the party principles and statutes says this).

--TIAYN (talk) 14:31, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

You are very disruptive because you keep removing sources just based on your gut feeling like here [38] (I haven't edited the page). Pan Miacek and his crime-fighting dog (woof!) 14:33, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

My edits at the Social Democratic Radical Party is again a simplification, but (I'l admit, I did not add sources).. But a party which proclaims adherence to socialism in its party constitution cannot by definition by centrist, and again, a party is either centre-left or centre-right unless a party explicitly states in the centre of national politics. This party is explicitly socialist, is a member of the centre-left Socialist International and espouses a centre-left ideology, social democracy... But again, the ideologies in the infobox are again directly taken from the party constitution, because the party explicitly states it supports humanism and radicalism , so this is a simplification measure, since its main ideology is Social Democracy and this is why the party has social democratic in its name and supports officially a vision of socialism... This is called common sense. --TIAYN (talk) 14:44, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

I should note that even AFTER having been reported here, the user continues edit warring, as evident from this revert [39]. Pan Miacek and his crime-fighting dog (woof!) 14:48, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

This will be my last argument (on the Party for Democracy page), what do you think readers most easily understand, version A) or version B)?

A)

Progressivism, left-libertarianism, social liberalism, libertarianism and reformism

B)

Social democracy

• Having only social democracy is best (or Progressivism) for that matter. Libertarianism doesn't make sense, first since you can't be a social democrat, social liberal (who support certain state-ownership in the economy) and libertarianism who wants to abolish the state.. The party constitution clearly states that the party is only libertarian in the sense that it supports and defends democratic rights, but not libertarian in any other sense of the word. Therefore having libertarian there complicates matters more than it simplifies, and since the article doesn't have an ideology section, the article is unable to explain the readers how and why the party views itself as such. Therefore, for simplicity, calling it social democratic is first of all true, its a member of the Socialist International and Progressive Alliance, but also easy enough to understand. The infobox should pertain basic information, and not be too complex. Having five different ideologies complicate things (secondly, not all readers know what all or any of these ideologies mean).. Making it easier for the readers is my key goal. --TIAYN (talk) 15:04, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Comments:

The editor has added inappropriate maintenance tags in violation of WP:WAR. The editor has been warned in this article and another concerning warring and appears to understand the concept and limitations set by 3R.(See [63]) The maintenance tags are inappropriate and that has been pointed out to the editor; however, she fails to grasp the concept of secondary support. Her continued actions are making it increasingly difficult to WP:AGF. I would encourage the reviewing admin to review the editor's other edits for some insight into this editor's actions. reddogsix (talk) 12:19, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

• Note. Reddogsix, this looks like almost a private feud between you and Morganmissen. Although Morgan has edit-warred, they have not violated WP:3RR. The first edit was an addition. That was followed by four reverts, but the last revert was well outside of the 24-hour window. This spat between the two of you has spilled over into the Jessica Grose article and its AfD. I don't see how any of this is helping the project. Perhaps you should just seek a consensus about the tags. I realize that two editors favor removal of the tags, and only Morgan wants the tags, but one of the two authors is the creator of the article and might be a smidgen biased.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:31, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi there. Apologies in advance for this poor use of resources. I'm not sure what Reddogsix means by "inappropriate." I cited and quoted multiple Wikipedia guidelines explaining the maintenance tags on the Talk page before Reddogsix reverted them without coherent clarification. I asked Reddogsix nicely not to revert the tags and mentioned warring several times, but this editor reverted them twice with an explanation contradictory to guidelines. I submitted an edit war warning to Reddoxsix. I received notification of this report in return. This seems to be personal for Reddogsix, as these reverts are in direct contradiction to exact maintenance tags Reddogsix put on an article I created a few days ago. Here is a very specific example:

Search article Jessica Grose's history for the word "primary" to see where Reddogsix repeatedly adds maintenance tags insisting "There are multiple primary sources in the article" (referring to media interviews), then, despite improvements, nominates the article for deletion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jessica_Grose&action=history

Now, see in article Neetzan Zimmerman's history where Reddogsix insists that this subject's media interviews (and subject's own LinkedIn profile!) are acceptable secondary sources, and the article should not have any maintenance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Neetzan_Zimmerman&action=history

I used the tags in the precise way--to the letter, including the in-line comments--that this editor did in the Jessica Grose article. As an aside, I'm new to Wikipedia and Reddogsix has made the past week a living nightmare. I feel extremely uncomfortable here, especially because I use my name to edit, and this editor makes reference to my gender (this editor may have an issue with female subjects and editors, here's another example from today on Kathy_Clark_(American_author): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Reddogsix#you_could_go_a_little_easier_on_her ) While I appreciate Reddogsix's contribution to Wikipedia, I feel that this experience is closer to harassment than collaboration. Morganmissen (talk) 14:44, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for clarifying that I have not violated WP:3RR. Like I said, I am new to Wikipedia and this is very confusing, especially because I did not receive a warning, and was not the one to revert edits. I'd really just like Reddogsix to leave me alone. Morganmissen (talk) 14:50, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Morganmissen, first, you should take a look at WP:TLDR. Your posts here and in other places are verbose. Second, I agree with User:Milowent that you "seem well versed in wikipedia lingo despite your very few edits". Here you plead that you are "new" but at the AfD you said, "Wikipedia guidelines are easy to understand, easy to find, and easy to follow!" I, a relatively experienced user, would never say such a thing except in jest. Yet, you toss around policies and guidelines as if you've been editing here for years. Third, you've provided no evidence of gender bias above. The links you provide are WP:COATRACKy. Don't accuse other editors of things like that unless you have solid evidence to back it up. Finally, Reddogsix may indeed leave you alone, but that's not what this is about. You're just as persistent, if not more so, than he is, and you have reverted far more times than he has. You have also failed to follow WP:BRD. You added the tags. Once an editor objected, you should not have reinserted them absent a consensus. None of this so far is blockable, but I think you should pull back a little.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:45, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

I apologized above for this waste administrators' time, and I apologize again. Not sure what to make of being accused of being an expert Wikipedia user, but feel free to search my history and IP address if there is any doubt that I'm not new. I'm just trying to be a good editor. I didn't know about WP:BRD or I'd have surely followed it here. Regarding verbosity, I completely agree with you. I've just had be to extremely specific and cite Wikipedia guidelines in every interaction with Reddogsix for reasons like this; as even in doing so, this editor reported me without warning when no violation had occurred. I'd imagine anyone in my position would do the same. Morganmissen (talk) 20:16, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

This is the text that is being brought into question:
In the first known usage as slang, WWII German soldiers were known to call the Dutch "cheeseheads".^[1]

The term "cheesehead" was first used in the 1969 book Papillon to describe the jury that sentenced Papillon to life in prison. ^[2][3]

Note: copied discussion from Mike's page to talk page. Talk:Cheesehead

I don't see how a highly respected, well circulated and repeatedly published work of fiction could be considered "non-reliable" as a source for the etymology of a word. The wikipedia article on etymology states "Etymological theory recognizes that words originate through a limited number of basic mechanisms, the most important of which are borrowing (i.e., the adoption of "loanwords" from other languages)". This is clearly the case here, where the original usage was derogatory use of the word by German's in WWII, followed by the use in Papillon in 1970 as a disparaging comment about the judges, then widespread use in the early 80's by sports fans first as a derogatory word, followed by being adopted as a official nickname. This is well sourced, non-original research of the etymology of the word cheesehead, and I feel it deserves inclusion. I would like to bring it to other administrators review (being that mike *is* an administrator) BEFORE this slides into WP:3RR. Timmccloud (talk) 21:06, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

• Declined. I see this as a content dispute, and it's incumbent on the editors not to let a content dispute mushroom into an edit war. I'm not convinced there was a consensus in 2009, but, regardless, the most recent addition of the material was by Timmccloud, and per WP:BRD, when Orangemike reverted, it should have gone to the talk page intead of being reverted by Tim and then a mini edit war.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:21, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Is outright removing valid citations from an article because they don't cite the sentence they are positioned directly after, despite repeated explanations that they cite the entire paragraph. ViperSnake151  Talk  04:54, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

This editor insists on using 5 IC for one sentence when 4 of them have nothing at all to do with it. See my edit summaries and my comment at his talk page.(If they support something in the paragraph, move them to the correct sentence. BTW this is the first time Viper mentions that. ) In fact his history at this article shows a clear history of WP:OWN.. I haven't violated 3RR. Viper on the other hand comes here when his edits are pointless except as an action to keep exerting his control this page....William 05:00, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Again, that was an entire paragraph, not just one sentence. However, I just repositioned the refs so they're not all at the end, implying they're only citing that one statement. Additionally, I am not showing ownership of the article; one who shows ownership usually doesn't work with others on the talk page, ensuring that this article doesn't violate WP:HOWTO. But still, you violated WP:3RR. ViperSnake151  Talk  05:04, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

• Declined. William is correct in that he did not violate 3RR as he reverted only three times. Technically, ViperSnake violated 3RR, even though his first revert, a series of consecutive edits between 23:20 and 23:26, was not about the dispute. Apparently, ViperSnake has at least partly complied with William's request in his last edit to the article. If that doesn't satisfy William, I suggest that he or ViperSnake move the citations to the "correct" locations. This was a needless dispute.--Bbb23 (talk) 09:00, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Lihaas seems to be aggressively edit warring with several users on the page at once. His recent talk page comments are confrontational and uncooperative. I tried my best to approach this in a calm manner and WP:AGF, but his response was so far beyond reason that a resolution without administrative action seems hopeless.

The dispute involves claims that the entirety of the "international news media" is framing the South Sudanese conflict in the wrong way. I deleted this comment and he has been restoring it.

Diffs of the user's reverts:

1. His second or third revert, but the first within this 24 hour period
2. Here he reverts another user with whom he's edit warring about a seperate issue. And you can see that user's changes being made here and here
3. Here is another revert, simply telling me "it's on the page"
4. This is a revert of what he claims to be vandalism, but that is not "obvious" to me.
5. This is a revert for the infobox, which he is warring over
6. Here he is removing citation needed templates without including any inline citations

Warning - While not a 3RR warning specifically, I did warn him of administrative action. I also tried my best to come to a reasonable solution.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [92]

Comments:

All I did was ask for a source, I don't see why someone would behave so aggressively unless they were POV pushing. The one source he did provide after I warned of administrative action was an opinion piece. This is a transparent ethnic dispute spillover, he has ignored reasonable requests for verification, and objectively broken the 3RR. Please help me resolve this dispute. PraetorianFury (talk) 22:30, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

I told him three times that there are references, he refused to go to discussion and then after he does finally he accuses me instead of asking. Yet I went ahead and answered all his questions and showed the citations and STILL I left in his tag for him to approve and remove. Then he accuses me of being confrontational after his first comment was accusatory. That is not AGF and it wasn't calm when he wars over it despite telling him that there are sources. In fact, he expects me to do ALL the work. The consensus discussion requires him to discuss, he did not do it before and I told him the sources were on the page. Which I then answered his query with showing every point as sourced, and as I said I still did not revert him but left the tag and in fact NOTIFIED him for doing so and waiting for his revert.

As for the other topics, one can note I have made several discussions on the talk page. I have also shown that I did NOT revert the other issue with links as evidence on the page and that I did indeed revert my addition of 66 without intervening edits.

Further to note, he never warned me. He instead threatens me in the very edit he considers to have been discussing and then says I am uncooperative and confrontational. (I think vonversely an attempt to discuss that is threatening is MORE harmful to congenial discussion, confrontational and even condescending) Yet after that I still do NOT revert what he added and instead wrote on his talk page that the tag is there for HIM to remove. And yet im being uncooperative by answering his question AND leaving the content he added. What more should I do on this regard? Not only do I take his threats, I answer them and wait for him to determine consensus and remove the tag.

The vandalism was by an IP who reverted multiple times without any reason whatsoever. That is generally considered vandalism by many others around here.

As said both issues have been in discussion. I reverted my own 66 in accordance with the discussion on the other issue and then made suggested changes on the issue (which that user did too).

Further amongst some edits there aren't intervening edit which is note a war.

In sum, Ive made attempts at discussion. Heck, when consensus was against me I even agree and didn't edit. (See Srebrenica massacre and internal conflict sections) Other times I went to talk first to preempt possible wars. (cathegory ethnic conflict section, for one)Lihaas (talk) 22:46, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

update still answering all his queries, and moving nothing on the main page. [His] Tags in place too..

Incidentally the othe reditor mentioned here is warring to in less than 24 hours, while yet the other editor is not even discussing in talk. At least twith the former were working out and with the latter Ive geiven up for now, but he is not discussing (and elsewhere).Lihaas (talk) 23:06, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

• Note. My inclination is to block Lihaas for violating WP:3RR and to some extent for his disruptive attitude. However, I don't feel I've sufficiently explored his conduct or other editors' conduct to do so, and I have to leave wiki. For the benefit of other admins, of the six diffs (reverts) listed in thie report, there are in fact four. Numbers 1 and 2 are consecutive, and numbers 3 and 4 are consecutive. Finally, assuming Lihaas is referring to the filer when he says that they are "warring to in less than 24 hours", I see no evidence of PraetorianFury even coming close to breaching 3RR.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:33, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

No not referring to the OP, reference to the other editor which he mentioned here.\

Also, btw, what disruption of mine? I need to know for future.

Nevertheless, am on all discussion as I showed above. And not reverting even his on the main page. See that for the latest. But also wheres the procedure in his civility too? Warning? Diff on "warning" and "attempt to resolve" is the same. See hthat. I too responded in attempting to solve and gave him a heads up of it, that I was not obligated to do. The links are conflating several issues without R3RR on a current event with breaking news and many edits on the page. Its not a gross violation.

As of current discussion its established that I don't even know what he opposes specifically. Other than the blanket removal which he did at first, and were since talking, ive at least partly (apparently not fully) shown sources for, Ive just gone and outright asked him which part would he like removed? Were probably now a hair-trigger away from compromise as I just need to know what he wants...and theres only one part of the aspect at the least that I would like to see there. And this is from the discussion page were already discussing.

Even, giving benefit of doubt, i redacted my focus to only the content on issue.

note now also self-reverted to remove the passage altogether to generate consensus. Fair? I was going to just remove the removal of the cn tag but took it all off to negate now the 6th? That was what he originally did. Alternatively, if it is better to just use the cn tag added back, I don't mind that.

Ive done this too, don't know which one is best but don't mind anyone going to the preferred version. Also discussions were taking place before this before filing, as a note

Here...Im clearly not digging in and besting in arguement that "im right, youre wrong". Im accommodating to discussion, even in interim, till consensus if found. Isnt that unusual for AN? Should be encouraged, no?Lihaas (talk) 23:37, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: Sepsis II brings up the topic for discussion

Comments: The two first diffs linked above is from Direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians (2010-2011), where the dispute started and the last one is from Israeli settlement. Sunny Xmas says he is reverting just because the newspaper and survey uses the word "Israeli sovereignty". While it's true, it's still not acceptable to present it here as an fact that Jerusalem "are under Israeli sovereignty". It would be a different thing write that the question was asked in that way. But my report here is not about that, it's about him reverting (without writing any edit summary, by the way) my change in another article about the wording "Israeli sovereignity". There was no basis for using that kind of wording, not even the source ([97]) use that kind of wording. It's just him reverting things he doesn't like and again, there was no one using that language (not a newspaper or survey here), so this is edit warring. --IRISZOOM (talk) 19:26, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

• Note. Sunny is a new editor. I've formally warned them of WP:ARBPIA. That said, there's nothing that requires them to use an edit summary; unfortunately, many experienced editors don't. I don't see edit warring in the two articles you cite. Technically, they haven't violated WP:3RR, although they came close.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:21, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

note they admit the 3rr violation in their edit summary Gaijin42 (talk) 18:36, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Gaijin, you're lying, both directly and by omission.

I admit in my edit comment that I'm exceeding my self-imposed 1RR/2RR limit and going to 3RR because I'm reverting an edit that was incorrectly marked as minor. What you're omitting is that, not only did I not cross the bright line, but my edits were part of many, many others over the same material. Rather than edit-war, I requested full page protection.

In light of this, singling me out when I didn't even violate WP:3RR seems vindictive. But you have a long track record of stalking and attacking me, so this isn't new or interesting. MilesMoney (talk) 18:45, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Miles -- a verb sap here -- accusing absolutely every editor you are in conflict with of being a liar is not the best way to conduct oneself on noticeboards. The definition of "revert" does include what you call any edit which affects any edit by another person - "incorrectly marked as minor" or not. Cheers. Collect (talk) 19:17, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Do you agree there was no 3RR violation? QuackGuru (talk) 19:18, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

As GQ said, there is no 3RR violation. My edit comment made it clear that I was not violating WP:3RR, I was reluctantly reaching 3RR due to the dishonest use of "minor". Either Gaijin lied or he doesn't understand simple English; I'll let you decide. Either way, I mostly stick to 1RR voluntarily, with an occasional 2RR if merited. As my comment alluded, going so far as 3RR is rare. I do not intentionally exceed 3RR, though, and I didn't exceed it in this case, either. MilesMoney (talk) 19:26, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

I would agree with that, but 3RR is not entitlement. This user is constantly edit-warring, and this board is the correct venue for active edit warriors (see the instructions at the top of the page). A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 19:22, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

There was a flurry of reverts on that article, and I fixed it by requesting page protection. If we want to block everyone who reverted in the last day, it's going to be a long, long list. MilesMoney (talk) 19:26, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

The article is fully protected and the person who reported this claimed "note they admit the 3rr violation in their edit summary." This was a false report. WP:BOOMARANG may apply here. QuackGuru (talk) 19:31, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

I'll add that they reported without every warning me or even discussing the issue. Between that and the lie about what I said, it's clear that this report was made in bad faith. I request that Gaijin be sanctioned for abuse of process and stalking. MilesMoney (talk) 19:35, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

(ec)The edit summary appears to have been (a rare 3RR for me, only because "minor" is a lie) which appears to say the person made a 3RR edit. Calling that a "false report" is errant (and I would use a stronger term were it not for ladies being present). I suggest that you might conceivably be less than neutral thereon. (adding) Miles -- "verb sap" means your really should note what is said) Cheers. Collect (talk) 19:37, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Lying is bad. Lying to protect a liar is worse. What Gaijin said above was "admit the 3rr violation". Now, I think you know English well enough to distinguish between admitting to reaching the 3RR and admitting to a violation of WP:3RR. It is painfully clear that I did not admit to any such thing. I guess that bearing false witness doesn't bother you, then. MilesMoney (talk) 19:48, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

What needs to be understood here is the underlying issue - which is whether Wikipedia content on the Holocaust should include fringe theories - entirely unsupported by any credible historiography - which attempt to directly link Nazi genocide with firearms regulations. The fact that the promotion of this 'theory' (which is frankly ridiculous, for multiple reasons) is being promoted on the 'gun control' article rather than in our article on the Holocaust itself is incidental. It is simply untenable for Wikipedia to be promoting pseudohistorical propaganda on the Holocaust - propaganda which has clearly been concocted for the purposes of swaying another debate, in another time and place. We owe a duty to our readers (and incidentally to the memory of victims of the Holocaust) not to allow this distortion of history to be presented as anything but the tendentious, cherry-picked and decontextualised concoction that reliable sources report it to be. AndyTheGrump (talk) 19:42, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

You're not wrong, but the place to discuss it is the talk page of the article, not this dishonest report. MilesMoney (talk) 19:48, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Everyone, this is not a forum to rehash the debate at Talk:Gun control. Please refrain from commenting unless you have information directly related to the report above. Gamaliel (talk) 19:45, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

• Support block of MilesMoney for persistent editwarring. This is now the third article in a couple days that get protected due to edit warring that involved MilesMoney. Pamela Geller and Scott Rasmussen are the two others. And this is just the last days; there are numerous other incidents; as shown in the current ANI case. The guy is a wandering editwarrior. Iselilja (talk) 20:05, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

This summary is wildly inaccurate. There are ongoing discussions on BLPN about sourcing, but no edit-warring. If there were, why wasn't a report filed? Where are the warnings, even? This is not WP:ANI, so you don't get to vote to site-ban me. MilesMoney (talk) 20:52, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

I don't get what you are talking about. There aren't currently any edit warring because the pages are protected. And you were editwarring in all of them before they got protected; thus contributing to them needing protection. And no, I am here not suggesting a site ban; however much I think a one year block of yourself would greatly benefit Wikipedia, I was in this particular instance thinking of a much shorter block. Iselilja (talk) 21:00, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

The pages are protected at my request. In any case, this is not ANI, so you're expected to "refrain from commenting unless you have information directly related to the report above". It does not seem as if you do. MilesMoney (talk) 01:28, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Since I began expanding the sections of the article about The Lone Gunmen (TV series) the two users I am reporting came along and decided to edit war, not only in the middle of my contributions before they were completed, but also decided to section blank old content. The majority of the article was uncited and I was working to clean up and improve the article with the information people were looking for, during discussion both of the users in question made a case of WP:Notability and WP:Primary Sources which was entirely untrue as I had added citations to Alex Jones/Infowars and IMDb and other fan review sites. Also the information in question already exists contributed by other editors on The Lone Gunmen characters page. Also I would like to add the editor User:GSK in question has now decided to my warning to him. 72.72.240.141 (talk) 03:45, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [diff]

• I (PBS) reverted the first version with an edit history comment of "Please do not hide it. It is better to display what it looks like here and helps with maintaince" and simply left it at that.
• After the second revert by Debresser at 23:51, 14 December 2013, I added a new section to the talk page and deliberately included "@user:Debresser at the start of the text so that Debresser would be flagged that I had left a comment on the talk page. I pointed out WP:BRD and the reasons why I did not think the edit appropriate. However I did not revert and waited for Debresser to comment. At 17:01, 17 December 2013 as Debresser had not replied, I reverted the edit Debresser had made.
• Today Debresser reverted the edit at 08:51, 25 December 2013 and then commented on the talk page "You are right about WP:BRD. And I just now reverted you again, before I checked the talk page. I apologize, but I still think that I am evidently right and that there is not much to discuss." (08:58, 25 December 2013). However having made that comment about BRD, after I made a long comment on the talk page about what there was to discuss, I reverted (on the understanding of what I have just quoted) so that we could discuss the change per BRD, to my surprise Debresser posted to the talk page at 15:44, 25 December 2013 stated in the talk edit history "Ezplain why I will revert." and on the talk page "Sorry, but I will revert. Note that WP:BRD says clearly that it should not be used as an excuse to revert". It seems to me that this comment implies that this editor intends to edit war in their preferred version ignoring BRD which he previously acknowledged as the way forward.

An editor with this much experience should not be revert warring in changes to templates, which can affect 100 of articles, before a consensus for the change has been reached on the talk page or the template. Instead they should follow WP:BRD and [assume good faith in those who disagree with them.

Desired outcome: that the template and its document page are reverted to the last stable version and change does not take place until a consensus for a change is reached through the usual dispute resolution process. -- PBS (talk) 19:24, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Reply by Debresser:
I agree I am edit warring about this a little: but no more than PBS. But there is discussion on the talk page of this template, in which he and I are the only participants so far. Frankly speaking, in view of the history of this template, I have no reason to assume that anybody else will join that discussion. And all reason to assume that PBS has a WP:OWN issue here! He has no other argument than WP:IDONTLIKEIT! I am trying to remove an error category (more about this here and here, and see also my userpage What I do on Wikipedia). I have shown that another even more experienced template editor than I implicitly agrees with my approach. None of the functionality of the template is impaired, so no need to stress that this template affects 100s of articles. By the way, I regularly edit templates that affect 1000s or 10s of 1000s of articles, that is the way it works with templates. And the examples are now where they are supposed to be: on the documentation page! If not his WP:OWN/WP:IDONTLIKEIT issue, he should have welcomed my edit! See my talk page posts [105] and [106]. I have made the same edit to many other templates (e.g. [107], [108], [109], [110] and [111]), and nobody else has seen reason to revert. So when PBS says I am edit warring, I must by logical comparison come to the conclusion that the problem is in him, rather than in me. Debresser (talk) 20:32, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Comments:

• I'm not exactly sure what the request is here. Both parties have reverted 3 times in the last 10 days (the first edit by Debresser is of course not a revert AFAICS), though no-one has technically broken 3RR. The normal way of dealing with this is to protect the template. But given that both parties are, after all, very experienced Wikipedians, is that really necessary here? You've both been through the BR part of WP:BRD three times, now do the D part. Black Kite (talk) 21:03, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

As I said above "Desired outcome: that the template and its document page are reverted to the last stable version and change does not take place until a consensus for a change is reached through the usual dispute resolution process." -- PBS (talk) 22:51, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

@Black Kite Did you not see this comment and what my request was? -- PBS (talk) 11:21, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

I am also not very content with this outcome. 1. I think there is not much to discuss here. 2. It is unlikely anybody will come to the discussion unless invited especially, since this template was PBS's private project, so to say. And yes, this is an allusion to WP:OWN. 3. I see no further reverts since the opening of this complaint. And not that many to begin with. And Black Kite suggested no protection of the template is necessary. I am therefore surprised that Casliber decided to fully protect the template.

As a way out of the impasse, perhaps these two editors would care to solve this issue by visiting the talk page of the template and leaving their opinions as to the issue itself? Debresser (talk) 00:41, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

@Debresser: you really should attempt to assume good faith. That no revert took place is due to my restraint from automatically reverting a revert (an ambush tactic I have seen used many times by editors who post to this page in an attempt to get the page locked on their preferred version). Does this statement of yours mean that you are willing to revert your revert and leave the template at the version it would be if you were to follow the WP:BRD cycle and wait for a consensus to develop? Or does you statement mean that you are only willing to refrain from reverting providing your preferred version is in place? -- PBS (talk) 10:04, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

The phrase apparently unacceptable to this editor states that some political currents identifying as libertarian oppose/reject capitalism. Anticapitalist libertarianism has a long history, inching up on two centuries, with everything from Libertarian Communism, to Libertarian Marxism and other brands of Libertarian Socialism thoroughly described in the article. That's the one claim removed repeatedly in all of these, or slapped with 'citation needed' sometimes to mix it up a bit.

Comments:

Not much to say. Whenever not debating that Noam Chomsky is biased and unreliable on political science or (apparently) arguing that libertarian communists ought to like 'good capitalism' (as opposed to bad "state capitalism"), this editor insists over and over and over that there's no reliable citation, where the article is crammed to the brim full of them; furthermore, doesn't want to identify which part of the claim is actually contentious. Since the conversation is going nowhere, as far as I can tell, Lockean One just wants to string this along and draw it out until everyone gives up undoing those bizarre edits, for an article plastered in anticapitalist history. Finx (talk) 01:21, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

edit-

Lockean One has also announced intention to continue disruptive editing, no matter how many people roll it back:

And until you or someone else provides quote(s) from reliable source(s) that support that statement, I will keep adding the CN tag and periodically remove the statement.

— Lockean One, Libertarianism talk page

Since providing quotes and pointing to relevant references does nothing and this is just going to continue, maybe a topic ban is in order? Finx (talk) 02:29, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Just to add here, since Finx suggests a "topic ban" on the basis that "providing quotes and pointing to relevant references does nothing and this is just going to continue", I would suggest that Finx show right here any quote provided anywhere on that talk page that actually supports what the statement in question says.

And adding CN tags and removing improperly sourced material after multiple ignored requests for demonstration of proper sourcing is "disruptive editing"? Those are not even reverts, they are good faith justified edits required by Wikipedia policy, as explained in the part of that same post Finx chose to omit in the boxed quote above. Reverting them while refusing honest discussion is edit warring, IMHO. Lockean One (talk) 04:00, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

This is just blatant fraud and dishonesty by Finx. If you look at those supposed "reverts", many of them are not even reverts. The first one listed was an editing mistake on my part where I reverted my own edit 2 minutes later. At least a couple of them are edits (not reverts) attempting to replace the controversial statement with one that actually says what the listed sources say. And it is the removal of the "citation needed" tag that is disruptive edit warring, not putting it in, given that after multiple requests of Finx and others to provide a quote from any source that said what that statement said, no one did, and no one has yet. What little "edit warring" is left is (IMHO) very minor on my part, considering the fact that they were to undo inappropriate reverts of my edits by others, mostly my adding of a "citation needed" tag to a statement that is simply not supported by the sources listed, after objections to my removing the improperly sourced statement. (It appears to be a synthesis of different sources which use profoundly different definitions of the term "libertarian", resulting in a very misleading statement, IMO. But it's hard to say for sure without knowing which source says what.)

It is obvious throughout those talk sections that I asked repeatedly for quotes from any reliable sources that support that statement, and got none. I got lots of claims that many sources support that statement, lots of claims that the listed sources support that statement, but none would actually provide a quote from any of them that actually support that statement, and still haven't (because they don't support it). Finx (and others) repeatedly reverted my adding a "citation needed" tag, while never quoting any source saying what the statement in question says, despite repeated requests. Finx in particular insists on edit warring while refusing to discuss the issue honestly, for the purpose of violating Wikipedia sourcing policy. Why keep merely claiming that lots of sources say something instead of actually demonstrating that they do by quoting them saying it?

The claim that I ever argued anything like "libertarian communists ought to like 'good capitalism' (as opposed to bad "state capitalism")" is an outrageous and despicable lie. It's as absurd as it is dishonest.

One of those two "diffs of edit warring/3RR warning" is merely the notice of this accusation on this noticeboard, the other referred to my twice undoing another editor's revert of edits I made in good faith.

Those talk page links show clearly (if one can stand to read through them) that Finx has refused to discuss the issue honestly, sidetracked and derailed any honest discussion by others. And I won't even bother counting up the instances where I repeatedly pointed out that I in no way disputed what Finx repeatedly claimed I was disputing.

I don't even know what else to say, except that I have not fully explained the situation here, since doing so would be prohibitively lengthy and time-consuming. I can however try to answer any questions. Lockean One (talk) 03:43, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Question. Why did you ignore all the references you were given, multiple times, over the course of all this abuse? For example: ^{[4][5][6][7][8] [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]} -- I am assuming, of course, that you've read the article from which you've decided to repeatedly remove the statements you find objectionable, against consensus, nine times by my count, excluding the time you reverted your own edit. It doesn't sound like there's anything too complicated about this. Keep in mind, I have no personal bone to pick with you, so there's no grudge or tangled back story here. We've had nice words on my talk page; in fact, other people have reached out to you very cordially and encouraged you to take part. This isn't a private edit war between the two of us -- I think I've undone, what, one -- maybe two of your battering ram edits before tonight? I was very patient until you decided to demonstrate that you own this article, no matter what anyone else has to say about your endless, unsubstantiated ransacking of one of the most obviously valid and pertinent statements on the page, cited repeatedly in a (lead) section - where it's not even necessary to do so. If you just wanted to discuss what's in IYHO and IYO, I offered to have an exchange of personal political views in a forum that's appropriate, even though frankly I have better things to do. The standard for including material in an article, however, is not whether you think a group's political ideas are personally satisfying and ritually pure. Even if you don't agree with them, even if you're right, even they're wrong, even if you really, really don't like it -- that doesn't change the fact that communists have been calling themselves (and have been called) libertarians for well over a hundred years. Hence, the title of the article isn't "What Lockean One of Wikipedia Thinks About Libertarian Communism". Finx (talk) 04:44, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Seriously, you are very confused about what our disagreement is, very confused about what I do and don't dispute, despite my repeated statements that I don't dispute the things you keep claiming I dispute. And you are again misrepresenting the situation here by using a false claim as an underlying assumption for a "question" for me, and making absurdly and obviously false statements about me again above. But this is not the proper forum for a personal discussion. This is the forum to make your case against me to admin. Good luck with that! You might need it if they take the time to read the talk pages and realize the extent of the falsehoods you have presented to them here. Lockean One (talk) 05:50, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

This has been going on since around 13 December and I think it is not unreasonable to suggest that you registered an account when that IP was repeatedly reverted. This is despite me trying to explain, eg: with this and in this section, as well as drawing your attention to the first of those threads here. Even now, despite the intervention of two other people, you have continued to reinstate the poor content and show no inclination to self-revert it and discuss in any policy-compliant manner. This article is subject to general sanctions and, to be honest, I know some admins out there who would have topic-banned you already. You can perhaps count yourself lucky that I did not report you here earlier. Wikipedia operates on the basis of consensus and that is neither a vote nor based on whimsical desires: we reflect what reliable sources say. - Sitush (talk) 10:28, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Comments: I attempted to contact them several times via their talk page, they have been non-responsive and have continued their edit-warring.

I originally removed one sentence from the lead of this article because it has no sources or statistics to back up its accuracy. Since then it has been reverted several times by the same IP. At first I politely contacted them (see their Talk page) politely informing them that such information needs sources, linking them to WP guidelines. But they have been non-responsive after warnings and continue to edit war. Sorry this is my first time using this tool and it is somewhat confusing. I just don't want to continue reverting them, it is annoying, they are obviously an IP user with no idea how Wikipedia works and no interest in communicating. Please just block this IP as they have never once made a constructive contribution to this site. It will reduce the burden of me having to revert them every time.

Informed of being reported on December 26th, 2013.

This concerns almost all 2013 edits to the pages by numerous users and always reverted by User:Raykyogrou0 & User:Sni56996! Too many to have a diff that wouldn't blow anyone's mind. The "shortest" and "easiest" overview might be Talk:Love & Girls where no consensus can be found while the users keep edit warring, breaking 3RR and harass each other.

Summary of the problem in the TALK is the Japanese song title リンガ・フランカ :

• The Japanese title is the only officially given title by both record companies involved.
• Romanization of the Japanese title is undisputedly Ringa furanka as long as you keep in mind that R and L are used the same in most Asian languages, so it also very likely might be Lingua furanka.
• The official English translation of リンガ・フランカ is Lingua Franca which is backed by numerous dictionaries, the context of the lyrics and one of the song's composers.
• iTunes has the song title listed as linguafranc which causes User:Raykyogrou0 & User:Sni56996 to undo all changes to the all named (English) pages that give Lingua Franca as an English title.
• Warnings and threats to report User:Raykyogrou0 & User:Sni56996 resulted in a discussion on the TALK page to find a consensus.
• User:Raykyogrou0 & User:Sni56996 didn't change their mind while everybody else acknowledged linguafranc as being a used title due to iTunes but still wanted a correct English translation, Lingua Franca, added. No consensus since User:Raykyogrou0 & User:Sni56996 seemingly are not interested in having a consensus that they don't like.
• Before and while the work for a consensus took place: intimidation for the one with different opinions. Including deletion of numerous official warnings.

Comments: For some common sense, block all users involved and protect the page(s). There will be no dispute resolution, and all future changes will be undone [User:Raykyogrou0]] & User:Sni56996. Even while this is being written User:Raykyogrou0 has undone the very same change (by yet another new user) to Love & Girls (View History) by a user from 112.210.185.52 on December 29th, 2013.

I'd like to point out the repeated harassment by the poster on my and Sni's talk page. I've opened a discussion on ANI about this user. Also, the user seems to confuse this page with dispute resolution. Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 18:03, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

• This editor has been gunning after me for a while now but I think my edits will show they were not 3rr's but instead reverting Roccodrift's poor editing choices, mainly removing content that showed this incident for what it is. This after their failed attempt at having the majority of the content removed. After most of their edits were reversed they started adding POV content that again had to worked on. If they don't like having their contributions editing by others than they should take heed of the fine print - Work submitted to Wikipedia can be edited, used, and redistributed—by anyone. I believe that 3rr is also about reverting the same material again and again which I did not do. I also think interested editors might find the essay Wikipedia:POV railroad illuminating. I'm happy to discuss any changes or my edits and if needed we can work towards consensus if there is the need. Sportfan5000 (talk) 00:06, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
• A visit to the article talk page shows that there's no consensus for Rocco's massive removal of cited material. Instead, the discussion has shifted towards adding material to other sections as the way to restore balance. Rocco should not be edit-warring to keep material out, particularly as it conflicts with consensus. As for the report, until he fixes the diffs, it's an unintelligible waste of time. MilesMoney (talk) 00:22, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
  • I just noticed that Sportfan warned Rocco about edit-warring but the template was removed with "Rv nonsense" as the edit comment. That's not very civil, now is it? It also brings up the question of how much Rocco is guilty of what he accuses Sportfan of. How many reverts has Rocco made to that article in the last 24 hours? Let's compare. MilesMoney (talk) 00:35, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
    • To be fair I first removed the one he left me citing a description he started with on me - A "POV SPA." I won't link the sock puppet discussion on him but that's where I saw the pattern, including subduing opponents with warnings and the like. I'm happy to have others check things out, I think it will improve the article. Sportfan5000 (talk) 00:50, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Darkness Shines has a legitimate complaint which ought to be considered but edit warring is not an appropriate channel for doing this. This user is probably right, but still, no edit warring. Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:19, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

BLP is an exemption, so no vio, I also used the talk page, unlike the others, asked for page pretection and have brought the issue up on ANI[174] Block away and happy new year. Darkness Shines (talk) 19:22, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

The four scientists on the list that I checked (first one and last three) all have their published positions accurately represented on the list.

I'm not seeing any BLP violations here. 63.95.64.254 (talk) 19:30, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Since the article is no exception to BLP, and all the editors rolling back the edits being made to restore what appear to be BLP violations are having difficulty discussing the matter on the talk page, let's protect the article.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: Talk:The K money trail#Balance Needed

Comments:

This is an article about a money laundering case in Argentina, involving the presidents Néstor and Cristina Kirchner. The scandal was caused by an investigation of a local TV program, but the article is written mainly with news articles from La Nación, which is an Argentine newspaper of record and has no conflicts of interest involved (unlike the Clarín newspaper, it is not part of the same media group of the TV program). Then, several users wanted to add other sources that say that everything is a big lie. Problem is, those sources are basically propaganda outlets of the Kirchner's government, bought, financed and/or forced by the government to push the idea that everything is fine and all the problems in Argentina are someone else's fault. See here, an article by The New York Times, to confirm that I'm not exaggerating. I explained those things in the talk page. They could not do anything to say that their sources are credible, and resorted instead to basic hollow slogans such as "do not delete information", "sources come from several different newspapers", etc. Moya13 even said that Página 12 is the third most popular newspaper in Argentina, but I proved that it's not even in the top ten. So, I'm working in the article, adding more and more information about the case, and from time to time Moya13 reverts everything back to some earlier revision of the article, including all the new things that I included in the meantime. He never did it more than once in a day, so it never became a 3RR, but it's annoying in the long term. Note as well that, when he does so, he created a whole number of new problems as well: he removed images, external links sections and categories, added link rot references, includes huge translation mistakes (such as translating "plata" as "silver" instead of "money"), and even exact translations that may be considered copyright violations.

And yes, it is correct that the article should include several sources, but that does not mean any sources, nor to include questionable sources just for the sake of variety. The article is still a work in progess, I'm still adding everything noteworthy that La Nación has said, and when I'm done with that I will move to other newspapers or news sources. I do not intend to use only La Nación indefinitely, but for the time being, a single source that is a newspaper of record is better than several varied and unreliable sources.

Note as well that Moya13 is clearly a Single-purpose account, he only edits this article. His edit summary here, "do not delete important facts that demonstrate the falsehood of the 'news' reports" prove that he edits following a pro-Kirchner agenda. The other users that took part in this discussion or the edit war, Anothernico (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), GMoyano (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), Monkeypuzzled (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), only made a handful of edits in the last years, all related to this article or the Kirchner's administration. In fact, Moya13 has already been discovered as a sock-puppet account in wikipedia in Spanish, see here Cambalachero (talk) 14:20, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

• Note. Cambalachero, given that it's mostly you against the world, you might consider opening an WP:SPI. You could include Monkeypuzzled if you wish, but I don't see an obvious connection. FWIW, there is a username similarity between Moya13 and Gmoyano. If you do open an SPI, don't fail to mention the Spanish Wikipedia finding.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:28, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

They're up to at least 4RR after a 3RR warning. I'll provide the diffs in a moment. Note that this editor's problems go beyond just edit warring; there is a separate report at AN/I - Wikidemon (talk) 03:27, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Here it is

1. [185] claimed they were restoring a discussion that had been closed; in actuality, cut-and-pasted a duplicate unhatted version of hatted discussion from the talk page archives; also restored material that had been deleted as BLP vio

2. [186] undoes attempt to close discussion; also restores BLP violation (unsourced and apparently untrue fringe material regarding statutory rape involved in Obama's conception)

3. [187] reverts removal of archive duplication and BLP vios

4. [188] - reverts removal material that was deleted for WP:BLP / WP:TEND grounds; calls removal "vandalism" in edit summary.

The last one was after a 3RR warning I left.[189] They're also at 3RR (but haven't exceeded it) at Talk:Barack Obama, Sr. - Wikidemon (talk) 03:52, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Most of my efforts to dialog with paradoctor and avoid edit warring took place in on his talk page here

• Result: Tweedledee2011 is warned. This article was the subject of an arbitration case and admins are given a big hammer to deal with any disruption. Please limit your talk contributions to proposing specific changes to the article. The talk page is WP:Not a forum for general discussion of the Monty Hall problem. Your own personal deductions about the problem are not notable unless they can be cited to a reliable source. EdJohnston (talk) 20:35, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Excuse me EdJohnston - but why are you warning me without sanctioning the violating party? I proved unequivocally that Paradoctor did 4 reverts. Also, if you bothered to read the talk page or my links, you would see that I HAVE NOT done anything but try to build consensus for the inclusion of an examination of sample space (an integral part of probability theory) into the article. Frankly, I am really surprised at the absurd result of my report. Tweedledee2011 (talk) 20:48, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

You were told quite clearly to NOT discuss the underlying theory where you were. You insisted on continuing. It was rightly removed, you then personally edit-warred to keep the improper discussion there - please feel fortunate that it's not YOU that are blocked. Let me repeat: your comment was RIGHTLY removed - never re-add when you've been told it was being done in the wrong spot ES&L 21:28, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

The comment which was reverted 4 times, was the final post which brought a lengthy conversation to a conclusion. As such, it should have been left intact. Not only that, but a review of User talk:Tweedledee2011/martin shows that I am genuinely interested to reach consensus on something I am having trouble explaining. As such, this reinforces that my final post on the thread in question, should have been left intact. Not only that, but this [209] shows how, even when I was ultimately proved correct (same talk page, but on a different point)by another user, deletionist naysayers tried leaping into the fray and refused to honestly address the point I had raised. That type of aggression from other editors seems to be an issue on the Monty Hall Problem article. Tweedledee2011 (talk) 21:39, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

You've now had at least 3 people tell you otherwise - including 2 admins. Face it, unfortunately you're very wrong this time. This is not intended to demean you or to remove from the work you do - just you seem to have taken that discussion far too passionately so that you're unable to see how your commentary was not correct, and you're so inflamed against the other editor that you cannot see that they were doing the right thing.

Thank you for your kind words, but you miss the point. I wasn't trying to be "correct". Rather, I was trying to see if anyone else would open their minds and ponder the question I was raising, which is: Is the wiki article doing the readers a disservice by focusing only on the probability calculations and not the verbal logic of the controlling terminology? I think we are, and I think the zeal which has been used to kill off my thread shows the other editor is overinvested in thwarting a discussion which could make the article more accessible to verbal thinkers, such as myself. I do not dispute that 2/3 is correct. Rather, like the MIT professors I cited elsewhere on the talk page, I agree that precise adoption of the Vos Savant premise is required for the solution to work. And any deviance, deviance which might creep in from vernacular-related issues, derails the reasoning needed to see that. That said, once again, thank your for your kind words.

I tried to explain WP:OVERLINK but to no constructive end. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02

23, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

I have responded on the talk page. In the middle of writing my (not too long) response, this user reported me within a few seconds. He seems to be overly eager in enforcing WP:3RR on an article that barely has any intro links as it stands, and in removing the home and most relevant country (Turkey) of a religious and political movement. I'd say there are more constructive uses of everyone's time rather than to enforce guidelines as hard law (as it stands, those guidelines on WP:OVERLINK do not even advise to not link to nations); I would say having a link to a nation on this page's intro would be akin to having a link to a home nation of a political party: necessary. Indeed, it appears this user seems to be fishing for an edit war; even one of the few links on his userpage discusses the 'unfairness' with which another one of his apparently overzealous reports to the admins of an alleged edit war resulted in the "perpetrator" not being sufficiently punished to his liking. Ithinkicahn (talk) 02:29, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

I reported when you reached four edits within 24 hours. Sorry if you feel that was too soon. WP:OVERLINK is clear and there is no reason to link to the nation. If it started in a specific city, linking to that would be acceptable, and that's what I wrote on your talk page. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:34, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

I responded on my talk page. WP:OVERLINK is in fact not "clear" and does not mention the word "nation" once; it says "*major* geographic features and locations". As I explained before, there is plenty of reason to link to the nation; have you read the article itself? It is not centered in any one part of nation, so I see no harm in having one link to Turkey. Like I said, political parties almost always have links to whatever country whose government they are involved in. I would think the same would go for civil society organizations and political movements that are so vitally and fundamentally attached to one country; in this case, the Gülen movement is fundamentally attached to the nation of Turkey in that it sprang from its political system, population, civil society, speakers of its sole national language, and citizens of its government. Perhaps I am doing this argument against this too much of a favor by attempting to prove a point that should be common sense to any passer-by, but I'm in disbelief that someone would be so litigious as to try to follow guidelines as natural law and choose the word of the law over the spirit of the law and common sense. Ithinkicahn (talk) 02:38, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Are you suggesting that a nation is not a major geographic location? I'd be happy to hear your explanation for what you think a nation is. Many take OVERLINK to exclude superfluous linking of common cities such as New York, Los Angeles, London and Paris.

Besides, the issue is not OVERLINK, it's not discussing and simply changing content without discussing. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:44, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

I would say that an article focused so heavily on one country (Turkey) should at least have a link to it in a lengthy intro. Turkey isn't the United States or the United Kingdom; it is not as identifiable to an English speaker. The point is, you seem to be extremely zealous in reporting people for "overlinking", 3RR, and edit wars for simply breaking technical rules. Like I said before, it is obvious that other admins noticed this behavior from you before, for example in this article, where you also reported a user for breaking the 3RR and then complained when the admins decided that his reversions of your edits were done with good intentions and that your reporting was obsessively overzealous. Ithinkicahn (talk) 02:50, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure why you're bringing up an article where I tried to resolve an edit war and did not participate in it, and instead I tried to act as mediator, to show that I'm a problem. The issue is simple: don't link the nation of Turkey in tangentially related articles, and when someone shows you a guideline, discuss, don't edit war. 09:29, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Four edits, not four reverts, there's no violation here. Dark Sun (talk) 20:00, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Each of the edit modified the content of another editor therefore they are reverts.

A "revert" means any edit (or administrative action) that reverses the actions of other editors, in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material. A series of consecutive saved revert edits by one user with no intervening edits by another user counts as one revert.

Not my words. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:50, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

• Warned. Ithinkicahn, Walter is correct that you breached WP:3RR. He is also correct that pursuant to WP:OVERLINK, Turkey should not be wikilinked. At the same time, this is not the kind of thing to edit war about, and that goes for Walter as well, who, although he did not breach 3RR, edit-warred. Ithinkicahn, consider this a warning that the next time you breach 3RR, even over something silly, the administrator evaluating the report may not be so lenient. Also, if you wanted to show good faith, you should self-revert your last change.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:46, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

I sent him an email because I couldnt figure out how to respond to him on wikipedia. He did not respond to my email.

Comments:

I am a new user who doesnt fully understand your editing and reporting system.

Anyway I made perhaps 2 external link submissions in compliance with wikipedia's guidelines. The external links where very specific links from a content page on wikipedia, in this case the 529 College Savings Plan, to a list of web resources for 529 college savings plans, on a site similar to DMOZ. The linked page is of higher quanitity and quality than the much outdated DMOZ, and has no pay for placement links whatsoever - all sites are listed at no charge or fee. This editor reverted the link repeatedly and repeatedly threatened to ban me, falsely claiming that I was spamming wikipedia. He did so on a second link on a second content page.

I recommend banning ElKevbo from participating in Wikipedia.

Although incomplete, and certainly does not violate WP:3RR, I can heartily suggest that the cheapbooks website sure as hell should not be used as an external link from Wikipedia - period. When it was removed the first time, you were not permitted to re-add it without getting new WP:CONSENSUS through discussion o nthe article talkpage ES&L 19:29, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi everyone. Didn't want to end up in a revert war, at all. My goal was simple. To highlight the diversity of the Somali community and ad diversity to the page(individuals of different views, gender, profession).

I do admit my mistake though. In one instance i was made aware that the hatnote only allows specific information to the group, so I cleared my mistake that until i get better, more specific links and information. But at the same time I realized, even information added that was specific for the page was reverted, without any other reason than the people involved had a personal, maybe politically, or religious issue with the adage. The page is being reverted by individuals that want to make it into a 'one ethnicity one culture one religion' type page. Of which I am not for at all.

Tried to solve the matter in the article talk page in this thread, also warned the user for edit warring. Zayeem ^(talk) 16:14, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Response by Amitabho: The 'consensus' User:Kmzayeem wishes me to appeal to is a transparently biased nationalist cabal of Bangladeshi editors which has apparently decided that:

1. A person whose parents are not both Bengali aren't Bengali,
2. A person whose parents are both Bengali aren't Bengali,
3. and that the infobox must have a 'proportionate' distribution of nationalities, regardless of merit. This is particularly ridiculous, considering that the article is about the Bengali people as a whole regardless of nationality.

I have been accused three times of being a racist (against my own race?), two times of this racism being 'naked' (it's thankfully not appeared in any magazines yet), and once of being an 'imperialist'. I have been threatened with blocks and reports several times, perhaps in an attempt to intimidate me; I have been reported once before. These users have made no attempt to debate constructively and instead have elected first and foremost to resort to personal insults, reverting and pouncing on petty copyright issues without any attempt to fix them themselves. The users which User:Kmzayeem wishes me to reach a consensus with have failed to suggest suitable Bangladeshi personalities when asked. These users furthermore have no grounding in any of the topics which would allow them to come to a reasonable consensus on notability and especially refuse to debate the notability of their national heroes, who are in fact included in the collage regardless.
