Editor has repeatedly added a large block of unreferenced material to Venom Vicious, despite multiple reversions by 4 different editors, and numerous warnings on their talk page.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  06:41, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Note: This user also appears to be a sock account of User:Afro55, who has created this article on three other occasions. See User:Afro55/Venom vicious and User Talk:Afro55. In particular looking at the edit history of User:Afro55/Venom vicious reveals the IP 68.134.110.149 which just tried to remove the AfD message from Venom Vicious.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  09:32, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Result: User:Yunder4 is warned against any more warring at Venom Vicious. I've semiprotected the article to prevent any IP socking while the AfD is running. User:Afro55 could be an abandoned account since it hasn't edited since 2011. If the AfD ends with delete we can salt the title. EdJohnston (talk) 23:57, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Update: User finally responded at ANI, wanting to argue about the girlfriends of Morrison's youth. The issue at hand isn't what love affairs of a notable person should or shouldn't be footnotes in their bios, the issue is with this SPA's edit-warring, the unusable, WP:BLP-vio text, the non-WP:RS sourcing and refusal to engage with other editors. The SPA continues to just hit "undo" and is now removing stable text to put in complete crap. I know fan-driven disruptions like this drive good editors away and it's happening now. - CorbieV ^☊ ☼ 18:54, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

The proof is here that I sourced and paraphrased correctly: "Heck no, what he's posting , for example | this link you pointed to in your post above is referenced to a reliable newspaper, and he's accurately paraphrasing what's in that article, as he did in the Jim MOrrison article. I think a boomerang is due. KoshVorlon 16:55, 20 May 2016 (UTC)"

Nothing was resolved. Long after passing 3RR with the bare URL dumps and 4 hits on "undo", long after being reported here and at ANI an uninvolved user - who seems unfamiliar with the material - made a comment. That is not "resolution" as this requires admin intervention. More recently, this SPA has started dumping long, confusing rants here and at the talk page. None of it helps resolve anything as the user still does not understand how to properly source or write an article. - CorbieV ^☊ ☼ 17:05, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

If you are familiar with the history of Jim Morrison as you say, you would know how influential Mary Werbelow's relationship with Jim was to their music as he claimed the first two albums were about her besides she is well documented. This is easily searchable.

This page is about Jim Morrison not Patricia Kennealy who is the only person claiming their was witnesses at her apartment for a late night "hand-fasting ceremony" and she is the only witness that he called her his wife nor have any letters she claims to have been made public. (Sole source/Self-reporting at a later date/No collaboration with Morrison's family,band, or friends). If you want to promote her point of view then you must mention that in her autobiography where she claims there were witnesses she also shows a picture of the certificate with "blacked out" names where the priest and witness's names would be' so no there any proof that anyone other than Patricia performed this ceremony or she had seen him more than a handful of days before the ceremony. She made claims to be his wife much later when she started using Morrison on her book that came out 20 years later. The Doors or the family of Jim did acknowledge her in any way. There is only one picture of her and Jim where she cropped someone else out that was at the office with them. There are plenty of accounts of woman who knew well. Kennealy seems to have only seen him a handful of times since meeting in January 1970 and the ceremony in June 1970 which she stated she did not think he took it too seriously with "probably not too serious". Poofdragon (talk) 20:04, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

This link shows that CorbieVreccan has a history of removing this same information that I added back with a book reference and they removed again. Who really is the "edit warrior"? They added unspurced information and a blog. I see CorbieVreccan has dozens of edits at that same Wikipedia page but on Jim Morrison's page there needs to be a fair representation of who he actually was his girlfriend or wife versus who he dated . Poofdragon (talk) 00:44, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Poofdragon doesn't appear to know the difference between including a link to a BLP's official site/blog, and relying on fanzine blogs as sources in other articles. Reliable bok publishers vet their content with their legal teams, and it's rather offensive to a reputable publisher to sprinkle "alleged" on some content and not on others, due to POV pushing.

But again: any discussion about sources should have happened on the article talk page. This noticeboard and report is about Poofdragon's aggressive violations of 3RR. Productive editors get driven away when aggressive SPAs are allowed to disrupt like this. Usually, we find other, connected issues with SPAs and I expect this situation will be no different. Clearly not enough productive editors have the intestinal fortitude to deal with the skeleton armies that cluster round fan-attracting articles like this one. It's unfortunate. Maybe protecting the article would be better if no one is willing to act on the 3RR violations. - CorbieV ^☊ ☼ 05:09, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

Comments:

Extremely unfriendly and hostile user who garbs themselves in the apparent authority of an admin and set the tone of me for this interaction by accusing me of disruptive editing and threatening a block. A true internet bully who has already chilled the speech of many others. See the abuse of warnings here: [51]. I tried to reason with this user, and their harassment only continued. See: [52].

I wanted to avoid y'all having your time taken up by this, but in retrospect, this user is a true problem user and should get an official sanction for their repeated violations of Wikipedia's salutary policies of openness and inclusion. I truly hope that someone reviews User:Meter's conduct and lets them know that they are acting to the community's detriment. If corrected, I think the user's apparent time investment in the site could be a benefit to Wikipedia and its community.

On the issue of The Hunger Games, I'm fine with the present version as edited, and I was only trying to present the controversy in a manner commensurate with the fanfare it received in the media. I no longer care about the Hunger Games issue and simply don't want to be bullied by Meter, because all my life I've stood up to bullies and tried to support the underdogs.

For the record, one can immediately discern that at no point did I violate the 3RR. Instead, I admitted that my first edit was not neutral enough, changed it considerably and apologized for using Buzzfeed as a source, then reposted the corrected text. I think all I was guilty of is disagreeing with this bully.

It is true that I re-added my talk with Meters to their user talk page, but only because I was worried that you guys wouldn't see her continual trouncing of my repeated attempts to de-escalate the conflict. Each time I offered an olive branch, I was firmly and rudely rebuked. This whole interaction saddens me.

I'd ask for a boomerang for this farce, but this is already covered in the previous thread.

1. Gentlejackjones' supposed edit warring warning says nothing at all about edit warring.
2. The supposed attempt to discuss the edits [53] was a retroactive addition to an hour-old thread that had long since already been answered by me and then again by him.
3. I was removing Gentlejackjones' repeated unwanted postings of the same material from my own talk page (see previous AN#), which I am allowed to do.
4. As I already pointed out, I told him on his talk page twice to stop posting the material.
5. I am not and have never claimed to be an admin.
6. This AN3 was not opened until after I pointed out above that he had left an AN3 notice without opening one, and almost 40 minutes after notifying me.
7. The abuse of warnings he complains about wasn't even a warning. It's an explanation of what was going on.
8. The supposed continuation of my harassment is actually a diff of one of his edits. Meters (talk) 07:03, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

User: Mike1901& John Mayard Friedman hacking wikipedia (Result: Filer blocked)

The users have repeatedly been blanking out sections of The University of Buckingham wikipwdia article for bribes, similar to a robot, to lure people into the University of Buckingham, since wikipedia is seen by many African and East Asian countries as first source, while statements on the particular page are false. Further measures will involve corruption cases against the perpetrators Mike1901, Dexter and Friedman. Wikipedia is asked to ban these hackers from operating on the charity platform for bribes and using the media for illegal activities! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.112.219.188 (talk) 14:31, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

This is clearly edit warring, and I'm honestly surprised that the user didn't get warned/blocked six hours ago. They seem to have a clear case of OWNership and I'm concerned they're going to keep trying to remove the edits made by other contributors. Primefac (talk) 17:51, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

• Blocked – for a period of 36 hours. User:Primefac, you never warned the user about edit warring, so I don't see how they would know there's a rule against it.

This user has a history of edit warring and specifically when it comes to the topic of Austin Petersen. Even though a discussion is taking place with multiple users contesting his edits (which violate WP:NPOV) he still reverts the edits claiming they are sourced. The sources he provides do not support the information he is putting in the article and violate WP:WPNOTRS and WP:SYNTH. Acidskater (talk) 05:40, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

• I created the section in question with well-sourced material. Acidskater deleted my material and added his own. He is a political fan of Austin Petersen and has been trying to discredit me. Bunco man (talk) 05:48, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

Comments: I was a bit late on getting to the talk page, but I did get there. I would like nothing more than to stay away form this editor. I 'banned' them from my talk page, but they came to it a couple days later, ignored my request that they stay away, and started playing nice asking for help. I did not answer, I suddenly find my pages being stalked by this editor. I really want nothing more than to be far away from them, but they insist on interfering in my work. The reference removed is a very, very good ref! The Institution in question bought the artwork that the ref refers to, on behalf of the Canadian taxpayers. I knwo their process-- they have an actual team of due diligence people. That kind of ref is gold in the art world. HappyValleyEditor (talk) 08:32, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

NoW that I read the policy above, I may have reverted too many times as well (3). In any case if there is a method for getting this editor to stay away from my pages (is it not common sene to do so when there are repeated disputes?) I would appreciate that as well. I know that when I see their user name I do try to walk the other way... unfotunately not today though! HappyValleyEditor (talk) 08:49, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, I am aware they are not "my" pages--poor choice of words. What about the 3RR Rule?HappyValleyEditor (talk)

• First of all, the above report is misleading. I reverted three times not four. The first diff listed above is not a revert, It is a simple edit [121]

Secondly, this reporting user also reverted three times. I asked him on the second revert to go to the talk page per brd and he did not. He just blindlessly reverted me again. This user is angry with me because of an incident where he was personally attacking an editor, so I called him out on it and warned him. He denied the attack on my talk page and attacked the editor a second time. I warned him again. An observant administrator Coffee observed this and went to the reporters talk page and gave him a final warning.[122] After that the reporter here has been mad because he thinks I reported him when I did not. HappyValleyEditor has been sending unwanted emails that are scaring me. I want him to just leave me alone. He is also angry with me about me helping editor Jzsj The reporter has been stalking his edits and trying to delete most all his articles. I was attempting to help Jzsj about policies and how to fill out an AFD discussion and vote. HappyValleyEditor emailed me then and tryied to bully me into stop helping the guy because he was a Jesuit. He said You need to disengage from him OK because he is Jesuit. I din not respond, but has emailed me again. The emails are scaring me. I feel that HVE is harassing me, and now he is trying to have me blocked, probably so I cannot collaborate wth Jzsj in trying to help save some of the articles he created. Again, I only made 3 reverts certainly not 4. HVE is being misleading on that and putting forth a false report. I patrol new pages daily, so if HVE writes I new page, it will likely be in the que. If there are misspellings and grammar mistakes (like there were today)I will correct them like on all other new articles. It is nothing personal. Thank you. Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant 09:09, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

The editor interaction analysis shows you are following me around, which is wikistalking. ONE QUESTION: what is it goign to take for you to leave me alone? I am not angry, I want to be left alone by you. the two emails said that, and I encourage any admin to read them as they were sent in the Wiki system. Please drop the stick! Leave me to my editing. HappyValleyEditor (talk) 09:15, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

That is explained easily since I was going around to all of the article pages created by Jzsj which you have been systematically been gutting, prodding and AFD'ing, so when I am at those articles to evaluate them and try to improve them, we will obviously be at the same pages. Also you and I both patrol new pages, so it is likely we may be at, or edit some of those same pages. Do not try to change the subject though. You accused me here of doing four reverts. Not true and quite misleading. Can you not admit you were wrong about that? Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant 09:25, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

the subject here is 3RR and your four reverts are above. That is all I am going to say. HappyValleyEditor (talk) 09:27, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

It appears that HappyValleyEditor just began editing a few months ago, and should come to understand the spirit of consensus and sweet reasonableness in policing and discussing Wikipedia business. From the start I've gotten somewhat different advice from different editors and have had to decide for myself what seems right. As I mentioned to HVE, Wikipedia is bemoaning the drop in users since 2013, and we should keep our larger audience in mind when placing tags and removing articles, not placing 3 or 4 tags when 1 or 2 will do and certainly not leaving ourselves open to any charge of prejudice which will turn away whole groups of readers for a lifetime! I hope that your discussion above has led to a reasonable resolution of this whole affair.Jzsj (talk) 12:08, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

I think this user's first language is not English, as they are restoring incorrect grammar and syntax among other things. They have not really explained why they are undoing my changes, just stated that they are going so. Only concrete objection they have raised to my changes is their claim that ""is biosynthesised" is not English", which is obviously not true. 81.36.240.108 (talk) 10:03, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

I have explained in every edit note and had already requested page protection here. As I noted here among other times, yes"is biosynthesised" is not English. Biosynthesized is English. And the article Talk page is quite open to you, IP. Jytdog (talk) 10:14, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Note that the user requested semi-protection, which is generally used only when a page is afflicted by repeated vandalism. They claimed "Edit warring IP that can't spell", thus making personal attacks while themselves edit warring excessively and violating the 3RR. 81.36.240.108 (talk) 10:30, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Yes, I am realizing that you are applying UK spelling to a US spelling article. See WP:ENGVAR. This was a truly stupid edit war. Jytdog (talk) 10:32, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

I certainly agree that edit warring over a spelling that you were simply ignorant of was truly stupid. You haven't tried to explain any of the other changes you were undoing. 81.36.240.108 (talk) 10:56, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

It appears we have resolved almost all of this at talk and the PP request was denied as we were finally talking. Jytdog (talk) 11:36, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Jytdog is continuing to edit war, with a fifth partial revert: [129]. Talk page discussions exist but they obviously do not give this user the right to keep on violating the 3RR. 88.10.64.44 (talk) 11:40, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Actually, you're lying again. If one does read your first comment, ones sees that it said that I "broke 4 reverts first. Looks like we have the pot calling the kettle black." That's not a warning, either to me or to the guy who actually broke the 3RR, is it? And it is still obviously not true. The first edit I made to the article, most people will readily grasp, cannot possibly be described as a revert. 88.10.64.44 (talk) 23:20, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

How childish to pretend now that you were edit warring over a UK/US spelling difference. You were edit warring because you didn't know the English language, and you made personal attacks while doing so. Edit warring IP that can't spell, "is biosynthesised" is not English You made 5 reverts within 24 hours and continued to edit war long after I'd reported your initial violation. It's outrageous that you haven't been blocked for your disruption. I guess you have pals amongst the admins. 88.10.64.44 (talk) 23:20, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

So just as the above paragraph of hidden text says, it takes 4 of these in a day to have broken 3RR, but this user is still warring against perfectly good improvements (the removal of stray hyphens, the forming of proper s-ending possessives, the removal of an obvious redundancy, improving some kludgy wording, and acknowledging that people have more than one spinal disc).

He/she seems to think he can WP:OWN that article even though all of my editions are valid improvements, as if he had written it (but I know he didn't) and believes it's "his property not to be changed," although that specifically breaks WP:own. For some odd reason he wants to maintain errors and poor wording, and I don't get it. Please instruct this user not to wp:own and block him or her for a while.

The article history suggests that the IP editor has been reverted by about four different editors. Is there any chance of WP:BOOMERANG.-- Toddy1 (talk) 06:59, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Oh, sure, of course because you all have name accounts and are likely in some kind of clique, you should try to figure out any way you can to gang up against this "lowly IP-based editor" to make the report bounce off yourselves and stick to me, shouldn't you? Perfect example of being wp:uncivil. 174.23.160.130 (talk) 07:28, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

I am not involved, but I am an admitted grammar...stickler. I would note that our possible IP sock friend is correct about the hyphens and possessives. I would do it myself if I didn't fear getting caught up in this dispute. I must ask what, precisely, is the benefit to the project of reverting on sight here? Pinging @Ebyabe:, since he too was involved. MisterRandomized (talk) 07:09, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Not an IP sock; my service is dynamic. You've never heard of that? I saw 2 editors reverting purely reasonable edits until just now when their apparent sock friend (or at least meat, probably because they have their little clique and called on him to come and form a funny little "consensus" against the IPer) came by to support their clique work.

174.23.160.130 (talk) 07:15, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

I'm not a sock of 174.23.160.130 or Who R U? but an interested observer. You are correct about Sro23. The irony of all this is Sro23 is likely a sock of a former user, and there is also a clique among certain editors who are actively protecting him. 175.101.8.46 (talk) 07:26, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

This noticeboard is for user conduct, not for content. Whether your edits are right or wrong should be discussed on the article talk page, not here. I notice that though your edits summaries demand that other users discuss your edits on the talk page, you have not posted anything on the article talk page.

IPs 174.23.160.146, 174.23.160.130, 174.23.173.58, 75.162.213.245 are all based in Utah (USA), and are probably the same person.-- Toddy1 (talk) 07:40, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Aaaand... you've never heard of dynamic IPs either, then?

This is only about conduct? Oh, okay, so you can see why I brought up sro's edit-warring conduct then, can't you? And if that's so, then why are you so concerned with what the edits say?

Of course, I asked that you take your little reversion to the talk page. You were the next guy in line from your little clique to make a ridiculous reversion, so why should I be the one to start the talk on the page instead of you? And then if the wording is your only issue, why are you reverting all the other work I did with it? 174.23.160.130 (talk) 09:06, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Agree with Dennis's closure. I looked at a few of the references to see if Commonsenseyes had any backup for what they were saying in the edit summaries. But the broad outline of what the article is saying appears right, so there is no obvious BLP issue. Whether Piotr Novak ever hired or fired someone named Kasalik doesn't seem fundamental, so I hope that those who read Polish can comment. EdJohnston (talk) 19:15, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Editor is ignoring advice about the need to demonstrate notability and continually reintroducing material without sufficient sourcing. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:02, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

The edit warring continues. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:41, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

This is a learning process, but thanks for the corrections. The difficulty here began with another user removing content simply because no Wikipedia article existed. I tried to add independent sources to back up the entry, however, others simply claim that these aren't independent sources. There is a problem of knowledge outside an editor's area of expertise and his or her subjective sense of quality vs. quantity of sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DavidRThomason (talk • contribs) 22:02, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Please see my replies at User talk:Vaparedes#Ignorant editors on Wikipedia, DavidRThomason. It is more about lack of significant coverage than the independence of the sources. Cordless Larry (talk) 22:09, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Comments:

Plugee is engaging in personal attacks and using bad-faith edits. He cites works that do not support his position but rather the opposite and despite ongoing discussion on the talk page, he decided to claim I'm an islamophobe (I'm Muslim btw) and engage in edit warring without even using edit summaries.

User also added this passive-aggressive thing to my talk page today as well.

This is no way to edit an encyclopedia. Ogress 23:32, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

I, Plugee, have added several edits to Amalia (given name) in order to give additional, well-cited information about the origins of the name. These also included several edits to bring the article up to the standards of the Wikipedia Manual of Style. Ogress has consistently removed my edits without providing any justifiable reasoning. I would like to remind Ogress that Wikipedia is built on knowledge and respect, and not on opinion and prejudice.

Respectfully,

Plugee (talk) 23:58, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

I would like to add that I choose to be editor because I am passionate about what Wikipedia stands for. I have no interest in abusing or spamming this website. Plugee (talk) 00:31, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

@EdJohnston: Can the page please be rolled back to before the user's contested edits? Ogress 23:50, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Why not make a proposal on the talk page for the version you favor? The article could use some better sources. There is an Oxford work called A Dictionary of First Names that might have good information if anyone can get hold of it. EdJohnston (talk) 00:06, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

That sounds like a reasonable compromise to me. Plugee (talk) 00:11, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

All edits that I have since added have been well-cited, and they go beyond the origin of the name, also having to do with formatting in the article. These edits have no justification for being reverted. Plugee (talk) 00:04, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

@EdJohnston: This is literally the source of the edit conflict and Plugee is already indicating intransigence. Your edits, Plugee, are literally not well-sourced; your claimed sources DO NOT SAY what you claim they do, as I have repeatedly noted on the page you are engaging in bad-faith editing. Ogress 01:23, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Consider using the steps of WP:Dispute resolution, for example, request a WP:Third opinion. If you ask outsiders to look into it, one problem is that the talk page discussion is hard to understand. It would help if each side would spell out what sources they are using for their position. If you want, you can get advice on the usability of sources at WP:RSN. EdJohnston (talk) 01:30, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

@EdJohnston: I've been in edit wars about content; this isn't you're typical one. Plugee gives a sample cite on the talk page. The cite does not say what he claims it says. How can I possibly expect a third position when he is literally lying about the sources, then when called on it, moves into personal attacks (for which he has not, I note, apologised). His additions to the page are in question and should not be added until we can find a source that supports his (rather radical) position? Ogress 02:10, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Edit history (see this diff as an example) indicates the IP is either a sockpuppet, or a coached meatpuppet. Humorously, the information they are attempting is wrong even by the standards of Kyle's autobiographical claims - before the actual, authoritative military records were released Kyle had claimed 5 Bronze Stars, the authoritative military records show only 3, the IP is claiming SIX... Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz (talk) 04:27, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Do you pay attention to the discharge papers? Or are you incapable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.34.150.59 (talk) 04:28, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Dear IP sockpuppet/meatpuppet: a DD214 is not authoritative, nor is Kyle's autobiography. Per Navy policy, "The Navy considers the individual service member’s official military personnel file and our central official awards records to be the authoritative sources for verifying entitlement to decorations and awards". Source: Lt. Jackie Pau, Navy spokeswoman. Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz (talk) 04:32, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

...The navy is investigating the discrepancy between public record and the discharge. One explanation given by other sources cited by the other editor show that those operations could have been in secret. I know you hate Chris, but seriously he is dead. Find some else to spite. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.34.150.59 (talk) 04:34, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Anyways, this is all the sort of discussion that should be happening on the article talk page. clpo13_(talk) 04:38, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

At this point, it's pretty obvious we have either a sockpuppet or a coached meatpuppet here. And the "sneaky vandalism" aspect, trying to change numbers to numbers that didn't even match Kyle's book (which would at least be in good faith, though still incorrect by the authoritative records), is really quite telling of what we are dealing with. That's on par with the vandals who go around randomly changing years and days in various dates on pages, hoping they'll slip a change through that won't get caught.

No, I have no violations. I am not edit warring. Please break out the diffs. These diffs are all from other editors, namely User:Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz has reverted multiple editors, violated BRD and LEAD with a drive by edit that is not mentioned on talk or the article body. No one can discuss this until the chnage is proposed and they have refused to put it on talk. The editor in violation is argumentative anf incorectly characterizes content disputes as vandalism. A trout to Keri for not fleshing out the diffs.

None of these reverts involve me and there certainly is not a 3RR violation by me. I've made only 4 non-consecutive edits in 3 days which is not a violation by letter or spirit considering the below is within 1 day. Note that User:Keri has supported Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz edit warring with their own revert without a talk page comment.[183] I have requested it be brought to talk as it's difficult to understand this lead violating edit with an unreliable source.

User:Dino nam and User:Tnguyen4321 have been reverting the same, single {{or}} tag back and forth on the Battle of Ia Drang article since mid-May, despite both receiving warnings for it. (An earlier 3RR report from a couple of days into the edit war was never resolved.) Discussion seems to be ongoing on the talk page, but they're still reverting the article every day. McGeddon (talk) 14:56, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

• Also the articles at Battle of Lao Cai and Battle of Cao Bang histories are a littany of the same two editors going at each other with hammer and tongs. I tried to sort it out a while back, but it got too complex. I expect that's why it's happened for so long. Madness! _Muffled ^Pocketed 15:07, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

@McGeddon: Sorry for this incident but I know nothing else to stop user:Tnguyen4321 conducting vandalism. His removal of OR tags on Battle of Ia Drang without any consensus or explanation on the talk page on the talk page clearly constitutes avoidant vandalism. About his editing on Battle of Lao Cai and Battle of Cao Bang, I have not many things to say. No explanation, no consensus, no RS, no basis from Wikipedia regulations, that is vandalism. If you have any suggestion for me to solve this, please say it. I've refered this on the OR noticeboard once but no one has intervened. Dino nam (talk) 15:37, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Beware: Dino nam is a wolf in sheep's clothing (sock puppetry: 113.190.165.78, 222.252.55.135, 117.6.88.137, 123.24.194.104, 222.252.32.116).Tnguyen4321 (talk) 15:43, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

It is fairly easy to sort things out by looking into history of my positive contributions versus Dino nam's negative contributions (taking into his initial disguise with multiple IPs). Tnguyen4321 (talk) 15:50, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Based on the edits and the above statements, it looks to me that both parties should be blocked. Removing an OR tag is not 'vandalism.' There was previously a discussion at NORN but nobody commented except those two. (On that noticeboard, Dino Nam was using IPs). It is hard to summarize what they are disputing over. It seems to be subtle points about the battle. EdJohnston ([[User talk:|talk]]) 20:29, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Comments:

This issue has been going for some time, though previously with a different user. Its regarding the inclusion of the Persian translation in the lede. Even though the initial user who was against it ("Interfase") failed to post any counter-sourcing to prove that the Persian translation for this Persian dynasty should be excluded, as of literally today, this "almost brand new user" ("Amamedli") started to hold an exactly similiar stance on the issue, disregarding the already held discussion on the talk page, as well as ignoring the sources listed there, apart from those that are present on the main page of the topic (Shirvanshah). The user in question shows absolutely no willingness to cease making these unsourced/WP:OR edits, and using his self-made pseudo-historical theories in this matter which is also, I sincerely believe, the very reason as for why he blatantly violated WP:3RR as of some moments ago. Bests - LouisAragon (talk) 20:35, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

response from Amamedli:

"almost brand new" is true enough but I don't understand the relevance. The fact that another user has argued the same point and lost only means that they have failed to substantiate their points. I have been lead by two users LouisAragon and HistoryofIran to believe that the sources and arguments are to be posted on the talk page, which I have done. Three respectable sources directly demonstrate that Persian language was not the primary language in Shirvan in the 15th century. I am more than willing to debate these points, but users have offered no counterarguements, no explanations as to why they view my sources as unreliable. Yet they have instantly declared my edits as inadmissible. They point me to prior debate, which I have read and don't believe those sources refute my case. HistoryofIran's reference to Iranica article only shows that the Shahs were Persianized, however I am not debating their cultural affiliation. Seljuks and Timurids sustained varying degrees of Persianization as well, that does NOT mean they spoke Persian. Incidentally all I changed was the order, putting Azerbaijani transliteration of the title first and Persian second, instead of the other way around as above two users adamantly insist it should be

I also strongly object to the 'street talk'. It is absolutely unnecessary to dispense with accusations such as the ones made here (self-made pseudo-historical) as well as on the talk page. I have been advised by HistoryofIran to "go read a English dictionary". This is not only unnecessary but also shows absolute lack of good will and intent to improve the article. These comments demonstrate undue motivation to retain certain references which amounts to Anti-turkish sentiment that belongs in intra-Iranian politics, not on Wikipedia. This is unreasonable. I ask for an intervention. Amamedli (talk) 21:00, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

The reported user continues to act uncooperatively regarding my concerns about the definition used in the article's introduction. I've offered several new versions on the talk page by now, and my last edit took all his previously mentioned concerns into account and was properly sourced, but he still reverted it without giving proper reasons for it. He himself hasn't offered a single new version taking my points of concern into consideration. It's almost as if he sees himself as the owner of the article and doesn't want anyone to change his definition.
The talk section has become a huge wall of text by now with several repetitions of arguments, but the comments starting with this post might give a sufficient idea of what's going on: [207] MugiMafin (talk) 16:07, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#MugiMafin. This report is a response to that. --Moscow Connection (talk) 16:30, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

I actually got the alert about your post when I had already been editing this report for about 10 minutes. Kind of a weird hivemind situation but understandable considering our exchange on the talk page of the article and your last revert. MugiMafin (talk) 16:58, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

The main problem seems to be User:MugiMafin, who has made repeated unsourced changes to Japanese idol. But it's unclear if a block of only one party could be justified from a review of the talk page. Another option is a really long period of full protection. That would imply that changes could only be made with consensus. If we had some kind of discretionary sanction for this topic area, it would be something to consider, but we don't. EdJohnston (talk) 04:21, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

The situation has changed since the reverting started though. We're at a point now where my changes get reverted even when they're properly sourced and explained in the talk page. See diff 5, 6 and 7. MugiMafin (talk) 12:39, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

MugiMafin is the only person who wants to change the definition. See this comment [208] by Nihonjoe. (And also see Nihonjoe's comments on the "Japanese idol" talk page.)
And I'm just returning the definition to the previous version, the version that hasn't drastically changed since 2008 or so. MugiMafin, on the other hand, has already changed it in several different ways without asking anyone. I'm even afraid to look at it now. Cause anything can happen any moment and I will, yet again, have to do something about it. Some of his versions were completely different from each other. He just doesn't like the first sentence, that is the only thing he appears to care about in the whole article.
And look at this discussion:
Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#MugiMafin. Oshwah proposed to add another definition. I said okay, let's try, how can we do it? And this is what MugiMafin proposed: [209]. This is something (in my honest opinion) almost incomprehensible and something that simply destroys the first sentence. Why the first sentence? Why again? I think this constitutes a failure or refusal to "get the point".
I support a really long period of full protection. (MugiMafin has already make the article worse a little bit, but okay... I just want to have some peace and do other things. I planned to be really busy in the Russian Wikipedia, but now I have to be here. I don't want to see this anymore. I don't want to have to come to the article to check if something terrible has happened. If MugiMafin wants, he can create a sandbox and rewrite the article here. Then we will look at his work and we will see what we can add and change and how. [He will write a better article and invite Nihonjoe and me and we will also place a notice on the WikiProject Japan talk page and I also have an idea to invite a great user from the Japanese Wikipedia.]) --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:51, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

@EdJohnston:. It started to worry me that you called me a "party". Cause there's simply one user (MugiMafin) who comes to the article and makes non-consensual changes. That's all. No one else wants any changes to be made. I personally consider this a torture. (One user in the whole Wikipedia with enough energy to waste on attempting to change one sentence he doesn't like. And I think it's this one user who should stop.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 14:06, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

If there is really just one sentence it should be easy to use WP:DRN or open an WP:RFC for the sentence. Offer your version on Talk, MugiMafin can offer their version and then others can give opinions. Can you specify which sentence that is? EdJohnston (talk) 14:41, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

That is the very first sentence of the article. I like the current version. MugiMafin has offered several versions, but the current version is better. There have been already a third opinion request and on 27 April I placed a notice [210] on the WikiProject Japan talk page. --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:11, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

My different versions were attempts at eventually reaching consensus. I thought the more I offer, the more likely it is to find a compromise. But what makes finding a compromise so hard in this case is that Moscow Connection is unwilling to move away from his version and towards a compromise. For him it has to be his version, exactly the way it is at the moment. Anything else gets reverted, for reasons such as "I don't like the way your version sounded". In that other noticeboard discussion he linked above, I offered either just adding a simple "typically" to his definition to account for counter-examples, or using something along the lines of "This is one definition some people use, and this is another one other people use". He didn't accept either. MugiMafin (talk) 16:13, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

At some point I thought we were getting somewhere, but you came and did this [211] (changed the definition to something rather different). Then Nihonjoe came and as I can see he doesn't think that there's any reason to change the definition cause it is reliably sourced. I've still been waiting for you to come up with something, but all of your versions basically imply that idols aren't cute or aren't young and you add all these "ors", "buts", "typically" that make it hard to read.
"This is one definition some people use, and this is another one other people use" — You proposed this version just yesterday and it's just a bad idea, it won't work like this. You just added "but some people say" and repeated (or, rather, copy-pasted from the source) more or less the same thing all over again, but without the word "cute" and with expressions of doubt everywhere. It's confusing, unreadable. The more you try, the more I see that the current definition is good and there's no reason to change it. You're just making it worse. --Moscow Connection (talk) 17:51, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

At present, it seems correct to say that *only* MugiMafin supports his version of the opening sentence. If User:MugiMafin will agree to make no further changes to the article until they are supported by a talk page consensus, this report might be closed. Others have been active, including User:Oshwah and User:Nihonjoe and I don't see them supporting MugiMafin. EdJohnston (talk) 18:19, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Sad to say, I'm finding both of them to be a little hard-headed in this situation. They seem to be talking past each other instead of cordially discussing the topic. What we need to see there is, "Here's what I propose as a change: <example>. What do you think?", and the other person responding to that. Instead, they seem to be focused on how the other editor is being inflexible and uncooperative, which never gets anyone anywhere. The walls of text from each of them certainly don't help, either. I think the sandbox idea someone mentioned is a good one, or just make brief proposals on the talk page, and make sure the proposals are backed up by reliable sources. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 18:49, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

EdJohnston, I agree with Nihonjoe. I will acknowledge the fact that they are discussing their grievances and disputes. As we see too often, editors quite commonly can't even accomplish that much without an administrator leashing them back. However, the manner in which they are discussing the issues isn't collaborative, it is argumentative as in "I like my way better and not yours because [REASON]", back and fourth and without realizing that both of them are defining their own researched versions of the same term, which is why I suggested that they list each aspect that both of them found ("idol" can be defined many different ways; people have different opinions on who or what they "idol"). It seems like a no-brainer.... However, I have not seen an effort to have this happen. Instead, their discussion still feels broken and not structured in a manner that supports reaching a consensus together. Are they being combative? I'd say no, but I feel like it will likely become so if the status quo continues. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:27, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Oshwah, when I read your suggestion to include both definitions next to each other yesterday, I actually immediately agreed and said so in the other noticeboard discussion. Moscow Connection is the only one objecting to it. If we got Moscow Connection to accept the two-definitions solutions, then that would solve the whole problem. MugiMafin (talk) 19:54, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

It's not true. I said "okay, let's try it". And you proposed a version that changes the opening sentence yet again.
If I were you, I would have already written a big paragraph that describes different types of idols. It could include different definitions, whatever. But you just return to the first sentence, why? --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:17, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

@Moscow Connection: Oh, looks like I got you wrong then. I thought you were against having two definition next to each other in the first sentence in general, not just against my specific version. But if you're open to having two definitions next to each other in the first sentence, let's move the discussion about how to best implement that to the article's talk page. I'm going to start a new talk page section tomorrow and ping you. MugiMafin (talk) 20:36, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

@MugiMafin: Yes, after looking at your version I am against having two definitions in the first sentence. And I don't think Oshwah ever suggested to do that. It's simply impossible to implement. --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:56, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

I'm just replying to his posts or his actions. Almost every time he returns, he changes the definition, so I have to write an explanation why I changed it back.
Yesterday morning he seemed to say he just wanted to add the word "typically" in front of "young" and I was't letting him to. Do you think it will make the definition better? --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:38, 1 June 2016 (UTC) (Correction. Oh, no [212], he basically said he wanted it to say "typically young", "typically manufactured", "typically cute". --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:44, 1 June 2016 (UTC))

This is part of the problem: you both need to stop stating, "I'm just doing this" or "I'm doing this, but the other person is doing that". Stop focusing on what the other person is doing and instead focus on proposals. Make them very clear and concise, and don't comment on the other editor at all. Comment on why you like or don't like the proposal, and then offer any suggestions you have to move toward compromise. This may involve agreeing to something you don't entirely agree with in order to move things forward. That's okay. No one ever gets everything they want all the time. Focus only on improving the article. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 20:17, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

You should look at the broader picture. What's best for Wikipedia. I was actually hoping Wikipedia would get a better article and then a better definition. While I was busy creating articles in another language. But...
(I hoped MugiMafin would do something great with it, I would look and say "Great, we'll add this thing to the definition. That's a great source!".)
Okay, we'll see what state the article is in in three months or so. --Moscow Connection (talk) 02:47, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

@Nihonjoe: I know our talk page section has become a real mess, but if you read through it, you will see that I actually tried that several times. And I did it again in that other noticeboard post. But all of my proposals get shot down, often for illegitimate reasons. MugiMafin (talk) 19:47, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

I agree to make no further changes to the article until they are supported by consensus, but I don't see how that will help us solve our problem. My concerns with Moscow Connection's version are that it ignores counter-examples that are already listed in the article (in this section [213]). His concerns with my latest versions on the other hand are that they don't sound nice enough for his taste. I doubt that counts as a legitimate concern, and reverting sourced changes is only justified if the concerns are legitimate. MugiMafin (talk) 19:40, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

MugiMafin - Thank you for understanding. For purposes of this edit warring notice board, this thread can be closed if no action is going to be taken for violating 3RR. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 20:28, 1 June 2016 (UTC

• Result: Closed with no action, per the discussion here and the recommendation of User:Nihonjoe. Any administrator may issue blocks if the reverting continues. The way to avoid this is to get consensus for your changes. EdJohnston (talk) 23:31, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Clubjustin and Bonewah have been reverting me without explaining themselves and have not gone to the talk page after discussion was opened. Their only shred of a reason was that I had an "unreliable source", citing Cole's views from his own writings as has been done 19 other times in the article. I said "delete the other 19 or you are a hypocrite", meaning that they are not a hypocrite as the phrase was subjunctive. All these people do is threaten rather than have any logic.

Diff of edit warring / 1RR warning: [229]

Comments:
The editor is very well aware of 1RR and editing in the ARBPIA area, having been topic banned for long periods before> I let him know he broke 1RR, he acknowledged my message but refused to undo the second revert.

Response from GHcool:
As I explained to Mr. Sepsis, I did not revert. My action was consistent with Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. Within five minutes of doing so [explaining my behavior to Sepsis], I took Sepsis's criticism seriously, edited the page in question, and let Sepsis know that I had done so. The claim of edit warring is untrue and this report is frivolous. I expect an apology from Mr. Sepsis. --GHcool (talk) 00:37, 2 June 2016 (UTC) Bold edit done at this time: --GHcool (talk) 18:01, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

This looks to be a plain WP:1RR violation by User:GHcool. His defence is hard to understand. Both of these edits (within 24 hours) remove text added by the other party (including 'peace activists') so they are both reverts. A partial revert is still a revert, regardless of any good intentions. GHcool was warned and had the opportunity to self-revert but did not take it. EdJohnston (talk) 02:11, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

What part of my defense is difficult to understand. I am happy to clarify if necessary. I'm rereading Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle and I feel as though this difference of opinion could have been solved in the peaceful way that it is outlined there. If there a conflict between 1RR and BRD that I do not understand, then I will apologize for my actions, but as of this moment, I honestly cannot see the reason for this arbitration. --GHcool (talk) 17:56, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article user talk page: diff – This was an attempt on the user's talk page to address the issue on specific terms. The response from the user was uncivil: diff.

Comments:
In the midst of disruptive editing from several anonymous and/or new editors, page protection was requested and applied. Despite this, the edits from this particular editor persisted, hence the request for additional oversight at this stage. The sources the editor has cited (which have changed each time) neither confirm the claim, nor are they considered reliable. --GoneIn60 (talk) 03:20, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

The most recent attempt appears to invoke the park's website, but when the URL is entered, it returns a 404 error. I manually browsed the target site and found what I presume was the intended page and there is nothing there to support the edit. --McDoobAU93 13:35, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks McDoobAU93. Yes, I came up empty as well when I checked that source. --GoneIn60 (talk) 14:21, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

I was willing to chalk up the activity at Lightning Rod to inexperience, but, based on his comment to GoneIn60 as well as his contributions, it's clear Gcook is not at all interested in learning how to edit constructively or play well with others.

Amitashi (talk) 08:45, 3 June 2016 (UTC)Reason I am reporting is my feeling of personal manhunt from User:Wee Curry Monster and User:Toddy1 as well their violation of WP:NPOV in mentioned articles. In Self-determination articles User:Wee Curry Monster reverted two changes that fairly equated statuses of Crimean referendum and referendums in Eastern Ukraine. As I mentioned in comment on report about me there was paragraph on Eastern Ukraine considering it not self-determination but there is no same Crimea paragraph. I consider fair to mention both cases or no one of them. In Crimea article User:Wee Curry Monster and User:Toddy1 reverted neutral word in advantage of arguable and politically affilated point of view. User:Toddy1 is clearly politically affilated as her pro-Ukrainian page says. I remind you that Crimea and Eastern Ukraine topics are strongly controversial so I made improvements towards impartiality. Also I accuse User:Wee Curry Monster of slander because it is my only Wikipedia account in years and I never cheated being as he said "sockpuppet" which is clearly insult.

With regard to clearing out my talk page, see the notice at the top "If I've deleted your message, basically that means I've read it and nothing else. I do tend to delete what I regard as niff naff and trivia." And also [235], [236], [237]. Of the two reverts above, [238] removes POV laden paragraph added by Amitashi, [239] is restoring information removed by Amitashi per WP:POINT ie an act of simple vandalism. Reverting vandalism is exempt from WP:3RR. When he refers to "constantly edit my explanation post on Admins' page." he means reverting his editing of other people's comments per WP:TPG.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [248],[249]

Comments:

I haven't included too many diffs from Ukraine as the editing is complex but the edit warring there includes reverting changes where a helpful editor had corrected his English grammar errors. The revert pattern there is spread over several edits so its difficult to present as a clean diff. Edits violating WP:NPOV, using unreliable sources and blanking his talk page anytime he is warned. Rather suspect this may well be the sockpuppet of an already banned editor as they seem remarkably aware of editing for a newbie. WCM_email 22:20, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

On the article on the Ukraine, Amitashi made five reverts; the limit is three. The edits were as follows:

1. [250] Initial edit.
2. [251] Revert EvergreenFir
3. [252] Revert EvergreenFir
4. [253] Revert Rwessel and add citations to RT (unreliable source)
5. [254] Revert Toddy1 and changed citations from RT to fake citations that do not mention the things Amitashi cited them for. This is discussed at Talk:Ukraine#New paragraph not supported by its citations.
6. [255] Revert Khajidha who had objected to the word "Cancellation" and replaced it with "Cancelling"

-- Toddy1 (talk) 07:24, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Amitashi (talk) 08:17, 3 June 2016 (UTC):Reason why I made edits was absence of info that would correspond to image in Ukraine article. First edit was reverted because it had no cites, I repeated edit with adding cites, but it also was reverted because Toddy1 didn't like the source, I made third edit to add respective sources (The Guardian and NY Times) and then did few grammmar edits that were not caused by me but by editors of my additions! In Crimea article I made edits with explanations but when I saw that my edit is arguable I stopped edits and added subject in discuss page! In Self-determination discuss page I found violation of WP:NPOV because there was paragraph on Eastern Ukraine considering it not self-determination but editors reverted my same Crimea paragraph saying it is not self-determination. There should be both or no one. I understand edit warring policy so if i'll face such thing in future I will use discuss page.

• You are both at 3RR now. Frankly you both need to use the talk page more than a single time instead of pointing fingers because it looks like you are both equally at fault. I've full protected the article for 4 days. Since almost no one edits that, I don't see much collateral damage here. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 17:53, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

My user page makes it clear that I and the IP are the same editor.

Actually, removing a template to a dubious source is not acceptable. I'm surprised you walked away unscathed. The fact that you engaged in an edit war seems completely lost on you. Thanks @Dennis Brown:. The discussion at ANI makes it clear that the source is poor and a better one must be found. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:05, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

At AN3, the main focus is on warring, which it was bordering on. As to what content is best, that is why I locked the page. That is a content issue, not really an administrative issue. If a source is unreliable, WP:RSN is the place to has that out. Here, no one breached 4RR, so no blocks and it isn't the right venue to judge sources. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 11:04, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

• Note Epipelagic's edits are hours apart; and in the meantime, Too Small a Fish to Fry has been reverted by multiple editors on theat article. _Muffled ^Pocketed 12:54, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

NOPE! I only reverted epipelagic's edits, not the others. And that's only because he was being so ridiculous like editing for consistency "required a consensus."

And that number of hours doesn't change the fact that he was edit-warring. That's the same kind of thing that people told me while I was in IP mode. Remember, if your edit-warring even cross the line of breaking 3RR, those 4+ reversions can be hours apart but still be in the same day. And why reverted by multiple editors: for trying to be consistent or something like that? And then for trying to fix my wrong? Oh, give me a freaking break! Too Small a Fish to Fry (talk) 13:01, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

I've sent more edits total during this time, but that was only because they were partial (a few groups of similar edits; make some and then save, make a few more and then save; they don't count as multiple reversions). I can't say this editor has broken 3RR yet, but he is still warring in general.

Sometimes, back when I was just an IP-editor, I got a warning only after 2 edits, but nobody supported me by calling that warning "trolling." However, this editor and his little crony Ihardlythinkso (see my other report here [268]) seem to believe that my warning to him "doesn't count," and are calling it "trolling" even though he was edit-warring. Now how does that work?

And then when they tell me not to include the s of a plural into a link with a pipe, per WP-advocated way of forming a simple plural with a link, I go back to unform those then. But instead of praise or even just neutrality for fixing those back, what do I get? I get YELLED AT and reverted AGAIN, and even accused of "disruptive editing" for doing what they told me was the preferred WP way! What's that about?

Therefore I recommend blocking both of these editors (see my report of Ihardlythinkso for more detail about this guy, including his WP:UNCIVILITY to me in the talk page).

Too Small a Fish to Fry (talk) 12:50, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

• Comment I think we should examine Too Small a Fish to Fry's edits on that article. _Muffled ^Pocketed 13:37, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Yes, good idea. You'll see that I was just:

1. Fixing comma issues, making them consistent to what was already there, even according to the MOS,

2. doing a few other little things along the way, maybe (I don't remember for sure what),

3. thinking (but I see now that I thought wrong) that it was better to to contain the s of a simple plural within a piped link, and then making all those adjustments, then

4. responding to an instruction that that was against WP code by putting them back, and

5. making some edits in parts (meaning that multiples between other people's only count as ONE edit, really), and then

6. noticing that McGeddon has shown the difference between links that should be that way vs. ones that shouldn't, and leaving his edits in place.

Too Small a Fish to Fry (talk) 13:44, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

• No violation I don't see a 3RR violation so there is nothing that needs to be done here. However, Too Small a Fish to Fry, you need to tone down your rhetoric. Repeatedly using 'edit warrior' as a pejorative as you do Talk:Fish#MOS_consensus (not to mention the use of 'jerk') is not exactly conducive to getting positive attention from the community. You'll be blocked if you continue to do so. Also, while it is an essay and not policy, WP:BRD is not a bad thing to live by.--regentspark (comment) 18:25, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Uh, HELLOOO, RegentsPark, you do not need to break 3RR to still be edit-warring. The warning even says that. I already said in the report that I knew it was not a 3RR yet, but that it is still edit-warring. Why is it that there are so many times when someone can be blocked just for edit-warring that isn't 3RR yet but then you come along and don't see it as a violation until they've hit 3RR?

Why can we not call a person the actor of what they're doing (if they edit-war, then they're an edit-warrior, etc.)? And then why is it that if it's supposedly "not okay" for me to say that someone else is an edit-warrior, even ADMINS can call other people that only for doing this same thing like they sometimes called me while I was just an IP address here?

And why is it that I'm the one who gets chewed out for using the term "jerk" but nothing is said to the person who used it against me (Ihardlythinkso, whom I reported over at general incidents along with epipelagic, for incivility)?

Is there just something about you guys that make you think that the editors you believe have been here longer should get the upper hand and should get more immunity? What's with that? Too Small a Fish to Fry (talk) 00:03, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

@RegentsPark: ^^^.

Too Small a Fish to Fry, a couple of edit reverts don't make an edit war. As far as I can see, no one is problematically edit warring on that page but you should consider the philosophy behind WP:BRD (in other words, you are on the weakest ground). About the behavioral issues, you can't go around calling editors "edit-warrior Epipelagic". You can accuse an editor of edit warring (along with evidence) but the way you've put it is not acceptable. My suggestions to you are well meant but, of course, it is entirely your prerogative whether you follow them or not. (You might also want to look into the virtues of brevity.) Best wishes. --regentspark (comment) 01:40, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Editor is exercising WP:IDHT and pushing POV through sweeping removals of content replaced today by myself as well as an administrator, Jauerback. The content was replaced following edit warring and restoration of unreliably sourced content by the individual being reported here three days ago. Same editor has been edit warring at another Chris Kyle-related article, American Sniper [269] as well as at the Chris Kyle article talk page [270], [271]. He's been warned before about this behavior at the Kyle article and the article talk page and was brought here a few days ago before it was FPP'd [272]. Further, he filed a bogus 3RR report on Jauerback (seen here, above) today. The reversions he just completed were to revert what Jauerbach replaced.[273]. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 01:09, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Look in a mirror Winkelvi. I stayed OFF the page when you started edit warring mere minutes after PP expired, described by another editor as ""a blatant attempt to derail and bypass the discussion above where consensus was forming". Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz (talk) 01:18, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

WP:BOOMERANG? Irondome (talk) 01:31, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

I'm curious as to why you think WP:BOOMERANG be appropriate, Irondome. I have not been edit warring at the article nor any of the other pages I mentioned in this report, so your suggestion that I should received a 3RR block for reporting PVJ is confusing to me. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 01:38, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

I am curious why you resort to the boards so much. Talk more, less drama is my suggestion. I will say no more. Please just reflect. Irondome (talk) 01:44, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

So you don't think the individual being reported has been edit warring and should not have been brought here? If that's the case, why has the page been full protected for a week by KrakatoaKatie? No one else other than the editor reported has been edit warring at the article. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 01:50, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Withdraw your complaint and continue dialogue. This should be the last option, not the first. Advice. Have you ever voluntarily withdrawn a complaint and resumed dialogue? Absolutely my last word, as you deserved a comment. Irondome (talk) 02:08, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Dialogue has been ongoing with the editor for days, to no avail. I started an RfC so dialogue would occur. The same individual was reported a few days ago for the same thing at the same article and they started up with it again today. The article is now locked down for a week, a solution that is preferable to me. I'd rather see the article FPPd than someone blocked as it forces dialogue to happen. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 02:22, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

To review: Winkelvi discussing with another editor [274] regarding collusion to not work with other editors and intent to begin the edit war again as he did. I'm not the only one noticing Winkelvi's pedantic and disruptive behavior either - it's been observed as "a blatant attempt to derail and bypass the discussion above where consensus was forming" (quote from Keri), and "This RfC is in bad faith and an attempt to ignore that discussion and should be struck... Furthermore, it is one of the worst examples of biased push-polling I have ever seen" (quote from same). Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz (talk) 02:31, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Probably has much more to do with the IP editors, whether recruited from on wikipedia or outside wikipedia... plus the fact that admins are backlogged and I was one of the ones who helped REPORT the IP war that Winkelvi started several hours ago before I went out for a date. Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz (talk) 02:01, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

• Page protected I was pinged here so I'm going to close this. I locked the page after an RFPP request, because there are way too many actors in this little drama, IP and registered. I need to note that I'll be mostly unavailable starting Sunday for the next two weeks, so any admin can remove the protection once the dispute is resolved. Katie^talk 02:28, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Just another round of bad faith lying and misconduct by Winkelvi, the abusive personality. Getting tired of his harassment and trolling shit. Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz (talk) 05:16, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

• Comment: Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz removed this section twice 1 2 Jim1138 (talk) 05:19, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

• Comment: the abuse by Winkelvi and DHeyward is getting downright silly. WP:TAGTEAM behavior, constant WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT, and roving around to find anywhere they can to push their POV about someone they have agreed to tag-team edit on in DHeyward's talk page. I'm not surprised that Winkelvi is trying yet another bad faith posting, it seems his go-to harassment technique to try to troll people. So you know what? I'm going to bed now because I know precisely what these two disruptive editors are up to and guess what, their troll tactics are having the desired effect - it's pissing me off that they continue to do this.

and this

• [276] "Undid revision 723629464 by DHeyward (talk) do not remove templates properly placed. Especially when you're the most likely suspect for the WP:CANVAS issue."

These attacks and insinuations, including the canvassing template, keep coming even after his bad faith SPI was closed.[277]

Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) is just coming off a 3 month block/no TP access for similar personal attacks, edit warring and socking. Since that 3 month block ended in mid-May, he's already been blocked for edit warring. One year or indef seems appropriate.

• Comment Their individual sub-par behaviour at American Sniper and Chris Kyle indicates that this group of editors are prepared to edit war and POV push until an admin fully protects a page to put an end to their nonsense. They are all veteran edit warriors, all should know better, and have been made aware recently that they should seek page protection and discussion rather than tit-for-tat reverting one another. Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz, DHeyward and Winkelvi are all equally at fault on these 2 articles and all equally deserving of a block to prevent further disruption should they persist in this infantile fashion.

User:Stevo1000 reported by User:Tony Fan123 (Result: Declined)

Sorry if I am doing this the wrong way, but the above user keeps reverting edits of 'The Trafford Centre' page. The citation clearly states that the official name of the centre has changed, but the user does not seem to understand this. Please could you rectify this problem?

Thanks.Tony Fan123 (talk) 17:54, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi @Tony Fan123:. When reporting users at AN3, you need to provide the diffs (edits) that have resulted in the edit warring. Hope this helps! Vensco (T / C) 18:23, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Honestly, do you happen work for Intu Properties? Wikipedia is not an advertising service. It opened as simply the Trafford Centre and it is still commonly called the Trafford Centre. You only have to do an online search to see news outlets do not call it the Intu Trafford Centre - they simply refer to it as the Trafford Centre. I have cited WP:COMMONNAME on multiple occasions as Intu is not necessary. Stevo1000 (talk) 18:58, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Clearly you cannot read the citation. Accept that you are wrong and move on. Yes it may have opened as the "Trafford Centre" but it is now no longer called that. It's new name is "Intu Trafford Centre" How is this making it an advertising service, when this is its official name. 2.125.3.219 (talk) 19:53, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

3 reverts in Hissène Habré adding the baseless claim that he is the first national leader convicted in the court of another nation; see Manuel Noriega for the counterexample.
