Bbb23, I will "appeal" your assertion on the BLP violation to the BLP noticeboard. I also find your action here arbitrary and capricious. Namely, I suspect if the tables were turned and I had reverted 4 times and Dyrnych 2 times in a similar fashion, you would have blocked me and not warned Dyrnych for 2 reverts because of your personal ideology. In fact, your warning to Dyrnych here for 3 reverts on 1 issue and 1 revert on another was pretty mild and you knew I said I would not edit further, regardless of the technicalities of 3RR. It seems you deliberately took my words out of context. Regardless, the 3RR issue is moot but the BLP issue is not. I will file a notice on the BLP notice board which you are welcome to join. ] (]) 00:12, 4 January 2015 (UTC) | Bbb23, I will "appeal" your assertion on the BLP violation to the BLP noticeboard.

I would like to report ] making undue revisions to the Fine Tuned Universe page, deleting fleshed out explanations to the Design argument preventing a page with a full and thorough debate.

Yes, I accidentally went over 3RR, so as to specifically direct the user to discuss on talk per BRD. After filing the detailed request last night, so as to avoid this, which I knew was going to happen, I forgot to count my reverts for last 24 hours, assuming that I was still safe. Last night when I filed my report I was on 2 and he was on 3. Now I am on 4 and he is on 5. I should have stopped when I was on 3 and he was on 4.

That argument is ridiculous. AndyTheGrump prevents information with 'citations needed' from being removed barring legitimate links. I agree that the criticisms part of the intelligent design argument should stand and my edit was not right. However, I was totally right to remove the 'bubble universe' portion - two of the three paragraphs are unsourced, and the one quote that is sourced is not from a science journal even if it is passed off as such making it unreliable and misleading. | |||
The one addition I made was to the proper section - intelligent design - and linked the article from whence the quote came while nothing the bias of the author who wrote it. <small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 03:22, 4 January 2015 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> | |||

- No action Both editors are responsible for edit warring, but Igor was the worse because he was fooling with somebody else's comments, and Neutralhomer was arguably justified in restoring his own comments.

Several IPs who may or may not be the same user keep on reverting two sections of the article: One is about what triggered the protests (it eventually turned out different sources actually make different claims about this), the other is a sentence about counterprotests.

- Comment: The part the ip claims to be the reason for the reverts was PEGIDA was founded in Dresden by a twelve-member group in response to plans to build new refugee centres in Dresden, which I based on the sentence Mr Bachmann started PEGIDA in October to protest plans to add 14 centres for roughly 2000 refugees in Dresden. from this source, which was used in the article before I ever edited it. Not sure about why the ip did have to revert other parts of said article.

User has reverted other users, without ensuing discussion, on The Pinkprint numerous times within 24-hours and has been warned against said edits. They're also acting in force of owning the article as it is the primary article they've edited since joining the site days ago. User was warned, with attempt to discuss within warnings; user ignored warnings, instead, removing them from their talk page. livelikemusic 01:23, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
- First observations:
- Removing warnings isn't ignoring them. In fact, removing warnings is not only allowed, but it is prima facie evidence that the user in question has seen those warnings.

His edition became the final version and I did not change anything when my edition was reverted by him. It is like what I claimed in edition summary the previous edition"will be my last edition". That means I stopped to edit anything when somebody immediately revert my edition. After that, I did not do anything. I did not change again when somebody revert the edition three times.

- Comment: It's clearly 4 reverts of the same material in a 24-hour period. But I have this question: What is the issue that's being discussed here? Can you summarize what the substantive difference is between the two versions? Jsharpminor (talk) 00:22, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
- Comment: This and the below report are the same thing. Both reports are correct. Miracle Dream and Curtis Naito are both edit warring here. Jsharpminor (talk) 00:28, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
- Comment: It is about the Nanking massacre. In Feburary, there are two month discussion about this topic. At last, the consensus is neutrally to keep all claim from different scholars. Hence, the result in article Nanking Massacre is " The death toll has been actively contested among scholars since the 1980s, with typical estimates ranging from 40,000 to over 300,000." or "During this period, between 40,000 to over 300,000 (estimates vary) Chinese civilians and disarmed combatants were murdered by soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army." Then editors tried to use this summary edit all articles related to Nanking Massacre which include article Battle of Nanking. However user Curtis Naito rewrote this article by ignoring the previous discussion. The discussion before is Talk:Nanking_Massacre/Archive_8). Curtis Naito joined the 2 month discussion before. After this rewritten, the figure is "Though the Japanese also committed random acts of murder, rape, looting, and arson during their occupation of Nanking, military historian Masahiro Yamamoto notes that of the more than 40,000 corpses buried in and around Nanking after the fall of the city only 129 were women or children which suggests that the large majority of the victims of the massacre were adult Chinese men taken by the Japanese as former soldiers and massacred." Please see this version . Then in December, I added contents again and keep the figures following the main article Nanking Massacre. After some version changed, the article became current version.

- I am very confused here. 10 months ago, we have a long discussion which involved more than 10 users. At last, we spent 2 months to reach the consensus. Now someone want to change the article, then we need to discuss again? Hence, it made previous consensus become totally useless by this theory. Then after 10 months, many users in that discussion left wiki. It is unfair to those users who joined the discussion before.Miracle dream (talk)

- The information in the article had been stable for many months and at the time I thought it was inappropriate that contentious edits be added to the article when three of the five participants in the talk page were clearly opposed. In the talk page of the article, only two people agreed that a consensus among Misplaced Pages users had ever been reached which should appropriately have been applied to this article. Most were against the change and even those who remained neutral disagreed that any previous consensus had ever been reached. It seems I did go over three reverts once over a week ago on 15 December 2014, but that was before the talk page discussion had started and I stopped reverting after receiving a warning on my talk page on 27 December 2014.CurtisNaito (talk) 00:50, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Remark from user: Every single addition, or even request for reference gets removed. For example: the position of Australia on this case is clear, as can be seen in: link Yet upon adding it to the article it gets removed with the reason "Disingenous remarks - please do not lump Australia's government together with the blatantly denialist countries like Turkey and Azerbaijan. In Australia there are genocide memorials and commemorations that gov. officials take part in each year" The position of the government of Australia is clear, and properly sourced in the Misplaced Pages article. You should not blame me for an edit war, but ask the user removing it why such properly sourced information is removed.--Behzat (talk) 23:55, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Comments:
I have provided several clear explanations in my edit summaries. There has been no explanation at all on Beyond My Ken's side, the first revert even lacked a revert indication in its edit summary. As this is not a content dispute (matter of taste), but de facto just rollback abuse, I don't think there is need for a talkpage discussion at this point. FDMS 4 00:10, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
- BMK reverted twice. Is this page under 1RR? If not, this report is utterly frivolous. Also, I disagree that it wasn't an improvement; collapsing a large template is a good idea, and having the more conventional link to a commons category, with some decent formatting to boot, seems like a good idea - and even if it isn't, it is worth discussing. It is also possible that BMK hit rollback instead of undo (easy enough mistake to make), and since you've not bothered to contact him to discuss the reasons, you are also breaching WP:AGF. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 00:22, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
- I know that 2 < 3, which is why I didn't report it as a 3RR violation. The situation would be entirely different if someone else reverted me, even without any edit summary. I don't think that a user with a long history of good- as well as bad-faith editing (judging by his contribs and block log) accidentally undos without providing a reason and then accidentally rollbacks. There is nothing really to discuss on the article talkpage here, both versions are fine, but replacing one with another is just an invalid edit. The situation would also be entirely different if one party believes that one version is a wrong version, but as I provided a link to WP:LAY this should not be the case. FDMS 4 00:31, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
- No violation. FDMS4, you reverted twice as well, and three reverts does not violate WP:3RR; four does. Your other arguments have no merit at all.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:46, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

- Comments: I have to admit I am quite surprised, as well as confused, by this report filed by Msnicki. I spent the majority of my time on Misplaced Pages yesterday working recent changes patrol. As Drmies pointed out, a once over of the edits would have revealed what was actually going on. Three of the articles were being hit by problematic edits as well as vandalism. Two of the articles I came to during recent changes patrol. The Breaking Bad article is on my watchlist because of a recent history of problematic IP edits, In fact, the IP who kept reverting a change there ended up vandalizing the article because he wasn't getting what he wanted. After looking into his claims I corrected the article accordingly. At the Shema Yisrael article, I explained to the problematic IP through edit summaries with each reversion why the article couldn't reflect what they were reverting back in. I went to the IPs talk page to explain. I even went so far as to ask for advice at the MOS talk page regarding what appeared to be a breach of MOS in the IPs edits. These were not a result of edit warring behavior, it was article protection from problem IPs and vandalism. As far as the Robin Williams article goes, Calidum is correct: it has been an article prone to problematic IP edits and edit warring by new contributors since August. And I wasn't the only editor reverting the changes of the unresponsive, non-communicative, and very persistent IP edit warrior who has been there for the last couple of days. Pretty much all of the edits I reverted yesterday were due to obvious vandalism, problematic edits, suspicious IP edits - and most of them had no edit summary explaining their edits. I left numerous warnings, welcomes, and comments on the talk pages of those users as well as in the edit summaries. My reasons for reversion were clear. And, honestly, when Msnicki put the edit warring warning on my talk page, my first reaction was, "Is she kidding?" and then, "This must be a knee-jerk retaliation for reverting her edit at the Robin Williams article". But I never thought she would actually come here. As I said above, a quick look at my edits yesterday would have made it clear that edit warring behavior wasn't what was actually happening. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 17:49, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
- I think I know which IP editor Winkelvi is talking about, and I have left a note on User talk:70.190.229.97: they're the one who could have been reported here, with some justification. Drmies (talk) 18:18, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
- Not one of your reverts to Robin Williams is exempt as a revert of "'obvious vandalism" (emphasis in the original) as required by WP:3RRNO. You're not allowed an exemption because you think you're merely enforcing what you think is the consensus or because you think someone else is edit-warring. Content disputes are not exempt.
- Two of your reverts to Robin Williams, numbers 1 and 3, were to revert edits back from "active" → "years_active" in the Template:Infobox comedian. But you were wrong both times. The correct name of the field is "active", not "years_active".
- Every other revert, numbers 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, was clearly over a content dispute not involving vandalism. In two of the reverts, number 4 and 8, you were restoring an "influenced" field in the infobox based on claim of talk page consensus that, having looked at it more closely this morning, seems questionable.
- I haven't gone through each of the edits to those other articles but brought them to the discussion to point up what appears to be a pattern where an inordinate number of your edits are reverts. Other editors experience that as chilling, as if you've set yourself up as the gatekeeper for the article. That's unhelpful and I think you should change your behavior. Msnicki (talk) 18:54, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
Comment This simply looks like @Winkelvi: is doing something most of us should be doing - reverting vandalism. I don't see any immediate issue. It certainly doesn't look like he's trying to push a POV or anything, he's simply reverting common vandalism. I'd urge him to not try to communicate in edit summaries and ensure that he's reporting the vandals. Otherwise, perhaps we should move on. Dusti 18:40, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
- One of the IP editors most active at the Robin Williams article has been 70.190.229.97 (talk · contribs). They've only been here for the last seven days, but in that amount of time they have chosen to clear their talk page five times. This is one of the people that Winkelvi was reverting. I suggest that User:Msnicki should study the last 100 edits at Robin Williams more carefully, and consider the wisdom of withdrawing this complaint. Certainly an admin would give some consideration to semiprotecting the article, given that so few of the recent IP edits have been helpful. EdJohnston (talk) 18:50, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
- I count 5 of the 9 reverts as reverts of 70.190.229.97 (talk · contribs). But two of the reverts were simply wrong, reverting "active" back to "years_active" in the infobox. The other were clearly content disputes not protected by WP:3RRNO. If the IP editor is being disruptive, the answer is not to edit war him, it's to take it to the talk page to establish consensus or bring it here. You don't get to revert edits because someone made other edits you didn't like or because you think they're more active than you like or because they clear their talk page. They're allowed to do that. Msnicki (talk) 19:07, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
- I count zero reverts of vandalism in that list. Which of those revert(s) I listed do you believe should be exempt under WP:3RRNO? Msnicki (talk) 19:11, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
- On his talk page, User:Winkelvi has now agreed to take a one-month break from the Robin Williams article and its talk page. I suggest that an admin could close the 3RR complaint without a block on that basis, since that ensures that the war reported here won't continue. EdJohnston (talk) 19:36, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
- Comment: Regarding Shema Yisrael, an anon SPA 86.174.88.109 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) showed up favoring "G_d" over "God" in a brief edit-war spurt of a few minutes. This could, technically, be viewed as a "content dispute" or something similar, but the consensus on such issues is so well-established, and frankly, so well-known, that the SPA really should be viewed as a vandal, especially considering his only explanation has been the repeated deliberately misleading "Fixed typo" Edit Summary.

1. While debated, there has never a consensus to include Israel in the infobox, either as a belligerent or map legend. See https://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Syrian_Civil_War/Israel and https://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Syrian_Civil_War#Israeli_support_for_Syrian_rebels
2. This has long been in the infobox: <--DO NOT ADD ISRAEL. PER Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/3RRArchive215#User:DIREKTOR reported by User:FutureTrillionaire (Result: See below), ANYONE WHO ADDS ISRAEL WILL IMMEDIATELY BE BLOCKED. -->
3. Large warning template about 1RR here: https://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Syrian_Civil_War and WARNING Editors of this article are restricted to 1 revert per 24 hours when reverting logged-in users, in accordance with a July 2013 motion and community consensus on August 2013. See this page for further details. Violations of this restriction will lead to blocks or other sanctions (such as page or topic bans)." when you open the edit window.
4. I've reverted a change by the IP to the location of Iraqi Kurdistan in the infobox, but that is not as clear cut on edit warring, so I'm not raising it here at this time. Seeking appropriate sanctions for the IP. This change should not be made period, and definitely not 3 times, twice in one day.
- Comment: The user was not warned until after all the edits listed here. I'm not even sure there were two reverts -- there is no clear description above. 'Reverted by Ekograf' -- how does that tell us if the IP edit was a revert? Try asking the user on their talk page what they were attempting to do. When you talk about adding Israel -- does that mean there is consensus to *not* put the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on the map? If so please link to where that consensus was found. EdJohnston (talk) 07:26, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
- Each of the three diffs provided make nearly identical changes to the map legend - to add "Israel" as a party to the Syrian Civil War in the legend of the map. This and similar proposals have been extensively discussed at the linked locations. I don't think the IP has discussed this change anywhere (at least as the IP). Comment 2 is a warning long embedded in the infobox, plus other warnings listed. No reason to edit war with all the bold warnings around the article. User:EkoGraf reverted Diff 2 and 3. I reverted Diff 1 (the newest). Sorry if my report was not clear enough. I think a warning will suffice here, and hopefully the IP will start communicating. Legacypac (talk) 12:29, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
- Result: The IP editor is warned that this template is under WP:1RR per the Syrian Civil war sanctions. Any changes to the template need to have consensus, especially if they mention Israel. EdJohnston (talk) 16:34, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

This user is behaving disruptively, apparently as a result of a grudge they have developed against me (see immediately above). This article is far outside their usual sphere of editing of popular culture articles, and I believe they are removing the prod tag merely to provoke. They have now reverted my placement of the tag four times in half an hour. 200.83.101.225 (talk) 17:30, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
- Elsewhere I urged SchroCat to help bring the temperature down, not up, and I'm closing this report in hopes of achieving that purpose. The technicalities of PROD removal and good-faith and all that are exciting, and we'll discuss that over beers. This edit war, however, is over; I have put the article up at AfD and have no wish to see anyone blocked over any of this. So I'm going to close this report, and if anyone wants to drag me to ANI for admin abuse, so be it. Happy holidays to everyone, and I wish you many fun edits.

IP hopping edit warrior who, at first, insisted on inserting unreferenced content numerous times (also as IPs 106.185.32.199 and 81.240.173.140. Policy on referencing has been explained to him several times. Warnings have been placed on each IPs talk page. He has come to my talk page to discuss - everything has been explained to him there, as well. Is now inserting references to Misplaced Pages articles - it has been explained that Misplaced Pages articles can't be used as references. Refuses to stop inserting unreferenced and improperly referenced content, reverts and edit wars instead. I don't expect the improperly reference content insertion to stop any time soon as he seems intent on going against policy. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 06:45, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Has now obtained a different IP address and readded the same content to the same article as well as vandalizing my talk page. If you look at the newest IP's user contributions, you will see that he has a history of being disruptive - even at Jimbo Wales' talkpage (see here: ). He did the same at Jimbo's talkpage a few months ago as one of the other IPs listed above. This obviously all goes beyond edit warring and adding unreferenced content. Looks like WP:LTA. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 07:01, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

- Comment ✉ winkelvi completely abuses his power and is not open to discus matters in an open and academic manner. I tried to have an open discussion with him about the sources of the hard work i had completed but he preferred to delete the work rather than contribute in helping me to improve it. I find this attitude oounterproductive and against the ethos of wikipedia. I completely appreciate that suitable reference are required, however wikelvi deleted the page and work before I had a chance to improve it meaning I lost all my work. Also the references exist in spanish and are accepted on the spanish version of the page. I think it is rather inappropriate to exist any language that is not english from being referenced. If you only accept references in english for a page about a country which is not english speaking you largely.limit the quality of the page to poorly informed second hand sources.
To conclude I would like to formally complain about the conduct of winkelvi — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.6.125.2 (talk) 07:54, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

- ???? This is without evidence, please provide references. You are making assumptions without evidence, the very thing that you criticize others for. I guess you wouldnt like it if someone deleted your post, because you would feel its true and well researched. You would feel that they should discuss it with you first? I think you should learn to justify you accusations before making wild and slanderous claims. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.39.75.91 (talk) 08:18, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
- Result: Article semiprotected. At least one of the four IPs is User:Bosnipedian. The other three IPs are from different continents which may just indicate the evasion prowess of Bosnipedian. So instead of blocking Winkelvi for going overboard, I'm applying two months of semi. Winkelvi is advised not to keep this up indefinitely, since breaking 3RR causes a lot of bells to ring.

What was restored was the version of the page that includes both opinions, while bladesmulti has been removing differing opinions which is disruptive. Technically vandalism was the wrong word for it since his edits seems sincere if not well thought over. He is doing the same thing on the page https://en.wikipedia.org/Alvars Bladesmulti has been contributing POVs from his (presumably) Vaishnav Hindu background and erasing things he disagrees with without engaging in any debate. This is the case on multiple pages. His revisions have been destructive to several pages and have required reverting. He has a history of pushing this POV in at least one other article as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Hinduism_and_Judaism The erasing of verifiable material to push an agenda or worldview is antithetical to wikipedia's purpose. This is why bladesmulti has already been reported at least once for Misplaced Pages:TE. Iṣṭa Devata (talk) 00:53, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
- Those three reverts clearly seems to have been made under 24 hours, and in fact 2 hours. It is also obvious that you are going to revert again if your POV version has been reverted. Show me where I haven't discussed? None of your above irrelevant nonsense has anything to do with your disruptive editing on Malasana, I have not erased any verifiable material, yet you are not only removing references but also removing category, image, etc. because you don't like them. Have I mentioned your deliberate incompetence that you don't even know what is the meaning of vandalism. Bladesmulti (talk) 01:02, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
- The section you had added, Malasana#Additional Notes, it looks like a hoax. Are you here for promoting false information and hoax? Bladesmulti (talk) 01:09, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
Look up the pose in any traditional yoga book (Light on Yoga, Yoga Mala, Dharma Mittra's book, Srivatsa Ramaswami's book, etc.)and you will see that the picture was of upavesasana since mālāsana (traditionally) has the big toes together. The pose name also appears in the Sritattvanidhi from the Mysore Palace and is spelled with long ā meaning garland, not poop. The use of James Mallinson was a place holder because there is apparently no serious academic discussion proposing the poop theory. Not to mention anything named asana had to be usable for ashtanga yoga. No other 'asana' is for anything other than asana practice. These points are all made on malasana's talk page, which you haven't been participating in. The page already included both opinions the way it was. Your reversion to restore a picture completely removed months of work.Iṣṭa Devata (talk) 01:17, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
- Claiming that you have gained your hoax through the "private emails" from James Mallinson is not helpful, it cannot be considered as a citation. Doesn't matter how long it took you to create your crackpot theories, since it seems disruptive and hasn't improved the page, but only removed reliable citations, category, image, and promoted hoax. Bladesmulti (talk) 01:27, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
- Result: No violation. There are not enough reverts to violate 3RR. Please try to reach agreement on the talk page. If either party continues to revert it may lead to a block. EdJohnston (talk) 01:55, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

Comments:
This user was engaged in edit warring at Donetsk People's Republic and Lugansk People's Republic. He made numerous reverts with no intention to discuss it. He was reported here and blocked for 24 hours (see: Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/3RRArchive266#User:Антон патріот reported by User:Herzen (Result: Blocked)). As soon as the block expired, he made two more reverts (those are also reported in the case I linked). For this, he was blocked for 72 hours. During this time, me and other editors tried to explain to Антон патріот to stop edit warring and to discuss every dispute at the talk page (see: User_talk:Антон_патріот#Discussion). He acknowledged that he read our comments, but he was not very cooperative. As soon as the second block expired, he made two more reverts (diffdiff). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vanjagenije (talk • contribs) 10:21, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
This is a malformed report. The two reverts are to different articles. He has only made one revert on each article since his block ending, not two. Furthermore, we have coaxed this guy to start participating in the talk page, where there is a discussion relevant to his edits.-- Toddy1 (talk) 11:24, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
- I agree. This can hardly be considered edit warring. The user made a controversial edit , but was immediately reverted . If this user was involved in edit warring, he would revert the page back (engage in edit warring), but his next edit was taken to the talk page . The purpose of a block is "to prevent a user from making disruptive edits, either in good faith or as vandalism." This user's edit were stubborn, but he went to the talk page over choosing to revert, which is not disruptive. "A block is not intended as punishment". Sure, the user did edit war in the past, but I really doubt this qualifies.--BoguSlav 17:26, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
- When you have a history of edit warring and your block expires, you don't immediately revert and when reverted go to the Talk page, you immediately go to the Talk page without reverting, even once.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:40, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
- Blocked – for a period of two weeks. The report may not be perfectly filed, but it is not malformed. Even one revert after block expiration is sufficient to reblock. Here there were two to two different articles. The editor's comment on one of the Talk pages is hardly the stuff of collaboration.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:49, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

- Another edit war halted after intervention by Yngvadottir and an edit by Bilby which supplied the valid context the IP has been asking for since July. Yes, edit warring, sure; yes, a bit of inflammatory rhetoric, sure; but also a valid point that was not addressed in all these reverts. If a simple majority establishes consensus and is not required to actually address any problems we will not make much improvement. Drmies (talk) 17:27, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
- Drmies, that edit war was not halted, as the IP reverted (or at least substantively reverted) his edits too. This editor has been previously banned, is conducting a bunch of determined, querulous and pointless edit wars across a bunch of completely unrelated articles apparently for the lulz, but seems to have the social skills to be able to con a couple more editors every time he comes back into taking him seriously enough to drag them out for another couple months. He needs to be banned again already. The Drover's Wife (talk) 00:10, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

He is now up to eight reverts in 24 hours. He has been previously blocked for three months for rampantly ignoring the 3RR as well as for his behaviour towards other users. This needs to be acted upon again. The Drover's Wife (talk) 04:07, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
- Result: Article semiprotected one month. The IP has broken 3RR and seems likely to continue their campaign. (They reverted again after User:Drmies left his comment above). It isn't the first time they have edit warred about the speech. If it were up to me I would remove the reference to the True Believer speech by Keating in 1993. People seem to remember the speech fondly but are unable to explain why it was significant. Anyone who wants to report the IP to SPI is encouraged to do so.

- I reverted too many times and I apologise for that. I was trying to make various different edits, all of which were being reverted by the cabal of editors who are bizarrely working hard to prevent the explanation of obscure Australian political references in the article.

@Drmies: and @Yngvadottir:, you're clearly both aware that this is a user with a habit of similar antics going back many years, a block log as long as my arm, and a clear intent to evade accountability for that as made abundantly clear because of his comments here. This is blatant trolling: make a point that sounds like it has the faintest touch of reason, rudely refuse any attempts at compromise or dealing with the request, and deliberately driving legitimate editors up the wall, spread over many topics and many years. I would like an explanation as to why you feel that hard rules like 3RR that apply to every other editor on this project do not apply to this user. And I'm aware that once again, in posting this, this user is getting exactly the reaction he wants, and that he's being utterly abetted in this by two legitimate editors is distressing.

- No breach of 3RR, (three reverts over three days) no warning left, other editor has reverted as many times, and against the long-standing status quo, all on grammatically dubious grounds. Editor needs to drop the stick and walk away here. – SchroCat (talk) 19:49, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

- No, there was no warning of 3RR, so please don't mislead people with false statements.
- Please don't throw around unfounded accusations of ownership. I disagree with you in respect of one word (as does another user on the talk page): that is not uncivil, and it is a personal attack to make such an unfounded allegation. – SchroCat (talk) 10:50, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
- Declined. I know editors at Misplaced Pages have a penchant for bickering over some of the most unimportant things, but arguing over grammar in a film plot section? Please give it a rest. There's no breach of 3RR here, not even close. To the extent there is an edit war, both parties are equally culpable. I'm not even going to suggest that you work it out on the Talk page, although that normally is the place to start. Why don't you find another way to word the sentence without using may or could?

Editor's repeated claims of "BLP violation" or "Fringe" or "OR" in specific detail to the operation of an investigative grand jury and is sourced to Paul G. Cassell a former United States federal judge, who is a professor at the law school of the University of Utah. He is best known as an expert in and proponent of the rights of crime victims and has wrote extensively on the case.
Page is under discretionary sanctions. Consensus that it is not a BLP violation or Fringe material. Additional details covered by @Isaidnoway: includes half a dozen other legal professionals including already cited within the article. Discussions include Talk:Shooting of Michael Brown#Misplaced Pages voice - lack of attribution and others. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 19:17, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
- Said source is a primary source posted in the Volokh Conspiracy, a news blog, propagating the fringe theory that the Ferguson grand jury merely investigated the incident without investigating crimes. This also falls under
BLPPRIMARYBLPSPS. Complainant also refuses to mention attempts to resolve the dispute on the talk page, where I explained my rationale on the talk page: . No attempt was made to resolve my BLP concerns on the talk page in question, instead I was warned on my talk page under DS before this was forwarded to 3RRN. I've already made a post at BLPN, as I believe this is a pretty obvious violation of BLP and this shouldn't fall under 3RR. --RAN1 (talk) 19:38, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
- Your opinion that the opinion is fringe is nothing more than your opinion. There is no official viewpoint or scientific consensus to be fringe to. Its not a primary source, and in any case is not revealing any personal information about anyone so I am unsure why you are bringing up BLPPRIMARY. The opinions are largely about a process, not a person, and are defending the process, so your claims that this is somehow a BLP issue seem pretty weak. Gaijin42 (talk) 19:42, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
- The Volokh Conspiracy is a blog-format with editorial control (not self published) with contributors being almost exclusively law professors and prominent judges who write on legal matters. The Washington Post hosts the relevant material since it is normally paywalled. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 20:07, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
- I noticed that I put in BLPPRIMARY instead of BLPSPS, which is what I meant to say. I've reverted myself since apparently it's disputed whether this article is about a BLP-heavy event. The grand jury was under the direction of McCulloch and his named prosecutor team, on the case of Wilson shooting Brown. That's a fairly BLP-heavy article and considering there's been BLP disputes about the implications of how the grand jury was operated would have on McCulloch's professional reputation, this falls under BLP so 3RR shouldn't apply here. The official viewpoint is that the grand jury chose not to indict because they saw all the evidence and found that there was no probable cause . The fringe theory Cassell propagates is that the grand jury investigates without the premise of crime when grand juries are actually assembled to try and determine felonies and investigate all crimes as noted in the Missouri Constitution . Btw, as noted on the Volokh Conspiracy's own website, they have full editorial control, ergo they are self-published. Even if this isn't a violation of FRINGE, it's still a violation of BLPSPS. --RAN1 (talk) 20:42, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

- Yeah, and we removed them because they were mostly self-published opinions by experts and consensus was against including them, something which I am adhering to now.

Comments:
Long term edit-warring to remove references to Kurds being an "Iranian people" in the article's lead, and also, in the lead, to make Kurdish "languages" singular. User has made 17 edits to article since July all of which are to do this (except 5 of them are the user amending or adding to a revert he's just made). Because 12 reverts are involved it seemed more sensible to link to the wmflabs report than to cut and paste all diffs here. Hope that's ok. User's campaign really began in November and intensified from 22 December. On 29 December he was eventually persuaded to enter discussion on the talk page but seems to have given up on this and began reverting again on 31 December with this and this. From contribs it appears is engaged in similar POV edit warring on related articles. DeCausa (talk) 09:29, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Also troubling is that content is being removed for reasons that are out side of policy. For example, in this edit, content was removed because "This is not Knights BLP, and BLPPRIMARY in anycase", however when I removed the rest of the Kenny Knight content here, Gaijin42 reverted it. Also, the source in the previous edit is a secondary source (local newspaper), so BLPPRIMARY would not apply.- MrX 15:14, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
I claim the BLP exception for all of these diffs.
- Diff #2 is unsourced and contains clear NPOV editorializing completely inappropriate for a BLP.
- Diff #3 is BLPPRIMARY, and further about a person other than the subject of this article
- this entire section is based on a blog, who found an anonymous forum posting on the stormfront website. Others have subsequently reprinted the allegations raised in the blog, but the entire section is a huge BLP risk imo. In any case, the other diffs are removing reliably sourced opinions and facts which provide WP:NPOV balance including statements directly from those involved in the controversy.
I suggest this report be put into abeyance. I will be taking the entire section to WP:AE shortly to resolve these issues. If I have acted out of line the boomerang will surely be coming. Gaijin42 (talk) 15:16, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
- Diff #2 is unsourced, but it is not contentious and it is easily verifiable.In fact, other sources already in the article support it. So, actually it is sourced, just not with an adjacent inline citation.
- Diff #3 is not BLPPRIMARY AFAIK. The source is a newspaper (see my comments above).
- The section is based on ~307 news sources, according to Google. Many controversies arise out of blogs, forums, telephone calls, letters, stained dresses, etc. We follow reliable sources.- MrX 15:35, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
- "indicating he supposedly does not research where he will speak or who he speaks to" you think is appropriate editorialization and is sufficiently sourced? Gaijin42 (talk) 15:46, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
- Actually, Scalise himself said ""I was without the advantages of a tool like Google. It's nice to have those," (sourcesource), so the content while awkwardly worded, is consistent with his own words.- MrX 16:18, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
- "indicating he supposedly does not research where he will speak or who he speaks to" you think is appropriate editorialization and is sufficiently sourced? Gaijin42 (talk) 15:46, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
Here is the AE post Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Request_concerning_MrX
- This is pretty obviously vexatious.- MrX 16:21, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
Also, for diff #2, this is the diff that I attempted to revert, which is even more obviously a violation but the same editor changed their own post prior to me pushing the twinkle button so both edits were reverted. But that even more strongly puts that diff into the BLP exception. Gaijin42 (talk) 16:10, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, you also removed valid content. Dumbo779 self reverted the editorializing here. - MrX 16:21, 2 January 2015 (UTC), 16:27, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
Note: Diff 2 is removal of an unsourced contentious claim about a living person. (Scalise claimed he did not know it was a racist gathering, indicating he supposedly does not research where he will speak or who he speaks to. is not sourced, and I would not believe anyone who says the claim as made is not "contentious") Thus WP:BLP directly applies to diff 2. Gaijin42 hit 3RR and not 4RR as a result. Collect (talk) 20:01, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
Request withdrawn - I am withdrawing this report as Gaijin42 and I have agreed to a mutual 1RR restriction for 30 days on Steve Scalise, as documented here. Thank you. - MrX 20:10, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:
Comments:
After the first revert, deleting a paragraph from the Background section, I reworded the paragraph to remove any possible suggestion that the APC/ACF were being described as supporters of Boko Haram, as he appeared to think. I then opened the discussion on his talk page.
He replied here that "the word 'Boko Haram' is not in the reference you cited", revealing that he hadn't even looked at the reference ("Boko Haram" is in the title, and repeated throughout), before deleting the paragraph.
He states repeatedly in all his responses that the reference does not claim that the APC are supporters of Boko Haram, but as I repeatedly point out, the article does not claim that they are! He claims repeatedly that because I quote the founder of the APC speaking about jihad, I am claiming that the APC support Boko Haram. eg here, "it is naive to believe that every Muslim group that says 'Jihad' automatically support Boko Haram". I have tried to WP:AGF, and reminded him repeatedly that the article doesn't say or imply anything that the reference doesn't. Without attempting to refute this, he simply replies each time that it does indeed claim or imply that they support BH, without explaining why he thinks this, eg "why does the wikipedia article imply that they do support Boko Haram?".
His other "complaint" is "what does any of the following have to do with Boko Haram?", to which I reply here that it "describes the long-term background of Islamic militancy in the north of the country" and again here that "a couple of sentences to describe the main political group representing the interests of northern Nigeria is hardly undue."
I began 100% assuming good faith, and I am sorely disappointed. His initial failure to even glance at the reference, followed by his repeated refusal to recognise the fact that the background section of an article contains background, and that the section in question doesn't say (or imply) anything that the reference doesn't, have left me with no option but to report his behaviour here. When he said "I don't need to prove a negative, you job is to prove that APC supports Boko Haram" two minutes before reverting for the third time, it became clear that a) it is completely hopeless trying to communicate with him, and b) he firmly believes that he can remove any sourced material he doesn't like for whatever spurious reason. zzz (talk) 02:13, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
And, by the way, this, "Again, everyone who says Jihad does not equal support of Boko Haram and I also see you are on a crusade to delete articles about other radical Muslim groups in Nigeria" appears to me at least to be a completely unwarranted and offensive personal attack. zzz (talk) 02:32, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

- Thank you Bishonen, but there is a centralised discussion taking place amongst the other editors including Drmies at the K-pop wiki-project and in other articles as well where discussions have taken place and consensus formed. The MO of the reported user is typical of socks which blindly revert without communication. But the edits of this account are not enough for me to open an SPI as yet. This type of behaviour has plagued K-pop articles for years. A very similar case is just above where Kely123 got blocked for a week. Δρ.Κ. 19:06, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

I am the person who reverted to my own edit, twice. I had no idea of 'edit warring;' and have no intention of such. My first reversion was to undo a reversion effectively by script (and a user who only got editing permissions yesterday, I learn from his own page).
The second was to point out that the original citation was about mice stressed to an extreme of cold. The citation (though not the article itself) implies a serious medical condition (atherosclerosis) may affect adult humans (being the subject of that section of the page). There are no grounds to assert that comfortable acclimation by humans to moderate reductions in ambient temperatures is in any way comparable to an extreme test done on mice!
There is an article at http://www.jci.org/articles/view/68993 which shows that several SHORT term tests at moderate conditions have shown useful results and no harm, though long term tests are still wanting, as that article and many other state. For now, I request that you let my edit stand, until someone does it better. This is better than removing it and leaving people worrying about atherosclerosis when they should be thinking about a careful reduction in their own weight and their consumption of energy. It is far better that people learn that more human-based research is needed, instead of being forced to fall back on scare stories about extreme tests on mice!86.169.134.161 (talk) 20:26, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

This user is has been edit warring for a very long time. He/She has been reported here and here. A page protection and two blocks weren't enough for them to stop. I am running out of options as they always seem to return with the same editing and edit warring. I would rather lose my privileges to stop this user than let them get away with it.

Editor has engaged in multiple revert wars on this article in one 24 hour period. The BLP issue with asserting that a choke hold was the conclusive cause of death is that multiple agencies (NYPD, Medical Examiner's Office, Richmond County Grand Jury, NYPD PBA, Officer Pantaleo) dispute that a chokehold was in fact used. Since Daniel Pantaleo is alive, along with other police and EMT, they must be afforded the protections of WP:BLP. This editor is being reported for a violation of 3RR. He or she did not make any attempt to discuss this issue on the talk page before making the 4th revert. Afronig (talk) 23:36, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
- I honestly can't tell whether this is a complete report or not, but I'll go ahead and answer. This incident started when Afronig removed sourced material as to Eric Garner's cause of death with no explanation and continued to remove the information despite being asked to discuss the matter on the article's talk page. The material that this editor continues to remove has been heavily discussed on the article's talk page. It represents the verbatim conclusion of the medical examiner's report as to the cause of Eric Garner's death. Notably, a number of editors have recently engaged in an attempt to debunk the notion that the medical examiner actually included the disputed term "choke hold" in the report, only to be informed by the medical examiner's office that the term in fact appears in the report. Afronig has declined to participate in this discussion—which would have been an excellent forum for him/her to air his/her concerns and to see that they've probably already been addressed—and has simply edit warred to impose his/her own preference on the page over consensus.
- I'll also note that Afronig templated me well after I'd stopped editing the page. Afronig's purported effort at discussion were subsequent to his/her repeated removal of sourced, consensus material with no regard for WP:BRD and were accompanied by what appears to be an ultimatum that I restore his/her edit or face a report on this board. I can't imagine how Afronig can honestly accuse me of not discussing the matter under these circumstances.
- Finally, it looks like I did technically violate 3RR due to an edit that I'd made yesterday afternoon (and had subsequently forgotten about) involving a different claim and a different user. It's my responsibility to ensure that I'm not violating 3RR (even inadvertently) so I will accept whatever sanction I receive. However, I would ask that the Afronig receive the same; while he/she hasn't violated 3RR as of right now, his/her edits are certainly edit warring and his/her hands are hardly clean. Dyrnych (talk) 23:38, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
All you have to do is revert your revert before action is taken and this report will be rescinded. This report is complete as of your edit; apologies for my technical difficulties. If a third party endorses your reversion I won't revert (even though I might be able to revert 1 more time since I only reverted twice compared to your 4 times, my intention is not to play games here or get people blocked. I do take BLP issues though very seriously.) Afronig (talk) 23:47, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
- Both Afronig and Dyrnych are Warned that if they continue their battle over the material they risk being blocked without notice. A couple of additional comments. First, @Afronig, there is no BLP violation here, not even close. The article appears to faithfully report the facts based on reliable sources. Second, I accept Dyrnych's explanation that they didn't mean to violate 3RR, but remember that you can be blocked for edit warring, which doesn't depend on the number of reverts.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:49, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you, Bbb23. Your warning and reminder are well taken. Dyrnych (talk) 23:54, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
Bbb23, I will "appeal" your assertion on the BLP violation to the BLP noticeboard. I also find your action here arbitrary and capricious. Namely, I suspect if the tables were turned and I had reverted 4 times and Dyrnych 2 times in a similar fashion, you would have blocked me and not warned Dyrnych for 2 reverts because of your personal ideology. In fact, your warning to Dyrnych here for 3 reverts on 1 issue and 1 revert on another was pretty mild and you knew I said I would not edit further, regardless of the technicalities of 3RR. It seems you deliberately took my words out of context. Regardless, the 3RR issue is moot but the BLP issue is not. I will file a notice on the BLP notice board which you are welcome to join.

Undue deletions
I would like to report ] making undue revisions to the Fine Tuned Universe page, deleting fleshed out explanations to the Design argument preventing a page with a full and thorough debate. Misplaced Pages wanted to improve the 'Misplaced Pages Creationism' section and having two sentences explaining the Design argument and 500 explaining the atheistic scientific argument is not balance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jfd998 (talk • contribs) 05:11, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

I would like to report that User:ThorpLove has made roughly six false edits on the 2014-15 NFL playoffs. He appears to be convinced, despite explanations of the NFL playoff format, that the Panthers are playing the Seahawks.

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: Signedzzz warning on Lipsquid's talk. Signedzzz's 3RR report above. Since Signedzzz just warned and filed a 3RR which was declined as no violation, it seems pretty hypocritical to promptly go over 3RR himself on the point. Not the first edit war between them. Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: and elsewhere.
Comments:I'm mainly watching the article page, not edit warring here. No opinion on the merits of one version vs the other.
Yes, I accidentally went over 3RR, so as to specifically direct the user to discuss on talk per BRD. After filing the detailed request last night, so as to avoid this, which I knew was going to happen, I forgot to count my reverts for last 24 hours, assuming that I was still safe. Last night when I filed my report I was on 2 and he was on 3. Now I am on 4 and he is on 5. I should have stopped when I was on 3 and he was on 4. I apologise for my mistake. zzz (talk) 18:43, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
At least I didn't have to fill in this report again, which took me hours last night. zzz (talk) 18:48, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
- When I filed the report both editors were at 4 (8 reverts total), but now Lipsquid's gone to 5, so I've updated. Suggest an RfC as this is a fairly high profile article with many involved editors. Legacypac (talk) 18:50, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
- I've looked at the article and the source in detail around the disputed edit and reported my findings. My assessment is that Lipsquid's edit is quite justified and that Signedzzz is following WP:OWN and not the RS's by reverting. I also note that going back at least a few weeks Signedzzz has been pushing a similar point on another part of the article, reflecting a failure to follow sources. Legacypac (talk) 04:14, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- Legacypac, you say above that I am "hypocritical" and that I am "pushing" a "similar point" in some other part of the article. These accusations are not relevant here. Please clarify this one point:
- Which RS's am I not following in the disputed paragraph (which cited only one ref, cited in my report above)? zzz (talk) 05:55, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- missed a word. Possessive not plural. the RS's information. Legacypac (talk) 06:13, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- Oh you missed a word. So, which piece of information in the paragraph is not in the source? zzz (talk) 06:17, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- The info and quote is in the source, but it was placed out of context in a way that is potentially misleading to the reader. It is off topic to the Boko Haram article. Legacypac (talk) 06:28, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- So a couple of sentences to describe the main political group representing the interests of northern Nigeria, who have a military and intelligence capability, and are suspected of involvement in sectarian riots, is misleading and off-topic in the background section of the Boko Haram article, and must be deleted. Is that what you are claiming? zzz (talk) 06:35, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- The thing is, if you're right, why was the information in the source? Is the source misleading and off-topic? Do you have a source for that? zzz (talk) 06:41, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- "It was placed out of context" - how do you come to think that? The source was an article about the background of Boko Haram. The context it was placed in was the background section of the Misplaced Pages article. Please explain how this is "out of context". zzz (talk) 06:49, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- Since you've now edited the section in the article to remove the information you find to be misleading and off-topic, and accused me of various things including not following the source(s), please explain your reasoning. zzz (talk) 07:14, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- And, briefly, what "similar point" have I been "pushing" in another section of the article? zzz (talk) 07:37, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- Since you have accused me of hypocrisy, incompetence and falsifying sources, please explain. zzz (talk) 08:06, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- I have not edited the article recently except a one letter typo. Everything else is explained above. If you wish to have a content despite take that to the article talk. Legacypac (talk) 08:23, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- You explained what exactly? What "similar point" have I been "pushing" in another section of the article, for example? zzz (talk) 08:35, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- You've weighed in on the article talk page agreeing with everything User:Lipsquid says (of course), but it's got nothing to do with the article. zzz (talk) 08:42, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- I looked at both editors versions and the source, then at your arguments and found my assessment is pretty close to Lipsquid's assessment. I just reported my findings to the 3RR report I started after I reviewed everything. Now please stop with the nattering here. Legacypac (talk) 09:15, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- Lipsquid's assessment: "the word 'Boko Haram' is not in the reference you cited." zzz (talk) 09:18, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- I'm convinced this editor can't read english. I said assessment, I did not say I agree with every word in their comments. Now stop the harassment please. Legacypac (talk) 09:46, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Comments:
The IP is removing sourced on-topic material on spurious grounds, and replacing it with entirely unsourced content. The recent history of the article suggests that a single contributor is behind a whole series of edits aimed at removing legitimate sourced content. AndyTheGrump (talk) 02:40, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
Update - the IP has now created an account, and has continued to edit-war: AndyTheGrump (talk) 02:43, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
That argument is ridiculous. AndyTheGrump prevents information with 'citations needed' from being removed barring legitimate links. I agree that the criticisms part of the intelligent design argument should stand and my edit was not right. However, I was totally right to remove the 'bubble universe' portion - two of the three paragraphs are unsourced, and the one quote that is sourced is not from a science journal even if it is passed off as such making it unreliable and misleading.
The one addition I made was to the proper section - intelligent design - and linked the article from whence the quote came while nothing the bias of the author who wrote it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.92.129.86 (talk) 03:22, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- The IP (now editing as User:Jfd998) is completely misrepresenting edits - note this unsourced edit, and this removal of sourced content.
