<u>Comments:</u>I see that this editor is no stranger to this noticeboard, and was previously blocked for edit warring in another article and warned three times for edit warring in still others. His behavior in this article has been nothing short of maddening, removing amply sourced content and edit-warring over it. I would like to build this article into Good Article and perhaps even Feature Article status, as the source material is ample (including a biography of Myerson that I own) but it is impossible if this editor makes nonsensical edits such as and edit wars over them. Myerson, the subject of a page one obit in the New York Times today, is a prominent person who is the subject of <s>two</s> three books, but her highly-trafficked article will remain stuck in "start" status if this tendentious conduct is not curbed. ] (]) 22:42, 6 January 2015 (UTC) <br /> The wall-o-text below bears me out. ] (]) 22:53, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
:I've made my position clear. There is NO source that supports your version that between October 2006 and January 2012 he was not a member of any group. The current version is both manipulative (goes from 2006 Mujahideen Shura Council straight to 2012 al-Nusra) and contradicts RS that mention him as member of ISI in that period. There are RS that support my version, none that supports yours. A revision that'd include "2008-2012 ISI" (which would bypass his prison years 2006-08) would be a better solution.

Very one-sided report. Look at the reporting editor's edits and reversions. All he's been doing is adding back in wording he prefers. Wording, I might add, that is extremely close and only slightly paraphrased from the references he's added. For a better idea of both sides of the discussion (which I started at the article talk page, by the way), I will re-post what I've already said there (winkelvi used the same behaviour in the constitucion article ]:
'''User being reported:''' {{userlinks|Shecose}}
*RE: Claim in article that she was a subject of anti-semitism and the Jewish community saw her MA win as a "seminal event". The attached reference says nothing of the kind. Anti-semitism is mentioned, but not in relation to Myerson's win. As well, nothing in the article gives proof that Jewish Americans felt her win was "seminal" nor that her win was affirmation. All the obit says is, "To many Jews...the title seemed an affirmation of some sort of acceptance in America." Note the words "To many Jews" and "seemed". Both qualify for ] status, and neither statements are supported by references. There are no sources attached to either statement that supports these obviously POV, emotional, and hyperbolic claims as being real or anything other than original research and personal opinion by the obit writer. What evidence do we have that the sponsors were actually anti-semitic? None. Both of these claims need to be removed as, even after a BLP article subject dies, ] policies still apply to the article for up to two years followig the article subject's death.
'''Previous version reverted to:'''
*RE: The Ha'Eretz reference used to support "anti-semitism": it is also POV. This would need to be supported by a non-biased source. There is no specificity in the article that gives context, just the claim of anti-semitism. Further, in reading throughly both the obituary and the Ha'Eretz article, you have taken WAY too much of both, paraphrased only slightly, and are bordering on plagiarism and ] with the prose and content you keep reverting back in from those articles. For reasons of borderline plagirism and copyvio along with the reasons per BLP guidelines stated above, I am also removing the content you keep putting back in.

*RE: Editor's claim that I am using POV to edit the article... My feelings have nothing to do with the article content. In fact, I personally lean toward the anti-semitism claim. But my feelings have nothing to do with fact. The feelings of the writers have nothing to do with fact. Making claims of anti-semitism 70 years after he fact with no real evidence of actual anti-semitism is as stupid and POV as the claims of those saying anyone who didn't vote for Barack Obama did so because they are anti-Black. And yes, you did lift content from those articles. It's easy to see. So no, not ridiculous at all.
Personally, I'd rather see this worked out at the article talk page (which is why I started discussion there yesterday before the reporting editor, in fact). Consensus building is a good thing, even a dispute noticeboard would be fine with me if the other editor doesn't wish to actually discuss and work this out. In light of ignoring BLP guidelines, his copyvios, close-paraphrasing lifted from references, and need to see the article only reflect his content and wording version while trying to take the article single-handedly to FA or GA status (as he admits above), I don't guess he will be willing to discuss properly and work things out. Hence, his reason for coming here instead, I suppose. -- <span style="text-shadow: 4px 4px 15px #0099FF, -4px -4px 15px #99FF00;">]</span> ● <span style="text-shadow: 4px 4px 15px #FF9900, -4px -4px 15px #FF0099;">] ]</span> 23:47, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

I find interesting the reporting editor keeps adding diffs to what he sees as edit warring on my part, but is failing to add diffs of his reverts to my edits. Personally, it seems to me that while we aren't agreeing with all of each others' edits, at this point we're just editing the article together and the article is improving little-by-little.

:I've not been reverting, you have. You're in excess of 3RR and have been working your will in the article almost entirely by edit warring. You used the revert tool to remove the word "cooperative" from the name of the housing project in which Myerson lived as a girl, without discussion, even though you were already well over 3RR. Your edit made something accurate into something inaccurate, but I didn't revert. This edit, insisting upon calling that housing project a "Yiddish housing project," without discussion, even after it was objected to, is revert-warring, and was not reverted by myself. The article currently contains this extremely questionable language, as the result of the edit warring that you've been engaged in. That's how you've edit-warred over one minor aspect of the article! It is, as I said, maddening. If that is your idea of "cooperative editing" you are mistaken. ] (]) 03:41, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
:*'''Comment''': "Yiddish housing cooperative" is certainly not a standard term. It's the exact opposite, in fact. Although its meaning is clear to those who know , it certainly does not belong in an encyclopedia. Frankly, the Bess Myerson article should merely link to ]. (I remark that this is a redirect I just created, but if we have ], we can have this too.)
:*One of Winkelvi's justified a reversion on the grounds that obituaries should not be relied in except for basic facts. He was rebuked by admins in this forum a few months ago when justifying some of his edit warring in ] for just this kind of second-guessing about obituary contents. That what's asserted from the source is POV, as Winkelvi claims, is irrelevant. NPOV stands for "Neutral" POV, not "Non" POV. If it seems to be stated in a hyperbolic manner, then phrasing it as "''Time'' said X" should be acceptable. ] (]) 15:09, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

*'''Comments and adding link''' to ] () I ask that anyone reading this report please look at the comments contained there. I have repeatedly tried to work with and reason with Coretheapple at the article talk page. His choice has been to make several personal attacks, even after I have asked him to stop doing so and instead talk only about bettering the article. Along with wrongly referring to himself and another editor trading talk page comments in the middle of the night over a span of an hour or so "consensus", his attacks and rude comments to me have been peppered with statements such as, "you have not read and/or comprehended"; "Please stop wasting everybody's time"; "we are adding relevant details, and this is clearly relevant, amply sourced, above dispute--except by you. Again, why are you wasting everybody's time"; "why are you wasting everybody's time"; "This discussion is utterly pointless...Please stop wasting people's time.". When I first went to Core's talk page early on when I was confused by one of his edit summaries, he answered rudely there as well: "And haven't you anything better to do than waste people's time? (page/section link here ). Yesterday, at Jimmy Wales' talk page he referred to me in the following manner: "a singularly difficult editor, which raises one of a number of issues I've seen discussed in the past year or so but never acted on. I.e., how to handle bad editors." (see diff: ). I have tried numerous times to work with Coretheapple yesterday, last night, today, on the article talk page. I've asked him to stop being rude and personally attacking me. I've even thanked him (via the "Send Thanks" option) for an edit today that was a particularly good addition. In spite of all this, Coretheapple chooses to remain tendentious, rude, angry, uncivil and non-collegial. All of this, in my opinion, shows that he not only refuses to work with me, but that this report isn't really about edit warring, it's about someone he has chosen to dislike editing an article he's taken an interest in. If it were the opposite, it stands to reason that he would have changed his tone hours ago based on the discussion I keep trying to have with him at the article talk page. -- <span style="text-shadow: 4px 4px 15px #0099FF, -4px -4px 15px #99FF00;">]</span> ● <span style="text-shadow: 4px 4px 15px #FF9900, -4px -4px 15px #FF0099;">] ]</span> 19:09, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

It is entirely possible that penguins in Antarctica have supported Boko Haram, to some unknown degree, but unless I have a reliable source that states "Penguins support Boko Haram", quotes about penguins belong on the penguins page and not on the Boko Haram page. I don't know anything about the APC nor do I really even care about the APC.

The latter four reverts were made within a two hour period and therefore a clear violation of the three revert rule. In each of these reverts they were restoring "several" as an estimate despite it being completely unsourced. In their reverts they claimed that the sources cited such as Amnesty International and NBC news are "clearly biased and politically motivated". They further claimed that "thousands" which I added from the sources was unsourced even though I quoted the relevant text from Amnesty. They were warned four days before for edit warring over this exact issue on the related ]. User:HistoryofIran and told them to go talk. They also warned them for edit warring but Taha Danesh quickly . A couple days later Taha Danesh resumed edit warring this time on Ebrahim Raisi.

:Legacypac has been going on an extended and increasingly hysterical witch-hunt of me, and apparently won't be happy until I give up editing. This has only intensified recently after I was pinged to make a about my dealings with him. In the thread above, he discovered that I had written the Boko Haram article, which was supposedly a huge concern due to my habit of "factual innaccuracy".
:His evidence for my long campaign of deception was 4 facts which were supposedly missing from the article, which he could, of course, have simply added (except, only one of the facts was actually missing). I was unable to comment much on this, as 2 of the facts (which actually are in the article) concerned a subject which he has had me TBANned from. This lead him to add 2 warning banners at the top of the article to warn readers of POV and factual inaccuracy, and he in article talk about the supposed dire condition of the article, listing the 4 missing facts and complaining in outraged tones of the fact that I had written the article.
:The 1st diff (which occurred after the last 3) is me reverting Legacypac's edit to a different section of the article, which he added, with warning banners, after arguing all night on the thread above. As I explain in the thread above, it introduced a factual error and removed sourced material while claiming it was unsourced. I also removed his unexplained warning banners; I am not sure why he didn't mention that - perhaps because he is aware that they are unambiguous vandalism.
:In this report, ] again suggests that I have been disruptive by writing an article that needed to be written. He implies that I prevent others from editing it - this is absolute rubbish. And despite his repeated hysterical claims, he has yet to find a single factual inaccuracy.
:The 2nd, 3rd & 4th diffs are the subject of the thread above. They are me reverting Lipsquid's edit and the edit of his sockpuppet.
:I notice that Legacypac and Lipsquid have now "taken over" the article. Therefore I wont be contributing to it any more, per ]'s advice on my talk page, and I sincerely doubt I'll ever edit or disrupt or add factual innaccuracies to any other page either. ] (]) 00:39, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

:::'''"False allegations"'''. You've said I'm "hypocritical" and "pushing" a "agenda", for example. So what "false allegations" are you referring to? Or is that just like my "factual inaccuracies", ie. there are none?

*Lipsquid used a sockpuppet: evidence is crystal clear in report above.
*After I discovered his sockpuppet, you proceeded to:
*added a NPOV tag for no reason.
*added a Factual accuracy tag for no reason.
* and false information: "'Boko'... is widely translated and thought to be a corruption of the English word 'book'" - no source says it means "book", all sources say it means "fake", including the 2 sources cited inline for the statement, one of which ''specifically says it doesn't mean book, and mocks Misplaced Pages for previously saying it means "book"'' - all of which I explained to you in my very last comment in the thread above, hours ''before'' you added it back again
*remove sourced info claiming it is "unsubstantiated content not found in the source" when it is in the source
*You knew I'd revert these edits, so you could try yet again to get me sanctioned
*yoouve now got the infobox claiming they are allied to al qaeda when the source in the article says they aren't since the middle of last year at least
*you've changed the infobox to say "strength=9000" when the source says "up to", and the first para says "a few 100s to a few 1000s" (sourced)
*you've been accusing me of factual errors left right and centre and '''you haven't pointed out one single factual error'''. And before you say "]", '''point out a factual error'''
*Its totally pointless editing if Legacypac's endless mudslinging and Lipsquid's sockpuppetry & trolling (eg , referring to "") allow you to get rid of any editor you don't like and change an article that is totally accurate and balanced that I slaved over into a bunch of lies

I should not feed the trolls, but the source in question -Paul Newman- lists 11 other sources that say Boko also means book as in "Book Learning" or "Western Learning". http://www.megatchad.net/publications/Newman-2013-Etymology-of-Hausa-boko.pdf Which also leads to the most reliably sourced definition of Boko Haram. "Western learning is forbidden". I have not seen any reliable sources that say the translation of Boko haram means - "fake is forbidden". There are 11 points of view available in the link. Only one says definitively that Boko does not mean book, but even 1 against 11 is a fair point to show contention, so I changed the article to take a more neutral stance on the definition of Boko. I am sure this will still lead us spinning off into a new, new, new tangent even though I again am trying to address the concerns you have made in good faith. Having an edit war over insisting that "Boko means book" absolutely must be deleted because you find it in one source while ignoring all other previous sources '''that say it does mean book''', is pretty much the opposite of what an editor should do. You should show both sides, remain neutral and let readers draw their own conclusion whenever there is a discrepancy between sources, which is what I am trying to do in my latest edit. ] (]) 21:05, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
:{{quote|"There are various pieces of evidence that support the view that boko not only '''never meant book,''' but could not have come from book.

First off opening paragraphs of broadcast stations always start with W*** is a television station or radio station following by its channel/frequency location and city of license then a description of the station including its affiliation is there is any. It has already been established in the InfoBox and in the article that WMGM is a Soul of the South affiliate so it is completely redundant and unnecessary to include this in the opening paragraph plus everytime their edits are reverted they re-revert it in violation of the 3RR.

When reporting a user here, your own behavior will also be scrutinized. Be sure you understand WP:REVERT and the definitions below first.
The format and contents of a 3RR/1RR report are important, use the "Click here to create a new report" button below to have a report template with the necessary fields to work from.
Violations of other restrictions, like WP:1RR violations, may also be brought here. Your report should include two reverts that occurred within a 24-hour period, and a link to where the 1RR restriction was imposed.
Definition of edit warring
Edit warring is a behavior, typically exemplified by the use of repeated edits to "win" a content dispute. It is different from a bold, revert, discuss (BRD) cycle. Reverting vandalism and banned users is not edit warring; at the same time, content disputes, even egregious point of view edits and other good-faith changes do not constitute vandalism. Administrators often must make a judgment call to identify edit warring when cooling disputes. Administrators currently use several measures to determine if a user is edit warring.
Definition of the three-revert rule (3RR)
An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Violations of this rule normally attract blocks of at least 24 hours. Any appearance of gaming the system by reverting a fourth time just outside the 24-hour slot is likely to be treated as a 3RR violation. See here for exemptions.

I've made my position clear. There is NO source that supports your version that between October 2006 and January 2012 he was not a member of any group. The current version is both manipulative (goes from 2006 Mujahideen Shura Council straight to 2012 al-Nusra) and contradicts RS that mention him as member of ISI in that period. There are RS that support my version, none that supports yours. A revision that'd include "2008-2012 ISI" (which would bypass his prison years 2006-08) would be a better solution. But a career infobox that straight-up omits the entire 2006-12 period is unacceptable.--BubbleBabis (talk) 19:41, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
No violation – there must be four or more reverts within a 24 hour period for the 3-Revert Rule to apply; the links you have provided do not meet these criteria. And really, this deserves more talking out on the talk page, which hasn't seen any discussion of this for a week (But, that having been said, if it continues like this I or another admin may be less tolerant). Daniel Case (talk) 23:04, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
This article is about a highly anticipated film with a large base of interest. There are hundreds of references available following its teaser and poster release, and it has been confirmed that principal photography has begun. Despite all this, the user CNMall41 has draftified the article multiple times. When asked about the policy, he simply forwarded the entire article, which was edited by multiple editors, to satisfy his personal ego. His actions are not collaborative and should be noted. Shecose (talk) 09:23, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
That is because CNMall41's only possible actual justification for the move warring against a draftification objection is block evasion, and their actions would normally lead to a block. And even if this is block evasion, waiting for the investigation's result would have been advisable. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:48, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
Page protected: Move protection for now, and if redirection is still desired, please start a deletion discussion for it (WP:ATD-R). Even if this is sockpuppetry, the page qualifies neither for G5 (due to substantial edits by others) nor redirection as a form of reverting block evasion (due to collateral damage). In such cases, it can help to focus on the content and decide independently of whether someone might be a sockpuppeteer. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:51, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
I realize the policy states, An editor must not perform more than three reverts, right? This is three, not more than three. It shows the desperation. Shecose (talk) 07:28, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
Shecose, an editor must not perform twenty reverts either, yet that doesn't mean nineteen reverts are fine. Edit warring isn't limited to violations of the three revert rule. You both have edit warred. The edit war has ended since, and no action is needed here; if any action is taken, that's via the sockpuppetry investigation, but we don't need to keep the edit warring report open in the meantime. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:37, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

The latter four reverts were made within a two hour period and therefore a clear violation of the three revert rule. In each of these reverts they were restoring "several" as an estimate despite it being completely unsourced. In their reverts they claimed that the sources cited such as Amnesty International and NBC news are "clearly biased and politically motivated". They further claimed that "thousands" which I added from the sources was unsourced even though I quoted the relevant text from Amnesty. They were warned four days before for edit warring over this exact issue on the related Ruhollah Khomeini. User:HistoryofIran reverted them and told them to go talk. They also warned them for edit warring but Taha Danesh quickly deleted the notice. A couple days later Taha Danesh resumed edit warring this time on Ebrahim Raisi.
