ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Thank you for your assessment

Hello. I have never come across your work on WP, the more so I want to thank you for the way you dealt with the Seaman arbitration issue.
For what it's worth, here is, in my opinion, what we are dealing with here. This is a high-tension topic, Mr Seaman was until recently one of the policy makers organising the covered payment of government money to sympathetic students in- and outside Israel, who would then support the current government's politics on Facebook, Twitter etc. pretending to act as private, objective contributors. He managed to be fired by his own gov't right before launching the programme on a grand scale, for making quite rude and undiplomatic political comments on his own FB page. His "friends" (or himself?) usually try to whitewash his WP page anonymously, Plot Spoiler is the only exception in a very long time, but the most extreme one of them all.
I didn't add anything to the article, I only brought back in what Plot Spoiler had blighted. I have rearranged one lead paragraph setting the events in a more logical, chronological sequence and addressed Plot Spoiler's formal complaints re. subchapter headings. The only additional material comes from Nishidani, a truly academic contributor. That would be it. All the best, ArmindenArminden (talk) 06:54, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

No problem

I do try, but please keep in mind that I always leave explanation on talk pages, unlike other side. In the particular case of UANI, this is how it goes:

1. First they simply remove sourced material without any discussion, basically engaging in edit war.
2. After explanations on talk pages are given, then they claim source is "invalid". It can be an opinion written by university professor and published by academic house, but it's still "bad".
3. After running out of arguments, they play a passivity game. However, after they realize period of inactivity in my contributions (mostly few weeks), then they return to point 1 (new edit wars).

When I say they, I'm not sure am I talking about one person or group of people behind this accounts: AnarchistFakest, Averysoda, All Rows4, Bad Dryer... all blocked with an expiry time of indefinite, all socks, and all engaging in similar pattern like mr. PlotSpoiler. --MehrdadFR (talk) 03:40, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Yup, there are poor editors out there, but that doesn't mean you are allowed to edit poorly as well. Try using the talk page more and try going to Misplaced Pages:Third opinion if you are stuck alone with a silent revert warrior again. Sepsis II (talk) 04:01, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Peculiar warning

Why did you give an edit warrring notice to someone for an edit from six weeks ago, for which the editor was already blocked? --jpgordon 15:40, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

It wasn't a warning, just advice, and the editor has continued to revert on that particular article, and others, this week. Unlike many admins, I'd actually like to see him improve so that he doesn't get blocked. If you look up above on this page you can see us talking about this weeks reverting.

Edit warring

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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.
