User:Alansohn reported by User:Xcstar (Result:No violation)
- Three-revert rule violation on
L'Arche (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Alansohn (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log): Time reported: 17:25, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
- Necessary for newer users: A diff of 3RR warning issued before the last reported reversion.
Your report will be ignored if it is not placed properly.
Alansohn does not want to engage in collegial editing. Instead he has been rather arbitrary in reverting my contributions and those of others. Apparently he has engaged in heated battles with other editors, eg, User_talk:Alansohn#Whatever. Xcstar (talk) 17:25, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
- User:Xcstar has been engaging in a longstanding effort at inserting misleading, false and defamatory information about Dane Rauschenberg at his article and at other articles, including L'Arche, in violation of WP:BLP. As indicated, WP:3RR excludes reverts "reverts to remove clearly libelous material, or unsourced or poorly sourced controversial material about living persons (see Misplaced Pages:Biographies of living persons)". The persistent disruption caused by User:Xcstar at L'Arche have been raised at WP:BLPN, which would appear to be the appropriate venue for further discussion of this matter. Alansohn (talk) 17:53, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
- The L'Arche article is not about a living person, it is about an organization. Although User:Alansohn now (incorrectly) claims that the material posted is libelous, he has not stated that as his rationale during his edit wars. I am not aware of any discussion on WP:BLPN and it was posted only in retailation of this 3RR complaint. Xcstar (talk) 18:32, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
- The article itself may not be about a living person, but the information Xcstar has been adding to it is. Since the information does not include reliable sources, Alansohn was justified in removing it. Kafziel 18:37, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
- Please also look at Alansohn's edit war documented at: User_talk:Alansohn#Civility. I will add more sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xcstar (talk • contribs) 18:42, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
- That was weeks ago. I'm not sure whether it's relevant at all, and it's certainly not relevant here. Kafziel 19:46, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

User:PanLover continues to revert into the pan flute article a link to an educational flash video about which two editors--myself and User:ILike2BeAnonymous--have expressed concerns on various grounds. Most of PanLover's responses have been to persist in edit warring and act personally slighted, essentially accusing the editors involved of personally colluding against him and his edit.

Content cited as unsourced since mid-December. Comment left on talk page of article was responded to indicating that references were not forthcoming ("I can't be bothered to find them again").

User is a very established user, and is aware or 3rr, as evidenced here for example.
It is actually 5 reverts, but since showing the first one is more complicated, I simply linked that as the original version reverted to. User making repeated reverts of sourced information without any engagement on the talk page. While I am loathe to do this in general, this user has a history of tendentious editing on this page.

- Three-revert rule violation on
Romania (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Pmanderson (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log): Time reported: 21:39, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

- 4th revert: - 8 January, 16:03
User:Pmanderson keeps reverting disruptively in an issue quite logic and supported by the BBC, US State Department and CIA World Factbook; actually, he keeps adding "alternate names" for "Romania" (erroneusely typed in sources he cites, as the oficial English name for this country is "Romania). He has also been reported few days ago for incivility and disruptivity - here and he was also blocked several times for edit warring/3RR violation. However, he had break the 3RR again, as stated in the diffs above. --Eurocopter tigre (talk) 16:33, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- I regret not having checked the timing more carefully. However, the first edit shown is not a revert, but supplies additional evidence; the third is an attempt at compromise, as the edit summary shows. I would request that this uncivil edit summary by Eurocopter Tigre, which also requested additional sources, be taken into consideration. While I have been blocked before, the history Eurocopter brings up is nine months old. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 17:20, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- I'm sure the first one is a revert, as he keeps adding back the same text removed by others. Clearly, disruptive edit warring is a thing in which this editor is often involved and should be treated properly. --Eurocopter tigre (talk) 17:26, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- Please consult Eurocopter's block log. He was blocked for edit warring less than two weeks ago. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 17:29, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- I'm sure the first one is a revert, as he keeps adding back the same text removed by others. Clearly, disruptive edit warring is a thing in which this editor is often involved and should be treated properly. --Eurocopter tigre (talk) 17:26, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- Correct, that's why I decided not to continue the edit warring and report you accordingly, even if I reverted you only two times. However, my personal block log has nothing to do with this report. --Eurocopter tigre (talk) 18:01, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- Hm. "He has also been reported few days ago for incivility and disruptivity - here and he was also blocked several times for edit warring/3RR violation." You mention his blocks, it seems fair that he mentions yours. Edit warring, which you allege has occurred, requires more than one person. Charles 18:04, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- Unfortunately for him i'm not the one reported (if I was the one reported, I would accept that admins consult my block log before taking any decision), so my block log would be irrelevant in this report. Clearly, this user didn't learn from mistakes in the past, and continues to be diruptive and break the 3RR. --Eurocopter tigre (talk) 18:15, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- Just because a form of a country's name isn't mentioned it does not mean that it is not an alternative. On Google (yes, I know), Romania shows up in English language results about 30:1 against Rumania. Rumania, however, appears in about half a million hits. Maybe not an official form, but certainly not a mere misspelling. Charles 17:30, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- Google Books returns almost 8000 hits for Rumania, including a 1994 publication by Oxford; the more common form gets 13,300. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 17:40, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- I'm sure that this is widely discussed on the proper talk page in this moment, so let's don't change the subject. The user violated the 3 revert rule and therefore should be blocked. --Eurocopter tigre (talk) 17:57, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- I have come unfortunately close to infringing it; had I noticed the timing, I would probably have delayed my last edit a while. But I have not done so; and this entire complaint is an effort to ignore my suggestion of compromise, by an editor with an emotional commitment to official names, which is contrary to our guidelines. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 18:22, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- I'm sure that this is widely discussed on the proper talk page in this moment, so let's don't change the subject. The user violated the 3 revert rule and therefore should be blocked. --Eurocopter tigre (talk) 17:57, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- Again, the discussion which takes place on Talk:Romania has nothing to do with this report and therefore it should not be continued here. The user break the 3RR and will be blocked. --Eurocopter tigre (talk) 18:26, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- Is this a retraction of the claim that the title of the recent Oxford University Press book is a typo? Septentrionalis PMAnderson 18:45, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- Not to mention the interview, "Roma Issues in Rumania: The Year 2000 and Beyond", cited here, with a former member of the Romanian Government (search on Rumania)? Septentrionalis PMAnderson 18:57, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- As I said, i'm not going to discuss this here any more. However, I would be free to discuss everything on the proper talk page. --Eurocopter tigre (talk) 19:00, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- 24 hours. Spartaz 19:10, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- FYI, you blocked the user for 31 hours. I have no incredibly strong opinion one way or the other ... but you may want to either change the block or change the result here. --B (talk) 21:32, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
User:LapisExCoelis reported by User:Corticopia (Result: 24 hour block)

Macedonia (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). LapisExCoelis (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log): Time reported: 19:58, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

- 3rd revert: - 18:56, 8 January 2008
- 4th revert: - 19:10, 8 January 2008
This is pretty clear-cut: this editor continues to insinuate simple yet arguably divisive/unnecessary wording regarding the 'ancient (Greek) kingdom of Macedon'.{} The factual nature of the assertion is not in dispute per se, but this user has not discussed nor compelled for the change in text on the talk page, which was in place for some time until recently. Thus, his insinuation of me manipulating 3RR is insipid: just as ' believe(s)' he has provided 'sensible and sound reasoning', he has violated it all on his own, and despite warning. Corticopia (talk) 19:58, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Minor disclaimer
- I am writing from an Academic library workstation with browser restrictions that do not allow the use of the address box (URL bar). As such, I can not right now provide the necessary diffs. I would kindly request some time to relocate to my laboratory/office or home PC.
- I will not debate here the reasoning behind my correctional edit. I believe it is not place.
3RR and "gaming the system"
I did break the 3 Revert Rule, which I was just reading.
I believe that User:Corticopia did also break that rule, not so in 'practice' but most importantly in spirit.
S/He was obviously aware of the rule, since upon his/her own admission, 'warned' me about it (diff pending), yet despite that, s/he continued to edit-warring.
- 1st revert: (diff pending) 18:05, 8 January 2008
- 2nd revert: (diff pending) 18:49, 8 January 2008
- 3rd revert: (diff pending) 18:58, 8 January 2008
I also believe that s/he engaged in a curious, non-constructive and antagonistic attempt to "game the system" (Misplaced Pages:GAME).
Upon his/her own admission the "ancient kingdom of Macedon of Alexander III and Phillip II", was "(ancient) Greek" at least in spirit and in character (diffs pending). This version was the established, prevailing one up until 20:29, 30 December 2007 (diffs pending) when User:3rdAlcove, without any explanation in the summary box, any discussion in the talk page and certainly without any academic, editorial, community or otherwise 'consensus' what-so-ever, decided to remove.
I did discovered this removal some days later and reverted it (diff pending). It was exactly at that point when User:Corticopia reverted my edit, in minutes,
- Revert: (diff pending) 20:40, 4 January 2008,
thus declairing his/her position to challenge the established version, due to 'simplicity' (talking about NPOV).
For the reasons stated above I believe that his/her actions were not in good faith thus the whole 3RR invoke was just hand-waiving in a curious attempt to change the established version of the said page and "game the system" by invoking, widely used and cited, wikipedia practices, guidelines and policies as WP:3RR and WP:NPOV.
P.S. It may seem far fetched but I have a minor suspicion that User:3rdAlcove may be a sock/meat puppet of User:Corticopia (or the other way around), among others. This would propably mean that, in this case s/he used his/her alter egos in an abusive way . I would kindly request a way to check it. --LapisExCoelis (talk) 21:33, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

- Thank you. Other comments/accusations from this editor aside, I would strongly encourage the retention of this electric fence for the duration -- this editor was clearly blocked by an admin despite LEC's response to my report (i.e., the diffs would make no difference) and my equally reasoned comments.

- The user removed referenced contents regarding Korean and Japan relations without any plausible rationale, but just said that "It is Korean POV, Korean nationalism, or grounds of Bais". The two countries are neighboring each other. Cultural exchanges and interactions between Japan and Korea are so natural. His denial is so unnatural and not constructive for Misplaced Pages. He can't change the history and his reverts without any reason can be considered vandalism. However, the anonymous user is doing the same behaviors on Empress Jingū, Nihon Shoki, and Japanese cuisine. The anonymous user is certainly not a new user because a similar ip anon, 219.66.42.176 did the same things on the mentioned articles. Moreover, judging by the same misspells on the word, propaganda as probaganda2007-07-24T19:08:49(by 219.66.44.159), 2007-10-05T16:40:41 (by 211.3.113.247), the editor is a long time POV pusher. I tried to talk to him at his talk page, but got no answer from him. Another user also provided more references to him as following the anon's demands, but also got no answer back. Besides, the user suddenly put a Japanese words to a Korean tea article which is no relation with Japan but he seemed to do that as a retaliation. The act is very similar to User:Yuan.C.Lee's behavioral patterns on East Sea which occurred a couple of days ago. Please prevent the user from causing further troubles on Japan-Korean relations.

I stumbled upon this incomplete and unused template this week after seeing that the largest cities also had a template. Since urban areas are a much more accurate depiction of a city's relative economic, cultural and social significance, I made a ranking based on these. I examined three population rankings provided by the U.S. Census Bureau – urban area, Metropolitan Statistical Area and Combined Statistical Area. The CSA seemed to provide the best definition – i.e., metropolitan areas whose centers were less than 30 miles apart were part of one combined CSA rather than two or three smaller MSA's – but not every CSA corresponds to a Metropolitan Statistical Area (i.e., San Diego, California does not have a CSA.) I added the MSAs into these rankings where those cities were not part of a CSA and created the template based on that criteria, thus providing what I believe to be the most accurate way of ranking urban areas' significance, as far as this template goes. User has consistently reverted the rankings back to other criterias – Census urban areas or MSAs, neither of which as accurately portray an urban area's absolute size and relative importance. This would be an open-and-shut case if every city was part of a CSA, but they're not. Minimal subjectivity - filling in the gaps with existing Census criteria - was required to make the rankings accurate.MojaveNC (talk) 03:44, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- I would like to point out that said user is the one who is technically in violation of 3RR (his reverts are: ). I am unsure if he understands how Combined Statistical Areas are delineated. Please see Talk:Combined Statistical Area for a link to the Federal Register indicating that CSAs and MSAs should not be compared as the results are misleading because they represent different concepts. --Polaron | Talk 05:28, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- Polaron is correct, in that a) he did not break 3RR, and b) MojaveNC did break 3RR. However, I'm not issuing a block because discussion is ongoing at the template talk page and both sides should continue trying to make progress there. I've protected the template for two days, which should be sufficient time to come to a better understanding. If an agreement is reached earlier, I'll unlock it. If, on the other hand, the edit war continues after protection expires, we can revisit this block request. Kafziel 08:52, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Chrisieboy (talk) 12:11, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- Can I suggest that whichever admin takes a look at this a) has a look at what I was reverting (a violation of the WP:NONFREE policy), b) takes a look at the talk page of the article in question where I tried to initiate a discussion, and c) notices that I haven't actually reverted thrice in 24 hours yet. Though having said that, as my edits are to remove non-free material, I doubt that it'd qualify for 3RR anyway (not that I'm planning on reverting anymore without admin intervention). Thank you. TheIslander 15:05, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- Comment. User:TheIslander tried to initiate a discussion after reverting three times in a 24 hour period on both Norwich and Peterborough Building Society and Image:LINK.png and placing an inappropriate warning on my talk page. His/her revert is disputed and controversial and therefore s/he should have initiated a discussion before. It is not enough to simply assert that it is non-free material, that fact is not disputed. I provided a rationale for fair use. It is not for one user to unilaterally decide that that is not acceptable and to persist in removing it without consensus, proper discussion or the common courtesy of first explaining their actions.

- For your information, those aren't diffs - see here. TheIslander 15:50, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- For the admin's benefit, as this request has been malformed anyway (diffs have not been cited). I remove the picture, which was placed in violation of WP:NONFREE here. For Chrisieboy's benefit, that does not count as a revert. Chrissieboy then reverts here without discussion, or request for discussion. I then re-revert here (my first revert), and request discussion on the talk page. As this picture is possibly used in violation of WP:NONFREE, it is better to remove and then discuss than discuss whilst leaving a potentially wrong use of an image on the page. Chrisieboy ignores the request for discussion, re-reverts here (2nd revert), and requests discussion himself. As the copyright status is dubious, I place a message on the talk page here (11:19, 9 January 2008), and then re-revert here (11:20, 9 January 2008) for my second and last time, and request discussion on talk page. I have only reverted twice; my reverts have been to remove copyright-dubious work; I have made requests for discussion which have been ignored. Any reverts to the image mirror the article to remove a pointless and invalid rationale. Hope that finally clears up any confusion. TheIslander 15:48, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- There is no violation here - TheIslander has only reverted three times, but regardless, he was removing a copyrighted picture from the article that had no rationale for its use on the page. Please note "Reverts to remove clear violations of the copyright, spamming or non-free content policies" are clearly marked as exempt from the 3RR policy.

- Thanks for the clarification. Regarding Soman, it appears his block is the result of a clerical error. Relata refero appears to be a very recent entrant to the debate and I don't think there is any evidence that he "gamed the system", but was trying to remove some highly POV content. Perhaps he began to experience the same level of frustration as everyone else in dealing with a difficult editor who continually attacks those he disagrees with as "Communist vandals/trolls/paid propagandists/etc" (for example, this accusation that I, Relata and Soman are members of a "cabal" of editors belonging to or supportive of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) ), apparently in a bid to antagonise rather than resolve issues.--Conjoiner (talk) 02:32, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

As part of a clean up effort, I did some massive edits to the List of Crash Bandicoot characters article, including rewriting several sections that had the same paragraph repeated multiple times, cleaning up the references and sources, and removing minor characters. I left a message on the talk page (where consensus had already been reached that clean up was needed in addition to some merges), explaining what I did, and asking if I removed any characters who I thought were minor but were not, to either add them back or bring them up for discussion. Instead, CBNFan reverted the entire edit as blatant vandalism and has been repeated redoing his reverts when I and another editor undoes them. He was reported to ANI over issues related to the articles about this game, but it was allowed to drop after he promised to discuss not just revert war and to be more careful about his being uncivil with other editors (see Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive346#Blocking discussion and vandalizing AfD).

However, given his tendencies, it's best that someone else handle this report. I would point out, though, that an anon removed it from the board immediately after CBFan commented on it (and I reverted it back onto the board). I would also point out the frequency of 3RR violations for this account, and a tendency to refer to any edits (good faith or not) that he does not agree with as vandalism. - Philippe | Talk 21:51, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- I had reasons for refering to that edit as vandalism. It was certainly not constructing the encyclopedia very well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CBFan (talk • contribs) 22:03, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Note: The anon IP that vandalized this report, 79.74.10.90, traces back to CBFan's general location, and is very similar to the vandalism of the AfD referenced in the ANI report above. And, for extra fun, CBFan is now 3RRing on my talk page to put a 3RR notice about the same article (per is vindictive report below) even though he deleted the same notice from his own user page, and I reverted 3 times, and stopped to avoid violating 3RR (so its also a false warning).

- Oh, so you've had to resort to telling lies, have you? Sad, so sad. It's obvious that you're wrong. CBFan (talk) 22:29, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- Blocked for a month. The block log for this user is riddled with 3RR blocks (this is block 7 or 8) and I seriously considered an indef at this point. The exceedingly uncivil edit summaries and agressive editing should not be tolerated and a firm signal is required. Spartaz 00:46, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Collectionian has blatantly removed characters from the List of Crash Bandicoot characters page for apparantly no reason and little logic (removed characters with developed personalities, yet kept those with none at all). He did mention on the talk page this idea, yet he went ahead and edited without any fors or againsts. After seeing this, I reverted back to the last edit before he wrecked it and set about trying improve the article myself. However, despite removing a lot of "garbage" from before, C blatantly refused to accept it and continually reverted back to HIS edit, despite the fact that he had removed characters for no reason AND he had made the article very un-encyclopediac. Furthermore, he refuses to accept blame for this as shown above AND that he posted a warning about my revert war thing, yet when one was posted on his talk page, he deleted it. He is clearly more to blame than I am and a lie-teller at that. CBFan (talk) 21:58, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- I'd also like to add that he has now refused to accept blame for being involved in the edit war for the third time now, as par his talk page, as seen ], ], ], ], ] and ]. Furthermore, he is refusing to accept blame in any way, blaming the incident solely on me as seen here ]. CBFan (talk) 22:11, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

New user continues to do nothing but vandalize said talk page over and over in the same manner; violation of WP:3RR. — BQZip01 — 01:53, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- User blocked: For obvious trolling, please report it to WP:AIV. It isn't necessary to bring it here, but please note that the criticism section that he blanked in a few of his edits was absolutely 100% inappropriate to have in the article. We don't source things to opponents' message boards - that's just plain nonsense. Message boards are not reliable sources and Misplaced Pages is not the place to bring the sports rivalry. I'm a Tech fan, but I have blocked Tech fans for trolling UVA articles. The rivalry needs to be checked at the door. --B (talk) 06:05, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Not a new user, blanks his talk page.
User continues to add the tag in bad faith. After I exposed his lying on another issue, User:Coloane declared - "OK! go ahead! I just don't care! I already illustrated my point. I am not going to revert it. RIght now I will try to make sure your article Russia fail and die from FAC. That is the most important thing." and "whenever you nominate Russia or Russian article, I will surely vote OPPOSE or take them to FAR. This is the heavy price you have to pay". He has made similar disruptive WP:POINTy edits on other pages, see User_talk:Coloane#Stop_the_disruption Miyokan (talk) 03:10, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- I would also like to direct administrators' attention the user's contributions. He is heavily drawn into FAC discussions. Upon further investigation, it is evident that he started some kind of FA revenge war with Indonesia, when its primary contributor voted negatively on Macau's FAC. This user's mainspace edits are very sparse. And what he does contribute, are mostly reverts. I strongly question this user's intentions on Misplaced Pages. Regards, Bogdan 04:15, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- I would add to my concern as to whether the sum total of Coloanes' contributions add or hinder making a better encyclopedia. If he can not learn a more collegiate style a one month block for reflection might be appropriate. Alice 04:24, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- I've blocked Coloane for twenty-four hours for edit-warring. I think you might have a case for general disruption, but I feel it would be better to raise this matter at WP:ANI so you can get a broader opinion and so you can explain the issue in greater detail. -- tariqabjotu 04:42, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, his nomination for Indonesia to FAR (and other countries?) while he's pushing his hometown Macau FAC are disruptive - if he was genuine about improving Indonesia (all of a sudden), he'd make the changes himself or use that article's talk page. --Merbabu (talk) 04:45, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

No need for warning has been blocked many times in the past for 3rr.
Was let off of block early if he behaved, but immediately enters into an edit war. Has been blocked many times for incivility as well as 3rr violations . UnclePaco (talk) 03:42, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- FYI to whoever reviews this, checkuser has confirmed that the IPs reverting the article are not UnclePaco, however suspicious as those reverts may be. XLR8TION's prior block was in part based on what was possibly a misunderstanding - see everyone's comments at Misplaced Pages:RFARB#Anti-Dominicanism if interested. UnclePaco's version is somewhat of a WP:COATRACK as it is taking a couple of sentences at the end of articles and making it sound like the parade was nothing but violence (in other words, quite a lot of POV to it). But, on the other hand, reverting POV is not an exception to 3RR. --B (talk) 05:14, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
User was noted on wikipedia ediquette here and noted that his attack on me stating English isn't my first language but his and thus i should allow him to edit. . Violated 3rr here but was warned , later he was placed on put on a week block for continuous posting of a white power website ]. The RFARB was started by an individual right after Xlr8tion was blocked (quite unusual) demanding the unblock of Xlr8tion, after I replied with much evidence. That person never replied again.
