This page is for reporting active edit warriors and recent violations of restrictions like the three-revert rule.

• See this guide for instructions on creating diffs for this report.
• If you see that a user may be about to violate the three-revert rule, consider warning them by placing {{subst:uw-3rr}} on their user talk page.

You must notify any user you have reported.

You may use {{subst:An3-notice}} ~~~~ to do so.

You can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

Additional notes

• 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.
• Possible alternatives to filing here are dispute resolution, or a request for page protection.
• 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.

If someone is already at 3 reverts on a single page in a 24-hour period and has point-blank, flat-out stated they will be reverting a fourth time... Can it be brought here or do we have to wait for the 4th revert to happen first?Cebr1979 (talk) 06:38, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) I would be inclined to think that it can be brought here. The "3 reverts" is a bright line - breaching it means edit warring - but it is not a limitation - edit warring doesn't have to include a "3 reverts" violation. Hope this helps. - Ryk72 07:16, 30 October 2015 (UTC) Amended - Ryk72 07:22, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Well, not really. You said you "would be inclined to think that it can be brought here" but, then you said "edit warring does have to include a "3 reverts" violation" so... since there hasn't been a 3-revert violation but, there has been a declaration of making a violation... can it be brought here: yes or no?Cebr1979 (talk) 07:20, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

My sincerest apologies. That was a typo. I meant "doesn't". I have amended the statement above. - Ryk72 07:22, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Having a problem at the Kyle Abbott (The Young and the Restless) page. User:MrKing84 really likes that character and is known for coming to the page whenever he logs on to wikipedia and, if he doesn't like something, regardless of being told where the conversation happened that what he doesn't like is the correct way, he just reverts and reverts until we end up here or somewhere else (something that has been brought to his attention by other editors at his talk page.

It's silly, really, but... it's not going to end. That page has had to deal with him before.Cebr1979 (talk) 07:38, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

I would just like for Cebr1979 to stop harassing me (and other posters) for one thing. He has a history of making condescending remarks towards other editors. Now he is trying to cite a previous edit war he was involved in with another editor from a few months ago, as a reason to keep a last name in a caption of a picture. Yet there is no policy that says the last name of a person or character must be in the picture's caption (yes that is how ridiculous this is, a last name in a picture caption of TV character). That is what this is all about. But it is like I told him on another page he reported me to, his own words are not a policy. His own opinion is not a Misplaced Pages policy. He doesn't seem to understand that. When some editor tries to point these things out to him, he appears to take them personally and lashes out at the other editor by doing things like this. --MrKing84 (talk) 08:18, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

I'm not harrassing you, there's been no previous edit war, and I've already explained everything to you here but, you're just continuing to ignore what is said to you in order to continue making yourself right and justify your non-stop reverts to that page (which, as I've pointed out, has been going on for a long, long time - not just with this... and you've blatantly stated you don't plan on stopping). The current consensus is: captions go with the common name. The character's common name includes both the first and last name.Cebr1979 (talk) 08:24, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

You are indeed harassing me. This little thing has now turned into long discussions on multiple pages. A lot of back and forth. Now you're trying to report me and get me blocked. That is harassment. Not to mention the little condescending remarks that you like to make (and I'm not the only one who has mentioned this to you). I haven't ignored what you said. I pointed out that you are were talking about "which last name was the right one" with the other editor in the links you provided. The issue here is the relevance of the last name in the caption. Not every picture caption on Misplaced Pages has a persons/characters last name, so there is no set policy on this. --MrKing84 (talk) 08:48, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

• I notice that there is no Talk page discussion on this issue. I'd consider it worthwhile if both editors could outline their reasons for their preferred version on the article Talk page, with a view to requesting a third opinion if no agreement can be found. - Ryk72 08:26, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
  • As I clearly stated, there is no talk page discussion because it went to ANI instead. If you read that conversation (which I linked to), everything you just suggested has already been done.Cebr1979 (talk) 08:29, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Having reviewed the WP:ANI discussion, I see a lot of comment on contributor, but not as much discussion of the content. While I realise there is a certain degree of bad blood, my suggestion is that you, please, in a new section on the article Talk page, place a statement each, detailing the reasons for the preferred content - The caption of this photo should be "X" because.... I would also suggest that neither of you edit this part of the article until you have done so. - Ryk72 08:36, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

No. I'm not starting a discussion that's already been had. If he wants, he can go hard.Cebr1979 (talk) 08:39, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

• Result: User:MrKing84 and User:Cebr1979 are both warned. The next one of you who adds, removes or changes Kyle's last name in either direction, Jenkins or Abbott, without first getting a talk page consensus, may be blocked. These warnings are in lieu of full protection of the article, which would be unfair to the others who aren't parties to this edit war. EdJohnston (talk) 22:51, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
  • EdJohnston: Ed, it would be really nice if you would look into things before commenting. Jenkins or Abbott? What? What his last name was or is has NOTHING to do with anything and neither of us ever even edited the name "Jenkins" into that caption! Oh, my goodness.Cebr1979 (talk) 21:20, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Comments:

• If Zqxwcevrbtny refuses to stop adding BLP violations to the article, I have to endorse sanctions. I don't know if he's just not listening or if he's got an agenda. There's also the possibility of a competence issue, considering that after I brought BLPCRIME to his attention twice in edit summaries I also left a detailed note on his talk page and pasted the relevant BLPCRIME text with important parts bolded, he continues to make problem edits. It doesn't seem that he read or understood any of the policy, because after TRPOD reverted an edit by Zqxwcevrbtny that contained the problematic content, Z restored it with an edit summary that suggests he thinks the issue is sourcing, not potential defamation.

Note also that I opened a discussion at BLP/N two days before this editor even showed up, to get input from BLP-familiar editors about the suitability of this content. I also filed a Help Desk request in case someone haunting that board was BLP familiar because in the days prior to this user showing up, I had been dealing with an IP editor who also didn't care about/didn't comprehend/wasn't listening to my BLPCRIME concern. This may or may not have been Zqxwcevrbtny, but I'd probably also encourage page protection to stymie any continued disruption. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:46, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Comments:

This user was just blocked for editing warring on the Joker in other media last week and, only several days after becoming unblocked, the user returned to edit warring on Joker in other media (even after two discussions were started on the Talk Page, which the user refuses to respond to). The User continues to ignore every single attempt at a discussion. Although the user hasn't broken the 3RR on this article since he has been unblocked (at least, not YET), the user's actions still constitute edit warring and their reverts are exactly the same as the ones from when the user did break the 3RR (which the user was previously blocked for).

Not only that, but the user also returned to an edit war that I was previously unaware of at the Sith article, which the user has never been reported for and has been involved in for months. Darkknight2149 (talk) 20:43, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

The next day. Another user intervened and reverted; but RevRoderickCDavis overruled this again, edit warring from his/her side just continues. Meanwhile I checked the original creation of the entry; it was clearly meant to emphasize the controversy about this gospel: from Biblical times or just a more recent creation?

I have reviewed the two versions of the article and the AfD. Although they are not identical, they are substantially similar and I have deleted via G4.

Hello This editor has reverted/changed this article over 30 different times. He also has been bullying other editors acting as if he is the owner of wikipedia. In a particular instance where he told user Markos200 that he has 24 hours and he will change the article back to his satisfaction. See this article talk page of bullying towards another editor. Another edit war between him and user (talk), see the previous edit war before User:DrFleischman deleted it from his talk page. See this.

It appears when someone makes an edit to an article and User:DrFleischman does not like the edit, he will check your IP or User Editing history to try to find issues on articles you have either created or edited and tag your article and cite that it is not Neutral and needs citations and or he would request that it be deleted. He has moved to get numerous articles deleted. One recently whereas he cited that an institution called Atlantic International University does not have any Notability in Misplaced Pages, see this article's deletion page. The AFD clearly states

• Schools are frequently nominated for deletion. The current notability guideline for schools and other education institutions is Misplaced Pages:Notability (organizations and companies) (WP:ORG). This section is not a notability guideline, WP:GNG and WP:ORG are.
  • Most elementary (primary) and middle schools that don't source a clear claim to notability usually get merged or redirected in AfD. Schools that don't meet the standard typically get merged or redirected to the school district authority that operates them (generally North America) or the lowest level locality (elsewhere or where there is no governing body) rather than being completely removed from the encyclopedia. 'Redirect' as an alternative to deletion is anchored in policy.
  • Most independently accredited degree-awarding institutions and high schools are usually kept except when zero independent sources can be found to prove that the institution actually exists.

Please review all User:DrFleischman's editing history as it seems that he has a lot of Bias opinions and a little over the top as to enforcing Misplaced Pages's procedures. He seems to be acting as a representative or some what an owner of Misplaced Pages. This article was created 7 years ago and as you can see, User:DrFleischman has chopped the article down to his personal liking. He will revert any meaningful edit with sources that someone makes on this article. This editor needs to understand that Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia that provides extensive information as to organizations, so chopping the article down to predominately nothing seems to be a self-serving.

Edit warring top-of-page "article contradicts itself and neutrality is disputed" maintenance tags over whether the word "pseudoscience" should go here or there in the lede sentence. Looks like they managed not-quite-3RR over the wording of that sentence last week, with five reverts in two days. Editor seems well aware of 3RR from previous blocks and is already discussing their concerns on the talk page. McGeddon (talk) 08:56, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

I self reverted 3 minutes after my last edit, . As noted, I am discussing on talk. I don't agree with removing article tags while the issue is being discussed, but I apologise for not being more careful. The edit summary last time the tag was removed (just after another editor had helpfully fixed the tag ), "Deja vu all over again", was not constructive. I promise to steer well-clear of 3RR in future. I will only edit the same article on alternate days. In fact I won't edit the astrology article at all, at least until people start agreeing with me. zzz (talk) 08:59, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

"I am discussing on talk" is correct: Signedzzz has edited Talk:Astrology eight times in the last hour, since their last adjustment at 09:44 to the above comment. Switching from edit warring to overwhelming talk is not desirable. Johnuniq (talk) 10:52, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Johnuniq, I was editing my comment, which was a reply to another user who had replied to me. I don't know what you mean by "overwhelming". zzz (talk) 11:05, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

I note the total length of additional material added in that hour isn't what I would call overwhelming talk either. I have commented myself on the talk page indicating that I see some reason to question the current structure of the lede, and I am not generally (I hope anyway) seen as an advocate of pseudoscientific theories, although, obviously, I would welcome correction on that point if I am found to be wrong in that assumption. John Carter (talk) 11:31, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Perhaps I should also mention that my original five separate edits spread throughout the lead and the body of the article were reverted en masse 6 days later (as can be seen in the edits listed above), along with edits by another user to the spelling of the word "medieval", with the edit summary "rv to last good version - article is EngVarB, i.e. not American; rv doubtful edits to lead" (apparently mistakenly asserting that "medieval", as opposed to the chiefly archaic "mediaeval", is an Americanism) and then again all reverted, along the spelling corrections: "Concur with previous revision, unconstructive lead changes". It only later transpired that it was the edit to the first sentence that was the main hurdle. I found this all very confusing at the time. zzz (talk) 12:43, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Nope, my reversion you mentioned involved both the lead and spelling. There is a note about the spelling as well as talk page discussions about it. The lead changes are also heavily discussed in the talk page archives. The talk page "spamming" has made following any discussion virtually infeasable. Also offering to edit every other day is a blatent runaround of 3RR. (Also user delete my edit warring warning, see talk page history).--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 14:57, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

That is exactly what I was trying to convey with my previous message - my edits to the lead, and my other edits to the article, and the spelling edits by another user, were all combined into your single revert. (I believe my other edits apart from the first sentence have all been subsequently accepted). Your warning arrived 4 days ago, and related to these confusing combined reverts, and not the article tags. Also, I indicated, above, that I will not be editing the astrology article any more, unless there is a sudden, miraculous turn-around in the rather entrenched POV of users there. zzz (talk) 15:18, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

• With the self revert, I am marking this as no violation, although both Signedzzz and Isambard Kingdom are getting close to 3RR. I will monitor the article and block at the first sign of trying to game the rules. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:29, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Have tried to suggest engage on talk but editor has refused to do so.

Comments:

Cr7777777 has failed to engage on the wording in the lead and instead has aggressively reverted text repeatedly from both myself and other editors. Contaldo80 (talk) 15:05, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Response:

I'm not sure why Contaldo80 says that I failed to engage on the wording. I have stated my case multiple times to the few editors who insist on rephrasing the cardinal's words.

This is a clear cut case.

The few editors insist on rewording Cardinal Sarah's statement and inject their bias, which violates Misplaced Pages's neutral point of view policy.

The few editors refuse to use the cardinal's direct quote, which the editors admittedly do not understand. Contaldo80 wrote "Isn't this rather meaningless? We don't really know what Sarah means as his terminilogy is odd and unhelpful." After admitting to not understanding, he insists on rephrasing the cardinal's words!

Understanding Catholic Catechism (http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/_INDEX.HTM) would help to understand the cardinal's meaning. Rather than using my phrasing, or the other editors misleading phrasing, it is only fair to use the cardinal's direct quote.

Cr7777777 (talk) 15:49, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

P.S. It should also be noted that Ezium23 and Mean as custard had used the direct quote as well before Contaldo80 modified it with his own wording. Cr7777777 (talk) 16:55, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Agreed; Contaldo80 appears to be acting obtusely in continuing to revert this version. . . Mean as custard (talk) 16:57, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Qurat-ul-Ain Balouch is full name of the Pakistani singer/actress and she also uses QB as her name in English media only. She is a popular singer and is only known as Qurat-ul-Ain Balouch in Urdu and Pakistan. I changed the redirection from QB and restored full name page. Now User:Psychonaut is reverting my edits. Please advice. WikiBulova (talk) 18:32, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

User:WikiBulova, I have already advised you what the problem is both on your talk page and on mine , and also in my edit summaries. If you don't understand the process for requesting a move over a redirect, just ask about what isn't clear and I would be happy to help. —Psychonaut (talk) 18:38, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

This isn't edit warring. There are set procedures for moving a page because the page history is needed for attribution. See WP:CUTPASTE. clpo13_(talk) 18:47, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

I have moved the article in question. WikiBulova, in future please listen to what other editors tell you and ask if you not understand. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:35, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
