User:Historiker123454 has been edit warring, since 19:48, 31 December 2016‎, their interpretation of the result of the Russo-Turkish War (1676–81). As shown on the talk page, Historiker has stated certain sources(with no quotes) support their opinion, which on the contrary the sources in question do not. Historiker has also posted this website;

IP 70.122.135.104 has been removing sourced content from the article since early last month. The removal has been reverted each time by multiple editors, including myself. IP 70.122.135.104 has been warned multiple times on both their user talk page and in edit sums to not engage in edit warring, but to seek a consensus for this change on the article's talk page. Despite all of this, IP 70.122.135.104 has continued to engage in edit warring and even violated WP:3RR earlier today with four consecutive reverts. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:59, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

This is obviously the same user, as seen from the diffs and also suggested by Antandrus at the talk page of the IP. The user/IP are not just edit-warring, their edits are obviously disruptive and include removing a reference to Britannica which they do not like with the reference to an obscure Ukrainian cite of unclear notability.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:58, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Ed and Ymblanter ... yes, it's the same person, with no doubt whatsoever. Since they were new I was more-or-less assuming good faith they were inadvertently editing logged out, not evading my copyright warning, placed earlier this morning (Slavuta33 copied and pasted directly from www.encyclopediaofukraine.com; see here). That's a separate issue from the edit warring and nationalist POV-pushing, of course. Appreciate your help. Antandrus (talk) 21:23, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

User refuses to collaborate with a handful of other users. I've seen that most of their edits have to do with not matching the information presented on the article with the proper citation, claiming "more sources" are needed when there's already properly cited reliable citations provided, as well as reverting edits that make information more cohesive. DantODB 23:14, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Result: No violation of 3RR, but the editing of this article is very confused. There has been IP vandalism and possible sockpuppetry.

Repeatedly removing sourced claims as IP and under username. Chrissymad ❯❯❯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 01:06, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Reply

The cnn story is seperate and I was going to talk about it on the user talk page(758017259) I did not revert that I was discussing it with another user from earlier on their talk page that took issue that I removed it.Someone reverted a separate change without an explanation. So I reverted it. She then reverts mine again without reason but with a claim that I am engaging in an edit war. This is incorrect as I just wanted an explanation. My reasoning is justified she is without justification.I reverted once when the person made a revert without a response and a second time when she reverted my revert with an unfounded claim. I also cited the line from the source in my change.

The source says directly "USGS studies suggest that this process is only rarely the cause of felt earthquakes."

My line read "Hydraulic fracturing has been rarely linked to induced seismicity or earthquakes."

The line before said "Hydraulic fracturing has been directly linked to induced seismicity or earthquakes."

The line before the previous person edited which was accurate "Hydraulic fracturing has been sometimes linked to induced seismicity or earthquakes."

• Result: Warned for edit warring. You have a surprising number of talk page warnings for a person who has only been here for two days. Your behavior on this article looks like a crusade to make fracking seem as harmless as possible. If you continue to make controversial changes (such as removal of references, and removal of negative statements about fracking) without first getting a consensus on the talk page you may be blocked for disruptive editing.

Read your own links. "Some other user" was the person deleting the content. And another person supported me on the talk page. JonSonberg (talk) 10:22, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

1) This was reverting content deletion not edit warring. 2) Why are you not reporting the other user who deleted large amounts of content that had been on the page for over half a year? 3) You gave a warning after all the reverts had already happened. But you are displaying it here like you have given a warning and then I proceeded to revert the other user's edits. This is immoral. 4) The other user was deleting massive amounts of content from the page, which I reverted. I was not adding content. 5) It's immoral that you are reporting me not the other user. 6) There are other users who have supported my reverts in this case on the talk page. JonSonberg (talk) 10:14, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

article, as a single article for a single sentence not in plural. Which I accept and have not done anymore. This has nothing to do with it. And you were the one reporting me. JonSonberg (talk) 10:26, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

I added this on the Talk page: The time in history from 540 to 1050 AD is defined as "The Estonian Viking Age" in Estonia by the University of Tartu and it's also included in the school curriculum. Referenced here. Specific details on what to write and display there can be debated. But users are not to delete this section from history. It covers 500 years of AD history of Estonia. JonSonberg (talk) 10:36, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Discuss the changes there and not here. Just let the admins decide what to do, because you are not helping yourself by posting information, which does not belong here. – Sabbatino (talk) 11:39, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Uninvolved ed here; the first five diffs in the report are an uninterrupted series, which usually is counted as a single revert. Note to anyone verifying what I just said - the time stamps in the report are two hours off what appears in the version history. So the list of Diffs shows 3 reverts, just shy of 3RR. That said, re-reverts without meaningful discussion are edit warring except in clear cut examples of policy violations and this looks like a content dispute dressed up as anti vandalism. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 12:56, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Footnote to initial closing

A. WP:ARBEE is explicitly about Russia-Estonia conflict (see motions section defining scope). There is another ARB ruling about Eastern Europe generally Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Eastern European disputes

B. @EdJohnston: I don't understand why JonSonberg's prior history merits alerting him and no one else. Please recall that when we revamped DS in 2013-2014 a H-U-G-E amount of discussion went into termination of "cause" factors for these alerts. The idea was to reduce their perception as badges of shame and use by one side against another. I know you don't mean them like that, but this is besides the point.As I understand the new DS alert policy, anyone including involved eds are welcome to give these no-fault/no-shame FYI alerts about DS to anyone working in that area, so long as they haven't already been alerted in the last 12 months. When I enter one of these areas I usually alert myself, just to help people I subsequently alert can relax about it. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 18:10, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Page protected – 2 weeks. This seems to be a complex dispute about article quality. Consider opening up an WP:RFC on the talk page to resolve the content issue. JonSonberg states "you cannot DELETE content that other users have created and is historically correct." That is NOT part of Wikipedia policy. If material is considered excessive or if someone wants to locate it on a different page (such as History of Estonia), it can be removed. But these removals depend on editor consensus. Since JonSonberg was previously blocked for Baltic-related edits I am alerting him to WP:ARBEE. EdJohnston (talk) 17:49, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

I support the decision. But Estonia is in Northern Europe, not Eastern Europe as your WP:ARBEE tag links to. Enjoy january. JonSonberg (talk) 18:01, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Nice try. Search the WP:ARBEE case for the word 'Estonia'. EdJohnston (talk) 18:07, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Which shows that someone has previously included Estonia as an eastern european country, nothing else JonSonberg (talk) 18:10, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

• Comment - involved editor here, so take it with all the necessary grain of salt, but frankly to me it seems that User:JonSonberg has some basic competency issues. I have hard time seeing other reason for repeated insertion of unsourced trivia despite objections, especially then he is sometimes duplicating facts that are already in the article.--Staberinde (talk) 18:33, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

I might not be as eloquent in wording as you are, but I love my country and care about the historical accuracy of the page. You, on the other hand, seem to have an agenda that is equal to that of russian propaganda trolls JonSonberg (talk) 18:40, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

word courses is wrong. I means sources (from research or other) I have putted now in sandbox of Cochlear implant to rebuild. I know about cochlear implants. It must balance between two communieties. but nobody have asked to rewritten or added more sources. sandbox is a good solution for rewritten content. And I have found archive from consesus. nobody have added commented to proposal of Jytog. [24] I think that nobody have rewritten.

User is removing maintenance template related to a dispute in which that user is involved. Ibadibam (talk) 01:16, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Ay the OP parachuted from ANI where they made a clueless !vote, and into a behavior issue (not a content dispute), and is blindly tagging the article, which is WP:DISRUPTIVE. There is no content dispute - there is only disruptive editing by an editor about be topic banned at ANI. Why Ibadidam has chosen to actually pretend that there is a valid content dispute, I have no idea; no one who has looked at this sees a content dispute, except Amnccaff who as I said is on the edge of a TBAN. I have asked the OP three times to state their position on the "content dispute" - diff, diff, diff at the article Talk page. no response. Again there is no valid content dispute. Jytdog (talk) 01:26, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

I see 3 reverts, so it is not a 3RR violation. I just took a quick look at the page and the ANI, and I think that Jytdog's description is accurate. That said, Jytdog, it would be no big deal to have just left that small inline under discussion tag there. --Tryptofish (talk) 01:33, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Look here. I acknowledge that I have done edit warring. But after you warned me. I just did something to the article just what Zupotachyon said to me in the article talk page. I did not revert the article again. CWJakarta (talk) 03:49, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Here you reinserted the word "international" and then gave a misleading edit summary.--Adam in MO Talk 03:52, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Yes. But I was doing what Zupotachyon said. This is what he said: "'I would recommend including the official name and the common name (where it does not have "International") afterward. An example could be "Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman International Airport, known as Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Airport," then referring to the airport later in the article without the "International'". That's all what I did. I do not have the intention of starting another edit war. As for the previous edit warring, I just want to say that I deeply apologise for what I have done.

Prior report here. BigBaby23 actually complained that I filed that here but they moderated their behavior a bit (note no edit warring diffs from Dec 26 (end of last report) an Dec 30, but when it was allowed to drift off the page with no action, they just picked up where they left off, trying to force content into the article that is not accepted by any other editor at the page.

here they accuse User:Doc James of advocacy, for pete's sake. And most recently here they "threatened" to start a criticism section.

Again, their last block for edit warring fringe-y content on a health article led to a 2 week block. More is needed. Jytdog (talk) 04:29, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Yes would be useful to have a brief block IMO. They need to wait for consensus and have been at about 3 reverts a day for the last week. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 08:31, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

• So after I filed the first EWN case linked above, they stopped edit warring and tried to seek consensus on the Talk page with a series of drafts for the content. I filed this one, and they again actually used DR. This editor understands exactly what they are doing, and they are gaming the system, edit warring to try to force their content in and only resorting to DR when a block is imminent. Bad news.

Although s/he reverted this particular article only three times in a 24 hour period, it was done at a time when s/he had also been reported for similar behaviour on another article by another user on the same day (for which Kellymoat had broken 3RR). Both article pages have now been protected, but this is an ongoing problem with Kellymoat who has a vast history of edit warring and his/her talk page history is filled with warnings about such behaviour. Possible tag-teaming issue with Kellymoat and User:331dot which is already being investigated. Action required please. 86.178.110.23 (talk) 01:03, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

• The record will clearly bear out that there is no coordinated "tag teaming" of anyone nor am I a sock as the IP user has also alleged. The IP user seems to consider any edit they disagree with as "vandalism"; I am still willing to discuss any disputed edits with them if they wish. In making this report, they should watch out for the boomerang. 331dot (talk) 01:17, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

The original "edit war" earlier today was brought on by a sock puppet who has since been blocked. In fact, one of those 3 reverts to the Fleetwood Mac page was from him specifically targeting my edits. Did I mention - he is now blocked!

As to the "page protection", I requested -- let me repeat that -- I REQUESTED page protection on numerous pages to prevent that same sock from continuing to vandalize. So, you can hardly use that against me, lol. However, it was not me that requested page protection on the Fleetwood Mac page. It was 331dot, and he requested it from you and the sock.

But, let me clear something up for you. My page is not "filled with warnings". My page is filled vandals (most of whom eventually get blocked) complaining about me not allowing their vandalism. For example, of the 17 issues currently on my talk page, 4 of them were from that same sockpuppet.

Repeated removal of material; mind you, the editor is not completely wrong, but their WP:BATTLEFIELD approach and offensive edit-summaries make it impossible to communicate effectively with them, or to attempt to make a semi-decent article out of what is left.

• No violation While the edit summaries are, well, colourful, Motthoop is actually right that the article is a utter-train wreck of unreliable or semi-reliable sources, and needs a serious WP:NUKEANDPAVE. So I'm going to let them off per WP:3RRNO for WP:BLP (on the grounds the victims' families are presumably still alive and wanting justice that hasn't happened) . I've had a word.

@Ritchie333:} I agree. Can that be done then? O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 17:50, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

My first preference was to send the article to AfD; however there are enough sources to avoid that. I have added {{fact}} tags where appropriate, but I will want to read all the sources and understand the subject before going anywhere near it. I assume the subject of this report is part of the Keddie community or related to it, which is a conflict of interest if true. In any case, I am going to watch the article and see what happens next. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 17:52, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Right. What I believe should be removed ASAP is the image, and perhaps even more importantly, the naming of suspected murders, both of which are unsourced- and, I think, should be? (ping Ritchie333 btw) O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 17:57, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

@Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi: I've wiped the infobox, which seems to be the worst offender. I'm just about to nip out, but if you can remove the most contentious unsourced content, that would be helpful. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 17:59, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

24 hours and 5 minutes is still edit warring. Intentional waiting out the clock. User keeps adding word press source, insisting it's reliable. Edit summaries and contents like this suggest the user does not understand RS or refuses to try to. EvergreenFir (talk) 20:47, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

I almost feel as though I shouldn't comment, since I have actually seen The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. But I'll briefly add a note -- Mr. Bigbootay, as a licensed attorney, you should be quite familiar with the difference between substantive and procedural matters. You've been brought here because of a procedural violation, and you are offering a substantive defense. If you grab a judge by the arm, you'll likely be held in contempt. It would be no defense to that contempt to say "but the judge really needed to see something." Instead of relying on ipse dixit as to what is and is not a reliable source, please consider persuasion and, frustrating though it may be, following Wikipedia procedure. Thanks. Dumuzid (talk) 21:30, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Response to Amicus by User Dumuzid

Since you've attempted to discuss the issue as if you're a lawyer, I will respond in kind. I respectfully disagree that the issue is procedural. The issue is the reliability of the sources, with respect to the controversy re Justanswer's business practices. That is a substantive issue, in the same manner as whether or not evidence is admissible. I'm not the one forcing the reversions of the section in dispute. That honor goes to [User:EvergreenFir]]. He (or she) could have brought the disputed section to the attention of the community for a policy decision, rather than attempting to act as the judge and engaging in a unilateral deletion.

Were the sources formatted incorrectly, that would be a procedural issue.

Additionally, you have characterized this issue as one of policy. With respect to civil procedure and law in general, a "policy violation" is substantive! The typical policy issue in evidence law is where evidence is excluded because, "its probative value is substantially outweighed by a danger of one or more of the following: unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, misleading the jury, undue delay, wasting time, or needlessly presenting cumulative evidence." Fed. R. Evid. 403.

On this point, there is no attempt to unfairly prejudice the Wikipedia audience, because the controversy is neutrally provided. Both positive and negative websites and opinions are displayed and referenced. The issue is not confusion -- at least not to anyone who is interested in the controversy vis-a-vis my opinion about what is or is not a reliable source for the purposes of the controversy issue. There is no attempt to mislead the audience, for the same reason as applies to Rule 403's "confusion" factor. There is no attempt to delay. If anything, my opponent is attempting to delay the introduction of the issue into a public forum. And, the sources are not cumulative. They are succinct and probative to the issue.

In sum, the section of the Justanswer Wikipedia entry headlined: "Controversy", while it may offend your collective editorial sensibilities -- it is nonetheless an objective, well-sourced discussion that effectively presents the controversy that it purports to present. Therefore, it should remain as part of the Wikipedia entry.

That said, and given my knowledge of how the world really works, I may be wasting my time trying to logically argue this issue -- because I suspect that the Wikipedia editorial community may determine to support my opponent, given his or her lengthy tenure in this venue. No matter. I argue for a living. Sometimes I win -- sometimes not. It comes with the job! Jonbigbootay (talk) 00:01, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Mr. Bigbootay, with all due respect, do you understand the policy of WP:3RR and why it is we're here? Nothing thus far indicates to me you do. Dumuzid (talk) 00:23, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Reply to User Dumuzid

Mr/Ms. Dumuzid, if you review the revision history of the page, I believe that you may find that I am not in violation of the WP:3RR policy. Jonbigbootay (talk) 01:01, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Well, I suppose reasonable minds can differ here, but I see four reverts in 24 hours and 5 minutes. To quote the policy page, "Fourth reverts just outside the 24-hour period may also be taken as evidence of edit-warring...." This would seem like one of those cases to me. Now, to be clear, if you were to self-revert the last change, I'd view this request as entirely moot (for what that's worth!). Thanks. Dumuzid (talk) 01:09, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

This is clear WP:GAMING. Five minutes outside the 24 hour window? You're still edit warring. EvergreenFir (talk) 01:16, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Response:

I may not understand the Wikipedia community's cultural mores -- but, as a licensed attorney at law, I am fully conversant with whether or not evidence is admissible in court. And, it seems to me that if what I'm posting about Justanswer would e admissible in court, then that should be more than adequate as a "reliable source" for Wikipedia purposes.

Evidence is admissible if relevant to prove or disprove a fact at issue. Here, the issue is the controversy over Justanswer's business practices. The sources are provided to demonstrate the controversy that exists. The sources are not being offered to prove the truth of their assertions. The weblog posts may individually be unreliable as to their assertions of truth -- but, the weblog post dates are highly likely to be reliable -- and, it is nearly certain that a weblog with more than 1500 posts about Justanswer, is not merely the ranting of a few individuals who are raging against the organization.

Thus, there is a genuine controversy, and the referenced sources are fully demonstrative of this. Therefore, the sources, though they may be unreliable to prove the truth of the matters asserted, are nevertheless relevant and reliable for the purpose of the controversy re Justanswer's business practices.

Notifications of this discussion: Brandmeenn / MatthewTardiff

I became aware of some concerns by MatthewTardiff when help was requested at my talk page. I advised MatthewTardiff to warn correctly if needed. Shortly after, MatthewTardiff warned Brandmeenn on their talk page about removal of content. I was again notified of trouble by MatthewTardiff, which I responded too by giving an Edit Warring notice to Brandmeenn and telling MatthewTardiff to attempt to collaborate with them at the article talk pages. The issue appears to have escalated again (per MatthewTardiffs comment on my talk page) and it appears to need some sort of resolution from an administrator.

MatthewTardiff reached out to Ymblanter on their talk page regarding this. MatthewTardiff also appears to have engaged in questionable conduct at this users talk page. Overall, an IBAN may be necessary as this has spanned multiple wrestling related articles for both of these users.-- Dane ^talk 01:32, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Yep, I am absolutely reverting those edits. I've also made 100 other edits in the past 24 hours. And I have opened up an SPI into the above user and two IP users that are involved on this and other pages.Kellymoat (talk) 20:58, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

It is actually 3 IP users. I missed that last one. Kellymoat (talk) 21:27, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Why are you reverting these edits? None of the edits, form what I could see, were unconstuctive. In fact, most of them were constructive, and at the very least true information. So I'm really not sure why you're doing this. you kept saying on the page for "I See You" that it said "Say Something Loving" was a single on their discography page, but it doesn't, I checked. So your reason is invalid. PeopleEater143 (talk) 21:01, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

I guess the problem I have is that you have yet to give one valid reason for reverting mine and the other user's edits. You simply keep reverting them without giving any reason other than that you think I'm a sock of them. But the edit-warring on the page "I See You" was going on before I got involved, so it must be more than that. PeopleEater143 (talk) 21:02, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

I have given plenty of reasons. You just ignore them.

Oddly enough, why are you only questioning those few edits? The ones made by the ip user. But none of the others that I have made. I mean, I have 500 edits in the past 76 hours. Surely, you could be finding more questionable edits than just the ones belonging to you-- err, I meant the IP User. You are just digging a hole for yourself in the SPI. Kellymoat (talk) 21:14, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

So you admit that you make edits that are wrong? Wow. If you must know, I simply found your edits to be unreasonable and incorrect.

I'm fighting an uphill battle trying to explain how WP:RS works, but at this point I think any further attempts will be futile, based upon some responses.

The long and short of the matter is Archer is claiming that RS somehow need to "back" or justify their reporting. They don't.

I'd prefer if the reviewing admin would opine on the gist of WP:RS not having to validate their claims, and then allowing Archer to self-revert instead of a 3RR block.

Archer is newish, and up till now has been willing to use the talk pages and had drawn a line in the sand. That man from Nantucket (talk) 21:48, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

No Nantucket, if you're going to report me at least actually describe my argument and not your characterization. You see, his edit used a source that was unable to provide evidence for it's claim that said sub-reddit was "racist".

Look, you strike me and someone who is both unable to have a reasonable discussion and someone who is a fan of antagonizing people. I'm just going to wait for the administration to do whatever they see fit and be done with this whole event. Archer Rafferty (talk) 22:25, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Warned. I believe AGF they weren't aware of what they were doing, but if it continues further... Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 20:55, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

• I leave Wikipedia in protest because I feel discriminated against my ethnicity. My country is named Hellas and the name Greece offends my ethnicity. The Romans used the name Greece when they conquered my country and they used the word Greek to mean slave. When I wrote the article I used "Hellas (Greece)", then they reverted me and I tried to solve the dispute by using "Hellenic Republic (Greece)" and even "Greece (Hellas)" but they kept reverting me. My country is glorious and I'm a devout Hellene nationalist, calling my country "Greece" is unacceptable because it is a name used by the evil Romans. I edited the Name of Greece article giving sources about the Hellas-Greece issue and references to calls by politicians to change the international name of our country but other users deleted my additions, further offending my ethnicity. I will not edit on Wikipedia anymore as you have offended my national emotions. When the time comes Hellas will establish a worldwide empire and Wikipedia will come under the control of Hellenes, when this happens I will return to this site. For now, goodbye!

User was warned concerning 3RR by another user, plus warned about unblanking content that had been blanked as attack content. Safiel (talk) 05:36, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

The defense speaks. You are being disinengenous. I am trying to add references to deal with the criticsisms of the article, and you are preventing me from doing so. I have furnished more than enough sources to establish that my page is not an attack page. I left the tag, all I did was unblank, so I can continue adding reliable references to the article which establish its notability. What are you trying to achieve here? Unblanking cannot plausibly be considered "edit-warring." Blanking is a nefarious tactic which prevents the article under possible deleton from being improved. It is outrageous that anyone should object to me unblanking the page, so that I , and others (including those criticizing it) can continue to improve it. This is not an established page but one in active construction; blanking is manifestly harmful to the project's goals. Human, All Too Human (talk) 05:38, 11 January 2017 (UTC

Comment by an involved editor: Human, All Too Human needs some basic education on what Wikipedia is and is not. I see potential in him becoming a good contributor once he "gets" what the rules are, both in the letter and more importantly in the spirit. I would recommend that any response be done with this in mind. Mentoring and guidance would be a lot better for the project in the long run than a block or topic-ban. Fair warning to potential mentors: Until he starts to "get" it, he may "push back." If you can't deal with that, don't volunteer to mentor him. I've been here about a decade now and he reminds me of myself back then: I was editing in good faith and thought that I knew the rules - I was following the letter of those rules I knew about, but wasn't aware that there were more rules I didn't know and wasn't fully aware of the spirit of the rules I did know. I would hate to lose a likely good future editor because he started with a controversial subject and didn't know how to behave and we ran him off. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 05:51, 11 January 2017 (UTC) update Damn, he had me fooled. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 15:07, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Uninvolved explanatory note; Human, all too human when an article is tagged as G10 using twinkle, the page is automatically blanked. The reason being potential defamation of a living person. Mr rnddude (talk) 06:24, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Re-ping; Human, All Too Human. Mr rnddude (talk) 06:25, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

so then maybe they shouldn't use that tool in that instance. Perhaps they should take the time to examine the references before screaming "libel" when I am quoting as closely to verbatim from CNN and a dozen other sources as I can without commitimg plagiarism. Simply consider the fact that if there are objections to a page, blanking removes any opportunity to fix them. I cannot add references or address objections to the article while blanked. Reverting the blanking is not edit-warring, and bringing me here over reverting article blanking by editors who had neither read the article at hand or the original sources was a waste of everyone's time which did nothing to contribute to improving the article or indicating which aspects of it they objected to. If content is being hosted on CNN, NY Times, Vox, Buzzfeed, mother jones, The Guardian, AU, and 50 other places, it seems to me deeply disingenuous to claim that my material is "potentially libelous." Such a statement betrays almost no understanding of what libel is. No one can make a plausible claim of libel on the basis of Wikipedia writing "NY times states that X was alleged." If I had made something up with no sources, I can see the argument for blanking the page, but most of what I wrote was very close paraphrasing with references. Should we blank CNN and the NyTimes too? Personally, I believe the blanking was done in bad faith by parties that showed no indication of having read any of the sources. The fact that I was reported for unblanking a fucking article that was extensively referenced and merely reported these as allegations reported in the media is a joke. I don't need this aggravation.Human, All Too Human (talk) 09:30, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Jumped into a contentious article with a slew of blind reverts of several different editors. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 23:21, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

I stand by the edit but this report is correct: the first edit listed did violate 3RR, which I did not realize at the time. I've self-reverted [1], but in the process removed an additional two sources provided by @XavierItzm:. I'll leave this to be resolved by other editors. James J. Lambden (talk) 01:34, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

User has self-reverted as a remedy. I'd like to point out that the user has documented very well on the TP his objections to at least one of the reverts, i.e., the claim that his edit was not backed up by proper WP:RS; further, he wasn't necessarily just re-posting the same material, but fixing as objections were raised. Finally, observe the original reverts were at 03:32-03:52 and the 3RR violation took place at 23:03. I myself was once almost nicked for editing two consecutive "nights" for me... but I was a few minutes short of 24 hrs (!). Learned my lesson without having someone block me... and it looks like this user also will. XavierItzm (talk) 02:13, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

In the last 2–3 weeks, SuddenDeth has been engaging in a slow-moving edit war to push changes to the band members and discography at Nine Inch Nails. Several editors besides me have removed his changes and asked him to get consensus on the Talk page, but he continues to push the changes and refuses to discuss them. The current item of contention is whether the new EP by the band should be listed in the Discography. Despite this being reverted by three different users ([84], [85], [86]) and at least two of us discussing it on the Talk page (where SuddenDeth has not participated), he continues to push the change.

User has made zero good faith efforts despite being warned over the course of months that the photo they uploaded to the Commons is a copyright violation, per Clpo13 (talk · contribs), and persists in adding it back. In addition to their other blatant wording and puffery for the advancement of the article's subject. User seems intent to maintain their preferred version via no-summary reversions, and by adding the photograph back four separate times today. JesseRafe (talk) 19:15, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

I disagree with the "zero faith" characterization made against me by JesseRafe. If you review the edit history, you'll see that I publicly thanked user for many of their extensive revisions. I took issue with just TWO specific changes made - removal of section "Maspeth Shelter" and the photo I hold copyright for. How can Wikipedia encourage more users to contribute well-sourced, accurate information to the site if users like this are intent on imposing their own viewpoint on what is and isn't germaine to to particular page? I may not have the pedigree as this user has, given their frequent involvement as an editor, but my contributions are no less valid. LIC11377 (talk) 19:22, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Looking into the image's history and the copyright violation (as seen here), and based on your user name there (Queens11377) per this diff, you/Queens11377 identify yourself as "a member of the Council Member's team", which is something LIC11377 has not denied (Note: 11377 is a zip code in Queens, New York, part of the Councilmember's district, and LIC is a frequent abbreviation for Long Island City, an adjacent neighborhood not in either 11377 or the district) but has also not admitted or brought up during the many claims of him/her making what looked like clear NPOV/COI edits. I don't know how this affects the current edit warring problem or whether the user "owns" the photo or the CM's office as an entity does, but the user must disclose their conflict of interest somewhere on their page or/and during their edits on the subject, no? Especially as "a member of the team" they are likely assumed to be paid, and thus a paid contributor? JesseRafe (talk) 20:29, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

I lost my password and had to recreate my account. Yes - 11377 is a Queens zipcode and yes, it's a part of the Cm's district. Once again, I take issue with your aggressive and exaggerated characterizations of my edits. As I stated, I reconfirmed and thanked you for some of the clean up you did to the page, including some of the language that did not meet necessary objective standards. I am not disputing you on this. I take issue with your claim, as mentioned in my talk page, that the Maspeth Shelter issue is not relevant to the CM's bio. I have provided multiple sources from reputable journalists who obviously felt it was significant enough to cover in great detail over many months. Frankly I find it unfortunate that an open-source, user-generated site like Wikipedia is subject to such unilateral assertions as to what is and isnt' relevant. It's stuff like this that makes the average person not want to become an editor and contribute — Preceding unsigned comment added by LIC11377 (talk • contribs) 20:50, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

How many times must it be said that the problem is you are WP:edit-warring and have violated WP:3RR over your stubborn addition of an image which is a copyright violation and that is an extra sensitive topic when it involves a BLP article??? This is why I have already stated that anything you say cannot be taken in good faith because you refuse to even address this issue tangentially. As you have failed to read or respond to why this image is problematic, and insist on a policy of blanket reversions when you disagree admin attention is needed because you are clearly edit-warring. As this also demonstrates a failure to read the basis for one type of warning, it can also be assumed from the above that you failed to read the relevant information at WP:undue and WP:notnews and thus are without any leg to stand on, especially as regards what you claim to be one editor's (me) capricious in the interpretations of the rules. "Open-source" does not mean anarchy nor does it mean intellectual property laws don't apply. These the issues this notice is about. Not your addition of the Maspeth Shelter (which should be removed) or your COI issues as an editor who did not disclose they are a paid staff member of the article's subject. Please stay on topic and discuss only one of your infractions at a time. JesseRafe (talk) 21:05, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Err... He said above that he took it, and that he works for the councilwoman. Whether he took it as an individual and owns copyright or WFH and as an agent of the office then released it for commons use w commons ok licensing, how is that a problem? Or do you not believe he's who he said he is?

(presumably he, apologies LIC11377 if you are female)

There's obviously a wider issue with editing a page with conflict of interest, but I only count two reverts (adding it, then reverting twice when you removed) and the copyvio claim is not making sense to me now. Please clarify it. Thanks. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 21:14, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

The copyvio as I understand it is still open at Commons and until it gets resolved there, it should be treated as still a copyvio, no? Isn't that the course for BLP topics? A different user tagged it in December at Commons and removed it here from this article a few times. I counted four reinsertions of the image today, maybe the diffs I chose via TW were wrong (lack of edit summaries didn't help). JesseRafe (talk) 21:30, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Re the copyvio, I added a note about this to the Commons discussion, but in light of the larger version here it's evident that the other one is cropped from this one and as such it seemingly confirms the origin. I can't see how it would be a copyvio under the circumstances. Someone needs to lay out a claim for violation that isn't answered by the statements here etc. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 21:46, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for response there. I don't frequent Commons much, but another user, @Clpo13: had claimed the copyvio and removed it from the WP mainspace under that reason a handful of times. I won't presume to know how or when the issue will be resolved, but as it was an open issue, e.g. to be resolved one way or the other, I agreed with Clpo13 in keeping the article as it was, with the prior image until a resolution on the copyvio is found. Is that not sound protocol? User is continuing to edit-war, by the way.JesseRafe (talk) 22:00, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Thank you, Georgewilliamherbert. Props for the pronoun apologies. I have directly addressed the copyright issue, by first confirming ownership when I uploaded the picture and now by disclosing my role. Once again, I publicly thanked JesseRafe for their edits, including removal of non-objective language. No one willing to dedicate hours of their life to a page can claim 100% objectivity and I'm the first to admit it. That's why I welcome any edits that help improve the page in this way. I don't see how this is anything but good-faith participation in the wikipedia editing process. It certainly isn't WP:edit-warring. Besides, I have improved on the page by providing accurate, meticulously-sourced information from reputable, internationally-known publications that in many cases have their own wiki pages (something I was careful to always cite). I would encourage anyone to search the Maspeth Shelter issue in google and you will see who major it was. The fact that it falls within the Council Member's district and was intimately involved in the issue makes it worthy of inclusion. LIC11377 (talk) 22:32, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

LIC11377 has again showed their fundamental misunderstanding of what the grievance is and unambiguously thricely reverted another editor's removal of the two disputed items, the photo in dispute and the undue weight section in dispute after a third party, Zackmann08 (talk · contribs) came through the page and removed the items as I had left them there to file this notice as to not violate 3RR myself. This indicates the complete lack of awareness of and seriousness given to WP's policies on this subject and is clearly edit-warring just to win, ignoring any subtext of making the encyclopedia better, just to make his or her employer appear in the best possible light. JesseRafe (talk) 21:51, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Blocked – 48 hours. Regardless of whether the official headshot image is a copyvio, I am counting four reverts on 10 January starting at 16:48. This is the first edit in a series which keeps restoring that image after it is removed by others. The choice of which image to use normally requires editor consensus. EdJohnston (talk) 05:54, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Comment User is now editing as 2604:2000:69D3:B00:D073:7D81:9C45:27AF without attempting to hide themselves as LIC11377, with zero demonstration of acknowledging the purpose of their block and the goal of Wikipedia. This might be in good faith, rather than a duck, but that itself shows the lack of willingness to contribute to the encyclopedia and rather that their only goal is to continue to edit war until they win. JesseRafe (talk) 18:08, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

This is ridiculous. A CLEAR case of someone who works for the subject of the article and is trying to promote the subject. JesseRafe has done all the right things and has worked hard to make sure they are no violating the WP:3RR. I've nominated the page for protection would. The editor should be blocked for much longer than 48 hours as they are now using IPs for clear WP:BLOCKEVASION. User is CLEARLY WP:NOTHERE. --Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 18:19, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

The Admin who has reported me is also involved in the dispute, they intentionally reverted MY attempts to preserve the original state of the article in question per WP:BRD while the dispute is worked out. These were improper edits and the admin knew that and chose to try to make them anyway by reverting my attempts to preserve per BRD policy. It was nothing more than baiting me into break 3RR which I fell for. 75.119.245.130 (talk) 20:45, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Yes, of course I was involved, that's why I reported you instead of just blocking you myself. I reverted you once, while you did 4 times against 3 editors total. There was no baiting, not only did I give you a final warning (linked above), I even gave you a last chance to self-revert before taking you here, which you declined. You were essentially given 2 last chances, and still refused to change. Yelling "BRD" every time you revert another editor does not give you immunity to 3RR. BRD is an WP:ESSAY. 3RR/Edit Warring is a WP:POLICY. Sergecross73 msg me 21:04, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Human like you (talk · contribs) is engaged in constant edit warring with several users in order to sustain persistent POV pushing, at the moment on the following articles:

• Talk:The New York Times (edit | subject | history | links | watch | logs): (edit warring to reopen a discussion that had already been closed, earlier as IP 213.74.186.109)
• Norwegian Air Shuttle (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs): (attempt to add content only sourced by Turkish propaganda outlet without using talk page)
• People's Protection Units (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs): long term edit warring [110], [111], [112], [113], [114] in an attempt to include badly sourced material (mostly Turkish propaganda) that has no clear relation to the article People's Protection Units (the article was protected because of edit warring of this user when he was still editing as IP 213.74.186.109) without using talk page.
• Salih Muslim Muhammad (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs): long term edit warring in an attempt to add content violating NPOV and BLP; user was edit warring as IP 213.74.186.109 on the same content before, therefore the article was protected; when the protection was lifted the user started edit warring again which resulted in the block [115] and renewed protection.

Comment from involved editor: I have no comment on the edit war with Oo Eddie oO, whose SP investigation is still ungoing, but I'd like to use this forum to ask for some help from uninvolved editors with the dispute on Bernard Lewis, where I've been fighting an uphill battle trying to have a policy-based discussion on including contentious material in a BLP lead. 92slim seems intent on labeling Lewis and a number of other scholars "genocide denier", and in this case in the lead, despite getting no support and consistent opposition from multiple editors (no matter how you count the socks). Eperoton (talk) 14:32, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, you're the one not getting any support. All of these that you call consistent opposition are obvious socks: [120], [121], [122], [123], [124], [125], [126], [127]. Perhaps, come up with something better and actually discuss in the TP. --92slim (talk) 14:36, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

You've gotten opposition from me, TheTimesAreAChanging and IPs from different countries. You've gotten no support. As for insunuating that I'm not "actually" discussing on the TP, I'll invite the others to take a look at Talk:Bernard_Lewis#Genocide denial and shake their heads. Eperoton (talk) 14:53, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Eperoton, here is support (for 92slim). The academic views of Bernard Lewis on the Armenian Genocide are contentious (he denies it was a genocide) - these views go against academic consensus, numerous individuals and organizations have criticized his position, and numerous sources have written about that position. The fact that a person's opinions are contentious is not the same as contentious material. I will continue this on the article's talk page, at your invitation. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 21:06, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Those IPs from different countries are the suspected one use sockpuppet IPs and the weird newly created user that I mentioned above. You have not really got consensus. It's you against me (Since TheTimesAreAChanging is not even there). I invite everyone to see how User:Eperoton is being so partisan about suspected sock IPs. I shake my head instead now. --92slim (talk) 15:03, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Update - sock confirmed here - Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Delotrooladoo. --92slim (talk) 15:34, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

I think there is almost nothing to see here. 92slim was technically in the wrong by repeatedly reverting an (at the time) unproven sock, but in this case it was so obviously a sock (a newly created account, editing just a single article, repeating the editing aim of proven socks who had either also worked on that same article or who had tried the same editing aims on similar articles) that this is not a serious infraction in my opinion. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 21:25, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

92slim, I have a question that relates to an edit on a different page, but it seems to me to be a similar issue to those described above, in a similar time frame. Please can I ask for the basis of your claim here that Carlotm is a sockpuppet? I am not saying you are wrong or right, I just don't see a basis for that claim, and it might be helpful for other editors to assess the merits of that edit - especially in the light of the discussion above - if you could provide one. Thanks for your help. zazpot (talk) 15:50, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

I also don't think Carlotm is a spa. However, they jumped into an article on a contentious subject straight after a series of IP edits that probably are spa, and, in a single edit, done without any prior talk page discussion, reworded or reordered large sections of the text, accompanied with a completely inadequate edit summary for such a major edit. So, in the context, I think it would be easy to confuse Carlotm with that earlier IP editor or the editing style of a spa. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 21:43, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

I am not a sockpuppet. 92slim is getting too excited and most likely didn't even read my changes, which, mostly, were not about content but about text flow, a more logical one and with less repetitions. If I reused a flawed text and ref (Simele massacre), which I did just by unlucky chance (I work offline), 92slim should have corrected it and not reverted everything and, on top of it, with a false assertion. It is absurd the suggestion by Tiptoethrutheminefield that I should have opened a discussion for changes not affecting the content. He should look at it and consider if the result is a better text or not. Unless he want to hibernate Wiki pages, which is not a good idea, given their average current condition. Carlotm (talk) 00:19, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

I think it is almost impossible to consider if the result is a better text or not. The diff [128] reveals you made substantial changes, and the differences are so spread out throughout the article that it is very difficult to identify what is new content, what is rearranged content, and what is reworded content, let alone assess whether all or part of that newness, rearrangement or rewording was a good thing. Such a substantial amount of change shouldn't be done to any article in just a single edit, let alone one on a contentious subject. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 02:34, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

Tiptoethrutheminefield, I edited the lede and the "Etymology" chapter only. So you cannot say that my changes "are so spread out throughout the article". It is not a difficult task to read about lede and "Etymology" twice, the preceding version and mine. And there is no new content at all, except for the substitution of a CBS interview with Raphael Lemkin, not available anymore, with an UN interview with the same personage. I also removed one of three identical etymology explanations. All the rest is rewording and rearranging, sometimes in depth rewording having to overcome incomprehensible passages (there is a {{clarify|reason=Whole para is confused}} tag). For the lede, I changed the wording of the initial para, which was, and still is, thanks to 92slim, not even in correct English. In the last sentence of the lede I added the name of Lemkin, absurdly absent, and substituted a long list of historical massacres with a plain Wikilink to the page where everything can be conveniently assessed. Even if I made some mistakes they didn't warrant a reversion and could have been easily adjusted punctually. For these pages where guardians and owners are in the majority a notice should be put above the lede warning willing editors not to waste their time by trying to make improvements. Carlotm (talk) 09:18, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

My point remains - that is a lot of different editing aims to be incorporated into just a single edit, and I think the resulting complexity of the diff makes it unreasonably difficult for other editors to assess the quality of the edit in whole or in its individual parts (for articles on controversial subjects it is important that editors do such assessments). I think it would have been better if these changes had been done through several edits, each having its own edit summary explanation. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 15:09, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

This is a documentary advocating pseudoscience, and we get people who come and aggressively want to "balance" it.

I tried to make very small improvements to both the tone and content of this article and Jytdog has continually reverted my contributions. Jytdog Is actually the one in violation of WP:3RR and is trying to block others from helping make the article better. I'm not a prolific wiki editor, but over the years when I come across a bad article I like to try and add my small contributions to help. This user seems to be trying to bully me into non-participation by leaving borderline threatening messages on my talk page and I'm frankly dumbfounded as to why they are doing this to me. Byates5637 (talk) 01:11, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

You stumbled into a serious topic, as I have tried to tell you several times. If you understand a notice of DS as "threatening" there is nothing I can do about that. If you don't understand DS and why they exist, you should ask. Jytdog (talk) 01:13, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

This editor Jytdog is now following me to different pages reverting everything I do. How do I make them stop? Byates5637 (talk) 01:59, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

• (edit conflict) So Byates5637 just shifted to the Andrew Wakefield article which has been on my watchlist for a long time, to the discussion of Vaxxed there, and did:

1. this, 13:52, 12 January 2017, edit note "Improving NPOV", removing word "propaganda" and was reverted by someone else,
2. then this 01:50, 13 January 2017, to attribute "propaganda"
3. this 01:58, 13 January 2017, reverting additional refs I had added.

The intention to keep trying to force a WP:GEVAL perspective into WP about Vaxxed is very clear. Jytdog (talk) 02:02, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

I did not "shift" to that article. I was making contributions there since earlier today before you began stalking me and edit warring over every contribution I make. Byates5637 (talk) 02:08, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

Thankyou User: Widr for allowing me to defend myself. I will defend myself in a polite and in a sincere manner. First of all in all of the above reported edits I was only reverting the removal of well sourced content. One can even see the history of this article. Many other users reverted Tender Nuke for constantly removing the well sourced content without explanation. See 1 2 3. User: Jim1138 also warned him to not to do personal attacks. When he couldn't defend then he started calling me mad and fool. This user was warned 3 times on his talk page but he still started removing the sourced content which he doesn't like. So in this manner I think that I shouldn't be blocked Terabar (talk) 09:20, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

Over the last couple of weeks, TaerkastUA has done little else on Wikipedia except repeatedly attempted to change wording in this article to avoid using the words Taiwan and China or refer to Taiwan as the Republic of China, despite the fact that the articles on those countries are at their respective titles. This has consisted of a range of outright reverts and partial reverts, several of which reintroduced incorrect links to articles that had been moved.

Comments:
I don't disagree that I've been edit warring on this particular article, and it has gotten out of hand, as has the reporting user, however, the diffs do show that my attempts at compromise were repeatedly ignored, and their reporting as to my reasoning is factually incorrect. I did not try to change article titles, merely introduce the formal titles, but leaving the common names in tact. As can be seen in those diffs as well. If blocked, I will accept it, but I have stated my case and I am not the only guilty party to this.--Tærkast (Discuss) 16:43, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

Additionally, I am willing to recuse myself from editing the page in particular, and any similar pages for the period of at least 24 hours. The situation has escalated quickly enough. --Tærkast (Discuss) 19:59, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

• Result: Blocked 31 hours for long-term edit warring at Taiwanese cross-Strait relations referendum, 2004. Seven reverts since 31 December. Having our article on Taiwan/ROC be at the name "Taiwan" has been endorsed in move discussions, and it is implausible that we would use different names to refer to that country in different articles.

The former edits occurred after I (twice) raised the matter on the talk page, but was reverted without any comment there. The fourth edit is clearly in a different part of the non-article-space page, which has been rapidly edited by many people; on a different topic; and regarding a different editor. And all it did was mere housekeeping; restoring an edit which was removed as breaching a period of protection, after that protection had edited - I doubt the editor I reverted had any objection.

  • "Pointed" in the sense that I created a page where you started edit warring to remove opinions you don't agree with, even though the intention was explicitly to list different opinions? "Pointed" in the sense that you disrupt an attempt at open discussion about a subject you care about, trying to stifle arguments against your position and reinstating arguments for your position? Oh yes, it is very pointed from me.

This editor deleted a file that had been added twice to the article Donald Trump Russia dossier, lying and stating it was copyrighted. He also lied that it is not being linked to on other articles on Wikipedia, and lied that the article is not under 1rr. (It is.)

I asked him to go to the talk page, as this was restored by two other editors and yet he continued to revert my restoration of the file which had been added by two other independent editors. He is on 4rr on a 1rr page. My reversions should not count because he reverted first, and thus my reversions after the 1st were only to enforce the 1rr rule, as this was my first reversion, which merely restored the article back to its stable state. 63.143.203.101 (talk) 09:24, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Examples: 1st revert: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Donald_Trump_Russia_dossier&diff=760153559&oldid=760140949

Here, he lies and says this is a copyrighted file, despite no evidence of a copyright. I revert him and ask him to get consensus on talk page, since 2 other editors have already indpendently restored this material, leading me to believe consensus is for inclusion. I also point out the article is also used by other Wikipedia pages.

2nd revert: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Donald_Trump_Russia_dossier&diff=next&oldid=760154100

Here, he violates 1rr, deleting the file again, despite engaging in no discussion. He makes his second lie, stating "it is not hosted on other Wiki pages" despite its being hosted on the corresponding page in German wikipedia. (He speaks German too, apparently, and it stated the same on the Wiki commons page where he was also warring, so he has no excuse for this lie.)

3rd revert: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Donald_Trump_Russia_dossier&diff=next&oldid=760155423

I ask him to provide evidence that a copyright exist, and he provides none, reverting again, referencing a non-existent policy, adding to his growing pile of lies.

4th revert: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Donald_Trump_Russia_dossier&diff=next&oldid=760157564

Outrageously, he states that the article is not under 1rr, when he knows that it is, and would have clearly seen had he gone to the talk page, as I asked him to before reverting material that had been restored by 3 editors (myself and 2 others earlier.)

This editor deserves a block of at least a month for his shameful, outrageous, mendacious behavior. My reversions of his were within policy, as after his first revert, I was allowed to revert his illegal reverts on sight. Plus, he never went to the talk page. 63.143.203.101 (talk) 09:35, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

I shall let the IP's insulting language speak for itself. The file in dispute was added to Commons with a misrepresentation of license. License was first falsely asserted as {{PD-USGov}},[163] then changed to {{CC-by-2.0}}.[164] Both are unsupported. IP user has been deleting several tags contesting the license, and vocally edit-warring about my supposed need to prove the copyvio.[165] However the burden of proof for a valid license sits squarely on the uploader's shoulders, per Commons:Licensing#License information. My warning for disruptive editing has been ignored. Consequently, I urge a WP:Boomerang block on this IP user, which appeared out of nowhere just to contest my removal of this unlicensed material, both here and on Commons. A CheckUser investigation would be welcome. — JFG ^talk 09:56, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

a checkuser for what? So sorry that my IP is not stable, your majesty. Listen: you LIED ON THE TAG, stating that the file was copyrighted. How difficult is that for you to understand? If you would like to propose a deletion discussion without poisoning the well with a LYING tag that states the file is copyrighted, then go ahead, but I will not allow you to post information that you know to be false and have no evidence for. You are the most dishonest editor I have ever come across. You lied about four separate matters of fact:

1. You lied that the file is copyrighted and clammed up when I asked for proof, doubling down with more lies 
2. You lied That the page is not under 1rr restriction (all politics pages are, as you know; 
3,  You invented a policy and then sent me to 2 nonexistent pages as "proof" on my talk page (thanks!) 
4. You lied that the file is not used on other Wiki pages (as you can plainly see on the Wiki commons page)

You have been exceedingly dishonest and deceitful here. It is not an attack to point out your mendacity and flaunting of policy. I warned you this would happen if you did not cut it out, and I informed you immediately that this has been restored by 3 editors and not to remove without going to the talk page, and you just told more lies. The manner in which you've conducted yourself is disgraceful. Please learn to be honest and not make things up until you find the lie that wins you the argument or you can get away with. It is not an attack to say someone is lying when they repeatedly say things that are demonstrably false.209.140.39.119 (talk) 10:22, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

FYI, I have requested an SPI for the four IPs involved and the original file uploader, who may or may not be the sockmaster. — JFG ^talk 11:01, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

enjoy. I'm sure the checkusers will appreciate your request to waste their time, which lacked any relevant diffs or evidence in support of your claims. I already told you that my IP address is not stable and that the IP addresses are all me multiple times. I have no control over this. Moreover, I have no idea why you think that named account is "the sockmaster." .

WP:BOOMERANG. JFG appears to have been mistaken re: 1RR, but has kept to 3RR, showing good faith. In contrast, the IP has gone over both 1RR and 3RR, even though they're clearly aware of edit warring policies. I suspect that IP 209.140.46.252 is also a sock of 63.143.203.101, continuing to edit war on the page. Marianna251TALK 09:59, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

"JFG appears to have been mistaken re: 1RR, but has kept to 3RR" another dishonest editor. Unequivocally, totallu, absolutely False. I listed 4 reverts in the diffs above,, so he did not even "keep to 3RR." Hard to also see what the point of this claim is, since it's a 1rr page. If my aunt had testicles, she'd be my uncle. Point is, JFG violated both 1RR and 3RR, and violated the "no lying" rule 4 times , with 4 separate utter fabrications209.140.39.119 (talk) 10:42, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

it is a 1rr page, so whether or not he kept to 3rr is not relevant. Also, how exactly did he keep to 3rr? He reverted 4 times, as shown in the 4 diffs. The first removal was a reversion, since the material had just been restored by user:Casprings, after having previously been added. He deserves a block and the above argumemt by an involved editor is disengenuous. He was the first to revert, so obviously has more reversions, as is plain to see.63.143.201.7 (talk) 10:10, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Relatively inexperienced editor (started last fall, has (per edit history) 144 contribs. Article needs to be locked, I think. Jytdog (talk) 23:20, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Jytdog has clearly violated 3RR, and yet runs to notice board before I got a chance to

Frankly, and honestly, it's funny that Jytdog went to this board before me (to poison the well) when I was JUST ABOUT TO, since Jytdog clearly has violated 3RR. Check out the history and see the blatant violation (which is nothing new to him, since this whole thing that he started was a violation of WP policy and recommendation, to find better source, if you don't like the source, rather than wholesale removal of someone's hard work and paragraph etc). He's very pot-kettle-black here. (And by the way, my occasional all-caps were not meant as "yelling" but as emphasis, similar to italics...he in bad faith took it the wrong way of course, as it was not whole blocks of sentences, but just a word or two here and there...but he's giving the false impression when he says there was "lots of yelling". No, there was not "lots", there was none in actuality, and rare all-caps, as you can see, with no changes at all by me, on that talk page. He's exaggerating big time...do not take what he says at face value.) Jytdog has clearly surpassed 3RR on this matter. (Also, whatever Admin sees this, please read carefully not only the whole edit history, where this editor has gone way beyond 3RR, but also check out the Talk page, and my statements there. [User:Jytdog|Jytdog]] is the one who should have been reported. He has things a bit backwards.)

He began the edit warring, by violating WP policy to modify, rather than wholesale remove for "I don't like" reasons. If he had a big problem with the source, WP policy is to maybe find a better source, rather than wholesale removing someone else's hard work and accurate edits. The article was sorely lacking, any elaboration of what was briefly stated in the lede. It was good faith, sourced, and accurate, and he spat on it, and removed it, and has violated 3RR big time here.

Both editors blocked – for a period of 24 hours King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:16, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

King of Hearts I am not sure whether this block was appropriate, given that the disruption had ceased. To me, the block seems punitive, rather than preventive. Yes, edit warring occurred, but it stopped before the filing of this report. Personally, I think a warning would have done the job here. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 05:34, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

@Lemongirl942: They have shown no evidence of backing down, and it's not just edit warring: accusations of bad faith, inappropriate use of talk pages, battleground mentality, etc. I consider it likely they would resume the behavior after waking up if I did not place the block. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:46, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

@King of Hearts: I had a look at the Talk:Lot's wife and I see both discussing mostly on the talk page after approx 23:00 UTC (with no edit warring on the article after that). There was ample chance to edit war, but it did not happen. The accusations of bad faith, inappropriate use of talk pages, battleground mentality, etc. is restricted to Namarly, (who I believe doesn't have enough experience editing Wikipedia, and who made the bold edits in the first place). Reading the talk page, I see that Jytdog had proposed asking a question at RSN. A good action would have been to simply protect the article - that would ensure the least disruption and also allowed other editors to opine, while giving a chance to Namarly to understand the rules on Wikipedia. Blocking both is counterproductive here. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 06:01, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

I happen to agree with Jytdog's edits here but there is no question that both were edit-warring, the dispute was ongoing and both needed to stop. The last edits on the talk page (refactoring the talk page, accusation of POINTy behavior) indicate very clearly that the dispute was ongoing. Coretheapple (talk) 13:53, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

The dispute was ongoing on the talk page - but the article itself was not subject to edit warring after the filing of this report. I see a lot of baiting by Namarly here. We don't block editors punitively, particularly longtime productive editors. The refactoring of the talk page was perfectly fine per WP:TPG and the comment about pointy behaviour was not an accusation (it came after the other editor admitted to a pointy edit). I honestly think was a bad block. If a 3RR violation is all it takes to be blocked, we could simply have bots to do the job. We have admins for a reason. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 16:24, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

If there was no ongoing dispute then why did Jytdog bring this here? He seemed to feel there was. It boomeranged, which is one of the risks of bringing a report here when both sides are revert-warring. Experience is no excuse for edit-warring; if anything it is an exacerbating factor. This new editor seems to have a POV and made odd changes but there are simple ways of dealing with such situations that don't involve edit-warring. ANI is one. 3RR is a bright line rule and being experienced does not mean one gets a pass and we come down hard only on the new account. Coretheapple (talk) 19:16, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم is engaged in constant edit warring on the following articles:

• Rojava (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs): attempt to remove material without concensus on the talk page [174], [175], [176], [177], [178], the last 2 being a violation of the 1RR for articles related to the Syrian Civil war.

• Shahba region (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs): attempt of blanking a whole section of properly sourced material without using talk page [179], [180], [181], [182], [183], the last 2 being a violation of the 1RR.

• Tell Abyad (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs): attempt to delete Category:Kurdish communities in Syria though in the discussion on the talk page it was stated without objection that this town has a significant Kurdish minority (and this is relevant for this category) [184], [185], [186], [187], the first 2 and also the last 2 being a violation of the 1RR.

In addition misleading edit summaries: referring to talk page, while the discussion there came to a different conclusion or no consensus exists [188], [189], unjustified accusations of vandalism [190], [191].

This is intersting. I am reported by an edit-warring IP for trying to restore some neutrality to articles monopolized by one or two edit-warring users with a long hitory of edit-warring and blocks (e.g., user 2A1ZA editing from Germany, same as this IP!!). The articles in questions are almost entirely based on non-rekiables sources (or no sources at all) and the OR (including most of the maps used). Please check out the Talk pages and history of those articles. Cheers, Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 19:56, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

It should be very clear that you're participating in edit warring in Tell Abyad, as like the IP. You referred to the talk page as the reason for your reverts but the discussion there hasn't even ended yet and there is no clear result, so your edit summaries for the reverts are completely invalid.

Comments:

Disruptive editing. Although a talkpage discussion was started by another editor, MS continues to edit war through it. User page informs us they are apparently here to WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS on this particular topic. Further: @Admin: You will forgive me if I do not debate the matter with the party here now I have made my report; I merely suggest they perhaps misunderstand WP:EDITCONSENSUS and what is WP:NOT3RR. Cheers, O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 03:54, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

My edits on 15:36, 15 January 2017 (UTC) was not a revert. So I would like to ask User talk:Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi to correct his remarks.

User talk:Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi, who started this section, did not follow instructions at WP:Consensus. After a discussion was started by another editor, he still reverted a stable revision before we reach any consensus. So I think he is not entitled to accuse me of "disruptive editing" or "edit warring". --Matt Smith (talk) 03:58, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Yes, User:Matt Smith has a habit of Wikilawering and a persistent refusal to WP:DROPTHESTICK. See [here] for an example. Somehow they have a strong POV about Taiwan/ROC related articles and will c continuously change any information. Even after being asked to discuss, they will still edit on the article. This is disruptive and sucks up valuable time of other editors. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 04:16, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

I conforms to policies as much as I can. Imo, many times these disputes are resulted from some editors' mis-interpretation of policies. For example, as pointed out by me in the link provided by User:Lemongirl942, she has her own far-fetched interpretation of policy WP:BRD. --Matt Smith (talk) 04:22, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Here is the discussion about my "far fetched interpretation of BRD. I suggest someone read this in full to actually understand why Matt Smith is way off mark here. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 04:33, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Result: User:Matt Smith is warned for edit warring about the history of Taiwan. Though he did not break 3RR on this article, he has been consistently editing since fall 2016 to direct it to his point of view. He also made 6 edits at Republic of Formosa since 12 January to impose the same POV there. As he states on his user page, "TAIWAN IS NOT REPUBLIC OF CHINA, NOR IS IT PART OF REPUBLIC OF CHINA." He does not want to accept that something called Republic of Formosa (1895) ever existed as a real state, and more recently, he insists that Taiwan remained part of Japan from 1945 to 1952. The holder of such strong opinions may not be capable of editing neutrally on this topic. EdJohnston (talk) 15:16, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

That sounds like I simply edit articles based on my POV and not on reliable sources, and perhaps that description is not very fair to me because my edits are largely based on reliable sources. It is not that I don't want to accept the Republic of Formosa as a real state; it is the historical fact that it really was not a state. I can't remember which of my recent edits shows that I "insists that Taiwan remained part of Japan from 1945 to 1952" so could you please point it out? --Matt Smith (talk) 15:30, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Slow-running, but they clearly have no intention of stopping.

Raised at Talk:Merseyrail#Battery-electric_trains

Abusive responses there, and at Talk:Merseyrail#Edit_War_by_Kitchen_Knife

There is a tenuous reference to the possibility of using battery-electric trains on a particular railway line between North Wales and Liverpool. This is credible, as is using electro-diesel hybrids, or indeed doing nothing (as has gone on for years). The anon IP though is keen to push a version that far exceeds the source, including adding photos of rolling stock from the other end of the country in a way to suggest that this other class is going to appear on this line.

Their language skills also fail WP:CIR. Particularly their misunderstanding of preclude, to a level that made their original draft just too hard to comprehend.

Their only responses have been persistent and abusive.

Raised here because there needs to be a clear statement that this is edit-warring and unacceptable, such that it can then be reverted as simple vandalism in the future. Andy Dingley (talk) 00:07, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

• Let us make this clear...I have not been abusive in any way whatsoever but have had abuse aimed at me. The talk page on Merseyrail proves that. That is abundantly clear. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Merseyrail#Battery-electric_trains
• I have had constant abuse from user https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Kitchen_Knife, who has offered nothing positive to the advancement of the article.
• I would not say it was edit war, more of an edit argument on the Talk page. There has been change to responses on the Talk page. The only edit war is by user Kitchen Knife. His last one was some clear form of spite/attitude, as it took away vital references.
• Using the word 'preclude' was appropriate, as I proved on the Talk page, but some did not like it so it was removed, so not an issue. Just find another word. No problem with me. But I received derogatory comments regarding my English from Kitchen Knife and Andy Dingley, which had no base. Andy Dingley is still going on about it, which is non-issue.
• Here is my response to user Absolutelypuremilk which sums a lot up.

1. First, the reference is from Network Rail in the Welsh RUS. Your opinion is that it is a throw away line. Opinions do not matter, yours, mine or anyones. The RUS is a serious document not speculation from a tabloid. I suggest you read back. I used the Welsh RUS as the reference.
2. Andy Dingley stated "there's nothing here indicating that batteries have been considered for Merseyrail". The RUS mentioned ""In the longer term, potential deployment of rolling stock with the ability to operate on battery power for part of their journey may provide the ability in an affordable manner to improve the service offering between the Wrexham – Bidston route and Liverpool". OK, he did mention that English was not his first language so he may have got mixed up. No problem.
3. Andy also discredited the Welsh RUS reference. He then found a magazine article on battery trains running on the Borderlands which was a good find. He thought it was a better reference. I incorporated it, so some cooperation. This mag article used the Welsh RUS as a reference, which I also used as a reference, which Andy Dingley thought was not good enough. I doubt he read matters through properly. No problem both are in. Sorted.
4. Kitchen Knife has offered nothing positive thinking I am some chap who was blocked 7 years ago. He must have a thing about this chap.
5. Kitchen Knife constantly insults me. Wiki is firm and clear on editors insulting.
6. Kitchen Knife has never backed up anything.
7. Kitchen Knife has never been positive or attempted to cooperate to improve the article.
8. Kitchen Knife has been negative all through.
9. The only edit war is from Kitchen Knife. He removed a sentence removing the references Andy Dingley and I brought to the article, which made it POV only. A form of vandalism as far as I could see. It put the references back in.
10. Kitchen knife in 'Reading the runes' above was mixed up about Warrington West station. In general chatting I him told where the station was to be. That may have affected him.
11. Now I ask this again... Kitchen Knife will not cooperate on advancing the article and continually insults me. I will NOT be bullied. Internet bullying is taken very seriously by the authorities these days. Will someone tell me how this editor can be stopped if he does not desist? Absolutelypuremilk, I assume you have this knowledge.
12. Now you, Absolutelypuremilk, appear to have joined in an unprovoked gang attack. 90.213.130.132 (talk) 16:07, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

• The picture is of the UK battery test train to add value and the picture comments state that. It does not state that this will be the sort used, as it is only a test. I could have put in a fully operational Japanese battery train, which are taking fares right now in Japan, but I kept it UK centric.
• Andy Dingley wrote:...."There is a tenuous reference to the possibility of using battery-electric trains on a particular railway line between North Wales and Liverpool. This is credible, as is using electro-diesel hybrids, or indeed doing nothing (as has gone on for years). The anon IP though is keen to push a version that far exceeds the source," Andy does state it is credible. The reference is quite clear and not tenuous, coming from Network Rail. It is the base of the mag article Andy found, and approved by himself with my backing, and was inserted into the article. Andy writes above "a version that far exceeds the source". I did no such thing. I added that Network Rail suggested/proposed battery trains after a successful trial in the UK.
• I inserted a mere paragraph, with references about Network Rail's suggestion/proposal of battery trains on the line, which has produced a remarkable totally out of proportion negative response. I changed the article to appease some of the editors a number of times. They had a problem one word which was changed and an extra ref was suggested which I again inserted.
• Much of it is clear, it is editors backing each other up for the sake of it, because they are all Wikipedia editors in some sort of "club". That is the impression given. This is not good for Wikipedia.
• I do not want people blocked, just want them stop being abusive and dropping their negative attitude. I want cooperation with no arrogance, as that is all that is needed. That is not much to ask for. It is best the people involved use their efforts in a positive manner to cooperate and advance the article. 90.213.130.132 (talk) 14:09, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

QED. --Kitchen Knife (talk) 14:24, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Indeed.

There are three editors clearly opposed to this addition, and on good policy-based grounds related to lack of sourcing. But the IP editor has pushed it in five times now. Before this is inevitably closed ineffectually as "just a content dispute", the closer should look at the behavioural issues involved in that. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:06, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

• One editor continually insulted, so he should be dismissed from this. He should be under the spotlight.
• Andy Dingley wrote: "related to lack of sourcing". Mr Dingley it appears you have selective amnesia. You gave a source, a magazine reference, which was included in the article, to back up the existing reference.
• You are saying that what Network Rail suggests in the Welsh RUS is not worth the paper it is printed on. No one would go along with that. No one. It is an important official document. What Network Rail write is always taken seriously.
• You even stated above in relation to the Welsh RUS reference, "This is credible".
• The "behavioural issues involved", relate to editor Kitchen Knife. Highly inappropriate for Wikipedia.
• It is obvious people have not read the flow of the Talk page, just coming in at at the last second and forming an ill-judged opinion. Impartially appears to have gone out of the window. 90.213.130.132 (talk) 20:28, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

This is simply more of the same. --Kitchen Knife (talk) 21:02, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Crossed 3RR and refusing to discuss on the talk page. Has been already warned by another editor. Lemongirl942 (talk) 05:35, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Edit-warring at Counties of Uganda and Maracha District by user also using IPs 2605:6000:EF52:B200:F02D:8152:909C:8A77 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and 208.54.86.181 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). 3RR breached on the former page without responding to my concerns and edit summaries make it clear user is reverting out of spite. Same user has also reverted a copyedit I made to Jessica Horn. Requesting revert and semi-protection of Counties of Uganda and Maracha District. Suspect these accounts are User:AfricaTanz's: note overlap of editing interests between these IPs and the blocked 70.124.133.228 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log).

I do not know if it's AlexMiller2, but the IP really speaks in Spanish just like Alex did, and still defending the same point as Alex did, I've asked for help here and here, but I really do not know why they do not help me, I really do not know this at all. Philip J Fry • (talk) 00:51, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Result: Page semiprotected three months. Previous report was at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RRArchive334#User:AlexMiller2 reported by User:Philip J Fry (Result: Page protected) which led to a period of full protection. If people have the energy to keep filing 3RR reports you would think they would consider using the talk page.
