Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring

Welcome to the edit warring noticeboard
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. Definition of edit warring Edit warring is a behavior, typically exemplified by the use of repeated edits to "win" a content dispute. It is different from a bold, revert, discuss (BRD) cycle. Reverting vandalism and banned users is not edit warring; at the same time, content disputes, even egregious point of view edits and other good-faith changes do not constitute vandalism. Administrators often must make a judgment call to identify edit warring when cooling disputes. Administrators currently use several measures to determine if a user is edit warring. Definition of the three-revert rule (3RR) An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Violations of this rule normally attract blocks of at least 24 hours. Any appearance of gaming the system by reverting a fourth time just outside the 24-hour slot is likely to be treated as a 3RR violation. See here for exemptions. Sections older than 48 hours are archived by Lowercase sigmabot III.

Comments:
Unfortunately I had no other choice to report this user who with different invented arguments want to object an image that is supported by the current RFC. Initially, not respecting the abitration, he/she just started to remove the image, after by his own action cropped the original image by his own taste and reuploaded it to Wikimedia and without any consensus - just reffering to the talk page although noone agreed but objected this - he/she removed the original image and replaced by his/her one. He argued that if the image is altered, by referring the original license may be distributed, but he was told that not this is the problem, the problem is - as mentioned earlier - that he/she removes a map supported by an RFC and he/she adds a map that gained no consensus and goes against the RFC. Still he is pretending he does not understand or will not understand, because also earlier when other user's warned him about discretionary sanctions in the page regarding another issue [9], moroeover not adding anything without community support [10], and/or drawing attention of the result of the RFC and no consensus, he/she continued the reverts and accused more parties funnily "as being confused" ([11]), ([12]). What is really annoying, by his last revert he accused me as "abusive" and not referring to the talk page, although it is not true, since a long time he/she is active mainly only in this page and in not really nice manner continously confront other editors who anyway expressed their negative opinion about this, but accusing me not referring to the talk page, although I did openly did in the edit logs, as well referring to the RFC is an obvious reference to the talk page as well is again a clear attempt to mislead the community and identify himself/herself in a positive manner after 5 (!) reverts what other's really did not do....I think this is the point when intervention is needed, more of us explained him/her the rules, but it is ignored and even we are told what he/she is doing is "legal as per wiki rules"...no comment...KIENGIR (talk) 12:23, 8 November 2018 (UTC)}}

KIENGIR informed me that Iovaniorgovan had mentioned me on this page. (1) When I proposed (to an other editor) that the caption should be changed, I did not imagine that any other editor would think that I agreed to modify the map. (2) I think the following discussion on the Talk page of the article excellently summarizes Iovaniorgovan's editing style: Talk:Origin of the Romanians#Transylvanian river names. I emphasize that the content of the debate is not interesting, it could be a simple, every day content dispute. What is remarkable that he is ready to refer to a scholar's book without any actual basis to substantiate his own original research (or rather faith or conviction). Borsoka (talk) 15:43, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing that discussion up, as it simply shows a lack or reading comprehension on your part.Iovaniorgovan (talk) 20:35, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

I agree with Borsoka, this user have really a one-way interpretation of the rules, if it is something he/she likes , then not rules are not really important but everyone else is guilty for something, but with relevantly less problematic and clear things if he/she does not like, performs every kind of objection, even deliberately "misinterpreting" the rules and/or inventing everything to bludgeon the process. It may be perfectly seen about the maps he/she promotes with much problems, but of course none of us, making the same vica versa, as he/she does.(KIENGIR (talk) 21:21, 8 November 2018 (UTC))

Reply:
This editor failed to read the Talk page where the other Hungarian editor (Borsoka) agreed that: "I think the caption could be changed to "Romanian settlements in the Kingdom of Hungary (c. 1200–c. 1400)"" Borsoka (talk) 01:36, 5 November 2018 (UTC)" (that was in reply to my comment "So, it's Settled Romanians, not Settling Romanians (a subtle but important distinction). Shouldn't the caption then read "Romanian settlements"? If the caption is changed/cropped then I'd be in favor of including it, with the mention that it represents the Romanian settlements as recorded in those times by the Hungarians, etc (also important)."). The caption wasn't changed so I cropped it (all legally, as per Wiki rules). They are free to change it and replace the current photo. Moreover, the caption also bears contentious wording ("Autonomy") which can be easily misread or misconstrued (intentionally or not) in light of certain political movements (see here); to boot, "autonomy" (of either ethnic group) is not even discussed in the article so it's confusing to readers. One wonders why these editors are so attached to the title of the photo (which has no content other than the title) when the content of the map could be easily described below.Iovaniorgovan (talk) 12:38, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

You think if you repeat your misleading in the front of the Administrators will result in something good? At is it is described in the talk page, Borsoka spoke about the caption, not cropping the image, and the the caption is "Earliest mentions of Romanian settlements in official documents in the Kingdom of Hungary (between 1200 and 1400)" that corresponds to this and was accepted. Moreover, the thing with autonomy is explained not just in the image itself, but also in the talk page. Now you introduce a new point that has again not any connection to the topic, since it is about a modern autonomy in the Communist Romania for the Hungarians, not having anything to do with the early middle ages. And please, stop misleading the community with such that "I would fail to read the talk page", I read it and you again pretend something that is not holding.(KIENGIR (talk) 12:50, 8 November 2018 (UTC))

I see you made a change in your reply, well it is still part of your misleading. You still fail to understand your proposal did not gain any consensus, at the same time you try to falsify outher users proposals (we all considered the "caption" the text written by us and put under the image, never any text in the image itself, and you were warned by more users they don't support your cropping and own interpretation [13], [14]). So there is an RFC that you don't respect, there is continous reverts with additions without any consensus and also continous edit warring. Not good.(KIENGIR (talk) 13:17, 8 November 2018 (UTC))

I used the word "caption" when I was referring to the map alone (before it was placed into the article), then afterwards I used "title/caption" or just "title" for clarity, but there was no confusion as to what I was referring to, hence the "cropping" mention, etc. It's possible you missed it. My comment was also added for clarity and context.Iovaniorgovan (talk) 20:26, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

No way, none of us missed anything, furthermore anyone who will check the talk page will clearly see your coining attempt, since more editors expressed immediately that your cropping is not supported and for clarity that there is no consensus for it, despite you continued and harmed a bunch of rules. It seems certain you are aware of what you did, but instead of recognizing it, you try to evade and invent other misleading excuses (hence regardless how try to explain out the unexplainable, still you went against the RFC, without consensus, and regardless of the multiple warnings you just went on edit warring).(KIENGIR (talk) 21:12, 8 November 2018 (UTC))

The two Hungarian editors (Borsoka, Kiengir) screaming 'fire' here have been trying to sabotage this article (Origin of the Romanians) for a long time. Whether it's done on purpose or just through sheer ineptitude I can't tell, but the effect can be easily gleaned through a quick read of the article. Every independent Wiki editor who ever moderated any of the many disputes has arrived at the same conclusion: the article is a mess and is in dire need of restructuring. In fact, we've been having a discussion on the NPOV notice board about this very subject (you might want to take a quick look). The moderator there had this suggestion to make "I would recommend that each of you try to write an outline of what the major viewpoints are, which scholars support each viewpoint, and cite the important sources that describe each viewpoint. Basically, don't put the cart before the horse: don't try to figure out how to write one article from multiple points of view, before you agree on what the viewpoints are to begin with. This exercise should also help clarify the relative significance of each viewpoint, and might reveal points of agreement, positions on which there is scholarly consensus that could form the basis of background sections. Then you figure out what to do with the stuff that scholars disagree on. Someguy1221 (talk) 06:32, 1 September 2018 (UTC)" and yet Borsoka, et al, have refused to comply with it. Now "they" are again resisting another moderator's (@Srnec) suggestion to improve the article, as you can see here. I'm afraid editing wars will be unavoidable unless something is done about these editors' behavior (incidentally I see Borsoka has a history of such behavior).Iovaniorgovan (talk) 07:11, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

@Iovaniorgovan:, your above summary does not properly reflect the facts. For instance, see my answers to Srnec's proposals here ([15]) and here ([16]). This is not the first case that your summary and the facts contradict each other (I refer to the same discussion as above: Talk:Origin of the Romanians#Transylvanian river names. And you are starting a new edit war ([17], [18]). Please stop it. Borsoka (talk) 07:24, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Any independent reader of those threads can see plain as day that you are resisting the changes that should be made to the article and are clearly sabotaging any move in the direction suggested by the moderators. If you hadn't the article would've been restructured (for the better) by now (you say one thing but do another). Moreover, you are the one trying to shoehorn information into the article, presenting it as fact, when I already showed you a couple WP:RS that disagree with those statements. Please seek advice on the appropriate forums before ever attempting to do such a thing, in clear violation of Wiki rules.Iovaniorgovan (talk) 07:33, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

The community and the administrators may clearly see about the hapennings since last evening, that this user does the same like in the articles, he/she does not concentrate necessarily on the real things we have, but a continous deterioration from the topic and the whereabouts, in order to draw the attention away from the real subject; his/her malicious behavior and bad faith activity. Any edit warring notice or the ongoing discussion here about his/her behavior does not pull him/her back from edit warring - (already new three reverts [19], [20], [21]), on the other hand as here and on the talk page of this another issue he/she is not just engaged to accuse other editors [22] with incivility, but as well again accusing Borsoka with "lack of comprehension", that is odd since this discussion here, and the two other discussions referred here is the prefect proof that this editor is:

- does not willing to recognize and see what he/she did wrong (also not willing to understand some rules may have serious consequences)

- completely ignoring/rejecting community decisions and tendentiously rejecting existing consensus or building it

(and he/she dare to accuse other editors of "sabotage" that he/she does continously this regarding the referred topics...should I mention the third time his/her violation of the RFC, pushing and reverting without consensus - despite of the continous warnings - the same with edit warring? It is such amazingly aggravating...).(KIENGIR (talk) 10:30, 9 November 2018 (UTC))

Please allow me to reverse google-translate that for you. If you're accusing me of standing in the way of your vandalizing this article then, yes, you are correct (a quick summary of what the neutral editors/moderators have provided on the content and structure of this article is provided by another editor at the end of this discussion on the NPOV noticeboard.)Iovaniorgovan (talk) 12:04, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

I did not "vandalize" anything, and with groundless and serious accuations you don't achieve anything. You refer to a discussion that has nothing to do with the several violations you commited - not surprised again about your deterioration from the subject - also in the discussion you referred it has been clearly seen the failure to understand and recognize some things, rules and with lengthy deteriorations the only goal is to confront, deteriorate and object. Moreover with this remark "I'm afraid editing wars will be unavoidable" you just reinforced and prolonged your behavior in the future, although you ignore you are here because of your edit warring mainly - next to other serious violation of community guidelines and rules.(KIENGIR (talk) 12:30, 9 November 2018 (UTC))

Information: User yust removed the report. Jannik Schwaß (talk) 18:10, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

That's the gazillionth sock of a perennial pest, totally unrelated to this case. Favonian (talk) 18:12, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Again a revert from the user [23], again a situation where he/she completely ignores WP:BRD. If he/she makes an addition and regardless that the discussion is ongoing on or did not gain consensus yet, he/she is reverting with the reference to the "talk page and/or 3O" - even when the talk page does not support his/her reverts (not the first time as indicated above as well). But when i.e. Borsoka added something - as reffered above - he/she soon entered into a new edit war and reverted it completely, with as well the reference to the "talk page and 3O" or as an "ongoing discussion". Conclusively, he/she applies WP:BRD only when it is about any material he/she does not like, by regarding his/her additions - without consensus or against any other decision - it is not applied by him/her.(KIENGIR (talk) 16:20, 12 November 2018 (UTC))

And again...[24]....although Borsoka tried to explain him/her in the talk page what I was just referring to [25]...how long this can go on?(KIENGIR (talk) 19:51, 12 November 2018 (UTC))

It is clear that he is not here to build an encyclopedia.: [26] and [27]. Borsoka (talk) 01:31, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Yes, and again a new revert [28], with the same tactic, not undestanding that as per WP:BRD Borsoka had the legitimate right to revert and this user should should wait until he/she would establish consensus (with or without 3O, that anyway was not known by Borsoka, since it was launched along with the revert). The most sad the thing tha he/she is accusing Borsoka of edit-warring, although this user makes it on and on, with the double measure referred above (since being reported, already the 3rd (!) edit-warring, with a total amount of 11 (!) reverts (including the root cause)....(KIENGIR (talk) 17:49, 13 November 2018 (UTC))

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: NorthBySouthBaranof is very well aware of our edit warring policies, and has been reported here two weeks ago.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: take a look at the talk page yourself. There are a lot of discussions on the talk page, and while NorthBySouthBaranof participated in most of them, many replies to him are still awaiting a response.

Comments:

Yes, this was over a week ago, but NorthBySouthBaranof performed another revert yesterday, which is the same as one of his reverts listed above, without responding to the stale talk page discussion in which multiple editors disagreed with his last comment there. Obviously, NorthBySouthBaranof wasn't the only one to edit war, but others performed no more than two reverts in 24 hours recently if my counting is all right. wumbolo ^^^ 17:30, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

I made no edit to the article for a week, and then simply fixed one unambiguous issue - there is no such thing as a "stated" gender identity, and the word is unnecessary. A person's gender identity simply is. That is not "edit warring" under any imaginable circumstance, so I don't see a need to further engage here. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 18:08, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

NorthBySouthBaranof has a long history of edit warring [34]

NorthBySouthBaranof was topic banned from gender related disputes for edit warring and battleground conduct: Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/GamerGate#NorthBySouthBaranof

NorthBySouthBaranof appealed his topic ban promising to demonstrate he could "successfully edit in those areas" and wouldn't "leap back into the middle of any fracas." It was lifted (according to one Arbitrator) "on probation." [35]

Despite all this NorthBySouthBaranof is again edit warring and battlegrounding in gender related disputes. Ultimately this will probably end with a reapplication of his topic ban. But a short timeout might nudge him in the right direction, so we can avoid it. D.Creish (talk) 03:18, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Ah yes, D.Creish, a single-purpose account whose edits are essentially all right-wing POV-pushing, magically appears in another entirely-unrelated issue shortly after they also made their first-ever edit to Linda Sarsour — reverting Drmies' well-explained removal of undue-weighted material. Strange, that. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 03:42, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Isn't there a policy that when someone points out problems with your behavior the thing not to do is excuse it by focusing attention on the commenters? I wasn't involved in this article but I've seen your behavior in other articles follow the same pattern. D.Creish (talk) 04:48, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Actually, it's well established that anyone bringing claims against other editors opens their own behavior up to scrutiny. We even have a handy essay about it: WP:BOOMERANG. You might know that if you had more than 1,000 edits and had done anything on the encyclopedia other than push right-wing conspiracy theories about living people and remove well-sourced descriptions of white supremacists as white supremacists. But, well, you don't and you haven't. You're a single-purpose account and that fact is quite relevant here, despite your protests. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 05:01, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

"NorthBySouthBaranof has a long history of ..." - no, but D.Creish on the other hand, who afaict is not even involved in this dispute, DOES have a long history of stalking other editors for political reasons, and who's very first edits to Wikipedia [36] - citing obscure Wikipedia policies - clearly suggest that this isn't D.Creish's first account (he's refused to identify any previous ones). As far as NBSB goes, that first diff isn't a revert. Volunteer Marek 04:02, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

@Volunteer Marek: yes it is a revert of this sequence of edits [37]. I should have been more specific. wumbolo ^^^ 12:53, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Here is straight up incontestable evidence of D.Creish engaging in WP:STALKing behavior and revenge edit-warring: shortly after I made this comment s/he went over to an article that s/he never edited before and proceeded to revert me [38] and then follow that up with edits which misrepresented sources [39]. Volunteer Marek 09:04, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Took a look at it, and I agree. While VM reverted DC many times, VM's always come to the talk page. This has been going on for many months – DC appearing at an article for the first time and reverting VM's recent edit. That's not removing content you disagree with, that's removing content added by a specific editor. While there haven't been much more than a dozen of these cases, they shouldn't continue. VM has the benefit of editing most articles for a longer period of time than DC, but that should be a motivation for DC to edit constructively (most of their edits are to talk pages and reverting mainspace edits). wumbolo ^^^ 10:12, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

• I have no opinion on this particular article/dispute, but since D.Creish dropped by to blackball NBSB, I do want to note that D.Creish has more zeal for partisan editing than respect for (or knowledge of) the BLP, as evidenced by this edit summary on Linda Sarsour: "CRYBLP all you want but this sourced", one of the weakest arguments one can use in a dispute over a BLP.

User VEO15 keeps replacing the logo at Great Britain Olympic football team with one that does not meet WP:NFC (in the process continuously adding a invalid non-free use rationale to the latter). Particularly WP:NFC#UU1#17. They have not made an attempt to demonstrate it does. They only go by their own thoughts. I have have made my continued reverts in the respect of Exemption #5 of WP:3RR (Removal of clear copyright violations or content that unquestionably violates the non-free content policy (NFCC)), even though I didn't actually commit a 3RR violation.Tvx1 12:29, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Extending edit warring here as well (while a discussion was ongoing) - seems to be one of those editors who can't let go of the bone on a narrow range of subjects -----Snowded ^TALK 06:32, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

I find it pretty below the belt to come and mention an article I haven't edited for 15 days nor its talk page for 8 days. That issue has been more than settled in the mean time. I also find extremely low from you that you go and accuse someone else of "not letting go of the bone", when we discussed on that article for weeks with you and you showed no willingness whatsoever to deviate even the slightest from your stance.Tvx1 12:29, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

• Result: No action for now. I've left messages for both editors and VEO15 has not edited since 9 November, so is not available for negotiations. This will get resolved one way or the other. If not, this complaint can be reactivated. The separate dispute regarding Tvx1 and the Tom Pryce article would need some other report, assuming that attempts to resolve the disagreement on the talk page have actually failed. EdJohnston (talk) 21:10, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

I have replaced this close with warnings to both parties. See below. EdJohnston (talk) 03:55, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for your judgement. However, I'm not sure what to do next. From the events it is clear that VEO15 intends to continue to revert me. A fair proposal on moving forward would be that someone reinstates the non-free content of which we are SURE that complies with the WP:NFC and that VEO15 than argues their case at WT:NFC. As it stands now, per VEO15's latest revert, the article use inappropriate non-free content and I think we should no take any risks with non-free content.Tvx1 21:44, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

There was never a problem with the 'parent' image being used in the article in the first place, that was a can of worms opened by user:Tvx1 by uploading the 'child' image and insisting there is an issue where there isn't actually one. Ironically, the 'child' raises more issues for Wikipedia as the 'parent' covers every single base (obviously with the right WP:FUR but Tvx1 keeps on removing — a move they started in June 2016) that the 'child' is meant to cover and then some, the 'child' is effectively a redundant file but Tvx1 is standing by his worms. To sum up, there is no distinct crest for the Great Britain Olympic football teams and the other departments of Team GB, it is exactly the same as the one used by the rest of the Olympians for Great Britain. VEO^onefive 19:15, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

• Result: User:VEO15 and User:Tvx1 are both warned. A block is possible if either of them changes the logo on Great Britain Olympic football team again or modifies File:Team-gb-logo.svg before getting consensus on some talk page that their action is correct. A suitable place for the discussion might be Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. EdJohnston (talk) 03:55, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

• EdJohnston, I will raisehave raised this at WP:NFC, but I think we should we should take some precaution with non-free content, after all we are dealing with copyrighted content, and reinstate the non-free content of which we are certain it is appropriate to use anyway.Tvx1 11:18, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

It's Ifnord who is edit warring. He reverts my edits even though there is no reason to revert. I think Ifnord should discuss with me about my edits before reverting. 217.21.239.230 (talk) 15:29, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

@217.21.239.230:You are making mass changes to lists, blanking them, without discussing these changes on the article's talk page. Wikipedia is edited by consensus, you should use the process. Please see WP:EDITCONSENSUS. Ifnord (talk) 15:32, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

I think we should continue this discussion here. 217.21.239.230 (talk) 15:36, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

• Blocked – 1 month for block evasion. Last block was for one week by User:Tide rolls. This IP is evading a one-month block of a different IP, 90.226.9.15. At first glance, this looks to be Irish-vs-British nationalist edit warring, even if based on a technicality. See this edit: "There are no supercentenarians from Ireland". Though Tide rolls mentioned the longevity Arb case when issuing one of his blocks so maybe this is just a regular longevity warrior with fixed ideas about how to clean up the data.

It appears that User:Jorrojorro is never going to stop, no matter what anyone says. User was blocked 24 hours for edit warring at Sofia Airport on 24 October. After the block expired, they were back at it so I asked if they wanted to avoid a longer block. The next time around, another admin did a one-week protection of Sofia Airport. This user never uses talk pages or edit summaries. It may be time for an indefinite block. EdJohnston (talk) 22:51, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: After an interaction with this user on another page, he decided to follow my edit contributions and this is one of the pages he chose to start reverting on. He claims the "Tours" section of the page is unsourced, but it would be redundant to add a source there when the tours are already sourced in the "Career" section of the article. It's similar to how we list "Albums" in the "Discography" section of a singer/band's main page. There's no point in adding a source beside the album name if the album is already cited in another section of the article (ex. Beyonce). It's redundant.

User:Walter Görlitz has been warned by many admins to stop edit warring with other users in the past. He has been blocked many times in the past for edit warring as well as violating the three-revert rule. I also noticed that another user or IP also reverted his revert of my edit and User:Walter Gorlitz threatened to somehow block that user for making that one revision, which I find strange. Horizonlove (talk) 02:25, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Reverting unsourced addition of content. Should I open an SPI since the anon tipped the scales in Horizonlove's favour? First, they are not "tours", they are performances done by a company in which the subject was a member. It's misleading to state that they're tours. Second, they are not sourced as tours. For all we know, they were performances in a single location that had a long run as many theatre performances are. Horizonlove has no sources to support that these are actually tours. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:58, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Notice, no attempt at discussion on the article's talk page, only comment on Horizonlove's user page after I warned for restoring unsourced content. No warnings either. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:01, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Any attempt at conversation with you has obviously gone left and just jumps off-topic, so there was no point in further commenting. I just decided to take it the admin desk since you want to start an edit war. It's not usual for theater shows to take place at different theaters, hence a tour. But beside the point, you would not have known about this page if you wouldn't have followed my edits and then began an edit war. Furthermore, you have no business threatening to block another user for one revision and then trying to mask it as vandalism. Note to reviewing admin User:Walter Görlitz has also been blocked in the past for threatening another user. Also note that User:Walter Görlitz might be edit warring with two other users User:JzG and 2600:8800:1880:188:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 on this page. Horizonlove (talk) 04:16, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

No threats. Just a curious coincidence. Not edit warring at Billy Graham either. Two reverts is not an edit war. The anon, who appears to be an experience editor, engaged in a fruitful discussion with me. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:33, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Note This may need to be moved to the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. After opening up this report, User:Walter Görlitz decided to try and retaliate against me by opening up a failed and ridiculous sockpuppet investigation against me which was a demonstration of poor behavior. I also noticed that Walter Görlitz wasted no time in reverting my notification on this talk page about this discussion, although I don't have problem with that. There may be some further behavioral problems that need to be addressed on the appropriate platform.

Also note that Walter Görlitz is close to breaking the three-revert rule on Cinematic (Owl City album) page. Three reverts within 24 hours have already been made by Walter Görlitz. Horizonlove (talk) 16:54, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

The SPI isn't closed though. only the checkuser. How long are you going to be following me? That's a clearly problematic behaviour issue that should be addressed. The Owl City album was a case of WP:GWAR and again, not over 3RR. Walter Görlitz (talk) 19:24, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Respectfully we would not be here if you were not following me from page to page (Victoria Wilson James, Martha Wash, etc.) but your bad behavior has made me aware of your aggressive actions, so thank you for that. You've been engaging in edit wars with other users again and instead of helping them or talking with them, you've been constantly reverting their edits and masking it as "vandalism", and then leaving "last warning" messages on their talk pages telling them to discontinue their edits or be blocked. You don't have the authority to block anyone and to imply that you do is another form of bullying and discourages users from contributing. Anyway, I think it is best to let an admin review your actions. If there is no violation, then you have nothing to worry about. Horizonlove (talk) 03:36, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

You wrote that I'm masking it as vandalism. Care to give me a clear definition of what you consider real vandalism and what isn't? I mean, when you were restoring an image to an article against guidelines, and edit warred to keep it, I didn't state it was vandalism. When you argued for a different image's placement against guidelines against guidelines and edit warred to keep it, I didn't state it was vandalism. However, when I see addition of unsourced content, against guidelines and policy, I believe that's vandalism, especially when it's explained. So please help me to understand which edits you think I'm masking as vandalism and why. Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:53, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: Most of the reverts was removing new materials and was not followed by later reverting. Hence no talk page discussion. However, one of the edits were discussed but it did not make Stefka Bulgaria's reverts stop. I had removed some contents on one of the bombings by MEK when Mhhossein said on the talk page the source is not reliable. I agreed and believed we'd better remove them until the source is evaluated at RSN. But Stefka Bulgaria did revert without carrying the WP:BURDEN and building consensus on article talk page.

Comments:

As many reverts consecutively in some days were done by stefka, I reported him last month. As result, The admin let Stefka go without any action but this decision did not affect him. You can see that Stefka Bulgaria reverted nearly all the edits done by other users. It shows that he is trying to keep his own version of the article. Saff V. (talk) 14:09, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

There are two sides involved here - and they all should be discussing instead of adding / removing bits of text (there has been a back and forth situation here from beginning of November, with little discussion). I would recommend protecting the article for some time to foster discussion on the TP - in preference to blocking editors from both sides.Icewhiz (talk) 14:32, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

You are defending a user with 6 reverts in less than 24hrs. Absolutely not, there's almost no back and forth situation here. As the OP said, almost every single NEW edit was reverted by stefka in last two days. The above diffs talk for themselves. --Mhhossein ^talk 16:36, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

I was not defending Stefka, but rather saying this is a two to tango (or in this case - three) situation. Icewhiz (talk) 16:42, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Clearly defending an editor violating the rules and it's not unprecedented. I say almost every single NEW edit done by three editors were reverted by Stefka and you say there's a "two to tango". --Mhhossein ^talk 16:49, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

As for the talk page, the last 13 topics opened in the talk page was opened either by Saff V. or me. --Mhhossein ^talk 17:14, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

1) All reverts were explained/justified in edit summaries. 2) Mhhossein and Saff V. have also been reverting, see recent talk page discussions. 3) I agree that protecting the page for some time would help confirm what can/cannot be included. Stefka Bulgaria (talk) 00:31, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

@Stefka Bulgaria: Your swift reverts are carefully protecting your favored version against every single change by other editors, so nothing more is required, but giving you what violators of 3rr should receive. --Mhhossein ^talk 02:52, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Saff V. and Mhhossein have vandalized the article numerous times pushing a POV; I can provide diffs if requested. Since they cant debate against reliable sources, they’re other option seems to be trying to get me blocked (yet again). Stefka Bulgaria (talk) 06:38, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

• The reviewing admin is suggested to see other cases of Stefka's misconduct in MEK article, specially the points by User:JzG showing, like now, he used to add materials without building consensus and saying Stefka inserts the points he "knows" to be true to, rather than a proper review of the sources holistically." I can refer admin to his heavy revert in other MEK related pages such as Manshour Varasteh, Masoud Keshmiri and Maryam Rajavi when he work on the same article with pahlevun. So, I'm not wondering to see Stefka asking for protection of the page which will make his version of the article safe for some time. Another thing; User Icewhiz is clearly an involved user here reverting to defend Stefka some ten days ago.Saff V. (talk) 06:46, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

  I am not involved in the current edit war. I am involved on the talk page. My last edit to the article itself - on 24 October (so 19 days ago, not "some ten days ago") - was not to "defend Stefka" (please see WP:NPA and WP:ASPERSIONS) but rather to remove undue information from an unreliable source.Icewhiz (talk) 07:38, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

• Mhhossein's recent edit to the MEK article is an example of the issue at hand: Mhhossein's first requests RS for more info, when a RS is provided, Mhhossein then decides he will not include the statement anyway. This has happened multiple times, and is disruptive to say the least.

About the article, there is a POV-pushing issue that I've been trying to help fix. This included some insertions by Mhhossein:

1. "commonly known in Iran as Munafiqin ("hypocrites")" (only the Iranian Regime refers to the group with this derogatory name)
2. "Anti-American campaign" (there was no "anti-American" campaign by the MEK)
3. "In June 2014, when Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) took Mosul, MEK website gave a triumphalist account of the conquest, referring to ISIS as "revolutionary forces". However in April 2015, it called the former an "extremist group" and asked the United States to fight ISIL by regime change in Iran."
4. "In August 2013, Qasim al-Araji, a member of the Security Commission in the Council of Representatives of Iraqi Parliament, stated that the organization is engaged in Syrian Civil War against Bashar al-Assad's government." (no RS found confirming that the MEK is involved in the Syria conflict)

POV-pushing at the MEK page also used to involve user:EoL, who was recently blocked for "Anti-Semetic rhetoric and disruptive behavior involving Israel and the Greater Middle East" and sockpupetry.

Both Mhhossein and Saff V. have falsely reported me here in the past [63], [64] (Mhhossein and Saff V. have worked on over 300 pages together), and Mhhossein's has also been involved in more than a few ANI reports: [65] [66] [67] [68] [69] [70] [71] [72] [73] [74] [75] [76] [77] [78] [79] [80]

Mhhossein has also a habit of casting aspersions [81][82]

About Saff V.'s report above:

1. We cannot include articles as part of "In the Media" section as there are countless of articles on this topic. This was explained in the edit summary and the section title was changed to "Documentary films".
2. There is a tag on the article saying the lede is too long, so adding controversial material to the lede is a no go without a previous discussion first.
3. As edit summary states: "No event has been specified here, hence the )"
4. As per point 2, lede is too long, so adding controversial material to it is a no-go.
5. As edit summary states: "The MEK advocating the overthrow of the IRI is already mentioned multiple times in the article, and, as Icewhiz has suggested, they would not oppose a "soft-overthrow". Don't scarequote."
6. As edit summary states: "Per RS on TP"

References

Here we are talking about 3RR violation but Stefka tried to emphasize NPOV issues! (while in the Anti-American campaign section that was written by Mhhossein there is any sentence against POV).It is my question If the user has a wrong behavior, is it true to do reverts again and again?!here I asked Stefka to demonstrate the verifiability by seeking a reliable source or evaluating the reliability of that source in wp:RSN but Stefka do revert or here after some reverts, Mhhossein asked more RS but Stefke revert with source is considered as blog and finally I (instesd of him) tried to describe the issue in talk page.Six reverts during 24 hours illusrtate that he couldn't tolerate the against discussions or idea and without giving to time to discuss or knowing another user opinion he just does revert.Saff V. (talk) 11:40, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

• My main priority is that the information used derives from neutral/informed/reliable sources. Users Saff V. and Mhhossein have been pushing a POV in this article. I have been trying to clean up some sections via reliable sources. These editors have not been able to debate against these RSs (though they've tried); and thus making a bunch of controversial edits so they can report me once I've cleaned them up seems to be their next best solution. Stefka Bulgaria (talk) 13:47, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

See how other users and admins described your behavior in MEK article (discussion-1 & discussion-2), stop making such derogatory comments, try to abide by CIVILITY and wait for the admin comments regarding your 6 reverts within a single day. I seriously warn you against repeating "pushing a POV" which is a personal attack. --Mhhossein ^talk 17:10, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

This should really be nipped in the bud to prevent further edit warring over improperly sourced or unsourced content that does not meet basic standards for encyclopedic writing like The Artazian branch of Amatunis was ruling castle of Maku (they original Shavarshan) stil in XVth century. I would note that I reverted this as vandalism.Seraphim System ^(talk) 18:06, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Comments:
This person seems determined to rewrite the page, regardless of other editors' objections. Their talk page behavior makes proclamations rather than discussing (e.g here, with edit note "reply to page owners". Doesn't seem to understand what we do here and how we do it. Initial response here changed another user's comments along with the odd proclamatory style. Jytdog (talk) 15:53, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Reply to Jytdog

You are incorrect; I have repeatedly asked you and the other editors to be specific and give examples of which edit is factually incorrect. Collectively, you have replied with personality conflict complaints, followed by rollback of all of my editorial contributions. Surely, not every one of my edits is factually incorrect, is it, Colleague? I notice that you complain about me personally, rather than about me editorially. Am I out of line in asking you to be specific about my errors? Because when I wrote page-owner behaviour, it describes editors who revert all of my edits, and yet refuse to be specific about why my edit is "wrong". In my editorial experience, that is "Because I just don't like it!" Otherwise, why not tell me where are my factual errors, i.e. What section? Which paragraph? Which paragraph-line? Which sentence? Such high-hand force in applying the rules to me does bespeak gate-keeper behaviour. 'Please, Jytdog, limit yourself to my editorial contributions, not my personality.

Among the factual corrections I have realised, is the removal of the unsubtle POV-pushing, by way of Jew-baiting, by always mentioning the Jewishness of a personage, but not mentioning the Christianity of the American historian Daniel Pipes, yet mentioning the Jewishness of the Brit journalists who uncovered the anti-Semitic fraudof The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion (1903). I know something of the subject, but do not command the rules, regulations, and guidelines of Wikipedia. So, please, tell me is there a rule that allows the continual restoration of such specific examples of POV-pushing?

Let me know,

Regards

Chas. Caltrop (talk) 16:17, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

That about says it all. Jytdog (talk) 16:47, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Jytdog and I rarely if ever agree but this report is correct. Coretheapple (talk) 19:11, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Wow! Talk about "see a bit and dream a bit". Had Chas Caltrop popped up on the talk page wanting to discuss whether there was a disparity in the way in which different people's religions were mentioned in the article then that could have been discussed. Maybe a few minor changes could have been agreed. Instead he makes a load of large edits to no obvious purpose, and with very uninformative edit summaries. Only when we get here do we discover his reasoning. He blows it all up into "unsubtle POV-pushing" and "Jew-baiting" but I see none of that in the article as it was before he started on it and I'm somebody who loves nothing more than catching racists, anti-Semites and similar scumbags in the act, hitting revert and putting them straight on final warning. In other words, I'd be 100% behind his efforts if they had any basis to them and were executed semi-competently. Instead I see genuinely puzzling edits. They are not all obviously entirely bad but most not obviously net improvements either. I see edit summaries so uninformative that they do seem to have been chosen almost at random. I see people being confused by this and trying to straighten things back out. I see them trying to discuss with him and getting nowhere. My messages on his talk page sometimes got replied to with non-sequiturs which I genuinely can't make any sense of. More than anything else I see somebody who has repeatedly blundered into articles on sensitive subjects and gone through "like a bull in a china shop" leaving a mess for other people to clear up. I'm not sure if he is oblivious to this but he has been here long enough that he should have some idea what he is doing. --DanielRigal (talk) 19:32, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

I agree, but the general behavior issue you're referencing is beyond the scope of this edit-warring report, which is crystal-clear. Coretheapple (talk) 19:46, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

This behavior is entirely normal for this editor. I'd refer admins to the report I filed on him at ANI not too long ago, which at the time was the third report of that kind in a very short time period. The editor hasn't edited much in the meantime, but when they returned, they also returned to their POV-pushing edit-warring consensus-violating ways. A significant block is necessary, despite his only having one block to date, to convince Caltrop that he cannot continue to edit in this manner is a collegial and cooperative project such as Wikipedia. Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:59, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Comments from Mkenny6

I know that the entertainment industry in Japan is envious and jealous because of the tremendous success of k-pop. They want to inform j-pop by the free ride to k-pop. Produce 48 is one such attempt. But the obvious and unchanging fact is that Iz One, created by Korea's Mnet program, Producr48, is absolutely a K-pop group. Even if three Japanese members joined, this cannot explain that it is J-pop group or genre. Many sources, such as news about this group, are simply having superficial facts. Please do not rely too heavily on these superficial sources and deliver the only fact! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mkenny6 (talk • contribs) 19:12, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

@Mkenny6: I see you didn't respond at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RRArchive378#User:Mkenny6_reported_by_User:Jim1138_(Result:_Blocked), so you've never contributed here before. The issue at hand is your edit warring, not the correct genre of the article. Your comments against J-pop indicate that you're a Single-purpose account dedicated to being a Genre warrior. You don't seem to get it, in which case an INDEF block looks inevitable. ∰Bellezzasolo✡ Discuss 19:21, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Comments from Mkenny6

What are you talking about? Why would I do this to fight a genre war? I just do not want to distort the facts. Have you ever wondered what people would think if they did not know about this group and saw Wikipedia information? Again, this group is a pure Kpop group. Can you say this group is Jpop genre because Japanese members are in it? Please do not distort the essence by hanging on a superficial source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mkenny6 (talk • contribs) 19:26, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Read the linked Genre Warrior page.

1. "Genre warriors almost never provide sources beyond their own knowledge." Y
2. "Reliable sources and consensus are alien concepts to them." Y
3. "Genre warriors enjoy the music of a particular group but would feel (choose one: ashamed, emasculated, belittled) to have the music—and by extension, themselves—categorized in a usually undesirable genre." Y

• This is the same editor who avoided 1RR by tagging a different section of the page? Gaming the system. Nope. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:44, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

You refused to allow the article to be tagged so I tagged the problematic section. That isnt gaming, that is trying to resolve an issue, an issue you have said 0 words about on the talk page. You are gaming the system by asking everybody else to follow the 1RR while you ignore it. We all follow the same rules here, and you can still do so by self-reverting. nableezy - 20:48, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Please also note that article is not subject to 1RR. There's no edit notice. Nableezy tried to game the system but it failed. I suggest a boomerang, and maybe a warning to Nableezy for deliberately disrupting Wikipedia to prove a point. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:52, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

All articles in the Israeli-Palestinian topic area are covered by the 1RR. Regardless of edit-notices. nableezy - 20:58, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

• All I see is Nableezy not happy with how the article is and trying to game the system by any means necessary to get his version of the article. I suggest a boomerang or at the very least no action with this request. Sir Joseph ^(talk) 20:50, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
• No violation.

  "Each editor is limited to one revert per page per 24 hours on any page that could be reasonably construed as being related to the Arab-Israeli conflict. If an edit is reverted by another editor, its original author may not restore it within 24 hours of the first revert made to their edit. Reverts made to enforce the General Prohibition are exempt from the provisions of this motion. Also, the normal exemptions apply. Editors who violate this restriction may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense."

*puts on wikilaywer wig* TRM did not revert the page within 24 hours, there is no violation there. The tag is removed in this diff, the original author being Nableezy. Either way, this is a separate tag to the one removed in this diff, the first being {{npov-title}}, the latter {{npov-section}}. What is worse is that this immediately follows this restoration by Nableezy, which was almost immediately self-reverted [94], with the summary "maybe a 1rr, will do tomorrow". This was then immediately followed by the introduction of the section tag. So, somehow, this has gone from being two different tags to being a 1RR violation in Nableezy's mind. I suggest a BOOMERANG. ∰Bellezzasolo✡ Discuss 20:54, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Both of those are reverts and both came within 24 hours. My 1RR self-revert was based on another portion of the rule, which says a reverted edit may not be re-reverted for 24 hours. There very clearly is a violation here, and Ive added the timestamps to demonstrate that. There are two separate reverts within 24 hours. That is literally a textbook 1RR violation. nableezy - 20:56, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

There's no 1RR here mate, as noted, your mistake, bye now. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:58, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
