I've managed to find all the original "protected" always reverted to by the contributor in question, but have yet to chase down all the revert diffs. What's here concerns only the Paris page - I have yet to add the sockpuppetry (I'm now convinced) and

Description

Page/edit protectionism, especially in all things

to the limit. Should the contributions of another constantly impede on his own, all the above gets 'personal' and targeted. Recent events have been fallacious complaints to administrators and a blanking of any rebuttal to this on his talk page - in fact, this contributor has blanked every message I have ever left on his talk page. In short, this contributor's behaviour is incivil, disruptive and corrupts the editing process.

Evidence of disputed behavior

Manipulative behaviour

Ignoring attempts at pre-emptive discussion[1]. When change announced, warning that any change would be reverted by "other editors"[2]. I suggest a reading of the entire talk page at this point - especially the end - for evidence of my own attempts at pre-emptive discussion and the lengthy wait (I was told to make) for an inexistant consensus - as the page then had only one major contributor: the same giving the 'don't touch it' warnings.

Reverting (most notable):

Please be reminded that at first I had no idea why this contributor was reverting: it was only with time that I found that he had in fact rewritten almost the entire page and was protecting his own edits. At the time it was simply frustrating to have (sometimes) one hour of work effaced with a single pompous click. It took quite some research, but I have managed to find the original texts at the time of their contribution - this way the what and why of what's being reverted is quite clear.

Area, Economy, Size, References

• Original:[103] Edit: [104] Revert:[105] Second edits (ThePromenader, El_C: [106]Second Revert:[107] - Edit war, 6 reverts. Did not change false references: figures of Hardouin's own calculation linked to real statistics for another region entirely.

Because of dispute, fictitious content, unanswered talk page arguments and constant reverts, installed "Totally Disputed" tag. Although he refuses to engage in any dialogue or answer any Talk Page questions and demands for references, tag removed by Hardouin sometimes several times daily.

Area:

• Original: [108] Edit: (User:Green Giant) [109] Revert: [110] - reverted six times by Hardouin, Three times by ThePromenader, twice by User:Green Giant. Partially reverted over several days by Hardouin.

Introduction:

• Original: [111] Edit:[112] Revert: [113], and successively seven times reverted by Hardouin, almost as many by myself and twice by Green Giant.

Misc. Economy, Size, Population Growth:

• Original:[114] Final Edit: [115] Revert: [116], five times afterwards - correction reinstated four times by myself, once by Green Giant

Misc.:

• Original (last edit:Hardouin): [117] Last Edit (myself and 4 users): [118] Revert: [119] Second 'improving style' Revert [120] - plus five others until Green Giant stepped in [121], but then Hardouin Reverts yet again masked under superfluous comment [122]. Since reverted-to statistical numbers are false and have been proven so many times, I re-install former corrections yet again [123]. Since edit was re-installed in haste (and high temper), I edit once again (after two other users) once calmed down[124]. Hardouin returns yet again to re-insert introduction greatly resembling his own... from over a year before. Fictitious statistic present once again. I blow up. Revert war. Ban for both Hardouin and I, page blocked.

One month later.
Introduction:

• Edit: [125] Revert: [126] - note - Hardouin reverts to text of her own dating from months before, in one fell swoop anuls months of edits from several contributors - and this in total disregard of factual accuracy and consensus. In the bargain Hardouin tries to mask the revert under an "installing standard infobox" comment.

Infobox.
The former infobox, a creation of Hardouin's it turned out, was a template used in only one article. Several contributors suggested making one for all major French cities, and taking the opportunity to improve the design/function of that existing. Hardouin chose not to participate in the discussion, but instead made a template for all French articles - resembling exactly the template already existing. The above comment was the same contributor installing his work in total ignorance of all ongoing discussion and existing consensus. Consensus eventually did win, but in the weeks following, Hardouin used every excuse possible to revert the infobox to his own on at least three revert-war occasions.

Misc:

• Two days later, another attempt at correction and removing pompous phrase axed by several months before [127]... followed by a rearrangement of the by now very clunky cut and paste introduction [128]. Other Edits: [129] Revert: [130] under a "you're the reverter" commentary.

Introduction:

• Attempting again to shorten sentence, needless detail and remove dubious reference already decided against on talk page [131] [132] Revert: first by Metropolitan [133], then by - of course - Hardouin [134].

Questions on abusive Reverts:

• User:Stevage: User_talk:Hardouin#Reverts to Paris

Calls to order on Factual accuracy:

• Misuse of statistical terms - User:Thbz [135]

Attempts to reason:

• Most are from archives - Hardouin simply effaces any message from myself from her talk page.
