Each revert is to a different version, however there is a clear cut vio as there are four in total. First, SIYKB adds this [5], which is reverted by User:Dr.K. [6]. SIYKB reverts Dr.K. (1st revert) [7]. Second, SIYKB removes this image, on spurious grounds [8], I revert him [9], he reverts back (2nd revert) [10]. Next, SYIKB adds the following text to a figure caption [11], but I remove it on the grounds that it is off-topic and the caption is getting out of hand. He then reverts my removal [12] (3rd revert). At this point I leave warning on his page. His fourth revert [13] undoes the a change I made to the wording a while back [14]. That is a revert, and that's four in less than 24 hours.

The other picture was cropped months ago (March 2011) for the Turkish article of Tripolitsa massacre, because of the request of the user who created the article there. And I cannot see a 3RR violation in the article of Greek genocide, a revert of the reliablity issue, a revert of the picture, and a revert of the caption. --

"Removing cited material is vandalism" is an exaggeration and distortion of what the vandalism policy says. The mere fact that a piece of text has a source attached does not exempt that material from policies such as

Comments: The user in question appears to have started using a new IP address. Note (in the talk page discussion) that there is reason to believe the same person previously edit-warred under a different IP address (and was blocked at that time). If this user is going to insist on his version of the material and refuses to acknowledge or participate in discussion on the article's talk page, it may be necessary to request long-term semi-protection. Richwales (talk · contribs) 06:08, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
Further Comment: The IP continues to ignore any constructive discussion. This recent edit [54] to the article's discussion page is largely a personal attack alleging a conspiracy among three editors that disagree with him/her. This type of personal attack led to first a 24 hour block and then a 48 hour block when the IP was using a different IP address (see User talk:74.192.7.135).

Also a pattern of contentious editing by IPs who don't show much interest in getting talk-page consensus, that has been going on for about a month. If you want to argue a lot and be involved in reverting, getting an account is advised. The editors should consider opening an RfC to settle any long-term issues with this article.

Comments:

Two months ago, I made an edit to the following article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Battle_of_the_Falkland_Islands

The edit was a new section called 'Secret Service Trap'. This section dealt with the influence of British secret service codebreakers on the battle. This small - two paragraph edit - was properly verified and sourced. However, the facts that I presented were disputed by the editor Tirronan (the same editor who has reported me for 'Edit War' now). The editor Tirronan presents himself as an expert in naval warfare and in espionage techniques. He is one of the major contributors to the article. For the next six weeks, he argued that the edit was a "hoax". He continually threatened to report me and to ban me. He persistently reverted the edit. He tried to discredit my sources. Throughout, his intention seemed to rubbish my edit. He attacked me on my talk page and on the talk page of other editors who came to my (eg Jezhotwells (talk) )

You can see the "discussion" I had with him here in discussion page. I had to justify every sentence in my edit - the discussion extended to 7500 words!:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Battle_of_the_Falkland_Islands#Secret_Service_Section

Eventually, I became exasperated at this harassment and requested the assistance of other editors. One of them suggested a compromise: that the "Secret Service Section" of the article be arranged in the following way:

That the section comrpise one large sub-section comprising the "mainstream" opinion.

That this be followed by a smaller sub-section summarising my edit which Tirronan insisted be presented as a "minority opinion".

I agreed to this. I wrote up the section as three paragraph text (two paragraphs for the "mainstream" opinion, one paragraph for the "minority" opinion). This section contained all the citations that Tirronan wanted. It removed some copy to which he objected. It dealt with British secret service code warfare as it related to the Battle of the Falkland Islands and to the pursuit and destruction of the remaining German ships following the battle.

I prepared this new section for the review of Tirronan and other contributors last week. I did this on the discussion page of the article. Tirronan made revisions which I accepted in entirety - and then made a final comment:

Perfect.Tirronan (talk) 13:39, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Today, I posted the section as previously agreed with Tirronan.

Immediately - within a few minutes of posting - I found that the section was edited by the editor Binksternet. His edit made a stylistic change and deleted a final sentence that he argued was irrelevant. He added TWO new sections to the Discussion page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Battle_of_the_Falkland_Islands#.22Was_informed_that.22_vs_.22who_said_that.22

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Battle_of_the_Falkland_Islands#Similarly..._Dresden

I undid this change - and placed my reasons, with citations and evidence, on the discussion page.

After a while, I found that Tirronan had restored the edit. His reasons were not clear. I reminded him that the original text was the one he had approved on Friday - "Perfect!". I once again, went through this argument point by point. I got the following answer:

Yes I disagree and your edit is reverted.Tirronan (talk) 23:53, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

I told him that he was using a spoiler edit to rubbish the section and that I would revert to the original text he had already accepted. He reverted the text again which I undid. I warned him that I would use the dispute resolution procedure if he had not undone the spoiler edit. Before that could happen, I was notified that I had been referred to an Edit Warring section. Here I am. I only reverted to the text that he had already approved less than two days ago!

Tirronan has told me he is a senior editor. He has been in a number of other disputes. I found his behaviour harrassing, bullying and deceitful. I genuinely have tried to be flexible and to offer compromises. I am glad that this issue will now be reviewed by other editors since I genuinely believe that Tirronan's behaviour in this case will be admonished. Hubertgrove (talk) 02:24, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Mostly me actually undoing his edits, and another user Kwamikagami has reverted it on the policy page itself as well, and a further different user Tony has also expressed concern on the talk page: Wikipedia_talk:Article_titles#generally where he started an entire thread on it. There genuinely seems no overall consensus for this on the talk page, So far as I've noticed, only one other user, Blueboar, has supported him, but Pmanderson (and to a rather lesser extent Blueboar) has been trying to simply edit war it through anyway. So that's three people that think it's a bad idea, and only two supporting it, but Pmanderson has evidently just gone to war to push it through, and they're no longer even responding on the talk page. They're at the point they don't care about establishing consensus for it; in fact (regrettably) Pmanderson in particular doesn't seem to have cared about consensus at any point.

He's repeatedly rewriting the policy and edit warring the policy literally to however he wants it, and is not supporting his edits well, he's been reverted by numerous people, and he's not caring about consensus.Rememberway (talk) 07:02, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

This is really, seriously not ever how it's supposed to work on policy pages!!!Rememberway (talk) 07:02, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

I just want him to start editing sensibly to be honest, and staying within consensus! He's more like 'I know the only answer I'm rewriting the policy, and I will edit war until you leave it like I wrote it.' All I've been trying to do is revert back the things that are obviously non consensus, but he just sticks them right back in again. He's made lots of other fairly dubious recent changes that I didn't even dare touch.

It may sound trivial 'generally' but in fact Pmanderson and blueboar seem to be trying to remove the policy by equivocating it out of existence, and without bothering to get consensus to do that. It went from a 'should be a noun' to 'preferred to be a noun' to 'generally preferred to be a noun' which probably doesn't mean anything at all any more. There's no way you could argue with a title not being a noun.Rememberway (talk) 07:02, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

• Quoting Rememberway: I just want him to start editing sensibly to be honest, and staying within consensus!. That should not too much to ask but is a sentiment that far too many editors have whenever they must interact with PMA. I suggest consideration be given to identifying particular types of venues on Wikipedia in which PMA simply gets himself into too much trouble and ban him from them for six months. He may be too much of a pain in WP-space such as MOSNUM and policy pages. Greg L (talk) 14:10, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
  • This is, of course, raking up irrelevant past grievances, something the instructions of this page frown upon. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 15:14, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

This is a report of six different edits, over a period of twelve days; all of them are alternatives - not always the same alternative - to an edit by the complaintant, who has always made the same one; he has therefore reverted more often than I have. No dates or times are given (this list begins and ends with edits on the same day, but they do not even resemble chronological order), nor did Rememberway bother to inform me himself. (Thanks for installing a bot.)

The "effort to resolve on the talk page" consists of

in which three or four editors tell Rememberway that his preferred text doesn't belong in the nutshell, depends on a non-consensus view of what article titles are, and is factually incorrect.

In short, this is a pretended conduct offence, invented to get a fringe view into Wikipedia. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 15:14, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: N/A. There have been numerous posts at User talk:Dcupdates11 trying to resolve various issues, including those related to this report, with this editor.

Comments:

Dcupdates11 has been editing disruptively at several articles virtually since he first started editing on 8 May 2011. Attempts to resolve numerous issues on his talk page have been fruitless so I started an ANI discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:Dcupdates11 editing disruptively. However, Dcupdates11 has since breached 3RR at So Random!.

First and second reverts restored factual error and a previously removed uncited claim to the article. I'm unwilling to get into an edit-war so the content is still in the article. Dcupdates11 then added more unsourced claims to the article resulting in the third and fourth reverts. After this I warned the editor.[114] The fourth revert included the use of a citation that does not in any way support the claims made so I tagged it with {{failed verification}} rather than deleting it, as I knew deletion would just prompt an edit-war. The fifth revert reverted that edit. A subsequent restoration of the tag by another editor was then reverted (sixth revert). All reversions were made over an eight hour period today. --AussieLegend (talk) 03:53, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [126]

Comments:

Two months ago, I made an edit to the following article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Battle_of_the_Falkland_Islands

The edit was a new section called 'Secret Service Trap'. This section dealt with the influence of British secret service codebreakers on the battle. This small - two paragraph edit - was properly verified and sourced. However, the facts that I presented were disputed by the editor Tirronan (the same editor who has reported me for 'Edit War' now). The editor Tirronan presents himself as an expert in naval warfare and in espionage techniques. He is one of the major contributors to the article. For the next six weeks, he argued that the edit was a "hoax". He continually threatened to report me and to ban me. He persistently reverted the edit. He tried to discredit my sources. Throughout, his intention seemed to rubbish my edit. He attacked me on my talk page and on the talk page of other editors who came to my (eg Jezhotwells (talk) )

You can see the "discussion" I had with him here in discussion page. I had to justify every sentence in my edit - the discussion extended to 7500 words!:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Battle_of_the_Falkland_Islands#Secret_Service_Section

Eventually, I became exasperated at this harassment and requested the assistance of other editors. One of them suggested a compromise: that the "Secret Service Section" of the article be arranged in the following way:

That the section comrpise one large sub-section comprising the "mainstream" opinion.

That this be followed by a smaller sub-section summarising my edit which Tirronan insisted be presented as a "minority opinion".

I agreed to this. I wrote up the section as three paragraph text (two paragraphs for the "mainstream" opinion, one paragraph for the "minority" opinion). This section contained all the citations that Tirronan wanted. It removed some copy to which he objected. It dealt with British secret service code warfare as it related to the Battle of the Falkland Islands and to the pursuit and destruction of the remaining German ships following the battle.

I prepared this new section for the review of Tirronan and other contributors last week. I did this on the discussion page of the article. Tirronan made revisions which I accepted in entirety - and then made a final comment:

Perfect.Tirronan (talk) 13:39, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Today, I posted the section as previously agreed with Tirronan.

Immediately - within a few minutes of posting - I found that the section was edited by the editor Binksternet. His edit made a stylistic change and deleted a final sentence that he argued was irrelevant. He added TWO new sections to the Discussion page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Battle_of_the_Falkland_Islands#.22Was_informed_that.22_vs_.22who_said_that.22

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Battle_of_the_Falkland_Islands#Similarly..._Dresden

I undid this change - and placed my reasons, with citations and evidence, on the discussion page.

After a while, I found that Tirronan had restored the edit. His reasons were not clear. I reminded him that the original text was the one he had approved on Friday - "Perfect!". I once again, went through this argument point by point. I got the following answer:

Yes I disagree and your edit is reverted.Tirronan (talk) 23:53, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

I told him that he was using a spoiler edit to rubbish the section and that I would revert to the original text he had already accepted. He reverted the text again which I undid. I warned him that I would use the dispute resolution procedure if he had not undone the spoiler edit. Before that could happen, I was notified that I had been referred to an Edit Warring section. Here I am. I only reverted to the text that he had already approved less than two days ago!

Tirronan has told me he is a senior editor. He has been in a number of other disputes. I found his behaviour harrassing, bullying and deceitful. I genuinely have tried to be flexible and to offer compromises. I am glad that this issue will now be reviewed by other editors since I genuinely believe that Tirronan's behaviour in this case will be admonished. Hubertgrove (talk) 02:24, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

While the claims of content dispute are amusing, they have no place in the 3RR notice board. However if an admin cares to read the Secret Service Trap section there are ample examples of

Comments:
Mostly me actually undoing his edits, and another user Kwamikagami has reverted it on the policy page itself as well, and a further different user Tony has also expressed concern on the talk page: Wikipedia_talk:Article_titles#generally where he started an entire thread on it. There genuinely seems no overall consensus for this on the talk page, So far as I've noticed, only one other user, Blueboar, has supported him, but Pmanderson (and to a rather lesser extent Blueboar) has been trying to simply edit war it through anyway. So that's three people that think it's a bad idea, and only two supporting it, but Pmanderson has evidently just gone to war to push it through, and they're no longer even responding on the talk page. They're at the point they don't care about establishing consensus for it; in fact (regrettably) Pmanderson in particular doesn't seem to have cared about consensus at any point.

He's repeatedly rewriting the policy and edit warring the policy literally to however he wants it, and is not supporting his edits well, he's been reverted by numerous people, and he's not caring about consensus.Rememberway (talk) 07:02, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

This is really, seriously not ever how it's supposed to work on policy pages!!!Rememberway (talk) 07:02, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

I just want him to start editing sensibly to be honest, and staying within consensus! He's more like 'I know the only answer I'm rewriting the policy, and I will edit war until you leave it like I wrote it.' All I've been trying to do is revert back the things that are obviously non consensus, but he just sticks them right back in again. He's made lots of other fairly dubious recent changes that I didn't even dare touch.

It may sound trivial 'generally' but in fact Pmanderson and blueboar seem to be trying to remove the policy by equivocating it out of existence, and without bothering to get consensus to do that. It went from a 'should be a noun' to 'preferred to be a noun' to 'generally preferred to be a noun' which probably doesn't mean anything at all any more. There's no way you could argue with a title not being a noun.Rememberway (talk) 07:02, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

• Quoting Rememberway: I just want him to start editing sensibly to be honest, and staying within consensus!. That should not too much to ask but is a sentiment that far too many editors have whenever they must interact with PMA. I suggest consideration be given to identifying particular types of venues on Wikipedia in which PMA simply gets himself into too much trouble and ban him from them for six months. He may be too much of a pain in WP-space such as MOSNUM and policy pages. Greg L (talk) 14:10, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
  • This is, of course, raking up irrelevant past grievances, something the instructions of this page frown upon. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 15:14, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

This is a report of six different edits, over a period of twelve days; all of them are alternatives - not always the same alternative - to an edit by the complaintant, who has always made the same one; he has therefore reverted more often than I have. No dates or times are given (this list begins and ends with edits on the same day, but they do not even resemble chronological order), nor did Rememberway bother to inform me himself. (Thanks for installing a bot.)

The "effort to resolve on the talk page" consists of

in which three or four editors tell Rememberway that his preferred text doesn't belong in the nutshell, depends on a non-consensus view of what article titles are, and is factually incorrect.

In short, this is a pretended conduct offence, invented to get a fringe view into Wikipedia. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 15:14, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi there, I apologize for what is actually occurring at these pages. The problem is my lack of knowledge of Wikipedia rules and that is something that I am responsible for. I have been trying to discuss these issues with the users in question, also posting for help on admin sites in order to get assistance with the constant edit warring that is going on. I know that action may be taken against me, and I apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused. I thought that information being added in that could not be cited was still able to be removed without violating any reverting rules that Wikipedia had, and apparently after having read them, I am in error there. Is there anyway for me to be given a second chance when it comes to this kind of thing? I have been posting on discussion boards and trying to help build consensus, but have rarely received responses when asked for them. I will stop reverting any changes and will strictly work on discussion pages for now to try and resolve the many disputes currently present on the pages.

Once again, I apologize for the inconvenience! — Preceding unsigned comment added by U21980 (talk • contribs) 17:27, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

I guess I can chalk that up to inexperience though. Either way, I appreciate the role that you are playing in this as it will help the page hopefully gain a semblance of order.

In an attempt to chronicle the events that were occuring on these pages, I posted the following message to the admin noticeboard last night:

Request for Intervention in NXIVM/Keith Raniere/Clare Bronfman/Sara Bronfman pages - Users Link1914 and Keyser Sözetigho

Hi there, I am requested help on these pages especially due to the problematic edits inserted by users Link1914 and Keyser Sözetigho. In regards to the first user, he seems to be intent on adding information on the page that violates NPOV from blogs and forum posts. On top of that, his claims of living in New York and supposedly attending meetings of the organizations listed in the page make it seem like he has a personal vendetta against the individuals and organization. Keyser on the other hand does not insert the information from blog posts or forums, but has been adding uncited information. When asked to cite the information he has added (in this case - NXIVM's twelve rules) he has not complied and has not responded to my talk post in that regard. Keyser's early edits were especially problematic since there was no attempt to even make the content neutral in any sense. Keyser also posted that he believes that I am affiliated with these organizations and individuals since most of my edits are on these particular pages, blindly ignoring the fact that every single edit of his has been on the same page but for one purpose, to make NXIVM and the individuals affiliated with it look as bad as possible. These issues are especially frustrating since it takes so much time to clean the pages up while trying to maintain these pages as close to neutral as possible. I want to note that I am in no way affiliated with these individuals or NXIVM, but have basically built the pages from the ground up after noticing that there wasn't any information listed for them in Wikipedia. I just want to do my part in creating the best, neutral page that can be created in Wikipedia, a page that is built on consensus and not negatively biased claims. These individuals do not contribute to discussion pages, try to initiate conversations on talk pages, but make these edits with a clear agenda. I just want to work together with others to build consensus, not continue the editing wars which have consumed these pages in the past few days since the two aforementioned user accounts were created. I hope that you can assist me in this manner. Thank you for your help! U21980 (talk) 07:22, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

An example of what I was trying to explain above: http://saratogaindecline.blogspot.com/2011/05/nxivm-info-wars-battle-for-hearts-and.html The claim that I am a member of this organization is not true. The problem is that the people representing anti-Raniere/Bronfman/NXIVM views are not willing to be dispassionate when it comes to their contributions. Thanks again for your assistance!U21980 (talk) 07:47, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

- I have tried posting on their talk pages and discussion boards but was ignored, except by a post from Keyser accusing me of being a part of NXIVM, a claim that Link also put forth. They have made no attempt to try to make the page neutral and have used questionable sources for most of their material. Keyser posted NXIVM's rules without citation and Link cited them to a blog as well as making citations from forum posts. Anyways, I figured that this post would help explain my side of the story.

Once again, I apologize for the inconvenience!U21980 (talk) 18:02, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

I have been watching the edit war develop and it looks like we have a very serious case of people who are hostile to NXIVM coming on and trying to edit war. This is especially the case after a blog in upperstate accused some of the editors (myself included) of being members of NXIVM. The author of that blog encouraged its anti-NXIVM readers to come over and start posting. ^[1] This whole-you-work-for-NXIVM bunk is a pretty unsubstantiated rumor on their part, but hardly surprising, given the antipathy for whatever reason some folks have against this admittedly strange program. Again, we should treat this stuff like any other old page and try to put up as much factual, not biased, and not slanted information as possible so people can understand NXIVM and Raniere. I don't have a bone to pick in this fight, but I do want the page to be nice and pretty AND ACCURATE. I recommend locking it if people can't behave.JamesChambers666 (talk) 18:32, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

comments

For a long time now John Foxe has claimed some sort of absolute authority over the content of this page, he reverts every single uncontroversial edit made to it by numerous editors, whom he does not agree with. He seems to have became the arbitrator of what is ultimately allowed into the article and what isn't, this an almost 3 year along conflict involving dozens of editors. I was attempting to some necessary and uncontroversial changes to the page and he continually reverted me with the rude edit summary "take complaints to the talk page", I then did justify my edits on the talkpage [203] and another editor made a respective compromise edit [204] and after discussion he quickly reverted it back to his own version.

He has now violated

) 19:23, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

• Admin note both editors are clearly edit warring, aside from which side of 3RR they are on. I got involved by putting up a compromise lede and requested short-term full page protection, which is probably better than a scorched-earth approach of blocking one or more editors. (I'd normally full-prot myself but I put up the compromise content instead, so I'm "involved"). Other issues (such as ownership) should be handled with
  WP:DR after sufficient talkpage discussion, which hasn't taken place. (ec- both users are discussing on the talk page, but this shouldn't be accompanied by revert-warring and user-warning templates) tedder (talk
  ) 19:34, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

I have not actually violated

WP:3RR however. I have ended editing the page in the risk of doing so. He will continue to revert me as long as he lives. My edits were not problematic, yet he is content to revert anything that goes into that page which is different to the way he has wrote it. I did mention my changes on the talkpage and he continued to revert me. I initially reverted back because I do not believe he has a justification to revert them, does a summary saying "take your complaints to the talk page" sound like a justifying revert to you? Its an immediate assertion of authority! Routerone (talk

) 19:38, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

3RR is only one form of edit warring. Again, I'd encourage taking the editor-specific issues to edit-specific steps of

WP:DR, and discuss the content on the talk page. tedder (talk

) 19:57, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

I would point out that this is the 4th time in the last month that John Foxe has violated 3RR with regards to content disputes on this page. --FyzixFighter (talk) 06:12, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

• Result: Both editors blocked 24h for edit warring. The article came off two weeks of full protection on May 12, and it appears that a long-term war is continuing. Foxe has been heavily reverting this article for a long time, and Routerone was his main opponent in the latest episode. Routerone was warring even if he didn't cross 3RR. I am reluctant to put back full protection on the article when it was tried so recently without stopping the fight. EdJohnston (talk) 04:56, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Deleting Medeis's report was faulty. I planed to use his/her report as a template and add a new one. As a new user, I am in the process of being more familiar with wikipedia policies. I will take responsibilities of having revised his/her report by fault. The user Medeis has conducted many personal attacks and made above-mentioned false accusations. I have indicated on the discussion page that I agree that it is counterproductive to argue with you indefinitely. I'd like to raise this to a third party evaluation. Mattyjacky (talk) 02:28, 26 May 2011 (UTC). From the 3rd reverting rule, both Medeis and I were involved in an editing war. I call for a complete review and a third party opinion on the debate in the talk page. His statement of carefully premeditated vandalism is a personal attack. On his imaginary false statement about the association of my ID and the IP address. This can be easily disproved by administrative board by checking the log. Thanks. Mattyjacky (talk) 04:58, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

For a "new user" (who has indeed had two single use accounts in less than two days, the second being formed immediately after the first had garnered several warnings) Mattyjacky is very familiar with the use of templates, language such as "NPOV" and "personal attacks", etc.

Regardless, Mattyjacky was warned, and understood the warning given he placed the same on my talk page [223], yet has four reverts under his registered name in less than 24 hours. μηδείς (talk) 05:15, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Please refer to the talk page and see that the lengthy debate was between the two of Medeis and me.

BTW, the link provided by Medeis above [228] seems to contain a new controversy with reliable sources from a famous university website. He/she has suggested that there was a campaign about trying to include this incident. However, I will step away from that discussion since this controversial incident has never been relevant to any of my edits. My statement here is that in the lead of the article Medeis used biased judgmental language from one side of some controversies that are listed in the controversies session. This seems to result from his/her personal taste of mitigating the derisive meaning of a racial slur. I was just trying to convince him that in describing controversies in the lead, causing controversies is a better wording than without intention, which is the precise statement of the offender (not the people being offended) in these controversies. Mattyjacky (talk) 05:18, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Please note, since MattyJacky/18.252.5.59 implies that it is untrue, that the editor is likely one and the same is shown by the highly unlikely coincidence of his same day one after the other appearance on the same page, his seamlessly continued arguments on the article's talk page, and his use of the same idiosyncratic address, "To Medeis:" "To Stradivarius:", to begin many of his comments. μηδείς (talk) 14:16, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

There seems to be something wrong with MattyJacky's diffs. In any case, this edit of mine [233] was the removal of material about a living person which had been removed from at least four deleted articles mentioned in this ANI. Also be aware that while no editor beside this user has reverted my edits, which are based on a concern for balance, among other things, the accusing editor's edits have been reverted by three separate editors [234] [235] [236] beside myself, along with the accusation that my motivation is racism. μηδείς (talk) 06:10, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Mr./Mrs Medeis often makes personal attacks exemplified as above. Please also review this talk page to check his interactions with other users.

Also, Mr./Mrs Medeis is clearly involving in a online campaign, but with an opposite opinion. As indicated by C.Fred, Mr./Mrs Medeis with his awareness should have made this page protected, instead of participating the (counter)campaign and falsely assume that anyone who has a different opinion is from the "enemy". In the talk page, he has indicated that he is Chinese and not familiar with California, this explains his ability to find the campaign link in the Chinese language. However, his racism accusation above is simply absurd and is a blatant personal attack. I don't believe he has a neutral standpoint in editing the article.

The author, Mark Marathon, persists in trying to establish that a rare tropical fruit is consumed in Australia, without using source material. I am simply requesting his evidence for such a claim, and had removed his material until he provides it. Nothing has been provided to date.--Zefr (talk) 12:39, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

1)You did not request material. Initially you stated that the categories added no value. Then you stated that the article did not mention that the species exists in Australia or that it was consumed by Aborigines. Finally you actually deleted the sections which stated that the food was consumed by Aborigines, while retaining the information that the species is native to NE Australia. You deleted that section in order to be able to delete the "Bush Food" category tag, yet you also deleted the "Flora of Queensland tag for some reason. Clearly you wanted to delete the category tags for reasons known only to yourself, and you keep inventing reasons to do so

2 The evidence has been provided. As I have noted, there are at least 3 references in the list that support those assertions.

3 It isn't my evidence you are requesting. I did not make the edits that state that the species is native to NE Australia nor that it was consumed by Aborigines. All I added was the categories, which for some reason you are hell bent on deleting.

4) If you do wish to "request evidence" on a topic, you should add ^{[citation needed]} tags. You should never delete material simply because you are ignorant of the subject.

Even the use of ^{[citation needed]} tags should be sparing. Wikipedia is meant to be readable, not intensely footnoted. The plant is edible, it is eaten throughout its native range. There is really little to be gained by your requests that we list every single group that eats it and provide references to the same.Mark Marathon (talk) 13:14, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Technically Fountainviewkid is deleting their comment, but it first deleted within a minute of placing it on the page. Self reverts are one of the main principles of WP, to say you can't have second thoughts within a minute of placing something on someone's page sounds due to the Talk page guidelines goes against that ideal. The Talk page guidelines specifically talk about not deleting things once they have been quoted and things like that. Nobody within a minute was quoting that item. It sounds like both parties are in the wrong here. Both parties continued the edit war, but Fountainviewkid should have the right to remove a post within a minute of posting it.Marauder40 (talk) 18:23, 27 May 2011 (UTC) It's my talk page.

To be honest the comment in question was "stay off my page". I was asking Bello not to comment on mine as he had asked me to do on his. I then realized this was stupid so I self-reverted. After that he reverted that revert and then we ended up with this. How do we get to DR though? I'm willing to get this over with by a fair admin. Fountainviewkid 18:55, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

• Comment - I'd be happy to go through dispute resolution, but first, I believe there is the matter of edit warring my talk page and violating 3RR on it, as well as violating 1RR on SAU.
  W
  18:59, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

3rr guidelines say "The following actions are not counted as reverts for the purposes of 3RR: Reverting your own actions ("self-reverting"). As for SAU, you've violated the 1RR. That's pretty clear. Fountainviewkid 19:02, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Then file a report buddy, get your difs together. I did NOT violate 1RR.

W

19:06, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Really Bello? Then how do you explain all those edits adding "fundamentalist" and other changes and then re-adding them? Are you seriously denying you did not violate 1 RR at SAU article? If so the facts beg to differ. Fountainviewkid 19:10, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Then POST THEM! I did NOT violate 1RR on the article. I added an additional sources.

W

19:10, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Okay. You were allowed 1 RR. Here's the first one [263]. Then you made this revert against the wording that had been agreed to [264], There was also this revert (addition) of a controversial description [265]. That was before I did my 1 RR. After I did mine you did then did [266], and [267]. Fountainviewkid 19:15, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

1st one was not within 24 hours. 2nd one was not a revert, it was new wording and there was no discussion on the wording. 3rd one was novel content, that source was brand new as was that paragraph. 4th was definitely a revert (that was my 1RR). 5th was not a revert, it was just saving a reference which you (accidentally, I assume) deleted while deleting something in the infobox during your second revert of the day. Unfortunately, that citation was used in a later paragraph, so I went and reattached it to that section.

W

19:24, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

The new wording was a revert. You changed it to make it sound more positive towards Cottrell and Gladson. As for "novel content", additions of controversial descriptions, especially while being discussed is not exactly following the policies of WP. You reverted for more than once in the 24 hour period. Your addition of "historic Adventist" as a description is also controversial [268]. This was also a revert [269]. I think that makes something like 7 RR in 24 hours. Fountainviewkid 19:28, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Controversial does not make a 1RR violation. The new wording was NOT a revert as it was novel content. The addition of "conservative" to the infobox was novel, and had never been done before. It is also supported by numerous sources in the article. The final one was consecutive with the previous revert. As you know, consecutive reverts count as one.

W

19:31, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

It was a 1 RR violation. You had previously tried to add "historic Adventist" at an earlier time. It was removed. You then just recently "reverted" by re-adding it in. Additionally you've been engaging in quite a bit of wikilawyering. Fountainviewkid 19:32, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Please provide a dif to where I previously added "historic" in parenthesis to the infobox. I certainly do NOT remember that.

1. Note: reversion nos. 1 and 2 were posted by a different editor, however the content of reversions nos. 3 and 4 posted by Erikeltic are the same as nos. 1 and 2, and therefore is a continuation of the same edit war, pushing it into a 4th reversion overall

-- Jake Fuersturm (talk) 05:08, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

• No violation You seem to be claiming that another editor's reverts count against him? That's a fairly innovative position. The last revert also contains a copyright dispute claim, which is generally given a wide berth until the claim is settled. Kuru (talk) 05:17, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

• Disagree - it's quite clear that the identical reversion has been made, and given the short time span between the first pair of reversions and the second pair of reversion it is reasonable to link them even if not posted by the same editor. It's tantamount to
  WP:3R. The two previous blocks have also established a pattern of behaviour. Furthermore, I did discuss the issue of "tag-teaming" already [294]. Respectfully, I request that you reconsider your decision, which was reached in barely five minutes. -- Jake Fuersturm (talk
  ) 05:23, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

In regards to the copyright dispute claim, it would have made more sense to go directly to an AfD on the image in question, rather than posting an additional reversion to the article itself. He only posted the {{

db-filecopyvio}} when I suggested the alternative course of action. -- Jake Fuersturm (talk

) 05:31, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry you're confused. If you're claiming they are the same editor, then please take your report to WP:SPI. If you're claiming that the two editor's edits should count as a "group 3RR" violation, then no. It's not gaming the system, it appears to be two people that disagree with one other one who is pretty close to a 3RR violation himself. Kuru (talk) 05:33, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure how my TWO reversions (i.e. restorations) is in any way close to the FOUR required to put me offside. -- Jake Fuersturm (talk) 05:42, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

23:54 is a partial revert (restoring a ref removed in the previous edit), 21:20 and 19:40 are two simple reverts and labeled as such, 19:23 removed the extra verbiage added by Mattbuck in the previous edit. That's four in about four hours. Do you understand the nature of the problem and will you avoid editing the article for the next 24 hours, or is preventative action needed? Kuru (talk) 05:50, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

1. I don't agree that 23:54 is a partial revert, because the deletion in the previous edit caused a claim that was left intact in the article to be UNSOURCED, which I believe Wikipedia tends to discourage
2. I also don't agree that 19:23 is a revert, as the edit did not seek to restore a previous reversion, but instead made a tangential change.
3. By my count, I am at TWO - if you're saying that I'm at FOUR, then NO, I don't understand the nature of the problem
4. If you are suggesting I be blocked from editing the Spock article for 24 hours, I would contend that it is unnecessary as a further reversion of the two edits in question really WOULD put me into numbers 3 and 4, respectively. Furthermore, it would be grossly unreasonable as my edits are no more tendentious that Erik's, and in fact I was the one who tried to bring the dispute to an end by initiating a talk page discussion. FURTHERMORE, Erik insisted on posting a revert a full TWO HOURS AFTER that discussion had already been initiated!! -- Jake Fuersturm (talk) 06:26, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

I'm reading this as you will refrain from further reverts. I assure you that the other two edits revert the actions of other editors. I remain concerned that your understanding of the edit warring policy is flawed, and it is likely that you will need to slow the pace of your editing to avoid a re-appearance at this notice board. You may also note that it is indeed possible to discuss issues without using bold, all-caps, and red fonts to sound important; it just makes you look fervent when you do that and does little to build credibility. Kuru (talk) 14:05, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

I assure you, I slowed the pace of my editing considerably (from ~30-40 edits/day a couple of months ago, to ~10 edits/week now (the flurry of activity over the past day has been an exception, for obvious reasons)), but you'll excuse me if I actually care enough to take a stand on something I feel strongly about. I feel no need to be "less fervent" about my editing, but since that seems to be the prevailing attitude around here, I'm not surprised at the ongoing issues Wikipedia has been experiencing with declining editorship.

Not sure how using emphasis is for making one "sound important" - but it does help to draw attention when comments can be easily lost in a rapidly expanding discussion thread -- Jake Fuersturm (talk) 14:30, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Further reversions - what would be the point? Don't forget that I'm the one who initiated discussion - Erik's the one who chose to post a reversion subsequent to that, but that seems to have been forgotten -- Jake Fuersturm (talk) 14:44, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Look at the time stamps; I posted the {{

db-filecopyvio}} before I even read your suggestion, which I found highly amusing. Erikeltic ^(Talk

) 05:34, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

The time stamps are both as of 23:23, 28 May 2011 [[295] and [296], so you definitely didn't post before me. What IS amusing is that your reversion took place 36 minutes earlier. -- Jake Fuersturm (talk) 05:41, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

So let me get this staight:

1. You think another editor's revert should count against me for a 3RR.

2. The time index is IDENTICAL, but claim I only did nominated

your file

because you suggested it to me in the first place.

3. An old block from 2009 and another 24 hour block from a couple of weeks ago is evidence of me being an "edit warrior".

4. I should not be permitted to have an opinion in Spock because I--and others--have not felt the need to change its content until after your recent edits.

Does that about sum up your issues tonight? Erikeltic ^(Talk) 05:47, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

1. That should be obvious. Yes. Because you were well aware of a potential edit war brewing, and chose to involve yourself in the same edit anyways.
2. My suggestion definitely didn't come afterwards.
3. A reasonable editor would have learned after the first violation.
4. Of course you're entitled to your opinion, but since you're so fond of quoting
   WP:BRD, then why is it that I'm the one who had to initiate "D" after your multiple reverts? AND, you still insisted on posting a revert a full TWO HOURS AFTER the discussion had already been initiated!! -- Jake Fuersturm (talk
   ) 05:58, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

I reverted twice. Are you suggesting that Mike and I are "in cahoots" or something? What about David? It would seem from where I'm sitting that consensus is against your position and you are unhappy about it due to your clear [[WP:OWN|feelings}} about the article. Filing a 3RR is not the way to go to "silence" another editor and their position. Furthermore, digging into my past edits does not

assume good faith or foster any type of collaboration now does it? I would also caution you against uncivil and unnecessary comments like those you made here. Erikeltic ^(Talk

) 05:30, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

What about David??? He hasn't posted any recent edits, why are you dragging his name into this?

Anwyays, you reverted twice, but you were well aware of the two previous reverts which were the same as the ones you made. I'm not suggesting cahoots, but rather a gross disregard for the edit history (but given that you seem to show so much deference to Mike .... we'll let the other editors decide ....).

Also, as per the guidelines clearly stated above "If you are reporting a long term edit warrior, please provide diffs of recent disruptive behavior, along with any relevant discussions and warnings." I only looked into your history because it was required of me. -- Jake Fuersturm (talk) 05:35, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

• As stated by MtKing, this is a content dispute, not subject to WP:BLP. BLP is for contentious material. This attribution issue does not rise to the level of a WP:BLP revert. Per WP:3RRNO he should've gone to the WP:BLPN noticeboard. Bello was advised not to rely on BLP in this case, and he did so anyway. Lionel (talk) 06:25, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

While this is a sound editorial change, this is an extreme stretch of WP:BLP which has the appearance of circumventing the 1RR restriction on that page. I would urge BW to revert this change and allow another editor to make it. Kuru (talk) 14:09, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

• Result: Blocked one week for violating the 1RR restriction recently imposed on this article and for long-term edit warring. The BLP exemption from 3RR is very narrowly worded and in my judgment this is not covered by that exemption. I'm imposing a one-week block since BW has just returned to editing after being blocked for nine days. The 24 May unblock was premised on an expectation of better behavior in the future, and came with a warning against further edit warring. Other admins should feel free to adjust the block length in either direction.

Please excuse my ignorance, but I'm not sure what to do here, so I am asking for advice. Here is what happened:

1. The user removed some content without giving a reason.
2. I reverted this, saying "Content removed without stating reason", and added a warning on the user's talk page.
3. The user then undid my revert, and also blanked his talk page.

• Comment I believe a consensus was reached somewhere to remove bibliographical information from comics-related pages, but I'm not sure where, and Brian Boru is awesome isn't helping anyone (including himself) with his constant reverts and the fact that he rarely (if ever) uses talk pages or edit summaries to explain what he's doing, so I think there's a real problem here. All he needs to do is briefly explain what he's doing and where the consensus was reached, but he virtually never does so. DeadpoolRP (talk) 02:03, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

• In my opinion, this is a plain 3RR violation committed by an editor who almost never participates on talk pages. I recommend a block and would do so myself, except I issued his last block three years ago. It is better if another admin looks into the matter. Brian made five identical edits to remove the bibliography section from this article beginning at 20:45 on 29 May (UTC). EdJohnston (talk) 03:54, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

• Yes, Ed is correct on all counts, so I've blocked Brian Boru is awesome. Since his most recent block was three years ago, I've blocked for only 24 hours rather than escalating. Brief note to the reporter: You listed only three reverts, but four are necessary for a 3RR violation. I was able to find four easily enough in this case, but in the future, you should be sure to include four to be sure the closing admin can follow your report.

The user has also tried to make the changes while adding new content.[341] I have twice tried to start a discussion with them rather than using templates, as Casliber had told me that it would not be helpful,[342] but the user simply removes them. I didn't edit for a day to allow for a cooling off period. The user did finally contact me after their third revert of the day but when I disagreed referring to MoS and another editor made similar changes to mine, Fatty2k10 simply sent me an edit warring/3RR warning instead of continuing with discussions as requested.

User is a habitual EW who, with a group of other editors, has for years violated WP:GAMES with several users to establish a POV slant in violation of WP:NPOV. Engaging in discussion with them goes nowhere, only their chosen citations and interpretations count as they back up each others’ conclusions. This user particularly has a habit of citing arbitrary WP:OR reasons for excluding other editors, i.e. saying “your argument is not robust / simplistic / irrelevant / WP:FRINGE, etc”. He then proceeds to question why editors don’t WP:AGF and eventually deletes new editors’ comments from even the Talk page, and today he has violated 3RR insofar as my posts are concerned. He regularly violates WP:RFC as evidenced by the following discussion threads:

• "Sub-optimal" July 2007,
• "Nootka Sound Conventions vs. Argentine POV" September 2007,
• "Phrasing and Sourcing" Jan 2009,

Note the disruptive nature of the edit concerned: it is a raft of personal attacks and is essentially an attempt to discourage editors from contributing. This is plainly not constructive. I suggest that similar attempts above be collapsed or removed.

Note also the contents of User talk:209.36.57.10 and his previous edits (from December-January), where the IP cites his intention to recruit meatpuppets and to edit war until "the earth crashes into the sun".

Comments:

Adaptogens, Peter Island, Libby Trickett, Chloe Maxwell) virtually always pushing a "critical" POV and including removal of non-controversial sourced material that may be considered to put the company in a "positive light". In the current circumstances he has been insisting on adding a disparaging statement about Network TwentyOne using a primary source UK court document in a case in which the company was not involved. I listed the issue on RS/N for discussion and the consensus was that the source was not appropriate[350]. The user rejects Noticeboard consensus [351] and simply reverts removal of the unsupported material. The user has a history of tendentious editing and refusing to engage in constructive dialogue and working towards consensus[352] including submitting bogus COI claims to try and silence opposition to his POV editing [353][354]. His very first edit on the current article was to remove an external link to a 3rd party organisation supporting company and replace it with an external link to a personal blog (believed to be his) critical of the company.[355]. All attempts by me to engage in constructive, consensus building dialogue with this user have failed. --Icerat (talk

) 14:17, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

My username can be substituted with Icerat with almost every statement above (except his edits in Amway related articles are in the thousands! The contentious issue is currently in talk, and unresolved, yet Icerat is using provocation to continually edit war and push POV, and accused my many of COI and POV, not only myselfFinanceguy222 (talk) 14:34, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

I have been repeatedly accused of COI by a small number of editors known to have an anti-multilevel marketing perspective, yes. And the accusations have been rejected not only multiple times on the COI/Noticeboard but also twice by independent admins during formal dispute resolution. Yet this user persists in that type of "attack the editor" approach rather than consensus building and utilising of noticeboards to obtain other opinions. Contrary to his claims, my *total* number of edits in the wikipedia articles space is currently 868 spread over 4 years [356]. This month alone that's been on 15 different articles, of which edits on 5 articles have been related to Amway. Interestingly I've made more edits on talk pages than in articles, in an effort to obtain consensus. In contrast Financeguy222 has made 155 article edits in just over a year, nearly 4 times his edits on article talk page [357]. Only 17 of those 155 edits have not been directly related to Amway (and pushing a critical POV) [358]--Icerat (talk) 15:12, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

There is a long-term dispute between these two guys. This is a new 3RR violation by Financeguy222. Icerat did not technically break 3RR but he made four reverts in 36 hours and he was the only one reverting back. This qualifies him for an edit-warring block. For a previous simultaneous 3RR, I issued 48 hours to both. Icerat's use of a noticeboard could make us more sympathetic to his position, but it doesn't excuse a revert war. Since I made the blocks last time around, it is best if another admin close this. Blocks of both Icerat and Financeguy222 of at least double the previous length might be considered. Repeated flouting of 3RR suggests either great determination or socking. It shows that the person has no fear of consequences. Whatever COI situation may or may not exist doesn't excuse this kind of behavior by either party. EdJohnston (talk) 15:31, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

With respect, 4 reverts over 36 hours, of material rejected on the noticeboard, and with other edits in between, and *after* being the one to submit it for noticeboard consideration following FG222 editwarring isn't quite the equivalent of Financeguy222's four reverts in 13 hours with no intervening edits. I would however very very very much like independent editor assistance on this and related articles. I'm trying to achieve consensus on talk and via noticeboards but it simply gets ignored every single time. --Icerat (talk) 15:49, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

I'm obliged to comment on this because I have witnessed a recurrent pattern of disruptive behavior in Icerat's part, and it seems to be escalating to a crescendo in the past couple of weeks. In addition to the recurrent pattern of edit warring, the user is now wikistalking me on Juice Plus and John A. Wise and POV pushing while ignoring the consensus of other editors on several Talk and noticeboard pages (eg, [359]]). This user has become a major liability to WP and is unnecessarily eating up resources. A long block (or ban) would be appropriate IMO. Rhode Island Red (talk) 18:54, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

What is unnecessarily eating up resources is users like FG222 and RIR who constantly ignore polices, including serious ones like

WP:BLP, falsely claiming consensus is reached in their favour, and resorting to personal attacks of the kind here, meaning virtually every single edit that does not fit their fringe POV needs to be submitted through noticeboards, which they then ignore and mischaracterize. It's worth noting that RIR, while happily pointing out my two technical 3RR issues (born out of exasperation), has conveniently not mentioned he recently emerged from a 6 month ban, and threatened with permanent, for precisely this kind of behaviour already on the Juice Plus article, [360], and is currently ignoring direct requests from three different admins to not edit that article [361]. --Icerat (talk

) 19:06, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Look here mudslinging edit warrior, I was blocked (not banned); it wasn't recent; it has nothing to do with your conduct problems or edit warring, and it was levied because I inadvertently outed a Juice Plus distributor who had been vandalizing the article and editing contentiously (including a non stop barrage of personal attacks against me) for years. I learned from the inadvertent error and as a result I have been careful not to out you, although like many others I am 100% convinced that you have a COI and should be blocked or banned because of it and your chronic incapability to work harmoniusly with other editors and to respect WP policy. Next time, I'll simply take it directly to the admins privately so that the COI issue and disruption can be dealt with without the risk of outting. During your next block, which appears to be inevitable, take some time to rethink your tactics and find some new articles to work on where you'll be less likely to be chronically disruptive. Sayonara. Rhode Island Red (talk) 19:19, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

• Once again, I'm in agreement with EdJohnston, pretty much exactly per his rationale above. Therefore, I've blocked both editors for four days. A note to both: You both claim consensus is on your side, but the fact that you're each carrying out a one-man edit war for your preferred version makes me suspect both your claims to consensus are inaccurate. If consensus is really with you, you shouldn't need to edit war in this manner. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 12:43, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: [397]

Comments: Fresh from a block for edit-warring just last week, SIYKB has again broken 3RR. His first revert is a revert to this version by User:Basilwiki [398]. He restored the same text ("and elements of the (mainland) Greek Army"). However, when I add something from the same source [399], it is not to his liking and he removes it [400]. His second revert is so quick that I am not even finished adding, so then he reverts again (3rd revert) [401], and then one more [402]. His reasoning goes something like this: The source is Greek, therefore it can be used to "confess" that coup in Cyprus had backing from mainland Greece, however, for the same reason it cannot be used to source Turkish intentions. One can only describe this as tendentious editing. He has reverted 4 times in 30 minutes, so a clear cut vio, and on the back of a block for the same exact kind of behavior a week ago. I believe a warning of arbitration enforcement is in order in order in addition to a block.

Blocked for 31 hours. I'm not sure that this qualifies for 3RR, since I believe that it requires the same thing to be reverted four times; however, this is an obvious case of edit warring, and we're definitely allowed to block for edit warring when 3RR isn't technically violated.

1RR sanctions on abortion-related topics

• 1st revert: [404] 12:28, May 31, 2011. Changing "pointing out that" to "saying".

Comments:

This article, like all abortion-topic articles, is subject to 1RR editing restrictions. Thus, the infraction was incurred so quickly that there was no time to warn the user beforehand or solve the problem by way of talk page discussion. NYyankees51 is well aware of the 1RR status of the article as it was marked as being under such sanctions a few months ago. NYyankees51 makes many edits to abortion-related articles and was reminded of the 1RR sanctions last month on April 28 and on April 19. Binksternet (talk) 13:59, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Blocked for 72 hours. Nyttend (talk) 16:08, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Shouldn't Binksternet be blocked as well for making multiple reverts? This is a clear content dispute and Binksternet has also violated the 1RR. Arzel (talk) 18:43, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Nope, definitely no recent 1-revert-per-24-hour-period violation. However, if you want to provide diffs showing a longer-term pattern of edit warring on this article, that could be sustainable. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 19:01, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Looking at the history,[407] it's clear that both editors are engaged in a slow-motion edit war on this article. The only difference is that Yankee happened to slip and make 2 reverts within 24 hours. There's also some subtle POV-pushing on the latest item, with Binker insisting on the wording "pointed out" instead of "saying", thus trying to give some editorial weight to a reference. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 19:33, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

That's not subtle POV pushing, that is an acknowledgment of the authority of the top scholar in the field, Ann D. Gordon, who is not challenged by any other scholar but only by political activists who themselves are the POV pushers. Gordon's scholarship represents the unassailable ivory tower position. Binksternet (talk) 20:35, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

"Unasailable ivory tower position." In other words, editorializing and POV-pushing. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 22:20, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

I don't see any reverts (or deleted reverts) after that warning; it's entirely possible he had no idea the policy was there. Can we hold on this until he reverts again? Kuru (talk) 01:16, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Yes. I suspect that the deletion of ISO 9001 QMS may have solved the problem, but we'll see. Thanks, anyway. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 01:45, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: Has been blocked twice already for 3RR in last few days, no further warnings necessary

Comments: Fresh from a 3RR block on May 31st (the report is still visible on this page above), this user is now edit-warring by over his posting of an edit-warring template on another user's talkpage. He is also reverting across multiple articles [422] [423] [424] [425] [426] [427] (this is a revert to this [428] version). All this pretty much the moment his previous block expired. This is getting out of control and needs to stop. Seems like the previous block had no effect. At this point I also think a formal warning of

• Blocked – for a period of 1 week Editors are generally allowed to remove warnings from their talk page; really not sure what the warning was even for - the edit warring from a few days ago? Odd. Will look at the AE options, but I usually don't mess with that. Kuru (talk) 01:04, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
