Repeated addition of uncited material.

The UK Daimler car company used engines to a design by Charles Yale Knight. Eddaido has added an image, and a contentious caption. The image is generally dull and unimportant, but a reasonable addition. The caption "Logo required by Knight on cars with his engine" however is problematic:

  • This is
    WP:OR
    It's a hundred year old car with a mascot. Apart from coincidence, how do we know that knight-shaped mascot was added by the factory, not a past owner?
  • It's uncited that this was Knight's mascot.
  • Most importantly it's uncited that Knight required this mascot, rather than merely one owner choosing it of their own choice. There are many sources and illustrations showing Daimlers (which used the Knight engine for a long period) with other mascots, including Daimler's own promotional material. The US cars that used the Knight engine don't seem to have used any similar mascot.
  • They're also generally termed "mascots", not "logos", although this is unimportant. Radiator mascots would be a clearly notable topic - they're quite collectable as antique art objects.

Past involvement with this editor on car-related topics has not been promising: See

WP:OR against clear sourcing. Similarly
at WP, to push an incorrect OR POV, against any other sourced evidence.

One comment here User_talk:Andy_Dingley#Knight_mascot, but I can't claim to understand what they mean by "Yes, you are correct." followed by immediate re-addition of the problematic caption. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:09, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

TopGun was put under a 1R restriction for any articles which he and I edit here.[7] I informed him he had broked this restriction and asked him to be more careful in future.[8] As you ca nsee from the edit summary he says there are no restrictions on him. Please note, I do not want him blocked. I wish clarification on the matter. Is he or is he not on a 1R on article we both edit. If so please ensure he is fully aware of it.

This is exactly aimed to get me blocked. I was only told not to game DS in to an editwar (which I did not intend to before as well). And these reverts are not even against Darkness Shines. One is against an IP that copy pasted content and another against a different user. I'm not under any 1RR restriction as such.

[ec] Kumioko, you've presented evidence of three articles where Markvs reverted you--hardly evidence of his refusing "any" of your edits. I've undone the three since these articles, in my opinion, do not fall under the scope of those projects and their application does not further the project: a half dozen projects for those articles only obfuscates the relevant projects. As for both parties edit-warring: I note that Markvs disengaged from the back-and-forth. If Kumioko reverts again on these three, or indeed reverts any other one of those edits, I propose they be temporarily blocked and the bot shut down indefinitely, until the community a. decides on the proper scope of those projects and b. there are some hard numbers on what it does and what its error rate is. Drmies (talk) 17:47, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
I'm not going to dwell on it but I wanted to leave a quick message that I think that my block and the failure to leave Markvs88 so much as a warning for his actions represents a serious delinquency of the enforcement of Wikipedia policies. I also think that the conduct displayed by Sarek and several other administrators are prime examples of the serious degradation of the morale compass of the admin corps and enforcement of Wikipedia policy. If we would have both been blocked I would have been fine with it and simply taken it on the chin. Since I was the only one that got blocked, it shows me that Markvs88's conduct is not only tolerated and accepted...it is condoned. --

EDIT warring by User:Imperator Sascha (Result: Malformed)

Hereby I report that User:Imperator Sascha reverts my additions to the Talk:List_of_fictional_Jews-page. He does so in an attempt to hide accusations of inserting false informations into the article and using false sources. He erroneously requests "oversight" of my entries for undeclared reasons. Hereby I declare that I have also submitted an investigation of "Imperator Sascha" for meat puppetry because that account is in fact a meat puppet of User:Anonymiss_Madchen.

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: [28]

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: Current discussion here. User began discussion after trying to remove the content several times and being reverted, and his proposal to remove it has been pretty clearly shot down, but he continues to remove it. An earlier RFC, after this very same user tried to remove the same content in December, also demonstrated a consensus to preserve the material.

Comments:
User recently had a

week-long block for edit warring on the same subject (viz. Rick Santorum's feelings about gay people - report here), was also recently reported again for the same article leading to page protection, and is topic-banned for his edit-warring and other misbehavior in the topic area of abortion. A topic ban may be appropriate here as well based on the user's clear and repeated failure to behave within the bounds of WP policy when this politician is concerned, but as I'm not sure that's within ANEW's power let's just see what we can do here. –Roscelese (talkcontribs

This editor ia also engaged in a similar low grade edit war on another LGBT-related article, Freedom to Marry.

  • Massive POV changes under the guise of correcting POV and clean-up on Jan. 27:
  • 1st revert: [[29]] on Feb. 12.
  • 2nd revert: [[30]] on Feb 13.
  • 3rd revert: [[31]] on Feb 14.
  • Second round of massive POV changes on Feb. 16.

These changes were reverted by four different editors, including myself. This editor has a long and undisguised history of aggressive and disruptive POV editing on articles related to conservative politics and related social issues, and recently received a topic ban for abortion-related topics and a recent one-week block for edit-warring on Rick Santorum's position on LGBT-related issues, his fourth block for edit-warring in the past year. He routinely ignores consensus and policy. Request, if possible, that the editor's topic ban be extended to all topics related to conservative politics and social issues including all LGTB-related articles. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 05:01, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Except in this case he has consensus on the talkpage [32]. A discussion he himself started. We cannot block an editor editing in good faith with consensus to back them. Block is not indicated, much less topic ban. – Lionel (talk) 05:12, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
The fact that multiple editors are reverting this particular change shows pretty clearly that the edit is not supported by consensus. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 07:18, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
This is not 3RR. NYY did not cross the bright line. He did not game the system by making a 4th revert just outside of 24 hrs. Any block in the case of "generic edit warring" must be based on incontrovertible evidence. And this case is not clear cut. Ros' report covers 9 days! A lot has happened in those 9 days. And currently there appears to be a new consensus. If NYY broke 3RR and there was no discussion, then yes, a block is indicated. But to take an 9 day span with good faith efforts on the talk page... I'm sorry. That's not enough to block. – Lionel (talk) 07:51, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
Then it's a good thing that ANEW isn't just for 3RR violations, isn't it? Two months ago, NYY tries to remove the material and is reverted. The subsequent RFC determines that he does not have consensus to remove the material. Undeterred, he continues to try to remove the material. The current discussion likewise does not demonstrate a consensus to remove the material - rather, the opposite. Undeterred, he continues to try to remove the material. The fact of having begun a discussion is not a magical shield that protects a user from all sanction for edit-warring - a necessary component of the discussion is hewing to the consensus it produces, which here, again, is to keep the material. –Roscelese (talkcontribs) 08:02, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
My reading of the discussion is that consensus favored NYY's edit. If you are saying that I misinterpreted the discussion, then it is reasonable to assume NYY did likewise. Since this is not a 3RR violation, and since we all agree that there could be a misunderstanding, a block would not be proper.– Lionel (talk) 09:02, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
There's ample evidence of gaming the system in the second report, where he makes one reversion a day. Also, the editor is clearly aware what he is doing as, at one point, he reverts himself "to avoid edit-warring". [[33]]. His long history of blocks for edit-warring demonstrate that he should be now familiar with the policies involved. Unfortunately, he has chosen to use that knowledge to cheat the system, rather than to improve his behavior. It should be pointed out that the time span in the second report is because he was blocked for a week for edit-warring on another article. Furthermore, the editor has never discussed his changes on the Freedom to Marry talk page, even though he repeated demanded that the editors reverting him should justify their reverts on the talk page, going so far as to issue "warnings" on the user talk pages of two of the editors involved. The editor clearly exhibits a pattern of disruptive low grade edit-warring that cannot be defended by appeal to the 3rr rule. Sorry, but I'm having a hard time seeing any good faith here. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 08:15, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
Important Note: the above "report" re: Freedom to Marry is two days old. Blocking is preventative: it is not punitive. A block cannot be based on this report because it is stale. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lionelt (talkcontribs)

No, it's not stale. The report was filed an hour and a half after the editor made his last round of edits only seven hours ago. The block requested is to prevent the editor from continuing his edit-warring, as he has every intention to do. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 09:15, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

As for Rick Santorum, if you believe there is no consensus, then why are you repeatedly attempting to implement your own proposed version rather than reaching a consensus version on the talk page and implementing that one? How is admitting that you were edit warring supposed to get you off this report? –Roscelese (talkcontribs
) 17:02, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
You're twisting his words. He never "admitted" he was edit warring. And your behavior is a violation of policy. He said that "the article is constantly changing." What that means is that one minute the content justifies a certain section title, the next minute it doesn't. At a certain point there is consensus that supports his change, then the consensus changes. His editing has been completely consistent with the ebb and flow, the dynamic change which accompanies an article undergoing extreme RECENTISM. – Lionel (talk) 22:06, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
Is there a good reason why there's so much chatter here from unrelated parties? Other than the parties involved, and admins looking into it, this is not a board that requires other parties to comment (

Somehow you missed yourself in the Bwilkins assessment, Lionelt. However, Bwilkins was out of order in attempting to shut down discussion. There is no limitation of this noticeboard to admins, edit warring reporters and accused parties; there is no rule against outside observer comments. Binksternet (talk) 18:35, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Update

The editing mode that motivated this report has a new incarnation: [36] (today at 17:59); exactly the same edit was performed on multiple occasions over the last month, e.g. [37], [38], [39] (and there are others). All reverted by a number of different editors -- but instead of gaining consensus for it on the talk page he simply repeats it in edit-war mode, albeit slow motion. It's pretty obvious that without a sanction this behavior will continue. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 18:10, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

The wiki needs to be protected from such slow motion edit warring. Binksternet (talk) 18:29, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
The page was protected because of those specific sections, during which no one besides me made an effort to resolve the dispute. As such, I removed it again. I don't understand why Nomoskedasticity is targeting me as I am the only one who has properly followed policy, namely

Fist sorry if I did not used the recommended formatting with the links, I am new at HTML. I am reporting the user that has done more than 4 reverts on the mentioned article. Also on other articles that appear on his history page. The user removes information from other editors (most often properly sourced) and accuses them on vandalism. Also the the reported user is using his/her edit summaries to call the lack of knowledge of other editors in what seems like personal attacks. The user removed the warnings from his/her talk page once. I restored them and he posted asking for help.206.248.123.79 (talk) 15:08, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: extensive discussion at [[73] (esp. items 8-11), too complex for diff.

Comments:

[note: the reverts and edits to my original edits are by different individuals that appear to be acting in concert to maintain defamatory material (sourced,inadequately sourced or unsourced) on the BLP.)

Don't know how or where to handle this, but since the editors warring with me have threatened to accuse me of an edit war on my user page I thought this a good place to start. The difficult part is that there are many editors acting in concert to prevent me from making edits to prevent defamation in the BLP. Believe (but cannot prove) some of these are members of group that created/hijacked page, and now act as single individual to prevent anyone from setting the record straight.

Whether this constitutes an 'edit-war' proper I cannot say. But they have now threatened me with an 'edit war' charge if I persist in trying to remove the defamatory material. It puts me in a peculiar position with respect to continuing to try to prevent a malicious attack on a living person, and to avoid being falsely beset by Wiki policy and technical sourcing arguments, charges of "vandalism" and such that would try to intimidate into backing off. There's been plenty of discussion on the talk pages (esp. items 8-11) and on the BLP noticeboard (discussion seems to have been deleted). Mediation does not seem to be an option in this case. I am relatively new to all this, so forgive me if I overstepped some unknown line on this board. Perhaps one of you can sort things out and advise? Thank you.

<Editor has been following my edits and making small changes for a couple of weeks, basically harmless. But on William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey he reverted an entire pedigree table, then after I put it back edited about half of it out. On the Sprota page, created yesterday, he's edit warring over her descendants, whether pedigree charts show she's a progenitrix of notable descendants, etc. I seem to have another editor sticking up for me but that only complicates the issue slightly. I've tried discussing the changes on both talk pages but it seems he wants to argue each point. I'd much rather be improving pages elsewhere than getting into this with Agricolae but he's seemingly bent deleting text, sources, pedigree tables, etc. Sorry if anything is out of place above, my first time here. Thanks for looking into this>

Please note that of the four supposed reverts listed, one of them (number 3) was not a revert at all but an addition of other material to my own previous edit. No, I have not been "following" this editor - this new editor has started editing in an area I have long followed. And yes, I do want to discuss each point on the Talk page (the SYNTH, the POV, the UNDUE, the IINFO that I am 'bent on deleting') - that is the whole idea of taking a dispute to a Talk page, to Talk about it. I don't doubt that this editor would rather just have their own way instead of discussing it until a consensus/compromise is reached. Wouldn't we all? I have been Talking about it, and I haven't reverted more than 3 times on either page. This editor is just trying to use procedural grounds to bypass discussion of two distinct legitimate content disputes. Agricolae (talk) 00:13, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm writing about an article that is currently up for AfD. There's been an edit war concerning several anonymous IPs that have been insisting upon the band's notability and have been adding sources that are considered to not show notability for the band and some of which are not about the band at all. Other things that have been reverted are OR claims about the band's notability. The discussion on the AfD page is starting to get a little nasty, so I'm reporting that to the admin board as well.

The issue here is that on the AfD page we've listed reasons as to why the various sources in the article cannot be used and what would be considered a reliable source showing notability. I've left a comment on the article's talk page warning about reverting the article too many times and when I came back on Wikipedia today I discovered that there's been multiple revisions where other editors have had to undo the bits done by the random IP addresses, which is why I'm bringing it here. At best I'd like to have the article protected in some format to avoid the revert warring. There have been no comments on the talk page as far as the revert war warning goes, although there's been some mention of it on the AfD page.

I'm not sure if any or all of the IPs are from the same person or are several people who know each other. What I can see is that the IPs all seem to be doing the same thing, so part of me wonders if they're campaigning elsewhere or if they're part of the same group. In any case, the reverting is all done by IPs.

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

Reverts of my added content have been made by all of above users without any attempt to talk on the talk page.

Comments:

Censorship by promoters of AGW

On Saturday February 18th, I added a new, perfectly legitimate section to this page together with reputable references (one from the FOIA Climategate site and the other from the IPCC itself). This is in order to bring balance to this page, which, like many others on the Internet is censored to only show the AGW side of the picture. I did not delete or modify any of the existing text.

However, within minutes my change got reverted. Then I reverted the undo, and it got undone again. It is true that I reverted more than 3 times in a 24 hour period, but that was because I am new to Wiki editing and unaware of the 3-revert rule. So I got legitimately warned by another editor.

Then this morning, I undid the deletion of what I added on Saturday. It got reverted. I undid again. I aimed to stick within the 3-revert rule per 24h. Yet another editor reported me (despite myself not breaking the 3 revert rule today).

Obviously the intent here is to censor any alternate view to the page.

Unless I am advised otherwise, I intend to continue adding my section to the page, but if reverted, I will make sure I will not undo the deletion of my content by other editors determined to censor, more than 3 times in a 24 hour period.


Consensus is obviously hard to achieve on a subject where one side is determined to present their view as the absolute truth. I have, nonetheless, added a section to the Article's Talk page for any suggestions of an appropriate compromise.

Below is the addition I posted only. I am open to moving this content to another part of the page, but I am not ok with censoring what the Climategate emails reveal, simply because the pro-AGW lobby intends to paint only one side of the debate.

Climategate Revealations

However, the climategate emails show clearly that the IPCC has not been honest about the claim that 97% of climate scientists have proven anthropogenic global warming. In fact these emails show that climate scientists were incensed at the IPCC portraying their work as proof and suppressing the many caveats that they had documented: [1]

"Few investigators doubt that the world has warmed recently. Nor that the enhanced "greenhouse effect" of pollution from gases such as carbon dioxide, will warm the planet. But in the past five years, climate researchers have growing increasingly aware of how little they really know about the natural variability from which they must pick out the "signal" of human influence.

Many researchers most intimately involved in the search are still far from sure how the probabilities balance. And some of the sharpest concerns are coming from the places where the original early warnings of global warming emerged in the mid-1980s. Places such as Briffa's base at the Climatic Research Unit in Norwich, and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in California.

Nonetheless, the findings should serve as a warning, Barnett says, that "the current models cannot be used in rigorous tests for anthropogenic signals in the real world". If they are they "might lead us to believe that an anthropogenic signal had been found when, in fact, that may not be the case."

Barnett knows how easily this can happen. He was a lead author for a critical chapter in the last IPCC scientific assessment, which investigated "the detection of climate change and attribution of causes". It formulated the IPCC case that the evidence points towards a human influence on climate, but it warned repeatedly that great uncertainties remained. "We wrote a long list of caveats in that chapter," says Barnett. "We got a lot of static from within IPCC, from people who wanted to water down and delete some of those caveats. We had to work very hard to keep them all in." Even so, when the findings were first leaked to the New York Times, it was under the headline "Scientists finally confirm human role in global warming.

The statement from the IPCC that 97% of climatologists have proven anthropogenic global warming is, therefore, clearly untrue.

In addition, a read of the IPCC Third Assessment report clearly shows that many of the predictions in the early 2000s, simply have not come true. An example is the prediction on the predominance of ice storms replacing snow: [2]

"Milder winter temperatures will decrease heavy snowstorms but could cause an increase in freezing rain if average daily temperatures fluctuate about the freezing point. It is difficult to predict where ice storms will occur and identify vulnerable populations. The ice storm of January 1998 (see Section 15.3.2.6) left 45 people dead and nearly 5 million people without heat or electricity in Ontario, Quebec, and New York (CDC, 1998; Francis and Hengeveld, 1998; Kerry et al., 1999). The storm had a huge impact on medical services and human health. Doctors' offices were forced to close, and a large number of surgeries were cancelled (Blair, 1998; Hamilton, 1998). One urban emergency department reported 327 injuries resulting from falls in a group of 257 patients (Smith et al., 1998b)."

Thank you, Benutzer

Comments: 3 full reverts and 2 partial reverts in 24 hours and 10 minutes. The user participates in the talkpage but is highly incivil [224] [225] [226] [227] [228] (putting words in my mouth that I never said) [229] [230] and mostly uses the talkpage to try and get under his opponents' skin rather than attempting in good faith to resolve the dispute. I warned him about both his incivility and edit-warring, to no effect. I have the distinct impression that this user will not stop reverting (I knew this was bad when I saw "Racist edits???" appear on Talk:Thessaloniki). In addition to a block, I believe a warning of ARBMAC sanctions is in high order.

talk

Each edit that I performed was different as I was trying to find a compromise with users and was in no way a "revert" as defined by Wikipedia. I have reason to suspect that the User:Athenean was participating in racially-hate motivated edits as I explained here in the Talk:Thessaloniki page here: [231]. I also tried to reach an agreement with this user in the talk page as seen here [232] but the user did not respond and was not constructive at all and instead was keep changing the subject, being provocative, and also what I view was being a troll. Bakersdozen77 (talk) 04:08, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
user: Athenean also made a threatening statement against me here [233] where he says: "Do you really think you can brusquely edit a page mostly watched by Greek editors..." which I found was racist because he implied that non-Greek users were not allowed to edit Greece-related articles. The user was also racially intimidating me for using the word "Macedonian" as you can see here is what he said: "So what if some Byzantine authors referred to the region around Thessaloniki as "Macedonian Sklavinia"? Why is that important? Because it contains the word "Macedonian"? [234] Bakersdozen77 (talk) 04:14, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Although I've tried to calm things down by presenting additional material, well cited and quoted, Bakersdozen77, continued nearly trolling comments in order to promote his pov. A typical example of battleground mentality: he reverts a version although it it supported by a newly brought reference (obviously a blind rv) [[235]], when the sourced pat is restored he performs some minor rewording with a partial rv, again contrary to the reference [[236]]. I though that things have somewhat settled, but all of the sudden, his comments at the talkpage are far from considered civilized [[237]].Alexikoua (talk) 07:32, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

It is now clear that Alexikoua is a sock puppet of Athenean. Bakersdozen77 (talk) 17:33, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

This is quite lengthy and complex. The disruptive behaviour by User:Kitchen Knife started at Merseyside, with a dispute with User:Owain over whether the article infobox should show a flag claimed to be of the former county of Merseyside - history here and discussion here. Kitchen Knife was warned here. The focus of the pointy edits then moved on to Flag Institute, which KK seems to see as some sort of front organisation for the Association of British Counties - see long list of edit warring diffs above, covering several closely related points. (Incidentally, it's no secret that User:Owain is a supporter of the ABC, but so far as I can see has behaved with notable restraint on this matter, even when I (wrongly) templated him early in this saga.) The focus for the edit warring has now moved on again to Historic counties of England - I warned Kitchen Knife here and he reciprocated here. There have been copious other points raised in discussions with Kitchen Knife at User talk:Owain, User talk:Ghmyrtle, at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject England (on a separate but related matter to do with the status of "historic counties") and no doubt elsewhere.

I suggest a temporary but quite substantial block for this editor, with a close eye being kept thereafter on his edits in this topic area. Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:23, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

  • I was pulled into this from
    WP:FT/N, when I referred it on; I have not edited any of these articles. That said, there is enough sinning on Flag Institute for half a dozen blocks. User:Oswain in particular has methodically reverted every attempt by KitchenKnife to remove a statement to the effect that the Institute enjoys some sort of official status when the references he provides to that end do not support the statement. KK's alternative edit fails NPOV in the opposite direction, but it would in inaccurate to say that he is the only offender in this incident. Mangoe (talk

They are a long time edit warrior, but I have resolved an issue with them before. It seems that they are determined to keep the member positions and timeline ordering as it "originally" was.

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: user reported for edit warring on very same article here [286]. Additionally his talk page is littered with EW warnings from various editors.

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

Comments:

Editor is very active at the article edit warring against multiple editors and ignoring consensus. Many more reverts can be seen in the article history--although the editor is careful to watch the 24 hour limit (WP:GAME). His behavior on the talk page is not much better... He is posting this text over and over (7 posts last count) demanding editors to respond:

Editors at the article are exascerbated and he is wearing them down. Here an editor expresses his frustration::

I am an uninvolved editor. Thanks, – Lionel (talk) 07:25, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

One good reason would be that it would be wrong, on procedural due process and substantive due process grounds. Make that two good reasons. Lionelt has reported 5 "reverts," none of which hold up to scrutiny. First revert is actually changing a paraphrase of the source into a direct quote of the source, while eliminating references to primary sources (eg, I Corinthians) bolstering POV arguments of the editor, not relying on secondary sources. 2nd & 3rd "reverts" are actually an accommedation to the removal of the citation of the primary source by moving the table displaying the primary sources including the Corinthians source in context in parallel columns [originally produced by me four years ago] higher in the article to allow readers to decide for themselves what the primary source said]. "revert" 4 eliminate a redundancy in another New testament reference covered by the table as well as an unsourced claim and is not a reversion. "revert" 5 is simply not a reversion, is an attempt to flesh out a paraphrase of a source, from the source, a point which I actually don't agree and it's not my point of view, nor I think the point of view of that person making the complaint.

In addition, the complainant is required to document his attempt to work it out on the talkpage which he has not done. You've tried to resolve this edit war on the article talk page, haven't you? So put a link to the discussion here. If all you've done is reverted-without-talk, you may find yourself facing a block too --> Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [diff]

My repeated attempts to get other editors to discuss content, talkpages have the perverse result of being used against me. I used the term, editors, when there's really only one other editor, Esoglou, who is currently under sanction, and who used to be sanctioned under the handle LimA. Lionelt's involvememnt stems from a cry for allies at the Christiannity noticeboard: Foor these reasonns thiis action should be dismissed with prejudice.Eschoir (talk) 15:06, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

  • Support Bwilkins' proposal for an indef block of Eschoir. I've noticed the attitude expressed by him at
    WP:V but of WP:Competence is required. Note the bizarre sequence of arguments which he offers in that thread. When others tried to reason with him and pointed out problems, he literally repeated the same sentence ('Eucharist, at least in part..') in three separate responses. It sounds like he feels justified in his own mind so it's unnecessary for him to listen to others' opinions. EdJohnston (talk
    ) 17:57, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

So do you think it proper to go to a special interest noticeboard and call for establishment of a "9-1-1 call system or a Mayday button (perhaps built into the WikiProject Christianity banner) as Lionel suggested so editors can be called for help" ginning up a lynch mob? And do you think it proper that Lionelt responded to this latter day Henry II's complaint "Will nobody rid me of this troublesome priest?" within 18 hours with a oomplaint - while claiming to be a disinterested editor? Is that WP:PROPER now? CHEERS! Eschoir (talk) 21:45, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: [293]


The user inserted text copied word for word from several sources [294] [295] [296] without attribution - not just a copyvio but straight up plagiarism. I tagged the sentences with 'citation needed' because they seemed strange and out of place. S/he put the sources in, I checked them and it was obvious that these were copied verbatim, hence copyright violations. I think my edit summaries were abundantly clear, as was my comment on the user's page. But Silar has continued to edit war and reinsert the copyvios into the article, calling the edit warring "button sport". Note that removing copyright violations is exempt from 3RR, especially when the copyvios are this blatant. I also notified User:Moonriddengirl about this [297].VolunteerMarek 11:00, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Add: The user has now shown up at an article I wrote recently but not have had time to finish and is adding "retaliatory" tags [298] which don't make sense, with edit summaries which are false and appear to be designed to be mocking [299] [300]. He also filed "a counter report" below. So now we have plagiarism + copyvio + harassment + stalking + battleground.VolunteerMarek 11:12, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

More stalking and reverting of my edits [301], [302] [303] on other articles, which Silar has never edited. Note also he changed the appearance of his sig to look like mine [304]. Trolling on my user page [305], [306]. Maybe this is more of a matter for AN/I.VolunteerMarek 11:26, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

I just realized that this is a user who previously edited as anon IP [307] but got blocked for pretty much the same thing he is doing now. Note the users history [308] and all the "edit summary removed" - guess why that had to be done? He then went to Commons, started the same kind of trouble and got blocked there too [309]. I think there was also another IP address (same geo location) which he used which also got blocked for more of the same but I can't find it now.

You fail at understanding the rule as I was the one who originally made the work asked on talk page by another editor in reducing the size of the lead. Then I reverted two unexplained reverts made by you and one other editor. You, on contrary seems to WP:WIKIHOUNDING me.--FavorLaw (talk) 14:05, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

the talk page was not finished. You did not get any feedback about your ideas form other users. You went strait to pov pushing the lead. Sopher99 (talk) 14:07, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
This is just plain wrong. I left out details that belonged in the page itself and kept all main points. The lead is twice the size it should be so of course some information is going to be moved. What you are doing is following me via my edit lists. You tried to abusevely move, merge, and speedy delete a page where I was editing and it is not the first time you are revertings my edits without any good reasons --FavorLaw (talk) 14:10, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
The speedy deletion of that page was because that page was unnecessary, and has nothing to do with the conflict here now. The lead will be reduced, but not through POV pushed slashes. Sopher99 (talk) 14:12, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
The speedy deletion was completely unwarranted and it failed under the most elementary logic. It has to do with the current conflict here, as you seem motivated to personnally undo edits that I make. --FavorLaw (talk) 14:14, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
The page was never deleted, and we had an intense talk on the talk page. Regardless, that instance has nothing to do with the one now. It just so happens that most of the edits you make is POV pushing. Additionally you are as a sockaccount of User:ChronicalUsual, and thus do not deserve to make edits. Ill be out for the next hour, so don't expect replies until then. Sopher99 (talk) 14:16, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
You are the one to POV pushing and openly supporting the opposition side, which is not bad in itself if you were not showing it so much. And how convenient that you accuse me of being a socjaccount when I made the accusation of you being a sockaccount before. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Anti-Alawite_Sentiment_in_the_2011-2012_Syrian_Uprising#Lord_Roem_and_Sopher_99_the_same_editor.3F .

This user has posted questioably formatted information on the Idiot Flesh page, and is overly possessive of said article. I have tried communicating with this individual, but the only way (s)he has communicated back is by making condescending remarks in the edit summaries, deeming other people's edits as "unnecessary" and claiming that other users "don't actually know anything about" the band of the article, without basis for such statements. The person's edits have been reverted by five different users, including myself and a bot. This needs urgent attention before it escalates further.

For some weird reason editor MadGeographer does not like the idea of Switzerland being said to be situated in both "central" and "western Europe", even though the very other article (Geography of Switzerland) that he had me check says that very thing about Switzerland.

Regardless though, he is in CLEAR violation of 3RR now, and refuses to go to Talk, like I asked him to more than once.

That fact can be seen in this edit history page here. It says in the "

does not like
" is not a valid WP reason to blatantly undo an edit that is 1) accurate 2) sourced 3) supported by other WP articles and 4) good-faith. NO BUSINESS UNDOING THAT, simply because of his own personal tastes or whims.

Both are applicable the other article says, so there's nothing wrong (but just more clear) to state both. There's no valid WP reason to rudely revert just because an editor does not personally "like" it.

But even if that's the case, MG is in violation as he broke 3RR BIG TIME here. And he never went to Talk like I asked him to more than once. He never discussed it out in this discussion page. MG is in clear violation on a number of levels. Breaking 3RR, and refusing to discuss, and undoing valid accurate edits or modifications or elaboration, simply because he personally does not like it. But again, the other article says there's no real one better than the other. And that BOTH are applicable. So there's nothing wrong in stating both. It's accurate to do so, and even more clear. So you're wrong in saying that it should be ONLY one or the other. Because it's a fact that it's both. But regardless, MadGeographer is in clear violation, and now he's reported.

To my dismay, it appears the editor has resumed edit-warring: [314] -Kudzu1 (talk) 02:20, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
The users above are engaged in edit-warring, characterized by massive removal of sourced content on spurious grounds. The user Zenithfel reverted my edits, such as here, based on his own personal opinions about who did what in Libya. They seem to be motivated by a political agenda, as the user Kudzu1 came on to my talk page and without any sign of good faith accused me of being engaged in an "effort to slant the page toward the perspective of the late Libyan dictator Muammar al-Gaddafi and his followers." Zenithfel and Kudzu1 in a possible sign of tag-teaming seem to be coordinating their efforts to counter my edits on the article.
I am simply warning the other users of an ongoing edit war, perpetrated by the obvious skewing of the article. Zenithfel (talk) 03:05, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Yes i reverted your edits on different subjects. But you never assigned the name International propaganda, and there is no conflict about me changing it to international media. The lead I reworded. No edit conflict. Ect

Just because I edit the page does not mean i am engaging in an edit conflict. If I persistently revert your edits 4 or more time I am engaging in an edit conflict.

This is the second time I have reported him for 3rv rule in the past 72 hours. Sopher99 (talk) 15:50, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

There was already a talk established on the talk page, and still he continued edit warring. Sopher99 (talk) 15:51, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

1) The first time you reported me, the admin proved you by a+b that there were no violation. Same here. You are the one reverting my work and you alone on the talk page does not equal consensus.--FavorLaw (talk) 15:52, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

You wait until the talk finishes. There were 6 other users beside you on the talk section. Also the admin declined violation because you reverted it 3 times, But this time you edited it 4 times within the past 15 minutes. Sopher99 (talk) 15:54, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

I reverted 3 times your 3 previous reverts. If anything you are the one breaking the rule. I made a sourced addition of a very important event and you start reverting it.--FavorLaw (talk) 15:57, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
I did not break the rule, 4 times in 24 hours in the rule, and you broke that. Additionally there is already a talk page, and so you are violating consensus rules as well. Sopher99 (talk) 15:59, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
You are edit warring just as much as FavorLaw is – as 3-rr is not an entitlement. Is there any reason why I should not block you both? FavorLaw, would you be willing to self-revert and to start one of Wikipedia's
dispute resolution methods? Salvio Let's talk about it!
16:00, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
There is a reason why I should not be blocked. A talk section on the talk page for the exact area he was editing was alreayd in progress between me and him and I did not revert his edits more than 3 timesSopher99 (talk) 16:04, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
The talk on the talk page was open for 4 days already, and still he chose to ignore the ongoing talk and strait out edit the polemical section of the page at hand Sopher99 (talk) 16:06, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
The point is that it takes two to edit war. I realise that you are discussing the issue with FavorLaw on the talk page and have not breached 3-rr, but you are both edit warring. Now, I'd really prefer not to have to block either of you, that's why I'm asking FavorLaw to self-revert and continue discussing. Salvio Let's talk about it! 16:13, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
It's worth noting I very strongly suspect User:FavorLaw is a sock of User:ChronicalUsual, who was blocked multiple times for edit-warring on this same content. -Kudzu1 (talk) 18:29, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
I wasn't aware of that; I think it would be appropriate to file a
sockpuppet investigation, then. Salvio Let's talk about it!

User has been warned multiple times about adding unsourced text to a BLP [339][340] as well as a possible conflict of interest by repetive adding of promotional text[341]

Another user warned about using multiple accounts with the similarly named Buhaina123 (talk · contribs).[342]

There seems to be a clear COI in the edits. The external link http://www.publishersmarketplace.com/members/buhaina/ is part of the additions, which has the username "buhaina" in the URL.—Bagumba (talk) 20:59, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Comment: Editor just broke 3rr on

WP:NPOV
, but the problem goes deeper than that. Please check his contrib history. User has consistently been warned about edit warring and 3rr, and his response has always been to remove the warning and continue the behavior. Between his multiple blocks, multiple ANI cases, and repeated problematic behavior (including edit warring), I believe the first step to a resolution is a preventative block to stop further disruption. A few recent diffs of previous EW warnings removed by Zenkai are below:

Just as a side note, there was no 3RR breach. This revert was a self-revert. --Chris (talk) 04:05, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

User:RJFF reported by User:Tymek

Page: Civic Platform (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

On Feb 6, user RJFF removed sourced information from the Civic Platform article [355]. I left him/her a message [356], for which I never got an answer. After some time, user RJFF again removed the information, stating: "why should anyone trust Czempiński's words?" (General Gromoslaw Czempinski is a well-known officer of Polish special forces) [357]. After I had left another message at his/her talk page: [358], user RJFF returned to deleting the information: [359]. I do not want to start an edit war, so I need somebody to solve this issue.
