If the source doesn't explicitly say his date of birth we can not use it. You've been pushing this for almost 5 years [[1]] and you should know by now what we will accept and won't.

I've been pushing for this, because factual and referenced posts are continually being deleted.

The problem is the facts you are reporting aren't supported by acceptable sources, it doesn't matter what you or I think is acceptable it matters what the website thinks is acceptable.

How can you say that the Washington Post is not a credible source?

You're picking and choosing what you consider acceptable. For instance, I have more of a concern that you "re-added" the following, after I deleted it (because I found it to be too one-sided and read more like a resume than an unbiased account):

In January 2012, Nainan performed for

Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Washington DC. President Obama said that Nainan was "hilarious".[5]

DesiBabe (talk) 21:47, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

How is that relevant to the BLP discussion we are having over a date of birth? I'm not seeing anything connected to a date of birth there.

DukeWellington has long disrupted the article, by changing words refering to Pinochet and friends for some "softer" ones, despite there is consensus labelling their regime as dictatorship. --Diego Grez (talk) 22:42, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

  • Both users have violated the 3RR rule with regards to this dispute, regardless of which one is actually correct about the concensus. There has been no discussion or "consensus" reached on the talk page. Turgan Talk 22:55, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
    • I have not violated the 3RR. I haven't reverted him four times. Discussing the article on its talk page would be useless since we would be most likely the only ones discussing. Duke's editing history shows he has constantly "softened" words about Pinochet on the article, and that is POV editing, which sums up the disruptive reverting he's been making...

User has reverted article five times with minimal engagement on talk page. User has previously violated 1RR on several occasions.

  • Declined. This report is stale (reported user hasn't edited the article since the last report was filed) and obviously retaliatory. Perhaps the reporter should take this to
    WP:AE and see how he fares there.--Bbb23 (talk
    ) 14:37, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
Given the the user made four reverts to the article in 24 hours, I am not sure why you claim that the report is "obviously retaliatory". There was no retaliatory motive on my part.
If you think that I should have filed this report earlier, you should know that:
1) I was not aware of the exact nature of a revert, until you answered the questions I had asked you about whether deletions and modifications constituted reverts too.
2) In Dlv999's complaint above, I noted the gist of this report and that I expected the information to be reviewed as per the note: "When reporting a user here, your own behavior will also be scrutinized."
I did not file a complaint until it was clear that the administrator had neglected to do so.
3) I was unaware of any time limits attached to reports or that a report could become "stale".
I request that you retract your claim that the report is "obviously retaliatory". Wikieditorpro (talk) 02:35, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
I was reviewing this one at the same time. I don't see the 1RR at all. There are 5 edits in question. The edit at 00:38 (July 1) preceded the other by more than 24 hours. The edits at 14:14, 14:13, and 14:12 are consecutive and would only count as one. The edit at 14:27 explicitly notes it is reverting an IP, which is exempt from the 1RR per the WP:ARBPIA ruling and the talk page notice. This edit does indeed seem to revert an edit by an IP on June 30 at 21:59. So, bad faith aside, I don't see technical merit either. Kuru (talk) 14:52, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
I was not aware that consecutive edits count as one. I'll remember that one for the future. Wikieditorpro (talk) 02:35, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
WP:3RR (spelled out in the pink oval). If you have to have everything spelled out for you, again, don't get yourself in these situations. Fourth, you don't know whether Dlv999's behavior was scrutinized in the report they filed against you; you know only that no action was taken. Finally, you were lucky to escape sanctions in the report against you. Instead of demanding a retraction, you should count your blessings. I'll have nothing more to say on this subject.--Bbb23 (talk
) 21:43, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
Bbb23, You spent nearly half of that paragraph re-hashing the fact that I had a report filed against me for ARPIA. That is absolutely irrelevant to a report concerning Dlv999's conduct or your claim that this report is "obviously retaliatory".
Since it is clear from the previous report that even administrators who judge these cases have trouble with the details of the 1RR rule, it is not reasonable to expect an occasional editor or an editor making his first report, to have a perfect grip of them.
Given that you are an administrator and this is an administrator's noticeboard, I would like you realize that a brief note (thank you Kuru) of where myself (or another editor) went wrong is much more helpful than sarcastic remarks, ad-hominems, and assumptions of bad faith. That is all I have to say. Wikieditorpro (talk) 04:23, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Chronology of user's diffs
  • 12:37, 18 June 2014 - Soroush90gh inserts claims that "Iranian state TV reported London-based activist was assaulted, stripped naked, and gang-raped in London in the presence of her son." This is a serious accusation, not by state TV side but by activist because her claim can not be found on any state TV website. That's why I do next:
  • 12:57, 23 June 2014 - I inserted template {{dubious}} inside the text of article, and:
  • 13:05, 23 June 2014 - Also I opened subsection "Alleged rape claim" on talk page where I explained mentioned above and I asked Soroush90gh for providing link of Persian site. After more then a week, he finally responded:
  • 07:37, 1 July 2014 - Instead of giving any official link, he linked a Youtube video as "proof". Beside it, he also inserted a blog (07:44, 1 July 2014), and also removed both {{
    NPOV
    }} tags.
  • 21:29, 2 July 2014 - I reverted it with explanation on talk page (21:32, 2 July 2014) that he still didn't provided verification from official web site.
  • 19:43, 3 July 2014 - His respond on talk page wasn't constructive but rude and insulting ("Wow, who are you?", "the funniest joke I ever heard", "I'm amazed. I'm totally mixed up"), also followed by simple revert in article (19:44, 3 July 2014).
  • 04:06, 4 July 2014 - I adviced him to avoid ad hominems and again explained everything about
    WP:VERIFY rule all over again. Since I realized he can't verify claims from activist sites, I also removed section of alleged rape claim from article (04:10, 4 July 2014
    ) because over 10 days have passed.
  • 10:06, 4 July 2014 - he reverted everything again and he still avoid to present anything reliable for verification, also continued with personal attacks on talk page (10:13, 4 July 2014) like "What's your problem?".
  • 19:15, 4 July 2014 - for third time I'm explaning about verification and I also gave him comprehensive lists of state TV portals and even links.
  • 20:58, 4 July 2014 - he didn't even engaged in discussion after all, just continued to reverting article in sheriff style.
Comments:

After everything my conclusion is that it isn't possible to have civil discussion or cooperation with User:Soroush90gh because he doesn't refrain to use serious and disgusting accusations from third-rated media as encyclopedic content, his edits reflects clear political motivation inappropriate for NPOV rules, he shows significant amoung of arrogance by avoiding discussion and engaging in edit wars. Action or opinion from above is inevitable. --Qizilbash123 (talk) 23:46, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

  • Both editors blocked. I blocked Qizilbash123 for two weeks and Soroush90gh for 48 hours for edit warring. The article was fully protected in early June for two weeks because of edit warring by these two editors and some others. As soon as the protection expired, these two editors returned and resumed the battle. They were the only two of the previous bunch except for one revert by another who then stopped, as opposed to many, many reverts by the two over the last few weeks. The reason for the difference in duration is that Soroush has a clean block log, whereas Qizilbash has a significant and recent history of blocks for edit warring.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:21, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
    • @Bbb23: It was semi-protected on 25 May, because Qizilbash123 tried to bypass 3rr with IP. This incident was referred to other admin who would fully protect on 4 June. Can be considered as long term edit warring. OccultZone (TalkContributionsLog) 17:39, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Comments:
The edits at Mandatory Palestine are an unambiguous 1RR violation in ARBPIA as defined by a literal reading of policy according to several admins, that

A "revert" means any edit (or administrative action) that reverses the actions of other editors, in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material. The context is unambiguous edit warring (rather than collaborative article development where technical 1RR violations are inevitable). It is also an example of an editor using a revert rather than following BRD in ARBPIA. After my revert with the edit summary 'rv blatant edit warring 1RR violation', the editor went to the talk page. Normally I would give an editor the opportunity to self-revert but not in this case. My edit was reverted by an obvious disposable sock account here
, as per usual in ARBPIA.

There's more. @Rachel Corrie - there is edit warring at that article. There's also misuse of the talk page by various editors but that is another story.

  • [16] first 'revert' under the strict definition at 2014-07-04T05:15 - 2014-07-04T05:23‎
  • [17] second edit at 2014-07-05T00:57. Addition of new material which may be considered by some to qualify as a revert. Given the clear POV pushing intent I would be inclined to treat it as part of the attempts by various editors to engineer the content of that article. The edit was reverted here by Malik Shabazz with the edit summary 'See template instructions about linking to COPYVIO images.'
  • [18] clear revert and 1RR violation at 2014-07-05T04:08. It also happens to be a violation of
    WP:LABEL and a clear example of selective application of policy/guidelines given that they know about LABEL, having cited it.[19][20]

I could probably go on but I can't be bothered because I see that another disposable SPA has just reverted me at Death march, so it's time for me to do something else for awhile as I am attracting socks to the project. An indefinite block for this AmirSurfLera account is inevitable in my view but that is another matter. I am not so much interested in what happens to the AmirSurfLera account here as a result of this report because it doesn't really matter, but I want to see how this pattern of edits is handled and whether they are treated as 1RR violations. Sean.hoyland - talk 07:34, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

These could only be considered violations of 1RR in the very strict, technical sense of "undoing any work that was previously in the article" - even if no edit war is a taking place. But if that is the definition to be used, then the filer of this report acknowledges he has done EXACTLY the same on

Murder of Mohammed Abu Khdeir
, another article subject to 1RR:

  • [21] edit summary acknowledges it is "rm CAMERA-ish 'disputed territories'. rm info about control+claims."
  • [22] - edit summary acknowledges "this edit is technically a 1RR violation without an edit war"

And now this editor is seeking to get another editor blocked for doing the exact same thing he acknowledges doing. Either sanction both of them, or neither one. DanDanT (talk) 08:03, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

user:DanDanT claims that he "use[s] DanDanT for editing from unsecure , public hotspots. Blue Duck T is my main account." He made 5 contributions. But user:Blue Duck T has 4 contributions all dating 2013. He is just a sock of NoCal100. Just block him. Pluto2012 (talk) 10:27, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
I agree that it is likely to be a NoCal sock as I've said before on this noticeboard since the MO is similar, but it doesn't really matter who it is. Accounts like this that look like socks should be blocked on sight. They cause most of the disruption in the topic area. Sean.hoyland - talk 10:49, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

DanDanT/Blue Duck T, it's a tactical error to assume others think the same way as yourself or that you understand them. In my case I have made my intention explicit in the request. Regarding my 2 edits at Murder of Mohammed Abu Khdeir, I agree with you that the second is indeed an unambiguous 1RR violation as I make quite clear in my edit summary. The difference is context, the presence or absence of edit warring, and whether it matters, an issue that I am interested in because it's important. At Murder of Mohammed Abu Khdeir I violated 1RR (as did several editors) without an edit war or an opponent in an edit war (as is commonplace during genuinely collaborative article development) and I was thanked for it by Dovid, the person who would need to be my opponent in an edit war for your "Either sanction both of them, or neither one" to make sense. That is the difference between collaboration and edit warring and there is a difference. The 1RR restriction was introduced to ARBPIA to reduce edit warring. It wasn't introduced to reduce collaboration. And bear in mind that you missed a second technical 1RR violation here where I added some information to a citation to address something Dovid mentioned on my talk page about paywalls. So that is 2 technical 1RR violations in the context of collaborative article development. Sean.hoyland - talk 08:44, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

  • Blocked – for a period of one month. This is for the 1RR violation at Mandatory Palestine. The first revert is not "technical". It is an important change to the article in an area that has been the subject of past and current dispute.
As for DanDanT's allegations, if a report were brought against Sean for violating 1RR on that article, I would not take any action. It's not so much Sean's admission because if that were all it took, any editor could violate 1RR with impunity simply by admitting it in the edit summary. Rather, it's the nature of the revert and the fact that the editor Sean reverted was happy about it.
One more thing while I'm here. Accusations of sock puppetry are running wild these days on this and other boards. Some editors have at least backed up their allegations by filing an SPI, but, as I recall, the SPIs were rejected. Even assuming that ARBPIA-related articles have been the victims of confirmed socks in the past doesn't give other editors an unfettered right to accuse every editor who comes along of being a sock. It's disruptive, and editors have been and may be sanctioned if they persist.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:52, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
Then please find another way of dealing with the situation that has emerged. This needs a more comprehensive approach, and I seriously doubt that the community in general is going to be happy with admins taking the view that the right sort of admin action in this situation is to block long-time contributors while failing to get to grips with obvious socks. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 18:59, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for the detailed reply.
  • I think the 1RR restrictions are clearer with this straightforward definition of a revert combined with admin discretion. It's might even encourage BRD.
  • I wasn't actually aware that the content in the first revert had been the subject of past dispute, but now you mention it I can see it all over the talk page in multiple sections.
  • Regarding accusations of sock puppetry, I could say a lot about this but I'll be repeating myself, so I'll keep it brief. Current policy, guidelines and the tools available mean that the optimum editing method for the POV pusher is to use disposable registered accounts. It's inevitable that these kinds of accounts will proliferate in a topic area like ARBPIA because they have a higher relative fitness in this environment. Their activities are not stopped or effectively suppressed by SPI, semi-protection, pending changes, 1RR or any other method currently in use to deal with these kinds of accounts. It's inevitable that people will complain about this. And when direct language is suppressed, most people simply switch to indirect language and coded statements. The statements mean the same thing and nothing changes. The environment needs to be become more hostile for socks than non-socks. Admins can make that happen overnight because they can use their discretion and judgement under the discretionary sanctions to block accounts. Sean.hoyland - talk 19:13, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

I will agree that there wasn't any real content dispute, but I would not classify the edits as obvious vandalism. The edit summaries don't make it obvious vandalism either unless the user says in its edit summary something along the lines of "vandalizing page" or "inserting false information".

User:Akocsg is using an online "source" consisting of a partial of Maenchen-Helfen's book, The World of the Huns, pages 401-412[41]. Whereas Maechen-Helfen's book concerning the language of the Huns starts on page 376 and ends on page 443. This is clearly

cherry picking information to push a certain POV. Also, the Huns article Language section, clearly indicates that what Akocsg is forcing into the lead is not academic consensus[42], with three other sources stating, "However, the evidence is scant (a few names and three non-Turkic words), thus scholars currently conclude that the Hunnic language cannot presently be classified, and attempts to classify it as Turkic and Mongolic are speculative". Despite this, Akocsg has chosen to edit war ignoring the facts posted clearly on the talk page. --Kansas Bear (talk

I am not familiar with the current formalities or the technical aspects of gathering the diffs. However the Vaporwave article is currently at the 3-revert limit between me and the reported user. The user wants to add a particular music album as an example of vaporwave style. There are no sources to support this claim,, only a link to the album on another site, and since it was released yesterday I do not expect any sources forthcoming. The user has been warned once about spamming, but not about 3RR specifically. 50.185.134.48 (talk) 01:59, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

This is slow roasting edit war. 114.31.218.104 continues to remove sourced content, replacing it with POV unsourced content, over the protests of other involved editors. While the IP has not technically violated 3RR, they have ignored an edit warring warning and requests to participate in a talk page discussion. The article was recently fully protected, during which time the IP did not join the talk page discussion. - MrX 16:29, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

As far as I am aware there is no justification for edit warring. If the IP suspected a sock they should of reported it, not engaged in edit warring. They are sufficiently aware of 3RR to have filled a report.

@MusikAnimal: I sincerely apologize. I don't have the experience of being embroiled in such controversy. Khazar (talk) 23:28, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
@Bishonen: I responded to this report not knowing you were also looking into it. Anything you have to add (or further administrative action) is obviously welcomed. Apologies for this unintended conflict. — MusikAnimal talk 23:21, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
OK, follow-up. Sorry it took a little time, but your diffs are pretty hard to interpret, Al Khazar. (They aren't actually diffs, they're page versions.) Note that people are allowed to blank their own talkpage, it's not a crime. And user talkpages + edit summaries aren't the best places for discussion anyway. I reverted you myself some minutes ago, while not being aware of this report, since your last edit, which turned up on my watchlist and which removed 20 kb of content, had no explanation in the edit summary and was marked as a minor edit (!). Those things are not good. I see you have now reverted me right back, with some explanation in the edit summary, but that is indeed too little too late. Moreover, I1990k's addition of content isn't vandalism, no matter how much you consider it undue or
pointy
, it's a content dispute. And in the timeframe you refer to above, from 5 July to now, I1990k has reverted five times at the most (your first "diff" is to an edit by BattyBot, and you need to explain how your second is a revert at all), only three of them before you filed this report, while you yourself have reverted six times. That's not counting your revert of me, let's ignore that — I'm speaking as an uninvolved admin, who meant to deal with this (but I was too slow, as often, unfortunately) since I stumbled on it without previous involvement. And, as I said, neither of you has used the talkpage, which leaves your mentions of consensus, and of the other user "neglecting negotiations", a little bewildering to me. There was a discussion of the infobox on talk in May, and another pretty desultory one stretching from January to April, but I struggle to see any consensus in those. And there's not a word on talk about the more recent issue addition/removal of the cinema text.
I had some thoughts of blocking both users, since neither has demonstrated collaborative editing, and both have certainly edit warred. But I can't in conscience agree with one of them being blocked and the other (the six-revert one, too) not, even though User:I1990k has form. I'm for fullprotecting the article for a week instead, and would ask the users to please try to work out their differences on talk, and please let's hear no more of "vandalism", because that's just not good for discussions. Of course it's worse, and indeed a bit ninja-like, to not discuss even on usertalk or in edit summaries, User:I1990k. All right if I do the fullprotection and unblock I1990k, MusikAnimal? I agree they would have deserved a block, if their conduct hadn't needed to be balanced against the other user's (who I'm reluctant to block). Bishonen | talk 23:56, 7 July 2014 (UTC).
@Bishonen: Wise decision. We'll see just how well that works out. I'll create two sections in the talk page for other editors to object or support the collage and relevant information about the ethnic group. Khazar (talk) 00:10, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
Glad you think so. I'm just waiting to see if MusikAnimal will agree. Bishonen | talk 00:55, 8 July 2014 (UTC).

@Bishonen: @Al Khazar: Sorry for the wait. My rationale behind the block was simply the history the user has had with edit warring, which implied some ongoing truth to this "ninja" mentality, as you both suggest. There is recent evidence of this outside this case, which makes me inclined to retain the block to prevent disruption elsewhere. Furthermore from what I gather the user has very little if any record of communication, which leads me question the efficacy of fully protecting Russians, as this user would be unlikely to participate in the discussion anyway. Meanwhile, I will note on Al Khazar's attempt to at least spark discussion in some form, whether it be user talk page or edit summary (though article talk page is always preferred). There is an apparent third party in this dispute, however, so I leave it to Bishonen's discretion as to if a brief protection period may be warranted. I hate to shut out any other impartial, uninvolved editors from contributing to the article, but so long as it helps draw consensus in some timely manner, I'm okay with it. — MusikAnimal talk 03:24, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Nah, what I thought was to put I1990k on probation — that if he didn't join the discussion and then reverted or otherwise disrupted again after the protection period, he'd be blocked. But you're right, it's time. I'm as unimpressed by the apparent third party as I expect you are, so I won't protect. Bishonen | talk 08:37, 8 July 2014 (UTC).

If you bring a case to the 3RR board and don't provide evidence of an actual 3RR violation you need to expect a little backtalk. I did see you vigorously reverting in the other direction, twice on July 7 and once on July 8. In none of these cases did you wait for a talk page consensus before making your change.

An IP editor is having trouble understanding the difference between quotation and paraphrasing (adding "person said 'X will be Y'" as a direct quote, from a source that only says "person said that X will be Y" as a paraphrase) and the BLP ramifications of confusing the two. They've been flatly reverting to their preferred wording as a direct quote, despite an ongoing talk thread with two other editors explaining that they're misusing the source. --

  • Blocked – for a period of 31 hours; I think McGeddon's reverts to keep the poorly sourced material out likely fall under the BLP exemption to 3RR. Plus, based on a look at the article's talk page, it's clear the IP didn't care about the issue with their proposed additions or the concerns of other users. Even more, their edit summaries were emblematic of edit warring behavior. Lord Roem ~ (talk) 17:01, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

The IP user has demonstrated a propensity toward POV editing for a while, for example this string of edits in October/November 2013 where the IP was involved in long-term edit warring with numerous users. I first encountered the IP after they'd made this good-faith edit. I opted to remove wikilinks for common words like dog, lizard, etc, as well as voice actors for whom no roles had been listed per
MOS:TV for duplicating the character list, the user reverted with the edit summary GO AND SUCK A PIPE!!. User later restored the list in spite of an active discussion on the article's talk page. Compounding the issue, the user hasn't demonstrated any intention of participating in discussions, for example this one, or on their own talk page, where they tend to blank notes and warnings and "reply" in their edit summaries. "Well excuse me their is no reason to be so ANAL..." I've also noticed a recurring "I'm not the one to blame here" mindset in their edit summaries. They appear to have expressed an awareness of their mistakes, which is a step in the right direction, though I'm not sure how to encourage this user to edit with consensus in mind or to adequately convey that this is Wikipedia's project, not their own.

The IP has been reverting my attempts to enforce
MOS:BOLD on filmographies (lead roles should not be bolded, and some of this is OR without providing a source), and my attempt to flag BLP sources per list, which was prompted out of recent discussions with other editors to provide better sources on biography articles, some of which have been AFD'ed.

Total bullshit. A consensus was reached on the talk page that my edits were far more NPOV than the last. My first revert was of someone who rolled back weeks sort of edits, got reverted, made the same edit, so technically they violated the revert rule. The second revert was because this editor was plain wrong. I added the word allegedly because the article assumes that ISM's claims are true when they are contradicted by Israeli claims, hence no side should be taken. the third edit wasn't even illegal because a new day started. Look at Sean's edits and you'll see why he's reporting me: pro-Palestinian POV. I am a new editor and in my actual "warning" I was intimidated and harassed by an admin who didn't understand common decency, and one lacky who thought i had secret accounts. There was a general consensus on the talk page that the article was biased, so I was "bold" and tried to fix it. I want to make Wikipedia a better, fairer knowledge resource. I think good faith outweighs any small bureaucratic rule. Thanks for your time guys! --monochrome_monitor 05:42, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

What exactly is the point of this? You're not interested in having a decent introduction for that article. I get it. You value the ability to tell the teacher on people about a lack of "civility", rather than actually being civil and answering simple requests for further detail about what it is you objected to in my text. I get it. I opened a talk page section, the person who was SHOUTING at me to STOP EDIT WARRING couldn't be bothered to contribute there, and nobody else who replied could be bothered to give an actual explanation that I could work with, so I concluded the whole thing was a giant waste of time, and decided to shit can the whole thing. And now you're objecting to that? WTF? I'm not planning on touching that article again, not with a ten foot barge pole. If I didn't know it would be futile, I'd remove what I already added, because I only did so to support the revised opening, which is no longer there.

I have tried hard to resolve the dispute on the talk page. I think User Strike is biased in this report as he is an Israeli same as user Gunrpks who started this editorial war. I am new to wikipedia and never been egaged in editorial wars that's why I don know about these rules. I got provoked by User Gunrpks attitude and the war he launched on that particular article. I did resort to discussion and today (The day I was reported) I did not make any contribs to the Article. I just replied to Gunrpks comments...Something that may have provoked him and made him bring his friend strike here to report me.

Comment by Nishidani

So, Shrike, you observed edit warring, and singled out two edits by an Arab editor as worthy of report. This is what your report doesn't state, about the editor the newby twice reverted (User:Gunrpks).

Gunrpks has been round since 6 August 2013, and has edited several I/P pages since. Last night he went like a dose of salts, or lived up to the POV in his handle (gun+RPK) through a new page and shot about reverting in succession in the following style:

He only desisted when I formally warned him by providing diffs, while informing him I would not register a complaint. Shrike is fully aware of this, but has collected diffs against the fellow with the Arabic handle. If he is concerned about proper conduct, edit-wearring and encyclopedic neutrality, he should have provided the same diffs, which show even more problematical behaviour. Both editors of course, edit-warred.(I only see now that a complaint has been made against Gunrpks below.Nishidani (talk) 13:48, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

My reported stated that other users are edit warred as well and should be warned too so you accusation is certainly breach of
WP:ARBPIA
.
Given the severity of
WP:AGF, since I have had occasion to observe neither over time. You picked the least offensive editor to make your report. That is not good practice. I am not making an 'accusation'. I am reminding you of good practice and the need for equitable approaches.Nishidani (talk

Comments:
The reported editor has repeatedly installed a POV edit into the article that is not consistent with the sourced claims of the section. Despite two other editors supporting my concerns on the article talk page the editor has persisted with reverting to his POV version. After the editor reverted a fifth time I left a 3RR warning at his talk page (he hadn't violated 3RR at that point since only three of the five reverts were in a 24-hour frame). Within minutes of posting the warning on his talk page an anonymous IP reverted yet again. I believe it is the same editor reverting to his preferred version of the article but attempting to avoid sanction for edit-warring. The editor supports Fleetwood F.C. (a UK football club) on his user page while the IP operates out of Longsight UK, with Fleetwood and Longsight situated just 50 miles apart. Betty Logan (talk) 11:14, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

Comments:

Knight of BAAWA has recently been edit warring over the following sentence: "Anarcho-Capitalism is not usually recognized as a form of anarchism by most traditional anarchists, as anarchism has historically been anti-capitalist." The sentence is a true-but-not-very-flattering summary of well-cited article body text, positioned in the lead section. Knight of BAAWA does not like this derogation of anarcho-capitalism, and would rather tell the reader that anarcho-capitalists consider themselves to be "pure 'anarchist' in the strict sense", which is not supported by article body text. A flurry of edit-warring has ensued, with many users involved. Because of the edit warring to keep out the unflattering text, Goethean tagged the article as having problems with neutrality. Despite his full awareness that the issue was indeed in dispute, and his having been warned about edit warring, Knight of BAAWA removed the NPOV tag. His edit summary was "Disputed by whom? Just because you aren't getting your own way, statists, doesn't mean NPOV. Do NOT misuse tags as a form of disruptive editing." All by itself, the removal of the tag is clearly an expression of battleground behavior, and constitutes an entrenched attitude of edit warring which goes beyond 3RR. The insulting edit summary, calling other editors "statists" just underlines the battleground stance. Despite the last diff being 50 hours after the previous one, it shows how intractable Knight of BAAWA has become, how little he thinks of a collegial atmosphere, and how his disruption extends to calling others names.

You failed to notify them of this discussion as you're required to do; I did so for you. Although not a new user, they have never been blocked before, so it's not clear, particularly with the immense amount of activity on that page that they knew they were might breach 3RR, although the sanctions blurb is prominently displayed on the talk page. They were just alerted to the sanctions, so I wouldn't block them for violating 1RR.

I sought to address this on the talk page of the editor, as reflected above, and on the article talkpage.

Comments:
In addition to the activity being edit warring, the editor plainly disregarded the fact (pointed out to him numerous times) that his additions violated

wp:burden
.

Which states:

"The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and is satisfied by providing a citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution.... Attribute ... any material challenged ... to a reliable, published source using an inline citation. Cite the source clearly and precisely (specifying page, section, or such divisions as may be appropriate). The citation must clearly support the material as presented in the article.

Any material lacking a reliable source directly supporting it may be removed and should not be replaced without an inline citation to a reliable source."

He was restoring information, some of it blp info, that had been deleted in accord with

wp:TENANTS (which states: "Wikipedia is not a directory, and for that reason we should avoid including tenant lists ... in shopping center articles (except in the circumstances described below).") That the material was deleted on those bases is reflected in the edit summaries
and in the various posts made to his talk page.

Epeefleche (talk) 04:46, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

  • (edit conflict) I began to work on this article tonight as I had found 11 sources, and the article in its current condition fails WP:V.  There was also a problem that Epeefleche has been removing material from articles at AfD without looking for sources and without posting CN tags before removing the material, and in a recent related case I've documented a removal of sourced material.  So I began by restoring a stable version of the article, but I made two adjustments to re-remove lists of tenants that add nothing to the article (as per WP:TENANTS).  But 4 minutes into my beginning to work, Epeefleche started editing the article before I had even posted any of the 11 sources.  I cleaned up the edit conflict and got the sources posted and some other routine edits, only to find two templates on my talk page.  This is one of Epeefleche's MO's, templating the regulars.  I'm already in a dispute with him in an RfC at WT:V, so I decided that I didn't care at that point about losing the work, and anyway it was in the edit history.  So I restored his last edit.  Then I posted at the AfD.  Then I reviewed my watchlist.  I discovered I had created a 2nd edit conflict when I restored what I thought was Epeefleche's last edit.  This was way too complicated, this needed discussion.  So this time when I restored the stable version of the article, it was a straight restoration...and my edit comment said, "talk page is next".  Please see the talk page of the article, as I continued to post there without being aware of this 3RR.  I have made two proposals on the talk page of the article.  I am not aware of any edit warring by either party.  Unscintillating (talk) 06:35, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
  • Lord -- I believe the confused record has misled you. The editor (Unscintillating) did at one point revert his own additions after being requested repeatedly to do so on his talk page ... but he then reverted his revert, and added back the material in direct violation of wp:burden.
After all the above-indicated talk page messages to him. A sysop (wearing his "just an editor" hat) -- not Unscintillating -- had to then revert most of Unscintillating's inappropriate additions, which he did here.
And the rest of Unscintillating's additions were then wiped out in a redirect by yet another editor.
But your understanding that Un reverted his own additions is, as to his ultimate edits, not the case. Epeefleche (talk) 23:53, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
  • Note -- As noted above, the close above by Lord Roem is based on a mistake by the Lord. While it is true that the editor had reverted his own additions, as Lord said in giving his rationale -- the editor then restored the very additions that the editor had deleted. Lord clearly missed that.
His close can't be a legitimate close -- as the rationale is based on an incorrect understanding by Lord.
I would appreciate another sysop closing this. Epeefleche (talk) 20:25, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
  • Regarding the repeated comments above regarding WP:V, Epeefleche quotes from WP:V, but omits the following conditional, "Whether...this should happen depends...".  I have documented a recent case of an article that Epeefleche took to AfD in which he removed sourced material during the AfD while claiming a WP:V entitlement.
Over the weekend I spent a man day working up the details and sequence of events of this incident and posted them at [136] (@RoySmith:).  What I have found out is that after I said "talk page is next", nine minutes later Epeefleche was working to avoid discussion.  He did finally post, but ignored my questions.  Since the closing admin hoped that Epeefleche would, "work this out on the talk page", Epeefleche is in violation of the spirit of the closing of this 3RR report.  Please also review Epeefleche's definition of "at length" discussion, as seen at [137].  It is appropriate that Epeefleche be warned for refusal to discuss.  @Lord Roem:Unscintillating (talk) 02:00, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
  • I started to dig into Epeefleche's contributions around the time of July 2 tonight, and soon found [138]@Lord Roem: You state, "I've looked at it again. I don't believe they were edit warring; they also appear to have moved their thoughts to the talk page. That is a productive step and I encourage you both to pursue it towards consensus."  You've now told him twice and I've told him once that there was no edit warring.  But subsequent to your 2nd ruling, he/she has found an excuse to not discuss, says words to the effect that he/she doesn't understand your ruling, re-asserts that there was edit warring, and above wants another admin to re-close.  Please support WP:BRD and issue a warning.  Unscintillating (talk) 04:15, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
  • I'm not issuing a warning for a user being displeased at one of my decisions. I think it would be far more productive for both of you to work out your disagreements on the article's talk page instead of prolonging the debate on this noticeboard. Lord Roem ~ (talk) 04:32, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
  • @Lord -- As to your suggestion that the article's talkpage be used to discuss this -- first, that's not the appropriate forum for the gravamen of this report. Second, as indicated above, all the challenged text that Un had been restoring in violation of wp:v and wp:TENANTS has now been addressed, as it has been deleted (again), by other editors. So there is no longer any dispute as to text residing in the article (which itself no longer exists, it has been redirected). Only a dispute as to the reported edit warring.

  • After what has been now almost a week, I do not believe a block is necessary to prevent further disruption. At this point, both of you should be clear on what you should and shouldn't do during a disagreement. You seem to be asking that the other editor be blocked as punishment, which is something
    I won't do. Lord Roem ~ (talk

  • There is nothing to discuss there -- inasmuch as the article itself no longer exists, and all the material you added in violation of wp:burden has been deleted by other editors. The only remaining item is a
    behavioral one. Epeefleche (talk

Unscintillating, it's perfectly acceptable for non-admins to redirect articles if consensus exists. Right now, the only issue is that you are displeased with the consensus to delete those articles. pbp 20:20, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

  • I came to this article on 2 July to add eleven references.  One of the things to discuss is what it means when an editor says "restore stable version of article" as was said here.  Does this mean "time to template the editor's talk page and disregard stability of the article", or does this mean "the talk page is indicated as per WP:BRD"?  Unscintillating (talk) 05:54, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

This user has been adding unsourced stuff and doing massive changes on the featured list Miley Cyrus discography without discussing. He has been removing singles off the singles table, adding false certifications and restoring stuff that were decided to be removed in prior discussions.

I've been reverting his edits for so long and and asking him to discuss before doing massive changes. The users User:Status and User:Shane Cyrus have also been reverting his vandalism. He keeps ignoring us all. Then I messaged him on his talk page; I told him it was his last warning, but again he ignored me. Therefore I would like to request this user to be blocked from editing on Wikipedia. Vandalism cannot be accepted in here and he already had too many chances to change his behaviour. decodet. (talk) 20:14, 13 July 2014 (UTC) -->

  • Blocked – for a period of one week. The edit warring against consensus is sporadic. However, the user logs in sporadically. In addition, except for once in January 2014, when the user shouted on the talk page, the user has never discussed their edits. Instead, they roll in, blast the article, and roll back out. There may be other disruptive editing at other discographies, but I didn't review them.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:53, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

I've made every effort to return the article to its previous baseline and help address concerns but OKNoah is not interested in working by consensus on the matter. The behaviour has consisted of both blanking sections and classifying the subject software as malware and any attempts to revert and subsequently discuss are unsuccessful. Staglit has also undone one blanking edit by OKNoah, which he/she prompt reverted.[154] I have no interest is getting into a further revert war and request the article be reverted to its baseline, potentially [155] (improved level of citation) and further edits be agreed to by consensus (page protect?).

Material violating

RfC on the material you feel should be added. Frankly, speculation (the Lewinsky bit is certainly a "contentious claim") is rarely a "good thing" in any BLP, but the bit about "carousel voting" might or might not be usable depending on sourcing. Collect (talk
) 12:21, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

It would be useful to keep semiprotection on the page, since there are IPs involved in edit warring. Binksternet (talk) 15:54, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
I will defer to 2over0 and Collect for recommendations on that. I have already stepped on enough toes in protecting/unprotecting ... I checked everywhere I could think of for discussion, but forgot, in all honesty, that this page existed. If semi-protection is deemed warranted by the aforementioned pair, I will do so (or they can). Go Phightins! 15:56, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
I understand that "Material violating
WP:BLP is an exception to the 3RR rule". But why did Binksternet's POV on this prevail and mine become a violation? I just don't see how a simple mention of something completely not personal a political figure said in front of dozens of people on TV consistutes libel. She didn't deny she said that. Could someone explain how my actions became "material violation"? Binksternet's POV on that is (in order of appearance): video can be edited, Russia Today is not reliable and neither is YouTube (merely as a storage space for the said video). Isn't this a bit too wide an interpretation of both BLP and IRS? Le Grand Bleu (talk
) 17:00, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

I have no desire to get involved in the article itself BUT in case anyone had not noticed, Le Grand Bleu (talk · contribs) has resorted to using an IP sock 109.1.253.104 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) to continue his contribution to the edit war despite this ANI report.

Although not in excess of three in 24 hours this is repeated insertion of the same content against consensus after lengthy prior discussion here and several reminders on talk. MrBill3 (talk) 05:38, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

I think it's fair to note that since this report being filed, said editor has escalated their edit warring through likely sock puppetry. Immediately after being informed of 3rr rules and that a consensus against the text he is trying to introduce exists, anonymous accounts [156] [157] began edit warring in his stead. Furthermore, another possible sock account recently vowed to disrupt the article so I find it doubtful that Revihist will ever stop edit warring or using socks and instead discuss the content through the talk page.

  • Comment This does not appear to be a bright-line issue of a
    WP:3RR violation. The IP—two IPs, technically—has only made three reverts within the last 24 hours and has not violated 3RR. That said, I strongly suggest that the IP not attempt to re-add the contentious material to the article but instead engage in a civil discussion at the article's talk page. The IP is also reminded to focus on content, not the other editors, and that any attempt to reveal personal information about an editor could result in an immediate block. —C.Fred (talk

Yes, there has been some incivility here, but no edit warring. I would encorage both parties to discuss the edits in question, and try and get on with more civil behavior towards one another. With no warning for edit warring, I would advise that this is not yet at AN3 level yet, and furthur discussion is needed. --Mdann52talk to me! 11:24, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
Look at the reason given for my edits, and the reason given by "AlanS" for reverting them. What exactly do you think needs to be discussed? And you yourself then joined the attack, reverting my carefully made edits which removed false and irrelevant information saying "I feel this is better before".

It is difficult to quite understand what is going on from the diffs, but a SPA keeps adding an age prescription to the US entry for the PG certificate. As explained in the article (and on the article talk page) and backed up with a source, the PG rating does not carry age guidance. It's clearly wrong, it goes against the sources, but the editor keeps reverting. Betty Logan (talk) 21:11, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Indeed a hopeless case, incapable of conceiving of the notion that his pet theory might be wrong, or of providing any decent source to support it, not to mention throwing tantrums like this. One of the oddest POV-warriors I have ever come across, advocating a fringe Greek nationalist view while being incapable of writing in proper Greek himself. It says something when a Greek nationalist cannot write the word "Greeks" properly in the Greek language, to the point I initially believed that he was trolling. The sooner he is blocked, the sooner the mess he causes every now and then at Aromanians will stop. Constantine 12:32, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
I previously issued a two-week block per the last 3RR report. This guy seems to be a very determined crank who is unreachable through ordinary discourse.

User was warned, has several previous reverts - three editors, myself included, have judged the material acceptable or at least not worthy of wholesale removal. There is no basis for claiming the BLP exemption as the material removed is reliably sourced. The editor has an evident issue with some of the criticism in the article, but instead of attempting to come to consensus about the material or engage in dispute resolution, they are simply revert-warring to enforce their POV. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 18:12, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

I don't understand. Instead of not edit warring and resolving this content dispute at the article talk page you celebrate the edit war, continue the edit war, and then bring it here. By celebrate I mean your summary "Yay slo-mo edit war" [174] for this revert. You should, perhaps, not engage in and celebrate edit warring yourself. Certainly you shouldn't edit do it aggressively and then complain here about it as the aggrieved party. Capitalismojo (talk) 18:40, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
Material in question is manifestly inappropriate for a BLP, for the reasons endlessly stated in edit summaries and at talk. It takes the tone of a political attack ad, misrepresents the cited sources, and pushes non-notable criticism and material with strong defamatory potential.
I removed several violations weeks ago, with a separately stated justification for each edit, after which User:Sepsis_II showed up to revert all the deletions in a single edit with the comment that it was all "notable sourced criticism". Besides taking issue with that, I note he did absolutely nothing to respond to my objections that the material misrepresented its sources.
Even after I rewrote the material to closely track cited sources, Sepsis and a number of other users all insisted on restoring the prior (highly objectionable, axe-grinding polemic) version . I encourage all reviewing editors to inspect the two competing versions and ask themselves who is violating policy here.
Another editor opened a DR case, but it was closed for (IMO) failure by the chief anti-Rubin editor (User:Aua) to show up and participate.
Since then a number of other editors have showed up to reinsert the inappropriate material, without any attempted discussion whatsoever.
Unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory material doesn't go in BLPs, and in my opinion that's the end of the story. And I am certainly not the only person noting the inappropriateness; OP merely seems to have forgotten to mention all the editors who didn't take his side.
(Oh and I should also note that some of these specific POV problems were already raised by another editor over 18 months ago, with Sepsis and Aua engaging in extensive talk-page sophistry to keep the material in the article, against policy.) Centrify (f / k / a FCAYS) (talk) (contribs) 18:43, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
Except that none of the material you've removed is unsourced or poorly-sourced. You admitted as much when you declined to invoke the BLP exemption in your edit summaries. You used every single possible word to justify your reverts except "this is removed because of BLP." That can't be by accident - obviously you understand that you can't invoke the BLP exemption to 3RR to remove material that isn't unsourced or poorly-sourced. It's obvious that you disagree with the material that you're removing, but all of it comes from impeccable reliable sources. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 19:09, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
  • Comment -- I'm not invoking the BLP exemption to 3RR. Admins should feel free to sanction me without risk of hurting my feelings. I am invoking the BLP exception to
    WP:CONSENSUS; put bluntly, I don't need consensus to uphold core policies at a BLP. WP is not a popularity contest, and WikiMedia Foundation doesn't have a flush cash budget to fight defamation lawsuits by disgruntled BLP subjects who have ample access to legal counsel.

    22:05, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
I was mainly using "poorly sourced" as a gentle euphemism to refer to material that badly misrepresents its sources, or that is sustainable only by a feat of OR because the WP article text does not faithfully track the cited source itself. If material misrepresents its cited sources, it's a bit of a semantic question whether it is "unsourced" or "poorly sourced" or something else entirely.
But using a Beirut newspaper as a source for claims about alleged "Islamophobia" and "promot[ing] a call for Palestinian genocide" does also seem to raise source-quality issues (though there is much overlap with questions of WP:WEIGHT). Centrify (f / k / a FCAYS) (talk) (contribs) 19:30, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
There is no source-quality issue with
Al-Akhbar, any more than there is a source quality issue with Commentary or Accuracy in Media
, neither of which you have seen fit to remove. They are reliable sources, at the very least, for opinions published in their pages.

I'm saying that an editorial condemnation appearing only in a newspaper in Beirut is not entitled to any weight at all in the English Wikipedia BLP of the target of the condemnation. Which you would know if you had been participating in Talk instead of just reverting and filing cases against me.
Besides defamation concerns which are unique to BLPs, WP generally does not republish niche views, except perhaps in articles about the persons or organizations espousing such views. Centrify (f / k / a FCAYS) (talk) (contribs) 19:56, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
We don't discriminate against sources because of their location. Your assertion that it is a "niche" view is interesting, but that is a subject for editorial discussion, not a cause of action to revert under the BLP exemption.

Source misrepresentation all by itself is enough to render material improper and subject to removal. And then there's the POV editorializing by WP editors which is never supposed to see the light of day in the first place. Maybe you could just restore the material that doesn't do stuff like that, instead of restoring all of the material (including obvious policy violations) without paying attention to its content? Centrify (f / k / a FCAYS) (talk) (contribs) 20:07, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
As (apparently) the "chief anti-Rubin editor," I just have to say one thing: dealing with Factchecker_atyourservice is an absolute nightmare. He uses personal attacks ad-lib (check out Jennifer Rubin's talkpage), removes whatever he doesn't like, and posts terse, completely unreasonable posts justifying the removal. It's an absolute nightmare trying to maintain the integrity of the article with someone hounding you every single second because they don't like what the sources say. The general approach he takes:
1. There are no sources to back you up,
2. OK, maybe there are sources, but there are not enough of them,
3. OK, maybe there are enough sources, but they are all crap,
4. You're stupid.
Rinse and repeat. It's impossible to make any progress or compromise. I almost give up.
Cheers, Λuα (Operibus anteire) 20:20, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
This from the editor who brought us (and remains committed to fighting for) encyclopedic little BLP gems like the following:

In a follow-up column,[1] Rubin acknowledged that her decision to blame Muslim extremists for the Norway attacks was premature, but she did not apologize for her remarks nor did she condemn the right-wing anti-Muslim ideology that motivated the attacker, Anders Behring Breivik. Jeffrey Goldberg defended Rubin's initial article that falsely accused Muslims of perpetrating the attack.[2]

Reader, do you find yourself wondering where we got this wonderful editorial analysis noting that Rubin never apologized for her remarks, noting that she failed to condemn the extremist ideology of a mass murderer, and implying that she was somehow unique or noteworthy in mistakenly assuming that the shooting was carried out by a Muslim? Spoiler alert: you needn't waste your time looking for such views in the cited sources. Centrify (f / k / a FCAYS) (talk) (contribs) 20:55, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Urm...no? I didn't write that. Maybe I restored it when I reverted massive removal of content and pleaded for BRD. But nice try. Back to the issue of 3RR violation and constant refusal to accept RS.

Cheers, Λuα (Operibus anteire) 23:41, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Does the material somehow become less violative of WP policy because you didn't write it, only repeatedly reinserted it despite unanswered objections that it violated policy? What, in your mind, must be done to satisfy

The article is under 1RR, with clear warning. (Arab-Israeli conflict) Comments:

Statement by Nishidani

Well, certainly, if I have erred there, I will certainly accept the due sanction. I have often asked editors to tip me off if I break 1R, because I still have difficulty with it, and when their complaint is justified (I usually ask for a neutral expert on my page to examine the diffs and tell me what the legal call is) I revert. I'm confused however about the above complaint. That is an extremely fast evolving article, with high frequency edits by most regulars. As the edit history shows, after its inception, I tended to edit it just once a day or every other day, to avoid precisely this risk (I think a large number of editors could have violated the rule over the last several days, but this sort of article requires some collegial understanding, and I don't hunt for such infractions if the editor is a serious contributor). In any case, reviewing Tritomex's complaint (the last of a long history of A/I complaints against me)

  • The first diff is an (a) update of casualties, which change by the hour and (b) an addition to the lead per NPOV as explained on the talk page to balance the insinuation by one party that the civilian deaths were a result of Hamas using human shields. The NGO cited doubts that, and the unilateral statement required balancing.
  • The second diff added a source and text to the page, without, as far as I can see reverting anyone. The fine print looks as I examine it, as if in changing ‘rejected the proposal’ for ‘stated’ I was reverting Tritomex’s words, (which as I noted on the page consisted in (a) choosing a damaging statement without NPOV parity (b) the ‘rejection’ of the proposal is odd, because the source I introduced states that the Al-Qassam Brigades were not consulted about the proposal. How, as Tritomex spins it, a party to the dispute can ‘reject’ a proposal it says it never heard of, is bewildering. Still this may, in the fine print, look like my first revert. My memory is that the new material I introduced (not reverting) required a change of grammar, and in doing that I restated the earlier language, but that is a personal motivation, not an excuse.
  • The third diff is, again, just updating a rapidly evolving article’s factual details because the death count changes by the hour. I added a cit needed request because in altering the number I didn’t have time to substitute the BBC source which gave the outdated 148 figure, for the point of this edit was to add the statement

IDF Major-General Oren Shachor is on record as stating:“If we kill their families, that will frighten them.” (Gideon Levy, 'Israel's real purpose in Gaza operation? in another section, and I happened to notice while doing so, that in the paragraph higher up, the fatality figure was totally outdated (as Ma’an News had reported an hour earlier).

I simply can't see where the 1R rule was broken. I was, in two diffs, adding new material and incidentally en passant adjusting figures falsified by new statistics available to anyone. The only real revert here surely was diff 2. The others consist of, unless I am mistaken, corrections of patently outdated statistics, as is normal with rapidly evolving articles. Still, if I have slipped up, I'd appreciate either that an expert inform me what I need to revert, or, elsewhere, just take the due rap.Nishidani (talk) 11:26, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
Bbb23. I don't mind where it goes. If if should be shifted to A/E, no objections. I'm still nonplussed that after some hours I can't get this damned issue of IR clarified for some guidance. This fuss could have been avoided had Tritomex exercised the courtesy several editors have in the past of notifying me, on the talk page or on mine. I dislike edit-warring intensely, but if the 3 reverts, diffs do add up to that, well, 'tied to th' stake,' I'll 'stand the course,' without further comment, and hope also fellow editors desist and leave it to the judges, before comments get out of hand.Nishidani (talk) 16:28, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
By the way, just to show how intricately difficult it is for editors to work articles like this, in the 2nd diff., I gave a report that Islamic Jihad was unfamiliar with the truce, because that's what Ma'an news said some hours ago. Unfortunately that now turns out to be untrue. In the reedited page, 'Hamas heard of ceasefire 'through media' we now read at 5 pm

'Islamic Jihad said the group was officially notified about the Egyptian initiative response.'

So my edit is now falsified by the facts within 3 hours, and has to be altered, but I, who track these details rather obsessively throughout the day, can't do it. With other editors, through the talk page, in rapidly developing articles, a self-correction would have been no problem. And useless energy is wasted in pettifogging. Nishidani (talk) 16:55, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
Fair enough. If I have, and I have no problems with taking one admin's word for it, I broke 1R, I shouldn't be allowed to get away with it. The fact that, under the reading of changes in casualties, probably 10 editors broke that rule, is not a defense. As SH and others have remarked, thus interpreted, it translates into a directive not to make more than one edit every 24 hours, for everyone, because the fluidity of the text is such that all sections are subject to frequent change, and keeping track of what constitutes a revert is, at least to my ageing (no excuse) mind impossible.
If no sanction is applied, or if Tritomex declines, as is his right, from taking this to A/E for a sanction, then I guess I'll have to sanction myself, as I have in the past, given that an infraction appears to have occurred. I'll suspend myself for 48 hours. If elsewhere that is considered insufficient, then of course, I will accept whatever length of time arbitrators determine is appropriate given my record. In closing, I would point out that Tritomex states in his complaint that

the third revert made by Nishidani in last 24 hours was actually mine.

meaning I guess, 'the third revert Nishidani made altered two words in my edit.'
Well, yes, but I noted immediately on the talk page, which I use exhaustively to discuss changes with colleagues, and where Tritomex is mostly invisible, that this selective use of any number of quotes was an egregious POV spin to the lead that had to be removed. Aany POV spinner could have a field day trying to cram Israeli sound bites of a similar tenor into the lead like '"Bring the Gaza Strip back to the Stone Age"/"We do not even need to bomb houses and empty areas! We should simply deny them electricity, water, food and medicine until they fall on their knees." ) but, unlike Tritomex, they refrain from fixing the lead to engender outrage: -all the guideless insist on this.
Yet in drawing his attention to this I stated,

I couldn't remove it, because of Irr but it has to be taken out and moved below,

meaning, when I adjusted that section, I thought I was not touching Tritomex's essential contribution, though believing it an egregiously pointy edit set down to spin an impression of unilateral 'evil' because I had understood that doing so would have made me trip the 1R rule. I tried to be fastidiously scrupulous, and, that rule is so weird, it gets the better of me every time. But, rules are rules, even if I'll never understand where I infringed them!Nishidani (talk) 21:06, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Statement by Zero0000

It's quite absurd to treat bringing a statistic up to date as a revert. A conflict is ongoing and the (claimed) casualties keep increasing, so editors update them. It is good editing, not edit warring. It should only be considered a revert if it undoes a previous update. The first and third diffs only show such updating together with insertion of new material. The second diff consists of addition of new material together with the minimal adjustment of previous text that is necessary for the new material to fit in. I think this report is worthless. Zerotalk 11:51, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Question from Sean.hoyland

Tritomex, would you be able to explain what made you select this particular editor out the large number of editors who have been routinely making more than one revert (strictly speaking)/day as the

Operation Protective Edge
current event article is developed?

Is it

  • a) because you have used an objective decision procedure that resulted in the selection of this particular editor out of the large set of editors who have broken 1RR since the article was created on 2014-07-08, and if so, what was that decision procedure ?
  • or b) because the editor made some content decisions that your oppose (including changing content with the stated aim of improving balance, content that you added) and that you believe the 1RR restrictions can be used to selectively target editors in cases like this ?

Sean.hoyland - talk 11:55, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Comment by tritomex

I did not pick up anyone, the third revert made by Nishidani in last 24 hours was actually mine. By saying this I agree that anyone who violates the 1RR has to be sanctioned, regardless of his/her opinion and regardless of any issue. The same rules applies to all of us. Especially this is truth for sensitive 1RR articles related to Arab-Israeli conflict and ongoing war. I did not checked other editors, nor it is my task. Also, I pointed out to Nishidani that one of this reverts, the edition of editorial opinion from Gideon Levy from the article named "Israel's real purpose in Gaza operation? To kill Arabs" [178] published by Haaretz should not be used as source for following claim "IDF Major-General Oren Shachor is on record as stating:“If we kill their families, that will frighten them.” If such record exists, it should be sourced from reliable secondary sources and not with editorial opinions, especially if this is done without proper attribution to source (Gideon Levy) as this could be seen as serious allegation (of war crime), against living person, which could violate

WP:BLP--Tritomex (talk
) 13:02, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

You may not have noticed but in three of these recent articles, beginning with
2014 kidnapping and murder of Israeli teenagers, as per the talk page, we had a collegial understanding that an intensely edited article under rapidly evolving events meant we'd not go round scrutinizing each others' edits to get evidence against each other. The strong editors understood that and I, for one, had an excellent understanding with User:Epeefleche to that effect. We disagree about everything except that WP:NPOV, collegiality and a gentleman's word are important, and edit-warring is something one associates with clear abuse, not the frailty of missing things by accident (if this is the case). The article, very difficult, developed fluently precisely because no one used it to catch out anyone. Nishidani (talk

  • Note This report is formatted like one at
    WP:ARE. Why not bring it there if we're going to have this kind of extended discussion (statements)? I understand it's acceptable to bring an ArbCom 1RR violation here, but one doesn't usually see this style of report. Also, here, the general rule is one administrator will make a determination, whereas at ARE more admins generally look at the issue and reach a consensus.--Bbb23 (talk
    ) 14:38, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
Thank you Bbb23 for your comment. I didn't wish to engage in dialogue on my report but as I was asked specific questions by Sean.hoyland, I felt the need to answer. That is why my simple 1RR report may look as ARE case. The purpose of my report is that everyone has to respect 1RR which equally applies to all of us, for years. Especially this is a case for experienced editors who are knowing well the rules.--Tritomex (talk) 15:36, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
I've reviewed the three diffs. From a technical perspective,
WP:ARE. Another administrator may choose to act, but I'm not going to do so. All I've done is officially alert Nishidani to the discretionary sanctions because it's been over a year since he's been alerted or sanctioned, and that's housekeeping, not a "warning". I'm not going to decline the report, either. I've made my comments, and I'm done.--Bbb23 (talk

Consecutive edits count as a "single revert" - no edit war is found, though th editor does seem to make quite a few edits on the topic. Collect (talk) 20:49, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

I explained 2 times the user about editing in discussion and not seem to mind anything, so I request the intervention of an administrator [185] and [186]. Besides several messages that the user has left on my talk are insults and personal attacks.--

Comments:

User has been engaged on their talk page as well as on the article's talk page, to no avail. Chris Troutman (talk) 23:06, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

  • Note. First, the reported user has not breached 3RR as the fourth revert is well outside the 24-hour window. Second, although one of the sources is not available to me because it requires a password, the others do not support much of the material that the reported user is removing. That would be a
    WP:BLP violation and is exempt from edit warring. Also, the user has participated in a discussion.--Bbb23 (talk
    ) 23:39, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Comment agree there is a source which should be deleted due to login requirement. I am happy reconsider wording of the passage to better reflect reliable sources. There has been a reluctance by Panhead2014 to engage in meaningful discussion on their talk page and the article's talk page but the latest entry is a start.

There are also grounds for suspecting that the website in question frequently contains material uploaded in breach of copyright: this example (linked in our

WP:RFPP. Both of these can lead to this being closed with no action taken. OTOH yours and AndyTheGrump's concerns merit the attention of an admin. This is just a suggestion so please feel free to proceed as you wish and thanks to you both for your vigilance. MarnetteD|Talk
20:10, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
Yeah - this probably isn't the best place to deal with this issue. An RFPP isn't going to help much though - multiple articles are being spammed with links, and we can't protect them all indefinitely. I suspect blacklisting the website may be the only effective solution. AndyTheGrump (talk) 20:17, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: I haven't, but there is consensus on archived article talk pages that this should not be done, and the user was informed of this consensus.

Comments:
If either

  1. the ewsoft warning is considered adequate, IP1 is the same as the user, or
  2. IP2 is the same as the user,

then the 4th revert was after the warning. Otherwise, technically, not.

If edit#1 is not considered a revert, then both IPs must the same person to get a count of 4 reverts. However, I'm pretty sure the new text in the second section has been in the article previously, but perhaps only before 2011, when the new reference came out. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 19:42, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

I will note in passing that while Arthur Rubin didn't start a thread on the article's talk page, he did make a point of reaching out Ccpb101 on Ccpb101's user talk page here, noting the existence of prior discussions in the article talk page's archives, and briefly explaining some of the problems with the sources that Ccpb101 was using.

It appears that all this IP's edits have been reverted as unexplained, against consensus, and/or vandalism. Also is just 12 days out from being blocked for 3 months for the same thing. —    Bill W.    (Talk)  (Contrib)  (User:Wtwilson3)  — 19:15, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Looking through the list of edits this IP has made, they don't seem interested in being a constructive contributor to the project. It seems like basically the user is making changes that don't appear to be vandalism but basically amount to it. I have written on the IP's talk page, here, and indicated in the edit summaries to go to the article talk page but nothing has been done by the editor. XFEM Skier (talk) 19:49, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

  • Blocked – for a period of six months. I didn't block the IP for edit warring or for breach of 3RR as they reverted only twice in a 24-hour window. Rather, the block is for a resumption of their disruptive editing after the last block, which was for three months.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:11, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

The "editing war" turns grotesque in my opinion. I think it is due time that you put an end to such destructive attitudes which scare away in disgust any decent editor: already 10x time spent waging editing wars than usefully editing...

Hello, sought to punish this person, because I'm tired of explaining about their issues, all it does is ignore my messages and delete them, which seems to me a lack of respect by the user, the same user if read messages but ignores them. On the issues generated wars and explain my reasons, but he did not seem to care nothing and continue with the same, nor cares to reach consensus. I have placed a complaint here, but I see that so far no decision was taken, and as time passes the user continues to fall in edit wars with me and as I have tried to explain in his discussion but is useless.--
