Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: Failed attempts at consensus on the Talk page

Comments: This entry has been plagued recently by nationalist editors who unilaterally edit and will not discuss the subject (primarily concerning sexuality in the Pashtun belt of Afghanistan and India) or contribute other than deleting material they subjectively disagree with and leaving snide commentary in the edit summary. The page has received temporary semi-protection a few times as a result, and myself and other editors are beginning to suspect sock puppetry based on patterns of behavior.

Comments:

When I noticed the user making the change, I reverted the change, noting that, as per BRD, the user should use the talk page to seek consensus for the drastic alteration to the article. ([14]). The user simply reverted. I put the article back again, noting that the user has misapprehended the policy they were using as defense and stressing the need to use the discussion page and not an edit summary to seek consensus. At that point, i initiated a talk page section about the matter. While I was doing so, the user reverted yet again; their 3rd revert. I took the time to send them a comment to their talk page, advising them to use discussion and stop reverting. The user removed the post less than a minute later. I undid the revert for the third (and my last) time, noting that if they continued to edit-war and avoid discussion, I wasn't going to have any choice but to file an edit-war report.
They reverted less than three minutes later. The user is convinced he is correct and discussion isn't worth his time.
I've done everything I can. I'd ask for one of two resolutions:

1. that the article be reverted back to the previous version and be protected for a week, until AlexTheWhovian understands that edit summaries aren't going to magically create consensus where dissent clearly exists.
2. In the alternative, perhaps a block of AlexTheWhovian is required, to protect the article. The user was warned more than once; they know the potential penalty for continuing to edit-war. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 03:38, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

• Comment #4 (listed above as #4, actually first one chronologically) wasn't actually a revert. There's no overlap in the text that Alex and the IP edited. ― Padenton|✉   04:22, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Yep, it would appear that there were only three reverts, the fourth one being a revert of a much earlier edit. Look, I'm not on a witch hunt here. I brought the matter here because 3RR doesn't necessarily require four reverts, but instead a pattern of disruptive editing. AlexTheWhovian makes a bold edit. When reverted, his next course of action is to head to article discussion, as per

BRD. This did not happen. Instead, the user escalates the matter by reverting three times after that. That sort of behavior destabilizes articles. That is the problem that should be addressed. - Jack Sebastian (talk

The user had previously added a controversial claim; these reverts include reverting another editor's tags regarding the claim, and then reverting my removal of it. So far we have not been able to come to an agreement on the talk page. StAnselm (talk) 04:41, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

On the contrary, I did not add a claim to the article, it was already there and StAnselm removed it and I reverted his removal. He should then have gone to discussion on Talk and let the original version stand. Let me say that I've had a fair amount of interaction with StAnselm and have a great deal of respect for him - I think he's made an honest mistake about what was original. I also think it's time we took this to some form of dispute resolution - perhaps RfC as a first step. I'll leave that to him. PiCo (talk) 06:07, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Yes you did - you added it here. That was one of the first things I checked when I saw the claim had been tagged. StAnselm (talk) 06:20, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

I only added it to the lead, it was already in the body of the article. Anyway, I've now accepted your latest edit-out of the word "fictional" and added a clause more or less quoting Collins' wording (scholarly consensus is that Daniel never existed). Perhaps you can accept that.PiCo (talk) 06:31, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Well, I can't find the word in this revision, for example. When was it removed from the body? But thanks for removing it - the current wording is what I have been arguing for. StAnselm (talk) 07:49, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

It shocks me that a well established editor like this is engaging in petty edit warring over an ITN nomination, but that what is happening.

• I found this behavior somewhat upsetting and certainly inappropriate for ITN/C, but I don't know that there needs to be any sort of disciplinary action beyond maybe a warning. I would have preferred that Medeis recognize that marking the item as "ready" was not a consensus action nor an action that should generally be taken by the nominator. That being said, there was no 3RR violation, which is generally the standard for a temp block. -Kudzu1 (talk) 15:56, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Some discussion at User talk:Clippityclop, however they have called me biased (despite the fact 2 other editors have reverted the same edits), and refuses to listen to the important points, that their edits were unsourced and promotional. Violated 3RR and appears to have no intention of listening to the advice of other editors Joseph2302 (talk) 22:16, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

This is my first visit to add anything to Wikipedia. I added what I thought was good information to the Appaloosa page. It was deleted as promotional so I put it back and wrote a note - not sure if it got to the person who deleted my text or not - that it wasn't promotional. So the next time it was deleted I edited the text TRYING to comply with the complaint and make my additions seem less promotional though I did not view them as such. The third time I did the same thing and added the second registry alternative that is out there for the breed with links to both websites. I've asked repeatedly for what the editor would consider a viable "source" but do not get any productive response. I asked that someone unbiased look at my last edit because it was deleted before enough time had passed to even read it. I am not trying to "war" with anyone. I am trying my best to comply but am not getting anything helpful. In addition in my last 2 edits I only added information to the existing page. AND I made a separate category for registry alternatives and it was still deleted. This information is viable to the breed and a natural progression. People deserve accurate information in my opinion. One final point is that there has never in history been a purebred Appaloosa and so I am asking again WHAT do you guys consider a viable source? Thank you for any help you can provide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clippityclop (talk • contribs) 22:23, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

I tried discussing the issues at your talkpage, but all you did was call me biased- despite the fact that 3 different editors had reverted you. As explained on your talkpage, your edits did not adhere to

reliable sources. I was trying to help, but all you did was say I was wrong, and a biased editor. Joseph2302 (talk

Joseph2302.. I did not see you trying to discuss anything. As I said I changed my edits TRYING to comply but you were simply laying in wait for me to make any change to the page and deleting it. You didn't even read what I wrote. My thoughts were that if you couldn't take the time to even read what I wrote how do you know it is promotional or not? That lead me to assume you were biased because you did not consider my changes at all. The first delete was not of what I added about ICAA but a delete of what I added to the ApHC portion. I did not re-add that. I am not warring with "my version" of anything. I'm attempting to add valuable information and trying to get some help to see what YOU would consider a viable source. I'd appreciate it if what I actually added would be read before summarily dismissing it. That just isn't fair or helpful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clippityclop (talk • contribs) 22:37, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

I also forgot to add that I did not report you to anyone. I simply asked that someone else read the information I added because I assumed from your actions that you were biased. I don't know if you are or not. But I didn't report you. I don't even know how to do that. I wasn't even sure anyone was getting my messages on the talk page. I'm assuming you did since you responded. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clippityclop (talk • contribs) 22:53, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

You shouldn't assume I'm biased, it's called assuming good faith, see

WP:RS for ideas of reliable sources- books, newspaper articles and webpages are the most commonly used sources. Joseph2302 (talk

) 22:55, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

• Declined Joseph, this appears to be a genuinely new user. Even if they're trying to use Wikipedia for promotion, this is not the right noticeboard, because they haven't reverted again after you told them about edit warring and the 3RR. Clippityclop, it's not all about sources; Joseph told you about the kind of prose that's unacceptably promotional, such as "ICAA - International Colored Appaloosa Association, whose interest lies in producing the first purebred within the Appaloosa breed and FAHR - or Foundation Appaloosa Horse Registry" and "The International Colored Appaloosa Associationis the first and only Appaloosa registry created to produce eight generation purebred Appaloosa horses by the only method recognized by animal scientists and geneticists." It does sound like an advert. Please listen better about that kind of thing. As for how to get in touch with Joseph, and any editor of the article, the best way is to post on the article's talkpage and make your points and ask your questions there. And Joseph, it would be good if you had patience with a newbie and explained the things they complain about not understanding (such as how to know who reverted them, or how to get in touch with you), and you also need to use article talk for discussion. It's no use getting all offended because they called you biased. New users tend to do that. Bishonen | talk 23:17, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your advice in reviewing this. I am new but I am not here to promote I am here to add information that is lacking. I think it may better be done under a new page entirely and thereby not stepping on any ApHC follower toes. Again the only reason I assumed you were biased is because you didn't even read my edits. I assumed these comments were in order to help me do a revision that would correct whatever you saw wrong with my additions. Obviously that is not how it works here. You never answered any of my questions so I really wasn't ignoring you. I did not understand what you were talking about. I don't believe I got the quote about WHAT the Icaa registry actually is until after you decided to report me. In either case, I will stop trying to add useful information to the Appalosa page. It's obviously not about Appaloosa but about ApHC. I really don't think that is in keeping with Wikipedia putting out accurate information but obviously I am in the minority here. Thank you again for clarification. I do appreciate it and will try to do better when I next post. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clippityclop (talk • contribs) 00:20, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Stop assuming things that simply aren't true. I did read your edits, and they didn't comply with Wikipedia standards- please stop making assumptions and accusations that aren't true. I read your edits, and applied Wikipedia standards, this doesn't make me biased. Joseph2302 (talk) 00:23, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

You must be a speed reader then because from the time I uploaded the page and searched Appaloosa it was gone and that was less than 30 seconds. You need to stop being offended and look at the events as they transpired. I am not blameless in our miscommunication but you certainly aren't either. Stop being a victim.

Welcome to Wikipedia, Clippityclop. You need to sign your posts on discussion pages — that's every page that's not an article — by typing four tildes (~~~~) which will turn into your signature and a timestamp when you save. I've put a welcome template with tips like that on your page; it's a pity nobody did before. Joseph2302, thanks for your report, but if somebody stops reverting as soon as they're warned about it, they can't be said to be edit warring. No admin is going to sanction them. The discussion here should be over, it's no longer about edit warring. I recommend article talk. Mutual recrimination should stop, too. Bishonen | talk 09:47, 20 May 2015 (UTC).

An IP editwarring to add undue coverage of a minor incident using unreliable sources. Of note, this is a GamerGate-related incident, so remedies from the applicable ArbCom case could also apply. Page protection might also be warranted since I'm sure other gamergaters will come by to try and back this one up, but since I've been discussing and reverting his additions this morning, best that I don't take administrative actions myself. Resolute 14:58, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

From what I've observed, the IP has been ignoring

) 15:45, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

This can be handled with a regular block for edit warring, for instance one week. Though this is a Gamergate issue, the IP has no edits prior to 17 May and seems unlikely to stay around as a regular contributor, at least under this identity. Handing out the usual Gamergate notice might not make much difference. I'd be inclined to semiprotect the article as well for whatever time it is likely that the article might be targeted by editors without a track record who may be interested in Gamergate. EdJohnston (talk) 15:49, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

It seems to me the initial edit to include the 2015 incident was made in good faith an an attempt to report what happened. Reading the talk page, it seems as if the IP did, in fact, attempt to build consensus, however got somewhat incensed when the material was outright removed, in apparent violation of

. The policy implies that material should be discussed prior to being removed if there is a way to improve it.

Of note: The user removing the material also resides in Calgary, which is the location of the Calgary Expo, and it is not inconceivable that they have some form of connection to the Calgary Expo themselves. Scbritton (talk) 15:57, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

• Result: Semiprotected two months. It may be too early to decide if this article should be placed under Gamergate restrictions per
  WP:ARBGG#Remedies. EdJohnston (talk
  ) 04:23, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

GamerGate restrictions might be a little excessive - because the facts of what happened include a GamerGate banner at booth, so a reference to GamerGate is inevitable should something be included. One should note that the accusation that the editing IP is somehow affiliated with GamerGate is unprovable and dubious at best. As mentioned, it does appear to have been a good faith attempt, as carried by the language used in the text of the edits that were made. It is also interesting to note that

) 18:13, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

BRD is Bold (the action of adding the material), Revert (remove it if challenged), Discuss. Not "Discuss and re-revert". A supposedly new editor would not quite be aware of that, which is why I tried to direct them to the talk page and leave article space alone until a discussion concluded. I tried to explain to them how Wikipedia works and what it views as reliable sources, but as they say, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. The semi-protection in this case is warranted, regardless of how much or how little mention you think this deserves. Resolute 20:06, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Except in the tone of what you were writing, your words were quite challenging and possibly interpreted differently than you intended. One could infer as well that, because your profile puts you in Calgary, along with the "geek nature" of the internet itself, that a Calgary-based wikipedia editor actively reverting changes which detail a negative event in the history of a large convention in Calgary has a conflict of interest on your part. Maybe there is, maybe there isn't, it can't be proved either way, but that's how it could be perceived, just like you suggested the IP was a "GamerGater".Scbritton (talk) 12:52, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: Talk:British_Pakistanis#Kashmir_or_Azad_Kashmir

Comments: User has a notorious record of 3RR, and has been blocked multiple times for violations in the past 2 months, including 2 articles where I was personally involved. Unfortunately, Human3015 has clearly not learnt anything from those past experiences and is pursuing the same old confrontational policy of first following me to this article (I have a list of about a dozen other articles Human3015 followed me to in the recent past, having never previously edited them) and then engaging in meaningless edit wars. Please note that I am one of the top contributors of the article concerned, and I already explained why the simple terminology Kashmir is used in the article (to reflect consistency with sources and academic works on the subject). So far, one other user (Faizan) also reverted the changes put in by Human3015, while another admin also agrees with the viewpoint on the article talk page. Human3015 has 3 reverts in the article within a short period of time, in addition to a mysterious Indian IP who added his changes back in. I am certain that this IP was Human3015, as no other editor was present there at that time. Sadly, given Human3015's past record of 3RR violations, this rings alarm bells and I cannot assume much good faith here, as it seems the IP edit was made by Human3015 while logged out in order to ditch the 3RR window, which is a form of gaming the system. I'd like an admin to confirm the identity of the IP and assess whether there should be any action for the 4 reverts. Mar4d (talk) 17:38, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

• Mar4d, why you are showing IP's revert? I have done just 3 reverts that to in more than 24 hours, you have done 3 reverts within 24 hours. If we consider Faizan as your another account(as you are considering that IP as me) then you have done 4 reverts in 24 hours. And even after my repeated requests you never came to talk page to discuss this matter on British Pakistanis. You should discuss article related matter on talk page instead on such board.
• And about my history of block, you can see I was unblocked within 1 hour on my first block because I was done only 2 reverts and I was wrongly blocked. In other 2 blocks(in both of them Ma4d was involved) I was new and old users took advantage of it by making group and I broke 3 RR that time.
• My last comment regarding this case is, I have done 3 reverts in more than 24 hour period. --Human3015 Say Hey!! • 17:56, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

1) If you want to put allegations of sockpuppetry, go to

WP:SPI; 2) An IP, that too from India (the article has no recent edits from such IPs) comes in to revert your favoured version, I don't think it can get any more obvious; add your three reverts, and bingo, 3 + 1 = 4; 3) You clearly know which articles you were blocked in recently for 3RR; 4) Your impatience and refusal to discuss is an issue. You barged into an article where you had no previous edit history, and changed text/terminology that has been like the way it is for years. You did not even wait to hear for a response, let alone consensus, from the involved editors, and yet reverted two different users up to four times, while a third one also disagrees. Seems blatant to me. Mar4d (talk

) 18:12, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Uninvolved editor: I see Human3015 opening a talk discussion [68] and Mar4d not responding. What possible objection can he have to a genuine effort to disambiguate? The name of the province involved is clearly Azad Kashmir. Kautilya3 (talk) 18:03, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

You are wrong, I have already stated my reply. And btw I have written large sections of that article, while none of you two appear to have any edit history there. So please do not attempt to give the false impression as if I am uninvolved. Thanks, Mar4d (talk) 18:12, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

• If one sees my first three comments on talk page of British Pakistanis it shows date 19th May and 20th May, and in that long time instead of using talk page Mar4d was busy in reverting edits.--Human3015 Say Hey!! • 18:36, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

You are the one who made the undiscussed changes to the article. As the editor making changes to a longstanding article, the onus is on you to get consensus first for the changes you made. If you think you will simply be able to jump into an article and impose your views, you are under the wrong impression. Mar4d (talk) 18:46, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Mar4d, If you are editing that article since long time then does it makes you owner of that article? You should read Wikipedia policies, there is no difference in you and me regarding rights of editing any article. You didn't came to talk page for discussion and you engaged in edit war. --Human3015 Say Hey!! • 18:58, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Because you are the one questioning the reliability of the source and you want an independent assessment of whether the source is suitable. The other editor isn't going to make a request because they are happy with the quality of the source.

You misunderstand - it isn't a rule or guideline, it's about the way things work at WP.

• No one can accuse me of being a fan of RGloucester, but there's no case to answer for here. Not only is Gloucester nowhere near violating 3RR, as they have only reverted once in the last 24 hours, the person behind this IP has been pushing the change since the end of April, and has been reverted by both User:Cambalachero and RGloucester. In my opinion, this essay should be semi-protected, as this IP user has no business mucking around with it. For what it's worth, the IP's changes consist of adding a refimprove tag in, which is obviously inappropriate as this is not an article (something that was pointed out ages ago) and changing content without attempting to gain consensus (although the ref used does appear to support the claim) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 10:14, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, TheRedPenOfDoom. Also, the way I divided the edits above as "rounds" is not based on anything. It's just there were so many diff-links to list and I spaced them so as to not lose track of any of them and accidentally repeat one of them (or make some other mistake with them). Then I decided it looked cleaner by being spaced and titled.

A lot of this was that I was unfamiliar with how to appropriately address this issue. Though I have made a number of contributions to Wikipedia articles, I am not deeply experienced in the policies and procedures when it comes to stuff like this. I have established a precedent of writing biographies of Florida legislators, so this back-and-forth was confusing to me. It doesn't make sense for an article about an elected official to not have any mention of elections. I have done my best to rewrite the sections to be as neutral as possible, but it doesn't seem as though the user is interested in negotiating, as everything has been reverted. Even simple changes, like successors and predecessors, were continually reverted, even though they follow the established protocol of other pages. I am glad that someone else stepped in, I will gladly abide by whatever decision is made, and if there is policy that I can be made aware of for the future, I welcome that as well..

I'd say User:YF&B76 has repeatedly been removing well-sourced content, at times with deceptive edit summaries such as "(WP:YESPOV) Rather than deleting material, I have modified biased leaning language". Now YF&B76 had a point in that the language was at times more flowery than it should have been, but wholesale removal of sourced content is not the answer, and neither is edit-warring. Even accepting that YF&B76 is acting in good faith, this is getting disruptive, and YF&B76 should start discussing his concerns on the article talk page instead of removing the good with the bad. Huon (talk) 11:21, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

Since User:YF&B76 hasn't edited since 22 April a block wouldn't make much sense. Perhaps a warning to both parties. Neither of these two editors has ever used the talk page.

However, in each instance, the user Redfoxjump reverted my edit despite the academic sourcing I had provided. The only reason I haven't reverted his/her most recent edits is because I know that Redfoxjump will simply repeat the pattern of behavior already exhibited, and I don't want to escalate the situation into a pointless reverting/edit war. Additionally, Redfoxjump attempted to add his/her own POV addition to the article on the illogical basis that it was only "fair" that they got to add a sentence if I added one. I have included the diffs of this here.

Comments:

This dispute ranges wider but the core problem is the IP who keeps on screaming in his edit summary that this event section (WWE Global Warning) was shown on pay per view and he saw it in Vietnam. His only note is to give a non inline reference to Vietnam pay TV as well as use sources that I introduced originally as back up. OldSkool01 has been reverting him the most, referencing what he states are better and more reliable sources (although as a side note he did manipulate one and as good as admits it on the talk page of the article in question). I'm not touching that section of the core article until this is properly resolved and the IP has to be blocked to start with as it isn't helping in the debate between myself and OldSkool01. It would help - if the admin is prepared to - if said admin could pop a third opinion on the manipulation problem, but I'll understand if that has to be set aside and mentioned elsewhere.

User being reported: AnulBanul (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

User:AnulBanul has been edit-warring with several wikipedia users on multiple articles, including with me.

On Posavina Canton, he/she moved the Bosnian language translation behind the Croatian and Serbian translation in the intro. The country is called BOSNIA and Herzegovina, not Serbia or Croatia. If Croatian and Serbian translations are necessary, I would think they would follow the BOSNIAN translation, since that is the country after all. I reverted his/her edit, only to have him-her revert me with "Nope.." as the explanation for the reversal. I reverted that and wrote ""Nope" is no where near a decent explanation for this POV mess you're trying to create all over wikipedia", in reference to the constant edit wars and edits that this user makes, which are often reverted by several users. The user reverted me again, claiming that Bosnia is merely a "Region" and not a country. On my talk page, the user posted this: "Bosnian translation goes first because Bosnia and Herzegovina is a country? What kind of logic is that? Bosnia and Herzegovina doesn't have official languages, even if it does, Bosnian still wouldn't be numero uno. :D" (He-She added a cute little smiley face at the end of the post for no reason. Bosnia-Herzegovina DOES, in fact, have official languages, contrary to User:AnulBanul's uneducated claim.

On West Herzegovina Canton (which the user has an obsession with, I'm assuming he-she lives/lived there), the edit history is self-explanatory.

On Sokollu Mehmed Pasha, I reverted some users attempts to Serbianze a 16th century Bosnian man. User:AnulBanul reverted me, claiming that the Bosnian language didn't exist in the 1500s, but that Serbo-Croatian did, it just wasn't called Serbo-Croatian. ?????????? Bosnian and Serbo-Croatian is literally the same language. How does AnulBanul think this is logical to say that Bosnian didn't exist back then in any shape or form, but Serbo-Croatian did. EXCUSE ME??!? I reverted that and wrote "It's interesting that you makes excuses for the Serbo-Croatian "language"'s existence but Bosnian didn't exist; I never denied that the Serbian Orthodox existed, I said that there is no proof that he was part of that specific denomination." The user reverted me and wrote the very mature and professional summary "what the hell was he?! A Chinese Orthodox?".--Dragodol (talk) 05:28, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

The country is Bosnia and Herzegovina, however, Bosnian language is one spoken by Bosniaks - Bosniam Muslims, and it is not an official language, since Bosnia and Herzegovina doesn't have official languages. Moreover, Croats and Serbs have equal status to Bosniaks in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and all three languages are equal in that sense. Moreover, we're talking only about three different standardisations of one Serbo-Croatian language. Croats make majority in Posavina Canton, and are followed by Serbs, and then Bosnian Muslims/Bosniaks. Your interpretation on language order is hardly acceptable and against customs, which can be confirmed by other users. Regardless, I have been careful not to violate the 3RR rule and explained my reverts where necessary. In this case, I believe the explanation was hardly necessary, especially after silly explanation that Bosnia is a country, and that's the reason why Bosnian language should come first. It's just stupid, sorry.

Nobody tried to "serbianize" a 16th century Ottoman man. But, it is important to note that he made his brother - Makarije Sokolović, the Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church and reestablished it. You may say he was an alien, it's your opinion. Mehmed-pasha had a South Slavic, Serbian origin. Bosnian language is a late 20th century political innovation, Serbo-Croatian however, did exist, but its name was coined only later after national identities have been shaped in 19th century. Moreover, it is actually you who started reverting edits, and not me. --AnulBanul (talk) 07:09, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

Comment: When people start revert warring about the order of languages in the article lead we can interpret this as nationalist edit warring. Both AnulBanul and Dragodol have been alerted about

WP:ARBMAC, and both were warned in April for edit warring here at this board. (Dragodol used to be Sabahudin9). I propose a three-month topic ban for both editors from everything to do with Bosnia and Herzegovina. EdJohnston (talk

) 05:18, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

It is a common practice to add languages of geographical/political territories based on percentage of certain population living there. There's nothing nationalist about that. However, user Dragodol got an idea that Bosnian should be mentioned everywhere first (!), because Bosnia and Herzegovina is a country. What does that even mean? Bosnia and Herzegovina is a sui generis country, with no official language, with three "constituent peoples" treated as equal - Bosniaks speak Bosnian, Croats Croatian and Serbs speak Serbian standard of one language, and all three languages or standards have equal status. What other solution could I have then to add languages in order based on the number of certain ethnic group living there, as these versions will be more common than those used by minority groups, therefore, it is only logical to add more common versions first, and others later. Regardless, I edited those few pages, expanded them etc, and there comes Dragodol with crazy idea of his that Bosnian should come first everywhere because Bosnia is a country... what is that? --AnulBanul (talk) 14:04, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

It seems that the diffs above that were reversions by User:Lightinlondon were in fact him/her reverting a blatant BLP issue. I have corrected the BLP issue for now, and have opened a talk page section regarding the information that is contentious about a living person. It is my understanding that when reverting BLP issues, they do not always count in a 3RR situation.

The user in question needs to be told to discuss and reach consensus. This does look more like one-sided edit warring against consensus, now that I see it. The editor is trying to make some points, and some of them may (or may not. No judgement on that) be valid, but they clearly need to discuss rather than edit war.

• Comments and diffs A content dispute was the bulk of the edits and reverts yesterday -- discussion followed here: [172]. A compromise was agreed upon, and all was well (see here: [173]). Not to mention there have been a butt-load of edits since the content dispute which were great, didn't involve me at all, and have remained since they were executed (see history of edits here [174] and here [175]). Today's edits reverted by me were explained succinctly in the edit summary -- all were based on policy or due to errors in the content added/removed. I don't really see what the problem is. Especially considering the response I received from JackTheVicar here in the edit summary [176] and here at the article talk page [177]; I responded thusly [178]; he responded in this manner [179] and then like this at his talk page [180] "get off my talk page you obsessive article-owning harassing weirdo. do not post here again". JTV edited boldly, I reverted for reasons stated in my edit summaries, he refused to discuss, Indeed, he chose to personally attack me at the article talk page as well as in the section title. At this time, even after I attempted to get him to discuss his concerns, he has further responded negatively and in a non-cooperative manner, never discussing the article content at all [181]. Just more personal attacks.

I do wonder why Calidum now finds it necessary to dog my edits and add warning templates on my talk page at the first possible opportunity he finds in regard to articles he's neither involved in nor has he ever edited. When he is not bringing me here to this noticeboard he's bringing me to AN where nothing comes of it. Why? Because he's concerned about disruption or he really wants to see me sanctioned/blocked in a bad way? In other words, what's the motivation? -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 04:16, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

Edit warring is repeated reverts on the same content, not frequent reverts. If there is any of that here, it's lost among the rest and it would help to clean up the complaint. One could allege an ownership problem, but I don't see a case for that. I haven't looked very deep into it, but what I've seen looks like someone who disagrees with a lot of edits, and reverts them per routine BRD, but is willing to follow the rest of BRD to resolve the disagreements. Nothing wrong with that. In any case, this is not the venue for ownership complaints. ―Mandruss ☎ 05:17, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

Ok, I had forgotten about the "whether involving the same or different material", possibly because it makes no sense. I have probably exceeded 3RR myself a dozen or so times, then, without knowing it, and in the process of doing solid, good-faith editing work. BRD works fine when followed, no matter how many times a day you follow it. But I'll bow out and leave this to others, as the letter of policy appears to be against me. ―Mandruss ☎ 05:35, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

Feel free to provide diff's where I've ever reverted or edited anything using the edit summary or reasoning,"I don't like it". Further, you chose to not discuss when BRD was cited, rather, your response was personal attacks and insults. That's solely on you. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 19:46, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

• I chose not to discuss because my previous discussion with you was fruitless. Discussing anything with you would be a ridiculous waste of my time and patience and would not be productive or constructive. If there was an opportunity for a constructive dialogue that would improve the article, I'd gladly engage. But I fear that even if I did waste time discussing with you, maybe even meeting an agreement after wasting two chapters worth of words to change a phrase, you'd still revert any effort I made under the claim of BRD and we'd be back in another fruitless discussion. BRD is only a tool for you; a justification and self-justification for your ownership behavior, and you wield it as a club to drive other editors away from engaging with an article that you defend/own. I am not under any obligation to volunteer any more of my time on Wikipedia just so you can try to obtain validation or legitimacy for your ownership behavior under the façade of "discussion". Sorry, but I don't have the inclination to indulge you or combat your obsessive obstruction and your ownership mentality. I consider your ownership behavior the problem, and the reverting just a symptom of it. Therefore, I withdraw from a wasteful fight. Calling you out for ownership behavior is not a personal attack--even if posited cynically because of the frustration of dealing with you. The fact that another user brought you here with edits where you alone are reverting other users' contributions is indicative that there is a problem with your behavior.

It seems you are not only uninterested in discussing per BRD but you are also unable to provide diffs to support your claims and accusations? -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 20:40, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

Yes, because there is nothing to be gained or accomplished by discussing anything with you. Some people you cannot reason with. Can't reason with someone who feels they have the power to exercise wholesale reversions of several users' constructive efforts to improve the article with no valid reason except "per MOS" (with little or no explanation) or "per BRD" (as an empty self-justification). Can't reason with someone when it takes 5,000 words to get 4 words added to an article because you reverted them several times (ref: taxi) and you refuse to acknowledge or respect that other people have differing opinions (you called mine "ridiculous" and "silliness"). Your ownership behavior and your comments in our previous discussion indicate to me you simply don't like it when someone disagrees with how you see things. The pattern is clear...several users edited the article, added, moved things around, etc., worked with the edits and efforts of those working on the article before or at the same time. You, and you alone, reverted them wholesale with vague "per MOS" or "per BRD" rationales, but the subtext is overtly one of "i don't like it". There are several users work you reverted. several. that's not one user having a problem with you or disagreeing or refusing to discuss...it is several users having a problem with you. How many of them did you chase away from the article with your ownership behavior.

I believe it is worth noting that in the midst of the TLDR wall-o-text above laden with non-agf commentary, mocking of guidelines/policy, and pall of theersonal attacks, JTV still has not provided diffs to support his claims and accusations. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 22:48, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

• Note I'm not taking any action; nor am I closing this report.
  WP:3RR. That said, when there is a lot of activity on a breaking event, it is common for editors to breach 3RR technically without violating the spirit of the policy. In Winkelvi's case, my belief is he violated both the letter and the spirit. However, my recommendation would be a warning, principally because he wasn't warned of the problem until after the 6th revert. Normally, a regular shouldn't need a warning, but, again, this is a breaking event, and experienced editors can lose track. As for the 7th revert, which came after the warning, the edit deserved to be reverted content-wise. Normally, that would not be a justification, and Winkelvi could have left it for someone else, but ... I'll let another administrator decide what they think is most appropriate given all the circumstances.--Bbb23 (talk
  ) 23:36, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

Bbb23, I wish you would be a lot more AGF when it comes to me. When have you ever seen me intentionally violate a policy? (which is what I believe you mean when you say that I broke the "spirit" of 3RR). Losing track doesn't even apply because when I'm editing for content and quality's sake, not trying to undo anyone's edits with the intent of reverting them, just putting the article and its content in appropriate order -- it's only about making sure the article is the best it can be at the moment. Noting how many edits by other editors I never did anything with should tell you the obvious: my editing is in favor of the article and the encyclopedia, not me and not any untoward agenda. All that in mind, I just don't see how any of my edits at the article could be considered disruptive (which is what truly breaking 3RR is "in spirit"). I have asked for editors to be aware of BRD when appropriate - some have, some haven't. Those that haven't -- how is that on me "in spirit"? I have started discussions. Some have participated, some haven't. Again, when I make the attempt, am I truly being disruptive? I don't see how any of those edits can be considered such. Even when called names and disparaged by a particular editor who has commented here, I kept my cool and reminded them of BRD and making constructive comments. They declined (and are still doing so, if you look at the article talk page).

All that in mind, I will keep away from editing the article for the next 24 hours as an act of good faith. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 00:13, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

• "I'm only doing it because it's good for the encyclopedia"....they all say that, or convince themselves that. I dont believe youre that blind to some of ypur behavior. Several editors took issue with it now. Do you see it if you rephrased as "I'm only owning the article because I think it's best" or "I'm driving away other contributors by my obstructionist behavior because I think it's best."?? Because thats the result of the behavior you displayed. Take a week off the article, let other editors take their swipes. The article will still be there, hopefully improved, and without ownership drama.

• In the last days I have been advised twice by IP:
  WP:BRD I reverted him, asking him on the article's edit summary for reliable sources, but he wrote the following comment on my talk page ([186]). I reverted him again asking another time for sources ([187]), and he answered in this way ([188]) commenting below yesterday`s request for help of the IP. In the meantime, I had searched on the eurostat web site until I found a source which shows that he is wrong. I invited him on his talk page to check the source([189]) but, instead of discussing, he reverted the article again with the following comment ([190]), where he pretends that he does not need sources, because this fact is "well known". In the last few months is not the first time that I meet this user, and each time he is editing disruptively, changing arbitrarily content regarding Italy, disregarding sources and accusing others of nationalism (it is funny to notice that some days ago I have been accused by another Italian user of being a "traitor of my homeland" :-)). I think that if he continues in this way a topic ban would be appropriate. Thank you, Alex2006 (talk

• Blocked – for a period of 31 hours. Alex2006, the user has broken the 3RR rule, but I don't like to block him for that, since you were edit warring too, just as much, really; he simply got to four reverts sooner because he started it. And you too have not used the article talkpage. Another time, I advise you to post on article talk (discussion via edit summaries is discouraged), warn sooner, report sooner, and revert less. You don't have to wait for a user to violate 3RR before reporting; if it's obvious that they intend to continue reverting, admins will be interested. Anyway, in view of the respective posts on your userpages, and the lack of edit summaries from Kristijan Đorđević, I have blocked him for disruptive editing.

User:Ahunt has been edit-warring with one or more wikipedia users on the cited article above.

He has started [192] firstly reverting an important content concerning the opinion supporting "GNU/Linux" term of a well-known person (Jimmy Wales) under a reason that the reference wasn't reliable and that "It is also seven years old". The reference was updated by an ip user to refer to the diff [193] made by the official Jimmy Wales' wikipedia account: to make sure that the info was reliable enough: but

was using the "the GNU operating system" term from 1983, without keeping the content related to the Jimmy Wales' opinion.

Such POV-pushing against "GNU/Linux" can be seen in several contributions the editor made like [194], [195], [196], and [197].

As can be seen in the edit history for this page the various IP addresses (which all trace to the same ISP) have been consistently removing cited text, while adding their own text cited to Wikipedia talk pages as refs. I have consistently reverted their deletion of the cited text as vandalism, while we have been carrying on a talk page discussion about the inclusion of quotes sourced to self-published sources. So far the consensus there is as per Wikipedia policy, that is it not acceptable. - Ahunt (talk) 13:36, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

(Note: BMK's self revert took place after edit 3 listed above and before the fourth edit listed above triggered the violation and is not listed in the sequence of reverts). He expressed the same awareness of the edit warring violation "I'm backing away from the article for the moment, as I've clearly lost perspective: I broke 3RR but then immediately self-reverted." in this edit, but this comment was made *AFTER* he had made the fourth revert (with the self-revert excluded).

Comments: User:Beyond My Ken has been blocked on four separate occasions for 3RR / edit warring violations, most recently in March 2015, a mere two months ago (per his block log).

Alansohn (talk) 21:06, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

• I had a long response here, but accidentally lost it, so here's the short version: look at the article's history, the number of reverts and who made them, look at Richard Arthur Norton's behavior on the talk page (failure to recognize BRD or wait for a consensus), look at his uploading an obviously non-free image to Commons to get around his restriction on uploading images here, look at Bbb23's and HJ Mitchell's talk pages for my attempt to head this off before it became a problem. Now, take a look at the history of the Alansohn/Magnolia677 conflict as reported on AN/I, including my strong suggestion (at least at one point) that Alan be sanctioned; now look at the history of IP and open proxy vandalism on my talk and userspace pages (which had to be protected for a week), and then at the the no-so-coincidental filing of this report almost immediately after I took strong issue with one of those vandals here. Now, put the pieces together, and the story tells itself. BMK (talk) 21:37, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

No violation BMK self-reverted, so by the spirit of the law he has not violated 3RR. He is also trying to get a balance on the talk page and ensure the article remains as factually correct as possible. I'm sure there is some irony in me calling "no action" given the content of the article (which I assume everyone here has read thoroughly, right?) and the emphasis of standing around thinking "I don't want to do anything with this" being unhelpful, but there you go.

WP:3RR

, whether you count five reverts or "only" four in a 24-hour period. 14:38, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

I think you're missing the point somewhat. Just

punishment, which is not the way we should work. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)}

14:45, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

As long as you toss in an apology, you can keep on violating WP:3RR? What's worse here is that BMK "apologized" for his self-revert and then kept on edit warring, presumably showing that his apology was anything but sincere. BMK's rambling screed above, blaming everyone but himself and making a series of paranoiac bad faith accusations provides further evidence that this problem is far from resolved and that no lesson has been learned. And this isn't a first-time violator; he has been caught with his pants down and blocked on four separate occasions for edit warring, most recently in March of this year. Take a look at

WP:3RR, which makes it clear that a fourth revert passes a red line, stating "There is a bright line known as the three-revert rule (3RR). A revert means undoing the actions of other editors. The 3RR says an editor must not perform more than three reverts, in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material, on a single page within a 24-hour period." Your interpretation turns 3RR into a meaningless document, simply for the purpose of letting a four-time violator -- only counting those where he has been caught and punished -- get away yet one more time with a blatant violation of policy. Alansohn (talk

You need to spend more time reading the enyclopedia's articles, particularly

excellent ones, and less time worrying about who did what to who, where, and when. I think we're done. Have a nice day. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)}

Can make the same claims towards User:HughD. This is information that does not belong on the page. And you are edit-warring just as much as I am. Please stop viewing my activity as hostile. Wikipedia is not a place you get to push your opinions again and again and never consider the input of other editors. The information in question is not directly related to the article subject. Hugh, its difficult to continue assuming good faith when you are this hostile and dont let anyone else edit the page. I support my decision to remove this info because of WP:BOLD.

• (Non-administrator comment) I've been following watching this dispute the last few days. Both editors are correct regarding the other's conduct. Dalton has indeed been edit warring, not a technical 3RR violation and Hugh's "warning" was before the offending edits began so it might not have been sufficient, but edit warring nonetheless. Hugh indeed has major
  battleground problems that have disrupted progress in a number of articles and probably warrant broader community attention. Please ping me if you respond as I am not watching this page. --Dr. Fleischman (talk

This is ludicrous! You are a part of this dispute as well and you have attempted to remove any mention of your involvement from your talk page. You are not going to take down any mention of your wrongdoing and then attempt to drag my name through the mud. Your removal of those talk page issues does not make you seem like you are acting in good faith. Perhaps you should re-familiarize yourself with

WP:OWNTALK. Generally its best to archive. But more importantly, its suspicious that you cherry-picked which discussions to remove; the only ones noting you are involved in an edit war during your accusations of me edit-warring. hmmmmm.. I must protest your actions and your accusations that I "retaliated". If you want me to remain civil and assuming good faith, please treat better with me. DaltonCastle (talk

Frustrating.

This editor has stopped just short of 4 reverts, but is edit warring. He is repeatedly overriding my contributions, rather than trying to resolve the disagreement through discussion. Despite my efforts to engage him in discussion.

I've tried to engage the editor in meaningful discussion a number of times, on his talkpage, on the article talkpage, and in my edit summaries. I've received nothing helpful in response. The best has been along the lines of "I disagree". Followed by a series of reverts.

Sometimes -- a problem that has plagued many of this editor's edits (he doesn't seem to care, as he has been spoken to about it a number of times in the last 10 months, by at least 4 different editors), he doesn't at times leave an edit summary. As in his reverts 1 and 4, above. Epeefleche (talk) 08:00, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

I'm noting other issues as well. This comment looks like trolling in response to your completely valid and universally accepted admonishment that inline links should not be deleted because they are helpful, the editor wrote, "No, they're not." This comes a few months after I encountered them inexplicably removing a reference from an unreleased film article. The editor never replied to my query about that. Their response of "That sucks" in response to yet another explanation that edit summaries are crucial leads me to wonder if they ever read up on any of the other notices about this, or if they understand that this is a community project, not a solo venture. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:35, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I have noticed similar problems -- though they go beyond this board. An example -- the inexplicable removal of a pertinent fact, and then ... in talk page discussion ... denying his removal, though the diff clearly evidenced it. See here. Not in keeping with the rebut-able AgF we start out with. And perhaps that is pertinent to this board. Frustrating. Epeefleche (talk) 16:43, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
