The four reverts occurred during a period over more than 24 hours, but I do nonetheless apologize for it. I immediately recognized my mistake and completed a self revert. AcidSnow (talk) 22:55, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- Can we assume discussion is now underway and edit warring has ceased? I'd rather not have to block anyone. --Laser brain (talk) 01:12, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- The user has created a 3RR case in order to divert attention towards me. See my response to the alligations below in that case. The problem with the user is that this has been going on for a while now. The user AcidSnow has reverted my changes twice in another article within hours [18],[19]. Making it adding up to total 6 reverts within 24 hours. Therefore I think it would be appropriate in blocking the user with regard to the breach of the 3RR and overall behaviour. This a clear breach of the 3RR. Richard0048 (talk) 01:05, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- I am not diverting attention from myself as there would be no point in doing so since you have no case. Anyways, I do apologize and I have completed a self-revert on the article, as such I haven't broken 3RR per here: WP:3RRNO. Not only that, but the five (not six since one is actually removed through a self-revert which I also apologized for) reverts are on separate articles and occurred over a period of more than 24 hours. These reverts have also received support from multiple users. You, on the other hand, have not received any support for your changes on both articles, yet insist that you have (see here: [20]). By the way Laser brain, I am sure if spoke with any of the other users involved in this dispute that you'll get a strikingly different depiction of me. If you believe that's it's best for both parties to drop their reports, then let it be so. Please also see my statements below. AcidSnow (talk) 01:56, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- Again this is about the incident of you breaching the 3RR. Regarding the dispute where you broke the 3RR, you did not dicuss why you reverted at first and there were only us two involved. In regard to the other dispute and article I created a case in the dispute resolutionboard and searched for outside opinions. You on the other hand might have been engaging in tag-team editing. Ofcourse the person who agrees with you wont say anything bad about you, leave that up to admins or impartial users. Richard0048 (talk) 02:30, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- I stated from the very beginning that "they are" in Eastern Africa (Egypt and Sudan). All these false accusations don't hurt me, but rather backfire on you, so kindly stop. Anyways, I have already shown you that I haven't broken 3RR (please above), so you have no case. There are other users that disagree with your definition of "East/ern Africa" (see here: Talk:Eritrea#Content_dispute) so don't claim that it's "only us two". As for your character assassination of Soupforone and the other users, it was highly uncalled for since they have done nothing wrong. AcidSnow (talk) 03:00, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Comments:
Although Richard0048 has not broken 3RR, they have yet to receive any support for their changes and are edit warring on both articles. Oddly enough, the user insist that he has received support. This user also has along standing issue in accepting consensus as shown in his prior reverts from throughout the month of July. They were previously blocked on 18 July by admin SilkTork for this exact reason. They also choose to forgo SilkTorks advice when told not make any edits before they received support. AcidSnow (talk) 23:38, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- I suggested that AcidSnow behaviour be looked upon, with regard to AcidSnow breaking the 3RR. This can be observed in the section above where I have created a case above and explained the breach of the 3RR by AcidSnow according to instructions for this template [22]. This is the users respons in diverting the attention towards me. Regarding the accusation I have in both articles engaged in discussion [23],[24], I have taken instructions from mentioned admin which can be seen in on the talk page[25], and also opened up a case in the dispute resolution noticeboard [26] where user AcidSnow has not been engaged in ( besides agreeing to what another user has written). I have also asked for outside opinions from a user [27] and a admin [28] in relation to the dispute AcidSnow is referring to, that has been going in for a month. In that period of time the user AcidSnow has been engaged in reverting my edits without discussing the reverting. In the second article the user AcidSnow has reverted changes twice within hours [29],[30]. Making it adding up to total 6 reverts within 24 hours. Richard0048 (talk) 01:05, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- I have discussed all my reverts (please see the respective talk pages: WP:FORUMSHOPING since it's exactly what you have been doing for over a month. These discussions have been ongoing for quiet sometime Laser brain; it's just that Richard0048 has refused to accept consensus and was previously blocked by an admin for it (see here: [32]). AcidSnow (talk) 01:31, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- I have discussed all my reverts (please see the respective talk pages:
Richard, as AcidSnow correctly points out, SilkTork already asked you politely to desist with the personal attacks. He also indeed clearly instructed you to confine your editing to the talk page [33], which you have been reluctant to do. Please at least try and respect the website policy. Soupforone (talk) 03:06, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- Result: Warned. A review of Talk:Eritrea suggests that User:Richard0048's efforts toward consensus leave much to be desired. He was already blocked once for 24 hours by User:SilkTork for edit warring. Nonetheless Richard0048 has opened a discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard#Talk:Eritrea, which is a good idea. Richard0048 is warned he may be blocked if he makes any further reverts at Eritrea without getting a prior consensus either at Talk:Eritrea or at DRN. EdJohnston (talk) 03:26, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- Given the information I provided EdJohnston should consider in warning the other part aswell, that type of behaviour should not be overlooked. I have engaged in discussion as you mentioned. AcidSnow should also be encouraged to discuss instead of just disagreeing with my edits. User soupforone and AcisSnow should stop the possible tag-teaming. Bad behaviour should not be supported. .Richard0048 (talk) 09:33, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
Richard, SilkTork specifically instructed you to desist from personal attacks and confine your editing to the talk page, neither of which you did. And that's after he had already blocked you and given you a second chance. So don't blame myself, AcidSnow or EdJohnston for taking umbrage at that. Soupforone (talk) 15:42, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- Although I have done nothing wrong, we can't say the same about you (see the replies above). Plus I have been involved in all these discussions, so once again kindly stop with these false accusations. Unless you have any supporting diffs for your claims of "tag-teaming", it's best that you drop it. Anyways, this discussion has already been closed, so please wait for the Archive Bot to move it. I do hope to see you at Talk:Eritrea as well. AcidSnow (talk) 16:08, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

I haven't discussed this on the article Talk page, but I have tried to engage with this editor several times on their own Talk page to no avail. By way of background, the editor appears to have taken exception at my removal of mentions of non-notable companies from this article, one of which was Axibase. An article on Axibase was CSD'd by me previously and removed by an admin. In response, this editor is now trying to remove all the edits they made previously to this article.
No violation – there must be four or more reverts within a 24 hour period for the 3-Revert Rule to apply; the links you have provided do not meet these criteria. — Coffee // have a cup // beans// 21:12, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

As the main editor involved here, I would like to state that this is an Indian IP, so a general understanding of enwiki and its policies are unlikely at this point in time. I mean, come on. It's just getting stupid at this point...TJH2018talk 02:50, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
- Please note that user TJH2018 is repeatedly adding trivia, of which the bulk is unreferenced. They have also made personal attacks & abuse, see [49] & [50]. And as you can see above is now making anti-Indian comments. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.116.182.59 (talk) 02:54, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
- I do not believe that Indian IPs come with a stamp in their Wikipassport that acknowledges they don't know the rules. I might add that it takes two to edit-war, and that the content removed by the IP was indeed chatty, unverified, promotional, etc. I don't know which one of these two should be blocked by the next passing admin, but I do know that the one is not necessarily worse than the other for being an Indian IP. Drmies (talk) 03:02, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
- Both editors blocked – for a period of 24 hours Both parties were enthusiastically edit warring, with TJH2018 aggravating the problem by assuming that Indian IPs don't deserve the same consideration as everybody else. Acroterion (talk) 03:14, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

I have tried to contact and settle the issue with the user on his/her talk page, but he/she has not responded to the requests. Rather he/she has used unprofessional language to revert my edits. (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AVaza12&type=revision&diff=732641334&oldid=732619435). Note how he uses a flowery language (without any links) to push a possible POV agenda:
"
Prophet Muhammad as the primary perfect man who exemplifies the morality of God. Sufism is regarded as the individual internalization and intensification of the Islamic faith and practice. The Sufis played a vital role in developing Bengali Muslim society during the medieval period.". Frankly this is too much jargon for one editor to manage.See more at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bengali_Muslims&type=revision&diff=732957015&oldid=732942593
His/her previous mass removal of content has disturbed the structure of the article. In my opinion, he/she should be blocked from further edits for at least 3 months if not a year.Messiaindarain (talk) 05:25, 6 August 2016 (UTC) -->

He is putting a false claim on Wikipedia. This is the false claim: The city is divided into two zones, where the main portion forms part of Galmudug state, the Suusacley (Israac) district is governed by the Puntland administration.[1][2]
The source he provided was checked and it did not contain his claim. He is putting false information on Wikipedia.

The articleroutine, and "over-hyped" events. Hariboneagle927 keeps on reverting Yaysmay15's edits, but one reverted, he reverts them again. Hariboneagle927 even warned him on this diff, but still continued to come back reverting his removals, as in this diff.Yaysmay15 has also other edit-warring cases, mostly on years in the Philippines articles, like 2014 in the Philippines articles. But no one reported that user for edit-warring with other users on those articles.-TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 14:36, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
- I attest to this. I've been warning the user and asked the user to explain his edits but did not listen to such request after all or don't even bother to comment in anyway where I could have any hint on their position on their edits. I can only guess why they keep on insisting on reverting problematic edits, that they want to include any widely-covered events nationally (in the Philippines), no matter how it is WP:ROUTINE or overhyped silly season (such as the case of the "mystery death" of Nicole Ella during the New Year's Eve; which is caused by a stray bullet and its not uncommon to have stray-bullet deaths in the country during this period.)Hariboneagle927 (talk) 16:42, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

HyeSK is a single-purpose user. His response to my calls to discuss the matter in the talk page was: "I will be reverting them back". He should be blocked for edit-warring. His editing is simply disruptive. --Երևանցի talk 08:36, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
I am not at all a single purpose user. I am here to put in place the truth and to improve Wikipedia. One of those improvements involves providing information to increase knowledge, specifically on Armenian articles. Armenian includes two primary dialects of Eastern and Western Armenian. Pages referring only to one dialect as "Armenian" are misleading, as that portrays only one dialect as the sole dialect of the language. If we are here to improve Wikipedia, denying this fact only hinders that cause. HyeSK (talk) 09:17, 8 August 2016 (UTC)HyeSK

- If you're here to improve Wikipedia, why don't you stop edit warring and bring this dispute to a talk page. Even though there is one, you're still edit warring! You have to realise edit warring is highly disruptive and because you continue to do so, you find yourself being brought here again, HyeSK.
talk) 09:24, 8 August 2016 (UTC)The one edit warring is the one who reverted my edits. Yerevantsi was warned about edit warring a month ago for the same reverts. The information I added only adds to the quality of the article. I have added this to the talk page on Yerevan's article:
Armenian language The Armenian language has two primary dialects - Eastern and Western. Eastern Armenian is spoken primarily in Armenia, Russia, Georgia, and Iran. The other major populations of Armenians around the world are speakers of the Western dialect. These nations include the U.S., France, UK, Germany, Brasil, and Argentina among many others. In the current day and age, the two dialects use different spellings for various words, and many times completely different words for the same topic. Eastern Armenian has been highly permeated by the Russian language while Western Armenian and Krapar (Classic Armenian) have not. Also, the Eastern Armenian alphabet has been modified at various times under Russian and Soviet rule, with various letters being modified or completely removed to "Russify" the language.
I, on various wikipages, have added the Western Armenian spelling to the pages, as it is relevant to proper understanding of the Armenian language. Listing only one dialect (Eastern) as the language Armenian (hy) is dishonest and disingenuous. It provides an incorrect understanding of the language. My edits are providing a greater understanding - is this not what we are all here to do?
The arguments from two wikiusers are that Western Armenian is not the official language of Armenia (neither is Eastern Armenian - Armenian is the official language) or that Eastern is more widely spoken (which is in fact false). Since when do either of these reasons negate the relevance of a language? And, since when do false arguments hold weight? HyeSK (talk) 09:31, 8 August 2016 (UTC)HyeSK — Preceding unsigned comment added by HyeSK (talk • contribs)
This user had no understanding of Wikipedia policies. Instead of reaching a consensus on the talk page he prefers edit warring. He has one mission here: to make Western Armenian relevant in places where it isn't. Furthermore, he does not seem to be competent in the matter as he confuses different spellings of Armenian with its standardizes forms/dialects. --Երևանցի talk 09:39, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
Yerevansti - It is clear you do not have a solid grasp of the Armenian language or it's history. There are two (2) standardized forms of the Armenian language - Western and Eastern. This is a fact which anyone is able to easily find. Your arguments are false and have no weight. And, how is Western Armenian "not relevant" when writing in forms of the Armenian language? Please, explain this. I have entered a section in on the talk page of the article, which is posted above.HyeSK (talk) 09:58, 8 August 2016 (UTC)HyeSK
- And you don't seem to understand that Երեւան is not the "Western Armenian spelling" but the spelling in the classical/traditional orthography. Iranian Armenians speak Eastern Armenian, but use the aforementioned spelling. Is it really that hard to understand that Western Armenian ≠ classical spelling. --Երևանցի talk 22:59, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

- I was going to report both users myself - Both users have taken up the entire history with this pathetic warring, Both users have been here since 2011 and 2012 respectively so therefore should know better and should know edit summaries don't count as a talkpage!, Both haven't discussed it at all and therefore should be blocked. –Davey2010Talk 17:16, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
- I was thinking about that point myself but then I chose not to report the second user since s/he was restoring a large chunk of the article. But now I see s/he continued reverting even after this report. It doesn't look good but on the talkpage of the article s/he seems to indicate that s/he doesn't want to revert alone any longer.

- To be totally honest Ajax was Bold, He was Reverted and so he should've then Discussed the issue so on a technicality Ajax is at fault however they both edit warred and therefore are as bad as each other, Personally regardless of whether "they said they'll stop" they should be blocked anyway as they've actually taken up 2 pages of wars but that's just my honest opinion. –Davey2010Talk 18:08, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Please note that 1RR applies at this article per discretionary sanctions. According to
WP:3RR, a revert is any edit or series of consecutive edits that undoes other editors' actions—whether in whole or in part, and whether supported by consensus or not. That's why I and other editors have been avoiding the kind of edits like the four listed above. I don't think DrFleischman is a bad editor, but this is just a matter of fairness so everyone edits by the same rules. When the rule refers to "undoing other editors' actions," is it only referring to actions that occurred relatively recently in the edit history? If so, why doesn't the rule say that? When it refers to "in whole or in part," is it exempting good faith attempts at compromise? If not, why doesn't the rule say that? Even if the rule said that, I think this would be a 1RR violation per diffs one and three.Anythingyouwant (talk) 18:50, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
- Admins, if you're confused by the complaint it's because yes, it's procedurally defective. Anythingyouwant simply took my four most recent edits to
being bold and making constructive edits to the article. Two of these edits were never disputed, and the third is being resolved through talk page discussion, which I have readily participated in. In none of these cases was I reverting back to any prior version, at least to my knowledge. The fourth "revert" was simply me implementing this talk page consensus. There has been no dispute that the edit does in fact represent the consensus.- What makes this complaint extra-unfortunate is that Anythingyouwant only lodged it to
disruptive editing. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 20:22, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
- Regarding the third revert, DrFleischman says, "and the third is being resolved through talk page discussion". In what world is that a justification for saying it wasn't a revert? That third revert was obviously the subject of controversy at the article talk page. The main reason I filed this report is because I am firmly convinced that the first and third diffs are reverts that together violate 1RR. The other two diffs (the second and fourth) are less obvious, and so I am indeed interested in what the verdict is about them.Anythingyouwant (talk) 20:45, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
- My point on the third edit was that I made a bold edit, it was reverted by another editor, and then we discussed. BRD. No reverts by me. Simple as that. You are disrupting the normal editing process. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 21:01, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
- The whole subject of diff three is discussed at the current article talk page (not an archive) before DrFleischman made that bold edit. For example, "Unless there's something which contradicts this source, the claim that 'he graduated from Wharton' should be removed from the article.Volunteer Marek (talk) 07:06, 1 August 2016 (UTC)" Dr. Fleischman's edit #3 (about Wharton) was very clearly a revert. I would be happy to withdraw this report if DrFleischman would please remove his most recent revert. Thanks.Anythingyouwant (talk) 21:14, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
- Seriously? So each time I make a bold edit I'm first supposed to go into the talk page archives and literally hundreds of edits deep into the article's edit history to make sure the same edit hasn't been fought over in the past? Anythingyouwant's last sentence makes it seem like maybe they just want their version of the 4th edit to be restored against consensus. This strikes me as bullying behavior. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 21:26, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
- I now reluctantly withdraw the offer to take down this 1RR report, which I made in good faith (not to bully anyone!). Both diffs one and three are very clearly reverts. And they are both controversial at the article talk page as it stands right now (during this month of August), in case the age of the controversy makes any difference, and that controversy existed before these two respective reverts. I don't suggest that DrFleischman needs to study the talk history of this article going back forever. The easiest way to avoid problems is to not make more than one edit --- like diffs one thru four --- per day. But if he wants to run the risk of editing like diffs one thru four, by undoing the work of other editors, then why not look at the current talk page sans archives?Anythingyouwant (talk) 21:41, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
- The discussion I believe you're referring to appeared from both the header and the first comment to be about a different subject. Regardless, I don't think anything in our policies or guidelines requires editors to review the talk page before making bold edits. Just because I made an edit on content that happened to be discussed partway down an old talk page discussion doesn't make my edit a revert. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 22:33, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
- Note: Complaint was withdrawn by Anythingyouwant. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 22:59, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Edit war started with unexplained content removal on the first edit, but escalated into a dispute over whether or not the information removed was worth keeping. Though I didn't state it in edit summaries, I felt strongly that the information on the town trail and Newquay in film should be kept. Given the other editor's lengthy, troubling block history for edit warring (six counts, to be exact), I see no reason for a temporary block at this point. ElectricBurst(Electron firings)(Zaps) 20:19, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
- ElectricBurst went straight to AIV with NO warning (against "The user must have been given enough warnings to stop their disruptive behavior.") dispite his false claim then removed my defense there. He did not give any reason for his edits while I did. I had though I had removed the information in a previous edit thus the first edit was just "Surfbury". I started a talk page discussion while he was here reporting me. He makes his fustration know that he can get me punished at AVI then removes my response twice now [99] [100] that he has been the instigating editor as NPA when it was similar in tone to his own post. Spshu (talk) 20:45, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

- The diff is in my post. At the last AN3, the responding administrator stated he was not obligated into what actually happen just that I trivially legitimately reverted once some other editor over some other issue on the same article and disregarded that I was reverting the removal of what was agree upon the proper source (while using the edit summary to get the other editor to the talk page). So, I don't hold out any hope that the responding administrator would actual look at the talk page and would assume that the other editor started the talk section. Spshu (talk) 13:05, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
- As an outside editor, those edits were acceptable. IMDB is user-generated content, so it is an invalid source. Primary sources can be used sparingly, but secondary sources are preferred. The information removed looked and read like trivial statements rather than encyclopedic content. As no edit summaries were provided for the reversions, I assert that the burden of proof is on Electricburst1996 to determine whether their reversions were appropriate.

It seems pretty clear to me that in this particular case, WV is up against a returning troll who likes to push WV's buttons. What I don't undertand is, after 5-6 previous edit warring blocks, why the hell can't WV resist edit warring when provoked? I think an appropriate action for Ismadeby is an indef block as a troublemaking sock. I just don't know what an appropriate action for WV is: no action because he's being provoked by a sock? 1 month block for edit warring after 5 previous blocks for same? Somewhere in between? Indef block? A lifetime 0RR restriction, no matter whether it's a sock he's reverting or not?

Nobody has done a checkuser yet to connect User:Ismadeby to the sock case, though the behavior may be evidence. Ismadeby also removed his own edit warring report from this noticeboard five times, which hardly counts as good behavior. Note that there is more information in the other complaint.

AlecCollie (talk) 22:20, 10 August 2016 (UTC) i have a few points to add.
1. I know a lot more about the subject than any other the other editors. As explained I am not censoring or taking out information that is of public interested. Indeed the relationship break up, the cost of the house or for that matter any monetary or personal issue is not relevant. Ms Wilkins is an old lady who is a very private individual. Yes she sought help from a programme but this is because she wanted to save the house. Ms Wilkins is a private individual and is not a public figure. 2. The other editors don't publish the cost if their houses on their Wikipedia pages or the state of their current relationship. It is therefore not relevant to the article. 3. The comment about Ms Wilkins thinking she is a custodian of the house and the pain staking work involved in it renovation are far more relevant to the history of the Manor. 4. The previous owner (who was actually made bankrupt) is not listed, therefore the history is incomplete. Without a full history of ownership, the current details of purchase price, sale price, the financial affairs or marital\relationship status if Ms Wilkins is not relevant. 5. Lastly, I have not made any "invective" comments about another editor. According to Wikipedia it means insulting, abusive, or highly critical language. Calling someone a busy body doesn't count!

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [126]Comments:
This is not technically a breach of 3RR, since the four reversions were made in a space of 27 hours. But it is clearly edit-warring, and involved adding material which two editors (including myself) deemed to be a BLP violation. The last reversion adjusted the wording, but made it an even more flagrant BLP violation; the other edits also added material that was not in any source. In any case, the material should not be in the lead (per arguments on the talk page), and there was never anything remotely close to a consensus to restore the material. StAnselm (talk) 04:47, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
- It is not a breach of 3RR and we have already been to the BLP Noticeboard who determined an even harsher wording of the point of contention was not a BLP [127]. I have made many attempts to make a compromise edit asked for options of compromise and User:StAnselm says I don't agree to any changes so you have no consensus, (no one else seems to be visiting this article). The information I added is plainly sourced for the article. Sources actually called it sexual abuse and he has been accused of allegedly enjoying to masturbate on his young nanny. Again, we have already been to the BLP noticeboard with the wording and the sources. Lipsquid (talk) 14:21, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
- No, that is not what the BLP noticeboard determined at all. In any case, the sources do not say there was actual sexual abuse, only alleged sexual abuse. There is a very important difference. If you can't see the difference, you shouldn't be editing BLPs. StAnselm (talk) 19:33, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
- It's also not true that no one else is "visiting" this article. I'm someone else. I've both edited the page and commented on the talk page. There is no consensus for inserting this material into the lede. In my view, that would be undue weight in a BLP of this length. The allegation and the subject's response are covered properly in the "Controversy" section. David in DC (talk) 19:48, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
- It is what the BLP board determined, the link is there for review. Also, my first edit of the contentious material did in fact include "alleged" [128]. More nonsense that flat out isn't true. This BLP had their notability questioned in 2011 and it was left open with no consensus. Now in 2016, the only thing they are notable for is the fall from grace and lawsuit that is a result of the alleged interaction with the nanny. I understand that some people might dislike the material, but it is impeccably sourced and the vast majority of sources say the same thing. There is no reason to keep it out, especially since he has no other notability. Lipsquid (talk) 19:58, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
- That's a fair argument, but you should have made it on the talk page rather than edit-warring. In any case, it is easily refuted: In her book Building God's Kingdom (OUP, 2015), Julie Ingersoll devotes a whole chapter to Doug Phillips, and only two pages out of 27 concern the events surrounding his resignation. StAnselm (talk) 20:43, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
Please re-read the advice at the bottom of the BLP/N thread you are citing. You thank another editor for this advice "It's not a BLP violation, but whether it's included in the article is a matter for editors to decide by way of consensus...." That editor also suggests using a direct quote, but that's not the final resolution. It a suggestion for, perhaps, coming to consensus, nothing more. It surely does not justify the edit-warring.David in DC (talk) 21:15, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
- I have read it several times, it says "not a BLP violation" several times. I am fine with using a direct quote. I would also be fine with having a compromise edit in the lead. I am okay with all of the advice from the BLP board. I just can't get consensus on a low trafficked article for any change. I will walk away and remove it from my watchlist, I will watch the board here, but this is one of the travesties of Wikipedia. Low volume articles get
WP:OWNed by people who say BRD, BRD, then have no intention of ever agreeing to a compromise. Lipsquid (talk) 21:32, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
- The solution to disagreements on low-traffic arguments is often to start a RfC, as I suggested to you a few days ago.

- The only reason people have to waste their time on RfCs for very common sense edits is because some editors have zero interest in compromise and know they can game the system with "BRD, no consensus, no consensus" and have the other person walk away rather than be blocked or waste more time. I walked away, Doug Phillips is a great guy. Can we be done? Lipsquid (talk) 22:57, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

- Hold it. Here Johnsc1277 added the date 22 November 2001, with this TechInsider citation. This corroborates the 22 November part, but would give 2000 if my maths hasn't gone wrong. Now once Sro23 rejected this they moved on to the Wikia source, which is inconsistent with TechInsider. The question arises whether this is reliable, but the statement in the citation is attributed to Cravalho herself. Sro23, did you read that first source, and on what basis did you reject it if so?

Simply put, this user has been continuously providing false information on this page and I have been reverting it back for the past year and a half. All of the certifications on Ice Cube's page have reference links directly to the RIAA's site, and all of DPGCMonsta's edits are being made deliberately to boost the sales numbers on the page. The link to the talk page is indeed the user's because I have made it known that there is a discrepancy with the edits. Readers on here should get the facts and not some skewed numbers that, and neither I nor anyone else should have to maintain a constant watch.talk) 20:06, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Brightline 3rr vio attalk) 08:17, 12 August 2016 (UTC)Update: Given that I was in error at Konitsa, and that we have reached an agreement at Albanians, I am withdrawing the report. That said, I certainly do not appreciate the mud-slinging and character assasination by Resnjari in his defense below.
talk) 05:07, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
- Resnjari's reply: Of the Konitsa article the editor who reported me was pushing POV by distorting the sentence [159] (and claiming "bad grammar" as a reason) whereby the source did not say what that editor was claiming (see footnote 49: [160]). This editor only recently edited the page after a long absence. In a dialogue of good faith in the talkpage i am currently engaging other editors over content [161] which he has not in recent times contributed too thus far. Of the Albanians page i explained to the editor that the sentence placed in the lede was a condensation and based on Ramet (which he deleted [162][163] and placed Giakoumis who deals only with southern Albania while the editor then wrote a sentence that implies all Albanians based on that source) as she sums up the conversion process of Albanians more so than any other scholar [164]. His first response to me was about myself trying to "make the Albanians look more western" [165]. His second response was about misgivings of trusting me, implied source manipulation and accusations of cherry picking [166]. In a third reply he referred to "Funny, duress due to excessive love of Europe" [167] which left me perplexed. I point to these edits because the editor is involving his own personal POV (of possibly Albanians) instead of just engaging with the sources which is why i reverted his article edits which i felt had a POV overtone to them. While in here he accuses me of "ferocious edit-warring". I recently edited, heavily referenced the
WP:BATTLEGROUND. This has made editing at times very unpalatable. Other editors have taken the matter further [180] and he has been noted by an administrator for his "bad language". I don't know if it has to do with his personal views of things, though i have always placed sources and their content in determining the discussion above trivial things. It is within that context i reverted his edits as his other commentary (on the edit summary box and talkpage) concerned me about whether his edits were based on the sources or his own point of view separate to scholarship.Resnjari (talk) 12:23, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
- SilentResident's reply: Athenean's past records can not justify your multiple and repeated violations of the 3RR, Resnjari. Nor the fact that he has been blocked in the past while you have a clean record, makes your argument against his report more valid, I am afraid. Your latest edits on Konitsa were not in accordance with what the cited source says, and thus I had no other option but to have your edits reverted. -- SILENTRESIDENT 08:03, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
- additional comment: I have given my reply. Reverts where done as stated in the above section for the reason's outlined. An editor at the very least should base themselves on the scholarship, not on their opinion of what a particular group is considered "Western" or how Western etc. In the Konitsa article Baltsiotis says the Muslims of the town where considered of Turkish origin while at the moment it states that they themselves perceived themselves as Turks. That's a big difference.Resnjari (talk) 14:19, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
- Note: I have undone my revert to Resnjari's edit on the article Konitsa, here: [[181]]. More specifically, upon re-checking the sources, I realized that self-declaration and consideration should not be confused with each other as they are two completely different things with different meanings when it comes to intentities. The one is by-self, the other is by-others. And therefore, the sentence has been restored to its previous version. However, the sentence is still problematic and the way it was worded, can not prevent from further confusion in the future. -- SILENTRESIDENT 14:48, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
- additional comment by Resnjari: This is footnote 49, the whole thing from Baltsiotis [182]:
According to a basically common legal process, a few hundred more individuals, Muslims, living mostly in urban centers declared themselves to be of “Albanian origin” and some others obtained Albanian nationality and thus avoided their inclusion in the exchange process. On the other hand the (Muslim) population of Preveza, and the majority of that of Yanina and of the small towns of Konitsa, Parga and Poghoniani (ex-Voshtina), were considered “Turks by origin” and were included in the exchange of the populations
- And this is what the current sentence after your change recently done says[183]:
With the onset of the Balkan Wars and the 1923 population exchange between Greece and Turkey, roughly two thirds of Konitsa's Muslims declared themselves to be "of Turkish origin" and left for Turkey.
- SilentResident, have i been reading Baltsiotis wrong or is there a difference between self declaration and outsiders considering someone to be something ? Its why i reverted. As the sentence stands it states that Konitsa's Muslims declared themselves to be of Turkish origin, edits [184] that were done in the first place by the editor who reported me here. Baltsiotis who is peer reviewed stated that they were considered of Turkish origin and up for population exchange, not declared (that is OR).Resnjari (talk) 15:12, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
- Resnjari, the whole sentence is very problematic as it stands now. I reverted the previous edit but I am still having the impression it is still not good to go. Like I said above, it causes confusion the way it is worded. I believe the sentence needs to clarify that they were self-determined as Albanians before it says that they were considered by others to be Turks. -- SILENTRESIDENT 15:20, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
- SilentResident, Thank you for the recent edit. Now its in line with the sources and no OR or POV and was the reasons why i reverted in the first place.Resnjari (talk) 15:28, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
- The sentence has been fixed now as: [[185]]. But you know, this should have been achieved without edit warring and breaching the 3RR rules. I recommend next time you refrain from such behavior as this is not the way to go. -- SILENTRESIDENT 15:31, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
- I prefer to use the talk and have (and most editors know i have, some have said that i use it too much as i like detail -because that way no need to do the discussion over and over again). When i have used the talk in the past with the editor who reported me, lets just say instead of the sources at times being the first and mainly only port of call in guiding the discussion, other trivial things have come up (as i have cited with the examples above pertaining to the recent edits where i have been reported on). The Konitsa article now has been dealt with and even the Albanians one after the editor who reported me came up with a compromise (but only much later) which i am ok with that does not over bloat the lede. Nonetheless i don't know what's going to happen here. Best.Resnjari (talk) 15:39, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [200]Comments:
This is not a violation of 3RR, but a case of continued edit warning despite both a warning and the fact that one of the three editors TripWire has reverted had opened a discussion of the content on the article's talk page. TripWire's insistence on retaining their preferred version is unhelpful while the talk page discussion is under way. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:50, 12 August 2016 (UTC)Response by TripWire
A clear case of
WP:BOOMERANG as the user reporting has made no significant editsof the article himself, nor has he participated at all in the discussion(s) being carried out. The user has a potential CoI with the article and perhaps this is the reason he is not happy with leaving a sourced content that does not suit his POV. Though I need not to explain my edits as they are not violating 3RR, but as the matter has been brought here, I will like to reply:
- The very first edit quoted by the complaint was made at 19:33, 8 August 2016 in response to when a longstanding info (that Sirmila Bose is an Indian academic) was removed by Czyrko without any explanation. How else should someone deal with such an edit which was borderline vandalism? The edit summary I gave was: "She's of Indian descent. Attribution to her has been discussed at talk"
- The second edit being quoted was made at 00:36, 10 August 2016 when Aditya Kabir mistakenly reverted me thinking that I was t-banned which was not the case. As there was no reason behind Aditya's revert, so it had to be undone.
- The third edit being quoted was made at 15:47, 10 August 2016 in response to Kautilya3's revert with the edit summary: "She's an Indian. Added sources. Plz read and also understand WP:ASPERSION before throwing around policies" - this was infact the first proper edit that was made by me in which two sources were added by me to support the content which were not present initially. How else do we build WP - by adding content based on sources, no? The first two being mistakes, per
WP:BRD. Dont see anything wrong here either.
The fourth edit being quoted is the repeatition of the same edit already mentioned at serial 3, I dont know if I should take it as a mistake or a poor attempt at adding false weight to the report?Lastly, a discussion at the talk page is currently being carried out and per
WP:IDONTLIKEIT. In short, as the complainant himself has said that this is not a case of 3RR vio, I am still wondering why am I even replying to this? AWP:BOOMERANG will be in order especially when the complainant is an uninvolved editor with no contribution or participation in resolving the dispute, and as he has filed an undue report wasting precious time of Admins.—TripWire ︢ ︢ ︡ ︢ ︡ ︢ ︡ ︢ ︡ ︡ ︢ ︡ ʞlɐʇ18:31, 12 August 2016 (UTC)Response to Worldbruce's Fresh Comments
As I have mentioned earlier, my first revert was in response to "Unexplained removal of content", a reason which is quite common and frequent on WP. You remove legit content without giving any reason, it is bound to get reverted unless the initial edit was made to counter vandalism etc. So, speaking frankly your opinion didnt matter as my revert equaled an attempt at countering vandalism.
Second, when you say you had "cautioned me against editing against the consensus of three other editors", I must say that you are again wrong here. Because, the first editor committed borderline vandalism by removing content and then not explaining why. The second editor, (wrongly) reverted me thinking I was t-banned i.e. his dispute was not with the content but with me as a person. And the third person again just jumped the gun despite knowing that the previous edits by two other editors were not legit. So, sir, you cant possibly say that I was going against the consensus of three editors.
Third, I do not agree with you when you say that you tried to "de-escalate" the conflict, as there was NO conflict because the first revert was in response to vandalism, and the second one was in response to a mistake. The conflict only commenced when Kuatilya joined in and then opened a discussion.
Fourth, my edit history will show you that I am quite active at talks/prompt in opening discussions and participating in the same. I would have opened up the discussion myself as I have done so many times in the past whenever a dispute has risen, but I dont understand why would I open a discussion when I was reverting "Unexplained removal of content"?? Yeah, sure, per
WP:HARASSMENT.Last, as you have corrected your mistake, I shall too strike my comment. And as you have added a fresh diff, the response is that this edit was made at 21:07, 12 August 2016 AFTER the discussion had progressed, and as per policy, content in dispute ought to stay unless there is a consensus to ultimately remove the content i.e the clean/original version of the article stays till consensus has been gained. So, again, I dont see anything wrong with it either especially when it was
WP:NOT3RR.—TripWire ︢ ︢ ︡ ︢ ︡ ︢ ︡ ︢ ︡ ︡ ︢ ︡ ʞlɐʇ20:03, 12 August 2016 (UTC)Response to Kuatilya
Kuatilya, first, this forum is not for discussing content disputes but edit-warring, so if you have anything to say about the latter, please do so or else there is not need to complicate a very simple issue of Harassment and a poor report. Still:
- Re:Stonewalling: A little glance at the discussion at talk-page will show who was actually stonewalling. Kautilya3 having no locus standi for his revert first himself brought in the Sarmila's nationality issue to the discussion and then brought in the merits and demerits of Sarmila's book which had nothing to do with the current dispute, and then bold enough, asked me to stop discussing both of these issues though it was him who stonewalled the discussion at the first place. What's even strange that he accuses me of stonewalling while he himself totally sidetracks and stonewalls in response to a very direct question related precisely to the dispute. This was my desperate attempt to bring Kuatilya back into the actual discussion so that a resolution can be reached to which he paid no attention whatsoever. I would request the admins to please take a look at the discussion themselves and see if it was me or Kuatilya who was deflecting the discussion.
- All this was done by Kuatilya while he blatantly violated the restrictions placed on him recently.
- Re:Synthesis: Kuatilya is just misrepresenting the source which clearly says that Sarmila is an "American... of Indian parentage", while he safely omits the mention of another independent source which explicitly says that Sarmila is an Indian author. I wonder if he actually knew what he meant when he said that I
synthesizedthe content even though it was not added by me.
- Re:Longstanding: The content in dispute was added after an exhaustive discussion [201] [202] [203] had taken place and consensus had been reached to which Kuatilya had been a party to. I wonder what prompted him to against the consensus to which he had been heavily involved and had agreed to just months after?
- Strangely enough, whereas Kuatliya himself advises others not to modify content without leaving an edit-summary or else they risk a reversion, but at the same time fails to follow his own advice and instead supports unexplained removal of content by Czyrko by reverting me which infact is cause of this entire dispute! Unfathomable, innit?
- Kuatilya, the main point is that as the consensus has not been reached (for removal of the said content), it should stay there till an agreement has been reached, but then you removed it twice already.—TripWire ︢ ︢ ︡ ︢ ︡ ︢ ︡ ︢ ︡ ︡ ︢ ︡ ʞlɐʇ 20:56, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
Response to Sutish
Sutish, I dont know you and you dont know me. We have never interacted, never crossed paths, nor been in disputes or even probably edited the same articles. But I have found you to be quick in jumping into reports involving me and Kuatiliya. Second, your comment here show that you have absolutely no idea what
WP:3RRis, please educate yourself on it first.'To Admin I would request you to speedily close this case as the usual attempts of
WP:SOAPBOXare underway. And if possible, please look into the fact that why always a set group of editors who have never communicated with be before are always available to comment on such reports.
- @TripWire: Thank you for pointing out my pasting error in the above list of reverts. I have struck the duplicate and added the revert I intended to include.
- At the time of your first revert, I had no strong opinion as to which version was better. Indeed, my early feeling was that this was developing into a contender for lamest edit war ever. As you say, I am an uninvolved editor with clean hands. I have not engaged in the edit warring, and have attempted to de-escalate the conflict by cautioning you against editing against the consensus of three other editors and encouraging you to open a discussion on the article's talk page, advice you decided not to take. Kautilya3 opened a discussion on the talk page, and I have been following it. If you were to advance there a cogent and persuasive argument for why your version better serves the reader, you might even win my support. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:11, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
- This is a probably a bit more complicated than the standard edit-warring situation. TripWire did participate in the talk page discussion, but their participation has been the usual stone-walling. The points I have raised have not been addressed, and TripWire reinstated the disputed content before reaching a consensus. Whether that is sanctionable or not I leave to the admins to decide.
- All I can say is that the rationale given for the final reinstatement [204] is not valid. The first citation, the author's personal page describes her as an "American... of Indian parentage." The fact that reducing it to "Indian academic" is an unreasonable
synthesis is not something TripWire appreciates or probably ever likely to appreciate. The contention that it is "long-standing content" is also not exactly true. This content has been inserted after 4 March, a period of intense disputes, resulting in two full page-protections and two topic bans. So, this is problematic content and there is loads of such content on that page. The real problem is that all the knowledgeable editors that could have fixed the page have gotten tired of the disputes and left. The ratio of POV pushing to well-qualified editing has gone sky high, and the Wikipedia is degenerating. So, until some brave new souls come who have the knowledge and the energy to fight, this junk will just stay there. Those are the facts of the situation. This edit was just a drop in the ocean. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 20:22, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
- TripWire has given lengthy responses above, filibustering as they normally do. I deliberately avoided content dispute here. But if the two sources disagree, the discussion of their relative merits should have happened on the talk page and consensus reached before an edit was made again. The main point is however that consensus has not been reached before they reinstated the disputed content. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 21:38, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
- Comment A clear breach. I don't think I have had any involvement with TripWire on articles but I have noticed their antics - wild accusations against others, TLDR responses involving misinterpreted policies, POV pushing, a tendency to pay lip-service to BRD while continuing on their merry way etc. I did comment at the recent AE case, suggesting that enough is enough. I maintain that opinion and the content of this report merely reinforces it: they seem yet again to be incapable of following our norms and I have little doubt that this is ultimately going to end up before ArbCom and/or with a community-imposed indef topic ban from everything related to South Asia. - Sitush (talk) 05:10, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
- TripWire - think edit warring, not 3RR. I regularly follow Kautilya's edits - we have a lot of cross-over in terms of interests, although we do not always agree. When we do not, we work things out in a collegial manner, which is something that you should learn. - Sitush (talk) 09:17, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

- This editor has been blanking a section of an article under 1RR restrictions. As near as I can tell, he is a supporter of Donald Trump (which is fine) who is non-plussed by a section of this article (which is also fine). He has alleged an ~ 400 byte section of the article constitutes a BLP violation (it doesn't really seem to, but out of a preponderance of caution I'm certainly open to discussing that point and keeping that section off page as we work through it, and have proposed alt verbiage here). However, instead of addressing that section he repeatedly is blanking 6,000 bytes of sourced material (the entire section in which the objectionable sub-section is housed).

- Fair enough. But EEng had reservations about BLP infringement which, in itself, provides a legitimate caveat. CassiantoTalk 08:52, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- I suspect if one could just yell "BLP" before 1RR'ing, regardless of the actuality of a BLP issue, there would be no need for enforcement. That said, I certainly give GF to his concerns and am happy to discuss. However, I don't believe a BLP concern over 400 bytes of text justifies deletion of the 6,100 preceding bytes - for which there is no concern - as well? I may be a little jaded, though, I've been holding the line for the better part of a year now at
Planned presidential transition of Donald Trump being edit-warred 34 times in a day from the Trump campaign HQ over "security concerns" [210]. I may be a bit defensive from having to go through this endlessly, so, if this is a legitimate 1RR I apologize and defer.- (I sure would like to reinsert those 6,100 bytes of sourced material for which there was no concern that is being blanked, though.

I rewrote the lede to remove it, and he then reverted my rewrite with the edit note Idea that US presidential elections are "traditionally" this or that needs a strong source which suggests he's just reverting without reading. There's not a rational, analysis-based approach occurring if you're just pounding the "revert" key without actually looking at what you're reverting. LavaBaron (talk) 09:18, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- User:Ritchie333 - in the interim can I restore the 6100 bytes of text that are not at issue vis a vis BLP? LavaBaron (talk) 09:21, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- As discussed by multiple editors at Template:Did_you_know_nominations/Trump_plant_theory (another article, also by LavaBaron, containing the exact same material for some reason) the material removed states that Jeb Bush, George Will, and others actually propound the theory that Donald Trump is a "plant". This completely misrepresents sources, which make it clear that no one is saying this in seriousness. That's a BLP violation. And, as mentioned, the entire removed section was duplicated at another article -- LavaBaron seems to have seeded it into multiple overlapping articles he's created.
- I didn't realize this article is under 1RR, but if we want to get technical, me removing something that's been there for days, LavaBaron restoring it, then me re-removing it, is only a single reversion on my part.
- LavaBaron is under special restrictions at DYK precisely because of the chronic habit of misreading and misrepresenting sources. He's currently been forum-shopping to have those restrictions removed, and trying to get DYK rules changed to squelch scrutiny of his nominations, without success:
- LavaBaron's idea that I'm a Trump supporter is so absurd as to border on the surreal, as a glance at User:EEng#A_not-so-entertaining_diversion will show. I wouldn't mention this except that it serves to show how completely backwards LavaBaron is able to get things (as in his misinterpretation of sources, above) as well as his belief that everyone who disagrees with him is motivated by dark intentions -- not unlike Donald Trump, come to think of it.
I gotta go to bed, so pinging
Fram and The_Rambling_Man, two admins active at DYK who are familiar with the situation. EEng 09:23, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- EEng - I'd love to keep this civil. No offense was intended when I said I thought you were a Trump supporter and, if you were offended, I apologize. If I mischaracterized you, I apologize. However, I don't believe everyone who disagrees with me is "motivated by dark intentions." As for "multiple overlapping articles" - I'm proposing to merge them after a discussion elsewhere and with other feedback. Nothing more dramatic than that. Also, did you not see my counter-proposal here? Would love to get your feedback on it. I think it ameliorates your concerns. Sorry we got off on the wrong foot! I'm going to bed too, have a great night! LavaBaron (talk) 09:28, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- Oh, now that you see I'm not a Trump supporter, it's all hugs and kisses, huh? I know you mean well, but you create too much content too quickly, with too little attention to detail. Combined with your penchant for counterpunching (to adopt the term of Donald Trump, of whom I assume you're a supporter)[FBDB] when people try to bring you back to earth, this really pisses a lot of people off, including me, and all this forum shopping doesn't help either.
- I appreciate your trying to work something out, though I don't know how you'd think I would have seen a subpage of your userpage. The problem with this entire Trump-plant topic is that, while it's clear the sources aren't saying these people actually believe the idea, neither do the sources say in what exact vein they think these clearly nonserious "expressions of support" were made -- were they just jokes? Satire? As a result, we may be caught in a limbo where we can't say these people "support" the theory, but we also can't say in what vein they sent the tweets or whatever, because the sources don't characterize it clearly enough. EEng 09:45, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- I totally get where you're coming from, EEng. One of the sources, MSNBC, actually refers to Carlos Curbelo describing his view as "for some, it’s actually not a joke" [212]. The other sources seem similarly clear-cut to me, so not sure I agree with you that the RS state it's a joke. To your question about the subpage of my userpage - I posted a link in the Talk section of the article, which is where we usually post edit discussions. Anyway, glad our differences are resolved. Look forward to discussing this with you further in Talk. Sorry, again, if I said anything you took as offense. LavaBaron (talk) 09:54, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

First, please see the Fringe Theories noticeboard discussion here for background on what's going on with these articles:These articles have long been a promotional device for users looking to use the site to push cryptozoology, a pseudoscience. While the situation has gotten better over the years as some of these user have dropped off and other, more pseudoscience-wary users have come along, we still have an issue with users edit-warring to promote cryptozoology on Wikipedia and we still don't have any active folklorists who work with the project. This user has been particularly fierce about it lately and has stood in the way of improvement. There appears to be consensus regarding a redirect on the fringe theories noticeboard and please note that every single reference used on the current article is a cryptozoologist source (the term is only used by cryptozoologists and not by folklorists). :bloodofox: (talk) 21:25, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- Comment Where to begin. This has boomerang all over it. It pops up on my watchlist that an article was first reverted and then was completely blanked. There was no discussion about it at all. I reverted the vandalism. It was blanked 2 more times. I reverted two more attempts at vandalizing the article. We aren't talking about a tweak or sentence change... the 9-year-old article contents were removed without discussion on the article talk page. many editors have worked on this article over the years. The editor removing the contents was warned multiple times but he deleted the warnings. I even put the article and editor up on the vandalism watchlist so others could deal with it instead of me. So with warnings and watchlist postings I feel I did my part to stop someone from page blanking. Could this article be merged in its entirety into another article. Hey that's possible with proper discussion. But we can't just have entire contents without discussion on the articles talk page. Too many editors (including bloodofox) have added to it through the years. Fyunck(click) (talk) 21:45, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- While this user is also doing a lot of talk about "vandalism", they're aware that they're misusing the term per Wikipedia standards (see rejected report). Red flag two.
- The user is well aware that every reference in the article is from a primary, pro-cryptozoology work—which fits his pro-cryptozoology approach well. Red flag three.
- Again, if you haven't looked at the this yet, I highly recommend that you do to get an idea what what's going on here. :bloodofox: (talk) 22:04, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- Something seems broken here. Look, I'm heading away tomorrow till Sunday night, and I won't be able to respond. So if I get blocked for trying to stop page blanking without discussion with those who created the article 9 years ago, then I won't see it till then. But there are certain protocols, no matter the article, that we have to follow. RFC's, merge requests, AfD's. It's only fair to everyone. I'm not sure what has set this editor on edge, enough to have to fabricate things about me, or to start blanking articles without discussion, but all I ask is that those things stop. It's as if he owns the article and is allowed to bully his way no matter what. That doesn't seem fair to other editors who have worked on the article through its 9 years.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [223]; discussion still active, but edit warring continues
Comments:
I moved a text message that was hidden in the source code to Template:Editnotices/Page/Hannah Primrose, Countess of Rosebery. I explained doing this in the commentary of all three edits. SchroCat (talk · contribs) keeps reverting thinking I removed the text completely.
The message itself actually violatesuse and misuse of hidden texts, since it is "telling others not to perform certain edits to a page" even though it was added without prior discussion anywhere in 2008. --bender235 (talk) 13:46, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- There are several reasons why this is a bad move, as explained to you in the village pump discussion. The fact that you think your preferred version is the one you need to edit war to without discussion, without taking into account ) 13:49, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- "
telling others": no, it asks them to discuss on the talk page. It is an attempt to avoid edit warring (which, ironically, you have turned into an edit war because of your intransigence)- "
it was added without prior discussion": 90-95% of our edits are made this way. This is something that has been there for eight years without people challenging it, and now you decide that you unilaterally want it gone, and you are prepared to edit war without the discussion coming to a conclusion? That's a very, very poor way of going about things. - SchroCat (talk) 14:01, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- "
as explained to you in the village pump discussion": You mean this VP(M) discussion where you basically told others you don't care about their opinions, and called me an "IB warrior" like I was following some evil agenda?- "
90-95% of our edits are made this way": you very well know that this is not your regular type of contribution. It discourages people from making a certain edit, and it gives the illusion of an established consensus on the issue, when in fact there was no prior discussion at all. --bender235 (talk) 14:10, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- "
you ... told others you don't care about their opinions": no, that's not true. I told one IB warrior to keep his opinions of my actions to himself.- Firstly, no, it's a polite message to ask people to use the talk page; secondly, it's a matter for discussion, not for you to arrogantly edit war to your preferred version without bothering to discuss with others.
- I have no desire to carry on any discussion with you: the talk page (or the village pump) was where the talking should have taken place before you breached the bright line known three-revert rule. You have offered no defence for breaching that rule based on ) 14:22, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- While 3RR is a bright-line rule, both sides here are edit warring, and over a very silly issue. I mean, really? Edit warring over a hidden comment? 20:50, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- Both 'sides' may have been edit warring: only one individual has broken the bright-line rule with no defence from any of the 3RRNO criteria. – SchroCat (talk) 20:53, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- If it were up to me, I would block User:Bender235 for the 3RR violation on the hidden comment, unless he will promise to wait for talk page consensus before touching the article again. At this noticeboard we are not ruling on the value of infoboxes. We are just trying to ensure that people follow consensus processes before making contested edits. Since Bender235 has openly broken 3RR, I have the impression that he might be using this article as a test case. Admins should render a clear decision one way or the other. EdJohnston (talk) 21:17, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- @) 21:21, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- The four reverts listed above are all reverts on the text of the hidden comment. My proposal is that you should be blocked for the 3RR violation on the hidden comment. If you create an edit notice echoing the same words, that is your affair, but you are still removing it from the the page text. You need consensus for that. EdJohnston (talk) 21:37, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- Let me get this straight: I am supposed to seek consensus first for moving a hidden message to the edit notice template? Just because SchroCat (talk · contribs) was unable to read the edit summary, where I explained three times that the hidden message has simply been moved? You got to be kidding me.
- Interestingly enough by the way, after SchroCat re-added the redundant comment three times (after I removed it three times), Clpo13 (talk · contribs) removed it again, correctly pointing out that it was, well, redundant. I guess you should tell him, too, he needs consensus first for that edit. --bender235 (talk) 21:43, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- I see clpo13 has now continued the edit warring. FFS, how many people are going to behave so shoddily before action is taken against these disruptive editors? – SchroCat (talk) 21:40, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- Its odd you can have a hissy fit that Giano added the note without agreement or consensus (and one that has not been challenged or questioned in over 8 years) but when you add an official looking notice without agreement or consensus, you are so sure you are in the right that you will go past the bright line to protect it? – SchroCat (talk) 22:51, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- The original addition of the hidden message was not kosher since it created the illusion of consensus on the issue when in fact there had been no prior discussion. Now that Talk:Hannah Primrose, Countess of Rosebery#Infobox proved that you are willing to push the envelope to make this the last holdout against infoboxes on Wikipedia, I concede that the edit notice should remain, and may it just to prevent the next poor sucker from stumbling into this hornets nest. --bender235 (talk) 23:10, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- "
Now that Talk:Hannah Primrose, Countess of Rosebery#Infobox proved that you are willing to push the envelop to make this the last holdout against infoboxes on Wikipedia": I'm not sure what planet you are from, but that's so far away from the truth it beggars belief. Your arrogance in edit warring to retain your version of things (with even less consensus than the previous version had) would raise a big red flag for most editors. It seems you are immune to such obvious signs that you've over stepped basic levels of behaviour and with so little justification. – SchroCat (talk) 23:18, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- Attack me all you want, I'm just gonna ) 23:25, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- Responding to SchroCat above: Yes, Bender has violated the bright-line rule, but edit warring doesn't take three reverts, and you've edit warred as well. That's obvious from the article history, and I would certainly hope whoever handles this report will equally treat all editors who reverted each other over this incredibly trivial notice. ~ Rob13Talk 21:54, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- I'm going to AGF and put your comment down to inexperience as a new admin. He has edit warred with three users: if this was an IP, it would have been blocked some time ago. The fact it's an experienced editor who knows the rules, and still claims he is in the right, despite being badly in the wrong, makes it much, much worse. – SchroCat (talk) 22:51, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- It seems to me that blocks of two of the parties for edit warring would be justified. This could be done, but it doesn't seem likely to bring the dispute to an end, The participants seem to be intensely convinced of the rightness of their respective positions and (I assume) the bad faith of their opponents. It seems unlikely that either party would ever admit they were edit warring. Another option is a period of full protection, taking the article back to an old version (such as August 7th) before the recent infobox warring began. Any admin who has a different idea for closing this should go ahead. EdJohnston (talk) 01:47, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
- I don't understand why you keep insinuating that this was about "infobox warring" when it was about moving a hidden message to edit notice, as I have explained to you above and Gerda Arendt did on your talk page. --bender235 (talk) 01:52, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
- If you believe you have consensus to move material from hidden text into edit notices, please link to where you got support for that. Until then, it counts as a regular revert. EdJohnston (talk) 02:06, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
- Has it really come to a point were a trivial edit like this needs prior consensus on the article's talk page? What's next, do I have to file an RfC before I can label a {{dead link}}?
- The hidden message in question has not even be removed, only moved to the edit notice. Even though deleting it completely would have been equally justified, since as a matter of fact Giano had as much "prior consensus" when he added this 8 years ago as I had
removingmoving it. --bender235 (talk) 03:07, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
- Result: Article protected two weeks, on a version from August 7 that is prior to the beginning of the war. Use the talk page to try to get agreement. Admins can act on edit requests that have consensus. EdJohnston (talk) 03:30, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
- Great job. With your wholesale revert you not only successfully restored an unjustified hidden message that violates
overuse of italics in quotation. I'm surprised you didn't drive this bizarre episode completely ad absurdum and deleted the edit notice as well. --bender235 (talk) 03:54, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
- When dealing with the topic infobox, expect any absurdity. An edit war about a hidden message stat may be invalid seems on the harmless side. - Please, all involved: don't edit war, even if you are sure you are right. WP:BRD is a good idea. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:44, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
- It really is quite funny. You get into all sorts of high-handed fury over Giano's edit "decided ... 8 years ago unilaterally without prior discussion anywhere" and demand its removal, but when you make a decision unilaterally without prior discussion anywhere, it's something the world has to obey without question? (And yours was questioned straight away, it didn't remain untouched and unquestioned for eight years either) Do you not get the irony in the double standards in that one? As Gerda has said, you should have gone to the talk page, not repeatedly warred to your preferred version. – SchroCat (talk) 07:24, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
Summary
I feel like this discussion will go down as one of the most insane chapters in Wikipedia history, so I felt the need to add a time line of these bizarre events before this section goes into the archives.
- I stumbled upon
WP:INVISIBLE since it was "telling others not to perform certain edits to a page", but that's another issue)- So I decided to
Sagaciousphil and SchroCatentered the discussion, both of whom had never contributed to the article before, and joined Giano's general opposition of infoboxes.- It became clear I ran against a wall, so I decided to let go. But before moving on I wanted to fix three minor issues with the article: (i) the inconsistent use of em/en dashes, (ii) an outdated external link by adding {{Jewish Encyclopedia}}, and (iii) moving the aforementioned hidden message from one place (the source code) to a better place (the edit notice) since I felt like it should remain given the apparent consensus on the issue. And that's where the madness started.
- SchroCat kept reverting my contributions without explaining what was wrong with them other than that I was supposedly "edit warring" and approaching 3RR. I eventually did, and ended up on WP:AN/EW. Later Clpo13 removed the now-redundant hidden message from the source code, only to be accused of edit warring by SchroCat as well.
- After a lengthy and insane discussion, EdJohnston closed this noticeboard issue, determining that from now even something as trivial as moving a hidden message from one place to a better one (as Gerda Arendt explained to him on his talk page) needs prior asking for permission from each article's council of elders.
So, that was pretty much it. If I am actually the only one finding this episode utterly bizarre and insane, I lost my faith in Wikipedia. --bender235 (talk) 12:18, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Bender235: You've missed the point by an exceptionally wide margin. As Ed has been attempting to point out to you repeatedly, this is not a dispute resolution noticeboard. We're not litigating or settling the infobox/hidden text wars here. This is a noticeboard for reporting and dealing with edit warring. You did edit war to keep your change in the article, regardless of its merit. Your expected to discuss and gain consensus for your change once its challenged, regardless of whether you think you're right. Everyone in an edit war always thinks they're right. Admins working this board frequently have to decide between blocking the belligerents or protecting the page. Surely you prefer the latter? --Laser brain (talk) 12:29, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
- I understand this was supposed to be dealt as 3RR issue here, and I acknowledge that EdJohnston wanted to end it by protecting the page. However, I disagree with his bottom line explanation above, telling me I needed to "have consensus to move material from hidden text into edit notices." This is pushing it too far. --bender235 (talk) 12:36, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
