This is but one example of User:Wimpus removing material from valid, published sources. Gderrin (talk) 11:37, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

A major problem for editor wimpus is that original language is not english, and his interactions have no sense of negotiation in any way, but simply I am right - you are wrong - and major extensive personal abuse of GDerrin, with no justification apart from the fact that wimpus believes that the commonly used Australian sources are 'wrong'.

The editing community of the Australian biota articles is genuinely exhausted by being told by wimpus that he 'is right' and everyone else is wrong. No other editor has been enlisted by wimpus to collaborate that his specific issues are reasonable and fair. The mission to abuse GDerrin and his sources, is simply incessant and untiring undermining of GDerrin's attempt to continue to produce valid articles from the available sources to the average Australian biota reader or editor. Also with the insistence that etymology align with wimpus's version, exhibits a peculiar understanding of what Australia biota scope is about. It is not to have over-detailed material relative to etymology back into the greek and latin roots. There is a significant volume of Ausrealian biota articles that have sufficient struggles with adequate references, etymology is not the priority of the project. JarrahTree 11:48, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

A few weeks ago, Gderrin requested similaly on this noticeboard administrators to intervene:""Any help with having this editor stop removing reliable sources would be appreciated." However, administrator

There is nothing in the general norms of the Australian editing community that has any necessary conditions that insists upon exhaustive explorations of languages other than english to be dealt with in the detail that you insist that we must know about. Culturally, in some communities you would be seen as a smart arse with the final word for everything, with very limited understanding of the needs of the readers or editors... maybe you should take issue with the databases that we access, the people working on them are paid - maybe you should be combative with them rather than the volunteers here - why not bother them - https://florabase.dpaw.wa.gov.au/ - they even allow your corrections in their pages - https://florabase.dpaw.wa.gov.au/help/fixname/23302. I am sure other australian government databases have opportunities for your to be able to fix etymologies to your hearts desire. JarrahTree 12:17, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

You are not responding to my remarks about whether the massive OR in Gderrin's etymological edits is the norm in "editing community of the Australian biota articles"

Wimpus (talk

) 12:21, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

Gderrin's link in "Previous version reverted to: [8]" perfectly illustrates that Gderrin is misquoting sources and conducts OR.

• "The
  New Latin sepalum meaning "sepal".^[1]
  ^: 695"

1. The source (Brown, 1956, p. 696) writes: "Gr. choris, apart, asunder". "Apart" and "asunder" are adverbs. Gderrin uses this source for: "choris meaning "separate"". "Separate" is not the same word as used by Brown and actually an adjective and not an adverb. So, it seems that Gderrin is misquoting the source. Although "apart" and "asunder" can alo be adjectives, it is clearly intended as adverbs as Greek χωρίς is an adverb.
2. In Brown (1956) we can not find the full compound chorisepala. Gderrin merely uses "to invent one [etymology] by comparing the name of a taxon to a list of Greek words."

By the way, Gderrin never answered the question of Someguy1221 considering his OR-etymologies ("I also have to ask if it is the norm in etymologies to invent one by comparing the name of a taxon to a list of Greek words.")

Wimpus (talk

) 13:29, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

You have a very different way of understanding things, I am not a spokesperson for the Australian editing community or the biota editors and I am not in any way going to speak for GDerrin. cheers. JarrahTree 13:22, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

This is not the first instance of this behavior either. See the two discussions on WP:Tree off Life (October 2018 & august 2019) that have already happened as a result of Wimpus' tendentious editing, not to mention the same situation that is happening on many other articles (Acer castorrivularis, Suciacarpa, where editors dont have the energy to deal with the wheelwarring that wil ensue. A look at user talk:wimpus shows a least 4 instances of 3RR warnings over the last year.--Kevmin § 00:04, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

Kevmin is clearly misquoting sources.

Wimpus (talk

) 01:02, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

In case you do not understand the difference between an adjective rivularis and a noun rivulus (see here), it would be better to first study the difference between Latin adjectives and nouns, before making such edits.

• Also see this archived thread. A meta discussion needs to be held to prevent this from happening.
   — Berean Hunter (talk) 01:05, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

It looks like there are two issues here:

1. A content dispute about the etymology
2. An edit war with the etymology being removed and reinserted

The content dispute is best resolved at the article's talk page, or the talk page of a project, but not ANEW. This noticeboard focuses only on editor conduct—and to that end, things are on pace to see either the article protected or both editors blocked for edit warring. (Yes, both editors: there is no exemption from 3RR in play here.) —C.Fred (talk) 01:09, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

I think the problem is that there are only a handful of people interested in this specific issue, and little chance that they will come to a consensus. It really needs a larger centralized discussion on the general question of whether the OR policy applies to etymology. Someguy1221 (talk) 03:29, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

Hey Somegury1221: Do you want to take the lead as an admin in resolving this? You seem to be familiar with the issue. We might find at least five plant editors to participate in an RfC. Take a look at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tree of Life/Archive 46#Problematic editing on etymologies. In that discussion on 4 August, User:Gderrin stated I wonder if this is an issue that needs to be elevated to a WP:RfC? I think there are at least five editors who would be interested in a resolution.. I hope that a resolution can be found, since otherwise a block of at least one of the parties for long term edit warring might be needed. EdJohnston (talk) 04:14, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

We may find at least five plant editors, but I do think that it is imperative that also editors are participarting that know something about etymology and linguistics. In case you are not familar with Latin and Greek, you might be oblivious to some of the issues being raised and do not see any problems in confusing Greek and Latinized Greek, adjectives and adverbs, adjectives and nouns, nominative and genitive cases, infinitives and participless, et cetera.

@EdJohnston: and others, I'd be happy to help, but I'll leave further thoughts on Ed's talk page since I realize my comment starts to steer outside the scope of this page. Someguy1221 (talk) 09:57, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

• Result:
  User:Wimpus is warned that their changes to plant species etymologies don't seem to enjoy consensus. If they continue to revert at Dasymalla chorisepala or other articles without getting a talk page consensus first they are risking a block for edit warring. Getting a central RfC is one option, but even in its absence, there is no carte blanche for them to continue warring. EdJohnston (talk

• 3RR warning: [link]
• The editor Blanked the 3RR warning - and after multiple requests to come to the talk page to discuss, the editor did not come to the talk page, and instead went forum shopping.

User:ජපස was invited to the discussion on the talk page, and additionally advised to go there in an edit summary, instead the editor reverted with an edit summary of "Nah. You're in the wrong, bucko.)" And then the editor tried to delete the whole ARS project with an immediate MfD which was closed rather quickly.

User:ජපස's actions have been disruptive and the editor refuses to come to discussion. The editor has came to the ARS project page and erased a listing I had made asking for ARS help on an saving an article which is in AfD User:ජපස wants the article deleted. I undid the erasure of my listing with an edit summary inviting the editor to the talk page, but the editor immediately reverted my edit to erase my listing again. I did not want to edit war so I did not undo that action and instead discussed on the talk page. Another editor on the ARS project then reverted User:ජපස's second erasure of my listing. Next User:ජපස returned and refactored the listing (hatting my comments) with no edit summary. Again another editor on the project removed the hatting of my listing. Next User:ජපස reverted again so that my listing was again hatted and left no edit summary. This time I undid the action and placed an edit warring template on User:ජපස's talk page. The editor blanked the warning and instead of discussing on talk page, went forum shopping.

The editor has an extensive block history.

• No violation Apart from the fact that the diffs are spread over four days, the third one is not a revert anyway. This appears to be a disagreement which might better be dealt with elsewhere, perhaps at an admin board. Black Kite (talk) 14:48, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

  He erased someone's comment twice, then twice tried to hide it. Hiding it in the fold down thing so you can't see it, is about the same isn't it? Not hitting the revert button but just erasing everything in their edit time and again, still counts as edit warring doesn't it? Dream Focus 14:52, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

• @Black Kite: doing my best to deal with the disruption and avoid warring, however the editor refuses to drop the stick, and will not come to talk page. In my mind, reporting disruptive editing where an editor repeatedly erases and refactors a listing and then refuses to discuss, is likely the very reason this forum exists. What am I missing here?

Srexfax has been edit warring to stop the page on Zdravko Čolić saying that he is Serbian. Changing the short description from Serbian to either Bosnian or Yugoslav is part of it.

@Toddy1:, @Srexfax:, @Lord Roem:, as uninvolved editor, I will note that, although reported editor (as well as one who filed the report himself) may be guilty of transgression in regard to 3RR, they are right to contest a claim that Z. Čolić is somehow exclusively Serbian singer. He was born in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Yugoslavia, where he lived majority of his adult and professional life, and always considered himself to be Yugoslav singer. He eventually moved to Serbia in 1992, but he certainly still holds both citizenships and passports, probably some property in his hometown of Sarajevo as well, where some of his wider family members also still reside, and which is not only usual practice for people born in Bosnia and moving to various countries to flee from the war but is also something that if you wish to give up you have to specifically and officially demand from the state to release you from unwanted citizenship, and having in mind his high public profile and fame I am certain that we would heard of it - also, we can only speculate that he is Bosnian Serb in ethnic sense, but I never heard him state something like that. Bottom line is: just because Madonna moved to England at some point of her life and career we don't impute our own opinion about her own identity on her by labeling her English singer, or do we?--౪ Santa ౪^99° 18:39, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

Although this is very specific AN, namely for Edit warring, and on User:Ceha reverts (in spite of such notable verdict

(DraconicDark even undid these reverts few times himself), but to no avail.
Multiple page protection across several months couldn't help, editor, after initial panic and attempted pushbacks against protecting sysops, simply waited for protection to expiry only to immediately resume with reverts while crying "vandalism". User Ceha's reverts are usually followed only with consistent abuse of edit-summary per 04:14, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

Addendum- Turkish Croatia article has old multiple template messages which editor Ceha ignores and removes them when he makes his reverts.--౪ Santa ౪^99° 05:37, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

User Santasa is wagging an edit war on that pages, has systematicly removed traces of pre-bosnian history on that pages, and is bluntly broken almost every wikipedia rule. Any mention that that areas belonged to any other feudal state he has declared to be an irridentism and is discussing the topics only through the eyes of 20th and 21st century Bosniak nationalistic politics. To make the matters worse he has declined any talk about his changes, or any changes, or compromise. I anyone can help it would be of great use to entire wikipedia comunity.--Čeha (razgovor) 21:39, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

Although Wikipedia isn't exactly a courtroom, you are still required (by those very "(W)ikipedia rules" you are so willing to mention (but not much more) and for the sake of "entire (w)ikipedia community", for whose well being you are expressing here such a concern) to bring forth some evidence for these brazen accusations, otherwise you are entering dangerous grounds of casting

WP:ASPERSION - and by the way you are straying from the issue, which is 3RR, not details of some content.--౪ Santa ౪^99°

23:43, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

And what is this exactly, are you summoning your crew again ?!--౪ Santa ౪^99° 01:08, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

While I am posting here, and editor Ceha responding with accusations but without any evidence, they are also continuing their reverts (3rd on Donji Kraji) on articles in question. I hope this won't take to long for some input from sentry admin(s).--౪ Santa ౪^99° 03:10, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

Well, it is prety much obvious that you are accusing others for participation in edit war you begun. As I mentioned earlier on this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Turkish_Croatia you are systematicly erasing traces of non-bosnian history in this article. I asked you, again and again for analysis of article changes, but you bluntly refused. You are trying to merge Turkish Croatia with Bosanska Krajina, no matter that Turkish Croatia engulfed larger area. You rewrote historical article in 20th and 21st century context, speaking of a 20th and 21st ideas in medieval times :facepalm: Everything is documented on talk pages (and it is pretty obvious). Do you need there is any need for repetition? The only reason you started accusing on this pages is to win in your edit war... --Čeha (razgovor) 19:36, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

I will wait next 24 hours for links and evidences for these accusations, presented in editor Ceha's last two posts here.--౪ Santa ౪^99° 07:04, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

The story repeats itself again and again. It all started with user Santasa99 who disrupted the article Turkish Croatia ([23], [24]), a long-time more or less stable content [25] of this article, and who began edit warring. Later he alerted admins ([26], [27]) and one of them protected the page, but with problematic content. Then he opened merger discussion. Some other editors reacted to behaviour of the disruptive editor and opposed the merger, giving reasons for that. There has been a significant number of sources from Austria, Hungary, Turkey, Italy, France etc. ([28], [29], [30], [31], [32], [33], [34], [35], [36], [37]) that confirm the notability of the article: Turkish Croatia or Ottoman Croatia was a name for the territory, which (until the Turkish conquest in the sixteenth century) had belonged to the medieval Kingdom of Croatia, and that’s why it had such a name. Donji Kraji is a similar case.

Conclusion:

1. The stable original content of the article „Turkish Croatia“ has a lot of references from independent and reliable sources.
2. The article deals with distant past and not with recent history, e.g. Bosnian War or Croatian War of Independence in the 1990s.
3. It's not a question of any territorial claim here. Someone who views it differently, doesn't do it in good faith.
4. The article refers to the territory which does not overlap with the area of Bosanska Krajina, neither geographically nor chronologically.

--Silverije 22:54, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

1. First and foremost - always check their sources (!);
2. however, more importantly, editor Silverije disrupting this report by discussing content and sources;
3. claim by Silverije that Turkish Croatia was/is stable article is disingenuous and false - editors tried to merge that article three time in span of several years, with User:Joy successfully merging it with Bosanska Krajina first but not without pushback and reverts by Silverije whom Joy had to issue warning for vandalism - Silverije eventually restored article and deleted redirect after waiting for several years for things and other editors to get quiet;
4. editor Silverije is involved editor in previous edit-wars (and one ANi on Turkish Croatia merger canvasing, where he was confronted by uninvolved users) on both articles and they are summoned to discussion in this report by editor Ceha via back-channel;
5. these sources, except one, are irrelevant for the article content - one is from globalsecurity.org (Really ?! Try to include that one into the article.); one is from pinterest.com image storage and social media service (?!); and all others link to few popular 18th to mid-19th century magazines (
   WP:AGEMATTERS
   ), all of which are reiterations of Austria-Venetian military border commission report, one in which commission invented and first started using the term, or actual report published (!); only one linked source is genuine contemporary scholarship but one which actually goes in line with my refutations and with all which I contest in that article, so I too am using it to confirm my own claims, it's a research on early-modern map-making in Austria-Hungary (16th-19th century), nothing more nothing less.

I am pleading with the sentry admins to tag this report concluded / closed if it can't be dealt with, because I would like to peruse pursuit other possibilities and channels in resolving this matter.--౪ Santa ౪^99° 00:57, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

This won't go away if everyone just ignores the problem, at least tag the report as "Declined" so that I can move on and pursuit other options and use different approach.--౪ Santa ౪^99° 16:58, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

• (Non-administrator comment) Just a general comment in that it's not typically a good idea to start multiple discussions about an editor's behavior at different AN pages at the same time. You started
  WP:ANI#Call for immediate block to stop continued disruption by Joseph Rowe less than an hour ago; so, you should try and be a little patient and give others a chance to respond there. Johnuniq actually did respond there and posted a warning at User talk:Joseph Rowe#Warning before you started this AN3 discussion and Joseph Rowe doesn't seem to have edited the article in five hours or so. While your frustration is understandable, it's best to give others a chance to respond so as the avoid anyone mistaking this AN3 being opened at this particular time as being an attempt to pile on and further exacerbate things. -- Marchjuly (talk

Comments:

I added this information from the source Myroslav Shkandrij. (2015) Ukrainian Nationalism: Politics, Ideology, and Literature, 1929-1956. New Haven: Yale University Press pg. 19 : [58].

E-960 removed parts of it (specifically, reference to Jews being victims in the camps, and the words concentration camps) without prior discussion: [59].

I then started a thread on the talk page:[60].

Volunteer Marek did not change the words "concentration camps" despite misgivings but did remove reference to Jews. Another editor, Paul Siebert, didn't have a problem with reference to concentration camps or Jews, but suggested different wording: [61]. No further input from Volunteer Marek.

So based on Paul Siebert's feedback, I changed the wording and added the info:[62].

E-960 changed the wording without consensus [63] and removed it again [64], adding a false edit summary that his version was the original statement (clearly, as we see, it was not. I had written the original statement).

I then added the text plus the full quote from the original source into the reference to make clear that it was supported by the text: [65].

E-960 removed it again: [66].

I then found another reference and included it: [67].

E-960 removed it: [68] with false edit summary about no consent on the talk page for my edit (he was outnumbered 2:1, for what it is worth). As if there was consent for his version.

So one editor has seen no problem with the text I added, E-960 objected to it so he kept reverting. Even after I changed it to match the other's opinion, even after I changed it by adding an additional reference, etc. he kept reverting.

Seeking more opinions, I opened an RFC on this topic: [69]. The contributor concluded here: [70]: "First, the source was quoted not verbatim, so quotation marks are misleading. It uses "supported" in a context of not only military, but "university professors, priests, lawyers and doctors". With respect to interned Jews and other nationalities it says "sympathetic". Second, this source does support this statement, and Jews are mentioned explicitly, partially because their testimonies "described murders and abuse." However, I don't know if this source provides a mainstream viewpoint, or it represents just a minority view. Taking into account that the publisher is very reputable, and that the book was cited in 25 articles, it is likely that it is not a minority view, but further analysis is necessary to confirm that."

On the rfc, E-960 accused me of forum-shopping:[71] and flooded the rfc with off-topic complaints about me.

Then he, the same editor that kept removing information sourced to a book published by Yale University Press, added information (diff:[72]) from a Polish nationalist website: [73]! This strongly suggests that he is biased.

After another editor questioned the words used: [74] E-960 used this as an excuse to blank the entire section without waiting for further discussion: [75].

I added additional information. He reverted it: [76].

I restored the blanked paragraph. He then blanked the entire paragraph again: [77] with false edit summary that there was some sort of consensus not to have the paragraph included.

Basically it comes out to be censorship of any negative information about Poland.Faustian (talk) 13:33, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Comments form E-960:

Ok, per Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle, reverting a new and disputed/contentions edit(s) and conducting a discussion on the article's talk page is not edit warring, but repeatably restoring them is. In each case, user Faustain inserted new material and it was reverted, not only by myself, but by users Volunteer Marek and GizzyCatBella, full history can be seen here [78]. However, user Faustaian restored those disputed edits, drawing a rebuke form users KIENGIR [79] and Volunteer Marek [80] on the article's talk page.

Then user Faustian continued to edit war, and in his comments disparaged some of the editors by calling them "Polish editors" here "two Polish editors should not own wikipedia articles..." Faustian 19:21, 17 November 2019 (UTC) and here "...hopefully Polish editors will not remove?" Faustian 19:08, 17 November 2019‎ (UTC).

Also, here [81] an anonymous IP restored some of the disputed material user Faustian first added, prompting user Volunteer Marek to revert, and to raise concern that this may be a sockpuppet "We can discuss the changes but this is obviously disruptive editing by a SPA sock"[82]. Just now, at 13:35, 21 November 2019 [83] user Faustain initiated this admin complaint about alleged edit warring, and at 13:43, 21 November 2019 [84], proceeded to reinsert the material user Volunteer Marek reverted (which was first added by user Faustian, and than reinserted by an anonymous IP). But, it's everyone else that out of order according to user Faustain, so I'll allow user Faustian's most recent actions to speak for themselves as to who is edit warring. --E-960 (talk) 14:02, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Anon user, who restored the long passage blanked by Volunteer Marek, is not my sock. So it's a false accusation. You keep blanking information prior to the resolution of the issue through discussions that I initiated. I restored it, but did not violate 3RR when doing so. When I open an RFC to get more opinions, you accuse me of forum shopping. You summoned [85] Volunteer Marek, who has an extensive history of edit warring on behalf of Poland [86] and who is even banned from contributing to Poland-related articles during World War II [87], yet accuse me of canvassing. I came to add info I found interesting it it all gets erased by you. Faustian (talk) 14:19, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Faustian, pls recognize that several other editors also raised issue with the validity of your edit(s) and/or behavior, so not just me, but users KIENGIR, Volunteer Marek, GizzyCatBella, Piotrus and on some but not all points Paul Siebert. --E-960 (talk) 14:46, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

It's true that this is not Faustian's sock. That's most likely this banned editor. And it's true that Faustian's restoration of this sock's edits did not violate 3RR ... but his four OTHER reverts did (see below). Volunteer Marek 14:35, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Comment - Diffs #3 and #4 are consecutive edits so that are not two separate reverts. There's no 3RR violation here. Faustian has been around Wikipedia for a long time and has been involved in multiple disputes so they should know that consecutive edits do not constitute separate reverts so presenting them as if they were appears to be a bit bad-faithed to me. What makes this worse is that it appears that Faustian has violated 3RR himself on the article:

• [88] 14:13 Nov 19 ("restored version..." <-- obvious revert)
• [89] 18:07 Nov 19 ("Please do not revert until..." while reverting himself, obvious revert)
• [90] 2:05 Nov 20 ("rv largecale..." <-- obvious revert)
• [91] 12:22 Nov 20 ("(I have restored..." <-- obvious revert)

with an additional 5th revert [92] on 13:43 Nov 21, and a previous revert (which would make it 6) [93] on 22:06 Nov 18. Unlike E-960's edits, these are non-consecutive edits which meet the definition of a revert. So Faustian himself made 4 reverts in less than 24 hours, with two additional reverts very close to 24 hours.

It should be noted that Faustian's proposed edits have been contested by at least three different editors (including myself) on the article itself, with additional two or three editors objecting to some of his edits at least partially on talk. So unlike E-960, who has at least some plausible claim to (partial) consensus, Faustian is edit warring against multiple editors.

This is a

14:31, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

I should also add that I was ready to assume good faith here, until Faustian brought ethnicity into it and started with the whole "Polish editors are this!" "Polish editors are that!". Of course he never brings up his own ethnicity, because, you know, it's only the ethnicity of those who disagree with you that matters (/s). And, perhaps more importantly, NOT all editors who disagree with him are even Polish. When you start judging editors and their edits on the basis of their ethnicity, rather the merit of the edits themselves, you're clearly "discussing editors, not content" and you're approaching

14:38, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

The edits that you called reverts involved adding additional information or references in the hope that they would not be reverted. It was further building of the article. I mentioned ethnicity because the particular editors working together to remove this info are of that ethnicity and seem to be battling on behalf of their country, rather than being neutral. I also note your history of doing so.Faustian (talk) 16:16, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Again, you continue discussing editors rather than content. You assume that other editor's ethnicity determines their views, which is... messed up. You also fail to notice that a similar assumption could be applied to yourself. And now you double up with personal attacks and false accusations (your last claim). I suggest you really stop judging people by their ethnicity cuz that's block worthy in and of itself, even putting aside your 3RR violation. Volunteer Marek 16:18, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

I do not assume ethnicity determines an editor’s content but note that in this case two editors have been battling in favor, so to speak, of this country and one of them has an extensive record of doing so. And somehow these are the ones doing that. I let it go after your comment. For the records, if it matters, I am of mixed ethnicity.Faustian (talk) 16:28, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Again you keep discussing editors and making unsupported allegations. Since we seem to be close to the agreement on this issue (hopefully) how about you withdraw the request in good faith, particularly since it's very likely to

WP:BOOMERANG on you since you're actually the one who broke 3RR not E-960. Volunteer Marek

18:24, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Well that’s the ultimate goal, adding to the project without disruptions and tendentious editing based on whatever personal motivations. The issue does indeed appear to be getting resolved as it should be. I’m not sure what I did violates 3RR (I was not simply reverting but adding more info) but since things are moving forward towards an acceptable solution thanks to the help of various editors I retract this in good faith. Is there a mechanism for doing so? I’m about to go into some meetings and will be offline for awhile.Faustian (talk) 18:58, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

User has not broken the 3RR rule, however, this is not the first time this User has engaged in edit warring activities on the same page regarding the same content, as seen here in the User's talk page history from 4 years ago [99] [100] for which the user received a block [101]. I would have tried more dialogue before making this report but the User seems to have a history of refusing to engage in discussion and edit warring. — ².O.^Boxing 16:12, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

• Page protected Please resolve this on the talk page. Both editors are edit warring here, please consider this a warning. I don't think this falls under the exceptions to 3RR either. Best, Lord Roem ~ (talk) 02:16, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

I believe the only thing that needs resolving is the content being restored.

MOS:BOXING/RECORD

is clear on the matter, regional titles are to be included:

For minor sanctioning bodies without a direct link to their title histories (see list of boxing organisations), or if the title is only a regional one by a major sanctioning body, split the links individually between sanctioning body and weight class:

[[International Boxing Association (professional)|IBA]] [[featherweight]] title

IBA featherweight title

[[World Boxing Association|WBA]] Inter-Continental [[bantamweight]] title

WBA Inter-Continental bantamweight

title

The WBC Continental Americas heavyweight title is a regional title by a major sanctioning body and should not have been removed in the first place, as the User knows. As for a warning, I believe the User's edits were vandalism; "deliberately intended to obstruct or defeat the project's purpose"...seeing as the user has been informed, warned and blocked for removing the exact same content in the past and also stated "Been a member since 2010. Check yourself and your own belt. I know what I'm doing". Do I now need to put in an edit request on the article's talk page for the content to be restored, or is that something you can do as a consensus has already been reached? Thanks. — ².O.^Boxing 02:54, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

• In my opinion, this is a Wikipedia: BRD misuse. The changes are very limited. And I gave my reason on the talk page. The article is easier to consume to someone (like me), who is interested in which units partook in the battle. I was careful not to overload the infobox and i didn't make changes that are very dissimilar to a multitude of Vietnam battle pages. Quenreerer (talk) 12:43, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

User:Quenreerer ignored WP:BRD and only engaged on the Talk Page after edit warring and after I made this complaint. Mztourist (talk) 15:46, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Mztourist accused me of overloading infobox. I feel like i edited in a way very similar to other battle of ... pages. Examples

• Battle of Hamburger Hill
• Normandy landings
• Operation Crimp
• Pointe du Hoc
• Operation Downfall

And numerous other examples. I also gave the reason why i added the info. It's easier to consume. Not every person wants to read the whole article and just wants to take a look at which units participated. Mztourists only source is the bad faith use of BRD, with which he tries to force endless "discussion", with no intent of accepting any arguments. My changes in the infobox have precedent. He can't accept that so he revert wars miss using BRD. Quenreerer (talk) 16:08, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

You guys crack me up. So quick to delete and threaten and no attempt at collaborating. You will notice, if you take the time, that today's edits are each different, each trying to address concern raised. How can it be that legitimate, good faith efforts to address concern raised result into this? what about the policy about dealing with new comers?

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: [165]

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: user:KyleJoan and I have a long history of disputes, just tonight we were disputing citations on the same article so as each of us made an edit or revert on this issue the explanation was provided in the Edit Summary. It wasn't until they told me to report them (in one of the Edit Summaries of a their reverts) and said they didn't care if I did, that they finally made a statement on my talk page. At that time, given our past disputes and the current climate of the interactions, I felt a report was necessary and I didn't revert their last edit to avoid more warring and disruption.

Comments:
This user has 7 blocks for edit warring and violation of 3RR already and is still consistently and actively engaging in edit warring with myself and others. See [166] for another user's warning posted within the last 24 hours. AnAudLife (talk) 09:05, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

The editor reported seem to have an attitude in the article and the editors in the said article. When I reverted his/her edits and I warmed him about it, he "thanked" my edits which I thought was quite passive aggressive. Then he reverted the article to his preference after thanking my edits. He also changed the width size of the wikitable for no reason, which I asked him about it. He used his personal assumption as if certain cast members will appear in the show. I also warned him in his talk page not to edit war/revert and discuss the issue in the talk page, but decided to revert the article again to his preference. TheHotwiki (talk) 09:20, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

• This user has 7 blocks for edit warring . . . False. I have five blocks. The block on February 12, 2018 was a mistake, and the administrator that imposed it personally apologized for it.
• When I reverted his/her edits and I warmed him about it, he "thanked" my edits which I thought was quite passive aggressive. Then he reverted the article to his preference after thanking my edits. Please don't mischaracterize my activities. I did not revert the article after this gesture, and this diff shows that it was a regular edit. If that's unacceptable, then I apologize for recognizing your contribution and altering it to make it more cohesive.
• He also changed the width size of the wikitable for no reason, which I asked him about it. I did this one time, and after learning that there is not a MOS guideline regarding table width, I left it alone in accordance to Hotwiki's preference, so I don't understand why this is being brought up.
• He used his personal assumption as if certain cast members will appear in the show. Please don't mischaracterize my edits. I quipped that the sentence I was referencing made it seem as if there are no one else on the show based on the sentence's structure; it was meant to poke fun at how the wording of the information was misleading.
• I also warned him in his talk page not to edit war/revert and discuss the issue in the talk page, but decided to revert the article again to his preference. All three of us are guilty of this.

For the sake of clarity, I'd like to point out a few edits that by AnAudLife that I find confusing and counterproductive:

Per this edit, AnAudLife reverted an edit by an IP user that said IP user believed removed unsourced information. In their edit summary, AnAudLife stated: According to Bravo, it is confirmed, please see article that is cited, when in fact, the information is not confirmed in the article they referenced; where the information is confirmed is in the three citations that I added that the other two users are so intent on reverting.

AnAudLife reverted an edit that I made to correct the grammatical structure of a sentence and dismissed it as a disruptive edit. I wrote a message on their talk page to resolve the matter and later found that they had deleted my message after stopping their revert of the correction I made. Maybe they knew they were incorrect in their edit and didn't want to admit it?

I implored both AnAudLife and Hotwiki to cite a policy or guideline to support their reverts of the citations that I added, to which both users replied with a suggestion to read Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a newspaper, which is not even an official guideline. I did, however, read the essay, during which I learned that Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia, written from a neutral point of view and based on reliable sources and objectivity, which makes me even more confused as to why they were so against citations of reliable sources. Hotwiki later cited Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section for their one of their recent edits but did not state where in the guideline it says adding citations were problematic/unnecessary. Furthermore, as the article stands, the information at the center of the dispute remains present in the article while unsourced, therefore, we would have to add a ^{[citation needed]} tag . . . or . . . we can restore the citations that confirm that information.

I have cited multiple Wikipedia policies and guidelines in the respective talk page discussions that followed with each user, which you can find here and here, while Hotwiki has referenced one guideline without explanation and AnAudLife has referenced neither a policy nor a guideline, respectively, so please understand that I mean no disruption with my attempt in following said policies and guidelines and inserting citations to verify materials on the article. Thank you for your attention. KyleJoan^talk 13:43, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

The article I cited from Bravo, the network who created and airs the show, they specifically stated Leah McSweeney would be joining the show for season 12. That's pretty clear to me. I made a grammatical change to a completely different sentence and reported user didn't like it so they began the reverting. I made the change first, not them as they've stated. [167] What it boils down to is no matter what or who makes a change to certain pages, user:KyleJoan will always revert and therein lies the problem and it has become excessive. Also, user:KyleJoan denies repeatedly changing table width when I’ve seen them do it SO many times, this is just one instance [168] and given enough time to research I could find more, like this one [169] and this one [170]. They can’t say they don’t keep changing it back to how they want because they do and the evidence is there for anyone who wants to find it, it’s classic edit warring. AnAudLife (talk) 15:27, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Gasp! I changed the table width multiple times without referencing a MOS guideline to support it. Guess what? All three IP users referenced as well as Hotwiki did too. The article I cited from Bravo, the network who created and airs the show, they specifically stated Leah McSweeney would be joining the show for season 12. That's pretty clear to me. Correct. However, the lede and the cast table also mention the rest of the cast for the upcoming season. Which citation in the article supports this material? Please don't keep making me repeat this question. . . . no matter what or who makes a change to certain pages, user:KyleJoan will always revert . . . Can you direct me to these pages? All of the other articles on which I am a prominent contributor, including two good article noms that were successfully promoted within the last two months (i.e., Kenny Omega and The Bold Type), look pretty stable to me. KyleJoan^talk 16:45, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

User:KyleJoan stated, “Gasp! I changed the table width multiple times without referencing a MOS guideline to support it.” So now you admit it when you previously denied it by lying, stating “I did this one time”. I’ve made my report, I’m going to let the administrators deal with you. AnAudLife (talk) 17:03, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

That's my greatest sin? Changing table widths? I guess that means Hotwiki is guilty of the same misconduct–evidenced here and here–too, then, huh? KyleJoan^talk 17:17, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

I stated my reasons for changing width size, which you clearly didn't. That's the difference between our edits. I've asked you about it in the past.[171] Also two editors have accused you of edit warring, The Real Housewives of New York City in less than 24 hours. TheHotwiki (talk) 18:48, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

I stated my reasons for changing width size, which you clearly didn't. I didn't know that one's own reasoning was the universally accepted foundation of correctness. I guess I needed to state my reasons to be as correct as you are. Who needs policies and guidelines when we have reasons? Aside from that, after our discussion regarding the matter, never once did I change the table width again, so why is this still being discussed? Also two editors have accused you of edit warring, The Real Housewives of New York City in less than 24 hours. Anyone can copy and paste templates. I could have done the same, but I knew we were all trying to achieve the most appropriate version of the article. That said, I do not fault either of you for reporting the situation because we could have all done better. KyleJoan^talk 19:11, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

• Protected. Discuss on the talk page in the mean time. Actually, KyleJoan's last "revert" (06:28) isn't one, but they do also have two more in the last 24 hours (04:10, and 09:35 on 24/11) However, since the filer of this report has six reverts in the last 24 hours (23:08 UTC, 02:51, 04:21, 05:46, 05:58, 06:25) the only options are to block both of you, or neither. I have decided on the latter, on the basis that any more issues after the protection has expired will be dealt with seriously. Black Kite (talk) 19:48, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your assistance, Black Kite. I also apologize for any inconvenience this report may have caused. KyleJoan^talk 19:53, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

@Black Kite: I disagree with your "six" reverts number for me in context only. One was correctly done in reply to an incorrect edit done by some IP address. Then two edits on KyleJoan for the citations, which he/she also reverted all of mine. Then 3 edits on KyleJoan for his/her reverting my change to the critical reception which he/she then reverted all. I've never been blocked for edit warring, 3RR's, nothing. KyleJoan is a serial offender of edit warring and breaking the 3RR and yet nothing is done but page protections or blocks that are soon or eventually removed. He/she was told by an admin the last time he/she was blocked for a month that if he/she did it again he/she would be permanently blocked. I guess the rules don't really apply? I literally can't make any edits on Wiki, the few pages I watch, without KyleJoan changing every single edit, no matter what. AnAudLife (talk) 23:58, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Repeated unnecessary differentiation between NXT and NXT UK-branded competitors in Men's and Women's Survivor Series Matches
OfficiallyGoodenough (talk) 03:04, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Adding to this, as someone who watched many of these edits unfold while having the page open during the Survivor Series event, the user in question kept making the same change over and over dozens of times, despite repeated warnings not to, and the changes being made were downright inaccurate at best, spammy and vandalism at worst. By the end of the night, the user started putting laughing-face emojis in the comments of their bad edits. This person clearly is a troll who attempted to vandalize the page, and a look at their user talk page tells me this isn't the first time they've done this. Bobharris1989 (talk) 22:48, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Please review this user's editing history of the page, and if necessary prevent this user from manipulating the biography of a living person to present an author in an unfair, unbalanced image. I've tried to start the article with a lead introduction that presents the authors entire life and corpus of works through neutral eyes, the editor however insists on presenting the author with a skewed view that reflects his personal views on the subject.

I brought it up to the appropriate parties. I posted disruptive editing and 3RR warnings to his talk page, which he ignored. So I did take it to the talk page.

You went way overboard with the reverts. It's not as if the IP was adding anything that is technically vandalism. The current page revision could have been left on the page until an admin came along to resolve. Esuka (talk) 01:20, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

• Result: Semiprotected two months. There is a BLP issue here, since the IP is arguing that the creator of the show is Russell Marcus (a living person) while the sourcing of this claim is questionable. The IP has been busy restoring the claim of Marcus's authorship but has never joined in discussions. You have reported Shawndwu for edit warring but all they are doing is removing the unsourced info. In any case, they did not break 3RR. I don't see any evidence that Shawndwu and the IP are the same person (if so, why would they be reverting each other?).

Comments:
TP round-2 discussion between Flyer and myself was fruitful, so certain level of consensus was achieved, and Flyer included agreed lines into the article. Mhare later accepted sources, arguments and agreed lines. Meanwhile, editor Ceha rejected sources that were brought to this round of discussion, with continuously repeated requested that unsupported content (words, names, and some phrases) be included. At one point editor Ceha simply dismissed agreed changes, reverted to old version of article text, but then continued to edit article with inclusion of new changes, never discussed in TP and unsupported by sources, with addition of some poor choice of wording ("powerful", "briefly", "temporary"), style and English. All this times editor Ceha would regularly appear in TP, maintaining endless loop of same requests and to start again and again, like nothing is happening at article space (enormity of TP testifies to this, with only myself enduring in attempts to achieve something obviously unachievable - Mhare and Flyer are now gone).--౪ Santa ౪^99° 15:10, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Comments:

TL;DR (I really hope this gets read, as I put a lot of time and effort into putting it together as best I can as a novice Wikipedia editor):

1. David has taken it upon himself to blacklist all cryptocurrency/blockchain related secondary sources.
2. David has taken it upon himself to blacklist all cryptocurrency/blockchain related primary sources.
3. David does not engage meaningfully in discussion when attempting to improve the quality of content on cryptocurrency/blockchain related pages.
4. David follows a revert-first policy rather than a discuss-first policy.
5. David does not read and thoughtfully respond to attempts at engagement/education on how an article can be effectively edited to have useful content.
6. David's reverts often cause collateral damage due to
   WP:MEATBOT
   editing.
7. (Personal Conclusion) David is bureaucratically censoring cryptocurrency/blockchain Wikipedia articles by setting up a set of rules that make it impossible to improve those articles.

This problem has been ongoing for some time because the user in question is a Wikipedia administrator, and far more familiar with the technicalities of Wikipedia editing than I am. This, combined with the General Sanctions on the topic in question (thus giving him the power to ban me without process) has caused me to proceed with a great deal of caution. However, I have spent countless hours researching this topic and I am reasonably confident at this point that David Gerard is neither behaving in the best interest of Wikipedia nor are they abiding by Wikipedia editorial standards (and definitely not Administrator standards). This report is likely going to be quite long specifically because David is well versed in Wikipedia bureaucracy and thus any simple/isolated claims will be shot down by him with a technicality (technicalities is what he has been doing all of his reverts based on).

IMO, the strongest example of abuse of revert power is the revert found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Augur_(software)&diff=928228463&oldid=928209979 This is one of the last reversions, so it comes with a lot of backstory behind it, but I want to start here because I think it is a fairly clear cut case of an inappropriate revert and I feel it appropriately sets the tone for basically all of the reverts that have been occurring on that page (and many others) this month.

I removed the quote because, after reading the citation, I found that the cited article did not at all support the claim being made in the article. I proceeded to post to the talk page (in an attempt to avoid yet another revert war) to describe, in detail, why I removed the statement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Augur_(software)#Removal_of_claim_that_CFTC_is_investigating_Augur Sure enough, David almost immediately reverted this edit without any discussion on the talk page first (you'll notice that there is a recurring theme in this discussion where I try to engage with David to resolve the issues but receive almost no engagemet, receiving one sentence copy-paste replies instead). They did post a single short comment on the talk page after reverting my deletion, but IMO their comment clearly shows that they didn't actually read my commentary or the article being cited.

Brief Aside: As a normal Wikipedia editor, this type of behavior is quite frustrating. I understand that I may not be an expert in Wikipedia editorial policy, but when I spend hours crafting an edit, or trying to engage in discussion on how to improve a page and an administrator responds with a one-click reversion and a copy-paste one-line response it is incredibly demoralizing. The editorial condect pages on Wikipedia specifically call out this situation and strongly encourage users to engage rather than just editing over each other, and while "technically" a one-line response is engaging, it isn't _actual_ engagement. There is no attempt being made to improve the article in question, only prevent me (and others) from doing so.

The most common revert reason David has given throughout this issue is "Crypto Sources are not Reliable Sources". Upon inquiring where I can read more about crypto sources being considered not-reliable by Wikipedia standards he told me:

WP:RSP categorises Coindesk as "generally unreliable"; the linked discussions concerning Coinbase detail the problems with crypto sites, note that it's the best of the crypto sites, all the others are actually worse and many are literally pay for play

My understanding of this argument is essentially that "someone mentioned that CoinDesk is the best of the worst in discussion about whether CoinDesk should be allowed, and thus all crypto sites are blacklisted". At this time (and venue) I am not going to try to argue whether crypto sources are reliable or not, but I am challenging the claim that David has the authority to decide which sites are reliable and which are not based on a comment someone made in a discussion about a different source. I believe the proper process for getting all crypto sites labeled as unreliable sources is to engage with the broader community and get a statement included in the Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources page. It is not appropriate to take it upon ones self to label an entire category of sources as unreliable without discussion, even if you are an admin and even if the topic is under General Sanctions (1RR).

The second most common revert reason is "Primary Sources not allowed". Wikipedia has pretty clear guidelines that state that primary sources are allowed in some contexts, with an example of a company describing itself as being an acceptable source. Despite this, David has reverted every single edit that contained a "primary source" (any website related to the project that describes the project).

Along with the problem of applying the "not a reliable source" rule of his own making and "primary sources not allowed" despite Wikipedia guidelines disagreeing, David has shown no attempts to actually improve the article and chooses instead to insta-revert all edits made, including edits that are completely unrelated to what he is trying to revert. For example, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Augur_(software)&diff=926578276&oldid=926567057 is a revert that covers 5 edits by two different people. 3 of the edits I believe are what he calls "unsourced rambling" (a completely non-constructive comment) another was basically a language adjustment to provide clarity to a previously unclear statement, and one was just adding some formal titles to the headerbar. This example is in alignment with his general operating procedure which appears to be:

1. See edit to Augur page.
2. Revert edit to Augur page, site reliable sources and primary sources.
3. If there is any talk, site reliable sources and primary sources again.
4. Goto 1.

The broader problem here is that David appears to believe (supported in the discussion at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Augur_(software)#Opinion) the following:

1. All crypto sources are blacklisted.
2. All primary sources are blacklisted.
3. The rest of Wikipedia's actual rules on sourcing.

Besides the problem of (1) and (2) being out of alignment with Wikipedia editorial policy, due to blockchain projects being referenced in mainstream media only in sensiationalist ways this means that it is impossible to actually describe the Augur project on the Wikipedia page in an encyclopedic way! The only option is to source sensationalist mainstream media news headlines, which IMO should generally not be included on a page outside of a footer section. To put it in another light, imagine if all construction trade magazines, news sites, journals, etc. were blacklisted and you were trying to write an article about a new construction technique. Mainstream media will not describe the technique anywhere, at best you'll get some headline and mention of how much some company raised in their Series A round. If David's process was followed for such a page, then Wikipedia would not get any meaningful content produced.

I am focusing this discussion on Augur, because I feel like there is value in keeping the discussion fairly focused, but this strategy is David's modus operandi when interacting with all blockchain related projects. If you look through his edit history and skip over the mass reversions of The Sun sources, you will find that he has a large number of edits on various blockchain related project pages that are all just reversions, little to no content additions and when he does add content, it is always a negative sensationalist quote from mainstream media (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Monero_(cryptocurrency)&diff=prev&oldid=927107802), never meaningful content that helps flesh out the article with descriptive information about the business/product/technology.

My primary goal with escalating this issue to Administrators' Noticeboard is to try to get to a place where Augur, and other cryptocurrency/blockchain projects', Wikipedia articles can have encyclopedic information about the project, especially any novel solutions they may have.

I have attempted to engage with David on both his user page and the Augur talk page, and a quick perusal of his history suggests others have attempted to engage with him on this same topic in the past as well.

If other administrators would like any additional information, please let me know. I would appreciate it if such requests were not too onerus (in terms of time required to fulfill them), but I am willing to do some amount of leg work to get this issue resolved.

The edits at the top show me removing bad sources on crypto/blockchain articles - which are under severe restrictions (

WP:RSN or possibly asking for more eyes on it at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cryptocurrency

.

thus giving him the power to ban me without process this is incorrect, given I'm involved. I'm on this as an editor, if one who has experience as an editor, and expertise in the actual subject matter so I know my way around that too - David Gerard (talk) 21:22, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Micah71381 I've mentioned it on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cryptocurrency so we can get more uninvolved editors who know the area along - David Gerard (talk

) 21:53, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

WP:GS/Crypto

does not have an impact on what is considered a reliable source. It merely gives extended permission to administrators for exercising swift action and imposes a 1RR rule. There is no mention anywhere on that page about reliable sources for GS/Crypto being different from the rest of Wikipedia.

I brought this to edit warring due to your reversions without meaningful discussion/dialog/engagement, which I believe is the proper course in such a situation. We can separately discuss reliable sources elsewhere, but the primary issue here is that you are censoring all edits to the page (including many of mine) without engaging in meaningful dialog. The only path forward for me at this point would be to revert your reverts, which would be an edit war. Rather than actually have an edit war (which is not healthy for the page), I preferred to skip to arbitration after failing to engage with you on the topic.

• I've indefinitely blocked the user because of the nature of their repeated edits rather than edit-warring per se. If this were simply an edit-war, I would not have blocked at all because the user had zero warnings (edit summaries do not count, especially for new users).--Bbb23 (talk) 14:55, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

Shurbanm (talk) 18:15, 29 November 2019 (UTC)Thank you Doug for the report. That being said I have already put forth clear arguments as to why my additions should be included and you have just ignored them choosing to cite the Wikipedia policy of Undue Weight and alleging I am contravening that by adding this information. In fact if you properly read my arguments you would understand that I am in fact doing this in view of that policy being upheld. As it is it is not as it shows only one POV and one that is not substantiated by any serious analysis whatsoever. What you cover as prevailing opinion is one author's opinion that is limited to 1 paragraph in his book on history of languages. The one I am adding is a substantial research paper which goes in depth on why the tablets in question are in fact language. I am sorry but I am at a loss as to understanding your rationale for excluding this more serious research on the subject and focusing on a more dated and much more limited one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shurbanm (talk • contribs) 18:14, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

Edit warring on another user's User page: not good, particularly after having been warned by User:El C on ANI. Talk about overly invested... ——SN54129 19:05, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

Serial Number 54129, I have self-reverted but calling a terrorists, freedom fighters is extremely offensive especially to me because I know a lot of innocent people who the PKK has killed.--SharabSalam (talk) 19:11, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

@ patrolling admin: since SharabSalam has done the noble thing and reverted to status quo, I won't press the point. @SharabSalam: I appreciate your personal inflexion, and I also respect your losses; it is all to easy on Wikipedia for editors to forget that what we discuss and type have real-world implications and refections. But, honestly, you know as well as I do that we have our own processes to decide what's "right and wrong" in Wikiworld—and edit warring is never one of them  :) ——SN54129 19:20, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

Serial Number 54129, there 28 European countries that designates that PKK as terrorists and the U.S as well. The U.S. president has said that the PKK is probably bigger terrorist threat than ISIS.[237]

Also I dont understand why saying that someone supports Hezbullah is wrong(like in user:Nableezy) while saying that someone supports PKK is right.--SharabSalam (talk) 19:27, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

@Serial Number 54129: Yup. Now please familiarize yourself with other cases around here and you will see why this case was doomed. While it is supposed to cover all edit warring it generally only covers 1RR and 3RR violations. PackMecEng (talk) 16:19, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

Nope. Please familiarize yourself with this board. And in any case, your presence or otherwise is hardly relevant to either the filing or the result. ——SN54129 16:27, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

• Result: Withdrawn by the submitter, Serial Number 54129: "..I won't press the point", above, since the editor self-reverted. I hope that SharabSalam is aware that he is on thin ice.

In the last revert's edit summary it was claimed that it was reverting back to the stable version, but in fact Khirurg added content without consensus. To the request for a self-revert, Khirurg responded with personal attacks [245], [246] (after making personal attacks on the talk page) and with claims that the third diff is not a revert. Khirurg actually readded the same POV with a slight modification, from "perhaps" to "possible". Even the edit summary shows he is undoing another editor's edit "nope, west is crystal clear".

There is no 3RR vio on my part. What there is, is a clique of bullies that tries to control Balkan articles and has repeatedly targeted me with bogus accusations and reports. They leave threatening messages on my talkpage and then complain "muh personal life" after threatening me with fabricated 3RR accusations [252]. They keep showering each other with barnstars [253] [254] [255], and likely coordinate off-wiki, such is the speed with which they coordinate. They have a "good cop/bad cop" routine and claim to want to work with me "as a colleague" but then go block fishing at the first opportunity. That's what there is.

To say, wow, i'm surprised to see this kind of thing from you would have had some faint meaning once, many, many years ago. Instead, in its place only disappointment lingers. As a long term experienced editor one would think that you would know better then to cast

Um, yeah, I suppose my occasional disputes are all theatre in your mind too? I can't even imagine how much time such elaborate plotting would take. Flattering, but no cigar, no

WP:CABAL. Now, as for the 4rr: your first revert removed material added by BATO on the 26th [256], with intermittent edit warring over it involving multiple users-- Ktrimi reverted the part about Slavs and Greeks, you reverted the part about Illyrians. Number two [257] is a revert of my removal of "perhaps" from the content I restored after its deletion (compare : mine [ https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Origin_of_the_Albanians&diff=prev&oldid=928236047]; previous [258]), you then edit war with me again over this point (a rephrase of "perhaps" to "possibly" is not a significant difference in meaning [259], that edit being a revert of [260]). Then, the finale, [261]

, which is a revert of actually multiple edits as you rolled back to your preferred version. Rules are rules

This has got to be one of the most desperate block fishing attempts I have ever had to deal with. On the one hand it's "I am willing to work with you as a colleague", on the other it's "will someone pleeeeeeeeease block this guy". Yeah, you might think that's clever, but it's quite obvious

• I said this before. This is a bizarre report. It is bizarre because the reverting editor admits that he made a sloppy edit after a careless look at the source. Normally, an edit-war is fueled by a fundamental disagreement among the edit-warring editors. If the opposition agrees with your edit, then where is the revert? The argument "rules are rules" sounds robotic and is devoid of editorial integrity. It reminds me of a similar argument: "Brexit means Brexit". See how far that argument helped Mrs. May's career. Dr. K. 18:47, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

• Anyone can go around in ad hominem circles alleging this, that or the other, casting
  WP:ASPERSIONS of other editors here and there to remove the focus from what transpired. In the end this is a report about edit warring at the noticeboard about edit warring. 3rr was violated and there is nothing bizarre about it.Resnjari (talk

It seems that you don't get the point. Robotically repeating the same crap multiple times does not validate your clueless report. It is a characteristic of those espousing empty rhetoric, cf. "Brexit means Brexit". Face it, in your rush to harass your opponent you made an invalid and stale report. The faster you understand this error, the better it will be for you in the long run.

Since you didn't seem to appreciate my "Brexit means Brexit" analogy, I thought I should change the example. Dr. K. 03:56, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

"Brexit" or "fake news" are different topics. That said, every edit warring case has its own set of distinct circumstances.Resnjari (talk) 04:07, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

True, about your last statement. As far as Brexit and fake news, they may indeed be different topics, but they belong in the same category, that of the rise of empty rhetoric. Dr. K. 04:14, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

Empty rhetoric is for those without evidence. If there wasn't any, there would be no report on 3rr violations and i would not be here at the edit warring noticeboard.Resnjari (talk) 04:43, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

Sometimes being a broken record is necessary.

1. . First revert [262] removed material added by BATO [263]
   
2. . Second [264] is a revert of my removal of "perhaps" from the content I restored after its deletion (compare : mine [ https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Origin_of_the_Albanians&diff=prev&oldid=928236047]; previous [265])
   
3. . Third, you reinsert "possibly", which is basically no different from perhaps [266], hence reverting this edit [267]
   
4. . Fourth, you roll back a ton of edits, to your preferred version [268]
   

This is what matters, not if an axis of evil has aligned against you, not if you think others had "racist outbursts" (some Greek guy formalized the idea of hypocrisy to describe a phenomenon, as with formalizing the idea of a right triangle, this is not racist), not if you think your colleagues are

• Stale – I am sure that many people can think of better ways of handling this issue in the future. In lieu of endless reverting, it should be possible to get a focused discussion on several points. In particular, Khirurg's revert of 28 November about the connection between Albanian and Illyrian mythology (based on Stipcevic's book) might be phrased as an RfC, and opened up for discussion. Our article on the Illyrians makes clear that the concept of the Illyrians is very nebulous. This unfortunately means that whenever the name 'Illyrian' comes up in a dispute between people of different present-day loyalties, the debate may continue forever.

But the paragraph in question (about explicit Syrian govt. responsibiity for the gas attack) seems to hang on the words of one anonymous source interviewed by the Deccan Chronicle. If the Chronicle's report came out as long ago as 2017, you might expect that by now other sources may exist that we can use. EdJohnston (talk) 04:55, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

Had previously warned the user (Refer to: [[User talk:EddyCodoZKazamaMrTabohZAMG#Another user has made a complaint about your edits at

]]). However, the user made the same type of edits again and reverting the correct edits made by other editors after a little over a month. Sophiajoanne 09:40, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

The user has deleted the October 13 warning from their talk page (as well as the 3RR notice) but the warning can still be seen here. EdJohnston (talk) 12:44, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

Blocked indefinitely – Instead of responding, the user went ahead and blanked this report, so I'm proceeding with an indef block. They were previously warned but never communicate. The concern back on 13 October was that they were warring to insert wrong information. EdJohnston (talk) 13:09, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
