Comments:
This is the strangest case. Alex The Whovian added a utterly non-controversial set of sub-headings to an episode table that identifies the two parts of Doctor Who Series 7. They were neat, didn't disrupt the table, in keeping with the way the season was organized, and helpful. But for some reason, Theoosmond is determined to remove them. He's claiming no consensus, but has failed to open a discussion the talk page. This editor has been warned numerous times recently, notably by Redrose64 regarding disruptive editing, and displays little understanding of consensus building processes. He has paid little attention to the warnings on his talk page, and continues to demand consensus without engaging in consensus-seeking processes, aside from some brief discussion on Alex's talk page (linked above.) I don't see this improving, especially given the somewhat erratic rationales for removal of the headings (headings!) in his edit summaries. --Drmargi (talk) 16:34, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Has been discussing on talk, but continues to edit war. Dbrodbeck (talk) 01:38, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

The first set of reverts stopped at 3 within a 24 hour span. There are a number of users that will revert without adding to discussion in talk. Some users began contributing to the Talk section about the edit and discussions are ongoing. The second edit shown on January 4th was a minor "who" to "whom" grammar edit with an explanation and substantiation in the Talk section (this edit was designed only to change that specific point of grammar and no content). Ephemerance (talk) 01:45, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

There were, however, three reverts within 24 hr on Jan 2, and, you have been edit warring for a couple of days overall. Please stop it. Dbrodbeck (talk) 01:54, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Ephemerance, you're not "entitled" to 3 reverts. Read WP:EW carefully, particularly the last sentence of the last paragraph of the lead. I'm glad that the edit war has stopped. Please try to lean more heavily on the talk page and establishing consensus in the future, instead of (not in addition to) edit warring. Thanks.   — Jess· Δ♥ 02:08, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

You are allowed up to three reverts within 24 hr. The first edit was for the sake of content. The second edit was a compromise and dealt only with "who" versus "whom." After the three reverts, a discussion has been ongoing in the Talk section and no further edits relevant to the proposed content has been reintroduced by myself. Perhaps if some of the regular users in the atheism section would choose to discuss or compromise on changes (as outlined in Wikipedia's dispute resolution policy) instead of mindlessly reverting and ignoring the Talk section there would a mutually agreeable understanding. It's not my intention to break wiki policy. There are legitimate changes that I feel are necessary for the neutrality and correctness of the article. Ephemerance (talk) 02:21, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Blocked – 24 hours for long-term edit warring. The user has made no promise to stop (he thinks he is correct) so it sounds like this behavior is likely to continue. A sincere belief that you are right is not a defence to a charge of edit warring. EdJohnston (talk) 02:35, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

The situation at this article is completely out of control. All work by established editors has essentially come to a grinding halt as a revolving door of IP editors and SPAs on both extremes of this debate both vandalize and sanitize this article every few seconds to minutes.

see strong warning to this user at end of linked discussion above.

Comments:

This user does not like the SCW &ISIL Discretionary Sanctions, and has voiced this on the talk page. I believe today is the 4th time they have removed the template. These sanctions exist and serve a good purpose in controlling POV editor, especially one pushing terrorist ideology or conspiracy theories. The article is about an ISIL attack. All editors deserve to be warned about the DS, making this edit's repeated removal of the DS notification template and his mocking comments towards admins in summaries quite disruptive. While the edit warring is long term, a possible good application of these very DS against the user is in order? Legacypac (talk) 21:48, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

I remain committed to the fact that the Paris attack has nothing to do with the Syrian Civil War for which the sanctions were designed. Rules are not the purpose of Wikipedia per WP:KISS. -- Kendrick7^talk 01:12, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

The editor should seem to also exclude anything about ISIL in Iraq, Libya, Egypt, Afganistan and the list goes on. Editing in the ISIL topic area requires WP:COMPETENCE which appears to be an issue here. Legacypac (talk) 04:26, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

See an earlier dispute of the same issue at: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RRArchive301#User:Kendrick7 reported by User:Legacypac (Result: Withdrawn). On that occasion, User:Legacypac withdrew the edit warring report on the basis that User:Kendrick7 had decided to drop the matter (See Kendrick7's answer in that complaint). If Kendrick7 has reversed his earlier decision it may be time to reopen the question of his edit warring about the sanctions banner. EdJohnston (talk) 04:34, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

There's little in the way of discussion from either user. The above is just the "highlights" of this edit war - I count no fewer than nine back-and-forth reverts between 18:37 and 19:24. There is an attempt to start discussions on the article's talkpage, which both users then choose to ignore. FF's block log speaks for itself as does the history log of the article in question. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 10:33, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Comments:
I used the article's talk page repeatedly - pinging the other user - as well as their talk page, with no response on either, and I was only removing an erroneous AKA that they added. I asked them repeatedly to comply with WP:BRD and requested they stopped edit warring on their talk page. It ended after a couple of extremely childish retorts from the other user, and the page has been fake-AKA-free since. Of course, if reverting vandalism on top of the information given above still qualifies as edit warring (I'm unclear on this) I will pledge not to engage in such a situation again and instead take it straight to this complaints board. Please let me know. Cheers and Happy New Year - especially to you, Lugnuts. Film Fan 17:11, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

By repeatedly you mean once? Or three times if you count correcting your own errors. The inital talkpage post was made at 18:56. The article history shows you made six reverts after that in approx. 20 minutes, with a further three reverts before going to the talkpage. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 17:57, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

In this particular case, by "repeatedly" I mean three times - four including the personal talk page message. And I left the first talk page message after the first revert on January 1. If you are able to answer my question above I'd be grateful, so that I can avoid such accusations in the future and peacefully contribute to Wikipedia with the clarification I seek re reverting vandalism. Cheers. And please don't hate me. I think it's time are feud ends. Grudges do no one any good. Film Fan 19:38, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

First Film Fan you have been around long enough to know the difference between vandalism and a content dispute which is what this is. You were removing sourced info added by Serivjip. Next you have pledged in the past to "not engage in a situation involving edit warring" - to Diannaa among others. A few weeks or months go by and then the behavior happens again so what assurance can you give that you aren't just saying this to avoid a block. MarnetteD|Talk 01:25, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

I suppose here isn't the place to rip those sources to shreds. My assurance is what I posted above. But to add to that, I can say that instead of judging for myself what vandalism is, in the future if I revert something of that nature (or indeed anything) that is then re-instated without any attempt from the other user to engage in a conversation despite my efforts, I will report it instead of trying to undo it. I haven't had this particular kind of situation before and although I haven't yet had my question answered, I'm getting the inclination that I should have brought this issue here after the ignored talk page comments and before the reverts clocked up. So my assurance is this: I will report instead of getting involved in what I judge to be disruptive editing. Even if an edit screams "bullsh*t" and the other user is blatantly ignoring protocol, I'll let admins deal with it. The truth is I wanted to deal with it myself to save admins the time and effort, believing I was actually doing the community a favour, but I was wrong, and at this point there couldn't possibly be any more kinds of situations that might be deemed by some to be disruptive editing that I could be unaware or unclear about. I take from this that no matter who made the first move, the first revert, the falsest misinformation, etc., WP:BRD will zap both sides. That's what I know now, and that's how I assure you there isn't a chance in hell I could find myself in this situation again. And I'd like to finish by saying I bring many productive edits to Wikipedia which benefit the community, and, like all of us, I'm still learning. Cheers. Film Fan 02:00, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

User:Film Fan has been blocked 12 times in the past, for durations as long as a month which makes me question whether this good resolution will be followed in practice. But this might be closed without a block if he will agree to a voluntary WP:1RR restriction on all editing. EdJohnston (talk) 14:54, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

I'd like to point out that most of the blocks only happened because of previous blocks (you never get a chance at a clean slate at Wikipedia) and because of one particular user who holds a grudge. But I can agree to 1RR. Film Fan 15:11, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

• Result: User:Film Fan has agreed to accept a personal WP:1RR restriction on all pages. Though it's voluntarily accepted, this restriction can be enforced by blocks.

Article content is under discussion here. Perene appears not to have contributed there. Ghmyrtle (talk) 13:22, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

If the article can't be ever edited anymore, then lock it for everyone. That's what I call fairness. Is anyone barred from trying to make valid contributions? You are removing 100% of what I inserted, so it is you that are completely wrong. I don't deserve any punishment. If there are mistakes in what I published, fix them, bit by bit, instead of reverting the whole thing and vanishing with everything. This isn't very encyclopedic from your part, it seems to me you are all following an agenda.Perene (talk) 13:26, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

The "agenda" is this. Ghmyrtle (talk) 13:32, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

This is what is actually happening here. You simply refuse to fix this article and wants your biased, polite and carefully-devised-filled-with-feminist-propaganda-version suited for the media interests to prevail. Like I said, this isn't encyclopedic, you aren't doing any of those edits to fix anything, you are removing the WHOLE CONTRIBUTION and you all have a clear agenda to me. Wikipedia is the best disinformation tool ever created thanks to people like you, who have nothing better to do besides bullying users who don't side with your views and spoiling what could have been good articles. This is exactly why the number of valuable contributors has decreased over the years and no one in his right mind takes this site seriously. Once again: the article isn't preventing registered users from editing, so if you are going to punish contributions, then lock it 100% until you decide when and how it should be edited. Referring to endless blather in the TALK pages isn't going to cut it. It's just another ploy.Perene (talk) 15:32, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

User:Perene is still at it. This appears to be a case of WP:DIDN'THEARTHAT with a side-order of WP:RGW. I've given them a warning about WP:3RR, and reverted their latest edit.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [26] - the article was full-protected and when the protection expired a one revert per 24 hours rule was imposed by administrator User:KrakatoaKatie. The 1RR was broken by User:KIENGIR today.

Comments:
There is a dispute that is taking place on several articles. User:KIENGIR was also involved in edit wars on the same topic at Austrian Empire (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) and Kingdom of Hungary (1526–1867) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs). 123Steller (talk) 09:33, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Basically the whole thing began here. USER:KIENGIR reintroduced text (with some adaptations by himself) that was removed in May of this year after a lengthy discussion, in which I and user:82.119.98.162 and user:Prudoncty and at least two other anonymous editors took part. We removed the text that was partly written by user:prudoncty and with some adaptations restored text that I had added back in 2009. On the 23. December KIENGIR reintroduced the removed text for reasons I fail to understand. Another problematic aspect is that the text was partly authored by Prudoncty, a confirmed sockpuppet of blocked user:Stubes99. This means that there is a WP:DENY aspect involved in this case. Of course the conflict is a spillover from the conflicts at Austrian Empire and Kingdom of Hungary (1526–1867). What makes KIENGIR's actions even more difficult to understand is that yesterday evening, KIENGIR and I actually agreed on text for the Hungary article and are (the way I see it) on the verge of agreeing on text for the Austrian Empire article as well. Why go on with text that we have now both decided to remove from other articles here on this one? Frankly I've been baffled by the way this user operates, for some time now! On his most recent revert User:KIENGIR wrote: "If you are debating an edit, before changing it you have to reach consensus first, so long keep the article unharmed and follow DR". Shouldn't he have thought about that on the 23d of December, while this matter was already going on concerning the other two articles, before reintroducing the removed text on the article involved here? Gerard von Hebel (talk) 14:33, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

I have now wrote to User:KIENGIR on this matter here. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 14:59, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Blocked – 48 hours. EdJohnston (talk) 15:57, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Collapsing some post-close comments by User:KIENGIR. It's unlikely you will get any admin attention for this, though WP:ANI is theoretically open to you. It is more useful for you to persuade the other editors on the talk page. EdJohnston (talk) 18:55, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
My punishment has been expired, so I'll take the chance for a reaction: I am sorry, braking 1rr was not willful, although not any Administrators reacted directly my question, I came to realize regardless of my current time any edit will be registered with UTC(+0). If Gerard von Hebel would give totally accurate information to the Administrator's he would mention these and/or write these instead of what he have written: - Regarding the Austrian Empire page, Hebel had 8 contributions vs 5 (me), regarding the Kingdom of Hungary 1526-1867 article it was 2 vs 2. Barely to be able call it as an edit war, since 3RR, the bright line was not broken. Moreover the definition of edit warring clearly states: Reverting vandalism is not edit warring. However, editing from a slanted point of view, general insertion or removal of material, or other good-faith changes are not considered vandalism. He should have say only in those two pages we started to debate on the content but the debate took place in the talk pages, and since I or anyone having a counter opinion did not edited the page after that, but Hebel in the Austrian Empire article - and also the Austro-Hungarian compromise of 1867 - still made edits during the discussion that is against the "status quo ante" policy regarding BRD. - Regarding the Austro-Hungarian compromise of 1867 article I made clear the referred consensus I don't see on the talkpage and also I did not revert anyone's edit and I added a new & modified content thus Hebel does not tell here the truth if I'd reinstate something that was removed earlier by "consensus" (even if some parts may be identical partly, but we speak about more and longer material regarding different pharagraphs). I could again raise what kind of "consensus" is that is made by some "IP Addresses" that - maybe with one exception this case - are totally not neutral and act as a support against any Hungary related case. In any relevant resolution at least more users or Administrators from both sides, by an ANI discussion, even involving Wikiproject's should be carried out and then we can speak about real consensus. - Hebel was informed on more pages about the reasons since if a matter is heavily discussed this is truly that, not any surprise should catch him unexpected. Despite, that is again a non-good faith act from Hebel he again referring to banned sockpuppet's but at the same time he silences about - that was already cleared by our discussion on his talk page - that the original text was introduced by user Fakirbakir - Hebel told me this on his own, and I supported/support always Fakirbakir's version and interpretation, and not any sockpuppet's interpretation. So his "concerns" stress patterned to wash again the things together with the fear of sockpuppet's, but meanwhile not mentioning the importance of the totally different root cause and approach concern's me as a way to distract Administrators! - Hebel puts more oil on the fire by again with a non-good faith allusion that after we reached consensus on one page after I would reintroduce something against in an other page, that is a totally false approach as mentioned above, since the three pages may have contain similar details or undoubtedly similar or simetimes identical contents are debated, but every article should be judged on his own, and I asked him too keep the rules of fair play and at least on that page he should not introduce any revert policy and respect the "status quo ante" principle, that more of us did on the other two pages. - "Why go on with text that we have now both decided to remove from other articles here on this one? Frankly I've been baffled by the way this user operates, for some time now!" -> such kind of manifestations and the latter part until the end is again more oil onthe fire based on a false premise, since as it was told the three pages may contain some identical or similar content, but it can be easily checked my edit was not restricted to such a thing, I added a content that was practically never the part of the other article, similar version could be only found only in the talk pages details per discussion. So Hebel's continous stress pattern on something that clearly not happened is again concerns me very much since Administrators have been again distracted! To say nothing of such "baffles" we have met regarding Hebel if we carefully check since 2009 his discussions up to recent times that he clearly denies some things he cannot deny anymore diluted with confusion, lack of accurate information a fixa idea seem like struggle with many false interpretation of the sources. However, a clear evolution we saw in a good way, it is still haunting after more proofs and demonstration he acted still not to understand things or regard the other party as a fool, and our good sense needed also to accept i.e. the first consensus where almost 90% of the material was his text and still regarding the clear statement of the sources he tends to avoid some things to mention he does not like. - Finally, I am aware of not all Administrators will read all the content of the talk pages'/edit's content or make a total accurate check on Hebel's claims, and unfortunately they act without really checking the situation in the whole. Since by mistake a broke 1RR, I acknowledge the cause now is secondary and I get the punishment, but I urge all Administrator's to carefully check in the future even the reporters/accusers statements before quickly believing all content. Why other's were not punished by continously reverting my edit - check history -? Maybe the answer would be not braking 1RR or 3RR or also outside any time limit the number of reverts would be the answer, since the opposing parties more reverts was distributed among an IP address and a user that joined Wikipedia and created an account especially to join our debate...interesting, yes? - I think if I'd revert anything in the future - even those contents that were added obviously meanwhile/after the the ongoing resolution - again I would be punished - although not such additions contributed by Hebel in the three articles were reverted by me - that concerns me because not any user can act in such a way that he has the right anytime to add and revert without consequence, but if other's would be just partly do such an act with not an equal weight, that is immediately reported, accused and arbitrated. Unfortunately I sense double measure in many cases, though I will follow and co-operate to also resolve the remaning two article's. Not any IP adresses or on-the-fly created users supporting me, I can count only user Fakirbakir, who is a polite and well-experienced Wikipedian and will not be involved in some revert/edit attack compromise.(KIENGIR (talk) 17:20, 5 January 2016 (UTC))

Motoe123 persists in changing the statistics sourced to reputable publishers such as the BBC and Eurosport so that they match his preferred blog. It has been pointed out that non-professional blogs are not reliable sources and he has been warned by two administrators about his actions. He refuses to engage on the talk page. The article came out of protection a few days ago and unfortunately the activity has resumed. Motoe hasn't technically violated 3RR, but I am filing the case due to the fact he has been explicitly warned by an admin and he refuses to engage on the talk page.

Edit-war between User:Vellusammy and User:Xenophrenic (Result: No action, please file a standard report)

I am a new editor and I'm not sure if this is the place to report these two users. They have been edit-warring between each other since a relatively long time. They have edit warred in List of wars by death toll and List of wars and anthropogenic disasters by death toll. They keep reverting each other all time. [35] and [36] It's also important that User:Xenophrenic has been blocked seven times in the past, while User:Vellusammy created his account on 2 September 2015 and since then has edited only these two articles. This means he has edit warred in all (two) articles he has contributed to.Lostrigot (talk) 19:22, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Persistently removing properly sourced info and yelling at me that it is false. I have warned them for adding unsourced material (since there is no warning for removing properly sourced material) and harassing me with sharply worded comments on their talk page. They are removing information from a web source that has changed since it was cited, and saying that it does not contain that information before. I don't think they realize that the access date of a web source is important. BoxOfChickens (talk · contribs · CSD/ProD log) 19:31, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

I have placed the multiple final warnings because the behavior has been continued and he has continued to yell at me. I started using large bold text in order to differentiate my comments from the many unsigned comments and warnings on the editor's talk page. I am trying to remain calm and handle this issue in a civil manner. I apologize if my attempts to warn the user and get them to understand the concept that websites are updated for many reasons other than to remove false information make it appear that I am being uncivil.

They have been edit-warring between each other since a relatively long time. They have edit warred in List of wars by death toll and List of wars and anthropogenic disasters by death toll. They keep reverting each other all time. [72] and [73] It's also important that User:Xenophrenic has been blocked seven times in the past, while User:Vellusammy created his account on 2 September 2015 and since then has edited only these two articles. This means he has edit warred in all (two) articles he has contributed to.Lostrigot (talk) 21:06, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

(This is a duplicate of this report filed just above.) There was indeed a lot of hectic back and forth on those two articles between myself and the SPA, but all remaining editing concerns were hammered out and resolved (both in-article and on the Talk page) a couple days ago. I haven't touched the article since then. (I'll reserve comment about a 4-day old account with fewer than 50 edits filing AN3 reports and templating editors.) Regards, Xenophrenic (talk) 22:20, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Xenophrenic has explained more about his use of reverts for record-keeping on my talk page. I share his view that this is 'not optimal' and am wondering if this report should be closed with warnings to both parties. We don't usually sanction for wars that have stopped, assuming they have really stopped. EdJohnston (talk) 05:19, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

• Result: Both User:Vellusammy and User:Xenophrenic are warned. At Talk:List of wars by death toll there is over 100,000 bytes of discussion with only the two of you participating. At the same time, both of you keep reverting on the article itself. This is not good. If the two of you have strong feelings about this article you need to get opinions from more people. Consider WP:DRN or WT:MILHIST. If you just keep reverting each other (week after week) blocks will be logical. EdJohnston (talk) 17:46, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:Talk:Koshare_Indian_Dancers#NPOV_Noticeboard_posting

Comments:
The article when I encountered it before Christmas had not been edited significantly since 2009, and had content drawn primarily from the Koshare's own website or from travel websites promoting the Museum and Dancers as an educational and entertainment attraction. Also, many of the links were dead so the information could not be verified. My research into Native American issues produced references to this topic, so I added them but also placed a NPOV tag to generate discussion, but none occurred. After a reasonable time I made changes, many of which were aimed at reducing the article to its essentials in preparation for implementing the merge with Koshare Indian Museum. That merge had been discussed and appeared to have been agreed upon in 2009 but never done. This editing eventually brought the attention of Kintetsubuffalo, who began by reverting or changing my content without discussion. His edit comments generally indicated his assumption of ownership of the article and assumption of bad faith in my edits. Eventually a section was created that presented the Native American content, and I thought the situation had stabilized. However I has unsatisfied with the wording on my summary of the content based upon the book Playing Indian by Philip J. Deloria, which seemed mealy-mouthed. Finding a synopsis of the book on the publisher's website, I added a forthright statement of the author's viewpoint on white people playing Indian in general. The book also refers to the Koshare Indian Dancers in particular, so this is not OR. It provides a context for the other Native American content based upon the writings of one of the best-known scholars on the subject. This prompted the edit war and an increase in the personal attacks and insults by Kintetsubuffalo that had previously prevented any useful discussion.FriendlyFred (talk) 22:20, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

• Blocked – for a period of 24 hours Spacecowboy420, Dennis is correct. Your first change is your first revert for purposes of 3RR. You then decided to revert three more times for a total of four. One of the diffs you provided that Dennis made is not a revert of this content, and does not count toward 3RR for this incident. And can I just tell both of you that this one might qualify for WP:LAME? Good grief. Katie^talk 21:24, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
  • @KrakatoaKatie:, User:72bikers has [102] now reverted a fifth time. Apparently Spacecowboy420 is following me around to revert anything I do (this is how he decided he was interested in XR-750 to begin with), and 72bikers is following Spacecowboy420 around to support him. Be that as it may, obviously this is a 3RR violations by proxy. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 21:45, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
    • The article has now been fully protected, but 72bikers is still in violation of 3RR and it's clear these two editors are stalking and hounding for the purpose of being disruptive, and carrying on a personal grudge.

User Darlow has reverted 8 different editors a total of 11 times over the past year, including 4 5 6 reverts within the past 24 hours so far. They have been told they are edit warring multiple times, and an ANI was opened roughly a week ago for their breach of WP:DDE, to no avail.

5. 03:11, 8 January 2016
6. 03:28, 8 January 2016

The User has been told they are edit warring numerous times on the talk page. As well, an ANI was started for Darlow's repeated violation of WP:DDE ("persistently editing a page or set of pages with information which is not verifiable") 31 December 2015. Darlow has done two more reverts since he was warned of this edit warring notice.

Users Trackratte, Ninteyone, and Miesianiacal have all discussed this at the Talk page on multiple occasions, however it still remains unclear as to what User Darlow's objections are as they state they agree with the sources and facts, and want something similar in the lead as the other editors are proposing, yet continues to simply revert any other editors attempts to add verifiable sources (eight different editors being reverted to date) replacing sourced information with unsourced material, instead of any attempt to work collaboratively.

Comments:
Given that the user has been simply reverting any other editor's attempts at making this article verifiable at an increasing rate, the latest being four reverts in a single day, and refuses to work collaboratively to improve the article and actively works against its verifiability, the user should be topic banned from this article for a given period at the very least. Particularly as they have been informed of edit warring and WP:DDE on multiple occasions (including an ongoing ANI) to absolutely no effect. trackratte (talk) 02:51, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

This complaint is quite obviously vexatious. I have repeatedly requested (and latterly insisted) that attempts should be made to resolve differences of opinion about controversial changes to the article in Talk BEFORE making any edits to the article in order not to degrade article quality. User Trackratte has consistently refused to engage with points raised in any meaningful way and instead has (a) ignored specific requests to discuss the article content and seek agreement from other editors prior to making changes (b) has chosen to seize upon every excuse to escalate our disagreement rather than attempt to find ways to resolve our differences in good faith. The fundamental problem is that Trackratte will not (for whatever reason) acknowledge that we have a duty to draw a line between the symbolic function of a monarch in a modern democracy and the practical reality that they do not wield any real power. Noel darlow (talk) 03:25, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

When you've reverted six times against three editors in less than 24 hours, this notice is not vexatious in the least. The rest of your complaint is smoke and mirrors to distract from the facts that content was discussed on the talk page, a proposal was made to which you didn't express objection, and you've persistently reverted the implementation of it, justifying that by claiming it hasn't been discussed. Additionally, you're deliberately confusing matters further with contradiction: you have been arguing at talk that you have a problem with wording, and not with the sourced facts, while "solving" the supposed problem with composition by just repeatedly reverting to delete the sourced facts and stating the matter needs to be discussed. It's a cyclical trap that prevents change, though you dress it up as the proper way to do things. --₪ MIESIANIACAL 03:47, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

You are deliberately misrepresenting my actions. I have attempted to maintain the integrity of the article by reverting what appear to me to be retrograde edits at the same time as (repeatedly...) suggesting a reasonable process by which we might attempt to resolve any differences - ie discussion and agreement prior to making changes to the article. You are welcome to continue to waste my time, your own time, and the Wikipedia admins' time as you see fit but the fact remains that sooner or later you, and others, will have to put away your smokescreen of grievance and deal with real issues which have been clearly expressed. The issue is primarily not about article content but about possessing the good faith necessary to resolve a disagreement. That is the first step you must take before we can even begin to discuss the real meat of any apparent disagreements. Noel darlow (talk) 04:19, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Your chronic revert warring is the issue at the moment. --₪ MIESIANIACAL 04:22, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Darlow, you have reverted the same additions from eight different editors to date, deleting references and inserting unsourced material. You have done a total of roughly 14 reverts on the same topic, 6 of which have been in the past 24 hours, with 8 different editors in contradiction of WP:3RR and WP:DE. This has been an ongoing problem by you for well over a year now, and the number of editors involved shows that this is certainly not an isolated event, so please don't try and play the victim and pretend that it is. trackratte (talk) 03:55, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

My name is not "Darlow". You can call me Noel if you like, or Noel Darlow, or Mr Darlow if you prefer. I believe I have good reason to attempt to preserve the integrity of the article while we discuss possible changes. As you are very well aware, the proper place to thrash this out is in the article Talk. If you were willing to have a real discussion where you meaningfully engage with other points of view we could perhaps reach a conclusion and then consider what changes ought to be made to the article. Based on your actions to date, I am not convinced that you are willing to do this but I'd be delighted to be proved wrong. Noel darlow (talk) 04:19, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Something was thrashed out at talk. Rather than express any objection there, you reverted its implementation six times.

You had the option to edit the article to accommodate the sourced material in a fashion you think is better and then see how others reacted to that. You chose instead to revert to delete the sourced material.

There's no getting around any of that. --₪ MIESIANIACAL 04:25, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

In fact there has been no real discussion of the point at issue (how to present practical realities and legal technicalities in a non-confusing way) just denial and accusations of edit warring. I honestly don't know what you expect to achieve with your aggressive behaviour. Noel darlow (talk) 04:33, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

A few notes to the investigating admin:

1. The 'warning' cited above was given after I made my 3rd revert, so it had little value as a warning. I was reported exactly 14 minutes later, before I had time to respond to it.
2. I made the 3rd revert without realizing I made a mistake at that moment. I would not deliberately break such a rule, and I have since self-reverted that 3rd revert.
3. On my talk page, in User talk:Gap9551#3RR and User talk:Gap9551#Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion, I have explained my actions in more detail. You don't have to be concerned about further edit warring. Thanks, Gap9551 (talk) 16:13, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

I was not involved in the dispute. Axxion conducted edit war with other users without any talking [132].

Comments:
Axxion continued edit warring (5th revert) even after receiving a 3RR warning from me [133].

There are community sanctions in this subject area. They tell: "reverts of edits made by anonymous IP editors that are not vandalism are exempt from 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring." This is a clear 3RR violation, "subject to the usual rules on edit warring". My very best wishes (talk) 21:01, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

• The situation is partly misrepresented by the disguised editor (administrator) above: my deletion (twice such as this) of my own text (it had been me who had put it there in the first place) sourced by CNN article (should I cross myself while typing it?) was due to a sheer duplication of this bit: it was still there, at the top of the section. Other sources are referencing Twitter. Is it RS now? So what is written above is part misrepresentation (through overlooking, i suppose), part misinterpretation. The real problem is that the article continues to be vandalised by IPs as evidenced by the latest blankings, etc. It should be semi-protected, like all other Syria-related ones.Axxxion (talk) 14:53, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

• @Axxxion: What "disguised (administrator) above"? My very best wishes is not an administrator. For the moment, all I've done is place a sanctions notice on the Talk page and notify TheWikiManRules, a new user, of the sanctions. Axxxion was notified in December 2015, although the notification wasn't done with the proper template or recorded at WP:GS/SCW&ISIL. Still, I don't think they can reasonably say they were unaware of the sanctions.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:18, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

I find the whole discussion misguided, if not farcical: Is our purpose to create good articles, or be continuously engaged in meaningless squabbles? It is quite clear that for the sake of the former, the article needs protection. As for " My very best wishes", I honestly do not know what this creature is. Another feature of meaningless overzealous policing of the WP: it has become too complicated to navigate: one needs to hire a specialised lawyer to suss things out.Axxxion (talk) 15:30, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Don't call another editor a "creature"; it's absolutely offensive.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:00, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Comments:

The personal dispute between these two editors dates back at least a year, see this rather distasteful comment from December 2014. With comments like this one, or this AIV report, to say nothing of edit summaries of the edits linked above, it's clear that neither of these editors is capable of engaging in discussion without accusing the other of misconduct. As such, I propose that the page be protected and both users blocked so that calmer heads may sort this mess out. Its worth noting that both editors have previous warnings for edit warring in other incidents. SupernovaeIA has a previous block for edit warring. Finally, a third editor involved in this dispute User:Alexiulian25 has been blocked indefinitely, mostly for behaviours unrelated to this. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:48, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the very lengthy statement. However you seem to fail to see what the consensus was for that particular article. I was simply restoring it to the accepted consensus version. If you trace back the archives of this article's talk, you will easily find what went on. SupernovaeIA (talk) 18:16, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

This user is with all due respect a Nepali sock puppet who is using several usernames and a IP originating from Nepal. He is identical to the user "2001:620:d:4ad2::323". At least his disruptive edits are that. This individual is removing sourced material at will due to his bias. It obvious that he is a biased Real Madrid fan hellbent on disrupting data/information about FC Barcelona.

He is disrupting the consensus in the "Football records in Spain" page which has been upheld for years. Now he is removing sourced material and the reference that I have added directly from FIFA.com (highest football authority in the world) which confirms that the Inter-Cities-Fairs Cup is recognized by FIFA as a major football honor. Moreover UEFA themselves recognizes it as the predecessor of the now defunct UEFA cup. In order for a trophy to be recognized as official in the "football records in Spain" page, RFEF, UEFA or FIFA has to recognize the trophy as official. In the case of the Inter-Cities-Fairs Cup FIFA recognizes this trophy thus it must be included. Organizations such as the RSSSF and Association of Football Statisticians also recognize the Inter-Cities-Fairs Cup.

http://es.fifa.com/news/y=2009/m=3/news=-1040575.html

If FIFA did not recognize the Inter-Cities-Fairs Cup, why have they recognized the trophy as such? It's worth noticing that the key people behind the Inter-Cities-Fairs Cup were members of FIFA. This dispute has prompted me to contact FIFA about this issue and I am 100% sure that they will confirm my stance, namely that FIFA does recognize the Inter-Cities-Fairs Cup as an official major honor just as the same UEFA recognizes it to be the predecessor of the now defunct UEFA Cup. The only difference being that UEFA did not organize the trophy. If they had done so it would have been recognized by UEFA too.

This user is no doubt a sockpuppet of many other Spanish catalonia based users. She has been trolling the article for months now and reverting the consensus version. The way she talks is a complete WP:Attack on other users.

• Comment. I semi-protected the article yesterday and today I discovered the edit-warring with over five reverts from each side. Now I fully protected the article (for a week, down from two weeks semi), and I recommend that both users be blocked for edit-warring and 3RR violation since both of them believe edit-warring to be a legitimate means of resolution of this content dispute.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:18, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Apparently freedom of speech doesn't apply to editor's summaries of why they make changes here on Wikipedia. Editors who censor people and apply double standards to what types of citations are allowed in articles are most certainly dishonest. Accusing someone of edit warring for simply attempting to keep a legitimate edit from being overrun by a mob of trolls who can give no good/truthful reasons for why they are reverting my edits is ALSO dishonest. In short, if you wish to exert the power of censorship to maintain the status quo of massively biased articles here on Wikipedia (at least when it pertains to creationism and other similarly-controversial topics), then obviously there's nothing I can do to stop you. But that won't change the facts, nor will it change the fact that you are assuming personal responsibility for part of why Wikipedia is giving such a twisted and unbalanced perspective in so many places. My edits have all been legitimate.

Comments

Zippy268 is a new account and has said he is a returning user. He may also be Tha1uw4nt, who began this series of edits in December to prioritize the definition of veganism adopted by the British Vegan Society.

The issue is that lots of vegans (probably most) are dietary vegans only. They don't eat animal products, but they may still wear leather shoes, and so on. Ethical vegans go further and oppose all animal use. Ethical vegans often argue that dietary vegans aren't really vegans, and they arrive occasionally at the article to force their definition into the lead. That's what's happening here.

Zippy268 was warned at 03:28, 7 January about the edit-warring policy and about 3RR, and again at 20:42, 7 January. SarahSV ^(talk) 20:21, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

The idea that I may be Tha1uw4nt is completely unfounded. The issue in question is also being misrepresented by SarahSV Zippy268 (talk) 21:06, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Sarah has described the problem accurately and without bias. I support a block on Zippy268 because he has not only edit warred after being warned multiple times, he has also engaged in IDHT behavior in every user and article talk page discussion. Viriditas (talk) 02:30, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

This really deserves an entry on WP:LAME (being an attempt by Dennis to preserve the nonsense word "winningest") but on researching Dennis's contributions to harassment of other editors for the ANI discussion here, I noticed that he had violated 3RRR, the last three reversions in five minutes. The article is now protected, but I think this pattern of hot-tempered behaviour needs some examination. --Pete (talk) 18:01, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

This is just re-litigating Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RRArchive304#User:Spacecowboy420 reported by User:Dennis Bratland .28Result: 24 hours.29. The same arguments above were given consideration, and rejected. The admin gave Spacecowboy420 a 24 hour block and it was resolved. So this report is just an attempt to try, try again? It's obvious Skyring is forum shopping, since he isn't making much headway over at AN/I, where these same editors are locked in another dispute, and where Skyring/Pete is likely to get a WP:BOOMERANG sanction. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 18:08, Today (UTC+0)

I have looked at the 3RRN report you link to above, and note that it was claimed your four reverts did not breach the rule because one concerned different material. Here is the rule from WP:3RR:

The three-revert rule states:

I think if one party to the edit war receives a block for breaching 3RR, the other party also breaching the rule deserves the same. Especially when the edit war is over a hot-tempered effort to preserve some nonsense word in an owned article. --Pete (talk) 18:19, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

You could have contacted the closing admin (@KrakatoaKatie:) with your objections back when it happened, instead of waiting until you had other reasons to get angry with me and picking this issue as your latest ploy to attack me. Please stop Wikihounding me. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 18:24, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

I've been off on a week-long Sanskrit course, and have only just returned to the real world, as it were. Can't do everything at once and, trust me on this, Sanskrit is a topic that requires full attention. Rich that you accuse others of Wikihounding, when you devote your single-minded attention to anyone who disagres with you, including leaving repeated unwanted messages on their talk pages, when you have been repeatedly asked not to. It is clear that you broke the rules regarding edit-warring, and I'd like you to stand up and admit it, fairly and squarely. It was some days ago, the page was protected, and I dare say if you give evidence that you acknowledge the error and will not repeat it, you will not be blocked this time. --Pete (talk) 18:40, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

• Thanks @Katie, I can actually read, there is absolutely NO requirement for a violation of 3rr to report or take action. as it says at the top of this page: "Edit warring is a behavior, typically exemplified by the use of repeated edits to "win" a content dispute", it is quite clear to me that User:Labattblueboy is doing just that. Please read *all* documentation if/when you reply. CombatWombat42 (talk) 15:20, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

What documentation? You didn't follow the instructions, didn't provide a single diff, didn't show any evidence of attempting to resolve the dispute, didn't show that you'd warned the other editor. Here is your only previous edit to this page, and it should have been turned down flat as a malformed report. This is the last I'll have to say on the matter, so hear it: Follow the directions next time, and don't snark at the admins when you don't get your way. Katie^talk 17:15, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

I was exactly as snarky as you were, so please take your own advice. It says NO WHERE that any of the things are *required* only recommended, so the report was valid, and if you took two seconds to look at the edit history of the page by that user you would realize that there is potential edit warring, but it's fine, just sit up there on your pedestal and go by the rules you think are written not the actual rules, that's what all the good admins do.

Comments:

Toddy1 has only linked to the entire talk page, rather than give a specific diff. This diff is their only edit to that page as of now. Edit summary: "This is just another one of Kaz's POV forks". See WP:Casting aspersions. You have no evidence that this is the blocked user Kaz, and have not attempted to resolve the dispute on that talk page. I find accusations that this new editor is engaging in "vandalism" another distasteful casting of aspersions. Difference in point-of-view, sure, vandalism, no. Wbm1058 (talk) 16:52, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

@Wbm1058:. I have not accused YuHuw of vandalism. In the list of diffs, I listed one for [14:34, 8 January 2016 with its time, the account that wrote it, and the edit summary. As regards settling differences, the link to the talk page shows evidence of attempts to resolve dispute on article talk page. The reason no evidence of sockpuppetry has been presented on this page, is that this is the wrong venue. (PS it helps a lot if you post your comments at the bottom of the page.)-- Toddy1 (talk) 17:08, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Not having ever encountered the user before, I thought that the blanking of that article was simply an act of vandalism which needed reverting [162] but I did explain my mis-assumption in the relevant talk page after that and the misunderstanding was overcome. (see my new para 3 here [163]) Although that User with a non-English Username (who originally blanked that page[164]) is not here now, I would apologize to the User a second time for my mis-assumption if he wanted it, it was an honest mistake as I did not think he was a real editor at that time. YuHuw (talk) 18:14, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

He/she was not blanking the page. The page was originally a redirect.[165] On 31 December 2015 the redirect was turned into an article[166] by 31.154.167.98. Some people had/have a concern that the article was/is a WP:Content fork. This view has been expressed both in edit summaries,[167] and on the talk page.[168][169] The revert by @Неполканов: that YuHuw called "blanking" had an edit summary that explained the reasons for the revert, and that the revert was back to the version of 2008.-- Toddy1 (talk) 18:29, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Anyway I believe the whole thing was just one big misunderstanding between us and was resolved amicably on the talk page as has been demonstrated. YuHuw (talk) 18:43, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I can see I have been named here although it seems a bit jargonistic to me. I will try to understand what is going on as until recently I have not really done much more than read and make spelling corrections on wikipedia. I come in peace! :) YuHuw (talk) 13:59, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

OK I think there is a bit of bad faith about me being assumed by the User:Toddy1 here. First of all I was very polite to Неполканов both in the edit history and on the Talk:Karait page [172], [173]. Although I perceived some disruptive editing and called for mediation [174] and I have to confess I didn't understand every point he made [175] and as it seems English is not his first language although he does very well and things were resolved. I made sure each point he made was acted upon as you can see [176], [177], [178] and [179] and also expressed my respect for his knowledge on Jewish topics and hoped we could work together in future projects [180].

As soon as we had reached a consensus and resolved all issues, along came the user who has posted this complaint, and reverted everything perhaps overlooking by accident our discussions. Instead he has assumed bad faith about me and called me "Kaz" or "Kazimir" over and again [181], [182], [183], [184], [185], [186], [187] despite my requests for him to stop doing so [188], [189], [190]. Looking through his history, it seems I am not the only person he does this to, but apparently to everyone who presents a different view to his own on the Crimean Karaites (in this case I think i upset him by distinguishing Crimea from Ukraine [191]).

I have asked for discussion with the user [192] but I was ignored and mocked instead [193].

I really have done the best I could think of to avoid conflict and resolve issues through discussion, but the User sees simply prejudiced against me. I would very much welcome any kind of mediation to resolve things between us so that we can both enjoy editing wikipedia in peace. YuHuw (talk) 14:40, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

70% of article deleted by Yuhuw. It is obvious vandalism: [194]. Yuhuw is sockpuppet of hongirid and kaz. Their edits are very similar: [195], [196] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.9.40.25 (talk) 07:10, 11 January 2016

Please stop calling me Kaz every time you edit [197] [198] [199] [200] [201], I have asked many times. Is this your IP Toddy1? Even if not, I see in the info provided above that you seem to have made the equation of Kaz and Hongirid first here->[202] is that right? May I ask why do you support the sockpuppets of User:Ancientsteppe (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Ancientsteppe) and how many times have you tried to scare people by calling them Kaz rather than discuss your issues? Don't you think it would be better to discuss your problems with Douglas Morton Dunlop's work on Karaits than hide from it by scaring people away? YuHuw (talk) 23:41, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

The disruptive edits of Toddy1 and his IPs have been surpassed by User:DBachmann's work today which I hope will not be mutilated or reverted. I would hope User:Toddy1 regrets his support for the work of User:Ancientsteppe's spockpuppets and also regrets calling me a scokpuppet over and again so that we can put all thisbehind us.

In light of all these facts, may I respectfully request that this empty complaint be struck from my record please? YuHuw (talk) 18:44, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Comments:
In March 2015 Tenebrae opened an RfC at WT:TV about runtimes (archived here). The RfC was closed for technical purposes, due to the wording used by Tenebrae in the RfC question, with no outcome that could be called consensus. However, he took it upon himself to change the documentation for {{Infobox television}}, so that it supported his position.[204] Recently Tenebrae has been removing runtimes from multiple articles,[205][206][207][208][209][210][211] edit-warring sometimes and occasionally removing the parameter entirely, not just the actual runtimes. At New Girl he reverted an IP who had changed the runtime from "22 minutes" to "21-24 minutes", by removing the content entirely.[212] After he did this a second time I reverted him as he has been misrepresenting the RfC outcome. (see below for further comment) He reverted that, after which I left a 3RR warning on his talk page.[213] He then made his 4th revert at New Girl 4 minutes later, and only then did he start to discuss. Regarding the RfC, Tenebrae's question was essentially "Do we need citations for runtimes or can editors measure it themselves". The RfC close was This discussion is moot. Before we can allow running times measured by individual Wikipedians from the shows themselves, we would first have to change WP:NOR to make an exception for such cases. An RfC among editors with a specific area of interest, and by definition biased in favour of a liking for the minutiae of TV shows, cannot be an appropriate venue for overriding foundational policy.[214] In a subsequent post as the result of questions, the RfC closer wrote The RfC close has nothing to say about whether running times from reliable independent sources have to be cited inline in infoboxes, or whether citation from a source linked within the body is acceptable ... I encourage a separate RfC based on these questions, if they remain points of contention. The close speaks only to the question of whether personal observation is an acceptable source for a running time[215] Unfortunately, Tenebrae refuses to accept this and insists that the outcome of the RfC was that citations are needed in the infobox in all cases. However, this is tangential to this report, which provides evidence that Tenebrae has reverted 4 times in 14 hours at New Girl, despite a warning, and that he has therefore violated WP:3RR. --AussieLegend (✉) 17:01, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

As we know, 3RR doesn't apply to reversion of vandalism. Not abiding by an RfC is vandalism and deliberately inserting uncited OR in defiance of it is vandalism.

Per this RfC's admin close of 21:28, 19 March 2015, TV running times, like movie running times, need third-party citation. Otherwise, it is WP:OR.

In the closing admin's words: "Before we can allow running times measured by individual Wikipedians from the shows themselves, we would first have to change WP:NOR to make an exception for such cases".

He reiterated it on this page under "Thank you, and a question": "A reliable third party source is required. ... I don't see any exception for approximations based on original research. Station schedules would have time slots, and that's as close as you're likely to get...."

User:AussieLegend advocates for putting uncited running times and having us take his word for it. That's against Wikipedia policy, and between that and defying the RfC, he is committing vandalism.

He also deliberately misrepresents me. I never said running time has to be cited in the infobox; only that it has to be cited. I even stated this at Talk:New Girl here!: "Content that's cited in the article body doesn't have to be re-cited in the infobox." So I have to question an editor who would deliberately tell an untruth that way.--Tenebrae (talk) 19:00, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

And now I see that he himself has made the very edit I was requesting, giving a cite at [216]. So he could have done this at any time, solving the issue between us — but instead chose to bait me? I think WP:BOOMERANG might be considered here. --Tenebrae (talk) 19:12, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

As I've already indicated on Tenebrae's talk page, per Wikipedia:Vandalism#Boldly editing, Bold edits, though they may precede consensus or be inconsistent with prior consensus, are not vandalism unless other aspects of the edits identify them as vandalism. The RfC did not close with a consensus and RfCs are not binding. There is nothing in any of the multiple reversions of Tenebrae's edits by 3 different editors that identify them as vandalism.[217][218][219][220] Therefore, Tenebrae can't claim to be reverting vandalism.

he himself has made the very edit I was requesting - I was too busy dealing with your edit-warring at multiple articles. As I indicated to you on my talk page, you could have just challenged the content with {{citation needed}} and left it at that, which would have simplified the situation. There was no need to edit war after I warned you.

I don't intend commenting further, except to note the incivility here when he berated the IP for not including a citation. --AussieLegend (✉) 19:25, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Arguing that "RfCs are not binding" seems an argument of truly last resort. The RfC ended with the consensus that you can't just guesstimate running time and have us take your word for it — as the closing admin said, the entire question was moot since we can't have original research, which you were advocating. The admin made very clear, in his own words, that "a reliable third party source is required." Choosing to deliberately ignore this cornerstone policy after being reminded of it isn't "bold" — editing against a cornerstone policy isn't "bold". It's the definition of vandalism. --Tenebrae (talk) 22:11, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

And I am truly getting tired of User:AussieLegend's half-truths and misstatements. As for his claim of incivility, he notably fails to point out that the edit-summary came after this polite first one which the edit-warring anon-IP chose to ignore.

One additional note: He hypocritically doesn't seem to care, or to note here, when his friend is uncivil toward me. AussieLegend was involved in the discussion where user:Davey2010 said, "you could've avoided all of this shit by sourcing the damn thing yourself instead of being fucking lazy" [221] — in violation, I might add, of the dictum that the burden of citation falls on the editor who adds claims to an article. --Tenebrae (talk) 22:17, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Just one observation - Me and AL have very rarely contributed together - Infact I can't remember the last time we even spoke so you can drop that card for a start! - I simply saw the runtime removal and disagreed with it, I stand 100% by that comment - AL never added the runtimes in the first place so you should've added a source instead of being lazy which could've prevented all of this mess!, All that aside you did edit war repeatedly, After AL reverted you you should've stopped and had a discussion but you instead edit warred repeatedly and I guarantee had I not reverted you would've carried on anyway .... –Davey2010 ^{Merry Xmas / Happy New Year} 22:51, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

In this seemingly never-ending array of picking and choosing which Wikipedia policies and guidelines some editors choose to follow, I must point out — for the third time, since this is one User talk:Davey2010 chooses to ignore — that WP:BURDEN says (boldface from the page itself): "The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and is satisfied by providing a citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution." So who is the "lazy" one, sir? --Tenebrae (talk) 23:06, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

And incidentally, I was the one who did start a talk-page discussion, here. --Tenebrae (talk) 23:08, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Which you did only after you'd violated 3RR, here. --AussieLegend (✉) 12:17, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Runtimes must be sourced. AussieLegend knows this as he was part of the RfC. If AussieLegend is adding runtimes from personal observation, that is original research and forbidden by policy. AussieLegend also knows this. WP:NOR is canonical policy, not a guideline. If AussieLegend wants to ignore policy, then he will be blocked. The simple solution is to find a reliable source for the runtime, and cite it. Adding it without a source is not only a violation of policy, it is also disruptive, because AussieLegend knows that adding unsourced runtimes does not enjoy wither consensus or the support of policy. Guy (Help!) 23:13, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

There was never any outcome from the RfC that said runtimes must be cited. You said that yourself when you said The RfC close has nothing to say about whether running times from reliable independent sources have to be cited inline in infoboxes, or whether citation from a source linked within the body is acceptable ... The close speaks only to the question of whether personal observation is an acceptable source for a running time. The concern here is that Tenebrae is arbitrarily removing runtimes, sometimes even removing the entire parameter, without even giving editors the incentive to provide a citation by adding {{citation needed}}. More relevant to this discussion is that he has demonstrated that he is willing to edit-war instead of collaborating with other editors to provide an outcome that actually improves the encyclopaedia. You even suggested I encourage a separate RfC based on these questions, if they remain points of contention. Tenebrae never even did that, which would have solved the problem once and for all. --AussieLegend (✉) 23:33, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

That's not an outcome from the RfC, that's canonical policy. WP:V. Runtimes, like everything else, must be verifiable by reference to reliable independent sources. That doesn't prejudge where it's sourced (you could put inline text saying the runtime is X minutes within the body, referenced back to a source), but you don't have the option of not sourcing this information because you know it will be challenged, and the onus is on the editor seeking to include challenged material, to justify and source its inclusion. That is absolutely core tot he whole ethos of Wikipedia. It's not specific to runtimes. I am not going to explain this again. Guy (Help!) 11:32, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Actually, film and television plots aren't usually referenced by anything verifiable. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:42, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

That may very well be true, and if so, the figures should be removed per WP:V. Guy (Help!) 11:55, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Do you mean the plots should be removed? Because if you do, there are a fair few FAs that will need to be delisted... The Rambling Man (talk) 11:58, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

WP:V requires that all content be attributable to reliable sources, it doesn't require that everything be cited. As I've explained below, the runtimes don't fall under "likely to be challenged", so there is no normal requirement to cite every one. If Tenebrae adds {{citation needed}} instead of deleting runtimes that encourages editors to add citations and eventually it will encourage them to add citations without prompting. However, it was explained at the RfC and prior to that at at Template talk:Infobox television why TV episode runtimes are difficult to cite. Runtimes can vary significantly throughout the history of a series, so the time in the infobox is only an approximation, usually a close one. Even reliable sources can be confusing on this. For example, this one shows episode lengths of 22 minutes for most episodes, but one is 24 minutes. Season 1 though had several 22 minute episodes and several 21 minute episodes. Other programs, like Top Gear can have episodes that vary in length from around 50-65 minutes. To cite Top Gear properly you'd need 22 citations, one for each series. --AussieLegend (✉) 12:11, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

you don't have the option of not sourcing this information because you know it will be challenged - That's not correct at all. The only person challenging runtimes is Tenebrae. Runtimes don't seem to be challenged by anyone else so they don't fall under "likely to be challenged". Tenebrae's method of dealing with runtimes is counter-productive. He deletes the runtimes instead of challenging them with {{citation needed}} and, from what I've seen, does very little else in TV articles. In a few days, weeks or months somebody comes along, doesn't know the runtime has been deleted and adds it again, putting the article back to where it was before Tenebrae came along.

you could put inline text saying the runtime is X minutes within the body - I guess you don't edit many TV articles. This is something that is almost never seen in TV articles. Generally, the only mention of runtimes is in the infobox. However, this is all tangential to the issue, which again is that Tenebrae, rather than editing collaboratively, violated 3RR at New Girl after he was warned. --AussieLegend (✉) 12:06, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

From WP:V:

All material in Wikipedia mainspace, including everything in articles, lists and captions, must be verifiable. All quotations, and any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged, must include an inline citation that directly supports the material. Any material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed. Please remove contentious material about living people that is unsourced or poorly sourced immediately.

It does not say how many people have to be likely to challenge it. You cannot possibly claim that you are unaware it is likely to be challenged. Now stop playing silly buggers and get on with adding properly sourced content. Guy (Help!) 12:20, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

How is runtime different from plot content? And those FAs also have uncited runtimes... So should we start tagging those? The Rambling Man (talk) 12:38, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Using Guy's argument everything on Wikipedia is likely to be challenged and therefore everything should be cited. {{Infobox television}} is used in over 36,500 articles and runtime is only ever challenged by Tenebrae in a handful of articles. On this occasion it was because he was following an IP who was making good faith edits, so he hit more articles than usual. Using a bit of common sense tells you that runtime is unlikely to be challenged. A single editor with an agenda doesn't make it likely. But again, this is supposed to be about Tenebrae's violation of 3RR. --AussieLegend (✉) 12:44, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

I think there's a precedent to be set here. If User:JzG is happy to overlook the 3RR based on a need to provide a verifiable source for the run time of a television episode, yet we have featured articles which don't even do this, and massive sections of FAs which have not one single verifiable secondary source for the plot section, there's a fundamental problem with JzG's "absolute" claim. I would like to see JzG comment back here with regard to the fact that he is clearly unaware that many FAs don't do what he expects, as a minimum, and therefore re-appraise this notice in that context. Or else I'd like to see Tenebrae doing the right thing and start tagging all those issues on all the FAs because, after all, those items appear on the main page from to time, so heaven forbid one does without a run time that is verified by a reliable secondary source. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:06, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Guy, the closing admin of the RfC, isn't ignoring 3RR at all. Once again: 3RR does not apply to vandalism. Deliberately inserting a clearly disallowed, OR edit after being told that it violates both core policy and an RfC closing is both vandalism and pointy disruption.

Some articles don't cite running times? That doesn't set a precedent, as the editors in this discussion surely know and some choose to ignore. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Ultimately, two editors are advocating for an OR exception for TV runtimes as opposed to movie runtimes. I don't believe that is a viable or responsible argument. We can cite runtimes — even User:AussieLegend did so, albeit grudgingly. I don't know why anyone would spend so much time arguing not to do so.--Tenebrae (talk) 21:35, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

If run times now need a citation, like plots do (if that's what JzG is claiming) then we have a large issue that needs further discussion. It also renders this discussion somewhat moot until it's resolved. I'm not sure I understand why a whole plot section can go without a single citation (presumably because someone has watched the movie and written about it) yet the run time (which is trivial in comparison) suddenly needs a citation. It's utterly illogical and actually shows that some editors are more here to pursue inconsistent and pointed wiki-lawyering, and not to improve Wikipedia. Please be advised that if this report closes as JzG seems to wish it closed, we'll need to start addressing all the FAs and GAs that have entirely unreferenced plot sections, and I will be using this discussion as the precedent to do so. So let's get this right. (P.S. Ultimately, two editors are advocating for an OR exception for TV runtimes as opposed to movie runtimes not just that, one of us is asking why plots can go citation-free and run times, according to you and JzG, can't.... Answer that please). The Rambling Man (talk) 22:04, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

I wish the waters weren't being muddied, I hope not deliberately, by this tangential foray into film plots. The pertinent MOS at WP:FILMPLOT cites Wikipedia guidelines for writing about fiction and for use of primary sources to state clearly that a movie itself is used as the source for the plot. Alright?

A quantifiable measurement, like running time, is completely different. So let's not suggest that the sky is falling, please. --Tenebrae (talk) 22:46, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

No-one is making such a suggestion, I wonder why you start acting so defensively? I am simply examining the claim made by JzG that everything should be verified and of course film plots have no such verifiable secondary sources. Of course, that is more absurd than getting highly strung about a runtime (which, of course, is as easily observable as a film plot). The Rambling Man (talk) 07:03, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

• I am prepared to overlook AussieLegend's deliberate violation of WP:V, his wilful refusal to honour the outcome of an RfC whose close he did not like, and his transparent attempts to trap Tenebrae into a violation he could report. I'm even prepared - for now to hold off requesting a community sanction forbidding AussieLegend from adding unsourced runtimes. I'm prepared to overlook this because they are both behaving like children, and although blocking them both would be temporarily satisfying I am not convinced that it would be anything other than retaliatory by now. Guy (Help!) 22:43, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

@JzG: Agree. But if you close this report, please try to do so in a final way that will keep the same dispute from showing up at other articles. Warning one or both editors that they might be blocked if they continue is one option. EdJohnston (talk) 05:27, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

This has become absolutely ridiculous. I made no "deliberate violation of WP:V" as claimed by Guy. That's crap. To go back to evidence that I've already presented, because people are seemingly ignoring it:

• Tenebrae started an RfC asking effectively "Do we need citations for runtimes or can editors measure it themselves".
• Guy closed the RfC stating Before we can allow running times measured by individual Wikipedians from the shows themselves, we would first have to change WP:NOR to make an exception for such cases. This caused confusion so he clarified that in a subsequent post.
• The clarification stated The RfC close has nothing to say about whether running times from reliable independent sources have to be cited inline in infoboxes, or whether citation from a source linked within the body is acceptable ... The close speaks only to the question of whether personal observation is an acceptable source for a running time. Nowhere does the close say that citations have to be included. In fact Guy's clarification specifically states that his close only applies to the use of OR.
• The final sentence in the closer's clarification sums up the close well: Please do not be tempted to read anything into the procedural close of the RfC beyond the simple fact that no RfC can decide to allow original research of this kind. In other words, nothing changed. The requirement to cite runtimes was not added.
• Despite what seems clear wording, Tenebrae was reverting changes by an IP saying in his edit summaries "See the template's documentation. Claims of running time MUST be cited".[222][223][224][225] However, as indicated by Guy's clarification, the RfC close said nothing about the need to cite runtimes in all circumstances, just that OR could not be used, and the template documentation only says what it says because Tenebrae added it to the documentation.[226] Well, actually it doesn't say that any more. The requirement to cite was removed later and the documentation now only says "Reliable source required", which Tenebrae clearly agrees with.[227] Because somebody will no doubt fail to check the edit history I will point out that my edit immediately prior to his was a simple formatting change for consistency,[228] which Tenebrae reverted in his edit.
• It was because of this clear misrepresentation of the stated outcome of the RfC that I reverted Tenebrae, not as a wilful refusal to honour the outcome of an RfC whose close he did not like. That claim by Guy is also rubbish. We have had lengthy discussions about this, resulting in this "compromise" series of changes to the documentation:[229][230][231][232] That being the case Guy has no basis on which to claim that my actions were wilful.

I am not sure why I am being targeted by Guy here. I wasn't the only one to revert Tenebrae. There were at least two other editors who did so.[233][234] It seems a bit of a vendetta, simply because I opened this report. --AussieLegend (✉) 09:25, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

While I'm loathe to respond to this litany, with its spectacularly annoying green typeface, I need to respond to claims that an admin and I both somehow misinterpreted the admin's own conclusion and that only this editor interprets it correctly. RE: "The RfC close said nothing about the need to cite runtimes in all circumstances, just that OR could not be used." First, WP:VERIFY applies to all circumstances of quantitative claims. A close doesn't have to tell us to follow a core policy. We just follow core policies. Second If OR is "not ... used", then ipso facto, one is citing one's claims: If one can't or won't say where a claim is coming from, then it's coming from oneself. That's OR. --Tenebrae (talk) 22:49, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

So WP:V doesn't apply to qualitative claims all of a sudden? Where do you get that idea? The Rambling Man (talk) 17:35, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Where did you get the idea I said that?? We're talking about running times. Running time are quantitative. This reads as if you're trying to obfuscate and muddy the waters by bringing in tangential, unrelated topics. We are only talking about running times.--Tenebrae (talk) 15:27, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

No, we're not, you are. Just above, JzG quotes from WP:V that "All material in Wikipedia mainspace, including everything in articles, lists and captions, must be verifiable." which is clearly untrue for film plots, episode plots etc. Run times can be determined as easily as plots. Watch the film/episode. You seem upset by the idea that it's important to consider your curious half-attempt to use WP:V in this context doesn't cut the mustard. After all, why aren't you worried about the swathes of text in the plot sections which can be challenged? I didn't see the part of WP:V that stated it applies to "all circumstances of quantitative claims". Can you point me to it? The Rambling Man (talk) 14:26, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Um ... no, we are only talking about running times. I think User:AussieLegend and I would agree on that.

All of WP:VERIFY itself supports that we cite quantitative claims. We can't just make numerical claims and say "take my word for it." That's so basic.

If you were familiar with WP:FILMPLOT, you'd know that movies themselves are allowed as the primary source for a plot, since a movie can be viewed for verification.

"Run times can be determined as easily as plots." How? With a stopwatch? As the closing admin noted, that's original research. We can't measure a TV show's running time any more than we're allowed to measure a car and give its length without citation. You're arguing against core Wikipedia policies. I'm not sure what the point of that is. --Tenebrae (talk) 21:59, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

You're clearly misleading yourself, which is a little odd. Let's look at what you've just said: "a movie can be viewed for verification" yet it can't be viewed for run times? How inconsistent. You claim "All of WP:VERIFY itself supports that we cite quantitative claims" yet V doesn't mention the word "quantitative" once. How odd. I am commensurate with WP:FILMPLOT (as apparently you are not) but this flies in the face of the admin's claim that "All material in Wikipedia mainspace, including everything in articles, lists and captions, must be verifiable." (per V). Since when did MOS guidelines supersede Wikipedia policy? You are clearly advocating that we argue against core Wikipedia policy. "I'm not sure what the point of that is [sic]". The Rambling Man (talk) 21:06, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

From my experience, such withdrawals are not allowed when outstanding delete !votes are present. In this case, the closure disregards the delete !vote by another user in favor of their own view, which is essentially a WP:SUPERVOTE.

I have never known that you could not withdraw your nomination and close it yourself after somebody had voted. I doubt that the warriors knew that upfront of this drama. The Banner talk 15:57, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

• Another Support for boomerang following this revert taking Legacypac over the 3RR mark. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 16:03, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

We don't usually remove other user's comments as Wikielvi did here [245] and then when an editor puts their own comment back call that a revert. Some competence is required to comment at 3RR. Legacypac (talk) 16:08, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

• Noting that Legacypac has now taken to harassment on my talk page for commenting here and for reverting his removal of NorthAmerica's comments at the AfD. He's been told to stay off my talk page, yet, he keeps posting bogus warnings on my talk page. [246]; [247] This is obvious retaliation; I can't support more strongly that a boomerang is appropriate here. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 16:14, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Again, Wikielvi is dead wrong. They removed my comments, and I restored my comments. Warning them for their inappropriate actions is appropriate, and if it continues I will take it further. Legacypac (talk) 16:19, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Take it furher? What like this example? Let me know when tickets for your stand-up tour go on sale. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 19:21, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

• Closing Leave the AFD open, nobody reverts anybody any more, nobody reports anybody at AIV/AN3 anymore, nobody drops a template on anybody's talk page anymore, people participate in the AFD if they want to, and move on with their lives if they don't. In short, everybody pretends that they're all grown up, and that everyone around them is a grown up too. --Floquenbeam (talk) 17:20, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

• Comment – Since this report was brought against me, it is fair to mention that this was a boomerang situation, whereby the creator of this discussion was blocked for edit warring in relation to this matter (diff). My edits were simply following proper procedure in re the AfD matters, as per WP:WITHDRAWN, and did not constitute edit warring. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 11:16, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

• Actually it was edit warring and you are getting off easy. None of the edit warring exceptions are for being right. HighInBC 05:29, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Apparently also editing while logged out. Widr (talk) 08:17, 14 January 2016 (UTC) 67.185.39.32 is my IP address, the edit you are referring to is from 104.34.188.177, ergo you are incorrect on the matter of logged out edits. DudeImNotBobby (talk) 08:19, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

That's not what you are saying on my talk page. Trolling perhaps? Widr (talk) 08:28, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

The IP on your Talk page is my IPv6. This is my IPv4 address. You can feel free to WHOis search all the IPs and verify locations. You should refrain from accusing other users of "trolling" unless you have a valid backing to the claim.DudeImNotBobby (talk) 08:40, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Slow-running edit war beginning late last year and involving two editors reverting each other slowly enough to avoid an explicit breach of 3RR. Recommend a block for both: edit-warring is lame. --Pete (talk) 19:06, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

• This is actually a shocking edit war that is clearly out of control. Both editors are highly experienced and should know better. Both editors have also had plenty of time to take the initiative to stop edit warring and seek dispute resolution. Neither has done so. I will also note that this is not the only page this users have disrupted with edit warring. Blocks are clearly in order but will not be applied evenly: Snappy, with nearly 100k edits and 11 years of experience has only received two minor blocks for edit warring, none since 2013. Snappy is Blocked – for a period of 36 hours. Gob Lofa on the other hand, has amassed a significant block log over the past two years, clearly has a history of serious disruption, and was blocked for edit warring as recently as last August. Gob Lofa, being on much thinner ice as far as disruption goes, really has no excuse as they have clearly been given more than enough rope up until now. Gob Lofa is Blocked – for a period of 1 week.
