User was warned last week and the page was locked, as soon as the page lock expired he immediately comes back and begins his reverting without attempting to discuss [7]. In what to me appears to be an attempt to avoid the admin realizing he reverted an older edit rather than the more recent one. - Galatz^Talk 14:16, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

After a second, uninvolved editor restored the section subhead to the status quo "Criticism", Wash whites separately edit-warred again to make the subhead a slightly better yet still non-consensus version. Even without this fifth revert, however, he has defiantly made four — essentially saying the 3RR rule doesn't apply to himself. And as WP:CSECTION notes, "Criticism" is standard and "Controversy" should not be used except in rare situations that do not apply here. "Criticisms and controversies are two distinct concepts, and they should not be commingled."

Comments:

In order not to do a fourth revert myself, I've left the article at his latest edit. He is behaving emotionally and uncivilly, with one edit-summary reading, "Fixed the grammar so the domineering princess can understand the sentence" [20]

It's worth noting that the emotional response came after he referred to my edit as "horrific" and also made threats against me. Even after I conceded to him about the grammar of the writing, he still decided to nitpick and report me because of the title of the section. He's just as emotional as anyone else, pursuing petty conflicts to the greatest lengths, all with a touch of condescension. —Wash whites separately (talk) 17:59, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

Here is my edit summary, which refered not to his edit or him as horrific, but to "horrific grammar" that as, phrased, called Chinese Americans "things": [21]. In any case, it doesn't mitigate his edit-warring. --Tenebrae (talk) 18:02, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

• User wants to add this sentence: "Others who embraced neo-psychedelia include Siouxsie and the Banshees [1] and The Glove [2]."

The issue here is one of WP:ONUS and WP:LAUNDRYLIST. I placed {{elucidate}} next to the text and argued my case on talk page, writing that indiscriminate namedrops of random artists is laundry list trivia that could potentially be stretched to infinity, and that the info is better located at List of neo-psychedelia artists. I suggested that if he wants those bands to be acknowledged, then he should find a source that discusses the subject as more than a passing mention (i.e. something in the vein of "[X] was a major figure of neo-psychedelia who influenced many artists of the genre").

He responded by citing WP:OWNER and WP:RS, but not before engaging in an edit war over the "abusive" tag I had placed. After giving a 3RR warning, he began removing other sourced content from the article, which looks to me like WP:DISRUPTPOINT.

Reply from User:Woovee:

1) I added completely new content yesterday.

"Journalist David Stubbs remarked that Siouxsie and the Banshees's music in 1982 had got "neo-psychedelic flourishes" with "pan-like flutes" and "treated loops".[8] Critic Ira Robbins stated that The Glove integrated neo-psychedelic elements in their work in 1983.[9]

I have put another source and 2 very different sentences. Each time, I've changed and improved my edits. I wp:STICKTOSOURCE, I used wp:RSs and there is no wp:OR.

2) This report is bizarre because the plaintiff has done 4RR which I didn't.

Here's his 4RR, he should have never reported someone while doing this:

1. [29] 18:51, 5 October 2016 in which the plaintiff completely erased my first edit with 2 reliable sources
2. [30] 13:45, 6 October 2016 in which the plaintiff again reverted my edit
3. [31] 23:29, 6 October 2016 in which the plaintiff accepted one of the revious source and a new one while adding an abusive tag, which is his new tactics
4. [32] 23:50, 6 October 2016 same rv than above
5. [33] 13:01, 7 October 2016 same rv than above
6. [34] 17:22, 7 October 2016 same rv than below

So, his report is abusive, and inappropriate. Woovee (talk) 17:18, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

— Explanation of the wording as instructed by subst:

As mentioned, Xenophrenic (and I) were warned for making even a single revert to the article before getting concensus on talk, at September 1: [65]. At that point I actually already had concensus: [66], [67].

I get clearer concensus again: [68], [69] and make a tiny change to the Amherst portion by adding two testimonies verified by all our sources and the words "a month before" which is obviously quite important: [70].

Now Xenophrenic reverts that, removing the testimonies for the millionth time and changes massive portions of the article completely chaotically and gets into an edit war with yet another editor, totaling 4 against him now. His argument is that it's a WP:NOTAVOTE. People are at arms about his behavior but it just keeps getting passed over.

Declined – These diffs don't show a 3RR violation. If someone opened an RfC with specific statements we could get a reading on what wording actually has consensus. It is my hope that the two sides will eventually get tired of going in circles and will try following the steps of WP:Dispute resolution. EdJohnston (talk) 03:23, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

Ed, of course these diffs do not show a 3RR violation. They don't even show disruptive edit warring on my part. What do the above diffs show in this malformed report? The diff of the "previous version reverted to" is just an unhelpful link to the current article. The diff to an "attempt to resolve the dispute" is instead just an unhelpful link to the whole article Talk page. The 4 "diffs of the user's reverts" are instead just article improvement edits, mostly consisting of uncontroversial new content and reliable sources. Any other Admin might assume good faith and mistake this grossly malformed report as merely new user lack of competence, but Admin Ed Johnston should know better. Ed has been handling this matter for a while now, and knows this report is just the latest in a string of attempts by the single purpose Etsybetsy account to substitute baseless drama-board sanction requests in place of actual collaboration and discussion on article improvement.

While I appreciate Ed's efforts to appear impartial while addressing edit warring complaints here, I feel Ed's use of wording which paints both parties as equally culpable (i.e.; "It is my hope that the two sides will eventually get tired...") is unhelpful. Such language only encourages Etsybetsy's poor behavior. This AN3 report alleges that I reverted after being warned not to, but Ed is fully aware that it was actually Etsybetsy who reverted. Ed gave Etsy a chance, "there may still be time for you to undo your change, to avoid a block", which Etsy declined. Ed patiently listened to Etsy's faulty claim to consensus (which Etsy has again echoed just above in this report), and again Ed gave Etsy a chance, "Your above argument looks to be full of synthesis. I recommend you undo your contested change until a clear thread of support appears on the talk page." Again Etsy declined. Whether Ed then grew too irritated with the situation to continue, or simply lost track of it, Ed didn't comment further. I left Etsy's problematic, non-consensus edit in the article and patiently waited a full 2 weeks. With no further response from Etsy, or from Ed, I have resumed article improvement editing. Ed, you suggest (again) that we should be following the steps of Dispute Resolution, but you must know that cannot be done in a vacuum. Two to Tango, and all that. As you know, I took the initiative to open the Talk page discussion, which Etsy has abandoned in favor of revert-warring instead. I also offered to initiate an RfC for Etsy, but that was rejected, with no alternative proposal offered by Etsy. Arbitration and Third Opinion steps aren't applicable here. I'd like to initiate a Moderated Discussion, but that, too, is no longer applicable because there must first be significant discussion. The content Etsy is presently revert warring out of the article (Canadian schools; Mandan tribes; copy editing) is new content being deleted without any discussion. Suggestions? Anyone?

Hi, just wanted to alert other editors to potential problem with User:Aṭlas reverting edits on MoorsDuedemagistris (talk) 20:05, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

There is no potential problem with Atlas reverting edits. You made some rather poorly explained deletions, you were reverted. Then you added an explanation on the talk page. This is an ordinary content dispute following the bold, revert, discuss cycle. Someguy1221 (talk) 21:14, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

Note that Duedemagistris has accused Atlas of vandalism, clearly unreasonably. Pinkbeast (talk) 01:42, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

User was warned several times, but refuses to provide reliable source to his edits. I've explained it already to him and he does not seem to understand. If he receives any kind of punishment, I'd recommend page protection as well. He just became a registered user, so he could go back again to unregistered edits and keep that situation going. Thanks.

@Dr Lecter I have legitimate argument and have provided a primary source to back myself up, while only receiving secondary sources / speculation as counter evidence. I have been warned several times to provide a source which I have done. My reporters have ignored the source, and continued reporting me for the same reason, while not providing a source of their own - making their reports illegitimate. I do not deserve to be punished — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr Lecter (talk • contribs) 05:01, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

I believe there's a clear "Interim champion: Jon Jones" below Daniel Cormier here: http://www.ufc.com/fighters. Sorry bud, you did not provide a single reliable source because there is none. I'm afraid you're completely wrong in this one. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 05:39, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Couiros22 reported by Jimfbleak (Result: no violation)

Couiros22 [contributions] has been systematically restoring individual country categories across many bird articles, despite this being against a previously established consensus, and removing categories he/she doesn't like, specifically Category:Birds of Europe. He/she just keeps reverting and has broken WP:3RR at least Aleutian tern, history, probably others by now, and seems unwilling to discuss or stop this disruption discussion. I'm too close to this to take admin action myself, and I'm reluctant to see any editor blocked, but there must be some way of getting this editor to engage with other editors and not just attempt to impose his/her own views without consensus. Apologies if I've not formatted this correctly, I don't think I've ever posted here before Jimfbleak (talk) 05:51, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

No breach of 3RR has yet occurred, as far as I can see. On Aleutian tern they reverted twice yesterday. That said, they are certainly not showing a good attitude to collaborative editing and if this pattern continues then sanctions may occur. I will leave a note on their talkpage and advise them to read WP:BRD. Can I also suggest that you (Jimfbleak) avoid using rollback to revert non-vandalism. (This revert required an edit summary.) — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:24, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I have recently been updating geographical categories on many bird articles, mainly for the following reasons:

- Bird species are usually classified according to their geographical area by simply indicating the name of the continent(s) on which they are found (e.g. "Birds of Africa", "birds of North America" etc.) ; which can however be rather approximate and misleading and I think it would be wiser to include more refined geographical sub-categories in order to reflect the geographical area of repartition.

e.g. The stilt and the buff-headed sandpipers only occur in Alaska and Canada's far north; which is why I suggested to refine the classification data by replacing "Birds of North America" (very approximate and misleading, given it may suggest that the species occurs throughout the whole continent) by "Birds of Alaska" and "Birds of Canada" which would be much more precise and less misleading.

- Most academic bird list inventories generally indicate a bird's range of presence by only quoting the birds' breeding range (where they spend most of the year), the non-breeding range either mentioned separately or ignored (cf. IOC World Bird List). Likewise, I think only the breeding range should be taken into account on Wikipedia and that birds' wintering ranges could be categorized separately (e.g. "Wintering birds of Australia").

To elicit both examples, the Aleutian tern was up until now categorized as "Birds of North America" and "Birds of Europe" - yet according to every major ornithological reference, the species only occurs in northwestern coastal areas of the continent - and nearly none of them indicate its breeding presence in Europe throughout the year. Hence, wouldn't the terms "Birds of the Aleutian Islands" and "birds of Alaska" be a much more suitable and valid categorization?

At present, Jimfbleak seems unwilling to follow any further pragmatic discussion, deems that geographical subcategories (e.g. 'birds of Tibet', 'birds of Manchuria', 'birds of Alaska' etc.) as "unneeded" and has accused me of edit warring and having an « agenda »...

Therefore I would like to address and politely request other users' opinion regarding this problematic. --Couiros22 (talk) 10:37, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

This board is not the place to discuss content issues. You can use the article's talk page, or for broad discussion try the relevant WikiProject. Jimfbleak may be aware of previous discussions where consensus was established. Consensus can change of course, but the onus is on you to demonstate this. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:34, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

The article is limited to 1rr however the user has reverted 2 or 3 times, They've been given an edit warring notice which has been ignored, Thanks –Davey2010^Talk 12:56, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

FWIW, I just left a notice about the 1RR restriction. They haven't reverted since receiving the original warning. There's only been two reverts so far. The first was just removal of sources and the second was reverting him/herself. APK whisper in my ear 13:00, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Ah thanks, I thought there was a notice but had no idea where to find it and don't really know what the best course of action is either, They did self rv but then self reverted straight after anyway so didn't think it was worth mentioning, Anyway they would've known about the 1rr because it's a massive box as soon as you edit so you can't exactly miss it but regardless if an admin believes this is non-actionable for now then I have no objections to that, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 13:06, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

I didn't know that, but thanks for informing. But, multiple editors one after one have reverted me as well. Is that fair that you are able to tag-team against someone? I wasn't born yesterday and I'm not going to cower. Besides I've already started a discussion, no one responded. If you really care to "discuss", do discuss. Eichenwalde (talk) 13:11, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

@Eichenwalde: - Go to Talk:November 2015 Paris attacks and read the archives (on the right hand side). You'll see this has been discussed. When multiple editors are reverting you, examine why they might be doing that instead of assuming it's a tag-team against you. Lastly, your tone seems very pointed. You're new here. Relax, be a little more friendly and people will probably respond to you a lot better. Cheers. APK whisper in my ear 13:18, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

No one's tag teaming - You've been reverted by 3 editors and carried on reverting anyway, It's great you've started a discussion but you should'e started it the moment you were reverted, The article isn't placed on 1RR for the sake of it - You ignored it and up until now was unwilling to discuss it and had it not been for this report you would'e carried on reverting. –Davey2010^Talk 13:22, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

That is exactly what is called tag-teaming - one after another reverting. I know this is a tactic. As I said, I wasn't born yesterday hoss. It seems the "editors" haven't used common sense and what Islamic extremism actually means. In fact they haven't even checked whether it's really sourced. NO SOURCE SAYS "Islamic extremism was a motive". And even the article makes itself clear that there was more than one motive. Therefore classifying it as a motive is contrary to reality and completely unsourced. Instead of telling me I'm pointed and to relax, do it yourself first and don't act like you own this site.

@Eichenwalde: - administrator's note: Please self-revert now that you understand that you're limited to a single revert. If you do not, you will be blocked for edit-warring.

Not happening. I don't want to edit-war. But I fear this is an obvious tactic on other's part to do what they wish to. Had the editors been not tag-teaming, I would have. But this is obviously a tag-team tactic. Eichenwalde (talk) 13:33, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

I came to this via an RFPP report. We have a slow-motion edit war here over the last week or so regarding a specific phrase.

We have always believed in WP:NPOV style of editing, but this user, I think, does not imply on it. He keeps on removing others' contributions showing the positive doings of the politician, although supported by reliable sources, and keeps on only contributing the negative ones, so that the general public, specially foreigners, can think of the politician as so bad. I think, he/she is one-sided and worthy of being punished, in accordance with the Wikipedia:Five pillars. ~Manila's PogingJuan 15:37, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

• I'm not removing the same content, I was removing several different instences of unreferenced, somewhat promotional content and several different instences of SYNTH or OR. I had started a discussion on the article talk page, which the other editor did not respond to until after he templated me for edit warring, prior to even 2RR on any one piece of content. A third editor, Meters has also reverted the same SYNTH. If a block is forthcoming it should be for the other editor, who despite having been here for nearly two years, is not signing their comments.

  • Serious WP:OWN issues too. I made some MOS corrections to the article which he is now reverting and Meters is restoring. John from Idegon (talk) 07:34, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

@Zlassiter: I'm seriously contemplating some WP:BOOMERANG if this doesn't settle down very quickly. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 07:42, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

• • • I'm going to bed.....I'll look in in the morning. Can't imagine anything that would be pressing in the meantime. John from Idegon (talk) 07:45, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

• (edit conflict × 2)@John from Idegon: WP:3RR doesn't distinguish between removing the same or different material, it's just more than three distinct sets of reverting. If you did revert there one more time for any reason I'd have to block you, and I know some admins would say I should now.
• @Zlassiter: This and this would be counted as the same revert (sequential edits are counted as a single revert), not reverts 2 and 3. While this can be counted as a revert, it could be counted as a bold edit instead. Now, that decision could be considered WP:Wikilawyering, but not nearly as bad a case of wikilawyering as citing this essay to try to justify citing sources that don't actually say the things they're being cited for. In fact, that behavior and expecting other people to get better sources are regarded as disruptive. WP:Verifiability (which is an policy representing both traditional and current site-wide consensus, not an essay representing the opinions of a few selected users from a decade ago) plainly states "Any material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed."
• I'm inclined to just warn both of you to stop and especially warn Zlassiter to listen to John and Meters about sourcing and quit WP:OWNing the article like it's a source of income. Still, I'm not closing this myself because I could see how other admins might feel differently one way or another. Ian.thomson (talk) 07:47, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
  • Instead of just blanking material discuss it, help reword it so its more neutral... its hard to work on an article when its constantly being blanked over and over by the same user. Zlassiter (talk) 07:51, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
  • The material being blanked in one of his reverts https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kalamazoo_Foundation_for_Excellence&diff=prev&oldid=743570558 is clearly cited in one of the sources http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-09-29/kalamazoo-asks-the-rich-for-donations-instead-of-hiking-taxes "The concern, Apps says, is that the foundation’s benefactors may have different priorities than many city residents." Zlassiter (talk) 07:54, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

@Zlassiter: Hannah Apps isn't "many people," stop with the weasel words. That's been explained to you enough that I shouldn't have to have put it that bluntly, and you should be able to figure out how to rephrase that sentence to be neutral by yourself. Also, that isn't the only material being reverted. You need to stop pluralizing every thing. Ian.thomson (talk) 07:59, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

• Also this should be looked at by admin.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Meters#Recent conversation on a user's talk page regarding this. instead of trying to reach consensus subject seems to be reaching out to friends to get an AFD done on an article subject that clearly doesn't meet the requirements for deletion. Also some AGF violations. Zlassiter (talk) 12:43, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

There's nothing untoward there. John from Idegon and I are both very active editors, and we have significant overlap on school articles, so we sometimes bounce ideas off of each other. That's why I initially thought his posting on my page had to do with the Crystal Springs high school article. He didn't ask me to look at Kalamazoo Foundation for Excellence and he didn't raise the possibility of an AFD on my page until after the article showed up on my recent changes patrol and I had edited the article and commented on the talk page. As for the suggestion of a WP:CRYSTAL AFD, the article is a bit early, but I think it would certainly be argued that the subject is notable even if the plans don't work out. If it went to AFD it would probably either survive, or be userfied until the outcome of the plan is clarified. Meters (talk) 21:02, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

• This is not a very clean 3RR case. The talk page thread was opened at 7:00 by John from Idegon, not Zlassiter, and at 7:05 Zlassiter responded but did not address the valid concerns of improperly supported material, OR and SYNTH. John from Idegon's last edit to the article was at 7:06. At 7:20 the 3RR case was opened, but not until 7:22 was John from Idegon given a 3RR warning. So, a 3RR case was opened without any attempt to discuss the issues, before the editor was warned, and despite the fact that the editor in question was attempting to discuss the issues and was no longer editing the article. Meters (talk) 21:02, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Declined - This report is not in proper form and the above links are versions, not diffs. It is still unclear if there was any 3RR violation.

Comments:

This user has ownership issues with Olympic related articles. They have clearly violated the 3RR rule, even after a warning was placed and a discussion started (which they have contributed too). The discussion has barely started and they have reverted back to their preferred version without any comments from other users. The user has also removed large chunks of information from other related templates [82] and [83] Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 18:57, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Also note that the user blanked this report here [84] Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 19:03, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Sportsfan 1234, I think that you do not read what I already explained in the edit summary, and then suddenly you just simply reverted my edits with so many negative, irrational remarks, followed by unpleasant administrative reports. Are you trying to instantly block and threaten me on Wikipedia? You should have read and understood my cases and explanations before you react. I already placed them on the talk pages for the said articles, including WT:OLY. You didn't even give me enough RESPECT when I'm fixing something. You kept on reverting my edits so many times, and you never stop. How long have you ever done the revert power on Wikipedia? Is this your regular habit? Sorry if I ask you too many questions, because I need to know about you situation on why do you have to do this every single time. Raymarcbadz (talk) 19:14, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

I did not break the 3RR. My edits in the last 3 days were responding to reverts with comments about adding secondary sources. Which I did. Editor Jytdog has a long history of wikilawyering and abusing the system in order to bully newer editors like me. If some admin could warn him of his behavior it would be productive for the future of other editors too.Bigbaby23 (talk) 08:05, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

Comments:

While I was changing the content because of logical reasons, the user keeps reverting the changes just saying something like "This is English Wikipedia, it should be this way", seemingly without even reading the article. Never addressed comments to my editing and the only time he showed up at the discussion page was after I asked him to do so in the comment to my reverse, but then he said all the same stuff and didn't follow the discussion. I'm sorry if I am reporting him too soon, just that was my first attempt to improve Wikipedia a little and it turned out to be pretty frustrating. 129.49.101.14 (talk) 21:29, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

So, what's your excuse for edit warring? Someguy1221 (talk) 21:34, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

I was confused and didn't know what to do. First thing I've done was explaining my point in the "talk" section, but seeing nothing there and considering speed of reverses I thought that Jim is not going to show up there and then I tried just doing same thing he did and seeing what will come from it. It is not a good excuse, I agree. If I should be blocked - be that way. But I believe that experienced user should be more reasonable and mindful while 'assisting' others.

Also thanks for your feedback, that's nice to see that people keep an eye on what's going on, even if what they have to say is that I'm wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.49.101.14 (talk) 21:55, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

I think you're both wrong for edit warring, though I'm glad you're trying to discuss the matter at the talk page. I don't think any admin action needs to be taken at this point, but I'd ask both you and User:Jim1138 (who has been here long enough he should have known better) to refrain from further edits to the article until the dispute is resolved. See Wikipedia:Dispute resolution for guidance on what to do if you can't work this out with Jim but want to press the issue anyway. Someguy1221 (talk) 22:00, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Comments:
User is edit warring to remove a source from the article. Three other editors have inserted the material, but he keeps removing it, saying it is subscription-only (it is Wall Street Journal) so it is not an acceptable source. User is also edit-warring to add a SourceWatch source to the page, when the talk page consensus is against inclusion of this WP:USERGENERATED source. Also note that this user was warned for edit-warring on this same article last month. Champaign Supernova (talk) 01:15, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

Response:

User:Champaign Supernova was first reverted here for making edits that were already the topic of disagreement and discussion talk here. Instead, the user edit warred here. User:Champaign Supernova was also asked to stop warring and engage in discussion on the talk page here and here. But rather than engage in that discussion and consensus building - or risk 3RR for continued warring, the user preemptively; and without a warning, posted this notice on my talk page. Before that, the user had been told at talk that the SourceWatch quote in the article does not violation WP:UGC, as was pointed out here. But since the user didn't like that explanation, or the fact that the user's edits in the middle of discussion had violated WP:CONSENSUS and were reverted because of it, now the user is forum shopping - instead of either discussing or consensus building. X4n6 (talk) 02:07, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

Pease note on Talk their initial dismissive response; their second response where they mischaracterize their own edits and don't respond to issues of MEDMOS and OR, and add a personal attack, and the third response, where they finally acknowledge the MEDMOS issue and yet (oddly dismissively) acknowledge their lack of competence in MEDMOS (yet they are edit warring insisting their edits are correct...); heck they are just edit warring.

The "strange response" was perplexity as to what edit war was supposed to be happening before I was aware anyone was even aware of my edits. Check the timestamp.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: diff (full discussion here).

Comments: I am here due to several reversions between myself and Lemongirl942, ongoing since Monday. In regard to my two reverts, both were done on the grounds that the editor did not, in either edit description or on the BLP talk page, address the guideline backing the initial deletion, and did not provide a valid counterargument per WP:AAEW, particularly WP:FIXED and WP:DISCUSSED.

I am not as experienced in this forum as with RfC, and would like to request neutral and experienced arbitration to determine the next step. Thank you for your attention on this matter. Yvarta (talk) 18:30, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

Wow, 24 hours after this happened? And "ongoing", seriously? Apparently the filer doesn't understand WP:BRD and is also ignoring prior consensus. Despite multiple RFCs, they started an RFC again and it didn't go their way. So now they decided to try and edit the article itself citing that apparently it is an egregious BLP violation (despite the RFC). I reverted back to the long term statusquo version and warned and yet they continued despite my efforts to discuss here. As noted previously by Nomoskedasticity, I am increasingly seeing this as an attempt to game the system. The filer should be warned not to POV push on the article. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 21:18, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

This appears to be a frivolous report. Judging by discussion on the talk page link, the filer did not have consensus for the removal of the material in question. K.e.coffman (talk) 22:11, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

BOOMERANG applies, Discussion is still ongoing and so therefore there is no consensus for the removal, LG even tried to explain to YV and it seems to no avail, The only person who should be blocked for edit warring is YV. –Davey2010^Talk 22:41, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

If an administrator feels I have acted out of place and should be sanctioned, I will be happy to accept a block and learn from my mistakes. I would like to note that several of the editors above have been actively involved in the RfC under contention, with very strong opinions. I am aware my action is controversial, but I will stand strong behind my edit unless I see evidence I acted out of line, and that the guideline I have cited does not apply.

• Page protected I protected Liberal and Progressive Muslim movements, which has an ongoing edit war. The diffs you show above are exempt per WP:3RRNO, as Artoxx is a confirmed sock. Still, MehrdadFR, please engage in discussion first and edit second when editing in contentious areas or where good-faith editors have disagreed with your edits. WP:BRD is a good method of ensuring your edits have consensus. You are edit warring on several articles, and if you continue doing so, you will be blocked. Let's not get that far, alright? If you believe someone is socking, Wikipedia won't fall apart in the few days it takes for you to find a resolution at WP:SPI, and you can revert after a determination of sockpuppetry has been made if necessary. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 02:07, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

He has in the past regularly abused and edit warred DMorpheus2 in the article of Christie suspension, see here.

Mr Dingley has a big ego and gives no space for other editors. He should be stopped now.

He also makes this article a "British Article".[125] This is not a British arrticle it is a German article.

Comments:
G'day, sorry, I'm not seeing the 3RR violation here. At best there are two reversions from Andy and to be honest they seem to be sparked by your own reversions. I think you are potentially misunderstanding 3RR and also misinterpreting Andy's edit in relation to the British English tag. Indeed, it seems a valid option (as would US English) given that there is no such thing as "German English" variation. Nevertheless, given that the formatting change was reverted, initiating a discussion probably would have been the better option (on Andy's part) after this revert: [126]. I note though, that you could have also started the discussion on the article's talk page if you disagree so strongly with the change and to be honest, I do not believe that you have made a valid attempt at resolving the dispute before posting here (unless you can provide a proper diff of you doing so). Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 04:40, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

This specific user also have conflict of interest for this subject as they have been in contact with the subject through Twitter and possibly email and I have evidence of that if an admin wants to look at that which can be shared privately. Moreover, this user is also an SPA on Christine Fair. He was edit-warring on the same page over a month ago and was given an edit-warring notice, he stopped edit-warring but came back after a month and started same thing over again. This is a clear attempt to game the system. I am pretty sure he will go low profile after this report and then come back and disrupt the page again. He needs to understand that the article cannot be tailored to subject's wishes.

Comments:

I'm closing this with no action, Mlpearc. The edit warring warning was not given until after the final revert, and previous warnings were inaccurate. You continually accused Randy in both edit summaries and talk page messages of adding content that was unsourced, or only cited an unreliable source. These accusations are, in fact, false. You characterize YouTube as an unreliable source, but if you had followed the link, you would have found a video of Jesse Ventura being interviewed by Joe Rogan, backing up precisely the content Randy has been adding. In this case YouTube is merely a repository and convenience link for an interview that actually happened between those two individuals. If you want to argue against inclusion of this content on some other grounds, fine, but I'm going to count incorrect warnings as if the user was never warned at all.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: For what it's worth, I rarely attempt to discuss edit wars on articles' talk pages both because they're mostly behavior issues and because I'm insulted by the patronizing hidden text ("You've tried to resolve this edit war on the article talk page, haven't you?") here. Here's the discussion that matters: User talk:Ontheroad111#October 2016

Comments:

Here's the IP editor admitting they're socking. The tactic here is radio silence; wait until the 24-hour window has gone by then go back to edit warring.

I left the bad image up for two and a half hours while I waited for Ontheroad111 to discuss, then reverted. The sock identity reverted me one effing minute later with an edit summary reading "not a chance." Here's this person happily admitting they have no intention of adhering to policy. Given how patient this person is when it comes to reappearing out of the void to revert, the blocks ought to be a bit substantial. RunnyAmiga ※ talk 18:57, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Request to have this user blocked. This appears to be the latest episode of an ongoing issue related to the sockpuppet problem that re-occurs on the Wrocław and Poland articles, for months now. This particular user once blocked creates a new account and goes back to edit warring, ignoring repeated requests to start a discussion first. The reoccurring hallmark of this user is his focus on the Wrocław and Poland related articles, such as here: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/WKS Śląsk Wrocław/Archive

If you look at this user's contribution page [175] you'll find the focus on the Wroclaw and Poland topics, as with the past blocked accounts. --E-960 (talk) 15:21, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

Janthana has chosen to engage in some weird edit war, telling me that I'm "back at it again," when my only attempt here is to clean up an obvious BLP violation, or at least ask that the information be properly cited. I realize that I too am guilty on 3RR, though I believe my reverts fall under the BLP violation exemption. Janthana appears clearly engaged in WP:NOTHERE conduct with a needless edit war that isn't even over content, but rather some weird personal grudge. Note that Janthana's only edits to this page are from 2013 (unless sock purppetry is involved, a very distinct possibility), and pops up yesterday engaging in accusatory conduct. Thanks for your attention to this matter. Mystic Technocrat (talk) 15:05, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

The attempt to discuss the issue ended with Shellwood removing the message from her or his talk page and copying it to mine with a particularly amusing edit summary ("next time provide evidence, dont go cry to admin, you know nothing about shwish law and history"). She or he reverted my first edit, which was explained, with no explanation at all. Subsequent reverts labelled my edits mere vandalism. She or he also referred to my attempt to discuss the issue as vandalism "by princess Surtsicna". I feel that I am either dealing with a child or a troll. Needless to say, citing Wikipedia guidelines did not help at all. Surtsicna (talk) 06:38, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

It is you against everyone else again, concerning the royalties and their titles they are all mentioned in several other articles. Edit wars you lost. [189] [190] We cant change laws in country just to suit your edits. Read the Swedish act of succession and see how royalties are addressed what surnames they got.Shellwood (talk) 10:49, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Whilst Shellwood in this case is right in the matter concerned, his/her behaviour is really bad. Take these discussions in a civilised manner on a talk page(for example on Surtsicna's talk page, heading "Swedish Royalty"), without personal attacks and accusations of vandalism (we are talking about a difference of style here, not vandalism) and don't remove traces/discussions of what others are writing to you. --Marbe166 (talk) 11:03, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

You both are out of line. You both have violated the 3RR on that particular article. And you both need to work this thing out. However from what I can see user Surtsicna seems to be the one that is mostly combative. Like this nom for example, just because you both can not agree to have a discussion at the articles talk page, but instead uses the revert button as a play toy. Work it out at the Princess talk page. Quite weird though that Surtsicna reports Shellwood for breaking the 3RR while Surtsicna himself has violated the same rule. Please. BabbaQ (talk) 13:35, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Note that the article in question has been protected for four days because of the revert war between both the users in question here.BabbaQ (talk) 13:51, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Please also kindly note that the issue (whether of Sweden should be part of the bold lede of the article or not) is not only applicable to Princess Sofia's article, the same removal has been done by Surtsicna to the other articles on members of the Swedish Royal Family, that is why I initiated the discussion on Surtsicna's talk page. Please resolve the issue there, thanks. --Marbe166 (talk) 14:03, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

He was really telling lies and let lies existing on wikipedia, which was unacceptable. I want to totally disscuss this case again: I have found there is no Claude Debussy' Moonlight on that article. My team in reality have trained me from educational perspectives for tens more years about this melody. Then, I have added one upon. the basic impressionism points have all been respected especially the techniques and skills, which was also tens more'years' summary. However, someone didn't care about commons' voices - yeah, it was softlavender. He didn't make any communications with me, then delected it, but puting one even worse version, which depending on my career responsibilities, I have very clear stated which senconds losing impressionism and Debussy's style. In order to protect his hornour and show some good manners to get peace, I put one much advanced version in talk place. However, he, again, said lots of urgly words and abusive language without respecting the facts and delecting even the version in Talk. Talk place is for commons and users' free talks. It was him who let walk place lose freedom. How could he argue my false? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jason M. C., Han (talk • contribs) 01:32, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

3. [214] - "source 10 - no connection between Khazars and Sabirs is mentioned; fringe theory pushing" - on page 440 is referred to the etymology of the ethnonym, while in other references to both the etymology and their semantic connection to the Khazars ethnonym.
4. [215] - "source falsification source 16 does not contain mention of Sabirs at all on page 279" - said that only because could not read the page online, what the...? If anything else, there two other references.

• Major

I saw their conversation with Rob on Rob's talk page. They obviously have no interest in discussing the matter on why their version is incorrect and just want to keep edit warring. You're trying to keep colors in compliance, so you're fine. They're not, and if they're not going to understand, then a temporary block is definitely needed to hopefully get the point across.

Result: User:Jamesmiko is warned for edit warring. The article has been placed under three days of full protection by User:Ymblanter. Per the discussion at User talk:BU Rob13#Atlanta United FC, User:Jamesmiko seems to be determined to ignore the mandate of MOS:CONTRAST when choosing colors for table headers. He did break 3RR while trying to enforce his own choice of colors. Regardless of the binding status of the CONTRAST guideline, we do enforce the WP:Edit warring rules here. If Jamesmiko continues to revert against consensus when protection expires he may be blocked. EdJohnston (talk) 16:30, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

According to Wikipedia:Protection policy #Content disputes, "administrators normally protect the current version, except where the current version contains content that clearly violates content policies" The version protected violates our accessibility policy, specifically WP:COLOUR. Please don't force our visually impaired readers to suffer three more days of this nonsense; change Atlanta United FC to a version that complies with WCAG AAA standard.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [240]

Comments:

The user is a classic case of WP:POINT. The warning above was the first of many, and I plead with him to either (A) cease the edit war and work things out with us, or (B) seek arbitration if he felt like he was being treated unfairly.

However, he promptly deleted any warning out of denial, most likely hoping to cover it the violation, trying to mislead admins by suggesting he was just 'removing vandalism' when there was none (he's clearly a seasoned editor who knows the difference between vandalism and contributions he doesn't agree with, etc):[241]

He also makes a personal threat in the subject-heading of one of his disruptive reverts, warning me: "You will learn to seek consensus for radical changes." If you look at my edit, I added a mere two words. My changes were FAR from 'radical'(whatever he meant by that).

This user has a history of edit-warring if you review his history carefully, He will often revert to million dollar phrases like WP:BOLD or WP:EXCEPTIONAL without fully taking the time to see what those mean and erroneously applies them as justifications of his reverts in his edit wars in what appears to be an attempt to give the illusion of authority.

The edit warring from this user is chronic and, as a case in point, when the user finally moved on from the page once the damage was already done he resumed an old rivarly and edit war on this page, with this edit:

1. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Soviet%E2%80%93Afghan_War&diff=prev&oldid=744418221

If you review the talk section of that page, in fact, you will find several instances of miserable editors accusing this disruptive user of edit warring and unilateral POV editing. Ironically, this user claims his edit war with me is over me daring to accuse a partisan political commentator of relying on conspiracy theories, claiming that to do so is outrageous, only for himself on this page to accuse his liberal-minded opponents as "Chomskyite conspiracy theorists".[242] Normally it wouldn't have enough merit by itself to mention here BUT considering that the editor is pontificating, it further calls his motives into question: I suspect this and other behaviors falls into cunning disruptive behavior by political editors guilty of WP:GAMING using a combination of false accusations and edit warring under a thin-veil of self-righteousness.

In many cases, the editor is prone to belittle others and assume bad faith in the service of emotional, coercive disruptive editing aimed at curbing the work of others:

(just read the angry rant in the subject heading here)

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:TheTimesAreAChanging&diff=prev&oldid=744099090

(RV patronizing warning from hack editor. I have every right--indeed, obligation--to rollback a sockpuppet attack on a BLP; SPECIFICO has yet to engage the issues on talk, instead lecturing me about "edit wars." Come off it!)

If need be, I can list more examples if that will help but you get the gist.

Sorry for the longwindedness of this report! I only mention ALL of this since it helps to establish motive and state of mind, demonstrated a clear pattern and behavioral mindset of the disruptive editor as one who likes to pick fights and bully other editors over content. That said, feel free to make fun of my verbose and rambling nature! (my wife does)LOL

For my part in all of this, I confess that in trying to run around and plug holes in this proverbial dam I may have also inadvertently violated the 3RR rule, though I haven't counted to be sure. In that event, though, I'm willing to face the consequences. But it wasn't for lack of trying to do my part to 'civilly' discourage this editor from his edit war and protect the benign contributions of others. IN any case, if I too get a time out, I accept that.

Thanks to the admins for their time!

(Nice job of not informing me of this thread. It is significant that you failed to do so, because I'm genuinely surprised you would show your face here.) Oneshotofwhiskey should remember the old adage: People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Oneshotofwhiskey openly boasts that he is WP:NOTHERE to build a neutral encyclopedia. In his own words, he is an activist intending to expose "the paranoia and most outrageous behaviors of convicted felon Dinesh D'Souza (who himself sees conspiracy theories everywhere and relies solely on emotional reasoning for his worldview)"; this mentality has unsurprisingly caused him to challenge basic tenets of WP:BLP. For example, Oneshotofwhiskey replaced the previously accepted photo of D'Souza with his mugshot, and accused D'Souza of promoting "conspiracy theory" in the lead. Discussion on the talk page has yielded no consensus in favor of labeling D'Souza a "convicted felon" or "conspiracy theorist"—in fact, despite Oneshotofwhiskey's suggestions to the contrary, he is essentially alone in advocating those changes. While other editors have reverted Oneshotofwhiskey's most blatantly POV semantic changes, it is true that only I have attempted to WP:ROLLBACK his edits in their entirety. Yet I believe his POV-pushing is so extreme it constitutes vandalism to a BLP—and that my reverts of his attack on Dinesh D'Souza are a justifiable response to said vandalism. Of course, Oneshotofwhiskey (and his IP friend that shows up within minutes of him being reverted to reinstate his changes) has tried to muddy the issues beyond the seemingly blatant vandalism to the lead, arguing that his unilateral deletion of thousands of bytes of material sourced to RS like Alan Dershowitz elevates our conflict to a genuine content dispute. I disagree: He has no consensus to justify large-scale deletion of long-standing material, he has refused to answer my inquiries on talk (still waiting!), and his assertion that Dershowitz's attributed statement constitutes original research is at best a misunderstanding he has refused to correct—at worst an intentionally deceitful edit summary providing only a smokescreen for his real motivation.

It is telling that Oneshotofwhiskey seeks to conflate the heated debate at Talk:Soviet–Afghan War with material he added not to a talk page, but to a BLP in Wikipedia's neutral voice. Say what you will about the content dispute at Soviet–Afghan War, but it's hard not to notice that it has not resulted in any massive edit war (despite the far greater significance and controversy surrounding the relevant issues); to the contrary, all of the participants have committed themselves not to make any changes until consensus has been achieved (and, yes, I am confident my latest edit is a significant step forward in that regard). Oneshotofwhiskey has been around for one month (or so he claims—this is belied by extensive knowledge of Wikipedia policy), and during that time has been constantly embroiled in edit wars (mostly at film-related articles like Ghostbusters (2016 film) and now D'Souza's documentaries, accusing others of "POV vandalism," ect.); despite my behavior in 2012, this is my first major edit war in four years: It's obvious that he's the problem here. Finally, Oneshotofwhiskey only brings up the fact that I accused SPECIFICO of hack editing because I have refrained from reciprocating his far more vituperative personal attacks (e.g., "Your excuses and spins about D'Souza's scam-artisty, journalistic fraud, and unfounded conspiracy theories betray your political agenda. It has no place here. Nor did your failed attempt at a SPI witch hunt that went no where, and was clearly in service of your agenda," "You claimed oh so arrogantly that you 'know a sock when you see it' and then tried to use that in service of an agenda to silence another editor. Apparently you/ew shouldn't trust your eyes and your credibility has suffered as a result of your penchance for false accusations," accusing me of "egomaniac paranoia"). I have insisted over and over again that Oneshotofwhiskey is the one making radical changes, so the onus is on him to achieve consensus per WP:BRD. If, however, he (or his IP friend) is able to force his changes through because no-one besides myself is prepared to get down in the mud with him—and the admins declare a pox on all houses—then Oneshotofwhiskey will have effectively made a mockery of Wikipedia policy. Lengthy discussions such as the one at Talk:Soviet–Afghan War are, in fact, how the sausage of consensus is made. I have no particular love for D'Souza (Oneshotofwhiskey's aspersions to the contrary are mere projection based on his own fierce antipathy towards the subject of the article), but neither the more blatant vandalism nor the mass deletions are the sort of minor changes best supplemented with additional material or little tweaks—they are WP:BOLD, they make WP:EXCEPTIONAL claims against a living person, and allowing them to stand with no consensus would violate every norm of how Wikipedia is supposed to function.TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 20:48, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

The fourth diff in the first group is by a different editor. The second group of 4 diffs seems to be a clear 3RR violation. Zero^talk 00:01, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

My bad user:Zero0000. I think I mistyped a character when I was forced to input that manually when my copy and paste failed on me (older computer, couldn't get the shortcut to work properly, etc.) Here WAS/IS the fourth edit I meant to include, etc.(corrected above) #[243]

Oneshotofwhiskey (talk) 00:50, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Note that that "fourth revert" actually precedes the others, took place the day before, and was in response to somewhat different changes—some of which were discussed on the talk page and seem to have been resolved. Now, I certainly admit to violating 3RR at 2016: Obama's America, although without realizing it at the time: After Oneshotofwhiskey made 10 edits, I deleted one word he added ("conspiracy"), and this word then became the subject an edit war when (to my surprise) he insisted his language was appropriate. He re-added the word three times, and I deleted it three more times—under circumstances such as that, I would argue both editors should be punished or neither. I also believe that describing a living person as a proponent of "conspiracy theory" in Wikipedia's neutral voice is a BLP violation unless very strong sources are provided—something Oneshotofwhiskey refused to do.TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 01:43, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Update: Oneshotofwhiskey has recently been blocked for 31 hours due to socking. If his sockpuppet IP is counted, he restored the word "conspiracy" four times. So, it's up to the admins to decide whether and how much to punish the two of us for our 3RR violations: Perhaps 31 hours is punishment enough, or perhaps his block should be extended; whether or not I deserve any leniency due to the underlying circumstances is something I am obviously too biased to argue. But there is no doubt that, as a strict matter of fact, both Oneshotofwhiskey and myself reverted more than three times.TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 01:52, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

The socking accusation was overturned on appeal, based on "misunderstandings." I can provide documentation if necessary based on email correspondence if that is appropriate or required. I will leave it at that regarding this other editor making it an issue here and have good faith that he was operating on a misunderstanding. As for the rest, the edit-warring is unjustified. Glad to see him finally admit to that. Onwards and upwards.Oneshotofwhiskey (talk) 17:20, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, let's see the documentation. You submitted an unblock request through UTRS, which was then closed, and as I recall you were still blocked afterwards. There's nothing in your block log to support your claim: It looks like you were unblocked because your 31 hours was up. If it turns out you are lying about this, then your behavior borders on the pathological.TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 19:57, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Again, your personal attacks speak volumes about your agenda and you know better than to do that. I was trying to be civil here. In fact, I made this twist of events public considering I have nothing to hide and to extend the olive branch. However, to address your 'concern': The admin who responded to my request in email said it was "easier to let the block expire" than to "go through the trouble to appeal that part of it." However, the part of the block that was overturned was the part where a valid check user was performed. It turns out that they simply took you at your word, which is not what they are supposed to do given I provided a sufficient rebuttal. Once that checkuser was actually performed, it became clear there was no link between my IP and the anon you confused with my edits. The appealing admin also conceded that there was "insufficient evidence to perform a valid behavioral investigation." It failed along the guidelines of WP:DUCK. They erred because they took what you said at face value. However, in their defense, since normally there is a high incidence of socking on these pages it is an easy mistake to make. That is why we have an appeals process. I was told, after all, it was at worst a slap of the wrist so to let it go in either case. That is all I wanted: I didn't care about the time-out. I just wanted them to acknowledge I hadn't done anything wrong. But in the interest of making peace, I was also advised to act in good faith and extend to you the benefit of the doubt. I was told that maybe you were operating under a misunderstanding. Fair enough. However, keep up the personal attacks and the smug attitude I can reconsider that generosity on my part. We can move forward OR you can continue your disruptiveness toward me. I've been trying my best to work things out with you on the talk pages, and I've conceded several of my positions already in the interest of compromise. The ball is now in your court. I have nothing left to say here on this matter. Good luck.Oneshotofwhiskey (talk) 20:38, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

TheTimesAreAChanging is WP:NOTHERE -- a POV battleground editor who short-circuits into personal attacks and off-topic rants at the drop of a hat. A TBAN from American Politics is required to prevent further disruption. SPECIFICO talk 02:58, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

Glad this came up. "TheTimesAreAChanging" has also persistently personally attacked SPECIFICO who is a thoughtful editor who stays civil for the most part. As recently as this example [244], user "TheTimesAreAChanging" attacked SPECIFICO for his name, making fun of him for picking a name that "sounds like a robot", and other mean-spirited digs. I mention this as yet another example of the bad faith, edit-warring disruptive mindset he is bringing this, not just to me, but against others on the pages that some of us are humbly trying to constructively edit. Again, this disruptive editor can not have it both ways. He clearly is versed in the rules of wiki and will lecture us at end about perceived violations against him, but then commits the same behavior with below-the-belt personal attacks like the "robot" insult. Clearly he knows better but is projecting. To whomever reads this, thanx again for your time.Oneshotofwhiskey (talk) 04:59, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

I was criticizing SPECIFICO's edit summary—"Restored well-sourced NPOV noteworthy. Use talk if you disagree. The criterion for article content is noteworthiness, not notability of each detail. The content is widely reported by RS as cited."—which was clearly intended to conceal, rather than reveal, his actual reason for reinstating your mass deletion. As I noted: "His edit summaries [are] so vaguely written and acronym-heavy it is impossible to guess what the underlying issues might be."TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 06:24, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

• Page protected – there appears to be a content dispute on the page. Consider dispute resolution. This page has been fully protected for one week due to content-related disputes. TheTimesAreAChanging and Oneshotofwhiskey: You are both in violation of 3RR over this article, and what makes it even more of an issue is the fact that it is currently under discretionary sanctions by the arbitration committee. But because neither one of you have edited the article after being warned of the discretionary sanctions imposed on the article, no blocks will be imposed at this time. You both are on a final warning basis. You two are to discuss the issues on the article's talk page and in a civil manner. Failure to do so, or engaging in further edits without consensus will result in discretionary sanctions. Please work this out peacefully between you two. I wish you both the best of luck :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:03, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

• I don't see much good behavior from either of these editors and I don't see either of them contributing to the quality of the Dinesh D'Souza but rather just pushing opposing viewpoints without end. I recommend indefinite topic bans for both of them from any articles that concern Dinesh D'Souza. Zero^talk 06:01, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

@Zero0000: totally agree. A couple of TBans should sort out this kind of tendentious editing: particularly when both parties refuse to cooperate and use our procedures as weapons to win editing disputes. _Muffled ^Pocketed 06:57, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

I do not think it is fair that you are grading me based upon a curve against the other user. Other than this report, I have not used procedure like this elsewhere. I'm certainly not using it as a weapon. There was an edit war. What was I supposed to do? It's better to "report, and not retaliate." As for the rest, if the only solution to resolve this is to topic ban us both, then so be it if it is for the greater good of the article and Wikipedia. However, if you thoughtfully look at my edits, I've been trying my best to resolve this peacefully with the editor. If it is too late for that, then so be it. Thank you for your input.Oneshotofwhiskey (talk) 07:54, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

My edits have been entirely in the form of rollbacks to the previously-accepted version. I have never edited the article before and have added no original material of my own. Nor have I ranted at length regarding my personal feelings about D'Souza—unlike Oneshotofwhiskey, who states his goal is to expose "the paranoia and most outrageous behaviors of convicted felon Dinesh D'Souza (who himself sees conspiracy theories everywhere and relies solely on emotional reasoning for his worldview)." Believe it or not, I have no particular interest in or love for D'Souza: I just had the page on my Watchlist, along with nearly 2,000 others.TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 06:24, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

EC: In fact, I added Dinesh D'Souza to my Watchlist fairly recently, after watching last summer's D'Souza-Cenk Uygur Politicon debate. The debate piqued my curiosity about what Wikipedia had to say about him, and I noticed some POV material I meant to return to, but never did. (The material in question was added by SkepticAnonymous sockpuppet Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz; I still suspect that Oneshotofwhiskey is another SA sock, checkuser notwithstanding, because of many similarities between Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz and Oneshotofwhiskey—such as their shared interest in Ghostbusters (2016 film) and D'Souza, and the fact that after the former was banned the latter continued making the same arguments in his place on the D'Souza talk page).TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 06:48, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

There he goes again. I never said anywhere "my goal is to expose D'Souza." Perhaps I lost my temper after he attacked me with false allegations, hence that statement from me regarding what I saw as a partisan defense of D'Souza's corruption, who is in fact a felon who went to jail for serious charges. However, despite my personal feelings about that and my own political biases, I have no agenda to expose any politician. I simply didn't agree with this editor's constant reverts of my contributions to the page, most of which were neutral, mild and well-sourced. In fact, I don't want to continue this debate further. I only jumped in since the editor is trying to put words in my mouth and make claims about me that are simply untrue. The admin made a great suggestion here and I'm trying to follow it. I wish he would do the same and start using good faith.Oneshotofwhiskey (talk) 06:44, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

P.S. As for his allegation that I am a sock of a formerly banned member, this was already resolved in an SPI where I was cleared of this (false) accusation and where "TheTimesAreAChanging" was admonished for how he handled it. Bringing it up here again is an unnecessary distraction and borders on a personal attack. This report is already long enough. Can we just let it be and let the admins sort it out without more mudslinging and emoting?Oneshotofwhiskey (talk) 07:54, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

Oneshotofwhiskey: You need to understand that proper dispute resolution requires teamwork, collaboration, and consensus. You need to discuss your disagreement on the article's talk page and patiently work with one another and work towards an agreement and solution together. The article in dispute is under discretionary sanctions, meaning that sanctions can be imposed by any uninvolved administrator to stop disruption to the project. I'm a relatively new administrator; I haven't imposed a discretionary sanction before, and I'd really really like to keep it that way :-). If nothing comes of an attempt at a peaceful discussion on the article's talk page, then you're obviously free to follow the dispute resolution guidelines and go through the proper channels to get assistance with resolving the issue. I highly encourage you to please please move on from this with a positive mindset and with expanding the Encyclopedia with the highest quality content possible as your top priority. If you do this, everything will naturally fall into place and things will be absolutely fine! :-)

TheTimesAreAChanging: If you have evidence of sock puppetry, you need to file a report at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations with that evidence. Making accusations of sockpuppetry in a discussion outside of an SPI report is generally disruptive... I mean, what good does it do, right? Pointing fingers and saying "I think he's a sock" is only going to make a dispute worse and make an angry and frustrated editor even more angry and frustrated. That just makes things harder, man! :-) Remember that we want to try and do everything possible to lead other editors to a civil and peaceful resolution to their disagreements, and we need to assume good faith if we don't have satisfactory evidence to prove otherwise. It sounds to me like you noticed a current event occurring that involved the article subject and added the article to your watchlist with due diligence in mind, and you probably now feel that you're plopped in the middle of a dispute that you didn't intend to be so involved in. I totally get that; I've been there, dude. Just understand that repeatedly reverting content-related issues (especially to an article under discretionary sanctions) will generally get you sucked into the dispute spotlight, which is a drag to be in. Lets move on from this with a fresh perspective and a positive learning experience, and lets work the problem out on the article's talk page :-)

Both of you have been notified of the discretionary sanctions imposed on this article, you've both been formally warned to discuss any content disputes on the article's talk page or use the proper channels (with evidence) to report policy violations, and you've both been told to seek proper dispute resolution before making further edits or reverts. Failure to do so will result in sanctions. I'm going to close this thread as "Page protected". Please follow my advice, and please work things out properly and peacefully :-). ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 11:58, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

For those who are looking for an explanation behind my closure of this thread and the decision I reached regarding administrative action, I explained in-depth on my user talk page in a response to someone's message here. Please feel free to reach out to me if anybody has additional questions or concerns :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 14:12, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

I see no problem with Oshwah's closure of this report. Complaints at AN3 need to be brief and usually they need to be handled quickly. Long posts full of recriminations make it difficult to see what the underlying problems might be. If issues remain, anyone dissatisfied with this closure might raise them at ANI.

I must say, I had no idea such a rule existed, and Mr Weller's message only showed up after my third revert. If I had known about the rule, I would have complied with it. Sorry about that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bocaj12 (talk • contribs) 19:00, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

User:Bocaj12 that was your 4th revert, I left one out. You continued to revert after I warned you. If you undo that revert you probably won't be blocked. Doug Weller talk 19:11, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

As I said, I did not see your message until the page refreshed after my revert, and did not revert anything after you thereby brought the rule to my attention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bocaj12 (talk • contribs) 19:13, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

No, I haven't, I was limited with time these days and also I hoped an user more active on those articles who also noteced evidence of socking on their behalve would do it. There is one aspect which is important to mention. The editor accusing me here is providing phalse accusations. I didn't removed any sourced information, he is the one having a weak source and missusing it to fit their bias. Look at the edit summaries and the edits themselves here. He edited, he was reverted, and he edit-warred. He was reverted because his soource says "...most probably don't exceed..." and using it as if the author says it as a fact ommiting the "most probably". Another nice trick they use is to claim "Western authors claim..." when he only has that "most probably"-source, and also there are clearly other Western authors clearly claimiing the opposite. The issue has extensively been discussed in a specific subsection ar article's talk-page created specially for that issue, here: Talk:Serbs/Total number. So basically they ignore all strong sources found there, and think their source (not even specialised in the subject and actually claiming "msot probably" is the holly gral of the matter. Their purpose is not to find balance over the subject but just to cherry-pick sources and force their bias. FkpCascais (talk) 16:27, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

3. [276]
4. [277] (see also [278])

More generally, I believe this user has a problem with assessing the reliability of sources. See, e.g., Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/White savior narrative in film (3rd nomination), where Froglich knows better than the "anencephalics who presently dictate academia" and his history of pushing climate change denial (see user talk page, under "Commie Chameleons").FNAS (talk) 10:30, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: none. Having read Froglich's talk page, I conclude that his standard response to anything he doesn't agree with is verbal abuse (e.g. [280]), not any constructive attempt at a resolution. An admin has already concluded that ([281]) that 'this user has had way, way too many "final warnings" already' for making personal attacks on other editors. FNAS (talk) 10:30, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Wow. I spent an hour looking through this and find the decision very surprising.

I don't see why FNAS was blocked here. SashiRolls (talk) 18:07, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

As an uninvolved editor who has crossed paths with neither of the two editors on or outside of Wikipedia and who does not understand the decision, I would like to add a courtesy ping to the administrator who reverted Froglisch's edits and who has apparently not been informed of this discussion. @Neutrality:

Comments:
Although the user has not strictly violated 3RR, he has made a total of 6 reverts in two days. Further, he refuses to use the talkpage, and even claims there was no consensus over the article's version on the talkpage, defines others' edits as vandalism (as evident from the diffs above), etc. He even removed the 3RR warning from his talkpage. He is an experienced editor who has a habit of deleting warnings and has used multiple accounts in the past. This might be the case with his current account as it only became active after an absence of 4 years. He only re-appeared when another user with a similar behaviour needed someone to help him in edit-warring over the PFC CSKA Sofia article. --Laveol ^T 18:24, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

User:Zefr, can you explain why you are filing this report while you appear to have easily broken WP:3RR on this article on October 20? The other party is certainly keeping up with you, but blocking both would be the simplest action. Do you think there is any exception to 3RR which applies to your edits? EdJohnston (talk) 22:41, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the opportunity to reply. I followed the recommended anti-war process by 1) taking the edits to the Talk page, 2) advising and warning User:Lithuanianlady on her Talk page, 3) providing edit comments intended to be instructive and constructive for not one but several different edits, and 4) seeking another editor's input, now on the Talk:Donald Gary Young page. Simply, I was trying to work through this with an editor, User:Lithuanianlady, determined to have her way, apparently with a nearly singular focus on this one topic. I encourage her to edit other articles constructively. --Zefr (talk) 23:15, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

These good intentions don't exempt you from WP:3RR. If I am the closer, you can avoid a block if you will promise to make no more edits on this article without a prior consensus in your favor on the talk page. EdJohnston (talk) 01:56, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
