Illinois Fighting Illini men's basketball (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). 72.66.51.129 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log): Time reported: 05:27, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

• Previous version reverted to: 17:38, May 20, 2007

There have now been a total of 9 reverts by this editor on these two IPs:

• 1st revert: 09:52, May 18, 2007
• 2nd revert: 12:32, May 18, 2007
• 3rd revert: 14:18, May 18, 2007
• 4th revert: 15:20, May 18, 2007
• 5th revert: 2007-05-19 23:08:55 by User:72.66.51.129 which is another address that User:207.114.16.210 has used in the past. This Comment just before the 5th revert was posted from User:72.66.51.129 but signed as User:207.114.16.210. Based on the editing history of these two users (focusing on topics related to Illinois or Indiana college basketball) I'm convinced that this the same person on both IP addresses.

Response

If any action is taken with regard to this alleged violation of the 3RR, I would only ask that all offenders be treated equally. To this extent, I would note that this dispute also involved violations of the three revert rule by User:Chiwara who twice made 3+ reverts to the Illinois Fighting Illini men's basketball article within 24 hours:

(1) 23:04 17 May 2007 (2) 15:43 18 May 2007 (3) 18:39 18 May 2007 and (1) 14:55 20 May 2007 (2) 05:44 21 May 2007 (3) 14:29 21 May 2007

The above notwithstanding, I would suggest that current discussions appear to be headed towards resolution and any blocking is unecessary and will simply inflame the situation. 207.114.16.210 15:53, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

This report is coming off the heels of a first report and block that happened a couple days ago. Like last time, the user is insistent that his preferred version of the article remain in place despite objections from several editors. Simões (^talk/_contribs) 06:30, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Three of the diffs are for List of pseudosciences and pseudoscientific concepts, the other is for Illinois Fighting Illini men's basketball. Therefore, no violation has been demonstrated. Please use the example format at the bottom of this page to avoid mistakes like this. --Selket ^Talk 08:23, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

I replaced that one with the one Simoes intended. The explanation is that at least one of these (the 1st or 2nd or both) was not a revert. In any case the article is back at the other version now.

It is clear that this is just more harassment by Simoes, as he has contributed nothing to the article over the past several days, while I have continued posting to the talk page and madesome edits to the article that have not been reverted.

• 2nd revert: 04:08, 20 May 2007
• 3rd revert: 02:25, 21 May 2007 The wording of his edit summary "Since the other version is fundamentally flawed for all the previously listed reasons, this is the version that should be addressed as it has been shaped to user comments." sounds like he didn't even glance at the intermediate version but simply reverted because it wasn't his. (I'm not saying that's what happened. I'm saying that's how it looked.)
• 4th revert: 02:48, 21 May 2007 This version isn't a 100% reversion because he edited it this time, but look at the intermediate version he changed. He keeps reverting this from a disambiguation page. Edit summary makes this look like another blind revert without looking at intermediate version: "Address the issues - this version has correct tense, no POV, correct grammar, sourcing and no spacing issues/poor use of images. Other version only suitable for fan site."

Notice that this is 4 reverts in 25 hours. However, (1) the 3RR guidelines stress that the rule is not a license to make 3 reverts every 24 hours ("Revert warring is disruptive, and the 3RR is not an entitlement to three 'free' reverts per day."), (2) this user has been endlessly cautioned about edit warring, (3) this user has gotten into trouble for 3RR before, so making 4 reverts in 25 hours comes across as an attempt to get around the rules without following their actual intent, (4) he has kept the Vision (comics), Vision (Marvel Comics), Vision (Timely Comics) locked in a war (he has kept numerous articles locked in edit wars), (5) he alone has been fighting against consensus to split Vision (Marvel Comics) and Vision (Timely Comics) into two separate articles, and (6) he apparently doesn't even know how to move articles correctly from one article name to another because his actions have caused disruption of discussion as talk pages and histories get left behind. I really, really hate to do this, but this edit war must stop.

Previous 3RR warning:

• 09:56, 25 September 2006 (not formal warning, just a caution)
• 17:52, 26 October 2006
• 18:39, 26 November 2006. (caution only? I'm not sure because of how often Asgardian deleted warnings and removed other contributor's comments from his talk page.)
• 17:40, 14 January 2007
• 18:24, 24 March 2007 (I thought this was just someone pointing out a violation to him, not a formal notice, until I saw comments at User talk:GentlemanGhost.

Notice that he has removed his 3RR block notices from his talk page despite previous warnings not to do that.

Doczilla 06:17, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Suggestion: The 25 hour timespan might make a block unlikely. Protecting Vision (comics) in its disambiguation page form might be sufficient action in this case. Protecting the disambiguation page might at least help reduce that aspect of the edit warring at Vision (Marvel Comics) and Vision (Timely Comics). Doczilla 07:16, 21 May 2007 (UTC) To be fair, I must point out that no new reversions have occurred to Vision (comics). Given the ongoing feuding[1] over the other two Vision (and many other) articles, though, protection for Vision (comics) might nevertheless help make a point about edit warring and help prompt the same kind of collaborative editing effort that may finally have resolved a different edit war involving some of the same players.[2] Doczilla 06:14, 25 May 2007 (UTC) Unfortunately, despite the hope expressed in my previous sentence, ongoing feuding between Asgardian and others has led to protection of one of the associated Vision articles(Talk:Vision_(Marvel_Comics)#Protected), although not the disambiguation page that initiated this 3RR complaint.

User has been blocked for edit warring before[3].

I'm a Beatle Fab Four. This Staberinde didn't follow controversy resolving rules. Look at the discussion page Talk:Bronze Soldier of Tallinn (→Advertisement) My reversions were fair, explained at the discussion page, and supported by several neutral users from Belgium and Finland, both in discussions and edits. For instance,

[4] [5] or "Thanks to Beatle Fab Four for reverting the deletion once more. LHOON 12:05, 21 May 2007 (UTC)" Beatle Fab Four 17:16, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Fab Four FOUGHT VANDALISM. A few Baltic nationalists try to change the content of the article from what it realy is to what they would like it to be. Fab Four fought vandalism and by that followed this rule http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Ignore_all_rules when there are a few people vandalizing, and the one who fights vandalism is one, ofcaurse he will have to revert more then 3 times, and by this law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Ignore_all_rules he's allowed to do so, and i think that every reasnoble man understands that. He was blocked by a user that didn't even learn the case, and who didn't care, he didn't use his logic, for him more then three reverts is enough to block (he is Sandstein). P.S. The administrator who blocked him blocked him and me, but he didn't block those from the other side of the arguments and didn't even give them a warrning, thought they were the once who started this edit war. M.V.E.i. 18:46, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

P.S. Staberinde is an Estonian who took part in the argument, his complain can't even be taken serioucly. M.V.E.i. 18:59, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Ah, so because Staberinde is an Estonian and dared to argue with Beatle Fab Four, so he cannot be taken "serioucly"? That smells like a racism to me, but I'll leave it at that.

User Beatle Fab Four has constantly tried to reinstate material not suitable to Wikipedia or what goes against Wikipedia rules (links to blogs, hate promotion sites) and done everything to disrupt normal work - edits on Bronze Soldier have pretty much stopped, because of that. He has been blocked repeatedly before (see [6]) and has a history of block evasion (Block evasion of Beatle Fab Four). Both he and M.V.E.i. constantly argue that he is just following rule Wikipedia:Ignore all rules while fighting vandalism, however, when asked to show evidence of that vandalism, they fail to do so.

I don't think blocking BFF for normal duration will have any effect - he is on a dynamic IP and has shown clearly and repeatedly that he will evade the block. Although this is not the place to request this, I think that in addition to the block, semi-protection of the article Bronze Soldier of Tallinn (and maybe its talk as well) is needed. DLX 19:30, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

DLX, Offcourse the article needs protectionm, from you, so you would stop reverting it. You and your friends here are trolls (in the Wikipedian meaning), now your playing it an honest man who offers protection for the article. You are the one because of who the problems started. M.V.E.i. 20:59, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

There has been edit-warring from multiple parties here; I have protected the article for three days. -- tariqabjotu 19:26, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Bingo! Just what i've said, there were a few groups fighting, and Sandstein blocked people only from one group but nevertheless didn't say anything to anyone from any other group. M.V.E.i. 21:13, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Simoes is trying to imply that I was the only editor who objected to the moon landing's inclusion, which is not true.

• Experienced editor has continued to revert despite ongoing talk page discussion involving multiple editors. Three content reversions + immediate reversion of the addition of a disputed tag to the article.--JJay 16:35, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

That is not a 3RR, if you 1) notice other editors have engaged in editing/reverting (for example calton reverting JJay's unreference removal) and 2) removing some's disputed tag when they did not dispute the entire list was explained on the talk. JJay is stalking me and won't discussion the issues at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/JJay. I think an admin. needs to step in and warn him on WP:STALK and WP:GAME. Arbustoo 16:43, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

• You reverted four times. That constitutes a violation. The presence of four other editors in the dispute is irrelevant. None violated 3RR. As for stalking, your accusation is laughable. My first edit to this article dates to April 2006 [30].This is an article that merits close monitoring because of the continual addition of accredited schools to the list. That has been my involvement in this for the last year. JJay 16:53, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

• User:JJay is litigious. Wikipedia isn't built on recriminatory behavior. I have observed that User:JJay tries to create an unpleasant environment for other editors. That is not conducive to anything with any semblance to a comfortable environment in which editors can build an encyclopedia. I have been at the receiving end of the behavior which I am describing too many times. User:JJay should do some introspection and stop applying litigiousness where camaraderie is far more called for. Bus stop 16:54, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
• As you well know, the first step in that is not to violate 3RR. JJay 16:59, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

• You are violating WP:STALK, WP:GAME, and have misread WP:3RR. Stop following my edits to revert me or be disruptive in my AFDs. You don't add content to articles. Arbustoo 17:00, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Interesting litany of accusations. Make them in the proper forum. In the present case, I would point out that I reverted twice. JJay 17:04, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

My "accusations" were made at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/JJay and currently with my recent ArbCom request. Arbustoo 17:37, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

It appears that some of the edits complained of are Arbusto adding sources, which is not a violation of 3RR. DGG 20:59, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Adding sources? You must be kidding. Let's see those diffs. --JJay 00:08, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

It was not a violation of 3RR. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the policy. Arbustoo 03:01, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Four reverts in under 24 hours = 3RR violation. No misunderstanding. Nothing fundamental. And no matter how many messages you leave here, the diffs above are quite clear. --JJay 03:11, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

No, you don't understand the policy as noted by others who are impartial. Arbustoo 03:12, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

• Or you could just drop the stick and move on. --Calton | Talk 12:29, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
• I have moved on. Since you enjoy essays, you might want to read Wikipedia:No angry mastodons. 3RR exists for a very good reason. So does WP:V. And edit warring to maintain an unsourced entry for an accredited school on a List of unaccredited institutions of higher learning, while smearing other parties as vandals and the like is not particularly cool. JJay
• How can you of all people be complaining about attacks? In my subjective experience I have yet to see anyone on Wikipedia engage in more attacking than you do. You have been attacking me in your every interaction with me. That is just my subjective experience. I think you need to do a bit of introspection concerning your own behavior. Wikipedia isn't about reporting people for 3rr. That is not the primary reason d'être for Wikipedia. Yet judging from your edits one would get that mistaken impression. Bus stop 12:36, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
• Judging from your block log, I could argue that your primary "raison d'etre" is violating 3RR. The situation is really quite simple. Don't violate 3RR and you won't get reported, blocked, waste people's time with unblock requests or intervene here with baseless messages.JJay 13:06, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

The anonymous user that made this report is using multiple anonymous IP sock puppet accounts to make disruptive edits to these articles: Apple IIc Plus Amiga 1200 Apple II series Intel Core 2‎ Apple IIGS‎ X86 architecture Apple IIc Acorn Atom ZX Spectrum. These kind of changes have been noted here. There is a long history of a user using anonymous proxies to make these disruptive edits to this group of articles relating to computer systems. I have asked if it is feasible to have these pages with this problem semi-protected. Wgungfu has been reverting deliberate attempts to make disruptive edits by the same person who is using multiple anonymous accounts.

I did indeed make 4 edits. However, the first one was to add my own comment to the original response. John Smith's 19:27, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

But three reverts, that's basically edit warring one step away from a preventative block. I advise to not edit that page for a day or two. Evilclown93 19:31, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

No problem. I believed I was reverting vandalism (as it was blanking), so that there wasn't a problem in reverting 3 times. John Smith's 19:33, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

I've posted a little notice on your talkpage to make sure you have the appropriate links and eveything. Also, it should remind you that it's better to discuss that to revert here (you're in a request for mediatiaon). Evilclown93 19:36, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

• Comment: What I removed is a POV rant left on the talk page about "murders" that is not relevent to the article, and it is in fact a personal attack against Prof. Bernstein, with a bunch of name-calling. Removing such clutter from the talk page is not vandalism (as Smith is claiming), and important to do, as I've explained to John Smith (the only one who keeps restoring it). But because it's a personal attack against a living person, I believe the 3RR does not apply, and why I insisted that it be removed on sight. If I am wrong about that, and this is not in that category of things that should be removed notwithstanding 3RR, then I'd be happy to self-revert.Giovanni33 21:07, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

My comments weren't a rant and you removed them too. Also you are the only person removing them, so why mention that I was the only one reverting? Also it isn't just me that thinks there's been a 3RR vio here, as can be seen by this report. John Smith's 21:31, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

What is the point of keeping your response to him, when what your responding to has been removed? And, if you were really interested in keeping your response to him, and not the personal attack on the Professor, then why not only restore your comments? Because they would be meaningless alone. So, your point here is really a non-point, isn't it?Giovanni33 21:51, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Because my comment was about more than the source the user in question mentioned (you could have easily mentioned my reply was in reference to a deleted "personal attack"). The reason why I didn't just revert my comments is that I see that user's comments as valid. John Smith's 22:04, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

If you wanted to dignify that personal attack with a response, then at least take it to the users talk page. It makes no sense and adds nothing to assiting with editing the article to want a response to a removed "personal attack" that should never have been left there to begin with. In removing the attack, there is nothign to respond to anymore. If you felt that needed a response, the talk page would be the place--not the articles talk page.Giovanni33 22:15, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

It's a talk page... not sure why you're edit-warring over that. I'm a bit hesitant to issue a block over a revert-war on a talk page. But please do stop. -- tariqabjotu 22:23, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

IP user keeps advertising his site and has violated 3RR. (I know it is his because he has contacted me via email.) You'll also notice this is all he edits and he consistently ignores policy.

The user has not yet been warned. A warning needs to be placed on his talk page first. Also, please provide diffs not versions. Thank you, Signature^brendel 21:01, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

I warned him. He knows what he's doing, he's vandalizing the page on purpose and that's the only reason he's here. He's familiar with both WP:3RR and WP:EL.Chris Nelson 21:06, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Okay now he has created a name User:Bkaldenberg and is editing it again. This is his sixth edit today between hist last IP and his new name, and he's had even more than that. He IS aware of policy, and if you go to www.gamerosters.com you will see that he is the owner of the website and is advertising his product. This should not go unpunished and needs to be stopped.Chris Nelson 21:13, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Indeed it's quite obviously the same user and he's spamming the article. Now that he has been warned and is aware of his actions, I have issued a 24 hour block for User:Bkaldenberg and User:71.10.169.33. Signature^brendel 21:21, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

If he comes back you will need to report him once again, and the next block will likely be longer. If he keeps breaking Wiki policy he may eventually be blocked indefinitely for "exhausting the community's patience." Page protection is usually issued for article that continously fall vicitim to vandalism and spamming by multiple users. Regards, Signature^brendel 21:29, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment No edit summaries, no attempt to discuss this - just repeated blanking of a section of this article, despite warnings and despite the fact that the section has been re-worked several times for balance. No other edits since January - just this series of blanking vandalism. Appears to be a continuation of same repeated reverts that Interpaul did - removing the same section without discussion on this political candidate's page - so it appears to be a deliberate attempt to promote an agenda, and unclear if it is more than one person or socks.

The anonymous user that made this report is using multiple anonymous IP sock puppet accounts to make disruptive edits to these articles: Apple IIc Plus, Amiga 1200, Apple II series, Intel Core 2‎, Apple IIGS‎, X86 architecture, Apple IIc, Acorn Atom, ZX Spectrum. These kind of changes have been noted here. There is a long history of a user using anonymous proxies to make these disruptive edits to this group of articles relating to computer systems. I have asked if it is feasible to have these pages with this problem semi-protected. I am reverting deliberate attempts to make disruptive edits by the same person who is using multiple anonymous accounts. The user causing the problem here is the user who is using multiple anonymous IPs, not me. The same anonymous proxy user has also tried to 3RR attack [[85]] User:Wgungfu who has also been good faith reverting these kinds of disruptive edits. Fnagaton 14:40, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I've decided to go ahead with a multi-page semi-protection request, at least this way if the request goes through it will stop the anonymous sock puppet edits better than constantly reverting what I see as their vandalism. [86] As you can see from the recent history of Commodore 64 there have been open proxies used to make the same kind of changes and this article has been semi-protected more than once to combat this. Fnagaton 16:41, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

The user talk page you linked to specifically notes that the kind of behavior you and the anon have been engaging in is an edit war. Both of you are being disruptive. The conflict is over a currently-disputed section of the MOS regarding the use of binary prefixes. — Aluvus t/c 19:20, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Since I'm reverting deliberate vandalism by an anon user then I do not believe 3RR applies to me? Especially considering the fact I've now been trying to get these pages semi-protected against this vandal. I'm also not the only editor who thinks the anonymous user is a vandal so it's not like I'm a lone ranger here. Dealing with anonymous IP proxy vandals is hard. :) Fnagaton 20:39, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

you are edit-warring you are not dealing with vandals. Edit wars ,even with Anonymous IP ,is not vandalism. 3RR applies to you and WP:AGF too. 88.84.155.37 21:19, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

No. The above post is another example of the user who has been using anonymous proxies to push their edits through to avoid the 3RR rule as shown by the edit history.Fnagaton 23:03, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Again, the page you linked specifically reaches the conclusion that revert-warring of this type is not protected as reversion of pure vandalism and is subject to 3RR. The anonymous edits are disruptive, but they are not simple vandalism. On Intel Core 2 for example, binary prefixes were both the established units and the ones used in the first major contributor's version, yet you persisted in reverting (5 times) the page to use decimal prefixes, in contravention of the current wording of the MOSNUM. In fact, you even did this with edit summaries that falsely claimed the first major contributor used KB and MB; not only did you link to two different version of the page, of which neither is really the "first major contributor", but both version used MiB repeatedly! — Aluvus t/c 22:46, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

The page I linked to doesn't reach that conclusion because it's not a simple content dispute, it is about the actions of an anonymous user who is using proxies to vandalise Wikipedia. I've been reverting those edits based on their vandalism, disruptive nature and the fact that they are all the same user sock puppet using anonymous proxies so I still do not think the 3RR rules applies here. If the admin looking at this would check with User:Wgungfu or User:Frecklefoot or User:Pixel8 or User:Wackymacs they will be able to confirm what I've been saying about the vandalism and multiple IPs. Fnagaton 23:03, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Did you read what you linked to? "I note that this is actually a content dispute, regarding Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Binary prefixes, and not vandalism. You have violated WP:3RR" "I take full responsiblity for being in an "edit war" with a person using dynamic IPs/IP spoofing." "Okay, well in that case, just please don't edit war when you know it's a content dispute and not vandalism." And once again, the IP's edits to Intel Core 2 were absolutely not vandalism and are in fact consistent with the current wording of MOSNUM. — Aluvus t/c 23:20, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I did and I refuted what you wrote. Again it's not a content dispute, it is about reverting the actions of an anonymous user who is using proxies to vandalise Wikipedia and that is the basis for my reverts. Fnagaton 23:25, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

You will also notice from my edit history that I've not made a revert after I became aware of the anonymous proxy user trying to game the 3RR system by making spurious 3RR reports, this is to make it easier for the admin looking at this to see exactly what has been going on. All my reverts have been in good faith against this anonymous proxy user's vandalism and I still think reverting vandalism is something that doesn't count towards 3RR. Fnagaton 23:37, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Since Fnagaton has stated he will not conduct any further reverts that would be in violation of the 3RR, no block is neccessary. Regards, Signature^brendel 00:12, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Still we're up to four. Continued edit warring on the same articles he was blocked for (Yoon Bong-Gil and An Jung-geun), immediately using up his three/day "quota", with no attempt at discussion despite multiple editors undoing his deletion of sourced material.

Supplemental evidence: (These comments were left by Endroit in response to discussion below. They were separated and brought up here as its own section by Endriot to separate them from my response. I've attached my response to this this appropriatelymelonbarmonster 19:34, 23 May 2007 (UTC))

There's nothing but evasion by Melonbarmonster. He's been blocked before, but is obviously playing around with 3RR rules here, to see how much he can get away with.

The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd reverts, as well as the version being reverted to are outright vandalism, and removal of content, for which he was warned. The following diff shows his "Last Warning" for content removal (from another revert war):

• 16:25, 23 May 2007 {{uw-delete4}} "Last Warning" for content removal

The 3rd revert / content removal is clearly AFTER this "Last Warning".

Now regarding WP:3RR rules, there doesn't have to be a 4th revert if the editor is a repeat offender, and shows signs of WP:POINT (gaming the system).--Endroit 17:41, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Endroit is actually the editor who initated the FIRST revert claiming my edit as "vandalism" as he does above. He has reverted 3 times himself and now wants me to be blocked for my 3 reverts. Komdori picked up on reverting after Endriot's third revert whereas I had to stop at my third. Endroit then informed me where I can go to make edits to the Info Box instead of deleting the entire POV Info box at which point Komdori reported me for 3rr.melonbarmonster 17:46, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Comments:

Komdori has been shadowing my edits and instigating revert wars and leaving comments in a mocking and sarcastic tone. He mocks my previous [comment][87] with [this][88] and even his notice of this 3rr report contains sarcasm:[here][89].

As for this report, I honestly didn't know how to edit the info box content and thought the info box being used was a POV version that a POV editor made up. I actually stopped reverting when I found out how to edit the info box. Instead of deleting the info box wholesale and "reverting" I made edits to problematic portions of the info box for the first time.melonbarmonster 17:18, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

On the top of this page, it describes how it's good form to leave a notice that the report was made here. That's not being sarcastic, it's letting you know to come check this out.

Anyway, it's still a violation, you wanted to remove "Takeshima" from the infobox, and were willing to remove the entire thing if possible. Editing the infobox has the same effect of editing the page (you knew that, you wanted the Japanese name gone and the Korean name remaining). You've been blocked 3 times for this, you know the drill by now. --Cheers, Komdori 17:22, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Komdori was complaining that the info box was being deleted, not that "Takeshima" was being taken out. He's changing his tune now that he's trying to report me for 3rr violation. 4th edit is actually more of a repair of my previous reverts more than anything else.melonbarmonster 17:41, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Komdori has reverted my last edit again. [90]melonbarmonster 18:07, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Melon, I don't want to clutter up this place with off topic things, but just to eliminate confusion, as you point out that infobox is part of the Dokdo page. That's why you were reported, your fourth revert (removing the infobox or parts thereof) happened there. Also, keep in mind that while the 3RR stops you at 3 reverts, you are by no means entitled to even that number. Reverting immediately up to your limit on several articles today on undiscussed unilateral changes (and going beyond on the Dokdo one) is not good practice. --Cheers, Komdori 18:15, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Endroit has reshuffled the comments and has catagorized them to favor his POV. I've tried to restore the discussion the way it transpired. To clarify my position, I deleted the info box in entirety because mistakenly because I didn't know that contents of InfoBox could be edited and because it contained POV regarding dispute of the the title of this article. The last resolution on this issue was to title the article "dokdo" and I felt that this naming convention should be applied uniformly throughout the article until future consensus regarding this dispute can be reached. After Endroit and I both reverted three times, Komdori stepped in for Endriot and continued the revert war while leaving mocking comments on my talk page. I stopped reverting due to the 3rr. At this point, Endroit informed me that the Info Box in question was editable. Realizing my ignorance of this feature, I edited the contents of Info Box page rather than making reverts on the Dokdo page. While I acknowlege my 3 reverts and my ignorance on how to edit content of Info boxes I tried to purposefully not violate the 3rr, and this tag teaming between Komdori and Endroit and attempt at manipulating even this 3rr report is illustrative of the problem.melonbarmonster 19:19, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Where? I never moved comments, except just now to put the bit from the original report under the supplimental evidence. --Cheers, Komdori 19:39, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh wait, it wasn't you. It was Endroit. Why is Endroit making revisions to your 3rr report above the comments section?melonbarmonster 19:45, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Result: no violation. The 16:42 edit is a different article and appears to be a move to a compromise version. All parties are strongly encouraged to work out a resolution on the talk page, perhaps copying the template, which is only used in this article, and avoiding two separate edit histories. --Selket ^Talk 21:06, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Surely the infobox associated with an article is not an article in and of itself? Per the edit summaries he clearly made all four reversions to remove "Takeshima" because he felt it was POV. --Cheers, Komdori 21:29, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

The first three edits removed the info box in its entirety. The last one preserved most of the content of the infobox but only removed a small part that this user found objectionable. This struck me as an attempt to move towards compromise, even if it wasn't a great one. I agree that forking part of the article into a template is not good practice. I'm going to put it back and delete the template. --Selket ^Talk 21:36, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

User was aware of 3RR and some more background

I added the disputed tags to the article after weeks of discussing various issues on the talk page. All the discussions can be seen on the talk page. Then out of nowhere an ip 143.something([95], [96]) came out of nowhere and started reverting me to keep in line with User:Praveen pillay's POV. Praveen Pillay asked the ip to create an account which the ip(now Lotlil) did. After creating the account, Praveen told Lotlil to be careful about 3RR. Lotlil after reading about 3RR even enquired with Praveen if he had violated 3RR. Praveen said no. The diffs for all this is below. It is clear that Lotlil knows what 3RR is.

Praveen to Lotlil
Lotlil to Praveen
Praveen to Lotlil

Also, if you see Lotlil's contribs, it is clear that he is not a NEW user. There clearly are less than holy things going on there. For a newbie who has to get clarifications about 3RR, he edited his monobook.js page the very second day to insall handy tools. Tools which he has used to revert war here and nothing else. This is most probably a single purpose account and/or somebody's sock/meat though they're trying very hard to fool people. Sarvagnya 19:27, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

As you can see, the ip edits of Lotlil were from Intel [97]. Mastering monobook.js might take years for some people, but I am sure it will take less time for people who work in software related industry such as Intel. It is the policies of wikipedia that should take more time for any new user to get acquainted himself. I feel that since user is new, he should be given a warning (as per the norm). BTW: Since Sarvagnya has indulged himself to show some 'background', I would add some 'background' too. If you see the history of Tamil language article, you will see revert war between 4 accounts. Unlike the single purpose account that you will see in the history (which is probably a sock puppet & supports Sarvagnya's POV), Lotlil made constructive contributions. User:Sarvagnya has a history of removing pertinent cited content when it comes to Tamil related articles. Praveen 20:37, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Okay. Now he wants to discuss issues related to the article here. They tried this cheap stunt on ANI and found no takers for their rant. Now Praveen is trying the same stunt on the 3RR noticeboard. And that the ip was from Intel is another red herring. No extra special level of technical skill is required to install and operate tools on wiki. But it is extraordinarily impossible to believe that the first thing the newbie discovered on wikipedia, even before he discovered the most basic policies(as PP would have us believe) was TWINKLE! Not only that, the user within days has/claims to have read up entire weeks and months of discussion on multiple talk pages.

And in any case, all this is besides the point. I have shown that the user was specifically aware of the 3RR policy and yet, has violated it. Nothing, I repeat, nothing can justify a 3RR vio. Sarvagnya 21:02, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

When you discuss about the 'background' about his monobook etc here, showing your 'history' here is not 'wrong'. Did you warn him? This is obviously a bad faith trash that you are resorting to since he is sitting on the other side of fence. Praveen 21:18, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Warnings are only required where we are unable to demonstrate that the user was aware of WP:3RR. I provided the 'background' only to demonstrate that a) The user was fully aware of WP:3RR and b) that I had valid reasons to NOT consider him a new user. Even if you write off (b) as speculation, (a) is enough to put your friend in the dock. And if you didnt notice, unlike you, I am not making any attempt to discuss the article here or on ANI because that is the way things work here. The 3RR board is not the place to discuss article issues. Sarvagnya 22:10, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Do the admins need any clarification? Why is this case not being dealt with yet? I request an admin to please look into this and take action. Thanks. Sarvagnya 23:13, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

This editor was recently blocked for warring with the same editor and is now warring again in two articles. The editor knows the rules and is pushing the limit to 3RR. The editor has been asked to stop warring and continues. Given that this is going on in multiple articles, this can be considered a violation even without 4 reverts.

Comments by User:Smee

Please note that there was no 4th revert in this case. Please also note that the 3rd revert, was only after comment by User:Jossi on the talk page of Talk:Mind Dynamics, confirming the general policy regarding removal of the "Unbalanced" tag. I only removed the tag a third time after this comment from User:Jossi, DIFF. In the other case at Lifespring, there were 2 reverts, and also edit warring from User:Lsi john, however, I restored the version back to User:Lsi john's version, which was a self-revert. DIFF of Self-Revert back to Lsi john version. Thank you for your time.

• 3RR is not an 'entitlement' to revert 3 times and this very experienced editor knows better. Given the contentious edit history and current aggressive reverting there is reason to believe this will continue. Lsi john 20:51, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
  • You are correct. 3RR is not an entitlement. However, I must point out this comment by User:Bishonen, in which he also warns this editor that 3RR is not an entitlement DIFF. I apologize for the reverts in this instance, yes, however I sought out neutral opinions from other editors on one article, and did not revert a third time until this was given, even so, I apologize for doing this, I should have let the editor remove the tag himself after the contrary opinion was given. On the other article, as I have stated above, I voluntarily self reverted. Smee 20:57, 23 May 2007 (UTC).

• And now it is clear that User:Smee is aware of the spirit of 3RR and has acknowledged violating it. This demonstrates that there is good reason to believe that the warring will continue across other articles and warrants a preventive block. Lsi john 21:01, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

1. I apologize for any inappropriate actions, which have since ceased.
2. On the article Mind Dynamics, a third editor, User:Jossi commented, DIFF, and only after this comment did I remove the tag.
3. On the article Lifespring, I voluntarily self reverted, and there will be no edit war.
4. As these issues are since resolved, there will be no edit war, and any block would be punitive in nature only. If User:Lsi john wishes to reinstate the "Unbalanced" tag on the article Mindspring, I will not remove it again, but again ask him to provide reputable citations to back this up, as the burden is on the editor adding the tag. If not, I will again allow a reasonable length of time (in the last instance 20 days went by, no citations), and eventually ask him to remove the tag again, if he does not provide citations.

Thank you for your time. Yours, Smee 21:35, 23 May 2007 (UTC).

• Basically the same excuses, rationalization, justification and promises as last time here for the recent 48 hour block, where this editor was sternly warned. (and yet we're back here again) The warring has only stopped, because I have stopped editing, pending the determination here. Lsi john 21:50, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Previous admin's conclusion after similar justification for 3RR:

No, I'm afraid you're mistaken. It is not necessary to revert to the same version each time; any three reverts count. And all four of the above edits are reverts. You also seem think that because you are discussing your reverts, it's OK to keep reverting. This is also not the case. As for your compromise: Lsi john clearly doesn't consider it as such: [82]. Therefore, I'm forced to conclude the edit war is not concluded, and will therefore block for 48 hours. Given your history of being blocked for 3RR, you ought to know better than to edit war by now, anyway. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 05:09, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

• Both issues have now been resolved. I will not remove the "citecheck" tag at Lifespring, and there will be no edit war there. And now we have two editors that have provided opinions regarding the "Unbalanced" tag, at Talk:Mind Dynamics. As both edit wars will not continue, if not from User:Lsi john's assurance, than from mine, this is now a discussion of a potential punitive nature, which is not the spirit of 3RR. Smee 21:59, 23 May 2007 (UTC).

• (edit conflict) If I may comment as an uninvolved editor, I would like to highlight the fact that Smee's 3rd revert of the Mind Dynamics article did come after another editor expressed his approval of the action. Per a request on the third opinion page I chimed in additional support for the removal of the tag in question. While Smee may be viewed as in violation of either the letter or spirit of the 3RR rule, I believe these edits were done with the understanding that it was done so with the approval of outside support and consensus. Arkyan • ^(talk) 22:46, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

• Your 3O allowed approximately another 10 days before the tag would be removed. Smee immediately reverted. Lsi john 22:52, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

• Only yesterday [here] an editor had this to say to Smee:

Smee, you do not WP:OWN the templates. You have been edit-warring and reverting any edit that removes links that are precious to you, especially ones that you have created or had a hand in. Your last edit had a misleading summary which didn't mention that you reverted my removal of your unnecessary links yet again. You are monopolizing the templates, and in fact, monopolizing the Wikipedia Scientology articles in general, and it's really starting to affect the quality of the Scientology project. I cannot edit-war with you and the Scientologists at the same time, and I submit your edits are actually helping their cause by making these articles and templates a biased, undue-weighted, blatantly unfair mess. This is not a personal attack, it has nothing to do with you personally, it has to do with these tendentious edits and the mass-dispersement of links to articles that you favor. And edits are what we are supposed to be discussing here. wikipediatrix 14:36, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Lsi john 23:13, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

• It is clear that User:Lsi john will keep commenting here again and again after anyone else provides comment, so I am just going to say that I will not. I will not object to the current resolution of the issues on both of the talk pages of the articles in question. I will also stop commenting here, and let the neutral editor's comments above, and my previous comments above, speak for themselves. Smee 23:16, 23 May 2007 (UTC).

This seems to be a single-purpose account created to assist POV edit warring on the Tamil language article. This account seems to shadow User:Sarvagnya's edits. This new user hsa been warned about the 3RR rule. - Parthi ^{talk/contribs} 22:30, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Warnings are meant to be given before the rule is violated. And this user 'shadowing' my edits is a joke. This user has a grand total of 5 edits on wikipedia, four of which were today. Really makes me wonder if this is a straw man account by someone to make me look poor. And his/her violation coming on the heels of my reporting Lotlil above makes me wonder even more. Sarvagnya 22:39, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Clear violation of 3RR. I issued a 31 hour block. PS. Sarvagnya, it doesn't seem as though you have violated any rule. If you feel as though you are being "stalked" please file a report on the incidents notice board so appropriate action can be taken. Thank you, Signature^brendel 22:37, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Can you also please take a look at the 3RR vio i have filed above agains User:Lotlil? That is a crytal clear violation of 3RR too. And I never said that I feel I am being stalked. It was Venu who tried to mischievously insinuate that Sneha 'shadows' me. Anyway, just request you to take a look at the 3RR vio which happened before Sneha's. Sarvagnya 22:58, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

The IP Address Editor keeps trying to put in his own personal website in the external links section. He has been warned that it violates SOAP and does not fit in with the rules on External Links. Not sure how to warn him any more, as I believe others have attempted to contact his various IPs before. The Archive has dates of the guy's posts, as he signs his name (but not with an IP) as "PT". Anything that can be done will be appreciated. SanchiTachi 01:26, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

The recent edit was done by Special:Contributions/Carnaptime. This edit promoted the link. On the talk page, this was stated [104] "Once again: GIVE ME A LEGITIMATE REASON FOR TAKING DOWN MY WEBSITE OR LEAVE THE LINK UP. PT". PT is the signed name of the IP number above. I believe that the two are the same individual. SanchiTachi 02:33, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

There are too many reverts to list. They are all the same revert, to add in a link that violates notability and SOAP. SanchiTachi 03:07, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

This is an additional report from (above)

This is a very experienced editor who has a contentious edit history who has been blocked 5 times already by this board. As Smee blocklog1 And Smeegolva blocklog2

This editor was recently blocked for warring with the same editor and is now warring again in two articles. The editor knows the rules and is pushing the limit to 3RR. The editor has been asked to stop warring and continues. Given that this is going on in multiple articles, this can be considered a violation even without 4 reverts.

note to admin: This is a followup, with more reverting, from a report above. The previous admin only saw 3 reverts and concluded that 3RR was not violated.

After I updated (01:56, 24 May 2007) the report (above) the editor quickly self-reverted to avoid being reported here.

As I stated, this editor is contentious and has begun reverting again, once more in each article. There is no reason to believe this reverting will stop.

I do not know if this new report needed to be filed or if the one above will be reviewed.

Please see this contentious editing for what it is. Thank you. Lsi john 02:10, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Please see above comment, by User:BrendelSignature

Please also see that I have Self Reverted on both articles.

1. Lifespring - Self revert, will explain on talk page.
2. Mind Dynamics - Self revert, will explain on talk page.

I could comment that User:Lsi john is removing highly sourced information to multiple reputable sources, but I will not go there. Suffice it to say that I have Self reverted here, and asked User:Lsi john to comment politely on the associated talk pages.

He was previous blocked for 31 hours on this name and the IP address. There is a new person who joined in the reverting. I don't know if the issue will ever be resolved and the Talk Page is just filling up more and more, without them bothering to join in with the voting process (there are already 2 no votes, and thats it, but all of that is lost in the clutter).

The "new person" is SusyQuine, an obvious sockpuppet account which was created during Carnaptime's lockout, and which the vandal is now using to make his posts on Talk:St. John's College, U.S.. Carnaptime's first block expired today, and he began deleting St. John's College, U.S. piece by piece. This user, with sockpuppets, is unresponsive to persuasion -- is a ban inevitable?

• There are others, but its too confusing for me to scroll through them all

This user is following me from previous pages. The page in question was created as Graphic Novels (Warhammer 40,000) to follow naming convention for the Wikiproject on Warhammer 40,000. Graphic Novels refers to the proper noun title of the section of fictional works made for the game Warhammer 40,000. This follows the naming of other pages like Sisters of Battle (Warhammer 40,000) and Emperor of Mankind (Warhammer 40,000). The individual also edits out important information vital to the page. If you look at my talk page history, you can see a serious of allegations made by that user and constant following me from page to page, especially over at admin user:Jossi's page.

Um, is not User:SanchiTachi also guilty of breaking the 3RR rule in the above case? Darkson - BANG! 20:34, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I don't think either of them are. The diffs listed above are incorrectly labelled ("2nd move" is not a move) and redundant (1st and 4th diffs are the same, so are 2nd and 5th). If you take a look at the page history [147], you can see that Someguy0830 moved it three times and SanchiTachi moved it back twice prior to the page being protected to prevent further move warring. Naturally, the protected version is the wrong one. --GentlemanGhost 20:51, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, maybe I chose the wrong ones. There should have been three moves, and then two deletions (he removed my text before moving the page, I added in parts of stuff to the header, which you can see on my sandbox version). I just counted it totally at five, three for move and two for deletes. But yeah. SanchiTachi 20:59, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

More reverts by Someguy0830. Not only has he deleted things without a consensus, he reverts back to his version, which is filled with many errors. He does not have any sources for the topic at hand, nor has any sourced information to provide. His edits are solely to WP:HARASS me. Furthermore,

[148]

As you can see, he went to other pages, without asking about the image conventions established by the project, and added pictures. When told that the images are not appropriate for those pages under the conventions established, he refused to do anything but revert. That happened [149] here and [150] here. Anything that can be done to keep him from editing out things that are sourced, or putting in statements and qualifications that aren't sourced, and let the page develop enough to get rid of the problems it had (it was just created) would be very appreciated.

The reverts are all the same, so I just provided the links. User recently came back from a five-day block for edit-warring and constant disruption. He removes 3RR warnings and other messages from his talk page, but engages in edit wars on other users' talk pages when they respond in kind (by removing his comments which are either disruptive or not civil). He has been edit warring on just about every article he has visited as his contribution history attests. — Zerida 20:07, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

^Wait a minute, I got no warnings whatsoever about this and thought the 3rr only was in concern to articles, not under talk pages.. Someone kept vandalizing my edits on your page so I restored them in order to make sure that you got it.. How does this violate 3rr? I never thought it did actually.. These were reverts to deal with simple vandalism on a "user talk page"..Taharqa 20:30, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Not true, you were given a warning [155] and you erased it. You can't keep erasing messages from your talk page and expect other people to extend the same courtesy to you, especially when you just keep posting accusations and incivilities. Egyegy 20:50, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

^I erased it because of your vandalism on her page and mine.. It was nothing more than a bad faith removal if that's the case due to what you've been doing, and I even reported you before hand.. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism&diff=prev&oldid=133483198. I never had any idea that the 3rr applied to User Talk pages or "reverts to deal with simple vandalism"(as I saw it, and not a "content dispute" since no one addressed the content at all), the latter of course isn't a violation.

^If you'd check the page, it almost seems like the beginnings of an edit war or that I went over myself, but technically I didn't.. As you can see, my last revert/edit at 04:07, 25 May 2007 was only seconds after Egyegy's, and I was simply going back to correct something I missed(edit self) from my previous edit, not knowing that he/she just reverted the last one. So I simply tried to place tags and those got reverted relentlessly, no matter what the tag said(I tried to put up different ones). Zederia has clearly and intentionally violated the 3rr simply in order to maintain her control over the article and deserves a block for her uncompromising behavior imo, she won't even respond to my pleas in the talk page.. I was in no way trying to edit war, this complaint is due to the constant reversions between my edits and lack of response to my concerns in the talk page, all I got was reverts of anything I tried to add, and yes, I gave up on trying to even touch the page for now...

The reverts are all the same(except rv 4), just click links and check what's marked in red.. User has engaged in spiteful edit wars and has been personally attacking and making biased accusations to justify his/her disruptive and controlling behavior. He/she is even following others around to different articles and reverting all of their edits. The 4th revert(on both) was a revert of a tag that I placed on the page and he even reverted that to the previous page, clearly violating 3rr (and he/she knows better), he/she won't even allow disputes and is being extremely controlling.Taharqa 23:04, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

I did not violate 3rr on any of these. I have though showed that Taharqa deliberately changes cited quotations [158] and keeps edit warring when his misleading changes are reverted to the actual one. Changing a quotation is a type of vandalism, so if anyone should be blocked it should be you for this and your disruption for months. Egyegy 23:33, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

I have blocked Taharqa for violating the three-revert rule on two articles and edit-warring at another for a period of five days (this is his fourth 3RR block in a month and second in forty-eight hours).

Also note the page history, where two other editors are assisting me in convincing this user that you're not supposed to bold each and every single term. Finally, note the talk page, where again this user is told why Warhammer 40,000 games is not changing the title of the work. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 23:58, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

So you admit you violated 3RR, yes? --Deskana (talk) 00:04, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I probably did, though I have trouble saying for certain. I reverted the bolding thing twice, the Warhammer title thing once (not counting the combined bolding revisions), and the lead section once. I'm not sure how my introduction edits would be counted as they are spread out, but they at least make one or two past that. So yes, I'll admit that I did. However, in admitting this, I expect Sanchi to be blocked as well, as he's just as guilty. He has: the combined move-lead revert; first and second bolding reverts; and the first, second, and third stand-alone title reverts. He's been worse than me, because he's warring with multiple editors. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 00:20, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Blocking you both would serve no purpose. Ultimately, the verdict is that you both violated 3RR, and that SanchiTachi is wrong with regards to the matter of the formatting of the page. I'll discuss this issue with the user in question. --Deskana (talk) 00:25, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

SanchiTachi stated intent to continue reverting the incorrect edits once the page was unprotected, and as such, has been blocked. --Deskana (talk) 00:44, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

The page has been protected by someone else.

Thats ridiculous. I merely do not want an old userpage. The talk pages still link. Ned Scott has no reason to recreate the deleted page twice and revert war over the speedy tag. He made 5 non-original edits aka 5 reverts. -- Cat ^chi? 10:56, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I don't think those reverts had any malicious thought put into it. I only edited what I thought was the best way to write the sentence. The sentence was confusing until I was clarified on what the "when" part was supposed to mean. The problem is settled now, and I don't understand why it is a problem trying to make the sentence look better. If there was any misunderstanding, I am sorry. Good friend100 21:03, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Don't insist on your version of it four times in about an hour, then, less than an hour off a 24h forced break. As for malice, the recent very incivil comments (see 7 reports up from here for his last reported incident) kind of speak for themselves. —LactoseTI^T 21:07, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

This isnt 4 reverts, they are all different. And if we were to judge by these standars it is Nanadaba who has been massively edit warring, SqueakBox 23:02, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

They are reverts, I checked very carefully. Note that reverts must not be on the same area but it is enough that they are on the same article during a 24 hour period, which is the case here. This is a clear violation of the 3RR rule. Nandaba Naota 23:06, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

You have massively reverted yourself as these reverts from both Petersen and I are exclusively against yourself, appear to be trying to wikilawyering in order to manipulate the system and are editing from the same POV as Voice of Britain who has been blocked on numerous occasions for edit warring. Do you want to be a serious editor or not? Editors who edit war and then accuse others of doing so are mostly not good faith editors, SqueakBox 23:10, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

• "enough of this".
• "rv - my wording is correct"; this revert is particularly telling, as the language reverted was specifically written to correctly reflect the sources added (no sources used in the Intro prior to that edit). The revert does NOT correctly reflect the new sources, which themselves remained; this made the Intro misleading and returned it to WP:WEASEL. I have ceased editing for the time being, so as to make your inquiry less complicated. Thank you.

There is no violation of the three-revert rule here. Four reverts are needed for a violation, and taking a look at the history not all of his recent edits have been reverts. The user in question looks as if he's trying to work around your edits. -- tariqabjotu 03:40, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Prior editors have noted that the editor in question appears to have OWN issues with this article. Suggest that in addition to (or alternative to) blocking, that the editor be enjoined form contributing to the article or limiting their edits within the article. The editor is not new to WP policy, and has skirted the edge of 3RR on three prior occasions.

As you can see, he has done 5 reverts, and the 3th, 4th, 5th and the 6th were made in less than 24 hours.

As you can also see in the comments he made in his edit summaries, first he stated that the reference was "false", then that the reference did not have any external link (he did not see it and he thought that since the reference contained few internal linked words to other articles of this wikipedia, the source itself were these linked articles, when in fact there was a link to an external source), then he claimed it was not in English (according to WP:Cite references can be given in other languages if needed. In this case, the reeference was talking about the differnet meanings of a Spanish word, therefore the reference contained a link to the Real Academia Española dictionary. There are lots of references in this Wikipedia linking to that dictionary, which is the official one for Spanish language), etc, etc, etc. All in all, for some reason, he keeps removing that reference.
