I am equally to blame in this edit war and accept that my behavior is contrary to WP policies. I have attempted to explain my rational for the proposed changes that I have made to the article however it would appear that LahiruG has an ownership issue with the article in question. I am prepared to accept the consequences for my actions but would genuinely like to resolve the issue without punitive action being taken.Dan arndt (talk)10:09, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
The one who has a problem with the ownership of this list isUser:Dan arndt, who has made significant changes to this article without trying to discuss them in the relevant talk page. As an editor who has been involved in editing this list for some time I have tried to discuss the issues at the talk page, but his is pushing his POV without reaching a consensus in the discussion. He is trying to convert this simple alumni list into a table which has irrelevant columns in it, without giving a valid rationale for its conversion. --LahiruGtalk10:26, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
I don't have any issue with ownership of this particular page at all. As you can see by my edit history I have been slowly working my way through a number of school alumni lists in an effort to improve then and make them consistent with 'best practice' as evidenced by other 'featured lists' of alumni.Dan arndt (talk)10:37, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
@Dan arndt: I am afraid, you have a serious issue with the ownership of many Sri Lanka related articles. Many Sri Lankan users have left Wikipedia due to your dictatorial type behavior. --LahiruGtalk10:53, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
Wow, that was completely out of the blue. I am dumbfounded by your completely unsubstantiated allegations. If you have any issue with my editorial style then this is not the forum for that discussion.Dan arndt (talk)11:09, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
(edit conflict)Possibly relevant reading? I'm seeing what would be constructive discussion from both of you but there's some sort of communication breakdown. I'd suggestWP:3O orWP:DR, but I see there's already a third opinion at the talk page, though I don't know if there's any prior interaction there and so cannot decide whether or not it's a fresh opinion. As such, I'll toss out my 2 cents here as well. This is just off the top of my head and I have no plans on getting involved beyond these suggestions.
Whether tables or lists are easier to read (not a biggie, I know): for what it's worth, on my laptop tables are easier to read, but on my phone lists usually win unless the table is kept narrow enough. That's just my phone using the mobile site, though; if I pull up the desktop site on my phone both of them are equally microscopic. That said, y'all do seem to agree that that's not really an issue.
Sourced but non-notable entries (what appears to be the crux): typically,notability only applies to whether the broader concept gets an article, not whether individual entries are to be included. Normally, as long as there's areliable source (preferably independent and non-primary because we're not the phone book) noting something as part of a list, it's ok to include it in the list. That said,WP:LISTPEOPLE does indeed spell out that it should be limited to individuals who are either notable, or would only fail notability because ofWP:BLP1E, or for completeness sake where an exhaustive list would be 99% notable anyway (e.g. I suppose a hypothetically non-notable US president would nonetheless be included atList of Presidents of the United States). So, I have to agree with Dan ardnt's point on this, though I do grant that his phrasing on the talk page could have been more succinct at time.
Now, I could block both of you, I could decide that Obi2canibe's participation on the talk page constitutes a sign of some sort ofcurrent (but not necessarily final) consensus, or I could leave both of you unblocked. If y'all are willing to keep it on the talk pageand quit making accusations, I don't really see a reason to block.Ian.thomson (talk)09:03, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
Ian.Thomson I didn't think that the conversion of the list into a table was actually that controversial (apparently it is to some users). I've previously worked on numerous FLs, all of which are tables not lists. My main issue was the inclusion of significant numbers of non-notable alumni, which appears to be a case of different schools attempting to promote their superiority over other schools using Wikipedia. I reported this as I felt guilty of engaging in edit warring (contrary to WP policies) although at the same time I was trying to explain my rationale on the article's talkpage albeit generally a one sided conversation. I welcome a third party, such asObi2canibe, participation in the discussion. However I do feel aggrieved that LahiruG is trying to make this personal by making unsubstantiated accusations against me. I will use my best endeavors to try and be as objective as possible and hopefully it can be resolved amicably.Dan arndt (talk)09:18, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Human like you (talk·contribs) is engaged in continued edit warring with several users in order to sustain persistent POV pushing, at the moment on the following articles:
Long term edit warring since22 Nov in an attempt to add content violating NPOV and BLP; user was edit warring on the same content as IP 213.74.186.109 before, therefore the article was protected; when the protection was lifted the user started edit warring again which resulted in the block[31], renewed protection andrevert byuser:Jim1138. Then edit warring again about the same content until getting blocked byuser:Black Kite (for other edit warring) andreverted byuser:2A1ZA. Now edit warring again about the very same content without consensus on the talk page (so far all other users onTalk:Salih_Muslim_Muhammad were against including this content and spent time to explain why).
Long term edit warring in an attempt to delete the fact the Northern Cyprus is not recognized and to push the Turkish name of Morphou Bay. Both as 'Human like you' and IP 213.74.186.109. Stopped byuser:Clpo13here with comment to use talk page. Now edit warring again about the same content without consensus on the talk page.
Edit warring in an attempt to remove link to Rojava articles, firsthere, then stopped by useruser:Wikishovel and getting blocked byuser:Black Kite (for other edit warring), now againhere with misleading reference to talk page (there is obviously no consensus to remove this).
The problematic behaviour ofHuman like you (talk·contribs) on similar issues (and partially the same pages) was discussed before:here, andhere (at that time editing as IP 213.74.186.109). This user was recently warned[42] and blocked for similar edit warring and disrupting behaviour.
Also wild accusations against other users, most recentlyhere,here, andhere.
Comment: Just my two cents. I encountered the reported user for the first time several months ago, when he did persistently put up several random warning templates on theSyrian Democratic Forces article without any serious attempt to explain, apparently with the intent to somehow taint an article the topic of which he did not like. Since then, I have faced and witnessed countless insults, slander and other forms of aggression on talk pages (and in edit summaries) from him in articles related to Middle East politics, where the reported user edits with a very narrow agenda of pushing (and frequently edit warring about) the Turkish Erdogan regime narrative with respect to topics in the news. As far as I can see, the problem with his disruptive editing style appears somewhat under control due to the attention of several editors, but his poisoning of talk page discussions still is a curse without effective cure. --2A1ZA (talk)15:57, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Don't you feel silly citing talk pages where I'm discussing the issue to no end as evidence of me "ignoring talk" when it's rather evident that opponents fail to counter my arguments? Lalichii hasn't argued the point at all, *he* in fact is edit warring without talking. GoodDay, for his part, has used the old trick of, when out of arguments, just repeating earlier-made, already-refuted ones. If anyone still wants to argue the issue, I'm gladly responding to any new point.Mewulwe (talk)10:15, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
TBH, I'd have less problems with your anti-numbering stance, if you would apply it evenly. For example: If you removed the numbering from the infoboxes ofall the Malawi presidents instead of just Banda orall the Bermuda premiers instead of just Cox & Stewart, you wouldn't be creating inconsistency in each series of leader articles.GoodDay (talk)17:01, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
Shotgun slugs are single heavy lead slugs fired from shotguns. Shotgun projectiles normally do not rotate,rifles userifling to rotate their projectile and cause it to bespin-stabilised. Shotgun slugs are ribbed on the surface to reduce friction and this also leads to some slow rotation, much less than a rifle bullet. Does this count them as "spin-stabilised"?
There is a robust ref from the FBI ([69], p 37) saying no, with the text, "these ribs impart no significant stabilizing spin". The editor ignores this withWP:IDHT and claims that the same ref firstsupports his assertion, then adds aWP:SPS source (fairly obviously taken from the FBI ref, with a wild assertion added) and finally just a blanket, "I removed the statement because it is false".
This claim is not a trivially simple matter of spin or no spin: the ribs do produce someslow spin, this slow rotation does even out some manufacturing asymmetry of the slugs, but the key point is that the slugs are not stabilised by this spin and that they are not thus comparable to rifle bullets.
The contested edits are all reversions of the same form, removing the ref and the text "it is not spin-stabilised" to replace it withthe same ref (although stripped to a bare URL) and rewording to imply the opposite of what the ref states.
The editor is simply hard to follow with these blanket reversions, especially for their claims "reverting referenced material" (when they're the one removing) and the call to engage at talk, where they're simply ignoring the very clear statement in the ref. SeeTalk:Shotgun_slug#Spin.
I understand that you disagree, however saying that my edits are hard to follow is immaterial. What is wrong with the current revision? You can point to specifics in the CURRENT revision and I will take them apart point by point in the talk section. I have not removed referenced, correct information and I have not added untrue, unreferenced information. Rather than edit warring, it seems you are reporting me because you cannot understand the material being discussed. Yes, this is a bit abrasive to say, but your the responses in the talk section seem to belie a basic lack of understanding of the underlying subject material. I have made edits based on statements in the discussion, however there was no reason to make blanket reversions of my work in the first place. Since there are two editors who are reverting my work and were doing so before discussing it in the talk, it makes it difficult for me to make any substantive changes. --Winged Brick (talk)17:37, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

It's quite possible that the IPs are confused about the FFD and the DRV closes, but that is something which should be resolved through further discussion, not edit warring.

User continuously removes a template asking for another look of the GA status, even though he is an involved editor and has been warned here:[106] twice and in edit summaries. The tag specifically states only an uninvolved editor can remove it. Here are his reverts:[107][108][109][110]
I have every reason to regard TheGracefulSlick's idea of having the article's GA status challenged as being in bad faith. And, so many of his past actions asABriefPasssingALongStay (when they harassed me) have given me reason. I did a large expansion on the article the last couple of years, but some, such as Ilovetopaint and TheGracefulSlick, said that it had grown to be to big (I actually agree to some extent). I have been working constructively to address Ilovetopaint's concerns. TheGraefulSlick is aware that I am preparing the article for FAC, and that calling into question its GA status is a backward step. In the ongoing discussions about the article (see talk page at Garage Rock)Softlavender had mentioned that she thought the article as it stood a few months ago (back when it was much longer) was near FA. However, I realize that other editors (such as Ilovetopaint and TheGracefulSlick) wanted a smaller article, so I have proceeded to remove approx. 150kb so far. People cannot say that I have not been trying to accommodate their wishes. I have done a great deal towards that goal, and have been trying to accommodate Ilovetopaint's concerns. But, I want to do it carefully in a way that does not haphazardly gut the article. And, the idea of challenging the article's GA status is disruptive and not helpful at this point. I take it to be in bad faith. Quite frankly, I feel like I am being bullied.Garagepunk66 (talk)08:02, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
Please note admin I did not originally place tag. Isimply suggested it to offer a neutral alternative to the issues Garagepunk66 and Ilovetopaint were continuously having. One can not say this is in bad faith. I have, since I first started editing, been working around garage rock related pages so in no way am I targeting his work. Garagepunk66 simply cannot take criticism without being personally involved.TheGracefulSlick (talk)08:08, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
Furthermore, TheGracefulSlick is not an uninvolved party (either) at the Garage rock article (he has done edits there and has spoken on the talk page there), so he should not be putting such tags in here, or soliciting other involved editors to do so. In fact he made some rash remarks there a while back calling the article I worked hard to push to GA "a mess", which was unconstructive and hurtful, because he is someone I once regarded as a friend and we have both written about a lot of the same music. I reviewed three of his articles and listed them as GA. And, his attempt to get Ilovetpoint to challenge the GA status (see Ilovetopait's talk page) could also be perceived as canvassing. It would be best for TheGracefulSlick to recuse himself from commenting on my work.Garagepunk66 (talk)08:14, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
There is no such policy stating an involved editor cannotplace a tag. I did not solicit the tag either, I simply offered it as an alternative to have a neutral editor outside the project agree or disagree with Ilovetopaint's major concerns. I was afraid if the debate escalated Garagepunk66 was in danger of a block. Several editors have also said you overreacted to my "mess" comment but here you are bringing it up again. The rest of your comment is just pointless banter to distract the admin from your edit warring.TheGracefulSlick (talk)08:18, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
Also, this is one of numerous times you told me recuse myself from the article, a "nice" way of telling me to "get lost". Every time I disagree you either do that or bring up past unrelated history to bully me out of discussions because you cannot accept criticism. That doesn't work here, though.TheGracefulSlick (talk)08:20, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
I have not told you to get lost until you said or did something disrespectful. It was actually you who askedBishonen a few months ago to block me out of the article. So, what else am I supposed to do? I get the feeling that you are trying use the conversation between myself and Ilovetopaint to muscle me out of the article. By the way, that editor is not neutral either. He (like you) is coming from the most "reductionist" stance amongst the host of editors who expressed themselves on the article talk page (the other day that particular editor removed almost the entire Canada section--I had to put it back, though I did do a few trims there). I am trying to do the right thing. I am trying to satisfy everyone's wishes, but I feel that I am being punished. I am trying to operate in everyone's best interest (if you don't believe me, see the removed Kbs in the edit history as evidence of my sincerity), so why try to challenge the GA there when I'm trying to do all of the things people want me to do? The article is getting close to FA.Garagepunk66 (talk)08:36, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
The article is a far cry from FA. I don't have an opinion on GA because I never placed the tag, just reapplied it when you wrongfully removed it. You also just needlessly pinged Bishonen, another editor you believe will agree with you (canvassing). This is also not about Ilovetopaint's behavior. Once again, you misrepresent me (a common occurrence as of late) by saying I'm a reductionist. I eventually (and still have) sided with you against a split. However, I'm against namedropping and synth like Ilovetopaint which excuses his edits, but you keep reverting him with no legitimate reasoning. Anyways, please stick to the subject of your edit-warring. That is why we are here; stop trying to muddy that.TheGracefulSlick (talk)08:46, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
Well that's funny, you gave me a Barnstar saying it was "the best music genre article at Wikipeia" (which I actually do not think that it was then or now--I have some of the same criticisms too--but I'm trying to get it closer to FA). Then, later, after calling it a "mess" you said you were just trying to "encourage me". Well, if you want to encourage me, then the last thing to do would be to make us go through the whole GA process all over again. Haven't we been through enough hooprings with the article? If there's going t be more scrutiny, then I'd like to keep the boat moving forward, please. By the way, isn't the conversation that Ilovetopaint and I are currently having one form of constructive deliberation? He and I may tussle at times, but we are slowly working things out and collaborating. So, why sabotage that process and use that to turn it into something negative? I didn't mind your constructive criticism a day or two ago. But, your more recent proposal to challenge the GA is not constructive.Garagepunk66 (talk)09:24, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
It was not my proposal, it wasIlovetopaint's. Please, tell me how it is constructive to remove a legitimate tag four times (with warnings) when Ilovetopaint continously brought up major concerns? Why did you ignore the fact an involved editor cannot remove the tag? Why did you feel that past unrelated behavior (used in a personal attack) was a constructive reason to remove the tag? Why do you think namedropping and synth, while ignoring key aspects of the genre, is appropriate for the article and does not deserve another review?TheGracefulSlick (talk)09:29, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
No, it was you who recommended the idea to him.
I told both of you that I will go in and change the wording in the statements in the article (which sound namedropping) as soon as soon I've finished paring down the text to including just the bands/acts that will remain discussed in the article. Both of you wanted to see less bands--I'm satisfying that request.
It is necessary to get the superfluous mentions of bands out first--then I'll got change the text of the remaining acts. I gave both of you my assurance that I will make the necessary changes in wording--I told both of you I agree that it should be done. Keep in mind that for each statement (about each band) that I change, I will need to go back and re-read the sources (including some sources that have been trimmed out of the article) first.
Though I already know more-or-less what changes to make in wording, I still have to go back and check the sources and re-read them first to make sure that they confirm whatever changes in statements I make. That may evolve bringing back old sources or finding new ones. So, please let me reduce set of the bands discussed first before changing the wording.
Luckily, I think that we may be near to the irreducible amount of bands (I trimmed out a bunch last night). I'll be busy for the next several hours, but tonight I might be able to begin making the changes in wording. I'll check to first see if any more bands need to be removed, then I'll start on the text changes as I promised.
I had asked for patience, not for you to challenge the article's GA rating. Doing so is not in good faith when I am working to resolve the issues. Do not take that I am trying to get the bands out first as meaning I am unwilling to help with the other changes you want to see--I want to make those changes too. I told you that I'll get to the changes in wording once I've trimmed out the unnecessary bands. Two days ago, I gave you my promise that I'd do that. I will do it. Give me a chance.Garagepunk66 (talk)17:04, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
Again, it was not my proposal. I merely suggested it to him as a neutral way to solve the issues he continously keeps finding. If he said, "no, I'd rather not, I don't see the benefit", that would have been the end of it. Andagain, I'm not commenting on the integrity of the article or your process to improving it. This thread is for your edit warring, nothing else. You have yet to answer any of my questions I raised above without adding excessive explanations and promises about how you'll solve everything. Ilovetopaint may be right, another editor needs to clean up this mess, but that's an issue for another time. Like when this one is taken care of.TheGracefulSlick (talk)17:49, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
Comment First of all, this report is malformed and doesn't even follow the instructions for this noticeboard. You are both edit warring on the Talk page, and both of you deserve a trout for letting your argument spill over here. Garagepunk66, please look atWP:GAR. Editors are allowed to place this template on a page if they think an article might need GA reassessment. An independent editor will come around and decide if that's warranted. It's not for you to decide. If this edit war continues on that Talk page, I'll block both of you.Laser brain(talk)18:01, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

The article is under a 1RR restriction and is subject to discretionary sanctions. In addition to violating 1RR, BlueSalix has also restored material which has been challenged - this is prohibited under discretionary sanctions unless consensus is achieved. Also, a quick look through the talk page shows that BlueSalix' attempts at "discussion" involve making personal attacks and aggressive behavior towards other editors, in particular, failure to discuss content rather than editors, as well making POINTy proposals.
Note also that the 1RR violation occurred AFTER the user was informed of the restriction and warned. So they did it with clear knowledge and intent of breaking the rule.Volunteer Marek (talk)00:06, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
The veracity of these two edits was reviewed and discussedby three separate admins on the Talk page already. MelanieN subsequently determined that a previously expressed determination on the Talk page that content in a DS article could be challenged through removal, and such challengeipso facto did not therefore amount to 1RR, was erroneous and explained why. With the situation resolved, I made no further edits of any nature to the article. I have, therefore, already received a written warning and the application of sanctions would serve no preventative or protective purpose but would be merely punitive.
I acknowledge Marek, who has a long and colorful block log for edit warring and harassment[127], has a right to shop around complaints if what he views as his "opponents" haven't been kneecapped to a desired level, but politely and demurely request he or she limitWP:OTHERPARENTing them to a maximum of three admins in order to promote content-focused editing.
I note Marek made multiple reverts yesterday[128],[129],[130],[131],[132], etc., despite indicating he or she was aware of DS[133]. Some of this content subsequently had to be painstakingly and manually restored by admin edit (see:"Restoring longstanding material deleted in a mass removal by VM. Discuss individual sources on talk page, please."[134]). I refrain from opining whether the encyclopedia does need protection from Marek but will, instead, leave it to the reviewing admin's good judgment.BlueSalix (talk)00:27, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Tries to overrule newer pro-Turkish news-outlets for SDF-favored control, with older pro-Turkish tweets for pro-Turkish favored control while these specific tweets are already proven to be false for the other bigger village they where talking about. --Niele~enwiki (talk)11:47, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
More specific: he tries with old to overrulemore recent pro-Turkish news-outlets that state that:
(1) Sajur-river is the border
(2) pro-Turkish militants can't cross the Sajur-river because of American Special Forces deliberate patrolling south of the Sajur river stationed there to prevent clashes/borderchanges between SDF and pro-Turkish militants.
(3) stating that the SDF is controlling the other south-bank of the Sajur-river.
Witholder (august 2016) tweets, coming a then based on pro-Turkish false claims/wishes that pro-Turkish militants took 2 villages south of the Sajur-river. The large village (Ayn-Al-Dadat) many new sources confirmed this was false and this large village is under SDF control
The smaller village Oshariyah is not mentioned again for 6 months after these 'proven'(see Ayn-Al-Dadat) false tweets. This while all (even small) shooting over the Sajur-river is constantly reported.
There is no bridge over the sajur-river connecting the small village of Oshariyah to Turkish-controlled north bank. Recent satellite-imagery (terraserver) clearly visualise there are no make-shift bridges or pontoons placed on the sajur-river to maintain one bridgehead south of the Sajur-river nor there are defensive walls or positions constructed between Oshariyah and the surrounding other SDF controlled villages south of the sajur-river. (Location:http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=36.645559&lon=38.069944&z=14&m=b&show=/12297476/Oshariyah)
Please note that a bridgehead of Turkish forces south of the Sajur-river would be a major element, and would most definitely not be only reported by some tweets from only pro-Turkish militants. And it would be a hotbed of conflict, skirmishes for the last 6 months but no so such things are being reported.
For such a claim as a TSK-bridgehead south of the Sajur-river you need major sources. Not some old tweets that are already proven wrong for the bigger village and are even contradicted by several newer pro-Turkish newsoutlets.--Niele~enwiki (talk)11:47, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

He is obviously lying here and trying to distract with false things that has nothing to do with this. I never used any DNS fake acounts. He just randomly tries to link DNS-accounts every time a DNS-account reverts him without any evidence, link or real suspicion. Obviously there are large amounts of people trying to revert his edits, because his whole account-life is focused on making NPOV-edit on controversial topics from a pan-Turkish nationalist standpoint as he describes himself. Again calling a Turkish language law racist-motivated is not calling a user 'a racist'.--Niele~enwiki (talk)13:34, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
After he changed this SDF-controlled village in the summer from SDF to opp based on a twitter-rumor, I first reverted his edit bc it was using pro-Turkish unrealible and faulty proven tweets for pro-Turkish advance for something as important as a bridgehead over a river. Because I did'nt wanted to editwar with him, I left his re-revert then. Yet after 6 months there is still not one reliable source to back-up a controversial standpoint that Turkey established a bridgehead over the Sajur river. There are only reliable and pro-opp sources stating the Sajur-river is the border. While I gave him 6 months, he still can't provide any reliable source for the existance of somesort of one-village-counting-bridgehead, while it is completly impossible that there would be an one-village-counting-bridgehead on a location where there is no bridge/rivercrossing possibilitys on this frontline whitout any news from it for 6 months. If there was ever a bridgehead, it would be easy to find new reports, sources about this.--Niele~enwiki (talk)13:34, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

So that's a few more 1RR violations and a 3RR violation.

If in doubt, don't make the edit." Several of CatapultTalks' edits have been challenged by several users via reversion, yet he persists in restoring his preferred version without much discussion, much less bothering to get consensus.

Diffs of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page
A list of unrelated reverts dating as far back as December -- with no context whatsoever or associated talk age discussions -- is by no means evidence of edit warring on my part. A revert is not equivalent to an act of edit warring. Obviously, WP policy clearly dictates that there are times when reverts are perfectly appropriate. Nordid the editor who filed this complaint detail any instance of an attempt to resolve the alleged dispute. Furthermore, the bearing of a 24-hour 3RR violationfrom 4 years ago in this instance is nil and misleading. Overall, a rather suspicious and lopsided charge on several counts. There is no question that there has been growing conflict with Niteshift, and it has led to some back and forth reverting on both sides (his numerous countervailing reverts were not mentioned in the complaint), but it's baseless to suggest that I haven't engaged on the Talk page. In fact I have been repeatedly citing sound policy and using the Talk page where appropriate to resolve disputes, several times in the past few days alone.[222][223][224][225]
I have also left several past warnings to Niteshift to refrain from edit warring, as recently as today,[226][227] but these have gone unheeded. I have also been the subject of wikihounding by the same editor and was on the precipice of filing an administrative complaint.[228][229], and this was on the heels of another complaint I had to file against this editor for making personal attacks.[230] This seems suspiciously like a preemptive strike. Either way, at best, it's hyperbolically lopsided. I'd be happy to take this to dispute resolution or straight to ANI. It's long overdue.Rhode Island Red (talk)05:00, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
Red, I posted in the article that I was taking a break from it. Please don't try to divert attention from your own actions by trying to point the finger at someone else. Nothing I did justifies your edit warring, nor are your reverts only involving interactions with me. Yes, you made a complaint at ANI that went nowhere. Yes, you've conjured up some bogus wikihounding story that can be easily disproven. Now you're even talking about this complaint being "suspicious". I think you're missing the point here.THIS isn't about the content dispute or any imagined wrongs.THIS isn't a "happy to take this to ANI".THIS is about your violation of the 3RR.Niteshift36 (talk)05:22, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
I don’t think it’s healthy or productive for Niteshift and I to engage with each other directly here. But just for the record, Niteshift announced that he was taking a break (5:30)[231] long after this ANI was filed, and after engaging in multiple reverts (without using the talk page or providing sufficient reasons in the edit summaries), and well after I had left the user an edit warring notice (at 03:49).[232] Again, I find the timing somewhat odd, as well as the rather ill-formed nature of the complaint.
In other words, there was no real attempt made to back away from the conflict despite the user suggesting otherwise, and, most importantly, the user never did articulate a valid rationale for the content blanking.WP:REMOVAL stipulates “unexplained content removal is when the reason for the removal is not obvious, and is open to being promptly reverted.” My revert was consistent with this policy. I explained this on the Talk page but it fell on deaf ears.[233]Rhode Island Red (talk)16:30, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
If you talk about me, you should expect my participation. This report was filed at 2254. My post about taking a break was at 2259. Essentially, he and I were posting at the same time. 5 minutes is hardly "long after". It's 5 minutes. The first notification of this discussion was posted on my page at 2317. So please, stop exaggerating. You did finally try to discuss the issue on the talk page, but that was after a number of reverts by you and when I had finally started to disengage. As for your "odd timing" notion.... I can't recall ever interacting with the editor who filed this. It may have happened, but I don't remember one. If you have any sort of evidence about collusion, I strongly advise you to go directly to ANI. If you don't, I'd strongly advise you to stopcasting aspersions, as the ARBCOM considers it to be a form of personal attack.Niteshift36 (talk)17:29, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
All involved parties are expected to participate. My suggestion was merely that the involved parties present their arguments without personalizing them or engaging each other directly as doing so tends to propagate conflict.
Again, for the record, I posted an edit warring notice on Niteshift’s user page at 03:49.[234] This ANI against me was filed 5 minutes later at 03:54.[235] Niteshift was directly notified of this ANI fling at 04:17[236] and then stated that he/she would be backing off from editing more than an hour later (at 05:30).[237] This was long after the editor had reverted the content 3 times over a 24-hour period and without providing sufficient justification or using the Talk page.[238][239][240] This is not consistent with the claim here that Niteshift "did a good measure to try to end the edit-warring by giving up it". It’s important that we get the facts straight for the record before this ANI is closed.
This wasn’t the first incident like this either. Just a few days prior, the same editor pushed the reverting to the limit.[241][242][243][244] by blanking content, again without providing sufficient justification, and in this case, pretty much refusing editorial discussion on the Talk page.[245]
The egregious nature of this behavior begs the question as to why the filer of this ANI chose to make such a lopsided charge, singling me out but in effect exonerating the other party; And also why the filer described this as me undoing Niteshift’s edits, when in fact, the opposite took place. I added content and Niteshift blanked it – repeatedly and without an articulated and valid policy basis.Rhode Island Red (talk)22:41, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
don't know where you're getting your times because they don't match the record. Again, if you have anything to support your conspiracy theory, you know where ANI is located. Take it there. I'll listen for the sound of laughter.Niteshift36 (talk)02:53, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
Also, I would say that@Niteshift36: did a good measure to try to end the edit-warring by giving up it, but that really shouldn't excuse him too from 3RR argument, clearly by just looking at the revisions, shows that the user did engage in this too. Thisdoesn't put any less fault on@Rhode Island Red:. This doesn't require a second discussion, but should at least be brought up on this clearly one on one argument. —JJBers07:34, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
HeyNiteshift36 did not violate the 3RR! In addition as Niteshift36 pointed out blp problems in the edit summary and I tend to agree that much of that addition is a blp violation and not subject to the rule.CaseeArtTalk17:10, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
I didn’t violate 3RR either, but that didn’t stop you from launching this ill-formed complaint. Niteshift never brought up the issue of a BLP violation regarding the material in question (he/she merely left one vague edit summary about relevancy),[246][247][248] and it’s clearly not aWP:BLP violation. This isn’t really the place to delve into a content dispute, but if you had such concerns, the onus would be on you to provide a comment on the TPG, which you never did.[249] This isn’t an exercise in mind reading. BTW, it would be nice if you signed your comments when posting here.[250]Rhode Island Red (talk)16:05, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
The determination here is that I did not violate 3RR at all, and I did not say that Niteshift violated 3RR, but he/she did push it to the limit and was clearly edit warring. Your complaint was off-based, ill-formed, and painfully lopsided -- to the point where some might suspect tag-teaming.Rhode Island Red (talk)17:22, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
You pushed it as well my friend and were edit warring every bit as much. That's the difference between us. I know I was on thin ice and I chose to disengage. You simply refuse to see your own actions for what they are. I will again remind you that your bad faithfalse allegation of collusion or tag-teaming is a violation ofWP:NPA and you should cease immediately. You've been told the policy, you've been told the remedy. If yourefuse to hear it, I wouldn't blameCaseeart if he filed a complaint at ANI (the real ANI, as this is not ANI). He'd certainly have a reasonable complaint, since your attempt to play the "some might suspect" game is very transparent.Niteshift36 (talk)20:04, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
How things seems to you and how things are in reality are two different things. The determination is that I did not violate 3RR. Continuing to insist otherwise is bordering on a personal attack, so kindly stop. Myopically focusing on my edits and ignoring the transgressions of the other involved editor (shielding him/her in fact) raises serious questions about your neutrality.Rhode Island Red (talk)17:43, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
The diffes are here and it seems clear that you violated 3RR andNiteshift36. did not. It appears that other univovled users looked at your misleading comments without properly investigating. I would like to see how anyone proves it otherwise. Please don't try to scare me off with false accusations.CaseeArtTalk18:01, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
Once again, the determination here is that I did not violate 3RR, so it is highly inappropriate to keep insisting otherwise. Concede the point on move on.Rhode Island Red (talk)17:06, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
Caseeart, his accusations are completely baseless and he knows it. If he had the slightest bit of evidence to support his nonsense, he'd be at ANI. Given the number of times in this discussion that the allegation has been made toward one or both of us, even after being cautioned about it, it is clear that his personal attacks will not end.Niteshift36 (talk)20:13, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to look into this matter. Revert battles are never a desirable solution to editorial disputes, but sometimes a simple well-explained revert or two seems the lesser of two evils when faced with the daunting prospect of a an exhaustive debate that goes nowhere or, worse, hostile talk page discussions that bypass all the relevant policy issues. Nonetheless, the imposition of 1-revert per day limit on the page is probably a good thing, although I can anticipate that it might still be exhausting since any editor can remove content from the article, even without justification, and put the onus on other editors to try to convince someone who may be completely unwilling to be convinced, no matter how sound the argument; which is what has often taken place on the talk page to date.Rhode Island Red (talk)15:58, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
Yes, it is exhausting. Having to have a RFC to show some editors that their reading of WEIGHT is wrong, then turn around and have another one to do it again (and get the same result) take a lot of time out of my day.Niteshift36 (talk)19:20, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Can we please stop calling this ANI. This is not ANI. That kind of inattention to what s actually being said and then repeating it as fact is illustrative of the non-constructive discussions that have been taking place.Niteshift36 (talk)02:53, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

I just want ti add that this editor was blocked previously for edit warring, has been warned countless times to not edit war and to discuss, and as you can see from his edits and his edit summaries, he has no intention to stop or to edit in collaboration with other editors. He feels only he is correct and that others must abide by his edits.freshacconci talk to me20:53, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
This is unbelievable. Are you kidding me? That guy Johnbod is deleting things without using the TP and without using proper sources. I'm restoring the page to the original version. I.e. the correct version that isn't mentioning clear nonsense. Stop being pathetic and get a life.C.Gesualdo (talk)20:59, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
If I'm editing and people are constantly reverting my contributions and then refuse to engage in a discussion, then whose fault is it?C.Gesualdo (talk)22:29, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
I have been looking at this situation throughout the evening and you should really bedisengaging about now. Looking at your past edits I see the following:
You have reverted the same content from multiple editors several times and are currently pastthe three revert rule.
This andthis edit are effectively assertingownership of the article by simply reverting it to the version you prefer.
You have only just been unblock twice for the exact same reasons. First there was a 24 hour block for 3RR, followed by a two week block for edit warring that expired days ago (block log).
When you are in an edit war you disengage and discuss it on the talk page and leave the article alone in the meantime. It doesn't matter if you are right or wrong and equally it doesn't matter what revision is the topmost revision of an article. Wikipedia is more than a decade old and restoring an edit is as simple as two clicks, so it can likely survive despitethe wrong version of the article being displayed.Excirial(Contact me,Contribs)22:54, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
Why should I be the first one to discuss this on the TP? This is really ridiculous, every time I make an edit and someone reverts it, I'm expected to start a discussion about it. It doesn't make sense. Correct information was deleted without starting a discussion about it. Or do I have to give a compliment even if they're writing clear nonsense?User:Modernist andUser:Freshacconci both have this arrogant attitude and apparently feel that they never have to participate in a discussion. And yes, that's the behavior of assholes.C.Gesualdo (talk)23:06, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
If you disagree with another editors changes you can discuss them, walk away and work on something else or ask other people for feedback if you can't find any agreement. In either case you don't start an edit war nor should personal attacks be aimed at other editors. Your edits have no more inherent veracity than any other editors changes; Simply stating that your edits are correct and other editors write nonsense is a no-go as far as winning an argument goes. I can only say this and point to the above list and the previous two blocks as a caution. Your not a bad editor at all and I would very much prefer this entire thing just sizzles out, but the past two blocks combined with everything listed today is objectively already past the breaking point and it will certainly be if it keeps up.Excirial(Contact me,Contribs)00:00, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

Just take a quick look at the history of the article. The user insists on re-adding material that was removed by CONSENSUS. Thus, he's not only edit warring but is disrespecting the consensus on the talk page. Cheers.
PS: I had some trouble reporting this. I hope you don't mind.

Returned from an edit warring block byNeilN for edits toPalindrome and immediately broke 3RR again making the same edits. There is no consensus in the talk page thread for these edits and his participation in the thread[262] immediately prior to his last revert seems to indicate that he will continue to edit war.Meters (talk)07:46, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
I don't see how full protection of the page is warranted, or how it solves the problem. We have an extensive discussion of the issue on the talk page by multiple editors, including the one reported here. The reported editor has been making this change since December, has had multiple warnings, has been blocked for edit warring over this, and returned from his block to break 3RR again.Meters (talk)19:38, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
IP 12.111.217.25 continues to re-add unsupported content, including content about living persons, toWing Bowl#Past Wing Bowls. The article itself has been tagged with "Refimprove" since 2010 and also recently brought to AfD. Some of the content being re-added has previously been removed by other editors ([281][282]), but it keeps being re-added by without any attempt to discuss. Some dynamic IPs have also previously tried to add some of the same content, and they might be connected to IP 12.111.217.25's editing in someway. --Marchjuly (talk)00:32, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

Explanatory comment from uninvolved editor: The dispute appears to be about whether to include tags for {{Overly detailed}} and {{Copyedit}} on theCareer section of the article.
DeclinedTag bombing is counterproductive. In fact, tags should not be used unless you're going to actually specify the problems you percieve on the talk page. Simply reiterating the text from the templates on the talk page and saying the (fairly short) article needs to be "checked" or "reviewed" is not sufficient.WP:SOFIXIT.

This user's edits have been relatively problematic lately – it seems to be a combination of language issues (i.e. ESL?) and a quasi-WP:BATTLEGROUND approach to editing.

And perWP:LEAD, the introduction to an article doesn't have to have sources if they are already in the article, which is true here. Nonetheless, I added more sources to the statements and changed the language over the course of editing. I don't think this qualifies as edit warrioring.Denarivs (talk)06:01, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
It appears that you are adding dubious sources to a BLP -Glen Beck'sTheBlaze and an unsigned article in the Unification Church's The Washington Times are rarely suitable sources for a BLP, and if better ones don't exist then they shouldn't be used. And why call him Jewish in the first sentence? It comes across as "Jewish left-winger bad". That's why you are being reverted.
