  • Previous version reverted to: complex partial reversions

Comments: Thefourth edit byNetscott is not a reversion.John25415:42, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

John, there has been a technical violation here, but I'm not keen on blocking an established editor with no prior blocks over a tag dispute on a project page. Also, the first revert is arguably an edit. I'd prefer just to leave a note for him asking him to watch the reverting in future.SlimVirgin(talk)11:25, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
He's an administrator and should know better. If he's keen on reversing things under discussion (I have seen him do this before) that is inappropriate. If he is in violation, he should be treated as any other editor would be and get a block. He should not be given special treatment and held to lesser standards of behavior because he's an administrator. -THB12:46, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
It's for a number of reasons, THB. First, the report is ambiguous, because it's not clear that the first revert is a revert, and anyway if you look at the edits, you'll see they're inching toward a resolution; it's not just a pointless back and forth. Secondly, this is an established editor (admin has nothing to do with it) with no blocks to his name, despite being here since Feb 2005. Third, it was a dispute over a tag on a project page. For those three reasons jointly, I believe a note on his page is appropriate here.SlimVirgin(talk)13:39, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Comments: The user ramdrake reverted my contribution to a scientifical description of foie gras (as an effect of steatosis pathology) pretending that it "imparts a strong negative bias". But my contribution was a description of a fact, which he recognizes, and there were not any subjective valuations. Telling facts does not impart negative bias, just like telling that Saddam Hussein killed people is not a negative bias but just "letting the facts speak for themselves", as recommanded inWP:NPOV.

  • These are different reverts in different areas of the article. If Benio76 wants to call these a 3RR on Ramdrake, he himself has got 6RR on everybody else. Multiple users are reverting Benio76 on multiple sections of this article. Benio76 is asingle purpose account to push an agenda at that articleSchmuckyTheCat22:55, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Thepolicy says "The policy states that an editor must not perform more than three reversions, in whole or in part, on a single Wikipedia page within a 24 hour period." Ramdrake did four reversions in less than two hours.Benio7623:51, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
These strictly speaking aren't reverts. The diffs between versions are sufficiently different that I don't consider them reverts. If another admin has a different opinion, by all means, issue a block.--CSTAR20:23, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

These four edits by Ramdrake clearlyare reverts. They are the plainest reverts you can get!

  • Edit 1,18:18, December 26, 2006: Ramdrake deleted the phrase "and a number of countries and local jurisdictions" from the intro paragraph. I had just put that phrase in. To see that just go back to thepreceeding edit.
  • Edit 2,18:39, December 26, 2006: Same thing again, concerning the same phrase, except that Ramdrake also botched up the sentence by removing an additional piece. To see that it is a revert just go back to the two preceeding edits[12] and[13].
  • Edit 3,20:01, December 26, 2006: Ramdrake deleted the sentence "Its name refers to the pathology calledfatty liver orsteatosis, which induces an abnormal growth of the liver." and an additional two words that had just been put in by user benio76. To see that it is a revert just go back to the two preceeding edits[14] and[15].

If these are not reverts, both in the strict sense of the term and in the spirit of the 3RR guidelines, I really do not know what might qualify as a revert!

Ramdrake, along with other users, is counting on the strict enforcement of the 3RR rule against those who disagree with them, while being able to do exactly what they want to the foie gras page. Do the rules not apply to them? Is it NPOV for one party to be able to do what it wants, while the other sits paralyzed?

The murderous slaughters by Jews in Cyprus and Cyrenaica only increased the cleavage.Bar Cochba and his followers regarded the war as a national war and heavily penalized Christians for not helping their Jewish brethens.

That doesn't look like a revert to me. Consider the diffs between the versions of the first two:[16]: These versions substantially different--CSTAR20:29, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Reverts need not be to the same version. The second revert that you've linked above seems clear: edit summaryrestore the war issue... restoring the passage beginning with the words "Jews were involved in a war." Chabuk removed this passage[17], then Aminz restored it[18]. It's clearly a revert.BeitOr20:37, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
I don't think so. According to the definitionWP:Revert
However in the context of the English Wikipedia three revert rule, a revert is defined far more broadly as any change to an article that partially or completely goes back to any older version of an article.
The action taken on the second edit by Arminz does not take it back to the same version as the first edit. Please note also, that in filing a 3RR report, it is desirable that a "reverted to version" also be provided. In any case I don't see these as being reversions, but if you disagree, ask another admin to review my interpretation.--CSTAR20:56, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
One further comment: I tried looking at the diffs suggested by your comparisons of additions and removals. The diffs of these versions don't appear to me to be the same. But again as I said, please feel free to ask someone else.--CSTAR21:09, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

My only purpose was to add content to the article. The first edit for example is not a revert. As one can see from the talk page User: Charlie added the tag because he thought the title of the article is inherently POV. However I argued that we have articles onHistorical Persecution by Christians andHistorical persecution by Muslims and removed the tag. Later he added the tag again commenting that: "I overreacted, perhaps. But I still think that much of the content is very POV..." As soon as he pointed out the content dispute, I didn't remove the tag. I didn't mean the removal of the tag to be arevert. There is a story behind each other edits. I was about to add more content to the new section I've created which specifically ties the section to Judaism but couldn't do that because I was afraid it would be considered a revert. My feeling of the situation is that Beit Or is only removing whatever I add. --Aminz11:21, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

'Warning. Whether or not there is a story behind a revert is irrelevant. The point of the 3RR linit is to avoid edit warring; in this instance I didn't see a 3RR vio, it is pretty clear that you have engaged in edit warring. Next time, if there is evidence of edit warring, I will block you regardless of whether it's technically a 3RR vio or not.--CSTAR21:20, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

This is part of a long-standing dispute. For simplicity, I have given only his last four reverts.

This is a frivolous addition.User:196.15.168.40 is doing this as revenge because I got an administrator to protect a page in which, we've had an edit war going on. In addition one of the above links isn't a revert. I removed useless links.

Vercalos save yourself a big headache and simply ignore196.15.168.40. He is nothing but trouble. He has no regard for wikipedia's policies or rules. He's been around disrupting wikipedia since March. His favorite article is theDavid Westerfield article. A child-killer no less. He doesn't even understand the 3RR Rule. It protects against vandalism.

The last revert is reverting recently banned[35] open proxy vandalUser:Redstone357. Citing3RR policy on this matter:
  • Reverting edits from banned or blocked users

Editors who have been banned from editing particular pages, or banned or blocked from Wikipedia in general, and who continue to edit anyway, either directly or through a sock-puppet, may be reverted without the reverts counting towards the limit established by this policy.

Therefore this revert does not conform 3RR requirement. Plus it was provoked by the admin Bucketsofg himself as I applied his justification to the revert. Please see (1) in[36].
Also I would like to cite another paragraph from3RR policy:
  • Intent of the policy

The three-revert rule is intended to stop edit wars. For your information, articleUkrainian-German collaboration during World War II have been blocked from editing and revert war stopped. Please also consider that in my 1+ year of editing experience at WP I was never involved in editing wars and have no intent to be drawn into them anymore. --Bryndza05:20, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

User:SchmuckyTheCat reported byUser:Olivierd (Result: warning)

Three-revert rule violation onFoie_gras (edit |talk |history |protect |delete |links |watch |logs |views).SchmuckyTheCat (talk ·contribs ·deleted contribs ·logs ·filter log ·block user ·block log):

Comments:

The first four reverts were done by SchmuckyTheCat in less than 24 hours, on the same item: he repeatedly put back the "good article" template on the talk page of the foie gras article. Each time, he also relisted the article on the GA page. He also at least once (such as inthis diff) deleted the TotallyDisputed template from the main foie gras page. Strictly speaking, he has thus done a lot more than 4 reverts in those 24 hours.

Those reverts are on an issue that in itself shouldn't be disputed, which is the fact that the foie gras pageis disputed. SchmuckyTheCat appears unable to recognize even theexistence of disagreeing voices.

SchmuckyTheCat was warned by me after the fourth revert (seehere on the talk page) but he only sneered, and went on to perform two other reverts that same evening, on other issues.

I do not think the controversy on the foie gras page is to be resolved by revert counting; however, there are rules, and the liberties that SchmuckyTheCat and others repeatedly take with those rules gives them an unfair advantage, allowing them to go on editing the page in a totally POV manner while remaining completely oblivious of all attempts to discussion. This is why I now ask measures to be taken against SchmuckyTheCat.

David Olivier00:05, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I encouraged David Olivier to file this complaint[37]. David is on the losing side of a POV war onFoie gras. David attempted to use the Good Article status of the article as a battle. The GA process has a review process to remove articles. When David didn't follow the process, I restored the GA template to the talk page. I then followed what David should have done and filed the GA review for himWikipedia:Good_articles/Review#Foie_gras. Removing the tag in a POV war is underhanded vandalism. Restoring the tag, and listing the article for review when you don't think it should be reviewed, is good faith editing.
Note on the article itself I'm not being strict about counting, but I'm trying generally to follow 1RR per issue. David's 5th and 6th revert have nothing to do with each other.SchmuckyTheCat00:23, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
To whoever is reviewing this report - please be advised that there is an ongoing edit war revolving around two users (Oliverd, Benio76) engaged in aradical POV pushing (PETA activism). The issue has been discussed in length on article's Talk page and the user who's changes were reverted repeatedly ignored other editor's arguments.Alex Pankratov00:28, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

As perWP:GA/R, the GA tag is to be removed when a user sees that the article does not satisfy the criteria. The review process is forrelisting the article. That there is an ongoing edit war is uncontroversial, and it is particularly absurd to try to dispute the fact that the article is disputed. To call vandalism an edit by someone who disagrees with you is just rhetoric.David Olivier01:13, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

There is a huge conflict about the neutrality offoie gras. A small group of editors are regularly boycotting other editors' improvements, in order to preserve a positive bias pushing commercialization of foie gras. These people ignore arguments, sources and quotation of WP guidelines furnished by other editors, and they have gone as far as accusing me of having created a sock puppet, which is false. Since the article does not satisfy the GA criteria, the reverts made by SchmuckyTheCat are unjustified,Benio7601:51, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm not very happy with all this, but... firstly, reverts to article and talk pages are (AFAIK) counted separately (this could be a Good Question). Secondly STC should not have rv'd 4 times to restore the GA tag, but its semi-stale now; and I don't think the GA tag should simply be removed. So STC gets a warningWilliam M. Connolley11:34, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Reverting a talk page seems like disruptive behavior and should be handled separately. Though in some cases reversion in a talk page is justified (to remove obscenities, defamation, vile personal attacks etc) why should it be tolerated there in other cases at all? --CSTAR17:27, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Certainly. But what I meant was, the talk and article pages count separately towards the count of 4... at least I think they do. I'll put it onto talkWilliam M. Connolley18:04, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

User is vandalizing an article by removing sourced content that he claims does not exist for instance. For instance in revert 4 I was readding a quote he removed without cause, stating source doesnt support statement. However the sources first line states:He never studied, trained, or even had any intention to become an authority on terrorism. The source clearly states he is an authority on terrorism, so why is this removed? It seems Hipocrit has decided to vandalize the article after TheronJ explained my creation of it was within guidelines.[54] TheronJ's statement shows my reversions was preventing blanking of the page. --NuclearZer018:31, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I consider those reverts as vandalism also, and I and other editors as well had discussions with Pernambuco in his talk page[57] without convincing him to change his behaviour.

You could report report it atWP:AN/I, but I don't think that will do any good. From what it looks like to me, the block was justified. You made 4 reverts and were blocked. Those "edits" you speak of count as reverts underWP:3RR. --Wildnox(talk)19:23, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Well, firstly, I reverted what I believe to be asock editor. I won't say whom at the moment. Then Bastun started reverting back to the "sock" edits.MelForbes19:33, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
I see no evidence of sockpuppetry, nor do I see any users on that page who even edit from the same country as the IP. Do you have any actual evidence, you really can't make that claim on a hunch. --Wildnox(talk)19:42, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
That's not fully correct. WP allows a "sock revert" for suspected sockpuppet, and it's not counted as a revert. I cannot state who the sock is a the moment, as I would have to go to checkuser first, and it seemed hardly worth it at the time. And checkuser is not always conclusive. It could be classed as a minor sock.MelForbes19:51, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Actually it is fully true, you need at least SOME proof of sockpuppetry, you can't just throw the claim out there with no actual proof. There appears to be none, as no other users on that article were even from the same country as the IP and it is not a known proxy. --Wildnox(talk)19:56, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
See, that is a prob with WP. An editor cannot do something in good faith?, I didn't want to writesock in the edit because of the proof issue. Then WP urges its editors to be bold. It's a no-win situation. Stick ones neck out, and chop chop.MelForbes20:03, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Actually, you're assuming bad faith when you seem to have assumed that the user was a sock. Even if you had noted that in your summary, without proof, you would have still been blocked. Like I said before, you can always report this atWP:AN/I if you think there has been wrongdoing. --Wildnox(talk)20:08, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
As I said, it's a no-win situation, the chicken and the egg conundrum. An editor makes a very simple rv to an anonymous user and suspected sock, then another editor with a axe to grind makes a report. Wikipedia has lost some very excellent editors in the past over silly little things that go out of hand. I may not bother much more with it, I'll think about it.MelForbes20:52, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Users 203.220.171.80 and 203.220.171.90are sockpuppets of one another. Whether malign or benign is debatable, but the broad principle is correct.

And your point is? 203.220.171.80 made (from all I can see, good-faith) edits to the previous version, explained in his/her edit summary. You reverted four times, despite me bringing it up on the talk page. I reported you here. 203.220.171.90 (almost definitely the same editor as 203.220.171.80) later reverted you. The point is, you still broke the 3RR.
If you're assuming the 203.220.171.x users are also me, I can assure you you're incorrect, and have no problem with a checkuser being done to verify that all my edits originated from my home IP address, which will be shown to be Esat/BT (or whatever they're calling themselves today).Bastun13:15, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
No Baston, I do not assume that it is you. It has been established in other cases of WP that IP addresses can be sockpuppets too. This case is no different. Technically speaking 203.220.171.80 is a different personality from 203.220.171.90, as different as chalk and cheese, but I bet that they are the one and same user.MelForbes13:27, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
I won't take the bet because I agree with you. Point is - you reverted four times after 203.220.171.80's edits. 203.220.171.90 didn't show up till after I'd reported you and so is irrelevant to this report.Bastun13:33, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Curtis has clearly had a warning (just below).Every other editor who has edited this agreed that a summary be added, instead of extremely lengthy & possibly copyright violation text. There have been numerous complaints by Ronz, me, l'cast, Hughgr, Wildnox on thetalk page.He has continued to be insulting, and aggressive in reverting - after ALL OF THIS. He obviously has no problem flaunting WIkipedia. I do not see a warning on his page, but I ask anyone to look at all t he discussion here, all the complaints, the consensus on his edits, and tell me if he is complying with WIkipedia. I can't believe anyone would do this.Jance19:59, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

TheUser:Jance has persistently reverted necessary changes to this article and violated the 3RR. --Curtis Bledsoe00:33, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

First, the user was never warned and therefore is very unlikely to be blocked. Second, it appears you have violated 3RR on the article in question. --Wildnox(talk)01:11, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Thank you, WIldnox. I have opened anAN/I on Curtis, because of a barrage of insults, ridicule, and general abuse, as well as 3RR, and editing an article after someone (not I) added a copyright tag because of his edits. Most recently, he libeled an editor in another article. He has also followed me to yet another article for the sole purpose of harassment. This is already an article that has been contentious. He changed portions, without discussion, that had been discussed and debated at great length for months.Jance02:07, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand the double-standard. Whether or not I have violated 3RR is irrelevant - I haven't violated 3RR, but if you have evidence that I have, then you're welcome to block me as well. But that doens't change the fact that Jance has demonstrably violated 3RR and should be blocked. --Curtis Bledsoe03:11, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Your report may be ignored if it is not placed properly."

Sorry, this was my first. I normally wouldn't have reported it, but the actions of the user in question were pretty OTT. What does it mean "diff of 3RR warning _before_ this report was filed here"? --Curtis Bledsoe04:52, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
It means you have to show a diff of a warning, unless you can prove he/she knew of 3RR prior to the 4th revert. --Wildnox(talk)04:55, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Both Jance and Curtis Bledsoe have contributed to 9 reverts over a variety of edits (no single point more than twice I agree) - seeWikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Breast_implant.2C_again - do these really consitute 3RR or AN/I consideration ?David RubenTalk05:03, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

  • HongQiGong appologised after the 1st incidenthere (20:37, 29 December 2006). But he broke 3RR in the 2nd incident.--Endroit19:59, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment on the second "incident" - Notice the time stamp between the 1st and the 4th edits, there is more than a 24-hour gap. And my 5th edit was not a revert, but a new edit.Hong Qi Gong(Talk -Contribs)20:17, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
      • HongQiGong kept adding 2 sentences which were not new. Those were unilateral additions.--Endroit20:21, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
        • The edit between my fifth edit and other edits are different, and offered as a compromise. Also, I'd like to point out, that Endroit never warned me of 3RR or notified me of his 3RR report here.Hong Qi Gong(Talk -Contribs)20:23, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
          • We're requesting 3rd opinion from any admin. HongQiGong is a repeat violator of 3RR, as he has been blocked before.--Endroit20:28, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
          • (Edit conflict with above response)But you have been given warnings in the past for other 3RR incidents, you don't need to be warned every time, just the first time. There is no requirement to notify users of the report either. --Wildnox(talk)20:30, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
            • Don't get me wrong, if an admin feels I should be blocked, then I won't argue with that. My edits are in good faith and Endroit here is basically trying to use 3RR to prevent an edit that he disagrees with, notice the revert-warring on the article. And I do maintain that my latest edit, which prompted this report, is a different edit offered as a compromise. Finally, I'm only citing what I read on the top of this page, which, to be honest, makes Endroit's motives questionable, if he has neither warned me nor notified me of this report:
            • Administrators are unlikely to block a user who has never been warned.

              • The thing is you have been warned in the past, there is no requirement to do so for every new violation, as you can see in the template below it's only needed for new users. Also good form does not mean requirement, though I admit good form is always preferred. --Wildnox(talk)20:42, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
              • HongQiGong, I'd like to see you in the talk pages AND GAIN CONSENSUS first before making those edits. And yes, your addition about "weaving cloth", etc. (2000 years ago) was repeated 4 times in 24 hours.--Endroit20:46, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Comments: User is adding an irrelevant link to the article; he tried to do so months ago and was warned to stop. He participated in discussion only briefly, to accuse those reverting him of being abusive and bullying, and never responded to the arguments against his addition to the article. He came back today making the same edits without discussing them.csloat00:39, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

since csloat is telling essentially the same fibs he told [here[79], i'll quote from what i've written in response already.
i am in technical violation of 3RR (i've only reverted twice "today"), but i began seeking mediation prior to my first revert. in contrast, csloat has one revert left before violation. he has so far not returned to the talk page to explain his behavior. he has refused to communicate directly with me, but has shadowed me from page to page reverting my edits and telling fibs like the one above about the matter. ...when csloat testifies that my addition of a single, relevant cross-link is "disruptive," that is a chracterization, albeit one that fails the standard of reasonability. ... but when he asserts that i "refused to explain" my "actions in talk", it is - i really don't want to use harsh language - but it is a lie, and one which can be exposed by simply reviewing the talk page.
i hope this can be of help in administrating the issue. it is my understanding that deliberately reverting only three times per day, but in a nonetheless persistent and aggressive manner is called "gaming" 3RR and is considered a violation of its own sort.67.175.216.9004:36, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm torn. While he is indeed in technical violation of 3rr, and should have used more descriptive edit summaries than 'rv' or vandalism rollbacks...if Grcampbell was indeed depopulating a category while it was up for CFR then he should have left it. I think Mel tried to convey this to Grcampbell, but failed to get an agreement and continued with less than helpful edit summaries. If Grcampbell was just removing the Occitan personalities cat from an article or two per reasoning that it doesn't belong on them then he should have been allowed to do so. If they were really Occitan (whatever that is ;) ) then once the cat was renamed or deleted or whatever someone would have re-added them. I would have personally handled the reversion situation differently, but I think if Mel agrees to not revert it again I'd be happy with an unblock. I find no fault with the application of 3rr; it was a tricky situation at best, which of several conflicting processes takes precedence.Syrthiss22:44, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

It was very clearly four reverts and we should not give a free pass. The other editor tried to refer this to discussion, but the rollbacks continued. Oppose unblock.Jonathunder22:48, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Comments: Repetitive revert warring, on the section that begins with the words "TheYayoi period," ....

Edits are all different in quality, so your claim is not valid. :)--Sir Edgar05:10, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Any edit to the aforementioned "Yayoi" section should be based on the ongoing discussions inTalk:Japan. Sir Edgar, your 4 edits in this sections are all unilateral edits against such consensus. The fact that you are changing a few words here and there only show that you're trying to be evasive, but they're all reversions.--Endroit06:02, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
I agree with Endroit. You cannot skirt 3RR by hiding the same revert among several other changes and claim that they are substantively different. The exact same sentence was reverted by you more than 3 times, period.-Jefu16:53, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm afraid this is too subtle for me. What is the "exact same sentence" that is being reverted?William M. Connolley18:42, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Check the second paragraph of "early history". The relevant extract is as follows.
"TheYayoi period, starting around the 3rd century BC, marked the influx of new practices such as wet-rice farming,iron andbronze-making, and a new style of pottery, brought by migrants from the Chinese mainland and the Korean peninsula."
What Sir Edgar was doing was making different sorts of edits, but the general theme was to change and/or invalidate the above extract I mentioned, which was a consensus agreement. The first three times he did it with "migrants from the Korean Peninsula", the fourth with "migrants from China and Korea". The intent was the same, to change the focus of that part of the article. I agree with Jefu - he should not be allowed to avoid 3RR by making these changes by throwing in other edits.John Smith's20:16, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
OK, I was on that sentence. But I couldn't see 4R. You may be pushing the envelope of the defn of revert here - changing the focus of a part isn't necessarily a revertWilliam M. Connolley20:26, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Surely it is if you would force the other party to break 3RR to restore the previous version, especially if it's consensus. People on wikipedia get bitten by the rules by making what they thought was a fair fourth edit, without even intending to annoy people - why should Sir Edgar get away with this when it's clear by his attitude (check his talk page and those of the article) he doesn't care what anyone else thinks?John Smith's20:32, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
I know this is not a concensus-based decision, but let me just offer this - if the purpose of a block on him is to stop him from revert-warring, then the block would be quite pointless right now. He has already stopped revert-warring on his own. Plus, a block on him would prevent him from participating in discussion (correct me if I'm wrong), regardless of how stubborn some of us may think he is.Hong Qi Gong(Talk -Contribs)19:27, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Hong, I don't think having Sir Edgar around is actually helpful to the discussion. He has repeatedly indicated he only cares whathe thinks is right - he doesn't think your opinion or my opinion (or that of any of the other editors) counts for anything. He needs to be blocked, else he will start this merry little dance all over again in 24 hours time.John Smith's20:16, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Well, I agree he is stubborn, but that's not enough a justification for a block. At least, not that I'm aware of. I'm sure that, as always, the admins will judge how they see fit, whether or not we agree with the decision. All I'm saying is that he has not kept up with his reverts after this report, so I'm not sure what the point of a block would be. I agree that his participation in discussion is hardly going to be helpful, if he keeps up his attitude. But we can't really block on what we think people will do in the future, IMHO.Hong Qi Gong(Talk -Contribs)22:15, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Let me make a few things clear. I was not trying to skirt the 3RR rule. In fact, I am not even aware if I did indeed revert 3,4 times. After I was warned by our friend Endroit here that Imight be in violation of this rule, I did not edit the supposed sentence in question again. So, my intention to not violate the rule is without doubt. I was merely giving the article an overall edit. Obviously, you did not assume good faith. This is despite the fact that I recall offering alternative edits.

Regardless, it is up to the administrators to decide how to administer this site. Not you. Frankly, I don't give a damn whether I am blocked or not because I'll just come back and edit what I believe is the truth. My aim is to write and editgood articles that are based on the facts, not the consensus of a bunch of idiots. These people decided that they'd make a compromise between themselves and didn't even quote the articles that were sourced. I wanted to fix this.

The fact of the matter is, I am simply outnumbered here. In the past, I tried to maintain the highest standard of civility based on reason and thought. Instead, I was repeatedly attacked by a bunch of anonymous accounts and users that are now banned. That is what they are referring to and you can see this on my Talk page. But that does not matter. My intention is not to achieve popularity.

Now, I don't care about the opinion of people who are obviously biased and twisting the truth for their own satisfaction. I want to continue to contribute to making Wikipedia articles more accurate. Whether I have to fight this fight alone does not matter to me. I know that several people are ganging up on me using this rule or that rule to avoid getting into trouble while trying to get me into trouble (i.e. 3RR). See the History page of this article.

In other words:Consensus is less important to me than the facts. It is not my opinion or your opinion that matters. Just the facts.

By the way, do not equate my perception of Jefu's or Hong's opinion with yours. I do not value them on the same level.--Sir Edgar00:08, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I know this is now out of context of the 3RR report - but what do you mean by your last sentence and who were you addressing?Hong Qi Gong(Talk -Contribs)01:50, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Someone who constantly tries to edit a single paragraph isn't interested in the "truth" - it's called being obsessed with having things as they want them. Maybe you should book a session with a psychiatrist....John Smith's19:53, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Note:Please see comments to see why both users effectively count as one

ForHistory of Pakistan

ForPakistani nationalism


Comments: In both cases, the first two reverts are done byUser:Siddiqui and the last two byUser:HamzaOmar, a "new user". The two users should be treated as one and the same becauseof this case inWP:ANI[123]

User:Siddiqui has persistently gone against consensus in several articles relating to Pakistan, most notablyPakistani nationalism andHistory of Pakistan,where he has been repeatedly adding unreliable sources (randomunverifiable geocities links) and steering the tone in favor of fringesectarian views. His edit-warring, as evidenced here[124][125] and[126][127][128],[129],do not involve discussions or debates but simply persistent revertsover long periods of time. This user has expressed such disruptivebehaviour before, advancing narrow, nationalistic and politicallyinflammatory minority views (see this).Then, when it was clear that reasonable people fixed his edits, hedecided to recruit tag-team meatpuppets. He started to post to acertain group of ideologically biased users, such asUser:Nadirali,User:szhaider (who considers India a threat to world peace - look at his userpage) andUser:Unre4L(who is on a mission to "reclaim Pakistan's stolen heritage")[130][131][132][133][134]to try to revert-war there, which they did[135][136][137]. In addition, he solicited a meatpuppet from off wiki, a user namedUser:AliHussain.This is evident from the fact that this user, a new user, immediatelyposted to Siddiqui's page upon logging in for the first time[138] about "seeing what he can do" and proceeded to revert-war again[139][140].The users Nadirali and Unre4L were involved in some ridiculous debateover the nonexistent concept of "Ancient Pakistan" (based not onscholarly sources but Pakistani historical revisionism) inTalk:History of IndiaTalk:History of Pakistan andTalk:Panini.They have been resoundedly refuted by several knowledgeable users likeUser:Dbachmann,User:DaGizza,User:Deeptrivia andUser:Fowler&fowler but they continue to prowl the pages. There have been RfC posts by other users concerning their narrow fringe views[141]. in turn they tried to create a bogus article about an undergroundIslamic Fundamentalist/Pakistani nationalist website started by this group of singleminded editors that which got speedily deleted[142]. This problem is becoming increasingly difficult to contain and these users are rapidly getting disruptive.Bakaman01:28, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

More instances of such behaviour:[143][144][145]Rumpelstiltskin22301:44, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Thus, it is very likely thatUser:HamzaOmar, also a new user, is a meatpuppet ofUser:Siddiqui recruited from some forum somewhere and brought over to this article to engage in revert-warrings. It is also possible that they are one and the same person. Administrator may decide what action to take if the evidence presented is sufficient or not.

Comments:
The 4th revert seems to be only partial. I am not familiar with the article and I have not researched if the reverts were legitimate.

The reason why I became aware of Rumpelstiltskin223 was that I am currently a mediator forWikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-12-26 Decline of Buddhism in India, and Rumpelstiltskin223 repeatedly blanked text inDecline of Buddhism in India, which disrupts the mediation and adds fuel to the emotions of the parties. (Rumpelstiltskin223 is not party to the mediation.) Usually, Rumpelstiltskin223 writes no edit summary, so I wrote{{summary2}} onUser talk:Rumpelstiltskin223. When I wanted to add diffs to the template, I noticed the 3RR incident. I have not written a notice on the talk page for that.

This is the first time I'm reporting a 3RR incident, and I apologize if I have made any mistakes. I'm particularly concerned about if I entered the right time stamps, since I'm getting tired now. I am a bit surprised about the insistence on the number 3. I came here after readingWP:3RR, which says "This does not imply that reverting three times or fewer is acceptable. Users may be blocked for edit warring or disruption even if they do not revert more than three times per day."

Comments: I have warned Okkar about removal of material from this article that existed before he got here today, he continues to unilaterally do so without consensus.

Only three of those diffs involve Okkar, but all four of them involve you re-adding the image. So well done! You reported yourself for breaking the rule succesfully.
Given this, it suggests to me that there's some confusion over some of the policies on your part. So I'll presume that any block would be puniative and thus a warning and explanation on talk page is more approriate.Robdurbar11:46, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

I misunderstood the instructions. I think I have now put in the correct revision for "Previous version reverted to". --Timeshifter16:50, 6 January 2007 (UTC) I think.
William, Timeshifter has constructed these whole sections of these pages basically by himself. He is the single most prolific editor, *by far*, of all these pages dealing with casualties in Iraq. They are effectively "his" babies, and reflect a particular POV narrative based on his own opinions, with material cherry picked and cited (or not cited and just made up) accordingly. I think this is beginning to border on invalidating all these pages as partisan opinion editorials rather than encyclopedic entries. I've now gotten in the way of his prolific editorializing with a couple small edits. Since I've gotten in the way of his carefully crafted 'narrative', he's now decided to 'tell on me', invoking this 3RR rule. I've described my reasons for removing some (a tiny fraction) of his voluminous edits in the talk pages. In the first case, on the Lancet study page, he is making up various claims about a "baseline rate" in an ILCS study and writing up theories of his own based on this. I've deleted these theories of his, which were masquerading as facts. He didn't like that. The other case is him putting a claim on the IraqBodyCount page that another party "disputes" a fact I cited, but he links to a recently POV-tagged section of the Lancet article (which, again Timeshifter wrote himself) which does not address the fact in question, but disputes something else.74.64.60.14807:36, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Timeshifter is clearly a partisan for a particular POV centered exclusively around this Lancet mortality study, and all of his massive edits on all these Iraq casualty pages - and he seems to have hit all of them - are designed and constructed to proselytize that particular POV, mostly involving filling them all up with quotes and arguments from the authors of that study, or others who share the same POV, or various references that are cherry picked where they can support some aspect of that POV. His edits are all a very thinly veiled (and sometimes not at all veiled) exercise in proselytizing. Really, all of his edits should be reverted for POV violation, but then almost none of these pages would exist, since he is their main author by now. There'd be almost nothing left.74.64.60.14807:36, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
I suspect he will "win" all of these little "edit wars" because I have neither the time, energy nor interest to keep up with that level of zealotry. It's simply a shame that this kind of thing should make wikipedia an unreliable source on any matters that are at all controversial. When one partisan on one side of an issue can construct virtually the whole pages to match that partisan POV, and then tries to get anyone banned who gets in the way of even a small part of that project, these pages become pretty useless.74.64.60.14807:36, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
As usual you do not read wikipedia instructions. You are not supposed to argue here. You might get some more respect if you got a user name. This is your 3rd IP address in the last few months of vandalizing these pages. --Timeshifter07:48, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
By the way, most of what this anonymous editor has said here is untrue, but I can't reply in detail here due to the rules here. --Timeshifter09:07, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
The instructions here say to explain the reversions in a few sentences if necessary. User:74.64.60.148 has been deleting sourced material now for months under several different IP addresses. I finally got fed up and decided to figure out 3RR incident reporting. The bottom line in this specific case is that he is deleting the same relevant sourced material, and putting out a fog of misinformation to cover it up. The diffs show the deletions clearly. I have been thanked several times by several editors of various Iraq War casualty pages. Only this anonymous editor seems to have a problem with my edits. --Timeshifter09:31, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

I fixed the diffs. He has 5 reverts. 4 of which occurred in the last 24 hours. --Timeshifter07:56, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

That is the revision that he keeps reverting to. So I guess that first deletion difference to get to that revision does not count as a revert. And so I guess he is only up to 3 reverts. To me that first deletion is a revert in my mind. He is reverting the page back to a point when it did not have that material. The instructions are very unclear. I can help rewrite the hidden notes if you wish. --Timeshifter20:59, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Comments: User in question is also deleting large amounts of text containing facts supported by reliable sources. His deletions cause the article to violate WP:NPOV, and a couple of other WP rules and policies.

Wrong. The first edit was a correction to a biased edit made by this user. He is deliberately gaming the system to promulgate ignorant edits. I tried to explain them but he did not listen and just kept reverting, based on partisan sources when the article sourced neutral sources. See this attempt to canvass mass-reverters[163] and my attempt to explain the situation to him[164]. This edit summary is blatantly non-neutral and shows racist biases on his part[165], as well as the intent to game the system against neutrality.Rumpelstiltskin22303:57, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
In fact, my first edit was not a revert, since I let his concerns about citations needed remain as they are legitimate. It is his extreme bias that I was attempting to correct. Furthermore, he did not discuss the issues I raised in my edit summaries and continued to revert, disrupting the editing process to make his point, violatingWP:POINT (as evidenced by his biased edit summary). Other editors have also addressed his biases in the article on subsequent edits. Thus, there was no 3RR as first edit was not a revert.However, this user Falcon2020 clearly was edit-warring with no intention to discuss, tried to canvass support for revert-warring and refused to discuss his changes and tendentious edits.Rumpelstiltskin22304:11, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Let me explain further. Falcon2020's first edit was this[166], a series of small edits made in quick succession which is essentially one major edit. The problem was that it reworded some section titles in a redundant way and tried to poison the reader to a particular point of view, particularly when the supersection had the issue well-described in the title. He also put some fact tags to sentences that are unsourced, which is perfectly acceptable. My subsequent edit[167] corrected his redundancies but left the fact tags as is on the grounds described above. So it is not a full revert, and I did not delete his changes just to edit-war but for the purposes of improving the article, which is the correct attitude for a wikipedia editor. In contrast, his attitude is the wrong attitude for a wikipedia editor. Not neutral, biased and extremely ill-informed about the situation.Rumpelstiltskin22304:18, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

The version presented by Falcon is biased and non-neutral compared to the earlier presented one by Rumpel.Nobleeagle [TALK] [C]04:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Firstly, that is not a justification to violate 3RR. Secondly, my edits bring in data and facts collected from notable sources like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. The article in its previous condition began with apologetics justifying the killing of 2000 Muslims, as well as the rape of several hundred. The government has been accused by other governments and NGOs alike of participating directly in instigating and supporting the massacre. The editors here feel that the same government which COMMITTED the atrocity should be the soul source of information regarding the event.Falcon202004:32, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
These are expressions of partisan extremist groups that have an agenda to spread disinformation against certain ethnic groups of people. That much is eminently clear. however, their views are included in the article already,but it says thatthey are views, not corroborated facts. The corroborated facts scome from neutral sources, which is the OPPOSITION government, NOT the government that is accused of the rioting. This is what he either fails to understand, or understands and does not care becuase he is spreading misinformation on wikipedia.Rumpelstiltskin22304:36, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Comments: Five reverts within an hour. The situation escalated into a revert war because this editor was uncivil and made insulting edit summaries that didn't give a reason for the revert - a simple explanation would have stopped the reverting on both sides. Editor also fails to AGF by calling the edits he was reverting "vandalism"[168] when it was simply a content dispute. Even after 3RR was pointed out, the editor still defends his edit warring on the grounds that he was "right". --Milo H Minderbinder16:07, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Reply: this user does not appear to grasp what was happening. Originally reverted to remove do-nothing edit and misspelling of 'defence' as 'defense'; this was reverted by another user. I corrected the spelling of 'defense' to 'defence' itself within the article, summarising it with a rude comment to the original reverter; he then reverted it again. I reverted it again, giving a clear explanation: "DEFENCE IS SPELLED WITH A 'C', NOT AN 'S'". This was then deliberately reverted several times by "Amos Han", despite another warning by myself of 'no Americanisms'. I interpreted this flouting of the British English convention in British articles as deliberate vandalism: 3RR rule says, "This policy does not apply to self-reverts, correcting simple vandalism, reverting the edits of a banned or blocked user, or other specific scenarios listed in the Exceptions section below." It later transpired that the offending user did not know defence was spelling with a 'c' in Britain, but that did not change how it could be interpreted at the time. Nor is it an edit war if it is the removal of vandalism: either that, or 'Deathly Hallows' has been in a constant edit war for weeks. Meanwhile, 'Milobinder' is deliberately obscuring facts or lying: Idid give a clear explanation of why I was correcting the spelling. He claims that 3RR applies to reversion of incorrect data - I see no indication of that, and find it very hard to believe (there are repeated vandalistic actions to 'Sirius Black' article, for example, how are those meant to be dealt with ifwe are in danger of being blamed?). Furthermore, the first example of my reversions 'Milobinder' gives is not even the same as the others: the first, I understand some might object to, but the others were an attempt to maintain the integrity of the article. Milobinder, however, does not appear to care: he is more concerned with misleading/lying and threatening me with blocking than he is with working out what happened. The second thing he takes me to task for, rudeness, I have already apologised for to the relevant parties. This user has not apologised for his lies and threats. I sincerely hope that my explanation - which I have repeatedly given - will be understood. Thank you.Michaelsanders16:40, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
The above response is a perfect example of how Michaelsanders has been handling this whole situation. Accusations of "lies and threats", trying to justify a clear 3RR violation with "but my version was right", demonstrating lack of AGF by characterizing a one-letter spelling change in one word as vandalism, trying to dismiss criticism with "this user does not appear to grasp what was happening". The diffs above speak for themselves, five reverts. --Milo H Minderbinder17:06, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
My revertswere right: Harry Potter is a British subject, so we donot use American spelling. You have been untruthful, by deliberately not looking at the matter in the context it happened i.e. I was reverting obviously false data. You threatened me with blocking or being taken here when I disputed your claim that reversions of vandalism are not allowed; lied, because the 3RR says that reversions of vandalism donot count, despite your claims to the contrary. As for vandalism: I know now that it wasn't vandalism - the user has explained himself. But at the time, when that user ignored several clear warnings that American spellings were not permitted, and persistently reverted to the American spelling, what was Isupposed to think? And you clearly do not understand what was going on there if, despite my detailed explanation, youstill do not grasp who was in the right and who in the wrong.Michaelsanders17:14, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Note:User:Michaelsanders edited my comments above to remove a diff, I have restored it. --Milo H Minderbinder18:39, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
And I have removed it again. As you would know if you bothered to look, it shows a comparison which is entirely irrelevant: your removal of a vandal's accusation of you using a sockpuppet, which has absolutely no bearing on this matter. I am going to assume that the comparison link was relevant when you first put it in there, but it certainly isn't now: all it does is give the impression that I vandalised your talk page; and that you are, yet again, willing to mislead or distort facts in order to make others look bad. Correct the link, or leave it out.Michaelsanders20:01, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Your opinion of whether a diff is relevant isn't grounds for editing other people's comments (nowrepeatedly). Whether it is relevant is up to the admin to decide. Do not edit my comments again, that is grounds for blocking as well. --Milo H Minderbinder20:10, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

My opinion? That comparison shows that you removed the comment, left by an IP address, of "Why are you talking to yourself, sockpuppet?" Are you saying that that is at all relevant? Are you accusing me of leaving that comment? If you are, say it directly. If you aren't, use the right link, or leave it altogether. You seem to have avery strange attitude towards the truth. You also seem determined to wind me up. Why is this? Why do you have the gall to tell me off, when your attitude of deception and outright malice is far more damaging to wikipedia? I have repaired your link, since you seem unable to do it. If you revert it, I will assume that youare accusing me of that vandalistic sockpuppetry slander.Michaelsanders20:20, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

I was reverting vandalism. Those reverting my edits had done so after I voiced an opinion they objected to inTalk:Persian Gulf. They simply went to those articles and reverted everything, without even looking at the fact that what they deleted included updated wikilinks, fact tags and NPOV clean-ups. It is a case of blatant stalking and vandalism. Take a look for yourself.--الأهواز | Hamid | Ahwaz14:53, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Ahwaz accumulated quite a long block list including at least 4 3RR blocks. On the other hand his edits appear to be in a good faith (I actually like his version better than the other) and he might mistakenly believe that restoring tags does not count towards 3RR.

Comments: First 3 reverts are simple reverts, the last revert is more complex but as previously deletes the same large parts of the article.Ultramarine06:40, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

This report is misleading. I made four edits to the article today.[206][207][208][209] The first was not a reversion but a major new edit, removing and/or cleaning up problem sections. My subsequent two edits were reversions of Ultramarine, who came along and undid my work, which he/she often does whenever I edit an article on his/her watchlist. My fourth edit was an attempt to reach a compromise with Ultramarine, restoring some savagable parts of content I had removed while removing two sections that did not fit into the structure of the article, and not a simple reversion. Ultramarine should be encourged to discuss his/her reversion of my clean-up, rather than gaming the system here.172 |Talk06:52, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Note: although I only made two clear reverts, which may entitle me to make another one without skirting 3RR, I will refrain from editing the article for at least 48 hours, giving me more time to understand Ultramarine's (unclear) objections to my clean-up and figure out how to draft a new version.172 |Talk06:56, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Your first revert was a simple revert to your 27 March version, undoing many months of work. The next 2 reverts were also simple reverts to this old version. The last revert is more complex but again deletes the same large parts of the article.Ultramarine06:58, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
The page had been stable for months. There is no real revert if there is no one in particular I am reverting. You reverted my clean up; so in all practical effect, you made the first revert of the day on the page, not me... Perhaps you may classify my first edit as a revert on the basis of a silly technicality. But since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a system of law, the spirt of policies like 3RR, not the legalisms, is what matters. I will be quite disappointed-- and I will appeal the decision-- if an admin decides to reward such a blatant attempt to game the system, rather than encouraging you to work toward compromise and positive change of the article.172 |Talk07:10, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
I am assuming good faith with 172 here (who has been a sysop earlier), on his assurance that he would keep away from the article for 48 hours.

Comments: furthermore, User:Arrow740 has been revert warring onMuhammad's slaves (edit |talk |history |protect |delete |links |watch |logs |views), and often treats 3 reverts as an entitlement. also, the disruption is compounded by User:Arrow740 engaging in recent inappropriate trolling[214][215][216][217][218][219] (whilstadmitting such) and indulging in personal attacks[220].ITAQALLAH15:33, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

The trolling was inappropriate and after itaqallah pointed it out to me I kept my remarks topical. The "personal attack" is no such thing,User:Aminz has nominated articles about best-selling books for deletion. In any case an admin posted to my talk page about this already. I am in no way engaged in edit-warring onIslam (edit |talk |history |protect |delete |links |watch |logs |views) as you can see.Arrow74006:24, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
seeWP:3RR, "Reverting, in this context, means undoing, in whole or part, the actions of another editor or other editors.", which is what you did in all four instances above, almost immediately after they were instated. i request you take your comments out of the report and place them here (where "comments" belong), as it obfuscates the report. by the way, for the last revert: you didn't read my edit summary closely enough. i'm warring onMuhammad's slaves? two reversions on 9th Jan isn't much to go by..ITAQALLAH06:57, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Admin, make up your own mind about Itaqallah's edit and summary before my last edit. I have not edited Islam in some time. I did not know what was added when. I went through parts of the article looking for problems. I did the same thing withMuhammad (edit |talk |history |protect |delete |links |watch |logs |views) yesterday as a glance at the history will show. The latter article was in worse shape, probably becauseIslam was nominated for GA status recently and a lot of work was done on it.Arrow74007:09, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Aminzinserted a sentence and ref straight after you performed a reversion (13:52), and youremoved it promptly thereafter (14:07). that seems to be a conscious removal, especially as you know the passage wasn't in the sect beforehand for your other reverts. drawing attention to unrelated matters such as your edits onMuhammad or the GA nom for Islam is a red herring. i repeat my request: please take your comments out of the report and put them in the comments section.ITAQALLAH07:21, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Can you try to be more clear? They are not red herrings. If I am required by WP rules to move my responses to your accusations to the comments section then I will do so. We would all have been spared this trouble if you had given me a 3RR warning. I was not edit-warring.Arrow74007:32, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
look at the other reports on the page, the responses are given in the comments section. interjecting your comments in the initial report makes the report itself rather unclear. you are in no need of another 3rr warning, as you are fully aware of the policy and have been blocked for it before.ITAQALLAH07:37, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
It is quite clear! What is unclear about it? I guess it's not against the rules to respond as I did. I am aware of the rule, but was actually under the impression that the reverts must all be to the same version, which now know is not true. My point was that if you thought I had performed three reverts on that page you should have told me. Then I would have been clear on the rule and would not have performed any more reverts. But perhaps you wanted to get me blocked instead of insuring proper witiquette?Arrow74007:45, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
There would be no block as this happened more than 24 hours ago. I request both parties to assume good faith with each other. I will warn the defaulting user. —Nearly Headless Nick07:43, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

I didn't intentionally edit war, I simply removed their changes, which I felt were damaging, on the understanding that they were controversial enough to require explaining (at the same time explaining my own motivation - that the information was relevant). I also did not exceed the 3RR rule - I have made five reverts to the article in 24 hrs, it is true, but the first two were to the original text (prior to the changes); the next three were to the changes I instituted, which were a substantial rewrite which I hoped would satisfy both myself and the others. Secondly, another editor has now solved the issue in the short-term by intervening (some of my changes were retained, others were removed). Furthermore, the first revert in this round that I made (back to my rewrite) was because the editors had claimed their changes were 'minor': they were not, the editors knew that their changes would be controversial, and I therefore reverted, pointing out that such edits are not supposed to be claimed as 'minor'. I am now trying to discuss further changes, since at least one other relevant editor has expressed interest in doing so. Thirdly, I repeat, I have not violated the 3RR rule. I know that 3RR does not give me an automatic right to 3 reverts a day, but since I took care to explain myself, requested that the others discuss the issue (which was ignored), and since it now seems to be partially solved, I do not think blocking appropriate.Michaelsanders16:33, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

The strange thing, you reported a user for 3RR vio, when he didn't violate the policy, but you did. --Wildnox(talk)23:18, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
I realize that. The thing is is that the user "Butterrum" is a sockpuppet of another user; this so called "new" user is constantly making edits in the POV of the sock puppeteer. The page in question has experience a lot of warring in the past, and I did a great deal to resolve the issues that were warred over, but, because the sockpuppeteer doesn't agree with what is going on, he constantly changes it; I would have said something in the talk page, but that's just it: I alreadycleared this up. Because you somewhat warned me, I'll stop reverting, but I beg someone to do something about this issue.BishopTutu23:33, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Billywhack warned. ---J.S(T/C/WRE)19:35, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Why was I warned? According to you, it is impossible to list when somebody has an uncredited role unless it's a major media event. Unfortunately, a lot of uncredited roles go to actors on the way up, and are thus overlooked by the media. I'm not the only person to have noted this. All of my friends who watch South Park agree. Because they aren't into editing Wikipedia, I'm being persecuted? So to win this argument, all I need to do is to get them to make accounts and write that they agree with me? That seems awful shady. Xviper2k has posted a video he says wins his argument. The link takes me to Youtube to what appears to be the episode. I can't watch this video, but if it is the actual show, then my point is obviously reinforced. What is the recommendation of the admins on how to pursue this? Xviper2k acts like a child and responds to attempts to open a dialog by erasing my comments or just claiming he's right and reverting edits. It looks like whenever he doesn't agree with something somebody posts on theStacy Keibler page, he just reverts. If he won't be reasonable, how are we supposed to settle this? --Billywhack07:14, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Comments:

  • User:Alansohn (also another user) has been a persistent pest over the past few weeks, trying to insert irrelevant genealogical information into theJoyce Kilmer article. This caused a rather acrimonious debate on the article's talk page. Despite justifying the removal and continued omission of such information under wikipedia's policies (WP:NOT, WP:WINAD), he's continued to do this. Tonight, he decided to attempt to re-insert the genealogical information claiming there was a consensus (there is not), and when I removed it per those policies he wised up a bit and decided to insert information that is improperly cited by an unreliable source (find-a-grave.com) and which I removed, justified, byWP:RS andWP:V. The last edit, he has placed a reference to source, a book review by Kilmer, which, has nothing to do with the fact, and is a deliberate attempt to decieve people into thinking there is a connection and that the previous, unreliably cited, dubious statement was true. It's a false reference. I have tried to talk to him about this on the talk page, but he ignores it. Instead, he's devolved to trading insults and anything in an attempt to smear (attempting to paint me as a hypocrite with non-analogous situations).

I have been guilty, slightly of WP:CIVIL and to a lesser extent an occasional violation of WP:NPA, but I am so unable to keep my cool with this user.

Right now, he's sacrificing accuracy just to feed his ego, and right now, the timbre of his edits is "win at all cost" with a campaign that is so antithetical to Wikipedia, he has to be punished for this, and severely. —ExplorerCDT04:48, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Comment

The above are simple reverts — five in under an hour. Kendrick is trying to createAnti-Judaism as a fork ofReligious antisemitism. He keeps removing the redirect and pasting in his preferred version ofReligious antisemitism. He's been warned about 3RR several times and was blocked for it on December 30.[283]

Absurd; I am reverting vandalism which does not fall under this rule.Anti-Judaism was moved in the first place toReligious anti-Semitism without any consensus or even a move tag, so I agreed to split the topics, and have expandedAnti-Judaism from reliable sources considerably since then. All attempts at dialogue and requests for this to go thru normal channels (such as tags and waiting periods) have been ignored. --Kendrick7talk07:24, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
You're compounding the disruption by calling other people's edits "vandalism."SlimVirgin(talk)07:27, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
I agree that it was vandalism, and I think this report is innacurate. I don't believe Kendrick7 is trying to create a fork, but trying to preserve an article which is repeatedly being deleted without explanation. SlimVirgin appears to be angry, as she is currently on a spree of reverting my edits as well, along with personally attacking me in edit histories ([284][285][286][287]) following a disagreement with Kendrick and me on thereligious antisemitism page, in which she was also reverting without explanation. Truly, if anyone is blocked here, I think it should be SlimVirgin, and indeed I think this spree of hers does warrant a block, from the three above listed reverts on Folke Bernadotte without any explanation (and admittedly without even looking closely at the first two) and complete with baseless personal attacks.Mackan7907:51, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
If anything POV forks are "vandalism", and please don't try to unilaterally re-write policy to punish people with whom you have been in considerable conflict, while excusing people with whom you have allied.Jayjg(talk)02:59, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
As an outside observer I would strongly caution the blocking administrator to look into this supposed violation for himself before enforcing the 24h block as I would question the validity of any WP:3RR report filed by SV.KazakhPol07:54, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
You're hardly an "outside observer", you're an editor who has been in constant conflict with SlimVirgin.Jayjg(talk)02:59, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

This was a standard block for violatingWP:3RR. SlimVirgin originally moved the article to a better name, and Kendrick7 continued to undo the move to reinstatehis version, which has just continued with Mackan79 reinstating the version. And KazakhPol has recently been blocked due to edit warring with Slim Virgin as well. Kendrick7 can come back in 24 hours and edit constructively, which does not mean reverting the article, again.—Ryūlóng ()08:12, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Ah, he talks! Ryulong, incidentally, was the source of the series of unexplained deletions of the anti-Judaism page, for what it's worth, and should be blocked for his disruption as well. ([288][289][290])Mackan7908:25, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
I see three reverts by SlimVirgin –[291],[292],[293], which is completely inappropriate. I am not involved in the discussion, however I do not support an administrator reverting three times in a single day. Completely inappropriate behaviour by Ryulong, as well –[294],[295],[296], using scripts to revert other users. Use the anti-vandalism toolonly for the job they are authorised for. Your actions potray that you were trying to induce the other users into breachingWP:3RR and getting blocked. I disapprove the block and request that it be lifted; asit is unilateral. Usedispute resolution as a means instead of making multiple reverts on a single day. —Nearly Headless Nick13:05, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Please don't try to unilaterally re-write policy. If you want the rule to be the "2RR" rule, then get consensus for that change.Jayjg(talk)02:56, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
No, I am notunilaterally trying to re-write policy. As an arbitrator, you should have a good understanding of what constitutes "gaming the system". Also, per your comment below this, don't try to bring content-dispute into this conversation. This is about the five reverts Kendrick made, three + three reverts that SlimVirgin made on two articles and three reverts that Ryulong made using Javascript. Please do not assume that people around are ignorant beings. —Nearly Headless Nick11:16, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Actually, Ido have a good understanding of what constitutes "gaming the system". 4 revert in 24 hours and 2 minutes is "gaming the system"; two editors reverting someone who is trying to create a POV-fork, and who reverts 5 times to do so, is not "gaming the system". Nor, for that matter, are blocks of obvious 3RR violators in any way "unilateral", nor should you undo the blocks of other admins unless a very obvious error has been made, which, of course, wasn't the case. I don't assume people around are "ignorant beings", but I must say that you do not seem to be very familiar withWP:3RR.Jayjg(talk)16:26, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
I too disapprove of the block: if anything, the page should have just been fully protected. SlimVirgin and Ryulong both made three reverts, with Ryulong not even doing it manually, and it only appears to look like they were gaming the system. I don't want to unblock myself, but I believe Kendrick7 shouldn't have been the only one, if any at all to have been blocked. --Majorly13:29, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

This is completely out of order. Kendrick7 is a serious troublemaker, and has been since he arrived at Wikipedia. He has created a fork of an article, in an area he clearly has no knowledge of, and continues to revert other editors' attempts to restore the redirect template, calling their edits "vandalism," which compounds the 3RR violation. He has elsewhere teamed up with other editors, including one long-term banned antisemite, to disrupt pages related to Judaism, Jews, and Israel. Nick, you had no call to unblock and to accuse others of editing disruptively. I request that the remainder of Kendrick7's block be restored.SlimVirgin(talk)02:05, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
We don't need to escalate this to a wheel war, but I support the restoring of the block.≈ jossi ≈(talk)02:10, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
SlimVirgin's reading of this situation doesn't strike me as entirely accurate. It might be more appropriate to say that Kendrick7 is a frequent opponent of SlimVirgin in content disputes, and has been for several months. What SlimVirgin describes as "disruption" may be more accurately characterized as "disagreement". Moreover, the long-term banned antisemite edited theAllegations of Israeli Apartheid for several weeks under a sockpuppet pseudonym ("Kiyosaki"), and didn't make his bigotry known until theend of the period, at which point he was recognized and promptly banned. Kendrick7 should obviously not held be held responsible for that user's actions.
I'm not going to comment on the specifics of this 3RR request, but I suspect this may be a content dispute miscast as a policy violation.CJCurrie02:37, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Acontent dispute miscast as a policy violation? Are you saying that it'snot a policy violation? Do you mean that hedidn't revert five times, or do you mean that policy allows you to revert five times as long as it's a content dispute? I'm puzzled.MusicalLinguist21:40, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Not so about Kiyosaki, as you've been told before. He was long known to be a bigot, but it took us a few weeks to work out which banned editor he was, and he was blocked as soon as we found the evidence — not when he, as you say, "made the bigotry known," which was several weeks before the block.SlimVirgin(talk)02:41, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
As long as we're discussing this point, I've asked youseveral times to provide evidence that Kiyosaki's bigotry was always manifest, and you haven't done so. I'm still waiting.CJCurrie02:44, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
SV's description of events appears perfectly accurate to me. Whether Kendrick7 is a frequent opponent of SV is beside the point; Kendrick7 violated 3RR, pure and simple. That being the case, I'm reinstating the block. The reporting party's motives are a non sequitur here.FeloniousMonk02:47, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Exactly. 3RR is about 3RR, which Kendick7 knowingly and willingly violated. The fact that he used the pretext that re-directing hisPOV fork article to the main article was "vandalism" is neither here nor there. Nor, for that matter, is the piling on of various other editors with a grudge, discussing unrelated matters. 5RR violators should be blocked, and those blocks should not be undone, period.Jayjg(talk)02:54, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
This is a fairly clear violation of the 3RR. That said, the other users involved hardly behaved admirably. There is no 2RR, but that can't be read to mean that editors are entitled to revert three times per day. Respected admins especially should know that all revert warring is inappropriate, and that some attempt should have been made to discuss the issue. -SimonP05:31, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Simon, please inform yourself fully about Kendrick's behavior before commenting. He's been editing disruptively for a long time around anything to do with Jews, Judaism, or Israel. CJCurrie supports him because CJC never misses a chance to get a dig in, and I'm very surprised at you responding to his call for help, as you did with Homey when he was causing trouble.SlimVirgin(talk)06:23, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Response: (i) SlimVirgin may be interested to know that I haven't actively supported Kendrick7 in this matter (I'm not going to comment on the specifics of this 3RR request, but I suspect this may be a content dispute miscast as a policy violation.), and that I've madeabsolutely no comment whatsoever on the specific dispute at hand, (ii) I'm neither impressed nor amused by SlimVirgin's less-than-subtle insinuation that I'm compulsively driven to "disrupt" certain pages, (iii) I'm equally unimpressed with Slim's blanket condemnation of disagreement (here and elsewhere) as "editing disruptively" and "causing trouble", (iv) I find it odd that SlimVirgin hasn't acknowledged any criticism of her own behaviour.CJCurrie16:29, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm also not impressed withthis comment on my talk page. I've been witness to several disputes concerning SlimVirgin and Kendrick7, and Ionly intervened because I disagreed with SlimVirgin's summarization of a dispute that I was peripherally involved in.CJCurrie16:40, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Look, Slim. This is not looking good in anyway. The block was unilateral, and so I unblocked. Another uninvolved administrator agreed with me, in that context. Tawker did not raise any objections. If Simon is somebody's friend, so is Jayjg, and he cannot be called an uninvolved party. In no way the block would have helped.I protected the article before unblocking. How can you think a block would have helped? You were revert-warring on two articles on a single day, and left off at three edits each. That falls within the purview ofgaming the system. I am not going to take this toWP:ANI, but if there is something I have learnt from my past, blocks don't help solve problems, especially when they look unilateral, just like this one. I suppose this is ripe time for going toWP:ANI? I have replied to your comments on my talk page. Regards, —Nearly Headless Nick11:11, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Since there are disagreements over the block & the article is now protected, it is reasonable to lift the block. --Aminz11:37, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
As another uninvolved admin, I was asked by Nicholas for my input on IRC, so I thought I'd chip in here as well. I really disagree with the controversy over this block. It was a very straightforward violation of the three-revert rule, and should have been left to stand. There is no such thing as a "unilateral" 3RR block - while there is, as with any other decision on Wikipedia, leeway, there is absolutely no need to sit down and gain consensus for a 3RR block, nor I haveever seen this argued anywhere else. I also strongly object to Nicholas' characterisation of SlimVirgin's reverts as gaming. These fairly standard reverts were warranted, and were rightfully backed up by other editors; "gaming", on the other hand, is the sort of behaviour where one waits until 24 hours and 10 minutes have passed and begins the behaviour again. As I said to Nicholas privately, it is ridiculous to be preaching about how one should handle disputes when you've never actually edited controversial articles yourself.Rebecca11:47, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Slim says of Kendrick that"He has elsewhere teamed up with other editors, including one long-term banned antisemite, to disrupt pages related to Judaism, Jews, and Israel." CJ rightly points out that "Kiyosaki"'s bigotry became known after the period in which he and Kendrick concurred on several edits. Bad-faith innuendos about antisemitism, as well as spurious guilt-by-association smears, unfortunately typify SlimVirgin's handling of content disputes with other editors.--G-Dett18:59, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

That's a blatant personal attack. I'd reconsider your method here were I you.FeloniousMonk19:07, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Felonious, would you consider this to be a personal attack: "CJCurrie supports him because CJC never misses a chance to get a dig in,"?CJCurrie19:44, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Felonious, I'd reconsider your reasoning. Unwarranted innuendos about antisemitism (and even other, less noxious speculations about the inner lives of other editors) constitute personal attacks. Guilt-by-association ruses of the sort SlimVirgin trades in[300][301][302][303]combinepersonal attack withlogical fallacy. Identifying persistent abuses/sophistries of this sort, on the other hand, doesnot constitute a personal attack. The identification may be accurate, inaccurate, debatable, specious, etc., but it isn't a personal attack. If you think what I've pointed to is debatable, please debate it. As for reconsidering my method, I know of no way of dealing withad hominem sophistries such as these other than identifying and confronting them; but I am, as always, open to suggestions.--G-Dett20:30, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Although I feel that this should really be archived to prevent clogging up of this page with any more pointless squabbling, I want to say that I fully endorse Rebecca's remarks. I don't often block for 3RR, but I do follow this page a lot (and have done from before I was an admin), and this is a perfectly routine block. I'm not sure if Nick's use of "unilateral" refers to the fact that Tawker decided all by himself to implement the block, or that only the person who reverted five times in an hour got blocked, while those who reverted three times or under in 24 hours did not. If the former, it's a bizarre interpretation. The 3RR policy exists through community consensus. Individual applications of it in very straightforward cases do not need consensus. If Nick is referring to the fact that only Kendrick was affected by the block, then I'd point out that only he made that blatant violation, not only making five reverts in less than an hour but also calling edits he disagreed with "vandalism". And he had been blocked before, so he knew the rule. I can't understand why this thread has turned into a forum for criticizing those who did revert, but who neither blatantly violated the rules nor "gamed the system" by waiting one minute after the 24 hours. If the rule says, don't revert four times, you don't unblock someone who knowingly reverted five times on the grounds that someone else reverted three times!MusicalLinguist21:40, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello. Elsanaturk reported me for a 3rr violation which I did not commit, and I thank you for noticing that. As far as that article goes, he was removing sourced information which he did not like, and he made it very clear that he didnt like the information, and thus violated Wikipedia's policy of NPOV (he has also done this on other articles as well). I told him about the rule but he continued. Also, I updated the Mahmud Rasulzadeh article for him, becuase he was removing sourced information and added other information in an effort to cover it up. So anyway, I added his contributions while leaving the sourced information in there, hopefully he will stop his POV push and that this is a good enough compromise.My last edit is not a revert, its an attempt at a compromise.Azerbaijani18:22, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

User has history of vandalism as well, although this is not a pure vandal-only account; there have been a fair number of constructive edits.John Broughton |20:10, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

User:Amoruso reported byUser:jd2718 (Result: Warned)

Three-revert rule violation onFolke Bernadotte (edit |talk |history |protect |delete |links |watch |logs |views).Amoruso (talk ·contribs ·deleted contribs ·logs ·filter log ·block user ·block log):http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/3RR&action=edit

Comments:User:Amoruso has over 10,000 edits and has experience on this board. No warning was necessary. Worse, while he has not technically violated 3RR, he is taking 3 reverts every 24 hours, clearly in violation of the spirit of WP:3RR. Amoruso has also been editing the talk page, but generally puts up comments that indicate he has a personal strongly held belief[306][307] or simply that everyone else is wrong and he intends to revert[308]. I would argue that intentional gaming by an experienced user is far more serious than the clumsy mistake of a newbie.

Further, there is adequate opportunity to talk. After her 3rd revert in an hour and a half (!) (I won't put in the diffs since they are part of a long argument above)user:SlimVirgin realized that the edit-warring was a problem and tried to cool things down. She intitiated a focused discussion[309] which several editors have participated in. Unfortunately, Amoruso's sole contribution has been limited to an accusation of slander and an indication that he was reverting yet again (which he did)[310].Jd271815:14, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Looks like a muli-side edit war to me. More likely to end up protected...William M. Connolley16:09, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Perhaps you are correct. But with one side discussing, and one side not?Jd271816:20, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
One side is not discussing - you have been "guilty" of many reverts on this page[311][312][313][314][315]. I find your behaviour strange. It does not look well on you. You seem not to have acted in good faith here and you may deserve a ban or at least a warning for this report IMO - that's for an administrator to decide but I'm bothered that a user reports false reports to fool the system. As for myself, I was clearly using the talk page to explain and it was in fact Jd2718 and another user who were reverting without any discussion. While I was being both polite and contributing to the page, Jd2718 is only a recent "contributor" to the page who is only reverting and not involved in genuine discussion despite his claims which are clearly not based on reality. I didn't break any 3RR nor game the system,the report is faulty. It's especially disturbing to see false allegations like "reverting 3 timesevery 24 Hours" as if I've been reverting for the past week, much like he did. His own examples refute his false allegations. Cheers,Amoruso16:34, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
The article wasjust unprotected. And everyone seems to have made three reverts in 24 hours, which is not constructive. I'll warn all around and block if anyone continues, 3RR or not.Dmcdevit·t17:02, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Such attachment to a former version seems a bit odd in the light of the user's history - may be a sockpuppet ofUser:Hardouin.

Practically certain: see comment of last revertby always deleting the informations about La defense for exemple - "always" ? Anyhow, not true, asLa Défense is very prominent throughout the article.THEPROMENADER22:50, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
At present, certain that this is a sockpuppet ofHardouin. Typical two-step revert typical of someone copying from an "original" text - quite typical of aforementioned user. Repeat offender: will revert until "his" version is back in place.THEPROMENADER00:17, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Six reverts by the user within eight hours. Are there any Admins watching this page at all? --Bob07:07, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

FunkyFly and NikoSilver were vandalizing my userpage by removing images, and adding false licenses to my self made images that I have uploaded here to Wikipedia.Macedonia02:16, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

You werewarned by an administrator to remove the images, and youremoved the warning. The administrator then himselfremoved the images in question. The image licence which you gave areuntrue.  /FunkyFly.talk_ 02:21, 16 January 2007 (UTC)


FunkyFly also violated the rule while adding false copyright licencses to my images:

Not true. The first edit is not a revert. It is only User:Macedonia who has broken 3RR on that page.  /FunkyFly.talk_ 02:25, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Blocked for 4d as repeat 3RR offender, for uploading the image with a false pd-self claim and edit-warring over it. Niko and Funky, I would have preferred it if this could have been done without the added drama of revert-warring over his userpage, you could have just left it to me and not escalate it like this.Fut.Perf.07:15, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Comments: Rjensen has made several other edits to the article which were partial revisions, but instead of responding tomy comment on the talk page, he continued to revert. He has also engaged in an edit war overConservatism in the United States, seeUser_talk:Rjensen#Conservatism_in_the_United_States. --Cielomobiletalk /contribs01:48, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

No I don't think so. I have been adding new material not changing the edits of other editors. Note that the original article was moved, with a new title that called for new material. The rules clearly say that the 3R rule is not additive across articles. I discussed this naming problem at length on the talk page --the new name requires a deep rewrite--but Cielomobile ignored all that, There was also a fraudulent move of theAmerican conservatism article without any poll or discussion, which I reported and complained about and asked for help in the matter.Rjensen02:04, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Note that alleged revert #4 was not a revert at all--i added new material and did not revert any editor. Note that #3 and #4 are from DIFFERENT ARTICLES from #1 and #2, and the 3R rule is explictly not additive across articles.Rjensen02:26, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

??? 3&4 *are* from the same article. Based on "classical liberal" you've both broken 3RR so both get 24hWilliam M. Connolley09:42, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may beblocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that thethree-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked foredit warring, even if they do not technically violate thethree-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you.— Precedingunsigned comment added byBenisek (talkcontribs)

Hi, it looks like you disagreed with my edits to Tony Martin. Rather than reverting edits with references, and attempts to make the article more neutral in tone, you might consider discussion on the talk page of the article. However, wholesale reversions such as the ones you have made are unlikely to stand without some justification. Thanks,Kaisershatner16:24, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
