[edit] User:Scribner reported by User:Starcare (Result: 24h)

Three revert rule violation on Shock and awe (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs). Scribner (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log):

Time report made: 07:04, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments: Scribner is aware of 3rr rule -- edit summary: "rv to Scribner warning, 3rr" -- but apparently wasn't keeping track of his number of reverts. Starcare 08:07, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

ADMINISTRATION Look closely at this one. Only two of these are a revert! All of the rest are a request for cites. Manual requests which were reverted. Please ban Starcare if he is in violation as I suspect he his...I don't have time to dig trough the mess. WP:RS --Scribner 07:45, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

All of them are "undoing the work of another editor" -- mostly by commenting text out, but that is still undoing. They are not simply requests for citations. If Scribner had wanted to request citations, he would have added {{citation needed}} instead of removing text from the displayed article. Starcare 08:07, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

HEADS UP! I agree, and am reverting it again, with the "by another name" change he suggested. Publicola 06:41, 3 August 2006 (UTC) From Starcare's talk page. [[1]]

This is silly. "by another name" is part of a compromise proposal which Christopher Parham suggested. Something like "To Arabs, shock and awe is terrorism by another name" as an more closely source-supported alternative to "To Arabs, shock and awe is equivalent to terrorism." Starcare 08:07, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

ADMIN READ THIS: I agree, and am reverting it again, with the "by another name" change he suggested. Publicola 06:41, 3 August 2006 (UTC) This is a clear intent to revert "by another name" as quoted. You guys need to look at this.--Scribner 08:16, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

As one who was being reverted by Scribner, I would like to ask the admin evaluating this report to consider these personal attacks[2][3] when deciding on the length of the block. Publicola 08:31, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

And then he promptly removed the {{Npa3-n}} warning from his talk page. Publicola 08:39, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Defintely look at the fact that Publicola said that he would revert, "by another name" and also made a antiemtic reference toward me, which he cited above. ADMIN, if you want to get to the truth check the article.
Yet more: From the talk page: That is, by the way, exactly the phrasing you deleted five times. Publicola 09:00, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Per WP:RS, I tagged the article and hid the sections in violation, per policy. Check the talk page. I and other editors requested cites.--Scribner 09:13, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Publicola says he gets a lot of complaints by Jews. Maybe you guys should look into why, I'm not Jewish. These guys are gaming the system, pathetic.--Scribner 09:48, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Notes: This is a complex incident, and I already reported it to WP:AIV [5] While these may not all be regarded as identical reverts, the effect of the edits has been to reinsert the user's unreferenced and undiscussed views, to the great detriment of the article.

This is a complex issue with a user refusing to axcept information given contrary to his opinion and with a history of using reverts to disrupt progress on the issue. Inge 12:21, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

  • No 3RR (31 July?), no action. El_C 12:55, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Yes I realise that, but this user has been using the revert tactic on this and other articles for too long. He has apparently finally learned to technically avoid the 3RR, but the problems he is causing remains. Inge 02:04, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Inge should get a punishment for this fake accuse on me. This is a part of Inge attacking tactic against me to camouflage Inge unsources and pro-Norwegian edits on history pages. Now on Normans. You should think the case here on wikipedia was very simple, that you just need citing sources before edit pages. But not for Inge. All i do is revert unsources rewrite back to old version. --Comanche cph 07:43, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Three revert rule violation on Bubble_hash (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs). JR_Pietri (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log):

  • Previous version reverted to: Cannot be filled. They are not straight reverts, rather edits that result in reverting to a version that is spam filled and suited to promote their product. This is the best I could come up with, but the following reverts are far worse.

  • 2nd revert: 19:02, 2 August 2006
  • 3rd revert: 20:13, 2 August 2006

  • 6th revert: 00:43, 3 August 2006
  • 7th revert: 01:24, 3 August 2006
    • Note that these reverts occur as part of blatant spamming of the page by that user. He reverts versions that provide good background material on what Bubble hash is to those that promote his companies new extraction method (complete with patent number). He has been warned about spam several times, vandalism more than once and of course 3RR.

Comments:

  • The first one isn't a revert, although the other three are. No violation. Stifle (talk) 21:04, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
  • You're mistaken, the 1st one is a revert, it removed the word "creationist" 14:58, 2 August just as the version being reverted to did: 19:34, 29 July. That makes 4, and a violation. FeloniousMonk 21:19, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
  • The hell it isn't a revert -- same section of the article, same overall purpose. Which part of the following does Schlafly's edits not violate? "Reverting, in this context, means undoing the actions of another editor or other editors in whole or part. It does not necessarily mean taking a previous version from history and editing that. A revert may involve as little as adding or deleting a few words or even one word. Even if you are making other changes at the same time, continually undoing other editors' work counts as reverting." •Jim62sch• 21:55, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Stifle, could you say why you feel the first edit isn't a revert? I was about to issue a block before I saw your comment, because it looks like a clear violation to me. SlimVirgin (talk) 21:57, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments: Many warnings and some blocks listed in his user page. Also, I don't know what "* Previous version reverted to:" is and examples here doesn't seem to help me. If someone could dumb it down a little for me on my talk page that would be nice ;)

  • "Previous version reverted to" is simply the old version of the page which, after the reverts were made, was reinstated. Adding a fifth revert instead means that it isn't strictly needed. Stifle (talk) 21:10, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments: After a compromise was earlier reached on this subject here, User:Lowg continues to insist on making a change that I (and others) contend is inaccurate. In addition to my warning, the user is clearly aware of the 3RR as he has been blocked before. - Pal 02:38, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

This was not a violation of the 3RR as the reverts are different from one another. And the changes are not subtle. One change is a full paragraph. Also, if you wish to report him again, please use diffs. What you used here are not diffs but instead are what the page looked like at that particular time. For example, for 02:31, this is the diff. And one final thing. Please use the time as we use it, not a conversion to your local time. It makes it much easier for us to track. --Woohookitty(meow) 10:15, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Note the above editor engaged in the same pattern of repeat revisions on this page engaging in the same type of personal attack and innuendo. There appears to be a group of editors with the same p.o.v. working together here.59.14.200.242 15:38, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
I have reverted the open proxy edits to the anti-masonry page for a fourth and fifth time today and am calling attention to Wikipedia:3rr#Exceptions, expecially "Reverting banned or blocked users." There is no doubt in my mind and other frequent editors have shared this opinion that the open proxy assualt is from Lightbringer. He has used open proxies in the past. He frequently uses misleading edit summaries. This edits are carbon copies of ones he's attempted before. He has also accused that this "page is about anti-masonry not conspiracy theory" on several occasions. There is currently a request to lock the page being processed at Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection. Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Lightbringer has further proof of Lightbringer using open proxies.
Furthermore, I have never been "3rr and found guilty of violating Wikipedia guidelines regarding personal attacks on previous occasions" Check my block log at [[14]], this is a flat out lie in an attempt to discredit me. Another common tactic of Lightbringer. Chtirrell 15:26, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
This user has a lengthy pattern of multiple 3rr and personal attack violations under multiple user names. It is STRONGLY suspected that this individual is the sock of a banned user as he exhibits exactly the same edit patterns including making false allegations, personal attacks, flaunting Wikipedia guidelines, and trying to bully and even impersonate administrators.59.14.200.242 15:33, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

  • FeloniousMonk knows the 3RR very well and uses it against editors who try to counter his POV pushing.
  • This doesn't look like a valid report. The link given as the version reverted to isn't a Wikipedia page, and then only three edits are cited. SlimVirgin (talk) 21:13, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
    • I've corrected the links, and the three edits are part of a pattern of edit warring in which FM refuses to let permit edits by anyone outside a small group of like-minded contributors. --Uncle Ed 16:16, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
Regardless of his other behavior, he only made three reverts and thus did not violate the 3RR.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 17:46, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments: This is more removal of unfree images. Editors reverting unfree image cleanup attempts need to stop. Jkelly 03:55, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

I think the point is the reversions need to stop. Because it seems like this is fitting the definition of an edit war. Discussion is on going and without consensus on the policy interpretations these pages are being reverted. BCV 04:04, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

The options here are to lock the page, block the editors in violation of unlicensed image policy, or to continuously apply cleanup efforts. What do you recommend? Jkelly 04:08, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
Not to be combative but I do not subscribe to the interpretation that use of the logos violates the policy although this may not be the forum for that discussion. BCV 04:12, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
We need to not be further republishing these images until the policy matter is settled. No block. Jkelly 04:15, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
Curious how quick that decision was made. Given the involvement in [Mediation Case: Fair Use Images on Sports Page - College Football Specific] BCV 04:27, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
If you read the page, you'll notice that I was listed there to provide an opposing view, not because I've ever edited one these college football articles that the cleanup attempt is being applied to. Jkelly 04:32, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
Actually I was thinking someone not involved in the case would provide an object view on whether a violation had occurred but since that is not possible obviously a violation did not occur. BCV 04:40, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments: i'm just trying to put a lid on this guy who insists on rewriting the whole article (which should be allowed to stableize lest "edit creep" move it from a reasonably good article to something much different. he's been at it for weeks. he's making wholesale changes without listening to the reservations of others. it's about time he play by the rules and i warned him about 3RR just before his last revert.

If you read the talk, you'll see that I am seeking incremental improvements to a long wordy section that Rbj wrote, and rather than discuss it with me he reverts, goes a different direction, and calls me a dumptruck. Dicklyon 05:53, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Doesn't look like 4R to me... as is traditional, you haven't filled in the "prev version" William M. Connolley 08:19, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

i itemized them. i never understood exactly what "prev version" is. you would think that this would be a stable article, being a fairly dry technical article, but the version changes so often, dozens of changes per day, that i actually would not be able to tell you what the "base version" is. r b-j 16:06, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
It's unlikely that the article will reach a stable version when it is still full of both not-quite-right and not-quite-logical attempts to be semi-rigorous. That's why we're working on it. If you continue to vigorously defend your big bloated section against improvements, that doesn't make it stable. And if you continue to ignore my pleas to engage in discussion, on the article talk page and your own talk page, we're not likely to find an easy way forward. Dicklyon 17:40, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
the issue here is whether or not you reverted my changes to the article more often than 3 times in a 24 hour period. content discussion is on the talk page. r b-j 20:54, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
I do hereby confess to that crime, and I apologize and won't let it happen again. I've since added lots more discussion on the talk page, and still see no responses from you there or elsewhere. Dicklyon 22:45, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Ed Poor reported by self (Result: recommended 24h by self)

I'm just checking to make sure I didn't violate 3RR at Politicization of science.

I was making one continuous series of edits to the Examples sections about eugenics, based on Crichton's published views. Two or 3 times while making these consecutive edits I was reverted by Duncharris (2x) and Kenosis (1x).

I went ahead and finished the edit series (which I consider to be "one"), noting in the Edit Summary that I would self-revert afterwards so as not to run afoul of 3RR and offering to discuss the matter in talk.

I figured that in order to have anything to discuss, it would be good to finish the edit (which included source for a POV about Crichton). Indeed, Kenosis copied the removed text to talk, with a comment (which I answered).

So I don't think this was an edit war. --Uncle Ed 17:47, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

LOL, how do get to the point of possibly violating 3RR if you're not edit warring. I encourage everyone to take a look at Ed Poor's edit history to see any number of examples of edit warring and POV pushing at a number of articles. [32] 128.64.146.21

Relevant policy:

  • "For instance, consecutive edits by the same editor are considered to be one."

Was this a violation on my part? If so, would you please guide me so I can make sure I don't repeat it? I don't want to edit war about this. I'd prefer to talk it out on the discussion page and come to consensus. --Uncle Ed 17:18, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Ed, you were an admin and bureaucrat, how can you possibly not know the answer to this question? I must admit that this is one of the more interesting tactics I've seen..."Your Honor, you mean going through a stop sign is illegal? I thought you could go through the ones with white around the edges." •Jim62sch• 21:59, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

12h. I don't think the BLP get-out-of-jail-free card applies William M. Connolley 19:15, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

I never was in jail, and never needed such a card. Here is the policy William M. Connolley refused to abide by:
WP:BLP states:
Editors should remove any unsourced or poorly sourced negative material from biographies of living persons and their talk pages, and may do so without discussion; this is also listed as an exception to the three-revert rule. This principle also applies to biographical material about living persons found anywhere in Wikipedia. Administrators may enforce the removal of unsourced material with page protection and blocks, even if they have been editing the article themselves. Editors who re-insert the material may be warned and blocked. See the blocking policy and Wikipedia:Libel.
Administrators encountering biographies that are unsourced and negative in tone, where there is no NPOV version to revert to, should delete the article without discussion (see WP:CSD criterion A6).
Jimmy Wales has said:
"I can NOT emphasize this enough. There seems to be a terrible bias among some editors that some sort of random speculative 'I heard it somewhere' pseudo information is to be tagged with a 'needs a cite' tag. Wrong. It should be removed, aggressively, unless it can be sourced. This is true of all information, but it is particularly true of negative information about living persons." 1
He considers "no" information to be better than "speculative" information and reemphasizes the need for sensitivity:
"Real people are involved, and they can be hurt by your words. We are not tabloid journalism, we are an encyclopedia." 2
Have a good night. --HResearcher 08:13, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Please note that there must be 4 reverts listed - reports with only 3 will be removed. The "previous version reverted to" is there to show that the first revert really is a revert - it should be filled in to a previous version of the page which the first revert reverts to.

Comments: User repeatedly inserts poorly worded, unencyclopedic, and disparaging "criticism" section out of apparent (as stated on talk page and numerous project pages) animosity towards biography subject. Also semi-vandalizes other section to contain rambling digressions, and plays shennanigans with NPOV and other spurious and unexplained tags. But the wild reverting to the "criticism" rejected by all other editors is the main thing.

Absolute nonsense. You and your buddy have pushed your political views with a vengeance. This is not what Wiki is for. You accept no compromise, but go about degrading Nations which you are not from. When others state Germany or India are not paradise, it is a "personal attack". Well what you all have said about other Nations is the same, so report yourselves if you are honest. You and Nobleeagle consistently revert any changes you do not agree with. "Vicious attacks"? Give me a frakin break. You are hyper-sensitive and making such reports just wastes admin times. Wiki is not here for YOUR personal soapbox and when others disagree you run to the "police". That is flat out unethical. You also have to play by the rules. 71.106.195.5 08:05, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments: This pattern goes on for FOUR more reverts within an hour's time prior to the 4th revert back that I've included here. Multiple editors have reverted this same IP, and other subnet IPs prior to this one within the past 24 hours suggesting it is the same user. Instead of seeking consensus, this editor chooses to force a revert war upon the article over the issue. Their tit-for-tat above is only because at this point, this user's editors are being considered vandalism (as they are ignoring the consensus) and those reverts do not fall under 3RR. No 3RR warning was given, since the user knows about 3RR having tried to use the system against 2 other editors directly above.

Oh, they were certainly all me. Listen, you are taking sides here, this is clear -- and utterly unfair. I have seeked consensus and others including me have tried to reason with these two. Why their actions are golden, and others are evil, that is quite perplexing. If you follow the discussions they simply hold their line. Is this how Wiki is run now? Who ever can push for their political beliefs hard enough wins? I said multiple times, include all G7 nations. These are the most wealthy seven industrialized nations on Earth. But, no. They slander Italy, but when the tables are turned, they run and say "personal attack". Watch who you back up, you may eventually regret it. 71.106.195.5 08:12, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments: The "Previous version reverted to" field above includes the substantive text that was reverted to; minor formatting edits to a picture's placement in the article were made between that version and the first revert. However, the action was essentially a revert since it served to replace text that had been removed per discussion on the article's talk page.

Time report made: 21:56, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments: User claimed correctly that I violated 3RR rule, thus I was blocked. User him/herself, as evidence here shows, violated 3RR rule as well. He/she did not fix "obvious vandalism" as the requirements for exceptions to the 3RR in that section state, he/she participated in an edit war destroying my work for no solid Wikipedia reason, he/she did not supply a solid Wikipedia reason but instead a reason buffeted only by vague claims on the talk page. Therefore, in the absence of the satisfaction of the obvious vandalism exception, and this wasn't vandalism at all, just a more extensive explanation of a valid criticism, the 3RR was broken, and no other exceptions qualifies. -Kmaguir1 21:56, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Firstly, the last three diffs look like attempts at a compromise compared to the first one (which removed the paragraph in question completely); secondly, you didn't inform Lulu of the 3RR, so she could have violated it unwittingly. That said, she shouldn't really be using popups to revert during content disputes. Extraordinary Machine 22:28, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
On the first matter: it wasn't a compromise, because in the history of the page, both versions had been offered and edited by me, and so both, the deletion as reversion, and the three abbreviated sections as reversion, qualify as four reverts from the longer version within a 24 hours period. Secondly, he/she informed ME of the 3RR, and I was blocked arbitrarily without another edit (except adding a NPOV tag)--so while I was warned and then blocked not given a chance to heed the warning, he/she can't use the "no-warning" as a defense, as he/she is the one who warned me about the matter--not that it made much difference to the administrator who blocked me that I had only been warned, and not edited (except the NPOV tag) after the warning. -Kmaguir1 22:33, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments: I have tried to engage this user in dialogue on multiple occasions, and I constantly feel stymied. His edit summary notwithstanding, he has reverted (full or partial) multiple times to a version which does not treat Israelis and Palestinians equally. He had been warned, and had been blocked for 3RR before, so he is cognizant of the policy. I am not blocking him myself as I believe that is improper as I have been involved in this spate of reverts, although his violation is rather clear. Thank you. -- Avi 17:35, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

  • All edits were removing simple vandalism (inserting copyrighted material). The entire section is copyrighted from the website quoted above as well as [78].

    Some of the material is copyrighted, but not all. (Example: The paragraph beginning "The Ajlaf...") However, as BhaiSaab was making a good faith effort to remove copyrighted material, I will not block this time, but another revert would be considered negatively. Stifle (talk) 21:39, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
    Actually that sentence "The Ajlaf on the other hand are the Indian converts..." is in [79]. The other parts of the same paragraph are from [80].Thank you for not blocking. BhaiSaab talk 21:46, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
  • I think that all of the text was copyrighted; all of the text is a subset of the plagiarised text, (some sentences are omitted or truncated), and I think you two guys should stop accusing each other of vandalism, as it brings neither of you credit -quite clearly there is no vandalism by either parties.

Not clear why 1st rv is rv William M. Connolley 07:53, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Because he changed "English" to "British", and then did the same on 3 further occasions. This is a rather obtuse campaign being conducted by Cornish nationalists (see Constitutional status of Cornwall), who are, throughout the entire Wikipedia project, trying to remove all references to Cornwall being a county of England. (They want it to have the status of a constituent country.) Whatever the merits of their campaign (and I for one am sympathetic), Wikipedia must stick to facts, and however much they hate it, Cornwall is a part of England. Whatever the merits of the arguments on either side, breach of 3RR is not going to improve the situation. --Mais oui! 09:36, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
That does not answer the question. To revert a page is to undo the actions of another editor. If nobody had ever changed "British" to "English" on the page before, then changing "English" to "British" was not a revert. To violate the three-revert rule requires four reverts. Ergo, if the first reported diff was not a revert, there has been no violation. Stifle (talk) 10:30, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Given the situation, I have carefully scrutinized the report. Now, if an edit is a revert to a previous version, the diff between the two versions will show nothing (or almost nothing), at least in the section concerned. Here are the diffs between the "previous version reverted to" and each of the reverts:
    1. [96]
    2. [97]
    3. [98]

My bad if the diffs are the wrong ones, I was just showing how he has consisently returned the page to the same language even after edits have been made in the pages, anway i think they and Pechers arrival here and on requesting page protection elsewhere after left him a message on the Aisha talk page demonstrate a tacit acceptance of a 3RR violation.--Tigeroo 14:43, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

A comment on this noticeboard is a rather weird evidence in favor of acceptance of a non-existing violation.

I disagree the proper way to do this is to talk, and I have opened this debate on more than one page, you are absent addressing the issue except on RV description lines. There is no advantage in a temporary block, its not a ban, it's call to get people who wont sit down to do so instead of sticking fixedly to a position.

Comments: I gave this user the 3RR boilerplate on his 4th revert and warned him that i would report him if he was to make annother revert in under 24 hours.

However he did not heed to the warning and just called the changes made vandalism, and reverted again. Thus i am forced to report the users actions. Matthew Fenton (Talk | Contribs) 18:11, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

This is a ridiculous Wikilawyering invocation of 3RR. As has been pointed out to this user (MatthewFenton), the reverts in question (SergeantBolt's, but also by others, including myself) were to enforce repeated insertion of uncited and unverifiable content by multiple anon editors, over a period of weeks. Note that the page in question has now (thank goodness) been protected by an admin, to prevent the constant reinsertion that SergeantBolt and I were combatting through our reverts. This user's inclination towards slavish adherence to a policy, and failure to recognize what is truly going on in a given situation, has been discussed at length by numerous editors in an RfC (Wikipedia:Requests for comment/MatthewFenton). This 3RR report by MatthewFenton is but the latest example of this extreme and disruptive behavior. -- PKtm 19:33, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
If you look at the history you will ntice a user tried to cite the source however was reverted. Also what is wrong about adhearing to policy? Are you telling me i'm not supposed to adhear to policy?
Also i think you need to stop going on about "wikilawyering" i have not taken any exams to become a solictor or work in law nor am i old enough to enter into such a proffesion in law. Matthew Fenton (Talk | Contribs) 19:38, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Also, You call these edits vandalism yet the opening paragraphs of Wikipedia:Vandalism make it blatently obvious that these edits are in fact not vandalism and the ones causing disruption are your selfs.

Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism. Apparent bad-faith edits that do not make their bad-faith nature inarguably explicit are not considered vandalism at Wikipedia. For example, adding a personal opinion once is not vandalism — it's just not helpful, and should be removed or restated.

Now if it was classed as simple vandlism then 3RR would not apply, however this is not the case and 3RR does apply, i did warn the user and i did make my intentions pretty clear that i did not wish to have to report him!

  1. Using formal legal terms inappropriately regarding Wikipedia policy.
  2. Asserting that technical interpretation of Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines should override the principles they express.
  3. Hiding behind misinterpretations of policy to justify inappropriate edits.

And according to the ADMINISTRATOR that PROTECTED the article due to VANDALISM, it is 'the case'. SergeantBolt 19:46, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I think you need to calm down and stop talking in caps, now i am not trying to justify any edits so i dont have a clue what you are talking about, furthermore i do not see a policy/guideline sticker on that page.

The "source" that was cited is a fan rumor site (spoilerfix.com), and therefore not acceptable by WP standards of verifiability. This was pointed out to Matthew.

Unless both myself and User:Banzai! are wrong this individual could do for a warning (a block should be the last step imho). (→Netscott) 22:06, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Netscott. See Talk:Steve Jobs#Analysis_of_Steve.27s_WWDC_2006_speech for a summary of this dispute. (Scroll past Paul's original comment. He hasn't replied since then, so maybe he hasn't seen our replies yet.)

I outlined my concerns with the sources here. One should be able to distingush between news and opinion.

If there was ever a problem with this material, the the San Francisco Chronicle wouldn't be citing Wired's report themselves. (→Netscott) 22:28, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi Scott your citing here " A daily dose of postings from The Chronicle's technology blog (sfgate.com/blogs/tech)". We need to distinguish between blogs and news articles. Blogs like columnist columns are opinion pieces and as such are not reliable sources. --Paul E. Ester 22:38, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
WP:RS does not permit "personal blogs" but for blogs and opinion pieces from well established and reliable sources (as has been mentioned above) that correspond to the subject matter mentioned in the article there is no problem. (→Netscott) 22:44, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Paul, it was in the print edition of the Chronicle too. Look on page C1. Regardless, opinion pieces (in addition to blogs, independent commentary, and the like) are perfectly acceptable to cite as sources for the statement that people are speculating about Steve Jobs. —Banzai!

Comment: This is bogus retaliation by a tendentious editor (formerly User:Tercross who has now switched names to User:Lucaas, and who merely wishes to get his way on bogus ideas in a currently expanding philosophy article. I reluctantly used my righteous three reverts helping to keep this article stable as it develops, while making appropriate points on the talk page. The fourth "instance" shown above is not a reversion but a synthesis of currently developing content implemented last night. Two other editors also have reverted the same material trying to get it back in bounds. (We had a WP:NPOV problem, a WP:OR problem and an unintelligibility problem, along with some personal musings thrown in the article for good measure.) If you note the time of this "report", it was placed after my report of five reverts by User:Lucaas located farther below on this page. Sorry to bother the administrators with this nonsense. ...

Three revert rule violation on Michel Foucault (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs). Kmaguir1 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log):

Three revert rule warning diff from before this report was filed here (if applicable) :

Time report made: 05:46, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments: User repeatedly inserts homophobic WP:OR material in bio. Latest edits are by brand-new sock-puppet that was created entirely to hide 3RR violation. "Truthseekers", FWIW, is a phrase repeatedly used by Kmaguir1 on my talk page and several article talk pages in the last few hours (hence making the sock-puppetry obvious). Similar recent 3RR block on Judith Butler (also homophobic rants). Sock-puppetry is also reported at: Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Kmaguir1

Clarification: There are actually two (related) changes going on above. One inserts a claim about Foucault "spreading AIDS"; the other inserts a claim about Foucault being subject to a "faculty investigation" (both are false and/or unverifiable, FWIW). Some of the above edits reinsert both parts, some just one of the two; but however you count it, four or more reversions have been made to either claim (both were first introduced to the article by Kmaguir1 a few days earlier).

I'm sorry--this is not Kmaguir1. Check the IP address. I am just a loyal supporter of the truth, and his attempt to get it out, and this is not sock-puppetry. Any block is invalid. I just recently created this account. -Truthseekers 05:55, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
This is all fabricated. He's a friend, he made these edits of his own volition. Lulu's allegations are false. The material is not homophobic--it states claims cited from a published article. -Kmaguir1 08:53, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
The first two she claims are reverts are not that. They add citations only, which is what was requested by another user. I know the 3RR rule well, and did not break it. -Kmaguir1 09:04, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
And the fifth revert she puts on there was not done by me. -Kmaguir1 09:06, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Comment: Truthseekers and Kmaguir1 dispute being in a sockpuppeteer/sockpuppet relationship, but by their own admission are in a meatpuppeteer/meatpuppet relationship, at least for the time being. This may stem from being new to wikipedia (we all were new once), but hte current effect of these two accounts is to be acting as one, and thus disrupting wikipedia.--Anthony Krupp 15:58, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Time report made: 06:24, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments: According to Talk page has been warned about 3RR in the past. 200.88.223.98 06:33, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

The article is under attack by a series of anon IPs, at least some of which (and I suspect all) belong to user:Gnetwerker, who is being disruptive because he was recently exposed for sockpuppetry. See Category:Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Gnetwerker. Jean Philippe was helping to stem the disruption. I'm about to request semi-protection. SlimVirgin (talk) 06:47, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
VoiceofAll has already sprotected. The anon who posted this report is probably Gnetwerker too. Resolves to Dominican Republic. SlimVirgin (talk) 06:51, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Dispute is over creating a header for the "Holocaust on your Plate" campaign PETA ran. SlimVirgin and Jean Philippe are supporters of PETA and oppose giving this added prominence even though there is enough material in the article for a section. 200.88.223.98 06:53, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
This is vandalism, not a content dispute. The anon has been making random changes (removing headers, breaking ref tags, rewriting the intro) using different IPs. The intention is to disrupt editing. Jean-Philippe was right to revert it, and dealing with disruptive editing is not subject to 3RR. SlimVirgin (talk) 06:59, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
SlimVirgin has now violated 3RR at PETA herself. Admins should examine the edit history of the article and see if what she and Jean-Philippe claim to be "vandalism" really is that. 200.88.223.98 06:57, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm the one who nominated peta for semi-protection. While I think I might have inadvertently broke the 3rr rule earlier on, if not in actual edit counts then at least in spirit, I'd like to point out that I've reverted myself at least once for content when I was pointed out that the edits in question might simply be bad edits and not outright vandalism as I believed. [136]. As for the rest, like revert 4 and 5, as SlimVirgin pointed out, it's downright disruption on the part of the anons. Still if I really violated 3rr, well, tough luck for me. I guess I'll have to learn from it :P Jean-Philippe 07:24, 12 August 2006 (UTC)


Looks like a garden variety content dispute to me. SlimVirgin and Jean-Philippe are both guilty of edit warring and prolonging the disruption.

The three revert rule is not an allowance; it's a fence, it is strongly recommended that you revert only once, any reversions beyond this limit should be performed by somebody else, reverts should only be done to vandalism done in bad faith, the 3RR's only exceptions are for simple vandalism, etc., etc., etc. You both know better than this, and are only being disruptive to push your POV. — Omegatron 20:18, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

You're accusing me of causing the disruption o.O? I didn't hide behind sockpuppets to do my reverts, and I didn't do any of them out of sheer spite like he/she did. Also, please refrain from baseless accusations, I'm not "guilty" of anything. I might get a block, but I still had the best interest of the article in mind when I did those reverts. Jean-Philippe 22:15, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Omegatron, it's an abusive sockpuppet who's trolling, not a serious editor, not a content dispute. Jean-Philippe, reverting that kind of disruption is not subject to 3RR and you did the right thing by requesting page protection. SlimVirgin (talk) 08:09, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:SlimVirgin reported by User:201.155.170.232 (Result: no violation)

Three revert rule violation on {{Article|People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals]}. SlimVirgin (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log): A user by the name of User:SlimVirgin is in violation of what I understand to be the rule against more than three reversions to a single page within a 24 hour period. This user is also rather discourteous to those around him and should have his comportment addressed in the proper forum, if this is not it.

(I hope I get this right ;))

Comments: Well, since the user's last revert spree reported below went unanswered, RG is testing how many reverts it takes to get blocked, as I have asked him repeatedly to calm down and stop the madness. I fear that further inaction now might give him the wrong message. Ulritz 11:49, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:68.227.127.41 reported by User:Batman428 (Result:Warned)

Three revert rule violation on Putnam City North High School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs).

Comments:This user has made multiple edits that were vandalism. Recently he vandalized the article by deleting info that balanced the article simply because he disagreed, therefore biasing of the article. I reverted the deletion, and he has started an editing war. I myself have broken the three revert rule, but within the provisions listed to revert the ;clear and simple vandalism" that this IP address has done. He then left a message on my talk page telling me to "get a life". I request this IP address be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Previous malicious edits not pertaining to the three revert rule (rather they are plain and simple vandalism) of his may be seen on the history page of the article Putnam City North High School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs).

Comment Warned by Avi on August 14. Next time, please file the request using the proper template. Thatcher131 (talk) 14:16, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Chadbryant reported by User:24.215.152.197 (Result:No block)

Three revert rule violation on World Wide Fund for Nature (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs). Chadbryant (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log):

Comments: User Chadbryant has filed an erroneous 3RR report while violating the rule himself. He also mischaracterizes the information, which has been noted by other Wikipedia users besides myself. His behavior has been curt, unresponsive and somewhat harassing. Any help in this matter will be appreciated. Thank you.

Please remember that the 3RR applies to reverts after the third within a 24 hour period (not calendar day); it also does not include self reverts, and reverts to deal with simple vandalism
- Chadbryant 09:16, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
This has been filled incorrectly; the diffs should show the affects of the addition of Chadbryant's edits, not the times when he has been reverted. --Robdurbar 07:04, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Time report made: 07:42, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments: Anon user timed his fourth revert to narrowly avoid the 24-hour period. His reverts to WWE Undisputed Championship to insert similar inaccurate information resulted in a semi-protect for that article. This user has become increasingly confrontational on several talk pages, and has previously stated under another anonymous account that he refuses to register for an account so that he can avoid any blocks or other sanctions. - Chadbryant 07:42, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

24.215.152.197 08:47, 11 August 2006 (UTC)The above user misrepresents my comments, which remain on the talk page. The above user is not only reverting correct information, but violated the same 3RR rule himself on August 10, which can be seen on the above page's edit history. He will not explain his actions. Any help that can be provided will be appreciated.

Due to the length of time that has now passed without a revert, the user should be given one last warning. --Robdurbar 07:00, 13 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] User: Ldingley reported by user:Mikkalai (Result:)

Three revert rule violation on Georgian-Abkhaz conflict (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs). It looks like this user claims authorship of the article, reverting any of my edits on sight (He was doing the same on August 10 as well):

All reverts below are within 6 hours:

Basic version

  1. partial revert of well-known relatively fresh historical events (rather than, say, someone's judgements) with ridiculous edit comment "removing Russian POV statement" (02:29, 12 August 2006 )
  2. "rv Russian POV, complete disregard for NPOV, last warning" (07:19, 12 August 2006)

Actually the one who reported doesn't know even to count them. There are only 2 edits at all. One was the orginial not reverting edit. The other was reverting the Russian POV pushing from this Anti-Georgian vandal Mikkalai (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log). He was blocked before for being vandal.

... And still persists in this behavior, reverting other editors as well, see eg.,

What about your Anti-Georgian attitude? What about the fact that you used an IP to make threats? What about the fact that you used an anon IP to make slurs regarding Georgia?--140.203.12.4 07:03, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Three revert rule violation on Franconian languages (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs). Rex Germanus (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log):

Time report made: Ulritz 20:18, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments: Nasty edit war brewing, user doesnt take into consideration admin opinions, was warned already for trying to delete the article by forcing through a TfD. Vows to continue warring.

The 4th revert is in effect a regular edit. As can be seen by any moderator, there has been a pretty big deal of edit warring going on, sparked by user:Ulritz' wikip spirit.
I added the deltion template because the article was crap, the template can be removed without any further problems when the article is improved significatly, yet instead of doing this user:Ulritz chose to remove the template (he refused normal talkpage discussion or an explanatory edit summary, and instead chose to to offend and insult me). Which I reinstated 3 times (Not breaking the 3RR) after he created the article he also started to change redirects to this new page all over wikipedia, and I thought ... if he's not going to improve the article and make it more worth keeping it might as well do it ... This improvement, is the "4th revert" as listed by User:Ulritz.
A simple viewing of User:Ulritz' talk page will give any admin enough information to see that it is Ulritz refusing to participate in normal wikipedia behaviour and instead chooses to edit war.
Also, no 3RR warning (which as I understood it is standard procedure was given by Ulritz)
Rex 16:32, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
I ask you again to consider the appropriateness of the template you used. WP:PROD is designed for situations where there is no dispute. Once it has been removed by another user, it must not be added again. This has been commented on at WP:ANI. You may find some of the templates at WP:TEMPLATE more useful, esp. WP:TC. Regards, Samsara (talk • contribs) 17:28, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

The deletion template does not matter here, what matters is that I did not break the 3RR rule because I made only 3 reverts, like user Ulritz. What is listed here as a 4th revert is an edit. In which I made the article acceptable. Please focuss on the matter at hand. Rex 17:38, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Time report made: Folken de Fanel 20:45, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments: Keeps adding original research and personnal point of view in contradiction to what has been officially established, despite being unable to cite sources or to show solid proofs to back up his edits. Refuses to acknowledge official statements and facts, and concider his opinion better than anything else. Tendency to make up false claims in order to discredit official sources when they don't say what he wants to hear.

As this was over 48h ago and there has been little editing since, and as this was reported without diffs, a block would be inappropriate. Robdurbar 16:58, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments:

  • He did exactly the same to Miroslav Klose (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (also violation!). He refuses to discuss the details and simply lets time pass to try again exactly the same and still completely without any evidence for his statements. In his Edit summaries he picks out one out of many points to address and pretends that that would be the reason for all the others; e.g. he says »dont put historical foreign names in front of cities if you dont want to be accused of revisionism, the no polish citizenship you added is not true« when there's this whole history of immigration and trivia things he's changing.City-17 19:37, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
