  • This anon refuses to give up his quest to use BCE at Julius Caesar. He claims he made consensus at the Talk page but just made unconclusive statements.
hasn't been warned, so im going to go ahead and do that. no block unless it continues. --heah 00:26, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Time report made: 22:59, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments: This user was warned about their behaviour for the first time on the 5th August. After over a week of this, I'm finally reporting them for the first time. aLii 22:59, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

  • The user also persists in removing his username (added by me) from his posts on the related talk page (example diff) and on my personal talk page (example diff). It's driving me crazy! aLii 23:17, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
24 hours for the anon, and 24 for you as well, alii--you too have broken 3rr, and this edit war is entirely between the two of you from what i can tell. --heah 00:35, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments:Violation of 3RR

User keeps reinserting info that has been removed by myself and another editor. rootology (T) 17:02, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
User has been warned/RV'd again by another editor, but continues doing it. rootology (T) 17:05, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
I do not feel that the user has been warned sufficiently (one comment in an edit summary is not enough for someone who may be unfamiliar with Wikipedia). I will give a final warning, noting that one revert within the next 24 hours would be sufficient for a blocking. Robdurbar 18:26, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Thank you. rootology (T) 18:32, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Subhash_bose reported by User:BhaiSaab talk (Result:24 hour block)

Three revert rule violation on Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Time report made: 19:52, 14 August 2006 (UTC)


Comments: User has been blocked for 3rr before and is aware of the rule. BhaiSaab talk 19:52, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment - Above user never warned Subhash_bose of violation. He made only three reverts, BhaiSaab only wishes to discredit Subhash_bose.Bakaman Bakatalk 20:42, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't think a notification is required - there's nothing on this page that states that. BhaiSaab talk 20:51, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

CommentWikipedia policy states prior notification for 15 hrs so that the alleged 3RR violator has the opportunity to undo his revert. Plus, I've been counting my reverts and they're less than three. The first case was an edit, not a revert. It is not even equivalent to a revert.Netaji 20:56, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Where exactly does wikipedia policy state that? You're already aware of 3rr. BhaiSaab talk 20:59, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Issue with first revert - The first revert is not even a revert.Bakaman Bakatalk 20:59, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I inserted that material; he removed it, in effect partially undoing my edit, which according to WP:3rr is a revert. BhaiSaab talk 21:01, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
The first revert is an 'edit made by netaji not a revert. Bakaman Bakatalk 21:03, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Having looked at the history, I can count at least 4 partial reverts from Subhash_bose on the Gurjat violence page, and at least 4 from BhaiSaab on the other page. 24hour block for Subhash_bose, who has been blocked before, and 8 hours for User BhaiSaab. Please work together to avoid edit wars. Robdurbar 22:21, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Note from User:Bcorr

I have protected the page User:Subhash bose (a.k.a. Netaji) due to an edit war over a sockpuppet notce.

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

  • Previous version reverted to: [1]

  • 2nd revert: [3]
  • 3rd revert: [4]
  • 4th revert: [5]

Time report made: 21:15, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments: The 1st and 2nd diffs are reverts, but the 3rd and 4th are not. The 4th revert (which is somewhat misleading and should be showing this diff I presume) isn't a diff but a comparison of two versions which Bakaman made two edits [6] [7] in between. BhaiSaab talk 21:22, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I hope this has nothing to do with making more noise. BhaiSaab talk 21:30, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Abe.Froman reported by User:Mutant Zero (Result:Each user blocked for 12 hours)

Three revert rule violation on Crystal_Gail_Mangum (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs). Abe.Froman (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log):

Time report made: 21:28, 14 August 2006 (UTC) +

User has been explained the difference between serving in the military and having the legal classification of a Veteran. It is his assumption that she is a Veteran. While no one is disputing the fact that she served in the military, that alone is not proof that she is a Veteran. There are many legal qualifications that she must meet before she is given that status. Serving in the military is just one of those qualifications, and is not the only qualification. No one has found a source, reliable or otherwise, which gives her legal status of a Veteran. We must remove this blurb of information until we do have a reliable source. Wikipedia is for facts, not assumptions or opinions.

User is well aware of the 3RR. It does not appear that he is interested in discussion, and will continue to revert edits.

Reverting vandalism does not fall under 3RR. See the talk page of the article Mutant Zero and his sockpuppets were defacing. Have a look at Mutant Zero's love notes to me on my User Talk Page as well. [8] [9] Abe Froman 22:07, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
I admit, the kid got me upset, but what he's not mentioning is that I removed that comment myself just minutes later once I cooled down. As a Veteran I have a vested interest in educating people on what makes someone a Veteran. Removing unverifiable claims that this woman is a Veteran is not vandalism. It's keeping Wikipedia free from assumptions and unverified facts. Mutant Zero 22:28, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
An admin has since rewritten & reinserted the content users such as Mutant Zero [10]. were repeatedly removing. This 3RR complaint does not fall under 3RR because reversion of vandalism is not covered under 3RR. Abe Froman 22:36, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Blocked both users for 12 hours for 3RR vios. --Woohookitty(meow) 10:42, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

    • Now on his fifth edit[16].

Djegan 22:45, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Djegan 22:04, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

First offence. As user has not been blocked before and has had a long history of contributions to Wikipedia, a warning is sufficient. Please, both disucss this on the talk page.Robdurbar 19:25, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
  • This user has again reverted the Northern Ireland article within 24 hours. Now 8 times in 48 hours. Unfair. Please investigate. Djegan 22:18, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, he had his warning, and now has a block William M. Connolley 22:24, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

  • User is a sysop, sould know. Also had a prior 3RR report in July.


Time report made: 08:03, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments: User does not understand the fact that removing the tag causes disruption to hundreds of pages, user also a sysop and making block threats towards me! Matthew Fenton (Talk | Contribs) 08:03, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

MatthewFenton is staging a one-man revert war to force his color functionality into that article, including reverting four times 24 hours and 7 minutes and edit warring using popups. He's ignored all suggestions that he not insert this code into the template, to the point where he counted comments that said "No, please stop doing this" as "Support" votes, then cited that vote tally as a reason that he should be able to ignore all criticism of his lousy color idea.

Users ed g2s (talk · contribs), Combination (talk · contribs), myself, and freakofnurture (talk · contribs) have all removed this code from the template, whereas the only ones to insert it are Fenton and a relatively new user named Insanity13 (talk · contribs).

I may have violated the 3RR, but who is carrying out a revert war here? - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 08:26, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

You dont seem to realise this var. is being used, you removing it causes disruption. If you plan on removing all instances go ahead. But it should be left there till THEN! The concensous seems to all be support at the moment. Matthew Fenton (Talk | Contribs) 08:40, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Both of you guys know better. Talk about things on the talk page and iron things out. No need for blocks here -- Samir धर्म 12:41, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

  • 23:40, 14 Aug

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

Additional notes:

  • An additional warning was given on an earlier occasion by User:Mavarin (diff), so he should have been aware of the rule.
  • Warnings placed on User talk:Marky48 were subsequently deleted, following the brief addition of a personal attack.
  • A warning about removing warnings was subsequently removed along with the 3RR warning.

Comments: This user is a stalker and has harassed me over the said article for months. I've asked for help removing his repeated attacks from Will Beback who knows about it. Three in one day is my understanding of this rule. I reverted on two separate days.Marky48 11:41, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

You have had plenty of chances to read this policy and have been told that it is no more than three times in twenty four hours. As it is your first offence, but not your first warning, a block is appropriate. --Robdurbar 19:29, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Is it just me? I do not see any differences in the diffs provided. Also, warning was given after last revert, according to timestamps? -- Avi 15:53, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
No, there aren't any differences, thus proving that they are indeed pure reverts. My understanding is that this is the point of the diffs - am I mistaken? Jakew 16:25, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
You are supposed to show what has changed, meaning the actual reversion from what was, to what is, so we can see what was changed. For example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/3RR#User:Kingdom_hearts_lll_reported_by_User:Pentasyllabic_.28Result:24_hour_block.29 Also, it should be in chronological order, but that isn't such a big deal. -- Avi 16:28, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

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

  • No warning given, user is aware of 3RR and has broken it purposefully on earlier occasions ([20]).

Time report made: 22:06, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments:

Complex reverts; constant reverted element across all four instances is the re-insertion of the phrase "Albanian-speaking Greek settlers" instead of "Albanian settlers" in the first sentence of the "History" section (a hotly contentious POV detail discussed on talk page). Otherwise various additions and re-insertions into a text that was substantially rewritten in the meantime by other users. Deucalionite had previously inserted the same phrase and some other changes 7 times within 10 days in a slow edit-war below the 3RR threshold (3 Aug, 5 Aug, 8 Aug, 9 Aug, 11 Aug, 12 Aug, 12 Aug). User has announced that he will continue to revert irrespective of other editors' opinions ([21]). Was earlier blocked for 48 hours as a repeat offender in a similar case, revert-warring over a similar topic, on Souliotes. Fut.Perf. ☼ 22:06, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

May I speak freely in my defense? Future Perfect does not realize (after explaining to him in the discussion page; see "False Judgments" section) that I engaged in the "slow edit-war" (without breaking 3RR of course) in order to help speed up the process in seeing corrections made to the Arvanites history section. Though such actions may be seen as questionable, I was only focused on trying to stimulate anyone capable of refining the article that was in dire need of revisions. Future Perfect, indeed, did a fine job making the corrections in the history section.
Yes, I am aware of 3RR. However, Future Perfect does not want to admit that I did not revert the article three times in one day. Also, I did not say exactly that I would disregard other editors' statements. In fact, I explicitly stated the following: "I will continue to make any necessary additions to the article irrespective if you (or Aldux or Telex) revert the article continuously." Aldux, Future Perfect, and Telex kept reverting my sourced edits and really did not provide much encouragement for me to discuss what I provided since they were "set in their ways." I felt that discussing about what I contributed would have been largely ignored and so I actively placed my sourced contributions on the article in the hopes that they would be noticed by other users who would take the evidence I provided into consideration.
Also, I do care about what other editors have to contribute. Case in point, I never reverted the major corrections Future Perfect made to the history section. I made some changes to the section after Future Perfect placed his significant edits. Moreover, Future Perfect's critiques (see "Deucalionite's proposals") of some of my edits did not go unnoticed by me. To an extent, I improved upon the mistakes I made so as to provide readers with sourced and comprehensible text. Though the improvements upon my mistakes might not seem like much, they are an indication that I do acknowlegde criticism (though I'd much prefer constructive criticism).
I do not think that I should be banned this time since I did not revert the article three times in one day. It would be unfair to anyone if users were banned because they were marginalized while struggling to make an article better. Though the phrases I had to re-insert were the same and were deemed as POV, I still did not violate 3RR and all of the statements I provided in the article were sourced.
I await honorably for my punishment anyway, but I'd much prefer not to be banned for the reasons stated above. Thank you and I hope you understand where I am coming from. Deucalionite 00:11, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
I acknowledge that much in Deucalionite's changes at first constituted a good-faith attempt at improving an article which was in dire need of revision; that in his later re-statements of his edits he made some attempts at constructively taking certain criticism into account; and that he tried to deal constructively with my rewrite proposal. However, the continued insertion of the contentious "Albanian-speaking Greek" phrase still constitutes a controversial revert, which he knowingly upheld against strong talkpage objections, and technically it was done exactly four times within 24 hours as the diffs show. Fut.Perf. ☼ 08:59, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Time report made: 11:47, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments: The reversions are slightly different to evade 3RR and game the system, but they all amount to inserting OR tags or commenting out a widely accepted section, which is absolutely against the consensus on the talk page and have all been reverted by many other people. This is a long-time user with many archives of his talk page, not a new user or anon, so I assumed a warning was unnecessary. Deuterium 11:47, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

It seems to me that Netscott was attempting to remove unverified claims from Wikipedia, which break WP:V in his opinion. This would not be a violation of 3RR. I just looked at the claims myself, and I am personally not convinced that this is a "widely accepted section". I think that the best solution is not to block Netscott, but to resolve this issue on the talk page (using protection of the page if the edit warring continues). jaco♫plane 15:44, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
This individual has tried to cite 5 diffs by citing the 1st diff twice. [fixed - Deuterium] What we have here is two indepedent reverts. The last two diffs cover different parts of the section of content. These edits were done towards meeting neutral point of view and to avoid original research. For the article to blanket refer to the given content as exemplary of "islamophobia" without citing a source stating as much puts Wikipedia out of neutrality for Wikipedia becomes the entity describing the information as demonstrative of "islamophobia". (→Netscott) 16:00, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
User:Jacoplane commented on the lack of citations (paraphase here: "it's wrong") regarding the addition of Gallup poll content to the article. (→Netscott) 16:16, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

This is a page with many reverts from many users. It seems that none have broken the 3RR as of now, but that many have come close. --Robdurbar 22:00, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

No I'm afraid you don't understand the concept of a "revert" - See WP:3RR. It says "undoing the actions of another editor or other editors in whole or part", which Netscott hsa clearly done at least 4 times within a 24 hour time frame. I'm changing this to open because you have failed to properly address this. Deuterium 00:34, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
Thank you of informing me of what policy I am aware of. However, can I sugest that if you have a complaint about my actions, taking it directly elsewhere on the administrator's noticeboard, rather than reverting (ironic under the circumstances) my edits. Or alternativedly, questioning me on my justifications, rather than presuming that I don't understand policy?
In my opinion, by commenting out the original research, Nescott had avoided reverting your edits - he had not undone your work or actions, merely sidelined it until he, or the community as a whole, could be convinced that it wasn't original research. By not removing the content, the editor was not 'undoing the actions' of anybody. I did not interpret these as reverts. --Robdurbar 20:39, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
That's ridiculous, many others had specifically removed the OR tag because it obviously wasn't OR and Netscott repeatedly put it back in. So, according to you people can revert as much as long as they are adding tags or commenting out material?
Secondly, by referring to the material as original research you are obviously taking a side in this debate, which places your actions and motivations under suspicion.
PS I'm relisting this on the 3RR noticeboard, because it was an obvious violation. Deuterium 23:20, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments: Asked user to discuss his edit on his Talk Page, but he reverted the article again in violation of 3RR to contain his original edit that wasn't cited and is speculative in nature. He was warned by another user about prohibitions against OR on Wiki. He's also reverted reverts of his uncited edits on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody (though not in violation of the 3RR) and I warned him about the 3RR on his Talk page. He then reverted the article a fifth time in 24 hours, and I warned him about the 3RR, which you can see in a diff here: 1:19, August 16, 2006.

First of all, this diff shows where 69.197.208.3 admits to being the same user as 64.231.199.31. 69.197.208.3 says as I said before "We can only quote them about what they ACTUALLY DID to confirm that they accept the obvious truth...". 64.231.199.31 is the one who made that quote, here.

At that point, I warned the user. This is an OLDID, not a diff, because it was the first post on his user page: 17:19, August 16, 2006

The user's IP then changed, but he admitted (as shown above) that they were the same user. Another anon, User:65.190.135.228, came by and completely removed the disputed paragraph, stating that "The source is not correctly summarized":

69.197.208.3 then came in and inserted a revised paragraph:

This may or may not be a revert. User:Jonearles then removed the revised paragraph, stating that "The paragraph still doesn't accurately summarize the source." 69.197.208.3 reverted:

This is a definite revert, the 6th within 24 hours, after being warned about the 3RR. Note that these last edits come with summaries stating that the user is editing in accordance with the talk page. This implies consensus, when in fact he simply stated "this is what I'm going to do" and then posted it.

The truth of the matter - This is merely a farce to get Subash (whose viewpoint BhaiSaab opposes) banned. Three were to combat vandalism by BhaiSaab and one was a merging of two sections (hardlly classified as a revert).Bakaman Bakatalk 22:38, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment - 1st revert was to revert vandalism by BhaiSaab. The text was sourced but it did not fit BhaiSaab's POV so it was deleted. Actually all the reverts were combatting vandalism. There is no need to delete well-sourced material. BhaiSaab has engaged in POV pushing. He wants to get Subhash out of his way.Bakaman Bakatalk 22:28, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
  • 2nd revert - BhaiSaab tried to keep a section not fitting his POV off the page. Bakaman Bakatalk 22:38, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
  • 3rd revert - Not even a revert - It was merely a merging of two separate sentences.Bakaman Bakatalk 22:38, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
  • On the 4th revert - It was well sourced material. Not original research, so the tag was unwarranted. The 3RR case is merely a farce to get Subhash out of his way.Bakaman Bakatalk 22:30, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - Add that the user BhaiSaab has committed 6RR (see complaint below) and I was correcting his unreasoned vandalism (IMHO) of a sourced edit by another user. If the admin feels that this is not vandalism but a content dispute, then I request that he let me know in my talk page so that I may reverse my last revert and negate the alleged 3RR violation.Netaji 23:21, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

If showing that a source is so obviously misrepresented, then yes what I did was vandalism. The third revert shows Netaji deleting "failed verification" tags. BhaiSaab talk 01:11, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Reply - The source was not misrepresented. It gave clear proof of a mandir and irked Muslims, who still have not furnished proof to the contrary. It merely did not fit your POV on the issue, giving you 'moral justification' to vandalize it.Bakaman Bakatalk 01:17, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Then I find it strange that you haven't provided a quote from the source (as I've requested on the talk page) to substantiate your claims. BhaiSaab talk 01:22, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Why am I needing to find proof? Why haven't the Muslims found anything to debunk Hindu claims to the site? The sentence was added because the Muslim parties have not found anybody to support their claims. Since there are no sources in the article to contradict this, my statement is true, meaning you deleted a true statement. This of course is vandalism.Bakaman Bakatalk 01:26, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Essentially, you're saying "I can't find a quote in the source to back up the claim." BhaiSaab talk 01:33, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
No I'm saying "The Muslim side just got owned by the facts". Of course I may be misrepresenting my own statement.Bakaman Bakatalk 01:50, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

This appears to be a way to disrupt the article without technically reverting the 3RR and was enough, in my mind, to warrent a short block". Taken from User_talk:BhaiSaab#3RR_ViolationBakaman Bakatalk 01:28, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
So am I supposed to deliberately edit in a way that obviously breaks the 3rr rule? I had no other recourse because the source is obviously misrepresented. BhaiSaab talk 01:32, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Its not misrepresented. As you can see, this debunked every claim the Muslims made. It stated as fact, that the Eyesore was built on the temple. You deleted a true statement, then tried to find sneaky ways to make it look like you were not reverting. Your tactics were meant to "disrupt the article". Vandalism as we call it. You have broken 3RR.Bakaman Bakatalk 01:36, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm seeing a good faith effort by User:BhaiSaab to prevent original research from entering into this article. Also, I don't see more than 3 reverts. (→Netscott) 03:32, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

This may seem to be none of my business, but hopefully an outside view will help. I think the problem is that the two of you are in the middle of an edit war. The three of you should go to Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution for the best ways to resolve your issues. Ask for mediation or arbitration; just something other than trying to call 3RR on each other. I would be willing to believe that a smart admin would either not block either of you, or block both of you. Either way, I think Dispute Resolution is where you need to go. --Targetter (Lock On) 01:46, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Indeed. It appears that user:BhaiSaab has also broken this rule for the second time in a few days. I have blocked SB for 24 hours again, and will block BS for the same period. The two need to realise that this is not how to conduct themselves on Wikipedia. --Robdurbar 08:54, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Hmm, I see reverts here, here and here but on the other ones I see the adding of tags and content being commented out. One of the "reverts" above was a link to the history of the article. Did I miss something? (→Netscott) 09:25, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, apologies, I did miss count this one. I'll cancel the block Robdurbar 09:58, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments: The reversions are slightly different to evade 3RR and game the system, but they all amount to inserting OR tags or commenting out a widely accepted section, which is absolutely against the consensus on the talk page and have all been reverted by many other people. This is a long-time user with many archives of his talk page, not a new user or anon, so I assumed a warning was unnecessary. Deuterium 11:47, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

  • I have raised the question of whether or not the article should have the genocide or massacres category. I asked on the talk page what people would prefer to use and the majority said the later. Vsion and another user refuse to accept that because they feels they are right. I apologise for the fourth revert as I didn't realise my mistake. Then again it was made 23 hours after the first, so I think that Vsion is using this as a somewhat sneaky means of taking control of the article. John Smith's 22:27, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Although there were only 4 edits within this 24 hour period, you have established a pattern of reverting changes to the article, as evidenced by the history of the page. I'm blocking you for 12 hours, with an urge to continue the discussion on the talk page (once the block expires). The WP:3RR is designed for content disputes, and this is one.

Comments:- the anon user keeps inserting POV and agenda-pushing edits against overwhelming consensus (evidenced on the talk page of the article concerned). Extreme patience has been shown over many days and user has been warned twice today by two different editors about 3RR, yet he still insists on reverting to his POV edits.-- WilliamThweatt 02:37, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Agenda-pushing ? Why ? Just because it diasgrees with your agenda or POV ? And theres no way that one or two users versus me is considered "overwhelming consensus". Its funny because everything you say about my edits can be equally said about yours or calgacus' on the articles in question. Exactly. 69.157.109.170 03:02, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
I have no agenda and my edits are not POV. "Migration" is a neutral, all-encompassing term, "diaspora" is not. It's plain and simple. As for consensus, the status quo was determined, and has existed so long, as the result of the consensus of many editors (indeed all who have contributed to the article since its inception and not seen the need to mention a "diaspora"). Yes, it was a vocal three or four who bothered to attempt discussion with you on the talk page, but, according to the edit history, many more have simply reverted your foolishness, obviously feeling that it deserved no comment. None have either defended your edits or simply been content to let them pass, but have almost instantly reverted them. This is overwhelming consensus.--WilliamThweatt 03:55, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments: I believe this amounts to a violation of the 3RR. Basically, the editor made an uncommented deletion of a block of text that discussed criticism of the article subject. Multiple editors reverted this deletion, complaining in edit summaries that it was unexplained. The anon editor finally decided to make some case for his position, but still ended up deleting this text block for the fourth time today. Please advise if I should take this to AN/I instead of here.

  • User:Dposse and User:Guerillafilm have been engaging in an edit war all day. Guerillafilm may also be guilty of a 3RR violation.
  • Dposse probably has five or six reverts to the page in the last 24 hours.
  • Dposse has been using foul language in edit summaries towards Guerillafilm, and has been exhibiting page ownership behavior.
  • I'm reporting this because an anon user just edited the section to make it more concise and more neutral and dposse reverted again.
And edit summaries like "For the love of snakes, please look at your own fucking talk page Guerillafilm!" aren't helping Dposse's case very much. Metros232 20:57, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Chocolate boy is accusing me of posting as an anonymous user, a sockpuppet. This is patently untrue. You can check my IP address. And I can guarantee you that the anonymous user who attempted to post a neutral compromise edit (that was then was vandalized by dposse) is not me.Guerillafilm 22:17, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
  • How interesting it is that you only posted one side to this story. How about you post all the edits that Guerillafilm did? I am not the bad guy here. I did everything by the book. It is not my fault that Guerillafilm ignored attempts to settle events peacefully. dposse 21:31, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Dposse, there's a warning on your talk page, posted at 20:18, 21 August 2006. You reverted the page again after that, hence my reporting of you for a 3RR violation. I suggest that you review WP:3RR to better understand the policy in question. | Mr. Darcy talk 21:40, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Again, go ahead and post all the times that Guerillafilm reverted the page. I was the one who tried to edit the page peacefully. Guerillafilm reverted the page so fast that i couldn't fix the page to make all parties happy. dposse 21:43, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
  • dposse... other individuals' bad behavior doesn't justify your own bad behavior. Does the "Snakes on a Plane" Wikipedia page belong to you? Somebody please ban him. dposse will not let anyone, other than himself, edit on that page. Basically we have to ask for his permission to edit the page. If he doesn't like our contribution, then he will ruthlessly break the rules to protect his own agenda on that article. I tried a couple of times to contribute meaningfully and then he vandalized my contribution and then he reverted the page anyways, more times than is allowed by wikipedia policy.24.9.70.47 12:41, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

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


Time report made: 22:17, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments: User Djegan has already broken 3RR on this article twice in the last week. Well aware of policy (as can be seen by the fact that he has also reported myself), can someone investigate? I notice he has claimed an anonymous IP is responsible for the last revert, though I obviously cannot be sure: this user has recruited help from other editors in an edit war against me, and is very obviously 'playing the game' with regard to the 3RR rule.

I remind that the 3RR Rule states: If you violate the three revert rule, after your fourth revert in 24 hours sysops may block you for up to 24 hours. In cases where multiple parties violate the rule, sysops should treat all sides equally.

I further note that I have tried to come to a compromise on several occasions - particularly on my last edit, which might be regarded as an expansion or clarification rather then merely a simple revert. It was certainly an effort to reach consensus.

Djegan has asked for citations for my edits. I supplied them, yet this still is apparently not good enough for him --Mal 22:17, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

This nomination is in bad faith and based on incorrect information...

  • Comment As I have stated on talk:Northern Ireland and above that fourth edit that is cited here 22:41, 21 August 2006 is not mine. Nor have I asked for that anon editor to revert it for me. That anon editor (193.1.172.138 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • WHOIS • RDNS • trace • RBLs • http • block user • block log)) has been harassing several editors, including myself, for some time. I only reverted this article three times today, that I contend. The anon editor is located in Ireland (do a trace), I live outside Ireland. Djegan 22:26, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

In summary I do not edit by anon and do not revert war with myself. I think that Mals nomination is in bad faith as I already stated on talk:Northern Ireland that I did not edit anonymously. He should of made it clear above that three reverts are under a user account and a fourth under an ip address. Additionally he states that I broke 3RR before, this is incorrect. Let him cite the occurences, its clear from his talk page that he does no understand 3RR. Djegan 22:31, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

      • Response to evidence regarding 4th revert:

Fair enough. Though I have not investigated your evidence, I will take you on face value Djegan. I was going to remove the '4th revert', though I thought perhaps it should be kept so that Admins can see exactly what we have been talking about here. I have put a note after it instead.

You are, however, still apparently guilty of breaking the 3RR rule (my opinion). --Mal 22:41, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

  • 3RR violation occures on the fourth revert, not the third. The "fourth revert" is not actually me. Djegan 23:00, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
  • The Three Revert Rule:

Just because someone has violated the three revert rule does not mean they will be blocked. It is up to the administrator's discretion whether to take action. Conversely, just because someone has not violated the 3RR does not mean that they will not be blocked. Revert warring is disruptive, and the 3RR is not an entitlement to three 'free' reverts per day.

Quoted from Wikipedia:Three-revert rule:

The 3RR is intended as a means to stop sterile edit wars. It does not grant users an inalienable right to three reverts every twenty-four hours. If you find you have reverted more than even once in a day, it indicates there is a serious problem and you should try Wikipedia:Dispute resolution, starting with the article's talk page.

--Mal 23:28, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Actually I am not the only person who reverted the article. Indeed the consenus was with the version I reverted to. If we are going to use WP:3RR - even when its not technically been broken - as a stick to overide the policies WP:VERIFY and WP:NOR (official policies that must be meet); then its time for people to quit wikipedia, never mind temporary blocks. All I have insisted on is that WP:VERIFY and WP:NOR be adhered to on the disputed article. I have never broken WP:3RR, because I respect the policies; I do not "game" them either.

The edit the user made (and repeatedly reinserted after other editors removed it) was "Even [Jim] Talent's supporters think he's going to loose (sic)". A glance at the user's talk page indicates that a) he's a suspected sock puppet, and b) he has a serious problem adhering to NPOV on political topics. An article like United States Senate elections, 2006 is by nature in danger of being contaminated by POV material, and it's not good for an editor who cannot control his biases to be unable to resist infecting such articles.

Comments: User keeps reverting page to include citation-needed tags for verified information (as per talk page). This encourages another user to vandalise the article by blanking the relevant sections altogether.

  • Comments: First off, I am aware of 3RR. I reverted based on my belief that WP-Edit's reverts of my citationneeded tag amounts to obvious vandalism. As explained on the talk page, the claim was not cited even though WP-Edit believes it was covered in the next paragraph, and WP-Edit himself cautions another user for the same thing: "In the first paragraph you removed the [citation needed] tag for an unproven statement". Currently a citation has been added by Edgar181, but I am unconvinced that its specificity is of the necessary level, as explained on the Talk page. However, that is neither here nor there, as this is about my reverts: I believe I was reverting obvious vandalism, and it didn't even concern a change to the substance of the article, merely a citationneeded tag I believe necessary in order to encourage someone to find a good source per WP:CITE; I myself did look for sources but have not yet found sources to satisfy the entirety of the statement. —pfahlstrom 17:29, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

None of this is close to 3 reverts in 24 hours. The report is deliberately misleading, stating that the first addition of the graph is both the previous version and a revert at the same time (and concealing this by not giving time stamps) and stating that minor corrections of my own the text, with no one else editing between my edits, is reverting!!! The rest is also false, I have discussed the issue numerous times on the talk page. On the other hand, you have reverted 5 times in 24 hours as noted above.Ultramarine 20:36, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Although the user didn't revert to the exact version listed above, the content he reverted was from that period. So he was effectively reverting. John Smith's 21:17, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

The first edit was NOT revert. The contribution I added was clearly NOT present in "Previous version reverted" shown above. John Smith's reverted my contribution first and both of us at this time only made 3 reverts. --RevolverOcelotX 21:18, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Your first edit was a revert because you were re-inserting material from that edit. There were only minor changes in the mean-time. John Smith's 21:26, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
There is no evidence that my first edit was "re-inserting material from that edit". Read the previous version above. It is clearly not a revert. John Smith's is using this as a rather sneaky way to attempt to gain leverage in a content dispute. --RevolverOcelotX 21:32, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Cowman, I know that you are a VERY conservative administrator, but you have to admit that this is not just a "simple misunderstanding". This has really gone on long enough---it is ridiculous just how much attention this one person is getting from a whole lot of people here on WP. And I know you have looked into this matter into great detail, so you should know just about everything that has happened by now. This is not a simple distraction, this is a part of someone running Wikipedia, while you and the rest of the administrators nanny this person by giving him warnings, reprieve after reprieve, blocks, more reprieves etc. I'm certain that I can formally petion a list of 15-20 unique WPs (if not more) who would agree that this user is not fit for editing the WP and..I cannot imagine that you and the other admins have not seen the same over the time you've known Kwame and his sockpuppets. --Palffy 02:08, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

I'd support a block of some significant duration, should one be handed out, or would consider one myself. This user has exhibited a rather cavalier attitude to the counsel given him, and his current user page could be viewed as giving the appearance of trolling. He's been warned of his behaviour in the past. I highly doubt, with all due respect to Cowman109, that this user is simply misinformed, he has a tendency to apparently wikilawyer about anything and everything at the slightest provocation. ++Lar: t/c 03:53, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

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


Time report made: 00:40, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments: Repeat offender. Fully aware that he is beaking the WP:3RR rule. Simply reverts any edit not to his taste without the slightest attempt at discussion beforehand. Always the protagonist in any revert war, as a look at this article's (as well as others) page history will show.

I reverted factually wrong statements (namely, that there existed no municipality of Paris before the French Revolution, which is proven wrong by evidence). You can see the evidence at Talk:Paris#Municipality bis. I note that another user on the talk page expressed doubt at Promenader's statement that the municipality of Paris didn't exist, yet Promenader reverted the article back to his version of history. Does 3RR applies when an editor adds factually wrongs information to an article? I'd like also to let admins know that Promenader himself reverted the article 4 times tonight. Four times in a row he deleted a sentence stating that the provost of the merchants was shot by the crowd on 14 July 1789, an historical event nobody is doubting. That sentence was added to the article on 15 August 2006 ([139]). Tonight the Promenader deleted this sentence 4 times, thus making 4 reverts to the state of the article as it existed before 15 August 2006. Here are the four reverts where you can see the sentence disappearing each time: [140], [141], [142], and [143]. Personally I would have filed no complaint for that, but since Promenader filed a complaint against me, I think it's fair that his four reverts be examined too. Hardouin 01:27, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
The 'fact' that Hardouin indicates is only his own interpretation thereof, and even this is only one of the passges he reverted to. As for the other, there was even a discussion open on this subject, but the above refused to follow it, and the corrections I intended were indicated well beforehand both on the Paris talk page and Hardouin's own talk page. Please note the dates on both. After over a week of no further discussion, yet only minutes after the cnanges in question were made, Hardouin pounced and reverted. And reverted. And reverted. And reverted. As always. thepromenader 01:55, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
PS: I can hardly call good faith the fact that my first edit, whose intent I mentioned well beforehand, was called a revert. What's more, one of the phrases I was trying to correct was my own contribution. thepromenader 02:05, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Hardouin, no matter how 'right' you think you are, or 'wrong' the other editor appears to you, there is no justification for breaking the three revert rule. As you have been blocked on this article for breaking the rule numerous times before, I think a 48 hour block is appropriate. Robdurbar 06:55, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Hardouin, again, my edit was hardly a revert: First off, the edit you reverted is quite unlike its original form, and the rest was a correction outlined more than a week beforehand. You chose not to answer, so I corrected. The first revert was yours, as always. thepromenader 12:03, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

They seem to be repeatedly adding "desirable leafy green" to the description of the article on Teddington dozens of examples can be seen here. The user may have a comercial interest in the change, but WP:AGF prevents that from being assumed.

  • I'm torn. this feels like a retaliatory report to me, with a side order of wikilawyering, but if it's a straight revert war, both parties should get blocks, because the party trying to "defend" shouldn't be revert warring either... this is where tag teaming actually can be good, as it shows a consensus against the change. ++Lar: t/c 18:10, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
  • As long as the user now understands the copyright issues now, and will not revert anymore, we should be fine not blocking. Copy violations are a serious reason enough to revert, though getting an admin in rather than passing 3RR would be more effective and would not violate any rules.Voice-of-All 05:31, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
    • To be clear. I don't feel strongly either way about a block. But certainly, any such revert warring in the future should result in a block. Unless there is simple vandalism, you should abide 3RR and get an admin to deal with it, even if it involves serious possible copyright issues. I suppose blatant, vandal-like, copyvios can be considered vandalism when repeatedly added, but I don't think that was the case here.Voice-of-All 22:52, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Time report made: 16:34, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments:

  • Netscott doesn't like an image in an article, and is gaming the 3RR rule to deprecate it in various ways. His first two reverts are straightforward, adding text to the caption. The third makes it invisible, the fourth marks it as "original research", and the fifth adds slightly different wording to the caption, but meaning the same thing. Quoting from WP:3RR:

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 (or punctuation mark). Even if you are making other changes at the same time, continually undoing other editors' work counts as reverting. "Complex partial reverts" refer to reverts that remove or re-add only some of the disputed material while adding new material at the same time, which is often done in an effort to disguise the reverting. This type of edit counts toward 3RR, regardless of the editor's intention.

  • The editor is insistent that he will not revert himself. [146]. Jayjg (talk) 16:34, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
    • As I already stated to User:Jayjg I'll not be editing further today on this article. Please reveiw these diffs carefully... and please inform me if they do constitue a breach of 3RR. I beg to differ. (→Netscott) 17:02, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
      • It's a clear 3RR violation. The policy makes clear that repeated undoing of another editor's work counts toward a 3RR violation, as was explained in the warning you received. You're attempting to game the system, and you ignored the warnings and turned down the chance to revert yourself. SlimVirgin (talk) 17:06, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
        • SlimVirgin, there's only two editors who've been undoing another editor's work more than three times here (and you falsely labeled one of your reverts a "rvv"). (→Netscott) 17:13, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
          • I made numerous efforts to resolve this lack of observation of NPOV policy. How is citing what an image's source claims about the image "deprecating" it? (→Netscott) 17:29, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
            • Yes, well your continued claim that this violates NPOV, despite your refusal to cite the actual section of policy violated, in no way vitiates your violation of 3RR, and refusal to undo that violation. Jayjg (talk) 22:46, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
              • I honestly do not believe that I've violated 3RR here. What's up with the out of order time stamps in your report here by the way? (→Netscott) 23:11, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Please take a look at the discussion pages on our user pages and on the Hoffman page - Peephole is reverting to versions of the Hoffman page with information that deletes key aspects of the article - such as the major websites designed by Hoffman, the internal links, and calls for citations which have already been addressed - and then tells everyone else not to make reverts, but to change things piecemeal . . . to which he himself then reverts over. Others are attempting dialog on the discussion page over these confusing changes Peephole. Jim Hoffman cannot have incorrect information on his webpage so I am reverting to keep the page correct before the Peephole changes. We can debate about semantics of conspriacy theorist or 9/11 researcher, but my concern is in references to nanotechnology and deletions of several links on the page going to his websites with no explanation. bov 23:14, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

The issue is one of Hanuman not wanting a WikiProject tag on the page. Three revert rule warning is not of me warning him, but of him warning me after I reverted something else a mere 2 times, showing that he understood the rule enough to understand he was breaking it.KV(Talk) 19:02, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't believe that 3RR applies to inappropriate talk page tagging. If it does, please simply let me know and I will observe it. User:King Vegita is trying to override a request for a survey as to whether it is appropriate to add the tag to an article which does not fit the project. I am happy for him to add it if he has support, but think he should have the patience to wait for the result of the survey. Thanks. —Hanuman Das 20:38, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
If you want the survey, you can have the survey, but in the mean time there is no need for your version to have to be the one that is up. You are the one who wanted to push for the change, initially reverting anothers addition, because you did not find it factual for the premise. In respect of the right to vanish (which you did not do and Right to Vanish does not guarantee) I will merely leave here the fact that Hanuman had another name in which he had a 3RR violation in the past. Hanuman had deleted the original post.
KV(Talk) 21:23, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
I also note that Hanuman had to be aware that it was in effect there, as he was bringing it up over the categorization of a category. WP:3RR clearly states, "Reverting, in this context, means undoing the actions of another editor or other editors in whole or part."
KV(Talk) 21:40, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

  • This is a content dispute that I did not repeat my edits again at, I had in fact only changed a few words around the first time, then realized that the sentence structure was funky, that you continued to revert back to. You are the one that has been blocked for these things in the past, more than once. I even explained myself in my last edit summary, and the contents of that last edit are different than the version that I had reverted back to in the first place, and the first revert doesn't even count, as it is different as well. Ryūlóng 08:42, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Also, only two of those diffs that you provided are identical, the other two are formatted differently and other changes were made to the text. Ryūlóng 08:47, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
    The 3RR works anyway. You have reverted the article four times and exceeded the limit, you cannot avoid 3RR violation by alternating some edits.--Nixer 09:10, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

      Yes, you did not.--Nixer 09:53, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
      • What? I included the information you editted in. Check the article. It contains both "celestial body" and "dwarf planet" in the first line. It contains both versions of the content between us that is disputed. Seriously, though, why do you want to get me blocked so badly? Ryūlóng 09:54, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment I have beeen involved in this dispute after seeing a report on WP:AIV. After warnings where both editors were on exactly 3 reverts apiece, the edit war stopped. I do not consider Ryūlóng to have exceeded 3RR, but I caution both parties to avoid disruptive edit warring, and engage in constructive dilogue to move forward. --Cactus.man ✍ 10:29, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

You can see the four reverts listed above. If you have some thoughts why some of them should not be counted, please explain. The war stopped temporary because I wait an admin to revert the last edint by user Ryūlóng (I am on limit of 3RR and Ryūlóngalready violated it). Please do not support those who violates the rules.--Nixer 10:38, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Nixer, I have explained on your talk page. I am not "supporting" anybody, just working to protect Wikipedia. Blocks are not punitive, they are preventative. Whether or not there are technically 3 or 4 reverts by Ryūlóng is now moot, because the revert warring has stopped. A block is not required to prevent anything, and it's not policy to block users as punishment. As I state on your talk page, if this revert war is resumed by either party, I will block whoever it is. Also, please do not remove my edit posting the outcome of this report, that is disruptive. --Cactus.man ✍ 10:50, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Why do you protecting the version by Ryūlóng? He violated the rule and should be at least reverted by an admin. According the rules all parties violated the 3RR shoiuld be blocked.--Nixer 10:53, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Why is it that you want me to be blocked, or have your version restored? I have editted the page so that both forms are used; the only thing that is essentially the same is the wording in the second paragraph, as it was a bit redundant in the way you had written it. The first line has both "celestial body" and "dwarf planet", and the exact date of the change is also listed. What is your deal with all of this? What did I do to you? Ryūlóng 10:56, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
The subject of the dispute is the second paragraph exactly. Both celestial body and dwarf planet would be fine for me (the former is slightly better) The current version is exactly yours with all my changes reverted.--Nixer 11:04, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

This is my first complaint of a 3RR violation so please forgive me if I am not doing something correctly. This user has tried to push a POV in the article in question, despite consensus against him. Then, he accused me of being a "sockpuppet" of another user, a departmental colleague of mine with userid User:Subhash bose. He added an entry to the Check-User page for this. I engaged in an irc chat session (taking time off of my work schedule) with user bose, as well as wikipedia admins establishing that I am not a sockpuppet or anything, but Holywarrior still persists. In any case, I believe that this is a 3RR violation and I request that action be taken against this user. Thanks very much.Hkelkar 10:52, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
I support this report. Holywarrior has been pushing anti-Hindu POV and called my souced and good-faith edits nonsense.Bakaman Bakatalk 14:53, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
I object the use of terms Anti-X or Anti-Y, both terms are heavily loaded and not objective.If a reliable source confirms the term then it is OK but when authors on Wikipedia themselves use the term without qualifying the sources it becomes difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff.TerryJ-Ho 17:24, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree that the 3RR does apply in this case, but the four reverts above (edit nr. 5 is does not revert to the same version, but to a compromise suggestion by Hkelkar) are spread over more than 24 hours. There were 3 reverts in 24 hours, which are not technically a 3RRvio. Please be more careful before blocking. (ᛎ) qɐp 14:01, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

You have an extensive history of 3RR violations, and now it just seems that you want to make a point to get me blocked. These new allegations are complete and utter nonsense.

Three revert rule violation on Robert_Spencer. Example User (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log):

This user is simply bullying three different editors complaining that they will not accept user's unilateral changes, and ironically warning them about 3RR rule. This is simply someone taking over for a user banned for the same reverts. (see user talk from Reza1 to BhaiSaab asking for help). They are not answering any objections on the discussion page as to the relevance of the changes.

  • Despite the malformed request, I looked into this and only three reverts were made, therefore the three revert rule was not broken and no action will be taken. — FireFox (talk) 18:30, 27 August 2006
