The user had clearly engaged in an edit war and violated 3RR after being warned. TSO1D (talk) 02:59, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
This revert war is very silly. Adapt the information to the rest of the article, unless you dispute the content itself. Bad grammar is not generally the case for blocking (although yes, 3RR is). Is this a content dispute, or a revert war over the elements of style? Elle vécut heureuse à jamais (Be eudaimonic!) 03:01, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

The user disputes mentioning certain facts in the article. He was shown several reliable sources confirming these claims, yet he continued to remove these sources from the article. Alæxis¿question? 13:46, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

As one can see here I asked first on talk page to provide official sources. I gave time them to provide them. They failed to provide official sources, then I removed the content lines. Instead, he used as a provocation not to provide sources and to engage in edit war with me. Then he reported me here. Wikipedia can't let false statements that are not backed up by reliable sources. I provided the official link from Constitution of Moldova, taken from Presidency of Moldova web site.Sambure talk 13:52, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
Not to mention the poor quality of his sources, they are taken from a website, e-democracy, they are old, because the previous laws have been ammendated in 2003. I provided the official, reliable, verifiable source taken from the site of Presidency of Moldova. What better official source can one ask? And please, this is to the one who reported me here, stop lying because people will see the way you lie at the talk page and by diffs. Sambure talk 13:59, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

User:Mussav has repeatedly reverted the Mesopotamia page to remove the line "and western part of Iran", even though it is a sourced text and backed by several reliable sources. The user was warned three times about removal of sourced information[10], and 3RR[11], but simply ignored the warnings and kept reverting the page over and over. 07fan (talk) 19:24, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Second nomination against User:Sparrowman980 in a space of less than two weeks. As before, user insists on reverting to his preferred version despite discussions on-going in the talkpage which he fail to participate in despite repeated calls to do so.--Huaiwei (talk) 14:45, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

There is a bit of a lag between the violation and now, but I've blocked him for 72 hours anyway, due to the recent history of revert-warring on the article. There is also a possibility that his recent absence is due only to the Thanksgiving weekend. -- tariqabjotu 14:56, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
I gave him some lag time since his violation in the hope that he may redeem himself or something without having to nominate him immediately each time he revert-wars. Unfortunately, nothing has happened since his last revert, hence this belated nomination.--Huaiwei (talk) 15:00, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

The reverts were the result of a content conflict that should have been resolved by discussion, not by edit-warring.

The 3RR has been discussed on Patriotmissile's talk page within the last 24hours, and the editor has been editing wikipedia for about 6 months, so there is no reason to think that he was unaware of the 3RR.

from his talk page: Not all of the sources he added were of questionable verifiability. Though all the edits I saw were very POV. Perhaps now you can engage in dialogue with him about editing. Good luck. Please place another report at WP:AN/I if his edits are disruptive. Report to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RR if he violates the Wikipedia:Three-revert rule. Please continue to involve other edits and to seek consensus as you have done. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 03:06, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Page protected until the nationalist edit warriors find peace with each other. We really need a Macedonia-style arbitration to shut down the East Asian conflicts. east.718 at 16:09, November 25, 2007
Regardless of what User:Sennen_goroshi claimed, I had no idea what 3RR actually stands for. I didn't even know that it is an acronym of 3 repeared revert (?). By the way, it was the User:Sennen_goroshi who reverted the content before the status where disputes have settled down by administrators in the South Korea article. And that's the reason why I converted it to the point where disputes were settled down by administrators. Please check who is talking truth. As can been seen from various remaining channels, including user talk:sennen goroshi, and his previous contributions, anyone can easily tell what he has done to the articles-related to South Korea.
User:Sennen_goroshi and his seemingly colleagues, user:Jjk82 and user:Keyngez has made myriad disruptive revisions on only the South Korea-related articles here in Wikipedia. I think deduced from their selection of id and words they said, they are seemingly Japanese people who hate South Korea. I also found the User:Sennen_goroshi has abused other Korean user. i do believe administrators will make fair decision for a better wikipedia and for ultimate spirit of free upload in Wikipedia.Patriotmissile (talk) 19:24, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sennen goroshi's false accusation

First off, Patriotmissile has not violated 3RR. The reason why Sennen goroshi files this report because of his obvious anti-Korean sentiment and like this [[12]] and hatred feelings against me.

Judging by the above comments along with series of reports regarding his problematic edits, Sennen shows himself that he is not suitable person to contribute to Wikipedia. But he's ironically warned other people on the other side to which Sennen always conflicts.

He's never cared about the articles in which Patriotmissile and User:Jjk82 has engaged. I spotted User:Jjk82's disruptive behaviors yesterday. After closely checking on the references and links which User:Jjk82 provided and inserted on the almost 8 articles, I realized that most of them are duplicated bogus links. The seemingly external links turned out inner false wiki links which also JjK82 inserted and are not related to the main articles. Therefore, I reverted his edits and gave him warnings as other editors did to him. Today, Sennen was shadowing my edits so reverted some of my edits to User:Jjk82without any consensus to provoke me as he always does to me.

I believe Sennen goroshi is using my comment on Patriotmissle as a base to accuse of Patriotmissile violating the 3RR rule. Sadly for Sennen's attempt, by the time I left the comments on Patriotmissle, I didn't fully check on the revisions between User:Jjk82's and Patriotmissle's on the South Korean articles. Therefore, I left the wrong notice to calm down him faithfully dedicating to the articles. I have to apology to Patriotmissle for my wrong notice on the 3RR. Even if the Sennen goroshi's own rule and wish were applied to him, there should be mentioned along with User:Jjk82's disruptive edits at first. The editor was warned several times and even uploaded fake images of Seoul like image:Spaceball.gif. Anyone can check what User:Jjk82 and User:Sennen goroshi have done to the Korean related articles with their own issues on anti-Korean sentiments.

The report is even not in the required method. What an irony the person with serious Incivility issue and POV has been warning to everyone as if he were an admins. Please see closely to the case and the accuser's contribution history. The problem is that Sennen goroshi had been banned for his incivility and 3RR violation, but he doesn't even listen to other people's opinions and civil notices. He simply reverted the edits on his talk page [13], [14], [15], [16], but he's been overusing the civility card on contradictory to his behaviors. [17], [18], [19] [20], [21]

This is also references for better understanding. Sadly, Senne has been reported several times regarding his civility issue like leaking personal info and vandalizing for his revenge, but he's barely escaped from punishment. [22]

For the constructive Wikipedia, I think the disruptive behaviors of him should not be condoned any futhure. And Patriotmissile, please accept my apology to you. Thanks. --Appletrees (talk) 17:11, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi Appletrees, I think you don;t even have to apologize to me. I know you are a nice person and excellent Wikiuser. Please let's try to have horrible users disappeared as they deserve from Wikipedia.Patriotmissile (talk) 19:30, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
I will assume the above comment about "horrible users" does not refer to me. But in general, feel free to refer to edits as "horrible" ..well perhaps it would be more civil to refer to them as incorrect, but please don't use such terms to refer to users, "misinformed" might be a more civil term to use.Sennen goroshi (talk) 04:21, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Edgarde, along with another editor, is intent of running a smear campaign on a city in the Philippines. The Senate of the Philippines along with other law enforcement agencies have investigated these claims and found nothing. They ask for anyone with solid information to come forward. Despite this, a small number of people are trying to represent the fringe position that Angeles City is filled with pedophiles and sex slaves. Any attempt to put the actual verifiable facts from the governments of the Philippines and the UK above their fringe position is reverted. When material irrelevant to Human Trafficking in Angeles is removed it is also reverted back in. Edgarde is now soliciting help to revert to his POV. RodentofDeath (talk) 20:31, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Both sides are edit warring. Edgrade seems to me to have broken 3RR, while RodentofDeath doesn't seem to have technically done so, but is still clearly edit warring. I'd really rather see us pursue dispute resolution than have to give blocks, so I'm just going to watch the article. I will block any user who continues the edit war. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 21:23, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
If dispute resolution is already being pursued, can you be persuaded to give blocks now? Here 'tis: Wikipedia:Requests for comment/RodentofDeath. Have also requested peer review on the article, tho the article is changing radically so it won't amount to much. I'd request WP:30 or something, but considering recent Talk page discussion, RodentofDeath won't abide by any agreement. / edg ☺ ☭ 21:31, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
Given that both parties are edit warring, I could hardly be fair in blocking only one party. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 21:36, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

I understand the need to be fair. WP:DR is a joke with RodentofDeath; he flaunts non-cooperation. And other editors will fix the article — even if RodentofDeath were blocked, I couldn't fix it anyway. / edg ☺ ☭ 21:59, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
lets hope the friends you are asking to "fix" the article (i.e. insert misleading and false information while burying the facts) discuss the edits before inserting errors AGAIN. 3 months and nobody at all had a problem with the article until errors were re-introduced into it.

The user has repeatedly linked a blog entry in the external links section. The 2nd diff above was an attempt to also add a duplicate of the external link as an inline citation.

Please note that user Nyisnotbad (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log), previously blocked for this type of thing, has used the 68.5.250.146 IP reported above to post (here), as well as the IP 128.195.178.29 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log) (here).

68.5.250.146 has not made a violation. All three edits 1:43 and 1:46 on Nov. 25 were made in straight succession without a different editor in between, and so count only as one revert.

The user is not ready for cooperation. He keeps reverting few articles such as The role of foreign fighters in the Bosnian war, Fikret Abdić (more than 5 reverts), Army of Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. He keeps including unrelaible (propaganda) sources and removing other user's edits, and sources such as International court conclusion which is relaible per WP:RS. He was warned by few other users such as User:Sam Blacketer and User:Grandy Grandy.

User continuously reverts to a previous version made before hours of work were invested in improving the article and consistently ignores requests to discuss the edits. User then proceeded to vandalize this reporting editor's talk page by posting mass bogus/fake warning templates [26] (this also despite requests to stop) - displaying a new level of disruptive behaviour. Sfacets 17:30, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Simon D M (Respondent) reverted to last version by an administrator before the page was ransacked: mass removal of sourced material, replacement of neutral wording with POV wording and reorganisation of page by Complainant along lines for which there is no consensus. All the warnings were deserved and this can be proven, starting with provocative linking to off-site harrassment by Complainant's co-religionists of Respondent here. See the talk page for the supposed unwillingness to discuss, Respondent has discussed endlessly with Complaiant who has asserted the right to push his POV without supporting evidence. The page has been locked in the reverted state providing an opportunity for dispute resolution. Respondent has suggested mediation. --Simon D M (talk) 18:52, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Diff of 3RR warning: 20.55 (as I just discovered the 4th violation).

Kkrystian has been engaging in edit-warring on the article and related articles for some time now. This particular incident relates to the remoal of reliably sourced information about the article subject's personal behaviour, which Kkrystian disagrees with on account of his personal devotion to the subject in his real life. Potential conflict-of-interest issue here.

I also informed this user to discuss his changes on the talk-page (diff1, diff2, but user ignores requests for discussion and continues to revert back to his preferred version, removing reliably-sourced information. Other editors have also expressed dissatisfaction with the user's behaviour (diff1, diff2). - Ekantik talk 21:04, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

The 3RR warning is supposed to come before the violation. The purpose of that is to ensure that the editor is aware of the three-revert rule when s/he violates it. However, I'm not convinced that Kkrystian, having been an editor for over a year, is unaware of the three-revert rule. -- tariqabjotu 23:16, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

It is clear that multiple users are guilty of edit warring here. Though technically Thark violated 3RR, I will not impose a block since the page has already been protected against moves and blocks are not meant to be punitive but to prevent further edit warring.

Beh-nam reverts all my edits concerning Dari in Afghanistan aricles. I don't understand this user. Today he hastily stated that I would be a sock puppet[48]. And now he tries to get me blocked via this page. But it is himself who violates the rules. There are also other articles in which he reverted my edits all the time (and where I did not revert until now): Kapisa Province, Ghazni Province, Nuristan Province, Bamiyan Province. This is vandalism by Beh-nam (editwars) and also defamation as sock puppet.
See also my discussion[49] where I explained to him why "Dari" is correct and not Persian. Dari is the Afghanistan Persian. and not Iran's. I think Beh-nam makes political motivated edits. DreamOfJeannie (talk) 18:01, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

After reverting 5 times on the same article on the same day, I notified the user of this violation (20:51, 28 November 2007 diff), the user then strangely responded to me (20:56, 28 November 2007 diff and 21:03, 28 November 2007 diff) and continued to revert the article.


Please note that I obviously am new to wikipedia in the way I sign my posts and my formatting and please note that the page in question is the Asian Fetish page. Also there's a person by the handle User:Kaitenbushi who seems to be taking turns with User:Christopher Mann McKay to eliminate any materials they do not agree with from the Asian Fetish page and claiming that there are no material to support this material when there are many references on the page and many other pages on wikipedia that relates to Asian Fetish.
I believe I was purposely trapped into this 3rr rule which I was not familiar with. Also User:Christopher Mann McKay was sited for not updating the Campus Watch (a American pro-Israel neoconservative think tank) page in a constructive manner on 15:35, 28 November 2007. [50]
The following is a schedule of all the reverts that User:Kaitenbushi and User:Christopher Mann McKay did today. I would not be surprised if these two are the same person, which I would imagine is a way to skirt the rules.
I apologize to the wikipedia community for not understanding the rules and will reframe from repeatedly reverting the content of the Asian Fetish page. Sorry if I am going against the etiquettes by posting my comment here. Once again I am new to this.

The incident is that the article is titled based on WP:NC, Bandurist over the past few weeks made several attempts to "ukrainise" the page version without consensus, although the discussion is in process he does follow advice to cease edit warring. Previously he tried to Fork the article by eliminating the redirect [51]. In a similar dispute on Balachka, after the article was locked he created a WP:POVFORK on Cossack Ukrainian. He continues to use personal attacks against me, and numerously ignored my pleas for diplomacy. Now I know that its timeframe is outside the 24hout requirement for WP:3RR, but in any case I request that the article be locked, and/or Bandurist be given a formal warning to follow WP:CIVIL and WP:FAITH, it be better to have that than him blocked.

The alleged 1st revert isn't a revert to any previous version of the article. In fact, I have incorporated your input into the article: "It was performed to criticize the Korean nobility (Yangban)...." The alleged 2nd revert isn't a revert, either. I only added more info on the literal meaning of the term: "lit. the dance of the handicapped." The third and forth were reverts. As for the last accusation, there is a modern, more comedical version of the dance (that has caused the controversy) as well as a version that is more genuine to the tradition (and seems to be more accepted). Just because it is modern and comedical doesn't mean it's not "Byung shin chum." --Saintjust (talk) 03:34, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
no. before 4th edit. you did not incoporate "It was performed to criticize the Korean nobility (Yangban)...."(this article is still wrong)[58] whatever you say, you omitting normal article and only negative contents remain since first edit. and your incorporated edit is wrong, too.

The account was pretty active for about a week until september 22 than it became completely dead, only to return a day ago to cause trouble. The main activity of the account seems to be deleting a whole subsection of the Kingdom of Hungary article, which is simply a summary of content of the Kingdom of Hungary 1920-1944 article. Other activities include pretty heavy trolling/personal attacks [73] against multiple(3) people who reverted his edits.

  • No warning needed, at least one of the 8 times Maurice27 has been blocked (06:29, 10 April 2007) is explicitly because of 3RR violation.

Maurice27 added {{Globalizecountry}} template to the article. Then there was a discussion in talk page until 10 November 2007 (UTC). SMP disagreed with the inclusion of the template. After 10 days without any answer, he proposed to remove the template. After 7 more days without answer, he removed the template. Then Maurice27 reverted the action. The discussion was opened againg, but then Maurice27 didn't accept the current status quo (as the people who deffended to remove the template did when we discussed it for the first time), and he reverted 4 times.--Xtv - (my talk) - (que dius que què?) 14:12, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Yes, I remember that block. LaraLove recently blocked Maurice for this vio, but unblocked after seeing that he hadn't edited for a while [81]. I'm going to watch this article to see that the edit war doesn't restart. Also going to warn Casaforra, who has been edit warring with Maurice27 (not technically violating 3RR, but that hardly matters). Heimstern Läufer (talk) 04:13, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Thanks Heimstern. That's was exactly what I was going to explain. That I wasn't the only one to break that rule. Curiously, Xtv forgot to mention Casaforra's 4 reverts here. It would be very helpful if any admin explains if I'm right in adding the {{Globalizecountry}} tag as explained by me here --Maurice27 16:37, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Casaforra didn't break the 3RR, therefore I didn't report him. However I find appropiate that he is warned (not blocked, he has never broken 3RR and he has never been warned). Moreover I insist: when Maurice27 added the template, nobody took it out, we discussed in talk page but he disappeared. After 17 days without answer, the template was removed. Then he started the war. I think in this case he shoud have respected the status quo and discuss before adding the template again, as we did when he added. I just ask the same respect to us, as we had with him when he added the template, but we know with Maurice27 this is not possible... Btw, I think it's quite funny to unblock a user after 8 blocks and who has already been blocked because 3RR with the reason "Hasn't edited in 20 hours". Funny because during this 20 hours nobody reverted his actions. Of course he couldn't continue the war if Casaforra had stoped to avoid edit warring and the article was exactly as he liked! Anyway, the important thing is to solve the problem. So, let's find a solution in talk page...--Xtv - (my talk) - (que dius que què?) 22:03, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Note that RMHED incorrectly claims that their first edit is not a reversion [84]. However, Wikipedia:Three-revert rule states that "A revert means undoing the actions of another editor, whether involving the same or different material each time." Persuant to this definition, RMHED's first edit constitutes a reversion, since it removes content added by other editors. Additionally, RMHED has expressly stated their intention to engage in additional disruptive edit warring on this article: "I'll carry on reverting after 24 hours if I deem it right to do so." [85].

  • Sfacets is an experienced user who has been blocked before for 3RR and has made numerous 3RR complaints against other editors.[86][87][88][89][90]
  • Sfacets leans heavily on the revert/undo key. Yesterday, I was about to report him for a 3RR violation on an article.[91] I didn't, out of charity, but today, after his continued reliance on reverting, I think it's time to ask for a remedial block.
  • In this case, there is a user (Simon D M (SDM)), with whom Sfacets is in an edit dispute (and also a deep-seated, off-wiki, huge battleground opponent of his religious group-type dispute too). SDM placed a well-deserved NPOV editing tag on the userpage of a new user who is apparently also inclined to favor "pro-group" edits. Sfacets broke the 3RR by deleting that warning four times. When I posted a message on his talk page asking him to desist from deleting the warning again he deleted my post from his talk page without giving any response or explanation, and reverted yet again. That fits the definition of revert-warring.
  • Because this is a clear case of a 3RR violation with intent, by an editor who complains about 3RR violations by others and who has been revert warring repeatedly, I think this incident calls for a longer block. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 12:22, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
  • The last 2 reverts are comments on the tag/warning. The fourth revert was restoring his own comment prompted by Will Beback removing it. I don't really see this as being straightforward enough violation to justify any kind of block, although I agree that Sfacts' block log is a thing of horror and we clearly have some problems with the editor. I just don't think a marginal 3RR report is the way to deal with this. I wonder whether a wider discussion at ANI or a RFC might be a better way forward.

He says it's a "proposed policy", but it seems to have gone live, and even without a posting there it seems he has begun implementing his policy that "[e]dit warring needs to be stamped on as soon as it comes up"[93] by distributing "72 hour blocks all round", without waiting for such formalities as a consensus on increasing the penalty for a 3RR that is neither a "repeated or aggravated violation" (or actually a violation at all) from 24 hours to 72.

Three revert doesn't apply because a) changes were made by other editors User:SarekOfVulcan [101] in between my changes (00:01, 2 December 2007), which I did not revert. Furthermore, the first revert was reverting someone who the entire page (Vandalism) and put a forward message on it while a merge discussion was taking place.
A case could be made that by Guest9999 blanking significant portions of the article, when the {{Fact}} tag would have achieved better results, Guest9999 was vandalizing the article and therefore 3RR wouldn't apply. If it does apply, then Guest9999 also reverted the article three times within 24 hours and should also be sanctioned. Shsilver 16:48, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

The article is fully protected because of edit-warring over multiple disputes. The editor is using the talk page as a forum to promote his viewpoints in violation of WP:TALK, WP:SOAP, and WP:BATTLE, and has been warned about this. Editor is edit-warring over legitimate discussions aimed at reaching consensus on some of the information under dispute for which the article was protected. While this is a new editor, he's a WP:SPA that has ignored previous warnings and attempts at dispute resolution. I hope an admin will consider Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Macedonia#Remedies, as this is a similar type of disruption (a long-standing historical, national, and ethnic dispute).

  • I'm uncertain whether the violation is exempted by WP:BLP, but there are other users involved as well so I am protecting the page. Stifle (talk) 12:14, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
  • I'm sorry to post on a dead case (which was handled correctly), and I know this isn't a place for debate, but I wanted to point out something:
Above, Jaakobou quotes my text re: "Israeli representatives also initially over-estimated the numbers killed", adding "User has been unable to provide sources for his equating the actions of article's subject (palestinian) with those of his opponents (israelis)". Besides the fact that my text doesn't do this, Jaakobou sliced off my reference [106]. This source is a retrospective on Israel's media strategy in Jenin. The author is an IDF reserve Captain who had close direct knowledge of the events. He writes:

With Palestinian leaders clamouring "massacre" on all the news networks, pressure mounted on the IDF to give its own assessment of Palestinian casualties. The result was a ‘guess-timate’ offered by field commanders based on the intensity of the fighting. While our office was saying around 150 Palestinians were killed, I heard very senior generals say up to 200, and the press quoted Defence officials with numbers ranging as high as 250. These figures made the Palestinian claims of 500 dead seem within the bounds of plausibility.

Furthermore, I have repeatedly explained this to Jaakobou on the talk page: see Talk:Saeb Erekat#criticism. Either he simply did not read anything I wrote (possible) or he deliberately "juiced up" his 3RR report with conscious falsehoods (likely, I'm afraid).
  • Also, the timestamps given by Ynhockey don't match the edits. The first two are already referenced by Jaakobou and the third consists of me removing a category which was already included only a few lines above; see [107]. It's also interesting that Ynhockey showed up on Saeb Erekat all of a sudden to revert me after Jaakobou had used his last revert, although I guess it's possible that he noticed this 3RR report and followed it to the article in the space of nine minutes. They're both Israelis from the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, too, ([108]) and Ynhockey is an IDF military policeman, but that's surely just my paranoia talking. <eleland/talkedits> 20:01, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Osli73 is a user with a long block log. He was blocked many times not just because of his edit wars, but also because of "Sockpuppeteering and directly violating his arbcom probation and revert parole" as you can see in his block log. Now he created redundant article Bosnian Mujahideen based on WP:NOT and WP:OR sources, in order to move edit war from ona article to another, although there is already article with more precise and official name 7th Muslim Brigade, based on relaible sources, such as Intenrational court findings. His reverts are well known not just on this article but on others. I think it is finally time to block him for a longer time. Regards. The Dragon of Bosnia (talk) 22:12, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Reply from osli73: The Dragon of Bosnia and Grandy Grandy have taken up a campaign against the article Bosnian Mujahideen, repeatedly deleting the article and any links to it elsewhere. I have initiated Mediation as well as requested the assitance of numerous admins to help resolve the conflict. Despite this, The Dragon of Bosnia and Grandy Grandy insists on keeping up what I can only deem to be coordinated 'attacks' on the article. I would very much appreciate assistance on mediating on this article.Osli73 (talk) 00:37, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Comment

I think Osli73 should improve the existing articles, but creating a new article with the same topic and false terms in order to move edit war from the existing article to the new one isn't a good way for Wikipedia as it is WP:NOT content based on propaganda. As you can see he informed other users to join him in the edit war in a very subtile way: [109], [110], [111] etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Dragon of Bosnia (talk • contribs) 07:17, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

The sources are not relaible per WP:RS (political forum site, broken links and mailing lists are not relaible sources).

Let's go from the beginning:

  • Nettime mailing list - Post by Drazen Pantic on Tue, 9 Oct 2001 couldn't be verified as the link to the article is broken - Page Not Found. And it doesn't contain the term Bosnian Mujahideen. According to WP:Verifiability: "Articles should rely on reliable, third-party published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." which isn't the case here, to quote: "Propaganda, advocacy, or recruitment of any kind, commercial, political, religious, or otherwise. Of course, an article can report objectively about such things, as long as an attempt is made to approach a neutral point of view. You might wish to go to Usenet or start a blog if you want to convince people of the merits of your favorite views."
  • [www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1164071/posts This is an example of WP:NOT content] as it is a political forum, actually The Premier Conservative News Forum. On their site you can find what it is about: "Free Republic is the premier online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. And we always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah!". According to WP:NOT this shouldn't be here.
  • The Hadzihasanovic verdict Osli73 quoted actually discards all his claims about foreign fighters (that they were controlled by Bosnian army, but he didn't include the rest of the quote in the article.) I will quote it here: "However, the Trial Chamber could not establish that the Accused Hadzihasanovic or the Accused Kubura gave any orders to the Mujahedin and that those orders were implemented. Moreover, in the 3000 or so documents the Trial Chamber has analyzed, there is no combat report from the Mujahedin to the Accused, nor any other document which indicates that the Mujahedin were answerable to the Accused. However, in their combat reports, the commanders of the 3rd Corps units often complained of the undisciplined behaviour of the Mujahedin during joint combat operations. The Trial Chamber also notes that prior to 13 August 1993, the 3rd Corps war diaries hardly mention the Mujahedin."

  • Necessary for newer users: A diff of 3RR warning issued before the last reported reversion.

Your report will be ignored if it is not placed properly.

Jeff Gerstmann has been in the news over the weekend as he was fired from his rather predominate position at Gamestop after 10 yrs with a lot of speculation but both Gamestop and parent company CNET have stated they can't state the reasons for the firing, just that it wasn't for the speculation. As such, with WP:BLP, trying to keep the amount of info in such articles accurate and not wildly speculative or going beyond bibliographical information is difficult.

User:Toadstool1969 added additional information this morning that at myself and User:Spectre believe far exceed what should be stated for Gerstmann at this time (either it's newsworthy but not notable, or that it has BLP problems - it is not that this information is bad, but Gerstmann's page is not an appropriate location for it). The user did 4 reverts back to his edits, and while has explained his position on the talk page, continued to perform the reverts. I left his a personalized 3RR warning (above) after his 4th (so did Spectre), but he made the 5th revert after that message. Technically I would be at fault for also not mentioning that User:Spectre has also done 4 reverts in 24 hrs (to revert 4 of the 5 Toadstool reverts) but this, I believe, follows the 3RR guideline that information on WP:BLP should be kept free of speculative and potentially harming information, and thus Spectre should not be cited for this. MASEM 01:04, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Even if it did not harm Gerstmann, Toadstool's reversions included several unsourced statements about Eidos' actions, which I think falls under BLP (as companies can sue as well as public individuals). And while it's not a 3RR failsafe, there was too much weight on one action anyway. Will (talk) 01:15, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
  • I agree that at least two reverts are exempted by BLP. Stifle (talk) 14:13, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Never mind, read that incorrectly. Could someone else look at this? Stifle (talk) 18:57, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

If I am to have been considered in violation of the 3RR rule, then fine. It will be my first such violation as I learn the rules of the road on Wikipedia. However, I completely disagree with Sceptre's asked for protections under BLP. I read it and don't find anything I did to be outside of the guidelines. Further, it looks like Sceptre is a long-standing member of Wikipedia and I don't think he should be given any special consideration over newer members. His argument that some of his reverts should not be considered violations don't seem to jive with the guidelines. Either we are both in violation or neither of us are in violation.--Toadstool1969 (talk) 20:18, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

On the List of countries by Human Development Index article one editor keeps changing Côte d'Ivoire to Ivory Coast despite Côte d'Ivoire being the anme of the article for the nation of Côte d'Ivoire/Ivory Coast. It's user: Ostiferia who keeps reverting others who put the correct name on the list. Take a look at how many times he's reverted and its not just me he's reverted he's reverted other users too. He's says on the Human Development Index talk page that he thinks the decision to name the article of the Côte d'Ivoire/Ivory Coast nation to Côte d'Ivoire is wrong, so I told him to go to the Côte d'Ivoire talk page to discuss why it should be changed to Ivory Coast, but if you look at his edit history he has yet to do this. I also said that if he reverted again that I would report him to admins, yet he reverted again. Can someone stop this rebel editor? --Tocino 18:37, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I have decided to warn the users as it is more of an edit war and neither have been warned on this matter. I will monitor the two users and block if necessary. Tbo 157(talk) 19:50, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Well it looks like Ostiferia gets his way because the article currently has the Côte d'Ivoire/Ivory Coast nation listed as Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire) which is a re-direct. As I said it's not just me who he's reverted, he's reverted at least two other editors on this matter. He's using this article as a proxy for his fight against Côte d'Ivoire. I don't think he should get his way on this one. If he does then I can go to all of the articles that link to Burma and change it to Myanmar as I think the decision to move Myanmar to Burma was ridiculous. But do I take my frustration out on other articles? No. I don't understand why Ostiferia is allowed to do this. He's reverted 10 times. --[[User:Tocino —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tocino (talk • contribs) 20:09, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
You have also reverted over 3 times in the article. You claimed to be reverting vandalism but the edits you reverted was not vandalism. In this case you changed Ivory Coast to Côte d'Ivoire. This was reverted by User:Ostiferia who disagreed. This process continued with no third party input and so I consider this to be an edit war between you and User:Ostiferia. You have also reverted edits in other articles such as Hillsborough Disaster. Therefore I warned both of you and advised you to gain more input on the matter to try and gain a consensus. I may be wrong but you may have also reported User:Ostiferia to keep your preferred version of the article which would be a violation of WP;Point. Both of you may be blocked if this edit warring continues. Ideally no one should make changes relevant to anything in question. It should be discussed and a consensus should be achieved. Thanks. Tbo 157(talk) 22:22, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
I've made a little investigation and found out:
  • Neither Ostiferia's nor Tocino's reverts have been vandalism - as you've correctly said.
  • Neither Ostiferia nor Tocino have violated the 3RR, since neither of them have made more than 3 reverts within 24 hours (the 7th and 8th edits of Ostiferia's can't be regarded as two reverts since the version that preceded the 8th edit of Ostiferia's was the 7th edit made by Ostiferia himself).
  • Both Ostiferia and Tocino have been (legitimately) reverting more than one editor with regard to the same matter (Ostiferia has been reverting Tocino and Polaron, while Tocino has been reverting Ostiferia and Manstorius).
  • Both Ostiferia and Tocino have a good reasoning for either one's position.
  • I have suggested a compromise in my last version of the article. Meanwhile, this compromise is kept by both sides.
Manstorius (talk) 23:28, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
OK, but one thing.... Ivory Coast is a re-direct to Côte d'Ivoire, so because of this the compromise should be Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast). --Tocino 00:50, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
After having reviewed your important comment - I realized that my compromise was really insufficient - because it prefers Ivory Coast more than Côte d'Ivoire, i.e. it prefers Ostiferia's legitimate reasoning - more than your legitimate reasoing; However, your suggestion is insufficient too, because it prefers Côte d'Ivoire more than Ivory Coast, i.e. it prefers your legitimate reasoing - more than Ostiferia's legitimate reasoning. So, let's think together about a better compromise, such one which prefers nobody's position more than the other's position. You are invited to suggest such a better compromise in the talk page, and let's let Ostiferia as well suggest a compromise in the talk page, and we'll hopefully reach a common decision within 1-2 days. In order to avoid edit-war - the status-quo should meanwhile be kept - untill both sides accept your (or Ostiferia's) following compromise, unless one of you succeeds to convince the other party to accept one's original position.

User has a definite personal stake in references listed at Cold fusion since he is the librarian in charge of LENR-CANR.org. He seems to be totally unrepentant about his reverting as witnessed from this and this. ScienceApologist (talk) 19:41, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Update: Things have gotten worse. I have reported this user to The incident noticeboard. ScienceApologist (talk) 20:10, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Not a new user, was blocked for edit-warring before.

Gaming the system by slow revert warring just below 3RR over several days. Latest edit summary ([121]) indicates intention of continuing with these tactics. Parallel revert war on Skanderbeg. Nationalist POV-pushing (user is self-declared "fierce nationalist" according to their user page.) Recent Arbcom ruling in the Macedonia case is applicable. Fut.Perf. ☼ 16:31, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Not a 3RR violation. Taking the accusations of gaming the system into account I am issuing a warning and putting the editor on notice of the ArbCom remedy. Further breaches of same should then go to WP:AE. Stifle (talk) 15:56, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Barrow, Alaska (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs). Floyd Davidson (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log): Time reported: 17:19, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

User refuses to allow the fact that Barrow, Alaska was used as the setting for the film 30 Days of Night to be in the article. Continues to pare the fact down to one sentence and place it below the navigation template at the bottom of the page. Sourcing the material makes no difference, and he has said on his talk page that he will continue to revert war. Jeffpw (talk) 17:10, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

I can only see 4 reversions (I'm going with the 1st reversion as the version reverted to) but there seems to be a clear WP:3RR breach after a due warning. Edit warring is not an acceptable way to resolve disputes. I think a block appropriate in this case. WjBscribe 17:31, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:70.43.182.102 reported by User:Whoville (Result: semi-protected)

Repeatedly inserts POV criticism of grammar in children's song without citation. Has become belligerent when asked to seek consensus on article's talk page and use NPOV:

What I wrote is verifiable fact, and inextricably linked to any pertinent discussion of Choo Choo Soul. Removing it makes no sense whatsoever and is flat out deceptive. You can block me from this computer, but you cannot block me from any of the other 500 computers I have full access to. This isn't edit warring, this is a matter of biased selective censoring of relevant information to a subject and is utterly asinine. I am going to repost my edit once again.

—Whoville (talk) 01:37, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Either #1 or #2 is not a revert, depending on how you consider it, therefore there is, strictly speaking, no violation. However bearing in mind the IP's threats and so on, I am going to semi-protect the page for a week. Stifle (talk) 16:04, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

This material has been discussed on the talk page. User is revert despite on going discussion. -- Craigtalbert (talk) 06:35, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

removal of infobox that was already in discussion. user is new to article and conensus has not been reached. ussion. user is new to article and conensus has not been reached. user has a strong history of reverting and undoing the work of others. Armyguy11 (talk) 23:08, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

I just stumbled upon this, and it appears both users went past 3RR. History shows User:Armyguy11 and a different user had the same argument a few weeks ago. I would suggest full protection for awhile. Yemal (talk) 23:13, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
simply go to my user history. I did not violate 3rr at all. I was waiting for a reply on the talk page from other users and user:Plasynins starts removing the content without going into the talk page. You yourself have reverted the inserted userbox. [123] which is similar to the one that can found in the holocaust article. The rationale being that it is contained in the article, but similar information is contained in the holocaust article yet the infobox that hasn't been removed. Armyguy11 (talk) 23:19, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

I see a marked similarity in the edits of user:Yemel and user:playsins edits. The amount of undid's in their edits and the disappearance of user Playsins and the sudden emergence of user Yemel to take his place seems to be a bit more than coincidence. [124] Armyguy11 (talk) 23:29, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

You're accusing me of being his sockpuppet now?? Because we both use the undo button? Ok, I'm staying out of this now. Keep up reverting if you want. Yemal (talk) 23:32, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Haha, are you serious Armyguy? I should be the one reporting you. Actually both of us have 3 reverts each on these over 24 hours. And while the User Yemal is obviously not me (we have no history of editing the same articles, using "undo" is weak evidence), the IP who reverted me was clearly you. Anyway the history is clear, I reverted 3 times, no violation. Plasynins (talk) 01:47, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

yes you dissappeared and yemal showed up and reverts. how convenient! Armyguy11 (talk) 03:44, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Um... the four reverts have to take place within a 24-hour period, not one a week ago and the rest yesterday. Revert #4 is from December 3rd. No violation and please don't argue your cases here. Stifle (talk) 10:33, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

User has insisted on an edit war, adding in unsourced, unverified and original research material into the article despite consensus on the talk page and at WP:ANI#Hakka Troubles. This comment ensures that his edits will be solely to disrupt.

There have been six reverts today alone, and similar IPs have been installing the same text repeatedly. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 00:00, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

The page has since been semi-protected. However, Jéské Couriano made five reverts in a few hours on the same page and is blocked for 8 hours. Stifle (talk) 10:38, 9 December 2007 (UTC) I missed that Kafziel warned Jéské before I got to this, so it would be interfering in another admin's actions for me to issue a further punishment.

nationalist single-purpose troll with a history of disrupting a small set of Albania-related articles with clueless talkpage rants and uncoherent edits against consensus for many months.
