Comments:
It's been a while since I've done anything on WP, so this might not even be the right place to report this.

This all started on an Ars Technica forum thread, here: [8] The user knew his edit would be reverted, but someone obviously thinks it's funny to keep re-posting the same nonsense. And the "isgay" suffix is obviously a personal attack on Foolishgrunt.

I'm suggesting locking the page for a few days to keep the page from continued vandalism. -- TomXP411^[Talk] 19:06, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

Also Admin (it turns out) User:Prodego [9] just told him on his talkpage he was doing things wrong at this page. Acting like a jerk on User:Beyond My Ken's talk as well. [10] Legacypac (talk) 01:24, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

See Also: ANi they started Legacypac (talk) 01:37, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi there,

I haven't undone any edits on the Adolf Eichmann page that were made with any legitimate explanation. User:Beyond My Ken gave the following edit summaries for his edits:

1. No explanation
2. It's not a fucking EASTER EGG, it's a context-sensitive link. If you disagree, discuss it on the talk page DO NOT restore
3. you're an idiot
4. Still an idiot

Should I really be taking those edits seriously? I don't think it's fair to consider those as legitimate edits, therefore I don't think my revision of any of them should be counted. Therefore, I have not reverted any legitimate edits, and claims of Edit Warring are unsubstantiated.

Secondly, in the preceding comment above, User:Legacypac falsely claims I was "Acting like a jerk on User:Beyond My Ken's talk". This is an outright lie, as I have been nothing but polite:

1. User:Beyond My Ken gave an edit summary calling me an idiot,
2. I responded with an edit summary stating that this was inappropriate
3. He gave another edit summary calling me an idiot
4. I went top open an issue on the Administrator's Noticeboard, which said that I should try to resolve the conflict on the user's talk page before opening an incident, which I did.

Kind regards, InternetMeme (talk) 01:40, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

InternetMeme has apparently failed to notice that several reverts back, I re-wrote the disputed language to avoid the (non-)problem that he was edit-warring over; he just went on reverting, without really understanding what he was doing. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:43, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Your "Edit summaries" of those two re-worded edits consisted of:

1. "You're an idiot", and
2. "Still an idiot".

So the fact that I failed to notice that you'd altered your wording is entirely your fault. Use the "Edit summary" box to actually summarize your edit next time.

InternetMeme (talk) 02:27, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

There is also a 5th pointless change to the page by InternetMeme just outside the 24 hour window. I hate to see a block but they are not following advice and gave me a nonsensical response to my effort to slow them down. [11] Legacypac (talk) 01:47, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

• Note Now that they are talking I'm willing to withdraw this 3RR if User:InternetMeme agrees to withdraw the ANi and stop edit warring. Enough time has been wasted already Legacypac (talk) 02:16, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

My response was not at all nonsensical: You tried to say that I claimed the link was an "easter egg", which is not at all what I'm talking about. This is the core of the issue: I'm specifically claiming that it was a ""WP:EASTEREGG", which is a completely different subcategory of concept. People undo my edits saying "It's not an easter egg", having clearly not read the WP:EASTEREGG article.

Also, you're misrepresenting the whole sequence of events by saying "Now that I'm willing to talk": I was the one who initiated the discussion anyway, firstly by posting to Beyond My Ken's talk page (as instructed by the "Administrator's noticeboard" guidelines, and which he summarily reverted), and then by opening an incident at the Administrator's noticeboard.

So the statement "Now that they are talking" is completely misleading, making it sound like I'm ignoring the dispute: I've been talking all along.

At any rate, if Beyond My Ken apolgizes for calling me an idiot, and if you apologize for saying I was "acting like a jerk" (without providing any evidence), then I'm happy to let the matter go.

InternetMeme (talk) 02:27, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Most importantly, two of the edits I reverted were summarized as:

1. You're an idiot
2. Still an idiot

It would be absurd to blame anyone for reverting such edits, and therefore neither revision counts towards the 3RR

InternetMeme (talk) 02:29, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

I referenced a post to BMK's talk and your reverting his removal of that post as jerk like behaviour. I stand by my assessment. If you want to keep pushing ghis I can't help you. Legacypac (talk) 02:34, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

If someone complains about a user's conduct on their talk page, it's totally inappropriate for that user to whitewash the problem by simply reverting the complaint. Do you think it's okay to do that? InternetMeme (talk) 02:46, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

WP:TPG and you came to my attention because I watch his talkpage. Legacypac (talk) 02:53, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Ahh, that's understandable. So now that you're aware that he started the problem by calling me an idiot, you realize that it was completely reasonable for me to point out on his talk page that doing so was inappropriate? InternetMeme (talk) 03:05, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

• Comment -- Excuse me InternetMeme, but you're now edit warring on the Controversial Reddit communities article too. Just as you are over various other articles for the same pointy reasons. Frankly, I don't even know why you're editing on the project. Your edits seem all very pointy and not constructive. Your insistence on trivial matters while reverting other, established editors is disruptive. Stop it. Dave Dial (talk) 03:15, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

No, that's not the same thing at all. I'm not undoing the edit, I'm trying to combine the content the other editor thinks is important with the content I think is important. That's just about the opposite of an "undo": It's basic collaboration.

And don't worry: You don't have to know why I'm editing on this project. We probably have very different priorities, and it's therefore quite possible I woudln't see the point in many of your edits. As another established editor, I also get frustrated when other editors undo my work.

InternetMeme (talk) 03:23, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

May I suggest that you raise your concerns at the talk page where multiple users are reverting your edits. Koncorde (talk) 03:26, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Yes, I've currently been doing that when revisions of my edits have an explanation. But I feel that revisions that are unworthy of an explanation (or in particular, edits made with an insult in place of a summary) are also unworthy of discussion.

I will always either leave or try to integrate any revision that is made with an explanation

InternetMeme (talk) 03:41, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

You can't require editors to give detailed edit summaries - and the lack of an edit summary is never a valid reason to revert. You are hardly a newbie - you should know better. Legacypac (talk) 03:50, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Article is under discretionary sanctions status. Edit warring over content and sources, at least one source he claims is not RS, actually is (Daily Caller). Gutted article in question and then nominated it for deletion -- has been edit warring at it since. -- ψλ ● ✉ ✓ 22:56, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

I assert that my reverts were WP:3RRBLP exceptions, as evinced in my edit summaries. The sources cited for the material in question are widely regarded as poor sources for factual material, especially concerning living people. Some of them have been involved in spreading conspiracy theories about living people.- MrX 🖋 23:02, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

• No violation – there must be four or more reverts within a 24 hour period for the 3-Revert Rule to apply; the links you have provided do not meet these criteria. Winkelvi, your diff 2 and diff 3 count as one revert (together also with this). So that's three reverts, not four. And even apart from that, I'm inclined to exonerate MrX as the article is a BLP and the material he removed was poorly sourced. Bishonen | talk 23:13, 31 March 2018 (UTC).

And the discretionary sanctions status does not apply, either, Bishonen? -- ψλ ● ✉ ✓ 23:18, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Thank you Bishonen. By the way, I had no intention of continuing to revert regardless, as that would have been rather futile. I was in the process of requesting help at WP:BLPN, as I finally did here.- MrX 🖋 23:26, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Winkelvi Uh? This is the 3RR noticeboard. Is the article under any discretionary page sanctions, such as a 1RR restriction? (No, it isn't.) If you see somebody disrupting it, WP:AE is the place to ask for sanctions, invoking the discretionary sanctions for either American politics or BLPs, or both. I don't for my part regard Mr X's editing as disruptive, but try AE if you like. Bishonen | talk 23:33, 31 March 2018 (UTC).

I was asking for clarification, now you've given it. I'm not asking for sanctions, nor am I interested in forum shopping. If it's settled, it's settled. I have no desire to see anyone's head on a stake. -- ψλ ● ✉ ✓ 23:36, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: Ancestry; Why?

Comments:

His warring attitude is also demonstrated by his edits in other pages: (1) Stephen of Anjou: [44], [45], [46]; (2) Mary, Queen of Hungary: [47], [48], [49], [50]. @Surtsicna: could you comment the above report? Thank you. Borsoka (talk) 13:38, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Two Wikipedians, Surtsicna and Borsoka, constantly putting information that mislead readers. I do not why nobody stop them. Instead of them I use academic publications in discussion.

Borsoka use falsely accusation that I do not use talk page [51], then wrote I will not continue this childish debate on this Talk page [52]. See also this. Debate is impossibily with him [53].

Surtsicna wrote falsely that Władysław I of Poland is primary meaning of Władysław I Elbow-High [54].

If two Wikipedians would like to mislead readers, what can I do? They do not use academic publications, they are reverting my editions, they in real do not debate as I show above? How can I improve Wikipedia in this case? Swetoniusz (talk) 13:47, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Moreover, Borsoka did not talk page. He wrote Please show them [academic publications] [55]. Day before I cited academic publication that was base for my editions [56]. What can I do in this case more? I show sources, I use talk page, I improve wikipedia. Two Wikipedians insult me, do not use academic sources, do not read what I wrote in talk page and reverting my editions. Swetoniusz (talk) 13:54, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Comment: Yes, I wrote that I will not continue this childish in reference to his multiple statements that I am a liar. Accusing other editors of lying is one of his way of communication. Yes, I confirm that he has not referred to a single academic work proving that Władysław I the Elbow-high cannot be mentioned as Władysław I of Poland (which is the subject of the debate). Borsoka (talk) 14:04, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

1) As I started debate yesterday [57], Borsoka accussed me that I am ignoring debate [58]. There is only one word to describe your behaviour. 2) The subject of the debate that Władysław I of Poland in academic publication is also Władysław I Herman. I provided it and I provided that editions of Borsoka and Surtsicna mislead readers. As we see, last argument of Borsoka is clearly eristic. Swetoniusz (talk) 14:17, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

(1) Yes, you ignored the debate and made unilateral changes in other articles based on the same argumentation. There are several words that could describe your behaviour. Your behaviour is usually punished in this community. (2) The subject of the debate is whether Władysław I the Elbow-High could be shortly mentioned as Władysław I of Poland in an ahnentafeln if his name is linked. Borsoka (talk) 15:09, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

(1) Carry about standard of Wikipedia by using academic sources and do not mislead readers - there are word that describe my behaviour. (2) I see that Borsoka with Surtscina could name Władysław I the Elbow-Eight as Darth Vader, but we can see that a) academic publications with ahnentafeln use his nicknames, b) Władysław I of Poland is unclear name which mislead readers.

There are impossibly to reach consensus as in debate are involved only three peopole and two of them do not use academic sources and of them use. This is a question about principy of Wikipedia. Using academic soures or editing like Borsoka and Surtsicna want? What I should choose? Swetoniusz (talk) 15:42, 1 April 2018 (UTC) Edit: Borsoka with no reason and no sources reverted my other editions [59]. I feel tired of this. Swetoniusz (talk) 15:46, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Comments:

He doesn't seem to think that his edits are poor and wants his version of the article to stand. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:15, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Going straight to AN without even reading my talk page reply (which I was in the middle of posting) is a bit hasty, no? And the reverts to Mo2010's edits were simply removing non-free logos from the infobox, per precedent set at nearly every other football rivalry article here. The consecutive edits were made while this article was in draftspace and was being developed, so there's no leg to stand on there. As for the dispute we have, which hasn't crossed three reversions, I'd refer to my talk page reply and the references in the article (mainly this LA Times article) from which I derived my information. SounderBruce 01:20, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

It looks like this dispute may be over. If not, a spell of article protection may be needed. EdJohnston (talk) 05:02, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Are you kidding me? Seven reverts in less than four hours and we look the other way? If this isn't clear, unmitigated and unjustifiable edit warring I don't know what is. If SounderBruce doesn't get blocked for this I will simply point to this example if I'm ever brought to 3RR again. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:38, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

I'll add that most of the reverts were uncontroversial: my two reverts of Mo2010 followed 3RRNO sec. 5 (removal of clear copyright violations); my revert of IP 23.243.96.163 was restoring a sentence that is referenced from a reliable source; and my revert of Themonkeyboy91 was restoring the original accessdate in a reference that was changed without an explanation. I'll concede that the reverts of Walter Görlitz's mass deletion were controversial and warranted talk page discussion. Would rather discuss this calmly instead of clamoring for blocks and page protection. SounderBruce 07:11, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

• Result: User:SounderBruce is warned that some of his reverts are not covered by the exceptions in WP:3RRNO. Use WP:DR to get agreement on whatever is still in dispute. Since the war is not continuing, a block would not be preventive. EdJohnston (talk) 16:13, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
  • Now I understand. 3RR is irrelevant and anyone can edit war until an edit warring noticeboard entry is made. Provided that no edit warring continues after that point, the previous action was not actually an edit war. Please update 3RR to address that error in its explanation. Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:11, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

And another revert just now Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:35, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Per his talk page, User:SounderBruce has agreed to take a break from the article. EdJohnston (talk) 04:20, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

2. [64] This content has no merit to be on article, with a crime commited almost 20 years ago.
3. [65] I have started a conversation on this content. It brings no WP:NPOV to the articl, that a crime was commited almost 20 years ago using this particular weapon as apposed to any other weapon.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: multiple talk page discussions over several weeks at Talk:Doug Ford Jr.

Comments:

This has actually been going on for quite some time, and has been the subject of quite a bit of discussion at Talk:Doug Ford Jr. Nixon Now has been pushing to include (or highlight in violation of WP:WEIGHT) negative information about Doug Ford Jr., while suppressing information that paints him in a positive light. While Nixon Now has been doing this for quite some time now, in the last day he's really had a field day—I mean that's 7 reverts against 3 editors in just over 24 hours—and one of his edit comments is "Stop edit warring over this" (!!!). Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 22:08, 1 April 2018 (UTC) Nixon Now has had a previous warning over edit warring from the admin EdJohnston on on their talk page. Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 22:36, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

From March 12th. Nothing in regards to the claims you've filed here. Nixon Now (talk) 22:41, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

The IP is a single purpose account whose only purpose seems to be to edit war at Doug Ford Jr. and appears to be an existing editor who has logged out to avoid scrutiny. The third editor, User:Katy Park is a brand new account and appears to be a sock puppet. Nixon Now (talk) 22:19, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

I really don't want to be dragged into this. I am generally more interested in video games that politics. You guys can have fun with this one, I'm out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Katy Park (talk • contribs) 22:26, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

@Katy Park: it's interesting that a brand new account would be able to issue template warnings and make references to Wikipedia policies in their edit comments. Do you have any other more established Wikipedia accounts you'd like to disclose or should I request a CheckUser be run on your account? Nixon Now (talk) 22:31, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

And looking at their edit histories I see that User:Katy Park and User:Curly Turkey share an interest in video games. Nixon Now (talk) 22:46, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Are you accusing me of socking, Nixon Now? My edits to video game articles account for barely a rounding error in my nearly 90,000-edit edit history. Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 23:00, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

I'm accusing the IP and Katy Park of being socks. The fact that you and Katy share interests is interesting but not conclusive without a CheckUser. Nixon Now (talk) 23:06, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

What's "interesting" is how you keep playing with words like this. Your comment demonstrates the bad faith you've been engaging in all along—only making you look that much more guilty of POV-pushing editwarring on that page. Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 23:26, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Given that I have been restoring the consensus wording you should reconsider your POV allegations in light of your own editing. Nixon Now (talk) 23:51, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

"in light of your own editing"?!? First you imply I'm socking, and now you're trolling that there's something suspicious (but unnamed) about my editing. You've been doing this all over the talk page as well. Are you hoping this FUD will draw away from your editwarring and POV-pushing? Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 03:13, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

You've consistently edited against consensus, pushing your own POV, and been obstructive and rude in your comments, continually engaged in personal attacks, and been uncivil even to the point of swearing.[77] Nixon Now (talk) 03:45, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

That's you're evidence? Meanwhile we have actual diffs of your disruption here on the page. Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 04:37, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

It's clear evidence of your incivility. As for the reversions, you haven't denied that the IP user or the new user who were reverted appear to be socks. You also haven't shown a warning or attempt to resolve the dispute made during the period in question - you had to reach back several weeks for a warning and make vague reference to ongoing Talk page discussions that occurred outside of the time period in question. And while you claim repeatedly that I am POV pushing, the wording I've reverted to is neutral. Repeating an untruth does ad nauseum does not make it true, it only shows that you're violating WP:AGF over and over again. Nixon Now (talk) 04:44, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

This is one long non sequitur—and the "incivility" is your evidence-free accusation that I've been socking. If this continues after your editwarring has been dealt with, we'll continue at ANI. Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 06:48, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

A shared interest in 16th century Austrian badger taxidermy would be suspicious. An interest in video games is simply indicative of living post-1978 in a country with an electricity supply. --DanielRigal (talk) 23:36, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

It's clear the IP and Katy Park are socks. Whose socks we can't say without a CU being done. Nixon Now (talk) 23:45, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

If you are sure it is clear then why not put in a SPI case and see what that turns up? (Just don't complain if what it turns up is a boomerang.) --DanielRigal (talk) 23:58, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Done, but I'm not sure it's an acceptable request without naming a suspected sockpuppeteer. Nixon Now (talk) 01:27, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Right, so as I thought SPI was the wrong venue as I can't name a suspected sockpuppeteer. @DanielRigal: do you have any suggestions for what the appropriate venue would be? Nixon Now (talk) 02:29, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

To summarize, I had and have a good faith belief that the IP and User:Katy Park are sockpuppets given their editing and given the fact that editing of that article has been plagued by socks (see User:Soulspinr). It is my understanding that socks are to be reverted on sight and that such reversions don't count towards 3RR. I've stated my good faith belief that the two editors are socks several times and the complainant has neither refuted it nor even disagreed with it (other than stating he is not the sockpuppets). Nixon Now (talk) 13:14, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

• Note At ANI now. Curly Turkey, I have also removed the material Nixon Now was removing with some of their reverts. See WP:CLOP as most of the sentence was lifted from the source. NeilN ^{talk to me} 14:02, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

• @Nixon Now: Small correction: IP's aren't "confirmed" to be socks of registered editors. "Confirmed" has a special meaning when dealing with socks and it relates to when a checkuser confirms registered accounts are sock masters/puppets of other registered accounts by using technical evidence. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 16:29, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

• Involved admin note - I suggest this be closed with a warning or with no action. The revision history of the article in question is a mess thanks to disruptive editing by the sockpuppets, there are various POV warriors screaming over things being added (or removed) which have been present in (or absent from) the article for years, nobody can really tell who added what or who reverted who, and blocking one editor in the ongoing dispute isn't going to help matters. If anyone feels that the present activity is disruptive they should be requesting full protection; it has worked on this article in the past. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 18:21, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Comments:

In addition to edit warring, the editor has engaged in attacking other editors (outlined in the article talk page) and has failed to actually address his edits, other than in disruptive ways. His attempt at a justification for his four reverts on the article talk page was really just a series of insults. freshacconci (✉) 03:25, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Note that I explained my edits on the edit summary and on the talk page. Note that this editor has not attempted to explain why they reverted, either in edit summaries or on the talk page. Note that instead they lied in edit summaries, on the talk page and now here, absurdly claiming that I did not explain my edits right underneath the explanation. Note finally that the edits I made are absurdly straightforward and obviously necessary. Why is this guy going to such lengths to undo them? It is completely irrational. 167.98.54.59 (talk) 03:31, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Haha and they post a link to my talk page contributions which they simultaneously deny I even made as their attempt to resolve the dispute! That really is amazingly childish. 167.98.54.59 (talk) 03:35, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

(Actually, those links go to my comments, not yours). freshacconci (✉) 03:42, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

You've made no attempt to explain your reverts or resolve the dispute. You attempted to pretend otherwise with those links. That is extremely dishonest. 167.98.54.59 (talk) 03:48, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

• As an additional note, my first revert here was for an edit that was an unexplained revert. With that edit, this IP editor began attacking me. His "explanation" only came after being warned for disruptive editing and note that with each edit to the talk page, to my talk page, to his own talk page, and to the article talk page, it came with an insult. One of User:Poeticbent's edits indicated that this IP is a sock for a block-evading editor. I have no idea. My main issue was the disruption with no explanation: this IP address gave no edit summary with the revert of Poeticbent. That's what I was reacting to. With the aggressive insults and 4 reverts, it was clear to me that this was a disruptive editor. freshacconci (✉) 03:38, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

you chose to attack me. You didn't bother to look at the edit history and see that "poetic bent" had undone two clearly explained edits for no reason. You just decide to undo them for no reason yourself, several times, because you're not here to build an encyclopaedia. You still haven't come up with a reason for reverting and you're still lying in a most disgusting way about me. 167.98.54.59 (talk) 03:48, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

• This IP, the IP 84.252.228.237 and blocked sockpuppet User:Beluuga are apparently the same editor, so it is a case of block evasion. Looking at the article history, all three use the same wording and have the same concerns. And apparently it all leads to this: Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Best known for IP. He has a history. A long history. freshacconci (✉) 03:52, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

More lies.167.98.54.59 (talk) 03:55, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

In my view, editing so that articles comply with the policies and guidelines of the encyclopaedia is productive, and undoing such edits is disruptive. You can see that this guy believes exactly the opposite. 167.98.54.59 (talk) 03:55, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Note that under "Diffs of edit warring / 3RR warning", the user lists a dishonest claim of vandalism that they made against me. Their whole report is dishonest. And still no explanation of what they objected to about my edits. 167.98.54.59 (talk) 03:59, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

• Result: Blocked 48 hours, and page semiprotected two months. This appears to be sockpuppetry by WP:BKFIP. See Beluuga's block log. The IP at 167.98.54.59 may qualify for a {{webhostblock}} since it is part of a range operated by https://exponential-e.com. But since he jumps IPs this may not do much. For this particular article, some of the IP's suggestions look reasonable. EdJohnston (talk) 04:02, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

As I noted above, my concern (as I wasn't familiar with the larger dispute) was with the edit without explanation, which lead immediately to the incivility. I'm sure this can be hashed out at the article talk page. freshacconci (✉) 04:05, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

This user has made a large number of edits, and I cannot immediately see one that has not been reverted. This includes bizarre edits such as [79], which defy categorisation in combining vandalism/mass typos, with persistently ignoring MOS. The user has also, AFAICS, never responded to any suggestion on the talk page. So blocking would surely save a lot of bother. Imaginatorium (talk) 15:11, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: see detailed discussion below (with diffs) and WT:WikiProject Classical Music.

Comments:

Background (copied and then modified from WT:WikiProject Classical Music)

• User:Francis Schonken has been editing against WP:consensus for quite a period at Keyboard concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach. These almost exclusively concern whole sections created almost entirely by me. His modus operandi involves targeting BWV 1052, BWV 1053, BWV 1057 and BWV 1044, chosen at random. He has attempting to move those sections to new articles and replace them with some undetermined sub-stubs. Francis Schonken has decided that the edits to the new articles with his preferred format with no choice left to others. None of these have any changes have any consenus. The random edits seem to be some form of WP:HOUNDING.

On March 2018 he was involved in similar edits where he made 3 consecutive edits in one 24 hour period. He has accused User:Softlavender and me of tag-teaming, but it appears that he has just been trying to circumvent consensus. Soflavender is an experienced editor who has quite a lot of experience with classical music. Francis Schonken has a history of editing in this way, i.e disruptive edits and a pattern of targeting particular users. On many occasions Softlavender has explained to Francis Schonken how consensus works, but he has continually ignored that per WP:IDONTHEARTHAT.

In 2016 he was topic-banned for 6 months for edits on Orgelbüchlein.

Similarly in January 2017 there was a report at WP:ANI where large parts of article were moved around. All of those edits were reverted and changed to redirects by a large number of editors.

That conduct is continuing now. Mathsci (talk) 03:00, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

Current edit-warring.

On WT:WikiProject_Classical_music#Split_proposals_regarding_Keyboard_concertos_by_Johann_Sebastian_Bach there was a proposal to make changes to 4 sections of the main sections all written by. None of these had any WP:consensus. In the talk page, Schonken was warned several times that consensus was against him, but ignored that. User:Softlavender explained that there was no consensus for this on the talk page, but was ignored on the talk page. Indeed Francis Schonken accused Softlavender and me of being involved of tag-teaming. He made threats here on Softlavender's talk page[122] and also to Softlavender in the talk page of the article.[123] That was carefully explained by Softlavender.[124] but ignored by Francis Schonken.[125] Francis Schonken made a proposal towards me which I did not agree with.[126] He was warned about that.[127] He then tried to trick me in my response.[128] I was quite clear about that was not interest in his initiatives.[129] He then went ahead without any consensus. [130][131]

On this page Francis Schonken wrote:[132]

Your collaboration with Softlavender has been dismantled as a WP:tag team (see above #Wolff's view on the original version of BWV 1052): it was a perversion of WP:CONSENSUS, for clarity, quite the opposite of a consensus. There was no opinion by Softlavender based on content, and even less on content policy, and no opinion at all on what has been discussed in this section. This was WP:FORUMSHOPping 1.0, another perversion of WP:CONSENSUS.

The content guidance and policies in this matter, including WP:Summary style, WP:Page size and WP:BALASPS, as explained below, are quite clearly indicating a split here, and that option has currently support of 66% of the participants in this debate (see below). On content, you have no argument countering that apparent consensus, and your disruptive attitude (tag teaming, forum shopping, etc) further undermines the validity of your support for the option that goes against consensus.

On the talk page he wrote:[133]

@Softlavender: the WP:tag team guidance invites me to "keep in mind that in almost all cases it is better to address other editors' reasoning than it is to accuse them of being on a team" – only, I fail to see, as yet, a reasoning in your contributions to this page and its talk page. Here, that is, on this talk page, we discuss the content of the article: mentioned "specific changes" need to be accompanied with a reasoning why you think each of these changes should be supported or not: just listing them without reasoning does not suffice. I've given my reasoning w.r.t. the changes I discussed on this talk page: since you haven't given any valid reason why they should be supported or not your comments on this talk page have, thus far, been negligible, and indeed, rather indicative of tag teaming. Please address that situation ASAP if you have views on the development of this article.

He threatened me concerning Softlavender[134] and made a faux-AN3 warning after one revert on my user talk page.[135]

Francis Schonken has consistently been trying to make gigantic edits to large sections created by me.They have no consensus. He has tried to use threatening conduct to influence these edits but always against consensus. Mathsci (talk) 03:00, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

• Declined There is edit warring, but it's slow, prolongued, and limited among the two participants here who are also (albeit intermittently) slogging it out on the talk page. If you can't come to an agreement, consider Dispute Resolution. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 15:45, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
  • Comment. Three users have been involved (User:Francis Schonken, User:Softlavender and me). Softlavender is periodically away from wikipedia: that seems to have been part of Francis Schonken's "calculation." Prior to the stable version, Francis Schonken made 3 reverts in 24 hours on Harpsichord Concerto in A major, BWV 1055 (a highly unstable fork article): [136][137][138]. Here Francis Schonken waited for a few days to resume editing; he then made colossal edits in the small hours, when most were sleeping. Exactly the same thing happened in January 2017 (colossal changes, reverts in the small hours, no consensus, etc): Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive944#Disruption_by_Francis_Schonken.

Disruption and edit warring at AfD. Was warned to not revert disruptively again at his talk page here. Has not exceeded 3RR, however, his actions are intentionally disruptive and serve no purpose other than to further inflame. Personal attacks and completely off-topic discussion in an AfD are not helpful, yet this editor feels his comments should stay uncollapsed and is intentionally edit warring to make that happen. Has less than 1200 edits, possibly a warning for this newbie's future reference is needed here to send the message that such behavior is unwanted. -- ψλ ● ✉ ✓ 19:18, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

• No violation AN3 is for clear-cut cases of edit-warring, and isn't to be used as a means of winning arguments over hatting. This is the latest in a series of incidents involving these editors, who really need to stop picking on each other. Acroterion (talk) 19:24, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

Sigh. Waste of time and sour grapes from the AFD initiator who wants to hide my pointed critiques of his flawed nomination. The first one is over an SPA tag from yesterday that has nothing to do with this, I chose to leave that alone and leave a detailed explanation in its stead. The other 2 (we'r not even close to the "3RR" bar here) are me trying to keep this guy from hiding comments he doesn't like. My comments were pointed and a bit blunt, sure, but they are 100% on-topic for a deletion discussion, as I provided policy-based arguments for why the article should be kept, and for why the nomination is bad. I have invited this Winklevi guy to strike his own comments if he doesn't stand behind them anymore, but mine are not a distraction, disruption, or off-topic. Note that his hatting also includes several cautions from an administrator (but acting in the role of an editor, not adminning) telling Winklevi to calm down and to stop attacking me. If he wishes to hide just those comments which the admin found fault with, he is free to do so. I would like mine, particularly the step-by-step deconstruction of his nomination statement, to remain visible. TheValeyard (talk) 19:25, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

As I am involved in the content dispute, I will take no action as an administrator. My friendly suggestion is that this matter should be dropped, both here and at the AfD. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 19:29, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

I offer this as a compromise. The bulk of the hat is restored, my last detailed critique is left visible, but a line in there that was off-topic is struck. Fair? TheValeyard (talk) 19:38, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

• Elchezinazo registered his username on March 27, and began to perform the same disruptive edits that had been made for months by a series of IPs from Dominican Republic. For instance, Elchezinazo and Dominican Republic IPs were intent on changing who was lead guitarist and rhythm guitarist for the band Slipknot, as well as changing the founding date.[153][154][155][156][157][158][159][160] Other edits in common between Elchezinazo and Dominican Republic IPs are Jim Root presented as something other than the lead guitarist,[161][162] "Wait and Bleed" released in 2000 rather than 1999,[163][164] and that a song called "The Blister Exists" was released as a single in 2006.[165][166] It appears that Elchezinazo is violating WP:MULTIPLE by editing both logged in and logged out, and he is continuing a long-running series of disruptive changes to music articles by IPs.

I would block Rwbest but I am WP:INVOLVED. He consistently WP:OWNs the small number of articles he edits, four separate editors have reverted his additions, he simply reinserts them.

I find your message on my talk page intimidating and I won't stop my attempts - see also m:MPOV. Guy (Help!) 16:27, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

I only try to improve the lead which is not a proper summary at all and unfair towards Jacobson. My proposed text, see User:Rwbest/sandbox, was removed many times. Even added sources in the main text were removed. So it makes improving the article impossible. Rwbest (talk) 09:29, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

Yes, removed many times by at least four different people. Which is the point. Guy (Help!) 10:26, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

For whatever reason this IP decided to undo my edit where I removed an excessive space in the infobox however whilst undoing my edit they also changed the article in the same edit (which makes it seem like I've made more changes than what I have), Having reverted them again I finally realised this was a LAME edit war so I self reverted so their edits remained and again made the same space change in the next edit, The IP has again reverted with "I'm not reverting it's just what this page should look like",

I will admit my self revert resulted in this edit summary which I shouldn't of said, I don't know if this editor is truly clueless or whether they're trolling however they're edit warring all for the sake of a space .....

I am not an involved party, just an observer. I have seen this “tag-team” reverting before between these two IP addresses and believe they are the same person, (I posted a query about this, which includes diffs and reasoning, per WP:DUCK, see here) I also posted notices to both IP user talk pages regarding the use of multiple IPs. Notice that 91.* went 3RR, then suddenly 217.* immediately reverts the exact same edits 3 times as well. But as it again reverted, 91.* comes back making a 4th revert (marked as "vandalism"), meaning 91.124.117.29 alone is at 4RR, but the two combined are at 7RR in the space of approx 10 hours. The other party in the edit-war, User:92.251.156.230 also passed 4RR, but they at least tried to resolve this on talk pages before the article was locked down. 91.* is a regular contributor here (as is 217.*) to the point that others have suggested they register an account. (This could be the reason they don't?) If I need to file an SPI as well, please let me know. Thanks - ^theWOLFchild 23:47, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

• Note: while this report sits here, this user (as 91.124.117.29) has gotten into 2 3 different edit wars, going at least 3RR twice three times against multiple editors at 2018 World Snooker Championship (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs). FYI - ^theWOLFchild 20:38, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

• Result: Semiprotected two months, due to the apparent IP-hopping edit war. The two IPs are both from the Ukraine and they are taking turns to make the identical revert at Snooker season 2017/2018 (changing the background color in a table to 'lightblue'). Semiprotection has been applied to this article for various periods since March 15, indicating a long-term problem. EdJohnston (talk) 03:57, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

As you can see at IP91's talk page, and at Talk:2017 in spaceflight, I have interacted recently with this editor, and can vouch for their good faith. I have not seen IP217 in our line of work. In any case, a stern reminder of our WP:EW policy may be useful for both of them. — JFG ^talk 08:51, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Comments: Volunteer Marek is very well aware that Syrian Civil War articles fall under 1RR: [183], [184] and [185]

He has now gone past 1RR while there's an ongoing discussion on the talk page, which he is also well aware of: [186] and [187]

Quote the policy: "Editors are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction when reverting logged-in users". The second revert is a revert of a non-logged-in user [188]. 1RR on Syria related topics does not apply to reverting the multitudes of throw away accounts and likely sock puppet IPs which plague the topic area.

And as far as "attempt to resolve dispute", it probably would have helped matters if Fitzcarmalan didn't initiate the discussion with a slew of personal attacks [189]. WP:BOOMERANG.Volunteer Marek (talk) 22:45, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

Frankly, I wasn't aware of the fact that accounts needed to be logged in for 1RR to apply. I also took WP:IPHUMAN into consideration, and have to remind Marek that allegations of sockpuppetry "plaguing the topic area" are serious and should be backed by evidence, especially when it concerns a topic which he doesn't frequent that much. Anyway, I'm not withdrawing this, given that Marek seems to think that a BOOMERANG is on the table. So this is for the admins to decide. Fitzcarmalan (talk) 23:38, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

Yes, "IPs are human" (a wrong headed essay, not policy). And so are trolls, indef banned users, sock puppets, vandals and and all sorts of disruptive users. And your point is? Bottomline, according to policy 1RR restriction does not apply to edits made by IPs and anon, and for a very good reason. Now, on the the other hand, WP:NPA does apply, especially to users such as yourself who've been around for awhile and should know better. And just as a matter of practicality, Fitz, do you really think you're going to get a productive discussion going when your very first comment is a personal attack?Volunteer Marek (talk) 00:37, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

If the IPs who reverted you are sockpuppets or trolls, report them. It's all can say on the matter. And I never realized you had such low a bar for "personal attacks", Marek. But yes, the remark was unnecessary, even if it concerns disruptive editing (which it did). It's why I initially offered to strike or remove it. Fitzcarmalan (talk) 07:43, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

I dispute the allegation that suggests the anonymous account was created or used by me to subvert the 3RR. I am new to Wikipedia, and was wrong to engage in an edit war; I was unaware there was a policy regarding the repeated correction of edits. I apologize for the oversight, and it will not happen again. However, the additional section created on the talk page was not placed by me.

User:65.215.114.50 keeps claiming that the Federal Communications Commission does not use the suffix -AM for licensed radio stations licensed to the AM band (kHz) and as a result they keep removing verified information that is properly referenced. A look on the FCC's database for several radio stations WFAN-AM, WGN-AM, KHJ-AM and so on that clearly shows that the FCC does indeed use the -AM suffix. I'd like to point out this is not the first time that they have been involved in a edit war, reverting edits or being disruptive. See their talk page for previous warnings from other Wikipedians.

User:ElKevbo reported by 73.158.170.153 (Result: No violation/malformed report)

Page: University of California, Berkeley User being reported: User:ElKevbo

Incident: User:ElKevbo has been engaging in constant edit wars on multiple wikipedia pages including University of California, Berkeley. There was some initial disagreements on the Emory University page to which we could not settle, thus was semi-protected by an administrator for any further edits. Upon taking the suggestion from another fellow editor that if the sentence, "It is often among the best universities in the world and the top public universities in the United States." has any issues we should take the discussion to Talk, I created a new section on the UC Berkeley Talk page outlining the exact issue and my point of view. ElKevbo has contributed once and the wiki community has not even reached a consensus, yet he disregarded continuing the debate and put the sentence up again on the main page. He is deliberately ignoring any further discussion that could foster a much more collaborative solution to this disagreement.

Following this post, I will undo the University of California, Berkeley sentence (to remove it from the main page) until a consensus can be made about what should be written. Until then, I urge user ElKevbo to continue his disagreement on the new section of the Talk page pertinent to this issue. 73.158.170.153 (talk) 05:23, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

That user has been warned and blocked for 3RR incidents before and should know better than to be trigger happy with undo edits button. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:41, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

• Please check the edits carefully, the same material is not being reverted.
  Essentially, this is a retaliatory report over an editing dispute -- see Talk:Holocaust denial#Propose removing the section on "Notable Holocaust deniers" (The reporting editor mistakenly thought that there was a consensus on the talk page to convert a list section to prose, and thus tagged it with a "prose" tag. I pointed out that there was no consensus (his characterization of the opinions was incorrect, therefore his math was incorrect) and reverted. He re-reverted, and I started an RfC to settle the matter, returning the article to the status quo ante, as is the normal procedure.) The other edits are from an earlier dispute with another editor, which I let drop.
  Note that the reporting editor, perhaps deliberately, did not include the standard request for a link to a version that was being reverted to, because there is no such version, because two different conflicts followed close upon each other. One, as I said, I let drop, and joined the other editor in providing sources per his "needs sources" tag, and the other, the dispute with the reporting editor, I opened an RfC to resolve. That the reporting editor chose to use this report as a weapon seems indicative to me of WP:BATTLEFIELD behavior, not of a good-willed attempt to resolve a dispute, which is what my RfC was.

• Unfortunately this report is correct and I have blocked for 72 hours. It of course does not matter if it is the same or different content which is being reverted. The editor's response above does not address their own behaviour at all. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:06, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

• @MSGJ and Beyond My Ken: 72h is a bit long, and I'd support an early unbock, if BMK promises to be a more careful with reverts. He is active in discussion, that's good, but reverting other people is not 'nice' and should be used only in extreme cases. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:27, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Comments: This user keeps deleting the Spanish flair of the page Basque Country (autonomous community) with a clear ideological purpose (I have the proof below) and he broke as well the 3RR rule in the 1st mentioned page.

I talked with him, and instead to talk with me, he reverted my changes, then I talked with him again, shown my reasons and kindly I restored my changes. In the page of the Basque Country, he broke the 3RR and as well his "no flair rule" since yesterday, I added all of the 3 flairs belonging to the Basque Country (autonomous community) page, which are the flag of Spain, the flag of the Basque Country itself, and the flag of Alava proof: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Basque_Country_(autonomous_community)&oldid=835670899 besides in the changes 835709996, 835746704 and 835752615 of this user, he only deletes the Spanish flag, leaving all of the other flags there.

I added all of these 3 flags, he says it is using a "no flag rule" (who made that rule? btw) yet instead of deleting all of them 3, it's just deleting the Spanish flag, leaving the impression it is just a political/ideological change, since it's senseless to use a "no flag rule" but removing purposedly only 1 flag, and it's well known this region had independence movements so it's a clear move in my opinion. For virtually any region or authonomous community of any other European country, the flags of both the country and region appears there, so Spain should appear on the Basque page, since don't showing it equals to a kind of nationalistic political movement in my opinion. The Basque Country is a full region of Spain, it's not a separate nation or neither has a special authonomy status.

I ask for mediation, and for a gentle warning to this user, since he broke the 3RR rule in the Basque Country page and almost broke it in the Vitoria-Gasteiz one, and his changes were enhanced by some kind of ideology (about the "flair rule" I don't know if it's a rule at all, or it's a very old one since I checked lots of cities and regions and most have the corresponding flairs) btw as when using that mentioned "flair rule", only the Spanish flag was deleted, but the regional and local ones were left. Three times the same, so it's definetly not a mistake but something done on purpose. --TechnicianGB (talk) 15:49, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

You clearly didn't try to discuss at all, TechnicianGB. All you did was say that they broke the rule and ran over here to report it. Also nice job with trying to be gentle:

"You just broke the Wikipedia:Three revert rule enforcement of Wikipedia and you started an Edit war. Be sure it will be notified to the administrators noticeboard" -TechnicianGB's edit.

Beyond that, I do agree that this clearly breaks 3RR and that some action should be taken for both of you. —JJB^ers 18:21, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

Update, they both violate 3RR. In other news, I gotta start relearning how not to keep messing up. SERIOUSLY, I gotta learn. —JJB^ers 18:38, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

Reason

See above. —JJB^ers 18:46, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

But isn't the 1st edit (12:23) something as a "half-revert" ? I only considered my edits as reversions after that one, but after looking at it again, it can be considered as a revert too, so we both made the same mistake. :/ as I seen before, I didn't seek for no punishment but rather for a mediation for the edits and flairs, I gave my reasons above, especially after seeing how only one single flair was removed, yet the others were left there. --TechnicianGB (talk) 18:52, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

1. 02:14, 10 April 2018 (UTC) @JJBers Public: This edit can't be taken as none revert as it's a mere edition on the page, these are the changes I made and what started this discussion. I just reverted twice in the page Vitoria-Gasteiz, check it again. I think you should reevaluate that again and delete it from above, since it is misleading as this is not a revert but the change which started this little edit war. Thanks. --TechnicianGB (talk) 18:54, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

I understand your reasons for removing it completely. Though, you and the defender both have dirt on their hands for the 3RR. I'm no admin, but meditation sounds fine in my book. Now time to break this up since you updated while I was replying.

The first edit you made does count against the revert war, at least from what I've seen before. —JJB^ers 19:01, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

I don't understand why it would count since it's what started this, I wasn't reverting no one's actions, just adding a small change to the page. Btw, it doesn't matter.

Anyways, I also suggest for a semi-protection of both Basque Country (autonomous community) and Vitoria-Gasteiz pages, and a reversion before semi-protecting them, since it seems a couple of new accounts were set up today for the purpose to continue the edit war. One of them is Depotverge (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) (which has edited both articles) and the other one is Vitoria85 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) (which has edited just the Vitoria one) both appear like false accounts to me, since both are brand new accounts which have edits just on these 2 pages, and are only following this edit war. I suggest to revert the edits of both of them before semi-protecting the page. Thanks. --TechnicianGB (talk) 19:32, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

Alright, point aside with that edit, you still violated 3RR on the Basque Country page. Also one of the socks have been indefed, so that's out of the way. —JJB^ers 00:01, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

• At Basque Country (autonomous community) I count four reverts by User:TechnicianGB (starting at 02:11 on 10 April) but only three by User:Akerbeltz (starting at 09:23 on 10 April). In my opinion, a block of TechnicianGB should be considered unless they agree to take a break from adding or modifying flags for a period of two weeks. EdJohnston (talk) 00:59, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

@EdJohnston: can you check it again, since the edit at 02:11 on 10 April is not a revert but an edition on the page, so it can't be counted as a revert. Indeed, I recognise I did a mistake as well, both of us made 3 reverts there, I don't know why I did the 3rd revert after all. Btw, that sock account reverted my last edit as well, so that action should be immediately reverted since it's the already blocked sock account which did it, not one of us.

I only did this for arbitration, for a 3rd party to have an opinion, I never seeked a block for Akerbeltz. But since this user is saying he is using a "no flag policy" but left the others except the Spanish flag, while I added them all, before my edit no flag was there, yet only the Spanish one was removed and the others were left, so this is not at all using that policy but more an ideological movement. I see completely out of the way a temporary block on my account for doing 3 simple reverts, as both of us did 3 reverts and we took the right way to present it here, I don't want to have my account messed by a block for something I've made just intended to have an arbitration on this. I am ok not to modify it but please revert the changes of that already blocked sock account on that article, I mean this https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Basque_Country_(autonomous_community)&diff=835782915&oldid=835753457 and I agree to leave it how it is and to not touch it for the period EdJohnston said if someone undones this edition done by "Depotverge", thanks. --TechnicianGB (talk) 14:29, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

• Result: User:TechnicianGB is warned they may be blocked if they make more reverts about flags on Basque-related articles without first getting a talk page consensus in their favor. I'm also semiprotecting both of the articles reported here due to the possible sockpuppetry. Depotverge (talk · contribs), a newly-created account which made a flag-related edit, is now the subject of a checkuser block by User:Courcelles.

• François stopped after being warned. He is also active on the talk page. The 64-bit IP in flux has not been active on the TP (as the 64 bit IP at least) and has been making rather POVish large changes to the article. François should have minded his revert count, however he has been pushed here.Icewhiz (talk) 18:23, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
• The IP editor has been making repeated disruptive edits, bordering on vandalism, without discussion and without explanation. Reverting vandalism does not break 3RR. I've asked the IP editor to identify twice [260][261], eventually asking for page protection (granted) and sockpuppet investigation (under consideration). The editor seems to be trying to retaliate, rather than seeking consensus. Vandalism and disruptive editing are (or at least should be) of interest to the community; I've no intention of squabbling with the IP user, which is why I've engaged both the article editors, outside veteran editors, and WP:RPP/WP:SPI. François Robere (talk) 18:56, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

François Robere needs to realize that this attitude is going to result in another block sooner or later. If the changes are that objectionable, other editors will revert them. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 18:42, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

• Warned Being discussed at ANI. François Robere, the diffs you provided stretch back for a week and no one has reverted as much as you. You need to drop the notion that you are somehow the guardian or caretaker of disputed articles. NeilN ^{talk to me} 13:57, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

They stretch back a week because that's how long the IP editor has been around.

I don't consider myself the "guardian" of that page. I haven't blocked a single sourced edit, as outrageous as it may be, instead tagging or asking for clarifications [265][266]; I haven't imposed my POV when my sources were found unsatisfactory, and instead opened an RFC [267]; and I haven't "warred" with any of the "usual" editors, even when they continuously reverted my edits without explanation, instead challenging them on the talk page [268][269][270]. And now, when an anonymous editor comes up and make frequent disruptive edits, and refuse to identify and discuss, and I go by community guidelines and file an RPP and an SPI, this isn't enough either.

P.S.: And if the lack of edit summaries is part of the issue too, I'll do that from now on. The Replicator (talk) 21:23, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Most of those reverted edits are 'technically' live updates (matches finished but statistics have not yet been updated by UEFA itself), which WikiProject Football do not encourage. They are correct but also unsourced and unverifiable. I think Replicator did not commit 3RR here. Centaur271188 (talk) 22:16, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

@Centaur271188: Yes, now that I think of it, those edits are essentially as disruptive as live updates. The Replicator (talk) 10:31, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

This is a long term problem. This was previous restored here: [280] and several other times:

• [281] tag teaming by Khiruig here, reverted by Needbrains here [282]

A talk page discussion was started by User:EtienneDolet on March 28th. Two editors Beshogur and myself objected to the content and gave numerous policy based reasons, including misrepresentation of the WP:RS. Etienne's final talk page comment was made on 17:42, 28 March 2018 (UTC).

Etienne restored the disputed edit after opening the talk page discussion at 16:28, and then when it was not reverted, stopped responding to talk page discussions.

The last comment on talk was made by me on March 29th — I waited for a reply and then removed the content here on April 3 based on the fact that two editors had disputed the edit and Etienne had stopped responding to talk page discussions. Etienne accused me of disruption and restored the edit at 20:10, April 3, 2018], without additional comment on the talk discussion. I requested that Etienne self-revert and issued a warning for personal attacks/ABF on usertalk here [Etienne removed the edit summary] and said that WP:ONUS did not require him to justify inclusion, even though two editors had disputed the edit on policy ground on the article talk page.

I waited to see if there would be any further developments on the article talk page. When there were not I once again attempted to remove the edit on 17:11, April 12, 2018] which Etienne reverted within 15 minutes [283] saying in her edit summary "non-responsive"? There's a discussion about this on the TP. - which no one has responded to since my last comment on March 29th, and the only two editors who commented besides Etienne have supported removal.

I issued an edit warring warning here [284] which Etienne removed from talk with edit summary one revert is not "edit-warring"...if that were the case, you'd have to warn yourself as well... - I am filing this complaint based on WP:GAME and Etienne continuing to revert without engaging in discussion while "his" version is in the article over the objections of two editors (And a third who reverted Khiruig's tag teaming).

Thus account is not engaging in talk discussion, just adding the same, poorly sourced facts (fake news...) to the article. Considering the disruptive attitude and spreading of fake news, I'd suggest that the admin reviewing this errs on the 'longer ban length' choice. PS.

Chris Evert's Grand Slam History (Result: Declined – malformed report)

Please review this article and the edit war that has been instigated by Fyunck(click) and now being pursued by Septrillion. This article is a hagiography written by a fan of the player and is a unique entry into the entire wikipedia space. No other tennis player has any such article related to them on the site, least of all written as a fan adoration page by an acolyte. Fyunck(click) has stated that the page should exist because the subject is one of the greatest players of all time. So where are the corresponding pages for Martina Navratilova, Steffi Graf, Billie Jean King, Serena Williams, Roger Federer, Pete Sampras, Rod Laver and on and on and on? There are no such pages for any of these players. A page already exists entitled "Chris Evert's Career Statistics, that covers all of the same information, only in a neutral form, without the gushing adoration used in the article. I have suggested the article be reviewed for deletion, yet Fyunck(click) continually removes the request without contributing their argument. Septrillion is now supporting them and between them they are in excess of the 3RR rule. Fyunck(click) keeps posting abuse on my talk page without constructively responding to the matter in hand. 93.35.84.103 (talk) 12:56, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

Please consider taking a look at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RRArchive334#User:Saleh Hamedi reported by User:Pahlevun (Result: Protection), that was ruled out by EdJohnston: Due to concern about possible socking, I've placed the article under extended confirmed protection for one year. Several new accounts with no other interests and good knowledge of Wikipedia have sprung up to defend the group that is the subject of the article. This seems like too much of a coincidence. A sockpuppet case is also awaiting a behavioural investigation. Pahlevun (talk) 16:06, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

This is laughable. Pahlevun has monopolized the page People's Mujahedin of Iran and won't let any one else work on it. He has already reported a SPI against me, and since that didn't work, he's now trying here. I've started seeking external help about this matter, so this noticeboard may be as good a place as any. I would suggest someone please look at People's Mujahedin of Iran: the page has a long history of COI editing and attack editing (the attack editing has prevailed for the most part). I propose that the page is reverted to an earlier version, before most of the COI editors became heavily involved on the page. I would also suggest someone place a protection on the page to prevent further vandalism. London Hall (talk) 16:27, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

User is still editing the article removing information sources and adding text written as an advertisement like in this diff. Paragraph starting with According to its website, Societat Civil Catalana, the founding objectives of the organisation are. Some of those revisions might not count as a full edit because they represent small changes. But the first ones removed entire sections of the article which I had to revert. Because of those removals I think he did commit vandalism and as a particular case edit warring afterwards. I have put three warnings for vandalism in his talk page but the user did not respond. Later on the user kept those sections and sources after reverting his deletions but he kept changing phrases, edits which I reverted too. Of special relevance are the changes regarding Somatemps characterisation. Their members are known for making neo-Nazi propaganda and organizing negationist events. In fact, that information appears in the section "Far-right relations..." (renamed to "Alleged far-right relations..." by Gargaroi). But he changed the wording from "far-right" to "Somatemps, which some regard as a far-right organization". Another single purpose user tried to push contents to the page, User:BarceloniUK, but his article drafts were rejected (User talk:BarceloniUK) because they where written like an advertisement. Maybe Gargaroi and BarceloniUK are sockpuppets. He did not write anything in the talk page, not until I first added the section "Vandalism". Filiprino (talk) 18:16, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [[319]]

Frankly, my attempts to reason with this guy have been disappointing, to say the very least. The subject of our dispute falls could honestly be added to the Hall of WP:LAME. I read this article and found a few things that needed fixing -- for example, that Kitsikis' map needed attribution (and he reverted this, inexplicably; two, there is no need for clutter of the Proto-Germanic etymology of the word "West" since hte page is not about the cardinal direction but rather a geopolitical concept that would have meant utterly nothing to the actual speakers of Proto-Germanic (also reverted by the IP, with some pretty flimsy reasoning and then calling this argument "vapid"). To this logic, he accused me of a double standard and being "illusory" with the word "Occident" whose etymology I had left on the page-- but this is a bit of a ridiculous comparison, as Occident is not a commonly used term in everyday speech and many people might not know what it means (unlike "West") so its etymology is helpful for that reason. Ironically he regularly accuses others of edit-warring, yet it is him doing the majority of reverting, in fact during the period above, he reverted every other editor to the article. I tried to reason with him on his talk page as well, but that was a load of disappointment as well, topped off with his assertion that 3RR is "not a core policy", allegedly because of WP:IAR (that's his argument) [[320]]. Overall, he reverts everyone and then accuses them of edit-warring and demands they use the talk page, but when they do he accuses them of "agendas" and doesn't commit to real discussion, and the points he's reverting often are as lame as can be.

If he wishes to contribute constructively to an online encyclopedia, this should not be done by knee-jerk reverting others. Softer methods have not worked because and he says "3RR" is "not a core policy" ([321]), I believe it is necessary to teach him he is quite wrong about that the hard way, with a block.

Furthermore, the page Western world right now is a cesspool of POV-edit warring not only by this guy, but also by another IP, and both of them seem not to get the memo that page is not about telling the reader what the "Western world" is, but should be about discussing the various different ways the term may be used (i.e. Greco-Romanity, European Christendom, the democratic world, the capitalist world, the developed world, the liberal world, et cetera -- all of these are different but overlapping entities).--Calthinus (talk) 17:59, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

How is a consensus reached when no one responds and the only reason they give is in the edit summary with something as vague as "return to consensus"? I'll stop reverting, since the article is owned by a few editors who don't want to see changes made and no one wants to update it to reflect current research data because it is contrary to their beliefs. Hopefully third party opinions came chime in on the article. But discuss on the talk page on why my edits were reverted, because I did use the talk pages and explained my reasons clearly on there. Also, no one raised concerns about me abusing multiple accounts. The one using the socks is this user here: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Latitude0116/Archive, but that's irrelevant to this.

On the topic of abusing multiple accounts, the section you link: Talk:Millennials#Cut_down_the_Date_range_section?, in support of your editing, was started by User:73.52.114.170, who shares similar editing history (and geolocates to same city) as IP socks of indefinitely blocked User:Phil A. Fry [334] --DynaGirl (talk) 13:24, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

Someone963852, you just made another revert to Millennials (your 8th revert in 24 hours) after just stating above that you would stop reverting. Per WP:3RR, this [335] is a revert because User:ScrapIronIV recently reverted to status quo reversing your edits placing prominence on the Pew Research source, and returned the Pew Research source to date order sequence. I'm not going to revert you, even though moving and expanding this is could be argued as undue weight. I'm just surprised to see you reverting again (for the 8th time in 24 hours) after just saying above you would stop reverting. Also, your claims above that no one has engaged at all or said anything beyond "return to consensus" in edit summary is simply not true. Multiple editors have engaged with you and/or discussed your edits on the article talk page including myself, User:Aboutbo2000 and User:Nathan.T.Medina. I really think it would be helpful if you could step away and stop aggressively reverting and wait for additional participation on article talk page. --DynaGirl (talk) 17:26, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

That was not a revert. The lead didn't change, nothing was removed, everything was what it is before. The only thing I did was expand on a source that was already in the article [336] [337]. But it seems like a bunch of editors (User:DynaGirl, User:Aboutbo2000, User:Nathan.T.Medina) are pushing a non-neutral POV as seen from their edit histories. Most recently, particularly from these edits: [338], [339][340] when trying to expand on an in-depth, reliable source. I'm trying to start a discussion on the talk page and the user talk pages, but no one is continuing to participate and only wants to revert the changes back with vague edit summaries. A POV noticeboard has been started over at Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view/Noticeboard#Millennials to seek neutral third-party opinions. Someone963852 (talk) 22:33, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

Someone963852, you had previously expanded that source as part of another edit, someone reverted you, then you expanded it again. Please read WP:3RR. That counts as a revert. Since then you have also apparently deleted content User:Aboutbo2000 added about Pew Research dates prior to March 2018 [341]. That’s another revert. Can you please start limiting yourself to 3RR per 24 hours?--DynaGirl (talk) 03:12, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

The edit that included the expansion was reverted by another user mainly because they wanted the unreliable, deleted sources back in the article and the lead back to the way it was, and reverting to that page included also removing the expansion since that's the easiest route to revert. But now that I'm not reverting the lead and unable to remove the unreliable sources, the only change I'm making to the article is adding details to the Pews Research Center source because it is the most reliable, up-to-date, and in-depth source that actually researched the date ranges and gave reasons why they chose the dates they did. The fact that the users above [342], [343][344] tried to trim it down, remove it, or add unnecessary disclaimer-like lines to the source is POV pushing.

Comments:
User was inserting overly detailed plot summaries that had long ago been removed by other users, so I reverted with summaries noting WP:VG/CONTENT and MOS:PLOT and asking them to discuss it on talk per WP:BRD. I asked on their talk page, as well. User instead placed a personal attack on my user page (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Xanzzibar&diff=836351722&oldid=627500258) and vandalized it (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Xanzzibar&diff=836366293&oldid=836358472), and place a threat/ultimatum on my user page, and then reverted my removal of it (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Xanzzibar&diff=836366038&oldid=827467426 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Xanzzibar&diff=836376636&oldid=836366550) demanding they be allowed to do what they want because of their autism. --Xanzzibar (talk) 16:48, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

Add in some continued harassment: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Xanzzibar&diff=836425676&oldid=836404327 --Xanzzibar (talk) 19:07, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

And they keep re-adding their threat after I remove it. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Xanzzibar&diff=836426072&oldid=836425907 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Xanzzibar&diff=836425907&oldid=836425785
