Comments:
User commented on the talk page only after making the third revert.
User also breaks repeatedly 3RR on War crimes in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, and fails to adhere to NPOV. AdrianHObradors (talk) 01:34, 5 April 2022 (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. —C.Fred (talk) 01:38, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
1. This is not a 3RR violation.
2. The content and context REALLY needs to be looked at so I'm glad that AdrianHobradors brought that here. My edit summaries address the problem. Another user, User:XavierGreen tried to add the claim to the article that two Russian soldiers getting food poisoning from eating some pies is ... "chemical warfare". Of course the source they provided did not say that at all (because that would be ridiculous). So right there you have misrepresentation of sources. I removed this stuff but then AdrianHObradors jumped in what looks like "payback" for the dispute we're having at another article [1]. AdrianHobradors reverted twice. They did not initiate discussion on talk (though I did [2]). Since AdrianHObradors kept restoring text which falsely misrepresents the source, they are at fault for the same policy violation as the original editor who tried to add this material.
3. Frankly, this kind of edit is highly offensive. It's blatantly POV and it tries to put food poisoning on the same level as use of sarin gas or chlorine gas or similar actual real "chemical warfare". It looks very much like a WP:NOTHERE attempt to create false (and unsourced) "Ukraine is using chemical weapons!" narrative. That in itself is probably worth a topic ban in itself.
WP:BOOMERANG please. Volunteer Marek 01:45, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- Seems a bit dishonest that you are calling a death by poison "food poisoning". Two persons died and 28 others are in the hospital.
- And I jumped in not because of payback, I don't want to have any dispute. Only because I saw someone saying his edits were getting reverted, I went to his contributions, and I saw your revert which only said "freaking ridiculous POV". After checking the content and checking the page, which talks about poisoning food supplies as chemical warfare at the beginning, I decided to reinstate it.
- Also you did initiate discussion on talk, but I did tell you to please do so in my edit (as it can be seen above). Mostly because your edit descriptions were not really descriptions, and closer to threats and insults.
- To your third point, the text did not put poisoning of food on any level or compare it, and did not say "Ukraine is using chemical weapons", but that civilians in Ukraine did. The only POV I want is a neutral one. AdrianHObradors (talk) 02:53, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
AdrianHObrados can continued the edit war just now [3] after filing this report. They also falsely claimed that another user agreed with the restoration on talk page (Edit summary: Added back after 3O on talk page agrees.). This is completely untrue. Presumably the other user's comment on talk page is this one which pretty clearly states: "I don't believe the inclusion is WP:DUE". This is becoming even more disruptive, especially given the over the top POV nature of the edit. Can we please get a boomerang here already? Volunteer Marek 01:55, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- Actively monitoring the page for continued disruption... —C.Fred (talk) 02:00, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- And the disruption continues [4] though this times by the other user XavierGreen. Note that both users are restoring what is essentially a falsification of sources since the source does NOT say this was an instance of a "chemical warfare". Additionally the article is explicit about the fact that this was done by civilians not as part of any military operation. Volunteer Marek 02:17, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- Extra info Sorry, didn't have time to add the ones at War crimes in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine:
- [5] "tag is spurious and false, but we don't even need WaPo here"
- [6] "no, these are obviously highly POV changes, they are not supported by sources and frankly, given the nature of this topic the changes amount to some very problematic and disruptive attempts to whitewash some horrendous shit"
- [7] "Undid revision 1081029753 by Anonimu (talk) you REALLY need to stop with this awful POV and white washing"
- [8] "undo the obvious POVing and obnoxious attempts at whitewashing"
-- AdrianHObradors (talk) 02:27, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- Adrian, you really need to stop digging. First you start an edit war, by restoring content with false sources. Then you continue the edit war while this report is open. Then, when it becomes clear that you're behaving disruptively you try to deflect by bringing up a different article, and a dispute in which you weren't involved in. In this instance you falsely portray an edit that actually wasn't a revert and that addressed a user's objection (the one with the edit summary "but we don't even need WaPo here"). So in addition to violating WP:TEND, WP:EDITWAR, WP:RS, WP:NPOV and WP:OR you're now doing a pretty good job of WP:BATTLEGROUND. I suggest you drop the stick and be grateful you haven't gotten blocked yet. Volunteer Marek 03:34, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Volunteer Mark, I am not warring or edit warring with anyone. I am just reverting unconstructive edits I see on Wikipedia. See current talk page of History of chemical warfare for an example of constructive discussions. You can also look at the edits by BilledMammal there, with descriptive summaries, for an example of good and constructive additions. And the article I brought wasn't a different one, I referred to it on the initial report.
- Also I don't understand why you removed the source that was open and left the one that was under paywall? Only because it said "The post could not verify those claims"? I am really wondering why you added back the unverified stuff I removed here in line 164, the part about mining the bodies, but not only that, you removed a {{subscription required}} tag and a {{verify source}}. Are you telling me you can't really see how disruptive your edits are?
- I actually go and invest my time trying to verify the sources, many of which are very long, and carefully edit the articles if I confirm the sources don't back it up (like, in this example, where the Washington Post said "The Post could not verify those claims").
- Then you go ahead and make huge reverts calling it POV and whitewashing and call it a day. Please, try to be more careful in the future. AdrianHObradors (talk) 10:25, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- @AdrianHObradors: you have filed an inaccurate report about another editor; it is probably you who should be more careful. Cheers, SN54129 10:31, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Serial Number 54129, I will be more careful if I make any future reports. I did read Volunteer Marek's contributions and the Edit Warring page and it did seem correct to report it. AdrianHObradors (talk) 10:39, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- Hello again, sorry, could you specify where my report is inaccurate? I believe it might have been incomplete, but not inaccurate. I did say "repeatedly" though, on the report, I have striked that, as it was a typo. Meant to says user makes repeated reverts and breaks 3RR, they did not break it repeatedly. AdrianHObradors (talk) 11:00, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- @AdrianHObraors: You are involved in a content dispute. In the spirit of WP:AGF, I don't think any edits on the article are unconstructive. By definition, that means you are edit warring, since you are repeatedly reverting to your preferred position in a content dispute. —C.Fred (talk) 11:58, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @C.Fred, I think I understand what you mean, but I have no preferred position on the content from that article, and the reverts I performed weren't to content created by me, but to another user's content. I reverted it only because Volunteer Marek's revert summaries did not actually reflect the changes done to the article, and I invited him to discuss them on the talk page.
- Although as I said I do understand how it could classify as edit warring. I am actually quite new to editing Wikipedia and really enjoying it, and while I believe my understanding of English is quite good, it isn't my first language, so please, I do welcome any advice and any concrete examples of the violations Volunteer Marek mentions, so it does not happen again. Thank you --AdrianHObradors (talk) 12:44, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- @AdrianHObradors: you have filed an inaccurate report about another editor; it is probably you who should be more careful. Cheers, SN54129 10:31, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- I went and put the page under full protection. At least two other editors have dived into the dispute head-first. At this point, we all need to use the talk page and WP:DR to solve the problem. Reverting repeatedly is not how we solve problems. --Jayron32 12:49, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Comments:
Between Unbh and GustavoCza, there have been countless reverts going on in Coldplay related article, the diffs above refer to some of many edits where one user adds and the other reverts, each of those happened earlier than today, those are examples of the problem which is still ongoing. I prefer not to be involved in any editing of these articles myself and say which one is the better version. Once of them, Unbh, has been blocked earlier this year for violating 3RR once already. I did report a smaller version, about half the size of the one at the start of the month but it was archived without any result given. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 21:34, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
- The reason why this happened was because Unbh insisted in removing information from the lead. After all this mess we did kind of reached a consensus thought, the pages are rather stable right now and I hope I don't run into trouble with them again. --GustavoCza (talk) 21:46, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
- I am an uninvolved observer. Unbh appears to be in the right with regard to content and policy. With this edit, GustavoCza uses a primary source YouTube video to add "wise owl", which is only sourced to the band, not third party media assessments. The media tell the reader that Buckland is described as "the wise one" by his bandmates on their MySpace page, but it isn't so important that it should be added to the lead section, because nobody else uses that description. Binksternet (talk) 01:19, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not sure why you persist in reporting this Iggy. There was no action last time, because it was resolved after an iterative process on edits and discussion on the talk pages, and again that's what's happened here. GustavoCza and I have disagreements about what should go in the ledes in these articles, but on each occasion we've come to a reasonable consensus as Gustavo says above. You also did not properly inform me of this report, just an unclear reply about the last one. Your last one wasn't archived too early, it was archived because it was just not responded to because it was clearly as unnecessary then as it is now.
- I should add that I don't see any need for or advocate any sanction on GustavoCza here either- the process worked - we've come to an agreement on this bit, even if it did need a lot of edits to get there.Unbh (talk) 06:37, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- Result: This is a ridiculous number of reverts. Both User:Unbh and User:GustavoCza are warned. Either may be blocked if they revert again in the next month at either Jonny Buckland or Will Champion without first getting a consensus in their favor on the article talk page.

Comments from the reported contributor:
The issue is not as simple as is presented here. There are several maps and several contributors involved in this dispute (some registered ones, and an elusive dynamic ip).
In a first stage I removed this map: [30], which is purely speculative and plainly original research, and replaced it by [31], which is more faithful to Dick’s book and less speculative. To that User:Shimbo objected that this latter map is nevertheless also original research, and proposed instead [32], which apparently comes from an admissible source. I agreed in principle, but pointed the problem that the link to this source, even on Wikidata, is for the time being broken. Shimbo said he fixed it, but so far I still see the link as broken. Then User:Gooduserdude came up with an other purely speculative map, [33], backed by no other source on Wikidata than the mention that it is the « own work » of some contributor. When I reverted this, he reinstated the very first map [34], so I reverted again.
Finally a dynamic ip came up, and insisted also in restoring the very first map on the ground that there was no consensus to suppress it. It is probably one of the avatars of this dynamic ip that reported me.
I think the article should remain free of any map until a consensus is reached, either on a clearly acceptable file referenced with an admissible source, or without any map. --Sapphorain (talk) 16:32, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- I agree with this summary, apart from it wasn't me who claimed to have fixed the source of the map based on real Axis plans, that was Gooduserdude. As there's only been three people discussing the issues with the maps, and you and I seem to basically agree, I'd say a RFC is the way to build a wider consensus. Shimbo (talk) 21:56, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, that sounds reasonable. I am not at all familiar with that process though (how and where?).--Sapphorain (talk) 20:18, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
- The process is explained at WP:RFC Shimbo (talk) 08:24, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Comments:
I hate dragging people to the drama boards, but this one is particularly frustrating. With the recent announcement that this tournament is returning, I began an overhaul of the article, removing outdated material about the last abortive attempt to restart it (announced but ultimately not held in 2017), removing unsourced material purporting to describe the tournament format, and other general cleanup. I was immediately reverted with no explanation by an editor making what is supposedly their first ever edit. Every subsequent attempt to continue working on the article by myself and Dmoore5556 (who added an infobox) have been blanket reverted without discussion or justification. It's also pretty obvious there's socking going on here as well; in another pool-related item I added sourced mention of the Fargo Rate system used to rank pool players to Elo rating system (as Fargo Rate is a variant on an Elo rating), and lo and behold, it was reverted by someone making their first edit with a similar edit summary. Curiously suspicious. oknazevad (talk) 09:46, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
Please be aware of the following:
Oknazevad is clearly having a joke when accusing me of "edit warring" when they know that: 1) they are solely responsible for my need to restore the encyclopedic information, ie. involved in the edit war themselves, 2) they started it when removing over 1k of perfectly sourced material without any discussion or consensus. It's pure POV pushing because something (and I don't know what) that did or didn't happen in 2017 makes them personally uncomfortable, and so they behave in this unreasonable manner. I believe the communkity should not tolerate this and Oknazevad should be topic banned from any subject relating to international sports as they clearly have no valid contribution to make. --JP7i1-u (talk) 12:35, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
And here we have another revert of another unrelated editor with a false accusation of StellarNerd being a sock of me. He's not. I've never edited Wikipedia using any other user name in my nearly 18 years here. Oh, and he's contribution stalked me over to Designated hitter, where I reverted some WP:SYNTH. My reversion was restored by another well established editor. oknazevad (talk) 00:00, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Special:Contributions/142.105.159.178 has been editing warring across a number of pages, largely refusing to engage on articles’ talk pages. They’ve just broken WP:3RR by reverting four times a static IP template that had been placed on their talk page (the IP seems to be static based on the geo locate tool), with explanation and reference to the guideline at WP:UP. Though it’s not expressly against policy, and it hasn't been directed at me since I haven’t engaged with them much in their ~5mo edit history, I would add that their edit summaries are extremely patronizing (e.g., pay attention :)
) and overall indicative of a bad attitude.
Note that, though the warning I linked concerned edit warring on an article talk page, not on the IP's talk page, the Thewolfchild subsequently warned the IP that they had violated 3RR on their own talk page and encouraged them to revert their last revert. The IP responded to that suggestion by reverting Thewolfchild again, and then reverting an additional message from Thewolfchild. diff
Note also that, though this is the only 3RR violation I observed, this IP has been edit warring/reverting without discussion across a number of other pages. I've included diffs below.
Guardians of the Galaxy (soundtrack) diff diff diff
First Lady of the United States diff diff diff
Where the IP does post on talk pages, they tend not to address the content issues at hand, instead making accusations of bad faith and ownership using the same patronizing tone as in their edit summaries. e.g., Buddy, you've got to let go. You started this article and you've been its primary editor, but you don't own it. You obviously think you do, but you don't.

UPDATE: the IP reverted the notice of edit warring report I left on their talk page, describing it as vandalism. Wallnot (talk) 17:02, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- No violation Per WP:BLANKING, users are allowed to remove warnings from their own talk pages, however rudely they go about it, as long as they accept that it will be assumed they read them. They might actually have a case against you. And, yes, I agree the IP's behavior has not been exemplary. But maybe this is better handled at AN/I. Daniel Case (talk) 17:29, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- The removal in question was of a template required to be placed on their page by the guideline at WP:UP, not a warning. Such templates are an explicit exception to WP:BLANKING: "For IP editors, templates and notes left to indicate other users share the same IP address" cannot be removed. I'm also not sure how they have a case against me; I've performed only two reverts on their talk page. Wallnot (talk) 17:40, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Wallnot: It may be a "user may not remove" but it does not follow from that that we are required to put it there in the first place. Especially when the user disputes that it's really a shared IP, and the editing history seems to back that claim up.
As for the reverts, I apologize, it seems like it was you and Wolf combined. Daniel Case (talk) 18:13, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

- Dyson as a company is British. Yes, operations of its "Global HQ" moved to another country in 2019 however its founders, registered offices and facilities remain in the UK.

Comments:
Additionally Scimernet seems to be making the same changes universally to other ammunition articles - I only have three watched, but those have had the same changes applied to them. These changes have been reverted by other editors, only for Scimernet to reinsert, using the edit summary of "The unit of measure is Caliber not inches. Caliber is a unit "based" on inches; it is not designated as a measurement of inches. Refer to the definition of caliber. Caliber is expressed in hundredths or thousands of an inch depending on the number of digits. When referring to cartridges or bullets the units used are caliber. This would be expressed without any leading decimal. This is correct, it does not need consensus or collaboration this needs to be fixed on all Caliber pages" (my emphasis)
Ammunition is not my forte, but this widespread changing of articles without gaining consensus and going against article titles, needs addressing. Chaheel Riens (talk) 15:47, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

This anon IP is having to be reverted by multiple editors while using multiple anon Ip's on dozens of articles.

Wikipedia editing is not "wait until no-one is looking to reinstate your preferred version", yet that is exactly what they did, despite there not having been consensus for it either now or months ago. This is still the same problem that led to this user's block 8 months ago (@Bbb23:). Not only have they not learned from that, but their edits have once again crossed the 3RR bright-line... RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 11:59, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- @RandomCanadian You literally decided (a few days ago) that you wanted to change the lead image to your preferred version (a lead image that has been in place for months). Your reasoning, aesthetic appeal, makes no sense, as you are replacing a depiction with historical context.
- Also, my goal was not to wait until you "weren't looking"— i logged out for a bit, logged back in and saw you changed the image so I reverted it back. I could care less about whether you are looking or not. Cheers. 12:08, 7 April 2022 (UTC) Deedman22 (talk) 12:08, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- Why does this look like a perfect copy of what happened back in June last? "Your reasoning makes no sense" is not how things work on Wikipedia. Simply because you disagree does not mean that you are right and others are wrong (that was the exact same line of reasoning you also used when this happened back last year, see
I'm right because my reasoning is right, you're wrong because you have failed to provide a reasonable counter argument?
from Talk:Alexander_the_Great/Archive_23#Image_dispute,_v2). You reinstated a version which is clearly disputed (as you should know from, uh, getting blocked for edit warring over it?). Please learn to collaborate with, not confront, your fellow editors. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 12:14, 7 April 2022 (UTC)- @RandomCanadian Your reasoning is literally "my bust looks prettier than yours, so it should be used" and mine is "the current one has historical context, and it is probably closer to what Alexander the Great actually looked like". the version that you are trying to change has also been in place for months is most certainly not "clearly disputed". So why you are suddenly deciding that you don't like it now and want to change it. Deedman22 (talk) 12:23, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- Please stop misrepresenting my comments. I've detailed reasons, which include MOS:IMAGEQUALITY (which has not that much to do with personal preference, but with objective factors such as contrast and clarity of the depicted object - oh, and it not missing a nose) and plenty of others (including how the "historical context" claim is not only unprovable but not a sufficiently major distinction in this case to support a worse picture). You can keep poking the strawman, but that only shows that you're not willing to collaborate and a bit of WP:BATTLEGROUND. You reinstated your preferred version back in late February (which is just over a month ago), without any talk page discussion, despite you knowing full well that such a change had been rejected the last time around. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 12:27, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- huh, I reverted someone's edit who had been trying to change the current image that was already in place. the current image has been in place for over half a year.
- This dispute was resolved months ago and the current lead image (which has been in place for over half a year) was the settled-on bust. You (for some reason) have decided that you want to start edit-warring again. Also, if you remember, the bust I originally proposed (the one by Lysippos) is not being used as the lead, and is further down. We came to a middle-ground. There's nothing wrong with the quality of the current bust.

- Exactly, it was changed without discussion or consensus in Febuary, and i simply changed it back. What's worse is you aren't even looking at previous edits to see the image that has been used since at least July 2021. The Feb2022 edit that I made was a reversion to the one that has been used since July2021. And okay, it's the same bust at a different angle (by the exact same artist) so for all intents and purposes it's the same picture. Deedman22 (talk) 12:47, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

- I've linked the last talk page discussion on this (Talk:Alexander_the_Great/Archive_23#Image_dispute,_v2) - and there is no consensus for your proposed version there. In fact, there seems to be consensus against using your version. This doesn't have to end like last time, although again that's entirely your choice. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 12:53, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- @RandomCanadian The version I was proposing in that discussion is for an entirely different image. Yes, there is a 2:1 consensus against the version i proposed in that discussion (by the same two people this time around), which is why it's not the image that is currently being used, and the version that is being used was the middle-ground image. Now you two are deciding that you don't like it and are ganging up on "middle-ground" image. Interesting. Deedman22 (talk) 12:56, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

is for an entirely different image
. In that very same discussion, you said, and I quote,It is a picture of the same bust at a different angle
. If a very similar picture was rejected, simply using a slightly different one doesn't quite cut it as "middle-ground" per any definition of that term. A middle-ground would be something like the Alexander Mosaic (which a lot of people have said they'd be fine with).

Deedman22 (talk) 13:20, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

Deedman22 (talk) 13:29, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

- Looked to me to be an IP trying to push the absurd idea that fascism is a left wing ideology. Considered it to be vandalism so I was reverting freely though perhaps it was just WP:OR with the IP thinking Mosley's quote constitutes a RS for this particular group being left wing.

They reverted another time shortly after I explained to them on their talk page that they had reverted four times already.

Comment:The collaborator does not agree that a point is questioned, under a template, totally within the norms. Although the complaint has substance, only I took the flag to defend my staff. That if there had been no objection from a vehements
group of followers of the article, they would have discussed it in the discussion.--Berposen (talk) 22:27, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- My Dispute tag initially added here. I hadn't noticed the other user's. I disputed his actuality. The other user, disputed to its origins, that flag, I do not take it, it is clear the agreed point in the RfC. The templates and their places were different. The rollback he are talking about is the rescue of the template quote. Because the other user who took the flag to question the RfC, added other templates, and the reversion that caused, eliminated mine. --Berposen (talk) 22:57, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
*Comment: Battleground mentality of User:Aquillion. The editor's repeated removal of "disputed" and "dubious" tags despite ongoing, and very involved, Talk Page discussion, in which a plurality of active editors disagree with his POV:
1. [112] - "rm. tag per additional sources."
2. [113] - "rv. recently-added template per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Azov_Battalion/Archive_2#RfC:_Azov_Battalion - it is inappropriate to add a template like this once consensus is established."
User:Aquillion has made massive edits [114] despite all other involved editors refraining (or being forced to refrain through instant reverts) from doing so while the Talk Page discussion over sources and the upcoming RfC is ongoing.
User:Aquillion has refused to engage with the many sources, including those of the leading scholars on the issue (Umland, Fedorenko, Shekhovtsov, et al), in addition to the latest from the news orgs AFP,[1] BBC,[2] DW,[3] CNN,[4] WashPo,[5], Financial Times,[6] which all explicitly refute his POV.
EnlightenmentNow1792 (talk) 23:02, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
*Comment: It seems User:Vladimir.copic is also in breach of 3RR[115],[116],[117] - but I wouldn't dream of trying to get him blocked just because he happens to hold the opposite POV to me. - EnlightenmentNow1792 (talk) 23:10, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- Blocked one week. I also question whether Berposen has even the minimum English skills necessary to edit on en.wiki and to communicate with others.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:15, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
@ Bbb23 - Battleground mentality of Aquillion? I feel users who arrive here with such an obvious absurdity to safeguard their POV partner need to be cautioned. I'm referring to the remark left EnlightenmentNow1792. - GizzyCatBella🍁 23:51, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- If another administrator wants to take action against another editor or editors, that's up to them. The block of Berposen was straightforward.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:57, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

This user has made four consecutive reverts in approx 16 hours, vs two different editors. We tried to discuss on the article talk page, but were met with hostility and insults. There has been no willingness to engage there. A second attempt to 'start over' and discuss was atempted on the user's talk page, but they were equally uncooperative there.

Repeat offender, previously blocked for edit warring, has reverted three times properly referenced material. His/her previous behaviour, for example at Merseyrail and this article to an extent in the past is to assume ownership of the article and ride roughshod over anybody's edits that he/she disagrees with. --10mmsocket (talk) 17:39, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
- Not blocked For now. Contrary to your report he has not, it seems, been previously blocked. I do agree this editor is tendentious, but as your diffs show he has not consistently reverted the same material. Certainly it doesn't have to be a 3RR vio to be blockable, but he hasn't quite crossed the line to where I feel one's needed as in addition to not reverting the same exact thing, he is also nominally discussing it.
But for that same reason since it seems like you have a consensus against his position on the talk page now, we should keep this up going forward. Daniel Case (talk) 17:53, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
- I'm surprised he wasn't blocked. I remembered wrong. His actions actually directly led to Merseyrail being locked (diff). Anyway, I appreciate the speedy attention, respect your opinion, and look forward to getting the article to where it needs to be based on consensus. 10mmsocket (talk) 19:05, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
- User:10mmsocket changed content that has been in the article for a while. It was reverted as what he changed the wording to was wrong. In the Talk Page it was explained to him where he was wrong.

- No because it is not relevant to the article. As discussed on the article's talk page there is a difference between Wigan a town of approx 100,000 people and Wigan Metropolitan Borough, an administrative area of approx 300,000 people. What the editor has done, again, is replaced every occurrence of "Golborne" with "Wigan" which is a fourth revert - despite addition of a non-relevant reference. 10mmsocket (talk) 20:32, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

In the same edits, the user is reinstating content that only worsens said concern. As such, I can't see that I can add anything more that would help resolve the dispute. But said thread is here: [164]
Diff of ANEW notice posted to user's talk page: [165]
Comments:
This is primarily a conduct dispute, but I am reporting it here on the basis of this statement: "Conduct complaints that fall into certain sub-categories of misconduct have their own administrators' noticeboard; for example, complaints about edit warring should be made at the edit warring noticeboard (AN3)". But I feel there ought to be a better avenue for this kind of complaint.
In my mind, the repeat removal of a maintenance template without resolution constitutes plain vandalism, but my attempt to report it via WP:AIV has failed. In any case, this user is clearly engaging in disruptive editing.
Further things that GliderMaven is doing include:
- Personal attacks – [166], [167]
- Inappropriate, accusatory edit summaries – [168], [169], [170]
- Removing a reasonable, accurate, constructive and reasonably neutral statement without explanation and replacing it with the same contentious content again – [171], [172]
- Refusing to contribute to the aforementioned talk page discussion in order to try to resolve the issue.

- Both editors are warned not to continue edit-warring. If they do, they risk being blocked without notice. They are also both warned not to attack each other in edit summaries, Smjg labeling GliderMaven's edits vandalism, and GliderMaven calling Smjg's edits "ignorant".--Bbb23 (talk) 22:08, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Comments:
I was asked on March 22 by ForzaUV to make some formatting changes to four tennis statistics articles [178]. I agreed with the changes, and so implemented them [179]. Fyunck(click) disagreed with them, reverted a couple of the edits [180][181] and started a discussion on one of the articles' talk pages (all fine). There were a couple of back-and-forth reverts before the discussion started where I tried to explain the changes [182][183][184][185], but once the discussion started I made no more, leaving the article in the prior state. In the discussion, Fyunck(click) stayed with his objections, with ForzaUV agreeing with the changes [186]. Fyunck(click) explicitly said that consensus would change to the new format if no-one else chimed in Of course if no one else chimes in that's a different story for an article or two
[187]. Two weeks later (April 7) with no further comments having been made, I indicated that I would thus re-instate the changes [188], which I did today (April 13) after having waited another week for anyone else to join in [189]. Against his words, Fyunck(click) reverted again, and then we both reached our 3RR limit, with my edits trying to explain that we had had the necessary discussion already about the formatting of these four articles [190][191][192][193][194]. The last edit summary by Fyunck(click) is crucial: You've reached the 3RR limit now, so start a discussion if you disagree
— this is an identical copy of an edit summary I made in a revert of him on a completely unrelated page, WP:WikiProject Tennis/Article guidelines, earlier today [195]. where another editor had also reverted him. But that summary is complete nonsense here as a discussion *had already occurred*, and I had waited ample time to see if anyone else would object to the changes. The parroting of my comment and continued reverts indicate retaliatory edit-warring by Fyunck(click), against the new consensus, and I therefore request he be sanctioned or blocked. Letcord (talk) 07:36, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- Article protected. First of all, reporting an editor for having reverted three times when one has also done so is inevitably not going to result in a one-sided sanction. Secondly, anyone looking at a discussion would be unconvinced by a weak "consensus" of 2-1 on a different talk page completely. I have protected the page so that a discussion with possibly higher visibility than a few editors can take place. Black Kite (talk) 08:17, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [206],WikiProject Judaism posts (comments by User:Doug Weller)
Diff of ANEW notice posted to user's talk page: [207]
Comments:
Doug Weller and I have noticed recent disruptive changes to the lede of Book of Genesis, which started on 9 April 2022. The edits are unsourced and verge on preaching, with "nation of peace" "nation of people" wikilinked to nation, etc. In a header, Doug Weller has written "that guy's nuts" on my user talk page. This came to a head with four consecutive reverts within 24 hours, which threatens to continue. I am not sure that this user should be editing wikipedia, given some of Doug Weller's observations on the user's talk page and on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Judaism (see above). Mathsci (talk) 08:56, 14 April 2022 (UTC) (refactored)
- My comment about the editor being nuts was in response to this series of edits[208] which among other things said that the ruling feudal families of Europe were black and, writing about the Black Death, "which a particular Caucasian demographic brought in via their migration westward from the caves of the Caucasus Mountains where they were engaging in many vile practices (see Arthur Koestler's book) and the rest of the steppe region of Eurasia, and where they were able to spread diseases due to the aforementioned factors and also their excessive body hair which contained lice...". Note that "Caucasian" above is actually a link to Wild man. I'm not sure if the editor made this up himself or copied it, but in any case I think my question about being nuts was appropriate. Doug Weller talk 09:16, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- First of all, if you can spell and are not mentally challenged, I said "nation of PEOPLE" not "nation of peace" so that is just outright slander and injurious speech.
- Secondly, the term "Jewish" is not found anywhere in the Old Testament. I have a source which refers to the LORD's chosen people in the Old Testament, particularly Genesis, which is pertinent in this instance, as Israelites. I'll post it eventually, give me some time. I have more sources that talk about this.
- Thirdly, the primary source for the accounts that took place in the Scriptures, especially in the book of Genesis, are not in some "Jewish" scholar's text or some sociological handbook, right, it's in the Holy Bible which is the source and derivation of the Israelites as a nation of PEOPLE, again, nation of PEOPLE, not PEACE. You can spell mate, yeah?
- Also, just as an aside, you got this dude named "Doug" calling me crazy, haha! Someone that knows absolutely about the Bible or the narrative of the Bible and what this thing is truly about. Oh Lord, ha! JudasMacca (talk) 09:17, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- @JudasMacca: you do know my comment was about edits having nothing to do with the Bible, right? You want to explain those edits? Doug Weller talk 09:21, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- And back to the Book of Genesis issue, before his latest revert I warned him about changing sourced text, which is exactly what he is doing. The source[209] says "it appears as a narrative account of Judaism' understanding of creation and the origins of the Jewish people." He's changing that to "patriarchs and, in general, the origins of the Israelites as a nation of people". He's interpreting that, which we can't do. Doug Weller talk 09:29, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- I meant to say knows absolutely nothing about the Bible or the narrative, audience, purpose and authorship thereof. JudasMacca (talk) 09:26, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- @JudasMacca: you do know my comment was about edits having nothing to do with the Bible, right? You want to explain those edits? Doug Weller talk 09:21, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- And, as to the Black Death and wildman reference, well, do you really want me to bring out all the evidence that I have on the Caucasian coming from the caves of the Caucasus Mountains as well as regions of the Eurasian Steppe.
- Just look up the Almas of Mongolia which was documented by travelers speaking about basically beast-men living in a savage state on all fours and extremely hairy. Now ask yourself, when I compare that description to the image of the wild men on the Wikipedia page, aren't the two similar? The answer is yes.
- When I say "black" I'm not being literal, I'm using that term colloquially because of all the lies that have run this world and gripped people's mind and understanding of these things. In this case as the proper phraseology would be "so-called" because nobody is black, even the darkest hue in terms of skin color is a very dark brown. That's pseudoscience established for the purpose of the perpetuation of the Caucasian man and his ideology. The same goes for the term "white". You all would be "red" not "white".
- As for the so-called black rulership, you really want me to bring out all the evidence on ruling class of Europe in the Middle Ages being so-called black while Caucasians were serfs and in an a very low estate. Do you really want me to do that, cause I can if I'm so inclined to do so. JudasMacca (talk) 09:25, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Although this is slow edit warring, I took it here because I'm deeply worried by their comment ":Even though much recent scholarship on American history suffers from the well-documented politicization of academia"[216] Rsk6400 (talk) 12:36, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- I think the accusation of edit warring is unfounded. I have given a good deal of time and effort over this simple addition of a quote -- one that is not disputed as to accuracy or reliability. At first the reversions of my edit were claimed to have been done because I did not make a proper reference -- that because it appeared in Atlantic Monthly, and I referred to that publication, it was hence unacceptable, even though accurate. I then added a second source, from the NY Times, thinking surely that would be acceptable, but was again informed that it was not. Apparently no matter how many primary sources I added it would still not be enough. I added a third source, one that had been used in other places in the same article thinking that would bring it over the bar of acceptability. It did not. I even pointed out that under Wiki guidelines that sometimes, specifically quotes, primary sources were acceptable. Again, this was rejected. Apparently this is not the case. My last attempt was to rewrite the edit with additional secondary sources -- three of them: Two from recent historians, and one from a Civil War Union General (as noted in my explanation). The edit now has half a dozen sources listed on it.
- The person making this accusation seems to be concerned about my view of the state of scholarship in academia, and gives a quote of mine (I suppose it's always nice to see yourself quoted), but that was from a different article, about a different subject, and really has nothing to do with whether this is a valuable addition to the article. I have given my reasons in the talk page on why I think that it is, and these can be reviewed there, though I am certainly willing to elaborate on the case. I indicated on the talk page that I was happy to discuss the matter, and I made quite a number of attempts to accommodate the objections made, even though I disagree with the necessity. It is unfortunate that this has been brought here since I believe all my actions have been made in good faith, something I find quite important in all areas of life, not just Wikipedia. Thank you.

The user has engaged in long-term edit-warring and I'm tired of him removing my edits and that of others. And he hasn't done this only on one edit, but multiple ones over months. I don't want to keep edit-warring with him and it's clear he won't stop, I've already self-reverted multiple times or let the situation go so as to not create more of a dispute: [262], [263], [264], [265]
The user is displaying ownership behaviour and doesn't allow an edit other than what he agrees with.
He also denies engaging in an edit war because according to him the edits he is reverting are bad [266]. As he has a lot of experience, I highly doubt he doesn't know his statement is wrong and don't fall in any exemptions of WP:3RR as far as I see. Regardless him thinking the edits are bad isn't an exemption since it's a personal view. I'm tired of arguing with the individual and him reverting me so many times, please take action. Even when I mentioned it to him, he claimed I'm talking nonsense and he made uncivil comments [267].
Also I haven't included many other reverts he has done since he hasn't repeatedly reverted them (although they would qualify under ownership behavior since he decides what is right like [268] or [269].) AbsolutelyFiring (talk) 05:57, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- You can't go through a page's history looking for every time someone has reverted any random thing to make it look like they are engaged in an edit war. The above diffs cover many different issues involving many different users and many different talk page discussions over several months, and presenting them in this way is very deceptive. Like it or not, reverting is a normal part of editing Wikipedia and especially happens a lot at popular articles such as this where many editors are involved and many changes get made. I know that it is frustrating when your edits get reverted, but you are going to have to get used to that happening if you want to make bold changes to popular articles that a lot of other editors are also working on. Repeatedly re-reverting and not following good faith approaches such as WP:BRD and WP:STATUSQUO is not the answer. All of the diffs above have clear justification and all of the previous issues that you are referencing were either supported by policies and guidelines (Future, Ratcatcher), talk page consensus (box-office bomb), or were part of a process that led to new consensus (plot changes, home media stuff). The answer for the latest disagreement is to stop making your bold change (which you did 1, 2, 3 times without attempting any discussion at the talk page) and start discussing why you think it should be made. Jumping to ANEW when we haven't even had a basic talk page discussion about the issue is not the right approach. I have clearly demonstrated to you in the past that I am happy to come up with compromises and make things work, but that can only happen if you actually participate in discussion. - adamstom97 (talk) 22:48, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
- I can when you have reverted multiple people and it shows a pattern of behavior. Also although WP:BRD and WP:STATUSQUO are not policies, I did discuss with you several times or let you do what you want and refrained from further reverts regardless [270], [271], [272]. Because there's no point in simply reverting. However, as I have pointed out you keep reverting whenever I make a change, even on minute things like removing repeated text that might be WP:SYNTH.
- You are abusing the revert function by reverting every time. And it's not just me you revert. Although I don't want to seem as if I'm accusing someone of bad faith, your edits do seem to display ownership behavior. So it's high time you were blocked or banned or at least warned. AbsolutelyFiring (talk) 23:21, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

long-term edit-warring, not just one incident
. In case you've missed my earlier comments, I have started discussions in past or let the situation go. - I have argued with him many times in past. For example in one case I let the situation go and let him have his own way which does count as dispute resolution like I did here in one case. A person doesn't have to keep disputing.
- What the report asked for was attempts at resolving dispute which I did in most cases though discussing here and here. It does not ask that you have reached a compromise. Though I agreed to the compromise given by Gonein60 in one case. In another, I removed my edit first as I explained, but later Adamstom.97 acted upon a suggestion by Gonein60. I didn't oppose it.
- I request that you carefully examine what you are claiming before accusing me.
- But I am tired of Adamstom.97 thinking he can revert any time he wants and use discussion as an excuse to stonewall. And it's not just me he has edit-warred with. Reverting again and again, telling multiple people what can't go into an article through edit-warring or even implying one is exempt for edit-warring like here is breaching the policies.

- Look all, I'm closing this discussion down. There may very well be some behavioral issues with either the reporter or the reportee, but this seems like a clearly more complex case, and ANEW is simply not designed to handle such complex cases. It's for quick, obvious WP:3RR-type problems, and the like. I recommend a discussion be started at WP:ANI if there is some sanctions needed, but ANEW is not the place to have this discussion given the format of the board. I'd also like to remind everyone of WP:BOOMERANG if you do decide to take it to ANI. --Jayron32 17:18, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

I reversed the removal of cited content which occured without consensus in the discussion page. Therefore, I acted on attempts by Springee to vandalise the article. In regards to the second point, Springee appears to demonstrate a history of removing similar labels (especially the far-right one) in Republican-related articles [1]. For the record, I never used the alt-right one - that's misleading. He did refer to the label and the GAL/TAN scale as POV to justify their removal. His contribution is open to interpretations, but a thorough look at the discussion page can verify my claims [2]. NikolaosFanaris (talk) 15:38, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

- I'm not sure that Springee's edits rise to the level of vandalism, but there does appear to be some whitewashing/stonewalling going on. For example here they claim that an actual quote of Owens "does not really clarify her views on the subject", and that the opposing RS view is somehow undue. This looks like an effort to undermine the contested "far right" label by removing sources that support it. And Springee has been here long enough to know that a source being behind a WP:PAYWALL is not a legitimate complaint. All involved should be mindful of the 1RR restriction. –dlthewave ☎ 16:54, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Your other claims are an attempt to poison the well rather than a reasonable description of both the edits and the concerns raised on the talk page.

One structural note, NikolaosFanaris when you said "reversed the removal of cited content which occurred without consensus" that implies that citing gives a material a special status that then requires a consensus to remove. Sourcing or sourcability is a requirement for all article space content and does not give it special status such as requiring a consensus for removal. In reality (potential) removal is guided by other policies and guidelines, those centering around wp:burden and wp:BLP being amongst those being very applicable here. North8000 (talk) 17:19, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- Sure - but I still think that the removal should be considered vandalism and POV, hence my reversals. Springee deliberately removed cited content that was backed by reputable sources and contained actual quotes. I sense heavy POV behind some of actions, including the continuous removal of the far-right label. Owens' ideology sits on that side of the political spectrum - there is absolutely no doubt about that. Everything in the views' section already points towards that direction, but somehow this is debated by one user who has a history of removing labels in WP. First the label, and now the removal of actual quotes. Please read WP:IMPARTIAL NikolaosFanaris (talk) 17:45, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- The common meaning of "far right" in the US is either the whackiest, most extreme end of that political spectrum or else a pejorative term applied to any conservative by a political opponent. North8000 (talk) 18:27, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- Apart from the aggressive statement, which is clearly targeting me, I have to point out that top academic journals have been used to back the term in the case of CO. I don't care how you or anyone else in the American context use the term. Those are all hypothetical scenarios. With that said, we are currently participating in this encyclopedia and my understanding is that we have to somehow(?) value political science and terminology. And to answer to your previous statement: no, you are wrong! Far-right does not automatically imply (even in the American context!) that someone is sitting on the most extreme end of the political spectrum. That's called extremism (or extreme-right) and is not always related to the far-right family. NikolaosFanaris (talk) 18:51, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- My statements do not devalue political science And we do summarize what is is said in (hopefully good) sources, and summaries are typically done using the common meanings of terms, so those are relevant. My post was also pointing out two different context-sensitive meanings in sources; such may assist in that effort. North8000 (talk) 18:59, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- This is a volatile statement and implies that I am adding the far-right label (backed by academic sources) as a pejorative term: The common meaning of "far right" in the US is either the whackiest, most extreme end of that political spectrum or else a pejorative term applied to any conservative by a political opponent. Nothing more, nothing less. NikolaosFanaris (talk) 19:01, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- First, adding to my previous post, regarding your statement that far right does not mean the most extreme end of that political spectrum, IMO that assertion obviously doesn't sound correct.North8000 (talk) 19:06, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- Next the first statement in your post makes two claims about me. 1. That I said that in this case it is a pejorative term. I didn't say that, but agree with it. 2. That I implied a certain motivation of yours for making the addition. I did not say or imply that. North8000 (talk) 19:14, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- Which proves my point that you don't really understand this terminology. The difference between far-right and extreme (or radical) right lies in the ideological compliance with liberal democracy. In most cases, the far-right term is able to accurately describe ultraconservative actors or parties who still operate within those limits. On the other hand, radical or extreme right indicates strong undemocratic notions and a highly authoritarian stance. With that said, I believe that the majority of authors who have come here to accuse me of reversals are driven by clear POV and a lack of understanding of terminology, which shows that certain ideological criteria may cloud their judgmement. To give you a different example, I don't understand astrophysics, which means that I would never express an opinion on such theories. But most importantly, I would never go around trying to enforce my opinion on other OR accuse users I disagree with of attacking conservatives by using a certain terminology. In regards to Candace Owens - no she is not a conservative anymore - she is actually ultraconservative, which effectively makes her far-right because of her clear ideological approach.

- Apart from the aggressive statement, which is clearly targeting me, I have to point out that top academic journals have been used to back the term in the case of CO. I don't care how you or anyone else in the American context use the term. Those are all hypothetical scenarios. With that said, we are currently participating in this encyclopedia and my understanding is that we have to somehow(?) value political science and terminology.

NF accusing others of "vandalism" is a bad sign, as is the stonewalling in this back-and-forth as linked above. Crossroads -talk- 17:29, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- Agree that saying or implying "vandalism" and other negative generalizations and implying bad motives about another editor is out-of-line at best. IMO doubly so about an editor who, from what I've seen has been has been a cautious, courteous and very Wikipedian editor. North8000 (talk) 18:23, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- It's not vandalism, but lots of editors don't understand our strict definition of that term. Bad, but not an ongoing behavioral problem. That link you cite, Crossroads, comes after a very long thread in which the issue has been identified clearly several times. For that editor to clueless ask "what's the problem here?" is a lazy, incompetent, or disingenuous question. I can understand the accused's frustration and snarky response. Not an ongoing crime either. SPECIFICO talk 19:30, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- Definitely not vandalism per SPECIFICO. What I'm seeing is a relatively new editor who is not as familiar with the ground rules as they should be, especially when editing the highly volatile AP2 topic area and even more so when it's a BLP. A firm word of caution would definitely help but if it doesn't, then a 6-month t-ban would allow time for the new editor to learn NPOV, BLP, dispassionate tone, REDFLAG, NOTNEWS, RECENTISM, and the difference between media opinion and statements of fact. Atsme 💬 📧 20:17, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Atsme: given that they decided to bull-in-china-shop with these exact same issues at Lauren Boebert [294] while this discussion was active, I think a t-ban to encourage them to get experience in a less volatile area is looking increasingly like the best option. They're just not listening. VQuakr (talk) 01:03, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

- Inclined to support a six month ban because I simply moved the label, which was already mentioned in the article, further up in the intro? Is that how bans are proposed? How is this even an issue? [1] I think I am being attacked unfairly here without serious evidence. NikolaosFanaris (talk) 01:14, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- No, you didn't just move it. You changed it from "per such and such source" to a violation of WP:WIKIVOICE, which is policy. This has already been explained to you, but rather than learn or ask for clarification you're continuing to edit war. Which means you aren't experienced enough (or don't have the patience in general) to be editing WP:BLP's. VQuakr (talk) 01:20, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

IMO, for their own wiki-benefit and than of Wikipedia NikolaosFanaris needs to learn how the the alternate universe of Wikipedia works before they try to jump in so heavily on difficult political articles. @NikolaosFanaris:, in the event that you agree, do you have an idea on a self-administered plan to do that? If not I would suggest a tban on the articles in question which might be an impetus for the described evolution and also solve the immediate issue at the article raised here. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 01:51, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

NF is continuing to edit war and restoring disputed edits without consensus [297]. I think a block or similar is in order. Springee (talk) 14:40, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
- Misleading and immoral statement by Springee. I brought back academic sources from reliable journals that were removed by them without explanation [1]. He brought up two irrelevant reasons: cite-overkill and paywall. Nobody disagreed in the discussion page about the academic sources as they have been used here to back the claim that CO is an influencer! Not sure what Springee is trying to achieve here, but this is getting close to character assassination. NikolaosFanaris (talk) 14:53, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
- Does the edit have consensus? If it was removed without explanation then why would you cite (incorrectly I will add) my explanations? Springee (talk) 14:59, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
- Springee, you ignored my direct question to you concerning the central issue with respect to sourcing. I don't see that you are engaging in good faith on the talk page. You are both repeating yourselves and drowning out any chance of constructive progress. I've opened a new section on the talk page and you should both take a trout and move on. SPECIFICO talk 15:36, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
- Cause the only disagreement came from you. Both explanations are misleading and untruthful. NikolaosFanaris (talk) 15:05, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
- Looking through the article history, several editors including Springee and NikolaosFanaris have repeatedly added and removed reliably-sourced content and sources that might be viewed as critical of Owens. Calling for a tban based on a small 1RR violation and making accusations of POV pushing, when Springee's own behavior is very similar even though they insist it did not cross the 1RR line, is not a good look and has the effect, if not the intention, of trying to remove a voice that they disagree with. I would note that Springee is once again pushing back against the paywalled source, claiming that
"The problem with the part wall sources (sic) is we don't know if they actually support what NF claims"
[298] which is very concerning behavior from an experienced editor. –dlthewave ☎ 15:35, 17 April 2022 (UTC)- Dlthewave, I can't help but notice that you seem to come out of no where when I report an editor for something like this. When you come out of no where you invariably make excuses or downplay the behavior of the other editor and try to find a reason why I'm at fault. I'm also noticing that you are falsely presenting my paywall argument. My concern is that, without being able to read the reports, I can't see if they actually support the claims in question. Endwise did have access to the reports and confirmed my concerns [299]. It is false to claim I refuse to allow sources that are behind a paywall. However, it is quite reasonable for editors to challenge claims that can't be readily verified when the editor making the claim is making blanket statements vs providing detailed quotes. That isn't "very concerning behavior", it is very reasonable concern. Springee (talk) 16:29, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

This is in the edit warring page and about an alleged edit warring violations on a 1RR article and an allegation that it is continuing. I see a lot of stuff that is off of that topic, including unfounded accusations of the reporter (including of vandalism, "character assassination", and of making an immoral statement) Also seeming to say that it's OK to edit war if the person feels that it's a good edit. North8000 (talk) 15:30, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

- (edit conflict) I am not what these three comments are about, so I will start a new thought. TheEncyclopediaReader has amassed more than 3000 edits in just under a wee; many have been reverted and many of the rest probably could be. The edit war on Canada may have been innocent, but outing themself as an IP editor seems to explain how the editor became proficient. I do not think we are dealing with an entirely new editor. I am inferring that Moxy may also think we have a block evader. With no evidence, I will assume good faith and we just have a prolific new editor.
- As for the "policies" TheEncyclopediaReader, I assume we have an editor who is rule-based and may be referring to manuals of style, guidelines or even template documentation. Three reverts in under 24 hours does not violate WP:3RR, so I say no violation, but there is a bit of gaming going on and close to WP:NOTHERE behaviour. I am tempted to request lenience, particularly since it does not seem this editor is a native English speaker, but a short topic ban from geographic articles may be worthwhile. Either that or a WP:1RR on those topics, at least until TheEncyclopediaReader gains a bit more competency.
- I would, however, like to see who these editors who have supposedly been offering TheEncyclopediaReader advice are, and what advice they are offering. @TheEncyclopediaReader: can you please supply diffs or at least links to this advice? Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:50, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
- See the user's talk page for some of it. I will admit I was getting annoyed and frustrated with their ultimately rapid disruptive editing changing lists to single line with a hard coded circle bullet in between and altering long standing links to languages in official languages to be dialects when the "official" doesn't specify a dialect and general disruption around languages. Canterbury Tail talk 13:43, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Walter Görlitz Of course I tell you the users that teached me, Canterbury Tail teached me the policies of MOS:PIPE and WP:EASTEREGG, and also he teached me that making this for example: Filipino • English can be confusing for others, the two lines are more common to use, and I said OK and as you can see I applied in a lot of articles, and you sirs you took it as a disruptive edition when nothing else was following a policy.

TheEncyclopediaReader is still engaging in edit-warring. [314] They are also clearly incapable of communicating properly in the English language: see here [315] where they start a thread with a confusing word-salad that nobody would be able to make head nor tail of without reading through their editing history. If we aren't being trolled here (which I'd have to suggest is a real possibility), we are dealing with someone simply lacking the necessary skill in English to be able to usefully contribute to the English-language Wikipedia. Competence is required. AndyTheGrump (talk) 18:53, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Please pardon me. This is my first time doing this, and I am otherwise not directly involved—I only stumbled upon it while going to the article (The Blacklist (TV series)) to make some changes. This is what has apparently been going on in the last three days between the two editors in question (note the ad hominem bscenity):
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Blacklist_(TV_series)&action=history
I'm looking for a wiser, more knowledgeable, higher placed head to handle this, rather than potentially botching it on my own. I've just checked the talk pages of the article in question Debresser, and I do not find any discussion about this, though there is this history of a deleted comment on Dibol's talk page:

Comments:
I have noticed disruptive changes to the lead section of Morbius (film), which started on 7 April 2022. A first attempt to discuss was attempted on the user's talk page, but there has been no willingness to engage there. I warned the user not to continue edit-warring but I was equally ignored as my post was removed from his talkpage (which I incorrectly restored having misinterpreted WP:BLANKING; later another user explained it to me). Erik and I then tried to discuss on the article talk page, but were met with hostility as well. The user is doing inappropriate, accusatory edit summaries [330][331][332]; he is reverting multiple users who object to his edits [333][334][335][336], removing a reliably sourced and neutral statement without any acceptable reason [337][338][339] and refusing to contribute constructively to the talk page discussion in order to try to resolve the issue [340][341]. I don't want to keep edit-warring with him but he specifically said he is not going to stop [342].--Earthh (talk) 22:33, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
- Cool, let's look at your edit history here. On March 31, Earthh made this edit to the page claiming Leto's performance was praised. This edit was almost immediately reverted by Zvig47.
- Since then, Earthh has made the following reverts to protect this inclusion:
- 14:01 March 31 reverted edit by Zvig47
- 14:32 March 31 reverted edit by JoeBro
- 10:05 April 6 reverted edit by Reckonerbahbahbah
- 17:50 April 6 reverted edit by AbsolutelyFiring
- 20:36 April 7 reverted edit by me
- April 8 reverted edit by Sekyaw
- At this point, Earthh declared their edit to be "consensus" and demanded that it stay in place per WP:EDITCON - clearly ignoring WP:BRD, which would suggest they go to the talk page at any point here. They have since:
- 07:08 April 13 reverted AbsolutelyFiring
- 13:13 April 13 reverted AbsolutelyFiring again
- 14:34 April 15 reverted my additions to critical reception, sourced to reliable sources
- 18:43 April 19 reverted my changes to lede
- 19:19 April 19 reverted to keep his changes to lede
- 12:28 April 21 reverted to keep his changes to lede
- 14:14 April 21 reverted lede
- 14:46 April 21 reverted my addition of new sources to critical reception
- 14:57 April 21 again reverted to keep new source in critical reception out
- Earthh is engaging in WP:OWNERSHIP of the article by forcing their changes through, declaring them to be consensus despite them being removed by other editors (six of them, in fact), and now, reporting another user for edit warring. Rather than returning to consensus lead during discussion, Earthh insists that their changes must remain. They appear to be attempting to brute force their changes into the article - it's bad-faith editing and I'm not sure how to resolve it. I have reiterated multiple times on the talkpage that I am open to creating a lede that includes praise for Leto, provided it also mentions the negative reception his performance received; it's a shame Earthh won't engage on the matter.

71.190.206.215 has repeatedly included violations of the WP:BLP policy. A lengthy explanation, including the importance of reliable sources, has not stopped the issue. KyleJoantalk 02:50, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
- I have never exceeded 3 reverts in 24 hours. I used the revert function to get back my edits in order to subsequently change them to accommodate the previous revert reason. So, practically they were not reverts, but constructive contributions to improve the art. according to prior suggestions. As the results many of my contributions to the art. still remain in its body. They are added details, improved phrases, and added citations. As a result the art. is much better in comparison to its content prior to my 1st edit. I understand that improvements are not an excuse to exceed 3 reverts in 24 hrs, but that never happened. The art. is still not neutral, but closer than before.
- On the other hand the reverts by @Praxidicae: and @KyleJoan: are w/o explanation at all (WP:Vandalism#Blanking, illegitimate) or inconsistent w/ WP's polices, such as WP:NEWSORG, WP:PUS, and obviously WP:GOODFAITH (as discussed on my talk) page qualifying both of them for Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring review, instead of me. Additionally, @Praxidicae: was doing the same to my edits of Salt Lake Tabernacle. He did not add a single word to that art., only reverted. His reverts were in violation of MOS:LEAD (+ WP:GOODFAITH) despite being given explanations of its meaning. Multiple explanations were given to @KyleJoan: in regard to WP:NEWSORG and WP:PUS. The reverts of both of them showed bias against PR Newswire despite allowed by WP:NEWSORG and WP:PUS, as consistent w/ WP:RS under 2 conditions, which both were met in this case.
- It is impossible to seek a compromise with editors who do not understand WP's rules and only revert while not accepting explanations of WP's rules their reverts violate. They do not want to compromise, but to eliminate editors they disagree with, as this report to this board additionally testifies for. My last edit to Julia Haart was constructive. It provided the reason given for her firing, which had been already mentioned there previously, but w/o explanation. It also set up the sequence of firing vs filling the divorce papers, both of which already there, but w/o telling which was 1st. Those details are important to give a neutral picture of the otherwise distorted events. W/o them she may look like a greater victim that she actually seems according to all sources, incl. legitimate in this case PR Newswire. @KyleJoan: did not accept those explanations and also accused me of giving undue weight while those encyclopedic details were essential to complete otherwise biased info already there.
- Please, remove the warnings given to me by @Praxidicae: and @KyleJoan: on my talk, as unsubstantiated, unfair, and self-serving.--71.190.206.215 (talk) 06:13, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
- Actually, every single one of my edits to that article, save for the first which restored Mk17b's version (which said "please provide an RS") had adequate edit summaries with links to relevant policies and guidelines. The idea that including more personal details of her divorce and firing dubiously sourced somehow lends itself to more balance or being more encyclopedic is laughable. I also haven't touched the article in 5 days. CUPIDICAE💕 13:21, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
- It is "remarkable" (euphemistically speaking) that @Praxidicae: mentions somebody's edit summary ("Mk17b's") for his own reverts. It is just offensive when considering that "Blanking, illegitimate" describes in detail importance of edit summary when reverting. My 2nd edit at 19:41, 13 April 2022 included the <ref name="Women'sHealth1"> citation, which still remains in the art. and thus must be consistent w/ WP:RS. His statement that
[t]he idea that including more personal details of her divorce and firing dubiously sourced somehow lends itself to more balance or being more encyclopedic is laughable
is arbitrary and w/o any connection to the WP:BLP policy. It, together w/ his similar difficulties w/ WP:RS, WP:NEWSORG, WP:PUS, MOS:LEAD, WP:GOODFAITH, and absence of explanations of how WP's policies were violated, rather suggests inability to properly justify any revert (except absence of RS) or maybe even to form any proper justification at all. His subsequent edit summaries also indicate that he believes that naming a WP's policy, as a justification, is sufficient w/o providing how.

Elaborating in the art. in several sentences on the alleged Haart leadership's achievements w/o quoting that fin. distress they resulted in was stated as the reason for her termination, but mentioning the termination, is unbalanced. Stating that she was fired and she filed for a divorce on the same day w/o saying which was 1st is unbalanced, as may suggest that she was fired after filling. Calling those encyclopedic details "laughable

As @Praxidicae: was not able to justify his reverts by stating how they violated any WP's policy, seemed unfamiliar w/ WP:BLP and other WP's policies, and could not produce an argument in re: of WP's policies, esp.
