This page is for reporting active edit warriors and recent violations of restrictions like the three-revert rule.

• See this guide for instructions on creating diffs for this report.
• If you see that a user may be about to violate the three-revert rule, consider warning them by placing {{subst:uw-3rr}} on their user talk page.

You must notify any user you have reported.

You may use {{subst:An3-notice}} ~~~~ to do so.

You can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

Additional notes

• When reporting a user here, your own behavior will also be scrutinized. Be sure you understand WP:REVERT and the definitions below first.
• The format and contents of a 3RR/1RR report are important, use the "Click here to create a new report" button below to have a report template with the necessary fields to work from.
• Possible alternatives to filing here are dispute resolution, or a request for page protection.
• Violations of other restrictions, like WP:1RR violations, may also be brought here. Your report should include two reverts that occurred within a 24-hour period, and a link to where the 1RR restriction was imposed.

User is also edit warring over the same content at Boycott and are over 3rr there as well and they were also warned there before getting to four User talk:CurryCity#Edit warring at Boycott. User has also been informed of discretionary sanctions in place in the topic area Uyghur genocide . User seems well are of 3rr, see their comment at User talk:Xoltered "3rr gets everyone sometimes it seems." . If more is required or any questions are had give me a ping, but I think this should be more than enough. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 15:47, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

There are also pretty clear indicators of WP:GAMING here, e.g.

• Arguing that the fourth revert within 17 hours was a not a revert because of a minor variation in the parameters of the reinserted template (just 11 minutes after having described that edit as a revert themselves)
• Obfuscatory WP:HUH? arguments ("If you are saying removing is revert, adding is also revert, that just makes everything into reverts???" , "in substance it wasn't a revert, because your reason for reverting me was false" )

Regards, HaeB (talk) 17:52, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

My edits were consistent with show of good faith, completely omitted from Horse Eye's Back's version of events:

Diff 1: Not only were there 3 editors vs HorseEB on that issue in Talk:2022 Winter Olympics#Rounding up, I pinged HorseEB (Diff 0a) on 01:25, 2 February 2022, waited 24h to write my position after inputs from Xoltered and HiLo48 (Diff 0b), before making my edit on 20:28, 3 February 2022‎ (Diff 1), almost 30h after pinging, a duration that took into consideration HorseEB's active hours.

Diff 2: Right after this, I made a consecutive edit (Diff 2b) incorporating HorseEB's input, showing willingness to compromise. In essence, I had reverted part of my own edit as well.

Diff 3: I had no idea who Sportsfan 1234 was, who had never engaged in our discussion section on this issue before, and gave no actual reason for reverting my already modified edit incorporating HorseEB's input.

Horse Eye's Back's lumping everything together obfuscates what was going on:

Diff 4: Tagging is used to hint that the reader should be aware of certain things. It is atrocious to lump this together with the editing of content. Also notice that nothing else was touched by me. Diff 4 was not a reversion at all.

Diff 5: I added material from source without changing previous meaning, and some copyediting, so that the text about Qi Fabao is supported by the source. I was going to add a more reliable source as well before getting sidetracked by HorseEB. It's a BLP matter for the most part, and again not a reversion of anything before.

Diff 6: I added the wording of "allegation" from the source itself; this point had never been raised by other editors. Again, not a reversion. (in retrospect that might have been a revert CurryCity (talk) 08:15, 5 February 2022 (UTC))

Discussion about HaeB and Horse Eye's Back:

Tagging has been discussed above already. As for the template describing a reversion that wasn't, it was explained and retracted. HaeB bringing up something they already understand serves no purpose. I would also like to bring up HaeB's misleading edit summary ("deleting the link here") while reverting, even though what they chose to revert had not removed any links. To accomodate HaeB's point of "Cf. talk page - well-supported by cited ref", I added ? to the tag, because despite HaeB's perspective, there was no consensus on that, and not hinting at an active debate would be misleading to readers. However, despite multiple explanations such as "It's a different param with ? to indicate ongoing discussion in Talk instead of surety" and "I changed to without surety", they ignore all reasoning and only care to talk about something else ("from "reason=see Talk" to "reason=ongoing debate in Talk") that's not even visible to almost any readers". The overall impression I have is that neither HaeB nor HorseEB cares about discussing editing objectively, factually, and fairly; especially HorseEB, whose priority appears to include labeling editors with 'edit war' and spamming it: "Its. Still. Edit. Warring." and "Its still a revert of HaeB's edit" and "It would still be edit warring regardless of what edits follow it" and "Why wait? It would still be edit warring and "even with the amendment its still edit warring", most of this occuring in a Talk section titled "Sourcing" while I was still amending edits: "You can't wait minutes for someone to finish editing before accusing them of edit warring?". In a final WP:HUH?, HorseEB wrote "Be specific, what exactly is this wikivoice statement and why do you say that it unsupported by sources?", even though they were the one that had opened the section with "Can you explain how "...to protest the Uyghur genocide..." is unsupported by a source"? I don't have any intention to 'edit war'; on the other hand, certain editors who are more experienced and coordinated (see point below about Sportsfan 1234) appear to be abusing the technicalities of Misplaced Pages's policy and guidelines while violating the spirit of its five pillars, effectively thwarting good faith efforts from other editors who might hold different opinions.

Is the unique rendering of my handle as "HorseEB" meant to imply that HaeB and I have some sort of inappropriate relationship? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:01, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

No I don't believe you are. CurryCity (talk) 22:18, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for clarifying. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:54, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Discussion about "Boycott" article:

Again, Sportsfan 1234 came to the rescue on HorseEB's side, despite never engaging in or never going to engage in Talk. We've already discussed taggin, so I won't repeat here. After Mhawk10 provided new source, it was over. CurryCity (talk) 22:18, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Suggestion: Not sure who is the one edit warring here, Horse Eye or CurryCity. My suggestion for the article was stated as: "Suggestion that one of the editors on the Talk page discussion start a formal RFC for this, and no edits on Controversies issues in the lead section until completion of the RFC." Horse Eye rejected this offer and removed it. ErnestKrause (talk) 16:46, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

We don't really do "offers" in edit summaries, your edit removed the entirety of the section from the lead . Horse Eye's Back (talk) 16:51, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

The RFC is a good approach in many dispute situations. Why do you reject it here? My own edit on the page removed one sentence dealing with the Controversy issue while suggesting the RFC as a better course to take; your calling it "the entirety of the section", is inaccurate. ErnestKrause (talk) 16:56, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

You removed the entirety of the disputed section. Its not BLP so why remove it during discussion if the discussion is primarily about what it should say not about whether or not it should exist (its the largest single section so there isn't really much question about it being summarized in the lead to some extent)? You also didn't remove it in your first revert (you just restored a tag, scrubbed Uyghur genocide, and scrubbed human rights in China) so what changed? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 17:00, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Please, somebody use the talk page. If User:ErnestKrause favors an RfC, why not make a proposal on Talk. EdJohnston (talk) 17:06, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

I have used the talk page exhaustively... More than 30 edits in the last week, if User:ErnestKrause makes an RfC I will of course participate (more eyes and opinions is always better and for that reason I encourage ErnestKrause to participate on the talk page, even if they don't open an RfC I look forward to hearing what they have to say). Horse Eye's Back (talk) 17:08, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Adding a synthesis tag is not the same thing as changing the content the tag is applied to, currycity did not break 3rr. Horse Eye's has been edit warring extensively on the page they have reported currycity on and should probably have considered WP:BOOMERANG before making this report. Xoltered (talk) 19:52, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Speaking of Boomerang are you aware that these two edits could be construed as WP:GAMING your week long block from reverting at 2022 Winter Olympics especially in the context of the diffs provided above? @EdJohnston: what say you? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:08, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

What are you talking about? Those are not reverts, the block prevented me from reverting on that page for 1 week and i have not done so, you seem to be engaged in a bad faith attempt to get me blocked. Please stop. Xoltered (talk) 23:10, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Also note, one of those isn't even on the page in discussion, and so is irrelevant, (the other, is entirely new content which i added (not a revert)). Xoltered (talk) 23:17, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

It's very clear that CurryCity violated 3RR with their edits:

• Per WP:3RR, An edit or a series of consecutive edits that manually reverses or undoes other editors' actions — whether in whole or in part — counts as a revert.
• At 07:32 on 3 February 2022, CurryCity made an edit that removed reference to the Uyghur genocide as a reason for countries engaging in diplomatic boycott from the lead.
• At 17:43 on 3 February 2022, CurryCity made an edit which reverted Horse Eye's Back. CurryCity's edit removed reference to the Uyghur genocide as a reason for countries engaging in diplomatic boycott from the lead. This was CurryCity's first revert.
• At 18:24 on 3 February 2022, CurryCity made an edit which has a summary indicating that it was intended to revert an edit made by Sportsfan 1234. CurryCity's restoration completely undid this edit by Ironman1104, which was a copyedit. The edit also changed due to the ongoing Uyghur genocide and human rights abuses in China to due to human rights violations in China amidst allegations of atrocities against Uyghurs This was CurryCity's second revert.
• At 20:28 on 3 February 2022, CurryCity made an edit to insert a tag to dispute whether or not due to the ongoing Uyghur genocide and human rights abuses in China is novel synthesis.
• At 21:59 on 3 February 2022, CurryCity made an edit to restore a disputed synthesis tag after it was disputed by HaeB. This was CurryCity's third revert.
• At 03:49 on 4 February 2022, CurryCity made an edit. The edit changes due to the ongoing Uyghur genocide and human rights abuses in China to amidst human rights abuses in China and allegations of Uyghur genocide. This was CurryCity's fourth revert. It was also the fourth time in that time that the editor removed the clause due to the ongoing Uyghur genocide from the lead within a 24 hour period.

It's also extremely clear that Horse Eye's Back has not violated the three revert rule this month on 2022 Winter Olympics based off of looking at the user's edit history. Looking through the past 1000 edits on the page (which stretches into October of last year), I can't find any point where Horse Eye's Back has violated the 3RR here. CurryCity (talk · contribs · count), however, has violated 3RR within the past day. There is a real difference here between the appropriateness of the actions of the two editors. — Mhawk10 (talk) 02:12, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

According the reasoning of User:Mhawk10, this adds up to five reverts by CurryCity in a 24 hour period. (I am excluding the 20:28 edit of 3 February, because that time CurryCity was adding a synthesis tag which had not been in the article before, so it was not a revert). EdJohnston (talk) 03:00, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

To be charitable (and in line with how deleting longstanding content that's been in the article since December is counted with respect to 3RR), I would imagine that the bold removal that started this shouldn't be counted as a fifth revert. That being said, there's definitely at least four, which is obviously a violation of WP:3RR. — Mhawk10 (talk) 03:09, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Mhawk10 pointed out a third revert (21:59 on 3 February 2022); that was not a revert. The tag I had inserted was with the code {{Synthesis inline|date=February 2022|sure=yes|reason=see Talk}}. After HaeB gave their revert reason "Cf. talk page - well-supported by cited ref; concerns about the current naming of the linked article are not a justification for deleting the link here", which by the way was untrue regarding any deletion of links, I removed the "sure=yes" so that the new tag would reflect HaeB's objection. Scrolling through the Talk sections, it is factual that there were heated debates going on. Why would HaeB, assuming good faith, want to remove ANY indication of discussion going on regarding synthesis? I pinged HaeB asking which version they wanted to revert back to, whether they wanted to remove any indication whatsoever, but they replied without addressing it. CurryCity (talk) 08:02, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

A minor point, Mhawk10 is looking at my 3RR right after an incident (namely this one). If you were to do so right after an incident involving HorseEB, you might find something as well. The comparison wasn't even-handed. CurryCity (talk) 09:41, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

It was unfair for Sportsfan 1234 to suddenly come in and revert on HorseEB's side not only once but twice, even though they had never engaged in the respective discussions. Amidst all this spamming of 'edit war', flooding relevant pages with that label, trying to count as many reverts against me as possible, throwing accusations at me instead of making even the tiniest compromise or constructive edit, involving other editors whose only contributions were reverts, etc., what HorseEB and HaeB really wanted was to apply WP:COMMONNAME (1 "I like the common name better", 2 "I wanted to use the common name", and 3 "currently chosen to name the article about this topic Uyghur genocide") outside the context of naming an article, in 2022 Winter Olympics and Boycott for instance, even when the sources themselves employ different terms and meanings. In effect, they wanted to override WP:V and WP:NOR. However, if RSes (short of majority) were to say "the genocide against Uyghurs has stopped, but atrocities against them continue", would it make sense to apply the common name, as HorseEB and HaeB insist, and write "the Uyghur genocide has stopped, but Uyghur genocides continue"? Or, if "countries are boycotting China for crimes against humanity but not for genocide", should we blanket apply the common name as well? RSes and the people they quote use specific language and meaning for certain reasons. That is why we should respect WP:V and WP:NOR outside of article naming, even at variance with WP:COMMONNAME, and why I feel HorseEB and HaeB have placed a lopsided emphasis on 3RR, relying on a reversion arm-race against me, while ignoring more important principles. CurryCity (talk) 09:08, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

• Result: User:CurryCity is warned for violating 3RR on Feb. 3rd and 4th per the above. They may be blocked if they revert again at 2022 Winter Olympics in the next seven days. I take note that CurryCity has participated on Talk but that does not excuse the reverting. EdJohnston (talk) 16:02, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you @Arkon: for that last revert. This is my talk page. This is not OK. This is well over the line into harassment along with the edit warring. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 20:30, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Read my edit summary for an explanation, you made a lie about my actions and then repeatedly deleted my response. As stated, i have no intention of continuing any discussion on your talk page as requested. Please move on with your life instead of lying about me deleting messages and deleting my response in which i show it is simply me correcting my own incorrect dating on my own messages. You are aware people can see deleted diffs right? This isn't even an article, and it is simply my own comment, you should also note i stopped before this report was made. Not sure why you feel the need to undo me fixing my own dating on my own message beyond a bad faith attempt to get action taken against me. Xoltered (talk) 23:09, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Just to clarify, (correct if mistaken) it appears Xoltered was only correcting a date tag to their own comment not anything else, so Diff 1 was not a reversion. Neither was Diff 2 where Xoltered added a comment (additional note below). Diff 3 was actually Xoltered first reversion, following HorseEB's revert immediately prior. And after that was reverted by HorseEB for the second time, Xoltered reverted for a second time as well.

I'm not against Horse Eye's Back having most control over their Talk page, but also want to add that respect goes both ways, in light of their openings of high-level warning sections on mine. CurryCity (talk) 00:03, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

You are mistaken, they did not just correct the date tag they removed my note about the date being wrong " Note that despite being dated "23:49, 29 January 2022" this comment was actually made 18:45, 3 February 2022 " Horse Eye's Back (talk) 00:37, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Oh, i thought that was automated, in any case it's obviously justified to remove the note about the date being wrong when correcting the date. Xoltered (talk) 00:41, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

That is not a justification for removing an editor's comment on their own page... Correcting an error doesn't mean that you get to remove the comments which pointed out the error. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 00:43, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

That was not a comment? Just a note about the incorrect time. What? So you think i should have left the note about the incorrect time while it now had a now correct time? Also as stated above i thought the note was automated. Furthermore, what issue do you have with me correcting the time, or providing an explanation for me doing so after you misleadingly claimed that i deleted another user's comment? Xoltered (talk) 00:46, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Notes and comments are the same thing here, they're both my additions to my talk page. You also did delete my comment so I'm not sure whats misleading about it. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 00:50, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

When you say i deleted another user's comment, people will not think i deleted a simple note about an incorrect time while correcting it, but instead believe i deleted an actual comment in discussion from another user. Even so, what issue do you have my reply existing, why did you feel the need to delete it twice, or make this ridiculous report about me reverting 2 (not 4) times my own message being deleted, which already had justification provided for me doing so in the edit summary. Xoltered (talk) 00:52, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

What exactly in WP:TPO do you feel justified your editing a talk page after being asked not to? And not just editing but edit warring your edit back onto the page after it had been removed... Horse Eye's Back (talk) 00:55, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

The link you provided addresses editing other user's comments, in any case Signature cleanup seems to fit this situation quite well. Xoltered (talk) 00:58, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Also note, another section in the page you linked "Behavior that is unacceptable" mentions "Misrepresentation of other people", something that i believe you have done for reasons discussed above. Perhaps you should read that page and acknowledge your mistake and then move on. Xoltered (talk) 01:01, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Further note: This discussion about action on your user page, that page is about talk page guidelines, further proving you did not bother to read the article at all before linking it. Xoltered (talk) 01:04, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Context: Xoltered had already received an administrative warning about edit-warring just this Monday. It's also not the first time that they disagree with their opponents in a China-related controversy about the definition of edit-warring, see (reaction to a warning about edit-warring from Snooganssnoogans), (by Adoring nanny). Similar to CurryCity (thread one above), there also seems to be a pattern of throwing all kinds of counter-accusations at their adversaries, including factually inaccurate ones, which caused to Shibbolethink to advise Xoltered about WP:ASPERSIONS last week . Regards, HaeB (talk) 00:30, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

This is completely irrelevant, what happened is I corrected my incorrect dating in a message, Horse Eye's reverted it and falsely claimed I deleted another user's message, i replied explaining the reality and then they repeatedly deleted my reply while keeping their lies about my action. Xoltered (talk) 00:41, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

But you did delete another user's message... Mine (as you acknowledge in your response above, even if you blame it on the mistaken belief that my message was automated and then claim that the deletion of my comment was "obviously justified"). So not a lie. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 00:46, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

It was not a comment, just a note about the incorrect time, as stated above (please do not duplicate discussion) it is ridiculous to keep the simple note about the incorrect time while correcting the time. Considering your past action however, and the unjustified issue with me correcting it in the first place, i doubt this is a good faith discussion. Xoltered (talk) 00:49, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

You can't remove notes either. Its not ridiculous, its what you need to do. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 00:52, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

So you think it should have been: "Message (signature with correct time) note: this says (incorrect time) but was actually posted at (correct time)"? This is ridiculous, and again not actually what this discussion is about, rather it is claiming I "edit warred" due to reverting back my own reply to what i believe is an incredibly misleading statement about my action 2 (not 4) times. I still do not understand why you take issue with me correcting the time or making the reply. Xoltered (talk) 00:55, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

I don't want to encourage edit warring. That said, HaeB's disclosure of information again could have been more complete and balanced, namely that the revert warning Xoltered received was specific to 1 article: "Result: User:Xoltered is warned for edit warring. They may be blocked if they make any further reverts to 2022 Winter Olympics within the next seven days. EdJohnston (talk) 17:01, 31 January 2022 (UTC)". CurryCity (talk) 01:06, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Indeed i think horseeye's might have been dissapointed by the result of that report and wishes to use this report to have action taken against me despite my clear lack of edit warring. Xoltered (talk) 01:19, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Jumping in here, since I commented on the talk page of Horse Eye's Back: I really don't understand this edit, which falsely backdated an edit warring notice to January 29, making it appear as if it were issued at a different point in time than it was actually given. The edit notice was actually given on February 3, not January 29. This happened well after I questioned why the edit warring notice was given to Horse Eye's Back on February 3 despite there not being anything this month on 2022 Winter Olympics that could have justified giving the warning, especially given that the template is made to get people who are currently engaged in an edit war to stop edit warring. — Mhawk10 (talk) 01:12, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

That happened because i copied the notice from another user's page, however i accidentally copied the date too, It should be noted this discussion is primarily about me fixing the incorrect date (some of the diffs above which horseeye falsely claims are revision show this) which should make it clear it was a genuine mistake. Xoltered (talk) 01:16, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Infact, it was your mentioning of the incorrect date that alerted me that it was incorrect and so i fixed it. Xoltered (talk) 01:17, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

To clarify, the "incorrect date" I was mentioning was with respect to the heading. I also pushed back on substantial grounds, since the notice didn't appear to address issues that were ongoing. — Mhawk10 (talk) 02:23, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

I am aware, i also fixed that and that was also undone by Horse Eye. Xoltered (talk) 05:10, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

I think this discussion should end. Simply put, i removed a note about an incorrect dating after my own comment which i believed was automated but was actually from HorseEye, while correcting the time. HorseEye then said i should not reply on their talk page and reverted my correction of the dating and i replied to that clarifying the situation and saying i would no longer do so. They reverted my reply and i reverted my reply back two (not four) times as i believe it is important people understand the reason i did the original edit, however after a revision by another unrelated editor i decided not to continue doing so. This report is ridiculous, this discussion is ridiculous. The list of diffs even falsely claims two diffs of entirely new content are revisions, and given that i clearly stated my intention not to continue making replies and did not revert the most recent revision before this was made I don't think HorseEye is genuinely concerned about my action but rather is not engaging in good faith and wishes action to be taken against me due to unrelated disputes on other pages. Either way i hope this report will be closed soon. Xoltered (talk) 01:16, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

• This is not a reasonable case for the edit-warring noticeboard. Rather than bickering over comments on a user talk page it would be better to focus on the underlying issue which seems to be 2022 Winter Olympics and probably other articles judging by the intensity. @Horse Eye's Back: Sorry but whatever Xoltered's sins on other pages may or may not be, it is not reasonable to object to them correcting their timestamp blunder and it would be unreasonable to insist that your assertion about the date being wrong be retained after the date was corrected. I suppose if you really wanted to win the battle you could add a new note saying that originally Xoltered posted an incorrect date, then fixed it when their mistake was pointed out. The edit warring concerns Xoltered reposting a comment which, in their mind, sets the record straight regarding an assertion you made about them. I would agree that Xoltered's templated notice was badly implemented and very inadequately explained when you reasonably asked what the concern was. However, my recommendation would be to delete the section from your talk and save energy for articles. Johnuniq (talk) 01:19, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

I think you are correct in pointing out that an edit war on a widely read mainspace article is more consequential than an edit war on a user's talk page. However, WP:3RR still applies to both, and we can't tell editors they must refrain from bringing policy violations to this noticeboard if they "only" occurred on a user talk page.

it is not reasonable to object to them correcting their timestamp blunder - what edit does that refer to? I though the objection was rather about trying to delete Horse Eye's Back's note that that comment had originally been posted with a misleading timestamp. I realize how insisting to document such an issue could seem to appear a bit petty when viewed in isolation, but take the possibility into account that editors who have had the opportunity to observe patterns in Xoltered's editing a bit more may take a different view - see also Mhawk10's comment above about how that "blunder" may not have been such a small matter.

There also seems to be a tension between WP:NOBAN and the insinuation that Xoltered might have been justified in edit-warring about reposting a comment which, in their mind, sets the record straight ... way after the recipient's formal request to cease editing that user talk page.

Regards, HaeB (talk) 02:38, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

The page linked specifies "without good reason" the good reason is provided both when they were made and above in this discussion. Furthermore, even if I were violating that it would not be edit warring. Xoltered (talk) 05:09, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

• Result: No action taken. The level of concern expressed in the posts here seems out of proportion to the original issue. Be aware that users can revert on their own talk page without penalty under the exceptions to 3RR. Admin User:Johnuniq has given a more detailed assessment of the issue above, concluding that "This is not a reasonable case for the edit-warring noticeboard." This whole thing seems to be a spillover from a dispute at 2022 Winter Olympics. EdJohnston (talk) 18:31, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

• No violation – It seems that User:Rastinition has provided a good explanation of his concern, so I hope the matter is now resolved. The claim that Rastinition is 'deliberately focused on removing Chinese sources' is troublesome, so I hope that nobody makes that claim again without good evidence. It is unclear whether User:Nirmaljoshi understands Rastitinion's advice not to use content farms. At any rate, WP:RSN is available to settle disputes about quality of sources. Rastinition is not just saying that the sentence used too many references, but that content farms should not be cited at all. EdJohnston (talk) 18:56, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

You neglected to mention that I was the one who started the discussion on the article's talk page. And, read the sentence the way you prefer it. It is the longest-running professional wrestling event in history. That can only mean one thing. I tried rewording it, to correct it. And, for whatever reason, you prefer it to sound like WrestleMania 1 is still happening. But I won't bother trying to correct very badly worded articles like that again. So, you "win", for what that's worth. And anyway, I'm off to MSG now to watch the still-running WrestleMania 1. 197.89.19.211 (talk) 08:51, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

• The IP is warned that if they resume editing at the article, they risk being blocked without further notice. Your aggressive/attacking style is separately sanctionable, and you have been blocked before for it. Chip3004, reports here require diffs, not links. Your presentation forced me to do all the work myself. Also, your messaging at the IP's Talk page is dreadful. First, with the exception of one edit that was reverted by ClueBot, the IP's edits were not vandalism. Second, you insisted on repeating messages after the IP removed them, which was their right. Third, you double-messaged making the IP's Talk page a mess, all of which they blanked.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:07, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Diffs of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: We had a discussion on my talk page my main point here. Regrettably, the discussion was almost immediately made personal by Atlantic306, given almost right away I was accused of having a conflict of interest. Other instances, such as "I am not your mate" further heighten the suspicion that the edit was mistakenly taken personally, when that was not at all the intention of the edit. Even in the report, Atlantic306 seems to suggest an undermining of my position as just someone critical of Pallotta, which again, ignored all the arguments put forward - see below. As I stated on many occasions, the core of the inquiry is on accuracy and truthfulness, which is not personal. I tried to put forward many reasons for why using the word "billionaire" was inaccurate and misleading, but as evidenced by the discussion, all of the arguments were ignored. I tried informing Atlantic306 that the source is an old article from a 2006 issue of the Boston Magazine, which cannot consider the 2009 crisis in which Pallotta lost most of his assets. Further, I pointed out that the magazine itself offered no source or evidence of where how the information was obtained. I tried to inform Atlantic306 that Pallotta is also not present on the Forbes list, which was ultimately ignored as well. While the source might have been accurate over 15 years ago, currently it would be dangerously misleading to suggest Pallotta is a "billionaire" without any evidence of it. I believe we should strive to put out accurate and truthful information, which was the point of my edit - regrettably, an edit war was initiated by Atlantic306 because presumably the edit was taken as a personal attack and no efforts were made in trying to resolve the issue, other than personal attacks such as the insinuation of a conflict of interest.

Comments:

User:Atlantic306 continued to revert that Pallotta is a billionnaire, despite evidence to the contrary. I have tried a discussion on my userpage but as shown above and by the discussion itself, it was made personal by Atlantic306 and, at least presumably, never entered with a bona fide intent to come to a resolution, as the attacks and ignoring of arguments regrettably confirm. Asfedayn (talk) 6:50, 6 February 2022 (PTC)

• I have not edit-warred or I wouldn't have kept your version. As for you calling me a mate that was not sincere and I haven't attacked you in any way at all,Atlantic306 (talk) 02:59, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

As can be seen by the searches on the talkpage there is recent coverage that calls him a billionnaire and there is also some coverage that calls him a millionnaire so it is not a clear cut case you have suggested, Atlantic306 (talk) 03:05, 7 February 2022 (UTC) Asking if you have a coi is common practice if you have only edited his article and saying you were critical of him as shown here is not a criticism, just stating the facts. Also I have no coi myself, Atlantic306 (talk) 03:18, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

• No violation – I encourage further discussion on Boston Magazine's claim from 2006 that Pallotta is a billionaire. It seems that Pallotta has not made it into the Forbes list of billionaires. When there is conflict of sources, some qualification may be needed. Actual billionaires tend to be conspicuous and be widely covered in the press. There is at present no discussion of sources on the article talk page. EdJohnston (talk) 19:24, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
