• Previous version reverted to: VersionTime

Repeated deletion of the proper link to an article (from Bob Evans (restauranteur) to a nonexistent Bob Evans (restaurateur)) on the Robert Evans disambiguation page.

• I'm not sure if this will help resolve the issue with the title, but the word in the title is properly spelled "restaurateur" (not "restauranteur"). Alansohn 22:43, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Answer: the word "restauranteur" not only is a recognized word, but it also is in numerous articles within Misplaced Pages. For example, Cameron Mitchell (restauranteur) that was written on 13 August 2005. There are many more places where this word is used. Please make the changes to all the pages that show up when the word "restauranteur" is searched within Misplaced Pages. However, the point I am trying to make is not even the spelling, but the deliberate removal of a proper link from the disambiguation page (at least until someone moved the page just now). Thank you, CZmarlin 22:23, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

• I don't disagree that there may be valid 3RR issues here. But if the argument is about the spelling, the drastically preferred version is "restaurateur" (not "restauranteur"). You may want to take a look at "Bob Evans, 89, Restaurateur With Chain Built on Sausage, Dies", an obituary of Bob Evans from The New York Times, that uses "Restaurateur" in the title. A Google News Archive search with the "N" finds 4,680 articles; the same http://news.google.com/archivesearch?um=1&tab=wn&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=restaurateur Google News Archive search without the "N" in the word] brings up 110,000 articles. The word "restauranteur" may exist as a non-preferred spelling, but there's no reason it should be used here. Alansohn 22:43, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Answer: I won't repeat the arguments in favor of "restaurateur." I'm disappointed that my (respected) opponent reverted the drastically preferred version 3 times in 24 hours, before any transgressions on my side. Iterator12n 01:35, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Comment: Once again I will repeat that I have nothing against the use of either variant of the word - with or without the "n" in it - that means "restaurant-keeper" from the French. Please keep in mind that "restauranteur (pronounced RES-tuhr-ahn-TUHR or -TOOR), by analogy with the fully anglicized restaurant, is commonly heard and seen, and most dictionaries consider it a standard variant spelling and pronunciation" . Sure it may "raise conservative eyebrows", but I was not going to prejudge all the contributors that had used this version of the word. This includes the original article's title about the historic restaurant chain entrepreneur. Nevertheless, spelling is not the main point of this discussion. Moreover, I am NOT an "opponent" of anyone. Rather, I tried to correct a broken link to an existing article. It was reverted three times by a fellow editor. That was disappointing and served no purpose no matter how "drastically preferred version" of the word. Why would someone insist on reverting to a broken link? Furthermore, the comments made in the process were less than civil. Why would an editor have to stoop so low as to say use of restauranteur shows a lack of erudition? on 11:19, 25 June 2007, by Iterator12n. In any case, the problem is moot since as of 16:54, 25 June 2007, Zsero has moved Bob Evans (restauranteur) to Bob Evans (restaurateur). I trust they will be very busy changing all the occurrences of the word restauranteur within Misplaced Pages... CZmarlin 02:36, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Whoever looks at this, I reverted three times, not one time more. Finally, pls count me in re. end-of-discussion. Cheers. Iterator12n 03:24, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I have explained many times that this is a WP:BLP issue, both in my edit summaries, and on the article Talk: page. The material in question is essentially libelous material about Alan Dershowitz, and I have reminded the editors on the page that Jimbo himself deleted the Alan Dershowitz page and re-created it as a stub in December 2005 when it contained similar material. I have also explained to them that WP:BLP#Remove unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material is quite clear: Where the material is derogatory and unsourced or poorly sourced, the three-revert rule does not apply. These principles apply to biographical material about living persons found anywhere in Misplaced Pages, including user and talk pages. Administrators may enforce the removal of such material with page protection and blocks, even if they have been editing the article themselves. Editors who re-insert the material may be warned and blocked. Indeed, my next steps will likely be to either protect the article, or block the editors in question, if this does not stop. Jayjg 01:36, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Apart from the fact that the report is submitted invalidly (we need diffs, not versions, so that we can actually see that it's a revert) this is a BLP issue, and the three-revert rule does not apply. ElinorD (talk) 01:51, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

This is a difficult issue, because it's an instance of the source being okay (Frank Menetrez), but the publication not (Counterpunch), at least not for contentious claims about living persons. It's especially difficult because the source calls someone's work "fraudulent." As Elinor said, we should discuss it on the BLP noticeboard, so that others can weigh in. Perhaps the same issue has been discussed in a more reliable publication. SlimVirgin 01:56, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry if I posted the report incorrectly. I didn't understand the instructions, and would appreciate it if someone could reply on my talk page with a simple guide.

On the substance, the issue is not defamation of Dershowitz, but defence of Finkelstein against Dershowitz's defamation of him. If we are to allow reference to the attacks, we surely must allow reference to a thorough response. I note that SlimVirgin accepts Menetrez as an acceptable source. She is wrong, however, about the publication. The link I posted was NOT to Counterpunch, but to a later, revised, version of Menetrez's research, published on Finkelstein's own website. If we cannot allow reference to Finkelstein's own site in order to refute the attacks oon him, we really are in danger of breaching BLP in this article. RolandR 10:09, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Dear Misplaced Pages,

I'm not quite sure what to fill in all of these spots so please forgive my ignorance. After a few weeks of discussing changes and receiving encouragement from other editors on the Sahaj Marg page (particularly 4-d Don, that all can edit) I spent several hours this morning re-ordering and editing the Sahaj Marg page. I then tried to engage Shashwat Pandey in discussions to work further on the page. He immediately reverted my page back EIGHT times today.

One person, Sfacets, reverted it and then said the page was in drastic need of changes so he put it back to my edits.

I am new to Wiki but it doesn't seem right that we make edits and then one person reverts your edits immediately. At first I thought it was a mistake, some mishap with my computer, and I tried to resave the page, but it kept getting changed.

Help is appreciated. I'm willing to go to mediation over this.

Renee --reneeholle 13:30, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Renee, please use the article talk page, but as an experienced contributor, Shashwat should have known better. As such, I have blocked him for 24 hours. Riana (talk) 19:39, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Ksyrie, we discussed this numerous times on the Korean War talk page. I even proposed a suggestion, about listing both sets of numbers as estimates, and right afterwards you went in and made the Chinese number a "fact" while flagging the US number as "dubious", clearly POV-pushing. Listing both sets of numbers as estimates clearly gives both sides ample oppurtunity to express their "estimates" without labeling the other side as correct or incorrect. This can be left to the individual reader based upon the the sources cited, though as I said, politicians and diplomats are not known for their truthfulness, but more for how well they make others believe their untruthfulness. Regarding your listed edits of removing the pictures, I included those to make the case for your apparent POV-pushing. If the currect version or a future edit or revery reflects what you consider to be anti-Chinese, you edit the article to your way of thinking without regard for the concensus of opinion of other editors, and no matter how reverts are done, you still maintain your posistion without providing "reliable" source information (see again my comment about the "reliability" of politicians and diplomats). This is getting out of hand (again), and I apologize to the mediators for this. Ksyrie, please sign off on the Mediation request if you are indeed attempting to negotiate in good faith. wbfergus 18:07, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

What you thought to be an estimation of chinese number is only in your mind,but not in the reference or anyother source,wikipedia require verifiable source supporting but not original research,Your claiming the chinese number as estimation is just OR,And for the american number,in the BBC source which is cited clearly said it is Pantagon estimate.If you can find any reliabe and verifiable source to say the chinese number is an estimate,you can just keep it,but if you can't provide the source,the removal of it will be in agreement with the Misplaced Pages:Verifiability--Ksyrie(Talkie talkie) 18:27, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

This is NOT the forum for this, per the "rules" at the top of the page. Please continue this at Korean War talk page discussion 1 or Korean War talk page discussion 2 wbfergus 18:35, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

• Previous version 07:09, June 24; under the header "disputed deletions," he removed "Administrators should seek consensus before undeleting material that has been deleted citing this policy ..." (emphasis added). It's the words "citing this policy" that Ned has been reverting for days.

Comment

Ned has been reverting for days against multiple editors. He wants to remove that admins who delete bios "citing this policy" (i.e. BLP) should not be reverted without consensus. He has been blocked three times previously for 3RR. SlimVirgin 23:42, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

• Editor has been blocked for 48 hours. This is the fourth 3RR violation, and he was just blocked for 3RR 3 days ago. Jayjg 00:36, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
• This appears to be the second time tonight Ned has violated the spirit of 3RR, see here. Matthew 01:26, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
  • I was actually about to request another 3RR block on Ned for a different article, Juice Plus, where he's got 4 reverts in 26 hours. I would also point out that he was just 3RR blocked on that article a few days ago, and I actually supported the concept that he be unblocked, if he promised that he'd participate at the talkpage instead of revert-warring on the article. At 04:27 on June 24 he agreed and said, "I'm done with that article completely." So he was unblocked, but then at 21:49 on June 24, he was right back to Juice Plus and edit-warring again. I think this time we need to let him sit out the block, rather than releasing it early with a promise of good behavior. Ned needs to go do something off-wiki for awhile. --Elonka 01:34, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
    • Elonka seems to be presenting a skewed version of the events. Ned’s reverts on the Juice Plus page were justified because Elonka had arbitrarily deleted referenced content that was under discussion and did so by using misleading edit summaries (i.e. “Copyediting/condensing for readability”, “Added more historical info”) that disguised the true nature of her edits. Elonka had raised an argument about the content based on WP:NOT which, as Ned had pointed out, was inapplicable in this case. Several editors were discussing the content and no consensus was raised to delete it but Elonka deleted it anyway (twice) and did so in a very deceptive manner. Matthew, who is a apparently a buddy of Elonka’s, jumped in to the fray and deleted the content again without providing any explanation for his reversion on the Talk page. This seemed very provocative and as though it were intended to precipitate an edit war with Ned. IMO Ned is not at the root of the problem in this case. Blocking him for his actions on the Juice Plus page would be unwarranted and unlikely to help ease tensions. Rhode Island Red 14:20, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
      • Well, since Red wants to speak up here, I would point out that there are WP:OWN and WP:SPA issues here as well. For more information, please see Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Rhode Island Red. --Elonka 17:34, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
        • Several editors have stated that the RfC you launched was out of line and no conclusions have yet been reached on it. But regardless, that RfC has nothing to do with the fact that you helped to precipitate this current revert war with Ned by inappropriately deleting content and disguising the changes with misleading edit summaries. I think it would be reasonable for you to accept at least some responsibility for the current conflict you are having with Ned, rather than arguing that he should be blocked. His reversion of your questionable edits does not seem at all unreasonable and he did not violate 3RR in this case. Rhode Island Red 14:56, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Then they're calling me POV and trying to block me for what any reasonable person would describe as neutral edits. I'm sorry wikipedia, you've got yourselves a cabal here. This is quite shocking. - Yours

Actually one of your reverts removed my addition of both "East Jerusalem" and the sources you provided. Instead of discussing the attempted compromise on the talk page, you summarily reverted it. nadav (talk) 09:58, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

With due respect, I don't think it is fair to protect the version established by one IP's 10RR against that endorsed by four other users. I'm aware of the "wrong version" issues, but this case really is one where the established users are being punished for following policy, and some random IP's disruption is rewarded. Please reconsider, Tewfik 09:58, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Such lock encourages further disruptions. ←Humus sapiens 10:05, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm also disappointed that the IP editor is being effectively rewarded for a huge 3RR violation. But in any case, he should still be blocked. nadav (talk) 10:23, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

• Plumbago was correcting vandalism by 216.125.49.252, and 3RR does not apply to correcting vandalism. Meaning this filing is a bogus filing to sideline or intimidate those who've opposed 216.125.49.252's vandalism. This filing is a misuse of process, an attempt to game the system. I've suggested that he withdraw it. Odd nature 20:15, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

This is unfair to Plumbago. This edit where the anonymous editor tried to redirect the article, without any discussion whatsoever, and without any edit summary, would indicate that 216.125.49.252 was a vandal, even after assuming a lot of good faith. To all of us, this was nothing more than vandalism that needed reverting, and if Plumbago wasn't so fast in the reverts, I would have contributed likewise, and my name would have been thrown up here. This is very sad. Orangemarlin 23:24, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

3RR appears to have actually occured and while some of the edits look ill-advised none seem to be vandalism per se. However, since one of the edits was reversion of whole-sale redirecting of a very large article, I'm not going to block. Now everyone please try to play nice. JoshuaZ 23:52, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

For the record, it transpires that I may have bitten a newcomer. I should have exercised more caution and avoided an edit war, but I would stand by my original assessment that the anon looked and acted like a vandal (thanks for the support Odd nature and Orangemarlin). Anyway, in case the anon is still reading, I've written a longer reply at my talkpage. My apologies for causing this unnecessary blow-up. Cheers, --Plumbago 13:44, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

• Sorry but its not a 3RR to revert vandalism, your constant reverts with only the summary of "rv" are against Misplaced Pages policy. You are not allowed to do a wholesale revert in any case other then vandalism. Please see appropriate policy. Furthermore you are actually removing content and misstating a source. The word you keep adding "conspiracy theorist" in relation to the source is not what the source says, I posted the exact quote, and you removed it without any reason given. As well as Aude who stated I was putting words in the sources mouth. The source itself is and on paragraph 9, you can see the exact wording. Your removal, and misstating of the content is vandalism and is then permitted to be reverted. --SixOfDiamonds 13:04, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

  And now more people appear to add the incorrect statement back without stating why. Still using the source as a reference to something it does not say. Is not misstating a reference against Misplaced Pages policy? --SixOfDiamonds 13:07, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

So far you have reverted me, Dman727, MONGO, and Rx StrangeLove. Are we all vandals? Tom Harrison 13:11, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Read WP:VAND before you accuse four editors of vandalism again.--MONGO 13:17, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Maybe you should: "Sometimes important verifiable references are deleted with no valid reason(s) given in the summary. However, significant content removals are usually not considered to be vandalism where the reason for the removal of the content is readily apparent by examination of the content itself, or where a non-frivolous explanation for the removal of apparently legitimate content is provided, linked to, or referenced in an edit summary." You removed verifiable information from a verifiable reference, then inserted information not contained in that reference, then proceeded to not explain why in your justification. --SixOfDiamonds 13:20, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

To save me the time in tracking your edits, would you care to state now what other accounts you previously used prior to creating the SixOfDiamonds account? We did discuss wioth you on the article talkpage and you did not get a consensus for the changes you have been edit warring on. See WP:EW--MONGO 13:24, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

This is the only account the IP. I was told by others in my field about Misplaced Pages and the policy driven environment. Perhaps I should have been given more warning over the hostility of opposing views in the community. Unfortunately having me cited for 3RR will not change the outcome of the AfD. Just to reiterate, I do not see you defending against the above claim of vandalism. Also since you seem to be an established editor, I am not sure why you keep misstating the source. If you feel the source is invalid, as you argued on the talk page, the proper measure would be to seek removing it, not misstating it, which is against Misplaced Pages policy. --SixOfDiamonds 14:13, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

This user is an administrator; no 3RR warning necessary. Jav43 02:11, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

I think this is the second time you've done this, Jav. What you're calling the fourth revert was just me continuing to edit the article. There was no revert. SlimVirgin 02:21, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Second time? What are you talking about?

And no, the fourth revert includes a) removing the link to the main article, b) removing tags to different sections, and c) removing the statement that proponents of factory farming say factory farming improves food safety. That's a clear revert. Jav43 02:24, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

It's not a revert; it's an edit. If someone had just added that material, and I immediately removed it, that would count as a revert. But it's been there for awhile e.g. (c) the food safety thing has been there for months without a source, even though we asked for one several times. The difference between you and me, Jav, is that you're at Misplaced Pages for the sole purpose of removing that one image. I do other things, including editing this and other articles. So while almost every edit you make is a revert, that's not the case with me. Not quite. :-) SlimVirgin 02:29, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Erm. You're wrong about me. And I'm tired of you saying such things about me. But that's irrelevant.

It's a revert. Read this . Jav43 02:31, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't see the fourth as a revert (the version claimed to be "reverted to" did have the "main" tag, did have the example header, etc.), so that looks like a normal edit. I would, however, from a look at the history, caution everyone involved in that history that they're treading awfully close to the line, and you don't have to go over three to get blocked if you're reverting consistently enough. It looks like a mediator might be called for here, that's a much better option than having to block anyone. Seraphimblade 02:32, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

I suggested mediation and filed an RfM, but there are several editors involved and a couple of them refused to take part, so it couldn't go ahead. Jave is a pro- factory farming single-issue account that has been trying to remove that image for months, and instead insert one of cows who are practically lying on a beach sipping pina coladas. Anyway, thanks for the input. SlimVirgin 02:37, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

I also agreed to mediation. I'll decline to respond to SV's personal attacks and irrelevant commentary. Jav43 02:43, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

User has an extensive block log, he games 3RR here by waiting exactly 30 minutes past the 24-hour mark for his fourth revert. - Merzbow 03:45, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

There's a lot of reversion going on here from many editors... as a start, I protected the page to allow discussion to achieve consensus. Still looking at the 3rr report though. Sancho 04:50, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Also, 24 hour block. Sancho 05:09, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Actually, there is no need for a block, since the edit warring is already prevented from the page protection. This was a hasty decision... Giovanni33 will be unblocked. Sancho 05:12, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

He reverted twice as much as anyone else. The block will serve as a useful record in his block log of how he handles editing disputes. So I'd say you've done the right thing. - Merzbow 05:53, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for not blocking me, and removing the block. It was the right thing, esp. since I was restoring valid sorced material from those editor who were blanking it, without consensus. Even, then, in protecting this article, I did not violate the 3RR rule, although it does not apply in the case of vandalism. I think that blanking sourced material qualifies as such.Giovanni33 18:40, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Giovanni, you must have one of the worst block records on Misplaced Pages. Restoring valid sourced material is not a reason to violate 3RR. Everyone thinks that what they're doing is valid, so if that were an excuse, we'd have chaos. Please make sure you never violate it again, no matter the reason. SlimVirgin 22:34, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

I tried RC patrol. And I made a stupid mistake. Before that, I thought I was doing OK and wanted to get feedback from others about my RC patrol.

Vandalism reversions are certainly allowed. Please continue. If you like patrolling RC, you should read WP:CVU, and also perhaps install WP:TWINKLE, it makes the warning system much easier (I notice you didn't warn any of the vandals that you reverted). Sancho 15:15, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

I think I can guess what happened here. Tell me if I'm close. IP editor, you copy&pasted from the previous 3RR report, and added the 4th alleged revert, right? Then, either you or another editor removed the 'no vio', because this instance wasn't decided on yet. Baka, you saw someone removing 'no vio', and put it back in, assuming it was vandalism, right?

  Reverting BTfromLA's effort at a compromise. This one says it all. Revert back to his "favorite version" over the edits of four (4) other editors from all sides of the fence.

Comment - User: RookZERO's tendentious use of revert as an "editing tool" is disrupting the editing process at Scientology. A couple of editors from both sides of the fence, myself as a Scientologist, BTfromLA, whom I consider something of a critic, and a couple other editors have been working together in good faith to hammer out something that we can all live with. If you are familiar at all with the editing climate in the Scientology articles you will know that that is something of a miracle. User: RookZERO is acting in a fashion that is disruptive to the process, pushing his POV by repeated reverts and, in the process, also destroying edits that have nothing to do with his main bone of contention. His last revert says it all, please see my comment above. User: RookZERO has a history of disruptive editing with two recent blocks for 3RR violation along with recent talk page warnings that may have not been reported. --Justanother 17:44, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

And just to underscore what we are dealing with; subsequent to my posting this incident, RookZERO followed me over to another article, one he had not edited in over three weeks, to revert my considered and NPOV edit, here. --Justanother 23:05, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

As long as I am here, how do I fix my diff/time postings. I really tried to get it right but must be doing something wrong. Any help on that would be great too. Thanks. Turtlescrubber 21:22, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

The page was created over the vigorous objections of User:Turtlescrubber and another user (see Talk:Sicko (film). Their objection was that no extended discussion over the controversy surrounding Moore's film, however balanced and fair, could possibly be warranted. After the page was created, they conducted their own version of WP:OWN. In vigorously defending a neutral article, I did unwittingly step over the 3RR line. I attempted to fix the mistake when it was brought to my attention. I didn't entirely revert because I didn't think that was necessary (some content is in different spots than before my final revert), but if that's necessary, I'll do that too. The revert I did make in an attempt to fix was ... immediately reverted by some other editor. Noroton 21:34, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Another point: Just like Turtlescrubber's arguments at the talk pages for Sicko (film), and Controversies over the film Sicko the description of what's been going on is completely biased. What reversions I did make were mixed in among lengthy, lengthy, lengthy discussion involving attempts on my part to reach consensus, reversions by other editors and some successful efforts at consensus. Rather than post a long list of diffs, I just refer anyone to the lengthy history of both articles and their talk pages. It isn't exactly WP:OWN on my part.Noroton 21:59, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes, there are lengthy talk page posts but no real attempt at consensus. I just want to be able to edit the page (and have other editors make changes) without everything being reverted. That is it. I haven't misrepresented the situation in the slightest and user continues to edit the page ("fixing" a different users attempt at trying to add something to the article)making two more revisions to the article. All I want to do is be able to edit this article.Turtlescrubber 22:13, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm not the blocking admin this time, but I was the first time, and both parties have commented about this issue on my talk page. Because this has become such a mess, with each accusing the other, I'm posting a copy of my comments, in response to the parties as posted on my talk page, here as a matter of record since other admins are involved now as well:

I researched this lates round of accusations and the resulting diffs:

1. This has already been posted at 3RR, and Hanzo has already been blocked for 3RR for 72 hours, an action to which I concur (I probably would have added some time for incivility, but them's the breaks).
2. The diffs provided by Hanzo are culled through, and actually represent a series of edits to footnote and source the text. I don't see a 3RR violation here.
3. Once Hanzo's block is up, if there's a massive removal of material by him, without first detailed discussion of why each of the items is removed, I will protect the page and I will issue vandalism blocks.
4. There's no hurry in writing this or any article. You can take the time to discuss the points with civility like professional academics.

These comments, besides being posted here, are being posted at the users' pages and the article page. Please stop fighting the Battle of the Washita and start cooperating about its article. AKRadecki 15:02, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Not necessary. If it's disruptive enough, you block for 24. Evilclown93_(talk) 23:23, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, I do not understand this 3rr policy very well - users in fact have right to four reverts not to three?

Ok, now as it is of this moment you really did knowlingly break 3RR on Sermon (ruler). Mr. Neutron 23:35, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Neither of you are going to get block. You need at least four reverts to count as 3RR. (but if you mix in 3 reverts with some vandalism, incivillity, personal attacks etc., you'll get blocked as well). Evilclown93_(talk) 23:37, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

He has been blocked for 3RR before, see his log. Then second, you got involved in the case afterall. Third, he did indeed break 3RR, not even by committing more than 3 reverts in 24 hours, but also by gaming it through excessive reverts. Please review the rule. Mr. Neutron 23:45, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Mr. Neutrons word needs to be taken with a grain of salt, as he has made false accusations before. Alexander the great1 23:53, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

The problem is that I did not understand this rule well, so I thought that rule apply to any 3 edits (not only reverts) in 24 hours, but I see now that it apply to 3 reverts after original edit, which mean in fact (if I understand correctly) right to 4 reverts within 24 hours (including original edit). Therefore, I apologize for reporting User:Mr. Neutron because he obviously did not brake the rule and I withdraw my 3rr report against him. Regarding the fact that I was once blocked for 3rr it was long time ago when I was not even aware that this rule exist, and since then I always respected the rule (and I did not only respected this rule that alowed me 4 reverts per 24 hours, but I never had more than 3 reverts per 24 hours because I thought that rule say that). PANONIAN 07:15, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

You still don't. I suggest you read WP:3RR. In particular, it states The rule does not convey an entitlement to revert three times each day, . Three reverts is not a right, it's a hard limit. And no, the 4th edit is what puts you over the line, so if you have 4 reverts (defined for this purpose as any edit that undoes, in whole or in part, the actions of another editor or of other editors). --Stephan Schulz 07:41, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

These reverts were all done during an 'open nomination for merge' that at this time is 1 in favor of the merge and 2 against. He has subsequently unilaterally moved the information to the National Union of General Workers page after waiting 14 hours post nominating the page to be merged.

Would appreciate it if someone could look into this situation. Statisticalregression 09:12, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

This is a bogus request. Statisticalregression has tried on multiple occasions to add the same material over and over without any heed of the discussion and advice from me on how to deal with this matter. He is trying to add dubious sources to stop a page being merged/nominated for deletion. In addition to discussing my objections clearly on the talk page, I have invited the editor twice to put his sources to dispute resolution. I have also asked the user to take some time away from the page, but he would rather escalate the issue. The burden is on him to show that his dubious sources are relevant to the article, and to show that the article about Mr Carlet is not a duplicate of the material already on the Union page, which I have taken great pains to show by including his sources on the union page, where they belong. In any case, I have already said (before this complaint) that I would not edit the article for the next day. Please also note that I will not continue this dispute here. The merge discussion and the discussion of the dubious sources is at Talk:Louis Carlet. Thank you for your time. -- Sparkzilla talk! 09:52, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

There is nothing bogus about it, you did revert 4 times. Furthermore....

• articles that are nominated for a merge (or deletion) are not locked, this gives editors a chance to add information
• I have discussed the sources with you on the talk page and cited WP policy with links that supports my position, you have not
• You insist removing the material I added and when I raised objections on the talk page you started including arguments on a completely different topic, confusing the issue
• You duplicated the material on the Louis Carlet after I had initially added sources you disputed, I have already givin my point of view on the merge issue and how did it suddenly become my responsibility to defend whether there should be a page about Louis Carlet or not?
• I am not choosing to escalate the issue over discussing the material I added, you reverted 4 times which to my understanding is against WP:3RR and feel I those edits are very problematic.
• I would like you to refrain from Ad_hominen arguments and simply stick to the issue at hand. Accusing me of "grasping at straws" or trying to remove material though brute force Proof_by_assertion is unproductive.Statisticalregression 10:40, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

• The entry for 10:26 is in fact not a revert of the information proposed in first revert. The user is adding information to the article regarding sources that were removed. In 11:12 they are re adding information that was removed in 2, again, unrelated to 1. And finally in 4, they are not editing content in 1, 2 or 3. I am not really sure what the issue here is. The edit in 1 is not related to 2 or 3 and the edit in 4 is not related to 1,2 or 3. --SixOfDiamonds 15:55, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

The issue is simple: In the last 8 hours, Stone-put-to-sky undid another's work 4 times, a couple of times with a hostile edit summary. He is trying to maintain the page as his personal essay, exercising veto power over what is added. That's disruptive, and is likely to continue. Tom Harrison 16:04, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

You are an established editor and should know the difference between 3RR and WP:OWN. If you have ownership issues to report, you should do it properly, I know its a time consuming process as it requires burden of proof, but end runs around the system are not the proper way to handle issues. --SixOfDiamonds 16:23, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

The way to handle Stone-put-to-sky's persistent reverting is to report it here, with diffs of the 4 reverts. Beyond that, some uninvolved admin can sort it out. Tom Harrison 18:33, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

There is also a probable 5th revert:

2007-07-01T22:58:1 - (moved Allegations of breaches of international law by the United States to State-sponsored terrorism by the United States)

Moves back count as reverts in WP:3RR. Also note that Stone believes he is entitled to 3 reverts per day - - "I'd revert it, but Tom got me to use up my 3 for the day". He also has recently engaged in personal attacks, calling editors bigots and liars (to pick just two examples). He is a thoroughly disruptive editor. - Merzbow 21:40, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

And we have a sixth revert:

2007-07-01T10:00:3 - revert to 2007-07-01T08:32:11

The times are different than Tom's, but they are all within the 24-hour period, since according to my time, the last diff above - edit summary "Removed irrelevant material" - was 2007-07-02T07:35:54. - Merzbow 21:52, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Comment from uninvolved editor: 3RR includes all reverts made during a 24 hour period, not just related ones.

To admin: There is clearly a 3RR violation here. 4 by Stone put to sky, (and an identical one 1 by an anonymous IP).

Reverting is when you "revert" hence adding or removing content is not reverting. The edits only show content adding or removing, which is why there is no originating dif followed by the later dif of the revert to version X. --SixOfDiamonds 21:03, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

1. The above are 100% reverts. The diffs provided give comparisons between the Old version and the Revert. And thus appear 'empty'.

Blocking of User:Nleobold

He has today violated the three-revert rule on the page regarding Jerrold Nadler and Deborah Glick. He has repeated written commentary unbefitting of an encyclopedia: he has stuffed these articles with his personal commentary (POV) on these persons. This commentary is possibly libelous. E.g., he is charging Nadler with being a socialist. I and JamesNLane have had dialogue with him regarding our edits on the pages in question. Furthermore, he does not sign with the four tildes.

He has persisted in an unprofessional manner. I formally request a block upon him. Dogru144 18:16, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

• I'll go sit in a corner for not being more clear. The referral to WP:3RR was given after this report, when I read his userpage and realized he might not know what reverting really meant. Peace.Lsi john 23:26, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

You didn't confuse me. I was already examining his case when you were posting here. He was warned by two other users today. Both warnings were before his fourth reverts. One was at 15:18; the other was at 18:22. Both warnings provided links to the three revert rule page. It was up to him to go to that page and familiarise himself with it; instead, he chose to accuse others of vandalism. ElinorD (talk) 23:42, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Comment: The block was uncalled for. A warning template should have first been issued that explained the violation and possibility of a block for future violations. You don't need to be blocking inexperienced users for 3RR when the person giving the first warning took part in the incident in question and didn't use a more informative template to issue the warning. This is another example of admins blocking inappropriately. The sequence should go: 1. Explain, 2. Warn with a template (so he sees its not just another user griping), 3. If the first warning didn't include threat of blocking then warn more harshly (otherwise proceed to 4), 4. block. Talmage 00:18, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

This fellow is a repeat offender, and has often, as now, gone willingly over the WP:3RR line to get his "point" across. His first and only edit since eight months was to re-introduce (revert to) ad letteram a "pet phrase" of his removed one year ago. I am so exasperated with this "contributor" that I am willing to undergo a temporary ban as well - I unwittingly crossed just short of the 24h line (here) when I tried to rewrite the contested phrase into a correct and comprehensible phrase, with context, but this, I understand, can be seen as a revert. Anyhow, such intentional bullying abuse should be reported, and I won't hide behind my own fault to report it. Cheers. THEPROMENADER 19:00, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

ThePromenader, who had his account blocked several times for violating the 3RR (), is now trying to frame me for 3RR here, part of his personal crusade to delete a reference to the "Paris metropolitan area" in the Île-de-France article. The third revert claimed by ThePromenader is in fact not a revert as a quick check can show, since I moved his edit to a dedicated Geography section and did not delete it.

Since ThePromenader is using dirty tricks to portray me as the evil guy in this, let me inform the admins that the same ThePromenader made a fourth revert yesterday only two minutes after the end of the 24 hours time period (1st revert: ; 2nd revert: ;, 3rd revert: ; 4th revert just 2 minutes after the end of the 24 hours period: ). Today he also broke the 3RR with a partial revert than can arguably count as a fourth revert within 24 hours (1st revert: ; 2nd revert: ; 3rd revert: ; 4th revert (partial revert): ). Note that last time he broke the 3RR he had his block lifted by promising never again to violate the 3RR (). Shouldn't he be made acountable for his promises?

Also please note that ThePromenader is not just reverting me, he has also reverted User:Metropolitan: . He was told by both User:Metropolitan and User:Stevage that his reverts were unjustified (, ), but he keeps reverting nonetheless, which is why I'm talking of a personal crusade. And now he tries to frame me for 3RR on top of it. Please ask users Metropolitan and Stevage for more information about this.Hardouin 19:17, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Did you post-edit? By all means, please have a good look at my contribution history, and especially around the time of those three-revert rule breakings to get the real story. "Dirty tricks"? Where, what - reporting you? Your "third not revert" was indeed a revert - you replaced your phrase exactly as it was before. There's a lot of adjectives in the above post, but I'm not convinced that I'm deserving of most of them. For more on the "Paris metropolitan area" 'crusade', you'll have to read the concerned talk page to see whose invention it is, and why it should not be used, and perhaps then understand why its inventor is stooping to revert-warring to protect it - as no reasonable or referenced defense is possible, as the term is unused in any English-language documentation of any French institution to describe the (or as a translation for) aire urbaine. "Paris metropolitan area" as a reference (not an effort at international comparison) can be found only in Wiki and sites that scrape it, and for the reason why, go figure. Enough cruft for one night. THEPROMENADER 22:46, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

"Frame?" Please give me a break - you intentionally broke the WP:3RR rule, and that's it! I won't even try to argue about who's "right" here, as it won't change a thing - and you are making other contributors "straw witnesses" to your own case by putting words in their mouths - they responded to your complaint about me and hardly looked at the edits! Gaming the system by hoping that because of my revert I wouldn't report your rather calculated abuse doesn't help either. Anyhow. As for the fact of it all, we've discussed this all one year before, and you conceded - but, thanks to your first "eight-month delay" revert to your own ad litteram text, here we go again. THEPROMENADER 19:31, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Odd, I see 3RR violations for both of you. This is like one playground kid telling on another playground kid when they were both getting in trouble. The Evil Spartan 19:35, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Yep, agreed. Sorry for deleting your comment (don't know how I did that). My breaking the rules wasn't intentional, but I'm willing all the same to take the consequences if someone who did act intentionally gets his due - repeated intentional abuse shouldn't go unpunished because I myself want to avoid punishment. Cheers. THEPROMENADER 20:11, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

The third revert he's claiming is not a revert, since I did not delete his edit but moved it to the geography section. All he's trying to do here is to have me banned to get his point across. That has been his attitude on Misplaced Pages for as long as I've known him: bullying other contributors and wearing them off till they quit. I am not the only person who finds his attitude disgraceful. Users Metropolitan and Stevage are also sick and tired of his attitude. I can only encourage you to contact Metropolitan and Stevage to get the whole story behind this. Hardouin 19:35, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Nice try. You reinstated ad litteram your original text to its original place at the same time as you moved my contribution - in modifying the same as an added measure of provocation - to its own section: the first part is an obvious revert to your former version. The "bullying" you describe was an accumulated reaction to your behaviour only directed at you or your sock puppets - I suppose these are the "others" you speak of. I'm sure others do get tired of all the noise that resistance to your "my last word" tactics cause - and remember that I only started reporting you here in late 2006. What will "get you banned" here is not other contributors, but your own behaviour. Please don't try to take people here for manipulable fools. THEPROMENADER 19:41, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Eight months of absence haven't changed User:Hardouin's behaviour on Misplaced Pages as shown by this opened case. This case as opened by User:ThePromenader along with page edit history is unambiguous. Although I support User:ThePromenader's case following undisputable dossier. Two edits were enough to resume using edit summaries as a place for attacks . I suggest both users reserve bigateries and personnal judgements for outside Misplaced Pages Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 23:45, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
