    Welcome to the edit warring noticeboard Shortcuts Update this page

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

    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.
    Definition of edit warring
    Edit warring is a behavior, typically exemplified by the use of repeated edits to "win" a content dispute. It is different from a bold, revert, discuss (BRD) cycle. Reverting vandalism and banned users is not edit warring; at the same time, content disputes, even egregious point of view edits and other good-faith changes do not constitute vandalism. Administrators often must make a judgment call to identify edit warring when cooling disputes. Administrators currently use several measures to determine if a user is edit warring.
    Definition of the three-revert rule (3RR)
    An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Violations of this rule normally attract blocks of at least 24 hours. Any appearance of gaming the system by reverting a fourth time just outside the 24-hour slot is likely to be treated as a 3RR violation. See here for exemptions.

    Sections older than 48 hours are archived by Lowercase sigmabot III.

    Twinkle's ARV can be used on the user's page to more easily report their behavior, including automatic handling of diffs.

    User:Gscshoyru reported by User:AstroVetro (Result: No Violation)

    User talk:Mr.Z-man (edit | ] | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Gscshoyru (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). Time reported: 19:03, 27 October 2007 (UTC) This user has moved four requests for help on an another users page within a 24 hour period (actually within a 20 minute period). The majority of the users edits are reverts (he abuses WP:TW and was once blocked for being considered a vandalism only account). User was warned but persisted and continues to revert many articles over Misplaced Pages in general.

    • Mr Z-man is an admin and quite capable of dealing with disruption on their own user page. The reverted edits appear to be from a sockpuppet of a blocked user editing in contravention of their block. That's allowed under the 3RR and no violation has therefore taken place.

    Addendum: As the current edit war is spreading, may I recommend reverting to the last accepted version (as indicated here) and protecting the page once again? It worked well last time - no edit war for almost a month. MalikCarr 22:56, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

    User:Good friend100 reported by User:Komdori (Result: 5 day block, sent to ANI)

    • 1RR parole violation on

    Goguryeo (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Good friend100 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log): Time reported: 23:45, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

    • Diff of 3RR warning: Currently unblocked from his indef block, on 1RR parole per agreement to conditions so he could participate in an open arbitration case (which is now closed). Fresh off a weeklong block for violating the 1RR before. I don't know exactly what he and the anon are revert warring about, but it's troubling that after so many warnings he continues to keep hitting "undo" with no discussion.
    • That's precisely;y why its so important to leave a comment when you have dealt with a report. When I checked the user's talk you hadn't left a note there either. Have you now done this? I didn't see 2 reverts. Have I made a mistake or are they different? If a block is appropriate please make it an indef one. Spartaz 09:43, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
    • Yes, I've already apologised for not leaving a comment - we all do it once in a while, thanks very much. Incidentally, I had left a comment: see here; the reason I did not make the block indefinite is that the 1RR is no longer in place (although it was at the time of the offence), in that the RfArb has been closed. Anthøny 10:51, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
    I should have given more detail perhaps. I think there are two different reverts here (on the same article), but that it still broke the 1RR (per the line on the 3RR page that says, "An editor must not perform more than three reverts, in whole or in part, on a single page within a 24-hour period. A revert means undoing the actions of another editor, whether involving the same or different material each time." It might be "different material," but he was reverting another user's edit, and didn't even try to find a middle ground, not even leaving a comment as to why it was evidently unacceptable to him. As for the arbitration, that ended days ago. It was my impression that the 1RR would last beyond the end of that--since it was a courtesy to edit during the arbitration, I suppose someone could just reinstate the block when it was done, but that seems a bit harsh if the editor was editing according to norms. Unfortunately, as this is the second incident (the previous one where he was blocked last week was much worse), this doesn't seem to be the case. --Cheers, Komdori 13:03, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
    I think the question boils down to, should we allow the user to re-edit, or should be fully re-instate the indef. block, which was only lifted for a now-complete RfArb? Personally, I think the latter is in order - I don't see any constructive contributions to date, and even if the single reverts were permitted, they don't exactly convey a perfect attitude, do they? However, I think we should bring Spartaz back in on this one... Anthøny 13:27, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
    I think we need wider consensus on this. The 1RR was still extant in my mind and had I considered that Good friend had breached it, I would have indef myself. However, there seems to have been some doubt about whether the 1RR still applied and all in all, I think that we should run this past ANI. I also agree that this user seems incapable of learning to comply with our editing standards. Spartaz 16:45, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

    This user engages in edit wars, sets block traps while misusing WP regulations, is ignorant in the article subject matter (my article has been featured on WP main page) and has a history of edit wars with many editors. He keeps pushing his POV on "sinusoids" being the keyword for the article I wrote, but he can not back it up with scientific references on the article method. On the other hand, I stated two references on the method that use more general "trigonometric functions" instead of sinusoids, but he keeps replacing them with references related to a completely different method (Fourier analysis). Note his 3RR violations also happened with other parts of the article but I am just filing one report. Please see my Talk for the complete list of all of his violations (bolded items at the bottom, separate section). Geoeg 19:57, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

    • 24 Hours. Spartaz 20:44, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
    • 48 hours for Geoeg. 24 for his part in the edit war and another 24 for the personal attack and abuse directed at Dicklyon on his (geoeg's) user page. Both of you are prolific contributors. Please make this your last blocks by seeking mediation or an rfc t sort out your differences. Spartaz 20:53, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
    • These names are coming up with increasing frequency - either or both of you are liable to get a significant block if you come up here again. Stifle (talk) 22:27, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

    • Diff of 3RR warning:

    There has been an ongoing discussion on this page between a group of users. 3 editors were contending that a book that has long since been used for this particular list. Davkal kept re-adding irrelevant commentary about one topic after it was established on the talk page that the commentary wasn't relevant in regards to the list. After his 2nd revert, he was warned by OrangeMarlin that he was approaching the 3RR limit. He deleted the warning and then accused me of being a sockpuppet of ScienceApologist on OrangeMarlin's user page . He then began to insert a disputed tag onto the article, which I reverted twice. With regards to the 5th edit, a user who had only once visited the page came in and undid my revision, possibly to try to save Davkal from an obvious 3RR. Davkal has an extensive history of 3RR and has also been quite uncivil during the entire talk page discussion. Baegis 21:42, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

    Page protected for two weeks – the diffs aren't technically a 3RR violation, but it's clear the article is a free-for-all right now. KrakatoaKatie 11:48, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

    This user originally created an article at both Brooke Gilbertsen and Brooke Gilbertson, both of which I tagged for speedy deletion as they did not establish notability and have already been deleted several times for that reason. WP:PW has already decided that being in the Search alone is not enough to establish notability. After removing the tag from one, despite being the original author, I left a message on their talk page explaining about the hang on tag. In response, they added all the information about Gilbertson to WWE Diva Search, even though the article is about the Search itself, and not about the contestants (none of the other contestants have short bios). I left the warning about 3RR after the third revert, and they reverted twice after that. Nikki311 00:29, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

    DreamStar05 blocked for 31 hours. KrakatoaKatie 12:00, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

    User:DemolitionMan reported by User:Josquius (Result:1 week)

    Indian Rebellion of 1857 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). DemolitionMan (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log): Time reported: 14:11, 29 October 2007 (UTC)



    DemolitionMan is determined to push a Hindu nationalist POV on this article against all attempts to establish NPOV- which he insists is a British POV. The aim of his constant reverts is the infobox where he insisted on calling the Indian rebels freedom fighters and calling the war the Indian war of independance. After exact rules detailing freedom fighter being unacceptable language were shown to him he decided he was compromising by saying patriot instead despite the meaning being very similar and even more inaccurate to the subject matter.
    Dispute resolution has been tried- but when the mediator leaned my way he decided to ignore it.
    This isn't the first time he's broke the 3RR recently, just the first I've reported it, earlier incidents can be spotted easily over the past week. Additionally he was kicked for using a sock to break the rule earlier in the month and is consistanly rude to those who disagree with him. Josquius 14:11, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

    I see no evidence that the user was previously warned for 3RR, or that they have continued to revert after the warning was given. I'll certainly block if I see continued reversion. --John 17:32, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

    Please note that Speedy has also violated the 3 revert rule,and refuses to compromise and is repeatedly inserting wrong information. All the Wrestling Websites out there (as well as her official website have confirmed Kristal Marshall's release and Speedy is refusing to acknowledge this. While I admit to violating the 3RR and regret doing so, I would like the reviewing admin to please take note of these facts. I also don't appreciate Speedy calling my good faith edits vandalism. Thank you. Bmg916 18:16, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

    User:156.34.221.137 reported by User:E tac (Result:24 hours and see E tac below)

    User is stepping out of bounds, claiming something is a concensus, which it clearly is not as I have cjecked the template talk page and tried directing the user to it and he is not responding. E tac 23:15, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

    Comment Edits are to maintain the formatting as it is clearly shown in the Mariah Carey example which appears on the Template:Infobox musical artist page. A clea edit summary pointing to this has been given with each edit. E tac (talk · contribs), however has not provided any valid reason for reversion... other than to simply revert for his own pleasure. Mr. E Tac has violated 3RR on numerous article in the past hour. 156.34.221.137 23:22, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
    No I never went over 3 reverts, so you are wrong there. Also I pointed you to the talk page on the template, there is very little disscusion on the topic and NONE OF IT supports what you are claiming to be the concensus. I am not doing it for my editing pleasue but because it makes the infobox much neater and easier to read. Perhaps it is you doing it for pleasure as your claim that it is a growing concensus is ridiculous. Growing amongst who? you? Where is your proof that this in concensus, the template talk page shows quite the contrary.--E tac 23:26, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
    Also I find it funny you posting a warning on my talk page saying I have violated policy and need to use the talk page. I never went over 3 reverts and I added a comment on the topic to what little was on the talk page for the template you keep citing, where is your disscusion by the way since you seem to feel that you need to warn me? You made more reverts then me, not to mention you already were reported for this same thing earlier today.--E tac 23:36, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
      • I'm not the one claiming it is "concensus" and changing it on every article I can despite the fact that it looks like garbage so don't tell me to knock it off because I'm not the one instigating it and trying to pass it off as policy.--E tac 21:26, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
        • You didn't knock it off. Bad move, that's 24 hours for both E tac and 156.34.221.137. I am confident that all the 156.34s that edit heavy metal groups are the same user or group of users and the revert limit should apply to them all. Sam Blacketer 22:52, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

    User posted some information about the band's charity work, along with this comment: One Middleburg man who went to Middleburg High School with Ronnie Winter, Michael Flamino, is trying to gain publicity by starting a "F**k Ronnie" slogan with his fledgling band, despite the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus' good works in fundraising for above said causes. I reverted wholesale. User restored, and I did a partial revert, keeping the bit about the charity work but removing the axegrinding. Two more reverts and here we are.

    User:Naiseroder reported by User:Atari400 (Result:Warned)

    Arabization (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Naiseroder (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log): Time reported: 08:10, 30 October 2007 (UTC)


    User Naiseroder continues to revert to an earlier version of this article without discussion. This earlier version of that article contains an image uploaded and inserted into the article by User Naiseroder. That image itself is very unencyclopedic in nature and a POV violation in content. In the process of trying to maintain the image's place within the article, User Naiseroder violated 3rr by committing 4 reverts in a 24 hour period. Atari400 08:10, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

    • Naiseroder is a very new user, appears to be editing in good faith and was not warned or informed about the three revert rule. I will give a warning; can you please try to communicate to users and engage them in discussion rather than reporting here as your first stop? Sam Blacketer 10:02, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
    I understand your rationale, even though I do question how new this user is. After all, how many new users commit there very first edit with an image creation and upload? Atari400 20:48, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

    Users Travb and 129.71.73.248 have engaged in a slow, but constant revert war at Guenter Lewy over a rather trivial matter of choice of section titles. Apparently, these two users of a history of edit conflicts, and at this point, the reversions are simple one-upsmanship rather than representing any actual content disagreement at all.

    The last two dozen edits have consisted primarily of this trivial dispute. I asked the parties to discuss the matter on the article talk page, and they both carried it over to my user talk page (for no obvious reason). Both parties are engaging in this reversion just slowly enough to escape the letter of 3RR (i.e. ending at exactly 3 reversions each day), but doing the same thing every day in obvious violation of the spirit of the rule. LotLE×talk 00:07, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

    Blech on a stick. Well, I can only admire your diligence in making such a long report. I've blocked both for 24 hours for clear edit warring. 3RR is not an entitlement to three reverts per day. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 07:06, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

    I agree with User:Warren's POV on these edits, regarding critiques of the OS X Leopard operating system in the press. I made a good faith effort to rewrite the section to reflect Warren's view of the critiques, which I share, and which is probably the majority view. Warren has decided that any critique that involves a "third party" or a "forum post" of any sort cannot remain in the article. These are drastic edits, and are rejecting solid work by other editors in favor of no alternative content. --- tqbf 01:05, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

    These are not reverts of the same thing. Besides, Warren is reverting unsourced, unverified, and often unreliable sources. In any case, different reverts of different POV edits. This is a ridiculous ANI. OrangeMarlin 01:10, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
    It doesn't matter if they are reverts of the same thing, 3RR specifically states "whether involving the same or different material each time." As far as reverting unsourced, etc., that exception to 3RR only applies to BLP. I can see where he's coming from, and agree with some of what he is doing, but he is clearly violating 3RR; he also just did a 5th revert over 3 posts . V-train 01:20, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
    That's not my read of WP:3RR, which states "whether involving the same or different material each time", and makes an exception for "unsourced" material only for WP:BLP, not for POV disputes on inanimate objects. But if I'm wrong, I'll have learned something from this, so thanks! --- tqbf 01:18, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
    Apparently in my 10,000 or so edits I somehow forgot to read these things. Damn. I guess I'm a noob. Sorry, but Warren is an outstanding editor. His reverts are of various, unsourced POV edits. That's allowed. Give me a break lecturing me ever again about what is said in Misplaced Pages. OrangeMarlin 01:22, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
    Both myself and V-train have said repeatedly that we agree with the substance of Warren's problem. Please don't refer to me as a "POV-warrior". WP:AGF. Reverts weren't the right way to accomplish Warren's objective; he's essentially reverting NEWS.COM out an article on an OS. --- tqbf 01:25, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
    Damn, once again you're trying to teaching me Wiki-lawyering. Cool, because apparently in 10,000 edits, a few GA's and FA', tons of vandal fighting, I somehow forgot how to read.

    If, after I spent 45 minutes dredging up cites from 9 major trade press venues, my edits are not reverted by this user, I'll agree, noting that I perceive that the 3RR noticeboard posting helped end the edit war. --- tqbf 02:50, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

    A user of 2 years experience and many edits so he clearly knows about 3rr, SqueakBox 05:05, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

    (ec) My record speaks for itself. I do not use the revert function lightly or indiscriminately. This was not editing the article, this was replacing the article with a redirect. SqueakBox attempted to delete this article at ], then challenged the result at DRV, where he did not prevail. Undeterred, he did some more forum shopping, held an artificially short discussion, and deleted the article, replacing it with a redirect as he originally wanted to.
    My normal procedure is to use the one-revert rule, but, in this case, an experienced editor was deleting content that the community had determined (a few days before) there was no consensus to delete. I placed a notice at the administrators' noticeboard and reverted to preserve content where there was no consensus to delete demonstrated. He's tried to delete the article , or replace it with a redirect , , , multiple times. In this situation, SqueakBox deleted the article as shown above, then reverted my restoration once & twice, then Thebainer came in for the third deletion. The page finally required protection. If there's no consensus to delete the page, and that lack of consensus is confirmed by a deletion review, then gaming the system by blanking the page and putting up a redirect is no more supported by consensus than deletion was. --Ssbohio 06:20, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

    You are correct, Salamander Sam does not claim notability as such, and I struck that part of my report. However, per WP:CSD: Any user who is not the creator of a page may remove a speedy tag from it. The creator may not do this; a creator who disagrees with the speedy deletion should instead add "hangon" to the page, and explain the rationale on the page's discussion page. An article where the CSD tag is removed may still be nominated for deletion via AFD. The procedural violations here are the repeated reversion of the disputed CSD tag.

Several users have complained about him and his lack of professionalism as a supposed senior member. He continues to edit war, and then takes it to people's talk pages to personally attack, while imposing his pov and unjustifiably threatening sanction because no one agrees with it. Beyond abusive and immature. He has also been warned on his talk page, and there are other misallaneous complaint about his abusive behavior as well.

    Steve Dufour has a history of trying to minimize this article. Lately he has been insisiting that the article be written his way despite previous conversations on the articles talk page already explaining the rationale behind the information he doesn't like. Anynobody 05:47, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

    This concerns negative material with the intention to attack a living person. On the Usenet site alt.religion.scientology there has been a long-going campaign of harassment against Barbara Schwarz, the subject of the article, with the intention of driving her to commit suicide. This is the reason I feel so strongly about this article. I would prefer not to edit it anymore myself; but if no one else will work to keep it an encyclopedia article, not an attack, I will continue until I am kicked off of Misplaced Pages. Steve Dufour 06:36, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

    With all due respect, this is not alt.religion.scientology though and the article didn't say anything that wasn't in a WP:RS. Anynobody 06:41, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

    • If the claimed WP:BLP exemption is disregarded, then there would be a technical three revert rule violation. The application of BLP is difficult and questionable but because Steve Dufour is clearly acting in good faith in believing it is applicable, to block him for disruption would be wrong. Hence I do not propose to take any action about the 3RR report. Further work should be taken to make sure the article complies with BLP policy because this is a controversial biography subject who has antagonised one group of people while being perceived as a crank by others; such a situation means that both groups start off with some reason to include questionable material.

    • user:Piotrus was already blocked for 3RR violation in the past

    For some time user:Piotrus engages in edit war by reverting full or parts of text, while 3RR rule clearly states: An editor must not perform more than three reverts, in whole or in part, on a single page within a 24-hour period. A revert means undoing the actions of another editor, whether involving the same or different material each time. So violation is obvious. M0RD00R 16:48, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

    This particular list of edits doesn't look like a violation to me, except in the most legalistic reading. I left Piotrus a note reminding him about 3RR; that should be sufficient. Mangojuice 17:15, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
    3 times referenced info was removed, 5th revert is removal of the reference that was added upon request. So nothing legalistic but pure edit warring case and a breach of 3RR IMO. M0RD00R 17:20, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
    The 1st revert is not a revert - it is a normal edit; MORDOOR claims it was a revert to this revision which is obviously not true. I have simply removed a dubious claim that as discussion at related talk pages show is not supported by reliable source, a claim that has not been ever challenged since it was added a few weeks ago to the article (which, accidentally, I expanded to the GA-level).
    Reverts 3rd and 4th are one revert - I could have just as well made one edit instead of two and removed both the dubious claim and the tag in a single edit; I did two to provide a better WP:SUMMARY in my edits. To claim that hence I broke the 3RR is obviously wikilawyering.
    I would also point out that MORDOOR has not contributed to this article in the past; his revert warring there at present - which seems to be his only contribution in the past day or so - borders on WP:STALKing my person. Further, MOORDOR revert warring is a violation of WP:V and WP:RS - he is removing a proper attribution to Zhylenko, instead replacing it with some non-English and less reliable website. Such disruptive behavior certainly should warrant a warning.

    Unapologetic stance of Piotrus shows that he did learn the lesson, and in this situation I don't think that mere warning is enough.

    This user Moldopodo should be blocked in the first place. He started the edit wars and now he wanted also to hide this thing. He should be blocked at least for one month..Moldojuice 18:32, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

    User:Navnløs reported by User:216.21.150.44 (Result: No action)

    Comment User has made a claim on both their user page and their talk page that they intend to revert any changes to the Iron Maiden article (along with many others) if anyone changes the coded line breaks in the artist infobox for the standard comma delimiter. See User talk:Navnløs#TO_WHOM_IT_MAY_CONCERN-ABOUT_LINE_BREAKS_VS._COMMA_BREAKS: for the users pre-planned edit war. 216.21.150.44 23:55, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

    The user had not been warned so no action has been taken yet. They have now been warned, so any further violation will result in a block. TigerShark 00:05, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

    Comment Mainly the first sentence "Waterboarding is XXXXXXX". Multiple parties are edit waring in Waterboarding, however I am only reporting one who provoked it by making massive edits to a seriously hot article without participating in talk at all until afterwards. User:89.100.48.103 is the other party blasting 3RR to hell. I feel this is a particularly serious example, as user User:220.255.115.209 did not engage in talk until 01:30, and only when the other demanded he work there. As this was a hot potato article, the talk page asks for comment and discussion before engaging in major activity which he ignored. As this is a IP war, a 24 hour semi-protection on Waterboarding may help in case of other problems and escalations, saving us having to checkusr. 7th revert was after a long over due warning.

    YoSoyGuapo is exaggerating the situation. I have been forced to revert vandalism that he placed there as personal harassment against me.
    This article has been the subject of vandalism by an anonymous user before, and Administrator WKnight94 put up a warning that he would block that user's range if he continued to troll. YoSoyGuapo has been continuing the same type of vandalism, and keeps trying to act as if he's really contributing something.
    The original troll made ethnically insensitive remarks calling French Canadian women prostitutes (a false claim, and simply his opinion); he was just trying to stir trouble. YoSoyGuapo is adding his because he found that I am one of the editors who built and maintain this article. He and I have had a dispute over the article on Josh Gibson (where he falsely accused me of deliberately "downplaying the achievements of minorities" (and untrue and frankly insulting claim).
    The article is "Daughters of the King", about French women of childbearing age who were recruited by the royal French government to emigrate to Canada and help populate the new colony. YoSoyGuapo googled "kings daughters prostitutes" and found an absolutely unrelated article about prostitutes in Namibia (in this century) who refer to themselves by the same sobriquet; their name does not originate from the French Daughters of the King (nor anything else similar). There is no article on this group yet placed in Misplaced Pages, and no need for a disambiguation page. All the same, YoSoyGuapo keeps placing arguments into the discussion page that violate the guidelines for discussion pages, and keeps adding this irrelevant section on Nambia (which he has misspelled more than once).
    As far as his claim that I have "a history of deleting others opinion he isn't fond of", that is not true. I deleted comments that were racist and irrelevant because two particular editors (one anonymous, the other YoSoyGuapo), instead of using the discussion page to discuss facts or sources of the article are just using it to attack ideas and people. He seems to not understand the full purpose of the discussion page.
    I am filing a complaint elsewhere about his vandalism of my own talk page; I cleared it recently to clean up old conversation, and he put his own personal "warning" to me on it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Couillaud (talk • contribs)
    I'm giving Couillaud a warning. If the user in question is not banned, removing their comments is not appropriate. Although you may remove comments from your talk page, it is not the normal practice on article discussion pages. The requests of YoSoyGuapo are baseless and easily dismissed by Misplaced Pages policy, there is no need to actually remove them, though. Mangojuice 14:14, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
