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.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:

Comments: User has ignored comments by both myself and editor Daniel J Leivick that "former white collar criminal" is poor grammar. This appears to be part of a campaign to downplay Belfort's criminal history, given a number of hagiographic edits. User Copycat2012, and their previous ID Reaction93, have made no edits to any other pages and will not sign their posts.Splorksplorksplorksplork (talk) 01:11, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

• Note. This is a content dispute that's more about how to describe the subject than it is about grammar. There was no breach of 3RR. The edit-warring is stale (4 days ago). I would simply close the report except for the fact that Copycat is a new account created by the same person who created Reaction93. Although Copycat admits they are the same, they have not complied with WP:DG, and they were blocked in the past as Reaction93 related to this article. At this point, I'd like to hear from Copycat before making any final decision. That said, any other admin is free to do whatever they want without waiting for me or consulting with me.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:52, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

It's only stale because I have been trying to engage Copycat2012 in constructive dialogue rather than simply reverting again. However they seem unwilling to discuss the issue in rational terms. Splorksplorksplorksplork (talk) 23:49, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Note. I have indefinitely blocked Copycat2012 for making a legal threat. Copycat also reverted on the article. Rather than revert back, I (reluctantly) edited the article to eliminate the "former" characterization as an issue. Hopefully my edit will put that issue to rest. That said, I don't intend to get involved in a dispute about it. If it's not satisfactory to other editors, they can work it out themselves.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:05, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

HIs response is to basically insult me, claim superiority and general indicated that all he will do is edit war. Then makes another edit that he knows is patronising. Spshu (talk) 00:06, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

As noted on the talk page, your bid to add a country infobox, including details of its "government", to a page about a portfolio of royal estates scattered across the UK is bizarre and totally incorrect. Once I reverted your addition you should have discussed it on the talk page if you were really convinced you had a point. Although you have now posted there a couple of times, you have offered absolutely zero evidence to support your contention that the duchy is a country or territorial unit of the UK (here's a clue: you won't find any) or even that you know what you are talking about when it comes to UK administrative or political affairs. Yes, I have questioned your knowledge in that area, with legitimate reason, and am doing it again now; you have now elected to explicitly call me a "maniac", so I suggest you descend from your high horse. While we both might be edit-warring, it's rather obvious I would guess to most observers who is trying to maintain the accuracy and integrity of info on Misplaced Pages here. N-HH talk/edits 09:56, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, but you prove my point in "so I suggest you descend from your high horse." No it is not clear who is "trying to maintain the accuracy and intergrity of info on Misplaced Pages here." No, it is you on the high horse with your condesending position. Just because I try not proliferate additional infoboxes by not creating new ones for one offs and use existing infoboxes does not mean that effects the "accuracy and integerity of info on Misplaced Pages here." The infoboxes are total background stuff that no reader need deal with. Spshu (talk) 22:17, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

• Page protected. One of the reverts listed above is your revert; there is no 3RR violation here. Since you both are flipping back and forth, I've protected the page for a few days to allow the conversation on the article's talk page to progress. Please do not perform further reverts until the discussion comes to a consensus. Kuru (talk) 00:14, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Still he did three reverts thus violated 3RR. And indicated that is an edit warring mode. Spshu (talk) 22:17, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Now comming to the point; the article is not Misplaced Pages:OR every statement is backed by a reliable sources. It may be checked though whether the text pertains to the article or not and the diffs be verified that who started reverting the edits and what has been provided in the edit summaries and the talk page also.

User:Yworo reported by User:Doncsecz (Result: Declined)

User:Yworo in sequence unalterable the article László Kovács (writer) with false informatioan that Kovács is Hungarian writer, but do not write anything in Hungarian only in Slovene (Prekmurian). Only his citizenship is Hungarian, himself declare a Slovene. Imre Kertész also lived in Germany, but Hungarian writer, in Hungarian wrote his works. Doncsecz 18:28, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

See WP:OPENPARA. Biographical subjects are described using the country of which they are a citizen, not by their ethnicity. If the are a writer who writes in a specific language, then we also describe that. Yworo (talk) 18:42, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Yworo is correct. Doncecz, if you continue to edit against en:Misplaced Pages policy, you will be blocked. OhNoitsJamie 18:45, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

I asked László Kovács, namely was my teacher: László Kovács calls for the use of Slovene and not Hungarian, since he is Slovene writer, author of the Slovene literature and not the Hungarian. The Hungarian laws recognized 13 minoritys in Hungarian with fundamental rights, therefore despite the citizenship its definition is not Hungarian. Doncsecz 18:48, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

And this is English Misplaced Pages, and it is our policy to make clear the citizenship of the subject first thing in the lead sentence. If he doesn't like to be Hungarian, why is he still a Hungarian citizen? Yworo (talk) 18:57, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

But the English wikipedia obviously respects fundamental rights: the Slovene intellectuals of Hungary wish the Slovene denomination. Doncsecz 19:04, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

• Declined. This is a malformed report. Putting that aside, it's a content dispute subject to guidelines, not policy. There's been no breach of 3RR, although Yworo has come close. This should be worked out on the article talk page, and Doncsecz, you need to be more civil in your comments. Finally, for such a short article, it is remarkably poorly written.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:09, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Has been blocked before, just last month, for a 1RR violation on this very article:

• Note. @Itch, your report has merit, but I find your history curious. You have made 7 edits to Misplaced Pages as this account, 5 of which were on March 30, 2012 (the account was created one day earlier) to P-I articles (not this one), and the last 2 today, one here, and one notifying Sepsis of this discussion. Who are you?--Bbb23 (talk) 20:01, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
• Suggestion Since this is a ARBPIA issue and arrising from the ARBPIA remedies, might it be a good idea to refer this discussion to WP:AE Hasteur (talk) 20:40, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
• Blocked – for a period of forty-eight hours; this is the user's second 1RR block on this article. Referring this to WP:AE is a bit unnecessary given this is a very straightforward violation of the 1RR on the article. While the reporting user is suspect, the reverts were not to his/her edits, so that's irrelevant to Sepsis II's action. -- tariqabjotu 21:08, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

This is an issue that was solved by me and user Scjessey in October but recently Thargor Orlando has begun edit warring against that consensus. CartoonDiablo (talk) 19:47, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Pretty hard to say something is resolved when numerous attempts to discuss were outright ignored, but such is the way of these things. There's no issue here if CartoonDiablo actually decides to engage on the talk page or discussions, which he has chosen not to do for nearly two months. Thargor Orlando (talk) 20:07, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

You're the only editor engaged precisely because you're the only one that finds fault with it. The issue isn't a dispute, it's you editing warring against the consensus. CartoonDiablo (talk) 20:13, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

And that consensus is where? Thargor Orlando (talk) 20:14, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

In the discussion for single-payer between me, you and Scjessey. CartoonDiablo (talk) 20:15, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

What consensus is that? Do I get to include North8000 in my camp? Does the inaccurate viewpoint of one of the polls being a "push poll" assist either side in our viewpoints? Why didn't you bother making this argument at any point in time between the NPOV noticeboard and the talk pages in the last two months? Who's doing the "edit warring" without discussion, exactly? Thargor Orlando (talk) 20:19, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

North8000 was not in the single-payer discussion and virtually no one participated in the NPOV noticeboard because it seemed self-evident the only person that had a problem with it was you. The point is, this board is about user behavior not content disputes (of which we went through ad nausem). You've had your say and now we're discussing your edit warring. CartoonDiablo (talk) 20:26, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Since this discussion is across multiple articles, I'd argue he is. That you chose - willingly - not to involve yourself in the discussions should tell us something. Do we want to talk about conduct? How about your blanket reverts without discussion? The entire issue is the content dispute that you refuse to resolve, so... Thargor Orlando (talk) 20:54, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Except that I was (marginally) involved and about as involved as everyone else? Are we then to assume everyone was in a conspiracy to "willingly" sabotage the discussion? --CartoonDiablo (talk) 21:35, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

• Note. @CartoonDiablo, you mentioned in your edit summary a discussion at ANI; can you please provide a link?--Bbb23 (talk) 20:23, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Woops my bad I meant AN3 which is the discussion here. CartoonDiablo (talk) 20:27, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Thargor and CartoonDiablo have also appeared on opposite sides of discussions at DRN and NPOVN recently:

• Misplaced Pages:Dispute resolution noticeboard/Archive 51#Single-payer/healthcare polls (ended October 18)
• Misplaced Pages:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard/Archive 36#Health care articles (ended December 1)

Perhaps CartoonDiablo can explain his comment above: "solved by me and user Scjessey in October but recently Thargor Orlando has begun edit warring.." The most obvious interpretation is that both the DRN and the NPOVN were inconclusive. The second discussion certainly indicates that consensus was not reached in the first one. Where is the venue where consensus with Scjessey was said to have been reached? Is it too much to expect an actual WP:Request for comment on the article talk page? -EdJohnston (talk) 21:13, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

There's an issue with typical dispute resolution processes w/CD because he seems to fundamentally misunderstand how they work. There was a separate dispute with him (also still unresolved, but I had to detach for a time and I haven't had an opportunity to revisit with this new, more important issue) where he assumed that a DRN suggestion was binding. Disputes for CD appear to be a means to an end - a war of attrition rushed to dispute resolution in an attempt to get sanctions on those who disagree with him, making consensus building incredibly difficult. This should have been resolved six months ago. Thargor Orlando (talk) 21:20, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

The dispute was over whether the polls are measuring for single-payer. Me and Scjessey came to the consensus that it did and Thargor tried to take it to NPOV noticeboard where almost no one participated because it was obvious he was the only person that had a problem with it. Earlier in the discussion he accused me of "willingly" not participating which I suppose applies to everyone else as well (except for Thargor)?

At this point we have:

• Reverting consensus
• Accusing everyone else of "willingly" trying to sabotage attempts at resolution. CartoonDiablo (talk) 21:35, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

• I agree with Ed. I see no consensus. I also see no breach of 3RR, and to the extent there is edit-warring, it is equally distributed.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:53, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Thelmadatter seems to think she owns the Santa Muerte article and as such has deleted several of my contributions without any rhyme or reason. Moreover she is asserting that as a published author on the topic I shouldn't cite my own book, and is also demanding that I send pages of my book to her as "proof" of the veracity of my contributions.

This has now become an edit war based on the insertion of a tangential free image with a POV caption, and given the user's previous inability to comprehend common sense I'm not wading into a pointless discussion again.
