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.

Comments:
Seems Kwamikagami waited out the 24 hour period before making his 4th revert. I found a more detailed and better looking map used in German Misplaced Pages so I translated it and replaced the existing map (which BTW was originally created by myself as User:Martintg back in 2007). Kwamikagami reverted the new map because it included Yukaghir. Okay, so I removed Yukaghir from the map to accommodate his objection, but then Kwamikagami still reverted because it excluded Yukaghir, claiming it was a "falsification", expressing his battleground mentality "I had to fight with you to even get that , because you were falsifying the map" and then subsequently edit warred over the image at commons to re-include Yukaghir even though he objected to its inclusion, which seems somewhat WP:POINTy and may be related to a wider issue that other editors have noticed about Kwamikagami's recent behaviour here and here --Nug (talk) 12:17, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

• Reverting the map at Commons wasn't WP:POINTy; if the map isn't a faithful reproduction of the original it may count as WP:SYNTH. — Lfdder (talk) 12:43, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Sure, if the map was a reproduction of a published source. But this map was created by a German Wikipedian, we don't know for sure how faithful that map is to the original source used by this German Wikipedian, and as we can see this editor made many different permutations of that map, for example another including Altaic and Turkic in addition to Uralic , so omitting Yukaghir from a map meant to focus on Uralic is legitimate. But objecting to the inclusion of Yukaghir while simultaneously objecting to the exclusion of Yukaghir from a map that was not a reproduction but created by a Wikipedian, is certainly untoward. --Nug (talk) 13:06, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

ah ok, I didn't notice. — Lfdder (talk) 16:52, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Nug is pushing a POV for which he can't get consensus , in this case pushing a map of the wrong language family . Per BOLD, he should take his suggestions to talk rather than edit warring over them.

BTW, the map in question cites its authors , so Nug changing it to better support his POV is fraud – assuming he knows what he's doing . — kwami (talk) 07:27, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Nug has violated the principle of WP:BRD. Rather than being bold, being reverted, then proceeding to the Talk Page to build a consensus for his/her preferred map, s/he simply proceeded to edit war over the map, continually replacing his/her map rather than building a consensus on the Talk Page before touching the actual article again. Rather than trying to ram his/her new map through, s/he should have been presenting the proposed map on the Talk Page, discussing it, then abandoning it if a consensus could not be reached. The real edit warrior in this case is Nug, who was unable to build a consensus for his/her new map, not Kwami, who was simply insisting that Nug follow the principle of WP:BRD. --Taivo (talk) 09:49, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

• I'm seeing edit warring here from both parties. Nug may not have technically violated 3RR, but that's no excuse, and I see no grounds for a block of one party here. So should I block both or none? Heimstern Läufer (talk) 10:44, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
  • Map being discussed, warring hasn't continued, I see no point in blocking either. — Lfdder (talk) 10:59, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
• Declined because of what Lfdder says; it's a downright bad idea to block people who are discussing and who aren't editwarring anymore. Nyttend (talk) 13:53, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
  • Indeed, my question was more of a rhetorical "is there going to be more edit warring necessitating blocks?" Heimstern Läufer (talk) 13:59, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Repeatedly making changes that lack support on the talk page. As seen both on the talk page of the article and by the fact that the user's reverts within the past 24h have been reverted by five different users. Thomas.W 20:18, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

• The user has now made SIX reverts within 24h. I can add that I made my revert well before the case was filed at the dispute resolution board, while Z07x10's two latest reverts were made after he filed the case. Thomas.W 20:52, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
  

This is a gross misrepresentation of facts and if you'd bothered to read through the Talk Page, you'd realise that the changes were agreed with Bushranger and Julian H before McSly edit-warred the issue a month later and then again another month later. Bushranger is just sick of dealing with it now so refuses to get involved. Up to the point where admins became involved I made 1 change for every change he made to reflect the standing consensus. I don't feel I should be singled out just because of a 24hr timing issue. I have raised the matter in Dispute resolution and on Policy. Furthermore my stance on the issue (maximum speed Mach 2.35) is in line with an independent consensus by German Wiki ('3O'), so it'll look a little stupid if two parts of Wiki list contradictory information. https://de.wikipedia.org/Eurofighter_Typhoon I therefore move that the page should, by right, be protected at Mach 2.35 until resolved. Cheers.Z07x10 (talk) 20:43, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

A) It's not a gross misrepresentation. I can't find a consensus supporting your views on the talk page, and your five reverts have been reverted by five different editors. Which ought to tell you something.

B) It doesn't matter what it says on the German WP or what consensus they reach, each WP is independent of all others.

C) You made four reverts before filing a case at the dispute resolution board, and then a fifth revert after that in an attempt to have your version "frozen". Which is not the way to do things. And filing a case at the dispute resolution board does not absolve you from the edit warring charges.

Thomas.W 21:53, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

I agree with Thomas.W Mztourist (talk) 05:03, 23 September 2013 (UTC) (Restored a comment by Mztourist that was deleted by Z07x10. Thomas.W 09:29, 23 September 2013 (UTC))

Allow me to assist you in finding where the consensus against McSly was reached since you couldn't be bothered looking yourself.

https://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Eurofighter_Typhoon

"Except that isn't what I did. The speed and altitude are both listed on this one primary source: http://www.bmlv.gv.at/waffen/waf_eurofighter.shtml. I only used this second primary source to verify the mph speed: http://www.baesystems.com/article/BAES_159814/typhoon and support the first primary source. The supposition of altitude only applies to the second of the 2 primary sources. The calculation is based purely on the speed and altitude in the first primary source.Z07x10 (talk) 19:42, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Then, now that that's all sorted, it should be alright, I think? - The Bushranger One ping only 22:57, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

So we can change it to 2.35? Thanks. Changes made.Z07x10 (talk) 00:51, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Sorry I'm late to the discussion. So no, you cannot make the change. There is no problem making simple calculations (assuming we have all the relevant parameters) when we are missing a reference for a specific value. But this is not the case at all here. We have numerous, concordant primary and secondary sources virtually all agreeing on the Mach 2 value. So doing our own calculations to contradict those sources is the textbook definition of original research. On wikipedia, we just report what the sources say, so unless you find at least one secondary, reliable source with a different Mach value, there is nothing we can do here. --McSly (talk) 02:52, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

That's not the case and we have done this to death already. The Austrian Air Force clearly states 2495kph at 10,975m - the calculation is based on that. BAE SYSTEMS (the manufacturer) states 1521mph which roughly agrees and works out to Mach 2.3+. So the calculation is based on speed and altitude figures from a primary source, backed up by speed from another primary source and an assumed altitude. Note that 'Mach 2+' does not specifically contradict these values. Also, the changes have already been agreed after a very lengthy discussion, so if you want to change it back you need to get agreement here first! You can't just barge in and edit an already contested and argued at length edit.Z07x10 (talk) 17:52, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

:::To me, 2495 / (sqrt(1.405*287.05*216.65)*3.6) is not a complicated calculation. We do have all parameters needed for it. It's not really much more than a unit conversion imo. — Julian H.✈ (talk) 19:50, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Indeed; since the sources say "Mach 2+" the 2.35 number is not inconsistent and has been shown to be a routine calculation given that all available numbers for it are right there in the source. - The Bushranger One ping only 21:04, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

McSly, why do you change the value now without even mentioning it here? — Julian H.✈ (talk) 15:29, 14 September 2013 (UTC)"

Furthermore there is consensus in international wiki. https://de.wikipedia.org/Eurofighter_Typhoon http://www.bmlv.gv.at/waffen/waf_eurofighter.shtml This matches BAE SYSTEMS' mph figure of 1521mph http://www.baesystems.com/article/BAES_159814/typhoon. EADS state '2.0+' which does not disagree. http://www.eads.com/eads/int/en/our-company/What-we-do/Cassidian/Eurofighter.html It is important to note that the speed of sound at ground level is 765mph/1224kph, so neither the mph/kph figures from BAE or the Austrian Airforce are simply twice the speed of sound at ground level and the Austrian airforce state a specific altitude. Italian wikipedia also the use the Austrian Airforce as a source https://it.wikipedia.org/Eurofighter_Typhoon#cite_note-3 see https://it.wikipedia.org/Eurofighter_Typhoon#cite_note-3.

A consensus has been reached but McSly is going against that consensus using magazines and 'Haynes manual' so I should be entitled to revert back to the consensus as many times as I wish until a new consensus is reached in an appropriate manner.Z07x10 (talk) 09:03, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Deleting my earlier comment above is bad form. Given the nature of erlier comments on your Talk page and your general attitude I think you need an enforced break from editing. Mztourist (talk) 10:24, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Further on the talk page behavior and general attitude https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Talk%3AEurofighter_Typhoon&diff=574156286&oldid=574144566 where Z07x10 basically flaunts 3RR and policies against disruptive editing by claiming that it isn't edit warring as long as the revert button isn't used. Obviously, this is not the case, and I would bet that Z07x10 is aware of this (given the warnings already present on that talk page). To me, as someone not generally involved in this dispute, this makes me question the good faith of the editor. --OuroborosCobra (talk) 10:29, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Now that is rich. That's exactly the reason I'm here and not McSly, it's a policy failure. McSly made >3 changes in one day but didn't use 'revert' whilst doing them so he didn't get flagged. Furthermore I find it somewhat disturbing how some admins are choosing to ignore the actual history of the matter as I went to great lengths to relay above and are instead focusing on how many times I pressed the revert button in one day and the fact that when they chose to blindly jump in without researching the history of the dispute and make changes, I reverted them. If you look through my recent contributions to other wiki pages you'll see that I post some extremely sound sources in good faith without any nationalist bias, e.g.:

https://en.wikipedia.org/GQM-163_Coyote http://www.orbital.com/NewsInfo/Publications/Coyote_Fact.pdf

This article contains unsubstantiated claims and propaganda. The warning that was posted in the heading last year is both correct and highly appropriate. "This article may be unbalanced towards certain viewpoints. Please improve the article by adding information on neglected viewpoints, or discuss the issue on the talk page. (January 2012") The sources quoted are predominantly Polish and are based upon rationalisations to justify the expulsions of the Germans between 1945 - 1947.

I concur entirely with the comments made by Filipcyk on the Talk page https://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Masuria

Personal family history that may shed light on whether Masurens considered themselves German or Polish

There is much discussion on this page about whether the results of the referendum in Masuria after World War I to determine the wishes of the population to be a part of Poland or Germany were affected by the fact that Poland and the Soviet Union were at war and by the fact that perhaps much of the population thought they were voting to be a part of Prussia, but not Germany. I am not a historian and do not believe I am qualified to contribute to any article in Misplaced Pages. I am writing this to provide additional information to those who are so that it may help them. My grandfather and mother were masurisch. Like many masurisch, they had German first names and slavik sounding surnames. For example, my grandfather's name was Johann Filipcyk. Based on conversations with my family, masurisch people were almost exclusively Lutherans. Perhaps for that reason, their culture was very German and they very much identified with and considered themselves Germans. My grandfather was a German soldier during World War I. My grandmother and her children, including my father who was a child at the time, were at one point refugees fleeing the Russians during the first battle of Tannenberg during World War I. My family and other masurisch friends of the family always without question considered themselves to be Germans, and nothing else. They would be shocked if anyone would suggest otherwise. I realize this is just one personal experience and I have no way of knowing what the total population was thinking on the ground in Masuria in 1920. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Filipcyk (talk • contribs) 03:06, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Like him I come from a Masuren family who lived in Kreis Johannisburg (Pisz) for over 600 years. I have their records and my Grandparents and other relatives were there during the plebiscite after World War 1 and the allegations of so-called widespread intimidation by "the Germans" are nonsense. Most Masurens were Lutheran and culturally German even if they had mixed German, Polish and Old Prussian ancestry. The fact of the matter is that 99% of the Masuren population voted to remain as part of Germany because that is what they wanted and no end of Polish propaganda can change that. I also had family still living there in 1945 and they were expelled west of the Oder-Neisse river by the invading Russians and resettled Poles. For this contributor to claim that totally unbalanced and biased Polish propaganda is a substantive source is utterly ludicrous.

Comments:

I have largely expanded the article over the years with valuable material and noticed that this is being removed without discussion and using dubious motivation(statements "removing Polish propaganda" seem to indicate high bias based on ethnic grounds).I have asked the use in my comment to stop removing sourced information to which the only response was that he is removing "Polish propaganda". Another user has been trying to engage him on talk-without success. --MyMoloboaccount (talk) 20:22, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

• First Diff (38) is my correction of a broken link & converting data to a template webcite.
• Second Diff (39) preceded 37, but restored much material removed in violation of WP:PRESERVE. E.g., sourced material, categories, proper formatting, etc.
• Third Diff (40) preceded 37, and added the actual title of a journal article, the journal name, particular page #s, and date of cited journal.
• Fourth Diff (41) added the headcount of the faculty at LvMI (At this diff SPECIFICO had removed the number of "adjunct faculty" at LvMI. My edit provided another number plus a citation to verify the number.)
• Warning (42) is MilesMoney's template message on my talk page.
• Diff "Attempt to resolve dispute" (43) is MilesMoney's response on the article talk page to a thread I posted about the unjustified removal of {{SPS}} tags (the subject of which are under discussion on the RSN). It has nothing to do with any of the edits above.
• Alas – S. Rich (talk) 22:05, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

I can't speak to Srich's entire list, but he seems to be asking for a pass because "he's right" and others are wrong. Srich's interpretations of policy are dubious and he tends to insist on his interpretations even when others explicitly explain their disagreements to him. Such was the case with various of his recent reverts. I was not involved in most of this matter, but I can say that Srich's re-insertion of the term "adjunct faculty" after I removed the term "faculty" (explaining in my edit comment not that the number was incorrect but rather that this characterization "faculty" is not supported by secondary RS) should not give Srich an exemption from 3RR. I have, to my dismay, noticed that Srich has been unduly aggressive over the past four to six weeks in undoing good faith reverts of other editors with whom he may disagree. Rather than open a discussion, he re-reverts first and then waits until he's challenged before acknowledging other editors' concerns. He has been warned repeatedly about this behavior by various involved editors and at least one Admin. Srich is quick to bring or threaten complaints against others. SPECIFICO talk 22:44, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Specifico has his facts backwards. He removed "adjunct faculty" and I used the term "faculty", based on the RS supplied, when adding new information. (Either way, secondary RS is not required as to that particular fact because LvMI is sufficiently reliable to report the number.) I've made one user noticeboard report as to MilesMoney – and it was done after MilesMoney rejected my message about disruptive edits at WP:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Gene-callahan.blogspot.com. Specifico won't address the particulars on MilesMoney's list, but is quick to bring up unspecified matters and baseless warnings. Jeez, why am I responding to these absurd non-3RR comments? Perhaps because my integrity and good faith is repeatedly attacked. – S. Rich (talk) 23:12, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

This is not the place for Srich to litigate his disputes concerning article content and sources. The fact that he's trying to "win" that dispute here, as if that would excuse his edit-warring, is very disappointing. As Srich knows, I challenged whether the LvMI website's self-description of its employees as "faculty" is RS, given that it is not a school or accredited educational institution. Regardless of which view is correct, Srich's disagreement with me does not justify his edit-warring and his assertion of his viewpoint as fact is the sort of behavior which 3RR is intended to prevent. SPECIFICO talk 00:03, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, the article talk page is where content debate goes. This is for dealing with Rich's edit-warring, not his POV-pushing or incivility. MilesMoney (talk) 00:34, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

• Diff #3 has nothing to do with reversion; it is instead a small step toward building the article by fleshing out a citation. Diff #1 also is fleshing out a citation (a different one), something that nobody is arguing against. There are disputes at the article but diffs 1 and 3 are not part of the disputes. This 3RRN submission fails to prove its point. Binksternet (talk) 01:12, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Bink, I am concerned about your WP:Competence in evaluating questions of edit warring. For instance, you recently claimed I was engaged in an "ongoing" "edit warring" on Hanns Hoppe (1) when in fact I had made a total of 1 revert within several weeks (at the time of your complaint). Given your erroneous statements there and here, I encourage you to focus on building your WP:Competence prior to participating in these discussions regarding 3RR/editing warring generally. Steeletrap (talk) 02:15, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Specifico Steeletrap, every time you point me to the Misplaced Pages:Competence is required essay it signals that you have run out of better arguments. Binksternet (talk) 02:25, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Diff 3 is Srich removing the disputed word "polemecist" -- which both Binksernet and Srich have taken turns warring out of the article text. I'm not familiar with the other, but contrary to the above, #3 is certain a reversion. SPECIFICO talk 01:18, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

The prior version in Diff 3 took one word from the article and posted it as if it were the title of the piece. My revision provided the proper title of the Boettke article, plus more citation data. In this regard, the revert promoted NPOV.

Specifico has made a point about the usage of the term faculty in the infobox. (And as far as I can tell, this revert is part of MilesMoney's complaint.) I have opened a BRD on the article page about the use of the term. – S. Rich (talk) 01:59, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Srich, the purpose of this noticeboard is not to litigate your content disputes, nor for you to make a series of excuses for your 3RR violation. SPECIFICO talk 02:06, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

How does a BRD now make up for the 3RR violation? Oh, look over there!!! SHINY!!!!!! MilesMoney (talk) 02:11, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Specifico, the diff 3 action is not removing article text at all. It is instead fleshing out a citation which was poorly composed in the first place. Nobody at the article is arguing whether the citation should be fully fleshed out versus poorly composed. The word "polemicist" was serving in place of the title of the citation but the cited source did not use that word as the title. The cited source used "Economists and Liberty: Murray N. Rothbard". Again, nobody is arguing that the title of Boettke's paper is really "Polemicist". Binksternet (talk) 02:19, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

The purpose of this board is not to try out various excuses after having edit-warred, is it Bink? I think that's the 3rd time I've said that here, so I am done. SPECIFICO talk 02:26, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

The purpose of this board is to deal with edit warring behavior. Toward that end, the submission of evidence is expected to show a violation of 3RR or long-term edit warring behavior. This one fails in its attempt to show a 3RR violation, and it does not even try to show long-term edit warring. Srich is building the article, not warring. If MilesMoney tried to show long-term edit warring the WP:Boomerang would be whistling back in his direction. Binksternet (talk) 03:39, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

No violation As far as I can tell the only clear cut revert is diff 2. Diff 1 is putting an html link into a cite web template, and I can't see how it could be called a revert since there was no substantive change. (I actually tried to find what it could be a revert of but came up empty.) Diff 3 might be considered a revert if you're counting that the word "polemicist" was removed, but that would be a stretch, since it is just another html link being put into a citation template, and "polemicist" was not the title of the linked page. Diff 4 can be considered a partial revert of Specifico's edit. That said, this is the second time this crowd has been here for the same article, and I strongly advise all parties to tread carefully until the dispute is resolved. I will be putting this article on my watchlist, and I don't want to have to shut down editing for everyone with a gold-lock. ~Adjwilley (talk) 05:03, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

User:Athenean reported by User:Cavann (Result: no violation)

Page: Turkish people (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
User being reported: Athenean (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Previous version reverted to: Complex case, but is mainly about the deletion of material in this section Turkish_people#Prehistory.2C_Ancient_era_and_Early_Middle_Ages.

Athenean does not participate in talk page discussion, unless right before or right after a revert. Pretty much most of his recent contributions are reverts (in other pages too) . He seems to want an edit-warring conflict.

Diffs of the user's reverts:

• 1. 29 August 2013
• 2. 2 September 2013
• 3. 02:04, 3 September 2013‎

After this revert, I tried to solve the issues in the talk page. Athenean ignores the discussion, except his posts right after the revert. Without any response I make this edit 16:20, 5 September 2013. Barely an hour later, Athenean reverts.

• 4. 17:31, 5 September 2013

Since that date, extensive discussion has taken place in the talk page, including me posting bunch of sources . I have made this change 16:13, 22 September 2013. Despite being absent from Turkish people or Talk:Turkish people since 17:32, 5 September 2013, Athenean reverted barely 30 minutes after my edit.

• 5. 17:18, 22 September 2013
• 6. 17:27, 22 September 2013

This seems like a disruptive editing pattern, and edit warring. He also filed a Good Article Reassessment amid edit warring , even though he was warned in the article talk page that "Requesting reassessment during a content dispute or edit war is usually inappropriate"

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: Athenean is well aware of consequences of edit-warring, since he was blocked for it various times . He is also well aware of it with respect to Turkish people page, given that he posted the 3RR template on my talk page himself. .
Further warnings I posted on his talk page: ,

Frivolous bad-faith request by User:Cavann, who is the prime edit-warrior in this article (count 'em!). In fact I have only 4 reverts in this article in September, while he has accumulated almost a dozen. He displays clear WP:OWN behavior regarding this article (hence his revert warring), and is desperate to have me blocked so that he can get away with his POV-pushing. In his desperation, he resorts to all kinds of dirty tricks, such as bringing up my past history (even though I haven't been blocked for edit-warring in over 3 years now), mischaracterizing my edits as reverts even though they are not, bringing up edits from last month, and outright lies (about me not participating in the talkpage even though I am the one who has opened the discussion thread ). He is arrogant, belligerent and contemptuous towards other users in the talkpage, and has been repeatedly warned for this . Regarding the GAR, "If significant instability persists for more than a couple of weeks, then reassessment on the grounds of instability may be considered.", enough said. Athenean (talk) 22:53, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

You opened the discussion thread right after your revert. You say nothing in the talk page for 17 days (even tho you were active in Misplaced Pages), and then miraculously appear and revert 30 min after my edit, and then start a discussion thread in the talk page. This is disruptive. Cavann (talk) 22:57, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

All my reverts are accompanied by talkpage posts. There is nothing "disruptive" about that. In fact the opposite. When I don't edit the article (and I haven't been very active this month for RL reasons), I don't edit the talkpage. I am not obligated to participate in discussions when I am not reverting or editing at all. Your understanding of "disruptive" needs re-calibration, e.g. by looking in the mirror. Athenean (talk) 23:02, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

As I said, this is the problem. You only participate in discussion right before or after a revert. I have waited 17 days in the talk page for more of your input, yet you returned 30 min after my edit to revert. Cavann (talk) 23:08, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Actually, after this edit , which, for once, you did not revert, I was under the impression that we had reached an understanding. Unfortunately, it looks like I was wrong, as today you resumed your Anatolianist POV-pushing with full force. Your dispute with Alexikoua regarding page numbers, I was not involved in, and did not feel like getting involved, nor was I under any obligation to do so. The only "problem" here is your WP:OWN and WP:TEND behavior, and the edit-warring and arrogant, abrasive attitude that accompany it. Athenean (talk) 23:13, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

After you removed "material sourced to backpacker guidebooks," I came with journal articles and an Oxford Handbook, which was quickly reverted again. Please do not fake an "understanding," I was very clear in the talk page, 7 September 2013, which was ignored. Cavann (talk) 23:21, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

I hadn't seen this , and you didn't revert (amazingly), so I took as a sign that for once you had finally understood the point and backed down. You seem to think you can add all kinds of irrelevant stuff to an article just because it sourced, but it doesn't work that way.

Also very interesting you filed this report not after my last revert to the article, but after I filed the GAR (which you made sure to mention here, even though I am well within my rights to file a GAR). Proof that this is a frivolous report filed purely out of spite and retaliatory intent. Unsurprising, since you have been edit-warring on this article more than everyone else combined. If anyone should be blocked, it is you. Athenean (talk) 01:52, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

In July, this user blanked most of the Windows 2.1x article. . It got reverted. . A few days ago, on September 22, he blanked the entire page three times, getting reverted each time. He also blanked the Windows 2.1x talk page and a file page. . I don't know what should be done about him. Thank you. TheMillionRabbit 05:54, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Comments:

This user is falsely adding the information, which is solely created by him, he never make any discussion about the information that he adds, he goes on misusing the sources, by adding them, and claiming "my sources says that" when they don't even match any of his version. His made up information has been refuted like it can be seen at the talk page, but he seems to be highly obsessive in terms of pushing his own edit as a fact, and then he also follows me on other pages making same unreal claims, when they have to do nothing with the actual subject either. Bladesmulti (talk) 05:52, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Clearly Quale has not broken 3RR, as the diffs indicate. It is worth adding that Bladesmulti's claim that Quale is falsifying sources is wholly spurious. The opposite is the case, as can be seen at Talk:Cox-Forbes theory and Misplaced Pages:Fringe_theories/Noticeboard#Bhavishya_Purana. Paul B (talk) 11:16, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

He is falsely asserting "Bhavishya purana", which has to do nothing with the whole subject at all, that's where he is edit warring. Which is simple to understand. Bladesmulti (talk) 12:35, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Forbes claimed that the BP was his source. You are right that in fact it has nothing to do with the subject, because Forbes was proved wrong. And that's exactly what the article says. But it has to describe his theory to refute it. Paul B (talk) 13:00, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

This user has repeatedly been blocked for edit warring at Orthomolecular medicine and other pages that qualify under the Pseudoscience discretionary sanctions. As soon as they are unblocked they return to the same POVPUSH behavior within a matter of a few days. Page semi-protection for the pages this editor is active on should also be considered, imho. -- # ▄ 01:11, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

To UseTheCommandLine - I attempted to accurately reflect the content of the articles, as well as the phase I trials. Please tell me how I violated policy. You appear to be demonstrating lack of NPOV, as you are not accurately reflecting the content of the articles. The reviews are here, my coverage of them is accurate: http://ar.iiarjournals.org/content/29/3/809.long, http://advances.nutrition.org/content/2/2/78

Regarding "edit warring", You are referring to this edit history of today: http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Orthomolecular_medicine&action=history

and this edit I made, where I engaged in nothing approaching 3RR violations, as I made 1: http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Orthomolecular_medicine&diff=574259777&oldid=574258763 - which I modified to be more NPOV than the other revision, modifying it to state "some research groups argued". I have not since reverted the article, and at the end of the talk page, I urged other editors to abide, for the improvement of the article, to the BRD policy: http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Talk:Orthomolecular_medicine&diff=574261603&oldid=574259929

It is interesting, by the way, that other editors were earlier demonstrating NOTAFORUM violations, but UseThecommandLine only removed mine. See the comment to this, where he said "feel free to remove the collapsing thing if you feel the discussion can be re-directed productively": http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Talk:Orthomolecular_medicine&diff=573488383&oldid=573448770

Yet when I responded, he removed my response under the pretext that it violated NOTAFORUM. The difference between revisions states, "Reverted to revision 573488383 by UseTheCommandLine: NOTFORUM.": http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Talk:Orthomolecular_medicine&diff=573752194&oldid=573714342

I do not see how I am violating policy and edit warring, as I did not do anything close to violating 3RR (I only made 1 edit, I didn't even revert the article after that edit was reverted), attempted to accurately reflect content of articles while demonstrating NPOV, and posted concerns on the talk page. The warning is inappropriate. I brought up this issue on his talk page, and he merely said "please do not comment here", showing how his animosity was driving his edit decisions: http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:UseTheCommandLine&diff=574262022&oldid=574261422

In all honesty, I feel that UseTheCommandLine is using bully tactics to prevent these edits (which accurately reflect the content of the articles), from appearing on the page, as they go against his personal opinion. This was a preliminary attempt to get me blocked. 198.189.184.243 (talk) 01:20, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
