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

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

You must notify any user you have reported.

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

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

Additional notes

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

User:Mistery Spectre reported by User:Lvivske (Result: No action)

• 1. full rollback changes at part of her criticism
• 2. Tribune and the substitution of the event, again a complete rollback without discussion
• 3. minor mischief in the presence of a section on the topic

Member with ill-concealed conflict of interest, deletes the view of one of the parties, at the same time placing the other charges as established fact. My attempts to explain the principles of neutrality party were ignored for general remarks and accusations.

The problem is that the participant perceives the article as a kind of place "fight for justice", where you can edit in any way to remove if it is in his version of a lie, or make as a fact, if it believes it Mistery Spectre (talk) 06:14, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

I was restoring content you were blanking (re: disruptive editing on your part). Also, my edits are like...3 in 4 days? Hardly worth an edit warring report. Calling out "ill concealed conflict of interest" is pure bad faith on your part. --LeVivsky (ಠ_ಠ) 16:53, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

I understand you correctly, by some rules I am not allowed for any reason to remove your text, while you can without any arguments to delete my? Even if it is only the opinion of one of the parties and have already indicated within the text? Original. And now you suddenly disappeared, but there was a friend of yours, well, just open that provokes me to kickbacks, yes. Judging by the lack of arguments in fact, as I understand it, you have nothing to say? P.S Something I did not see in my text, charged with violating the rules of the three edit cancellation, only your edits war under false pretenses, yes. Mistery Spectre (talk) 20:52, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

In general, someone adding material bears the burden of providing citation of reliable sources. Just because something has a good source does not necessarily mean it belongs in an encyclopedia, but someone wishing to remove well-sourced material has the burden of explaining why (with reference to some policy, guideline, or logic, not WP:IDONTLIKEIT). If reliable sources disagree on the facts, an effort should be made to describe various viewpoints and who they are accepted by.

The area of your dispute is under discretionary sanctions, so if someone seems to not be here for the purpose of building a better encyclopedia, you can seek a remedy at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement but beware of WP:BOOMERANG. Rhoark (talk) 21:41, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

This is the problem that the user can not understand why the opinion of one of the parties can not serve as a fact. I'm not even talking about trying to save his text for the text itself. Mistery Spectre (talk) 16:08, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

You seem to have good-faith difficulties understanding Misplaced Pages policy. I suggest you redirect your efforts to wiki projects in your native language. Rhoark (talk) 06:31, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

• Result: No action. I suspect a malformed report because the complaint says it's about User:Mistery Spectre but the diffs are of edits by User:Lvivske. In any case there aren't enough reverts to break WP:3RR. Some of Mistery Spectre's edits do seem to be removing references, and that normally calls for an explanation.

Comments:

Stern warning time for a clear newby. Or we could WP:BITE, I suppose. Collect (talk) 21:07, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

• Note. As one can see from the diffs but is glaringly obvious when one looks at the complete history, Jmorrison230582 has also clearly breached 3RR under the (mistaken) impression that their reverts were exempt under WP:BLP.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:39, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

• I would personally consider anything sourced to the Daily Mail/Mirror/Sun to be a BLP violation, but then again, my opinions on those newspapers are pretty low. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 22:49, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

I strongly dispute your assertion that I "clearly breached 3RR". WP:3RR says "Removal of libelous, biased, unsourced, or poorly sourced contentious material that violates the policy on biographies of living persons (BLP)." The material was clearly biased and poorly sourced (if it was sourced at all). I warned the other user that it was breaching 3RR. When it was clear it would not back down I asked for a second opinion. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 06:50, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

• Result: Stale. But it seems to me that both parties may be risking a block if this continues. I don't see a justification for the reverts by User:Jmorrison230582 under WP:BLP. Perhaps they would consider getting opinions at WP:BLPN. User:Bbb23 has already expressed doubt that Jmorrison's reverts can be justified by a BLP argument. It is not defamatory for an article to say that a controversy exists if sources are provided, assuming that tabloids are not the only source. EdJohnston (talk) 21:42, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

American Horror Story: Freak Show

Katana (comics):

The user was warned on his usertalk page by Gloss less than 24 hours ago that edit-warring can lead to a block even if the bright-line rule of three reverts isn't crossed. LLArrow almost immediately removed the warning. Recently, this user has come right up to the 3RR line on several articles, including Katana (comics) and American Horror Story: Freak Show (see Diffs above). As well, the user is a bit aggressive when his edits are questioned, characterizing opposing edits as "vandalism" and "reckless".

I am not sure a block is appropriate here, but LLArrow is clearly either unaware how his aggressiveness is being perceived, or simply doesn't care. He's fairly new and doesn't have a lot of edits under his/her belt. I think they mean well, despite the occasional ass-hattery, and might be best served by some advice from an uninvolved party. The user's behavior is pretty disruptive to the idea of collaborative editing, and I am certainly not the only person who has noticed this.

Comments:
Like I said, I think counseling is going to be of more use than a block. The user needs to understand that (s)he isn't helping collaborative editing with his behavior or reverts. I've just met the user, and they've used up my AGF with their toolish behavior. LLArrow needs someone to help them be more civil and less OWN-y. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 04:37, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

User:LLArrow notified. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 04:40, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

His history of edit warring is pretty extensive, given his short time on Misplaced Pages. Also on American Horror Story: Freak Show:

• (, )
• (, , , , )
• (, , )
• (, , , , , )

- as you see, LLArrow has a VERY hard time accepting when his way is reverted. And although he'll often write on the talk page, he'll continue reverting the edits that go against his version in the mean time, very often against multiple editors with an opposite opinion from his. Gloss 04:57, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Administrator(s), I realize some of my actions do not reflect that of a competent contributor to Misplaced Pages, and though I do have worthy explanations for each of them, I will not waist your time. For what it's worth, I tremendously enjoy being an editor on this encyclopedia, and will strive to perfect my means and interactions with other peers. Thank you and cheers, LLArrow (talk) 20:38, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

• Result: No action. User:LLArrow has not reverted again on any of the listed articles since 05:00 on 1 February. Also he has made a conciliatory statement above. Let's hope this means he'll wait for consensus on these articles. But if any of these wars resumes, an admin might consider a block without further notice.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:

I attempted to resolve this issue on the article talk page and the editor's talk page but was met with hard opposition and refusal to discuss the issue. Disagreement has quickly become apparent, the editor refuses to work collaboratively, and does not move on to appropriate dispute resolution. Therefore, I have started this discussion.

Comments:
I believe the information in question about the broadcast of the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl in conflict with this match is worth mention. It had received coverage in third party sources. While I agree it is not a major part of this topic, it should be mentioned. It has been placed in the past at the bottom of the article. We could make an article about the "broadcast" or maybe the "controversy" but I think that would dilute the information and not concentrate it.

I have not restored the section that was blanked at this time--no need to respond with throwing fuel on the fire. Whatever the outcome, the removal of the information, refusal to discuss it, and the editors threat of edit warring are uncalled for. --Paul McDonald (talk) 19:13, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Funny thing is that I don't see any edit warring at all. There two reverts: one was completely normal as other editors (registered or IPs) also reverted it based on relevance to the article. The second was that you reverted mine and I went to the talk page of the article to show me opinion. I also replied to your message in my talk page. I see no threats at all in this situation. All I see is a user that has no updates whatsoever related to mixed martial arts articles that decided to add one info that has no place at all in such article. While I understand the good faith at the beginning, Paul McDonald found opposition on the article's talk page and still decided that his opinion was the consensus. I was another user that stated I'm against this update and I'm sure others that didn't see will feel the same. It shows me that you're making a big deal of something that is completely uncalled for. There's no edit war at all and if you reverted my second edit, I would just gather all the people that seem to be necessary for you to understand that people related to the MMA articles also disagree with that content. It honestly has no sense at all to be added in that article. And if other editors do see it, I'm certain they'll agree with the editors (including me) that felt it was a non-sense edit for the article. I'm open to discussion there as you can see on the article's talk page. Instead of taking a moment to see there was a majority of editors against his edit, he decided that we were approaching a 3RR situation - something incorrect. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 02:09, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

It was User:Technical 13 that closed the discussion as "not done" on the talk page. I don't see any other discussion. That I haven't edited a lot of MMA articles has no bearing on this discussion.--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:41, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

I'm not questioning semi-protection whatsoever that was requested. I'm questioning a majority (at that moment and with another user now) saying that they do not agree with your update based on the relevance of that fact to the event. How many situations of a establishment supposed to show one thing and then showing other should be added to wikipedia? You had a good faith edit at first, but many people had the same questioning to it. That's why I said that we should spare time and realize that. If you reverted it once again (I wouldn't find it an edit warring as I would do what I said - "It will happen": I'd gather the people (like I had to now) to also voice their opinion. It's a group of editors I've seen frequently in mixed martial arts articles with a good possibility of giving a fair opinion to the situation. I do believe they'll agree (probably all of them) with what other editors said (including myself) and tell you that there's no relevance to the info added and the event's article. I wouldn't revert you as it would be 3RR violation and I would have to do what I'm doing now.

With that being said, I do not believe there was an edit warring (neither yours or mine). You wanted to prevent it, I give you props for that. It wasn't going to happen, but ended up as I said it could end and as you probably wanted to: a newer discussion. I say leave it as it is as let's wait for the other editors opinion on the matter. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 03:59, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Hopefully my last comment: I requested that the editor discuss the issue on your talk page at User talk:Gsfelipe94#Blanking sections. The response was to revert without discussion and then... well, the reviewers can read the details there. Less than 10 days ago, the editor had a 24-hour block and was given the advice to first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. Because it is so recent, I think it bears consideration again that this editor does not take these measures.--Paul McDonald (talk) 04:38, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

And the block was reverted right away as the administrator didn't check the entirety of the situation. I was blocked for a moment because I did break the 3RR rule. Wasn't my intention as I was constantly reminding the other user that we had a consensus about that situation. I don't see how that can relate to this, specially if you do check the entire situation instead of just seeing I was blocked and unblocked right after it. If you check my contributions page, you'll see from that day on how I have acted in other situations. You rushed a edit warring discussion here presuming I would do it. The discussion is on, yet you accuse me of canvassing - once again I bring here this word: funny. One of the editors I pinged to the discussion was the one involved in the situation one week ago. 1- You asked me to create a discussion on the talk page: I did it. I manifested my opinion there and there were already 3 opinions similar to mine while your remained alone till that moment. 2- Your denial of those opinions and removals gave me the impression of you wanting to defend your update at all costs until the end. Just like you said you have the impression I'm canvassing, this was my impression. 3- More info on the talk page. Please spare our time, I don't want to get more editors just to make it clear and obvious for you. It will happen. -> Here I confirm you that I gave my opinion there (as you asked me to) and then asked you to avoid a longer discussion (like this one actually) as you already had 4 users disagreeing with your update, while you were the only one defending it. If you didn't do that and reverted it again (or a situation like this happened - something I honestly didn't predict), I would get the editors to opine and I believed they would agree with the 4 people who already voiced their thoughts. Once again, this has nothing to do with a semi protection request by an IP user. I've said it on the article's talk page. We should focus on the situation: 3 editors against you in the past. I came up, found that out and I also disagreed with the update. Despite the 4x1 situation, you still thought there was room for the update. I just pinged some editors that are known to contribute to MMA articles (I asked you to bring people too) and let's see how it goes. If in the end there's a majority vote to keep your update, I would respect that. There's nothing complicated about that. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 04:56, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

• Result: No action. Several editors at Talk:UFC 168 agree with removing the paragraph in question from the article. If anyone is not convinced of this, they can open a formal WP:RFC to gather opinions. But the material (about televising of football versus MMA in Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants) does appear too trivial to include. Not everything that can be sourced belongs in an article.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:

Comments:
The user keeps removing text (which has been in the article for a long time), claiming that I need to provide a translation of the original text from the source first. This is by itself disruptive, since a simple quotation tag, instead of a revert, would have been enough.
I spend time on the translation and posted it on the talk page. However, he then claims that I need to provide a translation done by a reliable source, which goes against WP:NOENG.
He also constantly added text that violated WP:BLP, and made off-topic, heated and combative talk page comments.
His comments, especially the last two diffs, show that he is concerned with combating the "Russian POV" in the Ukrainian-Russian conflict articles and is bringing this fight to this article.
Also, over a month ago there was another user edit warring in the same article. The article was later protected. -YMB29 (talk) 03:25, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

• I'd argue that this user could do with a topic ban under WP:ARBEE (he is aware). Repeatedly edit-warring in EE articles over the course of a long period time (see block log) indicates that this user is not capable of handling the topic area. Blocking him again is not going to solve the problem. A topic ban is the solution. RGloucester — ☎ 04:14, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
• I think Sayerslle made only two obvious reverts during last 24 hours. YMB29 also made at least two reverts. This is a complicated issue. If anyone wants this be considered at AE, that's fine. Please submit an official WP:AE request. My very best wishes (talk) 06:01, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

There is a difference between two reverts and four in almost a 24 hour period. Some reverting is allowed under WP:BRD. My last revert was to undo the previous revert by Sayerslle after I provided what he asked for in his revert summary. I thought that would settle it, but it did not... -YMB29 (talk) 07:21, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

this is 'stale' in sense that I have become so revolted by YMB29's TE that I have told him I don't want anything further to do with the main article page. he didn't provide what I asked for - the original text , on the article page,('in articles, the original text is usually included with the translated text when translated by Wikipedians' - he says, that doesn't mean on the article page, but it says what it says) -he studiously ignores everyone he disagrees with, -he kept removing RSourced material from the lead for no reason apparent to me, kept twisting the text in his favourite section, and so on. as for RGloucester's remarks i think that would be an over-reaction and I also notice that though I have edit-warred over 6 or 7 years, it is rare in the context of my overall editing ( this is an editor who put the MH-17 Malaysia airlines article up for deletion - he has his personal agenda and does things like that for a laugh apparently - and yet presumes to teach others about how to respect the encyclopedia ffs )-- i shant edit the article any more- do admins ever look at the substance of disputes btw - the lead was virtually 'these rapes, they've been nailed as part of an effort to portray Germans as victims, especially in the West -' - it was tendentious, it was odd, - and then YMB29 wants the views of marginal extreme Russian nationalist propagandists - everywhere, but if you try and add that a historian has been identified with a certain attitude to the history of Russia - and source it to the BBC - look out, you'll get called a violator of BLP, ( if you believe that take it to the appropriate venue - see what others think, that would be good), - you'll get your edits trashed - and then after the editor involved has edit warred with you, and others, but plays the game apparently against those who just care about the integrity of the text, well - he'll try and get those he basically hates politically taken out. Sayerslle (talk) 10:52, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

• This is just to clarify what is happening (in chronological order):

1. YMB29 is engaged in sustained slow-motion edit war on this page ,,,,
2. EdJohnston blocked another user (and rightly so) for edit warring, protected this page for one month, and issued YM29 an EE warning, with a reference specifically to this page
3. YMB29 asks to revert protected page to "his" version. Others object
4. YMB29 resumes edit war immediately after expiration of protection
5. He now reports yet another user for edit warring. My very best wishes (talk) 13:14, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

I would not defend YMB29's behaviour. However, Sayerslle has a long history in this ARBEE topic area, and of being in similar disputes. By now, it should be come apparent to him that his style of editing has not led to a productive result in this topic area. RGloucester — ☎ 14:24, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

I don't want to turn this into a big threaded argument, but I just want to note that user "My very best wishes" is not a neutral observer here. He has been engaged in edit warring and harassment in the EE topic area for a long time. He also has a long history with me, including recent examples of clear wiki stalking. I can provide all the required diffs, but this is not the right place I think.

The user also commonly makes claims that are simply not true. This is not an EE warning, as it clearly says This message is informational only and does not imply misconduct regarding your contributions to date. And I did not edit war after the protection expired, as there was an agreement to re-add back some text. -YMB29 (talk) 15:27, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

You tell that you did not edit war after expiration of protection. How come? Here are last 50 edits on this page. They are made during last 48 hours. I can see three reverts made by Sayerslle and three reverts made by you (in addition to my diff above). In addition, it was you who brought this request here, asking to deal with an edit war between Sayerslle and who? My very best wishes (talk) 15:50, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

You claimed that this is edit warring, which is false.

You also never explained your sneaky revert to remove text without consensus. -YMB29 (talk) 16:03, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

there is no consensus as far as I can tell to add all the stuff you want to from dyukov and senyevskaya , two fringe historians, - you just ignore others -and if you think the 'revisionist 'tag is unjustified why not take it to a venue where that could be looked at - its you that just edit wars - Sayerslle (talk) 16:21, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

If there is no consensus, changes have to be restored to the previous state, per WP:NOCONSENSUS.

If this basic wiki principal was followed the first time, before the page protection, we would not be having this problem again now. -YMB29 (talk) 16:29, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

I meant there was no consensus for your massive verbiage of extreme fringe pov historians to be quoted - it was only you fighting for all that pov verbiage as far as I could see- you writing 'this problem again' - what, you mean this has been a problem before? why do you think that is ? because its problematic ? ever thought of that? - and it was you that repeatedly removed sourced material for 'revisionist' - you that disruptively edited ad infinitum over that - why wont you take that source to a RFC or something - you prefer to edit war don't you , that's what you're like Sayerslle (talk) 16:41, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

I meant that you are not the first one to edit war against consensus in the article. -YMB29 (talk) 16:55, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

you are the principal edit warrior at this article . full stop. you are the principal pov pusher. you ignore consensus and other editors opinions. I see at rootless cosmopolitanism you leave edit summaries like - ' It is a valid source. Your opinion does not matter here' - and impose your (invaraibly Stalinist/Putinist/extreme Russian Nationalist/xenophobic pov writer of choice . I like the way some opinions don't matter to you. your opinion matters to you, thats all. disgusting. why don't you take your challenge of 'revisionist' to a forum of some kind? why do you just edit war over that? -yu say I violated BLP and you kept edit warring - ask for another opinion. go on. Sayerslle (talk) 17:16, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

BLP violations are usually removed right away. I was actually going to go to the BLP noticeboard about this, but then I saw that you keep reverting other parts of the article too. -YMB29 (talk) 17:34, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

no, not 'other parts of the article' - just your verbiage from fringe historians for which you have no consensus whatever - you edit war over 'revisionist' and don't take it to a noticeboard becase you like to see people you disagree just blocked or tpic banned rather than have your edits scrupulously looked at no doubt - at 'rootless cosmopolitanism' one sees again the nature of your 'work' and editing 'style' ,- diverse, well sourced material is removed and huge blocs of text , the work of your favoured Stalinist/Russian nationalist/xenpophobic writers are put in their place - you denigrate other editors , 'your opinion doesn't matter' - you edit war - you accuse people of BLP violations but don't take it to a noticeboard, just edit war - awful. a menace. Sayerslle (talk) 17:44, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

• @RGloucester. Yes, Sayerslle has a short temper, just like you. However, I have seen him contributing positively on a number of pages - just like you. YMB29 is very different. I believe he is simply a POV-pushing SPA contributor with nationalistic agenda, someone described in the essay by Moreschi. I think he does not contribute positively at all, but engaged in WP:TE editing and slow-motion edit wars on multiple pages, just as on this page, and this is something I tried to tell with supporting diffs here. My very best wishes (talk) 12:39, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Your last link is to an old version of the page that does not include my response.

You are just throwing baseless accusations. So I am a nationalistic SPA... Is that why you are keeping an eye on me and following me around?

I can understand why you are defending Sayerslle; you are both pushing the same POV together in many articles (like ). Given your history, I would not be surprised if you canvassed him to this article; he never edited the article until last Friday, which was when you complained about me "edit warring" but said that you don't want to get involved yourself. -YMB29 (talk) 16:04, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

@YMB 29 - that is not AGF. What I have a habit of doing YMB29 is sometimes clicking on the contribution histories of contributors that I have encountered , that is all, and that is why I looked at this article , and rootless cosmopolitanism. Sayerslle (talk) 16:28, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

For the rootless cosmopolitan article, he openly canvassed you. -YMB29 (talk) 16:52, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

that looks like open talk page conversation to me - is that what made me look at that article -anyhow I do look at contribution histories and that is what ,as I recall anyhow , brought me to this page about 1945 - I don't know what shared 'pov' you think we might be pushing anyhow - evryones pov is shaped by a multitude of things really - the thing is , is to be self aware when editing Misplaced Pages, to be aware of any bias and always seek to edit for the best of the encyclopedia - you just use wp as a place to pursue your nationalist pov - that's my opinion. and its shaped by my reading of Orwell's Notes on Nationalism - the tell-tale signs of that kind of mind - my personal opinion, not the result of a canvassed campaign against your (pov) edits Sayerslle (talk) 17:12, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

I am not sure what your accusations are based on exactly, but a simple look at your user page will show that it is you who has an agenda here. -YMB29 (talk) 20:28, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

a simple look at my user page reveals an open ness - a simple look at your user page - reveals - nothing. which in its way is revealing also. My user page reveals I am not a nihilistSayerslle (talk) 20:32, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Meanwhile the reverting continues. -YMB29 (talk) 16:03, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

good faith editing continues. i'm editing the discourse section , is that all right with the FSB? and your edit to the lead was POINT-y and pointless - you present a source and then challenge it yourself - twittish disruptive idiotic edits. and you whine about others canvassing and stalking you ffs, yet you carry on here a pathetic campaign monitoring others good faith edits - nauseating. - another editor observed of you 'you are doing almost nothing but reverts in a single article for the entire month' what are you here for really - you don't contribute to the encyclopedia except for a few articles where you edit war- hypocrite, you are 16:28, 5 February 2015 (UTC)Sayerslle (talk)

The issue was brought up on the talk page and the IP has not commented there since. They've continued reverting to their preferred version despite an edit warring/3RR warning. Gloss 17:52, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

@Gloss: I actually did comment there and filed a WP:DRN. Look carefully. 108.6.38.122 (talk) 18:31, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

You filed that DRN? That was filed by a different IP address than yours. - so you're admitting to having used two different addresses first of all. And secondly, you commented after making your fourth revert… after receiving an edit warring notice. The comment after the final revert doesn't make the final revert okay. Gloss 19:25, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

There haven't been three reverts in 24 hours. The reverts have been in a longer period, so that the edit-warring doesn't cross the bright line. Also, since IP addresses change, the use of multiple IP addresses is not considered sock-puppetry. However, I do advise the IP to register an account, because the article is likely to be semi-protected. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:51, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

This is the edit warring noticeboard, no? Not the 3RR noticeboard, specifically? 24 hour time period or not, the IP was reverting to get their way throughout the discussion and after 3 reverts over Feb 2/3, a warning was given and an additional revert took place. If a block isn't issued for something like this, I don't see what this noticeboard is for. Gloss 03:11, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Blatant edit warfare, with reverts carefully spaced out to avoid violating the letter of WP:3RR. Repeated insertions of content – unsupported or insufficiently supported by sources – on a BLP.

User has reverted myself and others seven times to date: http://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Contributions/109.145.70.145

I gave them a standard 3RR warning (which they later removed from their talk page): http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:109.145.70.145&diff=prev&oldid=645208883

Another user explicitly invited them to discuss the edit on the talk page in lieu of further edit-warring: http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Giuliano_Mignini&diff=645088208&oldid=645026066 SuperMarioMan ( talk ) 00:35, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Comments: The week before, Grinbriar made an attempt to revise the plot summary in the Streetcar article. I liked the idea of someone coming in to improve it but reverted it, due to the presence of several grammatical errors, unnecessary detail, and what I felt was just not good writing. We had a brief discussion in the linked article dicsussion page and my own talk page, but it didn't lead to anything. After about half a week he resumed making the same edits with the same errors and stopped responding to talk page messages altogether. I even tried to explain myself on his own talk page, but seeing how he hasn't even commented on any talk page for over a week it's clear that I'm being ignored. He did stop for a few days, so I had assumed he had just given up, but he went back to making the same edits (with the same vague explanations like adding "key details" or describing "what the play is actually about") just last night. I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to do at this point. TheStickMan 16:09, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
