'''Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:'''
I haven't warned the guy, but I think he's seasoned enough as an editor to be aware of the guidelines. I made an edit in good faith, to remove POV from an article, after which he accused me of being a POV editor. To be fair to him, he did try to offer dialogue, of a sort, on the article talk page, which I answered in kind.

'''Diffs of the user's reverts:'''
'''Chill Dormer'''. 3RR is a very hard rap to beat as it tends to be automatic if the reverts add up. I don't think the nature of the reverts are of much concern; and vandalism is tricky - I got caught in similar circumstances where I assumed I had a vandalism case but it turned out he was enforcing policy. I would call for '''no action''' here on the basis that you didn't realise that reverting what you thought was vandalism could be construed as 3RR. In the circumstances the '''lack of any warning''' is a serious issue; the warning requirement is precisely to prevent cases like this where you accidentally breach 3RR. I suggest you be more careful in future but a block isn't justified in this case. I would ask Mal/Setanta as a Veteran Editor to withdraw as a gesture of good faith to a relative newcomer.

: Sarah I'm afraid I must decline - particularly after Domer's last paragraph here. What a closing admin decides to do is another matter, but I definately felt like it needed to be taken to another forum, as Domer was refusing to listen to me. I have to say that I also never got a second chance when two or three like-minded editors basically ganged up on me with one article at a time when I was barely aware of any 3RR policy either. So I'll leave it up to what ever admin decides to look at it. --<span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-size:larger;font-family: Monotype Corsiva;">]</span> 10:52, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

However, despite being reminded of ], twice, (boldly changing content, being challenged by another editor, and then agreeing to discuss it), in two separate edit warring reversions by myself (), with me both times asking to wait for the RFC consensus to see if the content should change, they continued to edit war.

:This amounts to character assassination and trying to “ban a POV you dislike”. I engaged in the behavior you did, regrettably. I also made it clear that you supported IP additions without sources at all, and when I re-established edits because I found ample sources for all of them (in accordance with the ongoing talk page back-and-forth), you continued to revert them and uphold flagrant misinformation. My point in doing so after the initial back-and-forth editing was to update the page with the aggregate of sources I had found in the progress of the talk page dispute. Also, where is the data on “80% of my edits being related to edit-warring” ? Immature editing is upholding unsourced edits in spite of sources, and using Misplaced Pages regulation to gatekeep pages. I abided by my original block, and engaged on talk pages as much as possible. In regards to ] edits, I eventually stopped. Not sure how really any of your examples constitute “not being mature enough” to edit Misplaced Pages. That sounds like you trying to ban someone who challenges any edit of yours or POV you favor, a common behavior among established Misplaced Pages editors. ] (]) 07:51, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

I am not perfect and here I saw my mistake and admitted it. You got a block 10 days ago and clearly did not learn anything from it.

:::“A good article” = meet Misplaced Pages’s kind of arbitrary editorial standard. The information sourced is poorly represented, and there are massive flaws in the source, yes. Your attempt to uphold an F5 rating and 300 MPH wind speed on the page for that 18th century tornado from the ESSL laughably clashes with your attempt to disregard an EF2 rating for a 2005 tornado, handed down from a structural engineer, previously involved in tons of notable tornado surveys in the US, who undertook an actual damage survey with photo documentation of the damage. It just doesn’t make sense. It indicates to me that you, and maybe others, are trying to exaggerate the intensity of European tornadoes and tornado climatology.

Pipera has chosen to add grandchildren and great grandchildren to the Robert de Quincy article. I have stated on the article talk page this is unnecessary and off-topic to Robert de Quincy. They have also misrepresented what a source states, which I have also stated on the article talk page.

:'''Comment.''' This is a mistake. Calling an editor review "practically userspace" opens the door for any editor who puts themself up for Editor Review to sanitize other peoples' comments. Since ] has indicated a possibility that he will seek administratorship, it is particularly troubling that he chooses to sanitize this page. It should be remembered that, when listing himself for Editor Review, he choose to accept comment on his performance on WP, good or bad. Even if an editor review WERE to be in userspace, that still doesn't give said user ]ership over the article. 3RR even applies to blatant vandalism, so it should clearly apply to this also. If these comments were so worthy of reversion, surely ] could have found someone else to revert, rather than running afoul of 3rr. He has clearly violated policy, and there should be reprecussions. ] 03:59, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

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

If we cannot allow reference to Finkelstein's own site in order to refute the attacks oon him, we really are in danger of breaching BLP in this article. ] 10:09, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Dear Misplaced Pages,

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

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

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

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

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

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

The word you keep adding "conspiracy theorist" in relation to the source is not what the source says, I posted the exact quote, and you removed it without any reason given.

This fellow is a repeat offender, and has often, as now, gone willingly over the ] line to get his "point" across. His first and only edit since eight months was to re-introduce (revert to) ''ad letteram'' a "pet phrase" of his removed one year ago. I am so exasperated with this "contributor" that I am willing to undergo a temporary ban as well - I unwittingly crossed just short of the 24h line () when I tried to rewrite the contested phrase into a correct and comprehensible phrase, with context, but this, I understand, can be seen as a revert.

:ThePromenader, who had his account blocked several times for violating the 3RR (), is now trying to frame me for 3RR here, part of his personal crusade to delete a reference to the "Paris metropolitan area" in the Île-de-France article. The third revert claimed by ThePromenader is in fact not a revert as a quick check can show, since I moved his edit to a dedicated Geography section and did not delete it.
:Since ThePromenader is using dirty tricks to portray me as the evil guy in this, let me inform the admins that the same ThePromenader made a fourth revert yesterday only two minutes after the end of the 24 hours time period (1st revert: ; 2nd revert: ;, 3rd revert: ; 4th revert just 2 minutes after the end of the 24 hours period: ). Today he also broke the 3RR with a partial revert than can arguably count as a fourth revert within 24 hours (1st revert: ; 2nd revert: ; 3rd revert: ; 4th revert (partial revert): ). Note that last time he broke the 3RR he had his block lifted by promising never again to violate the 3RR (). Shouldn't he be made acountable for his promises?

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

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

Cheers. ] 20:11, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

::::The third revert he's claiming is not a revert, since I did not delete his edit but moved it to the geography section. All he's trying to do here is to have me banned to get his point across.

::::: Nice try. You reinstated ''ad litteram'' your original text to its original place at the same time as you moved my contribution - in modifying the same as an added measure of provocation - to its own section: the first part is an obvious revert to your former version.

With due respect, and a deep consciousness to avoid wiki-lawyering, I have been struggling to collaborate with the user Yaf to resolve this long standing dispute. Notice that Yaf also has 41 reverts in this revert war too. And recently I have mended my ways and have begun trying harder to find a compromise. For instance today, July 3rd, my four edits are all not anything close to reverts, but each different and all offered as constructive compromise wording. Yet, the four reverts that Yaf performed today are all simple plain reverts. I appreciate the wisdom of a 3RR block providing time for cool down, and would accept such a punishment. I also would encourage a enforced cool down period on User Yaf. Hopefully when we return we can bring a cooler head and agree to work together to resolve our dispute. I sincerely believe that there is a chance for resolution, if cooler heads can be brought to bear. ] 20:21, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

This article is a bit of an odd case. As it at least partially fits under the heading editwarring I put it here.

TBH I am not exactly sure what is going on - several groups of editors are fighting over the article by essentially adding ever lengthening lists of long and not always so relevant quotations - rather than simply referencing the article At least one editor keeps reverting and throwing stuff out added by others, while continueing to add his own stuff. The overall process is relatively slow (days and weeks rather than hours) making it impossible to assert a 3RR and editwarring, though I think if I could ignore the 24 hour rule this is exactly what is happening in stretches. I have tried to create some movement forward by hinting at various policies etc on the talkpage, but have only achieved that i am now accused of being an involved editor (In fact I wrote the original stub and kept editing a bit here and there until sometime in 2005 (+one further uncontroversial minor edit a couple of weeks ago) . The article has long outgrown that original stub. Anyway, the accusation is made and I am probably not anymore the person to use admin powers. Could I therefore request that someone else has a look at the article and possible comments/enacts some order?

Thanks ] 00:25, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

As you can clearly see, Anonimu has been simply pushing his POV (contradicted by 4 users - Biruitorul, Dpotop, Turgidson, Dahn), but is being careful to do with so only 3 rv are in any 24-hour interval. This still qualifies imho as a disruptive editting, and is punishable with block. The other editors have better things to do and did not come back right away to rv Anonimu's POV. On the contrary, Anonimu got you to block Dpotop for rv his vandalism. Please, be careful next time. Anonumu has a history of radical communist rv wars. He has never editted anything else by communist-related stuff in the sence of making communism look as a democracy. The particular edit was a mention that the 1946 elections in Romania were rigged, which is a well-know fact. A proper, non-disruptive edit would have been adding a fact-tag to ask for specific sourse, not erasing to push radical left POV. :] 14:50, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

:*Comment. Please see that I self reverted to be on the safe side already:If this is deemed a legitimate 3RR violation, then I am sorry. However, blanking sourced material I think is properly considered vandalism. UltraMarine claims that he is removing it because it lacks sources, yet I point out it is sourced and I've add more sources-- yet the blanking continues. Thus, restoring the sourced material, I think, is excempt from 3RR, as I'm reverting vandalism.
:Also, the first revert is a new edit adding the material from the new version. It thus was not really a revert. There are three 3 reverts restoring the material after I intially restored it to the new version of the article. Again, I have no intention to violate 3RR or edit war, so if any neutral admin thinks I am in violation, let me know and I will gladly self revert and ask for a 3rd opinion on talk. No block is necessary.

Only if that is determined to be the case will I revert your blanking. Until that has been established (so I'm not in danger of violating any policy), I will abstain and thus no block is necessary. I'm seeking others opinions, and will allow them to make the appropriate actions and provide the proper guidence to this situation, while assuming good faith.

    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.

    Baffling edits, baffling discussion on article talk page, out of ideas. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 19:07, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

    Asked not to cross post at Talk:Pratt & Whitney F119 here. Not sure why the user name is giving an error in this report, possibly because the page hasn't been created yet? Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 19:24, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
    While the user clearly has some competence issues, I disagree with you calling their edits original research on the talk page since they seem to me to be simple, routine arithmetic based on sourced numbers which does not count as original research. They even reproduce some of that math there. Daniel Case (talk) 21:38, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
    And, yes, when a user has not yet created a page for themselves, their username is redlinked. It's not an error, just the way the software works. Daniel Case (talk) 21:39, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
    I'm aware of red links, I believe I had put their name in the wrong field. To be fair I don't come here every day. Is four reverts not edit warring? Synthesis, OR and calc aside they were demanding that American engines display their specifications in a Russian/Chinese format. As this is the English Misplaced Pages I don't think it was unreasonable to say that wasn't possible or desired but they persisted anyway. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 09:40, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
    Well, that last part hadn't been clear until now. Still ... you give only three reverts above, and if I were to infer which edit you meant to be the fourth from the article history it would appear that you are making the entirely too-common mistake of listing the "edit reverted to" as one of the reverts.

    In fact, they arguably have as strong, if not stronger, a case against you for violating 3RR as your reverts of their edits do not come under the 3RRNO exceptions. I would, seeing as you are as you said not a frequent reporter here, commend your attention to WP:DISCFAIL, written to adddress this sort of situation. Daniel Case (talk) 19:35, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

    Unless I am mistaken I reverted only three times, being very aware of 3RR I stopped and came here. I provided clear rationales in the edit summaries and attempted to converse with the user on the article talk page, it's not accurate to state that I did not try to discuss the problematic edits. I can see this is going nowhere. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 20:14, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
    @Nimbus227: You're not mistaken. You reverted only 3x. 湾岸2024 reverted 4x but the last revert was outside the 24-hour window. Your biggest "mistake", Nimbus227, was that you didn't prepare this report properly. The reason for the error in the username was because you failed to put it in one of the spots the template asks you to - I fixed that if you look back at the history of this page. The second error, which, unfortunately, is not that uncommon was you listed only 3 reverts instead of 4. In any event, because all of this happened a few days ago, I'm going to decline this as stale.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:23, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

    Diff of ANEW notice posted to user's talk page:

    Comments:
    I may earn a boomerang block for edit warring myself, however, I believe this report is necessary. Luffaloaf seems to lack the competence required to edit Misplaced Pages. This user has 176 edits total, of which, roughly 80% involve some sort of edit war. On December 7, Luffaloaf got involved in an edit war with 3 other editors (See 1764 Woldegk tornado: Revision history) and earned a 24 hour edit warring block. Back in October 2024, when they first joined, they received several talk page warnings for edit warring on the Harry Potter article (User talk:Luffaloaf#October 2024. And now, less than 2 weeks after being blocked for edit warring, they have done it again on the 2005 Birmingham tornado article (see article revision history). Another editor EF5 noted back during the December 7 edit war that this user also took to Reddit about the edit war. To also help the CIR issue, amid the edit war, actually their first edit to the article after being blocked for edit warring, the added unverified information.

    During today’s edit war with myself, to help diffuse the situation, I directly asked if they would be ok with a larger community discussion starting, to which they replied they were ok with it. As such, I opened an RFC. However, despite being reminded of WP:BRD, twice, (boldly changing content, being challenged by another editor, and then agreeing to discuss it), in two separate edit warring reversions by myself (), with me both times asking to wait for the RFC consensus to see if the content should change, they continued to edit war. I am ok with a boomerang block for edit warring, as I admit that I got well to engaged in the edit war (I deserve it for this edit summary), but I also see a clear pattern with Luffaloaf not understanding the concept of WP:3RR, edit warring, and WP:BRD, given their numerous notifications on it, their recent edit warring block, and the fact roughly 80% of their total edits on Misplaced Pages are engaging in edit wars. This is a case of not being mature enough to edit Misplaced Pages, which, in my opinion, seems to be confirmed with those off-Wiki Reddit posts discovered by EF5 linked above. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 07:46, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

    This amounts to character assassination and trying to “ban a POV you dislike”. I engaged in the behavior you did, regrettably. I also made it clear that you supported IP additions without sources at all, and when I re-established edits because I found ample sources for all of them (in accordance with the ongoing talk page back-and-forth), you continued to revert them and uphold flagrant misinformation. My point in doing so after the initial back-and-forth editing was to update the page with the aggregate of sources I had found in the progress of the talk page dispute. Also, where is the data on “80% of my edits being related to edit-warring” ? Immature editing is upholding unsourced edits in spite of sources, and using Misplaced Pages regulation to gatekeep pages. I abided by my original block, and engaged on talk pages as much as possible. In regards to Harry Potter edits, I eventually stopped. Not sure how really any of your examples constitute “not being mature enough” to edit Misplaced Pages. That sounds like you trying to ban someone who challenges any edit of yours or POV you favor, a common behavior among established Misplaced Pages editors. Luffaloaf (talk) 07:51, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
    Statements like that, along with large replies like this one on a good article I think help confirm maybe righting great wrongs. I do apologize for engaging in the edit war. My mistakes should not have encouraged you to do the exact same thing you got blocked for 2 weeks ago back on December 7. If anything, that almost seems to indicate you learned nothing from that block, since you went with “Oh, this editor is doing this, I can do it too”. I am not perfect and here I saw my mistake and admitted it. You got a block 10 days ago and clearly did not learn anything from it. Your editing behavior is a clear pattern now on 3 separate articles, which was seen by other editors, not just myself. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 08:00, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
    “A good article” = meet Misplaced Pages’s kind of arbitrary editorial standard. The information sourced is poorly represented, and there are massive flaws in the source, yes. Your attempt to uphold an F5 rating and 300 MPH wind speed on the page for that 18th century tornado from the ESSL laughably clashes with your attempt to disregard an EF2 rating for a 2005 tornado, handed down from a structural engineer, previously involved in tons of notable tornado surveys in the US, who undertook an actual damage survey with photo documentation of the damage. It just doesn’t make sense. It indicates to me that you, and maybe others, are trying to exaggerate the intensity of European tornadoes and tornado climatology. You are the malfeasant editor here, regardless of the “Misplaced Pages lawfare” article gatekeeping stuff. You are the only editor who had consistently opposed my edits. Luffaloaf (talk) 08:08, 20 December 2024 (UTC)\
    Will note that Luffaloaf has called Misplaced Pages's rules "autistic" and me a "euroretard" on the same Reddit thread (my Reddit username is "LiminalityMusic", I don't care disclosing that. EF 12:25, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
    Now at WP:ANI. EF 13:46, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
    Will note that this is insane to bring into a Misplaced Pages dispute? This has not happened on Misplaced Pages. Luffaloaf (talk) 19:44, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
    • Note: Luffaloaf is continuing to edit war with another user, amid this administrator noticeboard discussion. Very clear WP:CIR issue with a clear lack of understanding of Misplaced Pages’s WP:BRD and WP:3RR policies. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 19:53, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
      You are continuing to disregard sources to peddle misinformation on multiple pages related to tornadoes in Europe. You can lie all you want, the Birmingham tornado of 2005 was rated an EF2. It’s as plain as day. Why does that upset you so much? Luffaloaf (talk) 19:56, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
    • Both editors blocked – for a period of 48 hours I see at least 6 reverts each. EvergreenFir (talk) 20:05, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
      Whether or not I’m supposed to reply here I don’t know. But I would like to ask for some clarification (preferably from @EvergreenFir) on why the comment above says that WeatherWriter was blocked for 48 hours but the talk page says he was blocked for a week. Is there any particular reason for the discrepancy; was there an error or a typo somewhere? Hurricane Clyde 🌀 20:52, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
      @Hurricane Clyde I was using the script tools when I did this. I then went to block the individuals and, upon reviewing their block logs, found previous edit warring behaviors. Per WP:BLOCK, "Blocks serve to protect the project from harm, and reduce likely future problems. Blocks may escalate in duration if problems recur."
      Luffaloaf was blocked by Favonian just the other week for 24 hours for edit warring, so I escalated that to 72 hours. WeatherWriter has a rather lengthy block log, and I saw two blocks for edit warring in it. Upon looking again, I see that the second "block" was just an adjustment of the first one which was 72 hours. Regardless, I do not think an escalation from 3 days (72 hours) to 7 days is unreasonable, especially give the other disputative behavior. EvergreenFir (talk) 21:26, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
      Thanks for the clarification. Hurricane Clyde 🌀 21:44, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

    Pipera has chosen to add grandchildren and great grandchildren to the Robert de Quincy article. I have stated on the article talk page this is unnecessary and off-topic to Robert de Quincy. They have also misrepresented what a source states, which I have also stated on the article talk page.

    Even while filling out this report Pipera has reverted me twice, choosing to add back an unused 1790 source to the Sources section, and readding Robert's grandchildren and great grandchildren. This after being told by user:Ealdgyth(17 December 2024) that WP:AGEMATTERS.

    The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
    I have added the followi9ng:
    Robert married Orabilis, daughter of Nes fitz William, Lord of Leuchars. .
    Orabilis was married three times to Morggán, Earl of Mar and Adam of Fife, as stated in the links provided.
    They had:
    Saer de Quincy (died 1219), married Margaret de Beaumont, daughter of Robert de Beaumont, 3rd Earl of Leicester
    Unknown (daughter) de Quincy married de St Andrew
    Sir Saer I de St Andrew of East Haddon married Matilda de Dyve daughter of Hugh Dyve and Agnes they had issue:
    Robert de St Andrew married Albreda
    James de St Andrew (1228)
    Ralph de St Andrew (1228 - 1278)
    William de St Andrew
    Laurence de St Andrew
    Saer II de St Andrew
    John de St Andrew
    Sir Roger de St Andrew (d before 1249)
    Orabilis and Robert divorced.
    Secondly, he married Eve of Galloway, who was previously married to Walter Barclay. .
    it is alright for the children of Saer de Quincy to be placed on his page here, and not for the children of his sis5ter not to be placed here.
    They are also the grandchildren of the said parents and deserve the right to be placed there as well as the marriages of Roberts first wife and her three husbands as well as the second marriage of Robert her husband.
    I do not think I have broken any rules by adding this to his article supported by the external links provided. Pipera (talk) 00:20, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
    I have posted to the talk page this is also incorrect. Pipera (talk) 00:21, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
    I am not in an edit war, I posted new information which is educationally correct and was removed without any academic argument it was gone. no pre talk on the talk page concerning what was supplied by the person deleting the information.
    They firstly need to raise and entry and then talk and resolve, Pipera (talk) 00:23, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
    I am expanding these articles not rolling them back. I have been editing here since at least the year 2001, I was editing entries for the 9/11 project obituaries for the people that passed in 9/11. Pipera (talk) 00:26, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

    The editor whose revisions I am trying to undo publicly attacked the subject as an "opportunistic grifter". No one who uses such inflammatory language should be editing the page of this subject. This is common sense and journalism 101. He is clearly motivated by animus against her and should not be editing her page. Why is this even in question?

    Comments:
    I believe both IPs are the same person. The second IP's first edit is a talk page comment stating I'm not Ravidmurthy, but I am the one who has been doing most of the editing here., and after leaving that and another comment proceeded to make the same reversion (#4 above) as the other IP, a little more than 2 hours after #3. CipherRephic (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) was also involved in the edit war, but agreed to stop after being warned and has not broken 3RR.
