	I've been watching this situation closely for a week now and I strongly disagree with this block. Mel has been simply trying to tidy and conform articles to ]. For this he has been badgered and suffered many, many personal attacks from Anittas and Winnermario for over a week now. They've resisted him at every turn. He's rightly brought this to our attention at ] and ], and others have intervened on his behalf to no avail. The two who oppose him are by any meaningful definition bullies and vandals. Mel should not be punished for resisting their abuse in good faith. I'm unblocking him as I feel this block did not take into account the intentional abuse and goading that he's faced, and so is unjustified. ] 15:59, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

	::How could it possibly be? The MoS is merely a guideline. But more importantly, that wasn't even offered as an excuse by the admin doing the unblocking here.
			*] insists edits to the article require prior consensus and claims the right to summarily delete any changes which are not presupported rather than letting them stand for comment. Policy violation should be apparent. Underlying issue is verifiability, and ] asserts that toning down of an unsourced factual claim must be sourced, even though the original language remains unsourced. ]'s reverts are not properly marked and are accompanied by inappropriate edit summaries. ] 16:32, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

			* is quite obviously not the first reversion, for it was an edition in which I choose to selectively keep some edits while removing others. Monicasdude insists on adding and reinstating edits which were disputed in ], where he failed to convince anyone and instead faced opposition from just about all who replied. Yet he failed to respond, and all of a sudden, chose to enforce his edits into the article without any sign of wanting to find concensus. He further made several changes in his edit without being able to show any verification for them, such as suggesting that platform screendoors are unable to prevent all cases of unauthorised intrusions by the simple change of one word which he insisted on reinstating despite objections in the FAC nomination. He did these without showing initiation to discuss, while I was the one bringing them up for debate. All my reverts were well explained, unlike his reverts which were devoid of reasoning. I would seek fair judgementin this case from the admins. Thank you!--] 16:47, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

			::::While I appreciate the need for evenhandedness in handling disputes, I would have thought that my responding to ]'s violation by reporting it in accordance with guidelines, and limiting my subsequent edits to relevant talk pages, should be sufficient to demonstrate my intention to comply with the applicable policy. Given his sanctioning by arbcom barely two weeks ago for similar behavior in another area, I don't think your response is appropriate. ] has taken a garden-variety verifiability question and, without provocation, turned it into a full-blown, personalized dispute, and is edit warring to preserve a set of unsourced, moderately dubious claims. He has conspicuously violated applicable civility and personal attack policies and guidelines. He denies an overt, intentional 3RR violation. It is, I believe, irresponsible to tacitly encourage him to continue in such behavior, as your response has done. ] 22:19, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
	:Thanks to FM for unblocking me, and to BMIComp, Guettarda, and Squeakbox. I found the block rather odd in the first place, as I haven't touched the article in question for two days. Unlike those reverting my edits, I've taken the issue to RfC, have been discussing the best way to reach a solution to the disagreements, and stopped reverting any of the edits. What exactly was the block supposed to achieve? My understanding was that blocks for 3RR violations were intended to give a cooling-off period in revert wars. --] (] 16:27, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

	Mel is one of the finest contributors I know yet a violation of 3RR is just that and there are no excuses. Mel is well aware of the rules and I agree that this should go to ArbCom or at least mediation. I strongly agree that there is a high probability that Mel is being stalked and this may be expected when someone makes as many edits as he does. Administrators are subject to the same rules as everyone else.--] 19:31, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
			* Previous version reverted to:
	:Thanks for the compliment. I should say that when, a while ago, I violated 3RR (inadvertently, as in this case, and in the heat of the moment), I made no protest, and accepted the fact of my mistake and the consequences. In this case, it's not just that the violation was two days old (and I was unaware of it until the block), but that I'd not touched the article since then. In other cases, it has been argued that blocking isn't a punishment &ndash; we don't have a penal system here &ndash; but an enforced cool down, and thus inappropriate when no cooling down is needed. I didn't ask to be unblocked (aside from anything else, I didn't know that I'd been blocked until I logged on and saw the unblock), but I don't feel uncomfortable about it, as the same has happened to other editors in the past, and for what I take to have been good reason. (With regard to the RfC, something of the same applies; I had been drawn into a revert war over disruptive edits, but had stopped before the RfC was called. In that case, however, there's the added point that there was no genuine attempt to resolve the matter by those bringing the RfC. But that's something to go into elsewhere.) --] (] 17:45, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

			If '''"in the cases where multiple parties violate the rule, administrators should treat all sides equally"''', then I would question the rationale of blocking him for 12 hours compared to the full 24 hours I was blocked for. If I may refer to the nomination made against me ], links pointing to reverts 2 and 3 were actually refering to the same '''one''' revert (just refer to the version numbers), so in actual fact, only three reverts were cited. In addition, revert 4 cited by him does not revert to the same version as the previous revertions too. Yet I was blocked for a full 24 hours despite the sloppy nomination, when the nominator himself is equally guilty of 3RR violation, if not more so. I do hope for a fair judgement here, in what I feel should have resulted in the same 24 hour block for both parties in the initial nomination made against me by Yuje.--] 20:22, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

			::If you may refer to the above, I did not violate the 3RR rule going by your definition of what 3RR is. And if you may apply the same theory to the first nomination by Monicasdude, I have not violated the 3RR either, since practically all reversions mentioned points to a different version. In addition, I have proven that the first reversion cited was actually the "version reverted to", and not a reversion in itself, hence resulting in only three reverts, not four. Other admins who evaluated the case decided not to press the 3RR charge against me after looking at the overall situation at hand. Surely this should say something about the perculiarities between each case.--] 20:33, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
			:Indeed, but then you decided to ] on another article as well. As both reports on you were rather watery, if only one had been filed, it would have been ignored. As you are obviously a chronic edit warrior, two 12 hour blocks (one for each watery report) seem to do. Both your violations are the same as Yuje's one violation. ] 20:43, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
			::If being a chronic edit warrior is your justification for a 24 hour block, than I suppose the long-term edit warring I have had with Yuje in that same article for months on end (the evidence is all in the article's history) is not considered chronic on the part of both parties? The simple reason why I did not come forth to dispute my 3RR block at first, was that I do accept the fact that my revert warring was wrong, whether there were more than 3 reverts or not, since '''gaming the system''' is also justification for a block. However, I am greatly upset over what I feel was a lack of justice in the way the punishment was metted out, and that it actually took my counter-nomination before anything was done. Are nominators somehow given the benefit of the doubt, while their nominees are automatically half-gulty and easily thrown into the dungeon even with flimsy evidence? It is not my responsibility that both their nominations were ''watery''. That they choose to nominate despite having weak justifications, and that both are also clearly revert warring and gaming the rules, demonstrates to me the lack of justice in this case overall. My primary concern is not to absolve myself of blame. I accept my violation of the 3RR. But I find it difficult to sit down knowing others who are equally guilty can have a lighter sentencing or even go scot-free.--] 20:59, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

			Please stop talking down to me. I have read the 3RR policy several times. That's why I'm here, asking for action against someone who has breached it. If he continued reverting after 24 hours, ''then'' protect the page, why not? I'm not asking for you to resolve an edit war. This page is for editors to request action against other editors who revert more than three times. We didn't ask for the page to be protected and don't want that. We want the editor who is in breach of policy to be blocked, so that he can think about whether he can edit within the policy. You are ''supposed'' to take sides! The idea of this page is for the side that has ''not'' breached the 3RR to ask for action against the side that has. What's the point of the page otherwise?

She can't be warned in advance of every possible violation she could commit, and doesn't appear to care to listen regarding the things she ''has'' been warned about.

The issue is what quotes from which skeptics should appear on what pages. There was not an intent to produce--nor do I believe an actual-3RR violation on my part as I understood the rule. There was an attempt to find a balance among three pages concerning a number of quotes (the third page is ]. I was actively discussing the matter and showing in my editing that if skeptical quotes were removed from one page, but the bulk of the material critical of Magdoff was unchanged, then we had to make some decisions about NPOV and balance by moving quotes around.

So there's been reversions back and forth, in spite of the fact that just about everyone except Unfocused and SPUI (and even they claimed they were happy with merging, I guess their votes weren't terribly sincere) think the material is best in the Flemington article or in the garbage. Besides, a merge/redirect can be done by any user at any time, without an AfD, and the results of an AfD, even if there were a consensus to keep, do not prohibit it from being done. SPUI had the further audacity to remove the information of the stupid traffic circle from the Flemington article, then complain that it wasn't included there anymore.

	*****It was SPUI who removed the info from Flemington (and then complained that it wasn't there). I didn't even notice. He was perfectly free to put it back. And a redirect without a merge is ipso facto ''not'' deletion; at no time did I use the administrator deletion powers, which is the definition of deletion, so to accuse me of deleting anything is incorrect. As for my comment, now if I had included in the edit summary "merge in lovely information generously supplied by that lovely contributor SPUI, who works day in and day out to make Misplaced Pages a better place for all", the resulting article would have been 100% the same. To call one vandalism and the other not in pretty lame. Now I'm at least glad you haven't reverted the article; I assume you're happy with the situation as it stands, as you indictaed at the AfD? As nothing is deleted, I see no reason why either you or SPUI should not be, and I hope this is settled. -] 19:10, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Regarding the content now, I don't intent to revert it myself, but since there are several traffic circles in that municipality, I expect that if they're all merged back into the municipal article, it will probably get large enough to split off some content into separate articles... and we may be back where we started. ]] 19:24, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Thus, again, look at one of the examples I cited: . There is no excuse for such widespread blanking. They gave no explanation, just ''vers by Impel''. The definition of vandalism given ] is "any addition, deletion, or change to content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of the encyclopedia." I'm not going to revert them again, because this is too much work. This isn't even accounting for their previous edits that have gone un-reverted.

Perhaps anon is Impel. Perhaps anon just thought Impel's version was a better version. Either way, it still looks like a content dispute, and there does not seem to be a 3RR violation. I think you have done the right thing by soliciting discussion on the article Talk page, I suggest you also place a similar message on the anonymous user's talk page. If the user(s) mail to engage in discussion over their changes, then a block might be warranted. However, blocking a shared IP address is a serious step.

Comments:

• Warned on her talk page.
  • I'm disinclined to block because the warning happened after the reverts, but if another revert happens please post it here. Also, in the future, please provide the "version being reverted to," followed by diffs between the anon's reverts and that version. And your timestamps and order should be right too. That reduces the job of the admin verifying the 3RR violation greatly. Thanks! -- SCZenz 17:02, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Comments:

• User:Huaiwei insists edits to the article require prior consensus and claims the right to summarily delete any changes which are not presupported rather than letting them stand for comment. Policy violation should be apparent. Underlying issue is verifiability, and User:Huaiwei asserts that toning down of an unsourced factual claim must be sourced, even though the original language remains unsourced. User:Huaiwei's reverts are not properly marked and are accompanied by inappropriate edit summaries. Monicasdude 16:32, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
• 14:53, 20 December 2005 is quite obviously not the first reversion, for it was an edition in which I choose to selectively keep some edits while removing others. Monicasdude insists on adding and reinstating edits which were disputed in Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore), where he failed to convince anyone and instead faced opposition from just about all who replied. Yet he failed to respond, and all of a sudden, chose to enforce his edits into the article without any sign of wanting to find concensus. He further made several changes in his edit without being able to show any verification for them, such as suggesting that platform screendoors are unable to prevent all cases of unauthorised intrusions by the simple change of one word which he insisted on reinstating despite objections in the FAC nomination. He did these without showing initiation to discuss, while I was the one bringing them up for debate. All my reverts were well explained, unlike his reverts which were devoid of reasoning. I would seek fair judgementin this case from the admins. Thank you!--Huaiwei 16:47, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
• Just for the record, the following text I wrote in Monicasdude's talkpage was deleted without showing any ability in explaining his editorial behavior.--Huaiwei 17:05, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Response:

• Warned both parties; any further reverting will result in a block. .:.Jareth.:. 17:18, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

While I appreciate the need for evenhandedness in handling disputes, I would have thought that my responding to user:Huaiwei's violation by reporting it in accordance with guidelines, and limiting my subsequent edits to relevant talk pages, should be sufficient to demonstrate my intention to comply with the applicable policy. Given his sanctioning by arbcom barely two weeks ago for similar behavior in another area, I don't think your response is appropriate. user:Huaiwei has taken a garden-variety verifiability question and, without provocation, turned it into a full-blown, personalized dispute, and is edit warring to preserve a set of unsourced, moderately dubious claims. He has conspicuously violated applicable civility and personal attack policies and guidelines. He denies an overt, intentional 3RR violation. It is, I believe, irresponsible to tacitly encourage him to continue in such behavior, as your response has done. Monicasdude 22:19, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I would have blocked DrBat also, but I wasn't sure that he knew about 3RR policies. It's clear from the earlier reports on this page that he does, so I will block him also. However, I'd note that DrBat was reverting to the consensus version of the page, while Selina was not. · Katefan0/mrp 19:45, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

After Anonymous editor got reverted he goes and breaks 3RR himself. From the looks of it he does this thing whenever an edit he doesn't like is made - gathering Islamic-cliques to vote and revert for him. --Fones 20:34, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

This user is likely a sockpuppet of blocked User: Mistress Selina Kyle who has just been created to revert war. And probably a sockpuppet of another banned editor too. --a.n.o.n.y.m 20:44, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

• Blocked 24 hours, given that Yuber is currently on Probation, he shouldn't be engaging in edit wars, especially on topics that were a problem before.
• Its been pointed out that the last editor Yuber reverted is most likely a sockpuppet, however, that was his fifth revert and he did have the option of reporting that editor instead of reverting again. If anyone else disagrees, feel free to unblock. .:.Jareth.:. 20:57, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Comments:

• The above demonstrates a clear violation of the 3RR rule. In addition, the issue being discussed on the page is whether a specific user-created diagram violates the wiki No original research policy. I would be interested to hear some administrators weigh in on that subject, too. Thanks.--65.87.105.2 01:39, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

• Still waiting on action on this request more than 24 hours later. Admin attention is requested. The violation is clearcut. Thank you. --65.87.105.2 21:52, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

• 65.87.105.2 (talk · contribs) is a vandal, and has reverted the article himself at least a dozen times. Reverts done by Jackohare (talk · contribs) (and others) were only to revert said vandalism. --Thoric 22:23, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
  • The above is a bold faced lie from Thoric who authored the diagram in question. I have not reverted the article a dozen times, I have never committed a 3RR violation, and I have never committed an act of vandalism. If he has evidence of a 3RR violation, he should state it here. I deleted his subjective chart after discussing the issue on the talk page just as a good editor should. Thoric has been unable to cite the source for his subjective classification of various drugs in overlapping categories. I would appreciate it if a truly objective person would review the Psychoactive drug which lacks the sourcing and citation usually found in wiki articles of a scientific nature. Perhaps this is appropriate for an RFC.--65.87.105.2 23:21, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
    • When a single user stirs up a nest of hornets like 65.87.105.2 has, and his repeated vandalism to an article results in a few editors reverting his changes, along with a half dozen editors arguing against him on the article talk page, and he persists regardless of all kinds of source citing, then we have a problem. --Thoric 01:55, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Well, actually you did violate the 3RR rule on the exact same page -- I normally will not revert more than even one time, but you removed content without using the talk page, then reverted to your removal 4 additional times. I suppose it is wrong for me to revert more than policy dictates, but in this case it seemed like obvious vandalism I was reverting; An anonymous user was removing content without justification. --jackohare 01:09, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
      • Whoa, actually make that 12 times you've reverted your edits on Psychoactive drug (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), given that 65.87.105.2 and 24.55.228.56 are obviously the same people.

Here is evidence that the user is knowingly violating the 3RR block. Also see a related RfC which indicates that he has a history of breaking due process. Jbetak 19:42, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

I went through the history of the list and could not find four reverts on the same day in TWO instances. I emailed the admin about this. The ban was unjustified because no one informed me of a second 3RR violation if there even was a second. I was left to assume I had been banned twice by the first.

User:Dhimmi

Three revert rule violation on Bat Ye'or (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Dhimmi (talk · contribs):

Reported by: SlimVirgin 23:29, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Comments

Dhimmi (talk · contribs) has been reverting at Bat Ye'or for weeks, particularly in order to keep in anything negative in about her. He has been blocked three times for it. The reverts above are not to the same version or over the same issues, which is indicative of what he does: he reverts any change he disapproves of, and does so for days on end without ever compromising, until he gets his way, which he usually does because everyone else gets fed up and wanders off. He oftens labels his reverts as rvv, although they are not vandalism.

It's a single issue account, and has made only 45 edits in total, 38 to the main namespace, 37 of which are to Bat Ye'or, probably all of them reverts. He is almost certainly a sock puppet of another user, because he seems to know instantly when a change is made that he doesn't like. I would ask any admin looking at this to consider blocking the account indefinitely as a disruptive sock puppet or revert puppet, because his reverting means it's hard to get anything done on the article. SlimVirgin 23:29, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Not that it is true that I revert "in order to keep in anything negative in about her", but you know, if something is "negative" but factual then it certainly should be kept in! To remove it is vandalism. That's what CtlFn was doing. Reverting vandalism doesn't count in the 3RR. Saying that my edits are "probably all" reverts is patently untrue. My first edit was adding her real name, and I have done various copyediting since, as well as reverting vandalism, which is unfortunately frequent on that article, as some people want to remove anything "negative". Dhimmi 00:01, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

He has just admitted it's a sock puppet account. SlimVirgin 23:37, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Can anyone explain the WP:SOCK policy to SlimVirgin? She's constantly making insinuations about my being a sock puppet, as if that's something bad per se. As I explained her, I want to separate my contributions on Bat Ye'or from my other ones because of the inevitable conflict you get into on a topic like that, i.e. no matter how right you are, you get some mud stuck on you, and I don't want that on my main account. Dhimmi 00:01, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Ignoring the erroneous sockpuppetry allegations since having a sock isn't against the rules (though it is discourged) unless your using it to break rules and/or go around a block which doesn't seem to be the case here, I still think a 48 hour block is warranted for repeated edit warring and for gaming the rules in regards to reverts especially considering that this is not the first time that Dhimmi has had to be blocked for this. Jtkiefer ---- 00:13, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Dhimmi has created a sock puppet account for the purpose of violating 3RR, so that blocks for 3RR (three blocks so far, hopefully four after today) don't show up on his main account. That is a violation of WP:SOCK. SlimVirgin 00:14, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Actually if this account is being exclusively for edits on this article then yes it's actions are against the rules in itself but as long as the other account doesn't edit the article (or articles if that's the scope) then it's not a violation of WP:SOCK since in that case it wouldn't be a sockpuppet specifically for sidestepping the rules and even stretching the meaning of the rules quite a bit I don't see how you think that it would be otherwise, unless of course you have reason to believe that the other account(s) of his are also editing this article in an attempt to impose his POV. Jtkiefer ---- 00:29, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Jt, under circumventing policy, WP:SOCK says: "Policies apply per person, not per account. Policies such as 3RR are for each person's edits. Similarly, using a second account for policy violations will cause any penalties to also be applied to your main account." And "Users who are banned from editing or temporarily subject to a legitimate block may not use sock puppets to circumvent this. Evading a ban in this manner causes the timer on the ban to restart."

Dhimmi has admitted that it is not his main account. He has created it in order to violate 3RR at Bat Ye'or. He does this whenever he wants to, and he knows it won't be recorded in the block log of his main account, so he doesn't care. The violation isn't causing a penalty to be applied to his main account, because we don't know what the main account is, and any reputation Dhimmi has as a disruptive editor will also not apply to the main account. It seems to me that this makes the creation of Dhimmi a violation of policy. Multiple accounts are fine so long as they're not being used disruptively, not only if they're not being used on the same article. SlimVirgin 00:52, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

I find SlimVirgin's logic sensible and persuasive. Dhimmi should disclose who their main account is, so 3RR violations can be properly applied to both, or, if that isn't done, I agree with the logic that the sockpuppet account should be indefinitely blocked. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 01:40, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Seems like good enough logic however I think that Dhimmi should get a chance to respond to this and a chance to list his main account and some time for some more editors can get a chance to comment on this before anything is enacted. Blocking indefinitely should not be done lightly. Jtkiefer ---- 02:15, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

I completely agree. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 02:18, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

I've reblocked permanently, as the sockpuppet was created for the purpose of policy violation (in this case, 3RR and revert-warring). I've also warned the editor that if he creates another sockpuppet for the purpose of policy violation, I'll block the main account as well. Jayjg 16:58, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

• Two hours ago I started this article. In the space of two hours, Petral has added a POV tag and a deletion tag. From the beginning (even before the deletion tag) I told Petral that this article is new, and the name may change, and asked him for suggestions After Petral added the deletion tag, I attempted to work on the article some more, to make it less NPOV and more encyclopedic. I changed the name in the hopes that it would explain the article better and give it less chance for deletion, I added the new link to the Articles_for_deletion which Petral deleted

MSK is about a 5-day-old account that shows an amazing amount of Misplaced Pages knowledge.

Concerted 3RR violation at Hare Krishna and Gouranga

Three revert rule violation on Hare Krishna (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Several IPs working in concert have reverted honest attempts to improve the article four times.

• Version reverted to: 15:18, December 21, 2005
• 1st revert: 10:49, December 22, 2005
• 2nd revert: 16:02, December 22, 2005
• 3rd revert: 19:11, December 22, 2005
• 4th revert: 08:37, December 23, 2005

IPs involved so far are 81.148.63.74 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), 81.133.8.220 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), 86.136.90.109 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), and 81.139.7.159 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log). The same also happens at Gouranga. All IPs seeem to by dynamic British Telecom IPs. Don't know if we could or should block, but semi-protecting the article might help. I don't want to do it myself, since I've made an attempt to find a "middle-ground" version, which was promptly reverted in the last revert given above, and could thus be considered "involved".

The IPs' reverts have been undone by several editors so far.

  I reverted both pages and was reverted over. WP:SEMI is primarily to be used to combat vandalism on a very temporary basis. Since this seems to be a content dispute, page protection is the route to go. Can someone protect the pages as I am now a party to the content dispute due to my reverts.--MONGO 09:38, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

• Anon here: my understanding is that being anonymous has nothing at all to do with being able to edit artciles. Further, it's clear that rather than simply put down an opposing viewpoint on a piece of art, they would rather just delete mine. Seems hardly fair as noneof edits deletes any part of the existing article. I have asked for arbritration on this issue and will abide by it and have asked that the commentary (5 lines) stand until that time. (previous comment by 68.161.86.144 (talk · contribs)

• According to the report above by him he claims to have only reverted twice - is lying to admins deliberately against rules too?

His last revert breaking 3RR should be reverted back.

• Um, take a look, only the last three are actual reverts, and third only after the 3RR violator was blocked. Themindset 21:05, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

• I'd also ask the administrators to note that this seems to be User:Mistress Selina Kyle retaliating for my reporting his/her 3RR violation. I ask you to carefully look at the reverts listed, and you will see that 1st revert and Previous version reverted to are have no relation to the 2nd to 4th reverts. Themindset 21:06, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
  • 1-This is not her, no.
  • 2-That the first revert was reverting a different edit is a moot point, you still made more than 3 reverts (4) and so broke 3RR. 85.12.17.26 21:13, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

• • Anyone can see, looking at those difference links that they were in fact reverts.
    • 1 - Reverting the revert back that included the image
    • 2 - Reverting see also links and external links and other wiki links
    • 3 - Reverting see also links and external links and other wiki links
    • 4 - Reverting see also links and external links and other wiki links

• • It's sad that these things seem to be allowed to slip by unless brought attention to by an outsider. Whether the person you are arguing with also broke 3RR has nothing to do with it, you just proved yourself to be just as bad by also ignoring 3RR in the name of an edit war. 85.12.17.26 21:08, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

• Cute. So you've never contributed before, how did you stumble upon this situation? Themindset 21:19, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

• • I already replied to you on the admin Dan100's user page. I'm not going to argue any further, the case being irrelevant anyway and seems to be nothing more than an attempt to change the subject and weasel out of a block - The fact remains you broke 3RR with 4 edits just like Selina whom is now blocked. 85.12.17.26 21:25, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

• So a brand new contributor... and their very first contribution is a 3RR violation notice? Coupled with a direct plea to an administrator for help? Wouldn't that seem slightly fishey? Themindset 21:34, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Please let me work through this evidence and discussion. BTW, I'd like to say that the IP is unlikely to be a blocked user - there is a system called the "autoblocker" that prevents blocked users from just logging out to continue to edit. Dan100 (Talk) 21:39, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

• OK, there have only been three actual reverts, so the 3RR has not been broken. Dan100 (Talk) 21:40, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

• • The first edit listed above IS a revert (as well as 2nd 3rd and 4th, based on several previous reverts in an edit war for keeping/removing the image:

• • • 1st revert by User Mindset:
      • Previous revert before that
      • (and on, and on, and on)

• • So yeah, there were 4 reverts made 85.12.17.26 22:02, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

There needs to be four identical reverts made in one single 24 hour period for a block to be considered. Clearly, this has not happened, so there will be no block. Please move on, and consider the guidance of WP:ROWN. Dan100 (Talk) 23:55, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

However, it should still be counted as a complete revert as per Policy which says:

Reverting doesn't only mean taking a previous version from history and editing that. It means undoing the actions of another editor, and may include edits that mostly undo a previous edit and also add something new, page moving, admin actions such as protection, etc. Use common sense.

• • I've blocked him for a month. This might be excessive, but (a) he's trying to game 3RR by using sockpuppets, and (b) he was already blocked for a week for this exact same behavior before, so it's clear that he has had ample and adequate warning, and simply refuses to reform. If any admin thinks I am overdoing it, I will not complain at all if the block is reduced. It might, however, be time to take this to RFArb, since ad hoc enforcement is having no apparently effect.

Doom127 is NOT engaging in a revert war. He is reverting VANDALISM. By YOU. You're blanking huge sections of text without referring to the talk page. You created your account today, and already you've continued your pointless vendetta against him because everyone outed you on the Talk:Ken Kutaragi page. You're an obvious sockpuppet of Brazil4Linux, and you're not fooling anyone.

Do not use the word "vandalism" lightly. Doom127 is not reverting vandalism and ForeverWatch is not engaging in it. — Phil Welch Katefan's ridiculous poll 18:46, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Brazil4Linux (or whatever sockpuppet he's using this week) has a history of blanking text that portrays Sony, its executives, or the Sony Playstation in any sort of negative light. Even if the text in question is backed up by citations (listed in the article) from reputable sources. That may not be strictly vandalism as defined by Misplaced Pages policies, but it approaches vandalism asymptotically. Ξxtreme Unction|_{yakkity yak} 22:11, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't use the word "vandalism" lightly. To me, blanking 3 paragraphs for no reason other than the fact that you dislike their content counts as "vandalism." Doing this repeatedly without referring to the talk page and without paying attention to the overwhelming majority of editors asking you to stop is "obnoxious." Stalking another user like Doom127, vandalizing his user page (and THAT was undeniable vandalism , , , and ) and wasting lots of his time is "malicious." And creating half a dozen sockpuppets to carry out your attacks is "deceptive." Please refer to the Talk:Ken Kutaragi page to see this user's trackrecord. Two sockpuppets already blocked, and several more strongly alleged.

Yet another example of someone trying to change the rules... Codex here made the same change repeatedly, which I reverted not violating 3RR and then was assisted by other editors who also agreed that he was clearly out of line, but then when he no longer could make the same change anymore without violating 3RR himself, he purposefully switched to some other edits not approved by consensus solely to try to get the last word in. He thought he could game the system and lost. DreamGuy 05:13, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Whoah - I'm not trying to change the rules at all... The rules say you can't revert to the same identical thing eight times in one hour, even if your name is DreamGuy... Notice that my first three edits were to delete a dubious statement, then I switched to adding a disputed tag... How is that "gaming the system?" Your protectiveness over this article is outright crossing the 3RR line, which I did not do. You seem to think your opinion is so sacrosanct that it justifies reverting to your version eight times in one hour. This is indeed a violation, and I invite anyone to investigate to their heart's content. ፈቃደ (ውይይት) 23:32, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

• Reverts 1, 2, 3 and 5 all reinstate the same few entries. There is a slight difference in 4, but that was because I modified the page along the way, but the same entries are still reinstated. If these are not considered reverts, then I dont see why I was blocked in the above instance, coz I did not revert to the same version on more than 3 occasions either. Ditto for many other nominations in this list.--Huaiwei 16:47, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

• "Reverting doesn't only mean taking a previous version from history and editing that. It means undoing the actions of another editor, and may include edits that mostly undo a previous edit and also add something new, page moving, admin actions such as protection, etc. Use common sense." —BorgHunter (talk) 16:51, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Actually, the rule states:

If you violate the three-revert rule, after your fourth revert in 24 hours, sysops may block you for up to 24 hours. In the cases where multiple parties violate the rule, administrators should treat all sides equally.

A revert is defined as:

A revert is to undo all changes made after a certain time in the past. The result will be that the page becomes identical to how it used to be at some previous time.

I think Yuje has undone all changes made by someone else more that three times within the same 24 hour period, so I have blocked him for 12 hours as he did not revert to the same version and according to WP:3RR 24 hours is the maximum. Izehar 17:01, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

I understand that this may be a controversial move, so feel free to unblock him if you think it appropriate: link. Izehar 17:03, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

If "in the cases where multiple parties violate the rule, administrators should treat all sides equally", then I would question the rationale of blocking him for 12 hours compared to the full 24 hours I was blocked for. If I may refer to the nomination made against me previously, links pointing to reverts 2 and 3 were actually refering to the same one revert (just refer to the version numbers), so in actual fact, only three reverts were cited. In addition, revert 4 cited by him does not revert to the same version as the previous revertions too. Yet I was blocked for a full 24 hours despite the sloppy nomination, when the nominator himself is equally guilty of 3RR violation, if not more so. I do hope for a fair judgement here, in what I feel should have resulted in the same 24 hour block for both parties in the initial nomination made against me by Yuje.--Huaiwei 20:22, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

You violated the rule twice. Look at the reason I gave for your block: link. Izehar 20:26, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

If you may refer to the above, I did not violate the 3RR rule going by your definition of what 3RR is. And if you may apply the same theory to the first nomination by Monicasdude, I have not violated the 3RR either, since practically all reversions mentioned points to a different version. In addition, I have proven that the first reversion cited was actually the "version reverted to", and not a reversion in itself, hence resulting in only three reverts, not four. Other admins who evaluated the case decided not to press the 3RR charge against me after looking at the overall situation at hand. Surely this should say something about the perculiarities between each case.--Huaiwei 20:33, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Indeed, but then you decided to edit-war on another article as well. As both reports on you were rather watery, if only one had been filed, it would have been ignored. As you are obviously a chronic edit warrior, two 12 hour blocks (one for each watery report) seem to do. Both your violations are the same as Yuje's one violation. Izehar 20:43, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

If being a chronic edit warrior is your justification for a 24 hour block, than I suppose the long-term edit warring I have had with Yuje in that same article for months on end (the evidence is all in the article's history) is not considered chronic on the part of both parties? The simple reason why I did not come forth to dispute my 3RR block at first, was that I do accept the fact that my revert warring was wrong, whether there were more than 3 reverts or not, since gaming the system is also justification for a block. However, I am greatly upset over what I feel was a lack of justice in the way the punishment was metted out, and that it actually took my counter-nomination before anything was done. Are nominators somehow given the benefit of the doubt, while their nominees are automatically half-gulty and easily thrown into the dungeon even with flimsy evidence? It is not my responsibility that both their nominations were watery. That they choose to nominate despite having weak justifications, and that both are also clearly revert warring and gaming the rules, demonstrates to me the lack of justice in this case overall. My primary concern is not to absolve myself of blame. I accept my violation of the 3RR. But I find it difficult to sit down knowing others who are equally guilty can have a lighter sentencing or even go scot-free.--Huaiwei 20:59, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

You got off far too lightly. I think Yuje's actions were justified as reversions of simple vandalism, since you not only repeatedly deleted sourced text without explanation but also used misleading edit summaries to cover up your reversions You also edit warred pages related to China in violation of an ArbComm ruling. Monicasdude 21:53, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

A 68 kilobytes long talk page exists for National dish, most of which centers over the issue of these contested entries. I dont think that would be possible if I "repeatedly deleted sourced text without explanation" and didnt bother to discuss them. Please explain what "misleading edit summaries" refers to. How where you mislead? I may have edit warred pages related to China in violation of an ArbComm ruling, but does it mean others dont have to adhere to the 3RR rule?--Huaiwei 14:46, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

The entries were included with the (disputed — see talk page) tag ({{dubious}}), but they were removed altogether with the tag by Huaiwei, although he has been the only person to object the inclusion of those entries. — Instantnood 18:23, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

I have difficulty understanding what you are trying to say here. Seriously.--Huaiwei 03:34, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

From talk:national dish, one can tell User:Yuje was indeed acting in good faith to halt the POV-pushing edits by User:Huaiwei. Huaiwei had plenty of time (~12 hours) to explain his position, or/and to nominate Yuje (no matter as a revenge or not) after being nominated and before being blocked. — Instantnood 21:32, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

A highly POVed comment by instantnood when describing yuje's actions in the said talk page, which is more then expected considering they happen to share the same opinions, so I am not too sure if any nuetral reviewer is going to take his first sentence seriously without first reviewing the entire debate himself. As for the "time I have to explain my position", how then do you explain Yuje's lack in initiative to explain his reversion in the past 24 hours. May I further remind that the last revert happens to be executed by him, so who needs to explain the current version of the article? The lack of an explaination, btw, probably gives me more than enough reason to revert it back.--Huaiwei 14:46, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Yuje is not a frequent editor as you do. Don't think he's lacking initiative to explain, for he has already done at the talk page, and was actually acting to halt POV-pushing edits that is getting close to vandalism. — Instantnood 18:23, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

How does the frequency of one's contribution to wikipedia has any bearing in this 3RR violation? Have I not done all the things you said he did, for I would consider your entries as POV-pushing as well, and I too am acting to halt them? Vandalism? Show how they are vandalism based on wikipedia guidelines. Disagreeing in a content dispute and calling the opponent's enforcement of his viewpoint as an act of vandalism demonstrates your gaming of wikipolicies and your unwillingness to negotiate and come to a resolution. Do you have any evidence to suggest the same in actions on my part?--Huaiwei 03:34, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Comments:

• Initially started as this edit, where he removed two paragraphs with little explanation. He had never edited the article before (one that's frequently vandalised), so I assumed he was just blanking the page, so I reverted. I attempted one rewrite to try and include his point of view (which he refused to explain in detail), and he removed it. Attempts to dialogue the issue on Talk were largely unsuccessful, as he argued points not made in the article. I'll concede that I may have also violated 3RR in my actions. -- ChrisB 10:22, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

• Indeed, you did. I've blocked you for 12 hours. Deathrocker has a history of revert-warring and refusing to discuss edits, and was explicitly warned about the 3RR in the past, so I've blocked him/her for 24 hours. —David Levy 14:46, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Comments:

• User is reverting move of article from economic fascism to economics of fascism against consensus on talk page. Also note reversions on economics of fascism.
• And he's made a horrible mess of it by moving the article page (by cut and paste?) but not the talkpage. Please, let him cool off for a day and think about whether it's really worth fighting so hard over the title of an article. James James 04:52, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
• These two guys are redirecting the article knowing full well that there is no conensus to do so. It amounts to vandalism. The 3RR doesn't apply to this kind of thing. (Also, check them out as they're doing more than 3RR as well). RJII 05:16, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
• We have demonstrated to RJII that there is consensus, asked him not to revert to his fork and in my case I have not personally breached the three-revert rule. I rarely do more than one revert, except in clear cases of vandalism, and I really take it amiss that this guy is calling me a vandal and trying to game the system by claiming that he can revert an edit as many times as he likes by doing so. James James 05:22, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
• Indeed, the consensus is fairly obvious from the talk page, and neither James James nor I have violated the 3RR rule. Also note that we are not redirecting with loss of information, but moving the article to a more appropriate title according to consensus. RJII is literally the only person who feels the article should continue as it is, and has engaged other edit wars about it, notably with User:Firebug, resulting in an ArbCom case. I believe he feels that he owns this article and should be able to do as he likes with it. TomTheHand 05:28, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

I've demonstrated to both of the disruptive editors that there was no conensus, as revealed in the vote. Also, others besides me have put the article back when others have tried to redirect without a conensus. This is vandalism on their part. They should follow normal Misplaced Pages policy and try to get a consensus. Adminstrator Jtkiefer warned a couple other users a couple weeks ago for trying to redirect the article without a conensus. For example, "172, also if you would like the article to be redirected attempt to get a consensus on the talk page to do so. I like all people support being bold in certain situations but doing so without a consensus is against policy and is going to just lead to an edit war which should be avoided if at all possible. JtkieferT | C | @ ---- 20:56, 8 December 2005 (UTC)" This is my understanding of Misplaced Pages policy as well, so I'm just reverting the violation. RJII 05:31, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Can someone just block the guy so we can get on with editing? He's reverted eight, nine times now. As Tom says, he thinks he owns the article. No one has redirected the article! We've renamed it to a more suitable title with strong consensus on the talkpage. The article is still there. James James 05:34, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

You should be blocked. YOu're violating Misplaced Pages policy. I don't think I own the article. Edit if you wish, but don't redirect it without a conensus. That's too drastic of a move to make without a consensus. RJII 05:37, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Admin response

• I've protected the articles and am settling for warning RJII and James James. Discuss this on the talk page of the article(s?), please. On another note, the status of this article is an absolute mess...there's a redirect on a talk page, one article in two separate locations...egad. —BorgHunter (talk) 05:41, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
• My (simltaneous) conclusion was that RJII did violate 3RR, because there does seem to be a consensus to move, but I also decided to warn and not block. I think BorgHunters suggestion for further discussion is an excellent idea. -- SCZenz 05:48, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

What exactly are you warning me for? I moved the page in line with consensus, discussed it with RJII, asked him not to continue reverting when he had breached policy, and supported the call to have him blocked for breaching policy here. The article is a mess because RJII c&p'd it back to the old title.

Please unprotect the article and block the user as requested. He has reverted many times more than three, and been warned and asked to stop.James James 05:48, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

What's the use of doing the right thing, working with consensus and sticking within policy when admins don't support that? The guy reverted nine times, and now his version is the protected one because he broke the 3RR and I wouldn't'. It's now impossible for anyone to edit the article because he knows that all he needs to do is revert it nine times and accuse everyone who disagrees with him of being a "vandal" and voila! he gets to own the article. James James 06:03, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

The current situation is not permanent—article protection virtually never is. Certainly the article won't be permanently forked. But an ugly edit war shouldn't be solved by admins ruling in favor of one side or the other. Anyway, I'll look at the talk page more tomorrow, and maybe unprotect based on that. -- SCZenz 06:08, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Please read the protection policy. I'm not endorsing anything or anyone. I'm not letting him "own" anything. Please understand also that I'm trying to be as fair and impartial as I can be here, as I can under Misplaced Pages policy. I have no opinion as to which version of what is better...to be honest, I haven't looked at the content of the reverts and such and make no judgment on them, for NPOV or anything else. What I see is a conflict between one user and what seems to be a group of at least two. I can't take sides. (Well, I could, but then my protection and such would be against policy.) I could block RJII for 24 hours under policy, as he did violate the 3RR, but I chose not to. I did protect the article(s), which were undergoing a heated edit war. Finally, I suggest (again) either mediation (if that step has not been undertaken) or arbitration. Unprotecting the article would be letting the edit war continue anew, after 24 hours (the maximum block admins can give under the 3RR). I think my actions are entirely appropriate, and fairest to all users involved. —BorgHunter (talk) 06:09, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Please stop talking down to me. I have read the 3RR policy several times. That's why I'm here, asking for action against someone who has breached it. If he continued reverting after 24 hours, then protect the page, why not? I'm not asking for you to resolve an edit war. This page is for editors to request action against other editors who revert more than three times. We didn't ask for the page to be protected and don't want that. We want the editor who is in breach of policy to be blocked, so that he can think about whether he can edit within the policy. You are supposed to take sides! The idea of this page is for the side that has not breached the 3RR to ask for action against the side that has. What's the point of the page otherwise?

Please block RJII and unprotect the page, so that editors who are working within the policies of Misplaced Pages can continue to work on it. James James 06:25, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Could a more experienced editor please look at this? The admin who has acted here won't block the guy who's in clear breach of the 3RR because he/she doesn't want to "take sides". Can someone who doesn't mind taking the side of Misplaced Pages's policies please take a look? This admin has even protected the fork as well as the page, without reading the discussion and without reviewing the edits! Could someone please unprotect both pages, so that we can fix that? James James 06:29, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Another admin came to the same conclusion at about the same time I did, that is, to warn and not block RJII. (He does disagree about the protection, which I am having second thoughts about and do welcome other admins to comment on. I've already left a note on User:Woohookitty's talk page.) I think the issue of whether or not to block RJII for the moment is more or less settled. The page protection is under dispute, and again, I'm having second thoughts about it. —BorgHunter (talk) 06:33, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

He's been warned. I warned him more than once. He was well aware that he was breaking the policy. The issue of whether to block him is absolutely not settled. You're basically saying that there's no point asking for action here because you won't take any. That's surely not right. Editors rely on admins backing up the policies of Misplaced Pages. If you let an edit-warrior make a POV fork against consensus, and then back it up with multiple reverts, and won't give him a day off for doing it, it tells the rest of us, don't bother with the policy, you won't get help if you're up against serial reverters, no matter how egregious they are. As for warning him, unprotect the article, let it be reverted and watch him do it again! He'll just call it vandalism and expect to get away with it again. James James 06:39, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm inclined to agree with James here. RJII reverted six times, and I know he has behaved like this elsewhere, and has been blocked twice for it. Protecting rather than blocking seems unfair to the other editors. SlimVirgin 06:40, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Disregard this editor. Slimvirgin is baised against RJII because he took part in an arbitration case against RJII, based in lies, that failed. RJII 06:46, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm not biased against you, RJII; it's just that I know you make a habit of this. SlimVirgin 07:02, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

I've now unprotected the articles. I'm sorry, it was probably a bad idea to begin with. Apologies to James's side, and many compliments from me regarding your behavior so far, especially from TomTheHand, who was been incredibly civil with me from the start. I guess I should have thought that one through more. —BorgHunter (talk) 06:43, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Now he is working on the fork he created and was able to establish by reverting way in excess of policy. "Just protect all the pages and let them talk it out" just doesn't work as a response to a violation of 3RR. Very disappointed. SlimVirgin, could I ask you to either block the user in question or to revert the page to the redirect, so that he can acquire himself another revert in excess of the policy, which might perhaps stir some of your peers into taking action? James James 07:03, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

James, I'll take a look, but in general, I prefer not to interfere with other admins' decisions. However, I hope Borghunter will reconsider. SlimVirgin 07:06, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

I did unprotect the articles. I don't support blocking him unless he does more uncouth things; he seems to be leaving the one article alone and is just editing "his." That would be against the spirit of what I told him on his talk page, which was to shape up and quit violating the 3RR. Besides, what would be the point? If he isn't doing anything bad or untoward now, why goad him into doing so? We want people to be positive contributors, not prod them into getting themselves blocked. —BorgHunter (talk) 07:08, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Breaking 3RR on TWO articles and working on a POV fork that he created by breaking it are not "uncouth" enough for you? There is no his, by the way. It's because he tried to own the article in the first place that we asked for your help!James James 07:18, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Borg, as you were the original admin who dealt with this, I'll defer to your judgment and won't block him. I don't agree with your decision, however, because RJ11 is a serial reverter who rarely gives up once he gets an idea fixed in his mind; he knows about 3RR; has been warned many times; and has been blocked twice for it. Anyway, I've reverted to the redirect so at least he doesn't benefit from the violation, and I've protected it so he can't revert back and continue with his fork creation. SlimVirgin 07:15, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, SlimVirgin. It would probably be better not to protect it and let him revert it again. Perhaps BorgHunter would then realise that blocking him would be a good idea. James James 07:18, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

The goal is not to goad people into getting themselves blocked, it's to help people be constructive editors as best we can. -- SCZenz 07:21, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Allowing an editor to revert nine times to support a POV fork probably isn't the best way to make a constructive editor out of them. The only reason he's not reverting the page again is that it's protected. He's expressed no interest in working collaboratively, and is looking forward to restoring his fork. James James 07:50, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

(after edit conflict) I concur with and support SlimVirgin's action on this. My judgement is there was a pretty clear consensus on moving the page, and that we shouldn't allow positive results for a blatant 3RR violation. -- SCZenz 07:21, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

So what? My point is, he's not harming anything right now by not being blocked. Blocking him now would accomplish nothing except revenge and punishment, and neither of those things are what blocking is for. I have his contributions page up and am keeping an eye out for anything bad, and I suspect I'm not the only one. I'm sure he knows that a few admins are watching him, as well. That's just as effective as a block, and it allows him more freedom, as well. (A good thing.) Again, blocking now would accomplish nothing. —BorgHunter (talk) 07:22, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

I agree with that too. -- SCZenz 07:28, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Well, I don't. The only reason he is not reverting again is that the page is protected. He will revert to his POV fork as soon as it isn't. He's said so on the talkpage. What you've got across to him is that he can revert with impunity to get his way because a/ other editors will not break the 3RR and b/ you won't act to protect other editors and allow them to work. Luckily, SlimVirgin was willing to do something to help out, but frankly, if someone breaches the 3RR so badly, we expect action. Otherwise, what's the point of reporting it here? I haven't at any point asked for punitive action, merely protective action to allow other editors to work on the page without constantly being reverted. The same outcome was achieved by protecting the fork on a redirect, but as soon as the protection is lifted, wham, you're on again. James James 07:50, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

James, you just violated the 3RR rule on economics of fascism. And, damned right I'm going to restore economic fascism when I can do so without breaking the 3RR rule. The only reason I broke it is because I thought it didn't apply to fixing an article that was moved without consensus --so it was done in good faith. It's within my rights to move the article back. If you want to move an article you should get a consensus first. All you're doing is causing an unnecessary edit war. RJII 08:08, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

This is ridiculous. Now the guy is rewriting the article to match his fork, so he's reverting in stages instead of all at once. I've tried to get him to collaborate, and I've outlined some of the problems as a beginning. But all he's doing is reverting back to his POV version.

Thanks for your help. It's impossible to work on the article. I'm just going to leave it to RJII, and work on something else. James James 08:08, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Borg, you said there was no point in blocking RJ because he had stopped, but he hasn't. He's continuing to impose his changes, reverting in stages so it's harder to accuse him of 3RR, which is what he often does. SlimVirgin 08:15, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Both of you are full of it. I am doing no such thing. I request that the Adminstrator see for himself that these claims are false. And the "fork" is the economics of fascism article, not the economic fascism one. You guys are really stooping low to make such claims. The moved article was already IDENTICAL to the prior titled article so it makes absolutely no sense to say I'm reverting to that version in stages! RJII 08:16, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

I have blocked RJII for 24 hours for (severe) violation of 3RR, disruption (forking article rather than discuss issue of what the title should be) and associated personal attacks (notably, describing other editors' actions in a content dispute as vandalism). In an editor of his experience, his behaviour is simply unacceptable. Rd232 11:47, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

So ultimately he created another title, the same as previous but with the word "political" added in. He didn't discuss his problem with the new title. He circumvented discussion instead. I would like the article moved back to economics of fascism and RJII to be censured for circumventing discussion and refusing to collaborate. I for one refuse to work any more on the article. It's incredibly POV and there's no hope of making it NPOV when an editor is permitted to run wild, breaking the rules and then perpetuating the same sterile move war by other means. James James 05:03, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm going to block him for 48 hours, and if he keeps at it, he can get another, per WP:BP, Disruption. Any further incidents regarding this user, please report on WP:ANI. —BorgHunter (talk) 05:13, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

I appreciate it. Would you be willing to do the complicated move to return the page to the previous title? The end result ought to be a revert to the version he forked from, but with his work not lost, even if not included. James James 05:16, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Ghir reverted the article on Khotyn by calling it "shameless irrendetism". He removed the part where it said that the Romanians of Bukovina voted to reunite with Romania. I tried to revert back, but he was persistent enough to revert it back three times in a matter of 17-minutes. On the talkpage, where I asked him why he reverted, he insulted me by saying that this is about "Romanian Imperialism" and he also said that "this is not a cheap Romanian prop booklet but an international encyclopedia". When I said that he is being insultive, he called me a troll and threatened to have me reported. --Anittas 11:33, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

• Revert 3: 11:24, December 29, 2005 Ghirlandajo (go to the talk page and provide your refs; if you persist in blatant reverting, you will be reported)

There is not POV in saying that the Rmoanians of Bukovina voted to unite with Romania. This is a fact. I posted the link to the actual declaration, word by word. Ghir was the one who started to revert back and he violated the 3RR. And why is he calling me a troll? Who was the one who made the insulting? --Anittas 11:48, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Ronline, I repeat it for the umpteenths time. Either you Romanian admins moderate your trolls, or I will have to moderate them myself. Removing my comments from a notice board with an edit summary "we don't need your comments here" is simply unacceptable. By conniving Anittas' michief, you spur him to further trolling. --Ghirla | talk 09:31, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Ghirla - I reverted Anittas' removal of your comment. I do not agree with it, sine it goes against freedom of speech. Yes, removal is unacceptable, and yes, that removal was reverted. However, other than that, I don't think Anittas has acted like a troll at the Khotyn dispute, which is why I think some of your edit summaries and comments weren't warranted. The Khotyn case was a pure content dispute, nothing more. So, no, I'm not spurring anyone on or connving mischief, I'm simply being fair. Ronline ✉ 10:11, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

He made a threat and was reverted by Vasile. One way or another, he was very rude, and was reverted. What's the problem? --Anittas 10:17, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

It sure is acceptable, because we don't need your comments. You have made enough insults for us to start a RfC on you. If you persist with your abuse, you might get your wish. --Anittas 09:34, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Izehar, please note that "both" and "them" in your statement do not apply here. I reverted 3 times and not 4. Anittas reverted 4 times and this is a crystal clear 3RR violation strictly or loosely speaking. These four are 100% reverts with no changes between versions whatsoever:

• 1st revert December 29 0:15
• 2nd revert December 29 0:41
• 3rd revert December 29, 11.18
• 4th revert December 29, 11.20

This was followed by [http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Misplaced Pages:Romanian_Wikipedians'_notice_board&oldid=33225166#Conflict_cu_Rusii this messages] at Romanian board and translation of some of this is available here. The rest is sometimes worse. Finally, take a look at the repeated removal of the statement of the same board , and you will get the picture.

In any case, there is a clear 3RR violation followed by offensive postings to the notice boards while there is no violation on my part. Whether you choose to let Anittas get away with this or not, I just wanted to set the record straight on this. --Ghirla | talk 09:21, 30 December 2005 (UTC) You violated the 3RR, too. --Anittas 09:34, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Actually, only you violated the 3RR on this article. Ghirlandajo violated the 3RR on a different article, so I've blocked both of you for 24 hours. —David Levy 18:14, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

'Comments: These are "complex" reverts because I was actually editing the article instead of just revert warring. Pay attention to the wikilink to China/mainland China, that's the revert.

• Can I also get a page ban against 'nood on this article? SchmuckyTheCat 17:52, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

• This is messy business (gaming the system). What he has done may qualify as a Misplaced Pages:Revert in the sense that he has undone someone's edit. I am reluctant to block him and it will become more clear why if one were to compare all his versions. I have protected that article though. As both parties are obviously interested in discussing on the talk page (from their edit summaries), this should agree with them. Also, only Arbitration can issue a page ban I'm afraid. My advice to you though, is not to go there. Izehar 18:04, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm not gaming, look at my edits. I actually went out and researched the types of trains to add something to the article. And, Instantnood (and myself) are already under probation. Any admin can page ban either of us from Chinese related articles. SchmuckyTheCat 18:10, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

I am not too sure if this is the right course of action to take. So for someone violating the 3RR, the page gets protected and everyone gets "punished" by being barred from editing the said article? I further note that it was the 3RR violator's preferred version which was protected. If the page can only be unprotected when a resolution materialises, than the violator would probably think it sensible not to negotiate.--Huaiwei 19:35, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

I think it is best to negotiate. I strongly advise you to consider mediation - if this behaviour has been subject to restrictions before, then edit-warring will only make things worse. I know I have protected the page in m:the wrong version from certain editors' point of view, but Instantnood has contacted me and asked me to unprotect it. As no one wants the article protecting, I'll unprotect it, but no more edit-warring. Izehar 19:43, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

User:SchmuckyTheCat had in fact been gaming right after the article was unprotected, by trying something different from his previous reverts . It was not a good sign to show he wanted to negotiate. — Instantnood 09:23, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Update: I have blocked Instantnood for 24 hours - after I unprotected the page, he continued the edit war and did violate the 3RR. Izehar 20:15, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

here for an example of Yuber's recent conduct - Yuber (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is following me around reverting every change I make on Islam-related articles, along with his friends - he's enlisting the help of other editors to create revert wars.

He's been consistently removing any links to articles or sites that contain criticism of Islam and using his personal clique of other editors to revert war too: I've noticed all the people reverting are Muslim, it's getting to be really quite an epidemic..

Perfectly NPOV, sourced material and links to relevant articles is being routinely censored out of Islam-related articles by Yuber, Anonymous editor (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), Irishpunktom (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and co who are trying to bully anyone opposing their point of view out of editing.. --20:41, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

I suggest that you read the three-revert rule. You're prohibited from reverting edits made to the same page more than three times in a 24-hour period; these needn't be the same edits. And don't think that a few minor variations (dispute tags, etc.) make a difference.

1, 2, 3, 4. Blocked for 24 hours. —David Levy 18:14, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

For evading the 24-hour block, blocked for 48 hours. —David Levy 22:02, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

I have reset the block to 24 hours. No policy provides that a block evasion results in doubling of the block. Izehar 22:20, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

I did not double the 3RR block. Block evasion is a type of disruption (itself a blockable offense), so I combined the original 24-hour block with a separate 24-hour block for that additional infraction. This is well within the range of administrative discretion, and you should not have reset the block without allowing me to explain my rationale. —David Levy 22:39, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Well, I'm afraid I have seen no precedents for that kind of thing (has it ever happened before? 3RR blocks are violated every day) and if you are considering resetting it, please leave a notice on WP:AN/I - that is where discretionary actions are usually reported for review by more experienced users.

Natalina's patience with users like Gibby is remarkable. While he has insulted and ridiculed her, she has offered to go through mediation with him. However, she should not have to tolerate the abuse; and I will not tolerate it. There is no reason to tolerate a user who posts obscene X-rated comments, which are grapic enough to be illegal to utter in the presence of polite company and minors (such as Natalina, who says she is 15 on her user page) in some corners of the world:

• Wiki needs dicks, it needs dicks to fuck the assholes (if you saw Team America you know what I'm talking about) who keep deleting information because they dont like what is presented but offer no clear or well reasoned arguement as why it should be offered...that means stoping spinmasters like yourself and 172 who make sure carefully edited material makes it through.(Gibby 06:56, 31 December 2005 (UTC))

Gibby is suggesting the possibility of him coming to my place of work (thankfully I am anonymous!) to disrupt an academic environment, just as he is disrupting Misplaced Pages:

Comments: In each of these four edits user:Vasile deleted a well referenced paragraph staring from:

• "Since Romania's gaining of independence in 1878, it became...".

In some of the edits above this was supplied by some other edits to the article while others were just 100% reverts. However, each of these edits should be counted as a revert with respect to the 3RR rule because the policy clearly says:

Reverting doesn't only mean taking a previous version from history and editing that. It means undoing the actions of another editor, and may include edits that mostly undo a previous edit and also add something new, page moving, admin actions such as protection, etc. Use common sense.

In this sense each of these edits removed an exact same paragraph from the article and the actions of the user constitutes a clear 3RR violation. --Irpen 20:21, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

If 3RR allows such superior editors as User:Mikkalai - one of the top ten most active wikipedians ever - to be blocked from editing, this rule should be rephrased speedily. The only side that will be punished and will lose in the case of blocking valuable contributors is Misplaced Pages itself. As long as the established wikipedians are treated in the same way as prankster trollish anons, Misplaced Pages will keep losing its best editors. I will not be surprised at all if in a few months the only contributors to the Eastern European topics will remain a couple of nationalist archtrolls like Bonaparte (the one who nominated Ronline to adminship BTW). --Ghirla | talk 19:49, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Comments: SavvyCat was warned in advance that another revert would place her in violation of WP:3RR - she immediately reverted anyway. --Krich (talk) 00:56, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Krich, has she ever had 3RR explained to her, and was she warned anywhere apart from the edit summary that she was about to violate it? Also, her first edit was a revert to a previous version only in the sense that, in removing something, she by definition reverted to a previous version (one that didn't contain the thing she removed). For both those reasons, I'm inclined to warn her for this only, unless you can show me that she's been warned already. SlimVirgin 04:25, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

I've left a warning and I've reverted to the pre-3RR version. Hopefully that'll be enough. SlimVirgin 04:35, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

No, you are correct, she was not warned in advance, prior to this incident, about 3RR. I did warn her in my edit summary that if she reverted again, she would be in violation - I even informed her I would be in the same boat, and thus wouldn't revert again. I'm not sure how to answer this concern, in that SavvyCat has shown no interest in learning or abiding by Misplaced Pages rules, processes, or conventions since she arrived, despite several attempts to rationally and politely discuss it with her. She can't be warned in advance of every possible violation she could commit, and doesn't appear to care to listen regarding the things she has been warned about. I understand her emotions are high on this subject, but that's also why it's a bit hard to deal with her.

In answer to your other comment, I'll note that the item she started reverting today was an item that she has removed as part of several large deletions a few days ago. Most of her deletions of citations have not been challenged. When this one item was replaced today, with an explanation in the edit summary (as well as previous discussion on the talk page), she simply reverted my edits without comment, and then three more times in quick succession. In ordinary circumstances I might have cut more slack, but she's not even attempting to follow a civil editing process with the rest of us. Thanks for your attention to this, --Krich (talk) 04:47, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

• Editor admits on his user page that he created the blog that he keeps adding to the External links section of Dennis Rader. He has also admitted to being the anon editor (see comments on his talk page) using the IP address above that was making the same edits (and also vandalized my userspace previously) on. His sole edits to Misplaced Pages, minus one where he lists actual books as sources, have been to try to promote his own site. It is clear that unless some action is taken that he will continue to spam his site to this article until the cows come home. DreamGuy 04:41, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

OK, apparently the him is actually a her, and she "obviously far more knowledge of this case than you" is justification for her linking to her own blog repeatedly. And I'm out of reverts, and User:Nunh-huh bowed out earlier... so the spam I guess will stay for now, ugh. DreamGuy 04:53, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

I have blocked the account for 48 hours for persistent spamming despite warnings. Will 24 hour more appropriate? --BorgQueen 05:03, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, the 3RR doesn't provide for a 48 hour block (they are usually reserved for successive 3RRs), and simple vandalism, if this is such, normally only earns a 24 hour block too. Start at 24 and work up is usually best. My 24 hour block will automagically override your 48 hour one at the moment, anyway. -Splash 05:10, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

I think in all honestly that the most effective thing would be clear notes from more than one editor that the spamming is not going to be accepted. She, like a lot of people, seem to think if it's just one person (or, considering the number of likeminded complaints from spammers and POV-pushers on my talk page, which these people see when they go look me up, me specifically) complaining that they can ignore it. A clear show that Misplaced Pages policy is against her on this would be good. DreamGuy 05:15, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

By the way, it was pointed out to me that I screwed up some of the diffs there -- Sorry about that, I stupidly thought just clicking the diff link would show the change, forgetting about a couple of random edits inbetween here and there that made the diff link not show the actual revert. Thanks for paying attention to it anyway. DreamGuy 05:52, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Actually, it's you who's being disruptive, RJ. I've left a warning for James James and have invited him to revert himself. SlimVirgin 06:58, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Nonsense. And I'm tired of your harrassment. You have an antagonism against me based on experiences in the past and are being highly biased, unreasonable, and dishonest. RJII 07:04, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

There is no way I reverted anything more than three times. I've been very careful because I know this guy, rather than working collaboratively, is trying to bully me from the page. He came back from a block for disruption and immediately started the same behaviour that had him blocked. I despair. James James 07:02, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Don't despair. He is sailing very close to the wind in terms of a block for disruption. Just edit within the rules (no matter how frustrated you get) until the issue with him is sorted out. SlimVirgin 07:04, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

I challenge you to point out a "disruption." You need to be more honest. James James has reverted 4 times and is deleting sourced information. Why won't you put a block on him? Either prove you have a shred of integrity and block him, or stay out of this and let a non-biased admin take care of this. RJII 07:09, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

I'd also like to point out jamesjames was warned that he had already made is second revert. So, he can't use the excuse of not knowing what he was doing. (Note Slimvirgin there trying to make excuses for him saying he didnt know what he was doing). RJII 07:18, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

He didn't realize that reverting to different versions counted as a violation. He has now been told. End of story. SlimVirgin 07:20, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm a non-biased admin and I'm dealing with it. I could have blocked you a few days ago for 3RR but I didn't. Today, I could perhaps have blocked James for it, and didn't. But this is a final warning to you that any more disruption at that article, whether in the form of reverting, (including system gaming) or personal attacks, will result in a block. Your behavior means that no one else can edit it. SlimVirgin 07:17, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

A non-biased admin?? LOL! That's the funniest joke I've heard this year! And stop accusing me of being disruptive without proof. You should be demoted. What is it ..you're going to ban me if I edit the article? You're WAY out of line. RJII 07:21, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

James James has now reverted himself, so the issue is closed. SlimVirgin 07:31, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

The issue is far from closed. Provide proof that I was disruptive in that article during this ordeal. Don't make an allegation like that unless you can back it up. You are a horrible adminstrator. RJII 07:33, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Insulting SlimVirgin is hardly conducive to achieving the aims of Misplaced Pages. If I were you, I'd call it quits and consider yourself lucky if another admin doesn't block you for your continued disruption and personal attacks.James James 07:41, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

That was at issue in the reversions, a misunderstanding over codes in which one user, with the best of intentions, tried to change the page to a form with wrong codes. The changes were reverted.

    • The mind boggles at the self-dilusion!!! For the record, a consensus exists as to the form the infobox should take. One user, Netoholic, disagrees and has been trying to force his version, even though that design was rejected. I suppose the one good thing is that, in a break with tradition, Netoholic hasn't used the f-word in his abuse yet. Maybe a change of year has changed his linguistic tendencies. lol FearÉIREANN\ 22:31, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

      • The fact remains that you violated the 3RR. Having consensus on your side is not a valid defense. Quoth the policy, "any reversions beyond this limit should be performed by somebody else, to serve the vital purpose of showing that the community at large is in agreement over which of two competing versions is correct." Also, I'm disturbed the misleading defense that you posted above. Ta bu shi da yu mistakenly believed that Netoholic's functional improvements were being removed, but did not make "a serious of erronious changes to the commands" or "change the page to a form with wrong codes." I try to assume good faith, but your reversions were all about aesthetics, and you know it. —David Levy 23:18, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Comments:

• Snowspinner has made a number of regular reverts as well as administrative edits(protections, deletions, etc.) to WP:RFC/KM(a shortcut), and Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Kelly Martin to squelch further discussion. As stated on WP:3RR...

Reverting doesn't only mean taking a previous version from history and editing that. It means undoing the actions of another editor, and may include edits that mostly undo a previous edit and also add something new, page moving, admin actions such as protection, etc

As I have put a statement at Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Snowspinner 3, i'd prefer if someone else blocked Snowspinner for this. karmafist 00:07, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

I don't quite know what to say - it isn't a typical 3RRvio. Snowspinner clearly has reverted more than three times on the same article within the same 24 hour period (that is if we strictly follow the guidelines at WP:3RR and WP:RV), so a block can be issued under policy. However, I don't really feel comfortable issuing it myself (technicalities), so I'll be leaving this to someone more experienced. Izehar 00:13, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

BTW the protection wasn't a revert according to WP:RV, as he didn't undo someone's change. In the protection log of this page, the only revert was by karmafist, as he undid the changes of another person. Izehar 00:25, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

I recommend against blocking for this. This mess is more than ugly enough as it is. -- SCZenz 00:23, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

I've put a comment on Snowspinner's talk page about this. That's all that needs to be done. -- SCZenz 00:30, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

It isn't a 3RRvio - IMO Snowspinner did not revert even once on WP:RFC/KM, he made different edits. According to WP:RV: The result will be that the page becomes identical to how it used to be at some previous time. This is clearly not the case, so I recommend against a block and retract what I said above. Izehar 00:31, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

This is the thinking Snowspinner had since he's familiar with 3RR as well as many other rules, thus gaming 3RR via breaking WP:POINT which is far less enforced. It was a very creative gaming, but still gaming since there was no justification other than disrupting discussion on Kelly Martin's RFC. karmafist 00:36, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Whatever he did, he can't be blocked for a 3RRvio as he didn't violate the rule. Izehar 00:38, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

It's called "gaming the system". FYI: He just vandalized the page again. —Locke Cole • t • c 00:46, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

He just deleted and protected again. Even through the protection technicality, he's reverted 4 times(2 edits, 3 deletions). karmafist 00:46, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

• Isn't that actually use of administrative powers to gain upper hand in a content dispute as well? Perhaps WP:ANI would also be appropiate, despite the faux pas of crossposting. - brenneman 01:11, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure we ever decided that deletions counted towards the three revert rule. I'm not sure it has ever come up. Of course I'd argue that they do however I don't think a block should be placed. Yet.Geni 01:29, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

I don't wish to comment on this particular situation, but I will quote the 3RR: "This policy does apply to repeatedly moving, renaming, deleting, undeleting, or recreating a page. All of those, if done excessively, are forms of edit warring." —David Levy 02:55, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

That was put there by User:Radiant! at 17:04, 29 October 2005 with no disscussion on the talk page. I don't think the issue has ever realy come up before (other than in regards to page moves where I'm pretty sure the answer was yes) so there hasn't been much disscussion on it).Geni 03:05, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

• I've been at the rough end of "it wasn't discussed but never removed" before, so I'd have to say that a couple of months and a several edits makes for a de facto case. I'll make a discussion starter, though.

In some of these I actually edited text. Not 3RR in my view. Willing to be advised otehrwise and take a penalty, but I purposefully did not exceeed 3RR in my understanding. TDC is using death of Magdoff to start an edit war that has a longstanding background of which TDC is well aware.--Cberlet 01:34, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes it is an accurate complaint, see links above. You made four edits today, each one erased my contributions, and returned the article to the 'exact same state that it existed on since 21:39, November 30, 2005. DTC 02:46, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - Cberlet, it looks like User:TDC's is in the ballpark of a correct 3RR report. See WP:3RR, specifically the sentence "If the effect of your edit is to...", or however that goes. Is there any reason why this edit-war isn't being discussed amongst multiple users? Do you feel so much urgency about editing this article that you should be blocked until you cool off?

Really confusing presentation of diffs (I understand the rational behind it, but still). El_C 15:18, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

There are three pages in question where disputed text appears, and two pages were actively being edited by both of us: Harry Magdoff and Harry Magdoff and espionage. The issue is what quotes from which skeptics should appear on what pages. There was not an intent to produce--nor do I believe an actual-3RR violation on my part as I understood the rule. There was an attempt to find a balance among three pages concerning a number of quotes (the third page is Significance of Venona. I was actively discussing the matter and showing in my editing that if skeptical quotes were removed from one page, but the bulk of the material critical of Magdoff was unchanged, then we had to make some decisions about NPOV and balance by moving quotes around. It does matter that three pages were in play here. It does matter that there was actually editing going on involving the other page. I removed the challenged Navasky and Schrecker quotes and the other material on espionage from the Harry Magdoff page at Revision as of 23:18, 3 January 2006 and then restored the clipped quotes on the Harry Magdoff and espionage page at 23:19, 3 January 2006. The discussion was where the quotes belonged. Now we see that the intent of DTC was to remove the quotes from both pages, which is simply unfair and highly POV. DTC has just misrepresented an editing compromise and removed quotes from two skeptics (Schrecker & Navasky) from Harry Magdoff and espionage instead of removing the agreed upon quote by Schrecker. This is the type of behavior that I am dealing with. Calling skeptics names like "blind Stalinist hacks like Navasky," and blasting "Magdoff's KGB lap-doggery", and then clipping quotes in a POV way. Please review the timing of the edits and the talk page discussions on both pages before ruling this a 3RR violation. This was a complicated situation.--Cberlet 20:35, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

What's the point? It is clear that DTC is not willing to actually engage in a serious discussion of the quotes by scholars he considers "wrong" and "Stalinist Hacks." This is just a waste of time. Just block me for a 3RR violation and get it over with.--Cberlet 21:27, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but you stopped edit-warring yesterday immediately after this report was filed. We don't block as punishment, only to stop edit-wars. Are you telling me that if you aren't blocked you are going to escalate the dispute? Jkelly 21:30, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Good grief. No. I meant that I would rather just be blocked than continuing to have a pointless discussion about the incident on this noticeboard page. I see that the issue is being treated in a mechanical way, that probably makes sense on the surface, and understand that I misunderstood how my attempts to forge a reasonable compromise on the quotes ended up with the appearance that I was just reverting blindly in an edit war, rather than trying to edit three pages at the same time to allow a fair selection of quotes from two skeptical scholars to remain. The debate over the validity of the Venona documents and the attempt to turn Misplaced Pages into a repository for dubious claims and suggestions that hundreds of Americans are/were known Soviet spies is not going to go away. There is already another edit war involving DTC at List_of_code_names_in_the_Venona_papers . I am actually trying to find a reasonable NPOV way to deal with this subject matter, by including not only the accusations, but also at least some text skeptical of the accusations. This involves literally scores of pages created by Nobs01 for the sole purpose of accusing the person named in the biographical entry of being a Soviet spy named in the Venona papers according to some scholars--a claim that is disputed by other scholars. It is a mess. Anyway, I am suspending myself for 48 hours as pennance. I am only responding here for the duration.--Cberlet 16:15, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

• To my eye, the edits he was reverting do not constitute clear vandalism. They seem to be personal preference. Even if it was vandalism, he should never revert war ad nauseum... he should have sought out an admin to assist. -- Netoholic @ 09:08, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I believe Khoikhoi was under pressure with these reverts, but should have found other users to help out so as not break 3RR. I don't see any need for a block now: the 3RR block is not used for punishment. The nature of the changes is controversial. I believe Khoikhoi was trying to maintain a neutral line, but a number of anons (probably the same person on different IP addresses) was trying to bring the article around to a Georgian point of view. I think a sensitive compromise was reached. The lesson is that to avoid 3RR when reverting controversial edits that are not simple vandalism get other to help. --Gareth Hughes 12:55, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

4 reverts on St Michael's Mount.

• Version reverted to
• 1st revert
• 2nd revert
• 3rd revert
• 4th revert

He slightly changes the wording in the 4th revert but he is still doing the identical revert of removing England as in Cornwall, England, and reverting against 2 separate editors today. As he is new I warned him about the 3RR rukle here to which he responded by removing my comment here. It looks to me like he read the 3RR rule and tried to game the system by slightly changing what he changed to but leaving the esserntial revert because he doesn't want to see Cornwall labelled as a part of England, SqueakBox 17:59, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

• Blocked for 24 hours. He undid your adding the words "Cornwall, England" more than four times within the same 24 hour period and he had been pointed to the rule. According to WP:3RR:

Reverting in this context means undoing the work of another editor. It does not necessarily mean going back into the page history to revert to a previous version. The passage you keep adding or deleting may be as little as a few words, or in some cases, just one word.

He certainly did that more than four times within the same 24 hour period. I also don't approve of him calling the work of his fellow editors "vandalism". Izehar 18:09, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

• User:RJII and User:MrVoluntarist, both libertarians, are performing various edits on Capitalism that violate Misplaced Pages:Neutral point of view. I have requested an article RFC. RJII has violated the three-revert rule by performing four reverts in less than 24 hours. Crotalus horridus (TALK • CONTRIBS) 04:36, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi Crotalus, can you supply the diffs, please, showing the actual changes, and also which version he reverted to, because the versions you gave above (1st revert 15:35 to version at 09:02) are not the same. If they are complex, partial reverts, which is what RJII usually does, please say which word(s) he keeps reverting to. SlimVirgin 04:45, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your concern, SlimVirgin. I have adjusted the revert links above to point to the relevant diffs. You are correct - they are complex reverts, not all straightforward. But the effect of all of them is that he is removing any attempt to differentiate laissez-faire from other forms of capitalism. He insists that only laissez-faire is capitalism and anything else is not, and removes or reverts any edits that contradict this. Crotalus horridus (TALK • CONTRIBS) 04:54, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay, Crotalus. I see what you mean now. I'll block him for 24 hours. SlimVirgin 06:45, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

RJII says this was not a 3RR violation. If there's someone around who's willing to review the diffs, that would be appreciated. He was making complex, partial reverts, by removing that "strict unalloyed capitalism" or "unfettered capitalism" is called laissez-faire, and replacing those phrases to read that capitalism is called laissez-faire (without the qualification). RJII's habit is to make lots of small edits so it's hard to see whether he violated 3RR or not. SlimVirgin 07:10, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

I looked them over. Assuming he's aware that the policy exists at all, the block seems entirely fair to me. Reversions don't have to be to the exact same wording, if the net effect is altering the language in the same fashion, even if semantically different. · Katefan0/mrp 07:22, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

• Mikeabundo, has for the past few days, been engaged in an edit war with several people in the Cosplay article. He has been removing a website link from one of the community sites links because the site being deleted by him seems to be a competitor of a Philippines-based cosplay site he already owns, which has already been listed. Everytime one person attempts to re-add the site, Mikeabundo deletes it immediately without explanation. Attempts at dispute resolution using talk pages and actually contacting him online have failed. The person in question is aware of the attempts to contact him, because he had been re-adding the link he previously deleted into the page, and then removing them again after a certain period of time. If you look at his recent reverts, he is now leaving the site's link up on the page, but describing it as an 'old' site (which is untrue, given that the site is still very much active) in hopes to deter visitors.

You were both revert warring, as far as I can tell. When there's abuse on both sides of a good-faith dispute, protection is the best solution, IMO. android79 18:57, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Once again, I repeat, it would be nice if editors were punished in some way for knowingly filing false reports. This is nothing but harassment, and his claims for not seeing consensus are bizarrely deceptive (the talk page is right there) and irrelevant for 3RR reports anyway. If he wants a general ban on edit warring, he should get banned for that himself, as he started up reverting back to the exact same content that was discussed and settled against their inclusion MONTHS ago.

As for the falsity of the report, I quote policy: The three-revert rule is not an entitlement, but an "electric fence"; the 3RR is intended to stop edit wars. It does not grant users an inalienable right to three reverts every 24 hours or endorse reverts as an editing technique; and I have quite commonly seen 3RR bans as a result of 4 reverts in just over 24 hours.

What I would like, however, is for DreamGuy to stop using "reversion as an editing technique". Septentrionalis 23:27, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

• Twice blocked for this, and twice unblocked, which is getting to be a bit silly. (As I've restored the template myself, I'm not going to do any blocking on this, or come to that any further restoring.) Alai 00:50, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

• It seems that there is soem question as to whether multiple deletions (or undeletions) are coverd by teh 3RR. I think that they should be. I called the 3RR issue to Tony's attention after the fourth deletion, but before either block. DES 00:53, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

• The deletion war seems to have stopped anyway. Izehar 00:56, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

• If people want to apply 3RR to deletion, I don't see why they shouldn't. There's been enough wheel warring lately, so whatever can be done to discourage it is probably a good thing. I don't think the blocking and unblocking is that silly- it looks like there were plausible reasons for each action; it wasn't just fighting. Friday (talk) 01:03, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

• • Well, I don't mean Monty-Python-style silliness, but rather, the unfortunate state of a deletion war then being displaced into an arguably even more lamentable block-unblock war, on an equally ad hoc basis ('the appropriate process' being currently highly unfashionable, by all accounts). Alai 01:26, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

• The 3RR applies to deletion/undeletion warring. It should be enforced in this case if Tony has violated the 3RR (I haven't checked in detail). I will not do so due to my wiki-history with Tony, but someone else should. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 01:10, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

• Multiple reverts by Gryffindor. He originally moved pages without prior authorization or voting.

He changed names to reflect a German point of view. He changed names from Italian to German. He is an Austrian who is bringing politics directly to WIKI. He keeps reverting multiple pages to what he demands the translation should be, even though it is different from every major reference. Are his changes somehow HOLY? 71.106.187.188 03:53, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

• Where are the diffs? El_C 03:42, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

*posted, sorry for the delay. WIKI needs to make it clearn how one user can make a change, and then if another person corrects that change to what is Internationally given in references, that previous users changes are now somehow Holy, because he says so? Gryffindor is manipulating the system to push a German agenda. Its frightening that people use WIKI this way. 71.106.187.188 03:53, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Also looks pretty clear-cut as regards being 5 reverts in <24h (though please, include timestamps as well as diffs, thanks). Nor do I think the edits being undone rise to the level of vandalism, though screwing around with an article bold title looks dubious to me. No prior warnings in this case, but if he's savvy enough to report 'em, should be savvy enough to avoid making 'em, so blocked for 24 hours for the sakes of parity. Alai 04:38, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

I just want to warn administrators in advance that a 3rr may be posted against me out of vengeance by the spammer who I posted up here(68.159.20.189). I had to revert multiple times, as did other editors to get rid of his link spam(which he posted 10 times), which he backed up with insults instead of discussion. We tried to discuss at first, but then found he was intent on simply posting it again and again, so we began to respond with simple reverts of his spam, as if it were vandalism(of course we checked if he added any valuable content in advance, but that has never been the case). Just an advance warning. Thanks, --Urthogie 10:18, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

• Look at Nixer's block log - are you sure that a longer block for trolling and disruption cannot be used. Nixer also has a long history of gaming the 3RR. He was blocked on Monday for violating the 3RR on the same article and now he is back and did it again! Izehar 11:35, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

• Please read the article's talk page before banning me. A had nothing againsg Lysy's edits. Also I was several times reverted without explaination. Now nobody of my opponents answer me in the talk page, they only revert me. I think a long-term block cannot help to state the truth. I only invite to discuss the contents of the page. Unlike my opponents I explained all my edits in the talk page. I asked them give their sources, but they refused, simply deleting all information I add.--Nixer 12:24, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

• Wrong Nixer, I don't know who you think you are. You must think that the 3RR doesn't apply to clever people such as yourself, but applies to everyone else. You have been blocked countless times for 3RRvios, but you won't stop - havn't you understood it yet? We have explained why your edits are wrong on the article talk page and your talk page when you were blocked. There is no way that the most senior military officer of one country can outrank the most senior military officer of another. You are in the minority, there are three users reverting you. Until you cite a source, you will simply be trolling the article and you will probably end up being reverted each time. You have no idea how peaceful the article was last time you were blocked - discuss on the talk page, don't edit war. When all other editors disagree with you, there is no way, edit warring will get you anywhere. Izehar 12:52, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

• 3RR need to prevent edit-warring. Since there begun and is going on a purposeful discussion on the talk page (thanks to Kirill Lokshin), the 3RR ban would be pointless.--Nixer 14:14, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Nixer is one of the people who Just Don't Get It until repeatedly hit with blunt implements. With his history of 3RR blocks, longer disruption blocks should be an option. Can an admin with no previous involvement look into this and comment please? dab (ᛏ) 14:24, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

ah, I see he was blocked for a week by Rdsmith4 on Dec 30. This is about what I would have judged myself. Another week would seem appropriate, with the warning that blocks can get even longer than that. dab (ᛏ) 14:27, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Over the last couple days, various POV edits made by the various anon IPs User:81.213.123.54, User:85.101.16.207, User:85.102.128.108, User:213.112.171.248, et al. (the same user?) regarding Turkey, Cyprus, other arguably European territories, table figures and provisos – inconsistent with recent discussions/efforts for NPOV have been irksome, haven't at all been discussed (despite requests), and remain largely unsourced. (Mind you, some of the contributions are valid.) The editor(s) have recently indicated that they believe the figures are inaccurate (according solely to Turkey and the CIA factbook), but provisos and links to sourced information and NPOV attempts have been overlooked or ignored throughout.

Also note a similar MO with different editor(s) recently. I'm loathe for reciprocating (and acknowledge I might have also violated 3RR) and will refrain hereafter, but until there's a groundswell supporting this, request investigation and or that some sort of action be taken.

• User warned on User talk:Thames
• For full disclosure see above conversation and Template talk:Christianity. I believe I discussed, made attempts to incorperate changes, etc. This is possibly an issue of article ownership, but I'll leave that to others to decide. I am also open to suggestions myself.--Tznkai 02:18, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
• I warned him again. Lets see if that works.Voice of All 02:23, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I don't understand why this didn't earn a block. It's a pretty clear 3RR case, from an established editor who shouldn't need warning and who had already been warned. Am I missing something? -Splash 02:52, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Not to mention it didn't work. I'm all for discussing, but that doesn't mean we freeze work on the template in question in the mean time last I checked. Is there some rule I don't know about?--Tznkai 02:55, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm. Tznkai, you are perilously close to 3RR yourself. I don't think you've quite hit the 'electric fence' since your most recent edits have not been reverts. Your earlier ones do appear to be, though. -Splash 03:03, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

I'll admit to it, but I've stopped. If you think I'm in violation though, go ahead and block me, and I won't dispute.--Tznkai 03:08, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

No, I don't think you are, and I've looked carefully through the history. Bear in mind, that it may be necessary to request full protection of the template while things are worked out. That's better than handing out a bunch of blocks. -Splash 03:26, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

User:71.139.108.125 and User:66.208.55.3 on Stephen Schwartz (journalist)

Multiple Three revert rule violations on {{Article|Stephen Schwartz (journalist)]] by two anon users, User:71.139.108.125 and User:66.208.55.3 since 10 Jan 2006.

All but 3 of the 39 edits are edit warring by these two anonymous editor over the same two pieces of text. A very unconventional 3RR vio, since each editor is achieving their reverts in pieces, perhaps trying to give the impression they are not really reverting. --- Charles Stewart 02:40, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Oh dear. Hmmm. Neither of them are close to 4 in the last 24 hours. Multiple contiguous edits to achieve a revert are usually viewed as a single edit for 3RR purposes, since they could as well have been executed in one go with exactly the same end result. However, I've full-protected the template since there is clearly an edit-war in full swing. (Semiprotection not appropriate for an editorial dispute, even between anons.) -Splash 03:35, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Could the article be reverted to its 24 Dec 2005 status (ie. before the first anon edited)? One of the anonymous editors appears to have been Schwartz and he is threatneing me, Misplaced Pages and my university with libel.

Comments:

• I've already blocked this user for 24 hours for the violation, but I thought I'd report it here anyway because of the unusual nature of the reversions. The last two reversions were done over several edits, and they were not exactly the same (just mostly). The user is also threatening me on his talk page, so I would appreciate some neutral feedback over my actions. - ulayiti (talk) 15:13, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Increadible volume of vandalism on List of ethnic slurs

(Comment moved from Administrators' Noticeboard for faster response.)

Upon review it appears 155.84.57.253 has reverted the edits of several users on the List of ethnic slurs entry giving the explanation non-notables, repairs, version by ---, last credible version, or reliable , , , , , , , , , , (as if one can distinguish reliable versions in an article with almost no citations). And this is only in the last 12 days! Thus, it appears as if many quite possibly valid entries have been deleted. This anon has been editing just this page since November, 2004 . Most of his reversions appear to remain unfixed. --Primetime 22:08, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Upon further review, it appears as if the anon has deleted comments on their talk page warning them to stop reverting other people's changes . It also appears as if they were given a 24-hour ban on January 6 , although they have continued their ways unabated. --Primetime 23:03, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Removing content from an article is not by itself vandalism, and 11 edits in 12 days does not violate 3RR. What is the maximum number of reverts they have done in any 24 hour period (excluding the period you say they have already served a ban for). Thanks, Johntex\ 23:59, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

I don't think there is any example of the user doing that at any time. In any case, they're pretty prolific. I can't revert to the version before them because so many people have edited the page since the vandalism, so I'm having to manually copy their deleted entries back in. Thus, again, look at one of the examples I cited: . There is no excuse for such widespread blanking. They gave no explanation, just vers by Impel. The definition of vandalism given here is "any addition, deletion, or change to content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of the encyclopedia." I'm not going to revert them again, because this is too much work. This isn't even accounting for their previous edits that have gone un-reverted. This is arguably worse than Willy on Wheels because most of his damage was corrected. --Primetime 01:55, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello Primetime - thanks for your reply. I have looked again at that one specific example. It seems the user reverted to a previous version by Impel. I don't know why they would do that. Perhaps anon is Impel. Perhaps anon just thought Impel's version was a better version. Either way, it still looks like a content dispute, and there does not seem to be a 3RR violation. I think you have done the right thing by soliciting discussion on the article Talk page, I suggest you also place a similar message on the anonymous user's talk page. If the user(s) mail to engage in discussion over their changes, then a block might be warranted. However, blocking a shared IP address is a serious step. I for one, am not willing to take that step unless other remedies have been exhausted. Johntex\ 02:40, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Comments:

• This editor refuses to use the discussion page to explain his reverts, just reverts. I think he also uses a sock, given that both users only edit this specific article. She/he ignores requests for dialogue (he just entered his first comment today) and has had multiple problems with at least three separate editors in the last two weeks on this article.

I have repeatedly used the discussion page. My comments can be seen there. Sqrjn 09:33, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

There is a 24-hour caveat, which this falls outside of, IMO. I have left a warning for Sqrjn on his/her talk page, but will monitor the article closely.

Please resolve disputes before making edits after two reverts on a topic. Either leave the article alone and use the talk page to get things worked out, or take a short Wikiholiday. -Visorstuff 11:57, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

• Zen-master has reverted the addition of the "rejected" tag (by three different editors) five times in the past 16 hours. In addition to blocking him for the 3RR violation, I also ask that an admin ban him from editing this page for at least two weeks, per the terms of his probation. Carbonite | Talk 20:44, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Voting just began on version 2.0 of the proposal so it can't possibly be rejected. I interpret this as an attempt to stifle a serious consideration of the Misplaced Pages:Title Neutrality proposal, Carbonite's vote for "voting is evil" is another apparent example of intentional befuddlement of the core issue here (lack of neutrality for the phrase "conspiracy theory" in descriptive contexts). zen master T 20:55, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Too many to list. See the history page for this article. The IP address is an AOL address probably used by Jason Gastrich. A discussion of criteria to determine notability is under way, but Gastrich and his mysterious AOL partner insist on Gastrich's exact list being entered over and over again.
