A few days after his edit-warring block this editor is back at it edit-warring at Mythology and showing no signs of abiding by consensus. Notice his edit summary sock investigation went well. He seems to enjoy all this disruption and shows no signs of stopping: I´m replacing humankind with humanity. Both words mean the same thing so I can change it just because I don´t like the word humankind. . I thought we had an agreement and withdrew my report yesterday. But he started again today trying to eliminate all occurrences of the word "humankind" from the mythology article. Δρ.Κ. 21:50, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
Please see also recent edit-warring report which resulted in a 24 hour block. Δρ.Κ. 21:51, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
- He is also resorting to personal attacks: . Δρ.Κ. 21:54, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
- I also thought we had an agreement. You said you would no longer contest the word humanity in the article but you´re back to removing it. I´m not back to edit warring. I was trying to implement our agreement when you decided to go back on it. Also, why is it edit warring when I do it but not you? A ridiculous report. Edgth (talk) 22:09, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
- No. The word "humanity" is still at the lead. I stuck by the agreement and left it at the lead. You removed the one single remaining "humankind", that is the problem. Δρ.Κ. 22:15, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
- You said that you would no longer contest the word humanity in the article. It seems by that you just meant the lead. Nevertheless, the editing we´ve been doing over the last hour isn´t edit warring but trying to come to an agreement after the confusion over the agreement. Edgth (talk) 22:22, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
- Indeed, because that is where you put it. In our agreement I was referring to your original edit specifically where you replaced a single "humankind" with "humanity" at the lead. I'm also willing to AGF you were confused about that. Δρ.Κ. 22:33, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
- I´m also willing to AGF that you misspoke and didn´t intend to break the agreement. YAY we´re friends now. Edgth (talk) 22:44, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
- So have you reached an agreement? Is any administrative action needed at this stage? Alex Bakharev (talk) 22:57, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
- Edgth has now performed a sixth revert. It is clear he will not stop. He also does not appear to understand the concept of 3RR. I recommend a block to stop this ongoing disruption. Δρ.Κ. 23:40, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
That's a good question Alex. I did reach an agreement with Edgth, subject to some misinterpretations (AGF), but Paul August, who was not part of the agreement, edited the article today in favour of the word "humankind". I happen to completely agree with his position because that was my original position and I agree with his edit-summaries. So there is another consensus forming at the present time which is not covered by the old agreement. I'll AGF and I would settle for some advice to Edgth not to revert Paul's edits because he does not have consensus any longer.Δρ.Κ. 23:11, 30 July 2013 (UTC)- Buster seems to be happy with humanity, judging by his talk page comment. I´ve reinstated humanity and am inviting you to edit the terminology section again if you´re not happy with its current state. Edgth (talk) 23:25, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
- That was exactly the wrong move. You now have six reverts. I struck my comments about leniency to Alex. I now recommend a block for Edgth. Δρ.Κ. 23:31, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
- Because I stuck to the agreement on the talk page that you, buster and I support? Stop being annoying and move on. Edgth (talk) 23:37, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
- It doesn't matter. Paul was not part of the agreement and he reverted you. The 3RR is a bright line. You should not have reverted his edits. Period. Δρ.Κ. 23:48, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
- He went against the talk page consensus so he didn´t just revert me. Since we´ve been editing all over the article trying to reach a suitable version, most of your accused reverts are not even reverts anyway and you´ve done more than a fair share of them. Edgth (talk) 23:55, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

No amount of justifications justify going over 3RR. I had my timing wrong and when I realised the time in history was not UTC I self-reverted and did not edit since. Δρ.Κ. 00:00, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
- I´ll list them then. The ´resolved via the talk page´ isn´t one as I was implementing our agreement. The ´avoid repition even more by just getting to the quote that explains it more than enough´ isn´t one, as we were both editing the article several times like that trying to come up with a sutable version. The ´doesn´t need to be attributed. since paul doesn´t like human race, is the agreed to humanity on the talk page ok´ isn´t one as I was implementing the agreement again, minus some of the confusion. Edgth (talk) 00:09, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
- Result: Blocked 48 hours. See also Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Edgth/Archive. Well-meaning advice does not seem to have made much of an impression on this editor (see "Stop boring me with your templates" on his talk page). This is the second time in a week that he has been at AN3, and his account was newly created on 20 July. He ought to read WP:EW to get clear on the definition of a revert. EdJohnston (talk) 14:06, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
- As soon as he got unblocked after the 48 hour block he started the edit-war again, including attacks in the edit-summary: . Δρ.Κ. 02:36, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
- Really? Why is it an edit war by me but not you? After all, you´re the one edit warring against the talk page consensus. Edgth (talk) 02:39, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
- Editor Edgth. Consensus is like the weather. It's always changing. If you are here to assist in positive editing of the encyclopedia, you are welcome. If you are here for other reasons, your stay may be a short one. It's always up to you. ```Buster Seven Talk 07:06, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Comments:
Please see the extensive discussion in Talk. I did not know that small discussed changes constituted a "revert". My changes today are different from prior, and were carefully discussed. I conceded the requirement for "only."] Note that all the references cited find that recommendations are made (not "proposed").] Note that the best references (American Cancer Society 2006 and 2012 do not recommend fish to reduce the risk of cancer; Jmh649's text is not accurate.]32cllou (talk) 21:11, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
I would like to take this argument to Rfc. Misplaced Pages currently misleads compared to the American Cancer Society references (reviews).32cllou (talk) 21:11, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
- The issue is your continued insistence on re-making the same challenged changes over and over without consensus on the Talk page, while the Talk page discussions are still ongoing and unresolved--as I tried to explain to you on your User Talk page. You've been doing this all afternoon.

21:12, 31 July 2013 (UTC)- The 2012 ACS does recommend fish (as opposed to red meat) as part of a diet to prevent cancer. As does another 2011 review article and the Australian Cancer Council. But this is an issue of continuous reinserting contention changes to the article. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 21:15, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
- The ACS (2012) recommends fish 'as an alternative to red meats. They do not include fish (at all) in their primary recommendations, Table I. The Australian Cancer Council was not cited or referenced in the Subject text, and I've looked over the research studies reviewed and almost all the findings are relative (IF you eat fish instead of red meat).
- Today and only once did I edit to remove the recommendation to eat fish. I thought we were near consensus saying recommendations are made compared to recommendations are proposed. They are in fact made. They are made based on observational and prospective studies, but less than definitive clinical research.
- I will give this subject a long rest, so there shouldn't be a need for some sanction.32cllou (talk) 22:52, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Note that Jmh649 also possibly violated the 3RR rules in other articles, and that most of the subjects are now better than before my involvement. Also, please note the same group of editors (like a flash mob) who come into a discussion and immediately (they are unlikely to have been able to read the talk discussion) side with Jmh649 and find "consensus". Looking at their User pages, I'd say the group looks like a mutual admiration society. Can editors bring in friends explicitly to support their edits by thus created consensus?32cllou (talk) 00:09, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
- Actually it is recommended that one post at the appropriate Wiki Project such as I did here to request furtehr opinions when there is a content dispute. If you are going to claim that I surpassed 3RR you should provide evidence Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 02:13, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
- From my contributions history, it looks like I reported your actions in a 3RR report on this page April 8th because of problems you were causing with my trying to make Cochrane Collaboration statement additions ] to Breast Cancer. Look at the associated Talk, and see how much effort was required on my part to make an (another) obvious improvement. I am alarmed to hear you requested the opinions of others, because that serves to confirm my suspicions that there are few active editors left in Misplaced Pages. Bad behaviors and wasted efforts, for example my wasted time and efforts in mammography and cancer, have driven them away.32cllou (talk) 16:19, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

- Hey 32cllou you keep making unsupported comments about me. You claim I have edit warred yet when asked to provide evidence you do not. The dif is here it states "no violation"
- The issues we had at breast cancer are interesting. You attempted to claim that a leaflet was an update of a Cochrane Systematic Review and Meta Analysis., , and a bunch more. You did this multiple times despite being explained by many editors that this was not true.and . In your most recent attempt you finally admit that it was not a Cochrane review . A Misplaced Pages who is also an expert removed it in the next edit as we should be citing the Cochrane review not a leaflet derived from it.
- You state "I value independent current review references most of all" yet you keep mentioning primary sources such as in this edit and you have mentioned this popular press peice both above and twice on the cancer talk page . In the beast cancer issue above you attempted many times to add a leaflet rather than the proper review article.
- You continue to attempt to edit war content and wording changes into an article despite no consensus to add it and multiple requests that you get consensus first. You have made many personal attacks against me and you have been warnned a number of times for the same. Yes these sorts of activities are getting frustrating.
- One more interesting bit. 32cllou states "PS you might be interested to know that mammography is not recommended at any age?" How does one deal with an editor like this? The US Preventive Services Task Force recommends screening every two years in women between 50 and 75. Screening is also recommended in Canada. Yes a Cochrane Review does not recommend screening at any age. But our article mentioned ALL this before 32 came along.Doc James (talk · contribs ·email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 21:13, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Diffs of the user's reverts:
- This may not be a classic case of constant reversion to a single version, but representative of an ongoing pattern of combative editing and disrespect for other editors, starting as early as May 28. I respect Petrarchan's wishes to defend Misplaced Pages against paid editors, of which I am absolutely not one, but I don't agree that a praiseworthy cause justifies this style of editing and continual reversion.
Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: .
Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: There have been reams of discussions on the talk page, which has been a maelstrom since the article was created.
Comments: Petrarchan47 is one of several editors who might benefit from a break from the page, and one of the most frequent reverters. Personally, I do not intend to edit the article again, at least until the editing climate is brought under control. The whole situation, but mostly the defense of edit warring as an admirable activity by editors who should know better, leaves a very bad impression. As several editors have said, editing this page has been one of their more frustrating experiences at Misplaced Pages. There are a few editors with a clear POV and editing history revolving around just a few topics who are constantly edit warring and attacking anyone who disagrees with them with a disappointing failure of civility. Dishearteningly representative was the hostile response to my good-faith warning to the user here. An anti-corporation and anti-paid editing stance might be praiseworthy, but does it justify this? SpectraValor (talk) 00:24, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
- I haven't worked on this page in a very long time, until just yesterday. This situation is being discussed at ANI and is perhaps on its way to ArbCom. Please check the revision history to see who exactly "needs a break". petrarchan47tc 00:38, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
- I wanted to point out that SpectorValor, shortly after filing this complaint, tried to blame me (after a mere 24 hours of our interacting) for his inability to tolerate working on the MAM page, and his reason for walking away. This followed his volunteer admission at the AN/I that he is not being paid by Monsanto, but has probably used other accounts, accidentally. User:Alexbrn, who also works on the MAM article, suggested the night before this 3RR case was filed that I revert his (groundless) edit for a third time. It feels like possible games are being played with this noticeboard. This is the second time I've been taken to a noticeboard of any type - and both times were for trumped up 3RR charges while working on the MAM article. (Is there no boomerang for this behaviour? It's getting old.) petrarchan47tc 18:51, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
- Correction, I may have misread Spector at the ANI, he said he may have "edited some of the same articles as them", referring to family and colleagues, but I read "as them" as 'using their identity' (socking). . petrarchan47tc 22:53, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

- Note. I suggest that no action be taken on this report pending the outcome of the discussion at WP:ANI. The reported user here has not reverted - or even edited - the article in almost 24 hours. Good advice to Petrarchan47 is to leave the article alone for the time being. Any other admin is, of course, free to take action here if they believe it's warranted, but you first have to undergo a trial by fire: read the report at ANI (good luck).--Bbb23 (talk) 00:56, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
- Non-admin comment. I'm guilty of starting that ANI thread, so I'm pretty well-roasted by now. I don't see any of this as an AN3 issue, really, so it should probably be closed with no action. That's not to say that Petrarchan47 has been a model of civility either. --Tryptofish (talk) 01:07, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
- I was alerted to this comment by Misplaced Pages's new notification system. User:Petrarchan47 is referring to a Talk page discussion about a completely different article (Foie gras) (after he had had, it seems, followed me there to revert an an edit of mine) in order to try and make a point about "games being played". Oh the irony. Why can't I edit Misplaced Pages without being attacked with these dumb insults and conspiracism? Alexbrn 20:53, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
- No, please reread the diff. We were discussing two separate articles. Regarding the MAM article, I asked you to revert yourself pending a ref to support your recent change there. You, for whatever reason, suggested that I could could go ahead and revert you myself, since I only had two reverts. I find that strange in light of this case filed against me, with at least two of the diffs supplied above being my reverts of your inappropriate and unsupported changes to the article. Why would you make a change without a reference? And why did you not revert yourself when you agreed on my talk that you had no supporting ref, but instead suggest I do it (again)? As for the Foie Gras article, it is on my watch list and you can see I've made contributions there somewhat recently. petrarchan47tc 22:53, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
- Better yet, here the exact phrasing from my talk page that in hindsight, concerned me:
- Petrarchan47 "...Also, at the MAM article, you have just attributed the protest, partially, to a reaction to Monsanto's statements without any source for this. I would self-revert if I were you, until you do have a source making this connection. I have already reverted you twice so cannot correct it myself."
- Alexbrn: "I think you can revert me again if you want (3RR? it's so easy to overstep by mistake)" petrarchan47tc 23:01, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
- — right, so I didn't "suggest" you do the revert, I just pointed out that I thought you could if you wanted. I then made subsequent edits on the MaM article that addressed the issue that concerned you, while also addressing the issue that concerned me (which a straight undo would not have achieved). And it is not me who filed the case here (it doesn't look to me as if you are edit-warring). Are you trying to imply that I am acting in league SpectraValor to try and "trick" you into violating 3RR? Because that would be very silly. Alexbrn 05:10, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
- You know, I've asked you a very specific question multiple times, and I notice that you never answer me. Why did you repeatedly make an edit which suggested a cause for the MAM protest was Monsanto's comments a few days prior to the event without any source whatsoever to support your claim? I hear you dodging around saying either way wasn't quite right, but editing Wiki without any sourcing puts you in the wrong, according to my understanding of the guidelines. I tried to correct your edits which put the article in the position of essentially telling an untruth, for which I got taken to a noticeboard. If someone pointed out to me that I had made such an error, I would focus on correcting my side of the street immediately and go from there. I wouldnt ask you to do it for me, and I wouldn't ignore the most basic requirement of adding a fricking source to support my edits. So I have no way of understanding how your behavior is in keeping with WIkipedia guidelines. Please reply more directly to my query. petrarchan47tc 00:05, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
- Better yet, here the exact phrasing from my talk page that in hindsight, concerned me:
- No, please reread the diff. We were discussing two separate articles. Regarding the MAM article, I asked you to revert yourself pending a ref to support your recent change there. You, for whatever reason, suggested that I could could go ahead and revert you myself, since I only had two reverts. I find that strange in light of this case filed against me, with at least two of the diffs supplied above being my reverts of your inappropriate and unsupported changes to the article. Why would you make a change without a reference? And why did you not revert yourself when you agreed on my talk that you had no supporting ref, but instead suggest I do it (again)? As for the Foie Gras article, it is on my watch list and you can see I've made contributions there somewhat recently. petrarchan47tc 22:53, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

I have reported this user for violating the WP:3RR.

Black60dragon was recently blocked for a week for edit warring on another page and after his block had expired he had resumed this practice but on yet another page. I have made multiple attempts to discuss this and other edits to this article with him on his talk page but he outright refuses to acknowledge anything I've said to him and has also resorted to personal attacks and adding contentious information that I had previously argued with him about on this article to another article (see Talk:List of Pokémon introduced in Generation VI#Forme for more detail). Black60dragon will not listen to reason or acknowledge arguments based on Misplaced Pages policy and guidelines and instead edits based on what he thinks is right and nothing else. —Ryulong (琉竜) 05:34, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
- Oh come on. This is not edit warring. If it was then you are just as responsible. I havent re-reverted it, like you continue to do. You revert every little thing I add. Im aloud to add stuff. You cant control the page. I have done a lot for that page. BlackDragon 15:57, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
- It is indeed edit warring because you refuse to communicate when all I do is attempt to communicate and you refuse to acknowledge my point of view.—Ryulong (琉竜) 16:35, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
- Um Dude Im communicating right now so I dont know what your talking about. If you remember right "I" am the one that add "Both" of the versions in one which you wouldnt do. If you continue doing it too, your also to blame. BlackDragon 18:46, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
- Note. You are both edit warring. However, am I correct that you're reached an agreement on what should be on the article with respect to this one character (or whatever it is)?--Bbb23 (talk) 00:04, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
- Things have settled down, yes.—Ryulong (琉竜) 08:05, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
- This case should be closed as nonsense. The supplied diffs do not support Ryulong's allegations. Most of them are confused and rambling. Please note another recent complaint by User:Ryulong where he attempted to rid himself of another editor modifying his articles. 99.251.120.60 (talk) 00:51, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
- This IP has done nothing on Misplaced Pages except attempt to implicate me in whatever trouble he thinks exists. Black60dragon was edit warring and I was making several attempts at communication but he outright refused to respond. Exactly what about these diffs (I formatted the template wrong before, my apologies) are "confused and rambling"? They show he's been warned and that I attempted to resolve the dispute, but he ignored me and continued to revert on the assumption that he was right and I was wrong. That is edit warring. Now 99.251.120.60 kindly buzz off.—Ryulong (琉竜) 08:04, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
- Your diffs supplied only show your rambling complaints to other editors. Similar to your last disorganized , against another editor, you don't show diffs to prove the other editor did anything incorrectly. The Ryulong named account has been used since 2006. Did it belong to somebody else previously? You seem to lack experience in this process and your history shows many, repeated complaints against you for being rude, using demanding and insulting language against other editors. This behavior drives away editors from the Misplaced Pages project. It becomes hard to take complaints from your account seriously with all those factors. 99.251.120.60 (talk) 13:12, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
- In my final comment to that thread on ANI I showed every single instance of deleterious editing by the IP hopping editor that I reported. In my comments to Black60dragon you call them "rambling complaints" due to the multiple issues I have to constantly bring up to him regarding his editing practices. I clearly ask him to cease edit warring due to the various reasons, and I warn him that he is edit warring. What more do you require and why do you ask of me these things?—Ryulong (琉竜) 13:16, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

the "ugly content" explains the innuendo implied by the sourced article in clearer terms. there is no doubt that the "suggestive exercise" of women "pumping away" at a "phallic-shaped device" described in the article is suggestive because it looks like a handjob. nobody would challenge this. no additional sources are needed. understand that this is a nonissue inflated by an alarmist who started this "edit war" herself due to an oversensitivity to explicit language. 96.248.15.44 (talk) 11:23, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

All attempts to explain issues with misusing sources, violations of WP:SYNTH, WP:MoS and breaking templates are met with an obstructive response. Currently edit warring on this article and Come Back and Stay despite attempts to resolve on users talk page, refuses to use article talk pages to achieve consensus. This user has a history of removing notes, cautions and warnings from their talk page and fails to read relevant policies. Has removed edit warring warning here . Flat Out let's discuss it 12:49, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
- I'm sorry but Mos are details. It's different from vandalism for example. There is no reason to revert my edits just because you don't like other changes. You don't respect my work at all.
- I haven't raised vandalism, I have raised edit warring. Simply putting back disputed information without taking into account the issues raised by editors is not the way to get things done. You clearly make an effort to improve articles but you go about it the wrong way and introduce POV, issues with sources, breaking templates, and WP:MoS. Rather than expecting other editors to fix your mistakes it would be preferable if you would instead read the information that people take time to link on your talk page - WP:SYNTH is a prime example - and learn so that you are not making the same mistakes over and over.Flat Out let's discuss it 13:13, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
- I try to avoid POV, but if, like for "Come Back and Stay", I don't find any reliable references except Allmusic for example, what I'm supposed to do to improve an article without giving the impression I'm making "disruptive edits" ?
- There's nothing wrong with allmusic as a source, it's your interpretation and misrepresentation of the informtion at the source that is at issue. Again, you need to understand WP:SYNTH.Flat Out let's discuss it 13:58, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
- of that information You'll tell me I have to use the talk page but if no one answer me or if someone answer me saying I need a better source, what can I do ? That's this aspect I don't like on Misplaced Pages and you must understand this point. Saying "Come Back and stay" incorporates "new wave" and "blue-eyed soul" elements has nothing nonsensical, according to a lot of reliable sources I read about Paul Young. And I can tell you not all my edits about genres are disruptive. They often have been accepted because I managed to find good & precise references that supports my view. I was lucky, if I can say it like that, and I didn't have to use a talk page at all for what I actually improve on such articles or follow your cycle. Synthwave.94 (talk) 13:46, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
- It's not a matter of the edits being disruptive. The source you used to support "blue-eyed soul" as a genre doesn't support that change. You can't just use the faintest mention of a word to support your personal opinion on what a genre should be. Flat Out let's discuss it 13:58, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
- And for Come Back and Stay, I didn't find better sources and thought what I added was enough to improve the genre section of this article. I don't want to be involved in a genre war for this article. But again, if something's wrong about my edits, there is no reason to revert everything. Be a little bit bold and change what's wrong. It's not very difficult, is it ? There is enough editors who take care of pages to change details of pages, right ? From now on, simply respect my work, thank you. Synthwave.94 (talk) 13:02, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
- The problems were not only genre related and two editors tried to help you, but you simply reinstated the changes. Flat Out let's discuss it 13:13, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
- Synthwave has been very frustrating to deal with. He refuses to read policy or MoS pages he's directed to. His editing style is to make massive changes in a single edit (for example, here) in which there are maybe 25% useful changes. However, he'll also break templates and references, create MoS violations, and introduce WP:SYNTH problems. He then expects you to pick apart his massive edit to fix everything he broke, while leaving the 25% helpful intact. If you undo his changes, he'll just revert and re-introduce all the problems he created. Thus far at least different editors have tried talking to him, but he refuses to listen. --Laser brain (talk) 13:17, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
No, you're wrong, it's not a problem about reading those pages, it's a problem about how you see my edits. You won't say the singlecharts I created were useless, right ? It's not because I wrote "New wave" or "new wave" for example (which is, I'm sorry about it, the good capitalization) that you have the right to revert a huge edit as I did on Imagine. It's totally irrelevant and it's not these kind of edits which are harmful for articles, unlike vandalism. Synthwave.94 (talk) 13:46, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
This is one of those cases where I'm tempted to just block everyone. Certainly, Synthwave.94 has crossed the 3RR threshold, and that probably earned a block. But will someone explain to me what's wrong with this version? I certainly hope people aren't claiming "1" and "4" are MOS violations, because you have positions like 17 and 27 in the chart table, so it would be incorrect to write "one" and "four" (per MOS:NUM). I see improved citations and templated charts. I also see a reversion by Laser Brain with no edit summary. Please explain it to me.—Kww(talk) 14:52, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
- They are MoS violations. We write numbers from 0–9 out as words in prose (though not in tables). See for example the first sentence in the "Release and reception" section of "Under the Bridge". The song went to number one. The issue at hand here is that Synthwave makes huge numbers of edits in a single session and then expects other others to go clean up all the errors he introduces just to save the one useful thing he did. I've already asked him to break up his edits but he refuses, and maintains that other people should just clean up after him. As far as my revert without edit summary, I opted to leave him a Talk page message instead explaining my reverts since he seems to be a newer editor and may respond better to a more substantive explanation. --Laser brain (talk) 15:20, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

User simply blanks 100% of my contributions to the article, while refusing to discuss any problems he has on the talk page. He posted a few vague sentences and then gave up.

Talk:Toledo Express Airport - Have attempted to engage them in discussion before making changes, but user refuses to discuss and immediately reverts items back - even after additional updates have been done.
Comments:
User appears to simply go around from page to page deleting content that they consider to be too detailed or wordy. Have attempted to engage in discussion but they refuse to stop editing. Today made some changes to clean up the wording on the article, but the user again returned and deleted even more content from the page that is detailed and specific to the article. Dfw79 (talk) 16:24, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
Updated as user has made another reversion today eliminating key/specific information that has been sourced and added to the page. Dfw79 (talk) 17:41, 2 August 2013 (UTC) Warned. Both of you are edit warring, although neither has breached WP:3RR. One key difference, though, is Dfw79 has made an effort to discuss the content dispute, whereas Tim Zukas has not. For that reason, I have warned Tim that if he continues to revert without discussion or consensus, he risks being blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:18, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
- Bbb23 - Understand your findings completely. Is alright to go ahead and revert the unacceptable changes (leaving those that we agree on the talk page are acceptable), or should I wait until tomorrow to avoid crossing over into 3RR territory? Just need to know how to proceed right now. Thanks. Dfw79 (talk) 00:34, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
- You should leave the article alone and continue the discussion on the talk page until you reach a consensus. It's not just 3RR you have to be concerned about--Bbb23 (talk) 00:38, 3 August 2013 (UTC).
Update - Just reverted another edit by Tim Zukas with the summary of "One of these years you ought to try to give an example where your verbiage is needed:. I think we need to block to get them to discuss their changes. PantherLeapord|My talk page|My CSD log 11:58, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

User has not edited the talk page of the article yet, and claims to have been canvassed to edit the article by phone . Thargor Orlando (talk) 19:04, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
- That is four edits in three days. The dubious tag is used wrongly. The tag was placed on a direct quote by the media. There is nothing dubious about the fact they made the statement. If the statement they made is dubious to others then the sentence should be re-worded to reflect that. See: Template:Dubious#Incorrect_uses, incorrect use 1, "to directly challenge a sourced statement as being incorrect". This article is an incredible mess of POV by editors that are trying to fight the entire GMO controversy in one article about one protest. Editors have been accused of editing on the behalf of Monsanto, creating socks, etc. The phone call I got merely wondered why the material was flip-flopping every time the caller read it. He thought there may be outside influences trying to control a Misplaced Pages article. I didn't record the call but did receive permission to paraphrase it here. I will take it off my watchlist and not edit it further. It is doomed to remain a mess until Arbcom makes a decision. I am sorry for any inconvenience I have caused. I don't care about GMO in my food as I get free greens left at cemeteries and free meat from the SPCA. --Canoe1967 (talk) 19:38, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

You may also wish to justify calling a 40 year old magazine a lame source using the tag you replaced it with. Should I email editor@bostonmagazine.com for their input of your opinion on them?--Canoe1967 (talk) 21:09, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
Yep. There are 4 reverts starting at 13:18, 1 August 2013 another at 00:44, 2 August 2013 and another at 11:41, 2 August 2013, ending with the 4th revert at 11:49, 2 August 2013.

- 3RR applies to tags just as it does to changes in the text. It appears that User:Canoe1967 has reverted four times in 24 hours. This would normally call for a block. If the issue is so important that (in their mind) it justifies breaking 3RR it is unclear why they have not participated on the talk page. If Canoe1967 will agree to stay off the article for seven days, a sanction might be avoided. EdJohnston (talk) 22:38, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, I will agree to that. I think the article needs to go to Arbcom before it can be cleaned up anyways as was mentioned at ANI by more than one of us. You may wish to look over the talk page to see why many may wish to avoid it. I didn't get the call on the article until it was at ANI. I discussed it there at length.--Canoe1967 (talk) 06:05, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
- Result: User:Canoe1967 is warned for edit warring. They have agreed not to edit the March Against Monsanto article for 7 days but may still participate on the talk page. EdJohnston (talk) 15:41, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Attempt to resolve dispute on DRN: Report
Comments:
The context of this dispute goes back some months. The issue of whether blitzkrieg should be excluded from the article or not has been thoroughly debated. A DRN report was filed about a month ago and it ended without any solution about a day ago.
The consensus of secondary sources are in favour of characterizing the plan for Citadel as a blitzkrieg (see the DRN report titled "Battle of Kursk"). Editor consensus, however, are divided (see the DRN report). Initially Gunbirddriver (and two other editors) claimed the editor consensus with 3 against 1. Well after the DRN report, it is now primarily two editors that are still staunchly against it, whereas there are at least 4 editors now in support for it (see the DRN report).
The real problem here is that:
Gunbirddriver refuses to see this as a content-dispute. For the DRN report, he summarily categorized the dispute as a mere case of edit warring and misconduct, and showed little interest in participating in the resolution of this dispute from the perspective of a content-dispute.
OK granted, I once fell short of the MOS on wikilinks and even questioned those trying to correct me, but I later learned and concurred. However, I've had enough with Gunbirddriver to the extent that I can't help but become dismissive of anything he says unless they are explicitly backed up by a secondary or primary source. But then he thinks that is condescending. I'm simply calling a spade a spade, an opinion an opinion. I just think I've seen enough from Gunbirddriver to consider any secondary source superior to any his personal opinions. In this context, his accusation of rudeness and misconduct may have a grain of truth from his own perspective.
Anyways, the irresolution of this dispute is completely to his advantage, since irrespective of whatever is discussed, he can simply report any edit I make to WP:ANI as edit warring, and cite rudeness and misconduct to support his case. He already did it before and I was warned not to go against the (initial) 3 against 1 consensus until the DRN case is concluded. The DRN case concluded without reaching a solution, but the editor-consensus (based on numbers) shifted in favour of including blitzkrieg (see the DRN report). But it is not like that matters as much as what secondary sources say anyways. And there is a lot of support from secondary sources (see the DRN report). In the DRN, Gunbirddriver did not recognize it as a true content-dispute, which only helped to hinder the dispute resolution by practically making it impossible to discuss the real problem with him. I recently edited the article to reflect a somewhat more neutral ground on the issue – for example, I reduced "classic blitzkrieg" to just "blitzkrieg" and added more citations – but Gunbirddriver has continued to removed it. He refuses to deal with the issue in DRN and now insists on making reversions. I'm nearly out of options. I will also open up a discussion on the article talkpage and see if anything can be discussed. EyeTruth (talk) 21:47, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

Page: New Deal (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
User being reported: LesLein (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
At New Deal, this user has been engaged for months in a concerted effort to deflect article consensus. Although he has not run afoul of 3RR in the last few edits, his behavior appears to me to be characteristic of IDHT, slow edit warring, and POVPUSH.
I was involved as a WP:FRINGE/N volunteer in a dispute he brought there, in which he was asking if characterizing the New Deal as proto-fascist was a fringe view. There is extensive discussion there.
Other editors at New Deal have sought other intervention, including by ANI. Warnings have been placed on his Talk page previously by myself ( please see his response as well), and it appears that he has engaged in similarly disruptive editing on other pages (see also deleted talk page content).
After the FRINGE/N discussion I became involved in the dispute on the page.

Comments:
Although this might be characterized, as Carrite did, as a content dispute, I think this is a fairly clear example of a civil POVPUSHer. slow edit warring, lots of TL;DR posts, and lots of IDHT. Notably, LesLein was the one who solicited help on WP:FRINGE/N and then ignored it entirely, suggesting WP:FORUMSHOP.
I don't know whether the other editors have sought additional outside input (there is some indication they may have gone to WP:3O or perhaps others), and if not, why not. I think this editor clearly could use some help in figuring out what the community standards are and how to work within them. -- # _ 11:26, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
Comments:
This complaint should be dismissed with a warning against UseTheCommandLine because that editor makes many errors of omission and commission. They start with the second sentence. It reads: "Although he has not run afoul of 3RR in the last few edits, his behavior appears to me to be characteristic of IDHT, slow edit warring, and POVPUSH." "Last few edits" implies I violated 3RR recently. I violated it once late last year or early this year, the first time I heard of the rule. I must have made over 100 edits since then, not a "few."
UseTheCommandLine's next sentence reads: "I was involved as a WP:FRINGE/N volunteer in a dispute he brought there, in which he was asking if characterizing the New Deal as proto-fascist was a fringe view. There is extensive discussion there." Pass3456 brought the dispute to the noticeboard, not me. It is absurd to say that I would go to a noticeboard to accuse myself of pushing a fringe theory. Incidentally, I never said the New Deal was proto-fascist.
UseTheCommandLine resolved the noticeboard, finding that I was pushing a fringe theory. Shortly after that, Pass3456 went to the Admin noticeboard. Editor Drmies wrote about UseTheCommandLine's decision: " I'm going to strike my earlier comment, just having reread that FRINGE discussion, which was marked "resolved" by an editor who was seriously involved in that discussion." Indeed UseTheCommandLine edited a paragraph others criticized for being fringe.
The Admin 789 noticeboard was never formally resolved, but the consensus was overwhelming that my edits were not fringe. UseTheCommand line was wrong, explaining why I take his/her advice with a grain of salt.
Next: "After the FRINGE/N discussion I became involved in the dispute on the page."
I'm not clear which page this refers to, the fringe discussion article or the New Deal article. If it is the latter, UseTheCommandLine is wrong. This editor made New Deal article edits on March 6 and 7, which was during the fringe discussion (February 20 through March 12).
"Notably, LesLein was the one who solicited help on WP:FRINGE/N and then ignored it entirely, suggesting WP:FORUMSHOP." Again, it was Pass3456 who went to two noticeboards; I never did. UseTheCommandLine should know better. This editor is being sloppy and negligent in presenting facts. The reason my edits are often long is because I have to document these types of errors. I move slowly because I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to Wiki. Also, I am the accused to I think that I am entitled to make long responses.
My edits since the March noticeboard discussions were intended to help reach a compromise. My edits on the New Deal and communism lead to a substantial improvement. The fascism subarticle is almost completely onesided. I am trying to establish a NPOV, which "means representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without bias, all of the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic." Take the difference UseTheCommandLine links to regarding the Supreme Court striking down key New Deal legislation. There is a block quote from FDR where he denies violating rights. I added material indicating that the Supreme Court ruled that the NRA violated the last amendment in the Bill of Rights. To me, NPOV means that editors must permit Roosevelt's claim to be challenged. It is a fact that FDR prosecuted and jailed a few people under a law later found to be unconstitutional.
Wiki's policy is "Consensus among a limited group of editors, at one place and time, cannot override community consensus on a wider scale." I think the real problem is a case of information suppression. I have been considering going to the NPOV noticeboard about this. Editors in the subarticle go to great lengths to exclude information they don't like. They make up rules (go to the New Deal talk page and search for quotations), engage in wikihounding, behave inconsistently, make personal attacks, and provide inaccurate information. I was planning on inserting a "Failed Verification" tag because some current information contradicts the citation.
As far back as last January I went to Rjensen’s talk page to ask a question. Rjensen replied in part, “No scholar says Italy had any impact whatever on any New Deal programs.” Rjensen went on to say that “FDR never praised Mussolini and often used him as an evil example 'we do not like Mussolini the dictator’ he said in 1926, although he said that should not be a reason to oppose a debt deal with Italy."
According to John Diggins and James Q. Whitman (both prominent scholars), FDR told a White House correspondent in 1933 “that I am keeping in fairly close touch with that admirable Italian gentleman.” FDR later wrote to Ambassador Breckinridge in Italy “There seems to be no question that is really interested in what we are doing and I am much interested and deeply impressed by what he has accomplished and by and his evidenced honest purpose of restoring Italy.” According to Diggins, “even as late as 1939 … Roosevelt could still look back on Il Duce’s regime with some sympathy.” One of the New Deal’s first initiatives was to set up a commission to study fascist de-urbanization programs.
I can cite plenty of similar examples. I think fair-minded people can understand why I often ignore this type of information from other editors.
I'm sorry for the length, but UseTheCommandLine makes too many errors to ignore. I believe that this editor's behavior here is very inappropriate. Thank you. LesLein (talk) 14:42, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
Update -- Regarding the FDR block quote in the New Deal article, FDR stated privately that some of his economic policies were based on policies of Germany, Italy, and Russia. Editors won't permit me to include FDR's own words. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LesLein (talk • contribs) 14:54, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

There is an active discussion on the Article's talk page which joe ignored and has reverted twice source citations that have been in the article for over a month without addressing the root issue. After noticing a long history of edit waring and civility admin blocks against Joefromrandb it seems pretty clear where this will end up. I request the page be restored and protected so the sources can be corrected and the page improved and that Joe be blocked again for is bad faith edits and reverts.

- (Non-administrator comment) WP:BRD is clear on how this situation works - you're bold, if someone else reverts, you may not simply re-add, ever ... you begin to discuss immediately to obtain WP:CONSENSUS. Jgeddis, you appear to have made some changes that are not accepted by the community yet. Indeed, you appear to be removing or tagging certain types of information. Making "sock" allegations without filing an WP:SPI is uncivil, and there's certainly insufficient requirement to protect the page if ALL parties follow WP:BRD appropriately.

I have porposed an acceptable revision that takes the mean ground - as visible in the current version link above. But the user seems set on basing all content on a single speculative piece. In accordance with Wiki regs it is appropriate to summarise and not speculate. The latest version as above does so, yet the user is overtly concerned with parties that have a vested interest in removing information based on their past activities on Wiki. Please block their editing. User then attempted to disguise identity by signing out and using 180.191.45.91 to mask edits. Please block that also.

Comments:
The editor has been edit warring at a number of articles since they registered on 2013-07-13. Diffs probably aren't necessary since the behavior is clear from Special:Contributions/Breenhill. They have received multiple warnings (see User talk:Breenhill), none of which have had an effect on their behavior. They have not responded to any of the warnings or made any attempt to open a discussion on a talk page. Their edits have focused on repeatedly removing reliably sourced content from SIL International (11 times) and Wendy Wright (activist) (9 times) (and at Focus on the Family among others). The apparently agenda driven nature of their edits suggest that there is a conflict between their personal beliefs and Misplaced Pages's rules. There's no evidence that they are willing or able to stop edit warring. WP:NOTHERE probably applies but something needs to be done to stop them edit warring.
