    Welcome to the edit warring noticeboard Shortcuts Update this page

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

    You must notify any user you have reported.

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


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

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

    Definition of edit warring
    Edit warring is a behavior, typically exemplified by the use of repeated edits to "win" a content dispute. It is different from a bold, revert, discuss (BRD) cycle. Reverting vandalism and banned users is not edit warring; at the same time, content disputes, even egregious point of view edits and other good-faith changes do not constitute vandalism. Administrators often must make a judgment call to identify edit warring when cooling disputes. Administrators currently use several measures to determine if a user is edit warring.
    Definition of the three-revert rule (3RR)
    An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Violations of this rule normally attract blocks of at least 24 hours. Any appearance of gaming the system by reverting a fourth time just outside the 24-hour slot is likely to be treated as a 3RR violation. See here for exemptions.

    Sections older than 48 hours are archived by Lowercase sigmabot III.

    Twinkle's ARV can be used on the user's page to more easily report their behavior, including automatic handling of diffs.

    Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:

    Comments: Scalhotrod repeatedly edit wars over sourcing issues in pornography-related articles, not because of any good faith disputes over content but in order to discourage other editors from enforcing basic BLP and RS requirements. This is the third example of such disputes with me in the last ten days or so. The two immediately prior examples were Tera Patrick (obviously false claim added with no sourcing, then without reliable sourcing) and Rebecca Bardoux (extensive promotional content without reliable sourcing, extensive copyvio text). In this case the disputed text claims a particular porn video has "high production values", even though the cited source says nothing related to production values. In each dispute, Scalhotrod does not defend his edits substantively, but employs uncivil (at best) edit summaries,sometimes including personalized insults or personal attacks;

    • "Useless, lazy Editor refuses to AGF and check references on their own, prefers own personal knowledge of porn" (Tera Patrick dispute, 31 Aug)
    • "No substantiation given for claims made, this amounts to WP:IDONTLIKEIT, article cleaned up" (Rebecca Bardoux dispute, 5 Sept)
    • "Clearly you don't understand the term (current dispute, today)

    He also has developed the inappropriate habit of marking later reverts in such disputes as minor, perhaps to disguise their import or to keep them from appearing on some watchlists.

    I don't believe this is good faith editing. Scalhotrod and another editor were topic-banned at AE after an acrimonious dispute, and I believe he's trying to provoke me into precipitating a similar mutual topic ban here. The long-running porn sourcing/notability disputes admittedly tries the community's patience, but the level of nastiness and rancor has ratcheted up a notch or five after the "overwhelming" consensus achieved late last year to significantly tighten up porn biographies. I suspect Scalhotrod would count it a victory for his "side" in that morass if both of us were topic-banned, and trying to goad another into such a situation is intolerable and illegitimate, even if he skates along the 3RR line without ever quite breaking it. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 19:57, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

    Response from Scalhotrod

    This dispute seems to stem from a recent issue that was discussed at ANI (here) where the accuser made edits to a BLP article that the article's subject (in this case the Rebecca Bardoux herself) not only objected to, but then publicly commented about on her radio show (at the 27:40 mark) and on her Facebook page . She and others (I assumed her fans and supporters) maligned Misplaced Pages as a result over August 27th and 28th. It's my opinion based on recent events and our collective past that this dispute is an attempt at retribution by HW for the ANI posting. On their Talk page, this User has accused me of making racist accusations and being a paid editor (along with a perceived attempt at revealing my personal information) and when asked to substantiate the claim, would not do so

    Furthermore, the accuser admitted that this is not the first time that he has made edits to an article knowing about objections from article's subject

    And speaking of edit warring, the Rebecca Bardoux article involved a series of reversions by the accuser:

    The accuser used a variety of claims such as "unsourced" and then "sockpuppetry" and finally calling it "promotional" in this article too.

    To the point of the issue at hand. That said, I may have a bias or just benefit from actual experience or perspective as I have worked in the Entertainment industry as well as have friends and relatives that are Producers, Directors, Writers, and Performers. So when I read a source that talks about an emerging technology (the use of 3D) in a production which has not traditionally used such a technology (adult films) and then goes on to make a statement about the costs of such a production technique ("Created by Hustler's studio arm... ...is apparently the most expensive movie the studio has ever produced."), IMO summarizing these statements with the phrase "production values" is not a stretch its just accurate use of vocabulary. I do not think it requires formal education in film-making to understand that the cited article, even though it does not explicitly use the phrase "production values", is entirely about just that.

    References

    Without difs, I can't address the claim about "minor edits". I use the marker when it seems appropriate.

    In the accuser's defense, he does make edits to a large number of BLP article and many of those edits are what I consider good edits that either remove truly questionable content (common sense versus the accuser's personal opinion) or improve the overall quality of the article, but the vast majority are the former as this Editor does not seem to contribute much content to Misplaced Pages. Although the accuser changed their pattern recently with regard to the a fore mentioned Tera Patrick article .

    But, this Editor in their zeal (or what I referred to as "fanaticism" at ANI) to strictly uphold BLP policy seems to forget the 5th pillar, understand that there are no absolutes, and that policies and guidelines may apply differently from field to field and industry to industry based on available sources. As one User observed about the Rebecca Bardoux article, "It's impossible to write an article about a professional entertainer without talking about their careers and what they do..." In this regard, why would someone object to a statement (and then revert it) when the problem seems to be that they do not understand the vocabulary of the subject?--Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 17:29, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

    • Are you referring to production costs? Because production values seems to make little sense, and seems original research. And further, keeping the article being reported in context, why haven't you gone to the talk page to enter into discussions about this issue? Please enter into discussions with Hullaballoo on the talk page of the article in a congenial manner instead of reverting. You have to do that to avoid getting blocked. Can you manage to do that from this point onwards? Wifione 18:14, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
    • Production values refer to the quality of a production, does this include expense, of course. It also includes how its made (technology used, costuming, casting, etc.). Wiktionary has this definition: "(film, performing arts) plural form of production value; the combined technical qualities of the methods, materials, or stagecraft skills used in the production of a motion picture or artistic performance." How the interpretation of the reference I cited would be considered WP:OR, I'm not quite sure. IMO it simply involves an understanding of the term, maybe this makes it a good candidate for its own article.
    • As for discussion, sure, happy to, this has been my method in the past. HW and I interact on quite a few articles, but the "parody" one was an exception, not the norm and probably why HW saw the opportunity to bring it here. But in any given circumstance when HW is BOLD with a deletion and then someone REVERTs, he usually claims that the onus is on the reverting party to start a DISCUSSion on the Talk page, WP:BRD. And when there is discussion, congenial is not how I would describe HW's comments.
    • Do you have any opinion or comment on what happened in the Rebecca Bardoux article given the difs above and the ANI discussion? --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 16:32, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
    • Your clarification of the term production values is sensible enough. Your mistake has been to repeatedly revert without participating in the talk page discussion that Hullaballoo started. Blocks are exceptional events for an editor; therefore, your reasoning that your non-participation on the talk page was an exception, is accepted only as an exception, given the fact that you've started discussing on the talk page of the article. Be careful the next time you enter a revert sequence without opening up discussions on the talk page or participating in discussions started by other editors. I have no opinions about the article you mention as the issue in hand in this thread is your reverting behaviour in one particular article. Take care and be careful in future. Wifione 19:16, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
    • Well, it may sound sensible, but it doesn't rest on any reasonable factual basis. Just plugging the same analysis into other contexts -- the most expensive late-career Ed Wood film, say, or the most expensive Tom Baker episode of Doctor Who -- would come with a pretty silly conclusion. And I don't think there are any reasonable folks out there who associate Hustler with good production values to begin with, so even if we accept that spending more on a video increases its production values, "better" production values than the Hustler norm hardly translates into even "good" production values by general standards, let alone "high production values". In general, it is better to use sources who have actually seen the video to assess its production values -- and in this case, the better sources are quite caustic about the video's low quality. Our porn-related sourcing is already bad enough, and lowering the bar further to allow commentary like this on a video based on sources who haven't seen it should be plainly unacceptable. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 16:55, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
    • Fair enough, thank you for the explanation. For the sake of clarification in the future, in a similar instance when content is deleted and then the deletion reverted, whose responsibility is it to start the Talk page discussion? If the User who originally deleted the content, reverts (deletes it again) I would reasonably assume the responsibility to be theirs, am I correct? Or is it the responsibility of the User who restored the deleted content (1st revert) to start the discussion (assuming its not vandalism)? --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 16:39, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
    I just reread the WP:BRD page and spotted this, "Note: The first person to start a discussion is the person who is best following BRD." Forget my question, I'll use this as my guide in the future... :) --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 20:34, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

If there is another revert war, come back, otherwise I would not block Reverse polish right now. Jonathan, please also note that you yourself may be blocked for 3RR if you continue reverting without heeding the three revert rule.. So be extremely careful from this point onwards.

    Multiple users have reverted his edits but he insists on keeping his view in the article. Multiple warnings for edit warring and article ownership have been ignored, discussion on article talk page didn't help either. After discussion did not support his view he stopped discussion and kept restoring his view over and over. Multiple reverts are not listed here but available in the article history, multiple discussion attempts on the article talk page. --Denniss (talk) 09:59, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

    I'm one of those multiple users. Once JR became aware of the 3RR "bright line" he slowed down his reverts, but it is the same material being inserted once or twice a day instead of three times a day. This is kind of frustrating - obviously we don't want to bite the new editor too much, but when several editors keep on deleting the same material citing policy (WP:WEIGHT, mainly) and we keep on seeing the same stuff put back in day after day, there's a lesson that is not being learnt. Airbus A350 XWB has some of the same sort of behaviour. I'm getting the feeling that this editor has a role in one of the American jet engine companies and knows his material, but he's just not working within the community. --Pete (talk) 10:25, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

    For my part, I've explained my edits and the sources on the Talk page, but Pete always responds with a vague "Synthesis" or "does not match the sources". Pete does not even want to bother finding sources to support his/her position, instead claiming that the article is fine as it is. A central part in my dispute is that I have one sentence attributing the A340 cancellation to the 777-300ER (due to the several sources), and a separate sentence for the A330 (which only has one vague source). The other editors involving in the edit warring, such as Denniss, have not responded on the Talk page. As for Airbus A350 XWB, User:Wolbo was removing sourced material but it was now settled. Lastly, the charge that I work with an American jet engine company is a cheap shot by Pete, as he has been ignoring the references I found to back my contribution. JacksonRiley (talk) 15:46, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

    • Page protected – there appears to be a content dispute on the page. Consider dispute resolution. While I'm foxed at why multiple editors with considerable editing experience are rejecting the Bloomberg reference being provided by JacksonRiley (I must be missing the elephant in the room; please do tell me if it's there), I'm protecting the article until consensus can be worked out on the talk page. Jackson, try dispute resolution; take this to WP:DRN to get more views if you wish; but till you get consensus, your change is not happening, so don't try it or you will be blocked for disruptive editing in the future once the article is unprotected. And please realise that I'm telling this despite believing your Bloomberg reference holds considerable weight. Pete, Skyring, Jackson, et al, come back if you believe consensus has been reached or you need any other additional assistance. Wifione 18:16, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
    I have been watching this debate mostly from afar. From that vantage point I think the problem is that many people are uncomfortable with the new additions concentrating on the 777 being the (major?) cause of the A340's cancellation. While this has some grain of of truth, I also believe that it should not be overstated and that user JacksonRiley is pushing a particular POV that is not really supported by the breadth of analysis available. Oil prices, gradual ETOPS extensions, a general and ongoing imporvement in the specifications of all 2 engines aircraft and the "two engines good" "four engines bad" situation that has developed are all generic factors affecting the A340 cancellation decision.
    I would prefer the original more neutral text is retained. Andrewgprout (talk) 01:58, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

    Editors argument is that the term "seminal" is subjective and so inappropriate. Multiple editors have disagreed and reverted, including myself who has also shown sources (discredited in the eyes of VGH as "marketing sources") that describe Elite as seminal. VGH has also used bad faith - and inaccurate - accusations in edit summaries ("reverted vandalism of undoing several changes at once without adding specific reasons, also missing edit summary"). Editing behaviour is to not use "revert" but manual edits, and a boiler-plate edit summary. Chaheel Riens (talk) 10:13, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

    I entered a few Bibliography entries into this page last night, hoping to work on the content this morning using sfn-style references. I then noticed that AmritasyaPutra deleted the Bibliography entries claiming that they were "irrelevant" and referred to some policy pages in the edit summary. I opened a discussion on the talk page about why I am using Bibliography, which he did not participate in. I noticed that he was doing edits of his own. When he was finished, I took his text, converted it to the sfn-style references and added an expanded History section to the page. He kept reverting my contribution, which included not only the Bibliography entries but also the section I added. I then counted the reverts and noticed that I had done 3 and he had done 4.

    AmritasyaPutra has been doing a lot of reverts on all the pages he has been involved, including ones I have been involved in. I have been repeatedly begging him to engage in discussions on the Talk page and dispense with trigger-happy reverts. It has been falling on deaf ears.

    I am extremely sorry for unknowingly violating the rules. I promise I won't repeat this. I got the message after undoing the edits by Nirmalya1234 whom I believe is the same person who edited it earlier. I undid the edit as the edits are unproven defamatory statements against an elected MP and editor of a newspaper from another news report by Anandabazar Patrika which is being challenged now in court thus I request the other editor to wait till the verdict or further reports come out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MehulWB (talkcontribs) 18:14, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

    Comments:

    I have tried to update the article to reflect the present tense usage since the product is still in use and also to remove a sentence that is using a source inappropriately to suggest that something was once high tech, but no longer isn't, but the above user simply keeps reverting and posting bad faith generic warnings on my talk page without attempting to engage in genuine discussion. Laval (talk) 03:14, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

    Additional Clarification

    The top three reverts show clearly that I restored the following blanked information:

    At the time of its introduction the watch was considered high-tech.<ref name="Magazines1994">{{cite book|author=Hearst Magazines|title=Popular Mechanics|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=guMDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA44|accessdate=18 November 2012|date=November 1994|publisher=Hearst Magazines|page=44|quote=mong the more high-tech entries is Timex's Data Link. Developed in conjunction with software giant Microsoft and chip-maker Motorola, the Data Link allows you to easily transfer information from your computer to your watch. Specifically, you ...|issn=00324558}}</ref>

    As you can see the quote inside the reference fully supports the sentence that the watch was considered high-tech in its time. Laval kept blanking this fully cited fact and its fully quoted citation despite my warnings. I suggest he be blocked for disruptive editing and edit-warring except if he is excused due to WP:CIR. Δρ.Κ.  03:42, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

    Additional comment
    • Laval wrote in his report: and also to remove a sentence that is using a source inappropriately to suggest that something was once high tech, but no longer isn't,
    • Aside from the wrong grammar of the sentence above, Laval's claim is patently false. The sentence Laval was removing said:

      At the time of its introduction the watch was considered high-tech

    which is absolutely true because the review of the watch in the citation is from 1994 not 2014. I am the original author of the article btw and I know its referencing intimately. Δρ.Κ.  04:01, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
    Further analysis of Laval's edits
    • Here Laval moves up another citation immediately after the word "Microsoft", in violation of WP:REFPUNCT while erasing the sentence that "the watch was considered high-tech at its time" in violation of WP:BLANK. Laval's incompetent edit made the wiki code at the affected section have a ghastly placement of a redundant reference immediately after the wikilinked word "Microsoft" and even though there was another reference from the "Timex Corp. History" supporting the Microsoft connection just below the introductory sentence at the end of the same paragraph. Please see the bolded segments in the quotations below:

      The Datalink line was introduced in 1994 and it was co-developed with Microsoft<ref name="Magazines1994">{{cite book|author=Hearst Magazines|title=Popular Mechanics|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=guMDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA44|accessdate=18 November 2012|date=November 1994|publisher=Hearst Magazines|page=44|quote=mong the more high-tech entries is Timex's Data Link. Developed in conjunction with software giant Microsoft and chip-maker Motorola, the Data Link allows you to easily transfer information from your computer to your watch. Specifically, you ...|issn=00324558}}</ref> as a '']'' alternative to mainstream ]s with additional attributes such as water resistance, that PDAs lacked, and easy programmability.<ref name="Timex Corp. History">{{cite web|title=Timex Corporation History|url=http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/Timex-Corporation-Company-History.html|work=Funding Universe|publisher=Disqus|accessdate=15 July 2013|year=1999}}</ref>

      However moving the additional reference was not necessary because the article already had a reference supporting the Microsoft connection:

      The Datalink line was introduced in 1994 and it was co-developed with ] as a '']'' alternative to mainstream ]s with additional attributes such as water resistance, that PDAs lacked, and easy programmability.<ref name="Timex Corp.

      As you can see Datalink's Microsoft connection was already supported by "<ref name="Timex Corp. History">". Did Laval spot that before he started his blanking/edit-warring? I guess not. Δρ.Κ.  04:19, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
    Laval's claims of bad faith on my part
    • Laval said just above: but the above user simply keeps reverting and posting bad faith generic warnings on my talk page without attempting to engage in genuine discussion.
    • Engage in what discussion? Please check the timeline of Laval's reverts with lightning speed, which prevented any possibility of discussion:
    • 3:03, 15 September 2014‎ Laval (-571)‎ . . (then remove the sentence instead of constantly reverting me) (undo | thank)
    • 3:02, 15 September 2014‎ Dr.K. (talk | contribs)‎ (+73)‎ . . (Reverted 1 edit by Laval: No need to move the citation. It covers the information where it was. Violation of REFPUNCT. Please discuss instead of edit-warring.
    • 2:59, 15 September 2014‎ Laval (-73)‎ . . (that sentence was incorrect and took the source out of context)
    • 2:58, 15 September 2014‎ Dr.K. m (+73)‎ . . (Undid revision 625608492 by Laval One sentence was erased, wrong placement per WP:REFPUNCT)

    For his false accusations of bad faith on my part, his incompetent blanking and other disruption on the Datalink article and this spurious report against me, I think Laval should be blocked for disruptive editing and edit-warring. Δρ.Κ.  05:20, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Why wait for the two extremes, SPI and NOTHERE if temporary blocks can mitigate this problem somehow? SPI is also backlogged with a record 81 open cases. Also, technically speaking, an open SPI seems to make a sock 3RR-immune. This is not part of the 3RR policy, as far as I can tell. Thank you. Δρ.Κ.  17:34, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

    This user has been repeatedly attempting to edit the MoS guideline without establishing consensus first. I have created a RfC on his or her behalf (see above); however, this editor appears unwilling to engage in discussion, and instead is repeatedly reinstating his edit to the policy.

    I would be willing to accept a block as well, but I strongly recommend that the page be restored to its original state until this dispute can be resolved. This will require another editor to once again revert JHunterJ until the proposed change is discussed and consensus is reached. Augurar (talk) 16:51, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

    Further history. This dispute originally arose from a discussion on Talk:Dick regarding the linking of slang synonyms. After a compromise was reached on that page, JHunterJ modified the MoS page according to his interpretation of the guideline. When I noticed this, I reverted his change and attempted to initiate discussion on the talk page, but to no avail. I have repeatedly attempted to involve the larger Misplaced Pages community in this dispute, but have thus far been unsuccessful. Augurar (talk) 17:05, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
     Comment: @JHunterJ: hasn't violated 3RR. Users have to exceed 3 reverts for that block to happen. Dusti 19:23, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
    I am reporting this editor for edit warring behavior, not for specifically violating the 3RR. Despite my numerous efforts to engage in discussion and consensus-building, this editor has refused to seek consensus and instead repeatedly adds his proposed changes to the guideline. In my opinion, this constitutes tendentious editing and merits disciplinary action. Augurar (talk) 20:15, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
    That would be somewhat of an issue. Blocks are meant to be preventative, not punitive. An admin isn't going to come along and punish JHunterJ. If his edits are harmful to the project or are disruptive he may be blocked to protect the project, but I think you have the wrong interpretation of what a block is and what it's meant to do. Dusti 20:19, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
    I think a block may be justified, in that this editor's disruptive behavior is ongoing and shows no sign of stopping as far as I know. (For that matter, JHunterJ might consider my editing disruptive. His position seems to be that he was "clarifying" an existing policy, and I am interfering with this by attempting to discuss the changes.) Should I just keep reverting until the 3RR is breached? That doesn't seem efficient. Augurar (talk) 04:13, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
    And that post there is the most indicative of where a block may be justified. You appear to be intent on gaming the system to make sure you get your way. You are the single editor warring against at least two others. Your edit history starts back in May (and this MoS is hardly inactive; the project members saw it and understood), then jumps to your unilateral revert. Bkonrad explained that my edit was not unilateral, but that doesn't fit with your desired outcome, so is ignored (just like the explanation on the Talk page). -- JHunterJ (talk) 11:18, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

    This is ridiculous, User:VQuakr and user:Sayerslle are working as a team of bullying and claim that "RT is not a Reliable Source", shows their bias when they allow "sources" from the Saudi Dictatorship Propaganda organ Al Arabiya and the Qatari Dictatorship propaganda Organ Al Jazeera, not to mention all the references to Sofa "researchers" like Elliot Higgins/Brown Moses and his minion Dan Kaszeta, none of which have no credentials whatsoever. 212.181.160.22 (talk) 19:38, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

    RT is not regarded as a Reliable source for anything but the barest statements of what the Russian regime is saying as far as I know, it is widely regarded as a propagandist and controlled outlet - certainly on the Syrian civil war it is not a reliable source where the Putin regime is, with Iran and Hezbollah, most clearly aligned with the House of assad that has ruled Syria for more than 40 years - its links go way back to the soviet era - ' I believe in any case this ip should be blocked for far from being bullied is in afct the most awful bully, and given to the vile abuse of others , - calling Misplaced Pages ZionPedia and expressing himself thus - 'I have done that mr. peanut, I have made my case very clear, it's not my fault that some sorry soule with feces for brains Pushes for his/her Personal Russophobic agenda and pretends that RT is not a RS.' - I do not work 'as a team' with anyone -- you obviously have a very clear agenda , you, this ip address, sought to redirect a page on the journalist Christiane Amanpour to the page for 'prostitution' Christiane Amanpour ‎ (←Redirected page to Prostitution) - I believe you should be banned from wp as you are a poisonous presence. that's how I see it, anyhow.

    • Both editors blocked – for a period of 24 hours I ran into this while patrolling recent changes. I don't mean to be harsh, but I had every reason to believe both users were not going to stop. This war was going at a very high edit-rate, with only two parties involved I opted for blocks rather than page protection. — MusikAnimal 16:58, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

    Comments:
    I admit, I reverted myself things a few times without talk page - but a lot of editing has been going on where the 'misogynism' and 'harassment'-angle is being pushed by User:NorthBySouthBaranof, User:TaraInDC, User:Tarc and User:TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom with and without talking about it (and if talking about it, without consensus and a lot of times even just flaming/insulting others) while people have tried to represent both POVs in the article, corresponding to newer, other RSes - yet it's still being pushed for one POV. Considering I received ZERO feedback/comments on the Admin/Dispute pages and a few of them are even already archived due to the time period, I'm playing it this way.

    MicBenSte (talk) 16:48, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

    User:NorthBySouthBaranof is clearly edit warring, this is an ongoing problem-he was reported for this before, including violations of 3RR. Last time he avoided any reaction because the article was locked.If you look at the article's editing history, he clearly attempts to revert any edit not in line with his POV.

    --MyMoloboaccount (talk) 17:24, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

    Seems to be a bit of a shotgun approach to the situation. "MicBenSte" and "MyMoloboaccount" are just two single-purpose accounts among a throng that has recently arrived on-Misplaced Pages to do battle against the so-called "social justice warriors" over topics relating to sexism in the video game industry. Zoe Quinn, Anna Sarkeesian, and GamerGate have all seen numerous attacks over the last few weeks, attempt to insert blatant WP:BLP violations, the more egregious of which have hat to be oversighted. That so many experienced Wikipedians, most of whom have little to no prior involvement in video game articles, have rejected their edits should be a clear indication of where consensus lies on the matter, and how these SPAs are on the wrong side of it.
