Violations

User:Maveric149

Three revert rule violation on Template:Spoken Misplaced Pages. Mav keeps either reverting to a version of the template without the [[Misplaced Pages: link or reverting to a version in which it's external:

• First at 8:43
• Second at 12:22
• Third 13:41
• Fourth 14:21

Each time, Mav has commented on the talk page, but has not waited for input from others before carrying out the changes. There is no clear consensus on the talk page for his version. Demi /_C 23:52, 2005 Apr 22 (UTC)

It's not completely clear if those are all reverts, but if not they seem to be gaming it. He doesn't like the way it is, so he starts by changing it incrementally. Someone else reverts back. He then changes it more, and now his didn't count as a revert but the person reverting it has fewer reverts left. Is this as bad of a loophole with the 3RR as I see it as? --SPUI (talk) 00:05, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Not really if it clear someone is gaming the rule they are likey to be blocked as if they had done more than 3 straight reverts.Geni 00:42, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

In my opinion, it's clear, they just aren't all reversions to the same version (with respect to what's in the bottom link of the template). Demi /_C 01:05, 2005 Apr 23 (UTC)

Ah, I missed how the second one was a revert. For reference, the others are first third fourth; it appears that the only changes between these revisions were added by others along the way, making them all partial reverts. Looks like a pretty clear 3RR vio now. --SPUI (talk) 01:39, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

User:JonGwynne

Three revert rule violation on Temperature record of the past 1000 years (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views).

Note: JG is subject to a 1-revert per day limit on article related to global warming, see Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/JonGwynne. Note further that JG has had repeated 3RR bans in the past and violated this one per day limit on 20 Apr. (above). JonGwynne (talk · contribs):

• Phrase insertion:
• 1st revert:
• 2nd revert:

Reported by: Vsmith 01:37, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Comments: The first was his original change in which he added the phrase indirectly reconstructed to the image caption. The reverts are not labeled as such, but are indeed reverts as he continues to game the system with small repeated edit changes. Vsmith 01:37, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

You're wrong. Unlike you, I label my reverts as such.--JonGwynne 20:38, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Reported by: Noisy | Talk 16:18, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC)

Comments:

• User seems unable to accept that other users may have additional benefits to bring to the page. Has been reverted by at least three users. This seems to be the only page that the user edits, and therefore it is "owned".

The comment is false. I enjoy every bit of information that can be added to the page. Noisy's reverts deleted text I added, which benefits the page. I've requested for Noisy to discuss changes on the talk page many times in the past few weeks, but this entry of the 3RR is the only comment he has made on the talk page. Noisy has violated the 3RR, but I chose to try to dicuss it with him rather than block him. I've added other content to other pages; this one is just of a more active interest -- it's my family not my page. - Mr. Ballard 18:11, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

User:Lantog

Three revert rule violation on Queer theory (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Lantog (talk · contribs):

• 1st revert: 14:55
• 2nd revert: 18:44
• 3rd revert: 19:08
• 4th revert: 19:24
• 5th revert: 20:27

Reported by: AlexR 17:52, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Comments:

• Lantong maintains that the article states that John Money is part of queer theory - which the article does not. Hence he keeps removing that paragraph; in the past he also insisted of removing other bits of the article . He also claims to be an "expert" on the subject (don't we know that phenomenon) and clearly voices his intention to make this article his personal property: " I cannot begin expanding, until it is settled -- if not by "consensus" than by fact ...". Seth Ilys did not want to block him, see talk page, but I disagree; given his past behaviour, he needs to see a STOP sign before things get worse.
  • I left him a warning on his talk page and on Talk:Queer theory. He has clearly violated the 3rr, but as he has at least started talking, I felt like blocking him would only escalate the situation, and so I did not. Anyone other admin, of course, may, under WP policy. - Seth Ilys 17:56, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • I did not want to criticize Seth Ilys, I merely disagree. No offense intended. -- AlexR 18:03, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I've offered on numerous occassions to engage AlexR in dialogue ... requesting quotes, texts, specific references to the use of a reputed "serious researcher" Dr. John Money in relation to queer theory. So far, none have been offered. AlexR has used his admin status to bully not only myself but others, see his talk page for some illustration. A good bit of my editing involved moving paragraphs from one section to another to allow more flow to the article. I admit to removing content involving Dr. Money, as well as prostitution, as none of these subjects have been made to connect to queer theory through use of any specifics. Further, as the talk discussion shows, the use of Dr. Money as a source for the article remains offensive.--Lantog 18:45, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I am not an admin. I have not bullied him, nor any other. He refuses to address any points made, instead cluttering the talk page about his seemingly infailable status as an "expert". Oh, yes, and he reverted a 5th time. -- AlexR 19:09, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Note: JG is subject to a 1-revert per day limit on article related to global warming, see Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/JonGwynne. Note further that JG has had repeated 3RR bans in the past; and been banned just recently for a similar vio. JonGwynne (talk · contribs):

• 1st revert: 16:30, 22 Apr 2005 (this removes 1/2 a para)
• 2nd revert: 20:28, 22 Apr 2005 (removes the whole para, hence a revert)
• 3rd revert: 20:08, 23 Apr 2005 (same as 2, hence second revert in 24h)

• the revert at 22.26 isn't a direct revert.I'm not sure about this one Geni 03:27, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • None of the reverts listed occured at 22:26 (you mean 20:26?). I'm confused, it seems like an obvious 3RR violation except perhaps that Gabrielsimon thinks this is vandalism. BrokenSegue
    • 16:10, 23 Apr 2005 is also a revert
    • I don't see how he could honestly believe it's vandalism, as the text I restored was the original text and had been there for a while, it wasn't something I added to be snarky or anything. I'm sure he called it vandalism because I've been removing his vandalism to my talk page and decided to accuse me of doing what he was doing elsewhere. All the examples above are direct reverts. DreamGuy 04:38, Apr 24, 2005 (UTC)
  • no 02.26 (GMT) it the one lable 20.26 (down with time zones). there are a couple of other changes there as well as the deletion. Geni 04:37, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • He made a couple of changes that I reverted along with the main one, but his next act was to revert to one of his edits. The fact that he reverted to one without those other changes he also did doesn't make it any less of a revert. All of the reverts above do the same thing: go back to an earlier version where he had removed a point he disagrees with. DreamGuy 04:50, Apr 24, 2005 (UTC)

Three revert rule violation on Joan of Arc.

• 3rd revert: 19:29, 24 Apr 2005

Reported by: Mr. Ballard 03:49, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Comments:

• The anonymous user has failed to discuss the changes even when the page is under dispute as specifically ask for discussion. The reverts appear more as a personal attack to undo information that may benefit the page, like mere citations and other forms of popular names for Joan of Arc. I've pleaded not to revert the references section that contain the citations many times over the past week. The anonymous user tends to specifically target my changes, as well as others. The reverts, like the IJAS link, appear to be quick and without thought compared to its intended fix.
