Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning:

I Contacted the editor himself, and I tried to report him to an administrator.

Comments:
This editor constantly puts poorly sourced and badly written content which he claims the following things on the Article Summary.

Officially, Since 2006, USA is funding Anti-Regime groups in Iran According to Russian State tv, these protests were planned and they called it a Western Media propaganda. Iranian Officials accused Western Media for giving 24x7 intense coverage to these protests. Some Iranian Officials called these protests were planned by CIA

He also removes references to Neda Agha Soltan, who is a crucial part of the protests, from the summary and argues makes ridiculous arguments to his summaries that Fox News is wrong or HRW is not explicitly state that the government was responsible.

I told him to stop it, but instead, he starts debating with me over whether or not Neda (who was a symbol of the protest) was actually killed by pro government forces, or whether the protesters in other cities were even Iranian, then he accuses me of being Anti-Iranian and he threatens to have me blocked for Vandalism. His editing is disruptive, he is using the summary of the page to promote Pro-Iranian Government Conspiracy theories, and this guy clearly does not understand that Wikpedia is most certainly not the place for philosophical debates or fringe discussions. Rezashah4 (talk) 15:53, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

• Page protected – there appears to be a content dispute on the page. Consider dispute resolution. Both parties have clearly broken 3RR here, but I think it's best to protect it instead of blocking. Mark Arsten (talk) 20:53, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

a/c to HumanRightsWatch, "Neda Agha was several kilometers away from protests, she was struck in a traffic jam, and there were no Basij forces when she was killed". a/c to FoxNews,CNN etc. "She was going to protest and she was killed by Basij". a/c to FoxNews,CNN "1st chemical attack in Syria was carried out by Assad" , but a/c to UN report it was rebels who carried out that attack. I believe HumanRights,United Nations reports are more authentic then Corporate lies. Whenever i mention Russian,Iranian point of view Rezashah4 removed it. Why cant you make article neutral by mentioning both point of views? Why only American point of view is important? SpidErxD (talk) 16:12, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

• Can you explain to me how you are not also edit warring? Both of you are doing a terrible job explaining your reverts and neither of you are discussing the issue. The reference you are providing only says that some people went to the National Academy of Direct Taxes for a three-day training course, which is not what you are writing in the article text.

Comments:
While Clock 12:13 "only" has made 3 reverts in Kunchacko Boban filmography and 3 reverts in Kunchacko Boban within the last 24 hours, the former article has been merged into the latter within these 24 hours, essentially making it 6 identical reverts without talk page discussion. Attempts by TheRedPenOfDoom and myself to engage Clock 12:13 in further talks have been met with silent deletions on his own talk page. Sam Sailor 14:46, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

note that it has become pretty obvious that Clock 12:13 is merely another sock from the Mealwaysrockz007 drawer. A case has been filed: Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Mealwaysrockz007 -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:17, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Clock 12:13 returned only to make the 03:42, 26 October 2013 revert in Kunchacko Boban (added to diff list above). That's a clear 4th revert in the article within 24 hours. Sam Sailor 08:56, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Only if you count the edit on 25 October at 11:28 UTC as a revert. As far as I can tell, that edit was, with minor trivial exceptions, additions to the filmography. I can see that the filmography has bounced around a bit, but it doesn't look like what Clock added had been removed before. If you can point to a diff where it was, then the edit would count as a revert, and they would have breached WP:3RR.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:36, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

@Bbb23: The reverts they make to the filmography table are 100% identical. I assume this is obscured by the fact that all above diffs are not identical in size. Solution: Take the filmography from Revision as of 11:28, 25 October 2013 of Kunchacko Boban and the filmography from Revision as of 16:37, 24 October 2013 of Kunchacko Boban filmography and compare them in a file editor and you will see that they are identical. I can copy-paste to two sandbox files so you can run Dupdet, if that makes life easier. --Sam Sailor 16:15, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

The ANI discussion is about a pattern of disruptive editing by Virgosky involving several articles and more than edit warring. This discussion is about a single WP:3RR violation which happened after I opened that discussion. HelenOnline 17:59, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

• Note. As noted by the participants, there's been a discussion at ANI, and an administrator locked the article. I'm not going to (preemptively) block Virgosky based on Helen's fear that they will continue the war after the lock has expired.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:05, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

User:Bowlhover reported by User:Baseball Bugs (Result:)

The user is edit-warring over a section in Misplaced Pages:Reference desk/Humanities.

I don't want him blocked.

I just want an admin to tell him to STOP IT!

Thank you. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 23:05, 26 October 2013 (UTC) ‎

See Misplaced Pages:RDH#Sweden. This user, Baseball Bugs, has persistently and blatantly violated WP:SOAP to carry on a debate on US politics that no relevance to the OP's question. He continued adding to the debate even after it had been put under a "hat" tag. I therefore deleted the vitriolic debate so that the OP's question can get more attention.

The only two editors that have expressed any objection are Baseball Bugs and User:Medeis, both of whom were participants in the debate and were therefore violating both Misplaced Pages and Reference Desk policy. Medeis, it should be noted, also reverted my hatting of the debate before another editor agreed with me and re-imposed the hat.

I've raised this issue on the talk page, inviting any non-participant in the debate to revert my deletion. Medeis replied with "There's a good consensus we don't delete remarks except for personal attacks, BLP violations, req's for medical advice (in which case a template is used), and egregious trolling, not a long-multiple user thread". In the immediately preceding section of the talk page, this same user said about a user's questions, "I am not sure what you want to call the 'questions' on cancer closed by andy the grump. Given the OP won't stop opening them I have deleted them." Clearly, since Medeis doesn't know what to call the questions, he/she does not know that they fulfill his own criteria for deletion, but proceeded to delete them anyways. --Bowlhover (talk) 00:49, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

:Now that the editor has decided to talk instead of just blindly reverting, you all can probably close this section down. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 01:00, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

These shenanigans have gone on long enough. It is time for action. 94.68.228.99 (talk) 01:06, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

• Please also note Bowlhover is quoting non-existent policy about editors not editting or opining on a thread they have participated in. Given it's his behavior that is at question here (and is now continuing through proxy) I am confused as to what the point of random diffless accusations against me from other times and places is, other than to show Bowlhover seems to think he is morally justified in edit warring. I am not sure if anyone here can do an SPI, but it seems warranted given the IP's fortuitous sudden appearance. μηδείς (talk) 01:13, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

You and Buggs request for admin action will bring scrutiny on both of you for your editing behavior as well. 94.68.228.99 (talk) 01:16, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Certainly. We're stand-up guys. You, on the other hand, are hiding behind a brand-new IP. Which, by the way, I've reported for attempted impersonation of the user Bowlhover. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 01:17, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

94.68.228.99 is a troll, not affiliated with me in any way. If the differences in writing style don't make this clear, please do a SPI. --Bowlhover (talk) 01:40, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
