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.

The user also received a warning previously for uncivil behaviour and is biased and is seemingly anti-Islamic. He/She has not listened to discussing it on the talk page and continues to revert and argue Luxure Σ 12:25, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

• Both editors blocked – for a period of 24 hours It is clear that User:Luxure is well aware of Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring, but has nevertheless continually edit-warred. (Apart from anything else, this report demonstrates awareness of the policy.) On the other hand, User:Yezohtz2 has never been warned about edit warring (the edits linked above under "Diffs of edit warring / 3RR warning" mention "unconstructive edits", "edits that appear disruptive", "reports that ... are UNCONFIRMED by law agencies", "remains unconfirmed", etc etc, but not edit warring) and I therefore would have merely warned Yezohtz2 had it not been for this edit in which he or she indicates an awareness of the fact that edit warring is unacceptable. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:16, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

JamesBWatson (talk) thank you for overseeing this complaint and I profusely apologise for any inconvience User:Luxure and I caused by this silly, trivial (I'm a maths guy too!) matter. We should have known better but it escalated quickly. Yezohtz2 (talk) 16:28, 17 December 2014 (UTC)4

@JamesBWatson: Do you see how this editor is being uncivil and insults me? He accuses me of being a Jihadi (both and on my talk page, saying that it is his business that I state my religion and nationality. I think (I'm not entirely sure) Misplaced Pages has a policy about good faith and no personal attacks. The editor has also been uncivil in the past. The user is also anti-Islamic. In 2 weeks it will be 2015. There is no place in today's world for people like this. I have had past experiences with editors like this before, even though it says on my userpage that I am Australian, I was accused of being a completely different ethnicity because I believed that the addition of one word made the paragraph POV. This escalated into a full edit war of personal attacks (in this instance I stopped after 3, I was a wary new editor.) If you really want to see what it escalated to, . Please note, it takes a while to load (Australian Internet). I was first accused of being a sockpuppet of another editor because I agreed with them, then another editor came and I was the puppeteer, and then I got reported to ArbCom for a technical mistake, and the editor who reported me didn't even consult me! I do not like to be insulted like this, and I can see this editor in the previous editors, claiming things with no evidence at all. Sorry for the rant, but you may want to consider what the user has said. Luxure Σ 00:16, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

I love being ignored. Luxure Σ 01:00, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

@Luxure: Luxure Σ I am neither pro-Islam or anti. I care about reliable sources and updating articles. Do you also? Or you are dictated in your editing by a pro-Islamic agenda? Refute the claim then. If you are not a Jihadi, why don't you refute the claim? You have had ample opportunity now to do so. And I withdrew calling you a Jihadi (see edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Misplaced Pages:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Edit_warring&diff=638511719&oldid=638510067) after consulting with Misplaced Pages's community and valuing the need for civil conversation. But personally, you have demonstrated a clear pro-Mohammedan agenda. Even after your nation of Australia was ruthlessly attacked by Islamic State, you have the nerve to demand pro-Islamism??? It can be argued that you have blood on your hands for whitewashing the Islamic terrorist 2014 Sydney hostage crisis. Yezohtz2 π 20:13, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

@Yezohtz2:You are delusional, if you truly think that. I don't want to know what gremlins hide under your bed. Also, thanks for copying my signature! You even included my particular affinity for Hellenic lettering. At least you like the signature of an apparent (to you) Jihadi! Luxure Σ 11:20, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Following no rules.

• First edit was not a revert, I would've tagged the last source as {{dubious}} as well, but the user may not be aware of it. While none of these concerns about the sources have been resolved, I would say that they must remain and the page should be protected as per my request on WP:RFPP that I had made half an hour ago. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 01:01, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Can you tell Justice if you are not edit warring? You are also using the most absurd references like blogspot. VandVictory (talk) 01:11, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

• 5 edits by VandVictory. Maybe new reference need more debate other references are part of RFC dispute why is he not discussion in RFC why is he tagwarring. ---TheSawTooth (talk) 01:20, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Justice has also made 5 edits and made false edit summaries, his intention was to remove tags so that these sources may sound real. RFC is not about the sources, it is about the validity of result. Discussion is there and you have equally failed to provide any explanations. VandVictory (talk) 01:25, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Justice has not done 5 revisions. You are making revision edits my friend. ---TheSawTooth (talk) 01:29, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

He is just edit warring without signing in. VandVictory (talk) 01:32, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Who? There are much IP and account users on this topic. ---TheSawTooth (talk) 01:34, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

• I asked user to undo revision but he has revised even more. I move that this user be stopped from editing for some time. ---TheSawTooth (talk) 01:27, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

• I am curious about this edit, must have been used by any one of the experienced editor who knew how to remove maintenance tags efficiently. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 01:29, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

• 8 of Justice, and he is still using fake edit summaries. VandVictory (talk) 01:36, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

• This is unbelievable editwar VaV is into with the IP and three editors; having done 15 reverts (he has also reverted my singleton restore of pre-edit war stable version). Blatantly against WP:EW... discussing or not, he and the IP have crossed all limits. FYI, justice did only two reverts and an unrelated new addition (not rv) and does not even live in Pakistan for the IP to be his.. atleast do some homework. I also suggest that VaV's version be plain out reverted before locking the page under IAR just to not give him the satisfaction of getting his version locked in (an obvious thing to happen with so many editors involved), though a block of VaV and the IP will make an equal, perhaps better, argument. To note further in favour of the latter option, the article wasn't under editwar anymore even with contentious disagreement rather an RFC was being pursued now, and VaV's silly tag editwar tends to disrupt the process by stirring things up likely even creating hostility between editors engaged in discussion. --lTopGunl (talk) 02:07, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

• Block becomes unnecessary if the page is going to be protected. It is less of a matter that how many people have edit warred for removing maintenance templates. URLs of blogspots are particularly removed on sight. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 02:18, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

• Page protected now. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 02:25, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

• Comment I'm keeping this report open for some time more. The protection has been lifted. I'm watching the page to start blocking anybody and everybody who edit wars. The levels of edit warring are shocking on the page. Wifione 17:22, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

I "wondered" whether the IP 223.29.225.35 was actually a logged out but involved editor... _Fortuna 17:25, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Can't tell. But I've blocked one two editors already out there. Watching further and keeping this open. Wifione 00:31, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

223.29.225.35 was also TheSawTooth. Because his last one removed issue tags just like he did with the IP all the time. Now he is not able to abuse that ip because he is blocked now. VandVictory (talk) 09:37, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

There's no need to make allegations and connect IPs to real users. If you have issues about socking, take it to SPI. Other than that, you are close to getting blocked yourself, given the history of your edit warring. Do be careful and stop reverting. I don't want to invoke sanctions on the page unless the edit warring again gets over the top. Wifione 11:03, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Victory You accuse Justice now me. I have "remember password" option check in my computer I do not log out. Do not accuse every one turn by turn people use IPs it is not necessary to create account. @Wifione: he revised me that I am blocked but no other reason of revision he is at 16RR revision. I was not blocked when I made edit. It is part of editwar to revise legitimate revision of blocked editor. I move that you review him. Thank you. ---TheSawTooth (talk) 11:26, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

I tried to restore the text to the original version from November as being more accurate. Eventual one message was left by the IP editor, and then another editor contacted my Talk page apparently to support the IP editor. If reviewing Administrator feels that the single purpose IP account edit is justified then it can stand as is, otherwise someone else can have it restored to the previous November version.

Problem editor gaming the system and flying under the radar for years, pushing POV, disrespecting consensus guidelines, talk guidelines, and edit warring with numerous editors repeatedly. For ultima ratio will alter any content claiming WP:PA --Wuerzele (talk) 10:40, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

This is a warning related to November 30 edit warring:

The current problem worth noting also is that since 9 December 2014 there is an ongoing NPOV dispute related to the lead section of the Bitcoin article, during which User:Fleetham made several edits to the lead section.

As an example, take . This edit is particularly interesting in that it disrespects the consensus built in Talk:Bitcoin#Synthesis in the lead section. Ladislav Mecir (talk) 12:21, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Note also that the editwarring is observable at both the Talk:Bitcoin page as well as at the Bitcoin page. Ladislav Mecir (talk) 17:33, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

• Declined. If Fleetham were edit warring in the article, that would be different, but he's reverting inclusion of material that is, in my view, unnecessarily personally attacking. If you want to complain about resolution of the content dispute, Wuerzele, you can do so without your history of Fleetham's "disruption"; indeed, in one part you even called it vandalism.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:37, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Bbb23, I dont understand why you say "If Fleetham were edit warring in the article, that would be different". Fleetham is edit warring on Bitcoin per the diffs from 16 Dec, 10 Dec, 30 Nov. He had been warned by admin EdJohnston in the December ANI that he was editwarring, and yet he did it again.

I am sorry to involve you in a situation that is quite multilayered and protracted, but I chose this the 3RR noticeboard, because 3RR seems the most straightforward to prove to someone, who is not participating on the Bitcoin page and seeing the dynamics day to day.--Wuerzele (talk) 20:12, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

There is an edit war by several users going on at Visa policy of the United Arab Emirates, so I guess it should be protected. Thank you.--Twofortnights (talk) 11:55, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

• Declined The report here is malformed. You might want to go to WP:RFPP to request page protection. only (talk) 12:47, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
  • Even if the request is malformed you can't decline it for what is a purely technical issue because the edit warring is taking place there and this IS a noticeboard for edit warring - diff diff diff diff diff diff diff diff diff - all in 24 hours. If you think protecting this page will take too much of your free time then just ignore this notice, don't decline it.
  • Also I see a few decisions on this page saying "page protected" so I don't think you are right that such a decision can't be made here. Is this a typical bureaucratic sending off of a good Samaritan to another window? I mean why don't you go to WP:RFPP and report it there? Or at least move my request to the appropriate place? Because I only noticed it, I didn't take part in it, so I am as obliged to go around Misplaced Pages chasing the right bureaucratic window as you are.--Twofortnights (talk) 13:02, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
    • Anyway, thanks User:Bbb23 for protecting the article.--Twofortnights (talk) 17:13, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
      • (edit conflict) Twofortnights, you created a report here without following the instructions. You didn't report a particular user. You didn't include diffs until after the fact, and then you lash out at the admin for not doing your work for you. Yes, nothing obliges you to report this, but if you're going to report it, then do it right. Some leeway may be given for malformed reports, but that is up to the administrator evaluating the report, and in this instance the administrator's decision was completely in process. In any event, I've semi-protected the article for 10 days because more than one IP is involved in the battle. I'm also closing this report to further comments.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:19, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
        • You criticize me for "lashing out" by literally lashing out at me? And then closing the discussion you've just started? Anyway - my work? How exactly is it my work? I didn't have any obligation whatsoever. Aren't we supposed to always have our actions here directed at improving Misplaced Pages? How exactly does it serve Misplaced Pages to ignore a serious ongoing issue because the report wasn't filed the right way per whatever bureaucratic rule? In my book, even if the report was filed in a completely wrong place it should be addressed, and this was like calling the police by accident and telling them about a heart attack and them coldly saying "The number you have dialed is of the police service. Please dial 123 for the emergency medical service". How can respect for the procedure take precedent over the respect for the purpose of those procedures? All these bureaucratic procedures are in place to make functioning easier, but if they sometimes slow it all down or make it harder, then they should be ignored.
        • Anyway, all rhetoric questions above, as you've closed the discussion, but please, I really beg you to read this - so you can find out why this attitude is not appreciated to the extent it is destroying Misplaced Pages. I know I am not conveying the message, I am not good at it at all, I've had many issues before with people who would take offense, but that above is a piece by a professional journalist, so please ignore me, and read that. Thank you.--Twofortnights (talk) 17:47, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

2. user talk:TMDrew 20:00, 22 December 2014 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Heuh0 (talk • contribs)

Comments:

This user has been warned by administrators before regarding precisely this page. The user continues to edit contrary to consensus, continues to harass and now accuses me of sockpuppetry. Previous issue handled by Wifione TMD Talk Page. 11:28, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

You are persistently vandalising, I have reported you, but until you are blocked, you will continue to remove content and vandalise the page, hence my need for reverting your edits. There is no war as there is no dispute.

Full story & full examples of persistent vandalism:

When I came across the B-theory of time, it was in extremely poor condition, it mostly contained information regarding A-series of time (despite there being a page on A-series and B-series), additionally there was a single paragraph on the physics support B-theory has (which is where is had become popular recently) as opposed to A-thoery which is less scientific and popular with other groups, and the physics potentially behind B-theory. The remaining (50%) writing on the page was several paragraphs on William Craig a somewhat Christian fundamentalist, theologian philosopher. The article described his opinions on the theory, and there are a number of problems with that.

The first problem is that most of the paragraphs did not even state that those beliefs were Craig or even that they were beliefs, for example, "B theory suffers a incoherence as all other theories, that time is illusionary. The Buddhist can consistently deny the reality of the physical world, since the illusion of physicality does not entail physicality, but this is not the case with temporal becoming", except this was not stated as a belief of Craig but or as opinion/belief at all, but as a fact outright, (note Craig (a Christian) making a dig at Buddhist philosophy).

The second is much more fundamental, the problem is that this type of writing does not belong on this type of page. The page is an academic page on Physics and scientific philosophy. The theme of the views (which were Craig's) were aggressive, they were also written in a format that mislead the reader into thinking this was by far the general consensus, or a major position on the matter (to give you an idea what I',m talking about, Craig views (though some not even stated as views) were placed in the description of B-theory section as opposed to a new section on opposition). The 'philosophy' certainly wasn't worth any recognition in the academic community, and hence hasn't been. Reword the paragraphs you say? Well, most of it was even beyond that, it was just babble that had no academic founding, it was mostly juts random ranting (read it yourself). Craig has also been criticised by the academic community for pushing A-theory. The fact is the page was not much philosophy but a collection of Craig's religous-oriented rants and opinions (for lack of a better word). It was the type of information that belonged Craig biographical page under 'views and opinion' rather than a academic page. I should note that there was perhaps one small paragraph potentially worth keeping which I kept, however after further reading the statements contracted themselves, Craig argued against yet his quotes supported the theory, additionally the book where these views were from was a book, was won theories of time but also on the physics behind them. The book was completely rejected by the community and labelled pseudoscientific (books reviews also tell of this, particularly Craig completely misunderstanding relativity).

User:TMDrew had continuously reverted these edits, time and time again, he was also responsible, for putting the Craig information in, in the first place.

I have given reason for said edits on his talk page, the B-thoery of time talk page, and on edit 'reasons'. I placed a vandalism warning on his page which he then took to an admin board, which I then had to explain his vandalisation there (admittedly I was wrong, and somewhat guilty in entering an edit war).

Despite me giving reasons for removing the content, User:TMDrew continuously undid my edits. It was then I noticed that User:TMDrew is a Christian, and I do believe he may have some sort of personal conflict or personal agenda with the article. He is continuously adding information (Craig's ranting) onto the page that does not belong, he has worded it in ways that mislead the reader into thinking they were facts supported by the community, and (here's the kicker) in his one of his most recent edit HE REMOVED THE ONLY SCIENTIFIC PARAGRAPH on the page. Leaving only ranting by a religious philosopher and a small section on A-thoery. This is obvious vandalism and he is clearly serving a personal agenda. After the vandalisation warning it had seemed to have solved itself, however, a short while ago, an IP address, undid the edits changing the page back to its original form, removing scientific content, adding religious babble, and portraying Craig's views a the consensus and sometimes stated as facts. It should be noted the IP address immediately commented on the conversation on the talk page between myself (Heuh) and User:TMDrew, commenting in a fashion and opinion extremely similar to TMDrew, he undid the edits in a very similar way to TMDrew, and his contribution list also records only the edit we are talking about now. It is clear this is TMDrew trying to appear as a third opinion. This is clearly disruptive behaviour.

Since this happened I have considerably tidied up the article and creating an article of a quality much higher than it was before. However, TMDrew keeps returning the article to its original state containing only babble about A-theory and religious and aggressive rants from Craig. Despite the fact that Craig's material doesn't belong, it demonstrates this users obvious vandalism, as a productive (but still wrong) user would edit the page to include Craig's views instead of reverting days of work entirely. I have since tried to edit the page to include some of Craig's views, though worded correctly, as quoted opinions, and not including the obvious religious rants about why Buddhism philosophies of time are inferior to the Christian version.

You merely need to read the version that user:TMDrew put in on Craig, to understand how awful it really is (be sure to notice the deliberate degrading of the rest of the article aswell). There is no dispute going on here, just someone vandalising, and someone trying there best to keep the vandalisation under control.

It should be noted from looking talk page he has had numerous disputes over this with User:Mojowiha, where User:TMDrew has removed previously vandalised the page, removing the physics information behind the theory, telling the reader that the theory wasn't supported by physics when it was. User:Mojowiha also had problems with User:TMDrew's editing in regards to Craig, and has to post vandalisation warning on his page (from the looks of it, User:Mojowiha from desperation. From what I have seen User:TMDrew is serving personal agenda.

To get a grasp of what kind of user User:TMDrew is, he regularly wipes his talk page to not show his conitnous vandalisation warnings and seeming obsession over Craig. He has fraudulently awarded himself a Barnstar of Diligence (you can see this by viewing his user page edit history), posing as a user named 'Bobby' (obviously with no linked profile). The reason I am telling you all of this is because I want to demonstrate that this is obvious vandalism. He has also (in this same argument) logged out to appear as his IP address, and I believe operates an alternate account User:Apologeticsaurus Rex. The reason or which is User:TMDrew awarded User:Apologeticsaurus Rex with a barnstar BEFORE HE MADE A SINGLE EDIT. THIS is the type of user you are dealing with here.

I realise this is not a page to report vandalism, but I believe the full story is needed to show you what is really going on. The report in general is ridiculous since the last report (which I will admit I was in the wrong, I should have reported him straight away, instead of edit warring), but since the last report, there has been ONE, only one revert, a revert of a case of obvious vandalism (adding opinions as fact, highly bias POV (removing information showing majority support for B-theory), removing some scientific information, and degrading quality of article in other areas.) There simply HASN'T BEEN AN EDIT WAR. Thanks. DocHeuh (talk) 17:28, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Editor has continually added content I believe to be non-neutral and poorly-sourced since the article's creation in September. A look at the edit-history shows large deletions of his content first by user:Schematica, then user:Wikidemon, then myself, but in each case similar content is restored shortly afterwards. I've asked the editor repeatedly to discuss their edits first, especially given a history of them being removed by myself and others, but the editor has continued posting similar content using guest blogs, forums, primary sources and sites with sketchy RS/NPOV and an edit-war seems to be emerging between the two of us.

I think it would be useful if the page was protected, so that consensus can be established before further edits are made to prevent the emerging edit-war (I was about to revert again, but I think we're probably verging on a 3RR type situation). CorporateM (Talk) 12:57, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

• Exactly how is Bgwhite edit-warring with you? They have made a grand total of six edits to the article; four or five of which are to remove HTML formatting and replace it with wikicode, one of those edits removed an unnecessary section, and the other edit was to remove that section again. Meanwhile, you have made a mediocre article even worse in my opinion, with a huge amount of unsourced stuff being added, in a poorly formatted and unencyclopedic way. Quite why this article needs a timeline with every tiny thing on it is beyond me. It is also very poorly formatted, despite Bgwhite's efforts.

The user was just created and its only activity is the removal of sourced text from two articles.
The arguments from the revert summaries are on the level of "I don't like it." There was no attempt to initiate any discussion.
I warned MiGR25 about 3RR and suggested to start a discussion before reverting. MiGR25's response was to copy and paste my warning word for word on my talk page (not only the template, but the comments I added after).
The use of links to wiki policies in revert summaries indicates that this is not a genuinely new user who is not aware of the rules.
So the user is highly disruptive and it looks like someone created a SPA to remove specific text from the two articles. -YMB29 (talk) 18:10, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

"There was no attempt to initiate any discussion"

There was a dissucsion:Talk:Battle_of_Berlin#Need_to_obtain_actual_consensus_for_controversial_edits yet, you still continuing to widespreed the contested source to the webpages: Soviet_war_crimes, Rape_during_the_occupation_of_Germany; Berlin:_The_Downfall_1945 without any acknowledge to the consensus of an WP:NPOV just because (you) I don't like it

• YMB29, please stop bickering about process. You have been edit-warring to insert your preferred text but it is disputed by every other editor who has commented or acted to revert it. You have no consensus to make the changes you want to make. Binksternet (talk) 18:24, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

• ou have implied Beevor is the only one by your edit. I have stated valid reasons as to the problems as has PBS; it appears it is you YMB29 who "don't like it." Kierzek (talk) 18:54, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

• I am categorically opposed to statements implying that mass rape did not happen in Berlin. A ten-minute search on Google Scholar will show multiple independent historians reporting that Red Army forces committed mass rapes. The scale of the rapes is up for contention, using scholarly or academically sound sources, but YMB29, you are warned (a) not to imply that these rapes did not take place, and (b) not to edit war. I encourage anyone to report instances of WP:3RR to me. Buckshot06 (talk) 20:15, 19 January 2014 (UTC) (User:Buckshot06)

So MONTHS LATER when other editors are tired of your contentious, tendentious editing approach and take a break, that doesn’t mean you’ve suddenly “won.” Even after another editor who is also an admin. told you to disengage, you’re still at it using the same tired m.o.

It’s really time to add a few additional strings to the instrument you’re playing. And a good way would be to familiarize yourself with the WP policies that have been cited to you seemingly ad infinitum to no effect. "Outlasting" other editors who tire of your behavior does not mean you’ve suddenly arrived at consensus. On the contrary. Another suggestion would be to read Misplaced Pages:Tendentious editing, an IMO excellent essay that, although it is not black-letter WP policy, has a lot of valuable info.

Digging up an old discussion (a lot has changed since) from another article, where you did not even participate, does not count as an attempt at discussion on your part.

For a completely new user, you sure seem to know a lot about my history... -YMB29 (talk) 21:06, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

• This report is ironic given YMB29 (talk · contribs) own propensity in engaging slow burn edit wars to push dubious viewpoints while attempting to exhaust opponents with long intractable discussion on the article talk page. For example, recently in the article Winter War (with discussion on Talk:Winter_War#Changes_to_intro):

Seems WP:Boomerang would apply here. --Nug (talk) 21:38, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Diffs of the user's reverts:

4. hasn't made the fourth one yet, but I suspect it will only be a matter of a short time since he seems to think he owns the article (based on these comments: , , (in this one he benevolently deigns to allow some of the edits I've tried to make))

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: 1, 2

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: Talk:Brandon Sanderson#Reorganized bibliography (there's a discussion happening, but mostly just him saying he won't allow anyone to change things, in so many words)

Comments:

He's also reintroducing wrong information as he's cherry-picking information to include. I had corrected the type of short work on various titles (short story, novelette, novella), and that's been undone as well. Caidh participated a little in trying to keep the updates and changes I made, but his edit was reverted, too (it's one of the diffs above). ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 18:24, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

I don't see your point of "why you had to correct the type of short work". I know what a short story and novella is, and added those to the titles like it has to be. And is a novelette not the same as a novella? By the way, all your edits on the article are present, I think, no? I don't really see the reason for all this chaos. Add whatever you want, as is your right, but do it good. Misplaced Pages makes use of references for a reason, so why include lines of text in a bibliography on a book which will only be published in like... 5 years?--J.A.R. Huygebaert (talk) 18:33, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Discussion of what to include or not goes over on the article talk page, just to keep everything together. The only thing to be discussed here is your edit warring behavior. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 18:51, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

User:Jimjilin reported by User:Airborne84 (Result: )

Page: Jesus (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
User being reported: Jimjilin (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Although Jimjilin appears to be engaging in edit warring now at the noted article, I'm less concerned about this article and more concerned about the pattern she/he has established. I'm requesting advice specifically about that. There is a lengthy record (going back about 2 1/2 years) of reports of edit warring and blocks from the same on Jimjilin's user page. If Jimjilin doesn't understand the policies regarding edit warring and 3RR at this point, no one does. Yet Jimjilin continues to engage in edit warring. Is there a longer-term solution for this? Perhaps a longer block with a request to review Misplaced Pages's policies and a stronger warning to cease future edit warring? Thanks. Airborne84 (talk) 19:16, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

@Airborne84: I saw the notice about this thread on Jimjilin's talk page when I went to leave a message about removing text based only on a dead link. Looking through the talk page/edit history (and recalling past interactions at satanic ritual abuse and elsewhere), the overwhelming number of POV edits and ensuing edit wars over a period of years -- most of which stop short of 3RR violations -- suggest a pattern that may be better addressed via WP:ANI. --— Rhododendrites \\ 21:08, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. I have listed it there and don't mind if an admin closes the thread here. Airborne84 (talk) 21:25, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
