Rapid-fire edit-warring across multiple articles. Does not stop despite multiple warnings. His recent contributions consist of pure edit-warring across multiple articles. Large-scale, bot-like edit-warring disruption without any discussion. Dr. K. 04:43, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Someone restore order, please.—S Marshall T/C 17:48, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

An editor who doesn't care about a WP policy aka see also aka the inclusion of redlinks which was discussed 4 months ago and a legal article editor was told to cease doing it. WP guidelines say not to put them in and there is no consensus for otherwise. Note the editor was advised on his talk page of both seealso guidelines and the December 2015 talk page discussion If this editor wants to change consensus on redlinks which is also covered under WP:REDNOT, he needs to go to Seealso's or REDNOT's talk page....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 18:01, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

• The manual of style is not policy. 3RR is, though. I've got you bang to rights, WilliamJE, and I would advise you to restore the stable revision voluntarily.—S Marshall T/C 18:15, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Guideline or policy, the consensus is no redlinks per both WP:REDNOT and WP:Seealso. You want to change it, take it to the above mentioned talk pages....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 18:19, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

• I am under no duty to watchlist obscure manual of style subpages in order to prevent a consensus of about six editors from coming up with stupid, ill-considered, one-size-fits-all rules that screw up thousands of articles.—S Marshall T/C 19:08, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

I have removed redlinks per WP guidelines, and other links already mentioned in the body of the article. Stability restored, guidelines followed, suggest all drop it now. Scr★pIron 19:15, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

• Normally, I would. In this case, I think not. I invite you to look at this editor's contribution history, talk page history, and recent history of conflict with other editors about this exact issue. What we have here is someone on a crusade to remove redlinks from see also sections. Administrator intervention is warranted.—S Marshall T/C 19:22, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

• It is not a crusade to follow Misplaced Pages guidelines. It is merely ensuring some consistency is followed, and good practice. Scr★pIron 19:24, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

User clearly has ownership issues. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 13:54, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

• 3rd party commentIt should be noted that the reporting user Sportsfan 1234 has behaved very similarly and I have warned them both on this issue. Also that there is an ongoing discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Olympics#WP:Olympics - Manual of Style attempting to resolve the issues these two users have. At this stage I think a trouting may suffice as both have made some atempt to reach a consensus on the understanding that they re each on a last warning - Basement12 (T.C) 14:03, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

You know what. I'm done editing the San Marino at the 2016 Summer Olympics. I created the page though, but because you won the case on the edit warring. I decided to move it to the sandbox. You create the page instead, and put the necessary contents. Raymarcbadz (talk) 14:04, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

• FFS. Can which every admin deals with this please ensure that the article is moved back from User:Raymarcbadz/San Marino at the 2016 Summer Olympics to it's proper place. I retract my previous comment on trouting, this has gone too far. Thanks - Basement12 (T.C) 14:10, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Yes, Basement12. We'll bring the contents back if someone besides myself should re-create the article. Raymarcbadz (talk) 14:13, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

I've already moved the page back, even without addressing the rest of the case. —C.Fred (talk) 14:15, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Unfortunately, it's too late. The page has been deleted. Raymarcbadz (talk) 14:20, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

This is getting out of hand, Raymarcbadz has gotten the page deleted, and has now recreated it and restored it to their preferred version (which is against the MOS, and discussion!). When will this stop. There is only so much one editor can do (before it is considered edit warring, and believe me this is not the end goal. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 14:44, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Why can't you create the article instead, and see if you can prove that it follows the MOS guidelines? Raymarcbadz (talk) 14:47, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: Edit summaries only -- issue is of harassment by User:BrillLyle (see below)

Comments:
User:BrillLyle has been reverting my edits, patronizingly dismissing them and refusing to indicate what exactly was the problem and/or to rectify anything in particular with which he took issue. Instead he simply reverted my edits three times before 3RR tolled. On my talk page (see ), he left this ancient RFC which has nothing to do with anything in recent memory just to try to viciously embarrass me by scavenging through my past. I made mistakes, I served my time, and that's it. I could have changed my username but I haven't. Quis separabit? 18:45, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

I'm actually quite confused here. This person is a known edit warring sockpuppetter and difficult editor. He said he had discussed the edits he made but there was no Talk page discussions on the page in question or on my Talk page. And when I wrote on his Talk page here he deleted the section -- which I have never even seen before. My issue was that I have had pages that I have worked very hard on changed by this editor in the past and he has behaved in a very uncivil way. This experience is the same. I question why the edits were made, especially as there is no value add, the dates on the entire page are consistent, and he added little to no content. Why does he get to behave this way? I can walk away from the pages he works on after I do but it seems patently unfair. To be called out for this here is also not ideal. I had thought to report his editing as being disruptive and against good will principles here but thought I would give him the benefit of the doubt and not follow through. Now I regret that. This whole issue is pointless. I will just walk away. But this editor is a problem. He drives away editors and doesn't add content. It's all sort of a nightmare. Erika aka BrillLyle (talk) 18:53, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

" He said he had discussed the edits he made but there was no Talk page discussions on the page in question or on my Talk page" -- NO. I said I had communicated via edit summary just as BrillLyle did. It's 2016, and BrillLyle should really forget about things that happened on Misplaced Pages up to and more than a decade ago and concentrate on the present. Since being restored to editing privileges a decade or so ago (can't exactly remember what year, it's that long ago) I have not been blocked once. I do the best I can and have the commendations to prove it, on my talk page in my archives. Quis separabit? 19:03, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Whatever fantasy you want to believe. I am walking away from this page -- a page I improved significantly -- because of your behavior. Do you have any ability to examine your own behavior here as being unpleasant? I don't care how many gold stars you get, it's a lump of coal from me. BrillLyle (talk) 19:09, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Two warnings given. Amccann421 (talk) 18:46, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi there. Amccann421 accuses me of edit-warring, saying "Please do not add or change content, as you did at April 3, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article."

However the other editors have pointed out today to me that in fact it is NOT permitted to cite references/sources in April 3 or in any other Date-of-Year pages. Hence I removed my references. Unfortunately, now Amccann421 has appeared on the scene and is criticising me for removing the refs and accusing me of edit warring. Please confirm, on the April 3 Talk page, that you have got it wrong. And please do not further disrupt the discussion and editing process unless you have a valid point to make. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.154.101.95 (talk) 20:14, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Result: Semiprotected two months. Revert warring by IPs who don't wait for consensus on the talk page. A fluctuating IP from 86.254.* is being reverted by multiple others, so this needs a discussion.

Despite warnings about adding unsupported comments, this user has edit warred with two editors about Gordon-Levitt being a falsetto and/or countertenor. clpo13_(talk) 22:56, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

I'm following https://en.wikipedia.org/Special:RecentChangesLinked/Category:Falsettos right now, don't take him off. violetnese 23:05, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

I know this board is about conduct, not content, but I can't resist. First, you can be a bass and sing in falsetto. Second, having a "high" tenor voice does not mean you're singing in falsetto. Third - and I'm not sure where countertenor came from in this silliness - a countertenor is not the same as a man singing in falsetto.

• Comment Report is for the reversion of warnings on the IP's talk page. While his edits were in violation of 3RR, our conversation on my talk page here seems to show that he didn't know that users are allowed to remove warnings from their own talk pages. He understands this now, and hasn't made further reversions. I recommend siding with good faith and perhaps giving him a reminder about 3RR and talk page guidelines as opposed to blocking. ~Oshwah~ 01:16, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: (can't give diff as edit created page)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: Started this RfC nearly a week ago, IP is reverting application of consensus and is aware of and involved in discussion.

Comments:

IP editor is reverting several changes:

• Keeps restoring category "Philosophers of mind" despite consensus against it.
• Keeps changing "stand-up philosopher" (sourced) to "performing philosopher" (unsourced)
• Keeps reverting implementation of RfC consensus.

Skyerise (talk) 04:05, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

I second this. The IP has been disruptive in numerous different ways. It has repeatedly made edits without explanations or edit summaries, most recently here. This is behavior which unfortunately suggests an absence of interest in discussing issues or reaching consensus. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 04:15, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

What an enormous amount of hypocrisy and ignorance.2605:A000:1200:4020:BDC2:282A:6C52:766B (talk) 04:32, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Skyrise appears to misstate several facts. There is no clear consensus on the philosophers of mind category. Rather, he and FKC have insisted on their position and several others have disagreed but tired of the WP:BATTLEFIELD. I personally think Leary does belong in this category but concede I have not yet found a source that states it clearly in one sentence. Re: the stand-up versus performing philosopher description, the editor that the IP reverted was me. But having searched for new sources, e.g., , I think he's right: Leary did call himself a "performing philosopher", not a "stand-up philoopher", the latter term apparently having been applied to him by others; this is why I didn't revert back. Re: the RfC "consensus", I concede the !votes to exclude outnumber those to include but the RfC has not been closed and proper procedure is for an uninvolved editor to do that. Skyrise announced he intended to close his own RfC. When informed this was completely inappropriate , his response was to insult all those who disagree with him as "uninformed", a clear and unambiguous personal attack. Msnicki (talk) 05:00, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

If there actually were an acceptable source calling Leary a philosopher of mind, such as a respected work of reference dealing with philosophy, I would probably not have any objection to the "philosophers of mind" category either. That does not alter the fact that there is no such source. You removed the category yourself at one stage, with the edit summary "rm Category:Philosophers of mind per talk page", and that does count toward consensus for keeping it out at least for now. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 05:07, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

As we all know, 3RR has nothing to do with the content and only to do with a count of reverts. The IP has crossed the bright line. I only listed the most recent four. Others could be added. Skyerise (talk) 05:41, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Comments:
The user keeps reverting edits as it was shown above. I approached him via edit summary and his talk page, but he was never open to communication. He had one argument at the beginning, backed by no source. When I kept pressuring him regarding his methods, he started deviating the conversation including what someone might see as xenophobia, as he argued that I don't understand stuff because English is not my first language and I should edit the Portuguese version of the Misplaced Pages, even though I have almost three years of experience with such articles. I even adjusted the article to a version that appeals to the similarity of other articles and is still correct, with sources to back it up. The funny thing is that even this user had a identical edit earlier as shown in the second link at the top of this report. Now he's just reverting the page, nothing else to argue from his part. I'd like to report this to avoid a bigger edit war. I've restrained myself from entering this thing and even waited a day to perform a different edit to try to resolve this issue, yet he keeps edit warring and flinging with the 3RR. I do not come here with the intention of seeing him blocked whatsoever. I just wanted to have administrators telling him how this is supposed to work. Specially because he says we have to be "professionals" here. He lost himself with that word and ends up contradicting exactly what he mentioned early in our discussion at this talk page. Thanks.

User keeps reverting my edits, starts personally insulting and insinuating me by calling me "xenophobic" over Misplaced Pages editing. User fails to acknowledge other articles that use proper lingo and instead has decided to throw a tantrum. Users first language isn't English and fails to recognize examples I've provided. Claims I'm edit warring when it takes more than one for there to be a war. After the first initial edit reversions he then proceeded to decide the term we were arguing over and how it should be presented wasn't even valid just to further complicate the situation and prolong the back and forth.Greg440 (talk) 20:03, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

This is the same material added by IP editors previously (e.g., see this revert by IronGargoyle). The material being added is COATRACK and OR (none of the sources given even mention the word "Arab" let alone "Anti-Arabism" or any synonym).
