User is pushing their WP:POV on a marked contentious topic and despite warnings on the article talk page then went today immediately after gaining autoconfirmed status and multiple times tried to edit and was subsequently reverted, passing 3rr. Raladic (talk) 21:14, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

To be clear, the article is not in compliance with Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. Despite much discussion on the topic, no one can point to any reliable source. I was not warned about this Wikipedia:Edit warring#The three-revert rule until just now. Dangdude11 (talk) 21:36, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

The topic is clearly marked as a contentious topic on the article talk page, which comes with extra warnings for users before editing. You should familiarize yourself with them before making edits.

It also doesn’t look like your exchanges on the talk page have been particularly constructive as multiple users have refuted your claims and promptly reverted your edit (which you made immediately after gaining autoconfirmed status to even make them - which may be further seen as a way to WP:GAMING the system) as well.

The article protection was now raised under the arbcom enforcement for WP:GENSEX to avoid further disruption. Raladic (talk) 21:53, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

I feel that you reported me because of a viewpoint that you are advancing. You say that I have been “refuted” in the talk page, but no one can point to a source that supports their position, even by their own admission. In any event, I don’t plan on making any more edits to the page as Wikipedia is showing a systemic bias towards a partisan viewpoint as evidenced by your partial comments here. Dangdude11 (talk) 22:02, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

I had included another comment quoting rules for interacting with new editors and for some reason it disappeared. Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers

"Understand that newcomers are both necessary for and valuable to the community. By helping newcomers, we can increase the range of knowledge, perspectives, and ideas on Wikipedia, thereby preserving its neutrality and integrity as a resource and ultimately increasing its value."

"Remember, our motto and our invitation to the newcomer is be bold. We have a set of rules, standards, and traditions, but they must not be applied in such a way as to thwart the efforts of newcomers who take that invitation at face value."

"If you feel that you must say something to a newcomer about a mistake, please do so in a constructive and respectful manner. Begin by introducing yourself with a greeting on the user's talk page to let them know that they are welcomed here, and present your corrections calmly and as a peer. If possible, point out something they've done correctly or especially well."

"Assume good faith on the part of newcomers. They most likely want to help out. Give them a chance!"

"Remember Hanlon's Razor. Behavior that appears malicious might be from ignorance of our expectations and rules. Even if you are 100% sure that someone is a worthless, no-good Internet troll, vandal, or worse, conduct yourself as if they are not."

I would think that someone who has been around a while would be aware of these rules and should follow them. I indicated that I wasnt aware of the rules and you assumed bad faith.

I am also adding in this exception to the warring policy that justifies my actions

"Removing contentious material that is libelous, biased, unsourced, or poorly sourced according to Wikipedia's biographies of living persons (BLP) policy. What counts as exempt under BLP can be controversial. Consider reporting to the BLP noticeboard instead of relying on this exemption."

The material I removed and was reported for removing was obviously biased. Dangdude11 (talk) 16:16, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

• Page protected ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:14, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

  I request an appeal of this decision. My actions were based in part upon not having a full grasp of the rules. I also think my actions are supported by an exception to the three revert rule.

  I did not realize there was such an ideological bias at Wikipedia either. In the future I will be more careful to avoid offending entrenched viewpoints to the point where they feel the need to arbitrarily report me without discussion. Dangdude11 (talk) 16:18, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

  See above where I was gently guided regarding the characterization of an edit as minor and havent made the same mistake again. That did not happen in this case. I was not made aware of the rules and therefore no sanction is warranted. Dangdude11 (talk) 16:20, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

This user has no interest in the content of the page. They have made zero edits to the article or its talk page. They obviously haven't made any attempt to resolve the "dispute", because they have no interest in it. They are merely hoping to "bag" a block. I find such behaviour to be inherently disruptive. Editors should edit to improve articles; this editor is not doing that. 93.159.183.71 (talk) 07:46, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Comment by uninvolved user: This IP editor sounds a lot like WP:LTA/BKFIP.

Total nonsense by an editor I have never encountered before, who also has no interest in the content of the article, and whose intent seems to be purely to disrupt. They also clearly do not understand WP:OWNTALK. 93.159.183.71 (talk) 08:07, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Wow, didn't know about the category Category:Wikipedia long-term abuse – Active. Impressive that you can actually recognize individuals like that. Reading the messages you linked does sound quite a bit like the guest user being discussed in this thread. They immediately assumed my first revert was because they were an IP user, ignoring that as the one who wrote some of what they deleted, I might have legitimate objections. That hostility was a bit of a surprise. Interesting to see this might be an infamous user I crossed paths with. I hope they can stop being hostile to differing viewpoints, as they do seem to be a bit knowledgeable. GeogSage ^{(⚔Chat?⚔)} 22:41, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Comments:

This "new editor" who keeps edit warring over their POV refuses to join the discussion (despite multiple invites to do so: in the edit summaries, a ping from the TP and a clear message left on their own TP just to make sure that all the bases are covered). Their edit summaries about Wikipedia speaks for themselves. In their last edit, they restored their previous edit which was removed here (by Austronesier, who left a valid explanation on the TP, again ignored by Calbruce67). It's also obvious that Calbruce67 is not "new" given their use of the usual wiki jargon (RS, etc.) that only experienced editors would be familiar with. M.Bitton (talk) 12:00, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

I may be overlooking it, but I see where numbers 1, 3, and 4 above are obvious reverts but I don't see what numbers 2 and 5 are reverts of. @M.Bitton: can you help me out and point out what those diffs are reverts of? - Aoidh (talk) 12:52, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

@Aoidh: I don't know if the other two are obvious reverts or no, but one thing is certain, they keep targetting the same section with the same UNDUE POV and refuse to discuss the issue (leaving the others with no choice but to either revert them or let their POV stand). M.Bitton (talk) 13:03, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Partially blocked – for a period of 24 hours. They made a fifth revert, and did self-revert and went to the talk page afterwards. However, they still violated 3RR after being warned, and after being given a COVID-19 contentious topics notification. On top of this they only began editing the article on July 24 and with the exception of their self-revert, every single edit they have made has been part of this edit-warring. Because they have self-reverted and are using the talk page, the block is a partial block from Martin Kulldorff article itself. - Aoidh (talk) 12:25, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Comments:

Wikipedia's policy states that when contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—must be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion. In accordance with this policy, I removed a paragraph which clearly matched this description and opened a discussion. MrOllie, regretfully, is not up for discussion and hides behind the domain of his source, claiming that his source is credible only on the pretence of the domain that it's hosted on, despite the fact that in the talk section multiple people have already pointed out serious flaws in his source. Also, scientific studies contradict his source. He refuses to discuss further and immediately reinstated the old version with the disputed paragraph, violating Wikipedia's policy on contentious material.

I picked up this matter as recently someone described Martin Kulldorff to me as untrustworthy, basing his opinion solely on this single paragraph in his Wikipedia article. It shows how important correct wording is in this matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Martdj (talk • contribs) 08:58, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

• The OP has been edit warring against two editors. The claim that MrOllie refuses to discuss the issue is obviously baseless. The content in question was restored by a third editor (following its removal by 109.37.138.75). Last but not least, this is a personal attack. M.Bitton (talk) 09:46, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

  I failed to notice that the OP has already been reported for edit warring (making this retaliatory report completely useless). M.Bitton (talk) 09:54, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

  I sense a WP:BOOMERANG incoming. — Czello ^(music) 10:00, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

  I refute that MrOllie has participated in the discussion. If you look at his statements on the talk page, literally his only contribution has been that "his source is credible" without providing any proof for that statement and while multiple people using credible sources have shown his statement to be false.

  I'm glad you agree that the paragraph in question is a personal attack on Mr. Kulldorff and was rightfully deleted. Martdj (talk) 14:18, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

  You misunderstand; the personal attack referred to by M.Bitton is yours, in the edit summary. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 15:08, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Rolling Stone's opinion pieces and reviews, as well as any contentious statements regarding living persons, should only be used with attribution. The publication's capsule reviews deserve less weight than their full-length reviews, as they are subject to a lower standard of fact-checking. See also Rolling Stone (politics and society), 2011–present, Rolling Stone (Culture Council)." - Consequently, I have constantly ensured to include attribution, and added additional notable sources to support the statement.

I didnt know that. Why does this page even exist then and why is there a wiki link to it? --FMSky (talk) 12:26, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Because it's guidance to good practice. You may be right, but don't use it as an excuse to edit-war. Also, I see no edits to the talkpage, other than your justified removal of IP talkpage trolling. Edit summaries and comments to a perceived opponent's talkpage are not sufficient discussion. Work it out on the talkpage where others can participate. Acroterion (talk) 12:33, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Okay thats good to know, I thought that whenever there's a link like "WP:Whatever" it always links to a guideline. No i started a discussion on the user's talk page, not on the article's one--FMSky (talk) 12:37, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

I should probably add that the disputed content is now in the article anyway but without the questionable source --FMSky (talk) 12:38, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Oh come on FMSky. You've been here for over two years and made over 150,000 contributions until, today, on the edit warring noticeboard, you learned that not all WP:SHORTCUTS lead to policies, and that edit warring is disruptive even if you're right.

In response to "What else was I supposed to do?", Wikipedia offers a dispute resolution policy and an essay called WP:DISCFAIL I personally find very helpful. User talk pages are good for discussing user conduct, article talk pages are better for discussing article content. Next time, please create a discussion on the article's talk page and invite the other user to it. This allows others to participate and a consensus to be formed, perhaps with an RfC.

This noticeboard is unsuitable for having an article content discussion. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:49, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Noted, but im actually serious, I though that this was a guideline, especially since other users have previously posted it to me. I've know i've made a crapton of edits but i'm still new to a lot of the guidelines --FMSky (talk) 19:56, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

To be fair, WP:RSP is as close to a guideline or policy as an information page could be. It is a documentation of consensus, and the some of the discussions linked from the table are huge and document a strong project-wide consensus (WP:RSP#Daily_Mail for example, with Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_220#Daily_Mail_RfC). I think the main point here isn't that RSP isn't a policy. The main point is that even if a policy says the same thing, it's still edit warring to enforce it in this way.

And no worries. It took me almost 10 years to notice that "Undo" in a multi-diff undoes the whole thing. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:13, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Diff of ANEW notice posted to user's talk page: [12]

Comments:

The content dispute here is regarding whether the Khanate of Kalat remained under the suzerainty of the Durrani Empire. User Sutyarashi does not regard the sources in my dispute well, and even warns me of 3:RR despite them fringing it themselves as you can see in this diff, [13]. They also were not truthful in quoting text from different sources such as in Iranica. You can see on the talk page where I concluded that Sutyarashi was not being truthful about their quotes, such as this Iranica citation they added on the page, claiming that it attained independence after the rebellion, you can see the diff here: [14] However, after looking into the source, it says this:

""Because Aḥmad Shah needed Naṣīr’s support elsewhere, the new treaty was more equal. The khanate no longer paid tribute or maintained a force at Qandahār. Instead, Kalat provided a fighting force only when the Afghans fought outside their kingdom, and then the khan would be provided with money and ammunition. The new treaty was sealed by a pledge of loyalty to Qandahār and the marriage of the khan’s niece to Aḥmad Shah Abdālī’s son. In the settlement with Qandahār the final accommodation was that the shah gave Naṣīr the title of beglarbegī while the khan recognized him as suzerain." [15]

This very clearly stated that they were still in the suzerainty of the Durrani Empire and this user was not being truthful. Noorullah (talk) 11:32, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Furthermore, some of the sources added may fail WP:RS on their behalf, such as the one from Taj Mohammad Breseeg, and another one of his sources, under Siddiqi, makes no mention of Kalat still holding independence after the rebellion, it even says that the rebellion was subdued by Ahmad Shah. Other sources like Jonathan Lee and Ashiq elaborate that Kalat was in the suzerainty of the Durrani Empire which you can see on the talk page discussion I linked. [16] Noorullah (talk) 11:35, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

In another diff, this user reverted my edits because it said that Kalat declared independence in 1758. That wasn't what the dispute was about, the dispute was about the rebellion having been settled in an agreement in which Kalat re-entered Afghan suzerainty. I believe this shows initially that the user was not properly taking into consideration the edits I added, you can see the diff here, and claimed the citations I added only supported their argument, despite it very clearly stating that the Khanate of Kalat remained in Durrani suzerainty. (per the quotes I added, and on the talk page references) [17] Noorullah (talk) 11:37, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

This user has also had run ins with edit warring before, such as at [18] in the edit warring subsection.

I'm not sure if this is of further concern, but they were found to be a sockpuppet as seen here [19] per this investigation diff: [20], which if I am not wrong in, should be an indefinite block, and not a 1 week one? You can also see it in their block logs. [21] Noorullah (talk) 11:56, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Pinging @Aoidh since they appear to be handling this. See the above for a possible sockpuppet issue. Noorullah (talk) 12:01, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

• Both editors blocked – for a period of 24 hours . Both editors have violated 3RR. Sutyarashi with the diffs above, and Noorullah21 by undoing (in part) the vassalage wording added by Sutyarashi and then making 3 reverts back-and-forth with [22][23][24]. Per WP:EW The three-revert rule states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts, in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material, on a single page within a 24-hour period. Aoidh (talk) 12:05, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

  Also as a note, the SPI from a year-and-a-half ago was resolved at that time the way the blocking administrator felt appropriate; per Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry#Blocking there is no requirement for an indefinite block for the "main" account. The SPI is not relevant. - Aoidh (talk) 12:08, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

  Comment - I have also unblocked both editors as they have agreed to not make any reverts on that article for at least the next 24 hours, and to discuss on the talk page. - Aoidh (talk) 13:17, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

  Noorullah was edit warring same time on another article Battle of Jalalabad (1710). While Sutyarashi unblock is ok, Noorullah has repeatedly been edit warring and was once blocked before and his appeal for Rollback rights was also denied for exact same reason. 208.184.20.226 (talk) 23:59, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

  Note to admins: the 208.184.20.226 IP address above was blocked on 7 July 2023 as the result of a previous ANEW thread filed by the IP (boomerang action), specifically due to block evasion of another IP, 73.236.210.215, which is still blocked to this day (expires in October this year).

  The Battle of Jalalabad (1710) page has been semi-protected for six months due to disruption from multiple IPs, also the talk page of that article shows there is discussion from the editors involved in the editing dispute, including the IPs and Noorullah21, so I do not see a significant problem there.

  And here's a quick shortcut to the request for rollback permissions by Sutyarashi if anyone wants to have a look at it: permalink. — AP 499D25 (talk) 01:49, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

The user has been edit warring the whole day with plenty of different users in the Italy article. Simplyred90 is also very likely block evading, the account became prolifically active after IP Special:Contributions/87.6.189.15 got blocked (see also Special:Contributions/79.23.193.41). Simplyred90 edits the same pages, removes the same content, makes the same arguments, engages in edit war with the same users, has the same edit style and has poor English skills just like the previously mentioned IPs.

The user is also engaging in edit war in the regional power article, the page needs extended confirmed protection, it has been suffering from edit warring over the same content ad nauseam. SpaceEconomist192 ✐ 19:14, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Insofar as there are claims of edit-warring on three different pages this month on this user's talk page, as well as a very clear habit of making personal attacks, it seemed to me best to file this report. -- SashiRolls ^{🌿 · 🍥} 16:12, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

I)

User:SashiRolls was previously banned from Wikipedia

He was unbanned on the 15th of January 2023 on the condition of staying away from conflict

To quote User:ScottishFinnishRadish

"Stay away from anything contentious, and stay away from any conflict. I suggest you self-impose 0rr, and unwatchlist and leave any article where you're involved in any conflict. You have vanishingly little rope left, and many that supported the unban also made it clear that this would be the last chance."

To quote User:Starship.paint

"Welcome back. Now, please, no more comments on your opponents. Stay away from anything remotely controversial. I very much hope I made the right decision to vote to unban"

User:Jusdafax, User:Buffs, User:Objective3000 might want to confirm

II)

I have participated on the talk page of the article "The killing of Nahel Merzouk" at the request of User:SashiRolls

Nobody else has. It seems there is Wikipedia:Silence and consensus on the [version] of the introduction.

To have a proper idea of the issue. I highly recommend to read the explanations given for the edits and what has been discussed on the talk page

Him calling me the (Indian) person was deemed as irrelevant and inappropriate by User:Starship.paint and was asked not to repeat the ethnic slur by user:Nil Einne

III)

[[45]] Here is the talk page of Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam, the other article he is mentioning and where he isn't involved. As you can see, a discussion is already taking place.

IV)

Contrary to User:SashiRolls, I've never been banned from Wikipedia even if some have very quickly sent me warnings when it's not in my habit to do so.

The only time, I was seriously bothered. The editor who did so, Satrar, was ultimately himself/herself banned from Wikipedia ZLEA can confirm

Before any decision is taken, I would just like everyone to have a look at the edits made by User:SashiRolls and me and judge who's warring and who is reverting what can be qualified as activism if not vandalism

I'm tired Varoon2542 (talk) 17:28, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

[46] people from Harigaon in Bhojpur district, the ancestral village of Ramgoolam, however, rejected the claim and said he was a Koiree, a backward caste considered lower on the caste ladder than Kurmis. Their argument: Mohit Ramgoolam, the grandfather of the Mauritian Prime Minister who had migrated from the village was called Mohit Mahto before he went and Mahtos are Koirees.

User Varoon has some WP:CIR issue, as I can guess from Seewoosagur Ramgoolam. The above quote is from a good source (Indian express newspaper is considered WP:RS). Now this source tells us that caste of Seeosagar Ramgoolam was Koeri as claimed by his native villagers. However other source, put by user there says that he was Kurmi. Now as per policies, we need to put both views. But this user is doing WP: SYNTHESIS on the basis of another source which says that on island of Mauritius Koeri and Kurmi both are denoted by term 'vaish'. So he is completely ommiting the reference of Koeri origin and putting only one view by joining both sources himself. I tried to discuss on talk page of article, but he is probably not aware of WP:3RR and WP:AGF, continuosly edit warring on that article[47] without reply. He even neglected the advice of two admins [48] and continuously reverting it, this user should be banned.-Admantine123 (talk) 18:37, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

@Varoon2542: While SashiRolls's comment on you was unacceptable, it's been removed and AFAIK SashiRolls has never repeated it. In any case, even if they did, the place to deal with that would be at WP:ANI not here. It seems clear that you've broken 3RR so I strongly suggest you self revert. Neither SashiRoll's previous comment on you nor anything else you mentioned is an excuse for a bright line violation. Nil Einne (talk) 18:58, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

I saw that I was pinged in this discussion. You don't need me to confirm that Satrar was blocked (not banned, there is a difference) as a sockpuppet. I know nothing about this dispute, so I'll stay out of this discussion. - ZLEA _T\^C 19:41, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Just commenting since I came across this due to the ping, AFAICT, the first diff shows an edit not a revert so it's not a bright line violation. I'm not sure if even the second edit is a revert. Of course the lack of a bright line violation doesn't prevent sanction for edit warring. Nil Einne (talk) 18:38, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

This is obviously inaccurate. Admins are encouraged to ignore this erroneous statement. All four reverts are the same reverts that Varoon2542 has been repeatedly making since 9 July (in the case of the lede) and 16 July (in the case of the Ivan Rioufol op-ed being mentioned in the body), restoring his preferred text verbatim. It is to be noted that CNews has been warned by the French audiovisual regulatory body for failing to respect its "obligation to honesty and rigor in the presentation and treatment of the news" as a result of this same Rioufol. (Cf. CNews) -- SashiRolls ^{🌿 · 🍥} 18:43, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Sorry you're right I am mistaken. I got confused since you linked to a "status quo ante" version as the previous version. But this is not what the editor is reverting to which we would expect in that field but instead is what the editor is reverting against (which is unimportant since it can be seen in the diffs). Nil Einne (talk) 18:53, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, like I said, I didn't understand what I was being asked there. Basically, the main problem is the use of "French people of Arabo-Islamic background" which Varoon2542 has edit-warred into the lede a shocking number of times now, despite the term not being used in any sources. -- SashiRolls ^{🌿 · 🍥} 18:58, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Declined While Varoon does have enough of a history to make some sanctions a consideration, here before going across the line they backed off and have not edited the article in two days (Of course, should they return and resume the same behavior, there is ample room for reconsideration). Daniel Case (talk) 20:17, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Daniel Case, please keep a tab on Seewoosagur Ramgoolam, as they probably don't understand the things like WP:SYNTHESIS. They will surely revert to their version again, after coming out of hibernation.-Admantine123 (talk) 17:34, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

The article is under WP:1RR.

I notice that Ghazaalch was not warned of and invited to promptly correct the perceived error on their talk page prior to this being filed, which is the normal courtesy, so Ghazaalch has not been alerted (also offline since). I assume Ghazaalch was not counting the earlier edit noted here, a restoration of material, as a revert (rightly or wrongly) - it certainly was not a clean revert to the 9 June diff mentioned. Outside of this, the paper trail of what was changed is quite hard to follow. Iskandar323 (talk) 20:18, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

I reverted the Phil81194 edit as they basically replaced the definition of "seeing in one of the nightmares" with the tautological "seeing her as a dream in one of the nightmares" and also, in my opinion, overused the word "magical girl" where not it is necessary, removing from the description of the character that at one of the moments they took on a demonic form. The first time, to my shame, I reverted one of the user's several edits without comment because it didn't seem important to me. But since they similarly reverted their edit, I was forced to explain the reasons for my reversal and also opened a topic on the talk page, where I expressed my position. In response, the user went directly to my talk page, where he stated that he believed his edits were correct, so he did not consider them an edit war and returned them to the article. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AHomura_Akemi&diff=1167395993&oldid=1167392567 The same was actually left on the page's talk page. As a source, they refer to the film itself, the reason for which is not clear to me, since the dispute is not about the events of the film, but only about wording. Although given that at the end of the film the character actually becomes a devil who confronts the protagonist who has become a demiurge, I highly doubt the idea that the character's devilish form is supposedly not divine. I warned the user that if I continued, I would be forced to write a request to the administrators, but he ignored this and simply reverted my edit again. In this regard, I stopped any edits in the article and wrote here. Solaire the knight (talk) 13:42, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello everyone. This user is changing a good wording in an article just for the sake of changing it, the information about the character is good, correct and it gives the article a better wording. It was not an edit war, this user jumps to the "the edit warring noticeboard" every time without any notable reason, and you can check this out on archives of the user. Thanks. Phil81194 (talk) 13:58, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but do you have any other arguments besides "my edits were good, so it wasn't an edit war" ? You've actually repeated this in three different threads already, but I still haven't seen an answer to my opinion that "I saw it as a dream in one of my nightmares" didn't sound very good, and that the character's devilish form is clearly at least different from character's standard magical form. I also don't like how you try to base your argument on direct accusations against me, but let the admins judge for themselves. Solaire the knight (talk) 14:01, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

The first episode of the anime series is titled, "As If I Met Her in My Dream..." and that's the correct information about the character that should be written in the article, and for the film I suggest you to understand the story before changing any information, her devil form is not a divinity. Phil81194 (talk) 14:04, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

There is no need to copy the same message in different threads. You force me to make the same answers and thereby duplicate topics. Madoka couldn't see Homura "like a dream", only "in a dream". Even the text you quoted contains just such a form. Accordingly, Homura was not one of the dreams and the phrase "I saw her as a dream in one of my nightmares" sounds tautological. Why not replace it with" I saw her in one of my dreams/nightmares"? Solaire the knight (talk) 14:07, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

I'm not against a better wording from you, but with only official informations about the character. Phil81194 (talk) 14:11, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

You are literally quoting the text where Madoka implies that she saw Homura IN A DREAM, not AS A DREAM. In addition, any official sources position the devilish form as separate from the magical girl, besides opposing it to the demiurge Madoka in her god version (even the Madoka wiki share this, but I don't use it as a fan resource). What sources do you refer to other than the general "watch the movie"? Maybe you can quote some lines from the movie that would confirm your words? Solaire the knight (talk) 14:16, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

UPD. Since the question is "smoothly" moving towards maximum emphasis on terminology, I want to note that I will not mind if any of the administrators resolve this issue from a linguistic point of view and without considering the request for an edit war, since I think we both broke it.

The devil form of the character is not a magical form, yes, that's true, but she's not a divinity. It was never mentioned in the film in its Japanese version and you can check it out by your self. We are talking about the story of a character and these kind of things often doesn't have official sources. The source is the story and the film it self. Listen, you make too much sound here for nothing, just for simple wording, like I sais before. If you want to add a better wording about the "dream" then just go on, but for the devil form I'm 100% sure about the information, she's not a divinity. This is my last message here, I don't have time to waste.

• Both editors are warned that if you revert again, you risk being blocked without notice. Also, if you wish to resolve your dispute, do so somewhere else other than here.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:38, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the solution. In this case, which forum do you recommend moving the discussion to? I'm new to the English section, so I don't know which pages to discuss such questions if the discussion page didn't help much? But anyway, I tried to continue the dialogue on the talk page and offered a compromise, taking into account your outcome. Solaire the knight (talk) 14:41, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

You should continue on the article Talk page. If that doesn't resolve the conflict - and it's a bit premature to give up on the Talk page as a forum - you'll have to look at other methods of dispute resolution.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:07, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice! I don't dare to test your patience anymore, you really helped channel this into a more peaceful direction. Solaire the knight (talk) 15:11, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Comments:
I don't like having to do this, but Skyerise keeps making sweeping changes against consensus, while discussion is ongoing. They removed the longstanding section about Wicca three times. Having failed to keep it removed, they began simply deleting the statement that malevolent magic is "the most common and widespread meaning" of "witchcraft", along with the five high-quality academic sources supporting it (see here). I undid that, they removed the sentence again, I restored it, then they removed it again. Also, Skyerise and Randy Kryn seem to be planning to tag-team on this article so they can keep pushing their POV without breaking 3RR. – Asarlaí ^(talk) 20:20, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

My bad. I did do some self-reverts that don't seem to have been included. Voluntarily taking 48 hours away from this particular article and its redirects. Hope that is sufficient remorse. Thanks Asarlaí for bringing my overage to my attention. Skyerise (talk) 20:28, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Another relevant link is when @Skyerise removed a comment asking them to stop. Explanation for that? El Wikipedian (talk) 10:28, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

How is that relevant? It's well established that users may remove warnings from their talk page. It's my regular practice to do so, and I always comment "read" or "ackknowledged" when I do so. Skyerise (talk) 10:47, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Sure...you are allowed to...but its a tad odd to do in the middle of discussion here...it just feels a bit shady...like your trying to hide something. You did not comment read or ackknowledged (and id be surprised if you always commented with a typo). @Skyerise El Wikipedian (talk) 10:49, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

I'd suggest you take a closer look at the chronology. I removed that comment an hour before this complaint was opened. Also, I don't believe I made any reverts after that warning either. Skyerise (talk) 10:53, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Having read the missive, and responded to it calmly in an edit summary (indicating that it had been read, and offering an explanation), the editor was perfectly within their rights to remove the message from their own user talk page. Also see WP:GOODFAITH. Esowteric + Talk + Breadcrumbs 10:51, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Comment by involved admin: Look at her block log. Skyerise has been blocked for this behaviour many times before. - CorbieVreccan ^☊ ☼ 20:41, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Yes, and I'd like to say that since those blocks that I've realized that a collegial atmosphere is way superior to a battleground attitude. I admit that I lost count, and if my reverts hadn't already been reverted, I would do that now. Skyerise (talk) 20:49, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Appeal for leniency from involved editor: Skyerise is a thoughtful, sensible, knowledgeable, resourceful, studious, intelligent, approachable, and pleasant editor who has made a great many useful contributions across so many articles. I think perhaps her errant behaviour might be a measure of her frustration in the face of concerted, and at times adversarial, opposition. She has initiated and engaged in discussions on the article talk page.

Ask yourself which is the more collegial, if errant:

• "remove the primary example of systemic bias; this is also not cited correctly - it is not sufficient to provide five citation to prove "most widespread now", it would require say a linguistic survey, etc" (Skyerise).
• Or "what the hell is this?" (Asarlaí).
• Or "establish that most reliable academic sources don't consider malevolence part of the definition of witchcraft, but rather a stereotype projected by others" (Skyerise).
• Or "unexplained removal of detail supported by numerous academic sources" (Asarlaí).
• Or "NOT removed, rather QUALIFIED" (Skyerise).
• Or "Skyerise, respect the consensus we've reached through this process." (CorbieVreccan).

Colapsing, sockpuppet making trouble. Courcelles (talk) 20:26, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
I disagree, there seems to be a repeated pattern of edit warring here @Esowteric El Wikipedian (talk) 10:50, 23 July 2023 (UTC) Do review the blocking policy: "Blocks are used to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, not to punish users." How would a block be preventative if I have admitted my fault and voluntarily stopped editing the article for 48 hours? Are there complaints of me edit-warring on any other articles at this time? I am certainly open to suggestions that 48 hours is not enough, but there is currently no disruption being caused that needs to be prevented. Are you suggesting that blocks are punitive rather than preventative as policy dictates. Skyerise (talk) 11:08, 23 July 2023 (UTC) To prevent you from going back and doing it again maybe @Skyerise El Wikipedian (talk) 11:10, 23 July 2023 (UTC) I'd think you'd have to establish that that was likely. I do actually do my best not to edit war. Sometimes I mess up. In the past, when I've messed up I've argued about it, so I got blocked. That didn't work very well so I am happy to freely admit that I messed up and even voluntarily discipline myself. I really think you'd have to show that my admission or self-discipline are insincere and that I have some grand plan to engage in intentional edit-warring the moment my self-imposed discipline expires. Do you have evidence that that is the case? Skyerise (talk) 11:15, 23 July 2023 (UTC) I believe that as sincere as they might be you continue to edit war @Skyerise El Wikipedian (talk) 11:16, 23 July 2023 (UTC) So you have no evidence to present to support that belief, then. Skyerise (talk) 11:18, 23 July 2023 (UTC) I have a pattern of edit warring and your block log@Skyerise El Wikipedian (talk) 11:19, 23 July 2023 (UTC) For a newbie, you sure seem to have done your homework. Esowteric + Talk + Breadcrumbs 11:21, 23 July 2023 (UTC) Ive been reading on wikipedia for years @Esowteric El Wikipedian (talk) 11:29, 23 July 2023 (UTC) And I've had several harassing stalkers over the years, mostly IP editors, but sometimes they make accounts to hide their location, since their locations are known. Skyerise (talk) 11:34, 23 July 2023 (UTC) Are you suggesting hat im stalking you!? Im not btw. I just like to read wikipedia. relax. @Skyerise El Wikipedian (talk) 11:35, 23 July 2023 (UTC) I didn't make any such suggestion, but since you bring it up, one of your early edits was to edit the article Sky-Watcher. Here's the diff. Skyerise (talk) 11:36, 23 July 2023 (UTC) Sorry, that was my fault. Esowteric + Talk + Breadcrumbs 11:38, 23 July 2023 (UTC) Umm...how is that related. Also I found that from the user homepage @Skyerise El Wikipedian (talk) 11:39, 23 July 2023 (UTC) Oh, I admit it is probably not related, but my most aggressive stalker would use "Sky" or "Skye" in their user names and also edit related articles so I would know it was them. I'm sure it's just a coincidence. Skyerise (talk) 11:43, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Have you reviewed the actual reports? All but two of my blocks are from 2015 or before. There are only two recent ones, and I admit I was heated at the time and argued and deserved to be blocked. But in none of the cases did I actually go back and edit war on the same article immediately after the block expired, so why would I do so when I am voluntarily refraining. Block logs actually tell one very little, and the actual context is hard to extricate. It's all situational. Skyerise (talk) 11:27, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Esowteric, edit-warring with what reads to you like a "polite" or "collegial" edit summary is still edit-warring. When people disrupt with a smiling face it can actually be more disturbing. - CorbieVreccan ^☊ ☼ 18:45, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Comment: I followed a notice on Wikipedia_talk:Systemic_bias[64] to find what is apparently a perennial concern (raised with various levels of quality) being dismissed[65] along with attempts to add some semblance of balance to a main space topic.[66] Since I have engaged on the topic it appears @User:Asarlaí and @User:CorbieVreccan have sought to wp:tag team the subject and target me.[67] I feel they have sought to wp:own the page[68][69][70] and broadly influence Wikipedia to indicate their particular point of view[71] while accusing others of the same, misusing policy,[72] and doing so with cover of adminship[73]. It seems like I for one am having to make almost every edit twice because I'm essentially guaranteed to be reverted regardless of how basic the edit is,[74] or how well sourced.[75][76].

Unfortunately, it doesn't surprise me at this point to see one of these two make a formal accusation against another editor in this dispute. The fact it's @User:Skyerise, who I felt had largely tried to be relatively measured on the issue, is surprising. Darker Dreams (talk) 08:17, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

DD, all of this is irrelevant to Skyerise's 3RR violation. You have been very disruptive on these articles, and people have talked about it and warned you. That's what we do here. Do you understand that this is the edit-warring board? Skyerise violated the edit-warring/3RR policy, and has admitted it. Are you saying you think that it's fine to repeatedly violate policy in your quest to WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS? - CorbieVreccan ^☊ ☼ 18:42, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

I'm saying that you and Asarlai have repeatedly edit warred and more in your attempt wp:own the article and to shut down collaborative processes to make improvements. While User:Skyerise's violations may be problematic, I was under the impression that admins are supposed to be at a higher standard of conduct - not flout policy more egregiously. Darker Dreams (talk) 20:14, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Note: Skyerise is back to hitting undo on Witchcraft. I made a minor tweak to a sentence to make it less unwieldy, and she hit undo, with a bizarre and misleading edit summary: ([Undid revision 1166785522 by CorbieVreccan (talk) let's not interrupt the collaborative process which is how we arrive at a new consensus; improve, don't revert). I don't think she's able to stop. - CorbieVreccan ^☊ ☼ 19:57, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Note : CorbieVreccan neglects to mention that I reverted a revert that undid all of this morning's collaboration by other editors or that they themselves executed this revert. Also, my voluntary 48 hour withdrawal is over. Skyerise (talk) 20:00, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

I reverted no one. I tweaked a sentence to remove excess verbiage and a word that I don't see in the sourcing. I did not change any meanings. You are the one who hit undo. This is ridiculous. You clearly can't be trusted to voluntarily restrain yourself. - CorbieVreccan ^☊ ☼ 20:05, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

I have no intention of reverting again for another 24 hours. That's not an edit war. Just because your revert was a partial revert doesn't make it not a revert. Nor does it mean you are edit-warring. (or does it?) Skyerise (talk) 20:09, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

In the lede, one contentious sentence now has seven citations back-to-back. Skyerise quite rightly tagged that as "excessive citations" and was promptly reverted by CorbieVreccan with the edit summary, "The lede has a lot of cites because they were demanded to prove the most common definition. Flagging as over-cited is a common POV push move, because the next move would be to wait and then say it's not sufficiently sourced. All anyone has to do is wade through talk and they will see why every one of the cites is there. The flag was disruptive and I have removed it."

This is not collegial, it is an example of a WP:BATTLEGROUND.

I have pointed out that to avoid an "excessive citations" tag, they can be grouped together: ref *cite1 *cite2 ... /ref, with the bullet points each on a new line. Or pruned. Esowteric + Talk + Breadcrumbs 21:34, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

That makes his second revert. Any removal is always a revert of the editor who added the tag or material, even if combined with other edits. Skyerise (talk) 21:36, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Storm in a teacup: Skyerise merely reverted after a whole heap of people changed and reverted and re-changed that part of the lede, and she used the edit summary "let's not interrupt the collaborative process which is how we arrive at a new consensus; improve, don't revert".

I collapsed that entire tangent. I’ll let another admin answer this ANEW since I’m doing CU stuff here. Courcelles (talk) 20:28, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Page protected – there appears to be a content dispute on the page. Consider dispute resolution. In full for three days. Enough. I have been keeping an eye on this for the last couple of days, and my initial hopes that it would blow over have sadly proven unfounded. It seems the best solution is to keep everyone's hot little fingers off the article for a few days and continue to attempt to work it out on the talk page. Daniel Case (talk) 20:15, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

@Daniel Case: Protection expires soon. The request at DRN has been extraordinarily, barely, accepted. The degree and scope and multifariousness of contention is great, there are more editors added to the DRN than usual (22), interest from EC editors is non-standardly high. The risk that it could be failed down the line is high. But it could work. Since not everyone is on the same page about the scope of the dispute resolution process, if there are going to be edits of the "DRN is about X and this is about something else type", the DRN process is probably doomed. So please extend for 7-14 days to help things there. Just a thought.—Alalch E. 20:00, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Will do. Three days was just to give people space and time to get something like this together. Daniel Case (talk) 20:02, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

@Daniel Case: you might want to protect Wicca as well; same dispute recently echoed there by one of the editors in DR: [77] Skyerise (talk) 22:58, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

If the user thinks I'm correct then why the hell are they reverting? The only possible explanation is that they are reverting just for the sake of reverting.

Comment by uninvolved user: This 185.104.138.30 IP and the 217.91.19.176 IP reported above both sound a lot like WP:LTA/BKFIP, who is known to edit-war over the removal of content and argue in edit summaries. They also show an intense dislike for warning templates on their user talk page (such as here), and frequently accuse other editors of being SPAs, vandals, or inexperienced in the topic.

I wanted to bring this to attention because it looks like this is an ongoing problem, and they have been quite active lately (I've counted at least a dozen blocked IPs used by them from the last 30 days), so this info might help in knowing what is going on regarding these belligerent edit wars coming from various IPs on various articles that all happen to have a similar pattern. — AP 499D25 (talk) 04:09, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

I was unaware of the edit warring policy and I was not notified of this report, this user is breaking the rules. I edited the Flint article -- I am one of the victims of Flint -- to include the guy who exposed Flint, and linked to ABC News, gave the article and listed two local and three national media outlets who carried the same story but this user just keep removing the legitimate info. Note that this user is not removing repeated references to Jordan Chariton, who had nothing to do with Flint and used his own media outlet as a source. I would not be shocked if this user is attempting to gate keep the article and exclude credible facts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Valid Identification (talk • contribs) 03:45, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

• Page protected – there appears to be a content dispute on the page. Consider dispute resolution. Furthermore, there was absolutely zero attempt to resolve the dispute on the talk page, so this report is malformed from the outset. Rather than apply WP:BOOMERANG to block the reporter, I elected to full-protect the article for 1 week while the dispute is resolved on the talk page. I note that one of the objections stated to the added text was a citation to YouTube, but there is no issue with that because there is no copyright violation and the video is from a reliable news source. ~Anachronist (talk) 04:01, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Blocked – for a period of 24 hours Based on the editing history alone, I might not have taken this step. But Pleasures' repeated abusive language on his and the article's talk page cannot go unaddressed as it is unbecoming of a Wikipedian. More like a dick. Ideally I'd be able to layer this, with a longer block from the article continuing after this expires, but we cannot yet do this. So for now the standard 24-hour block will have to do.

Comments:

Hi team, User jojoanthrax (along with likely sock account luckylouie) has been policing the living biography page about Robert Lazar since at least 2022, resulting in a very low-quality article. Robert Lazar is famous for claiming that he worked on recovered alien space ships near Area 51. It is admittedly a tough article to write, but jojoanthrax argues in bad faith, cites fringe sources, includes his original research in the article, and bullies editors who disagree with him on the talk page.

jojoanthrax seems particularly keen on not allowing any evidence that would support Lazar's claims. Of particular note is that there was a recent congressional hearing where a former intelligence officer echoed Lazar's claims that the US government possessed UFOs. Whenever editors (including myself) try to include that in the bio page, jojoanthrax will not allow it or anything else that may support Robert Lazar. For me, I think it is important to mention that he took his friends and family to see a UFO being tested, and that they recorded a video of it, which is available on a news station's youtube channel.

If an editor tries to improve the article, jojoanthrax reverts the edits and comments that changes should be discussed on the talk page first. If an editor tries to engage on the talk page, jojoanthrax cites poor arguments and behaves unreasonably. Scottygang (talk) 18:58, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

My attempts to engage User:Scottygang on the Talk page failed. With less than 40 edits, they appear to be largely unfamiliar with editorial policies relating to WP:FRINGE claims.

Comments:

While there has been no violation of the 3RR as of the time of making the report, the sporadically active user has returned to pick up their slow motion edit warring on Sweden to introduce disputed content that they were most recently pushing for in September 2022. Editor has been involved in edit wars about said content since February 2022, getting blocked for edit warring in May of the same year. The editor shows the same behaviour as previously, undoing edits to restore the content without engaging on the talk page and gaining consensus, the only other thing they did during this recent return was telling me to stop editing the article. The users contribution history shows that other than a handful of edits, their whole activity is based around this edit warring, virtually making them a WP:SPA. --TylerBurden (talk) 04:05, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

It is completely clear what is happening. What I mean that, yes the 3RR rule wasn't broken and the edit warring was in sequence (You removed several statements in June and got reverted 1¹ /₂ months later, and happening one revert day by day). I can find out that the reported user isn't extended confirmed and has a conflict of interest to Sweden and Denmark related articles, so suggest page protection. ToadetteEdit ^(chat)/_(logs) 11:10, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

I'm not sure about the conflict of interest (merely studying something doesn't give you a conflict in editing articles about it). Maybe, though, we could just block this editor from the article? Daniel Case (talk) 21:04, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

@Daniel Case Now a third revert to restore the content seen here. I agree with a block from the article itself, that would force the editor to at least attempt to gain consensus rather than continue attempting to brute force the content in through edit warring, and still allow whatever other infrequent small edits they make to other articles. TylerBurden (talk) 04:39, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Since that was almost a day ago, and he hasn't edited since then, I'll see what he does. Daniel Case (talk) 04:48, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

@Daniel Case TylerBurden has removed a significant and relevant section to the Sweden page regarding immigration - without gaining consensus. I am not a frequent user on the English version of wikipedia but I have contributed plenty on Danish wikipedia sites.

TylerBurden is the most active person on the Sweden page and frequently removes contributions which doesn't fit with his political narrative. What is the argument for suddenly deleting a major part of the site with no explanation or discussion? Policynerd3212 (talk) 07:36, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Well, an editor could find the material unsourced, or unreliably sourced, or making claims the sourcing does not support. Or it could be irrelevant to the article. While it's not necessary in those situations to remove it, an editor would still be within their rights to do it. I believe the warning that appears above the edit window says something to this effect.

So what's your argument for discussing this here and not on the talk page? Daniel Case (talk) 17:24, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Addendum: In fact, looking at what you keep restoring, I note that there are unsourced paragraphs in this apparently "VERY IMPORTANT" information. Daniel Case (talk) 17:27, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

@Daniel Case Sweden has received hundred of thousands of immigrants in a very short time span. According to Statistics Sweden, over 2 million of Sweden’s inhabitants which is 20% of the population, are born abroad. This is significant and has changed the political landscape, culture and demographics in a major way. I would certainly argue that is very important to the country. Do you disagree - and if yes, why?

I have per your comment added additional sourcing to the section.

"what's your argument for discussing this here and not on the talk page?" - TylerBurden has moved the discussion here. But we could have a discussion on the discussion page. I have no objections to this and I do not know, which is the most appropriate. But regarding the discussion, I would argue that the burden is on TylerBurden to explain why he has deleted a major and important section without explanation or discussion - as he is the one who has initiated a major change. Policynerd3212 (talk) 18:25, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

He moved it here? He started the discussion of your edit warring here. You do not have to wait for him to move it back to the talk page; you can do it all by yourself. You do have this wonderful thing called "agency". Daniel Case (talk) 18:29, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

@Daniel Case I can sense you are quite upset, but I am relatively new to wikipedia, so I do not know which page is appropriate for discussions such as this. But if you believe it to be more appropriate I will move the the discussion to the talk page. Policynerd3212 (talk) 18:55, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

That would be an excellent idea. And I'm not upset with you, more the apparent "Look what he made me do!" defense. Daniel Case (talk) 19:08, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

@Daniel Case Continuing to violate WP:ONUS to restore synthesized content that is already covered on a main article that is linked, while also repeatedly deforming my user page by copying my messages. Please act on this, as you can see the editor is personally motivated against me for getting in the way of them including their very important information full of policy violations and lack of consensus. TylerBurden (talk) 05:04, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Page protected Existing indefinite semi-protection raised to extended-confirmed.

After considering this for a long time and reading the looong discussion on the talk page about this that started almost six months ago, I have concluded that this is the best step to take. It is evident that Policynerd is editing against consensus here, and is unwilling to accept that they might be wrong. And it doesn't help to start which basically talk page discussions which basically boil down to "I'm right, I worked hard on this—do not go against me".

With this, Policynerd will not be able to edit the article, but it will keep a clean block record and they may discuss on the talk page (assuming they are willing to see other perspectives) as well as any other article in the encyclopedia. Of course, should Policynerd, when they attain EC status themselves, resume this behavior, this sanction will have to be revisited. Happy editing! Daniel Case (talk) 05:51, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

@Daniel Case Thank you for the protection which will at least limit the edit warring (for now). I'm sorry to ping you again so soon with the issue, but given that Policynerd3212 has already taken their continued problematic attitude to the talk page immediately lashing out at me and the editor who agreed with me in response to Policynerd's talk page thread, I don't think this article or Wikipedia in general is for them. They don't seem interested in improving their knowledge and learning, but just wants to add their content at all costs. The point of protecting the page doesn't seem to have connected given that their "all sections should be deleted" and continued personal attacks and accusations towards me doesn't indicate a willingness of seeing others perspectives, or indeed learn how content is built. That in combination with the harassment of my user page makes me think that frankly this person doesn't have the temparament and willingess to learn required for editing, at least not this topic. TylerBurden (talk) 08:21, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Like I stated in my previous complain, the user keeps changing the format on TV show articles like List of programs broadcast by The CW and List of Amazon Freevee original programming, and edit-warring with multiple users. This has been going on for months, even before I first noticed them. I've requested them to discuss and warned them too, but they don't bother. They've been going at it for months and despite multiple blocks just return to edit-warring.

Brief one week or two week blocks aren't working on the user. I requested the admins to disable anonymous editing for a while like six months but they didn't listen. Small blocks clearly aren't going to work. The user will likely just return to edit warring without discussion if blocked only briefly again. Please, disable anonymous editing from their range for a few months, or at the least semi-protect the articles they keep edit-warring on for a few months.

I have been under the impression that the 3 revert rule applied to the revertion of same material. I am a relatively new editor not aware with all of Wikipedia's policies. I just checked the page related to edit warring and realised the edits could be also related to different material and within a 24 hour period. I apologise for this unknowing and also apologise for unknowingly edit warring. I am now aware of it and will strive to not do it in future. I apologize to the administrators for the disturbance caused by me. I've also reverted my own most recent revertion as per WP:3RR. PadFoot2008 (talk) 12:30, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

• Not blocked I think their explanation is sincere and they have self-reverted so I don't think any action should be taken at this time. Aoidh (talk) 00:27, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

  The fourth revert was self-reverted. The fifth one, not. Although the fifth revert is more than 24 hours since the first and second reverts and therefore within the bright-line rule, it is only outside that window by 1 hour and 6 minutes, which would generally be considered 'gaming the system'.

  @Bbb23 and M.Bitton: Due to an influx of vandalism, yesterday I was forced to briefly filter out all edits by IPv4 editors. This lasted all of 2 minutes, but the IP had the bad luck to make 6 talkpage edit attempts in those 2 minutes. That said, subsequent complaints about not being able to edit talkpages come some time later. So, they are incorrect, but I would assume confusion over malice. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 16:29, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Comments:

User has been edit warring against multiple editors (HistoryofIran and Mikecaymantrades) across multiple articles. Despite several warnings they have yet to post on the talk page of these articles. Not all are 3RR violations, but user persistently reverts with POV and WP:RGW edits without obtaining talk page consensus. — Czello ^(music) 10:20, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Can you cease being obtuse and describing my legitimate attempts at reversing semantic obscurantism as an instance of "edit-warring"? Check the footnote describing the changes I made: the page in question (Mark Wallace) has already been flagged for hosting self-promotional, self-aggrandizing content, owing to which it is incumbent that the concerns be addressed and remedied.

Secondly, the usage of the term "regime" instead of "government" to describe the governments of the nations described therein constitutes a blatant contravention of the neutrality policy. All the changes I have been have been substantiated with cogent sources, whereas the previous edits were not merely unreferenced, but were brazenly espousing a partisan stance.

With reference to "United Against Nuclear Iran", be advised that the description adducing to it being "bipartisan" was wholly unsubstantiated and lacked any references to document to the classification. Referring to it as "neoconservative", something that has been attested to by an expert whose credentials have been documented, is only natural given its presence on the page already. Furthermore, I provided an appropriate reference too, something which "bipartisan" acutely lacks.

The content previously hosted on the pages I edited were either unsubstantiated, unreferenced, self-promotional, or were blatantly pushing a distorted perspective. If you suggest reverting to the previous edition, cite the references. As an editor, I am well within my rights to suggest changes backed by credible references, which I did. Moreover, if the content infringes on Wikipedia's policy, then it shall be rectified and addressed for due compliance.

Apropos the changes made on the page of Voice of America Persian News Network, be advised that I merely modified its description in a fashion similar to the one accorded to Russia Today, which is also a state-controlled broadcaster. Classifying it as "pushing a perspective" is wholly disingenuous considering this is the same protocol dispensed to the pages of other state-controlled broadcasting entities. DisconsolatePutz (talk) 10:31, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

You've received (by my count) 3 separate warnings around edit warring (discounting ones you received in edit summaries). You've ignored them. You've been asked to obtain consensus by at least 3 different editors multiple times. You've ignored them. You don't get to brute-force your preferred version. Why haven't you taken your edits to their respective talk pages once they were disputed? — Czello ^(music) 10:39, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Also calling others "obtuse" is a personal attack. Please don't do it. — Czello ^(music) 10:47, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for reporting them. They also randomly accused me and Mikecaymantrades of collaborating ("I only come across two editors collaborating with each in a concerted attempt to subvert changes: HistoryofIran and Mikecaymantrades."). --HistoryofIran (talk) 11:12, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

@BoxxyBoy: You are the one who is being disruptive by reverting other editors. I try to be reasonable with you by telling you to follow the guidelines [162], but when you remove my comment by telling me to "stay off my page", it's clear that you're not here to work with other editors and are rude and hostile. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 09:41, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

I've decided to make one final comment. Your edits were vandalism. Why else would I revert them? I am here to provide information. If someone is going to try and ruin a page and I happen to catch it, I'm not going to let it slide. It was "my page" while I was editing it. Anyone is free to provide good and constructive edits. But it seems like you don't understand what that is. You also decided it was okay to stalk my talk page's history, which is incredibly creepy. You should be ashamed. I understand you feel as though you are correct, and while my anger may sway others' opinions to your side, not only are you incredibly incorrect and a vandal, but my anger is also justified. Now I AM SERIOUS. If I receive another notification, I will make sure there are real life consequences. BoxxyBoy (talk) 09:52, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

The last sentence alone should now be grounds for an immediate block, as per WP:THREAT. Amaury • 09:55, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

Lol okay. I'm implying a permanent ban from WP, and since it seems y'all's lives center around Wikipedia, they would fall apart. Maybe WP:GetABrain and WP:LeaveMeAlone. BoxxyBoy (talk) 10:01, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

I agreed with Amaury; clearly, the editor is not here to build an encyclopedia (WP:NOTHERE) and should be blocked permanently. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 10:13, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

"clearly, the editor is not here to build an encyclopedia" How am I not? I've literally been editing pages even after this report. All I want is to add info and not have to deal with this nonesense. SMH.

If you decide to waste the time and try to block me from editing, just know I'll be back with a different username and IP, because no matter how hard you try, I'm not going to let you stop me from sharing information. Maybe instead of wasting your time, try helping improve the site like yours truly? BoxxyBoy (talk) 10:17, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I like to report an edit warring with another user NmWTfs85lXusaybq.

He claimed that my edits are all pro China POV and was 'justly' revert to the correct place. I disagree with him and believe he is lying.

In the Jambi Sultanate, I never added any Chinese POV as not only it neutrally state the history, the sources itself comes from Western origin so the argument does not hold. Plus the edits I made only state the relationship between Jambi and China along with the Dutch as he previously argue that indirect connection are not allowed (the wiki are filled with indirect links). I also wrote what the source stated that I just referenced.

I state my arguments in the talk page and he falsely accuse me of being a Chinese nationalist which none of the content I added are what he claimed. If it was Chinese nationalist, I would be write nonsense like "Jambi is successful because of China". He also unnecessarily think my Fandom/Wikia background compromise my edits in the Wikipedia as I had a same standard of editing for regardless any edit. I know what I write. Yaujj13 (talk) 05:24, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

I was surprised to see this come up as I had some contact with these two editors back in April, after they had some interactions that could probably be described as outright edit warring[170]. At the time my attention was drawn to @Yaujj13 because they included blog cites to support some edits. Then the fight between the two broke out and I tried my best to mediate, among other things, calling for @Yaujj13 to slow down as a new editor, and for @NmWTfs85lXusaybq to stop the name-calling.

I think that at the time @Yaujj13was getting out of line a bit with the volume of edits and perhaps a bit of POV pushing. However, @NmWTfs85lXusaybq on my reading was the aggressor at that point because they jumped straight to accusations and Chinese POV name calling.

Neither of these editors seems to talk before reverting, just sniping in edit summaries. If anything they seem to be more candidates for IBAN than a block for edit warning but I'm not advocating for it. Just offering a perspective FWIW. Oblivy (talk) 05:55, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

  I also note the discussion on the article talk page was started 2 minutes before this report was filed with one line saying "You should not be removing sourced content regardless." nothing on the content and clealrly no intention to engage on the subject, just clearly to tick some box to make this report requirements met.

  I would just like to point out that I simply saw junk content on a page and got rid of it and the top of the page encouraged me to do so. Instead i had two users who looking in to it further appear to be using automated software or an automated process. Something called "Twinkle" and something called "RedWarn". These things were linked in the history and their edit summaries. These appear to show what an automated system is believing to be 'vandalism' and the replies from the users clearly show no reading of the reasons i gave. They both kept saying 'unexplained' when I left details in the edit summary, and kept on saying it was 'unexplained' when I laid out reasons to these people. I even invited one person to give reasons, which they have not done. This seems to me to be people using an automated system not reading things being done, biting another persons head off, and then stonewalling with the same thing over and over. This surely cannot be how this place is meant to operate, can it? 67.149.160.101 (talk) 03:59, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

I just want to say that if WP:RS/AC has been abolished, I certainly did not get the memo. tgeorgescu (talk) 15:19, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Reporting party made no serious attempt to discuss either at my talk page or the article talk page. Article talk page comments were made about edit warring with snarky commentary in the description of their edits and my edits at the talk page. His snarky commentary has also filtered into their comments here, too. The talk page edits were, I believe, made after this report was filed or with no time passing in order to wait for a discussion to take place before filing this report. I stand by my edits and see no valid reason why the reporting party couldn't have truly tried to discuss. It feels to me as if they are upset I changed something at a page they might be gatekeeping. A4M2 Alaska4Me2 (talk) 15:21, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Regarding your charge that Otherwise, you're just appearing to be the article gatekeeper who is keeping anyone new from changing what's already there, then yes, if someone is removing WP:RS/AC from the article, I am hell-bent for keeping WP:RS/AC inside the article. WP:RS/AC is not subjective in Wikipedic parlance.

Did I discuss badly? Well, the pot is calling the kettle black. You wrote absolutely nothing on the talk page of the article. tgeorgescu (talk) 15:40, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

• Note Tgeorgescu, what do you see the edit you label as nr 4 (=the first of the putative reverts) as a revert of, or to? How is it a revert? I notice you have failed to fill in the "Previous version reverted to" field in your report. Bishonen | tålk 15:44, 6 August 2023 (UTC).

  @Bishonen: #4 is a revert, since they have deleted although most Herod biographers do not believe that this event occurred.<ref name=Maier>{{Cite book |last= Maier |first= Paul L. |chapter= Herod and the Infants of Bethlehem |editor1-last= Summers |editor1-first= Ray |editor2-last= Vardaman |editor2-first= Jerry |title= Chronos, Kairos, Christos II: Chronological, Nativity, and Religious Studies in Memory of Ray Summers |publisher=[[Mercer University Press]] |year= 1998 |pages= 170–171 |isbn= 978-0-86554-582-3 |chapter-url= https://books.google.com/books?id=mWnYvI5RdLMC&pg=PA169}}</ref>. Revert meaning undoing someone else's edits, and deletion is a way to undo someone else's edits.

  So I don't read "revert=restoring their own past edits", but "revert=undoing someone else's edits".

  Since, obviously, at #4 they were not restoring their own edits, but simply undoing someone else's work. tgeorgescu (talk) 16:02, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

  You seem to be saying any deletion is a revert. It is not. If you can't tell me what the previous version reverted to is, that edit is not a revert. I understand that there is a problem, but I think you're at the wrong board. Unless you have a better explanation for me, I'm considering fullprotecting the article and inviting both of you to discuss on talk. I have to agree your use of article talk hasn't been very helpful so far; it's impossible for somebody coming from outside to understand what you're talking about there. User:Alaska4Me2, yours has been worse — you haven't posted on talk at all. Can you give me a reason not to fullprotect, Tgeorgescu? Bishonen | tålk 16:06, 6 August 2023 (UTC).

  @Bishonen: I will copy/paste the WP:PAG

  An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page—whether involving the same or different material—within a 24-hour period. An edit or a series of consecutive edits that undoes or manually reverses other editors' actions—whether in whole or in part—counts as a revert. Violations of this rule often attract blocks of at least 24 hours. Fourth reverts just outside the 24-hour period will usually also be considered edit-warring, especially if repeated or combined with other edit-warring behavior. See below for exemptions.

  Quoted by tgeorgescu (talk) 16:11, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

  Not very relevant. Take a look instead at the definition of a revert, here: "reverting means undoing or otherwise negating the effects of one or more edits, which results in the page (or a part of it) being restored to a previous version". Why do you think this board has a "Previous version reverted to" field? I gave you an opportunity to object to fullprotection of the page — I thought you might have some alternative suggestion — wanting to take it to ANI? — but I guess not. The article has been protected. Please both of you discuss on talk and try to reach an agreement. For dispute resolution, since only two editors are involved, WP:3 might be helpful.

Diff of ANEW notice posted to user's talk page: [187]

Comments: The IP user I complained last time has also been endlessly edit warring on other pages besides List of programs broadcast by The CW. I asked for protecting List of Amazon Freevee original programming, but admins only noticed The CW one. That might have been my fault as I didn't only listed it in the long comments and nowhere else. The user has been repeatedly edit-warring on List of Amazon Freevee original programming and List of Peacock original programming. Therefore I request the admins protect both these pages for a long while too as they won't stop. If you view the history of the pages you can see they've been edit warring on one thing or another for months [188] [189]. Linkin Prankster (talk) 13:50, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Comment from uninvolved user: As I can conclude:

1. Edit warring happened almost one month ago, and
2. The IPs involved in this and the other mentioned article are from the 2600:4040:2800::/40 range, derived from the larger 2600:4000::/24 from the state of Virginia. Go to the contributions of the first range to verify.

ToadetteEdit ^(chat)/_(logs) 14:25, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

@ToadetteEdit: Because this is a long-term abuse behaviour, the user comes back to make the same edits or type od edits every time after their block expires or the page protection expires, this isn't the first time nor the only page they've edit warred on. This has been going on for a while, even before I got involved and they've blocked thrice for the same behavior as you can see here, here and here.

You can see the user starting edit warring on List of Amazon Freevee original programming the first time since at least May 2023 with this edit: [190], [191], [192]

You can see the user starting edit warring on List of Peacock original programming the first time since at least May 2023 with this edit: [193], [194], [195]

Listing every revert of theirs of course would be too long and impossible. I've listed some reverts here only as an example of their long-term abuse, sorting through them itself was a pain. You can see all their reverts on the history pages of the two articles [196] [197].

As for their IP range itself, it does seem to be 2600:4040:2800::/40. I've requested admins to implement a 6 month anonymous editing ban (not a full block) on it in past to force the user to create an account to discuss their edits, but have been unsuccessful. Linkin Prankster (talk) 16:58, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

@Linkin Prankster I noticed this exact comment was initially posted by Roman Reigns Fanboy[198] before being swiftly self-reverted[199] and then being reposted by you[200] moments later (and then you changed the signature[201]). Are you operating multiple accounts? — Czello ^(music) 17:11, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Yes I do operate multiple accounts, one for films and another for TV to keep the two topics separate and manage them better. Occasionally I cross over to the other account's topic with my one account but not much. But since Wikipedia doesn't allow operating multiple accounts, I didn't admit it until being caught. I never use my account to get involved with supporting edits of the other account in a dispute (though I might edit the same page as them occasionally). Regardless, I apologize. Linkin Prankster (talk) 17:16, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Having alternate accounts is permitted in some instances, but they must always be clearly labelled as such. Please add a template to both account user pages making this clear - there's some userboxes you can user here. — Czello ^(music) 17:22, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

I'm sorry I was unaware of that. I will do so, thank you for understanding. Linkin Prankster (talk) 17:24, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

@Daniel Case: They are also edit-warring on List of Peacock original programming as I showed. I also requested protection for that page, so I hope you can do so. Thank you again. Linkin Prankster (talk) 18:22, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

I don't know if this is the place to give my perspective, if not, delete it. I have made over 2,500 edits and always try to work together with others. This always went in a civil way until now. I have asked this editor countless times to discuss our differences on the talkpage and he refused each time. His was also a problem on the Battle of Malplaquet page were every other user involved tried to work something out. @Eastfarthingan @Robinvp11 also commented on the problems I had with with the user in question. It left me really frustrated, and I probably should have sought some oversight earlier, but I did it before Duncan left a comment. I asked @Cinderella157 to check it out.

Plus, the reported user has already made repeated personal attacks on me by calling me a Vandal without any evidence of it.[216][217]. Sutyarashi (talk) 09:20, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

There is no edit warring on my part. The user who has reported me has removed well-defined citations for reason best known to him. The edit summaries for removing those citations are inexplicable. The page under consideration is Hyder Ali and the subject is his ancestry. I have added multiple sources from reliable publishers, mentioning the ancestry of Hyder Ali in great detail but due to some reason User:Sutyarashi removes those citations because he thinks they are not good enough. When i restore them, I am accused of edit warring. The reason for removal his best known to him. CrashLandingNew (talk) 08:56, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

I've left sufficient reasons, both on talk page and as edit summaries, on why these self-publish and colonial sources are not suitable for use. Instead of engaging there, you've already reverted more than half a dozen times on the article. Clearly edit warring, and I dare say, pushing your POV there. Sutyarashi (talk) 09:02, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

None of the sources I've added are colonial or self-published. The ones which fell under those categories were removed. The sources added by me are by reputable publishers, who have been mentioned. I've not call anybody vandal but removing well-defined sources is vandalism and I've only pointed it out. As far as POV is concerned, I can say that for Sutyarashi too. He does seem to have a bias for proving the ancestry of the subject from a certain region. CrashLandingNew (talk) 09:08, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

No, they are not reliable, I've already mentioned this so on talk page[218]. Also, the main issue here is your edit warring; I had already tried settling dispute at talk page, but in no vain. Sutyarashi (talk) 09:16, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

They are reliable. You've made no attempt on talk page. You remove these sources and then leave a summary on talk page, explaini why you removed those citations, i.e. not discussion. CrashLandingNew (talk) 09:27, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, but I have only a single reversion at article and tried to discuss it on the talk page multiple times.

Sutyarashi (talk) 09:27, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

3R, where? CrashLandingNew (talk) 10:00, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

CrashLandingNew and Sutyarashi, I'm happy to see that you are currently discussing this on the article's talk page. CrashLandingNew, I can't see vandalism nor sockpuppetry there; please stop casting aspersions, especially in edit summaries where you can't remove them after having noticed that you're wrong. Vandalism in Wikipedia's terms is intentional damage done to the encyclopedia, and neither of you is intentionally damaging the encyclopedia.

As this is a long-term conflict that would greatly benefit from uninvolved experienced editors, please stop making edits that you know someone else objects to there. You both, CrashLandingNew and Sutyarashi, have disruptively taken over the majority of the edit history. If you continue reverting, or adding material that is currently under discussion without a clear consensus on the talk page, I'll probably place a three-month block from editing the article, or a sitewide one if the personal attacks continue. Create an RfC and/or add a discussion invitation to a central noticeboard like WP:NPOVN to find a consensus; see the dispute resolution policy for further options.

• Warned ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:39, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

  @ToBeFree I'm ok with this state of affairs, although there was obvious violation of WP:3R by CrashLandingNew. Anyways, should the disputed bits be removed (temporarily) till they are thoroughly discussed on the talk page (by possibly involving other editors)? Sutyarashi (talk) 18:26, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

  Sutyarashi, perhaps they should be removed, but not by you. If an experienced uninvolved editor implements WP:ONUS/WP:BURDEN, that may be fine; if you do, you're continuing an edit war. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:31, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

It looked like Delfield was going to stop edit-warring a little earlier, but they returned to it after what looks like some very contentious discussion by them and others on the article Talk page. I am WP:INVOLVED. Bbb23 (talk) 23:47, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

I literally implemented what another user and I were discussing in talk page, I am reverted without any explanation and I would be the one edit-warring?!

I added some limited stuff to find a middle ground on what content to be made, this is NOT edit warring.

The two other users are NOT using talk page, except just to say that I should discuss more, but without commenting on content, THEY are the ones edit-warring.

--Delfield (talk) 23:56, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

• This user is not only an edit-warrior. He uses systematically WP:ASPERSIONS against everybody who disagrees with him. See WP:ANI#User: Delfield not assuming good faith and most Delfield's posts on Talk:Juan Branco. So, this is also a case of WP:NOTHERE. D.Lazard (talk) 16:10, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

Blocked – for a period of 24 hours This was an easy call even though the edits aren't classic 3RR; there are enough reverts of different material notwithstanding ongoing discussion to come under edit warring broadly. And speaking of those discussions, Delfield's attitude—or, I should say, his attitude problem—would have tipped the balance if it were close. In addition to an increasing and worrisome failure to assume good faith, Delfield has become a poster child for tendentious editing.

I have blocked for 24 hours first because this is the first block in their four years of editing, and second because my own assumption of good faith tells me to hope that this will help him see the light and begin to mend his ways. An editor carrying on like this with a longer block history would not get those considerations, I must be clear.

Given his almost singular focus on the Branco article over the past several months, should this recur I would recommend a longer block from the page (and, depending on the circumstances, the talk page as well).

Happy editing! Daniel Case (talk) 18:40, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

This is a dispute about the images in the infobox. DaDeadzombie wants to replace the existing collage.

• DaDeadzombie's version has captions under each image, instead of a collage with captions under the collage.

Comments:

The case is not straightforward, and the reverts have occurred over the course of more than 24 hours. Richie wright1980's first few edits and subsequent reverts focus on promoting 1980 in the lead of the article, as the "start" date for being a millenial. Whilst none of the contributors to the article factually dispute that, there is a narrow band of years (1980–1983) that are regarded as potential start dates, while 1981–1996 is the commonly utilised range. The lead was worded to take these considerations into account, and the contributors to the article felt that Richie wright1980 was giving too much weight to 1980.

Richie is entitled to challenge this position, so I didn't consider his conduct problematic at this point. After a couple of reverts and some discussion on the talk page, he filed an RFC on the talk page. So far, so consistent with WP:BRD.

Then came the second set of reverts (the first isn't technically a revert because he changed another part of the article but it was advancing the same position) in which he restructured the date range section to essentially frame it as a debate between 1980 and 1981 as the start date. No such debate exists. Many different sources have many different date ranges (and one dominant one), but it's not like there is a raging debate over whether people born in 1980 are millenials or not. The emerging consensus at the RFC is that Richie's edits were giving too much prominence to 1980 in the lead, and this being the case it follows that splitting the date range section into dates that favour 1980 and those that 1981 will do likewise.

The main problem I have with the second lot of edits is that he is persisting in pushing a perspective than is currently the subject of an RFC. It's disruptive, and the RFC needs to be resolved before there are any more edits related to this particular issue. Betty Logan (talk) 23:59, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

I completely disagree with you. I have made it clear within the Talk page that I would make good faith edits to the Date and age range definitions after taking on board the Talk page. You will note that I have raised this again on the Talk page. This is clearly victimisation from a cabal of page gatekeepers - of which you are one of them as a longstanding contributor to that page. Richie wright1980 (talk) 00:03, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

The administrators will notice that I have made a completely good faith edit and am now being victimised for providing evidence to support 1980 as a starting birth year which is supported. My most recent edit based on the Talk Page discussion can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Millennials

Richie wright1980 (talk) 00:10, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

I have also provided 69 reliable sources of information from around the internet to support my most recent edit. Surely these must stand for encyclopedic purposes. Richie wright1980 (talk) 00:18, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

You will also notice that Betty Logan is also being disingenuous here. I have not made further edits to the lede after consulting with the Talk page. However, I have discussed there that I would broaden the Date and age range definitions instead. I have also revised my list of sources and carefully selected 69 sources of reliable information. Betty is conflating the disagreement over the lede section with the contribution that I have made to the Date and age range definitions which is what the RfC was about in the first place. Richie wright1980 (talk) 00:33, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

I made it perfectly clear the second set of reverts pertained to another section of the article. However, I think you are being disingenuous by pretending the edits are unrelated. I am happy to leave that to the presiding admin to determine though. Betty Logan (talk) 00:37, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

The edits are unrelated. You first took issue with the lede section being changed which I conceded to. You are now taking issue with a good faith edit to the Date and age range definitions section. In other words, you are taking issue with every single edit that involves 1980 being proposed as an alternative starting point and then calling that ridiculous. In other words, you are attempting vehemently to protect the staus quo of the page. The only conclusion is that you have a personal issue with 1980 being supported by evidence. The 69 reliable sources which I have provided make it clear that things do not precisely match what the article currently purports and it is worthy of being expanded. You have reverted my edits unnecessarily. Richie wright1980 (talk) 00:45, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

Also Betty you are being extremely unfair here. It was me that raised the RfC in the first place concerning the lede section and I have completely respected the outcome of that. What you are doing is scrutinising my every edit to ensure that I do not make changes to any other section. This is your attempt to protect the status quo of the page. Convince me otherwise that you will respect the 69 reliable sources provided to support 1980 and convince me otherwise that they are worthy of inclusion. It concerns me that you would rather pretend they did not exist which is why I have also called into question your reverts which are unacceptable in my opinion. Richie wright1980 (talk) 01:15, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

When you accuse me of being a "gatekeeper" do you realize I was involved in an earlier RFC at Talk:Millennials/Archive_14#RfC_about_the_date_range_in_the_lead_section when the "cabal" of editors I supposedly belong proposed to limit the date range in the lead just to 1981–1996? I argued against that on the basis that it was not neutral. However, we are not here to discuss article content, but rather your conduct at the article. There is an ongoing RFC to discuss the issue, and yet you persisted with edit-warring your perspective into the article despite the fact there was no consensus for it. Betty Logan (talk) 00:29, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

The RfC is concerned with the lede of the article. You will note I have not edited on that basis. That is not to be confused with the contribution that I have made to the Date and age range definitions section. You are perfectly aware that this is a separate discussion. Richie wright1980 (talk) 00:35, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

I have attempted to calm the situation down at Millennials. I maintain that there is a very strong case to improve the article and to split 'Date and age range definitions' section to explain that there are different starting birth years for millenials - most notably 1980 and 1981. I have added the unbalanced template to the top of the 'Date and age range definitions' section and the controversial issues template to the top of the article talk page. There is a real danger that there are a handful of long term contributors to the page who are preventing the article from being explanded upon and are using edit wars to prevent content from being expanded. I draw administrator attention to this. Please see: Diffs of my recent contributions:

Blocked – for a period of 24 hours Aside from repeatedly restoring his preferred version or elements thereof, a particularly significant and radical move while discussion was undergoing, Richie demonstrates tendentious qualities during this whole contretemps, particularly a severe inability to drop the stick, an inability so severe that I wonder if he even realizes there's a pulverized horse carcass on the ground. Exhibit A for me as to why this block, the first one Richie has received, is necessary is this thread, where more than one editor tells him to stop and his response is basically my way or the highway ... well, Ritchie, that highway goes both ways and I hope you have a full tank.

Because Jayron has a point, a point which one edit to your page has a direct bearing on, and this was noted by another editor who got involved. Yes, I'm aware, the AN/I has also noted other more questionable edits by Bluthman (edits that might be too old at this point to address with a block, but it has also been noted that you could just as easily be blocked as well, and other editors on the thread have agreed with Jayron.

I did not say we had to wait out the AN/I. I suggested it. If, before it concludes (if it concludes), Bluthman continues editing in the same vein, I would be more inclined to block as now it cannot be assumed that they don't know any better. Daniel Case (talk) 17:09, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

This has been a slow motion edit-war going on for a couple of weeks over a fan nickname that I don't think has strong enough sourcing to include in the lead in Wikipedia's voice. I've left warnings, notes, pointers to WP:BRD, cceated talk page discussion without success. The editor appears to be a WP:SPA around this article so perhaps a block from the article will finally get them to actually discuss. Ravensfire (talk) 15:44, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

This is tendentious editing. The user edit-wars to the edge of 3RR, is reverted by multiple editors (I have been one), then takes a break for a day or more, then resumes the disruption.

There is an ongoing cluster of issues around the Witchcraft articles. It started with a page move discussion, that is now at dispute resolution and two AfDs.

While this has been going on, Darker Dreams copied and pasted the Witchcraft article and created a POV fork as Witchcraft (traditional), using definitions they do not have consensus for. Now, Darker Dreams is continuing the POV push through WP:TENDENTIOUS editing and slow revert-warring. Several editors, including myself, have explained on talk why it's not appropriate to use Indigenous links for "witchcraft", and Darker Dreams agreed that it is uncontested that Indigenous cultures use "witch" for those who do evil to their own. Yet Darker Dreams has now gone back to revert-warring to insert "traditional knowledge/Indigenous knowledge" as a meaning for witchcraft and to remove sourced content that gives a more consensus definition. While the main content dispute is a topic for the mediation, the tendentious editing and creation of POV forks is disruptive. - CorbieVreccan ^☊ ☼ 19:57, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Blocked – for a period of one week from the article, not least because I at least don't want to be dealing with this while I'm at Wikimania next week. But of course other admins will be available ... Daniel Case (talk) 20:27, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
