This is the second time I post this here within the span of two days: User:Ahmad Shazlan has repeatedly insisted on inserting preferred content on the Roti canai page, despite opposition from a number of users, myself included. I've several times encouraged them to start a discussion on the topic instead of edit warring, and I've even left a note on their talk page, all of which they've ignored. They've already received a warning, yet this hasn't stopped them from continuing to impose their preferred edits on the page. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 13:57, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Revirvlkodlaku, I am not an admin, but I believe you need to provide diffs of the user's rule-breaking behavior supporting your statements, as mentioned at the top of the page, in order to get any kind of response here; merely linking your warning(s) is not enough. NewBorders (talk) 05:15, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@asilvering, I don't see the user as trying to engage in a meaningful way. They've dropped a few random comments on the talk while also edit warring on the page, completely disregarding my entreaties that they seek a consensus instead. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 01:11, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How on earth are they supposed to achieve the consensus you're telling them to seek if no one is responding to them on the talk page? -- asilvering (talk) 01:15, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Much of the OP's edits (aside from updating short descriptions) consists of reverting contributions from other users despite having said in a previous unblock request that he would be "much more careful not to revert as frequently" and that he would make dialogue his priority. [1] In fact, another editor has called him out today on his talk page about an wholesale revert and as usual the OP responded on the defensive rather than acknowledging what was being reproach to him.[2] You'll notice that the OP hasn't even bothered answering to Asilvering and has basically abandoned this ANI discussion that he opened twice in two days now that the other editor has stopped editing and that the page was reverted to his preferred version.[3] 76.65.72.160 (talk) 15:52, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, the addition of stuff like this, associating a BLP with the so-called American Deep State, George Soros etc., is conspiracy-theory level nonsense, and immediately suggest that the source (India Today) might have to be looked at again. They've also used Wikipedia as a source. I have pblocked NAUser0001 from the article concerned. Black Kite (talk) 09:53, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The talk page represented a small percentage of all my edits. Have you considered whether these few editors were reasonable or unreasonable when they brought issues to talk page. Sadly, most were behaving unreasonably or without basis. Some are somewhat like your case; no explanation was given to remove content. I suggest you put away personal feelings. I offered my reason(s) for reverting your edits which primarily removed the age content without any explanation. Again please do not nitpick editors just because they are a few months. That is irrelevant. Quality of edit matters more. Again, i will not defend myself further. I just hope Adnin will be fair and look at the issue broadly and openly.

That's the best you can come up with? Globallycz's edit summary is uncivil, as is your retaliatory edit summary where you used the same term in reference to Globallycz. You might want to read WP:POTKETTLE. The disputed content is simply a matter of a difference of wording, which neither of you has attempted to discuss on the talk page. In general I prefer your wording, but it has some minor grammar and punctuation errors that need correcting, and you introduce the error "0Viet" as part of a reference elsewhere. The more important thing is that both of you are edit warring over this material. You have both broken WP:3RR. Meters (talk) 06:58, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just like to highlight that the disputed content was not just a matter of wording. Please review carefully. I dont think i was being rude nor uncivil. The person accusing me of this and that has used strong words like asking me to get a life and daring me this and tbat. On my part, i only insisted that all WP edits should be properly justified. Suggest you reviewed the edits again.

i dont wish to add to your burden unless necessary. The irony is that he had earlier removed the space between a full stop and two references along with other age content on the WP describibg serious crimes in Singapore between 2020 and 2024. When i did the same thing to remove the space between full stop and reference, he undid it. That is not rational. Being civil means respecting others by following basic rules like justifying each edit reasonably. I dont see him doing that. You wont hear from me anymore.

Unfortunately, though the lion's share of the work he does is very much appreciated by me, I don't feel my attempts to be patient and communicative with Srich32977 (talk · contribs) have been consistently reciprocated. I don't want to pillory him, but for context he was previously blocked for violating MOS:PAGERANGE in many of his copyediting sweeps—after I attempted to clarify the guideline, he promised that he would comply but then continued as before due to his interpreting the MOS's "should" as somehow meaning "optional".

Now, he has ignored my posts on his talk page regarding how his AutoEd configuration replaces fullwidth characters where they are correct, e.g. in running fullwidth text.[15] For a few months I've just been reverting when his path crosses into Chinese-language articles and trying to get his attention without being a nuisance, and now I feel this is the only avenue left. I would just like him to respond to concerns as he has shown able to do with some consistency. Remsense ‥ 论 05:13, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please note the long history of problems with this person's semi-automated editing and failure to respond to requests to follow MOS. This user talk archive search for "ranges" is just one example (repeatedly changing MOS-valid page range formats to invalid formats). As Remsense says above, a lot of the work is good and valid, but there are many invalid changes, and feedback is met with a combination of ignoring us, saying they will comply and then not doing it, or complying for a while and then resuming the invalid edits. – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:01, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The main issue with this editor at the moment is disruptive editing based on continuous abuse of WP:TALKNO and failure to get the point. Issues began when this editor removed 5000+ bytes of sourced material. They did it again and again and again.

Instead of starting a discussion on the talk page of the article, the user came to my talk page to let me know of their opinion of my contributions. When I started a discussion on the talk page of the relevant article, the user edited my signature and changed the heading of the discussion I started according to their POV. When I let them know that this was highly inappropriate according to WP:TALKNO, both in that discussion and on their talk page, they responded on my talk page stating ever since the stupid Wikipedia Dec. 2019 encryption protocol upgrade, to able to edit or view Wikipedia at all from my home computer, I have to use an indirect method which involves a non-fully-Unicode-compliant tool. I couldn't even really see your signature that way, and so didn't know to try to avoid changing it, which I had never heard of. In any case, they kept reverting the content supported by the reliable source, they also kept attempting to apply their POV to the discussion heading again and again and again. I finally explained that I had sought a third opinion and that they should refrain from changing the heading again in order to preserve the integrity of the link, and they went ahead and changed it again anyway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by إيان (talk • contribs) 15:20, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes the is indeed about User:AnonMoos. I see the content dispute as stemming from the fundamental conduct issue, which has manifested itself most egregiously with insisting on violating WP:TALKNO repeatedly even after I explained that I had sought a third opinion and that they should refrain from changing the heading again in order to preserve the integrity of the link, after which they went ahead and changed it again anyway. إيان (talk) 16:00, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The heading dispute is between a date heading, and a descriptive heading? that's not really reformulating your entry. Secretlondon (talk) 17:44, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's a conduct issue. إيان (talk) 19:58, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But what conduct issue? TALKNO doesn't forbid changing headings. In fact the wider guideline makes it clear it's perfectly acceptable "Because threads are shared by multiple editors (regardless of how many have posted so far), no one, including the original poster, "owns" a talk page discussion or its heading. It is generally acceptable to change headings when a better heading is appropriate, e.g., one more accurately describing the content of the discussion or the issue discussed, less one-sided, more appropriate for accessibility reasons, etc. Whenever a change is likely to be controversial, avoid disputes by discussing a heading change with the editor who started the thread, if possible. It can also sometimes be appropriate to merge entire sections under one heading (often preserving the later one as a subheading) if their discussions are redundant." To be blunt, if you don't want editors changing the headings of sections you start, don't use such terrible headings. I definitely recommend you stay away from ANI since changing headings is quite common here. Nil Einne (talk) 06:25, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

‎إيان: I suggest you stop messing around with the section heading since it's a distraction which could easily lead to you being blocked.

Nil Einne (talk) 06:50, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote a long and detailed explanation on his user talk page as to why the date-only header is basically useless in that context, but he's still for some peculiar reason fanatically determined to keep changing it back. Frankly, I've basically run out of good-faith reasons that make any sense -- except of course, his apparently unshakable belief that he has certain talk-page "rights", which according to Wikipedia guidelines he does not in fact have (outside of his own personal user talk page)... AnonMoos (talk) 23:10, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AnonMoos: I don't see a problem with changing the heading but why on earth did you change their signature multiple times [18] [19]? That is indeed a clear violation of WP:TPOC since the signature was perfectly valid per WP:NLS. In fact your change was far worse since it changed a perfectly valid signature which would take other editors to the contributor's talk page and user page into an invalid one which lead no where. If you're using some sort of plugin which does that, it's your responsibility to manage it better so it doesn't do that ever again especially if you're going to edit talk pages where it might be common. If you're doing that intentionally, I suggest you cut it out or expect to be indeffed. Nil Einne (talk) 06:48, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:AnonMoos, this is not good to see. Don't rewrite or reformat other editor's signatures. There is no reason to be doing this unless you are trying to provoke the other editor. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 07:51, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, AnonMoos stated earlier that the changing of the signature was a unintentional technical issue, due to his use of some "non-standard tool" in accessing the internet [20]. This seems plausible, as similar apparently unintentional changes to non-Ascii character data have happened in edits of his before (e.g. [21]). But if he knew of this issue, it's rather disappointing he let it happen again some days later [22]. Equally disappointing is the extremely aggressive rhetoric and acerbic tone with which he has been escalating this essentially harmless, good-faith content dispute from the beginning.

Hi, I recently came across the edits of Vazulvonal of Stockholm, who seems to be very stubborn in his editing. The user doesn't seem to understand the basic rules and policies of Wikipedia (such as the use of reliable sources and no original research), even after being alerted and warned many times. Problems include self-promotion; e.g., at Schüssler, some Swedish IP Addresses and himself, have tried to push the inclusion of 5 non-notable persons, of which I suspect "Lars Laszlo Schüszler" to be related to the user, as Vazulvonal seems to have created the article [24], which was deleted later. Other major issues include the use of very poor quality sources (e.g., Geni), poor grammar and spelling (e.g., [25]), pushing nationalist POV (e.g., [26]). At List of Hungarian Nobel laureates, the user keeps reinstating poor quality text and sources, and even had the nerve to call me anti-semitic and anti-Hungarian. At List of Hungarian Academy Award winners and nominees, some Swedish IP Addresses (which are very likely related to the user), have created this very odd section of very poor quality and original research. Per WP:COMPETENCE, I'm not sure this site is the right place for someone who doesn't take advice, warnings and policies very seriously... Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 12:35, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update: The user keeps ignoring all manuals and rules of Wikipedia, and keeps adhering to his own rules, despite being reverted and/or warned almost every time (diff diff).

I have also had problems with this editor, on a specific BLP (Tünde Fülöp), to which they insist on adding unsourced details (for instance on December 14 diff) after a 3rd-level BLP warning on November 27 diff). They also appear to be somewhat indiscriminate about putting ethnically-Hungarian people of other nationalities into Hungarian-nationality categories (such as in this case, where we have sourcing for Fülöp identifying as Hungarian but being born in Romania and emigrating to Sweden). I would be unsurprised to find that these issues are more widespread than this one article. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:35, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User @Ashutoshpaul has been registered on Wikipedia since 2008 and has only ever edited in one specific article: Sultanpur Lodhi - I noticed they keep making edits not in-compliance with Wikipedia MOS, such as not following sentence-case capitalization rules, bolding unnecessarily within the article body, and adding their signature in the content of the article. I opened-up a talk-page discussion (see: [31]) on their user-page to discuss this with them, however their responses are concerning. I tried explaining Wikipedia's rules and how they were violating them but they basically concluded that the rules do not apply to them (for some reason) and that they did nothing wrong. Also, they believe adding their signature into the article's contents is justified since they spent effort working on the article, as per their own words. Thus, they just pushed their edit on the page again (see: [32]). I feel I am not able to convince them to change their ways and require admin help.

Lavalizard101 (talk) 22:35, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Title is pretty self explanatory. Rather than engage in the consensus building process to determine if the disputed content discussed here is problematic, this editor has instead immediately reverted the disputed content. They have been informed of the relevant policies prohibiting this behavior and how it should normally be handled (tagging the content as disputed while the discussion is ongoing) but have elected to instead engage in edit warring to keep the disputed content removed prior to any consensus on the matter. Also important to note that they wish to have the content removed entirely, but have stated that they no longer intend to participate in the consensus building discussion. So this appears to be a WP:STONEWALLING tactic to accomplish their goal of removing the content immediately without a consensus. Seeking admin help to halt this behavior and restore the content with the correct tagging.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Sxbbetyy (talk • contribs) 23:36, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator comment) IMO the best practice is that in the event of a content dispute, the article should be reverted to the status quo of how the article's content appeared before the dispute started, until such a time that consensus is established to re-add it (see: WP:STATUSQUO). It seems like the beginning of the content that is in dispute was added on 18 August 2024, the dispute began a few weeks later on 23 September 2024 and has been ongoing ever since.

In this case, since the article existed in a relatively steady state for several months (or even years?) previous to the disputed material being added, I think it'd be wise to leave the disputed content out of the article until the discussion comes to a close. RachelTensions (talk) 00:07, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have been seeing this opinion from a few editors and even one admin on how to interpret this article. However, the first few sentences in that section do outright state to avoid reverting the disputed content prior to a consensus. And prior to opening this report, I asked several admins on the topic and got a response that reverting the disputed content immediately is incorrect per WP:STATUSQUO as it bypasses the consensus building process. I was advised that the content should instead be tagged as disputed rather than be outright removed. The offending user was made aware of the relevant policies but has nonetheless engaging in edit warring to keep it reverted, hence this report. Sxbbetyy (talk) 17:13, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The status quo of an article constitutes implicit consensus (WP:IMPLICITCONSENSUS). The person trying to include disputed content in an article despite it not being status quo is the one that could be construed as attempting to bypass the consensus building process, not the person trying to maintain status quo until discussion takes place. RachelTensions (talk) 17:20, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Correct, and at no point was the definition of what constitutes the status quo ever in contention. In fact, if you review the edit history of the article you can see that the disputed content was the status quo via implicit consensus at the time PSW chose to first outright revert the content, and then continued to revert it as others tried to restore it (both before and after the consensus discussion began).

the disputed content was the status quo via implicit consensus at the time PSW chose to first outright revert the content
Not really, I personally wouldn't define "been there a few weeks" as status quo.

I think maybe the other replies to this thread provide pretty good reasoning to take a step back and say "hey maybe I'm the one in the wrong here" instead of talking in circles RachelTensions (talk) 00:30, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I think the number of contributions since the edit where it has gone unchanged is a more useful metric, especially on low traffic pages such as this one. Regardless, per the policy you cite, there seems to be no official Wikipedia stance on what exact criteria are needed for a contribution to be considered the current status quo, beyond it having been unchallenged in subsequent contributions (which is the case here).

As for the rest of your comment, there seems to be a high amount of band wagoning and "Proof by assertion" going on in the rest of this. Or people trying to use this report as an extension of the dispute discussion on the article's talk page. Hopefully more actual admins to chime in on the topic as I don't actually want to waste my time talking in circles.

On that note thanks for actually taking the time and baseline minimal effort to engage in a discussion where you actually support your point and don't just devolve into repeating the same talking points over and over. It's a nice change of pace. Sxbbetyy (talk) 02:48, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am the editor being discussed here. I'll provide a summary of events since the initial statement by Sxbbetyy is misleading.

Myself and the editor had a content dispute at Team Seas (1) and following circular discussion, I stopped engaging since I felt I had laid out my points. Per WP:STATUSQUO, I maintained the state of the article to before the dispute. I requested for a third opinion, which was answered by @BerryForPerpetuity:, who agreed the statement should be removed, albeit for a different reason than mine. I took this 2-1 as rough consensus. I also posted the dispute on two WikiProjects, and have received no response so far. Sxbbetyy reached out to three admins about the matter, @Sergecross73, Oshwah, and Pbsouthwood:. The Sergecross73 discussion can be summarized as Sergecross believing that I haven't engaged in misconduct, and that I have presented a "plausible, good-faith interpretation of SYNTH". Sxbbetyy then accused Sergecross73 of not acting in good faith. Oshwah did not respond to the post on their talk page, but @BusterD: did, essentially agreeing that the sourcing does not back up the claim in the content dispute. Sxbbetyy received help on Pbsouthwood's talk page about responding to a content dispute. And now we're here.

Throughout these interactions, Sxbbetyy has demonstrated a failure to assume good faith, refuses to accept that they may be wrong, and WP:BLUDGEONs talk pages, refusing to let the other editor have the last word. Frankly, this is a massive waste of editor time: it should have been a brief talk page discussion then an RfC. Apologies for all the pings. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 00:23, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This summarization in itself leaves out critical context, (such as berry's concern being alleviated and them no longer expressing a desire to remove the content), the specifics of why that conversation with Serge ended the way it did despite my repeated attempts to engage with them in good faith, and the entire discussion with pbsouthwood (who quite definitively explained that the behavior PSW was engaged in was not correct). So I urge all involved to go read those topics to get the correct context through your own eyes and then discuss any concerns from what you see here. That being the case, it seems pretty clear cut imo. Sxbbetyy (talk) 17:20, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear, in no way did I express that I didn't want the content to be removed. I did not receive a notification for your reply, and I wouldn't have engaged either way. — BerryForPerpetuity (talk) 17:24, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I would leave that material out of the article. Whilst it may not exactly be synthesis per se, it is certainly editorialising ("the removal of that amount of marine debris is of negligible consequence...") unless there is an actual source that says this by making a link between between the two statistics (the amount of waste removed by Team Seas and the rate at which waste is entering the ecosystem). And even then, I would say that such an edit would need to say something like "However, ARandomNewspaper pointed out that ...". Black Kite (talk) 00:34, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is actually no longer the content that is being disputed. If you look at the latest version that got reverted on the article you can see the current version. I had made edits to it precisely because of valid WP:NPOV concerns brought to my attention by PSW. However, their dispute with the content remains with the claim that is is synthesis rather than any other concern. Which they have been thus far unable to obtain a consensus on. Sxbbetyy (talk) 17:27, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• I have some pretty serious WP:IDHT concerns about the topic starter here. They came to me for help (no idea how/why me, I have no connection to this dispute) and I repeatedly told them I didn't see any misconduct, and then they started attacking me when I refused to agree with them. And now this. This is a very simple content dispute, with a very simple no consensus means no change outcome. I've told them this. It's a disappointing time sink on a rather trivial content dispute. Sergecross73 msg me 00:52, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  At no point was he "attacked". I defended myself after he became hostile with me (as anyone can read in our convo, I stated multiple times that I would leave and did not want to be a burden if they didn't want to engage with this, but he made no such objections and continued). Eventually he just became outright hostile and refused to explain their points any further, devolving the conversation into them repeating themselves over and over, its all there to read on his talk page. As for why I contacted him, I wanted to ensure I chose impartially so I just randomly looked at the currently active admins at the time and he was the first one I found. Sxbbetyy (talk) 18:23, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  The discussion is right here, if anyone wants to look. The "attack" I'm referring to you is your accusation that I responded to you in bad faith. I was not involved in the dispute, have no stance on it, and had no pre-conceived notions about either of you - what in the world would my motivations be for "bad faith responses"? It doesn't make any sense. You simply didn't get the response you wanted, and proceeded to badger me on it. Did I get vaguely irritated when I volunteered my time to review and comment on a dispute I had no stance or interest in, only to get all sorts of sour grapes responses on it? Yeah, sure, but who wouldn't? Sergecross73 msg me 18:44, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm here from my input at the 3rd opinion request. This is nothing more than a trivial content dispute, I see no reason for this to be at ANI. I somewhat agree with the claim of synthesis, it becomes more susceptible to incorrect information, and from my analysis it seemed like the claim in the disputed content was completely wrong. Two different sources, from two different time periods. My $0.02: The claim of stonewalling is ridiculous, there was ample good-faith discussion based on existing policy and guidelines. This editor does not assume good faith, it appears that he claims that editors disagreeing are acting in bad faith. From him to administrator Sergecross73: "I'm not wasting time engaging with you if you aren't going to speak with me in good faith." It seems that he roots his argument based on the editor who removed it rather than the content itself. Very unfortunate waste of time. — BerryForPerpetuity (talk) 15:31, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Exactly. It's not "stonewalling" that's happening here. PerfectSoundWhatever has discussed at-length at the talk page. They're simply not willing to talk circles indefinitely. And we don't require that of editors. I've urged Sxbbetyy to, rather that spin their wheels arguing with the same person endlessly in a stalemate, to try to get other participants to take part. But they've refused, and instead decided to move their arguing to ANI instead. As I noted to them in one of my last comments to them, if they spent half as much effort in consensus-building as they did complaining and arguing, they could have built a consensus by now... Sergecross73 msg me 17:30, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Reading any of what I wrote in this dispute shows clearly that is not the case. Also, the quoted sentence is completely taken out of context.

  Here is what was said in the mesaage before that they left out, "Not really the logical conclusion one draws from reading any of what I wrote here, where I asked multiple times for you to explain your reasoning in your replies (instead your response was to repeat yourself without offering further explanation), but if that is what you want to take away from this that's fine by me. I'm not wasting time engaging with you if you aren't going to speak with me in good faith."

  The message as a whole was replying to was a passive aggressive insult that didn't progress that conversation, hence the response as it was clearly not an example of engagement in good faith.Sxbbetyy (talk) 18:34, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it looks like the participants in the dispute on the Team Seas article are acting as if this report is an extension of that dispute discussion.

This is a report of edit warring to revert disputed content prior to a consensus being reached (there was no consensus prior to the reversion and there still is no consensus, as admitted by PSW themselves in that very dispute and In their latest revert message, no idea why now in this report they are trying to claim that there is suddenly consensus for removal).

This is not a report on the dispute itself, just to make that very clear since those involved are responding as if it is. Sxbbetyy (talk) 18:41, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You've still got this backward. You need to show a consensus to keep your content in the article, as everyone else has been telling you. WP:ONUS is directly on point, and I'll quote it here: The responsibility for achieving consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content. MrOllie (talk) 18:53, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I have tried to inform them of this many times and many ways. I do not know why they cannot wrap their head around the concept. Conceptually, it would be very problematic if we were required to retain every disputed content until consensus ruled it out. It wouldn't be workable. Sergecross73 msg me 19:02, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody is arguing WP:ONUS here...not in the dispute and not here in this report. The point is that the content is being removed prior to there being a consensus on if it should be removed.

I was directly advised by admin Pbsouthwood that the removal of disputed content BEFORE any consensus has been reached is not allowed (save for specific situations, none of which apply to the disputed content) as this bypasses the consensus building process. Here is the talk page where I was advised this. This is echoed with the wording in WP:STONEWALLING and WP:STATUSQUO. Here is the direct quote from the latter, "To eliminate the risk of an edit war, do not revert away from the status quo ante bellum during a dispute discussion. Instead, add an appropriate tag indicating the text is disputed. For an article, many of the inline dispute tags are appropriate. For other pages, ^{[under discussion]} is good. Leave the status quo and the tag in place until the discussion concludes." Sxbbetyy (talk) 19:58, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The point is that the content is being removed prior to there being a consensus on if it should be removed. <--- No. This is your problem. What you are saying here is incorrect. Policies say the opposite of this. You are not going to get support at ANI. In fact, the longer you keep going with this WP:IDHT insistence that community practice is actually the opposite of what policies plainly say it is, the more likely it is you're going to find yourself blocked for disruption. Pbsouthwood didn't tell you this either (what he wrote doesn't match what you've been doing), and your initial question did not properly represent the situation at hand. But we can invite him here to see if he actually supports what you're doing here: @Pbsouthwood:, what say you? MrOllie (talk) 20:06, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This entire comment serves absolutely zero purpose whatsoever. You're parroting what others have already said with no supporting evidence. Along with throwing in an oddly included threat that is completely nonsensical and wholly unwarranted.

And while I could point out the myriad of ways your claim about what Pbsouthwood said was inaccurate, that would pretty much involve reposting his reply, which is a waste since anyone can already go to his talk page and read it themselves.

So at this point, if you need that admin to come here and tell you what they already said themselves, more power to you. Would save us all a ton of time to get an authoritative answer on this, especially with another admin holding the opposite view point, in spite of the specific policy wording. Sxbbetyy (talk) 23:08, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No matter how much you insist otherwise, there does not need to be an established consensus for the removal of content. Drop the stick. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 01:28, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not the one insisting otherwise...this report only exists because an admin told me otherwise. And as I've posted in my previous replies, the wording in the policies clearly support that. Makes me question how many have actually bothered to really read these policies... Sxbbetyy (talk) 02:22, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The other admin told you nothing about the removal of WP:SYNTH, which is always appropriate. Back away from the dead horse. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 03:19, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Come on, how many people need to tell you you're wrong? Sergecross73 msg me 02:05, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Have you considered starting an WP:RFC? The fact is that you made a WP:BOLD addition to the article; someone else objected to it, which means you now ought to seek consensus for your addition. As numerous people have told you, none of the relevant policies and guidelines (WP:ONUS, WP:BRD, WP:QUO, etc) would allow you to make a recent addition the "default" the way you want, but more generally - the problem is that you're trying to dig through policy for something that will make your preferred version the default, allowing you to have it in the article without having to demonstrate consensus for it even in the face of challenges. Even if the policies and guidelines I listed were on your side this would still be a bad way to approach it. You have a conflict, your goal should be to resolve it by making consensus as clear as possible - figuring out what the crux of the dispute is and then, if you can't reach a compromise, holding an RFC to see where consensus lies. Also, I have to point out that just by a quick nose count of people who have weighed in on talk, I'm seeing a dispute that is now three-to-one against you. That is a consensus - not a massive one, maybe an RFC will pull in a bunch of people that say something else, but it doesn't make sense for you to keep demanding a consensus to remove something you added when there actually is such a consensus on talk. You've disagreed with their arguments but they're not obliged to WP:SATISFY you; ultimately if you think your arguments are so strong and theirs are so weak, the only real option for you at this point is to start an RFC and hope that you can demonstrate that there. --Aquillion (talk) 04:10, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! It is bullying when you’re being biased editing and making false accusations. You’re accusing me of using multiple IP addresses to make disruptive edits (which is untrue) when my phone changes its IP address on its own. How’s that my fault? If you are going to ignore someone telling you the truth than yeah they are going to feel bullied because you’re making false claims about someone. 174.202.100.165 (talk) 20:04, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, if anyone looks at DJ Play a Christmas Song it says right in the page that duet with Giovanni Zarrella was released to Italian radio, making it a single and that’s sourced in the article itself, yet another false claim about me posting unsourced information. 174.202.100.165 (talk) 20:09, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This user is not showing any good faith nor is looking at any of the pages and realizing something like with DJ Play a Christmas Song and realizing “Oh, the page does say and is sourced that a different version of the song was released to radio stations in Italy, so it’s understandable that someone would consider that as being released as a single when it’s sourced in the page.” But am I being given the benefit of the doubt? Nope. Or looking at the fact that they can’t even do a simple Google search and see that the information I was trying to change on Unchained Melody: The Early Years shows the album showing up as a compilation album and not a reissue. I am sorry people can’t look things up for themselves and see that a user is just trying to post correct information that they are finding online. Of course anyone is going to feel bullied when you have numerous people coming at you for posting information based on what they are finding online. It’s not disruptive editing, what these users are doing is showing bad faith and of course to anyone that is going to come across as bullying. 174.202.100.165 (talk) 20:27, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And here’s another thing about DJ Play a Christmas Song, no one is explaining why it matters if a different version of a song was released to radio how that doesn’t make it a single or why it shouldn’t be included in the chronology of releases. They just keep saying “it’s a different version, not a different song”. There’s no proper communication here where no one is properly explaining what difference it makes as to whether a different version of the song was released to radio or not means it can’t be included in the infobox as a single release for the chronology. It’s very confusing. Also, I should add, I’m Autistic here and I am very detailed and no one is talking to me or properly explaining anything to me, instead they are just assuming that I am trying to do bad things when I am trying to make sure that information is correct based on my own research and what is already sourced in the article. 174.202.100.165 (talk) 20:34, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’d also like to point out that this user is showing that his is doing this not in good faith cause if you look at his talk page history I have been trying to communicate with him and he just reverts my post and removes them and doesn’t reply. Now this to me shows that this user is intentionally showing WP:Bad faith and is not giving me the benefit of the doubt at all. Now if someone was doing that and refusing to talk properly and is instead posting warnings right off the bat on your talk page, and not just one but multiple people are doing it, wouldn’t you feel bullied? I mean why do multiple people feel the need to gang up on someone? That’s very overwhelming and you all seem to forget that there are people on the other end of the screen that that can leave a very bad impression on. If they aren’t going to step back and look things up for themselves and expect someone else to do the work for them instead of doing a simple Google search or actually looking at the article for themselves and maybe seeing, well you don’t need to double source something that’s already sourced in an article.” doesn’t that show that the user is showing bad faith in a lot of their accusations here? 174.202.100.165 (talk) 20:54, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I am allowed to vocalize how all this makes me feel and these users are making sure I cannot do that. Of course I feel misinformation is being posted because the information doesn’t match up with something that anyone on here can look up for themselves. It also doesn’t help when users don’t go and look at the pages themselves to go and see if information is already sourced in the page. It also doesn’t help falsely accusing someone of intentionally using multiple IP addresses to cause disruptive editing when the actual people being disruptive are the editors on here and not the IP addresses. I don’t use a VPN, most are blocked by Wikipedia anyway, my phone just changes its IP address on its own and I have no control over that or when it does it or how often it does it, one day it’s one IP address the next day it can be something different, that’s beyond my control and it is not intentional and I have a right to say that a false accusation is being made to the accuser without others trying to silence me, which is also happening. Anyone else seeing that with any sense of morality would see that as bullying cause why are you trying to silence someone who is pointing out what you’re doing wrong because you can’t look up something for yourself or actually look at a page or you’re just making assumptions and false accusations? Like how I got falsely accused here of posting unsourced information when if you look at the page itself you can see it’s already sourced. 174.202.100.165 (talk) 21:04, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a dispute over an article content, take it to the article talk page not an editor's talk page. Talk:DJ Play a Christmas Song is empty, and Talk:Unchained Melody: The Early Years has nothing but bot edits from 16 years ago. So as far as anyone's concerned you haven't been discussing anything. And it's your responsibility to provide reliable sources, regardless of whether they may exist somewhere. A Google search is not a reliable source. Also the fact that a duet was released in 2024 doesn't prove it's the artist's next single. It's easily possible there are other singles which aren't mentioned because they're unrelated. You'd need a source to establish this chronology. Also if a single was only release on radio or is a different version of an earlier single, there might be dispute over whether this belongs. All this needs to be discussed when there is dispute. If you cannot come to agreement, you will need to use some form of WP:Dispute resolution to try and resolve the dispute. Ultimately you may also just have to accept WP:Consensus is against you. If consensus is against you, accusing others of spreading misinformation just because they have disagreements over definitions etc is definitely not okay. And again whether you find sources or whatever, please take it to the relevant article talk pages rather than anywhere else or edit warring. Also you have no rights here on Wikipedia, none of us do. The purpose of discussion should always primarily be about how to make Wikipedia better. While it's sometimes okay to discuss problems with an editor's actions, ultimately your feelings over something, even something that happened on Wikipedia, are stuff you need to address elsewhere and not on Wikipedia. Nil Einne (talk) 21:33, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, at least on this page, no one has accused your of intentionally misusing multiple IP addresses. They've just pointed out you've used multiple IP addresses which seems to be true. If you chose to edit from an IP and your IP changes, you're going to have to accept that editors point it out since it's relevant to how we handle blocking etc, and also means scrutinising your edit history is more difficult. While you might not be able to affect how your IP changes, it's your choice to edit without an account and so you need to accept the problems that results from that.
