Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:FF9600&oldid=768555211

Comments:
I proposed and implemented a new layout for the GPU chipset table (which is used in all of the aforementioned tables), which received positive feedback:

• Template talk:GPU Chipset Table#This template is a proposal for a new slightly modified GPU chipset table
• Template talk:AMD Radeon Rx 400
• Talk:List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units#Rx_300_table_width

This was all around 2 weeks ago. Now comes FF9600 around and reverts everything without further ado.

Wikiinger never proposed the changed of the GPU chipset table on the ACTUAL (AMD) GPU list talkpage. I proposed the actual discussion on the talk page & Wikiiner continues to revert the edits, therefore they are one that is edit warring. As I also pointed out more dramatic proposed changes to established articles should be via userspace (sandbox) or a draft and a discussion should take place on the article(s) affected by these changes, but Wikiinger continues to disregard my attempts at having a proper discussion.  #FF9600  talk 21:40, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Check the links above, I started a discussion AND received feedback. It is true that I did not start a discussion AMD GPU list talk page (since I found this talk page only later). However the templates are used in several articles, so it isn't clear at all where the best place for discussion is.
After starting the edit-war you made a poor attempt to criticize the new layout. While it is true that the new layout has issues, they are much less than with the old one. Also I'm open to discuss these and further improve the new layout (see Template talk:GPU Chipset Table), however just reverting to the old layout is not going to cut it.--Wikiinger (talk) 22:07, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

• No violation. Report only lists three reverts—you need four to breach 3RR. Please discuss the issue on the article talk page; if failing to reach a compromise, you may wish to set up an RFC, or list the dispute on DRN. Addendum: I have also protected the page for a few days to discourageedit warring and encourage discussion. El_C 21:56, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

I have not personally tried to resolve this edit war on the article talk page, but Anne Delong (talk · contribs) has. Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: 04:50, 11 February 2017.

Comments:

I am prompted to file this report because Koui² made this edit less than five hours after being served a formal {{subst:uw-3rr}} warning. I could have placed a 24-hour block upon Koui² (not for 3RR violation but for continuing to WP:EW after a formal warning); but instead have decided to bring both Koui² and the other party to the dispute, i.e. Iennes, to WP:ANEW to gauge the opinion that both should be blocked, also that a longer block may be necessary. Both have been claiming the other's edits to be vandalism, even though a plain and simple dispute over wording is not considered vandalism.

This dispute has been going on for weeks, and WP:3RR was violated by both users on 17 February 2017, for which a block could have been imposed, but seems to have gone unnoticed. If it had ceased there, this would be a stale report; but the dispute is clearly ongoing, and apparently began somewhat earlier. Since 23:46, 15 February 2017, the only edits made in mainspace by these two editors have been to the article Air (band); and since that date, the only edit made to that page which did not involve the disputed phrase was this link addition by Koui². I first became aware of the problem soon after I put the page on my watchlist when making this edit to its talk page at 21:40, 27 February 2017. Hence I was not aware of the 17 February 2017 violation at the time.

I realise that behaviour on other Wikimedia projects should have no bearing on the matter, but in their edit summaries, they have both mentioned the French Wikipedia; it seems that both been warned (and at least one of them has been blocked) on French Wikipedia for similar behaviour, see fr:Discussion utilisateur:Koui²#Air (groupe) and fr:Discussion utilisateur:Iennes#Blocage 1 semaine. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 10:58, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

  @El C: I've just noticed - the use of "both" in your closing comment, and in the section heading, implies that I was one of those that were blocked. For the record, I have never been blocked; the users blocked here were Koui² and Iennes. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 11:27, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Comments:

• L'honorable is the new account of Mabelina (talk · contribs) and was only granted an unblock after a successful WP:OFFER. He has immediately returned to the same pattern of behavior that got him blocked indefinitely in the past. I know from previous interactions that discussing the many reasons why his edits are wrong is totally pointless. He will simply carry on doing them regardless of how many times things are explained. DrKay (talk) 08:37, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Reply by L'honorable
This account is not a replacement of Mabelina (talk · contribs), which was my ex-wife's account name (which we jointly used).

I flagged up in advance DrKay's what has been a barely concealed premeditated attempt to instigate my being blocked "for edit-warring" at User talk:L'honorable#Blatant hostility from a fellow Wikipedian (much to my disappointment).

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on talk pages: far from edit-warring I addressed all the issues raised by DrKay with detailed answers at User talk:L'honorable#Blatant hostility from a fellow Wikipedian (much to my disappointment) and User talk:L'honorable#Capitalization and overlinking, as well as User talk:DrKay#Prince Albert.

No attempt was made by DrKay to co-operate by way of reply, before he moved directly to launching this Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring enquiry : I'm aware that you are trying to game the system but it's still edit-warring even if there aren't three reverts in 24 hours. You can avoid being blocked by undoing your last revert and raising individual issues on the talk page. DrKay (talk) 09:19, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

I am not trying to game any system, but shall do as he requests, and trust that DrKay and I can co-operate fully (in true Wiki spirit) for the future. Subsequent to which I deduce that DrKay can run rings around me on Wiki procedure, because he had already intervened thereby rendering the option (he suggested) impossible.

All best wishes for future co-operation, L'honorable (talk) 09:49, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Non-admin observation There is enough evidence that DrKay made attempts to get get a useful discussion going, both on his talkpage as on L'honorables talkpage. L'honorable is also amply warned on his talkpage that it is his own behaviour that brings him into trouble. The Banner talk 10:15, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello The Banner : fancy you popping up here! I know you absolutely detest me but there is no need to rub it in. L'honorable (talk) 10:25, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
PS. so much of our time is spent nowadays arguing, one wonders whether anything useful can ever be added to Wiki's pages. Why is it that you want me blocked? Please explain, because I presume that any block (if achievable, and however short), will then become a launch pad for my permanent exclusion under my own user name. DrKay's opening comment "only granted an unblock after a successful WP:OFFER" is most revealing, and lays bare his ulterior motive : to have me blocked ad infinitem. If I knew why, then I could possibly help remedy matters, but as things stand, ie. basis this flimsy allegation of edit-warring, I really am not sure how best to reply (given that I have provided a most detailed response elsewhere, qv. User talk:L'honorable). There must be something else which is bugging you, otherwise why would you go to such lengths? Without knowing the cause of your angst, it is not easy to remedy matters, please explain - many thanks. L'honorable (talk) 10:43, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

• The edits made by the Mabelina account are identical in tone, style and topic area to those made by L'honorable. The claim that the accounts were operated by different people is a variety of Wikipedia:My little brother did it that is neither sustainable nor believable. DrKay (talk) 10:48, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
  • Ah now I see it, you do not believe me (& therefore seek to reverse the decision made following the WP:OFFER). You seem not to like that decision and therefore are doing your utmost to get it reversed, now via a trumped-up allegation of edit-warring. Firstly, whatever either you or I may say will prove nothing either way; Secondly, what was your grievance against my ex-wife? (although I see no reason to get embroiled yet again in her disputes); and, Thirdly, I am so dumbfounded by this attempt at subterfuge, I request an adjournment so that all matters (as necessary) can be properly reconsidered. This is no way for Wiki to operate and I repeat that I am not Mabelina, and that my sole aim is to improve the quality of Wiki's info. L'honorable (talk) 11:13, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
    PS. disappointed to discover DrKay's ulterior motive : qv. Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion.

qte

@DrKay: you are right about that - the discussion has spread like wild fire and as you attest boils down to whether or not I am Mabelina. I am not, but I am glad that we have at last got to the bottom of why you are so keen to see me blocked (nonetheless I am not so naïve as to think this is the last I will hear about this). When will my divorce ever end? L'honorable (talk) 11:32, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

unqte

(Non-administrator comment) I can't find any signs of you discussing your preferred wording on the article's talk page, despite reverting another editor with the edit summary "See Discussion". That you mentioned it on your user talk page is not relevant in this context - the editor you pinged may or may not have seen it, but other editors who are interested in the discussion certainly won't. Secondly, repeatedly changing directly quoted text in a featured article is completely inappropriate (it seems that you have issues with the way the sources write, but that does not matter - when text is quoted, the original text must be kept even if there should be grammar errors or stylistic infelicities there.) When this was pointed out to you, you never acknowledged it, instead talking about the phrasing and orthography as if your way was obviously the only right one, and if anybody disagreed it was only because they had misunderstood you. That's a third problem, right there. --bonadea contributions talk 11:45, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

• No violation. Fails to meet the burden of four reverts in 24 hours (first revert is March 2, fourth revert is March 5). A note to L'honorable, the username policy states: "usernames should not be shared between more than one individual," so I'm glad to learn you have your own account now. Please do not share an account in the future. El_C 13:52, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Comments:

User is committed to pushing this heavy-handed unencyclopedic tone and promotional version of an article he or she seems to have an unambiguous clear association with. Note, the user also wrote a since deleted page on Kronos Advisory, the company founded by the subject of the article.

Seems to have made it clear they will revert every time regardless of details. I left an explanation on their Talk page (not a TW warning) and they suddenly wrote essentially the same thing on my User Talk saying I was adding an "obscure blog" the only ref added when I updated the page was to Newsweek magazine -- no blog has been added.

Despite not being able to select three reverts here, they've made them and probably still will as User is not engaging with the substance of the complaints by other editors, namely that it is promotional, and a career roundup with a grossly overwritten newspaper style, to say nothing of the almost certain COI/NPOV issue.

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: [44] (note the response: "Deal with it")

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [45] (there's a couple discussion on talk. TheBD2000 has not participated in any of them)

Comments:

The user has made seven reverts in the recent past, at least five of these within the last 24 hrs. Note that the fifth revert was made *after* an edit warring warning was made. Judging by their response - "Deal with it" - they appear to have no intention of stopping. This is an edit war against multiple editors (at least three - myself, User:Frederickmsp and User:HelgaStick) Volunteer Marek (talk) 14:20, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

• Comment I've reviewed this report; the content in dispute is the statement that "... [the subject of the article has been criticized] as being similar to lists of 'Jewish' crimes publicized in Nazi Germany." The statement is sourced to this article. The source is an "analysis" piece from the Washington Post "WorldViews" section—an editorial. It's a professional article written by a staff writer for a credible journalistic institution and the facts presented needn't necessarily be questioned, but I don't see anything within the article to support the actual claim that is in dispute. It's the author herself who is drawing the parallel and even she does not draw the comparison unequivocally. Since this is dangerous BLP territory, I'm declining to action and will be involving myself on the talk page instead. Per WP:INVOLVED I cannot rule on this report but it is my opinion that the content in question is dubiously sourced and solidly under the purview of WP:BLP and thus the reverts are exempt. Will expand on the talk page. Swarm ♠ 21:36, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

First, that isn't the only source. Second, if you're gonna involve yourself then don't close this request as "declined". Third, how is this "BLP"? This is about a freakin' law.Volunteer Marek (talk) 22:52, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

I would also like to point out that at no point did TheBD2000 invoke "BLP" (which frankly would've been - and still is - silly, since this is not about a person). And seven reverts is seven reverts, even if one thinks they're right.Volunteer Marek (talk) 22:56, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

What you call reverts were actually attempts to compromise notations of reductio ad hitlerum content given that I never saw it to be necessary. I did not edit war because I hardly reverted any edits and only amended them, barely removing any content. If you would like to continue with this issue, I will not agree to stop editing the article entirely, but whatever it is you want me to do, I might do it. TheBD2000 (talk) 21:37, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

There's seven diffs up there. They're all reverts. You were warned after the fourth one. You kept going. You were warned again. You said "Deal with it!". This is dealing with it. You've edit warred, you knew you were edit warring, you kept on edit warring despite warnings, and you implicitly promised to continue edit warring. Oh, and you failed to participate in the discussion until the last minute.Volunteer Marek (talk) 22:58, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

I did not make more than three reverts, Volunteer Marek. Calm the fuck down and keep this civil, please. You're the only one causing people problems. TheBD2000 (talk) 23:29, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

There's seven diffs right up there, each one of them a revert. And you don't really "calm" anything by telling people to "calm the fuck down", nor are you "keeping things civil". This just throws in WP:BATTLEGROUND along with the edit warring.Volunteer Marek (talk) 23:32, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

• Warned TheBD2000, I came close to blocking you when this report was opened for your misuse of warning templates and the "notes" you tried to add to the article. Please note that discretionary sanctions covers standards of behavior. NeilN ^{talk to me} 05:54, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

and much more editions, which can be seen in his page, he just changes with redundant sources or even without sources and with fake data, for example he used a website which talks about the politicians wages in 2013, and he changed as he wanted the wage on Italy using that source? I warned him on his talk page and he fastly deleted that [58]

He also changed the economic data of the page of Italy with fake numbers even referencing the official IMF source which doesn't say and support the numbers he gave. I changed those numbers he edited to the ones from the official IMF source and he reverted here my change [59] although another user has reverted his change and from that day he didn't edit that page further.

Anioni (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) – actions evidently indicate a vandalism-only account. This user is suspected to be the same user as Sad9721, a user which was banned from Wikipedia doing the same redundant editions on the same topics/articles. This time is List of European countries by average wage. He accuses me for being "anti-italian" because I revert his non consensual changes with redundant sources (one source he used was referencing this wikipedia article of the list of european countries as the main source, Wikipedia can't be a valid source for a Wikipedia article!) then changed it to a source which talks about the politicians wages (nothing related to the article) and then putting fake numbers which can't be found even in his sources and he also said that it's data from 2013. I reverted his changes by putting the official EUROSTAT (european statistic agency, official EU organism) numbers from 2015 on it and he keeps deleting those numbers and changing the aspect of the page.

Also threatens me on the talk page of that article that he will delete any of my changes because "I make them without consensus" (while he started changing the aspect of the page in 28th of February without any kind of consensus and putting redundant sources) and because I just use the official data he calls me that i'm "anti-italian" and "aggresive" and doesn't change his mood, again today he not only changed the data of Spain and Italy in that page, he also deleted their official data from EUROSTAT and also deleted the source! Here are the proves. [[60]] this is when all started, after this edition he maded 19 editions in a row in the page List of European countries by average wage which every one of it was an redundant edition without trustworthy sources. Then I changed his editions to the official sources and all started.

In his profile can be seen that he just edits the same topics, I warned him on his talk page and he directly deleted it and keeping in the same mood. He went to warn EdJohnston about "my vandalism" and EdJohnston said the same to him, that I tried to change his mood in his talk page and he deleted it. He also maded editions on the page of Italy by faking the official IMF economic numbers of Italy and changing the numbers while the numbers are referenced with the official IMF source, he changed them even if that's not what the page of IMF says and then when I reverted his edition with fake numbers he reverted mine again! [[61]] and here is the proof when today deleted the numbers of Spain and Italy in the article mentioned before just because he wanted, deleting the official numbers from the official source.

Comments:

I noticed a rather controversial statement in the article above, stating that the subject of the article was eccentric, disorganised, and had "behavioral oddities". I could not verify this information because it did not have an inline citation, so I added tags to indicate that a citation was needed. My expectation was that someone who knew where the material had come from would simply add a citation tag to the end of the appropriate sentences. I am pretty disgusted by what in fact happened, which was that two people have edit warred to simply remove the tags. It defies explanation, and I believe these two users most likely simply feel a sense of ownership of the article and resent my attempt to improve it. I do not think anyone has violated the 3RR but their disruptive behaviour really needs to be stopped. 128.40.9.164 (talk) 20:24, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

• Blocked – for a period of 24 hours. IP, that is, Boomerang-blocked. The other two users did not breach 3RR, though they are cautioned for edit warring. Maybe just give the ip the source they're asking for in order to resolve this once and for all. El_C 20:33, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

• We did: [74][75]. This same IP has been warned for edit-warring twice in the last three months[76][77]. Note to IP: the diffs of 3RR warnings provided above do not meet minimum standards. The warnings should come before the 3RR report not at the same time. Reports should only be filed after a warning has been given and ignored. DrKay (talk) 20:39, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

• I stand corrected. I would suggest maybe quote the relevant passage from those pages to the IP. And maybe add a ref to that spot with those specific page nos. El_C 21:19, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Move warring and edit warring over unsourced content. KATMAKROFAN (talk) 00:38, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

I've blocked 24 hours, which is the standard first offense block... I'm going to leave it to someone else to decide if they want to close this, or discuss whether a longer block is justified, as this was pretty bad, and even resulted in move warring. I have no objection if another admin wants to go with a longer duration. Monty₈₄₅ 00:53, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Jimthing has been edit warring against consensus to include poorly-sourced material. Three editors have attempted to remove it and explained why on the talk page. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:17, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but each editor there has given differing reasons for removing ALL the data I added; under a I don't like it syndrome, rather than proper WP policy, each using differing excuses for removal. Even if they disagree with parts, then they should edit the parts they feel are not sourced or break WP policy, not simply remove ALL the text I added for the parts with valid sources, that make it perfectly acceptable under WP rules.

I attempted to bring this discussion to the WP:RFP page first, to lock the page down however the user has chose to go way beyond what that page is for, and potentially beyond here as well. He appears to be using an IP address as a WP:SOCK to do additional reverts and changes, as you can tell by comparing their contributions [83] and [84]. In addition he has tried moving the page in addition to his other random moves through copy and pasting [85] and after it was undone the IP user redid it [86]. Therefore I would say on top of edit warring there are plenty of other violations as well. - Galatz^Talk 18:13, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

• No violation. I'm not sure that fourth diff is a revert, it it seems like just an edit. So, unless you can prove to me that it is a revert, I'm ruling this as no breach of 3RR. But Unknownassassin is still admonished, and is cautioned, about edit warring. I have also protected the page for a week. El_C 18:53, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

@El C: Thanks. He moved the page originally here which was moved back, he then moved it again here and it was moved back, and then again moved it here. Meaning 2RR relating to the move, and then the first 2 make 4. If we look into the IP sock account he also had [87] making 5.

Also since you locked it from moving can you also move back to the original page Prison Break (season 5) so a proper move request can be made and addressed? - Galatz^Talk 18:59, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

@El C:Also it appears only Admins can edit the page now, did you mean to do that? - Galatz^Talk 19:09, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

• Blocked – for a period of 24 hours. Page unprotected. El_C 19:25, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

@El C: Thanks so much for your help! Sorry to be a pain but can you move the page back to the original page Prison Break (season 5), due to the way he went about moving everything only an admin can move it now. - Galatz^Talk 19:30, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Comments:

• No violation. You need four reverts to breach 3RR. Page protected for a week. Also, that's not the article talk page you link to below the heading attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page, Mlpearc, and more importantly, I'm not seeing your attempt to convince Paintboxing. Please take it to the article talk page, both of you. Honestly, I would have expected for you to have tried speaking plainly to Paintboxing rather than only through templates. Now you two have a week to figure it out. And Paintboxing, just because the article happened to have been protected on your version, does not mean you can shy away from the conversation for the week. (Note that I have been known to ignore all rules and revert to the other person's version, as a motivator, if I see a lack of participation on the article talk from the right-version party.)
