== Nblund, uncivil behavior, unproductive discussion ==

Recently, [[User:Nblund|Nblund]] has made comments on my [[User_talk:Ihuntrocks|talk page]] which do not make me feel welcome in the Wikipedia community. In specific the assertion that I am going to "wear out my welcome here" by participating in the Jack Posobiec [[Talk:Jack_Posobiec|talk page]] to attempt to address NPOV issues, as well as on the [[Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view/Noticeboard#Jack_Posobiec|NPOV noticeboard]] regarding the same. In addition to this attempted intimidation intended to cause me to cease participation in the Wikipedia community, Nblund has engaged in repeated non-productive discussions on the Jack Posobiec talk page, my talk page, and now the NPOV noticeboard about the subject. Specifically, the user repeatedly enters the conversation, but has refused to address the specific topics of discussion with respect to NPOV policy questions and discussion, asserts opinions in place of verifiable facts when facts are both requested and required, and does so in a consistent tone which is meant to dismiss and discourage discussion. 

At this time, I request input/arbitration/intercession from administrative members of Wikipedia in resolving both the individual conflict and the issue of repeated insertion of unproductive discussion in an attempt to resolve an ongoing NPOV issue with the biography of a living person. Thank you. [[User:Ihuntrocks|Ihuntrocks]] ([[User talk:Ihuntrocks|talk]]) 00:08, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

Update: Nblund's most recent message to me on my talk page includes the direct phrase "you are not welcome on Wikipedia" in reference to my continued participation in attempting to resolve an ongoing NPOV issue.

:::''I apologize if I have taken what were meant as comments designed to deter further participation, however couched, as comments meant to deter further participation''
:::Since the comments were clearly NOT "designed to deter further participation" -- I even bolded the appropriate parts, the IF clauses, to draw attention to them -- your already non-apology apology is doubly meaningless. Unless, of course, you think that you are ONLY able to participate if you are allowed to accuse everyone of being disingenuous or if you consistently fail to assume good faith of other editors. I, for one, am not buying what you're selling.

*Ihuntrocks deserves a lot of tolerance as a new user, so I'll [[WP:AGF|assume]] they don't realize what a poor impression their input in this very ANI thread makes, with the misleading partial quotes and the toxic non-apology to Nblund.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=923831416&oldid=923828875] I'm glad to see they're contemplating moving on to other topics than [[Jack Posobiec]]. If they do, [[User:Ad Orientem|Ad Orientem]] is to be commended for his tact and patience in bringing it about. If they don't, I for my part will be contemplating a topic ban. [[User:Bishonen|Bishonen]] &#124; [[User talk:Bishonen|talk]] 12:13, 31 October 2019 (UTC).

*For what it's worth, these diffs seem rather measured and while I don't always agree with Nblund, I don't see that they were doing anything wrong.  My experience is they are an editor who will talk respectfully with you even if they disagree with you.  That said, I can also see why the new editor was unhappy with the article from a BLP POV.  The first sentence says the article subject is an "internet troll" in Wikivoice.  This was an edit DrFleischman added in April 2018 and has been restored by a number of editors since.  I have no idea who the subject of the article is but we should never be calling BLP subjects trolls in Wikivoice.  I can see why a new user might think they are helping a bad article when getting involved with it.  This is a classic example of a Wiki article that makes it clear the editors are trying to persuade the reader vs deliver the facts.

* In retrospect my second comment kind of reads like a dare to file a frivolous report. That was dumb on my part. Otherwise, yeah, I think Ihuntrocks should recalibrate, and I really was trying to give frank advice. Ad Orientem seems to have a good handle on the user, and I'm happy to discuss reasonable content issues in an appropriate venue.

*Ok. I have proceduraly closed the two noticeboard discussions with a note urging interested editors to discuss any issues on the article talk page. I have reopened the talk page discussion which was closed in good faith, but I believe precipitously under the mistaken impression that Ihuntrocks was dropping the matter. That said, they are taking my advice and stepping back from this particular content dispute. In closing I would encourage any experienced editors to have a look at the article. While the way they handled this may have at times been inelegant, I am not completely convinced that their concerns are utterly meritless. However, as I am heavily INVOLVED in my capacity as an admin that's as far as I am willing to go. -[[User:Ad Orientem|Ad Orientem]] ([[User talk:Ad Orientem|talk]]) 16:41, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

== Disruptive editing by User:Claytonisabelle22 ==

Disruptive editing by [[User:Claytonisabelle22]] at [[Gelato]] over several days. Non-responsive to talk page warnings about tone/style, citations, disruptive editing, BRD. It seems that they are a student editor, but appears to have gone through training modules and such, so should know about some of Wikipedia's policies - so I do not think they should really be given a break here after continuing to add the same problematic edits over and over without response to talk page warnings.

To add onto what [[User:Vaselineeeeeeee]], it appears that there could potentially actually some tag-team edit warring going on. {{u|Maurabuggey}} and {{u|Claytonisabelle22}} seemed to be tag-teaming to force the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gelato&oldid=922847717 this unencyclopedic paragraph] into the [[Gelato]] [[article]] as seen [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gelato&oldid=922847717 here] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gelato&type=revision&diff=923674656&oldid=922848125 here] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gelato&diff=next&oldid=923679114 here].

:::::::::I concur with Bbb23 here.

:::::::::::Thanks for your input, Ian. I think Bbb23 needed to add more detail to his several posts - saying something is nonsense without an adequate explanation is nonsense, saying "We are ''not'' going to block the student" seems to imply you are willing to give special treatment to the student just because they are a student. In this case, yes, it is not an emergency, but the fact of the matter is is that they have gone against more than one policy that would have gotten any other unresponsive user or IP a 24 hour block. The program is meant to better educate them, sure, but this student has gone through all the training modules and has been called upon on their talk page several times to no response to their continual disruptive editing - they should ''already'' be educated in how to respond to a situation like this, and instead just ignored it.

I noticed that [[user:Winged Blades of Godric]] left a terse edit summary that did not really explain anything when reverting me.

:I can’t say that it necessarily rises to NOTHERE, but I’ve seen this behavior before I find it troubling. In a recent AFD discussion, the user was extremely brusque in both edit summaries (eg reverting comments by other users with “go away” and “busybodies”) and in their interaction with other editors, to the point where they felt the need to delete or collapse comments that they disagreed with. We happened to be on the same side of that discussion but it is still a problematic way to conduct oneself and I am disappointed that  admins chose not to discourage this behavior after the AFD was closed.

*IMHO, you're both acting suboptimally, but you (Walter) were being more annoying.  WBG's original edit summary and response to your messages aren't good, but I can kind of understand the frustration shown in the responses.  DTTR is not policy, but it's a good description of how many people react to being templated, so whether you agree with DTTR or not, you shouldn't be too surprised.  Your repeated follow up messages on his page also had a low likelihood of success, as did saying he is not here to build an encyclopedia.  So yes, calling you a troll is wrong (you are not a troll), but IMHO you're more wrong here.  Maybe everyone go back to their separate corners? Or a reminder to you to not template regulars, and a reminder to WBG to leave better edit summaries?

:: If the edit summary was actually backed on the talk page, the edit order would have been support JzG on Buy Nothing Day article, leave talk page comment, (politely) revert template left on own talk to the effect of DTTR—which I have done numerous times—and ask to discuss if necessary, then defend Kim Jong-un article. The behaviour appears to be an afterthought. Of course if Winged Blades of Godric is actually an account used by multiple editors that order makes perfect sense, where editor one supports you and immediately starts to comment on the article talk page, while editor two is busy on the Kim Jong-un article, sees the alert of an update on the talk page and reverts the editor they've never seen before for reasons they are unfamiliar with. I don't think that's the case either though. [[User:Walter Görlitz|Walter Görlitz]] ([[User talk:Walter Görlitz|talk]]) 23:30, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

*My edit sum could have been better, ''certainly''.

I also note that I had provided a clear explanation at the t/p, ~5 minutes after my edit, which is easily acceptable.

::::{{u|Winged Blades of Godric}}, I see your perspective here. Being templated by WG was understandably cause for angst. And you are free to remove messages. But when WG left you another message (handwritten this time), you should have attempted to talk to WG, or sought an intermediary. Communication is expected. This all could have been cleared up if you had replied with something friendly, along the lines of "Oh Hi Walter, sorry about calling you a troll, got templated and thought you were a newbie and didn't look close enough. Please [[WP:DTTR|don't template the regulars]]. In terms of your concern, I actually did leave a summary, and I explained it on the talk page. Hope this clears up any misunderstanding :)" Now I'm not saying that you're at sole fault here, I do think it was quite petty on WG's part to leave you that message. But you should have stayed cool and defused things. Instead we're here. I honestly don't see any action coming out of this, besides perhaps a dual [[WP:TROUT|trouting]].

Recently, I added an infobox to the article [[The Right Stuff (blog)]], which included the location of where the organisation is based and a logo and referenced information of individuals involved in the group. Subsequently, the user [[User:Grayfell|Grayfell]] spammed [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Benjiphillips&diff=prev&oldid=924142432 my talkpage] with aggressive warning markers about "Using Wikipedia for advertising or promotion". My edit to the article adding relevent information, consists of neither or these things and is simply improving Wikipedia content on the topic. When I questioned Grayfell on this, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Grayfell&diff=prev&oldid=924142566 he simply deleted my message from his talkpage] and accused me of "[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Grayfell&diff=prev&oldid=924142745 playing stupid]." I have found Grayfell's behaviour to be extremely rude, bad faith and not conductive to collaborative editing on Wikipedia. In fact, his attitude appears to be to disuade editors from building content on Wikipedia and developing articles, which is supposed to be the whole purpose of the project. I would like the community to take a look at this editor so that he can be encouraged to reform his poor behaviour. [[User:Benjiphillips|Benjiphillips]] ([[User talk:Benjiphillips|talk]]) 02:40, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

:Yes, let's take a closer look at this, I agree, but this probably is't the right forum. I have started a talk page discussion for at least one of these pages at [[Talk:Renegade Tribune]]. Benjiphillips has added a lot of unsourced or primary-sourced information to articles on obscure neo-Nazi podcasts and "news websites". While superficially neutral, this content is in a conversational tone and is mostly flattering. Since Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion or [[WP:OR]], especially not for Nazi crap, this information should not be restored. For now, at least, the place to discuss this would be the article's talk pages, where this editor has not contributed.

:::You accused me specifically of "using Wikipedia for advertising or promotion", where there is no evidence of that.

Or how throwing around such accusations from your part falls inline with [[WP:Assume good faith]]?

:::Are the contributors to the in depth [[theory of relativity]] article "promoting" or "advertising" the theory or relativity or are they rather contributing content to an encyclopedia? Any of the work I have added, I have tried my best to use relevant citations and if you feel citiations are lacking in certain areas, then there is always a tag for that. Could you explain what you mean by a "controversial tone" and "superficially neutral"? Its either neutral or it isn't. Article guidelines say to only add content with a [[WP:NPOV]], which I have tried to do. 

:::Do you think your aggressive approach and flagrant bad faith is conductive to building a collaborative encyclopedia? [[User:Benjiphillips|Benjiphillips]] ([[User talk:Benjiphillips|talk]]) 03:07, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
::::Depends on whether you think changing "anti semitic" to "anti-Jewish" to describe an antisemitic blog is non controversial or just NPOV, I suppose. Although saying all you did was "add an infobox" (which what Greyfell was responding to with the "playing stupid " comment), when quite a bit more was added with both that edit, and considerably more with ensuing ones could be considered just a tad disingenuous.

I am attempting to update the page 'Collapse of the World Trade Center' to improve neutrality by presenting alternative perspectives from reliable sources.
 
Although I am complying with Wikipedia guidelines with respect to neutrality and reliable sources, I am being threatened to be blocked by editors Drmies and Johnuniq.

Wikipedia guidelines with respect to neutrality state:

‘All encyclopedic content on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view (NPOV), which means representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all of the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic.’

I have numerous reliable sources to cite which fall well within the Wikipedia guidelines on reliable sources.

The editors accuse me of false science yet fail to support their accusations, and threaten to block me. 

Most recently I have been advised 'we don't have time or inclination to debate alternative theories', which seems in direct contravention of:

'representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all of the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic.’

Below are some sources which meet the Wikipedia guidelines on reliable sources:

‘Fourteen Points of Agreement with Official Government Reports on the World Trade Center Destruction’, Jones S, Legge F, Ryan K, Szamboti A, 4 and Gourley J, The Open Civil Engineering Journal, 2008, 2, 35-40

‘Active thermitic material discovered in dust from the 9/11 world trade center catastrophe’, Harrit N, Farrer J, Jones S, Ryan K, Legge F, Farnsworth D, Roberts G, Gourley J & Larsen B, The Open Chemical Physics Journal, 2009, 2, 7-31

‘Environmental anomalies at the World Trade Center: evidence for energetic materials’
Ryan K, Gourley J & Jones S. The Environmentalist, 2009, 29(1), 56–63 

’15 years later on: the physics of high-rise building collapses’  Jones S, Korol R, Szamboti, A & Walter, T,  Europhysics News, 2016, 47 (4)

I have attempted to discuss the matter with the editors, but they refuse, as can be seen at the websites below:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Dr_Realidad#Original_research%2C_reliable_sources%2C_we%27re_not_a_forum%2C_and_competence_is_required

I tried to explain to them on their talkpage how things work on Wikipedia in general, and with categories specifically,[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AInfo_Anonym&type=revision&diff=922380217&oldid=922059489], and likewise I tried to inquire how he came to edit those category pages. Out of [[WP:MEAT]] concerns. He, however, has not given a satisfactory explanation to my [[WP:MEAT]] concerns, as I noticed [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Info_Anonym&diff=922724336&oldid=922701975 here], nor does his [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:People_of_Jewish_descent&diff=923620168&oldid=917582383 edit of today] show that he understands what how [[WP:ONUS|burden of showing consensus]] works, or, alternatively, he does not understand how the history shows on whom the burden of showing consensus lies. In addition, he does not understand that he is effectively involved in edit warring on a few connected pages about one and the same issue. This, despite my efforts to explain this on his talkpage.

I think we might benefit from a block till such time as he lays the [[WP:MEAT]] concerns to rest, ''and'' shows that he understands how to edit responsibly in accordance with Wikipedia policies in guidelines. [[User:Debresser|Debresser]] ([[User talk:Debresser|talk]]) 18:41, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

:I did not only edit in connection with these categories apart from today. That is a lie. You can check my contributions from the 23rd, 24th and 25th October. 
:You also never mentioned to me on my talk page that you were asking me out of [[WP:MEAT]] concerns. Knowing I am a new editor you could have told me that. To me that seemed like an irrelevant question at best if not an assumption of bad faith. I did however already answer that question the first time you asked. I explained to you that I saw Middle Eastern categories being removed from every Jewish article and category, which is what got me involved. I am however planning on staying and I have already been editing on pages outside of those. Then you asked me a second time which I of course did not answer a second time. Apart from that, I have noticed that discussions about that topic have been going on for two years at least constantly involving you and other accounts from the current discussion. I don't know why you would assume that now suddenly one of them would create a second account or tell their friend to do that? 
:You yourself are engaged in edit warring. You even broke [[WP:1RR]] here: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:American_people_of_Jewish_descent&action=history] on the 23rd of October reverting twice in only two hours which you as an experienced editor should know better. I also already answered your concern about the lack of consensus issue but you ignored it. The category talk [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_talk:North_American_Jews] started off as a removal discussion. That is why [[WP:DON'T PRESERVE]] is relevant. You need consensus to remove the category, which you didn't get. So I ask you to revert your removals of that category. Especially the removal of the category "People of Middle Eastern descent" from "People of Jewish descent". We were talking about overcategorization by putting Middle Eastern descent, South West Asian descent, Asian descent etc. on every Jewish category. That could be circumvented if the Jewish descent category was a subcategory of the Middle Eastern descent category.  
:I know how to edit responsibly, I have been mentioning guidelines to you all throughout our discussion in the category talk. But you ignored not only that but also arguments from the opposing side making the talk extremely ineffective.

:: You indeed made (a few) more edits that were not connected to Jewish descent categories. My apologies. Doesn't really change my point, though.
:: You still did not explain how you all of a sudden came to notice these categories. This is the second time now you are circumventing the real question.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Info_Anonym&diff=922724336&oldid=922701975]
:: I asked about my [[WP:MEAT]] concerns without referring specifically to that policy, for obvious reasons.
:: This thread is not about the content issue, rather about the behavioral issue. You basically continue here to explain your (incorrect) understanding of the relevant policies and guidelines, adding a few (incorrect) accusations at my address. So basically you are continuing the edit warring attitude.
:: I came her with two concerns: [[WP:MEAT]] and [[WP:EDITWAR]]/[[WP:TE]]. Both concerns remain very much in place. [[User:Debresser|Debresser]] ([[User talk:Debresser|talk]]) 22:26, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

:At this point you’re calling every of my edits edit warring. How is this to be taken seriously? I reverted two recent reverts one of which was done by you and the other by another account on your side of talking points without consensus after both of you just stopped replying in the talk. Thus, those first two reverts were actually engaging in edit warring. As you have done repeatedly and very heavily throughout this discussion - as an experienced account. 
:And you provided no evidence for [[WP:TE]] you just quickly added that into your report in your reply to me here. And you know that up until now that has actually been an accusation made towards you. 
:You’re making me very uncomfortable of editing things I am allowed to edit (although there’s actually a much more serious case to be made against you but I’m not going to report yet because I want the talk to continue). I stoped engaging in the little bit of edit warring I have maybe unknowingly engaged in in my very first few days on Wikipedia a long time ago now (you did so having had your account for years.)
:Concerning [[WP:MEAT]], I also already told you that it was through another Wikipedia account. I saw the category missing on one page (don’t remember which) and saw in the edit source that this account removed it, went to his contributions and saw that he removed it from 20 other pages. I don’t know what you want to hear and why that is so surprising to you after a two year discussion that sometimes new people join. 
:(I’ll reply in the talk a little later, now that you finally decided to engage in it again and to react to what was actually written to you.)

== Potential COI editor ==

Hi, this IP seems to be a potential COI editor that is undisclosed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sun_Country_Airlines&diff=prev&oldid=887936657 Removed entire controversy section from article - which even though that section likely needed removed is still relevant here.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sun_Country_Airlines&diff=prev&oldid=923546064 Added a reservations phone number.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sun_Country_Airlines&diff=prev&oldid=888647939 Removed COI template.

All editing seems to surround Sun Country Airlines, and the IP is registered to a company that from Google search appears to also have an office providing "consulting" among other things in Minneapolis, the HQ of Sun Country.

An ip had tried to reach out to this user about adding some tv show's episode listing, on {{Pagelinks|Black Clover (season 3)}}. And I gave advice to say [[WP:CRYSTALBALL]]. But the ip went to talk to me about this user. That their mainly unresponsive on their talk page. On a concern that if adding a tv show's episode too early, it doesn't match the refs/ or sources it presents. Per [[WP:VERIFY]].

:If I wasn't clearer earlier ago, I was digging more into this. If it's around Monday at 15:00 (UTC) and until the show; Black Clover has finished airing on Tuesday at 9:55 (UTC). There is a short timeline where you can find the next episode's name. But during that time what happens if it doesn't say anything about it. Then in the last two weeks the IP removed Rahmadiabsyah's edits because the ref,<ref name="Bc episodes"/> doesn't tell what is the next episode's name and the IP remove it. Then asked Rahmadiabsyah, about this inquiry. Before the show's tv schedule has been updated on Monday at 15:00 (UTC) or later on. Then it raises a question of mine, if Rahmadiabsyah doesn't edit often and doesn't reply to messages when the IP had a concern about this two weeks ago.

Could y'all help me clearly understand the issue? As far as I understand it, Rahmadiabsyah has been adding episodes of a TV series before they air, which would violate [[WP:CRYSTAL]]. Rahmadiabsyah has not responded to this conversation, but continues to edit. Have they continued making edits to Black Clover? Are there any other issues you have with them?

== Mass creation of articles in mainspace ==

I came across [[Draft:Etropole Literary School]] which was made by {{U|Powerfox}} after having a look at some of the newly created pages. I ended up moving this one to draftspace, however upon posting to notify the user on their talkpage, I can see a huge list of articles that have been deleted, either via speedy, PROD, AFD and the stale drafts. There have also been copyvio concerns. It seems the user has a habit for mass creation of articles directly in mainspace which are lacking adequate, reliable secondary sources, most are short and a lot have no talk pages that should be created with the relevant WikiProject's. No use of edit summaries.

I've moved a few of their recently created articles to draft space, but it seems the user creates a very short article and then moves onto the next. Here's an [[Basil I of Bulgaria|example of an article]] that was created back in November 2016; 2 edits and that's it. Not here to put this user off from contributing to the encyclopedia but I definitely think administrator advice is needed.

:I hope this doesn't sound rude, but couldn't you message them directly?

While I may have gone a little too far with a badly formulated warning, I think this may be an ongoing problem.  I am not sure if it is to hide their trail, but they blanked both their Thai and their English Wikipedia talk pages as well.  This is what their talk page looked like before the blanking:  [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Evrdkmkm&oldid=923351672]

I would be welcome to work with the editor to improve their edits, but tendentiously using "fake news" and "unreliable sources" in their edit summaries seems to slow down improvement to the page and I may not have the willpower and energy to do so.  Which is why I am leaving a message here to see what needs to happen to correct this behavior.

:On one hand, the information they're trying to remove does seem out of place in this article: although it's reliably sourced it is a rumour, and one which apparently was proven false after some time. More like conjecture about a business venture that ended up not proceeding than an outright fabrication, but somewhat irrelevant all the same. On the other hand, using "fake news" in an edit summary doesn't seem to fit here. I think the three of you (with {{ul|Jjj1238}}) should discuss the matter on the article's talk page.

so {{userlinks|Jjj1238}} always undone rumors details to the article. And he always undone details on other pageant articles that add by other editors, feel like his own the pageant page that any editor cant add the details.

{{atop|Moot, as unfortunately the OP has decided to leave Wikipedia. I do find {{u|SharabSalam}}'s tone here to be incendiary and aggressive, but that seems to be more of a result of protracted frustration with Graull's own combativeness.

I really don't want to cause anyone headache or create trouble so please close this. I am leaving wikipedia. [[User:Graull|Graull]] ([[User talk:Graull|talk]]) 15:12, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello. I am constantly being harassed by a user called Sharabsalam. He has attacked my edits since I first started editing in wikipedia. You can see my talk page he has constantly bombarded my talk page with investigations, threats, and commands on what I should or should not edit (last time I checked the internet is free). I have asked advice from a kind user called El C here to see if my edits are problematic but i find it peculiar that this user is the only person who keeps finding my edits problematic. No one has told me that my edits are wrong except him. It sound he or she dosent like that I edit AQAP in Yemen related articles and keeps attacking me with different reasons to revert my edits. 

First, it's POV, then, it's the wrong article, then it's a biased source. There's ALWAYS a reason for him to revert my edits. Check my edits please and see if they warrant reverts. I am not adamant on editing wikipedia but honestly my experience here has been so negative so far because of this one user. His arguments are not rational and he keeps reverting no matter what I say. I never edit warred with him. I have asked him constantly to leave me alone. He keeps following my edits in every article and reverts it and hoenstly I am fed up. 

I can no longer continue here because of the hostile and malicious behavior of one user. If this is not harassment then I don't know what is. I keep explaining to him my reasons for the edits but he revert anyways until I posted in source noticeboard in which he couldn't fight back because another user agreed with me. 

I can not continue this. I joined wikipedia to try and organize small things in wikipedia and assign proper names as per articles (Houthi government to Supreme political council) and Hadi governmemt to Cabinet of Yemen) as well as add information on operations against AQAP. but he keeps calling me biased and tells me that he's a Yemeni hence he had the right to revert all my edits in any AQAP and Yemen related articles. I am tired. I feel targeted and bullied. Please stop this kind of behavior to occur with other users. I am done from being harassed I have self respect to leave when I am constantly being attacked. 

This is a great initiative made by multiple users. Users shouldn't act like they own articles. Please ask him to STAY AWAY FROM ME. If there anything wrong with my edits then PLEASE someone else can tell me. An admin can ban me, instruct me, or tell me to stop editing if I am being a net negative to this project. But I can no longer accept being targeted by one user. Please, please stop this kind of behavior from occuring to someone else.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Graull|Graull]] ([[User talk:Graull#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Graull|contribs]]) 13:50, 28 October 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> [[User:Graull|Graull]] ([[User talk:Graull|talk]]) 13:52, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

:::{{Ec}} I never harassed this editor. It's their edits that seem POVish like mentioning that Hadi-led government is a cabinet in the infobox although this is disputed between the Yemeni Houthis. Plus the editor writes no edit summaries. I didn't follow this editor edits. I see his edits in my watchlist. I usually don't bother clicking on diffs if there is an edit summary but this user provides no edit summaries. I have seen some of his edits and they were fine although the editor didn't write any edit summary. Also I thought the editor is a sock puppet of Wikiemirati. I don't know who is the master.

:::{{U|Graull}} Sorry to hear that. I am almost the only one who has all Yemeni-related articles in his watchlist. If you see me consistently that's because of that.

: '''Comment''' - As far as I can tell, this dispute seems to stem from a months-long edit dispute related to the [[Yemeni Civil War]]. Based on {{u|Graull}}'s talk page, there have been some content disputes (e.g. removing or adding content related to [[Fall of Zinjibar and Jaar]]) which is exacerbated by Graull's [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fall_of_Zinjibar_and_Jaar&oldid=920770961 decision not to use edit summaries] in some instances. I don't know enough about the subject matter of the actual edits re: Yemen to say whether Graull or SharabSalam are right on the content. However, I do think that based on their talk page interactions that there is a problem with collegial editing between them. Graull seems to take extreme offense to being reverted by SharabSalam, repeatedly referring to it as {{tq|harassment}} and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:SharabSalam#Are_you_part_of_the_Houthi_movement? asking SharabSalam of being part of the Houthi movement]. For his part, sharabSalam's mildly aggressive approach on Graull's talk page (e.g. stating that Graull is not supposed to edit articles related to the Yemeni war because he is not an extended confirmed user) and filing unsubstantiated [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Wikiemirati/Archive Sockpuppet investigation sockpuppet allegations against Graull] has not helped ease tensions.This is a pretty high stakes emotional area so a certain amount of conflict is unavoidable, but I think both users need to take a deep breath.

:::Sharabsalam your aggressive approach as well as saying I'm not a new user has frustrated me. I have already told you as well as provided evidence that I have edited as an IP before I made this account and I have been warned by someone else to stop editing by IP when you opened investigation on me. I made this account to hide my IP address as well as when I did a paper on AQAP in University. I have edited in other conflicts in Africa and Syria as an IP previously when I did a paper on there (Africa), I have never experienced such aggressive reverts by someone like you though. My edits are not perfect I totally understand that that's why I asked other people to check them because you've called them problematic. I am open to hearing your concerns and I have repeatedly tried to be civil towards you. I am feeling targeted by you. If my edits are annoying you you're welcome to tell me in details why is it they're annoying you. Saying "POV" or "not helpful" and reverting is not a good way to solve disputes! Im not adamant on editing wikipedia. I don't have a specific agenda! I'm not your enemy. Please, be polite. I am willing to forget all of this. I am going to stop editing wikipedia overall anyways due to your aggressive approach. I don't enjoy being attacked aggressively and I need to stay away from negativity. Please, next time explain in details in the talk page why you think certain edits are annoying you (Hadi governmemt, operations against AQAP as well as other edits I have added) when you find an edit you don't agree with, instead of attacking other users and littering my pages with warning signs and reverting with "POV" and other silly reasons.

::::Feeling triggered or angry is very common in Wikipedia. It's not just you, everyone here had felt triggered. If you feel that you can't mentally handle criticism then it would be heather for you to not edit in controversial areas in Wikipedia. Wikipedia is free but you have to follow rules and regulations. "cabinet of Yemen" is not common in the media. It is very rare that someone will say cabinet of Yemen in relation to the Yemen civil war as both sides claim being the legal governors of Yemen. Just know that I never followed your edits. In fact I was scared from your accusations that I am harassing you so I let some edits that you did although they were not okay but then today I saw a lot of edits without edit summaries making a changes to the infobox's etc etc. Also for the sock puppet claims, I didn't want to bring this up but you mentioned above in your report against me and I told you why I did that. For you leaving Wikipedia, I have been followed and reverted for real harassment not phoney harassment, real harassment. For example [[Special:Diff/868298433|here]], [[Special:Diff/868298816|here]].

That editor however followed my edits reverting them, do you think someone from the West know anything about [[Shara'b As Salam District]]? LOL, it was just because of a disagreement in another article. Also, I was accused of being a sock puppet although I was totally unaware of anything in Wikipedia and there was no reason to accuse me except my political views, see [[Special:MobileDiff/860251725|[1]]],[[Special:MobileDiff/860255246|[2]]]. I kept challenging in the talk page, I didn't say harassment, I talked about the topic. I have many known editors who disagree with my edits and I have disagreed with their edits, (you are not the only one in Wikipedia who has made edits that I disagree with) they have never said I am harassing them so why would I be only harassing you?. I tried to make things chill and asked in a way to make it funny, "Why are you so freaking angry all the time?" but I understand that new editors feel triggered when they get reverted. I told you to stay out of controversial areas that normally requires "confirmed user" tag, since you are still a new editor, you would get experience so you can use NPOV tone in articles and use neutral sources. It is your choice to leave Wikipedia. I didn't contribute to this. I was reverted multiple times got blocked for editwarring while reverting obvious wrong edits biased POV edits, I never left Wikipedia and said "I am leaving because of blah blah harassment blah blah".--[[User:SharabSalam|SharabSalam]] ([[User talk:SharabSalam|talk]]) 16:38, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
:::::{{replyto|Graull|SharabSalam}} For what it's worth, in light of Graull's retirement message at the top of this thread, this response from SharabSalam is outrageously cruel, and, ironically, ''absolutely full of harassment''. I mean, give me a break with this stuff:
:::::*''"If you feel that you can't mentally handle criticism then it would be heather for you to not edit in controversial areas in Wikipedia."'' Armchair psychiatry like this is clear harassment.
:::::*''"For you leaving Wikipedia, I have been followed and reverted for real harassment not phoney harassment, real harassment."'' I can't really say if Graull is right or wrong on the content but they absolutely have been harassed. Calling your treatment of them "phoney harassment" is you telling on yourself.
:::::*''"Why are these real hounding and yours are not?"'' Oh, you've both been harassed.
:::::*''"do you think someone from the West know anything about Shara'b As Salam District? LOL"'' Are there no Yemeni people living in the entire Western Hemisphere? Are there no experts living in the entire West?
:::::*''"I never left Wikipedia and said 'I am leaving because of blah blah harassment blah blah'"'' Even if SharabSalam had never uttered a single harassing word before, mocking a good-faith user for getting overwhelmed and leaving is a perfect example of harassment.
:::::*And that's not to mention repeatedly telling Graull that they've been ''"triggered"'', which is one of those words that almost instantly went from describing a serious problem to mocking said problem.
:::::Sometimes at ANI, when it's just two non-admins bickering about obscure stuff, it just goes stale and gets automatically archived with no administrative response. I hope that doesn't happen here; even for ANI, this rant is so aggressive, confrontational, and outright rude that an admin ought to give it consideration for a block. {{replyto|El C}} You were kinda/sorta tagged in this.

While it may not rises to the level of sanctions, as was also suggested, please cut it out. Graull, I'll expand on my previous advise: you two need to manage the content dispute better, more efficiently. Divide it into digestible bits, conduct a [[WP:RfC|Request for Comment]] when needed, or make use of one the [[Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_requests/Noticeboards|specialized noticeboards]]. While this is undertaken, I am hoping that discussion remains understated (without any personal nuances whatsoever), all edits clearly explained, and [[WP:ONUS]] respected.

::::::::{{u|El C}} and the IP I have never harassed him. You misquoted what I said. Graull edits were most of the time wrong. I had to revert. I got accused of harassment multiple times and he has accused me of being a Houthi just because of the discussion in [[Talk:Houthi|Houthi talk page]]. 
::::::::For the quotes, first of all I misread what Graull said, he said I feel "targeted by you" and I read it as "I feel triggered by you" BIG MISTAKE. I made a lot of misspellings because I was typing using my phone and I was in hurry and I was eating. I told him, that's very common here. if you feel that you can't mentally handle criticism then it would be healthier for you to not edit in controversial areas in Wikipedia. I honestly wanted to make him return and I gave an example, myself, in Wikipedia even after I got real harassment I stayed, my intention was to convince him to stay. I felt sorry and I felt guilty for him but what should have I done. I swear I never followed his edits and as I said I got even scared from reverting him because of his accusations of harassment. They have added information from non-reliable sources that support the UAE and its proxies like The National. also using infobox to write that Cabinet of Yemen although this is disputed and without writing an edit summary! I reverted one of his edits accidentally because I thought they did the same and when he told me that it was about the Houthis I self-reverted. I am not sure what should I do else? How can I just watch this without reverting? Where is the harassment?

Reverting is fine, so long as there is sufficient explanation and with the understanding that, generally, longstanding text should stay in place while a discussion is undertaken. Also, continuing to allude to ''mental health'' is not a productive direction. Please don't do this again. It's just inappropriate.

The reasons why I thought that he is a sock puppet are in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Wikiemirati/Archive investigation archive] One of things that doesnt make sense about this editor is why he created blanked page in his user page and talk page immediately after they joined wikipedia and then they started making big editings with not making any style mistake, of course, just using unknown and unfavorable sources like all the content from the Chinese Xinhua newspaper(a state-owned agency) and other things. 
::::::::::As I said I was talking about mental health in good faith because I thought he said "triggered" instead of "targeted". I am actually having a health problem, I got flue, which is why I am editing less lately. 
::::::::::If I was targeting Graull and not his wrong edits I wouldn't have reverted him when he edited as an IP. I dont want to say his IP but he said what his IP and I found out that he got reverted by me! He added a text which was already in the content. It was like when there are lots of cooks and one of them adds salt and then the other adds salt which gets the dish ruined. He reverted me using his IP even though I told him that the content he added is there.

I understand that an editor's edit count needs to be accounted for, but here it's literally excusing obvious cruelty. The OP was clearly and honestly distressed, and in the end left. The other one wrote "LOL" and continues to defend his right to behave like that, long after the departure.

== More disruptive editing and personal attacks by User:Tisquesusa ==
{{archive top|User blocked for 7 days and final warned about personal attacks, and topic-banned from edits regarding Portals, broadly construed. [[User_talk:Black Kite|Black Kite (talk)]] 23:47, 4 November 2019 (UTC)}}
{{userlinks|Tisquesusa}} has again been adding links to deleted portals, and again made vicious personal attacks on me as I try to clean it up. 

The portal linking templates ({{tl|portal}}, {{tl|portal bar}}, {{tl|portal-inline}}) treat redlinks as an error, and tracks those errors in [[:Category:Portal templates with redlinked portals]] and its subcats.  I try to keep those cleanup categories clean.

Tisquesusa began this back in October, and when I tried to discuss it on his talkpage hew simply deleted my posts with insults in the edit summaries, and then posted a v nasty personal attack on me to a project talk page.  For that he was blocked for three days: see [[WP:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1020#Disrutive_editing_and_personal_attack_by_User:Tisquesusa]].

Tisquesusa resumed this a few days ago.  Initially I edited the pages to remove the redlinks, and left another note on Tisquesusa's talk page[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Tisquesusa&diff=924272217&oldid=924236058].  However, the addition of these links continued, so to save my time I took to simply reverting the edits in which he had added these links, with an edit summary explaining the revert: e.g. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nemegtonykus&diff=prev&oldid=924476641], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yacoraite_Formation&diff=prev&oldid=924476333], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lopez_de_Bertodano_Formation&diff=prev&oldid=924370617].

This afternoon I found that Tisquesusa had
# reverted some of my edits witjout comment[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nemegtonykus&diff=next&oldid=924476641], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yacoraite_Formation&diff=next&oldid=924476333], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Iren_Dabasu_Formation&oldid=prev&diff=924533236]

There is a pattern here of Tisquesusa refusing attempts at discussion, and then making personal attacks.

Please can someone a) make this stop, and b) revdel the personal attacks?

: It's worth noting that it wasn't several editors trying to calm him down, It was just me. I've known the user for several years as we often edit the same topics and I have a cordial relationship with them. Tisquesusa isn't a bad person, and has contributed enormously to many articles, and most of the time makes constructive edits. While I understand that reverting constant portal re-adds is frustrating, undoing users mostly productive edits is also pretty frustrating to be on the recieving end of. Not that the personal insults and attacks are excusable in the slightest. I don't think he deserves a permanent ban and I don't think a week ban will resolve things either, as he went back to exactly the same pattern of behaviour after the previous 72hr ban. I think an interaction ban might be best. [[User:Hemiauchenia|Hemiauchenia]] ([[User talk:Hemiauchenia|talk]]) 18:06, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

===Just some feedback===
Brownhaired girl is an excellent editor when it comes to explaining her stance on a deletion discussion. The issue is that she may unknowingly also target the editor rather than the content being discussed. Take this edit for example: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/Portal:Lighthouses&diff=924487425&oldid=924478174] {{tq|Moxy, as usual you are wrong on nearly every point.}}, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/Portal:Lighthouses&diff=924317343&oldid=924312572] {{tq|As KK87 knows}}, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/Portal:Lighthouses&diff=924312572&oldid=924311686] {{tq|you and other portal fans have made that argument before}}. This isn't helpful to focus on what an editor knows or doesn't know nor is it helpful to say "as usual" when referring to another editor. So while yes User:Tisquesusa should be blocked for personal attacks, Brownhairedgirl also should watch how she debates. I haven't run into any other editor I debate with that makes these remarks. - [[User:Knowledgekid87|Knowledgekid87]] ([[User talk:Knowledgekid87|talk]]) 20:06, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
: I agree with this, what provoked Tisquesusa is that rather than simply remove the portal links, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Iren_Dabasu_Formation&type=revision&diff=924476516&oldid=924352922 she reverted the entire edit] containing the portal link, which included substantial editing not related to portals.

I am not going to engage with Knowledgekid87's attempt to sidetrack a discussion about vile personal attacks.  If KK987 wants to raise those issues on my talk, we can discuss it there.

In response to [[User:Hemiauchenia|Hemiauchenia]]: my usual approach when cleaning up [[:Category:Portal templates with redlinked portals]] is to assume that this was a trivial error made in good faith by an editor who was unaware of the problem. So I fix the portal link(s), with an edit summary exlaining what I have done any why, and a ping to the editor concerned.  Here are some recent examples of a format which i have used for months:

About 1/4 of such edits get a thanks notification from the editor I pinged. Most such changes get no response, which is fine: the editor learns of an issue which they were unaware of, and tries to avoid it.

However, Tisquesusa is well aware of the issue, and has made it very clear that they are being intentionally disruptive.  So with some of Tisquesusa's edits, I have taken the quicker path of simply reverting the whole edit.  It would be folly to assume good faith when Tisquesusa is overtly on some sort of anger trip, and it would be a waste of my time to craft a unique pinged message to an editor who rejects all communication.  So I take the easiest path for me, which is to revert.

I am surprised bythe assertion that this {{tq|provoked Tisquesusa|q=y}}.  I made many attempts to allert Tisquesusa to the issue with pinged explanatory edit summaries, as I tried several times to discuss the issue on his talk.  Every one of those attempts was ignored; there were probably about two dozen in all. When an editor intentionally sets out to disrupt, I don't give them the same amount of my time as I give a good faith editor.

Note that Hemiauchenia misses the point when he says that these are {{tq|links which don't even show up in articles|q=y}}.  As you can see from the example as above, most such redlinks should be replaced with a link to the next most specific portal.  So my aim is to improve links; that's why my AWB edits after MFDs have been doing, providing a live link instead of a dead link.  Like any cleanup category, it's not a huge task if you keep on top of it, but if it builds a big backlog it can become too daunting to tackle.  That's why I try to keep the cleanup categories clean. --[[User:BrownHairedGirl|<span style="font-variant:small-caps"><span style="color:#663200;">Brown</span>HairedGirl</span>]] <small>[[User talk:BrownHairedGirl|(talk)]] • ([[Special:Contributions/BrownHairedGirl|contribs]])</small> 21:39, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

The editor [[User:Haukurth|Haukurth]] deleted a note I added to the [[Rig Veda]] article about Max Muller on [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rigveda&oldid=9244428123| November 2019‎] on the basis that 'we need a reference for claims in each article and we can't cite other Wikipedia articles.' I duly revised the addition to include a citation (Muller's own letters) and added my reasons in the [[Talk:Rigveda#Max_Muller|talk page]]. This was also deleted anyway (by another user, Kautilya3) and Haukarth's response to me on the talk page ignored my comment to instead re-frame the issue to be more ambiguous, accuse me of 'cherry picking', and falsely claim that primary sources (i.e. Muller's letters) are not valid.

I believe Haukarth's conduct to be dishonest and stated that I believed so on the Talk Page (i.e. the reasons given for deleting my contribution were inconsistent, and he ignored my comment to instead make accusations and false claims). Other editors on the talk page have also behaved similarly with various accusations, false claims (including about using primary sources), and even hostility when given a secondary source (which they requested).

However, I have responded here about Haukurth as I have tried to resolve the dispute with him on his [[User_talk:Haukurth|talk page]] - which included a clear explanation of why I believe he was being dishonest and an invitation to discuss and resolve - but he deleted my comment within minutes of it being posted, with the comment 'If you play nice and stop accusing me of dishonesty I will happily discuss this further with you.' Obviously I cannot discuss the issue if I cannot raise it with him, and so I believe this was also dishonest. [[User:Carlduff|Carlduff]] ([[User talk:Carlduff|talk]]) 19:32, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

These edits were made with [[WP:Huggle|Huggle]], but in the last few days several editors [[User talk:BigDwiki|have pointed out]] that the usage of another semi-automated tool, [[WP:AWB|AWB]], were problematic, but the response has been to say that it is bugs in the tools that caused the problems, rather than the editor's refusal to take responsibility for edits.

::::Nonsense. There is absolutely ''zero'' consensus that using Huggle to welcome users is even remotely against ''any'' policy. The welcoming committee page has its place, but I didn't say I was part of that committee and I don't know of many other users that would watch user talk pages after welcoming users. In fact, some of the welcome templates show users how to leave messages on the talk pages of the welcomer. It seems that some users here have an ax to grind over my (since stopped) AWB edits and are trying to leverage that over Huggle usage now. What's next...a proposed topic ban over the use of Twinkle to add the templates?. [[User:Phil Bridger|Phil Bridger]], you need to be very sure that you are well-grounded in policy before attempting to stir up users here, as your statement "The editor has just gone off on another welcoming spree with Huggle" not only has zero policy violations cited, it's actually an approved use of the tool. Your even mentioning that here signals bad faith assumtions. I don't have the time to go digging through thousands of pages of user's edits to find needles in the haystack of questionable edits to copy and paste here, unlike some users.

*BigDwiki's responses here are alarmingly disingenuous and combative. The issue is very obviously not that he is using Huggle to welcome users, the issue is that he's editing in a bot-like manner without screening his edits, and encouraging users without determining whether those users ''should'' be encouraged. He's made it an impossible task to reasonably audit his edits, but the first random example I clicked on was [[User talk:2600:6C40:6200:7162:BDED:165A:28C4:D8F0|this]], where he welcomed a linkspammer who is promoting a blog, and that was '''''after this thread was opened'''''. Rapid editing is not ''inherently'' a violation of [[WP:MEATBOT]], sure, but that's not the ''point'' of MEATBOT. It ''does'' most certainly become a violation when you're not able and willing to make your rapid edits responsibly, and, from what I'm seeing, he's not, nor could he possibly claim to be doing so. He's not "paying attention to the edits you make", as is specified by the bot policy. {{yo|BigDwiki}} Due to the fact that you are using extended privileges to violate BOTPOL, and do not appear to be open to the resolution of complaints regarding ''either'' Huggle or AWB, I have revoked your AWB and Rollback permissions. Note that if I observe any continued bot-like editing, you will be blocked indefinitely. Contrary to what you say, I don't think you're "using your time to build an encyclopedia", and very much question whether you're [[WP:NOTHERE|here to do so]]. If you honestly think this is productively contributing to an academic project, then this is a [[WP:CIR|competence issue]].

In [[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Australian_Football_International&type=revision&diff=924008128&oldid=924008106&diffmode=source|this]] and the preceeding three edits, I restored the tags while they kept removing them. I stopped to avoid violating [[WP:3RR]], but they didn't and I notified them as such on their talk page. I had also previously sent them notes about inappropriately removing the AFD tags as well as the [[WP:COI]] they appear to have in relation to this page. They did not respond and simply continued trying to remove the AFD tags. I finally brought it here because I did not see where else to go from there. I should also note that a bot has restored the AFD tags as I was writing this

== Edit warring to keep personal attacks in my talk page archives ==
{{atop|JG66 is warned for personal attacks and edit warring. Beyond that, from what I can see, the merits of the source in question is a legitimate content dispute, not to be authoritatively decided here but by dispute resolution and consensus at a centralized location. Neither party acted in bad faith, and there's really no purpose in continuing to draw out the dispute here. The fact that this thread has continued to degenerate into shaming and bullying is particularly unsettling, and I doubt there is any good will left on either side after the egregious behavior we've had the misfortune of witnessing. Who's more "right" in the dispute is irrelevant to this board&mdash;both editors are warned against continued systematic mass editing until the dispute has been resolved in some way, and JG is warned against continued combative conduct, and if any of it continues on either side, blocking is the next step. But beyond that, keep this dispute on the content side. It's unlikely that there is any remaining good will between these editors, and the hostility and aggression is to blame, not the existence of a dispute to begin with.

He treated an editor (Muso805) who has shown extraordinary good faith throughout this – and who admitted from the start that they were quite inexperienced here – despicably. I showed a stubbornness of my own in repeatedly adding the comments that the user wanted excised from their archived version of the discussion (but really, is the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:MrOllie&diff=923589943&oldid=923588098 second of those comments] a personal attack?

:* Yes, my edits to that talk page archive will stop.

{{Ping|Muso805|MrOllie}} I advise both editors to stop performing mass edits that are disputed.  Instead, get a decision on whether [[All Time Top 1000 Albums ]] is a notable subject.  You can do this via [[WP:AFD]].  Next, you should go to [[WP:RSN]] and determine whether this is a reliable source for the proposed uses in Wikipedia.  Once that's done you can proceed with adding it as a reference where needed, or removing it. Additionally, Muso805, you appear to be a single purpose account for generating publicity about this topic.  Please declare any connection you have to the subject because your behavior appears to demonstrate a detemination to create links to this page.

:* I am glad the book is notable.  However, is it the right source to use?  Why add just this one single source to a zillion articles?  Why not focus on improving articles generally.  Need to use this source here and there?  That's fine.  Look through the user's edit history, it looks like a determined link building campaign.  That doesn't mean it is, but the behavior is indistinguishable from a link building campaign.  I'd like the user to just say clearly "yes" or "no" if they have a connection to the subject.  I'd like the user to explain why they are so interested in adding references to this book, rather than broadly improving the articles.

This is the second attempt. My first reply must show my ignorance because I cannot find the lengthy reply I just sent to user:Jehochman after receiving an email from him. First off I am not Larkin. I have never met him. I am not paid by anybody. I am retired and happen to be a Muso nutcase. Yes a self confessed Muso nut. I have all 4 editions of the Larkin All Time Top 1000 Albums books (along with many other Best Of Albums Books). Over here in the UK Larkin's book is the Bible, often quoted on BBC radio 6music and BBC 5 Live. It is much higher regarded than the Rolling Stone 500 Albums Book. Larkin's book was taken from polling Muso's whereas the Rolling Stone book and 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die are just opinions taken from writers and critics. The 3rd Edition of larkin's book states on the front cover 'Over 200,000 votes from the fans, the experts and the critics'. My reason for adding 140 references was not to spam (I have no intention of adding the other 860 albums because they are not of interest to me). The ones I added are my personal favourites and all have Wiki entries and many are neglected classics that are deserving of having an additional reference to Larkin's book. These albums mostly have reference to the Rolling Stone book or All Music Guide and there seems to be a strong USA Bias. My real intent is to get a UK balance as it seems unfair otherwise. Likewise albums such as Gene Clark's No Other and Moby Grape's 1st Album are cult classics and are in Larkin's book and I think it right and proper they be added to get the balance right. I think because Larkin's book represents the Muso fans it has more credibility than any of the other books and deserves at least being shoulder to shoulder with the others - and even though the 3rd Edition was in 2000 there are so many albums that have grown in stature -- like Nick Drake, Buffalo Springfield and Gram Parsons. Finally the book cover image used on the All Time Top 1000 Albums is woefully out of date. This is the 1st Guinness Edition published in 1994 -- my edits were all taken from the 3rd and most recent edition in 2000 published by Virgin Books (there was also a pocket edition as well). If there is an editor who sees this could they put the correct cover in the entry please?

I won't be doing any more edits - this whole experience has made me sick to my stomach. MrOllie's actions have really been upsetting and I have been so grateful to user:JG66 and user:Rlendog and user:Martinevans123 -- their advice, support and decency have been a blessing, and Rlendog's many reinserted edits of mine have been most welcome. I never received any reply from MrOllie and no longer expect to - perhaps he realises he was hasty and unfair. I won't go near putting any edits back in in case MrOllie appears again! As a very inexperienced Editor there is huge intimidation felt from all you vastly experienced Wiki editors. I know that what I did was genuine, and know that for sure after the comments from the three users I just mentioned. Furthermore there are dozens of references to Larkin's books and his Encyclopedia series on Wiki -- going back many years and nothing whatsoever to do with me! I won't be doing any more edits in the foreseeable future. MrOllies accusations have really knocked me back.[[User:Muso805|Muso805]] ([[User talk:Muso805|talk]]) 21:49, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

* ''All Time Top 1000 Albums'' is not just notable, it is the "right source". In the 2008 book [https://books.google.com.au/books?id=AiQxDwAAQBAJ&source=gbs_book_other_versions ''The Rock Canon: Canonical Values in the Reception of Rock Albums''], author Carys Wyn Jones sources Larkin's work (and others') repeatedly. Jones' book discusses popular and critically acclaimed rock albums generally, but focuses on ten "canonical" works in particular. When outlining the criteria for this rock canon, Jones highlights the "test of time" and acknowledges that the history of rock criticism covers mere decades, compared to centuries for the classical music canon and 2000 years for the literary canon. In taking this point further, it's Larkin that Jones cites as a guide: "The mechanism by which the ten albums featured in this book have ascended to being regarded as 'great' albums is reflected in Colin Larkin's description of ''[[Astral Weeks]]'' in the ''All-Time Top 1,000 Albums'': 'Quoted, recommended and worshipped by the critics for over 30 years [etc.]'"
* Among the best-album lists and polls Jones cites, as listed in his book's appendix, are all three editions of ''All Time Top 1000 Albums'' (1994, 1998, 2000); only the ''[[NME]]'' is afforded the same, multiple entries (for polls published in 1974, 1985, 1993 and 2003). The other publications that appear there, with just one best-albums list each, are: ''[[Paul Gambaccini]] Presents the Top 100 Albums'', ''Mojo'', ''The Guardian'', ''Q'' magazine, ''Rolling Stone'', ''VH1'' and ''The Observer''. (''Q'' also has a "Greatest Stars of the 20th Century" list included.)
* From my experience of working on music articles here, that makes ''All Time Top 1000 Albums'' an important reference. Jones' ''The Rock Canon'' is one of the very few books I've come across that are ''about'' the many books and publications devoted to establishing "best" albums, and he appears to view Larkin's book(s) as a key indicator of long-term critical reception. Which puts it head and shoulders above [[AllMusic]], for instance. [[User:JG66|JG66]] ([[User talk:JG66|talk]]) 00:46, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

And this is why we have an editor retention issue. A new editor is treated with shocking discourtesy and the thread here is about JG66's behavior along with a side dish of an admin suggesting that the poor guy has a COI. I'd leave, too. Shame on MrOllie and Jehochman. --[[User:Spike Wilbury|Spike Wilbury]] ([[User talk:Spike Wilbury|talk]]) 13:31, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
: To clarify: User:Muso805 is the new account, not JG66 (who's been here for 7 years).  To add my voice to the discussion, I agree with [[User:Spike Wilbury|Spike]] that we should ease up on Muso805.  I think it is quite understandable if an editor has one book (''or any other source'') out and is using it to go through a variety articles, using said book to work on our project.  "Is it the right source"?  Since when is there a "right source"?  Unless someone can show that it is unreliable for some reason - it is acceptable and allowed.

* Can I ask what is going on with this now? It's been a day and a half at least since {{u|Jehochman}} posed their questions, all of which have been answered. I confess I have no experience, knowledge or interest when it comes to how this noticeboard operates; quite frankly, it's like some macabre adult [[dress-up]] and it gives me the creeps. It's more than obvious to anyone with an ounce of empathy and compassion that this episode has been very upsetting for Muso805. So,&nbsp;is he "in the clear"? Or more to the point: why is he being kept waiting for the verdict (for want of a better word)? And anyone, I suggest, with a pretty basic knowledge of popular and critical reception given to pop music would recognise the Colin Larkin book as a top-quality source. Per Ched's comment, when has there ever been a ''right'' source? This entire episode, from the user's 100+ reverts to what's transpired on this page seems to be a demonstration of [[WP:AGF|assuming ''bad'' faith]] at every turn. Muso805 has been branded a nuisance editor, which he is not –&nbsp;Wikipedia would be nothing without the contributions of individuals who are passionate about certain subjects – and the Larkin book has been branded not "right" enough. The only good faith shown in this AN/I has been towards the user who filed the damn report, in that their suspicions about Muso805 and Colin Larkin's book have been so indulged.

Just for the record while I watch this debate with just a slight amount of anger towards MrOllie for his actions - I thumbed through the 3rd Edition of All Time Top 1000 Albums at the 860 albums I had no intention of adding references for, and discovered a further 117 references to this book that had nothing to do with me and were added by other editors a long time ago.

[[User:NinjaRobotPirate]] among others warned us that the ban would be difficult to interpret and I feel like an idiot for not listening to them. As far as the merits go, I definitely understand why it was reported here. I can see both sides of it -- if you fatally wound someone on Tuesday but they don't die until Friday, were they assassinated on Tuesday or Friday? It could be a content dispute or it could fall into the rough outer boundary of the area covered by the topic ban (grammar/style). I can't say that it's a no-brainer.

Anthony22 wrote in the edit summary "As I said before, I have never seen the name spelled "Maxene" until now."

Hello, this new account {{userlinks|ClarityRandom}} seems to be adding a load of unsourced old nonsense to articles related to feminism.

For instance:

*[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Social_reproduction&diff=922857851&oldid=921665523 This] is not what social reproduction means (it sort of means society is doomed to repeat it's failures across the generations).

*[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Historical_method&diff=922889391&oldid=920829312 This] is not what [[source criticism]] is about. Source criticism is the academic term for evaluating reliable sources.

*First edit was [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marxist_feminism&diff=prev&oldid=889481263 a large one], adding and changing much sourced commentary, and finished by adding this, "while organisations such as [https://womansplaceuk.org/ Woman's Place UK] organise to defend the principles of socialist and marxist feminism and womens sex based rights that are threatened by transgender politics and identity politics." It was added without an inline citation in the middle of a sourced statement about a 1960s feminist group. 

They've made 140 edits so far, mostly around a handful of of articles. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Social_history&diff=922890883&oldid=921324345 This set of edits] for instance doesn't seem to add any resources and is sort of promotional. It adds to the lead a statement promoting one of the "best known living social historians" naming them "Tilly". Sadly, it seems that [[Louise A. Tilly|Tilly]] passed away last year.

I'm not sure what to do. There's too many edits for me to simply go around reverting them all on subjects which I am not learned. I can't get a sense of vandalism or actual bad faith, but there's definitely a bit of unsourced and dubious stuff in the main space and promotional editing.

I am Clarity Random
I have an MSc and PhD in history and political economy. If you dont like my edits go onto the page and ask for citations and/or clarifications. 

social reproduction is a key concept in marxist feminism - see these by leading marxist feminist theorists: <ref>https://www.plutobooks.com/9780745399881/social-reproduction-theory/</ref> <ref>https://www.radicalphilosophy.com/article/social-reproduction-theory-2</ref>

I teach historical methods, (and have in the past taught on marxist feminist theory) - but I dont keep track of which historians died and when. 

I suggest you go and learn more about the subjects you are trying to talk about here. When you have an understanding of them go to the articles you think need citations, and request them. 

Also if you are claiming 'promotional' posts please specify what you think is being promoted, as niothing I have posted is promotional nor intended to be so (Womans place as an organisation was listed alongside other socialist feminist organisations in the marxist feminism article, so I expect you are complaining about those other editors too?)

:*Hi {{re|ClarityRandom}}. There are a number of issues with your edits.
:*Okay, with your edit on source criticism. Source criticism is what Wikipedia calls "determining reliable sources". It is not "the method" to apply, but instead, methods are applied to source criticism. The source you have now added, criticising various ancient historiographers source criticism, does not specifically reject the idea of source criticism, but the methods ''applied'' to such criticism. Source criticism is not ''defined'' by a particular method, ''except'' in each ''individual circumstance''.
:*As for your edit to Social reproduction, you haven't read [[WP:LEAD]], [[WP:WEIGHT]], and [[WP:CITE]]. Further, "social reproduction" is a branch of "economic reproduction". What you are trying to apply to "social reproduction" is another branch individually.
:*As for the edit to Marxist feminism, the bit I mentioned. There are two sentences related to a reference on "Radical Women". These sentences are referenced. You've added a quick statement in the middle of the first of those sentences, about a completely different womens group. You've also added a whole string of other edits all the way up the page in places where information appears referenced, but not added any other resources. If I said, that's okay, you have all those books and all the other edits were wrong, you just happened to be reading your whole library that evening and noticed the whole of Wikipedia was overdue a change...? Was that what you were trying to tell me?
:*Wikipedia is not interested in whether you are a professor or not. <span style="color: #8a87a6; font-size: small; font-family: Impact">~ [[User:RTG|R]].[[User_Talk:RTG|T]].[[Special:Contributions/RTG|G]]</span> 20:07, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
:::Clarity, I am sorry if I sound harsh in these last sentences, but you are probably not a practising lecturer specialising in the historical method field. Neither am I, and what I mean to say is, we don't need to be. Reading stuff like this can take some effort, but if you can read and understand stuff, you can do it.

::Honestly, I don't mean to be aggressive at all. I posted here mainly hoping to be pointed to the correct noticeboard as I wasn't sure. I am not as concerned with the editor as with the edits themselves. There was definitely some inaccuracy going on. The editor has made clear what I suspected, they would intend to treat a dispute as a matter of authority rather than study. I should have "warned" them first, but I felt with so many edits, it would be more aggressive to just dive into the muddle and start arguing about the nature of authority when a third opinion ''on the content'' would have been so much more likely to bring us all to a cooperative approach on the first step.

There is a troublesome user who renders their username in Korean that does nothing but make obsolete, low quality edits to the project. Seo's edits vary from complete nonsense to ridiculous grammatical errors and spelling mistakes. Check [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=%EC%84%9C%EB%8D%95%EB%AF%BC their contributions here.] Despite numerous warnings on Seo's [[WP:IDHT]] behavior and [[WP:CIR]] issues, not only did they *not* respond to the warnings, they have continued their disruptive pattern of edits.

::How do you expect to guide someone that won't respond nor listen?

:::Patiently. Not sure why it's hard to assume good faith - there doesn't seem to be anything malicious or even mischievous in the edits. I'd have thought it would be pretty easy actually, given they don't argue endlessly with long posts justifying that what they are doing is correct. Meanwhile, failing to AGF is a far bigger issue - and we seem to have never-ending patience for that! [[User:Nfitz|Nfitz]] ([[User talk:Nfitz|talk]]) 05:46, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
::::So in other words, it's okay to keep polluting the project with unsourced, low quality additions *and* ignoring warnings from other users, as well as refusing to acknowledge that they did anything wrong? Plenty of [[English as a second language|ESL users]] here could contribute in coherent English, and Seo isn't one of them (assuming that they're even an ESL to begin with). 

::::I would love to AGF, but I honestly can't if the user is 100% unresponsive. You claim that they're "quietly" listening and adjusting based on the messages and warnings they've received, but that's just an assumption in the absence of their response. Since when is it okay to ignore legitimate concerns about one's behavior? As far as I am concerned, that's [[WP:IDHT]].

::::In any case, since it's apparent that Seo's English isn't up to par, maybe they should brush up their English first, before editing on the project again. Based on one of Seo's drafts [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Fire_Robo here], I'm convinced that a machine translation might have been used to write the article. And even if it's not machine translation, it's still really poorly written and formatted. Look, I'm all for guiding new users, but if they won't even respond, then what else could we do? Not much except for reporting them on ANI. --[[User:Sk8erPrince|Sk8erPrince]] ([[User talk:Sk8erPrince|talk]]) 06:29, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Can you diff an edit that is vandalism, from SEO? —[[User:Adamfinmo|AdamF in MO]] ([[User talk:Adamfinmo|talk]]) 02:15, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
{{outdent}} That's not what this report is about. I am not trying to accuse them of vandalism on this report. Rather, I am reporting them for [[WP:CIR]] and [[WP:IDHT]], as noted above. Also, I already [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:서덕민&diff=923692782&oldid=923635295&diffmode=source modified my warning] to indicate that they were editing disruptively, rather than outright vandalism. That was before I even filed this report. Jesse and I have already provided diffs where Seo was shown to be littering the project with spelling and grammatical errors. Despite given warnings, they still continued to reintroduce low quality edits to the same articles where their edits were previously reverted. They also have not responded to the warnings that were given to them, nor have they responded to the report here. Given these reasons, they definitely have [[WP:IDHT]] and [[WP:CIR]] issues. 

To quote IDHT: {{tq|Believing that you have a valid point does not confer upon you the right to act as though your point must be accepted by the community when you have been told that it is not accepted. The community's rejection of your idea is not proof that they have failed to hear you. Stop writing, listen, and consider what the other editors are telling you.}} 


As we could clearly see, there is *zero* communication between Seo and the other users, including myself. They just keep disrupting the project in accordance to what they think is right. There are a few possibilities as to why Seo is outright ignoring the warnings as well as this report. Either they think staying silent means that the situation is just gonna blow over (which will be proven to be untrue in due time), or they don't think there's any issues with their problematic edits. Or both. I'm sure if and when they log back on, they're just going to continue editing disruptively as if nothing has happened. 

Now, let me quote [[WP:CIR]].
 
{{tq|There is a presumption that people who contribute to the English-language Wikipedia have the following competencies:}}


{{tq|*The ability to read and write English well enough to avoid introducing incomprehensible text into articles and to communicate effectively.}}

{{tq|*The ability to communicate with other editors and abide by consensus.}}

To quote the "Responding to suspected lack of competence" section:

{{tq|The English Wikipedia is the largest Wikimedia project, and for that reason, people will tend to come here first to contribute. Poor use of the English language can lead to perceived competence problems.}} 

It's clear that Seo's edits also demonstrate that they are not fluent in the English language. I don't think they even realize that they've been disrupting the project this entire time, which is quite concerning for a user [https://gyazo.com/32f587143d159bc0baceea609a831663 that has accumulated more than 130 edits.] --[[User:Sk8erPrince|Sk8erPrince]] ([[User talk:Sk8erPrince|talk]]) 06:24, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
::::::Your above comment is both verbose and a complete waste of time. Maybe CIR issues are in play.

:::::JesseRafe warned them once about 3 weeks ago about "no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles" (which appears to have been followed) and once yesterday about adding unsourced content. You've made accusations of vandalism, trolling, IDHT, CIR, and complete nonsense. No one else has done otherwise - why do you claim this? And where's the evidence of trolling? I don't even see examples of "complete nonsense" - for example adding [[Mari (given name)|Mari]] being a Korean name too ([[:ko:마리|마리]]), in addition to the existing list of Breton, Japanese, Estonian, Georgian, Hungarian, Finnish, Welsh, Swedish and Norwegian (did someone forget Cornish and Manx?) doesn't seem to be complete nonsense.

{{outdent}}It was removed because of the poor grammar and spelling. Per CIR, users on EN wiki are expected to contribute in proper English. I mean, sure, sometimes, we make silly grammatical and spelling errors, but the main difference is that we know what the mistakes are when others point them out, or we catch our own mistakes. I'm not at all convinced that Seo has the English proficiency required to contribute constructively to the project, as Jesse elaborated above. 

If you were told by at least two users that your edits are problematic and have been asked to rectify them, and you opt to outright ignore them and still continue editing disruptively anyway, that's an IDHT issue. 

I'm also quite baffled that you can't seem to acknowledge that Seo's edits are mostly complete nonsense. I think Jesse did an excellent job elaborating why that's the case. The main concern here is that Seo is trolling the project with low quality additions (most of them were reverted for that reason), and ignoring the concerns of other issues. They are hence detrimental to the prosperity of the project. --[[User:Sk8erPrince|Sk8erPrince]] ([[User talk:Sk8erPrince|talk]]) 19:17, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

::How is "ant" relevant? That section is for the sourced etymologies of the given name "Ari".

That etymology was not provided. You also did not respond to the obvious repeated unhelpful edits at [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Karen&action=history Karen] I added yesterday. You seem to be extending beyond the usual benefit of the doubt to claim that "Mari is a Korean name" (it's not) and that the Japanese name is derived from the word for ant (unlikely, and unsourced, which all the others are) while not extending that assumption of good faith to Sk8er Prince who has said that 1) they are not editing regularly in competent English and 2) they are not responding to repeated requests to amend their behavior. Those are the two plain facts of the matter. Calling these false accusations is blatant lack of assumption of good faith, and on the verge of a personal attack.

:::I'm just looking for the evidence of trolling and vandalism and nonsense - which are serious claims. All I see is bad editing - though a clear attempt to improve the articles. Does it matter what type of demon? Knowing nothing of the subject, the edit actually helps me know than an Oshimaida is some kind of dæmon, without having to research that (though further down the article there's some more information about that). Is the formatting lousy - yes. Did it make the article more understandable - yes. Is it vandalism - no. Is it trolling - no. Is it nonsense - no.

::::You are contradicting yourself - if it's bad editing, then how are they "clear attempts" to improve the articles? Seo's edits aren't improvements - they're downgrades. Just stating that Oshimaida is a demon is pointless if the description isn't expanded for readers to actualy learn what they are. That makes it nonsense, due to the poor formatting.

::::::I hadn't heard the term [[unisex name]] before - but it exists, and that article mentions formal names - so how is it nonsense? Could it be written better - yes. Is it vandalism, trolling, or nonsense - no. But not providing a source (unless it's some kind of edit-war, and I don't see that) is not a serious issue - add a tag, or a source, or delete it with a note.

:::::::Indeed, unisex names exist, but "formal unisex name" is probably a calque from Korean, as it has no meaning in English. When you say {{tq|that article mentions formal names}} you presumably refer to the fact that the infobox in [[Karen (name)]]&nbsp;said "formal=unisex" –&nbsp;but that was added by this user, editing as an IP, about a month ago. They have also been messing up a number of other things in the article, such as saying that the Farsi pronunciation of the name "Karen" is US English [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Karen_(name)&diff=917747814&oldid=917099926], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Karen_(name)&diff=next&oldid=919012082]. So no, that phrase really was mangled English. ("formal name" can have a meaning, but that's a completely different matter.)  This shouldn't turn into a content discussion, but there is absolutely no doubt that the user does have severe CIR issues; they are almost certainly editing in good faith, but they have to start listening and changing their behaviour. --''[[User:Bonadea|bonadea]]'' <small>[[Special:Contributions/Bonadea|contributions]] [[User talk:Bonadea|talk]]</small> 09:16, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

I also see no issue in Romanizing the username for the purposes of this discussion for simplicity, same as any Cyrillic or Hebrew or whatever username to make typing easier for most editors who wish to participate in the conversation, I don't think Sk8erPrince was trying to make an issue out of the their username and further discussion on that aspect is beyond the point of the discussion on their frequent disruptive editing.

=== Proposal: 서덕민 anthroponymy topic ban ===

*'''Oppose:''' False accusations and exaggerations abound here. The few diffs provided seem innocuous, and it would be better to expand and correctly format what is being added, rather than deleting. Or explaining why it's deleted. There seems to be evidence that 서덕민 is reading edit comments and adjusting accordingly. Not sure why we can't simply for simplicity's sake, use their username, than a translation of part of it. [[User:Nfitz|Nfitz]] ([[User talk:Nfitz|talk]]) 20:28, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
::Unsourced info can be reverted per [[WP:BURDEN]]. If we cannot verify the newly added information with a reliable source, we would proceed to remove them. Almost every single one of Seo's edits are unsourced, which violates our [[WP:VERIFIABILITY|verifiability]] guideline. Also, I'm referring the user as Seo because I can't type Korean. Having to copy and paste their username every time is tiresome, and I'd really rather not be bothered with that. And Jesse and I *did* explain why Seo's edits were reverted in our edit summaries. On the flip side, Seo has failed to respond to our warnings and continued to edit disruptively in accordance to *their* own liking.

* I am convinced that this is a good-faith editor and not a troll, but their command of English seems to be really poor, to the point where it is often not even possible to rewrite their additions because it's hard to even guess what they mean. They have never posted to an article talk or user talk page. Their additions are unsourced; a lack of sources is an issue in many name articles so I don't blame them for doing what they see others do, but they have been repeatedly warned about it. Since they also add incorrect information, such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Karen_(name)&diff=prev&oldid=919012411 this] (marking a Farsi pronunciation as "US"), as well as multiple instances of adding text that comes across as random scribbling, they are currently a time sink who ''does'' endanger a tiny part of the project. They also keep drawing their own conclusions about names being the same just because they look similar ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hannah_(name)&diff=prev&oldid=922778758], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Arisa_(given_name)&diff=prev&oldid=920512017]), and that is often quite wrong – and even if they should on occasion be correct, how can anybody know, with no sources? However, since they are only interested in name related articles, TBanning them from there is a bit harsh. Could an uninvolved administrator give them a strong final warning (they already have a couple of final warnings) about adding original research/unsourced info, and about communicating? --''[[User:Bonadea|bonadea]]'' <small>[[Special:Contributions/Bonadea|contributions]] [[User talk:Bonadea|talk]]</small> 11:17, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

After banning me from his talk page[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Signimu#Editing], {{u|Zefr}} is giving me the [[silent treatment]] everywhere since more than a month (articles talk pages[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Intermittent_fasting#Disagreement_2], [[WT:MED]], dispute resolution[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#Intermittent_fasting], the latter concluding that he "obviously does not intend to participate"[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard&diff=922340925&oldid=922287506]). This has reached a ridiculous point where he consistently replies only to other editors, always above my comments, as to clearly signal he ignores them[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Intermittent_fasting#Disagreement_2]. This editor clearly holds a [[WP:GRUDGE]] towards me. Besides the silent treatment, here are other non-exhaustive examples of his behavior:

* Abusive warnings issuing, my talk page is littered with them, choosing more aggressive versions (eg, uw-disruptive3 than 2): [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Signimu]

* Personal attacks and misuse of policies ([[WP:CIRNOT]]) (emphasis mine): "This is an example of '''your reckless, impulsive editing behavior''' and misunderstanding of what the sources say. In writng for Wikipedia scientific content, competence is required, [[WP:CIR]], and '''you appear incompetent''' to assess scientific sources."[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Signimu&diff=920007100&oldid=919993920] ; "You are obsessive in edit numbers and non-encyclopedic details."[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Signimu#Editing]
* Mischaracterizing me by repeatedly making false accusations of [[WP:OR]] and [[WP:DE]] to discredit me and bait me ([[WP:POVRAILROAD]]):
**"Unfounded? Any Wikipedia editor can review your history of disruptive and misleading editing, clearly laid out above among several other editors, including your edit warring and [[WP:DE]] over the last two years"[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Signimu&diff=920007961&oldid=920007100].

* Accusation of POV-pushing: "All you are doing is trying to insert your opinion - multiple times, while not gaining any support for this conjecture on the talk page."[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Signimu&diff=923472733&oldid=922699355].

It's not the only instance Zefr behaved like that, he shows a consistently uncivil and uncollaborative behavior towards editors he considers of inferior rank. He reverts new editors' major contributions by giving nonsense reasons such as "unencyclopedic" or "bad grammar"[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions/Archive_1027#Help_on_choline_grammar][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Signimu#Your_edits_on_Intermittent_fasting] when he could [[WP:PRESERVE]] and fix as [[WP:CIRNOT]] reminds, but he argues politely to editors with similar or more edits count than him when they call him out[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Choline#Recent_revert], often [[moving the goalposts]] then as to avoid justifying his initial excessive reasons. He did the same with me[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk%3AWikiProject_Medicine&type=revision&diff=923454583&oldid=923453525][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Intermittent_fasting&diff=923697144&oldid=923528728][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Signimu#Your_edits_on_Intermittent_fasting].

Zefr will probably attack me with [[WP:MWOT]][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Intermittent_fasting&diff=923472140&oldid=923471943]. Easy when he repeatedly use the R but doesn't participate in the D part of [[WP:BRD]], forcing me to do all the discussion work. I tried to appease the situation so many times I can't count and won't link all diffs, his responses were either silence or more aggressivity, see this telling example: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Zefr&diff=919904061&oldid=919744609][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Signimu#Editing].

*I chose one of the threads linked above, at [[Talk:Intermittent fasting]]. What I saw was highly respected editors with a long track record in dealing with MEDRS issues, such as {{U|Jytdog}}, broadly supporting the position that {{U|Zefr}} had taken. Now I am not an uncritical supporter of the way that [[WP:MEDRS]] is interpreted (I have disagreed with {{U|Jytdog}} in the past), but the more I see of the constant stream of attempts to add unreliable, fringe, POV-pushing material to Wikipedia, the more I sympathize with those editors who battle against it (and it is a battle – too wearing often for me). There comes a point in all long-running disputes when the best course of action is [[Wikipedia:Drop the stick and back slowly away from the horse carcass]]. It seems to me a legitimate course of action on Zefr's part (although it could have been explained better).

::That's unfair, Jytdog discussions was more than a year ago, he introduced me to [[WP:MEDRS]].

Content dispute is not an excuse for uncivil behavior and personal attacks, else [[WP:CIVILITY]] would never have any practical application. On Intermittent fasting, the issue is being settled by other editors anyway, this request has nothing to do with it, except as a blatant example of [[silent treatment]], found also elsewhere since he's doing that everywhere to me. Finally, I reworked the ''whole'' entry, and provided both positive and negative material, so I wonder what POV do you think I have then (and added authoritative sources such as AHA, NHS, New Zealand's Ministry of Health - that's what I do in most of my contributions). {{u|Peter coxhead}}, you did here a bold attempt at defending someone you respect by attacking me personally further without any proof. ''Or you simply believed Zefr writing at face value, which further proves his attempts at discrediting me are harmful.'' As usual, a lack of diff is a red light for unsubstantiated personal attacks (else please show where I [[WP:FRINGE]]d ''ever''). And please don't mention Jytdog, whom I highly respect and had pleasure to work with[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jytdog#A_barnstar_for_you!], he never behaved as unprofessionally as Zefr does with me. --[[User:Signimu|Signimu]] ([[User talk:Signimu|talk]]) 14:08, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Even though this request was archived without an evaluation, I would like to explicitly state that I would request it to be closed. Zefr is still not discussing directly, although I recognize he clumsily tried once, but at least he does not assume bad faith from me anymore and so far stopped the personal remarks, and we could implicitly work together on a few articles recently. His experienced co-edition was valuable, as always (when he accepts to collaborate with me). If it stays like that, since WP editing is not disrupted by either of us, that's fine by me. --[[User:Signimu|Signimu]] ([[User talk:Signimu|talk]]) 04:52, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

==Disruptive editing at [[User:Kutyava]] ==
The article [[Darul Huda Islamic Academy]] is an educational institution of good repute in [[Kerala]] of India. which may be known from various reliable sources available online. The page was in very good condition some times ago. There is another competitive organization the supporters of which are enemies to each other. One of the editors has deleted everything which I added even from google books about this institution which creates doubt about his intentions. The editor in question seems to be not neutral and has a liking for competitive movement of which he has created pages see [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/pages/en.wikipedia.org/Kutyava here].

Further, regarding the complaint, I would like to submit that there is clear case of either paid editing or agenda account in case of Kutyava. I was not editing negatively.

==re DovidBenAvraham, by Pi314m: Not an orphan==
{{archive top|Entertaining, but not something for ANI. [[User_talk:Black Kite|Black Kite (talk)]] 20:00, 5 November 2019 (UTC)}}
We all know (or should know, if reading ANI) that the pleas for mercy by the (double) orphan who caused this condition is not accepted. DovidBenAvraham may be have led himself to trial, but I'd like to say the following as a plea on his behalf (and he did say sorry on my TALK page before/while ANI-ing me, to which, after he was directed to apologize, I wrote "accepted (publicly)"):
::There definitely are double and triple standards in various areas:
::*An ANI states "xxxx has been branded a nuisance editor, which he is not – Wikipedia would be nothing without the contributions of

{{user5|2001:569:7C07:2600:34C3:F496:71FB:7EC3}}

1. This user has not sought respectful edit dispute resolution with me, and instead have persistently made changes to my talk page [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2001:569:7C07:2600:34C3:F496:71FB:7EC3 here]] and reverted my edits on my own talk page [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2001:569:7C07:2600:34C3:F496:71FB:7EC3 here]], when I already told them that I have moved our discussion, more aptly, to the [[Talk:Lee_Jae-yoon|Lee Jae-yoon talk page]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Lee_Jae-yoon&oldid=924680893 here]].

I have also included that their "edits are welcome but please observe propriety and respectful practices in contributing." This user has posted on another user's talk page for help [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jjj1238 here]], but can't reply amiably to our discussion? I have responded to them in a well-meaning manner and have understood their points, yet they continue with these unnecessary actions, not resolving the issue directly with me and instead resorting to discussing it on another user's talk page. I have tried resolving this issue with this user/IP address, but he/she has moved the discussion, inappropriately, to Jjj1238's page [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jjj1238#Jae-yoon%20Lee here]].

2. Also, as I've looked into this user, contributors [[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lee_Jae-yoon&oldid=924680947 23.16.167.50]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lee_Jae-yoon&oldid=924681580 2001:569:7c07:2600:34c3:f496:71fb:7ec3]] as shown on the article's [[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lee_Jae-yoon&action=history Edit history]] may likely be one and the same, as they have both responded to my edit queries, like one single person? Should we look into this as possible [[Wikipedia:Sock_puppetry|sock puppetry]]? I am quite unsure how to proceed.

3. This user has also accused me of "yelling" at them: "And you yell at me" [[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:2001:569:7C07:2600:34C3:F496:71FB:7EC3&oldid=924692845 see here]]

How could I yell at them? Why are they throwing these overblown accusations? I have sought to resolve this editorial dispute with them amicably, by posting on the right channels and talk page, but they have not responded appropriately and instead have resorted to posting elsewhere without replying to my queries on the [[Talk:Lee_Jae-yoon|Lee Jae-yoon talk page]], and now they're accusing me of "yelling" at them.

I'm seeking disciplinary action on [[Special:Contributions/2001:569:7C07:2600:34C3:F496:71FB:7EC3|2001:569:7C07:2600:34C3:F496:71FB:7EC3]] and its alter-ego, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lee_Jae-yoon&oldid=924680947 23.16.167.50]]. If this merits a block, please apply said procedure. If not, please advise how we'd proceed. 

Update, their last reply is: "Stop sending messages to me. I want to assist the user for resolution. And I don't want to explain it at the article's talk page. I explain it to you and you deleted it from your talk page. For the last time I am refusing to coment at the article's talk page and that's final," as you can see [[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:2001:569:7C07:2600:34C3:F496:71FB:7EC3&oldid=924693655 here]].

Again, I'm seeking disciplinary action on this user, [[Special:Contributions/2001:569:7C07:2600:34C3:F496:71FB:7EC3|2001:569:7C07:2600:34C3:F496:71FB:7EC3]] and its alter-ego, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lee_Jae-yoon&oldid=924680947 23.16.167.50]].

While I don't want to bring off-site drama in here, I feel this is relevant enough to be also brought up here: the nominator is currently going on a highly offensive tirade on Twitter, celebrating his success in getting the page removed and flinging transphobic insults at the person under question. The given account is {{redacted}}, and here's an example of the content: {{redacted}}. The editor seems to be putting in a large number of AfD requests due to his personal grudges, which really doesn't seem okay.

And I would like to believe that my conduct is generally okay on-site ever since all my restrictions have been lifted. Secondly, every time I start an AFD, I cite valid notability guidelines in my arguments. I would debate with the Keep camp respectfully. Nothing wrong with that.

As a side note, the restoration of the Mongillo article was handled poorly, as Knowledge mentioned. I nommed the article for AFD2 in an attempt to get that mess sorted out. The 2nd AFD page looks quite messy as well, ranging from some users simply voting, while others criticized how Roem simply restored the article with barely any improvements and pretty much the same sources as opposed to getting it DRVed, and some of them even tried to suggest that the AFD was made with malicious intentions in mind.

*'''Comment.''' I've been out during the day, so I've unfortunately only been able to see all that's transpired in the last 12 hours. To answer the initial concerns raised here, my request to Jo-Jo, and subsequent restoring of the article, were only due to the course outlined on the DRV page, which asks appealing editors to first go to the closing admin. It was certainly not my intention to cause any confusion in that sense; I took Jo-Jo's statement as functionally saying there was no consensus with the first AfD, and to see if it's tagged again in the future. This all said - I think the more concerning issues are those flagged by folks above regarding Sk8erPrince's conduct, especially as it relates to AfD. Whatever your thoughts on the Casey Mongillo article, I feel that's a more pressing concern for the state of these pages. I will be proposing a re-imposition of the topic ban, or a block, in a new section below. If there's any other questions regarding the restoring of the page though, please don't hesitate to ping me.

**Historically, that line at DRV's been aimed mostly at speedy deletions, and only at technical problems when applied to deletion discussions (of the "Hey, you closed this AFD as 'keep' and deleted the article anyway" and "Ahem.  Did you notice that the only person advocating deletion !voted fourteen times?" variety) - the specific wording at DRV is "mistake, miscommunication, or misunderstanding".  There's precedent for a closing admin to reopen and relist a discussion on their own authority very shortly after a close, though it's rare; reversing oneself without comment on ''content'' grounds, nearly a week after closing a well-attended AFD, is unheard-of. —[[User:Cryptic|Cryptic]] 02:46, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

*To clarify my actions on this page a bit, Lord Roem did state that a source (TV Guide) which was mentioned but not explicitly discussed in detail during the prior AFD satisfied SIGCOV criteria. Had this argument been made in the AFD it may have changed the outcome of the discussion from "consensus to delete" to "no consensus", emphasis on "may" however. Thus their argument was IMO not sufficient to overturn the previous AFD wholesale, merely good enough to have another discussion either at deletion review or "restore it and see if someone else re-AFD's". They did say that they didn't want to go to deletion review, so it became the latter. In retrospect, I believe either a relist or a second AFD immediately would have been better.

It's been proposed above that Sk8erPrince be subject to a topic ban related to either entertainment or voice actor-related pages, but I think a look at AfD suggests re-imposing the deletion topic ban is better tailored. I'm setting this separate section to divide that conversation from the discussion of the AfD itself above. For context, an AfD-related topic ban which had been previously imposed by the community [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive312#Appeal_my_Deletion_TBan was lifted in September] after the editor promised a change in behavior. Since then, there are examples of [[WP:TENDENTIOUS|tendentious]] behavior, with the editor appearing to still view AfD as some kind of fight, with winners and losers: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Casey_Mongillo_(2nd_nomination)&oldid=924471802 "I'm ready for round 2"] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AAdministrators%27_noticeboard%2FIncidents&type=revision&diff=924639976&oldid=924639963 "As a matter of fact, your side *did* win."] This was precisely one of the issues the editor argued he had grown out of, mentioning at the start of his appeal in September that his old  [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Sk8erPrince&oldid=792874491#Pages_I've_deleted achievement board] of deleted articles was old behavior he wouldn't repeat. 

This, taken together with a tendency for [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Persona_3_characters&diff=prev&oldid=915591245 uncivil] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grant_George&diff=prev&oldid=915592481 behavior] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=A_Silent_Voice_(film)&diff=prev&oldid=922338497 throughout] their recent months of editing with needlessly rough edit summaries or comments, makes me feel another break from the AfD scene would be best for all involved. 

These diffs were what I've just found in the last few minutes, but I'd like to hear thoughts from others. To be precise, I'm proposing '''reinstating the AfD/deletion topic ban.''' Best, '''[[User:Lord Roem|Lord Roem]]''' ~ ([[User talk:Lord Roem|talk]]) 02:53, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
*Prince [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/924644862 agreed to it above]. So I think we have a tban in deletion related discussions in the can, so to speak. FWIW, I hope this isn’t what it seems and we can all return to making an encyclopedia. —[[User:Adamfinmo|AdamF in MO]] ([[User talk:Adamfinmo|talk]]) 03:01, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
*'''Oppose''' - You're basically proposing to reinstate the indefinite Tban because you used your admin tools to undelete an article which was fairly deleted using the AFD process, with literally *zero* consensus to overturn the result, because it wasn't done at DRV. Yes, discussing the issue with Jojo was a-okay, but the undeletion was out of order, as noted by some users above. My behavior wasn't at all saintly, but I was trying to clean up the mess you've created as a result of the misuse of your tools; so did {{u|AngusWOOF}}. If you disagree with the results, then you should have sent it to DRV. I tried to speedy delete the article with [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:G4&redirect=no G4], since it was practically identical to the deleted revision, but to no avail. So did Angus. As such, I figured that my next option would be to renominate the article for deletion, to at least get something happening, because I am dissatisfied with how the article was recreated without a new consensus. 

:What even is the point of recreating the article with barely any new content? The same sources and roles are being analyzed again, and it's ridiculous. We already did that the [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Casey_Mongillo|first time around]]. And there are proper procedures in overturning a consensus, but you decided not to do that. Now you're suddenly suggesting that it's my fault that the article is being renommed for deletion. Incredible. '''Look, I don't mind staying off of AFDs for the time being, until this discussion ends''', but think of how utterly outrageous this proposal is. Nothing would have happened if you had simply followed protocol and worked on making the article stronger and less susceptible to AFDs in your own sandbox. And to think that this done by all an admin, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Lord_Roem&diff=prev&oldid=921818314&diffmode=source whose last known activity was *last month* (Oct 18)] before resurfacing to "rescue" Mongillo's article.

*'''Support''' This will be the third time for a topic ban. My momma said, "You choose the behavior you choose the consequence." The AfDs need a break and the editor has shown that he cannot stop.

The comments throughout this thread about the fact that the editor was previously blocked or previously TBANned are not a basis for a TBAN now if there has been no new misconduct. Opening this second AfD after the previous one was closed as delete and then overturned by the closing admin is not misconduct. Maybe it should have been a DRV, but we don't ban users from AfD for using the wrong venue. It's a little alarming that so many SPAs have been pushing this thread in this direction, with their references to "off-wiki conduct" and worse, out of an apparent attempt to harass and silence an editor they disagree with.

*::::<small>{{ping|Creffett}}, maybe you didn't mean to suggest this but I disagree that off-wiki harassment is the only element of someone's off-wiki actions that can be considered. If someone has given indication that their actions here are being carried out for the wrong reasons and not to improve wikipedia, or they have a view of what improves wikipedia that contradicts our policies and guidelines and are seeking to impose it not by changing those policies or guidelines but by ignoring them, then in some circumstances it may be appropriate to stop them being able to do such actions. I don't see why it matters that these were only expressed off-wiki. I appreciate this can be complicated since editors may have reasonable differences on interpretation of our policies and guidelines. And since they are meant to be descriptive and not prescriptive, to some extent they can change simply by practice. Also, since editor's are perfectly entitled to their own views and to express them where appropriate, we have to take care that there is sufficient evidence the editor's actions here, whether because they are inappropriately influenced by their views or whatever, are the problem and not simply their views. Plenty of editors can and do have differing views, but still respect how our community operates and act accordingly. Of course, the community cannot consider such issues if the comments are not publicly linked by the editor concerned, only arbcom, hence this is largely moot. In addition, due consideration needs to be given whether it's genuinely the editor here, and whether those comments are serious or could have been misinterpreted but most of this arises with comments left here on wikipedia too. Still, I think we need to be clear it's not only off-wiki harassment that may be a concern in off-wiki conduct.

*:::::{{u|Nil Einne}}, yeah, perhaps I was overbroad in that statement. I agree that off-wiki actions are almost always going to be a case-by-case issue (since what they did, where they did it, etc. all will affect how relevant it is here). My general opinion (caveated with the fact that I've never actually been involved in any incidents which crossed the off/on wiki boundary) is that unless someone's off-wiki actions somehow have a clear and direct on-wiki impact, they shouldn't be brought up. So if you, say, found a social media page which indicated that an editor might have a strong bias, I'd say ignore, but if the social media page is inciting its followers to go vandalize the 2020 US elections page, then that crosses the boundary and needs to be dealt with. It is a difficult balance between privacy and protecting the wiki, and one that I probably should think some more on.
*:::::In this case, however, I feel that "so-and-so is having a meltdown on Twitter" and "so-and-so is a failed voice actor, just google them" aren't clear enough problems to justify outing. <sup><small>[[User:Creffpublic|creffpublic]]</small></sup> <sub style="margin-left:-8ex"><small>a [[User:Creffett|creffett]] franchise</small></sub> ([[User_talk:Creffett|talk to the boss]]) 13:50, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

*'''Support Topic Ban''' - seems pretty clear that after the two previous topic bans, this user has returned to their same ways, and are exhibiting battleground behaviour in AFDs - or pretty much anytime they disagree with anyone about anything. I'd support further action if there was a clear proposal. There's no clear indication that Arbcom is looking at this user's behaviour, other issues -and no open case that I can see. No reason not to take action at this time. A voluntary commitment might make sense if they were co-operative and hadn't already been sanctioned twice for this issue - with the previous topic ban being lifted only weeks ago!

*'''Comment''' there may be merit for a re-imposition of the topic ban based on available evidence but frankly I can't be bothered looking in to it. Maybe others don't feel the same but I wonder if it might be better to put this aside for now since my feeling from the crumbs I've read here is there is likely to be compelling reason for arbcom to at a minimum, re-impose the topic based on private evidence. About the voluntarily stepping away bit, I remember [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Enforceability of logged voluntary editing restrictions]]. Is [[User:Sk8erPrince]] agreeing to a restriction which will be logged at [[Wikipedia:Editing restrictions/Voluntary]]? If so then this may be enough to allay the communities concerns. If not, then the main benefit would be if it's enough to allay those who feel we can't wait for arbcom. A community sanction will still be stronger since I think while a voluntary topic ban can be enforceable it doesn't need to be appealed to the community per se.

Since it's explicitly only until arbcom comments, it supports my view the voluntary agreement is only useful in supporting us waiting to see if arbcom decides to take any action before we discuss any community sanction if people still feel there's a need, rather than in lieu of a community sanction.

=== Adamfinmo and [[WP:OUTING]] ===
Is it just me or does the comment {{tq|''All one needs to do is google search this user’s name and and you can see for yourself''}} directed at Sk8erPrince very obviously violate the "opposition research" clause of [[WP:OUTING]]? It's pretty normal for editors who have admitted to engaging in this kind of behaviour to be blocked on site, but in the above section Adam doubled down on it ''twice''. Whether or not his claims about what Sk8erPrince said off-wiki are "true" seems frankly irrelevant -- "failed voice actor" is not an objectively verifiable fact, and someone's saying it about themselves in a self-deprecating, self-pitying, ironic, or even sincere fashion would not justification for [[WP:WIAPA|slinging it back at them in an aggressive manner]], '''even if S8P had said as much on English Wikipedia'''. [[User:Hijiri88|Hijiri 88]] (<small>[[User talk:Hijiri88|聖]][[Special:Contributions/Hijiri88|やや]]</small>) 05:32, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
:Agreed, they should redact it ''entirely'' and refrain from repeats in the future. It's simply not appropriate. '''[[User:Lord Roem|Lord Roem]]''' ~ ([[User talk:Lord Roem|talk]]) 06:06, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
::Telling people to do an internet search, even an obvious one crosses the OUTING line. We might as well allow links to the results if people are allowed to do that. I also have no objections to removing this subsection once the concerns have been dealt with. Also when I first visited this thread I was confused why 2 different editors said the same thing. I'm still confused, but if's because of something the editor said off-wiki which hasn't been linked to by them, saying it is clearly inappropriate. (As for what to do if the editor had said it here, that's more complicated. It would be inappropriate for someone to just sling it back as an insult. But IMO there could be circumstances when it may be relevant to the discussion and can be brought up in an appropriate way.) [[User:Nil Einne|Nil Einne]] ([[User talk:Nil Einne|talk]]) 06:37, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
:::Just to be clear, I brought up the hypothetical of "if they had said it on-wiki" because while it would be difficult to determine the appropriateness of slinging a self-deprecating or self-pitying remark back at someone (due to the fact that we can't necessarily tell what the original intent was), it's even more difficult when we don't actually have their exact words and can't retrieve them without violating Wikipedia policy.

::::I think we need to be clear that editors are mostly entitled to do what they want outside wikipedia provided it doesn't affect us here. If editor's want to read what some editor did elsewhere, that's their choice and none of our business. It's most definitely not a violation of Wikipedia policy to do so. However they cannot bring what they found here, cannot encourage others to look into it, nor should they allow it to influence how they act here (within reason). In other words, keep it private and off-wiki. If editors harass some editor off-wiki, then that may be a concern. As I pointed out above, there are also other aspects of off-wiki conduct which may concern us. Also, since it's difficult to put aside what you know, editors do have to carefully whether it may influence their actions here despite their best efforts and how they will handle this, which may include not commenting about the editor, and especially not taking administrative action. Still it's ultimately their choice and simply reading what some editor has said elsewhere without bringing it here is no violation. Or to put it a different way, the key point is that we cannot discuss it here in any way, not the it's illegitimate for other editors to know about it.

*{{comment}}I just reported the OP Hijiri88 to ARBCOM last night for his own [[WP:OUTING]] behavior from yesterday.  So it is quite [[WP:KETTLE]] on the OPs part.

*'''FWIW''' I think we're done here. Adamfinmo and others definitely violated policy, but given how secretive ArbCom is about this stuff, we'll probably never know if they were "justified". Sk8erPrince is effectively site-banned. I and others no doubt still believe the page should remain deleted pending consensus otherwise; the only thing that would change that would be a revelation from ArbCom that in fact Sk8erPrince was actually a sock of another site-banned editor before he opened the ''first'' AFD.

From what I can tell, the original concerns over the way the page was recreated after AfD have been adequately dealt with.

So this started yesterday when I found that Chuckstreet had added bold to level 2 headers, indented paragraphs, and made 3 lines between paragraphs. I decided to revert it because it was an [[WP:MOS]] violation. He shortly reverted the edit [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nocturnes_%28Debussy%29&type=revision&diff=923853511&oldid=923844942 here], saying that because the MoS did not explicitly forbid it, it was justifiable. I found the talk page and found that he was already in a dispute about style. The dispute could not be resolved on the talk page, so I took it to the dispute resolution board. The request for resolution was closed because there was no compromise: either follow the MoS or don't. I had attempted to resolve the conflict on the talk page, but he decided to revert my comments on the talk page because they were "irrelevant."

In the lists of compositions articles, I removed bold from the lead because it did not bold the entire title, which means that there was an [[MOS:BEATLES]] violation. He called me a vandal, reverting the edits. See [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_compositions_by_Franz_Liszt&diff=prev&oldid=923971405 1], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_compositions_by_Maurice_Ravel&diff=prev&oldid=923971142 2], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_compositions_by_Claude_Debussy&diff=prev&oldid=923970793 3], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_compositions_by_Johannes_Brahms&diff=prev&oldid=923961506 4].

My view: Chuckstreet is a rather new editor who did '''incredibly good things''' such Debussy's works ([[List of compositions by Claude Debussy|now]] - [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_compositions_by_Claude_Debussy&oldid=855708250 before]), a uniform sfn referencing for [[Clara Schumann]], and major expansion of the Nocturnes ([[Nocturnes (Debussy)|now]] - [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nocturnes_(Debussy)&oldid=923318713 before]). Chuckstreet and I were in peaceful conversations about the formatting, when AUU came in, reverted, went first to dispute resolution and then here, both prematurely. Where did AGF go? --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 08:16, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
:::I am the [[WP:DRN|DRN]] volunteer who closed the DRN request.  It was filed by [[User:AnUnnamedUser]] and said that there was a formatting dispute.  I asked what the dispute was, and was told that [[User:Chuckstreet]] wanted to bold the level 2 headings, to insert extra lines, and to indent paragraphs.  They said that the basic issue was that [[User:Chuckstreet]] wanted to do formatting that was not described in the MOS, because it was not forbidden to do the extra formatting (e.g., bolding the level 2 headings).  [[User:Theroadislong]] (not listed as a party above) disagreed with making exceptions to the MOS (that is, agreed with AAU and disagreed with Chuckstreet).  I closed the DRN thread for two related reasons.  First, my interpretation is that the MOS is meant to be the guide to formatting, not a starting point for formatting.  Second, DRN is for content issues that can be resolved by compromise.  This appeared to be a yes-no type of issue that cannot be resolved by compromise.  (On content issues, if one user wants to insert a paragraph and one wants to exclude it, a compromise is to shorten the paragraph.  A yes-no question is better decided by [[WP:3O|Third Opinion]] or [[WP:RFC|Request for Comments]].)  I also said that one of the editors had been insulting other editors.  I also cautioned [[User:Chuckstreet]] about referring to edits with which they disagreed (such as reverting their format changes) as vandalism, saying that if you have been editing Wikipedia long enough to know what [[WP:VAND|vandalism]] is, you have been editing Wikipedia long enough to know [[WP:NOTVAND|what is not vandalism]].  I see no evidence that [[Genseric]]'s followers have visited.  Perhaps [[User:Gerda Arendt]] would have preferred that I be more diplomatic, or that I not mention in my close of the DRN thread that conduct disputes can go to [[WP:ANI]].  Perhaps Gerda can persuade Chuckstreet to accept consensus when he comes off block.  That might be the best possible result.

I didn't really feel like responding in ANI here since I thought this whole thing unworthy, but I guess I do have to set the record straight. Everyone has misconstrued this whole situation and blown it out of proportion (maybe to justify it being in ANI in the first place, despite it's triviality and inurgency?) Firstly, NinjaRobotPirate's misguided 31 hour (why 31?) hasty block (for "still" attacking?? he had already gone and there was no one to attack) didn't even give me a chance to respond and defend myself and show you all that I'm not the perpetrator of harassment nor the rogue rejecter of the almighty MOS, but the victim of AUU's (I shall call him for short) harassment and the one (among others!) that was trying to (vainly because he doesn't <i>want</i> to listen) teach AUU what MOS really said (someone else not me explained to him it wasn't a MOS:BEATLES violation) and how <i>his</i> edits were violating MOS and other rules, including Disruptive Editing and how he was going against long-standing consensus (in the 4 "List of Compositions" articles).

My main bone of contention with him was a problem I see frequently on WP: failure to follow the D in BRD. Oh he's Bold all right, but when he gets Reverted, he thinks the D stands for Dispute (as in DRN) instead of Discuss (as in article Talk page). It's not a simple failure that could be corrected in his case, but a <i>refusal</i>. That along with his God Complex, or at the very least, police mentality, as if WP were a fascist dictatorship where any infraction of a rule would elicit a severe Punishment akin to death by execution by firing squad (ergo Block by ANI), where AUU proceeded to Lay Down The Law, in the form of his own personal rules he Required everyone to follow (see his response to the fake posting that looks like it was written by me with my signature username (I didn't write that, he took a post of mine from elsewhere, modified it and posted it himself in his own private (attempt at stalling and diverting another) thread, on the "Nocturnes (Debussy)" article Talk page (where it was and is so grossly out of place and off topic) - that severely violates another rule and is just evidence of further harassment of me), is what bugged me the most.

Bad enough that he singled me out for reasons I still can't figure, harassed me on my talk page, after making a mess of the Nocturnes page that I grew to realize was intentional (thus it could be termed vandalism), and several other pages I had recently edited (what a coincidence, huh?), by bragging that he'd Reverted me (false, he reverted himself and Gerda Arendt, back TO my last good edit, and then made a new edit himself on top of that, that included messy changes that had nothing to do with his MOS claims) for 2 MOS violations (neither of which was true or applicable). Then when I reverted him, politely telling him in the edit summary (a place he erroneously thinks is improper to have a conversation (ever hear of a Dummy Edit? (and no, that's not an insult, AUU, calm down and read the real WP rules))) that there were no MOS violations (on any of the 5 articles) and there was already a discussion going on in Talk and he was encouraged to join (Debussy Nocturnes), and that his changes actually violated 3 MOS rules (the 4 List of Composition articles), and also went against Consensus engendered by a consistency with 200+ other List of classical music composers' compositions articles, he then proceeded to instead vomit on the Nocturnes talk page, diverting the discussion (the actuality of which he ignored) into a ditch, and immediately ran crying to Daddy DRN, and when that didn't work, whining to Mommy ANI, a place (as it says at the top, everyone should refresh yourself and read it please) for URGENT matters and EMERGENCIES and INTRACTABLE user problems, not for petty disputes (which this wasn't even!)

I do find his DRN and especially ANI "complaints" further harassment of me. You have to look at the chronology to get the idea of what I see here; I guess it may not be obvious. Just keep in mind that his "complaints" were merely intentional misuse, designed to get at ME; he wasn't really Concerned about any of the issues he was bringing up (which on the ANI page here suspiciously changed twice again rapidly, throwing up on the proverbial wall here and hoping some of it would stick). My point is: he never had any intention of Discussing anything (having a Conversation, hey what an idea!), he was there only to disrupt and cause havoc and strife (not to mention a very active attempt at deplatforming me). And don't kid (no pun intended) yourself, he wasn't feeling "attacked", don't be naive now. Besides, I didn't attack him, did I not mention that yet? (I never actually called him a vandal anywhere; I tried to be diplomatic about it.)

How about a chronology now, or have I verbosely worn out my welcome? It'd help I think. Including my analyses and recommendations too. But first let me shed a veil or two. I'm not tied to a computer, online 24 hours a day; I have a life (Gerda wonders where I went: I've been too involved with WP and have been neglecting certain urgent matters, so I took a break until I couldn't stand the suspense anymore). I am 68 years old, an ex-concert pianist and composer, ex-filmmaker, and retired businessman (running a non-profit-turned-profit), currently living in Oregon in the United States. Ex the first because my hands are crippled due to a botched operation and complete lack of healthcare, ex the second because I lost my eyesight and ditto. I type with one good finger on a tiny keyboard, so I'm slow. I'm not completely blind, but getting there, and though I don't use a screen reader (but do use Siri), I am concerned with visual acuity on Wikipedia (which is why the "formatting" discussion on Debussy Nocturnes talk page, among other places). (MOS Accessibility is an important subset (read: exception?), I'll have you know.) Some people seem to think I'm a newbie on WP, but I've been editing it as long as it's existed, almost 20 years (I can still remember my first edit), and I've been in cyberspace since the late 1970s, and I can recognize that the biggest problem is flaming. A few (somewhat contradictory) adages would suffice here, however: You can't have too thick a skin, Preponderance is not correctness, and Don't argue with idiots, (thanks Raymond). There are plenty more, but I might begin to sound like his highness AutocraticUnctionUbiquity, so I'll shutup. I'm here on WP to contribute by hopefully imparting some of my knowledge and expertise in the pages I edit. As well as a sort of anal OCD-ness in making Lists of classical music composers' works, a holdover from my childhood where I did such things before some of the now-known catalogs were published. Bringing us once again back to AUU, who is clearly here not to contribute, but only to be a nuisance and police everybody and demand everybody (or just me?) follow the rules or wreak the wrath, and follow HIS rules, every one of which (see Talk:Nocturnes (Debussy) again) he violated himself in such a short time as the current "situation".

Chrono: oh I'm tired now. If anyone wants me to point out the <i>correct</i> sequence of events, as opposed to AUU's lies (3 blank lines in between paragraphs?? I don't think so, dude: there was only one, and that for necessary (for me anyway) readability) and feigned-ingenuously sophistical deception (I hope you'll know when you've <i>really</i> been attacked, it's a necessary part of life's defenses), ask me and I'll try to be succinct.

Suffice it to say, he started it, and I tried to (gently or not?) correct him and naively encourage him to opine in our discussion, only to have him joker my batman, and while I tried to ignore it, it was too late. To the lions, Heraclitus!

So what to do now? As soon as I was blocked, AUU went and reverted my reverts in all 5 pages (shades of one-sided edit-warring?) I need to delete that talkpage thread (again) with the fake post by (not) me; I think I have that prerogative (including the one to edit or delete my own posts), and I need to put the four list pages back to the consistency and consensus we had before, and especially I need to restore and explore the experimentation with ways to make a certain page more readable, easy on the eyes (especially if you only have half-of an), and try to have have an Intelligent and Respectful conversation about it (continuing which we were doing, at least Gerda and I), without the dangerous (yes look at all those banners on his user page, including the one that says he WANTS to be an Admin, God help us all if that ever happens) AnUnnamedUser (please ban this sort of username, among reference problems, there is a tendency to Hide behind such a handle) reverting me, or worse: vomiting on me (and everybody else!) again. How about blocking him and putting on his userpage the reasons and what he did wrong? I'd like to keep him out of our hair, at least in the classical music pages I edit and talk in. At least one volunteer/admin wondered why AUU wasn't blocked and thought he should have been. How about now? So we can be in peace.

Oh, one more thing: Robert McClenon seems to have been grossly misguided as well. Aside from his admittedly bad advice to AUU to to take the closed DRN to ANI (when you should have told him what the brD really stands for), Robert also posted on my talkpage an unfounded accusation that I "attack"ed other "editors" (note the plural) on the Nocturnes Debussy talk page (where? there are no attacks there unless maybe AUU's own DRN and God posts), whereupon I started talking about vandals (plural, thus a generalization) and said I just had to laugh at them sometimes (it can be fun!). I think we may have been talking cross purposes: I was discussing in generalizations and using smileys (see those?), I wasn't talking about AUU specifically, but some bee had got in Roberts bonnet (and appears still trapped in there (what, teach ME about consensus? hardly... I'm an expert - and what consensus are you referring to anyway?? huh?)) about something I could never figure out what. I think Robert was listening to AUU spew (mommy, he's attacking me! look look he's doing it again! help me, mommy, i'm so innocent!) in ANI without actually going on the page in question and looking at it or examining the edit history. I really don't think he knows what went on, and I'm referring to his posts here in this ANI thread (which confuse and confound me greatly). But maybe with this current post from me, things will be more understandable (or do you really want a timeline?) I do hate fabrications of accusations, so don't be coming on my talk page with your nonsense, thank you. :-/ <sigh>

Oh almost forgot, there's another party here. AUU's only accusation against Gerda Arendt is that she "communicated" with me. Ooh bad! Consorting with the enemy! ;-)

I could go on further but I've been enough of a verbositron already.

Hopefully not too abstruse.

Hey is it all right to laugh now? (Just wanna check with the PTB on that one...)

As I've been pinged, I take this as a personal threat. Anybody else here that has some opinion and control: please block this user now. I don't need threats, nobody deserves this. Block him indef and post on his user page what he did wrong. I know he won't listen, he can't read or comprehend, but we don't want him causing trouble. BTW, how long has he been on Wikipedia (can the Admins tell?). He APPEARS to be a newcomer who doesn't understand the rules and can't comprehend them (he was obviously thoroughly confused by my "essay"), yet he calls ME a newcomer when I've been editing WP since it began (he obviously read none of my post or he just pretends, just like several other users who have tried to tell him things he just ignores).

Appearances can be deceiving, however. I still maintain that he knows and understands the rules; he's just here to deliberately cause trouble, not to contribute like the rest of us. The longer this goes on, the more he slanders me. Now he's making threats. I have plenty of people literally threatening my life offline, that have committed crimes against me and that have been reported to the FBI among others. I am really starting to believe that this person is someone I know or am acquainted with or am aware of in real life. He's beginning to sound vaguely familiar. Wake up, y'all! Get rid of this guy NOW, before it escalates any further. I'm trying to be at peace here, something I don't have in real life because of harassers and slanderers and control freaks and frauds and violent criminals like this guy seems to be - I still can't tell if he's just a misguided and immature kid or a real devious threat.

I'm a disabled, home-bound old man, living alone, dying with no healthcare because Trump hates Obamacare and the entire government rallies behind the idea that old folks are useless to society so they should all have their healthcare taken away and they should all just die. And as I still cling to life, I'm obviously not dying quickly enough, so the goons come on my property, break into my house and assault me and vandalize my house and steal things from my yard. As well as a lot more severe and certainly devious things like commit fraud, identity theft, rip off tens-of-thousands of dollars out of my bank account, cut off my utilities, and make my life such a hell that I think I must be dead already. I get so many threatening and outright prank phone calls and text messages (I turned THAT thing off) and emails, that another just like it on Wikipedia is no different to me.

It started there, and is anybody wondering why he singled me out? Because I've already figured it out: he's somebody I know, making very real threats. And so far nobody's stopped him. I don't need other people coming into the middle of this (if that's what you're innocently doing) and undoing the protections I'm trying to place (in at least one page I'm working on), and downplaying the threat here.

How would this be different from [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Gage Gage Skidmore], whose quality work both increased his personal profile as a photographer, and improves the many, many articles where his work is used?

:::Maybe some of his pictures are better than what is currently in some articles – maybe not. That is really not the point, though.

If Toglenn uploads photos to Commons and then suggests on talk pages that they be added, that will presumably benefit the encyclopedia in many cases, and it will remove the glamour shot issue; that is, if there should be a consensus to include sexist images that are mere eye candy then that would be the consensus, but it's not going to be the call of one individual with a COI. --''[[User:Bonadea|bonadea]]'' <small>[[Special:Contributions/Bonadea|contributions]] [[User talk:Bonadea|talk]]</small> 13:33, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
::::I second that I also think Toglenn's pictures are of better photographic quality, so he's not making up the argument. Nothing says in the policies that Wikipedia should use high quality pictures, but arguably low quality picture may not be good for an encyclopedia that wants to look professional. About asking on talk pages first, that seems contrary to [[WP:BOLD]]. IMO nothing wrong in adding his pictures to raise the quality, but if this gets disputed, he shouldn't revert back (but reverts shouldn't be on the sole reason that he changed a picture either, eg, the DJ picture was reverted back[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Disc_jockey&diff=next&oldid=924307853] because Toglenn wrote in the edit summary that he deleted the picture, instead of replacing it, was such a revert really necessary?). --[[User:Signimu|Signimu]] ([[User talk:Signimu|talk]]) 14:21, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
:::::That COI editors should post edit requests on article talk pages rather than esit articles directly is normal procedure, outlined in the [[WP:COI|COI guideline]]. To my mind, tha is more relevant than [[WP:BOLD]] here. It is also common practice to limit the editing rights of editors who have been disruptive, even if they do edit in good faith.

The problem isn't that this user contributes photos to Wikipedia or adds them to articles, so if there's going to be a sanction here it shouldn't be on simply adding images. Requiring an evaluation of the existing images is essential, though. Another one I saw that I would consider problematic is at [[celebrity]], replacing an image of Andy Warhol, who was both a celebrity and helped to define elements of what a celebrity is (and is covered in the article), with a photo of a few current movie stars (who are not covered in the article). I would think a careful consideration of the content would lead Glenn to think twice before replacing, and maybe adding his image further down if anywhere (or else to use the talk page first). Or maybe it's as simple as saying he must find consensus to add an image ''if it's been removed''. &mdash; <samp>[[User:Rhododendrites|<span style="font-size:90%;letter-spacing:1px;text-shadow:0px -1px 0px Indigo;">Rhododendrites</span>]] <sup style="font-size:80%;">[[User_talk:Rhododendrites|talk]]</sup></samp> \\ 15:57, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
: IMO, the quality of the images isn't the problem. The bull-in-a-china-shop aggressive behavior is. I agree with others suggestion that a TBan from adding images directly to an article would be useful.

::Using the talk page to request edits isn't particularly effective most of the time, and I think a tban on ''any'' adding of his own images would be a net negative for the project. After all, he adds an awful lot of images to articles without incident, and especially, adding an image where there was none seems entirely controversial the vast majority of the time. What about a requirement that (a) any replacement of an image must be accompanied by an edit summary explaining why it's an improvement (to ensure it's thought through), and (b) once his image is removed, it shouldn't be restored without finding consensus on the talk page first. Then, if problems continue, we can revisit.

::::::Interesting. I don't know if I've seen that come up before. I mean, sure, I've seen people add an image to a handful of other wikis, but sheesh. I don't know if we have a good mechanism for this. I mean, Commons doesn't have any more control over what happens on, say, eswiki, than eswiki has here. It would certainly be a hassle to go around and leave messages for each language. If it were some obscure topic and this were the first image on commons of that topic, I would be a little more sympathetic, but that DJ image... it's not like we're lacking images of DJs. What I do know is that there's considerably leeway on Commons for photographers to include, on the file description page, a link to a photography website, commercial or not. After all, we ''want'' professional photographers to donate images to Commons and it's not like they're adding the link directly to Wikipedia pages. There's also leeway to use the photographer's name in the filename, and to specify particular attribution language. I don't think there's any appetite to change any of that (and I wouldn't support it myself -- it's generally pretty harmless as long as it stays on that file page), but this is something else.

Even if I thought his pictures were in general useful (and I admit that I don't, personally – glamour photos have a very limited use since they don't illustrate what normal people actually look like and in many cases they cater blatantly to the male gaze, in a way that makes me rather uncomfortable) the way it appears that he works as quickly as he can to get as many of his pictures as possible into Wikimedia projects, without any thought about whether each individual image is actually suitable or any attempt to write relevant captions, is not really what encyclopedia work is about, to my mind. There is another issue there regarding non-English Wikipedia versions –&nbsp;what kind of global diversity can be expected from one individual photographer who claims to be working in one small part of one specific country? In what way does it aid other language projects to be bombarded with pictures filtered through a Californian lens?  Again, I'm not in any way trying to stop the user from uploading photos or suggesting that they be added to articles.

*'''Comment''' - I've done a spot check of about a dozen images added to a page. In more than half of the cases, it's an unambiguous improvement (either replacing a low quality image of adding an image where there was none). In most of the others it was debatable (for example, an older photo of a singer singing with a current photo of a singer posing). I have no problem with someone evaluating the two photos and deciding that the latter is better. In one of the cases among those I spot-checked, there was again an incident of edit warring. These results just reaffirm that the problem is behavioral with regard to the editing process, which would be resolved by the proposal here. Disallowing replacing low quality images with higher quality ones, even when they're borderline, would be a clear net negative.

*'''Oppose''' Topic ban or sanctions are way overkill from what seems to be one dispute on one article. Editors such as [[User:LuckyLouie]] are making a category error by claiming that the photographer of an image added to Wikipedia has self-promotion, advertising, COI or SPA issues. Some people write text on Wikipedia and some people take photos for Wikipedia. There are different practices wrt filenaming and getting your modest credentials and personal links on a file description page, but those are just the way it is. I would expect a photographer to single-purposely add/replace their own images on articles just as I would expect a writer to add/replace their own text on articles. Move along folks, this is a storm in a teacup.

'''STRONG OPPOSE ''' here’s why:  When I started using Wikipedia, around 2008 or so, whenever I looked up a person all I would see were really bad photos of them. I said to myself. Wow, I can’t believe this, I can help. I have great photos of them. I’m going to do this person a big favor and post a really good photo of them. 

That’s it. When I come across a bad photo of someone I simply add or replace with a good one. I don’t replace good photos – no reason to. That’s all I do. And it makes me feel good that I did this for them, even though they never know who did it. 

All this talk about self-promotion is baffling to me – It is nonsense. IT IS NOT REALITY. Reality is that it takes time and effort to this and I receive absolutely NO benefit what-so-ever. Financially and time wise – it’s a total loss.  Wikipedia says “don’t expect to be rewarded” – and I don’t. I know that from the beginning but I accept it. 

Although I know and it’s a loss, I do it only for the purpose of improving the Photo content of Wikipedia up to the high standards of the Text content.  I love Wikipedia because I’m really into truth and facts and Wikipedia is one of the few places to get that – and I’m proud to present high Quality Hi-Quality images for that purpose. 

Although I do not expect any rewards, the last thing I expected is to be banned.  Anyone who supports this proposed ban on me would be making a very bad and uninformed decision for Wikipedia and to the people who would benefit from having good photos of them instead of them on Wikipedia instead of bad ones.

Hi Jorn, Thanks for your question. I'm a Press Photographer. We include our names with our photos. It's standard procedure and required in most cases. It's identifying information that is important to include.  If that's an issue on Wikipedia, I will exclude that. It makes absolutely no difference to me.  When you say no one else does, that's because they are not professional press photographers.   David Shankbone, Gage Skidmore, and myself are the only Professional celebrity Press photographers who contribute to Wikipedia. They also include their names as part of the file name. If you see a  professional looking photo of a person on Wikipedia that wasn't by one of us three, they were most likely placed there by a bot that got them from Flickr - or worse - YouTube. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Toglenn|Toglenn]] ([[User talk:Toglenn#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Toglenn|contribs]]) </small>

Regarding Binksternet’s comment about Bebe Rexha: 
One of the primary reasons professional photographers don’t post to Wikipedia (besides giving away our photos for free) is having to put up with BS that sometimes goes along with it. In this case someone didn’t like my photo of Bebe Rexha and so he decided that she must have been heavily photoshopped and didn’t look anything like her. Although photos are very subjective, there is this thing know as truth and facts (there’s also a thing known as good makeup, lighting, and photography). This wasn’t an edit war it was a viewer making outrageously false accusations, and based on his false accusations didn’t want it used. To resolved this, I just used another photo of her.[[User:Toglenn|Glenn Francis]] ([[User talk:Toglenn|talk]]) 05:09, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
:{{u|Toglenn}}, that is self-serving bullshit, and I think you know it. If you want to upload photos and offer them to the community in the way you seem to think you are doing, then you can do it via the Talk page and allow others to decide. That is normal practice for people referencing their own content on Wikipedia (per [[WP:COI]]). Images are somewhat different to, e.g., references to one's own book, but not ''that'' different. What you are doing, by your own admission, is inserting ''your'' images into articles ''without regard to the images that are already there''. That's not "BS" or people not liking your images, you cannot possibly be a neutral evaluator of your own work. It's [[WP:OWN]]ership behaviour. Calling this out is fully consistent with our gratitude for your provision of high quality photos. You need to understand: you are not the arbiter here. I've dealt with many people submitting photos via OTRS, most approach it with some humility. The closest we've come to your level of aggressive response to pushback was with [[user:David Shankbone]], and he got pretty much the same response: Thank you for helping, but don't presume that you get a right of veto.

*I've been flagged down as a dual enwiki and Commons admin to this thread; right now it probably doesn't need me in those roles.<br>As a photographer, I generally support the inclusion of well-lit high-quality photographs over lower-quality ones.

*{{Cmt}} [[user:JzG|Guy]], etc, FYI, photographers on Commons, and other Commoners who acquire images from third parties, restore historical images, etc, '''routinely insert their own photos/uploads onto Wikipedia pages''' and other sister projects. This is absolutely normal and usually helpful. It also very much is ''not'' the Wikipedia manner for editors to use the talk page to request others include their content.... because our own content is generally the words we add to any article when we aren't plagiarising or quoting. You seem to be trying to apply COI and referencing guidelines to content, which just isn't appropriate. Content is content whether words or images. If someone takes a great photo and uploads it for free and adds it to Wikipedia, that is no difference to someone spending their free time to write or expand a great article using their own words. Clearly we expect editors here to improve the articles (again, whether text or image) and to seek consensus if there is a dispute (whether text or image). Where we might get into COI with text, where the subject of an article tries to edit for flattery, we might also get for images where the subject of the photo wants their image to represent a topic.
:Wrt attribution/promotion, inserting one's real name, user name or initials into a file path is also quite normal and practised by many highly awarded Wikipedians. The attribution template on this photographer's file description page is also extremely normal, modest and perfectly in keeping with best practice for CC licensing. I get that Wikipedian writers have a lower profile wrt attribution: the URL isn't [[Archaea-by-Tim-Vickers]] and you aren't singled-out on the talk page for contributions or links to your blog. Just deal with that and get over yourselves.
:I see someone above writing " Per WP:SPA, WP:SPAM, and in our WP:COI guideline we have WP:SELFPROMOTE." despite the fact that none of those guidelines are relevant here. Please: a photographer's photo content is not more COI/SELFPROMOTE than a Wikipedian's original text content. If there are issues wrt edit warring and not improving the project wrt the content being added, then by all means discuss how they should be better handled or apply sanctions if discussion fails. But enough with the ''OMG the photographer's own name is in the file name, what a self promoting wanker we have here!!!'' attitude. -- [[User:Colin|Colin]]°[[User talk:Colin|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 13:08, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
::{{u|Colin}}, to be clear, the edit warring and insulting other editors are why we are here. If he had not accused another editor of bullying, harassment and vandalism, simply for disagreeing with the use of one of his pictures, we would not be having this conversation. As for the promo concerns, I think that has been exacerbated by his admission that he routinely replaces existing photographs across multiple wikis with his own work ''without even checking the image he is replacing''. I can see why people are concerned with that approach to editing, even if the attribution statement is quite standard.

:::[[User:Girth Summit|Girth Summit]] edit warring on a single article on one occasion never got anyone topic banned. Wrt "without checking" I think really we need more than foolish words but actual examples of where this photographer has removed/replaced/down-shifted photographs that were clearly better than his, and edit warred to retain his inferior photo. I'm certainly not seeing that (quite the opposite) wrt [[Disc jockey]]. I see a lot of people making quite ignorant comments failing to equate the two kinds of content and making obviously jealous comments wrt the promotion that all image makers on Wiki are entitled do.  At the moment, people are suggesting we topic ban someone and the only evidence given is one case where they actually improved the article with a great image and got beaten into a submission by editors replacing it with crap images instead. I accept that they (along with others) edit warred on this one case, but that is only sufficient for a user-talk page warning, not a topic ban.

::I agree with about 2/3 of what Colin said. There's a lot of nonsense here that seems premised on incorrect ideas about e.g. websites on file pages, whether or not someone can include their real name in the attribution language (??), using real names in filenames, what constitutes a COI, etc. I think the analogy to article text is interesting. Presumably a professor, who is trained to write on scholarly topics, who gets a meager amount of service credit for writing Wikipedia articles, is not going to have all of their edits scrutinized for COI and special restrictions placed upon them for mentioning their university position on their userpage. It's not a perfect analogy, but an interesting one, IMO. But Colin, the thing here -- and the reason I supported -- is because there ''are'' behavioral issues. I would just want Glenn to follow the practices basically everyone else does when it comes to adding photos to pages (regardless of whether they're one's own images): ensure it's an improvement, and find consensus if it's challenged. I sincerely hope that this sanction, since it will surely pass, doesn't have a chilling effect on Glenn's (or some other photographer's) contributions here, because it has indeed gone off the rails a bit (welcome to AN/I...). The "jealous" bit is just going to distract people from the rest of your comment, though, Colin; I'd strike that FWIW. &mdash; <samp>[[User:Rhododendrites|<span style="font-size:90%;letter-spacing:1px;text-shadow:0px -1px 0px Indigo;">Rhododendrites</span>]] <sup style="font-size:80%;">[[User_talk:Rhododendrites|talk]]</sup></samp> \\ 14:37, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
:::[[User:Rhododendrites|Rhododendrites]] can you cite diffs for a routine pattern of behaviour where this photographer has clearly overwritten images with worse ones of their own. Forget what they may have said about "without checking". Surely, for a topic ban, we need a consistent long-running pattern of warring and making Wikipedia worse, with diffs. The disc jockey article is an embarrassingly bad example and sure he got wound up about it, but he wasn't the one edit warring to put rubbish pictures into the article! While the numerical !votes above might indicate a topic ban is expected, I would expect any closing admin to actually rise above mere vote counting and expect basic standards of evidence of longstanding behavioural issues, evidence that parties have tried and failed on multiple occasions, etc, etc. I see one article, one edit war, and several people other than the one in the dock are making Wikipedia worse by their edit warring with him. 
:::I don't think the professor-service-credit analogy is helpful, other than a professor may be a subject-expert and thus knows what they are writing about more than the average Wikipedian looking at sources. A professional photographer will have the talent, gear and access in order to create images that normal Wikipedians and their iPhones will not. Photographers and illustrators are entitled to real/username credit in their filenames, and when you click on their content, you go to a page that tells you about how they want to be credited if the work is re-used, and how to contact them if you want different licence terms. Wikipedian editors are not entitled to that: they get their contributions buried in the history. Wikipedia text is collaboratively written; Commons images are not (generally) collaboratively taken/made. This is just how it is. I think the idea that a photographer consistently adding great professional-level photographs to articles is a [[WP:SPA]] just about the most embarrassingly funny thing I have read here for some time. I agree the "jealous" bit is likely to make some folk here uncomfortable. Doesn't make it less true and they should examine their motives carefully. -- [[User:Colin|Colin]]°[[User talk:Colin|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 15:00, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

*'''Support 1RR restriction on <u>all</u> edits''' and '''[[WP:CIVILITY]] "only warning"'''. I support Girth's proposal, and I would also support going further, based on my review of edits over the last six months. I think the 1RR restriction should be expanded to include all edits. I think an "only warning" (meaning, a final warning, except I think it would also the first warning, so "only" warning) to abide by [[WP:CIVILITY]] is merited. Many of Toglenn's edits were to BLPs, but they did not appear to have been notified of discretionary sanctions, so I have notified them.
**I agree with much of what Colin writes. Toglenn's editing is ''not'' SPA, COI, or SPAM. 
**However, I think some of the edits ''are'' [[WP:PROMO]]–not necessarily of Toglenn and his photography business, but of the subjects of his photographs. For example, at [[Disc jockey]], replacing [[:File:ALEX NILSON.jpg|the prior image]] with [[:File:DJ Bad Ash 2018 by Glenn Francis.jpg|his image]]. His image is not an image of a disc jockey disc jockeying, but of a disc jockey posing for a publicity photograph, with her name ''prominently'' shown in the photograph. This would be appropriate for the article about that disc jockey; however, it is not appropriate for the article [[Disc jockey]]. A picture of a particular DJ with their name prominently emblazoned, on the article [[Disc jockey]], is basically an advertisement for that DJ.
**Reviewing ''some'' of the edits over the last six months or so turned up concerning behavior that seems to be getting worse as time goes on:

*'''Support''' although I agree with Colin that adding images is just like adding text, and it's normal that the author puts the credentials (after all, we have the option to license under CCBY), the mass addition to 50 other WP languages and the unwarranted personal attack of "vandalism" (in addition to not seek consensus) seems really problematic. I appreciate the editor's work, but it can't be forced upon the encyclopedia if challenged. --[[User:Signimu|Signimu]] ([[User talk:Signimu|talk]]) 17:35, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
* '''Weak support''' (warning preferred).  But ''only'' if this is expressed in terms of over-riding opposition from others by re-adding images. I'd still welcome their efforts in general, and if they are indeed the best image available, then we should choose it. But that needs to be decideable, if questioned, by discussion through talk: etc. and a case made as to why particular images are best.

===Proposal: Warning===
Toglenn has never been subject to a sanction before, has never been blocked, and steadily contributes a lot of high-quality photos to Wikipedia. There are a few clear behavioral issues here which the tban above seeks to address. On reflection, however, this might be premature. I went through the last few years of talk page messages, and although there are a couple disputes (mostly over things other than photos, I should say), I don't see so much as one formal edit warring warning. 

Perhaps if {{u|Toglenn}} simply acknowledges that it's important to ensure an image is an improvement before adding it, and that if material is removed he should not repeatedly reinstate it without finding consensus (being basic rules all of us follow), then we can call this a formal warning and hope we don't find ourselves back here. &mdash; <samp>[[User:Rhododendrites|<span style="font-size:90%;letter-spacing:1px;text-shadow:0px -1px 0px Indigo;">Rhododendrites</span>]] <sup style="font-size:80%;">[[User_talk:Rhododendrites|talk]]</sup></samp> \\ 15:41, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

*'''Support''' Thank you [[User:Levivich|Levivich]] for the kind of analysis/research that should be performed when considering sanctions, rather than ignorant rants about self-promoting SPAs above. I make no apologies for that insult because I see a bunch of experienced self-entitled bullies attack a good-faith contributor who is so inexperienced at talk/forum discussions, he can't even get the indentation right (look at the contribs -- you guys spend more time yaking on this page in a day than this guy as done ever). One thing missing from the analysis, however, is the warring by others. For example, on Britney Spears, Alienatedney reverted four times and their first revert did not explain why. Simply "undo". That's just rude. These photos don't just take themselves, and although the edit represents a minute of work, the photo might have taken hours of donated time. Levivich mentions an HTML comment he added, but he may have picked this up from Taylor Swift, which had a similar comment before Toglenn added his image. My guess is that Toglenn is unaware that some articles are hotbeds of edit warring over lead images and he may step into this war and thus step on the toes of some hotheads with settled ideas. Also he should appreciate that articles such as [[Disc jockey]] could be illustrated with any number of images and it may be less obvious to others that his choice is superior.
:However, since this AN/I was raised by Toglenn, I think it would be most unfair if a warning was not also given to [[User:SergeWoodzing]] for edit warring at [[Disc jockey]] and making spurious arguments (we don't require [[Chef]] is illustrated by a celebrity chef, for example). Lastly, all the people who made comments like "Glenn, would you still be fighting for this particular photo if it wasn't one you took and uploaded yourself" should go and replace "photo" with "this text you wrote" and [[Wikipedia:Whacking with a wet trout|whack themselves with a wet trout]] for ridiculous bullying over a '''contributor adding their own content''', content that may have taken hours of work. -- [[User:Colin|Colin]]°[[User talk:Colin|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 18:41, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
::{{u|Colin}}, hi - I've been mulling over your comment for a few hours now, and feel I have to reply. Would you be prepared to be specific about who you are accusing of being a self-entitled bully? As the proposer of the above section, I can't shake the feeling that I am included in that criticism; yet at the same time, I feel that I have made my best efforts to act professionally and courteously when dealing with someone who, in my judgment, does not extend that same consideration to those who disagree with them. If you are going to make comments like that, which you describe yourself as insults, would you be prepared to be clear about who you are directing them at?

:::[[User:Girth Summit|Girth]], your comments have been quite measured in comparison to some that I am criticising. I'm sure they know who they are. I do think you have failed to examine the other parties involved in the edit warring and their portion of blame. I think you and others have also failed to consider the relative inexperience of this editor wrt Wikipedia discussions and policies. What AN/I (on Wiki and Commons) often fails with is the "angry customer" situation. Toglenn came to AN/I as an angry customer: he'd gone to some effort to take this photo, process it, upload it to Commons and noticed that the Disc jockey article didn't have a lead image. He added his and then some **** kept deleting it. So he came here asking for help. While the experienced folk here, with Wiki:talk contrib histories that go into tens of pages long know not to call someone else a vandal or troll, he really is a relative newbie when you look at the contribs. Failure to deal with an "angry customer" is where folk [[Tone policing|concentrate on tone]] or naughty words used, and fail to try to understand. The first response he gets here is someone basically telling him he's been a fool and should **** off and apologise. Then we got lots of people who clearly haven't the first clue about photographers on Wikipedia taking moral judgement against the photographer for promoting himself. So he's not just a fool but an asshole too. Queue more "ban the self-promoting asshole" comments, which just encourage more "ban the self-promoting asshole" comments, and before long we get folk now proposing he can't add images to Wikipedia any more. The actual degree of disruption/warring involved is really very minor indeed. I've been on Wiki for a long time, and know lots of editors with clean block logs who cause more disruption before breakfast than this guy has in his whole editing history. If you really sit back and look at the Disc jockey situation, you might consider that he really did have a reason to come to AN/I and at the most, both editors should have been warned about edit warring and the other guy educated about image sourcing nonsense he was using as a justification for his warring. -- [[User:Colin|Colin]]°[[User talk:Colin|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 14:53, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
Hello, I would like to state that I have read all the comments written here and have gotten the message loud and clear. The mistakes I made will not happen ever again.

I think we see that Glenn accepts he has got personally worked-up about reverts by other editors (reverts that nobody here seems to be at all concerned about) and has chosen a method to add some distance. Every single one of the hundreds of thousands of NASA photos on Wikipedia contain a "promotional" link back to NASA.

*'''Weak Oppose''' as not strong enough for an editor who started this with an over-the-top allegation that a content dispute was vandalism.  [[User:Robert McClenon|Robert McClenon]] ([[User talk:Robert McClenon|talk]]) 06:36, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
**Let met get this straight? Someone went to AN/I with an "over-the-top allegation" and you think therefore they should have some arbitrary punishment as a result? Like nobody ever went to AN/I with an "over-the-top allegation" and walked away.
::The accused was [[User:SergeWoodzing]] who was indeed edit warring at [[Disc Jockey]]. Let's remember that Toglenn [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Disc_jockey&diff=prev&oldid=923018735 added a great photo to the lead of an article that did not have a lead photo]. So, he improved Wikipedia.   SergeWoodzing [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Disc_jockey&diff=prev&oldid=923724659 removed] the photo, meaning the article no longer had a lead image. If a IP had done that, we'd have called it vandalism. He made Wikipedia worse. His argument ''"that photo of an unknown person with a caption alleging unsourced info does not belong there"'' has so many fundamental flaws and ignorance about the sourcing requirements for images. When the image was restored, SergeWoodzing [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Disc_jockey&diff=prev&oldid=923811645 posted to the talk page] and immediately [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Disc_jockey&diff=prev&oldid=923811732 removed the lead image] without waiting for agreement or working towards consensus -- he was edit warring plain and simple. Once again the article had no lead image. If an IP had removed the lead image from an article twice in succession, he'd not just be called a vandal but would likely now be blocked. Again Serge makes the ignorant criticism about "caption of info that was unsourced". This got the response "Why in God's name are we having a debate about reliable sources, on whether a person in a picture with giant pink letters saying "DJ Bad Ash", is a person named DJ Bad Ash?" from User:GreenMeansGo. In the argument that followed, Serge then claimed "It is not impossible for a person to pose falsely as a disc jockey". At this point, if this had been an IP, folk would be asking them to stop trolling. Looking at the other edits made, I see they have a particular issue with making spurious citation requirements for female DJs, but not the male DJs. So, really, if we examine Serge's edits in a neutral manner, we may indeed conclude it is a fair assessment that they engaged in vandalism, edit warring and trolling. I think actually they honestly believe they are making WP better but have some really strange ideas about the sourcing requirements for images, and possibly an issue with female DJs.
::Wrt sourcing for images: we adopt an AGF approach if a photographer takes a photo of someone/something and make a claim (filename, file description, caption) that it is indeed the someone/something they claim it to be. Serge would only have needed to do a google image search to confirm what "Bad Ash" looked like. For example, Serge, if someone takes a photo of a flower or mushroom or insect and claims it to be a particular species or variety, we do generally accept that unless someone has a good argument that the claim is unlikely or offers a different description. Very few of our images and captions have any kind of citation/reference that the image really is what the caption says it is. We don't get our images from a professional stock agency. -- [[User:Colin|Colin]]°[[User talk:Colin|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 08:38, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
:::{{u|Colin}}, I'm sorry, but that is ridiculous. Serge is not guilty of vandalism, and you should retract that. You don't agree with his arguments, which is fine. I don't agree with your opinion that the photo was an improvement, which is also fine - we can disagree without accusing each other of vandalism, which is the problem here - Toglenn repeatedly reinstating their pictures at multiple venues without gaining consensus to do so, and making wild accusations of vandalism against people who disagree with them. Please don't let's start carrying those accusations on here.

::::Girth, please take the care to read what I wrote. I did not accuse them of vandalism. I am arguing that a reasonable neutral person examining just the edits and talk page comments could indeed come to the conclusion that he was vandalising the article (repeatedly removing the lead image on spurious grounds), trolling on the talk page, and had a problem with female DJs. I am responding to someone voting that this user must be punished for making "over-the-top allegation" of vandalism. It is, you know, possible to accept another's opinions are "reasonable" without actually agreeing with them. What is a fact is that Serge repeatedly made the article worse and did so by edit warring. Most edit warring situations have two or more guilty parties -- it is quite hard to edit war on one's own. Most of the examples listed above by Levivich, if you actually care to examine them, involve other editors edit warring, reverting without edit-summary, and being unreasonable. -- [[User:Colin|Colin]]°[[User talk:Colin|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 14:19, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
:::::{{u|Colin}}, we'll have to agree to differ on this. I don't think that any reasonable person could see Serge's actions in the way that you do, and I don't agree with your characterisation of the addition, or the subsequent removal, of the photo. Let's remember that it wasn't Serge who first removed it - it was an IP editor, who left an edit summary suggesting that it was promo. Toglenn reinstated it, Serge then removed it again, and Toglenn reinstated it again - already in the full knowledge that ''two'' editors disagreed that it was an improvement. This kind of behaviour is what I am seeking to prevent with the proposed sanction above - if a photo of his is removed, he should discuss it first before knee-jerk edit warring.

::::::[[User:Girth Summit|Girth]] while we can disagree how this user should be dealt with, can you at least accept that Serge was edit warring (twice removed the lead image without consensus). Serge should not be edit warring. Why are we not seeing both editors being equally warned not to edit war? Can you also accept that most articles should have lead images, and Toglenn's image was a perfectly good image of a DJ. So I maintain that his first edit to that article made Wikipedia better. Which part of my "characterisation of the addition" do you disagree on? And when I say Serge made Wikipedia worse by twice removing the lead image from an article, which part of my "characterisation of the removal" do you disagree on? And when I claim Serge's rational was very odd indeed -- suggesting even that the person might be an impostor and that the DJ was "an unknown person". [https://www.google.com/search?q=dj+bad+ash Let me Google that for you]. It seems to me that Serge would rather edit war and add little "citation needed" tags rather than bother to do some Googling and fix it themselves. 
::::::I agree all editors should not edit war. But also that all those caught edit warring should be warned. Why have you not criticised Serge? Do you suggest sanctions every time someone has been found to be edit warring and arrive at AN/I? Even when the person has a clean block log and has never troubled AN/I before? Sanctions are a last resort imposition of authority on another editor when all other means of discussion have failed. To request sanctions, and to continue to request them, even after the person has admitted they got things wrong and proposed a good solution, well that doesn't seem fair at all. -- [[User:Colin|Colin]]°[[User talk:Colin|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 21:04, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
:::::::{{u|Colin}} There's quite a lot there, and I'm on mobile so forgive me if I miss something. So, Toglenn started edit warring before Serge even got involved - and this appears to be standard practise for him - that's my chief concern. When the IP reverted him, he should have hit the talk page. When Serge reverted him, he should definitely have gone there. He's been editing for ten years - he should know that. Yes, we can agree that a lead should have a picture - but it doesn't follow that any picture is better than no picture. Without wanting to get into the content dispute here, there is a disagreement between two good-faith editors about whether the addition of the image was an improvement. After having been reverted twice, the onus is on Toglenn to gain consensus for his image - it's not on Serge to gain consensus for his revert. 
:::::::If this was a one-off, I'd agree that a simple warning was appropriate - but it's not. There is a history of inserting images, being reverted, edit warring, and then resorting to insult and hyperbole. This is the first time it's ended up at ANI, but it's far from the first time they've fallen far short of civility requirements. If Serge also has a history of trolling, gender-biased image preferences, or removal of good lead images, no one has brought that up - that's why I'm inclined towards sanctions for Toglenn, but see no need for them for Serge. 
:::::::And just to reiterate this point - my proposal above hardly constrains the editor at all. It simply requires them to gain consensus if they are reverted, and to use an explanatory edit summary when replacing an image - I mean, that's just good practice, it's hardly an impediment to contributing.

I don't think many editors would respond to an IP edit/revert by striking up a talk page discussion, especially one who's only edit summary was "promo?" which is clearly nonsense. The history log show Troglen improving wikipedia and facing on occasion ''other edit warriors''. You keep forgetting that. The problem I have with your "sanction" is that it is just that. You didn't ask simply that Toglenn be reminded never to edit war over his own pictures and warned that future edit warring may lead to sanctions. You went straight to the option where your (and other's here) authority is used to threaten, intimidate and coerce a weaker player (and Troglen is hugely inexperienced wrt WP editing, talk page discussions, etc, if you just look at the filtered contribs). That is the dictionary definition of bullying. As I said, there is little point arguing with someone who has as clear bias and is only interested in rationalising their actions.

:::Users mistakenly call things vandalism all the time. It's not a good thing, but it's very easy to just think of it interchangeably with "bad edit" or "edit that hurts Wikipedia" until that gets beaten out of one's head. If warned and done repeatedly, sometimes it'll earn a block or a tban for battleground behavior.

* '''Support''' per ROPE etc.  I'm not familiar with the "large numbers of high class photos provided", but happy to accept that, and that it's a net positive. But from examples given here, it's ''not'' universal. And those are a problem, when they're being added against the efforts of other editors. DJ Ash in particular (sorry, that's ''not'' a good illustrative image)
: It's well recognised that we have a problem with the self-promotion of images, often dreadful ones. We also have many cases where there is a surfeit of images, but a lack of good ones. In which case, we have to ''discuss'' which to use, often by first putting forward some criteria on how we're going to select. "It's my own image" should never be part of that.  If a photographer can say, "We had a lack of images showing this aspect, so I went and took one", then that's great. Even if they can objectively claim, "My one is just technically better".  But they should be able to pitch their image and have it chosen by consensus, because it really works better, not just keep shoving it back.

But all that perfect and eloquently written presentation is all in vain when speaking to someone so ignorant, biased, and totally unwilling to understand anything that they don’t want to. Those editors may as well be talking to a wall. 

Girth, It’s not a matter of simply disagreeing with someone’s analysis, it’s a matter of you ignoring and shunning the extremely factual and obvious no matter how many people and how well they explain it to you. 

*'''COMMENT''': I only come onto Wikipedia to post a photo and then leave. I do not come here to argue with anyone, that's the last thing I want to.  The only replys I make are defensive when people start attacking me.  Those defensive replys of mine that people are posting are only posting what I said - they are NOT POSTING the reason I was forced to have to say them. They are not posting what the attacker was doing or saying to provoke me to have to respond. - That's the most important thing - WHY I had to say what I said. 
So the people who are reading the comments and then saying 'support' have no idea what they are doing because they only have half the story and no idea what went on beforehand or why I responded as I did.
Then there are others who just make up stuff out of thin air and call it truth.  
Example #1. From [[User: AnUnnamedUser]] writes (Referring to me) "even going so far as to add the pp-vandalism tag to a non-protected page (pretending to be an admin)"  - This is an outright lie - I have no Idea what a pp-vandalism tag is, or a non-protected page - and would never even think of trying to pretend to be an admin.
Example #2  "His image is not an image of a disc jockey disc jockeying, but of a disc jockey posing for a publicity photograph".  No - It's a real DJ actually DJ-ing at an event as proven on the DJ Talk Page.[[User:Toglenn|Glenn Francis]] ([[User talk:Toglenn|talk]]) 01:20, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
::{{u|Toglenn}}, this is another example of your jumping straight to invective. You say that someone is telling an outright lie. Is it not possible that they have made a mistake about this? Or that you did actually do this once, perhaps even accidentally, and have forgotten doing so? Rather than accusing them of lying, why not ask them to substantiate their claims - {{u|AnUnnamedUser}}, you have said above that Toglenn added a page protection tag to a page inappropriately, but you didn't provide a diff - please do so, or you should retract this claim. As for your second point, whether it's a DJ DJ-ing or a DJ posing for a picture at an event where they also DJed, that's a matter for the ongoing content discussion on the talk page.

:::Hi Girth Summit. You are correct and I thank you. I did not consider that the editor could have made an honest mistake. (I do that all the time). But I'm learning things. It's rare that I go onto talk pages or forums and I'm not a good writer - I hate it actually (that's' why I'd rather just take pictures). Here is the proof that DJ Bad Ash is a real DJ and that my photo was taken while performing at an event an not a publicity stunt. This link was on the DJ Article page but deleted by someone. real. http://www.prphotos.com/store/category.cgi?&category=search&query=%5Eevents%2Esql&q2=4th%20Annual%20%22Team%20Up%20for%20Tourettes%22%20Fundraiser%20%2D%20Arrivals&x-start=0&ps=5&xgrouped=1&results_per_page=100&start=96  Thanks again Girth

'''COMMENT''': In the 12 years or so that I've been posting photos on Wikipedia, I've never had any real problems until I posted a photo on the 'Blond' article that [[User: Girth Summit]] didn't like.

It is vengeance, and should never be tolerated under any circumstances.[[User:Toglenn|Glenn Francis]] ([[User talk:Toglenn|talk]]) 21:04, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
::::{{u|Toglenn}}, hi again - I just noticed that you'd added this. I can't really understand why you think I hate you, or I want vengeance - I'm not even sure what I would want vengeance for, you haven't wronged me in any way. I do feel the need to correct a couple of points you make though.

::::I also don't see why you are describing that discussion as a 'real problem' - it wasn't a heated discussion, nobody insulted anyone, it was just a discussion where you didn't manage to convince people that you were right. You did end up saying that we had [[WP:OWN]] issues, which seemed a bit odd, but other than that it was a reasonably civil discussion. Levivich's diffs above seem to suggest that you have had several much more heated interactions with users before and since that encounter.
::::To make my own position clear, I do not hate you, and I don't want to stop you editing. All I want is for you to stop edit warring over your images (that means reinstating without consensus when people revert you - see [[WP:BRD]] for the process as it's supposed to work), and I'd also like you to stop assuming the worst about other editors, calling them vandals and bullies etc., whenever they disagree with you.

===Proposal 2: Topic ban on adding his own photos on <u>any</u> article here; he can propose an addition on the talk page of the article, but can't add them himself===

*'''Support a topic ban on adding his own photos on <u>any</u> article here''': he can propose an addition on the talk page of the article, but can't add them himself. And the main  reason for that is that I don't agree with the claims by some here that his images are high quality, they're not, instead they're heavily, and crudely, photoshopped, with colours excessively saturated and sloppy sharpening (especially of hair) and softening (some parts of female faces softened, other parts not) in an attempt to hide the fact that most of them are blurry and badly lit (heck, from a technical standpoint even I could do better than that...), so the only use for them I see is in cases where no other pictures of the subject in question are available. -&nbsp;'''Tom'''&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;[[User:Thomas.W|Thomas.W]] [[User talk:Thomas.W|'''''<sup><small> talk</small></sup>''''']] 10:15, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

To [[User:Thomas.W|Thomas.W]]: I did not come here to argue with anyone. But this reckless comment by Tom is so outrageous, so irresponsible, and blatantly false that I have to respond. I'm a press photographer and in addition to that I sell my photos on celebrity photo websites and on stock photo agencies worldwide. Before these photos are accepted and published, they have to pass a very stringent quality control process, and all of mine easily pass. How stringent?  Here's the description on one site I sell on called Alamy 
https://www.alamy.com/contributors/alamy-how-to-pass-qc.pdf 
That said, there are defiantly less than stellar photos in my gallery.  Those were photos that I took between 2005 -2010;  10 - 15 years ago. Digital cameras and software then was not what it is today, and I was in the learning stages of photo editing.  Most of them are still on Wikipedia articles today.  So to look at old photos and proclaim that all ALL my photos are poor quality is highly irresponsible, and inexcusable.  

*'''Oppose''' This is going beyond ridiculous. Topic banning a photographer from adding photographs is akin to topic banning a writer from adding any article text. The evidence is that the vast majority of photographs are added without problem and are warmly received. In the few cases of trouble, other editors are equally to fault. Certainly the example that raised this ([[Disc jockey]]) does not support such a ban, and is more suggestive that User:SergeWoodzing should be examined wrt sanctions. As noted, the photographer has volunteered to let a friend do the Wikipedia editing, so really this whole topic should be closed to stop yet more ridiculous topic ban suggestions sprouting. I agree with Rhododendrites, this stinks. -- [[User:Colin|Colin]]°[[User talk:Colin|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 14:28, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

'''COMMENT''' I see that some editors here have expressed concern that I’ve posted photos on foreign language Wikipedia’s, falsely stating that the reason is for self-promotion. That’s simply not true. This is a recent thing I started brought on by request. 

Contrary to the popular opinion of many Americans, the U.S. is not the only country in the World. I know so many people who live in foreign countries and most are multi-lingual.  Since I started posting to Wikipedia, around 2008, people have been asking me if I could post my photos on their countries Wikipedia’s.  

As far as photos of people are concerned, the vast majority of them on the English Wikipedia are Horrible! It’s much much worse on the foreign Wikipedia’s. Most pages don’t even have photos. I simply give them an image in which they can do whatever they want with it. They can use it, delete it, turn it upside-down, I don’t care – it’s their Wikipedia and they can do with it whatever they want.  The reception has been very positive. 

With the exception of a few editors here who have commented on this thread, this sharing of Images on other Wikipedias is universally considered a good thing, and I receive a whole lot of Thank-yous.

I do not understand why there are actually people who oppose this sharing images for other people to see. Selfishness?  I don’t know – I’m not a Psychologist. I believe the purpose of educational websites such as Wikipedia is to share information, not just locally, but globally.

===Closure?===
I don't know if there's much more to be said in this long thread - it might be good if an uninvolved admin were to close it. FWIW, I still think a TBan as proposed above might be the better way to go, but there also seems to be significant support for a warning as a first step, and I wouldn't contest a closure along those lines. So long as the edit warring and incivility stop, that's all that matters.

I have tried on many occasions to address this and have sent the formal explanation as to what constitutes a minor edit. I reverted changes with which I disagreed and have been reverted with the explanation that my reverts are 'vandalism'. Oddly this is the only edit the editor has made which was explained with anything other than 'minor'. The edits are not terrible but they need to be explained and abuse of the minor edit mark needs to stop.

The user CorbieVreccan ascribes to me words I never said, like suggestion to split the article based on race suggesting that I am a racist, which is personal attack (based on nothing), e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Me_Too_movement&type=revision&diff=924429901&oldid=924318432, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AMe_Too_movement&type=revision&diff=924432202&oldid=919441977, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ASalamandra85&type=revision&diff=924432873&oldid=924431211 . Nevertheless, the user CorbieVreccan is not blocked for that. Also CorbieVreccan writes "this person is so upset" (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AAdministrators%27_noticeboard%2FIncidents&type=revision&diff=924636213&oldid=924635385). And how do they know my state of mind, whether I am upset or just whistleblower calmly watching the Wikipedia rules are obeyed? That could be considered harassment as if I violate something because I am upset. There are many other troubles with what the user CorbieVreccan wrote.

For example, if someone writes about "Impeachment inquiry" for Donald Trump, even on his personal page, that is not a personal attack but the requirement of the not negotiable the most important neutrality rule (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view), and "This policy is non-negotiable, and the principles upon which it is based cannot be superseded by other policies or guidelines, nor by editor consensus.".

The words of Ms. Burke about the movement, "If this grows big, this is going to completely overshadow my work", especially cannot be personal attack as long as that was said by herself. When I said "This is not how neutrality is defined by the Wikipedia rules. Maybe you want a simple and nice picture of the situation. With this you act like Weinstein." (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AMe_Too_movement&type=revision&diff=924609930&oldid=924599548) I meant that Ms. Burke did nothing to deal with that case and those her words was an aid for him and was in fact threatening the movement (e.g., it failed in 2015, as provided by the section in the article, and fortunately succeeded due to efforts of Ms. Milano), and supporting that such viewpoint of Ms. Burke means to support the side of Weinstein, which is obvious and could be even placed in articles' body, or in other words, to act "like" (not "exactly as") Weinstein (covering and/or helping rapes, definitely not raping itself, as clearly follows from the context).

Then the user CorbieVreccan suggested me to edit other articles (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AMe_Too_movement&type=revision&diff=924599548&oldid=924538485). Then I suggested to do the same to them. I mention this just in case if this is supposed to be harassment.

Concerning opinions and original research in talk pages (e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AAdministrators%27_noticeboard%2FIncidents&type=revision&diff=924690573&oldid=924689679, in particular, in relation to some my explanations about the rules in Wikipedia just in case, with which there is nothing wrong), they are definitely allowed there. If I were not following the Wikipedia rules as explained on my talk page, I would just reverted the changes of CorbieVreccan, as they do.

The lead section (in a compact form, btw) of the Me Too movement articles has been existing without troubles until it was edited by Squishyg on Oct 25, 2019 (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Me_Too_movement&type=revision&diff=922967652&oldid=922966902), adding controversial original research, for which a later made minimal necessary corrections. That went yet normally. Then on Nov 1, 2019 CorbieVreccan extensively added original research, violating also the neutrality rule, in the lead section, inflating it, and partly in the article's body (starting from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Me_Too_movement&type=revision&diff=924084881&oldid=924049691). Then I made minimal corrections if CorbieVreccan didn't like the previous compact lead section. At least I can ask for the sources for the extensive original research of CorbieVreccan with "citation needed". But even that was removed too! I added the very basic secondary and other sources fixing the neutrality. All that was reverted by CorbieVreccan on Nov 3, 2019: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Me_Too_movement&type=revision&diff=924429901&oldid=924304268 . Adding one more source by CorbieVreccan (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Me_Too_movement&type=revision&diff=924433583&oldid=924429901) did change nothing because it has nothing to do with "workplace" in relation to Ms. Burke. I saw one source where a "work space" ("They are the survivors of sexual harassment and assault that occur in ordinary work spaces, or schools, churches, homes of friends or family members, or the streets of their neighborhoods.") was mentioned in relation to Ms. Burke, but as one of cases, not "especially in the workplace" as stated now in the lead section without a source confirming that.

Taking all that into account, the user CorbieVreccan demonstrated they are very biased about the article of Me Too movement, including insertion of the biased original research and removal of key points with secondary and other sources, violating the neutrality rule, and that they persisted, I assume bad faith of them, which is why I consider this vandalism (just to mention here) which seems to persist if the user is not blocked.

So I ask to block the user CorbieVreccan at least for months to prevent vandalism, and also the user Bishonen for supporting that, blocking me without a good reason and breaking the rules, and for selective judgment (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ASalamandra85&type=revision&diff=924690020&oldid=924616178 , https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ASalamandra85&type=revision&diff=924690179&oldid=924690020 , https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ASalamandra85&type=revision&diff=924859409&oldid=924690179 together with what is provided here).

:Ridiculous. Salamandra85 is [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=924914726&oldid=924912477&title=Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism now reporting normal editing and admin actions as vandalism].[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism&diff=prev&oldid=924915506] This is clearly a case of  [[WP:NOTHERE]] and [[WP:BATTLE]].

:Something I forgot to mention in the first report: While I'm not certain this is a [[WP:NOLEGALTHREATS|legal threat]] (it's certainly wikilawyering and more chronic misrepresentation of policy), this comment of Salamandra's should probably be noted, as well: '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Me_Too_movement&diff=924538485&oldid=924512769 "(The Wikimedia Foundation) might have to intervene by the law, which is why they write they usually don't do that, but that is possible."]'''

:Not that it deserves to be addressed here, but, if anyone bothered to read that rant above: No one called Salamandra85 a racist. What this user did was insert text stating [[Tarana Burke]]'s founding of #MeToo was specifically to empower "[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Me_Too_movement&diff=prev&oldid=924302076 young women of color]," and then deleted sourced text where Burke says it's also [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Me_Too_movement&diff=924296981&oldid=924290719 "an international movement for justice for marginalized people in marginalized communities."] Then Salamandra85 argued on talk and in further edits that this somehow makes "Burke's movement" a separate one from "[[Alyssa Milano]]'s", so there should be multiple articles, and that Burke should be removed from the lead entirely. This is Salamandra85's opinion, and not supported by the sources. This user's edits show a pattern of a fan of Alyssa Milano, pushing a POV that involves removing or downgrading content about Tarana Burke, who Alyssa Milano et al acknowledge as the founder. Also, I didn't add any new content to the article. The lede was flagged as incomplete, so I moved stable, sourced content from the rest of the article up there to flesh it out, and have since reverted weird OR and attempted POV-pushing from this user.

Editor [[User:SeasSoul|SeasSoul]] is near the 3RR limits at [[Ford Corcel]] (I don't want to push the editor into violating them), refusing to discuss, deleting all messages left on their talk page and generally being unpleasant. I reached out to one of the other editors he is warring with and received this response:
{{quote|Dear Mr. Choppers, you are absolutelly right about SeasSoul: this problem has been going on for a while. Weeks ago, I have asked help for the administrator [[User:MilborneOne|MilborneOne]] who protected [[Fortaleza Airport]] for 2 weeks but at the end of which problems started again. Another well-known administrator, [[User:Jetstreamer|Jetstreamer]] tried to politely intervene but was received with coarse language on his talkpage. Epistulae ad familares also tried to intervene without any success. All notes that were left on SeasSoul talkpage were deleted and all messages left on Fortaleza Airport were disregarded. SeasSoul acts in many places; I am aware of his acts in Brazilian airports articles but apparently his actions go way beyond. In most articles he places new airlines services always without a reference; when they are correct - and most of them are - I just place a citation needed note and let it be. However, in the aviation project, the worst case is Fortaleza Airport: the article needs editing badly but almost any edition that is not according to his will is reverted. That's why we have a charter airline (Sideral) listed without destinations! I suspect but cannot prove that the same person acts under different accounts because similar situations have been found under the nick [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Mateusportuga Mateusportuga] and last year the account [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/CBG17/Archive|CBG17]], which was very active at Fortaleza Airport was blocked indefinetivelly. Not being an administrator and not willing to start an edit war I do not know what to do. I believe, Wikipedia should be made aware of this. ([[User:Brunoptsem|Brunoptsem]])}}

I am not familiar with the other problem editors' styles and cannot say whether SeasSoul is a sockpuppet, but SeasSoul is [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jetstreamer&diff=923490205&oldid=923053756 clearly not] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SeasSoul&diff=prev&oldid=924711324 here] to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=National_Museum_of_Brazil&action=history engage], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SeasSoul&diff=915287966&oldid=915285955 discuss], nor to build a better WP.

Hi there, the administrator *{{User|Diannaa}} has been targeting the pages I've been creating for deletion without even studying to see whether her copyright claims are correct.

When a bot showed that text from my article [[Assyrian-Canadians]] matched text from aina.org, I was told that they owned the copyrighted material and I had all of my edits deleted, with no warning. It turns out that aina.org was plagiarizing the content on their website, and linking to the original article right on the page I referenced, just some slight due diligence would have shown that the statements made regarding aina.org being the copyright holder of the content were false, but the bot's consensus was used as truth.

Next the article [[The Assyrian Tragedy]] was placed for speedy deletion, for apparently violating copyright laws again.. this time I knew the website which wrote the article I copied from had a terms of service stating their material was free to be copied and in the public domain, however this wasn't taken into account by Diannaa before requesting a speedy deletion for the article! A rather rash reaction, for information that was in the public domain, but I was punished before this was even confirmed. 

Perhaps you can see the unfair targetting by Diannaa and maybe place another administrator over my work, that doesn't react before understanding the situation.-[[User:Ramsin93|Ramsin93]] ([[User talk:Ramsin93|talk]]) 22:58, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

::{{ping|Ramsin93}} - can I suggest that it isn't really indicated as targetted harassment - 2 instances, both quite easy actions to have taken. Obviously it's irksome at best to have your content deleted when it's legitimately here (though adding the notice template helps cut down on them) but they've corrected themselves on request both times and aren't pursuing all your other content work. Diannaa is quite an active admin (35th most in the last month), so it would take more than 2 pings to demonstrate targeting. Hopefully the issue won't reoccur.

I have also reached out to {{u|Bradv}} over at [[User talk:Bradv#Can you intervene over at User talk:Dennis Bratland#Kinda bitey reply at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Erica C.

Barnett]] following {{u|Dennis Bratland}}'s concern over my tagging some potentially excessive citations post-my nominating [[Erica C. Barnett]] for deletion. I respect Dennis immensely, his discussion contributions, and editing, but feel that his replies to me have been [[WP:BITE|somewhat bitey]] and he is failing to [[WP:AGF|assume good faith]] by assuming that I would've read many WP policies (which are numerous). When informed by him that I should avoid tagging an article after nominating for AfD, I promptly heeded his suggestion to remove the tags. So, I'm just seeking either {{u|Bradv}} or another administrator to de-escalate the situation, remind Dennis to be [[WP:BITE|less bitey]] and to [[WP:AGF|''always'' assume good faith]], and remind me to update myself on certain policies that Dennis highlighted (i.e., [[WP:BLP]]).

* I've collapsed the discussion, since it's not helping those who only care about whether or not to delete the article. I stand by my complaints of disrupting Wikipedia to prove a point, and gaming the system. We have an AfD nomination that claims ''all'' sources cover the subject only tangentially, yet the very sources that are specifically about the subject are tagged {{tl|refbomb}}. The AfD claims the subject hasn't received significant coverage, yet the refbomb tags seek to suppress multiple sources. It's very hard to interpret that innocently. The claim that the sources are redundant is easily disproved: simply read them and you see that the cited sentences have facts found in one source but not all of them. And THREE footnotes is excessive? Why would any one say that except when they have an ulterior motive? Two handpicked editors are invited by name to join the AfD, one of whom has already !voted delete. Does not look good, does it?<P>Dmehus says they've never read [[WP:BLP]]. Perhaps they are that innocent. But if so, they need to understand how [[WP:POINT]]y and [[WP:GAME|gamey]] this looks. --[[User:Dennis Bratland|Dennis Bratland]] ([[User talk:Dennis Bratland|talk]]) 23:35, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
::Thank you for collapsing the discussion. {{u|Dennis Bratland}}, I realize you have been editing more regularly than me so it may be difficult ''not'' to be at least somewhat cynical, but honestly, I wasn't trying to suppress any sourcing. I was just thinking they'd be helpful reminders to take a second look at some of the duplicative sources to see whether are all ''necessary''. I've seen a number of articles at AfD whereby editors have added multiple sources for the most basic of facts where only one source was needed.

::Nevertheless, I think there were incorrect assumptions made on both our parts. You failed to [[WP:AGF|assume good faith]] in assuming I'd read [[WP:BLP]] (I haven't)—I've read through ''most'' of [[WP:Notability]] and some of [[WP:Citation needed]], but not that one.

::I acknowledge that my nomination statement could've been worded more neutrally and I shouldn't have added those tags, but on the latter point, when you suggested (albeit [[WP:BITE|somewhat bitey]]) I remove them, I did. I do not want this to be antagonistic; you are a strong editor who does good work. You ''may'' be more of an [[WP:INCLUSIONIST|inclusionist]] than my [[WP:DELETIONIST|deletionist]] philosophy, and that's OK.

::Can we move forward quickly and amicably, setting this to bed? I am willing to make ''any'' changes to my AfD nomination statement.

::::{{u|Dennis Bratland}}, I am fine with leaving the collapsed discussion, in which I corrected your second top tag to a bottom tag, or removing it. I will leave it at your discretion.

:Two general notes:
:ANI is more a place for ''escalating'', and not all that good at ''de''escalating. :) 
:XfD is one of the most contentious and policy-heavy areas of the project. It's a venue that has real consequences and can easily lead to bad feelings for those involved. IMO apart from perhaps an arbcom proceeding it is perhaps the ''most'' important place in projectspace to have a solid understanding of the relevant policies and guidelines beforehand, because one would surely run into lots of conflicts and accidentally take up people's time unnecessarily otherwise. Consider this food for thought based on this thread more than a specific comment about the discussions that led to it. :) &mdash; <samp>[[User:Rhododendrites|<span style="font-size:90%;letter-spacing:1px;text-shadow:0px -1px 0px Indigo;">Rhododendrites</span>]] <sup style="font-size:80%;">[[User_talk:Rhododendrites|talk]]</sup></samp> \\ 13:23, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

[[User:Bacondrum]] has repeatedly accused me of being here having an axe to grind. Some of the accusations they used in [[Talk:Call-out_culture]]: "grind an axe about feminists or the alt-right", "attacking Wikipedia for being a leftist conspiracy", " recuse yourself from editing political pages" (nevermind that [[Call-out culture]] is not particularly political), "pushing partisan right-wing politics", "[I] post fringe conspiracy guff". 

They even stalk me around in Wikipedia, looking at my contributions intent to reverting anything they could find, despite the page not being on their radar (eg: [[The Manipulated Man]]).

They first arrived on the scene reverting my change including claims from [[Jonathan Haidt]] in [[Call-out culture]], totally disregarding the consensus of its inclusion in the Talk page.  

I'm afraid they will continue to harrass me. Not that it would stop me from contributing to Wikipedia. Looking at [[User_talk:Bacondrum]] you can see they got recently banned for 2 weeks due to edit warring. Since this user has had a track record of such behaviour, how do you advice that I proceed?

(Note: I was advised to post here by [[User:DeRossitt]] who also wrote that [[User:Bacondrum]] "has a long history of behavioral problems that have been met with increasingly lengthy bans. And they mostly arise from the same few articles.".)

:::{{u|Netherzone}}, the thing to know here is that "rollback" means a couple different things. Twinkle has a rollback function which restores a page to a specific revision (through what I can only assume is a mix of JavaScript and black magic), and anyone can install and use Twinkle. Separately, there's a rollback ''permission'' which does something similar. Confusing, isn't it?

Jokestress, who is open about being [[Andrea James]], has recently resumed editing Wikipedia after a 6.5 year break, and went right to making problematic edits to a transgender related article.

After that case, she left Wikipedia for 6.5 years. I joined Wikipedia during this period, and first learned about the details above while looking into an article of hers that got deleted at AfD.

During this period, she has apparently continued to maintain her [[WP:ADVOCACY|activist]] mentality of bending Wikipedia to a certain POV, the hostile us-against-them approach, and her attitude about [[WP:WINNING]], as evidenced by some of her tweets.

Making a comparison to the "ex-gay movement" is a '''direct violation''' of her topic ban. Additionally, it is clear that the Sexology arbitration case was about transgender issues just as much as sexuality. She was warned about this by two editors on her talk page, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AJokestress&type=revision&diff=924859154&oldid=924762642][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AJokestress&type=revision&diff=924918493&oldid=924905794] but both times she removed it claiming it was being archived, which it wasn't.

:It's been interesting to watch so many productive editors who are sex and gender minorities be brought up on similar charges over the past few years. Look at how many trans editors had to be driven from the project just to get [[deadnaming]] deemed unacceptable. Perhaps it's time to take a hard look at the double standards sex and gender minorities face as editors. My 50,000+ edits and thousands of created articles have stood the test of time, except in cases where Wikipedia was made worse because I and others are unable to respond to people less knowledgeable about the topic, like the removal of [[Transfans]] mentioned above.

*This is a crystal clear violation of the (admittedly relatively old) topic ban.  I was about to explain to Jokestress how she could go about appealing the topic ban, but I get a little confused with the older ArbCom cases.  It appears from the Case page ([[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Sexology#Appeals and modifications]]) that Jokestress could appeal this at [[WP:AE]], [[WP:AN]], or [[WP:ARCA]].  Is that true?  Or since she was directly named in the ArbCom case, does she have to go thru [[WP:ARCA]]?  Also, why isn't this listed at [[WP:EDR]]? Hopefully, someone more expert in ArbCom-ology will chime in soon to explain the particulars.</br>Anyway, {{ping|Jokestress}}, if you want to resume editing in this topic area, you'll need to get the topic ban rescinded.  Sometimes it's better to ask forgiveness than permission, but ArbCom sanctions are generally not one of those times.

*:With the caveat that I'm in no means an expert on ArbCom, my read of the appeals and modifications section is that AN/AE could be used to appeal whether a ''specific action'' should have been sanctioned, whereas ARCA is the place to go to get the TBAN lifted wholesale. The whole thing is confusingly worded - "Important Notes" bullet 3 mentions that "these provisions" don't apply to people directly sanctioned by ArbCom, but isn't particularly clear about what provisions do apply to people directly sanctioned by ArbCom. Anyway, I suggest being bold and heading for ARCA, since one of its listed purposes is {{tq|Requests for amendment are used to: ask for an amendment or extension of existing sanctions (for instance, because the sanctions are ineffective, contain a loophole, or no longer cover a sufficiently wide topic); or '''appeal for the removal of sanctions (including bans)'''.}}  (emphasis mine) <sup><small>[[User:Creffpublic|creffpublic]]</small></sup> <sub style="margin-left:-8ex"><small>a [[User:Creffett|creffett]] franchise</small></sub> ([[User_talk:Creffett|talk to the boss]]) 18:59, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

*'''Reaffirm topic ban for transgender clarification.''' I see no reason this can't be handled here. We clarify or reaffirm topic bans all the time. The sexology case clearly concerned transgender issues as well. And [[human sexuality]] is a broad topic, which significantly overlaps with gender (including transgender) aspects. We have various articles, including [[Transvestic fetishism]], [[Gender variance]] and [[Childhood gender nonconformity]] that show this overlap. Childhood gender nonconformity, for example, very much aligns with an eventual gay, lesbian, or bisexual sexual orientation. [[Prospective studies]] have shown this. Furthermore, even Jokestress's first suggestion at Talk:Detransition shows overlap between sexuality and the transgender topic. But even if one thinks human sexuality doesn't cover detransition, it's still the case that making a comparison to the ex-gay movement, as Jokestress [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Detransition&oldid=924798185#Neutrality_Tag did] at Talk:Detransition, is definitely on the subject of human sexuality, and therefore a topic ban violation. I do not see that, given their views (including on our policies and guidelines) and how they notoriously try to go about getting those views implemented, this editor should be allowed to edit sexual or gender topics. This is a person who considers all [[medicalization]] a bad a thing, and has repeatedly tried to undermine Wikipedia rules such as [[WP:MEDRS]]. I especially don't see how anyone (except for pedophiles, child sexual abusers, and related POV-pushers) can be comfortable letting this person edit pedophilia and child sexual abuse topics. For anyone thinking "that was years ago"? As seen by their off-Wikipedia activity and recent behavior once finally back on Wikipedia, Jokestress has not changed in all of these years. Jokestress has simply behaved the same way off Wikipedia. Because the editor hasn't changed, I expect them to go on about how I'm supposedly the problem, but I stand by what I stated (back in the ArbCom case against this editor and now).

*:{{u|Flyer22 Reborn}}, I understand what you're saying about clarifying/reaffirming topic bans here, but my understanding is that those are almost always community-imposed.

It would be ill-advised given the critical nature of this thread and the non-constructive behavior that lead to it, immediately upon Jokestress's return to the site and to the same topic area.) ArbCom {{em|already}} clarified (in the Fæ ARCA) that "human sexuality" includes transgender issues, which everyone knew already. Trying to skirt that is just [[WP:WIKILAWYER]]ing.

The problem is not with just this one particular change; the problem is with the _pattern_ of such behaviour from this user. In as simple language as possible, I think this user is intent on maintain their political bias in [[Call-out culture]]. Here are the facts I know:

- They once voted for deleting [[Call-out culture]] altogether

- They deleted large portions of text from the page (well from [[Cancel culture]] which now redirects to it).

- They immediately reverted my edit to that page mentioning [[Jonathan Haidt]] (despite my getting consensus about it in the Talk page beforehand).

- They reverted several more edits in that page.

- Currently, I made substantial improvement to the synopsis of the page, which this user is also reverting. Their reasons *never* made sense. This is why I think they are here to maintain their political bias. I may be wrong, but I can't think of any other explanation.

Do you think [[WP:DR]] is the right place? Or is it [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring]]? What can I expect out of it?

:{{u|Sridc}}, Focus on the content, not the contributor. I'm not seeing a big problem with Bacondrum, and they seem to be trying to ensure that the lead of Call-out culture is neutral. Not sure how they can have a political bias surrounding this article...? In terms of dispute resolution, which is what I recommend, there are a variety of mediated discussion types and other ways to get feedback. See my comments at the thread above regarding that.

: {{u|Sridc}} is encountering the same kind of behavior and tendentious editing that got Bacondrum banned several times before, Bacondrum has just gotten a little better at not crossing the clear-cut lines and thus it's harder for uninvolved editors to see how disruptive this editor is.  Bacondrum engages in war-of-attrition style editing, in which they revert reasonable editors' good work, those editors protest, Bacondrum responds with word-salad explanations that misrepresent the situation and misrepresent Wikipedia policy, and Bacondrum ends up succeeding because few editors care enough to stick around for that kind of maddening dispute that goes in circles. After Bacondrum's three or four bans, I had hoped their behavior would be kept under better control. But they never learn.

I feel like not knowing the 3RR and lodging these complaints is a bit like jumping in the deep end without knowing how to swim.

:: {{u|CaptainEek}}, {{u|DeRossitt}}. Unfortunately it didn't take too long for me to open a BRD complaint ([[Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#Call-out_culture]]).

:: {{u|CaptainEek}}, {{u|DeRossitt}} - The reason a new editor [[User:Aquillion]] arrived on scene to revert my edits (which lead me to file a BRD complaint) was because [[User:Bacondrum]] invited them to do so by posting on their talk page. See  [[User_talk:Aquillion#Call_out_culture]]. Here's what Bacondrum wrote to Aquillion: "Hey, the kids at Call-out culture are back at it, adding back in excessive and unreliable sources, again. I'm done fighting the dodgy citations on the page, not by choice, but hey I don't want to get blocked. Would you be interested in casting some uninvolved eyes over the new section?".  Question: is there a Wikipedia policy against such brigading? - [[User:Sridc|Sridc]] ([[User talk:Sridc|talk]]) 00:14, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
:::If you check the date, that message is from months ago, long before this dispute.  I got involved this time because the large amounts of talk and article edits made the page spring up on my watchlist.  In any case, for me the main objection here is sourcing - from my perspective you've been removing good sources and replacing them with worse ones.  I cannot understand why a Forbes contributor piece would be preferable to two peer-reviewed papers, or why you'd want to ''completely rewrite the lead'' around that piece after removing its best sources.  EDIT:  After reviewing the history and the sources a bit more, I'm sort-of feeling like this was just a mix-up - two sources got accidentally placed in the wrong part of the lead, then removed for not being correct for the place where they ended up, then another source was placed where they were originally meant to be and the text was rewritten. --[[User:Aquillion|Aquillion]] ([[User talk:Aquillion|talk]]) 00:17, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

::::: Okay. Yes. Fortunately I get the feeling that you are indeed doing the edits in good faith. I've addressed your latest points in the Talk page, and also went ahead and made a bold change to the intro paragraph. Take a look. I don't appreciate the "reverting as the default" modus operandi. I'd like you to talk about my changes, instead of reverting and expecting me to initiate engagement. It is not like I'm gonna vanish after making a few edits to this article. I signed up in Wikipedia mainly to improve this article! - [[User:Sridc|Sridc]] ([[User talk:Sridc|talk]]) 00:53, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
::::::Your most recent edit is completely unacceptable (Haidt's book takes a position of strident advocacy, meaning it cannot be cited without an in-line citation; nor is it peer reviewed or anything of the sort, making it worse than the sources you replaced); and you still moved down the two academic sources, while rewriting a well-sourced lead with academic sources to random opinion, stated in-line as fact, sourced to a pop-culture book.  Furthermore, by removing the lead ''and'' removing the sources under dispute, you broke the [[WP:3RR]].  Please self-revert and take it to talk.  I get that you object to these sources, and that you really like Haidt's book, but you need to slow down now that it's clear that there's no consensus for your proposed changes. --[[User:Aquillion|Aquillion]] ([[User talk:Aquillion|talk]]) 02:48, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

I've elaborated on this diff in my response to [[User:Nil Einne]] below. - [[User:Sridc|Sridc]] ([[User talk:Sridc|talk]]) 16:08, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

:{{ping|Sridc}} A few points. One what on earth is a "BRD complaint"? This section seems to literally be the entire place in the entirety of Wikipedia where that phrase occurs. [[WP:BRD]] is very good practice, but there's no real noticeboard to file a report on someone not following it. Probably the closest thing is [[WP:ANI]], after discussing it directly with the editor but even then it will need to be more specific than simply not following BRD. Two, if I'm understanding the opening correct, the reason for this second thread Bacondrum is because it was intended for DRN. But this complaint is definitely not the sort of thing suitable for DRN. DRN, as with all forms of [[WP:Dispute resolution]] is intended to be a way to try and resolve a content dispute by good faith discussion, and in the case of DRN, involving another party. It's not intended to be a place to discuss behavioural problems or for complaining about another editor. In all content disputes, editors need to put aside their differences and [[WP:AGF]] that each side is trying to make Wikipedia better based on our policies and guidelines. Also do understand there is no where you can get some other editor to "rule" on a content dispute, nor anyone entitled to do so. The closest that can happen is that an editor can assess a discussion and determine if there is consensus for something. This happens solely based on the discussion and our policies and guidelines, and explicitly not the closing editor's personal analysis of the content. Three, if there is dispute then someone has to initiate discussion. There's often little point worrying too much about who does so. Four, while I've already said I don't believe there is sufficient behavioural problems for ANI from either side, you're definitely not helping us believe you have a point on the other side when you manage to violate something as basic as 3RR. Finally and five, as with others I strongly suggest you focus on resolving the content dispute via the means available e.g. DRN. Hopefully it will be resolved and maybe you'll learn something. As I said before, remember to put aside the behavioural or a belief someone is a "roadblock". [[User:Nil Einne|Nil Einne]] ([[User talk:Nil Einne|talk]]) 15:03, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

They are attribute malicious intent on my part, eg: "Sridc, you can't erase women or feminists from the discussion.". They are intending that I feel shame because I'm doing biased editing, eg: "Shamefully biased editing from you". They accuse me of "blatantly [[WP:CHERRYPICKING]]" (when the fact is that I actually proposed to include the feminist view in the lead in addition to the more prominent viewpoints) and pushing my "own POV" (whereas I'm encouraging the article to stay neutral). They accuse me of being [[WP:NOTHERE]]. They have written twice now that they are "no longer willing to engage with Sridc" - and yet they do continue to cast accusations towards me. You can check the diff for the context of these quotations yourself.

The current version severely damaged the article's neutrality by placing extremely [[WP:UNDUE]] weight on Haidt, and I do not think I could reasonably focus on mediation while the article remains like that. I want to make it clear from the start (so we know whether mediation is feasible or whether it would be better to just go to an [[WP:RFC]]) that citing Haidt in the lead or relying on his definitions without in-line citations is a hard nonstarter for me and that I would never, under any circumstances, agree to any version along those lines unless there's a clear consensus on the talk page supporting it. I know these preconditions might be annoying, but if we can't agree on something that, to me, is so basic then we're better off avoiding dispute-resolution (because it means the fundamental content dispute is irreconcilable) and instead getting more voices involved via an RFC or the like so it's not just a few people at loggerheads. --[[User:Aquillion|Aquillion]] ([[User talk:Aquillion|talk]]) 01:47, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello everyone.

First thing first, let me introduce myself : I'm BetterOfThatWay, an autoconfirmed user for now. Simple right?

* There's this editor I've been fight with since the first day I created my account. Since the first day, we've been in perpetual conflict over basic things but the more time would pass, the more things would get worse to the point where editor made me blow a fuse resulting in me getting blocked for uncivility. I deserved it, not going to lie. I've been used to all these shades this editor has been throwing but today, enough is enough. 

* Today, while surfing on Wikipedia trying to find an edit to improve, I've noticed that I forgot to justify an edit I've made. My bad. The edit in question had been reverted by the editor I'm reporting stating "Unexplained edit swap" but then I reverted the edit but this time, I had given a source but it was the wrong one. After hours of research on finding the source I had found, I gave up and thought that it should be better if we classified the genres of an album by alphabetical order because I've seen other editor doing it, so I thought that it was the right thing to do but that was before Billiekhalidfan decided to revert it once again, making sneaky comments about how I've been blocked before. That is the current situation I have to deal with whenever I edit something on Wikipedia. That is what I open Wikipedia too. Sneaky comments about how I have been blocked before from this same person who has been blocked themselves. You see the irony?
This editor has been engaging in editing wars with me for months not to mention the many times this use played the victim in order to justify their behavior. Whilst I've been blocked and warned threatened many times by editor, this editor has been able to get away from everything they have done or said. 

The problem is that this situation has been going on for months now and I'm reaching breaking point to please ask for peace. I ask for this conflict to he resolved one time for good. If one has to be banned or blocked. Then so be it.

Regards.

{{Ping|:2001:4898:80E8:9:3553:4405:E938:1AE}} I used "dear" as a mark of respect and definitely not to be condescending in any ways. I apologize. But thanks for your "help".

If you didn't notice, that's exactly what I'm trying to do. If only you had tried to give it a deeper look, I guess, you would've seen that I have been trying to stop the stick but it kept coming back to my hands (get it? haha)
I simply returned the insults back to that editor that's been insulting me for months. Instead of giving plain advice it would be nice if you only tried to solve the problem? [[User:BetterOfThatWay|BetterOfThatWay]] ([[User talk:BetterOfThatWay|talk]]) 10:02, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
::{{ping|BetterOfThatWay}} First, I think you misunderstood Someguy1221. I'm fairly sure they were telling you to drop this ANI thread since it's not likely to go anywhere good for you, see [[WP:BOOMERANG]]. Anyway, I don't see how you can claim you are trying to drop whatever it is and move on, when your most recent edits are telling an editor to "GET A JOB" and "it's hard when dealing with special specimen like you (trust me, it's  not meant in a good way)"[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Billiekhalidfan&diff=prev&oldid=925124718] followed by all you posted here at ANI. When your own behaviour is so poor this doesn't lead me to believe it's worth knowing in detail what the problem is. I suggest you stop the insults, no matter if the other editor is also insulting you and focus on resolving your disputes via methods of dispute resolution you said you've already read about. Considering how few of your recent edits have been to article talk pages, it's difficult to believe you're properly following any decent form of dispute resolution. And I'd note that all forms of dispute resolution entail more than you and the other editor being involved when you cannot resolve it by yourselves. Therefore it's not possible for the dispute to only involve you and another editor if you're following some form of dispute resolution, unless people find your dispute so pointless that no one can be bothered to get involved. I'd also note that if you misrepresenting what sources say, then that's likely a big part of the problem, whatever mistakes someone else is making. BTW, when I wrote nearly all of the above, I was unaware of your recent block and the concerns expressed. Whatever mistakes the other editor has madem you can see even without being aware of any of that, your recent behaviour is simply a terrible look. You cannot fault another editor for you telling them to "GET A JOB" or calling them a "special specimen like you".

:{{u|BetterOfThatWay}}, I didn't see ''any'' negative interaction on the part of the editor whom you brought to [[WP:ANI|ANI]] per your # 65 source. In fact, regarding music genres, the reason "rap music" redirects to "hip hop music" is because it is a ''reference'' for the preferred term—hip hop music. Thus, ''hip hop music'' should be used. Could he or she have explained it better? Yes, but it's pretty tame. [[User:Dmehus|Doug Mehus]] ([[User talk:Dmehus|talk]]) 16:07, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

{{Ping|Nil Einne}} So wait you're telling me that I should not respond when I get insulted? Sure sir, sure. 
Secondly, you're being so caught up in your own damn opinion and focusing on my behavior (which has been pretty poor) that the point of this thread literally '' ' fleeeeew over your head' ''. Your majesty, you literally missed the whole point. You're not even realizing that 
I created this thread in order to help resolving the actual conflict that's been lasting for almost 4 months now. Not to get the other editor blocked or banned or even bash them. Understand that for God's sake. But as I can see your help and opinion had been everything but helpful in resolving this issue. If it happens again, don't pretend to be SHOCKED. AND YES! When making assumptions, at least verify that you're correct. When I was telling the editor to "get a job", I was making reference to the actual meme where the caption says "Stay away from her, get a job" that's it. Assumptions gets you nowhere, dear. [[User:BetterOfThatWay|BetterOfThatWay]] ([[User talk:BetterOfThatWay|talk]])
:{{u|BetterOfThatWay}}, I would strongly advise '''against''' you referring to {{u|Nil Einne}} as "your majesty" and, subsequently, to "dear". The former is a pejorative/derogatory usage on its ''own'', but paired with ''dear'', that confirms your ''dear'' reference is also pejorative/derogatory. I can appreciate how unsettling this, but if you're not willing to take the target user to [[WP:DR|Dispute Resolution]], with a mediator, who may or may not recommend taking this again to [[WP:ANI]] where an interaction ban ''may'' be recommended, then all I can say is where I see this heading and it ''could'' be to an editor or an administrator recommending a temporary ban of some sort of yourself. If that happens, I would strongly encourage you to review [[WP:BLOCKING]] and ensure you do not try to circumvent any potential ban (i.e., by creating [[WP:SOCKPUPPET|multiple accounts]]) in the future as that only makes things worse.--[[User:Dmehus|Doug Mehus]] ([[User talk:Dmehus|talk]]) 17:06, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
:'So wait you're telling me that I should not respond when I get insulted? Sure sir, sure' Yes, that is exactly what you should do. We're mature people who generally ignore others that wish to be a pest. Those people that do insult others often get sanctions when brought attention to by others. What you've done here is bring attention to your own bad behaviour just as much as the other user's. In honesty, the repeated attempts to tell both of you to [[WP:STICK|drop the stick]] wasn't people telling you that the other editor's behaviour is unacceptable, it was telling you that BOTH of your behaviours weren't acceptable. Additionally, becoming aggressive or sarcastic with people here isn't exactly going to win you any favours. As respectfully as I can say it, and as many others have said to you before, retract this report, ignore all further interaction with the other editor and return to contributing. -[[User:Yeetcetera|<span style="font-family:courier; color:purple; text-shadow:lightblue 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em;">Yeetcetera</span>]] <sub> [[User talk:Yeetcetera|<span style="font-family:monospace: color:Black">''@me bro''</span>]]</sub> 17:20, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

I already explain in the talk page why is a substantial reason to change, sytemic bias in Wikipedia is a problem and the reasons for their reverts, when they gave one, were opinions, which is POV.

=== Reductio ad Nationalismus ===

I recommend either a topic ban for everything related to Turkey, broadly construed, or a complete site ban as per [[WP:NOTHERE]] for [[User:Jeppiz|Jeppiz]], who continues to threaten actual contributors and fails to discuss in civilized and logical manner. Wikipedia is not some place that you can get someone banned after you lose an argument and get upset. I believe this website was created solely for information, not emotional anger. You possibly cannot be truly mad at someone wasting his time here to provide quality information regarding history and genetics. Speaking of the things that this user accused me of, I didn't say "due to feelings "towards Turkish people", I said "due to feelings "towards science or Turkish people". Because both are possible. Speaking of that discussion in Turkification page, I was only reverting vandalism done by him so I possibly cannot be at fault here. I was told to take the matter to the discussion page and all I got was short replies which indicated that the user didn't read any post that I made there and continues to threaten me. And about the irredentism post, I believe the user failed to read what the person wrote. Because it was him who accused us of being irredentist first. And I believe the user refuses to engage in a civilized argument with me. Speaking of the Armenian genocide, I just wanted the picture to go and didn't say anything about removing the content altogether. And obviously, there is a difference between "died" and "were killed" since most Armenians died of diseases and hunger, not by Ottoman bullets.

{{userlinks|Boeing720}} has decided that he simply must violate our [[WP:BLP]] policy to "expose" the father of [[Greta Thunberg]]. While [[Greta Thunberg]] could be considered a public figure, her father clearly is not.

I find the continued attempts to imply that Greta Thunberg has psychiatric issues caused by her father to be especially egregious, yet he repeated the implication after his block expired.

At this point it is clear that Boeing720 is on a crusade to [[WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS|right great wrongs]] and has no intention of ceasing his behavior. Further warnings or short blocks are unlikely to have any effect. We could try a topic ban -- I am 99% sure that he will violate it, but we could try.

::If he was posting this sort of thing on some obscure page I would have limited myself to diffs, but because all of the above has already been posted on the ''very'' visible [[User talk:Jimbo Wales]] and because Boeing720 has repeatedly failed to understand or acknowledge warnings, I felt it to be worthwhile to add the extra information.

*'''Topic ban''' I'd been watching this unfold on Jimbo's talk, and had hoped that 4 admins telling Boeing they were in the wrong would do it. But I guess not. Boeing does not seem to understand why they are wrong (which if they're reading: you keep adding unsourced controversial information about a living person. Even if its just on a talk page, BLP violations aren't ok anywhere on the site. You are adding conspiracy and fringe theories about non-famous living people, which does our readers, the public, and the person a disservice). Also, for the life of me I cannot understand the obsession with Cullen's sig? Discussion is not a license to break policy. Cullen, and several other people, have explained that very well. I think a topic ban on Greta Thunberg broadly construed would be good.

Their talk page history is full of warnings for just about every kind of violation of the rules here that anyone can make, including NPOV- and BLP-violations, and repeated warnings for unsourced additions and using both articles and article talk pages as forums.

{{cot|Contents of User:DIYeditor/Boeing720}}
To be as polite as humanly possible, Boeing720 is the most stunning CIR case and [[Dunning-Kruger effect]] example I have encountered bar none. Any attempt to correct thinking errors or behavior results in a response that there is no problem, that the error is not an error, that the user is highly competent, and a lengthy teeth-pulling process of walking through the situation many, many times, often with the same problem recurring weeks later as if no memory of the prior discussions exist.

I must admit my own failing at the end of this to be completely civil. I am exasperated with Boeing720 and have reached the point that I think it is not possible to work with him. I do not believe any warnings or communication of the issues will actually be effective and that the user will ‘’inevitably’’ come back with the same problems as if nothing has transpired. This user previously reported himself to ANI with an end result being a closure “before he gets himself blocked” or something to that effect.

These examples I provided originally in his self-report to ANI but they bear re-examination:
*I first encountered Boeing720 on [[C (programming language)]] while cleaning up[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=C_(programming_language)&diff=789576173&oldid=789574677] a series of edits he was making. The bad grammar made the sentences nearly indecipherable and for example one reference offered was literally "This was stated by a computer and high skilled Swedish programmer at university level, by 2001". Also on a technical level the knowledge presented was very rudimentary, superfluous to the article, and sometimes wrong.
*Subsequently I kept and eye out and these[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hans_Christian_Andersen&diff=792639713&oldid=791803965][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Link%C3%B6pings_FF&diff=791564179&oldid=791556724] are typical of the kind of corrections that are necessary to every major article edit Boeing720 makes.
*Explaining[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Register_(keyword)&diff=790999811&oldid=790990973][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:The_Putin_Interviews&diff=801522945&oldid=801519621] patiently in detail what the grammatical and sourcing problems are has never had any effect, he argues past the point, often asserts his expertise, becomes aggravated and most problematically: continues making the same mistakes.
*For examples of the conversations see [[Talk:Register (keyword)]], [[Talk:C (programming language)/Archive 16#Recent edits]], [[User talk:Boeing720/Archive 4#Unsourced opinions/commentary]] (and the section above it) and [[Wikipedia:No original research/Noticeboard/Archive 39#Report myself, OR (?)]].

Since that time:
*[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fanny_and_Alexander&type=revision&diff=805666710&oldid=799555637 Inserts] POV/OR film summary and watching advice in [[Fanny and Alexander]].
*He created highly POV/OR film description at [[Grisjakten]] after being painstakingly informed about POV and OR in film summaries re: [[The Putin Interviews]], the subject of the self-reported ANI, and in other discussions for example the above.
*I struggle to explain a persistent grammatical problem that had been corrected previously several times, user denies typing what he had typed (common behavior), and arguing over whether it is appropriate to use Google Translate as a dictionary vs. a proper Swedish-English dictionary at [[User talk:DIYeditor/Archive 1#"annual rings" was the words - had nothing to do with "anniversaries”]]

*And the finale, the CIR situation that broke this camel’s back. Boeing 720 had [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Register_(keyword)&oldid=789830519 created] a very weak [[Register (C programming language)]] to try to give some kind of programming advice about [[Turbo C]], a discontinued and essentially antique compiler, and has argued tooth and nail (see talk page) about it being [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Register_%28keyword%29&type=revision&diff=790480961&oldid=790208449 updated] to offer a more modern and universal perspective. Which is fine, difference of perspective/opinion right? Well now he is back with a ridiculous (those familiar with C will understand why) [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Register_%28keyword%29&type=revision&diff=824879814&oldid=814808430 code example] that he feels proves optimization doesn’t render “register” obsolete. This is after we established that a similar example of his programming at [[Talk:C (programming language)#Example]] was not fit for the encyclopedia. Then perhaps the most stubborn, tedious and absurd dispute yet ensues at [[Talk:Register (keyword)#Example disproves]] wherein he gets absolutely everything wrong, repeatedly, and in painful ways, before declaring victory. 

Unfortunately reading through all that to catch the nuances of these encounters is as tedious as dealing with this user has been, and this is not an exhaustive accounting of the situation. That said, I think a careful review of these repeated issues will reveal that a warning would not be adequate.

This is not a two-sided issue and an interaction ban would be damaging to the project because Boeing720’s activities need to be countered. It is not possible to work with this user, and despite him being here to build an encyclopedia and operating in good faith, I am asking for an indefinite block at this point.

This school IP range had a 1-year block expire in September. Since then, it's been used to make about 120 edits, with, by my rough count, fewer than five constructive. I'd take this to AIV, but something has always felt a little bit ... off ... about blocking 32768 addresses without an archived discussion. Anyway, perhaps another block is needed?

This user joined Wikipedia with the intention to undermine Assyrian related article, presumably due to some personal views. 

His user page says: "working against Assyrian propaganda"

And he is taking to discussion on the [[Assyrian Genocide]] talk page, trying to push personal opinion on how Assyrians should be refered to as "Arameans" in the article, with no scholarly reference or any reference for that matter to back it up. Can you please prevent this user from editing on Assyrian related Pages? They've clearly stated their intention to "Work against Assyrian propaganda" which entails carrying personal opinion and confirmation biases throughout their editing work.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Ramsin93|Ramsin93]] ([[User talk:Ramsin93#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ramsin93|contribs]]) 17:16, 8 November 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

His first edit was vandalism, which was immediately reverted: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Assyrian_people_footer&oldid=924828912

Editor [[User:TFBCT1|TFBCT1]] has for years been knowingly and flagrantly using unreliable sources or sources deemed inadequate by the community for inclusion (from before 110th birthday, over 1 year old, no specific date of birth) at [[List of the oldest living people]], [[Oldest people]], and elsewhere. This has been explained to them many times, but they refuse to change their behavior, which has flared up again in the last few days as is seen in the first three difs.

The source for Eugenia Zuniga Jeldres was from before she turned 110, which the community has long deemed invalid as proof of being a supercentenarian, and Maria Vivaldelli was added with a link to a longevity fan website.

It's clear from years of evidence that TFBCT1 has no interest in changing their behavior and will continue to flagrantly ignore Wikipedia polices, such as [[WP:V]], and long-established consensus in their pursuit of including any entry they want listed. They will also continue their personal attacks (the latest saying I have [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AList_of_the_oldest_living_people&type=revision&diff=924393057&oldid=924386319 OCD]) and habitual habit of making maintaining these lists far harder then it needs to be for other editors.

::All issues identified by Newshunter12 were except the few current ones on the List of the oldest living people summarily closed without incident or cause.  He is trying to re-hash old occurrences that have no current relevance.  I'm going to be very specific as to the current situation.  In the past Newshunter12 had been the one to add new individuals to the List of oldest living people.  In recent months he stopped doing this, so I put my time and efforts into taking up this task.  I added nearly 25 entries in recent weeks.  Newshunter12 showed back up again after a long absence and removed seven entries from this list. This resulted in a bout of edit warring on the page due to dissent with his decisions(which I was not a part of). Of the seven removed four had been added by me.  (2) of the cases were "good faith errors" on my part.  Newshunter12 then proceeded to open a talk page discussion entitled "sourcing issues" which the main purpose was to defame and attack me and accuse me of doing something deliberate.  The posting was so inflammatory that another editor warned me via my talk page that I was being threatened by Newshunter12.  So I proceeded to respond. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:TFBCT1|TFBCT1]] ([[User talk:TFBCT1#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/TFBCT1|contribs]]) 17:44, 5 November 2019 (UTC)</small>
{{Od}}
I have never done anything knowingly, deliberately, or maliciously to undermine Wikipedia.  I have been tirelessly editing the longevity pages for over 15 years probably with more dedication than any other editor.  I feel very disrespected by Newshunter12.  I do make mistakes, but no editor should be attacked in this manner especially when investing substantial amounts of their time and energy.  Newshunter12 and I do have different visions of Wikipedia, he sees things more in "black and white," I like other editors see some areas open for interpretation.  He is rarely willing to compromise and not just with me, but with any editor.  This idea of "always having to be right" does not work well on Wikipedia.{{Pb}} One last note, I find it very inappropriate for Newshunter12 to incessantly mention the "constant death threats" he receives on Wikipedia, not only on talk pages, but also, within page histories. And to accuse this person or that person of being the certain "troll" perpetuating these threats. This type of personal drama has no place on Wikipedia.{{Pb}} I'm sorry I'm not able to provide you with specific links, diffs etc..  I'm not a young person and I'm not computer savvy.

:: My above difs and statements speak for themselves about what the truth is and isn't, but I think it's worth mentioning that, "The posting was so inflammatory that another editor warned me via my talk page that I was being threatened by Newshunter12" was done by the very IP troll who has been stalking me since last year, not some concerned onlooker horrified by horrible Newshunter12's actions.

The second instance occurred on the talk page for List of living supercentenarians on 3 November 2019 under heading “sourcing issues” where Newshunter12 proceeded to attack and threaten me as the main topic of the discussion which was just not justified.  I was notified on my talk page by another editor that I was being threatened by Newshunter12. I also want to clarify that all this talk about me adding someone prior to their 110th birthday (and doing this knowingly).  Yes, I read the date in reverse mm/dd/yyyy, instead of dd/mm/yyyy and I made a “good faith” error.  Nothing deliberate.

This is not the intended purpose of a talk page and was inflammatory enough for another editor to warn me I was being threatened on my talk page.  I also don’t know what the collusion between Newshunter12 and The Blade of Northern Lights is, but if you notice every time Newshunter12 posts, The Blade posts 2-3 minutes later with some affirmative response.  I don’t know this second editor, nor have I ever worked with him.  I am confused why he would say he is “obviously involved.”  His mention of adding random “I heard it somewhere names” has absolutely nothing to do with me or this case.

I think that there is a rule and neutrality violation here due to majority of the users having a POV. I've explained this to the users but stopped getting replies and wonder what an admin will think of this. The issue is about the infobox of the article and the inclusion of US and China. I think there is a neutrality violation, both US and China provided the same amount of support to the each side per sources, yet the talk page users insist that only China should be included, I think this violates [[WP:DEM]]. US congress has passed a bill supporting the HK protesters per source and China has verbally supported the HK Gov. Currently China is included under supported per the verbal support but US has been removed due to users commenting "Symbolic Support". Could use some insight, thanks.

* {{userlinks|Wumbolo}}

Wumbolo was topic banned first from [[Andy Ngo]] and related people and then, on 24 July 2019, from post-1932 US politics and related people ([[Wikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log]]). Wumbolo "retired" and made only two edits between then and 5 November, bot to his user talk page. 

Since 5 November Wumbolo has made 50 edits. The articles concerned are [[Lana Lokteff]] (a white supremacist), [[Amy Robach]] (involved in the Epstein story), [[Little Saint James, U.S. Virgin Islands]] (Epstein's island), [[Great Saint James, U.S. Virgin Islands]] (the island next door to Epstein's), [[Quillette]] (the magazine most closely associated with Andy Ngo) and then edits at [[WP:RFAR]] and elsewhere around {{u|Drmies}}' [[WP:SALT]]ing of an article squarelty within the ambit of US politics.

Based on this, the exemplary {{u|Future Perfect at Sunrise}} imposed a perfectly proper block of 1 week per arbitration enforcement. Given that close to 100% of the edits made by Wumbolo since returning from "retirement" after a topic ban are violations of that ban, I can't help feeling that we may want to consider extending that somewhat. '''[[user:JzG|Guy]]''' <small>([[user talk:JzG|help!]])</small> 21:33, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
* '''Comment.''' I've obviously been trying to keep the lowest of low profiles since coming back, but I do need chime in here since I would prefer not to lose Wumbolo as an editor. I also feel bad for the guy because I did recently encourage him privately he should consider ending his retirement. I genuinely think that Wumbolo was expecting to be told when a violation occurred by his editing rather than (in reality) the burden to comply being on him. Looking at [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement/Archive254#Wumbolo|his topic ban]] <s>(which needs to be logged on an unrelated note btw)</s>, it wasn't a "broadly construed" matter but just like the US politics. The proper action might be to give him a [[WP:ROPE|final warning]] and say upfront that future edits to any topic related to the Jeffrey Epstein matter are strictly prohibited. <br />Fut.Perf's block is still good, though. Wumbolo needs to cool down for a bit, and [[Special:Permalink/925399304|withdrawing the arbcom case request]] is a good first step to that. The week-long block probably finally got through to him. &ndash;<span style="font-family:CG Times">[[User:MJL|<span style="color:black">MJL</span>]]&thinsp;[[User talk:MJL|‐'''Talk'''‐]]<sup>[[WP:WikiProject Connecticut|☖]]</sup></span> 22:06, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

* It will need to be an indefinite block. My biggest concern is that Wumbolo is showing significant divergence from what we would consider sensible, decent and proportionate under our biographies of living persons policy, additionally they show a gap in their understanding of the page protection policy and a refusal to concede that they have erred in their interpretation of that policy, finally, we have their repeated violations of their topic bans which simply cannot be allowed to go unaddressed. I would be in favour of allowing an appeal after 6 to 12 months, allowing the indefinite block to be reduced to the length of finite block we would generally be looking at for the numerous topic ban breaches we're witnessing in any case. [[User:Nick|Nick]] ([[User talk:Nick|talk]]) 22:14, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

* (ec x 3 or 4) I second Guy's motion. Not only has Wumbolo repeatedly violated his topic ban, but this latest incident involved repeated attempts to add something to the encyclopedia which would be a severe BLP violation. It appears he tried to create an article about the person, and finding that the name was salted, complained about the salting first at ANI and then at AE. To me that by itself was blockable, on top of his repeated and deliberate violations of the TBAN. TBANs only work if they are respected. And sorry, MJO, but a person under TBAN should not expect babysitters or stalkers to follow him around, evaluating whether his edits comply or not. You say you would be sorry to lose him as an editor, but virtually EVERYTHING he has done since coming back from retirement was editing he was not supposed to be doing. I'm thinking this may be a straightforward enough matter to resolve via admin consensus here at ANI, without needing ArbCom's elaborate deliberative process. -- [[User:MelanieN|MelanieN]] ([[User talk:MelanieN|talk]]) 22:16, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
* Actually, he first demanded at RFPP that the title be unsalted, then four minutes later on Drmies' talkpage, then did the same on my talkpage when I removed the post. After that, ANI, where he at least didn't repeat the person's name, then RFARB. I dealt with it as BLP violation, rather than a topic ban breach, as I don't maintain a list of editors under restrictions in my head. Now that I see the full extent of Wumbolo's topic ban violations, along with the scorched-earth accusations against anyone who dares to confront him, I think a longer block is called for. A BLP topic ban would be advisable as well.

Given the American political scandal that this name is attached to, I expect this trend to continue.

[[Talk:Tiger versus lion]] might be one of the most tedious walls of text I've witnessed on Wikipedia. In recent days the article and talkpage have become a free-fire zone that has led me to fully protect the article for a day just to stop the rapid-fire reverts and arguing.  I've blocked <s>one</s> two editors for attempted outing and aspersions - and the editor who is the target of the aspersions and outing used to be named "Eichman Heydrich" ... Little of this behavior is new to the article, it's been like this for its entire history, and it's probably the biggest original research offender in the encyclopedia. Short of blocking everybody who's edited the article for the last week for edit-warring, I'm at a loss about what to do with the article and the editing environment. Suggestions are welcome, up to and including nuking it all from orbit.

*Yes, I just scanned the talk page and immediately ran headfirst into a wall. Plus, one of the accounts outed the other there, too, in several places.

*Its the worst article and equally worst talk page on Wikipedia. It’s survived multiple AfDs by some miracle. The solution to this article and its problems is deletion.

****Somehow, {{u|Acroterion}}, and not for lack of effort on your part, some of the outing is still encased in a rant there. These guys know ''a lot'' about lions and tigers, fighting.

********<small>I propose we change the article to say {{talk quote|Based on extensive scientific analysis, it has been proven beyond and shred of doubt that in any hypothetical or real fight between a [[tiger]] and a [[lion]], the tiger will win. This applies even if it is a badly injured and starving tiger [[cub]] the size of a [[domestic cat]] and the biggest most dangerous lion that has ever existed. In fact, it has been demonstrated that even a single such tiger cub will be able to defeat the 100 most dangerous lions cooperating in a reasonable fashion. (Not in the "Mook Chivalry" style of fighting made famous as a [[TV trope]] where a group will generally engage with a single person one at a time.)}} We then ask the WMF to permanently superprotect the article and talk page and archives, and for good measure add an edit filter forbidding any edit mentioning tiger and lion in the same edit.

*The article's a complete joke, a mess of bulletlists of random stuff. Here's an excerpt:
*:{{tq|According to the Gettysburg Compiler and The Baltimore Sun (1899), towards the end of the 19th century in India, the Gaekwad of Baroda, that is Sayajirao III,[76][77] arranged a fight in an amphitheater, between a Barbary lion called 'Atlas', from the Atlas Mountains between Algeria and Morocco, and a man-eating Bengal tiger from the Indian region of Shimla, both large and hungry (with their diets reduced before the fight), before an audience of thousands, instead of between an Indian lion and the tiger, as Indian lions were believed to be no match for Bengal tigers.[b] The tiger was more than 10 feet (3.0 metres) long, over 4 feet (120 centimetres) feet at the shoulder, had strong shoulders and long teeth and claws, and was agile. The lion looked taller at the head than the tiger, and had a large mane, legs and paws. The tiger was seen as "the personification of graceful strength and supple energy," whereas the lion was seen as the "embodiment of massive power and adamantine muscle".[64] In the fight, both cats sustained injuries, and although the tiger sometimes retreated from Atlas, it would come back to fight it, and in the end, managed to scratch Atlas to death, though Atlas pushed it off in one final move before dying. The Gaekwad agreed to pay 37,000 rupees, accepted that the tiger was the "King of the Cat Family," decreed that Atlas' body be given a Royal burial, and that the tiger should have a "cage of honour" in the menagerie of Baroda, and decided to prepare the tiger for a battle with a Sierran grizzly bear weighing more than 1,500 lb (680 kilograms). The battle was to happen after the tiger recovered from its wounds.}}{{pb}}That the article's authors are able pass such nonsense on to our readers with a straight face implies a possible CIR problem. We even have an article [[Atlas_the_Barbary_lion_versus_the_Bengal_tiger_of_Simla]] reporting this idiocy as straight fact.

*:::It's not beyond belief that something like this happened, but we almost always treat 19C newspapers as primary sources because their idea of what constituted fact was, um, somewhat loose -- sort of like Fox News today. If our only source is Mr. Smith telling the ''Gettysburg Compiler'' about some letters he got from Major Somebody relating an alleged eyewitness account, and there's no modern source commenting on the story's veracity, we don't repeat it, certainly not in the breathless detail seen in the article just linked ({{tq|Round One ... Round Two ... Round Three ...}}), and we ''certainly'' don't base an entire article on it.

*{{u|Acroterion}} The [[Tiger versus lion]] should be kept, and is of encyclopedic value. Its probably one of the biggest animal vs animal debate, and the animals are so evenly matched that it is in itself very controversial and opinionated (even the so called "experts" and "zoologists" have questionable opinions which may demean the whole article, though), so keeping neutrality is key just to show both sides. This wiki article is probably the most balanced out of most tiger versus lion sites, and is the first thing that comes up when you look up lion versus tiger, so its stupid to delete, everybody sees this, also at a minimum gets 30k views per month. Its just some fanboys want to push a one sided view point, and to prevent that you can just protect the article so no crazy fanboys can just edit without being experienced on wiki to be able to know the policies and how it works (unlike deftred), there is no new information regarding tiger versus lion anyways.

*:The article's stupidity begins with its title; what does it even mean??? And please, after you tell us what it means, tell us which reliable sources inform us about it? Hint: 19th-century newspaper articles, and interviews with circus promoter Clyde Beatty, are ''not'' reliable sources about the natural history of lions and tigers.

===Top talk pages===
* While the top cat title is disputed, we have excellent statistics about the comparative sizes of talk pages and so we can be quite definite about the largest.  [[Talk:tiger versus lion]] is only 370K and that's including its archives, which go back seven years.  The latest section is just 13K and so that's just a scratch on this scale and this section in ANI is about the same size.  These numbers are quite small compared to the record holders which measure in megabytes, not mere K.  Here's a [[Wikipedia:Database_reports/Talk_pages_by_size|fresh list of the top 300]].  Notice that while ''Talk:tiger versus lion'' doesn't make the list, ''User talk:Acroterion'' does with a weighty 6.5 Mb.  But even that is well short of the record in its class.  Anyway, to put this matter in proportion, here's a list of the top 10 talk pages in mainspace.  The talk pages in other name spaces are even larger and ANI isn't in the list because it's technically not a talk page.
