The Market Technicians Association edit history and an IP address search suggest that 65.9.234.169 is the same user as 72.153.201.174. I explained my edits and tried to engage the user on the respective article talk pages[10] [11] [12], and on the user's own talk page[13]. Some of his edits are harmless, but a full review of the edits to the articles in question shows POV, lack of sources to controversial edits, personal criticisms of people by name, plus the unexplained removal of relevant information and links in the articles. Thanks for your attention to this matter. --Rgfolsom 20:04, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- Only three diffs given for each article; need four reverts for 3RR vio. Also, these diffs appear to include several consecutive edits, which would count as one revert per 3RR. Looking at the article histories suggests mainly consecutive edits. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 23:40, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

I gave him a friendly warning on the talk page last night.[19]
NB he also seems to on three reverts for United States, but declares he'll come back tomorrow and revert again.[20]
Comment We are discussing the issue, throughout which the reporter has failed to suggest worthwhile editions and is counterproductive, and the last edit was insinuated anonymously (which is curious given the position of this editor). As well, the last edit rectified other POV changes regarding 'America'. And, yes, I shall return. Corticopia 21:10, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- Not sure what you mean by that, Corticopia. Anyway, I'm not convinced the second diff given is actually a revert; seems more like a tweak, as in the edit summary. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 03:35, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- The reverts of "here" (supposedly for being "unencyclopedic syntax"), of "that" (for "the") and the reinstation of the un-needed wikilink to "region" are all consistent reverts. Yes, I know these reverts are petty. But it's an obstacle to coming up with a sentence that is clear enough that it doesn't endlessly raise problems. You can see the discussion on the talk page where I try to seek a contrstructive solution to the problem, only to face his reverts and (as above) commentary which is often scarcely intelligible. --jbmurray (talk|contribs) 05:02, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- The original content editions are petty, and for not what: if these editions were enhancements, we wouldn't be having this discussion. But jbm's editions are confused/-ing: 'here above all' (unencyclopedic syntax which really makes no sense), substituting 'the' for 'that' (petty nonsense), and dewikifying 'region' from the lead (which flies in the face of the Manual of Style) all demonstrate that. My last edit/diff, H, was meant to rectify a number of changes from an anonymous IP, above all the uncommon reckoning of the Americas in English as just 'America' (one continent). And jbm's discourse is anything but constructive: for example, on the talk page, I offered to substitute the current definition in LA with one from a reputable source (with the intent of sourcing it), with jbm insinuating that I would plagiarise. Anyhow, the above is one veiled ad hominem argument, which I won't otherwise deal with: apropos, I am compelled to completely avoid this editor hereafter, but will nonetheless edit as needed within the norms of Wikiquette.

Your resulting disruption and sh*t-kicking herein aside, I can only assume that you are retaliating as a result of your abortive move of America and (amidst that) straw poll (where I and others challenged you and prevailed) and for being challenged for removing (with others) a reputable citation from the lead for United States (with your cited reasons being wholly misguided).

- It should be noted that I attempted to write down a compromised edit, which I believe is fair for both sides. Good friend100 02:33, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
I don't understand why you cannot cooperate with others. "Tributary relations occurred on and off until the 7th century" is fair to both sides. I don't understand why everything has to be your way. Good friend100 02:40, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- There was never a compromise that was accepted (and that "compromise" addition is not just limited to Gaogouli). It should be noted that Good friend100 had been criticized by various other editors for his lack of understanding on the subject [28] [29]. Despite this, Good friend100 continued to revert back to his edits containing false information (e.g. tributary relations ended in 106 CE - a date he has now changed to 7th century CE, after being proved wrong). Assault11 03:32, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- I don't want to bring the argument here. However, I would like to point out that your first edit to wikipedia clearly shows your POV manner and your unwillingness to compromise. Good friend100 19:20, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- As for the 3RR, this illustrates your attitude completely--I have little interest in this particular article, I don't think I've ever edited it, but you constantly use the fact that you are reverting "to the right version" as a justification for breaking 3RR. It isn't. Until you're blocked, you just keep reverting until someone forces you to take a break and cool down. —LactoseTIT 19:37, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I guess your right, LactoseTI. We should simply leave the article alone. Good friend100 19:46, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- Didn't it just get unprotected? I guess they were trying to stop this edit war, but it just started up immediately after unprotection. —LactoseTIT 19:47, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- LactoseTI, do you want me blocked that bad? Trying to rub in more evidence doesn't really make a difference. The point is that I got reported. As for Assault11, I believe that he is at fault to because of his obvious POV and his stubborness. Don't you think that too, Lactose, after reading his first edit (link above)? Good friend100 19:56, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
For any admins looking in on this - take a look at the Talk page, I've been trying to have the two editors come to a compromise. I personally have no preference on the content of their dispute, and I'm not going to comment on these 3RR violations. And while I do think both editors have been pretty insistent on their edits, I do think Good friend100 has been more compromising in the last day or two. The current text that they've just edit-warred on is already a step away from what Good friend100 would like to have. I left a note in the Talk page asking Assault11 what problems he saw with the current proposed compromise, but he has not replied yet, and instead chose to revert the text.

Comment This user has not appear to have previously been formally warned regarding 3RR. This diff shows that it is commented he might be in breach of 3RR but, and despite the edit summary, there is no mention of the possible consequences or a demand that he stop. I realise that warnings are a courtesy and editors are expected to know and abide by the rules, and that 3RR should be acted upon promptly, but I am a little concerned that User:Avfnx has been previously accused of sockpuppetry (cleared by checkuser), has had warnings for civility and personal attacks - the first of which is WP:KETTLE and the second of which I could find no evidence of in English (I cannot comment on Spanish remarks) - all levelled by individuals with whom he is in dispute with on Dominican Republic. I have a suspicion that some individuals are using admins and WP policies to conduct a campaign against this editor instead of attempting to resolve the dispute over the article in a more appropriate forum.LessHeard vanU 20:51, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

- 2nd revert: 16:49, 9 June 2007 - restores sentence "House demolition has been used in an on-again-off-again fashion by the Israeli government during the al-Aqsa Intifada." (this sentence was in this prev version)- labeled as a "restore" in the edit summary

- 4th revert: 17:41, 9 June 2007 - as above, again restores both the above sentences, and labeled as a revert in the edit summary
The first two reverts are unrelated (two separate almost back-to-back edits restoring content Isarig has deleted as part of his on-going edit warring on that article), meaning this is actually only three reverts. Isarig, meanwhile, has been revert warring over that article for a while, to push his particular POV. Raul654 18:11, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- As an admin, you must surely be aware that 3rr refers to ANY 3 reverts, they do not have to be the same or related. I appreciate you honesty in admitting that both of these are in fact reverts. A break from editing this article will do you good. Isarig 18:16, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- Holy smokes, you removed objective, factually correct content. I restored it using two edits. You continued removing it, despite multiple people on the talk page disagreeing with you. You are POV pushing on that article, and your edits have made it objectively wrong. This listing is ridiculous. Raul654 18:18, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- What you are describing above is a content dispute, in which you, too, have removed well sourced information in at least 2 of your reverts. "I restored it using two edits" is another way of syaing I twice reverted you. You are not above the law, no matter how long you have been editing here- 3RR applies to admins as well as to non admin editors. I duly warned you about it, you acknowledged on my talk page that you made 3 reverts, and then proceeded to revert a 4th time. There is nothing ridiculous about this listing, except the ludicrous claim, below, that there are only 3 reverts here. Isarig 23:30, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) A 3RR violation occurs when four reverts have been made, not three. Raul is not a longtime edit warrior, so there is no reason to think he's gaming the system attempting to "max out" on the three allotted reverts. There's no violation here. -- tariqabjotu 18:22, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Editor has been blocked three times for 3RR several times in the past month. It is true that the four reverts are outside 24 hours by 7 minutes, but this is clear gamesmanship. Consider this in tandem with the other report of 3RR filed today on the same editor (6 reports or so above this one). Editor evidently doing this on multiple articles--on that one he seems to have clearly broken it, here he tried to game the system.
- Ok, I edited all the articles in good faith. I changed "Takeshima" to "Liancourt Rocks" because that is the name of the article. It isn't fair to use Takeshima while blocking out Dokdo.
- I don't think I have been engaging in a blatant edit war. Also, could you explain what you mean by "gamesmanship"? I feel really bad how you keep attacking me with reports and filing one that does not have 3 reverts in one day. These edits were simply to make the gallery section better. Good friend100 20:15, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- The map actually says Takeshima on it, it's not blocking. Anyway, hitting your 3RR limit day and again, and then waiting until just outside 24 hours to make your 4th revert so as to avoid violating 3RR is not allowed. This is what I meant by gamesmanship. —LactoseTIT 20:26, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

I didn't wait 24 hours to make my 4th edit. That was purely coincidence. I don't play around with the time to make reverts and edits. I don't play at that kind of a level.
And I still feel that "Takeshima" should not be used. Now I know why melonbarmonster keeps tagging you with warnings. You and other editors simply cannot take anything that you don't like. When a change you don't like is done (regardless of good faith or bad faith), you revert the edits without explanation and don't explain on the talk page of the edit warring persists. I feel that you are not treating each editor in an NPOV way. Even when Assault11 clearly is POV and makes rude comments, you don't even care. When melonbarmonster asks you to stop stalking, you simply make a sarcastic comment that he should file a report against you.
I don't feel that I am the only one at fault. There is more than just edit warring going on and if you are trying to show that I am the bad seed, then your wrong. There is enough damage done to both sides. Good friend100 20:35, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

- Consider both editors to be warned. Editwarring only ends up in one of two scenarios: either you get dinged for 3RR, oir the article gets protected. If you cannot find common ground and edit the article, please follow the dispute resolution process. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 03:50, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

- Keeps whitewashing various descriptions; for example, removing statements Tawana Brawley's charges were fabricated, that John Walker Lindh was a convicted terrorist, that Yvonne Ridley had been kidnapped by the Taliban, and that Mike Tyson is a convicted rapist. On the fifth revert, unfixed some wording improvements that had to be reverted again by another editor. Will no doubt claim that the 5th revert was a "self-revert", but it was a bit too late, he'd already been reverted, and merely ended up reverting some new edits. Is now using various bogus claims to excuse himself. User:Bless sins is well aware of 3RR as his block log [39] indicates he has been blocked for edit warring before, and he has reported others for 3RR on this board, as recently as this week.
- As predicted, he's shown up pretending his reverts are not reverts. Once someone else has reverted you, it's a bit too late to claim to be "self-reverting". Jayjg (talk) 23:19, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Firstly, even if I did make four reverts, I self reverted my last revert to avoid a breach of 3rr in accordance with Wikipedia:Three-revert_rule#I_have_violated_3RR._What_do_I_do.3F. I declared that this revert was self-revert. [40]
The first revert is true. That can be considered a revert.
The second revert is not at all a revert. Please note the difference between my alleged "Previous version reverted to" and "2nd revert". [41] The main difference is that I replaced a dead link with a better one, and also added another notable person.
Please note the difference between my alleged "Previous version reverted to" and "3rd revert". The difference is the same as above.[42]
The difference between "Previous version reverted to" and "4th revert", are even larger. In my fourth "reversion" I add two more notable persons to the list, and conduct some other minor edits.[43]
The allegation that the fifth is a revert (to be counted in 3rr) is ridiculous. That is a self-revert, as I declared in my edit summary. [44]
Thanks.Bless sins 23:13, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- WP:3rr#I_have_violated_3RR._What_do_I_do.3F says "In general, this should be enough to prevent you from being blocked, although there are no guarantees." It says nothing about when it is too late to self-revert. Also, Jayjg, can you make your comments immediately below the previous comment. Thanks.Bless sins 23:31, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
I cannot speak strongly for or against this user. Him and I have reached compromises concerning content, and he does contribute some good information, biased motivations or not.
However, the edit-warring is a fact, although I wouldn't count the 5th revert- he clearly reverted to Prester John's edit, which is not the version he preferred; therefore, I'm inclined to believe he did intend a self-rv. Concerning the others, I really can't say. Rules are rules, of course.
If a real complaint is to be drawn, the issue of whitewashing is certainly one of them. One can claim NPOV, but when a convicted terrorist becomes a 'soldier' and kidnapped woman's kidnapping is erased from her description, POV is an issue, but it is the one altering who is applying the POV problem.
I must now defend Bless sins. As I've said, he and I have compromised over content. This may be underplayed by some, but to me, it means quite a bit. Additionally, Bless sins is not the only user with a preference for 'whitewashed' descriptions- I fear that there should be some resolution over the language used so that everyone can learn to be reasonably satisfied with the descriptions.
A reasonable compromise over content will hopefully prevent the need for these Admin notices in the future.--C.Logan 00:27, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

- Here is the 3RR report against Matt57, which unfortunately led to page protection rather than a block. Matt57 is one of the worst reverters I've seen in a long time, and in fact I recently had to take the page off my watchlist in part because trying to deal with him is too frustrating. I hope whoever looks at this report will bear that context in mind. SlimVirgin (talk) 22:23, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

- SlimVirgin, really well. Looks who's talking? You being an administrator should show better editing behavior. You reverted 3 times in less than hour for this same article: 14:53,15:15,15:19. The fact that you are an administrator and reverted 3 times in less than 60 minutes should have rationally earned you a good block. Administrators should technically be held to higher standards that common users. You should leave better examples for other users on this website. In addition you have also personally attacked people by calling them. I dont beleive that you are a good example of an administrator here. Other users have also had problems with you (I can supply the diffs for that but this case is about Xiao t). As for my report, I do agree I cruised past the 3RR, that was an overlook on my part. Even that should not happen. One should not edit to just avoid 3RR (like you did in those 60 minutes when you reverted 3 times). That is troublesome tendentious editing. Maybe you're upset that I didnt let Mr. J. Hasan's opinions and picture (a non-notable graduate assistant) back in the Islamophobia article. --Matt57 (talk•contribs) 22:41, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- I've provided the diff above which shows the first revert of Xiao t was a revert, i.e. undoing the actions of another editor. Also you should know who you are defending. This is most likely a user who was blocked indef for trolling. --Matt57 (talk•contribs) 22:53, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- You've posted all this before in multiple locations. The bottom line is that you're a bad editor, a knee-jerk reverter, and you're out to attack Islam or Muslims. You didn't "cruise past" 3RR in the report against you, you violated it. And the report above isn't an obvious 3RR violation. The diff you give as the version reverted to doesn't show the removal of the Malik passage; it shows only that it was moved, so far as I can tell. Please supply a diff showing clearly that it had been removed before. SlimVirgin (talk) 23:34, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

- SlimVirgin, you really are crossing lines with me here regarding CIVIL, by calling me a knee jerk reverter and a bad editor. Do you want to be called those things too? No. Is it good to revert 3 times in less than 60 minutes like you did? No. Please dont call me a knee-jerk reverter then. Its a good thing that everything we say gets saved on this website. Regarding the first RV: As I showed, Kenan had been added back by another editor before the same day. Xiao removed it 4 times. If thats not a 3RR, what is? In any case I've fixed the proof above where Xiao had deleted the same text before and editors had restored it 2 times before.

Wikipedia's not a platform for Muslim bashing. SlimVirgin (talk) 00:32, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
- SlimVirgin, perhaps that was due to your reverting once every 10 minutes (14:53,15:15,15:19)? Did you forget that? Dont threaten me with ArbCom, alright? Join me there and I'll tell the committee that your revert rate is once every 10 minutes. Plus, I'll tell them that you called me a bad editor, a knee jerk-reverter and you called me and others as "anti-Islamic". All these are personal attacks. You freely violate policies or border on violations. This is your pattern.

- The first edit is a straightforward revert. Then he gets crafty; he "re-organizes" the article, moving material from Yossi Klein Halevi to the top of a section, moving material from David Aaronovitch up, and inserting headers for different countries.15:59, 11 June 2007 The subsequent 3 reverts continue to revert to this format, but each time with tiny changes to the text, so as to game the 3RR rule. He has been editing Wikipedia for a year and a half, and is well aware of the rules, which is why he is so good at trying to game them. Jayjg (talk) 23:34, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

This editor knows WP:3RR quite well and has been blocked for 3RR and edit warring in the past. This occurrence is an AfD - the "offending" comment that this editor is removing is in relation to his motives for !voting on the AfD. He believes he can remove it because it is a personal attack. Firstly there is no personal attack and secondly as the comment is not libellous his claim that he has immunity from WP:3RR is incorrect. I had warned the editor in my edit summaries that he was about to breach WP:3RR if he reverted again. Then he stated here that he was immune and didn’t care. I'll say no more.--Vintagekits 19:00, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

SlimVirgin again engaging in edit-warring. Second report ([77]) in a short period - pattern of gaming 3RR and pushing past its limits. These rules should apply to admins as well as anyone else and these are clear reverts ("in whole or in part"). User unwilling to engage in discussion on talk page, repeatedly threatens administrative action for "dirsuption" over obvious content/policy dispute, praises[78] personal attacks by her friends, etc. etc. Are admins immune to 3RR violations and other rules?
I really am trying desperately hard to work with her and resolve these issues on the talk page but am meeting a brick wall. I took a cooling off period and came back a few days later only to be met with the same reversion of my additions to the article within minutes. I feel very bad about the animosity that has arisen, would like to find some solution, however this persistent edit warring needs to be addressed in and of itself.

- Editor has been blocked repeatedly for 3RR in the past few weeks on similar articles. Several reports above illustate further edit warring behavior.
- Not convinced the third revert really counts: it reverts an edit from several days ago, and can be seen as consecutive with the immediately previous revert, even though there's an edit in between. But, given how the editor has been blocked three times in the last month for 3RR vios and has been reported for near-vios several times since; I'd say it's time for a block for edit warring, regardless of whether there's a technical vio. One week. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 18:11, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

This user seems intent on pushing POV that article's subject is anti-Catholic without appropriate references and has deleted work from other editors who tried to include the verifiable parts in question. Seems like it's all or nothing and very disruptive. First encouraged user to use talk page (rather than just edit warring) and reasoned dialog seems to be getting nowhere. My goal is a better article, user's goal seems otherwise.

- 1, 2, 4 are all removing the supreme court paragraph and inserting the section on anti-Catholicism. 3 is removal of the paragraph only; 5 isn't reverting anything. As the Version reverted to was not filled in, 1 must count as that version. This still leaves 2, 3, 4 for removal of the supreme court paragraph for 3 reverts, and two reverts on adding the Catholic section. Valid block for edit warring; as "3RR is not an entitlement" or however its phrased. Was there a "version reverted to prior to this? (checking myself, brb) KillerChihuahua?!? 22:56, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, the previous version which had the same edits was 00:04, 12 June 2007 as well as I can determine. Can someone else verify that? Adding diff where it was removed here KillerChihuahua?!? 23:00, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- And my final post for this, unless there are questions for me, specifically: the old version reverted to had the Catholic section, but also had the supreme court paragraph. In other words, he's gone 3 reverts on the Catholic section, and 3 reverts on the supreme court paragraph, which is SFAICT not technically violating 3RR, but he's been around long enough to know that he's edit warring. That's counting awfully close. I would be ok with reversing the block, or with letting it stand. And I would much appreciate someone else checking this, because we now have two findings on this 3RR report, and they do not agree. KillerChihuahua?!? 23:08, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

- I would not be in a position to take any administrative action with regard to Str1977, as he is a personal friend. However, having stated that, I'd like to point out that the first revert is completely outside the 24-hour period. The fifth revert doesn't seem to be a revert at all, but even if it were, it's worth noting that it's the very next edit after the fourth revert; nobody had edited in between. Therefore, he could have done the two edits in one go, by doing a full page edit instead of two separate sections. It is standard practice not to count consecutive edits as separate reverts, even if they are both technically reverts. So what we have is three reverts within a 24-hour period. It is also worth noting that in the same period, he made eighteen edits to the talk page. Some were just modifications rather than new posts, but there were about fifteen individual posts — more than came from Benjiboi, who has also been reverting. I would suggest an unblock, but I admit that it's a suggestion coming from a friend of the blocked user, rather than a neutral review from an uninvolved administrator.

- I nomed Str1977 as I felt they were knowingly being disruptive and I personally didn't want to be violating 3rr myself. I feel the article should be reverted back to where it was prior to Str1977's deletions and replacing the press release quote. Str1977 only used the talk page after prompted and continued to revert even after concerns were spelled out several times (politely). I'm not wed to the user getting 3rr'd but wanted to bring an end to the edit warring. As is the article is much worse for the process and the talk page seems a tad immature instead of healthy dialog. I'm glad it's stopped for the moment but am concerned about how constructive future edits will be if there is someone simply waiting in the wings to revert them. Benjiboi 00:07, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

- Actually I was avoiding an edit war and consistently tried to refocus the many talk page posts to lead to constructively editing the article. The article has been left with the reverted section in despite being removed quite a few times in the past by myself and others and if you look at it [112] you'll (hopefully) see why it had been tagged POV and removed several times. Str1977 added it back in repeatedly and apparently should have known better. Benjiboi 00:44, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

- I have a dynamic IP, so I can't help that it changes every so often without my wanting it to. The only reason this user is reporting a suggested 3RR violation on the page in question is because I've removed a great deal of improperly referenced content he added to another article. And with respect to the Chicano rap article, I'm doing the same thing. I think we can all agree that adding references (which support content added), is important, I'm simply asking that people include proper sources for their additions (and that's not happening). Look at my track record, everything I do is in good faith and I spend a massive amount of time explaining my edits in painstaking detail on talk pages. 74.230.195.78 06:15, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

This user is insisting on removing the phrase "poorly-managed vegan diet" to "poorly managed diet", thus obfuscating the lede paragraph of the article. Skinwalker 18:28, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- This was a hard one for me to decide, since the fourth revert is not an exact revert, and as it seems Migospia did try to get input on the talk page before introducing this edit. But as it does in fact have the effect of reverting to the same material to which others have objected, and as Migospia should not have been edit warring up to three reverts in the first place (having been blocked for 3RR in the past), I am blocking for 18 hours.

- Previous version reverted to: 17 June 2007
The dispute is about the claim made in the article by Sosomk, that Russian economic embargo caused inflation in Georgia. In its October 2006 report the International Monetary Fund has given a totally different reason for the inflation, what I have cited on the talk page: [144]. I have given other references too. When Sosomk failed to provide sources for his statement it was tagged. Sosomk removed the tag calling it vandalism (He has routinely used the term in reference to other users edits, and on occasion he was given an explanation by an administrator [145]). After being blocked several times over the article, and being warned by several administrators, Sosomk remains incivil as ever [146] [147], [148]. User:Alaexis has initiated this Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#User:Sosomk against Sosomk. Please (also) consider the case under 3RR. Tamokk 06:01, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- Another incivility [149]. Note the Georgian text, which the addressee apparently can not understand, and which I will not translate here. Tamokk 06:14, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- This does not appear to be a violation of the 3RR; you have only listed two reverts and you need four. -- tariqabjotu 13:36, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- Conversely, just because someone has not violated the 3RR does not mean that they will not be blocked. Revert warring is disruptive, and the 3RR is not an entitlement to three 'free' reverts per day. Could you please reconsider the case under this? The reverts are very disruptive, and Sosomk has a long history of Revert warring and incivil conduct over the article. Tamokk 01:14, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I assume good faith, but this user has problems with Wikipedia:Ownership_of_articles. Although there is no vandalism and the editions made by other users were necesssary for the article, user is reverting everything back to his own edition. Ironicly, after few hours, he added what he reverted. This kind of beaviour, prevents any new information addet to article by other users, discourages anyone editing the page and also violates the 3RRV. SONSAVASCI 16:46, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Comment Hello. I recently boldly embarked to improve the country locator maps for European countries in Wikipedia. To date, there has only been minor resistance; most prominently, the user above has provided a wealth of criticism at that article (which is not at all bad) and I am considering it. Others have either been indifferent or have asserted support for prior or current maps. However, throughout, Krator has invoked policy and makes recommendations, while contravening them: for instance, Krator first asks me if he can revert; after I responded, Krator then reverts anyway (supposedly, consistent with WP:BRD). Then, inconsistent with BRD, Krator's 2nd and 4th reverts preceded my responses to them. Quizimodo 16:51, 18 June 2007 (UTC) As well, two administrators have since admonished Krator for this edit warring: [154] [155]. Quizimodo 17:41, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- Krator has been warned about this a couple times since the latest revert, as you noted in your explanation. Thus, there is no reason to block him; blocks are supposed to be preventative, not punitive. As for you... edit-warring to force another party to violate the 3RR is not good. You do not need to revert four times in 24 hours to be blocked for edit-warring; if I had blocked Krator (as I was about to), I would have blocked you too. -- tariqabjotu 17:48, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- Note that I am not forcing anyone to do anything: Krator's compulsion is his/her own affair. And, rest assured, I would have appealed any inappropriate block. Quizimodo 17:52, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- The point of the 3RR is to stop people from edit-warring. Were it not for your edits to the Netherlands article, there would have been no way for Krator to make four reverts in 24 hours (not even two). To block Krator for edit-warring when you were doing the exact same thing (except with the benefit that Krator reverted before you, and thus stayed one revert ahead of you) would be entirely unfair. I've done it multiple times before in response to 3RR notices made here, and I have never seen it overturned even though most blockees post an unblock request. You may have been the first, but we'll never know. -- tariqabjotu 18:01, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, that's the point -- and your inaction and rationale are disappointing. I have been discussing throughout in good faith, and posted this report since Krator's behaviour -- who, without consensus, is the only editor to revert me at Netherlands, sometimes pre-emptively -- clearly called for it. As well, Krator was called to account by two administrators for this (like at the incident board, the thread of which he initiated): I have not been. Your reasoning seems more an evasion of responsibility and almost a call for editors to not edit Wikipedia at all: were it not for my edits in this instance, nothing would occur. Maybe we'll never know, but thanks for helping to waste my time. Quizimodo 19:05, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

- OK. Those aren't diffs, but old versions of the page. I count that I've made 3 overlapping reverts today: here, here, and here. I'll be the first to admit that's too many, and I'm willing to revert myself if I've made a 4th revert, but I can't identify one and diffs have not been supplied above.
- That said, I'd note that Peroxisome (talk · contribs) is removing well-sourced, previously stable content from a controversial article without discussion on the talk page, and without even the courtesy of an edit summary. Lest this seem to be ignorance, note that I politely requested he discuss his proposed changes on the talk page (given his desire to remove large chunks of well-sourced content). He responded by blanking my comment, along with some other unflattering ones, and continuing to revert without discussion. I'm not excusing the fact that I've probably over-reverted here, but I find it hard to assume good faith given the above, and given Peroxisome's previous history as an edit warrior. That said, if there's actually a diff where I've reverted a fourth time, I'll happily self-revert - I've looked, and I can't find one. MastCell Talk 23:42, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
In an effort to help out, here's what I think peroxisome meant to list as the diffs. (I've changed version links to diffs, adjusted the times by an hour, and reversed the ordering):
- 1st revert: 00:23, 18 June 2007
- 2nd revert: 00:25, 18 June 2007

- The first three diffs are sequential, so shouldn't be counted as separate reversions in my opinion:
- 1st three diffs: 00:29, 18 June 2007
MastCell has a long history of reverting on the steven_milloy page; this includes acting in concert with others to suppress cited information, put in wrong information, all with perfunctory attention to giving reason in edits. See the discussion page for numerous examples of MastCell refusing to communicate. MastCell has made at least 6 reverts on the 18th. My apologies, but I don't know what a diff is, or how to use these. Peroxisome 01:12, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the diffs. If you need help creating them, see WP:DIFF. I'll go ahead and revert myself, in the interest of resolving this. Nonetheless, I don't think you should interpret that as condoning your actions; you're removing sourced content without even an edit summary explaining your edits. I asked you to discuss your edits on the talk page, which is how these things are usually resolved - and you blanked the request and kept on reverting without discussion. Accusing me of "refusing to communicate", given the diffs I've supplied above, is ridiculous. MastCell Talk 01:55, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- Well, now I'm not sure what to do. The edit war has continued, and my edits are now buried, so reverting myself doesn't make sense. I'm happy to do whatever makes sense to resolve this; in any case, I don't plan on editing the article for a few days, and plan to concentrate on the talk page instead.

This user is pushing a false nationality upon the Bernard Manning article. He was warned of 3RR (at 18:45, 19 June 2007), and references were added to try to stop him, but he's continued.
- 1st revert: Revision as of 11:40, 19 June 2007 (misleading Edit Summary)
- 2nd revert: Revision as of 17:53, 19 June 2007 (Edit summary claims a false policy)

- 4th revert: Revision as of 18:35, 19 June 2007

- 7th revert: Revision as of 19:08, 19 June 2007 (as previous version - no compromise, and still POV)
- I would ask the relevant admin to look deeply into this. It was not 7 simply reverts. Another editor, SqueakBox, tried a comprimse, one that I was happy with. However, User:Jhamez84 and another have totally ignored this. They ignored other articles which use English, Welsh etc, and insisted on his POV (he admits on user page to being "proud to be British", meaning then insisting on "British" is POV). And the "references", newspaper articles. They hardly decide nationality. I'm sure I could find one to stay "English". They prove nothing. --UpDown 20:52, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- I have protected the article. Please note, however, that both UpDown and Jhamez84 violated the 3RR. -- tariqabjotu 22:20, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- No, I have not. I've reverted the article to the same effect three times. The other times I was reverting out a different issue. I think that's a weak decision by the admin frankly - someone violates the rules, I go to the trouble of reporting it and you take no action against him? What's the point of this page then?? I'm sticking to guidelines by referencing articles, working with editors, working to policy and for what I wonder. Jhamez84 23:29, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- Action was taken; the article has been protected. Note, from WP:BLOCK, The purpose of blocking is prevention, not punishment. The duration of blocks should thus be related to the likelihood of a user repeating inappropriate behaviour. It is currently impossible for UpDown (and you) to make any more reverts to the article, so steps toward prevention have been taken. Also, you did violate the 3RR: (i) 19 June, 17:56 (UTC), (ii) 18:24 (UTC), (iii) 18:43 (UTC), (iv) 20:14 (UTC). Note, from WP:3RR, An editor does not have to perform the same revert on a page more than three times to breach this rule; all reverts made by an editor on a particular page within a 24 hour period are counted. -- tariqabjotu 23:50, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

- Sorry, I did not know about consequtive changes. I thought my renaming of article did not really restored any of the older versions. Thanks. Biophys 19:45, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

User has now been blocked three times for edit warring, disruptive behaviour and 3RR vios, most recently on June 4, when he was blocked for 48 hours.
Currently, the user is insisting on his own version of the Anal sex page, specifically the one paragraph indicated in the diff above. Since June 16 he has made at least 7 full or partial reversions to the page. His most recent (linked above) occurred during an ongoing discussion of that particular paragraph on the article talk page. The two versions of the paragraph contain identical information, but the user prefers his own version to the good faith rewrite I did to improve clarity, brevity and encyclopaedic tone.

- Discuss on the talk page. If you like I can protect the article. He has not vioalted the WP:3RR. Next time you report here please provide diffs of reverions and times they occured. Thanks! -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 20:25, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- Diffs added. Please check them. Discussion on the talk page has proved fruitless. Is this behaviour to be allowed to continue unabated? Exploding Boy 20:32, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- Last I checked, today was the 19th and it is almost the end of the 19th. Why are you providing diffs from 24 hours ago and even days ago? I will not retroactivly block for that. He has not been edit warring today over this article do not report him for past infractions. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 20:33, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
I added them to show that he has a history of edit warring on this page. The fact that the last time he reverted was yesterday is irrelevant. He's continuing the exact behaviour of reverting without discussion or explanation. Allowing some time to pass before making exactly the same reverts still doesn't mean it's not edit warring. How long will this be allowed to continue, exactly? Exploding Boy 20:36, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- At the time of the report, he was not in violation of the WP:3RR. He had not reverted an article more than three times in the last 24 hours. I know he has a history of past violations but I need to see eviednce of a current violation. You did not even list any diffs for today? I know what they are so it is not necessary he has only made 2 edits in the past 24 hours to this article. I have protected it anyways to give it time to cool down. Discuss on the talk page or what not. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 20:41, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

- 4th revert: 21:24 19 Jun
The previous version was moved to Heat (thermodynamics), he kept inserting a redirect to that page, effectively reverting to that version.
Given his repeated reversion without meaningful discussion at several pages, including this one, Heat (disambiguation), Heat (thermodynamics), and Thermal energy, he clearly has broken the spirit of 3RR if not the letter. I made these changes yesterday expecting a discussion over several days or weeks, not a revert war; there was no pressing need to revert as I had not removed any information.
Also, the merge of Heat (thermodynamics) and Thermal energy was first proposed by another user here, not by me as ScienceApologist implied in his edit summary. The way, the truth, and the light 21:44, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- I have blocked ScienceApologist (talk · contribs) for twenty-four hours, per the evidence above. I have also blocked The way, the truth, and the light (talk · contribs) for seventy-two hours for edit-warring on Heat and Thermal energy; he has been blocked three times before and he was also being disruptive at Anal sex. -- tariqabjotu 22:05, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I've also started a discussion on the article Talk page for protection of the article. I think page protection would be a better solution given the recent edit history of the article. --Ronz 23:59, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Clerk note: I've closed this as a stale case. Even though Timeshifter editwarred, they afterwards did the immediate steps to cool down, by starting a discussion. Timeshifter was, most likely, not aware of the 3RR rule, as his warning came between the fourth and fifth revert. I commend both Timeshifter and Ronz for starting a discussion on the article talkpage. Evilclown93(talk) 12:21, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

- There's a lot of edit-warring going on, and allegations of sockpuppetry are also mixed it. It's better just to protect the article. -- tariqabjotu 00:12, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- My nth reverts were to an obvious sock puppet account as you can see here accounts were created today and the only "contribution" was to engage in the revert war. I think it is up to 5 accounts now. [168] [169] VartanM requested the page to be protected to end further revert warring. Hetoum I 00:20, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

- 1st revert 13:05 -- "Correction of POV: removing illustration of erroneous analysis of cadential six-four in the absence of an illustration of the correct analysis"
- 2nd revert 22:32 -- "Removal again of incorrect image. No proper technical argument for keeping this appears on the talk page"
- 3rd revert 22:41 -- "rv bloody-minded action"
- 4th revert 01:03 -- "Incorrect privileging of one viewpoint: it's going to mediation"
- Also two more suspicious reverts from an otherwise little used IP referring to the Tony1's talk page comments:
- Longtime editor but with a lot of great edits, but having significant disagreements about a particular piece of music terminology (called I64) trying to remove it from articles. Page protection (yes, even in the "wrong" version :) might be better than just blocking, since I'd rather this not escalate, but instead get back to having a discussion. But the talk is getting less and less civil (including comments like "It took quite a long time to rise to an overt squabble; I'm surprised, coz I was willing it",) and some sort of cooling down is needed. -- Myke Cuthbert (talk) 03:29, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- Added 6th if IP address is a sockpuppet. -- Myke Cuthbert (talk) 04:06, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- I have also been engaged in this argument, and I'm finding this user to be quite disruptive. His verbose comments are frequently insulting, and most of the time repeat the same argument. His older editing history seems to be of reasonable quality, but he comes off almost as a troll on the talk pages as of late. I've listed another edit here from the anonymous IP. (Oops, edit conflict with Mscuthbert... thing it's straightened out now.) - Rainwarrior 04:10, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- I would be shocked if Tony sunk to the level of sockpuppetry. — Deckiller 04:25, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- Hello, I've reverted three times, not four or six. I have no sockpuppets. Tony 05:38, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- First removal was a revert, second one was a "removal again" as per your edit summary, 3rd marked as "rv" and the 4th was also a revert. I'd give more of a benefit of the doubt if you weren't threatening people on the talk pages. -- Myke Cuthbert (talk) 05:46, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- Protected the page. Myke and Tony have always been doing good work whenever I see them. No need for any escalation or arguing about who is breaking wiki-laws etc. I've locked the page. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 05:49, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- It is highly improbable that Tony has resorted to sockpuppetry. Tony says he's from Sydney, Australia (and the times of his edits appear to corroborate that), and the IP is from Connecticut, USA. -- tariqabjotu 05:51, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

- Yes, nobody should be blocked here. Whenever established editors get blocked for 3RR, it seems one of their allies bails them out, so it won't accomplish anything. The key is mediation, especially since we're dealing with professional and civilized editors who don't have behavior or social issues. — Deckiller 16:22, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
