Comments:There have been several points at which we had arrived at a consensus with Pmanderson|Septentrionalis, though invariably each time he returned to his original point. He has set others up for 3RR in the past (myself included), but immediately afterwards pretends to agree with a new consensus until his 4RRs become 'stale', then it's back to his same old tricks, at which he is quite accomplished. As he has set up others in edit wars, posted 4RR notices, and escaped unscathed, it is only fair that he face the same music himself and wear the badge he foists upon others. Then perhaps he will truly participate in collaborative editing, instead of drawing us (and yes, I am to blame too) into senseless lameness.

Comments: This article has been the frequent target of (ocassionally persistant) anonymous IP vandals who do nothing but revert the page. A long process of criticism citation and removal has been taking place on the talk page, and has been archived for viewing. Regardless of invitation, many IP vandals continue to make edits, but this is the first to knowingly break 3RR (see the user's talk page - they were invited to discuss the changes in the talk page and well warned of further reverts). The Association for Renaissance Martial Arts remains in its current vandalised state because further editing from myself will break my 3RR. However, I believe I may do so without persecution per [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:BLP#Remove_unsourced_or_poorly_sourced_controversial_material WP:BLP], is that the case?

• There are a couple others, but they usually have relatively busy daily lives and only stop by once a day at most. I'll leave it for them. Also, do you think it may be worth semi-protecting the page? I would hate to do so, but I think only 1/20 anons do anything to improve the page.

Time report made: 20:14, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

The 3rd "revert" was simply me trying to add something in. I was editing something I agreed with, yet adding alot of extra information. I was making an edit in the 3rd "revert" then it didn't come out like I intended, so I posted it differently.

The 4th "revert" was actually an attempt at a compromise. User Pete K, who originally made the addition I wanted to delete, told me to remove the information I agreed with and he'd consent to remove the information that I didn't agree with. User 999, who never made an original contribution to the article, then reverted.

The 6th "revert" is laughable. Again, there were several sentences on antisemitism that I agreed with, but only took it out because user Pete K said that he'd agree to have a long quote on "Jewry" taken out if I took out the sentences on antisemitism. Then the two meatpuppets put the Jewry quote back in. So I put the antisemitism sentences back in (since I was originally the person who took them out).

It may take a bit of investigation, but I think you'll clearly find that I only made 3 reverts.

Furthermore I would like to say that I never would have even made 3 reverts if I wasn't "pushed to the limit" from an obvious tag-teaming effort. I don't know if this is the place to do this, but I'd like to complain about user 999 and his partner in crime, Hanuman Das. They are obviously teaming up (I saw that they have a history of this) to circumvent the 3RR. Rottentomatoe 02:22, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Comments: User is removing an MFD tag, calling it "reverting vandalism" and "Reverting unwanted edits of my PERSONAL PAGE." User is certainly aware of 3RR, given his last edit summary of 3rr doesn't apply to reverting vandalism. Of course it would be interesting to see the voice of the defense silenced by blocking them. A clear violation of any attempt at due process)

Comment: This user appears hostile (as the violation is only one example) to presenting reliable sources to create the basis for the article, and seeks via POV to focus on critics instead to be the basis of the article. Whether or not this is deliberate is to be reviewed. However, I cannot believe that a mass revert of content can be called a "copyedit" because WP:copyedit does not refer to covering content reverts.

Comments

Kiyosaki is a suspected sockpuppet who edits disruptively on a number of articles, and who has been warned about 3RR before and blocked for it once on November 9. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=&page=User%3AKiyosaki] His attempt to report me for an October 24 3RR (which was one edit and three reverts) above, because he knew he had just violated 3RR himself, is his characteristic behavior. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 07:16, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

:You are disruptive and you are deceptive in most of your edits. I am still learing about 3RR, and still maintain that my "revert" was an "edit", and you like to play games to hurt people. Please do not accuse others until you review your own conduct first. You flat out removed info about Desmond Tutu that I spent hours on including (with reiable sources/footnotes), and you removed it 4 times in 11 hours, because you are hostile and disruptive. Your actions above, speak for themselves and they continue. Thanks.Kiyosaki 07:24, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Here is typical entry on the talk page this person is making.

Your stonewalling continues to be ridiculous. Your attempts to game the system and throw up procedural firewalls are laughable. That you ignore every reasoned argument is not the fault of your fellow editors. No one owes you further explanations. Eleemosynary 04:03, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

This user continues to revert entries and has begin blanking other sections of the article they feel are objectionable as well.

:Caper13 is, true to form, dissembling. Please note the above "11 reverts" are, in most cases, for different edits. The quote he has posted for me above needs to be considered in response to his behavior on the Rush Limbaugh Talk Page, in which he has displayed bad faith editing, obnoxious cheerleading, many attempts to "game the system," and many, many 3RR violations of his own (judging by his standard). He has also chosen to "pile on" on my Talk Page (in violation of WP:DICK), after I had been warned, politely, by Allen3. I have removed his troll bait from my page, and welcome an admin's thorough examination of this matter. Eleemosynary 02:52, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

::This is the type of personal attack and distortion we are having to deal with. My only entry on her talk page was to inform Eleemosynary (as is is advised to do on this page) that I had reported her for 3RR violation. My entry to her talk page (which she reverted calling it troll bait) is here [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AEleemosynary&diff=87897973&oldid=87780952]. Eleseemosynary continues to revert entries on the page, having just made her 12'th edit in addition to those previously listed above. Can someone please address this ongoing issue. I would also welcome any Admin who wanted to examine this matter. Caper13 04:18, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

:::My latest edit was only after responding on the Talk Page, and was a different edit than my previous ones. Caper13 is dissembling once again. Caper13 has also shown a stubborn adversion to ANY input on the Talk Page which aims to include sourced criticism of Rush Limbaugh, or remove cheerleading. When she is called on it, she simply accuses others of "personal attacks." Not an uncommon event on political pages. Eleemosynary 04:37, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

This is not the first time this guy violates the 3RR rule. But because he himself is an admin, he kind of got out of it every time. Anyway, this time he clearly violated the 3RR rule. Furthermore, deleting things without discussion is a kind of vandalism, but he doesn't care.

Comments: A number of these edits don't follow the 3RR rules. Some of them are different edits, and one is simply reverting vandalism. Sorry. Also, Clamster5 has made several reversions as well if you check the history on the page.--CyberGhostface 23:35, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

They're all reverts, although one is to revert unrelated vandalism. Not counting that one, it still leaves 5. All the others are reverts of my edits to the page that are not vandalism. Clamster5 23:38, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

:So in other words you falsely added an unrelated revert? And what, your reverts don't count? Surely you've broken the 3RR twice now, hmmm?--CyberGhostface 23:40, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I broke the rule. But that doesn't mean you didn't. I'll remove the revert that wasn't idential to the others. Happy? Clamster5 23:42, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

• User has failed to attempt to achieve consensus on talk page, and instead resorts to multiple reverts, with personal attacks in edit summaries. This should be discouraged. Smeelgova 06:33, 16 November 2006 (UTC).
• NOTE: I myself have reverted in the course of this edit history, but no more than 2 times. The first time was for ease of use for my personal edits, and other than what I had objected to, I put all the rest back in, though I admit this may have not been the best way to do this. In later edits, instead of reverting I put back in information, and tried to compromise with the editor in question by moving some information to the footnotes section. He instead continues to revert and I fear this will continue until he sees that consequences exist. Smeelgova 06:33, 16 November 2006 (UTC).

Time report made: 11:11, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Please note that this was made at the request of User:Aminz on Truthspreader's talk page. Aminz has violated the format that the two sides have worked out, which is criticism followed by response. He uses POV language, stating as fact things which are only opinions of scholars, and clearly so. To get his POV across he has started to give biased "background information" to make the rest of the article appear in a different light, despite my remark that the article was already getting too long and that this was not appropriate to the article. He has started to turn the article into the exact opposite of the title by discussing new theological movements in Islam which are only tangenially related to the topic, none of this with any discussion, and in fact ignores my comments about it. He does not sufficiently respond to my comments on the talk page, and ignores my edit summaries explaning my constructive edits. His most recent wholesale revert was done without responding to my many comments about hours of work. To top it all off he has claimed on the talk pages of three admins that anti-semitism is a purely western thing! I am contributing constructively to this article and chronicling my changes and objections on the talk page and the edit summaries, unlike Aminz, so I do not believe that I should be blocked. Arrow740 11:28, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Comment: User:Aminz and I (TruthSpreader^Talk) believe that every source on the wikipedia should be compatible with WP:RS and WP:V, even criticism, otherwise there will be no difference between other wikis and wikipedia. I believe that it is a poor excuse for WP:3RR rule violation. TruthSpreader^Talk 12:34, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

:While not conceding anything in regards to other articles, as far as this article goes, a source need only be a notable critic of Islam, with reliable, verifiable work, and that's what we have. Criticism of the Quran largely takes part on the internet due to the anonymity the internet provides. Arrow740 22:01, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Please note the paragraph started with :"Patricia Crone, an scholar of early Islamic history, states ". It is removed in the following 4 reverts:

Itaqallah, provided a fifth revert (#2 above) --Aminz 21:57, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

:I think I made a good argument why Aminz is the aggressor here. The bottom line is that I explain all my edits, make constructive changes, and attempt to discuss mine and Aminz's changes. He does not discuss his edits, and reverts repeatedly without addressing the concerns that I made very clear. As regards the Crone part, I repeatedly told Aminz that it did not belong there, as it did not fit into the overall structure of the article as decided by itaqallah and myself on this and other articles (criticism then response).

The three revert rule - and please make sure you've read it - is there to stop edit wars; when enforcing it, it is irrelevant who is 'correct' in any dispute" --Aminz 22:07, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

:::You didn't. Admin, please see this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Criticism_of_Islam#Sefringle.27s_recent_edits] which is itaqallah summarizing some of arguments. Arrow740 22:11, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

::::this is the page for 3RR violations, not content disputes. as for misrepresenting the context of a previous discussion in which you were not involved: we were specifically talking about the format of presenting actual criticisms, which was necessary to formulate per the critique-spamming and granting of undue weight to one side, not the format of general article prose or sections within it (for which there is WP:GTL, WP:MOS and others). ITAQALLAH 00:28, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

:::::You seem happy to write paragraphs here. It doesn't make sense to have criticism, then a response, then criticism, then a response, etc, either in the place where you applied this principle or in a full article. Arrow740 00:52, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Time report made: 17:50, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Comments: Done despite reams of arguments supplied on the talk page, which he has not been able to counter. He was told that he had "broken the 3 revert rule" and that he would reported, just before he reverted and retorted that the users who opposed him would be reported. i.e. He is conciously ignoring rules he's aware of — Preceding unsigned comment added by Estavisti (talk • contribs) 17:50, 16 November 2006

:My reverts were done in good faith and to prevent POV. The users Estavisti and Panonian constantly insist that the name under which the person described in the article is known in Croatia is "incorrect" and "croatisted" which is clear POV. All I did was put the Croatian version in the brackets according to wikipedia policy, I did not change the name of the article or anything else. I am also strongly considering to report the mentioned users for vandalising and especially Panonian for personal attack because he called me a nationalist on my personal talk page. In short this is a classic content dispute where these two users are trying to enforce their POV. --Factanista 18:05, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

::Factanista, Wikipedia's 3RR limits to itself - just that. It doesn't matter what your edits are (as long as it's not cleaning up vandalism or self-revering). --PaxEquilibrium 19:17, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

:::I AM cleaning up vandalism. Enforcing POV and removing his name in Croatian is vandalism. Also putting that Osijek was in Military Frontier is also incorrect information and is also cleaning up. I have not removed anything from the article save for rephrasing POV and removing incorrect info. --Factanista 19:46, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

::::The Osijek issue is wholly unrelated to the name issue. No one removed the name in Croatian, as can be seen in any of the diffs listed above. It was simply rephrased to note that Josip is a Croatisation of the man's name, not his actual name. Is that so unacceptable, accuracy in Wikipedia? --estavisti 19:58, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

:::::The Osijek issue is related to the article issue, adding that it was part of Military Frontier is wrong information and is to be removed, insisting on wrong information is violation of rules. Also stating that his name in Croatian is "croatised" or "incorrect" version is POV and POV is indeed unacceptable. --Factanista 20:16, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

::::::It's not - you can edit stuff about Osijek in the article while not reverting the language issue, but you choose to revert at the same time.--estavisti 20:43, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

:::::::Yes it is. One is POV other is incorrect information, enforcing both is vandalism. --Factanista 21:04, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

::::::::I don't think the latter is incorrect info... as for disputing - well, this is not vandalism, but a content dispute. Nevertheless - the subject here is whether you broke the 3RR rule or not - and it appears that you did. Your discussions are off-topic here. --PaxEquilibrium 21:18, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

I added the 8th revert of Factanista. Even after all these warnings, he reverted again. --PaxEquilibrium 19:17, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Versions variate across the days, but the dispute (over which the reverting was in progress) is the very same. --PaxEquilibrium 19:34, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

----

Just noting here that I've added the 9th revert, after all these warnings. I think this deserves a strong response, as this user being deliberately disruptive and ignoring all warnings and advice. People like this really drag down the collaborative culture of Wikipedia, when they couldn't care less about the acceptability of their behaviour. --estavisti 19:44, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Comment

Kiyosaki doesn't like this article and seems to be trying to sabotage it by making lots of fiddly little reverts to confuse people and game the system. I've picked out four five of the recent ones: three of them reverting to a version where he removed Jew Watch (among other things), and one two where he reverted to a new header he'd added, which is four reverts in 14 hours five reverts in 15 hours. I've given the dates and times of the versions he reverted to in each case. He's been warned about 3RR many times and blocked twice for it since November 9.

HELP!!!! I have been contributing to the article, please review the discussion. If I reverted 3 times, it was an accident and mistake. I don't believe I have violated the rule, let me review before being blocked. Thanks. Kiyosaki 11:22, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

There is a discussion page section about the above "Jewwatch" thing. I asked for response but there was none from anyone, please review the section. SlimVirgin, you are not being kind.Kiyosaki 11:25, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

:Accusations of not knowing the rule or not understanding that reverts needs not be linked are acceptable in new users, not in people who have been here for well over a month and who have come into contact with the rule before. The first revert of a sequence need not revert to a page that had been in action within the last 24 hours. And anyway, remember that the 3RR is not a licence to revert three times; even if you had not broken the rule, I'd have been tempted to block for edit warring anyway. --Robdurbar 12:36, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

This user is one of many that is deleting cited information from an entry. The user in question removes the emo tag unexplained, even though the citation for that genre uses emo as a genre for the band.

• Comment: User:Sm1969 prefers to edit war and summarily delete whole blocks of sourced information, rather than attempt to discuss on talk page. Even when a consensus is reached on the talk page to add fact{{fact}}, and wait for other editors to add the needed citation, User:Sm1969 just goes ahead and summarily deletes material soon after anyway. User has a habit of continually violating 3RR and edit-warring, and then attempting to justify this with various types of ends-justify-the-means, arguments. Smeelgova 04:48, 19 November 2006 (UTC).

Response from accused: Please see the ArbCom ruling regarding 3RR. Further per Jimbo Wales, adding "fact" and "citation needed" is not the right remedy. Removing the offending UNSOURCED material immediately is the remedy. Let me get the Jim Wales quote.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons&action=edit§ion=3

Jimmy Wales has said:

:"I can NOT emphasize this enough. There seems to be a terrible bias among some editors that some sort of random speculative 'I heard it somewhere' pseudo information is to be tagged with a 'needs a cite' tag. Wrong. It should be removed, aggressively, unless it can be sourced. This is true of all information, but it is particularly true of negative information about living persons."

He considers "no" information to be better than "speculative" information and reemphasizes the need for sensitivity:

Addition from sm1969: ArbCom notes that the priniciples for ongoing organizations are similar to biographies of living people, the specific context Jimbo was addressing.

• Comment: I will refrain from further edit-warring with this editor on this article page, and wait for this issue to be resolved. Smeelgova 04:49, 19 November 2006 (UTC).
• Comment: Also a very interesting note in the edit history "this is also an exception to 3RR per the arbitration Smeelgova was involved in", makes one think User:Sm1969 is actually aware of his actions here, and at the same time attempting to rationalize away his 3RR violations. Smeelgova 05:03, 19 November 2006 (UTC). Please also note that the arbcom ruling this User attempts to cite has no bearing on other articles, and was only a ruling relative to a separate article. Smeelgova 05:27, 19 November 2006 (UTC).

• From the accused, the ArbCom ruling has everything to do with the reversions here. The ArbCom ruling addresses specifically UNSOURCED negative information about ongoing enterprises, here: Landmark Education.

• From the accused (sm1969):

First defense: Per ArbCom ruling, poorly sourced and unsourced negative comments on ongoing enterprises (Landmark Education) are similar to Biographies of Living People, and such edits may be redacted immediately and are an explicit exception to the 3RR rule. All of the edits cited in the 3RR report are TOTALLY unsourced as shown below.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Hunger

ArbCom: Articles regarding ongoing enterprises (continued response from accused sm1969)

2) The principles of editing articles about ongoing enterprises are analogous to those which govern Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. As applied to this matter, unsourced or poorly sourced negative material may be removed without discussion, such removal being an exception to the 3 revert rule Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Remove_unsourced_criticism. This extension of policy is based on the proposition that any unsourced or poorly sourced negative material is potentially harmful.

:''Passed 6 to 0 at 14:24, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Let me now show you that the information is unsourced or poorly sourced [actually it is all totally unsourced, and it is precisely the edits that Smeelgova cites and Smeelgova was involved in this ArbCom ruling and well aware of it. Sm1969 05:18, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

EDIT-0 (original reversion): [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Landmark_Education&diff=87522593&oldid=87499865 11:59, 13 November 2006]

This is redacting a report from the US State Department. If you look at the URL that is the reference of this report:

http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/irf/2006/71367.htm This URL says absolutely NOTHING about Landmark Education and I made Smeelgova aware of this. This is precisely the poorly sourced negative information--totally unsourced--that Smeelgova cites. The ArbCom ruling that unsourced negative material may be redacted immediately is per ArbCom's own words, an exception to 3RR. (Calling something a "cult" is definitely negative information, and, in fact, Landmark Education has received many retractions, forced through the legal system, for the use of the world, "cult.")

EDIT-1: This is redacting information that the Government of Sweden "classified Landmark Education as a new religious movement." If you read the actual source Smeelgova cites, it says NOTHING about Landmark Education. Smeelgova later posted an edit that Smeelgova would later substantiate it. The ArbCom ruling gives me, in my understanding, the right to redact unsourced negative information, even as an exception to 3RR, ArbCom's precise wording as noted above. Jimbo says not to put a "fact" citation, but to remove the edits, aggressively.

EDIT-2: This is redacting the UNSOURCED Austrian government classification again. However, there is a twist. Here Smeelgova cites *two* URLs. The first one is to the official US State Department report on religious freedom and the second is to some unknown web site where someone posted the information. Both reference URLs purport to be a copy of the US State Department report on religious freedom in Austria. However, the OFFICIAL US State report referenced URL given here has NOTHING about Landmark Education. (The official web page of the US State Deparment giving the report definitely trumps a second-source copy of the exact same report.) This is, once again, ArbCom ruling that unsourced negative information may be redacted as an explicit exception to 3RR. I posted numerous comments on the talk page about this--the official and fake URLs and reports--and on Smeelgova's Talk page directly.

EDIT-3: Now, we are back to the Swedish government report again, which is totally unsourced negative information about Landmark Education. ArbCom also held this to be an explicit exception to 3RR. Smeelgova even noted that Smeelgova would provide the information later.

EDIT-4: This edit is redacting both A) the UNSOURCED Swedish government report and B) the UNSOURCED US State report on Landmark Education (because the official URL on the US State Department web site does NOT mention Landmark Education). Again, this is consistent with the ArbCom exception to 3RR for UNSOURCED negative information on ongoing enterprises.

EDIT-5: This edit is another redacting of UNSOURCED negative information. The URL provided is dead. This is yet again an ArbCom exception to 3RR for UNSOURCED negative information.

I have repeatedly tried to work with Smeelgova. I have brought up the issues with Admin Jossi and Admin William Connelley numerous times. I believe the ArbCom was quite explicit in why this policy is there. Putting up dramatically UNSOURCED negative information damages Wikipedia. User Smeelgova could have substantiated his or her edits and responded to my lengthy criticism on the Talk Page, but chose to continue putting back the negative UNSOURCED information, in violation of the ArbCom ruling above in which Smeelgova was a participant.

I believe that ArbCom made this an explicit exception to 3RR because such UNSOURCED negative material is harmful to the organization affected and to Wikipedia and that it can "removed without discussion" (ArbCom's exact words). The exception to 3RR means that having it up for even an hour is considered a greater damage to the defamed organization and damage to Wikipedia than redacting TOTALLY UNSOURCED negative information about ongoing enterprises. I believe you should cite Smeelgova for edit warring (3RR)--bringing in UNSOURCED negative information no basis, even when warned numerous times on the Talk page. (In fact, Smeelgova was recently cited for edit warring and blocked for 24h.)

Here again is the ArbCom URL and the exact quote:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Hunger

2) The principles of editing articles about ongoing enterprises [here: Landmark Education] are analogous to those which govern Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. As applied to this matter, unsourced or poorly sourced negative material may be removed without discussion [and I did discuss at length on the article's talk page], such removal being an exception to the 3 revert rule

Even in this case, before reverting again, I contacted Admin Jossi to see if ArbCom precedents were binding, and he said they may choose to enforce them. I request that you do. The specific UNSOURCED edits Smeelgova has added are factually false and defamatory and totally unsourced. This 3RR report is, in my opinion, a total abuse of the process.

The only other block ever, on me, was from Smeelgova for redacting contributory copyright infringement. The first time it happened, Admin Connelly gave me an 8h block. The second time, when I got other admins involved Admin Jossi, for the exact same set of reversions, the Admins (Jossi and Connelly) said I was acting in good faith.

Again, please see User:Jossi (an Admin) familar with the interactions between Smeelgova (my accuser) and me (the accused).

Sm1969 05:37, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Again, please note that this is TOTALLY unsourced information. There is just NOTHING in the references Smeelgova gives, except the fake US State Department report, contradicted by the URL of the real US State Department given in the same edit. It is NOT a matter of interpretation. There is NOTHING in the source addressing Landmark Education, the ongoing organization damaged by the TOTALLY UNSOURCED edits of Smeelgova's.

Please also note the top of this Admin Board for 3RR:

If you violate the three revert rule, after your fourth revert in 24 hours sysops may block you for up to 24 hours. In cases where multiple parties violate the rule, sysops should treat all sides equally.

Chronic offenders may be subject to rulings by the Arbitration Committee.

I believe this specifically says that ArbCom is a higher authority than 3RR, and ArbCom's ruling in this matter is perfectly analogous to my reversions of Smeelgova's UNSOURCED negative edits about an ongoing enterprise. Smeelgova should be cited for a 3RR for continually bringing in the UNSOURCED negative information that was the source of the ArbCom ruling. It damages the organization and it damages Wikipedia. Again, please look at the six edits and see who is violating the spirit of Wikipedia. ArbCom says I should remove the UNSOURCED negative information without discussion and that it is an explicit exception to 3RR. Sm1969 07:03, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

UPDATE: Smeelgova has been putting in dead links and zero source references before, per the exact same ArbCom ruling:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Hunger

Critical references

4) Some of the references used, especially to the critical material supported by Smeelgova, lead to dead links, lack a page reference, or are inaccessible to an ordinary reader [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Hunger_Project&diff=59873029&oldid=59867455#References].

Comment There does not appear to be a case of 3RR here at all. One of the five reversions cited above is a different piece of material. Of the other four, two occured in a 24 hour period staring 1:45 on 17 Nov, and the other two ocurred within a period starting 11:48 on 18th Nov. There have not been as many as 3 reverts within 24 hours (and definitely not more than 3).

It should also be noted that user:Smeelgova has a history of aggressive editing (often based on poorly sourced material, as seems to be the case here) in furtherance of a particular POV, of making repeated wholesale reverts of other editors' work, and of making egregious complaints against editors who do not share his/her agenda. DaveApter 17:18, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

: I also find it very significant that, as Sn says, there are two different version of what purport ot be the same info: the offical state dept [http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/irf/2006/71367.htm] that does *not* mention Landmark, and the AmPat version [http://www.allamericanpatriots.com/m-news+article+storyid-16247.html] that does.

I did explain my edits carefully on the talk page and User:Factanista didn't seem to understand what "Croatised" means and that it doesn't have pejorative or negative connotations, so it seemed OK to revert. To put the dispute in context, we've (myself, User:PaxEquilibrium and User:PANONIAN) been dealing with a very uncooperative user on this article, who seems to have limited comprehension of English (User:Factanista, who reported me here). Incidentally he was recently blocked for 48 hours for reverting the article in question 9 times in 24 hours, persistently ignoring 3RR warnings.

SkinnyMcGee keeps removing edits and citations. I have tried to involve every one of his edits while retaining my own contributions and those of a few other's along with line citations and references, but SkinnyMcGee just keeps removing ALL new content and reverting to text that is misleading, not cited, and shown to be untrue when checked against older sources. I have checked his content and most of his edits are deceptive—changing dates, changing credits, removing notable content, citations and references—to make the article read in a misleading way that discredits one of the former band members/producer of two albums. His only edits are to this page and he seems to be one of the band members trying to edit his own page so as to promote an entirely different history of the band than what has been otherwise verified prior to some breakup among the members. He only posts links to personal interviews that actually contradict older news articles, radio interviews and cd liner notes (which he also keeps removing from reference list). It appears he is trying to rewrite history using Wiki as a platform. He keeps calling any other edit done to this page "defamatory" and he is suspected of sock-puppetry with maybe 4 to 6 other names.

This is not the first article this has taken place on (see Hell Comes to Quahog, which resulted in a full protection, on my behest), and there are plenty more examples than given. This user appears to believe that they are enforcing the rules, and continuously cites a handful of WP policies. Discussions have taken place on my user talk page, his user talk page (I've also warned him about 3RR here, but he tends to delete contents of his talk page often), Wikipedia talk:Centralized discussion/Television episodes#Cultural references sections, Wikipedia talk:Verifiability#Verifiability of television episodes, and the talk pages of this article and Hell Comes to Quahog. –Dvandersluis 15:19, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

:All of my edits were to remove material that violates established policies and guidelines. I will be happy to back off until discussions are done however, so far, consensus is on my side. I'm sorry people seem to think that there is a place in the general purpose encyclopedia for fan speculation and inference based on facts not in evidence, but there is not. Wikipedias editorial standards are extremly lax and editors unwilling to follow such simple rules as WP:OR and WP:V are not welcome here. As for the reverts, I will back off but when can one consider a discussion closed? How many seasoned editors saying there is no place in the encyclopedia for unsourced edits does it take for people to understand that there is no place in the encyclopedia for unsourced edits?

Comments:

The user has been vandalising articles relating to the historic Portuguese monarchy in an attempt to add support for a false pretender (that is someone who claims to be a dynast of a royal family but really is not). His edits are misleading and are an attempt to feed false information into Wikipedia. I should also note that he is a sockpuppet (one of several) of a banned user named Manuel de Sousa. The other sockpuppets are similarly noted. Even though this is merely a 3RR write-up, an admin would probably be interested in checking out the edit histories. Charles 19:11, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Allele, and before him {{User2|Harvardy}} have been engaged in a content dispute on the page with {{User|Gene Poole}} primarily. The IP edits today are obviously and transparently Allele using an IP to avoid it looking like it's him. No need to checkuser: the article history is rather clear that it's a sock.

123wiki123 is a now-acknowledged alt account/sockpuppet of User:Deathseeker, as is the anon address (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:123wiki123&oldid=87576001 here] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:70.101.196.236&diff=88753246&oldid=88333545 here]). He has been warned (and blocked) multiple times for violating 3RR on the Xbox 360 article before (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=&page=User%3ADeathSeeker here] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=&page=User%3AJigahurtz here]), and has used sockpuppets in the past to try to avoid bans under the 3RR (confirmed by checkuser, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/DeathSeeker here]). He was recently granted an unblock request by Netsnipe on the condition that he avoided disruptive editing (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:123wiki123&diff=87578497&oldid=87459965 here]). It looks to me like he's not keeping that promise. Nandesuka 23:46, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

:Love how you forget to include that the reason for the reversion are your violations of Wikipedia:Lead, you constantly ignore guidelines and when you can't get your way so you come here. Stop ignoring policies/guidelines and making it look like enfocement and abiding of policy is "disruptive editing".123wiki123 02:03, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

:: "But my edits were better" is a very poor excuse for violating the 3RR. Nandesuka 02:10, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

::: "I follow the rules and am stopping someone who doesn't is a good reason to do so.

I also find it interesting that, after two reverts from you. Nuggetboy manages to show up for his first appearance in this article since the last time you had be blocked for your rule breaking, and again, manages to agree with you. Wish I had someone who followed me around, helping me workaround the 3RR and voice the same opinion I have on a talk page.123wiki123 02:20, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

:::: Not that this is at all relevant, but only one of us has been blocked for violating Wikipedia policies, and it wasn't me. And, in fact, "I am stopping someone from violating the rules" is also a terrible reason to violate the 3RR. The only reverts that that's permitted for are those that are unquestionably simple vandalism, which neither my nor Nuggetboy's edits were. Have a nice day. Nandesuka 03:03, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

: Can someone please address this report? Whether it's to accept or reject it. Thanks. Nandesuka 12:58, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

As there was no reasons to evade the 3rr rule as per WP:3rr, I am blocking Deathseeker with his alternate account and ip for 72 hours as there have been 2 previous blocks for 3rr. --PinchasC | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 13:32, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

While you guys are obviously correct here (and we need people like you to get the cruft off this encyclopedia), current Wikipedia policy must be upheld. Plus, should rollback really be used in such a manner? — Deckiller 02:06, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Well I found out that DaisyDefender is a banned user evading block, so it's indef and I unblocked AMIB Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 02:08, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

That makes much more sense; Ryulong and AMIB are too experienced to overstep 3RR that obviously (not to mention with rollback). — Deckiller 02:10, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

:Actually, I was unaware of any sockpuppetry until I get pinged by this in the RC channel. I just saw a hell of a lot of unencyclopedic cruft (which is probably what AMIB saw first), and I reverted once, and then did a vandal revert and warn with 3RR before listing here.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 02:12, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

• Edits made in response to [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=Crculver this]. I think you'll see that he edited the article thrice as well.

The user who lodged the complaint is too proud to ask me for further citations when I made it clear that I would provide them on request (in the edit summaries) and yet despite despite my making it clear that I have additional citations he goes ahead and writes "All four reverts have in common the goal to make Max Muller the most prominent citation (which is contested by other editors)".

He's gotten away with flaunting 3RR at least twice [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/3RR#User:Pmanderson_reported_by_User:Skyemoor_.28Result:.29] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/3RRArchive28#User:Pmanderson_4_reverts_reported_by_User:Skyemoor_.28Result:.29] that I've seen in the last two months, getting off because the reports about him were 'stale'. He's submitted 3RRs against others in the past recommending blocks (even against ones that had not been warned), so he knows what the violation is.

:I may have lost count; if so, I regret both the fact, and the 15 minute slip. If I had realized that Skyemoor had reverted four times, I would have reported it here.

Comments: User:Commodore Sloat has initiated yet another edit war on a recently unlocked article. He has made a minor revision to his revert in order to avoid 3RR. << armon >> 00:53, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

There are only two reverts; {{User|Armon}} is totally misrepresenting the facts. Looking at the edit history of the article, my [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Juan_Cole&diff=89551118&oldid=89550132 1st revert] was a revert to his previous version; then he [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Juan_Cole&diff=89551719&oldid=89551118 reverted me] with a cryptic explanation. Rather than reverting, I [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Juan_Cole&diff=next&oldid=89551719 rewrote the passage] to take into account the point he seemed to be trying to make. This was not a "second revert" as he claims; it was a rewrite of the same material in an attempt to compromise. He then [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Juan_Cole&diff=89556598&oldid=89555517 reverted me] again, without taking into account my attempt to compromise. I then [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Juan_Cole&diff=89556801&oldid=89556598 reverted] -- this was my first revert to a different state, though he erroneously calls it my "3rd revert." However. Armon then [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Juan_Cole&diff=89557400&oldid=89556801 reverted again] to his original state - the grand total revert count is 3 reverts for Armon, 2 for csloat. If anyone should be blocked for revert warring it should be Armon, not csloat. Is there a Wikipedia policy against filing misleading 3RR reports? csloat 03:40, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

:Reverting to minutely different versions is an attempt by csloat to game the system. He objected to mention of Cole's sympathy for Israeli divestment campaigns. There are now at least three different editors who have checked the cites and agreed that it is accurate. See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Juan_Cole#Yet_another_edit_war_and_3RR_by_sloat here] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Juan_Cole&action=history page history]. He is now attempting to wikilawyer about the phrase "blanket ban" because the cite was dropped from my version. It was however the phrase used by Cole in the old version, which sourced Cole's blog, that he reverted to. I also quoted it in my edit summary "Israeli academics as a class have not done anything wrong and it is not right to subject them to a blanket ban." Please take his page disruption into account when deciding on the length of his block. << armon >> 05:23, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

::Please WP:AGF, Armon. I was not "gaming the system"; I was attempting to compromise based on your cryptic edit summary that there was a POV problem. The differences between versions was not minute; I removed the material I thought you had objected to on NPOV grounds and made changes I thought were appropriate as a compromise. I had no way of knowing how invested you were in the "divestment" issue as you did not mention it until you filed this 3RR report. This is not the place to go over our differences in terms of content, but I am not "wikilawyering" the phrase "blanket ban"; I objected to it because it was not present in the cite you cited on the page (it is from another source that was not cited in your version of the page). I even stated [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Juan_Cole&diff=89585522&oldid=89583441 on the talk page] that if you wanted to quote the blog I would not object (though I still don't see how it is notable). I think it is unfair to report me for 3RR based on this when I was trying to compromise, and when you actually reverted more than I did. I also don't see any evidence of "page disruption" and I fear that you are making assumptions of bad faith. csloat 07:39, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

:::This is a perfect example of csloat's gatekeeping and self-justifications. Only that which he deems "notable" or "relevant" is allowed without a drawn-out battle consisting of various "unwinnable" ad nauseum arguments which only serve to inflame tensions and drive off other editors. His "compromises" consist of removing the cited content, that for whatever reason, he objects to. As for assuming good faith, that is not something he extends to other editors, as can been seen from an even cursory glance at Talk:Juan Cole. I have repeatedly asked him to stop this. << armon >> 08:29, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Just to follow up and register my frustration (not sure if this is the place, but there doesn't seem to be anyone to turn to about his dispute), JoushaZ who finally jumped in to block me was involved in this debate. Adierre who added the 4th revert also reverted 4 times along with me and he was not blocked. I have never encountered such a group of editors and administrators who hold no regard for Wikipedia policies as I have on this article . I stepped in as a lowly editor to try to correct what was clearly an article and debate in trouble. This is the thanks I get: two consecutive blocks by JoshuaZ (involved in the debate). First for only 3 reverts. Then for a legitmate 4 revert violation, but a violation that simply sought to maintain a legitmate NPOV template that should not have been removed within minutes.. --Cplot 06:00, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Further to the above: This is just ridiculous. This is what I found:

• {{article|Erick Barkley}} 41 reverts each side since 20 Nov
• {{article|Barry Sumpter}} 35 reverts each side since 20 Nov

similar on:

• {{article|Leandro Barbosa}},

Given the massiveness of the revert-warring, the pettiness of the topic, and the blatant failure of both sides to seek a reasonable consensus, I think I'll up both blocks to 48h, even for a first offense. Plus another 24h for Downwards for personal attacks in the process. Give some other editors a chance to work it out in peace in the meantime. And I'd recommend to other admins to hold both these guys to something like a 1RR parole on these articles ever after. Feel free to review. Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:53, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

• Are you for real? Firstly, that other user is nothing to do with me so lets get that clear - what is so obvious that its is a sockpuppet? Because we both have a name beginning with a B? Secondly, I did not break the 3RR, the first change was an edit because I had seen that it was wrong and the second two were reverts. That is when I stopped editing the article, I then went into the history of the article and spotted that it was you who had deleted out the reference to Volunteer - therefore it is you who has broken the 3RR and your edit is going against the consensus, in fact today you have broken the 3RR on the Sean O'Callaghan and Joseph MacManus pages also.

It looks like 3RR to me, and the sock accusation seems very likely. I've blocked Bp for 24h; and the "sock" indefinitely. Mind you DU got the "prev version" wrong.

An established user, but was notified of 3RR [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:BabuBhatt&oldid=89875803 here].

Time report made: 19:53, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Comments: Album covert image being used for something other than an album article, so was removed. User reverted it four times, the last revert being done after being told of potential 3RR violation if reverted again.

• The real issue here is whether it qualifies as 'fair use' for an album cover to be used on the article about the band. This is really a technical question and the template on Fair use says that such an image may be used "solely to illustrate the audio recording in question"; it doesn't say specifically it has to be an article on the recording. In any event, this issue is one of copyright and not of an intent to stoke an edit war. The best way to deal with this is to work out the copyright issue rather than issue blocks. Why not try a fair use review on the image? Fys. “Ta fys aym”. 20:16, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

:*It isn't being used to illustrate the audio recording in question, it's being used to illustrate the band. I went through this with the Billy Joel article, and covers are only for the album article, or a mention of the album in an article. The 3RR violation is there, he was requested to revert, he didn't. Though he has found the time to go through my contrib list and edit many articles I've recently contributed to which he hasn't touched before today (check his contribs). *Spark* 20:22, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

::*This could be getting into angels dancing on the head of a pin territory - is this "Here's an article about the band Tesla, and here's a picture of the band taken from one of their albums" or is it "Here's an article about the Band Tesla, and here's a picture of one of their album covers"? The latter would seem to be appropriate for fair use. Really it's a technical issue of copyright law (IANAL) and not appropriate to deal with through 3RR enforcement. Fys. “Ta fys aym”. 20:31, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

::*The license is fairly clear. Regardless, 3RR was knowingly violated after a warning. *Spark* 20:37, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

24 hours. This user made the fourth revert after being warned he had made three, and then rejected the chance to self revert, although his contributions show that he has still been editing since he was offered that chance. AnnH ♫ 20:55, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

• Image in question has been replaced by the band's logo, which creates an acceptable fair use situation. Hopefully this is amenable to all parties and the underpinnings of this dispute will evaporate. --Durin 22:03, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for that, Durin. I think the situation has calmed down now. In any case, following [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:BabuBhatt&diff=89896966&oldid=89894735 this] agreement, I unblocked BabuBhatt. It was a first offence. AnnH ♫ 22:42, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

;Comments:

The user's only activity at Wikipedia is whimsically tagging of images to ensure their deletion. While he might have succesfully tagged the copyvio images on his way, much of his activity endangered images that are perfectly within the policy, and are critical for the articles they illustrate. User is deaf to the arguments from other users and instead of carrying his crusade to the policy pages, chooses instead to arbitrary tag images he selects on the whim. His talk page documents many responses and explanations but the user prefers to ignore attempts to discuss and continues his assault. His position on the image above was rejected by several experienced editors in good standing well familiar with the Wikipedia policies on image. User:Chowbok in response resorted to wanton revert warring and bad-faith accusations of his opponents in vandalism. Putting his general behavior aside for a wider user conduct action, this report narrowly addresses the issue of revert warring and plain 3RR violation. --Irpen 22:11, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

:As Irpen's comments make clear, he is simply reporting me because he disapproves of my actions generally. This is simple, petty harrassment. Removing an RFU tag is vandalism, pure and simple; no different from removing an AfD or copyvio tag. (It's not true that tagging images is my "only activity", BTW; I've created many articles and added many images, as anyone who looks past the last few weeks in my edit history can see).—Chowbok ☠ 23:41, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

This is an interesting response that defies the AGF, our most basic policy, right in its face. I do have a problem with the above user's general attitude but those I will take to RfC or ANI or ArbCom as I see fit. This, however, is a report about a narrow action of the user, wonton edit warring and it is posted here where belongs. His urge to delete a specific image led him to a plain edit war against several users who simply were restoring the consensus at the page. The above calling a 3RR report as harassment has as much a validity as calling his opponents "vandals", also exemplified above. --Irpen 06:14, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Amoroso was warned and asked to self-revert here: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Amoruso&diff=prev&oldid=89943726]

Time report made:03:07, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Comments: this edit-war is basically about whether Levinger should be added to the article. The subject of the article is an Israeli citizen who was convicted by an Israeli court and served time (twice) in jail. As such, he fulfills the criteria for this category, as stated here: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Israeli_criminals]:"Israeli criminals are Israeli citizens or permanent residents who have been convicted of crime by an independent court of justice." There is also a "See also"" link he objects to.Huldra

Comment: Bogus report obviously. RR doesn't apply here because of WP:BLP. User:Huldra accused him of being a part of an underground movement with no refs by putting the underground link to the "see also" section when the article doesn't mention the underground. He then failed to give those refs when asked in talk [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Moshe_Levinger&diff=89942933&oldid=89942721]. The libel information was therefore reverted and the Gush Emunim Underground link removed. Huldra then admits it's an edit-war - basically him trying to make libel comments over a living person without discussing it in talk (the see also link) and without any evidence - and I see this report of his as abuse of the system, gaming and apparently not good faith. Amoruso 03:15, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Comments: The first time Amoroso mentioned the "see also" Gush Emunim Underground link was at 02:10, 25 November 2006 (that is: after he has reverted 4 times). (I do of course not agree with his argument that I "accused him(=Levinger) of being a part of an underground movement with no refs by putting the underground link to the "see also" section"). And I am not finding any refs. now; as local time is about 4:45 AM and I´m going to sleep...Finally, a Huldra is always a female, please!! Regards, and good-night, Huldra 03:43, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Comment: Obviously Huldra's allegation here about the time zone is wrong and seems to be an outright lie, since he himeslf talked about the link here [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Moshe_Levinger&diff=89920410&oldid=89917228] on 23:50, 24 November 2006 which was before all reverts or at the latest 01:50, 25 November 2006 before 2-3 reverts also so Huldra already knew that this was problematic. With now Huldra admitting that he didn't find any refs yet continued to place this link to associate Moshe Levinger with the group without any proof, I think it's clear why this report is faulty and in fact no 3RR took place obviously (per the rule "All users are encouraged to remove unsourced or poorly sourced blatantly defamatory, potentially libellous information about living persons... Reverts made to enforce this provision are generally not considered contentious"). Action can also be taken against Huldra for violating WP:BLP in such a blunt way trying to associate the cases with obviously no proof or knowledge of the material. Amoruso 04:07, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Comment: It is completely obvious that Amoruso violated 3RR; he should just take his punishment. The issue is a commonplace content dispute and his claim that his bad behavior is justified by WP:LIVING is bogus. --Zero^talk 07:57, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

:Zero comments are of course in bad faith, him being a regular 3RR violator, he's just annoyed on a personal basis. Obviously no 3RR took place. Amoruso 15:16, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

''' Comments:

Me and other users have been reverting his changes due to original research/bias on the Michael Richards incident. Couple examples:

1. introducing his OR + POV saying Richard's publicist "erroneously stated that Richards is Jewish." when there's already considerable dialogue on the discussion page about Richard's Jewish-ness or lack thereof.

2. misleading statements by breaking the section into two, then stating "publicist Richards hired after fallout from his comments, Howard Rubenstein, confirmed the report." Which gives the semblance Rubenstein was hired after the Jewish incident instead of the Laugh factory incident.

After his 1st very rude revert (stating "Do not remove this again"), I reverted and mentioned there's already discussion and the Jewish stuff shouldn't be modified till there's consensus it should be added. He reverted right away saying there's no consensus the statements should be removed. I reverted again, this time stating my reasons 1 & 2 above on his user page. He reverted right away, marking my edit as vandalism, and added test1 to my talk page. As I do not want an edit war I tried to engage him in dialogue again on his talk page (which he deleted claiming vandalism) [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AKazakhPol&diff=90270838&oldid=90178220], to which he responded by writing on the Michael Richards talk page claiming I'm a vandal and use sock puppets and my--and those of a couple others who evidently disagreed with his views--edits should be watched out for. I responded to his accusations, which he deleted from the talk page again claiming vandalism. After another user reverted his changes on the Richards, he reverted again for the 4th time in 24 hours.

I want to add there're very opinionated posters from both camps (this one is just a particularly fervent and I feel a bit maliciously manipulative one from the anti-Richards camp. I find bias in the pro-Richard camp as well). The page may be worth a look for admins to make a final edit, clean up facts + non neutral POV, then just lock it till people's emotions cool down.

• Caper13 admits that he is editing paragraphs for which he hasn't read the sources so that those paragraphs reflect his personal point of view rather than factually represent the sources. As such, his edits are attributing statements to people and news organizations that they did not make. I am just correcting to his insertion of POV misinformation.

• MariusM left a notice on my user talk page asking me to enforce this. I let him know that 3RR enforcement is not something I have chosen to do. Nonetheless, I am coming here to say that in this case someone should certainly be doing it. This article has been a real problem in this respect: two or three pro-Transnistrian-independence users, Mark among them, have been attempting to present this breakaway province as a beacon of democracy, and have been fighting by every means at their disposal, fair or foul, to have their minority viewpoint dominate the article. - Jmabel | Talk 16:21, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Comments: User:Mark us street is the editor of the [http://www.tiraspoltimes.com website "Tiraspol Times"], previously he edited at Wikipedia under the name User:MarkStreet. His website is made with the purpose of making propaganda for international recognition of secessionist regime of Transnistria and he want to make this propaganda also through wikipedia. His reverts mainly are dealing with changing the description of Transnistria from "region" to "country" and denying of the existence of terrorism in Transnistria (he change "terrorism" with "violent incidents" - we are talking about explosions in a bus and a van which killed and wounded many people). Also, he want to promote his website in the External links of Transnistria article - I think this is a conflict of interest.--MariusM 11:27, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Later comment: I added the 9th and 10th revert, which were done after the report was made.--MariusM 12:16, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

He did the same to Marco Polo article which was also locked and protected some time ago. Of course there need to be two to Tango but I was merely reverting his removal of content and POV enforcing.

Time report made: 03:11, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Comments:

Rebuttal: My first edit was decidedly not a reversion, but the removal of disputed content which the reporting user insists on restoring on multiple pages over the objections of many other editors and with no attempt to seek consensus. (For the history of the dispute see here and here.) Since the first edit the user cites was not a reversion but a removal of content of disputed reliability, the rationale for which was explained clearly in the edit summary, therefore there was no violation of 3rr.

The central point here is that User:Amoruso is attempting yet again to gain the upper hand in a content dispute by seeking admin intervention. For complaints of user's history of this kind of system-gaming tactic, of which this bad-faith 3rr-reporting in the attempt to prevail in a content dispute is only one example, see here. He either cannot or will not seek consensus, preferring edit warring and bad-faith incident reporting instead of reasoned discussion. The voluminous negative commentary and complaints on User_talk:Amoruso show the record of this behavior.

As for my supposed "incivility," "cockiness" and "defiance", I deny all three: given the user's history, q.v., my warning was a reasonable attempt to prevent his customary next action. In addition, there can be no question of "defiance," as the user wields no authority I could be defying.

Also, no suitable warning was placed on my talk page.

Comment

Aminz is restoring the disputed tag because we don't want to include more material about how Muslims were allegedly never antisemitic before the establishment of the State of Israel. We are resisting this because (a) there is already material in the article saying that, (b) it's not clear that it's accurate, and (c) it's not really relevant to the concept of new antisemitism, which is what the article's about. Amibz has been blocked six times before, several for 3RR. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 03:49, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Comments:

While this is technically four reverts in 31 hours, there are (IMHO) aggravating circumstances in play:

• This user is a repeat offender of the 3RR rule. A careful examination of his edit history will show that after his last 3RR block on November 8, he learned to work around the 24h timer on this and other articles in which he engages in edit-warring.
• After the second of these four reverts, another editor (who is, incidentally, an admin) advised him against a third revert on his talk page.
• When I restored the previous edit after his third revert, I left my reasons for supporting the group consensus on his Talk page. He proceeded with a fourth revert and also reverted my comments in the discussion on his Talk page, as shown here:[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3APanarjedde&diff=91621081&oldid=91506274] Dppowell 05:19, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
• There has since been a fifth revert. An additional editor (and admin) subsequently pointed out to the user that he's pushing POV in defiance of consensus, and I'm hopeful that he'll have the good sense to stop. Dppowell 14:24, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

• ::::3RR covers doing the same sort of edit repeatedly, revert or no.—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 08:31, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

• Additional diffs: I'm placing these here to show that Bharatveer is, indeed, making the same unilateral edits replacing "Hinduism" with "Hindu Dharma". He has been asked in the discussion page to show any quantitative argument for doing so, but has not done that at all, and also retorted with vague replies directed at other editors. Anyway, following are some more diffs. Also note that Bharatveer's edit warring over the same issue led to the protection of the article, and he has resumed the same edit war right after the article was unprotected.

Time report made: 02:41, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Comments: The paragraph that starts with "The claims that..." was reverted 4 times in 24 hours, and a few more times prior to that. Discussion in talk asked for justification for the additions, which was not given.

24h William M. Connolley 23:23, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Comments: (1) These additions were extensively discussed and justified in talk - the talk section on this (like Lear's young bird) is substantially longer than the article. (2) Although the alleged 4th revert looks like a revert from the Diff, in fact if you look at the talk you will see that User:Snalwibma had removed the text because it was (accidentally) garbled and specifically asked "If anyone knows what it is trying to say, and can edit it to make sense, please go ahead" and his response when it was restored was "OK thanks" - he then continued to work on it to improve it. NBeale 07:37, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Further comment: I asked User:Snalwibma and he replied "For the record (and because you asked me specifically on my talk page), no, I would not count your reversion of my deletion of those two paragraphs as a revert. You were indeed doing exactly what I had suggested on the talk page." NBeale 12:59, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

:For the record, the remainder of Snalwibma's reply: "But this is hardly the point. In the circumstances it might have been wiser to address the range of issues raised by a number of editors, not just to correct the syntax, and to discuss first on the talk page." --*Spark* 02:57, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

:All the changes had been discussed on the talk page before I reverted. The reporting editor, and an anonymous IP, did not engaged the talk page however, while continually leaving edit summaries claiming that there was nothing on the talk page. In the 4th diff above I also made a mistake. I did not notice that I was reverting the Hajj comment, I only thought I was reverting the CIA factbook tidbit. For that I appologize.PelleSmith 15:11, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

:Please note that none of these reversions are back to the same version of the article. --Strothra

15:00, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually there were five reverts by him. Policy says "The policy states that an editor must not perform more than three reversions, in whole or in part, on a single Wikipedia page within a 24 hour period"

please note "in part". Same version is not an argument because any body can revert and then make minor change like adding a word or sentence to work around 3RR which is incorrect. So policy includes inparts too.

About hajj figures there was a discussion but that was done when page was protected and this discussion was not about whether to include the figures or not. It was only about what is the conclusion of the figures. he removed the hajj figure portion without any explanation on talk page. And in edit summary just labeled it as "orignal research" although full references were given.

Any how this debate must be done in talk page. Question here is that whether 3RR rule was voilated or not. Here I believe it was clearly voilated with five reverts. and the exceptions which are shown in policy like self revert was not the case here.

so these actions were a clear voilation of wikipedia 3RR rule. Which applies to ALL.

Khadimnaby 13:51, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

::Yes but there is not even any similar "part" that was reverted more than 3 times. There were two seperate additions that were reverted seperately, with one exception mentioned above (but even then it didn't make me revert the same part more than 3 times). Yet again, I do appologize even for that.PelleSmith 14:41, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

::It is important to know that these are two seperate additions and not one single one.

Comments:

This violation took place within a disagreement over whether a certain lately-published book, entitled Jonestown: [etc]., should appear in the disambiguation article concerned. As of yet, the book has never had an article on it in Wikipedia. ChrisGriswold (CG) reverted my earlier deletion (3 Nov; see article talk page for deletion's rationale) of the book's earlier entry on disambiguation page, re-adding the entry with but slight difference -- over-long for a disambiguation entry, promotional in tone and initially including an external link. (CG's edit-summary was also a rather rude command that the entry remain). When I deleted the entry again, on the same grounds as before, he reverted me three more times. Please read the article talk page, too. (There's more -- isn't there always? -- but brevity is the rule here, most understandably.)

Response from ChrisGriswold:

The first "revert" is actually my adding a combination of some information that two other editors had added a month ago. This user refused to let these editors add the link, saying that it wasn't important, but obviously it was: One even included a reference to show its notability. I did not take my first edit to be a revert because I combined the work of the two other editors, and if a 3-RR violation was a concern of Lonewolf's, he might have warned me in advance as I had him. It really is to bad that such a minor thing as this disambig page would come to this; these editors genuinely believed this book to be a worthwhile addition to the page, and after reading the information online, I agree. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 00:27, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

This *is* very silly. But its also 4R, so you get 3h. Please just write the article instead of reverting William M. Connolley 09:55, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

:No problem. Throught the intervention of several other editors, this has finally come to a peaceful end. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 20:02, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

This user is insisting on an edit war because of a referenced website that he does not like, as he admits. These reverts were about a video-reference; of all references the best reliable, and he clearly states he does not care about the reference being correct, just the source he hates. He reverted edits by 4 different users -3 registered and one ip.

:I don't see any problem with the source for this particular bit of information. It actually provides a recording of the show in question. I don't see how you can get more verifiable than that.--Vercalos 23:59, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

::The site has an Alexa rank lower than 2.5 million. 17,000 hits on Google. Has not been shown to be a reliable source. The fact that we know the information is truthful does not make it a good source. If it were a Geocities site, would it be a good source? - A Link to the Past (talk) 01:01, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

::Also, an IP seems to have reverted my edits as well. An IP which has made only two edits - two reverts, to be exact. JackSparrow, may I know your IP?

::And I like how you portray my intentions as removing a site because I dislike it. I also hate IGN, which I said in the same sentence. And yes, considering policy says that a site's verifiability is more important than its truthfulness, I take verifiability over whether or not they're lying. - A Link to the Past (talk) 01:01, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

:::Sure JackSparrow Ninja 01:04, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

::::Here you go 80.57.29.212 01:05, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

:::::Though of course that has nothing to do with two other registered users reverting you, and Vercalos agreeing here.

:::::Anyway, how long are you going to keep twisting words like that? Verifiable information must come from reliable sources. Not in some twisted other way around, most certainly not by using error-sensitive sites like Alexia.

:::::Anyway, this is not the place for your rediculous discussion. JackSparrow Ninja 01:08, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

::::::A sixth revert has been made -in just 22 hours. It's been added above. JackSparrow Ninja 01:13, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

:::::::Yes, it does. I would love your explanation as to why a an IP would just come to Wikipedia literally for the sole reason of reverting my edits. Additionally, I think you typoed - see, you and Hyrule are the only ones who want LotL on Wikipedia. In all debates, you were the only two who fought for its usage. But then again, Hyrule OWNS the site, and you are in the same country as Hyrule. I doubt it's a coincidence that you're from the same country, that you are fighting for its inclusion. Can you verify that it's reliable? If you can, the site would be verifiable. If not, it cannot be. - A Link to the Past (talk) 01:34, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

::::::::Someone with your edit count should know that sometimes when people visit a page, they involve themselves in editting. This is too stupid to even considere a normal response...

::::::::I fight for what I believe is just, and I believe excluding reliable sources that contribute information, for the sole reason that you hate them (you only clean up lotl links, not a lot of other references that by your argument would fail) is not just. Whether it is lotl or any other site that has proven itself, I don't care.

::::::::And don't complain to me about me not showing anything, while you keep acting like I haven't tried to reason with you, and show you -while it is all there on your talk page. You just blabber on like it's not there. JackSparrow Ninja 01:43, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

:::::::::Ahahaha. You showed me a couple of instances where it disagreed with what main sites said. You have not shown that any major company, web site, or magazine acknowledges it as reliable. Verify that it is acknowledged as such.

::::::::::I'm not going into an endless discussion with someone to hard-headed to accept facts. JackSparrow Ninja 02:21, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

:::::::::::So sorry. I mean, it's obviously my fault that you who is causing an edit war by subtly refusing to explain why a site that you can't even verify its reliability won't answer me anywhere. FIne, then tell me, on my talk page. What makes this site reliable? Either you provide me with someone reliable to acknowledge them as such, or they are not and you stop adding the link to Wikipedia. And no, I'm accepting facts. However, I'm afraid you must be confused - see, you can't use something unrelated to the debate to prove them. The facts you provided showed that any big site, magazine, or whatever acknowledges them or sources them anymore than me showing a picture of the Eiffel Tower to prove God doesn't exist. - A Link to the Past (talk) 03:01, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Nice job avoiding my question. Again. Mind if I just assume that since you have never answered my question once - which if you were to say yes you would need proof, and if you were to say no you would have been lying - that you are lying? Answer my question. You have been acting in bad faith. Calling me "insane" (personal attack - something one who reports other users shouldn't be doing), insulting someone for their English, making deceitful edit summaries (hiding a revert among other edits), ignoring a clear consensus against the usage of this source, creating an edit war because of you ignoring consensus, et al. If I were to do an RfC, the both of us would get guff. However, you would receive so much more so for your tone and your edits. - A Link to the Past (talk) 03:33, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

:Pardon, but in this possible RFC, would you be calling him the WP:POT or the WP:KETTLE?NinaEliza 04:09, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Explanation of Reverts: 1st and 4th reverts are pretty self-explanatory.

3rd revert removed the phrase "to Utik (a province west of Artsakh)," and replaced it with "utis", just as the user did in his 1st revert ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=History_of_Nagorno-Karabakh&diff=92179316&oldid=91997222])

2nd revert ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=History_of_Nagorno-Karabakh&diff=92200622&oldid=92193852]) reverted the following two sentences added by me: "the Armenian meliks were granted a wide degree of autonomy by the Safavid Persia over Upper Karabakh, maintaining control over the region for four centuries", and "At the same time, the Armenian meliks were granted supreme command over Caucasus, including over Muslim khans, in return for the meliks' victories over the invading Ottoman Turks in 1720's." The remainder of the paragraph is virtually the same as the one in the "reverted-to" version (first paragraph in the diff page [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=History_of_Nagorno-Karabakh&diff=92189772&oldid=92179316]), with minor wording differences.

Please note that partial reverts (i.e. reverting part of the text, while making other edits) is still defined as a revert, and is subject to the 3RR rule.

Repeated removal of POV tags from the article. Not only it is Vandalism per the policy, but there is a 3RR as well. Sometimes only one tag was removed, sometimes 2, but the 3RR is prettly clear IMHO. -- Grafikm ^(AutoGRAF) 16:19, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Comment by User:Constanz. The page I edit has been subjected to pro-Soviet POV pushing (i.e adding POV tags illegally ). I removed the tags as unfounded, possibly qualifying as trolling (see talk) and have filed a request for comment [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/History_and_geography]. If I get blocked, the other part should equally be blocked for POV-pushing, which result in disruption. Constanz - Talk 16:36, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

: Reply. There is a discussion going on the talk page currently. Until a consensus is achieved, you cannot remove the tag (see policy). And you alone trying to push a POV is hardly consensus. And anyway, you broke the 3RR. -- Grafikm ^(AutoGRAF) 16:43, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

::: Reply. I doubt if a consensus including you and your supporters can be achieved at all - given that despite all the evidence, sources, links your group still rejects the opinion of the whole world; that you have not found any argument except for those coined by Soviet propaganda or yourself... Constanz - Talk 17:12, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Comment. Clear as day to me. The quy regards Wikipedia as a battleground, constantly crusading against what he sees as "Soviet propaganda", mindlessly revert warring, and refusing to settle the disputes on talk. All who don't share his POV are "trolls" and "vandals". Needs time to rethink his approach off-wiki. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 16:50, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

: Reply. All who don't share his POV are "trolls" and "vandals". - are you talking about yourself? [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Personal_attack_intervention_noticeboard&oldid=91139651#Ghirlandajo_.28talk_.E2.80.A2_contribs.29]. As already said, We have two POVs regarding the article: either 1.Baltic states were occupied or 2. Baltic states were not occupied. As sources me and others have given on talk page prove, the first POV is shared by overwhelming majority in the West and by non-participants. The second assumption has without exception been advanced by Soviet/Russian officials. It is a minority POV. We must not give prominence to the occupant's own justifications, or to draw a parallel, Flat Earth Society thesis here. Pushing the Soviet POV is trolling - what has been proven once again by the fact that you haven't found anything except for propagandist ideas and some original research as 'proof' for alleged POV. So far, POV tags re-added can only be regarded as advancing your own POV or as trolling. Constanz - Talk 17:03, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

24h. If this is subject to RFC, then I suggest you tone down the reverting until that concludes, hopefully successfully William M. Connolley 18:57, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
