This page is for reporting active edit warriors and recent violations of restrictions like the three-revert rule.

• See this guide for instructions on creating diffs for this report.
• If you see that a user may be about to violate the three-revert rule, consider warning them by placing {{subst:uw-3rr}} on their user talk page.

You must notify any user you have reported.

You may use {{subst:An3-notice}} ~~~~ to do so.

You can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

Additional notes

• When reporting a user here, your own behavior will also be scrutinized. Be sure you understand WP:REVERT and the definitions below first.
• The format and contents of a 3RR/1RR report are important, use the "Click here to create a new report" button below to have a report template with the necessary fields to work from.
• Possible alternatives to filing here are dispute resolution, or a request for page protection.
• Violations of other restrictions, like WP:1RR violations, may also be brought here. Your report should include two reverts that occurred within a 24-hour period, and a link to where the 1RR restriction was imposed.

Diffs of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page

Comments:

This article is on WP:1RR as prominently displayed on talk page. "New" editor is adding in content of a blocked sock. NeilN 18:08, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

• Result: 48 hours for 1RR violation on an article subject to WP:GS/SCW. The material that Hand snoojy was restoring was previously added to the article by User:Malam kanam 2003 on 25 January. That editor is now indef blocked per Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Absolution provider 1999. On 29 January Hand snoojy quickly made ten trivial edits to their own sandbox, presumably to get autoconfirmed. EdJohnston (talk) 03:53, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

WP:DUCK of the other sock puppets. Same insertions, same whining on talk pages, same English language errors as the other versions of this editor. Legacypac (talk) 13:10, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

User:Hand snoojy is back editing Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. He has made a series of edits that restore some of the same content (Special:Diff/645878331/645908644). EastTN (talk) 16:17, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Diffs of the user's reverts:

Not in 24 hour period, but very close.

1. (19:35, 1 February 2015) - A series of edits that removed text, re-added links that were removed per WP:REDNOT, and re-added the revisionist label that violates WP:BLP.
2. (08:01, 2 February 2015) - Removal of text, claiming OR unless I provide a translation.
3. (15:07, 2 February 2015) - Removed the same text, and made other reverts that were not stated in the edit summary.
4. (19:54, 2 February 2015) - Same as above.

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning:

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:

Comments:
The user keeps removing text (which has been in the article for a long time), claiming that I need to provide a translation of the original text from the source first. This is by itself disruptive, since a simple quotation tag, instead of a revert, would have been enough.
I spend time on the translation and posted it on the talk page. However, he then claims that I need to provide a translation done by a reliable source, which goes against WP:NOENG.
He also constantly added text that violated WP:BLP, and made off-topic, heated and combative talk page comments.
His comments, especially the last two diffs, show that he is concerned with combating the "Russian POV" in the Ukrainian-Russian conflict articles and is bringing this fight to this article.
Also, over a month ago there was another user edit warring in the same article. The article was later protected. -YMB29 (talk) 03:25, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

• I'd argue that this user could do with a topic ban under WP:ARBEE (he is aware). Repeatedly edit-warring in EE articles over the course of a long period time (see block log) indicates that this user is not capable of handling the topic area. Blocking him again is not going to solve the problem. A topic ban is the solution. RGloucester — ☎ 04:14, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
• I think Sayerslle made only two obvious reverts during last 24 hours. YMB29 also made at least two reverts. This is a complicated issue. If anyone wants this be considered at AE, that's fine. Please submit an official WP:AE request. My very best wishes (talk) 06:01, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

There is a difference between two reverts and four in almost a 24 hour period. Some reverting is allowed under WP:BRD. My last revert was to undo the previous revert by Sayerslle after I provided what he asked for in his revert summary. I thought that would settle it, but it did not... -YMB29 (talk) 07:21, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

this is 'stale' in sense that I have become so revolted by YMB29's TE that I have told him I don't want anything further to do with the main article page. he didn't provide what I asked for - the original text , on the article page,('in articles, the original text is usually included with the translated text when translated by Wikipedians' - he says, that doesn't mean on the article page, but it says what it says) -he studiously ignores everyone he disagrees with, -he kept removing RSourced material from the lead for no reason apparent to me, kept twisting the text in his favourite section, and so on. as for RGloucester's remarks i think that would be an over-reaction and I also notice that though I have edit-warred over 6 or 7 years, it is rare in the context of my overall editing ( this is an editor who put the MH-17 Malaysia airlines article up for deletion - he has his personal agenda and does things like that for a laugh apparently - and yet presumes to teach others about how to respect the encyclopedia ffs )-- i shant edit the article any more- do admins ever look at the substance of disputes btw - the lead was virtually 'these rapes, they've been nailed as part of an effort to portray Germans as victims, especially in the West -' - it was tendentious, it was odd, - and then YMB29 wants the views of marginal extreme Russian nationalist propagandists - everywhere, but if you try and add that a historian has been identified with a certain attitude to the history of Russia - and source it to the BBC - look out, you'll get called a violator of BLP, ( if you believe that take it to the appropriate venue - see what others think, that would be good), - you'll get your edits trashed - and then after the editor involved has edit warred with you, and others, but plays the game apparently against those who just care about the integrity of the text, well - he'll try and get those he basically hates politically taken out. Sayerslle (talk) 10:52, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

• This is just to clarify what is happening (in chronological order):

1. YMB29 is engaged in sustained slow-motion edit war on this page ,,,,
2. EdJohnston blocked another user (and rightly so) for edit warring, protected this page for one month, and issued YM29 an EE warning, with a reference specifically to this page
3. YMB29 asks to revert protected page to "his" version. Others object
4. YMB29 resumes edit war immediately after expiration of protection
5. He now reports yet another user for edit warring. My very best wishes (talk) 13:14, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

I would not defend YMB29's behaviour. However, Sayerslle has a long history in this ARBEE topic area, and of being in similar disputes. By now, it should be come apparent to him that his style of editing has not led to a productive result in this topic area. RGloucester — ☎ 14:24, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

I don't want to turn this into a big threaded argument, but I just want to note that user "My very best wishes" is not a neutral observer here. He has been engaged in edit warring and harassment in the EE topic area for a long time. He also has a long history with me, including recent examples of clear wiki stalking. I can provide all the required diffs, but this is not the right place I think.

The user also commonly makes claims that are simply not true. This is not an EE warning, as it clearly says This message is informational only and does not imply misconduct regarding your contributions to date. And I did not edit war after the protection expired, as there was an agreement to re-add back some text. -YMB29 (talk) 15:27, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

You tell that you did not edit war after expiration of protection. How come? Here are last 50 edits on this page. They are made during last 48 hours. I can see three reverts made by Sayerslle and three reverts made by you (in addition to my diff above). In addition, it was you who brought this request here, asking to deal with an edit war between Sayerslle and who? My very best wishes (talk) 15:50, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

You claimed that this is edit warring, which is false.

You also never explained your sneaky revert to remove text without consensus. -YMB29 (talk) 16:03, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

there is no consensus as far as I can tell to add all the stuff you want to from dyukov and senyevskaya , two fringe historians, - you just ignore others -and if you think the 'revisionist 'tag is unjustified why not take it to a venue where that could be looked at - its you that just edit wars - Sayerslle (talk) 16:21, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

If there is no consensus, changes have to be restored to the previous state, per WP:NOCONSENSUS.

If this basic wiki principal was followed the first time, before the page protection, we would not be having this problem again now. -YMB29 (talk) 16:29, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

I meant there was no consensus for your massive verbiage of extreme fringe pov historians to be quoted - it was only you fighting for all that pov verbiage as far as I could see- you writing 'this problem again' - what, you mean this has been a problem before? why do you think that is ? because its problematic ? ever thought of that? - and it was you that repeatedly removed sourced material for 'revisionist' - you that disruptively edited ad infinitum over that - why wont you take that source to a RFC or something - you prefer to edit war don't you , that's what you're like Sayerslle (talk) 16:41, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

I meant that you are not the first one to edit war against consensus in the article. -YMB29 (talk) 16:55, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

you are the principal edit warrior at this article . full stop. you are the principal pov pusher. you ignore consensus and other editors opinions. I see at rootless cosmopolitanism you leave edit summaries like - ' It is a valid source. Your opinion does not matter here' - and impose your (invaraibly Stalinist/Putinist/extreme Russian Nationalist/xenophobic pov writer of choice . I like the way some opinions don't matter to you. your opinion matters to you, thats all. disgusting. why don't you take your challenge of 'revisionist' to a forum of some kind? why do you just edit war over that? -yu say I violated BLP and you kept edit warring - ask for another opinion. go on. Sayerslle (talk) 17:16, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

BLP violations are usually removed right away. I was actually going to go to the BLP noticeboard about this, but then I saw that you keep reverting other parts of the article too. -YMB29 (talk) 17:34, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

no, not 'other parts of the article' - just your verbiage from fringe historians for which you have no consensus whatever - you edit war over 'revisionist' and don't take it to a noticeboard becase you like to see people you disagree just blocked or tpic banned rather than have your edits scrupulously looked at no doubt - at 'rootless cosmopolitanism' one sees again the nature of your 'work' and editing 'style' ,- diverse, well sourced material is removed and huge blocs of text , the work of your favoured Stalinist/Russian nationalist/xenpophobic writers are put in their place - you denigrate other editors , 'your opinion doesn't matter' - you edit war - you accuse people of BLP violations but don't take it to a noticeboard, just edit war - awful. a menace. Sayerslle (talk) 17:44, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

• @RGloucester. Yes, Sayerslle has a short temper, just like you. However, I have seen him contributing positively on a number of pages - just like you. YMB29 is very different. I believe he is simply a POV-pushing SPA contributor with nationalistic agenda, someone described in the essay by Moreschi. I think he does not contribute positively at all, but engaged in WP:TE editing and slow-motion edit wars on multiple pages, just as on this page, and this is something I tried to tell with supporting diffs here. My very best wishes (talk) 12:39, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Your last link is to an old version of the page that does not include my response.

You are just throwing baseless accusations. So I am a nationalistic SPA... Is that why you are keeping an eye on me and following me around?

I can understand why you are defending Sayerslle; you are both pushing the same POV together in many articles (like ). Given your history, I would not be surprised if you canvassed him to this article; he never edited the article until last Friday, which was when you complained about me "edit warring" but said that you don't want to get involved yourself. -YMB29 (talk) 16:04, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

@YMB 29 - that is not AGF. What I have a habit of doing YMB29 is sometimes clicking on the contribution histories of contributors that I have encountered , that is all, and that is why I looked at this article , and rootless cosmopolitanism. Sayerslle (talk) 16:28, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

For the rootless cosmopolitan article, he openly canvassed you. -YMB29 (talk) 16:52, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

that looks like open talk page conversation to me - is that what made me look at that article -anyhow I do look at contribution histories and that is what ,as I recall anyhow , brought me to this page about 1945 - I don't know what shared 'pov' you think we might be pushing anyhow - evryones pov is shaped by a multitude of things really - the thing is , is to be self aware when editing Misplaced Pages, to be aware of any bias and always seek to edit for the best of the encyclopedia - you just use wp as a place to pursue your nationalist pov - that's my opinion. and its shaped by my reading of Orwell's Notes on Nationalism - the tell-tale signs of that kind of mind - my personal opinion, not the result of a canvassed campaign against your (pov) edits Sayerslle (talk) 17:12, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

I am not sure what your accusations are based on exactly, but a simple look at your user page will show that it is you who has an agenda here. -YMB29 (talk) 20:28, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

a simple look at my user page reveals an open ness - a simple look at your user page - reveals - nothing. which in its way is revealing also. My user page reveals I am not a nihilistSayerslle (talk) 20:32, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Meanwhile the reverting continues. -YMB29 (talk) 16:03, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

good faith editing continues. i'm editing the discourse section , is that all right with the FSB? and your edit to the lead was POINT-y and pointless - you present a source and then challenge it yourself - twittish disruptive idiotic edits. and you whine about others canvassing and stalking you ffs, yet you carry on here a pathetic campaign monitoring others good faith edits - nauseating. - another editor observed of you 'you are doing almost nothing but reverts in a single article for the entire month' what are you here for really - you don't contribute to the encyclopedia except for a few articles where you edit war- hypocrite, you are 16:28, 5 February 2015 (UTC)Sayerslle (talk)

It looks like the disruption is carrying over to other articles. -YMB29 (talk) 18:21, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

its called editing - are you going to label 'disruption' any edit that doesn't endorse your world view. totally ridiculous. why do you keep running here with your whines anyhow ? why are you not discussing on the talk page differences of opinion? - you are just seeking to get people who don't agree with your pov blocked really on spurious grounds. I am editing - that is the whole bloody point of this place. - dégueulasse. Sayerslle (talk) 18:31, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

You never edited the article until today. Again, you are there only to support "My very best wishes," who followed me there today to revert my old edit.

Plus comments like "she is Fringe ffs - its fucking obvious" don't belong on wiki. -YMB29 (talk) 18:42, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

is it no swearing ever as well now, prig-ish nonsense, - one doesn't wish to swear but sometimes one is so exasperated by the kind of nonsense one encounters dontcha know - and is one not allowed to edit an article that YMB29 hasn't explicitly said one can edit? if you don't want your precious edits ever changed in any way you are told not to edit wp because that's exactly how it is on wp.Sayerslle (talk) 18:53, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

• I've looked over the article history, and there really only seems to be one long term edit warrior:

• 80.117.117.225 removes the text .
• YMB29 reverts
• MiGR25 removes the text .

• YMB29 reverts
• MiGR25 removes the text .

• YMB29 reverts
• MiGR25 removes the text .
• YMB29 reverts
• Nug removes the text .
• YMB29 reverts
• Volunteer Marek removes text .
• YMB29 reverts
• Iryna Harpy removes the text .
• Page protected.
• YMB29 reverts
• a series of minor edits
• My very best wishes removes the text .
• YMB29 reverts
• Sayerslle removes the text .
• YMB29 reverts
• Sayerslle removes the text .
• YMB29 reverts
• Sayerslle and My very best wishes remove the text .

• So by the looks of it, YMB29 has reverted no less than 6 editors. Note, I've only looked at the edits with >500 bytes changed, and haven't read the contents of the material added/removed. Stickee (talk) 23:23, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

@Stickee: So what is your point? This is since October. I undid removals of text that were done without any sort of consensus.

MiGR25 was a "new" user whose sole purpose was to revert; he was blocked for edit warring on this page. Most of the other users have a history of edit warring in the EE topic area and harassing others. -YMB29 (talk) 00:05, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

It's definitely true that YMB29 has been engaged in a slow motion edit war and regularly ignores input from others if they don't match their own POV. Sometimes s/he'll wait for a day or two, to avoid crossing 3RR, but they ALWAYS come back and revert. There's a good bit of stubbornness and, well, dedication here. Just not sure it's being used for good, rather than ye ol' regular POV pushing.Volunteer Marek (talk) 00:22, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

I have not even come across you much. You are just repeating the same thing "My very best wishes" said. If I remember correctly you two were members of the WP:EEML (under your old names) that targeted and harassed users... -YMB29 (talk) 00:53, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

I see that you're resorting to making false accusations. I've never "targeted" nor "harassed" anyone.Volunteer Marek (talk) 01:45, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

So you are saying that you were not a member of that list? Anyway, your edits in the article and comments here were not exactly neutral. -YMB29 (talk) 02:09, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

I am saying what I just said. I've never "targeted" nor "harassed" anyone. Please stop, or better yet strike, your false accusations. And no, my edits in the article were perfectly neutral. Yours on the other hand... Volunteer Marek (talk) 17:12, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

@Stickee: Was the linking of other users an attempt by you to canvass them into coming here and saying how bad of an editor I am?
Also, you have to look at the reverts closely:

• For this revert - A whole paragraph was removed on the pretext that RT is not a reliable source, but the main citation was actually to a different source (RT was only cited to show that the person was a historian). I simply removed the RT citation and re-added the text.
• - Three whole paragraphs were removed on the pretext of "coat racking" criticism of Antony Beevor, when in reality, as I later demonstrated, only part of the text mentioned Beevor.
  
• - Sayerslle reverted text, demanding that I provide a translated quote, for which the translation is done by a RS. He does not trust my translation. This goes against what is said in WP:NOENG, where translations by wiki users are allowed.
• - It was agreed on the talk page that this should be put back, as it did not have anything to do with coat racking.

So simply saying that I reverted six users in a 3-4 month period does not mean much without examining in detail what went on. -YMB29 (talk) 00:53, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Stickee, I am also curious why you skipped over in your summary this attempt by CurtisNaito to restore legitimate text and then the revert again by MiGR25? -YMB29 (talk) 01:32, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

WP:NOENG 'In articles, the original text is usually included with the translated text when translated by Wikipedians' - and you said this didn't mean 'in articles' - but it does say 'in articles' - and on such a controversial topic its important to be as open as possible with the sources and what one is doing with them- you asked 'why would they clutter the page?' or something, in response - well, how would I know I didn't write the rules , I was just saying what the rule suggests as good practice - so it wasn't me going against what NOENG says , it was you Sayerslle (talk)

No, posting the translation and original text on the talk page is allowed. I provided both, but you still remove the text, which shows that this was only a pretext for you to remove it. -YMB29 (talk) 02:09, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

I realize that all these comments make it hard for the admins to read this report, so here is a summary of the facts:

• Sayerslle was just short of breaching 3RR, by less than 20 minutes.
• He never edited the article until 30 January, which is when user "My very best wishes" complained about me "edit warring" there and said that he does not want to get involved himself.
• Sayerslle repeatedly removed text without consensus.
• He made edits that violated WP:BLP.
• He and "My very best wishes" have made reverts after this report was opened.
• As RGloucester pointed out, Sayerslle received lengthy blocks relatively recently for edit warring in the EE topic area.
• Sayerslle has made inappropriate comments here and on talk pages, such as calling my edits "twittish disruptive idiotic," calling me a hypocrite and a menace, using the F word, and complaining about Stalinist/Putinist/Russian nationalist POV, the FSB and NKVD...

-YMB29 (talk) 07:06, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

yes I do think your edits are disruptive - and your charge sheet against me is hypocritical , you are an edit warrior who has edit warred at the page over time -- you compile great vindictive dossiers but don't edit articles of the encyclopedia much except your hobby-horses. 'posting the translation and original text on the talk page is allowed' you say -yet the rule is clear that if a wikipedian is translating, the translation should be together with the original, - you just ignore that don't you - Sayerslle (talk) 07:36, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

"Sayerslle repeatedly removed text without consensus.": Mate, 6 other editors removed text, and you reverted every single one of them. Looks like there was a consensus for his edits, not yours. Stickee (talk) 08:27, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Again, six editors in over 3-4 months. Consensus is not built by reverting, especially by users who never or barely edited the article before and suddenly "became" interested. -YMB29 (talk) 15:55, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

I have only just noticed this report. In fact, there is also a slow-motion edit war going on with article Lewis Carroll which Sayerslle is involved in (see edit history). This prompted me a few hours ago to fully protect the article for one week and inform people on the talk page that they should resolve the issues or go to dispute resolution. If not, I mentioned action that probably would be taken. I just add this for further information.  DDStretch  (talk) 09:16, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

I've never edited that article in my life til I saw a BBc documentary last week and added one bloody sentence. That sentence was removed yesterday, and would have stayed removed. Consensus, however wrongheaded over the BBC , saying it was not respectable or some tosh, was clear, and I was not intending to edit that artcile again. I may say the admins decision to totally protect the article is absurd imo , over the top - I really am beginning to despise certain administrators who detect a 'pattern' of edits when what they see are brief moments in a contribution history that they are primed to seek out and destroy -you're discouraged DDStretch? well you are spreading discouragement also imo, - I edit articles o.k. - I added one sodding sentence at the lewis carroll article -it was not a big deal at all - -in the meantime perhaps this appeal of YMB29 for me to be blocked could be decided ? Sayerslle (talk) 09:26, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

A clear look at the revision history shows that you are not telling the truth in what you write above: you have done far more than just add one sentence. You have removed material. Additionally, replying in the manner you have is something you have history at, and which has had action taken against you in the past. I recommend an uninvolved admin take the appropriate action now.  DDStretch  (talk) 09:40, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

I added one sentence to the lewis carroll article and deleted nothing . - I added one sentence from a BBc documentary - what material did I remove? vindictive admins! Sayerslle (talk) 10:01, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

My apologies, you did not remove information, but you did repeatedly add the same infoermation. The personal attack on me is noted. Here are the editing events where you sometimes added the same material despite it being removed by others and subject to discussion on the talk page: Note all of them are much longer than the "one sentence" claimed.

2015-02-02

2015-02-04 added again with extra deleted information being re-added

2015-02-05 re-added

2015-02-06 re-added again

To summarize: I apologize, you did not remove material. However, you added far more than the "one sentence" you claimed, on 4 occasions, making that 3 re-addings. You also made a personal attack against me. I draw your attention to the relevant bit in the information about WP:3RR : "Even without a 3RR violation, an administrator may still act if they believe a user's behavior constitutes edit warring, and any user may report edit warring with or without 3RR being breached. The rule is not an entitlement to revert a page a specific number of times.". You have history of engaging in edit-warring and in the case of Lewis Carroll the question about whether that material should be included or not was already being discussed on the talk page, -and you took part in it, and yet you still engaged in the slow-motion edit-war, pacing the re-additions to avoid more than one in a 24 hour period. When this is pointed out, you do not tell the truth, but repeatedly say it was only one sentence, and then you accuse me of being vindictive for taking action to stop this disruption, though I do understand that you may have been slightly annoyed by my (now retracted) accusation that you had removed material. However, the fact remains that you have by-passed the 3RR rules and done so while you knew the dispute was being actively discussed. You should know better than this, given the block log that shows a number of blocks in the past for edit-warring.  DDStretch  (talk) 10:37, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

The personal attack on me is noted. Please, you just falsely accused the user of doing something they didn't do How about you quit whining about "personal attacks" when someone rightly calls you on your bullshit? God, how Misplaced Pages-typical. It's ok to lie about someone, but not ok to call that lie out, cuz that's a "personal attack".Volunteer Marek (talk) 17:11, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

If you cared to read the complete reply, you would see that I withdrew and apologixed for that, but there was still a personal attack. I apologized, but no reciprocal apology has been issued, and I note that you call my comment "bullshit", which it certainly is not.  DDStretch  (talk) 18:07, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

What you *should* have done is just said "I'm sorry, I was wrong". Instead you put in a "yes, but" and started accusing the user of "personal attacks" and threw a lot of "however"s in there. In other words, covering up your own mistake by attacking the user some more. If this was an apology it was a pretty damn insincere one.Volunteer Marek (talk) 23:28, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

• I am sorry, but this is getting ridiculous. One should simply quickly look and decide if a 3RR violation took place on one particular page. If in doubt, pleas close this thread without action. If anyone has other issues with other articles, please report them on other appropriate noticeboards, or make a new thread here about an alleged 3RR violation on another page. My very best wishes (talk) 12:41, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

That's not how it works, MVBW. Misplaced Pages is not a bureaucracy. There is no paperwork to file, no departments to be shuffled between. If there is an issue, it can be dealt with on the spot. This is especially true when discretionary sanctions are in effect (WP:ARBEE). RGloucester — ☎ 14:36, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

This is not bureaucracy, but efficiency. One should deal with only one specific question at a time. No one wants to read TL:DR walls of text, such as that one. That's why we have a number of different noticeboards for different purposes. Let's use them properly. In addition, a discussion by several admins on WP:AE (if there is a reason for such discussion - I am not sure) helps to find the best possible solution. My very best wishes (talk) 14:59, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

This page is not only about 3RR violations, but edit warring in general. I don't see why the fact that Sayerslle has a history of edit warring, and is still edit warring while this report is open, should not be brought up. -YMB29 (talk) 17:01, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

....or the fact that you've been edit warring for six months against multiple users? Volunteer Marek (talk) 17:13, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

how am I edit warring now, YMB29? - do you mean editing ? what are you on about? please , an admin, could a decision be reached soon about this as I feel like YMB 29 is just baiting me now really. Sayerslle (talk) 17:17, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

See here and Ddstretch's comments above. -YMB29 (talk) 17:26, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

oh right - - I've ruined both them articles for ever really - to the gulag then Sayerslle (talk) 17:34, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

YMB29, will you please STOP linking to some innocent edits or comments and pretending that they are some nefarious instances of disruption? You've been trying the same little ploy over at EdJohnston's page and it's transparently dishonest there too. What you seem to have the problem with is that Sayerslle is editing Misplaced Pages at all.Volunteer Marek (talk) 23:30, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Continuing to revert while this report is still open is innocent editing? Your accusations against me here and the fact that you attacked an admin above (for reporting more edit warring by Sayerslle) leads one to think that your only purpose here is to defend Sayerslle no matter what he does. -YMB29 (talk) 00:05, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Back to the heart of this report, I'm going to call a spade a spade: YMB29 is a disruptive, WP:TE editor who's brought Sayerslle this board because the latter has been the biggest thorn in his/her side in bringing WP:FRINGE theories by POV sources into the Rape during the occupation of Germany article. Even bringing the matter to this board is, by design, a disruptive, tendentious and cynical piece of "One who accuses others of malice". Reading through the talk page of the article is like a Misplaced Pages tutorial on textbook behaviour for an exercise in WP:BATTLEGROUND and WP:REHASH by YMB29. Other than one editor who latched onto this because s/he wants to point out that Sayerslle is naughty, the other editors commenting here have had extensive interactions with him and, yes, Sayerslle is a bold editor who can get a little overenthusiastic but, no, by no means is he anything other than WP:HERE, and that's not to say that he and I haven't had disagreements regarding content. I'm embarrassed that an agenda-driven editor like YMB29 has managed to have their POINTy attempt at getting rid of editors standing in their way entertained on this board. Even if Sayerslle were guilty of edit warring, that does automatically mean that YMB29 is a good editor in any sense. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 00:49, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

This post is a good example that the EEML tactics of sticking up for like-minded editors (no matter what they have done) and harassing others are still at work here. -YMB29 (talk) 01:30, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Iryna Harpy has really contributed nothing to the article except making endless accusations against me (similar to those above) on the talk page and also on my talk page.

When asked to contribute something constructive, she said that she does not have time and disappeared for over a month. -YMB29 (talk) 01:42, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

I beg your pardon? 'Like-minded' editors? If I deemed it worth entertaining your WP:ASPERSIONS, I could pull up numerous instances of hearty disagreements over various articles between myself and Sayerslle and with My very best wishes alone. As for 'disappearing' for a month, I was caught up elsewhere and am under no obligation to work on the article because you've adopted it as one of your pet projects. I was, however, fully aware that the dispute was still going a month later and (as it is on my watchlist) interceded on behalf of ongoing consensus over your sourcing blatantly fringe historians... and the fact that you refuse to drop the stick. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 02:33, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Those "fringe" historians are recognized in reliable sources, but that does not matter to you, as you continue with your accusations and blind support for other users whose POV is close to yours.

So you had time to make reverts and personal attacks against me, but no time to contribute anything of value? -YMB29 (talk) 02:49, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Your sources have been discussed ad nauseum for months: Coat racking, Sources discussion, Senyavskaya in English. In fact, you've modified 'reliable source' to being 'recognised in reliable sources' because all you can find is a few tiny, attributed allusions to her, but within the context of other opinions or, in the only serious RS (being Geoffrey Roberts - her phrase the 'front-line generation') in the context of the Battle of Stalingrad. I don't like treating this as the RSN, but we've all grown weary of your cherry picking in order to insinuate someone who has been accused of forgery (Stalin's non-existant document)... but that's all on the talk page. Now, as wearing down the opponent hasn't worked, all you can come up with is trying to get rid of the opponent/s. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 06:37, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

This page is not about content dispute, but... You mean falsely accused of forgery by someone in a blog. And you are the one complaining about cherry picking... Sources recognized and cited in reliable sources means that they are reliable. I think you need to review WP:RS.

Creating a report here is "trying to get rid" of someone? The "opponent" is edit warring across multiple pages and openly insults others, while you are supporting him here and accusing me. -YMB29 (talk) 07:28, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

• Sigh, YMB29 was recently warned that the article under dispute is subject to discretionary sanctions , yet he continues his disruptive edits even though a half a dozen editors continue to oppose them. --Nug (talk) 07:51, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

You got the same "warning", which was not actually a warning, but a notification.

And yes, I do realize that it is me vs. a group of like-minded editors, who are "coordinating in order to protect each other and their point of view in articles..." You should be able to recognize this text... -YMB29 (talk) 08:05, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Resorting to WP:PERSONAL attacks now. Nobody is coordinating anything, it is just that you are WP:NOTGETTINGIT that there is no consensus for your tendentious edits. --Nug (talk) 08:30, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

How do you explain your presence here, and your presence at the last report I opened, where you were also accusing me and defending a user who obviously was edit warring. -YMB29 (talk) 17:17, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

I have a script set up that notifies me if I am ever mentioned on any notice board. --Nug (talk) 23:41, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Well I did not mention you here and this is not about you, but you still came here to accuse me, just like last time. -YMB29 (talk) 00:18, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Stickee mentioned me above. --Nug (talk) 08:14, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

@YMB29. Will you stop edit warring on multiple pages when this thread is closed? My very best wishes (talk) 01:09, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Evidence shows that it is Sayerslle who is edit warring, and you as well. -YMB29 (talk) 03:24, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Stickee has presented evidence that you have been edit warring against the consensus of six editors. Looks like WP:BOOMERANG applies here. --Nug (talk) 08:14, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

You said the same thing last time in December when, as I mentioned above, you were defending another disruptive user. That is not really evidence when one looks at it in detail, as I explained above. -YMB29 (talk) 09:22, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Well of course you would only see everyone else as being disruptive, not yourself, but the common denominator is you. You have clashed with multiple unrelated editors over the same tendentious edits, but you only seem to see some kind of conspiracy against you. If you continue this behaviour you will likely be topic banned. --Nug (talk) 19:46, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Yes really unrelated... The common denominator is you and a few other users, who have a common history of edit warring and harassing other users together, coming here to accuse me and defend Sayerslle, who obvious is disruptive (and this is not only according to me, but others, including an admin, presented evidence above). -YMB29 (talk) 20:00, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

So Sayerslle, Iryna Harpy, MiGR25, My very best wishes and everyone else are conspiring against you? Nobody is harassing you, the issue has always been your inability to compromise and work with others to build consensus. Rape during the occupation of Germany was page locked just over a month ago during an earlier content dispute involving you and you were warned that the page is under discretionary sanction. No sooner had the page protection expired you are embroiled in another dispute with yet another editor over the exact same text. You accuse Sayerslle of reverting you, but you have alse been reverting Sayerslle. Your hands are not clean. --Nug (talk) 20:41, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Do you have bad memory? You yourself agreed that the text should be put back...

If you along with others were not harassing me, you would not be making comments like that, or even showing up here, as well as at the other report in December. -YMB29 (talk) 20:53, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Meanwhile Sayerslle is continuing to edit war in another EE topic area article:
That is 14 reverts in just over two hours... I don't know what else is needed to prove that he is very disruptive. -YMB29 (talk) 20:36, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

already stale ymb 29 - the spa wore me out and I gave up trying to defend RS there against pov pushers - I've moved on pal - why don't you stop harassing me and stalking my edits - what a pathetic yawp you set up that you are being stalked by others but you are un self critical to a ludicrous degree - contemptible. Sayerslle (talk) 20:44, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

BLPs are exempted from 3RR per WP:3RRBLP. --Nug (talk) 20:47, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Sayerslle was the one adding text... You should understand what is going on before rushing in to advocate for him. -YMB29 (talk) 20:56, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Users Darkstar1st, Mrjulesd, and Finx have all been edit warring on this page, though none of them have broken the three revert-rule. None of them have made an effort to discuss the issues on this article's talk page.

Recommend that the article is protected for a month, with admin-only edits allowed, so that these people have to use the article talk page. If my suggestion is adopted, I recommend that Darkstar1st's quotation requested tag is restored. It will give them something to discuss on the talk page.-- Toddy1 (talk) 18:29, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

@Toddy1: Are you honestly saying there has been no discussion? There is a huge discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#User:Darkstar1st_on_a_site-wide_purge_of_any_mention_of_.22libertarian_socialism.22 that you have completely ignored. What about the discussion at Talk:Freedom and Solidarity Party over exactly the same issue? There has been no end to discussions about his edit warring and POV pushing on numerous articles. Same behaviour at Solidarity (UK), Concentration for the Liberation of Aruba, Equality and Democracy Party, Kurdistan Workers' Party, Freedom and Solidarity Party, Socialist Party (Netherlands, interbellum). POV ON A MASSIVE SCALE! ALL REMOVING REFS TO SOCIALIST LIBERTARIANISM! Why do you completely ignore all this? --Mrjulesd (talk) 18:57, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

You posted a link purporting to be a discussion on this article's talk page, and there was no discussion there. It would have been better if you or Finx had started a discussion on the article talk page when you placed an edit-warring notice on User talk:Darkstar1st. The discussion should have addressed the issues. If he/she had refused to participate in the discussion this would have been clear evidence of edit-warring by him/her.

As for "massive POV", there are faults on both sides. In some articles he/she has wrongly deleted citations. In at least one article you restored a citation that did not support the statement it was provided for. In at least one other article, his/her actions have caused collaboration on the talk page between you, Finx and I to improve the citations; this is what the talk page is for, and is an excellent example of you and Finx doing good work.-- Toddy1 (talk) 19:24, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

@Toddy1: There is no discussion there because guess what! He hasn't answered my note, but is continuing his edit warring and pov pushing. I'm waiting for a discussion on any of the talk pages, but no answer to my queries anywhere. How do you have a one-sided conversation? He writes "plz discuss" edit summaries but he doesn't bother.

I made no restorations I didn't check first. For example at Equality Party (Chile) the reference clearly states at on the above it clearly says "movimientos sociales chilenos" and "libertario". But I really don't think he cares, because he has ignored numerous other pieces of evidence. --Mrjulesd (talk) 20:55, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Here is the diff for EvergreenFir reverting your restoration of a citation that EvergreenFir said did not explicitly support the statement.

• I considered the ANI page and almost left a response before noting that you'd come here. I don't think a block appropriate at the moment: after checking his contributions, I believe that he generally doesn't edit except around midnight UTC and early afternoon. Given the fact that his userpage mentions travelling in various parts of the USA, I suppose he's in that country, and asleep by now; as such, the edit war's definitely not happening at the moment, and it might not continue. However, should he return and immediately start reverting, a single such revert should bring an immediate unwarned block. Nyttend (talk) 04:33, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Please note that this editor was previously blocked on January 23 diff for similar behavior, and does not seem to have learned from the experience, as editor is still engaged in edit warring, and has contentious discussions going with several other editors on several topics on their Talk page. --IJBall (talk) 02:03, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

With this flag situation, there has been a proposal issued for a request to clarify the MOS:INFOBOXFLAG. As it stands presently, it states "Human geographic articles – for example settlements and administrative subdivisions – may have flags of the country and first-level administrative subdivision in infoboxes; however, physical geographic articles – for example, mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes, and swamps – should not. Where a single article covers both human and physical geographic subjects (e.g. Manhattan), or where the status of the territory is subject to a political dispute, the consensus of editors at that article will determine whether flag use in the infobox is preferred or not." This means on a page like Kitchener, there is no set rule where flags are not allowed, as we still need to hear from the result of the proposal. After the fourth edit I realized I was being stupid and should stop, which is why I have not added the flags back after they were most recently taken down. I really am sorry. I do not want to get a lengthy ban, I just got caught up in the moment. Thank you for your time. Vaselineeeeeeee (talk) 02:13, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

This isn't the only instance of this user edit warring today. Take a look at Jordan Bachynski, where the user was warring over a WP:OVERLINK dispute with me. Rikster2 (talk) 02:59, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

^This is irrelevant. I agreed with him and we came to terms to leave Calgary linked separately with Alberta not linked as it is a major geographic area and should not be linked. Vaselineeeeeeee (talk) 03:21, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

1) it isn't irrelevant as it shows a pattern of this sort of behavior, and 2) don't confuse just getting tired of arguing with "coming to terms" Rikster2 (talk) 03:23, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

I am not confusing it. We came to terms, as my last edit was left current on that page as you obviously felt that it was a reasonable edit to leave it the way I put it, which is coming to terms. Vaselineeeeeeee (talk) 03:25, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

No, I just wasn't going to engage in edit warring with you on this. It was fine how it was originally. But I'll let the admins decide about you. Obviously there is a pattern here. Good night. Rikster2 (talk) 03:28, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Rikster2 went on to say how "no body cares about Alberta" (WP:IDL) and claimed ownership of this article because he created it so he decides what gets to be on it, this is a community, not just his article (WP:OWN) if you check my talk page. Vaselineeeeeeee (talk) 03:31, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

• Comment Admins will decide about Vaseline's inappropriate edit warring, but for the record parsing a city wikilink into individual city and province/state wikilinks is not OVERLINK. In my lengthy time on here, I have never seen anyone claim that. I have only seen it claimed at the national level (removing links to countries). Rikster2 should be mindful about WP:BOOMERANG. Hwy43 (talk) 03:43, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
  • Ive been around a long time too, and it is certainly an interpretation of OVERLINK and one that's been followed pretty consistently with basketball articles in my 7-8 years on WP. If you feel like you've got some grounds to bring me up on some WP charges, then please go ahead and do it. I've got a fine track record on this site, but by all means do what you need to do. Rikster2 (talk) 03:46, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

• Rikster2, no need for me to bring you up on charges. I've only witnessed one transgression and I AGF not only that this is a momentary lapse of emotions getting the better of you, but that you are also a solid editor. Is there a documented discussion somewhere in the basketball WP that confirms its overlink interpretation consensus? If so it would be helpful to point Vaseline to that. I edit mostly within the community, geography and hockey wikiprojects and have never witnessed such an overlink interpretation, but of course other wikiprojects may have different interpretations.

Israel is placed under an absolute 1RR rule . A big warning sign is shown when editing the article, and the arbitration clearly states "Editors who violate this 1RR restriction may be blocked without warning by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense". By reverting twice in less than an hour, Yossimgim violates the 1RR, and the warning in place when editing is sufficient, as per the arbitration decision. (His offensive remarks directed at me in the edit summary aren't inspiring good faith either.)Jeppiz (talk) 19:57, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

The issue was brought up on the talk page and the IP has not commented there since. They've continued reverting to their preferred version despite an edit warring/3RR warning. Gloss 17:52, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

@Gloss: I actually did comment there and filed a WP:DRN. Look carefully. 108.6.38.122 (talk) 18:31, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

You filed that DRN? That was filed by a different IP address than yours. - so you're admitting to having used two different addresses first of all. And secondly, you commented after making your fourth revert… after receiving an edit warring notice. The comment after the final revert doesn't make the final revert okay. Gloss 19:25, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

There haven't been three reverts in 24 hours. The reverts have been in a longer period, so that the edit-warring doesn't cross the bright line. Also, since IP addresses change, the use of multiple IP addresses is not considered sock-puppetry. However, I do advise the IP to register an account, because the article is likely to be semi-protected. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:51, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

This is the edit warring noticeboard, no? Not the 3RR noticeboard, specifically? 24 hour time period or not, the IP was reverting to get their way throughout the discussion and after 3 reverts over Feb 2/3, a warning was given and an additional revert took place. If a block isn't issued for something like this, I don't see what this noticeboard is for. Gloss 03:11, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Bringing this back from the archives for an explanation of why it was archived without any action. If this was any other editor, they would be blocked for this edit warring. But since no admin saw this or wanted to comment in time for the bot, it gets archived and the IP editor gets off without any kind of block? Gloss 07:39, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

As noted earlier, there was not 3 reverts within 24 hours. Blocks are designed to be preventative, not punitive, so blocking the IP address then and now wouldn't have any effect. At any rate, the page was semi-protected so any further disruption should be averted. seicer | talk | contribs 14:51, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

What you're not explaining Seicer is why it has to be 3 reverts all of a sudden. It's been made very clear that edit warring isn't always hitting the magic number of three. Copied directly from the edit warring explanation: "An edit war occurs when editors who disagree about the content of a page repeatedly override each other's contributions, rather than trying to resolve the disagreement through discussion. … Users who engage in edit wars risk being blocked or even banned." - but this one gets off free because he edit warred over the course of 3 days?

The following diffs are also reverts within the same 24 hour time period, although outside of the conflict being argued above. Listing them here as WP:3RR specifically mentions that users should only revert on the same article 3 times within 24 hours "whether involving the same or different material". And neither of these two edits were obvious vandalism of unconstructive edits. - which brings Tomica's total revert count in the past (just over) 24 hours (approx 25 hours) to 9.

Blocks are supposed to be preventative and not punitive, of course. And with the edit warring notice being removed and three additional reverts since the discussion was opened and no comments on the discussion as of this positing, with the user's only acknowledgment of the discussion being to ask another editor to comment in the discussion, it's clear that a block is needed here to prevent Tomica from continuing their edit warring, especially given their past history of edit warring as shown through the user's block log. Gloss 21:13, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Well, let's resume. First of all, I was edit-warring with Chase, and not you. What are you? Some kind of his negotiator? Second, my last revert was a whole different edit, on which there was a note to not remove the "rave" term until the discussion does not resolve that. You added back positive because in your opinion that should have been there instead of "rave", which is again an opinion, against a sourced adjective which explains how critics felt towards the song. Btw, my block log it's from 2009-10 when I was inexperienced and was edit warring about a whole different stuff about what you don't have idea I believe. Maybe I went too far with the 3RR, however, every admin that will make the decision should check Gloss and Chase's revenge behavior and stalking around my edits and articles I create/edit. — Tomíca 21:20, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: not done via formal warning.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page.... The article is very contested. It has been page protected twice for edit warring. We've been to BLPN, RSN, and Fringe Noticeboard. We had an RfC which is currently under review at AN. A situation that calls for a lot of restraint.

• I urged everyone on the Talk page to talk and not edit war here at 00:07, 9 February 2015 and more times in that section.
• to her credit she explained her change on the Talk page here
• to which I replied with a warning to Atsme and everyone not to edit aggressively nor edit war as we are headed to AE here,
• which she edit warred right past in the 3rd dif above.
• and replied on the Talk page with a nasty note

Comments:

Atsme is really on fire today and is not exercising restraint. Clearly over 3RR. Very convinced that she has WP:The Truth. Please block her for a couple of days so she will cool down. Thanks Jytdog (talk) 05:22, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Note - you can expect a lot of fireworks here if behavior patterns bear out and Atsme will defend her edits as upholding BLP; NPOV, and the close of the RfC. She has nonetheless edit warred and violated 3RR. The block is necessary. The article really, really needs restraint and working of DR. You may consider page protecting it, as the editors have been unrestrained. But perhaps a block will help them see the necessity of it. your call, of course. Thanks again. Jytdog (talk) 05:29, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Warning SPECIFICO talk 05:34, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Note, Specifico advised Atsme to follow BRD with regard to her edits at Griffin on her Talk page:

at 23:15, 9 February 2015 here

and at 04:05, 10 February 2015 provided the EW warning to which he linked above. Jytdog (talk) 05:46, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Note, I didn't see the EW warning as Atsme removed it in this dif. Jytdog (talk) 05:43, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

• Also presents a very combative attitude when a user tries to warn Atsme about edit warring as Specifico did . Warnings and behavior were dismissed as test edits and because they were trying to improve the article as Jytdog mentioned with the upholing NPOV/truth comments. Definitely an editor that seems like they intend to keep plowing ahead without getting it, so a block seems very warranted. Kingofaces43 (talk) 05:54, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Groundless allegations, diffs are not edit warring.

I hope the admin who reviews this case takes the appropriate action against the initiators of such a false claim. This is clearly retaliation against me because of a recent RfC that didn't go their way. Jytdog actually tried to bring an action at AN against the closing admin, Nyttend, for edit improprieties not unlike what he is doing here now to me.

1. Jytdog is the one who is on fire. I'm just trying to edit and expand a BLP for GA review.
2. Jytdog clearly admits there was no edit warring and mentions the possibility of a bold edit that would prove helpful.
3. The admin who closed the RfC, Nyttend, stated: Closing as "no". The opposers demonstrate quite well that this is a derogatory characterisation of the guy, a fundamental non-compliance with maintaining a neutral point of view. Of course, something cited to Griffin's own works, wherein Griffin specifically calls himself a conspiracy theorist, is a valid source for saying "self-described conspiracy theorist". Nyttend (talk) 13:48, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Response to the 4 diffs Jytdog listed above - grabbed 4 diffs that are not edit warring - 3 perfectly harmless - 1 to correct a BLP violation

1. edit summary: (→‎Early life, education and career: early career expansion) <---part of the editing I was working on today to expand the article
2. edit summary: (→‎top: remove NPOV tag) <---I removed the NPOV tag after I fixed the BLP violations
3. edit summary: (→‎top: remove redundant link) <---I removed one of my own redundant links
4. edit summary: (Undid revision 646414588 by Jytdog (talk) You do not own the article, I am following the RfC, you edited without consensus, I fixed the NPOV problems in this BLP)
5. Warned Jytdog - abuse of warning templates
6. Warned Specifico - abuse of warning templates

• The following diff shows the amount of prose I added today to correct the BLP violations per the RfC:

1. (Expand lead, modify for compliance with NPOV per RfC close, include inline text attribution to contentious material per BLP policy, added citation for CCF) Note: The diffs above were just a continuation of this main edit.

• I have also been in discussions on the TP before and after my edits:

1. <--Proposal
2. <--Explained expansion and NPOV corrections
3. <--Summary of Jytdog's disruptive behavior

Jytdog is actually the one who was edit warring, and ignoring the BLP issues.

1. (with the dug-in state of the article, please do not be bold. this is going to lead to edit warring and page protection and discretionary sanctions being imposed on us. please let the close review finish. there is no deadline. Thanks.)
2. (there is no consensus for this. AN review is ongoing. discussion on Talk is ongoing and new matter was introduced here not discussed on Talk. patience, please.,)

Thank you for taking time out of your day to review this incident. I am sorry we had to go through it under false pretenses. Atsme☯ 07:30, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

• Now moot – the particular page in question is now under a 1 edit per week restriction. – S. Rich (talk) 08:05, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Hmm. Of course, the page was already under a restriction: no more than 3 reverts in 24 hours. Violations of that restriction should have consequences -- especially when the violator comes in and insists that everything he/she did was justified (i.e., would do it all again). Nomoskedasticity (talk) 10:55, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Srich, please explain why you believe that the new restriction will remedy Atsme's ongoing disruptive behavior on talk and user talk pages? There is unfortunately nothing moot about Atsme's battleground behavior, personal attacks, and denial of basic WP policy. She's failed to respond to advice or warnings, and has become more, not less confrontational, escalating her misbehavior and driving editors off the article over an extended period. At the least, she needs a substantial block for quiet contemplation. SPECIFICO talk 14:51, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

• As I predicted, there were fireworks! With regard to the protection, which is a discretionary sanction....yesterday, an editor from the side opposed to Atsme, Steeletrap, edited aggressively without discussing and getting consensus, which I reverted and I wrote on the Talk page that discretionary sanctions/AE were coming if folks kept editing aggressively and I also made it clear that with all the interested editors, even with nobody breaking 3RR we would end up with page protection/DS/AE if folks edited aggressively. That push died down quickly and Steeletrap had the self-insight to acknowledge that she was wrong later. As Atsme subsequently ramped up her aggressive edits I again warned everybody that they needed to show restraint or they would end up at AE; these first DS are the next step on that road. Atsme persisted anyway and has shown no self-insight here. A block for 3RR is entirely warranted.' The "false allegations" thing she wrote is incorrect as noted by Kingofaces above; i will not lengthen this by responding to that but if a reviewing admin wants, I will do. Thanks again. Jytdog (talk) 13:47, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

• Note, I left a message on the article talk page for admin Callanecc, who has been overwatching the article for a while now, and who imposed the 1R/week DS, so that he/she can review and close, if that is appropriate. (not sure of the intricacies of admin processes here) Jytdog (talk) 14:42, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

• Note, I left notice on Callanecc's page prior to your comments, and he advised me to make a report at AE, which I am doing now. *Jytdog, what you've done here by making false allegations, the links you provided which are clearly not edit warring, the BLP (NPOV) policy you violated at Griffin even after the RfC admin and other editors pointed it out to you, your refusal to acknowledge the RfC and attempt to go after that admin for wrong doing which was as groundless as what you are doing now, not to mention your WP:Forumshopping at AN, RSN, BLPN, and RfC in addition to your WP:SQS and edit warring at Griffin is shameful. Callanecc advised me to initiate an AE. Your behavior to prevent expansion and correction of policy violations at Griffin truly needs an admins attention. You have gone too far. Atsme☯ 14:58, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

I can't make sense out of attacks on Atsme. He didn't edit war. The attacks are so clearly untrue, by this collection of attackers often found together. Correcting policy violations is not edit warring.--Pekay2 (talk) 21:55, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

User has not made any attempts to discuss edits. Prioryman (talk) 14:35, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Comments:

This is pretty much cut and dried; a new editor edit-warring (currently up to 5 reverts in 24 hours) without any prior attempt at discussion, and ignoring warnings. The editor's comments on my talk page show that this is fairly stereotypical nationalist-motivated disruptive editing. Prioryman (talk) 14:34, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Looks like "stern warning" time from here - the warning at 14:28 was given only 6 minutes before the report notification at 14:34 - and at the same moment they appear to have been making an edit on the talk page. we can always WP:BITE but we are more likely to retain new editors if we simply make it clear what the rules are than simply enforcing them at this point. In my opinion, of course. Maybe we should simply lock out all disruptive new editors? Collect (talk) 14:54, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

They've carried out two reverts since the warning. They know perfectly well what they're doing. I rather doubt that this is a wholly new user, either. Prioryman (talk) 15:00, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Comments:

User has violated the 3RR (three reverts in less than 24 hours) and is edit warring, having reverted three different editors, implying probable issues regarding WP:OWN. Warnings have not been given, but a editor of over 5 years with more than 6,000 logged edits should know better. User is not assuming WP:GOODFAITH and is being very argumentative on the talk page, too. Also made a revert on Sunday night, too.  — ₳aron 19:29, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

1. Those 4 edits do not even cover a 24-hour span. 4RR isn't required for one to edit war, but you have been as well (, ), so I'm not sure why you're filing this report. I'll admit I've done too much, and was planning to abstain from the article and allow discussion to take place.

1. I didn't say all 4 were in the 24 hour period, but 3 of them are. So yes, you did violate the 3RR, because you shouldn't be using the maximum of 3.  — ₳aron

1. A talk page discussion is currently taking place, which you only contributed to with this off-topic, personal attack-filled essay, while others have been constructively responding.

1. I left a very constructive and truthful comment about how you are handling this situation and handling yourself.  — ₳aron

1. Administrators should note that Calvin999 regularly collaborates with Tomica, who was recently blocked for blatant 3RR violations at this same article, and this edit – which blatantly disregarded the talk page discussion while instructing me to "open a discussion on the talk page instead" (did that) – seems like a very calculated attempt to "push me over" 3RR (which, again, was not violated).

1. Please find the last time that me and Tomica collaborated. Not this year, I can guarantee that. You and Tomica are both guilty of violating the 3RR rule. Only you can press your revert button, so implying I made you do it is unfathomable.  — ₳aron 23:02, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

That's all I have here; I can admit I'm in the wrong and willing to stop, and hopefully Calvin999 will as well. –Chase (talk / contribs) 19:43, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

This article has been on my watchlist for a long time. Frequently I see inappropriate material appear in the intro of this article, and frequently I revert it without discussing each of those reverts on talk. If the dispute persists, at that point I will bring the matter to talk. I have no knowledge of any conflict or discussion involving Wikidemon and I have not seen the talk page today. No one should be revert warring to introduce contentious material into the introduction of an article before a consensus has developed for inclusion. Gamaliel (talk) 23:13, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

I want to add that this is the first I'm hearing of any of this about an edit conflict between TBSchemer and Wikidemon. I only looked at the most recent edit. If TBSchemer had simply told me to join the talk discussion, if there is one, I would have. Gamaliel (talk) 23:29, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
