Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring

Welcome to the edit warring noticeboard
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. Definition of edit warring Edit warring is a behavior, typically exemplified by the use of repeated edits to "win" a content dispute. It is different from a bold, revert, discuss (BRD) cycle. Reverting vandalism and banned users is not edit warring; at the same time, content disputes, even egregious point of view edits and other good-faith changes do not constitute vandalism. Administrators often must make a judgment call to identify edit warring when cooling disputes. Administrators currently use several measures to determine if a user is edit warring. Definition of the three-revert rule (3RR) An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Violations of this rule normally attract blocks of at least 24 hours. Any appearance of gaming the system by reverting a fourth time just outside the 24-hour slot is likely to be treated as a 3RR violation. See here for exemptions. Sections older than 48 hours are archived by Lowercase sigmabot III.

Comments:
I initiated an edit to correct an error in the article. Subsequently, one, then two editors working in concert attempted to restore the erroneous information. A discussion was initiated at Talk, where I presented the reasons why the information was erroneous. The two editors refused to work collaboratively with me or heed the information given to them, but simply acted to restore the error without a rationale. This is a "slow motion" edit war that does not meet the definition of 3RR, but needs to be resolved nonetheless.Gulbenk (talk) 20:19, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

• I fully protected the article for one week. The three editors are urged to go back to the article Talk page to continue their discussion, and if an agreement is not reached as to the content dispute, other forms of dispute resolution must be tried. All three editors are warned that if after the protection expires, they edit the article without a clear consensus, they risk being blocked without notice.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:41, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

  I am fine with the page being temporarily protected, but I agree with Kire1975's comments below. The reason I haven't been more involved in improving this page is Gulbenk's hostile behavior, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Gulbenk has been squatting on this page for several years, and has a habit of wholesale reverting good-faith edits (from many different editors) in favor of preserving his particular POV. He has refused to provide reasonable explanations for his reverts when asked about them. He is creating a huge hurdle for any article contributors since he has shown he will revert any contributions going against his POV within minutes or hours, post hostile wall-of-text responses demeaning other users' edits on the talk page, accuse editors of pushing a POV or "working in concert" against him like he commented above, and report editors to administration. Both Kire1975 and I got buy in from each other on undoing a couple of his reverts and I welcome feedback from any editors, but Gulbenk refuses to discuss in good faith.

  A recent example is the talk page discussion about his reverting references to mainstream sources discussing possible racial prejudice in multiple jury trials. We have given contemporary and current reliable sources for this including the New York Times, Emory Journal, the Washington Post, the News & Record, and the News & Observer, but Gulbenk is claiming final say over any page edits and refuses to allow any sources that contradict the opinions of these 1980's North Carolina jury trials, saying over and over that the only valid edits are ones that validate the opinion of one of these 1980's juries and that anything that goes against or colors opinions of those juries is illegitimate. North Carolina Man (talk) 21:52, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

• Reply: Gulbenk has a long history of WP:DISRUPTIVE edits on this article, going back well over two years before I started paying attention to it this week. For two days, Gulbenk has lobbied personal attacks against North Carolina Man and myself on the talk page when he does not get his way. This is far from a slow motion edit war. This report is an escalation of his attempts to WP:BLUDGEON the process and make his attacks seem official before someone eventually proposes a WP:TBAN on the topic for him as becomes more and more likely to happen. "The consensus is simply not on his side. Wikipedia discussions are about forming a consensus, not convincing everyone to agree with him." The article's lead alone has seven paragraphs in it, but editors are afraid to change anything in it because Gulbenk is a WP:BRR edit warrior. He's not interested in discussions on the talk page. He is the captain of this page and it's his way or the highway. I have been trying to assume good faith but as anyone who reads the talk page can see, one can only pretend so long. Kire1975 (talk) 01:58, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
• FYI, the second edit [12] that Gulbenk claims above to be an "attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page" is actually an attempt by him to use the talk page as a forum for his own WP:CPP political views. He actually claims in this edit that he would assign the term "domestic terrorism" to at least one of the parties in this dispute. I asked him to read WP:NOTFORUM and stop pinging me, he persists aggressively enough to threaten blocks and sanctions against me and anyone else who disagrees with him, even if we have RSS sources to back up our edits. Kire1975 (talk) 02:28, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
  • Please also note that Gulbenk's reasoning here does not mention what the "error" he decided to declare this war about was, what was "erroneous" about the "information" that he handed down gave out, nor what the "reasons why the information was erroneous" means. He fails to state how he attempted to work "collaboratively" with us. He describes himself only as "giving information." Our rationale for the edit reversion was very clear from the beginning, supported by evidence and stated multiple times. His claims that we don't have one here are malicious and false. It is Gulbenk who is unwilling to collaborate. Kire1975 (talk) 03:00, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

    Thank you Bbb23 for the intervention. I wish I could say that a one week cooling off period holds some hope for mutual agreement. But the three posts (above) by Kire1975 are indicative of the problem. Personal attacks, links to off-topic subjects (not "domestic violence), no discussion on the merits. Gulbenk (talk) 03:26, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

• • • Reply: Gulbenk , you may have submitted a typo. Nothing here has been said or linked to about "domestic violence". I think you must have meant "domestic terrorism" which is very much on-topic. No personal attacks against you have been made. My next edit will be to ask a question about the merits of the case on the talk page. Kire1975 (talk) 03:57, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Earthh has reverted 6 times to try and force a change into the article, reverting three separate editors over this span. Rather than take to the talk page, as numerous users have requested, they insist only on reverting. Toa Nidhiki05 15:33, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

You have been reverting multiple users who object to your edits since March, this is why you were notified for persistently edit warring without using the talk page [21]. This is getting ridiculous.--Earthh (talk) 15:45, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

It is indeed ridiculous that you've reverted six times in a 24-hour span rather than engage on the talk page like you've been asked to. Toa Nidhiki05 15:47, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

I think you meant to link this dif for the 3RR warning on Earthh's talk page, but you linked a dif on the Morbius article instead. Note that Earthh has since removed the 3RR warning from their talk page. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:01, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Much appreciated, ty for the catch. Toa Nidhiki05 16:03, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

I think it's important to note, when reviewing this, that Earthh has previously reported OP for edits on this article. There seems to be an ongoing dispute on content in this article. Not taking sides, but I wanted to include this just as a reference. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:04, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Page protected I agree that Earthh violated 3RR, but they have not edited for two days now, so blocking would be rather superfluous at this point. Daniel Case (talk) 02:35, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

Comments:

I'm reporting this as an uninvolved editor. In the last 24 hours, Kwamikagami has made four reverts, which is in violation of WP:3RR which states An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page—whether involving the same or different material—within a 24-hour period. Discussion between Kwamikagami and @Newimpartial: has been ongoing on Talk:Same-sex marriage for a couple of weeks now with no resolution. I issued Kwamikagami with a 3RR warning, diff above, which they then removed from their talk page [29]. As another editor reverted their fourth revert [30] so I do not know if Kwamikagami intended to self-revert or was ignoring the report. Sideswipe9th (talk) 17:14, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

If I'm reading the timestamps correctly, you warned Kwamigami 10 minutes after edit #4 above, then raised this report without identifying any of K's following edits as edit-warring. Is that right? NebY (talk) 17:37, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

I was filing a bug report with the new section tool, and replying to a comment on another talk page in the time since filing the report. I've not yet caught up on all of the actions in the last ten minutes. However in doing so now, I do agree that there was a fifth revert as identified by Newimpartial and Bbb23 below, that does not appear to have been self-reverted as of yet. Sideswipe9th (talk) 17:42, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

OK, so you went straight from warning to reporting without K making any intervening edits, is that right? It makes the warning seem rather irrelevant if you were going to report anyway, except perhaps that the report asks for a diff of a warning. NebY (talk) 17:50, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Are you serious? This is an experienced editor who knows better (and a former admin, at that) and even after the warnings has continued edit warring on sanctioned articles. PRAXIDICAE💕 17:52, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

I don't see how my last edits were "edit-warring". Two were links that AFAICT are not opposed by other editors, and one was a tag marking the dispute. But I've self-reverted regardless. — kwami (talk) 18:01, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Please see my comment below about the part of your edit that constituted an additional (technical) revert. Also, your other edits were clearly intended to continue the dispute by other means, in article space, after I had started the discussion on Talk. So you were wise to self-revert under the circumstances, IMO. Newimpartial (talk) 18:05, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

I hadn't even seen your discussion yet, and anyway tagging a disputed point is an appropriate way to handle a dispute that is under discussion. Linking WP articles for unclear referents is hardly "continuing the dispute by other means" when you don't dispute the referents! At least, I assume that when you wrote "France proper", what you intended was the topic of our article "Metropolitan France". — kwami (talk) 18:13, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

I believe this is off-topic for the noticeboard, but I have responded to your claim at the article Talk page. In any event, you seem to be missing the point that "being right" isn't a valid pretext for edit war behaviour (except in WP:3RRNO situations, which this manifestly isn't). Newimpartial (talk) 18:20, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

It's not a matter of "being right". I tagged the point you challenged and moved on to cleaning stuff up. If you want to count that as "a pretext for edit war", fine, I've already reverted myself. — kwami (talk) 18:28, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

An editor who resorts to templating an issue in dispute when they "run out of reverts" is a pretty good indicator of WP:EW ideation, or at least WP:BATTLEGROUND behaviour. You have done this now, repeatedly. Newimpartial (talk) 18:31, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Note that the subject for today's activation of Kwamigami is different from the previous occurrence; I have started a Talk page discussion of the new topic here. Newimpartial (talk) 17:17, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Note also that I believe this subsequent edit by Kwamikigami was also technically a revert, though it may not have been intended as one. Newimpartial (talk) 17:23, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

I don't see how that counts as a rv, but I've self-reverted anyway.

Do you actually dispute the links? And does tagging a disputing point count as a "revert" for purposes of 3RR? — kwami (talk) 17:58, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Our edits sailed past each other; please see my reply to your comment below. Newimpartial (talk) 18:02, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, I'd actually forgotten yesterday's edits per BOLD until I checked the 3RR warning. No discussion by BOLD editor at the time. I'm sure there are other ways around this dispute than the existing wording, if the consensus of the past year no longer applies. — kwami (talk) 17:21, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Undoing your most recent revert might be taken as an indication of good faith... Newimpartial (talk) 17:24, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Can't, you already reverted it. — kwami (talk) 17:33, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

That's simply not true; your last 3 consecutive edits constituted the last revert.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:36, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

I'm not seeing that. My last rv was rv'd. My last edits did not touch Newimpartial's wording. AFAICT the links are not part of the dispute, and AFAIK tagging a contested point pending discussion doesn't count as a 'revert'. — kwami (talk) 17:49, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

I believe that re-inserting the word "metropolitan" at the same point in the article - whether or not capitalized and whether or not hidden by a pipe link - technically constitutes a revert. Newimpartial (talk) 18:01, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Okay, perhaps so. I've already reverted that. But note that I used that wording in the link because Metropolitan France is the wording of our article. I suppose I could've linked to a rd in order to avoid that word, but someone would eventually 'fix' it to what I had, so that seems rather pointless. — kwami (talk) 18:02, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

For a former admin, your grasp of the whole "don't edit war" principle seems pretty thin, tbh. And citing BRD as though it were policy in an apparent attempt to excuse your WP:EW and OWN behaviour - as you did here - does not improve the impression you give. Newimpartial (talk) 18:09, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Your claim was that you could revert consensus, and that it was up to the supporter of the status quo to get a new consensus on Talk before reverting you. That's contrary to BOLD, so I thought BOLD was appropriate to cite. — kwami (talk) 18:17, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

You cited BRD, and when I call you on that you now claim consensus for your version. This is precisely what I have asked you for on Talk - evidence of prior consensus - but to no avail. I have not seen any other editors supporting your preferred language for the article, whether in the edit history for the article or in the Talk archive. Newimpartial (talk) 18:24, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

What do you mean "call me out"? You made the change, so per BOLD it's up to you to defend it. This isn't you reverting a recent change, this is you making the change. The wording has been stable for a year. That in itself demonstrates consensus. You've also noted old talk page discussions that use the term you dispute, with no-one objecting to it. That also shows consensus. — kwami (talk) 18:31, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

No. No it doesn't and you know better. If an error remains in an article for 10 years, it doesn't mean it should stay, it means it gets fixed. The same thing applies. PRAXIDICAE💕 18:33, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

That would be true if we were talking about an error, but we're not. We're talking about the best wording. AFAICT there's no dispute about the facts. — kwami (talk) 20:03, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

In the last nine-ten months, several editors have removed the terms in question and you (and only you) have added them back in. That isn't what anyone would regard as "implicit consensus" - more like WP:OWN on your part. But even if you were "right" on the merits, that wouldn't justify your four/five reverts. Newimpartial (talk) 18:36, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

That may be true over the past 9-10 months, but others had done the same before that.

You're correct, that doesn't justify my 4 reverts. My only excuse here is that I honestly forgot that I'd made the same reverts yesterday.

But also on your part, saying that the status quo ante is "ridiculous" doesn't justify your edit-warring. If you want to make a change and it's contested, you should take it to talk, not demand that it remain in the article and that the status quo ante be defended on talk. The fact that someone else had previously made a similar change without discussion doesn't justify you doing the same. You didn't start a discussion until after this 3RR was filed. I'm happy to discuss other wording, my only concern that it be accurate and not misleading. For example, your implication that integral parts of France are not "properly" part of France is problematic, IMO. It would be like saying that Hawaii isn't part of the USA "proper". — kwami (talk) 20:10, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

• Result: No action. Whether due to a self-revert by Kwami or some other means, the 'metropolitan' language originally added by Kwami is no longer in the article. That suggests that the edit war may be over. Other editors don't seem to support Kwami's position on these distinctions so it's a good thing he stopped reverting. Anyone who disagrees with this result should consider WP:DR. In any case, our article on Same-sex marriage in France points out that the law applies to all parts of France including outre-mer.

Comments:

This is for an edit war report, and not 3RR. The IP editor has been reverting against myself and @Izno: to insert an archive URL as a citations primary URL, and then to use a nested archive URL. I've tried asking the editor about this, however the response I've received has been odd. The editor is convinced that Wayback Machine archive links may result in a BLP violation, and so has been insisting on using a nested archive (that is an archive of an archive) to prevent a reader from viewing older or newer revisions of the archived page. I tried to clarify what PAG supported this, however received no response.

After issuing the editor with the edit war warning, I was told to Stay out of the way; you seems haven't grasp the seriousness in terms of handling BLP articles, which sometimes would turn really sensitive. I've attempted to clarify again while writing this report which policy or guideline supports this, only to be told that the editor is invoking WP:IAR and has now changed the link again to use a nested archive of the website urlscan.io. The editor then shortly after removed that comment from their talk page. I'm not sure how else to resolve this as the IP editor seems unwilling to engage further on this issue. Sideswipe9th (talk) 23:52, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Not blocked While he is definitely taking the rope offered him, he hasn't reached the end yet. Since your attempt to discuss he has not edited the article. Let's see where we are at with this in 24. Daniel Case (talk) 04:58, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

@Sideswipe9th: Please read WP:BLPCOI and also Wikimedia resolution on BLP. The gist is competence is required when handling sensitive articles like BLP. You are literally whacking a mountain out of a molehill while admitting that you don't know how to handle those. Furthermore as a fair warning those articles are nominally under discretionary sanctions.2800:A8:A01:A1:35C0:A77E:D72E:23E3 (talk) 15:06, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Leave it to the experienced. Furthermore and bluntly, I think that's logically fallacious to insist that nested archives are not allowed simply because they are not in WP:PAG. I don't know the specific name of the fallacy because it's at the tip of the tongue in this time. 2800:A8:A01:A1:35C0:A77E:D72E:23E3 (talk) 15:11, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Comments:
Karine Jean-Pierre, an American political advisor, made some comments and was criticised for them. Hipal changed the wording to state that she was attacked. Multiple users have raised issues with her comments being downplayed in the article, and the response to her comments being misrepresented, such as implying a physical attack. (See [46], [47], [48], [49].) The question about bias was not helped by Hipal's inflammatory responses contrary to WP:THREATEN and WP:ESDONTS: Toa Nidhiki05 said in the edit summary "Attacked is not a proper wording here, that implies some sort of physical confrontation", to which Hipal responded in the reversion edit summary "another block needed?", (See: [50]), despite not even being an Administrator to issue such a block. I understand Hipal used to be an Administrator, however, so they should know better than to engage in this conduct. An IP said in the edit summary "NPOV. There is no source provided for physical attack. The source provides "President Biden’s incoming White House press secretary has come under attack". Coming under attack isn't being attacked, it's being criticized." (See: [51]), to which Hipal responded "let's get the NOTHERE ip's blocked" (See: [52]), contrary to WP:ACCUSE, WP:AGF and WP:HUMAN. Hipal was informed that they have breached WP:3RR (See: [53]), although their user page claims they hold themselves to 1RR usually (See:User_talk:Hipal). The user has a lot of edits deleting other people's work and reverting their edits, for example, 4 reverts in a row beginning "Undid revision..." for the PragerU article ([54], [55], [56], [57]), although in those cases the reversions were for different pieces of text.

This appears to be a long pattern of behaviour, and struggling with WP:CIVIL: their userpage is all about "drama of all these editors trying to work together with some harmony", "One thing I've tried with a great deal of success is to stop assuming that editors will be civil", etc. Their talk page is about breaches of an ANI moratorium (18), accusing other contributors (19), threatening other contributors (20), edit warring and not coollaborating (21 22, 23, 24, 25), requiring dispute resolution (26, 27), and reverting edits and deleting content without justification 28 29 30, 31 32 33 34 35, 36 37, 38 39). From what it appears, Hipal has a high edit count by deleting the content written by others in good faith, and skipping the use of templates such as {{rs}}, and that has given a sense of hubris to threaten blocks, assume bad faith and make accusations of WP:NOTHERE. This behaviour is entirely unacceptable, but it appears they think that they can get away with it, stating on their userpage "Wikipedia does very little to enforce civility, so we should all expect that some editors here will be incivil".

Hipal should not have breached 3RR, let alone a host of other rules. Please act on this. 86.171.219.109 (talk) 08:30, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Comment: I am the London IP. I've edited Wikipedia for the lat 15+ years and I learned long ago to typically edit obscure and non-controversial articles because I hate the aggression and incivility of some editors here, so I was a little bit shocked when Hipal started deleting large swathes of an article I was working on and trying to order me about. It was disruptive to WP to prove a point -- WP:POINT. No message on the talk page of the article, just being overly WP:BOLD, ignoring point 7 of WP:COOL, so I messaged him/her in accordance with WP:BRD in good spirit. If you question a citation source that is used on over 600 other English Wikipedia articles, you don't need to delete large parts of the article when a reliable sources template would do just fine or, better yet, to actually spend time like other contributors have and do some research themselves to replace sources with better ones. Despite my rather nice message on his/her talk page, I've come to see that I've been accused of WP:NOTHERE and WP:HOUNDING -- that's WP:BULLYing. They are big accusations to throw around without justification, and are totally against WP:GF. As discussed in the above, this person sees interacting on WP as a WP:BATTLE rather than a collaboration and it's inappropriate. An admin, Bishonen, left a message on his/her talk page [58] stating that Hipal was misusing edit summaries, yet Hipal simply continued this conduct, as shown above. Toa Nidhiki05 was similarly confused by the aggression (s)he faced from Hipal. [59] After Hipal stated The revert was a continuation of the edit-warring,[60] rather than stopping the edit warring, (s)he continued with it, making 4 reverts after that, as shown above. My only involvement in that edit war was to come in as an independent third party, review the source material, and reflect in the article what the source stated, and stating that in the edit summary. When my single edit was reverted by Hipal, I did not engage further because I edit WP because I enjoy building something great, not because I want childish squabbles. The page in question has now been protected by an admin, using the wording that I and the many others excluding Hipal determined was consistent with WP:NPOV: criticised, not attacked. 2A00:23C8:4384:FB01:D80D:BD89:4048:812 (talk) 12:41, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Hipal Did not Violate 3RR, he was removing Removing contentious material that is libelous, biased, unsourced, or poorly sourced according to Wikipedia's biographies of living persons (BLP) policy as it is an exception to 3rr Rule. Chip3004 (talk) 16:01, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

The fourth diff is a self-revert. No 3RR violation. NOTHERE made sense in context, as the IP had just made an obviously POINTy edit. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 16:05, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

That last diff is a self-revert, so there's no case based upon those diffs. This is not a venue for addressing other complaints, and editors are expected to make good faith efforts to resolve disputes.

I'm always happy to follow my standard response to such situations, as I've written a the top of my talk page: I am usually open to holding myself to one revert if you think it will help a situation. Just let me know. The article is protected, and we've been making good progress on the article talk page after the disputes were brought up at BLPN, where it first got my attention.

I hope we can get the three ip's blocked, or get them to radically change their behavior. Given the political battleground around the article content, I find that unlikely. ArbEnf doubly applies to the article. --Hipal (talk) 16:11, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your input Chip3004, but Hipal did violate 3RR. The above links show that (s)he replaced the word criticised with attacked, and when it was corrected, (s)he reverted it 4 times. Hipal has been around long enough to know that that's simply not acceptable. It had nothing to do with libel, bias, unsourced, or poorly sourced material -- the source has remained the same throughout. Your defence of this action using generic justifications simply does not hold water. It has been shown that Hipal continued this conduct after admitting it was edit warring, and the only libel is that against all other editors who have been faced with a raft of unseemly allegations against us. An apology would go along way. I don't know Hipal's history with the other users, except to see (s)he is regularly in edit wars, but certainly the allegations against me are baseless and offensive and I did not deserve that. 2A00:23C8:4384:FB01:20BF:1264:A707:C04C (talk) 16:13, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Hipal, your response to all IPs is to suggest that we're blocked. You would do well to read WP:HUMAN. I certainly have done nothing do deserve a block, and have faced continued accusations from you when you tried to start an edit war on another page.

The editor has a long term history of edit warring, without any constructive contribution to the articles on Wikipedia, usually their comments are based on insults, political comments and swear words like this examples [[66]],[[67]], in this instance they also broke 4 RR revert rule even though they got warned on their talk page and reverted by another editor, obviously WP:NOTHERE. Theonewithreason (talk) 08:49 07.June 2022 (UTC)

I have been an editor on English Wikipedia for 15+ years now, making significant contributions primarily to Montenegro-related articles, and have been editing only sporadically lately due to real world obligations and lack of time. However, one thing has been constant throughout my time here - I have been harassed constantly by the clique of Serbian nationalists posing as constructive editors while pushing fringe theories which amount to erasing everything Montenegrin and "serbifying" entire Montenegrin history which they have dangerously limited knowledge on. This particular user is the n-th incarnation of the same pattern, which leads me to suspect that he/she is possibly a sock or reincarnation of one of a number of previously permanently banned like-minded users which tried to present me as unconstructive in the same manner (the latest being Ktrimi991, Sadko, etc. etc). I don't particularly care about this non-issue, and shall not comment further. All you need to know is there is an organised attempt at skewing the Montenegrin history due to sheer number of Serbian nationalist editors active on English wiki, and I have unsuccessfully made an attempt of introducing some NPOV, but seem to be fighting against the windmills here. Cheers. Sideshow Bob 11:34, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

No violation It seems someone has actually responded to the call to open discussion on the talk page, although this is hardly a constructive way to start it.

This brand new SPA has made lots of colorful angry remarks about me over the past couple days, if that's considered relevant (e.g. [83][84][85]). Language skills are certainly an issue but the conduct problem appears to go far deeper. Note that they claim here [86] not to actually be a new user. If so, they should certainly know better. Thanks, Generalrelative (talk) 19:47, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

That's a shame you are trying to get me blocked instead of discussion & resolution. I believe as there's not justice you would be successful in this while since you're not into truth and you not well mannered you will lose finally. That wouldn't be end if it. It's not just me, there are many people out there who believe in justice and truth and discussion. They will teach you, maybe someone like you with no manner.

Plus, FYI yes maybe my English wouldn't be so good, it's not my mother tongue, but making it as a reason for block?! I know 4 languages, and the life is too short for speaking as you would like or didn't see it as a reason for block. Be committed to truth and justice Freethinker6799 (talk) 21:19, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

My official Response Greetings to all. I've lost my account I'm not new. Also supposed I'm new, would it means that I would be the wrong one? Here is the thing. The page under dispute basically is promoting. I've add some criticizing citing daily & others. This user generalrelative removed all due to unreliable sources, as well as tracked down all my activities in two other articles and get them all deleted! I add another source and the original tweet link, again removed on the ground of unreliable sources. Ive tried a couple of times to resolve this dispute no gain, user deleted all messages on thier talk page, when you go there is nothing, for they are in edit history. I brought the problem to dispute resolution, third opinion and cried for help to other admins no gain. What I've deleted is due to unreliable sources were referred to guardian, independent etc. As the user @generalrelative insist on that newspaper aren't reliable I said ok you didn't lett me add daily mail so I'm editing the page removing contents based on news agencies for making it a neutral page, unpromotional page. They wouldn't accept it either. Instead of discussion trying to get me blocked. That's situation Regards Freethinker6799 (talk) 20:16, 7 June 2022 (UTC) P.s: clearly @generalrelative doing as a fan or something, I want the page be neutral, scientific, have all criticisms and stuffs. If it's ok to put content from guardian should be ok for me to add from daily mail. No doubt. Also, user before try to discuss it with a good way now trying to silence me, but it's not bad, it brings attention to the problem, I hope people could see it. Finally, people are going to die for the truth and freedom, so do I, frightening by blocking wouldn't stop me from holding truth and scientific neutrality. (Plus, so sorry to use title card but I've also going to hold a Ph.D in Humanities by a few months. Don't think that's based on ignorance. Sorry again) Freethinker6799 (talk) 20:23, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

@Freethinker6799: As is noted in the discussion on the talk page, the Guardian is a reliable source, as is the BBC, while the Daily Mail is not (see WP:DAILYMAIL). I'm looking at your talk page, and you requested a third opinion before any discussion was held on the article's talk page (or at least, you failed to link to it). So there's certainly the appearance that you tried to bludgeon material into the article, and when you couldn't, you removed sourced material to make a point. —C.Fred (talk) 20:26, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Appears to be a case of WP:COMPETENCE. User has been repeatedly warned about edit warring, no comprehensible content discussion was sought on the article talk page; instead, more edit warring. Attempts to politely educate them about reliable sources seem to have been unsuccessful. Throast (talk | contribs) 20:27, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

@Throast it maybe anything while my intention wasn't war or competence. Yes I tried a lot, wasn't successful because the other part wasn't inclined to participate. I failed in bring it on third opinion, yes, true, because that's the first time such a thing happened. I edited many articles no problems brought on, with my previous account I lost. While it was disagreements we solved it. This time was different and I am thinking there's not any fairness and justice here. If you're trying to justify blockage go on please it would be under freedom of speech, fairness, justice, etc however by Nero's fist c/o Tacitus Freethinker6799 (talk) Freethinker6799 (talk) 21:03, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

@Freethinker6799: I'm going to recommend against playing the "freedom of speech" card. Freedom of speech on Wikipedia means there is no law that keeps Wikipedia from writing policies that allow us to block people for misconduct on this private server. —C.Fred (talk) 21:14, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

@C.Fred you clearly determined your side, I'm not talking about freedom of speech for articles, but about instead of discussion, @Generalrelative trying to get me blocked. Isn't it related to? Or maybe that my English isn't sound like native, so I should be blocked. Freethinker6799 (talk) Freethinker6799 (talk) 21:30, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

C.Fred dear friend Yes I did, I left messages on @Generalrelative no achievement, then I seek third opinion, then seeking dispute resolution, then personally invite people to take part, in my contribution you can find them. Also it's stated guardian blogs aren't reliable, that part is from bookpart, independent isn't reliable.

Writing to him directly is not the same as discussing it on the article's talk page. The latter gets viewed by more users.

I haven't looked at the Independent's reliability lately. Nowhere did you state that the Guardian material (or the BBC material, for that matter) was from blogs. —C.Fred (talk) 21:14, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

I'm not into school people by force while I appreciate if you see it a little impartial, neutral. If you was me what would you do? I tried all options I had. Now youre accusing me on revenge or something. It's not fair. Not true. If you be fair in this case would be great. Freethinker6799 (talk) 20:54, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

You'll notice I haven't taken any action against you, because I'm hoping that you (continue to) discuss the situation at the article's talk page and reach some consensus about it. —C.Fred (talk) 21:14, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Please slow down Freethinker6799. This battleground approach will not get you anywhere. As I explained earlier, if you can't reach consensus, you'd better start an RFC or DRN. But alas, you have decided to go in a different direction. And now I'm really afraid that you'll have a hard time after this revert. Thanks. Dr.Pinsky (talk) 21:20, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

@Dr.Pinsky Dear, I'm having hadd time not because of that but because of the fact that truth and justice don't mean anything apparently.

Or maybe this fact that I'm responding to all of you it's not a good idea, the opposite part clearly chose silence.

Yes you said, I took your advice put notice and invitation to discuss, after that there were many reverts, not just me, others also participated. If wrong, wrong for all.

Additionally, how you would feel if someone wanted you to be cut because of language skill? But, I did see your kind and sweet attitude, thanks for it. Freethinker6799 (talk) 21:27, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

@C.Fred No problem with continue it in talk page with participation of those who are here .

Well I wasn't about to say you tooke measures against anyone, but while clearly there's a small percentage of false reporting why you didn't notice other party actions into assessment?

Freethinker6799 (talk) 21:40, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

@Freethinker6799: That's a non-issue here. You were reverted by multiple editors, so none of them case close to violating WP:3RR. You were the only one in peril of that. —C.Fred (talk) 10:56, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

• Comment Since the edit warring behaviour has stopped, no action is necessary at this time. I trust that Freethinker6799 will not engage in future edit warring, so no actions will be necessary in the future, that they will review WP:RS, and that they will clearly explain their concerns with specific sources rather than doing a blanket removal of "all newspapers" or the like. —C.Fred (talk) 11:02, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

  @C.Fred greetings. I liked to add something but we'll talk later. Whenever an escalated situation comes to a peaceful end, makes me happy, including this one. No, absolutely I'm not into edit warring or any kind of cyber aggression towards people.about guardian I've many things to prove they're not reliable. I saw that page by chance, while I know all of them, so I just added what I had in my mind, then things got weird. Yes, perhaps I should give it a Time & meanwhile I'll search for more reliable sources, then we may discuss it.

  Anyway, you expressed trust in me, I've to say I'm flattered. Looks like I'm talkative, so, that's it. Best regards. Freethinker6799 (talk) 02:22, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

This is a spill over from the dispute at Balhae. Many if not most of Zessede's edits are pushing for an ultranationalist agenda on controversial topics with false citations that do not verify the source. When pointed out the editor first calls Korean and western sources cited by others "Chinese", and then makes personal attacks on other editors, using slurs such as "wumao".

Comments:

The 10:45 and 10:46 edits are consecutive, so they count as just one for the purposes of 3RR. Still a 5RR situation. In response to a request to revert, they indicated their familiarity with BRD, but that does not appear to have stopped them from repeatedly restoring their disputed changes without building consensus at the talk page.

Now at 6RR. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 13:18, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

@Firefangledfeathers It's a completely unrelated change and you know it. Ergzay (talk) 13:22, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

But just to document it for clarity, that source was removed because the source contains no reference to the content before it. It's simply an unrelated factoid about a company that Elon is CEO of. By putting it there it tries to tell the reader that Elon is personally responsible for spreading COVID all across his company despite the company having very well documented mask requirements and covid protection policies. Ergzay (talk) 13:33, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

This is demonstrable false. The source removed in the sixth revert supports the "not at risk" quote. It's a reliable source from more than a year later, demonstrating lasting coverage. Addressing your "completely unrelated" comment, 3RR applies to reverts "whether involving the same or different material". You're an experienced user who has previously been given an admin warning for edit warring. Is this a misunderstanding or a disagreement with the policy? Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 14:16, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

@Firefangledfeathers How does it support the "not at risk" statement? SpaceX having an epidemic (which companies were having all over this country) is not indicative or relevant of Elon Musk's personal risk. Also I have never received a warning for edit warring before. Ergzay (talk) 00:57, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

You said "the source contains no reference to the content before it". That's not true, as source you removed says Musk "made headlines last year for initially resisting getting vaccinated against the disease, saying in a New York Times podcast that "I'm not at risk for COVID, nor are my kids." And you received an EW warning from EdJohnston in this 2018 message. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 01:11, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

@Firefangledfeathers misrepresents the situation to his own advantage as I propose multiple alternative edits of adding information that he reverts every time I add the information. No version is acceptable no matter how I source it or write it as it violates his personally held beliefs in his hatred for Elon Musk. He has shown no interest in discussion and just threats of 3RR and then noticeboard action. Ergzay (talk) 13:15, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Your allegations about my personally held beliefs are unfounded and untrue, as are your claims about the reasons for my edits. If you'd like to remove that part of your comment, you can remove this comment of mine if no one else has yet responded (see WP:MUTUAL). Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 13:18, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

I don't beleive Ergzay is here to build an encyclopedia. All they do is revert, bludgeon and revert. Schierbecker (talk) 01:32, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

Comments:

• There was an effort to reason with them on their talkpage and help them understand that the content they are removing, shouldn't be removed from the article, but problem for me is that, in their arguments, they are distorting the meaning of the removed content, so that they justify their removal in the first place; a characteristic pattern I have seen on POV warriors. Checking this user, I can't help but note that it has characteristics of a WP:SPA; a totally new account with 0 edits, yet appears to be an experienced user, who chose, for their first edit an article of a sensitive topic area, to edit war upon, violating the 3RR, not trying to WP:BRD and ignoring my call for WP:CONSENSUS before attempting to reinstate their edits. During my efforts to reason with them on their talk page, they threatened me that I "will regret it", [111] which is unacceptable and made me realize that this user may WP:NOTHERE, hence filling this ANI report. --- ❖ SilentResident ❖ ^{(talk ✉ | contribs ✎)} 16:30, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Comments:

• Please note that they kept ignoring me and editing after I started a talk page discussion and pinged them twice. When they finally replied (after cleaning their talk page history, see diff and diff), they pretended not to understand the concerns and reverted while accusing me "vandalism" (see edit summary). M.Bitton (talk) 01:31, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
• Also, judging by their edit history, their POV pushing with regard to Western Sahara and the concerned article goes back as far as 2015, with some of the sources that they are tagging today being there ever since. M.Bitton (talk) 01:46, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
• The OP is complaining mainly in this report about my addition of the template and in this section (https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=&diff=1092218029&oldid=1092063420&diffmode=source}}, M.Bitton and several activist editors have been putting extremely questionnable and non factual informations about several section on the Page: Political status of Western Sahara (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs), by not only refusing to provide more than one independent source in the several claims that they are presenting and relying exclusively on just one which is the SPSRASD website, a website fully controlled by the belligerent force Morocco is fighting in Western Sahara which is the Polisario front , and with many articles that are no different than North Korean propaganda as you can all see here (https://www.spsrasd.info/news/en/articles/2022/06/08/40015.html an article written by the Polisario with completely wild statements that aren't verifiable by any third party independent sources same for these ones https://www.spsrasd.info/news/en/articles/2022/05/29/39909.html or this one https://www.spsrasd.info/news/en/articles/2022/05/08/39543.html and many others. Various wild informations about "heavy human and material losses" currently taking place, that no media either in Morocco, Europe, Asia or anywhere in the world for the that matter have confirmed). As for the last section of his complaint "Diffs of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:" I have already answered them (verifiable in the Talk:Political status of Western Sahara - Wikipedia) so they are clearly lying. M.Bitton in that Talk section have been asking me useless rhetorical questions when Wikipedia is supposed to be a source of factually and accuracy (i.e multiples independent AND reliable sources), but M.Bitton seems to be failing to see the difference between an opinion and a fact backed by multiple independents sources , such as his useless rhetorical questions here: "::::Do you, or anyone for that matter, doubt that countries such as Algeria and South Africa support SADR?M.Bitton (talk) 01:00, 9 June 2022 (UTC) (Editing Talk:Political status of Western Sahara - Wikipedia) instead of putting themselves in the shoes of the potential reader who might be potentially misled, and failing to provide more than one source that is at the very least reliable. This report is nothing more but an attempt to discredit me without providing any proof and lying on top of it. They have been trying to revert my edits with that have the tag pretending that it's just a dead link here (https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Political_status_of_Western_Sahara&diff=1092233629&oldid=1092232732&diffmode=source) when in reality it's just a completely invented source (this is the reference number 59 mentioned in the article "https://www.un.org/News/Press/docs/2013/gaspd528.doc.htm%7Cpublisher=UN Department of Public Information • News and Media Division • New York" (you can verify it by pretty much just replacing anything that comes after https://www.un.org/News/ in this link by any word the "/org" "https://[www].[un].[org]/[insert word]" which will give the same result which is ERROR 404 and therefore artificially create a source and pretend that it's just a "dead link" ) a tactic used multiple times like here as well in the "States supporting Polisario and the SADR on Western Sahara" reference 125 (https://www.un.org/News/Press/docs//2012/gaspd507.doc.htm ). Some references added such the ref number 154 ({{cite web |title=DPRK Diplomatic Relations |url=https://www.ncnk.org/resources/briefing-papers/all-briefing-papers/dprk-diplomatic-relations) do not even mention neither the Polisario or the Sahraoui Arab Democratic Republic if you use the command ctrl+f in your browser which imply that there is quite a lot of false info in this section that I have been warning about hence the two tags "unreliable source" and "better source" needed Tsarisco

And regardless of whether the source is reliable or not (it is not, as it is a press organ controlled by the Polisario that writes many fake news articles such as here https://www.spsrasd.info/news/en/articles/2022/06/08/40015.html without any additional media confirming the various events on the ground and claims presented, same for these ones https://www.spsrasd.info/news/en/articles/2022/05/29/39909.html or this one https://www.spsrasd.info/news/en/articles/2022/05/08/39543.html and many others. Various wild informations about "heavy human and material losses" currently taking place, that no media either in Morocco, Europe, Asia or anywhere in the world for the that matter have confirmed)), one should always at least try to confirm statements through multiples additional independent media, hence why I added (One source|section) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tsarisco (talk • contribs) 02:42, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

And I have added multiple sources that are completely independents from both Morocco and the Polisario front to add more factuality and accuracy in order to resolve the issue related to the tags "This section's factual accuracy is disputed" of the article, such as theses sources that took me hours to find them all such as ) and Tsarisco

and sources that I have taken directly from the UN website such here and many many others over the course of multiple weeks... You can see all my added sources here (https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Political_status_of_Western_Sahara&diff=1089733130&oldid=1089718424&diffmode=source), here (https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Political_status_of_Western_Sahara&diff=1092226247&oldid=1092222393&diffmode=source) and here (https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Political_status_of_Western_Sahara&diff=1089714417&oldid=1089710902&diffmode=source Tsarisco
