Welcome to the edit warring noticeboard |
---|
This page is for reporting active edit warriors and recent violations of restrictions like the three-revert rule.
You must notify any user you have reported. You may use
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.
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. |

Time report made: 03:16, 22 October 2006 (UTC) User:Uknewthat has been previously blocked for WP:3RR on two occasions and blocked once for disruption. His entire edit history consists of adding POV and OR material to the Global Positioning System and Hafele-Keating experiment and his edits are the reason why these articles are currently semi-protected.

Comments:
- The user has been already blocked for 3RR violation
- The comment of his 4th and last edit was (rv) this is my third and last reversion, for today
- The revert is quite trivial
- Yep, that's a violation and 12 hour block. Unfortunately for Panarjedde, he/she has also reverted 4 times in there and gets 12h as well. Stifle (talk) 20:58, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- That's a second violation (the first was a 24h block) and deserves a 12h block. Unfortunately for Panarjedde, he reverted 4 times in 48h, so he deserves a 12h block too. Thanks.--Panarjedde 12:40, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- I make no comment on the first one, but Panarjedde, sarcastic as he may be, is completely right, I goofed and apologise. Stifle (talk) 21:39, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Time report made: 23:28, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Comments: Started off as an IP user 71.194.175.20 claiming that an e-mail from the user led to the firing of Mike Malloy but offered no other explanation or citation. In addition the user added Rush Limbaugh links to the page. The user registered a user account and went on again to put Rush Limbaugh links on the page in addition to the revert. After that the user reverted multiple times as above and added a rant as of the 4th revert. I wrote on his talk page that the commentary belonged on the talk page. The user then proceeded to revert on the article page and add the same edit to the talk page. The user has shown no intent on cooperating and thinks that the rant is sufficient reason and rationale for the edits. Gdo01 23:28, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
In addition the article currently needs a revert since I am also on the verge of violating 3RR.Gdo01 00:10, 23 October 2006 (UTC)The user has reverted again with the rationalle that the edit has to remain until there is a decision. As above, a revert is again needed.Gdo01 00:58, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Comment - I have also participated in reversion of this article, and have removed Capsource's edits now 3 times today, and am against my own 3R cap. I have also started and explained patiently on his talk page about the guidelines that make his edits improper. I hope someone can help here. Debivort 01:05, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Comments: Procedural note - two reports on this matter were submitted nearly simultaneously by me and Tbeatty, they are consolidated here. GabrielF 05:03, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- This is a dispute over a user page, and an extremely controversial one at that. It co-ordinates editors with a particular outlook for AFD snowballs, which I can't differentiate from vote-stacking. The whole situation is really ironic, since the usual snowball swarm has now turned into a revert swarm of someone posting an article that you'd think they'd want to AFD. Anyway's I'm not even sure 3RR applies outside of article space, much less on a subpage of user talk page. At the least, Tbeatty's call for a LONG ban is inappropriate, unless he is referring to himself, in which case I fully endorse it. This is really a matter to be settled at RFC or at the Village Pump. Derex 05:47, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- User:Derex has decided to inject himself by repeating the reverts and not not signing them. Violating WP:POINT and disruption by trying to continue a revert war. --Tbeatty 06:16, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- Special:Contributions/Derex is quite an interesting read. It should be noted that Derex has somehow been previously involved. Tuxide 06:30, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- What's interesting about it? I hadn't ever made an edit to that page at the time of this report. I do have strong feelings about the page, which I would think is pretty clear from my comments. So, what's your implication? If you've got something to say, I'd prefer you'd be clear. Derex 09:01, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'd tend to agree -- doesn't seem entirely pertinent to the matter at hand. I've been wrong before, but I don't think Derex is going to break 3RR anytime soon. Luna Santin 09:08, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- My implication was not whether Derex will violate 3RR (I have no reason to believe he ever did) but to question the validity of Derex's above comment. It is obvious that there are two parties here that just don't seem to like getting along with each other. In my opinion, the only clear, well-defined rule concerning behaving on Wikipedia is obviously WP:DICK, with policies like WP:3RR, WP:CIVIL, etc. that are just there to help people interpret it. I believe there's more to this than just a simple 3RR incident and what is being discussed here; therefore it is with much consideration that I believe this should've been brought up on WP:WQA instead of WP:AN/3RR. Tuxide 00:49, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- Sure, I think that's along the lines of what I was thinking, too -- there's obviously more going on here than a little 3RR. an RfC might be healthy, possibly MfD -- or hey, even the Mediation Cabal works. Things seem to have calmed down a bit, which I think is good for all parties; ideally, this little incident prompts discussion and eventually leads to a resolution of some sort to stop the bickering. There've been some interesting points and concerns raised by a few parties, here, so finding a good forum to explore them doesn't seem like a horrible idea. Luna Santin 00:57, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- Tuxide, thank you for clarifying. I think from my comment it was entirely clear that I had issues with the reverted page, and your diff points to a heated response to baiting over the same matter. Note that the diff also explicitly credits the complainant here, GabrielF, with good faith about the page in question. At any rate, yes the issue is broader than this, and NBGPWS was clearly reverting to make a POINT. I thank you being explicit, as a dismissive wave towards my general edit history seemed to imply that I'm a troll to be ignored, instead of an editor for over two years with over ten-thousand edits on hundreds of pages on dozens of topics. Derex 01:06, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

User is disrupting a page in my userspace to make a point. GabrielF 04:45, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- Note GabrielF brought this up on IRC before going to WP:AN/3RR. Although we weren't able to reach consensus over if 3RR applied to user subpages, within good faith I believe (if I'm interpreting WP:3RR#Reverting pages in your user space correctly) that 3RR indeed applies to user subpages that are not "yours" (project-related-wise). Nevertheless, apart from 3RR, NBGPWS was being flat-out uncivil in this incident. Tuxide 06:30, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
NBGPWS (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has a long history of disruption and reverts. His last block was for 1 week. This is a form of disruption and not just reverts of content. A LONG ban is called for.--Tbeatty 04:52, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
On the one hand, this is a 3RR violation, and probably a WP:POINT problem. When I suggested a more productive means of resolving the dispute -- namely, MfD -- I was ignored in favor of continued disruption. On the other hand, it's out of article space. I'm not opposed if anyone cares to review this, but for the time being I've given NBGPWS a 24 hour block for continued disruption and edit warring. Luna Santin 07:31, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

- As seen from talk, what you and your friends are doing is making unwarranted edits to the article. Then when myself or another editor come in and revert, you folks punch back in the questionable edit, thereby trapping us in a 3RR rule. This mornings 3RR violation by WarHawk was caused by you. Even a notable editor JBKramer was almost caught by it until he reverted himself for an attrocious edit of yours that he removed. So, in this case, the 3RR were required and warranted Supreme_Cmdr(talk) 16:38, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Hmmm, how are we going to allow you to decide what is warranted? You are not trapped into 3RR by a yone but yourself. I've made this 1 week since last time was 72h; others feel free to review if thats felt a bit high William M. Connolley 17:19, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- It was a bit low by my feeling, but I think if Supreme_Cmdr doesn't lay off the Derek Smart article he's going to find himself before ArbCom in quick order. Stifle (talk) 21:37, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
User:William Mauco reported by User:MariusM (Result:)
Three-revert rule violation on Transnistria (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). William Mauco (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log):
- Previous version reverted to: 22 oct 15:34

- 3rd revert: 23 oct 03:57
- 4th revert: 23 oct 16:49
- Necessary only for new users: A diff of 3RR warning _before_ this report was filed here. Not a new user. However, I warned him: [38]
Time report made: 20:33, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Comments: User:William Mauco is a supporter of Transnistrian separatist government and he is pushing his POV through entire Wikipedia in Transnistria-related articles, where he want to have "veto" rights. In this particular case, he wanted to deny or to hide the fact, proven even by official Transnistrian site, that the majority of the leaders of separatist government are not native transnistrians (deleting also a refference to official EU site that he claims is not reliable), and to add a link at an online newspaper (Tiraspol Times) where himself is a collaborator see the end of article. 1st, 2nd and 4th reverts were about the problem of nativeness of transnistrian leadership, 3rd revert was about adding the link to "Tiraspol Times" with the misleading comment that consensus was reach 4 against 1. In fact, there were 4 editors (Me, User:EvilAlex, User:Bogdangiusca and User:Illythr) who express doubts against Tiraspol Times link and from those who support that link there are 2 with conflict of interest: User:MarkStreet (self declared editor of Tiraspol Times, as his user page) and User:William Mauco (writer for Tiraspol Times [39]). For 3rd revert, as previous version will qualify this: 20 oct 18:38--MariusM 20:33, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- Misleading. Apart from the slurs and personal attacks, I wrote one (1) single, unpaid guest column on an OpEd page for an online newspaper. What that has to do with this particular 3RR, I don't know. I certainly wasn't pushing "my" column and the edits listed are not about the newspaper, so I don't see a conflict of interest. As for the reverts in question, one was just cleaning up after a vandal. And why are there two (2) previous versions here? One on 20 October and another on 22 October? - 07:51, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Later adition: edit warrior User:William Mauco is continuing the edit war with his 5th revert: 23 oct 21:36--MariusM 22:03, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- Not in the same 24H period. Besides, in the end, the correct phrasing got agreed upon in Talk, and the issue is now behind us. At the current time, we have consensus on the proper sentence for the article. - Mauco 07:51, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- Technically, both sides should get a block for this. Both sides have violated the spirit of 3RR (although there may be some technical loopholes), and the edit wars seem to be ongoing, even if they are temporarily solved. The solution should be mediation, since I really don't believe blocking the users, or page protection, will solve this. Due to this, I'm not applying a block on anyone at the moment. 3RR and admin action is always open to you, but I really do recommend that you try solving it in a non-punitive way, since this won't solve the root of the dispute. Thanks,

- Excellent point, Ronline: "The solution should be mediation". I tried twice this solution with Mauco, but he disagreed [40], [41]. What can be done when facing such a disruptive behaviour, unwilling to compromise?--MariusM 11:39, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- If the user is unwilling to compromise, then mediation should be tried again. As a mediator, I will gladly take on this case, and ensure that Mauco complies with the spirit of dispute resolution at Wikipedia. But for that to happen, all personal attacks and a general spirit of division and bickering needs to stop.

- I am absolutely certain that this is not a problem, Ronline. You know me: I didn't want to make this back-and-forth more polemic than it is already is, so I try to not to respond to some of the things said about me here. However, it should be noted that my objection to mediation in the cases mentioned (which involves the same user, but different pages) is not an objection to mediation in general, but to a very specific and narrow case where he didn't bother to follow any of the recommendations in WP:DR first. If anything, I am hoping that I can teach this colleague how to be a better wikipedian and maybe pay a bit more attention to the policies and the guidelines first. That would be good for all of us, myself included. - Mauco 18:22, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

- While I regret reporting such a new user, their behavior is patently disruptive, adding blatant POV into an article; two editors have calmly tried to talk them out of this, but all edit summaries and talk messages have been completely ignored.

Comments: This is the first time that I ever report anyone for 3RR, although I have had plenty of opportunities to do so in the past. We currently have some serious differences of opinion (content disputes) on Transnistria. The page is controversial, and fortunately some editors (like User:MarkStreet) deliberately limit themselves to only edit in Talk, in order to seek consensus and let others handle mainspace edits. However, representing the opposite view, there are a couple of users[47][48] who have teamed up to collaborate in active and deliberate edit-warring in mainspace. When one of them comes close to breaching 3RR, the other takes over.[49] This is a daily pattern now. This has been going on for a while. One of them has even admitted to loving edit wars,[50] and engaging in them out of boredom.[51] The other has enlisted him to participate in circumventing 3RR[52] and has then covered up the evidence of that afterwards.[53] For these types of activities, they communicate in a foreign language which they share[54], and for other things - which is not disruptive - they communicate in English[55]. In addition to using a foreign language to coordinate their 3RR circumventions, they also use private email, in order to make it harder for admins to determine what is going on.[56][57] When done, they remove the evidence of this coordination, too.[58] - Mauco 08:05, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- Please note: In the above report, I am only reporting one of the two users, who alone has four reverts within a 24 hour period. If I had added also the reverts of the other member of the edit-warring team, then the number of violations would of course increase. - Mauco 08:27, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- No previous warning. Mauco is a well known edit-warrior, he started his activities at Wikipedia engaging edit wars with veteran users, in order to push propaganda for Russian chauvinistic Transnistrian government. I reported him 4 times for 3RR rule (he is the only one against whom I made such reports), but administrators were lenient with him in 3 cases [59], [60], [61] and 1 case is still pending [62]. In this particular case I was trying to remove plain fallacies from Wikipedia: it was claimed, by Mauco's edits, that Ethnic Moldovans are well represented in the leadership of Transnistria and that the majority of Transnistrian leaders are native born, while the refference given (the official biographies of the members of transnistrian parliament) prove exact the contrary (The majority is not native). Removing such plain fallacies is something that others editors have done as well, there is no place for conspiration theories here. Great minds think alike :-). I never before broke 3RR, he drove me to do this as he broke the rule himself and my previous attempts to enforce that rule on him were not taken in account by administrators, that gave me the feeling that this rule don't exist, the mood of administrators is more important than the rule. As I didn't received a previous warning, it will not qualify for a block.--MariusM 08:59, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- First of all, could you please stop reporting each other? This is an edit war that involves both sides. Since the edit war seems to be ongoing, the convention is that both sides should be warned or blocked. I personally don't believe in 3RR blocking, so I'm not going to block anyone. But I don't see how tit-for-tat 3RR reporting helps anyone. The point is that an edit war is going on that needs to be solved. Blocking for technical 3RR offences isn't going to help solve that, it's simply going to defer the problem. I do, however, issue a strong warning to User:EvilAlex and User:MariusM for what appears to be a form of collusion and "meatpuppeting". In particular, stealthy messages in Romanian calling on each other to revert really hinders the dispute resolution process, since it removes trust and also creates a situation where a complex content dispute is transformed into a clearly-deliniated and rather aggressive dispute between two discrete sides. My recommendation, particularly to MariusM and EvilAlex, is that you stop seeing the other side as "hostile and evil" (not quoting here) and hence necessary to outdo them at all costs. Try to understand, rather than to attack.

- Ahem, this is highly ... Misleading. For every edit in mainspace on this matter there are 8 or 9 edits in Talk, in an attempt to seek consensus. This is hardly "vandal" behavior, as the edit log and edit summaries can show. Moreover, no mediation was sought in this matter. The user is misleadingly referring to two DIFFERENT articles, both of them old, where mediation was declined by me for the simple reason that the other, prior attempts at dispute resolution had NOT been followed first. Instead of following WP:DR, he went straight to formal mediation, something which I 'and WP:DR have a problem with because there are a series of methods which can and should be tried first. In summary: Neither of us are vandals or trolls. I am not, and he is not. There is a heated edit conflict and it seems that someone takes it personal at times, that is all. - Mauco 22:37, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- I refrained myself in editing Wikipedia for 24 hours (in fact, it was around for around 40 hours - from 25 Oct 16:59 to 27 October 09:36) and I hope Mauco will do the same, either voluntarily or through an enforcement of 3RR rule imposed by administrators (I wonder why they are not doing their job, a 3RR report was filed against Mauco in 23 October and no decision was yet made).--MariusM 09:46, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Comments: This report is not of a true violation of 3RR (no 4th revert in 24 hours). RalphLender has been waging a revert war against me. He is under current investigation [71] for being a sock-puppet with others who are also engaged in (and winning) this revert war. I believe this is the first time in this revert war that I have even reached 3 edits (and never four), despite considerable provocation (removal of legitimate editing tags) by the other side. If my editing conduct warrants, I would appreciate comment and guidance from an administrator. If not guilty of a 3RR, I would appreciate having Lender's entry on my talk page removed.

(The mediation, as one can see from the citation made above, was not about the Bowlby page, I was not a party, and the mediator was pushing to merge it with non-existent mediations.) I only mentioned the sock-puppetry above because it bears on the revert war being waged against me, and it may warrant investigation. Larry Sarner 08:39, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Comments: Isarig's behaviour in this regard has been very disruptive. I was happily editing the article in toto (badly in need of major revisions) before he came along and repeatedly reverted my well-sourced additions to an interpretation (his) unsupported by the citations I had placed there after he requested that I find sources for my statements. This edit war has hindered any further progress in the development of that article. On a closing note, please forgive any errors in the filling out of this report. It is the first time I read about 3RR and file a report. Thank you for your time and your services to the community. Tiamut 00:52, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- Bogus report, which I don't know if we should attribute to the fact that this is a newbie user who does not understand 3RR, or if this is a personal attack by an editor who can't make a case for his edits on Talk, and has instead decided to try to use 3RR to silence me. In any case: [1] is not a revert. [2] is not a revert, but a 2nd consecutive edit by me, to my own version. The stretch is over a period of 6 days, during which I had not made a single edit in 3 of the 6 dyas, while Tiamut has made as many, if not more reverts to the same article. There is not a single instance there of 3 reverts in 24 hours, let alone 4.Isarig 02:31, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Revert #3 above also broke a reference link that had been corrected, which may indicate a lack of review of the diff before committing the revert.

Comment by Tbeatty A) this is a BLP issue and B) I self reverted my 4th edit. 20:11, October 25, 2006 before this was filed which makes this a non-violation. --Tbeatty 03:48, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Comment by Sparkhead A) Not a BLP issue. If it were, note WP:3RR regarding BLP states: "Err on the side of caution: do not repeatedly remove material you consider defamatory unless it is blatant". Name of a person involved in an event who isn't the subject of BLP and is given in referenced sources doesn't seem defamtory, much less blatantly defamatory. B) WP:3RR regarding self reverts of a violation don't guarantee avoidance of a block. I feel the past edit history in this article is particularly relevant. Either way, the administrators now have all the information and they, as always, will rule on it. *Sparkhead 04:03, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
There are at least 2 other editors who believe it should be removed as a BLP issue as it adds no value and invades privacy. Regardless, I reverted my 4th revert after realizing I had missed the 4 revert window by 1 minute. Per the policy If you've broken 3RR by mistake and now realise it, or if another user has left you a talk page note pointing out that you've broken 3RR, then you can self-revert your change back to the "other version". In general, this should be enough to prevent you being blocked (though there are no guarantees). I have done this. --Tbeatty 05:04, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Self revert is good enough, of course William M. Connolley 08:18, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello, person wrongly charged reporting. Let me be the first to say that the first two clamed reverts are reverts, pure and simple. However, the third is not a revert, as I was changing the data of what I had reverted to. I just didn't get a chance to finish it for a few hours as I had to leave my computer and didn't know it had been reverted until I tried to save it. Compair those two and you'll see what I changed. The fourth isn't a revert, again if you compair them you will see this to be true, but a complete overhaul of the data to merge to the two styles being "discussed". JQF 18:58, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Three-revert rule violation on Al Gore III (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Getaway (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log):
- Previous version reverted to: [108]

- 3rd revert: 19:07, 27 October 2006
- 4th revert: 19:11, 27 October 2006
Heated discussion has been occuring on talk page. Getaway's position is that traffic violations and birthdays belong on this page. Rough consensus by any count has gone against user, and while he or she has one ally, the rest of the discussion has not been distinguished for its collegial tone. Accused of personal attacks, for my part, I have reported myself. BusterD 20:06, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
- My final comment is that when the discussion reached attention of admin, the user failed to back up his accusations of personal attack and fled. He has not edited the offending article in almost 48 hours (or any since his post on my personal attack report over 36 hours ago). I have brought user's tone and troll-like behavior to several Bio group admins and cross posted to BLP noticeboard. BusterD 15:59, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Please see history for more information regarding his edits (which, as you'll note, include minor, unrelated changes, so the diffs aren't 100% revisions - he's still violating the spirit of 3RR.)
- Looking at [Finalnow's contributions], it seems that he's a very focused POV pusher, only interested in two articles. I'm trying to reach compromise with him, but he seems committed to his POV. --JereKrischel 20:14, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

- What are you talking about? That's a lie and you know it. There is no ongoing discussion. It was an RFC which was closed. End of story! The fact that you were banned at the time when it was closed and subsequently archived is irrelevant. You cannot bring back an archived discussion. Regardless, you violated the 3rr by reverting 6 times despite ebing warned by user Tekleni. Not to mention that your previous block for a 3rr violation has just barely expired.--Eupator 20:31, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
- (edit conflict - I was just about to report him): Nixer, you keep restoring an archived (and extremely long) talkpage - I for one, can't access it (I'm on a dialup connection and it's way to long - just like this page :p). Nixer has just returned from another 3RR block handed out a few days ago. Do check out his block log though - very impressive.--Tekleni 20:29, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Given that JN has been blocked for this, it seems a bit odd to block the other side now. William M. Connolley 08:31, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
I find it strange that one user was given a block while the other received no discipline whatsoever though both were equally culpable, furthermore the revert war took place in the talk page of the blocked user. the lopsided judgment may be due to an oversight on the part of the initial administrator, nevertheless this disparity should be rectified.Freepsbane 01:40, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Three-revert rule violation on Black Supremacy
Unsigned, poorly formatted. Anyway, DCV is saved by the bell: 2006-10-28T18:07:05 Durova (Talk | contribs | block) m (Protected Black supremacy: Edit warring. Protecting for cooldown. [edit=sysop:move=sysop]) William M. Connolley 18:20, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
I wasn't "saved by the bell," Durova Connelley. The first edit doesn't even begin to resemble the other three. Furthermore, I have been exceedingly patient with the other editor User:Rbaish, have justified copiously each and every edit, and repeatedly have sought to engage him on the article talk page (with some limited success), insisting that he document his contributions and that they be NPOV. The entity registering this complaint isn't even on the radar and is very likely a sockpuppet.) Hardly edit warring on my part. *x*deeceevoice 18:50, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

- And in fact my apologies - I didn't even check the report, merely noted the protection. So I withdraw my "saved by the bell". Having looked subsequently, it isn't straightforward, but I suspect you would have been blocked. Please note that The first edit doesn't even begin to resemble the other three isn't relevant - if you're going to get close to 3RR, you'd better study the policy a bit William M. Connolley 20:11, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Apology accepted. When my approach to editing descends to gaming the system (tag-team edit warring, etc.), then maybe I will. Until then I'll continue to try to reason with people and hope for the best. And on that note, maybe one of you Wiki cops will take a look at Prognathism and decide to protect the page -- since the same problem exists there with another determined edit warrior (likely a sock puppet) who has no interest in collaboration or discussing things on the talk page, despite repeated requests; just serial reversion. deeceevoice 20:31, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Reporting User:Ramdrake for violation at the J. Philippe Rushton article (Result: Insufficient information)
I just wanted to report a 3 rr violation by User:Ramdrake at the J. Philippe Rushton article. The reverts were here [[123]], here, [[124]], and here [[125]] and here [[126]]. This user has tag teamed with User: JereKrischel (often conspiring on each other’s talk pages) to censor Rushton’s controversial views from his own article, yet give ample space to detailed selectively chosen criticism that unfairly portrays this honest and capable researcher as an incompetent racist . When I tried to add back the details of Rushton’s theory to give readers the chance to understand how Rushton came to his controversial conclusion, they tag team reverted me and others, with the excuse that his biography shouldn’t focus too much on his theory and libelously claimed that it should be relegated to a small section in an article about scientific racism. I finally got tired of edit warring decided that if there’s no room in the article to discuss his controversial theory in detail, than there’s also no room to list verbatim quotes of those implying he’s racist or incompetent because of said theory; but I against them to revert even this compromise. 205.211.50.10 00:30, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Comments:
The first two edits are straightforward reversions. The third edit is a reversion of the previous edit (a change from a British spelling back to the American spelling that originally was used) combined with unrelated edits. The fourth edit is a straightforward reversion back to the previous page version (again restoring the British spelling). The fifth edit is a straightforward reversion back to the previous page version (pertaining to some sort of content dispute). At this point, Steel359 actually protected the page, using the summary "Enough reverts for one day." The page was then unprotected by Cowman109 (because Steel359 improperly protected it to gain an advantage in a conflict). I then noticed that the page had been altered from the American English originally used (and in place from February 2005 to August 2006) to British English, so I undid this change. The sixth edit is Steel359's reversion of my correction (on the basis that the article had used British English for "months," thereby ignoring the fact that it contained American English for roughly 1 ½ years). Upon noticing this, I examined the revision history and found that Steel359 already had violated the three-revert rule.
An administrator knows better than to behave in this manner, and I believe that a 24-hour block is in order. —David Levy 01:39, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, he "should know better", but blocks are only made to prevent harm, not to punish. Unprotection and a three hour block should be enough to get his attention and reckognize that he went astray. However, if this continues, then I suppose a longer block would be in order.Voice-of-All 03:41, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
- For the record, I filed this report before learning that a three-hour block already was in place. As I commented at WP:ANI, it's true that 3RR blocks aren't punitive, but I strongly suspect that Steel359 could use a 24-hour break (self-imposed, if need be) to cool down. He struck me as quite reasonable in our one prior interaction, so something must have snapped. —David Levy 04:00, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
- And if he is normally reasonable then maybe a reversal and three hour block will work.Voice-of-All 04:19, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Time report made: 06:35, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Comments: User keeps reverting to his verison that that includes false information and unverifiable opinions. He has also removed verifiable links critical of the union. User has been informed that his opinions are not verifiable several times, and that his information is false (see talk). He has also polluted other pages such as Metropolis and Crisscross K.K. with inapporopriate references to this dispute.
- Two problems.
- You did not specify what the previous version reverted to was, therefore it is unclear that the first was a revert and not an edit.
- The fourth revert was more than 24 hours after the first.
- Therefore, no violation and no block. Stifle (talk) 15:24, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Time report made: 18:30, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Comments: Transnistria was locked on full protection[138] due to previous behavior by this same user (related to the same edits). He then participated in Talk:Transnistria, at my urging, seeking consensus (although some of his discussion was clearly uncivil, using words like "you know nothing" and "don't post your crap here". However, as soon as the page protection was lifted, he stopped participating in Talk and immediately started deleting the disputed content.[139]. After I warned him[140] that this was inappropriate, he still continued[141] and just deleted my warning from his user talkpage[142]. I then repeated my warning[143] and asked him to revert himself to avoid this 3RR report. He did not do this, but again just ignored and blanked the warning once more[144]. Finally, it took the actions of an Administrator to revert his deletions and restore the original content.[145] - Mauco 18:30, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
- Comment by a third part: The plaintiff, User:William Mauco is a well known POV pusher in all Transnistria related articles, where he want to have veto rights. No consensus can be reached with him as he is denying the obvious and including in articles things not supported by the refferences he makes. He refused mediation in other articles[146] [147], is just trolling. Himself is the subject of a 3RR report pending from 23 October [148] but a decision was not yet made. This was at least the forth 3RR report against him, but he always was pardoned until now [149] [150] [151]. Before making reports against others, he should first learn to obey himself the 3RR rule, and I hope the administrators will take finally a decision regarding pending report of 23 October, else will create the impression that in Wikipedia there are no rules. Other people which had disputes with Mauco broke the rule because they saw he broke and nothing happened.--MariusM 22:48, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
- 1, 2 and 3 are consecutive edits made without edit-warring, which do not violate 3RR. No violation here. All parties are reminded that 3RR is a restriction, not an entitlement, to be civil, and to use talk pages. Stifle (talk) 22:50, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
-edit clashed with the above-
- Although there are a lot of edits there, not all of them are reverts. The 5 consecutive eidts from 15:46-16:01 on October 29th, for example, count as 1 edit, rather than many seperate ones. As it is, then, there are two clear reverts (marked 'rv'); I don't see how this edit of 19:35 counts as a 'revert' - its not "undoing in whole or part another editor's work"; which leaves just one more eidt (the one made of many smaller edits), which looks like its just about a revert, in that it changes the wording significantly of William Mauco, to the extent that it has 'undone' his work. Either way, that's still only three reverts (one of which is only vaguley included as such) which is not paticularly good, but remains within policy guidelines.
- I'll give the user a warning, but this is not a violation of the three revert rule. --Robdurbar 22:56, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Comments: User has been blocked many times before for both 3RR violation and personal attacks. The user's behaviour has not improved in the slightest. A RFC (Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Ernham) has been opened but has come to no conclusion despite being certified by many users.
Two edits are by an IP address. However user admits it was them (Not try to deceive anyone. I couldn't log in for some reason., zero cache error) and also trademark edit summaries by IP address ("Stop your damn vandalism. All polls are "unscientific". Doesn't matter who does them. Jesus")

- I would like to apologize to the processing admin for having gone above the 3RR limit temporarily, but I hope nothing irrepairable has been done as I reverted my 4th revert. However, if the processing admin sees fit to penalize nme for the gesture, even reverted, I will accept it without prejudice or complaint.--Ramdrake 01:23, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- Reversions being shown where repair of overt vandalism on that page. The blatant "removal of legitmate information" is a clear demonstration of vandalism, as per the definition of vadalism anyway. User involved have a long history of vandalizing that wiki, and he continues to do because admins continue to refuse to punish him.Ernham 01:44, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- I would like to point out the reasons for the inappropriateness of the information User:Ernham has been putting back in for the 6th or 7th time in a row now has been explained to him on his talk page.--Ramdrake 01:51, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Comments: User continues to revert my edits based on the claim that he held a vote session involving two or three other editors (who just happen to be the only ones editing the page and are most likely bias) and believes he controls the Template (which is hugely based on something subjective) and has failed to provide reasons as to why his choices are iconic aside from the fact that there was a vote in which nobody was aware of except the only editors of the page. There seems to be a "Lord of the Flies"-tyranny involved with the template. I see no justice in a one user determining when to vote or delete edits, especially when he/she acknowledges that few people look at the template & will thus always win favor of the other editors who are partial to this user. In addition, this topic is purely subjective. Therefore, any figures considered "iconic" should be allowed on the template. How is it just that a few users decide who stays or doesn't when there is no merit to what makes a character iconic?

In addition, this topic is purely subjective. Therefore, any figures considered "iconic" should be allowed on the template. How is it just that a few users decide who stays or doesn't when there is no merit to what makes a character iconic? Take a look at their comments from their edits, they add figures to the template at will and condone it when they know the other users. (no voting or anything like that, either). THE TEMPLATE is purely SUBJECTIVE, does not deal with FACTS but rather OPINIONS. The opinions of the few editors who continue to revert my edits do not have precedence over anyone elses, thus their reverts are unjustified.
