Article: Malta convoys
After this and this, & perfect willingness to discuss both times, I've effectively been told by User:Keith-264 there's nothing to discuss, because he's right. I expect another false accusation of vandalism any minute now from an editor who seems to believe he owns the page (judging by his numerous edits every day & refusal to acknowledge he even has to defend any of them). I also expect another Admin to look at my edits, & this notice, claim I'm just gaming the system, & do fuck all, just like last time. So this is probably a complete waste of time & effort, if not an open opportunity (yet another!) to block me for "incivility", which so many seem to be looking for. Funny, the edits I made from around 20 Sept (& which I can't find again in the history, as usual...) were perfectly okay when made by somebody else (take a look at the page now & day before yesterday, & compare). AGF? That's getting harder to do, when I keep seeing other people managing to do what I just attract rv & complaints of vandalism & indifference & accusations of "gaming the system" for.

- If two of you are discussing and can't come to a consensus you should use some form of WP:Dispute resolution and not ANI to resolve the dispute. That said, I'm highly concerned about the false accusations for vandalism by Keith-264. If they continue, they IMO should be blocked. Nil Einne (talk) 15:54, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- I'll allow I've broken 3RR. So has he. And Nil, you've seen two more false claims in the space of 2 minutes. (I am pleased to see somebody cares about that.) He's also not responded here, tho notified. TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 15:58, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- (EC) Incidentally, because of their false accusation, Keith-264 has just broken 3RR. (Since they aren't reverting vandalism the exemption doesn't apply.) Nil Einne (talk) 15:59, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- For the record, I only broke it after he effectively said he had no intention of discussing. It appears to me the vandalism claims are an attempt to circumvent 3RR. TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 16:03, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- This seems to be a resumption of the previous edit war from September 2017. Insofar as there was a consensus then, it supported Keith-264, though the closing comment of a relevant RfC specifically noted "no prejudice against further discussion about what else specifically could be removed." Discussion is the operative word here; Trekphiler, you should discuss the removals on the talk page, and try to establish consensus for all or some of them, instead of attempting to edit-war them in. If Keith-264 isn't willing to discuss your changes anymore, clearly that means he's a no on them and any support for them needs to come from other directions.
Keith-264, please refrain from edit warring and from false accusations of vandalism. While you are right that the context is relevant, in no way does it make Trekphiler's edits vandalism; vandalism means deliberately disruptive edits made in bad faith. Sideways713 (talk) 16:48, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Trek made an unwarranted inference and yet again made a capricious mass removal of material, which broke consensus and is what I reverted ages ago becuase he was the one who stopped talking. Trek's edits in the context of earlier discussions and the long silence since, were clearly vandalism if not sabotage. If you take the trouble to look at the talk page you will see that I refused to accept Trek's framing and his tactics, not the principle of consensus seeking. I am willing to discuss the material he wants out but not from the position that he removes the material and requires persuasion to put it back in since this won't be forthcoming. My next suggestion was to be an exploration of the use of the note as a way of moving contentious material rather than removing it according to one editor's demands; trouble is, I've got Manflu so it will have to wait.

- PS what happened to my comment here earlier today?Keith-264 (talk) 21:31, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- Guys, get a room. This is a content dispute and is best solved by discussing on the Talk page with references to reliable independent sources. Guy (Help!) 23:19, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- "Discuss & get consensus"? With somebody who refused to even answer any of my remarks the first time & called it vandalism, & this time said he had no position he had to defend & wasn't "beholden to me", effectively refusing to discuss this time, too. Discuss what? And I see false accusations of vandalism are perfectly okay, provided I'm the one being accused. And I see somebody else making the very same edits I did is perfectly okay. Did I start over with the same edit as a year ago? I must certainly did. I believed it warranted then, & I do now. I also knew this was going to be a wsste of time. Go ahead, block me for being "incivil", again. At this point, I just don't give a damn. Trying to improve anything here is like trying to hold back the tide. Canute I can see Shannon! 16:03 23:45, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- Two editors at loggerheads do not a consensus make. If the discussions here and on the article talk page aren't enough to make additional editors weigh in, you can try pinging the users involved in the previous discussion on this topic (given that they generally took Keith-264's side last time, no one could possibly consider it canvassing); or you could post a neutrally worded note somewhere like the talk page of the Military history WikiProject, requesting the input and views of uninvolved users interested in the subject.
If you can't establish that the consensus now supports your edits, don't push the matter too far, and remember that there are many other articles for you to improve. Sideways713 (talk) 02:57, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

That seems fair enough. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 18:02, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
User:Speedy Question Mark
User:Speedy Question Mark has repeatedly edited the All Elite Wrestling logo to change the background color from black to white. He claims this is to make it look better or fit into the page better or something, but regardless, the logo is black and it's unclear why he thinks he can just decide to make it a different color. After he finally dropped this and accepted using the proper logo, he then created a duplicate logo, with the apparent intent of hiding his edit/revert history. I reverted this change and marked the duplicate for speedy deletion, but he quickly undid both edits, apparently because he thinks we need to have a "discussion." He refuses to listen to other editors and this is all just horribly unproductive, I was hoping the admins could set him straight. Thanks! Wicka wicka (talk) 15:11, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- If it helps anything, it appears the extra revisions are soon to be deleted. -A lad insane (Channel 2) 16:25, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- I feel a lot of the users on here are quite rude, aggressive and possessive when it comes to certain articles and it's a real turn off when trying to help out and edit articles, all I did was upload a version of the logo without a background which is usually done with many brand logo's on Wikipedia (the one I uploaded had the letters outlined so it could stand out from the white background) but for some reason on this very article It's being treated as if I'm vandalising it which isn't the case, the other users keeping making up this story that I'm apparently trying to hide something which I honestly don't even know what they think I'm trying to hide because there is nothing to hide. I have huge OCD so the reason I wanted to upload a new version is because the old image was full of reverts and it looked irritating. I've explained my side of the story many times but I honestly feel like I'm being ignored and pushed into a corner. Speedy Question Mark (talk) 17:06, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- Behavioral issue, you kept reverting the image despite several people making comments. Piece of advice, if an edit is reverted do the folowing: Stop, understand the reasoning behind the revert, discuss a difference of oppinion instead of just reverting again. (And yes I admit I don't always do that myself) MPJ-DK (talk) 17:36, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

- Many brand logos have the background removed because it is not part of the logo. That is not the case here. The logo is black, it is not white. You were not removing the background, you were changing the color of a company's logo. You need to understand that. Wicka wicka (talk) 17:42, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- Ah, pro wrestling. The gift that keeps on giving. EEng 18:08, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- I know, ain't it great? Considering how much time you have spent on a DYK related to a wrestling hall of famer I know you are a true fan. MPJ-DK (talk) 23:55, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- And believe it or not we're on the verge of wrapping up. You might want to drop in and opine. EEng 02:55, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cena Augustus... --Shirt58 (talk) 20:37, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- Many media sites have used the AEW logo without the background so it gave off the impression that is wasn't part of the logo. Sorry my mistake. Speedy Question Mark (talk) 18:18, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
(Non-administrator comment) Based on the revision history, both side seem break 3RR by upload their own version 4 times, within a day. So, before the wrestling, would it better to use the talk page, dispute resolution chamber and/or page protection first? However, if both side willing to discuss the matter, then it is not that urgent to discuss in ANI. Matthew hk (talk) 19:24, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- I suppose I could delete the one's after the last stable version. Pretty sure the current version is missing its license.-- Dlohcierekim (talk) 19:35, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- I believe I restored the last good version of the file and the appropriate page history leading up to it.--v/r - TP 19:41, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- Not sure what's happened here, it looks like you've reverted it back to the original high-res, uncropped version. Wicka wicka (talk) 20:34, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- I didn't think you wanted to cropped version, but I can restore that instead.--v/r - TP 20:59, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's better. I'd have restored the uncropped version too.-- Dlohcierekim (talk) 23:07, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
