Declined In spite of the turmoil, the article seems to be moving forward. It is hard to identify specific edits as reverts since so much development is happening.

This is a bad faith report because I simply was doing housekeeping to use the version that was a result of a 13 day talk page discussion. The accusing user and his friend keeps reverting it to a non-consensus version that has opposition, WP:LEAD violations, and bad prose problems. I have ceased editing it and let them have their own way but I have asked an administrator to help resolve this. I am for discussion and compromise but the accuser unfortunately is not. Maybe this admin will help us (but he is going to sleep now).

Also note that there was no warning. The warning reported is just a generic one that is old. Presumptive (talk) 06:49, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

You have been warned in the past. You know about 3RR violations. Your "adopter" even warned you about it. Instead, you decided to muscle your revisions through no matter the group of editors that disagreed with you. While I have tried to engage in discussion about your changes, you continue to trumpet your one-man consensus revisions in the face of everyone else. -- Veggy (talk) 06:54, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

You reverted without discussion so if you are calling for punishment, you should receive it, VegitaU. What are you complaining about because I have let you win and let you have your way even though the 13-14 day discussion of the 7 lead sentence versions have few comments from you. If you and IceColdBeer are complaining, you should have discussed it. Even now, you fail to discuss and compromise, just nag until others let you have your way. Please join me in discussion and compromise. I have already let you have your way and let the matter go for now. Presumptive (talk) 07:01, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

My adopter has said that I am right. I even let you have your way even though your reverts have no consensus. Presumptive (talk) 07:03, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

As I said, I have tried to engage in discussion. Please, Presumptive, click on the links of my reply above. You can't claim that I am failing to engage in discussion when there is undeniable evidence that I have been. -- Veggy (talk) 07:07, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

• Please stick to the format outlined at Example page. Report not acted on due to lack of 3rr warning. Feel free to add a diff to it at any time. El_C 07:18, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

• Okay, thanks; but 3rr warning needs to be issued to the user prior to 3rr being breached. El_C 07:19, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

User was clearly aware of 3RR, but none of the reverts are massively obnoxious. I'll let him off with a warning, as it's all rather complicated and he may not have been aware he was near 3RR. Moreschi (talk) (debate)

Repsonse

This is a bad report. The talk page consensus was to keep a table in the article. My edits were restorations of continued removal by User:Jim Furtado after the discussion. I'll probably have more after going through the diffs provided. This user is not acting in good faith. He is being dishonest with the facts. He has accused me of vandalism, sock-puppetry, and racism. --Elliskev 12:54, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

The "consensus" were mostly of newly created acounts and an ip adress and they all just happen to agree with him and they all just happen to post imediately after he had posted on the discussion page, so most likely they are sock puppets of someone, and the graph in it self is by deafult racist. And I never for one second called him a racist, only the graph it is User:Elliskev that is dishonest as always with the facts Jim Furtado (talk) 00:01, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

I interpreted your claim that the graph is "racist" as an implication that I was supporting a "racist" graph, and by extension, that you were implying that I am a racist. I will accept you at your word that it wasn't your intent. --Elliskev 00:26, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Follow-up after reviewing diffs

This is an article with lots and lots of changes happening very quickly.

The first pair of diffs... I don't know what those are. They aren't my edits.

In the second grouping of diffs provided:

• • The first diff was a removal of text supported by this discussion.
  • The second diff provided was restoring the table referenced above (the first time).
  • The third diff provided is not presented correctly. That wasn't my edit. it is two consecutive edits, one by me and another by another editor. – this edit and my edit which is clearly undoing vandalism.
  • Finally, the fourth diff was my second restoring of the table. This was immediately followed-up with my taking the issue to the talk page (the discussion referenced above) in which I specifically said I would not restore it again. Someone else restored it after there was adequate discussion.

Since then User:Jim Furtado has continued to try to remove if with dishonest edit summaries claiming that the discussion supported removal or that restoration was "sneaky vandalism". I left him a message on his talk, which he deleted. I have since brought the discussion back to the article talk page. I think I have done everything to act in good faith. I have been patient with Jim Furtado in his unfounded accusations, but this is just going to far. --Elliskev 13:29, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

User:Elliskev was aware that he had broken the 3rr rule, and was warned but continues to ignore the fact and has now has made an illegally edit, trying to change the the outcome of the response. Obviously he has no respect for wikipedia rules, since he most likely created several sock puppet accounts that just happen to agree with him and were created as soon as he had posted on the discussion page. And I never for one second claimed it was supported on the discussion page all I wrote was look on the discussion page. And I have been EXTREMLY patient with [[User:Elliskev)) but he clearly has no respect for the Wikipedia rules as his edits and dishonesty proves. Jim Furtado (talk) 23:54, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Different users are participating in a discussion on a proposed draft and trying to get consensus. However, this user reverts the current version, keep deleting disputed contents. This is the second time that 3rdAlcove violates 3rr on Cyrus Cylinder. Last time she/he was blocked for violation of 3rr on this article, edit warring in various places and posting incivil edit summaries [29] Larno Man

No, my reverts were 3 (ie 2, 3 and 4), the first series of edits introduced a completely NEW version. As for the POV-pushing and stalling going on in that article...I guess it's quite off-topic here. Nice how you managed to dress this up, though. 3rdAlcove (talk) 10:36, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

No you reverted the same paragraph (the quote from Britannica) 4 times:

• 3rd revert: at 13:28, 10 August 2008
• 4th revert: at 13:50, 10 August 2008

At the first revert, you removed the Britannica quote first then you restored the older version. You had also reverted this quote and the rest of the section several times previously.[[30]][[31]][[32]]--Larno Man (talk) 15:06, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

I had one IP address (92.9.72.131) while I wrote the report and that's the IP I used to fill in the "-- Your NAME --" bit of the report template. While I was writing the report, (which took about half an hour) my partner used the phone, which dropped the ADSL connection and gave me a new IP (DHCP) so by the time I saved the page I had a different IP address to the one I'd filled out. 92.11.162.47 (talk) 12:27, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

• Good catch! The edit history shows that the actual submitter of this report was 92.8.254.213 (talk · contribs). I have changed the user id in the report header accordingly. Past experience suggests this might be one of the other editors of the article who just wants to be discreet. This is unorthodox but I don't think it breaks any rules. EdJohnston (talk) 02:03, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

The only other contributions I've made are a request for a citation on the article [45][46][47], a request to this editor to use edit summaries [48], a request on wikimedia commons for some information to help with the citation mentioned above [49] and a request for a discussion rather than an edit war on the talk page [50][51] [52], as well as informing this editor that I'd placed this edit war report [53]. There's another contribution by a 92.something IP [54] on Battle of Tskhinvali but it's not me. 92.11.162.47 (talk) 12:27, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

• True, and it's on my watchlist for possible protection if this crap continues. COAHCFD has been on my radar for a while, and his prior blocks for this and his personal attacks was just the icing on the cake. seicer | talk | contribs 02:07, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

But this is a loophole. Imagine that someone conducted edit-warring with COAHCFD and also violated the 3RR rule, but he does not want to be blocked too - as a result of his reporting here. Then he makes a report as an IP and avoids the responsibility.Biophys (talk) 02:30, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

I get your point. The reporter of any 3RR gets extra scrutiny, and this reporter is dodging that, since we don't know who he is.

All of this from strictly editting only two articles over the last several months. This tells me that, even after the next block is lifted, he will continue to break these policies. His last block was for 48 hours. With comments to his edits such as this, this, and this, he seems emotionally invested and hell bent on making sure his edits stick.

Notes - User:Tripping Nambiar removed the 3RR Warning that was placed on his talk page. He has not contributed any link or information to this article in the past one year. His only interest seems to be the section on racial identity. He removed links and asks for links. For instace, Sonagar are Tamil-speaking Muslims of race separate from Dravidian race. He refuses to acknowledge this multi-ethnic reality despite so many links provided in that article. He believes Chulia, Mamak, Kayalar, Lebbai, Marakayar, Rowther et al all belong to the same race. Looking at his log, I believe his edits to be disruptive and based on cocooned stereotypes. He managed to stick to 2RR daily for some time. His misleading edit summaries are confrontational. For instance, he calls Anwar Ibrahim was not of Tamil origin though links are provided in that article. Anwar (talk) 14:14, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

No current warning is needed, only for the editor to be aware of the rule. I have not even edited the article since the 24 July, how am I "teaming" anyone? Domer48_'fenian' 18:50, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Editor has been final-warned. The next revert will result in a block - Alison ^❤ 18:51, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

It's patently obvious what's going on here but I will extend good faith and not accuse anyone of pre-planning this tag teaming effort. May I suggest again that editors opposed to the UDR just don't edit the page. If you have something constructive to add then add it but this removing of information because it doesn't fit in with an individuials own views on the Irish troubles is not what Wikipedia is about in my view.

• Both blocked 48 hours. DreamGuy's 96 hour block was for incivility, not edit warring, and the current count at one locus of the article is DreamGuy 5, Arcayne 4. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 16:32, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Actually, Arcayne had 5 if you include the meatpuppet he called in to game the system. More importantly, however, Arthur claims he blocked both of us 48 hours but he almost immediately after went in and unblocked Arcayne afterwards and then proceeded to go onto the talk page of the article in question and pretend to set up a "consensus" while I was blocked. Arthur Rubin in the past has been cautioned by other admins to not take action against me because of his longstanding personal conflict and his habit of engaging in edit wars himself and using blocking to win edit wars. For a while there he was also looking at my edit history to go to new articles and blind revert purely for harassment purposes. Arcayne went and did that himself in this latest incident, following me to articles he's never been on to revert while including a reference to me personally. Obviously the block is over at this point, but I thought I'd post a response pointing out Arthur Rubin's abusive and deceptive actions just for the sake of having it here. DreamGuy (talk) 18:12, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

I rather object to to the suggestion that I used any meat-puppets, or have "gamed the system". Out of the three participants in this matter, only DreamGuy has been blocked for such behavior. I presume I was unblocked because I wanted to defend accusations that I had been edit-warring or baiting. As I had not twisted your arm into breaking 3RR and had tried to reach a compromise with you, I wasn't re-blocked. As you had in fact violated 3RR, you remained blocked, and instead chose to attack those blocking you, you remained blocked. I hope that clarifies matters for you. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 19:46, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

I was not cautioned against taking action against DG, I was cautioned against attempting to communicate with him. Let's get the facts straight. The ANI thread in which I brought the matter up suggested extending the blocks, but I still see no reason why a parole not to edit the article in question isn't adequate. It's not a "special enforcement area", so I couldn't just impose an article ban.

And, in this instance, I followed the 3RR. I agree with your edits and commentary on SRA, so I don't see why I thought (and still think) your actions on photoshopping and related articles many months ago were vandalism should be considered as my being in a conflict with you, although you apparently see it that way. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 20:37, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

"Not likely a violation?" Did you bother to read the report, or do you have trouble understanding the three-revert rule as well? The stale I can understand; believe me, this isn't the first time an administrator gets reported for edit warring while the other admins look the other way and wait for the report to "go stale".

I have objected elsewhere to this warning and submit that I have been the subject of a certain amount of gaming. In an attempt to resolve the issue with other editors I have started a work page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:The_Thunderer/Ulster_Defence_Regiment and also posted a set of objectives on the talk page. I've invited BigDunc and others to participate in an editing and discussion session to see if we can agree something which might resolve the issues which seem to exist. I would very much appreciate anyone examining the objectives and perhaps commenting or correcting anything which they think is inappropriate. If this solution is successful it will hopefully prevent any such further reports on this page concerning the article.

User:76.172.164.214, who may also be an IP sock of banned user Nyannrunning, was blocked for his/her part.

Neither IP will address the removal. Waiting 5 minutes past 24 hours after the first revert to avoid four reversions is gaming the system and is still a violation of WP:3RR.

Blocked – for a period of 24 hours Some charges of WP:BLP violations are floating around, but Tmtoulouse has been the defender of a much longer version of the article that includes statements about Esther Hicks channeling the dead. Some of the other participants argue this longer version is a BLP violation, though it is hard to pin down specifics. I don't see any BLP defence for Tmtoulouse's reverts, but I hope anyone who thinks that Tmtoulouse has made reverts that are immune under BLP will speak up here. Since Tmtoulouse was blocked for edit-warring in June they shouldn't need to be warned again about 3RR. EdJohnston (talk) 15:20, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

No violation; the report is also malformed (for example, the indicated version reverted to is after all the claimed reverts). The only edit warring going on is with regards to tags, and the complaint there is not without merit. east718 // talk // email // 22:10, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

East718: I won't dispute your conclusion at all, but I'd point out that your comment, "The only edit warring going on is with regards to tags,..." is correct only with regard to user Tedickey.

Tmtoulouse insists upon introducing contentious and potentially libelous information to this biography, irrespective of editor input on discussion page WP:LIVE and 'coatracks'. He was just came off a ban for violation of the 3rr policy, and started doing it again.

I tried to make links per Wiki request, but TmToulouse is much more clever than I am in the use of the history/edit page, and I can't make sense of how he worked the system... so I just copied and pasted the pattern. Hope this will be good enough.--Ahnalira (talk) 18:14, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

To me this translates to you can't find a violation of 3RR and just don't like my contributions and are seeking to have me blocked. There is an army of single purpose newly registered accounts all making the same edits and refusing to discuss it on the talk page except to say they are exempt from having to discuss it. They have appear to have a major conflict of interest. My edits today have focused on trying to find a compromise wording/structure but each proposal gets reverted with the comment "no discussion needed." Tmtoulouse (talk) 19:33, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

A group of newly registered editors and some anonymous IP editors have been consistently reverting the page back to Esther's official biography. When asked to justify themselves, there's a lot of WP:BLP and WP:BOLD comments. They are apparently of the belief that these policies absolve them of the need to ever explain themselves. Removing contentions information is fine, but removing non-contentions information with zero discussion is a ridiculous abuse of policy. I think that User:Tmtoulouse has been very patient and tried to engage in constructive discussions. The COI editors involved simply want Esther's WP bio to be written by her.

I will also remind you that Ahnalira's first edit to the article had an edit summary of:

"Added the first name where only Hicks was written and clarified definition of what she does slightly. As webmaster of Abraham-Hicks Publications, these changes were requested of me by Esther Hicks"

About three days ago, four newbie editors who all share the same opinions started getting involved. Something is not right here. I would really like to see some non-COI editors come in and join this. Bhimaji (talk) 20:24, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

As I understand it, this is a request for Admin to assess if 3RR is violated, not a place to further debate. I'm relatively new in this system, but I think there is a place to request Admin to check for sockpuppets and other other issues of policy. I'm not sure that following me here to make personal accusations has anything to do with the 3RR policy.--Ahnalira (talk) 20:42, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Context is often useful when someone is being made aware of the situation for the first time. No one has accused you personally of anything. For what it is worth I have started pursuing the questions of single purpose accounts/sockpuppets elsewhere. But as to this particularly page and issue, I merely ask that you show me the 4 reverts or withdraw the complaint. Tmtoulouse (talk) 20:48, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

• 4th revert: 15:09, 20 August 2008 removed a source and wording added in the prior edit to the article

After noticing this 3RR from Gamaliel, I notified him of it and politely asked him to revert himself. He refused. After reviewing another article she was recently involved in, I noticed another 3RR violation in that one, although its over 2 months old:see the June 10th and 11th edits. This violation is made more troubling because Gamaliel is an admin, who routinely blocks people for violation of this policy. She should be held to it as stringently as she holds it to others. CENSEI (talk) 16:04, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

The first "revert" is clear vandalism. I removed the introduction of a deliberate factual error (the same error that has been introduced repeatedly by IPs on this article) accompanied by a slur on her parentage. The last "revert" was a new edit which incorporated new material along with changing some of the old. If any administrator agrees with Censei's assessment that this is a 3RR violation, I will revert myself. If not, please ask this editor (who has a history of contentious and uncivil behavior which I've warned him about before) to stop wasting my time. Gamaliel (talk) 16:11, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

In regards to the June 10th edits on a different, unrelated article mentioned by Censei, some of those "reverts" involved removing plagiarism and copyrighted material. Gamaliel (talk) 16:14, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

If it was “clearly vandalism” I would not have included it. As I stated, a blatantly POV edit, is not vandalism. In regard to the June 10th edits on Judicial Watch, there is nothing on talk or in the edit summaries about plagiarism or Copyvio, only an argument about wording and NPOV, Gamaliel must be thinking about a different article. I only bring it up to establish that she has a history of this kind of behavior. CENSEI (talk) 16:20, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Two incidents taken out of context do not add up to a history of anything. On the talk page there is a record of me discussing in detail our policies on plagiarism and copyright to a new user on the dates in question. Gamaliel (talk) 16:26, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Declined Editors are given some latitude with reverts of material that can be questioned on WP:BLP grounds. Gamaliel did raise the topic of BLP in Talk:Helen Thomas#Recent Edits. His first revert does look like a revert of vandalism, since an IP had added text referring to Thomas's "illiterate parents." His last edit accepts the 'tirade' critique of Helen Thomas that he was reverting before, but rewrites it with new sources. That fourth edit doesn't seem to be a pure revert, so there are only two reverts altogether. EdJohnston (talk) 16:43, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

I am sure with some digging in these archives, I could find lots more. Would you like me to, or can you drop it? The record on the Judicial Watch article is there for everyone to see, to I will leave it at that.

But back to this question, you should undo yourself before anyone concurs with this. The allegation has been made, evidence presented and a good faith showing would clear this up. CENSEI (talk) 16:33, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Wow, snide insinuation followed by a request for me to act in good faith. What chutzpah. You are welcome to keep digging through my edit history. I stand by my work. I am willing to revert myself at the request of an independent administrator, but not at the request of a user with a history of civility problems towards people who disagree with him. Gamaliel (talk) 16:38, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

WOW, where to begin with that attack ... but on second thought, you can have the last word here, I wouldnt want you to say anything you might regret later. CENSEI (talk) 16:42, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

So you think that insinuating that I have an edit history full of policy violations based on no evidence is appropriate behavior? Gamaliel (talk) 16:45, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't. The fact that one user violated 3RR doesn't exempt anyone else from the rule. I haven't counted enough to be sure if your reverting would break 3RR, but at any rate, the point is not to edit war at all, and as you were recently warned, reverting would be a bad idea.

I first became involved in this page as a 3O provider. User:CreazySuit has repeatedly replaced article tags without explaining why he thinks they should be placed. Prior to this most recent edit warring, this was his only contribution to the article talk page since April. Editor has declined numerous requests to engage in constructive discussion, and has continued to revert the tag removal without explanation. Jclemens (talk) 00:01, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

This doesn't appear to be a 3RRvio. Am I missing something? Khoikhoi 00:30, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Per WP:3RR "Editors may still be blocked even if they have made three or fewer reverts in a 24 hour period, if their behavior is clearly disruptive. Efforts to game the system, for example by persistently making three reverts each day or three reverts on each of a group of pages, cast an editor in a poor light and may result in blocks." This editor had been refusing repeated requests to discuss the specific issues that would prompt the tagging he was insisting upon. 4 reverts in 26 hours and change, of the exact same edit, without any attempt to discuss the reason for the reversion, is clearly violating the spirit of 3RR, and the policy itself states that the technical edit count is less important than the behaviour. Jclemens (talk) 03:03, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Revert wars about tags are confusing and hard to rule on in a crisp manner. There seems to be a bit of stubbornness on both sides. One side thinks an explanation for the tags is needed, and the other side that it has already been given. If after a longer discussion there is no movement, you might raise this again on this board. If one side won't explain, try giving your own summary of what you think their position is, and ask them if it's right. EdJohnston (talk) 04:01, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

User:Apr1fool reported by User:Simon Bar Sinister (Result: No violation )

In the article Disney's Wide World of Sports this user keeps changing the physical location from Kissimmee, Florida to Walt Disney World, Florida, There was discussion in the article's talkpage providing a link to the official Disney's Wide World of Sports website contact page showing the address in Kissimmee and not in Lake Buena Vista where Walt Disney World is located.

Their reverts are as follows:

• Revert #1 - 11:20, 20 August 2008
• Revert #2 - 11:24, 20 August 2008
• Revert #3 - 19:43, 22 August 2008
• Revert #4 - 19:49, 22 August 2008

No violation Though my personal opinion is that you are correct about the address, there is no 3RR violation here. A group of consecutive edits by one editor counts as at most one revert, so Apr1fool only made two reverts altogether. If Apr1fool continues to revert, come back to this noticeboard. (He has not participated on the Talk page). EdJohnston (talk) 02:36, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

(Reposted from User talk:EdJohnston) The edits that I have made to the WWoS article, and those made to other WDW articles, are based on lengthy discussion that took place on Talk:Walt Disney World Resort regarding the location of the resort and its various properties, some of which I participated in. The final concensus was that Walt Disney World Resort would be used as the location for all of the WDW properties. I explained this to Simon Bar Sinister, but he feels that his opinion is the correct opinion since he lives in Kissimmee. WWoS is not in Kissimmee, even though the mailing address is Kissimmee. A history of the WWoS article will show that previous edits to the location have been changed back to Walt Disney World Resort by numerous users. Simon Bar Sinister has only been making edits to this article for a few days, so I feel he has no reason to accuse me of vandalism. I believe that research will show that I have been making proper edits, that I have been polite towards Simon Bar Sinister, and that maybe Simon is the one who deserves a warning. Please let me know if there is going to be any further action in this matter, and what the final outcome is. I will not make any further edits to this article until I hear back from you. Thank you. Apr1fool (talk) 05:37, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

I feel that I should also point out that my reverts were not all made in the same 24 hour period (as the revert history above clearly points out). These reverts were actually more than 2 full days apart. I feel it's important for users to thoroughly understand the appropriate policies before they accuse someone of violating those policies. Please refer to [Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RR] before reporting any further alleged violations. Thank you. Apr1fool (talk) 13:05, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

This is a complex case, obviously, but it's clear that Ashley has sunk a large number of reverts into the page recently (I count 8 revert links, but encourage others to check my math). I might not report this, but I notice they have a history of blocks for edit warring, most recently including a 4-day block which just expired this week. As the three-revert rule applies per page (not per-issue), and they are obviously edit warring shortly after a recent block for the same expired, I see little choice but to request admin intervention. – Luna Santin (talk) 20:28, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Firstly, can you pleast stop using personal attackos. Secondly, no, all of those were not "reverts", since if you actually checked the diffs, you would see I was not simply restoring the same version, but trying to add more sources each time. Therefore, it is not a break of the rule. 78.149.202.191 (talk) 14:00, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Seems to be more edit-warring at Maltese language. I am a neutral observer and can't really comment on the issues, but something seems to be going wrong with the editing process here. — Alan^✉ 15:08, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Alan is right, the same user is also edit warring extensively on Maltese language, with over 10 edits today. Yes, the user makes cosmetic changes when reverting, but the main message is still there, being reverted all the time. Please note that the reported user most likely is the same as the IP who posted the lie above about "the article now being stabilized". Both IPs have performed exactly the same reversions, and using another to post false comments to help the account being reported is an old trick used by MagdelenaDiArco, making me even more convinced that we are dealing with multiple sock-puppets.

Actually, he made five reverts. I recommended this user to revert himself back, which would help him to avoid sanctions (he seems to be a newcomer). Unfortunately, he interpreted my recommendation as a "threat" and apparently made 5th revert to prove his point.Biophys (talk) 19:50, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

• Comment This appears to be a disruptive, bad-faith report. This is largely a cut and paste of Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/3RR#User:216.211.57.63_reported_by_Delicious_carbuncle_.28Result:_72_hours.29, which I filed yesterday in relation to these same articles. I've left pointers to the WP:MUSIC guideline all over the place, but the IPs reverting are not using edit summaries or discussing their reverts of valid redirects. It would great if someone could step in here and bring an end to this. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 21:27, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

User first edited as IP address in same dynamic range to repeatedly insert non-consensus change. After reversions by various editors, user created an account, TimWhiskas, to try to evade the 3RR violation, and continued to edit war. Moreover, edit comments contain taunts about trying to get other users to 3RR first (presumably because we wouldn't notice the user is the IP address).

Comment: I added information in italics to the above report. The first, 2nd and 4th revert remove the word "account" and resplace it with "theory". The 3rd revert is arguably a revert because it removes the phrase "led to the collapse of the Twin Towers", although it replaces it with the similar phrase "the collapse of both Twin Towers was caused by" earlier in the sentence. VegitaU did 3 reverts during the same time period. Coppertwig (talk) 02:06, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

I suspect that a fourth revert was by the same ANON given the language used in the explanation found here, but I cannot be absolutely positive; the area from where the edit generates is the same, but not an identical computer. The ANON as been warned on their discussion page and in the reverts of their edits in the article. If the language were not so obviously POV, I would not have reported it. --Storm Rider ^(talk) 02:03, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

6 important details.

1. This user was blocked from editing for 48 hours for edit warring 5 days ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User%3AMelonbarmonster2

2. The reverts are not exactly the same, one is changing text, one is removal of a section - but all 4 edits are reverts.

3. The first edit is a revert, it is the removal of a section that has been discussed in the past and the editor in question was involved in the discussion, while using his previous ID.

quote "In the context of the English Wikipedia three revert rule, a revert is defined more broadly as the undoing of another editor's work by returning any part of a page to an older version." The first edit was reverting the article to the version that had been in existence due to consensus for a long time, the editor was well aware of the consensus, was involved in the discussion, and just because the revert is months after consensus was achieved does not make it anything other than a revert.

4. Although this is a new(ish) account (that has 1 edit warring block already) the user was previously using another account which was blocked on more than one occasion, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User%3AMelonbarmonster so the editor is well aware of 3RR

5. even if the editor had made only 3 reverts, and not 4, the fact that they were blocked for edit warring 5 days ago, should be enough to show that the actions on the Kimchi article are more than deserving of another block.

6. In the middle of the reverts on the article in question, the above editor took time to send a message to the talk page of the editor he was edit warring with, stating among other things "Please stop revert warring. If you continue to revert I will take formal courses of action." after leaving this message he went back to the article and continued with his reverts. This is borderline gaming, and shows a total disregard for the wikipedia rules that relate to reverts.

Response

User:Sennen goroshi is a Japanese editor who is famous for trolling Korea related articles and injecting anti-Korean, pro-Japanese POV edits.[[163]][[164]][[165]][[166][[167]] [[168]][[169]], etc.. In any case this is not violation of 3RR. There are only 2 reverts spaced out between other edits. User:Sennen goroshi has been tagteaming with User:Badagnani[[170]] in Korea related articles.

First edit was deletion of a trivia section in disguise and I incorporated most of the trivia into text of the article as instructed in WP:TRIV and WP:HTRIV which suggests "If an item is too unimportant, be bold and remove it." The edit itself was also not a revert but a novel edit. Furthermore to avoid revert warring, I created a talk section at the same time I made the first edit in the series of edits I made.[[171]]

Second edit was a revert. User:Sennen goroshi had shadowed my edits and began to revert my edits.

Third edit was removal of text that I myself had written "ubiquitous in Korean cuisine" because I had also added it in the next sentence "kimchi is so ubiquitous to Korea cuisine" along with removal of "along with other banchan dishes" for readability of the sentence. Does reverting my own edit count as a revert under the 3rr rule?

Fourth edit was a revert. After my explanation User:Badagnani was ignoring my requests for discussion and reverting.Melonbarmonster2 (talk) 17:22, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

===User:Sennen goroshi's further comments===Melonbarmonster2 (talk) 20:11, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

I don't understand why you are saying that I am Japanese, I don't really see how that is relevant to this 3RR report. (on a side note, I am not Japanese, but whatever) Neither do I see my edit history being relevant, nor any other petty accusations you wish to make. This report is about your 3RR violation, nothing more, nothing less.

The edit that you claim is a removal of a trivia section, is a section that has been discussed (you contributed towards the discussion while using your original ID) and consensus was gained - you were well aware of the consensus, so ignoring whether the section is good or not, your removal of it, was most certainly a revert. When looking at the article edit history, it seems quite obvious that these were reverts, you were removing the edits of another editor in order to revert the article back to a previous state. They were reverts not only according to wikipedia guidelines, but also according to the spirit of the guidelines. Your block history makes it clear that you have no respect for 3RR, you were blocked 5 days ago for edit warring -that 48 hour block seems to have had no effect, therefore I would suggest that a one month block from editing might be suitable, hopefully after 1 month without editing, they might think twice about edit warring again.Sennen goroshi (talk) 17:41, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Oh and to the claim that I shadowed the user and reverted them, I edited the article today - after I had made this 3RR report. Prior to that I last edited the article over 2 weeks ago and the edit I made was to change one simple word, not a revert and nothing to do with any edit the above user has made. This report is regarding edits made yesterday and today, what I edited over 2 weeks ago and what I edited after filing this report, is obviously nothing to do with this report.
