Reverts should be discussed

1) It is unhealthy to revert, especially more than once, without discussion of the reverts, either on the talk page of the article concerned, or on the talk page of the user whose edit was reverted. (See Wikipedia:Revert.) Johnleemk | Talk 15:38, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gaming the 3RR

2) It is inappropriate for editors to "game" the three-revert rule by hewing to the letter but not spirit of the rule (e.g. reverting four times in 24 hours and one minute). (See Wikipedia:Three-revert rule.) Johnleemk | Talk 15:38, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ruy Lopez reverts excessively without discussion

1) Ruy Lopez has reverted excessively on Khmer Rouge ([1], [2], [3], [4]) without attempting to actively engage in a dialogue regarding the article content (as evidenced by the lack of talk page comments except immediately prior to a bunch of reverts).

Ruy Lopez pushes his POV

2) Ruy Lopez has repeatedly attempted to push a particular POV on Khmer Rouge by removing external links and categories from the article that he disagrees with, despite inadequate explanation on Talk:Khmer Rouge. ([5], [6], [7], [8])

Comment by others:

Ruy Lopez inadequately clarified Samuel Thornton's credibility

5) Despite repeated requests to explain his citation of Samuel Thornton as a credible source backing up the assertion that the United States backed a coup in Cambodia ([12]), Ruy Lopez has not explained why Thornton is to be trusted more than any other source. (See Talk:Khmer_Rouge#Ruy_Lopez_still_won.27t_answer_the_questions.)

Ruy Lopez required to discuss reverts

2) Ruy Lopez is required to discuss all reverts on the relevant talk page, with the goal of finding mutually acceptable compromises.

Comment by parties:

This was what he was told to do last time around... [13]should not he be punished for that instead of told the same thing? CJK 00:04, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
