Polarscribe has just returned from an edit warring block about BLP material (see above) and is now again involved in a BLP-related edit war about what he thinks are unreliable sources. I've notified them about possible discretionary sanctions about topics regarding Armenia/Azerbaijan as set out at [[WP:ARBAA2]]. While the topic is being discussed with little outcome at [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard#Hamid Algar]] and [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Periodical of Armenian Students suitable for WP:BLP]], Polarscribe keeps removing content from the article without waiting for consensus. I have therefore [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hamid_Algar&diff=553375466&oldid=553372280 restored] one previous version of the article but Polarscribe promptly reverted me.

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.

4 differences as reverts adding back "and territories". Another is the revision of a section about U.S. territories. TFD (talk) 22:05, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
TheVirginiaHistorian reply. As a newbie, I haven't figured out how to make the hot links to (diff) yet. Below are the 28 elements of the MISREPRESENTED edit war on the United States page between A - include territories and B - exclude territories. A = TVH, Gwillhickers, Collect and others. B = Golbez and TFD and others. Every source requirement demanded to "include territories" has been met: government, history, political science and law, primary executive, legislative and judicial, specific acts of legislation and Members of Congress for each territory. "Just quote one president". Okay, John F. Kennedy San Juan, PR, 1961. “…I am in my country… in America this afternoon. “ Barak Obama San Juan PR, 2011. “I include Puerto Rico… [Puerto Ricans] help write the American story... in our country’s uniform...” But reasonable editors say Obama cannot mean ‘our country’ is a part of the US. And so it goes.
Since 28 October 2012, I have attempted to place a sourced description of the US geographically, nationally, politically and constitutionally in the introduction of the United States article, reverted. --- Wikipedia approaches sequence by TVH --- community talks for geography and political science, third party and mediation --- As the discussion wore into March 2013, at dispute resolution, an accommodation was reached -- eight finding consensus language, TFD, who placed this edit war complaint, refused to admit US territories, regardless of the accommodating language. Gwhillickers brought the DRN language to the article by March 19, Golbez placed the final wording.
On April 3, Golbez determined he had made the article, he could unmake it, "I should not have implemented it." On April 20, Golbez found an unsourced revelation to exclude US territories from the US, and so he did. I reverted it because he has no sources, has found no comparable group of eight (Buzity for including, is inactive). It may be as simple as refusing to acknowledge the US is not 'we the states' but 'we the people' -- he says below, the US as a nation has no sovereignty, "the country IS the states". But that is a peculiarly arcane take on "Tucker's Blackstone" used to justify the Civil War by Jefferson Davis, not common usage in the modern era for an online encyclopedia. It is impossible to tell for sure, because there are no sources to say, "modern US territories are not a part of the US." TheVirginiaHistorian (talk) 11:21, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

All I see above is you admitting that you shirked the bold, revert, discuss cycle, then hypocritically warned me of an edit war that you yourself were engaging in. We've broken DRN, what dispute resolution will we break next? However, thank you for documenting that your (and yes, I do say your, since it's often you implementing non-consensus measures, and me reverting them) edit war has stretched back six months. Surely we could find a better use for our time. I know I did, that's why I've stopped generally talking to you. I'm fine with defending my actions in an appropriate forum, this is not it. --Golbez (talk) 13:25, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Comments:
Rangoon11 edit warred with Coretheapple on 27 April [16][17] but then was away from the article and talk page for two days, during which time she was making many edits to other articles. Rangoon11 returned to BP today and immediately reverted five times, two of them being joined as one revert to make four total reverts. Rangoon11 could have participated in talk page discussion about building the article but chose not to do so. Ironically, Rangoon11 accuses other editors of edit warring and contempt for the talk page. Binksternet (talk) 22:15, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
- Was going to report this, Rangoon11 looks like he has done this before see block log here. YarisLife (talk) 03:28, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- This is unusual, not to say unlikely, that the first edit (except to put their name at the user page) by a new editor, just nine minutes after account creation, is a reporting of other editor at the ANI for edit warring. [18] It seems to be a SPI case. Beagel (talk) 15:48, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- I agree that YarisLife looks suspiciously like a sockpuppet. Let's not allow this side issue to lead us astray from the proper examination of Rangoon11's editing behavior. Binksternet (talk) 16:12, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- User:Rangoon11 has been vandalising Scottish company articles and categories for years, in blatant breach of official policy like WP:VERIFY. His aim seems to be to remove all and any references to Scotland or England / Scottish or English from every single company article (despite companies being legal entities, defined by their registration under Scots respectively English law), and to empty (out of process) Scottish company categories, circumventing WP:CFD. A total menace of an editor, made worse by an endless propensity for rude and abusive edit summaries. --Mais oui! (talk) 04:49, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- A recent flurry of edits is turning BP article into an attack site. Please compare it with the only FA on a large multinational company, Microsoft. The two articles a vastly different. Rangoon has bravely stuck his neck out in a attempt move the page towards being a good quality encyclopedia article rather than a list of 'everything bad we can find in a source anywhere to say about BP'. No administrative action is required. Maybe an RfC or a peer review or something else that focusses on encyclopedic quality is though. Martin Hogbin (talk) 16:11, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- Notwithstanding the edits by Rangoon11, the battleground atmosphere around this article has been a long-time issue. The recent last three days massive edits have caused new tensions. The harsh comments and baseless accusations at the talk page does not help to improve the overall atmosphere. Therefore, the BP article needs more close 24/7 surveillance by admins.
- In addition, [serious accusations about paid editing] have been posted by user:Binksternet to the article's talk page and been echoed by some other editors at different user talk pages. This should be investigated very seriously as, if true, this is a violation of the Wikipedia's core principles. Otherwise, these accusations should be removed as non-constructive. Beagel (talk) 16:22, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- I'm wondering how the report of a violation of 3RR, when those edits reverted corrections, agreed-upon changes and edits on behalf of the BP PR dept, has attracted comments about the editor reporting the issue and false claims about the overall dynamics of the page. FYI, the BP page has a good degree of content written word for word by BP, and the editors were asked to comb through all of this and work towards balance. We are now persecuted for it with labels of "battleground" and "attack site". As for the subject of this investigation, her edits were reckless and were made with no regard for the activity on the talk page or to the article itself. That is the issue at hand. petrarchan47tc 18:38, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- I personally am not out for blood, nor do I think anyone else who has had difficulties with this editor feels that way either, although I do note that apparently BP is not the only article where he has edit-warred, judging from the comment about the Scottish articles. What does concern me is that he was asked to self-revert, he did not, and now is back in the article talk page and shows no indication of a change of heart. Also, Petrarchan's point is correct. I could go on and on about how I don't like the atmosphere of that article and a number of other articles on Wikipedia. There was one particular edit yesterday that I found especially tendentious. So what? That's not why we're here. Coretheapple (talk) 19:38, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- Without comment on any of the underlying content or meta issues, I've blocked Rangoon11 (talk · contribs) for 1 month for a clear violation of the policy on edit-warring. The block length is based on his previous record here, which includes multiple blocks for issues including edit-warring and abusive sockpuppetry. MastCell Talk 17:08, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Article is in the IP topic area and subject to 1rr restrictions. User has been warned multiple times for violating 1rr regulations in several articles. He could have been reported on a number of previous occasions. I have brought this here because it seems clear the editor has no intention of following the rules in the topic area or using the talk page to resolve content disputes. Dlv999 (talk) 13:22, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
Finally when we are reaching a kind of agreement, you report me. It is very dishonest. I didn't violate 1RR rule in this article and I didn't even remove the controversial content this time, I just added a few more references and recovered some three images. For more information see here and the talk page.--IranitGreenberg (talk) 13:54, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- The images you "recovered" were previously removed by other editors, so that's a revert, the second one you have made today. 1rr rules are not optional. Dlv999 (talk) 13:59, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- No, I didn't revert anything. In fact, I leaved the controversial content since you recognized images are a different topic of discussion (you said: Kept all images, which is the only explanation for the deletion on talk). 1RR doesn't say I can't edit twice an article, only that I can't revert more than once per day.--IranitGreenberg (talk) 14:07, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- CarolmooreDC deleted the image, then you restored it - that is a revert, because you are undoing the actions of another editor. Dlv999 (talk) 14:22, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

User being reported: User:GDallimore
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Psychotronic_weapons&oldid=552942761
User:GDallimore has spent the entire morning removing historically significant information, sourced from US MIlitary, Government, and Russian government sources from the Psychotronics page, which purports to be about a single scientist, his "discovery" and the apparent lack of interest in it. Quite the contrary, there is a significant interest in the Russian Psychotronic weapons program, which has recently been re-ignited by Vladimir Putins 2012 comments about its funding. This is a 50 year old program, with zero presence on Wikipedia, yet this user has repeatedly censored it from the original article, and then completely erased the new Psychotronic weapons program on numerous occasions. He appears to be intentionally censoring this historically accurate and important information.
I am baffled as to why someone would attempt to remove these sources, which again, have come directly from U.S. Military publications, regarding the Russian program.

- Comment Damonthesis appears to be a POV warrior who has an agenda that mind control devices are real. They've been trying to add similar material at Stalking as an IP and under this account, and have argued tendentiously on the talkpage there. Acroterion (talk) 21:32, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- I count four reverts on one topic at Psychotronics [32] [33] [34] [35] and now tag-warring. Much the same thing is happening at Psychotronic weapons. Acroterion (talk) 21:38, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- The weapons are real as is expressed in a number of properly cited Military and Government sources on Psychotronic weapons. Your viewpoint that they are not is exactly what the problem is. You have routinely violated WP:RS on Stalking in order to suppress the viewpoint in the already cited sources that the weapons are possibly real. Further research shows that they are most definitely real, and have been investigated by both the USSR, as well as the NSA and US Army.Damonthesis (talk) 23:39, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- (Comment from involved editor): yup - Having failed to spin the original article, Damonthesis has just created a POV-fork of Psychotronics at Psychotronic weapons, and seems determined to spin as many questionable sources as possible to back up dubious claims regarding 'mind-control weapons', while omitting the salient fact that much of this is pure tinfoil-hattery. AndyTheGrump (talk) 21:39, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, psychotronic weapons is a POV fork founded on sources Damonthesis was abusing at Stalking. As I've reverted his original IP and have (fruitlessly) engaged them there, I'm involved. I'd further note that this report appears to be aimed atGDallimore in retribution for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Psychotronic weapons. Acroterion (talk) 21:42, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- This opinion, presented by Andy and Acroterion is contrary to all of the sources cited. The existence of the technology and research projects is unquestionable. It is supported in literature from the U.S. Army, and from the NSA. Were these users not attempting to remove these sources from the articles in question, that would be obvious. Instead, they insist on continually describing the possibility of the existence of well documented programs as delusional, contrary to any source cited.Damonthesis (talk) 00:06, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
- The AfD request was made after numerous edit reversions, removing properly cited sources that simply did not agree with his, and your, personal opinion. It is in essence just another edit-reversion. The only thing being accomplished here is providing a biased and untruthful personal opinion in lieu of the source materials unbiased approach.Damonthesis (talk) 00:08, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

I feel no need to comment. Thanks to everyone else. GDallimore (Talk) 22:59, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- Just to chime in, GDallimore has now stalked my edits, reverting them for no reason on other unrelated pages. Damonthesis (talk) 23:13, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bible_code&oldid=552960442&diff=prev for his attempts to continue to start edit wars on completely unrelated pages, this user is malicious.Damonthesis (talk) 23:19, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
As an uninvolved editor, I'm inclined to say that both sides have been pushing the boundaries a bit, Damonthesis appears to be POV pushing from their recent edits on the respectively reported pages. However, GDallimore also appears to be harassing Damonthesis on pages which they would not normally edit. I concur with Acroterion that it appears to be aimed in retribution for the AfD. Perhaps a short break for both editors from the articles they've engaged with each other on for a good day or so? If you both agreed to prohibit yourself from engaging with each other and actively warring, I'm sure this can be resolved and closed (Although I'm not an admin so my say holds no backing). + Crashdoom Talk 23:21, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- (Comment from an involved editor) I don't agree that GDallimore's actions are harassing. When you come across an editor who consistently abuses sources it's natural to try and clean up the mess they have left at other articles. - LuckyLouie (talk) 23:53, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- This is a personal attack. I am not abusing sources, the information under question is properly cited, from reputable sources. You have continually accused me of "original research" yet everything being presented is truly in the source material. Meanwhile, the action in question is clearly not a "mess" it was an analysts published contribution to a discussion about Bible Code.Damonthesis (talk) 23:58, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Sigh, guess I will have to chip in. This "harrassment" was exactly as LuckyLouie said - here we have an editor who has shown a clear inability to use sources properly. Three different editors have been telling him he is making improper syntheses from the sources and I am not the only person who has been undoing his edits - I was just the first to take a stand and say enough is enough, you are damaging the integrity of the articles and this will not be accepted. Nevertheless, every single one of my edits has been carefully considered and I have salvaged good sources that have been brought forward and attempted to use them in a neutral way without adding my own original research.
And yes, I went back over his edit history. This is something that MUST be done when you have an editor who is working on fringe articles because there is often insufficient editor coverage on those articles to double check the edits. If that is harrasssment or hounding then block me now because I will not stop trying to protect fringe articles from blatant POV-pushers. And what did I find in my background checks: A lengthy discussion and edit war at Stalking where Damonthesis (initally under an IP) was trying to push exactly the same POV based on the same set of sources and accusing anyone who reverted him of being malicious.
And then I found an edit he made to Bible code which proves my point entirely. It's a rarely edited article, so it needs a few extra people on hand. Damonthesis had made two edits, one which seemed OK and introduced a new source to support a previously cn'd claim - great. The other, however, shows this editor's inability to use source properly since the information he added to the article says the opposite to what the source actually says. I had to do some research since he hadn't provided a live link to the book he was quoting, but fortunately it was previewable on google docs.
- You are wrong. The quote was not misrepresented, and this is not the final reason you used after your third revert of this line. Your reasoning was incorrect, and as such it appeared to be a malicious edit. After your third time reverting, you now bring up that the author I cited was "quoting" an already quoted work. I'm honestly not even sure if that's correct, however the source was cited to clarify the discussion, in which the author explained his opinion of why the Bible Code is not "as profound as it appears." I still stand by the edit, it brings a plain english explanation to an otherwise bland and difficult to follow discussion. Regardless, I will check what source he was quoting now. Damonthesis (talk) 15:49, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
In all, this is an editor who makes changes based on hidden or difficult to find sources which he twists to fit his own POV. With an editor like this, the only thing to do is to salvage the sources, wipe the slate clean on his contributions and start again from scratch with the article itself. I can understand that Damonthesis has a problem with that, but I tried to be polite by reverting him and salvaging what I could over the course of 18 edits (starting here, explaining my actions carefully and in a considered way and I would be surprised if any reasonable person could say I was out of line in any edit I made.
- You salvaged nothing, reverted everything I added over a 6 hour period. After deciding that your page must be about a separate topic, and creating a page to properly cover a program which is in no way difficult to find references to you started merging information nearly 12 hours after completely erasing all of my sources. Still, to this very second, you have misrepresented those sources, and the "psychotronics" page makes almost zero reference to KGB or USSR involvement in the program, when in fact they were the source of the research and development. You may or may not have a biased viewpoint, but the page is completely inaccurate and deceptive. I, on the other hand, have provided a number of references which define the program, using US military and Russian governmental sources... these sources still do not appear anywhere in your "defining" section, making a cursory reader have no idea what the topic is about. The Psychotronics article as it is, appears to be a dictionary entry for a Czech doctors coining of a term, with a half sentence saying "since then its been used elsewhere." It is, in fact, the subsequent use (which by the way started before 1967, that defines the scope of the term, not this single doctor. Damonthesis (talk) 15:49, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
But when Damonthesis' response is to POV-fork the article, accuse people of censorship, suggest we're commie spies, say we're acting maliciously, bringing up other user's history of mental illness, and reporting me to ANI, then the time for being polite is over. GDallimore (Talk) 10:55, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
- The morning before I created a new article, you personally removed a significant amount of information sourced from the Army, Marines, and an NSA textbook which defined "psychotronics" much more broadly than your current page did. After doing so, you told me that my sources were "not related to psychotronics," which made it appear as if you have no idea what the "psychotronic" program actually is. Upon creating another page, to refer to the Soviet weapons program, you attempted to delete that page, and then submitted it for AfD, all the while your page did not at one time mention Soviet military involvement in "psychotronics" but rather attributed the term and its history to a Czech scientist. Either the page was factually inaccurate, or it was referring to a different subject. Either way, rather than argue and edit war with you, I attempted to create a page about the "Soviet psychotronics program." Since the AfD, a number of editors have now incorporated much of the information from that page into the original, however the original still purports to center around the invention and work of one pseudoscientist studying parapsychology, and makes it appear as if the Russian government had no interest or knowledge of the program until 2012. This is factually inaccurate, the program has been "in the hands of Russian military" for nearly all of the Cold War, and their research has been documented in Russian Universities. I didn't suggest you were commie spies, it was obviously a joke "if we were in the cold war"--regardless, you are essentially working to remove information about USSR weapons programs, which is public, and documented in US military research, from Wikipedia.

In light of user Gaijin42's continued hostile editing, denial of his actions even in the face of admin decisions, and personal attack on me at the article talk page, I suggest a more serious penalty be considered in this case. SPECIFICO talk 03:28, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
- SPECIFICO made a specific suggestion on my talk page as part of his warning notice. I have attempted to get clarification on that suggestion, and he has not done so. There is no edit war going on, and contrary to his assertion, none of the edits are the topic of an RFC. (The RFC is to delete the entire section, and it is clear there is no consensus in any direction regarding the RFC. ) AGF works both ways. The "Personal attack" was that I said Specificos repeated analogy saying "Why would I care about Hitler's gun policies? Again, it's no more significant than his preference for mayo rather than the more conventional mustard on his sausage" was trolling, which is not a personal attack, and a statement that I stand by. Gaijin42 (talk) 03:37, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
- Further, SPECIFICO is attempting to wikilawer via techicalities. "revert" #2 is a statement which was left over from a previous version of the section, and is no longer applicable to the new organization. (The section previously was a combined "gun control and authoritarian governments" section. the statement now was in a "Nazi germany" section, so mentioning Italy was off topic. this was a copyedit, not a revert. The remaining portion of that sentence was removed by SPECIFICO shortly after that edit, so it is not even feasible to self-revert that "revert"Gaijin42 (talk) 03:43, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
- Not a 3RR violation. Please understand 3RR is a revert rule, not an edit rule. Just because some editor does 3 edits that you disagree with doesn't mean he's violated 3RR. Anyone can look at the article history at Gun control and see that there were no revisions by anyone else between Gaijan's four "reverts" listed above. That's not edit warring. This is nothing more than wikilawyering on the part of SPECIFICO, and it's very poor. The case listed below (another report by SPECIFICO) appears to be a similar story.

- Well sure SPECIFICO, if you want to get really technical, any edit could be considered a "revert" because technically any edit on Wikipedia undoes other editor's actions. But that's not how 3RR works. Looking at the article history at Gun control makes it very obvious that 3RR was not violated or even approached in this case. ROG5728 (talk) 04:17, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Antiochus COI, three times revert
i asked here for advise on how to best handle the Dokeos article, and it was proposed to bring it up here. Antiochus reverted with a comment "advertisement for Chamilo" or similar three times. afaik it was first added by Acuna007, and removed here, here, here, here. i had a talk with thomas de praetere, the author of dokeos and also editor of the article, about it as well. there were former reverts stating there is too much advertising in the dokeos article, which was my impression as well. i do not feel comfortable to touch this again - i did make my point (even more often then i should do) and somebody else did not like it, which is fair enough. if you could pls advise who should proceed how in such a case? or it is best to just leave it alone? --ThurnerRupert (talk) 10:13, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Not all reverts are reverts of the same text. Last, 5th revert fall outside the 24 hour period, but it shows that user intends to edit war despite the ungoing discussion. This is my argument to include information [62]. This is his response. This material is well sourced and does not fall under BLP exemption because people described in the removed segment are dead.
This user was previously blocked for 3RR violation. He knows what he is doing. User was notified [63].
Comments:
- [See reply to Wished below.] No action. No 3R, technically, and while there is discussion on the talk page I don't see a clear consensus on whether the material should be included. BLP does apply since living people are involved (in the article as a whole--and inferences are suggested in the removed material) in the US (unless I missed an obit for Dzhokhar) and elsewhere, and should be read to prompt us to edit conservatively. Drmies (talk) 18:16, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
- According to Wikipedia:Edit warring, "An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page—whether involving the same or different material". Which of these four reverts was not a revert? However, if you believe that no action is needed, this is obviously at your discretion. My very best wishes (talk) 19:01, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
- Tell you what, my mind was still working with an older (and less clear) version of the 3R policy. I still don't think this should be acted upon (and I don't like the "whether" phrase), but I invite another admin to look at this and make their own judgment and have removed my "nothing" in the heading. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 20:02, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Note. I've reviewed the history. Polarscribe has indeed violated WP:3RR, but only in the most technical sense. What disturbs me more is the last revert that fell outside the 24-hour window. Thus, I have asked Polarscribe not to edit the article at all for five days. If they accept that restriction, there will be no block.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:45, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
- Per WP:BLP, the removal of contentious material relating to living persons is not subject to the 3RR and I removed the material in the good-faith belief that the removal was to such ends. I have ceased reverting the material as it would be WP:POINT edit-warring at this point but it is clear that there is not consensus that the material is related to the person in question. I do not agree to a page ban, quite obviously. polarscribe (talk) 22:19, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
- Also, yes, I "was previously blocked for 3RR violation" - eight years ago. polarscribe (talk) 22:16, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
Blocked – for a period of 24 hours. I don't see any significant BLP violations in the material. Interestingly, Polarscribe didn't claim the BLP exemption until after the fact. His last edit summary: "again, this is not a biography of two other people or a discussion of their alleged actions. Stop attaching guilt by association". In another edit summary: " Irrelevant". Another: "The details of how they died are not relevant to the biography of this person". In another: "This article isn't a biography of Nidal or Plotnikov. Tangential." Just so it's clear, the block had absolutely nothing to do with any previous blocks. I don't care about a block that occurred 8 years ago, particularly when reviewing a long-standing editor with many contributions.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:31, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
- I agree. This is not a BLP issue at all. Since Nidal and Plotnikov are dead, the living person is apparently Tsarnaev. Polarscribe probably means that association of Tsarnaen with Nudal and Plotnikov implies the guilt of Tsarnayev [in the bombing] by association. But Tsarnaev is guilty in the bombing according to practically all sources and therefore must be described as a guilty party per WP:NPOV (we should not count any fringe views here). If he was actually convicted by a court is not really important, since we must describe everything per sources, not per court decisions. My very best wishes (talk) 17:46, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, I am not sure he learned the lesson: edit warring in another article immediately after coming back from the block [64]. He also should be warned that such edits fall under Armenia-Azerbaijan discretionary sanctions by Arbcom. My very best wishes (talk) 15:14, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

There is no consensus on how the cast should be ordered in cast section in film articles. Eaglestorm reverted one of Bluerule's edits on The Dark Knight and I reverted two of them, which means he committed 3RR violation. He will probably says things at us that we did some violations too. But regardless of that, how he's been editing on film articles has been disruptive at best. We need to do something with him. BattleshipMan (talk) 18:55, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Declined. Technically, Bluerules did make three reverts (the first edit is a revert), which, although edit warring, is not a violation of WP:3RR. That said, I'm going to take their statement here as a promise to leave the article alone.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:43, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

They appear to have been unresponsive to most, and combative to other attempts to discuss. What bothers me most is a comment they made on their talk page: "Consensus is never a replacement for fact." which clearly shows that they have an agenda that they deem greater than the community view.

This editor has engaged in a pattern of reverts of several other editors. He has been warned about edit warring numerous times on both his own user's talk page and on the article's talk page but has persisted with his reverts. When other editors tried to reach consensus with him on the article's talk page, he responses have been very hostile claiming he knows more about the subject than anyone else in the world, insisting on using his own blog as a source and accusing of being "Orwellian". The reverts listed above are only those in the last 24 hours. There are many more going back several days.

Comment The block was laid down for the revert vandalism on this page, but would still have gone through for the edit warring regardless. - Vianello (Talk) 20:14, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Aaron Swartz and Carmen Ortiz, BLP-contentious material dispute, going on 3 weeks
Nowhere near 3RR yet. MarkBernstein — formerly in conjunction with David in DC — has been reverting my edits (mostly contentious) about BLPs at both Aaron Swartz (BDP-suicide) and Carmen Ortiz (BLP), typically within hours.
The new information at Dervorguilla user talk:FWIW could be helpful. MarkBernstein at “Eastgate Systems” announced at About Tekka that his company (“Tekka” with the same location) was publishing a book by Aaron Swartz. (“Aaron Swartz, the 17-year-old who has for years been an established expert on metadata and the semantic Web, is writing a book called Small Is Beautiful that will debut here.”)
I want to revert the relevant content at Carmen Ortiz that appears to be false statements without having it immediately restored again by MarkBernstein and without getting close to 3RR territory.

- I am currently serving as program chair of ACM Web Science 2013, and so will be busy in the coming days. Devorguilla's research is prodigious: my employer’s house magazine, TEKKA, did publish some work by Swartz seven or eight years ago. I'd completely forgotten those discussions about getting teenage Swartz to write a book. Like many book projects, alas, it didn't come to fruition. For what it’s worth, Devorguilla has been trying for months (not weeks) to remove references from a variety of sources, with little or no support from other editors. Interested readers will find quite a bit of discussion on the talk pages.MarkBernstein (talk) 07:49, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
- The TEKKA website presents you as more than just an "employee". I think that your words on it suggest a stronger connection that you seem to imply here to the Swartz article. My concern is with the Ortiz article which is a full degree away from Swartz - where there is a subsection on Swartz which by Wikipedia standards should only summarize the Swartz article and not be a mirror if it, and which is subject to WP:BLP.

- I've been chief scientist at Eastgate Systems, Inc. since 1982. As I recall, in this period the editor of Tekka was Dr. Anja Rau, but of course ultimately Dr. Rau reported to me. My biography is fairly easily researched, as is my own writing if that’s of interest to you.

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: Editor's talk page is full of them.
Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: see editor's talk page, Orlady's talk page, article talk page, especially the RfC which BBB76 does not wish to participate in.
Comments: What's happening is that BBB does not like the term "singleton" and wants readers to look at the table containing all kinds of information for nineteen children and generate from that there were no triplets etc. "Singleton", they said, was too complicated a word for them. Orlady started an RfC, and BBB reverted me again without participating in it. We're dealing with an editor with a bad case of IDIDNTHEARTHAT whose contributions to these TV show articles we can do without. This is a long-term irritation and it needs to stop, with a block and a fat trout or so, of the non-humorous kind. Also, I hope that I'm not rubbing Orlady the wrong way by filing this in addition to the RfC, but it seems to me that BBB has no intention to participate or live with its result--we sound, apparently, like a broken record. Drmies (talk) 03:20, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
- I started that RfC on the article talk page because I hoped to prevent BBB76 from becoming one of those users who asserts that they are being pushed around by the Wikipedia power structure. I figured that comments from other users might have a positive effect. The user's latest revert, after the RfC was started, indicates that I was foolish to be so optimistic. Over at the related article List of 19 Kids and Counting episodes, I've been pleased to see signs that this user is catching on to the knack of avoiding WP:Close paraphrasing and other forms of copyvio, but we've been sparring over things like the word "midwifery" and the user's apparent allergy to including anything other than bare urls in reference citations. Sigh! --Orlady (talk) 04:49, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
- I'm probably the first editor to encounter problems with this user (unless they had a different name before) as you can see by looking at the history of 19 Kids and Counting. I should have reported long ago, but I guess I didn't really know how to go about that. And I thought the behavior would change, but obviously not. --Musdan77 (talk) 05:44, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Comments:
Polarscribe has just returned from an edit warring block about BLP material (see above) and is now again involved in a BLP-related edit war about what he thinks are unreliable sources. I've notified them about possible discretionary sanctions about topics regarding Armenia/Azerbaijan as set out at WP:ARBAA2. While the topic is being discussed with little outcome at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard#Hamid Algar and Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Periodical of Armenian Students suitable for WP:BLP, Polarscribe keeps removing content from the article without waiting for consensus. I have therefore restored one previous version of the article but Polarscribe promptly reverted me. De728631 (talk) 18:42, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
