I am concerned by massive deletions by NorthBySouthBaranof and have asked him multiple times in the Talk page to discuss the deletions, so that material can be improved. |

He insists on deleting and re-deleting the material instead of engaging on the talk page. |

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. |

User Goodsdrew and I are debating rather Haitians should be considered Latino are not. I insisted that Haitians are Latino and should be included in the Latino/Hispanic category. Every time I add a Latin category on Haitian Canadians and Haitian Americans, he/she removes them without showing any evidence that Haitians are not Latino. I already explain on the talk pages (Talk:Haitian_Canadians, Talk:Haitian_American, and Template_talk:Hispanics/Latinos) why Haitians are Latino however he/she is not being coherent.

- Temporary fully protection for these page is what I recommend. Theres is a debate that is moving forward - just need theses 2 to stop editing the pages in-question and just talk. It is going to be a long debate as both parties have sources backing both claims ,,,, so lets lock up the page till the debate is over. Both have reverted to many times and blocking both will not move things forward,,,, talking will. Moxy (talk) 20:38, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
Editor fails to engage on talk page or list sources to back up his position. With his latest actions, he has reverted four times within close to 24 hours (his fourth edits on each article was just outside the 24-hour window).Goodsdrew (talk) 22:41, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
- The user engaging in edit warring is CoCoLumps, not me. CoCoLumps has violated the three revert rule--I have not violated it. I have tried to engage with CoCoLumps on the talk page. CoCoLumps refuses to provide sources to back up his contentions, but instead continually reverts. (See report of CoCoLumps below for further details).Goodsdrew (talk) 22:44, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Comments:
The article Zionism is under 1 revert rule-The overriding of my (and others) editions through POV pushing, for many consecutive times, combined with removal of other sourced material and its replacement at least twice in 24h in the same article, though violation of 1RR is edit warring. Not to mention the clear context dispute to which user Pluto2012 is very much involved and where he accused other editors of edit warring and "propaganda" while reprehending them for the violation of 1RR, which now he commits.[26] Regarding context dispute: [27],[28].The two edits, removal of long standing material and its replacement with other, came after a removal of huge portion of material by the same user in the same day.I made my best by notifying the editor and asking him for self revert which he after asking for specifications simply ignored.--Tritomex (talk) 09:50, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
Comment by Nishidani
On Pluto's page, Tritomex raised his suspicion, and was informed by two very experienced editors, User:Nableezy and User:Sean.hoyland, who have great familiarity with 1R that he had misread the evidence. Nableezy, for one, has often hauled me over the coals when I have inadvertently erred on 1R, and told me to revert, and never allows personal feelings to disturb his judgement. I myself suggested Tritomex crosscheck with a third party or admin before bothering this forum. He didn't. If the admin confirms that their judgements were correct, I would suggest a word with Tritomex over WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT and vexatious complaining be appropriate.Nishidani (talk) 10:10, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
- I understand that all 3 editors are friends making together numerous edits related to Palestinians. However, removing my material and material from other editors, by Pluto2012 in one day, in the article under 1RR, later replacing it with his own material is edit waring. As I said all of this happened after he reprehended other editor (who was sanctioned for the same behavior) for 1RR violation.[29]--Tritomex (talk) 10:28, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
- False, and don't personalize this as a POV-battle. None are 'friends' (as far as I know), and in any case, as I said, Nableezy has often confirmed the reading of 1R against me made by a partisan 'on the other side'. Neither Sean, nor Nableezy. nor Pluto have in the past had the slightest hesitation in challenging me if they think I have made a dubious edit. Please look up Amicus Plato, sed magis amica veritas.Nishidani (talk) 10:41, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

There has been plenty of edit warring at that article but diffs 2 and 3 cited above are not examples of the edit warring. They are the 2 consecutive edits shown below.

The edits replaced an image that was added here @19:57, 27 February 2012 by user R-41 more than 14 months ago. It is I suppose technically a revert of a 14 month old edit but I don't think it can reasonably be argued that it is edit warring. There has been no edit warring over the image. Pluto was not edit warring with anyone by making these 2 edits. The 1RR restrictions and this noticeboard are in place stop edit warring, not prevent article development and improvement.

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: article is subject to WP:ARBPIA rule on 1RR, with notice prominently displayed on talk page, on which Nataev has participated.
Comments: Note that whether the editor removing the POV template should be doing so is a separate question from whether there is a violation of 1RR here. Also please look at this ANI discussion, where Nataev is seen talking about the subject of this article in very derogatory terms. In addition to a sanction for 1RR, I would request that Nataev be banned from editing this article, on grounds of repeated BLP violations.
—Nomoskedasticity (talk) 11:04, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
- When I came across the article the other day I realized it was very biased. After reading the discussions on the talk page I became convinced that Goldblum himself has been editing the article. I find this alarming. Now Goldblum and Nomoskedasticity are trying to get me blocked. I have asked a dozen of experienced users who have access to CheckUser to help us determine whether Goldblum is indeed writing about himself. I honestly don't find this subject interesting at all. My only concern is that I believe it's wrong to write about yourself and try to get blocked anyone who questions what you're writing. I wish I could be left out of this entirely. I have far more important things to do. Now that I have notified more than a dozen of experienced users about my concerns, I hope they will take appropriate action regarding Goldblum's use of two accounts to edit the article about himself. I leave it to them to decide where the article is biased or not. Nataev (talk) 12:01, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
- Blocked for 48h mainly as a result of continuing the BLP violations at WP:ANI after the above post ([32]) as well as the 1RR claimed here. Black Kite (talk) 13:22, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
- Note Per this ANI discussion, a topic ban has been enacted, "Nataev is indefinitely banned from making any edits about Amiram Goldblum everywhere on Wikipedia."

NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 06:44, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
I agree with NorthBySouthBaranof here. There has been a series of such edits by a number of single purpose (and almost certainly Sock-puppet) accounts on the article. Also, I myself reverted 4 times in less than 24 hours but I hope 3RR does not apply in my case since this is obvious vandalism. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 06:52, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
- Reverts of sockpuppets of blocked or banned users are exempt from 3RR. Most of yours were reverting User:Eyeteststar and User:Thenightchicagodied, both of which have been blocked for sockpuppetry. I would think that would cover it. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 07:00, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
- In that case, two of my reverts are for already-blocked users. Which is why I reverted again. I hope there are no further reverts, after the semi-protection. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 07:38, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Solntsa90 shows a problematic behavior regarding this article (see also here). Culture of Israel should be under 1RR, but if not, the user already violated 3RR.--IranitGreenberg (talk) 13:28, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
- This isnt a revert. Further, most of those are contiguous edits, counting for only 1 revert. This and this are contiguous, as are this and this. Id also invite people to look at the rest of the talk page that IG linked (here) nableezy - 13:39, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
- This is a revert. This is a revert. This is a revert... and there are more. Culture of Israel (which relates to Arabs) should be under 1RR (just like Palestinian people), but Solntsa90 also broke 3RR. Funny now you don't seem to be so strict (like you are with me) about these rules.--IranitGreenberg (talk) 13:46, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
- Those first two are contiguous, they only count as one as one revert. If you want to lecture others on the rules then go read the rules. Contiguous reverts are counted as a single revert. So no, the user hasnt broken 3RR. nableezy - 14:44, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
- The first one was a revert of my edit. The second one was also a revert (he eliminated a picture). It's very clear.--IranitGreenberg (talk) 14:47, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
- Do you really not understand what the word contiguous means? It's very clear. But in case its not here you go. nableezy - 14:54, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Declined. There's been no WP:3RR violation. I'm not going to construe the very last edit as a revert because it was a good-faith correction of what the editor had done earlier. As for whether the article should be subject to WP:ARBPIA, I'm not going to make a determination on that now, but even if it were, for a new editor to be sanctioned when there's absolutely no notice, would be unfair. As a nit-pick, the word is "consecutive", not "contiguous", but you have the concept down, nableezy.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:07, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

User being reported: Sigiheri (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
This user has reverted two edits today to put the article back to a state that they placed it in on May 6. I reverted their May 6 edit and reverted their first reversion so am reluctant to go to 3RR. They got the article to that state by reverting User:Blue-Haired Lawyer1 and User:Srnec reversions of the same or very similar edits [[49]]. The edits remove important material about what a Corporation is - well sourced content that is so basic that it does not even need to be sourced - Shareholders are the owners of a Corporation. The issue has been covered on the talk page. The editor got a 32 day hour block for similar edits recently. I'm requesting that someone else consider reverting their most recent changes and consider administrative action on this. Legacypac (talk) 18:03, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
- This person, Legacypac, saw that I posted on the Dissolutions (?) page and, based on that, reverted got into an edit war with me. I would think that editors are not supposed to find the trouble (on dissolution page) then create more trouble rather than help to resolve the issue. You can see where Legacy and I have discussed the issue on the TALK page for Corporations. You be the judge and let me know how to handle the situation in the most productive way possible. Thanks.Sigiheri (talk) 18:13, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
- I saw the topic posted on Resolutions. Came and read the arguments and offered my view in an attempt to help resolve the dispute. Instead of accepting my view as an editor not involved in the debate, you debated me. I suggest the best way to handle this productively is to cease removing well sourced basic material and stop inserting junk that can't be supported by any law textbook or article. Every editor you have encountered across multiple pages (that I have seen) disagrees with these edits. Legacypac (talk) 18:52, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Also see [[58]] for a recent block and the reasons which include edits to this Corporation article.
- Just a note (from a neutral DRN volunteer) that FWIW there is a request pending at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard#corporation.2C joint-stock company.2C shareholder.2C share.2C finance.2C corporate finance.2C and others concerning a related matter, though it appears that there is a good chance that it will be closed without assistance from DRN due to lack of response from the participants other than Sigiheri. Also note that Legacypac was not added to that request until after this EW complaint was filed. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 18:56, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
- Legacypac-Why do you think I'm wrong when neither you nor any other editor who disagreed with me provided ANY evidence to the contrary. ZERO. Does Wikipedia based its decisions on the number of editors who on one side or do the weigh the evidence? If it's the latter case, then you don't really have a good case against me.Sigiheri (talk) 19:18, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

User 50.72.139.25 / 50.72.177.136 gets into a tremendous snit, and launches into extended ranting tirades and pointless personal attacks, if everyone doesn't agree with him 100% about everything. His actions have already resulted in semi-protection for the article and a temporary ban for himself. The natural place to ask for help about his current assault on the article talk page would be "Requests for page protection", but they've adopted some kind of policy of deliberate intentional ineffectuality in this type of case (see Wikipedia talk:Requests for page protection), so I'm coming here...

- I am enjoying the edit war because I know for a FACT that Kurgan Theory is a fringe theory for NON-linguists who actually fail to understand that language works as a series of waves, not like in genetics where there is a clear ancestry and a clear direction of inheritance. If I QUOTE DIRECTLY FROM AN ENCYCLOPEDIA AS DETAILED AS BRITANNICA and this asshole is telling me that a single book from a single author 'has more weight' (POV!) , yeah I tell you to fuck yourself because WP becomes a video game. So let's play! Rock on!

I want to help the necrosis along by arguing in favour of most widely accepted academic views while telling assholes to fuck off and die. LOL! This obviously means that I am "bad" to the simplistic talentless unacademic WP admin trolls because they want to live in a digital ivory tower where their mediocrity is left unchallenged.

Although I wasn't the only user that advised him that this isn't enough to reject the specific claim so easily, he responded by making aggressive comments in his edit summaries [67][68], removing even the pov tag, without waiting for the discussion to reach an end. I've tried to resolve the issue in every way possible: on the article talk page, as well as advised him kindly that he should calm down. I even told him gently that a pov tag needs to be removed after the issue is settled [[69]] but in vain.Alexikoua (talk) 21:54, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Still he is trying to cover up the massacre, he states that he is of Greek ancestry this may explain his non neutral denying behavior.DragonTiger23 (talk) 16:54, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

This is a bit tricky; after removing Category:Black American Emcee's from The Kidd Creole, I received an eMail from User:Nathaniel Glover jr saying 'please don't edit my article', and that he had reinstated the category. I just reverted on the grounds that it was a ridiculous request and currently, I'm at three reverts and he's at four. The following is the eMail conversation:
- I'm sure your trying but PLEASE DO NOT EDIT this page (The Kidd Creole) any more I DO NOT need you to contribute to it no one knows more about subject than me so I repeat PLEASE DO NOT EDIT this page (plus you keep taking out Black American Emcee's stop this it's annoying....it's like you have something against this category?....you shouldn't because most of the rappers are Black American) your not adding anything so I wish you would stop....thank you
- I've only edited it once and that was to remove the category. Create the category, and then we'll talk about it.
- Let's be adult about this there's nothing to discuss please do not edit the page any more please....thank you
- No. The page, or indeed any article, shouldn't contain nonexistent categories. If there is enough pages to fit the category, it will be created. Also, if you are Kidd Creole, you shouldn't be writing about yourself - although you've seen the messages on your talk pages. I won't flog a dead horse.
- If we we're face to face would you have the same attitude? And I'm sure you (and I) have better things to do. Can you just stop please okay what what difference does it make to you whether not the categories nonexistent how do you know if I'm going to create a category. Okay stop being a child alright be an adult and stop editing the page okay just stop....thank you
- Absolutely. As I've said, create the category first. Now please read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:3RR before proceeding further.
- What are you some kind of Internet nerd hiding behind a computer? I wish you would just leave me alone okay you need to just find some other category to edit....there are thousands of them you need to leave me alone okay because you're annoying me Leave me alone and leave the Page alone
- Absolutely. As I've said, create the category first. Now please read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:3RR before proceeding further.

Tomticker5 changed the page today to put a more convincing summary in place, one that makes Gustave Whitehead look more like he was a successful flyer. He was reverted four times, two times each by two other editors, and he reverted/restored four times the phrase "eyewitness accounts". Binksternet (talk) 01:06, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
- I don't agree that a reference to the Wright brothers must be in the first few introductory sentences of Gustave Whiteheads article to establish notability. The "controversy" is over whether he flew or not in 1901 lies mostly with the Smithsonian. There have been several recent statements by leading aviation authorities that he did in fact fly in 1901. In my opinion, you must cite the root cause of the controversy at the Smithsonian. The flight was witnessed by an editor of a newspaper and several other people who later swore out affidavits that Whitehead flew in 1901. You must also, for the sake of the reader of this article who is not familiar with the Wright brothers, and insert the date of their flights that occurred two years later in 1903. Then, the reader will understand that the credibility of the eyewitnesses who saw Whitehead fly in 1901 are being put in doubt by some not all aviation historians and the flights made by the Wright brothers, two years later, are considered first by some, but not all leading aviation historians.Tomticker5 (talk) 01:43, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
- I agree with Tomticker5. Actually, Binksternet is trying to control the Gustave Whitehead page as he/she has been guarding it and continuing to insert misleading information. This was occurring with my edits several weeks ago. Gustave Whitehead has been recognized by the only non-conflicted world authority there is, Jane's All the World Aircraft, "the aviation bible", as first in flight. There are fanatics regarding the Wright Brothers who see it nearly (or virtually) as a religion that are very incensed by this appropriate, well-considered recognition. They continually try to disparage any recognition. Smithsonian cannot weigh in on this as they are bound by legal contract to only recognize the Wrights as first in flight. This page on Gustave Whitehead needs to accurately and neutrally reflect the credit Whitehead has been given and what the controversy was, but mostly focus on the accomplishments of Whitehead. The "Wrighteous" need to stop bashing Whitehead, they are the ones doing the edit warring. Binksternet is definitely in need of monitoring and reporting. This page should not be vandalized by the attacks of those Wright-favoring fanatics who cannot accept that Whitehead has been determined to fly first. In fact, B. may be a Smithsonian plant or employee, in my opinion. I support Tomticker5 wholeheartedly. We cannot have history defaced. AviationHist1 (talk) 15:37, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
- Note that Tomticker5 has not addressed the root issue of reverting-type behavior. He emphasizes the content dispute but this noticeboard is for behavior. AviationHist1 continues in the same vein, describing the content dispute. Binksternet (talk) 00:40, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

The main issue in the edit war is the IP user's insistence on using the term "propaganda film" to describe the film instead of using less controversial terms such as "historical film" and "historical drama film". He/she has received three reminders (in edit summaries) from User:Jonathanfu and I to stop reverting, discuss the issue on the talk page, and provide references to support the "propaganda claim". Our words were apparently ignored. About three hours ago, the IP user changed "historical drama film" to "war film", stating in the edit summary that the use of "war novel" to describe The Red Badge of Courage is the basis for the change. I reverted this edit because I feel that it is going off-topic.
The IP user has a dynamic IP address which starts with "121.44" so we can only communicate through edit summaries and on the talk page. But, clearly, the IP user has seen our edit summaries, based on his/her editing pattern. He/she did not make any response on the talk page.

Warning on user talk page[[113]]
Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on another article talk page where consensus was against these actions: [114]
:Discussions had taken place regarding broadening the article AC/DC (electricity) where this editor could not receive any consensus, from three other editors, to include more types of equipment into this article. He was told that the lede clearly stated the topic inclusion since inception in 2008 with it's first edit. With a failure to inject off-topic AC/DC motors edits into the article he moved to the disambiguation page to edit the link to include his topic change to include AC/DC equipment not covered by the article. User:I B Wright has also reverted his edits to the article topic. Although, technically this editor has not reached four similar edits on this exact page AC/DC disambiguation s/he was aware that the edits were not desirable and an incorrect description, of the article linked to, from previous negative result consensus discussions. Edits on the disambiguation page were WP:POINTY and against these previous article talk page discussions.
174.118.142.187 (talk) 03:54, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
- The IP "reporting" this is revert-warring me, namely leaving messages on my talk page threatening 3RR complaints and then reverting AC/DC (disambiguation) once again to their preferred version. There was no consensus from other editors as the question of whether the scope of the article includes off-line SMPS is still under discussion at talk:AC/DC (electricity). Furthermore, the only discussion on the disambig page is about bisexuality. This would appear to be one IP who has decided that AC/DC (electricity) excludes the "AC/DC motor" (not just the off-line switched-mode power supply) and has taken WP:OWNership of the article unilaterally. Removing valid information from articles just to reduce their scope to one particular radio design which has been obsolete since the 1970s (or earlier) is neither constructive nor helpful. "AC/DC motor" does belong in AC/DC (disambiguation), regardless of one IP's love for a completely obsolete vacuum tube radio which used the term on its nameplate. If this user wants to turn AC/DC (electricity) into a discussion of one device instead of any device operable from DC, perhaps that article should be on another title to indicate that it's about just the AC/DC broadcast receiver (we already have All American Five radio which overlaps such a proposed article by at least 50%, were it created). This is agenda-pushing and I'm disappointed to see it as "AC/DC motor" is AC/DC and is electrical. K7L (talk) 13:12, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
- Looking more closely, the first of my edits listed is not a revert and should not have been mislabelled as such. K7L (talk) 15:28, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
- Please read WP:BRD. You boldly edited and were reverted by User:I B Wright. Without talk page discussion you then injected the same edit again and I corrected your edit. You again injected the same WP:POINTY edit and I reverted it again, after the warning on your talk page. Your rash of confusion misinformation spewed above is not supported by edit histories. No talk page discussion was initiated by yourself (the onus was on you) on the disambiguation page but previous discussion on the AC/DC (electricity) talk page, you were involved in, clearly indicates three editors do not want your AC/DC motor subject matter inserted in the article and each of your attempts was reverted by other editors. Then you shopped for another injection article AC/DC (disambiguation) with attempts to broaden the article content again. That is editwarring. Currently you have begun to fling personal attacks on myself with IPsockpuppet insults[[115]], as well as suggesting I don't understand English.[[116]] As suggested previously to you in discussions WP:DROPTHESTICK.

- Why are you reporting me? I've tried to explain to the dynamic IP editors that this information is not approprite for the article on the English Wiki, where there is only general info about the channel. This information is about a case that even I didn't know it existed and even though it had referencies it has no encyclopedic value. The dynamic IP's come from Bulgaria, so I've asked them to put the information on the Bulgarian Wikipedia. They just keep reverting my edits and say that they are harmed by TV7 and whant everybody in the world to see this. This is a very small thing just trying to give an international bad image to the channel. It violates Wikipedia core values of neutrality.--The TV Boy (talk) 13:11, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
Page protected. I've fully protected the article for a week. The material removed by The TV Boy has no business being in the article as it was presented and sourced, but not necessarily for the reasons articulated by The TV Boy.

Blocked – for a period of 48 hours. Both editors were edit warring. However, I blocked only the IP because of the nature of the IP's edits, which were disruptive. @SudoGhost, I understand why you reverted so many times, but your only policy-based exemption is vandalism.

I was trying to help the article by reducing the overcategorization and removing a huge template that overwhelmed the article. When that was reverted, I tried to suggest other ways the article needed better sourcing, because there aren't solid sources to support the article's notability. The sources are either comments, or only mention the topic of the article peripherally. But the editor refused to consider any of my problems with the article and reverted every edit I made within minutes. Maybe I'm not doing the right thing here, as it's his article. Farrajak (talk) 02:55, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
- In response to Farrajak's comment. I appreciate that, inspired by the notability tag, said user applied him/herself to altering the article, and quite possibly with the best of intentions. I reverted the various edits, as I have explained on the Talk Page, because the said user was requesting: a) that the "Psychoanalysis" template should be removed (when other Psychoanalytic journals carry this template, for ex: International Journal of Psychoanalysis, or at least it did until today when said user removed it after I quoted it as an example on the Talk Page); b) that the selected list of contributors be referenced, when clearly this is in no way a contentious issue; c) that the brief description of the journal content be referenced, when clearly this too is in no way contentious. Furthermore, said user alleged that: d) the existing references do not include the content they purport to include (which I refuted on the Talk Page). I respect the good faith of said user in seeking to alter the page in such a way as to improve notability, but none of these items will influence the notability of the journal, nor justify its notability in the article. In his/her attempted defence of his/her edits, Farrajak has shown a strong degree of incoherence and inconsistency. I repeatedly asked said user to be more specific in stating his/her qualms, and to refrain from altering the page directly until agreement could be reached on the Talk Page. I think the discussion on the Talk Page will speak for itself, but I remain available for further comment.
Refusecollection (talk) 03:30, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
Note. Perhaps both of you can explain what the policy justification is for your edit warring. Hint: the correct answer is there is none. I'd like to see an acknowledgment from both of you that your conduct has been disruptive and that you won't do it again. If I had more time (I'm about to go off-wiki), I'd extract a promise from you that neither of you can edit the article at all for seven days to avoid being blocked. Instead, I'll let another admin handle this as they see fit.--Bbb23 (talk) 03:35, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
- Dear Bbb23. Thank you for your comment. For my part, I would prefer to see the page stay as it is, and so for me there would be no problem whatsoever with not touching it for 7 days. I haven't added anything at all to the article, of which I am the original author, for some months now. My only activity today has been to undo what I saw to be unwarranted edits from Farrajak. The quicker this can be put behind us the better. Refusecollection (talk) 03:47, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
- The edit war notice above refers to both Farrajak and yourself, Refusecollection. And just now, somebody else than Farrajak made an edit and you reverted despite the above warnings. That's your fourth or fifth revert in the last 15 hours, meaning that you are way beyond what 3RR allows. --Randykitty (talk) 14:06, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Page protected The edits linked in the report took place over two months ago. In addition, the editor making the report was edit-warring, so if any action had been taken against any individuals it would certainly have included blocking that editor. However, since it is a very long-running dispute among numerous editors, page protection is more appropriate than blocking individual editors. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:15, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
