S-70 vs. S-76
All Boeing 747s from the SP to the -8 have the same Type Certificate. All Boeing 737s from the -100 to the -900ER have the same Type Certificate. The Bell 206 and 206L have the same Type Certificate. The Bell 204, 205 and 210 have the same Type Certificate. The Bell 212 and 412 have the same Type Certificate. The MBB Bo-105 has a very similar drive train to the MBB/Kawasaki BK-117 but they are not the same aircraft and have different Type Certificates. The S-70 and S-76 do not have the same Type Certificate. The Sikorsky CH-53 and CH-54 have the same drive train but are not the same aircraft. The S-70 and S-76 have different drive trains, even the ref you added to the S-76 article says so: "Design of the commercial S-76 was begun during 1975, using scaled down rotor and tail components from the S-70" [italics added]. Different drive train, different fuselages of different dimensions, different landing gear of opposite configuration, different engines, different weights, different Type Certificates = Not The Same. To use your car analogy, you are trying to say that your Honda Civic is the same as a Honda Accord. YSSYguy (talk) 05:35, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
- To which I have to add that you brought this issue to discussion at Talk:Sikorsky S-76, failed to win any support for what you want to add, because the refs you supplied indicate that you are wrong and the consensus was to not add your claims to the article, but you tried to add it anyway with refs that don't support your claims and had it reverted. Continued attempts to push your POV, such as adding your unsupported allegations against consensus, will be considered vandalism. - Ahunt (talk) 10:08, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
- And that will result in a block. - The Bushranger One ping only 17:45, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
There are two arguments. The first argument is the argument about the edit that is in question. Factually, the blades are shorter, the main rotor hub is the same, the main rotor elastometric bearing is the same, the transmission is of the same design, the bearingless tail rotor.
On what grounds do you base your claim that the edit was factually incorrect? What is the basis of your statement that the drivetrains are different?
On the second argument, are you saying type certification is the metric to judge whether one aircraft is the same as another? The Bell 206 and the uh-1 don't seem to have the same type certificates.
If the only difference between the ch-53 and the ch-54 is the fuselage, I would say they should be considered variants of the same type of helicopter.TeeTylerToe (talk) 19:53, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
- The conversation on the S-76 talk page has ended and it is not going to continue here. There was a solid consensus to not include your unsourced claims, so it is time to drop it. - Ahunt (talk) 23:46, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
- TeeTylerToe, WP:CONSENSUS went against you. You need to accept that, just like the rest of us have to accept some of our edits being rejected by consensus. (BTW, did you know that Reddit allows you to create your own subpage and be absolute king of it? It's a good deal for someone who has something to say but cannot get Wikipedia to accept it) You really need to drop the stick and back slowly away from the horse carcass now. --Guy Macon (talk) 11:04, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Sikorsky S-76 shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that 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. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. - Ahunt (talk) 19:13, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
Please do not attack other editors, as you did at User talk:Guy Macon. ( Diff ) Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. --Guy Macon (talk) 19:16, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
- Please stop trying to ram your POV idea that the S-76 and the S-70 have the same transmission into the Sikorsky S-76 article using refs that do not support your text added. I have once again removed text you added that the refs you provided do not support. Your edit war to include your unsupported ideas have turned into mere vandalism and will be treated as such in the future. You have not convinced anyone at in the WikiProject discussion, on the article page or at dispute resolution. You have now resorted to insults, personal attacks and edit warring. It really is time to move along or, better yet, take up a new hobby. - Ahunt (talk) 10:27, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Sikorsky S-76. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Ahunt (talk) 11:57, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Nick-D (talk) 08:35, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
- Edit warring at the dispute resolution noticeboard is about as bad as it gets. When this block expires, you really should move on and work on a different topic (please see WP:STICK). If you continue edit warring and disruptive editing in relation to the S-76 helicopter you will be blocked for an indefinite period. Nick-D (talk) 08:35, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Request reason:
Could you elaborate a little on your scolding of me for trying to restore the S-76 discussion to the dispute resolution page that Guy Macon unilaterally closed and deleted? Coincidentally, I was about to report Guy Macon for edit warring on that very page. How exactly do you propose there be any rational discussion of the dispute if Guy Macon unilaterally closes the discussion on the dispute page while it was still new and before it had made it to the top of the list of new disputes to discuss? Also I refer you to wikipedia policy Administrator guidance on edit warring. "Where multiple editors edit war or breach 3RR, administrators should consider all sides, since perceived unfairness can fuel issues." You seem to be discounting any culpability by Guy Macon. Could you explain how he can be guiltless?
How do punitive administrative gag orders on one side of an argument "deter the continuation of present, disruptive behavior" or "encourage a more productive, congenial editing style within community norms."? What it does is encourage editors like Guy Macon to game the system using block requests as blunt cudgels in petty fights that now rest on their argument that there can be no mention of similarity between two transmissions because they may share the same design they believe they could have two different part numbers, even though they can't even reference that statement.
Rather than "encourage[ing] a more productive, congenial editing style within community norms." Guy Macon now has you issuing gag orders to prevent any dispute resolution process from occurring, destroying the possibility of productive or congenial editing. Throughout the whole fight Guy Macon and editors fighting on his side have consistently used tactics such as threats and bullying in an effort to forward their biased interpretation insead of debating the merits of the different versions of the article.
Guy Macon is using this gag order just like he used the undo button on the dispute resolution noticeboard to quash the dispute resolution process. "But Brutus is an honorable man."TeeTylerToe (talk) 08:44, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Upon reviewing the history of the article in question, I don't see any signs of Guy Macon edit-warring against you. I'd rather characterize it as you vs. everyone else, which demonstrates once more that consensus is against you. You should understand one thing: edit-warring is never a way to "win" a dispute, but a rather short way to "lose" it. Max Semenik (talk) 11:09, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

TeeTylerToe (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Max Semenick's first argument is contrary to the definition of edit warring. "An edit war occurs when editors who disagree about the content of a page repeatedly override each other's contributions, rather than trying to resolve the disagreement by discussion.". I have the revert logs to prove that they collectively engaged in edit warring. Plus if any more evidence was needed, it's this very case. Guy Macon unilaterally closed the discussion on the DRN, and then edit warred to keep deleting it from the page.
The wikipedia policy on consensus is not that it is subject to a popularity pole. It is that when there are contradictory valid arguments made that the article should be widened to include them.
The way to "win" a dispute, is to game the system to block whoever tries to bring a third party to officiate the dispute. It's to be disruptive, preventing open discussion by using a cabal of editors to quash any discussion.
Let me remind you that the reason I reverted Guy Macon's edit was that first he unilaterally closed the discussion while it was still new and before it made it to the top of the new queue, and because after I restored the discussion, Guy Macon repeatedly deleted the whole section again.
Again I ask how is this dispute supposed to be resolved? And it's become such a simple dispute. They are for the wording "technology concepts", which, imo is a weasel worded way of making it seem that the S-76 is more different than it is, and it's unsupported by the reference. According to the reference, the S-70 and the S-76 share those features, not those "technology concepts". A specific airfoil design is not a "technology concept", it's a specific design.TeeTylerToe (talk) 11:43, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Entire request reason ignored; you're blocked for edit warring, and you unambiguously were edit warring. And what a foolish place to do it, too. --jpgordon::==( o ) 04:31, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Request reason:
One serious flaw of wikipedia is dispute resolution. It's easy for two sides to each take absolutist opinions. Someone edit wars when they resort to edit competitions, and not discussion. The discussion between the two sides had become absolutist. On the 21st I submitted the dispute to the DRN, On the 28th, while the discussion was still new and before it made the top of the queue on DRN Guy Macon, edit warring without discussion, torpedoed this chance to bring the discussion to neutral parties. By that point the only fruit it had born was that fellow edit warrior Dave brought up the incorrect argument that because it had two references that it might be synthesis.
Guy Macon senselessly edit warred to scuttle the input into the discussion of neutral third parties that is Wikipedia's only mechanism to resolve disputes.
Once again let me remind Admins the wikipedia policy Admin guidance on edit warring "Where multiple editors edit war or breach 3RR, administrators should consider all sides, since perceived unfairness can fuel issues."
Also, let me remind you about the blocking policy. Blocks are used to prevent disruption. For instance disruption of the dispute resolution process on DRN. For instance when Guy Macon unilaterally edit wars to delete a pending discussion from the DRN.
Blocks are to prevent disruptive editing. If you'll notice in the edit war that's been going on for over a week, at no point has any Admin's action prevented me from continuing an edit war in progress. It has only ever served as something for the other side to crow over, and if there's an olympic medal for crowing, they've won the mens and women's division. It was Guy Macon's actions that triggered this, and the only edit I was going to make was to report Guy Macon's actions on the DRN for edit warring.
Now that you've gagged me for a week... what now? There ARE back channel negotiations on this very page. It looks like the other side is now discussing replacing "technology concepts" with "design technologies". Neither supported by references, and both unencyclopedic weasel words.
So in a week what will happen? Will I have to resubmit the discussion on DRN that Guy Macon edit warred to delete? You are the guru Admins. How does the wikipedia dispute resolution process work? Is article content decided by meatpacking counter to wiki policy? When disputes bring two valid arguments is there a cagematch like the one that's going on now to determine which is used in the article against wiki policy or is the article widened to accept both views? Will wikipedia Admins allow this dispute to be discussed on DRN or will they allow editors like Guy Macon to edit war to remove any discussion of the dispute on DRN?
What happens in a week? How is this resolved?
Why could this not be discussed on DRN?
Teach me! How was Guy Macon's suppression of the discussion on DRN fighting for dispute resolution through discussion? And how was my fighting for discussion not furthering wikipedia's policy of dispute resolution through discussion. And, reiterating what I've already said, When I was blocked I had stopped warring on DRN and was writing to report Guy Macon for edit warring.
Encourage me to be more productive editors. How can I dispute productively when Guy Macon edit wars against the discussion itself?
Guy Macon isn't even neutral to discussion which would ding him for edit warring he actively attacks discussion on DRN.TeeTylerToe (talk) 06:24, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
Decline reason:
NOTTHEM. And I have to agree with the admins above me that you picked a terrible place to edit war. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 02:32, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

- How does it "deter the continuation of present, disruptive behavior" or "encourage a more productive, congenial editing style within community norms."? And how does it recognize, as policy Administrator guidance dictates, that there isn't just one side? That it's harmful to treat edit wars as one sided actions? And how does it further the process of dispute resolution?
- How does the block in any way better the community, by putting a gag order on the dispute resolution process? Isn't that the very disruption blocks are meant to prevent, not cause?TeeTylerToe (talk) 09:38, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
- WP:DRN is not a forum for your WP:SOAPBOXING. Two dispute resolution volunteers have independently determined that the case at WP:DRN should be closed on the basis of you having no case, the consensus being against you, and you being a disruptive editor. That's what we do. We close cases when it becomes clear that the problem is one disruptive editor rather than the problem being a content dispute. After your block expires, you are free to try to make your case for DRN volunteer misbehavior at the DRN talk page, but be aware that your recent conduct pretty much confirms our determination that the the problem is one disruptive editor -- you. The consensus is clearly against you. You aren't going to get your way, because you are wrong about those helicopters. Learn to deal with it. --Guy Macon (talk) 10:19, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
- Who are those two volunteers, and where did they make your argument for you? I remember seeing Dave, who has participated in the warring like you Guy Macon, argued that the material that we have since found consensus on was synthesis because there were two references. There were two references because editors warring with you argued that one reference they disagree with doesn't really "count" against the "TRUTH". This was disproved, and there is now consensus on that material. Steven Zhang made the same incorrect argument. While he did not argue your position the way you portray, he did seem to take the position that if dispute resolution does take place on wikipedia, it probably shouldn't be on the wikipedia dispute resolution noticeboard. Could you provide any shred of support to your contention that two neutral parties are arguing your own argument for you?TeeTylerToe (talk) 10:33, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
- Not interested in arguing with you. You are blocked. Appeal the block if you think it is improper (Try reading our guide to appealing blocks this time). After your block expires, report me and Steven Zhang if you believe that you have evidence of either of us misbehaving. I am not going to waste any more time on you.
- User:TeeTylerToe: You keep asking why no one else is getting blocked for edit warring but you. Edit warring is specifically reverting text on the same page more three times in 24 hrs and if you check the pages in question you will see that the only person who crossed that line was you. The rest of us are careful not to edit war because it is counter-productive and doesn't help build the encyclopedia. I think even you can now see that as a tactic to get your own way, it doesn't work. Since you are now blocked for a week you will have that time to think about what you want to do when you come back. It is pretty straightforward as explained above by the admin who blocked you, User:Nick-D. If you start participating civilly then you can resume editing, but if you get back to edit warring to try to push your own point of view against consensus and against the refs you keep providing then your days editing Wikipedia will be at an end. Frankly, just as some people are just not cut out for some vocations, or even hobbies, perhaps it is time to find yourself a new hobby, perhaps you can start a blog where you can freely expound your own ideas on helicopter design. - Ahunt (talk) 11:17, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
- It got you what you wanted. And you as a group edit warred. "An edit war occurs when editors who disagree about the content of a page repeatedly override each other's contributions, rather than trying to resolve the disagreement by discussion." Guy macon torpedoed the discussion in the dispute resolution noticeboard.TeeTylerToe (talk) 11:34, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
- Um, a group of editors making similar edits is not an edit war, it is called a consensus. As noted the discussion at dispute resolution was over, as there was a clear consensus there. - Ahunt (talk) 11:38, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
- They weren't "similar edits". They were blind reverts. The very definition of edit warring.TeeTylerToe (talk) 11:46, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

- TeeTylerToe didn't break the three revert rule. The block was imposed for sustained and increasingly serious edit warring (please note that this relevant policy states that "Editors who engage in edit warring are liable to be blocked from editing to prevent further disruption. While any edit warring may lead to sanctions", which was the grounds for this block). Nick-D (talk) 11:26, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for the clarification there, I thought he had: [1], [2], [3], [4]. But, regardless, I think the rest of my note above is still valid that User:TeeTylerToe really needs to give some careful thought as to what he wants to do on his return. - Ahunt (talk) 11:38, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
- If I want to win it's clear that I need to edit war then game the system to use Admins to muzzle my opponents. Of course I'd have to break wikipedia rules and meatpack the vote bringing several like minded editors to try to muscle the result, and everyone would have to ignore that article content isn't decided by a vote.TeeTylerToe (talk) 11:45, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

- And how did what happened when Guy Macon unilaterally closed the DRN discussion of the S-76 while it was still new before it hit the top of the new queue, and then edit war to keep it deleted from the page show that it was that me not trying to discuss it, and instead demonstrate that I edit disruptively, like, for instance edit warring on DRN instead of trying to discuss it, for instance in a DRN discussion that Guy Macon edit warred to delete? How was that me editing the article to fit my view against the consensus? You might have notice I've been discussing it in several places, and no. I didn't make up facts about the S-76, and when I offered to show you the references about the specifics I listed about the S-76 transmission I wasn't going to refer you to this guy my friend met on the street asking for change. I was going to show you references. Not that anything to that point seemed to matter to you, in that you made it very clear in more than one place that I could make no argument to change your perspective.TeeTylerToe (talk) 13:42, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
- Again, if you have references, show them. Here. I'll look at them. If you don't show them, I can't look at them, and there is nothing else to discuss. I'll continue to try to tighten the current wording on the S-76 page to fit the references we currently have, but that's all I can do without more information from reliable sources. - BilCat (talk) 13:54, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
- "The UH-60 main transmission has five separate, interchangeable modules (fig. 4). They are the main module, two engine input modules and two accessory modules." http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=ADA149180 I don't remember if I used sikorskyarchives or some other reference for the statement that prior sikorsky designs used two planetary stages. The rest is on the sikorsky archives page but I've used other references to confirm the information on the sikorsky archives page when references conflicted with the cabal's "truth".
- As to your problem of how to present the information, I'll waste my time and suggest something nobody will accept. Present the truth. Sikorsky designed the S-76 as a civilian S-70. They took off the armor and downsized it. It was publicly announced just 4 months after the first test flight of the S-70. They downsized the helicopter for civilian applications and had a new engine designed for it. The transmission is a downsized version of the S-70 transmission. The rotors are too.TeeTylerToe (talk) 14:30, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
*But the result was still a different aircraft. That's where this "civil S-70" stuff is throwing everyone off. No reference I've seen actually calls the S-76 a "civil S-70", becasue it isn't. "Downsized" still results in something different, even if it's of the same design. The current wording of the text does convey that idea, though it needs to be clarified a bit. However, the sources that are being discussed on the S-76 talk page now seem to show that the S-76 transmission is of a different design than that of the S-70. So something is still getting mixed up here, as both claims can't be right. - BilCat (talk) 15:05, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
- The "weasel wording" I object to is not that they don't state that the transmissions of the two helicopters are the same design, the "weasel wording" are grandiose terms unsupported by references used to disguise any clear relationship between, as the references say, shared features and designs between the two helicopters. For instance, instead of saying "The rotors of the S-76 are shorter versions of the rotors designed for the S-70", because they share the same composition and airfoil, they say "the rotors of the S-76 share technology concepts of the rotors of the S-70". That is what I think is weasel wording. It's supposed to be an encyclopedia.
- As for the two transmissions, both the S-76 have bull gear stages of their transmissions, and they both have planetary stages of their transmissions. Quoting the NASA pdf, "A wide variety of reduction ratios is available with two planetaries and the designer has the choice of reduction ratios for each stage to attain a specific overall ratio". As per the sikorsky archives, the S-70 pioneered a simpler, single planetary transmission shared with the S-76. A further corroborating reference is the cryogenics pdf. Even their own references mention the S-76 having a planetary transmission. They have no references supporting their claims, while 4 support the current version that correctly indicates that the S-70 and S-76 share a transmission with both planetary and bull gear stages.TeeTylerToe (talk) 16:00, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
- But do those components make them the same transmission? Is it the same basic design, but the S-76's is "downsized" (smaller)? Are some components in the transmission the same, and some not? Whatever the answer, it's still too much detail for an encylopedia.
- In Flight International 6 May 1978, p. 1378, it states, "The S-76 rotor and drive system draws heavily on Black Hawk technology." That's a relaible source. And that's really all our text needs to say. If you have a specific published reliable source that gives a better description of the relationship between the transmissions of S-70 and the S-76, then present it. However, taking descriptions of the S-70 transmisison, and comparing it to descriptions of the S-76 transmission, even from reliable sources, is synthesis, and not something we can use in the article itself. - BilCat (talk) 16:18, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
"In order to achieve the design goals, the S-76 employed technologies developed for the UH-60 BLACK HAWK helicopter. Among the features are: titanium and composite main rotor blades, a bearingless composite tail rotor, bifilar vibration absorbers, and a simplified main rotor transmission." "The Main Gearbox has as its final reduction a bull gear with two spur gear inputs. This is considerably simpler than the planetary gear system used in previous Sikorsky helicopter models Each engine has a separate power train all the way up to the bull gear through a single spur and a single bevel mesh."(from the sikorsky archives) A feature shared by the S-70 and the S-76 is a simplified transmission. It's corroborated by 4 sources. It seems fairly straightforward to me, and I don't see how it could be called synthesis.TeeTylerToe (talk) 16:36, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
- First, those are descriptions of features, not shared components. The FI article states the main rotor blades use the same contruction techniques, and materials, but that "The twist of the S-76 main rotor blades is, by Black Hawk standards, a modest 10°", meaning that even the blades aren't exactly the same. Second, the Sikorky archive states "A feature shared by the S-70 and the S-76 is a simplified transmission." Again, the word "feature" is used, and it does not state the transmissions have the same exact parts, or even the same exact design - just that they both feature a simplified transmision compared to previous Sikorsky designs. So yes, you are drawign conclusions from the sources that they don't make, and that is synthesis. - BilCat (talk) 16:50, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
- That would be an issue if I were trying to stretch "they share the feature" into "they share the exact model". The twist is not a difference in the blade, it is the difference in the angle which the blade is held. I don't see how you claim synthesis on the transmission. I suppose there are two ways to read "a shared feature is a simplified transmission." I suppose to solve the ambiguity you could say "while their transmissions are not identical, they share a simplified design".TeeTylerToe (talk) 17:04, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
- Point taken on the rotors. Even "while their transmissions are not identical, they share a simplified design" is probably reading in too much into it. Without something more explicit on the respective transmission designs, it's better to leave that out. A paraphase of "The S-76 rotor and drive system draws heavily on Black Hawk technology" is still accurate and sufficient for an erncyclopedia. I thinks that's enough here for now, as I have real life needs to attend to. I'll check back here in a week to see how things stand. - BilCat (talk) 17:22, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
- Hi TTT, I'm hoping that you don't see this as anything other than an attempt to understand your point of view, because the written word is a very poor substitute for an actual conversation. I would like to know why you believe that the S-76 is a civil version of the S-70. I believe that it isn't; because it's smaller in all dimensions, lighter and doesn't look remotely the same except to the degree that one would expect any two twin-engine helicopters to have some similarities - in other words, to me an S-76 and S-70 are no more alike than an S-76 and an Agusta A109.
- Point taken on the rotors. Even "while their transmissions are not identical, they share a simplified design" is probably reading in too much into it.

- I can see why you would think that "In order to achieve the design goals, the S-76 employed technologies developed for the UH-60 BLACK HAWK helicopter. Among the features are: titanium and composite main rotor blades, a bearingless composite tail rotor, bifilar vibration absorbers, and a simplified main rotor transmission" means that they are the same, but the second sentence doesn't explicitly state that the features are shared by both types, it doesn't say "among the features shared by the UH-60 and S-76 are..." although as I said, I can see how it would be easy to mentally insert those words so to speak. With respect to the sentences "the Main Gearbox has as its final reduction a bull gear with two spur gear inputs. This is considerably simpler than the planetary gear system used in previous Sikorsky helicopter models Each engine has a separate power train all the way up to the bull gear through a single spur and a single bevel mesh", nobody is disputing that these are true statements for the S-76 (no-one is disputing that the rotors are related either). However, and I have actually spent several hours trying, I cannot see where you have succeeded in demonstrating that the description could equally be applied to the S-70 transmission. I assume you have read the S-76 talk page recently, where I discuss the UH-60 training notes you put forward as a ref? I really would have liked to find reference to a bull gear final reduction - if nothing else in order to put this controversy to bed and move on - but I cannot. Which page did you see it on? I can't find any reference to the UH-60 having a bull gear in the NASA document either, could you provide a page number for that? Especially as both documents demonstrate that the UH-60 has a sun gear with a set of five planetary gears as final reduction. Is this all down to a difference in terminology, akin to my "capsicum" being the same as another person's "bell pepper" or my "thongs" being "flip-flops" under another name? Then there is the second sentence: "this is considerably simpler than the planetary gear system used in previous Sikorsky helicopter models". The S-70 is a "previous model", which leads me back to posing the question of why you think that one is the civil version of the other.
- Two people can argue about whether one thing fits into category A, or category B. Is the strabucks "venti" large? Medium? Is george W Bush a republican or not? People disagree. I haven't cared whether you call the S-76 a variant or a derivative for weeks. There is no right answer, there is no wrong answer. To me what you're saying is that a Volkswagon minibus should be more closely related to a toyota HiAce than a beetle, or that an AH-1 cobra helicopter is more closely related to a Ka-50 than a huey.
- The S-76A transmission is about as closely related to the S-76D transmission as it is to the S-70 transmission. There are diagrams of the S-70 transmission on both the uh60 student handout and the nasa pdf that show exactly how the description of the S-76 applies to the S-70. The engine inputs are separate until the spur gears of the two inputs mesh with a central bull gear as shown in both diagrams. That reduction is the final reduction of the two input paths. It goes on to say that the synchronization mechanism of helicopter transmissions prior to the S-70/S-76 transmissions were more complicated, not using this simplified bull gear setup. Neither input path has a planetary transmission. "The Main Gearbox has as its final reduction a bull gear with two spur gear inputs."TeeTylerToe (talk) 14:29, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
- Yes.TeeTylerToe (talk) 07:33, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
OK, so referring to that diagram, I can see the two input modules shown driving a large circular gear in the main module; is that what you are describing as the bull gear? YSSYguy (talk) 08:55, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Request reason:
In retrospect, any edit warring on DRN is obviously terrible, and nobody should revert other editors edits without discussion, particularly on DRN. It's obvious that Admins must act to protect the dispute resolution process. Admins have pointed out that it was not the isolated incident that caused the week long block, but the reason for the block is also the larger edit conflict at the sikorsky s-76 page. I have been participating in the discussion there from the start and I will continue to do so. I realize now that I should have used wikipedia's dispute resolution process in both cases. I should have used wikipedia's dispute resolution process in the case of S-76, submitting it to the dispute resolution noticeboard, and then when discussion failed to prevent the removal of that discussion from the DRN, while I did discuss it with Steven Zhan I should have discussed it with the other editor, starting a discussion in the talk page, and if that failed, which, judging by the hostility of the edit summarys, I should have submitted it to the dispute resolution noticeboard. I know everyone involved treats the dispute resolution process as sacrosanct, other users, and to a much greater extent the Admins, who understand how vital it is to wikipedia to foster discussion in brokering the solutions to disputes, and how vital it is to follow wikipedia policy admin guidance on not treating edit wars as being onesided. Seeing the other side particularly to someone trying to restore a discussion to the DRN that someone deleted repeatedly without discussion.
I obviously didn't discuss the matter enough. I should have made every effort possible to bring the other participants to a discussion. And with respect to the S-76 discussion that again was the problem. I should have somehow brought the deadlocked discussion to some kind of dispute resolution mechanism.
I realize that I shouldn't have reverted during disputes and I should have discussed it, and I will practice the zero revert rule for the near future in cases where I have made an edit, and the one revert rule when other people have made an edit. I will discuss the disputes in the talk page first, then I will bring it to the attention of DRN. If there someone starts a dispute on DRN, I will engage in them on their talk page, then I will discuss it on the talk page, and then I will report it to DRN, or I will report them for edit warring. It is truely inexcusable for anyone to edit war on DRN, and obviously Admins will swiftly deal with anyone that does.
I need to trust the wikipedia system more. I need to trust the dispute resolution process more. I need to trust DRN more, and I need to trust the de facto DRN admin more. I need to trust wikipedia Admins more. They block to prevent disruptive editing, like edit warring to sabotage discussion on DRN. They use the block as a tool to prevent editors from reverting other editors work without discussion even when the editors are acting as a group. I need to trust that wikipedia admins will see that when like minded editors act as a group to revert the edits of others without discussion that that is disruptive edit warring.
And now I do trust the wikipedia system. I trust the dispute resolution process. I trust the DRN. The admins will obviously protect the dispute resolution process neutrally. I trust the Admins. And I trust other editors to act in good faith, and to not use numbers to game the system. I trust that everyone on wikipedia understands that truth is not the product of a vote, That the consensus is not voted on. And I do.
After I am unblocked, as I said I will operate by the 0/1 revert rule. I will discuss disputes rather than reverting other editors work. I will bring the disputes to the DRN so they can be discussed there. If that fails I will try arbitration, or RFC, or other mechanisms for dispute resolution provided by wikipedia.TeeTylerToe (talk) 07:27, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

- Wikipedians can issue warnings if they see others violating our policies. They don't have to be admins for that. Max Semenik (talk) 06:00, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
TeeTylerToe,[5], after TWO dispute resolution volunteers (Steven Zhang (who also happens to be a a fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation) and me, Guy Macon) determined that the DRN case should be closed (which is part of our job), you edit warred to keep the DRN case from closing.[6][7][8] and were blocked for doing that. Somehow in your fantasy world keeping the DRN case open would somehow magically allow you to have your way despite an overwhelming (as in "everybody but you") consensus against you. As has been explained to you multiple times, closing DRN cases is one of the jobs DRN volunteers do, and this closure was legitimate. See WP:SNOW.
You then called our legitimate efforts to revert your blatant vandalism of DRN "edit warring" and have repeated the accusation TEN TIMES in the last 32 hours.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] The administrator who denied your appeal told you "Upon reviewing the history of the article in question, I don't see any signs of Guy Macon edit-warring against you. I'd rather characterize it as you vs. everyone else, which demonstrates once more that consensus is against you."[19] yet still you keep repeating the accusation over and over. I did not ask anyone to block you last time, but if you accuse me of edit warring ONE MORE TIME I am going to request that your block be increased to two weeks and that it include blocking you from editing your talk page. Edit warring at WP:DRN was foolish, but harassing a DRN volunteer for doing his job is really foolish. Stop it now. --Guy Macon (talk) 08:30, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
- So basically what you're saying that you, as a drn volunteer were conflict of interested out of acting in any role other than partisan in the s-76 drn conversation. On top of that it doesn't even occur to you that you have a conflict of interest when you edit war to torpedo the dispute resolution process on the dispute resolution noticeboard.
- Somehow in my fantasy world when a deadlock occurs in the talk page discussion a dispute has arisen. In the deepest throughs of my lunacy I reported that dispute to the DRN thinking, in the depths of my madness, that the dispute resolution noticeboard has some loose, tangential connection to the dispute resolution process. No sane person could make that mistake obviously.
- Look up a few paragraphs at the poster Dave posted. Wikipedia is not a democracy. Look on the consensus page. Consensus is not determined by a vote. Look at wikipedia policy. Truth is not determined by a show of hands. Look at the edit warring page. Your meatpacking edit warring is considered edit warring. You as a group have been edit warring against me, as if that wasn't more obvious than the color of the sky, or the wetness or rain.
- Guy Macon, you were edit warring. You were edit warring in the S-76 discussion, and you were doing the most heinous edit warring I've ever seen on DRN acting in your own self-interest abusing your position of DRN volunteer.TeeTylerToe (talk) 09:06, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
Block extended to indefinite
I've just extended the duration of your block to indefinite for continuing to make serious personal attacks. If this is how you behave while blocked, I have no confidence at all that you'll behave in an acceptable fashion when the block expires. You may request that this block be reviewed using the same procedure as before, but your ability to edit this talk page will be revoked if you make any further personal attacks. Nick-D (talk) 09:51, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
- As noted before per wikipedia policy on NPA: "Accusations about personal behavior that lack evidence.". The definition of edit warring per wikipedia policy is "editors who disagree about the content of a page repeatedly override each other's contributions, rather than trying to resolve the disagreement by discussion." Also you cannot game the system with meatpacking as that to meets the wikipedia definition of edit warring. "For the purposes of dispute resolution, the Arbitration Committee issued a decision in 2005 stating "whether a party is one user with sockpuppets or several users with similar editing habits they may be treated as one user with sockpuppets."[4]"
- Guy Macon's actions alone constitute edit warring in both the S-76 page and the DRN page where he abused his volunteer status and edit warred. He repeatedly reverted other editors edits, he didn't participate in the discussion on the DRN talk page, and his edit summaries were hostile, accusing me of "vandalism". Wikipedia has clear and strong policies on accusing other editors of vandalism. And the group actions of the people with similar editing habits including the various editors collectively edit warring on the S-76 page are guilty of edit warring as per wikipedia policy.TeeTylerToe (talk) 10:09, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
- As you've continued to attack Guy, I've just removed your ability to edit this talk page. As noted by other editors above, he was doing his job per community norms, and edit warring with volunteers on the dispute resolution noticeboard who are performing housekeeping tasks is a really bad idea. I note that you have an unblock request outstanding, and if that is rejected (as I'm certain that it will be), you may also request to be unblocked via Wikipedia:Unblock Ticket Request System, but any such request must address the reason for the block. Nick-D (talk) 10:13, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

- While that commitment in regards to communicating with other editors looks good, I've got two questions:
- What is it that you wish to work on?
- Are you willing to commit to not working on the Sikorsky S-76 article? Your behaviour in relation to this article was highly unhelpful. Nick-D (talk) 11:10, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
The block for that ended August 4th. Why is it relevant?TeeTylerToe (talk) 21:38, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
"I have to say I see a very tendentious approach to editing there, and I'm not entirely convinced that there's a solid commitment to respecting consensus and to following a much more collegial approach. It's good to see an agreement to stop the personal attacks, and good to see an agreement to follow procedures better in the previous unblock request - but it does concern me that in each case it took so long and so much hammering by others to get that far. And edit-warring so fiercely at DRN, of all places, showed staggeringly bad judgment - can we be confident that a lack of such judgment can and has been improved? OK, that's my fears, but I think I could cautiously support an unblock with a 1RR restriction, and an understanding that any repeat of the same behavior will lead straight back to a fresh block." Boing! said Zebedee
The tendentious editing page describes tendentious editing as biased or a non NPOV. A reliable source stated that the S-76 shares the simplified transmission of the S-70. I argued that as this was supported by consensus and there is no source that I know of, or that has since been brought to light that contradicts this. How was that not neutral?
As for the consensus, see above. There seem to be many misapprehensions about wikipedia policy on consensus. It's not a show of hands the way many people believe. Many people involved in this dispute believed that there was one right side, and one wrong side, and that was probably the driving force behind the unbelievable OR that was used to try to justify the removal of properly referenced edits. That is not what consensus on wikipedia is.
Let's say there were properly referenced dissent to the statement that the S-76 shares the simplified transmission of the S-70. A proper consensus would be to present both ideas, and provide the appropriate references for each.
As for the collegial approach, I was routinely threatened, and at one point I was told that if I wanted to have an opinion I should create a subreddit on reddit where I could be the mod and ban anyone I wanted indefinitely that disagreed with me. I admit I responded to that editor in kind and told them they were condescending. Other than that I was fairly collegial, and I would ask that you provide references to this behavior you call non-collegial.
The entire unblock system is rather backwards. It first requires a mea culpa before you have a chance to plead your innocence. While that basically gives admins carte blanch, it puts people who have been blocked at an obvious disadvantage.
"it took so long and so much hammering by others". I offered the restrictions on my behavior on july 30. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that.
Also could you tell me exactly how I was "fierce" in my edits to the DRN? I've been told that Guy Macon has acknowledged that he was involved in the dispute (has anyone told Nick-D?). He unilaterally closed the dispute on the DRN that he was involved in before it had been opened or been commented on by any neutral third party. I restored the dispute to the DRN, which was then reverted by Steven Zhang. I discussed it collegially with Steven Zhang, and Steven Zhang made noises about how an RFC might work, and that there are other avenues of dispute resolution then quickly closed the discussion without any definitive response. Seeing no harm in a new dispute being listed on the DRN I again restored it when Guy Macon started his reverts without any discussion or participation.
What did I do that was fierce?
What did I do that was so unique in it's poor judgement? Did I revert repeatedly without discussion?TeeTylerToe (talk) 22:09, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'm sorry, I made a typo in the third sentence. I put "argued that as this was supported by consensus and there is no source that I know of, or that has since been brought to light that contradicts this." I meant supported by references, not consensus. Sorry.TeeTylerToe (talk) 22:39, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
- And you responded. What personal attacks did I make against Guy Macon and where? The topic was discussed at great length over weeks. Can you point out any point where the question was that I couldn't source the statement that the S-76 shares the simplified transmission of the S-70? I remember people saying that the 20,000 RPM turbines were reduced to 200RPM in a single transmission stage, that people brought up statements that the S-76 employs a planetary transmission, which didn't contradict the original statement, and several other opinions were aired against the referenced statement, but where was the question raised that I did not support my statement? It was really quite an involved, long, drawn out dispute, so I'm sure it played a massive massive role but I can't find it looking back now.
What makes you think I would edit disruptively?
Again, please someone post this in the discussion.TeeTylerToe (talk) 22:52, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
Responding to dangerouspanda, I understand that editors can't insult one another, and that I shouldn't have reverted on the DRN. I don't see what citing GAB has to do with anything. What did I say that makes you think that I would repeat the things that I was blocked for?TeeTylerToe (talk) 23:27, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
Thinking about it more, and all the possible arguments you could be making but didn't because I suppose you didn't feel the need to, it occurred to me that you could think that I really was editing tendentiously, that's why I was blocked for edit warring for a week in july, and that that's why... well, that's one of the arguments you decided not to make. I suppose you didn't make the argument that I was subject to a one week block in july because I reverted edits restoring a new dispute to the drn about an article where you didn't make the argument that I could be seen to have been repeating the same argument without convincing people.
There are times when no argument you can make will convince other people. Did I consider that my argument could be flawed? Yes. Did I blindly refute other parties that contradicted my edits? No. At each point when another editor brought OR to the table trying to debunk the claim made by the reference I didn't ignore their dissent. That's why I know that modern technology does not have a practical single stage transmission that reduces a 3,000shp 20,000 RPM input to a 200RPM output, and why I know that early sikorsky transmissions had two planetary stages. The simpler transmission of the S-70 probably reduced the number of planetary stages from 2 to 1. I made an honest effort to make the best argument that I could, but neither side would compromise which is why I was pursuing the dispute resolution process.
Is the threat you feel but didn't voice that I could pursue dispute resolution through probably RFC as DRN seems to have given up?TeeTylerToe (talk) 01:36, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
Help Me
First, could someone create a RFC for Sikorsky S-76? "design technology" seems non-encyclopedia weasel wording, and I don't think the article accurately reflects the content of the sikorsky archives reference. There. Problem solved.
I'm restricted to talk page access but I would like this to be posted in the thread where my block is being discussed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AN#TeeTylerToe_unblock_request
The 1 week block that expired august 4th was not for disruptive editing on the s-76 page. It was for restoring a dispute on the DRN. Many of the people opposing my unblock request seem to be doing it both because I feel that there are still problems with the S-76 article.
First, last I checked the article about a month ago, I had two problems with it. One, is that the use of the term "engineering technologies" is unencyclopedic weasel wording. Second, it doesn't reflect the content of the references referenced in the article.
Now. It's my understanding that IF someone had a problem with my editing on that article it would be that I was either editing the article in a disruptive way, or that I was proceeding in the dispute resolution process in a disruptive way.
My intention is to constructively pursue the dispute resolution process. What problem is there with that? On July 30 I volunteered reasonable restrictions that would prevent my past errors.
What concerns do people have about me pursuing the dispute resolution process on the S-76 article? Are you concerned that I would make personal attacks? Are you concerned that I would edit war? Are you concerned that I would be otherwise disruptive? What is the concern?
What I don't understand is that people seem to have a problem that my opinion about the fact hasn't changed because so far nobody has made a compelling argument to bring that fact into question, but people seem to be bothered that I still hold that opinion. I suppose the concern is that I still intend to advocate that opinion on wikipedia, but really, what problem do you have with me saying that I would submit the article for RFC? How is that disruptive?TeeTylerToe (talk) 17:21, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
- I think what's happening here is that people are taking this very hostile environment where nobody is acting in a way that would be conducive to regular editing. "You're a bad editor who's non-collegial, fierce, etc". Said in a normal context that would be terrible. "He's attacking this editor". "His behavior's inappropriate, he doesn't understand the issue", etc.
- Basically it's a terribly hostile environment, and people are taking my defensive responses and thinking "If he edits like this normally it would be terrible.". But in this environment everyone's terrible. So take my behavior with the same grain of salt you're taking your own behavior and the behavior of your colleagues. Which is very hostile and unproductive.
Further request to post comments to WP:AN thread
I'm limited to talk page access and I'd like this posted in the administrators noticeboard discussion on my unblock request.
Could someone explain to me why people think that when I say that I believe there is still an issue with the s-76 article and there should be an RFC about the weasel wording of "design technologies", and whether it accurately portrays the content of the sikorsky archives reference. Several people seem to think that this embodies "controversial tendencies", "battleground mentality".
It seems like these people are conflating holding a rhetorical position with, to quote WP:BATTLE, a "personal battle", "holding a grudge", "insult[s]" "hatred", etc.
Could someone tell me how it's at all possible to conflate the one with the other?
I believe that the S-76 inherited the simplified transmission of the S-70. People have made arguments that this is wrong. I have specific reasons why none of the arguments so far presented are valid, and as proof, most, or perhaps all of them have been retracted. I'm not even specifically advocating that the article must include what I believe is correct. My actions before the ban, and my stated intentions are to continue the dispute resolution process.
So I ask, what is the eminent threat? What is the damage you fear I will do? What behavior is this indefinite block preventing?
"Indefinite blocks are usually applied when there is significant disruption or threats of disruption, or major breaches of policy."WP:INDEF
How does opening an RFC qualify as a "significant disruption or threats of disruption or major breaches of policy"?
Why are people advocating cooldown? WP:CDB?
Again, what is the eminent threat?
Also, Nick-D accused me of making a personal attack three days ago and still hasn't shown what personal attack I made or where. What is this new personal attack he accused me of? As there seems to be no burden of proof here, several other accusations have been made of me that I have questioned. Is there any substance to those accusations?
Also, people keep claiming that I have not admitted what have done, apologized, and have not made any claim that I would not repeat those actions. These three assertions are false.
Again I ask, why are people recommending I be blocked?
Finally, where is it stated that blocked users can't request RFCs?TeeTylerToe (talk) 08:06, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

- Hello, I'm concerned that your reason for wanting to be unblocked is to continue to dispute for which the block was imposed. There seemed to be general agreement at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive240#TeeTylerToe unblock request that a starting point for the removal of this block would have to be an agreement to avoid the S-76 article entirely. This would include not participating in or starting discussions relating to the article on its talk page or anywhere else. Nick-D (talk) 06:41, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
- If you'll read the last sentence, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:TeeTylerToe&diff=530569925&oldid=515371302 "I will accept a topic ban on editing the S-76 page, pursuing dispute resolution on the topic of the S-76 and pursuing consensus on the topic of the S-76." I think that addresses your concerns.TeeTylerToe (talk) 06:53, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
Addressing the concerns stated by Prodego in the an/i thread, I brought the s-76 matter to the dispute resolution noticeboard where it stayed for three days while I waited for it to be discussed. At the end of three days it was still unopened in the new queue. Steven Zhang closed it making it clear that it was being closed as a matter of expediency, that he believed that the point I brought up in the dispute was synthesis (As my argument was a very close restatement of a single source I asked Steven Zhang to clarify this which he did not do), and that I could try other avenues such as RFC. Given this explicit invitation by an admin to pursue this further I have appealed my block while leaving the question of whether I should or could pursue the discussion of the s-76 matter further open. I have gotten mixed messages from more than one admin, and I have no problem dropping the matter entirely and, as in my block appeal, I will accept a topic ban or whatever else on this subject.TeeTylerToe (talk) 07:06, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
- I'd consider unblocking you with the caveat that there be a voluntary temporary topic ban on S-76, which includes things like RFC, etc. Ideally also, we'd have a mentor for you, but I can't dedicate that kind of time myself. With that caveat, I think that should resolve the question of whether your unblock would be to continue the S-76 dispute. ⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 08:32, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
- TTT, could you please also specify which topics you intend to work on if you were unblocked? Swatjester; I think that a permanent agreement to stay away from the S-76 article is necessary given the level of disruption which led to this block. Nick-D (talk) 11:27, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
- I mostly edit articles about computer related topics, but I've also been editing articles about watches and artillery, but I normally visit a wide range of topics and generally fix typos when I see them, and add whatever information I'm looking for if it's missing.TeeTylerToe (talk) 17:16, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
- Personally, I believe that staying away from the S-76 article, its talkpage, anything to do with it ... as far as possible would be best for at least 6 months. Even above, you're filling the page with "I believe that..." statements, which is wP:OR, so any form of DRN or RFC that includes that kind of continuous disruption will never be good for the project.

I support you
You have run into what I call the WikiWall, as in, a group of editors who are generally crap in everything they do on Wikipedia, supported by disgraceful administrators who are usually terrible at their jobs as well, just like the scum that blocked you and then wound you up so they could increase the block like the lowlife tossers they are.
Soon, they will use passive aggression, when they say they are "watching you", that means they are following you around, just waiting for another chance to attack you, wind you up and then block you again. Usually, the administrators will use sock IP accounts or throwaway accounts to goad you into such situations.
