This looks like a clear violation to me. It has pov pushing, ignoring warnings and a likeliness to continue. I think a 48 hour block is appropriate with escalation of duration if it continues. Chillum 19:53, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: Warning of his talk page

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [1]

Comments:
This article was created for an event that happened 6 months ago. Back then a consensus was reached about the same thing the user is complaining and the result was that it would remain as it was. So much time has passed and WWE Batman131 decides to come now and start acting stubborn by reverting all edits to how the page was. I even removed a word from it so the article looks similar to articles from recent events, but he still removed them. He says he know the rules, but he doesn't respect the consensus and - even if he wanted to open discussion again - he doesn't keep the article the way it was agreed to. He know accuses me of edit warring as well, while I gave him all the chances to realize what he was doing (via summary edit when I mentioned the consensus on the talk page) and via personal message at his talk page. He even dared me to report him. I believe he should get a warning for this situation and be reminded that he can't start doing things on his own, even when people remind him that and he still keeps doing it. I gave him all warnings as possible, but he remained stubborn like plenty of the IPs we deal with that vandalize those same articles. Thanks. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 20:00, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

Comments:

Greetings,

In an attempt to remove unsourced, or unreliably sourced, information I have come into some conflict with the anon user in question. While I am using the Type 093 article here, this is occurring on multiple articles (it may be easier to check both of our contribution logs to see this.) I admit that I am likely in violation of the 3RR rule myself at this point.

The anon user contacted me on my talk page, and I have attempted to impress upon the anon user the importance of reliable sources, and explain the validity of a certain type of referencing style using bibliographies. Unfortunately, the anon user continues to use whatever sources can be find (most, if not all, unreliable) to support the otherwise unsourced information on the pages, and refuses to acknowledge that the bibliography and references to it are valid. In the case of the Type 093 article, I attempted a rewrite using what reliable sources could be found, but this rewrite has been consistently reverted by the anon user. Other articles tend to be over small sections of the article.

My apologies if this is the improper place to bring up this issue, or if I have misidentifed the issue. - RovingPersonalityConstruct (talk, contribs) 01:30, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Hello, This guy RovingPersonalityConstruct repeated removed massive amounts of multiple sourced content and replaced them with his own personal opinions. When I reverted his vandalism he keeps saying that I have no sources to back up my the original contents. Then I searched and backed up the original contents with multiple sources from Chinese and Western news media he then say that my sources are not reliable and his source is !

Type 093 submarine Chengdu J-20 JL-2

Please take a look at his behavior !

In fact his only source is another Wikipedia page link to the US Department of Defense !

Please see his reverting history for evidences. I have warned him on many occasions yet he does not know how to stop nor proving me wrong. He just keeping saying that his only source is "reliable" while my many sources being "unreliable".

Admins please stop him !--2602:306:B8BF:C0:A40B:3EC8:EBC1:5351 (talk) 01:49, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Comments:

User is edit-warring to remove reliably-sourced information and in so doing, is presenting a specifically-named living person in a false light in contravention of the Biographies of Living Persons policy. The removal of that reliably-sourced information results in the article lying by omission, as the edit removes the word "false" from the phrase "false allegations" about this specific person. This has the effect of taking negative claims which are well-established by reliable sources to be untrue and presenting them as a subject of debate. There is discussion of this matter on the talk page. I have obviously gone beyond 3RR here, but this is a clear-cut application of the BLP exemption, as the user in question is edit-warring to falsely depict a living person in contravention of policy.

This user has been repeatedly warned in the past for the same edits, but their block (I believe) and the page's protection did not hault their behavior. This has been going on for quite some time. Whilst they have taken a break, they have returned with the same results and they don't seem to quit and I fear that's their motive. When the edit warring first began, more editors came along, as I suspected there was sock puppetry occurring. Though, now, it's only this user. Callmemirela (talk) 05:39, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

EdJohnston Thank you for your help. Your last sentence made me chuckle. Although, I do have one worry. I believe, through my point of view and opinion, this IP is associated with the One Million Moms organization.

Reporting this as a previously involved administrator; saw this unfolding via my watchlist. only (talk) 01:35, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Regarding Mirro Aluminum Company, I believe an image of the company building should appear in the infobox. If there is an image field in the infobox, why not use it? Asher Heimermann (talk) 01:55, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

This photo was taken many years after the company no longer existed, and in fact, has now been demolished so it serves to purpose to help identify the company which is the purpose of the infobox. It is of post-company interest which is why I moved it to a gallery in the article space. Besides, the article is about the company itself and not about the building(s) that it owned. If you disagree with a change made by an editor, you need to start a discussion on the article talk page about it and not to continually revert and redo edits as you have been doing. Nyth63 02:03, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

In fact, the building still stands. Only a portion of the building was demolished but most of it still stands as of today's date. The pictures I added to the article were taken by myself yesterday afternoon. A picture serves the public's interest in identifying the company. Asher Heimermann (talk) 02:08, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

This discussion belongs on the article's talk page. If you disagreed with my edit, we should have started a discussion on the talk page rather than continuing with reverts. Nyth63 14:59, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

User insists on removing a section from CL's talkpage against CL's wishes. User has been warned twice, and reverted by multiple users, yet still carries on removing the section. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 08:34, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

If this reverts were for an article on wikipedia I am guilty as charged but because it is a section on User Talk Page I have done nothing wrong. The section contains insulting statements towards me so I insist that the section be removed or the insulting statements be removed. Mckmckmt (talk) 08:45, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

From WP:3RR:

An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page—whether involving the same or different material—within a 24-hour period. [...] A "page" means any page on Wikipedia, including talk and project space.

There really isn't any wiggle room there.

Besides, your insistence on deleting CnL's reply to you is a clear violation of WP:TALK. Per WP:REDACT, you can strike out your comments, but you can't delete them once they've been replied to. And you certainly cannot even strike out anyone else's comments on their own talk page. Not even if you don't like them. If this hadn't been brought to 3RR I expect it would have been brought to AN/I.

Say, did you consider asking CnL to archive that section? Jeh (talk) 08:53, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

I have filed under ANI Mckmckmt (talk) 09:48, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

• Note that the above ANI thread was closed as being pretty frivolous. This 3RR case still needs dealing with, as it's pretty blatant; 3RR applies everywhere (bar certain pages under 1RR restriction, but that's a bit different), not just in mainspace. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 10:16, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

• Let me summarize: I have never seen a more self-involved, rude, clueless and hostile Wikipedia editor in my life. The worst of everyone else I've seen so far were either very self-involved, or very vindictive, or very rude or extremely dumb but none of them were all four at once.) These personality traits mean that he will never accept that he made mistake, no matter how many people tell him so. So, please, block him permanently. He is a plague upon Wikipedia. Fleet Command (talk) 11:01, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

"I have never seen a more...". Sure you have, just look in the mirror. 108.4.2.206 (talk) 11:19, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Oh, look! It's my Iranian stalker! Well, I have looked in the mirror. I'm just obnoxious. I'm definitely not an idiot. You are three of these, not four. Fleet Command (talk) 11:29, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

• I wouldn't go that far with regards to your description of Mckmckmt; I've seen a lot, lot worse, and they did at least retract some of their personal attacks. The IP above isn't really worth responding to; obvious troll is obvious. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 11:52, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

• Well, maybe we should compare. I have seen Betacommand/Δ, Dogmaticecelectic, Janagewen, Toddst1 and this Iranian IP stalker above... and myself. Who have you seen worse? Mckmckmt is worse than all of them. Fleet Command (talk) 12:01, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

• I have seen several of the editors you list there. Mckmckmt isn't the most civil user in the world, but to claim that they're the worst you've ever seen is a tad daft, and also not helpful (as naming "worse" users would also be unhelpful, I shan't do so.) I think you're getting too invested in this situation to act in a neutral manner, and you reversions of Mckmckmt's revocation of their own personal attacks show that; I recommend you take a step back, and let other users deal with it. This is, after all, an open-and-shut case. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 12:08, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

• Maybe. But I think you and I have a disagreement; that's all. It is no reason to think because I disagree with you, I am too invested. Maybe you are not as sensitive to harassment as you should be? Let's agree to disagree on that and leave it. But let's compare Mckmckmt with Codename Lisa instead: If she makes a sloppy edit and you tell her "your edit was sloppy", she doesn't responding by going to ANI and saying ":Sob: :Sob: Lukeno94 insulted me! :Sob:". What I am saying is, calling an edit sloppy isn't a personal attack. Personal attacks target editors, not their edits. Fleet Command (talk) 12:57, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

• My concern is that your actions/language are/is more likely to detract from this case than help it. Questioning my sensitivity to harassment is both bizarre and irrelevant. Yes, Lisa doesn't respond like that, but then, she's an experienced editor who is familiar with the processes here. Mckmckmt is not, and whilst their language has been poor at times, neither involved party is entirely innocent of such things (and nor are either of us two, although at least in this case I've refrained from any attacks). This board is for discussing edit warring, and establishing if there was any valid case for a 3RR exemption; in this case, there wasn't. Further discussions of conduct/language/content are not helpful. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 14:06, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

• Result: User:Mckmckmt is warned that the 3RR rule applies everywhere on Wikipedia, including user talk pages. This version of the affected talk may be a compromise that people can live with. A complaint at ANI about this same dispute has already been closed. EdJohnston (talk) 18:04, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

There isn't a lot to say really, Curly Turkey seriously thinks that Wikipedia belongs to him. I don't what the exact issue is between him and the Trackteur, but the part that I've restored and that Curly Turkey keeps removing has already been discussed here and the admin EdJohnston agreed with what it said. MoorNextDoor (talk) 17:17, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

• No, this is a flat-out lie---the content disputed there is unrelated to the content disputed here, and EdJohnson declined as the report had become stale, not because he agreed with any party. Please don't fall for MoorNextDoor's diversionary tactics. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 18:18, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

• MoorNextDoor Note :

Curly Turkey was present at the time, he cannot claim that he didn't know about it. MoorNextDoor (talk) 17:50, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

• MoorNextDoor Note :

I just restored what Curly Turkey deleted from my report (see diff below), apparently, I do not even have the right to report what I want, even here in the presence of the admins he thinks he can do what he wants.

• • This was very obviously an error, as I discuss the deleted diffs in the very edit in which they are deleted. This is exactly the kind of comment MoorNextDoor tends to make to obscure the issues. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 18:18, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

MoorNextDoor (talk) 18:00, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

• Note 1: MoorNextDoor has already been warned for both 6RR and 7RR, and has since 8RRed. He has been carrying on this edit war with both myself and Trackteur. MoorNextDoor has a history of aggressive tendentious editing on the page, and browsing through the talk page will demonstrate that he has no interest in building consensus (here is the latest of many attempts to get him to discuss—it just goes endlessly in circles as he refuses to answer direct questions).
  MoorNextDoor's is a war of attrition. Whatever the outcome, a block will not be sufficient to stop the behaviour—MoorNextDoor is poised to revert to his preferred version again once the block is over, and has proven himself unwilling to discuss or to abide by consensus. Here are MoorNextDoor's reverts:
• 1RR
• 2RR
• 3RR
• 4RR
• 5RR
• 6RR
• 7RR
• 8RR
• Note 2: the other edit war listed is of a different veriety: an editor whose English skills are not up to the task, and who has avoided discussing it. If I have to be blocked for it, then somebody else had better step in to clean up Trackteur's broken English.
• Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 17:39, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

It appears that three editors have broken WP:3RR: User:Curly Turkey, User:MoorNextDoor and User:Trackteur. Is the right way to close this a block for three people? Or do you think those involved could promise to stop reverting? EdJohnston (talk) 18:16, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

I can guarantee MoorNextDoor will not stop. I already have, and so has Trackteur. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 18:21, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Anyone who's capable of deleting someone's report will not stop unless he's made to stop. For my part, you can clearly see that I only restored the deleted content that Curly Turkey never objected to when the definition suited him. MoorNextDoor (talk) 18:24, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Just how obvious that was an error is explicated above---and, yes, it was obvious to you, too, MoorNextDoor. After all, I discuss the deleted links in the very edit where I deleted them. You're only demonstrating your bad faith with this comment.

That link and the content discussed in it are 100% unrelated to this dispute---are you hoping that people won't click through? Anyways, you appear to have committed yourself to continuing the edit war, as long as you're only restoring "deleted content", is it? Because consensus is bunk, right? Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 18:43, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

• Please take note of the fact that MoorNectDoor refuses to promise to stop, and refuses to recognize consensus. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 18:44, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
  • I have nothing to say to someone who's capable of deleting a signed portion of a report. MoorNextDoor (talk) 18:46, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
    • Please note just how many times MoorNextDoor is willing to repeat this even after it's been debunked. Is it even credible to assume he will take part in any discussion in good faith, abide by consensus, or stop edit warring? Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 18:52, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
• The trouble with the Kouachi brothers is that they are French terrorists. We wouldn't have this problem if they were terrorists from another country or French Nobel laureates (so much for WP:NPOV). One can only guess why some would like to hide this simple fact [27][28]. Because of Curly's objection, some well meaning editor went ahead and butchered the section. EdJohnston: Whatever decision you make, please make sure this dispute is dealt with once and for all. MoorNextDoor (talk) 19:52, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
• Both editors blocked – for a period of 48 hours Bjelleklang - talk 20:52, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
• Comment I also blocked User:Trackteur for two weeks, as he was previously blocked for EW approx. two months ago. Bjelleklang - talk 20:52, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
• Comment I would suggest that all involved editors refrain from reverting anything in this article once the blocks wears out, and use the talkpages instead. If that fails to work, please go to WP:DR. Bjelleklang - talk 20:52, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Bjelleklang, thank-you for your sound decision and regrettably necessary action. I am an uninvolved editor who has been reading the discussions. May I please come to you for advice and ask you one very general question: How does a reasonable editor deal with another person who has unlimited energy, who refuses to compromise, and who will stop at nothing to get their way? How could anyone? If it were me, I would have to give up; no one could possibly deal with someone who has unlimited energy, who refuses to compromise, and who will stop at nothing. I wouldn't think anything was that important, so I would give up. But that means that I would "lose" and the other person, who never gave an inch, "wins". That can't be right; I would think that reasonableness should pay off, not the opposite. Is there a simple answer? Thank-you for any thoughts that you have.

This user has been repeatedly making disruptive edits to the "starring" parameter in the infobox of the Charmed article. The user keeps listing Alyssa Milano's name first but it was agreed at Talk:Charmed#Starring sections last year that the lead actresses should be listed in the order of the most episodes they appeared in – Holly Marie Combs (179 episodes), Alyssa Milano (178 episodes), Rose McGowan (112 episodes), Shannen Doherty (67 episodes). The IP editor has reverted in the article 15 times, with 7 being this month. A few other users have helped revert the IP's unexplained edits but it won't stop. I have also explained to the IP editor in edit summaries and on its talk page but the user won't listen. The IP editor was recently warned on its talk page by another user but it is still making reverts. I reported this at WP:ANI and they told me to come here if the behaviour continues.

Comments: I'm sorry if I've filled out any of this incorrectly, or even filed this in the wrong place. It turned out to be a bigger issue than I thought, when I went through this user's contributions. There already is a sockpuppet investigation filed (again) for this user as well. I've included the IP address that's been active on the Turkic dynasties page, as their activity and comments seem to indicate that it was Uniquark9 while logged out. Last, on the Genghis Khan page, where I encountered a problem with this user, I ended up going past 3RR myself, and am willing to be subject to a temporary page or topic ban if that is deemed necessary.

Update: I'm adding User:Mehmeett21 to this, since they have been warned by another user against edit warring on the Turkic dynasties page but have continued to do so in response to Uniquark9.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 18:48, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

This user has failed to reach an explanation as to why their version was better than the original. When asked, they only respond with inappropriate name calling as shown on my talk page [52]. The original was done for the first 2 weeks without any issue, until they started editing. I keep try to get this resolved on the talk page, but they won't attempt to, instead, they just revert, and re-do their edits. Bbfan23 (talk) 11:45, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

• Comment: I only see two obvious reverts by DPH1110 on 28 January. The submitted diffs are not diffs, they are only versions. (See m:Diff). Unless this report is clarified to show four reverts, I suggest the report be closed without action. EdJohnston (talk) 20:14, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

• Not sure how to make diffs of the talk page threads. There's four threads all about the same thing which were not edited consecutively. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 01:37, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

• I think what is necessary to do here is look at manner in which the topic is developing and the quality of the references that are being added. To look at the actual topic

At first blush, Dennis makes an apparently justifiable complaint, and is obviously skilled in doing so, however his actions betray that this issue have become somewhat personal for him, and petty. For example, also attempting to have the first page I started deleted [53] rather than help develop it.

What is this all about? Why is he holding back the development of the page? Why are they persistently deleting my contributions? It appears to be some kind of agenda relating to the labelling of motorcycle clubs as "gangs" that he and Brianhe share. Yes, I continued developing after Marteau reverted it as their rational was unreasonable. They claimed "mob of youths" (accurate quote from a references) was some kind of unique "Varietyspeak" (after the magazine), slang not suitable for here.

It clearly is not.

It's just part of a personal vendetta for Dennis now. They are acting as a little tag team together and are refusing to discuss and take on board the issue regarding changing definitions of such words as "gang" and "outlaw" relating to motorcyclists, and the need for accuracy instead of POV grinding calling all bike club a gang by default. That is all it is really about.

In case they revert it again, this is where I have developed it to [54], please judge for yourself based on content. --Salty Batter (talk) 01:57, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Troll-like edit warrior who is introducing errors and inaccuracies to make a point. See the sequence of edits starting with my reversion here - note the edit summaries. Plenty of examples in other articles.

Warned several times over previous disruptive edits. Taken to ANI (ineffectually, my fault) here. Recent attempt to report at AIV rejected on the grounds that it's "hardly vandalism at all)"(??) andy (talk) 08:50, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

I'm Just trying to improve wikipedia. If I delete the word "originally" and you insist on having it, me making it apply to both the writer and illistrator equally isn't "trolling" it's me trying to meet you half way. if you're going to be long winded. we can at least be accurate. sorry if you took it personally. just helping out. I noticed in your evidence you failed to find a single testimony from any other editor. interesting no one but you gets upset. Bryce Carmony (talk) 09:07, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

If User:Bryce Carmony's change (to remove 'originally' from 'originally written') is truly an improvement why does it need a revert war to keep it out? It would be appreciated if he would agree to look for consensus on this type of change. Will he go to Talk:Gray's Anatomy before reverting again? EdJohnston (talk) 20:37, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

I feel like I have consensus, I added "originally" in front of other articles in various places of wikipedia to see how people felt about it. No one really liked it, so to me I had the answer. if people who watch "hey jude" thought "originally written" was better than "written" then I would say " alright so wikipedia that is sorta the voice we're going with currently" I'm not going to apologize for being bold. I am speaking on the voice of the consensus, Andy has a personal grudge against me, calls me an "idiot" , accuses me of vandalism without baseless ( this is the 3rd time he's accused me of some sort of crime or another ) so for Andy it's very personal, he has a lot of ego in this ( for some reason) I don't. No other wikipedians have problems with me. and no one besides andy insists on putting redundant adverbs. If I go to 10 articles and put "originally" in front of something written that has since been re-written. I don't think those articles will like that. because I am speaking in the consensus.Andy can keep on accusing me of this or that, if it gets him through the day I'm happy to give his life meaning.Bryce Carmony (talk) 02:32, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

To clarify, I'm happy to make a talk discussion ( you can see in my edit history anytime I make a large change I create a talk section ) if someone disagrees with me than I'm happy to make any changes and find what's best. I'm not sitting here with an agenda or an ax to grind. I'm just here editing with the consensus of what I've both SEEN on other articles and what editors have said on other articles. Look at the page "executive summary" where I made a talk section. we talked through the issues, and we made progress and improved the article. In chess if both players make the same move 3 times it's a draw. This is not a draw, this is I make a change, andy makes a different change. I make a different change. it's not reverts and just toggling back and forth. it's an active process of improvement. clarifying the work. the "game" ( to extend my already thin chess medaphore ) is being played, it is not a draw.Bryce Carmony (talk) 02:47, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Will you agree to wait for consensus about 'originally' at Talk:Grey's Anatomy before making the change again? If you do, it might allow this complaint to be closed with no action. So far you've made no use of that talk page. EdJohnston (talk) 02:54, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

I'll make use of the talk page no problem. should be easy to come to a consensus between the editors. :) Bryce Carmony (talk) 06:41, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

• I haven't accused this editor of acting against consensus and as far as I know he has never done so. The only use of the word "consensus" has been in one facetious edit summary after an act of vandalism. Let's be clear, I'm making a very serious accusation of trolling that could lead to one of us being blocked. Specifically, I would like to see an examination of the edits I listed above and consideration of the other edits I listed previously at ANI. andy (talk) 08:23, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
• Whoops! Please note this edit while this discussion is still underway. If that's not bad faith I don't know what is! andy (talk) 12:58, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

  • It appears as though this has been an ongoing attempt to use the Italian name of the club rather than the common English name. It's not clear that the first was a revert but it was a change from WP:FOOTY consensus name. The editor is now harassing me for reporting. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:18, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

      • Anon's edits were better. They linked to what the anon felt should be the club's name but did not change COMMONNAME of club. The link did resolve to the COMMONNAME. I didn't see it as socking. Of greater concern is that PabloOsvaldo17 has indicated a desire to become an admin. See editor's talk page. Walter Görlitz (talk) 19:27, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

While the article talk page was not used attempts to explain were made here User talk:Beyond My Ken#Your reversal of my revision to the Clara Bow page, with the posting of my warning here and at the thread here Wikipedia:Help desk#Units. Obviously all of these have been ignored.

Comments:

• I am peripherally involved through the Help desk thread that the subject user started, a misuse of Help desk. Multiple attempts to explain editing process, beyond talk page templating, were ignored and EW continued. Suggest a short block. ―Mandruss ☎ 06:23, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
• Note to other administrators. I left a message on the user's Talk page telling them that unless they stay away from Clara Bow for one week, they risk being blocked for edit-warring. However, I will not be around (bedtime) to follow up. Obviously, any administrator is free to take whatever action they deem appropriate.--Bbb23 (talk) 06:27, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

  • I am being hassled and threatened with suspension for trying to correct the use of the outdated Imperial system on Wikipedia pages by two users by the name of NarnetteD and Mandruss. This needs to stop. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kubrickrules (talk • contribs) 01:38, 29 January 2015‎ (UTC)
    • I'm insulted that I wasn't mentioned, since I was the first editor to revert Kubrickrules, and to explain on my talk page why he was reverted. There's obviously no "hassling" going on, since the two mentioned editors, and others, have simply tried to explain WP:UNIT to KBR. I've also advised him to read WP:POINT. BMK (talk) 08:13, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
      • Don't be insulted, I'm sure it was just an oversight. We have also tried to explain things like WP:EW and WP:BRD, to deaf ears. For a new editor I think it's important to establish a clear understanding of those ground rules before anything like WP:UNIT. Combining them only confuses things. ―Mandruss ☎ 08:19, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
        • Although it would certainly appear so from their behavior, KBR is not a newbie. He's been editing since 2007, although his edit total is only 163. BMK (talk) 08:58, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
          • IK'm sure others have thought about this as well, but this could also be delberate trolling, perhaps a sock, or perhaps someone else is editing on the account, since I can't find any evidence of previous problems with the account, nor of a particular concern over metric vs. Imperial (which, actually, we call "United States customary units" in the U.S., having divested ourselves of Imperial rule a number of years ago). BMK (talk) 09:05, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Comments:

Mutt Lunker has repeatedly reverted to various disputed versions of the article, while discussion is proceeding and before there's a consensus, erroneously claiming he has consensus and erroneously accusing me of canvassing. Please see Talk:Haggis for the discussion. Also please note that I changed the article to what I thought was the consensus, before Mutt Lunker reversed on that consensus and starting acting in a condescending manner towards me. Squinge (talk) 18:03, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Please also see User talk:Mutt Lunker for further discussion. Squinge (talk) 18:07, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

A fuss about very little. Just needs a bit of further discussion and cooler heads without anyone jumping the gun. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 18:08, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

I agree, but I've been trying that for days and all he does is revert and insult - he's reverted four times now and is getting increasingly aggressive. All I want is for him to stop being so condescending and stop reverting while the discussion is continuing. Squinge (talk) 18:15, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

To note, my last edit was a reversion to Squinge him/herself's last and professed then and current favourite version of the article. The previous edit was after a day or so's worth of meticulous and careful explanations on the talk page about disagreements with Squinge's position, which they largely did not actively dispute, appearing to not have taken them on board or to be actively ignoring them, then simply re-expressing their view without even addressing the point I had repeated. After a day or so of attempting to get Squinge to address the same points, with all other contributors at least critical of Squinge's preferred article version, and Squinge the only expressed exponent of their preferred version, I decided to draw the issue to a close. Mutt Lunker (talk) 18:21, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Well, we arrived at what I thought was a compromise on Swede, but then you launched into a condescending attack on me at the talk page telling me how wrong I was after I thought I'd agreed with you! What you need to now do is *stop* all reverting, for or away from any version, until there is a consensus, and step back from your increasingly aggressive stance and start assuming a bit of good faith. Escape Orbit's comments clearly mean there is not a consensus yet, and their change was to the version before the dispute - and that is correct according to WP:BRD. Squinge (talk) 18:37, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

• I have reverted to the version before the disputed change was first made, as per WP:BRD, and I would ask all participants in the discussion not to change anything further until a consensus has been achieved. I'm off for the rest of the evening and will be happy to read all further thoughts and to contribute further some time tomorrow, and if Mutt Lunker is prepared to stop reverting and wait, I think there will hopefully be no need to take this further. Squinge (talk) 19:12, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

• After further discussion, I'm happy to withdraw this report. I'm not sure if it needs an admin to close it, but I've marked it as "Withdraw - No action needed" and I hope that's OK. Squinge (talk) 17:24, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

The user was warned not to revert the edits for a third time. Despite failing to heed the warning, the user was then given two further opportunities to revert the edits and avoid being reported. The user then attempted character assassination rather than revert the edits. RealDealBillMcNeal (talk) 23:59, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

RealDealBillMcNeal (the user who made the complaint about me) repeatedly introduced uncited WP:OR into the article. He has been blocked from the community four times, is on a final warning, routinely uses profane and aggressive edit summaries, and has been characterised by an administrator as someone with a "history of vandalism" who is "engaged in a long campaign to lightly troll everyone, just enough to have fun, but not so much that he gets blocked".[84] This would be his latest trollfest. Phieuxghazzieh (talk) 00:04, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

So, in essence, the defence is "wah wah wah he started it". Bold move. RealDealBillMcNeal (talk) 04:08, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

More like, 'he violated WP:OR three times, then pointed to someone else as the problem'. Your glaring inability to admit to your wrongdoings, especially after all the blocks and warnings, is staggering. Phieuxghazzieh (talk) 20:02, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Big fan of you continuously ignoring the fact that my findings are coming from WWE's own advertising and merchandise, ergo WP:OR is completely and utterly irrelevant. The deflective tactics are neverending. RealDealBillMcNeal (talk) 22:07, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Well done. Rather than provide anything resembling citations, you Googled posters saved on random sites (high chance some of the findings were fan-made) and expect us to accept the main events you came up with. On top of that, you blatantly ignored the pre-existing cites and just added your own main events. WP:OR and WP:VNT patently failed. Phieuxghazzieh (talk) 23:32, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Big fan of you blatantly not even checking those sources. Your protestations are wholly inaccurate, and therefore worthless. RealDealBillMcNeal (talk) 05:14, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

You didn't provide any "sources". All we got was your word, based on the WP:OR you'd done. Phieuxghazzieh (talk) 05:31, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

A tragic failure to utilise common sense by you here. If you're going to bang on about sources yet again, there are no sources for the last 17 WrestleMania's and yet you have neither removed that information or corrected it. Your failure to understand the policy you are citing is disgusting, and the pertinent part is mentioned in the second paragraph of the policy - "The prohibition against OR (original research) means that all material added to articles must be attributable to a reliable published source, even if not actually attributed". WWE television, advertising posters and DVD covers are all official published sources for how their own company's scripted matches were promoted, and therefore an in-line citations isn't necessary, particularly for such a minor piece of information. (By "exists", the community means that the reliable source must have been published and still exist—somewhere in the world, in any language, whether or not it is reachable online—even if no source is currently named in the article. Articles that currently name zero references of any type may be fully compliant with this policy—so long as there is a reasonable expectation that every bit of material is supported by a published, reliable source) RealDealBillMcNeal (talk) 20:59, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

WP:COMMON is exactly what I'm using. The final match for the last 17 WrestleManias is listed, and that's the main event unless said otherwise. The last contest on a wrestling, fighting or boxing card is, you know, the main event.

Given wrestling fans' penchant for creating their own promotional materials, Googling and using random sites as "sources" is extremely questionable. Phieuxghazzieh (talk) 00:39, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Goalposts being moved yet again is it? You are aware that PPV's can have multiple main events, right? I mean, Fully Loaded back in the year 2000 was promoted as having three mainevents. Since then, obviously it has become the norm, particularly for WrestleMania, and is no longer such a rarity. WWE's weekly programming, official promotional material and DVD covers aren't fan made, therefore they're the actual source. You seem painfully unaware about literally every aspect you're arguing.

Editor has added poorly sourced inforamtion and been reverted, not responded to talkpage and has been slighty uncivil in this es. Murry1975 (talk) 17:03, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Editor has not respond directly to tp, he has tried to address the sources but on a quick view today has not added RSs (blog added in one case). Admin EdJohnston yesterday request they stop until consensus is reached, they have not. Also a note on the page, <!-- DO NOT ADD ANY SF UNITS UNLESS YOU HAVE ALSO ADDED A RELIABLE SOURCE -->, was placed there for this very reason.

walter gorlitz (Result: Incomplete report)

I am the chief editor on Kit Carson. It has been sent to GA noms. Wlater gorlitz is making inappropriate, irrelevant changes and reverts to the article. Please help! This behavior seems his operating procedure from a glance at his archives. SeeSpot Run (talk) 23:43, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

SeeSpot Run A) There is no such thing as a chief editor on any article. B) This is not the way to file a 3rr report. C) This will be blanked soon if not before I am done typing. MarnetteD|Talk 23:50, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

I was just going to say that. Please see WP:OWN.

The consensus on the talk page (a discussion between at least three editors, including SeeSpot Run) is that the removal of a specific infobox is not appropriate for the article, but SeeSpot Run's attitude is that he's the primary editor and he knows what's best for the article. Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:52, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

• Carson had a "multi-faceted" career. He was not simply a "military man". The infobox needs to reflect this rather than focusing on his lackluster, tired 8-year military career. WP is not under an obligation to the "military fans". SeeSpot Run (talk) 16:39, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

The article works fine with the registered editors that update it's content. Due to constant vandalism - and should I say edit warring as IPs keep doing it - I believe the best thing for the article would be to give it protection. Maybe a month. It might be enough time to get this ones away as we didn't have problems like this before. Thanks. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 03:30, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

• Result: Warned. If User:Amblerdrive continues to revert at Scott Walker he is risking a block. The safest approach is to wait for a talk page consensus. At first glance it appears that Amblerdrive wants to make this article more negative about the subject. So when he reverts and includes in his edit summary "Appears to be politically motivated" it looks ironic. I don't see a clear 3RR here, otherwise a block might be considered.

Comments: IP-hopping user edit warring over misleading material. Apparently switched to using a single purpose account when he/she reached three reverts. Middayexpress (talk) 20:12, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Only logged in today and requested the user attain consensus before making edits to the British Nigerian page. The user wishes to use a report from one London borough (Please be aware there are 32 in London alone and the report is not a national level report) citing general statistics on Africans to replace specific data of the academic attainment of British Nigerian children.

I reverted Midday's edits as I assumed they were in good faith, instead of engaging in discussion, the used has been dishonest about IP hopping and immediately raised a 3RR request.

All I would request is that this warring request is ignored and Midday's changes be reverted until he achieves consensus. Additionally the reports he has cited can be defined as WP:OR as he attempting to use a local report for one region in London against data collected specifically on that ethnic group at a national level.Nograviti (talk)

• Note. Even assuming both IPs are the named account, there are only three reverts. You are counting consecutive edits as separate reverts. BTW, you also have three reverts.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:47, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Understood Bbb23, but there's apparently more to this. Please see below. Middayexpress (talk) 21:18, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Nograviti: Nigerians are aggregated within the official African total indicated by the Camden Education Commission, while the 78% figure that you have been trying to force through is a WP:REDFLAG figure only found in that one editorial. This is irrelant anyway, as this venue isn't for continuing disputes (see note at the top). The fact that you apparently haven't logged in since this summer, never edited the British Nigerian page with this account prior to today, wrote virtually identical messages as the ip hopper ([91] [92], [93]), and showed up just when the ip hopper had reached three reverts, also strongly suggests that you are indeed the ip hopper (who, btw, already admitted to ip hopping [94]). Ironically, I wouldn't have even bothered with all this had you simply stuck with one ip and actually engaged my various attempts at discussion on your talk page instead of ignoring them. By the way, it's remarkable that your very first edit on Wikipedia just so happened to be to this very board, and on the same British Nigerian page you never even ostensibly edited prior to today [95]. Middayexpress (talk) 21:18, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Suggestion is not fact. Please revert your changes as your sources are WP:OR and in the meantime we can go into a dispute resolution process about the data. I am a British professor and I take a keen interest in minority achievement (Nigerians being a wonderful black success story) and look at the page periodically to see what new information has been provided and saw your recent edit warring and decided to intervene.

I don't take kindly to a man who is obviously of Somali extraction removing information for what are probably personal reasons then trying to pass of flimsy material as a more worthy replacement. .Nograviti (talk)

I already explained why I removed that editorial's WP:REDFLAG figure, and it has nothing to do with the odd conjecture above. Unfortunately, I also don't volunteer personal info, nor do I take personal claims at face value. They must first at the very least make sense. At any rate, I've replied on the talk page (a discussion which I also started); please direct any future responses there. Middayexpress (talk) 22:00, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Prhartcom has repeatedly reverted to various disputed versions of the articles, while discussion is taking place. In the edit summary, he also made it clear to JOJ (see edit summary) that he intends to abuse the editing power that WP:AWB gives him. MoorNextDoor (talk) 14:48, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

• Note. This report has a history to it (see this discussion at Bjelleklang's Talk page).--Bbb23 (talk) 18:31, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
  • @Bbb23:. This report is about edit warring and WP:AWB abuse, it is completely unrelated to the other one. MoorNextDoor (talk) 19:51, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
    • Then you'll have to do a better job demonstrating your case because after looking at a few of your many diffs, it seems to be a small battle across many pages between Prhartcom and Jojhutton. Nor am I sure why you are reporting this.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:00, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
      • @Bbb23: What you call a small battle is nothing less than edit warring and WP:AWB abuse. You mean we need a good reason to report such behaviour ? MoorNextDoor (talk) 20:09, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
        • All I see is one change by Prhartcom, a revert by Jojhutton, and a revert back by Prhartcom. Where's the edit warring? Nor do I see any "AWB abuse". The ones I looked at didn't even involve AWB. OTOH, I do see that based on your previous interaction with the reported user, you may have an ulterior motive for reporting this. That's all I have to say on this matter. I do not intend to take any action. If another admin feels differently, that's fine.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:40, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
          • @Bbb23: You'll notice that there is one change by Prhartcom, a revert by Jojhutton, and a revert back by Prhartcom in all listed pages. Furthermore, you'll also notice how Prhartcom made it quite clear (in the edit summary) that he intends to abuse the editing power that WP:AWB gives him. As for the ulterior motive, I have noticed his bullish behaviour and the way he plays the system, it's that simple (but if you want to bring his canvassing issue into this, then by all means do). Some editors have been around for so long, they feel that the rules don't apply to them any more, I can't help but feel that a small reminder wouldn't do them any harm.
          • Maybe I misunderstood the rules, but I thought that the part that stipulates that "even without a 3RR violation, an administrator may still act if they believe a user's behavior constitutes edit warring, and any user may report edit warring with or without 3RR being breached" meant that such behaviour could and should be reported by anyone. MoorNextDoor (talk) 20:56, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
            • • That user was clearly Taunting me, but I didn't take the bait. Yet this is clearly disruptive behavior when a user is willing to abuse the tools in order to push an edit war. I may just go to ANI.--JOJ ^Hutton 21:37, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
• Result: No action at this time. This report is wide ranging and could use a better focus. If the dispute is about the title of the Tintin movie, then User:Prhartcom's effort to open a move discussion at Talk:The Adventures of Tintin (film)/Archives/2021/December#Requested move 30 January 2015 may solve the problem. See also the above comment by User:Bbb23. EdJohnston (talk) 16:35, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks to the wise administrators of this board including EdJohnston and Bbb23. As EdJohnston wondered aloud what the dispute is about, it's about the WP:WIKIHOUNDING of me by recently blocked user MoorNextDoor, whose statistics show he prefers typing on Talk pages over improvements to Wikipedia articles, because of his resentment to consolation and advice I once gave to another editor whom they have also have an unhealthy grudge against. I fully expect to see some sort of retort by MoorNextDoor below, but as for myself, I have long since returned to productivity and suggest this editor do the same. Cheers all. Prhartcom (talk) 17:04, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

@Prhartcom: Consider yourself lucky this time, you're getting away with 3RR in one page and many others across different pages, your name will be remembered the next time someone complaints about your behaviour. In the meantime, fire up WP:AWB and go back to doing what you do best "gaming the system". I didn't want to bring up the other subject or say what I think of someone who manipulates others and engages in blatant canvassing, but since you insist, I have no other choice but to let the others judge for themselves what your so called advice consisted of and most importantly, why you gave it. MoorNextDoor (talk) 17:55, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

You are incorrect about 3RR. Prhartcom and Jojhutton both reverted three times on that page. I'm closing this. Any comments by anyone other than an administrator will be reverted.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:38, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Slow burn edit-warring that is starting to speed up. SPA repeatedly adds the same text to an Indian caste article over the last month despite being reverted by 4 different users. The text is unsourced or poorly sourced.

Comments:
IP editor, who's probably the same editor as before, insists on classifying this party as 'centre to centre-left' despite consensus to the contrary. Not a 3RR breach. Alakzi (talk) 22:38, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

There is no consensus. The party belongs to the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats which is by definition centre-left. There are also many sources citing the party as centre-left. The party is centrist to centre-left. 77.49.169.33 (talk) 22:46, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Yes, there is consensus -- which might've changed if you'd been willing to argue the merits of the classification. If you revert yourself and post on the article's talk page, I'll withdraw my report. Alakzi (talk) 23:00, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

There is no consensus by me. 77.49.169.33 (talk) 23:03, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Consensus isnt the agreement of everyone its the agreed on opinion after discussion.See WP:CONSENSUS Amortias (T)(C) 23:05, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Consensus among two or three users? So what? There are VERY strong arguments against that "consensus". And there are many sources supporting these arguments. 77.49.169.33 (talk) 23:21, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

It's not 'two or three'; it's exactly three. There are VERY strong arguments against that "consensus". Which you're very welcome to expand on at the article's talk page. If they're indeed 'very strong', it shouldn't prove too difficult to persuade us. The fact here is that you've been edit warring against consensus. Alakzi (talk) 23:36, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [122]

Comments:IP keeps removing brief quotes from lead of the article. He oddly claims that the use of the quotes is a copyright violation. Even in the discussion on my Talk page he on the one hand says it's impermissible and on the other hand seems to say that quotes are okay.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:11, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

It's not odd at all. They are not quotes. They are non-free text being used in place of free text, masquerading as quotes, and thus in contravention of core policy. Quote are OK, non-free text instead of a free alternative is not OK. Not hard to understand, surely. I have explained this carefully; you reverted without giving a reason, which appeared to be purely disruptive. 200.83.136.145 (talk) 15:22, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

I'll make one last effort at this and then leave it to others. If you're saying the language is "non-free text", that must mean it was copied from a copyrighted source. How can such text marked clearly with quotation marks be "masquerading as quotes"? What is the difference between these quotes and other quotes in articles that are, according to you, "OK"?--Bbb23 (talk) 15:25, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

So let's start Winston Churchill as follows:

"Sir Winston Churchill, in full Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill (born Nov. 30, 1874, Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire, Eng.—died Jan. 24, 1965, London), British statesman, orator, and author who as prime minister (1940–45, 1951–55) rallied the British people during World War II and led his country from the brink of defeat to victory."

It's in quotes so it's OK, even if it's copied from Britannica. Right? 200.83.136.145 (talk) 15:24, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

• 200.81.136.145 aka Best known for IP, how you could forgot about the 0 revert restriction[123] that was imposed on you? OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 15:29, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

(e/c) This IP is supposed to be editing under a 0RR restriction, which was a condition of his unblocking [124]. An admin unblocked him with that specific condition [125], which he agreed to [126]. Bretonbanquet (talk) 15:33, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Oh, that's who this is. That explains a lot. @Drmies:?--Bbb23 (talk) 15:45, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

• WP:NOTHERE seems to apply. Looking at all of this IPs edits from the second one on, the user pretty much does nothing but revert the edits of others, leave negative and cutting edit summaries with personal attack-like comments, and edit war. Certainly doesn't look like a new user, likely evading a block or sanction. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 15:43, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

@Winkelvi: Like I have highlighted in my previous comment, you can check Best known for IP. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 15:47, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

• Hey Bbb--thanks for the ping. Yes, this is the editor that some other editors have given a nickname and an LTV page. They weren't supposed to be reverting; Yngvadottir has the paperwork, somewhere. Eh...what shall I comment on? Winkelvi, don't shoot from the hip; this editor is certainly HERE, though they're here with an attitude, certainly. Their positive edits far outweigh the negative ones, and you of all people should be able to understand how they feel. That doesn't make them automatically right, of course.

  We're not here for content, I suppose, since this is the EW board; I do not agree with the restrictive, too-principled stand of the IP editor, but everyone knows (esp. Moonriddengirl) that I'm no expert.

  Anyway, if the editor broke the deal, then I suppose they're blockable. I won't be the one to do it, since I'm also babysitting this morning, plus, I don't feel like blocking anyone right now. (And I haven't looked at the diffs--but if Bbb says "it's edit warring", then I trust it was.) Can you hold on/off/out until Yngvadottir has seen this? I appreciate that. Drmies (talk) 15:54, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

• You don't feel like blocking anyone? Are you ill? I can't speak for other admins, but I can certainly wait.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:59, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

^{(edit conflict) Point(s) taken, Drmies. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 16:03, 1 February 2015 (UTC)}

There's no reason to wait: the editor was unblocked on a 0RR restriction and has clearly violated it. That he could not be trusted to follow any restriction was obvious at the time that the arrangement was made. It was also unfortunately clear at the time that the administrators that were entering into the agreement were unenthusiastic about actually enforcing it. I've reinstated the block on the IP, and suggest that, as a project, we recognize that whatever we might think about the motives behind unblocking the IP in the first place, it's an experiment that failed.—Kww(talk) 16:13, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Kww, I agree with your first sentence. What follows is unnecessary. Drmies (talk) 17:08, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Just got home from work ... and I'm afraid he/she is indeed in violation of the agreement. Bbb23 has shown at least 3 reverts above (I'm not sure about the first diff), and zero reverts was indeed the condition for unblocking him/her, as cited by OccultZone. I see the editor's point, but he/she had options other than reverting. Damn. I was just wondering where this person had got to. Yngvadottir (talk) 16:28, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Yngvadottir, the first edit counts as a revert because it's removing text from the article, which is undoing another editor or editors' work. But I'm more interested in your comment that you see the IP's point. I'd sincerely like to be illuminated on that.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:34, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

the first edit counts as a revert because it's removing text from the article ... So the IP would be in breach of 0RR for removing any piece of text? Alakzi (talk) 16:44, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

It would depend on the circumstances. 0RR is a difficult restriction, and in this instance, had I known/remembered about this IP's restriction, I would not have blocked them for the first edit.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:50, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

It should be noted that Bbb23's belief that every removal of text is a reversion isn't widely embraced. Most reject it on the basis that, while it's hard to disprove with pure logic, it's an example of pure logic leading to an absurd result.—Kww(talk) 17:02, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Far be it from me to state that I disagree with Bbb. Drmies (talk) 17:08, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

(edit conflict) I disagree that it leads to an "absurd result", but this has been rehashed too many times for me to explain in detail why.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:09, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

(ping didn't work) @Bbb23: As I understand it, the IP's point is that we are to minimize our use of quotations, since for works that are not copyright-free they are in effect a form of fair use. In this instance the passage can be reworded with little or no quotation, so it should be. This is distinct from the requirement to clearly indicate the source, which obtains for both paraphrase and quotation. (Copyright experts, how did I do?) Yngvadottir (talk) 19:05, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

@Yngvadottir: Thanks. First, the IP didn't just say this would be better reworded. He claimed keeping it was a copyright violation, which is simply not true. Second, this quote and many other quotes would go out the window if one followed the IP's logic. Third, sometimes it's more eloquent to quote the source than it is to reword it. Did this ping work? If the first one didn't, you should report it at here.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:19, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

That one worked :-) Again, I'm a doctor not a copyright lawyer, but I believe that would be the fair use requirement that if we don't have to quote, we don't (which was the intended force of my "should"). The major limiting factor is whether an editor can think of a way to paraphrase or summarize with minimal quotation; that editor is extremely good at rewording, and so can undoubtedly see options where many others don't (I'm not sure he/she fully realizes that others likely just didn't see how to reword it). In this instance, an added factor is that it's in the lede: unless a quote is iconic, I can't see much justification for quotes in the lede. Yngvadottir (talk) 19:28, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Fair use is a mushy concept in the law and there's a lot of discretion by courts as to when something qualifies and when it doesn't. Nor are the decisions necessarily consistent. However, if it's fair use, it's not infringement. So, there's no "fair use requirement" per se. Additionally, copyight violations are predicated on substantial similarity, not necessarily verbatim copying, so you can reword it and still infringe. In this instance, I have trouble imagining a court finding that the quotes infringed. I do take your point about the lead, though. As for the rewording itself, the IP might have been able to accomplish their objective if they had approached the whole thing in a more cooperative fashion. Apparently, that's not one of their skills.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:56, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Comments:

This user aergas, who was just banned for edit warring, has returned yet again to engage in another edit war. This is part of a long-lasting edit war in which he was banned before. However, immediately following his ban-lift he has returned to engage in an edit war, yet again. This dispute in question is for a long-settled matter from a DRN [134]. The conclusion was to specifically allow the line of '7/8ths european descent' in question, yet he has decided to engage in an edit war to remove it as part of his continuous edit warring. Alon12 (talk) 19:13, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

The filing party is forum shopping, having also filed at WP:NORN. The filing party states that the conclusion at WP:DRN was to allow the line of "7/8 European descent". That is the old Spanish definition. The dispute resolution was inconclusive because, as volunteer mediator, I was unable to get the parties to make specific suggestions for improvement of the article. The reported editor has not violated 3RR since coming off block. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:27, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

The issue I filed at WP:NORN is a separate issue, regarding a separate line in the article, which has nothing to do with what I posted here. With regards to the Spanish definition, the other party originally agreed to include it, and only decided to remove it recently. You can see his history of edit warring. So, if I add it back, since he removed it, the next thing that will happen, is that he will remove it again, and we will be back here again, so what changes? Talk page discussion has been completely unproductive with this member. But, what basis would there be to remove sourced data if I were to add it back? The line was originally proposed to be in the lede. The other user, aergas, has proven to lack credibility on many fronts, and has even been suggested of not meeting WP:CIR requirements as Robert even suggested of him. Alon12 (talk) 20:36, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

As the editor Robert McClenon stated above, Alon12 is forum shopping, he was blocked for two weeks for doing exactly this thing, he even managed to drag me on that chaos despite that I'm the only party that has been inclusive of other people's suggestion here and has been opened to discuss the issues, Alon12 comes and opens a case here and in another noticeboard after he was directly told to drop this issue [135]. Another thing to note here is that Alon12 seems to be a single purpose account, thing that was pointed by an administrator (EdJohnston) before [136]. Additionaly, despite being created only one month ago he has edit and argumentative skills that require years to develop, aswell as a specialized handling of sources and a full knowledge of Wikipedia's noticeboards (his eight edit ever was a DNR case [137] and his fourtenth edit was a request for page protection [138]). In his time on Wikipedia he has only edited one article, 12 times, 9 of which were reverts. Aergas (talk) 22:09, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

This edit war in particular is for another on-going dispute which started earlier as you can see in the diffs, and is unrelated to the last 3rr ban, which was reported on other content between aergas edit warring against a third party user. Aergas seems to just like starting edit warring for his own entertainment, as that edit for the line in question, wasn't disputed by him in all the discussions since the DRN, and he did not even remove it in intermediate edit wars, he has only started to remove that sourced data now. My separate discussion with Robert, was for the lack of credibility of Aergas over his WP:CIR violations, as documented here: [139], Robert was talking about another issue over aergas' credibility, which even he has claimed to be questionable. Alon12 (talk) 23:01, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

The WP:DRN thread did not result in consensus. It isn't possible edit against a non-existent consensus. It didn't result in consensus because the editors didn't propose specific changes in wording to improve the article. They mostly complained about each other. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:45, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Only one of the diffs listed in this report is recent. The rest are very stale. I suggest that this thread be closed as stale, but that both parties be warned about battlegrounds and bad blood. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:45, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

The user was warned on his usertalk page by Gloss less than 24 hours ago that edit-warring can lead to a block even if the bright-line rule of three reverts isn't crossed. LLArrow almost immediately removed the warning. Recently, this user has come right up to the 3RR line on several articles, including Katana (comics) and American Horror Story: Freak Show (see Diffs above). As well, the user is a bit aggressive when his edits are questioned, characterizing opposing edits as "vandalism" and "reckless".

I am not sure a block is appropriate here, but LLArrow is clearly either unaware how his aggressiveness is being perceived, or simply doesn't care. He's fairly new and doesn't have a lot of edits under his/her belt. I think they mean well, despite the occasional ass-hattery, and might be best served by some advice from an uninvolved party. The user's behavior is pretty disruptive to the idea of collaborative editing, and I am certainly not the only person who has noticed this.

Like I said, I think counseling is going to be of more use than a block. The user needs to understand that (s)he isn't helping collaborative editing with his behavior or reverts. I've just met the user, and they've used up my AGF with their toolish behavior. LLArrow needs someone to help them be more civil and less OWN-y. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 04:37, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

User:LLArrow notified. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 04:40, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

His history of edit warring is pretty extensive, given his short time on Wikipedia. Also on American Horror Story: Freak Show:

• ([150], [151])
• ([152], [153], [154], [155], [156])
• ([157], [158], [159])
• ([160], [161], [162], [163], [164], [165])

- as you see, LLArrow has a VERY hard time accepting when his way is reverted. And although he'll often write on the talk page, he'll continue reverting the edits that go against his version in the mean time, very often against multiple editors with an opposite opinion from his. Gloss 04:57, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Administrator(s), I realize some of my actions do not reflect that of a competent contributor to Wikipedia, and though I do have worthy explanations for each of them, I will not waist your time. For what it's worth, I tremendously enjoy being an editor on this encyclopedia, and will strive to perfect my means and interactions with other peers. Thank you and cheers, LLArrow (talk) 20:38, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

• Result: No action. User:LLArrow has not reverted again on any of the listed articles since 05:00 on 1 February. Also he has made a conciliatory statement above. Let's hope this means he'll wait for consensus on these articles. But if any of these wars resumes, an admin might consider a block without further notice.

The problem is that the participant perceives the article as a kind of place "fight for justice", where you can edit in any way to remove if it is in his version of a lie, or make as a fact, if it believes it Mistery Spectre (talk) 06:14, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

I was restoring content you were blanking (re: disruptive editing on your part). Also, my edits are like...3 in 4 days? Hardly worth an edit warring report. Calling out "ill concealed conflict of interest" is pure bad faith on your part. --LeVivsky (ಠ_ಠ) 16:53, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

I understand you correctly, by some rules I am not allowed for any reason to remove your text, while you can without any arguments to delete my? Even if it is only the opinion of one of the parties and have already indicated within the text? Original. And now you suddenly disappeared, but there was a friend of yours, well, just open that provokes me to kickbacks, yes. Judging by the lack of arguments in fact, as I understand it, you have nothing to say? P.S Something I did not see in my text, charged with violating the rules of the three edit cancellation, only your edits war under false pretenses, yes. Mistery Spectre (talk) 20:52, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

In general, someone adding material bears the burden of providing citation of reliable sources. Just because something has a good source does not necessarily mean it belongs in an encyclopedia, but someone wishing to remove well-sourced material has the burden of explaining why (with reference to some policy, guideline, or logic, not WP:IDONTLIKEIT). If reliable sources disagree on the facts, an effort should be made to describe various viewpoints and who they are accepted by.

The area of your dispute is under discretionary sanctions, so if someone seems to not be here for the purpose of building a better encyclopedia, you can seek a remedy at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement but beware of WP:BOOMERANG. Rhoark (talk) 21:41, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

This is the problem that the user can not understand why the opinion of one of the parties can not serve as a fact. I'm not even talking about trying to save his text for the text itself. Mistery Spectre (talk) 16:08, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

You seem to have good-faith difficulties understanding Wikipedia policy. I suggest you redirect your efforts to wiki projects in your native language. Rhoark (talk) 06:31, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

• Result: No action. I suspect a malformed report because the complaint says it's about User:Mistery Spectre but the diffs are of edits by User:Lvivske. In any case there aren't enough reverts to break WP:3RR. Some of Mistery Spectre's edits do seem to be removing references, and that normally calls for an explanation.

• Note. As one can see from the diffs but is glaringly obvious when one looks at the complete history, Jmorrison230582 has also clearly breached 3RR under the (mistaken) impression that their reverts were exempt under WP:BLP.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:39, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

• I would personally consider anything sourced to the Daily Mail/Mirror/Sun to be a BLP violation, but then again, my opinions on those newspapers are pretty low. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 22:49, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

I strongly dispute your assertion that I "clearly breached 3RR". WP:3RR says "Removal of libelous, biased, unsourced, or poorly sourced contentious material that violates the policy on biographies of living persons (BLP)." The material was clearly biased and poorly sourced (if it was sourced at all). I warned the other user that it was breaching 3RR. When it was clear it would not back down I asked for a second opinion. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 06:50, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

• Result: Stale. But it seems to me that both parties may be risking a block if this continues. I don't see a justification for the reverts by User:Jmorrison230582 under WP:BLP. Perhaps they would consider getting opinions at WP:BLPN. User:Bbb23 has already expressed doubt that Jmorrison's reverts can be justified by a BLP argument. It is not defamatory for an article to say that a controversy exists if sources are provided, assuming that tabloids are not the only source. EdJohnston (talk) 21:42, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [179]

I attempted to resolve this issue on the article talk page and the editor's talk page but was met with hard opposition and refusal to discuss the issue. Disagreement has quickly become apparent, the editor refuses to work collaboratively, and does not move on to appropriate dispute resolution. Therefore, I have started this discussion.

Comments:
I believe the information in question about the broadcast of the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl in conflict with this match is worth mention. It had received coverage in third party sources. While I agree it is not a major part of this topic, it should be mentioned. It has been placed in the past at the bottom of the article. We could make an article about the "broadcast" or maybe the "controversy" but I think that would dilute the information and not concentrate it.

I have not restored the section that was blanked at this time--no need to respond with throwing fuel on the fire. Whatever the outcome, the removal of the information, refusal to discuss it, and the editors threat of edit warring are uncalled for. --Paul McDonald (talk) 19:13, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Funny thing is that I don't see any edit warring at all. There two reverts: one was completely normal as other editors (registered or IPs) also reverted it based on relevance to the article. The second was that you reverted mine and I went to the talk page of the article to show me opinion. I also replied to your message in my talk page. I see no threats at all in this situation. All I see is a user that has no updates whatsoever related to mixed martial arts articles that decided to add one info that has no place at all in such article. While I understand the good faith at the beginning, Paul McDonald found opposition on the article's talk page and still decided that his opinion was the consensus. I was another user that stated I'm against this update and I'm sure others that didn't see will feel the same. It shows me that you're making a big deal of something that is completely uncalled for. There's no edit war at all and if you reverted my second edit, I would just gather all the people that seem to be necessary for you to understand that people related to the MMA articles also disagree with that content. It honestly has no sense at all to be added in that article. And if other editors do see it, I'm certain they'll agree with the editors (including me) that felt it was a non-sense edit for the article. I'm open to discussion there as you can see on the article's talk page. Instead of taking a moment to see there was a majority of editors against his edit, he decided that we were approaching a 3RR situation - something incorrect. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 02:09, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

It was User:Technical 13 that closed the discussion as "not done" on the talk page. I don't see any other discussion. That I haven't edited a lot of MMA articles has no bearing on this discussion.--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:41, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

I'm not questioning semi-protection whatsoever that was requested. I'm questioning a majority (at that moment and with another user now) saying that they do not agree with your update based on the relevance of that fact to the event. How many situations of a establishment supposed to show one thing and then showing other should be added to wikipedia? You had a good faith edit at first, but many people had the same questioning to it. That's why I said that we should spare time and realize that. If you reverted it once again (I wouldn't find it an edit warring as I would do what I said - "It will happen": I'd gather the people (like I had to now) to also voice their opinion. It's a group of editors I've seen frequently in mixed martial arts articles with a good possibility of giving a fair opinion to the situation. I do believe they'll agree (probably all of them) with what other editors said (including myself) and tell you that there's no relevance to the info added and the event's article. I wouldn't revert you as it would be 3RR violation and I would have to do what I'm doing now.

With that being said, I do not believe there was an edit warring (neither yours or mine). You wanted to prevent it, I give you props for that. It wasn't going to happen, but ended up as I said it could end and as you probably wanted to: a newer discussion. I say leave it as it is as let's wait for the other editors opinion on the matter. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 03:59, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Hopefully my last comment: I requested that the editor discuss the issue on your talk page at User talk:Gsfelipe94#Blanking sections. The response was to revert without discussion and then... well, the reviewers can read the details there. Less than 10 days ago, the editor had a 24-hour block and was given the advice to first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. Because it is so recent, I think it bears consideration again that this editor does not take these measures.--Paul McDonald (talk) 04:38, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

And the block was reverted right away as the administrator didn't check the entirety of the situation. I was blocked for a moment because I did break the 3RR rule. Wasn't my intention as I was constantly reminding the other user that we had a consensus about that situation. I don't see how that can relate to this, specially if you do check the entire situation instead of just seeing I was blocked and unblocked right after it. If you check my contributions page, you'll see from that day on how I have acted in other situations. You rushed a edit warring discussion here presuming I would do it. The discussion is on, yet you accuse me of canvassing - once again I bring here this word: funny. One of the editors I pinged to the discussion was the one involved in the situation one week ago. 1- You asked me to create a discussion on the talk page: I did it. I manifested my opinion there and there were already 3 opinions similar to mine while your remained alone till that moment. 2- Your denial of those opinions and removals gave me the impression of you wanting to defend your update at all costs until the end. Just like you said you have the impression I'm canvassing, this was my impression. 3- More info on the talk page. Please spare our time, I don't want to get more editors just to make it clear and obvious for you. It will happen. -> Here I confirm you that I gave my opinion there (as you asked me to) and then asked you to avoid a longer discussion (like this one actually) as you already had 4 users disagreeing with your update, while you were the only one defending it. If you didn't do that and reverted it again (or a situation like this happened - something I honestly didn't predict), I would get the editors to opine and I believed they would agree with the 4 people who already voiced their thoughts. Once again, this has nothing to do with a semi protection request by an IP user. I've said it on the article's talk page. We should focus on the situation: 3 editors against you in the past. I came up, found that out and I also disagreed with the update. Despite the 4x1 situation, you still thought there was room for the update. I just pinged some editors that are known to contribute to MMA articles (I asked you to bring people too) and let's see how it goes. If in the end there's a majority vote to keep your update, I would respect that. There's nothing complicated about that. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 04:56, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

• Result: No action. Several editors at Talk:UFC 168 agree with removing the paragraph in question from the article. If anyone is not convinced of this, they can open a formal WP:RFC to gather opinions. But the material (about televising of football versus MMA in Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants) does appear too trivial to include. Not everything that can be sourced belongs in an article.

@Gloss: I actually did comment there and filed a WP:DRN. Look carefully. 108.6.38.122 (talk) 18:31, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

You filed that DRN? That was filed by a different IP address than yours. [188] - so you're admitting to having used two different addresses first of all. And secondly, you commented after making your fourth revert… after receiving an edit warring notice. The comment after the final revert doesn't make the final revert okay. Gloss 19:25, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

There haven't been three reverts in 24 hours. The reverts have been in a longer period, so that the edit-warring doesn't cross the bright line. Also, since IP addresses change, the use of multiple IP addresses is not considered sock-puppetry. However, I do advise the IP to register an account, because the article is likely to be semi-protected. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:51, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

This is the edit warring noticeboard, no? Not the 3RR noticeboard, specifically? 24 hour time period or not, the IP was reverting to get their way throughout the discussion and after 3 reverts over Feb 2/3, a warning was given and an additional revert took place. If a block isn't issued for something like this, I don't see what this noticeboard is for. Gloss 03:11, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Comments: The week before, Grinbriar made an attempt to revise the plot summary in the Streetcar article. I liked the idea of someone coming in to improve it but reverted it, due to the presence of several grammatical errors, unnecessary detail, and what I felt was just not good writing. We had a brief discussion in the linked article dicsussion page and my own talk page, but it didn't lead to anything. After about half a week he resumed making the same edits with the same errors and stopped responding to talk page messages altogether. I even tried to explain myself on his own talk page, but seeing how he hasn't even commented on any talk page for over a week it's clear that I'm being ignored. He did stop for a few days, so I had assumed he had just given up, but he went back to making the same edits (with the same vague explanations like adding "key details" or describing "what the play is actually about") just last night. I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to do at this point. TheStickMan^[✆Talk] 16:09, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Blatant edit warfare, with reverts carefully spaced out to avoid violating the letter of WP:3RR. Repeated insertions of content – unsupported or insufficiently supported by sources – on a BLP.

• Result: Article semiprotected two months. Three different IPs, all from Norway, have made similar edits to the article. Edit warring by an IP-hopper violates WP:SOCK. The IPs assert continuity between some rebellious activity in present-day southern Ukraine and an anarchist experiment called the Free Territory that existed between 1918 and 1921. It is unclear if there are any reliable sources to support the thesis promoted by this IP-hopping editor. EdJohnston (talk) 00:33, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

I confirm the two IPs are same editor, changed due to power-outages - i.e. no "IP-hopping" or other deliberate change, and would've preferred the IP to remain the same. Don't get distracted by arcane WP-rules abused or claimed, but stay with the issue and facts, pls: The people in the region consider themselves heirs to Makhno's "Free territory". 85.164.61.86 (talk) 05:55, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Won't give a WP:RS for his info. And infringed the WP:3RR rule... JustPlaneEditing (talk) 13:00, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, and both stations are officially named Harlem -148th Street and Times Square - 42nd Street, though. JoesphBarbaro (talk) 13:04, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

As I told you a few minutes ago, I hope you were happy that I made those edits so that way, you'll finally shut the hell up. You're talking about me but look at you...Who's the pot calling the kettle black now? JoesphBarbaro (talk) 13:08, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Nope, this matter is still ongoing. And no one gets your reference JustPlaneEditing (talk) 13:11, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

I count six reverts by JPE on the 7th alone. Do you have boomerangs where you live per chance? Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 13:25, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Note to the Admin, JPE tried to remove my comment, for no reason. Looking at the sources, it appears that JoesphBarbaro is indeed correct in his edits. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 13:30, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Lugnuts. JoesphBarbaro (talk) 13:33, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Wow Lugnuts, why must you follow me. And By the way, look at the personal attacks [203] JustPlaneEditing (talk) 13:42, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Dude, you're gonna get blocked too, because of your constant trash-talking towards me. Those are also considered personal attacks as well. Again, pot calling the kettle black? JoesphBarbaro (talk) 13:53, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

So by saying that I'm going to get blocked too it means you're already resigned to the fact your getting blocked? Ouch JustPlaneEditing (talk) 13:56, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Pity. Looks like I'm seeing through your age already. This kid is so annoying since I met him. He really needs to drop it. This whole "issue" is worth nothing and won't get us anywhere. First, the constant trash-talking, then hypocrisy, and now he's sending me more annoying messages. Seriously kid, hop off my back and get on with your life. JoesphBarbaro (talk) 14:08, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

• Nominating editor blocked – for a period of 72 hours. The diff supplied of a supposed edit warring/3RR warning wasn't that, but a different kind of warning. JoesphBarbaro hasn't been warned about edit warring as far as I can see. Joesph, consider yourself warned now. If you edit war again, you will be blocked. Note that neither editor has behaved very well. There is not a single solitary word from them on article talk; instead they have been angry and aggressive on each other's pages. That's not acceptable from either of you. However. I have blocked JustPlaneEditing for edit warring (which they know all about and have been blocked for previously) as well as for this unacceptable removal of another's comment on this very noticeboard. Considering all that together, the block is for 72 hours. (I'm choosing not to block Joesph at this time, partly in consideration of their clean block log, but if another admin elects to block them for personal attacks and stubbornness, I won't object.)

Slow moving edit war so avoiding 3RR but at 8 reverts between them already too much.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 18:50, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

• Edit summary here covers it: Maintain noun phrase descriptions, which is the point of repeating "song". No problem with WP:MOSDAB, so take it up on talk per WP:BRD. Which Bkonrad has failed to do. -- JHunterJ (talk) 15:29, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

If nothing else, request clarification on encyclopedic content. —ATinySliver/^ATalkPage 02:59, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

_{(Non-admin opinion)} Normal BLP policy is wait for multiple reliable sources before adding controversial or otherwise misleading details. TMZ in my opinion isn't, but let's see what others think. More importantly, while yes its edit warring, it doesn't appear serious or intentional, just trying to keep BLP's clean. EoRdE6^{(Come Talk to Me!)} 03:06, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

• Comment: This is a content dispute over keeping unencyclopedic content out of a sensitive BLP. Sensitive, because the article subject is currently in a medically induced coma and on life-support. The article subject was found face-down in a bathtub. No indication of foul play has been announced by law enforcement, only an announcement of an investigation - and this reported by TMZ (an unreliable source). User:ATinySliver is attempting to add content that talks of an investigation regarding "a possible altercation" prior to the individual was found. It is, from what I can see, trying to tie the two events together by synthesis at worst. At best, the content is unrelated gossip and trivia. It has nothing to do with anything as long it is in the investigation stage. It definitely serves no purpose in helping the reader better understand the article subject and simply doesn't belong in the article until there's more meat to it (if at all). I've already indicated in my last edit summary at the article that the second time I removed the disputed, tabloid-type content was the last time I was reverting it out. I have no intention of continuing to edit there for the time being. The editor opening this report started a discussion at the article talk page, I responded, they abandoned the discussion and are now forum shopping. They went to ANI first (a report that was immediately closed by an uninvolved editor) and now they have come here. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 03:08, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

@EoRdE6: See here ("TMZ ... has received criticism ... but it is increasingly seen as credible by other news agencies")

@Winkelvi: Sensitivity, with no disrespect toward the Brown and Houston families, is irrelevant within an encyclopedia. Regardless of "possible" or confirmed, it is an active police investigation and, therefore, germane. IMO.

—ATinySliver/^ATalkPage 03:15, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

@ATinySliver: And how on earth could you possibly know there is an active police investigation? You don't. Just some TMZ clickbait. EoRdE6^{(Come Talk to Me!)} 03:18, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Clearly, assessments by other editors of a source's reliability mean nothing to you. Meantime, please avoid argumentum ad hominem. —ATinySliver/^ATalkPage 03:22, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

• If TMZ ever becomes a credible journalistic entity, I'll hand over my credentials and leave the profession. Wikipedia isn't the place to find the latest information, but the place to find reliable information that can be verified. If the information from the notoriously unreliable TMZ is backed up by other reliable sources, it can be used - but I don't see that happening right now. Thanks for self reporting but leave it be. seicer | talk | contribs 03:32, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

"TMZ - has received criticism for errors in breaking news and has a reputation for gossip, but it is increasingly seen as credible by other news agencies". I was a long-time print journalist; in my experience, though TMZ does tend toward the sensational, its sources rarely steer them wrong. See also Wikidiscussions here, here and here, to name a few. Meantime, to threaten me with an immediate block does not strike me as conducive to cooperation, which I am attempting herewith to maintain. —ATinySliver/^ATalkPage 04:17, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

@ATinySliver:Would you quit pointing people to that silly essay. There is a reason it's an essay, its the opinion of a single editor and often nothing more. EoRdE6^{(Come Talk to Me!)} 05:30, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
