This page is for reporting active edit warriors and recent violations of restrictions like the three-revert rule.

• See this guide for instructions on creating diffs for this report.
• If you see that a user may be about to violate the three-revert rule, consider warning them by placing {{subst:uw-3rr}} on their user talk page.

You must notify any user you have reported.

You may use {{subst:An3-notice}} ~~~~ to do so.

You can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

Additional notes

• When reporting a user here, your own behavior will also be scrutinized. Be sure you understand WP:REVERT and the definitions below first.
• The format and contents of a 3RR/1RR report are important, use the "Click here to create a new report" button below to have a report template with the necessary fields to work from.
• Possible alternatives to filing here are dispute resolution, or a request for page protection.
• Violations of other restrictions, like WP:1RR violations, may also be brought here. Your report should include two reverts that occurred within a 24-hour period, and a link to where the 1RR restriction was imposed.

1. 12:02, 18 July 2013 (edit summary: "Undid revision 564777137 by AussieLegend (talk)")

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: There are multiple 3RR warnings on the editor's talk page, involving not only Castle but a Doctor Who episode as well.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: No response from either IP on the article talk page; warnings did get a defiant response on the editor's talk page, referred to in an edit summary, he/she was asked to discuss in the appropriate place. --Drmargi (talk) 09:53, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Comments:
Despite the warnings and other comments on the user's talk page, he/she is continuing to edit war. Another IP subsequently edited the article after this report was opened, but was later reverted with the edit summary "Who cares? :3". --AussieLegend (✉) 14:03, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

And yet another revert by this editor just appeared on my watchlist. --AussieLegend (✉) 14:54, 19 July 2013 (UTC) As Drmargi has indicated, attempts to engage the IP have resulted in defiant responses on the editor's talk page. These have now degenerated into puerile responses. --AussieLegend (✉) 15:22, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Khazars#The_New_Edits_Just_Won.27t_Do

Comments:

Tritomex, repeatedly ignoring all forms of prior consensus, went on and added a section that is judged subjective by many, and that goes against many WP guidelines such as POV, UNDUE, FRINGE plus many other offenses regarding the handling of his sources, usage of well-known fallacies and the editorial treatment he practices. Furthermore, his added part is structurally abominable. I am filled with shame at the thought of the people who will visit the "Khazars" page and read such propaganda. It reduces Misplaced Pages's credibility, hence the urgency of my request.

Tritomex has been warned, both on his page and on the article's talk page, and given a 24-h period to rectify his edit himself - nothing has been done, not a iota of edits has been changed. As of this moment, the page is locked with his last edit still on: What I request, is to delete the last litigious part he added, and that the user is to be warned, notably about his visible bias, and lack of good will.

The "talk: Khazars" page speaks eloquently about this case; Please contact me for any additional details. Pardon me for the rather poor submission - I am a newb, learning everyday about WP procedures and synthax. With some time and your indulgence I will get good at this.

Thanks in advance. MVictorP (talk) 11:18, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Edited, a few times, to try and comply to demands. Sorry it looks sloppy still. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MVictorP (talk • contribs) 13:21, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

I was not even informed about this action of MVictorP, as per WP rules and I found this page accidentally.

I had a content dispute with Nishidni on the same page, originating from long time ago and MVictorP took his side. MVictorP created his page on 13 th of July and immediately came to the unfortunately famous (due to numerous sockpuppets) Khazar page reverting huge portion of the text written by another user Galassi.(on the same place and subject that 4 sockpuppets did previously) After Galassi restored his/her edition, MVictorP repeated the same actions against her/him , and again that was the point when I entered the debate however MVictorP did again the same to me. I remanded MVictorP that 4 sockpupets of one user were caught on this page, editing same claims without references, the last one was called historylover4 , previously this sockpuppet and previously this sockppuet . All of them wrote regarding Elhaik genetic analysis where he claimed that modern Ashkenazi jews are descendans of Turkic Khazars. I remanded MVictorP " that for revert/edits he needs references. I also stressed that I do not associate him with sockpuppets, but that he simply can not destroy other people work without references,especially as he is on Misplaced Pages only few days. I explained to him that instead of self published articles he needs academic sources, however he replied with Eklhaik, later calling me "Zio agent" He claimed he will reject my edits "no matter how well sourced they are" and finally I received a 24h ultimatum to make the page as he wish and he will not discuss anything with me I was accused of being "Crusader" etc. We were all warned by administrator for our behavior and I must say that I am sorry for some of my reverts.--Tritomex (talk) 15:02, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Comments:

This user is constantly adding false categories on American Dad and removing content after warning user several times. 拱連鑄機談話 22:44, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

None of these edits were intended to be vandalism. None of these edits were over the top or unreasonable. I made a point of explaining my edits when asked I did, when they were reverted I never received a straight answer on what exactly was wrong. I attempted reaching the user reporting me on his talk page to discuss these changes however the user just deleted the message and resumed deleting my work with out explanation . Grapesoda22 (talk) 22:56, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Why did you add Category:Television series revived after cancellation to the article?--Bbb23 (talk) 22:57, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

It was technically cancelled but was shortly picked up by TBS soon after. . Grapesoda22 (talk) 23:05, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Is that stated and supported in the article?--Bbb23 (talk) 23:10, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

The move to TBS is only mentioned in the opening and infobox without out mentioning it was cancelled. But there are several reliable articles found on Google (including the one I linked) that confirmed it was quietly cancelled and picked up by TBS. Grapesoda22 (talk) 23:54, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Categories should not be added to an article unless there is something in the article that supports the addition of the cat. I believe this is what Archcaster was upset about, although they were overstating it. The two of you should have never gotten to this point. Neither of you discussed the problem(s), and, as far as I can tell, they are fairly trivial. Both of you risk being blocked if you continue to edit-war. And edit summaries are not a substitute for discussion.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:03, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

I did try to talk, I messaged him on his talk page and continued to revert me. Grapesoda22 (talk) 00:26, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

I noticed that, but I still suggest the best place is the article talk page (they can't revert that). If there is no response, at least you tried. At this point, your edit is the last edit to the article. I don't intend to sanction anyone unless the battle continues in the article. If you don't want to try again to discuss the content dispute, that's your prerogative, but it doesn't give you license to revert later if they revert you.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:07, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

What if this keeps up? I don't want to get into a dissuasion for every single edit. These edits alone were very minor. Grapesoda22 (talk) 02:08, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

I don't know what to tell you. Archcaster is now blocked for a few days (see below), so it's unlikely anything will happen soon. You have to handle content disputes on articles in the proper way. If there's a dispute, it needs to be discussed. I'm going to close this now as warned.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:14, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Alright, I'll continue make general changes, mainly mentioning the brief cancellation to justify the category. If things happen again I'll make a point to sort it out besides edit warring. Grapesoda22 (talk) 02:29, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: I contacted Archcaster on his talk page, however, he stands by the fact that he has done nothing wrong. He then blanked his talk page.

Comments: Archcaster has repeatedly chosen to remove cited info about an upcoming season of American Dad!, claiming it is too early. However, since this info is cited it belongs in the article, which I have explained. However, he still continues to claim it is too soon for no reason. He recently warned me for being disruptive, despite the fact that removing cited content is almost as disruptive.

This user has a long history of edit warring, including in this article and including being blocked previously for it, and is well aware that it is not the way Misplaced Pages works. He is quick to accuse others of wrongdoings, particularly if they are challenging his agenda, but never sees his own warring actions as wrong - and seems unable to learn. 212.183.128.233 (talk) 08:51, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
