] (]) Michel Hervé Bertaux-Navoiseau has been condemned in France for defamation against "Association contre la Mutilation des Enfants". He tries to take his revenge in Misplaced Pages. What is the meaning of: "Valla might also have been sentenced"? Purely defamation. Is he a prosecutor?


'''Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:''' ]
] (]) 15:07, 27 August 2014 (UTC) Fist, notice I publish under my real name. Second, I wrote a message in Protot's talk page asking him to stop the war that HE began, systematically destroying my precious additions to the existing article. Third, Protot lies; he is libelling me and I prove it: I have been discharged by the Tribunal correctionnel (criminal court) de Nanterre and by the Court of appeal of Versailles (http://pdfcast.org/pdf/arr-t-de-la-cour-d-appel-de-versailles-du-2-04-2013) from Xavier Valla's (and not the AME) complaint in defamation; it was totally abusive since, in France, freedom of expression entitles anybody to tell what she or he thinks of someone else's political ideas (belonging to the far-right in the matter). Fourth, I have given a link to the copy (from the Bibliothèque nationale) of Valla's revisionist article in Revision n° 4. At last, after Mr Valla's plaintiff, I published quite a few articles denouncing his and the AME's antiJewism (https://independent.academia.edu/MichelHerv%C3%A9BertauxNavoiseau/The-French-far-right-and-its-masked-antiJewism)
but neither he nor the AME ever lodged a complaint in defamation, indeed, they would very obviously loose it from the very start because I would bring all the proofs of my sayings (in Revision, Guionnet boasts about his revisionism and about having been sent to jail several times).
*'''Comment:''' At first sight, the subject of our article, ], appears to be an antisemite and holocaust-denier. An article about him was deleted from the French Misplaced Pages in 2007 at ]. These matters have some legal significance in France. It is unclear if there is enough notability to keep the article here. The guy has some publications and is said to have been jailed a number of times. Somebody would have to look for sources in mainstream French newspapers. For the present dispute full protection might suffice. ] (]) 20:21, 27 August 2014 (UTC)


'''Diff of ANEW notice posted to user's talk page:'''
] (]) Is it an article about Alain Guionnet or Xavier Valla? For information, Valla has never been condemned in France. Michel Hervé Bertaux-Navoiseau did: defamation.
*'''Result:''' Article protected one month. After looking for Alain Guionnet in google.fr it seems to me that an AfD nomination is in order. There is little doubt that Guionnet is a holocaust denier but his name seldom appears in any publications about that movement in France. It's claimed he is the publisher of the denialist magazine Révision but except for a couple of holdings in Worldcat it's hard to tell if that magazine has been recognized anywhere. ] (]) 01:33, 29 August 2014 (UTC)


<u>'''Comments:'''</u> <br />
] (]) 07:17, 29 August 2014 (UTC) It is true that Valla has not been condemned yet but, since his defamation complaint has been rejected (my discharge by both courts), he is guilty of defamatory denounciation, which is repressed by the Code Pénal.
User:GiggaHigga127 insists on adding the ] and ] divisions to Conor Benn's infobox. Our style guide at WikiProject Boxing, ], says to only include weight classes in which a boxer has ''notably'' competed, that being usually for regional/minor/world titles. In Benn's case, that division was ] for almost the entirety of his career, and he did indeed hold a regional title in that division. In 2023 he was given a lengthy ban from the sport, from which he recently returned in a pair of throwaway fights within the light middleweight limit, against non-notable opposition and with no titles at stake. Per the style guide, those throwaway fights are not important enough to warrant the inclusion of light middleweight in the infobox, at least until he begins competing there regularly.


As far as middleweight goes, Benn has ''never competed anywhere close to that weight class''. He has a fight 'scheduled' to take place at middleweight, but until the bell rings to officially commence proceedings, ] and ] should apply, and again it should not be listed in the infobox until then. This same fight was 'scheduled' in 2023, only to be cancelled after Benn failed a drug test—something which happens in boxing all the time. In fact, at the Project we had ] regarding upcoming fights in record tables, so the same should apply in this instance. ] would also be a cop-out, because the whole point of MOS:BOXING was to ensure consistency across boxing articles. ] (]) 18:50, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
Revisionism in France does not have "some" but great criminal significance; it is the reason why Guionnet has been jailed, which he is so proud about. "Revision" having disappeared, the great interest of the article is denouncing Guionnet's and his friends' Association contre la mutilation des enfants. Guionnet just being a raving madman, no French newspaper ever spoke about him. As for Revision, according to my findings in the Bibliothèque nationale, it lasted four years only from 1999. And Guionnet's own site (http://guionnet.wordpress.com/) is the only place where he goes on taunting his revionism, go fast reading it (mind not being intoxicated) if an afd is in view. The only recognition of Revision was made in the Revue d'ethnopsychiatrie by the psychiatrist Michel Erlich, saying that it is "une bande de néo-nazis délirants" (Erlich M. Circoncision, excision et racisme. Nouvelle revue d'ethnopsychiatrie, 1991 (18), p.130.). Please read at least my article: "The Association contre la mutilation des enfants, a masked anti-Semitism" that you'll find at https://independent.academia.edu/MichelHerv%C3%A9BertauxNavoiseau/The-French-far-right-and-its-masked-antiJewism; it may be a self-publication, it is the main one existing about the AME founded by Guionnet and his "Nouvelle droite" friends and the French version got 70 views without any complaint. Attacked from everywhere, I had a small VCA yesterday and may not live very long from now on; please prevent that nasty fascist liar to kill me more with his continous libelling, and suppress his ID (s?) from posting.

:All of the aforementioned articles are episodes of the tv series, ''Game of Thrones''.

Extremely aggressive edit warring. Xpander1 had expanded a redirect to a page with no issue but decided it would be better to just create a page, hence a discussion at ].

:The user has initiated numerous DRNs, RfCs, various RSN and WP:V discussion sections in a ''four-month long'' attempt to sidestep a fairly consistent consensus against an edit she would prefer to have in the article.

She seems to think that the removal of a fansite from articles will prevent RSN from forming an opinion (presumably, one in favor of her).

'''Diffs of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:'''
It may be relevant that I'm not the only one reverting Jack's edits:


The source in question, Westeros.org, is currently filed at the reliable sources noticeboard. The fact that all GA-rated ''Game of Thrones'' articles include their episodes' versions of the disputed text, usually citing Westeros.org as a source, has been brought up there. Precedent isn't the be-all-end-all of content dispute resolution, but it is in our toolbox. Jack should stop trying to hide this precedent from new participants.


<u>'''Comments''': This IP is trying to censor information in that article --] (]) 19:26, 20 January 2025 (UTC)</u>
Claims that I file too many RfCs: I filed ''one''. There have been two RfCs at talk:Oathkeeper. Jack filed the other. As for RSNs, I posted two, far fewer than Jack has. (I don't see bringing up sources for review at RSN to be inherently objectionable so long as the filing is written in a neutral manner.)

== ] reported by ] (Result: Stale) ==
Claims of "failure to accept consensus": The consensus was "more sources are needed." See RfC closer FormerIP's clarification (second paragraph) So I've been bringing in more sources. And ''just to be sure'', I also repeatedly asked other longterm participants, '''"Do you have any reasons other than sourcing for opposing this material?"''' I keep getting "'''No''', just sourcing," and "I also just don't like it but mostly sourcing." Jack's most recent answer is right here: "the reason I have a larger problem with the inclusion of this information is referencing to a reliable secondary source. That's it." It is not against consensus to find sources for material that others believe to be improperly sourced.


'''Page:''' ] <br />
Claims of tendentious editing: Jack has repeatedly ''demanded'', and very rudely, that I find secondary sources. I did. A lot of them. That's not tendentious editing. That's source-finding.

As for the deletion at "You Win or You Die," which Jack claims is because the source "doesn't support" the content, I don't think it's appropriate because of the precedent issue, but I haven't touched it. We can deal with the source, Suvudu, later, but it'll probably be faster to re-insert it with Westeros.org as a source. If I want Jack to wait for the RSN discussion to be complete before deleting, then it's certainly fair to wait before adding. It really should be reverted until the discussion of Westeros.org's suitability as a source is complete, but I'll defer to admin's take on that.

::Ahh yes, the infamous Wall of Text. Clarity notes:
::*I am not sure why Darkfrog24 feels her editing restrictions have expired; I see no expiration date in the conversation with the blocking admin. And even if it had, I am even more unsure why she feels its okay to restart the same sort of contentious behavior that has seen her blocked twice before.
::*My complaint is solely about the edit-warring. I could add a wall of text about Darkfrog24's tendentious behavior, which has served to frustrate not just me but several others, some of whom have left the article in disgust. However, I am going to avoid her brand of drama and stick to the apparent facts: she is under an editing restriction for behavior that she continues to display, and would appear - from her response of blaming everyone but herself for her actions - that no rehabilitation has taken place. Barring outright lies, I am going to not post anything else. I am so very tired of dealing with this user. - ] (]) 21:12, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

::'''Comment:''' My opinion is that ] should be reblocked for a campaign of edit warring which is still going on.

While I see no violation of the 1RR at ] itself, she has continued her campaign on other articles about the same topic, as shown at the head of this report. The last block was for one week and was lifted early per agreement to conditions. At this time I think a longer block is appropriate.

::::As for the allegation that I've been campaigning, several editors involved in this dispute, including Jack, suggested that the way GA articles handle this material should be considered. It was brought up at RSN. I feel that Jack's removal of these precedents from the GA articles ''at this time'' could mislead the participants there. He self-reverted most of these edits and conceded to wait for a resolution.
::::As for the allegation that I am "strongly resistant to advice," please note the following. In addition to Calanecc's suggestion: 1) TAnthony suggests that we consult GA articles for precedent. I do the legwork and report back. 2) Doniago suggests that we go to an RSN. I support the proposal and suggest that we all agree on a filing text ahead of time and then stay hands off. 3) While Doniago and I are working one out, Jack jumps the line and posts a filing that he knows is biased ''to the point where I initially thought he was kidding'' .

You felt so strongly about it that you spent months arguing that a music student from Brazil who posted a blog review was a reliable source.
:::::No one is undermining you, Darkfrog, because you have not 'mined' anything of substance by way of reliable, usable secondary sources.

::::::I think you might have misunderstood me, Jack, so I'll be clearer: I feel that you undermined the dispute resolution process in this way. The plan I'd proposed was that we 1) work out a consensus text; 2) post ''that'' on the RSN; 3) sit back and wait for other people to do the rest of the work. I feel that plan could have ended this conflict and that you undermined it by posting content that you know I thought was biased. I feel that you should have changed the header when I asked you to even if you didn't think it was biased, remembering that I did almost the exact same thing for you once . I didn't agree with your concerns, but I acted on them anyway because if the resolution is going to work, everyone has to think it is fair. When you cover up precedents, insist on using biased headers and post rants in the thread to scare off new participants, then you're pushing things in your favor. ] (]) 22:08, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Hello
* Darkfrog was edit-warring - yes, indeed, two reverts per page, but spread out over at least six articles, equalling a dozen everts. While 3RR is the standard, Darkfrog24 is clearly gaming the system, having been blocked twice in two months ''for the same article.'' After the second blocking, Caallanec thought she might be rehabilitated by being placed on 1RR. This clearly did not have the desired effect; Darkfrog24 was exceptionally careful to get a specific date from Callanec when that editing restriction ended.
the user Kelvintjy has been engaged in another war last summer and was banned from the ] page. He's been pursuing an edit war on the ] page too without daring give explanations on the talk page though he was invited to do it many times. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 19:58, 20 January 2025 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:This editing restriction was imposed after noting that Darkfrog had (and has) been continually fighting consensus for ''almost four months''. In the same article. Over the same sentence that she seems terribly desperate to have added to that article. She doesn't accept consensus, which has chased away editors. This complaint highlights that problem.<br>
*{{AN3|s}} ] (]) 20:03, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
:This gaming of the system is unacceptable. Granted, I (and several others) have a history with the user, and it isn't a happy, 'holding-hands-in-the-rain' sort of history. Please take note that Darkfrog24 is happy to blame everyone/anyone for her having violated 3RR - that's a warning sign of a deeper issue than being unable to count reverts.

* 1) In all cases, I took the matter to the talk page after two reverts. Some of these talk page discussions produced results. 2) No I was not under any editing restrictions whatsoever at the time nor in violation of any previous arrangement, details above. 3) Jack's edits to these articles were inappropriate for reasons detailed above. He self-reverted some of them but not all of them. ] (]) 00:27, 29 August 2014 (UTC) I don't understand the user always keep targeting me. I am more of a silence contributor.

::'''Result:''' Both ] and ] are '''warned''' for edit warring. The next time either party adds or removes material sourced to westeros.org from any of the Game of Thrones articles (or A Song of Ice and Fire articles) they are risking a block, unless a talk page consensus has previously been obtained on that specific article.

Make sure that the discussion has wound down before asking for closure. ] (]) 15:17, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
:::That sounds acceptable to me, though I'd like if if you left Jack explicit permission to revert his deletions.

: Based on the comment in response to the notification for this discussion, {{tq|"I've been brought to ANI many times in the past. Never been punished for it"}}, I was quite surprised to see that the editor didn't acquire an understanding of 3RR when in 2020. That's sometime ago granted, but additionally a lack of awareness of CTOP, when there is an edit notice at Musk's page regarding BLP policy, is highly suggestive of ]. This in addition to the 3RR warning that was ignored, followed by continuing to revert other editors, and eventually arguing that it must be because I am wrong. If there is an essay based on "Everyone else must be wrong because I'm always right" I'd very much like to read it. As for this report, I primarily wanted to nip the edit war in the bud which appears to have worked for now, given the talk page warning failed to achieve anything.

People have dragged me to this place several times in the past over the years and I've always found it reasonably fair against people who are emotionally involved against dragging me down. That is why I said what I did. And as to the previous warning that you claim was me "not getting it", that was 3 reverts of the same material, and with a name 3RR the association is automatic. Edit: And I'll additionally add, I'm most certainly interested in building an accurate encyclopedia. Misplaced Pages at some point in the past lost its mind and has determined that truth seeking is not the ultimate goal, but simply regurgitating sources. I'm still very happy to use sources that exist and they should be used whenever possible, but in this modern day and age of heavily politicized and biased media, editors more than ever need to have wide open eyes and use rational thinking. ] (]) 09:16, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

On Aridaia, the user began removing the name of the town in Macedonian and removed a referenced statement about a church in the town. A total of four reverts were made by the user. Then, I started a talkpage discussion which the user never joined. Next, the user added a claim about the church's priest (the reference for it doesn't seem to work). I found this, if properly referenced, to be more appropriate for the priest's article than the town's article.

Editor has been warned several times at the article talk page about not changing the content per discussion and consensus. There is an edit warning/direction imbedded at the info box which the editor has ignored at least twice. His behavior at the article talk page and at editor talk pages has been disruptive. He was also given a NPA warning a week ago for personal attacks at the same article talk page. I will be surprised if the most recent revert from him will be the last for this particular bit of content at the Robin Williams article.

::::You are still responsible for your mistakes just as everyone else is. You are being just as disruptive as the other editor (which isn't saying much because there's nothing terribly disruptive going on), but it's disingenuous for you to call for the block of an editor when your actions match theirs, even more so when you add the misuse of a user right to it. To my understanding, using twinkle in such a way would add (TW) to the end, but it's still terribly inapproriate; no edit summary and marking the edit as minor when it is anything but that is inappropriate. If you feel that your use of rollback was appropriate there that's a pretty clear sign that you need to have rollback rights removed until you learn when you can and cannot use rollback. Using rollback to edit-war is ''never'' appropriate, even if you think consensus has been reached (which I don't see in that discussion at all). - ] (]) 04:05, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

*{{AN3|n}}. I'm going to comment and then I don't want anyone to post anything more. First, {{U|Winkelvi}}, you're confused about preventative blocks. The way you're using the word, what you really mean is preemptive, meaning you think there's going to be disruption so you want a block before it happens. We don't do that. A normal preventative block is when there's already been sanctionable disruption, and you block to prevent further disruption. Here, there was no sanctionable disruption. One revert in 24 hours (you listed two but they were more than 24 hours apart) is hardly edit warring. Second, in one of your reverts of the other user, you did it with an explanation. To me, that's not a rollback. In the later one, you reverted without an explanation. That ''is'' a rollback as far as I'm concerned. We're done here.--] (]) 04:57, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

As a general rule, do not remove sourced information from the encyclopedia solely on the grounds that it seems biased. Instead, try to rewrite the passage or section to achieve a more neutral tone. Biased information can usually be balanced with material cited to other sources to produce a more neutral perspective, so such problems should be fixed when possible through the normal editing process. Remove material only where you have a good reason to believe it misinforms or misleads readers in ways that cannot be addressed by rewriting the passage.

'''User being reported:''' {{userlinks|Joefromrandb}}


I originally posted this at ANI, but was informed that that was not the best venue, as Joe's behaviour was uncivil rather than a personal attack. However, the edit warring issue is clear.

I edited the page ] () with the edit summaries 'tidy per ]' and '+1'. It was a very small tidy, the kind that I make a dozen of a day without issues, and following the guidelines for disambiguation pages. Joefromrnb then made the following edit undoing mine, with an edit summary (): ''don't red-link personal names (unless, of course, you're a member of the disambiguation cabal, in which case all rules, up to and including BLP, cease to apply); the level of arrogance is simply staggering.'' The blp he referred to was actually a long-dead MP. He then undid another part of my edit () with the edit summary ''that's quite a misleading redirect'' and then another part of it with the edit summary '']'' (). I then thought that if I linked in my edit summaries directly to the policies I was following, Joe would understand, so made this edit with the edit summary ''Please see MOS:DABPRIMARY; as this isn't an article, the guidelines are different'', this with ''Please see ]'' and then this after I had read the comment about how ''the level of arrogance is staggering'' () with edit summary: ''Instead of leaving rude edit summaries, please read ] and ]''. This was Joe's response, undoing all my edits with the edit summary ''don't red-link personal names, don't red-link personal names, don't red-link personal names, don't red-link personal names, don't red-link personal names, don't red-link personal names, don't red-link personal names, don't red-link personal names, don't r'' . I was quite upset and looked at Joe's talk page to see if I should continue a discussion, but ] showed lots of messages about his previous edit warring. I decided to completely leave the page and leave a message at ] for a third person to look it over. Unfortunately the discussion did not go well: . ] saw the message and restored the deleted entry: with edit summary: ''legitimate redlink per " there clearly should be a corresponding article AND there is an existing article to link to (e.g., a blue link) elsewhere on the page". BLP does NOT apply as long dead''. Joe deleted it with an edit summary: ''(forum-shopping to the walled garden of a Wikiproject does not in any way override site-wide consensus; rv meatpuppetry)''. Joe was determined to remove the MP's link, but DuncanHill created ], edit summaries such as ) aren't helpful.

The edit warring continued onto ], where George Waters (MP) was listed , going beyond ].

It also went onto ], where Joe had seen that I had added a 'sections' and 'morecat' tag. See the page's edit history: . I didn't get involved or respond, but DuncanHill reverted when Joe persistently removed my tags. In Joe's edit summaries, he described my edits as 'trolling' and wrote 'But it doesn't need the same fucking tag twice'.

It doesn't look good for WP when editors behave like this. Personally, I found it really upsetting. ] (]) 13:24, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

*{{AN3|n}}. I don't know what to do with this. In my view, this should have remained at ANI. I don't see sufficient discussion there for Boleyn to believe it should have been transferred here. Of course, at this point, the edit warring is stale, another reason for not bringing it here. I nonetheless came close to blocking Joe for his disruptive edits and particularly for the personal attacks - no, not just incivility, which does not include calling other editors trolls and meat puppets (what is your basis for using those labels, Joe?). Then, I got bogged down in how long the block should be. If you look at the history and the last time he was brought to ANI in December 2013, this is a continuation of the same behavior, so by all rights, he should be blocked for longer than a month. Such a long block for such a good editor gave me real pause, so I'm punting this whole thing back at any other administrator who wants to handle it. It's a shame that such a solid and honest editor can't control his mouth (fingers?), but there are other examples of this, and I was reluctant to sanction him for such a long time. Nor did a warning make any sense as god knows he's had enough of them; another one would be really abdicating my responsibility as an administrator, as opposed to just sort of abdicating it.--] (]) 15:21, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
:* Bbb23 is entirely correct in that Boleyn <s>received bad advice</s> ''misunderstood a statement on WT:AN as advice'' to bring it here, and Bbb23 is somewhat correct in that unilateral civility blocks by an admin on a non-troll / vandal are often controversial / more disruptive than the behavior they're addressing. (I'm saying "somewhat" here because being hesitant to block is not "abdication," it's prudence and good judgement. I certainly don't see any harm in yet another warning). I've requested Joe retract their personal attacks and am awaiting reply. Given the prior ] was non-admin inactivity closed with no obvious conclusion -- the next steps would either be ] or arbcom. (I don't have enough of a read on Arbcom 2014 to know if they'd consider sufficient dispute resolution as having taken place to accept a case.) <small>]</small> 15:34, 31 August 2014 (UTC) ''corrected'' <small>]</small> 16:07, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

* Boleyn actually didn't get ANY advice to bring it here. {{They|Boleyn}} was advised that they having been around long enough, they know the right places to take things. Their ANI talkpage discussion suggests they postulated 3 separate things: edit-warring, incivility, and bullying. The were reminded that AN/3 takes care of edit-warring (didn't need to say ''while it's ongoing''), long-term incivility is the remit of ], and that they had not even provided evidence of ] or bullying behaviour.

*The ANI was archived quickly without any real discussion actually being had. When I queried why, I was advised that this would have been a better venue for this type of behaviour - apologies if I misunderstood that, but it really shouldn't be so hard to find help/advice. Just because an editor (in this case, myself) has been around a long time, doesn't mean he/she always know the exact venue to get help - I try not to get involved in disputes/edit warring, so it's not exactly my area. This is a real problem with Misplaced Pages - behaviour like Joe's upsets editors and damages the community, and it isn't easy to get help/advice in these cases, so incivil (nasty) editors continue to put people off editing Misplaced Pages. ] (]) 16:16, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

This editor has previously not edited for over three years (since 2011) but has since taken a vested interest in this exact topic. This is a content dispute; and I will admit that, but they're already at 5RR and I feel that only a block for edit warring will get them to discuss their changes rather than to continuously revert. Thanks. ] (]) 13:58, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

*{{AN3|c}} When I saw the last revert this morning, I left the user a message stating that he had violated 3RR and inviting him to self-revert. That message got no response; it's been nine hours since the user's last edit. I've reinstated the tag that was deleted from the article. Personally, I'm inclined to wait until the user's next edit to act. If he engages in discussion, we have no problem. If it's a revert, then he's saying by actions that he intends to continue to edit war, and a block to prevent further disruption is warranted. —''']''' (]) 14:07, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

It is true that I have not edited a page since 2011. I don't usually see a need to get involved in WikiPedia. In fact, I'll confess my ignorance in that I don't exactly know how to use it or else I would have reported the user ] from the beginning (something I don't even know how to do). Editing[REDACTED] is somewhat complicated and there is so much "shortcode" that I find myself lost.

However my inexperience or lack of activity or even lack of seniority is irrelevant in the quest for obtaining historical factual information, which is what[REDACTED] is all about. And someone writing and erasing history is not what an Encyclopedia is for. [REDACTED] defines an encyclopaedia as:

''An encyclopedia or encyclopaedia (also spelled encyclopædia, see spelling differences) is a type of reference work or compendium holding a comprehensive summary of information from either all branches of knowledge or a particular branch of knowledge. Encyclopedias are divided into articles or entries, which are usually accessed alphabetically by article name. Encyclopedia entries are longer and more detailed than those in most dictionaries. Generally speaking, unlike dictionary entries, which focus on linguistic information about words, encyclopedia articles focus on factual information to cover the thing or concept for which the article name stands.''

The argue made by ] is that when ''X'' site goes down its not historical enough to warrant an entry and on the face value principle he would be right, except for the fact that we're not talking about a single website or even a small provider. When a large provider essentially becomes part of the backbone of the internet and its network outage takes offline so much of the internet that '''CNN, ABC, CBS''' actually do a report on it... That is something else. <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 16:44, 31 August 2014 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

    Welcome to the edit warring noticeboard Shortcuts Update this page

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

    You must notify any user you have reported.

    You may use {{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.
    Definition of edit warring
    Edit warring is a behavior, typically exemplified by the use of repeated edits to "win" a content dispute. It is different from a bold, revert, discuss (BRD) cycle. Reverting vandalism and banned users is not edit warring; at the same time, content disputes, even egregious point of view edits and other good-faith changes do not constitute vandalism. Administrators often must make a judgment call to identify edit warring when cooling disputes. Administrators currently use several measures to determine if a user is edit warring.
    Definition of the three-revert rule (3RR)
    An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Violations of this rule normally attract blocks of at least 24 hours. Any appearance of gaming the system by reverting a fourth time just outside the 24-hour slot is likely to be treated as a 3RR violation. See here for exemptions.

    Sections older than 48 hours are archived by Lowercase sigmabot III.

    Twinkle's ARV can be used on the user's page to more easily report their behavior, including automatic handling of diffs.

    Diff of ANEW notice posted to user's talk page:

    Comments:
    User:GiggaHigga127 insists on adding the light middleweight and middleweight divisions to Conor Benn's infobox. Our style guide at WikiProject Boxing, MOS:BOXING, says to only include weight classes in which a boxer has notably competed, that being usually for regional/minor/world titles. In Benn's case, that division was welterweight for almost the entirety of his career, and he did indeed hold a regional title in that division. In 2023 he was given a lengthy ban from the sport, from which he recently returned in a pair of throwaway fights within the light middleweight limit, against non-notable opposition and with no titles at stake. Per the style guide, those throwaway fights are not important enough to warrant the inclusion of light middleweight in the infobox, at least until he begins competing there regularly.

    As far as middleweight goes, Benn has never competed anywhere close to that weight class. He has a fight 'scheduled' to take place at middleweight, but until the bell rings to officially commence proceedings, WP:CRYSTAL and WP:V should apply, and again it should not be listed in the infobox until then. This same fight was 'scheduled' in 2023, only to be cancelled after Benn failed a drug test—something which happens in boxing all the time. In fact, at the Project we had a similar RfC regarding upcoming fights in record tables, so the same should apply in this instance. WP:IAR would also be a cop-out, because the whole point of MOS:BOXING was to ensure consistency across boxing articles. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 18:50, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

    It continues: , this time with me being called a "melt". I can't imagine what that is, but all the better if it's an insult for obvious reasons. Also, no responses at user talk page. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 00:06, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

    Comments:

    Extremely aggressive edit warring. Xpander1 had expanded a redirect to a page with no issue but decided it would be better to just create a page, hence a discussion at Special:Diff/1270341854. Editor decided to "redact contribution in protest", initially blanking then resorting to redirecting. User:Wikishovel would assist in reverting these changes with Xpander1 reacting negatively, violating 3RR to get it erased. Editor had created redirects such as Protestant and Catholic Tübingen Schools and Tübingen school (Germany), with Protestant and Catholic Tübingen School being where he did a cut-and-paste move from original article. Has no intention to resolve dispute any time soon. MimirIsSmart (talk) 08:26, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

    All I did was self-reverting, the article had no significant history before my contribution. What you are describing as "copy-pasting", is me putting my own creation in a new page. As I have explained in many places, in the WP:Teahouse, and elsewhere. My rationale is very simple, Misplaced Pages must distinguish between valid-article-creators and redirect-page-creators. I currently count as the latter. Which don't think is fair. Xpander (talk) 08:49, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
    As for now, the page is currently being attributed to User:Wetman on xtools.wmcloud.org/pages/en.wikipedia.org/Wetman and on the article's info page. Xpander (talk) 09:12, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

    The Teahouse discussion can be found (for now) at WP:Teahouse#Made an article in place of an redirect. Please see also User talk:Voorts#Protestant and Catholic Tübingen School and Talk:Protestant and Catholic Tübingen School. Wikishovel (talk) 09:09, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

    Blocked – for a period of 72 hours Like Wikishovel, I am mystified—no, make it stunned—that Xpander thinks this edit-warring is justified. In what sense are they not being attributed as the page creator sufficiently for their ego? Do they mean that the page creation log isn't saying that they are? Uh, that's something the software does, that by design no one has control over. Wetman is going to get credit for creating the page, yes, as the empty redirect it was apparently quite happy to have been for 15 years. As noted, no editor familiar with how our processes work would doubt that Xpander, in practical terms, created the article by translating the dewiki article, regardless of what the logs say.

    Xpander's repeated reversion to the redirect is, frankly, childish behavior that smacks of page ownership. I strongly remind them not to expect rewards for their editing.

    I also reject their argument that 3RRNO#1 shields them as they were merely always "reverting their own edit". Technically that might be arguable, but it is inarguable that, especially given their statement that this was a protest over not getting credit for something no one really expects credit for, they did so in a manner calculated to cause maximum disruption and interfere with the work of others. To allow this to pass on that basis would be opening up a whole new way to game the system. Daniel Case (talk) 20:17, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

    Addendum: I also commend WP:NO THANKS to Xpander1's attention. Daniel Case (talk) 22:23, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

    I don't understand the user always keep targeting me. I am more of a silence contributor. I had seen how the complainant had argue with other contributor in other talk page and after a while the complainant stay silent and not touching certain topic and instead keep making edit on articles related to Soka Gakkai or Daisaku Ikeda. Now, he is making a lot of edit on Soka Gakkai International. Kelvintjy (talk) 05:11, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

    @Objective3000 So let me get this straight, you're saying making unrelated reverts of unrelated content in a 24 hour period hits 3RR? You sure you got that right? As people violate that one all the darn time. Never bothered to report people as it's completely innocent. If you're heavily involved on a page and reverting stuff you'll hit that quick and fast for a rapidly updated page. Ergzay (talk) 18:59, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
    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. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:01, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
    Well TIL on that one as that's the first time I've ever heard of that use case and I've been on this site for 15+ years. 3RR in every use I've ever seen it is about back and forth reverting of the _same content_ within a short period of time. It's a severe rule break where people are clearly edit warring the same content back and forth. Reverting unrelated content on the page (edits that are often clearly vandalism-like edits, like the first two listed) would never violate 3RR in my experience. Ergzay (talk) 19:04, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
    I'd honestly love an explanation on that rule as I can't figure out why it makes sense. You don't want to limit people's ability to fix vandalism on a fast moving page. Ergzay (talk) 19:08, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
    WP:3RR: There are certain exemptions to the three-revert rule, such as reverting vandalism or clear violations of the policy on biographies of living persons. – RodRabelo7 (talk) 19:11, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
    No I mean even in the wider sense. Like why does it make sense to limit the ability to revert unrelated content on the same page? I can't figure out why that would make sense. The 3RR page doesn't explain that. Ergzay (talk) 19:13, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
    Vandalism is an exemption. But vandalism has a narrow definition. O3000, Ret. (talk) 19:12, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
    Should be added, that I was in the process of reverting my own edit after the above linked comment, but someone reverted it before I could get to it.
    The 18:12 edit was me undoing what was presumed to be a mistaken change by EF5 that I explained in my edit comment as they seemed to think that "some random twitter account" was being used as a source. That revert was not reverted. The 18:31 edit was a revert of an "i don't like it" edit that someone else made, it was not a revert of a revert of my own change. Ergzay (talk) 19:17, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
    Frankly, I thought your characterization of IDONTLIKEIT in your edit summary was improper and was thinking of reverting you, but didn't want to be a part of what I thought was your edit war. O3000, Ret. (talk) 19:26, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
    We can agree to disagree, but the reasons I called it IDONTLIKEIT was because the person who was reverted described the ADL, who is on the perennial sources list as being reliable, in their first edit description with the wording "LMAO, this is as trustworthy as Fox News" followed by "cannot see the pertinence of this" after another editor restored the content with a different source, which is the edit I reverted. Ergzay (talk) 19:34, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
    Looks like you have seven reverts in two days in a CTOP. I've even seen admins ask someone else to revert instead of violating a revert rule themselves. O3000, Ret. (talk) 19:48, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
    What is a CTOP? Ergzay (talk) 19:58, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
    A CTOP is a WP:CTOP. RodRabelo7 (talk) 19:59, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
    In Ergzay's defense some of these reverts do seem to be covered under BLP, but many do not and I am concerned about the battleground attitude that Ergzay is taking. The edit summaries "Discussion ongoing and it's incorrect as well" and "Removing misinformation" also seems to be getting into righting great wrongs territory as the coverage happened whether you agree with the analysis or not. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 20:05, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
    @Horse Eye's Back Thanks but at this point things are too heated and people are so confident Musk is some kind of Nazi now nothing I say is gonna change anything. It's not worth the mental exhaustion I spent over the last few hours. So I probably won't be touching the page or talk page again for several days at least unless I get pinged. The truth will come out eventually, just like the last several tempest in a teapots on the Elon Musk page that eventually got corrected. Misplaced Pages is gonna be Misplaced Pages. Ergzay (talk) 21:48, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
    Misplaced Pages is gonna be Misplaced Pages. If your argument is that Misplaced Pages is wrong about things and you have to come in periodically to fix it; that’s not an argument that works very well on an administrative noticeboard -- and certainly not a good argument here at AN3. O3000, Ret. (talk) 22:27, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
    I wouldn't worry all too much about it, 1rr for the article will slow things down and is a positive outcome all things considered. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 03:26, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
    This is an incorrect characterization of the discussion. The people you were edit warring with said, correctly, that he was accused of having made what looks like the Nazi salute. As you know from the video and the sources provided, this is objectively correct. You just don't like the fact that reliable sources said this about him. Nobody is trying to put "Elon Musk is a Nazi" in the article. MilesVorkosigan (talk) 23:34, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
    Based on the comment in response to the notification for this discussion, "I've been brought to ANI many times in the past. Never been punished for it", I was quite surprised to see that the editor didn't acquire an understanding of 3RR when previously warned for edit warring in 2020. That's sometime ago granted, but additionally a lack of awareness of CTOP, when there is an edit notice at Musk's page regarding BLP policy, is highly suggestive of WP:NOTGETTINGIT. This in addition to the 3RR warning that was ignored, followed by continuing to revert other editors, and eventually arguing that it must be because I am wrong. If there is an essay based on "Everyone else must be wrong because I'm always right" I'd very much like to read it. As for this report, I primarily wanted to nip the edit war in the bud which appears to have worked for now, given the talk page warning failed to achieve anything. I otherwise remain concerned about the general WP:NOTHERE based indicators; disruptive editing, battleground attitude, and lack of willingness to collaborate with other editors in a civil manner. CNC (talk) 23:55, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
    I have decided, under CTOPS and mindful of the current situation regarding the article subject, a situation that I think we can agree is unlikely to change anytime soon and is just going to attract more contentious editing, that the best resolution here, given that some of Ergzay's reverts are concededly justified on BLP grounds and that he genuinely seems ignorant of the provision in 3RR that covers all edits (a provision that, since he still wants to know, is in response to certain battleground editors in the past who would keep reverting different material within the same 24 hours so as to comply with the letter, but not the spirit, of 3RR (In other words, another case of why we can't have nice things)) is to put the article under 1RR. It will be duly logged at CTOPS. Daniel Case (talk) 00:02, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
    We are likely to see Ergzay at ANI at some point. But as I was thinking of asking for 1RR early today; I'm fine with that decision. O3000, Ret. (talk) 00:25, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
    Good decision. I otherwise think a final warning for edit warring is appropriate, given the 3RR violation even excluding BLPREMOVE reverts (first 4 diffs to be specific). There's nothing else to drag out here given Ergzay intends to take a step back from the Musk article, and per above, there is always the ANI route for any future incidents. CNC (talk) 00:40, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
    @CommunityNotesContributor My statement that you quoted there is because I'm a divisive person and people often don't like how I act on Misplaced Pages and the edits I make. People have dragged me to this place several times in the past over the years and I've always found it reasonably fair against people who are emotionally involved against dragging me down. That is why I said what I did. And as to the previous warning that you claim was me "not getting it", that was 3 reverts of the same material, and with a name 3RR the association is automatic. Edit: And I'll additionally add, I'm most certainly interested in building an accurate encyclopedia. Misplaced Pages at some point in the past lost its mind and has determined that truth seeking is not the ultimate goal, but simply regurgitating sources. I'm still very happy to use sources that exist and they should be used whenever possible, but in this modern day and age of heavily politicized and biased media, editors more than ever need to have wide open eyes and use rational thinking.

    User has been edit-warring for the past 9 months to try and reinsert incorrect information into the article, despite repeatedly having had this mistake corrected, and a consensus of 5 separate editors against these changes.

    Closed Limelike Curves, the user appears to have self-reverted less than an hour after their last edit warring continuation, and 14 hours before your report. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:41, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
    Thanks, I missed that (I didn't notice the last edit was a self-revert). – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 00:51, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
    68.150.205.46, thanks for self-reverting. Can you agree not to re-add the same material until a real consensus is found? An RfC could help. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:42, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
