FrankCesco26 keeps removing data from a recent survey conducted by ] from the articles listed above, claiming that it is unreliable and trying to replace it with older data or data from other sources, often hastily picked up from the web and sketchily represented in the pages.


'''Page:''' ] <br />
There has been a in which at least three editors (including myself) have not considered Ipsos data unreliable for what concerns the contexts of France, Belgium and Sweden.

I invite the moderators that will read this post to read also this page and take considerations ( https://www.ipsosglobaltrends.com/about/ ).

::As I already responded in the , that is not what the official page of the survey says.

France, Belgium and Sweden are among the first ones. However, this is not the issue being discussed here.--] (]) 17:46, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
:::If you didn't know, the working age population is NOT the total population of a country, it's only a part. The source also says that it excludes the over 64 year population, wich is out of the working age. So the sample shouldn't be considered representative of all the people of the country.

::::You are using the same type of misleading argumentations with which you tried to delete some data from "]" in past months (). Every time you don't like a source you try to construe some evidence of unreliability, and to forcibly replace it with any sort of data (last time they were the 8x1000 data, which have nothing to do with religious affiliation). However, I won't comment further here, at least about these topics, since your behaviour is simply unfair.--] (]) 18:07, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
:::::Well, that is a your opinion, and this is '''not''' the same case. In the "religion in Italy" article, there was a misleading part with the source. In fact, in the article it was supposed that the source used for calculating the catholics was for the italian citizens, but in the article using as source it wasn't written. So, I wanted to use the 8xmille data, but then I noticed that the source I was used had nothing to do with the religious affiliated and I gave up, admitting it. Later I searched in the source from the statistical agency and I found that it was for italian citizens, confirming the part. Also, you can't accuse my of construe anything, all I do is reasoning, I reming to you the ]. This case is very different for the already cited motivation you still didn't replied to. For the "religion in France" article I found a better source from September 2016. It's sample was 14.000 and it clearly incuded all of the French population, and there is nothing wrong with this source, but you removed it twice without reasons.] (]) 18:24, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
::::::As I wrote you also construed that data for France so that it excluded the nonresponding population, otherwise it perfectly matches (at least the figure for Christians) the Ipsos data.--] (]) 18:30, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
:::::::This is the proof you don't read the sources before making serious considerations. If you went to page 13 of the , you would've saw that the only thing I did is copying and pasting the data, since the most precise data is already adjusted. Data adjusting isn't a bad thing and it's used by most of the research centers (for example the Pew research Center). The concept is simple: people who didn't answer the interview simply didn't answer and they aren't taken in consideration. It'not manipulating, having the non-respondent population included in the percentage isn't needed. You can see that this method was also used in other parts of the Wiki, as in this https://en.wikipedia.org/Kaliningrad_Oblast#Ethnic_groups , or this https://en.wikipedia.org/Pest_County#Ethnicity.] (]) 18:38, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
::::::::My opinion as an occasional contributor to these articles: It is ok to ADD ipsos data as ADDITIONAL recent survey data. It is not ok to remove all other data, which at least partly use larger samples, stem from censuses or other highly qualified sources. In countries, which do not provide precise religious figures from religious bodies or censuses, we can only collect and display all recent quality data and should not select and prefer one over the others. It would not be really difficult to realize this principle in the debated articles. --] (]) 21:24, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
:::::::::Relevant old data is perfectly integrated in the .--] (]) 21:55, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
::::::::::Why did you keep only old data and you removed all the relevant recent data? You removed all other recent data included in this , and the only recent data you left is the Ipsos Global Trends Multi-Survey data, imposing on the reader only your source. So I would propose to leave the article as it is now, with the 2016 IFOP survey as main source, reintroducing the table of recent sources and adding the Ipsos Global Trends and the Ifop survey there. As said {u|Nillurcheier}, the source of Ipsos Global Trends should only be used as an '''additional source''', and, I would add, not as a primary source, as it excludes a good range of population (the over 64-year population, wich it's included in the main source I introduced, as you can see at , where you can read that the sample include the population from 15 years, including the over-75.).] (]) 13:04, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
:::::::::::That table contained old data and some of them were reports without source, such as CIA. Eurobarometer et al. are of the same value as Ipsos, so they are not relevant to be kept when they are outdated. However, this is not the matter being discussed here. Stop misleading discussions and ], it is really annoying.--] (]) 13:13, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
::::::::::::Regarding the ], I could say the same thing for you. <<Eurobarometer et al. are of the same value as Ipsos>> is not a motivation to remove other well-sourced surveys. As I can see from the table, the values of the other surveys are very different than Ipsos Global Trends survey.] (]) 15:52, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
:::::::::::::Do not trick readers by twisting the issue. The one who removes newer sources replacing them with older ones is you, as further demonstrated by the recent, reverted edits in "". Through my edits to "Religion in France, Belgium, Sweden" I kept all the ''relevant'' old data (such as those produced by CSA) integrating them into a new chronological table, while I removed all the old junk (surveys by minor agencies and reports-of-reports which often do not cite their source, such as CIA Factbook).--] (]) 08:41, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::Older data doesn't mean that is the worst data. I can't explain why the census sources are present in all articles in the series (if avaible), but in Germany's not. The method of calculating religious organizations in Germany is weird, since those who decide not to pay taxes to a given organization are automatically excommunicated, and I think the economic factor should not overlap with the religious factor. So I think the census data is more reliable, since it's based on a survey.
:::::::::::::::I am not twisting any problem, I simply have a different way of thinking than yours. The one who removed recent data replacing it with only one data is you, forcing the reader to only trust to your data. You say <<minor surveys>>, so you mean that you removed recent multiple surveys with a larger sample than the Ipsos Global Trends one (wich is about 1000, there arren't clear figures for France, since it's a multi-nation survey) IFOP2016, IFOP2011, CSA2012, 2012 Eurobarometer) only becouse according you are old junk?

::All you've really said is that you cannot source a list of shows from a channel's website, which would be absolutely hilarious if you hadn't edit warred to actually get a page without said list like you wanted. Look around Misplaced Pages, how many pages do you see with sources like that? How many would even be possible to source otherwise? And it's not like the programming list is fluff: it is absolutely critical to understanding what a channel is about, even for a casual reader! Your minor point about international channels sharing programming lists is nonsense even normally (as multiple AfDs have demonstrated!), but in this case utterly ridiculous because the channel isn't even owned by the same organization, so its programming is very often completely different from the "parent" channel's.
::But you know what?

If you think this is a particularly bad issue for ] I wonder why there is nothing about it on the article talk page? General issues about the sourcing of program guides could be raised at ].

: 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. I otherwise remain concerned about the general ] based indicators; disruptive editing, battleground attitude, and lack of willingness to collaborate with other editors in a civil manner. ] (]) 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 ])) is to put the article under 1RR. It will be duly logged at CTOPS. ] (]) 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. ] (]) 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. ] (]) 00:40, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
::@] 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.

*:::This is about TRM much more than Arthur and goes beyond mere edit-warring. For the past several months, TRM has been waging a one-person campaign against WP:RY, being disruptive and rude and making things personal rather than collaborating. To be clear, this isn't about just a difference of opinion (for the most part, in TRM's framing of "TRM vs the regulars at RY", I actually agree with TRM.); this is about TRM being nearly impossible to work with, and edit-warring is only one aspect of that. This probably needs to go to ANI, but I just don't have the time for that right now. -- ] (]) 16:17, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

The sources are all valid. The one link with the "comment" extension, I don't know why it did that, I intended to share the original article link not the comment link. However, the article itself is a valid one. Now, Muboshgu wasn't even the first to try to delete the entire section, but it is clear that he has a personl agenda to promote Lauren Book. She is a political figure, and politicians sometimes generate controversy, especially one where one sits on an appropriations committee and votes to give herself a lot of money. That is a valid concern. I didn't write those articles, the media did. It is apparent, however, that Muboshgu has his own agenda because even before I posted the "controversies" section, he deleted other additions to the article that had any criticism of Lauren Book. That makes the article slanted favorably towards Book. He backstory does NOT detract from her current actions and criticisms of her ethics is valid for inclusion here. I have added similar sections on other people like Jon Walsh and no one questioned those, but they have on this one, so don't sit here and try to tell me that this is somehow different than any other time I added controversies to articles.

This user is engaging in blatant revenge editing by removing sources (using the excuse that the number of sources are "over-kill", but ignores the fact that many of the sources are needed to show that the subject is notable) and tagging the article that I made with issues it does not have, (such as notability after the sources were removed). We've had personal issues and I admit that I acted wrong (very wrong; I would apologize but I'm guessing the person would believe it was disingenuous, maybe justifiably so. I was being very unreasonable during the conflict and I don't think they want an apology by now.), but vandalising and disrupting the site for revenge is not ok.

They will react by saying:
#"Well you removed a source from one of my articles and kept taging it as a notability consern!", well even if others agree with you that I was unjustefied in my tagging of the article and then putting it up for AFD so doesn't that change the fact that deliberately doing the exact same thing to the other editors article is still revenge editing. It's also worth pointing out that the source I removed was from some sort of game site, it was just simply a terrible source, which I tried to explain several times but they kept adding it back. (Because of this I do not believe the user is very capable of recognising a reliable source, which is relevant later.)
#They will also claim that I harassed them, if the admins agree that that was what I did then I should receive a block or a harsh warning, not have articles I've created be made worse.
#They will claim that all their removals were ok becuse the sources were not great to begin with, but that's not the reason they cited in their edit summary. (See above for why I believe the user is not capable of recognising a reliable source.) Even if it was true that the article in question was not notable or that the sources were all bad that doesn't change the fact that what is being done is blatant revenge editing.

I'm 100% sure this will turn into an edit war between me and the other editor if action is not taken, they will continue to remove the sources after this unless there is some repercussions. It's also worth pointing out that I have not engaged or even looked at any of the articles which we were originally fighting about since and have less than no interest in ever doing so. I want to put our issues behind and go about my day not having to interact with the editor is question again, I would hope that they feel the same but considering they started this new conflict I have my doubts.

Lastly I would like to state that I belive that the editor is doing this partly to deliberately provoke me to comment on their talkpage since they have "banned" me form doing so and in turn trying to have me blocked. I have already pointed out to them that I belive that what they is doing is hypocritical, not sure if they have seen it yet.] (]) 13:58, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

The article in question presents one-sided information, and that too sometimes using unsourced and questionable sources. The language Urdu is part of the Pakistani identity, and this article does not engage with the perspectives of Pakistanis who argue that the language Urdu has its own identity, distinct from Hindi. It's culturally insensitive to dismiss the cultural identity of another community and dismiss their perspecitives entirely to push one-sided claims that only serve to undermine their identity.
Articles about ] like this are beset by advocacy from people trying to hype them; these articles are also beset by online communities of people who discuss them on reddit, github, etc and other online fora and want to come here and bring those same ''kinds'' of sources here, as they are apparently considered "reliable" in their other online world.

'''Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:'''

User Adamstom.97 was displaying ] behavior, reverting no less than three editors who disagreed with his/her particular view of the article ], noting that his/her reverts were a return to the 'status quo' - despite discussion and solid reasoning initiated on the talk page. Two different editors specifically reverted Adamstom.97, and the latter kept on reverting after being warned both in the article discussion and explicitly so on their usertalk page to stop and use discussion instead. They apparently think that hiding edit-warring under the guise of STATUSQUO is totally acceptable. Perhaps they could use some time off and guidance? - ] (]) 23:28, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

* '''Defence''': So, for link 1 above, I came across what appeared to be vandalism (which I am pretty used to seeing in all the entertainment articles I follow) where some valid information was randomly deleted from the article because of the editor's personal opinion that it was "not at all important". I promptly reverted it and didn't think much of it. Later that day I was reverted by a second editor, and realised that this was not a simple case of vandalism. I then responded as I would have in the first instance, reverting the removal and explaining that the information was pretty standard to note—it seems pretty clear that when an actor takes over a role from another actor within a franchise, a short line noting this could be helpful to our readers (diff 2).

:Two days later, the information was removed again with an inappropriate edit summary, . I ignored the user's choice of words there, restored the article to the ] (diff 3), and proceeded to discuss the issue at the talk page (where I was met with more hostile behaviour). Within half an hour, the user had completely ignored STATUSQUO and reverted me again ; had attacked me at ; and had responded at the article's talk page discussion with even more vulgar language and attacks.

:I made it very clear in my responses to these, including diff 4 above, that I would not tolerate this treatment, but that I was still happy to have a civilised conversation about the issue and proceeded to lay out my argument (supported by sources) at the talk page discussion. But I continued to be attacked on multiple fronts by this user, culminating in their reporting me here for 3RR edit warring (which I would also point out is not accurate since I have not made more than 3 reverts at the article in 24 hours). I am honestly bewildered by this whole thing and do not understand what I have done to deserve this treatment. I would continue to argue my case at the talk page, but I feel that I will likely continue to be abused by the reporting editor unless I just leave the article as they want it to be. - ] (]) 00:34, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

    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.

    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.

    User:CommunityNotesContributor seems to be making a mistake here as several of those edits were of different content. You can't just list every single revert and call it edit warring. And the brief edit warring that did happen stopped as I realized I was reverting the wrong thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Talk:Elon_Musk&diff=prev&oldid=1270879523 Ergzay (talk) 18:49, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

    Read the bright read box at WP:3RR (. O3000, Ret. (talk) 18:54, 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.

    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. Ergzay (talk) 09:16, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    Hi, I'm just an uninvolved third-party editor who came across this 3RR violation involving the change of "Parmar Rajputs" to "Jats" in the article lead sentence. The editor themself has made a post on the talk page as seen in the diff above, but they continued to edit-war without getting a consensus first at that talk page discussion. Also worth noting the editor had received a prior 7-day block in Sep 2024 for similar disruption, such as this, where they also made an edit changing something to "Jats". — AP 499D25 (talk) 09:02, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

    Yeah let's give the bots that fix the double-redirects a break and stop move-warring the page until the account is blocked.

    I had said this before as well—you are the same people @Czello@DoctorWhoFan91 who want to manipulate the article in your own way and keep editing it to portray it in the same context of that past misunderstanding and conflict. So, I have nothing for you. You just keep putting in your efforts, but the consequences of your violative actions will come to you eventually. I have no answers for that, but when you are found guilty, you will have to deal with them on your own.

The logged-out editing is another matter, a more serious matter, and as it happens I can see just how much of it you have been doing. You should stop doing that esp. if, as you did here, you seem to be doing it to avoid scrutiny, because it's abusive and you are going to get blocked for it.

    Comments:

    The article in question presents one-sided information, and that too sometimes using unsourced and questionable sources. The language Urdu is part of the Pakistani identity, and this article does not engage with the perspectives of Pakistanis who argue that the language Urdu has its own identity, distinct from Hindi. It's culturally insensitive to dismiss the cultural identity of another community and dismiss their perspecitives entirely to push one-sided claims that only serve to undermine their identity.
