Violations
Nightbeast2
Three revert rule violation on Kulturkampf (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views).
Reported by:--Witkacy 00:02, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
Comments:
- The the second violation of the 3rr by Nightbeast (today).--Witkacy 00:04, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
- The first is not a revert but a simple removal of one category after discussion on my talk page, where I agreed on the link but not to the category. And I can't see the first violation of the rule except for avoidance vandalism of yours. And for your information, I've forwarded the dispute to Misplaced Pages:Third opinion as part of the dispute resolution. What did you do at that time? You forwarded the dispute to the Polish Wikipedian noticeboard.NightBeAsT 00:25, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
- It is a revert, you removed the category the first time on 02:05, 29 August 2005 --Witkacy 00:31, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
- According to that interpretation of the rule, this case would be a 3RR violation: some user removed the sentence "Please do not replace Misplaced Pages pages with blank content." A year later another user added in his first edit "Please don't violate Misplaced Pages rules" -> Revert of the partial state where the sentence included "Please". The user was not happy yet. His next edit made "don't" to "do not" -> Revert of the partial state where the sentence included "do not". Then the user wanted to be more precise and altered the sentence to "Please do not blank pages" -> "Revert of the partial state "blank"". In the end the user looked at the version history and found a much better sentence "Please do not replace Misplaced Pages pages with blank content" and restored the sentence -> Revert of the partial states "replace", "Misplaced Pages pages with blank content. Were these 4 reverts? Anyway, I didn't get it myself and should sleep over it. Let's wait for a third opinion on the article. Good night, Witkacy, and dream of your sweet revenge and world domination of the propaganda article Anti-Polonism :þNightBeAsT 01:00, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
- The 3rr is clear: Don't revert any single page more than three times within a period of 24 hours - you did it twice today. Your comment showing that you dont respect the rules on Misplaced Pages--Witkacy 01:11, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
- If it is so clear, what is a 'single page'? A state of a page, or a word or something that is partially state of something else. Since it was not a real revert, since it went without telling me this is real revert first, since you did nothing except for reverting but unlike NB only filling the edit summaries without accusations, not reasons, you're all the more guilty and I bet you NB doesn't think what he's done was injust.
- The 3rr is clear: Don't revert any single page more than three times within a period of 24 hours - you did it twice today. Your comment showing that you dont respect the rules on Misplaced Pages--Witkacy 01:11, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

- Funny, also, that it is you who cites rules this time. If Molobo was not so self-righteous and partial, he would call it "reversal of war guilt" again.213.6.36.126 15:49, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
Unfortunately, Nightbeast is a reactionary reverter and POV-pusher of the first order. Even for minor edits, he fights them on User talk pages, here attacking Witkacy on my talk page . --Noitall 01:37, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
- You still didn't get over it, Noitall? Well, too bad nobody found it necessary to help you POV-push, Noitall, the one who boldly said on his user page that he'd have so many reliable sources but when they were asked for, hadn't. Oh, and you once called him a stalker, .... who's stalking now? :)213.6.36.134 10:59, 31 August 2005 (UTC) Noitall, weren't you already enligthened by another editor on the George Bush page that "reactionary" is inappropriate for labelling wiki edits. And an impartial Space Cadet would say your behaviour was typical in kindergartens because of your name calling.213.6.36.126 15:49, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
- The text in question is ]. I do not feel that this is protected by the Gdansk vote template. Therefore, Nightbeast's changes are blockable reverts. --Merovingian (t) (c) 03:15, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
- Does it help any on his own double 3RR page that Nightbeast launches an attack using sockpuppet 213.6.36.134 above? --Noitall 13:23, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
- Sir, that is speculative! No seriously, cry another day ;,( if you want to prevent a dispute, try discussing and don't violate the NPOV policy next time, Noitall. If you want malicious pleasure for banning others, try a good therapy. Assuming good faith, the first is the case, so don't be responsible for what NB considers to be injustice because you tempt him to stand up to it.213.6.36.126 15:49, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
- Ahh now I remember him. What is even more ironic is that Noitall broke the three revert rule twice on 2003 Invasion of Iraq: the first time a user posted him exactly here but they decided that Noitall has finished editing for that day anyway so there was no need. The next day Noitall continued to revert thus again breaking the three revert rule because 24hours weren't over, which Nightbeast told Noitall on the talk page of Invasion of Iraq, yet Nightbeast didn't report him, which shows how evil NB is. Now we've a similar case and Noitall thanked Nightbeast for NB's pardon ... or does he? Well, maybe Nightbeast will not do that mistake twice if you know what I mean. That's nice indirect feedback because it's a nice way to reveal how NB's opponents' credibility is.213.6.40.142 17:05, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

- Isn't there some sort of penalty for attacking editors as a sockpuppet while under a 3RR? --Noitall 03:36, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

Three revert rule violation on article Nathan Parker (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), by user Nathparkling (talk · contribs):
Reported by: Babajobu 13:43, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
Comments: He created vanity page and reverted it four times despite repeated requests to stop on his user talk page; note: also appears to have blanked his own user page after I left comments
Comment from User:Nathparkling: I am very sorry i have never edited a page on[REDACTED] before so I dont understand the rules.
- Knew the rules well enough to repeatedly retrieve content from history, and blank his user talk page of test templates. Babajobu 15:26, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
Template:Gdansk-Vote-Notice
Once more there seems to be a little squabbling about the Gdansk/Danzig argument. A few months ago a few interested parties got together and hammered out some kind of agreement by a system of straight majority votes. Fine if they can get it to stick. However one of the terms said that the 3RR should be suspended in the case of edit warring over Danzig/Gdansk, but only for the party reverting to the form fixed by the vote. This resolution ("VOTE: Enforcement") was recorded as supported by 44 editors and opposed by 28--only a majority. This seems to me to be a poor reason for suspending the 3RR. I'd be interested in comments on this. --Tony Sidaway 18:10, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

- Gaming gaming gaming! Ref please. If anybody is actually caring about this: this is so obviously gaming to be ridiculous. Over three days of edits, only these two have done the editing. Instantnood began the editing, with what she knew would be a controversial edit. If he's going to goad other editors into a 3RR session, his first edit is just as bad as the reversal of it. He knows he has the first edit advantage in a 3RR war. SchmuckyTheCat 21:55, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Comments:
- Nixer is notoriously breaking 3RR on this article, deleting any comment regarding Nazi-Soviet pact from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics line. This is mixed with other edits.
- He has been already blocked before (on 11:55, 30 August 2005) and asked not to continue the editwar.
- Has been warned again about his 3RR violation (after his 4th revert this day).
- No need to mention any attemtps of dispute or finding a compromise are in vain :-(
- Blocked for 24 hours for his second 3RR violation in two days. Jtkiefer ----- 23:41, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

Three revert rule violation on Homosexuality (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). 66.216.226.34 (talk · contribs):
Reported by: Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 04:51, 2005 September 2 (UTC)
Comments:
- Apparently this user is solely interested in trying to sneak homophobic rambling into a few article related to this, based on contribution history, and previous blocks. Refuses to take change to talk page, despite requests in changelog and on user talk page.
- Seems to me to be an edit war. Blocked User:66.216.226.34, and User:Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters each for twenty-four hours, and would have blocked User:62.252.96.16, but it's a shared proxy. All were either warned or knew of 3RR. Bratsche 04:22, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
- To clarify, the edits breaking 3RR were performed on September 1. Bratsche 04:50, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
- Hi Bratsche, Lulu's says he didn't revert four times within 24 hours. I've glanced at the edit history but it's hard to see what's what. Do you have the diffs by any chance? SlimVirgin 06:08, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
- Or just the date and times would do, if you don't have the diffs already. SlimVirgin 06:13, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
- Actually Bratsche, cancel that request. I can see it now for myself. SlimVirgin 06:21, September 4, 2005 (UTC)

Comments:
The first three reverts are actually by 203.164.184.47, but it's very clear that we're dealing with the same person. This anon has been engaged in the exact same edits with the the following IPs:
- 203.164.189.102
- 3 reverts on the 1st of September, Norwegian language
- 203.164.184.52
- 5 reverts on the 29th of August, Norwegian language
- 203.164.184.195
- 203.164.184.20
- 3 reverts on the 18th of August, Norwegian language
These edits includes the same kind of reverts to the articles Slovenian language, Norwegian language and Danish language. The IPs 203.164.189.18 and 203.164.189.20 have furthermore made the exact same reverts in at least eight other language articles.
- Added more examples. I wonder if this guy is using a bot to alert him to the changes... and when was there consensus for using 100% SIL-classification? --Kaleissin 16:54:25, 2005-09-02 (UTC)
- Comment: He should be warned about the rule first.--Wiglaf 16:54, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
- Agree, should be clearly (politely) warned (ideally on all IP's involved). If that's already been done then just block them all. You don't even need the 3RR here, that is just blatant disruption at this point. - Taxman 19:42, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: He should be warned about the rule first.--Wiglaf 16:54, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
- I already issued a warning to 203.164.184.52. I don't like to deal out accusations of sock puppetry that I can't positively prove, but I find it quite suspicious that this user and AxSkov have been the only proponents of the SIL-type language tree in these articles, have quite similar editing habits (an unusual interest in phonetics, for example) and both hail from Australia. I've been told the IPs belongs to one of the biggest dial-ups over there, and coincidences are possible, but when I made a polite inquiry over at AxSkov's talkpage about it, his immidiate reaction was to remove my posting with the non-descript edit summary "few changes".
- Peter 20:16, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
- Looks pretty damning to me, but ask a developer or one of the users like David Gerard that have the ability to check IP's to be sure. Did you block all the IP's anyway? I'd say start with 24hrs for each, and increase if they come back and do it again with the same IP. - Taxman 20:02, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

Three revert rule violation on Arthur Schopenhauer (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) by Space Cadet (talk · contribs):
Space Cadet knows the 3RR very well, and has nevertheless reverted more than 3 times in 24 hours. he has been blocked for the 3RR before. Since I am potentially involved I did not block him. Coud someone look at this? Thanks -- Chris 73 Talk 07:27, September 4, 2005 (UTC)

- No it's not a revert but completely separate edit! Space Cadet 11:33, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
- It reverted parts of this. This partial edit is just like mine, which counted (thanks to Witkacy) as a revert and contributed no less to the 3RR violation I was then condemned - though I protested in a similar way to you. So if I've broken the rule (see above), so have you. You've always demanded consistency, Space Cadet...NightBeAsT 11:50, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

- I'd call "smart alec" a personal attack (didn't you say that namecalling belongs to the kindergarten?), and your lack of consistency when it comes to the same case but with you instead of me being the accused, I'd call a lack of consistency a simple double standard. If I was guilty, so are you - if I was unguilty, so are you. I was found guilty although I really didn't know a partial revert counts as a revert and that Witkacy, whose "lawyer" you claimed to be, cowardly ambushed me there and now you've just the same case. Ironic, huh? Are we equal before the wiki law? Let's see what the ruling is.NightBeAsT 12:27, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
- I apologize for smart alec, although in my culture this expression is not offensive (unlike calling somebody a nationalist). Your "consistency" is: if somebody was treated unfairly, lets treat everybody the same way. Mine is to identify the unfairness as soon as possible and never let it happen again. Also your bloody search for "cowardly" revenge really sets your standards away from this encyclopedia.

- My consistency is: if you and your ... client intolerantly treat me what they consider to be fairly and are approved by an administrator, but suddenly the tables have been turned and now you're in the same situation as I am, then you deserve the same punishment that I had to suffer - for consistency - AND so that you learn the golden rule: do unto others as you would like them do unto you. I learnt it. I did not grass on Noitall but I guess he didn't understand that. But if you would like to dwell on the philosophical problem does-injustice-justify-injustice instead, I'd say look at anyone else's culture: what will happen to, say, a man found to be a rapist? Would you say, "You mustn't put him into a prison - that's mean!"? That's not revenge, that's justice. And spare that hypocrisy about that you're trying to identify unfairness (why didn't you defend me at any time?) - you admitted it yourself: you're a lawyer, you'd brabble anything if it helps you and your client's cause - no matter how wrong it is.

- I rest my case! Space Cadet 16:59, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
- Know what? I've changed my mind. No blocking. I don't care whether you're sentenced or not. I wanted you to get to know the feeling of perceiving injustice yourself, the same feeling that a shocked Nightbeast had when he was blocked for the same thing (by someone who you consider to be your friend and who you've supported in another senseless revert war), and probably as Chris had when you ignored the community's ruling again and again and again. Let's assume good faith and believe that you've learnt from your mistake, you've stopped this war anyway, non? (if not, try a discussion, RfC, anything but not reverting) Hate only leads to more hate.

- No doubt there's been a revert war going on in this article for several days. The war was on the unfortunate Gdańsk/Danzig naming again. Editors involved in reverts included (in alphabetical order): Chris 73, NightBeast, Shauri, Space Cadet, Witkacy. Sad as it is, as this seems to be a purely vanity entertainment, I would suggest that the page is protected for some grace period. --Wojsyl 09:57, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
- The fourth edit is not a revert as far as I can tell, much less a repetition of the other reverts. I thought there was a decision about Danzig/Gdańsk; why aren't people following it??? This has got to be the most ridiculous disagreement on the Internet, ever. I am appalled. --Merovingian (t) (c) 03:27, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
- "The 3rr is clear: Don't revert any single page more than three times within a period of 24 hours", would a Witkacy state again if he put higher priority on rules and avoiding double standards rather than his cause and bias. There's no single mention of how to objectively judge a repetition but I'd say replacing the city name, no matter where in the article a repetion, because this was what his previous reverts tried to do, is a revert, not least because even this change of the name at this concrete place in the text has been subject of another revert conflict one or two days before. Face it: the 3RR is really vague and subjective in our cases and only an opinion played a role, just another dirty double standard in favour of them.
- Of course it's a ridiculous disagreement but to these guys, it's a fight, motivated by national bias, that they think they could win by their ability to biasedly revert pages, stubborness and the 3RR. Protecting the pages wouldn't make a difference - they'll ignore any dialectic and once the protection expires, these editors, like vultures, would continue their trip.NightBeAsT 11:27, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
Hopefully this particular case is already over now, as it seems, a similar consensus was reached on Arthur Schopenhauer article, that we've managed to achieve earlier on Georg Forster. --Wojsyl 11:35, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
As to 3RR enforcement, as always, this is applied at the sysop's discretion. There's no rule that forces anyone to block a user if he doesn't consider it useful. --Wojsyl 11:39, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

- This appears to be a clear cut WP:3RR violation; I will reiterate that in 3RR it does not matter who is "right" or "wrong"- it is only to prevent edit warring. Mike Garcia, looking at the talk page, I think they're trying to get you to cite your sources, so in the future, don't revert when there appears to be a consensus against adding that statement. Regardless, unless it is clear-cut vandalism (which this does not appear to be), do not revert more than 3 times in a 24 hour period. I have blocked Mike Garcia for 24 hours.

Erm- From my understanding (and after re-reading it), I don't beleive that the WP:3RR applies to user pages. It says "Misplaced Pages articles", and also has a section on user pages; however, this section (IMO) is quite ambigious. I would suggest that this dispute through the official Misplaced Pages:Dispute resolution process. Thanks! Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 22:47, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
- I don't think 3RR applies to your own user page, I'm not sure about other peoples (atleast I'd have thought that would have been the intent of that).

- This user has been previously blocked, but after it finishes he continues to engage in revert wars. I believe if his block is longer this time, he may desist. Thanks.
- Seems to be clear reverts to me, combined with an absence of discussion on the talk page.
I would support a block-- Chris 73 Talk 13:57, September 9, 2005 (UTC)- Well, if you do a diff on the first change it isn't a whole revert. It was a wikification of information that was added and it was the removal of some information that was inaccurate. There are several opinions on meat eating in Sikhism () and if I were to hazard a guess, I would say a majority do eat meat. I'm sure "Sikhism does not specifically prohibit eating meat, this issue is contentious at best" is a good enough explanation.
- The second revert, Harprit removed perfectly valid images, changed "main article" to "see details", removed the disam. link for Vedic religions and removed the concept of reincarnation. This has been done repeatedly before and serves no purpose. Then Harprit reverted my changes because apparently there was a "consensus" - none I was aware of.
- These issues have been discussed many times before. I cannot be bothered to list them for the hundredth time. This user has been a constant pain. I am pretty certain that User:Thetruth, User:Happytime and User:Harprit are the same people or at the very least a group working together. In addition I'm pretty certain that IP addresses have been used to escape the three revert rule. If you check user talk pages (User_talk:Thetruth, User_talk:Happytime, User_talk:Harprit, User_talk:Sukh), Talk:Urdu_language, Talk:Hindi_language you will see I've discussed many matters before and the user has no concept of a discussion.
- I had mentioned the reverts on my user talk page before, such as:
- "What reason do you have for removing:
- Sikhs believe in the concept of reincarnation. All creatures are believed to have souls that pass to other bodies upon death until liberation is achieved.
- The concept of reincarnation is central to Sikhism. If you don't know anything about the subject in hand, don't make such edits. If you are a Sikh I suggest your learn about your own religion in more depth. And why did you remove the image of a man reading the Guru Granth Sahib at the Harmandir Sahib?"

Reported by: · Katefan0 20:51, September 11, 2005 (UTC)
Comments:
- User:Benjamin Gatti (who has been blocked before for 3RR on another article) is repeatedly trying to force biased statements into the article on Looting, despite entreaties to stop. His wording may change slightly on each attempt, but the thrust of the bias he is trying to insert into the article remains the same. No fewer than
threefour editors have rejected his changes and additions, yet he continues to attempt to insert the same unencyclopedic, biased, bloggish commentary into the article. · Katefan0 20:51, September 11, 2005 (UTC)
- Umm, the 1st and 3rd don't really count, the first is a first attempt to rewrite, not a revert, while the 3rd is a revert by you... Sasquatcht|c 01:21, September 12, 2005 (UTC)
- Sorry, I fixed the broken diff. I maintain that while Benjamin used slightly different wording, the POV point he was trying to get across (which has been reverted multiple times by different editors) is no different. Rephrasing the same point while making no true good faith attempt to improve an edit is functionally no different than a blind revert, I feel. I ask you to reconsider. · Katefan0 15:09, September 12, 2005 (UTC)
- The problem is, even it is considered a "revert", it is not truly a revert as he is editting it, not restoring it to a different version, this would be considered the "version reverted to" wihle the other 3 are then "reverts" if that makes any sense, anyways, he seems to have stopped and is seeking compromises (which is the whole point) so I don't really think a 3RR block is warranted, just try to work together to sort things out and build consensus rather than trying to get users blocked. Anyways, I will keep a watch and if he does try to POV push, I will block people who do so without discussion. Thanks for your understanding and regards! Sasquatcht|c 00:33, September 13, 2005 (UTC)
- Sasquatch, thanks much for your kind thoughts, with which I agree. It appears as though the prospect of skating up to a 3RR and being reported for it has made him quit. He's talking now instead of reverting, which is good enough for me. · Katefan0 23:32, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

- The user has reverted the article 4 times in order to insist on removing figures from "elsewhere in Europe" and a section with countries such as Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and adjusting the "grand total" figure according to these changes. The user has been blocked for 3rr several times before and is aware of the rule. This is the version that the user made his first revert to: -- Karl Meier 22:04, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
- Uncited statistics are not allowed on wikipedia. One of my edit was not a revert. Realise that the content overal is modified. --Cool Cat 22:17, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

- Revert 2 16:17, 12 September 2005
- Revert 3 16:40, 12 September 2005
- Karl, has also been blocked violating 3rr, all 3 of my blocks was me warring against him on articles he had no edits prior to my first edit on them. Once he reported my "3rr violation" on my own talk page against him. --Cool Cat 22:27, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, and then it is a complex revert. The 3rr also apply to that, and you've been blocked for that before. Also, this is not the place discuss the content of an article, and/or other issues. There is question waiting for you on the articles talkpage/at your ArbCom case. -- Karl Meier 22:27, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
- I already answered it. Uncited demographics cannot exist on wikipedia. --Cool Cat 22:32, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
- The RfAr case was filed against your stalking by User:Tony_Sideaway, which you claim is legitamate. One would be hard pressed to declare my edits as pov pushing. --Cool Cat 22:32, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
- If you want to discuss issues with me regarding the current ArbCom case please post your thoughts there. If there anything else, you are always very welcome to use my talkpage. However, this page is about 3rr, not anything else, so I suggest we stop discussing any other issues here. -- Karl Meier 22:40, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

- It has been days since I reported this 3rr. Is there anyone who would like to take a look at this, and see if it is a 3rr or not? -- Karl Meier 13:59, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
- It's moot, really. Cool Cat was blocked for 72 hours at his own request a couple of days ago. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 14:39, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, he was blocked on his own request, but then again unblocked I think only about 7 or 8 hours later. So I think the 3rr should still be considered, and enforced if an admin find that he has indeed violated 3rr. I don't think his attempts to (yet again) create a drama should have any influence on that. -- Karl Meier 15:08, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
- It falls under sneaky vandalism to adjust statistics without citing them. You should be the one getting blocked if the first place and I only reverted 3 times. --Cool Cat 15:58, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
- What I did was to restore the previous figures that has been there for a long time, and which not added by me but by previous editors. I also added a {{fact}} template to these figures. It's surely not vandalism to do so and because of that you have violated the 3rr. Also, again, I repeat, this is not the place to discuss the content of the article. That is what the articles talkpage is for. Is it really so difficult to understand Coolcat? -- Karl Meier 16:28, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
- I am discussing the nature of the edits, this is the right place. It could be argued that inserting uncited statistics, or trying to keep them is sneaky vandalism/pov pushing. If you find me 1 admin arguing that inserting ucited statistics is good practice, I will rest my case. --Cool Cat 16:36, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
- I think we should just leave it to the admins to decide if I was vandalizing, or if you where violating the 3rr. -- Karl Meier 16:48, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

Ral315's findings:
- (All times UTC)
- September 11
- The 3:36 edit by Cool Cat changed numbers. For this 3rr's purposes, this will not be considered a revert.
- The 9:04, 9:07, and 9:21 edits by Karl Meier reverted Cool Cat's previous edit. (Revert #1 for Karl Meier)
- The 9:28 edit by Cool Cat reverted Karl Meier's edits, and was nearly identical to the 3:36 edit (Revert #1 for Cool Cat)
- The 9:29 edit by Karl Meier fixed an incorrect statistic, and will not be counted as a revert.
- The 9:33 edit by Cool Cat reverted this, but Cool Cat realized his mistake and reverted it back to Karl Meier's 9:29 edit. This will not be counted as a revert.
- The 9:44 edit by Karl Meier was removing bold inserted by Cool Cat (Revert #2 for Karl Meier)
- Edits from 9:53 to 10:26 by Cool Cat reverted Karl Meier's edits, and added references to nationmaster.com, a Misplaced Pages mirror. (Revert #2 for Cool Cat)
- The 10:30 edit by Karl Meier reverted Cool Cat's previous edits to the 9:44 Karl Meier edit, stating in the edit summary that nationmaster.com was a Misplaced Pages mirror, and should not be cited. (Revert #3 for Karl Meier)
- The 10:32 edit by Cool Cat reverted to the 10:26 version, with minor formatting changes. (Revert #3 for Cool Cat)
- The 10:47 edit by Khaosworks reverted to the 10:30 version by Karl Meier. (Revert #1 by Khaosworks)
- Edits at 13:19 and 13:22 by Karl Meier changed some formatting and added internal links in the religion section. This is not considered a revert.
- September 12
- The 16:01 edit you cited (taking into account all edits made by Cool_Cat from 15:52 to 16:30) moved Demographics up in the article, and changed some statistics. I find this to be a revert, as this was not a new edit; Cool Cat had done this on September 11. (Revert #1 for Cool Cat)
- The 18:11 edit (and subsequent 18:20 edit that corrected an error) by Karl Meier changed some statistics back, changed the format of the table a bit, and added some information in the religion section. (Revert #1 for Karl Meier)
- The 18:47 edit by Cool Cat was identical to the 16:30 edit, except for fixing Finland's data. (Revert #2 for Cool Cat)
- The 18:54 edit for Karl Meier was identical to the 18:20 edit. (Revert #2 for Karl Meier)
- The 20:44 edit for Karl Meier was a link edit unrelated to the 3rr request.
- The 21:17 edit for Cool Cat was identical to the 18:47 edit. (Revert #3 for Cool Cat)
- The 21:29 edit for Karl Meier was identical to the 20:44 edit. (Revert #3 for Karl Meier)
- The 21:40 edit for Cool Cat was identical to the 21:17 edit. (Revert #4 for Cool Cat)
- Overall findings
- Both users were uncivil to each other, claiming "PoV pushing" in edit summaries and on the talk page.
- Karl Meier stayed barely within the fit of 3RR.
- Karl Meier will not be punished, though I warn that in the future, it may be best to abide by the 1RR, as it causes a lot less disruption. I suggest mediation if edit wars continue.
- Cool Cat made 4 reverts on September 12th. In speaking with him on IRC, I believe that this was a mistake on his part, rather than a deliberate attempt to continue an edit war.
- Cool Cat is blocked for 6 hours. The lighter sentence reflects my belief that the 3RR was accidental; however, note that any following 3RRs should be considered deliberate and judged as such. Again, I suggest mediation should another edit war ensue, and Cool Cat, I suggest the same thing that I did to Karl Meier: 1RR is a lot less controversial than 3RR.

Reported by: Gorgonzilla 20:35, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
Comments:
- Poster has numerous aliases, Long John Silver, Honest Abe, Swamp Foxx, New IP, all are very clearly the same individual.
- Poster keeps reverting to an exceptionally POV version of the article that makes claims that are clearly untrue, e.g. attempting to claim that Gov. Blanco did not make a request to the Whitehouse to declare a state of emergency. Instead insisting that the Gov. issued a press release in the hope that the WH would act on that.
- Poster also insists on using POV phrasing, inserting 'Nagin admitted that' in clear attempt to indicate that Nagin is accepting blame for something where it is clear from the context of the quote he is not.
- Poster keeps rewording the claim but essentially pushes the same POV. He refuses to engage in talk except to attack others as being biased.
- Poster has used other IP addresses in the past, apparently behind a NAT,
- 138.162.0.38/28
- 209.247.222.92/28
- 12.74.187.122

- Recomend locking the articles affected Ray Nagin Kathleen Blanco as poster is almost certain to return under another sock
Additional comments by jentizzle
- I also can attest that it appears ONE anonymous user appears under different aliases and constantly reverts the article on Ray Nagin to his own POV, which many many users in talk take issue with
- His most ludicrous edit to date is claiming that Mayor Nagin chose not to employ schoolbuses in aiding the evacuation efforts, and supporting this claim ONLY with a photo of schoolbuses
- He has further consistently changed the statement "Governor Blanco sent a request to Pres. Bush for federal assistance" to "Governor Blanco issued a statement in the media request that Pres. Bush..." although Blanco's press release, which supported the first statement clearly states that it includes a reprint of the actual letter, which was sent to President Bush. Furthermore, two journalistic sources are linked after Blanco's press release, which printed articles on the same day stating that the governor request federal assistance. This has been explained in talk, but the user refuses to accept any view except his own --Jentizzle 23:14, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

- Hopefully the vandal will take the hint, the problem has been that his constant revert warring has pretty much stalled the actual editing of the article. --Gorgonzilla 23:20, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

- Hmmm, I guess I took a little too long writing him a note on his talk page. I thought another warning might have been fair, as he believed he was abiding by the letter of the rule (which he wasn't), but I won't unblock him. — Asbestos | Talk (RFC) 17:22, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

- This user's blatantly anticollaborative and disruptive behavior, culminating so far in an active RfC, has threatened me and other users, lobbed dozens of personal attacks, and is a decidedly non-productive presence, who seems more than willing to disrupt Misplaced Pages on his slightest whim. -- RyanFreisling @ 04:15, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
- Well, tampering with other peoples' comments is definitely a no-no and is punishable as vandalism. There is a guideline, part of WP:NPA that allows people to remove other peoples' comments if they are personal attacks, though it is quite controversial and not considered official policy. However, I must say I don't feel that the information BigDaddy777 is reverting is really a personal attack. I'm going to warn him sternly; if he does this sort of thing again please let me know. · Katefan0 04:20, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

- User:Dhimmi keeps adding what he says is this woman's real name to the first sentence. She's a writer who's critical of Islam and uses a pseudonym for security reasons; plus we're anyway not certain that it's her real name. He's been reverted by several editors and has reverted 13 times today. I warned him once on his talk page at 21:00, which he acknowledged at 22:10, but he says 3RR doesn't apply to vandalism, and he reverted twice after that first warning. I warned him a second time in an edit summary, but he reverted again. SlimVirgin 23:57, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

User:RyanFreisling made 5RR on Karl Rove main page
Ryan made five reverts to Karl Rove in just over 18 hours. At one point, I became concerned with one of her lightning speed reverts, and asked her politely to count her edits and let me know what she found; she responded to my message, but she never gave a count -- she just denied that you have ever broken 3RR.
This is her pattern: She tries to disguise her reverts by going on the offense, making unfounded accusations of vandalism, POV, plagiarism, bad faith, and lack of exercise in writing skill. I believe each of her accusations, in themselves, assume bad faith. Accusations aside, she still broke the rule. Personally, I suspect that she uses bullying to scare off editors you disagree with. See above 3RR accusation against BigDaddy, who she has been fighting with.
As a revert is undoing the actions of another editor, this is clearly what she has done in each of the five instances. It is true that undoing vandalism does not count towards a revert, but BigDaddy's edit of 13:41 on 16 Sept. was clearly a content dispute, not "vandalism," as she accused him. When I addressed her on that point and defended him against her accusation of vandalism, she ignored me.
The 5RR
(Sorry, I am new, and have not yet learned how to do these DiffHist links. I will learn.)
- 15 Sept. 22:06: Undid the combined actions of Kizzle and BigDaddy777 with a deletion, then made an accusation of plagiarism (an assumption of bad faith) and lectured them to "exercise some skill." You could have easily added quotes to indicate that it was a quote, or reworded it. Instead, you undid their actions.
- 16 Sept. 2:05: Undid the actions of Paul Klenk with a deletion, accusing him of POV.
- 16 Sept. 10:43: Undid the actions of BigDaddy777 with a deletion, accusing him of POV, and characterizing his edits as "removing content you don't like."
- 16 Sept. 13:41 Undid the actions of BigDaddy777 with a deletion, then accused him of his "latest vandalism."
- 16 Sept. 16:25 Undid the actions of BigDaddy777 with a deletion; her accusation? he "deleted without cause."
She repeats the word "vandalism" over and over, but none of BigDaddy's edits on the page are vandalism. Several users have complained that the article is glutted with negative material that needs to be trimmed. Some of us are trimming it. This is not vandalism. It is editing.
paul klenk 03:38, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
- Here are the edits made by Ryan in the past 24 hours on the Karl Rove page that you refer to: . The most recent 3 (), are Ryan reverting BigDaddy's unexplained deletion of large chunks of the article. If deleting large chunks of the article isn't vandalism I don't know what is. And the last two I listed () Aren't even Reversions. So any way that you slice it, RyanFreisling has not broken 3RR. 69.121.133.154 04:05, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
- Dear anonymous et al, each of the five edits undo another editor's actions. Some of the actions were deletions, but editors are allowed to make deletions without invoking an edit war -- something Ryan is quick to charge others of. What you call "large chunks" are known in literary circles as "paragraphs." One or two sentences. What should we do -- delete half a sentence? Please be reasonable. paul klenk 04:15, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
- paul, for example the 3rd "revert" cited adds new sources for a section cut under the complaint it was improperly sourced. the addition of relevant new material makes this not a revert. i'll also note that the page has been protected for quite some time, so this is not an ongoing issue. Derex 04:22, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
- Both Ryan and BigDaddy777 were naughty. That's why I protected the page. Blocking either or both users now doesn't help make the article better, which is the ultimate goal. Sarcasm doesn't help either. · Katefan0 04:27, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

- I'm not saying Ryan was naughty -- I don't care about that. I'm saying she clearly broke the 3RR rule by making 5RR. Please address yourself to those 5RR. Since you and she have already attempted together to have BD disciplined, I would say you should stand down from this fight and let neutral parties look at her five edits which undid the actions of others. paul klenk 04:34, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
- My answer above did in fact address your request. In my estimation, a page protection is enough in this situation. The point of the 3RR rule and a temporary block for violating it is not really to punish people, it's to encourage collaboration, enforcing a sort of "cool down" period if you will when edit warring happens. The page protection currently in place satisfies that as far as I'm concerned. I welcome opinions from other admins but I don't see mine changing. · Katefan0 04:44, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

- Derex, thanks for checking in. In the instance you cite, Ryan undid Daddy's deletion. Yes, other material was added on top of it, but she still undid what he did. We are allowed to make deletions. (The page has only been protected for a few hours. These 5RR happened before it was protected.)
- Ryan may not "like" others' actions, she might not "think" they are "valid" (her words) but she can wait 24 hours like everyone else, get help from others, and let editors remove data with fueling a war. I am not saying Daddy doesn't share some blame; it doesn't justify what she did. paul klenk 04:30, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
- And other than the instance that Derex pointed out, Here's why the other 2 aren't reversions: in this edit Ryan leaves your grammatical correction intact, . If she had reverted your change, the grammar correction would have been reverted as well. In the other non-reversion edit, , she leaves the part added by Kizzle, , again if she had used the revert function that would not be there. Other than that, I think anyone is justified in reverting unexplained deletion of paragraphs as vandalism. 69.121.133.154 04:50, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
- Leaving my "comma" edit doesn't make her reverting "footnote" to "part" any less of a reversion. Leaving the part added by Kizzle doesn't make what she did to Daddy's portion any less of a reversion. Unexplained deletions are not vandalism. Read the vandalism page, and the 3RR page. It does not meet the definition of vandalism, and leaving some edits while undoing others is still considered a revert. Again, the page is disputed for too many negative quotes. Removing those quotes is a content dispute, not vandalism. We are getting hung up on the word reversion. Read 3RR page again -- a reversion is undoing the edits of another. Ryan undid the actions of other editors 5 times in less than 19 hours. paul klenk 05:07, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
- Misplaced Pages is very clear on what a revert is: "A revert is to undo all changes made after a certain time in the past. The result will be that the page becomes identical to how it used to be at some previous time." . However it is important to note per the 3RR page that "may include edits that mostly undo a previous edit and also add something new, page moving, admin actions such as protection, etc. Use common sense." . The only example you list that would fall under the common sense clause would be the one about the comma, then again, the entire edit consisted of one word "footnote", so its hard to determine what "mostly" is in that case. And according to the vandalism page, "Vandalism is any addition, deletion, or change to content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of the encyclopedia.". When someone deletes paragraphs without explanation, I don't think it's unreasonable to revert it as vandalism. For instance if I walked into the Al Franken article and deleted the bit about his USO Tours, without so much as an Edit Summary tag, my edit would be reverted, and rightfully so. 69.121.133.154 05:20, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
You are so wrong here. First of all, I prefaced my actions with comments. I explained why I was doing it and gave people a chance to respond. We now have a working definition of vandalism. It is ""Any addition, deletion, or change to content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of the encyclopedia."
To suggest, imply or even remotely infer that this is what I was doing is flat out slander. There's just no way to sugarcoat it. I am owed an apology. I was editing out sentences that were sourced by left wing hit pieces entirely designed to denigrated Rove and then finished off with 'but no proof was ever found' disclaimer. (And I was explaining what I was doing in the Talk pages at virtually every turn.) Truth be told, I'd say LEAVING that sort of muckracking in Wik is 'compromising the integrity of the encyclopedia' so you've got it exactly backwards. I'm trying to clean up some of the despicable, unfair, unsubstantiated, false and defamatory slimey attacks on a subject. I suggest you be very careful before accusing me of page vandalism. It's a serious charge and I don't take slanderous charges lightly. You can see for yourself, that despite your unconvincing defense of her, this has backfired on Ryan not to mention resulted in her getting her hand caught in the cookie jar for multiple RR's. Big Daddy 06:29, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
- I quote: "It means undoing the actions of another editor, and may include edits that mostly undo a previous edit and also add something new". Further, what you have failed to acknowledge is the much-discussed and disputed problem of too many negative quotes on the page. BD and others have often mentioned this. It is not like he came out of a clear blue sky. Anyone paying attention to the debate on that page -- and Ryan is one of them -- knows exactly why BD was making those changes. His intentions were clear to all assuming good faith.
- What people are also missing is Ryan's continued bullying, elbow-jabbing, and accusations of bad faith while making her 5RRs. She was fueling the war. She was disguising her reverts with her continued accusations. Look at the whole picture. I for one have not fallen for it. paul klenk 05:31, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
- Did you even read my response? I quoted the same exact sentence (Common Sense clause), and you quote it again like you're making a point. BigDaddy's intentions were no more clear in this case then it was when he deleted the bit about the USO tours joke from the Al Franken page, . He did the exact same thing there: made a rant about how he's not a "liberal who, under the auspices of 'just wanting to present facts' slimes and denigrates people in their encyclopedic entry." and then deleted valid content without an edit summary. He didn't "come out of the clear blue sky" though, you're right about that, he came out of something much worse, just like in the Al Franken article. 69.121.133.154 05:43, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
Excuse me Mr. or Mrs. Anonymous, You are distorting what I did with Al Franken. First of all, I did not 'deleted valid content without an edit summary.' It was INVALID content and I commented before doing anything. I removed a supposed 'famous' joke that was not funny and that was not famous whatsoever. In fact, it only served to cheap shot Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly. Sheesh it's not bad enough that Limbaugh and O'Reilly are mercilessly SLIMED on their own article...you defend it when people spread that kind of stuff in articles about OTHER people. I also pointed out how ludiculous I felt it was that in my first week at Misplaced Pages the one thing I learned was that in the O'Reilly article...Al Franken slimes O'Reilly and in the Franken article...Al Franken slimes O'Reilly. So ANY of your comments about me are now suspect as you have mischaracterized and or flat out slandered me and my actions twice in the matter of a couple paragraphs. Ps I think this anonymous person is the user Hippocrite. Can't say with absolute undertainty, but the venomous tone and the interjecting of herself in anything Big Daddy related certainly fits Hippocrite's pattern...Big Daddy 06:29, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, I read your response. You say, "BigDaddy's intentions were no more clear in this case..." Well, they were clear to me. Why to me and not you...? Because I was following the debate on the talk page, where he and others were repeatedly stating there was too many negative comments hat needed to be trimmed. I was paying attention, so was Ryan. She knew exactly why he made those deletions. She can't pretend otherwise. She is too clever by half. They were not out of the blue. Read and re-read the 3RR and the vandalism pages. In the context of the well-documented debate, which he and Ryan were having, the intentions behind BD's deletions were very clear. Ryan just didn't "like" them. paul klenk 05:52, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

- I have put the behavior up for review here. This is the correct page for this type of dispute. Glossing over what Ryan did doesn't mean it didn't happen. Five times in under 19 hours she undid the edits of others, after she was asked to keep track. Just admit it. And please help me work with Ryan to ensure she doesn't do it again. I do not appreciate everyone glossing over it. It won't kill you to admit I am right. paul klenk 05:58, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
