****I don't particularly care whether or not he's blocked, but there's a reason this is AN/EW and not just AN/3rr.

    Welcome to the edit warring noticeboard

    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.

    User:Mimi C. reported by User:NCdave (Result: stale)

    Page: Ben Carson (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
    User being reported: Mimi C. (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)


    Previous version reverted to (diff): [1]

    Diffs of the user's reverts:

    1. [2] 19:15 Removed "where all 3rd and 4th year students receive scholarships in return for military committment," which had been inserted 23 minutes earlier, at 18:52, by Christo1234, as shown above
    2. [3] 19:59 "(Reverted 1 edit by Christo1234 to last revision by Cwobeel.)"
    3. [4] 20:48 "(Undid revision 689388498 by Christo1234 (talk) please see Wikipedia rules. Your revision is not supported by references, whereas, mine are. The title of the Politico article is not mentioned.)"
    4. [5] 20:50 "(reinserted "Carson's campaign conceded to Politico that he had never been offered a full scholarship")"

    At 20:51 (one minute after his own 3RR violation) Mimi C. posted a very harsh comment on Christo1234's Talk page, accusing him of disruptive editing and vandalism, and threatening him with being "blocked from editing." [6]

    At 23:47 I posted a comment on Mimi C.'s Talk page asking him to not be so harsh toward inexperienced editors: [7]

    18 minutes later, instead of responding, he simply deleted it (blanked the whole Talk page): [8]

    Subsequently, he has continued to edit the article; e.g.: [9]

    Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: [10]

    I am not involved in this edit war, but Christo1234 (whose edits Mimi C. reverted four times in 95 minutes) did try to resolve this dispute on the article talk page. Here's the diff of his/her attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [11]

    Christo1234 posted that at 20:39, which was 9 minutes before Mimi C.'s 3rd revert.

    At 20:44 (four minutes before Mimi C.'s 3nd revert) Christo1234's edit comment asked Mimi C. to "please see talk page" to discuss their argument: [12]

    The section Christo1234 created is still there; Unfortunately, Mimi C. did not reply (neither did anyone else): [13]


    Comments:

    What troubles me most is the way that Mimi C. treated an inexperienced editor. I don't know either of these editors, but Christo1234 rarely edits on Wikipedia. This was the first time (s)he had edited in nearly a year. He or she only edited on one day in 2014, and two days in 2013.

    Everyone on Wikipedia should be treated courteously, but inexperienced editors especially so, to encourage them to contribute. Instead, Mimi C. repeatedly reverted Christo1234's well-intentioned edits (four times in just 95 minutes), ignored his or her entreaty to discuss it on the Talk page, accused him or her of disruptive editing and vandalism, and threatened him or her with blocking.

    Wikipedia should be a friendly place. That was not friendly. That's the sort of treatment which causes editors to abandon Wikipedia for long periods of time. NCdave (talk) 06:41, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    From my POV: (note, this is concerning the Ben Carson article where conflicting stories were being reported about him throughout the day, causing confusion among editors).
    At the time, I found Christo1234's edits were unsubstantiated due to lack of proper references, his POV was biased towards the subject matter (which goes against the neutrality rules of Wikipedia) and quite a few grammar and punctuation issues were found in his sentences. I looked up his history and found that he had barely made any edits over the years. I had kindly asked him to please read Wikipedia rules. When Christo kept reverting back to his own erred edits, I had deduced (perhaps erroneously), that he was a troll which is why I sent out the (TW) Wikipedia Warnings of blocking to deter him from further editing, which he eventually did. I then received a note from NCdave, whom I don't know, and who was not involved in the edit war. I decided not to respond and went ahead and cleared my talk page (which I regularly do - I'm assuming I'm allowed to since it's my own?). I apologize if my actions appeared abrupt and I will be more patient and responsive in the future with editors. After being an editor for a long time on Wikipedia, and seeing common trends and trying to decipher if the person is trolling or not, we tend to jump to conclusions too easily, and forget that once, we were once Wiki novices too, in need of patience as well. Again, my apologies. Regards, --Mimi C. (talk) 10:19, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I haven't analysed these edits in detail, but this revert certainly seems inappropriate as you reintroduced poor grammar to the article. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:30, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Lol, good catch Martin!--Mimi C. (talk) 16:37, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    What are the criteria for dismissing a complaint as "stale?"
    I'd like to have at least seen some assurance from Mimi C. that (s)he will strive to be gentler on inexperienced editors in the future. Instead, he complained that "[Christo1234's] POV was biased towards the subject matter (which goes against the neutrality rules of Wikipedia)."
    That statement is manifestly false, because Christo1234's edits give no evidence of any bias for anything except truthfulness and even-handedness, and Mimi C.'s statement also shows that Mimi C. is still assuming bad faith on the part of Christo1234.
    In fact, Mimi C.'s edits to the article -- not Christon1234's! -- repeatedly inserted already-discredited and poorly-sourced negative material, despite Christo1234's Talk page objections, such as the false accusation that "Carson's campaign conceded to Politico that he had never been offered a full scholarship."
    Christo1234 complained, on the article Talk page, that "8) carson never "concedes" to politico anything, yet this word is then added to wiki story as fact and reverted to without explanation. / 7) the reversions being made by mimi c. do not contain any comments as to why, just reversions." Mimi C.'s response was no response, except to immediately reinsert the false material into the article.
    I'd like to have seen some indication that Mimi C. will refrain from such behavior in the future, before dismissing the complaint as "stale." NCdave (talk) 18:18, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    @NCdave: This noticeboard isn't for general conduct complaints; it's for edit warring and three-revert rule violations, not exorcising assumptions of bad faith or assessing what should or should not be used in an article. Please see WP:ANI, WP:DRN, and WP:M for the former; see the article's talk page (and if needed the requests for comment system) for the latter. --slakrtalk / 10:11, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Comments:
    The edit war was started by User:Plokmijnuhbygvtfcdxeszwaq here. I tried to keep the page in its original state. User:Phoenix7777 refused to engage in a discussion, claiming that there has already been reached an agreement while there is no agreement at all.

    Here is a discussion regarding the conflicting edits on the page: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Trans-Pacific_Partnership. I'm sorry that wikipedia's policy specifies that I can only try to preserve a page 3 times a day. Martinkunev (talk) 12:46, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    You are misunderstanding the word "agreement". The agreement means the TPP has been reached "agreement", not "controversial" reached agreement as I said "no consensus at all". So the word "proposed" is unnecessary.―― Phoenix7777 (talk) 12:53, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Whether the word "proposed" is appropirate is currently discussed in the talk. You removed the word "controversal" while there is an ongoing discussion whether it is appropriate. There have also been numerous tries to edit the article (I've mentioned some here) to make the agreement sound good (which violates NPOV). Martinkunev (talk) 13:16, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    I disagree with the warning. The only reason why I was warned is because at least three people were trying to change the page (the first one most likely not a genuine user) and I was the only one trying to keep its original content. Nobody bothered to engage in the already started discussion before making dubious changes. I was watching the page for more than a week in order to prevent vandalism. It's clear that some people's interests go against the objectivity of the article and there is evidence for such people (most notably User:CFredkin who has sockpuppeting history) making edits. Here are some examples:

    [24] # 20:24, 7 November 2015 C.J. Griffin . (85,655 bytes) (+1,839). (Undid revision 689504992 by CFredkin (talk) yes it is. We've been over this already.)

    [25] # 20:34, 7 November 2015 CFredkin . (83,816 bytes) (-1,839). (Undid revision 689508848 by C.J. Griffin (talk) after the last discussion in Talk, it was removed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Trans-Pacific_Partnership#Lead_paragraph_does_not_indic)

    There are several discussions related to this in the talk page.

    The edit that started the war, was made by User:Plokmijnuhbygvtfcdxeszwaq which is likely a sockpuppet account. After my first revert, User:Phoenix7777 made the following change (which sounds very much like the last edit of User:CFredkin and just like it makes an invalid argument).

    [26] # 14:39, 13 November 2015 Phoenix7777 . (86,941 bytes) (-23). (Undid revision 690444803 by Martinkunev (talk). no consensus at all. also as I said it has been reached agreement.)

    I reverted the change, explaining that "there is no such agreement" and started a user talk discussion. User:DiscantX made the change again claiming that I have to justify myself. Finally, me and User:DiscantX discussed the issue. I explained to him that I was the one keeping the content under question unchanged (until a decision is reached at the talk) and he was the one changing it. He agreed on that ("Okay, you're right there").

    User:Phoenix7777 never responded me in his user talk. At the end he accused me of violating the 3RR. As I said, I find his/her actions completely inappropriate.

    I'm writing all this because I have done nothing wrong. I want to contribute to wikipedia and instead of doing that I'm forced to waste more than 8 hours of my time defending myself while I've done nothing wrong and in the process, I have to also waste other people's time.

    At the end, the content of the page was changed (the word "controversial" was removed), without any discussion while there clearly are several opinions on the topic.

    A subsequent search of the IP's source on the Hulagu Khan article;
    reveals no mention of Hulagu's conversion to Buddhism, no mention of syphilis or ruptured aorta. This is the very issue the IP has edit warred over.

    Previous version reverted to: [30]

    Info/Background: This case has a LONG history; the user has been "camped out" on this article since 2013; their ONLY significant editing activity has been to remove uncomplimentary material from the article. Persistently. Repeatedly. With little or no rationale. The user isn't even pretending to be applying "BLP" anymore.

    The user has removed material added by multiple users; over years. I only got into this thing by noticing the user's activity.

    The user has gotten into multiple disputes & edit wars, with multiple users, over the years. The user has had 1 (& the same) sympathetic "buddy" backing him up in many of these; which has been sufficient to either "win" or at least keep them from being blocked from editing the article.

    Talking to him hits a blank wall; been there, done that, more than once.

    Opened yet another discussion on the article's talk page about it, no response; except to delete more material from the article, & I'm pretty sure the user is watching the talk page too.

    The diffs are legion. Here is the article's history:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Edward_Furlong&action=history

    If you do a word-search, "hillbillyholiday" comes up 27 times in the last 1000 edits. The overwhelming majority of those are for edits removing material (i.e.: material that is uncomplimentary to the subject). The only exceptions to this are a few additions of tags (to same type of content).

    ...& lets be clear: the factuality of the material IS NOT in serious dispute. ALL of this stuff is in the public record. It was said, it was done, etc. It is sourced & more sources are available; the range of sources being removed by this user negates any credible arguement of "RS". The edit-comments of the user range from moderately credible invocations of "RS" or "BLP" to point blank "WP:I don't like this".

    This has been going on for long enough. We are pretty free & easy with swinging the hammers @ Wikimedia these days (protect, block, ban, etc.), & we've lost a lot of good people that way. This is a case where action is LONG overdue; it would be nice to see some action in a case that actually deserves it.

    Comments:

    Addendum: If you look @ the user's overall contribs, this person also appears to be engaged in a minor campaign to eliminate any use of dailymail.co.uk as a source, from any article they come across. Unless we are going to formally blacklist the daily mail as an RS, the user really shouldn't be doing that. Not a blocking offense, but it does fall somewhere between a useless activity, & potential NNPOV source-bias nuisance. Lx 121 (talk) 03:59, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    comment: well i don't delete anything from my talk page, doing so makes a JOKE of "archiving"; but that issue is beside the point. i mentioned this action in order to demonstrate 2 things: i) that the user is aware of the situation, & ii) that the user is uncommunicative/unresponsive/uncooperative (pick whatever term you like best, to describe it).

    You give the impression of someone new to the ways of this project—for example, the Talk page history demonstrates both of these actions forever.

    actually i've been "here" since 2009, & i must have something like 15,000-25,000 edits "under my belt" by now, though more of them are @ wmc than @ wp/en; &, with all due respect, just because "for example, the Talk page history demonstrates both of these actions forever." -- that doesn't mean that it's a good thing. AND as i said in my post just above "i mentioned this action (ON the talkpage) in order to demonstrate 2 things: i) that the user is aware of the situation, & ii) that the user is uncommunicative/unresponsive/uncooperative (pick whatever term you like best, to describe it)."
    i appreciate the advice; but a) we are off on a tangent from the actual issue here, this is about a user who is "whitewashing" a biographical article; obviously, & repeatedly. with impunity. & b) if the community process @ wikipedia is really SO broken that it can long longer fix a simple, obvious problem like this one, then i really don't need to be spending my time @ wikipedia anymore. i have already drastically cut the amount of time i spend editing @ wikimedia projects, because i've been really turned off by how BADLY "the system" is working now. i can find other things to do. i can find more productive, useful things to do. & i'm certainly not the only user who feels that way; it looks like even a lot of the "dedicated" admins are going. a lot of the boards seem pretty dead, compared to what they used to be like a few years ago.

    No violation – It takes four reverts in 24 hours to break WP:3RR. If you have questions about the usability of sources you can ask at WP:RSN. EdJohnston (talk) 05:27, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    ...my complaint is about 'EDIT WARRING, NOT "3r" specifically. if you re-read my original post, you will find that i never even mentioned WP:3RR, JUST edit warring.
    "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 than 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."

    "back in the day" this [38] used to count as an "edit war".
    if we're NOT in an edit war, i'll just put the page back to the state it was in, before hillbillyholiday started chopping, AGAIN, & you can let me know when it counts as an edit war?
    otherwise do i need to RE-FILE this complaint, or can we have another review of this one; preferably by a different admin?
    Lx 121 (talk) 06:43, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    OR perhaps you could recommend another board, more relevant to this particular type of user-problem? Lx 121 (talk) 06:49, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I did not warn him this time as he knows 3RR well (is here regularly) and his threatening message on his talk page to all who dare challenge him says enough.

    The text cites this source for the failure - [48] I added the Independent article from October just as an addiional more recent source. The court case is back in the news and thus has renewed interest in the case (see spike in page views). My concern is that it is quite factually incorrect in the intro now, he is most certainly not presumed dead and this looks like an obvious goof to anyone who has come to the article after seeing it in the news.

    • Blocked – for a period of 72 hours I have blocked POD for 72 hours for continuing the edit war after this report was filed. Both POD and Wikimandia had engaged in edit warring prior to this report but Wikimandia had the sense to stop so I don't see the preventative value in blocking Wikimandia at this point. However I urge Wikimandia not to engage in further edit warring in the future, my decision not to block was a discretionary one and a block would be justified.

    User:Hanam190552 reported by User:Number 57 (Result: Blocked)

    Although they have't broken 3RR (yet), this user is edit-warring across multiple articles. This started when they attempted a cut & paste move of North Vietnamese parliamentary election, 1946 to 1946 Vietnamese National Assembly election. Once this was reverted, they have made multiple attempts to add dubious and biased ("unpatriotic Vietnamese") information to the article:

    Diffs of the user's reverts:

    1. First attempt to add such information
    2. Second attempt
    3. Third attempt

    At this point the article was locked after I made a request at WP:RFPP. As a result, they then started editing the article that they had created via the cut & paste move:

    1. First recreation (after the cut & paste move had been undone)
    2. Second recreation

    In addition to this, they have been repeatedly making inappropriate edits to {{Vietnamese elections}}, namely removing the pre-1946 elections (probably to back up their claim that the 1946 elections were the first in Vietnam), changing the link for the 1946 election to the title they cut & pasted the article to, and changing North Vietnam and South Vietnam to Democratic Republic of Vietnam and Republic of Vietnam, despite the fact that the latter two redirect to the former two:

    1. First attempt
    2. Second attempt
    3. Third attempt

    Whilst this has been going on I have been attempting to get them to stop this and discuss (see User talk:Hanam190552#Cut & paste moves) but sadly it has not stopped them from continuing to cause problems on the articles. I note that they were blocked twice in October for edit warring at Vietnam-related articles. Number 57 16:57, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Comments:
    This editor has been single-handedly trying to suppress otherwise unanimous consensus that the material should stay (in this article as well as at International reactions to the November 2015 Paris attacks). Consensus can be witnessed at: [71] [72] [73]. I think the less-than-pleasing attitude of this editor can also be witnessed in the same places (except #1, where he didn't participate, and which formed the initial consensus). He self-reverted after the 4th revert, but at this point I think that was not done in good faith, since he subsequently sent me a counter edit-warring warning after that. Therefore, I decided to report anyway, considerin also the reverts / removals of content from the sub-article. LjL (talk) 00:16, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Jeez freakin crist.
    No, I have not been trying to "suppress" anything. I've removed material which is off-topic and which was based on a misrepresentation of a source.
    No, there is no "unanimous consensus" that the material should stay. There's two editors, one of them LjL, who disagree. These two users have not really engaged in productive discussion here nor have they asked for outside input.
    I did self-revert here because, as much as I disagree with the edit, I'm perfectly willing to wait for this to sort itself out. Basically what you got here is two editors who are rushing to add irrelevant and off topic material about the tragedy in Paris, with what looks like a pursuit of an agenda (blame the refugee crisis for it). Per WP:NOTNEWS there's no reason why this material MUST BE in the article now. One of them is also misrepresenting a source. I do think that in a week or two this will sort itself out as it becomes apparent that these are just sensationalist statements from some politicians. I guess in the meantime Wikipedia's going to look a bit more foolish.
    Now, this report by User:LjL is clearly in bad faith as they acknowledge that I self-reverted. Somehow apparently, in LjL's world, the fact that I self reverted is proof that "I am not acting in good faith". Good grief! Catch-22. Seriously, filing a 3RR report on someone after they voluntarily self reverted pretty much IS THE DEFINITION of acting in bad faith and of having a WP:BATTLEGROUND attitude to editing. Worthy of a WP:BOOMERANG.
    This is basically an attempt at intimidation. And speaking of bad faith, here is LjL trying to WP:CANVASS other editors to edit war for them "Can you please" revert for me? If that's not trying to WP:GAME the edit warring policy I don't know what is. Volunteer Marek  01:43, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    "There's two editors, one of them LjL, who disagree": this is completely inaccurate. Please check the 3 links given for many more editors. LjL (talk) 01:49, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    In the link you provide, one other editor says its notable, another says it may be notable but doesn't know about reliability of the source, and the third has a question about the phrasing ("who"). You call that "clear consensus", which is... false. Basically, the discussion HAD JUST STARTED, but you went running around immediately claiming "consensus". Which illustrates your battleground mentality.
    And then you tried to get other people to do the edit warring and reverting for you. Which illustrates your battleground mentality.
    And then, you obviously OBSERVED that I self-reverted and reported ANYWAY. Which also illustrates your battleground mentality.

    Edit warring on the article by LjL

    First, just so we're clear, here's the definition of a revert: " An edit or a series of consecutive edits that undoes other editors' actions—whether in whole or in part—counts as a revert. "

    Let's pause here. That last 4th revert ... is actually EXACTLY the same edit that I made! For some reason however, when I made it, LjL decided to revert it. Puzzling, no?

    Ok, now back to LjL's edit warring:

    Note these three are reverts of essentially the same material.

    Again, these are reverts of same nature.

    Four reverts on the same issue/text.

    (this edit essentially resumes the edit warring in 8th, 9th and 10th reverts)

    Both on same theme.

    Note that I have NOT included reversion of vandalism, constructive edits or even edits which were not clear reverts - these are NOT all the edits that LjL has made on the article, only the edit warring ones. All 19 of the above diffs are reverts made by User:LjL within the last 24 hours and they involve participation in at least 3 different edit wars (plus a few stray reversions of others). Furthermore I limited this to the past 24 hours but there was plenty of reverting before that as well.

    It seems completely disingenous for LjL to report me for edit warring even though they KNEW that I had self-reverted my last edit, and AFTER they've been busy edit warring like crazy for the past 24 hours, have broken 3RR in a number of edit wars and not once even considered self reverting themselves. The frequency of the edit warring, aside from being an extreme transgression of the three revert bright line also illustrates a bit of ownership problem on the part of the user.

    The reason why I am not filing this as a separate report is because unlike LjL I try to act in good faith. However, I do wish to note that after I looked at the history of the page I considered filing a report on LjL due to the high frequency of edit warring on this article but decided to warn them first instead. To pay me back, it looks that LjL decided to file this report against me PRE-PREEMPTIVELY (further evidence of WP:OWN and WP:BATTLEGROUND attitude).  Volunteer Marek  04:29, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    I'll leave it to the admin to gauge using their best judgement whether a collection of mostly unrelated edits on a high-traffic article that has had a number of hard-to-follow inaccuracies introduced is equivalent to what I posted about you. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find any non-drive-by editor who hasn't technically "undone whether in whole or in part" other edits on this article in the past few days. I also "appreciate" how, by not filing a separate report, you have neglected to send me the compulsory notice that I'm being reported for edit warring.
    Note that I had expressed concerns about 1RR sanctions and strict interpretation of revert rules before, and in response, those restrictions were lifted by Fuzheado (while Volunteer Marek was actually asking for full article protection). Not quite the same thing as 4 reverts of the same material, ignoring of consensus and yelling all over the place, in my book. LjL (talk) 15:09, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    It's not just "mostly unrelated edits", it's about four different edit wars. There's no exemption from 3RR for "high traffic articles". However, I do understand that in a new article sometimes people get caught up in reverting others like you did here. That's fine. But then you run and file a report on somebody else the first chance you get. It's some kind of "edit warring is fine for me but not for thee" mentality. And that is a problem. Volunteer Marek  18:21, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    You seem to be involved in numerous arguments, Marek, and your behaviour is very much rude: you attack people, you swear, you are even blasphemous.

    Edit warring by new editor to include future events in article - written in a mildly promotional tone. Have attempted resolution samtar {t} 14:27, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    I have made several attempts to contact samar on his talk page with zero response or explanation behind the removal of my revert. I have not edited since he asked me not to. The section he wants to remove should not be removed. I will continue not to be disruptive and cautious with my editing. ThanksRockhound57 (talk) 14:33, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    I have replied Rockhound57 - as I stated, this is now a discussion on your edit warring and not nessesarily the content you are disputing samtar {t} 14:40, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    The changes borderline on vandalism. They clearly disfigure the article. This could have easily been a dispute (albeit with serious WP:COMPETENCE issues) has it not been for the user's unwillingness to do anything besides hitting the revert button.

    User:Mulkhan is a single purpose user who refuses to cooperate, i.e. discuss the issue on the article talk page and instead prefers edit warring.--Երևանցի talk 15:22, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    The edits were made because the potentially libellious material was being repeatedly inserted; talked in the talk page until it's carried on to the discussion board, please refer to that page. For keeping the discussion in one place; the link to the discussion was posted in the relevant place in the "controversies section" until all policy issues are made clear. The edits were made according to the reasons stated in edit summaries and per policy issues stated in the discussion board. Mulkhan (talk) 15:46, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    
    You, and yourself only, are the only user that stands by your own words. There's at least five users ([94][95][96][97][98]) who disagree with you and would like to keep the article at its previous and more stable state. Please be reasonable, utilize the talk page, discuss, and stop the edit-warring. It's pretty simple. Étienne Dolet (talk) 16:23, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    See also here and here for history of edit warring/disruptive editing. Mohsin17 does not have any interest in discussing as evident by the number of editors who Mohsin17 has been edit warring with on multiple pages. Instead he/she accuses the other editors of being for example racist or Islamophobic. I know List of slums in Pakistan and List of tallest buildings in Pakistan isn't as recent, but I'm including it just to highlight Mohsin's edit warring history.

    The editor has not technically violated 3RR this time around but I feel that this a continuation of a previous incursion rather than a fresh one and the behavior should not be tolerated when he makes no effort to discuss the issue on the talk page. Also, while not relevant to this case but perhaps relevant to a review of his conduct the editor was again blocked for disruptive behavior at an entirely unconnected article on October 24 for three weeks: [155]. This means he has actually resumed an edit war coming straight off another block. Betty Logan (talk) 06:42, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    The user has just come off a three-month block for uploading incorrect or misleading flags and coats of arms (and then edit warring to substitute them in a large number of articles). Within 24 hours, not only have they resumed the same edit wars that led to the block, but they've also started a new one at Cyprus. Here are just some examples:

    The user is uncommunicative except for nonsensical edit summaries. Probably a competence issue. See also Commons:Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems/Archive 53#LiXuanze.

    The user keeps reverting the page to the version with his file which is an exact duplicate of File:World marriage-equality laws.svg (I have already reported it on Wikimedia Commons for that reason) even though I have explained on the edit comments that the file is a duplicate and that the other file shows no other difference. I also warned him that he will be reported if he reverts one more time, however that did not stop him from doing so. Turnless (talk) 18:30, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    This IP has been blocked before for identical edit warring - removing Articles for Creation templates, history, and reviewer comments from this draft. Unfortunately, when that 31 hour block expired, the IP resumed edit warring within a few days, despite reiterated warnings on their talk page not to do so, and repeated restorations of the AfC material by myself and another AfC reviewer.

    Comments:
    The previous block had no lasting effect on the IP's behavior. They continue not to engage in discussion and have extended the scope of their disruptive behavior to a second draft, Draft:Nayan-Apon Production. The AfC process would benefit from a longer block or whatever other intervention would stop the edit-warring. Worldbruce (talk) 18:30, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Comments:Plus several personal attacks, some in edit summaries, others in text. User has been blocked several times for both personal attacks and edit warring. Dave Dial (talk) 20

    • /sigh, I really am surprised to see an experienced user editwarring with me in my own userspace when I hadn't started reverting his comments until they'd hit the level of just insulting. Kevin Gorman (talk) 20:34, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • As Cassianto his final reversion, he has not breached 3RR (See point 1 of WP:3RRNO) He did this five minutes before this report was filed, which makes me wonder why that very pertinent fact wasn't included in the initial report, except to show a very distorted and incorrect view of events. – SchroCat (talk) 20:43, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • That is absolutely inconsequential. Add in the other edits with personal attacks, and the fact that edit warring is not only defined by breaking 3RR, the editor should obviously be blocked for edit warring AND personal attacks. Both of which the editor has been blocked numerous times for. Dave Dial (talk) 20:44, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • Rubbish in many ways.
          1. Self-reversion is always taken into account. It shows an editor has stepped back from their position. This is the board for reporting breaches of 3RR: because of the self-reversion this user has notbreach 3RR.
          2. A users prior block log has little to do with deciding if they have edit warred in the first place, and I wonder why you are so keen to throw it round quite so much. The block log may be used to determine the severity or subsequent action, but not if an infringement has taken place. – SchroCat (talk) 20:50, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
          • I don't particularly care whether or not he's blocked, but there's a reason this is AN/EW and not just AN/3rr. Editwarring in a user's own talk space throwing in personal attacks when you start doing so after the user reverts someone who is categorically unwelcome in his talk space is, well, editwarring - even without breaking 3rr. Note that I'd been perfectly happy to engage with Cassianto in my userspace before he started in on the NPA type stuff. It should be obvious to anyone who didn't start editing yesterday that restoring what is at best uncivil behavior in another person's talkspace after they've reverted it is a no-no Kevin Gorman (talk) 20:59, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • OK, a different forum, but one Gorman can't revert on. Kevin, why don't you answer my question with regards to who actually started the gender issue on RO's ANI thread? I see your pal Dave Dial has filed this for you; a report which is inadequate seeing as I only reverted twice. Still, never let the facts get in the way of a good conspiracy.
