Comments: User:William Mauco is a [(personal attack removed)] who is pushing [(personal attack removed)] in all Transnistria related articles in Wikipedia. He is a [(personal attack removed)]. He has actually other two 3RR reports pending (this is the third!), where admins didn't yet took a decision: old 3RR violation on article "Transnistria", 3RR violation on article "Sherif (company)"--MariusM 01:37, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

This is Mauco. I don't like the personal attacks, and don't think that any decision should be based on who can yell the loudest or sling the most accusations. In this case, I was (again) not warned, but I don't see how the listed diffs can support the argument that there were four reverts. The first edit, of 03:24, will show that in particular, but please study not just that, but all four DIFFs and the whole page history of Transnistria for 3 Nov and 4 Nov. - Mauco 01:48, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

You are not a new user, you don't need to be warn. Why you consider personal attack the accurate fact that you wrote for "Tiraspol Times See end of article--MariusM 02:17, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Sfacets (talk · contribs), who has demonstrated a clear conflict of interest in regards the Sahaja Yoga articles by continually removing any source which contains negative information about the subject, is engaging in multiple bad faith reverts at the Sahaja Yoga and International Sahaja Public School articles, and using misleading edit summaries, such as deleting an entire hour's worth of changes with a complaint that the word "Hindu" was incorrect [5] The user has been engaging in this steady pattern of reverts for months. See Talk:Sahaja Yoga#Removed links and critical material. We've tried every other way of dealing with this user, but have no choice at this point but to request administrator intervention. --NovaSTL 05:51, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

• 4th revert: 00:14, 6 November 2006

Time report made: 03:12, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Comments: This is not a simple reversion. It is part of a wider content dispute, in which Fys has been seeking to split the article Westminster St George's (UK Parliament constituency). This split has been contested at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_UK_Parliament_constituencies#St_George.27s_Hanover_Square, and repeated requests have been made to User:Fys to stop making a unilateral split, and instead to discuss the issue. Instead, he said that "There is no further discussion possible: I have provided the conclusive, final, ultimate, clinching, and decisive evidence and argument." (see diff). No other editor supports Fys's view.
Some of the later edits introduce new information, but all of them revert the article to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Westminster_St_George%27s_%28UK_Parliament_constituency%29&oldid=84600126 insofar as it relates to the disputed issue, the constituency's name and date of creation.

Reported by SlimVirgin ^(talk) 07:36, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Comments

T00h00 arrived at Harvard referencing on October 18 and kept reverting to his version whenever elements from before the rewrite were re-introduced, with very long posts on talk that are hard to understand. User:Slrubenstein, who is knowledgable in this area, cleaned up the rewrite on November 4, but T00h00 continues to revert.

In particular, he keeps restoring: (a) "The Harvard referencing system consists of citations (in the text) and references (alphabetized in a References section)"; and (b) that the citation should be written as "(Deane 2001, 449–51)" — which is in fact just one way of writing citations.

Both elements were reverted to in the four reverts listed above, and in the previous version linked to. He was warned about 3RR on October 30. [19] SlimVirgin ^(talk) 07:36, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

• 10th revert: 20:10, November 8, 2006 (stated as rvv)

Comments: Edit comment was usually "rvv" (probably short for "reverting vandalism"). There is no plausible assertion of vandalism here. He was previously warned more than once on this article for 3RR and for false accusations of vandalsim. The changes may not be exactly complete reverts, but the changes made are

1. Removal of {{balance}} tag.
2. change of sublist from 1. / 2. / 3. to 1. / no index / 2. (which I believe to have orginally been a correction of a typo)
3. change of non-specific picture list (the order of pictures must match the order in the text) to his original contribution that the pictures must be the alpha / beta cities in a specified order from GaWC 1999. Some of the text (points by alphabetical) was already removed by a limited concensus.

— Arthur Rubin | (talk) 16:39, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Withdraw now, if allowable. I think I've figured out what he calls "vandalism", and it's arguable. I'm afraid we've both violated 3RR again since then, but perhaps (except for the tag) we've achieved concensus. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 19:14, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Comments: The user's only interest in the Christianity article is the brief reference to Muslim persecution of Christians, which he apparently feels should be expanded to include his reasons for believing Christians were better off ruled by Muslims. (I personally feel that using a mention of persecution as an occasion for praising the persecutors is indecent in addition to being poor content.) The first time around he removed Christianity from the Good Article list out of process, which the people associated with the Good Article project generally considered an abuse.

Actually, I'm not. I'm more than willing to submit to a Checkuser. Please get your evidence in order before throwing accusations out there. Also, seeing as that you reverted more that just the "Sock Puppets" you're supposedly fighting, you are 3rring. T Gholson 16:14, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Four different accounts perpetuating the same edit war on the same articles with the same editor, and it's all a coincidence, right? Checkuser is not required to prove sockpuppetry when the contribution evidence is overwhelming. This may be the first time you've tried to do something like this, but the hundredth or thousandth time we have seen it. Thatcher131 18:55, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Comments: Although this user has not made more than four reverts in a 24 hour period This user has been engaging in edit warring that is consisting of blanket/blind reverting that includes canceling out edits geared towards avoiding redirects as well as other beneficial edits. I tried to discuss the matter with the user to no avail. As things stand now this user has reverted across User:Évangéline, Myself, and User:ThePromenader. A gentle but firm admin warning could be helpful here. This editor has now made 4 5 reverts in 24 hours. (→Netscott) 19:42, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Here is the conversation I had with this user

Please dont revert a 6th time. I REALLY do not want to report you breaking 3RR. But if you do revert again I will have to. Please use talk page instead I beg you! There will be no more warnings on this issue :-( -- UKPhoenix79 23:41, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Here is the discussion I started and in which I participate:

Talk:V_for_Vendetta_(film)#Differences_between_the_film_and_graphic_novel_and_The_letter_V_and_the_number_5_.28aka_list_vs._text.29

(And, full disclosure, which I recently renamed.)

Also, make sure that you get all possible IP addresses. This is the largest ISP in Europe.

I'm stopping this now. While I'm convinced that my changes would have improved the article, I'm also convinced that anonymous users stand hardly a chance at contributing. You (collectively, this is not the first experience of this kind) do not accept changes to Wikipedia except from those that follow your social ideas. Whether or not my change would have ultimately proved the better solution, you two made my life here as miserable as you could manage in the short time. You should just stop the pretense and forbid anonymous edits altogether.

Anyway, good luck for the future. --217.235.249.52

Comments: This concerns the sentence "Many N-studies since then have confirmed the fact that the digestibility and biological value of soy protein for humans is comparable in nutritional value and quality to animal proteins" and its reference. Other editors including myself have tried to reword it and move it around to address his concerns, but he continues to revert. I am not blocking him myself because I am involved (I don't even remember how it happened because I have no actual interest in this subject), and will respect the decision of whichever admin reviews this report. This user is suspected of using socks in the past to avoid 3RR; he has not done that recently, however. --Ginkgo100 ^{talk · e@} 00:09, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Comment:

The policy:

1. Articles should contain only material that has been published by reliable sources.
2. Editors adding new material to an article should cite a reliable source, or it may be challenged or removed by any editor.
3. The obligation to provide a reliable source lies with the editors wishing to include the material, not on those seeking to remove it.

The sentence in the article was fantasy (vandalism) information propagated by an anon IP who is now blocked for vandalizing the soy protein article. In my defense I was merely complying with the policy of Wikipedia. I should be commended for spotting bogus information added in the article. The sentence has been ammended. I was correct it was false info. Ginkgo100 tried to reword the sentence that was false. However, Gingko100 admitted he did not read the book cited as the reference. He tried to reword something without understanding the facts. Now the sentence is talking about rats. Rats is totally different. The sentence reads differently now thanks to me. Regards. AndyCanada 03:47, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I was a third party in this dicussion. As was pointed out by Ginkgo100 during this discussion, removing text that is part of a content dispute is not vandalism. Ginkgo100 was patient through the edit war, even avoiding giving warnings when discussion became potentially uncivil. [43] AndyCanada was baiting other editors through edit summaries (including the "anon" IP mentioned above) while reverting, (ex: "bring it on!)[44] which I placed a warning about on the users talk page, along with a 3RR warning. This user has a history of sockpuppet use to dodge 3RR warnings. See [45]. Thanks. Yankees76 04:03, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

• These are just a sample of the many reversions Kiyosaki has made today. He has been warned extensively about 3RR before (User_talk:Kiyosaki#3RR_violation), and has been claiming others have violated it, so he's clearly familiar with the rule. Since being informed of the rule he's been making many complex reverts, rather than simple ones, in the hope that they confuse editors and slip in under the rader. Jayjg ^(talk) 19:45, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

There are multiple complex reverts going on between multiple parties. Have a read through this discussion here to understand some of the context and the various accusations going back and forth: User_talk:Kiyosaki#Request. Kiyosaki has also not been told that he is in a position of violating 3RR at this moment. --Deodar 22:16, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Comment As you can see, there is already a dispute tag, and I was reverting to that version encouraging talk.

This is not edit warring, nor is it reversion to a particular version of the page, but consensus-building, as there is already a dispute tag. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 18:19, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Three-revert rule violation on Wikipedia:Notability_(web) (edit | [[Talk:Wikipedia:Notability_(web)|talk]] | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Rrfayette (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log):

• Previous version reverted to: 11:55, 6 January 2006 (version without links to WP:V, WP:NPOV, WP:NOR and WP:CS in a "See also" section)

This is because I changed WP:V, WP:NPOV, and WP:NOR to WP:LOP, which essentially leads to the same materials--and is more concise--which was one of my attempts in revising that I had stated in the edit summary. Was there something wrong in doing this? WP:CS was also absent in the version I was revising. FactsOnly 10:37, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

• 1st revert: 06:04, 9 November 2006 (removed links to WP:V, WP:NPOV, WP:NOR and WP:CS from "see also" section - replaced by WP:LOP, which doesn't even list WP:CS)

Time report made: 10:08, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

User:Francis Schonken had made an equal amount of reverts when I had invited this person to write on my talk page, which he took almost an hour to reply. I fix any concerns he made have had, yet he kept reverting my edits for no just cause. The admin reviewing this may check my edits and see that there was nothing notably wrong with it, and as I posted on Wikipedia talk:Notability (web), I welcomed any improvements.

• From Wikipedia:Three-revert rule:

  The policy states that an editor must not perform more than three reversions, in whole or in part, on a single Wikipedia page within a 24 hour period.

  (not my bolding) - User:Rrfayette removed "* Wikipedia:Cite sources" 4 times from the page in less than 24 h. There's nothing wrong with the original 3RR violation report. --Francis Schonken 10:44, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Now he is simply being ridiculous. Look at that. He is interpreting my edits in a way to get me blocked. Labeling my initial revision a removal, and picking out only one section of my revision and manipulating it by saying I "removed" is hardly a reasonable case. There is everything wrong with the original 3RR report. FactsOnly 10:53, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

This was a 3RR break BUT you also broke the rule on the page Nehwyn - you reverted the 'previous version reverted to', and then have reverted on the following three reverts. Given that and given both of you have never broken it before. I'm going to protect the page and give you both a warning to be more careful in future. Robdurbar 13:49, 10 November 2006 (UTC) Actually, sorry. I don't believe that your first edit was a revert anymore. I'll still leave it protected - there's been a lot of edit warring on that page.

Comments: I have asked for him to engage in discussions and provide some substantiation for his perspective. I think this falls under WP:OWN and MisfitToys has behaved very poorly for someone who is an Admin. This has been very disappointing.

Obviously, I only reverted three times, and did not violate the rule. The notion that Tecmobowl has tried to engage me in discussion is ludicrous; he has systematically ignored all of my criticisms of his edits, even impulsively reverting my attempts to correct his faulty reference formatting. There's a long discussion at Talk:Jake Daubert in which I've already made my argumemts, and a few other editors have expressed agreement with most (if not all) of my positions. Tecmobowl has also accused me of abusing my position as an admin, though: 1) I haven't used any of my admin powers in this dispute (such as blocking, protecting or even using the rollback button); and 2) I never even mentioned being an admin; he's the only one who's tried to make it an issue. I've approached the situation solely as an editor. MisfitToys 20:48, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Wait a sec. The 1st isn't a revert, for all I can see. The 5th is a legitimate vandalism revert of an obvious abusive sockpuppet. I see no 3RR violation here.

This edit-war about typography is WP:LAME. I wouldn't have blocked, for the sheer lameness of it, were it not for the fact that Skyemoor has gone one reverting after this report was made.

Please contact Administrator Jossi for assistance in adjucating this matter. Administrator Jossi is familiar with the copyright violation and contributory copyright infringement asserted here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights#Linking_to_copyrighted_works Here is the Wikipedia policy. User Smeelgova is well aware that "France 3" television station holds copyright. The Wikipedia policy text is quoted below:

External sites can possibly violate copyright. Linking to copyrighted works is usually not a problem, as long as you have made a reasonable effort to determine that the page in question is not violating someone else's copyright. If it is, please do not link to the page. Knowingly and intentionally directing others to a site that violates copyright has been considered a form of contributory infringement in the United States (Intellectual Reserve v. Utah Lighthouse Ministry). Also, linking to a page that illegally distributes someone else's work sheds a bad light on us. If the site in question is making fair use of the material, linking is fine.

(In this case, it is a reference to Piratebay.org, and the only intent of the user is to inform Wikipedia users how to get illegally distributed copyrighted material. No one disputes that television station "France 3" holds copyright to this material.) Sm1969 01:37, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Here is a post on Admin Jossi's board regarding the contributory copyright infringement, in time order (10 Nov 2006, 22:42): http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jossi&diff=prev&oldid=87030198

And yet in spite of leaving this comment, the user Sm1969 did not wait, but instead continued to edit war and violate 3RR numerous times. Smeelgova 07:05, 12 November 2006 (UTC).

Quite the contrary, illegal links were being added so fast, neither Admin Jossi nor I could keep up with redacting them. I think Admin Jossi has grown tired of removing the clear Wikipedia policy violations. Look at the six examples you cite, Smeelgova. Sm1969 07:10, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Note here that User:Sm1969 continues to attempt to engage me directly, instead of discussing the issues at hand. Note again that User:Sm1969 did not wait, but continued to revert and violate 3RR, actually with other editors other than myself. Smeelgova 07:13, 12 November 2006 (UTC).

Look at the six examples. I did wait. They are crystal clear policy violations of Wikipedia and of US law. Sm1969 07:20, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, do look at the six examples of User:Sm1969's violations of 3RR. These are the violations of the 3RR edit warring policy. It is not User:Sm1969's duty to attempt to enforce what he believes to be violations. In fact, User:Jossi did step in, kept information from User:Sm1969's reverts, and the page is now at a more acceptable status. User:Sm1969 should not have reverted, and instead waited for other users to take action. Smeelgova 07:24, 12 November 2006 (UTC).

Indeed, they are obvious violations. All you need to do is look at the hyperlink starting with http:// right to the illegal videos in violation of Wikipedia copyright policy. It's not a matter of my belief--the left and right eyeballs only need to read http:, to know we are dealing with illegal links in violation of Wikipedia copyright policy, which is why Admin Jossi reverted these examples numerous times. This page needs protect or semi-protect status. Sm1969 07:45, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

• Just for the record, Fred's opinion was based on the false premise that the author was involved in 9/11 scholars for truth. The author is not a member of that group. This thing is a disaster; the usual wolfpack has swept en masse onto an article and started through strength of numbers to re-write to fit their POV. Don't know that it has much to do with 3RR, but I certainly understand Seabhcan's frustration. I have decided to give up editing articles at all for a while because I am so fed up with this crap.Derex 08:38, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
