• I'm not seeing how the first edit is a revert, especially since the version reverted to given is the same edit. Heimstern Läufer 03:13, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Got confused with the date, I changed it. His first revert was indeed happneed on 1600 hrs 30 April, not 0000 hours 1 May, which was the second similiar reverting of chronologically order. Eiorgiomugini 05:23, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm not convinced that's a revert. But it is an edit war from both sides. Article protected. ··coelacan 10:26, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Whether it was a revert war or not he still exceed the 3RR rules, so is it better for you to make a block. Eiorgiomugini 05:16, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

None of these above are not clear violation of 3RR rules, is all within a period of 24hrs, I don't see why he shouldn't be blocked for so, and should be let go. Eiorgiomugini 05:58, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Blocks are to be preventative, not punitive. Since the article is protected, there is no more need for prevention and thus there's no reason to block. Heimstern Läufer 06:05, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Comments

Four clear reverts in just over three hours to a version containing the expression "pictures of hopelessness," despite objections on talk. User has been warned about 3RR many times and blocked for it once. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 02:38, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

• Blocked for 24 hrs. FeloniousMonk 02:58, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Might this warrant another look? If you look at the 4th revert, G-Dett didn't actually replace the previous edit, which was a quote, but instead tried a paraphrased version that hadn't previously been used. This was also in keeping with Jayjg's suggestion in talk that a paraphrase was the more appropriate way to go about it.[12] There are further issues here, but as a matter of the spirit of 3RR and even a technicality, I'm not sure a newly created paraphrase that happens to include some text from the older direct quote is a revert. For what it's worth, G-Dett was also extensively using the talk page. Mackan79 04:12, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
    • It's as clear a 3RR violation as you could find. The suggestion on talk was that we paraphrase the author's position, which had already been done. G-Dett insisted instead on inserting the phrase "pictures of hopelessness," which has nothing to do with the author's argument, and did it five times in just over three hours, despite objections. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 04:17, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
      • Yes, you're noting the three words, but the fact is that those words were part of a larger paraphrase, which indeed was in keeping with Jay's suggestion, and a clear attempted compromise. Even speaking to the technical rule, though, I'm also not sure this is a clear violation. By rule, a revert can be as little as a single word, but if the word is in a different format (such as a different sentence), then it clearly isn't one. Here, your and Jay's objection was to the direct quote, with a suggestion that the material instead be paraphrased. I don't believe you said anything about that phrase. To then call the paraphrase a revert because it contained three of the same words doesn't seem reasonable. Considering you also reverted the page three times during the period with far less explanation, though, I'd think another look might be warranted. Mackan79 05:01, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
        • I'm inclined to go with SV's position...4 reverts, not including the initial edit that included it, is intentionally disruptive, even if he's changing it up a little, the intent is still there. 3RR is not intended to keep out content, it is intended to prevent edit wars. ⇒ SWATJester ^{Denny Crane.} 06:16, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
          • Thanks for the response. Looking through it again, I saw that Jayjg's invitation was actually more explicit yet, though, as seen here.[13] "Again, the quotation doesn't seem to be about Pallywood at all, and its best not to invent quotations from foreign language sources, but instead paraphrase their contents. Jayjg (talk) 01:57, 2 May 2007 (UTC)" This is, then, exactly what G-Dett did[14] I don't know if Slim had seen that; does that perhaps change the situation? Mackan79 08:30, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
            • Mackan, you always do this when you or someone you agree with politically violates 3RR. Jay was saying the text was fine as it was. G-Dett kept restoring that phrase either with or without quotation marks, over objections, even though it had nothing to do with Pallywood, the subject of the article. S/he added it once and restored it four times in just over three hours, which is a 3RR violation. There's nothing complicated about it. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 08:36, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
              • I think if you can't see the problem here, you must be overly caught up in the situation. When Jayjg directly tells G-Dett that it's best to instead paraphrase the quote's contents, you can't report her for 3RR when she then does so. 3RR is about edit warring, not inviting someone to do something and then saying "gotcha" when they accept your compromise. The block is clearly a mistake; I hope this doesn't take a great deal further ado. Mackan79 09:04, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
                • He doesn't tell her to paraphrase; he says it has already been done, and he asks her to leave it. This is my last response, because this is what you always do, and it goes nowhere. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 09:14, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
                  • You are talking about a previous edit, not the most recent one in which he suggested it is what she should do with the particular quote.[15] As noted above, it was following the recent suggestion that she went ahead and did so, in very clear and modest fashion, and specifying why in her edit summary.[16] Considering your own edit warring on the page, I find it disappointing that you would be so insistent on this, as well as that you continue to make unwelcome and unjustified personal comments toward me, but I hope again that the clear mistake can simply be corrected. Mackan79 09:44, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
                    • Having come across User_talk:G-Dett#Blocked. This seems to me to be a borderline case, as to whether blocking is warranted. The last edit seems to have been an attempt at compromise then a deliberate revert. G-Man * 22:32, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
                    • Indeed. SV and Jayjg "ideological adversaries" have found themselves subject to these kinds of borderline blocks before, which is why Mackan79 has commented before. I know because I was the subject of one myself. Tiamut 10:15, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Continually restoring an unsourced article with large amount of negative information about a living person, despite me telling her this on her talk page and raising the matter on WP:ANI. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 04:31, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I have explained on several occasions why Hackney's actions are unjustified by the policy he purports to cite. Despite several attempts to get him to address my reasons for reverting, he has not done so beyond "I am right and I will revert you until doomsday". In doing so, he has himself significantly overrun the 3RR rule. Perhaps I should have left the matter wait, but I am disinclined to leave a previously fine article in an abhorrent state because of someone dogmatically deciding to get their way regardless.

While there may or may not be justification for the removal of fair use images, it is not a clear-cut policy matter at this point. (Especially due to the ongoing, yet-to-be-resolved discussion of the matter) In essence this is a content dispute based on differing interpretations of policy, which is in no way exempt from WP:3RR. -- Y|yukichigai (_ramble argue ^check) 05:46, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

• As an admin, personally, I would likely never block someone for removing fair use images under 3RR...protecting Wikipedia from potential copyright issues is something that should never be punished. However, inserting them, is another story, for which I would block under disruption. I'm not as neutral on the subject as I'd like to be, however, my outside opinion is that no block should be issued. ⇒ SWATJester ^{Denny Crane.} 06:13, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

  The problem I have with that is that the WP:3RR policy doesn't make any exception for "protecting Wikipedia from potential copyright issues." Lots of things can be potential copyright issues. What is allowed is enforcing policy, and as I've said before, policy doesn't explicity allow or deny the inclusion of fair use images in lists. Until it does neither side can be said to be enforcing policy, but enforcing an interpretation of policy. That isn't allowed under 3RR by design, because if differing interpretations of policy were sufficient justification for unlimited reverting we'd have edit wars that dragged on for months. Now I'll admit I do fall in the "fair use images in some lists is okay" camp, but regardless of my opinion on that matter I realize at this point that it is an opinion, an interpretation of policy. I do not feel entitled to revert a page infinitely to preserve those images I deem okay, and I would expect to be banned for violating 3RR if I did so. The same should be true for editors on the other side of the argument. -- Y|yukichigai (_ramble argue ^check) 06:43, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

  I'm not saying that id does make such an exception. However, inserting fair use pictures can clearly be seen as disruption in some instances: removing them is much more likely to be seen as good editing. As such, as an admin, I use my discretion, and I would not block under 3RR for someone who was removing fair use images that are repeatedly being inserted. Nobody is "entitled" to revert anything. I'm just saying, that while I lean towards saying "no block for removing RFU images", I'm not going to be the one in this case to close the report and say "OFFICIALLY" no block. I'm merely offering my opinion to whichever admin closes this. ⇒ SWATJester ^{Denny Crane.} 07:21, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

(unindent) Also, while you correctly note that nobody is entitled to revert, editors should be expected to err on the side of protection against copyvio and in this case, that appears to be what was done. ⇒ SWATJester ^{Denny Crane.} 07:23, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

• Note: however, I did block anonnymouse (incorrect spelling) for using an anon IP to violate the 3RR: he was WELL aware of the rule having been blocked at least 3 times before it, and being warned at least twice for other violations of it. Further, his rationales show reversions based on a lack of understanding of policy (he claimed that administrators create consensus, among other things). See the page history for details. ⇒ SWATJester ^{Denny Crane.} 07:29, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

3RR doesn't allow an exception for removing nonfree images (which are not forbidden by policy) - whether any given nonfree image is justified is a content dispute, which specifically is not exempted by 3RR. And nonfree images aren't a copyright issue, the justification for removal isn't copyright infringement, it's wikipedia's nonfree policy, which is more strict than US copyright law. This is a clear case of 3RR violation and should result in a block. --Minderbinder 12:54, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

It does cover vandalism, which this very clearly is. -M^ask? 14:16, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

You say that, but I've yet to hear any justification for how adding images to an article is vandalism. These aren't unrelated images, they are screencaps from each of the episodes listed. There is no part of the Wikipedia policy on vandalism that the edits in question go against, and I challenge you to explicitly cite any part of the vandalism policy that says differently. -- Y|yukichigai (_ramble argue ^check) 20:24, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Ridiculous. You should be ashamed of yourself for sinking to calling a content dispute "vandalism". --Minderbinder 15:05, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

"Non free images aren't a copyright issue?" Oh, well I guess we can get rid of that pesky little GFDL and copyright violation policy then. Fair use is a HUGE copyright issue....ever hear the Betamax case? It was a landmark supreme court case regarding....badum ching! Fair Use! ⇒ SWATJester ^{Denny Crane.} 19:05, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

There is no content 'dispute'. There is content not allowed to be posted that was readded. Copyvios are not disputes, they are required to be removed. -M^ask? 00:28, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

These are not copyright vios, these are a situation where wikipedia policy is more restrictive than copyright law. It's also a situation where what is allowed is open to interpretation. By the way, I removed the personal attack you made, please don't do it again. --Minderbinder 21:55, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Blocking for 12 hours. Whether or not the images were allowed to be there, they've been entrenched for a while and I count six reverts. Go for a page protect next time. This not exempt from 3RR, and is unacceptable. Majorly (hot!) 00:41, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

• Previous version reverted to: *Page was speedy deleted due to being an attack, no history*

*Page was speedy deleted due to being an attack, including a person's phone number, no history* Otto0612 added a females phone number to the Sarah schlachter article three times in rapid succession before the article was deleted. This is of great concern because Otto0612 was using wikipedia to victimize another person.

This is not completely a clear-cut case, as the first revert was done by the user while she wasn't logged in, and thus I self-reverted the last time; however, common sense says that the anon and Kataimiko are clearly the same as their edits are the same. She is changing the Sakura Haruno biography to a horribly written fanfic-style gush full of speculative brouhaha. Note that her only previous edits to Wikipedia are to bash Maile Flanagan (the English dub VA of Naruto Uzumaki). JuJube 08:38, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Cydevil38 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log): Time reported: 22:46, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Complicated because of the interplay of the infobox and the article. I tried to group the changes to both together. I hope I didn't miss any, it was tough to get sorted out; even if a couple of the reverts don't count, there's still 3RR violation happening and he's clearly involved in a serious edit war with at least 3 or 4 other editors on the page. Note the link where he "compromised" still had the effect of removing the references he didn't like.

I don't see alot of real reverts. Certainly not more than 3. --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 08:58, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Please note that while the word "Korean" is minor, it's being debated very heatedly and is indeed a "real revert"--I marked four easy ones to see, and as Endroit mentioned he's been blocked for 3RR before that with his other account. Komdori 13:07, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

I'll let someone else handle it. Partial reverts are not my forte. --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 13:13, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

This is a very dishonest attempt to frame me of violating the 3RR. The 2nd and 3rd revert are in fact a single "revert" which consists of consecutive edits on what Komdori calls the "same page" in a time frame of 12 minutes with no interruptions by other editors in the contents under my editing.

Initial edit at 22:03[23] Three consecutive edits from 22:03 to 22:08[24] Intermittent edit by another editor to non-related content at[25] Initial edit at 22:12 on Goguryeo infobox [26] One consecutive edit from 22:12 to 22:14[27] Two consecutive edits after the intermittent edit by another editor from 22:13 to 22:15[28]

And the fourth "revert" was an edit to a content added by myself in the 2nd revert, so it was in fact a self-"revert". The edit where that passage was written:[29] The fourth "revert":[30]

And this so-called "6th revert" is an exact duplicate of the "4th revert".

The fourth "revert": [31] The "sixth revert": [32]

And the "7th revert" has been made more than 20 hours after the last edit.

So in sum, the only reverts that count are the 1st, 2nd and 5th. If there are any rules against abusing the system with intentionally fabricated/distorted evidence, such rules should apply to Komroi's attempt to frame me of 3RR violation. Cydevil38 04:51, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

• 4th revert: [38]

User:Viriditas is an experienced editor who is aware of 3RR. The user has been engaging in edit-warring, reverting content without citing references, pushing a POV not supported by citable references. Although this is not the place for it (except as a possible motivation for having violated 3RR), the editor has been uncivil, resorting to personal attacks and WP:POINT when others point out citable evidence that contradicts the edits. The article is suffering from it. Note that the 4th revert is an attempt to sidestep the same citable proof that was reverted before.

Note: Numbers 3 and 4 are two consecutive edits, hence not technically a 3RR violation. But this is a long drawn out edit war over several days, with lots of tinkering over a trivial detail, where both parties seem to be equally at fault. I count at least 5 reverts in 3 days by Arcayne, and several edits more that are all designed to undo work by Variditas. Fut.Perf. ☼ 17:35, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, FutPerf is missing most of the picture here. Viriditas sought to include uncited (and then maintain) uncited information in the article. You failed to mention that during these edits, I was polite enough to not violate 3RR. Edits 3 and 4 are not consecutive edits, but are instead instended to sidestep 3RR by reverting cited information with - again - uncited information. A 3RR block is to protect the article; preventing uncited information from being continually and repeatedly introduced is a protective action. And not once was I impolite about the edits or removing the uncited edits; the same cannot be said by the violater named in the complaint. While the perception is that the edits are designed to undo work only by Viriditas, it should be said that Viriditas is currently the only person offering uncited data that needs reversion. Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 17:58, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

• Fut.Perf. is correct. 3 and 4 are consecutive and thus could only be considered one revert. Heimstern Läufer 21:44, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

• Diff of 3RR warning: 15:29, May 3, 2007

I decided not to block this user myself as I am directly involved. While WP:3RR does say that "Normally, reverting by a user within their own user space" is exempt, in this case the user is attempting to portray a dispute out of context in an essay like fashion. I personally feel that not even allowing discussion on the talk page about this expository piece of work is contrary to WP:NOT#SOAP, WP:OWN and the spirit of WP:3RR. I ask that an uninvolved admin look at this. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 17:08, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

I reverted at my user-space HighInBC after keep telling him not to add material there. I asked [41] from User:William M. Connolley before reverting him last time. He said that "Repeatedly posting to someone elses talk page when asked not to is impolite. You cannot really violate 3RR on your user space William M. Connolley 16:08, 3 May 2007 (UTC)" and then I reverted him again. I at least have not violated any policy intentionally and even confirmed from a person who is most active 3RR maintainer before reverting HighInBC. Rest is on you, to block me or not. --- A. L. M. 17:26, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree you may have gotten some bad advice leading to the final revert. WP:3RR is a bit ambiguous about the issue of userspace. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 17:28, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

When I create any article on main space then many people say first create on your user space and then on main space. Now I am trying to work under my user space and still WP:NOT#SOAP does not leave me alone. Let me first please complete it without interruption (like created by HighInBC) and rewrite it. It will be changed a lot and will be a well-written/balanced article. --- A. L. M. 17:45, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

My opinion is that this shouldn't be 3RR; and if the page is too offensive to be allowed to live then it should go through AFD William M. Connolley 19:19, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

I concur. Heimstern Läufer 21:46, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Listed at WP:3rr as an excecption: Normally, reverting by a user within their own user space. GDonato (talk) 22:21, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

ALM has taken to removing most warnings from his talk page, for example this memorable one (count the diffs) among many others.[42]. The most likely purpose of this is to ensure that other administrators reacting to the very same mode of disruption across multiple articles are unaware that he has already been requested to stop. For example, this recent warning from Elonka is a standard template, as if this advice to refrain from edit-warring werent something with which he was already more than adequately acquainted. ALM removed it, then restored it, perhaps when he realized that Elonka is an administrator.[43]Proabivouac 23:31, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

I have removed everything from my talk page. That is my right. You stop assuming things about me. --- A. L. M. 08:32, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

There has never been a 3RR violation on personal userpages, as far as I know(well at least in the last year). --Aminz 08:37, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree, this may be an issue for ANI if it keeps up. But as 3RR is now, it is unlikely to be a 3RR issue. I think that whole section on the userpages being exempt needs some qualifiers, perhaps I will propose a change soon. ^High_InBC^{(Need help? Ask me)} 14:05, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

[49] by Nikola Smolenski who was asked by this user to help him.

I would like to say that this user doesn't want to cooperate. He keeps pushing unreliable sources per WP:RS, and replacing previous version of the article. I think this user is radical Serb and insults all other users in Bosnia related articles (I think his behaviour is in the light of previous war between Serbia and Bosnia and genocide commited by Serbs in Srebrenica). He insults Bosniaks the same way Serb war criminals did before. Here are some insults and other examples: now some other idiot has hooked into me, my toilet paper is better source, because I don't care about tuzla having a good, rigorously sourced article, I tried for protection, but administrator seems to think we should discuss with this vandalistic idiot. Examples about anti Bosnian sentiment: Removal of some sentences related to Anti-Bosniak sentiment etc.

I ask you to stop this radical Serb, because many victims of Serb terror are horrified watching his horsing in this encyclopedia. Unlike him, some users are insisting on reliable sources (courte decisions, courte reports) not war propaganda already seen during the war. Thank you and God bless you.

I didn't look into the actual content of the reverts, but a few things--please provide the diff times (I looked, it appears they happened over the course of several days, and wouldn't qualify for a 3rr violation). I also didn't see a 3rr warning on his page (although I just glanced--there is no link to one here in any case). Including this information will speed things along. Komdori 19:23, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

I also added two earlier edits (30th April and 1st May) and the rest are (3rd May) in order to show the continuous pattern.

The reversion pattern is the same as reported above (resulting in article semi-protection) and is probably the same user. The talk page has a clear appeal for discussing the issue, but the serial reverter has ignored every such attempt.

• Blocked for 24 hours. It seems clear this is the same user as the anon from before, or else influenced by that editor, so I am in this case not concerned that the 3RR warning came after the last revert. Heimstern Läufer 03:30, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

• 4th revert: 04:07, 4 May 2007

Discussion is taking place and has been taking place on the talk page of what to name rename the article to because, currently the case is not factual. I've pointed out to the user:Cfvh to discuss at the talk page and not revert or he would be reported, however user continues to ignore, and revert without discussing or waiting for discussion to run its course. When user was informed not to start edit war he said:

 Feel free to report me, I feel that I have sufficiently supported why my position is correct. If 
 you are trying to discuss what it "should" be called, don't go on changing the intro line. My 
 edits reflect fact and those will stay fact unless it is given a name along the lines of a 
 definite case title[50]

User:Cfvh has joined the discussion late and reverted what was already there. This is clearly a violation of the 3RR policy. --Maniwar (talk) 04:53, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

• The four reverts were not within twenty-four hours, so no vio. Encourage all involved to become involved in discussion, obviously. Heimstern Läufer 05:13, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
  • I'm sure the user has broken the 3RR policy now (06:07, 4 May 2007) do I resubmit this one or do I start a new entry below? Thanks. --Maniwar (talk) 12:46, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

He still hasn't. He has reverted three times in the last 24 hours. And to be quite honest, you're both guilty of edit warring; he wouldn't be able to revert you over and over if you weren't reverting him over and over. If you don't like his version and he refuses to discuss it, there are ways to deal with that without reverting. Remember: this is not an emergency. Leave his version and seek dispute resolution. Kafziel ^Talk 13:03, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

I will be the first to admit that I was edit warring, however, I still say that this user was guilty of breaking the 3RR on the forth and he was able to get away with it. This user is preventing anyone from making changes and the user continues to revert anyone who wants to make the article accurate. I agree with Kafziel that it's not an emergency, but I then ask what would you all do in a scenario like this? What would you have done if the user refuses to discuss? The rest of us are trying to discuss and improve, yet one user will not allow it. If you want to respond at my talk page I would appreciate it. But then, I still say that I did the right thing in asking you to look at Cfvh, and see that there was, perhaps after Kafziel's post, but there was a violation to the 3RR. thanks! --Maniwar (talk) 21:40, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Just as a note, I have not broken the 3RR and I have spoken on the talk page for the article in question. My edits to the name reflected fact and were in good faith and not biased (in response to insinuations elsewhere) and I ask all those interested in noting my comments as to the scope of the article in relation to the name of the article itself. My edits are not malicious and I never intent to break or circumvent rules or conventions in practice or "in spirit". I find it extraordinary for a user to ask me to settle for something that he or she is otherwise doing him- or herself. As I said, again for clarity and so I am not accused of supporting my edits, I changed the name of the article to reflect fact and to reflect the growth of the content of the article beyond any given case name (none has been given as an article name, by the way).

I, as much a volunteer as you, provided information as best as possible; you replied and I responded, and then was dealt with haphazardly. I can only imagine if an editor that was more a novice decided to report something here with such a response. I would've been more content in having you unequivocally reject the report, instead of wasting my and your time by not dealing with it by passing the buck back. In any event, it has been dealt with by someone else. If you are either unwilling or unable to navigate the inequities of 3RR, leave it for someone else. And on that note, I'm concluding this thread.

I know that this isn't technically a violation of the 3RR since the fourth revert occurred 24 hours and 14 minutes after the first. However, it's clearly edit-warring. Further, in addition to copious amounts of uncivility, the editor's edit summaries imply (a) clear knowledge of the 3RR and (b) intent to edit war.

Page has been protected by Majorly due to edit-warring. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 18:08, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Blocks are preventative, not punitive. If the article hadn't been protected, a block might serve a preventative purpose in stopping the edit warring. Being protected, there can hardly be any more edit warring right now. A block would simply be to punish, and we don't use them for that reason. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 02:54, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

All reverts comment out the picture in dispute. Can't find a prior 3RR warning but he's been an active editor for over a year and is an experience ANI poster (see block log) so I find it hard to believe he's unaware. - Merzbow 02:06, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

"Reverting clear copyright violations or clearly libelous material". It is a clear copyright violation to use that image anywhere except on the article on that film.--Kirby♥time 02:11, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Just to make the case clear: The dispute is over the inclusion of this image. It is taken from a film that portrays an abused woman in a see-through chador, her naked body painted with verses from the Koran. You can check out the video here [90]. The subtitle of the image is as follows: "Image of a woman's body with Quranic verses written on it from the film Submission. The actress plays the role of a Muslim woman (dressed with a transparent black clothing) as having been beaten and raped by a relative. The bodies are used in the film as a canvas for verses from the Qur'an" --Aminz 02:13, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I have removed the picture and replaced it with an example to avoid copyvio, as I am 100% certain that image is not fair use on this page.--Kirby♥time 02:15, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Image in question: Image:Submission screenshot.gif--Kirby♥time 02:17, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

It's not a clear copyright violation because you have several other users on talk telling you it isn't. So you've broken 3RR. - Merzbow 02:19, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I broke 3RR on the good faith assumption that I was preventing a copyvio. I asked the user who added it to the article User:Matt57, to justify how the picture is fair use in the article. He has not responded. And I thought that even possible copyvios are kept out of an article until the issue is resolved. I apologize if I have done any wrongdoing.--Kirby♥time 02:25, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Kirby, "I have not responded" is not true at all. How about just one response here? See the whole history of how I have discussed this issue. An apology is not going to work. You violated 3RR. This will be your 3rd block now.--Matt57 ^{(talk•contribs)} 02:32, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

His unabated edit-warring on multiple articles continues. All reverts change some instance of the word "massacre" to something else. - Merzbow 02:17, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

The second one, i reverted to Provoubiac's version.[ http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Banu_Qurayza&oldid=128549674 here]. That one doesn't count because I was reverting a mistake that another editor made. He says he reverted to massacre but it is clear that he reverted to punishment (my version). I took the initiative and reverted him to reflect what appeared to be consensus, "killing".--Kirby♥time 02:22, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

OK technically that one doesn't remove "massacre" but your intentions to prosecute the edit war are clear in its edit summary: "2. Please read def of "massacre [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?hl=en&q=massacre&btnG=Look+up here". - Merzbow 02:28, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

In his third revert, he returned the "POV-intro" tag to the article, which has just been removed with this edit. The last revert is just a simple revert, to his previous version.

3RR warning issued: 19:54 7 May 2007

Editor is a new editor, claiming to be the individual about whom the entry is written, although requests to validate that identity through a post in that individual's blog have been ignored. (ETA: Validation now provided.) Editor refuses to discuss the edits on "talk," other than to demand that the entry be written as he deems it should be written. Reverts are accomplished by deleting the disputed material, rather than via revert. As the editor is editing an article presumably about himself, with all the issues that entails, a look at the last few sections on the talk page of the entry John Paulus and the nature of the edits by User:JohnPaulus will probably be helpful. -Jmh123 00:33, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure whether this is the appropriate place to report this, but User:JohnPaulus is now threatening to send his "followers" to enforce his will on the content on another entry. See User_talk:JohnPaulus here: "I will encourage such actions on my blog...." -Jmh123 02:23, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

• This is a complex situation. I'm concerned about possible BLP issues here (some of the sources look really bloggish). I've brought this up at ANI to get further input. Heimstern Läufer 03:24, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

• • I'm an involved editor but I recommend that we don't block for 3RR. This (new) user has not reverted after he acknowledged reading the 3RR warning. There ather other issues that may eclipse this, including BLP and possibly NLT.

I'm not normally a fan of reporting 3RR but the user is refusing to cite sources on the major issues, and this business of editing the height and weight was specifically done to be a WP:POINT disruption, as he admits, "The dispute about his height/weight is petty, I agree, but its an argument being used based on the same logic for the reverts..."

I slashed that out. And if you seriously have an issue, file a RfC. This is for 3RR.--Kirby♥time 05:34, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

It doesn't matter if the first edit is unrelated: "An editor does not have to perform the same revert on a page more than three times to breach this rule; all reverts made by an editor on a particular page within a 24 hour period are counted." (WP:3RR) And you were blocked for extensive edit-warring on two pages, one of which was a clear 3RR violation. - Merzbow 05:33, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Are you seriously suggesting that my revert of poorly written original research is going to be counted?--Kirby♥time 05:35, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

3RR doesnt care if its OR or not. A revert is a revert. There's a reason they have this policy.--Matt57 ^{(talk•contribs)} 05:36, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree, Kirbytime, that the first of the diffs above is a straightforward removal of OR, and should not be held against you. However, the last three, which restore this completely ridiculous photoshopped image of the moon against consensus were plainly disruptive, and merit a block on their own to protect the quality of the encyclopedia.Proabivouac 20:48, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

If that is the case, I ask to be blocked. I accept being blocked as punishment for removing original research from Wikipedia. This is a gross misuse of 3RR policy.--Kirby♥time 05:37, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

The number of different excuses you've come up with over the past two days to justify your extensive edit-warring on three different pages should win you points for creativity, if nothing else. - Merzbow 05:38, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Kirby, I just finding it amazing that admins have not blocked you indefinitely yet. Admins call you a troll, you've been blocked 2 times for trolling and requesting Child Porn, yesterday you got blocked for 3RR and today you did it again. Good going Kirby. I wonder if this editing behavior is going to be a regular occurence from you. --Matt57 ^{(talk•contribs)} 05:41, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm not edit-warring on any pages. Despite your greatest efforts to prove the contrary, I have never once broke 3RR. But if someone feels the urge to block me, go ahead. Their need to feel good about themselves outweighs my potential missed contributions to Wikipedia.--Kirby♥time 05:43, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

- User is well-aware of the policies, and has been reported for 3RR violations before (though this is the first blatant violation). He removes all warnings of edit-warring and 3RR, calling them "trolling".
The edits (all w/in a 24-hr period) specifically address an essentially lame content dispute (for which he is unwilling to engage in DR), arguing in favor of a minority opinion, removing or disregarding numerous citations that are all in agreement. While this isn't the place for it, it should be noted that attempting to address these editing issues are met with personal attacks and uncivility in the arti8cle's Discussion page. He has been criticized for WP:OWN issues before.
Each of the aforementioned Diffs remove either the content or alter citations in such a way that is not supported by citation. As the article is headed into Peer Review, the POV edit-warring renders the article relatively unstable. A short-term block is called for, to preserve the article. -Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 13:25, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Note: numbers 2-6 are all a single run of subsequent edits. Of these, only number 2 is an obvious revert, but it was followed by an immediate self-revert ([115]). I cannot figure out to what extent the following four are reverts (composite diff: [116]). However, both Viriditas and Arcayne have made more reverts during the preceding hours. Between 7 May 10:00 and 8 May 14:00, I see: Viriditas [117], [118], [119], (plus the uncertain last sequence pointed out above: [120]); and Arcayne: [121], [122], [123], [124]. Also, both editors have been revert-warring on the article's talk page, with Arcayne repeatedly removing and Viriditas readding a long comment, which arguably contained some incivil language against Arcayne but was on the whole centered on content. There's also been quite a bit of edit warring over the same issues in previous days between the same two editors. I'd suggest blocks for both parties. Fut.Perf. ☼ 16:19, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, I guess I am not seeing the same thing you are. I see 6 edits wherein the editor re-adds the same information in, removing sources within the article that reflect the sources, and engaging in more than just "some" uncivil language. I would daresay that any edmin receiving the same input would likely block the person immediately. I've been polite in responding, and removing those posts when they were more personal attack than discussion. More often than not, they just get re-added without any attempt at civility. ALL of my posts in the Discussion area in the last few months have been polite in the extreme.

Lastly, I would like to suggest that perhaps another admin might evaluate the basis for this 3RR violation, as the admin above is involved in an image dispute (in another article) with me, which could be perceived as a COI. Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 17:11, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

I've noticed that the aforemetnioned admin noted reverts by myself, implying that I had violated 3RR (citing edits #121-124). A closer look will clearly indicate that only three of these edits are within a 24 hour period. I did not violate 3RR, and am certainly not edit-warring. I have on at least 4 occasions asked for mediation. However, Viriditas has refused to engage in DR or mediation by a impartial third party. Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 17:22, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure, are you talking about the article edits or the talkpage edits? If the former, you seem not to have understood the rule, since the same thing came up the last time: an uninterrupted sequence of edits by the same editor always counts as a single edit for purposes of the 3RR, no matter how many separate items are getting reverted. As for our previous dispute, it is exactly the reason why I've not taken this in my own hands and blocked you myself. Fut.Perf. ☼ 17:24, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

And yet, you felt strangely compelled to post your comments here, despite that previous dispute which resulted me in filing and AN/I in response to your behavior (which, in fairness, you were found to have acted fairly appropriately).

As for my edits, I am speaking primarily of the article edits. I am clearly allowed to revert uncivil attack posts as disruptive (which is what was done when Viriditas would post the same abusive posts in the Discussion area). I again posit that any admin being on the receiving end of such posts would have blocked the uncivil attacker immediately. As I am not an admin, my choices were to ignore the posts (and be accused of not communicating with editors), take the abuse (which I ended up doing anyway) or removing the posts, allowing for the offending editor to resubmit their posts in a less-aggressive format. The admin above readded one of the offensive posts, suggesting in his edit summary: "restore comment with only the offensive parts erased. This is how you do it. The rest seems acceptable to me." He had to remove over 120 words to even make it barely acceptable, and the resulting version still would have an admin blocking the trollish post, so it again addresses the possibility that this particular admin isn't acting in a completely unbiased manner. Of course I am not going to remove parts of a post, as it has been made clear time and again that you don't alter another person's posts. they are either acceptable or they are not. I made a judgment call on allowing for disruptive posts to further pollute the editorial environment, or to remove them in the hopes that the editor would opt for a more civil manner of discourse. Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 17:47, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

My edits in the actual article were to reinstate information or tighten up referenced citations. Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 17:37, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment I tried to solve this peacefully, without involving administrators. User:Beatles Fab Four refuses to engage in a reasonable discussion and keeps reverting/removing contents he doesn't like in the article Bronze Soldier of Tallinn. He has been warned of 3RR before. DLX 19:46, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

First, it takes 4 reverts to violate 3RR. Second, while persistent edit warring is disruptive and can bring a block regardless of 3RR technicality, what we have here is WP:BRD rather than a sterile revert war as the article is undergoing development and is being improved. I think administrative intrusion is unwarranted. I spoke to both parties to cool off. --Irpen 20:19, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Urthogie has obviously surpassed the 3RR.. He is being totally unreasonable and everytime I try and edit or add information, he reverts back with some flashy comment in the edit summary. It is apparent that this person is being disruptive his actions warrant a block. He has a long history of such behavior. I tried to add my info and arrange wording that I feel suits the sources and with out discussing he reverts every time. I bowed out as to not cause an "edit war" so I didn't revert, I only tried to add info and he relentlessly kept reverting before I could even finish or come back to discuss. I warned him in the edit summary and discussion page several times. Thank you..Taharqa 20:55, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

• I have not violated the 3 revert rule because there is no specific difference that has been removed or restored more than 3 times. If there is, and I'm wrong, I'd ask that Taharqa paste the 4 diffs, rather than 5 arbitrary diffs which don't have a commonality between them.
• Taharqa did not warn me whatsoever about this claimed 3rr, which is a prerequisite for reporting last time I checked.
• Contrary to her assertion that I have been editing disruptively, and not letting anyone touch the page, every user who has commented on this situation recently has asked Taharqa to be more civil, and edit differently, and has not made any such requests of me. [129][130][131] [132][133][134]
• Although I haven't violated 3rr, I am pretty sure that Taharqa has. I am not especially interested in going through the effort to gather the diffs, though.--Urthogie 21:05, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Just look at the diffs, he removed something every time.. Every time he reverts he reverts the entire page, he removed my additional sources, statements here and there, the first one reverted a lot of information and erased sources, every time he reverted, I had to try and reclaim what I contributed, not by reverting, but adding it back, even in between me fixing typos he'd revert. Just look and see, he's being disruptive and causing frustration by reverting everything and making people have to go back and edit things they just fixed or added. Again, he has a history of this, I hope you don't by his excuses, just check his history. If these were "arbitrary reverts"(whatever that is), then why would he revert so much? Excuses. I don't like edit wars at all, and just frustrating when people control pages and revert so viciously.. Have nothing else to say, this isn't a debate.. You decide, please don't be persuaded by any fast talk from Urthogie, or even me in that case. Nothing can come out of what he's doing besides an edit war..Taharqa 21:08, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Please paste the diffs, Taharqa. That's a requirement for posting something to this page.--Urthogie 21:12, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Phrase reverted is: most agree that the onset of Egyptian civilization was comprised of indigenous NorthEast African elements. Keep in mind that I have not reverted anything more than 3 times in the last 24 hours, and nonetheless she (who has violated 3rr) reported me. I wasn't going to find the diffs until she reported me.--Urthogie 21:25, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

I never used any revert feature of any kind nor did I copy and paste or blank, I hand typed everything and removed nothing. Please don't let him use his trickyness to switch this around! I reverted/blanked nothing, I hand typed everything and only added, not removed. I added the diffs here also and his reverts kept removing passages or sources he didn't agree with, yet he makes it try to seem petty thinking that I wouldn't report it.. Taharqa 21:30, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

• Both users have violated 3RR, as both have made accurate reports here. Before I discuss the blocks, a few misconceptions need to cleared up: 1. Reverts do not have to be related to count toward 3RR; any four reverts (other than of simple vandalism or BLP vios) count. 2. A warning is only needed for users who may be unaware of 3RR. As Urthogie has been blocked for 3RR multiple times, this hardly applies. 3. Reverting does not necessarily mean "removing"; adding something someone else has removed is also a revert. Taharqa removed the sentence about "most agree" three times after it was removed by Urthogie and once removed an image removed by him. That totals four reverts. As both users are repeat offenders, the blocks will be for five days. Lesson to all: Don't edit war at all. If someone reverts your edit, start a discussion. Build consensus one way or another on the talk page. Edit warring is harmful to Wikipedia and will result in blocks to stop this harm. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 05:35, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Although it's hard to tell because the report doesn't have the date/times posted, it appears these aren't made within 24 hour periods. Additionally, the user would need to be warned. Perhaps it's a matter for dispute resolution? Komdori 19:37, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure if I have correctly understood the concept of "Previous version reverted to" so please check my notice closely, maybe the 4 changes count only as three reverts??? Basically, there is a dispute about certain libellous and poorly sourced (by scientology black PR) material ("However, Caberta has repeatedly come under fire for her bias..."), which he considers relevant, and which I removed a few days ago already with no protest at that time, [153] and he put back in 4 times yesterday. --Tilman 04:59, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Is there a revert that happened after the warning? Komdori 19:34, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

I see that I may also have misunderstood the meaning about the warning. I thought that it is about that the user has been told at least once in his "lifetime" what 3RR is about, that is the link I gave. In THIS dispute, he was not warned.

Maybe this question is moot if he doesn't count as new user. He has been here since 29 March 2007. --Tilman 19:48, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

User is persistently attempting to re-insert troll comments I keep removing, claiming he is 'restoring vandalised comments'. I haven't given him a warning about the 3RR as I feel that if it comes from me it is only to encourage him and exacerbate matters. DarkSaber2k 10:31, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

I'd appreciate a speedy resolution to this, as he is now harassing me with reverts to my talk page claiming he's reverting vandalism. DarkSaber2k 10:38, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

The account seems relatively new. I left a 3RR warning. If he continues it, please post it here. As for a "speedy resolution", if you happen to have a chance to leave diffs, you'll probably get it a lot faster. People seem to peruse this page and deal with the "easiest" reports first, which are usually the ones that have all the links right there. Komdori 19:32, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate that, but I was following the instructions that said if the reversions were all to the same version, then just leave a link to the one version. But I'll bear that in mind if I have to come here again. Thanks for the advice. DarkSaber2k 21:05, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Note for anyone else looking at this case, if the diffs qualify as reverts (I didn't have time to look at them), although I don't see a warning on his page, User:Vlad_fedorov warned another editor here (and other places) about 3RR, so he's aware of the rule.

Not all these are seperate reverts, but four are. Blocked for one week, taking into account prior blocks for disruption (including a 3RR vio).

He's had this account since September 2004, so I'd say a warning isn't needed. I also wonder whether he has other accounts given the sporadic use he makes of this one (but he always seems to be around to revert that image when it's restored). SlimVirgin ^(talk) 02:19, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
