Comments:

I made a number of edits to the article, which were necessary to make it comply with WP:NPOV, WP:V and the WP:MOS. The edits were reverted without explanation by the user I'm reporting. They have reverted four times in a little under two hours, leaving only the rather insulting comment "rvt to last clean version". In response to my question on their talk page as to why they would consider my edits "dirty", they responded with further insults. 86.185.226.91 (talk) 22:10, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And they continue to be astonishingly uncivil, see their removal of my notification to them of this discussion. 86.185.226.91 (talk) 22:14, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Marnette's reverting is minimal and the reporter hasn't exactly gone out of their way to resolve this dispute in a congenial manner (see this message they left at Marnette's talk page despite the fact that Marnette made no personal attacks that I can see). There is progress on the talk page now so I recommend closing this report. Betty Logan (talk) 01:18, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Minimal? Four reverts in less than two hours is not minimal. It is textbook disruptive editing. Their only comment on their reverts was "revert to last clean version", which was a clear personal attack. And even if there were talk page progress (I don't see any reasons given for their reverting) "An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period." There's a list of exceptions but it doesn't include a third editor subsequently commenting on the talk page. I recommend that they be blocked for at least 24 hours for unambiguously violating a supposed bright-line rule. It says right here on this page that "Violations of the this rule normally attract blocks of at least 24 hours." 86.185.226.91 (talk) 06:23, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  You installed an edit four times, he reverted you by the same number so let's not get too hung up on the technicalities. I have left comments at the talk page addressing your points (some of which I support) so let's focus on the real issue of article improvement. Betty Logan (talk) 07:19, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

They broke a bright line rule; I didn't. That's not a technicality. Why should they not be blocked for disruptive editing? 86.184.140.247 (talk) 07:54, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As far as the edit-warring is concerned Marnette simply reached the red line first and now you are attempting to exploit a loophole to get him blocked. However, just because you didn't revert four times does not mean you cannot be handed a block too, and the presiding admin might well take the view that you are gaming the rule. Another thing to bear in mind is that if the time expended on this report had been put into resolving the issue at the article then we could have all moved on to other things by now. Betty Logan (talk) 08:30, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There is no loophole. There's a rule which says don't edit disruptively and in particular, don't ever revert more than 3 times in 24 hours. Where is the ambiguity? And what is the issue we're supposed to be resolving? For something resolvable to exist, we need to know why they reverted. An explanation for that is still lacking. 86.184.140.247 (talk) 09:45, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the IP has been here all of two days and knows how to log things at WP:3RR and is familiar with other wiki policies (WP:NPA, disruptive editing, "bright-line rule", etc. Recommend the IP starts to discuss things on the article's talkpage and this is closed. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 07:11, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've been editing for a while and I'm very familiar with the policies. Meanwhile, IP addresses change. I don't think that's news to many people. Why should the editor who was disruptively reverting not be blocked for doing so, when "Violations of the this rule normally attract blocks of at least 24 hours"? 86.184.140.247 (talk) 07:54, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You have not been "editing a while", certainly not on this account address. But if you have, maybe you'd like to disclose your previous accounts in the interests of transparency? Cassianto^Talk 08:43, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is not an account and I've never had an account. If I could remember all the IP addresses I've made edits at, I'd certainly be happy to tell you. Bit difficult on mobile but I could look some up if you're really interested. Not sure I see how it's relevant to MarnetteD's edit warring though.

You can get a recap at Wikipedia talk:Long-term abuse/Best known for IP. Betty Logan (talk) 08:54, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That appears to be something entirely unrelated. 86.184.140.247 (talk) 09:45, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's relevent because to me, it sounds like you are socking and there is a legitimate caveat when it comes to 3rr and reverting socks and vandals. Cassianto^Talk 11:56, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you have any evidence for your claim, do present it somewhere. Otherwise it looks like just a personal attack. 86.184.140.247 (talk) 22:04, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You are reporting an editor with a excellent record of improving Wikipedia - yet you cannot "remember" all the IPs you have edited from and you certainly cannot be bothered to create a account. This appears to be a classic case of socking and I respectfully suggest you drop this absurd circus. David J Johnson (talk) 22:18, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

An editor with an excellent record of improving Wikipedia would not blatantly violate the 3RR, as this user has done, so I don't believe your claim there. I "respectfully" suggest that if you have no evidence for your insulting claims, you should withdraw them. 86.185.226.91 (talk) 22:27, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The trademark obsession with conforming to MOS is enough evidence in my opinion. This is definitely best known for IP. Sro23 (talk) 22:23, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

???? Obsession? No. But you think that applying the manual of style is disruptive, do you? 86.185.226.91 (talk) 22:27, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The adorable part of this is that the IP (whose edits are mostly decent) has, since reporting, engaged in edit wars on at least 2 other articles (with varying degrees of righteousness and disruptiveness). --JBL (talk) 03:47, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Truly adorable how someone stalked my edits specifically because of the situation I reported and reverted other ones for no reason. Delightful. Charming. Lovely. Spiffing. 86.184.140.247 (talk) 07:20, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And as you can see, the editor has changed IPs again and displays their sockpuppetry, and continues to edit war after this discussion, believing it to be alright under the circumstances. And also accuses an editor of "stalking" publicly accessibly information.

IP addresses change. Try reading WP:SOCKPUPPET, you don't seem to understand what it actually is. And you somehow think one can't be stalking unless one's stolen private information? Interesting. Meanwhile you're restoring the edit warrior's unexplained changes and also stalking my other edits. 86.184.140.247 (talk) 07:42, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Can I suggest that we bring this to a close, remind both all parties to use the talk page, rather than continually force the issue? Issuing blocks for this particular storm in a tea cup would not be helpful. – SchroCat (talk) 08:09, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't need reminding to use the talk page, thanks; see the talk page discussion I started two days ago where MarnetteD is conspicuously absent. A block would have been very helpful when the user made their 4 reverts in 2 hours and thus demonstrated their disruptive intent. A block against the (Redacted) "AlexTheWhovian" who has taken up the baton of disruption would still be helpful - see below. 86.184.140.247 (talk) 08:24, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the IP editor continues to edit-war on this article, believing they are in the right. Time to whip out the WP:BOOMERANGs here. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 07:02, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments:

I strongly suspect this IP editor is Amatulic editing while logged out. They appear to have edited from other IPs. PeterTheFourth (talk) 10:54, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, looking into it more, probably just misguided. My bad. PeterTheFourth (talk) 10:59, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Adding that the user was also edit-warring over the same content on Rich Burlew before moving it to this article. 73.168.15.161 (talk) 11:37, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, i'm not Amatulic. It's just a case where there's a dispute and he (among another IP editor and another user called Diego Moya) is agreeing with me because my section doesn't conflict with Wikipedia Rules. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.30.108.20 (talk) 11:57, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@PeterTheFourth: Um, that IP address is in Italy. I'm in the United States. And I'm always logged in. In the 10 years I've been here, I have probably made just a handful of edits while inadvertently logged off. ~Amatulić (talk) 03:58, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Amatulic: Yeah, that was very boneheaded of me. PeterTheFourth (talk) 04:16, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also, there's an user called Eladynnus (talk) who is antagonizing the section that was added for no apparent reasons. He's known for insulting people, basing on his talk page *https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Eladynnus#WARNING.21_Your_insults_on_my_talk_page

I have explained my reasons for wanting the article removed several times now, but this IP editor continues to claim that the matter has been settled and everyone else agrees with him; see Talk:The_Order_of_the_Stick#Aggressive_IP_editor for examples. As for Tamsier, he was an editor with very strong views who was banned from Wikipedia in 2012 and 2015 for his bad behavior, which included attacking others (that link is actually a pretty mild example of what he would say to others). Eladynnus (talk) 14:50, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• I'd say this deserves a WP:BOOMERANG for edit warring towards PeterTheFourth and Eladynnus, either as a warning or short block, as a reminder that experienced users are not themselves exempt from edit warring policy, and that WP:AGF and WP:BITE are still policies - so they should know better than engage in this behavior towards who is likely a newcomer. The IP wouldn't have made so many reverts if Peter and Eladynuss hadn't performed a cumulative count of at least six reverts in the last 24 hours,[15][16][17][18][19][20] with several more two days ago, over a section that is still under discussion, with several editors on each side; and that veterans should know better than attempting to WP:GAME the system by trying to get WP:THERIGHTVERSION in place while they ban their conversation partner while carefully keeping within the letter of WP:EW while batantly breaking its spirit. There is no deadline, and there are no BLP concerns on this case, so properly educating a newcomer editor who has a good disposition to create content should get a higher priority than getting their preferred outcome by turning the article into a WP:BATTLEGROUND. If the section needs to be finally deleted, it should be because there's a consensus at the talk page for it, not because some editors coordinated to have it their way. Diego (talk) 15:42, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If that is an appropriate punishment, then fine. This IP editor is almost certainly not new, however. A Milanese IP editor has been editing the Rich Burlew article since May of 2015, starting with a series of vandalisms (1, 2, 3), which resulted in the article being temporarily locked (here). After the article was unlocked, he began writing the section in question (here), which another IP editor attempted to remove a few days later here. Since then, five editors, including myself, have removed the section from the Rich Burlew page for various reasons, and at no point has he shown much interest in our motivations or the policies that are cited. Eladynnus (talk) 17:34, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've got nothing to do with those edits. Those are just some old nonsensical edits did from the same IP range, but not mine. You should try to avoid making defamatory assumptions like those and, instead, trying to help improve the article as Diego Moya did. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.30.108.20 (talk) 17:52, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It does not seem like much of a stretch to guess that someone with the same writing style as you, from the same city, and who has the same interest in Burlew's forum comments about gay characters in his comic, is the same person, but that is not the main point of the comment. Did you read any other part of them, or actually look at my complaints on the OotS page? It seems like you are avoiding the substance of any criticisms of the section in question, your behavior, and have not read any relevant Wikipedia policies. Eladynnus (talk) 20:14, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I do feel, however, that I didn't behave appropriately when I continued to make revertions after it was clear that the IP editor was not going to allow the section to be removed. For what it's worth, I am sorry. Eladynnus (talk) 20:48, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I fail to see how someone who edits the biography of Rich Burlew adding "Mona" (whatever that means) has my same writing style or shares my ideas. It appears you're trying to blame me for something i didn't do just because you don't like the section I've wrote. I think it's worthless further discussing because, while being not certainly seettled, the matter is that the sources of that section are acceptable according to wikipedia rules and you and PeterTheFourth forced me to do many reverts to it. I'll probably try improve the section in the future while keeping it at bay in terms of length. Have a good evening.

• More the reason to engage in explanations of the finer points of policies, rather than using them as bludgeoning weapons. The IP did not have a disruptive behaviour at The Order of the Stick, and was reacting favourably to my comments, participating in the discussion. Diego (talk) 21:20, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I feel that I and others have discussed policy in a clear and cogent way, but the IP editor has not shown that is he willing to listen, compromise, or respond to criticism. None of the comments he's left in this discussion have been about his own behavior, and he has not explained why he wrote deceptive edit summaries on the Rich Burlew and OotS pages. He accuses others of making up policy or having no reason to be against including the section at all (1, 2, 3). All of his comments boil down to "I'm right and you're wrong" or "this person agrees with me," and is a good example of WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT. I worry that there will be more disruptive editing regardless of the outcome of the discussion on the talk page because the IP editor has expressed reluctance to allowing any change to this section (1, 2, also see this edit summary where he calls it "my section"). Eladynnus (talk) 09:08, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You just resorted to revert my edits without giving any practical reason other than acting that you were some sort of authority. That's the reason i had to revert so many times the section. Seeing your history in wikipedia (be your talk page or your contribution page) i see that you're not new to this kind of behavior. I see you're used to delete entire sections giving only a tiny "explanation", especially towards ip editors treating them like second-class users. I think this kind of behavior is highly disruptive and not constructive at all. There won't be any more "disruptive editing" because, instead of what you did, the other editors are trying to address me to do a better job improving the article and i'm actively discussing with them on the talk page while you're showing anything but hostility towards me. I find it really annoying, at this point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.220.4.45 (talk) 13:29, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Result: Three months of semiprotection for both The Order of the Stick and Rich Burlew. It's reasonable to believe that the following Milan-area IPs are all operated by the same editor: 151.30.41.252, 151.30.68.126, 151.30.108.20, 91.220.4.45. Conducting an edit war with multiple IPs or accounts is disruptive and blockable under WP:SOCK. The single IP named in this report broke 3RR on Aug 17 as shown by the four diffs. The Rich Burlew article has needed semiprotection twice since July, the last time by User:BOZ. There is no reason why a person with such strong opinions can't create an account. EdJohnston (talk) 17:28, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have a problem creating an account, but i've never hidden the fact that even the 91.220 ip was mine (i did those edit today, commenting on my previous edits acnowledgint as mine) so calling me a "IP-hopping edit warrior" is highly inaccurate. The fun part is that you protected the page in the exact moment i was trying to add other official references. Go figure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.48.224.135 (talk) 17:34, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also, i'd like to add that both PeterTheFourth and Eladynnus infranged the 3RR rule [21][22][23][24][25][26] with several more two days ago, over a section that is still under discussion, with several editors on each side. I do not think those two users should suffer no consequences.

This is a dishonest report. Check the diffs and their time stamps and you'll see that at no time have I reverted more than three times in 24 hours. This user is simply joining in the attacks against me for my report of MarnetteD above; even though no justification of any kind has been given for undoing my edits to Dr. Strangelove, this editor is now continuing to undo them, without giving any reason. My edits to Sherlock (TV series) were reverted by someone who specifically did so because of my report of MarnetteD; read the talk page to see that my version is supported. 86.184.140.247 (talk) 08:09, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It does not matter if you reverted less than three times in 24 hours; were have been edit-warring, which is continuously reverting other editors, no matter of the time frame. Do the crime, face the time. Alex|The|Whovian^? 08:11, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You are the one reverting for no reason. I explained all my edits, they were supported on the talk page, the original revert warrior didn't explain themselves, so I reinstated them at Dr. Strangelove and saw that someone else said they would reinstate them at Sherlock, and yet you somehow felt that it would be productive to revert them again: [41][42][43][44] You're now indulging in personal attacks as well. [45] It hardly looks like you're here to make an encyclopaedia. 86.184.140.247 (talk) 08:18, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:STATUSQUO: If there is a dispute, editors are encouraged to work towards establishing consensus, not to have one's own way. Instead of engaging in an edit war, propose your reverted change on the article's talk page or pursue other dispute resolution alternatives. During a dispute, until a consensus is established, the status quo should remain (except in biographies of living people, where contentious material should be removed). You would prefer to edit war over letting the status quo sit while you await replies. There's my reason. Two years and 38,000+ edits, and apparently I'm "hardly looks like you're here to make an encyclopaedia". Right. Alex|The|Whovian^? 08:23, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Anon IP - using three different IP addresses - is insisting on re-adding POV content to article. Original IP used was User:72.86.139.57 with this edit: [51].

• Result: Article semiprotected two months. A concern has been raised on the talk page about undue weight, but the IP is not waiting for consensus there. Due to the issue of POV-pushing, I would alert the IP of discretionary sanctions under WP:ARBAP2 but it is unclear how to warn a fluctuating IP under WP:AC/DS.

  • My ISP assigns various IP addresses every time I log on...duh. Hey Ed, did you notice that it was the complainant who started the edit warring, and he only came here when he couldn't get his way? And that he was advised in the Talk page BY TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE that he needed to supply an actual reason for deleting documented information about Flynn, and that he should seek consensus, rather than just insisting that his gut said the facts in question are POV? Most or all of the facts that you folks have now swept off the page are pretty much beyond any reasonable dispute: Flynn said and did those things. Heaven forbid his page should accurately reflect what Flynn is doing and saying during a presidential campaign! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.86.146.61 (talk) 01:51, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

User:MPS1992 has been driving a mean-spirited and bigoted edit war over an external link at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotlight_(film)] and has abused Wikipedia protocol, especially [WP:Civility] and [WP:WikiBullying].

The external link had been in place for months, and it clearly and unambiguously aligns with [WP:EL] ("those that contain further research that is accurate and on-topic, information" and "other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article for reasons unrelated to its accuracy.")

Stevie Wonder can see the bias and bigotry going on here. Good-faith efforts to resolve this through the article's talk page have been fruitless. MPS1992 has no interest in this.

Thank you. Steakpeak (talk) 00:02, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello administrators. I am not going to tidy up Steakpeak's report about me, but I will now spend a few minutes attempting to provide a properly formatted summary of the edit-warring on the article and what I see as Steakpeak's role in it.

Comments:

In fairness, the formal warning to Steakpeak from me, noted above, came after his fourth revert, but I had mentioned the prohibition on edit warring, on his talk page, much earlier and more than a month ago in a welcome message. MPS1992 (talk) 00:37, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Blocked – for a period of 24 hours. I would have liked to see some discussion on the talk page, but Steakpeak's accusation that other editors were Wikibullying by reverting drive me to let him know that he (behaviorally) was in the wrong here (no comment on article content). Ian.thomson (talk) 03:16, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have finally decided to report User:Snooganssnoogans for abusive behavior on the main Jill Stein page (specifically [power plays], regular edit warring, gaming, and clear violations of WPP:NPA, possible WP:3RR violations [55] here). I have tried as much as possible to follow the dispute resolution process, but the succor seemingly accorded to this user by User:VictoriaGrayson and others has made discussion very difficult. There is a clear consensus emerging that the current state of the page is a catastrophe for Wikipedia neutrality. While I have no proof of WP:COI (though some circumstantial evidence may well exist), there is good reason to look into WP:CANVASSING violations, it seems to me.

The page in question has been discussed on the NPOV notice board (further links and comment on that page have been provided by another user).

It seems to me that the "hack" that has been effected on this page would be best adresssed without User:Snooganssnoogans being present on the page. Possibly also without User:VictoriaGrayson, and possibly even without User:SashiRolls. It seems to me that sanctioning User:Snooganssnoogans will be necessary to move forward peacefully. As it stands the page is damaging to Jill Stein, to Wikipedia, and even to Hillary Clinton (since many clearly think, as I do, that it has been hacked in a particularly effective manner).

This diff shows edit warring before I came to the page.

Thank you for your time. Why can't we all just get along?  ;( SashiRolls (talk) 02:15, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

See discussion below:

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [diff]
These major rewrites were done without any attempt to contact me (original author). I have made no attempt.

Comments:
The purpose of the major revision is listed as "The content of the page as it was not accurate with the current scientific data and medical consensus of the disorder" However, this is part of repeated revisions of an established page (warring). These major revisions exclude much of the widely accepted information regarding the syndrome (catalog of genes). Citations were already current in the literature, some only a few weeks old at the time of the warring party made major revisions to remove the information. The repeated revisions try to re-define the syndrome in a way that is the minority view and conflicts with those who's names are associated with syndrome (see numerous citations in original page).

This minority view does have its followers and that view could have been expressed as an alternative viewpoint. Instead, the page has been repeatedly re-written as major revisions. This approach is completely against Wikipedia philosophy.

The central problem is that the warring party wants to describe the chromosomal deletion syndrome as caused by one gene (SHANK3). However, there is already a wikipedia page for SHANK3. SHANK3 information, history, speculation etc belong on that page. That is the proper place for discussing that one gene. Warring is of no benefit and removing the other 100 genes that are well documented as part of the syndrome (see original page) to promote a minority view is not how Wikipedia is supposed to operate.

This user has continually been adding disputed and other categories without even attempting to reach consensus on the talk page.

@EdJohnston: This has been semi-long-term edit-warring, though I don't know why it only pulled up those edits. Please take a look at the history of the article in question: Liv and Maddie. User has been challenged by at least two users and continues to insert problematic content. Amaury (talk | contribs) 01:26, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You can prove your case by supplying diffs. If you want admins to go further back, you will need more diffs. Also, the talk page discussion is very unclear on what has been agreed to. Consider opening an WP:RFC, or ask more specific questions. If someone reverts against a clear talk page consensus they might be blocked, but a consensus should be clear.

Hi EdJohnston – FWIW, it was essentially consensus at the Talk page that the categories Kkjj was trying to add were not appropriate due to WP:Defining. While Kkjj may not have technically violated 3RR, they have been slow-mo edit warring to include these cats anyway for about a month. I thought Kkjj had WP:Dropped the stick, but it looks like they haven't. I'm not sure I would block in the case, but a gentle warning from an Admin such as yourself might be worth a shot (and also might establish a baseline for WP:ROPE)... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:41, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

SashiRolls (talk) 10:12, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This user is systematically removing content that he/she feels is damaging to Stein (such as reliable sources correcting some of her pseudoscience views) and often does so while going against consensus. The user, who dabbles in conspiracy theories (such as that all other editors who disagree with him on the article are shills) and uses poor sources (the user forcefully defended the use of Venezuelan state propaganda) repeatedly starts new discussions rather than joins in on existing discussions. The user does these disruptive edits 24/7 (just check his user history), which requires constant reverts. I don't believe that I've breached the 3RR but if I have done so accidentally in an effort to keep this user from messing up the article, I apologize. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 10:26, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In general, the strategy is to have User:VictoriaGrayson revert once the user above has reached the daily limit. Examples of this here (reversion quickly reverted by another user) and here. SashiRolls (talk) 10:38, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
