A couple things to note. Though this editor has just begun, he has almost certainly been here before. He must have seen my warning, as he rolled back a bot edit on his talk page 23:13, 6 July 2008 after I warned him. I believe he is well aware of policy, and may actually be an SPA or harassment account (Of the four articles he has edited, I am active on three.) If he were a true newbie, I’d say warn him, but I think it’s pretty clear what’s going on here. IronDuke 02:55, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Above mandatory 'previous version reverted to' doesn't tell the whole story. User has been doing the same thing for days on end now, with other edits on the page in between. These last four diffs below are not within 24 hours, but user is gaming the system. This editwar over IP's signature should not be allowed to go on. User is doing the same thing on User_talk:Sue_Gardner, see [18]. He has already been blocked on de:Wikipedia for the same thing.[19] Basically, he is stalking and harassing the IP.

• The editor in question began to editing Korea under Japanese rule in a biased view without consensus/discussion as well as s/he did on several articles. Logitech9 initially seemed to use sock IP, {{User|128.120.161.137} in order to avoid 3RR sanction. However, as thins got heated, the editor clearly violated 3RR with his/her sole account. The editor also produced disruptive edits; original research, distorting death toll unlike already attached citation. S/he also violated a rule Liancourt Rocks under Arb Committee ruling for Liancourt Rocks. He/she received warnings from 3 administrators for his edit warring, wiki-staking, breaking the arbcom rule. The guy inserted original research to Mike Honda and even blindly reverted unrelated articles of him, such as Yaksik, Kimera (singer) which I edited yesterday. The editor is fully warned, so a block is in order, I believe. --Caspian blue (talk) 12:18, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

The editor in question began editing Clemson University football recruiting scandal by blanking the entire article and posting links to two shorter articles they authored without consensus/discussion. The original article was restored and the editor was notified that discussion about such a drastic edit should be held on the original article's talk page so that consensus could be reached. Editor then decided rather than discuss the merits of the proposal for splitting the article, to fill up the "discussion" with old comments from my user talk page copypasted out of context, and of course drama then ensued, none of which was relevant to improving the article or furthering discussion on the stated topic at hand. Editor was notified that this was in violation of WP:TPG guidelines, and I deleted all comments from the article talk page that were irrelevant to discussion about improving the article (per WP:TPG guidelines. Editor reverted the talk page numerous times making the statement that they would continue to do so "all the way to ArbCom." This editor has been contentious ever since his original edit of this article was questioned. Furthermore, the editor appears to be a single-purpose account, other than a few minor edits made back in April when the account was created, all activity has been constrained to this article and talk pages of users associated with the dispute. I might also suggest that a checkuser be performed on the IP this editor is using, as numerous sockpuppets have cropped up around this article and others related to it over the past several months.

We then discussed that, he or she had two possible reasons. In any case, ViperNerd then reported the original disputant for 3RR, so is aware of the policy.)

I would rather not report this editor, as I came to the page in question as a WP:Third Opinion editor, but:

1. the case is strong
2. the third opinion was canceled (by me)
3. the Talk reverts in question, though related, are not the Article edits the 3rd opinion request concerned.

Okay, I don't think I did this fully correct but it is very confusing so I did my best. The 2 users I reported to do allow me to edit any pages. I never read too much about htis rule thinking it would never apply to me however after they told me I violated it, I read it more and understand it better. I also realize that they were just it violation as I was. I read they were going to report me so I figure I do the same. I think in there case it is worse because they are regular wiki users violated a rule very badly that makes them look like a newbie, I'm and still learning while I violated the rule without realizing it, it appears to me that they think they own the page, which again is against rules. Although regular users, they don't seem to understand this is an open edting site where other people make edits. They revert any improvement or information I add or change. It is very frustrating to have all my improvements removed. From what I read this is an aexample of wiki users that are not wanted on this site. Overall I'd say I'm new and a little confused, violating a rule without knowledge and they are regular users violating rules to extreme measures with all intensions of it. Hopefully this is the right place to report this and hopfully you understand and see what I'm saying and reporting. Shake 3000 (talk) 21:11, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

I do not know if I am allowed to comment here, but I will do it and hope for the best. Firstly, in regards to my reverts on my own talkpage; firstly, I was unaware that 3RR even applied on my own, and secondly, I would like to point out that I only carried out so many reverts because Tennis expert and BanRay were incorrectly saying that I had to keep their comments on, which led me to revert. The edit history proves this: I politely requested they found me where it says in the rules I had to keep what they were trying to put on, and they did not find it, so I think I was entitled to be angry. In addition, I tried to seek a resolution with BanRay on his talkpage (perhaps slightly aggressively, but I still requested relatively politely that he find me where I had to keep his comments, and that I would keep them if he did), but he removed my comments without a proper reason: 1.

The second one: I completely did not realise I violated 3RR there, I completely lost count so I am sorry for that. Nevertheless, that is my first offence on Wikipedia, and I would also like to point out that Tennis expert had been reverting my legitimate edit without giving a reason, which was what resulted in my reverting. However, I still realise I violated the rule in this instance, so I will be more careful in future. The first "offence" listed, however, I think is completely not my fault.

Your report of me performing those first 4 edits has already been rejected as "stale", and I have made just two since, meaning I have not violated 3RR. In any case, the only reason I have been doing these reverts is because you have been reverting my perfectly legitimate edits without reason. How about, in this content dispute, you start actually calmly debating the proper issues instead of trying to cause trouble with things like this? Whitenoise123 (talk) 14:38, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

The article has been reviewed by three established editors and all of them think it's a C-class article, what other reasons do you want? BanRay 14:47, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

What reasons do I want? I want you to actually SAY your problems with it. If you think the tone is wrong, you need to give examples of a poor tone and explicitly say why it is poor. If you think the structure is poor, you need to say exactly why it is poor. I find it peculiar how, whenever I ask you to explicitly describe your problems with the content, you mysteriously disappear from the conversation.

In any case, considering I have not violated 3RR (your earlier complaint of the first 4 reverts were rejected, and I have only made 2 since), it baffles me why you have brought this content dispute over to here. Whitenoise123 (talk) 14:56, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

The 3RR vio is stale. I'm not going to block for the two recent reverts, but I am going to give this solid warning: Cut it the heck out. Start discussing what "class" the article should be in instead of playing this fort-da game, and by that I mean all of you. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 18:41, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

User keeps reverting something that was already discussed in depth months ago, ignoring said discussion and making absolutely no further effort to communicate his issue aside from a childish verbal attack despite repeated polite requests to do so.

It seems to me that both users are edit warring (I'm assuming from the notice on Everyroad's talk that he is the anon who was reverting before Everyroad started to). Neither has quite broken 3RR, as no four reverts fit into 24 hours. I'd prefer not to block if we can refrain from edit warring. Perhaps a third opinion or some other form of dispute resolution? Heimstern Läufer (talk) 01:03, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

The dispute shouldn't be happening in the first place, the source doesn't support the insertion of Russia therefor it should go unless a source can be found, what's the dispute? That was already determined months ago. I doubt dispute resolution will be able to force him into responding on talk and arguing his case, because he doesn't have a case aside from some obvious issues with "Russian bias".

Comments: The Fethullah Gülen article has been a perennial trouble spot, subject to severe sockpuppetting over the past few years. This is just the most recent example. Given that this user's very first logged-in edit was a request for peer review, and that this is the only article this user edits, I suspect this is the return of a previous long-term violator.

Basically, User:War and User:Proxy User have been engaged in a very long-running revert/edit war about whether this organization should be called a "club" or a "gang". Both consider the others' edits to be vandalism and revert as such. I left a 3RR warning on the talk pages of both users, as well as requesting a cease fire on the talk page. War has ceased, at least since my 3RR warning; Proxy User has deleted the warning from his page, accused me of attacking him and showing bias, stated on the Banditos Talk page that he would not comply, and has edited/reverted since the warning. Note his block log shows previous blocks for disruptive behavior.

Comment: see above. As you can see, 3 edits in 24 hours. While a user may be in breach of edit warring even while not reverting thrice in 24 hr, see above: there is obviously a concerted effort by the above three editors to push a certain POV, and explicit attempts to escalate the situation. [90]. Corticopia (talk) 05:15, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

As admins. can see, this is the second report in one day for user Corticopia (the other report is above this one). As you read, he is well aware of the 3RR and is just trying to play the system by limiting himself to revert "only 3 times in 24 hours". AlexCovarrubias ^{( Talk? )} 06:32, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

As usual, bytes of illogic and nonsense: you revert without commenting or discussing, and hurl insults. Herein, you also seem to favour unnecessary use of the bold feature to merely highlight your confirmation bias. Is your argument so weak that you cannot render simply? Anyhow, if you and your cohorts would discuss rationally, we'd be better off. So, who is being disruptive and gaming the system? I'll comment again when someone has something meaningful to say or contribute. Corticopia (talk) 07:46, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

No 4th revert, so 3RR was not breached. One instance of 3 edits/24 hrs is not indicative of gaming the system. We've seen far too many seemingly selective blocks that effectively lower the threshold of the 3RR — time to get back to the basics. El_C 08:59, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

• • TY. Corticopia (talk) 09:23, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

• No violation – there must be four or more reverts within a 24 hour period for the 3-Revert Rule to apply; the links you have provided do not meet these criteria. Stifle (talk) 09:03, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

And, please point out why reverting without commentary (as the reporter and accomplices have done above, instigating subsequent actions) after months of inactivity is any less acceptable?

Decision: It seems pretty clear cut that the IP is a sockpuppet. I have blocked both the reported user and the IP for 24 hours (only this IP seems currently active). To be even handed, I have also blocked the reporting user who, no doubt with the best intentions, also edit warred against the reported user, while clearly being fully aware of 3RR and aware of the fact that they were engaged in an edit war.

It should be noted that Caspian blue (talk · contribs · logs)

who also edited as Appletrees (talk · contribs · logs),

see [103]

is currently involved fairly heavy weight gaming of the Korean war crimes, Comfort women, Chinilpa and other Korean related topics.

I fear that whatever the merits of this allegation, this action should be seen in the context of a pattern of such allegations and distractions from the primary activity of content production and reference checking. Such wasteful activities can only discourage newcomers and genuine academics from participating in the Wikipedia.

Please note the author themselves also nominated the same topic for deletion. See; [104]

For transparency sake, I am the original author of the topic in question and have already come under a barrage of such allegations from this individual. --Ex-oneatf (talk) 05:11, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Again, your personal attack parade. However, your repeated false accusation here has nothing to do with Logitech95's violation. The user obviously violated more than 3RR (reverting 9 times!) just one weeks after his block for his 5RR violation. That is very disruptive. Besides, how do you know my previous user name. Although you created your current account two days aga, you're not clearly a new comer per your unreasonable behaviors at the mentioned articles and here. As you see I changed my name via WP:CHA. So what? The article has been disputed by many other editors. The two are against consensus. --Caspian blue (talk) 05:27, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm a bit unclear about the last two diffs (are these actual reverts?); although I can't say I'm too impress with Gdewilde's tone at the talk page. El_C 08:02, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Check the links. These are all for different issues. First it was length, which was fixed. Then it was for "balance", in which this editor replaced with an easily checked error. Then it was a different reason for another editor. These are not reverts, but attempts to edit in WP:VF from WP:RS while addressing concerns raised while doing so. Écrasez l'infâme (talk) 21:31, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

• Whether they were related or not does not change the 3RR. However, it's customary to warn people earlier in the process, and only to report them in the case of a further revert after that. Coupled with the fact that this case is nearly a day old, I don't think any further action on my part would accomplish anything. On a side issue, would DJ Clayworth please use the proper template (found at the bottom of this page) for future reports? Stifle (talk) 13:07, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

User cannot accept that there are 2 views on when the new millennium began. The popular view (1 Jan 2000) and the other (1 Jan 2001). I keep trying to establish balance on this question but he keeps reverting in an intolerant and bullying way.

Pro3RR has removed the official 3RR warning from his talk page. I have restored it.

The user appears to have a history of edit warring. He constantly reverts on a number of articles to protect a blatantly POV position. 62.64.210.156 (talk) 12:44, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

The user itself has violeted the 3rrs many times under one range of IP Addresses, it is acepted that one view is correct which is not the IP Address POV other usrs have reverted him calling him a vandal. Also lying that i have "a history" of edit warring which a quick look is not true and of course this is the only user i have warned that he is in violations of the 3rrs. he is enforcing his own POV onto wikipedia and shows lack of regard for other wikipedians. This report should be about the user not the other way round. Pro66 (talk) 12:50, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Also a quick look at the reverts shows that my edits were more nuetral and about what the article is about.....Music not what year the millennium had started this shows that he has been disrupting this article. Pro66 (talk) 13:01, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

format diffs 62.64.210.79 (talk) 14:04, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

the user is unfairly targeting me as he dissagree with me and what other wikipedians had put onto some articles, refuse to acknowledge what was said to him and what is accepted on theses articles, he never had discussions with others on why i have my views (which is accepted by many on wikipedia), and also he is the one who has breaked the 3rr. Pro66 (talk) 14:28, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Let's be honest. Both have technically violated WP:3RR. Pro66 has been warned. The IP hopping edit acting against consensus made the warning.

Warning of Pro66 by 62.64.210.156 12:48, July 18, 2008

The user had been warned previously for 3RR, as can be seen from the talk page, but I can't find the diff to see whether the warning was based on actual reverts or even edit warring.

I'm not going to block, because I believe the user's edits were supported by consensus at Wikipedia:WikiProject Time, and I'd reverted a number of the IP range's edits on other articles, but it's important to get the complete history. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 16:57, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your detailed work on this, Arthur. It is so useful, now and in the future, to have the history spelled out as you just did. I just finished leaving messages about the millennium issue on the talk pages for the article, Pro66 and the most recently used IP. --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:00, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

I have semi-protected the article for 72 hours, locking it in to the version compliant with WP:SEASON (i.e., the millenium began in 2001). --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:07, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

I escalated to full protection to the page, because semiprotection only prevents the ip from editing (let me know if that's a problem). Also, note that a "removal" does count as a revert. Finally, please do not restore 3rr (or other warnings) when a user removes them from their page — take that removal to indicate that they are now privy to it. Thx. El_C 17:16, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

El_C, full protection is fine by me although I'm not sure I see the point; the version I semi-protected was the WP:MoS-compliant version. I'm not aware of restoring any warnings deleted by either party. I did reinforce the earlier warning with additional comments and advice at User talk:Pro66#Millennium and 3RR; this was in response to the message Pro66 left me at User talk:A. B.#Admin?. If you think my comments there are inappropriate, please let me know -- thanks! --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:48, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

• Three-revert rule violation on Britic (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views).

Note, the dispute is over whether or not the page should be decapitalized, like iPhone is. Since "britic" has been marketed in lower-case, like the iPhone, with, in fact, the use of a capital 'B' in the spelling of "britic" going against the very definition of the britic spelling system itself, it was decided on the request for page moves before that it would use the decapitalization template. User:Nouse4aname however kept removing this, and refused to listen to explanations or warnings.

No mention of any previous agreement was provided to me regarding an agreement to place the page using lowercase. I realise I exceeded 3RR and have not changed the page since. My "history" of edit warring is only when previously dealing with the disruptive editor User:USEDfan and his socks.

Mitigating circumstances aside, it is a pretty straightforward 3rr violation by a user who was blocked for 3rr about a month ago. I would have opted for a block. El_C 17:43, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Oh yes, that's right, I have a couple of blocks (one which was over-turned), and so I must be only interested in disrupting the encyclopedia and have nothing to contribute, so why not block me, right? How about a little WP:AGF? I assume that the other user would also have been blocked considering they also broke WP:3RR....

I have discussed it with the user and the user now understands 3RR. I have also discussed with administrator Cailil who writes in his own talk page that blocking is inappropriate...writing "Having looked over this a bit I have to say that a block in this case now would be punitive and that's not what blocking is for - we don't block as punishment for infractions of the rules, we block to prevent further disruption. If Wikisurfer61 edit wars again report them to WP:AN3 and note the warning you gave them in this instance, but I think it best to AGF that this user has got the message"

So to those wanting block, I discussed it with the user, I asked an admin to block but the admin said it was not appropriate. I close this as a clerk. Chergles (talk) 23:18, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Problematic user with a history of 3RR/Edit warring violations, at least 6 blocks in the past for such violations

Extended discussion
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
There was no consensus for this merge, as seen at this discussion. Reporting user has a personal vendetta against me, and has often attempted to make my life difficult, despite my always editing in good faith and being a long-time and highly productive editor at Wikipedia. The right thing to do on the reporting editor's part was not to revert, over, and over again, insisting on this merge without discussion nor consensus, but in fact to discuss and develop consensus first. Badagnani (talk) 04:56, 20 July 2008 (UTC) There is no personal vendetta, when he is right, I acknowledge it; when he is wrong I point it out and when I am wrong I accept it. While I have tussled with him in the past, he does make good contributions when he follows the rules, the problem is when he doesn't. This is another case of him going loose cannon. I understand that he does get overzealous and forgets what to behave according to the roles set forth by WP, I simply want to know that others and I will not tolerate his mis behavior. Please look at his block log and you will see what I mean. Also, he has a habit of using verbiage and wording that attempts to deflect his behaviors onto other, of which I am one of. I was reasonable and quite correct in asking for discussion and consensus prior to (not after) the significant idea of a merge in this case. This request should have been accepted after the first revert (the request for discussion and consensus was made from the very start); instead it was escalated by the reporting editor into many reverts on his part, showing an impetuous character that is quite opposite the thoughtful, considered, collaborative, and collegial manner we should aspire to at Wikipedia. Badagnani (talk) 05:08, 20 July 2008 (UTC) Comment I looked for the discussion on the issue of the merge, but I could find neither Badagnani's rationale of his initial revert or Jerem43's rationale for his re-revert. It would be very helpful if one of you could provide me with a link to where you have been discussing since I am clearly looking in the wrong places (i.e. template and user talk pages.) CIreland (talk) 05:14, 20 July 2008 (UTC) There was no discussion. I made the edits per WP:Bold, Badgnani disagreed with my edits and just began reverting them instead of asking me why I was making them or starting a discussion on the template talk page, on my talk page or the general WP:F&D page. When I asked him, on his talk page, not to revert the changes I had made and ask for an RFC if he disagreed with my changes, he did not respond. I also asked him not to revert in my edit summaries and ask for an RFC if he did not agree. --Jeremy ( Blah blah...) 05:21, 20 July 2008 (UTC) The discussion does indeed exist, and is linked in my first response to this report. Such discussion (and consensus) is needed before such a significant merge, and, as mentioned above, was requested from the very first revert. A thoughtful, considered, collaborative, and collegial Wikipedian would likely have agreed to such a reasonable request rather than choose to revert again and again in an effort to get his ("bold") way. The request still stands (as well as the request to not report other users he does not like, on what are essentially content issues that are not germane to this page). Our fundamental cornerstone of discussion and consensus should be utilized in such cases, before (not after) such major edits are made. Thank you for your consideration. Regarding the message on my talk page, it was made in an intimidating and somewhat threatening manner, something that the reporting editor has unfortunately become known for. I see that the reporting editor, just after reporting me, in fact reverted yet again, to his preferred (merged) versions, again showing the lack of collegial manner this editor has unfortunately become known for. It's not too late to revert yourself and actually discuss and seek consensus, as requested from the very beginning. Badagnani (talk) 05:26, 20 July 2008 (UTC) The point being: somewhere in middle of the revert war, one of you could have (by which I mean should have) started a discussion since it was clear their opinion was contested. No-one has made a fourth revert yet but I would normally block an editor for edit-warring without any discussion regardless of the three-revert-rule. Start an RFC, ask at Wikipedia:WikiProject Food and drink, get a Third opinion or maybe even just discuss amongst yourselves but please make some concrete attempt to resolve the dispute that doesn't involve seeing who can get who blocked first (Answer:It would be a tie). CIreland (talk) 05:35, 20 July 2008 (UTC) Hi CIreland, the discussion you seek is indeed linked in the first comment I made at this report, just above. It is a bluelink and says "this discussion." As it's clear that the reporting editor has chosen to use "brute force," indeed reverting yet again just after making this report, do you agree that it's best to revert the templates to their original versions pending discussion and consensus? Badagnani (talk) 05:38, 20 July 2008 (UTC) That is all I am asking for, for a discussion before the whole sale issue of reverting several hours of work. My main problem was that Badagnani just starting hitting the Undo button, which I asked not to do. I will gladly accept this suggestion. The reason for my report is because of past dealings with him and his refusal to accept the requests and suggestions of others in those cases. I was afraid that he would follow the pattern of behavior that he has displayed before on this template (here) and other articles (here). --Jeremy ( Blah blah...) 05:43, 20 July 2008 (UTC) Thank you as well; as the reporting editor has reverted yet again, just after making this report, do you agree that it's best to revert the templates to their original versions pending discussion and consensus for the merge? Badagnani (talk) 05:45, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Page protected Good, I'll watchlist the discussion page. I dropped a note on Jerem43's talk page, since the location of the discussion is quite obscure. I'll also drop a note on the main WikiProject talk page. I'm going to protect the templates until such time as a consensus is reached. CIreland (talk) 05:52, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

I thank you for this; however, I see that you've protected the templates in the merged versions I had objected to, as the merge took place by "brute force." As the reporting editor reverted yet again, just after making this report, do you agree that it's best to revert the templates, in their protected versions, to their original versions pending discussion and consensus for the merge? I don't think that's too much to ask; otherwise it sends a strong message to the reporting editor that such "brute force," significant non-consensus merges may indeed be conducted without utilizing our project's fundamentally collaborative manner of editing, but may be imposed through insistent, repeated reverting prior to actual discussion and consensus.

No violation – there must be four or more reverts within a 24 hour period for the 3-Revert Rule to apply; the links you have provided do not meet these criteria. Stifle (talk) 20:02, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Reply: with all due respect, I feel that you are apply the letter of the rule, rather than its spirit. the relevant section within WP:3RR states: "Edit warring is disruptive, and attempts to avoid this rule are even more disruptive. Trying to avoid breaching this rule by only making two reverts per day over an extended period, for example, is "gaming the system" and can also lead to administrative action. Rules such as this exist as guidelines for action, but are not set standards. Editors should remember that edit warring is not helpful to building an encyclopedia, and adhere to the spirit of the rules rather than the letter." Ohconfucius (talk) 02:54, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

BLP problem. I took a look at the article. Vria and Eplgleplcl are adding unsourced defamatory material about specific teachers who work at the school. They keep putting in a section called Unpopular staff with questionable conduct and inadequate academic background. I have left admin warnings for both of these editors and urge that they be blocked if they restore this material again. EdJohnston (talk) 05:29, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

• These are several reverts over the course of a month. If there were, say, five reverts in 30 hours I might make a different decision.

He read it and after his reply on my talk page he keeps reinserting references to his work mentioning his name in several articles these edit wars are about. For similar self promotion (usually in combination with related edit wars) he has recently been blocked for a month or longer on several language versions of Wikipedia:

• 1 year on bg
• 1 year on de
• 1 month on el
• 3 months on fr
• 1 month on it
• 6 months on pl
• 1 year on sv
• "indefinite" on tr

Language I use leaves a lot to be desired? I have used one word of stress - "hell" - hardly a profanity. And I removed the tags due to the fact that they are not correct. If you actually cared to read them, it would be helpful. Also, reverting all my edits of today is Wiki-stalking, harrassment, and vandalism, considering that the other edits were undoubtedly correct, even if you are to consider the removal of the tags as not so. I also note that User:Angr was not given a 3RR warning for doing the exact same as I did? Hmm? 89.242.104.114 (talk) 21:44, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

You removed tags without explaining why and without using the talk page. Even if your reasons would be valid, you still violated 3RR.

Alison, a CheckUser has stated that despite Gold heart claiming that this is the whole of Ireland, that Gold heart is the only user on that /16, and ok'd a range block if he continued to evade his ban. (diff of alison's statement [187] is here) SirFozzie (talk) 23:29, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

If WP wants to rangeblock the whole of Ireland over two words, it might be interesting to some people. 93.107.134.96 (talk) 23:47, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. As said previously, by CheckUsers, the rangeblock is the whole of Gold heart, not of Ireland.) SirFozzie (talk) 23:56, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

over one policy, Gold heart. WP:BAN SirFozzie (talk) 23:47, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

By the way, when does this range block take effect? Gold heart is now vandalizing User:TharkunColl's page. GoodDay (talk) 00:06, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Should be in effect now. SirFozzie (talk) 00:12, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

• Comment - This was an undoing on my part of a mistaken category removal. The individual Tan Kai was born ca. 1973, but the year and date of birth is unknown. Thus, the category was quite correct.

After each of my restorations of the proper cat, I wrote to the editor who had removed it and left clear edit summaries stating that it was a properly placed category and should not be removed; however, that editor chose to engage, aggressively and without response, in reverting my correct restoration of the proper cat each time. Thus, the report is illogical 1) because the editor's edits were admittedly incorrect, and 2) because the reporting editor reverted his/her mistaken edits the same number of times, even after having been informed at least five times that his/her edits were mistakes (i.e., the removal of an accurately placed category). Badagnani (talk) 20:57, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Decision: The reported user was clearly edit warring although they have only reverted 3 times. I have blocked for 72 hours due to their fairly extensive history of blocks for edit warring, including two recent ones (the first of these two recent blocks was eventually reverted due to staleness of the request, but not due to an apparent lack of edit warring).

Birthplace of Marco Polo (Result: Malformed report)

I don't know if this is the proper place, because this is not a classic 3RR violation. I was adding edits to Birthplace of Marco Polo, but two Croatian users revert my edits. Despite I'm new in English wiki, I was already present in the Italian wiki, and I've alredy read En. wiki. so I had the chance to know about user:DIREKTOR and User:Zenanarh. This two problematic users often act together when a 3d revert is necessary, as in the present case. I am open to discussion in the talkpage. I'm sure I did errors! But the two allied users can't revert me, to force me to explain even evident things. I've asked them to re-correct my edits to point out the disputed claims, but they refused. They refuse to tell me where I am wrong! They just revert me! I ask the restoration of my version. I will give to the two user the time to correct just the disputed claim of my version. That seems me a correct agreement.

Declined – malformed report. Please use the "Click here to create a new report" link at the top of this page, which gives a template report, and provide complete diffs. We would expect to see a much more thorough discussion at Talk:Birthplace of Marco Polo before we would review this as a case of edit warring. Your only contribution to the talk page so far is a personal attack on the other editors. When we see contentious editing on pages about Italian/Croatian issues by brand-new editors, we do keep in mind a previous sockpuppet case. Please consider giving a pointer to your Italian Wikipedia username on your user page. EdJohnston (talk) 23:52, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

No violation – there must be four or more reverts within a 24 hour period for the 3-Revert Rule to apply; the links you have provided do not meet these criteria.--KojiDude ^(C) 00:02, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

But it's a sockpuppet. Take a look at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/200.215.40.3. It was trying to continue yesterday's revert-warring using a different identity—first as an IP, then Italicus, and now this. What now? ~ Troy (talk) 00:04, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Report the sockpuppeting to a different board (WP:ANI) or request a checkuser. There may be a blockable offense, but not for 3RR. You'll have to find the apporpriate place to report, or personally contact an admin.--KojiDude ^(C) 00:10, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
