Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring

Welcome to the edit warring noticeboard
This page is for reporting active edit warriors and recent violations of restrictions like the three-revert rule. See this guide for instructions on creating diffs for this report. If you see that a user may be about to violate the three-revert rule, consider warning them by placing {{subst:uw-3rr}} on their user talk page. You must notify any user you have reported. You may use {{subst:An3-notice}} ~~~~ to do so. You can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format. Additional notes When reporting a user here, your own behavior will also be scrutinized. Be sure you understand WP:REVERT and the definitions below first. The format and contents of a 3RR/1RR report are important, use the "Click here to create a new report" button below to have a report template with the necessary fields to work from. Possible alternatives to filing here are dispute resolution, or a request for page protection. Violations of other restrictions, like WP:1RR violations, may also be brought here. Your report should include two reverts that occurred within a 24-hour period, and a link to where the 1RR restriction was imposed. Definition of edit warring Edit warring is a behavior, typically exemplified by the use of repeated edits to "win" a content dispute. It is different from a bold, revert, discuss (BRD) cycle. Reverting vandalism and banned users is not edit warring; at the same time, content disputes, even egregious point of view edits and other good-faith changes do not constitute vandalism. Administrators often must make a judgment call to identify edit warring when cooling disputes. Administrators currently use several measures to determine if a user is edit warring. Definition of the three-revert rule (3RR) An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Violations of this rule normally attract blocks of at least 24 hours. Any appearance of gaming the system by reverting a fourth time just outside the 24-hour slot is likely to be treated as a 3RR violation. See here for exemptions. Sections older than 48 hours are archived by Lowercase sigmabot III.

Several IPs who may or may not be the same user keep on reverting two sections of the article: One is about what triggered the protests (it eventually turned out different sources actually make different claims about this), the other is a sentence about counterprotests.

• Declined. My guess is they are the same person. However, all you have are three reverts each one day apart. If it gets worse, you could come back here or go to WP:RFPP.

Comment: The part the ip claims to be the reason for the reverts was PEGIDA was founded in Dresden by a twelve-member group in response to plans to build new refugee centres in Dresden, which I based on the sentence Mr Bachmann started PEGIDA in October to protest plans to add 14 centres for roughly 2000 refugees in Dresden. from this source, which was used in the article before I ever edited it. Not sure about why the ip did have to revert other parts of said article.

Now that the user has started communicating, I think a page protection might be a bit premature - that is, unless she/he keeps on edit warring Yaan (talk) 19:38, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

• Warned — the SPI was confirmed by a checkuser, and I've dropped some appropriate warnings on Tunebroker (talk · contribs)'s talk page. The edits in question haven't violated WP:3RR yet, and I don't immediately see any extensive history of prior edit warring, so for now, while it's sketchy to say the least, there's not a glaringly severe policy breach from what I can see. If the edit warring continues, however, regardless of sock—and especially if done with the sock—this situation escalates, so feel free to re-open or drop another report here should any of that occur. --slakr^\ talk / 08:40, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

The following is just the latest of several instances since Ed left his message on the user's talk page: [16]. At this point I think it's safe to say the editor has no intention of stopping their edit-warring behavior, lack of communication, and re-adding of content not referenced.

Comments:
This user operates a single purpose account focusing on historical subject matter to contrive an All-Russian nation rendering of Eastern Slavic history. The user has broken the 3 Revert Rule immediately after his previous block (regarding the same article) expired.

Editor refuses to accept the consensus at the talk page. Multiple users, including myself, have patiently reasoned with him on the talk page for days. Discussion there falls on deaf ears, as he ignores the sources agreed upon by the consensus, reverting them to his own. The sources have been continuously refuted, which he as cherry picked to follow his WP:POV. Several of his sources actually confirm the majority consensus. Ignores WP:MOS for the WP:Lede. The user has been warned routinely on the article talk page, edit summarizes, as well as his user talk page.--BoguSlav 22:31, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

• Turns out they're already talking. Ушкуйник (7 comments) is arguing his point against BoguSlav (6), Irnya Harpy (2), and Faustian (2). Perhaps the 48-hour temp protect will prevent further disruption while they sort out the issues. Jsharpminor (talk) 03:18, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

He kept going after the last block (3 days ago) without missing a beat. I asked User:Ушкуйник to reply to this complaint. If he continues to edit Wikipedia while making no response here admins should consider an indefinite block. EdJohnston (talk) 03:13, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Sorry Ed; I accidentally started from the second one and blocked the dude for a week without having seen this/your intervention (I thought that he was referring to the last report that got him blocked; not this report). :P That said, I'm 100% in agreement with indef blocking if he keeps going after this. --slakr^\ talk / 08:17, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Im not sure why, but this user seems to be making it his/her business to revert all my edits. And for tiny little reasons too. I feel that my edits are constructive edits, yet this person seems to think that destroying other peoples work is the best way for him to deal with things.

Adlhgeo1990 (talk) 02:32, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Adlhgeo1990, lacks understanding of WP:BLP policy about adding contentious material. What this User has been adding here[19][20][21][22] (the first instance is I believe when not logged in) is their interpretation of raw source material. It is not stated explicitly in the cited reference. If my interpretation is wrong, I am more than willing to apologize, but given that it involves a BLP article, I was erring on the side of caution and on behalf of the site and the subject. I am claiming a 3RR BLP exception. --Scalhotrod (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 02:38, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

• May I just point out that, at first blush, this seems like the pot calling the kettle black? Your user history shows that your very first edit was to revert Scalhotrod. In fact, of your 9 edits, 44% of them have been to revert Scalhotrod. Can you say that 44% of Scalhotrod's edits have been to revert you? I think not. Jsharpminor (talk) 02:40, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

I suppose it would appear that way, but I made this account earlier today to try and defend my work from this user, I usually browse and edit from various IP addresses, and have been editing Wikipedia for several years anonymously. 02:51, 27 December 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adlhgeo1990 (talk • contribs)

The relevant policies here, and I would strongly suggest both parties review them, can be found here: WP:PS, WP:BLPPRIMARY Jsharpminor (talk) 02:54, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

The actual relevant question here is this: is Adlhgeo drawing his own conclusions? It's a fact that these emails exist, and have been credited to Evan Spiegel. The only remaining question is if Adlhgeo is doing OR by stating succinctly what is contained in them. I tend to think that, upon reviewing the content and comparing it with PS and BLPPRIMARY, it's probably a tough call. Even so, Adlhgeo, there is no cause to continually restore this material time and again. Take it to the talk page, and no, edit summaries don't count as talk pages. Jsharpminor (talk) 03:00, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Jsharpminor, I appreciate your comments and analysis. What I was going by is the usage of "contentious" used in WP:BLP. Its bad enough that there is a "Controversy" section in the subject's article, but I've seen far lesser claims not only deleted, but blocks handed out for their repeated addition when the source does not explicitly or directly support a claim. This is far from an instance of Wikipedia:You don't need to cite that the sky is blue. --Scalhotrod (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 03:17, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Scalhotrod: Indeed. Jsharpminor (talk) 03:21, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

• Adlhgeo1990, you are Warned that if you violate WP:BLP in any article in the future, you risk being blocked without notice. Scalhotrod is correct in their assessment that you are interpreting primary sources (the e-mails) and then characterizing them. This is impermissible, particularly in an article about a living person. I might add that it doesn't help that the section is sourced to a blog in the first instance. @Scalhotrod, in the future, it is best to claim the BLP exemption in your edit summaries when you get into this kind of battle.--Bbb23 (talk) 06:12, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Bbb23, thank you for the advice. The characterization was my assessment from the begining including when I started a discussion on talk page[23]. But this was the first time that the need for WP:3RRBLP exemption presented itself. Regards, --Scalhotrod (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 18:06, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your assistance and time, and sorry to have wasted everyone's time here. The BLP exemption was only added by the user after he was busy trying to figure out a way to avoid being blocked. Parts of the article regarding the blog were already there and sourced as such, so I simply expanded by informing people as to the contents of the email without them needing to read the entire article. Best regards to everyone. Adlhgeo1990 (talk) 07:17, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

This is a clear case when one editor adds controversial content, is opposed by editors, and then with a help of a friend edit-wars intensively in order to win the edit. The edit summary directing opposing editors like myself to the talk-page is clearly provocative as per BRD he is the one that added content and against any consensus is edit-warring to keep it in the article. I know he didn't made 4 reverts in less than 24 hours but it is not a new editor, and he is well aware of the rules, and he just abuses the revert button. I already saw that in that same article they bullied one senior editor, and I decided to intervene and they just keep on pushing the revert button, so I am asking here please here to block the user in order to show him that such behavior is not tolerated here. FkpCascais (talk) 05:11, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Please note that the user needs to make "more than three reverts within a 24 hour period", meaning 4 or more edits....did the user only make three edits? Adlhgeo1990 (talk) 05:23, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

@Adlhgeo1990 - That's not necessarily true. 3RR is a bright-line rule. It's like a barrier that's a few meters down a forbidden path. You don't have to break through the barrier to be on the path, but it's clear that if you have, you're indisputably where you should not be. The correct procedure is bold, revert, discuss. You boldly make an edit, and when someone reverts your edit you don't revert it back — you go to the talk page. Jsharpminor (talk) 06:24, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Pincrete is repeatedly adding synthesized material, stating that "positive responses to the film have largely come from Serbian sources," and that "other reviews have largely been negative." Jsharpminor (talk) 06:09, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

• Page protected (full) for one week. I have also taken the unusual step of reverting the article to the version without the uncited ethnic comments. If during the lock, editors in favor of adding them back can find reliable sources to back them up, fine. Without that, they cannot remain in the article.--Bbb23 (talk) 06:26, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
• @EdJohnston:: You might want to take a look at this, having previously given a final WP:ARBMAC warning to those involved at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RRArchive255#User:Pincrete and User:UrbanVillager reported by User:Psychonaut (Result: Both warned). (I'll also note that this article, and/or the behaviour of its two or three most prolific editors, has been cropping up every few months at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents for years.) —Psychonaut (talk) 08:31, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

I've dropped an "official" DS warning ({{alert}}) on a few talk pages just in case they didn't get the memo the first time around (also because it adds an edit-filter tag so that other admins know down the line without having to dig into page history :P). --slakr^\ talk / 09:29, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

User:FkpCascais Re your remark: "This is a clear case when one editor adds controversial content, is opposed by editors, and then with a help of a friend edit-wars intensively in order to win the edit", firstly 'editors' is plural, until yesterday when YOU made an edit, only ONE editor has opposed the content, others have supported it. If the wording is inappropriate or 'synth', then let us discuss it on talk, which I will do when I have time over the next few days. You have failed to inform or even mention the other editor (whom I was reverting), failed to inform Bobrayner and failed to attempt to resolve this on talk, but brought the matter here immediately after your own edit was reverted. Pincrete (talk) 13:29, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Bbb23, I have already said (on talk), that if present wording is 'synth', I am happy to change it. However, what exactly is being objected to ? Are you saying that mention of the magazine/website's nationality is ITSELF inappropriate? That seems strange, especially as the film is intimately concerned with FYR and policies of US/UK/EEC. BTW 'reviews' are positive first, negative later, though negative are more numerous and more 'authoritive'. Pincrete (talk) 14:39, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: I opened discussion regarding one edit war and Faissaloo opened one about another edit war.

Comments:
On his talk page, Faissaloo acknowledge the edit war and agreed to stop in favor of discussion. He also mentioned at the article talk page the edit that Dizzyzane made. It seems like restrain was attempted, but he was not able to disengage and insisted on reverting the 4th time; marking that edit as minor and yelling in all caps about it didn't help either. only (talk) 12:10, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

I don't think he read the talk page, it's been like that for more than 12 hours now and he hasn't replied, also I wasn't edit warring with Dizzyzane, I only reverted 1 of his changes. I've only been involved in an edit war with 1 user (I believe it was regarding the FBI stuff), and I stopped when I was warned. Faissaloo (talk) 12:44, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

THat was your 3rd revert related to the infobox, though. You reverted ThePowerofX twice and Dizzyzane once regarding the infobox (twice to restore when ThePowerofX removed it, once to change the "type" in it). Then, yes, a second edit war related to the FBI section with myself. only (talk) 12:57, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

I spoke to ThePowerofX in the talk page and we came to the conclusion that Lizard Squad are a hacker group, he just didn't see the section regarding the Machinima.com hack, so the revert was agreed upon: "I was unaware of the earlier attack on Machinima Inc. That said, I have removed the Lizard avatar from the infobox until a reliable source identifies this as their official logo. — TPX 19:56, 26 December 2014 (UTC)", also, I did not revert the logo, someone else did Faissaloo (talk) 13:03, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Faissaloo, if you came to an agreement, the other user ought to have self-reverted, instead of you reverting them. I'm not sure you understand what edit warring is. It's defined as repeatedly reverting to your own preferred version (whole or in part) of an article, not as warring with somebody in particular. It doesn't make any difference which other editor you were reverting. You might be blocked right now, if it wasn't for the fact that you're new (I'm discounting your first few edits a while back) and you misunderstood the policy. As it is, I won't block you, and I don't recommend anybody else to do it either. But I'm warning you : don't perform any reverts on Lizard Squad again, at least for the next few days (in fact, you might be safer not editing it at all in 2014, but that's just advice), and do have a good read of the edit warring policy. Bishonen | talk 13:09, 27 December 2014 (UTC).

Very well then, I won't edit Lizard Squad until 2015, I don't think the article will need me for a while anyways since I've got most of the stuff I know about already in there, thanks! Faissaloo (talk) 13:20, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Sounds good, thank you for being so reasonable. Bishonen | talk 13:47, 27 December 2014 (UTC).

My comment: If you see the summary of the edition I made: "However, this will be my last edition like this". Hence, I have claimed that I will not change anything again before you notice me. Also, please see the final version of the article which is [26].My last edition was at 21:31, 27 December 2014 but was immediately reverted by user;CurtisNaito at 21:38, 27 December 2014 (Only 7 minutes later). His edition became the final version and I did not change anything when my edition was reverted by him. It is like what I claimed in edition summary the previous edition"will be my last edition". That means I stopped to edit anything when somebody immediately revert my edition. After that, I did not do anything. I did not change again when somebody revert the edition three times. Miracle dream (talk)

• Comment: It's clearly 4 reverts of the same material in a 24-hour period. But I have this question: What is the issue that's being discussed here? Can you summarize what the substantive difference is between the two versions? Jsharpminor (talk) 00:22, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
• Comment: This and the below report are the same thing. Both reports are correct. Miracle Dream and Curtis Naito are both edit warring here. Jsharpminor (talk) 00:28, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
  • Comment: It is about the Nanking massacre. In Feburary, there are two month discussion about this topic. At last, the consensus is neutrally to keep all claim from different scholars. Hence, the result in article Nanking Massacre is " The death toll has been actively contested among scholars since the 1980s, with typical estimates ranging from 40,000 to over 300,000." or "During this period, between 40,000 to over 300,000 (estimates vary) Chinese civilians and disarmed combatants were murdered by soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army." Then editors tried to use this summary edit all articles related to Nanking Massacre which include article Battle of Nanking. However user Curtis Naito rewrote this article by ignoring the previous discussion. The discussion before is Talk:Nanking_Massacre/Archive_8). Curtis Naito joined the 2 month discussion before. After this rewritten, the figure is "Though the Japanese also committed random acts of murder, rape, looting, and arson during their occupation of Nanking, military historian Masahiro Yamamoto notes that of the more than 40,000 corpses buried in and around Nanking after the fall of the city only 129 were women or children which suggests that the large majority of the victims of the massacre were adult Chinese men taken by the Japanese as former soldiers and massacred." Please see this version [27]. Then in December, I added contents again and keep the figures following the main article Nanking Massacre. After some version changed, the article became current version.

Thank you very much for the explanation. Jsharpminor (talk) 00:38, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

All editors involved are hereby warned that any further contentious edits to the disputed sections, without reaching consensus on the talk page, may result in immediate blocks with no notice. Please, continue the discussion on the talk page and do not perform any further reverts. This does not mean that no blocks will be given for behavior already exhibited; that is up to administrator discretion. Involved editors include, but are not limited to, Miracle dream, MtBell, Curtis Naito, and TH1980. Other editors may face the same sanctions if they come to participate in the warring. Jsharpminor (talk) 00:37, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

I am very confused here. 10 months ago, we have a long discussion which involved more than 10 users. At last, we spent 2 months to reach the consensus. Now someone want to change the article, then we need to discuss again? Hence, it made previous consensus become totally useless by this theory. Then after 10 months, many users in that discussion left wiki. It is unfair to those users who joined the discussion before.Miracle dream (talk)

You and Curtis Naito are the primary two actors in this edit war; as you have both cooperated I doubt very highly that either will be blocked in the immediate future. Curtis's post below seems to contradict the statement that a consensus was ever reached. If you could link to that discussion where a consensus was reached 10 months ago, that would be helpful. In any case, there's apparently a discussion to be had, so let's have it on the talk page. We can move forward from there. Jsharpminor (talk) 00:56, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

The information in the article had been stable for many months and at the time I thought it was inappropriate that contentious edits be added to the article when three of the five participants in the talk page were clearly opposed. In the talk page of the article, only two people agreed that a consensus among Wikipedia users had ever been reached which should appropriately have been applied to this article. Most were against the change and even those who remained neutral disagreed that any previous consensus had ever been reached. It seems I did go over three reverts once over a week ago on 15 December 2014, but that was before the talk page discussion had started and I stopped reverting after receiving a warning on my talk page on 27 December 2014‎.CurtisNaito (talk) 00:50, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Comments:

User has reverted other users, without ensuing discussion, on The Pinkprint numerous times within 24-hours and has been warned against said edits. They're also acting in force of owning the article as it is the primary article they've edited since joining the site days ago. User was warned, with attempt to discuss within warnings; user ignored warnings, instead, removing them from their talk page. livelikemusic ^{my talk page!} 01:23, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

First observations:

1. Removing warnings isn't ignoring them. In fact, removing warnings is not only allowed, but it is prima facie evidence that the user in question has seen those warnings.
2. It's odd that you would bring this report up to AN3 when the last edit on the page was 16 hours ago.

The above being said, I don't deny that there may be a real problem here. Jsharpminor (talk) 01:33, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

3. Isn't it a tad hypocritical for you to complain that this user is removing warnings from their talkpage when they asked you to link them to a policy on your talkpage, and you removed it without answering the question? Jsharpminor (talk) 01:44, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

I doubt it, because this is the 'edit warring' noticeboard, so a possibly-probably-incorrect CSD tagging (since removed) is unlikely to be relevent. Feel free to discuss it if you want, though. As long as you are just not trying to find a reason to persecute me.

As I understand Wikipedia, the point of any requests to admins - such as here, or ANI, or whatever - are to prevent disruption. I think, in this case, you are causing disruption through your complaints.

Sure sounds like edit-warring when you post a bunch of diffs like that...unless people actually look at them. If they do, they'll see 2 attempts at hatting a side-discussion, 1 revert due to the unblock to reinstate the sensible edit, and a couple of edits entirely unrelated, in a separate thread, attempting to DENY.

Hence, your post above is entirely misleading.

This isn't a case for EW. If you really want to continue to persecute me (which apparently you do, merely because I've edited before and thus surely am a sock), I suggest you try making a case from it.

There is no simple reason to block me. And if you do, it really won't help anything.

I suggest you stop harassing me, and let me get on with editing articles. Igor the facetious xmas bunny (talk) 09:14, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

• No violation I hope some admin will take stock of the other report of the same user below, which seems to have more meat to it, because I don't have the time, but I'm closing this one as no violation. It's about all sorts of stuff, that can perhaps be raised elsewhere — the speedy tag was ridiculous, for example — but by no stretch of the imagination has the user edit warred on Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently. Posting something, such as a speedy tag, which is then reverted by somebody else is not a "revert", for crying out loud, Legacypak. I can't see where the xmas bunny has reverted even once on the Raqqa article, so the 1RR restriction is moot, if it were even a proper complaint for this board, which it isn't.

Comments:User is currently the subject of an ANI discussion into his/her behavior. User has also been reported here for edit warring violations. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 09:57, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Diff 4 is unrelated. The user is harassing me, to try and get me blocked. WP:BOOMERANG time? Igor the facetious xmas bunny (talk) 10:01, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Still a revert. Doesn't have to be related, just a revert added to the others within a 24 hour period. Seems weird that alot of users are trying to "harrass" you and "get you blocked". Perhaps it isn't them, but it's you. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 10:04, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Why in the world is this editor blanking long sections of an article about a Thai scientist DOes he seriously think someone made up the gui's work history? Legacypac (talk) 10:08, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

That's unrelated. Discuss it in the appropriate place. Igor the facetious xmas bunny (talk) 10:11, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

No, I did not try to discuss the dispute on the article talk page, neither did Igor. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 10:14, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

It's a user talk page... Can we get that block reinstated already? Hes threatening to release thousands of draft articles now. Legacypac (talk) 10:19, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Don't be ridiculous and so melodramatic. I was discussing the principles of new users making new articles on Wales' talk page, is all. Sheesh, get a grip. Igor the facetious xmas bunny (talk) 11:23, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Legacypac has been here since 2007, I've been here since 2006, you have been here since yesterday. You are the new user, not us. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 11:28, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

This is not the correct venue for this discussion, so I will disengage. Igor the facetious xmas bunny (talk) 11:35, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Riiiight, like you were going to disengage on Jimbo's talk page and on ANI. Believe it when I see it. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 11:38, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

• Note. Based on the closure at ANI and the pending report at SPI, it would be best not to take action on this board. No comment as to the merits of the report.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:55, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

•  No action Both editors are responsible for edit warring, but Igor was the worse because he was fooling with somebody else's comments, and Neutralhomer was arguably justified in restoring his own comments. Gorillawarfare has vouched for Igor. Please complain to her about his actions if anything new happens. At this time I see no benefit to issuing blocks for this incident, and see a risk that it could make things worse. Jehochman ^Talk 16:18, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Comments:

Edit-warring for days adding material which is reverted by multiple editors without obtaining consensus first on the talkpage. Latest reversions are only a sample. This has been going on much longer since at least 22 December. Directing personal attacks at others. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 23:18, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Remark from user: Every single addition, or even request for reference gets removed. For example: the position of Australia on this case is clear, as can be seen in: link Yet upon adding it to the article it gets removed with the reason "Disingenous remarks - please do not lump Australia's government together with the blatantly denialist countries like Turkey and Azerbaijan. In Australia there are genocide memorials and commemorations that gov. officials take part in each year" The position of the government of Australia is clear, and properly sourced in the Wikipedia article. You should not blame me for an edit war, but ask the user removing it why such properly sourced information is removed.--Behzat (talk) 23:55, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
