[edit] User:infinity0

Three revert rule violation on Socialism (edit|talk|history|links|logs). infinity0 (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log):

Reported by: -- Vision Thing -- 19:15, 26 April 2006 (UTC) Comments: 4th revert happened 24 hours and 55 minutes after first revert, but this user already broke 3RR 3 times (1 2 3) in last 3 months and I think he delayed last revert on purpose to avoid breaking 3RR technically. -- Vision Thing -- 19:15, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Vision Thing seems to have a thing against me. In my defence, I did NOT violate 3RR, and Vision Thing's (spam) edits were reverted by other users too. -- infinity0 19:45, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Infinity0: it is best to show diffs containing the reverts Vision Thing did -- your response will have more weight in you handle it this way. --LuckyLittleGrasshopper 19:49, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Gephart

Three revert rule violation on The Ave. (edit|talk|history|links|logs). Gephart (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log):

Reported by: Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 23:41, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Comments:

  • Experienced user. Reverts concern the removal of a pic which no-one else so far has had a problem with. He is assuming bad faith and has already declared his intention here to carry out a revert war until he gets his way . - Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 23:41, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
    • I dont exactly know if users have the option to defend themselves or were they would do it, so I, Gephart, will do it right here (if this is not the place, please direct to the appropriate area or let me know i have not chance). Although i have been using wikipedia for a little under a year, i can honestly say i never knew about the 3RR (i know for the future). I guess i have never had any trouble with other users up until today. Calgacus continued to revert what i had done without being willing to discuss the picture in question. And, as i noticed above, he posted another 3RR violation, stating "the persons unwillingness to discuss," so i know he can imagine the frustration i was feeling. I posted twice on the article talk page and once on his user page, but got no direct answer to the simple questions i asked him; he continually beat around the bush to put it. I know i violated policy is "declaring an edit war" in my last post, put that simply came out of frustration, and my intents were never genuine. Anyways, that is my side of the story.--Gephart 00:56, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
OK, I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, but this edit to your own user page is quite ridiculous, shocking and disgraceful, containing falsehoods such as "Calgacus will start a mini-revert war" (actually, you, as you admit here, started it), "he intentionally ignores talk pages" (I actually responded to all your comments all the talk page) and slander "cause you to violate the 3RR rule" (you yourself did this), "intentionally" (who could you know?). I reported you here because I like to edit articles and concentrate on content, so I report all 3RRs I come across. The latter edit has discredited your attempt to convince of your own good faith. I remind you to consult WP:Assume good faith, and very much hope you don't need a block to reform your character. Thanks. - Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 21:50, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Comments: If looked at Special:Contributions/Manojlo user continues to revert continuously, hiding behind the claim that "minor parts" are edited, and misleads with the Comments, but in fact he is trying to impose his POV. I put several test warnings to him, but he just kept removing them from his talk page. Action is appreciated. Thank you, Ilir pz 19:01, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

It's not my job to babysit him - how many users is that ludicrous propaganda of his being reverted by? He knows he oughtn't continue reverting, but he does it anyway. Quite evidently (from his user talk page), many users have tried to speak with him, alas, in vain. Telex 18:09, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
I haven't seen you try to talk with Greier...--Steaua 18:10, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Comments: He violates etiquette about the talk page. Ardenn 16:45, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Getting into edit wars on peoples own talk pages is unproductive and offensive. William M. Connolley 18:37, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
I concur. I've already spoken with Ardenn about how ridiculous it is to consider as vandalism a user's removal of his obviously too large signature from their talk page (the image in Ardenn's current signature is much smaller that the one he left on the talk page in question), as he left a message about vandalism over this issue prior to this report of a 3RR violation. I am absolutely certain that Ardenn understands that what he is arguing over is exceedingly unimportant, and yet he insists on making an issue out of it.  OZLAWYER  talk  20:09, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

The only previous time I was blocked the admin apoligized later [49].

Reported by: AmiDaniel (Talk) 06:48, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Comments:

  • User is repeatedly adding POV to the article and removing legitimate text, though he refuses to cite sources (not that that's relevant when investigating 3RR)
  • His submissions have been reverted by three separate editors.
  • User has been sufficiently warned, yet refuses to stop.
Are these really reverts? They look like insertions of different POV text William M. Connolley 08:04, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
I was just about to say the same thing. Ami, can you show where he has reverted to text you had deleted, or repeatedly inserted something? SlimVirgin (talk) 08:06, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
No, I suppose I can't. I've only reverted one of his edits, and then one of the article's main contributors (of which I'm not) asked me to do something about him as he had refused to stop inserting POV into the article. Looking at the history it seemed to be 3RR, so I listed him here. I guess I should have looked more closely. He seems to have either given up now or gone to bed, so I guess there's no reason to take any action. If the problem persists, hopefully they'll open up an RfC--I was just trying to find a quick and temporary solution to a problem that I shouldn't have gotten involved with in the first place. Sorry for taking your time. AmiDaniel (Talk) 18:12, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Gene Nygaard

3RR violation on Wikipedia talk:Reliable sources (edit|talk|history|links|logs)

Reported by SlimVirgin (talk) 08:03, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Comments

Gene Nygaard has reverted my archiving of the talk page four times in 90 minutes, part of a pattern of disruption from him that has been going on there for days. He has been editing for some time and is familiar with the 3RR policy. SlimVirgin (talk) 08:01, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Um. It looks like no-one (including me) wants to step into your edit war with GN. You both know whats-what. You (both) shouldn't be edit warring over archiving a talk page. For what its worth, my preference is to archive, unless people object, in which case it can be left for a week or a month or whatever William M. Connolley 22:38, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
William, are you saying it's okay for him to violate 3RR because it's a talk page? If so, he'll simply keep on doing it. SlimVirgin (talk) 01:07, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
Don't you feel downright silly for having said that, then being blocked yourself for the same thing? Gene Nygaard 02:06, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Violating 3RR to scuttle the archiving of a page is not just lame, but disruptive. There's no legitimate excuse. Blocked for 24 hr for the 3RR vio. Any further disruption when the block expires will earn him another 24. FeloniousMonk 01:58, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Seems like SV has also violated 3RR (see below) and in this case seems to have archived discussion less than a day old. Given my experience of her removing comment she doesn't like, I am, unfortunately, not surprised. We should expect evenhandedness in applying 3RR. In fact I'll go further and say admins who violate policy should be dealt with more firmly than ordinary users. Mccready 05:45, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

  • She reverted herself on that long before you even made your complaint, as you well know, so this accusation is little more than trolling at this point. Also, this section is about Gene Nygaard's 3RR violation, it's not a venue for attacking people you don't like; furthermore, your continued Wikistalking of User:SlimVirgin must cease. Jayjg (talk) 05:53, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
Have you actually read WP:CIVIL yourself, Jayjg? Why are you going off on a personal attact on an editor who is not even a subject of a notice of 3RR violation, engaging in namecalling and in an ad hominem argument unrelated to anything that editor has said here? Gene Nygaard 03:16, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Sorry Jay, I don't well know that at all. In any case her comments below appear to be a mea culpa. I don't suppose you'd consider apologising to me? May I remind you to be civil and not make illogical accusations? Mccready 06:57, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Her self-block goes above and beyond the call of duty, and just serves to highlight her acute sense of responsibility, justice and fairplay. I'd recommend not putting words in her mouth, especially considering the amount you have been harassing her. I don't suppose you'd consider desiting from your continued violations of WP:CIVIL?

  • I don't mean to intrude, but there is a theoretical 3RR violation (depending on how nitpicky the admin wants to be). If you check all diffs, you'll notice that he's removed the link Persians at least five times (so we have four reverts). According to the policy, partial reverts count as well. Telex 14:08, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
    • I don't see any more then three reverts. Prodego talk 14:10, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
There are six reverts there. As per WP:3RR, not all the reverts have to be the same, any undoing of another editor's work counts as a revert. --ManiF 14:19, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
  • It's three straight forward reverts, and then two more edits to accomplish the same thing (change to an ethnicity of Arab). Looks like a straight forward attempt at wikilawyering to me, and he should know better.

"rv / v Gulliver - You have reverted this 3 times already. The last 2 times were vandalism. Stop now or face 3RR and vandal report"

Here are the real diffs: revert 1, partial revert 1, attempted compromise 1, attempted compromise 2, attempted compromise 3. At that point I left the article for others to worry about. Incidentally, I don't actually like those compromises. As I argued, I believe it is best to make such a controversial assertion ("part of the War on Terrorism") in the body of the text, where it can be attributed and explained.
It is also worth noting that Merecat is refusing to enter discussion on the matter, by deleting comments on his talk page. He has also misused vandalism templates and been warned for it. He has also reverted the article three times and risks breaking the 3RR. — Gulliver ✉ 05:46, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Three revert rule violation on Wikipedia talk:Reliable sources (edit|talk|history|links|logs). SlimVirgin (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log):

WP should be about even-handedness not sysops supporting each other without adequate research.

Comments:

    • She reverted herself on that long before you even made your complaint, as you well know, so this accusation is little more than trolling at this point. Also, your continued Wikistalking of User:SlimVirgin must cease. Jayjg (talk) 05:51, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Jay am I wrong that she arhived the page 4 times within 24 hours? I don't understand what you mean by saying she reverted herself. I'm always happy to learn. Mccready 06:02, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

I hadn't reverted four times when I reported Gene Nygaard. After he was blocked (or around the same time; I forget the sequence exactly), I went back to Wikipedia talk:Reliable sources and I restored the archiving that Gene had reverted, without realizing that I was still within the 24 hour period. As soon as I realized, I reverted myself. Normally, that's enough to avoid a block for 3RR. However, as an admin, I should have been more careful, and as someone who had just reported someone else for 3RR, I should have been more careful still, so I'm going to block myself now for 24 hours. SlimVirgin (talk) 06:13, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

This appears noble Slim and I assume good faith, but to make it more lifelike would you agree that Gene should be able to nominate (at any time within the next 30 days) a time for you to go offline for 24 hours from the time of his nomination? Mccready 07:14, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Wow, what a solution Mcready, I can obviously see how it relates to your complaint.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 07:59, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
Let's keep this in perspective. SV was trying to archive a talk page that contained nothing more than fruitless and disruptive agitation from a chronic malcontent. Gene Nygaard's opposition to the archiving was nothing more than insisting on yet further disruption. SV was in the right to archive and Gene Nygaard was in the wrong to repeatedly revert it. In responding to Gene Nygaard's unwarranted reversions, SV's actions did not rise to the level of a block for 3RR, while Gene's certainly did. I'm fine with SV being unblocked, but not with Gene Nygaard. FeloniousMonk 15:41, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
It's nice to see your selective indignation at work, FeloniousMonk! What happened to "Violating 3RR to scuttle the archiving of a page is not just lame, but disruptive"?
Note also that SlimVirgin also has a history of using "archiving" of active discussion as a pretext for stifling talk page discussion. This isn't the first time she's pulled that out of her bag of tricks, nor the first time edit-war about it. It should surprise no one when such actions are not submissively acceded to. See, e.g., Talk:Pan Am Flight 103/Archive 1 and the corresponding talk page edits on those dates. Gene Nygaard 02:19, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
It's nice to see your selective indignation at work. Let's see: selective: "[T]ending to select; characterized by careful choice; "an exceptionally quick and selective reader"- John Mason Brown. [C]haracterized by very careful or fastidious selection; "the school was very selective in its admissions" Seems appropriate. --Calton | Talk 02:40, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
I'm not the only one who found SlimVirgin's actions offensive. See Wikipedia talk:Reliable sources#Why are 3 day old comments from active discussions in the talk archive?, and note that the originator of that section was often on the opposite side of the discussion from me. Gene Nygaard 02:57, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Yea I don't understand why she blocked herself in the first place.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 22:55, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
Always have to throw in an attempt to show that you are the boss here, don't you, SV?
I notice that, unlike the sysop who blocked me, the one who blocked you gave you an opportunity to offer an explanation here first.
In a more sensible world, some other sysop would tack on an additional 24 hours for conduct unbecoming a sysop, in presuming to act as a judge in your own case.
Curiously, your self-reversion of your own fourth revert not only came a rather long 4 h 26 minutes after that reversion, but also and more tellingly, only after I had pointed out to User:FeloniousMonk by email (because he was the one who blocked me, and because I therefore could not post it here) that you had also violated 3RR. Any connection? FM never bothered to reply to me; looks mighty suspicious about him contacting you, however, and that being the real reason behind your 5th revert in 24 hours being a self-revert. Gene Nygaard 02:06, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Can someone please unblock Slim? Blocks are not punishments and it's clear that she understands what she did wrong and one would hope will try not to do it again. It is strangely difficult though, one notes, to do the right thing when Gene Nygaard is involved. Why is that, I wonder? Grace Note 02:15, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

I suspect that SlimVirgin took the unusual step of acting as a judge in her own case was to make it less likely that someone would be damn fool enough to do that, and expose an inherent unfairness in the way sysops treat other sysops in this process. Gene Nygaard 03:06, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
I suspect that you are not familiar with this policy or this one. I don't see any need to indulge you further until you are well acquainted with both. -- Grace Note.
Huh? If there is any "good faith" issue here, that possibility is giving her every benefit of the doubt. Any other explanation I could think of to try to explain acting as a judge in her own case would involve an improper abuse of power. Gene Nygaard 04:12, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Maybe it would help if I were more to the point. I think it would be a good thing if that is what she had in mind. I'm not assuming bad faith; that would be a good reason. You might take me to task about speculating about something I don't know for sure, but a lecture on assuming good faith is out of place. Gene Nygaard 14:26, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Generally if a person reverts four times in error and self-reverts their fourth revert, it isn't judged as a 3rr vio - after all, the point of the rule is preventative, not punitive. I would read the matter in the same way whether it was an established editor I liked, or a newcomer I didn't care for much. Guettarda 05:08, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

She self-reverted after she was caught. In fact, there was so much elapsed time that had she added something rather than deleting it, what she'd added would have been ripe for archiving by her standards. That Jayjg undid her self-reversion within minutes also hints that that may have been preplanned too, before she self-reverted. Gene Nygaard 09:53, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
The whole situation seems kind of sad, really. I will add that if Slim is that determined to revert you, I'd think long and hard about what I am changing :). Just another star in the night T | @ | C 10:05, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Unlike the sysop who blocked me, the sysop who blocked SlimVirgin afforded her an opportunity to offer an explanation here before being blocked.

That favoritism is part of the procedural issue here. Gene Nygaard 13:00, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

What? The "E-mail this user" link on your browser is busted? The {{Unblock}} tag doesn't work on your talk page? Man, you'd better ask at the Village Pump, see if anyone can help you with those tehnical issues. --Calton | Talk 13:04, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Now that you mention it, one thing that is broken about the "E-mail this user" feature is that it doesn't provide a copy to the originator, nor any other log that the E-mail were sent, so that even if someone were inclined to deal with rampant speculation such as yours, whether or not the evidence could be produced would be at the whim of the recipient.
Furthermore, SlimVirgin's blocking sysop gave her an opportunity to respond here, on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RR, not just on her own talk page. Gene Nygaard 13:11, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
...rampant speculation' You're right, when you said you were unable to comment, I assumed you were actually serious instead of making stuff up. My mistake. --Calton | Talk 13:14, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Just my two cents: With due regards to all participants, I would like to add that we make a lot of fuss even about obvious matters. She did something which she believed to be in order, and immediately upon realizing the matter, she set the “house’ in order. Bringing the matter here is prima facie fine, but seeing the discussion above I remember these words: “a codified set of rules on an issue, so they can subvert the spirit while adhering to the letter.” (Rule number 18, Section: Laws by others on this page. In my opinion, SV had done nothing wrong to warrant a report here. --Bhadani 10:45, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Comments:

User continues to insert two poorly referenced sections ("Popular terminology" and "Academic terminology") and to relabel another section on Origins as my personal essay on Origins. Other editors have called for the deleted sections to go, e.g.:

If the claim that "Postcolonialists and Neomarxists have argued that the alleged commodity fetishism of Asians arises in a similar manner." can't be cited, the whole section needs to go. Gazpacho 17:50, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

I have tried to explain my edits several times, explaining why the referenced "Origins" section should replace the "Popular terminology" and "Academic terminology" sections, but user refuses to listen, accusing me of promoting a personal agenda. The extreme irony in this situation is that I was the one who wrote 75% of the two unsourced sections, and now I want to replace my own unsourced work with sourced work. The relevant discussion can be found here:

Talk:Asian_fetish#Original_Research_in_this_article

User also has a history of violating WP:OWN, not to mention m:MPOV. More to the point, he continues to believe that, as an Asian American, I am somehow always writing with a POV and that I am intellectually incapable of striving for NPOV, and that he has become the "unofficial mediator" of the article. I have tried to reason and to assume good faith, but he refuses to reason. Personally, I think that that is somewhat racist, but that's my personal opinion.

Compared to simultaneously two heavy edits. If they qualify as reverts someone has to augment the WP:Revert policy... --Kuban Cossack 20:06, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
I self-reverted anyway until there is a consensus, speaking of which: If an architect designs a structure (say a metro station) which includes political slogans and motives in the decoration (say Communist symbols). Then years later under polical reasons someone decides to remove them. Wouldn't that be a conflict with the original design of that sturucture, based on the architects plan?--Kuban Cossack 20:43, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
There is clearly an article development being going on, rather than an edit war. Two editors are old fellas, so to speak, and I say, just let the article's development run its course. Plain revert wars harm the articles by rendering the pages of useless history. This here, is an article development. Discretion is advised. While it may be pleasant to throw a block or a warning here and/or there, the goal of 3RR rule is to stop edit wars that damage articles, not punish someone and not to get a self-esteem boost by having an ability to punish someone. I suggest leaving this as is. I will mediate between these editors, as I've done in the past. --Irpen 20:46, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Should I try to put the material back? or wait until another editor does so? —Hanuman Das 19:43, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My recommendation

I am not taking side. However, I may add that setting up RfC does not mean anything unless the matter gets wider support from other users. While I do not approve of such reverts, as they are against the policies, I would like that sometimes the other side (one or more editors) precipitate the matter in such a way that an editor is laid into the “trap” of doing more reverts than permitted. In my opinion, one should set a self-imposed limit to doing reverts. However, while examining issues of reverts, the pertinent point is the contents, which come forth or vanish after reverting. I would like to illustrate the point with an example. Suppose, a person is blanking a page, and one is reverting it – shall it attract the 3RR?. Further, the issue of contents coming or going on account of the reverts are also important. While I do not approve of such violation, I find that in the present case, instigation for reverts were available to induce this user to revert. Under the circumstances, I recommend that the matter may be closed, and the user User:Hamsacharya dan should be warned to refrain from violating the policies. I am warning him right now. Thanks. --Bhadani 11:06, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Comments: Reversions relate to the inclusion of R:Racing Evolution in the Ridge Racer games section. Reversions have been going back and forth between User:Megaman Zero and anonymous IPs (possibly the same user?). There has been ongoing discussion on the topic at Talk:Ridge Racer. -- Natalya 16:57, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Indeed. My only defense is the fact I supported my revsions with established policy and large amounts of sources. This is becoming a ongoing style lately with the new additions of editors making and subtracting amounts of content without any fact or sourced rebuttals. I've no problem with the block, and wasn't aware I had violated 3RR in this timeframe. In my most recent edit [72], I attempted comprimise with a discerning of subsections. I'm hopeful this will solve things. -ZeroTalk 17:08, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Comments: I'm reporting these 3RR violations per the talk page comments by Admin Jossi (talk • contribs). I asked to protect this page due to revert warring [82]. Jossi stepped in and put up a warning notice to start with. After being warned not to make 3 reverts within 24 hours [83], Hanuman Das has gone ahead and done it anyway. He has also made threatening remarks on my talk page [84] and has never contributed anything constructive to the Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath article in the history of its existence, only criticisms full of weak sources, a trend for which he has been warned by Admin Bhadani (talk • contribs) [85], whose comments Hanuman Das removed, claiming these comments to be incivil when they clearly were stated with utmost of civility [86].

[edit] Egregious misapplication of 3RR by User:Bhadani

This was posted below. I'm moving it here to a more appropriate place. I am not commenting further. Snoutwood (tóg) 16:17, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Please see bogus 3RR complaint against User:Hanuman Das above [87] and his response on his talk page [88] which I quote:

  • "I did not violate the three revert rule. Revert #1 is not in a 24 hour period. #2 is an edit and not a revert. #3 is also an edit and not a revert. # 4 is an edit and not a revert. Only #5 is a revert.m Also, please take a close look at the version he claims I am reverting to. Every single one of the edits lists takes the article away from that version, not back toward it. Hamsacharya dan is attempting to game the system with a false report and Bhadani has not checked the details of the report."

User Hanuman Das appears to be right that the rule was misapplied. Only #5 appears to be a revert. 192.35.232.241 16:04, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

    • I continue to maintain that I took the correct step - sometimes we have to be original to deal with situation where the wiki-spirit is violated while the letter of the rule book is maintained. Hanuman Das appears to be a master of this game - to violate the spirit of wikipedia while maintaining the letter of the rule. Our policies also provide that in exceptional circumstances, exceptional measures may be employed - I am referring to the "rule" that do not follow any rule. And, I was constrained to do the same. --Bhadani 16:35, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I cannot agree with B here. 1 week is completely over the top for a first offence. Further, its not at all clear that this is even 3RR. William M. Connolley 16:37, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm rather confused about what is going on here, but 1 week is far too long; so I am indeed unblocking William M. Connolley 17:26, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
William, please see the following note, copied from Tawker (talk • contribs)'s talk page:
Tawker - can you please clarify your comment that "it doesn't seem to be 3RR at all"? The edits that I've displayed demonstrate reversions to previous versions of the article or sections of text. As I understand these are the types of reversions considered under 3RR, as also defined by WP:REVERT as well as by Jossi (talk • contribs) who includes the qualification of undoing other people's edits repeatedly in the [91]. It could be that I improperly cited the "previous version reverted to". I would like to get a clear understanding of your logic, if possible, so that I identify the misunderstanding.
1st reversion: clearly a revert to much previous version somewhere in the vicinity of this month old diff 31 March 2006
2nd reversion: undid part of an edit in which a quote was also added a month ago 3 April 2006
3rd reversion: DITTO - this section had been around since almost the beginning of the article 15 March 2006, and in it's mature form here: 19 April 2006
4th reversion: Undid another section that had been in there since almost the beginning of the article: 15 March 2006
5th reversion: SELECTIVELY reverted to his old version, deleting valid, sourced, verifiable, reliable cited text that directly contradicted his weak inclusions 2 May 2006
What you might not immediately see is that Hanuman Das has added almost nothing of value to this article, and on the contrary, since the BEGINNING (see the history for yourself) has vandalized it with his corrosive edits or deletions. His monumental accomplishment was the "conflicting views" section, which carries no academic weight - but it takes someone with experience to see that. Which begs the question why? Well, you might notice that his interest in this article directly corresponded to my interest in the Nath article. He started attacking this article to divert me from adding information to the Nath article - which he has guarded closely like a bulldog for the longest time. You will see that his interest in Yogiraj Gurunath started at about the same time as my interest in the Nath article started [92]. Hamsacharya dan 20:53, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
What Hamsacharya dan neglects to mention is that the conflicting views section was a collaborative effort created by four editors, myself, Chai Walla, Priyanath, and Baba Louis, and that he himself has repeatedly removed it so many times that the other editors have mostly given up and gone away. He also does not mention that he himself called for mediation, and went through two mediators, both of whom approved the section he refers to as both neutral and adequately cited. I myself did not edit the article for at least a month while Baba Louis attempted to discuss with Hamsadan without any better result. He also does not mention that all his repeated removals of our work has been documented in an RfC opened against him, [93], which all four of the authors of the section have signed. —Hanuman Das 21:18, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Anonymous editor

Three revert rule violation on User talk:Anonymous editor (edit|talk|history|links|logs). Anonymous_editor (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log):

Reported by: Timothy Usher 06:59, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Comments: Anonymous editor has been altering and deleting comments on his talk page, those of other editors along with his own, such as to manipulate and obscure the history of the discussion. He has also engaged in this behavior on User talk:Aminz. I recognize that user talk pages are typically exempted from the purview of this policy, but if discussions assailing other editors are to take place therein, it becomes less an issue of personal space than it normally would be.Timothy Usher 07:27, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Comments

My regards to Timothy Usher and I do generally agree with you. However, my understanding of the issue is that the point raised by you does not require invocation of 3RR. References are always available from the links to the deleted contents. Moreover, he has placed a notice at the top of his page that he shall remove the contents which are useless - though in my opinion 'useless' is a relative term. In my ultimate analysis, he has a right to maintain his talk page in any way he wishes to maintain unless it negatively impacts the main objective of the Project, that is, building the best global encyclopedia. And, I do not find that his action as mentioned above adversely affects the Project in anyway. Moreover, there are perhaps 100s of users who do not archive the contents of the talk page and continue to delete on an on-going basis. Accordingly, 3RR can not be invoked in this particular case. Thanks. --Bhadani 09:01, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

This isn't a 3RR matter. You are essentially immune for 3RR on your own talk page, except in exceptional circumstances. If AE is truely altering the sense of peoples comments, thats vandalism, and should be reported as such. But I've looked, and the ones you mention aren't like this at all. Repeatedly re-adding unwelcome content to peoples talk page is harassement - don't do it William M. Connolley 12:36, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
I agree with you. But, did you mean me? I think your comments were general comments applicable to all editors. --Bhadani 14:02, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
No, I meant TU William M. Connolley 15:26, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
It is ok. --Bhadani 16:37, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks William and Bhadani. Timothy's being doing this a lot and the reason I remove Joturner's comment is because it's a repeat of his talk page where the discussion was taking place. Timothy however has violated a real 3rr on an article which was just unprotected and his arbitrary moves are equivalent to vandalism. --a.n.o.n.y.m t 19:36, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
Although Anonymous editor has stated in several places that I violated 3RR, and although I was blocked for it, it is incorrect, as discussed on my User talk page. Moreover, Anonymous editor has engaged in the same behavior there as I'd complained about above, substantially altering the sense of his comments after I'd responded thereto.Timothy Usher 23:02, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
Nearly two days later, notwithstanding the inquiries of five editors, neither Anonymous editor not the admin who blocked me at his behest, Sean Black, has provided diffs to support AE's very specific ("...he fully reverted to your his version for the fourth time in 24 hours [emphasis mine]") claim of 3RR violation 19:36, 2 May 2006, 19:47, 2 May 2006, 12:13, 3 May 2006, 12:19, 3 May 2006, most likely because they don't exist. I ask that he, and Sean Black, either provide diffs or publically withdraw this false charge.Timothy Usher 11:27, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anonymous editor, part 2

I did not support a block in the case of Anonymous editor reverting his own talk page. However, this business seems to have led to what I perceive as an injustice. Anonymous editors posted here that Timothy had carried out a real 3RR violation, and Timothy was blocked four minutes later, presumably as a result of that claim. Timothy has asked repeatedly for diffs, but they have not been supplied.

I think that every editor accused of 3RR violation, and blocked as a result does have the right to have the diffs supplied if he contests his block. I have seen comments on various talk pages, indicating that Timothy was not particularly upset about being unable to edit for 24 hours, but was upset that this alleged violation is now in his records. I have therefore taken the time to look at the history of the Isa article. I found no 3RR violation from Timothy, but did find one from Anonymous editor, which was made after Timothy's last revert, but before Timothy's block.

Correction. I realize now that Anonymous editor's last revert took place on a different date, and I apologize for the error. I stand by the rest of what I wrote.AnnH ♫ 06:43, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

I am not looking for any sanctions against any editors or administrators, but as I think an injustice has been done, I would appeal to some administrators to go to the section I started at Timothy's talk page and comment on the situation. Note that when I say "injustice", I do realize that an editor can be blocked for disruption even when he does not go beyond three reverts, but I feel that in such a case, when that edit war is between two individuals and when the blocked editor's opponent is reverting to an equal extent and is not blocked, there is a certain unfairness.

Before we move on, I think Timothy Usher is entitled to receive an acknowledgment that the five claims that he violated 3RR were inaccurate. AnnH ♫ 14:19, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment Strange. If you knew it was there, why didn't you just add the citation in, as I had requested with the [citation needed] tag? As to whether or not removing your vandalism counts as a 'revert', I'll leave that to the discretion of others. --TheMadTim 14:56, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
Comment because the information was clearly sourced in the external links. You knew this but decided to vandalise the page because of your agenda.

Three revert rule violation on Encyclopedia (edit|talk|history|links|logs) and Paul Skalić (edit|talk|history|links|logs):

Previous version reverted to: 13:46, 3 May 2006

Reported by: E Pluribus Anthony | talk | 18:50, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Comments:

  • Though this anonymous user – one and the same, methinks – has made some compelling arguments, continues to include notations that Mr. Skalić is (just) Croatian, remove cited information in articles to the contrary, and leaving nasty-grams (with name calling) on various user pages that disagree with said viewpoint and insinuations of content. The anon has been warned on various talk pages and edit summaries, but persists in counterproductive behaviour ...
  • Given this ongoing disruptive behaviour, incompatible with Wp norms, perpetual blocks of the IPs noted should be considered. E Pluribus Anthony | talk | 18:50, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Concur with statements above. In addition, anon user is leaving uncivil angry messages on talk pages. Person needs to cool out for a couple days. --Stbalbach 19:04, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
  • This user is apparently disruptive enough, but the IPs he's using are non-fixed ADSL IPs that can be switched by just disconnecting and connecting again. Blocking these for any long period of time would likely be no obstacle for this user, but would harm those "inheriting" these IPs after the user disconnects. So please be cautious. Thanks. --Elephantus 20:19, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Noted; I think we have been cautious and tolerant, though. So, what remedy is there? I too have a dial-up connxn, and the above is almost a blank cheque to engage in or tolerate retaliatory editing from anonymous IPs ... a condition that would not be as problematic if said user did so using a bona fide alias (as has been suggested) or would be more problematic for registered users (like me and compatriots) when rectifying anon edits and possibly violating 3RR in the process.
    • In the very least, the anon IPs should be blocked temporarily and or the articles be protected from editing by new/anon users. Please advise; thanks. E Pluribus Anthony | talk | 20:34, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
  • I have no problem with blocks if necessary, just that blocking these IP's for anything longer than 6 hrs might be unproductive. Protecting the article(s) in question from IP editing might be better. --Elephantus 20:43, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Great; if I may be so bold, please do both and – in the very least – the latter (protect both articles from IP editing). Let me know if you've any questions. Thanks! E Pluribus Anthony | talk | 20:46, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Reported by: Aldux 13:22, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Comments:This editor has already been blocked for violating the 3RR on April 25. But more impressive still is his utter incivilty, that has brought him being blocked twice recently. And his manners don't appear to have improved recently: today he said to an editor "And now I ask you hypocrit, what does "vlach Language mean", you troll" [109]. His Talk page is better still: among many insults he says on April 29 to Telex Your kind of people are the mold, the clay for traitors, killers in the name of self-wellfare, sellers of honour., and immediately before he tells him: God... how can you live with yourself? honestly? can you at least answer this question? please... I`m serious: Do you ever think that you might be a hypocrite? Honestly, do you? Please answer, and yet before he tells him I`ve just realised. You are such an incredible hypocrite. I saw your edits.... You`re a greek ultra-nationalist... I see you edits the Human rights in Turkey... such hypocricy... How about the minority rights in Greece for start? huhh hypocrite? Incredible... Few people like you exit in this world, and in a normal enviroment (apparantelly unlike Wikipedia) they should be completely punished for their lack of character... [110]. When Greier is invited to stop he adopts a simple solution; he simply removes everything from the talk page.--Aldux 13:22, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Reported by: Jnk 19:03, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Comments: Dispute began over tier two vs. tier one status. Cogent claims it is a tier one carrier but according to the Wikipedia article on tier one carrier's they do not meet the requirements (because they buy transit from Verio). This user continually replaces the article with the standard company description that Cogent puts in their press releases about themselves, and remove any content (including a reference to a Gartner report) that says anything negative about Cogent. This IP is also in Cogent's IP space. This user has also failed to participate in the discussion on the talk page. —Jnk 19:24, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Not obviously all reverts William M. Connolley 20:26, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your comment on their talk page. I still feel that each of these changes was actually a revert back to a version of the article that didn't include the depeering information. I just noticed this article yesterday, but this user refuses to participate in the discussion on the talk page and has been repeatedly cleansing the article of all negative content about Cogent since January.
Even if you ignore the first revert, they've still exceeded the 3RR:
  • The user removes information about purchasing transit from Verio [111]
  • Information about buying transit from Verio was added back [112] and then the user removed it again, and replaced the page with Cogent's stock press release "about cogent" statement [113]
  • Article was restored, user then replaced it with the stock press release statement again [114]
  • Article was restored, user then replaced it with the stock press release statement yet again [115]
Each time they reverted to a version that did not include a description of the depeering or the 2005 Gartner report reference to "no-frills." —Jnk 21:08, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
OK, I agree. Also pasting in the Cogent press release is a copyvio; repeats of that are vandalism. 24h William M. Connolley 21:21, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

I haven't violated the 3RR, as can be clearly seen. More important, this block has been proposed by an anon. editor, [[116]], that clearly states at the article Vlachs of Serbia [117] that he is User:Greier, subject at the moment to a 48h block. If I'm not wrong, this is a clear example of block evasion, made simply to take revenge of having signalled the 3RR violation on Vlachs of Serbia that has got him now blocked.--Aldux 12:24, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
If you can read, and have at least two neurons, you can cleary see that indeed in is a 3RR. About Greier...

Ok, I'd like to point out that had I reported his violation of 3RR, he might have been blocked and I wouldn't be in this situation. As it stands, I did not, and he has been allowed to walk free while I am treated equally, despite the fact that I've made over 150 useful edits to Wikipedia and I've never engaged in pov-pushing.

This is ridiculous. I've been patient while waiting for someone to review this and come to a fair conclusion, but all I've seen are people who just see the allegations that someone brought against me and are reposting old templates that have nothing to do with this situation. What's the point in forming an opinion about this situation if you have no idea what has been going on and you don't really care? Don't form opinions and then just leave when you run out of templates to throw at me. Anyway, we've already resolved the dispute, so please remove the tags from my talk page.

Not true, Kamikaze Highlander. I hate to contribute to this lame discussion, but you violated 3RR before Ase500 did. I reported both of you, and I reported you first. That's why yours appears before his. If you really want to contribute to the article, then consider other ways besides trying to make yourself feel superior. Thanks. Tuxide 00:41, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
I don't appreciate being treated as if what I did was wrong. His statement had no place in Wikipedia. Similar snip comments have been added to the article several times, and have always been reverted as vandalism. If he wanted his comment to remain, he should have discussed it in the talk page, since I and others have already come to consensus on this sort of thing many times before. 3RR was not designed so that this sort of thing would just remain if it survived three reverts. I don't appreciate that you insist on labelling this a "content dispute" or "edit war" because that implies that his comment was in any way a legitimate edit, which it was not. It was written to hurt the quality of the article. Kamikaze Highlander 00:49, 7 May 2006 (UTC)


I would like to add that while my editing may have been preemptive, however I had planned to post links to my factual sources, and I was editing out false facts that are known to be frauds, inside documents, which do not bare any of the marks of a walmart corp document, nor bares the file attibs that a corp PDF would, this document was produced with an Unregisterd copy of Word then spooled into PDF format, also it is worth noting that Walmart does not use PDF for communications to its stores or assocates, they send E-Mails from with in The Smart System, the smart system is Walmarts "god" software, it runs everything from POS ordering and registers, to Assocate Time Requests and adjustments. The only place PDFs are used are on The Wire, which is a Job and howto center, Things like is a job open in TLE or How do I prep Chickens, as well as benefit info. The other place PDFs are used by walmart is outside of the company on The My Benefits Site. Niether the Wire or My Benefits would be used to distribute such documents. They would have been e-mailed from with in the Smart program. Now as for the quebec store closeing every month walmart turns out walmart world its corp news letter and human intrest mag, in the back few pages, are a list of store opening and closings, as well as people who have hit differnt years with walmart, the store closer was listed in Walmart world, 2 months prior to the union vote. Also a french canadian news service had also run the story about the union vote and why the workers there had voted union, they have since taken the story off their site, I am trying to get a copy of the news clipping myself, and when I get both I will find away to post them as proof. while I was doing editing, not just of that section, I was also looking for the page with the proof on it, however I was running long and fear a copy conflict, so I saved the page. With in Seconds, Kamikaze had reverted my edits, not even enuf time had passed for me finsh looking for my sources, that I was going to post in a few mins, and so started the edit war. by the end I was so sick of dealing with wiki anything that I was ready to just leave. Now it appears pointless to even deal with the edits and attempt to work anyway with the current entry because of the new draft. It just seems funny to me, that I am an hourly assocate with walmart, one of the very people that they treat so badly, and when we come foward to help edit this entry and give some information and remove some misinformation, we are basicly told to sit down, and shut up, because we are not negitive enough about walmart. And I am not the only one that has said that, I have talked to several walmart assocates that have tried to help with this entry and have been treated with the same resistance and disrespect. I only hope that moving forward that this draft can become a fair view of walmart as rather then a critic sounding board, We owe the people that come here to do research that.

Comments:

  • I'm fully aware that I'm an admin and capable of doing blocks myself, but Yamla is as well, so I want another opinion. These are all rollback reverts. Yamla appears to feel (see User talk:69.76.194.176) that the edits of 69.76.194.176 were vandalism by adding uncited edits to the article, but this is not simple vandalism and is probably not 3RR-exempt. Stifle (talk) 23:19, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
It is my contention that I was reverting vandalism and my edits were therefore exempt from the 3RR. The information introduced was either a low-quality link (the first revert) or deliberately inflamatory and uncited (the other four reverts). Please note that I asked the user to cite the statements he or she added and would have been happy with any explanation as to why he or she was adding these statements and removing well-cited information from the article. Clearly the information added and removed was not "simple" vandalism but I believe it was vandalism nonetheless. That said, I will not take offence if I am blocked under the 3RR. It could well be that I overstepped my boundries. --Yamla 23:36, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Comments:

  • The stated user has previous 3RR violation and should be aware of the 3RR rule. Hunter 03:51, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Previous 3RR is an understatement, he's under arbcom sanction for being disruptive. He should be page banned for disruptive revert warring (the exact same issues he's been banned from other articles for!) but this isn't 3RR on THIS article - the last edits are reverts of me changing parentheses to a comma, the first reverts are reverts of Winhunter changing the flag image. SchmuckyTheCat 04:32, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Probationary page bans issued at Template:Hong Kong (PRC) for edit warring over a trivial matter: Instantnood is banned for two weeks, SchmuckyTheCat is banned for one week. --Jiang 06:43, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Why two reverts per each of the issues qualifies page ban? For the first and second reverts, user:Winhunter is clearly ignoring the differences between the two flags, and she/he is not talking. For the third and fourth edits, the same trouble has already happened with many other lists and articles. User:SchmuckyTheCat should know he should have proposed it before modifying the template with his point of view, but he only went to the the talk page after he implemented his point of view. — Instantnood 08:22, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
      • Not every edit to an article requires a "proposal". In fact, in the spirit of being bold, the vast majority of edits do not. As long as the parties are discussing, I see no reason to have an edit war going on. It is preferable wait until the discussion has reached some sort of consensus before trying to implement a change either way because edit warring is disruptive. Wikipedia is not going to self destruct just becuase a parenthesis was replaced with a comma. My understanding of the 3RR is that any revert, in part or in whole, constitutes a revert towards the 3RR limit. However, it is my hope that we can avert a block here because a specific page ban achieves the same "cooling down" effect the 3RR is meant to achieve.--Jiang 08:34, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
        • User:SchmuckyTheCat's similar edits to many other articles, lists, etc., to replace "Hong Kong" and "Hong Kong (People's Republic of China)" with "Hong Kong, People's Republic of China" or "Hong Kong, China" have been debated. WP:BOLD obviously doesn't apply here. By doing so he's effectively spreading an unresolved debate to affect more Wikipedia entries. As discussion is already in process, he should have restored the template to its status quo before his edits; or else I see no basis nor sincerity to discuss. — Instantnood 09:06, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
          • As I have stated on your talk page, if this is a dispute spread over several articles, then the way to arrive at a solution would be to discuss it at a centralized place, such as WP:MoS-China. Either the discussion can arrive at a consensus on how the current rules favor one form over the another, or a proposal can be made to the guidelines. If this is an unresolved debate, then the solution is not to edit war over several articles: it is to discuss and refrain from reverting until a consensus is achieved. Claiming "no basis nor sincerity to discuss" is an assumption of bad faith. Going around and banging things with a big stick, especially when you're on probation, isn't really going to help your case, even if you happen to be right on a particular issue.--Jiang 10:40, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
            • Should what the lists, articles, templates were like before the edits be restored? — Instantnood 12:37, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
              • If not you're giving the benefit of the ban to one of the two parties. — Instantnood 20:36, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
              • Your question is irrelevant. The goal is to arrive at a mutually supported version through discussion and consensus. Quibbling about who is right - whose has a better right to revert - does nothing to promote this consensus. Wikipedia is a not a court of law. If you think you are right, then try persuading the others to agree with you. --Jiang 00:49, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
  • The third and the fourth ones ([124] [125]) are not dealing with the same thing as the first and second ones ([126] [127]). — Instantnood 08:22, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Let me point out the reverting definition as stated in WP:3RR - "Reverting, in this context, means undoing the actions of another editor or other editors in whole or part". Also, further to your earlier comments, on top of this page, "this is not the page to bring up accusations of bad faith, or POV pushing", please do not push your POV about the flags or some editing view here. --Hunter 08:29, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
    • In the third and the fourth ones user:Winhunter have listed, user:Winhunter's edits to the flag image was preserved. — Instantnood 09:00, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Since Jiang has banned In from the article for 2 weeks, this one is solved. Also it didn't quite look like 4R to me William M. Connolley 08:50, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

I warned the anon editor yesterday on the talk page of the IP he was using then User_talk:71.99.105.130 - to which he replied several times. I tried to file a 3RR here, but computer crashes meant I couldn't complete it. This is one of the slightly grey areas where Zanatic's actions could be seen as simple vandalism reversion - the disputed text is the result of a lot of talk-page discussion and is otherwise universally supported; the anon editor has not engaged in any serious discussion of his edit, despite explicitly being asked to. Zanatic would have been better to call in the cavalry, but in his defence he filed for a page-protection which was deleted without comment- if an administrator had intervened then, the edit war today might have been prevented. I'd still ask for his block to be reconsidered. Thanks, Aquilina 15:00, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

I've tried to start a dialogue at Talk:Lieutenant Governor (Canada) but he's not even willing to talk about it. Ardenn 18:00, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
The above report is a mass of terminological inexactitudes. First, I haven't violated 3RR and do not intend to: the above deals with three unique articles/redirects – Lieutenant governor, Lieutenant Governor (Canada) (recently created by A.), and Lieutenant-Governor (Canada) (created as redirect by A.). The recently created article (L G (C)) was parsed from the main article (L g) by A. without discussion; while I do not besmirch that, it was moved haphazardly and into a subarticle without consideration of the hyphenated rendition indicated (L-G (C)) in the accompanying usage note (esp. in French) and consistent with other Wp articles about Cdn. L-Gs. This information wasn't even migrated in A.'s moves. Next, my corrections (move and note restorations) were labelled by A. as vandalism (rvv), clearly in error and arguably an incivil personal attack.
Throughout, I've provided rationale for my actions (as above), while A. defers to being bold amid accusations. I'm all for discussion regarding this or that, but I will not do so with this user amid insinuations of impropriety and hereby request some sort of sanction on A. Thanks. E Pluribus Anthony | talk | 17:54, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
I moved the article under WP:BOLD. I wasn't aware there would be any issue over a stupid hyphen. When disagreement arose, I left a message and an olive branch to discuss it, which he refused. There is now some discussion going on without him. I labelled it rvv because he refused to discuss his edits and kept reverting back. I was not trying to attack him personally. Ardenn 18:24, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
I've started an RFC to get a wider consensus. Ardenn 18:29, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
You thought wrong: if you actually paid attention to the article content throughout – evidenced by your omission of the usage note about the 'stupid' hyphen – you would've realised that. I merely brought the article in-line with other Wp articles about the topic and corrected for your oversights regarding its summation (in the main article, which wasn't done previously) and the restoring/reformatting of information lost in your move. You then reverted, despite my edit summaries, and labelled my actions as rvv. Your initial message and subsequent one (about 3RR) were definitely not olive branches, counterproductive, and you remain rather non-descript. Please familiarise yourself with notions of Wp vandalism, which I clearly did not do. If anyone has escalated this situation, you need only look in the mirror and self-reflect on your lack of Wikipedia:Wikiquette. E Pluribus Anthony | talk | 18:37, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Also of note is that another 3RR was filed against Gnetwerker on April 30. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Warrens (talk • contribs) .

  • The edits listed above are to different texts, which was edited in the interim by the complainer and others, they are also outside of a 24-hour period (they cover almost 48 hours), and finally the so-called "6th revert" is alleged to take place before the 5th. In reality, there was no case where 3RR on the same text was violated -- this may have been an edit war (of which the complainer is an instigator), but it is not a 3RR violation. If it is a violation, then the complainer has also violated.
Here are Warrens's four reverts:
Finally, the complainer has alleged "another 3RR on April 30", but omits that this was also an unwarranted, false accusation and was not ultimately judged to be a violation. As in this case, the complainer was also guilty of edit warring. -- Gnetwerker 06:19, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

  • A note was left on the article's talk page after this and another dispute had (independently) come close to the rule. Though the 4th revert is clearly 20 minustes outside the 24h period, the policy does state 'a fourth revert in 24 hours or very close to it.' I added the 5th, even though it falls outside this rule, just to show that this is ongoing. --Robdurbar 08:54, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Corrected the list to add (diffs). The user used the move-technique to conceal his same POV edits in the article in the middle of the process. The last four reverts are all within a timeframe of around 4 hours.  NikoSilver  (T) @ (C) 12:01, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
