- AntanO, 나는 이 보고서가 WP에 있어야 한다고 생각한다.여기보다는 AN3이지만, 대충 살펴본 결과 카빈 무달리어의 편집 접근방식이 우려되는 것처럼 보인다. 편집방법이 많이 바뀌었고, 대화 페이지 참여 방식도 별로 없다.GirthSummit (blether) 18:16, 2020년 1월 2일 (UTC)[

언급된 사용자는 2020년 월드랠리챔피언십#엔트리스의 전망을 자신의 취향으로 계속 바꾸고 있다.이것은 적어도 한 달 동안 계속된다.우리는 이전 시즌 기사마다 시스템을 갖추고 있다.무엇보다 아무도 그를 지지하지 않는 토론(모든 참가자들은 이 새로운 형식에 반대했다)을 벌였지만, Mclarenfan17은 여전히 자신이 선호하는 버전을 유지하기 위해 편집 작업을 하고 있다.내가 이 보고서를 만드는 이유는 이런 편집에 대한 선의가 보이지 않기 때문이다.편집의 예(3RR이 깨지지 않을 정도로만): [3] [4] [5] + 3 마지막 24시간 동안 [6] [7] [8]그렇다면 합의는 존중해야 할 것인가, 말아야 할 것인가?Pelmeen10 (대화) 23:17, 2019년 12월 26일 (UTC)[
- 설명:나는 공감대가 형성되었다는 것을 부정하지 않는다.그러나 그 합의가 성립된 이후 새로운 세부 사항이 밝혀지고 그 합의의 이행은 기사의 출처와 모순된다.나는 가능한 한 이것을 단순하게 유지하도록 노력할 것이다.
- 합의문 작성 당시 현대와 도요타는 드라이버 라인업을 다음과 같이 발표했다.
- 현대차는 2개의 풀타임 엔트리(타낙/자르보자와 뉴빌/길소울)와 두 크루(소르도/델 바리오와 롭/엘레나)가 공유했다.
- 도요타는 정규 출품작 3종(오기에르/인그라시아, 에반스/마틴, 로반페라/헐투넨)을 보유하고 있었다.
- 그러나, 그 합의가 성립된 후, 도요타는 계속하여, 1년 동안 2대의 추가 차종을 입력하겠다고 발표했는데, 하나는 자리-마티 라트발라, 1대는 다카모토 카츠타다.이는 이 출처(현재 출처 #20)가 기사에서 뒷받침한다.결정적으로, 이 기사는 도요타가 그들의 팀을 어떻게 구성할 것인지 결정하지 않았다는 것을 분명히 한다.
[자리 마티] 라트발라가 5라운드 계약을 성사시킨다면 도요타에 'B팀'을 만들겠다는 열의가 재점화될 수 있다.라트발라는 잠재적으로 도요타의 수호자인 다카모토 카츠타와 함께 달릴 수 있으며, 그는 8번의 유럽 WRC 라운드와 랠리 재팬을 모두 시작할 것이다.도요타 소식통들은 2020년 2군단이 검토 중이라고 확인했다.원래의 생각은 [칼레] 로반페라와 카츠타가 두 젊은이가 스포트라이트를 받지 않고 배울 수 있도록 두 번째 팀을 위해 운전하는 것이었다.두 번째 점수로 점수를 매기는 제조업체 팀을 등록하고 운영하면 도요타가 3년 만에 두 번째 점수를 따겠다는 야망에 유리할 수 있다.라트발라는 그가 [팀 감독 토미] 마키넨과 도요타를 도울 준비가 되어 있다고 말했다.
"내가 말했듯이 내년에는 운전을 하고 싶어.라트발라 감독은 "2군에서 [가쓰타]에 합류해 점수를 좀 따려고 하는 게 말이 될 수도 있을 것"이라고 말했다.
- 그리고 이것이 그 문제의 근원이다.기사에서 합의된 내용은 참가자를 그룹화하여 예년에 사용된 테이블 스타일에 맞추어 참가 테이블을 정리하는 것이다.이 스타일은 두 개의 표를 사용한다. 하나는 제조자 점수를 매길 수 있는 항목이고 다른 하나는 그렇지 않은 항목이다.2020년 엔트리를 팀을 중심으로 구성함으로써, 이 기사는 팀 구조가 설정되었다는 것을 암시하는데, 이것은 출처와 모순된다.나는 이것을 요약 편집이나 기사 토크 페이지에서 지적하려고 노력했지만, 펠미엔10으로부터 받은 유일한 답변은 내가 그것이 싫어서 의도적으로 의견 일치를 거스르고 있다는 주장이었다.더군다나 내가 왜 다른 포맷이 필요한지에 대한 설명을 올린 후, 그는 이렇게 대답했다.
- 나는 테이블 형식이 출처와 모순되는 것을 내포하고 있다는 점을 지적하려고 노력해왔고 그는 대신 "알려지지 않은 자동차 번호"에 대해 이야기하는데, 이것은 그가 기사의 출처나 b) 출처를 읽지 않았다고 믿게 하고 대신 나의 변화를 기사에 되돌리기 위해 서두르고 있다.ous는 테이블 형식에 반대한다.
- 펠메인10은 합의는 존중해야 할 것인가, 말아야 할 것인가라는 질문을 던지며 자신의 자리를 열었다.나는 그것에 대답하고 싶다: 그렇다, 합의는 존중되어야 할 것이다. 하지만 동시에 합의는 편집자들에게 신뢰할 수 있고 검증 가능한 출처를 무시하거나 무시하거나 잘못 전달하는 면허를 주지 않는다.Mclarenfan17 (대화) 00:03, 2019년 12월 27일 (UTC)[
- 편집: 이후 펠미엔10이 "공고되지 않은 자동차 번호"를 언급할 때, 그는 WT에서 다음과 같은 논의를 언급하고 있음을 알게 되었다.그와 다른 편집자가 특정한 주장을 한 MOTOR는 (규정의 제목이 "계절 번호"를 참조하기 때문에, 운전자는 매년 자신의 번호에 대해 재신청해야 하며, 따라서 2020년 기사의 모든 번호는 비협조적 번호라는 것) 그러나, 그들을 요청했을 때 이를 뒷받침할 어떤 출처도 제공하지 않았다.이 ANI 보고서를 게시한 이후 펠미엔10은 (그 논의를 언급하면서) 컨센서스를 집행하는 것을 정당화하기 위한 주장을 반복해 왔다.나의 반응은 그의 이론을 논박하는 여러 출처를 제공하는 것이었다.만약 그가 그 합의가 WT에서의 논의에 기초했다고 주장하려고 한다면:모터스, 그렇다면 나는 그것이 독창적인 연구에 바탕을 두고 있었기 때문에(제목만 '계절 숫자'를 가리키고, 그의 주장을 뒷받침할 만한 실제 규정에는 아무것도 없기 때문에, 그리고 그가 여러 번 요청을 받았음에도 불구하고 신뢰할 수 있고 검증 가능한 출처를 제공하기를 거부했기 때문에 처음부터 합의는 없었다고 주장할 것이다.그와 의견이 다른 사람들에게 부담을 주었다.Mclarenfan17 (대화) 01:54, 2019년 12월 27일 (UTC)[
- 논평 @Cullen328: 나는 ANI가 무엇을 위한 것인지 알고 있으며 콘텐츠 분쟁을 해결하기 위해 그것을 이용하려고 하는 것이 아니다.나는 단지 Pelmeen10이 잘못 전달하고 있다고 느낀다.그는 내가 개인적인 선호 때문에 의도적으로 합의를 무시하고 있다고 주장하지만, 나는 그렇지 않다.나는 단지 a) 이것을 읽는 관리자가 주제에 친숙하다고 가정할 수 없고, b) 기사를 읽을 때 나의 데시시옴이 형식을 되돌리는 이유가 즉각적으로 명백하지 않으며, c) 펠메인10은 기사, 출처, 정책을 철저히 읽지 않는 습관이 있다고 느끼기 때문에 문맥상 세부사항을 제공할 필요성을 느꼈다.나는 어떤 논의 중에 여기에 참고할 만한 것을 넣고 싶었다.
- 그렇지 않으면 어떻게 하라고 제안하시겠습니까?"응, 난 합의를 무시했어"라고 말해?내가 그랬으니까.Pelmeen10의 주장처럼 개인적인 선호에서가 아니라 필요에 의해서.테이블의 형식을 뒤로 바꾸었을 때 적어도 컨센서스와 비슷한 형식을 유지하려고 했지만 그럴 수 없었다.나는 이 메시지를 기사 토크 페이지(11월 29일자)에 올렸고, 펠미엔10이 그것을 번복한 같은 날 직접 (이후 그 메시지를 편집했다)고 썼다.12월 26일 펠메인10에게 내가 왜 변화를 줘야 한다고 느꼈는지 다시 설명해 줄 때까지 토크 페이지에는 거의 활동이 없었다(그리고 이 문제와 직접적인 관련이 있는 것도 아니었다).한 달간 (그리고 좀 더 포괄적인 출처가 확보되면 원래의 합의가 적용될 것이라는 기대와 함께) 나는 WP가 다음과 같이 느꼈다.EDITConsensus가 임시 해결책으로 적용되었다.Mclarenfan17 (대화) 05:36, 2019년 12월 27일 (UTC)[
@Cullen328: 컨센서스가 형성되고 이 ANI가 열리는 사이에 2020년 세계선수권대회에 대한 더 많은 정보가 공개되었다.11월 29일(현재 20일자 기사에서 출처)에 게재된 이 출처가 상황을 변화시켰으며, 만약 그 당시 합의 논의가 가능했다면(기록상으로는 11월 28일까지도 합의가 논의되고 있었다) 합의 논의에 영향을 미쳤을 것이라는 생각이 들었다.
WP에서의 합의:WRC는 한 팀을 위해 경쟁하는 모든 승무원이 함께 그룹화되도록 엔트리 테이블이 구성되어야 한다는 것이다(예: 2019년 기사).이것은 모든 모터스포츠 관련 기사에 공통적이다.그러나 11월 29일 이전에 이 같은 공감대가 형성되었다.11월 29일, 도요타는 2020 시즌에 두 대의 자동차를 추가 진입시킬 것이라고 발표했다.그 출처의 내용은 그들이 아직 팀의 구조를 결정하지 않았다는 것을 분명히 했다.다섯 대의 자동차로 이루어진 하나의 큰 팀이 될까?아니면 두 팀이 따로?만약 그렇다면, 그 차들은 어떻게 그들 사이에 분리될까?
이를 보고 공감대에 문제가 있을 것이라는 것을 깨달았다.도요타 출품작 5개를 모두 한 팀인 것처럼 묶은 엔트리 테이블이라는 뜻인데, 이는 출처의 말과 모순된다.이 출처 -오토스포트는 매우 신뢰할 수 있기 때문에 모터스포츠 기사 전반에 걸쳐 가장 널리 사용되는 출처 중 하나이다.게다가, 현대는 이미 그들의 팀이 어떻게 구성될 것인지를 발표했는데, 이것은 내가 그 기사가 도요타가 그들이 하지 않았던 그들의 구조를 마무리했다는 것을 암시하기 때문에 나는 그 출처와 더욱 모순된다고 느꼈다는 것을 의미한다.
표에 변화를 주었을 때, 나는 공감대를 존중하는 동시에 29월 출처의 내용도 반영하려고 최선을 다했지만, 도저히 제대로 될 수 없었다.나는 또한 6주 안에 누가 어떤 팀을 위해 경쟁하고 있는지 분명히 밝혀줄 것이기 때문에 문제를 완전히 해결하는 철통같은 소식통이 발표될 것이라는 것도 알고 있었다.의도치 않게 출처(당시에는 구할 수 없었던)와 모순되는 합의와 매우 신뢰할 수 있고 검증 가능한 출처를 지지하는 합의 중 하나를 6주 이내에 출처가 발표되면 그 합의가 적용될 것이라는 기대감으로 그 합의를 간과하는 것 중 하나를 선택해야 한다는 생각이 들었다.여기서 내가 한 모든 일은 선의였다.펠메인10의 주장대로 나는 공감대가 싫어서가 아니라 공감대가 형성된 후 발표된 정보 때문이었다.11월 29일에 발표된 정보가 컨센서스가 형성되었을 때 이용할 수 있었다면, a) 컨센서스가 그대로 형성되지 않았을 경우, 또는 b) 편집자들이 표 형식을 적용하기 전에 도요타 팀의 구조가 발표될 때까지 기다리기로 합의했을 경우의 컨센서스 논의에 반영되었을 것이다.Mclarenfan17 (대화) 06:20, 2019년 12월 27일 (UTC)[

좀 더 일반적으로 말해서, 내가 솔직하다면, 이것은 매우 바보같은 문제인 것 같다.기사에 따라 1월 23일에 챔피언쉽이 시작된다.지금쯤이면 RfC가 문을 닫을 때쯤이면 30일 내내 지속된다면 그 우려는 더 이상 유지되지 않을 것이기 때문에 난장판이 될 것이다.이것은 부정확한 정보를 갖는 것이 괜찮다는 것을 의미하지는 않지만, 여러분 모두가 모든 우려를 해결하기 위해 어떤 종류의 합의에 도달하지 않을 수 있는가?표를 있는 그대로 유지하고 예를 들어 각주를 사용하여 명확히 하는 것을 고려해 보셨습니까?물론 RfC 없이도 할 수 있는 일이 있다.만약 RfC가 이 문제를 향후 몇 년 동안 해결하려고 노력하기를 원한다면, 그것은 또 다른 일이겠지만, 올해 챔피언십이 시작될 때까지 기다리는 것이 더 나을 것이다. 그래서 사람들은 올해에 특정한 세부 사항들에 너무 얽매이지 않기 위해서 말이다.

불가침헐크는 유능한 편집자인 것 같고, 이것을 여기에 가져오면 과잉 살상처럼 느껴지지만, 몇몇 사용자들의 거듭된 서명 수정 탄원에도 불구하고 그들은 거절했다.헐크의 서명은 WP를 위반했다.SIGAPP, 특히 다음과 같은 굵은 첫 행:당신의 서명은 눈을

⟨²⟩의 도입도 명시적인 합의(그러나 그럼에도 불구하고 두 편집자가 토론하고 합의)에 근거한 것이 아니었지만, 3년 이상 그렇게 많은 페이지에서 사용되어 왔다는 사실은 암묵적이면서도 잘 확립된 합의점을 보여준다.나는 헬프토크에서 이 문제에 대한 코멘트를 요청했다.IPA/스웨덴어, 최근 스웨덴 가이드를 편집하거나 논의한 사용자 10명을 핑핑하고, 새로운 ⟨ˇˇ에 찬성하는 사람은 한 명도 나오지 않았으며, 이에 대해 3명이 명시적으로 반대 의사를 밝혔다.
나는 단순히 가이드나 소수의 페이지에만 변경이 이루어진다면 BRD를 적용하고 싶지만, 그것들의 순전한 스케일로 인해 나는 그것들을 되돌리는 것을 꺼려하고 있고 대규모 편집 전쟁을 일으킬 위험을 무릅쓰고 있다.나는 콰미카가미가 먼저 다른 사람들과 상의하지 않고 이러한 변화를 할 수 있도록 허용되었는지, 그리고 그들의 특권, 특히 AWB를 지켜야 하는지 묻고 싶다.나독 (대화) 06:39, 2020년 1월 2일 (UTC)[

Weeb Dingle (talk · concerations)은 나와 다른 사람들이 편집하는 데 문제가 있는 편집자로, 예를 들어, 이 ANI 스레드와 그의 토크 페이지에 내가 올린 글을 보라.나는 토크에서 그의 Nkofa(토크 · 기여)에 대해 알아챘다.폴리아모리.Nkofa의 아주 초기 기고를 살펴봄으로써 나는 편집자가 새로운 것이 아니라는 것을 알았다(예를 들어, 즉시 사용자 페이지를 만드는 것, 이것은 신입들이 하는 드문 일이고 푸른 사용자 페이지를 가지고 즉시 섞이고 싶기 때문에 양말의 매우 특징적이다).여기서 본 것처럼 나는 은코파의 토크 페이지로 가서 그의 이전 계정에 대해 물어보았다.그는 나의 질의를 무시하고 편집을 계속했다.나는 그의 최근 편집본을 보고, 내가 토크에서 그를 보았을 때 그를 윔 딩글이라고 알아보았다.기타 신시사이저.그와 같은 주제는 빕 딩글의 관심사 중 하나이다.폴리아모리에서 두 가지 계정을 모두 보고 그런 주제에 관심을 갖는 것은 너무 우연의 일치라는 생각이 들었다.그리고 나서 나는 Nkofa의 편집 요약들을 살펴보았다. "비시퀀텀," "축소된 최상급 ; 갱신된 시제," 그리고 "일반적으로 중화된 톤"과 같은 것들. 그리고 그것들이 Weeb Dingle이 사용하는 편집 요약인 것을 보았다.그 모든 것을 보고 난 후, 나는 은코파가 빕 딩글이라는 것에 대해 의심하지 않았다.Nkofa의 토크 페이지에서도 볼 수 있듯이, 나는 그에게 Weeb Dingle처럼 솔직하게 말할 기회를 주었다.그는 그러지 못 했다.체커유저인 Berean Hunter는 나중에 그들이 같은 사람이라는 것을 확인했다.
(Nkofa talk page에서 언급했듯이) 이것을 가지고 나의 이슈는 다음과 같다.위브 딩글은 Nkofa 사용자 페이지에 "아직 내가 무엇을 하고 있는지 확실하지 않아 사람들이 인내심을 갖고 기다려줬으면 좋겠다. [...] 이곳은 첫날이고 아직 날짜를 한 번 클릭으로 삽입할 수 있는 방법을 찾지 못했기 때문에 2019년 12월 22일이라고만 말해두겠다"고 자신을 새로운 사람으로 표현하고 있다.WP:Clean start가 말하는 것과 달리, 그는 같은 영역에서 편집을 계속했다.그가 새로운 사람이 아니고 다른 사람들은 그가 윔 딩글일 때 같은 영역을 편집하는 새로운 편집자라고 믿을 것이기 때문에 기만적이다.난 그냥 그가 누군지 모르는 척하는 거야?나는 특히 그의 편집과 관련된 나의 문제들을 고려할 때 원하지 않았다.정밀 조사를 피하기 위해 은코파로 바꾼 것 같아그리고 WP:정밀조사는 분명하다.편집자가 이름을 바꾸고 싶으면 이름을 바꿀 수 있다.그러나 그는 새로 온 척했다.그렇다면 이 경우 어떻게 해야 하는가?플라이어22 재탄생 (토크) 08:30, 2020년 1월 4일 (UTC)[

사용자:Flyer22 재탄생
먼저 고백.몇 달 전까지만 해도 윔 딩글 역으로 편집하고 있었어.추수감사절 즈음에 내 노트북이 고장 났어.몇 달 동안 "로그인" 쿠키에 의존해 온 W'pedia 로그온을 제외하고 거의 모든 것을 복구하고 모든 온라인 계정과 다시 연결할 수 있었다.그리고 내가 바보인 것처럼, 비밀번호는 "오 이건 너무 영리해서 절대 잊을 수 없을 거야"라는 머리말들 중 하나이다.나는 이것에 대해 도움을 요청할 공식적인 방법을 찾을 수 없었고, 끝없는 도움말 페이지를 뒤져 몇 시간을 보냈고, 그런 점에서 나는 호스로 인해 고통받고 있다고 결론지었다.다른 사람들에 의해 알려진, 혹은 내가 손으로 쓴 쪽지를 넘어가지 않는 한, Weeb Dingle 계정은 기능적으로 죽는다. 비록 기회가 주어진다면 기꺼이 다시 그것을 받아들이겠지만 말이다.나는 어쩌면 우주가 당신에게 어떤 사건을 말해주고 있는 것인지도 모른다고 생각했고, Nkofa로 새롭게 시작하기로 선택했고, 기사를 편집하고 곤경에 빠지지 않았다, 특히 한 특정한 사용자와의 만남을 피했다.내 의도는 전혀 악의적인 것이 아니었고, 결코 "여러 계정을 운영한다"는 입장을 악용한 것이 아니었다.누군가가 이것에 대해 공식적인 불만을 제기하는 것을 선택할 때, 나는 기꺼이 나아갈 것이다.
그러나 나는 양말 사냥꾼에 의해 추적당했다.플라이어22 재탄생.그것은 많은 이슈들을 열어주고, 그것은 설명을 필요로 할 것이다.뒤에 오는 것은 거의 전적으로 나의 불완전한 기억력에 달려 있다. 나는 어느 순간도 나의 불만을 일기로 기록하지 않았다.
내가 옳다고 믿는 것을 기꺼이 옹호하지만, 내 입장을 전적으로 확신하고 있는 상황에서도, 기껏해야 모빙(집단 괴롭힘)이 혐오스럽다고 생각하기 때문에, 나는 살면서 어떤 권위에 지지를 호소하는 데 편안했던 적이 없다.(같은 방식으로, 나는 내가 했어야 했던 것처럼, 한 그룹 앞에 기사 편집에 대한 이견을 가져오는 것을 피했다.)여러 달 동안 그럴듯한 명분이 있었음에도 불구하고, 나는 여기에 글을 올리는 것조차 싫었지만, 지금은 그것에 만족하고 있다.
10년 전까지만 해도 전문 에디터였다.위키백과 편집자로 등록한 직후, 나는 어떤 기사(아마도 로맨스(사랑))를 30분 동안 작업했는데, 그것은 역시 편집자가 강요한 어떤 근처 인용문에서도 뒷받침되지 않는 추측으로 나를 놀라게 하는 이상하게도 어색한 구절이었다.나는 언어를 고치고 두어 개의 템플릿으로 표시했다(그 템플릿은 내가 아직도 지원하는 것을 배우고 있다는 것을 인정한다).그것은 그 시점까지 나의 가장 큰 WP 업적이었고, 나는 약간 뿌듯함을 느꼈다.몇 시간 안에, 그것은 완전히 역전되었다.어떤 유의사항의 변화도 논의될 필요가 있다는 것을 알고, 나는 토크 페이지를 확인했는데, 전혀 아무것도 찾지 못했다.이것은 나를 괴롭혔다. 왜냐하면 어떤 편집자라도 (그래서 내가 추측한 바에 의하면) 나의 실책을 고치고 도움이 되는 교훈적인 메모를 그 곳이나 내 자신의 토크 페이지에 남겼을 것이기 때문이다.그러나 개정 역사에는 기본적으로 잘못했다고 내 얼굴에 손가락질을 하는 논평이 있었다.그것이 내가 처음 User를 만난 방법이었다.플라이어22 재탄생.
나의 학위 작업은 주로 인간관계와 성관계에 관한 것이었다. 나는 출판되고 그 주제적인 분야에서 정통하며, 이것은 감독을 필요로 하는 위키백과 기사에 대한 나의 선택을 알려주었다.그 결과, 사용자와의 런인(run-in)이 반복되었다.플라이어22 재탄생, 더 이상 생산적이지 않다.나는 나의 변화를 설명하기 위해 Talk 페이지를 사용하기 시작했고, 내가 점점 더 세부적인 것에 들어가는 것을 발견했고, 곧 인용된 예시와 공책 리스트를 정기적으로 동반했고, 때로는 왜 10개가 정확하지 않은지 설명하기 위해 수백 개의 단어를 사용했다.나는 평상시보다 훨씬 더 간결해졌고, 몇 개 이상의 기사의 형편없는 질에 대해 불친절한 말을 해 왔다.곧, 나는 다양한 혐의와 잠재적인 제재로 인해 정기적으로 위협을 받고 있었고, 사용자:플라이어22 리바이벌은 토크 페이지를 사용하여 내가 토크 페이지를 "악용"했다는 것을 표현했다.
그래, 나는 스니크니스와 스니크니를 만났는데, 나는 내가 이렇게 비참한 동료에 있다는 것을 알게 되어 매우 기뻤다.그것이 내가 위브 딩글을 더 힘차게 추격하지 않고 은코파로 옮겨간 이유의 일부다.
사용자 설명에 설명된 대로:Flyer22 Revolated의 "WP를 포함한 파괴적 편집자에 대한 나의 견해:양말, 그리고 불만을 품은 편집자" 나는 표준에 따라서 다음과 같이 정했다.
- 다른 사람을 따를 때 편집자의 의도와 상관없이 WP:HOUND는 "많은 사용자들이 보통 연대나 관리 목적으로 다른 사용자들의 편집을 추적한다.이것은 편집자의 기여가 그들을 곤혹스럽게 하거나, 인식된 사소한 것에 대한 보복으로 따라간다는 의혹을 제기하지 않도록 항상 주의깊게, 그리고 정당한 이유를 가지고 해야 한다.] [...] 호칭의 중요한 구성요소는 다른 사용자 자신의 편집의 즐거움을 방해하거나, 일반적으로는 프로젝트를 방해하는 것이다. 건설적인 이유는 없다고 말했다."다른 사용자 자신의 편집 즐거움에 대한 방해" 부분을 주목하시겠습니까?"다른 사용자 자신의 편집 즐거움에 대한 방해"가 해당 편집기에 대한 탭의 결과라면 당신의 의도가 무엇인지는 중요하지 않다.
나는 이제 사용자:의도에 대해 확실히 신경쓰지 않는다.플라이어22 재탄생, 나는 내가 독살스럽게 미행당하고 있는 것이 매우 의심스러웠다. 나는 분명히 괴롭힘을 당하는 것에 지쳤다. 그리고 위키피디아를 편집하는 나의 즐거움은 처음 몇 달 동안의 일부분이다. 따라서, 그 기준은 충족된다.
난 누구의 처벌도 바라지 않고 그저 어느 정도 떨어져 있을 뿐이다.내가 원하는 것은 편집하기 위해 혼자 남겨지는 것이다.접근 금지 명령 또는 이와 동등한 명령을 내린다.만약 내가 실수를 조금 바꾼다면, 나는 그 실수의 근거를 알게 되어 기쁘고, 형편없는 실수에 대해 불평하지 않는다.사용자와의 반복적인 만남:플라이어22 리바이벌은 나의 예의범절을 약화시켰고, 나는 편집자들과 좀 더 개방적이고 상호작용을 하기 위해 노력한다. 심지어 편집자들이 완전히 머리가 잘못되었다고 느낄 때에도 말이다.그러나, 나는 위키피디아를 내 소셜 네트워크나 온라인 커뮤니티로 보지 않는다. 다른 사람들이 그렇게 해도 전혀 문제가 되지 않는다. 오히려 사용자들이 신뢰할 수 있고 시기적절하며 신뢰할 수 있는 정보를 제공하는 데 필요한 업무를 수행하는 장소다.
나는 의지가 강한 사람(IRL, 적어도 IRL)으로 알려져 있다; 만약 내가 이 패배감을 느끼고 있다면, 단지 자신감이라는 죄 때문에, 사용자들에 의해 침묵하도록 겁먹은 사람은 분명히 십여 명 있다.플라이어22 재탄생, 그리고 위키피디아를 전적으로 포기한 많은 사람들.사용자:라고 믿을 이유가 없다.플라이어22 리바이벌은 독특하거나 심지어 특히 흥미롭다.만약 이것이 더 큰 괴롭힘이 항상 정상에 오를 환경이라면, 나는 괴롭힘이나 희생자가 되는 것에 관심이 없다.

- Here are the cases I have dealt with Weeb Dingle; in these you can see clearly the pattern I outlined above: [52][53][54][55]
- The problem is Weeb Dingle, and this is further confirmed by the previous times this user has been taken to ANI by Flyer22 Reborn and Pepperbeast. [56][57] In the first, Tomwsulcer commented and Doc James closed it; in the second, Black Kite closed it. Doug Weller was also there. Weeb Dingle has also received warnings on their talk page [58][59][60][61] from Toddst1, Doc James, Black Kite, and Flyer22 Reborn.
- Now this user is asking to edit however they want without interference? I don't think so. It makes no sense that they should show up at articles Flyer22 Reborn is already at and ask her to refrain from commenting on this user's ideas when there is no evidence of hounding. And now they say they would happily take up the Weeb Dingle account again given the opportunity?
- I suggest the admins do the following: (1) Block indefinitely the Weeb Dingle account to prevent any further evasion of scrutiny by switching back should the password be 'remembered'. Alternatively, if there is some way to send Nkofa the Weeb Dingle password, Nkofa could be blocked instead and they could be told to stick to the original, primary account. Assuming the former, (2) Require Nkofa to state clearly on their user page they formerly edited under Weeb Dingle, and to edit the Weeb Dingle user page to state that this person is now editing under Nkofa. (3) Warn this user strongly about their attempting to evade scrutiny, about misuse of talk pages, and about their failure to treat Wikipedia as a collaborative environment. Note that I would support even stronger sanctions should others feel they are appropriate. -Crossroads- (talk) 00:08, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
yah I posted on his talk page how to request a lost Password but .... he's lying, all you have to do is look at Weeb Dingle User contributions which ends December 21 ... last I checked Thanksgiving was in November Jena (talk) 02:40, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
Weeb Dingle's unfounded claims of hounding were addressed before. Anyone can go to an article like Romance (love) and see who was there first via the edit history. They can also look at the talk page and see what happened. How Weeb Dingle acted from the start. His password explanation doesn't hold up for reasons already noted. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 06:16, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- Nkofa or "Weeb Dingle", after reading all of this, it looks to me like your current user page is a big fat flagrant lie. I have got to admit, I really do not think that flagrant liars should be permitted to edit Wikipedia, because such people cannot be trusted about anything. So, please explain why the community of editors who tell the truth should allow you to continue editing alongside us? Cullen328 Let's discuss it 08:53, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- Piling on the above, regarding "All I want is to be left alone to edit.". This is a wiki, so that won't happen. Other people is supposed to do their best to improve stuff, including your edits, here. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:15, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- Weeb Dingle/Nkofa as others have said, your explanation doesn't make much sense considering you were editing as recently as December 21 with the Weeb Dingle account, despite losing access "around Thanksgiving Day" and this is in November or October depending on what country you're referring to. It also doesn't explain why you claimed on your Nkofa user page that December 22 was you first day [62] or you are "now here" (which I think is clearly meant to be "new here"). Other parts of your comment strongly suggest your intention was to create a new account to avoid scrutiny of your editing here. Even editors making a legitimate Wikipedia:Clean start should generally avoid misleading about their history and especially when it comes to why they have a new account. Of course it is impossible to make a legitimate clean start if you are editing the exact same article, and started editing with your new account the day after your last one started editing. I strongly suggest you think carefully about any further comments, since anything but honesty is not likely to go down well and you're clearly on thin ice.

72.185.118.31 (talk · contribs) seems to have made only disruptive edits. These last days he has been warned a few times not to make WP:ERA changes. See also the telling change he made (twice) to his talkpage,[63] proving that he is not willing to abide by our MOS guidelines on this issue. Perhaps it is time to block this editor for a month or so, just to get the point across? Debresser (talk) 00:14, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- Non-admin response: Looking through their talk page and contributions, I wonder if this user is interested in being here to build an encyclopedia or here to cause disruption. After continuing to maintain a disruptive presence after being blocked, it seems that this user creates more work for others rather than improving WP.

User:Whydopeoplebother keeps removing or refactoring other users' talk page comments at Talk:Video game exploit. He has been warned by me and User:S0091 to quit, but has blanked his talk page of the warnings and has continued his behavior. His userpage states "A veteran gamer of 30+ years and an experienced game designer. I won't bother replying to complaints about edits, I only remove misinformation and provide more accurate diagnostics. Don't like it? too bad.

- I guess just wait out the block and see what the user does after the block expires? Maybe since the talk page comments they were riled up about were archived, the user will desist. Hog Farm (talk) 18:18, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- (EC) I would say yes. Editors who refuse to communicate are frustrating and not editing with the collaborative spirit required but I'm reluctant to advocate a block for it unless it's causing problems. The talk page issue is hopefully resolved now that I archived the page. I wasn't aware the editor was also edit warring on the article until now. If they return to that when their block expires, then I longer block is likely in order. If not, we can only hope they don't repeat similar problems elsewhere, and also start to communicate a lot better. If they do earn another block, I would support quick escalation given that their lack of communication makes it difficult to know if they are going to improve.

About the edits in Ashina tribe and Göktürks page by Hunan201p
| There is no "incident" that needs an administrator's attention here. Content dispute: take it to the talk page. Drmies (talk) 16:35, 6 January 2020 (UTC) |
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
First Klyashtorny says nothing about the "ethnic" origin of Ashina. It is so written that if a reader might read, would think Ashina are Iranians. Let us check the used sources:
- "The theme of the ‘wolf’ in two of the three Türk legends is shared with the Wu-sun, who preceded the Türk Empire by many centuries. Also shared with the Wu-sun is the theme of the mutilated child abandoned in the wilderness by the enemy. According to the Shih-chi, the Wu-sun ruler K’un-mo was cast out to die when still a baby, but was nourished by birds that brought him meat and by a wolf that suckled him. The story is also related in the Han shu and its close relationship with one of the Türk origin myths is obvious. There is, however, the significant difference that, whereas in the Wu-sun myth the wolf saves the ancestor of the tribe, it is not – as in the case of the Türks – the ancestor of the people. (The connections with Mongol myths, though undeniable, should not concern us here." and "Türk system of beliefs linking at least some sections of the Türk ruling class to the Sogdians and, beyond them, to the Wu-sun who – for all we know – may have been Iranians."(1)
He only says that there is a link between the belief system. source[1]
- here, another source of his, saying that the Ashina word might be Iranian origins, saying nothing about Wu-sun people.
- this source is very very big, it can not be verified. (at least I can't)
- here it says: "He suggests that it may derive from the Tocharian title arsilanci, stemming, perhaps, from a marital tie of the Türk with the Tocharians of Qocho (Beckwith 1987, 206-208). Shervashidze reads A-shih-na as *Ahsen(a)-sad (< Soghdian: Axsina "blue" + sad, an Iranian title) (1989, 79-80). This Iranian linguistic connection was first put forward by Haussig and Bailey. More recently, Sergei Kliashtornyi has revisisted this theme and, building on the earlier work, suggests that A-shih-na is the transcription of Khotanese-Saka "Asseina/assena "blue" (cf. Soghian *ahsane) or perhaps Tocharian Asna "blue", The Khotanese-Saka form seems closest to "Ashina." This nicely dovetails with the usage "Kök Türk," Blue Türks, found in the Kül Tegin / Bilge Qaghan inscription.
Basicaly same sources over and over mentioning Klyashtorni.
- Carter V. Findley says: "The linguistically non-Turkic name, A-shih-na, probably comesfrom one of the Iranian languages of Central Asia and means “blue,” kök in Turkic, the color identified with the East, so that Kök Türk, another namefor the Türk Empire, meant the “Turks of the East.”"[2]
- R. N. Frye says nothing about the name, even there is no mention of Ashina.[3]
I can not verify the source of Rona Tas, page needed.
Conclusion: "Origin" term is misleading. Ashina does not exist in Turkic languages. This might explain the link between Göktürk which means Blue Turks and Ashina. Victor H. Mair says: "Türks, per se, had strong connections with -if not ultimate in origins in- Irano-Tocharian east Turkistan. They, or at least the Ashina, were migrants to southern Siberia - northern Mongolia, where we seem to find the major concentration of Turkic-speaking peoples. There are considerable number of Tocharian and Iranian loan words in Old Türkic - although a good number of these may have been acquire, especially in the case of Soghdian terms, during the Türk imperial period, when the Sogdhians were a subject people, ..."[4] User: Hunan201p is faking edits and misleading people. (here, I changed it to etymology section, how it must be, he reverted my edit again. He also put the same text to Göktürks to give an impression that orjinal Türks were Iranian origin. It says "Several historians have pointed out that the origin of the Ashina is from the Indo-Aryan Wusun." which is a big lie. please see (1) above, that is the orginal text. "Türk system of beliefs linking at least some sections of the Türk ruling class to the Sogdians and, beyond them, to the Wu-sun who – for all we know – may have been Iranians." As you can see, he says Wu-sun people are Iranians.
Another issue: Please see Talk:Ashina tribe#Beshogur's opinions. His first argument was "It tells us nothing we didn't already know; the Ashina tribe spoke some form of "Turkic", which was the lingua franca of the Gokturk empire. It says nothing about "Old Turkic" and nothing about the ethnic language of the Ashina.", which is basicly an absurd argument since Old Turkic language is based on Göktürks' language. Also saying "The Orkhon inscriptions are written in an Indo-European script", although Orkhon inscriptions are the first form of written Turkic languages. here my edits which are pretty much reliable and says "The reference you used in the religious section is very vague and does not explicitly state when and how Tengriism became the religion of the Ashina triben or the Turks for that matter", although my reference clearly states that: "...some scholars see this practice as amounting to a state religion, “Tengrism,” in which the ruling Ashina family gained legitimacy through its support from Tengri."[5]
I do not know if this place is the right place but I need an administrator attentions. He threatens me every time with reporting. Beshogur (talk) 20:56, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- I've read the Shiji myself, years ago, and it's a fascinating document, but honestly my eyes glazed over after 1/4 of the wall of text above. What is the specific conduct issue here? The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 22:21, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- An etymological origin is put as "ethnic origin". Which are completely different things. Also saying Ashina tribe, which Qaghans of the Turkic khaganates belong, never spoke Old Turkic, and never were Tengrist according the named user. Beshogur (talk) 00:26, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- This seems like a complex area, probably bedevilled by nationalism of authors. However I'm sure that you could both, with care and patience, collaborate to produce good content.
- For example you quote "some scholars see this practice as amounting to a state religion, “Tengrism,” in which the ruling Ashina family gained legitimacy through its support from Tengri." The important part of this quote is some scholars - this means that it is probably unwise to add this to the infobox, it is better in the body of article. You could, potentially have an infobox entry such as
religion = Disputed, see text.
- This would allow you to discuss the matter in the depth it deserves.
- The same applies to other matters, if you can say that there is a disagreement between usually reliable sources, then do that.
- I hope you guys can get on without having to resort to AN/I, which I can assure you is not fun, and a huge time sink.
- All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 22:25, 5 January 2020 (UTC).
- I'm happy to watch that page if there's a content issue, and if there are any questions I have Sima Qian on hand. But if there's something requiring intervention now, I've lost it in the verbosity above. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 22:27, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- The problem is, it is not something disputed. How are people still in denial I do not understand. (talking about Bilge Qaghan), "The qaghan claimed that he was "heaven-like, heaven-conceiver" and possessed qut (heavenly good fortune). a sign of the heavenly mandate to rule." and "The Türks, like many of their subjects, were believers in Tengri. They also worshipped Umay, a goddess associated with fertility, and Yol Tengri, a god of the road (fate)."[6] This is a small part about the "dispute", same user claims that Ashina tribe never spoke Old Turkic, now he will say that my source does not explicitly mention Ashina. "Members of the charistmatic Ashina clan had 'heaven-mandated' right to rule over large nomadical tribal groupings."[7] I am also planning to put Buddhism as minority, since few khagans were Buddhists. Beshogur (talk) 22:42, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
Comment I haven't examined the particular dispute at length so I have to AGF and assume misinterpretation rather than bad faith. But I do want to say, I have had disagreements with both Hunan and Beshogur. My disagreements with Beshogur touched on extremely emotive matters involving national identities that matter to two of us (as people who know us know, we belong to two ethnic groups whose "homeland" states currently have shite relations, and we disagree on these matters), and the portrayal of currently ongoing conflicts. My disagreements with Beshogur have involved matters involving accusations of war crimes. The two of us never resorted to the level of vitriol employed by Hunan, either on myself or Beshogur. The weird thing is, my past activity is more in line with Hunan's general views. I first met him on the page Uighurs where he was trying to remove sources that he felt were PRIMARY, and he felt overstated the level of East Eurasian and understated the level of West Eurasian admixture in Uighurs; the opposite POV had been pushed by Chinese IPs for years and I and others had had to regularly clean it up.
On the current dispute too, my personal view is generally that the "original" Turks were likely to some degree mixed in origin. But what he is saying about what that should say for the page doesn't make sense. He doesn't want the page to say that the Ashina spoke Turkic, insisting they only used it as a lingua franca
and it was not their ethnic language
which is proved by Indo-European "influences" in the Orkhon inscriptions. Namely, the scripts-- i.e. The Orkhon inscriptions are written in an Indo-European script, casting serious doubt that Ashina were ethnically Turkic
. Yes, because Bantus and Quechua and Indonesians are ethnically "Latin"? And, oops, the Sogdian script itself is descended from Semitic scripts, and Sogdians were obviously not Semitic... But even so, even if they originally spoke it as a "lingua franca", the Ashina still spoke Old Turkic, and they built an entity that spread that language. We don't need to give a darn what the original ethnic language
of the Ashina was, because that is not what is important to history, but for some reason Hunan and Hunan alone insists on redirecting all discussion to that matter, and thus obfuscating the foundational role of the Ashina in the spread of Turkic entities. So his whole shtick is really, really bizarre here. But that's okay, we're allowed to have opinions others disagreed with. What's not okay is attacking people for disagreeing with you.
The root of the problem is not his opinions; it's his behavior. This consistently involves accusing his colleagues of "falsification" (example: [[64]]; in this case "falsification" means not having the supplementary tables of one source and reporting the same information as relayed in another source that directly cites it) and all sorts of other things, seeming to imply that every case of misbalance he perceives is the result of some sort of misinformation attempt, and in the case of Beshogur, making an entire talk page attack section titled "Beshogur's opinions". That is not collegial, professional behavior. --Calthinus (talk) 23:06, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- Beshogur and Calthinus are putting words in to my mouth. In short, there is no legitimate dispute here. Beshogur attempted to remove longstanding content from the Ashina tribe page that was properly sourced, multiple times, after Wario Man and I attempted to show him that the references were legit. This has nothing to do with nationalism on my part (I'm a US citizen of Western European descent, not Asian or of any political affiliation) and everything to do with Beshogur's own bias and desire to cover up the consensus about the Ashina tribe. That can't happen and it's been pointed out by Wario-Man numerous times before that the Ashina tribe is being re-written by the editor (who is not Beshogur). The talk page at Ashina tribe has always been the place for Beshogur to contribute, not the noticeboard, which he has thrice now abused with frivolous and rambling diaries, which hardly any uninvolved administrators could expect to digest in a matter of days. Hunan201p (talk) 23:25, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- Is there a binding to "someone is going to rewrite, so you can not edit"? Beside that, read my whole text, putting it as "origin" is misleading. I checked all sources except two, which one was not readable, very very long Russian texts, other had no page number. All sources say the word Ashina has Saka/Sogdian origin and one source says that origin myths of Ashina and Wusun are similar. Nothing more. Please control them. Also most of them are citing Klyashtorni, which I have put his orginal sentence above, read it. Beshogur (talk) 00:13, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
Comment, @Wario-Man: and @Kansas Bear:, please your thoughts? Beshogur (talk) 14:33, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Indian films at Cannes
Hi. Please could someone look at this article and confirm that it's the same as the pages deleted multiple times listed here? This goes back at least five years(!) involving the re-creation of the same material by a sockfarm. I thought it had gone for good, but looks like it has returned. If it is the same material, please can it be deleted (sock avoiding a block), along with the category Category:Indian winners at Cannes? Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 14:25, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- Lugnuts, The list is similar between the two articles (not surprising) but there are a number of differences. The more important distinction is that the three introductory paragraphs current article are not tracking closely with the opening paragraphs of the deleted article. Somewhat surprising, but I don't see it as close enough to conclude it's the same editor. S Philbrick(Talk) 16:44, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for checking. I know it's only circumstantial, but I find it hard to believe that this new editor was able to suddenly create this (quite sophisticated) article. Made a handful of edits in Nov19, before lying dormant for about a month. Apart from this page, they also created this article, which was deleted in July 2017, after being re-created by a sock too. I don't know if the existing articles echoes the deleted one, but I'm guessing it does. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 17:14, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Sphilbrick: apologies if you've already seen my above comment, but please could you also do a compare to the other article they've created vs. the previous deleted one? I know it seems trivial, but I'm pretty sure it's the same editor. Thanks. LugnutsFire Walk with Me 09:12, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Disruptive user inserting fake names to BLP articles
Rolleygiacalone is repeatedly adding letters to people's names or simply changing names on BLP articles. To put it bluntly, they seem to be mostly just making shit up. Here in one of their latest additions we see them changing the name of the person the article is about from "Nellee Hooper" to "Paul Andrew "Nellee" Hooper" without any source or any mention of this name in the rest of the article. Further examples can be found here, here, here, here & here. This disruption has been going on for some time across many articles as can be seen on their contributions page and despite my repeated warnings and personal pleas they continue regardless. It should also be noted that they do not seem receptive at all to discussing their disruptive behavior. Please could an admin cast an eye. Thanks. Robvanvee 16:43, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

- I would note that although the editor's changes are inappropriate due to the lack of sources, I don't think they're making stuff up. For example, in the Simon Law case, our article currently says sometimes credited as Simon A. Law and a quick search finds non RS stuff like [65]. "Nellee" sounds a lot like a stage name to me and a quick search finds non RS or other unsuitable sources like [66] and a company record. Bernard Sumner I found [67]. Rolleygiacalone could have added to IMDb but more likely they got it from IMDb. (The other name also appeared on IMDb for Nellee.) Nil Einne (talk) 19:29, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- P.S. I should clarify I'm not suggesting any different course of action because of this. The opposite in fact. If the editor were making stuff up, frankly we probably should be considering an indef or at least final warning. Since they just appearing to be just appear to be adding stuff which is potentially true and at least didn't originate from them, but without adding suitable sources (which may not even exist); we should be more tolerant and try and help them understand our requirements so they can become a good editor. Nil Einne (talk) 20:35, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- Yeah perhaps due to my frustration I did jump to conclusions and as such have struck that comment. Thanks for clearing that up Nil but as you say non RS so I guess it becomes a BLP issue. I'll keep an eye on this user and if this persists I'll re-attempt to explain. Thanks all. Robvanvee 15:46, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Mass rollback?
I can't make Writkeeper's script work or I'd probably do it myself. User:2001:8003:55CB:7101:F1C8:257C:B1B:8A27 started by reverting a talk page post by User:Supreme Deliciousness on something irrelevant to Israel[68] and then proceeded to revert more talk page and article edits by the same editor, add the word "Israel" after "Jerusalem" multiple times, and a few ARBPIA violations. I don't see any constructive edits at all and have blocked their spree(eg at times 4 edits per minute). Is there anyone here who can do a mass rollback (or fix mine!)?

Possibly hijacked account vandalising Northern Ireland issues
I came across @Lottolads: after he vandalised my user page. Upon further review of his edits, it seems he has been recently vandalising certain Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland related pages. Including this most recent one on Unionist politician Paul Girvan here, which in my opinion is bordering on libellous. I suspect this account may have been hijacked so can I ask if admins can investigate please? The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 11:23, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Except for your talk page edit, the recent edits of the user look more like extreme POV than vandalism to me (with the disclaimer that I understand little in Irish / Northern Irish / Scottish politics), which, however, does not make them more acceptable. Let us hope that the user would come here to explain themselves.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:43, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- The edit that The C of E links to isn't purely explainable as PoV editing – changing the party a politician is affiliated with is at best incompetence, but when it is from the DUP to Sinn Fein it does look rather more like vandalism. Coupled with changing his political positions described, his nationality from British to Irish, and inserting a claim that he is Catholic (highly unlikely for a DUP MP!), this definitely looks like vandalism. Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 12:56, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- And doing a little digging: here Lottolads adds a controversial and unsourced claim to Democratic Unionist Party, and here we have the addition of an unsourced claim to a BLP that someone is an Irish Nationalist. That's just looking at Lottolads' most recent 50 contributions – it looks like there may be a problem with Irish Nationalism-related topics, which is an area under discretionary sanctions. (Although as far as I can see, they haven't received the DS notification...) Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 13:11, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- This is a long-standing user who has not previously, to my investigation, demonstrated these problems before. I would suspect a possible compromised account, given that. However, the user is ALSO clearly interested in Irish topics since they started editing back on 2015, so perhaps not. --Jayron32 13:18, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Most of Lottolad's (smallish number of) edits look merely WP:POVvy, but the linked edit on Paul Girvan was outrageous: changing country of birth from one to another (Northern Ireland to Ireland), his political party from one end of the spectrum to the other (Democratic Unionist Party to Sinn Féin), and reversing his stance on same-sex marriage from opposition to support, directly contradicting the sources.

PAustin4thApril1980 Reported by Alcibiades979 for Racism
RexxS gave PAustin4thApril1980 "an unequivocal final warning"EvergreenFir (talk) 05:33, 8 January 2020 (UTC) |
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
This deals with the page 2020 Baghdad International Airport airstrike. This page has been slightly contentious due to the event. That being said, user PAustin4thApril1980 suggested red flagging user and Wiki Administrator Mhhossein talk due to his ethnicity, Persian, saying that this makes him "sympathetic to the mullahs." I'm not Persian, I'm Colombian, but I have friends who are Persian and I find racism such as this to be absolutely disgusting.

Comment: Not racism, just saying that giving equal weight to the POV of the Iranian Government is wrong, given it is a theocratic despotism with a thin democratic veneer. PAustin4thApril1980 (talk) 13:26, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- @PAustin4thApril1980: Regardless of whether it's racism, it's a personal attack. If you do it again, you risk being blocked. As an aside, Mhhossein is not an admin at en.wiki but is one at Commons.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:42, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

- I guess I'm a little at a loss as to the fact that if I revert an edit three times I'm banned, but... if I suggest red flagging a user due to being x ethnicity, well we can just cover that up real quick, and move on, shame on whoever replied because then we could've just flat out deleted the whole thing and pretended it didn't happen. It seems to me that maybe priorities are a little misplaced. Edit warring bad, suggesting someone's thoughts and ideas are invalid on a subject due to being Iranian, or Chinese, or Latin or Arab or whatever, then trying to gain consensus to ban them from said topic seems far worse. Racism is racism. It seems to me that on an international site like Wikipedia that should be taken very seriously. But then again, I'm Colombian, so what do I know? Alcibiades979 (talk) 14:04, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- As I explained, I was upset because I feel NPOV should not mean giving equal time to theocratic despots. It was out of a sense of morality and a desire for justice, not racism. PAustin4thApril1980 (talk) 14:08, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- It may help if you clarify what you're referring to. If you revert an edit four times, that's a violation of WP:3RR, and you may receive a short block to stop you from doing it further. You won't be banned though, unless there is something much wider going on. As for this case, well the editor is likely to be blocked if they repeat their statement. And potentially it will be a longer block than a simple, single, first, 3RR violation. AFAICT, the article doesn't come under any WP:discretionary sanctions regime, except maybe BLP and ISIL, and none has been tagged. If it does, and is tagged, and an admin applies 1RR, then reverting 3 times may earn you a block. If you are aware of the discretionary sanctions regime, it could conceivable earn a topic ban, but again, it is very, very, unlikely based solely on you reverting an edit 3 times.

Alcibiades979 (talk) 14:04, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
The suggestion to "red flag" someone because of their ethnicity was entirely inappropriate. If we suggest that someone with an Iranian/Persian connection cannot comment at that page, we should also ban American editors from commenting there. They (we) are just as likely to have a bias with regard to this incident - probably more so. IMO no action should be taken here, but PAustin (who BTW is unrepentant and does not seem to understand why their comment was inappropriate) should be formally warned not to make that kind of comment about another editor in the future. -- MelanieN (talk) 16:13, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
This warrants a block in my opinion. To "redflag" someone as unable to edit Wikipedia based on their ethnicity is unacceptable. This user has a history of claiming non-democracy sources and people are inherently POV, despotic, and otherwise lesser ([69], [70], [71]). Seems that others think a "final warning" would be better, and I think that should be a minimum response here. EvergreenFir (talk) 19:25, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- Given the range of opinions expressed here, I've chosen to issue an unequivocal final warning to PAustin4thApril1980. I confirm that I'm willing to make an indefinite block should the behaviour recur. --RexxS (talk) 20:02, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
Doncram's actions ignoring the AfD Result and now edit warring
- Bachelor Lake (Brown County, Minnesota) went through an AfD and finished as a Keep December 14th, 2019. The AfD the nominator (User:Doncram) was tendentious in the AfD responding to every !voter. And after the AfD the editor redirected the article saying it was discussed at AfD. Now the editor is edit warring to keep their preferred version of the article.
- On January 1, Doncram redirected the article saying it was discussed at AfD. For the recored the !vote rationales were 5 keep, 2 redirect. The closer closed this as Keep I reverted the editor's redirect and posted on the article talk page and on the editor's talk page but Doncram quickly erased my comment called me a "jerk" for pinging and said they "disagree" with me (in their edit summary). The editor then went to the article and began erasing references (depreciating the article), here and here. I asked the editor to self-revert on the talk page of the article. I also posted on the editor's talk page however the editor erased my comment again.
- I have reverted one of Doncram's depreciating edits on the article, because the editor mistakenly thought they were erasing a duplicate reference. (It is actually two books by the same author). However the editor returned to revert me and erase the reference again. Now putting up walls of text to justify their behavior.
Proposal: I ask that Doncram be instructed to follow the WP:CONSENSUS policy regarding the result of the AfD. I also ask that Doncram refrain from further erasing references on the Bachelor Lake (Brown County, Minnesota) article and edit warring to their preferred version.
- Support as Nominator. Lightburst (talk) 02:36, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- Umm, this is not worth much discussion. Yes, I redirected the article, and Lightburst disagreed and reverted me, and I did not re-redirect. I directed Lightburst to discuss the content of the article at its Talk page, which is going on, sort of. Lightburst has conveyed in comment there and/or in edit summary that they think an AFD "Keep" decision means an article is locked in terms of its content, which is simply false. Discussion about content, including whether to keep padding added during the AFD process, should take place at the Talk page. I see no reason for discussion about this at AFD. --Doncram (talk) 02:41, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- A case of WP:IDHT:
Lightburst disagreed and reverted me
. It is not that I disagreed - it is the result of an AfD and community input. The editor wants the article deleted or redirected and took unilateral action against consensus and now IMO is reverting the article to a version which supports that conclusion. Lightburst (talk) 02:47, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- A case of WP:IDHT:
- Comment. This might be worth a look at deletion review; I'm not convinced by the closer's (non-)evaluation of the WP:GEOLAND arguments. I probably would have evaluated that discussion as a consensus to redirect, given the relative paucity of sources for writing an article. Otherwise, I tend to agree with Doncram that there's nothing to do here. The talk page is in use, and an AfD keep result doesn't preclude a subsequent redirect or other refactoring if editors decide that's a good idea inasmuch as the content is still kept, just somewhere else. Mackensen (talk) 02:52, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: For the record, the AFD vote count asserted above is wrong, omitting an explicit "Delete" vote and the nominator's (my) implicit delete vote. And by my count, Lightburst made more total edits in the AFD discussion (13, compared to 12 by me, the deletion nominator). And Lightburst still has not responded in the Talk page discussion to what they label above as "wall of text", in which I explained to Lightburst why I deleted the padding reference, while a couple other editors have agreed there that the deletion is appropriate. I don't know if Lightburst should be scolded or anything for opening this AFD, I personally don't care, but I do believe this section is otherwise ready to be closed. Anyhow, good night to all. --Doncram (talk) 06:11, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- Nothing to see here except your end-run around Wikipedia consensus policy. And now you depreciated the article to favor deletion, the guide on lakes will also be ignored. WP:GEOLAND#4.
Named natural features are often notable, provided information beyond statistics and coordinates is known to exist. This includes mountains, lakes, streams, islands, etc. The number of known sources should be considered to ensure there is enough verifiable content for an encyclopedic article.

- Lightburst, I don't think there's anything wrong with Guy's relisting. The AfD discussion shouldn't have been closed by this user, all he's done is undo that action. (FWIW, I'm concerned to discover that the account in question was closing AfD discussions - I interacted with him a lot over the last few months, and even if he hadn't been socking, I have doubts over his competency in this area.) GirthSummit (blether) 15:48, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- The question is how else could it have been closed? It was a clear consensus. Also we often have sock participation in AfDs (there more than any other area) and we do not cancel the result two weeks later. There are avenues: Deletion review...or a second AfD. Lightburst (talk) 15:52, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- Lightburst, sock participation is one thing, but a sock of a banned user closing the discussion? That seems pretty unusual to me. All I'm saying is that I don't think that there was anything wrong with Guy's action, in the circumstances - I'm not aware of a specific policy with regard to AfD discussions, but undoing the actions of the sock of a banned user doesn't seem out of the ordinary to me. GirthSummit (blether) 16:36, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- Exactly. If someone had taken ownership of the close before Guy had reverted, maybe it was worth just letting that be. But a close by a globally locked sock is completely tainted. In such a case, the only logical WP:NOTBURO way that applies is that the closure can be reversed without wasting time on a dumb discussion because some party is so sure that there is no other way the discussion can be closed yet for some reason is afraid to alone the discussion to run for a bit longer until an editor in good standing closes it. Nil Einne (talk) 18:32, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

- @MJL: sorry but that makes zero sense. As far as we all should be concerned, the AfD was never actually closed. Maybe it didn't have to be relisted, but the close needed to be reverted. The was never any possibility of 're-assessed'. The discussion was never actually assessed because banned socks do not get to close discussions. Anyone who thinks that banned socks get to close discussions shouldn't be at ANI and frankly should be involved in any type of XfD. This discussion was opened by LightBurst, so the only reason "AN/I denizens all about" is because Lightburst opened this IMO pointless ANI. That said, thank you for at least being honest about the point. Lightburst implied there was no way the discussion could be closed in any way, yet somehow was super worried about it being re-listing rather than taken to deletion review even though logically both will lead to the same outcome. As I implied, this made no sense. The most likely reason of course is that Lightburst didn't want the wider attention coming from their own actions. Sorry but you get no sympathy from me if attention from a broader spectrum of participants leads to a different outcome than you'd like. Frankly any contributor here should be happy if a discussion gets wider attention provided it isn't in the form of canvassing or comments which do nothing to achieve a most stable and well supported broad-based consensus (or establish the lack of one). Nil Einne (talk) 15:33, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

I have learned that ANI can be a colossal waste of time and full of frustration. Nil Einne's dislike of my ANI has been noted several times in this thread - lots of assumptions have been made by the editor. Nothing nothing Nil Einne has said here or anywhere in this discussion has been helpful. For instance here is a typical assumption:
super worried about it being re-listing rather than taken to deletion review
That is not the case at all. I just dislike when unilateral action is taken - we have processes in place. The other assumption is that somehow there is an approval of a sock closing the AfD. It is waste of time to address such an assumption. I am checking out of this ANI now, talk amongst yourselves. Lightburst (talk) 16:04, 3 January 2020 (UTC) - @Lightburst: You know... calling editors
snarly
isn't the best way to make friends. How about use a more playful term like "grumpy" or something kind like "disheartened"? It's incredibly poor form to make off-hand remarks like you just did (regardless of who it is directed at). –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 16:34, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

- @Nil Einne:My preference for the term is simply of pragmatic consideration. The first close was invalid; it's irrelevant how it is invalid. If an admin closed the discussion saying "this is a supervote" then it'd be invalid too. Still, I'd say the discussikn needs to be "re-assessed" just like someone would use the term "re-examined" (First examination not required). To be clear, Lightburst opened up this thread with a specific intent to examine a user's behaviour. This was not an attempt to get wider discussion on the deletion outcome. The point being made was that Doncram ignored the results of an AFD close. That the AFD later turned out to be closed by a sockpuppet is immaterial to the facts at hand; all the actors present thought it was legitimate.
As to my denizens of AN/I comment, I highly encourage you to put yourself in the place of a user who isn't particularly well loved by several participants of this board. Re-opening the conversation at this point makes the AFD an unnecessary outgrowth this one. That takes up editor time best spent else imo. (edit conflict) –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 16:22, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

Someone nominates an article for deletion, fails to get it deleted, so (example [[72]]; in this case "falsification" means not having the supplementary tables of one source and reporting the same information as relied in another source that directly cites it)waits a month so less people are around to notice and tries to eliminate it with a redirect. Should be a bot to detect how many redirects were created by someone who previously nominated the article for deletion and failed. Dream Focus 14:19, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- Indeed this is a very good suggestion and such redirects should be highlighted in some way, for others to partrol. Dream Focus, Please also propose it on WP:VP]] to get this implemented in some way. Much needed. Happy New Year! ᗙ DBigXrayᗙ 14:30, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- It's far more common for people unhappy with a redirect consensus to sneak back when nobody's watching and restore the redirected article. The D&D enthusiasts in particular are known for this. Your hypothetical bot should be able to cope with this tactic as well, no? Reyk YO! 14:35, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- Reyk that is also true. I have seen that happen as well. Both are sneaky and against policy. Some sort of page protection might be in order for a time after a clear consensus is reached and an AfD closes. In this case an administrator has now skipped the step of deletion review and relisted this AfD. I am sure they can justify it in their mind, but it is still disheartening. As someone who also participates in many AfDs I am sure you understand the frustration. Not only did I respond to this editor's walls of text in the AfD but I actively improved the article. And when the editor did not get their desired deletion they waited two weeks and then redirected- which if we are being honest, is another way to delete. Lightburst (talk) 15:29, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- I think you'd be making it more tricky if the proposed bot were having to look for an editor who had initiated an AfD. After all, they could simply undo/redo the redirect while they were logged out, which would defeat it. What you'd probably need to look for is simply an article being converted to a redirect / converted from a redirect where that article had been at AfD in the previous X months. You'd get quite a few false positives, too - any AfD that had been closed as "Merge" would appear when the content was finally merged and redirected. Black Kite (talk) 16:18, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

- I wish people would use AfD for its originally intended purpose, which is simply to decide whether or not an admin should hit the "delete" button. If the decision is "no" then nothing has changed, and the article can be edited and things like redirecting and merging can be discussed on the talk page in the same way as could have been done in the absence of a deletion discussion. I have noticed that Lightburst has even taken several articles to deletion review recently where he doesn't want deletion and the decision of the AfD was also not to delete the article, but just a different flavour of non-deletion from what that editor wants. It is a colossal waste of everyone's time to discuss issues that don't involve deletion at locations where the "D" stands for deletion. Just use the article talk page.

Wish you would respect that we have rules and avenues to get to the right result here. Lightburst (talk) 17:45, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- Well the "rules" in such much are they exist, are that redirects don't need to go through AfD since they are not a form of deletion. There are appropriate forums to discuss redirects proposals and AfD isn't really one of them. This doesn't mean editors should ignore AfD results where the outcome was clearly not in favour of redirecting, but if you're using AfD when all your want is a redirect, you're doing the wrong thing, and I don't see why you respect you. The fact that you're advocating we ignore the fact a globally locked sock closed the AfD, gives us even less reason to respect you. Frankly, I initially had some sympathy with your PoV when I read your first post, but I lost it the more and more I read your followups until this post of yours was the final straw as it were, since you seem to be explicitly advocating misusing forums for the wrong purpose.

. But if the closure was correct, then it does not matter. reclose. Instead it is reopened without following any policies. Lightburst (talk) 18:33, 2 January 2020 (UTC)- I don't think there's a policy that says that if an AfD closes keep, it's not OK to redirect or merge, either BOLDly through the BRD process, or by starting a discussion on the talk page. If you think that's what the rules should be, then propose a change to some policy making it so. But I don't think that's current policy. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) I often see AfD closers saying "no consensus to delete, merge or redirect can be discussed on the article talk page," or something like that. – Levivich 18:36, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Levivich: The common convention is that redirects are a lesser form of deletion and merges are a lesser form of keeping. In general, I would say that a bold merge is fine in those cases, but never a straight redirect (since the content has consensus for inclusion in the encyclopedia). –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 16:40, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- MJL, that makes sense! – Levivich 17:28, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- Then I would take issue with what you claim to be the common convention. Both merging and redirection (but not "delete and redirect") are forms of keeping, because the content is still in the article history where any editor can see it without having to be an admin, and everyone, not just admins, has the technical ability to revert, although it would nearly always be best to hold an article talk page discussion before doing so.

- How some tool reports it is irrelevant. Articles that are redirected without being deleted first have simply, factually, not been deleted, but edited. It is an action that needs no administrator powers, which editors (such as I) perform regularly without going through an attention-seeking AfD discussion first. I don't understand why so many people don't get that. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:12, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- Maybe you would "get it" if you had ever NPP'd a newly created article that is a clear candidate for being turned into a redirect, then seen it being reverted back again and again by the (usually newbie) editor. Being a new article, it will have zero watchers; good luck with any discussion on the talk page. The only way to get a redirect to stick under these circumstances is to boot it to AfD and have consensus put a stamp on it. This is both sensible and standard usage, and I'm getting increasingly ticked off with people who rail against this "misuse" of AfD. It isn't a misuse. --Elmidae(talk · contribs) 19:24, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- The way to get a redirect to stick in the face of edit-warring when it is obvious or has consensus on the talk page (which can be reached, as it can in a deletion discussion, by a failure to provide reasoned opposition) is simply to ask for the redirect to be protected. WP:AFD has always been for articles that you want to be deleted - the clue is in the "D" in its title.

Nice malicious insinuation from someone who seems to spend the majority of their time commenting on absolutely every scrap of text on the drama boards... but suit yourself; the redirect discussion functionality of AfD will continue in absence of your approval, I fancy.Let's keep this more palatable: I am both annoyed and disappointed by that insinuation, and do not intend to engage further on that level. Over and out. --Elmidae(talk · contribs) 19:58, 4 January 2020 (UTC)- As long as you restrict discussions to article talk pages, you're effectively restricting them to fans or wikiproject participants. And they're going to primarily vote to keep cruft as expansive and crufty as possible. That's why some people don't like taking these issues to a wider and more unbiased audience. Accusations of self promotion are just one of many dubious attacks on deletion nominators. Reyk YO! 12:17, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

- Phil Bridger, yet we have redirects for discussion and the like. I don't see a problem discussing a terrible article at XfD and deciding whether to delete, draftify, stub, redirect or keep. It gets more eyes on the article, which is mainly what's needed, and none of the other mechanisms for trying to achieve that have half as much success. Guy (help!) 19:24, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
(EC) My view: AfDs shouldn't generally be used if the desired outcome is to turn the article into a redirect while keeping the edit history. However if the outcome of an AfD is clear that the article should be kept and not as a redirect, then this should be respected. Since WP:Consensus can change it would be reasonable to open a discussion on the article talk page, or very rarely, to turn the article into a redirect without discussion after a period of time, just as opening another AfD. It's fairly unlikely a month is long enough, just as it isn't generally long enough to open a new AfD.
If there was no clear consensus on whether the article may be turned into a redirect in the AfD, then it seems reasonable to move that discussion to the article talk page after the AfD closes.
Care should always be taken when assessing consensus to ensure that the editors were truly opposed to turning an article into a redirect. While it is one possible outcome, since AfDs aren't really intended for discussing turning an article into a redirect, it possible some editors may say "keep" when they wouldn't be opposed to turning the article into a redirect as they don't consider it the best place for such a discussion.
I have not looked at the particular discussion, so I have no view on whether the AfD was clearly opposed to turning the article into a redirect, for reasons I outlined in other posts, I don't trust the judgement of the OP, and I definitely don't trust the judgement of the banned closer.
- Nil Einne, why not? It's a good way of establishing an unambiguous consensus that the topic does not stand alone. Guy(help!) 19:26, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- @JzG: As the article is not going to be deleted, there is no need to use an AfD which is explicitly structured to determine if the article should be deleted and therefore only accessible to admins. An RfC can be used and there is no reason why an RfC consensus will be more ambigious. Actually, it may be more ambigious since editors may not properly consider the issue of redirecting the article. (If someone sees an article and the topic is clearly notable, they're probably going to say "keep, clearly notable per the sources" especially if no one has suggested a redirect already.) If AfDs were good at establishing unambigious consensuses on redirection then frankly we should be considering a topic ban on DonCram since they weren't aware that the discussion was never actually closed so they were ignoring the unambigious consensus against a redirect. Nil Einne (talk) 20:21, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- Nil Einne, equally one could argue that the primary purpose of AfD is to decide whether a topic is notable. And that is exactly the nature of such a debate. I have no view on Doncram right now. Guy(help!) 20:38, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- @JzG: but plenty of people are saying it is notable, but support a redirect nevertheless which is a key point. Just because something is notable doesn't mean we should have a standalone article about it. Anyway I mostly came back to say that sometimes the WP:Merging process may better than an RfC. The only other thing I'll say is IMO there is an important reason why it's Redirects for discussions but Articles for deletion]. AfD should generally only be used for deletion discussion not more generic discussion on what to do with a page. Better process are available. And there's a key reason here. As a non admin, I cannot boldly delete a page, or undelete it. (I can recreate a deleted page but I should never use any material from the deleted one for attribution reasons.) Admins who can, shouldn't generally bold do so either. However it is fully acceptable to boldly redirect a page or turn a redirect into a full fledged article (or reverse an old redirect) in some cases, in part because from a technical standpoint, the result is very different. Nil Einne (talk) 09:30, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- Nil Einne, yes, BOLD is OK, but I don't think we can say that AfD is wrong when redirect / smerge / whatever would be an acceptable outcome, I think a lot of people view redirect as a kind of deletion so prefer to see an AfD debate. I think it's one of those issues on which reasonable people can disagree, Guy (help!) 10:11, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

- Not impressed with Doncram merging without any attempt at a formal merger discussion, which is what was really needed at the moment. The keep verdict at AFD was fairly strong, so obviously a new consensus was going to be necessary to merge. The problem is that Domcran acts too boldly before undertaking actions that are clearly controversial. Eliteplus (talk) 22:19, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Sure, it could have it's own article, but why is it necessary over having a mention in the Brown County, Minnesota article? (This is a rhetorical question.

- @MJL: No not really. Yes there is some unnecessary heat in that discussion. But it also wasn't closed by a sock. Ultimately that's enough to establish it's a better outcome than the alternative. Also, if we want to get technical, despite the unnecessary heat in that discussion, it has way more participation than it did before, and most participants are not taking part in the heat. (Well frankly most new participants came before the heat really developed.) So the likely outcome is a more stable and well supported consensus, or establishing that there is no consensus. Of course, and I can't emphasise this enough. When it is closed, it's most likely not going to be closed by a sock, so by definition, a better outcome. Nil Einne (talk) 11:36, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

- Girth Summit, every time something like this happens it’s “just” over an article about a lake, or a minor fictional character, or a list of left-handed banjo players, or whatever. But these are chronic and ongoing issues. Specifically the attacks on AfD nominations, the brigading, the bludgeoning, the escalating to DRV or ANI, etc. I fear it’s reaching a boiling point. – Levivich 19:59, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- Levivich, perhaps there are some underlying issues - but I'm not sure we need to see it as being at boiling point, if we all take a step back. In this thread, and at the AfD discussion, and elsewhere, some people have been getting quite frustrated/angry, possibly to the point of personalising some of the issues (FWIW, I don't count you amongst those people). The issues that you have been describing though are not really what triggered this thread, which was a specific complaint against a specific editor. You're describing a broader issue, and if we are to discuss that, I think it needs to be framed carefully, so that we're not basing it around a particular AfD discussion, or singling out individuals for criticism that's really targeting at the culture more generally. Please read my 'let's go down the pub' comment above as 'let's take the heat out of this particular argument, remember that we're all on the same side really, and maybe have a civil (friendly even?) conversation about it somewhere else'. I'm not sure where that somewhere else needs to be, and I'd be interested in participating in that discussion - but I'd really like it not to be a battleground, if we can achieve that.

At least three of them will show up, !Vote "Keep" with some non-rational like "WP:BEFORE" and "WP:NOTPAPER". When the !vote starts going against them they start attacking the integrity of other users.

- Levivich, perhaps there are some underlying issues - but I'm not sure we need to see it as being at boiling point, if we all take a step back. In this thread, and at the AfD discussion, and elsewhere, some people have been getting quite frustrated/angry, possibly to the point of personalising some of the issues (FWIW, I don't count you amongst those people). The issues that you have been describing though are not really what triggered this thread, which was a specific complaint against a specific editor. You're describing a broader issue, and if we are to discuss that, I think it needs to be framed carefully, so that we're not basing it around a particular AfD discussion, or singling out individuals for criticism that's really targeting at the culture more generally. Please read my 'let's go down the pub' comment above as 'let's take the heat out of this particular argument, remember that we're all on the same side really, and maybe have a civil (friendly even?) conversation about it somewhere else'. I'm not sure where that somewhere else needs to be, and I'd be interested in participating in that discussion - but I'd really like it not to be a battleground, if we can achieve that. GirthSummit (blether) 20:21, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
OK, so it seems like there is something here that we should talk about. I don't think that this thread is the place to do it though - it's already massively long, and we're not really talking about the thing we started out with. Since the pub seems to have been built at the bottom of a lake, and it's hard to talk with scuba gear in your mouth, here are a couple of 'straws in the wind' ideas on how to proceed:
- If you think these a broad issues with the culture of behaviour within ARS, start a thread at WT:ARS, outlining the concerns, and giving examples of discussions that got heated and unpleasant. Advertise the discussion in relevant places, and see whether we can get a conversation going and build a firm consensus on how to interpret the ground rules for this kind of contentious deletion discussion. I've had some very good interactions with ARS members in the past, including times when they have worked on and 'saved' articles I had nominated for deletion - these things don't need to be unpleasant, but they need a big dose of civility, AGF and general not-being-a-jerk-about-it on both sides. I know the necessary rules already exist, but people are interpreting them in different ways, and a discussion about the problems might go somewhere.
- Or... if you feel there are specific individuals unambiguously breaking rules, then name the individuals rather than addressing this at the entire team of ARS volunteers, and start a new thread here with diffs, which can be considered individually.
That's my tuppence worth anyway. GirthSummit (blether) 20:04, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- There was a recent broad discussion at VPR in November, and ANIs in August and June, an MFD in June, a 2018 ANI, and atleastfourANIs and an RFC in 2012, a 2009 MFD (that was the 4th nomination), and a 2007 ANI, among others. I've taken my concerns to specific editors on various talk pages already, and I'm sure things will turn around any minute now. :-) – Levivich 21:41, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- Levivich, thanks for that history, which I was unaware of. I've got some thoughts about some of it, but I probably need to do a bit more thinking, and as I've already said, I don't think this thread is the place for it - I'll probably swing by your talk page at some point.

user:39.32.220.50 just violated the BLP rule after her final warning. CLCStudent (talk) 18:38, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- It does not look like you told them what the problem was. Your warning said they were entering defamatory information. I don't see that in their recent edits. Instead, please indicate what you see is the problem, and explain in detail what specific thing they are doing that you want them to stop. You and I both know that they are changing birth years, but you did not let them know this was the problem, so how are they supposed to know to stop that? Warning templates are poorly suited for this purpose, you should perhaps in the future just type out a direct message. --Jayron32 18:56, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
Heads up: addition of potentially malicious material to computer security articles
I see that there is a pattern of IP editors adding potentially malicious material to Macro virus and other malware-related articles such as Trojan:Win32/Agent, Xor DDoS and Cydoor, of a sort that might be useful to tech support scammers. Some of it is actually happening in real time: see the history of Macro virus for an almost instant response to my revert.
I've reverted and protected articles and blocked recent spamming IPs, but there seems to have been a lot of this from multiple IPs over a long period of time. Please be aware of this, so we can take appropriate action to stop it in future. -- The Anome (talk) 20:12, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Possible IP range block?
I have been editing articles that are related to the Pixel smartphones for the past 2 years. However, I have been noticing a similar IP range that has been giving undue weight to Pixel articles. This is bothersome as the edits maintain a consistent narrative. Pixel phones get their fair share of legit criticism from journalists but the IP range's editing behavior does not maintain NPOV.
I tried to narrow the range with the CIDR suffix, it seems this might be the IP range: 85.48.186.58/16 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · block user · block log)
The edits have similar behaviors with reverts and edit summaries: [73] [74] [75] [76]
I'm also seeing similar behavior in the contribution history. I also understand /16 is pretty much specifying an ISP node (MediaWiki is telling me this is 65,536 IP addresses). Could anything be done in regards to curbing vandalism from the IP range? – The Grid (talk) 16:36, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- The Pixel edits seem to be coming from Special:Contributions/85.48.184.0/22 and Special:Contributions/90.174.0.0/21. But these edits are definitely not vandalism. Vandalism is when someone replaces an entire article with curse words. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:05, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- I didn't state it was vandalism but I can see how you did with my usage of the {{IPvandal}} template. I couldn't really think of a better way to show the IP range links. I think the issue that points out the most is possible 3RR violations even when comments are addressed. The IP hopping prevents pinging or discussion except at the respective talk pages. The IP range is aware of the talk page as seen in Pixel 3 and Pixel 4. Would it be better to consult here or AN3 if this persists? – The Grid (talk) 18:43, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- You literally called it vandalism in your previous edit: "
Could anything be done in regards to curbing vandalism from the IP range?
" If you want these IPs range blocked, you'll have to post evidence of disruption in the form of diffs. What I see so far is a content dispute, which you've mischaracterized as vandalism. Edit warring reports would best be resolved at WP:ANEW. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:39, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

edit warring by Human Taxonomist over multiple articles
| Sock blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:14, 8 January 2020 (UTC) |
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
We have a problem with USER:Human Taxonomist on these articles
- Welsh People on a minor issue in the lede
- English People over a claim the English invented Baseball with talk page discusses there and Origins of baseball just to make life difficult
- Frisians over an issue of numbers
- Dutch people over identity
- Aragonese people on a relationship by genetics issue (just starting there)
There may be others and we have a personal attack removing a warning here and the talk page speaks for itself. Looks like a certain spurt around some strongly held issues after a period with very few edits.
USER:Sirfurboy has rather foolishly edit warred to restore the status quo but I think has stopped
A voluntary 1RR agreement or a block seem options but its down to the community. I haven't been directly involved other than suggesting a compromise of Welsh people -----Snowded TALK 20:04, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- I would be surprised if this warrants as black a mark as a block, considering the editor's inexperience, even though they seem to be knowledgeable in their field (and in WP editing). Rather, could they be encouraged to take some time to acquaint themselves with WP non-combative behavioural etiquette and collaboration before editing too much more? Tony Holkham (Talk) 20:28, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- If you look people have tried that - a voluntary 1rr might be best but it is a pattern that needs nipping in the bud :-) -----SnowdedTALK 20:31, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- Warned by User:Mutt Lunker[77] on the 31st for unconstructive editing at English people presumably because of this[78] where his edit summary said "no one has replied or continued to sufficient explain their opposition on the talk pages; thus, original edit as per WP will be restored'". At this point on the talk page[79] Mutt and I had disagreed with him but he didn't like what we said, so restored his edit. Some of the same discussion on content was carrying on at the same time at Talk:Origins of baseball with User:Meters also disagreeing with him. I gave him a warning the next day for the same material as he clearly had no consensus. Sirfurboy's warning of the 2nd was removed today with the edit summary "removed unjustified warning from an inflammatory editor" Also today User:Gareth Griffith-Jones warned him about introducing controversial material at Welsh people followed by a warning from User:LindsayH for saying that an editor was being obtuse. Content disputes are not resolved by just ignoring or dismissing the arguments of others, and on these (baseball and the Welsh) he's not had any support for his position.

- Sad to say, i would not be surprised if this ends up with a block; i have no reason to suspect he's the same user, quite the contrary i expect not, but the actions remind me of Irvine22's from some years ago, who did similar sorts of warring and ignoring until the community had had enough. I don't think that Human Taxonomist has reached that point yet but, should he not take note of current warnings ~ especially this entry at ANI ~ i fear that is where we'll end up, as this is very clearly an issue of an editor's actions, not the content he's arguing over. Happy days, LindsayHello 21:47, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- Where do I begin? I have not done anything to merit a block in my opinion. There was, maybe, some 'edit warring' in terms of the revision of one or two articles by myself and User:Sirfurboy at some of these articles. However, WP:3RR was careful not to be breached by either of us. We are, attempting, to compromise on disputes. I sincerely apologize for mistakenly labeling User:Sirfurboy as 'inflammatory' in unwarranted warnings and revisions on my talk page. My intention was to label his edits there as inflammatory, not him personally. In the case of one or two of these disputes, however, I patiently discussed on relevant talk pages and waited for weeks for replies - which often never came until I went on to make edits again. Only then did they come back to (sort of) discuss again - but only to keep their revision in place and remind me "consensus has to be reached" first, but being quite careful to keep their revision in place. It is not my fault if editors just decide to leave instead of making their case of opposition in an edit conflict. User:Doug Weller and User:Matt Lunker, for example, disappeared from the conversation for weeks. How is an issue going to be resolved if they just leave the conversation? Is the policy to 'win' a conflict to simply revise, discuss a bit, then simply leave if the argument is not going your way? You should also be giving a warning to many other users involved here to 'not revert here until consensus is achieved'. Look at what has occurred on many of those articles listed since this unfair "reporting" of me was made: editors like Sirfurboy have just went on themselves to make edits without 'achieving consensus first'. This is hypocritical, and appears to be an attempt by some who disagree with me to stifle my editing privileges. There is no malicious intent here at article disruption, and I try to be careful not to make personal attacks, despite them being labelled at me at times. But I am not perfect, and some users can take any type of 'offence' as a 'personal attack'. The warning made was duly noted, and there is no other example of a 'personal attack' being made.

- You returned to Make this edit [80] weeks after
MattMutt and I had replied to you without you responding, claiming that "(no one has replied or continued to sufficient explain their opposition on the talk page". That's not what I see when I look. Doug Weller talk 23:54, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- You returned to Make this edit [80] weeks after
- I suggest reading the edit history at Talk:English people. I had the last replies in the discussion, and no one replied for weeks until I returned and made the edits restoring my preferred version. Human Taxonomist (talk) 02:27, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- I am not sure that you have remained under the 3RR rule. 5 minutes after you deleted my warning on your page that I was concerned you were about to breach the 3RR on the Dutch People page, you reverted me again, here: [[81]]. I said I was not willing to make a complaint about that because I thought you are inexperienced, and with good intent. I asked you to self revert but you did not. However I may have got the count wrong. That was your third revert on that page and I think 3RR actually says you must make more than 3 reverts in 24 hours to breach it. However you also reverted two of my edits on the talk page (the second one after I had objected). So maybe that was a breach of the 3RR, and maybe it wasn't. I don't think it is very careful, however, to make another revert 5 minutes after being warned you are about to breach the 3RR rule. Also I would point out that reversion is kind of a big deal. In 15 years in Wikipedia, you have reverted more of my edits than I have ever had reverted before -in total. You have been directed to talk, but you write something in the talk section and then immediately revert. Now in my attempts to keep to WP:BRD, I have reverted some of your edits too, and as User: Snowded has said, that was unwise of me. However, at no time have I been reverting deliberately until I was just short of the 3RR rule as though that is a magic number. A block can be imposed for any edit warring, and edit warring has definitely been your style.
- WP:3RR says it is violated if more than 3 are made in a 24 hour period. I did not do that in the articles you are referring to. Your claims of innocence in edit warring are false. You have been making just as many reverts of my edits, including routinely before consensus has been reached, and based on a cursory overview of your edit history, you have also done this before. You indeed have also been careful to revert without breaching 3RR, like here [82] (reverting while also making new changes is still covered under 3RR), so that would appear to be a lie. Human Taxonomist (talk) 02:36, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- If you can agree to try a more constructive approach, I would argue to avoid a block for you. But as others have pointed out, the approach must be more constructive. I think you are here with good intent, but we are here together to build an encyclopaedia as a community. That means that when you are asked to await consensus, that is exactly what you should do. If other editors don't agree, then we have to live with that.
- That is nice of you, but nothing I have done merits a block. I would further add that the (incorrect) reasons for blocking me would also apply to your own poor editing behaviour. Human Taxonomist (talk) 03:31, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- Regarding the inflammatory language towards me, I have a thick skin and have been called worse. I am happy to let that pass, but you will be aware now of the community standard.
- I already addressed this. Your edits on my talk page were what was meant to be described as 'inflammatory', not you personally. It has been difficult reasoning with you on one or two topics, but I do not hold any enmity against you or anything. Human Taxonomist (talk) 02:50, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- What really concerns me is the way you have ignored arguments and just repeatedly put back material that has been challenged. That seems to me to be the core issue, and if that can be addressed, perhaps a block can be avoided. -- Sirfurboy (talk) 00:32, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- You, yourself, are guilty of the same behaviour. Thus, you really cannot comment on blocking another user for such. I am not editing anything at Frisians until consensus on the talk page is reached. I would add though that simply dragging on the discussion until you 'get your own way' is not constructive, like what is being done at English people. You need to make an attempt at discussing, in detail, the reasons for your opposition. So far, you have not explained how Ethnologue is somehow not a reliable source (it is), nor how the numbers it states specifically for 'ethnic population' are somehow invalid (your personal disagreement with it is not sufficient for its exclusion). The conflict at Welsh people was successfully resolved, so I do not see why the others can't be. I have been conciliatory to a great deal already, for the sake of compromise. It would be helpful for you to show the same courtesy. Human Taxonomist (talk) 02:50, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- I was only involved in the did English people invent baseball question on that article's talk page and on History of baseball, but I would support an edit warring block on that behaviour alone. The user has made the claim that the English invented baseball five times now despite there clearly being no consensus that the material should be included. Note the the fifth time was after I had agreed with the removal and posted to the user on talk:English people[83] and talk:Origins_of_baseball[84]. Human Taxonomist was clearly aware of my objections since he or she replied to both threads [85][86] before making the final revert [87]. I would have thought that a warning would be sufficient since Human Taxonomist is a new editor, but even after ending up at ANI over this he or she is still attempting to argue the case [88]. Unless the user clearly states an understanding of and agreement to follow the Wikipedia policies on Consensus, Dispute resolution, and Edit warring (WP:CONSWP:DISPUTE and WP:EDITWAR) I think a block (or the 1RR restriction) are necessary. Meters (talk) 03:51, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- Why would I not continue to argue the case at Talk:English people? The issue hasn't been resolved and never was resolved. Weeks went by with users not replying to my discussion on the talk page, so no consensus has ever been reached. The fact you find issue with this is bizarre. You are another example of a user in that dispute who thinks they can just win the argument by leaving the discussion entirely, and then only return when the revision they oppose is made again and attack a user for doing such because there is 'no consensus'. Sorry, it doesn't work that way, though this type of stonewalling is sadly common on here. You must continue in the discussion, not simply leave because the current revision suits you. Neither you, or User:Doug Weller, or User:Matt Lunker can make a valid argument against listing baseball as an invention by English people. You simply do not like it. That's not good enough. To advocate for an unjustified block is simply more proof you are using this to your advantage to limit my editing privileges. It's not going to work. I only recently reverted a few days ago at that article because no one had replied to my discussion for weeks. I had valid reason to restore my edit, considering others disappeared. ANI is not a place to silence dissenting viewpoints by blocking users you disagree with. Human Taxonomist (talk) 04:37, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- It's getting difficult to WP:AGF here. I was not part of the earlier discussion, so I am certainly not "another example of a user in that dispute who thinks they can just win the argument by leaving the discussion entirely, and then only return when the revision they oppose is made again". That's a completely baseless accusation. A full four weeks after user:Matt Lunker and user:Doug Weller posted about the issue on Talk:English people you restarted the discussion there with [89] Mutt Lunker replied to you a few hours later, again disagreeing with your analysis, and suggested keeping restarting in the discussion on Talk:Origins of baseball[90]. Instead you dismissed the discussion on the other talk page [91] "In any case, it is the article here where the edit conflict is" and stated that "If no one replies or continues to explain why they oppose my edits, then as per WP I can return my original edit" [92] Nice trick that..reopen a discussion on one page four weeks after the fact, and one in which you had never participated, and claim that since no-one was responding on a different page thread, which you dismissed, you were justified in reverting again. You can't have it both ways. I saw that and responded mere minutes later to agree with the removal and to point out that you did not have consensus [93]. You restored it while I was making my I response, but it is not true that you had "only recently reverted a few days ago at that article because no one had replied to my discussion for weeks" since Matt Lunker had responded. By the time you reverted the final time you had responded to my posts, so you clearly knew that there was an additional editor contesting your edit. You either do not understand the policies I pointed out, or you refuse to accept them. Your response has only confirmed to me that a block is needed. Meters (talk) 05:35, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- Nice try, but I posted a major reply at Talk:Origins of baseball on December 4th, as can be seen here [94]. No one replied again until December 31st, and only after I started up discussion again and made edits at English people and Talk:English people on December 30th. I waited patiently, like I said previously, for nearly 4 weeks. Other editors, including yourself, only became involved again when I made changes to English people and the talk page there. The original course of action was to discuss the issue at Talk:Origins of baseball, but no one was responding there for weeks. Leaving a discussion like that is not a consensus or conflict resolution. The fact you all only became involved again once I made edits at English people is strong evidence you, Doug Weller and especially Matt Lunker were stonewalling, as is your complete disregard to come to a compromise. That is not acceptable, and neither is this new attempt to stifle discussion by a ridiculous move to suppress my editing privileges. You, Doug Weller and Matt Lunker were clearly active on Wikipedia throughout December, so why not reply to my discussion? Why all of a sudden take the time to edit only when I restored my preferred revision? It's not going to work, and nothing here merits a block. As for WP:AGF, I'm pretty sure stonewalling behaviour is not acting in good faith. Human Taxonomist (talk) 05:59, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

You restored it while I was making my I response, but it is not true that you had "only recently reverted a few days ago at that article because no one had replied to my discussion for weeks" since Matt Lunker had responded. By the time you reverted the final time you had responded to my posts, so you clearly knew that there was an additional editor contesting your edit. You either do not understand the policies I pointed out, or you refuse to accept them. Your response has only confirmed to me that a block is needed. Meters (talk) 05:35, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- Why would I not continue to argue the case at Talk:English people? The issue hasn't been resolved and never was resolved. Weeks went by with users not replying to my discussion on the talk page, so no consensus has ever been reached. The fact you find issue with this is bizarre. You are another example of a user in that dispute who thinks they can just win the argument by leaving the discussion entirely, and then only return when the revision they oppose is made again and attack a user for doing such because there is 'no consensus'. Sorry, it doesn't work that way, though this type of stonewalling is sadly common on here. You must continue in the discussion, not simply leave because the current revision suits you. Neither you, or User:Doug Weller, or User:Matt Lunker can make a valid argument against listing baseball as an invention by English people. You simply do not like it. That's not good enough. To advocate for an unjustified block is simply more proof you are using this to your advantage to limit my editing privileges. It's not going to work. I only recently reverted a few days ago at that article because no one had replied to my discussion for weeks. I had valid reason to restore my edit, considering others disappeared. ANI is not a place to silence dissenting viewpoints by blocking users you disagree with. Human Taxonomist (talk) 04:37, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- I was only involved in the did English people invent baseball question on that article's talk page and on History of baseball, but I would support an edit warring block on that behaviour alone. The user has made the claim that the English invented baseball five times now despite there clearly being no consensus that the material should be included. Note the the fifth time was after I had agreed with the removal and posted to the user on talk:English people[83] and talk:Origins_of_baseball[84]. Human Taxonomist was clearly aware of my objections since he or she replied to both threads [85][86] before making the final revert [87]. I would have thought that a warning would be sufficient since Human Taxonomist is a new editor, but even after ending up at ANI over this he or she is still attempting to argue the case [88]. Unless the user clearly states an understanding of and agreement to follow the Wikipedia policies on Consensus, Dispute resolution, and Edit warring (WP:CONSWP:DISPUTE and WP:EDITWAR) I think a block (or the 1RR restriction) are necessary. Meters (talk) 03:51, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- You, yourself, are guilty of the same behaviour. Thus, you really cannot comment on blocking another user for such. I am not editing anything at Frisians until consensus on the talk page is reached. I would add though that simply dragging on the discussion until you 'get your own way' is not constructive, like what is being done at English people. You need to make an attempt at discussing, in detail, the reasons for your opposition. So far, you have not explained how Ethnologue is somehow not a reliable source (it is), nor how the numbers it states specifically for 'ethnic population' are somehow invalid (your personal disagreement with it is not sufficient for its exclusion). The conflict at Welsh people was successfully resolved, so I do not see why the others can't be. I have been conciliatory to a great deal already, for the sake of compromise. It would be helpful for you to show the same courtesy. Human Taxonomist (talk) 02:50, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- Where do I begin? I have not done anything to merit a block in my opinion. There was, maybe, some 'edit warring' in terms of the revision of one or two articles by myself and User:Sirfurboy at some of these articles. However, WP:3RR was careful not to be breached by either of us. We are, attempting, to compromise on disputes. I sincerely apologize for mistakenly labeling User:Sirfurboy as 'inflammatory' in unwarranted warnings and revisions on my talk page. My intention was to label his edits there as inflammatory, not him personally. In the case of one or two of these disputes, however, I patiently discussed on relevant talk pages and waited for weeks for replies - which often never came until I went on to make edits again. Only then did they come back to (sort of) discuss again - but only to keep their revision in place and remind me "consensus has to be reached" first, but being quite careful to keep their revision in place. It is not my fault if editors just decide to leave instead of making their case of opposition in an edit conflict. User:Doug Weller and User:Matt Lunker, for example, disappeared from the conversation for weeks. How is an issue going to be resolved if they just leave the conversation? Is the policy to 'win' a conflict to simply revise, discuss a bit, then simply leave if the argument is not going your way? You should also be giving a warning to many other users involved here to 'not revert here until consensus is achieved'. Look at what has occurred on many of those articles listed since this unfair "reporting" of me was made: editors like Sirfurboy have just went on themselves to make edits without 'achieving consensus first'. This is hypocritical, and appears to be an attempt by some who disagree with me to stifle my editing privileges. There is no malicious intent here at article disruption, and I try to be careful not to make personal attacks, despite them being labelled at me at times. But I am not perfect, and some users can take any type of 'offence' as a 'personal attack'. The warning made was duly noted, and there is no other example of a 'personal attack' being made. Human Taxonomist (talk) 23:38, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
{od))You may have made the last reply at Talk:Originis of baseball, but you didn't edit there, you edited at English people where I had made the last reply and thus two editors were opposing you there and you ignored us. Again, this is not the place to litigate content and we may need DRN, but yesterday I realised that it probably revolves around the definition of English people given in the article and Human Taxonomists's (note their username) definition. But it doesn't matter who is right, this is a conduct issue. Doug Weller talk 07:48, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- How does any of that justify stonewalling for a month? I discussed on the talk page we agreed to do so on. No one replied for almost a month, and not until I made an edit at English people and its talk page. Then and only then did you continue the discussion. I didn't ignore anyone, you did. None of this is relevant here anyway. Human Taxonomist (talk) 15:34, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- Just to mention in passing that I think the user name Human Taxonomist is gross. Imagine stuffing a human being! It's barbaric! EEng 09:16, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- Lawyering over 3RR, an unwillingess to learn anything or volunteer to change behaviour in any way. We've all seen this before and we know where it leads. @Human Taxonomist: would you accept a voluntary 1RR ban and an agreement to await concensus before taking a rejected edit up again? You can always call a RfC if you feel strongly. -----Snowded TALK 10:24, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- I can't be bother reading the entirety of the above discussion but there is no way commenting at Talk:Origins of baseball and receiving no reply justifies an assumption that there is a consensus to make a change at English people. Frankly I was extremely confused how these were even related until I read the first post. It's ludicrous to expect people at the English people article must be watching the origins of baseball talk page. It doesn't matter whether you are making a change in relation to the origin of baseball in the English people article. If you feel that it's worth having a centralised discussion relating to an issue that will affect 2 articles, this may be okay. But the discussion needs to be properly advertised in both article talk pages (if it's held in one article talk page, then it needs to be advertised in the other). Nil Einne (talk) 11:04, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

- None required. Mutt Lunker (talk) 14:40, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
Okay maybe I shouldn't have commented without a quick look at the details. I see now that there was an old discussion on both the English people talk page, and the Origins of baseball talk page, and that Doug Weller suggested it take place on the Origins of baseball talk page and then they and Human Taxonomist had some brief discussion there. I don't think this was particularly obvious from what Human Taxonomist said but anyway, this only makes a small difference to my view.
Even with Doug Weller's suggestion to take it to the origin talk page, if you felt WP:SILENCE from the lack of response indicated consensus, maybe this justified making a change in the origin article. However once you do make a change, if you get pushback, and these people are willing to talk, worrying too much about why they did not reply earlier is pointless. Maybe they missed your reply or didn't think you meant you intended to make a change, maybe they were waiting to see precisely what the change was to see if they would agree with it.
More importantly, since different issues may arise in each article, it provided little justification for assuming there was consensus in the people article, even given Doug Weller's comment. And if you did make a WP:BOLD change, again if people are willing to talk you should engage and have even less reason to worry too much about why they didn't talk earlier.
I'd further note that since the issues seems to concern the origins of baseball more than it does English people, it makes sense that you should get consensus on what to do on the origins article before worrying too much about the people article. Maybe some centralised discussion would be useful but frankly the cross-over is obscure enough that it's probably fine to simply come to a consensus on the origins article. And later if you feel that consensus justifies some change in the history article, to bring a discussion to the people talk page where the specific issues unique to the people article (like WP:UNDUE) can be considered.

- Aragonese people on a relationship by genetics issue (just starting there) is listed as one of the disputes above. Checking the edit history, it looks fairly clear this is actually the longest running dispute and that the user is the same as the IP users in that dispute. Jotamar (talk · contribs) may wish to comment here. The IP editor is pushing for the exact same changes and in the same way (repeatedly reverting before discussion has reached consensus). -- Sirfurboy (talk) 18:35, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

- Frankly, there is no need for any restriction. I am being unfairly targeted. Since I last commented here, User:Sirfurboy has reverted - again - without reaching a consensus with me first at some articles we disagree on (see [95] [96]). Unilateral editing and reverting without consensus is apparently ok for him (or her), but not the rest of us. This person is in no position to comment here, and is now trolling all my edits. Someone should be giving this user the same warnings. In any case, whatever edit disputes between us, I think we can resolve. User:Mutt Lunker is guilty of stonewalling until he keeps the version of the article he wants, so his opinion is also irrelevant here. I've heeded User:Doug Weller's advice and decided to drop what was happening at English people. If you want to place a temporary WP:1RR on me for a specified time frame, then fine, but this got really out of hand, for no reason, mostly because of editors trying to silence a dissenting viewpoint.

- Elaborate on my purported stonewalling. Unless and until you have consensus for your views at the baseball origins article itself, there can be no inclusion of them elsewhere. That you stand alone regarding your content and your behaviour ought to indicate something to you. Mutt Lunker (talk) 15:12, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- I already explained further above. You and other editors disappeared for the month of December without replying to the discussion at Talk:Origins of baseball, after my last reply there on December 4th. No one replied to me until I edited again at English people and the talk section there on December 30th and 31st. Am I required to seek you and others out on your talk pages just to get you to reply? The nature of your brief replies and comments was also deliberately obstinate, without an attempt to come to a resolution. In any case, I've dropped it.

Also, does 1RR mean no more than 1 revert per article for a 24 hour period, or only 1 edit in general?

This worries me. He writes above "Well as per WP, you have to continue in the discussion until there is a resolution. If not, then eventually my revision is approved." I've o idea what this means other than perhaps unless he agrees to some resolution he gets to edit as he pleases. It's also more and more obvious looking at Talk:English people that he has little understanding of the need for sources and is using his own analysis, ie original research, to back his edits.

I am somewhat concerned about some threatening messages that have been appearing on my talk page by Kudpung. He has just messaged me to state that he has been “researching” me for the last two hours. I have tried to disengage with this editor, but I am concerned he may be trying to “out” me, or is engaging in some sort of harassment. If an uninvolved admin could please assist, it would be appreciated. I would prefer not to be intimidated, which is what this feels may be an attempt at. Thank you :-) - Chris.sherlock (talk) 07:04, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, my curiosity was indeed kindled by some recent comments of yours so I looked up who you are which I'm perfectly free to do. It led me onto an interesting trail to say the least - one which I certainly wasn't expecting - but I haven't accused you of anything and I don't know how you could possibly be outed considering that among all your other accounts you claim this one to be your real name. I have better things to do than harass anyone, but if there is something in your recent past that embarrasses you, unless it is a breach of policy, I'm hardly the person to pursue an agenda as you have seen. You haven't exactly tried to disengage though. Quite to the contrary, you have constantly complained so much about my competency as an admin that I tried to end the animosity with a quotation from the bible. And that's all I really have to say unless Chris troutman would like to chime in. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 07:30, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

There was a lot of bad faith shown by Kudpung (including references to suicide) towards both this user and others in a policy discussion prior to this. Chris walked away from it and I closed it - I'd link to it but am on a mobile phone. Honestly think Kudpung should be counselled that he is talking to real people and should back down now from such behaviour. Orderinchaos 08:31, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

- We live in the same country (around as far apart as London and Moscow, or Miami and Los Angeles). We have met once in person. We both are long-term editors. That's kind of as ridiculous as saying two Americans or two Brits in the same situation have a conflict of interest, and it's a long bow to draw. Personally, I have a strong sense of justice and I tend to jump in when it is manifestly violated, or when common sense doesn't seem all that common and I think I can help. And for the record, I didn't even hear about this from Chris - the matter has been discussed by unrelated people (not even in the same country as either of us) in a public forum elsewhere.

- Gotta go with Newyorkbrad on this. I respect Kudpung a great deal for the work he is done, but I think he has gotten carried away here. If there are problems with Chris.sherlock's editing, Kudpung should file a report at the appropriate notice board. And we really should not go about "investigating" one another beyond filing at the appropriate notice board.-- Deepfriedokra 09:23, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- I’m happy with this if I can be reassured that I am not going to get “outed” in any way. I also do t appreciate having the Bible quotes to me in disputes, but I guess that’s another point entirely. I ha e been told that he has found some material on me, and I’m absolutely certain he was saying it to threaten me. What will the WNF be doing about threats, out of interest?
- For the record, there is no problem with my editing and no substantial claims have been brought to my attention by anyone, other than me criticising K for his behaviour when tagging articles. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 09:46, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
For the record, I would like to understand what Kudpung meant by the fact he spent two hours “researching” me. I would like to know, in private, what he found and what he intends to do with this information. I would also like to know why he is sending me messages stating he is digging into me. Is he digging into my life outside of the wiki? Is his information accurate? Will I be slandered? Will he find something embarrassing and use it against me in public? What was the purpose behind telling me he is deeply researching my life? Why does he think that is acceptable?
In particular, I would like to know how an admin, who is held to a higher standard, is allowed to post threatening messages that makes me fear for my safety on my talk page. And I genuinely do fear for my safety, and my family’s safety for that matter. I am not expecting these genuine concerns to be swept undervthe rug by a person related to the WMF, and I do expect my concerns to be taken seriously. Furthermore, I don’t expect I should need to directly engage with the person I feel is threatening me. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 10:21, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- It's much simpler than you think. There was some kind of disagreement that I have not seen. Then you mentioned your previous accounts at Kudpung's talk and naturally he looked at their interesting history. Kudpung has no intention of revealing anything personal about you—there are no threats or intimidation. Please accept that someone with an interesting background is going to attract heightened interest. That's all. I had totally forgotten that I had commented at a discussion regarding you and I discovered that after spending a bit of time "researching" some background mentioned above. It's what wiki-addicts do and it does not mean anything bad. Johnuniq (talk) 10:33, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- He actually didn’t say that. He was quite vague. He actually demanded I disclose who I was, so I did. All of this is in the open. I still want reassurance as to what he found. He quoted the Bible to me. This is not normal behaviour and I have had no reassurance whatsoever that his unhinged two hours of research (which he failed to specify was on-wiki or off-wiki) found scurrilous information, and what he intends to do with this. It is absolutely not normal behaviour to announce to another editor you are extensively researching them. It is absolutely not acceptable from an admin. Until I have a reassurance or clarification as to what the nature of his investigation was, I feel I am being personally threatened. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 10:42, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
Kudpung's message is clearly intended to have a chilling effect upon Chris, and it appears to have worked. The community here should clearly and unambiguously censure Kudpung for this behavior. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 16:34, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: I too think it is a rather cryptic message to receive from an administrator. Kudpung should be advised that having the power of an administrator, comes with a responsibility to protect the editors and the encyclopedia. Being vague and cryptic regarding an editor is not great behavior. I have seen Kudpung do great work. This is hopefully an aberration. Wm335td (talk) 16:50, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- Ye gods. Chris.sherlock jumped into that discussion with hyperbolic posturing, immediately tanking the light/heat ratio and having a grand time condescending to Kudpung (to the extent that I also wondered whether he had some special axe to grind; no wonder Kudpung went digging). The Ideal Equanimous Admin, whom I'm sure we have on ice somewhere, would have ignored that; Kudpung caved in after half a dozen prods and postured back a little, which was unwise. Discussion was closed. Trouts all round. Now we are here for a rematch because Chris.sherlock feels "threatened"? This is just drama for drama's sake. --Elmidae(talk · contribs) 17:02, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- Last night my anxiety went off the scale. I have severe PTSD, which I am getting help with. This causes me extreme anxiety at times. When Kudpung said that he was extensively researching me, I had been being peppered with messages on my talk page. I had attempted to disengage last night, and tried to respond in a way that tried to deescalate the situation. I got repeated messages after I had explained to him, quite civilly I feel, that his actions in misusing PROD (he claims something is not notable but makes no attempt to see if the article is notable or not beforehand - he has admitted this!) were inappropriate. He got quite irate that I felt he wasn’t following the spirit of WP:PROD. Indeed, when I pointed out the general procedure - which virtually everyone has agreed he didn’t follow - he accused me of wikilawyering. He was already implying he was investigating me before the thread was closed.
- After the thread in question was closed, I received the following message,
- ” I won't be, unless you give me cause to. However, your comments at WT:NPR rather surprised me because your past, 'might' not be quite as illustrious as others may be led to believe. Indeed, my question to the NPP community was to deliberately AGF on one person's editing in 'very good standing' , without opening any old wounds. Either you are not aware of them or are choosing not to be.”
- At this point I realised he may have started to fixate on me. I tried a neutral response, which clearly enraged him even more. Despite me trying to end the conversation, he wrote:
- ” You certainly have an unusual manner of expressing yourself for someone with your history. There's a lot 2 hours of research turns up.”
- At this point, I realised he had fixated on me. Not only did he state to me that he spent two hours “researching” me, he implied he had “turned up” something. Personally, I doubt he “turned up” anything that is not already known, but I was extremely concerned when he started quoting the Bible to me. In particular we quoted John 8:7 “he that is without sin, let him cast the first stone”.
- Is this normal behaviour? I don’t think so. He claims he has done extensive research on me, for hours. He implies I have sinned. Taken together, I realised he was trying to intimidate me and was implying that he was going to reveal something. Now I doubt he has anything he can reveal, but he could also have “found” something that wasn’t true. He has many fans and admirers who might take this at face value. It was a threat and an attempt to intimidate me. Last night I had nightmares. I worry about the fallout for my family.
- What did I do? Firstly, I called him on it on my talk page that I felt intimidated. Secondly, I brought this to AN/I to be reviewed and ask for assistance. I have had no further interactions with him. This is good, but the implications that he had “dirt” on me and had been stalking me for hours - which he was gleeful telling me in my talk page - along with an unhinged attempt at referencing the Bible (!), by an influential admin who seemed fixated on me genuinely made and makes me feel threatened.
- Now you can dismiss this if you like. Personally, I think this is harmful and shows a lack of empathy. But what I will say, whether you believe it or not, is that I was genuinely frightened for my safety. I actually reached out to the WMF channels because I was so concerned. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 20:03, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- You lorded it over Kudpung until he lashed back, so I'm not inclined to exonerate you on terms of "empathy". No comment on the PTSD, as I don't know you; I guess it's one of the hazards that admins in particular should be aware of when throwing their weight around, so no excuses there. Regardless, I would expect you to realize that the "biblical quote" is merely a common way of phrasing the sentiment that people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. He's not telling you that you have sinned, that thou shalt be smitten for eating crustaceans on the Sabbath, or anything else that would imply "unhinged" behaviour. This assumption at least strikes me as disingenous and drama-mongering and makes me suspect that you are hamming it up to some degree. - Unfortunately lashing back is far less permissible in an admin and he leaned pretty far out of the window doing it, so now shit's blown up (and everybody is taking the opportunity to get various other hooks in). High fives all round. --Elmidae(talk · contribs) 21:30, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- Not sure where I “Lorded” anything over Kupung. If that was the perception, then I apologise. He was telling people it wasn’t his “job” to check for notability before tagging articles, so I felt something needed to be said. He also made unfounded accusations that another admin was misusing their tools at the same time. I am not an admin. In context, the Biblical quite seemed like “you’re a sinner, watch out or I’ll expose you because I’ve been researching your transgressions for the last two hours. Extensively.” I have never, inicidentally, heard of any admin who resorted to the Bible to “deescalate” a situation.

- For what it's worth, DuncanHill, I happen to agree with you that references to (and even direct quotes from) the Bible are so embedded in the English language that a user who wishes said references not be used in conversation with them may have a difficult time achieving that expectation on Wikipedia. Given the size and nature of the project, one often finds themself interacting with editors for the first time, and there's no easy for an editor to convey such a preference up-front; furthermore, one interacts with so many people from day to day that even if someone has expressed this preference to them, they might have difficulty remembering the preference if they don't interact with the user particularly frequently. But if an editor has just stated in conversation with you that they find it unnerving to have the Bible quoted at them, why on earth would you deliberately do so in your reply, as you have above? I gather that you two have butted heads before, but regardless of your past interactions, it seems intentionally rude. It's easily avoided—after all, Wikipedians tend to be well-practiced at paraphrasing. GorillaWarfare(talk) 01:06, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- The point I was trying to make above was how bloody difficult it is to use English under a fatwah against Biblical language. I was going to quote Kipling's "The Gods of the Copybook Headings" elsewhere in this thread, but Kipling quotes the Bible in the bit I wanted, so apparently I can't.

I'm half tempted to bring this to arbcom. This is beyond the pale --Guerillero Parlez Moi 17:02, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
As a non-admin, I am appalled not only at seeing this example of very creepy and threatening behavior towards Chris (someone I apparently worked with for years and respect), but even more appalled to see any admin encouraging that we overlook this kind of behavior from an admin or ask Chris to avoid an admin who launched his own investigation to intimidate. With The ed17 (is that a first?) and Guerillero-- straight to Arbcom. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:06, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- A quick look at Chris' mainspace contributions shows he is clearly here to write an encyclopedia, and I know Missvain definitely is. Kudpung's repeated spamming of Missvain's talk page (that seemed to kick this dispute off) seems rather out of character. I have occasionally seen these lapses in judgements (eg: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kelly's of Cornwall) which does raise cause for concern. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:46, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- The comments by Kudpung on multiple spaces are clearly meant to intimidate chris sherlock and missvain -- and its not a the first time that he has shown undue attention on an editor "discovered" through his work on New Page Patrol or participating in conversations where someone disagrees. Sadads (talk) 18:02, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- I believe that this should go to ArbCom as well. You can get a good sampling of the concerns related to Kudpung in the guides listed off Template:ACE2019 as well as some of the questions that I asked [99]. --Rschen7754 19:39, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- Apart from the PRODspamming of Missvain's articles, I'm more concerned that Kudpung doesn't actually understand what PROD is actually for (let's just be clear - "PROD must only be used if no opposition to the deletion is expected." (i.e. the deletion is uncontroversial). This isn't a PROD. Nor is this. Or this. Or, indeed, this. Yet he PRODded all of those, created by Missvain, in the space of a few hours. Don't get me wrong - I'm not 100% convinced they're all completely notable, especially the last pair - but regardless they're certainly not PRODs and AfD would have been the the venue if indeed there was an issue. So that's either incompetence or harassment. If Kudpung isn't capable of understanding notabililty, he shouldn't be doing NPP. And given this issue and the one above, ArbCom might well want to take a look at what's he's doing. Black Kite (talk) 20:05, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- Uh - am I missing something here? Some user talk pages were deleted out of process when a user vanished, now that user is back under yet another name and the old talk pages have not been restored.

- I would need a reassurance that any stalking will stop, and I would need to know what Kudpung’s “research” uncovered (communicated to me in private), along with reassurance that it is not inappropriately disclosed. I would also need reassurance he knows how inappropriate that behaviour is and further undertakings he doesn’t continue this sort of behaviour in future. - Chris.sherlock (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:22, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

- This is unambiguously inappropriate, and frankly I am surprised that Kudpung has done this. Chris' identity was not a secret, plenty of us know his history, and even if what he was doing was wrong (which I don't think it was), Kudpung's commentary is downright sinister.

- Reminds me of a strange, vaguely threatening message Kudpung left me last year (User_talk:Ajraddatz#Harassment) when we disagreed on something Signpost-related. If this is type of behaviour is continuing with other users going forward, perhaps some actions should be taken, starting with a warning and clear message that this is not an appropriate method of collaboration. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 00:48, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

- You did the opposite of trying to disengage. You kept commenting about his "inappropriate behavior" over and over in that thread, as if you wanted him to 'repent' or something. I spent over an hour writing responses to your comments trying to defuse the situation. You eventually harangued him to the point that he snapped back. He responded vaguely, which was unwise; fine. The discussion was closed. Let it go. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here)(click me!) 02:56, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- FWIW, thank you for doing so. I did observe you mediating and your level headed ness was appreciated. For my part, I only highlighted that I didn’t think Kudpung was following the spirit of PROD and I didn’t feel it was reasonable to vaguely state an admin was misusing tools - when in fact that was not the case at any point. I do think I need to clarify that I never stated that at any point I ever saw Kudpung making inappropriate use of his admin privileges. I’m sure he does good admin work and seems to take clearing backlogs seriously. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 03:31, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

- Comment, It would certainly make me uncomfortable if an administrator told me that they were investigating me and insinuated that they had something on me. Maybe Kudpung can avoid sanctions by just replying that they received the message and will avoid this type of behavior. Ahiroy (talk) 00:27, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- I'm sure that a bunch of us have sometimes looked into an editor for a variety of reasons. If we uncover stuff that we feel warrants action, we compile the diffs and bring an appropriate case somewhere. If we don't and perhaps we didn't think we would because it was just for personal interest, we do our best to ensure whatever we uncovered doesn't affect the way we deal with the editor in a negative way. I don't think we can or should be attempt to regulate what people choose to do privately when they aren't planning to misuse it either here on Wikipedia or off-wikipedia. But I have no idea why any editor would think it a good idea to leave such a vague comment to another editor except as some sort of threat or attempt to intimidate and Kudpung has provided no other coherent explanation.

There has been edit-warring across these four articles for the last month at least, maybe longer. It consists of removing sources and sourced content which is uncomplimentary to these political groups, in describing them as far-right. I can see no plausible challenge to that content. There has been some talk: discussion, but I harldy see this as serious: Talk:Solidarity – The Union for British Workers#Formed by the BNP?

- The tendentious editing is much more of an issue. I gave them level 3 disruption and 3RR warnings, and if the contested edit at National Liberal Party (UK, 1999) (edit talk history protect delete links watch logs views) is repeated I would say that justifies a block under the "limit not an entitlement" provision of 3RR.

The IP jumped from Halifax Transit to the above article after Halifax Transit was protected. As I mentioned at Talk:Halifax Transit, this person keeps adding a section titled "Future Transit System". The content of this list originally constituted a hoax list of bus routes. On December 25, 2019, User:Debdeb18 re-added the list, but with different content. On January 4, 2020, the IP-hopper added the same list with this "new" content. Hence, I suspect Debdeb18 is the IP-hopper. The random list of bus routes added on the ferry article is the same as the hoax version of "Future Transit System". Ben MacLeod (talk) 01:12, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

- (Non-administrator comment) (ec) I reviewed the rest of their edits and fixed a couple more. They've now been almost universally reverted (one question (Talk:Masked Singer#Title) is pending for other editors, where they may have gotten something right). Many of the edits were wrong and self-reverted quickly, as though they were editing tests, though they were obviously/intentionally wrong and would be a problem if they had not been reverted (e.g. Special:Diff/908140651). This one was wrong for 5+ months until I fixed it. Not a big deal, really, but they haven't responded to template warnings on talk and don't seem to be able to contribute anything useful. —[AlanM1(talk)]— 04:31, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

JMyrleFuller pattern of unsourced and WP:CBALL edits
- JMyrleFuller (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
Repeated addition of unsourced content and WP:CBALL edits. [102], [103], [104], [105], [106], [107], [108], [109], [110] Multiple warnings on talk page to stop disruptive edits. This pattern of behavior has been exhibited over several years despite multiple warnings to stop. User continues to make multiple unsourced edits per day, even admitting on own talk page that he is editing without including WP:V sources. [111], 02:29, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- If you examine my entire edit history, you will note that the vast majority of my edits indeed include sources, and none have been intended to be disruptive. Furthermore, I have had multiple scuffles with my accuser over some edits even when I include sources, and many of the accusations of WP:CBALL are in fact not WP:CBALL, a point I have mentioned multiple times. The accuser's behavior is bordering on harassment, especially since I have not engaged with the accuser on anything in months (his accusation that I am "editing without including WP:V sources" comes from a conversation to which he was never even a party on an article that, to the best of my knowledge, he doesn't even edit). There are certain articles I won't even touch anymore because I know the accuser will revert them. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 02:41, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- And furthermore, the vast majority of the edits I make that are unsourced are simply rephrasings, trimmings to cut excess detail and copy-editing with no new material. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 02:45, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- The user has made multiple edits today adding unsourced content ([112], [113], adding unsourced draft rules/unsourced detail that someting "had never been attempted", [114]) and has included personal comments in WP:COMMENT text ([115], [116]). This user continues to make unsourced edits after many years of warnings to stop the disruptive behavior. This is a long-term pattern of behavior that is unlikely to stop without admin intervention. AldezD (talk) 03:00, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- It is the accuser who requires administrator intervention because said person is the only person who has shown any persistent pattern of objection to my editing. Just minutes ago, he reverted an edit where I removed a small piece of unsourced content the accuser would have not known about had he not been stalking my contribution page. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 03:09, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- I will also note that whenever called out on his behavior by other users, the accuser simply blanks his talk page without discussion. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 03:16, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- This edit by me removed again your own unsourced ("since AccuWeather no longer promotes it") WP:OPINION WP:CBALL ("we don't know if it is ever going to be defunct") information placed in a MOS:COMMENT that you had already edited a second time (" I wouldn't say that it's soon to be defunct, since no one has any idea if it will ever be shut down"). This user continues to edit disruptively and will continue without administrator intervention. AldezD (talk) 03:20, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- I do not think that you understand what the meaning of "disruptive" is. That comment was an explanation as to why it was wrong to use that word when no such source supported it and why my choice of word was more appropriate. If you find that disruptive, I'm afraid your standards are impossibly difficult. Are there times where I may resort to making an unsourced edit? Yes, but usually that is only when a change in the facts is made so quietly and unnoticed that it is difficult to cite a hard source as to when or how it happened. In such cases, I do everything in my power to try and prove that what I type is true. You are making it sound as if I'm running around Wikipedia vandalizing things. Certainly not! J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 06:32, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

And administrators, can we please have someone resolve this dispute in short order? I really have no interest in bickering on the Internet. It's been years already with this guy and I'd like a resolution, please. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 06:32, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- Well I'm not an admin, but whatever else, I think part of the resolution has to be that you stop being so loose in adding unsourced content. In particular following the Wikipedia:Verifiability policy that says
Even if you try to argue in some of the cases it was reasonable to think it was unlikely to be challenged, I do not understand how an experienced editor can think it's acceptable to change sourced info so it no longer matches the source as you did here [117][118]. Find a new source or at least remove the existing source or tag it to indicate it doesn't match the source. Note that although the current version of the source does include a new figure, your edit summaries strongly suggests that it did not at the time and indeed it did not even 4 days later [119]. You should never assume a source is going to be updated (and frankly if that source is regularly updated we should be relying on archived versions anyway). And if you are going to create a problem for others to fix by adding unsourced content, you should let them know you are doing so by not misleading them into thinking the content is sourced, when it is notAll material in Wikipedia mainspace, including everything in articles, lists and captions, must be verifiable. All quotations, and any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged, must include an inline citation that directly supports the material.
andas in fact the source doesn't match the content. (It's no good for readers either.) Nil Einne (talk) 09:07, 8 January 2020 (UTC) 16:03, 8 January 2020 (UTC)- @Nil Einne: That's a fair enough criticism. There are times where I have edited first and added the sources later. I can easily work to avoid that in the future. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 16:51, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
User forcing edits through
The user 37.228.244.187 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is forcing their edits through on the Mechwarrior 2 article, more specifically they're trying to insert links to a fansite and a discord site, despite being told that these are not appropriate per WP:ELNO. Eik Corell (talk) 16:24, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- The IP made the actually-correct point that the other external links there were rather comparable - as those other links have *also* been removed now, we shall see if the disagreement goes away. If not, the IP has been adequately warned for spam links, and will be blocked. ~ mazca talk 20:23, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- The only communication with this editor before starting this discussion appears to have been a few words in a couple of edit summaries, with nothing on the article talk page or the user talk page, so "despite being told that these are not appropriate per WP:ELNO" seems to be stretching the truth a bit. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:31, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- Yeah I guess I'm in the habit of assuming people look at edit summaries/histories, which may not be the case with new users. Regardless, the user has replied on to messages on their talk page so I'll take it there. Eik Corell (talk) 21:21, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Competency issue with CheatCodes4ever
Indefinitely blocked by Ad Orientem for multiple issues discussed here, and socking. (Non-admin close.) Jusdafax (talk) 01:25, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
|
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I have a significant concern that User:CheatCodes4ever is not competent and should be blocked. This user has been around for two years - originally under a different username, which they abandoned because they "...had all sorts of troubles with it". They have been editing as CheatCodes4ever since October. Their talk page is a sea of warnings, deletion notices and attempts by a variety of editors to guide and help them. They continually create articles about clearly non-notable subjects, without proper sourcing. A few examples: Draft:Drake(Bart Baker song), Draft:Tom Thum, Theme music from Peppa Pig, Draft:So Fresh: The Hits of Summer 2017 + The Best of 2016, Bing Bong Christmas, Draft:Jessie Paege and the genuinely ridiculous Peppa Pig (British singer and rapper) (deleted). There are dozens more, many already deleted.
Huge amounts of time and effort have been put into trying to help this editor understand the key concepts of notability and reliable sources, by many editors. Yet they have failed to grasp even the basics of these core policies, as evidenced by the recently-created Angela (character). This article is currently at AfD and their comment at the discussion is illuminating, given the problematic sourcing and lack of notability of the subject: [120]. After two years of heavy editing, and repeated coaching by dozens of experienced editors it is reasonable to expect that CheatCodes4ever would understand these concepts; clearly they do not.
The energy sucked up in dealing with this user is an unnecessary distraction for many editors, and the damage they continue to cause to Wikipedia is significant. As @Robvanvee: noted two days ago "We are going to end up at ANI very soon at this rate. Your aversion to sourcing is highly disruptive". I'd like to call out the very significant work Robvanvee has done to try to help CheatCodes4ever, without success. Almost certainly this is a younger user, given the subject matter involved, but enormous reservoirs of WP:AGF have been drained. I don't think this user is competent enough to continue editing. Thanks, The Mirror Cracked (talk) 17:45, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
- In this diff, CheatCodes4ever says the previous account was Money12122 (talk·contribs). NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 18:01, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, that's the previous account (CheatCodes4ever also edited Money12122's talk page: [121] and there is meaningful editing overlap between them). I had avoided naming the previous account here to avoid any possibility of outing them, in an overabundance of caution. The Mirror Cracked (talk) 19:18, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
- Weak support Regrettably, I have to agree with Mirror here. I had actually contemplated reporting CheatCodes here for competency earlier this month after running across some of their drafts. While they seem to be trying, they are just not getting it, despite many folks attempts to explain how Wikipedia works. However, the recent thread on their talk, User talk:CheatCodes4ever#I'm retiring gives me slight pause. If they are retiring, perhaps a block is unnecessary. Or, if they are willing to step away from drafts and just work on articles, they may be able to learn the ropes. Drafts are a very difficult place for folks to edit, and many people who are bad at drafts do perfectly well at editing in other places. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 19:41, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks, CaptainEek. I too had seen their stated intention to retire, and like you I thought that could be the best outcome. Unfortunately, they decided the rescind their retirement on the same day: (note the edit summary) and continued on editing. They have been asked multiple times to stop creating Drafts, and like almost all the other advice they've received, they haven't been able to take that on board. The Mirror Cracked (talk) 20:08, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
- Their unretirement is not surprising, given that they created this account less than two hours after rage-quitting at their previous account. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ --Kinu t/c 20:58, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
- Endorse block. I ran across this editor after their creation of Peppa Pig (British singer and rapper), which also led to finding this ridiculous edit. Despite other editors' efforts, this appears to be a WP:CIR issue. The article Angela (character) and draft Draft:Jessie Paege are indicative of the typical non-viable content created by this editor. Despite other editors' efforts to educate this user on policies and guidelines, this seems like a time sink, and allowing them to continue to edit seems like a net negative to the project. Even if a block is not the ultimate result of this report, preventing this editor from creating content in the Article and Draft namespaces would be the minimum sanction that is appropriate here. --Kinu t/c 20:49, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
Hello, it’s CheatCodes4ever. I would like to have a fresh start and stop making articles that are rejected. I also will not edit Wikipedia without sourcing what I write. I will not make any more articles till I have figured out how to make one for something notable. CheatCodes4ever (talk) 21:24, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
- No – no more new accounts. That would be evading scrutiny. Just stick to this account. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:32, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
- Endorse block and be clear that the block applies to the person, not the account. That's always the case, but I'm concerned, given the above comments about a clean start, that this user won't understand that. --Yamla (talk) 13:11, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
- That's actually the main reason why I'm not certain that blocking is the best idea. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:01, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
- Endorse block As someone who has spent much time trying to help this person, it is very clear to me that they are obsessed with creating new articles (in this case, for want of a better word, as 5-worded poorly sourced stubs hardly constitute articles), perhaps hat collecting and are not interested in learning in any way despite the attempts of several of the above editors. As has been mentioned, I too think this editor fails to grasp the gravity of the situation and may possibly believe creating a new account will refresh the issue so that may also need to be addressed. Robvanvee 13:24, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
- It would appear that previous concerns of this editor creating a new account to have a "fresh start" are legitimate. Could any involved admin see here please. Robvanvee 06:21, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
- I have blocked the IP as an attempt to evade scrutiny (albeit a rather poor one). Per WP:CLEANSTART, the existence of this discussion precludes this user from such a clean start. --Kinu t/c 17:42, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
- It would appear that previous concerns of this editor creating a new account to have a "fresh start" are legitimate. Could any involved admin see here please. Robvanvee 06:21, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
Comment - First of all, when I said have a fresh start, I didn’t mean create a new account. I meant have a fresh start with CheatCodes4ever. Also, I am not using that IP address, that is not me. But I’m retired now, so I guess you don’t care. CheatCodes4ever (talk) 23:50, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
Comment - Also, when I created, Peppa Pig (British singer and rapper), that was not a hoax. Peppa Pig has started a singing career. Maybe I should have created a page for her as a character and mentioned her singing career and discography. I know she is not a real person. I was portraying her as that because it is less confusing (if I am referring to a musical artist). That also should explain by edit on Peppa Pig. CheatCodes4ever (talk) 06:13, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
- Block - a review of the two talk pages show no progress up the learning curve. The above comment shows a complete lack of WP:CLUE. Someone used the term "time sink" above. That fits. He's been around almost two years and still doesn't know to sign messages. John from Idegon (talk) 00:12, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
- Topic ban on any edits besides completing WP:The Wikipedia Adventure or using the helpme template on their user talk page to ask for help with the Wikipedia adventure. After that, topic ban on article space until they make, say, 50 successful edit requests. Violation of the topic ban should result in an immediate indefinite block. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:18, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
- Also open to a three year block Rather than indefinite, I think maybe waiting until they're older might actually sort some things out. Ian.thomson (talk) 02:42, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- Endorse block for minimum 30 days. The editor is back editing again after only a 3-day retirement (and this is after two previous retirements). Upon end of the block, I would support the topic ban suggested by Ian. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 17:20, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
- Topic ban per Ian.thomson; this will both enable the community to establish CC4E's competencies and prevent any major disruption while doing so. Notwithstanding this. ——SN54129 17:23, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
- Topic ban per Ian.Thomson. If this was a brand new editor I would feel differently, but 2 years is enough time to get a handle of the core mechanics of Wikipedia. Per his user page he is only ten years old -- I don't necessarily have a problem with young editors but in some cases an editor lacks the maturity and skill to contribute and their work may require an unnecessarily high level of scrutiny. In this case, the quality of the work is fairly low and the rate of basic mistakes is extremely high, making him a "time sink" as someone above mentioned. There's no sign that the mentoring and support that he has received so far has helped, so I think the next reasonable step is to restrict him from editing and give him time to mature. Michepman (talk) 20:54, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
- Endorse block I am unsure if incompetence per se is a reason for he/she/anyone to be blocked. I stand to be corrected though, as I don’t know for a fact if/not such policy/policies exists or not. I see Robvanvee’s concerns & completely understand his stance/rationale as he rightfully claims this user has been here for over two years & still is finding it hard to carry out very basic things (signing his comments) being the most bizarre & absurd. So I’m inclined to think three things, either this user is an outright troll, a slow learner by default in real life, or imho which I believe may be the issue here & why i’d endorse a block is that this editor may be very very young, emphasis on the “very” “very” it is sad things have to happpen this way seeing as a good number of established competent editors we have today were at some point quite incompetent/&disruptive in their early days. Two years in actuality can be seen as relatively new but unfortunately I can’t comprehend how handling basic responsibilities such as signing your own comments should be difficult for him/her. Celestina007 (talk) 10:47, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- To be honest, I have my doubts as to whether they are as young as they say they are. While their incompetence could be attributed to age, this would suggest that an 8 year old started editing and getting involved with Wikipedia's back pages. At age 8? Even at the claimed age of 10 with all of their failings I still find it hard to believe that these edits and edit summaries are those of a 10 year old. I could be wrong and it may not really matter as competence is competence and I'm seeing very little of it. Robvanvee 19:38, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- And he continues to submit drafts that are very poorly and minimally sourced, wasting reviewers' time. There's no sign of improvement to his editing, although he's not as rude or defensive in responses as he was previously. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 01:28, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- While I pretty much agree, I don't know that it's unlikely that an 8 year old would get interested in editing and the back pages. I was only a little older when I first started using the talk pages. Maybe in a few years they'll have developed greater competence, or maybe a mentor would be interested in taking them on. But otherwise I agree it doesn't seem like their edits are going to improve for the time being. Darthkayak (talk) 01:59, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

Here is more proof that he just does not understand even after everything he has been told, which means these poor drafts will continue to be submitted and will continue to be rejected. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 16:47, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- And yet more, User:CheatCodes4ever/PP2 that was moved from draft and shows a complete lack of understanding of critical content policies. This edit tries to source that an EP is an album to a Spotify page that doesn't describe it as an album. This edit folds an AfD tag into a multiple issues tag. And many more since this thread was opened; CheatCodes4ever continues to create bad articles and edit disruptively, with little or no evidence of any learning. There is clear consensus for action above, for a block and/or @Ian.thomson:'s suggestion of a topic ban. Is it possible for an admin to move this forwards to action? Many thanks, The Mirror Cracked (talk) 16:05, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Endorse block - A lengthy or indef block is called for here, as I see it after reviewing the Talk pages of their two accounts, which, as noted above, show no sign of improvement. The bogus resignations are also a factor. At some point we have to recognize that enough is enough. That point has passed. We need to act now, and move on. Jusdafax (talk) 08:26, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- We really do need this attended to as the disruptive edits continue. It's been 2 weeks since this report was logged. Are we short on admin or are none willing to look into this? Robvanvee 05:19, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- Further evidence of the continuing competence issues as these edits are all within the last 48 hours:
- Submitting yet another draft for review (Draft:Jimmy (Tones and I song) where he fails to demonstrate the topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources.
- Submitting a draft redirect for review for the second time (Draft:Twang (Mason Ramsey EP)) after being told a few days earlier to follow instructions of such requests at Articles for creation/Wizard-Redirects.
- Creating redirects from user pages to the same user's talk page as he did here. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 19:10, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

I read this thread, reviewed their edits, and with MANY people telling them what they need to work on, advising them to stop doing what they are doing, and continuing to make the same edits even with all this, I blocked the editor for NOTHERE, and explained this on their talk page.

Jamez42's repeated block deletions
While there is no consensus for a topic ban, there is enough concern to warrant some restriction on Jamez42's editing in the topic area. My solution is to apply the consensus required restriction on all edits by Jamez42 in the topic area. This means that if they are reverted, they may not re-revert until they gain consensus for their changes on the article talk page. This halfway measure between a topic ban and no action will still allow the user to contribute to the topic area, but with any potential edit warring curtailed. I'm fixing the duration of this restriction to one year, at which point it will automatically lapse. However, the user is free to lodge an appeal of this restriction in no less than three months. As an aside, I'm not sure about the manner in which WikiProject Venezuela leans in the matter of this overacrhing dispute, but this note by Jamez42 was probably the wrong call. I'm not sure I would call it canvassing outright, but it certainly skirts its boundaries. El_C 14:57, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Jamez42 continues to delete large blocks of well-sourced text (2-28-19, 4-11-19, 12-29-19, 12-31-19, 1-6-2020) from United States involvement in regime change and in Latin America to the point of being disruptive. In particular, he keeps deleting material related to the U.S. efforts to support the ouster of Nicholas Maduro by the U.S. in support of Juan Guaidó, using economic sanctions on oil and bank accounts, verbal threats, and the possibility of military intervention which go back to Obama. As you can see, his block deletions have been going on for almost a year since Guaido declared himself President of Venezuela, while the WP:RS is unmistakably clear about the U.S.’s goal of toppling Maduro in favor of Guaido.
He does this despite having participated in this RfC where the closer found:
[T]here is a consensus to add content regarding "United States involvement in regime change" in Venezuela.

- Removal of whole section on Venezuela by Jamez24 either by commenting it out or by wholesale removal
- Jamez42 has been removing the whole section on Venezuela either by commenting it out or by completely removing the text. It is fine to raise problems with the text or make edits to the text. It is *not* fine to simply remove the whole section or make it disappear completely for the ordinary reader by commenting it out. I have had to revert their attempts to effect this disappearance twice. I am asking this editor to follow the Bold, Revert, Discuss process rather than escalate to an edit war.

You really should examine your biases
:I ‘’strongly’’ suggest you stop editing Venezuela articles for a while and look at other parts of how the encyclopedia function. Your edits do introduce a systemic anti-Maduro bias into literally every article you touch.
- By NinjaRobotPirate for edit-warring at Hugo Chavez (predecessor to Maduro) 3-11-19.
- Reply I would also like to ask for a couple of minutes to reply to the section, since I was notified about the section a couple of minutes ago and there's important information being left out. --Jamez42 (talk) 22:09, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- It's difficult to decide between addressing either content or editorial behavior. Since the former has been talked about in depth in articles talk pages, I will talk about the latter. David Tornheim fails to mention that the complete RfC result, which took place in August, said:
There is no consensus to add the proposed text to the article. However, there is a consensus to add content regarding "United States involvement in regime change" in Venezuela, just not in the form proposed.
- Since late December, a week ago, Tornheim has repeatedly attempted to introduce the Venezuela section in the United States involvement in regime change article without discussing said changes despite being asked to. Contrary to my changes, these take place in the span of a week, and not a year. For reference, I'd include a timeline here:
- 16:51, 28 December 2019 (Last stable version, before dispute)
- The Venezuela section in the article date back to the addition by a dynamic IP just days after the start of Venezuela's presidential crisis, a controversial situation and where "United States involvement in regime change", at least during the first days, was debatable.

I'm a bit worried that the section on Venezuela at the end is getting rather inflated due to WP:Recentism. It is now one of the longest (if not the very longest) section in the article, despite not being more noteworthy than eariler more significant events.
- I have stated that it is important to evaluate the extent and the intentions of the involvement in the crisis, and among the concerns and reasons I have cited for my changes, I have quotes original research (WP:OR), neutral point of view (WP:NPOV), undue weight (WP:UNDUE) and Verifiability does not guarantee inclusion (WP:ONUS).
- Whichever it is the case, I have added several changes myself in an attempt to find a common ground or to improve the section, such as including the content in an "Accusations" section (20:48, 30 December 2019), which was an agree version with Oska in the United States involvement in regime change in Latin America article, and including a section focused on 2019 (05:25, 4 January 2020), after discussing and reaching an agreement with Cmonghost.
- When remove sections, I always provide an explanation, usually discussing and commeting about it afterwards
- 09:11, 28 February 2019 (Since this is ongoing and controversial, I'll comment the section so a discussion can be opened regarding if Venezuela should be included or not)
- It should be noted that this it not a removal, but hiding the text

- The only reason why I removed this section, as I have explained to Tornheim before, was because that both Cmonghost and David Tornheim disagreed with its inclusion. I would have kept it otherwisse, like in the United States involvement in regime change in Latin America article.

- 15:29, 6 January 2020 (Summary, pinging editors involved in the RfC)
- Tornheim remains to participate in several of the discussions or acknowledge many of the previous ones, mainly the Stable version section, which is specifically about the explanation of the last changes.
- I am a little confused of why the complaint was filed, since in our last exchanges I felt that the situation had de-escalated and Tornheim started a section on the Neutral point of view noticeboard, meaning that I was expecting further disputes could be resolved in the talk page, with the help of third parties and without needed admin intervention so soon.
- Speaking about content dispute, I want to leave clear that I support including a section on Venezuela about events that happened in 2019, specifically economic sanctions and financement of Guaidó.
- I hope that the situation is not generalized and every case is evaluated individually. As for the rest of the cases mentioned before, not related to the article, I can go into detail into each one of the them, but since the response is long enough already by now I will only cite my response to NinjaRobotPirate to give an example:
Hi. I understand the reason of the message, but I only wanted to mention that I think it was a little too much severity. After my second revert, I pinged the IP in the talk page to start a discussion regarding the recent changes and explained in another section the policies I based my reverts on. I notified them on their talk page as well, but I received no response, which is why I reverted again. The IP blanked their talk page, in which they already had nine warnings for different reasons, and reverted again without providing an explaination or an edit summary, which is why I filed a report on the ANI. In any case I still thank you for the warning and in the future I will take care with my edits in the article. Best wishes

- From what I see here, I’d say David Tornheim makes a strong case for a comprehensive topic ban of Jamez42. The multiple warnings by multiple editors to Jamez42, who appears to have a clear POV against the Maduro Government, have not been effective. Jusdafax (talk) 23:26, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- I have also had concerns about the ability of Jamez42 to comply with NPOV on a range of articles related to left-wing governments in Latin America (not just Venezuela) and have previously raised them). I would suggest the topic ban cover this entire area of politics. Number 57 23:45, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- (edit conflict)
- I'm writing a comprehensive answer to David Tornheim's complaint, but since other users have addressed a topic ban:
- (edit conflict)
- @Number 57: In our discussion about the Center for Economic and Policy Research in the Bolivian general election I apologized that my edits could have resulted disruptive or hasty. You are a well established user and we have worked in articles about elections articles in the past.
- I apologized to Oska too when they pointed out my removal, and I proposed to start an "Accusations" section in the United States involvement in regime change in Latin America, which remains currently.
- I will point out that my main fault is probably being WP:BOLD in Venezuela topics articles, which are inherently controversial, and in turn results in me being WP:RECKLESS. I guess what I'm trying to say is that at the end I really seek to discuss significant changes and not to continue them unless there's a substantial change to it. I addressed and answered to several of the concerns in Tornheim's talk page, where I feared some of the allegations against me ammounted to personal attacks.
- This being said, I think it's important to mention that I've had not as much activity in articles of politics of other Latin American countries, namely Ecuador, Chile, and Bolivia, only of which I think the latter has been when I have had the most disagreements, and not as much as in Venezuela's. If my edit behavior is determined to have been disruptive and if it is needed to be stopped, per WP:PUNITIVE, I'm willing to adopt restrictions that could help with this, including 1RR. If that is considered not to be enough, it can easily be a topic ban on modern Venezuelan politics articles.
- However, I also want to comment on my contributions on articles that include translations and Spanish references, that as I have mentioned in the past, I think are needed in these articles. I would like to continue improving content in the future, but only constructively. I will agree on whichever is the best course of action. --Jamez42 (talk) 00:38, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- I don't know about Jamez42's history. I never interacted with him before. Lately, I saw some.. what should I call it? Gaming the system? or claiming that there is consensus and editwarring?. I do edit war sometimes but I usually have fair arguments but what I see from Jamez seems to be POV edits. About the dispute, there was a dispute about a term that Jamez considered WP:LEBAL when it was obviously not. And the second dispute which I still haven't participate in is about whether the U.S. preventing left-wing governments is a regime change and should it be in the scope of the article. I was also going to join the discussion and possibly link the discussion to Russia involvement in regime change and see how we can solve this all together in both articles as both must be treated equally. However, based on what I am seeing here, I doubt that I wouldn't waste my time while trying to solve this because the other editor might be pushing-POV.--SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 00:00, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- Topic Ban at least Jamez42 is an aggressive POV pusher whose efforts to make sure anything mentioning Venezuela fits American narratives are so aggressive that I literally stopped editing that area of Wikipedia to avoid them. Their comportment has never been stellar and, based on the information above it looks like these bad habits have intensified. While I'd be satisfied to see them topic-banned from articles about Latin American politics, I question if they are a valuable contributor to the project. Simonm223 (talk) 18:39, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- Comment I just thought I'd make a note here about one of the matters I'm involved in above, relating to the "accusations"/"allegations" sections on the regime change articles. Jamez says above that they removed the content about Venezuela in this diff because David Tornheim and I disagreed with its inclusion. But I never said I thought the content should be deleted. I said the content should be moved back to the appropriate location. I've continually expressed concern (on the talk pages of both articles) that moving all the Venezuela content to this new section (which has only ever included Venezuela) serves mainly to cast doubt on the material contained within it, which violates NPOV and isn't what section headings are supposed to be for. I've attempted to fix this ([123]) and have argued against it on the talk pages ([124][125][126], the last of which never received any reply) but was reverted by Jamez42 ([127]) so I basically gave up. But I don't think it should be represented above as if there's a clear consensus for its inclusion. As far as I can tell, David Tornheim and I both oppose it and only Jamez42 is in favour of it. — cmonghost 👻 (talk) 19:25, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- Topic Ban at least A transparently disruptive editor who has no regard for consensus when it goes against his anti-Maduro bias.GPRamirez5 (talk) 23:23, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
-
- Since GPRamirez5 was involved in content dispute of the article as early as of April 2019,
I started a thread on the noticeboard below to document long term abuse by GPRamirez5 against me that dates back to April 2019, including incivility and lack of cooperation. I think this should be weighted by the closing editor when evaluating the result of the thread. - Considering that GPRamirez5 is not providing further details or edit diffs to sustain their accusation, I have serious doubts that this vote was casted in good faith and I find it as a personal attack, taking into account our sour exchanges in the past.
- In no way is this with prejudice of the development of this thread, and I don't want to take away value in any way from sustained and well-supported complaints against my behavior. --Jamez42 (talk) 20:56, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- I have withdrawn my thread in the noticeboard based on the advice of participants. I apologize to any other participant here that believe it was a bad idea to start it. However, I still wish to ask the closing user to weight this history when evaluating the result.
- I'll leave here the interaction timeline between us starting froM February 2018. I hope that it isn't too difficult to browse, considering the few exchanges that we have had. --Jamez42 (talk) 13:25, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

- Oppose That RfC close is nowhere near as clear cut as this report seems to imply. The discussion focused on a specific proposed addition for which no consensus to add was found and Jamez42's concerns about NPOV were specifically noted in the close. Topic ban would be massively premature. And really, some of the people complaining about POV editing probably need to take a look in the mirror. --RaiderAspect (talk) 01:29, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- The RfC close clearly states that there is a consensus to add a Venezuela section to the article, just not the specific version proposed by GPRamirez5. That does not warrant deletion of every single other version of the section. — cmonghost 👻 (talk) 05:04, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- Has any other version of the section had a firm consensus in support? If you've got a version that you and David Tornheim think is satisfactory and Jamez42 doesn't then just cut the Gordian Knot and start another RfC on the specific text. --RaiderAspect (talk) 05:52, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- Let's say this, Jamez42 has his own preferred version (added here and here), a version that leaves out about 90% of the WP:RS that discusses regime change sanctions starting with Obama, the level and intensity of the sanctions, the calling out by Bolton, Pompeo, Trump, et. al. about "all options are on the table", the 2002 issues, etc. The focus on Jamez42's version starts with talking about Guaido, who as you can see above is someone he puts POV favoritism for. I'll give you some examples. If he doesn't get his way, he just deletes EVERYTHING, or he puts it under the "accusations" section which is a POV title that no other editor but Jamez42 supported. See [[128]] (permalink) started by Cmonghost. It needlessly casts doubt on all the WP:RS that states the U.S. is working towards regime change in Venezuela. By doing this, it emphasizes false claims and conspiracy theories rather than valid claims. It may be true that Chavez and Maduro made accusations that have little merit, but we are not in a position to say the WP:RS that speaks to regime change lacks credibility. That's what so many editors find so problematic. That is not consensus building to demand your own version. --David Tornheim (talk) 05:59, 8 January 2020 (UTC) [revised 00:17, 9 January 2020 (UTC) per below]
- Comment @David Tornheim: Not true. I proposed a week before this RfC an "Accusations" section that arguably had even more content and included Chávez's presidency, based on the consensus in the United States involvement in regime change in Latin America article, to be able to also include disputed claims and precisely look for an agreement.

- @RaiderAspect: There's currently no version of the section that has consensus, with possibly the exception of the current one that includes only 2019, but participants of the original RfC have not responded yet. If it helps, and we are to talk strictly about this article, I can offer this timeline:
- Timeline
- 25 January 2019: A dynamic IP included a section about Venezuela, spanning from 2017 to 2019, days after the current presidential crisis started. BobFromBrockley Expressed concern about recentism on 29 January in the talk page. An IP expanded the section further on 6 February [129][130].
- 28 February 2019: Section was removed by an IP [143] and restored afterwards by Pokerplayer513 [144] I hid the section due to the volatibility of the section and the WP:RECENTISM concerns raised.
- 3 April 2019: GPRamirez5, who asked for my topic ban below, added another version of the article about the span of 1998-present based on an opinion article by the Washington Post and removed the sourced previous and hidden version of 2015-present. I removed the section on 11 April with the edit summary of
Support to opposition is not the same as regime change. Possible WP:OR

- 14 April 2019: GPRamirez5 started the Venezuela section in the talk page, which has not been archived and can still be read. Five editors in total, including GPRamirez5 and me, participated in the discussion.
- 16 August 2019: The RfC was closed with the following result:
There is no consensus to add the proposed text to the article. However, there is a consensus to add content regarding "United States involvement in regime change" in Venezuela, just not in the form proposed. An alternative proposal less reliant on Timothy Gill as a source and which was less "POV" (while oppose !voters were not entirely descriptive as to how, precisely, the proposed text was WP:NPOV, Jamez42 suggested there were issues with context in some of the specific incidences described in the proposal), would probably find a consensus. Chetsford (talk) 22:06, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
- It's important to note that there wasn't any further comments or proposals in this period. Only an IP commented on 15 November 2019 in a section about Venezuela saying "
We should add Bolivia to this as well.

The U.S. efforts for regime change in Venezuela intensified in January 2019 with the increase of crippling sanctions, diplomatic pressure, and warnings. Mark Weisenbrot writing for the New Republic said the sanctions (which he considers illegal) are a "plan to starve Venezuela into submission."

- 30 December 2019: David Tornheim started another section about Venezuela in the talk page, now titled Venezuela 2. The discussion has gone back and forth, including in the United States involvement in regime change in Latin America article talk page, has gone way longer than the previous section, and currently has three subsections: Recentism?--redux, Accusations section and Stable version.
- David Tornheim added the 27 Februrary 2019 version section, with the 2015–present title. I responded replacing the section with the Accusations title, which includes disputed claims and effectively includes the span of 2002-present.
- 31 December 2019: After disagreement with the Accusations title was voiced in the talk page, I removed the section to continue discussion on another version. GPRamirez5 restored the section.
- 2 January 2020: David Tornheim did a series of changes to the Accusations section, starting with the removal of the "Accusations" title, effectively merging the section. He continued by restoring his 29 December 2019 version of 2019. Other changes included declarations by US officials, citing the Monroe Doctrine, economic sanctions and Alfred de Zayas' opinion about them, de Zayas' opinion in 2019, a reference on his report, The New York Times opinion about the sanctions goals. I added a NPOV tag and pinged Tornheim to participate in the discussion. My main concern was the scope of the article: which years and events are involvement in regime change, particularly regarding the 2002 Venezuelan coup d'état attempt, where the involvement of the United States has been disputed and is very controversial.
- 4 January 2020: I replaced the section with a version about 2019 that included the United States' recognition of Juan Guaidó as president of Venezuela, reports of funding to Guaidó by the US Agency for International Development and sanctions against Venezuela.
- 6 January 2020: Since there still wasn't an agreement on which version to include, I removed the section once again.
- 7 January 2020: I restored the 2019 version seeing that after 24 hours, none of the pinged users that participated in the RfC responded.
- This timeline does not include details about talk page discussions (some diffs are included above), exchanges or developments in the Latin America article. RaiderAspect, I can start a RfC on the current 2019 section if needed.

Cmonghostreverted you, but rather than use WP:BRD, you tried to force it back in. When the discussion didn't go your way you didn't remove the POV section title of "Accusations", but instead deleted the entire section. That's the problem here.

- He used Spanish Wikipedia to declare Juan Guaido President of Venezuela--despite the fact that WP:RS almost unanimously says the Presidency is disputed. The edit war over this is described here. --David Tornheim (talk) 06:08, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- (From the reply in David Tornheim's talk page:)
--Jamez42 (talk) 03:05, 9 January 2020 (UTC)It is ludicrous that you accuse me of having an agenda by quoting an incident that happened a year ago, not to mention in the Spanish and not the English Wikipedia. If you really want to go into depth: Efecto Cocuyo's article mentions 37 times changes (not reverts) in two hours, of which only five were mine: adding a date and an acronym, adding the category "Presidents of Venezuela", adding the predecessor parameter in the infobox, and adding a numeral. Only the last one was a revert of a user [that] reverted three times three different users and removed referenced content.
Did you get to read the article's version before the edit war? You accuse me of not following WP:RS when at the time the article had a section with five reliable sources supporting the claim, and my revert was precisely to restore the referenced content, not to add unreferenced content or to push for a POV. Did you read the talk page of the article and my afterwards proposals? I wasn't the only editor to believe sources supported the inclusion, after administrators intervened there was a thread afterwards that helped to shape the article.
- He did this again at 2020 Venezuelan National Assembly Delegated Committee election. Rather than following the WP:RS,
- He again used Wikipedia to declare Guaido the winnerhere using WP:OR. Editor Goodposts chided this edit here:
(Undid revision 934471730 by Jamez42 (talk) And it is exactly due to that policy that Guaido cannot be listed as the winner. The sources clearly state that there are two competing claims. It's not Wikipedia's job to verify the integrity of the election, the quorum or to determine the winner. Please see: [147]

- (Non-administrator comment) I'm still going through the links/diffs provided by David, but let me just say that had Jamez42 been a new user, they would've just been slapped with this template. I think when a longstanding user resorts to these kinds of page/section blankings and for this long, it's always a symptom of a larger problem that should the very least be extensively looked into.—Mythdon (talk • contribs) 06:29, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- (Non-administrator comment) Topic Ban - Replying here due to being mentioned and involved in above matters. I believe that Jamez42 is an experienced, competent and passionate editor, however, it is also clear that his passion leads to him leaving a very strong bias in the material he writes. I've encountered him before and was left with the impression he had a pro-Guaido POV (which wouldn't have been an issue, had he not reflected it in the content he created), but I didn't know that he blanked edits as large as these. I don't think that it's a problem that he has a political opinion one way or the other - everyone has biases, knowingly or not. However, his edits have made some articles look more like autobiographies written by Guaido himself, rather than impartial encyclopedic content. He repeatedly reverts content, oftentimes due to claims of Undue weight.
- For example in this - diff
- He goes on to explain his reasoning - ::
(The claims are unequal in legitimacy and recognition, be it internal or external. According to the debate rules, Guaidó need to start the session. There are serious concerns regarding the quorum and Parra did not hold a nominal vote, so the votes in his favor cannot be confirmed. WP:TOOSOON also applies) -Jamez42
- However, as you might have noticed, this is little more than WP:OR - and this is the crux of the issue. Wikipedia ought not to become a battleground for the two sides to argue over legitimacy, it ought to be an impartial encyclopedic repository. Furthermore, edits like these clearly conflict with WP:RS as the BCC Source used in the article clearly reflected the fact that there are two competing claims to the presidency of the assembly. What's worse is that this was not the first time he had reverted that same part of the article in favour of selecting Guaido as the sole winner of the election. We all make mistakes and we all argue for what we believe is right, but this taken into the context of what we've seen so far in my opinion demonstrates the editor's desire to push a POV in the pages he edits. His justification for his actions are based on interpretations, which fall under the category of original research.
- He went on - for example, in This diff on the page for the Assembly itself, he again undid my edit and restored Guaido as the leader of the assembly. His reasoning for this was that the position was only reflective of the majority leadership, and not leadership of the assembly. That would have been a good argument, if not for the fact that the position leadership was hyperlinked directly to the page for the Presidency of the Assembly itself. This is the third time in a row he had undone one of my edits on the dispute and in doing so restored Juan Guaido to a singular position in assembly leadership. Getting reverted is a natural and normal part of being on wikipedia, but dealing with the repeated deletion of cited content without discussion is frustrating and not conductive to good contributions or the assumption of good faith.
- Similar POVs are pushed in other articles relating to Latin America, for example here - where an edit is undone by Jamez42 for citing a primary source, despite the fact that the given primary source is published by the official website of the organization and used only to cite a quoted statement made by the organization tself - a fully acceptible and even encouraged usage per WP:PRIMARYNOTBAD.
- Jamez42's aversion to the topic of US involvement in regime change doesn't apparently include aversion to Russian involvement in regime change - an article he contributed to. There would have been nothing wrong with his edit here, had it had a source (he admits he copied uncited content, complete with the CN tag, in the edit summary), but even if that were so, the fact that he would contribute to one while trying to blank sections of the other is in of itself indicative of a POV.
- All in all, I don't belive that any of his edits indivudally are grounds for action to be taken against him, but all of them taken togeter, in my opinion, represent consistent, systematic POV-pushing, incompatible with proper encyclopedic content. I don't believe he is a bad editor, quite the contrary - some of his work isn't bad at all. However, I do think he should stay away from subjects relating to US Involvement in Regime Change, Venezuelan politics and issues relating to Nicolas Maduro and Juan Guaido, Chavism and their counterparts in Latin America. I don't think that actions taken against him should be punitive, but they should definitely make it clear that Wikipedia is not a battleground for determining the leadership of nations or the merits of this or that political idea. I don't believe that the wholesale blanking of cited sections and revertion of cited content without consensus is something that should be allowed to become a trend within the community. Best regards, Goodposts (talk) 14:44, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- Comment @Goodposts: There are many things that I have to disagree with in this comment, but for the time being I will only address the example of the Russia involvement in regime change article and try to answer the rest in a more general response.
- Let's please avoid a false equivalence. I rarely remove sourced sections entirely, usually resorting to improving its phrasing or adding more sources, and when I do most of the cases my concerns have to do with WP:ONUS. This seems to be a particular problem in the United States involvement in regime change, when the term seems to has been interpreted too broadly and includes a lot of actions by the United States that may not necessarily fit this defintion. I want to avoid mentioning content dispute because this is a noticeboard to address behavior, but in this case it is necessary to explain the former to explain the latter.
- I was the user that started the Russia involvement in regime change article, using a similar format as the one regarding the United States and copying content from other articles with the proper attribution. The only reason why I added the Angola section unreferenced was because I copied it verbatim, like it was established in its original article, and I don't think adding Wikipedia as a source is appropriate (WP:CIRCULAR).
- The section was later contested based on the scope of the article, not on verifiability. When the section of Panama was contested on the United States article on similar grounds and it was suggested that a common criteria should apply to both articles, I removed the sections of Crimea and Georgia, and it should be noted that these sections were added by myself and that they well-sources sections. They relied on reliable sources. My rationale for the removal remained the same: Verifiability does not guarantee inclusion, and I removed content that was determined not to be within the scope of the article.
- Regardless, the section about Panama was restored on the ground of "no consensus". I believe the question should be, and what I ask is, if my removals have not been justified or have been disruptive. If this is the case, I express my willingness to avoid it in the future and to accept any measure that is deemed as necessary to prevent it. --Jamez42 (talk) 18:39, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- > Once text is removed, all parties need to discuss before any text is reinstated once deleted.
- This would be a bizarre condition to place on all other editors and one that would give uneven power to the deleter. It is essentially removing the Revert stage out of the Bold, Revert, Discuss cycle. Oska (talk) 22:52, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- Oska Yes, I can see that proposal won't work. I don't know how to equalize the situation when all parties are bringing (as many editors do, wittingly or not) a stance, but the anti-US stance is overpowering the one editor who can represent that Venezuelans themselves are behind the push for a change in government. Silencing the one voice who can neutralize the article isn't right, but I don't how to fix that. That's why I don't get the big $$ for being an admin. And I see year-old diffs from es.Wiki accusing Jamez42 of POV for writing what was thought to be true at the time according to sources; there seems to be a lack of parity in terms of getting all sides of the story in our articles, and giving them due weight according to all sources. If one POV succeeds in topic banning someone they dislike, we risk ending up with all pro-chavismo sources like Max Blumenthal and Mark Weisbrot. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:30, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- Just for the record: per WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS, my interest is not representing or helping with a change of government (or situation for that matter) in Venezuela, just describing the situation as accurately as possible. I give equal importance to the content regarding Guaidó's embezzlement scandal or that about human rights abuses in the country. --Jamez42 (talk) 00:56, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- @SandyGeorgia:
the one editor who can represent that Venezuelans themselves are behind the push for a change in government.
I thought we are supposed to represent what the WP:RS says rather than help one Venezuelan editor be the spokesperson for the Venezuelans who want regime change. Would you make the same statement if a pro-Maduro Venezuelan was deleting reliably sourced sections critical of Maduro and speaking on behalf of Maduro as you contend TeleSUR does. Besides, I think you know there are other Venezuelan editors who speak Spanish who work on all these same articles and know the WP:RS. (Jamez42's response above came in while I was writing this). --David Tornheim (talk) 01:06, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- Correct: articles are supposed to reflect what reliable sources say, according them DUE WEIGHT and following NPOV. When the preponderance of reliable sources present one view, we give lesser weight to minority views. The majority view of most reliable sources is aligned with Jamez42's editing. Of every editor weighing in against Jamez42 here, he is the one editor who I have seen (on other Venezuelan articles-- admittedly, I was not involved at the specific articles in dispute here) who brings knowledge of a preponderance of reliable sources (English and Spanish) to the table. Almost every other editor opposing Jamez42's edits has brought fringe opinion and minority viewpoints to the discussions (at least that was my experience in the months I was actively involved at other Venezuelan articles). There are more of those kinds of editors weighing in. Explaining sentence-by-sentence to editors who know little of the full sources why their suggested sources are fringe or UNDUE can be exhausting. Particularly when some of those editors are aggressive or borderline BATTLEGROUND. I have no intention of being drug into these specific articles, but one can look at the Table of Contents at United States involvement in regime change in Latin America and see problems not only with where to put Venezuela, but how any country is categorized/defined. It's a POV article with a POV structure to begin with. Which are "accusations" and in which of those cases was there actually US intervention? It's a dreadful article overall, with some sections being a series of links, so what are the criteria for defining U.S. involvement? Are you applying the same standard to Venezuela as to others? This is why I gave up on how much it took to clean up related topics: I don't enjoy working on articles where the rest of the article is such a mess that you can't even figure out where to start to apply policy-based rational and consensus-building discussion. If you are going to compare US involvement in Venezuela to US involvement in Chile, well then, Jamez42 "Accusations of" seems like a better formulation. My suggestion is that, for those claiming Jamez42 is POV as a way to topic ban him from Venezuelan topics, while they themselves are unlikely to be able to demonstrate that their edits are neutral and a reflection of the DUE WEIGHT given these topics in reliable sources, might work harder to "write for the opposition" themselves, broaden the sources they consult, and consider how a thorough examination of their edits would look. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 06:46, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- @SandyGeorgia:
- @Jusdafax: you do understand that few reliable sources have much favorable to say about Maduro, right? Do you see it is possible to write text not favorable for Maduro without it being POV? If reliable sources have plenty negative to say about Maduro, reflecting that in our articles is not POV. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:32, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- SandyGeorgia Yes, western media (which Wikipedia favors) has little favorable to say about Maduro. If Jamez42 simply paraphrased what the WP:RS said, we wouldn't be here, but instead he introduces an anti-Maduro bias that is not representative of the WP:RS by, for example, his block deletions (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) that eliminate mention of the U.S. involvement in trying to topple Maduro that is clearly found in the WP:RS. Also his edits declaring Guaido President of Venezuela on Spanish Wikipedia and declaring Guaido won the Jan. 2020 election (explained above) show a similar bias. --David Tornheim (talk) 16:41, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- Comment I'm noticing that of the original messages/warnings cited by Tornheim, five ([148][149][150][151][152][153]), more that half, are either from the United States involvement in regime change or the United States involvement in regime change in Latin America articles, the most notable exception being the Hugo Chávez article, an article where I haven't edited as much as others. Articles whose dispute, I have to stress again, have happened over the course of a year. In fact, I first encountered in the main space two of the five original users quoted, Oska and SharabSalam, for the first time in these articles.
- These articles do not represent much broader range of articles I edit in. In fact, I'm not interested in articles about the United States or its foreign policy except when it affects Venezuela. Seeing how conflictive the "US involvement" and "involvement in Latin America" articles are, I'd be happy to stop editing in those articles if it is deemed appropriate. Besides the 1RR proposal, an interaction ban can also be considered.
- A topic ban is being proposed as a sanction againt me, accusing me of a very strong bias", an "anti-Maduro bias", pushing for "American narratives" and a "pro-Guaido POV". However, besides talking about the aforementioned two articles, there's no discussion regarding the demonstration of these biases. There are no edit differences as consistent as tried to with the United States involvement articles, only isolated diffs. What I don't want is that my contributions to Venezuelan politics articles are considered as bias merely because it is a controversial topic. I can offer some counterexamples, including that I was the first time to include content about Guaidó's embezzlement scandal, or if we are to talk about Latin America more broadly, that I included content about the excessive use of force during the Chilean protests,[154][155] whose government wouldn't't precisely be described as "left-wing".
- This begs the question: How are they expressed? Has my behavior consistently been disruptive across the articles I have edited in? Has the phrasing in my editions not been neutral and according to NPOV? Have I not adequately summarized a contraty position? Are the references that I'm including in the article not reliable? Edit warring? Stonewalling? There are some questions that I believe should be addressed:
- Have I engaged in disruptive or biased editing?
- What behavior or patterns are characteristic of this?
- In which articles or pages have these issues taken place?
- Has this behavior or patterns been consistent or systematic?
- This does not mean that I am denying that these affirmations can be true. In the last year, I can remember at least one instance when I violated the three reverts rule in Guaidó's article nonetheless (June), an editor notified me about this and I thanked them for letting me know, self reverting right afterwards. This only means I want to bring attention to these specific instances and patterns. As I have expressed before, if I learn about them I really look forward to fix and correct them, and in the case the community decides that this is not possible, that measures are taken to ensure that these patterns or behaviours are prevented. Only in this case, and per WP:PUNITIVE: to ensure repetition of disruptive behavior if there's no other way to prevent it. But the only way to avoid them is knowing which they are, and so far these are ambiguous accusations.
- I have to emphasize that a topic ban on Venezuelan politics on the very least, broadly constructed, would greatly affect my activity in Wikiprojects and articles that are not directly related to the current political crisis, including the Venezuelan cinema task force and the Women in Red WikiProject, as well as articles about economy or society.
- @David Tornheim:, I really hope that these: [156][157][158][159][160][161] are not attempts to WP:CANVASS editors that I have had disagreements with in the past to influence an outcome for this complaint that is preferable to you, specially given that in the past you have been warned against it in this same noticeboard.
- Before starting this complaint, you responded to a Request for Comment that I started about the reliability of The New Republic. You said that
The same group of editors who dominate the Venezuela pages have been eliminating these sources one-by-one with their !iVotes and often citing a connection to or supportive views of Maduro
. Although you didn't say names except for mine, I assume that includes SandyGeorgia. Do you feel this is part of a bigger pattern? Do you want to notify these editors to ask them about this? You also said thatI have good reason to believe this editor wants the New Republic eliminated to make it easier to delete material that is unfavorable to Juan Guaido who he supported in this this edit war here.
. You even mentioned you'd be "happy" to mention these concerns in WP:AN/I. Is this an issue that will also be brought up here?
- I was hoping for this complaint to address edit behavior, but it has turned increasingly about content dispute. Tornheim cites one of my edits in the Spanish Wikipedia arguing that it is proof of POV-pushing. Not only this can be a red herring when only the behavior of the English Wikipedia is being considered, where I have been active for a shorter time and have not contributed in as many articles, but also ignores my reply in their talk page:
It is ludicrous that you accuse me of having an agenda by quoting an incident that happened a year ago, not to mention in the Spanish and not the English Wikipedia, and you appear to show worrying ignorance about the situation. If you really want to go into depth: Efecto Cocuyo's article mentions 37 times changes (not reverts) in two hours, of which only five were mine: adding a date and an acronym, adding the category "Presidents of Venezuela", adding the predecessor parameter in the infobox, and adding a numeral; Only the last one was a revert of a user [that] reverted three times three different users and removed referenced content.
Did you get to read the article's version before the edit war? It's interesting that you accuse me of not following WP:RS when at the time the article had a section with five reliable sources supporting the claim, and my revert was precisely to restore the referenced content, not to add unreferenced content or to push for a POV. Did you read the talk page of the article and my afterwards proposals? I wasn't the only editor to believe sources supported the inclusion, after administrators intervened there was a thread afterwards that helped to shape the article.
- Contrary to what Tornheim claims, my revert restored removed referenced content WP:RS, not the other way around.
- Tornheim also describes my support for a nomination "In the News" as "advocacy". Excuse me, but what does that have to do with anything? How is that proof of biased editing? I wasn't even the nominator, and they fail to mention that I proposed a more neutral/less controversial blurb to comply with Wikipedia's NPOV. From
Incumbent Venezuelan National Assembly (NA) president Juan Guaidó is prevented from entering parliament to vote in the NA presidential election as Maduro-backed candidate Luis Parra is declared the winner.
toJuan Guaidó's position as president of the National Assembly of Venezuela is disputed by deputy Luis Parra
This reminds me when another complaint was opened against me back in 2018 for nominating El Paraíso stampede to "In the News", on the grounds of "trying to spread anti-Venezeulan bias":I believe these users are paid political advocates who are trying to spread anti-Venezeulan bias in this article during a time of maximum exposure on the front page "In the News" section (which Jamez42 nominated the article for)
- What would have been disruptive is insisting or spamming the nomination, or canvassing to get support. I only commented once, and that is enough for me.
- Since this complaint greatly affects my activity in the WikiProject Venezuela, where unsurprisingly I am an active member, it is only appropriate that I leave a notification about this complaint in its talk page. Regards. --Jamez42 (talk) 02:51, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- Notification in WikiProject. --Jamez42 (talk) 04:11, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- Comment and oppose topic ban: I oppose a topic ban for many of the reasons Sandy stated above: Jamez is of such benefit with sources it would be damaging to kick him off the articles. I only came here to comment on the general context of this ANI (from reading the opening and a few other statements above) and Jamez' general editing behavior; I have, though, avoided those regime change articles and cannot speak of his edits there - why I have avoided them is because from brief visits the topic seems overall... messy. Jamez cannot be the only contentious editor there, surely? This ANI almost seems like picking on him - there are many editors in this area (Latin American politics) with stated biases, refusal to discuss, and even poor command of English (whereas Jamez' is very good) who change articles to their own POV over and over. Even some (not all, there are also plenty good editors - in which I would include Jamez) who are more amiable to discussion still don't listen to policy and discussions die and incorrect or biased information languishes on pages for a long time. Yet only Jamez, one of the most active, whose good edits certainly outweigh bad, is being brought to discussion? Whenever I have mentioned to Jamez that some edit or other could be bad/POV/misunderstood or similar, he has apologized and is always open to discussion. If those discussions don't go anywhere, that is not only on him - and if he misunderstands them, we can always ask and explain rather than assume he's acting in bad faith. Kingsif (talk) 04:48, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose topic ban Jamez42 is a valuable member of the Venezuelan project. Jamez has demonstrated experience with Venezuelan sources, specially in what is related to Venezuelan media, organizations and legislative aspects. Also Jamez42 knows his way through Wikipedia, Jamez comments on talks when controversy arrives, most surely with sources and guidelines (and even opening RfCs), and also gets things that sometimes escape other users like size problems, charged terminology issues and linking Venezuelan articles together. On the issue of US involvement in regime change and Latin America, I have tried to contribute to those articles but the conversations there are a complex topic to handle (compared to my usual topics, mostly physics), as opinionated articles on the topic are abundant and it can get very controversial. I have before raised some concerns on how there lacks consensus on what should be written in those articles. I have seen Jamez trying to solve some important concerns that have appeared there, not only on the Venezuelan topics. In the case of Venezuela there was/is some text written that by consensus has to be reworked and some of Jamez concerns have been extensively discussed in the talk page. Considering the complexity of the Venezuelan crisis and other Latin American topics Jamez engages into, Jamez is not the typical contentious user, in these kind of articles there are many users that come through declaring NPOV by discussing unrelated topics, disrepecting the guidelines, adding fallacies or just not engaging in conversation. If Jamez has been involved in contentious editwarring, Advice: I hope a simple warning may suffice on these topics, Jamez seems to me a comprehensible user that may understand its consequences. --MaoGo (talk) 11:19, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose bans: One must understand how polarizing and controversial it is editing topics on Venezuela. Reverting rules occassionally get broken on accident and current events are a nightmare of edit conflicts. Editing Venezuelan topics is so controversial that a Wikipedia has been censored within the country. With that being said, I believe that Jamez42 has done their best at navigating the minefield that is editing Venezuelan topics. They have been instrumental with dealing with a serial sockpuppeteer that has been involved on Venezuelan and other projects, upholding the integrity of the Wikipedia project. As for this AN/I, I do not see an adequate warning by User:David Tornheim or other users. Unfortunately, this discussion is a harsh move of going over someone's head. There was a lengthy spiel by David on Jamez42's talk page and some discussions on random article talk pages, but no explicit warnings. Overall, I believe that Jamez42 has done a thorough job at improving the Wikipedia project and Venezuelan topics. If there were any poor editing behaviors that were turning into a bad habit, I am sure this undue use of AN/I will serve as an adequate warning.----ZiaLater (talk) 15:31, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- Comment Note that the three previous responses defending Jamez42's behaviour, all from WikiProject Venezuela members, appeared after Jamez42 canvassed the WikiProject Venezuela talk page using a notice (which Jamez42 mentions above) that was, IMO, not neutrally worded. (I don't doubt that these are their genuine opinions, and I hope the three users above aren't offended by my pointing this out, but I think it bears mentioning. Based on my understanding of WP:CANVASSING, this was an inappropriate notification, but I am open to being corrected if it is not.) — cmonghost 👻 (talk) 17:25, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- No noticing that Thorheim pinged in all of only one side of the alleged "POV debate" on his first post, so that all of the initial feedback on this thread was from people who happen to share Thorheim's POV? And from people who frequently use sources that do not represent majority viewpoints, while wanting to give UNDUE weight to those viewpoints? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:53, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- I responded to this after seeing the notification demanded by Cmonghost on the US regime change talk page (which you can obviously see in my contribs that I came here after seeing the talk page). Unlike Cmonghost, I did not have a notification nicely placed upon my talk page like what David did for Cmonghost, which was blatant canvassing. Also Cmonghost, we have the right to be offended because you are discriminating against WikiProject Venezuela members based on your hypocritical canvassing accusations, especially when you responded to canvassing from David yourself. Like Sandy, I also have an issue with the WP:FRINGE tendencies of such users. If we want to talk about bias, we can also look at David the nominator who is linked to and a funding advocate of Code Pink, one of the main advocacy groups that has long defended the Chávez[1] and Maduro[2] governments (I do respect the disclosing of possible WP:COI, though). Throw in the support of fringe sources and some whitewashing edits on top of this and we could cook up an ANI for David according to their own standards. So, it is easy to point the finger and accuse others of "bias" and "disruptive edits", but people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. We are all biased, so let's learn to work together, people.----ZiaLater (talk) 04:42, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- To both of you: I think it's a more than a bit of a stretch to say that notifying individuals who are mentioned in a complaint is canvassing. I would have been surprised to not be notified given that I was involved in the dispute in question and that my own editing behaviour is likely to come under scrutiny (and in fact, already has below) as a result of the complaint. I did not "demand" that Jamez42 place a notification on the US regime change talk page. What I actually did was recommend he remove the biased notice he placed on the WikiProject page, and mentioned that if he insisted on notifying the WikiProject, an action I disagreed with, he should also be notifying others. — cmonghost 👻 (talk) 14:04, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- Comment:
- Jamez42's walls of text are further muddying the water here. He seems to be too invested in how Guaido and Maduro are portrayed in Wikipedia to edit objectively. Looking at his top most edited articles makes it clear that this is just about the only thing he really cares about editing, rather than the overall health of our project.
- On this topic, he's been warned numerous times for:
- I believe he needs to take a break from these articles that he is too invested in and which he is unable to editing so as to follow the WP:RS. He needs to learn to work cooperatively rather than make wholesale deletions of sourced-material. A Topic Ban would accomplish this. --David Tornheim (talk) 17:11, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- So instead of reading my response you decide to dismiss it and insist on the accusations that I have responded to? That sounds like WP:ICANTHEARYOU. And I have to ask, what in my behavior has changed since this complaint wa opened for you to know ask for a topic ban for me, when you were only asking for a ban only in two article before? I feel you're moving the goalposts.
- You have repeatedly accused me of not following WP:BRD based on the edit diffs that you have cited ad nauseam, but if the timeline that I included above says anything is that you were the one making the bold edits, effectively putting the cart before the horse. Instead of just reverting, I included different versions a couple of times to look for an alternative version. I remind you that repeatedly adding content without consensus is just as disruptive as reverting. --Jamez42 (talk) 18:58, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- Besides, if you're considering a topic ban for an user with nearly six years of activity, more or less three in the English Wikipedia, it is only suitable to have a thorough discussion on it. --Jamez42 (talk) 13:09, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- Probably no action. This is tl;dr, and I think this is not an obvious case for a topic ban. Why this is not so obvious? For example, speaking about diffs in the beginning of the thread, yes, the USA government was obviously involved in Venezuela politics by helping certain pro-democracy politicians. However, USA failed. There was no "regime change" in Venezuela - as a matter of fact. Given that, one can reasonably argue that such materials should not be included, even though my personal inclination would be to include. My very best wishes (talk) 00:20, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- Support topic ban - I present a bolded !vote to topic ban Jamez42 from Latin American politics, in order to build on my brief comment above in support of David Tornheim, who correctly points out that Jamez42's editing behavior is at issue, and that Jamez42 has been repeatedly warned by a variety of concerned editors. The edit statistics overall show near-SPA editing on Venezuela politics and are de facto POV, and are not about building an encyclopedia. A topic ban is called for, and I join the other editors in this thread (about four screens above) in suggesting the Wikipedia community support this sanction to halt the disruption. Jusdafax (talk) 10:30, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- Your use of the word variety is dubious; the editors calling for him to be topic banned are aligned with one POV, and not precisely a POV that represents a preponderance of sources. Second, your "de facto POV" allegation amounts to saying one cannot edit in the areas one knows best. I guess I had best stay away from nose, ear, mouth and vagina. I suggest that you stay away from fax. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 10:41, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- Before asking for a topic ban against me, I ask to demonstrate how action or collaboration from my behalf to stop the alleged disruption is not possible, and how sanctions from the community are both preferrable and effective to stop it.
- Citing from my response to Tornheim, editing only within a single broad topic is not SPA (WP:SPATG):
When identifying single-purpose accounts, it is important to consider what counts as a diverse group of edits. For example, subjects like spiders, nutrition, baseball, and geometry are diversified topics within themselves. If a user only edits within a broad topic, this does not mean the user is an SPA
- If it is SPA and POV, I can be shown how to stop it. Just like I did with with Tornheim, invite participants to take a look at my created articles to have a broader picture. --Jamez42 (talk) 12:55, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
Case in point
OK, you drug me in. I went and looked at United States involvement in regime change in Latin America#Accusations. We can't get past the first three sentences before finding POV:So, Jamez42 is trying to remove a section based on demonstrable POV? The section begins with cherrypicking from one source, and never gets better. Chavez accused the Bush administration of <fill in the blank ... between Chavez and Maduro the US is reponsible for everything, accusations are their middle name ... is there no other side to this story, perchance?) The first paragraph doesn't reflect even the minimum of a more full analysis of reliable sources that we find at the section on US alleged involvement at the "coup" article, and leaves a decided impression, in Wikipedia's voice, that is not supported by a preponderance of sources. (To every one of you who reverted back in this text based on this source, did you actually read the whole thing and can you say with a straight face that the source is accurately represented with balanced text? So, I decided to see how that text came to be in this article.In April 2002, president Hugo Chávez was briefly ousted from power in the 2002 Venezuelan coup d'état attempt. Members of the Bush administration held meetings with opposition leaders four months before the coup attempt and Chávez accused the United States of being involved. The OAS and all of Venezuela's neighbours denounced the coup attempt, but the United States acknowledged the new government.[169]
- It started here with mere weasly cherrypicking of one source: (editor Zellfire999): [170]
It has been alleged that the United States was involved in this coup attempt, due in part to members of the Bush administration- including some with past involvement in Latin American regime change- holding meetings with the coup leaders.
- Then, Jamez42 attempts to neutralize the statement (but doesn't go far enough to deal with the full misrepresentation): [171]
- Later, Jamez42 removes the section, because, yes, there's nothing there (unless we want to give full weight to conspiracy theorist Wayne Madsen talking to The Guardian, but we already do plenty of that along with discredited "girlfriend of chavismo" Eva Golinger over at the 2002 coup article, so why not spread it here, too? But I digress): [172]
- Oska reverts, but not just the removal-- Oska goes all the way back to the version before Jamez42 attempts to partially neutralize the statement: [173] 03:34 July 7, 2019
- Then ensues a mess between Oska and Jamez42, I didn't look at the talk page to see what was happening ala consensus, but possibly both of them edit warred. Stop that.
- Post-ANI close addendum, added with the permission of the ANI closer, El C:[174] User:Oska came to this article as an RFC participant and pointed out that they had only two edits to the article. As Oska likely felt that I was "painting (them) with a broad brush" in all of the subsequent discussion here, I extend my sincere apologies for that oversight and my careless language. I have always believed that acknowledgement and apology trump striking words that anyone can still read, so I don't muck up the text with strikes, but the intent is the same. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:54, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- Cmonghost expands the cherrypicked, unbalanced, POV text from The Guardian, moving the text beyond cherry picking one source to a POV one-sided representation of what the preponderance of sources say: [175]
And that Cmonghost insertion is pretty much the POV text that is in the article now. No balance for accusations that are basically furthered by pro-chavismo (Golinger) and conspiracy theorists (Madsen). No indications of all of the sources stating that the US specifically declined to support the movement when they were told about. In Wikipedia's voice, using cherry-picked sources, we are implying that the US was involved in a "coup" because someone talked to them beforehand about dissatisfaction with Chavez, when a more complete analysis of all sources can be found over at the coup article. We have here a dispute where one set of editors, who are responsible for the POV, are accusing another of POV. As I said earlier, one editor is trying to reflect the full body of reliable sources; others are cherrypicking. That group of editors frequently brings minority/fringe views and installs them with full weight, as in this case. Besides that, this is a crap POV article overall, whose only apparent purpose is to further an agenda. Cmonghost, if you revert text back in to an article, you should check the source, and know all sources to make sure your text is balanced, because you are responsible for the current POV in the article. Broaden your reading base. Jamez42 is working from a base of knowing what the preponderance of sources say, but at a disadvantage in terms of talk page discussions because although his English is excellent, keeping up with multiple editors who don't know the sources is exhausting to even someone with native English. Jamez42, don't edit war; when you encounter POV warriers, walk away and let someone else deal with it. Conclusion: No one is right in this mess, but Jamez42 is less wrong than others, and you all need to do better. Shut this down and send them all away with a reminder to edit more carefully and discuss more collaboratively, while considering a preponderance of reliable sources. Trying to topic ban the one editor who is more accurately representing sources isn't on. Oh, and Thorheim, before complaining about Jamez42's "walls of text", could you drop the excess markup in yours, because it's very irritating. Adults don't need your undelining, bolding, etc. to be told what to pay attention to. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 10:27, 10 January 2020 (UTC)In April 2002, president Hugo Chávez was briefly ousted from power in the 2002 Venezuelan coup d'état attempt. Members of the Bush administration held meetings with opposition leaders four months before the coup attempt and Chávez accused the United States of being involved.[62] The OAS and all of Venezuela's neighbours denounced the coup attempt, but the United States acknowledged the new government.[62] The coup did not draw overt criticism from the Bush administration, and the White House initially denied that a coup had taken place, later distancing itself from direct involvement.
- I'm not liking your increasingly belligerent tone in this discussion SandyGeorgia. You are throwing aspersions at people willy-nilly. Regarding the allegation of 'edit-warring' you have thrown at me, here are the only two edits I have ever made to that article. The first was to revert the wholesale deletion of the section on Venezuela by Jamez42. The second was to revert his commenting out of that same section.
- Further, your assertion
Besides that, this is a crap POV article overall, whose only apparent purpose is to further an agenda
is showing your own bias. It appears that you don't approve of the article and thus are fine with people wholesale deleting parts of it. If you don't think the article should exist then you are free to nominate the article for deletion. That's the recognised process. And just as we have a formal discussion process to follow for deletion of articles we should also engage in discussion about wholesale deletion of sections of articles if there is non-consensus. Oska (talk) 12:16, 10 January 2020 (UTC)- I understand you may be uncomfortable having discussions of text based on sources, but you do realize that two reverts to the same thing is edit warring, I hope. Did you read The Guardian source before twice re-adding cherry-picked text to the article? Do you consider a 2007 source the best we can do in this case, considering the Wayne Madsen conspiracy theory connection to The Guardian? You reverted the text back in twice, so you should be able to defend the addition. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 12:28, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- And my “bias” is that we don’t build entire article sections around fringe, conspiracy theories, which result in crap. While my “belligerent opinion” is that you should all try harder. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 12:51, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

- The edit notes I made at the time speak for themselves. To insinuate that I necessarily support some particular part or source of the text that I reinstated is disingenuous and again, an overly aggresive assertion. I was simply reverting the wholesale removal of a section of the article. Jamez42 did not seek to discuss my revert, instead he responded by commenting out the section (thus essentially re-deleting it for any normal reader). Oska (talk) 12:35, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- When you reinstate text, you should be able to defend it. Can you? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 12:52, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- Obviously reinstating a whole section (13,642 characters) that another editor has wholesale deleted is different from reinstating a sentence or two, or any particular source. You're on very shaky ground here. My actions were the standard actions of any disinterested wikipedia editor who sees large sections of articles being removed. Oska (talk) 12:57, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- Then I must not be a standard Wikipedian, because I would not wholesale add text on a controversial topic if I did not understand the text or could not defend it. YMMV. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:05, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- I have not added any text to that article. I have only reinstated deletions. I am really getting tired of your misrepresentations of me.

So someone like me, who came to the article through an RfC, gets to be viewed through this same conspiracy viewpoint. Charming. Oska (talk) 13:17, 10 January 2020 (UTC)That doesn't mean I am naive to the topic of paid editing in Venezuelan articles. When Hugo Chavez was alive, and the Venezuela Information Office was a thing, it was a widely and well known fact that he controlled the entire suite of Venezuela articles, and attempts to recruit Wikipedia editors happened. I know. Personally. It's why I stopped editing the topic for many years, only coming back when I heard of the January 2019 crisis. No one was complaining when a blatant and pronounced pro-Chavez bias dominated the suite because Chavez was media savvy and put his best people on the job. I am completely unaware of any such effort during the 2019 Venezuelan presidential crisis, and considering the approaches I used to get, I think if there were a current effort to control the content on Wikipedia, I would have been approached. My observation is that we are dealing with a small group of editors, like me, who either by birth or other life circumstances, are familiar with Venezuela.

- So sorry you are displeased, but pointing out that you editwarred seems to be troubling you beyond what is warranted. If the shoe doesn’t fit, don’t put it on your foot. Feel free to link to the entire discussion about the Reddit idiot who tried to claim I was a paid government schill based on editcountitis, and let’s see how far that boat floats. I would do it for you, but I am on an iPhone right now. When I am on a real computer, I can strike or re-phrase anything that you believe paints you unfairly, but when you twice re-add disputed text, you cease being a neutral RFC respondent. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:48, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- To any editor interested to read specifically about the 2002 coup content dispute to form their own opinion, you can read Talk:United States involvement in regime change in Latin America#WPJ source, where cmonghost and I have discussed at length both the merits and the form of the inclusion of this content. --Jamez42 (talk) 12:44, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- Cmonghost is prone to discussion, so I was surprised to find this insertion came from them. People in good faith may simply not be aware of what the full body of reliable sources have to say on a topic. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 12:55, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- This is really not the place to relitigate this content dispute. You should post this stuff on the talk page if you want to get involved in that. What I will say is that the process of collaborative editing you are calling for, and I would also like to be able to follow, is rendered impossible when good-faith, sourced edits are repeatedly deleted on flimsy grounds (e.g., calling a scholarly article synthesizing primary sources a "primary source" itself and never explaining why). This is why I have repeatedly requested Jamez42 to follow WP:BRD rather than enforcing their preferred version of the article through repeated deletion. I agree that the current version of the 2002 section is poor (for example, it refers to Chávez intimidating people who received
such civil society assistance
, but no longer explains what the civil society assistance was or why it's relevant, because Jamez42 deleted it and didn't bother cleaning up), but I gave up working on it because it is not worth anyone's time to try to contribute material that will be immediately deleted. If Jamez42 is as versed in the sources as you claim, I'm confident they can contribute by adding more sources and additional context rather than attempting to remove all Venezuela content wholesale. — cmonghost 👻 (talk) 14:33, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

| It feels a little strange to impose three substantial topic bans — American politics, race, and abortion — at once on Edit5001, instead of simply indeffing them. But there is consensus for doing just that, on the principles of WP:AGF and WP:ROPE, so I have carried it out. Bishonen talk 22:32, 9 January 2020 (UTC). |

Five days ago, this user was blocked for 60 hours by El_C for edit-warring. Since being unblocked:
- their first edit to Illegal immigration to the United States was to continue an edit war; they subsequently violated 1RR but self-reverted after being notified
- their first edit to Catholic Church and abortion was to continue an edit war, and most of their subsequent edits to the article have been to revert numerous other editors in violation of WP:BRD
- their first edit to Anti-racism was a revert to restore uncited material
- they engaged in blatant canvassing for which they have been warned by JzG [177] and Bishonen [178]; they have responded without acknowledging the warnings
- they have repeatedly [179] [180] engaged in edit-warring at Unite the Right 2
- they have engaged in edit-warring [181] [182] on Heartbeat bill
- they have engaged in edit-warring [183] [184] on Legal status of drawn pornography depicting minors
In isolation, none of these would be unusually problematic (none involve a violation of 3RR, for example), but the pattern of hyper-aggressive editing in contentious areas is undeniable. (This is not to get in to their totally uncollaborative and uncollegial talk-page style.) The earlier 60 hour block does not seem to have had any positive effect on their approach to editing, so I would like to request a discussion about additional/alternative options. --JBL (talk) 22:34, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- These are content disputes. I'm actively discussing the edits I'm making on the talk pages both before and after making them. I'm not "edit-warring" anymore than the few people changing what I edit are. The Illegal Immigration page was not an edit war, someone literally removed huge enormous sections of long established content without consensus and I restored them. The edit on Catholic Church and abortion was removal of an addition completely unrelated to what was previously under discussion. The other edit there was simply adjusting wording that hadn't previously been discussed - not an edit war. The Anti-racism article was once again someone removing entire sections without saying anything on the Talk page, so I restored it once in hopes they'd give better explanation. All the rest are not edit warring - I'm literally discussing them all on the talk page and being bold in my changes as Wikipedia policy says to try to do. The people I'm in content disputes with on most of those pages are actually far closer to edit-warring than I am, because they often either don't respond to me on the Talk page or make no justification for their changes at all. Edit5001 (talk) 22:38, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- They additionally proposed on Talk:Nick Fuentes that the following are reliable sources: A brand-new conservative website with no identifiable editorial structure, an explicitly-pro-Trump and white nationalist blog, and this random New Zealand blog posted by a homophobic Christian extremist. I suggest that this user does not sufficiently understand content policies to work in a collaborative fashion in contentious areas; at minimum, an AP2 topic ban is warranted. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 22:47, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- I did not propose that they were reliable sources. I invited someone else to state what their problems with the sources were. I also did not attempt to add them to the article. Edit5001 (talk) 22:54, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- This reply demonstrates well one of the problems. Edit5001, if you do not understand that the WP:BURDEN is on you to use WP:RS and, when asked, to show that they meet our standards, then you should either (1) seek assistance from other editors or (2) not edit in sensitive areas like US politics. You cannot just offer up sources says asking "what's wrong with this one?". EvergreenFir (talk) 23:54, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- @NorthBySouthBaranof: wow. (I hadn't checked the talk-page there because it's the only article they've edited recently where they haven't done any edit-warring.) --JBL (talk) 23:43, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

- A topic ban from pages concerning politics, race, and abortion would give us a chance to find out if it's the subjects or the editor that's the problem. Ian.thomson (talk) 22:40, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- Support topic ban. "Hyper-aggressive editing in contentious areas" matches what I've seen from this editor. I considered bringing this editor to this noticeboard earlier today. I concur, a topic ban gives us a chance to see if this editor can be constructive in less contentious areas, or if we simply need to block them indefinitely. I don't believe anything less (for example, WP:0RR) would be sufficient here. --Yamla (talk) 22:45, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- What this looks like is a group of people actively trying to get me banned for opposing their changes to certain political articles. As can be seen in the changes linked, I have followed Wikipedia's policies on revert limits, reverted myself when I saw I made a mistake, and have been active on the Talk pages of basically every article I've attempted to make what these guys are calling "contentious" edits on. Edit5001 (talk) 22:53, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- I took a look at the overlap in article edits between your account and mine. Twelve years ago, I made one edit to Sexual ethics. I haven't checked, but it was probably to revert vandalism. That's the only overlap in articles, and I've got about 95,000 edits (to articles and other pages). I hope you aren't including me in your list, then, your list of people who oppose you on political grounds. Indeed, I'm concerned that you make this claim when there are significant non-politicial concerns with your editing. This is enough to make me support an indefinite block, but I strongly prefer a topic ban as the first option. --Yamla (talk) 23:01, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- If we've only ever overlapped on one article, in which you didn't disagree with my edits, what on Earth even brought me to your attention enough to show up and agree with banning me moments after the ban proposal was made? Edit5001 (talk) 23:08, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

"Hyper-aggressive editing in contentious areas" matches what I've seen from this editor
in their comment so that you could understand what they view as problematic! --JBL (talk) 23:16, 7 January 2020 (UTC)- I'm asking him how I came to his attention in the first place, not to mention why here's here just moments after this proposal was made. Edit5001 (talk) 23:43, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- I'm an admin, I monitor this and WP:AN (along with more than 6380 other pages). Your edits first came to my attention in December 2019, after you had been blocked and you requested an unblock.

- Support TBAN from AP2, abortion and race. The canvassing was particularly egregious: he went over 1RR at Illegal immigration to the United States (edit talk history protect delete links watch logs views), self-reverted with a comment Apparently I went over 1RR with this, but other editors are welcome to re-add the information for me if they agree with it and then WP:CANVASSed one editor likely to share his POV Your input is requested on changes to the Illegal Immigration in the United States page, clearly with the intent of getting that user to make the change. That follows on from the block on 4 December for placing conditions on a self-revert after a previous 1RR violation: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RRArchive400 § User:Edit5001 reported by User:NorthBySouthBaranof (Result: missing DS alert added, 24 hours). There's a mountain of tendentious editing, edit warring and questionably competent assertions of CNN's news being as biased and inaccurate as that of Fox based on unreliable right wing websites. This editor is a drain on everyone. Guy (help!) 22:57, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
I find it very interesting that all these people (many of whom I've been in past content disputes with) are all magically showing up at the same time to chime in on favor of banning me. This couldn't be more politically motivated against an editor trying to bring some semblance of balance to political articles. I think this behavior is disgusting. Edit5001 (talk) 23:04, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- Maybe if you fucking listened to people, you might get it through your skull how policy opposes the changes you've been trying to make. As for politics, it doesn't take left-wing politics to oppose (supposedly civilly) pushing a "both sides" approach to articles on white supremacist conspiracy theories and attacks, all it takes is not being a white supremacist (or white supremacist enabler, if that's really any different). Ian.thomson (talk) 23:06, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- I made a proposal to include more information about demographic changes in that article. When I was told and understood that would technically be WP:SYNTHESIS, I dropped it.

- Edit5001, you "forgot" the edit warring. Example: removing the identification of a group pushing a heartbeat bill as a hate group (basically anti-abortion terrorists). That's relevant in context. You have a problem with m:MPOV. And competence. Guy(help!) 23:28, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- I made a single revert to what you first reverted on me. Also, that inclusion to me seems to be a violation of WP:SYNTHESIS because none of the sources in relation to Heartbeat bills stated that they were a "hate group". That extra inclusion was added by editors as original research to make an anti-abortion group look bad. Also, as has been well documented with the SPLC, they label many groups as hate groups who have no connection to violence whatsoever, so I find your use of the word "terrorist" here bizarre.

- I have stuck to 3RR and 1RR and reverted myself when I went over them. I have repeatedly sought consensus on Talk pages. I have repeatedly taken other people's voices into account and sought compromise. A good portion of the people I've reverted did not even respond to me on the talk page. On the Anti-racism article, I reverted one person who reverted something I didn't even have a part in working on. But you still call that an "edit war". Edit5001 (talk) 01:49, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

- Ugh. "Also, as has been well documented with the SPLC, they label many groups as hate groups who have no connection to violence whatsoever" is a nice illustration of the IDHT problem here: "hate" and "violence" are different words, and not all hate groups incite violence. It also indicates what this user is doing here. They're called to ANI to defend their behavior, and use the opportunity to try and push their particular POV. The problems signaled by other editors are enough for me to support an indef-block. Drmies (talk) 00:09, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

- I am aware most recently of this editor from Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Tyciol/Archive#20_December_2019. In reviewing a few of this editor's activities, it seems that there are some fundamental problems in understanding Wikipedia's policies and standards expected of its editors. Above in this section, Edit5001 demonstrates a lack of understanding about WP:BURDEN and WP:RS. This is demonstrated here as well. In this edit, Edit5001 removed sourced material with the explanation that it was SYNTH. However, the source unambiguously and directly supports the text. Edit5001 has made inflammatory statements and demonstrated a desire to argue about topics on talk pages (WP:BLUDGEON, WP:NOTFORUM) ([185], [186], [187], [188], [189], [190], [191]). Edit5001 has racked up many warnings on their user talk page in their short tenure here.
- I would support topic bans given this overall pattern of behavior with the hope that (s)he gains more competence in editing, reduces argumentative talk page behaviors, and demonstrates to the community their willingness and interest in building an encyclopedia (and not just arguing about pet topics).

- Did you look at the Illegal Immigration in the United States page? Someone removed over 10,000 characters of the article that had been there for months, without discussion on the Talk page, and I simply reversed it. How is that a violation of any policy on my part? Edit5001 (talk) 01:47, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- The issue at hand is not your one revert on one page. But in that instance, the issue/policy you violated was WP:1RR. I am ambivalent on the removal (WP:TNT) approach, but if you had concerns about it, bringing them to this noticeboard, starting an RFC, etc. all would have been appropriate responses. That a block of text is missing (or added) for a day is not an emergency. EvergreenFir(talk) 05:40, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

- Nothing in this conversation or their ongoing editing suggests that clue is being acquired. It looks like either an indefinite block or topic bans will be necessary to control the disruption, although it is a bit odd to take an editor and topic-ban them from every single topic on which they have ever edited in the hope that they improve. --JBL (talk) 12:41, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- Support topic bans on American politics, abortion, and race issues, all broadly construed. It is clear this user intends to disrupt these areas if they don't get their way, and that lack of collaborative attitude is unhelpful in areas that are all already contentious. Oppose blocking at this time per WP:ROPE. Lets see if they can work well with others in non-contentious areas. --Jayron32 12:53, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- Support Tbans per Jayron32. After a sixty hour block, the editor came right back to the controversial articles. The block apparently didn't work. I don't think we need another block yet, but a Tban is quite necessary. Ahiroy (talk) 00:21, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- Support topic bans per Jayron32. Something needs to be done about new(?) editors joining Wikipedia, creating user pages with a few words, then jumping straight into the most controversial subjects with the single purpose of inserting their POV. Arbcom has reinforced] that edit warring is unacceptable in this topic area and that "articles should always verifiably use the best and most reputable sources". I have also observed Edit5001's edits on CNN [192][193] and they do not leave me with the impression that Edit5001 listens to advice, accepts our content policies, or cares about improving the encyclopedia in general. - MrX 🖋 14:45, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- Support. User Edit5001 does POV-push on a variety of issues, including even climate change. Consider this edit. In the edit summary Edit5001 accuses other contributors of "lying", but the diff speaks for itself. 1st change in the diff. The claim by Dobbs was indeed a falsehood because it was made receently (not in 1970s), and the claim was described as promotion of falsehoods in the cited source. 2nd change. No, 20% is not 1/3. And so on. My very best wishes (talk) 20:35, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

MioAkiyama26 (talk · contribs) has been repeatedly warned about changing climate data in articles that is properly referenced with data lacking any sourcing, see the talk page. To no avail. The exact same behavior this user was warned for continued again today, see here. Looking at the other contributions of this user reveals a consistent pattern of changing referenced info. A block would be in order... -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 16:03, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- As this particular pattern of unsourced climate-data-changing has been going on slowly for months and years, I've blocked the user indefinitely as any shorter block would seem a little pointless given the gaps between editing.

This is a thread merely based on about actions that I consider to be consistent incivility, disrespect and mockery of GPRamirez5 against me, as well as the last personal attack in this noticeboard.
There's currently a thread opened in the noticeboard about my actions, and this thread is opened without prejudice of the discussion above.
My interactions with GPRamirez5 have been relatively few, but regretabally, rocky regardless to say the least. If I'm not mistaken, our first encounter was in the Crisis in Venezuela article. I believe that the first incivil edit summary directed to me that I can find was "Did you even read the source? Good lord". There are several of their comments in the talk page that could be considered incivil as well:
- "
How do you have the temerity to claim "Everything in this section is addressed," when you admit you haven't read the section, Sandy Georgia? And when Weisbrot's work is published by a university press, yes it is more reliable than your WP:BREAKINGNEWS tabloid trash
" 24 March 2019 (edit summary: "TLDR FOH". I really hope it meant something else other than "Too long, didn't read, fuck outta here") - "
A total whitewash, not surprising coming from a slimy outfit funded by the Saudis and other heinous interests.
" 28 March 2019 (edit summary: "Think tank of arms dealers and head choppers")
We encountered each other again in the Max Blumenthal article and the 3RR noticeboard, where a discussion was started about TheTimesAreAChanging and afterwards archived without resolution. On both cases, we disagreed with the changes again. Before getting involved in the article or its talk page, SandyGeorgia, TheTimesAreAChanging and GPRamirez5 had a discussion where GPRamirez5 continued with personalization of discussions, reason which they were explicitily called out for it. Some examples are the following:
- 26 February 2019 ("No Telesur, but plenty of bloviating")
- 10 March 2019 ("Wow, the fucking nerve")
- 10 March 2019 ("FOH" again)
- "
Forgive me my liege! That wasn't you, that was ZiaLater who repeatedly reinserted the falsehood
" 13 March 2019 ("prostrate begging for your absolution")
- 21 March 2019 ("defending standards and documenting misconduct is not a 'personal attack'")
TheTimesAreAChanging, GPRamirez5 and I continued discussing in a separate section about a different dispute, where even though GPRamirez5 didn't participate very much, their behavior continued, both in their comments and their edit summaries:
- "
(...) it doesn't belong here.
" 17 April 2019 ("Show me the Blumenthal")
I started a thread on the Dispute resolution noticeboard on 21 April 2019 and notified both users to attempt to find a solution to the dispute. Still, the thread was closed because no answer was given after 72 hours, even though I asked them to participate. The apparent lack of interest to cooperate, along with the antagonizing responses, were incredibly frustrating. GPRamirez5 continued with the personalization in the remaining responses:
- "
Your grasping use of sourcing and leaps of logic cannot help.
" 24 April 2019 - "
And I'll repeat: WP:ONUS.
" (responding to a lengthy comment of mine) 25 April 2019 ("Consensus exists to exclude")
The next time that GPRamirez5 and I interacted with each other was once again in the Crisis in Venezuela article talk page. Their comments were just as snarky as in the past:
- "
Request denied. The US is an actor in Venezuela, and much mainstream commentary references US policies and politics.
" 4 June 2019 - "
As if this page were currently free of strawman fallacies lol...
" 4 June 2019
The same day I left a message in GPRamirez5's talk page asking them to refrain from accusations and the personalization in comments:
Since we have found ourselves in common articles in the past, I prefer to write a message directly. In the past you have not assumed good faith from my part, made accusations against me and have replied with sarcasm and irony, to put it midly; from what I gather, this is not the first time this has been pointed out. Furthermore, I have previously looked forward seeking a solution to previous disagreements, to which I have not received responses, and along with the actions that I have mentioned before, this has meant that the exchanges so far have been unhelpful in looking for agreements. For these reasons, and before there are further discussions, I'm asking you to please refrain from this in the future. Best regards, --Jamez42 (talk) 17:27, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
GPRamirez5 disregarded the message by simply deleted the message nine minutes afterwards without providing an edit summary. I replied writing "Note taken". GPRamirez5 responded by removing several unwanted messages, mostly from the Feedback request service, including my message. To add insult to injury, they wrote "Cleaning out the trash" as edit summary.
GPRamirez5 started a RfC on 1 July 2019 in the United States involvement in regime change article talk page about the inclusion of a section about Venezuela. At one point, I felt that GPRamirez5 said a whataboutism argument and I commented on it. GPRamirez5 replied saying that another user and me were the ones engaging in whataboutism with the edit summary "Pot meets kettle". I responded warning that I would start a complaint in the admin's noticeboard if personal attacks continued. The next edit summary was "Double standards all the way down"
There wasn't much interaction afterwards, with possibly two reverts in Max Blumenthal's article.[199][200][201] on October. This was until 31 December, when they intervened and reverted in a current dispute in the United States involvement in regime change article.
For six months, we didn't interact or find each other in articles talk pages. Despite this, GPRamirez5 participated in a thread about me that was opened in this noticeboard, outright asking for a topic ban against me about Venezuelan politics articles:
Topic Ban at least A transparently disruptive editor who has no regard for consensus when it goes against his anti-Maduro bias.GPRamirez5 (talk) 23:23, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
This comment happens after nearly no interaction with me for months. GPRamirez5 did not participate in any discussions regarding the dispute that was the reason to start the thread, and has not either specified or provided any diffs or details about this accusation. After the long term abuse described above, I have serious doubts that his vote was casted in good faith and I can only consider these accusations as a personal attack.
I didn't want to start a complaint on the noticeboard because we didn't interact further and prevent further inflammation. The only reason why I finally decided to open it is because of the opened discussion above, and since the complaint greatly affects my activity in Wikipedia I felt that it was important to document all of this behavior. I don't know about which intervention could administrators take to help on the matter, but I felt that at the very least this should be weighted when closing the aforementioned discussion. Regards and many thanks beforehand. --Jamez42 (talk) 20:26, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

- @The Banner: There are two reasons why I have to disagree. The first one being that I don't seek a retribution against GPRamirez5 nor am I asking for it, but rather I seek to bring attention to this pattern. The second being that we have had very few interactions, and the only few ones that we have had have been hostile. Have we had more discussions or talked more, I don't think that I would have started this thread.

Q douglasii (talk · contribs) has been insistently adding unsourced and low quality revisions of coats of arms to articles related to the Holy Roman Empire, and has been edit warring over them. See [202], [203], [204], [205], [206], [207], [208] as just a few representative diffs. More serious however, and why I'm bringing this here is that he appears to be logging out to avoid scrutiny, as the following diffs showing a IP restoring his edits shows: [209], [210], [211], [212], [213], [214], [215], [216], [217]. The reason I've brought this here rather than to wp:AN/3 is because of the logging out, while the reason I haven't brought it to wp:spi is because I don't think Q douglasii is associated with a known sockmaster, and SPI tends to ignore such cases.

Q douglasii repeatedly deletes templates and revertes edits
The User:Q douglasii in his uploaded files instantly removes templates with links to vector versions and also templates indicating that are not official Coat of arms, which they really are, because they never existed and adopted. This his behavior is a heavy violation of the rules and should be penalized. These templates are intended for this purpose, they cannot be inserted or removed as someone wishes, they merely inform that there are vector versions on Wikimedia. These Coats of arms of the User:Q douglasii are unhistoric and just putative of the author, because there are no sources for them. The author did not procure sources to support them because there are no sources (depictions, chronicles, documents etc.), just NOTHING. These files just collages created by elements taken from elsewhere, some are random/generated or taken from modern ones. It's proven that these are fictional versions by his own ideas. The user re-uploaded some of his files again-repeatedly, which means that he don't know what it should look like. He does not have the necessary knowledge of history and heraldic rules, he create them as he think they should look. This is absolutely wrong! It is inadmissible to be placed in historical articles about real historical states! The Wikipedia is intended for education and inform, not for one's artistic realization or hobby and fun. If the author does not want or fails to have the necessary sources for his files, his creations should not be used in the articles, because there is no possibility of discussion about it. There is nothing to discuss without sources. He enforces its files through coercion. The user now creates another files and wants to replace many more! I'm not the only one who reversed his edits, someone has done it a few times, but Q douglasii cancels instantly everything. If it is to be effective, a step together is needed, otherwise this problem will take a long time. I suggest these scrap should be replaced or deleted immediately in the articles. Otherwise reputation of Wikipedia will fall and will become an unreliable source. We cannot maintain its quality level if there aren't enough active users, but if you are, don't overlook it. We can't let this happen, please. I beg you, do something about it. – Dragovit (talk) 17:43, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
Q douglasii repeatedly deletes his talk page
This message the User:Q douglasii still deletes because of the annoying facts about his inaccurate files.
Quote: Please have a look at these historical thalers. It's show a real historical Coat of arms of the Electorate of Hanover.
And now please compare these pictures, which is closer to them? :D
Please, my friend, stop making this useless bullshits with the hat of Santa Claus. You're wasting your time only, mine and yours, but worse, you're ruining Wikipedia and its reputation. – Dragovit (talk) 10:10, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
Uploaded files in details
Let's look at those files in detail. The User:Q douglasii assumes that all medieval Coats of arms have the same shape, one specific color and one beast (lion, horse, eagle etc.) thus all files seem to correspond to his concept of aesthetics and have nothing to do with history. He does not assume at all that the Coats of arms developed and depended on the ruling houses, just then much later were identified with the country. All coat of arms have the same royal crown and electoral bonnet/hat and it does not matter if the elector was a king, archbishop, duke or margrave, so it is also wrong. It is also common practice that the last historical coat of arms is used in article's infobox. The problem is that the user's creations do not represent any particular period, it is only a author's hypothetical representation of what a coats of arms might look like if were created in nowadays. In fact, there was no specific form and the coats of arms had different appearance, so it is misleading. – Dragovit (talk) 17:46, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
The medieval Kingdom of Bohemia had an electoral vote in the Holy Roman Empire to elect an emperor. User:Q douglasii assumes, that Bohemia had its own electoral Coat of arms, so he created the hybrid Coat of arms with with combinantion of the electoral bonnet/hat and the german Crown of the King of the Romans on the top. However, this Coat of arms cannot be found nowhere. I told him that the Bohemian coat of arms uses the Crown of Saints Wenceslas and he made the change only upon my request, apparently he hadn't known about this before. However in Bohemian/Czech heraldry this specific combination has never existed. The author is aware that the King of Bohemia was an Imperial Arch-Cupbearer, so he combined the Coat of arms of Bohemia with the Coat of arms of Imperial Arch-Cupbearer as a inescutcheon, but this combinated Coat of arms cannot be found nowhere, never existed. However, he decided to replace by this file another one, that is perfectly fine and accurate. He placed it to an infobox in article about the Kingdom of Bohemia as a state coat of arms, which than was reverted, but he apparently plans to repeat it.
The rest is same as the Kingdom of Bohemia. The author is aware that the Elector of Hanover was an Imperial Arch-Treasurer, so he simply combined the Coat of arms of Hanover with the Coat of arms of Imperial Arch-Treasurer as inescutcheon. He doesn't care that he has no sources, and nowhere can this coat of arms be found. The red inescutcheon is possible against heraldic rules, because the background is also red and the coat of arms is not clearly visible. Such a coat of arms could not do its function anywhere. The horse was taken from the modern Coat of arms of Lower Saxony, today's state of Germany. The shape also matches with the modern Lower Saxon coat of arms. It is therefore a collage/hybrid of various heraldic elements of different Coats of arms, which are some modern, but the author doesn't care. All coats of arms are created in the same way. Appearance is same-identical as copied or generated via template. Everywhere is used the german crown of the King of the Romans (Kingdom of Germany), which is sometimes combined with the Electoral bonnet/hat. For the Coat of arms of the Electorate of Bavaria he used only Wittelsbach lozenges without the lion of the Palatinate of the Rhine, so he knows nothing about the influence of Wittlesbachs transcending Bavaria. – Dragovit (talk) 17:46–18:45, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
Also archbishops have the same Electoral bonnet. The author does not care that due to their religious office they wore the archbishop's miter and this was reflected in heraldry. The golden lines are derived from one old depiction and do not occur anywhere else, apparently it was it's decoration on the picture and nothing more. Everywhere are crosses without these golden lines. The author simply does not respect history or knows nothing about it. – Dragovit (talk) 18:59, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
These are just duplicates and they are already on Wikimedia, the same and in much better quality in vektor format. There is no need to insert the same coats of arms, but even this user does not understand. He replaced flawless files with his, because he wanted his own to be there. It does not do it for historical accuracy, but for its pleasure and aesthetic sense. – Dragovit (talk) 19:11, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

| User blocked and subsequently unblocked on the condition that they are topic banned from the subject of racial demographics, broadly construed. ~Swarm~ {sting} 03:36, 12 January 2020 (UTC) |
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Although the majority of user:JoshuaIsTheFalco's recent edits appear to be fine, despite warnings and explanations, they continue to make occasionally troubling edits. In particular, they have a tendency to reword or rewrite racial demographic information in ways that are potentially disruptive. Based on their edit summaries and talk page posts, they seem to hold a fallacious belief that qualitatively describing racial demographic trends in an article is akin to advocating for fewer White people [224].
Recent edits: [225], [226], [227], [228]
Older edits: [229], [230], [231]
Other strange or worrisome edits: [232],[233], [234], [235], [236]
What's especially notable to me is that the demographic edits are generally confusing and sometimes ungrammatical rewrites of the prior sentences. Even ignoring the racial aspects, these edits strike me as at best, careless and hasty. I feel bad for suggesting it, but I was wondering if a topic ban on demographic information would be appropriate? That said, because of some of their behavior, I am also concerned by potential competency issues regarding their general edits. Thanks, Darthkayak (talk) 22:50, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- So your telling me that a so called fake decline in White British on Worcestershire page is appropriate?. I found it offensive because the author of that claimed nationwide there was a trend of decline. Yet the white population grew in Worcestershire. Telford and others edited used very informal language to demonstrate diversity. Low rates = Lack of. Wording like While this change is in line with the nationwide trend of the White British share of the population shrinking, is very offensive and disgusting. Almost saying its shrinking so there'll be no white people. If that wording is allowed and appropriate then Wikipedia really are in the left wing offensiveness.

This is a WP:CIR issue (as is very obvious from their reply above), especially as they don't actually seem to understand the difference between numbers of people and percentage of population, and I have blocked JITF indefinitely until they produce an unblock request that either promises to stay away from racial demographic issues here or makes it clear that they understand the problems that they are causing.

- This request was misformatted (which, to be fair, is common among unblock requests), and I have reformatted it so that it works.

- (Non-administrator comment) Black Kite leaving it to another admin sounds reasonable. As to the diffs Darthkayak has provided, JoshuaIsTheFalco's changing and removing words and statements because they're offensive is a bit troubling, not to mention adding unsourced speculation [237]. And JoshuaIsTheFalco's unblock request seems a bit vague as it's not worded in a way that it can easily be understood. It's hard to make up what he's trying to say in his unblock request to be able to tell one way or another if he understands the reasoning for his block or not. —Mythdon (talk • contribs) 01:33, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

- The original unblock request was quite understandably declined as it didn't quite address the problem fully; now that he's agreed to unambiguously stay away from racial demographics I have accepted his second unblock request with that specific topic ban in place.

- tedder, yes, those edits probably look very drastic; look at my edits today and you'll see some similar ones. Duane could be a force for good but is not. They edit often from the public libraries and you'd think they'd have a wealth of sources for the local topics they edit, but really nothing that they do is sources. For every interesting and relevant factoid they add, there's a dozen edits with irrelevant and verbose detail, unnecessary dates and wikilinks, and long digressions. One of the IPs we looked at today, they'd been using that since at least 2014. I did in fact contact a librarian for the library system (just to give them a heads-up, in case patrons were complaining they couldn't edit Wikipedia), but of course those librarians can hardly be expected (legally, morally, and practically) to police their patrons' workstations so I don't really know what else we can do. I placed a rangeblock, and before I did so I looked at over a thousand edits: all Duane's. They are certainly prolific. Drmies (talk) 00:03, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Blatant source removals and blatant Israeli POV pushing on a variety of articles by Greyshark09
User should be warned/blocked for violation of Wikipedia policy of deliberate source removing and censoring articles about Israel.
Example one: User removes Iraq from the infobox of an Israel Iraq clash without summary [240].
Later on sources are added mentioning the belligerent is a part of the Iraqi Armed forces. [241]
User removes the sources and reverts the edit [242].
Example two: User does the same edit in another article despite the sources mentioning PMF being part of Iraqi Military [243]
Example three: User removes an article about Israeli Iraqi clash from related template without summary [244].

Another editor recently started a thread here about this problematic editor. That thread was archived without action to here. The crux of the issue is that the editor is adding fire department/district websites to the external links section of various articles. Examples; [245],[246]. More than a hundred of these edits have been reverted per Wikipedia:WikiProject_Cities/US_Guideline#External_links, WP:ELMINOFFICIAL, and WP:LINKFARM. The editor has been warned about these edits starting in August of last year (see User_talk:ThosLop#August_2019). Despite multiple attempts at contact by several different editors on this editor's talk page, despite several warnings regarding the issue, despite the prior WP:AN/I thread, despite a final warning to his talk page here, this editor is continuing as before; [247]. To date, the editor has made 381 edits; all to mainspace. The editor has never once made a talk page edit. The editor is either unwilling to discuss the issue, or is completely oblivious to the hundreds of revert messages they have received and the many talk page notices that have appeared on their talk page. Regardless of why they are acting in this manner, their edits are disruptive and they are refusing to discuss the issue in any respect. I am asking for them to be blocked to prevent the continued disruption. The editor has been notified of this thread. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 01:20, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Request for semi-protection of multiple articles (more complex that typically handled at WP:RFPP)
An unregistered editor using multiple IP addresses - most recently 174.253.160.95 - is edit-warring with multiple editors to add or retain the same content in multiple articles: American Academy of Dramatic Arts, List of Florida Institute of Technology people, List of Ohio State University people, and List of Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University alumni. All of the edits focus on adding a stuntman to the articles (e.g., [249], [250], [251]) but all of the other editors who have examined these edits have determined that the sources - when sources are provided - are not reliable. There is an open discussion in the article's Talk page in which he or she is fitfully participating while continuing to edit all of the articles against the developing consensus. He or she has used edit summaries (e.g., [252]) that indicate a familiarity with 3RR so I don't think a warning for that is necessary (and it's difficult to keep up with the changing IP addresses).
Can someone please temporarily semi-protect these articles to prevent the unregistered editor from continuing to edit war? (I'd ask for a block but I the IP addresses keep changing - 174.253.160.95, 108.214.242.121, 216.189.211.99, etc. - and I don't see pattern that is amenable to a range block.) Thanks!

He has never responded to any attempts at communication on his talk page and continues marking every one of his edits as minor, which at this point is bald-faced disruption.

Rich Farmbrough (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
I really wish I wasn't here and we didn't have to have this conversation, but it seems Rich is probably violating his community-imposed editing restrictions. I didn't go looking for this issue, I have a lot of U.S. geographic locations on my watchlist and Rich lit it up with these changes the last day or so. As logged at WP:RESTRICT#Placed by the Wikipedia community the restriction reads as follows:
Regardless of the editing method (i.e. manual, semi-automatic, or automatic; from any account), Rich Farmbrough is indefinitely prohibited from making cosmetic changes to wikicode that have no effect on the rendered page (excepting those changes that are built-in to stock AWB or those that have demonstrable consensus or BAG approval). This includes but is not limited to: changing templates to template redirects, changing template redirects to templates (see here for AWB stock changes on this item, with the understanding that bypassing template redirects will only be done when there is a substantive edit being done), changing the spacing around headers and ordered lists (except to make an aberration consistent with the rest of the page), and changing the capitalization of templates. Furthermore, prior to orphaning/emptying and deleting categories or templates, the appropriate processes (WP:CFD/WP:TFD) should be engaged.
Here is a fairly representative sample of the hundreds and hundreds of edits Rich has made in the past few days, at impossibly fast speeds (about one edit every six seconds while active). By my read of the restriction, it completely forbids making cosmetic edits. Changing {{commonscat}} to {{Commons category}} is basically a textbook example of a useless cosmetic edit. It is also arguable that changing "residing" to "living" is basically cosmetic as it does not effect the readability of the text, residing being an easily understood word. In my opinion the last thing we need is another user going on a jihad against a word they don't like. We also don't need edits that don't improve articles. The above restriction is overly wordy, but is doesn't appear to me to give him cover making purely cosmetic edits if he adds a silly, pointless edit to the prose at the same time and calls it "cleanup" in the edit summary. The whole thing seems like an exercise contrived to more or less comply the exact wording of the restriction while violating the spirit of it. In short, I think overall Rich is a decent guy and an asset to the project, but these edits are not of real value and appropriate action should be taken to curtail this sort of activity. (I'm going to be extremely busy for the next few days so I'm basically leaving this here for the community to decide without me, if I'm totally wrong about this, so be it.) Beeblebrox (talk) 19:55, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- Yes totally wrong, stock AWB changes are permitted. Pity you didn't talk to me first. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 19:58, 5 January 2020 (UTC).

- This is an administrator noticeboard, not a community noticeboard, there is rarely a need to bring something up here (or indeed any noticeboard) before discussing it with the other editor. It's not collegial for starters. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 21:14, 5 January 2020 (UTC).

- Sorry, but just glancing at contribs, I see 14 edits at 19:55 5 Jan 20 (one every 4 seconds or so) changing "residing" to "living". I don't think these are improvements; to me, this is more like adding a space and deleting it. I agree that "change one word across all articles" is almost never a good approach. These edits don't appear to violate the weirdly-specific wording of the prohibition quoted above, but nevertheless, I'm not in favor of these kinds of mass edits (changing "residing" to "living"). – Levivich 20:59, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comment. I understand that you are not in favour of the substantive change, and that's fine, we can have a discussion about that - elsewhere. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 21:12, 5 January 2020 (UTC).
- Not just 14 - there are thousands of them (I counted around 9,000 in the last 24 hours alone). Very odd behaviour indeed. (Incidentally, {{commonscat}} -> {{Commons category}} is indeed an AWB builtin, so it doesn't violate the sanction). Black Kite (talk) 21:07, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- (Non-administrator comment) This does appear to be a violation of the sanctions, although I'm more concerned that Rich's recent edits (within the past 24 hours [256] [257] [258] [259] [260]) do nothing but inflate his edit count—just changing "residing" to "living" without making any other substantive changes to those pages does not improve the encyclopedia. That sort of tendentious editing is in itself disruptive, in that by looking at his recent contributions, he's doing this approximately 10 times per minute. Thus I think just nitpicking if Rich violated his restrictions or not de-emphasizes the real issue and ignores what is a symptom of a bigger problem. So if we're going to nitpick whether Rich violated his restrictions of not, then I don't see how Rich editing at monstrously fast speeds (flooding recent changes and watchlists whilst making no improvements to the encyclopedia) should be anything short of the main focus of this discussion.—Mythdon (talk • contribs) 21:42, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

- The editing restriction is about cosmetic changes to wiki markup. One may dispute the worth of changing "living" to "residing" as much as one wishes, but it is neither cosmetic nor wiki markup. Sorry, but this seems like somebody is looking what to complain about, and I'd dismiss this thread summarily. Debresser (talk) 21:31, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- (Non-administrator comment) But making bot-like edits of this sort is disruptive. We've had cases like this before where editors were making bot-like edits and that user was restricted to no more than four edits per minute. I don't think there needs to be a repeat of that of any sorts. I'm not too concerned with the editing restrictions myself whether he violated them or not, but his recent contributions clearly show that he's doing this at machine-like speed. It's the whole making changes without making changes at mass speed that's disruptive and a cause for concern. There's no improvement to these pages or any noticeable change to these pages just from changing "residing" to "living" amongst all the other tiny changes he's making at this kind of speed.—Mythdon (talk • contribs) 21:57, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- As I mentioned above, other editors may view formal language as a good thing. And we can by all means have a discussion about whether or not it is. But there are fora for that that are not AN/I. Beeblebrox has claimed this is a violation of my editing restriction. It is not. Branching out into other areas which have not been discussed in a collegial way at a suitable venue is not helpful.

- It might be better to instead have a discussion about this via a WP:Request for comment. From the above discussion, it sounds as if there's no actual violation of a Wikipedia policy or of the editing restrictions; merely making small edits quickly and efficiently is not in and of itself a violation of the rules as far as I can tell. There does seem to be a dispute about the quality of the edits being made, but that seems to be a content or stylistic issue. Michepman (talk) 00:20, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Just got home, good to see some decent input here. As I mentioned in my initial statement here, there may not technically be a violation of this very bespoke restriction, even though the edits in question don't actually improve articles. What I didn't mention is that this restriction, and one other restriction regarding mass article creation, are the final artifacts of a years-long effort to get Rich to stop making these mass edits of dubious value without a prior consensus. This has already been the subject of an arbcom case, and Rich was desysoped and prohibited from using any sort of automated tools for a number of years. It is therefore more than safe to assume he was aware that deciding all on his own that a certain word was now verboten and just running some sort of process to remove it entirely from thousands of mainspace articles very well might be seen as disruptive. I feel like given his reaction so far it is important for all participants to understand that this is not as out-of-the-blue as he is acting like it is. Nobody should be able to decide all their own that a certain word is always wrong and make mass changes like this, and there's no possible way any thought is going into the individual edits,there are simply too many too fast. Rich is apparently quite upset that upset I didn't talk to him first, but given his past history and previous extreme WP:IDHT behavior around exactly this type of issue that simply didn't seem to be an effective way of dealing with it. Beeblebrox (talk) 05:04, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- I'm not happy with the narrative you are spinning here. You are the person who has refused to engage in a collegial manner, closing down discussion with me both here and on your talk page. It's clear, and should have been clear to you before you posted that this is not a violation. Therefore even mentioning that is an attempt to poison the well, as indeed is most of your post above.
- As seems to be the consensus, we can have a discussion about the use of language in articles, by all means. When I attempted to engage you about this, you shut down the discussion.
- I cannot help you unless you are prepared to engage in with me on what your substantive issue is. I am prepared to wait until you are less busy, in a few days, my talk page is always open.
- All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 09:00, 6 January 2020 (UTC).
- We do not need an RfC to know that it is highly disruptive for an editor to decide to change thousands of articles from "residing" to "living" without prior discussion. I see a claim of "thousands" above—is it really that many? I assume there has been no prior discussion—is that correct? What about the fact that edits like this are marked minor? An edit that is cosmetic is prohibited, and it's hard to envisage what other kind of routine edit should be flagged as minor—changing a word is definitely not minor. Johnuniq (talk) 09:34, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- It seems absurd to be condemned for making a change both because it is not minor, and also because it is too minor. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 13:16, 6 January 2020 (UTC).
- At a quick count, it is indeed between 8,000 and 9,000 American localities over the last few days, yes. Black Kite (talk) 18:19, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Note that the AWB change of replacing "commonscat" with "commons category", a rather pointless change already made on thousands of pages and probably scheduled for thousands more (commonscat is, after all these changes, still used on more than 100,000 pages, without causing any issues or problems), was added by Rich Farmbrough himself to the AWB page in September 2019 [261]. This is basically an editor deciding themselves which edits don't violate their editing restriction by putting it in the AWB list first, and then making the edits. Either remove the restriction or reverse his mostly unnecessary AWB list additions and prohibit him from editing that page as well. It should be trimmed back down to only list incorrect template redirects (typos or confusing, unclear names). "Before adding a rule here you must ensure that there is consensus in favour of the template renaming.", which doesn't seem to exist for most or all of the additions made by Rich Farmbrough on that page over the last year95% of these changes. Fram (talk) 11:16, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Of course you don't mention that this was removed by you along with almost everything else there. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 13:12, 6 January 2020 (UTC).
- More than 2 1/2 years before you reinstated it. And I discussed my edits on the talk page, and most things I removed were approved by two others (with no objections), and the remainder was restored. Previous discussions (at e.g. ANI and AN) had shown that these unnecessary template replacements (from one very commonly used version, like "commonscat", to another) were seen as disruptive (flooding watchlists and page histories without an actual benefit) and had lead to blocks and other sanctions. Fram (talk) 14:36, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Wait – an editor who is subject to the above-quoted restriction is still able to add stuff to AWB?! That seems like gaming the system. I mean, the language is
excepting those changes that are built-in to stock AWB
, and that's totally defeated if someone subject to such a restriction is able to add built-in stock changes to AWB. – Levivich 15:36, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Remove AWB access? Seems like the path of least resistance forward. There's blatant gaming here, and if it's being managed through AWB, then this seems like a simple way to resolve it. Maybe some other wording about using tools to make (semi-)automated edits should be added. Just a thought. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 15:23, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Eh - quite apart from the thousands of pointless US location edits, I hadn't realised that RF had actually added that change to the built-ins. That's gaming the system. Agree - remove AWB. Enough is enough. Black Kite (talk) 18:22, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

- Support withdrawal of AWB, but it doesn’t go far enough, if that’s some sort of tacit permission by omission of mention of manual edits. I recall a well-known 2015 case involving rapid-fire edits, where in response to accusations of bot-assisted editing, the protagonist said this: I have not been using any automated processes or bots. I am simply a fast typist. I apologize again... [and] promise not to do so again. (full ANI discussion) The main issue in question in that case was very different than in this one; the one aspect where the two are similar is in the use of rapid-fire editing in pursuit of a questionable goal for which the user had already been warned or sanctioned before. In the earlier case, the user understood the issue, and apologized repeatedly. What’s striking to me in this case, is that I’m not seeing understanding or apology, but only hunkering down, pushback, and argumentation. If AWB is withdrawn, the same reasoning should apply to manual edits as well; perhaps limited to an "N edits per day" threshold, as was discussed in the earlier case. Mathglot (talk) 20:50, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- I do apologise for defending myself. Clearly I should have hung myself from the nearest lamppost, after posting a grovelling apology.
- To set some context, I rewrote the demographics paragraphs in the Rambot articles over the course of several months in 2006. I was aware at the time that there were remaining infelicties of phrasing and vocabulary. It seemed unexceptional to resolve one of them.
- We now have a situation where the denizens of AN/I are unhappy about not the putative reason for Beeblebrox's posting, but half a dozen other things, ranging from making changes that are too small, or too l§arge, to changes no one should have the right to make, to the fact that I don't roll over and die. I am happy to engage on all these matters, though it sèems to me that they are best addressed in appropriate fora.
- All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 01:25, 7 January 2020 (UTC).
- Rich, this sort of comment is why I came here instead of talking to you first. I don't see this at all as being about Beeblebrox -vs- Rich. I remember fondly when we met in person several years ago,and you seem like a genuinely nice guy, but you have a long-term pattern of making highly questionable mass edits like this, and editing restrictions and arbcom cases have been necessary to curtail them in the past, so just opening a thread on your talk page seemed highly unlikely to bring about a successful resolution. And as I've said all along, it may not (at this point I suppose we can say probably is not) technically be in violation of the elaborately worded editing restriction, but I believe these edits violate the spirit of these restrictions, as well as others you've managed to have rescinded, in that the point of all of them was to get you to stop doing exactly this sort of thing. And I think Blak Kite's observation above is particularly relevant, in that you gave yourself permission for an exemption to your own restrictions. Very clever, but not very smart, and certainly not helpful. Beeblebrox (talk) 03:32, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- I was reviewing my talk page for March 2006, back when I was doing a lot on Wikipedia. At that point I was getting messages every day, some of them raising issues. They were pretty much all resolved in a very short timescale, either because I could explain why what I was doing was correct, or because I could quickly fix the issue.
- We could have had a conversation about this which would have run, I imagine, something like this:
- <Beeblebrox> Hey Rich, I think you are breaking your editing restriction here. It says ....
- <Rich> Thank for letting me know, this is within the restriction because...
- <Beeblebrox> Hmm. Well I'm still not happy because....
- Then you would have said, I hope, what it is that you are unhappy about. And it's not clear from what you have written what that is. It really can't be all the things you have mentioned, it seems to me. Perhaps it is because your watch list got busy. Perhaps you have concerns about rapid editing. Perhaps you think changing "residing" to "living" is a really bad idea. I don't think it can really be a gestalt of all of these, and the, perhaps four or five, other things you have mentioned.
- All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 09:30, 7 January 2020 (UTC).
- But would you have replied or taken any notice, Rich Farmbrough? When I asked you on your talk-page about two edits that appeared to me cosmetic only (one of which I was quite wrong about, sorry!), you didn't even acknowledge. The other was this; what visible difference did that edit make to the displayed text of the article?
- Anyway, support removal of AWB, and also a blanket restriction on making rapid-fire bot-like edits of any kind, by any means. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:51, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- A talk page stalker kindly replied 11 minutes later. I am sorry I didn't add a personal note confirming that they were correct, I will try to do better in future. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 22:10, 7 January 2020 (UTC).

- AWB access is controlled via Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage, right? Rich Farmbrough is not listed on that page. I don't understand why he's been editing Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Template redirects if he doesn't even have access to AWB. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 18:15, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- Question for NinjaRobotPirate, I'm not going to get involved in this discussion, but your question stuck out for me and it's worth investigating. There is an AutoWikiBrowser (AWB) user right, which the subject of this ANI thread does not appear to have. However, the subject has a number of other user privileges. Is it possible that the subject can be using AWB to perform editing actions using those other user rights? Still, I'm not sure how he's getting past the editing throttle without AWB. A curious question indeed and one worthy of investigation. --Doug Mehus T·C 18:44, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- There isn't actually a user right for AWB. AWB checks to see if you're an admin or your username is listed on Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage. If you're not authorized to use AWB, you could still run an unapproved bot, though. WP:BOTPOL is the applicable policy for that. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 19:21, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- NinjaRobotPirate, Oh, interesting. I thought I had seen AutoWikiBrowser or AWB in the user rights' log, though. I could be remembering incorrectly, though. I wonder how he is able to get around the edit throttle then? If you don't have AWB, aren't you limited to a certain number of edits per minute or something? Do any of the other user rights bypass the throttle? I know you're busy, Primefac, but if you have time for a quick reply to shed some insight on how it works, it'd be helpful. --Doug Mehus T·C 19:29, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- You are correct, Rich does not have AWB access and even if he did AWB is essentially rate-limited just based on how the script works; bots making simple edits to small pages can sometimes get to 30 pages per minute, and maybe 40 if it's a slow editing day. However, that throttle is somewhat program-created; there are scripts that users can install that essentially allow bot-like editing by pre-loading a bunch of pages and/or "auto-clicking" a save button. I would guess (though this is pure speculation) that he has such a script running, but I do know that his monobok page has code that automatically changes some of the things mentioned in this discussion without him even having to think about it (pretty much the same as AWB's auto-fixes).

- (Non-administrator comment) Support removal of AWB access per above. I also agree with Justlettersandnumbers that Rich should be restricted from making rapid-fire bot-like edits of any kind (except when reverting vandalism). And seeing as Rich continued to defend his actions until there was support for the removal of AWB access, it wouldn't have mattered anyway if Beelebrox had brought this to Rich's talk page instead of here, it wouldn't have mattered anyway. That being said, Rich's comments have strengthened Beeblebrox's case —not worsened it— that starting this thread was absolutely necessary. I think Beeblebrox did the right thing by bringing this to the wider community instead of trying to deal with it himself, given what's been showing to be ongoing behavior. My suggestion to Rich is that he concentrates more on other areas of the project —like fighting vandalism, contributing content, fixing typos, etc— that way he can still make use of his time here without his past problems resurfacing. Rich can always have his AWB access reinstated if he's able to show that he's learned from the behavior that got it taken away to begin with—that is after he's focused on other areas of the project for so long.—Mythdon (talk • contribs) 19:29, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- Question for Rich Farmbrough – Though I commented above, I wanted to do a little more research before !voting on the #Formal proposal below. This is what I found looking more closely at RF's contribs:
- Round 1: 102 edits in 5 hours (Jan 2 15:03 – Jan 2 20:11) = 20 edits per hour = 1 edit every 3 minutes. [262]
- Round 2: 190 edits in 38 minutes (Jan 3 21:20 – Jan 3 21:58) = 5 edits per minute = 1 edit every 12 seconds [263]
- Round 3: 4,500 edits in 5 hours (Jan 4 21:51 [264] – Jan 5 02:54 [265]) (9 pages of contribs @ 500/page) = 900 edits per hour = 15 edits per minute = 1 edit every 4 seconds. Peaks at 20 edits/min or 1 edit every 3 seconds.
- Round 4: 3,750 edits in 8 hours (Jan 5 11:41 [266] – Jan 5 19:55 [267]) (7.5 pages of contribs @ 500/page) = 468.75 edits per hour = 7.8 edits per minute = 1 edit every 7.7 seconds
- Each of these 8,500 or so edits changes "residing" to "living", plus a few minor corrections here and there. All of them have the edit summary "clean up". None of them have an WP:AWB tag, nor a WP:JWB link in the edit summary. @Rich Farmbrough: how did you make these edits? What tool or script did you use? – Levivich 19:04, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- For the record as of the time of this writing Rich does not have AWB access, but his monobook does contain a lot of the same "genfixes" for template redirects. I won't bother pinging all those who have implied he's been using it, but I thought I would mention it since it seems to be of concern. Primefac (talk) 21:11, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
Formal proposal
| There is consensus to enact this revised editing restriction. Barkeep49 (talk) 01:43, 12 January 2020 (UTC) |
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Based on how this discussion has progressed I propose the following:
Rich Farmbrough is not permitted to make any mass changes to articles, broadly construed, and regardless of editing method, cosmetic or not, without a demonstrable consensus from the community that he is explicitly permitted to do so. Further, he is entirely prohibited from using Auto Wiki Browser or directly making any edits to Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Template redirects or any other page related to the governance and use of automated or semi-automated tools. Any such changes desired must be proposed on the appropriate talk page, and may only be enacted by other parties. This sanction does not replace or nullify other pre-existing sanctions on this user, and may be appealed no sooner than one year from the date it was approved by the community.
This should curtail this issue and eliminate the sort of gaming/end running that has apparently been going on with the previous overly-wordy, overly specific sanction. Beeblebrox (talk) 05:00, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- Basically this is a ban from editing. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 22:04, 9 January 2020 (UTC).
- (Non-administrator comment) Support per the reasoning I've already given here and here. Since it's gone the direction of a formal proposal, it's better to have all the ducks in a row and cover all the bases than for the reverse to happen—a repeat. Seeing as this proposal is just a formality to what's already been the outcome of this discussion, a formal proposal will have more teeth than anyone (whether they're going around looking for this issue or not) starting an infinite amount of ANI threads about this same exact issue—and I've noticed this happens all the time on AN/ANI these wiki days. I feel as if we as a community shouldn't have to keep discussing the same exact issue dozens of times before we finally decide to do something about it.—Mythdon (talk • contribs) 05:38, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

- The martyr complex isn't doing you any favors Rich. The proposed language is meant to be copied to WP:RESTRICT if and when it gains consensus, so it should contain a link to your username. There was no reason to ping you and no nefarious reason for not doing so. Nobody is trying to murder you or drive you to hang yourself. Beeblebrox (talk) 02:42, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- I just happened across this today, relating to an issue an open-source author had with Pay-pal. I think perhaps if you read it you will understand that that is pretty much how I feel.
- Certainly there are people who would like nothing better than to end my wiki-life, if you had watched the wiki closely you would know that there has been significant real life risk too. But saying someone is sticking the knife in, is not meant to be understood in a literal way, which you must surely know.
- You posted a screed here which accuses me of many things. Rather than addressing them, you spin out more accusations, that "I would respond like that" - am I not allowed to point out that your leading position is, on it's face wrong? that I have a "martyr complex", that I am guilty of IDHT, that I am going on a jihad. It doesn't matter how many accusations you add, they do not address the issue, moreover they make this discussion more poisonous, because people will assume that you are correct, and will ignore the mollifying constructs, like "basically decent" and net positive".
- I still would like you to identify what the actual problem is - i.e. what made you unhappy, and approach me about that. It seems to have been a watchlist concern.

- Support, though if we could line up the same ducks with rather fewer words that would be good :). What I am only just beginning to understand is that this is already a repeat, or rather just one in a long series of repeats; Rich Farmbrough has an extensive block history including a one-year site-ban, and almost all of those blocks are apparently for misuse of automated editing. It also appears that he's been using AWB without authorisation (no idea how that is possible, but we definitely need to make sure that it can't ever happen again), and editing the AWB documentation. This is the minimum remedy in the circumstances. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:25, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

- Support, although it may need to be tweaked or expanded to simply disallow all edits with the appearance of being script-made or -assisted. His edits are officially not done by AWB, but by presumably some personal copy / version of it, so disallowing the use of AWB won't make much of a difference. Basically, this looks way too much like a return to the habits that caused the initial discussions and sanctions. Looking at some of his latest edits, you get a series of 9 edits to PANTA, which make the usual minor improvements, including dubious ones like changing "Santa Clara, California, United States" to " Santa Clara, California, United States", adds links to disambiguation pages like HP and SGI, and leave the main problems with the page in place (like the claim that "PANTA Systems is the only data warehouse appliance vendor to validate their claims of high perform, high availability and low cost with an externally verified world record.", where they changed the bare url to a ref, but didn't notice that that ref actually contradicts the claim). Worse is what happened in the 4 edits to European Datawarehouse, which make again some minor improvements, but at the same time introduces unexplainable errors like changing "Dutch Securitisation Association" to "Dutch SecuritisationAssociation", "Instituto de Crédito Oficial" to "Instituto de CréditoOficial", "Moody's Group Cyprus Limited" to "Moody's Group CyprusLimited", and "Société Générale S.A." to "Société GénéraleS.A.". If, after four edits, you add about as much errors as you have removed, then you shouldn't have bothered making these edits in the first place. Fram (talk) 09:20, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- Lets just look at the PANTA article, Apart from the fact the WP:NOT COMPULSORY, your reading of the reference is way off. It is obvious that the withdrawal was dated 2012, way after PANTA folded. That is the reason I didn't remove this as puff straight away. There is a huge document attached which I skimmed, and decided was not something I was going to read in detail. However because you are being your usual self, which I recall you have promised not to be, I spent 60 seconds with the archive to add a link to the page as it was nearer the time the reference was added, and another 60 seconds with Google to establish the basis of the claim, which, as far as a world record goes, seems valid. The sentence is still puff, and I'm sure that someone will fix that soon. They will not be able to do it if their time is taken up with oppositional Wikipedians.

- Support altho I find it frankly hilarious someone who is restricted from doing high speed mass edits (except those built in to AWB) precisely because their judgement about mass edits can't be trusted - is allowed to alter/add tasks to AWB on their own judgement. That's a huge oversight failure on the communities part in regards to who can change/use AWB and needs to be tightened up. This btw JLAN is why we can't have simple restrictions with Rich, he just has no intention of abiding by them unless every loophole is closed down. Almost everyone else would understand 'Don't make minor/trivial edits to masses of articles without gaining consensus first'. Only in death does duty end (talk) 22:34, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

- Support (non-admin comment) – In June 2012, 13 arbitrators voted a 30-day block (9–3), based on the understanding that despite being indefinitely prohibited from doing so, Rich Farmbrough made automated edits in breach of the sanction on 31 May 2012 with the proviso (C iv) that If Rich Farmbrough breaches the automation prohibition again... he will likely be site-banned indefinitely with at least twelve months... before he may request the Committee reconsider. After two other blocks (November, January), RF was blocked for a year in March 2013 for AE of previous sanctions. And here we are again, for essentially the same thing. And the only thing under discussion is an AWB/rapid-fire edit restriction? Of course that should be supported, but it seems a minimum bar and very lenient given the history. No doubt there are countervailing positives I’m not aware of; several editors in the various Arb discussions mentioned RF’s considerable contributions to the encyclopedia, and perhaps that is a mitigating factor in stronger enforcement. Mathglot (talk) 20:09, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- Support - RFs statement above that this amounts to a ban from editing, unfortunately, makes this more necessary, because it appears that RF is saying that they can't be bothered to edit manually the way some of us do. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:35, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- There has been no effort to discuss this change, I spent 2 months in 2006 improving the wording of the US Census 2000 articles, which there was consensus for. There are still several badly phrased parts. Of course if you want to fix them all at one per day for the next 100 years, you could do that, of if you don't care you can just leave them. I seems that very few people give a damn about these articles.
- And I certainly do a lot of manual edits, I am a person who can be bothered, and I can be bothered to work on many areas of Wikipedia.
- The reason I say this amounts to an effective ban is that I was blocked for a year for manually fixing quotation marks in a draft to help a newbie. I believe the argument was that using search and replace constitutes automation. Phrases like "any mass changes to articles, broadly construed," would be subject to the same overreaching interpretation.
- Hope that helps.
- All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 18:06, 11 January 2020 (UTC).
- You know, Rich, you’re a pretty effective advocate for your own cause, in your calm apparent voice of reason. But really, it’s just more pushback, minimizing, and IDHT, isn’t it?
- RF: "I was blocked for a year for manually fixing quotation marks in a draft to help a newbie." Goodness, that does seem highly excessive, the way you phrase it!
What RF was actually blocked for, excerpted from ArbCom enforcement action |
|---|
| The restriction at issue was imposed on Rich Farmbrough – with his agreement – in lieu of a full site ban ([268]). He obtained the first, two-week block for violating a similar community restriction ([269]) in November 2013. He then violated the restriction in January 2013 and remained blocked for it until 19 March 2013, but proceeded to commit the next violation as soon as three days later, on 22 March. In addition, Rich Farmbrough continues to argue that the restriction should not apply because his edits are beneficial ([270]). In view of all this, I believe that he has no intention of complying with the restriction unless forced to do so, which we can only do by blocking him. Considering that not even a two-months block has deterred him from re-offending three days later, and that he was saved from an indefinite site ban only by agreeing to the restrictions he has now proceeded to violate, I conclude that the block should be of the maximum duration allowed by the decision's enforcement provision, i.e., one year. |
- Mathglot (talk) 19:38, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- I argued no such thing. I argued that the restriction was a poor one since it prevented good things from happening.
- Moreover I was blocked for EXACTLY what I said, and simply cut and pasting something someone else wrote here does not change that.
- All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 04:02, 12 January 2020 (UTC).
- Yeah, I've noticed this as well. Rich manages to sound very reasonable when excusing his unreasonable actions. This includes his current argument that I should've spoken to him on his talk page before bringing this here. That sounds very reasonable, and in many if not most cases I would agree, but I knew from previous experience that he would do just what he is doing here, making excuses and pretending not actually know what the problem is, and other delaying tactics, and it would not curtail the problematic editing. It's not worth going into the details but I've had other encounters with him where by the end it was clear he'd not been entirely honest, despite his actual language being painfully polite. To my mind this is actually more impolite that just being blunt and honest in your language. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:57, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

This fairly new user recently reached out to me asking for adoption. I asked them my standard questions for adoptees. They asked to chat over WhatsApp, I politely declined. That apparently wasn't well received by Gaurajun, who then left [271] this edit on my talk comparing experienced editors to the Gestapo. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, and left [272] friendly explanatory note on their talk about why calling things the Gestapo is...bad. They then proceeded to harass Clovermoss by repeatedly asking her to chat on WhatsApp too [273]. The real piece de resistance here was today, a newbie asked for adoption on my page. Guarajun went to that user's page, and left this edit, again invoking the Gestapo, after being asked to stop [274]. They're also going around and removing "Adopt me" templates from users pages using the edit sum "Experienced user". I get childish or troll vibes here, and think this editor is WP:NOTHERE. Several users have already given AGF'd here, and tried to help, but Gaurarjun has exhausted the community's faith. Also, not knowing that the Gestapo are one of the most evil organizations ever and casually comparing people to them strikes me as WP:NONAZIS.

So I have read a BBC article about a professor who had been suspended from medical practice after receiving full-time salaries from two universities. I have added content from the BBC page to Professor Akhilesh Reddy's Wikipedia page. Someone or some people have been deleting what I have added and we were in the edit war for a week. Today I have received a legal threat saying that "Please check your information correctly otherwise you will be blocked. This is because what you are posting is considered defamation or slander and would put this site at risk of legal action because of this. Continuing to attempt to post such defamatory material will result in legal pursuit in your jurisdiction. We have requested your information from your Internet Service Provider. Your IP address is 94.193.85.100." and then "The BBC and other venues have thus mis-reported the events and this should be considered "Fake News" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.193.85.100 (talk) 17:35, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

User:Dalhoa repeatedly making unsupported edit and reverting with little willingness to discuss.

I apologize if this message is excessively long. I am unsure how much detail to include and I hope to explain everything adequately. Recently USER:Dalhoa has made an edit to the Human page involving an extrapolation that seemed unsupported by the source they added (and in which they removed statements supported by several refs), which I reverted with detailed explanations. They they reverted me, ignoring my edit notes (I left several edit notes with explanations) and simply (in two reversions) claiming that my edit was "POV" without explanation (I had explained why it was not). I engaged them in a di wescussion (first posting on their Talk page and then moving the discussion to the article's Talk page), and though they made a few replies to which I responded, they have ignored my latest responses and simply reinstated their edit without responding to my responses or attemting to reach consensus (and the responses they did give did not seem to address the issues raised). In reverting their latest edit on the Human page, I believe I may have broken the 3 revert rule but I did so because they seemingly insisted on pushing their edit after refusing to listen and refusing to continue the discussion to reach consensus, and I have since self-reverted. This editor has seemingly shown a refusal to listen in this and other recent exchanges and has recently shown pattern of inaccurately representing sources (along with a persistent tendency toward hostility and incivility in discussions and a failure or refusal to listen). Here is the edit history of the Human article: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Human&action=history and the incomplete discussion in that Article's Talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Human#Behavioral_modernity
Here is a recent exchange I had with them in which they persistently engaged in a uncivil manner (without making clear what their dispute was) and seemingly refused to listen and inaccurately characterized statements made by me while making accusations (despite my not engaging in said behavior, and my requesting them to be civil repeatedly). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Recent_African_origin_of_modern_humans#recent_changes Another instance of persistent incivility (my first exchange with them) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Horn_of_Africa#Jebel_Irhoud_in_Morocco_obsession
And here is an instance in which they ignored my request for discussion entirely regarding an edit which seemed to me to be an instance of WP:OR or WP:synthesis (though I did not persist in reverting them and left their edit as it currently is): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Homo_sapiens#Recent_edits
In my exchanges with this user, they have shown a tendency to make accusations (involving misinterpretations/mischaracterizations of my statements and other actions as well as personal aspersions of my motives and aggressive and insistent accusations and assumptions of bad faith) which then take time for me to address (and lead to long exchanges that make little to no progress - into which they seem to bring an unwarranted combativeness and hostility). I am not sure how to proceed, as discussion does not seem to have worked. I hope I have not responded inappropriately in my dealings with them or here.
Any help/attention in addressing this issue is appreciated. Thank you, Skllagyook (talk) 00:54, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
Edit: I have self-reverted/reverted my aforementioned most recent reversion on the Human page (which appears to have violated the 3-revert rule) of Dalhoa's most recent edit (while the issue is addressed here/while waiting for the issue to be addressed here). This post was originally made at 03:22, 9 January 2020. But it never received a response, and I was not sure what to do so I have now posted it again (with minor edits) Skllagyook (talk) 04:43, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- Maybe your first posting of this here was ignored because it's a run-of-the-mill content dispute, as opposed to an "incident". Have you look at WP:DR for ideas? Dicklyon (talk) 04:48, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Dicklyon: Are you sure? They (Dalhoa) have shown an unwillingness to discuss the issue on the Human page (insisting on reverting while not responding in Talk, or barely doing so, and finally ignoring me). Their behavior on that page seems to me to be (possibly) disruptive (But I'm not sure what to do because I do not want to continue to edit war - I reverted myself - and they have refused to continue the discussion and have simply ignored most of the issues I have raised about their edit). They have also behaved combatively (e.g. in the Talk of the Recent African origin of modern humans page: continuing to do so long after I had conceded their point, never making clear what their dispute was despite being repeatedly asked, misinterpreting what I had said and seemingly not acting in good faith (e.g. in one instance citing an old edit of mine from October to another user as evidence that I held a position they they knew I no longer held - because we had discussed it later). Though have I tried to assume good faith for as long as I could, they seem determined to do the opposite for me, and have refused to be civil on multiple occasions despite my pleading with them to do so (endlessly making hostile unfounded personal assumptions about me and accusations). In some cases, their criticisms (such as on the Recent African origin of modern humans talk page) have been confusing and contradictory (and have begun to seem like excuses to attack me rather than real criticisms). I do not understand their combative attitude and nothing I do seems to help. They have been very difficult to discuss with to say the least . It seems to me like a conduct issue at this point. Am I incorrect? Skllagyook (talk) 13:32, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- I see some conduct issues here. At Talk:Horn of Africa Dalhoa created Talk:Horn of Africa#Jebel Irhoud in Morocco obsession (the title itself is not civil) and accused Skllagyook of promoting/favoring a particular region. They accused User:Nezahaulcoyotl of the same thing although he hasn't edited the article although he did edit Jebel Irhoud in Sept/Oct. here they accuse Skllagyook of bias and lack of objectivity. Then Dalhoa (who I just noted has made only 215 edits) wrote "Your changes are not in good faith, your are mixing deliberately the fossils and spreading inaccurate and erroneous information around. The only reason you wanted to keep that section is because the article mentions Morocco and the dating coincides with your Jebel Irhoud dates, you were not adding it to mention East Africa and South Africa coalescence, the quote I added from your academic paper mentions coalescence of South and East-African source populations but you are not interested in that," and more in the same vein until the thread stopped in November. Dalhoa then started a new thread asking "if there are any Editors/Administrators doing editings in the background?" and then "If there are Admins with their own political agenda using this page as their playground we need to know." This seems to be about an accusation that the history of the article had been tampered with. Admin User:Maile66 tried to explain the protection but their explanation wasn't accepted.
- This month there have been similar problems at Talk:Recent African origin of modern humans. Here Dalhoa accuses Skllagyook of stalking and deliberately spreading misinformation. Then here[276] of spreading misinformation and "clearing(which seems to be a typo for "clearly" attempts to inhibit accurate information,". Further examples of this sort of comment followed but I won't bore people with them. User:Moxy and User:Flyer22 Reborn tried to deal with the content issue and I hope they will continue. @Joe Roe and Dudley Miles: if either of you have time to also help that would be useful. Pinging you because I've seen you recently discuss the issues. I see that Skllagyook did file a DRN case but that was abandoned because he felt ANI was more appropriate. As Skllagyook has asked me for help I think a warning from someone else would be the appropriate outcome here. Doug Wellertalk 16:05, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

- Comment: I agree that Dalhoa has engaged in very problematic editing. Although Skllagyook has made edits that others have also considered questionable (as is clear from Skllagyook's talk page), Skllagyook appears to be the more reasonable of the two. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 22:13, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Flyer22 Reborn: I know that this is very minor and perhaps not especially related point, and perhaps an odd thing to mention here, but I feel I should perhaps point out (though I understand that you were referring to much more on my Talk page than this; I would assume you were, as there are, of course, other issues that have been brought up on my page) that in the section on my Talk page entitled "Cushitic People Dispute" it was the other editor (with whom I was having a dispute - Kndmn64, now blocked as a sock puppet) who had removed my dispute resolution notice from their Talk page (rather than me removing theirs from mine - which from the language may not be clear) that the editor Robert McClenon (from Dispute Resolution) was referring to there (on my page). I know this is a tangent and likely a strange thing to bring up here, but it struck me that the language used on my Talk page describing the event is somewhat ambiguous. Anyway, I just thought I would mention that detail. Apologies for the tangent. Skllagyook (talk) 22:41, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Doug Weller:, @EdJohnston:, @Flyer22 Reborn: Dalhoa has not yet responded here, but has posted two responses on their Talk page ([[277]]) mainly repeating many of their previous accusations, and now also announcing their intention to file a report on me (and others) at the No original research noticeboard (for what I don't know), which seems to me to be unjustified. Their most recent responses seem to include deflections from the issues raised without addressing them, and they still have not addressed the issue on the Human page (nor the topic I started at the Homo sapiens page).

Es204L: A history of incompetency and failure to comply by simple Wikipedia rules
I am writing for file a complaint against user user:Es204L, for persistent vandalism as well as a lack of ability to follow simple Wikipedia rules. User user:Hurricane Noah has previously filed a complaint on this user for a similar reason, and many notes for improvement have been left on the user's talk page, and they are still failing to meet basic Wikipedia standards. Additionally, their lack of ability to use the english language is evident on their talk page, with claimed 'hiatus' notes having lacklustre grammar and spelling. Super Typhoon Mercedes-BenzTalk to me here :) 19:02 UTC, January 11 2020
- First, you've provided no evidence. Second, the link to the previous complaint is malformed.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:30, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- (edit conflict)Hurricane Noah, could you please provide a permanent link to your previous complaint, as Super Typhoon Mercedes-Benz's link isn't working? I'd really like to read it. Super Typhoon, please see Wikipedia:Simple diff and link guide for how to create permanent links. It's easy when you know how. 😉 Bishonentalk 19:33, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- I see this isn't Es204L'S first brush with ANI, this second link is the one Hurricane Noah mentioned. Maybe this might shed some light on the subject ? Necromonger...We keep what we kill 19:47, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the links, although I don't see how the link to the SPI is relevant. So in April 2019 the user was brought here and Oshwah blocked them for two weeks. What we need now is evidence of disruption (the OP calls it "vandalism") since that time and particularly recently.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:52, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- here’s one piece of evidence: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tropical_cyclones_in_2019&diff=prev&oldid=935158520 I am on mobile right now, but I contacted the OP and asked him to present evidence. NoahTalk 20:16, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- Also, I do disagree with this being labeled as vandalism as it is good faith. The issue here is Es204L is continually disruptive by not providing sources (forces others to find sources or revert) and removing entire sections while rewriting instead of replacing them with new text. NoahTalk 20:36, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- I see this isn't Es204L'S first brush with ANI, this second link is the one Hurricane Noah mentioned. Maybe this might shed some light on the subject ? Necromonger...We keep what we kill 19:47, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
Removal of copious amounts of text, as well as general carelessness
- Whole section removed
- Unsourced material, changing standard months of activity to a different range of months
- Adds a custom message, replacing chunks of text with 'Es204L under construction'
- Unsourced material yet again, replacing chunks of text and cursing for no apparent reason
- Uncited and duplicated content
- Claiming that the season ended on December 27, when the calendar year wasn't even over
- Terrible grammar when replacing a big chunk of text
- Unformatted text in a completely different paragraph
- Bad grammar and terrible formatting
- Unnecessarily changing image width
- Terrible grammar yet again
- Terrible grammar and spelling
- Terrible english
The list goes on. You can see a list of the user's edits here:

- @Drmies: And that's relevant to the topic because? Super Typhoon Mercedes-BenzTalk to me here :) 22:38 UTC, January 11, 2020
- User:Super Typhoon Mercedes-Benz, it's relevant to your report because you asked for admin intervention and I'm an admin. If you are going to come to ANI and ask for drastic measures, since admin intervention is always drastic, the first thing you should do is write up a clean report that editors and admins don't have to repair, and the second thing is probably to try and not piss off the admins that actually come to look at it. Drmies (talk) 22:32, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- Super Typhoon Mercedes-Benz, whatever is wrong in your signature that made me have to do this, please fix it one way or another. In addition, when a thread is started with an asterisk to indent, please continue that format, and indent properly. I start with one, you follow with two--not with a bunch of colons. OK? Drmies (talk) 22:52, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- I looked at three edits linked above. What is the supposed grammatical error in this one? What was the "terrible formatting"? Rather than list a whole bunch of things including things that may well be minor (and then link to ALL the editor's contributions) it is better to pick a set, or a couple of sets, of edits that indicate the problems. I mean, deleting a whole chunk, sure, that's not good--but maybe they had a good reason and just didn't leave an edit summary. We need more than this. Drmies (talk) 22:32, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- In that section, it wasn't too much grammatically wrong, just a capital letter that was missed on 'Typhoon Kammuri', and that is aside the other edits he's made. If you look his edit history you can see that he's done many, many careless edits which I am not spending my time listing here as it would take a copious amount of time. Super Typhoon Mercedes-BenzTalk to me here :) 23:40 UTC, January 11, 2020
- If you're asking me to block someone and one of the pieces of evidence is a missing capital, I think you know what the answer is. Actually, there's two. The first is "no", the second is "present more better evidence". Drmies (talk) 01:29, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
- User:Super Typhoon Mercedes-Benz, I don't know which part of FIX YOUR DAMN SIGNATURE was unclear to you. And how ironic, that you want me to block someone for "terrible formatting" when you are here on an administrators noticeboard with formatting so terrible that it fucks up other editors' comments. Drmies (talk) 01:31, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
- Drmies, and just FYI, I think the problem with Super Typhoon Mercedes-Benz's signature – well, the problem that causes malformation of subsequent edits that led to you making this edit and this justifiably emphatic comment – is that the superscript tag for the "talk" part of the signature isn't closed (that is, the </sup> that should be included at the end is missing). Jonesey95 has fixed the malformed signatures that are already on ANI at present. STM-B, fixing your signature is the FIRST thing you should do when you next log on. Making it less... how should I put this... eye-catching would be good too. EdChem (talk) 10:41, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
- I only briefly glanced at this article, but I see a lot of problems. It has been my experience that articles on hurricane seasons have been generally well written so this is quite a disappointment. I'll try to be more formal with observations on the article talk page, but I do see examples of extremely poor English, and large chunks of unsourced material. I also note the use of citation needed templates that I didn't think would be considered appropriate, but I'll try looking into whether that's a valid concern.S Philbrick(Talk) 02:07, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
Evidence from Hurricane Noah
@Drmies: Due to the numerous issues with some of the evidence presented above, I will be compiling evidence in a different section. The edits made by Es204L are not vandalous, but simply disruptive because others have to correct or revert them constantly. NoahTalk 23:51, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- Original research, unsourced, and unexplained removal No sourcing to validate the 185 mph winds for Halong. The NHC reported Dorian at 160 knots while the JTWC has 155 knots for Halong. Unofficial sources stated higher winds for Halong. Removed a summary paragraph without an explanation. He also mentioned Dorian's ACE as being the highest without any reference. NoahTalk 23:51, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- Changed without a source (done 2X)
- duplicating existing content and no reference
- same thing here
- and again
- introducing numerous errors and no sources
- no sources
- no sources
- unsourced again
- removed all content This is disruptive and not the proper way to rewrite a section. The section was simply blanked without explanation and replaced by a note. NoahTalk 23:51, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- removed without explanation
- unsourced info
- unsourced information
If you need more, let me know. NoahTalk 23:51, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- Hurricane Noah, I haven't looked at all these links, but if we started banning or heavily sanctioning editors for adding unsourced material, including original research, or forgetting to cite, we'd probably have to block or heavily sanction a quarter of all Wikipedia editors. If the user is engaging in edit warring and not taking it to the talk pages, then there could be merit to one or more topic bans, but I'd prefer to see a mentorship here. I don't see anything that can't be resolved through more diplomatic means here. Also, has Dispute Resolution been tried, too? I further note some of the above references are to poor English, which could be a language barrier issue. The biggest problem I see here is a failure to assume good faith here. Doug Mehus T·C 00:02, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
- I don't know where you picked up such a notion, but we sanction editors, including indeffing them, frequently for persistently adding unsourced material. The key factors are the level of disruption and their history. You're not an administrator. Please stop acting like one.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:06, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Dmehus: We have warned this user numerous times in the past and Hurricanehink offered to mentor him, but he simply ignored us. He ignored the first ANI entirely as well. Keep in mind that after being warned multiple times, not citing is disruptive behavior, especially after acknowledging the issues at the second ANI. Creating a lot of work for other editors to fix is disruptive and prevents them from focusing on other tasks. I honestly don't believe this user will ever come to the table and get help from others considering we already tried to offer it. NoahTalk 00:11, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
- Hurricane Noah, That's true, and it's problematic if the user is not citing, repeatedly, on the same topics; however, if it's just a matter of forgetting to cite once or twice in each article across multiple topic areas, it's less problematic as the user makes their edits, which can be easily cited, and then they move on. Doug Mehus T·C 00:19, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Dmehus: It has been on cyclones this entire time, which maybe has 30 or so active editors across the board. To be honest, I could probably find dozens more edits with unsourced content if I looked further back than 3 weeks and in more detail. From what I saw, he readded his own content after it was removed already. NoahTalk 00:25, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
- Hurricane Noah, Okay, re-adding the same content, not necessarily repeatedly failing to cite, without discussing in the talk pages is what I find most problematic, and possibly worthy of further sanction (though I won't weigh in on what that might be). Doug Mehus T·C 00:30, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

Note that there is past precedence for adminstrative action against those who chronically fail to cite sources as it is disruptive, but not something serious enough to warrant immediate action like in the case of edit warring. NoahTalk 01:23, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
- There is ample precedent for blocking users who persistently add unverified content. Right now, though, I'm so distracted because of Typhoon's behavior that I don't want to spend a lot of energy looking at these diffs, at least not until I finish my coffee. Maybe Bbb feels like it. Drmies (talk) 01:33, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
- Drmies, I agree. The grammar issues are troublesome, but not block-worthy. However, the unsourced content is more troublesome. As an aside, any thoughts on how the citation needed template is used (marking the entire passage)? It's annoying, is it permitted?S Philbrick(Talk) 15:29, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
- Sphilbrick, I like that you brought issues with the "citation needed" template. Ideally, it should be placed after the offending sentence, not the paragraph in which the offending sentence occurred unless, of course, the entire paragraph is lacking necessary citations. I would also like to see editors use the rationale/reason parameter in the template, so they can identify what, specifically needs fixing as often I find the template is added with Twinkle when the citation is there but doesn't specifically address everything in the paragraph. Doug Mehus T·C 16:01, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
- Drmies, I also agree with the persistent removal of unsourced content, especially when no attempt has been made to discuss the disputed removal of content on the applicable talkpages. Doug Mehus T·C 16:01, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
Suggestion
Please give the user specific warnings, on their talk page, about the behaviors that you find unacceptable. That's a good place to discuss and offer the user some help. If they continue, then maybe you have a case for ANI. I'm not seeing that. Dicklyon (talk) 05:18, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
- They claimed they understood they needed to cite their content in January 2019, I told them how to add references in April 2019 with no response from them, they got blocked for two weeks ten days later for persistent addition of unsourced content, and after a final warning agreed not to add any more unsourced information in May 2019. What I'm seeing - especially from this exchange - is that they aren't particularly willing to learn. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 11:13, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
- Support Dicklyon's suggestion. Even if the user has received prior warnings, if one or more editors (there seems to be willingness on the part of multiple editors) to coordinate their warnings, the wording of the warnings, and the severity of the warnings, it will make for a much easier, more streamlined future ANI case for sanction(s) against the user the nominator need only to direct editors/administrators to the user's talkpage instead of researching myriad diffs from a host of article pages. --Doug Mehus T·C 16:05, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

Oldperson (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log)
The talk page where the latest offensive behavior occurred is Talk:TERF, in which this editor accused User:Crossroads of having an "anti trans POV
" (1). This editor has indulged an "us vs. them" contemptuous behavior in gender-related articles in which editors he/she disagrees with are accused of being anti-transgender and a "TERF" (trans-exclusionary radical feminist): (2).
I first experienced confrontational behavior from this editor here (3). He/she followed this by referring to me as "transphobic TERF P...S...
" in an editor's talk page (4). Antagonistic comments posted by this editor include describing editors as "TERFS allied with homophobes
" and "adept at manipulating the guidelines like NPOV and AGF
" (5). He/she made the accusation that, in an article, there is "a conspiracy or at least a organized group effort
" among some editors (6).
This editor is very well aware of various Wikipedia policies. Besides admitting to being aware of "the rules about personal attacks
" (7), the editor was made aware that gender-related topics are subject to ArbCom discretionary sanctions (8).
He/she has been warned by at least three editors I'm aware of about making accusations and personal attacks against other editors: (9), (10), (11); about improper summaries (12); about edit warring (13); about using talk pages as a forum (14). The editor has also invited other editors who favor his/her editing decisions to intervene on his/her behalf and help circumvent WP's edit warring policy: "Since edit warring is verboten and there is a 1rr perhaps another editor would consider reverting the revert
" (15)
I responded to the recent personal attack, on the particular article talk page, against User:Crossroads (16) , and posted a warning on User:Oldperson's talk page about the incivility towards another editor (17). The response from User:Oldperson:
"I take notice that you have jumped into the frey in defense of your cohort, or is it a case of a stuck pig squeals. Apparently you identify with my comments and critique. if not then you would not have reacted as you did.. I tire of your condescension and threats. You apparently believe that you are my superior, that your own bias is hidden behind wikilawyering and skirting PaG.. If you want to take me to ANI do so, but beware of WP:BOOMERANG. My advice to you is that you tone it down and cease being a pro-TERF, anti Trans advocate Your bias is as transparent as the panes in my front window.. Maya d'Angelo said "If a person tells you who they are believe them". There are many ways to tell what a person is, other than verbal confesssion. "By their fruits they will be known". There are at least three editors on TERF that do not disguise their POV, as one can easily ascertain such from their edits.
" (18).
This editor cannot claim ignorance of Wikipedia policies. Many editors have made him/her aware of them, and several others of his/her unacceptable behavior. This editor needs to refrain from engaging in any further accusations and personal attacks against any editor. It may also be best for all editors of, or interested in, gender-related topics if this editor was blocked from being involved in gender-related subjects. Pyxis Solitary (yak). L not Q. 09:53, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- Oldperson is very much a problem. Pretty much every interaction I've had with them has been unpleasant. This user well illustrates why competence is required. This isn't a social network; we're here to build an encyclopedia, and this user is not competent to do that.
- Here are some further examples of Oldperson's personal attacks and incompetence:
Details |
|---|
| Personal attacks
Casting aspersions
Incompetence
|
- DIYeditor described their behavior well as
trigger-happy accusations of POV
. [294] And so did Aircorn when he said theytreat this place more like a reddit forum than an encyclopaedia.
[295] As Pyxis Solitary noted, Mathglot made Oldperson aware of the discretionary sanctions; she also noted that Oldperson was warned about their problem behaviors by Starship.paint, GPRamirez5, Jayjg, and others. I've wondered before if this editor is as bad in their other editing areas; based on the fact that they have received warnings from editors that I have not interacted with and that likely came from these areas, I strongly suspect that this is so. - At minimum, I think this editor should be topic banned from gender as Pyxis Solitary suggests. However, I truly believe Oldperson's general incompetence despite being instructed and warned over and over again makes them a net negative to the project, so I would support an indefinite block. -Crossroads- (talk) 18:20, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Crossroads: I partially agree with you. if a block is issued, I would support the block, but not indefinite. I think a temporary block is a good answer to this because I would like to see if this user makes constructive contributions after the block is over. If the same behavior continues after the block, then I would support an indefinite block. Interstellarity (talk) 23:18, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- I'll just note that while personal attacks are unacceptable there is some editing and argumentation which seems at least subtly sympathetic to transphobic viewpoints going on. Oldperson may not have handled it well but at least some of the things that make them shout at least make me raise an eyebrow.
- I'm not sure what to recommend part from saying that an indefinite block is definitely not appropriate in the first instance. My advice to Oldperson is to be incredibly polite to people who might be editing with a POV and to always argue the point not the person. If they are pushing a POV this will reveal itself soon enough and then that can be followed up on through the correct channels, not by blasting them on Talk. I would also recommend that as many experienced editors as possible (preferably those who are familiar with transphobic rhetoric, euphemisms and dogwhistles) keep an eye on the articles in question. --DanielRigal (talk) 23:57, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
Note that I fully protected TERF for 2 weeks. I also left Oldperson a warning that were they to continue to behave in this way, a topic ban from the gender topic area may soon follow. Basically, they need to discuss the content in a matter-of-fact way, while at the same time, avoid speculating on the motives of opponents. Hopefully, my warning will be heeded. Depending on their response, I may end up closing this request with no further action. We'll see. El_C 02:36, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- So let me get this straight: Oldperson engages in personal attacks and incompetent behavior for months on end, is warned repeatedly, continues the same behaviors despite admittedly knowing the rules, and all they get is a slap on the wrist, and is rewarded by having the version which they edit-warred for [296] locked in for 2 weeks? -Crossroads- (talk) 03:11, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- There are so many diffs that could have been included in my ANI statement about this editor's behavior towards other editors, but it would have been too much. Just so you know, he/she accused an Admin of WP:STALK (19), insulted the Admin, which led said Admin to state in the summary: "
Go away. do not come back.
" (20). Pyxis Solitary (yak). L not Q. 03:06, 6 January 2020 (UTC)- I see... Well, in any case, let's see if they can shape up from here on out. El_C 03:11, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- If Oldperson fails to engage the article talk page (doing in so in a civil and collegial way), I will revert the protected page to the other version. But the version that got protected — that was random. El_C 03:15, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Pinging Drmies and TonyBallioni - from the diffs above I see these two admins have dealt with this user before. I also think this report should be open for longer so more with experience with the user have time to comment. -Crossroads- (talk) 03:13, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Until Oldperson provides guarantees that their behaviour will be up to par from now on, this report will not be closed. El_C 03:15, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

- I have only ever encountered Oldperson in relation to the TERF article so have no comments on their ability at other articles. Ignoring the POV and personal attacks (which by themselves should be enough for at least a topic ban) they clearly lack the competency to edit this area or are simply WP:NOT HERE. I won't add much to the diffs above, but just point to a conversation started by them at my talk page after I reverted their change to another editors talk page comment (User talk:Aircorn/Archive 11#You speak nonsense). I basically suggested an ignore them approach unless they started fooling around in article space. Since there last three edits at TERF have been a slow burn edit war [297][298][299] which has now lead to it being locked for 2 weeks they have gone beyond being an annoying talk page presence to actually harming the encyclopaedia. AIRcorn (talk) 07:03, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Given the amount of errors introduced in his recent edit to TERF (discussed at Talk:TERF#Edit request: Fix the italics and spacing in the lead. and User talk:Oldperson#Please be more careful with your reverts.) and the problems with the majority of their other edits I think we need an indef for competency reasons alone. We are all volunteers here and it is hard enough working in controversial areas at the best of times. An editor who can't or won't adhere to even simple editing practices is a timesink we can do without. AIRcorn (talk) 21:17, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- I was quite frustrated with Oldperson when I first encountered them, less for POV reasons than CIR (despite being warned about it: constant FORUMing, clobbering others edits, not using preview, not indenting properly). This last edit that has been locked in at TERF is another CIR example. For no reason it clobbers potentially useful edits by other editors to go back to Oldperson's preferred version. Oldperson does not even care if the edits they are obliterating are by other ostensible trans-allies (in Oldperson's schema). As to calling other editors anti-trans there is some subjectivity to this so we can give Oldperson some degree of leeway to point out the issue, but many of these comments are bordering on the same FORUM problem they have been warned about many times, and are markedly unCIVIL. I will be interested to see if Oldperson is able to reply here to all these issues. As always, I think if someone can explain their missteps and assure ANI it won't happen anymore, a final chance is in order. I do feel they've already been strongly cautioned by Drmies. —DIYeditor (talk) 07:32, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- My primary concern with this user is their almost near constant encroachment into FORUM territory. I’ve seen it on at least a dozen pages. Note that this isn’t restricted to gender-related issues. They’re arguably just as active on AmPol pages, especially those related to Trump. It’s not that they don’t *occasionally* have decent points, or the rare decent edit, it’s the “heat to light” ratio. There are definite civility and CIR issues with this user, and a ton of people have tried to help, to little avail. Honestly... There doesn’t seem to be a capacity for collegial editing right now. That’s not to say that they couldn’t improve, but aside from their grandstanding and straddling the line of personal attacks, their inability to successfully ping most users after almost a year (as just one example) isn’t encouraging as to their competence. Symmachus Auxiliarus (talk) 08:02, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Note that when Oldperson attacked me ([300]), it was our first interaction as far as I can tell, and it was in response to a completely civil proposal I made in an article talk page. I finished my proposal with the sentence
What do you think?
as a friendly way to ask other editors for feedback. Oldperson appeared out of the blue to attack me, explicitly trying to use AGF as a shield and implying that because I asked foropinions
he was entitled to attack me. I think this is one of the most blatant personal attacks I've received both on any wiki. --MarioGom (talk) 14:59, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
Adding this obvious conspiracy theory, that a Wall Street businessman and Woodrow Wilson advisor "financed Bolshevism and the rise of Hitler and National Socialism", looks pretty worrying, especially in light of some of their talk page comments like this. --RaiderAspect (talk) 13:30, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- RaiderAspect, that is seriously troubling, and I am hoping more admins will take a look at it. TonyBallioni, would you like mustard or mayo with your daily Jewish conspiracy theory? And I wonder if there's a couple of editors who can look at Antony C. Sutton, so that the article doesn't merely parrot the man's books. Drmies (talk) 21:06, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
Oldperson has replied on their user talk page: [301] It's just more paranoia, personal attacks, and refusal to change. Combining that with the latest competency issues detailed above, I trust the admins know what needs to be done. Pinging Drmies, El_C, (TonyBallioni already pinged). -Crossroads- (talk) 21:46, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- I remember when this editor helped me in tea house board. He was a nice guy. I see that he has strong opinions, he says he is old. Most of my friends are old people. People even call me an old person because I am always with them. I believe they are usually wiser than the younger generation. I understand why oldperson was blocked but I think that if he appealed and said that he is not going to violate civility policy in Wikipedia then I think he should be unblocked. This is what a wise person would do. I have been blocked before because of civility issue with a provocative editor who turned out to be a sockpuppet. At that time, I was new and I came from Twitter where civility was not an issue. In any case, I think User:Oldperson has a second chance. I hope other editors would forgive him.--SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 08:55, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Blocked
I’ve blocked based on the totality of the above, which I feel is WP:TE or pure CIR. Don’t really care which one, a block is needed, and the only way they should be allowed to edit again is if they can have a discussion and we receive assurances that the behaviours demonstrated won’t be repeated. This means indefinite, as it forces the discussion. Note indef is not infinite. I’m on vacation and about to leave my home country for a week or so, so my connection will be more limited than normal. Any admin is free to remove this block without consulting me if they feel it is no longer needed and that the concerns have been addressed. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:58, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- I support this move. I didn't say anything earlier but although I strongly disagree with Pyxis Solitary's and probably Crossroads's views, IMO calling editors TERFs is a step too far into the personal attack line unless it's something they use to describe themselves. Perhaps saying someone
hasis advocating anti transphobic views is justifiable in some cases, but there's no need to use terms like TERF. Note that I supported using the term in articles without attribution if the sources support it (which the community didn't agree with), so it's not like I have some hatred of the term. I haven't looked at the other stuff but IMO it's enough to justify an indef if OldPerson has given no indication they will stop. (As some may know, I'm a strong proponent of indef even for regulars when we require some behavioural change and the editor has shown a strong resistance to such a change, under the indef isn't infinite, or even potentially very long.) Nil Einne (talk) 09:45, 7 January 2020 I modified my post after the replies below due to a serious error. See below for further explanation. I also added a timestamp which wasn't present due to a signing error on my part. 05:56, 9 January 2020 (UTC)- Nil Einne, I don't have TERF/anti-trans/transphobic views. These articles do however attract a few with very strong activist views, resulting in some attempts to skew articles into saying things in wikivoice that are not proper and to advocate one societal POV in order to promote social change, which really undermines Wikipedia's persuasiveness in the end anyway. WP:SOAPBOX, WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS, WP:ADVOCACY and all that. Oldperson was like that. That is why I keep an eye on that article. You also stated,
Perhaps saying someone has anti transphobic views is justifiable in some cases, but there's no need to use terms like TERF
, but anti-trans and transphobic are pretty clearly worse than TERF. They obviously are personal attacks. -Crossroads- (talk) 15:31, 7 January 2020 (UTC) - @Nil Einne: "
although I strongly disagree with Pyxis Solitary's and probably Crossroads's views
". What a clever way to say you believe Oldperson's accusations.
Before you get knee deep into buying what an off the rails person says about another editor, you need to have followed the bouncing ball from Day One. And in this case, you clearly have not bothered to read the comments posted in talk pages by editors whose views you "probably" disagree with. The irony of Oldperson and others like him/her, is that while they rail against those they perceive to be "anti-trans", they refuse to look in the mirror and see how they can be regarded as "pro-activism". Enjoying the finger before wagging it. Whatever my personal opinions may be, whatever company I keep, whatever faith I follow -- and all the other many elements that make the person -- I edit any article I am interested in as long as there is RS to support my edits, and I don't care if I do or don't like what the RS has to say, if it's legitimate it goes in.

@Pyxis Solitary: My comments about you have nothing to do with what what Oldperson has said. Although I rarely edit the area, I've seen enough of what you've said and done here on wikipedia by myself to decide that I extremely strongly disagree with your views, in fact I find them offensive. (And I say this as someone who strongly questions whether gender really exists as anything other than a social construct.) I came to this conclusion long before I read anything Oldperson had said. And it was in fact precisely because I've read what you posted that I came to this conclusion. Frankly I didn't even know that Oldperson was active in the area. I've seen them editing somewhere before but it was something else (I think politics).
Incidentally, I question your claim that you always edit in support of the sources, again from what I've seen with my own eyes but won't discuss this further since I do not have diffs to support my claims. I'm not going to bother to look for them since I do not believe they rise to the level that justifies action against you.
As for Crossroads, my comment on them were much more to do with the fact that they seemed to be in solidarity with you than anything Oldperson had said. If I'm mistaken I apologise to them. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned Crossroads since I don't have good reasoning but I felt it would better make my point.
Normally it wouldn't matter and I would never bring it up, hence why I've never mentioned it in the months since I came to the conclusion. You are of course welcome to your views, just as I am welcome to mind, including that I find your views offensive. We are required to edit neutrally and in collegial fashion here on wikipedia no matter how strongly may disagree with the other person. The only reason I brought it up was to emphasise that support for the indef wasn't something just those opposed to Oldperson's views felt, but those who may in part agree with Oldperson. Oldperson seems to be displaying a 'persecution complex' so I felt it helpful to emphasise to them, you're in the serious wrong here. Who knows, maybe even some third party readers of these thread may feel this was just opponents getting their way with someone they disagree with.
@Crossroads: as I said in reply to Pyxis Solitary, I apologise if I am mistaken about your views. As for the rest,
I stand by my claimsI still stand by what I intended to say which as explained below, isn't what I actually said and I apologise for that. In some instances it's perfectly acceptable to say that someone is using wikipedia to advocate anti-semitic viewpoints or racist viewpoints or homophobic viewpoints or islamophobic viewpoints or whatever else, to be able to discuss the problem with appropriate diffs etc. Precisely whether it is appropriate in this instance I make no comment since I only very briefly glance at the evidence. But the point remains, that while those may be appropriate in some instances, I can't imagine there is ever any reason to call a fellow editor a TERF. Therefore the fact that the editor refuses to stop doing so, is from my POV, sufficient justification for an indef block.Nil Einne (talk) 05:38, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- I just realised I made a serious mistake in my original post and apologise. I meant to say it's acceptable to say someone is advocating anti-trans views in some cases, rather than it's acceptable to say someone has anti-trans views in some cases. I have corrected this and again apologise for any hurt or confusion caused by my original incorrect statement. Nil Einne (talk) 05:56, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- I make no comment about this dispute more broadly (too high-conflict an area for me) but saying that you "can't imagine there is ever any reason" to call someone a label widely and ordinarily used for people who hold anti-trans views is deeply troubling to me. There may well often be reasons to hold back in the interests of not escalating conflict and I probably wouldn't do it on Wikipedia, but to suggest that someone be indefinitely blocked for doing is such an extreme view that you'd be politely asked to leave many real-world spaces for doing so.

For example, if you repeatedly assert that another editor's comments are "defamatory" or "libelous", that editor might interpret this as a threat to sue, even if that is not your intention.

This IP user has been adding "references" to sister city info in many US cities like Palmer, Alaska. I requested they slow down and review WP:CITE and WP:MOS, but are unresponsive.

The behaviors seen here are exactly in line with the prior incident. I warned him 20 hours ago about bad faith accusation of vandalism, as he refers to any and all content removals regardless of reasons stated or policies cited. He has continued to refer to other good faith editors edits as vandalism since. He's also made declarations they will continue to edit against policy "policy is fundamentally, hideously broken, and I will continue""nothing wrong with original resource", talk page harassment for every editor who becomes involved (Myself, Izno, MSGJ, CaptainEek, Sergecross73), etc. I'm far too involved, but I recommend another block. -- ferret (talk) 22:35, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

I just tagged A new article from this user for deletion as a blatant copyright violation. Looking at their talk page, not only have they had other problems with copyright, like the creation of direct translations from foreign wikis without attribution, but also have been accused of OR /POV. I'm not that experienced in this topic area, so I can't speak for the legitimacy of those allegations, but the copyright issues warrant some sort of intervention; foreign translation violations can be especially difficult to deal with. 💴Money💶💵emoji💷Talk💸Help out at CCI! 14:58, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
- After that article above got deleted, Angel Angel 2 contested the deletion at Talk:Seven Saints. From their comment it becomes apparent he fundamentally misunderstands copyright.

Persistent vandalism from a range of IPs
For the past week or so there has been a persistent amount of vandalism by IP editors from the range of addresses 80.233.32.x-80.233.47.x, which are registered to Hutchison 3G Ireland. Many of them follow the same pattern and target the same pages, sometimes with almost identical wording, e.g. look at 80.233.42.244, 80.233.36.277 and 80.233.32.86. Several blocks have been applied, but new addresses keep popping up. Some of the other edits may be from different people, especially as they are more subtle. Some have lasted for several days and are still current.
Today I've noticed a campaign of adding biographical articles to pointless categories like "Iranian expatriate basketball people in Sweden" that has been going on for at least a few weeks, I can't say for how long. I intend to track down as many as I can but there are literally dozens still current. One list of these edits is Special:Contributions/80.233.37.88. Some of those not flagged as current on this list still need clearing up, as the articles have had subsequent unrelated edits but the bogus categories remain. Is there a technical way to find categories with only one or a small number of members?
As far as I can tell a clear majority of recent edits from this range of addresses have been vandalism. I'm leaving this post as an alert but don't really know what to ask for as the best intervention. A block on the IP range would affect the (minority) of genuine edits from there. Indeed triggering such a block might be just what the pranksters are after. As these are mobile edits I'm guessing the likelihood of the ISP being able to do much to trace the people is minimal. FrankP (talk) 17:47, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
- I see a wide range of edits from that range, some of them outright racist vandalism, some of it good faith but rather noob-ish contributions, some of it quite good. Given that pattern, other than the racists crap (which does seem like one person) it is hard to say this is ALL coming from one person. I'm not saying no, but really I am leary myself to institute a range block on such a range, given the mix of good and bad editing from it. I'd like to see some more input from others. --Jayron32 18:29, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
- In my opinion a one month block of Special:Contributions/80.233.32.0/20 could be justified. I'd encourage User:FrankP to list all the IPs where he thinks the category vandal has been active. That might help admins to focus a rangeblock more precisely. If you click on the above /20 range you will notice that some edits have been revdelled, which must imply that other admins consider them especially bad. In my opinion, a clear majority of bad edits from a range would be enough reason to do a block. EdJohnston (talk) 19:08, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
- I've just applied a three month range block on 80.233.32.0/20; this goes back a long time, and the vandal has been very persistent. -- The Anome (talk) 19:15, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for responses, and the block. With regards to the vandals, I'm convinced it's not all one person. I don't think Mr. Choad ("racist crap") could possibly manage any degree of subtlety, therefore some of the edits must be by others. The edit summaries which have been deleted contained puerile racist abuse. They may be schoolkids - I think there is a correlation with the beginning and end of the school day (e.g. 0845-ish UTC and after 1600). I have narrowed down the IP range as far as I can, the examples above plus the following do span the 20-bit CIDR range I've given, and there are more besides:

- I'm still looking into the Category issue. It really is starting to look very widespread, but it is possible it's a good-faith editor with a passion for over-precise categories like "Actors from Chorley, Lancashire". It affects biographies of sports-people, musicians and actors, as far as I can see. I don't think I can manage a list of the IPs that have originated this particular type of edit - I'm concentrating on tracking them down by topic and person, and that is work enough.

Disruptive threats
Wikieditor19920 (talk · contribs)
The editor has made four false accusations of stalking and threats to bring me to ANI in an apparent attempt to stop my contributions. They also keep posting to my TP despite my demands that they stop posting there. As they haven’t brought this to ANI, I am bringing it here in an effort to stop the threats.

I am not asking for any sanction. I would just ask that the editor be informed that attempts to intimidate editors with opposing views is not proper. O3000 (talk) 14:02, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- This fits the definition of WP:HARASSMENT
Harassment is a pattern of repeated offensive behavior that appears to a reasonable observer to intentionally target a specific person or persons. Usually (but not always), the purpose is to make the target feel threatened or intimidated, and the outcome may be to make editing Wikipedia unpleasant for the target, to undermine, frighten, or discourage them from editing.
- Wikieditor19920 should be warned to desist or face a block for so clearly violating this policy. - MrX 🖋 14:16, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- Comment Clearly not a threat per WP:HARASS#Threats:
Statements of intent to properly use normal Wikipedia processes, such as dispute resolution, are not threats.
If you feel threatened by it, perhaps tell them that? Oh wait, you told him to never post on your talkpage after his first post there ever. --Pudeo (talk) 16:45, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- That's not a very helpful comment. Was it intended to be? An editor is making repeated, unfulfilled threats to a single user in the context of basic content disputes. Whether that meets the wikilegal threshold for harassment, or whether it's just annoying and disruptive, I think it's behavior that is not WP:CIVIL and it's certainly not something I would want to be subjected to. - MrX 🖋 16:58, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
Oh wait, you told him to never post on your talkpage after his first post there ever.
No, that was not their first post there. You will find it in my list of diffs. But you are correct that I demanded they stop posting on my UTP -- after which they posted twice more with threats and accusations. O3000 (talk) 17:32, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- MrX You have absolutely no basis to jump to any conclusion here. This is a frivolous and abusive report by Objective3000. I was ready to let this drop, but now I'll provide some context. O3000 and I were both involved at Talk:Ilhan Omar for about a week. We both strongly disagreed with each other about a content proposal on that page. Fine. Then, all of a sudden, O3000 suddenly appears at a discussion I had been actively involved in at [Talk:Murder of Tessa Majors]], a rather obscure page, to disagree and argue with me. This is an obvious case where it seems likely my contributions were followed, and I think any editor's antennae would be raised if someone they disagreed with at "Page A" suddenly appeared to aggressively disagree with them at obscure "Page B" where they had no prior involvement. I asked him on his talk page how he ended up there and whether he was stalking my edits. He responded with a belligerent non-answer and told me "never to post on his talk page again". I gave him notice that if the behavior continued, meaning if he were to suddenly appear at more pages I was at to contest my edits, I would file an ANI report for stalking. 03000 then proceeded to cause trouble at Murder of Tessa Majors by making subtle changes to implement a proposal still under discussion, which he was arguing for and which has little support, without mentioning it in his edit summary. (The proposal was an article move. Most editors opposed. He proceeded to change the bolded intro to reflect the name of the proposed move, which makes little sense.) Me and another editor raised a concern about this on the talk page and he was reverted. At this point I gave him another warning on the article talk page. He then proceeded to post on my talk page with a phony "polite" message about "personal attacks and threats" (I've made no personal attacks against him) after demanding that I "never again" post on his. I posted a response to his talk page, giving him my last warning about the disruptive editing and. I got the "never talk to me again" note from O3000.
- There is strong evidence he followed me to another page after disagreeing with me on another, made disruptive edits at that page, and clearly won't let it drop. As I indicated in each of my warnings to 03000, I would only file a report if he either a) appeared to stalk me to another page or b) continued to disruptively edit the article mainpage at Murder of Tessa Majors. And let me say that I would have filed a report had he done either of those things. If he didn't, then, as I told him, there would be no problem. Now, for those warnings, he is reporting me. My guess is that 03000 is not asking for a sanction because he knows he's in the wrong. If an editor gives another good reason to believe they are stalking them and goes out of their way to make trouble, it's perfectly appropriate to post a warning about stalking. I really have absolutely no interest in a protracted dispute w/ 03000, and I really regard this report as abusive/bullying. It is within any editors right to respond to perceived stalking with a warning, especially if that apparent stalking is accompanied by disruptive editing. (I realize I've assumed that 03000 is a "he." Apologies if this is incorrect, treat it as a gender neutral "he" if not.) Wikieditor19920 (talk) 18:44, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- Firstly, the editor has accused three editors of stalking that I know of, the two above and nableezy: [307] and [308]. As to why I would edit such an “obscure article”, perhaps I heard about it because I have lived in the same borough in the same city as the victim for decades and it's in all the local papers. Seriously, the editor should stop assuming those with whom he disagrees are stalking them. As for the rest of the above, it's about content and not behavior -- although it contains a lot of false claims. As for why I brought this to ANI; that should be obvious. It was the only way to stop him from continually threatening to bring it to ANI. Look, all I asked is that the editor be informed that this behavior is not acceptable. O3000 (talk) 19:06, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- First, it's totally inappropriate for you to bring up unrelated interactions with editors from months ago, with no context, and put these forward as if they stand as evidence of me doing something wrong. Second, this story has been in the paper for weeks, but why is it that you suddenly show an interest at precisely the same time that you and I began interacting? Can you really claim that you did not view my contributions and find the page that way, or that you had no idea your behavior would give the impression of WP:STALK?
- Second, if you're going to accuse me of "false claims," then be specific, because nothing I've asserted is false. You knew very well that the change you made to the article I noted above was the subject of an ongoing RfC. It was another editor who pointed that out on the talk page. It's perfectly within my right to give you notice of this behavior. Wikieditor19920 (talk) 19:28, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

- Don't make declarations about what did or didn't transpire in unrelated interactions that had nothing to do with you. When an editor suddenly appears at other pages you've been editing to disagree following a disagreement at another page, that's a clear red flag anyone would address.

- Firstly, the editor has accused three editors of stalking that I know of, the two above and nableezy: [307] and [308]. As to why I would edit such an “obscure article”, perhaps I heard about it because I have lived in the same borough in the same city as the victim for decades and it's in all the local papers. Seriously, the editor should stop assuming those with whom he disagrees are stalking them. As for the rest of the above, it's about content and not behavior -- although it contains a lot of false claims. As for why I brought this to ANI; that should be obvious. It was the only way to stop him from continually threatening to bring it to ANI. Look, all I asked is that the editor be informed that this behavior is not acceptable.

- Bishonen's expression of concern in the DS notice seems clear. I'm for imposing some sort of sanction on that, but will not act unilaterally. The question is whether this user is a net positive in post 1932 US politics, or whether they're too het up about it to edit collaboratively. I think they're to overheated, but then I don't know everything.-- Deepfriedokra 02:19, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- Warning that conduct could lead to a notice board discussion is not a threat. However, there seems to be an inability to discuss matter collaboratively, there seems a lack of WP:AGF, and there seems a problem with accusations.-- Deepfriedokra 02:25, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

- I didn't get notified about this discussion. I didn't receive O3000 ping. I simply went to O3000 talk page and found his reply. It is very important to clerify this because I will be accused of following Wikieditor's contributions!. I have been editing in these controversial murder, shooting cases. And just to make people aware, this case is very controversial because the teenager who is accused is African American and the girl who was killed is European American. And I don't think I should say that America is full of racism. Wikieditor19992 acts like if there is no person was aware of this article subject before him. So I found about the article, didn't even notice that Wikieditor19998 was there. I just noticed the tag at the article which says that there is a discussion to move the article. I clicked discuss and went to the end of the talk page. I said move per WP:BLPCRIME. After a while I got a message from Wikieditor19992 saying that I am following him because of Ilhan Omar dispute. And that is absolutely not true. Repeatedly assuming bad faith is considered personal attack and harassment per WP:AGF. I have seen this editor making the same accusation about Nableezy before.--SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 08:12, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- Look, this is silly. I never threatened 03000 nor did anything to "stop his contributions." I did assume good faith with 03000 by politely asking whether he'd followed my edits. Besides the issues I raised above, which I believe are justified, I do not have a problem editing alongside 03000. Wikieditor19920 (talk) 08:26, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

"I did assume good faith with 03000 by politely asking whether he'd followed my edits."
I see. If it's this edit that you describe as a good-faith-assuming polite ask, it seems you have little sense for how your sarcasm comes across. Either that, or you're hoping people here have no sense for it. Yes, I did warn Wikieditor19920 in December about insulting people. Now I have warned them more strongly (mentioning the possibility of blocks) about pervasive hostility and snarliness, and told them they'll be blocked unless they dial it down. Also, that they'll be blocked if they post on Objective3000's page again. Feel free to let me know if anybody should see them disregarding this warning.

How about you and your whole busybody crew fuck right off!!
Back when that happened, it was mentioned at AE etc. and nothing was thought of it. Now you are warning Wikieditor19992 for far, far less. It seems that there are two sets of standards at play. Different rules are applied for different editors depending on whether they follow the house POV. --Pudeo (talk) 14:20, 8 January 2020 (UTC)- Busybodygate is soooo over. What you saw in May 2018, was the culmination of three editors following my edits on several articles, trying to annoy me by changing my talk page posts, and then finally, following me to my unlinked user subpage page to harass me by demanding that it be deleted. For your information, one of those editors is banned; one has been sanctioned in Arbcom cases; and one has been topic banned from American Politics. That speaks loudly to what precipitated my rare outburst far more than some silly conspiracy theory about a house POV. - MrX 🖋 14:44, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- Pudeo, I don’t think going back to a comment in a May 2018 MfD about a user subpage that was a draft of a complex, successful ARCA filing is useful. It would take a five page essay to explain. And it certainly isn’t an indicator of some WikiWide bias. O3000 (talk) 14:53, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Although they already received a warning for the what a dishonest post
mentioned above, I'd point out that this user has been extremely upfront about their low opinion of the editors they're in disputes with on Talk:Ilhan_Omar. Individually these wouldn't be a big deal, but they have been WP:BLUDGEONing the discussion with comments like these for weeks now despite being warned:
- [310]
This is, yet again, another false insinuation that the criticism of her remarks was a minority or limited view.
...That would be an obvious BLP violation which neither I nor anyone here would agree to, so I understand why it makes a convenient strawman
- [311]
Our concern is a balanced representation of the sources, not shielding the subject from controversy.
- [312]
Don't be ridiculous. I said she reaffirmed her criticism regarding AIPAC.
- [313]
There is simply too much reliable source material spread out over too many months for a reasonable editor to argue that the ant-semitic trope allegations is not a prominent and controversial part of her public profile.
- [314]
There is a disturbing and consistent trend among exclude votes that I hope any admin reviewing this discussion will take note of.
...It is a terrible shame that this discussion has become so tainted with expressions of opinion about her remarks, about the subject herself, and with overwrought comparisons to other politicians that have little relevance here.
- [315]
Further, I don't appreciate some of the tactics being used by editors opposing the content.
- [316]
However, the kind of speculating and theorizing that you and SharabSalam are engaging in is exactly the type of behavior that is unproductive and forbidden from article talk pages.
Note that both editors they're addressing are experienced and obviously know the policy. - [317]
SharabSalam, this is not a forum for you to discuss your personal views. You are expressing opinions that suggest an inability to edit neutrally
- [318]
This is all pure opinion, by an editor, which should not and cannot taint this article.
There's also a lot more from before they were warned beyond the one line they were warned for (eg. [319], You already stepped over the line by sneakily trying to get the content out a few months back -- now you're rewording it in a way that is not true to what's reported
), but I figured I should stop there. Editors shouldn't have to deal with this sort of thing. If Wikieditor19920 really thinks there are conduct issues on that page, they know where WP:AE and this page are and how to raise such concerns properly. --Aquillion (talk) 22:07, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

- Indeed. If we want to save space, let's do away with the frivolous reports. What transpired here is that I never "threatened" 03000, I posted two justified warnings on their talk page for 1) apparent stalking from Talk:Ilhan Omar to Talk:Murder of Tessa Majors and 2) disruptive editing (pointed out here by another editor at the latter page). In response, 03000 demanded I "never post on his talk page again" (yet proceed to post on mine by characterizing my warning as a "personal attack.", and then file an ANI report demanding some sort of warning against me. An administrator in this thread has severely reprimanded me for the "tone" of my first warning, which was mild at worst, while completely disregarding this pattern of behavior by 03000.

- I came here to stop disruptive threats. My stated goal above:
I am not asking for any sanction. I would just ask that the editor be informed that attempts to intimidate editors with opposing views is not proper.
Bishonen (no ping) was kind enough to warn the editor. [321] My request here has been satisfied – or at least had been satisfied. Now, the warned editor has claimed above that this is a “frivolous report” and denies any threats. At this point, I think the editor is at risk of compounding their violation. I suggest this be closed before further actions are taken so that the editor can reexamine their edits. O3000 (talk) 02:39, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
- As an admin and uninvolved commenter in this thread already noted,
Statements of intent to properly use normal Wikipedia processes, such as dispute resolution, are not threats.
An editor is allowed to raise a legitimate issue(s) with another editor's conduct without fear of reprisal.

There's a large disagreement going on at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Biography regarding the future of WP:JOBTITLES in which there's a lot of strong but respectful disagreement going on between a bunch of editors. My sole history with this topic is posting on the talk page a few days ago that I was unhappy with the status quo and interested in moving to change that but probably not immediately (for one, I'm currently working on the six million articles push before Wikipedia's anniversary in a few days) following a WP:RM discussion in my editing area of interest.
Several supporters of the status quo have engaged respectfully in that discussion, but SMcCandlish has been extremely aggressive and has repeatedly threatened that I'll be banned if I keep talking about having the section changed. I've noticed that he's previously been put under an interaction ban with another user back in May last year for similar behaviour on similar topics.
Examples of banning threats (amidst many other examples of unnecessarily aggressive talk page conduct):
- "To use an actual quotation, The Drover's Wife's "A fire always starts with a spark ..." screed is a clear demonstration that this is a WP:GREATWRONGS / WP:BATTLEGROUND matter for this person, who seems unaware that 'become an activist against guidelines I don't like' behavior routinely leads to topic bans"
- (in response to suggesting that people who wanted to avoid aggressive talk page attacks could contact me directly) And now canvassing to conspire offsite for long-term battlegrounding against a guideline you don't like? I'm sure we'll see that diff come up again later.
- Oh, please. I'm trying to prevent you eventually ending up topic-banned, by pointing out what you're doing that's likely to lead there eventually
My entire contribution to this topic, which I engaged with for the first time ever on 29 December, is visible on the current version of the above talk page and nothing I've done has possibly warranted these continued threats and aggression. Requests to stop have just been treated with more of the same. The Drover's Wife (talk) 01:50, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Your accusation and canvassing invitation at this edit did strike me as extreme, and I'm not surprised that you got a strong reaction. I'd consider it more of a warning than a threat. Dicklyon (talk) 03:02, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- By that point, SMC had already made several, shall we say, highly-opinionated remarks in that thread. And it's hard to believe the sincerity of 'I'm trying to prevent you from getting topic banned' when it is preceded by 'I'm sure we'll see that diff again.' The level of hostility that SMC has for the OP would suggest that there is more history between these two than the OP let on. Lepricavark (talk) 03:14, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Lepricavark: I don't think it suggests there is any history. The main problem here is that SMcCandlish often creates a highly toxic environment in MOS-related discussions with walls of text, accusations, strawmen etc. Having occasionally seen his antics over many years when I occasionally involved myself in an MOS-related question, I'm amazed that he's managed to avoid being topic banned from the area.

- It's not at all ridiculous to point out that you're topically involved, and siding by name with one of the parties in the underlying content dispute (though mis-citing that editor's position; TDW did not propose removing the entire guideline section, and has even said below that they do not support such a notion). It's not an accusation of anything, it's just an observation that you're on one side of this. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 01:45, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

- TDW is fomenting WP:DRAMA with hyperbolic ranting, blatantly canvassing for people to collude in e-mail to campaign against guideline line-items TDW doesn't like (a diff I predicted might be used as evidence against TDW, and so it has come to pass), casting aspersions that basically amount to a conspiracy theory about MoS and its editorial shepherds, denying reality (e.g. suggesting that this line-item or that has no consensus basis, when other editors have dug up an entire talk page section of MoS history for TDW, including multiple RfCs), urging that our guidelines be ignored without good reason (going back further than Dec. 29), and so on. I've warned the editor multiple times that taking this "give me my way on my stylistic pet peeves or I'll never cease fighting" WP:BATTLEGROUND attitude (which is a matter of interaction behavior, not about the content under dispute) is the sort of thing people eventually get T-banned for. My effort to curb this tendency and get more collegial behavior – a shift I fervently hoped to see happen in lieu of it continuing into topic-ban territory – has simply resulted in me being accused of engaging in "personal attacks" and making "threats". That's especially hypocritical; if TDW considers even a take-a-hint-and-calm-down allusion to ANI to be "threatening", and "inappropriate" behavior for an established editor, and various other "I'm a victim!" things TDW has been saying, then what is TDW doing here trying to abuse ANI to get rid of an opponent in a content dispute (which is going nowhere near where TDW wants it to go)? Let's nip this in the bud right now. Just the fact that TDW has been able to generate this much negativity in such a short time is a really bad sign. Our guidelines do not exist to serve as targets for Quixotic windmill tilting, much less for organizing a cavalry of meatpuppets to do the tilting. Make your case, let people have their say without turning it into a verbal combat, and accept the result.
PS: TDW is blatantly falsifying the facts. I obviously never said anything about anyone being T-banned for "talking about having the section changed". No one in their right mind would suggest such a thing. Anyway, I can diff all this stuff this later, if anyone wants to keep this thread open and examine the behavior, but I'm about out of time for WP today. PPS: TDW seems to be kind of "thrashing". E.g., see this pointless revert. I merged the diff evidence thread for an ongoing thread above it into that above thread as a subsection, a completely normal and helpful refactor (inspired by the fact that people in that main thread kept asking for those diffs when they were already there on the page). TDW reverted with "Please don't move other people's comments without asking", which doesn't describe the refactor (I didn't touch anyone's comments in any way at all). And none of the material was TDW's, anyway. The editor is just lashing out in a petty manner and trying to pick a fight. I almost came to ANI when TDW posted the canvassing invitation, but decided to just warn and see if things got better. Now, out of fear of having their behavior examined at ANI, TDW is ensuring that exact outcome. It's rather strange.
— SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 03:58, 6 January 2020 (UTC)- It's interesting how users were complaining about the inconsistency in capitalization of terms like 'President' (of the United States, not some garden club) and your first comment in the thread alluded to
a really ridiculous subtext to this, that runs something like 'This marginally notable person has a job title of "Social Media Evangelist", and the grand total of three sources that mention this person, all of them newspapers that capitalize every job title at all occurrences...
That's quite a leap. Also, while you and TDW are probably both a bit guilty of misrepresenting one another's words, it is true that you brought up topic bans at the end of your very first post in the thread. And since you were talking to a veteran editor who is presumably familiar with how we do sanctions around here, that really wasn't necessary. Given that you were two non-admins engaged in a sharp disagreement, it was unwise for one of you to warn the other. That's just a recipe for further escalation, which is exactly what happened. Lepricavark (talk) 04:45, 6 January 2020 (UTC)- Nah. Anyone who understands process can let another know how it usually goes and why. It's actually entirely customary to try to discuss a behavior problem with the problem editor, and to avoid a noticeboarding, including by letting the other know that step may eventually be taken. Notably, I didn't receive that courtesy from TDW, though TDW essentially engaged in the same so-called threat, by incorrectly accusing me of being subject to an ongoing AE sanction; there is no such sanction, but the obvious intent of the gesture was to imply that TDW would use this against me if I did not yield to the editor's wishes. Then TDW ran to ANI to file a completely bogus report anyway. Further hypocrisy, twice over. This reeks of the need for a WP:BOOMERANG sanction. Anyway, I did not feel "threatened" or otherwise offended, it was just an incorrect claim by TDW, and an attempt to silence an opposing voice (contrast my criticisms which were simply an attempt to get that voice to be civil and constructive). If I had in fact been subject to a sanction that I might be breaching, then it actually would have been sensible for TDW to have raised it to me and suggest that I might be headed for trouble. That is to say, Lepricavark is basically just making up an "only admins can warn anyone about anything" idea, out of nowhere.
As for the content dispute, WT:MOSBIO has seen multiple low-volume but very similar complaints about MOS:JOBTITLES, all of them resolving to a desire to capitalize occupational, officeholder, honorary, and other titles at all or most occurrences. The commercial job title example I made up serves to illustrate the point that they're all the same excessive-capitalization preference, but without me tying it to anyone in particular's previous proposal in this regard.
— SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 10:50, 6 January 2020 (UTC)- No, I merely think it's bad form for one experienced user to talk to another experienced user as if the latter is an uninformed newbie, especially if the two editors are engaged in a strong disagreement. How did you manage to arrive at 'only admins can warn anyone about anything' from 'two veterans non-admins engaged in a dispute should probably not warn one another'? Do you always make such egregious leaps of illogic, or does it just seem like a pattern because you have done it at least twice in this thread? In the future, perhaps you should not attempt to tell me what my words mean unless you intend to do a better job of being accurate. Also, the commercial job title illustration that you used was a blatant strawman and your attempt to justify it is unpersuasive. Lepricavark (talk) 14:55, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- See my diffs of TDW's behavior and arguments below. The editor frequently makes statements that indicate a poor understanding of processes, consensus formation, and policy-and-guideline matters. Of particular relevance is that TDW seems to have trouble understanding the difference between things like expired community I-bans and ongoing WP:AC/DS sanctions, how and why to do an ANI, the difference between objections to TDW's behavior toward other editors and in regard to how to pursue changes to guideline wording, versus objections to the content of TDW's change proposals. TDW is not an uninformed newbie, but clearly has understanding gaps (especially about things like sanctions), even after they've repeatedly been explained. There's no way to rectify that without addressing it directly, which is what I did. I disagree with your idea that non-admins shouldn't warn each other. Is there a policy or guideline on this you'd like to cite? Do you think admins who are in a dispute should warn each other? It's unclear what the logic is, honestly. Anyway, you're right that the commercial job title example wasn't very pertinent (if the discussion in question is taken as sharply delimited along public-office lines, and somehow completely unrelated to previous MOS:JOBTITLES threads). But it was an aside, and was not central to any argument I made in that post or elsewhere. I'm happy to retract it as questionably relevant. However, it's more interesting to swap in a local office-holder title, for example, which produces the same argument but is more tightly on-topic. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 19:41, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

In the future, perhaps you should not attempt to tell me what my words mean unless you intend to do a better job of being accurate. Also, the commercial job title illustration that you used was a blatant strawman and your attempt to justify it is unpersuasive. Lepricavark (talk) 14:55, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Nah. Anyone who understands process can let another know how it usually goes and why. It's actually entirely customary to try to discuss a behavior problem with the problem editor, and to avoid a noticeboarding, including by letting the other know that step may eventually be taken. Notably, I didn't receive that courtesy from TDW, though TDW essentially engaged in the same so-called threat, by incorrectly accusing me of being subject to an ongoing AE sanction; there is no such sanction, but the obvious intent of the gesture was to imply that TDW would use this against me if I did not yield to the editor's wishes. Then TDW ran to ANI to file a completely bogus report anyway. Further hypocrisy, twice over. This reeks of the need for a WP:BOOMERANG sanction. Anyway, I did not feel "threatened" or otherwise offended, it was just an incorrect claim by TDW, and an attempt to silence an opposing voice (contrast my criticisms which were simply an attempt to get that voice to be civil and constructive). If I had in fact been subject to a sanction that I might be breaching, then it actually would have been sensible for TDW to have raised it to me and suggest that I might be headed for trouble. That is to say, Lepricavark is basically just making up an "only admins can warn anyone about anything" idea, out of nowhere.
- It's interesting how users were complaining about the inconsistency in capitalization of terms like 'President' (of the United States, not some garden club) and your first comment in the thread alluded to
(edit conflict) I'm just baffled at where this aggression is coming from, and most of this is attacks for things I've never argued. I'd like the guideline changed. I'd like to hear from other people who like the guideline changed but might be put off engaging on that particular talk page by aggressive behaviour like SMcCandlish's. I've never said anything that could be remotely interpreted as "give me my way on my stylistic pet peeves or I'll never cease fighting": I've just said that I'd like it changed, and suggested that, at some point in the future, I might start an RfC about it. I had no idea this was even an issue until the WP:RM popped up just before Christmas, and I've not nearly done the research I'd want to do before I put that out. One of my main hopes was to initiate some discussion and see where things stood, and it's generated helpful responses: for example, another user went through this morning and documented the whole process history of the creation of WP:JOBTITLES, which illustrated that at each stage it's been expanded with very low participation, which supports the prospect that a new RfC seeking much wider engagement might be able to provide helpful guidance as to where the broader Wikipedia community stands on the issue.
The WP:BATTLEGROUND mentality is SMcCandlish's and SMcCandlish's own - numerous people have spoken up in that discussion taking the same point of view of him and done it perfectly respectfully without any of the kind of aggression that has defined his behaviour. It's not a matter of a content dispute - it's a matter of knocking off the threats and aggression and SMcCandlish behaving like every other person who agrees with him on the talk page. Nor am I "trying to get rid of" an opponent - an agreement from SMcCandlish that he'll tone it down and look to say, his friend Eyer, for an example of how to behave towards people he disagrees with would do just fine.
The reply above illustrates some of these issues - the mere fact of my discussing the possibility of changing the guideline is described as "quixotic windmill tilting" and the possibility of engaging more people in an environment where decisions affecting between hundreds and hundreds of thousands of articles are repeatedly being made by between three and five people is described as "organizing a cavalry of meatpuppets to do the tilting". Looking for people who might be interested in collaborating on drafting up an RfC proposal (because I certainly don't have all the answers for what it should look like beyond thinking that the current language is not working) is not "canvassing", at least in any negative way. (I have zero interest in getting into individual-article-wars over this - an MOS warrior I am absolutely not.) If we do a wider community RfC and it goes a different way than I'd hoped, then that's totally fine, but five people is not a basis on which one might be convinced that the topic is resolved and should be dropped for all time. The Drover's Wife (talk) 04:49, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- While I don't agree with the way SMcCandlish approach, I have to agree with them and Dicklyon that it was a mistake to advocate discussing this privately. Collaboration on policies and guidelines, as with article content, should generally take place on-wiki. If an editor is causing problems with collaboration then ask from them to be blocked or topic-banned if it rises to that level, or ignore them if it doesn't. Even if you just plan to take the results of your collaboration to an RfC for feedback from the wider community and heck even if everyone involved declares their involvement, or doesn't take part in the RfC, there's still a strong risk it leaves everyone unhappy about the situation. Nil Einne (talk) 06:47, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Perhaps I should've been more clear with that comment: I didn't mean off-wiki so much as "not on this talk page" (i.e. my talk page, etc.). There's certainly no reason RfC planning needs to take place off-wiki. As for the rest, that's why I've raised it here: SMcCandlish's behaviour is a huge problem for collaboration of any form in a direction he doesn't agree with taking place on the actual MOS pages themselves (which is why it came up in the first place), and a collective response from other users to cool it with the aggression would go a long way towards helping along a broad consensus outcome (whatever that may be). The Drover's Wife (talk) 07:28, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- That's a bit better. But still taking things which should be discussed on a page talk page to someone's user page is generally a bad idea. Especially if it's done with the intention of excluding some interested party. I'm not saying it should never be done, sometimes it can be helpful for editors to work on their own thing for a time perhaps with a few others. But that's mostly the case where several editors want to do their own thing separately and then come together and try and stitch together a result. As I said, if SMcCandlish is causing problems, the best is either to get them sanctioned to end it if it rises to the level or just ignore them when you feel what they are saying it not useful to building a consensus. I understand it can be frustrating and difficult, but for better or worse collaboration here means you sometimes have to work with people who's approach you find unhelpful and trying to exclude participants without the community agreeing generally results in poor outcomes and even worse ill-feeling.

- Having read through the entire original discussion, all I see is a robust and lengthy clarification by SMcCandish, which I found quite thoughtful and interesting. I saw no direct or implied threats by them towards anyone, especially The Drovers Wife. TDW was quite reasonable in what they said, but made the mistake of concluding that threats had been made by SMcC against them personally where none was made or intended, and I was also surprised by TDWs apparently unintended broad invitation to discuss matters with them off wiki. Its easy for frustration to come across as far more than that, but I see no case to answer here, except to say to TDW that being hasty to come to ANI is never helpful and was not appropriate here. Nick Moyes (talk) 10:28, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- I can't say I've ever come across discussions this "robust" on Wikipedia in years: I've had plenty of disagreements, but I can't ever recall someone responding in such an aggressive tone in the very first instance. Is this par for the course on MOS topics? It certainly isn't anywhere I've edited. I'm also not sure how I'm supposed to take, in response to me making a first post on the talk page raising issues with a section of the MOS, a strong suggestion that continuing might lead to a topic ban - even in the most charitable interpretation, that relied on wild and unjustified assumptions about what I was there to do that had no basis in my post. The Drover's Wife (talk) 13:50, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- More WP:IDHT and "I'm just baffled" and victim-posturing theatre. How many times does TDW need it explained to them that the content matter is immaterial? When TDW implies that those who disagree with their views are "grammatically" wrong and conspiratorial (while TDW is the one canvassing to collude), that is worthy of warnings that it's a bad idea. Has nothing to do with "what [TDW] was there to do". It's not about TDW's views, but TDW's behavior, which is the behavior that was actually aggressive. This is covered in more detail below. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 18:50, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- You're so caught up in your anger at having to discuss the subject you haven't even picked up what my views are: it is a matter of fact to say WP:JOBTITLES is being applied in ways that are basically ungrammatical, as can be seen by source uses demonstrating that some applications on a much-written-about topics are completely novel and not done outside of Wikipedia. I am not somehow suggesting that all applications of WP:JOBTITLES are ungrammatical. And now, you're going to accuse me of "backpedalling", because you've again assumed things that were way off and when I've explained my actual positition you're going to decide it's just changed from the one you'd imagined I'd had. The consistent allegations of "conspiracy" for planning an RfC that would change the wording from the status quo are getting old at this point. Your continued responses on that talk page were many, many times more aggressive than anyone else on your side, and yet for some reason you keep projecting these things onto me: none of your diffs actually show anything beyond plain old disagreement with the status quo, though I should obviously in hindsight, given your first response, have dropped any colloquialism and started writing in lawyer-prose to avoid intentionally being taken out of context.The Drover's Wife (talk) 22:47, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

I've conclusively demonstrated you're backpedalling, below. And you're not reading what's written; I didn't say your canvassing was a conspiracy (though it is collusive); I said you keep implying those who disagree with you are conspiring, and I've diffed the evidence of this. Ultimately this comes back down to my original summary of the issue: All this drama was caused because someone tried to misapply the guideline to an inappropriate case at RM; that proposition went nowhere, yet you flew off the handle anyway. MoS already has a safety valve in it: if the sources more or less uniformly apply a stylization to a particular topic that is at odds with what MoS would default to, we follow the sources. All this invective against the guideline, all this vitriol toward a nebulous set of "enemies" (2, 5, 3, you keep picking different numbers of them) you bend over backwards to imply are stupid without quite saying it, all the canvassing (at least twice), all the histrionics of claiming to be "aggressively" "attacked" when your behavior is criticized – it's all pointless, unnecessary drama. If people behaved like this every time someone tried to misapply a policy or guideline at RM, then WP could consist of nothing but yelling. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 00:34, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- Repeatedly explaining that there is a huge gulf between the wild assumptions of bad faith you've made on my part from my very first post expressing discontent with the current wording of the guideline and what I've actually been doing is not "backpedalling", regardless of whether you've convinced yourself just as "conclusively" as you did in misreading my position in the first place when you went off at the mere notion of change. It isn't "invective against the guideline" to suggest that it's unclear in some situations and should be amended to provide clear guidance and miniimise the situations where people have to apply the "safety valve" you referred to. Threatening that people will be topic banned because of what you've frenetically imagined they might do in the future based on the mere fact they've disagreed with the current wording of the guideline is not "criticising behaviour", it's just being randomly threatening, and dismissing any request that you tone it down as "histronics" once again illustrates why the suggestion that I could have approached you on your talk page would have been unhelpful. And you're the only one who keeps bringing up "enemies" as a WP:BATTLEGROUND response to my attempting to discuss issues of process and raise the notion that more involvement in these kinds of wide-ranging discussions is a good thing (more feedback totally changed the outcome of the ongoing RfC, even wider feedback would provide more useful guidance whatever the ultimate outcome). The Drover's Wife (talk) 00:46, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- This is getting too circular. The diffs below speak for themselves, as does your behavior in the bullet-points thread below it where you continue to escalate with false accusations of being attacked, and various other handwaving. If we filter what you've written above to remove the dodging and excuse-making and victim-posing, and just focus on your declared present intent, that sounds like progress and I'm satisfied with it. However, "raise the notion that more involvement in these kinds of wide-ranging discussions is a good thing" isn't something you've done; it's part of the community norm, and no one on any side of this has suggested anything contrary to it. So no, it's not a cloak of invisibility you can put on. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 01:40, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

A detailed diff-xamination of the behavior of User:The Drover's Wife
There are no "attacks" (not by me, or by anyone else toward TDW, anyway). Just review the discussion (both WT:MOSBIO#RfC: First mention in the first sentence... (MOS:JOBTITLES), and WT:MOSBIO#WP:JOBTITLES. What you should notice pretty quickly is "Yes per SMcCandlish reasoning", "Yes. Per SMcCandlish", "SMcCandlish is doing such an obvious job of talking sense here that I feel no need to add anything", and so on. No one but TDW has anything to say about my alleged tone. Meanwhile, TDW is being farcically theatrical about about me, about the guideline, and (most importantly for ANI) anyone who disagrees, tarring them as conspiratorial (wait, who was it who was canvassing for an off-site group to pursue forcing MoS into "the right version"?) and ignorant of English grammar, among other things. Let's have a quick look:
In the MOS:JOBTITLES RfC opened in November 2019 |
|---|
|
All of that is from this thread Since that RfC didn't produce an answer TDW likes (and TDW seems to have missed it), the editor opened up another thread here. It isn't an RfC (and couldn't be one, per WP:RFC, because it's not even close to neutrally worded but is an advocacy piece):
In the ongoing, broader MOS:JOBTITLES thread |
|---|
|
And there's more:
In another RfC on the same page, and some later posts also at that page |
|---|
|
Note the complete lack of acknowledgement of any concerns raised about the editor's behavior, the generalized hostility to anyone who does not agree, the sanctimonious assumption of correctness and that anyone who disagrees is just plain wrong, strange conspiracy-theorizing and apparent inability to distinguish a guideline from people following it from people who worked on it back-when, and no efforts at dispute resolution before running off half-cocked to ANI, after complaining that even hinting at ANI is a "threat" and an "attack".
As far as I can determine from TDW's repetitive but rather unclear ranting, all of this pseudo-revolutionary rhetoric was generated simply because someone who did not understand the guideline attempted an RM that DPW and others (apparently correctly) opposed, because all of the sources for that particular case capitalized it. That's it. In TDW's mind this somehow transmogrified into a conspiracy of those "three people" (sometimes TDW says two, sometimes five), who had nothing to do with the guideline wording, and also a terrible guideline that must die no matter what. It's just a WP:CIR matter, if someone can't discern the difference between a) a guideline, b) people talking about and following the guideline now, c) people involved in the RfCs that formed the guideline quite a while ago, and d) one random person who apparently misunderstood the meaning of the guideline. I mean, gimme a break. All this drama, for that? I think I in particular have been targeted because I dared to stand up to TDW's blunderbuss assumptions of bad-faith and stupidity on the part of those TDW's disagrees with, was critical of TDW's actions, and keep getting "cited" in "per SMcCandlish" !votes in discussions that TDW desperately wants to WP:WIN.
That's enough for now; past my bed time! — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 12:15, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Firstly, as per the Arbitration enforcement log, SMcCandlish was the subject of a discretionary sanction in May 2019 banning him from interacting with another user for six months over his talk page behaviour on this exact topic. I'm not sure why he's trying to deny this: these things are publicly logged for a reason.
- The RfC he refers to is ongoing and, as of this morning, had three !votes. That's not "not going the way TDW wanted", that's an RfC that desperately needs more input. This is, again, part of the problem: suggesting that it get more feedback (such as by advertising it on the talk pages of the specific high-traffic pages it proposed to amend) is treated like an outrage warranting escalation to even more aggressive behaviour because he sees three !votes as being a completely adequate response to an RfC and gets very angry at the prospect of someone seeing otherwise. My thread on that talk page was obviously not intended as an RfC but my own comments and a request for an informal discussion.
- I wasn't canvassing for "an offsite group to pursue forcing MoS into "the right version", I was conscious that it was likely some people who may have relevant views were being scared off by the aggressive responses I was getting from SMcCandlish for raising it, and suggested that people who might want to collaborate on an RfC could contact me elsewhere. As someone else said above, I absolutely could have phrased that better, but I've had no engagement with this topic outside of that talk page and one WP:RM and don't plan otherwise.
- I'm not sure what form of dispute resolution I could have pursued apart from this: I want the threats and aggression to stop so everyone can work towards a respectful resolution to this, and all I've asked for here is that they do because it's clear it won't stop unless the message comes from senior editors. I'm not asking for more than that.
- I said from my very first comment on that thread that I had issues with how it was being applied in practice and that it should be amended to make things clear. It would be a bit hard for me to think it was a "terrible guideline that must die no matter what" because clearly there needs to some guidance on capitalising offices, and I'm not an expert beyond recognising that some of the ways in which it is currently being applied contradict overwhelming source usage going well beyond the WP:RM that caught my interest. Because the response was so aggressive from the get-go and the very fact I'd raised an issue seemed to be met with rage, I think SMcCandlish entirely missed what I'm trying to do, and what the take of any RfC I move will be. I do think there's a desperate need for some much wider consultation on the finer points of this because, as the history with diffs someone did this morning of the history of that guideline shows, it's generally been instituted and expanded with extremely small amounts of participation.
- There's no assumptions of bad faith or stupidity, although there is, as noted above, some concern about the willingness of people to declare "consensus" from three to five people agreeing on an issue affecting vast amounts of articles. This is, however, largely a process issue as long as people are willing to engage, but it's very difficult to try and move something like that forward when someone is being extremely aggressive: it has the obvious tendency to polarise things. No one is disputing that there are several people who share SMcCandlish's views on the actual content dispute and agree with said views in discussions. The Drover's Wife (talk) 13:42, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Having been formerly subject to a mutual temporary I-ban != "you're already under one discretionary sanction". Verb tenses matter. So does the distinction between WP:IBAN and WP:ACDS. That was just another attempt to backpedal, like claiming that the canvassing to private conversation for long-term strategizing on how to get what you want didn't mean e-mail and protracted tendentiousness.
- Lots of RfCs do not garner more input than that. We're all volunteers here and cannot be forced to comment on matters that don't interest us. The RfCs close nonetheless and are taken as valid. If not that many care to comment, even via WP:FRS, then that's just how it is. Anyone is free to run another RfC if they think one is needed, and to neutrally "advertise" an RfC to other pages while it's still running, though the result in this case would be predictable (the proposal in that RfC was rather weird, calling for using a completely different capitalization style in the lead sentence, and I think everyone here knows that would never fly).
- Nope. You're just backpeddalling more and more. It's fine to retract it, and it's good that you're effectively doing so with this. But you can't pretend you didn't write these things:
"feel free to contact me privately. This is something we'll be working on for a while"
[345] ..."A fire always starts with a spark, and traction only comes from people discussing the issue. This is the first step, not the only one."
[346]. The only legit sentiment that can be good-faith distilled from that is that change happens through discussion. But that means on-wiki not "private" discussion, and it isn't "traction" in winning a dispute. - For starters, try raising your concerns on a talk page with that editor, without falsely accusing them of "threats" and "aggression", without implying three-editor (or is it two, or five? get your story straight) conspiracies to deny you your pet style, using snide language that implies everyone but you – from fellow editors to off-site style guides – are stupid and "grammatically" wrong, without pretending that sources don't use varying styles, etc. People are often boomerang sanctioned for filing a vexatious ANI grievance with unclean hands and without having made any direct resolution attempts with whomever they're targeting with the ANI.
- There are no "threats" or "aggression" or "rage" towards you. It's weird to me that you'd use hyperbolic argument to emotion like this (after much of the evidence about you focuses on this bad habit) in the same breath as complaining that I exaggerated your displeasure with the guideline. However, you haven't identified a way to change the guideline other than to propose doing every title differently, by following a simple majority of whatever sources we happen to turn up at the time for that particular case. That would amount in practice to having no guideline, which is what I suggested your goal was. It's not how style is done (or can be done) on Wikipedia, or we would have no consistency at all, even within the same category. See WP:Common-style fallacy; this idea comes up all the time (especially in pop-culture topics). Finally on this bullet-point, the vast majority of our WP:P&G pages' material is instituted with low levels of involvement, and it's always been that way. When P&G material remains stable for long periods and is informed by RfCs and the like during formation and affirmed and refined in later ones – as is the case here – it presumptively has consensus (see WP:EDITCONSENSUS policy). If you want to propose something like "no substantive P&G changes without a 25-editor quorum" or something, you know where WP:VPPRO is.
- The diff pile provided above conclusively demonstrates consistent (habitual? I don't know, not having diff-dived your editing elsewhere) assumptions by you of other editors' bad faith and stupidity. Every other post you made in these threads has a conspiracy theory or an everyone's-an-idiot-but-me insinuation in it (or both), sometimes more than one per post. That's what's "extremely aggressive"' and "has the obvious tendency to polarize things".
— SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 18:42, 6 January 2020 (UTC)- The interaction ban was obviously what I was referring to, even if I may have gotten the exact basis under which it occurred wrong. I'm not sure why you're accusing me of needing to imagine a second one.
- That RfC was a call for specific amendments to many specific, high-traffic articles, and yet no one notified those talk pages that there was an RfC to amend them because the RfC's backers were convinced three or four was fine participation. There's no reason not to notify those people: more participation is good, and it undoubtedly gives the guidelines more moral authority when it's proposed to change them down the line. The disinterest in soliciting wider impact on wide-ranging changes is certainly a process issue - and the persistent allegations of "conspiracy theories" for raising it is yet another attempt to shut down people raising legitimate issues with personal attacks.
- There's no backpedalling there: at no point have I shown interest in doing anything beyond working with some other users on an RfC, though I clearly should've been more aware of the prospect for my words to be deliberately taken out of context considering the comments you had already made at that time. For someone who's enthusiastically been accusing me of "conspiracy theories", I've no real history of editing outside my area of interest at all and didn't plan to start now even if you managed to convince yourself I was sekritly up to something besides working on an RfC.
- Trying to raise concerns about the aggression of a user who escalates each and every time the subject is brought up doesn't work - here, just as in real-life. For that to work, there has to be the possibility that they're capable of de-escalating on their own without being told to do so by someone they'll listen to. A statement that I was disengaging from your most aggressive threads because I'd had enough was something that you tried to cite above as an escalation on my part (after again escalating your aggressive posts in response to that). I've got no enthusiasm to subject to myself to escalating rage any more than I absolutely have to.
- You're absolutely right that we haven't identified a way to change the guideline. That's exactly why we don't have an RfC already, why I've been pushing for further discussion the entire time, and why I've looked for interested editors to work with me. I'm seeing cases in which WP:JOBTITLES is attempting to override overwhelming source usage and I'd like this to stop. I also completely agree that "following a simple majority of whatever sources we happen to turn up at the time for that particular case" is completely unworkable. And so, there's a need to fine-tune what we have around the edges so we've got clear guidance that doesn't wildly clash with real-world usage in some situations. I might be able to come up with an answer that gets us closer to that point given time and research - but so might someone else. And that is the kind of thing we could've gotten to if discussions weren't being derailed by the extreme aggression. The Drover's Wife (talk) 22:47, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Please stop melodramatically calling every disagreement with you an accusation, an attack, aggressive, rage, or anger. It's a very tiresome and transparent argument to emotion fallacy. And you keep doing it even after this is pointed out and after you've been asked to stop. I.e., you are playing the WP:IDHT game again, and intentionally escalating by being inflammatory.
- No one said there's no reason not to more widely advertise an ongoing RfC. But we don't advertise expired RfCs (though we might re-open a recent one), and more to the point we don't canvass specific people to them.
- I don't believe anyone's going to read what you wrote (which I quoted) without concluding that you're backpedalling, so I'm not interesting in circular argument with you about it. However, while you did suggest (in genuinely aggressive terms) an RfC at one point when it suited your uncivil rhetorical purpose (
"time for an RfC to whack WP:JOBTITLES on the head once and for all .... the take of this handful of users ... the usual suspects on this page."
[347]), when it came down to it you later appear to have opposed the RfC idea twice when others wanted to do it:"because of the hassle of going up against the hardcore RfC crowd"
[348] (whatever that means),"An RfC is one way of people discussing the issue, but nowhere does it mandate it has to be the first step."
[349]. You made circular, miring arguments that re-re-repeated a lot of venting, then ran to ANI to make false accusations of being personally attacked, instead of just dropping the stick and moving on, or opening an RfC, or at least getting out of the way of others who wanted to. (As I've said repeatedly, I think the proposed RfC is unnecessary and will have a predictable outcome, but that people should just do it if they want to rather than continue to argue about wanting to.) "a user who escalates each and every time the subject is brought up"
– That's one hell of an accusation, for which you've provided no evidence. Meanwhile, my diffs demonstrate that this actually describes your own behavior (which has actually continued right here in ANI!). So, more projection."You're absolutely right that we haven't identified a way to change the guideline."
– I never said anything like that. I said you didn't propose something workable. You've just been a signal-to-noise-ratio problem in the discussions, pointing fingers at others (very repetitively), making false pronouncements about grammar and sourcing (ditto), mistaking one editor's misunderstanding at RM (which had no effect beyond unanimous opposition) as a cause for battlegrounding against a guideline and everyone who follows it properly, and getting in the way of other editors who already have a clear idea what they want to have an RfC about. Utterly nonconstructive and anti-collaborative. You're wasting other editors' time just to grandstand. Same with this ANI report. WP doesn't need "interested editors to work with [you]" on doing more of any of that. Next, it's not possible for an inanimate guideline to be "attempting to override" anything; individual editors might do that, and you should raise the issue with them. The whole reason for all this drama around you is your failure to understand the difference between "Editor X tried to mis-apply a guideline" and "The guideline is broken, must not have consensus, and is really a 2/3/5-editor plot, I can't make up my mind". We are not missing "clear guidance that doesn't wildly clash with real-world usage in some situations". If source usage is overwhelmingly in favor of a variance from what MoS prescribes in some particular case, then we apply that variance, already; there is no hole for you to patch. The guideline needs some clarity work, as the re-opened RfC on a narrow point about the lead sentence indicates, but that's a discussion you've already !voted in. I hope this is the final round of this waste of time and energy. I fear you're going to recycle the same fallacies and changing of your story, and I'm going to keep pointing out it's fallacious while diffing evidence of what you really did and said. Cf. the first law of holes.
— SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 01:31, 7 January 2020 (UTC)- There is no drama around me whatsoever outside of your aggression. There is a discussion I started, which everyone else is engaging with fine and has already moved things forward in a number of ways. The crux of this seems to be that you have an intense disdain for people generally discussing what they perceive as issues with the guideline at all outside of an instant RfC that you could fight against: you repeatedly refer to discussion as "battlegrounding", you repeatedly declare taking the same interpretation as overwhelming real-world usage as "making false pronouncements" and you've just said that it's "getting in the way" of users with a different opinion. I understand that you don't want me or anyone else to work together (or talk about potential ways of working together) about changing the guideline, but that's an attitude issue for you to work out rather than an issue anyone else on either side needs to take into account. If you don't want to engage in discussions about guidelines in which people are expressing views you might not agree with, don't do it and take your (to use your turn of phrase) WP:GREATWRONGS / WP:BATTLEGROUND mentality elsewhere - there are a bunch of people who strongly agree with you on the content issue who are more than capable of doing that in a constructive and respectful fashion and seeing if we might perhaps move things forward. It can absolutely be the final round of this argument in that case - and in the meanwhile, everyone else will work on finding some common ground, or, failing that, coming up with a proposal that can draw as wide consensus as possible.

Where's the Rfc-in-question that has currently 'low' participation? GoodDay (talk) 16:49, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Probably Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Biography#RfC: First mention in the first sentence... (MOS:JOBTITLES). It started in November, but has has very little participation until recently. Nil Einne (talk) 17:04, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Just commented there moments earlier, guessing that might've been it. That Rfc's tag expired about a month ago (mid-December), thus removing it notice to a larger community. It should've been closed & reviewed, IMHO. GoodDay (talk) 17:08, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Formal closure's not really necessary when the result is unanimous, and WP:ANRFC has a big backlog (especially around the holidays), so no one bothered requesting one. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 18:42, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- It's just been re-listed, so no probs. GoodDay (talk) 20:32, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Yeah. While it's true that a formal closure isn't always needed, I think it's fair to say that trying to change a large number of articles based on an RfC with only 3 participants is likely to result in significant pushback. Whatever the reason for the former low participation, at least, again for whatever reason, it's getting a lot of attention now so hopefully a well accepted consensus will develop. Nil Einne (talk) 07:21, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- Sure. More input is always better. It's a bit strange that it's taken 18 months for this to come up, and the RfC attracted nearly no attention for two months, but whatever. The community will work it out one way or another. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 23:12, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

- Comment Am I the only one to find it funny that for all this talk of The Drover's Wife receiving a topic ban, it was, I think, impossible for them to receive a MOS/article titles discretionary sanctions topic ban until this ANI? I had a quick look at the logs, and don't see any sign they have received or given an alert. And from their comments here, I'm doubtful they were involved in any cases. Technically I'm not sure if they meet the awareness requirement even now since this is neither arbitration requests or arbitration enforcement but still since they are talking about it, it's perhaps a stretch to suggest they are not aware, partly why I didn't give them an alert. (That said, I also wouldn't bring a case against The Drover's Wife based on this ANI as an indication of awareness.) Might it have been better to simply give an alert rather than all that talk about how their behaviour may lead to a topic ban? Nil Einne (talk) 16:53, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- "Awareness" requirements apply to WP:AC/DS and WP:AE actions involving DS; not WP:ANI matters. Community decisions and sanctions are not bound by such bureaucracy. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 17:44, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Sure but um WTF does that have to do with anything? I never suggested that they were as it's completely irrelevant to my point. No one has seriously suggested TDW be topic banned in this thread. There was intensive talk of them being topic banned elsewhere. This would almost definitely have been in the form of a discretionary sanctions topic ban, something which TDW, may very well never not be aware of, since quite a lot of regular editors don't know much about the discretionary sanctions as evidenced by their unnecessary concern or argument when they receive an alert. But that would have never happened since rather than giving them the necessary alert, you thought it helpful to tell them how so many people are topic banned etc for that. Even though these nearly always come in the form of discretionary sanctions topic ban and you never actually bothered to give them the mandatory alert, something which as I already said, is not only necessary but may actually be useful as something they as a regular, may have been unaware of. Unlike all the other nonsense you sprouted. Nil Einne (talk) 06:22, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
As a further follow up, from my experience as a regular at ANI, probably 80% or more of the time when someone comes here with something which is covered by the discretionary sanctions process and tries to ask for a topic ban and the proposed recipient isn't
illegibleeligible for the discretionary sanctions process because no one alerted them, the result is effectively 'WTF didn't someone give them an alert earlier? Oh well never mind we've given them one now. If they keep at it, take it to AE' and it's done. The discretionary sanctions process isn't perfect by any means, but for all its flawed it's often easier and more drama free than ANI.So while technically anyone is still eligible for community sanctions in an area covered by discretionary sanctions, it's rare and mostly happens when admins were reluctant to sanction someone or when they are unable to decide on an outcome, perhaps because it's too complex or unclear if it's covered, or well 'politics' i.e. because of the popularity of the participant; and whatever the case the community wanted more. Sometimes it's also use for a more 'bespoke' sanction than is likely from the discretionary sanctions process. It's not generally used when the only issue is that someone thought it better to sprout at length about how an editor is going to receive a topic ban, but then never gave them the mandatory alert.
The MOS discretionary sanctions doesn't seem to be a good example, since despite your claims, topic bans from it seem rare. (Although for the record, I counted 1 topic ban which is I think active but irrelevant since the editor is indeffed arising from the DS process, and none from the community.) By comparison if we compare Wikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log for American Politics 2 or Palestine-Israel articles, or Eastern Europe, Indian and Pakistan or GamerGate, or heck even BLP or Fringe Science, to similar topic bans shown here Wikipedia:Editing restrictions#Placed by the Wikipedia community, well the difference is obvious.
So I stick by comment. It's silly to make such a big deal about topics bans to a regular, if said regular has never actually received an alert and heck may genuinely be unaware of discretionary sanctions in the area, or even how it normally works, and the alert would hopefully greatly help them understand both matters, far more than your comments, and it's an area right smack in the middle of something covered by the ds process.

- @Nil Einne: I don't understand your "WTF does that have to do with anything?" response. You asked a policy question about notice requirements, and I answered it (correctly). If TDW has already been subject to "intensive talk of them being topic banned elsewhere" then this editor's behavior probably needs a more in-depth examination than just what they're doing in one series of threads and one bogus ANI report. I certainly agree that AE and AC/DS would be more expedient, but the user will need to first receive a
{{Ds/alert mos}}(and similar, with a different DS code, if TDW's previous potential topic-ban is in another DS topic area) at User talk:The Drover's Wife. But since I'm the other party in a dispute with that editor, and we already know that any notice, warning, or criticism of any kind will be wrongly spun by this editor as "threats" and "aggression", I don't think I'm the most appropriate editor to leave such a template at that talk page. Nudge, nudge. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 22:32, 8 January 2020 (UTC)- To be absolutely clear, the only person who has ever suggested that I could be topic-banned from anything is SMcCandlish and from an area that my entire contribution to has consisted of !voting in one WP:RM and making comments on one talk page over the space of a week or so regarding possible changes to a guideline that he disagrees with. @Nil Einne:, can you clarify that comment? I'm assuming it's unintended and you were just referring to SMcCandlish's posts but it's a pretty extreme and unfounded personal attack if it was. The Drover's Wife (talk) 00:30, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
