=== [[Bahá'u'lláh]] ===

A editor using a collection of anonymous log-ins and proxies is editwarring on above page being rude and obnoxious in his edit summaries. While trhe subject under debate might well require more community input currently it appears that said editor is alone agiant all otehr editors involved with the page. It is getting quite tedious now. An RfC has been filed. I would appreciate if someone could protect the page. I am too involved in this to do it myself. Thanks. [[User:Refdoc|Refdoc]] 01:20, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

:I've blocked the worst offenders and I'll protect the article if it gets any worse. [[User:Gamaliel|Gamaliel]] 02:54, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

:: This seems to be overwhelmingly the bad behavior of one foul-mouthed user who has a list of open proxies and just wants to bully people.  Michael Snow's approach of protecting the page will not solve this problem.  I will unprotect and watch closely. --[[User:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway]]|[[User talk:Tony Sidaway|Talk]] 15:32, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

::Arbcom is probaby the only choice now there is little more we can do (my block button is starting to melt anyway)[[User:Geni|Geni]] 22:54, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The page is now protected (not by me). I've really come to favour this approach to dealing with edit wars, for several reasons. For one, it bring the edit war to a screeching halt - anon socks, etc are useless to the edit warriors (and no need for us to chase them and block them). For another, you don't have all the arguments over "is this a revert"; edit warriors don't get to use the 3RR as a weapon against each other, etc. It can last more than 24 hours, unlike a 3RR block. Finally, it's most economical in terms of admin time/energy. [[User:Jnc|Noel]] [[User_talk:Jnc|(talk)]] 13:52, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:but that just brings in the timing of prtection requests game. this isn't done much at the moment but if protecting becomes standard then it will increase[[User:Geni|Geni]] 23:17, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
:: I agree.  Blocking is far and away a better method of dealing with miscreants.  Protecting a page stops ''every'' edit to a page, not just the problematic onces.  There are times when protection works, but it isn't a cure-all. --[[User:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway]]|[[User talk:Tony Sidaway|Talk]] 01:06, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:: Geni/Tony, I never said protecting pages was without any downside at all. I just claim it has less downsides than the 3RR rule, and the enforcement thereof via short blocks (I listed several severe problems with that approach above).
:: To quote from someone else's comment, at [[WP:AN/3RR#User:Snowspinner]] - ''this page smells like legalism, pettiness, and revenge.'' Exactly; and hardly what is recommended at [[Wikipedia:Wikiquette]] - ''show the door to trolls, vandals, and wiki-anarchists, who if permitted would waste your time and create a poisonous atmosphere here''. [[User:Jnc|Noel]] [[User_talk:Jnc|(talk)]] 16:08, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:::Just because the wrong version joke page exists doesn't mean that the wrong version thing isn't a serious problem. Ultimate page protection means taking action against every person who wants to edit the article not just edit warriours[[User:Geni|Geni]] 16:31, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:::: [[Wikipedia:Protection policy#How]] does say ''when protection is due to a revert war, the protecting sysop may choose to protect the version preferred by those more closely complying with the guideline on repeated reverts''. [[User:Jnc|Noel]] [[User_talk:Jnc|(talk)]] 17:12, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:::Beacuse the 3RR page is often the first news tha wider wikipedia gets of a conflict. We are dealing with over heated conflicts so it is not going to be the nicest part of wikipedia. The Snowspinner/John Gohde thing is part of a much wider conflict and it is quite posible for it to breakout where ever[[User:Geni|Geni]] 16:31, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

i have solved the problem but I am mystified. perhaps just gremlins? --[[User:SqueakBox|SqueakBox]] 02:58, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)

: Was in the process of reverting it myself.  Didn't notice any such gremlins.  [[User:Alai|Alai]] 03:00, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It looks like [[user:JeremyA]] has reverted the vandal twice in 2 minutes. I suspect your timing was just unfortunate. judging by the history page [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Javier_Solana&action=history] one user posting from several IP address has been waging a war on this article ({{user:65.4.16.211}}, {{user:68.159.159.208}}, {{user:68.159.154.196}}, {{user:68.159.154.119}}, {{user:65.4.16.6}} and others). At least 16 edits in the past few days have been from vandals. It might be a case for protecting the page. [[User:Thryduulf|Thryduulf]] 03:02, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

: For some reason possibly connected to the vandalism [[User:Dcoetzee|Deco]] dcided to keep the outdated text the Beast vandal was using, ignoring the many contributors who have made the article what it is since then. i think this user, who knows why, played into the hands of the beast attackers who naturally want the old POV original thesis about the disturbing rise of Solana's powers. I have reverted the version that JeremyA was unknowingly using to the latest Curps version. Can people please make sure that is the version kept. It is not on for anyone to start using the vandals version stripped of biblical comment without even consulting the talk page. --[[User:SqueakBox|SqueakBox]] 03:15, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)
:: For the record, I was not promoting this vandal. I was doing RC patrol and reverted the changes, but then felt unsure about whether I should have done so due to unfamiliarity with the topic, so I reverted them back. I intended no statement of endorsement for that version. I made virtually no net changes to the article and feel strongly that I was unfairly criticised for this action.

Reported by: [[User:NCdave|NCdave]] 09:07, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

'''Comments:'''
* All four are full reverts to earlier versions, to undo other editors' work (none of which was vandalism).
* Unfortunately, the page is now Locked at TheCustomOfLife's latest (4th) reverted version: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Terri_Schiavo&diff=0&oldid=11680020 08:19, 30 Mar 2005 David.Monniaux (temp protection)]
* I recommend that it either be unlocked (after TheCustomOfLife is banned for 24 hrs), or else locked at the version which TheCustomOfLife last reverted. [[User:NCdave|NCdave]] 09:07, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
** In defense of [[User:TheCustomOfLife|TheCustomOfLife]] I would like to point out that he is well respected and that [[User:NCdave|NCdave's]] obsessive behavior regarding the [[Terri Schiavo]] page has been notoriously childish, and he is far more guilty of edit warfare regarding said page. --[[User:Teknic|Teknic]] 09:40, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
*** I could rebut that, but ''"We really do mean this; this is not the page to bring up accusations of bad faith, or POV pushing"'' [[User:NCdave|NCdave]] 09:47, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
** I don't do 3RRs, but this one looks cut-and-dried to me.  No disrespect to the TheCustomOfLife, but he should have known better than to be drawn into an edit war like this by such an obvious POV-pusher. NCdave's edits would have been reverted in due course. --[[User:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway]]|[[User talk:Tony Sidaway|Talk]] 10:51, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
*** Plenty of other people have been reverting NCdave's edits in addition to the TheCustomOfLife. If he made a mistake, it was the mistake of not watching the clock closely enough to avoid violating the letter of 3RR, and not reporting NCdave to a higher level of dispute resolution. NCdave continually reinserts the same POV material which doesn't withstand the light of the talk page, effectively making a reversion. The intent of the policy is to encourage discussion rather than edit mongering, and TheCustomOfLife has done a good job of working towards this goal while NCdave's recent editing history comes rather close to being simple vandalism, even if it does not quite cross that line.[[User:Gmaxwell|Gmaxwell]] 14:30, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
****TheCustomOfLife is not in the wrong here - he is a decent and honourable servant of the Wiki - it is NCdave that should be penalised not Mike. [[User:PMA|PMA]] 15:21, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
*I would like to apologize for this. Before I felt like I could revert NCDave, who has repeatedly stated his POV on the talk page for Terri Schiavo then inserted it sporadically into the article, I checked the Terri Schiavo history and thought I saw that there was no edit from me in the last 100 edits, so I had just assumed I didn't touch the article earlier. I simply did not remember I did the first edit. I had just lost track on the time after the 24 hours, I suppose...I really forgot I had even reverted that same day. In any case, you can be well-assured that violating the 3RR was NOT my intention. [[User:TheCustomOfLife|Mike H]] 15:35, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)
*NCdave's edits could easily be considered vandalism (they're outrageously POV), and it appears TCOL made an honest mistake. Let the man have his extra revert, we don't need zero-tolerance in this situation. This type of thing isn't what the 3RR was made to prevent. BTW TCOL, next time you think you're getting close to three reverts in 24 hours, tell me and I'll see if I can help you out. [[User:AngryParsley|AngryParsley]] 15:46, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
**That is complete nonsense.  This violation was blatant.  TheCustomOfLife has been around Wikipedia for a long time, and should know better.  All four of his reverts made the article less accurate and more POV-biased.  The four reverts were all within less than 12 hours, and three of them were within less than half an hour, two of which were of my carefully NPOV corrections which I had discusssed at length in advance on the Talk page, discussions that TheCustomOfLife did not bother to participate in. [[User:NCdave|NCdave]] 00:25, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
***Why say things everyone else had already said? Your POV is quackers and everyone else articulated that just fine. Also, if you're gonna bring up the Talk page, people might want to read past versions and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Terri_Schiavo#Edit_War this response] from [[User:Firebug]], which sums up the situation quite nicely. [[User:TheCustomOfLife|Mike H]] 01:14, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)
****Whether my POV is "quackers" (and whether my disapproval of serial adultery or my use of that term is "quackers") is irrelevant.  So is MikeH/TheCustomOfLife's disagreement with the rest of what I have said on the Talk page.  The fact is that my edits to the ''article'' were completely NPOV, and two of his four reverts were of those NPOV edits: his reverts replaced my carefully NPOV prose with grossly POV-biased and inaccurate propaganda for his POV. [[User:NCdave|NCdave]] 14:54, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
*****''The fact is that my edits to the ''article'' were completely NPOV''
*****That's just delusional. Pretty much every user who wasn't an anon IP agreed that your edits push a particular point of view. Ask Viriditas, or Astanhope, or Firebug, or GMaxwell, the list goes on and on. Seriously. [[User:TheCustomOfLife|Mike H]] 20:27, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)
:::::I am certainly outnumbered, but it is the POV-pushers who are in the majority, and they are absolutely ruthless at pushing their POV.

These guys make it impossible to Assume Good Will. [[User:NCdave|NCdave]] 10:51, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:::::::Mike, you did revert Astanhope's vandalization of my User page, and I'd have thanked you if you hadn't used the occasion to simultaneously insult me with a false accusation of "POV pushing."  You have a funny way of "doing something nice."  You have a strange definition of "yelling at Astanhope," since your "yelling at Stanhope" was nastier to me than it was to him.  POV-pushing is what you & Astanhope & neutrality & several others keep doing to the article, not what I do.  E.g., the very first sentence of the article now states (as if it were an undisputed fact) that Terri was in a PVS, even though something like four DOZEN neurologists (the majority of those who have reviewed the case) say was a faulty diagnosis.  It doesn't matter how thorougly I document the facts, y'all just keep deleting them and substituting Felos propaganda, and then, outrageously, insulting ME with the false charge that I am the one pushing a POV in the article. [[User:NCdave|NCdave]] 21:13, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
::::::::Anyone who thinks that your "alleged" POV pushing is false obviously hasn't read any of the talk pages on Terri Schiavo. Seriously, all the points he brings up here have been refuted on the Talk pages. And it wasn't like you didn't deserve what horrible "mean" thing I said about you on User talk:AStanhope. You call it nasty, I call it truthful, something you can't master. [[User:TheCustomOfLife|Mike H]] 15:19, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)

**Unblocked. Reverts were valid. 3RR does not take precedence over NPOV. [[User:Neutrality|Neutrality]]<sup>[[User talk:Neutrality|talk]]</sup> 07:28, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)
***Yes it does. Reread [[WP:3RR]] the only exception is simple vanderlism. This is partly because almost every case where someone breaks the 3rr they think they are reverting POV (amost of the exceptions seem to involve people using th 3RR to get rid of vandels). Now what good does reverting POV 4 timkes do anyway? If it really is POV you should be able to get someone to support you (this is of course edit warriour thinking but hey) the alturnative is to do through the wikipedia disspute resolution process. If you do revet 4 times it means that you have failed to do either of the above and to be honest doesn't look great in front of arbocom if you end up there. It's not like Terri Schiavo is a hidden page which onlly you and one other person care about if you run out of reverts I'm sure someone else will be along with some more shortly (one again this is edit warriour thinking but so is reverting 4 times)[[User:Geni|Geni]] 16:21, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
***Neutrality is one of the worst POV-pushing offenders, ruthlessly pushing the POV he shares with TheCustomOfLife.  Like TheCustomOfLife, he routinely and ruthlessly deletes information from the article which conflicts with their POV, and if that information is carefully supported by references to supporting documents he just deletes the links to the references.  My edits to the article were very carefully NPOV, and two of TheCustomOfLife's reverts were of those NPOV edits: he replaced my carefully NPOV prose with grossly POV-biased and inaccurate propaganda for his POV.  Now Neutrality is abusing ''his'' Arbitrator position to protect his ally's ability to break the rules and ensure that the article is heavily POV biased.

::But TheCustomOfLife/Mike H ignored that.  He reverted it all anyhow, without even commenting on the Talk page about the discussion of those changes.  I tried again, pleading this time for NPOV:

'''Comments:'''
*Blair apparently does not consider the first one a revert because he is counting them up and didn't include it. It is functionally a revert because it changes the meaning of the text from that which is supported by the sources on talk to his own POV.  I have over 13 abstracts of peer reviewed studies and the external link which summarizes the findings in many of those studies that support the fact I have added. I even went with the proposed text of a neutral party in order to try to diffuse the situation. Blair has only one source that does not anywhere claim what he is claiming. He dismisses peer reviewed studies that disagree with him and clings to this one leap of faith that the study does not claim. His edit summary also shows that he plans to revert no matter what the sources say: "00:00, Mar 30, 2005 Blair P. Houghton (third revert; i'll be back thursday to fix what taxman will surely break)" - [[User:Taxman|Taxman]] 14:53, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)

:*How is switching the article to his own POV (again) not a revert? I reallize you don't like the 3RR, but Blair has spent less than 5 cumulative minutes leaving the article in a way he doesn't agree with. The one time the article stayed without him reverting, he simply had not logged in. He makes no attempt to discuss first, instead simply reverts. Reverting added material that is supported by peer reviewed papers is unnaceptable. - [[User:Taxman|Taxman]] 13:51, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)

Hmmm The user has been blocked for breaking the 3RR before but I can't see any past evidence of gameing the system how far has the [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution]] gone here?

This anonymous user has inserted blatant POV comments into the [[Terri Schiavo]] article at least 15 times in the past 24 hours. On at least four occasions, encyclopedically inappropriate comparisons of Schiavo's situation to [[Auchwitz]] have been inserted by this poster. All of them have been removed as NPOV violations by several editors (myself included), but he continues to paste them back in.

However, he did respond to me on his talk page and explain his overall reasoning. It's not simple vandalism, so I'm not going to revert him anymore or block him.

Coolcat, who's actions on [[Armenian Genocide]] are opposed by the other editors there and on the [[Talk:Armenian Genocide|talk page]], is insisting on shoving recent talk into archives; the article was recently listed for peer review and I feel that his archiving amounts to an attempt to sweep all the criticism of him under the rug.

Well, the talk page was pretty big and the discussion had frankly degenerated into a series of personal attacks on Coolcat.  This is unacceptable and I actually tried myself to delete the attacks on Coolcat leaving the substantive discussion, but in the end gave it up because there was so much attack and so little discussion.  It's a shame that you're accusing him of bad faith here when he clearly did, by your own admission, try to archive the discussion and not just delete it.

<s>Your citation of a deletion of a comment of yours by Coolcat is nothing of the sort.  Coolcat simply took a comment that you had embedded in another's comment, and put it at the end. </s> Correction accepted.  Yes, he moved it. Then he replied to it.

=== [[Armenian Genocide]].  Did I do the right thing here? ===

There is a slow-burning but longstanding content war on this article, characterized mainly by failure of the editors to engage in substantive discussion, and much insulting on either side.  Today witnessing yet one more revert of some apparently good faith edits, I protected the changed version in the hope of nudging one of the less cooperative editors into discussing the article instead of just reverting stuff he doesn't like.  He now claims that I have abused my admin privileges--a possibility that I accept may be true.

+ various open proxies.

Persistent chap. He seemed to be relatively well behaved until early March, since then he's been extremely disruptive, escalating his misbehavior.  He's been edit warring over the placement of a photograph on [[Bahá'u'lláh]], and has developed the most distasteful habit of using abusive words and insults.  When blocked (for [[WP:3RR]] for instance) he has resorted to using open proxies and sock puppets. The socks get blocked indefinitely, he creates a new one. Typically the socks will do nothing except insult someone or perform a revert, or both.  By the time he'd done around five reverts in a row I decided to apply an escalating block formula:

* 1 day for wildly excessive reverts
* 1 day for using open proxies to evade an earlier block
* 3 days for sock puppeting, 1 for each of three sock
* 1 day for egregious personal attacks
* 6 days total.

Each time he brings in another sock, the clock is reset and he gets another day added to the block period (I've decided to stop adding more when we get to 14days, and now we're at 13 days).

As before, socks (the pattern is Nitram00XX for some value from 02 upwards) are blocked indefinitely on sight.

I invited him to email me when I first blocked him. No response.

There's also a [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Martin2000|RFC]].

In short, he seems to think of Wikipedia as a place like Usenet, and rules as unwanted encumbrances.

I suppose at some point arbcom will have to take a look at this mess.  Meanwhile I'd appreciate some feedback from other admins. --[[User:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway]]|[[User talk:Tony Sidaway|Talk]] 17:38, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Geni, this is getting beyond a joke. Blocking a user for reverting that article is like blocking a person for reverting the [[Wikipedia:Sandbox|Sandbox]]. A bit of common sense in situations like this would go a long way, instead of your seeming hard-line self-appointed 3RR Warrior status. The only bad thing I can see that Earl Andrew did was to unblock himself prematurely. But had he come to me, or a majority of the other admins, I'm almost certain he would have been unblocked just as swiftly. - [[User:Mark|Mark]] 10:51, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:No there is a specific excemption for the sandbox (and a few other articles under the maintenance clause). I can't find anything for april fools day jokes. This is not the first edit war on what many view as a non serious page and I doubt it will be the last. You accuse me of being hard line. Do you remeber whqat this rule was like in the early days? It almost reached the point of being "do not make more than 4 edits to a contiversal article in a 24 hour peroid". You think I'm pretty sure the block would have been puleed by other admins if they were asked (so far I have had only one case where I blocked an admin and they were not unblocked either by themselves or others). Are yoiu suggesting that the 3 revert rule should not apply to silly pages? If so could you provide a defintion of silly pages that will not result in people trying to game it (and obtain some kind of consesus for it)? I mean what if there was a 3RR violation on exploding whale? In the end I am trying to inforce policy. If you don't like it get it chaged[[User:Geni|Geni]] 11:12, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
::Lets put some perspective on this. This article is a joke that has no bearing on the greater functioning of this encyclopedia. This is not [[Terri Schiavo]] or even [[Exploding whale]].

::Okay, Geni, I recognise that the [[Wikipedia:Sandbox|Sandbox]] is a special case whereby reverts are exempt for the purposes of actually clearing it from time to time.

:::Yes (although it migh be suggested that that could be clasified under mercy)[[User:Geni|Geni]] 13:26, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
::As for remembering what the "early days" were like, yes I do remember what the rule was like (although the rule could hardly be considered to come from the early days of Wikipedia). Not only was it not a hard-and-fast rule ("In the case of edit wars on important pages, users are sometimes blocked"), but it was not specified whether the four reverts had to occur in a 24-hour period, or one UTC day. The situation was significantly different to now and does not bear comparison.
:::I was refuring to the situation shortly after admins were given the power to block for 3RR violations[[User:Geni|Geni]] 13:26, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
::I am not proposing a change in the wording of the policy. I am merely advocating an exercise of discretion. You know, the thing which allowed you to block the user above for 7 hours for a 7 minute violation. You already use sysop discretion – it is not codified but it is implicit: "''[A]fter your fourth revert in 24 hours, sysops '''may''' block you for '''up to''' 24 hours.''" So not only do you have the discretion not to block, but if you do decide to block you can do so for a very short period of time as well. By using common sense in determining whether to block, situations like this can be avoided. Specifics about 'silly pages' do not need to be incorporated into the policy wording. - [[User:Mark|Mark]] 12:11, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
:::I try and keep the role of admin discression to a minium. Remember that one cuts both ways both ing reducing any penitaly and in people starting to talk about the spirit of the rule and blocking for things that are not 3 revert violations. This case involves a user who is aware of policy (well I assume all admins are) and who clearly violated the rule. That rules out the areas in which I normaly excersise discression. This does not say that other admins have to accept my descision.

Nah, those are all reverts all right, but Neutrality has apologized privately and said he will not revert again, which is generally good enough for me to overturn a first offense, especially when the user is unaware that partial reverts count as reverts.

Come on, Snow, I'm certainly not an advocate for Neutrality, and like many others I think he often plays a little loose with his admin powers, esepcially for someone who is an Arbitrator.  But those edits aren't reverts.   This "complex revert" thing is going way too far.   The editing was hot and heavy on that article, and many people were rewriting, adding, removing, keeping some of the previous editors' material, discarding or rewriting other parts, in quick succession.   That wasn't reverting in my book.   That was editing.   If you disagree, then please explain to me, in detail, how even one of those five edits, apart from number 3, was a revert by your lights. --[[User:BM|BM]] 13:03, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:All of them deleted the same sentence, regarding why the AHHH WAHHH utterance was evidence that she was not in a PVS. [[User:Snowspinner|Snowspinner]] 16:42, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)

A "revert" is where the article is returned, either directly or in effect, to a previous state, and that is not what was happening in any of these edits, except one.   Except in one case these weren't reverts.   Even if one repeatedly removes one particular sentence (which is not the only thing that was being in done in most of these edits), those are not reverts, as long as other parts of the article are changing (other than changes intended only as window-dressing to hide reverts).   For example,
in the sequnce:

# add sentence X
# remove sentence X (this is a revert)
# add sentence X again (a revert, restores article to previous state)
# add sentence Y
# remove sentence X (not a revert, because of intervening Y, the state  with Y alone has not existed in the history before)
# Y (this is a revert, because it restores the article to a previous state).

These kind of sequences may be edit warring, depeding on the content, but they are not reverts. 3RR is a rule against reverts, and it should not be stretched to entrench particular sentences.  If someone wants to accuse of Neutrality of edit-warring, he should take it to the ArbComm and Neutrality can recuse himself again (does he ever get to actually vote on any ArbComm cases?), but not all edit-warring is a violation of the 3RR and no amount of stretching of the "complex revert" concept can make it so.   --[[User:BM|BM]] 18:39, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I'm more concerned here about the apparent total confusion as to definition and policy, than the particular instance (on which I think we can assume Neutrality was acting in good faith, if not to say perhaps as bemused as I).  Snowspinner seems to be flat-out asserting that "partial reverts" count as reverts for the 3RR, and BM seems equally certain they don't.  The 3RR itself defines neither "complex" or "partial" reverts, so I'm none the wiser.  [[User:Alai|Alai]] 18:59, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:::[[Wikipedia:Revert]] is not an official policy.  While it is in [[:Category:Policies and guidelines]], it has not been through any process to establish whether it commands consensus.   I, for one, reject the notion that a "partial revert" is a revert for the purposes of the 3RR.   The article itself has only about 5 editors in all, and there is no discussion whatsoever on the Talk page.   So, Alai, you can go back to your original position that what counts as a revert is vague.  --[[User:BM|BM]] 01:06, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Neutrality is one of the worst POV-pushing offenders on the Terri_Schiavo article, ruthlessly pushing the POV which he shares with TheCustomOfLife and several others. After TheCustomOfLife broke the 3RR rule with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/3RR#User:TheCustomOfLife four full reverts] in less than 12 hours, to push their shared POV, and was blocked for 12 hours (why only 12?), Neutrality immediately unblocked him.  So Neutrality isn't always the person who does the reverts, sometimes he just protects those who do the reverts that he agrees with, so that they needn't worry about being blocked.  Neutrality is abusing his Arbitrator position to protect his ally's ability to break the rules and ensure that the article is heavily POV biased.  IMO, Neutrality has proven himself unworthy of being an Arbitrator. [[User:NCdave|NCdave]] 21:38, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

'''Comments:'''

* This user reverted his or her own user page 4 times. I refuse to block him or her as a result of this, for 2 reasons: this was in the user's own user space, and the reversions were of VfDing of the user page, which can be construed as a personal attack, vandalism or disruption. I am listing it here on the demand for fairness by [[User:Irate]] who I blocked for 3RR on the VfD page for this user's user page. Upon being insulted by [[User:Irate]] in IRC, I felt I had become too involved in the situation to make an unbiased decision, and so I list this user here for the consideration of the other admins. - [[User:Mark|Mark]] 15:34, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
* <s>you mean Irate's User page was put on VfD? Why was that?</s> I don't think anybody was ever blocked for reverting their own user page, and that's as it should be. [[User:Dbachmann|dab]] <small>[[User_talk:Dbachmann|('''ᛏ''')]]</small> 15:40, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**I see, Irate was blocked for reverting the VfD page of vr's user page [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AVotes_for_deletion%2FVioletriga&diff=11834476&oldid=11834475].

[[User:Dbachmann|dab]] <small>[[User_talk:Dbachmann|('''ᛏ''')]]</small> 15:45, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*I would certainly consider another user placing a VfD or speedy delete notice on my user page to be vandalism. Violetriga may revert such vandalism without violating the 3RR. I would also note that [[User:Irate]] is dangerously close to violating the 3RR on the page in question. [[User:Carbonite|Carbonite]] | [[User talk:Carbonite|Talk]] 15:40, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

* The 3RR explicitly does not apply to vandalism. I would think that spitefully adding a deletion notice to someone's legitimate user page (with the linked page reading "''This user is a dishonest and manipulative peice of scum and should be purged from the system''") is clearly vandalism. (Bias warning: I'm a disputant with [[User:Irate]]). [[User:Matt Crypto|— Matt <small>Crypto</small>]] 15:46, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

'''Comments:'''

* This user reverted the VfD page made by [[User:Irate]] of the user page of the above-listed user. His first reverts were removing "This user is a dishonest and manipulative peice of scum and should be purged from the system.", which was placed by [[User:Irate]], and replacing it with "<nowiki>[personal attack removed by [[User:Matt Crypto]]]</nowiki>." His fourth reversion was of a message he had placed on the page saying "Please don't delete this; it will be used in an Arbitration case. Thanks.", since another user had stumbled onto the page and listed it as a candidate for speedy deletion. As with the above-listed user, I refuse to block this user. His first 3 reversions were made in good faith, removing a [[Wikipedia:No personal attacks|personal attack]] against a third party. I have listed this here for the consideration of the other admins in an effort to remain balanced and fair. - [[User:Mark|Mark]] 15:53, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

* Reponse: 1) The first edit wasn't a revert, it was a vanilla edit (removing a personal attack). 2) The 3 rollbacks I used were distributed over two bits of text (a restoration of "please don't delete this" and the personal attack removal) 3) I interpret Irate's removal of the "please don't delete this" sign as vandalism -- not covered by 3RR. (I'd like to note that I deliberately asked on IRC for assistance on this page, rather than reverting past the 3RR limit). [[User:Matt Crypto|— Matt <small>Crypto</small>]] 16:03, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
