User was one of two editors that breached 3RR on this article yesterday, but unlike the other, FeldmarschallGneisenau has continued reverting today (shortly after the 24 hour period following their previous edits expired) despite being strongly advised to stop. Number 57 01:46, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

They are still making reverts, with this edit being in part a repeat of the 22:31, 25 May 2024 one. Number 57 02:59, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Elections isn't a word in the English language unless there are different types of elections happening on the same day, or happening in different states of a federal country. A parliamentary election in a unitary state is only one election. Calling it "elections" is bad grammar.FeldmarschallGneisenau (talk) 04:43, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

• Please see WP:DRN filed yesterday. I make no comment on the discussion here. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 06:33, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Administrator could indefinitely block me as all of this is mine fault only. I apologize to everyone. Mohammad Umar Ali

• Requesting Daniel Case, Bbb23 and RegentsPark to have a look at this case. PadFoot2008

I presume I'm being pinged because I declined a request to protect this page recently. Having reviewed the situation in more depth, I strongly suggest to MuA that he involve himself in the DRN that's been opened and for now drop this article like the hot rock he's done so much to make it. Daniel Case (talk) 05:24, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

• Since Mohammad Umar Ali has apologized above and there is an open DRN case, I think we can let this go (as long as MuA follows Daniel Case's "hot rock" suggestion above). RegentsPark (comment) 16:32, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

  I was frustrated so I apologized, I didn't meant it. This was my original comment [10] I removed it out of frustration as I told before. If you would have looked into details you would have known who was right here and whether consensus is even required in this specific scenario. I also learnt that providing reliable sources are less important for Wikipedia articles and a user needs to have consensus regarding adding sourced claims and unsourced claims and random statements of any other user are considered more reliable. Adding failed verification and Incomplete templates [11] also require consensus wow shocking! This is talk page of the article [12][13] and till now I don't know for what the consensus is required as everything has been well explained by me there by citing sources. Multiple users reverting my edit without any reason just shouting "talk page and consensus" by the way to which I replied each and every time with stating reliable sources doesn't matter but I get reported. It can easily be concluded that if multiple users are reverting my edit and I am reverting theirs (as talk page discussion is over as those users don't have any arguments left) I will be the one who will break 3RR even if I don't want and then I get reported, a good strategy isn't it? These many administrators didn't even notice this which surprised me. I faced multiple harassments by User:Rahio1234 (plz read the info here [14]) who just removed my content and kept quoting the same statement "Please provide WP:RS" doesn't even get warning. Also please close WP:DRN as there is nothing to discuss everything has already been discussed on the article's talk page. If I say Tomorrow is Monday and someone says no you are wrong The next day is Monday, I can't have a discussion on such issue. Lastly, I want any of the administrators to block either me or the user who reported me and disrupted the article. This is not a minor issue, this is a pretty serious one. If the administrators think that I really did any mistake block me please but don't just let the issue go. Mohammad Umar Ali (talk) 17:55, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

It's an LTA who has been vandalising this page all day with various accounts, including the current one impersonating an admin. Which five seconds of research would've revealed. 46.69.215.187 (talk) 18:45, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

I have requested ECP for that page to hopefully eliminate the disruptive editing.   Aloha27  talk  19:08, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

It may be worth you adding the AfD pages seen in the latest sock's contribs – Special:Contributions/136.226.53.24 – as the LTA will likely target them again too. 46.69.215.187 (talk) 19:13, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

That IP has been blocked for 72 hours.   Aloha27  talk  19:30, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

I know – I was the one who reported them to AIV. Special:Contributions/136.226.53.24 provides a handy list of all the targeted AfDs and you've got an easy score here by adding them to your RfPP request. I'm quite surprised how hard it is to get you to understand… well, anything at all… but that's not important right now. 46.69.215.187 (talk) 19:44, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

46.69 is correct. WP:3RRNO allows reverting vandalism. Now, WP:STOPIT discourages this sort of thing, but that's only an essay. 46.69 has done nothing block-worthy, here. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 18:51, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Not a 3RR report but a slow moving edit war that is a continuation of a 6 May ANEW report for which they were blocked. Not counting the 4 IP reverts before their account was created, they have made this exact revert 8 times with no attempt at discussion. With the exception of their first edit, the editor has never used any talk page of any kind despite a request to do so and continues to edit war to their preferred version. - Aoidh (talk) 18:30, 27 May 2024 (UTC) article history

The editor has started making a series of edits to the main page on 22 May 2024, some of which I regard as WP:POV. Shows no effort to seek WP:CONSENSUS, no effort to engage on the talk page, or even state any rationales in the edit summaries. It appears that this will go on forever unless the editor is suitably warned. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 10:58, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

• Excelsiorsbanjo has been very combative on the talk page, misunderstanding and misrepresenting what constitutes consensus, and generally being unwilling to reconsider their position and edit warring over a long period to enforce their preferred version of the article. —Locke Cole • t • c 16:40, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Just to add a little more context, in the diffs above they've reverted three different editors: myself, Leif One and an IP 2601:602:cc00:e7d0:ac64:af82:c4a4:bcb5. —Locke Cole • t • c 17:25, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Page protected In full for a week. As the reported user has suggested themselves, we need more formal consensus here on the question of whether the flag is still official or not. Daniel Case (talk) 23:29, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

@Daniel Case As the reported user has suggested themselves, we need more formal consensus here on the question of whether the flag is still official or not. What...? We have a secondary source that states the flag was "decommissioned", there are no sources since then stating the flag is current or in use. There was some detective work being done, but all of that is WP:OR and even if it panned out, isn't something we can use to make an edit here. I'm struggling to understand why protection was used here when there's a clear protracted edit war with Excelsiorsbanjo being the only person to constantly re-add the flag over the objections of multiple editors. This really needs to be a block. —Locke Cole • t • c 05:58, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

I know this edit is 10 weeks old, but I have a lot of respect for that editor and I think there he states the point that does not appear to have been adequately addressed. Daniel Case (talk) 06:02, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

SounderBruce is not Excelsiorsbanjo. It's not clear to me that SounderBruce noticed the article Leif One linked to that stated the old flag had been decommissioned, it feels like that got lost amongst the original research that was going on in droves. The flag is already included later in the article, and if our reliable secondary sources say the flag is decommissioned, there's no need for it to be in the infobox. Certainly no consensus to include it has ever really existed beyond WP:WEAKSILENCE, so little has been proffered to justify a protracted edit war by one single editor. —Locke Cole • t • c 06:17, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

@Daniel Case I just want to make sure I understand this correctly, so an editor can engage in a protracted edit war for months constituting 12 reverts against three other unique editors, and the behavior is addressed by protecting the article and stating As the reported user has suggested themselves, we need more formal consensus here on the question of whether the flag is still official or not.? The "reported user" hasn't suggested that as far as I can tell (beyond bludgeoning the discussion with the claim of a "consensus" that appears to consist of themselves and the uploader who hasn't opined whatsoever in the discussion nor edited the article since adding the image), meanwhile no less than four editors have either rejected the edit this editor is reverting to on the talk page or said they need more sourcing to validate that it is correct. WP:ONUS is unambiguous on this point: The responsibility for achieving consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content. We don't engage in discussion with edit warriors who to date have presented zero sources (Excelsiorsbanjo tried to wave away the discussion initially by stating [t]he local newspaper has plenty on it) and simply tried to bully their way through the conversation.

Proecting the page is rewarding bad behavior and punishing the good faith discussion that took place on the talk page. —Locke Cole • t • c 17:18, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

The "good faith discussion" on the talk page never once surfaced this much-discussed newspaper report that the flag had been decommissioned. Without that I can't see any basis for removing the flag.

I chose full protection, in the hope that a consensus could be reached if more editors got involved, because the only other option IMO would have to block both EB and you at least from the page for some time because you were both edit warring. Since you have been contributing to Wikipedia almost as long as I have without ever getting blocked, and are a valued member of the community, I thought you might appreciate this.

I see now that judgement was a mistake. So, I will offer you and Excelsiorbanjo a compromise: if you both consent to being blocked from the article and the talk page for a month, I will lift the protection and let other editors deal with the issue. Daniel Case (talk) 17:48, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

@Daniel Case The "good faith discussion" on the talk page never once surfaced this much-discussed newspaper report that the flag had been decommissioned. Without that I can't see any basis for removing the flag. I guess this early reply in January is just my imagination?

you were both edit warring My brother in Christ, in the span of seven days I reverted four times. Excelsiorsbanjo reverted six times (against two different editors). I get that invoking WP:BOOMERANG is fun and all, but I warned Excelsiorsbanjo (prior to realizing they'd already been warned five years ago), reverted one final time, and came here after it became clear this was not going to stop. I've provided reasons and sources for my statements, while Excelsiorsbanjo has just tried to wave away any argument against inclusion and remained consistent in claiming that just their side (which *counts on fingers* is one person, Excelsiorsbanjo) has somehow achieved consensus... I've contributed significantly to this project over nearly twenty years. Excelsiorsbanjo has made less than 300 edits and appears to have spent the last five years learning how to not collaborate or understand how this project works. We are not the same.

In the meantime I can press the undo button, it's no big deal. If you can read this in that discussion and take away that Excelsiorsbanjo is somehow a shining example of an editor or even equal to me in any way, then you're high. Only one of us threatened to revert without end here, and it wasn't me. —Locke Cole • t • c 23:17, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

I figured you'd invoke this old brief. It says "commissioners have decided to decommission that version". That only proves that they, at that time, intended to. It does not prove that they actually held the vote that that language suggests would be necessary, and the fact that no one seems to have yet found a record that such a vote was held means we cannot say with certainty that the flag was decommissioned (especially given that it seems, also, that the promised contest for a new flag design was never held, either). To claim those words as incontrovertible proof that the flag was decommissioned is writing a check they can't possibly cash.

It would be like me saying I had decided to block you for edit warring, but without anything in the block log proving that I did. That could not be taken to mean I had blocked you.

Fully protecting a page is never, repeat never, any reflection or judgement on the rightness or wrongness of the version protected. It is a message to the editors involved that they need to cool this down and discuss as they have failed at maintaining the status quo. Daniel Case (talk) 03:57, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

@Daniel Case That only proves that they, at that time, intended to. The text says decided to. It doesn't say intended to, planned to or some variation of that. decided is the simple past and past participle of decide. My understanding is that prior to that flag, the county didn't have any flag whatsoever, so it stands to reason that "no flag" is a possibility. Usually we defer to secondary sources, especially in situations like this where no other sources have been provided to refute the "decommissioned" status. It's kind of baffling to see you wanting something official when we typically avoid official records (just look at how biographies handle birthdates, or how we discourage using press releases for announcements over secondary source coverage of those topics, etc). Regardless, making assumptions about whether they actually decommissioned it or not is original research. You're supplanting what a reliable secondary source says with what you think they meant instead of taking the words plainly. —Locke Cole • t • c 05:10, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

An official record of the vote on the commissioners' website or in an offline archive where it is published and cited to the extent that verification is possible would be, contrary to the popular perception reflected in your post, an acceptable source for this as it would not require interpretation. Per WP:PRIMARY: "A primary source may be used on Wikipedia only to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge." Unfortunately rulemaking by assumption has led to that being interpreted to bar the use of primary sources altogether, which is an unfortunate misunderstanding.

I do have an idea for how we can resolve this to (I hope) everyone's satisfaction. Some people on the talk page have mentioned getting in touch with the county to see if they can find any records regarding the vote on the flag in their archives. I mean, they should have it if it were voted on ... if you keep no other public records of a body's actions on file this long, you keep meeting minutes. Of course I don't know how long they'd be required to keep them, and given Washington's reputation for having such loophole-ridden sunshine laws, I might not be optimistic.

Now, it's one thing if a bunch of Wikipedia editors ask for this. It's another if the local media does—it would turn up the heat on the people at the archives. Not that I think they'd be delaying on purpose or anything, but knowing how this works I can tell you that when they know the media's making the request (OK, I know, in a sense we are the media, but not like, say, the Spokesman-Review is) it gets a higher priority.

So, we should contact the S-R and suggest this as a story they should assign someone to cover. It wouldn't require many resources on their part (a not-inconsiderable issue given the current besieged state of local newspapers) and I can't imagine any way it could be argued that this would not be a story, especially given the recent effort to redesign the city's flag.

I am willing to reach out to the newspaper myself if desired, given my own distant-past experience in journalism. The end product of all this would be an unimpeachably reliable secondary source on this (and maybe the embarrassed county commissioners hastily voting to decommission the flag if it were found that they hadn't already). And it might make a good Signpost story, too. Daniel Case (talk) 20:11, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

@Daniel Case I get the argument around some forms of primary sources, but this is precisely why we use secondary sources: you're debating whether or not the reliable secondary source was accurate in stating the flag was decommissioned. If we had county commissioner minutes stating it was decommissioned, but then someone said it was still in use in Olympia, we'd have people going back and forth about that.

I did start a straw poll on the talk page, debated turning it into an RFC, but if you wish to pursue getting them to state something publicly about it, I'm all for that as well. FWIW, I did some archive.org spelunking on prior versions of spokanecounty.org and it appears they had minutes/agendas but because the current live-site only goes back to 2012-2013, it's really hard to search (at least that I've found so far) to see if maybe this hasn't actually already been publicly stated from a primary source. —Locke Cole • t • c 23:45, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

@Daniel CaseThe Spokane County flag is a relic of the past. The documentation of its origin and its abandonment are on the Talk page. The flag was a result of the fervor around the Centennial celebration of the state. Every county in the state designed a flag. Concerning the origin of the flag, of that too there is no legal record. The design contest, statewide, was sponsored by a tent and awning company. To quibble points, the is no legal origin for the flags existence that has been found, as there is no legal source for its decommissioning, only the published article where a county official states it will be decommissioned. The fact that the flag was a part of history is still represented on the Wikipedia page. The recognition does not belong in the infobox, and it is cited further down in a section about the history. I have no objection to the page being locked from editing, but please lock it so that it is not at the top of the page. The County only uses a logo, not a flag, I asked the office personally. The fact that a flag ever existed is an obscure fact that nearly everyone is not aware of. I would estimate that 99.9999% of people do not know the flag ever existed. Please relegate the flag to history, it is not a current symbol of Spokane County. Leif One (talk) 19:39, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

I do not consider one short unsigned newspaper article in which county commissioners promise to decommission the flag and sponsor a contest to create a new one to sufficiently establish that the flag was either a) decommissioned or b) never commissioned. You may want it to, but your emotional pleading here has little to do with policy. Daniel Case (talk) 03:03, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

The initial 3RR breach was corrected after I pointed this out, so my view is there is not a 3RR breach. However, to return to the edit warring as soon as the time expired, when Jack has started an RfC on the issue, is still classic edit warring. They persistently claim that their wording has a consensus, but that is clearly not the case in the previous discussion, nor (yet) in the RfC. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 06:23, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Please note the response to my notice on Jack's talk page. As Jack is unable to post here, it would only be fair to take account of their response there.

• Rahio1234, the Wikipedia sandbox has instructions on how it may be used and a list of things it cannot be used for (material that is "promotional, copyrighted, offensive, or libelous"). Are you claiming that Ergzay is posting material that falls into that list?--Bbb23 (talk) 12:54, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

  @Bbb23 Ok. Rahio1234 13:24, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

  @Rahio1234: That is not an answer. This report is an abuse of process, which is probably not intentional but rather demonstrates incompetence both in the bringing of it and how you've handled it after it was brought. You are therefore warned that any continuation of this kind of disruptive conduct will result in a block without any additional notice.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:35, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

  @Bbb23 Can you do something more than a warning? He's been blocked several times before for other things. Ergzay (talk) 13:39, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

  @Bbb23 The only thing I posted was a copy paste of a talk page that I was trying to figure out why the build-in "Reply" button didn't work and just gave errors. Rahio1234 immediately came along and started repeatedly reverting my changes in the middle of my testing and then sending me repeated automated warnings via Twinkle when I ignored him and continued editing.

  @Bbb23 He thinks you're telling me off about how I was using sandbox. Also, for the record, I wasn't trying to make the sandbox stick around. He would literally revert my changes less than a minute after I made them, over and over again. Just look at the edit log. I really think something more than a warning should be given.

CanonNi, If you violate the revert rule, you break the wikipedia rules. Any user without a conflict of interest may remove a maintenance template if the issue has been resolved by someone else. You can ask an administrator about this aspect. Stop vandalizing the pages and good faith contributions of other users. Stop manipulating administrators with false presumptions and complaints.

Hello, administrators! Any user without a conflict of interest may remove a maintenance template if the issue has been resolved by someone else. I already checked the talk page. The major contributions come from a neutral male user from the city of Oradea (ForTupan). He has a name similar to the subject of the article (Maria-Ana Tupan), but has no personal connection to it. The article has been improved, the tone is neutral, balanced. The information has credible sources. The problem is different: The users "CanoNi" and "Theroadislong" have made a common front and repeatedly violate the rules of wikipedia. I ask that my actions and edits be respected. I made constructive changes, removed the article's problems, brought sources and information. After all this, I deleted the tags and justified my action. But it seems that they have a personal problem with the subject of the article and have a personal battle with thim in the discussions. These fights of theirs disrupt wikipedia. They take personal revenge on an article, to hit on the subject of the article. They use their Wikipedia functions to commit abuse. George Voinescu (talk) 07:43, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Comments:

The IP editor has been edit-warring about this even though there is an ongoing discussion in Talk:Cushitic-speaking peoples about their proposed additions. They also accuse other editors who disagree with their POV of Anti-Somali sentiment which reinforces the impression that they are not willing to contribute in a collaborative way. Austronesier (talk) 11:31, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

I agree that some level of administrative action is needed: probably a page ban. The back-&-forths have been going on for twelve days now. The IP editor has only engaged others on the Talk page when their edits have been reverted, and has been unwilling to accept that others are engaging in good faith. At this point, I think a resolution through discussion is unlikely. Pathawi (talk) 13:38, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Blocked – for a period of one month from the article. Since they had not been alerted to it being in a contentious topic area (HORN), I have also done that as well as put a CTOPS notice on the article talk page. For these reasons this will be a regular administrative action that can be appealed through the usual process and reversed by any other admin. Should this user attempt to evade this block, or continue this behavior after it expires, CTOPS should be invoked. Daniel Case (talk) 18:54, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

This is so absurd it’s almost funny. The article is about Cushitic ethnic groups and where they reside. By going through the conversations on the talkpage you’ll see it, even the edit summaries. It’s so hypocritical how the dispute went from “unsourced” to “irrelevant” when the sources were brought. @Cookiemonster1618 😂😂😂 2.26.151.114 (talk) 20:28, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

This is why you were blocked because your replies indicate that your ignorant of wikipedia's editing policies, despite multiple times me explaining it to you, that your edits are not relevant to this article. Cookiemonster1618 (talk) 20:36, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Somalis are not relevant to an article about Cushitic ethnic groups? Visit these pages and learn about Somali DNA Cushitic ancestry & Haplogroup E-M215. Have a look at the map of where Cushitic ethnic groups are concentrated aswell please. Somalis are definitely not irrelevant. I assure you. 2.26.151.114 (talk) 20:45, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

This has nothing to do with the content of your edits, and everything to do with how you made them. When something is under discussion at the talk page, and you know you're right and the other user or users are obtuse and/or dumber than a wet rock, you leave the text in the article alone until the discussion is resolved, even if that text being in the article keeps you from sleeping well.

BTW, can we assume from your continued presence here that this declaration of yours is no longer operative? Daniel Case (talk) 19:11, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Comments:

I am new to trying to contribute to Wikipedia discussions and am finding it very confusing. I noticed today an article ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_was_no_such_thing_as_Palestinians ) that has it's main article page locked, being a contentious topic, but which only presents a narrow and heavily biased and misleading view, without respect for the requirement to maintain a neutral point of view. I am unaware as a new contributor to what process might normally be involved in seeking to redress issues on Wikipedia, especially given that the main page is locked, but noticing a Talk page, it seemed the appropriate location to make a request for someone to edit the article, and I was not the first to comment on that Talk page noticing a lack of neutrality and the presence of a strong bias in the article. I commented on the Talk page attempting to raise my concern with the lack of a NPOV, with specifics. User IOHANNVSVERVS deleted my comment. I tried to put my request to correct the lack of NPOV back on the Talk page and added the comment explaining why saying: "The request on the Talk page associated with this article, seeking to address the required Neutral Point of View criteria, was was deleted by someone. Since the issue of lack of neutrality has not been addressed the request for correction is being un-deleted. undo Tag: Reverted". Afterwards I also saw a comment on the Talk page where someone mentioned an important and missing quotation which was responded to as though it wasn't relevant so I commented with the full quotation and a link to its original source, discussed its relevance to the article and contributed further examples of quotations that might address the bias of the article and lend it more fairness and neutrality. The result was to have my comment on that Talk discussion also deleted by IOHANNVSVERVS who then deleted/reverted my comments on the Talk page twice more in the span of a couple of hours, despite my asking them to stop doing so, as well as sending them the edit warring warning on their user talk page. I also noticed in looking at the user talk page of IOHANNVSVERVS that there are several other instances where issues arose with this user contributing to anti-Israel and anti-Jewish discussions specifically, which begins to look like a pattern of using Wikipedia as a weaponized propaganda platform. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/IOHANNVSVERVS And additionally that the history on this user's talk page shows several other warnings about revisions. Before finishing trying to enter this complaint my edit from the Talk page was again reverted. The comment on the reversion suggests that it's not edit warring because as a new user I am only allowed to make edit requests, but that is exactly what my comment was that has now been deleted 4 times. I was requesting edit to address the lack of a neutral point of view. This Wikipedia article is serving as propaganda that shows only one point of view and both the absence of differing views and contempt for disagreement.

Did you read the edit summaries by IOHANNVSVERVS, Sean.hoyland, and LilianaUwU, all of whom reverted you? They explained it quite clearly, and there is a note on the talk page further explaining it: this article is under arbitration enforcement as it's a contentious topic. Consequently you need to be extended-confirmed to make talk page comments (or edit the article). Please see the notice on the talk page for more information. — Czello ^(music) 08:14, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

The player has won the Conference Finals MVP and award should be included in Career Awards and Achievements part. I checked the talk page and consensus been saying yes it should be included too.

FeldmarschallGneisenau has already been reported and suspended for a week for edit-warring in this article. The target of the edit-warring is the vote figures; he removed them from the Infobox persistently, citing the fact they exceeded the adult population of Poland as a reason, while ignoring the fact that the electoral system used at the time is multiple non-transferable vote, a system which allowed a voter to have more than one vote.

• Revision as of 01:37, May 26, 2024, before the suspension, where the vote figures were removed from the infobox

Editor is trying to claim BLP stating claims about the individuals sanity violates that policy. However the editor is removing a lot of additional cited information that would not fall under the claim of questioning the individuals sanity. so the BLP claim does not hold water. --VViking_TalkEdits 20:18, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

"List of iPhone models" uses [149] (official Apple information) to indicate the specific iPhone models that have been designated as "vintage" or "obsolete" by Apple, and is indicated as such on the article.

• I've blocked both new WP:SPAs indefinitely from editing the article.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:20, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

  I'm concerned that this is effectively granting "JeremyWilsson" his edit. I do not understand why these points regarding Aaron Frenkel are being left out, as they are well sourced and widely documented outside of Wikipedia. I'm glad that there has been outside involvement, to ensure that a balanced conclusion can be met. Ravenofpoe1 (talk) 13:42, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

  I've reverted back to (from what I can tell) is the last stable version back in February before you two got into this asinine edit war. Does it favor one of you? I don't know and I don't care. See WP:WRONGVERSION. Jauerback^dude?/_dude. 15:08, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

  I don't think this is correct and it's not about favoring one person or the other. The 'last stable version' had previous complaints of being written by PR Agents, and excluded many widely reported facts which are relevant for an encyclopedia. Many of the corrections I made were agreed upon in the talk page, and weren't in dispute. Ravenofpoe1 (talk) 15:31, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Please note that their first edit is a revert (they know that since they are mentioning an old discussion). Also, the content that they are removing without a valid reason has been stable for months. M.Bitton (talk) 00:09, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Some time was allowed for the original author of the content to fix. He did not not. The fact that the mistake was permitted to remain for months does not remove the underlying problem with the biased entry. Drsruli (talk) 00:11, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

The fact of the matter is that: a) the content has been stable for months and you failed to provide a valid reason for why you keep obliterating the Palestine section while leaving the US despite claiming in your edit summary that the article is not a place for including traditions in countries, and b) your claim that a consensus exists for its removal is totally baseless (as highlighted by another editor on the talk page).

User reverted my edits. Rahio1234 11:08, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

• Both editors have significant problems, Rahio1234 with competence and Ergzay with a campaign to get Rahio1234 blocked that includes repeated personal attacks. I advised Ergzay a while ago that they need to put their complaints about Rahio1234 in the proper context in the appropriate venue, which would be WP:ANI. Instead,Ergzay is using backdoors to do so. Meanwhile, the nomination of the draft by Rahio1234 for lack of notability is one more indication that they are likely not a net asset to the project.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:43, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

  User:Bbb23 - I agree about User:Rahio1234 but will add a comment. Nominating drafts at MFD for lack of notability is a relatively common error that appears to indicate an inexperienced reviewer who has more enthusiasm than knowledge or common sense. I asked User:Rahio1234 why they nominated the draft, because I was wondering if better instructions for reviewers are needed to avoid this waste of time at MFD. User:Ergzay tried to answer my question, attacking Rahio1234, and was reverted twice. I will be looking for a report at WP:ANI, and will also be expecting more misguided nominations to delete drafts, and asking the nominators why they are making the nominations. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:48, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

  @Robert McClenon Can you clarify what you mean by "I will be looking for a report at WP:ANI"? I don't quite follow. Is that a suggestion that I should create a report at WP:ANI immediately and that you want to engage in that discussion? Ergzay (talk) 15:18, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

  User:Ergzay. I am not asking you to create a report anywhere. Either report Rahio1234 at WP:ANI, or don't report Rahio1234. When I look at WP:ANI, one of the things that I will look for, if I remember, will be a report about Rahio1234. Either report Rahio1234 at WP:ANI, or don't report them. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:35, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

  I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be reading between the lines here given your wording. However as I stated in my other comment, I'll hold off writing a report at WP:ANI until I see additional problematic behavior. There is hope that Rahio1234 may change. Ergzay (talk) 16:31, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

  @Bbb23 Can you point to where you previously advised me? I have not seen any warning regarding this directed toward me. Checking the previous conversation shows no warning directed at me. Are you sure you advised me? Ergzay (talk) 13:48, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

  But I'll take this statement itself as advice to avoid personal attacks. I'll keep an eye on Rahio1234 and report them to WP:ANI if they continue their behavior. Ergzay (talk) 13:58, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

  @Ergzay: I can't find anywhere I warned you, either. I know I thought it, but that doesn't count for much, my apologies. Thanks for taking the advice/warning to heart. I think your plan is sound.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:05, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
