Not a problem, I didn't particularly want it on there but just haven't ever had a third party remove someone elses comments before and was unsure if it was standard practice for admins or just you cleaning up the mess he made.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing.
I believe you have exceeded the 3RR limit. Also note that good faith edits, even if POV pushing, are not vandalism.--agr (talk) 03:27, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

You've been edit warring on this article, and an admin might take your statement in the report as promising to edit war in the future. Please leave a comment at WP:AN3#User:Nefariousski reported by User:ArnoldReinhold (Result: ) indicating that you will cease reverting the article until such time as a consensus is reached on the Talk page. This means you must give up any role as 'enforcer' of the current version of the article. If you make this concession it should help you avoid a block. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 02:50, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
I have not edited or reverted the article nor do I intend to outside of vandalism or contributions that are not currently under or related to controversial discussion until consensus is reached. Nefariousski (talk) 03:00, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
Sure, self-published sources aren't much use for the rest of the article. I was just restoring at least one source to the main "contentious" part of the article (drugs, alcohol and 12yo boys, never a good mix). The guidelines do allow for that; I had no quarrel with your removal of the sources from elsewhere in the article, which of course would need third-party reliable sources.

Hi, Nefariousski! I appreciate your input concerning this editor and the edit war he engineered, and the advice you gave is certainly correct. This is one of those "extreme" cases, if you will. You know... the kind of editor that removes every warning tag from their talk page? Reinserts the same contested (unsourced, SYNTH, etc.) material repeatedly over the objections of upwards of a dozen or more editors? Gets blocked, then immediately after being reinstated, the first thing he/she does is go right back to the exact same dispute? This is Theremes. I watch the Edit Warring page, and I usually only involve myself if the report is blatantly one way or the other: a) clearly not an edit war, or b) a disruptive editor wreaking havoc on one or more articles. This particular editor's history speaks for itself, and is very probably (IMHO) a sock. Thanks for your input, and happy editing! :> Doc9871 (talk) 01:07, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Well, I have humored you. I have outlined clear reasons why Kenneth McLaren and Kenneth MacLaren have to be the same person. Sources referring to them under the two names both get their marriage dates, wifes names and first wife's death the same. Both say that Baden-Baden asked for them to be under his command in the Boer War and both say the subject was wounded at the same place. Are you satisfied? While the "fact" tag is on this article, it prejudices the AfD. User:Off2riorob is simply being obstructionist over this. Why does he have the single right to stop the removal of this tag, just because he claims without any real reason that he is not satisfied? I know the Haidoc business is an issue here, but some of us support this article but are glad to see the back of him.

Some of this stuff is so insane I question whether the editors are true YECers or just well practiced trolls. Listening to some of these people reminds me of the head exploding scene from Scanners.

This may be too big for AN/I when there is more than one editor editing tendentiously. This may be a job for arbcom. And I am not one who likes to kick disputes to the arbs.

Thanks, Nef. I've been trying to keep other people's work from being deleted. How do we keep the article protected while contributions are coming in? Things can't be organized if they are deleted every night by Pico.EGMichaels (talk) 17:53, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
I wouldn't necessarily say PiCo is the only contributor to the current instability but I do see your point. Obviously locking down the article is like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. If it starts to get too out of control I'd suggest that an AN/I get submitted to request the article be placed under 1RR for a set period of time to help enforce the BRD Process. Being that I try not to fly off the handle and throw every little issue to the admins I think it would be a good idea to see if we can get the community of editors that have been working on the article to voluntarily agree to follow 1RR first. I think it's important that a dialogue is initiated that tries to get everyone on board with this first, seeing as how claims of certain outspoken editors trying to take "ownership" and others being accused of supression have been all the rage lately. Nefariousski (talk) 18:11, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
Fine NickCT (talk) 22:23, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
Thanks Nick, I know it's rough working on an article where there's so much tendentious editing and endless debate over a lame issue and I know how frustrating it can be. I would just hate for this molehill to be turned into a mountain. If other editors insist on carrying on with this tiresome discussion I'll be the first one to submit an RFC. Nefariousski (talk) 22:33, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
Hey Nef, thanks for the background. And no issue responding on my talk page. Infact I'd prefer it. I find article talk pages so often get cluttered with discussions that are essentially only between two editors, and are unlikely to be of interest to others. I've always wondered if these would be better conducted on user talk pages.
It appears as though a great deal of thought has gone into the "myth" title. It still makes me very uncomfortable though, because my initial strong impression was it raises all sorts of NPOV issues. Reading through the FAQ, I was interested by the line of arguement that goes "Myth is the accepted term in scholarly RSs. Even though myth may imply falsity to the average reader, wikipedia has to follow RS because wikipedia isn't censored to avoid offending the average reader". Not sure who wrote that FAQ, but I find this line of argument a little dubious, because, while I accept that "myth" might be well back by scholarly RS 1) ultimately wikipedia is written for the average reader, and this article covers a topic that would be interesting to the general public 2) I'm sure if we thought hard enough about it we could come up with a title that was compliant both with RS and didn't risk offending the average reader with POV issues.
Regarding consensus, was there ever a clear survey/Rfc similar to the kind I setup here. If not, would you object to me setting one up, with the primary intent of simply getting a measure of consensus? I don't want to reopen old wounds here, and I'll be content with leaving the title as is, but I'd really like to see something that clearly shows a majority of editors support the title.
In summary let me note, that you and I would probably be in complete agreement regarding the veracity of "creation" as presented by Genesis (either symbolicly or literally speaking). However, after having been at the butt end of allot of disputes where I've been outnumbered (or out shouted) by editors who I felt were pushing POVs, I've become hyperconscience to these NPOV issues. I feel that it is incumbent on us to ensure we uphold the basic principle that Wikipedia neither endorse nor refute religous beliefs. NickCT (talk) 15:34, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Rereading WP:WTA#Myth and Legend it would seem that using "myth" in its "formal sense" is specificly supported by long standing policy. Frankly, I'm not sure that's good policy, but its existence make me less desirous to argue the issue we've been discussing. I withdraw my call for another Rfc/survey, though I'd note that the existing Rfc's and RMs appear to be long discussions/debates. Short, concise I support / I reject type surveys are always nice to demonstrate consensus. NickCT (talk) 17:09, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Truth table:
A B - - T T T F F T F F
"if A then not B" means cross out anything that contradicts that, which in this case is B being true when A is:
A B - - X X T F F T F F
and in what remains, in all instances that B is true, A is false, i.e. if B then not A. hence (if A then not B) implies (if B then not A).

I see you have started to tangle with this editor. He leaves a trail of destruction wherever he goes, so you might want to buckle up and drink some Extreme Patience juice. He focuses on picking apart the contributions of others, and watering down the parts that aren't too friendly to the Chinese Communist Party. I have started an RfC on him, and another editor, Dilip Rajeev, has started an AE case. We are both branded as anti-CCP and pro-Falun Gong elements though, so it's unclear what impact the measures will have. His consistently destructive behaviour, and the explicit and implicit support he receives for it, has seriously eroded my will to contribute to this project (among other things.) If you dare to wade into this dispute, I suggest doing so carefully, documenting everything. This guy needs to be stopped by force, because he's only going to get craftier and craftier now. Instead of outright blanking, he just blanks some parts and weakens others; instead of saying nothing, he says a few perfunctory words and discredits the other editors intentions; instead of doing zero research, he does a bit. And this is all tacitly condoned. --Asdfg12345 04:57, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
Suggest checking Propaganda in the People's Republic of China, Thought reform in the People's Republic of China, and Mass line. And your note is right. I shouldn't be too much affected. It has been quite hard to get a set of outside eyes on the goings on across these pages. I'm sure a glance at the edit history and talk pages of those articles will be telling. --Asdfg12345 02:27, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Genesis Creation Myth and then indicate in the "Party agreement" section whether you would agree to participate in the mediation or not.
Mediation is a process where a group of editors in disagreement over matters of article content are guided through discussing the issues of the dispute (and towards developing a resolution) by an uninvolved editor experienced with handling disputes (the mediator). The process is voluntary and is designed for parties who disagree in good faith and who share a common desire to resolve their differences. Further information on the MedCom is at Wikipedia:Mediation Committee; the policy the Committee will work by whilst handling your dispute is at Wikipedia:Mediation Committee/Policy; further information on Wikipedia's policy on resolving disagreements is at Wikipedia:Resolving disputes.
If you would be willing to participate in the mediation of this dispute but wish for its scope to be adjusted then you may propose on the case talk page amendments or additions to the list of issues to be mediated. Any queries or concerns that you have may be directed to an active mediator of the Committee or by e-mailing the MedCom's private mailing list (click here for details).
Please indicate on the case page your agreement to participate in the mediation within seven days of the request's submission.

Noticed your status when I moused over your username on the Fereydoun Farrokhzad page; the same editor that doesn't like sources seems to have reappeared after being blocked. I just weed-whacked some unsourced material from the article that could be considered defamatory but now the article is kinda thin and CordeliaNaiSmith understandably does not want to re-engage.
Or!
If that does not appeal, there there is currently a brawl underway over whether Pakistan has/does provide support to the Taliban. I notice that you seem to have served in Afghanistan, so you may be interested or able to evaluate some of the claims/sources. See Taliban or the Neutral Point of View noticeboard.
Just suggestions; I am in both of these as a member of the peanut gallery, so I don't really have a dog in the fight. Either way, happy new year :)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

I, unfortunately, have no way to transmit snacks over zoom; but I trust you to exercise good judgement and discretion in selecting snacks of your own.
