I have blocked you from editing for 24 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule at Steven Plaut. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. ·· coel acan 22:38, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Request reason:
Each one of these edits was reversion of vandalism by the editor whose previous disruptive behaviour had led to the original protection of the article. The reverted edits made defamatory claims about a third party, which had already been found libellous by a court in Israel. And I had already asked for the article to be fully protected, in order to prevent this abuse. My edits should not be counted under 3RR. RolandR 23:51, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Decline reason:
As per below, this was not simply a matter of WP:BLP reversions. 3RR permits only simple vandalism reversions; BLP pretty much defines some additional things which count. But adding allegations, such as you were doing, is well outside of these bounds. And here, I'm not at all implying the allegations are false or uncited, only that by adding them, you are now bound by 3RR. — Yamla 02:09, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{ unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
Can you elaborate on specifically what it is here that violates WP:BLP, which you were removing? ·· coel acan 23:59, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Welcome back. I see this article is protected again. Hopefully there will be some way of moving forward toward a consensus version. Let me know if I can be of assistance in discussion at the article's talk page. ··

Thank you. I had intended to submit the same checkuser/sockpuppet request, as I am certain -- irrespective of Jpgordon's findings -- that these are linked accounts. Further, I believe them to be linked to User:Truthwinsout, who earlier made similar edits. In fact, they are very likely Plaut himself, or his associates; and probably linked to the User:Runtshit vandal who persistently defaces pages with abuse of me and others. Anything you can do to help would be appreciated. RolandR 14:57, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Tiamut 16:15, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
It's obvious you have no interest in knowing the truth about the JDL. They are not listed as a terror organization, and no where on the Internet are they published as such. I confirmed this with the FBI on Friday and I suggest you do the same. From your edits it appears you are against Zionism so your edits have a natural reason to be against the JDL and I suggest you refrain from editing that page as you may have a conflict of interest. eternalsleeper 21:23, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
[7]. I noticed you vandalism page and thus user has the name Roland in it. -- Abnn 23:32, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Hello — I've removed your report at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. That page is intended for cases of simple and persistant vandals who have received a final warning. 84.109.51.71 only appears to have one abusive edit. Sock puppetry should be reported at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets. Happy editing! — Feezo (Talk) 11:09, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
Re your message: No warnings were issued at the time of the report on AIV. You reported the vandal, I removed the report as noted, and then you issued a warning. The warning issued previous to yours was for edits in March. With anonymous and potentially shared IPs like this one, warnings are not necessarily cumulative like user accounts or non-shared IPs. While the edits you reported were certainly egregious, a warning should still be issued before the report to AIV. Additionally, your warning and report to AIV was done nearly two hours after the last edit occurred and was reverted by another editor. -- Gogo Dodo 18:52, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi. It seems that your revert in the East Jerusalem article was to a bad version by me which I self-reverted. This version is bad because it repeats the "Israelis of all religions" bit (see previous sentence).-- Doron 15:20, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads up on the PalReturn UBX. I have requested a deletion review here. As for the one-state UBX, I don't care to get into a prolonged discussion about the matter. Suffice it to say, I agree that the two terms are not necessarily synonymous; however, in general usage I think they are and, in my experience, most people who support a binational solution have in mind a one-state solution in all of Palestine. For instance, the binational solution article begins with "The binational solution, also known as the One-State Solution ... " -- DieWeisseRose 19:57, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Roland, I don't know how to be more clear about this. Do not insert this WP:BLP-violating material again. Instead, come to the Talk: page, and engage in the discussion on the page. You came very close to being blocked today; I don't want that to happen. Jayjg (talk) 00:44, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
I am not violating WP:BLP by posting a DEFENCE of someone being libelled and defamed. You have absolutely no justifcation for blocking, or threatening to block, me. and I consider your behaviour to be an unacceptable attempt to bully me into complying with your anti-Finkelstein agenda. But it won't work; I have not acted against either the letter or the spirit of Wikipedia. I have reported your breach of WP:3RR RolandR 01:23, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Hello, Roland. I am the admin who dealt with your 3RR report about Jayjg. I want to stress that BLP is something that Wikipedia takes very, very seriously, and it's best to err on the side of caution. If someone other than an obvious troll removes something, citing BLP, and you disagree, it's a really bad idea to revert. I've been following an ArbCom case where an administrator who had absolutely no history of vandalism or trolling undeleted some articles which had been deleted citing BLP. She didn't do it with the intention of harming Wikipedia; she simply thought that the articles shouldn't have been deleted. She's now facing an admonition with threat of desysopping in the ArbCom rulings.
Regarding the way you submitted your report, the administrator dealing with the case needs to be able to click on "first revert", "second revert", etc., to see that it really is a revert. If you look at the history of any article, you'll see times given for each version. If you click on the time/date, you will then be looking at a particular version. It will say at the top that it was the version edited at a particular time by a particular editor. It's called a "version". However, if, instead of clicking on the time/date, you click on "last", you will get something that shows you the difference between that version and the previous one, with the name of the editors, and the times and dates. That's called a diff. Here is a diff for a revert I made. [8] You can see from the edit summary that it was a revert. (Actually, I was reverting vandalism.) If you just show the version here, there is absolutely nothing to show what my edit involved. For a valid 3RR report, you need to start by giving the version that was reverted to, if it's possible. (Sometimes it isn't, when people are making lots of complex reverts.) Then (and this is important) you need to give a diff for each of the four reverts, with the times and dates clearly stated. You simply gave versions for each of the reverts.
However, I would like to point out that reporting someone who is removing a BLP violation is not likely to result in a block for the person reported. At most, it might result in a block from an admin who hadn't looked into it properly, followed by indignant discussion at an admin noticeboard, followed by unblocking. I hope that all helps. Regards. ElinorD (talk) 21:48, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
I see above that you are having trouble with the policy regarding articles on living persons. Restoring unsourced or improperly sourced content, as you did on José Saramago, by saying that the information is "useful" is a clear violation of a critical policy. Do not restore this information again unless you can provide valid sources to back it up. | TheBLPGuy 13:52, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
You have reverted various sockpuppet pages to state that the socks are mine. A CheckUser request proved that the socks were not mine. If you continue to accuse me of sockpuppetry in the face of proof to the contrary, then you're violating WP:NPA. Note that I'm one of your few Wikipedia adversaries who has not resorted to personal attacks on you. Truthprofessor 18:25, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
I can't see which defamatory lies I'm supposed to have justified - and please remember that you just called your opponents Kahanists and bigots.
If you believe in telling the truth, can you explain why you keep re-posting that Newman claim in Plaut's entry. Newman wrote: "Writing under assumed names, Plaut has a long history of attacking, labeling, and targeting left-wing scholars in Israel. One anonymous article appeared under the name of Socrates in the Middle East Review of 2001." Newman didn't provide any evidence that Plaut uses assumed names or that Plaut is "Socrates." Do you have evidence?
You also linked to the claim about Plaut's spamming activities. Maybe I'm not reading carefully enough, but I didn't see any proof that Plaut rather than a supporter was the culprit. And how do you know that someone didn't fake this "evidence" - just as some of the abusive socks on Wikipedia faked messages from you?
Truthprofessor 11:28, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
And please note that you've missed my point. Far from excusing or justifying gutter language against you or charges of Kahanism and bigotry against your opponents, I'm arguing that both sides should avoid this sort of conduct, as I've tried to do.
Truthprofessor 11:36, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Roland. It looks like you and I both reverted Tube Deny on Israel Shamir just now--that is, from the history, it looks rather like I reverted you, but that's not what happened. Sorry about that. I don't know why I didn't get an edit conflict. I'm going over to warn the editor about calling content disagreements "vandalism", I'm awfully tired of seeing that. Bishonen | talk 22:45, 26 August 2007 (UTC).

"A speech from Hansard" is just someone's opinion. It DOES violate Biographies of living persons So take the libelous material out. M12390 19:44, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
I guess the problem I have is that I didn't see him re-add that content; it didn't show in the diff. If you can point me at the diff in question, I'll reconsider. — C.Fred ( talk) 23:10, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

i have no interest in rekindling old disputes (and habits). please note that "sophistry" and "quibble" might be interpreted as uncivil and try to avoid using them when in content dispute reverts. Jaakobou Chalk Talk 02:21, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
I have blocked you for 48 hours for a three revert rule violation on Jajah. I have exacalated the block due to a number of other blocks for edit warring. When you return, please discuss edits rather than revert war. Ryan Postlethwaite 14:28, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
RolandR ( block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser ( log))
Request reason:
I wrote to Ryan Postlethwaite yesterday, and I have posted above an apology and a plea in mitigation. But he seems to have been offline since he blocked me yesterday afternoon, and has not replied. In his absence, I request that another admin reviews the block, in the light of my comments above.
Decline reason:
You've been here quite a while and have been blocked previously for 3RR. You do not need a warning to know what behaviour to avoid. Most of your response is wikilawyering on the particulars of your block log and no receiving a warning. Altogether, it does not give me faith that you fully appreciate the problem in your edit warring. — Vassyana 18:24, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Roland. I am beginning to get rather tired of seeing Runtshit's sockpuppets vandalising articles on Israeli politics every so often. Have you requested a checkuser to be done on the socks to see if they all come from one IP address? If they do, perhaps we can get that blocked. Number 5 7 16:10, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Sorry I forgot to come back to you! I restored the article, per the WP:PROD policy. I'm not sure personally that this article is suited for WP, it it really directory-ish. I left a note to the user that proposed the deletion at first, he might wish to bring it to AFD. -- lucasbfr talk 18:59, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
I did not mean at all to make an accusation or implication that you had removed that, and am sorry that it could be and that you did read it that way; I had guessed that you would prefer the version I reverted to and was merely alerting you to that fact. The silly remark got in the way of a nice clear edit war - this is a technique of some of the more clever vandals and POV-pushers, but I don't think that was the case here. John Z 19:22, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
i do insist that you strike <s></s> your suggestion that i "deliberately" misled the editors of the 1929 Hebron massacre from that talk page. i note you a second time that "i've explicitly copy-pasted that text from the article and suggested i translate the entire text."

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem that Jews Against Zionism (disambiguation) meets these criteria, an editor has started a discussion about whether this article should be kept or deleted.
Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jews Against Zionism (disambiguation). Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.
Discussions such as these usually last five days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, a neutral third party will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article. IZAK 08:11, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi Roland, I've removed this from here.
if i understand correctly, jewsagainstzionism.com is registered in your name, if i am incorrect, feel free to let me know.
in the off chance that this is correct (and i apologize if it is not), i was wondering why you are not vouching for the source in question on 1929 Hebron massacre... mind my asking, where did you get the testimony of Baruch Kaplan from and perhaps you can help solve the "kaplan" issue by providing a link to a source less contentious than the website.
dor the sake of clarity, i apologize again if the answer to the question is 'no'. Jaakobou Chalk Talk 23:54, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Could you please take a look at the Euston Manifesto article? I've added some critical links but the body of the article itself is in need of balance since there are few, if any, criticism in the text.

Dear Roland, hate to ask you this, as it entails a waste of your time. There's a question I have wanted to resolve for several months, and it should be simple to resolve, but no Hebrew speaker on the particular page seems willing to help me. I refer to 'Hebron'. All of my researches indicate that the actual Jewish population within Hebron proper, and not Kiryat Arba, is around 450-600. The page has long had the figure 700-800 (odd no one knows how many Jewish people live in there, despite it being one of the most studied towns in the PTerritories). The actual figure must consist of residents and yeshiva students (I don't know if the 200 yeshiva students commute a quarter of a mile daily from Kiryat Arba, or live in there). Is it possible, without wasting too much time, to look at the Israel Census Bureau online and see what they give. I hardly think the present link, to David Wilder interviews in the Jerusalem Post, is an adequate source. People are touchy on this, but I think the correct figure shouldn't be hard to obtain? If this is any bother, forget it. Best regards Nishidani 17:11, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Just a quick thank you for sorting out the Marxist box which I think I originally shamelessly stole from your userpage! Thank. BobFromBrockley 09:39, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Excuse me, but I would like to know why you have labelled the inclusion of Kmae language to the Pol Pot page as "vandalism".

Just to say hello. I noticed your latest edits to Israeli apartheid and wanted to thank you for locating that quote and information. It's very interesting and I hadn't ever read it before.

Tiamut 21:48, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
Excuse me? Why are you accusing me and Chesdovi of vandalism? The information (both parts) is properly sourced.

Please see the above link as I have requested arbitration for a dispute that you are involved in. Feel free to contribute there. Regards, Ryan Postlethwaite 17:09, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
I wish you had addressed my specific point about disambiguation before reverting me on Jacob Israël de Haan. Wikipedia:Hatnote deals specifically with the issue of hatnotes, and WP:NAMB (on the same page) supports my view that this article should have no hatnote whatsoever. There should definitely not be a link back to a disambiguation page. I have left the note but changed it into a "not to be confused with" link to Jacob de Haan, however much I think this is not actually in keeping with policy. JFW | T@lk 23:08, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

This arbitration has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The area of conflict in this case shall be considered to be the entire set of Arab-Israeli conflict-related articles, broadly interpreted. An uninvolved administrator, after issuing a warning, may impose sanctions including blocks of up to one year in length; bans from editing any page or set of pages within the area of conflict; bans on any editing related to the topic or its closely related topics; restrictions on reverts or other specified behaviors; or any other measures which the imposing administrator believes are reasonably necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of the project. The Committee shall convene a working group, composed of experienced Wikipedians in good standing, and task it with developing a comprehensive set of recommendations for resolving the pervasive problem of intractable disputes centered around national, ethnic, and cultural areas of conflict. The group shall be appointed within two weeks from the closure of this case, and shall present its recommendations to the Committee no later than six months from the date of its inception. — Rlevse • Talk • 01:52, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
The problem is that only one edit had been made from that IP today, it had been about three weeks since the IP's last edit, and today's edit was unrelated to any prior edits. As a result, I was not going to block an apparent new user who had received no warnings.
If the same articles were targeted as before, then I can deduce that it's the same person as before, and I'll block. Otherwise, because IPs are so prone to be reassigned, I have to conclude that it's not the same person, so without a full set of warnings, I'm not going to block, except in extreme circumstances. — C.Fred ( talk) 23:34, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading Image:Cover of Apartheid Israel.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI ( talk) 20:48, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Cover of Apartheid Israel.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot ( talk) 01:31, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Dear User:RolandR. Just a query if you know offhand whether or not Vilnai's remark on shoah in Gaza raised a fuss when it was reported from his interview with the Israeli Army Radio by online Israerli newspapers, or only after the English newspapers, Haaretz etc., translated it, or the Reuters translation of 'shoah' as holocaust came out. In other words, did he in speaking of a 'shoah g'dolah yoter' in Gaza create a stir among native Hebrew speakers, or is all the fuss at Israeli-Palestinian conflict simply a consequence of the way that word weas translated by Haaretz, Reuters and Yediot A.into English? No research asked for, just a comment offhand. Regards Nishidani ( talk) 18:56, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi Roland, thanks for the note. I agree with you; I didn't know who the accounts were (though it did all look like one person), but I figured I'd assume the best. The material you readded looks fine, although, what do you think of the quote from Dershowitz? I'm not sure who it reflects on more, but it strikes me as a bit much. Maybe it could be reduced to noting Dershowitz's criticism and perhaps retaining the first part of the quote. I might try something to that effect if you don't mind. Regards, Mackan79 ( talk) 18:20, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm not a CU, nor do I play one on the radio, and yes, anonymizers make it somewhat impossible. My criteria is that if the puppet's name references you, or its edits include the "Tony Tony" or the blog, that is pretty much a confirmation. The others, I could not find a particular edit that confirms it was a that user. As for how to stop it, other than massive anon IP rangeblocks, I'm not sure either :( -- Avi ( talk) 14:29, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

I have blocked you from editing for 24 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule at Steven Plaut. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. ·· coel acan 22:38, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Request reason:
Each one of these edits was reversion of vandalism by the editor whose previous disruptive behaviour had led to the original protection of the article. The reverted edits made defamatory claims about a third party, which had already been found libellous by a court in Israel. And I had already asked for the article to be fully protected, in order to prevent this abuse. My edits should not be counted under 3RR. RolandR 23:51, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Decline reason:
As per below, this was not simply a matter of WP:BLP reversions. 3RR permits only simple vandalism reversions; BLP pretty much defines some additional things which count. But adding allegations, such as you were doing, is well outside of these bounds. And here, I'm not at all implying the allegations are false or uncited, only that by adding them, you are now bound by 3RR. — Yamla 02:09, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{ unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
Can you elaborate on specifically what it is here that violates WP:BLP, which you were removing? ·· coel acan 23:59, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Welcome back. I see this article is protected again. Hopefully there will be some way of moving forward toward a consensus version. Let me know if I can be of assistance in discussion at the article's talk page. ··

Thank you. I had intended to submit the same checkuser/sockpuppet request, as I am certain -- irrespective of Jpgordon's findings -- that these are linked accounts. Further, I believe them to be linked to User:Truthwinsout, who earlier made similar edits. In fact, they are very likely Plaut himself, or his associates; and probably linked to the User:Runtshit vandal who persistently defaces pages with abuse of me and others. Anything you can do to help would be appreciated. RolandR 14:57, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

It's obvious you have no interest in knowing the truth about the JDL. They are not listed as a terror organization, and no where on the Internet are they published as such. I confirmed this with the FBI on Friday and I suggest you do the same. From your edits it appears you are against Zionism so your edits have a natural reason to be against the JDL and I suggest you refrain from editing that page as you may have a conflict of interest. eternalsleeper 21:23, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
[7]. I noticed you vandalism page and thus user has the name Roland in it. -- Abnn 23:32, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Hello — I've removed your report at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. That page is intended for cases of simple and persistant vandals who have received a final warning. 84.109.51.71 only appears to have one abusive edit. Sock puppetry should be reported at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets. Happy editing! — Feezo (Talk) 11:09, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
Re your message: No warnings were issued at the time of the report on AIV. You reported the vandal, I removed the report as noted, and then you issued a warning. The warning issued previous to yours was for edits in March. With anonymous and potentially shared IPs like this one, warnings are not necessarily cumulative like user accounts or non-shared IPs. While the edits you reported were certainly egregious, a warning should still be issued before the report to AIV. Additionally, your warning and report to AIV was done nearly two hours after the last edit occurred and was reverted by another editor. -- Gogo Dodo 18:52, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi. It seems that your revert in the East Jerusalem article was to a bad version by me which I self-reverted. This version is bad because it repeats the "Israelis of all religions" bit (see previous sentence).-- Doron 15:20, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads up on the PalReturn UBX. I have requested a deletion review here. As for the one-state UBX, I don't care to get into a prolonged discussion about the matter. Suffice it to say, I agree that the two terms are not necessarily synonymous; however, in general usage I think they are and, in my experience, most people who support a binational solution have in mind a one-state solution in all of Palestine. For instance, the binational solution article begins with "The binational solution, also known as the One-State Solution ... " -- DieWeisseRose 19:57, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Roland, I don't know how to be more clear about this. Do not insert this WP:BLP-violating material again. Instead, come to the Talk: page, and engage in the discussion on the page. You came very close to being blocked today; I don't want that to happen. Jayjg (talk) 00:44, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
I am not violating WP:BLP by posting a DEFENCE of someone being libelled and defamed. You have absolutely no justifcation for blocking, or threatening to block, me. and I consider your behaviour to be an unacceptable attempt to bully me into complying with your anti-Finkelstein agenda. But it won't work; I have not acted against either the letter or the spirit of Wikipedia. I have reported your breach of WP:3RR RolandR 01:23, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Hello, Roland. I am the admin who dealt with your 3RR report about Jayjg. I want to stress that BLP is something that Wikipedia takes very, very seriously, and it's best to err on the side of caution. If someone other than an obvious troll removes something, citing BLP, and you disagree, it's a really bad idea to revert. I've been following an ArbCom case where an administrator who had absolutely no history of vandalism or trolling undeleted some articles which had been deleted citing BLP. She didn't do it with the intention of harming Wikipedia; she simply thought that the articles shouldn't have been deleted. She's now facing an admonition with threat of desysopping in the ArbCom rulings.
Regarding the way you submitted your report, the administrator dealing with the case needs to be able to click on "first revert", "second revert", etc., to see that it really is a revert. If you look at the history of any article, you'll see times given for each version. If you click on the time/date, you will then be looking at a particular version. It will say at the top that it was the version edited at a particular time by a particular editor. It's called a "version". However, if, instead of clicking on the time/date, you click on "last", you will get something that shows you the difference between that version and the previous one, with the name of the editors, and the times and dates. That's called a diff. Here is a diff for a revert I made. [8] You can see from the edit summary that it was a revert. (Actually, I was reverting vandalism.) If you just show the version here, there is absolutely nothing to show what my edit involved. For a valid 3RR report, you need to start by giving the version that was reverted to, if it's possible. (Sometimes it isn't, when people are making lots of complex reverts.) Then (and this is important) you need to give a diff for each of the four reverts, with the times and dates clearly stated. You simply gave versions for each of the reverts.
However, I would like to point out that reporting someone who is removing a BLP violation is not likely to result in a block for the person reported. At most, it might result in a block from an admin who hadn't looked into it properly, followed by indignant discussion at an admin noticeboard, followed by unblocking. I hope that all helps. Regards. ElinorD (talk) 21:48, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
I see above that you are having trouble with the policy regarding articles on living persons. Restoring unsourced or improperly sourced content, as you did on José Saramago, by saying that the information is "useful" is a clear violation of a critical policy. Do not restore this information again unless you can provide valid sources to back it up. | TheBLPGuy 13:52, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
You have reverted various sockpuppet pages to state that the socks are mine. A CheckUser request proved that the socks were not mine. If you continue to accuse me of sockpuppetry in the face of proof to the contrary, then you're violating WP:NPA. Note that I'm one of your few Wikipedia adversaries who has not resorted to personal attacks on you. Truthprofessor 18:25, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
I can't see which defamatory lies I'm supposed to have justified - and please remember that you just called your opponents Kahanists and bigots.
If you believe in telling the truth, can you explain why you keep re-posting that Newman claim in Plaut's entry. Newman wrote: "Writing under assumed names, Plaut has a long history of attacking, labeling, and targeting left-wing scholars in Israel. One anonymous article appeared under the name of Socrates in the Middle East Review of 2001." Newman didn't provide any evidence that Plaut uses assumed names or that Plaut is "Socrates." Do you have evidence?
You also linked to the claim about Plaut's spamming activities. Maybe I'm not reading carefully enough, but I didn't see any proof that Plaut rather than a supporter was the culprit. And how do you know that someone didn't fake this "evidence" - just as some of the abusive socks on Wikipedia faked messages from you?
Truthprofessor 11:28, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
And please note that you've missed my point. Far from excusing or justifying gutter language against you or charges of Kahanism and bigotry against your opponents, I'm arguing that both sides should avoid this sort of conduct, as I've tried to do.
Truthprofessor 11:36, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Roland. It looks like you and I both reverted Tube Deny on Israel Shamir just now--that is, from the history, it looks rather like I reverted you, but that's not what happened. Sorry about that. I don't know why I didn't get an edit conflict. I'm going over to warn the editor about calling content disagreements "vandalism", I'm awfully tired of seeing that.

Request reason:
I wrote to Ryan Postlethwaite yesterday, and I have posted above an apology and a plea in mitigation. But he seems to have been offline since he blocked me yesterday afternoon, and has not replied. In his absence, I request that another admin reviews the block, in the light of my comments above.
Decline reason:
You've been here quite a while and have been blocked previously for 3RR. You do not need a warning to know what behaviour to avoid. Most of your response is wikilawyering on the particulars of your block log and no receiving a warning. Altogether, it does not give me faith that you fully appreciate the problem in your edit warring. — Vassyana 18:24, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Roland. I am beginning to get rather tired of seeing Runtshit's sockpuppets vandalising articles on Israeli politics every so often. Have you requested a checkuser to be done on the socks to see if they all come from one IP address? If they do, perhaps we can get that blocked. Number 5 7 16:10, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Sorry I forgot to come back to you! I restored the article, per the WP:PROD policy. I'm not sure personally that this article is suited for WP, it it really directory-ish. I left a note to the user that proposed the deletion at first, he might wish to bring it to AFD. -- lucasbfr talk 18:59, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
I did not mean at all to make an accusation or implication that you had removed that, and am sorry that it could be and that you did read it that way; I had guessed that you would prefer the version I reverted to and was merely alerting you to that fact. The silly remark got in the way of a nice clear edit war - this is a technique of some of the more clever vandals and POV-pushers, but I don't think that was the case here.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem that Jews Against Zionism (disambiguation) meets these criteria, an editor has started a discussion about whether this article should be kept or deleted.
Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jews Against Zionism (disambiguation). Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.
Discussions such as these usually last five days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, a neutral third party will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article. IZAK 08:11, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi Roland, I've removed this from here.
if i understand correctly, jewsagainstzionism.com is registered in your name, if i am incorrect, feel free to let me know.
in the off chance that this is correct (and i apologize if it is not), i was wondering why you are not vouching for the source in question on 1929 Hebron massacre... mind my asking, where did you get the testimony of Baruch Kaplan from and perhaps you can help solve the "kaplan" issue by providing a link to a source less contentious than the website.
dor the sake of clarity, i apologize again if the answer to the question is 'no'. Jaakobou Chalk Talk 23:54, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Dear Roland, hate to ask you this, as it entails a waste of your time. There's a question I have wanted to resolve for several months, and it should be simple to resolve, but no Hebrew speaker on the particular page seems willing to help me. I refer to 'Hebron'. All of my researches indicate that the actual Jewish population within Hebron proper, and not Kiryat Arba, is around 450-600. The page has long had the figure 700-800 (odd no one knows how many Jewish people live in there, despite it being one of the most studied towns in the PTerritories). The actual figure must consist of residents and yeshiva students (I don't know if the 200 yeshiva students commute a quarter of a mile daily from Kiryat Arba, or live in there). Is it possible, without wasting too much time, to look at the Israel Census Bureau online and see what they give. I hardly think the present link, to David Wilder interviews in the Jerusalem Post, is an adequate source. People are touchy on this, but I think the correct figure shouldn't be hard to obtain? If this is any bother, forget it. Best regards Nishidani 17:11, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

I wish you had addressed my specific point about disambiguation before reverting me on Jacob Israël de Haan. Wikipedia:Hatnote deals specifically with the issue of hatnotes, and WP:NAMB (on the same page) supports my view that this article should have no hatnote whatsoever. There should definitely not be a link back to a disambiguation page. I have left the note but changed it into a "not to be confused with" link to Jacob de Haan, however much I think this is not actually in keeping with policy. JFW | T@lk 23:08, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

This arbitration has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The area of conflict in this case shall be considered to be the entire set of Arab-Israeli conflict-related articles, broadly interpreted. An uninvolved administrator, after issuing a warning, may impose sanctions including blocks of up to one year in length; bans from editing any page or set of pages within the area of conflict; bans on any editing related to the topic or its closely related topics; restrictions on reverts or other specified behaviors; or any other measures which the imposing administrator believes are reasonably necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of the project. The Committee shall convene a working group, composed of experienced Wikipedians in good standing, and task it with developing a comprehensive set of recommendations for resolving the pervasive problem of intractable disputes centered around national, ethnic, and cultural areas of conflict. The group shall be appointed within two weeks from the closure of this case, and shall present its recommendations to the Committee no later than six months from the date of its inception. — Rlevse • Talk • 01:52, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
The problem is that only one edit had been made from that IP today, it had been about three weeks since the IP's last edit, and today's edit was unrelated to any prior edits. As a result, I was not going to block an apparent new user who had received no warnings.
If the same articles were targeted as before, then I can deduce that it's the same person as before, and I'll block. Otherwise, because IPs are so prone to be reassigned, I have to conclude that it's not the same person, so without a full set of warnings, I'm not going to block, except in extreme circumstances. — C.Fred ( talk) 23:34, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading Image:Cover of Apartheid Israel.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

Thanks for uploading Image:Cover of Apartheid Israel.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Dear User:RolandR. Just a query if you know offhand whether or not Vilnai's remark on shoah in Gaza raised a fuss when it was reported from his interview with the Israeli Army Radio by online Israerli newspapers, or only after the English newspapers, Haaretz etc., translated it, or the Reuters translation of 'shoah' as holocaust came out. In other words, did he in speaking of a 'shoah g'dolah yoter' in Gaza create a stir among native Hebrew speakers, or is all the fuss at Israeli-Palestinian conflict simply a consequence of the way that word weas translated by Haaretz, Reuters and Yediot A.into English? No research asked for, just a comment offhand. Regards Nishidani ( talk) 18:56, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi Roland, thanks for the note. I agree with you; I didn't know who the accounts were (though it did all look like one person), but I figured I'd assume the best. The material you readded looks fine, although, what do you think of the quote from Dershowitz? I'm not sure who it reflects on more, but it strikes me as a bit much. Maybe it could be reduced to noting Dershowitz's criticism and perhaps retaining the first part of the quote. I might try something to that effect if you don't mind.

I'm not a CU, nor do I play one on the radio, and yes, anonymizers make it somewhat impossible. My criteria is that if the puppet's name references you, or its edits include the "Tony Tony" or the blog, that is pretty much a confirmation. The others, I could not find a particular edit that confirms it was a that user. As for how to stop it, other than massive anon IP rangeblocks, I'm not sure either :( -- Avi ( talk) 14:29, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
