Let me preface this by saying that I do not typically pursue sanctions for editors, but I do not like seeing them enforced selectively. 1RR violations in the last day:
RedHotPear: [1] reverts [2], and [3] reverts [4].
Volunteer Marek: [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. Granted I think these are just considered 2 reverts.
Do you think those were 1RR violations? I have some more, depending on your opinion for these. I'm not looking for those editors to be sanctioned, and do not want them to be. But I would like you to undo your block of Kolya until across the board enforcement is in place. Mr Ernie ( talk) 18:49, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
"SPECIFICO states there [at Talk:Joe_Biden#Reade's_story_corroborators] that he opposed my [new] proposal without reading all the sources, so I question the assertion that he has carefully evaluated my original edit.[12] If you are truly trying to disengage with me, continue this discussion at the article talk page and discuss content not me. Kolya Butternut ( talk) 20:35, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
I also was hoping there were more exceptions to 1RR. I felt that I was restoring different text than the text which was cited for reversion; I restored the collaterally removed text. Obviously after reading 1RR and 3RR I see how unambiguous it is; there is no leeway as there is in BRD. I don't want to see anyone sanctioned either. I don't think that is an effective way to improve collaboration. I ask that administrators look at what is happening beyond the straightforward policy. There is WP:CIVILPOVPUSHING happening. Kolya Butternut ( talk) 19:23, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
I simply cannot believe an administrator on this site doesn't know that a revert is a revert even if it is to a different part of the article. "An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page—whether involving the same or different material—within a 24-hour period", and subsequently "The one-revert rule is analogous to the three-revert rule as described above, with the words "more than three reverts" replaced by "more than one revert"". If you seriously don't know or understand that, you should resign your bit, immediately, until you have a bit more experience, we can't have people who don't understand the rules being in charge of enforcing them JungerMan Chips Ahoy!

Anyway, please exercise a bit more restraint at the Biden article. It's chaotic, and nothing much is going to be settled in the short term, anyway. Regards.Did you think somebody was about to report you? Were you even asked to self-revert? SPECIFICO talk 23:32, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
Without getting into the details of this situation, which I have not followed, I would just like to point out that the word "revert" includes "a series of reverts". "An edit or a series of consecutive edits that undoes other editors' actions—whether in whole or in part—counts as a revert." In other words, you are not limited to one revert-type edit in a session. You can revert something in paragraph 3 and then something in paragraph 7 and then something in paragraph 9, and as long as you do them in an uninterrupted series they are one revert. You CAN be called out for violating 1RR if you do a revert at 10 am and then another revert at 2 pm (in other words not in the same series of edits) - whether they are related or not. Sanctions are more likely to be applied if a person makes the SAME revert in the stated period. If they accidentally make an unrelated revert in the time period, it may be suggested to them that they self-revert to avoid violating 1RR. Maybe this has already been explained in this lengthy discussion, but I did see some people confused about it. -- MelanieN ( talk) 20:01, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
The better way to handle all of this is to simply enforce WP:ONUS policy without even worrying about how many RRs. If I add content X, and someone removed it, X shouldn't be re-added no matter who re-adds it or how many reverts they've made, until and unless there is consensus for it. So if Editor 1 adds X, Editor 2 removes it, Editor 3 reinstates it and Editor 4 removes it again, Editor 3 should be warned/sanctioned, regardless of what else they reverted or when. Editor 4 should not be warned/sanctioned, regardless of what else they reverted or when. However, if Editor 1 (or anyone else) re-adds X in a different form in response to Editor 2's concern (as stated in their edit summary), that should not be seen as a violation at all, but rather as a normal part of the editing process. I don't think that's how our rules currently work but that's how they should be. Levivich dubious – discuss 21:02, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
Here are some of the criteria I look at when enforcing 1RR:
I really like the idea of linking 1RR to content (whether someone is reverting the same content more than once). It's actually something I've been thinking about for a few months. I've been on the brink of making a proposal at Village Pump /Policy or something, since this would require a project-wide change in interpretation. (It wouldn't be good to have a walled-garden with an alternate definition of 1RR for American Politics.) Something along the lines of: 1RR:' You may not make the same edit (adding or removing the same content) more often than once per 24-hour period.
The other option I was considering was to test it out myself by removing the 1RR restrictions on some of the articles that have both the 1RR and BRD sanction template attached to them.
Warning: active arbitration remedies The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, which is a contentious topic. Furthermore, the following rules apply when editing this page:

That would have the same effect, preventing editors from adding the same content more than once every 24 hrs, with the extra requirement of making them discuss it on the Talk page before re-adding it. That way we don't have to change the definition of a revert (WP:3RR still applies in the way it always has), and it still clamps down on the back-and-forth revert wars while giving people a bit more flexibility to revert multiple bad edits in the scenario presented above by User:Rhododendrites. That might end with 1RR eventually being phased out or replaced with something different, not necessarily the BRD rule, but something that isn't strictly a revert rule and that removes the first-mover advantage of 1RR. ~ Awilley ( talk) 22:15, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
Bradv, after my block I thought I understood the Joe Biden page sanctions, but after this discussion at User talk:SPECIFICO#Edit warring I am confused as to why you did not revert the discussed edit, as you did after you had told me I violated page sanctions. [17]
The edit in question was boldly added: Special:Diff/955772478, reverted: Special:Diff/955895855, restored: Special:Diff/955900473, self-reverted: Special:Diff/955909770, restored: Special:Diff/955910074.
For background as to why this new edit is so controversial, note that this edit expands on another controversial non-consensus edit which has been edit-warred in: [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] (There may have been consensus to include something from The Times, but not this quote.
Please let me know the difference here, or please revert the latest edit. Kolya Butternut ( talk) 01:41, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Regarding [33]. It was always my understanding that the sourcing expectations are in regards to articles only, and that on their talk pages we can discuss first if sources are reliable or if they have relevant information that article should include in future form. It would seem counter-intuitive if there was no venue to discuss sources and their information first, and I must say this would be extremely harsh to stifle any discussion(after all we are told that Users should approach article talk page discussions as a place to advance arguments, listen to other users, and try to move the group towards a consensus.) Is this something you are able to answer as a clerk for this case or should I ask for clarification(which seems a very detailed and complicated procedure I must admit)? Kind regards,-- MyMoloboaccount ( talk) 16:53, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
Thank you, the reason for my enquiry was that I was wondering if by discussing certain aspects of the articles on their discussion pages, I also need to follow the strict sourcing requirements when pointing out for examples(example here [34]).

Thank you for protecting the article, it really needed it. I have noticed that you reverted a good edit by "S0091", which I assume was by mistake (easily done while trying to sort out a mess), seeing as the version you reverted to is only supported by baseless OR using as a source a WP article that doesn't even mention the topic. If this was done on purpose, please let me know, otherwise, I would really appreciate it if you could self-revert. Thanks. M.Bitton ( talk) 15:16, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi Bradv, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.
Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.
To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!
Sent to all Articles for Creation reviewers as a one-time notice. To opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page. Regards, Sam-2727 ( talk)

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2020).
from DGG: I asked you:
"I want to make sure you see a question I just asked at PD talk, before the decision is actually finalized.
Does "2) Standard discretionary sanctions are authorized for all discussions about pharmaceutical drug prices and pricing and for edits adding, changing, or removing pharmaceutical drug prices or pricing from articles." apply only to articles on drugs, or also to such things as general articles about the drug industry or mentions of drugs in all contexts whatsoever within WP? I see some discussion on it below from Bradv. but I do not think it answers the question. What for example would be the status of information on a drug pricing controversy involving a particular manufacturer in a page on the company? What about a discussion of drug pricing in an article on a supreme court lawsuit that might hinge on the issue, or even mention the issud, ? What about discussion of drug pricing in an article on the introduction of a requirement for negotiation about dug pricing in Medicare? And what about an article specifically and exclusively about he pricing of a specific drug, assuming afd would accept such an article?" I' apologize repeating it here , but I want to make sure you see it before the actual close. DGG ( talk ) 14:48, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi Bradv,
Just wanted to drop you a thank you for your active participation on the Medicine Arbcom talk page and in encouraging and amending PDs to be more in line with community concerns, particularly with highlighting general trends and answering questions.
DGG's question above is relevant, but I look forward to seeing the final version. Cheers! Nosebagbear ( talk) 10:58, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello Bradv,
NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.
In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

Have you even read what it was about? How is it ok for other editors to remove quoted text, and for me to be punished? Čeha ( razgovor) 06:10, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for protecting the article, it really needed it. I have noticed that you reverted a good edit by "S0091", which I assume was by mistake (easily done while trying to sort out a mess), seeing as the version you reverted to is only supported by baseless OR using as a source a WP article that doesn't even mention the topic. If this was done on purpose, please let me know, otherwise, I would really appreciate it if you could self-revert. Thanks. M.Bitton ( talk) 15:16, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi Bradv, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.
Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.
To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!
Sent to all Articles for Creation reviewers as a one-time notice. To opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page. Regards, Sam-2727 ( talk)

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2020).
from DGG: I asked you:
"I want to make sure you see a question I just asked at PD talk, before the decision is actually finalized.
Does "2) Standard discretionary sanctions are authorized for all discussions about pharmaceutical drug prices and pricing and for edits adding, changing, or removing pharmaceutical drug prices or pricing from articles." apply only to articles on drugs, or also to such things as general articles about the drug industry or mentions of drugs in all contexts whatsoever within WP? I see some discussion on it below from Bradv. but I do not think it answers the question. What for example would be the status of information on a drug pricing controversy involving a particular manufacturer in a page on the company? What about a discussion of drug pricing in an article on a supreme court lawsuit that might hinge on the issue, or even mention the issud, ? What about discussion of drug pricing in an article on the introduction of a requirement for negotiation about dug pricing in Medicare? And what about an article specifically and exclusively about he pricing of a specific drug, assuming afd would accept such an article?" I' apologize repeating it here , but I want to make sure you see it before the actual close. DGG ( talk ) 14:48, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi Bradv,
Just wanted to drop you a thank you for your active participation on the Medicine Arbcom talk page and in encouraging and amending PDs to be more in line with community concerns, particularly with highlighting general trends and answering questions.
DGG's question above is relevant, but I look forward to seeing the final version. Cheers! Nosebagbear ( talk) 10:58, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
You redirected Talk:Derek_Chauvin. Did you give any thought as to what effect that redirection would have on the discussions under way there? Geo Swan ( talk) 02:28, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Well, it wasn't easy but I read it. She now says she understands not to WP:OUT anyone, and I gave her some tools for problems that are out of the scope of usual editing. Considering the situation that led to her block has been remedied, (see here and here) would it not be reasonable to unblock her? (Her husband's harasser has been indeffed.) Thanks, -- Deep fried okra (schalte ein) 18:40, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
Hello Bradv,
NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.
In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

Hi, Bradv. I've just discovered your user page, and I thought I would drop by and say I found it very interesting. I suppose a more constructive use of the page than the trivial bits of information about oneself that fill up so many user pages (including mine). JBW ( talk) 17:05, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi Bradv, how are you ? last year you reviewed Guilhad Emilio Schenker and put the template "close connection" above the entry. I rewrote it thoroughly, I don't know him, could you please check and see if now it's ok ? Tzahy ( talk) 08:57, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
