John Pilger's date of birth[edit]

Please take up this issue with Wikipedia officially if you believe this information is false despite the readily available reliable sources which benefitted from John Pilger's direct involvement. Without a ruling from on high, editors are likely to continue reverting your edits. The page on editors' potential conflicts of interest may, or may not, be relevant to your case.

Regarding John Pilger and your repeated reverts: Please stop reverting edits of other editors without addressing the issue at the article's talk page. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 07:34, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Vinylritchie, take this issue to Jimmy Wales again, if you must, but Pilger's date of birth is on page after page of Google results, some of them very reliable sources. Philip Cross (talk) 10:10, 21 January 2013 (UTC).[reply]

it has, as you well know, nothing to do with the sources Editor, JohnPilger.com 10:19, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Yes, it does. The ready availability of this detail makes deleting the information from WP irrelevant as a means of preventing Pilger being a victim of further identity theft. Philip Cross (talk) 11:02, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This ought to be discussed at Talk:John Pilger; but, in short: the wide availability of Pilger's birthday makes claims of confidentiality and identity theft rather hysterical.

What should now be discussed here is a violation of the three-revert rule by Vinylritchie; so, for the record:

Your recent editing history at John Pilger shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 11:15, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You mean the three-revert rule that you - Philip Cross - also broke earlier in the year over this issue? And that Michael Bednarek is now also breaking? As i have repeatedly said, this has been discussed at length before, both publicly on talk pages and in private, and as you are both insistent on prolonging this tedium, or should i say 'hysteria' as you so judgementally put it, it has been re-referred to Jimmy Wales. Editor, JohnPilger.com 13:13, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You were responding to Michael Bednarek, not me. Edits which look like vandalism are exempt (see WP:3RRNO). Philip Cross (talk) 13:47, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Leaving WP:3RRNO aside, I can'y find any incidents of violations by me or Philip Cross since mid-November 2012. Your three violating edits are:

I suggest you self-revert your most recent edit. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 04:54, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's because you haven't looked far enough back - Jimmy Wales intervened in June 2012, but Philip Cross's obsessive edits began in August 2010, the reversions are late that year. As you can see above he says he is exempt because it 'looked like vandalism' but he persisted with the edits even when it was explained otherwise which is why the Wikipedia founder stepped in Editor, JohnPilger.com 09:40, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

I suspect there is some statutory limitation on these infringements, but you if you feel strongly enough about it, you might raise it at WP:AN3, although I'd think that your more recent edits might attract a dim view there. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 13:03, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think subsequent behaviour of an investigations into Philip Cross explain a lot of his so called 'edit wars' from the past. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.0.141.87 (talk) 15:13, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
