Ive been trying unsuccessfully to keep the recent changes list from looking lik this: HectorRodriguez's reversion of VeryVerily's additions to [[mass murder]], RickK's reversions of HectorRodriguez's reversions, HectorRodriguez's reversions of VeryVerily's reversions of HectorRodriguez's reversion, RickK's reversions of HectorRodriguez's reversions of VeryVerily's reversions of HectorRodriguez's of [[Manuel Noriega]], [[Panama]], [[History of Panama]], [[Communist Party of France]], [[Saddam Hussein]], [[mass murder]], and countless other articles.
In effect, RickK and VV have been automatically (and arbitrarily) reverting every single edit by Hector, subjecting him to a policy of auto revert reserved only for hard-banned trolls - a recipe for edit wars. On a positive note, RickK showed signs of agreeing to change his tactics in a recent edit to the Saddam page, which addressed content issues without the ad hominems. VV, however, still feels no need to defend his edits with counter-arguments backed up by factual evidence on the talk pages. He calls Hector a vandal, which he feels is sufficient reason to delete any edit by this user. When I try to give him advice for avoiding edit wars, he attacks me incessantly and refuses to contemplate his own biases.
Someone else has to put a stop to these silly ideological proxy battles. I keep on failing to steer the discussion toward content issues.
See my comments on [[Talk:Saddam Hussein]], [[Talk:Manuel Noriega]], and [[Talk:Mass murder]] for further details.
