By the way, this user is also a sysop, but should this make a
difference? This is a serious question.
Is he? He fails to appear on [[Wikipedia:List_of_administrators]] or
[[Special:Listadmins]].
I'd somehow associated this user's behaviour as that of a sysop.
Apologies. Was Vandalism_in_progress the correct place to report users
in revert wars? (As far as I remember I checked the 3RR policy and it
referred me to the VIP section for this). Whether or not they did break
the 3RR, I'd expect there's a penalty for censoring the VIP article.
Speaking of the 3RR. I notice different sysops are interpreting this
rule differently. Some sysops have defined terms such as a "simple
revert" or a "complex revert", where complex reverts are simple reverts
but with additional editing. Is this a widely adopted definition of
reverts now? I think the "complex revert" is a reasonable extrapolation,
but I think it's important to ensure it is adequately defined, as it may
be possible to define any edit as a "complex revert" otherwise.
