This must involve the same dispute, not different disputes. The persons complaining must provide evidence of their efforts, and each of them must certify it by signing this page with ~~~~. If this does not happen within 48 hours of the creation of this dispute page (which was: 07:24, 27 Jul 2004), the page will be deleted. The current date and time is: 10:09, 20 June 2025 (UTC).

Statement of the dispute

This is a summary written by users who dispute this user's conduct.

• Description:

User:Rex071404, in clear contravention of established principles of Wikiquette, consensus-building and NPOV, has consistently inserted biased material into John Kerry, resulting in the eventual protection of the page. After being reverted numerous times by Jgm, Snoyes, Bkonrad and Etaoin as an anon, he got an account. Additionally, he was warned by Karada for not "playing nicely with other users".

He never uses edit summaries, even when reverting, and has violated the three-revert rule each day since registering a Wikipedia account. He has also repeatedly posted abusive messages on the talk pages of users Gzornenplatz, Gamaliel, Neutrality, myself, and even Cecropia, apparently before he realised that the latter was on his side. This user clearly hates Kerry, and this has been reflected in practically all of his edits on this site. He regularly "SHOUTS", even after being asked not to, and has posted extended rants about Kerry and those who disagree with his edits on Talk:John Kerry, which has had the effect of largely drowning out attempts by Neutrality, myself, and on the other side of the argument, Cecropia, at resolving this dispute.

I've provided four diffs here, but I could easily provide more. Gamaliel's talk page is yet another example of his harassment of a user, while that user calmly tries to work issues out with him.
