Instantnood has not changed his behavior since the last arbitration case was closed. So far he has racked up 9 page bans in 9 days.

In fact, his behavior has gotten worse. He's chosen not just to continue edit warring behavior, but to purposefully instigate edit wars. Each day he is choosing to go back (in some cases as old as several months) and make the same edits that were reversed the first time.

An important finding of the last case was that Instantnood "is reminded to make useful edit summaries". He isn't. He has continued to make very contentious edits (such as renaming political entities) without anything at all as an edit summary.

I've chosen, mostly, not to engage him. Huaiwei has not and has been equally page banned and admonished by administrators. However, a glance at Instantnood's edit history reveals it would be impossible to use established dispute resolution techniques because of the sheer number of problem edits. (See evidence below, are we supposed to file 17 article RFCs per day?) Huaiwei wouldn't be involved if Instantnood wasn't making the problem edits in the first place.

Evidence: Look at Instantnood's edit history for 20 January 2006. (And go back as many days as you want, it's all the same pattern every single day).

Discarding any talk page discussion are 24 edits to articles, categories, or templates. An astonishing seventeen of them are reverts. 71% reverts? Only one revert has any talk page discussion.

9 edits have no edit summary whatsoever, including reverts. Only a handful of the remainder are useful to anyone not involved in his dispes.

Statement by Phroziac

I recently blocked Huaiwei and Instantnood for 24 hours for their ForestFire activity, and asked them to stop. Instantnood said he doesn't think it'll help to reach an eventual resolution[4]. The edit wars he's causing are *incredibly* silly. A quick look at the edit histories of several pages he has edited recently all shows obvious edit warring. This really needs to stop. Perhaps a temporary injunction preventing him from reverting would be helpful. --Phroziac . o º O (♥♥♥♥ chocolate!) 18:10, 21 January 2006 (UTC) (edited 18:16, 21 January 2006 (UTC))[reply]
