The Arbitration case to which you were a party, "Conflict of interest management", has now closed and the final decision is viewable at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:

• The Arbitration Committee requests that a new VRT queue be established to accept reports of undisclosed conflict-of-interest or paid editing, where reporting such editing on-wiki is in conflict with WP:OUTING. The queue membership is to be decided by the Arbitration Committee and is open to any functionary and to any administrator by request to the Committee and who passes a functionary-like appointment process (including signing the ANPDP). Following the creation of the queue, the existing checkuser-only paid-en-wp queue will be archived, and access will be restricted to checkusers indefinitely. Functionaries and administrators working this queue may, at their discretion, refer a ticket to the Arbitration Committee for review; an example of a situation where a ticket should be referred to the committee is when there is a credible report involving an administrator.
• For posting non-public information about another editor—after a previous post by Fram in the same thread was removed and oversighted—Fram is admonished against posting previously undisclosed information about other editors on Wikipedia ("outing") which is a violation of the harassment policy. Concerns about policy violations based on private evidence must be sent to the appropriate off-wiki venue. Any further violations of this policy may result in an Arbitration Committee block or ban.
• For his failure to meet the conduct standards expected of an administrator, specifically as pertains to conflict of interest editing and conflict of interest disclosure, Nihonjoe's administrator and bureaucrat user rights are removed. Nihonjoe may regain these user rights via a successful request for adminship and a successful request for bureaucratship, respectively.

1. 12:47, 24 April 2024 (partial revert of this)
2. 11:35, 24 April 2024 (revert of this)

Please self-revert 12:47. BilledMammal (talk) 12:52, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're stretching the interpretation of 1RR beyond its intended meaning and purpose. If your argument was followed, ANY deletion, even of a single character, made anywhere on the page should count as a revert, since technically every character has been added by someone sometime. This would limit editing the page to adding new material only beyond the first deletion, which would make meaningful work on articles virtually impossible. That's certainly not what was intended by the 1RR rule, whose aim is to prevent edit wars.

I'll revert now for formality's sake and might take the matter to relevant noticeboards. — kashmīrī TALK 13:05, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To address your broader concerns, you may find it useful to know that removing stable content is not considered a revert.

To address your specific concerns here, I added "yet", you removed it. You undid my action in part, which is considered a revert per WP:3RR. However, if you believe I am misusing the process, you are welcome to open a discussion at WP:AE. Alternatively, you can re-implement your edit, and I can open the discussion at AE.

FYI, I see nothing about "stable content" in the policy. — kashmīrī TALK 16:00, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ki Kashmiri,

It seems like you keep editing the Vishnu Sahasranam Page to remove the names that make up the Vishnu Sahasranam. Is there a reason for this vandalism? On a page about the 1000 Names of Vishnu (Vishnu Sahasranam) it does nto make sense for you to keep removing the 1000 Names of Vishnu.

Read the discussion at Talk:Vishnu Sahasranama. And never accuse editors of vandalism. — kashmīrī TALK 17:50, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
