Saved for posterity:

 Is User:Irvine22 a disruptive editor? 

There has been a long-standing issue with Irvine22, primarily on the PIRA page, but also on others.  Irvine22 has been confirmed as a puppetmaster for the purposes of block evasion, refused to acknowledge or apologize for the incident, and then began to implement a series of disruptive, POV edits without discussing the matter on the talk page.  His edits have been almost universally reverted, and yet he continues to make them, after being told many times by many editors as well as one admin to raise issues on the talk page first.  He shows no sign of ceasing this behaviour, nor will he acknowledge, much less address, any criticism of it.  The page's resident admin, User:Rd232, suggested that I raise the matter on the ANI page if it continued, so that is what I am doing now.

Following is a small sampling of Irvine22's more recent edits.  Note that I have only selected edits for which there was no consensus, that were later reverted.  These also all occurred after his block and subsequent sockpuppetry.  They also occurred after he was repeatedly told not to edit the article without first seeking consensus, or at the very least providing an adequate source.  

The edits:

  This edit was reverted, and a new section started on the talk page.  Instead of trying to reach a consensus, he restored the edit with the explanation ""per discussion"".  It was not.

 This POV edit was reverted.  Irvine22 restored it.  It was reverted again.  So he restored it again.  It was reverted again and he was told to bring the matter up on the talk page.  So he restored it again.  And again.  And again.  Actually a quick glance at the page's history will show you the behaviour he regularly partakes in. I really wish I could link to more, but I simply don't have the time.  Rest assured, there are dozens.

Talk page disruption begins here

Irvine22 has also been dismissive of advice and instructions to change his editing habits, as can be seen here, and especially on the PIRA talk page, beginning here.

Note Irvine22's polite yet dismissive tone throughout all of this.  He is almost pathologically incapable of acknowledging any wrongdoing on his part, or criticism of his actions.  I am not sure if this is a deliberate attempt to game, or the result of some actual personality disorder for which he cannot be fully faulted. 

I haven't the time to go digging through his edit history.  I really wish I did.  I will, however, link to this page on the PIRA talk page and invite further comments from the editors there.

Thank you for your time. 

P.S.  I apologize if this request is not in the correct category.  It crosses several, and I didn't want to pigeonhole it as a 3rr issue, as the problem extends far beyond simple edit warring."
