I also must state that, as Houghton infers, neither truth nor
accuracy is determined by consensus, and that is NOT a comment
specifically on the Weight Training article.
"Truth" is a thing that is hard to determine, and often hotly disputed; in
any event its determination is not something that is within the purview of
Wikipedia. Instead we have the NPOV policy.
Having two people on one side of a disagreement play
"tag team" on reverts
(consciously or not) is a violation of the spirit, if not exactly the
wording, of the 3RR. In effect, Taxman's first and second reverts were
really GeorgeStepanek's fourth and fifth. Result: one side in an article
can always win AND get the opposition blocked so long as they have one more
supporter than the other side.
This 3RR gamesmanship has to end. Ask an admin to protect the article and
take it to the talk page.
If enough people are reverting you, one could argue that what you are seeing
is actually "concensus", not "3RR gamesmanship".
Jay.
