Primary issues (added by the filing party)

1. NorthernFactoid seems to disagree with the facts of an edit war.
   1. 2017-01-08T00:20:03‎ NorthernFactoid Undid revision 757442034 by Trackratte (talk) Returned “Establishment from the United Kingdom” b/c that is issue driving discussion. Furthermore, there was no consensus re initial change.
   2. 2017-01-08T04:05:10‎ Walter Görlitz Reverted 1 edit by NorthernFactoid (talk): No WP:CONSENSUS.
   3. 2017-01-08T04:40:33 Undid revision 758896720 by Walter Görlitz (talk) Walter Gorlitz will face the consequences of getting into an edit war
   4. 2017-01-08T05:36:30 Walter Görlitz Reverted 1 edit by NorthernFactoid
   • Per WP:3RR "An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page—whether involving the same or different material—within a 24-hour period. An edit or a series of consecutive edits that undoes other editors' actions—whether in whole or in part—counts as a revert." That means, and has been interpreted in every 3RR case I've been involved with both as a complainant and accused, as the first edit in a series of edits starts the war. Therefore, the first revert that started the ware was made by NorthernFactoid at 00:20 on January 8, 2017. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:53, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
2. There are also a few threats from NorthernFactoid.
3. And personal attacks such as this.

I am looking for a neutral party to discuss the issues. Ideally, that NorthernFactoid understand what constitutes an edit war, and take responsibility for starting it. I would also like NorthernFactoid to stop attacking me. If required, I can take this latter point to ANI.
