This page is for reporting active edit warriors and recent violations of restrictions like the three-revert rule.

• See this guide for instructions on creating diffs for this report.
• If you see that a user may be about to violate the three-revert rule, consider warning them by placing {{subst:uw-3rr}} on their user talk page.

You must notify any user you have reported.

You may use {{subst:An3-notice}} ~~~~ to do so.

You can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

Additional notes

• When reporting a user here, your own behavior will also be scrutinized. Be sure you understand WP:REVERT and the definitions below first.
• The format and contents of a 3RR/1RR report are important, use the "Click here to create a new report" button below to have a report template with the necessary fields to work from.
• Possible alternatives to filing here are dispute resolution, or a request for page protection.
• Violations of other restrictions, like WP:1RR violations, may also be brought here. Your report should include two reverts that occurred within a 24-hour period, and a link to where the 1RR restriction was imposed.

User:Enverite reported by User:Pairadox (Result: 8 hours)

• Three-revert rule violation on

G&D's Ice Cream Cafe (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Enverite (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log): Time reported: 21:07, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

• Previous version reverted to: 16:32, 24 January 2008

• 1st revert: 17:44, 24 January 2008
• 2nd revert: 18:11, 24 January 2008

• 4th revert: 20:03, 24 January 2008

• Diff of 3RR warning: 17:28, 21 January 2008

While these may not appear to be strict reverts, I feel a close examination will show otherwise. Enverite (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is suspected of being a sock of PeaceThruSuperiorFirepower (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). The apparent goal of these editors is to give Davis Roberts equal credit for starting G&D's and/or deny George Stroup sole billing. Their only edits are in relation to this article. PeaceThruSuperiorFirepower (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) had previously reverted twice in the last 24 hours, here and here. Enverite then pick up the task. It's only when their combined reverts approach the fourth in 24 hours does Enverite switch to blanking the paragraph about the founders entirely. Either combined with the suspected sock or alone, it seems clear the intent to violate 3RR is there.

A SSP report has been filed but not acted upon at this time. 21:07, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

• Diff of 3RR warning: N/A, this is an experienced user and knows what he is doing.

This user seems to not respect other editor's edits what-so-ever. Instead, he just reverts edits as if this page belongs to him, and him only. I've made changes to try and satisfy him, added citations, etc. He just brings up NOR, NPOV and talks about edit wars. It is this type of editor who believes others' edits are not as worthy, that instigates edit wars, and makes Misplaced Pages an unpleasant experience. Check out this uncivil discussion, with himself maybe? Now him and this anon (himself?) gang up on other editors to keep the page exactly as he wants. 192.45.72.26 (talk) 00:40, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Page protected. John Reaves 00:47, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Firstly, the 142.167 IP is not mine (see this diff in my userspace: ). I've also contacted the reporting user to try and reach a comprimise, which included asking him not to revert me . When I "just bring up" WP:NOR, WP:NPOV and WP:EW, I feel I'm perfectly right to do so; the user originally used no sources in his edits and he later proclaimed who the most famous line-up of Guns N' Roses are. Which is why I linked to WP:NOR and WP:NPOV. Funeral 00:49, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

What? Is your memory not functioning? You were the one who brought up the words famous first , and I tried to please you by changing my edit. You don't discuss things, from your edit history you just go around reverting many edits which are not your own. You don't appear to have any sense of compromise. I clarified the statement, and started to add citations that show that in popular media they are referred to (wrongly or rightly so) as the original lineup. Still you reverted. So you were intersted in compromise?? I doubt it. Users like yourself should get a nice week ban for all your reversions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.45.72.26 (talk) 00:57, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, they were the most famous line-up of the band, but that's still considered point of view. I didn't mean to say we should put that in the article. And I deserve a band for reverting a lot of/mostly vandalism? Sounds fair. Funeral 01:03, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

The thing is Funeral, is I don't know if you have a good sense of what is really vandalism. Edits that "Funeral doesn't like" do not necessarily constitute vandalism. I was there trying to satisfy you, you were making good points. I added citations, and then all I get is these harsh comments that you make towards me and your anon friend. What is the need to act like that dude? I am on here trying to make some edits and I get accused of being a fanboy or of fancruft. Please be professional. It is common usage in the media to rever to those guys as the "original line-up". I didn't say these guys ARE THE ORIGINAL LINEUP, I merely clarified. Most people, fans or not, who know Guns N' Roses, do think of these five as the original members. The article is very precise in how the group was formed, but there is no disaster with adding the sentence I did. You should really be more open-minded to others' edits, or you just get this needless battling, with people who probably just want good articles like I assume you do! Assume good faith, and try being friendly to new people on here. Man... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.45.72.26 (talk) 01:16, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

But your citations didn't actually support your claim: you just linked to a news article which referred to the 1986-1989 band as the original line-up - you weren't actually supporting your claim that they are "often referred to as the 'original lineup'". Funeral 01:20, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, then you could of simply asked me to look for more or better citations if you had issue with them. You don't have to just wipe out others' edits and make disparaging remarks like "fan boy".

Hey folks. This page isn't really for disputes. Could you move this to your talk pages or the article talk page or something? Thanks. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 01:22, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

A short explanation of the incident. Deathmark is continuously reverting edits mad by 3 other editors. After 2 warnings, still continues even after consensus was reached by the 3 editors. penubag  01:39, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

This was a pretty extensive edit war, with DeathMark reverting against several other users. As such, I've blocked him for 24 hours. Some of his opponents in the edit war have also reverted quite a bit, especially Comandante42‎. I've warned him not to do so in the future, and left a less stern reminder for Geoff B.

• Diff of 3RR warning:

A short explanation of the incident. Octavian history (talk) 05:00, 27 January 2008 (UTC) User Teleomatic has reverted the same section on Hajj Amin Elahi page 4 times within 24 hours. I have warned him many times in the past about the 3RR rule, but he simply deleted my warning. He keeps removing valid citations and will not stop. I need help stoping this guy. Thanks--Octavian history (talk) 05:00, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I am not sure this qualifies as 3RR, though I would say that there is an edit war in progress. Teleomatic reported that he checked these citations, and that the given page numbers do not corroborate the assertions made in the article. He tagged the article with {{citecheck}}, and a few days later, removed the citations and replaced them with {{fact}}. Octavian_history has since replaced the {{fact}} tags with the original citations, but this time without the page numbers (). The last such undo of Teleomatic's edits was made by a brand new account, User:Kurdestani (). The article's talk page will quickly reveal that there is an edit war in progress (Octavian_history also received a 3RR warning, from me (); yesterday the article itself was re-posted to AfD. If anyone else would care to weigh in on that article's talk page, it would be appreciated. Also note that one of the warnings Octavian_history gave to Teleomatic was an actual block notification (, reposted: ; as of this writing, Teleomatic has not received a block). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 06:42, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

• NOTE Please do not listen to gyrofrog, it absolutely is 3RR. Gyrofrog has a long history of stocking me and attacks my every move. It is 100% obvious that this does qualify as 3RR. --Octavian history (talk) 07:02, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Hence my suggestion that someone else might weigh in... -- Gyrofrog (talk) 07:16, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I strongly believe Gyrofrog is a sockpuppet for Teleomatic. What is 100% obvious is the fact the tele did brake the 3RR rule.--Octavian history (talk) 15:24, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, This a violation of the 3RR rule Compwhiz II_(Contribs) 16:16, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

• Gyrofrog is an admin and has declined to block. No previous version reverted to has been quoted therefore it is not clear that the first edit above is a revert and not a legitimate edit. This report is closed. Stifle (talk) 16:33, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

It should not matter that he is an admin according to wiki rules, I strongly believe Gyrofrog is a sockpuppet for Teleomatic, plus tel broke the 3RR rules. Just look at history I placed or on the history page. You must act fairly and according to wiki rules.--Octavian history (talk) 17:22, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

• This is not a place for discussion. We have considered your report and declined to take any further action. If you believe there are sockpuppets, list them at WP:SSP or WP:RFCU. This report is closed (really). Stifle (talk) 09:32, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

User:WebHamster reported by User:Skyring (Result: 8 hours; reporter blocked for 6 hours)

• Three-revert rule violation on

One of the "wikignome" tasks I enjoy is improving the overall standard of the project by setting wikidates to either International Dating or American Dating format, as per the Manual of Style. I noticed that the birthdate in Alan Parsons was displaying incorrectly, and corrected it. User:WebHamster reverted it, and revealed in an extraordinary series of abusive messages that he was unaware of how date preferences work, whilst accusing me of the same, ignoring my explanations and suggestions that he inform himself as to the MoS guidelines and the template instructions. I have been doing this minor work for some time, as anyone may see, and I keep myself informed. Given the attitude of this user, as shown in the following diffs, I request some action be taken.

Pete (talk) 14:11, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Anyone also perusing those diffs will also notice that Skyring has also breached the 3RR limit. I perceived his changes as vandalism due to his deleting the {{Template:Death date and age}} in the infobox and hard-coding the date in spite of the fact that the preferred method in the musical artist infobox is to use the template. I considered this to be vandalism and reverted accordingly. If an interested admin will also note that I did not revert any of the hard-coded dates which were changed by Skyring. In messages to me I try to explain, unsuccessfully, that template derived dates display differently depending upon user preferences or system settings. Also that WP:MOS#date does not applied to template derived dates, and it most certainly doesn't recommend deleting template inclusions in favour of a hard-coded world date format. --WebHamster 14:56, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

It appears that WebHamster is unaware of the documentation of the template he uses, which contradicts his forceful statements here and elsewhere. --Pete (talk) 15:01, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Of course I'm aware of the documentation, though I would like you to narrow down in it where you think I've gone wrong, then whilst you're at it point me at the related bit in WP:MOS#date that justifies what you are doing deleting the recommended templated age/date code. I consider your changes with regard to deleting the template inclusion as out and out vandalism based on a skewed understanding of MoS. Whilst you have a minute I recommend you re-read the link I gave you with regard to the "Born" element of the musical artist infobox--WebHamster 15:11, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

• None of the edits qualify as simple vandalism, which is to say vandalism that would be obvious to someone who has never edited the page before. WebHamster has violated 3RR and is blocked for 8 hours. Skyring, while he has not strictly violated 3RR, has definitely used reverting instead of discussion and is blocked for 6 hours for edit warring. Stifle (talk) 16:37, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I've just left a warning for him. Propol, he does have a point about that section, which really is problematic BLP-wise. Can you please find a way to rewrite it, so that it relies only on very good sources, and is written in a less breathless tone?

User:VegardNorman is POV-pushing a semi-religious/ethnic agenda by using dubious sources, taking quotes out of context, etc., in order to attack the ethnicity of the Assyrian people. His sources are for example, an indopedia link, which is a direct copy of an old revision of the Aramaeans article. He's also citing Megalommatis, a fringe web-publicist who has claimed that modern Europeans are Assyrians (another attack on the Assyrian identity). User:VegardNorman is also involved in pushing his agenda and revert wars on other articles, such as Western Assyrians (which he's trying to redirect to Western Syriacs), Aramaeans, and so on. He should be given a 24h block to cool him down. EliasAlucard (Discussion · contribs) 01:28, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

I have tried to come to a compramise and incorporate a short explination of the very contentious legal dispute but every addition and new source i have added has simply been removed and replaced with only the view of the Israeli Government. This has become a nationalist POV page which doesnt so much as mention the view of the rest of the world or the international community. Gilo has a very contentious legal foundation which has come to the worlds and medias attention. I think it is important to note this and not simply the view of one government - who, at least in this case, uses the term 'neighborhood' to conjure up images of an area of a city having been rightfully inhabited for a long time, when this is simply not the case. He has made more than 4 full reverts in less than 12 hours and something like 12 edits in 12 hours which further reverted valid additions and sources.

"Atlan" continues to delete relevent information without providing any reason. He has misinterpreted the WP rule regarding song lyrics, and is using that as an excuse to randomly delete information. He constantly monitors the Boston College page and seems to treat it as his own personal webpage. He has flatly refused to engage in any discussion of the matter (when I suggested he start a discussion to explain why he keeps randomly deleting information, he replied "do it yourself.") He has also refused to compromise. When I suggested that we could compromise by posting the disputed BC fight song lyrics elsewhere and simply linking to them from the main BC page, he just continued to "undo" my changes without compromise or discussion. 170.63.96.108 (talk) 13:21, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

An anonymous user has been editing the Ritchie Jones article to state that Jones has been allowed a free transfer from Manchester United. They also claim that this has been reported on Manchester United's official television channel, Manchester United TV. However, I have been unable to find a source for this on the internet, and so I reverted the anon's edit. They then undid my edit, stating that I was vandalising the article. After their third revert, I issued them with a 3RR warning, and reverted their edit. They have now reverted my edits for a fourth time in the last seven hours, so I am reporting the issue here. The anon claims to be Jones' agent, but this cannot be verified either, and also represents a Conflict of Interest issue. – PeeJay 15:59, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

• Benjiboi is an editor for almost two years. I have been in trouble with him about this before so he positively knows the rule. If any diff is needed, then this proves that he has been warned before and acknowledged the warning.

Benjiboi is very protective of his cherished version of the Rosie O'Donnel article, trying (for reasons unknown, probably POV) to retain certain not actually relevant information and certain wordings. His behaviour is a also a clear violation of WP:OWN as he repeatedly asks those editors to revert to brings to talk to "decide" the issue (apparently with him as final arbiter) without posting on talk himself. He did this to me (even though we have been through the issues some time last year), he did this to another editor today. He also uses false statements in his edit summaries (talking about changing a quote when there is no quote) while ignoring other people's edit summaries.

Well, I will accept a certain knowledge on that particular article as I have personally gone through most every bit of that article sourcing items that needed it and verifying interesting items being removed as a part of vandalism or POV-pushing in any direction. I don't see that I have prohibited anyone from editing but I will take a firm stance against removing sources, altering quotes to switch out "pedophilia" for "child abuse" and otherwise violating BLP issues I will also do the same and have done so on other BLP. Str1977 and I have been on this page before on nearly identical content with this article because they were edit warring and, as in this case, continued to do so until encouraged to utilize talk pages before again deleting content and altering quotes etc. I turned to 3rr last time as a last resort because no amount of reasoning would convince them that a press release and a right-wing blog were rather poor sources. The article remain stable for some time then they appeared again to change content to show the subject in a less than stellar light. On the article's talk pages seems filled with this user's determination to prove O'Donnell is anti-Catholic. I have consistently persisted that reliable sources were and are the best way to demonstrate this and have stated so and remained extremely communicative with anyone wishing to have open discussion. Str1977's has tended to simply delete material until compelled to dialog. I have also show a good faith effort, I believe, to trim material and add clarity so content was more neutral and hopefully more acceptable. In fairness I can see that Str1977 and Mamalujo, another ardent pro-Catholic editor would be upset about assertions of pedophile priests existing but that is the subject of Deliver Us from Evil and that is what was discussed. Benjiboi 17:11, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Please also see user's post to my talk page. Benjiboi 17:15, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Benjiboi, don't try to switch the subject. That your accusations of other people changig quotes is false is beside the point here - you have violated the 3R-rule. No, you continue by personal attacks on mine and another editors religion and issue nonsensical, off-topic demands. Str1977 17:20, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

I take strong offense that you have continued to claim that I have lied/deceived and engage in personal attacks. Those were sourced quotes (both in quotation marks) you both were changing to edit out "pedophilia". You were also continually removing sources which I continue to see as problematic. I never attacked you or your religion and, in fact, stated I think it's a diservice to Catholics to characterize O'Donnell as anti-Catholic as that mitigates the damage actual anti-Catholics do. I'm also not changing the subject nor have I "issue nonsensical, off-topic demands". On my talk page you also wrote "Probably some POV nonsense. But please don't bother explaining as I actually don't care." Well I do care and have worked many months to improve the article and add sourcing, clarity and to correct errors. If something on the article is wrong we should correct it but that doesn't mean we change history to our liking. If something she said isn't true then we should produce a WP:RS to demonstrate that and figure out how to neutrally present both aspects. "O'Donnell said X but Y is actually true." Benjiboi 17:54, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Even if all this were true (and it isn't), you still are not allowed to revert six times. Get it? Now stop this futile discussion. 3RR applies to all, even if they think they are in the right. Str1977 18:05, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

I am not discussing, I am merely protesting admin misbehaviour. You get your facts wrong: not a page but a user has been reported not just for edit warring but for violating the 3RR.
