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.

Edit war on Plovdiv by User:Avidius and User:ILike2BeAnonymous reported by User:CoJaBo (Result: Users asked to cease edit war.)

• Three-revert rule violation on Plovdiv (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Avidius (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and ILike2BeAnonymous (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log): Time reported: 20:37, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

• Previous version reverted to: Avidius, ILike2BeAnonymous

• Diff of 3RR warning: Avidius, ILike2BeAnonymous

Edit war involving the link Plovdiv: Granada of the East on Plovdiv. Attempts have been made to discuss the issue on the talk page, yet the reverting still goes on. Avidius insists the link is unnecessarily biased. ILike2BeAnonymous insists the link should remain because it presents an alternative view. Most of the last 100 edits to Plovdiv are Avidius and ILike2BeAnonymous (and a few others) reverting between the version with the link, and the version without. CoJaBo (talk) 20:37, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Couldn't find a technical violation but the edit war is way out of hand. Users asked to cease disruptive edit war: and . Page will be watched. CIreland (talk) 12:36, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

User:Bueller reported by User:Commodore Sloat (Result: No action)

• Three-revert rule violation on

Douglas J. Feith (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Bueller (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log): Time reported: 09:00, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

• Previous version reverted to: 12:32, 4 February 2008
  • (Note - there were some intermediate changes by an anon ip, but the material that Bueller keeps deleting is contained in these edits).

• 1st revert: 14:15, 5 February 2008 (sequence of several edits)
• 2nd revert: 19:11, 5 February 2008
• 3rd revert: 01:16, 6 February 2008
• 4th revert: 01:46, 6 February 2008

• Diff of 3RR warning: 01:49, 6 February 2008

I think the user should be blocked if he fails to heed the 3RR warning. If he self-reverts I do not think he should be blocked. But that is my opinion; I don't know what the usual practice is; he's been a user for 2 years and appears familiar enough with the rules. The fact that he has edited for two years as basically a single-purpose account may be relevant (he has mostly edited this article alone). csloat (talk) 09:00, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

The edit war seems to have stopped and Bueller has not touched the page since the warning. It's customary to warn someone before reporting them. Closing with no action for now. Stifle (talk) 11:03, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

So 4 reverts is OK then? Shouldn't bueller have self-reverted? Is it ok for me to revert him now (which would be my fourth revert)? Can an admin at least explain to bueller that he has violated the rule and that such action normally would lead to a block? The only reason he stopped reverting is because his last revert is the last change on the page. csloat (talk) 16:53, 6 February 2008 (UTC) PS I did warn Bueller before reporting him. csloat (talk) 16:53, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Explanation given.

The intention given is that a warning should be given and ignored (i.e. a further revert made afterwards) before a relatively new user is reported and blocked. Stifle (talk) 17:33, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Is two years still considered relatively new around here? I didn't even think a warning was necessary given the user seemed familiar with the rules but I gave one anyway just because I didn't want to seem punitive about it. Anyway I appreciate you commenting on his talk page; a warning from the person he's edit warring with is not nearly as likely to be heeded as a warning from an uninvolved admin. csloat (talk) 18:24, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

User:74.77.222.188 reported by User:Fair Deal (Result:24h block)

• Three-revert rule violation on AC/DC (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). 74.77.222.188 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log): Time reported: 11:39, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

• 4th revert: 09:53, 6 February 2008
• 5th revert: 10:59, 6 February 2008

Comment IP user has been edit warring across several articles over the past few weeks. Has a previous history of warnings and blocks.(previous block log) Editor has also ignored WP:CIVIL and WP:NPA on both article talk pages and user talk pages. Fair Deal (talk) 11:39, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

User blocked 24 hours. CIreland (talk) 12:50, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

User:Svetovid reported by User:Squash Racket (Result: Blocked, 12 hours; parties cautioned)

• Three-revert rule violation on

Hedvig Malina (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Svetovid (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log): Time reported: 15:01, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

• Previous version reverted to: 16:34, 5 February 2008

• 1st revert: 20:02, 5 February 2008
• 2nd revert: 10:57, 6 February 2008
• 3rd revert: 13:16, 6 February 2008
• 4th revert: 13:45, 6 February 2008

• Diff of 3RR warning: 13:12, 6 February 2008, although he had already made a report himself.

This user broke 3RR. These are his main reverts, but actually he deleted others' contributions many times during the day. Among others he is deleting text from the article and the references supporting them. He made controversial changes without discussion first.
On the 17th/18th of January he already broke 3RR at the article Trenčín without being reported, but this time he doesn't seem to stop. He called my 3RR warning 'inflammatory, rude' and a 'personal attack'. Squash Racket (talk) 15:01, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Is the third revert a real revert? It seems more like expansion and the "fourth" revert is the real revert to this new version. That would make only three reverts in 24 hours. The edit war between Svetovid, Hobartimus, and Squash Racket appears to be over now anyway because the article is now listed in Misplaced Pages:Requested moves and users are engaged in a discussion on the article's talk page. But I might be too optimistic, of course. Tankred (talk) 16:15, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

The third revert is just like the others and in fact he made way more disruptive edits in 24 hours than just four. Squash Racket (talk) 16:20, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Svetovid has engaged in disruptive behaviour, and it cannot be permitted to continue: the user is Blocked – for a period of 12 hours Additionally, I have issued a warning to Squash Racket, who was also engaging in edit warring, although admittedly to less a degree than that to which Svet. was. Hopefully all the parties can move on, and engage in meaningful discussion, with the aim of working towards a compromise, rather than disrupting the article.

User:Momento reported by User:24.98.132.123 (Result: semi-protected)

• Three-revert rule violation on

Prem Rawat. Momento (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log): Time reported: 19:38, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

• Previous version reverted to:

• 1st revert:
• 2nd revert:
• 3rd revert:
• 4th revert:
• 5th revert:

• Diff of 3RR warning:

Despite requests on user's talk page has not discussed issue and instead has performed multiple reverts. 24.98.132.123 (talk) 19:38, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

I repeatedly deleted 24.98.132.123 inclusion of this article ]. as a violation of BLP. It has since been deleted on 21:20, 6 February 2008 by David D. (Talk | contribs) (52,115 bytes) (→Media: this has nothing to do with the subject) (undo). Thanks.Momento (talk) 22:32, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Observation from the sidelines: Both editors appear to be acting in good faith, although I am disturbed at the apparent bias displayed by Momento in zealously eliminating all traces of sourced and notable criticism of the subject. The criticism exists, it comes from notable sources such as ex-members of the organization, and respectable publications (books and newspapers) are available to back it up. Citing WP:BLP as a catch-all excuse for deleting criticism doesn't seem proper. If the criticism is valid (and it appears to be) then it should be included, with sources, and improved rather than deleted repeatedly. If it were me, I'd block both editors for a week so that others can make positive contributions to the article. =Axlq (talk) 00:07, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Ex-members and tabloid newspapers are not suitable sources for a BLP when there are many noted sociologists and religious scholars to use. In this case The Register article is completely innappropriate.Momento (talk) 00:14, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Speaking as someone with no involvement in this article: On the contrary, ex-members (especially an organized group of them) have a perspective and experience that sociologists and religious scholars sorely lack. When it comes to criticism, Momento appears to have a double standard regarding sources; this comment is telling. Verifiability and reliability are sufficient; academic credentials aren't a requirement. Ex-members are verifiable and reliable sources for their own criticisms.

I see no need to continue this conversation further. I stand by my comment that both editors should be banned for a week, for violating 3RR. =Axlq (talk) 00:52, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

As the article has been semi-protected, apparently due to vandalism concerns, there's probably no block necessary, but I'll leave this up for a bit in case another admin disagrees. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 02:34, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't know whether IP 24.98.132.123 relates to any of the editors of the article. At the time he couldn't have edited the article without logging in as the article was already semi-protected before this incident (I think... a semi-protection tag was up all the time and I saw no IP's edit the article in that period). Anyway, I also issued a 3RR warning for Onefinalstep (talk · contribs) , who was Momento's counter-part edit-warrior most of the time for (re-)insertion of the material deleted by Momento in the same period.

As an alleviating circumstance, both engaged in talk page discussion. --Francis Schonken (talk) 13:54, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

User:GeeAlice reported by User:Zerida (Result:Indef. block)

• Three-revert rule violation on

Image:Egyptian.jpg. GeeAlice (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log): Time reported: 23:51, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

• Previous version reverted to: 00:46

• 1st revert: 00:48
• 2nd revert: 9:37
• 3rd revert: 15:20
• 4th revert: 15:30

I've had to supply a url because the page in question is for an image, not an article. User is aware of 3RR because it's almost definitely a sockpuppet of banned User:Jeeny, but also because I found a post where she mentions it . User:Jeeny had a history of disruption on Egypt-related articles, so it was only a matter of time before this was going to happen. I plan to file an RFCU. — Zerida 23:51, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

RFCU filed. — Zerida 00:36, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

This person is retaliating over a tag I placed for an image rename Image:Egyptians.jpg to Egyptian collage.jpg. I first had Egyptian people collage, but shortened it because of his revert, and rude edit summary. No communication from him, except for short rude comments. In fact, he is the one who kept reverting after I tried to explain the reason, and broke the 3RR rule. It is NOT an article, it is a tag to leave to the admin to decide if it is better to name it to the new, more DESCRIPTIVE name. That's all. ←Gee♥Alice 01:56, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm not willing to block because both users are edit warring. Of course, if it turns out that GeeAlice is an abusive sock, it will be fine to revert him/her again, but in the meantime, please don't edit war here. I'll be watching the page to make sure no one does. Thanks. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 02:46, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

CheckUser confirmed identity and user was indefinitely blocked. And I wouldn't be "editing warring" if I wasn't certain it was an abusive sockpuppet, though this should be mor patently obvious to someone who's interacted with the user. — Zerida 19:50, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

User:Lear 21 reported by User:Sandpiper (Result:3 weeks)

• Three-revert rule violation on

European Union (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Lear 21 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log): Time reported: 01:39, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

• Previous version reverted to: 10:21

• 2nd revert: 14:59
• 3rd revert: 22:34
• 4th revert: 23:41
• 5th revert:23:48

• Diff of 3RR warning: 19:54 12 November 2007

User Lear 21 has persistently edited this page agressively including violations of 3RR whenever the page is not to his liking. The page has twice been locked from editing over content disputes where Lear was the major party on one side of the dispute, and he engaged in multiple violation reverts. It is no more likely that locking the page for a third time will discourage lear from continuing this behaviour in the future than it has been thus far. Last time this happened I checked and noted policy that locking a page for a content dispute is discouraged. Perhaps some other action can be taken this time? Sandpiper (talk) 01:39, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

User Lear 21 has not violated 3RR according to Misplaced Pages policies. The user has reestablished a consensus layout/section-heading already existing for more than half a year and is supported by several editors. User Lear 21 has argued for this consensus version at the talk page this time and is still supported by a majority. The accusing User Sandpiper and another user have instead developed a long history of disruptive editing vandalizing majority consensus at the EU article. Without gaining support of their proposals at the discussion forum. The listed 5 reverts are different edits and indicate no violation of any suggested policy. Lear 21 (talk) 02:41, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Quite the contrary. There is no requirement that all edits be the same in order for them to qualify: any four reverts, in whole or in part, count. More importantly, Lear is very clearly edit warring. This is to say, he is essentially attempting to force his version (the one saying "Economy") through by repeatedly reverting. Because of the rather long history he has with edit warring, I have blocked for three weeks. SouthernElectric has also been edit warring, and therefore I have blocked for 24 hours (this being a first offence). Heimstern Läufer (talk) 03:06, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

What policy justifies a 3 week block? All edits are clearly different, are backed at the talk page by the majority of editors and have argued in detail by myself !!!! I am merely upholding a consensus layout. There is clearly no violation. Please reconsider the decision. Lear 21—Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.179.10.76 (talk) 03:13, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I've answered you on my talk. I've also already told you how to contest your block. Now, please stop using IPs to get around the block. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 03:22, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

• Diff of 3RR warning: DIFFTIME

A short explanation of the incident. Soulscanner (talk) 04:19, 7 February 2008 (UTC) Removal of various POV tags that identify passages and sources currently being verified and discussed on talk page.

This report is not unexpected, rather limited in scope, and of course one-sided. This disruptive editor has been placing 'dubious' and 'neutrality' tags on various assertions in 'Dominion' that said editor disagrees with despite the sources fully conforming with Misplaced Pages policies (some accompanied by quotes) and with little justification, doing so without good faith or salient reason, and with misleading commentaries on the talk page. In essence, this editor is unable to compel through argument and/or sourcing, with similar behaviour going back to related edits on 'Canada' in Sep./Oct., and said placement of tags on selected notions herein is a a hyper-reaction. This editor has also initiated an arbitration case regarding this, without making salient attempts to seek mediation despite claims -- again, a hyper-reaction. As per my request on the RfA page and as a result of said editor's continual dickery, I hereby request the 'Dominion' article be locked until further notice. Moreover, since it takes two to tango, any administrative actions taken against me (and I may have violated 3RR) should be exacted upon Soulscanner too. I contend this report is arguably an attempt to quell opposition. In any event, I hereby pledge to refrain from edit warring on this article, and to not be drawn into additional edit wars with this editor. Quizimodo (talk) 04:24, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

It's customary to warn people and give them a final chance before reporting them here. As Quizimodo was not warned and has agreed to stop edit warring, I am not going to block on this occasion. Soulscanner did not violate 3RR, stopping before the fourth revert. Stifle (talk) 10:27, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

User:Soulscanner reported by User:G2bambino (Result:See above)

• Three-revert rule violation on

• Diff of 3RR warning: No warning issued, but as this user reported User:Quizimodo above, he's obviously aware of 3RR.

A short explanation of the incident. A brief inspection of User:G2bambino and User:Quizimodo talk page histories, and patterns of reverts above show that two cited editors are colluding to remove neutrality tags placed by me on that page. I've already pointed them to Wiki's policy that if there is a dispute about neutrality tags on an article, there probably is a neutrality issue. ]'s pledge above seems somewhat disingenuous given this context. Again, tags in question identify pertinent claims and sources currently being debated by various editors at relevant talk page. Soulscanner (talk) 05:03, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Quizimodo hasn't contacted me for months. Since he did yesterday, I've taken one look at Dominion, and offered a comment at talk. That's hardly collusion; perhaps you need to tone down the conspiracy theories? Regardless, I believe you've violated 3RR, in the process of an antagonistic edit war, no less. But, we shall let more experienced people be the judge. --G2bambino (talk) 05:10, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Folded into the above report. Stifle (talk) 10:34, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I've blocked G2bambino for doing this, which is completely out of order. Stifle (talk) 22:03, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I should most certainly think not. --G2bambino (talk) 22:41, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Quite. It arose from another user and me taking edits out of conflict, and G2bambino was not out of order. Stifle (talk) 09:09, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

A short explanation of the incident. The pattern here is clear. In this old edit war the editors in question replaced a number of descriptors for Canada (federation, federal state, etc.) with words containing the word Dominion. User:G2bambino would continue the edit war stopped by User:Quizimodo when informed of violating 3RR rule. This is over the same content issue as the current Dominion article, and the same pattern is employed. I do not wish to be drawn into a similar edit war in the case above, but I do not want relevant neutrality tags removed in the case above either. I did not put this 3RR violation here before because it was the first time I'd seen it, and made a request to pp-dispute lock on the page, which was granted and made the 3RR report unnecessary. Please see link to Edit history page. Soulscanner (talk) 08:08, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Multiple users edit warring - page protected for a week. Stifle (talk) 10:38, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I haven't bothered to check the validity of the report, but really, bringing up something from four months ago? Truly, what more can this be than retaliation for my report against Soulscanner above? --G2bambino (talk) 17:03, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I misread the dates and have unprotected the page since. I am going to warn Soulscanner about the purpose of this noticeboard. Stifle (talk) 09:11, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

User User:ScrotalRaphe has decided that a large number of articles need a photo of his genitals. He has violated the 3RR on Perineal raphe and is well on the way towards doing so on Erection, Glans penis, and Glans. Suggestions that he discuss his additions on the talk pages of the articles have, thus far, been fruitless. Nandesuka (talk) 16:21, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Also has made 3rr reports on others

Utilizes a style of ownership of articles and attempts to force an opinion on an article. Seems to edit in a very pro-caucasian style as can be seen by his edits. One example being removing the ethnic catagory of an African placing him as being portuguese (White) . Has made reports on others concerning non consensus behavior as well even though many of his edits are reversion of others. Also almost solely edits on racial type catagories on all his edits.

The person who had the audacity to file that frivolous report is none other that the banned User:Mykungfu/ReadyToLive/UnclePaco, etc, etc.

He's been using several IPs to revert the Dominican Republic article to the same basic version, in the process undoing the work several good-faith editors have done over the past week. Here's a list of his reverts:

• 00:11, 7 February 2008 IP: 67.87.197.9
• 23:55, 6 February 2008 IP: 67.87.197.9

• 02:00, 6 February 2008) IP: 150.210.226.2 (note it's the one he used on this noticeboard)
• 03:30, 3 February 2008 IP: 66.152.198.210

Other vandalism also by 66.152.198.210:

• 08:32, 3 February 2008
• 05:05, 3 February 2008 (notice he actually calls it vandalism himself)
• 03:28, 3 February 2008.

And also this, by 150.210.176.64, which seems related to 150.210.226.2:

• 22:31, 1 February 2008.

I'm not the only one who's found this behavior offensive. The last editor to revert him was another of the article's principal editors.

User 150.210.226.6 is a net negative to Misplaced Pages, and I'm very confident that he is in fact the banned user Mykungfu.

David Matthew Hicks (born 7 August 1975) is an Australian who, after five years detention by the United States government for involvement with terrorism, entered into a plea bargain to become the first and only Guantanamo Bay detainee to be convicted under the U.S. Military Commissions Act of 2006. Hicks's treatment, trial process and outcome, and the newly created legal system under which these events took place, drew widespread criticisms and controversy.

A short explanation of the incident: I am submitting this notice because WP:3RR says: 'Editors may still be blocked even if they have made three or fewer reverts in a 24 hour period, if their behavior is clearly disruptive. The above reverts apply to the work of several users who have all tried and failed to moderate the opening paragraph away from User:Skyring's preferred wording. User:Skyring claims his preffered wording is "consensual" but active editors want to change it and have been consistently prevented from doing so by no-compromise reverting over several weeks.

Please note also that the 10th revert was marked by User:Skyring as "minor". Wm (talk) 08:58, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Given Skyring's block log, a 31-hour block for edit warring is warranted. Stifle (talk) 09:18, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

User received several warnings about adding unsourced editorial comments on shadow people. User doesn't appreciate warnings, and doesn't respond except to blank his talk page each time he receives a new warning. The reverts are somewhat under the radar for 4 reverts in 24 hours, but he's consistently reverting about 3 times per day. (Well, if you count his talk page blankings, he's reversion rate is above 4 per day.)

"Last version reverted to" is dated later than 1st revert because of improvements people are attempting to make to the article while the reversion war continues. Amatulić (talk) 21:05, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
