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.

Excluding consecutive edits, there were 4 reverts

-The Four Deuces (talk) 00:17, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Four Deuces is a disruptive editor. He tries to own articles. He deletes well sourced material. He wont accept sources so one has to keep adding more sources. No matter how many there are he won't accept them. The edits above speak for themselves. I gave good explanations of my edits, both in the edit summaries and through extensive discussion on the talk page. There was no 3 revert violation. Some of what he's claiming is a revert is a partial revert with major working of a whole paragraph and addition of many sources. My edits are constructive, not destructive. This noticeboard complaint by him is just another attempt by him to prevent me from editing articles. He's made several such reports. It's a pattern. Introman (talk) 00:32, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

48h. Next time (though hopefully there won't be one), could you arrange the diffs to just show the 4 reverts, if necessary bundling 3 consecutive edits into one? Thanks, William M. Connolley (talk) 08:35, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Yes I will do that. Thank you for your patience. The Four Deuces (talk) 21:50, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Not sure if a block is warranted but requesting admin overview. IP editor was blocked yesterday for edit warring and bad faith attacks on Gibraltar. The block is currently in place but IP editor is continuing to edit with a new IP address see . I might not have reported were it not for the fact that the IP returned with further bad faith attacks . If this continues perhaps an IP range block may be necessary.

Errm, could you just delete the talk page comments rather than responding to them? I've blocked that IPs, but its a bit pointless because they will just get new ones William M. Connolley (talk) 16:13, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Any attempt to modify these edits has been reverted without explanation. SlimVirgin also has a technique of mixing controversial with non-controversial edits and then assigning a vague or misleading edit summary, so that when she is deleting favorable or adding negative commentary, she will often use a summary like "tidying."

This seems to be a continuation of this Dougweller (talk) 15:56, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

These look like mostly contiguous edits, which count as one. Can you remove the contiguous ones please, if you want this to be considered William M. Connolley (talk) 16:15, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Nothing to see here. Move along. This is blatant forum shopping with exagerated difs provided by Leatherstocking. Slim is reasonably pairing down an article which is prone to needlessly expand if left unchecked over time. The meaning of the article is not changed by the edits. Hiberniantears (talk) 16:22, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

OK, agreed William M. Connolley (talk) 17:17, 5 September 2009 (UTC)a

This is not a 3RR request. This is an open and shut case of edit warring. Slim is neither pairing nor paring the article -- she is reorienting it to her own POV, and edit warring to do so. If a rank and file editor did this, you would throw the book at him. Double standards undermine confidence in the project. --Leatherstocking (talk) 20:04, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

I agree. This *is* an open and shut case. You opened it; I've shut it William M. Connolley (talk) 20:12, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Echoing WMC here. Leatherstocking, there are tons of editors editing this article (it looks to me like over 100 edits a day, and many large chunks of edits from other people, yourself included), I don't see why you're focusing on one. If there are content issues, take them to the talk page. I see no edit warring here. rʨanaɢ /_contribs 20:15, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

This may also be linked to some recent blanking on Bellevue Baptist Church. The user keeps citing BLP (unusual for a newly registered user, who may have previous edited the Bellevue page under IPs) but the source given seems legit, at least to me. The user has now reverted to a version which includes part of the deleted text here, but I don't see anything wrong with the version that gave the full context. I am not going to revert further, for the moment as it is 01:54 and I need to sleep but will look at this again in the morning. Keep me posted. Darrenhusted (talk) 00:53, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Result - 24 hours. Looks more like an attempt to remove criticism from the article than a legitimate BLP concern. There can be no doubt that the widely-report events cited in this article really occurred. Though some of the newspaper articles from 2006 are no longer visible on line, Google easily finds corroboration of these facts from other reliable sources. The Aletheiaeleutheroseihymas account, created August 17, seems to have no interests on Misplaced Pages besides removing material from this article. EdJohnston (talk) 04:06, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

First of all I would like to report the following user for edit warring and causing disruption in the Kitchen Nightmares page. He brought in upon himself to changed the following pages by removing the updates of the restaurants without getting any concensus. The updates of the restaurants had references from reputed media and online sources.

• 9th revert:
• 10th revert:

Response: The proposal was made to remove the updates to the status of restaurants and discussed some days ago. User:Roman888 had the opportunity to participate, but did not. Consensus was reached, and is noted in the discussion by at least three editors; the rationale was based in part on issues of reliability of sources, and in part on a series of arguments made by User:Madchester on the article for the UK version of the show Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. Since then, two editors, one an anon IP have been blocked for edit warring by continually reverting, and two more anon IP's have made edits, all without engaging in discussion. Roman888 appeared this evening, both guns blazing, lacking in civility, determined to make this personal, and refusing to acknowledge the consensus in place, much less engage in any discussion. The edits he cites above are over a period of some days, and comparable edits were made by at least two other editors. There's an agenda at work here, having to do with Roman888's desire to add restaurant updates to the UK article, and my effort to encourage him to be civil and engage in discussion were met with this report. I have already made the admin User:Parsecboy aware of this situation, as he requested we do at the time he blocked the two previous users engaging in edit warring, in an attempt to resolve this amicably. Clearly, that's not possible where Roman888 is concerned. Drmargi (talk) 07:51, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Comments:

The Sea Shepherd organization is contentious so differences in opinion is expected. The question on whether to add this to the Eco-terrorism category resulted in several reverts between different editors with many coming from Tranquillity Base. It looks like this caused some bad blood since Tranquillity Base instantly reverted three adjustments to recent edits. A heads up was given in the edit summary and the talk page. I believe that my adjustments were justified but even if they were not discussion would have been appropriate. I don't know if a block is necessary since the editing is not intended to be disruptive but I would appreciate an admin making a mention to the editor that this behavior cannot continue.Cptnono (talk) 11:13, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Within your time range there are two effective reverts only, since contiguous edits count as one William M. Connolley (talk) 21:16, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

1 and 2 are separate removals of the catagory 3-5 is reverts of adjustments made. 6 was a contiguous edit of 5. It doesn't need to be labeled a revert to be in violation of the standards, correct? Also, even if the editor is not blocked, T-Base has been reverting a few edits a day for the last several days and certainly deserves some criticism. IP #68 does as well.Cptnono (talk) 21:32, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

2. Revision as of 10:21, 6 September 2009 The IP reverted the revert and after several edits Tranquillity removed the category again. I honestly don't care if it stays or goes while the discussion is going on but this is inappropriate on both sides.

3. Revision as of 10:30, 6 September 2009 This is a straight revert

4. Revision as of 10:35, 6 September 2009 So is this one.

This issue has also been discussed at WP:ANI#Sea Shepherd, where some intelligent things were said about the 'eco-terrorism' label. Though my impression is that WMC is not planning to take action on the original 3RR report, I would caution all parties against reverting controversial items without a patient search for Talk page consensus, perhaps even an WP:RFC.

There is no vandalism here, merely a dispute about the appropriateness of a source, namely a professional journalist's blog from the news publication Politico. User has reverted multiple editors and is not quite civil, IMO, on the talk page. Has been around since 2007 so he really should know better. Gamaliel (talk) 20:07, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

semi-stale but I don't see any evidence of contgrition, so blocked. However, I'd be sympathetic to unblocking if requested William M. Connolley (talk) 20:45, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: discussion

Comments: I appreciate nableezy contributions and opintion, but this looks like silly edit war to me.

Agada is trying to change text that has been stable for more than 6 months. I have asked him to keep it as is while we await other responses on the talk page. nableezy - 02:25, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Well, the change is in order to improve encyclopedic value of the article. I have no objection to you changing the article, in order to improve it, as you did earlier. So 6 months argument is not accurate, I can not accept it. I'm trying to hear to your arguments and implement your suggestions. Your edit pattern matches edit warring pattern. AgadaUrbanit (talk) 06:55, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Agada, the only other person on the talk page discussion, which I started, has agreed that it is better to leave it as it was. I am just asking you to wait for consensus from other editors once the edit has been reverted once. It is also edit warring to continually revert an edit over the objections of other editors. nableezy - 07:23, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

No vio. Agada admonished for failing to use the talk page for meaningful discussion. Leave out the geolocation nonsense, and don't try to make complex arguemnts through edit comments William M. Connolley (talk) 08:12, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

William, thank you for your resolution, I appreciate and respect it. This is really unrelated to discussion subject, though I'd like to relate to your "nonsense" remark. Maybe my skin is not think enough and maybe I'm over sensitive. I related to line of arguments like this which I consider as opposite to Wiki spirit. Generally editors find escape from sad subject of discussion in humour which sometimes challenge civility and good taste borders. Hope you see what I mean. Thanks again.

Edit warring here and a number of other articles in the users short time here. nableezy - 05:42, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

A warning about the technicalities and general concept of edit-warring may be in order. RM125 is a newbie editor that is "warned" by his editing opponents about everything and anything, whether its wiki-policy or not. Every once in a while one of the warnings sticks, as in this case, where there may have been a technical 3rr violation. One more point in order: Rm125 has thoroughly discusses his changes on the talk page. Tag-teamers have mostly ignored his comments with the knowledge that they won't go over 3rr in their reverts. In any case, a newbie final warning makes the most sense at this point. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 07:17, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

The newbie has already been blocked for edit warring, what other final warning is needed? nableezy - 07:21, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Incorrect.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 07:23, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

I apologize, you are correct. Rm125 was warned multiple times for edit warring but blocked for disruptive editing. nableezy - 07:32, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

That's better, but not perfect. He was "warned" by his editing opponents about every alphabetical policy that exists. Including one about WP:CANVASS when he asked for my (and nobody elses) opinion about an article because I'm the only editor that was actually nice to him since he stepped foot into Misplaced Pages. Instead of seeing how many different ways till Tuesday he can be blocked, we should be nurturing this new editor. He was blocked for being disruptive be not explaining his moves on the talkpage. He began colloberating with editors on teh talk page, but what does he get as a reward? Another ground for a block. No wonder we're having a difficult time getting new editors to join. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 07:40, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

He has been warned for edit warring at Haaretz multiple times (including once by an admin that as far as I can tell has never reverted the user), he has been edit warring at this page, at Al Ahram, at Blood libel, at nearly every page he has touched. You want to nurture him by all means go ahead, but he needs to learn to stop trying to force in a favored version of every article he sees. If an admin feels a final warning is in order then fine, I dont have a problem with that, but he cannot be allowed to continue this mass disruption at a number of pages. nableezy - 07:53, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Brewcrewer, please stop "enabling" Rm125, and let him take responsibility for his actions like a grown adult. He was warned about canvassing because he did canvass you and Jaakobou. He has spent nearly all of his time as a Misplaced Pages editor edit-warring on four articles. It's very noble that you want to protect Rm125, but he claims to be a grown-up, so he should take responsibility for his actions. It's not the other editors' fault, it's not the fact that English is his third language, it's not the "fact" that I'm a KGB Commissar—all things that Rm125 has charged—the bottom line is that Rm125 is an edit warrior and you're making excuses for him. Please stop. — ] (talk · contribs) 08:06, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

I've mentioned in this very thread that I want a neutral admin to warn him about 3rr and edit warring in general, so you're comment about "enabling him" is quite perplexing. Other than that, I guess I am a little weird in that I don't like seeing newbies blocked. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 08:11, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

How many "newbie final warnings" is Rm125 entitled to before somebody finally blocks him? Have you seen the edit history of his Talk page? He's edit-warring, and the project would be better-off if he had a time-out. — ] (talk · contribs) 08:16, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

24h. BC, your concern is admirable but somehow you have neglected to mention that you are making the same reverts as Rm125 . Please could you and Rm125 mark your reverts as such. No, extensive talk page discussion does not condone breaking 3RR William M. Connolley (talk) 08:17, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Comments:
There are several edits outside the reported ones but these fall within 24 hours. The problem is constant removal of a piece of text objected to by this editor and the supporting source. This was first done by an IP a few days before in a way similar to simple vandalism Revision as of 23:14, 29 August 2009 without any comment and was tagged by the system as :"references removed" (only visible in article history). The IP offered no comment for his action and the user (I'm unaware of any connection) offered also little commentary. User first said the "source does not exist" and after his concerns were addressed the source was re-verified and an additional web link added, plus the quote provided he still kept deleting the source and text, only switched his argument. The sourced text was not recently inserted it survived since it was added in 2008 January (). Without commenting on it I'd add that the user also has some intense reverts on another article Dezo Hoffmann. All the edits are marked as reverts by the automated tool twinkle that the user used to make the reverts. Hobartimus (talk) 13:19, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Wladthemlat often objects to I am reluctant to take part in any discussions with him which is true, due to his aggressive behaviour. He, following all my contributions, is almost always reverting me, insulting with a summary of "identified as vandalism". . It seems that usage of this edit summary of "identified as vandalism" has been going on, even after he being warned thorough on his talk page and in an edit summary, for what he answered to me with a provocative message on my talk page.

And after he had called me "a Hungarian with a tad overdeveloped sense of nationalism" on a talk page , I indeed tried to avoid any contact with him.--Nmate (talk) 13:50, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
