    Welcome to the edit warring noticeboard Shortcuts Update this page

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

    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.

    Definition of edit warring
    Edit warring is a behavior, typically exemplified by the use of repeated edits to "win" a content dispute. It is different from a bold, revert, discuss (BRD) cycle. Reverting vandalism and banned users is not edit warring; at the same time, content disputes, even egregious point of view edits and other good-faith changes do not constitute vandalism. Administrators often must make a judgment call to identify edit warring when cooling disputes. Administrators currently use several measures to determine if a user is edit warring.
    Definition of the three-revert rule (3RR)
    An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Violations of this rule normally attract blocks of at least 24 hours. Any appearance of gaming the system by reverting a fourth time just outside the 24-hour slot is likely to be treated as a 3RR violation. See here for exemptions.

    Sections older than 48 hours are archived by Lowercase sigmabot III.

    Twinkle's ARV can be used on the user's page to more easily report their behavior, including automatic handling of diffs.

    Comments: the only difference between the version reverted to and the presented diffs is the ref-tagging of a passage already present in the article. the actual prose within the article is constant in the original version and the subsequent reverts to it. this user has been blocked in the past for 3RR violations, and on this occasion constantly reverted to a very charged narrative.

    Comment- This user was recently accused of being a suspected sockpuppet of Cute 1 4 U. She repeated delete warnings on her talk page as well. Her IP address, as she claims, is 66.55.225.212.

    People don't get blocked for 3RR on their talk pages. OTOH you may be if you persist there William M. Connolley 08:22, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
    In my defense the reason I deleted his/her comments is because this user continued to post snide "warnings" Anonymously on my talk page, despite asking him not to and the despite the initial warning that all unsigned comments (aside OFFICIAL warnings and notices from WP staff and Admins) would be deleted. This user continued to post the same message (I counted about 6 times). He/She was just trying to start drama on my talk page. And apparently is trying to move the drama to this notice board.
    And FYI I was CLEARED of the said charges of being a sockpuppet of Cute 1 4 U and even User:Aeon1006 apoligised to me about the matter on my talk page. Thanks for your time over this ludicrous matter. Sweet Pinkette 14:15, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

    Time report made: 23:03, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

    Comments: Warned previoulsy in his talk page and I recently warned him as well of him violating 3RRV, yet he refused to comply or discuss logically in the discussion page. I started writing this up, but then he finally said he would revert the info back to what was there, and i was satsified with that. I looked at the page and saw that the top of the edit history showed he had in fact reverted back to what i had there prviously, but then when i looked at the current article again, it was back to what it was when he reverted my edition wholy or in part previously. So then i looked back at the edit page and magically the last edit he had on the edit page, the edit that supposedly reverted the material back, had somehow vanished. I can only guess he also edited the edit history of the page as well. So it looks like he not only went over the 3 revert limit, he also wentand altered the history of the page somehow. That's purely speculation however, and I assume you guys have some way of checking that. I've never filled one of these out before so hopefully I did it resonably correctly.

    Explanation from Ramdrake:
    While I have gone to 3 reverts on this occasion, the 4th revert attributed to me is in fact an edit. I have tried to be reasonable with this editor (please see the edit summary of Intelligence quotient along with the talk page: Talk:Intelligence_quotient, but he has shown to be totally illogical (as per the talk page of Intelligence Quotient), verbally abusive (to the point I had to leave a warning on his user talk page) on Talk:Intelligence_quotient and launched into a revert war. My only error was to let myself get dragged into said revert war. Should I be found guilty of 3RR violation, I would only ask that consideration be given that this user also engaged in the revert war, and that penalties be meted out on both sides, as the reviewing admin sees fit for both behaviors. Thanks for hearing me out.--Ramdrake 23:17, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
    Also, for the record, the user has now reinstated twice an uncivil comment and personal attack removed from a talk here as per WP:NPA
    Here is my initial removal:
    And here are the two instances he reinstated them. Please also notice the edit summaries accompanying these reverts:--Ramdrake 23:49, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
    User Ernham has just reverted the removal of his uncivil comments once more: . Could an admin please look into it and issue the proper warnings or actions? This user seems totally out of control.--Ramdrake 23:49, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
    Now he has continually reverted my comments in the discussion, breaking the 3RR -- again. He feels that my opinion of some of the studies he cites as being "trash" science because they are written like op-eds in a newspaper is somehow a personal attack. I'm not even reading any of the stuff he wrote above. I've had enough of him and his control-freakish behaviorErnham 03:38, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
    Here are user Ernham's comments in question:
    Bunch of trash that reads like op-ed pieces in the New York times. Pfft. You got a PhD in BS, I figure, sure, uhuh. Ernham 22:41, 29 September 2006 (UTC) ()
    He has been warned there and on his talk page that this constitutes a personal attack and uncivil language. Nevertheless, he has continued with a fourth revert to this foul language (ref just above). I haven't reverted any other comments of his. I would dare say his constant reintroduction of this injurious material constitutes vandalism, and the appropriate warning has been placed on his user talk page, in addition with the previous warning about NPA. I rest my case.--Ramdrake 03:47, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

    Now he continues to (he has been all night) bothering me in various ways on my talk page, usually a variety of veiled threats. Mr. Ramdrake claims to have a PhD in BS,yet he continually cites athropological and psychology studies. This lead me to the sarcastic response of "Yeah, sure, you have PhD in BS." I doubt he does. In any event, he made it clear on his first response of supposed personal attack(either in my own talk page or the discussion page he just violated anothher 3RR on, i forget which) that it was not anything rleated to my sarcastic responce of PhD of BS(biological science), but instead of calling the cites/studies he supplied as "trash". Now he's changed those comments and wants to pretend he had issue with the PhD comment I made and immediately clarified its meaning. i actually work with half a dozen PhDs of BS, and i have this funny feeling he isn't one. Heh. But that's neither here nor there. I'm not responding to him or this matter again until this matter has touched upon by an admin Ernham 03:54, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

    Diffs not versions please. I've blocked Ernham for 3h for incivility William M. Connolley 07:45, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

    As Ernham's talk page will attest, the "veiled threats" are simply two standard warnings: one for incivility (already dealt with), the second because the multiple reversal of the removal of his comments on the talk page of Intelligence quotient (removal as per WP:NPA and WP:RPA) can and was interpreted as vandalism and treated as repeated addition of nonsense (under WP:VANDAL). All the other interactions that took place on his page are merely explanations related to one or the two points in this paragraph. For authentic veiled threats, please refer to the comments user Ernham left on my talk page: . And again, sorry if this situation mixes up a 3RR situation with one of misbehavior from the part of a user.--Ramdrake 11:51, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
    Sorry to add this again as an afterthought, but for the record I have no admin rights whatsoever, so I couldn't have done what Ernham is suspecting me of doing (altering an article's history page).
    Also, when I pointed out my qualifications I mentioned my Ph.D. was in neurobiology. He then retorted by calling it a Ph.D. in BS which under the circumstances I view as a direct insult.--Ramdrake 14:29, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
    This is disgrace that you would dare block me for incivility after someone is reported for violating the 3RR TWICE within hours of each other! Outrageous adminstrator bias. If you would have bothered to take the time to actually read the history of edits on here http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Talk:Intelligence_quotient&action=history
    You would have seen that, when making those comments about PhD in BS that he did not have issue with them. Nope. He had issue with me calling some cites trash. If that is the grounds by which you ban people for hours or even SECONDS, almost the entire wikipedia community would be banned the majority of their liftetimes. This is disgusting and smacks of biased moderation. Ernham 19:34, 30 September 2006 (UTC)


    And you better go look up what sarcasm is. What i said was no different from saying "why is it that someone that PhD in a biological science when you only supply cites from psychology and ahtropology sources when you are trying to disprove something related to biological science". needless to say it's much shorter. Do you "get it"? I'm going to be reporting this behavior to any other mods that listen. Totally bogus treatment. Ernham 19:39, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
    And finally, the second 3RRV and supposed "uncivility" issue did not have anytign to do with the previous violation of the 3RR, the one that is fully reported above. So you took the time to punish me for some trumped up "uncivility" claim, yet you did not bother to process the above complaint. Would you care to explain yourself and your behavior before I write you off as being a completely biased admin??Ernham 19:50, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
