    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:

    "Brand new" account (created 2 days ago), trying to change long-standing well sourced content on numerous articles through sheer edit-warring. Even though I and others (@HistoryofIran:) have requested him, on numerous occassions, to refer to the talk page (per WP:BRD and WP:BURDEN]), he does not care at all. Looking at the evidence, in combination with the fact that he instantly removed the 3RR warning from his talk page, I think its safe to say that this account is here on a tendentious single purpose mission. - LouisAragon (talk) 18:58, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

    Your absolute first interaction with me consisted in deleting everything that I've written, dismissing it as "historical revisionism" (despite me actually attempting to correct early twentieth-century historical revisionism with modern-day research) and attacking me for being a new user. I only deleted the "warnings" that you posted on my talk page, because you deleted those that I put on yours. I am here to complement outdated and disproven content with new, academically-backed material. Please try to be civil, and don't be of bad faith. Pikermerle (talk) 19:06, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
    It appears that Pikermerle has already broken WP:3RR at Safavid dynasty family tree. Their version of the article always includes the unqualified claim that 'the Safavids were sayyids', while the prior version used more cautious language. They have now made this replacement five times, which gives them a total of four reverts. They may be able to avoid a block if they will agree to wait for consensus before making any more edits about the Safavids. EdJohnston (talk) 19:48, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
    Unfortunately Pikermerle went on to make a further revert, even after this olive branch. I have blocked for 24 hours. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 22:54, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
    What "further revert" and which "olive branch" are you referring to? I stopped editing these articles the moment I received a warning about the 3rd revert rule. The fact that you would block me after I stopped editing the articles and moved the discussion to the talk page is either a stupid mistake or highly ill-intentioned.

    Invloved in large dispute with User:Coltsfan - has been reported to SPI by them. RhinosF1 (talk) 12:23, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

    I refuse any involvement in sockpuppetry and I’m sorry if I violated any rule. I made good faith, productive edits and this guy is reverting me for no reason! Can someone be reasonable and check my contributions? I have no intention at all to disrupt Misplaced Pages. I didn’t add any new information that requires a source. I even tried to get reasonings from him but nevertheless, I’m being accused of using multiple accounts? I’m not even pov pushing, I don’t have any agenda! Just tried to contribute to WP but it seems I’m not welcomed here. Actually I don’t even care about being blocked, I just ask you please to check my edits and decide for yourself if they’re disruptive. --Damonshady (talk) 12:32, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

    As per my report a moment ago - this is the other user invloved. RhinosF1 (talk) 12:25, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

    @RhinosF1: Three changes were made by me (only two being me reverting someone, no 3RR here) and then things were taken to the talk page. You even put in the diffs there that were about spacing in the paragraphs, not changes in the content. That's hardly a EW, under any light. Coltsfan (talk) 12:39, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

    Due to the vandalism and BLP vio I did not bother issuing a 3RR notice before filing this report. I did, however, leave a DS alert about Climate change on the user's talk page. I don't think they have any contribs after I left the DS notice. DONTBITE is great when inexperienced users make oopsies but this case presents abundant objective evidence of bad faith, so I skipped the handholding. After posting the DS alert, this user added an inflammatory comment in this thread (see below, or if it later disappears see DIFF here). NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 13:17, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
