<u>Comments: This round of edit warring is over a minor issue, but he did trip 3RR in 24 hours giving a clear cut opportunity to take steps to change his warring ways. I would not care much except he refuses to ] is, or what constitutes a revert. Worse this edit warring is part of a pattern of inappropriate uncivil behavior across edit summaries, article and personal talk pages and on the notice boards. To his credit, my cursory glance at the edit summaries on geography related topics suggest an otherwise good editor. It is when he edits terrorism related content that the problems get going.
'''User being reported:''' {{userlinks|Napoleonjosephine2020}}


'''Previous version reverted to:'''
May I suggest A) a temporary ban from editing terrorism articles and B) an ] due to the OUTING behavior. This is for my own safety and peace of mind, and because he has said more inappropriate things about me to last a lifetime already and I fear potential real world repercussions at this point. </u> <br />

*'''Reply''' What a load of crock, this is just another "harassment procedure" like the previous one; {{ping|User:Resolute}} has advised me as has {{ping|User:Veriditas}} to back off, and Resolute explained to me the technical 3RR....while pointing out and cautioning LP and the other edit-warrior who is afflicting the article in question with ongoing disruptive behaviour that ''they'', between them, were in the 4RR range themselves. A topic ban on terrorism articles is what I've been recommending for Legacypac. He's also ''lying'' that I OUTed him; it says straight on his user page that he's a "real estate developer in British Columbia" and somewhere else had mentioned Vancouver...he may nor may not be in Vancouver, he could be in Kelowna or 100 Mile House for all I know; the nonsense above re ''"I fear potential real world repercussions at this point."'' is rank AGF and also imputes I will do something violent against him, which is offensive and paranoiacally so in the extreme (I'm on another continent right now, and have been for a while now, which makes that even more ridiculous a thing to say). I've been ]ed before as Veriditas cautioned me was what was going on; this is just more of the ongoing attempt to harass me for disputing his ongoing disruptiveness, which I am not alone in observing (cf DocumentError's ANI against him). He has edit-warred on the Ottawa article talkpage, refactoring/deleting comments by others as well myself; and while bitching about my criticisms of his conduct, which {{ping|User:GBFan}} pointed out were ''NOT'' personal attacks (comments which he refactored with his deletion of an entire section - his first abuse of NPA/RPA was and then, after disputing GB Fan a few times, without proper cause, though in his own mind it's justified; self-justification being what it is.
#
::He complained about his own name in a section heading, then added mine to it in the same breath (I took out both later; ), and while he rants about "personal attacks" he has no problem at all with the other edit-warrior's direct slags of me on the same section on my talkpage he links above. This is a pot-kettle-black ANI and one in a long series of procedural hassles/kerfuffles very visible in his usercontributions. Rather than be a responsible wikipedian as he wraps himself in the flag of repeatedly, he is being the opposite ''in spades'', here launching a ''second'' ANI against me while the other one is still open, as is the one against ''him'' by DocumentError.
#
#


::A prime example of his ongoing habit of abusing and conflating sources is - none of what he's added is in the cited article, no mention of ISIS, no mention of the Governor-General, and nothing like the analysis/account he gives ''at all''. I as the same government position (that the shooting was a "terrorist attack") was already in the article and because of the fake/conflated content he claims to have cited. Another good example is on the ], with the POV/OR edit comment "it was a terrorist attack by a terrorist trying to leave to join the terrorists in Syria." (even the RCMP say he was headed to Libya, his mother says he wanted to go to Saudi Arabia, not Syria); I with the very true edit comment "none of the links cited by Legacypac said "it was a terrorist attack", eg NP says "the government linked to terrorist ideology". Conflation and distortion of sources is SYNTH; the 3rd link is a blog so questionable)".


::He has complained that my pointing out such egregious and dishonest behaviour is a "personal attack" but ] is what it is, and calling a spade a spade is ''NOT'' a personal attack when it's dishonest edits and abuse of sources is involved. As for wanting a topic ban against me for all terrorism articles, I'm sure he's aware of of mine today, removing SYNTH/OR/POV as provided by a SPA and putting the balance he so very much doesn't like on the Ottawa article there, rather than the overwritten semiarticle the SPA had created, out of thin air, with a clear agenda behind it and a false logic on distorted citations. He's not the only "terror editor" to behave like he does, cf. the origin of that SPA-entry or the ongoing edit war on the Ottaw article, which he has taken part in and has abetted, and now presumes to come here to seek not just a block on me, but a topic ban to get me out of "their" way entirely.


::As for the IBAN for alleging I have OUTed him, I was viciously and slanderously OUTed by ] re the infamous Vancouver Sun article linked on ] and ''nothing'' was done to ban the editor/reporter who still "stands by his article" despite its incredible lies and distortions, and he never reported that responsible wikipedians, including some who don't like me much, restored what I had done. My actual personal name was OUTed, and ''nothing was done''. Alluding to what city he's probably from is not OUTing, when he indicates as much on his talkpage (1/2 or more of British Columbians live in Greater Vancouver, which is about 27 municipalities in total). Really he's just looking for as much ammo as he can conflate/confabulate to get me out of the way of the "terror hobby" that his usercontributions give a very clear indication of. Presumptive launching of rankly hypocritical ANIs is a habit of his, and in one of the others he whined that there were two open ANIs already, well now he's made it three. That's abuse of process, pure and simple, as well as yet more hypocrisy.] (]) 08:40, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

*'''Reply''' I'm sorry for my late reply, between time differentials with where I am (c.12 time zones away) and power outages and other circumstances, as well as needing to take a break from the stress caused by these discussions. Item by item:
**1) I sincerely apologize for the 3RR/4RR, I honestly, in all good faith, did not realize that substitutions/re-insertions of rewordings constituted reverts. Another factor in that is that today/yesterday are different where I am than they are in North America...and I generally don't pay attention to UTC timestamps. I will be much more mindful of that in future on any article where similar disputes arise. As noted by Resolute on my talkpage, it takes two to tango, and I will refrain from the dance in future...and pay attention to the clock/date when combative revisions do occur; I will come to this board or another instead in future for resolution of whatever is at play.
**2) I apologize to Legacypac and Inthefastlane and will tone done my use of adjectives and emotional-response expletives (or acronyms thereof) in any future (unlikely) discussions with them, or when similarly confronted by aggressive/insulting or NPA/AGF posts/comments on my talkpage or in other article talkpages or edit comments. I'm old enough to know better but come from an upbringing where speaking your mind is expected, in whatever terms. I expect and hope that Inthefastlane can do the same, whether to do with making disparaging/insulting comments and maintain wiki-decorum in future.
**3) the most recent block linked above was the result of a complicated series of interactions lasting several months; the "ignorant" comment was a quotation of a statement made by the person responded to there who had said that ignorance of the subject matter was a credential for neutrality about certain matters beyond that particular CfD....it's a long story, too long an explanation for here, which I have explained in detail to Wifione via email.
**4) I sincerely apologize to Legacypac for whatever I said to lead him to believe I intended to OUT him; that was never my intent and given my own experiences with having been OUTed I fully understand his fears of same.
*I have decided to if not exactly de-watchlist the Ottawa shootings article and the Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu one, then to refrain from working or commenting on them except for possible technical/maintenance edits or in reply to information/cite queries on the talkpages. Life is too short, and I'm an old man now (59) and how much time I may have left is not worth wasting on argument or ] articles and POV disputes; the amount of time incurred in the last weeks has been wearying and damaging to my health, and there are many other areas of Misplaced Pages, particularly geography and BC/Pacific Northwest history/biography and cleaning up the quality of English in many non-anglosphere articles e.g. in Asia and Latin America and variously in Europe, where my wiki-time could be better spent, and which are less likely to be stressful to my health in the way this matter has been.] (]) 06:37, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

*{{AN3|c}}: {{ping|Skookum1}}: That's an extremely mature and credible reply from you. Your explanation on email is also quite satisfactory.

AIV flat-out failing to deal with this user, who has now very clearly violated 3RR. Editor will not discuss their edits (or even use edit summaries), they are removing reliably sourced information, changing things against standard practice, and also making a total mess in the process. In short, the editor has violated 3RR, ] and also ]. Sick and tired of cleaning up after them. ] ] 17:20, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

This was likely left alone at AIV since the contributions are not obviously vandalism. I looked at a few, and they appear to be attempts to improve the articles. The user probably has no idea what Misplaced Pages policies are, and the canned warnings that were placed on their page probably haven't done much to help them figure out what the problem is. They might improve if someone tells them what exactly they're doing wrong and how they can fix the problem. ] <small><span style="color:black">(]&nbsp;·&nbsp;])</span></small> 17:47, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
*On the surface, no, not if you're not looking properly (and you should be looking properly at AIV anyway). However, this is a user who is clearly not paying any attention whatsoever, has violated 3RR, and if you look closely at the edits, they are indeed factually inaccurate and vandalism. The frequent attempts to classify the Octavia as just a large family car, and even inserting "not" before the small family car, go against sources; the latter bit is clearly a bit of vandalism as the user knows they are not getting their own way. Indeed, it's now stuck in the article, as I cannot revert again due to that putting ''me'' into four reverts; how is that helpful at all? They frequently change dates to incorrect values, and just create a complete hash of absolutely everything; deleting referenced content, half deleting references, adding in links that don't work, etc, etc. ], and they should not be editing templates when they haven't got the slightest clue how to do so. This has been going on for 24 hours, and multiple editors have reverted their mess; enough is enough. ] ] 17:58, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
*I'm going to close this: ] is already on the case (thanks!), and further reverts/unconstructive edits will most likely be met with a block. ] (]) 18:10, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

User is spamming a POV tag inappropriately into an article because they didn't get their own way. The neutrality of the article has never been disputed by them, so the tag isn't valid.

*As said before, I simply act to keep the consensus; I leave the actual discussion to the editors who know what they are talking about.

Ongoing edit war, though it hasn't passed 3RR as far as I can tell. There are lots of small edits that may constitute partial reverts, and certainly a lot of bad faith on the part of this editor. My involvement stems from a current ] thread. —/]/<sup><small>]</small></sup>/<sub><small>]</small></sub>/ 18:13, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

'''Comment:'''
:Hello all, I am just dropping by to give my two cents. With the amount of vandalism that has gone on with these similar pages are insurmountable. Its been a work in progress and ] is very passionate and knowledgeable (which ''is'' what we need!) on these subjects and I vouch for his knowledgeably. I've been monitoring these pages and every now-and-then, and it is an ''IP address'' user that has complete disregard for the sources we have provided and the ''Misplaced Pages procedure and etiquette'' and as a result an edit-war is started. As a registered user against the unfriendly masses of IP address users who seem to take an offense by the information we have put out there, Pintade should not be to blame. It has been ''constant''. If is wasn't for this user, the subject would be in complete disarray. Now, I do not know if ] has been watching as closely as I have (a little ''under'' a year now), but I can tell you this block is completely unwarranted. ] (]) 22:39, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

'''Comment:'''
: Hello, ] may be passionate but the editor has no real interest in dealing with reliable sources and really has ] issues. Pintade admits which explains the passion, the possible knowledge and the refusal to provide anything more than personal gut feelings. I have no idea if Pintade or the IP address is more knowledgeable but neither is in the clear here. See the discussion at ] as well. My first edit at Compas was of the article including the numerous reference tags that stated "Pintade, Misplaced Pages editor" as a source. Pintade was informed back in January 2013 ] not to use "unwritten facts and personal testimonies." There is similar edit warring at ] (with following ), at ] (), and before that at ]. No suggestion on how to continue but I would ask that more people perhaps instruct Pintade on ] but I fear it's just a ] issue or a ] that won't stop. -- ] (]) 09:19, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

'''Response:'''
:What say you ]? Instead of blanking sections (as the other IP address user who even removed your merge tag for Zouk, and spammed talk pages with endless jargon), you could have inserted citation tags (or a ''reliable source?'') first. See ]. I do not agree with Pintade using himself as a source, but it seems like he is managing many of this music-related articles himself. There is '''a lot''' of material on the subject where I had verified his edits myself, which is why I wasn't challenging. To sit down and help site them all matching them up like pieces of a jig saw puzzle it isn't easy. A lot of those verifications were mine. For somebody to come long and blank sections without even inserting a single maintenance tag first, is not the right thing to do, I'm sorry. Again, these pages are a work in progress. Also, if you do not belong to a certain project, please refrain from resetting the level of importance to what you think is fitting. I believe that ] should be warned for his conduct as there is not place for that here, but to block this user for basically restoring these articles would be a major disservice. To all parties involved, thank you for your time. ] (]) 15:33, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
::We do sometimes close 3RR reports with only a warning. But in those cases there is reason for optimism that the behavior won't repeat. In this case, Pintade is quite sure he is right and it seems he is just going to continue. Do you have any suggestions for getting ] to follow Misplaced Pages policy? The alternative is to just give him the article to do with as he pleases. At the 3RR board we don't usually do that. ] (]) 16:14, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

:A while back, before I was notified of general sanctions, I deleted some material. I was asked to revert myself, but no one could explain why I should. So when the material was restored, I reverted. This I took to be 1 Revert - butapparently the original deletion counted as 1R already, so I was blocked (in my absence, with no chance to explain myself). Then when I was reported here again by Legacypac, I was not guilty of breaking 1RR, so that was a waste of time. I was so disgusted, however, that I did in fact say ""Honestly, I think I'm done with the article." This is not, of course, equivalent to a "promise" or a self-imposed topic-ban. I was under no pressure whatsoever to do anything of the sort - I was simply fed up.

:Today, I removed the words "and aims to bring Muslim-inhabited regions of the world under its control, beginning with Iraq and the Levant region, which approximately covers Syria, Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Cyprus, and part of southern Turkey." It is unsourced, as I had explained a week or so earlier. Legacypac reverted me, claiming it was "heavily" sourced, in his edit summary, and that removing it was a "non-good faith edit". My edit summary had been "'Aim' is (still) unsourced" - a very clear reason - therefore, how can it have been a "non-good faith edit"?

:The talk section I then opened speaks for itself - "still no sources for this "heavily sourced" statement, after I attempted to discuss the problem, so it will have to go." Legacypac replies by
*pretending I had "promised not to edit the article"
*claiming "since zzz just deleted 3 references while claiming the information is unsourced, it is hard to take him seriously." - when I had not in fact deleted any references whatsoever.
*supplying a source, the Economist. I read it, and pointed out that it does not support the statement "aims to bring Muslim-inhabited regions of the world under its control". Not even vaguely.
*Legacypac replies by saying "Apparently the second sentence of the Economist article '... it declared a caliphate, claiming to speak for the world’s 1.6 billion Muslims.' means nothing." So, he has justified a part of the article which ''I did not delete and had no intention of deleting'' - specifically, the phrase "As caliphate it claims religious authority over all Muslims worldwide" - which is the first half of the sentence I deleted, so he is aware that I left it. I have never suggested removing it, in fact. He is either unbelievably incompetent, or completely dishonest (or both).
*In his first reply he finished by saying "Your choice Signedzzz - you want to continue to delete the same content over and over or you going to stop?" - in other words, announcing that he intended to continue reverting me, regardless of being unable to provide a source for his opinion.

:The last time he reported me here, I was expecting a ] - but, unfortunately, I said that I doubted I would edit the article again, so the admin left it. This time, I quite simply want to remove an unsourced statement of opinion from the lead section of one the the most-viewed articles in the encyclopedia, permanently linked to from the Main Page. I did not remove any references: that is simply a lie. The statement is still completely unreferenced, despite my patient and reasonable objections on the talk page. And the reference supplied on the talk page is '''irrelevant'''. ] (]) 23:50, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

::'''Comment''' zzz is correct that this round he did not delete the sources. Sorry I got confused. He just did not read them properly, or the sources in the sections of the article this summarizes, or the many sources previously supplied to him, or the article on ] and here is another about to go in to the article that says ""Caliph," or khalifa, means "successor" in Arabic, and by taking the title, al-Baghdadi has declared himself the ''chief imam'' and ''political'' and ''military leader'' of ''all Muslims."'' ] (]) 00:22, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

:::'''Reply''' Ok, so you are, in fact, staggeringly incompetent. I repeat: I left the phrase "As caliphate it claims religious authority over all Muslims worldwide". Again, you are justifying keeping this phrase, which ''no one has suggested deleting''. However, no one has yet supplied a source that states that ISIS "aims to bring Muslim-inhabited regions of the world under its control" - which is why I deleted it. ] (]) 00:34, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

::::'''Comment:''' It appears that ] is engaged in long-term edit warring about the statement in the lead about ISIS's aim.

I left it, but eventually, today, I removed it again; Legacypac again reverted with a disingenuous claim that it is "heavily sourced" and that removing it is "non-good faith". Did I revert? No, I again opened a talk page discussion. How am ''I'' edit warring? Please explain, I'm not ''denying'' I'm doing anything wrong, I just don't have any idea ''what'' I'm doing wrong.

:::::::::Look a few lines down at the paragraph where ] states why he disagrees with you and lists a few reasons. Again with the selective reading. Wasting everyones time, refuses to read sources or other editor's comments - or just can't understand plain english.
I'll also note there is no reason to put sources every half sentence and the repeatedly deleted material in the lead summarizes ] section and ] section of the article where additional sources can be found.
] (]) 06:39, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Gregkaye ''agreed with me'', as linked above. Further down he says "a leader in ISIS’ rival al-Nusra Front said,... “By declaring the caliphate, they are forcing all groups in the Islamic world to be with ISIS in everything,.."".

So, it would be ok to say that a leader in al-Nusra Front said “By declaring the caliphate, they are forcing all groups in the Islamic world to be with ISIS in everything,..". It is not ok to state as fact that ISIS "aims to bring Muslim-inhabited regions of the world under its control" based on this opinion of one of their enemies, (who in any case states something distinctly different). This is the most blatant bit of OR/synthesis I have seen in an article.

And you keep saying that sources support the statement in "other sections" of the article, and yet when challenged you cannot provide a single one. ] (]) 06:55, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Why did you change it from "most Muslim areas of the world" to "Muslim areas of the world" after my objection a week ago? Are these 2 statements both factual? Or which one is correct? Does it not matter? And where is the RS that says either one? ] (]) 07:04, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
::::::Hi chaps, I am the aforementioned Gregkaye. (appols to gregkeye for not being the same person {{P}}). For what it is worth, I view signedzzz as a capable but argumentative editor. My first encounter with him/her came when I requested a revert on his/her user talk page and, without a ping reply, found that the thread had been moved to the article talk page There had been evidence of what I considered to be third party sock-puppet intervention on zzz's talk page but, when I mentioned this so as to give other editors a heads up on the kind of activities that occurred around ISIL related topics this was interpreted as an attack and at this point I largely bowed out of the proceedings. Another old thread worth consideration is entitled as started by Legacypac. It was welcome that a less regular editor on ISIL {{Yo|Myopia123}} took an active role at the time in tackling issues raised by Signedzzz. Legacypac consulted/checked with me before starting these proceedings with discussion Signedzzz can make beneficial contributions as per notification of potentially fluff image as at ]. The cynical side of me wonders whether increased effort was put into making this type of contribution particularly at this time. It shows an editor with ability to think out of the box. However the main issues here relate to editor behaviours not abilities. Edit warring with later appeals to talk page apparent. ] ] 07:08, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
:::::Your cynicism is up to you, but I suggested removing the picture before this complaint was filed. And there has been no evidence of socking on my talk page (and nothing to do with ISIS either). ] (]) 07:40, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
::::::] making a reference here to you as a "capable ... editor" was also up to me. I have rarely if ever seen someone in proceedings give praise or acknowledgement to an accused party. What I said above was "There had been evidence of what I considered to be third party sock-puppet intervention on zzz's talk page". This relates to two unique IP contributions The editor was praising you on a large scale deletion from the Boko Haram article, a group that are listed as an ally of the Daesh group. Of course this has something to do with ISIS. Its much the same topic but in a different location which will explain my suggestion below. ] ] 20:13, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
Making one edit and then discussing when reverted is called BRD, not edit warring.

I am still waiting for a source that supports the "aims". source (via ] media) that actually quotes an ''ISIS spokesman'' announcing their "aims", saying "“We will humiliate them everywhere, God willing, and we will raise the flag of Allah in the White House”. Note that America is not a "Muslim area of the world". This is an ISIS spokesman describing their aims, but your (unsourced) opinion overrides it??? ] (]) 07:18, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

So I'm "argumentative" - who isn't? Should I back down and say "ok, you don't need a source, just say whatever you like, and carry on pretending you have a source"? How is that helping to build an encyclopedia? I genuinely don't understand, please clarify this. ] (]) 07:32, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Legacypac says "it's heavily sourced". I say "provide a source". He cannot do so. I say "so the statement needs to go". He says "Oh, but there are ''other sources elsewhere,'' and you can't understand plain English anyway". That is the entire argument so far. Please tell me what I am doing wrong here, and also, what Legacypac is doing right. ] (]) 08:06, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

This is not meant to be combative. Since being criticised before for being confrontational, I believe I have been polite and clear on the talk page, but now I'm being criticised again. The edit was the most important edit to make as I saw it. Although I had proposed it before, my concern had been ignored - it is still an unsourced claim, and "unsourced claims may be removed." Especially when, in this case, the claim actually conflicts with genuine sources. Admittedly I got quite annoyed when I was immediately accused by Legacypac of not reading the article, deleting sources, & editing in bad faith. In future I will remember to just calmly say "but I didn't delete any sources, etc, so please don't say I did". ] (]) 09:35, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

:Note: 1)Gregkaye's post above says "Another old thread worth consideration is entitled as started by Legacypac." The thread was started by me in fact, and my bullet-points were then interspersed with Legacypac's automatic objections. Legacypac would never start a talk page discussion, he simply reverts any changes to the article with a dismissive and abusive edit summary.
:2)"aims to bring Muslim-inhabited regions across the world under its control, beginning with Iraq and the Levant region, which approximately covers Syria, Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Cyprus, and part of southern Turkey" is not only unsourced, and original research, but it also casually describes Israel as a Muslim-inhabited region. If sources don't matter in this article, (and they clearly don't), I don't suppose that does either, but I thought I should mention it anyway. ] (]) 13:11, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Finally: This is the third time Legacypac has reported me to this noticeboard. The first time, I had arguably made 2 reverts. The other 2 times I definitely haven't. So why report me here, to the wrong noticeboard? Rather than ], the correct place, which I was considering just before he reported me this time? It wouldn't be to avoid wider scrutiny, would it? Because the wider community would never support an editor who wanted to keep unsourced original research? ] (]) 13:41, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

:::Is this a joke? ] article says "...Levant region, which approximately covers Syria, Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Cyprus, and part of southern Turkey" (ISIL article) = "The ] today consists of Cyprus, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, and part of southern Turkey (the former Aleppo Vilayet)" (] article). As every good jihadist knows, the ] dogs are interlopers on ] but we use OR to "casually describes Israel as a Muslim-inhabited region" = zzz's maybe never heard of the little religious/ethnic disagreement over Jerusalem but 1000000000 sources will never convince him once he decides something. This nonsense needs to be stopped. Would an admin please close this now? ] (]) 17:00, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Diffs of the user's reverts:

First edit war, pre-3RR warning:

#

Continued edit war, second breach of 3RR AFTER 3RR warning:

#
#
#
#
#

That's 8 or 9 reverts in 48 hours, or 2+ breaches of 3RR. I didn't report the user earlier because I was giving them the benefit of the doubt - they have been warned and blocked for edit warring before but I thought a warning was in order first anyway: . It had absolutely no effect.

<!-- For more complex cases, it may be necessary to provide a previous version for each revert, or the actual words that are being changed. Adjust your report as necessary -->

This is a pretty new ]. Actually another new SPA in a very very very long list of new SPAs who've shown up to edit Ukraine-Russia related topics to fit their POVs. Aside from complete failure to heed edit-war warnings, does not appear to be a new user.

    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.

    Note: I am not involved in this situation whatsoever, just found this in recent changes. Kline • talk • contribs 05:16, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

    The editor whose revisions I am trying to undo publicly attacked the subject as an "opportunistic grifter". No one who uses such inflammatory language should be editing the page of this subject. This is common sense and journalism 101. He is clearly motivated by animus against her and should not be editing her page. Why is this even in question?

    @Napoleonjosephine2020
    "This page is for reporting active edit warriors and recent violations of restrictions like the three-revert rule." Also, "When reporting a user here, own behavior will also be scrutinized. Be sure you understand WP:REVERT and the definitions below first." I am not involved, don't complain to me please. Nothing I can do here. Kline • talk • contribs 05:24, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
    You reported me because I tried to stop someone from violating Li's page! Why is the saboteur getting a free pass? He's clearly motivated by animus and admitted as much on her talk page. Napoleonjosephine2020 (talk) 05:27, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
    Did you read my comment? You and the other person will have behavior analyzed and decisions will be made accordingly. I'm not singling you out since I have no idea what's happening, you just happened to start the edit war. Kline • talk • contribs 05:28, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

    I believe both IPs are the same person. The second IP's first edit is a talk page comment stating I'm not Ravidmurthy, but I am the one who has been doing most of the editing here., and after leaving that and another comment proceeded to make the same reversion (#4 above) as the other IP, a little more than 2 hours after #3. CipherRephic (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) was also involved in the edit war, but agreed to stop after being warned and has not broken 3RR.
