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.

Comments:
User has been reverting questionable edits several times in the 2010-2011 Greek protests article. I have left a message on the user's talk page explaining the reasoning behind boldface on the second paragraph and suggested that he use the talk page in my second reversion of his edit, but the user keeps reverting to what he believes is "correct". I understand that he may think this is correct, but I would like to see him discuss it on the talk page than simply reverting it back. This is now a violation of WP:3RR and edit warring. I have stopped reverting his edit until this is resolved. --Philly boy92 (talk) 01:01, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Comments:

A discussion about an aspect of MMA fighter articles has resulted in an edit war of the MMA Wikiproject's main page. This morning when I saw that the edit war had escalated to violations of the 3RR I warned both parties involved. Following the warning, BrendenFrye has again reverted the page. I have requested temporary full page protection of the Wikiproject page . Also filing the report here in case someone wants to step in further. --TreyGeek (talk) 17:46, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

The editor is focused on this article and biographies about persons related to the case. Nor is that editor concerned with ethical behavior or being civil as noted on his talk page and by other editors here and here. Attention is requested. --Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 18:28, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi everyone. Answered in detail on the discussion page where Wikiwatcher1 started a thread. I can't see why he didn't wait for my response before going to AnI. here is my response:

Regarding Wikiwatcher1's edits their merits as copy vary very widely from literate to frankly not at all. I have no idea why that should be but I and other editors often do him the courtesy of copy-editing his material to an acceptable standard and do we not behave like dicks pointing this out. When I do it I meticulously preserve his content. I'll copy below an example of mine discussed above, where the defects went beyond just issues of copy. First Wikiwatcher1's copy:

• However, on June 30, 2011, there were reports that the case against Strauss-Kahn was in jeopardy due to the prosecution team's having uncovered "major holes in the credibility" of his accuser. According to the New York Times, "prosecutors do not believe much of what the accuser has told them . . . has repeatedly lied about the circumstances or about herself." (a reference here) As a result, a special hearing was scheduled for July 1st, the following day, to reconsider Strauss-Kahn's bail conditions.

where 1 "there were reports" is weasel 2 "in jeopardy" is loaded and appears nowhere in the article (although it is in the URL title) 3 "major holes in the credibility" is sourced in the article to 'investigators' and not the prosecution team 4 "... has repeatedly lied about the circumstances or about herself" is not actually a quote from the article ...

and then my edit of it (in turn churned by BBb23 because it was too close a paraphrase of the sources)

• On June 30, the New York Times reported that the case against Strauss-Kahn was on the verge of collapse as investigators had uncovered major holes in the credibility of the housekeeper. The report said that prosecutors no longer believed much of what the housekeeper had told them about the circumstances or about herself and quoted a law enforcement official as saying she had lied repeatedly.(a corrected reference here) As a result, a special hearing was scheduled for July 1st, the following day, to reconsider Strauss-Kahn's bail conditions.

Note that there were significant issues, as there often are with Wikiwatcher1 (he hardly ever bothers to conform to the requirements of WP:QUOTE) and that my edit meticuluosly preserved his content.

Regarding his efforts yesterday he was trying to restore an ancient edit of his valorising DSK's performance at IMF which had long been replaced by brief content noting the new IMF manager. The other edits were undue weight remarks about the housekeeper's credibility and reverted first by AtG and then me. Certainly the content would required copy-editing for grammar but as it happened it didn't need it as it simply was undue weight.

I can't speak for AtG, who indeed is often impatient with me, but you can safely assume my remarks about grammar were an irony from someone who has had to waste a great deal of time on WW1's naive advocacy of DSK.

Indeed I don't expect to be here for much longer. I shall be curious to see how you cope with it (because of course he won't relent).

AS for WW1's principled asservations about edit warring, I find that droll. His talk page is a catalogue of warnings about edit-warring and he knows his fellow editors will not long tolerate repeats. FightingMac (talk)

Regarding Wikiwatcher1 , a glance at his talk reveals a catlaogue of warnings for edit-warring, Twinkle abuse and BLP violations. Rgearding the DSK affair article it was a fork created by him to valorise DSK and his abuse includes (but is not confined to) newby biting, | major blanking of content, | BLP violation, | restoring latter after BLPN consensus to delete, and | libel. He has lately taken to redacting all my criticisms of him (which I agree can be pretty up-front in line with WP:CRUSH recommendations)on the grounds they are personal attacks, despite observations on his Talk page from other users (i.e. not me) that some of these at any rate cannnot in any way be considered personal attacks.

My own experiences of trying to maintain neutrality in this article is documented on my talk pages here.

It's strange that Wikiwatcher1 opens up an ANI incident on this matter when he knows I intend to stop contributing to the article (I want to devote my time now to French Socialist Party presidential primary, 2011 where I am a major, but not the originating, contributor). It might be a good time for a concerned administrator to consider Wikiwatcher1's record on this article. I suggest Wikiwatcher1 is banned from editing it. As for the article it strikes me as pointless newsiness while the DSK process is ongoing and I would like to see it deleted and an article not started until the trial is completed. It was put up for deletion early in its building and I voted for its deletion then. It so happens that practically every sentence in it presently was either contributed by me or at least edited by me, although user Bbb23, who I support, has made increasing contributions in recent weeks.

Thank you. FightingMac (talk) 19:12, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I was referring to User:10Lskil. Forgot to mention that. -FASTILY 19:16, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

@ Fastily. There was no 3RR warning pertinent to this notice. What are you referring to with your "decline?" Nor was a block requested, so some clarification of your conclusions would be appreciated.--Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 19:23, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

User:Kailashgupta180 reported by User:Qwyrxian (Result: )

Page: Khiddirpur (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
User being reported: Kailashgupta180 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

This is an edit-warring report, not 3RR. User:Kailashgupta180 is the page creator of Khiddirpur, and, as such, provided much of the information on the page. However, since at least October 2010, the user has attempted to add xyr e-mail address (see for first example; looking at the page history, I count 9 more such additions), or a link to xyr userpage (first example I see is from November 2010, , most recent is yesterday ). User was warned on November 19 , November 26 , and after repeating on December 7, was blocked for 24 hours.

Note that in the same time period, user was also creating an inappropriate page about xyrself (that was speedily deleted several times), and using xyr userpage in a manner inconsistent with WP:USER. Xe was blocked again on January 10 for one week for creating inappripriate article, promotion of own user page.

From January until June, there was only 1 instance of the same inappropriate behavior, but, in June and July, continued the same behavior of edit warring to add a link to xyr userpage on Khiddirpur. Note that user has never once responded to any comments made on xyr talk page about any of these issues. At this point, I think that only a long, or possibly indefinite block for edit-warring can prevent disruption to the encyclopedia in the form of self-promotion.
