    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.

    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)

    @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)

    Three reverts today and many more in previous days including four on one day. Persistent spammer and original researcher. Charles (talk) 09:53, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

    • As a footnote to a necessary block, I'd observe that Sofia Airport has been a trouble spot for edit warring. It was fully protected 8 times in 2018. It might be helpful if editors would open discussion at WT:AIRPORTS when they find themselves repeatedly in disagreement on the airport's own talk page. The WP:AIRPORTS project has a few guidelines but I notice lots of repeated disputes. For example, about upcoming flight schedules that have been announced but haven't yet started. So, perhaps the WikiProject could add some more guidelines. EdJohnston (talk) 19:26, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

    1) You have violated 3RR rule and involved in edit warring. 2) You just restored older revision when you saw three other editors didn't agree with you and you failed to push your desired changes. And you did it after breaking 3RR and reverting other editors' edits. 3) Your edits were problematic. Even the part you call the sourced one; was just your personal opinion + citing a random book that did not support it. You just don't like Michael Witzel and Christopher I. Beckwith's opinions and tried to discredit them by using odd wording and adding your very own POV. That's all. --Wario-Man (talk) 14:51, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
    There is no instances of the word saka denoting a race in Pali Canon. The two authors are just publishing their own opinion pieces without providing any evidences from Buddhist scriptures themselves. You are presenting them as facts on the article. It is you who are being biased. The source I added clarifies that buddha's clan were never called saka in any of the buddhist scriptures.SureshK 67 (talk) 15:47, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

    Perhaps useful to this discussion is this discussion on the same topic, on another page, that went into arbitration. https://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Shakya#Ethnicity The first edit of user:SureshK 67 I changed was because the syntax of the sentence was so faulty as to have unclear meaning. I changed the sense of the sentence back to what it was previously. I was never alerted on the Talk page that there was an issue going on with this topic and that I was involved in it.

    Comments:

    Article was put under ECP and 1RR by EdJohnston because of edit warring by DBigXray. This is a clear violation of that 1RR as disruptive revert (by adding misleading edit summaries) concerned same thing at least 2 times under 55 hours. One can clearly see that DBigXray is removing content what he falsely claims to be a copyright violation when the content in question was properly attributed to Ministry of Law and Justice of India and is freely available. He is removing more than what he claims as copyright violation which speaks of the recklessness. He has been also misrepresenting the references per discussion on talk page. 39.33.42.140 (talk) 03:28, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

    I don't recall putting this article under a WP:1RR restriction. Please link to any evidence of this. EdJohnston (talk) 04:06, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
    IP probably mistaken you with El C who put this article under 1RR restriction and the page notice is also clear about it. FWIW, you had warned DBigXray earlier for violating the 1RR back in July, over this same article when he was edit warring by falsely claiming edits as "vandalism". This time he is falsely claiming them to be copyright violation to justify edit warring.  MehrajMir (talk) 04:26, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
    • EdJohnston with the replies above it should be pretty obvious that we are dealing here with an elaborate sock/meat farm, who seem to be passing notes off-wiki and even then they are botching up what they should say and what they should not. Also I note that no one is explaining how this is a 1RR violation. --DBigXrayᗙ 05:19, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
    • This is a content dispute, but clearly there has been no violation of 1RR as there was more than 48 hours between those two reverts. Please continue to discuss and do not replace the disputed material until there is consensus on the talk page. If protection is needed, please use WP:RFPP — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:24, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
