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.

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.

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:

Editor removed citations a couple of weeks ago; two editors opposed the removal on talk. Softlemonades today started edit warring to implement their earlier changes against that consensus. Cambial — foliar❧ 18:20, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

The first edit was not a revert, I replaced self-published sources with RSes. It did not implement earlier changes. I did not perform more than three reverts.

See What is a reversion? Any edit to existing text could be said to reverse some of a previous edit. However, this is not the way the community defines reversion, because it is not consistent with either the principle of collaborative editing or with the editing policy. Wholesale reversions (complete reversal of one or more previous edits) are singled out for special treatment because a reversion cannot help an article converge on a consensus version.

Editor removed citations a couple of weeks ago; two editors opposed the removal on talk. The other editor did not object, they agreed they could be used before I brought up COPYLINK. And WP:Consensus is determined by the quality of arguments (not by a simple counted majority).

Cambial did not answer on Talk other than to say he would not explain things because my uestions were WP:REHASH. I asked why the self-published sources were needed but no answer. I asked why linking to release page to stolen self published leaks didnt violate COPYLINK but no answer.

Cambial has a history of edit warring on different pages and has been blocked from this page before Softlem (talk) 18:54, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Softlemonades claim that they did not implement earlier changes is not correct. Their earlier edit was to remove several citations. They removed these same citations again in every later edit (including the first one), as the diffs readily demonstrate. Softlemonades repeated their arguments on talk numerous times in response to other editors. Cambial — foliar❧ 19:00, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Softlemonades repeated their arguments on talk numerous times in response to other editors. What other editors?

Asking you to explain your argument is not repeating mine. Not answering is Ignoring or refusing to answer good faith questions from other editors

You just say I see no copylink problem. but do not explain why linking to stolen self published material is not WP:LINKVIO However, if you know or reasonably suspect that an external Web site is carrying a work in violation of copyright, do not link to that copy of the work without the permission of the copyright holder. An example would be linking to a site hosting the lyrics of many popular songs without permission from their copyright holders.

The page that indexes it is COPYLINK violation because it hosts the COPYVIO material. There is no need for sources that might be COPYLINK Softlem (talk) 19:09, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Your claims are inaccurate, but regardless, they have no bearing on and are not an excuse for your edit warring against the consensus view on talk. Cambial — foliar❧ 19:12, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Claiming that Syria Files and Stratfor email leak do not involve third parties is inaccurate Softlem (talk) 19:20, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

While there is no violation for now, I'm not closing this as both of your third reverts were very recent as I type this, and we should see how this goes. Yes, there's a 2-1 consensus in favor of Softlem's position, but that's from an editor's drive-by comment three weeks ago; they haven't otherwise participated in this very lively discussion. Since the article has been designated as being within a contentious topic, I think I would be within my rights to consider brief full protection on my own initiative, but I'm not going to go there yet as I think the best course of action for the two of you would be to get more editors involved and reach a stronger consensus (preferably through discussions on relevant noticeboards, not an RfC). Daniel Case (talk) 19:36, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

I would be within my rights to consider brief full protection on my own initiative Support this and making the page 1RR like Julian Assange Softlem (talk) 13:32, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

I requested temporary page protection Softlem (talk) 22:30, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Daniel Case: The four reverts by Softlemonades - the exact same set of code removed by Softlemonades in the "Previous version" diff they then remove again in the four recent edits - breach the 3RR rule, no? What am I missing? Cambial — foliar❧ 20:43, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

The first diff you link to (the 13:17 one) does not appear to be a revert of another editor's recent preceding edit. It's the edit they were reverting to. The rule is more than three reverts, not more than three of the same edit. Daniel Case (talk) 22:20, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

It's a revert of this edit, which restored the citations after Softlemonades first removed them in the edit indicated as previous version above. Cambial — foliar❧ 22:44, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Even if this were a case of four reverts, having reviewed some of the citations that were removed, there does appear to be a WP:COPYLINKS/WP:COPYVIO here, so WP:3RRNO#5 would apply. For example, the citation to Egads! Confidential 9/11 Pager Messages Disclosed is undeniably a copyvio of the original article by CBS News. I haven't reviewed all of the links, and some of it gets pretty complicated because the copyright of confidential government materials gets pretty complex in some jurisdictions. But it is plausible that other leaks, like the Syria Files or Stratfor emails are copyrighted. Sideswipe9th (talk) 22:51, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

The 3RR exception #5 is for clear copyright violations, meaning use of copyrighted material in the article. There is no copyrighted material removed in Softlemonades edit-warred change. The exception is not for external links. There has been no copyrighted material put in the article, and no suggestion - except for an inaccurate claim from the edit warring user - that there is. Cambial — foliar❧ 11:14, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Per WP:COPYVIO Copyright-infringing material should also not be linked to. We are not permitted to link to material that knowingly violates copyright. We can no-more link to the WikiLeaks copy of Egads! than we can to a research paper on SciHub, a copy of a book on LibGen, or a copy of a movie, TV show, or video game on Pirate Bay. 3RRNO#5 covers removal of violating links in all of those situations. Sideswipe9th (talk) 19:18, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

I made unrelated revert on the page. I realized it might be 3RR so I tried to self revert, but Cambial corrected first Softlem (talk) 13:12, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Softlemonades, the exception is about "clear copyright violations", similar to the other exceptions that are for really clear cases. In a situation where the copyright issue itself is under dispute, the situation isn't clear enough for the exception to apply. You have been edit warring, and you'll need to find a consensus about this issue instead. Neither you nor Cambial Yellowing should be the person to assess or implement that consensus. I'm closing this as "warned/stale" as there have been no edits for two days, but if this continues, there will be page protections or blocks, and they won't be removed or avoided by 3RRNO#5. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:26, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Comments:
The information attempting to be added is conspiracy gibberish sourced to a YouTube video and personal opinions (claiming "censorship on such discussions by the very influential Jewish lobby groups".) It is borderline antisemitic and doesn't belong in the article. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 17:29, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

thaddeussholto is spreading complete lies about info I have added. I have cited on yt among 4-5 others some are peer reviewed. the yt video is published by a renounced jewish scholar and Rabbi and I have also refrences his organisation's link to show it's not just some random vid on yt by a non scholar. all other citations are accurate and come from jewush and or kabballah and or freemason scholars and or officials, but the reporter is too lazy to read them as they are long, so they resort to yelling "antisemitism", which is ironic as my info specifically talks about such censorship and the harms to Jewish people it poses. Ramirami60 (talk) 17:41, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

They reverted it again but this time added another source that doesn't support any of this. The new edit used this source for the claim "The view by freemasons themselves that Kabballah is the root of freemasonry" when that source itself explicitly says "any historical links are strictly conjectural and unsupported." None of this belongs in the article and they continue to edit war it in regardless. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 17:37, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Comments:
Even though this is only three reverts, not four, it is on a page for a contentious topic that's seen a lot of editing recently. (Also I should note: I also made three reverts in this time, but self-reverted the last one and came here when I realized it was the third revert.) Loki (talk) 01:56, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

I feel I should point out I self-reverted the change to the lead as seen here: and started a talk page discussion regarding the change here: . Aside from that I was under the impression that reverts were measured over the course of a day, not over the course of three. I don't plan on reverting the article again, and as can be seen here: I've been looking for sources for others to reinsert the content I removed in the first place. I realize that a series of reverts over several days can be seen as "gaming the system" to enforce my preferred view, but the only edit which I have repeatedly restored my own version of over multiple days is this one here: , an edit which I assumed correctly had been reverted by mistake, as I was told here: . My apologies if I'm replying in the wrong field. XeCyranium (talk) 02:15, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

This seems like something that should be resolved with an RfC; XeCyranium reverted a recent WP:BOLD addition, and a minor edit war began over whether it should be included or not - all parties were in the wrong, but generally the editor who is editing against the status quo should be the one to initiate dispute resolution once talk page discussion hasn't lead to a clear conclusion. BilledMammal (talk) 02:21, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

~~What WP:BOLD addition are you talking about?~~ While the article text has definitely been contested recently, the stuff XeCyranium reverted has been in the article for a while, as far as I can tell. Here's the list of medical organizations as of the end of last year, for example, and you can also see that although the wording is slightly different there's still basically the same information about the Finnish Ministry starting with "Nevertheless" instead of "On the other hand".

I also realized that I'm missing a diff above and there actually were four diffs: the previous diff to the first one above is also a revert by XeCyranium, albeit to a different part of the article. Loki (talk) 04:04, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Alright, now I do realize what you're talking about. While the changes to the lead are the main thing being reverted here they're not the only thing, and some of the things reverted in the process of this war were pretty long-standing. See above. Loki (talk) 04:12, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

No violation – there must be four or more reverts within a 24 hour period for the 3-Revert Rule to apply; the links you have provided do not meet these criteria. As noted above. Since discussion on the talk page has remained commendably civil and collegial, I concur with the suggestion above that an RfC might be the best move. Daniel Case (talk) 18:54, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Comments:

The reporting user appears to simply hate IP addresses. They have nothing to do with the article, have no apparent prior interest in it, have not made any attempt to discuss its content, nor even elucidated any actual objection to my edit. The situation was caused by one particular user ("FromCzech") who squats on all Czech town and village articles, reverting any edits they do not like and making false accusations of vandalism to boot. The reporting user evidently did not like my post seeking a consensus about the issues I was concerned with; their comments about "logged-out editor" reveal the motivation behind this bad-faith effort to get me blocked. 167.98.155.153 (talk) 16:46, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Also note the hyperbolic attacks by the reporting user. "Crusade"? I edited two articles. The user "FromCzech" is on a crusade, to make all Czech town and village articles contravene style and content guidelines. They revert all edits they don't like and clearly believe that they WP:OWN the subject area. But their harmful reverting is fine by the reporting user, because it's IP addresses they have a problem with, not the undoing of edits. 167.98.155.153 (talk) 16:57, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Keeps pushing a 166 thousand characters addition. Three reverts already passed. soetermans. 19:22, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the notice, @Soetermans. My concern with your and Ratnahastin's reverts is that they were based on claims unsupported by reliable sources or Wp guidelines that 1) the subject is highly controversial, 2) the new addition was "fancruft", and that 3) the lead was not according to WP:LEAD. As for the single edit expansion, this is how in the past I improved two closely related articles on Bhaktisiddhanta (+44318 bytes) and Bhaktivinoda (+64138 bytes), both accepted at that time by the community as improvements of the articles' encyclopedic value. In this case, too, the proposed expansion was carefully written on the basis of most available scholarly resources and in strict accordance with Misplaced Pages policies. My humble request is, rather than rejecting it offhand and giving it short shrift, please deal with the proposed text in its face value and help improve it. Thanks.

Why does it take a edit warring notice for you to stop edit warring? You've been here for quite some time and have thousands of edits to your name. Right now, there is clear consensus that what you are trying to add is not okay. Like I said on your talk page, I am not going to do you work you. Again, it is over 166 thousand of characters you added. That is huge. There is no WP:DEADLINE so just work on it on your sandbox. soetermans. 19:48, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

It has already been worked on in the sandbox. The objections you raised about the lead and infobox neither complied with Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style nor warranted revisions of the encyclopedic value the expansion added to the article. Please assume good faith and do not disrupt edits that actually improve content. Thanks, Cinosaur (talk) 20:00, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Why are you still reverting? How is this not getting through to you? People disagree with your revision. Stop this immediately. soetermans. 20:07, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

There seems to be a page move war happening too. I moved it back to Dhurma Massacre (1818) as I think that was the original article name. Please revert if I am mistaken. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 22:20, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
