    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.

    User:DavidShankBone reported by User:Chichichihua (Result: )

    Chihuahua (dog) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). DavidShankBone (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)


    • 1st revert:
    • 2nd revert:
    • 3rd revert:
    • 4th revert:

    WJBscribe already decided on this report. Chichichihua, keep putting it back until you get the answer you want, and it's you that's likely to be blocked for disruption. Seraphimblade 04:56, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

    this is a new report, this user continued reverting after the last warning from wjbscribe Chichichihua 06:05, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

    • It is my belief that User:Chichichihua is only interested in disruptive behavior. First, this editor continually tried to replace the lead photograph on the Chihuahua page with one that is of far inferior quality. It is interesting that out of all the photographs this editor could have chosen from the other Chihuahuas on the page, they chose the very photograph that the Talk:Chihuahua page discuss in particular as being one of the poorer quality images. Not only is there consensus about the lead, there is consensus on the Talk page to not use the photograph User:Chichichihua wants to use. Then this editor canvassed the editor who uploaded the photograph, who is now also engaging in an edit war. This editor has been warned on their talk page, has been warned by an admin about edit warring, and continues their disruptive behavior. I would like to point out that this behavior is similar to my months-long battle with an IP troll, who is now a banned user. --David Shankbone 16:01, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

    whatever. this is plain and simple four reverts in 24 hours to put up a picture of your pet which isn't even a pure chihuahua! you were given the benefit of the doubt before but now you are just revert warring. Chichichihua 23:22, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

    I concur completely with David's assessment of the situation. It is not a simple case of him reverting to his own pet image either, for the above reasons, and that I also have undone Chichichihua's disruptive edits on the article several times. Reverting an obvious vandal is not a violation of the 3RR. VanTucky 23:46, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
    Yeah I'll go with David and Van Tuckey, both of whom have considerable better edit histories than Chichichihua in this case. David strikes me as a good faith editor with knowledge of chihuahuas, so edit away, mate, SqueakBox 23:50, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
    this dog is a chihuahua

    according to the vandalism page, Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Misplaced Pages. is putting this image up compromising the integrity of wikipedia? anyone would recognize it as a chihuahua. Chichichihua 03:34, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

    It is a compromise of Misplaced Pages's integrity when you choose an image that has been decided though consensus to be unsuitable, and repeatedly add it without a single reasonable attempt to create a new consensus about it. Repeatedly adding counterproductive, low-quality images without any discussion is disruptive to say the least. VanTucky 03:40, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

    sorry vantucky, your definition of vandalism is not what i see on the policy page. it also doesn't describe the situation. there is at least one other user which supports using the image to the right over the boston terrier mix that is there now. you know this because you've reverted his work. here's when to apply the "vandalism" exception: according to 3rr reverts to remove simple and obvious vandalism, such as graffiti or page blanking -- this exception applies only to the most simple and obvious vandalism, the kind that is immediately apparent to anyone reviewing the last edit. It is not sufficient if the vandalism is simply apparent to those contributing to the article, those familiar with the subject matter, or those removing the vandalism itself. Chichichihua 03:51, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

    • User:Chichichihua has now: 1. Edit warred; 2. been incivil; 3. removed an admins remarks on this noticeboard; 4. canvassed; 5. disregarded all attempts at civil engagement; 6. plastered an image on at least three pages; and 7. been told they are being disruptive on the admin board by bringing up multiple 3RR cases. Could an admin address this editor's disruptive behavior, please? --David Shankbone 04:01, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

    User:Flavius_Belisarius reported by User:VartanM (Result: No violation)

    Ottoman_Armenian_casualties (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Flavius_Belisarius (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log): Time reported: 05:16, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

    The first revert was a revert of User:Anatolmethanol, who is a sock of the banned User:Fadix. Reversions of banned editors do not count toward the three-revert rule. Seraphimblade 07:55, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

    User:Chubeat8/User:216.198.139.38 reported by User:Proabivouac (Result:blocks)

    • That these are the same user, already transparent, is clearly demonstrated here: Note the "KAWAKIBI" identity in addition to Chubeat; also "Jean-François Lafleure." Besides the multiple identities and revert spree, this user has been very uncivil to all; see Talk:Abd-al-Aziz ibn Abd-Allah ibn Baaz, edit summaries. Based on my limited contact with this individual, it seems most unlikely that he/she will ever be a productive contributor.Proabivouac 05:17, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
    Note: This page is for reporting 3RR violations only, for reporting suspected sockpuppets or suspected use of sockpuppets, please go to Misplaced Pages:Suspected sock puppets. --Nat Tang 05:41, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
    Nat.tang, it is a 3RR report. Anon does not hide that he/she is Chubeat8 (among others):.Proabivouac 05:47, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
    If that is the case, go and find an admin and he or she will probably block the user for distruptive editing and sockpuppetry. Nat Tang 05:52, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

    User:Snowolfd4 reported by User:Jayjg (Result:48h)

    Allegations of state terrorism in Sri Lanka (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Snowolfd4 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log): Time reported: 06:09, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

    This is unfair. A simple 1 or 2 hr block would have sufficed considering the circumstances. Jayjg's behaviour has been despicable and he's insisting on things that come across as extraordinarily ridiculous and weird. He is making up his own policies on the fly and trying to browbeat editors there. Sarvagnya 06:38, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
    He didn't make up WP:3RR. Arrow740 07:01, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
    I didnt say he was making up WP:3RR. I was only saying that rapping snowolf for some grammar mistakes and for reverting vandalism is hardly fair. Sarvagnya 07:03, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

    Taking a closer look, there really is no 5 reverts at all! There are only 3 reverts that can be seen as revert warring. The first two are actually two edits in a series of edits by multiple editors and was done only to fix the grammar. What happened was Black Falcon removed a part of the sentence because it was not grammatically correct. Snowolf fixed the grammar and brought it back. It took a couple of edits to do this and even Black Falcon didnt complain!! Jayjg presenting it as part of revert warring on snowolf's part is downright despicable. I request the admins to unblock snowolf. Sarvagnya 07:29, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

    No, it was 5 reverts. 3 were done to revert the Lead paragraph to the user's earlier edit. The other 2 was done to put the article to what the user has edited to earlier. So, in essence, eventhough he did not directly revert the same paragraph, the user reverted the article to what he had written earlier 5 times. Sarvaganya, please refrain from attacking other editors. Please read WP:NPA and do not make statements like "Jayjg's behaviour has been despicable and he's insisting on things that come across as extraordinarily ridiculous and weird. He is making up his own policies on the fly and trying to browbeat editors there". PS.Jayjg did not block user. He followed wikipedia procedures. Thanks Watchdogb 13:23, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

    User:Hu12 reported by User:Sunray (Result:Discussion moved to WP:ANI)

    Talk:Straw-bale construction (edit | ] | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Hu12 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log): Time reported: 09:16, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

    • This is an attempt by me to organize a poll. I request that those responding keep their vote separate from the discussion (i.e., vote in one section and discuss in another). After the discussion begins to get going in the "Poll" section, I simply remove the discussion to a discussion section, above. He ignores my explanation and reverts. I continue to try to explain he continues to revert, with malice (e.g., ordering me: "DO NOT REMOVE other people's cmments!" (which I didn't) and to "CEASE refactoring other peoples commentss"). In the process, the poll is completely disrupted. Sunray 09:16, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

    Revisions to remove simple and obvious vandalism do no violate the Three-revert rule and are the Exception to WP:3RR. Under Discussion page vandalism Where "An obvious exception would be moving posts to a proper place". this was not at all the case with User:Sunray edits. User:Sunray was intentionaly moving discussions away from their intended place (see below for diffs), and in doing so is considered vandalism. Even after repeated attempts in edit summaries, and in discussion to prevent the removal of these discussions, this behavior continued. I'll add also, based on the direction of consensus currently (based on policies WP:EL and WP:RS), which is opposite of User:Sunray's position) this may even qualify as possibly Sneaky vandalism, which involves reverting legitimate edits with the intent of hindering the consensus/poll process, as there seems to no other legitamate reason for the actions. --Hu12 10:29, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
    Being active in the discussion portion of the page, and being the one reverting the vandalism, it would be more appropriate for another sysop to make the block. Obviously this was prompted by the filing of Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#.22Suspect.22_edits_on_Talk:Straw-bale_construction. It is worth noting that User:Sunray has been blocked in the past for making personal attacks. Thank you--Hu12 11:05, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
    Discussion continues here – Misplaced Pages:Administrators noticeboard/Incidents#Three revert rule violation by an administrator. — Nearly Headless Nick {C} 15:30, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
    Two brief observations on what Hu12 has said:
    1. It is curious that he now thinks that I've violated WP:3RR. When he made a report at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents he said that I was "dangerously becomming close to a 3RR violation ." (i.e., not a 3RR violation). I have made no edits to the page in question since then.
    2. Point taken that a block might not be feasible since he is an admin. However, his actions do require some sort of sanction, IMO. I have no wish to escalate this further, so my report here will stand. Sunray 17:07, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

    User:Timber99 reported by User:WrestlefnLI (Result: No Action see comment)

    Professional_wrestling_aerial_techniques (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Timber99 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log): Time reported: 22:32, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

    Timber99 has no other contributions other than the blanking of the Professional wrestling aerial techniques page, and then the undoing of each revert I had made to put the page back to my last edit. User account was created exactly 1 hour after I made an edit to this page, and user blanked the page 3 minutes after my edit posted. After I undid user's revision, Timber99 undid my version to the version prior to my original edit. I had stated on the talk page that I did not want an edit war, afterwhich Timber99 accused me of attacking them. I had added valid content which was sourced, unlike much of the content on that page, including the version they keep reverting to. The section I added was well-sourced, but the section Timber99 keeps reverting to contains 1 source which appears to be from a fan page. Timber99 feels I need to prove my information using reliable sources, while they defend the current content which contains one non-reliable source. If it needs to go to a review I am confident that my edit should stand. WrestlefnLI 22:32, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

    I initially indef blocked Timber99 as a vandal based on his first couple of edits but when I went back to check I realised that this was an editing dispute with a new user who was finding the interface a struggle. I have therefore rescinded the block with apologies. Had I done my homework I would have simply said editing dispute seems to have moved to talk page. No further action required. Spartaz 09:22, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
    I left this on your Talk page as well: Hey Spartaz, as I am sure you are aware there was a problem with the new user Timber99 on the page Professional wrestling aerial techniques. In the event that this user continued to revert the edits that I made to a move with references. I saw you initially blocked him, then unblocked him feeling that it went to a Talk page... however he again not only reverted the page again (after your reverted back to my edit), he added this to my talk page:

    "According to what you wrote on my page, there is a rule about making an edit which goes back to anold version more than 3 times in 24 hours. You're currently at 3 so im giving u aheads up. please be more careful in the future not to engage in "edit wars." i explained on talk page why it is important to get a discussion going about this change ebfore it is made"

    Furthermore, he continues to refuse to sign any of his messages and it seems as though this is a user may be a sockpuppet who created this account in order to not blemish his own user account. Not accusing, although he/she seems to know a little more than the regular 'novice' user. Could you please help me with this situation, because it is getting ridiculous. Also note, there are absolutely no edits made by Timber99 other than reverting my edits on a well thought out & referenced change made by me. I did everything possible including adding a friendly Welcome tag to his talk page, and tried to discuss the issue... Please help!!! WrestlefnLI 16:45, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

    Note to other admins, I have this in hand. Both editors are quite new and need some guidence. No further action required at 3RR. Spartaz 18:57, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

    No warn given since this user was blocked for disruptive editing two times previously. This user has performed more than three reverts, in whole or in part, on a single page within a 24-hour in Allegations of state terrorism in Sri Lanka page as a clear violation of WP:3RR. --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ 00:49, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

    The 3rd evidence you have shown is not a revert. I took that off because it was there from before and no reason was given. Also there was another Totally disputed tags above that one. This is not violating 3 RR because I only reverted 2 edits that other editors thought were redundant and POV. The last revert was on a the fact that there was allready a disputed tags put on the opening paragraph of the body of the article Watchdogb 00:57, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
    Whats the point in having 2 "The neurality and accuracy of this article is disputed" in the same article ? Taking that off is not reverting.... It's called cleaning up the article. Thanks Watchdogb 01:00, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
    Rules say "An editor must not perform more than three reverts, in whole or in part, on a single page within a 24-hour period. A revert means undoing the actions of another editor, whether involving the same or different material each time". However, I have only reverted 3 times (2 of same material and 1 of a different). The 3 revert given on this evidence is not a revert... It is clean up of the article. Watchdogb 01:11, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
    A revert means undoing the actions of another editor, you undid the insertion of the tag twice and undid the insertion of the sentence twice that makes four reverts within 24 hours neither of which was reverting simple vandalism. If you were cleaning up the article then you have to state that in the edit summary or in talkpage. But not in this way.--♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ 01:17, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
    No, I only reverted the tags ONCE thus bringing the total of reverts to 3. Also note Abuse of tags. There was actually 3 Totally disputed tags applied to the article. One was taken off but 2 remained. That's why I deleted it. How can an article be placed with 2 of these tags ? As it clearly says "This articles..." Watchdogb 01:23, 30 July 2007 (UTC) Pleae see vandalism. Abusing the tags are vandalism.
    If you think that adding several {{TotallyDisputed}} to the article is tag abusing then you could replace them with {{Totally-disputed-section}}. After someone make a 3RR report, crying over here to justify your edits doesn't make any sense.--♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ 04:56, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
    Reverting is undoing another editors contributions, which is what you did twice in removing the tags. And this is not the proper way to say I'm gonna remove the tags since they are duplications;

    One quick look at that talk page will explain why that tag was added. And in any case, this is a open and shut case of violating 3RR. If snowolf can be blocked 48 hrs for correcting grammar, then I feel watchdog deserves a longer block for revert warring with content. Sarvagnya 01:29, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

    Actually, there is not violation in taking off vandalism. Please take a look at abusing the tags. I left that on the edit summery as WP:AGF and did not want to call anyone a Vandal. I asked why it was disputed so that if someone can provide reason then its better to add "section is disputed tags" or "Fact" tags. Thats why I asked for a discussion so that I can add proper tags so that the article can be fixed Watchdogb 01:42, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
    Please take a look at this Jossi's taking off this tags. Even he thinks its not addressed. Thus he took it off also. This is also clean up as mine was. Check his edit summery rm disputed tags. If there are specific issues to be addressed, please explain in talk . Thanks Watchdogb 02:20, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
    Now it's too late. Werther you explained rolling on floor doesn't make any sense since you have violated the basics of WP:3RR;

    An editor must not perform more than three reverts, in whole or in part, on a single page within a 24-hour period. A revert means undoing the actions of another editor, whether involving the same or different material each time.

    In Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/3RR#User:Snowolfd4 reported by User:Jayjg .28Result:48h.29 Snowolfd4 blocked for 48h just for fixing grammar. There even you made a comment. So hope you understand the policy even better than me. --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ 04:56, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
    User snowolfd4 did more than "fix grammar" he reverted. He was not removing vandalism. However, I was. If you see an earlier version here where there are 3 "This article is disputed" tags. This is blalent abuse of the tags. One was taken off but the user who took off one forgot to take off another. So, I came along to fix it thats it. Watchdogb 11:45, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

    There is no violation here. The 2nd and 3rd reverts are consecutive edits by the same user, which according to policy, is to be considered an one revert. So, there are only 3 reverts. Policy states: Note that consecutive reverts by one editor are often treated as one revert for the purposes of this rule Lotlil 05:24, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

    The Rocky Horror Picture Show (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Amadscientist (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log): Time reported: 02:30, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

    • Previous version reverted to: 18:03, 27 July 2007
    • First reversion: 17:21 29 July 2007 and 17:22 29 July 2007 (No edit summaries; though he did not directly revert the edit the change was identical to a revert, except for a small addition)
    • Second reversion: 18:27, 29 July 2007 (The consensus on the talk page and the consensus achieved after your edit war)
    • Third reversion: 18:37, 29 July 2007 (No edit summary)
    • Fourth reversion: 18:59, 29 July 2007 (I gave my reason previously. It has not changed. After the first edit back you should have left it and attempted to change the consensus. You are edit warring.)

    I warned him in my edit summary of my third revert that we had both reached our limit. In the words of Newyorkbrad, "this is clearly one of the silliest edit-wars ever," but Amadscientist seems unwilling to compromise with me. Atropos 02:30, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

    I would not normally comment on this sort of thing, but I believe it should be pointed out that Atropos is simply not editing in good faith. He made an edit that went against consensus. I edited it back to where it was and went to the talk page where he immediately accused me of both personal attacks and being uncivil. He clearly has returned to the page to start a second edit war and his first edit summery bears this out. I believe Atropos should be blocked from editing on the page as purposely being disruptive. I have attempted to start a discussion on the subject to see if consensus has changed and followed Wiki suggestion of creating a poll to gauge editors opinions. This was then called "disjointing (the) discussion".
    I believe it is the purpose of this member to create a problem and go against Wiki policy himself to bait me into changes to report me for 3RR violation. But I will abide by any decision reached of course.--Amadscientist 03:42, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
    I have tried to explain how consensus develops to this user; I even placed the flowchart at the policy page directly in the article. Him and another user had previously agreed that a cast section was unnecessary, I disagreed. He blew it into this out of control issue. Further, if I was baiting him to break the 3RR, I wouldn't've specifically warned him that he would break it if he reverted again. None of this is actually relevant, as he has clearly and knowingly violated the 3RR. He has a history of doing so; in addition to what Kww mentioned he broke the 3RR at straight pride. Atropos 07:40, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
    Just to point it out, this is the second time that amadscientist has violated 3RR on this article. The first time (June 13, 2007), he was rewarded by getting the article protected for a week while he threw a tantrum. Hopefully, this time you will block him for a while and get him off of that high horse that he rides so well.Kww 03:44, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
    That is simply not true. I have never been found to violate the 3RR rule. What he means is that he reported me once before over the same article. No action was taken. I believed it was a wrangling attempt then, as I do now. Also, as I remember the article was protected a second week due to "Edit warring and refusal to discuss it on the talk page". I know I made every attempt to discuss the problem on the talk page, but even after a week I was accused of "Holding the article hostage".--Amadscientist 04:06, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
    That you did it is documented here: http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Misplaced Pages:Administrators%27_noticeboard/3RR&oldid=138064070
    That you weren't punished for it is the reason that we are back here today. Kww 10:48, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
    That you don't understand the difference between accusing someone and their being found guilty, as well as an obvious vendetta is why You are here. As for my "high horse" it certainly is far lower than yours. While there certainly were enough lessons to learn from the last situation, just who learned what would be a very good question to ask. I leave this in the hands of admin. This thread is long enough.--Amadscientist 11:35, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

    User has also removed comments about their reverts on the talk page:

    I have discussed edits on the talk page, as well as encouraged this user to provide reasoning for why he is reverting the content in question, but he has declined to discuss his reverts on the article's talk page. The Jade Knight 04:21, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

    This is not exactly related, but it appears that these users are the same individual that was convicted of the arson talked about in the article, and it may be entirely inappropriate for him to be editing this section to begin with. The Jade Knight 04:39, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

    This user has also engaged in extensive name-calling, as his edit history (and that of his other usernames) will show. The Jade Knight 05:05, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

    Comment: User:Jaakobou is trying to conflate a content dispute with a policy violation. I maintain that he doesn't seem to understand the concept of the 3RR, and will add that his behaviour in this discussion has been sadly typical of his general behaviour on Misplaced Pages.
    I'm a bit puzzled that no-one has addressed the 3RR violation as of yet. CJCurrie 16:23, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
    Comment- i'm a bit puzzled by your style of personal attacks and accusations of "typical general behaviour on Misplaced Pages" , being uncivil is by no means helpful to the wiki project. Jaakobou 17:03, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
    I'm not going to continue this discussion here. I'll reiterate my request that someone address the 3RR violation. CJCurrie 17:09, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
    • comment - i've reached a certain level of consensus with another editor on this disputed material that the material in itself is relevant, only that the phrasing needs amendment to make the connection to the article more evident. Jaakobou 17:08, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
