    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:Swampfire reported by User:Legotech (Result:No action)

    Time reported: 03:30, 12 July 2008 (UTC)


    • 1st revert:
    • 2nd revert:
    • 3rd revert:
    • 4th revert:
    • Please check the history, these two are going at it over a music genre.
    • Indeed. No 3RR vio, but unacceptable edit warring. Because neither has reverted since receiving the warnings you gave, I'm going to leave this one alone for now, but feel free to bug me if they start again (within a reasonable timeframe, of course), and I'll revise my decision. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 04:15, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

    Dispute seems to have been resolved. El_C 09:24, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

    User:Maldek reported by User:Ashill (Result: Declined)

    Time reported: 04:17, 13 July 2008 (UTC)


    Part of long term pattern of edit warring on this article (see article history), including personal attacks in edit summaries and repeatedly replacing reliably sourced material with unreliable sources. See Personal comments and reliable sources warning on user's talk page. User normally avoids a technical violation of the 3RR, reverting daily but usually not 4 times in a day. ASHill (talk | contribs) 04:17, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

    Warning is sufficient. There are no personal attacks (username of the editor in questions, is Spacepotato). El_C 09:19, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

    User:Wikidas reported by User:bebrahmin (Result: Declined)

    Time reported: 04:17, 13 July 2008 (UTC)



    Declined Malformed report and I couldn't find any edit-warring in this user's recent contributions anyway. CIreland (talk) 13:16, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

    Time reported: 23:19, 13 July 2008 (UTC)



    User:Philscirel reported by User:Nandesuka (Result: Protected)

    Time reported: 03:38, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


    Comments: The Fethullah Gülen article has been a perennial trouble spot, subject to severe sockpuppetting over the past few years. This is just the most recent example. Given that this user's very first logged-in edit was a request for peer review, and that this is the only article this user edits, I suspect this is the return of a previous long-term violator. I have no checkuser evidence to support that statement, but it seems like a good bet to me. Nandesuka (talk) 03:38, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

    There are several different editors involved here, so I've protected the page for 4 days. Stifle (talk) 09:38, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

    User:Arianewiki1 reported by User:Jmount (Result: Warned)

    Time reported: 03:57, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


    Arianewiki1 is now being disruptive. I've provided a comprehensive explanation of the corrections on the talk page, but Arianewiki1 has not sought to resolve the issues on the talk page, rather reverting without explantion.

    Warned A warning in an edit summary isn't likely to be seen. It's customary to leave the warning on the user's talk page. Stifle (talk) 09:42, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

    User:71.100.6.175 reported by User:Someguy1221 (Result: No action; Amended: ips blocked)

    Time reported: 04:31, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

    This user has been readding a "cultural references" section that grossly violates WP:OR and has accused his reverters of vandalism and trolling in his edit summaries. Also, upon noticing the closeness of the report and his edit, Popups shows the warning was made exactly sixty seconds before his last revert, and I doubt it took him that long to hit the undo button. Someguy1221 (talk) 04:31, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

    Declined The "previous version reverted to" is after all the reverts have taken place and does not show how the quoted revert is in fact a revert. Stifle (talk) 09:44, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

    Amended. Various ips blocked (see below). El_C 09:13, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

    User:71.100.6.175 reported by User:Badger Drink (Result: page protected; ips blocked)

    Time reported: 11:30, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


    Update User is now at 71.100.161.81 Special:Contributions/71.100.161.81. He is getting tiresome. Cheers. L0b0t (talk) 23:42, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

    Page protected --Kralizec! (talk) 03:47, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

    Various ips blocked for 24-48 hrs. El_C 09:11, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

    User:Proxy User reported by User:tedder (Result: 72 hrs)

    Time reported: 14:07, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

    Basically, User:War and User:Proxy User have been engaged in a very long-running revert/edit war about whether this organization should be called a "club" or a "gang". Both consider the others' edits to be vandalism and revert as such. I left a 3RR warning on the talk pages of both users, as well as requesting a cease fire on the talk page. War has ceased, at least since my 3RR warning; Proxy User has deleted the warning from his page, accused me of attacking him and showing bias, stated on the Banditos Talk page that he would not comply, and has edited/reverted since the warning. Note his block log shows previous blocks for disruptive behavior.

    72 hrs. Don't forget to make a note in this field, and also register the block length at the top. El_C 09:06, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

    User:66.255.99.91 reported by User:Soman (Result: 24 hours)

    Time reported: 20:12, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


    Beat me by seconds. I would have opted for 24 hours due to the 7RR per 24 hrs. El_C 09:03, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

    User:84.67.247.30 reported by User:Soman (Result: 24 hrs)

    Time reported: 20:36, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


    24 hrs; also noting the (one-sided) personal attacks on the part of this ip. El_C 09:01, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

    User:Corticopia reported by User:AlexCovarrubias (Result: No action)


    NOTE: Admins. please take a look at this case. This user is always disrupting pages, he has been blocked multiple times for 3RR, Edit Warring, sockpuppetring violations. He uses profanity and is highly uncivil. Please check his block log. Help us out to keep a peaceful working environment.

    Reverts in article Northern America

    Comment: Please note that the article was unilaterally reverted by User:Jcmenal after an apparent hiatus , and later by the reporter , without ANY comments. The reporter has also been blocked for edit warring (e.g., with Brazilian editors) and has committed sockpuppetry (e.g, submitting admin report as another user.) If I am to be sanctioned, both of these users should too. I have no comment regarding other comments herein. Please don't be hoodwinked by pernicious and disruptive POV pushers who seem to collude and insinuate a pro-Mexican bias into articles they edit. Corticopia (talk) 05:11, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

    Warning is not immediately visible, so no action. El_C 09:09, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

    User:Corticopia reported by User:AlexCovarrubias (Result: No violation)

    Reverts in article Northern America (disambiguation)

    Comment: see above. As you can see, 3 edits in 24 hours. While a user may be in breach of edit warring even while not reverting thrice in 24 hr, see above: there is obviously a concerted effort by the above three editors to push a certain POV, and explicit attempts to escalate the situation. . Corticopia (talk) 05:15, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

    As admins. can see, this is the second report in one day for user Corticopia (the other report is above this one). As you read, he is well aware of the 3RR and is just trying to play the system by limiting himself to revert "only 3 times in 24 hours". AlexCovarrubias 06:32, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
    As usual, bytes of illogic and nonsense: you revert without commenting or discussing, and hurl insults. Herein, you also seem to favour unnecessary use of the bold feature to merely highlight your confirmation bias. Is your argument so weak that you cannot render simply? Anyhow, if you and your cohorts would discuss rationally, we'd be better off. So, who is being disruptive and gaming the system? I'll comment again when someone has something meaningful to say or contribute. Corticopia (talk) 07:46, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

    No 4th revert, so 3RR was not breached. One instance of 3 edits/24 hrs is not indicative of gaming the system. We've seen far too many seemingly selective blocks that effectively lower the threshold of the 3RR — time to get back to the basics. El_C 08:59, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

        • As does the reporter. And, please point out why reverting without commentary (as the reporter and accomplices have done above, instigating subsequent actions) after months of inactivity is any less acceptable? If said editors cannot discuss and compel, then the editorial reaction seems fairly obvious. Corticopia (talk) 09:22, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
