*Diff of 3RR warning:

I didn't want to have to take measures like this, but this guy is trying really hard to push his "pro-Chechen" point of view (which he made abundantly clear in the second Chechen war talk page) by removing reliable sources then adding different ones that say something completely different. You can see the sentence he changed, instead of getting "brutalized and killed by Chechen militants", he "may have been thrown out or fell out of a window trying to escape"..''This is the same terrorist group who took a school hostage and killed hundreds of children.'' And obviously he has no consensus to make a change like that, he didn't even bring it up in talk after a bunch of reverts. ] (]) 16:20, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

    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 has returned from ban, the previous report is still on this page, and within some hours has started reverting/edit warring again. (FWIW: I didn't do the intermediate revert- User:UB65 did so, completely unprompted from me, either on or off wiki.)

    • Previous version reverted to:

    • Diff of 3RR warning: 21:54, 21 July 2008
    • No violation The first quoted revert is not actually a revert because it introduces new content. The new image was uploaded three minutes before that edit. A revert constitutes undoing the edits of other users — making a new edit does not count. Stifle (talk) 08:22, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

    • Comment - This was an undoing on my part of a mistaken category removal. The individual Tan Kai was born ca. 1973, but the year and date of birth is unknown. Thus, the category was quite correct.
    After each of my restorations of the proper cat, I wrote to the editor who had removed it and left clear edit summaries stating that it was a properly placed category and should not be removed; however, that editor chose to engage, aggressively and without response, in reverting my correct restoration of the proper cat each time. Thus, the report is illogical 1) because the editor's edits were admittedly incorrect, and 2) because the reporting editor reverted his/her mistaken edits the same number of times, even after having been informed at least five times that his/her edits were mistakes (i.e., the removal of an accurately placed category). Badagnani (talk) 20:57, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

    Decision: The reported user was clearly edit warring although they have only reverted 3 times. I have blocked for 72 hours due to their fairly extensive history of blocks for edit warring, including two recent ones (the first of these two recent blocks was eventually reverted due to staleness of the request, but not due to an apparent lack of edit warring).

    Birthplace of Marco Polo (Result: Malformed report)

    I don't know if this is the proper place, because this is not a classic 3RR violation. I was adding edits to Birthplace of Marco Polo, but two Croatian users revert my edits. Despite I'm new in English wiki, I was already present in the Italian wiki, and I've alredy read En. wiki. so I had the chance to know about user:DIREKTOR and User:Zenanarh. This two problematic users often act together when a 3d revert is necessary, as in the present case. I am open to discussion in the talkpage. I'm sure I did errors! But the two allied users can't revert me, to force me to explain even evident things. I've asked them to re-correct my edits to point out the disputed claims, but they refused. They refuse to tell me where I am wrong! They just revert me! I ask the restoration of my version. I will give to the two user the time to correct just the disputed claim of my version. That seems me a correct agreement.

    Declined – malformed report. Please use the "Click here to create a new report" link at the top of this page, which gives a template report, and provide complete diffs. We would expect to see a much more thorough discussion at Talk:Birthplace of Marco Polo before we would review this as a case of edit warring. Your only contribution to the talk page so far is a personal attack on the other editors. When we see contentious editing on pages about Italian/Croatian issues by brand-new editors, we do keep in mind a previous sockpuppet case. Please consider giving a pointer to your Italian Misplaced Pages username on your user page. EdJohnston (talk) 23:52, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

    I have not reported 3RR violation before so am not sure i have done this right. Above, last, i am providing the last version that Bedford reverted to. I would prefer the article left at this version, which shows the cleanup tag that he disputes and which disqualifies it from DYK listing, which he had nominated it for, contrary to discussion of informal guidelines for very experienced editors of DYK articles. doncram (talk) 04:34, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

    Doncram has been harassing me for a month now, trying to torpedo my DYK noms. His adding that tag is done solely to vandalism it, so it'll be passed over for DYK consideration, as its his form of a temper tantrum as I am not catering to his whims. He has tried similar measures to torpedo other noms I've made this month, but so far he has not succeeded. This is the furthest he has gone. Some have requested that he no longer evaluates my submissions, but he has ignored them. Aside a token edit or two, the large majority of his edits to the Template Talk page for DYK have been to torpedo me. I can no longer AGF as far as Doncram is concerned; he's even driven me from the NRHP Wikiproject, as I am tired of his childishness.--Bedford 04:46, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
    Bedford misrepresents. There was one mild suggestion by Daniel Case that i not review his DYK nominations, which i discussed openly at Misplaced Pages talk:Did you know#DYK is rotten, drop the bad NRHP articles, and to date no one else has commented as Bedford suggests. Other comments there and elsewhere, in since-deleted discussions of individual DYK nominations at DYK, have been more against Bedford's churlish and abusive behavior. I have let many of Bedford's DYK noms go by, but the display of these on the front page of Misplaced Pages, with him claiming credit on his DYK medals page, offends me, when he discards reasonable feedback. It is fair to say that his articles are plagiarized -- defined as giving less than adequate credit for the author(s) of the main source, the NRHP nomination, that he often relies upon. They do not reflect well for Misplaced Pages on the mainpage. doncram (talk) 05:05, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
    There is nothing reasonable about your feedback You are doing the misrepreenting. I have not plagiarized a thing; all are sourced. You are just craving attention. I have filed a RfC against you.--Bedford 05:10, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
    Comment. Bedford is an admin and should know this stuff. I left a note for User:Bedford that he is over 3RR; I recommend that he self-revert. His vandalism defence does not work; read WP:3RR for where the removal of tags is discussed. Since I have no more time today to wait for an answer, I'm leaving this issue for the next 3RR closer to deal with. Normally there would be a block, but an RFC/U could be a more logical place to air out the issue. EdJohnston (talk) 05:43, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
    Doncram should know this as well, but yet he gets away with his harassment against me. I put the tag where it has previously gone on similar articles, which is more then it deserves. It need not be on top. I've compromised, which is far more than Doncram has.--Bedford 05:48, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
    • Declined While Bedford has violated 3RR (only reverts of simple and obvious vandalism are exempt, and saying something is vandalism doesn't make it so), I think this report is made in bad faith, mainly based on the diff where Doncram added the tag to start with.

Although the warning here was placed before a day or so before he actually violated the 3RR, I shall carry less leniency since, as before, he should know the course of action and procedure involved; he violated it less than 4 days ago on another article.

    There are intermediate version, but the reverts are rolled back to User:GreenEcho's added statement. A related conflict by the same user (at the time, an IP only) led to the locking of Druze, which remains locked after a month of his continued refusal to participate. User will not discuss or compromise and simply reverts. He is well aware of Misplaced Pages, using complex syntax, user and talk pages, (inappropriate) use of user warning templates and user-conflict administrative pages (he has personal conflict with another user, User:Hiram111).

    Note The last revert was 3 minutes off from being a violation. No diff of a 3RR Warning has been given. --KojiDude 22:24, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

    Comment. GreenEcho's first edit was 30 June but there are signs that this is an experienced editor. He showed up at WP:ANI on his second day of editing. His user page suggests he has been an IP before. Both Emilyzilch and GreenEcho seem to have a lot of technical knowledge, but GreenEcho and the IPs he used previously have been very combative on more than one article. I am notifying him of this report. EdJohnston (talk) 23:16, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
    The dispute is related to Druze which is awaiting RFC. Please, look at the edits before talking about 3RR. Emilyzilch has been removing sourced edits, reverting his/her edits is enforcing Misplaced Pages policy. GreenEcho (talk) 23:20, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

    User:GreenEcho has reverted the page again. Your sourced edits are inappropriately added to the introduction and you routinely suppress other points of view - which you will note I have not, rather reserving controversy to the body of the articles. Naahid بنت الغلان 23:46, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

    Editor is well aware of WP:3RR, made yesterday two reports himself - (same article, BTW), . Looking at his talk page history, it seems that he could very well be User:RJ CG, who has been blocked numerous times for edit warring, there's one old checkuser confirming this too. Both article choice and editing style are extremely similar.

    Note, 206.186.8.130 is also edit warring Estonian War of Independence (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views):

    206.186.8.130 is confirmed IP sock of RJ_CG (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). --Martintg (talk) 23:21, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

    Note, perhaps placing a long {{anonblock}} would be most appropriate here, given that the IP address appears to be an IP of the Toronto Transit Commission, a Canadian transportation company. Martintg (talk) 03:27, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

    Comment. This is a clear 3RR violation. The IP is edit-warring across multiple articles, so it's hardly a borderline case or a momentary lapse of judgment. I suggest, since User:RJ_CG was last blocked for one month, a two-month block on him and a block of the same length on 206.186.8.130 (talk · contribs) (anon only). I'll wait for comments on this proposed action, or let another 3RR closer resolve the matter in any way they think appropriate. EdJohnston (talk) 03:50, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
    I think this action is fair, User:RJ_CG is a notorious edit warrior previously cited for his disruptive behaviour in a recent Arbcom case. --Martintg (talk) 04:51, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
    Blocked – for a period of 2 months Both the IP and RJ CG. As part of the Digwuren case (October 2007) Arbcom found that User:RJ CG "has engaged in sustained edit-warring (, , , , , ) as well as incivility, personal attacks, and assumptions of bad faith ()."

    User refuses to cite and does not engage in dialogue on the talk page of the article.

    • Previous version reverted to:
    • Diff of 3RR warning: LotLE is fully aware of the 3RR rule and all of its components. He/she has successfully had other editors blocked under this rule, not for four reverts in a 24-hour period, but for violating the spirit of the rule.

    He/she is attempting to remove any mention of controversial Catholic priest Michael Pfleger, and a photo of Obama with Gen. David Petraeus.

    This is low-level edit warring coupled with low-level provocation. Please notice the edit summaries. He/she directs other users to the article Talk page where there is nothing to support him/her. He/she accuses one user of being a "contentious SPA," and notes that another has an "interesting focus" (user's focus appears to be gay rights). See also this diff on the article Talk page, where he/she encourages others to "start ignoring the provocations and sophistry of the SPA."

    LotLE has a long and turbulent history of combative and provocative behavior that resulted in several blocks and countless warnings that he/she has deleted from his/her User Talk page. This is gaming the system. Both Barack Obama and Talk:Barack Obama are already semi-protected, and the article is on the verge of community probation at WP:ANI, due to such edit warring and continued provocation. LotLE is a significant part of the problem. Please take action, since it is necessary here. Kossack4Truth (talk) 13:36, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

    Comment It's more than 'stale' - there is no violation, there are 48 hours and 16 minutes between the first and the fourth diff. Considering the history of this dispute, the fact that User:Kossack4Truth is topic banned from the article in question, and the fact that there is clearly no violation here casts a doubt over the good faith of this report--Cailil 14:19, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
    Correction: Kossack4Truth is NOT topic banned from the article in question. This is low-level edit warring coupled with low-level provocation. At the very least, a warning to this user from an uninvolved administrator is in order, given the history of that article and the history of the user. Notice also that after a 3RR report, other users have been blocked despite the fact that there were fewer than four reverts in a 24-hour period. The block is for edit warring, not for any technical violation of 3RR. Kossack4Truth (talk) 14:26, 25 July 2008 (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. seicer | talk | contribs 14:44, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

    • Diff of 3RR warning:

    I didn't want to have to take measures like this, but this guy is trying really hard to push his "pro-Chechen" point of view (which he made abundantly clear in the second Chechen war talk page) by removing reliable sources then adding different ones that say something completely different. You can see the sentence he changed, instead of getting "brutalized and killed by Chechen militants", he "may have been thrown out or fell out of a window trying to escape"..This is the same terrorist group who took a school hostage and killed hundreds of children. And obviously he has no consensus to make a change like that, he didn't even bring it up in talk after a bunch of reverts. LokiiT (talk) 16:20, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
