    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.

    Comments:

    This editor has previously not edited for over three years (since 2011) but has since taken a vested interest in this exact topic. This is a content dispute; and I will admit that, but they're already at 5RR and I feel that only a block for edit warring will get them to discuss their changes rather than to continuously revert. Thanks. Tutelary (talk) 13:58, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

    • Comment When I saw the last revert this morning, I left the user a message stating that he had violated 3RR and inviting him to self-revert. That message got no response; it's been nine hours since the user's last edit. I've reinstated the tag that was deleted from the article. Personally, I'm inclined to wait until the user's next edit to act. If he engages in discussion, we have no problem. If it's a revert, then he's saying by actions that he intends to continue to edit war, and a block to prevent further disruption is warranted. —C.Fred (talk) 14:07, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

    C.Fred

    It is true that I have not edited a page since 2011. I don't usually see a need to get involved in WikiPedia. In fact, I'll confess my ignorance in that I don't exactly know how to use it or else I would have reported the user Tutelary from the beginning (something I don't even know how to do). Editing WikiPedia is somewhat complicated and there is so much "shortcode" that I find myself lost.

    However my inexperience or lack of activity or even lack of seniority is irrelevant in the quest for obtaining historical factual information, which is what WikiPedia is all about. And someone writing and erasing history is not what an Encyclopedia is for. WikiPedia defines an encyclopaedia as:

    An encyclopedia or encyclopaedia (also spelled encyclopædia, see spelling differences) is a type of reference work or compendium holding a comprehensive summary of information from either all branches of knowledge or a particular branch of knowledge. Encyclopedias are divided into articles or entries, which are usually accessed alphabetically by article name. Encyclopedia entries are longer and more detailed than those in most dictionaries. Generally speaking, unlike dictionary entries, which focus on linguistic information about words, encyclopedia articles focus on factual information to cover the thing or concept for which the article name stands. https://en.wikipedia.org/Encyclopedia

    The argue made by Tutelary is that when X site goes down its not historical enough to warrant an entry and on the face value principle he would be right, except for the fact that we're not talking about a single website or even a small provider. When a large provider essentially becomes part of the backbone of the internet and its network outage takes offline so much of the internet that CNN, ABC, CBS actually do a report on it... That is something else. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oldschooldsl (talkcontribs) 16:44, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

    This edit war started today (first against other user). It looked like to be over, but seems not. The question seems to be using the historical or the comercial designation of a trophy. User:SLBedit don't looks like on a mood to expose his arguments on the talk page, just reverting the editions to prove his POV.

    Comments:

    He has made many hidden reverts (against multiple editors) adding name to player and changing position without any discussion. The source (officiall club webpage) of the squad he makes changes to says one thing and he wants an other thing for the player names. Now he even moved page Miranda (footballer) to João Miranda (footballer) just to be able to add the player name in Athletico article. Has history of edit warring and vandalism (blocked three times in six months). He also went to talk page of one of the other editors User talk:83.84.245.25 and added warning I gave to him (including a diff of his incorrect edit). Does not seem to understand he should not edit war and cant always get his ideas through. QED237 (talk) 00:06, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

    Attempt to warn/inform on his talkpage had no affect and prevoius history told me he would not listen. QED237 (talk) 00:09, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
    And now the editor has even moved the article for Miranda again. Wow, does he not know he should not move articles unless they are not controversial and definately not move again. QED237 (talk) 00:12, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
    Hello friends. First, it became something personal to you Qed237. Incidentally, it is not true that I did not answer him, just to see his talk page. Look at my edits, I'm not a thug. I try to maintain consistency in my edits. Know much Spanish championship. In several seasons at the Royal Society and in the first game with Atletico Madrid, Antoine Griezmann has been a true winger, listed as MF. Many advanced players are listed as forwards, but really, he's a winger. Regarding Miranda, actually many sources cite him as João Miranda (http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/joao-miranda-set-manchester-united-3673176) and (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2654243/Manchester-United-target-Miranda-reveals-talks-English-Spanish-clubs.html), so it is common sense that your full name is listed, after all, Miranda is his last name and not his surname. Greetings User:Gringoladomenegatalk 2 September 2014 (UTC)
    You gave one very minor explanation at my talk, I responded, and then nothing. You should discuss and not just leave one message practically saying "I am right" and then never speak again. That is not how a discussion works. Secondly why are you adding links to other sources and not accepting the source used for the squad which is the team official webpage, that list Miranda for the brazilian player and has Griezmann as a forward (yes a winger can be a forward for example in a 4-3-3). Thirdly a page move shouild NEVER be done when a dispute then go and do a requested move to find consensus before moving pages. And even if you believe you are right you are never allowed to do all those reverts anyway. QED237 (talk) 21:21, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
    And you say common sense to use last name, that is not true for brazilian players i.e. Robinho, Ronaldinho and so on. QED237 (talk) 21:22, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

    Please can one of you guys sort out STATicVapor; he has been coming across uncivil; he had reverted my edits on 808's & Heartbreak and has called me a sock, and has caused a bit of fuss with Scorpion0422 as Scorpion wrote on STATicVapor's talk page reverting of this edit was completely wrong. Yes, the IP was a little harsh but he was completely in the right and using language does not necessarily mean he is a vandal. If you had done even the smallest amount of research (ie. Just looking at the wrestler's Misplaced Pages page) you would see that The Ultimate Warrior's birth name is indeed James Hellwig and not Warrior (or, you could have just used common sense). I suggest that in the future you exercise some restraint with your itchy revert finger and make sure you aren't re-adding factual inaccuracies. -- Scorpion0422 20:17, 2 September 2014 (UTC) and accused Scorpion0422 of being uncivil when that editor is being uncivil; when I asked them why did they revert my edits they reverted my edit again, in a nutshell they are a continue page edit warrior/genre warrior/vandal Harmony-n-Beatz (talk) 20:39, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

    User is fraudalently adding the same disruptive material while ignoring my request for IP to knock it off. I suggest that he/she be blocked so that person can leave me alone and stop with these threats. IPadPerson (talk) 19:09, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
