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.

Comments:

Editor doesn't edit much. Fewer than 200 edits ago, December 2010, editor was blocked for edit warring. No discussion here. Not sure what to do about this. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:32, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

I'm in the process of formatting an article on The Prayer Chain so it is more user-friendly and contains more information for people researching the band. I'm styling this on the U2 article which has a very easy to follow format and is rather interesting. Walter Gorlitz doesn't like this. He wants all the various information about different eras of the band to be in one bulky lot. He keeps reverting these changes. The entire history was originally formatted in the initial synopsis under his preferred format. This is sloppy. Religious Burp (talk) 03:43, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

First, The Prayer Chain are not U2.

I have tried to explain how we don't need multiple short sections, you didn't take kindly to that. Your other formatting and heavy reliance on direct quotes are a problem. As an editor of the u2 article, I can tell you that there are not many quotes, and none that are as long as those you provided. There is duplication of material in your edits and a lot of WP:OR. Instead of thinking that your prose are straight from the hand of god, assume that other editors know how to edit too and are trying to create an encyclopedia just like you. You're wholesale reverts are counter-productive. The total number is troubling. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:04, 10 April 2015 (UTC) The

The first "revert" Walter has listed isn't actually a revert. It was the initial change that wasn't to his liking. He reverted all those other changes before I reverted them back, meaning he should be blocked before I am. His reverts haven't been proof-read which is obvious from sentences that don't make sense and contained wrong spellings, one sentence alone contained 4 errors. I have noted these issues on The Prayer Chain talk page, and have only been met with bullying by his alternate username Amaury on my talk page, and flawed egotistical arguments from Walter. Walter himself has acknowledged he doesn't know anything about the band that is the subject of the article, so shouldn't be allowed to contribute to the page. Both Amaury and Walter should be blocked and refrain from further edits on The Prayer Chain page. Religious Burp (talk) 09:40, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

You may want to strike the section claiming that Walter and Amaury are socks as without evidence its a personal attack and wont help your case. Amortias (T)(C) 10:39, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Amaury had used huggle. It was not even a manual edit. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 10:48, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

So is the suggestion that Amaury & Walter are different people but both making identical sloppy edits? No one has addressed the example issue of the sentence containing 4 errors, 3 of which are basic English that any decent proof-reading editor could fix, which has been reverted back to it's incorrect state 4 times by Walter and his "alleged" alter-egos! Where in Misplaced Pages policy is that OK? And it appears all the people commenting here have more of a history with edit-warring than I do. Religious Burp (talk) 12:38, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

I will go on record and state that I am not Amaury. This is the only registered account I have ever used to edit with. Feel free to take your concern to WP:SPI. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:12, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

• Result: User:Religious Burp is warned. If this continues, a block will be issued. Your suggestion that your opponents are socks is without merit. EdJohnston (talk) 16:03, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Am I being blocked for reverting edits, which is what Walter Görlitz did more than I did? And the reason he reverted my edits? Because I used subsections, which is exactly how he has just edited the Jars of Clay page. Not to mention that he has completely butchered The Prayer Chain article and doesn't proof-read his edits. Well done on an obviously intelligent verdict. No warning for Walter Görlitz then, very even-handed. It's hilarious how absurd this is. Matthew 7:4-5.

Comments:

Editor Ghatus has been warned for not reverting, however he has refused to adhere to the three revert rule. He has also been edit warring on a variety of Mughal-Maratha war articles and has been warned in the past. His latest comment on the 1971 history page shows his lack of respect for Misplaced Pages's rules. Xtremedood (talk) 07:53, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Ghatus also deleted my recent warning on his page. Xtremedood (talk) 07:57, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Ghatus's Reply "Xtremedood" is told to discuss on the Talk Page of the relevant Page. He did not do it. A discussion is open there already to solve it out. He has a past history of doing such things in other pages. I have also called on three other editors to look into the matter. I just reverted his undiscussed and dubious sounding edits. Three other editors are @Lakun.patra:, @Myopia123:,@Chris the speller:. Thank You.Ghatus (talk) 08:02, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

• Note. I was about to warn both Xtremedood and Ghatus because they were both at three reverts when Ghatus reverted a fourth time. Therefore, I have Blocked Ghatus for 36 hours and Xtremedood is Warned that if you continue to revert, you risk being blocked without notice.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:18, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the warning Bbb23, however I have reviewed the edits and I believe that I was only at 2 reverts (please correct me if I am wrong). I made my initial changes on April 11, at around 11:15-11:30. However the first revert was done by Ghatus, on 06:45, 13 April 2015‎. I reverted for the first time on 04:30, 13 April 2015‎ ‎ and the second time on 07:09, 13 April 2015‎, which makes for a total of two reverts. Ghatus on the other hand reverted 3 times. Xtremedood (talk) 20:35, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

@Xtremedood: I counted that first edit as a revert as it undid another editor's actions, even if those actions did not immediately precede your edit. That's a strict interpretation of policy, and some administrators disagree with it (meaning they won't count it). That said, I don't count any change as a revert. I take it on a case-by-case basis. In this instance, the change you made to the article was significant and formed the basis of the war. Therefore, I count it. As an aside, adding brand new material to an article is not a revert.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:39, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification, Bbb23. I guess it is a subjective measure. I did not see my first edit as a revert and I would not categorize it as such. I see it as an introduction of new materials based on the reading of a verifiable and legitimate academic source. Xtremedood (talk) 03:29, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

• Result: User:Ctg4Rahat is warned for violation of WP:3RR. The only reason not to block is due to the high chance of sockpuppetry by people on the other side. All parties should be waiting for a clear agreement on the talk page about Bose's nationality. If you all think this is important you should be prepared for a very long discussion. For an example, see Talk:John Tyndall#Tyndall's nationality. This was an attempt to determine if the physicist Tyndall was British or Irish. EdJohnston (talk) 00:35, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

A discussion on Template talk:Microsoft Windows family already exists. Codename Lisa asked the user to "study it". See User talk:Lumia930uploader § Template:Microsoft Windows family.

Comments:

WP:3RR violation. Combative editor edit ninja evading consensus-building process in a highly visible template. He is using revert+edit summary for communication instead of taking the discussion to the talk page. Or at least visiting it. There is a discussion there already. Codename Lisa explicitly invited him to come with a message in his user page.

His last edit summary is a clear act of denial, having forgotten every communication he has received thus far. Fleet Command (talk) 15:01, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

• Not edit warring or 3RR violation. Hi. This is Codename Lisa. Thanks God I saw this. If one disregard the edit summary that reads "Undid revision ", one can see that Lumia930uploader is evidently attempting to improve based on objections that I register. He is not repeatedly restoring a certain revision. At least, I think the first questionable revert was the counter-revert against Fleet Command; I am afraid Fleet Command's own edit summary was questionable. He used to ambush me in the same way when I was new here, when I was practicing bold, revert, improve.

I think the solutions is not to block someone, but to calm down. Lumia930uploader must start replying in talk pages instead of within edit summaries and Fleet Command must stand down from Template:Microsoft Windows family. At this stage, I don't think even a page protection is necessary, per WP:ROPE. This template is not that high-profile anyway.

Best regards,

• @Codename Lisa: I feel hurt, and backstabbed! (I assume it is legal to exaggerate when I am hurt, right?) What was your definition of edit warring again? Biased reversion, either partial or full towards one's own preferred version, coupled with either no explanation or non-constructive explanation and non-collegial mentality? What am I missing?

(2) A WP:ANI discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Unsure if it may fall under this but some editors regularly break WP:CIVIL without sending me a prior talk page notice.

Great, I ask a neutral commentator to assess if I've used "multiple poor sources" on this, nobody is going to agree.

The real issue is that Future is gutted that I've now proved it's notable and he knows it won't be deleted so I'm the target. I'm off to bed, yawn yawn. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 22:19, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

If Blofeld makes a number of separate edits to separate aspects of the same article, edits that Future Perfect clearly disagrees with, then that's still not edit warring. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:25, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I only reverted him once. He reverted twice and has subsequently reverted my tag removal in places so technically he'd be over 3RR too if he's going to claim my edits were reverts. I made one revert and the others were mainly constructive article changes as I was expanding it but being impeded by him plastering tags on most sources and generally being irritating.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:56, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

• The problem seems the reverse. The article is about a dull but worthy Austrian charity that tries to promote World Peace. User:Future Perfect at Sunrise has got it into his head that it is spam, made a deletion nomination that verges on slander, and is frantically trying to prove his case by removing content, tagging extremely solid sources as unreliable and so on. This behavior seems bizarre. A topic ban might be kind. Aymatth2 (talk) 01:30, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
• Note. Frankly, I don't know what to do about this report as it defies the usual edit-warring analysis. I'm not going to take any action but will leave it to another administrator to do so if they wish. That said, my opinion is neither party has behaved well, but Future Perfect at Sunrise's conduct is worse than Dr. Blofeld's. Dr. Blofeld keeps adding sources, Future Perfect keeps tagging them (sometimes also removing material), and Dr. Blofeld comes up with more sources and removing the tags or in some instances just removing the tags (it's a bit hard to follow and I'm at the end of my day), and the back-and-forth goes on. The article is at AfD. The community is able to assess the reliability of the sources added, and Future Perfect is free to comment on the reliability at the AfD, but to remove material from an article up for deletion when the removal is not compelling (e.g., vandalism) is not an appropriate action and, even more so, when it's the nominator who's doing the removals or tagging or whatever. But I don't feel like blocking two very experienced editors, or even one of them, based on this squabbling; nor do I feel like locking the article while it's at AfD. So I'm punting and hoping it sticks.--Bbb23 (talk) 05:08, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
  • Since when is tagging bad and misused sources inappropriate? We are dealing with four distinct removals of maintenance tags. In each of these four cases, the reason for the tagging is out on the talkpage. One revert was a blatantly inappropriate edit removing the AfD tag. Two cases were of blatantly misused sources that simply didn't say what they were claimed to be saying. Have you checked them? Are you of the opinion that this Italian page is saying that Roberta Pinotti received an award? (if you don't read Italian, let me tell you: it doesn't). Are you of the opinion that this newspaper text is calling somebody an "archduke" and "prince"? It plainly doesn't. In what way is the removal of the necessary maintenance tags for these not abusive editing? Fut.Perf. ☼ 05:35, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
    • • Future Perfect at Sunrise, I'm just going to respond to your comment about the removal of the AfD tag. That was at best a comedy of errors, exacerbated by you and Dr. Blofeld. An IP edited the article to add a lot of new material and removed the AfD tag. Rather than simply restoring the tag, you reverted the whole thing. Dr. Blofeld, rather than restoring only the material also restored the tag removal. You did the same thing you did before in your first revert, and then the battle continued over the material and your tags.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:59, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
        • Oh for fuck's sake. That IP was one of the usual attacks of banned harassment vandal "Wikinger" (really not that difficult to find out if you look at their contribs, is it?) He wasn't "adding a lot of material"; he was just randomly blanket-reverting to an old version from before I had touched the article, as he always does when randomly revenge-reverting anything I do; of course his edit had to be rolled back, just like all the rest. It was entirely Blofeld's fault that in his following edit he was blindly repeating the edit of the banned vandal without looking what he was doing. Fut.Perf. ☼ 22:08, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

• • • (Actually, I am going to reinstate that tag on the aefi.it source right now, as my explanation of how Blofeld was misreading the Italian in that instance still stands uncontradicted on the talkpage . Fut.Perf. ☼ 05:38, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
      • "Actually, I am going to reinstate that tag " – if you don't read ItalianFuture Perfect , let me tell you: that's more edit-warring by you.

The basis for all this seems to be, "I am right, you are wrong, and as I'm an admin, that means I'm Very, Very Right Indeed." This is characteristic of Future Perfect's editing style. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:09, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

The source says it's her husband and who his father is, yes. And I've also supplied other sources supporting his heritage and the Archduke thing, yes. And you're wrong about the Italian source and your claim "Blofeld was misreading the Italian". The source says "Le serata, organizzata dal Consiglio regionale del Veneto, ha visto tra le presenze più illustri il ministro della Difesa, Roberta Pinotti, il vicepresidente della Regione Veneto, Marino Zorzato e il presidente del Consiglio regionale, Clodovaldo Ruffato, al quale gli Arciduchi d’Austria, Principi di Toscana, Herta Margarete e Sandor Asburgo Lorena hanno consegnato la Fiamma della Pace" in English means "The evening, organized by the Veneto Regional Council, included illustrious participants such as the Italian Minister of Defence Roberta Pinoti, the vice-president of the Veneto Region Marino Zorzato and the president of the Regional Council Clodovaldo Ruffato, to whom the Archdukes of Austria, Princes of Tuscany, Herta Margarete and Sandor Asburgo Lorena gave the Flame of Peace."♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:45, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

• Closing as no action. Two users in good standing, each of them having over 50K edits and many years of experience, should be able to sort this out, especially since both of you are willing to talk.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:28, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Essentially there are 4 points of contention at the page, all related:

1) Is Walter Hickey at Business Insider a reliable source?

2) Should we lead the NRA's finances section with its funding from the firearms industry or with its total budget?

3) Should we lead the gun industry contributions paragraph with "A considerable amount comes from the gun industry"? (LB says that it is, because we are paraphrasing Hickey) Or should we jump right into the numbers?

4) Is it WP:SYNTH to follow that with a statement about the size of the NSSF?

LB prefers 1) Yes, 2) industry funding, 3) "Considerable amount", and 4) No. She reverted the page back to a version with those decisions 4 times in a row between 00:09 and 17:59 14 April.

NB: The last one was a partial revert; she edited some of my other edits back in, but not the 4 sticking points. Faceless Enemy (talk) 02:56, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

I have had a broken elbow since March 30, when I fell down while I was out of state helping a hospitalized friend. I have since returned home and I had surgery on my elbow on April 8. My arm is in a cast, I am in pain, and my waking and sleeping patterns have been disrupted - and my ability to type has been restricted to my non-dominant hand. After weighing my options, I have decided to respond at Talk:National Rifle Association#Edit warring to the various discussions Faceless Enemy has started on different pages.

This problem goes back weeks, and I have made good-faith efforts to resolve it. There is more going on here than meets the eye. Lightbreather (talk) 15:57, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

That seems like an acknowledgement of the editwarring but not an apology or a promise to cease edit warring. I am sorry for your personal health problems but that doesn't resolve the issue. It would be best to agree to cease edit warring and find other ways to resolve the content dispute. Capitalismojo (talk) 19:02, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

The user DrKiernan keeps inducing grammatical errors in his revisions. I encountered him while helping to edit the page on Elizabeth II, where he was reverting the article without much explanation. He did that in triplicate, so this complaint against me is quite vexatious.

I am happy to discuss my reasons for revision in terms of fact or grammar; but when another user is arguing against that on a subjective basis, they do not also have an objective complaint.

Epigogue (talk) 08:31, 15 April 2015 (UTC)Epigogue

Comment Oh boy, Epigogue complains here that DrKeirnan "keeps inducing grammatical errors in his revisions". (Note "inducing".) Look at this edit from Epigogue and his summary "fixed subject-verb agreement". As for his comment that he is " happy to discuss my reasons for revision in terms of fact or grammar" he never commented on this talk page comment. I have edited Microwave so am involved, but I can still express my opinion which is that whether Epigogue is a troll or incompetent, he is a definite disruption and needs admin attention.

I’m not sure whether the best place is here or WP:ANI, or whether I should try WP:RFC/U. This user has not violated WP:3RR, but is definitely edit warring against consensus and policy. I posted to the article’s Talk page and to his own Talk page, hoping to get his side just in case he had a point, but it seems he rarely uses Talk pages at all (and even then, mainly to complain or to inappropriately delete content from article Talk pages). He clearly has no interest in discussion, reverting my requests on his Talk with the edit summaries “desperation play” and “my talk page my rules. get lost”, and proceeding to re-revert against otherwise unanimous consensus. —174.141.182.82 (talk) 09:59, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Note that Eaglestorm has been blocked for edit warring before; it's time they start to learn how to play the game properly. My one revert of this editor was done on formal grounds, for edit warring and lack of talk page discussion, which is a violation of our policies and guidelines.
