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:

This is a "re-revert" war. I have been reverting User:Ontario Teacher BFA BEd's edits and trying to discuss for more than two months and User:Ontario Teacher BFA BEd is re-revertng my reverts. User:Abecedare protected the page for several weeks, on Sep.17, in an effort to stop warring, and there is a currently open WP:DRN dispute, to which User:Ontario Teacher BFA BEd agreed, but he is now increasing his re-revert frequency. I warned him he was risking 3RR, here and here. I just want a break from this guy, but in my opinion he should be permanently blocked from all electoral system pages because of his blatently politically partisan editing evident from a glance at his short editing history. He has twice been warned about warring, one was for another article (which he immediately deleted). BalCoder (talk) 10:06, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

• Both editors blocked – for a period of 24 hours Stifle (talk) 15:31, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Thank you User talk:Stifle,

User:BalCoder has previously engaged in an edit war with User:Reallavergne on the same Proportional Representation article. See Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive854 under "Mass reversion and disrespectful language - Proportional Representation". This user has once again engaged in horrific personal insults, mass reversions, and has refused to provide a single source (while rudely dismissing the 40 sources that I have provided) to substantiate his/her reversions on the exact same article. Additionally, this user has violated the WP:3RR rule himself/herself.

This user has also engaged in Sockpuppetry by logging out and using the following two IP addresses: 131.104.138.146, and 131.104.138.174. It is my view that this user should be blocked permanently or at least warned about intentionally abusive language. Furthermore, I find the assumption that I am male to be extremely sexist. Misplaced Pages should be a space where female editors are given the same level of respect and dignity as male editors. I am now working with collaboratively and respectfully with User:Reallavergne and User:Øln to build consensus on the proportional representation article.Ontario Teacher BFA BEd (talk) 04:11, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: already warned by another editor

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: Multiple attempts to address this and related issues at ANI and the WP:PROD talkpage over several days, in which the IP has refused to participate.

Comments: This is a case involving PROD removal and replacement. Ordinarily this is not a 3RR issue, since PRODs generally cannot be replaced. However, several users, myself included, have cited significant evidence that the IP is the sock of a blocked or banned user, which by policy allows replacing the PROD. The IP (actually one editor using multiple IPs serially) refuses to address the claim in any forum. The refusal to discuss the good-faith, policy-compliant argument to justify PROD replacement therefore justifies an edit-warring/3RR block. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 21:31, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Comment: I apologize, I lost count of the number of times I removed the PROD template. Since the PROD policy is not to replace them in the first place, I did not think I would have to keep track of the number of times I would have to re-remove the template. If this warrants a 3RR block then go ahead.2602:30A:2EFE:F050:A51D:74AE:FC51:1E65 (talk) 21:39, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

While I'm no fan of this user's edit warring, it is conventional that new users are blocked only if they continue to edit war after being warned. Please note that any further removal of proposed deletion notices would qualify as edit warring across multiple articles, even if the 3RR is not exceeded on any one article. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 21:45, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

This isn't a new user; this is an experienced user editing via multiple IPs. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 21:50, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

If there's evidence for that, then this user should indeed be blocked now. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 21:52, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

There is no evidence that I have a blocked account or am evading a block. As for the multiple IPs, I have no control over how my ISP assigns me an IP. 2602:30A:2EFE:F050:A51D:74AE:FC51:1E65 (talk) 22:05, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

In any case, this user hasn't stopped edit warring. After being warned, he removed proposed deletion notices from a large number of new articles . I suggest blocking him. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 22:11, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Removing a PROD template is not vandalism nor edit warring. It is the process outlined by the WP:PROD policy to contest/object/etc. to a proposed deletion. While technically a "revert", IMO the initial removal should not be counted as a revert for 3RR or edit warring purposes. 2602:30A:2EFE:F050:A51D:74AE:FC51:1E65 (talk) 22:17, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Normally, removing a proposed deletion notice isn't edit warring. You, however, have managed to turn it into edit warring by vexatiously removing large numbers of PRODs without providing any substantive explanations of why you believe any of the articles shouldn't be deleted. Since you insist on the letter of the proposed deletion policy in contravention to its intent, you shouldn't be surprised when the letter of the edit warring policy is enforced against you. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 22:28, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Per policy an explanation is not required. Also many of the PRODs I object to are not valid deletion reasons, so no reason requires no opposing reason. 2602:30A:2EFE:F050:A51D:74AE:FC51:1E65 (talk) 22:40, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Furthermore, the "intent" of WP:PROD is for uncontroversial, uncontested deletion (whatever language they choose to use). So it was never intended that any deletion that could be contested or controversial would simply go through the PROD process. It was always intended that any contesting of a PROD would require the matter to be settled at AfD. 2602:30A:2EFE:F050:A51D:74AE:FC51:1E65 (talk) 22:43, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

• Declined. User:2602 etc. is correct in stating he/she is allowed to contest PRODs by removing the tag. Absent actual evidence (rather than assertions) that User:2602 etc. is a sock, there is no authority for restoring the tags. Everyone needs to go read WP:TEA or WP:STICK.

Comments:
While having reported me for alleged edit warring above, it is not proper to restore PROD templates contrary to established policy. I would revert the restorations myself if not for such action being called edit warring. 2602:30A:2EFE:F050:A51D:74AE:FC51:1E65 (talk) 22:38, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

• Comment having seen multiple ANI threads on this IP, viewed their behavior, seen them baiting regular contributors, I believe that Hullaballoo Wolfowitz's behavior would be protected by the exemption for countering vandalism, if there had actually been a 3RR violation. There has been no such violation. Protecting the project is not a valid reason to block. A strong and heavy WP:BOOMERANG should be applied to this IP. Scr★pIron 22:45, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

• As I said in the explanation, I have no blocked account. Therefore I am not evading a block. I am also not vandalizing as I am editing pages in accordance with policy, including WP:PROD policy. 2602:30A:2EFE:F050:A51D:74AE:FC51:1E65 (talk) 22:48, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

You're right. Editing for the primary purpose of repeatedly removing large numbers of PRODs without explanation isn't vandalism — it's trolling. I would suggest that WP:IAR protects the editors who have reversed your trolling. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 23:01, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

It is not a "large" number of PRODs that I object to. If I wanted to "troll" I could have removed the template from every page listed in "Category:Proposed deletion as of ____ ". But it is clear that I have not done that, I have only removed the template per the instructions to object to PROD of those specific articles. 2602:30A:2EFE:F050:A51D:74AE:FC51:1E65 (talk) 23:13, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Contaldo80 aggressively violates Misplaced Pages's neutral point of view policy by adding his contentious commentary and personal analysis into articles.

User:Contaldo80 repeatedly admits that he doesn't understand Cardinal Sarah's remarks, but insists on summarizing the remarks in the lead, reverting contributions from both myself and other editors.

User:Contaldo80's rewording that Cardinal Sarah "is also a critic of ... the growth of LGBT rights" is a biased misrepresentation. Instead of misrepresenting the subject to readers, the cardinal's own words should be used to describe his position, without the peanut gallery's misrepresentation. If User:Contaldo80 insists on adding a nutshell summary of the cardinal's remarks, it should be that Cardinal Sarah is a critic of the threats to family and a promoter of chastity.

Hi. Diffs #3 and #4 are not reverts at all (unless I'm mis-reading something) - these were changes/additions to which nobody has objected yet. (Of course, if anyone objects, I'd be happy to discuss at talk, but nobody has raised these on the talk page).

As for diffs #1 and #2, the material at issue (a Kurtz quote) was back in the article (I've "self-reverted"). I removed the Kurtz quote because my understanding was that this material was only in there to balance out an earlier reference (which I also removed). Another user thinks the quote still belongs there even if an earlier reference is taken out. So I've put it back in, pending discussion.

So in sum, I count a single revert, based on my understanding of another user's edit, which I have self-reverted, and is under active discussion at talk. Not an edit war by any stretch of the imagination.

In any case, I won't be editing this article for at least a day (Though I will be engaging on the talk page). Neutrality 03:51, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

• (edit conflict) Does not seem to be an edit war there, and it does not seem that Neutrality has breached 3RR. He has actively edited the article adding a substantial amount of well sourced content in a dozen or so edits. See the article's history.

Question: what is the basis for considering the first diff a revert? Is there a particular edit which it undoes? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:12, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Of course -- it would be whichever edit added the paragraphs in question. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 14:13, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

That seems quite an extreme interpretation, although if you can point me to policy/precedent that any content removal is counted as a revert then I will take a look. That said, I can see the edits are tendentious. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:21, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

• Blocked 1 month. Editor has a generally tendentious attitude towards ARBPIA articles, has been warned repeatedly and blocked 1 week for violations of same in past. Recidivism is an issue. --Jayron32 14:37, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

User reverted my changes four times in a 48-hour period (he waited until the 24 hour period was over to revert again). He used the revert function twice to revert my change and manually reverted the content twice to revert my changes (see page history). I won't touch the article anymore until an admin intervenes. TonyStarks (talk) 18:05, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Reply: User clearly lacks interpretation. I provided sources to back up my edits, while he had none even with me asking for it through edit summaries and through messages in his talk page (which I got nothing but another revert as a response) until today, which he started a WT:FOOTY discussion and was in an extreme rush to see me blocked. User clearly wants to WP:OWN the page only because he edits Algerian football-related pages. MYS77 22:08, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Funny that you mention WP:OWN when your messages on my talk page are the following: "You edited the guy once or twice a year, while I was the one who bring all the info together. Show some respect, please." and "RESPECT, R-E-S-P-E-C-T other people's work. When he leaves Spain (and only WHEN), then you can call him whatever they'll call him in other countries. Until that, he's known as RACHID and will stay that way." To me, that sounds like you're the one that wants to own the page, as you put in the work so it's your way or the highway. TonyStarks (talk) 00:12, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Strange, isn't it? I asked for sources, and you only provided it when creating a discussion at WT:FOOTY. Why you didn't bring me the sources instead of doing unsourced reverts? You were the one asking for all of this. MYS77 01:56, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

• Proposal, mainly to avoid this extremely unnecessary mess. What about this lead: Rachid Aït-Atmane (born 4 February 1993), simply known as Rachid, (with this reference) is an Algerian professional footballer who plays for Spanish side Sporting de Gijón as a central midfielder. and then the rest of the page will stay your way. Fine? MYS77 02:30, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Winkelvi started an edit war and complained about Me performing one! Quite the hypocrisy! Ariel. (talk) 19:48, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

• Nice try but not a valid report. The reporting editor has been violating WP:POINT by reinserting content irrelevant to the article and edit warring over it. This report is retaliation for removal of said content. Discussion has been attempted at the article talk page and two warnings regarding edit-warring behavior have been left at their talk page here and here. Looks like a candidate for WP:BOOMERANG to me. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 19:53, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

And yet you reverted 3 times I did not. The contribution is quite relevant and your removal is illogical, and completely unexplained. I attempted to talk with you on the talk page but you just talk about some edit war, and nothing about the actual text. Stay on point and don't make this into some personal war, your behavior is inappropriate. Ariel. (talk) 20:02, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

It seems you have a lack of understanding regarding WP:UNDUE. Please read policy on it so you can better see why the content you insist on inserting is not appropriate for the article. My comments at the article talk page are quite "on point". It's not my fault you are employing WP:IDHT. And yes, your behavior has shown an edit warring intent. Misplaced Pages is not a WP:BATTLEGROUND. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 20:08, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

You seriously believe that the POV of the Jewish religion has an undue weight on the Bible? Ariel. (talk) 20:21, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

The article you keep inserting the content into isn't about Judaism or the Bible. And that's precisely why said content is inappropriate and irrelevant to the article and simply doesn't belong there. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 20:24, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

I have not inserted an article into the content. What in the world are you talking about? I inserted two dates and referenced the first date with a link, and that link is about Judaism AND the Bible, and the second is referenced to the pyramids, which is what this section is about. You are seriously making no sense to me, I don't mean to be insulting, I really don't, but what you said really makes no sense. Ariel. (talk) 20:32, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

It appears that maybe there is a language barrier here? (if not, my apologies for assessing the situation incorrectly)

• I said you keep inserting content into the Ben Carson article, not that you are inserting an article into the content.
• The content you are adding is not pertinent to Ben Carson, the article subject. The article is about the man -- you keep trying to add content that is not about, nor directly related to, the current content or the man.
• The section in the article is not about the pyramids, it is about Ben Carsons believe regarding the construction of the pyramids.
• Because he has never said he bases his beliefs (either for or against) on what you keep inserting, said content is even more inappropriate for the article and equates undue weight. Please read that linked article for a better understanding.

I can see what I have said makes no sense to you - as you pointed out. That said, hopefully this explanation will help you make sense of why the content you have been edit warring over should not be in the Carson article. If any other editors want to take a stab at explanation, feel free to jump in. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 20:43, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

I understand what you said now, but I very much disagree. The section (not article! Section) in question is about Ben Carson's beliefs. He is a Christian, and contrary to what you said he has mentioned his beliefs many times, so yes, he does believe in the dates I have listed. Therefor they are quite relevant to that section.

You have violated the 3 reverts rule, how about instead of waiting to be blocked, you self revert your revert and self impose a ban on yourself on that page. Let other editors weigh in on the topic, and you stay out of it except on the talk page. Ariel. (talk) 20:54, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

"yes, he does believe in the dates I have listed." Do you have a reliable source that supports he has a) talked about those dates and says he believe in them, b) supports the content you keep adding back in, and/or c) proves the content is relevant to the article and the section in the article? "You have violated the 3 reverts rule" No, I didn't violate it. I reverted three times. If I were to revert more than three times, then I would be in violation of 3RR. "how about instead of waiting to be blocked" I see no valid reason why I would be blocked over a non-violation. "self revert your revert and self impose a ban on yourself on that page." No, that's not going to happen. I know it would make you happy and be convenient for you, but there's nothing to justify such a suggestion. "Let other editors weigh in on the topic, and you stay out of it except on the talk page." That's really not how things work here. Especially not in this instance. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 21:16, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Notice of this discussion

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:

I have made considerable efforts to discuss these changes and reverts as well as my concerns with Scoobydunk but I have found the discussions to be hostile, indicative of a behavior. Here is a talk section I started on Oct 28th, after some of Scoobydunk's earlier reverts without a talk page discussion . An additional section on Nov 3rd . Finally, an attempt smooth things over on Scoobydunk's talk page: . On the talk page I asked that he revert his last edit as a show of good faith and because it was a 3RR violation. This request was refused.

Comments:
Scoobydunk has a attitude towards those he disagrees with. In August he was attacking an actual historian who was contributing to the article (not OR) and the reaction . He accused me of lying on the article talk page He has exhibited this same battleground attitude towards administrators ,,

Overall his battleground mentality and edit warring and talk page WP:BLUDGEONing makes producting editing and consensus building virtually impossible. Springee (talk) 21:50, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

I'd like to point out the dishonesty in how Springee presents his accusations. He first list 4 reverts, however, the 4th revert is actually a consecutive edit with the 3rd, and therefore count as a single revert as described by WP:3RR policy which says "A series of consecutive saved revert edits by one user with no intervening edits by another user counts as one revert." I informed Springee of this on my talk page, yet he still intentionally misrepresents the information here.

Next, his first diff in the next section is not a "revert" of a particular edit. I rewrote the introductory paragraph, adding in new sources and removing less reliable sources, which is something that was requested on the talk page. We had discussed improving introduction paragraphs for multiple sections, so I wrote a stronger introduction paragraph. That's not a revert, it's an original edit. The rest of his diffs do not show a violation of 3RR, and only speak to this arbitrary 4 day timeline. Now, I'm sure some people will my actions and Springee's as being "edit warring" and I think that's fair. However, i ask that you read the boomerang response below and see the the common factor in these reversions over the last 2 weeks is, indeed, Springee and see that he's the one who's engaged in edit warring when the DRN noticeboard and talk discussions didn't go his way.Scoobydunk (talk) 22:32, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Boomerang for Springee

I think the fact that Springee has levied a variety of irrelevant personal attacks against me, speaks to the type of behavior I and others have had to endure as a result of his tendentious editing. I too could go on at length about Springee's tendentious editing and multiple instances of Wikihounding, but this is the edit warring noticeboard, so let's stick to the edit warring accusations.

I have, at no point, violated Misplaced Pages's strict 3RR rule and have operated well within Misplaced Pages's explicitly stated policies. This is not true for Springee who has been edit warring and has violated WP's strict 3RR rule.

1. Nov. 4 1:51 this was a partial revert of my November 2nd edit
2. Nov. 4 5:51
3. Nov. 4 7:26 and
4. Nov. 4 16:17

On top of Springee's violation of the 3RR rule, he's been reverting the edits of multiple users. He's reverted Mastcell, fyddlestix, and myself all in the period of the last 2 weeks, regarding the same subject matter. He's the common factor in all of the revisions. I'd also like to add that the content that Springee has been engaged in edit warring were originally posted to the article by me. He's been aggressively attempting to remove peer reviewed reliable sources and remove mention of "majority viewpoint" from the text, to push his own POV. We did go to the talk page to discuss the content and have gone through the DRN NOR noticeboard. When both of those didn't work out in Springee's favor, he said "We are clearly at the point of pointlessness.". Notice how that's about 30 minutes before Springee began his most recent edit warring campaign. Springee is the originator of this edit war, trying to remove information from the article that doesn't fit his POV. I'd also like to emphasize another example. After I added in a new paragraph discussing the majority view in scholarship, Springee insisted on expanding a quote from Matthew Lassiter , then a few days later Springee removes the entire Lassiter quote and source from the paragraph for the reason of "reducing the length". So he intentionally made it longer, then removed it entirely because it was too long. I mean, come on.. ThenScoobydunk (talk) 22:21, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

• Comment - A thread was pending at the original research noticeboard. Then these two editors brought their dispute to the dispute resolution noticeboard, where the thread was waiting for a moderator and for closure of the NORN thread. As a DRN volunteer, I have now closed the DRN thread because this is also pending here as a conduct dispute. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:56, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
• Comment The "4th revert" cited by Scoobydunk is not a revert but correcting a citation tag. Scoobydunk used the "book" template for a journal paper citation. I corrected the citation formatting. This in no way changed the content of the article any more than correcting a spelling mistake. Springee (talk) 23:50, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

In response, 3RR is very clear on allowable exceptions and Springee's revert is not listed among those exceptions. People do dispute about how sources should be represented within the article, so reference reversions are not omitted from counting as a revert. This is still considered a revert in part of another editor. Furthermore WP:3rr clearly states "If you are claiming an exemption, make sure there is a clearly visible edit summary or separate section of the talk page that explains the exemption. When in doubt, do not revert. Instead, engage in dispute resolution, and in particular ask for help at relevant noticeboards such as the Edit war/3RR noticeboard." Springee did not claim that this revert was an exception, or ask that it be treated as an exception. Furthermore, Springee did not only change the source in the reference from "book" to "journal", but he also removed the specific page that the material in the article references, and replaced it with the page numbers of the entire article. I don't contest correcting it to a journal source, but I do contest with listing all article pages, when the part used in the WP article specifically references a passage from page 132. This allows users to find it more easily. Unlike Springee, I didn't revert his edit because it would be a violation of 3RR.Scoobydunk (talk) 00:03, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

• Comment The above accusation I think illustrates my concerns. Any perceived transgression is considered in the most negative light possible. Rather than thanking me for fixing a bad citation or just adding the overlooked page number an accusation of malice is made. Another example of the hostile editing and talk page environment created by Scoobydunk is knowingly misrepresenting statements by others. I mistakenly commented about a source due to an error on my part. I found an article with the same title but by different authors. I issued a correction once this was pointed out. That correction was ignored when my original statement, the one in error, was quoted as proof of my position on a subject after I issued the retraction. Knowingly misrepresenting statements by others is a violation of WP:IUC. Details here .

Comments:

Belovaci is using WP:SYNTHESIS and original research to arrive at the conclusion that Tom Monaghan and Ray Kroc are autodidacts, that they are self-taught. None of the sources cited by Belovaci have ever said that these guys are autodidacts or self-taught. Instead Belovaci has determined that they are autodidacts by some personal calculus having to do with some reduced amount of schooling combined with success in business. However, Monaghan completed high school, and Kroc was taught classical piano in addition to attending about half his high school years. The main point is that Belovaci's sources do not use the term "autodidact" or the companion term "self-taught" for either of these guys. Binksternet (talk) 06:15, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
