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.

Diffs of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page

Comments:

User:TKSS has been reverting my edits on Dutt (film) without any explanation and have already done so twice in less than 24 hrs. No effort by the user to engage on the talk page, instead he/she left a rather amusing, "you are blocked" message on my talk page with the apparent intention to show aggression. Please see for yourself. Thanks. Shimlaites (talk) 08:35, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

Shimlaites https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:Shimlaites&oldid=773411692. Please see notice carefully he/she editor i have only said that you will be blocked if you revert my edits. "I haven't said that you are blocked". Please look and think before you write. BTW i am reverting your edits because it doesn't look good in these articles. It is an english encyclopedia there is no need of mentioning anything in hindi language. if you really want to mention it then please make an article of this film on hindi wikipedia. BTW most good quality film articles on this site doesn't mention anything in hindi or other regional language . TKSS (talk) 14:14, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

@User:TKSS And who are you to decide what looks good in an article? Name in the native script is a norm and is available on all the pages, it seems you only know one article on Misplaced Pages and are not following other film pages, they all have the native script, now stop reverting, which is close to vandalism. Shimlaites (talk) 17:02, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

"...with the apparent intention to show aggression" - TKSS did the same thing you did here, Shimlaites. Your complaint is disingenuous. Both of you should have tried actual talking instead of slapping templates on each other. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:36, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

 Administrator note - I'm going to abstain from administrating here, but there is problematic behavior going on between both of these users. Shimlaites should surely beware the WP:BOOMERANG here. There's no indication that Shimlaites attempted to discuss this. Rather, *I* opened a discussion at Talk:Dutt (film) to get these two people to start discussing. Shimlaites then reverted the article again, and subsequently requested page protection. Very questionable chain of events. Shimlaites' inability to let the status quo remain is upsetting. And while both editors should have opened a discussion, Shimlaites should have done this the first time he was reverted. Note also that the crux of this ludicrous timesuck is about whether Hindi script belongs in a film article's infobox. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:13, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

The reverting was started by User:TKSS(here), not me, this is something that should be clarified. I was the one who first mentioned about discussion on the talk page in my edits summary, which I am sure is meant to be read by other users. In his edit summaries, User:TKSS only talked about how he/she felt the article should be, if there is a problem of behavior here, I don't see how I am to be blamed but then its a case of POV, everyone has one. Shimlaites (talk) 18:32, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

What I was saying (without going into all the detail) is that per WP:BRD, when you are reverted, the onus is yours to open discussion. However, in your defense, there were three unexplained edits by TKSS here, here and here. So your frustration is understandable. Since I didn't have as full an understanding of the dispute when I wrote the above comment, I have striken out irrelevant portions. I think this AN3 case should be closed after I warn TKSS about the problematic silent reversions. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:42, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

• Page protected – 3 days by User:Lectonar. If there is an actual consensus regarding use of Hindi text, you will be more persuasive if you can link to where this matter was discussed previously. Or you could ask any long-time editor who is familiar with articles about the Indian cinema. EdJohnston (talk) 20:22, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

• No violation For one thing, there's clearly no violation of 3RR. For another thing, the IP's largely removing junk in-popular-culture content; such content is virtually always worthy of excision. And thirdly, don't invent rules prohibiting literature beyond a certain (unspecified) date. Nyttend (talk) 11:24, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

User:Dailycare reported by User:Debresser (Result: Users warned 31 hours)

I actually think that the truth is precisely the other way around. The last stable version was the one before Dailycare started edit warring. He is therefore reported for edit warring as well, his edits being:

1. March 3
2. March 4
3. March 7
4. March 9
5. March 12
6. March 13

As you can see, 1. Dailycare's first edit changed the consensus version. His first edit predates mine. QED. 2. He made no less than 5 reverts, and that despite numerous warnings: , . Please notice that in my first warning I already explained to him that he is changing a consensus version. In addition there is a discussion at Talk:Jewish_diaspora#re._Debresser (rather an awkward header, which anybody please feel free to change to something more indicative of the issue), in which I also right away explained the issue. Also please note that Dailycare's last revert was made after the start of that discussion and in spite of it.

WP:ARBPIA has nothing to do with this article or the specific edit in case. See and , consider the lack of a WP:ARBPIA warning on the talkpage of that article, and apply common sense.

In short, all there is here is a slow-burning edit war, without any violations of WP:3RR or WP:ARBPIA, instigated by Dailycare and his ignoring repeated warnings "Do not edit war even if you think you are right". Regarding sanctions, I think that reminding Dailycare of the error of his ways should be enough, and do not see reason for a block. Debresser (talk) 19:45, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
