    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.

    This is the third spate of warring after two blocks. I think a lengthy block is required this time. The issues have been highlighted on the talk page and the sensible thing to do would have been to work through them and supply the requested sourcing, and there isn't much any of can do if he simply refuses to co-operate.

    User continues to edit-war over edits to the Shakira article, and giving little to no reason or explanation for why, other than that the edits are "repulsive". User was previously blocked for edit-warring, and when I tried speaking to said user, they ignored my talk page comments and continued on editing. Two other editors also tried communicating with said-user, and ignored them as well. He also called the edits "untrue", but all that was reverted was the infobox and how the date of birth was represented. Neither edit was untrue. User also changed simple changes to how the references were appeared, with "30em", which is what is most accustomed used in articles now. User is obviously only here for self agenda is appears and will continue their edits until they've been blocked once more. And given a look at their talkpage, a severe case of disruptive editing is at hand. livelikemusic 12:33, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

    • No violation There is a slow-moving edit war there, but no violation of 3RR exists. Remember that at least *four* reverts must be done in no more than 24 hours, which is not the case here. However, if you continue, it is likely for any of you to end up blocked. → Call me Hahc21 14:09, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

    Not blocked. I'm going to give Daki122 the benefit of the doubt since the edits did occur on different days although they were 21 hours apart, and because Daki122 wasn't notified of this discussion. That particular edit seems to have gone back and forth quite a bit among other editors as well. I'm minded to fully protect the talk page for a while, although several of the reverts I see in the history are self-reverts.
    I will leave a warning on the user's talk page. ~Amatulić (talk) 21:04, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

    When there is strong evidence to prove that Bhakta Prahlada was released in 1932, he mocks it and supports much older sources which erroneously state 1931 (due to an old belief which he still follows). He has been edit warring against multiple experienced editors who support 1932. Kailash29792 (talk) 13:22, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

    Could you please see the talk page here: Talk:Bhakta_Prahlada_(1931_film), the above user has been trying to edit the article in a biased manner suitable to him, the talk page even had and administrator who concluded that the name change had no consensus and that the same name be continued, now this user reports me as edit warring though I had not indulged in any edit warring as reported by this user, I have provided all the possible sources and also provided an amicable solution of presenting the same information on the article which the above user presented and without deleting the present information which has overwhelming sources unlike this user's version, the talk page has all the information, in order to get his way on the article this user seem to be reporting me as edit warring, but in good faith I will assume, he misunderstood me and reported me as edit warring here.

    User is in violation of 3RR, refuses to resolve the conflict on talk, and keeps reverting edit which is clearly good faith with the edit summary "vandalism". The user in question is also threatening me on the talk page quote: "Next time you edit i'll contact somebody to make you respect a bit others work" Tachfin (talk) 16:59, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

    Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning:

    Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: The user has been invited to the talk page on numerous occasions , but their one and only edit to an article talk page so far has been to delete the discussion they were invited to join and insert a forged comment from another user to make them appear biased.

    My report on this user here on AN/I has received little attention. This is the first time they have broken the 3RR, but they have been reverting the article to their preferred version at least once every few days for more than a month now. This needs some serious admin attention, as they are holding the article hostage and ignoring all attempts at discussion. – Smyth\ 01:06, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

    Seconding Smyth's report. User is WP:NOTHERE and a single purpose account. Requesting strong action. Thought they were a sock but apparently were not blocked for it. EvergreenFir (talk) 02:53, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

    (Non-administrator comment) would you consider reverting to the previous version given that I have sought consensus at article's talk page? Flat Out let's discuss it 03:00, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
    I'm sorry, but the policy on the wrong version prevents me from doing so. It doesn't seem like there's consensus on the talk page yet, so I don't feel comfortable making any changes at this time. If however, a consensus is reached, I will be happy to assist. Elockid 03:15, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
