    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:
    The user has made it clear in his editing comments he has no intention of discussing said edit on the talk page, despite repeated requests from the user he has been warring with (not myself). Based upon the comments he has left in his edits, he does not seem to be fluent in English. I have not warned the user as I am unsure how the warning system works.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Kingsfall (talkcontribs) 2009-12-24T20:05:07 (UTC)

    2nd revert 2009-12-24T19:43:02 (UTC)
    • Kingsfall has neither engaged in discussion nor provided sources unlike his edit summaries and argument here. 青鬼よし did not bring in any source while Historiographer already gave a source for his edit according to this edit. However, 青鬼よし rejected it and then continues edit warring. Moreover, if Kingsfall wants to blame the tendentious edit warring, the user should've reported 青鬼よし first who not only initiated the edit warring at Japan-Korea disputes but also reverted 3 times over 3 different articles from Dec.20 to today.3RR warning 1warning 2warning 3 Kingsfall also did not do anything to resolve the issue nor gave Historiographer any single warning but directly jumped to frame his opponent. Moreover, if you look at the article history, 青鬼よし reverted the most than any other editors engaged in editing the article. The general reason that such edit warring occurs is that 青鬼よし has a tendency of distorting sources and history or misreading sources with his poor language ability.

    With the same logic of Kingfall, I'm listing the all reverts by 青鬼よし regarding Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea. However, 青鬼よし's tendentious revert campaign and false edits are not limited to these reverts.

    • 4th revert:

    Each revert provides a slightly different frame of words, as i have attempted to find the most moderate tone possible - that will be acceptible to user Ari89, and to make the refences clearer to reinforce the who has done the research. I have not included the reverts of previous user Ceezmad who has also been entangled in an prior edit war with Ari89 over the same issue.

    Comments:Edit waring in conjunction with belittling other users, accusations of lies, (in the articles talk pages) refusing to recognise valid research in this area. Ari89 claims that the paper is unrefrenced: i have offered references from The Encyclopeida Britanica, The Catholic Encyclopedia, two Professors in the field and journals; previous editors have also offered refrences which have been deleted by user Ari89. Forgive the clumsyness of my protocall, i have only joined wikipedia within the month; I am still catching up.

    • Diffs of edit warring / 3RR warning:
    Comments

    User:Vividuppers is repeatedly reverting to an old version of this article to restore material that was previously removed by several different editors on WP:BLP and WP:NPOV grounds. He has been requested to discuss his changes but has dismissed the previous discussions of this material as "bullshit" and has continued edit-warring to reintroduce it. -- ChrisO (talk) 12:48, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

    The first diff doesn't count because I immediately reverted it as it was a mistake. A look at the talk page shows I am discussing the issue, whereas ChrisO isn't, and is simply attempting to get me blocked. Vividuppers (talk) 12:57, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

    The presence of an ongoing discussion involving BLP issues is what makes this case particularly worrying. Vividuppers is warring against the efforts of multiple editors to keep the problematic material out of the article while issues are resolved. Chris Owen's pertinent comments about the material were given in a discussion on 20-21st December, which Vividuppers studiously avoids addressing. --TS 13:02, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

    This guy has a history with BLP problems. Remember the Robert Fisk problem? Of course you do, as that was Vividuppers over at fisking in May. Viriditas (talk) 13:32, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
    I would be okay with that. If Vividuppers resolves to wait for consensus at the talkpage (and, ideally, engage a little more productively), unblocking would be a good move. - 2/0 (cont.) 10:46, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

    1) The sentence "is a Kuwaiti entrepreneur, Islamic author and speaker, and a leader of the Kuwaiti Muslim Brotherhood." has been changed to ""is a Kuwaiti entrepreneur, Islamic author and speaker" multiple times in the last 12 hours.

    This section has been deleted multiple times in the last 12 hours:

    "Al-Suwaidan has been linked to activities associated with Hamas and has called for Muslims to "liberate the Holy Land" saying that "Muslims would sacrifice their sons for the holy mosque of Al Aqsa. In May 2007, Al-Suwaidan was listed by federal prosecutors, along with a group of U.S Muslim Brotherhood members, as an unindicted co-conspirator in the terrorism financing case against the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, convicted along with its leaders of financing Hamas. Al-Suwaidan has not been charged in any associated prosecutions."

    Comments:

    This article has been continually reverted by the same user acting under his user ID and unsigned with the same ID address. Basically, the user reverts almost all material that he feels is "negative" using constantly shifting rationale. Where discussion is provided, it usually concerns one aspect but the entire page is being reverted to the same version . The reversions center on three issues:

    1) The identification of the subject as a leader of the Kuwaiti Muslim Brotherhood. The identification has been referenced to an article from a Canadian newspaper which "which called the subject "a U.S.-trained management consultant and a leader of Kuwait's moderate Muslim Brotherhood party." The user requested a reference yet despite this reference, all mention of the subject as a leader of the Kuwaiti Muslim Brotherhood have been reverted multiple times.

    2) The subject's statement calling for Muslims to "liberate the Holy Land" saying that "Muslims would sacrifice their sons for the holy mosque of Al Aqsa." This was referenced to a Chicago Sun Times article. It has been continually reverted because the user has stated that such statements "give a false impression." No evidence has been presented to document this such as statements about the Mideast conflict that are in contradiction.

    3) The inclusion of the subjects designation as an unindicted co-conspirator in the terrorism financing case against the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development. This fact has been reverted perhaps 50 times in the history of the article on the basis that the subject was not charged although, by definition, an unindicted co-conspirator is one who is alleged to have participated but is not charged.

    First, the user demanded references and references had either been provided or were further enhanced.

    Next, the user shifted his opposition stating "In the coat rack article WP states that it does not matter if the references are true, what matters is that the article doesn't become a coat rack for everything a subject has ever said or done. I will continue revisions based on this." The user has stated he feels that even though all of the facts are true, it is misleading and an example of a "coat rack" article saying "until you pose an argument against the abovementioned WP article I will continue to revert WITHOUT discussion." An argument was made against the article yet the user is still reverting without discussion.

    In the latest iteration of the reverting, the user has stated that he is enforcing "the policy on biographies of living persons, where negative unsourced content is being introduced" event though there is no such unsourced content.

    I would also note that the user has engaged in personal attacks call me at different times a " skewed pundit", an "anti-Islamist activist with slanted views", and "anti-Islamic."

    I've protected the page for two weeks, the alternative, without being sure about the BLP issues, seemed to be to block everyone and I'm loathe to do that. This should provide time for sorting out any BLP issues. I note what appears to be sockpuppetry - Sgmiller, you might want to file an SPI request. Dougweller (talk) 10:50, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
    Thank you. I will try to resolve this in discussion and if not, put up a notice on the BLP board. I assume SPI is Sock Puppet Investigation but I am not sure how to do this. Can you help me with this?Sgmiller (talk) 10:54, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
