    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.

    3RR Warning:

    Comments:
    The user started out by editing out info from the page claiming it didnt have reliable info. Even after proiding with the link,discussing about it and repeatedly reasoning the user is bent on editing out the page as he thinks its contrary to his interests. The user was offered neutral adjudication and the page put up for peer review. But still the user continues with his editing under the false claims of 'hoax' and 'unverifiable facts' which clearly amounts to war-editing. The user has even served up a warning for putting up 'wrong facts' though the info has been absolutely verifiable and from dependable sources, hence harassing and hounding the editor. Certain ideas put up by the user on the talk page shows his 'racial'and narrow bent of mind devoid of scientific logic, which doesnt augur well for wiki.

    Tej smiles (talk) 13:04, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

    is this some sort of a joke Tej smiles has only been editing the page namadhari naik and related pages and has been invovled in pushing naga/scythian origin pOv in articles when clearly the community has different origins.his citations are pretty much unverifiable blogs to be precise.secondly his edits pushing this scythian pov or hoax on article ahichatraand ] has been reverted by other known contributors too check the edits history and he has reverted them too.now this does not qualify as edit warring.i understand the three revert policy so i wouldn't revert anymore and charging me of racial bias well the man is himself not ready to accept the racial origins of the namadhari naik community which i think he belongs to and his hence pushing the pov of being scythian.he also clearly admits in my talkk page that his addition on pages indo-scythian were wrong.15:14, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

    1rst. There are no blogs as citations at all on the page.They are all authentic books, mostly govt. publications (how can one miss it?!!!) 2nd. The Naga-Scythian theory has been mentioned as just one of the three theories in 'Origin' section and NOT as an accepted theory, unlike the Users page (and with wrong citations too!) 3rd. I did agree on my editing on the Nagavanshi page being kneejerk ,not the Indo-scythian page (see the 'respected' users talk page) 4rth. Just have a sample of the deeply prejudiced mindset of the 'esteemed' user when he claims the Havyaks looking down upon Halepaiks and blatanly goes on claiming proto australoid feature for all of them. He also claims 'Aryan', 'Scythian','Naga' features belonging to same race as Caucasian!! well did somebody talk about anthropology? it has taken a toss in this case. and he talks authoritatively on the racial origin of others!!!funny 5th. The User does display highly misconcieved and misappropriate notion of racial purity and superiority. The truth being that there is hardly one particular 'race' in India. Doesnt augur well for Wiki standards. see my talk page for a sample. 6th. maybe the user was lacking on some info/knowledge on the subject. it was duely provided and stage set for clearing all doubts through a meaningful discussion (see the arguments on talk pages of both users). but alas, that was not to be. the User chose to resort to edit-war and also place warning on the editor in blatant misuse of wikipedias actions to further his stereotype agenda. 7th. i have restricted myself to editing the above page only as i am extremely interested in it. I have had authentic answers for all the claims of respected user, but havent posted it to avoid offending others. I should mention here that such far-fetching and false claims takes one nowhere. it is necessary to have a balanced and tolerant view in history. nothing is permanent and fixed. i wish him good luck.

    Cal Jam II "AGAIN" (Result: Semi)

    • Comment:

    I/we/you, have been through this all before. Here are all the links I could come up with in a short time. The subject article is California Jam II. The same editor is (no using an IP) User talk:173.76.45.12. At the time of the previous incident the name used was User talk:Peterm4589. And still my question is 1). Who are these people ? 2). What's the relevancy of them being there and how they got there ? This same editor was warned not to repeat these edits a few month's ago by this same method and has since returned and continued. please contact if you need further. I already have notified the editor of this report (if he/she continued) and since he/she has I will make an official notification now. Thank you.

    And here is my contact with this editor today, After I made my revert User talk:Mlpearc#Cal Jam II "AGAIN" and from their talk User talk:173.76.45.12#Mlpearc Talkback And here is my contact with this editor today, After I made my revert User talk:Mlpearc#Cal Jam II "AGAIN" and from their talk User talk:173.76.45.12#Mlpearc Talkback

    I seriously have no idea why he keeps reverting to that particular version of the article, but I guessing it has something to do with the weasel statements on the lead section, as well as "Legacy" section that was arguably filled with original research. Either way, he provides no rationale why he prefers that version and has gone as far as to revert another user's legitimate contribution to the article as well.

      • Thanks! While I'll admit I did not try to attempt to resolve the issue on the article's talk page and I apologize for that, but I left a message on the anonymous user's talk page to try settling things and he obviously choose to ignore me and revert back to his prefer version of the article. I'll create a topic on the talk page and sent a message to the other user, but I seriously doubt I will get a respond from the user judging by past experiences. It seems the user has a history of uncooperative behavior with other editors as well. Jonny2x4 (talk) 06:13, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

    Comments:
    While I realize that technically, the IP editor waited to revert the 4th time after I posted the warning to his talk page, he still has violated 3RR in spirit, if not in the time frame. This editor has persisted in blanket reverting the content to this page even after I tried to discuss this with him on the article talk page. The editor claimed that charitable organizations that Cher has been directly involved in aren't valid (despite the fact she helped start one of them) and insists on cutting out a preponderance of labels where she has recorded and keeps cutting the genres of music she has done (including the disco era music which helped revitalize her career and basically jumpstarted it). He used the rationale of "I guided by what is relevant to Cher" while cutting mention of labels, genres, associated acts, etc. I tried to discuss it and he would say he agreed with different points I made but would still revert wholesale and completely disgregarded anything discussed. This has happened 9 or 10 times in the last week and his reverting has escalated the last 24 hours or so. Wildhartlivie (talk) 06:42, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

    If he hasn't technically violated 3RR you'd be better off getting it semi-protected for a week. That would stop the IP edits for a while and then the editor would have no option but to try and resolve it on the talk page. Betty Logan (talk) 07:55, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

    Comments:

    Both Ramdrake and this IP are engaged in an intense edit war over the article, which has involved them reverting it five and four times respectively in the past 14 hours. I've made a suggestion about a possible compromise between them on the article talk page (linked above), but am being ignored by both edit warriors. As can also be seen from the talk page, neither of them has put forth any real effort towards resolving this dispute there, despite efforts from other users to mediate it. None of the other users involved in this article are being disruptive, so I don’t think page protection is necessary here; something just needs to be done to stop the edit war between these two. --Captain Occam (talk) 16:00, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

    FWIW, I've stopped reverting. However, I was only trying to get the IP to discuss his changes on the talk page, as there was consensus that his edits were erroneous (factually incorrect), therefore they should be removed in the interest of the project (many such erroneous edits of his still stand -- but I won't touch them now).--Ramdrake (talk) 06:24, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
    (ec) I counted five reverts by the IP as he tried to readd the disputed material The material is from a questionable primary source and is undue. I reverted one of the IPs edits. The fourth diff given for Ramdrake has nothing to do with the material being added by the IP. So I count 5 reverts of the material by the IP and 4 reverts by Ramdrake. The IP's content is still in the article. He edited for one day and has added problematic material to the article. He left 2 comments on the talk page, the second quite odd. . "Lieberman is absolutely note a rationalist, he is a marxist. Hundreds of studies have clearly demonstrated that the cranial capacity of blacks was smaller, their pelvis is smaller and the cranial capacity is less than the third week of pregnancy! It should not include Lieberman is an obscurantist who denies the very foundations of the theory of évolution." The person he's talking about is the late anthropologist and sociologist Leonard Lieberman. As far as I know he's not a Marxist.Mathsci (talk) 12:51, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

    I have attempted to edit this section of the Assessment and Qualifications Alliance but someone keeps reverting these without justification. A page devoted to this topic on its own was deleted from Misplaced Pages but this deletion is being circumvented by putting the content within another page. The vandalism of my edits is being carried out by several very similar IP addresses: 138.38.32.168, 138.38.32.167, 138.38.32.169, 138.38.32.170, 138.38.32.172. I've posted coments on the talk pages of several of thes users and on the discussion page of the article itself. I've written detailed justifications for the edits I've made and feel that the section should either be removed or left as a brief account of what happened.

    While each "version" only appears 3 times, with 6 reverts in a little over 2 hours it's very clear that:

    1. This editor has no regard for WP:3RR.
    2. This editor is here pushing his POV. See the content, as well as the edit summaries.
    3. This editor has no intent of seeking consensus, and would prefer to edit war.

    Agree with Blaxthos - While revisions don't all relate to the exact same material, this appears to be very aggressive editting against the objections of multiple editors. Suggest temporary topic ban. NickCT (talk) 21:11, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

    Some of those edits I did before I got any objection. I only actually reverted my edits three times(I got the Three Revert edit warning and stopped) since then I had made different edits to the article which have nothing to do what was being reverted and which havn't been undone because others have acknowledged that they were the correct edit to make. In short I have made any edits since yesterday, only three reverts have I made thus not breaking the 3revert rule, and I have resigned myself to discussing things on the talk page. This is just a cheap ploy to get me banned from discussing things on the talk page, I havn't made any edits since yesterday, and am clearly not edit warring(as you can tell if you look at my edits). Ink Falls 22:36, 24 May 2010 (UTC) Here's a break down of my edits:

    • 1st revert: 19:59 23 May Noticed the wording of the article didn't make logical since, they call it a "feud" when O'reilly(as the article states) has never mentioned Olbermann on his program and the whole "rivalry" doesn't appear to be acknowledged by O'reilly at all.
    • 2nd revert: 20:19 23 May revert of first edit
    • 3rd revert: 21:54 23 May since talk page seemed to want to call it a feud I said, "Well then let's at least include the reply Fox News has given to the "feud" and copy and pasted the reply the same article gave.
    • 4th revert: 22:12 23 May revert
    • 5th revert: 22:25 23 May editors complain that segment I added was too large of a monologue, so I compromised and shortened it to a few sentence fragments.
    • 6th revert: 22:41 23 May a newer editor incorrectly changed a sentence from saying "O'Reilly has rarely, if ever, mentioned Olbermann's name on the air" to "O'Reilly avoids mentioning Olbermann's name on the air", because the source says "he has apparently never mentioned Mr. Olbermann’s name", and no one has reverted this edit of mine because it was the correct edit to make.

    In short I have made only 2 direct reverts, I have changed the types of edits based off what I have heard on the talk page and have not continued to make anymore edits until I get a responses(note I made those reverts because people were reverting my edits without stating why on the talk page(I started a section) but rather instead making comments like "Careful your POV is showing" or "This is a useless, meaningless edit"). I only use reverts when people are reverting my edits without posting a reason why. Since there has been an ongoing discussion I have not made any reverts since yesterday. Ink Falls 22:48, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

    So, instead of taking responsibility for (1) egregious POV-based edit warring, and (2) a clear attack on the subject of the article, you now come here and assert that the report is a "cheap ploy"? //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 22:41, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

    Yes, it is a cheap ploy, why not just discuss things with me in the discussion instead of trying to get me banned? Nothing I have edited could ever be consider "egregious POV", I gave my reasons for making the edits, if you disagree with them then that's fine but come up with a good reason don't just say "Its POV but I disagree with it". Ink Falls 22:51, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

    Note: Dayewalker posted this on my talk page "Just letting you know, you're at WP:3RR on Keith Olbermann. Please don't edit war, and continue the discussion on the talk page. Thanks! " Since then I have only made one edit (#6) and it was completely justified. Ink Falls 22:53, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

    Blocked – for a period of twenty-four hours. I didn't block him for the edit-warring -- he's clearly taken a break and taken matters to the talk page -- but his POV/agenda-pushing is impossible to ignore and is not at all useful to the article. -- tariqabjotu 23:39, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

    Comments:

    This editor has had a confrontational editing style, and a harassing attitude towards me in particular, for quite a while. One example of this is his constant posting of warnings in my user talk (two today, three in the past week; seven of the eight most recent edits to my user talk are from him), including his most recent comment there accusing me of edit warring for reverting the article twice after he'd already violated 3RR on it. He also has a history of making personal attacks against me and anyone else who disagrees with him; there are too many of these to list, but the most significant of them is accusing me of being a holocaust denier. (Which is false and completely unsupported.)

    His confrontational attitude has ramped up recently, as can be seen from his recent contributions (things like two separate warnings on my userpage that are only a few minutes apart, and asking why I hadn't yet replied to a comment he'd left only eight minutes earlier.) I think some sort of time-out for him would be really beneficial to everyone involved in this article. --Captain Occam (talk) 05:03, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

    Four reverts in 25 hours or so, not quite 3RR but close enough. This is made even worse by the fact that this is a sock of the banned User:Shuppiluliuma. SPI is here: .Athenean (talk) 06:13, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

    It seems to be a very complicated case. My misgiving is that user: JanVarga is a sockpuppet of banned Samofi as all he did on wikipedia were 2 reverts in order to restore the same as Samofi edited on this very article beforehand.

    Nay, MartinMagera and user:78.128.181.9 are also probably sockpuppets of Samofi as they ditto resume Samofi's "work" on wikipedia after he has been banned from editing. --Nmate (talk) 15:53, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

    Well, the blocked user confirmed that 78.128.181.9 is his IP address. "User:78.128.181.9. I think its me, sometimes Iam not logged and write. Last user is not me. --78.128.181.9 (talk) 07:14, 9 May 2010 (UTC) Ok, so iam sure its me now :) but Tobar888 is not me. --Samofi (talk) 07:16, 9 May 2010 (UTC)"The account has been blocked, but the IP address not, (should be, not?) hence he can still edit in a disruptive way.--B@xter 16:21, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
    CommentThese reverts did not even happen on the same day, hence it is not 3RR, although I agree that tis recent revert war is very disturbing.--B@xter 16:29, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
