    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: User:William Mauco is a who is pushing in all Transnistria related articles in Misplaced Pages. He is a . He has actually other two 3RR reports pending (this is the third!), where admins didn't yet took a decision: old 3RR violation on article "Transnistria", 3RR violation on article "Sherif (company)"--MariusM 01:37, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

    This is Mauco. I don't like the personal attacks, and don't think that any decision should be based on who can yell the loudest or sling the most accusations. In this case, I was (again) not warned, but I don't see how the listed diffs can support the argument that there were four reverts. The first edit, of 03:24, will show that in particular, but please study not just that, but all four DIFFs and the whole page history of Transnistria for 3 Nov and 4 Nov. - Mauco 01:48, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

    Sfacets (talk · contribs), who has demonstrated a clear conflict of interest in regards the Sahaja Yoga articles by continually removing any source which contains negative information about the subject, is engaging in multiple bad faith reverts at the Sahaja Yoga and International Sahaja Public School articles, and using misleading edit summaries, such as deleting an entire hour's worth of changes with a complaint that the word "Hindu" was incorrect The user has been engaging in this steady pattern of reverts for months. See Talk:Sahaja Yoga#Removed links and critical material.

    Comments: This user has multiple other similar reverts on that same page, and appears to be trying to game 3RR (but failed in this case). In addition it is a single-purpose account, created for this page only, so it is a suspected sockpuppet as well. And on tp of that, the edit summaries for most of the reverts have been violations of WP:CIVIL and WP:AGF.

    User:Fys reported by User:BrownHairedGirl (Result: 24h)

    Three-revert rule violation on Westminster St George's (UK Parliament constituency) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Fys (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log):

    Time report made: 03:12, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

    Comments: This is not a simple reversion. It is part of a wider content dispute, in which Fys has been seeking to split the article Westminster St George's (UK Parliament constituency). This split has been contested at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_UK_Parliament_constituencies#St_George.27s_Hanover_Square, and repeated requests have been made to User:Fys to stop making a unilateral split, and instead to discuss the issue. Instead, he said that "There is no further discussion possible: I have provided the conclusive, final, ultimate, clinching, and decisive evidence and argument." (see diff). No other editor supports Fys's view.
    Some of the later edits introduce new information, but all of them revert the article to http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Westminster_St_George%27s_%28UK_Parliament_constituency%29&oldid=84600126 insofar as it relates to the disputed issue, the constituency's name and date of creation.

    User:T00h00 reported by SlimVirgin (Result: 8h)

    3RR on Harvard referencing (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) by T00h00 (talk · contribs)

    Reported by SlimVirgin 07:36, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

    Comments

    T00h00 arrived at Harvard referencing on October 18 and kept reverting to his version whenever elements from before the rewrite were re-introduced, with very long posts on talk that are hard to understand. User:Slrubenstein, who is knowledgable in this area, cleaned up the rewrite on November 4, but T00h00 continues to revert.

    In particular, he keeps restoring: (a) "The Harvard referencing system consists of citations (in the text) and references (alphabetized in a References section)"; and (b) that the citation should be written as "(Deane 2001, 449–51)" — which is in fact just one way of writing citations.

    Both elements were reverted to in the four reverts listed above, and in the previous version linked to. He was warned about 3RR on October 30. SlimVirgin 07:36, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

    Additional reverts (with explanation of why they're considered reverts)


    Comments: Edit comment was usually "rvv" (probably short for "reverting vandalism"). There is no plausible assertion of vandalism here. He was previously warned more than once on this article for 3RR and for false accusations of vandalsim. The changes may not be exactly complete reverts, but the changes made are

    1. Removal of {{balance}} tag.
    2. change of sublist from 1. / 2. / 3. to 1. / no index / 2. (which I believe to have orginally been a correction of a typo)
    3. change of non-specific picture list (the order of pictures must match the order in the text) to his original contribution that the pictures must be the alpha / beta cities in a specified order from GaWC 1999. Some of the text (points by alphabetical) was already removed by a limited concensus.
    Arthur Rubin | (talk) 16:39, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
    Withdraw now, if allowable. I think I've figured out what he calls "vandalism", and it's arguable. I'm afraid we've both violated 3RR again since then, but perhaps (except for the tag) we've achieved concensus. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 19:14, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

    Time report made: 05:32, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

    Comments: The user's only interest in the Christianity article is the brief reference to Muslim persecution of Christians, which he apparently feels should be expanded to include his reasons for believing Christians were better off ruled by Muslims. (I personally feel that using a mention of persecution as an occasion for praising the persecutors is indecent in addition to being poor content.) The first time around he removed Christianity from the Good Article list out of process, which the people associated with the Good Article project generally considered an abuse.

    Actually, I'm not. I'm more than willing to submit to a Checkuser. Please get your evidence in order before throwing accusations out there. Also, seeing as that you reverted more that just the "Sock Puppets" you're supposedly fighting, you are 3rring. T Gholson 16:14, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
    Four different accounts perpetuating the same edit war on the same articles with the same editor, and it's all a coincidence, right? Checkuser is not required to prove sockpuppetry when the contribution evidence is overwhelming. This may be the first time you've tried to do something like this, but the hundredth or thousandth time we have seen it. Thatcher131 18:55, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

    Comments: Although this user has not made more than four reverts in a 24 hour period This user has been engaging in edit warring that is consisting of blanket/blind reverting that includes canceling out edits geared towards avoiding redirects as well as other beneficial edits. I tried to discuss the matter with the user to no avail. As things stand now this user has reverted across User:Évangéline, Myself, and User:ThePromenader. A gentle but firm admin warning could be helpful here. This editor has now made 4 5 reverts in 24 hours. (Netscott) 19:42, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

    Here is the conversation I had with this user

    Please dont revert a 6th time. I REALLY do not want to report you breaking 3RR. But if you do revert again I will have to. Please use talk page instead I beg you! There will be no more warnings on this issue :-( -- UKPhoenix79 23:41, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
    Here is the discussion I started and in which I participate:
    Talk:V_for_Vendetta_(film)#Differences_between_the_film_and_graphic_novel_and_The_letter_V_and_the_number_5_.28aka_list_vs._text.29
    (And, full disclosure, which I recently renamed.)
    Also, make sure that you get all possible IP addresses. This is the largest ISP in Europe.
    I'm stopping this now. While I'm convinced that my changes would have improved the article, I'm also convinced that anonymous users stand hardly a chance at contributing. You (collectively, this is not the first experience of this kind) do not accept changes to Misplaced Pages except from those that follow your social ideas. Whether or not my change would have ultimately proved the better solution, you two made my life here as miserable as you could manage in the short time. You should just stop the pretense and forbid anonymous edits altogether.
    Anyway, good luck for the future. --217.235.249.52

    Time report made: 00:09, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

    Comments: This concerns the sentence "Many N-studies since then have confirmed the fact that the digestibility and biological value of soy protein for humans is comparable in nutritional value and quality to animal proteins" and its reference. Other editors including myself have tried to reword it and move it around to address his concerns, but he continues to revert. I am not blocking him myself because I am involved (I don't even remember how it happened because I have no actual interest in this subject), and will respect the decision of whichever admin reviews this report. This user is suspected of using socks in the past to avoid 3RR; he has not done that recently, however. --Ginkgo100 00:09, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

    Comment:

    The policy:

    1. Articles should contain only material that has been published by reliable sources.
    2. Editors adding new material to an article should cite a reliable source, or it may be challenged or removed by any editor.
    3. The obligation to provide a reliable source lies with the editors wishing to include the material, not on those seeking to remove it.

    The sentence in the article was fantasy (vandalism) information propagated by an anon IP who is now blocked for vandalizing the soy protein article. In my defense I was merely complying with the policy of Misplaced Pages. I should be commended for spotting bogus information added in the article. The sentence has been ammended. I was correct it was false info. Ginkgo100 tried to reword the sentence that was false. However, Gingko100 admitted he did not read the book cited as the reference. He tried to reword something without understanding the facts. Now the sentence is talking about rats. Rats is totally different. The sentence reads differently now thanks to me. Regards. AndyCanada 03:47, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

    I was a third party in this dicussion. As was pointed out by Ginkgo100 during this discussion, removing text that is part of a content dispute is not vandalism. Ginkgo100 was patient through the edit war, even avoiding giving warnings when discussion became potentially uncivil. AndyCanada was baiting other editors through edit summaries (including the "anon" IP mentioned above) while reverting, (ex: "bring it on!) which I placed a warning about on the users talk page, along with a 3RR warning. This user has a history of sockpuppet use to dodge 3RR warnings. See . Thanks. Yankees76 04:03, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

    • These are just a sample of the many reversions Kiyosaki has made today. He has been warned extensively about 3RR before (User_talk:Kiyosaki#3RR_violation), and has been claiming others have violated it, so he's clearly familiar with the rule. Since being informed of the rule he's been making many complex reverts, rather than simple ones, in the hope that they confuse editors and slip in under the rader. Jayjg 19:45, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
    There are multiple complex reverts going on between multiple parties. Have a read through this discussion here to understand some of the context and the various accusations going back and forth: User_talk:Kiyosaki#Request. Kiyosaki has also not been told that he is in a position of violating 3RR at this moment. --Deodar 22:16, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

    Comments: User:Koavf has been blocked for edit-warring very often recently . He does not seem to to have changed. After coming back from the week-long block, he started counting his reverts so that the fourth happens outside the 24h-period. This tactic has been used on many articles, especially related to Western Sahara. This time he seems to have forgotten to count.--A Jalil 09:15, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

    Comment As you can see, there is already a dispute tag, and I was reverting to that version encouraging talk. As the user refered to talk, I amended the article (as you can see, these are not blind reverts to one version, as Jalil is implying.) See also the edit made today and the talk page. This is not edit warring, nor is it reversion to a particular version of the page, but consensus-building, as there is already a dispute tag. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 18:19, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
