    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.

    User:Pink Evolution reported by User:Onceloose

    The above user was involved in a edit war quite some time ago apparently. The user has started adding material to For Life (Isis Gee song) falsifying the songs position in the eurovision song contest. The song came JOINT LAST and is listed as such. The user continues to add that it came second last which is incorrect as it is listed in alphabetical order as last place.

    The user has been warned about adding the same information in the past but is still doing it.

    From the talk page it looks like the user was blocked for this same naughtiness in July. 

    In order to stop an edit war please block the above user to leave the page as JOINT LAST.

    Onceloose (talk) 14:18, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

    I think this case is cleared after this discussion. Onceloose (talk · contribs) was wrong by official eurovision-song-contest-site and so you can't call his action just edit-war, you could call it vandalism, too. But per WP:AGF he just didn't know it and in future he won't act like this anymore (he already stopped reverting). That's why I think a block for Onceloose or the article is not necessary.

    • Diff of 3RR warning: 14.10 August 25 As the user is a sock-puppet of banned troll MagdelenaDiArco, he is very well aware of the rules.
    Firstly, can you pleast stop using personal attackos. Secondly, no, all of those were not "reverts", since if you actually checked the diffs, you would see I was not simply restoring the same version, but trying to add more sources each time. Therefore, it is not a break of the rule. 78.149.202.191 (talk) 14:00, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
    (Note, the article has been successfully stabilized now) 213.185.116.11 (talk) 14:07, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
    Seems to be more edit-warring at Maltese language. I am a neutral observer and can't really comment on the issues, but something seems to be going wrong with the editing process here. — Alan 15:08, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
    Alan is right, the same user is also edit warring extensively on Maltese language, with over 10 edits today. Yes, the user makes cosmetic changes when reverting, but the main message is still there, being reverted all the time. Please note that the reported user most likely is the same as the IP who posted the lie above about "the article now being stabilized". Both IPs have performed exactly the same reversions, and using another to post false comments to help the account being reported is an old trick used by MagdelenaDiArco, making me even more convinced that we are dealing with multiple sock-puppets. JdeJ (talk) 16:12, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
    Not sure why I bothered, but I did post a block warning after 15 reverts on Maltese language. I will block the IP myself if this continues. kwami (talk) 19:58, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

    All dates are August 25. He since even replied to the 3RR warning given to him and continued to revert regardless. Only 4 reverts were listed in the report although he did a lot more by the definition "undoing the actions of another editor" on the same article within 24 hours. Hobartimus (talk) 18:58, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

    Actually, he made five reverts. I recommended this user to revert himself back, which would help him to avoid sanctions (he seems to be a newcomer). Unfortunately, he interpreted my recommendation as a "threat" and apparently made 5th revert to prove his point.Biophys (talk) 19:50, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
    Also note that the text repeatedly inserted by Anatoly.bourov was a copyright violation - please compare with the original reference. So, whoever reverted him was not a "vandal" but enforced WP policies.Biophys (talk) 20:38, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

    • This isn't strictly 4 reverts in 24 hours but the spirit is what matters. This is the same content and 5 reverts of it, despite discussion on the talk page. Subject is clearly aware of the 3RR and seems to be intending to skirt it deliberately. His response to my 3RR warning above wasn't really civil but also gave me the distinct impression he was intending to push the content reversion rules to the limit.

    User first edited as IP address in same dynamic range to repeatedly insert non-consensus change. After reversions by various editors, user created an account, TimWhiskas, to try to evade the 3RR violation, and continued to edit war. Moreover, edit comments contain taunts about trying to get other users to 3RR first (presumably because we wouldn't notice the user is the IP address).

    Comment: I added information in italics to the above report. The first, 2nd and 4th revert remove the word "account" and resplace it with "theory". The 3rd revert is arguably a revert because it removes the phrase "led to the collapse of the Twin Towers", although it replaces it with the similar phrase "the collapse of both Twin Towers was caused by" earlier in the sentence. VegitaU did 3 reverts during the same time period. Coppertwig (talk) 02:06, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

    6 important details.

    1. This user was blocked from editing for 48 hours for edit warring 5 days ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User%3AMelonbarmonster2

    2. The reverts are not exactly the same, one is changing text, one is removal of a section - but all 4 edits are reverts.

    3. The first edit is a revert, it is the removal of a section that has been discussed in the past and the editor in question was involved in the discussion, while using his previous ID.

    quote "In the context of the English Misplaced Pages three revert rule, a revert is defined more broadly as the undoing of another editor's work by returning any part of a page to an older version." The first edit was reverting the article to the version that had been in existence due to consensus for a long time, the editor was well aware of the consensus, was involved in the discussion, and just because the revert is months after consensus was achieved does not make it anything other than a revert.

    4. Although this is a new(ish) account (that has 1 edit warring block already) the user was previously using another account which was blocked on more than one occasion, http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User%3AMelonbarmonster so the editor is well aware of 3RR

    5. even if the editor had made only 3 reverts, and not 4, the fact that they were blocked for edit warring 5 days ago, should be enough to show that the actions on the Kimchi article are more than deserving of another block.

    6. In the middle of the reverts on the article in question, the above editor took time to send a message to the talk page of the editor he was edit warring with, stating among other things "Please stop revert warring. If you continue to revert I will take formal courses of action." after leaving this message he went back to the article and continued with his reverts. This is borderline gaming, and shows a total disregard for the wikipedia rules that relate to reverts.

    Response

    User:Sennen goroshi is a Japanese editor who is famous for trolling Korea related articles and injecting anti-Korean, pro-Japanese POV edits.]]]] ]], etc.. In any case this is not violation of 3RR. There are only 2 reverts spaced out between other edits. User:Sennen goroshi has been tagteaming with User:Badagnani] in Korea related articles.

    First edit was deletion of a trivia section in disguise and I incorporated most of the trivia into text of the article as instructed in WP:TRIV and WP:HTRIV which suggests "If an item is too unimportant, be bold and remove it." The edit itself was also not a revert but a novel edit. Furthermore to avoid revert warring, I created a talk section at the same time I made the first edit in the series of edits I made.]

    Second edit was a revert. User:Sennen goroshi had shadowed my edits and began to revert my edits.

    Third edit was removal of text that I myself had written "ubiquitous in Korean cuisine" because I had also added it in the next sentence "kimchi is so ubiquitous to Korea cuisine" along with removal of "along with other banchan dishes" for readability of the sentence. Does reverting my own edit count as a revert under the 3rr rule?

    Fourth edit was a revert. After my explanation User:Badagnani was ignoring my requests for discussion and reverting.Melonbarmonster2 (talk) 17:22, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

    I don't understand why you are saying that I am Japanese, I don't really see how that is relevant to this 3RR report. (on a side note, I am not Japanese, but whatever) Neither do I see my edit history being relevant, nor any other petty accusations you wish to make. This report is about your 3RR violation, nothing more, nothing less.
    The edit that you claim is a removal of a trivia section, is a section that has been discussed (you contributed towards the discussion while using your original ID) and consensus was gained - you were well aware of the consensus, so ignoring whether the section is good or not, your removal of it, was most certainly a revert. When looking at the article edit history, it seems quite obvious that these were reverts, you were removing the edits of another editor in order to revert the article back to a previous state. They were reverts not only according to wikipedia guidelines, but also according to the spirit of the guidelines. Your block history makes it clear that you have no respect for 3RR, you were blocked 5 days ago for edit warring -that 48 hour block seems to have had no effect, therefore I would suggest that a one month block from editing might be suitable, hopefully after 1 month without editing, they might think twice about edit warring again.Sennen goroshi (talk) 17:41, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
    Oh and to the claim that I shadowed the user and reverted them, I edited the article today - after I had made this 3RR report. Prior to that I last edited the article over 2 weeks ago and the edit I made was to change one simple word, not a revert and nothing to do with any edit the above user has made. This report is regarding edits made yesterday and today, what I edited over 2 weeks ago and what I edited after filing this report, is obviously nothing to do with this report.

    The accused user is obviously just removing vandalism.Just as obvious is the sock-puppet that made the accusation - a sock created today. Sennen goroshi (talk) 16:10, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
    Please explain how putting a newer photo in an article is vandalism. The one who is reverting to older photos and lower quality photos (User:Comayagua99) is the true vandal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.176.46.16 (talk) 16:30, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
    Sorry, I don't reply to blatant sock-puppets.

    I removed a map from an article, stated my reasons multiple times on both the article talk page and the image talk page, other users agreed with removal of said map, and now this user is accusing me of vandalism and "page blanking". LokiiT (talk) 18:24, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

    Comment: Avala reverted 4 times within 24 hours. However, Avala has made quite a number of edits since then and going mostly by the edit summaries my impression is that Avala stopped reverting the same material on receiving the warning. I added information in italics to the above report. (non-admin opinion) Coppertwig (talk) 22:35, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
    Correction: Oops: apparently the reason there don't seem to be more reverts is that the map has stayed in the article. In other words, it's stayed in the version preferred by Avala. Sorry, my above comment was not thought through. ☺ Coppertwig (talk) 01:43, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

    Article is under probation, and Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters has violated 3RR on many occasions before. CENSEI (talk) 02:46, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

    • No violation here. 3RR prohibits making the same revert (or one that accomplishes something similar) within 24 hours. These are different: the first one is removing a link to an impersonator, the second removed the phrase "caucasian hybrid" from the article, the third removed details about Clinton's endorsement, and the fourth had to do with electoral history. None of them are the same, or even remotely similar. Also, for future reports, please provide diffs for the reverts, rather than links to versions. Kafziel 03:16, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
