This page is for reporting active edit warriors and recent violations of restrictions like the three-revert rule.

• See this guide for instructions on creating diffs for this report.
• If you see that a user may be about to violate the three-revert rule, consider warning them by placing {{subst:uw-3rr}} on their user talk page.

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.

There is a severe edit warring from a non-registered user in the Kota Kinabalu International Airport page. Parts of the page was being blanketed by the user without providing any justification. Several users have tried to resolve the matter and even highlighted the issue on the non-registered user page. However both of the notice were ignored by this user.

Based on the timeline (as both non-registered ip addressed flip-flop their accounts on the blanking the page of Kota Kinabalu International Airport almost simultaneously, and as-per ip address lookout between the two address location located in the same area, we can deduce that the latter account is a sockpuppet of the former.--د بڠساون (talk) 06:54, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

Apart from their personal attack (see the idiot remark in their edit summary), they are also edit warring on Algiers expedition (1541) (removing sourced content and describing any attempt at restoring it as "vandalism" and "propaganda").

See Talk:Crimean War#Quotes cleanup regarding the mess this editor (using various IPs) has made of the article by their constant addition of unattributed quotes within the text, something they were told about back in December yet are still doing with their current edits. FDW777 (talk) 13:44, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

Yep huge WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT issues.Slatersteven (talk) 14:16, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

Just to add to this discussion to this edit war, as someone uninvolved with WikiProject military history or this article, I previously witnessed this editor making questionable edits to Crimean War. Personally, I found his edits to be POV pushing and his persistency in not attributing quotes problematic already, but it's clear to me now that this editor is simply not here to contribute to the project with respect for the work of others or for our readers. Pilaz (talk) 14:40, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

Part of the problem may be (or it is just a convenient excuse) they are Russian and thus seem to have issues with understanding English. They seem (for example) to not understand what prose means (AGF, which is getting harder). Even with the AGF they are still a time sink.Slatersteven (talk) 14:48, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

I find it difficult to believe an editor who can write a talk page post such as this has any difficulty understanding English. FDW777 (talk) 16:04, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

This is the most edit warring that they have been involved in. I am almost certain that Geysirhead was also violating 3RR. Zippy (talk) 18:06, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

Geysirhead went through and reverted everything I edited across multiple articles, including Justus of Jerusalem for goodness sake, which is pure stalking. they screated my userpage repeatedly, and keeps restoring their talk page edits even after i've acknowledged I've read them. they're adding swathes of poorly sourced information that doesn't meet any sort of notability, and reverting any edits on the page they feels they own.Unbh (talk) 18:16, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

@Unbh I agree with you on the stalking but you still violated 3RR whether the source was reliable or not. Zippy (talk) 18:17, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

• For the record—the disruption isn't obvious to non-admins as I've deleted the pages in question—Geysirhead is also harassing Unbh by repeatedly creating a page in Unbh's userspace. I've just in the last few minutes issued a formal warning about this, as I can't think of any conceivable AGF explanation. ‑ Iridescent 18:22, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
• (edit conflict) Fully protected for 3 days. Both Unbh and Geysirhead have violated 3RR. Both users are warned that if they resume edit-warring after protection has expired, they may be blocked without notice. In addition, the dispute should be resolved on the article Talk page, and it must be done civilly. Personal attacks may also be met with blocks.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:25, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

  The users have violated 3RR on a few other pages as well. Zippy (talk) 18:26, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

  @Bbb23 they also violated on BeWelcome, Hospitality Club and CouchSurfing Zippy (talk) 18:28, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

  I don't propose protecting all the pages on which they're in conflict. If they're not willing to follow our rules, they should just be ejected; it's not reasonable doing a mass-protection and disrupting the workflows of other editors on their account. ‑ Iridescent 18:29, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

  I thought that too. Zippy (talk) 18:29, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

• I wish I'd known about the other violations earlier. I've blocked both users for 72 hours for edit-warring across multiple articles. I've also lifted the protection on Warm Showers.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:40, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
