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.

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning:

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:

Declined: The link was added more than 1 year ago. It remained in the template for all that time with no comment whatsoever. Following a kerfuffle with Reyk, Unscintillating removed it. This could have been good faith tracking down of what Unscintillating perceived to be a problem, or it could have been being pointy and stalky. Either way, the status quo was the inclusion of the link. As such, Reyk was merely restoring the status quo. At no point did Reyk cross 3RR. Thus, the default assumption is that Unscintillating is the one guilty of edit warring, not Reyk. Since Unscintillating also didn't cross 3RR, and hasn't revered since this was submitted, I won't boomerang this back on him, but at this point it is up to Unscintillating to establish that there has been a change in consensus to remove the link. If one cannot be reached among the two editors themselves, Unscintillating should pursue dispute resolution, with WP:3O probably being a good first step (unless xe thinks the linked essay is so egregious that it ought to be taken to MfD). If Unscintillating continues to remove the links, that could be grounds for an edit warring block for xyr. Qwyrxian (talk) 05:48, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

User being reported: Maurice07 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Previous version reverted to:

This is a case of long therm edit-warring by Maurice07 on this article and multiple similar articles. He insists on adding Turkey to the european section of multiple embassy-related articles without consensus. This is an example of a revert from September which also shows his massive edit-warring back then and for which he got blocked. Please see also relevant report at ANI back then: Runaway edit-warring by Maurice07.

More recently we have the following: On 3 January he resumes the September edit-warring: Revision as of 18:37, 3 January 2013 (edit) (undo) Maurice07 (talk | contribs) and then:

• 1st revert: Revision as of 16:10, 4 January 2013 Maurice07 (Undid revision 531173255 by Aquintero82 (talk) What is the reason to revert ? I have a official source in this regard.What about yours reference?)

• 3rd revert: Revision as of 24:29, 6 January 2013 (edit) (undo) Maurice07 (talk | contribs) (Undid revision 531343209 by Sir Tanx (talk) Where is the that you have mentioned consensus? There are multiple evidence of Turkey is in continental Europe!!)
• 4th revert: Revision as of 23:44, 6 January 2013 (edit) (undo) Maurice07 (talk | contribs) (Undid revision 531531627 by Sir Tanx (talk)

No warning necessary. This editor is a veteran edit-warrior. This particular edit-warring is a continuation of a massive edit-warring campaign he started in September with the purpose of adding Turkey geographically to Europe. He is acting against consensus.

Comments:
This user has been engaged in widespread and long-term edit-warring across many articles and for many reasons. This is just another bout of such behaviour. He also got a warning of tendentious editing under ARBMAC by FPaS recently: which he later erased along with a multitude of other 3RR warnings. Here is another ARBMAC warning from FPaS back in April 2012 which he also erased. Δρ.Κ.  00:40, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

I endorse this report, and suggest that in addition to a block, discretionary sanctions be imposed. In addition to a history of edit-warring, this is user is a textbook example of an aggressive, tendentious nationalist editor with minimal positive contributions to the project. Examples of tendentious edits (tag-teaming and edit-warring over a name already mentioned a few lines below) (self-explanatory) (unexplained changes to the figures, all designed to make Greece "smaller" or "poorer") (WP:IDONTLIKEIT removal of relevant See also) (Edit-warring even though the article name is "Tenedos"), (the mere fact that he considers this "irredentist" speaks volumes about mentality) and on it goes. Examples of incivil, aggressive behavior: . Talkpage engagement and content building are next to zero. Activity consists mostly of pushing a narrow nationalist agenda at every opportunity. This is precisely the kind of user these topics do not need. Athenean (talk) 01:09, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your special attention,Dr.K.. Hopefully, you should have reported desire to edit war or 3RR warning for Aquintero82 and Sir Tanx To put it plainly, I do not find an objective and impartial your notifications. Your and Greek user Athenean′ contribs on wiki articles,the best proof of it. Also,Far as I know,if three-revert rule 3RR is repeated within 24 hours ,is a violation.Thank you.--Maurice (talk) 01:49, 07 January 2013 (UTC)

So let me see: You get blocked for 48 hours in September after a report at ANI about your Runaway edit-warring and now you come three months later to restart it without consensus and against two other users who are trying to uphold long-held consensus. And no, you don't have to break 3RR in 24 hours to be reported here. If you noticed this noticeboard is about edit-warring not only the 3RR rule. Given your history of tendentious and longterm edit-warring today's report is fully justified. By trying to shift the blame on other editors I think you are making the best case for your own blocking. As far as your evaluation of my contributions to articles here I honestly think you have no clue what you are talking about but I won't hold that against you. Δρ.Κ.  03:28, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

It's also worth noting if you are reinserting the same material over a spread out time in order to game the processes in place for edit warring it is still a violation. From what it appears this has been a long term pattern of inserting the same type of material against the consensus. that's what it looks like from the outside anyways Hell In A Bucket (talk) 03:28, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

I restored this report from the archive since it concerns long-term warring at List of diplomatic missions of the United Kingdom, and it was not closed by an admin. I left a note asking Maurice07 to agree to wait for consensus on whether Turkey is in Europe before making any further edits on that question. That could be a way of closing the report with no sanctions. EdJohnston (talk) 18:29, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Thank you Ed for the action. But as we are about to close this report the same user is involved in two more edit wars at Xanthi and List of languages in Europe where he is cn-tagging Greek as a minority language in Turkey, although it is crystal-clear that there is a Greek-speaking minority in Turkey. It doesn't get any more tendentious than that. Clearly we need an AE action at some point under ARBMAC. Δρ.Κ.  18:44, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

I can't speak for Ed, but for me, I'd prefer to see an AE report for ArbMac sanctions. I'm not trying to be process wonky; I just find I'm a little more comfortable imposing AE sanctions when the other AE admins are also having a look at what we're doing. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 03:28, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

No, not at all. Thank you very much Heimstern for the explanation but I never intended to imply that I was asking for AE enforcement from this board; this is the reason I mentioned above "at some point", meaning not now. I realise that AE sanctions are handled differently and the admins there have different standards. So no pressure on you or Ed. :) But thank you again for your advice. Best regards. Δρ.Κ.  04:31, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

• Result: Please refile this at WP:Arbitration enforcement for consideration of ARBMAC sanctions. Whoever submits the report there can link to the 3RR discussion if you want. EdJohnston (talk) 04:07, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

• Thank you Ed for your advice and for your notice on my talk. I am afraid I do not have any experience filing AE reports so I will try to gather some stronger evidence before I file. All the best. Δρ.Κ.  04:31, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:

Comments:
This purportedly brand new user insists that his interpretation of policy trumps the consensus of 3 other editors. He is also doing his best to force in the same material at Randall L. Stephenson.

And it should be noted that the one bringing this up never went to the TALK page but TAG teamed to edit without talk. I asked for page protection in hopes someone would TALK. But looking at Belchfires warning history and BAN history shows he is a edit warrior that just keeps attacking until get gets his way. --AmherstApple (talk) 00:44, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Turns out this is a sockpuppet of User:Marlin1975 (indeffed long ago). Case opened at SPI. Carry on. ► Belchfire-TALK 00:50, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

You mean this report? That pertains to User:Sonic2030, not to User:Marlin1975. Is there a connection between the two (in your view)?--Bbb23 (talk) 01:16, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

There is definitely a connection, and it's been verified by CheckUser. See the archived reports: . This is a recurring problem, and I've been reporting using the most recent sockmaster, Sonic2030, because it's familiar to admins due to recent activity. Honestly, there are so many socks at this point that it's hard to know which handle is the primary. ► Belchfire-TALK 01:24, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Maybe I'm dim, but I still don't see the connection to Marlin (not in the link you provided). None of this necessarily bears on the merits of the edit-warring report, but Amherst's conduct troubles me mainly because they edited as an IP and then as a registered account. At the same time, if one assumes they're a "new" user, the edit-warring warning came after their last revert. If it weren't for that one small point, I would have already blocked them. I'll be going off-wiki soon, so if another admin wants to take action, that's fine.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:00, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Please look again at the SPI archive, the text is in the December 19 report: So I actually have nothing more, I do note that one of these socks has a sock tag for Marlin1975. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 6:51 pm, 20 December 2012, Thursday (20 days ago) (UTC−8)

Also, the 3RR warning was the page creation edit, so you have to look at the left-hand side of the diff. The warning was given at Revision as of 13:28, 9 January 2013 (edit), and the final diff was at Latest revision as of 16:30, 9 January 2013 (edit) (undo). I may have mucked this up some when I posted the report, but procedurally it's correct. ► Belchfire-TALK 02:09, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

I got this via WP:RFPP. I blocked Belchfire for a week. This is his second week long EW block. I almost indeffed him. The other two I blocked for 24 hours and the page has been full protected for 10 days. --Guerillero | My Talk 02:17, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

How do you justify blocking BelchFire for a week for removing clearly WP:CRYSTAL information> Especially when several other editors were removing the same information for the same reason? Additionally, BF did not break 3RR. This is not justified. Arzel (talk) 18:16, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

This article, Armenian Genocide, was placed under one-revert restriction under the discretionary sanctions from an arbitration case. (1RR is enforced at the same noticeboard as 3RR.) This fact of 1RR restriction was prominently displayed on the talk page here, and on an editnotice here, and in my 1rr warning on the violator's talkpage here, which was deleted and so acknowledged.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:

Comments:

(1) I didn't bring this particular incident up on the Talk Page this time because (1) Rhode Island Red has been warned previously about 3RR violations and he has also brought charges against others, and he is well aware of the WP policy, and (2) there are already several disputes on the page, and I did not feel justified in adding still another. If RIR were so minded, he could have self-reverted after I sent him the warning noted above. Instead, he simply removed the warning as well as a holiday message I had sent him previously.

(2) There are some edit disputes on this page, but for the most part the editors are attempting to work things out, not always satisfactorily. The other disputants have been holding off on the knee-jerk reversions recently.

GeorgeLouis (talk) 17:46, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Note that RIR has been the suject now of two RfC/Us dealing with tendentiousness and edit warring. And several reports at AN/EW as well. The reverts here are, in fact, sufficiently clear, and not easily excused. RIR, of course, is welcome to remove all notices on his talk page. He can not however aver he was not warned each time. Collect (talk) 18:09, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

George and Collect -- this chronic harassment must stop immediately. I did not violate 3RR. The warnings I have received in the past for edit warring have all been from you two, arising from your own tendentious behavior and POV pushing on Frank Vandersloot. Not one of your 3RR complaints was deemed valid -- it constitutes a recurring pattern of harassment. The RfC referred to was launched by George and the basis for it was, according to his allegation, incivility, not edit warring, and it led to nothing. Furthermore, there was nothing to self-revert in this case, since the other editor involved already self-reverted back to a stable version, and I made no further edits after George posted the superfluous warning on my page this morning (which I am fully entitled to delete at my discretion); in other words, this complaint was completely unnecessary, counterproductive, and punitive. The edits George was pushing in this case violated a previously established consensus, but regardless, the issue is being discussed on the Talk page. I have warned you that I intend to pursue this chronic harassment with WP admins as it appears it would be the only way to get you stop this unacceptable behavior. Rhode Island Red (talk) 18:50, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

What harassment from me? Please note that I scrupulously avoid you -- and yet you wail about "harassment" at every turn. Really READ WP:AGF for gosh sakes! And when you cry "harassment" or "witch hunt" - be prepared to provide diffs for your claims. Cheers. Collect (talk) 01:57, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

This is a 1RR page due to the Arab-Israeli arbitration. S2grand has never engaged in the discussion despite repeated requests by Carolmooredc and me.

Ditto above, despite multiple requests he discuss the edits. Also note that Misplaced Pages:Long-term abuse/JarlaxleArtemis‎ has been stalking me, vandalising the Hagel article and other articles/talk pages and User talk pages. I don't think S2grand is him, unless he has had this as a long term account or hacked into this User:S2grand.

Danrolo engages in long-term edit wars over several articles, sometimes without logging in. He has constantly shown disruptive editing since at least November 2011, namely inserting unsourced information, refusal to back it up with references and edit warring. He has also inserted factual errors (deliberately or out of ignorance), repeatedly moved articles without consensus, despite being warned against doing so, repeatedly created biographies on living persons without citing sources, despite being warned against doing so, repeatedly removed PRODs from them, despite being warned against doing so. His talk page is plastered with good advice and escalating warnings against disruptive editing, unsourced content and edit warring. My repeated attempts to communicate with Danrolo have failed a long time ago. --RJFF (talk) 14:35, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

• Blocked – for a period of 72 hours. I've blocked Danrolo for 72 hours. However, there are a lot of articles and a lot of IPs involved. It looks like User:190.22.205.47 is the most active recently (I haven't looked at every one), although they haven't edited in about 4 hours. I'm willing to block them if they become more active. However, semi-protection may be a better alternative depending on the pattern of misbehavior. Please let me know, either here or on my talk page, if there's something more you wish done to protect the articles. I have not put them on my watchlist at this point, so I'd need a heads up.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:54, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
