    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:

    Per the edit stats on the page, the subject created the page and is the biggest contributor to it; twice as many edits is the next editor (me). The WP:OWN and continued POV pushing against the WP:PSCI policy is clear, as is the edit warring in this instance. Jytdog (talk) 15:57, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

    First off, Jytdog links to several "warnings" I received about edit warring (1,2,3), but each of those times, he templated me for reverting him only once on articles not under a 1RR restriction. Blatant violations of WP:DTR.
    Also, as User:Acdixon noted on Talk:Is Genesis History?, the wording being pushed on that article is so absurd that it even astounded him (a seasoned admin). The content I reverted clearly meets exeption 7 of WP:NOT3RR, as the wording has been shown to be patently false, biased, unsourced, and going against BLP (Ken Ham is a living, and controversial, person). I apologize for the number of reverts, but the fact that the content I was reverting was false and covered by NOT3RR, this report here is ridiculous. --1990'sguy (talk) 16:05, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
    Also, I do not WP:OWN any articles here -- I've admitted this multiple times. You're confusing WP:OWN with removing patently false information (with POV wording) about a living person (Ken Ham). I do not engage in POV-pushing here -- labeling legitimate editors who you disagree with as "POV-pushers" is unhealthy for this website. --1990'sguy (talk) 16:08, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
    I'm a little confused - what in any of those reverts is "false, biased, unsourced, and going against BLP"? I don't see anything that resembles that. Black Kite (talk) 16:25, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
    Ken Ham is a BLP, and as Acdixon noted, he does not own the Ark Encounter. That type of wording is false, and it is also used exclusively by his opponents when they mock AiG and Ham. --1990'sguy (talk) 16:53, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
    You acknowledged that you are aware of the policy. Thanks for that. Citing an admin's support on the content, as if that justifies your behavior, is terrible. You have unambiguously violated 3RR in pursuing the culture wars here in WP. This is not what editing privileges are for. Jytdog (talk) 16:39, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
    No, I cited WP:NOT3RR, specifically point 7. The edit inserted false info about Ham, which was worded in a biased manner. I am not "pursuing the culture wars" here, and I did not register on WP, nor start editing YEC-related topics, to fight any battles. You violate WP:NOTBATTLE by adding blatantly biased info into WP articles like the false claim that Ham own the Ark Encounter (see the comment linked above). --1990'sguy (talk) 16:53, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
    You have not walked back from policy-violating behavior here; not one step. On how this is part of a larger issue, diff Unfortunately, it is essentially impossible to remove their bias -- I've tried for a while unsuccessfully. If you are unable to make your changes there, I recommend CreationWiki or Conservapedia, which offer a different point of view on creation. I will not be replying further. Your further behavior here - trying to argue the content here, CRYINGBLP, etc, only provides further reason that a block is due. Jytdog (talk) 16:58, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
    You have been trying to "punish" me for a while already -- you first constantly templated me simply for reverting you once on articles without 1RR restrictions. Next, you nominated one of my articles for deletion (the result was a 3:1 keep) and accused me of all sorts of other ANI-worthy violations on the AfD and the article talk page. Then, you !voted delete the next time the AfD happens (article is kept again) and accuse me of violations. Next, you falsely accuse me of COI and seek to block/ban me. Now, you've pounced on the fact that I reverted a blatantly false and biased phrase from the article and are seeking to block me. It's you who have the battleground mentality. I've never tried to block you or delete your articles because of our disagreements.
    The comment you linked above was me offering advice to a frustrated new editor. I have genuinely tried to make WP's articles on YEC less biased (in the sense of them intentionally going out of their way to bash YEC, rather than simply providing the mainstream viewpoint), and have proposed wording/solutions that even I would never add to one of the websites I mentioned above. That's why now I mainly edit politics (a lot less biased, surprisingly) these days. --1990'sguy (talk) 17:18, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

    There are more reverts...but with a different IP ...but they are clearly related Moxy (talk) 03:51, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

    I do not understand why I was reported. I have left a few messages now on users' talk section, as well as on the talk section of Italy. There are inconsistencies in the summary sections on other nations and these are not removed, yet they are removed on the Italy section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:42:901:E7A0:DD4A:B31F:C02A:F1C2 (talk) 04:15, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

    Query

    Can any uninvolved admin have a look at Talk:The House of Fine Art & User talk:Accesscrawl#Vandalistic edit?. The page creator twice restored all of the removed user-generated/redundant sources without any explanation, although I've explained each of my edits clearly.

I just want explanation from them for their unexplained disruptive edits, so that I can continue the cleanup of the article. BTW, I don't know about the correct forum for this sort of request, so my apologies in advance. Thanks. - NitinMlk (talk) 06:10, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
