	The latter four reverts were made within a two hour period and therefore a clear violation of the three revert rule. In each of these reverts they were restoring "several" as an estimate despite it being completely unsourced. In their reverts they claimed that the sources cited such as Amnesty International and NBC news are "clearly biased and politically motivated". They further claimed that "thousands" which I added from the sources was unsourced even though I quoted the relevant text from Amnesty. They were warned four days before for edit warring over this exact issue on the related ]. User:HistoryofIran and told them to go talk. They also warned them for edit warring but Taha Danesh quickly . A couple days later Taha Danesh resumed edit warring this time on Ebrahim Raisi.

In a talk page thread initiated by Boackandwhite, I attempted to explain why his edit had been contested: However, Boackandwhite stopped replying and instead resumed edit warring, apparently convinced that since the U.S., the most powerful member of the NATO alliance, clearly supported the Afghan mujahideen, that must also mean that NATO as a whole can be considered allied to the mujahideen—no sourcing or verification necessary.

			Even though this can be considered a low-intensity edit war, Boackandwhite's to understand Misplaced Pages's sourcing/content policies and insistence on reverting to restore the perceived ] to our article, coupled with a break in communication from this user, has reached a point where some kind of administrative action may be warranted.

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.

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.

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.

Not a 3RR violation, but definitely slow-burn edit warning. RobinCarmody has repeatedly edited in redundant, clumsy and WP:POINTy phrasing into the sentence. I have explained why I don't think it is necessary or valid on the talk page. He is free to disagree of course, but a resolution cannot be reached by avoiding the dsicussion. After 20 years on Misplaced Pages he should know the ropes by now. Betty Logan (talk) 13:31, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Indefinitely pblocked. In addition to the edit-warring, the user's failure to discuss their edits on the article Talk page is concerning. Also, the user should use edit summaries, particularly when reverting other users. The user has some 16K edits, of which just a bit over 4% include edit summaries. Edit summaries are not required, but many unexplained edits are looked at with suspicion.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:13, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

This editor was banned last week for 7 days after 5 reverts about this same content (link). They have now made 5 reverts again today, the first day that their block ended. They have barely contributed to the extensive talk page discussion, where other editors have been working towards a consensus. – notwally (talk) 23:47, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Yes, I will discuss the issue on the talk page. Getting a little impulsive with these reverts. Æ's old account wasn't working (talk) 23:49, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

You are already at 5 reverts on the day your block for making 5 reverts about the same content ended, and now you are also sending out 3RR notices to other editors such as me (despite me only reverting twice, as there were 2 other editors who also reverted you today). The talk page discussion has been ongoing for over a month, and I think your contribution there so far speak for themselves. – notwally (talk) 23:54, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

You only seem to focus on my contributions to reverting the changes, not my contributions to the talk page discussion. If you want this edit war to end, best you stop by on the talk page to do some civil discussion. Æ's old account wasn't working (talk) 00:00, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Æ, you made your first contribution to the talk page discussion three minutes before writing this reply. You aren't really in a position to demands others "stop by on the talk page" when it took four reverts from three different editors before you did the same. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 00:04, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

I guess my ADHD brain thinks reverting is better than discussion on the talk page. At this point I don't even know why I keep edit warring. Maybe I have inherited this "bludgeoning" from my father. Don't know anymore. I just don't.

Help me. I don't think I can take it anymore. I have gone mentally insane. Æ's old account wasn't working (talk) 00:14, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

It's difficult to say why any of us edit war, but you're not alone in it. I think the best option is to just keep going. Consider doing a different task or finding another article to work on in the meantime; you've made plenty of good contributions here, so keep doing that. Find something that makes you happy. Just remember, it's not the end of the world. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 00:29, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Problem is, all of my edits get reverted. I can't figure out why. I am stuck in a permanent edit war on every article I touch, whether I like it or not. HELP! Æ's old account wasn't working (talk) 00:36, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

All of them. On every article I edit. All of them get reverted. Æ's old account wasn't working (talk) 00:36, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

That's not entirely true; looking at your contributions, I see many edits that were not reverted. In any case, you should consider reversions an opportunity to build your knowledge; discuss on the talk page and explain your edits. You may learn something to keep in mind for the future, or you might teach something to someone else. It's always better to respond to reversion with discussion than with more reversion. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 00:46, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Understood. Æ's old account wasn't working (talk) 00:48, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Do you even take my edits into consideration? Æ's old account wasn't working (talk) 00:03, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Since Æ's old account wasn't working cannot keep himself from reverting on this article even after having been previously blocked from edit warring at the same article, I've partially blocked him from the article for a month. If he gets talk page consensus for the disputed edits prior to the block expiring let me know and I'll lift the block.-- Ponyo 00:10, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Diff of ANEW notice posted to user's talk page:

Comments:
Boackandwhite, a new account with fewer than 100 edits, has already racked up an impressive record of disruption, even if this is more due to lack of competence than bad faith. Boackandwhite's talk page is filled with warnings about adding unsourced or unverifiable content, removing speedy deletion tags out of process for a page created by Boackandwhite himself, uploading an image with no source or license information, and making edits that contravene Misplaced Pages's Manual of Style.

At Afghan mujahideen, Boackandwhite reinstated unsourced material after it was challenged (primarily by myself, but also by other page-watchers) five separate times in less than a month, eventually merging a source that plainly fails verification to validate the proposed change (and that's excluding multiple IP edits that cannot be conclusively linked to Boackandwhite). In a talk page thread initiated by Boackandwhite, I attempted to explain why his edit had been contested: "Since your source does not directly state that NATO is an ally of the mujahideen, your edit failed verification and has been reverted. If you disagree, then please provide a page number and quote of the relevant excerpt that verifies the claim." However, Boackandwhite stopped replying and instead resumed edit warring, apparently convinced that since the U.S., the most powerful member of the NATO alliance, clearly supported the Afghan mujahideen, that must also mean that NATO as a whole can be considered allied to the mujahideen—no sourcing or verification necessary.

Even though this can be considered a low-intensity edit war, Boackandwhite's seeming inability to understand Misplaced Pages's sourcing/content policies and insistence on reverting to restore the perceived "truth" to our article, coupled with a break in communication from this user, has reached a point where some kind of administrative action may be warranted. Thank you for your consideration.TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 06:59, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
