    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.

    Page protected This editor has not (quite) violated 3RR, but there appears to be a large-scale edit war going on. TalkIslander 16:51, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
    No violation. One of 4 reverts was on June 24, another on June 27! Unless the Laws Of Nature have changed, that is more than 24 hours. Jkp212 has a long, long history of edit warring, having just been blocked ] upon my complaint for violating the 3RR Rule. In any event, the article has been protected to the status quo version (the one that has been on the article since another user created it and the one Jpk wants to change) until July 4.

    Additional information. Seems clear that this editor is a sockpuppet of edit User:Generalmesse, which is itself a sockpuppet of banned editor user:Giovanni Giove. The editor User:Generalmesse is already blocked. Justin talk 23:30, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

    User:Kober reported by User:Pocopocopocopoco (Result: 31 hours)

    Time reported: 18:35, 28 June 2008 (UTC)


    User:Pocopocopocopoco has a long history of attempts at calumniating me and provocative actions in order to spur an edit war and then report me here. A highly illustrative example can be seen here when he tried to convince the admin Moreschi to block me even though I was reverting a vandal and Moreschi explained that my reverts were legitimate.
    In this case, I was reverting an anonymous ip/a recently created account who kept removing a well-documented info on Russia's role in the Abkhazian conflict, references to which are provided throughout the article. Pocopoco, true to his tradition, decided to maintain his antagonizing stance towards me, without caring to discuss his changes in the talk page (even though I brought the case to the talk for discussion). The problem had previously been discussed ad nauseum and the article had been relatively stable for several months.--Kober 20:07, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

    Comment: Apparently the article has been deleted; therefore no further action is required. (non-admin opinion) Coppertwig (talk) 23:39, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
    Page protected The article in question has been deleted and protected against recreation until 2 July by KnowledgeOfSelf (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA), so further action is unnecessary. CIreland (talk) 23:41, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

    User:81.215.75.143 reported by User:Flamarande (Result: Blocked 24h)

    Hy, I'm hereby reporting the actions of this user who basicly is trying to push his POV and reverted the edits of the article in question at least three times (perhaps 4? I'm not sure) today. This user has already been duly warned by User:Brando130 at his personal talkpage and invited to resolve the issue at the articles talkpage. I'm sorry if this report is a bit crude (and I extend my apologies if I missed something; this is my second time I report something like this and I'm not interrested in becoming a Pro in these matters - reporting ppl). Time reported: 21:12, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

    (The following was added by Coppertwig:)

    Each revert removes "476 /" from "year_end =". Some reverts also revert other material. The year_end issue has been discussed extensively on the talk page.

    User:Sindhian reported by User:Ism schism (Result: No action)

    • Previous version reverted to:


    • 1st revert:
    • 2nd revert:
    • 3rd revert:
    • 4th revert:



    These are not reverts but as you can see there is slight variation in each edit to make it acceptable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sindhian (talk • contribs) 13:13, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
    • It is a more complex than that. Sindhian keeps trying to add his own "Contraversies" section. S/he is the only editor who thinks this is a good idea. Other editors disagree and have reverted his attempts to push his/her POV into the article. The edit history of the article speaks for itself. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 13:18, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
    I have already apologised for my misunderstanding and in any case I did not accuse but expressed my suspicion.
    I stand by this charge that some editors were working as a gang because a number of users were deleting section in tandom to avoid 3RR rule. They were also not expressing their reasons for delete. As well as many previous editors who tried to add references negative to CPI(M) were banned.Sindhian (talk) 13:52, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
    User:Hkelkar was banned for sockpuppeting, not for introducing criticisms agaist CPI(M). --Soman (talk) 13:58, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
    No action. Per Talk:Communist Party of India (Marxist)#Lets agree Sindhian has agreed to leave his disputed material out of the article. If he adheres to this deal, that resolves the edit war. EdJohnston (talk) 00:19, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

    User:Bobanni reported by User:Miyokan (Result: No action)

    Time reported: 13:22, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

    User has been editing since September 2007 with over 2000 edits, well aware of the rule.--Miyokan (talk) 13:22, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

    To be fair, note that Miyokan (talk · contribs) has been placed on 1RR and broken it: , . Colchicum (talk) 14:47, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
    Comment. Bobanni, has been a hassle in a wide range of articles where he was persistently silently reverting without even edit summaries but making sure his reverts are slow enough to technically remain under 3RR. Most of his article edits in general are reverts. Bobanni's edits were undone by a multitude of users but he persisted with his reverts trying to achieve his changes through sterile revert warring. As for a link provide by Colchicum, I see a proposal to place Miyokan on an editing restriction but the thread above indicates no community concensus to do so. Unlike Bobanni, Miyokan writes much content and reduced the reverts significantly. Punishing the user for 2 reverts of an SPA who made 5 (and was reverted by a multitude of others) just makes no sense. --Irpen 19:30, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
    Miyokan is just involved in suppressing all ukrainian references in many article, as an expression of his own extremist point of view, without any reference ...(See Ilia Repin articles, and others) This is his main contribution to Misplaced Pages, and I'm not sur he is doing a good job with all these suppressing ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.2.29.219 (talk • contribs)

    Comment. Bobanni has reverted past 3RR. I've left a comment at User talk:Bobanni inviting that editor to respond here and express his willingness to follow the WP:3RR policy. I indicated that whichever admin closes this 3RR complaint might be willing to take Bobanni's response into account in his or her closing. EdJohnston (talk) 23:08, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
    Thank-you for bringing this issue to my attention - I was under the impression (incorrectly) that this did not apply to the POV tag since in states "Please do not remove this message until the dispute is resolved." I now know this is not the case since two wrongs do not make a right. It is my intention to follow the WP:3RR policy Bobanni (talk) 23:45, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
    No action. Accepted Bobanni's promise. Mitigations were: (a) the edit war seemed to have stopped, (b) imperfect 3RR notification, (c) a revert war over 'POV' suggests that the tag may truly be needed. Bobanni should be careful not to edit war in the future. EdJohnston (talk) 00:04, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

    • Diff of 3RR warning:

    Nutshell is that Qilinom changed an image used by the artile on June 23 the image was changed back on the 24th . Qilinom reverted on the 25th and the I changed it back on the 26th . This was reverted by Usser:66.56.146.34 on the 27th and changed back on the same day . This was follwed by the chain starting with the first revert above just shy of 24 hours later.

    During the revert chain of the last 24 hours, the undoing of Qilinmon's edits have included the suggestion/appeal for the editor to take the suggested image Image:318640-80191-psylocke super.jpg‎ to the articles talk page as per the informal guideline BRD. Qilinmon has insisted on just pushing ahead with changing the image. The informal guide, as well as a project level guideline and policy relevant to the situation were pointed out to the editor.

    This was posted to Qilinmon's talk page after the editor's 3rd revert within 24 hours and just after the editor had placed a 3RR warning after my 2nd revert within a 24 hour period .

    The response to the 3RR warning to Qilinmon was the editor's 4th revert in 24 hours.

    I am also curious whether 66.56.146.34 is also Qilinmon and the two relevant edits were the result of Qilinmon either not having the time to log in or having just logged out before making the edits.

    Time reported: 15:49, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

    The anons with the same specific ISP designated in Japan vandalised the article in question as distorting information from his/her citation. The anon previously was warned by me for his/her WP:3RR breach, but one hour past after his previous reverts, the anon began to do the same thing. It is a clear gaming Wiki rules, so block is in order, I believe. --Caspian blue (talk) 15:49, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

    Page protected As none of the IPs have individually breached 3RR, it's probably best to drop it for now in the hope that the page protection solves the problem. If, however, problems persist after the protection has expired, consider making another 3RR report. TalkIslander 21:24, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

    This user has engaged in contentious edit wars in the past both with this article and also the Barack Obama article to name a few. He also has a a SSP report and also there is an AN/I report filed too. I tried to fill out this new form as best as possible. Brothejr (talk) 23:01, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

    After I filed this report I also added a 3RR warning to User:WorkerBee74's talk page. Brothejr (talk) 23:07, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
    I see only three reverts, but they were to attempt to shove in poorly cited negative material about a living person; there was also no corresponding discussion on the talkpage. Viewed in the context of WorkerBee74 being a repeated edit warrior, I'm inclined to believe that this is a behavior problem rather than a momentary lapse.

    Time reported: 11:12, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

    No discussion on Talk page. This user has engaged in contentious edit wars in the past, both with this article and also the Barack Obama article to name a few, resulting in multiple blocks. Brothejr reported WorkerBee74 (resulting in three-day block) but for some reason, neglected to report Scjessey. Scjessey has repeatedly been blocked for edit warring and 3RR violations, is in the habit of using WP:BLP as an excuse for removing well-sourced criticism about Obama, and has participated in warning and seeking blocks against other editors for violations, so is well aware of the rule.

    It takes two to edit war. If one is blocked, the other should be blocked as well. Kossack4Truth (talk) 11:12, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
