    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.

    User:HunTheGoaT reported by User:Tankred (Result: 3h)

    Three-revert rule violation on Anti-Hungarian sentiment (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). HunTheGoaT (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log):

    User:William Mauco reported by User:MariusM (Result:Article is protected)

    Three-revert rule violation on Transnistria (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). William Mauco (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log):

    • Necessary only for new users: A diff of 3RR warning _before_ this report was filed here. Not a new user

    Your report may be ignored if it is not placed properly.

    Time report made: 01:37, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

    Comments: User:William Mauco is a who is pushing in all Transnistria related articles in Misplaced Pages. He is a . He has actually other two 3RR reports pending (this is the third!), where admins didn't yet took a decision: old 3RR violation on article "Transnistria", 3RR violation on article "Sherif (company)"--MariusM 01:37, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

    This is Mauco. I don't like the personal attacks, and don't think that any decision should be based on who can yell the loudest or sling the most accusations. In this case, I was (again) not warned, but I don't see how the listed diffs can support the argument that there were four reverts. The first edit, of 03:24, will show that in particular, but please study not just that, but all four DIFFs and the whole page history of Transnistria for 3 Nov and 4 Nov. - Mauco 01:48, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
    You are not a new user, you don't need to be warn. Why you consider personal attack the accurate fact that you wrote for "Tiraspol Times See end of article--MariusM 02:17, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

    User:Greier reported by User:Jmabel | Talk (Result: 2 weeks)

    Three-revert rule violation on Greeks of Romania (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Greier (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log):

    Time report made: 03:25, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

    Comments: Note also that he was reverting four different editors.

    User:Sfacets reported by User:NovaSTL (Result: 24h)

    Three-revert rule violation on Sahaja Yoga (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Sfacets (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log):

    • Previous version reverted to: (multiple, with the intent of removing negative sources)

    Time report made: 05:51, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

    Comments:

    Sfacets (talk · contribs), who has demonstrated a clear conflict of interest in regards the Sahaja Yoga articles by continually removing any source which contains negative information about the subject, is engaging in multiple bad faith reverts at the Sahaja Yoga and International Sahaja Public School articles, and using misleading edit summaries, such as deleting an entire hour's worth of changes with a complaint that the word "Hindu" was incorrect The user has been engaging in this steady pattern of reverts for months. See Talk:Sahaja Yoga#Removed links and critical material. We've tried every other way of dealing with this user, but have no choice at this point but to request administrator intervention. --NovaSTL 05:51, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

    User:Ulritz reported by User:Rex (Result:)

    This IP-adress, already a suspected sockpuppet, clearly is Ulritz (talk · contribs), here he reacts to this his punishment which he thinks is unfair. He was blocked for breaking the 1Revert temporary injunction given by the Arbcom. (See here) and this clearly constitutes contious evading of the block. Rex 09:21, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

    It was already acted upon it appears. —Centrx→talk • 20:08, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

    Really? On what do you base this?Rex 20:24, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

    I suppose it would make things too easy if you told us *which* IP address and *which* article? William M. Connolley 21:21, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

    Oh of course, I'm sorry, I thought you'd see that in the link but here they are:

    User:DAde reported by User:BhaiSaab (Result: 24h)

    Three-revert rule violation on Islamic extremist terrorism (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). DAde (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log):

    Time report made: 16:54, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

    Comments: This user's 4 reverts in 24 hours and 1 minute demonstrates an intention to game WP:3RR. All in all, he has made nearly 30 reverts to the same article since October 17th, ignoring the consensus of several other editors. BhaiSaab 16:54, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

    Time report made: 03:38, 5 November 2006.

    Comments:

    • He has been removing several referenced paragraphs for sometime now. He doesn't respect compromises and remove paragraphs without any regard for presented sources. I have put up with his personal insults and accusations (1, 2, 3) and trying to have a rational discussion with him and reach a compromise but it seems that he doesn't have respect for anything that is against his POV. - Marmoulak 03:38, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

    User:Jkp1187 reported by User:Heligoland (Result: 3h)

    A diff of 3RR warning _before_ this report was filed here: 16:27, 30 October 2006 (not a diff, but the actual edit, as this 3RR warning was the first edit on the talk page)

    Time report made: 01:34, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

    Comments: This user has multiple other similar reverts on that same page, and appears to be trying to game 3RR (but failed in this case). In addition it is a single-purpose account, created for this page only, so it is a suspected sockpuppet as well. And on tp of that, the edit summaries for most of the reverts have been violations of WP:CIVIL and WP:AGF.

    User:Fys reported by User:BrownHairedGirl (Result:)

    Three-revert rule violation on Westminster St George's (UK Parliament constituency) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Fys (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log):

    Time report made: 03:12, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

    Comments: This is not a simple reversion. It is part of a wider content dispute, in which Fys has been seeking to split the article Westminster St George's (UK Parliament constituency). This split has been contested at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_UK_Parliament_constituencies#St_George.27s_Hanover_Square, and repeated requests have been made to User:Fys to stop making a unilateral split, and instead to discuss the issue. Instead, he said that "There is no further discussion possible: I have provided the conclusive, final, ultimate, clinching, and decisive evidence and argument." (see diff). No other editor supports Fys's view.
    Some of the later edits introduce new information, but all of them revert the article to http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Westminster_St_George%27s_%28UK_Parliament_constituency%29&oldid=84600126 insofar as it relates to the disputed issue, the constituency's name and date of creation.
