    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:melonbarmonster reported by User:LactoseTI (Result:48h)

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

    Comments

    Blocked for violating 3RR before. All reverts include some insistence about the ship being "ironclad." Some of the reverts were actually vandalism (removing cited sources). After leaving a note on his page, incivil ]. User removed cited statements (after removed the citations) with misleading summaries (saying they were "vandalism") ]

    Not sure whether it's appropriate to add back the reference myself (he does not like references which don't support his ideas), but at this point I guess it's obvious that he's not interested in article quality, so would just be an edit war anyway. —LactoseTI 22:06, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

    There's simply no 3rr. Furthermore, Lactose has already admitted that I didn't delete his references on my talk page. In spite of his admission he's again falsely claiming this accusation again. If you look at the talk page and history of this wiki-article, you'll see that Lactose has continually made disruptive edits and reverts rather than participating in the talk page and engaging in progressive and responsive edits as I have done. This 3rr report is simply vindictive and further disruptive behavior by Lactose.melonbarmonster 22:55, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
    Perhaps you misunderstood something--I never said you didn't remove the references (look at the diff's). Reporting someone for edit-warring and reverting 4 times is not vindictive. (I wish I had realized your reverts didn't stem from lack of knowledge but lack of desire to move forward earlier, unfortunately it took until your 4th revert for me to realize it.) —LactoseTI 23:02, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

    Somewhat complex case, but it does appear to me that all the edits given above are in fact reverts, and it's clear melonbarmonster is edit warring. Blocking for 48 hours due to repeat offense. Other admins: review if necessary, complex cases can always use another set of eyes. Heimstern Läufer 02:27, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

    User:ElKevbo reported by User:arla364 (Result:no vio)

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

Instead of discussing his concerns on the he instead improperly used his position as a Misplaced Pages editor to block others who were reporting his vandalism.

    It also must be noted that User:ElKevbo was following the advice of another user User:Pizzaman0000 and who has been warned multiple times for engaging in .

    I'm filing an RFCU. This editor's only two edits are on this page and they are very similar to the editor whose 3RR violation led to him or her being blocked a few hours ago. --ElKevbo 22:54, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
    • This is absurd. Only two reverts given; not even an effort to make this look like a real 3RR report. And coming from an account clearly created solely to make this report. Please don't waste our time with this. Heimstern Läufer 02:31, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

    User:Groovyman reported by User:Goodnightmush (Result:no block)

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

    Comments
    He has been around for 2 months, I don't know if that means he is still a "new user" or not. I changed the version he kept putting back about two (and a half) times, incorporating some of what he wanted in. Twice more his version was changed by (several) other users. Please note that, although I have edited the page 3 times in last day, once was just to revert vandalism. I'm not requesting a block specifically, just some kind of intervention, as I'm afraid to put back the collaboration of several users and ip's for fear of violating 3RR myself.

    Comment: Deleted text, “ DJ McCatty, famous minor league player” melonbarmonster 01:08, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

    I'm not sure what you're getting at... The Troy, Michigan was related to me removing spam, not adding it (although one tripped up with the script and I re-added some unintentionally, which I immediately corrected--that happens in the fight against spam).
    You replaced one vandalism for another.melonbarmonster 01:45, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
    The script goes back to the previous revert. In verifying nothing went wrong, I realized there was a chain of vandalism there and reverted back to the most recent, cleanest version I could find. Though I don't really see a need to explain, I'm sure any admin who looks at this will realize immediately what you're trying to do here. —LactoseTI 01:54, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
    Besides that, 3RR applies to one article at a time, and reverts together in a single block don't even count at all... or you'd be guilty of about 15 reverts instead of 4. You are allowed 3 reverts, not 4. —LactoseTI 01:20, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

He's just returned to editing after a 1-month block for edit-waring , yet he's resumed edit-waring and broken 3RR again, even after he was explicitly told the last time he was blocked, that he was very close to being blocked indefinitely if he doesn't improve his behavior. --Mardavich 02:03, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

    A total of 6th revert, clearly had violated the 3RR rules. Funny things is that that guy even made a report on other while received without any result. When a reporter himself had violated the 3RR rules he should had blocked as well. Eiorgiomugini 10:09, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
    Those are edits. They aren't all reverting back to the same version of the article - at least not the one you've cited. Result: no violation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Waggers (talk • contribs) 12:47, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
    Unfortunately those ain't just edits as you can see, an editor does not have to perform the same revert on a page more than three times to breach this rule; all reverts made by an editor on a particular page within a 24 hour period are counted for your info. That's how three-revert rule appiled from Misplaced Pages:3RR. Eiorgiomugini 16:03, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

    Is there no respone from any of the admins. Is that mean I should made another troll report on this. Regards Eiorgiomugini 18:24, 13 April 2007 (UTC) ===User:Francis Tyers reported by User:Baristarim (Result:)===

    Established user, very well knows about 3RR - been warned here anyways. Baristarim 12:29, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

    User:Netscott reported by User:Radiant! (Result:24 hrs)

    Three-revert rule violation on Misplaced Pages:Straw polls (edit | ] | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views).

    This user has previously been blocked for 3RR .
    The user objects to all content on Misplaced Pages:Straw polls that does not match his opinion, calling it "soapboxing" or "propaganda" , and requests that other people cease editing the page .
    Other recent revert warring by this user on Misplaced Pages:Resolving disputes (note talk page) and m:Polling is evil (note this warning). See also this thread on WP:AN last week, in particular this remark by User:Cryptic.
    >Radiant< 13:51, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
    This is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. This user is attempting to game this 3RR system by fabricating reverts (note the level of detail he's gone into to justify that the diffs he's provided are reverts). This user himself has a long history of violating 3RR. He himself just recently evaded a block for 3RR violation and has previously done so as well: 3RR vio 2, 3RR vio 3. I admit that edit warring is wrong and that both Radiant! and I have been engaging in it. If I am to be blocked for that then I would recommend that User:Radiant! be blocked as well. (→Netscott) 14:32, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
    Also please note that both User:Radiant! and I have engaged in volumious discussions at Wikipedia_talk:Polling_is_not_a_substitute_for_discussion, Misplaced Pages talk:Straw polls and Wikipedia_talk:Resolving_disputes#Disputed_section as we attempt to resolve this ongoing dispute about Misplaced Pages guidelines properly reflecting Misplaced Pages practice surrounding polling. (→Netscott) 14:37, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
    Wow, guys. Uncool. Two experienced editors like you should have been able to talk this out long before it got to 3RR. Tough call. It's going to take some looking into, and I'd appreciate another admin's opinion on this. Kafziel 14:39, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
    It looks like netscott was trying to game the system. I would expect him to be very aware of the WP:3RR and as an administrator, be held to a higher standard. I personally think an appropriate WP:3RR block is in order here. If it had been any other editor, they most likley would have been blocked. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 14:48, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
    Somewhat confused by this comment, as Netscott is not, and has never been, an administrator. Orderinchaos 04:58, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
    Actually Crislk02 if we want to talk about gaming the system, I would recommend reviewing User:Radiant!'s behavior illustrated in this report. (→Netscott) 14:54, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
    Well neither of us is editing on these pages currently. Probably a better solution would be for Misplaced Pages:Straw polls to be protected and for us to engage in mediation because this dispute has revolved around us. I hate to admit it but this has even carried over to Meta where Radiant! reverted four times yesterday: rv 1, rv 2, rv 3, rv 4. (→Netscott) 14:48, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Decision: I am very unhappy about this, but I have blocked Netscott for 24 hours. I have also protected the page (I'm sure it's the "wrong version") and although I know Radiant! can still edit it, I implore him not to. It was a pretty tough call not to block both editors, so please don't prove me wrong. I definitely suggest you guys find better mediation than 3RR. Kafziel 15:04, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
    As an uninvolved admin I'm a little concerned by this block - 2 of these edits are clearly not reverts (one is simply commenting out a single line while the other is a one-line content edit). I think this decision should be reviewed, although it was taken in complete good faith by the blocking admin and they handled the above exchange extremely well. It stands *regardless* that users should seek far more appropriate ways of dealing with conflict - both of the users involved have a long history of positive contributions to the encyclopaedia.

    User:131.193.9.108 reported by User:Michaelbusch (Result:24 hrs)

    Three-revert rule violation on N. R. Narayana Murthy (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views).

    • Diff of 3RR warning: 21:27
    Comments
    There has been edit-warring about Murthy's actions regarding the playing of the Indian nation anthem during a recent visit of President Kalam to Infosys. I had attempted to move this to a discussion on the article's talk page, but 131.193.9.108 has been repeatedly adding back a version that blatantly violates WP:NPOV and perhaps Misplaced Pages:No personal attacks and ignoring warnings. I am afraid, however, that I may myself have violated WP:3RR in removing this material. I request Administrator evaluation of my own actions, as well as a block of 131.193.9.108. Michaelbusch 21:42, 13 April 2007 (UTC).
      • I have blocked the IP for 24 hours several hours ago because of edit waring since the IP was presistant and refused to discuss the changes, but I would also like to see your side of the story on why this section shouldn't be in the article and how it is not NPOV and vandalism. Since you have called yourself out and stepped out of the edit war after the last time the IP placed the section in, I don't see a point in blocking you as that would be punitive and pointless at this point. I will, however, suggest using caution when reverting another user's edits without discussing it with them on their talk page, this way you can see why they keep adding it into the article and get their side of the story and prevent further conflict.

    This is crazy. I am fixing references, removing unsourced material (wp:blp) and trying to improve this article. Anything I remove is unsourced or written in a pov manner.

    User is intent on starting an edit war over a very trivial issue (he keeps removing the "-" is Fatal Four-Way match). He is ignoring the evidence presented on both the talk page of the article and at WP:PW. I have shown that WWE uses both "Fatal Four Way" and "Fatal Four-Way", that third party sources use both (but mainly use the dash), that the dash makes it grammatically correct, and that using the dash has been the de facto standard for as long as I can remember in PPV articles here at WP. Since I have a feeling he will just continue the reerting (he stopped yesterday after he reached 3 reverts), I decided to report him here. I feel silly about such a trivial issue, but he insists on changing the standard used here even though no one agrees with him. TJ Spyke 01:39, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

    Biophys claims that the article is protected, although protection term has elapsed. He perfectly knows what is WP:3RR since I was blocked once because of dispute with him.Vlad fedorov 06:16, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

    Neither one of you has violated 3RR yet, but you're both pushing it. Please complete your mediation case and come to an agreement, no one's going to get what they want through edit warring. Seraphimblade 06:39, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

    Repeatedly messing up the images and deleting useful comments. Didn't stop after discussion. Miaers 02:50, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
    Comment As I'm sure an admin will notice, the first "revert" is anything but; it's an editor making useful edits. Miaers himself then violated 3RR and was blocked for two weeks. Cheers, PaddyM 03:16, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

    As long as it is more than 3, it is a violation. I was blocked even for removing copyvio images. Miaers 03:33, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

    There is no rule on the time lag for violation. He was not reported 2 weeks ago because I was wrongly blocked 2 weeks ago. I don't think User:Psantora has realized he had violated 3RR. He needs to be blocked for the violation to prevent hime from any violation in the future. Miaers 13:37, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

    User:Iranzulqarnain reported by User:Arcayne (Result:)

    Three-revert rule violation on Template:300 (film). Example user (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log):

    • 1st revert:
    • 2nd revert:
    • 3rd revert:
    • 4th revert:
    • Diff of 3RR warning:

    Though the user was warned along with the welcome template by Slowking Man, the user continued to revert. When Slowking Man inquired about the reverts on the offemder's page, Iranzulqarnain responded by accusing Slowking of "helping racist in the world", and then posted a similar remark on the oh-so-calm 300 Discussion Page.

    Request for comment at capture-bonding

    Hi, I've been trying to wikify and clean the article on capture-bonding for over a year now and I'm getting repeatedly reverted by two users, one of whom is mentioned in the article and citing himself. There are numerous issues involved. Please comment: here. Thanks: --Sadi Carnot 09:54, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
