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.

Comments:

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 Ruhollah Khomeini. User:HistoryofIran reverted them and told them to go talk. They also warned them for edit warring but Taha Danesh quickly deleted the notice. A couple days later Taha Danesh resumed edit warring this time on Ebrahim Raisi.

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)
