    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:The Thunderer reported by User:BigDunc (Result: Declined)

    Time reported: 13:27, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

    He will revert almost any changes from his version, reverting any attempt to bring the article in line with policy. BigDunc 13:27, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

    Declined In spite of the turmoil, the article seems to be moving forward. It is hard to identify specific edits as reverts since so much development is happening. I hope that more neutral editors will become interested in working on the article, though I do see good faith effort by both of the partisans who are involved in this 3RR report.

    I tried to discuss the changes on the user's talk page and on the article talk page. User's only response . I've been attempting a wholesale cleanup/expansion, of the article but have stopped for now as user is unwilling to allow changes to certain sections. Karanacs (talk) 17:46, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

    and now a legal threat from this user . Karanacs (talk) 17:54, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

    • Blocked 24 hours. However, Karanacs, please keep in mind that being stubborn and argumentative is not considered vandalism and therefore you were not exempt from 3RR when reverting his edits. If need be, seek dispute resolution in cases like these instead of contributing to the edit war. Kafziel 18:11, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
    I (finally) realized that, which is why I stepped away from the article. Thank you for the reminder. Karanacs (talk) 18:25, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

    Time reported: 06:35, 10 August 2008 (UTC)


    This is a bad faith report because I simply was doing housekeeping to use the version that was a result of a 13 day talk page discussion. The accusing user and his friend keeps reverting it to a non-consensus version that has opposition, WP:LEAD violations, and bad prose problems. I have ceased editing it and let them have their own way but I have asked an administrator to help resolve this. I am for discussion and compromise but the accuser unfortunately is not. Maybe this admin will help us (but he is going to sleep now).

    Also note that there was no warning. The warning reported is just a generic one that is old. Presumptive (talk) 06:49, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

    You have been warned in the past. You know about 3RR violations. Your "adopter" even warned you about it. Instead, you decided to muscle your revisions through no matter the group of editors that disagreed with you. While I have tried to engage in discussion about your changes, you continue to trumpet your one-man consensus revisions in the face of everyone else. -- Veggy (talk) 06:54, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
    You reverted without discussion so if you are calling for punishment, you should receive it, VegitaU. What are you complaining about because I have let you win and let you have your way even though the 13-14 day discussion of the 7 lead sentence versions have few comments from you. If you and IceColdBeer are complaining, you should have discussed it. Even now, you fail to discuss and compromise, just nag until others let you have your way. Please join me in discussion and compromise. I have already let you have your way and let the matter go for now. Presumptive (talk) 07:01, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
    My adopter has said that I am right. I even let you have your way even though your reverts have no consensus. Presumptive (talk) 07:03, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
    As I said, I have tried to engage in discussion. Please, Presumptive, click on the links of my reply above. You can't claim that I am failing to engage in discussion when there is undeniable evidence that I have been. -- Veggy (talk) 07:07, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
    Addendum: Edit summaries like this really invite discussion. -- Veggy (talk) 07:11, 10 August 2008 (UTC)


    • Not really. It doesn't matter to me who the users in question are. I'm commenting because I was about to remove an AIV report before but someone else beat me to it. Enigma 07:05, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
    I'm not sure if this helps, but another user posted the same 3RR complaint but removed it because it was a duplicate of this one. Also, I edit-conflicted with Veggy's report while trying to post my own report. Ice Cold Beer (talk) 07:08, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

    • 3rd and 4th are clear reverts he just pressed the undo button


    This is a complex matter since there are some edits in between his reverts, he has continued after the 24 H period to revert back to his version as can be seen HERE Jim Furtado (talk) 01:05, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

    User was clearly aware of 3RR, but none of the reverts are massively obnoxious. I'll let him off with a warning, as it's all rather complicated and he may not have been aware he was near 3RR. Moreschi (talk) (debate)
    Repsonse

    This is a bad report. The talk page consensus was to keep a table in the article. My edits were restorations of continued removal by User:Jim Furtado after the discussion. I'll probably have more after going through the diffs provided. This user is not acting in good faith. He is being dishonest with the facts. He has accused me of vandalism, sock-puppetry, and racism. --Elliskev 12:54, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

    The "consensus" were mostly of newly created acounts and an ip adress and they all just happen to agree with him and they all just happen to post imediately after he had posted on the discussion page, so most likely they are sock puppets of someone, and the graph in it self is by deafult racist. And I never for one second called him a racist, only the graph it is User:Elliskev that is dishonest as always with the facts Jim Furtado (talk) 00:01, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
    I interpreted your claim that the graph is "acist" as an implication that I was supporting a "racist" graph, and by extension, that you were implying that I am a racist. I will accept you at your word that it wasn't your intent. --Elliskev 00:26, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
    Follow-up after reviewing diffs
    This is an article with lots and lots of changes happening very quickly.
    The first pair of diffs... I don't know what those are. They aren't my edits.
    In the second grouping of diffs provided:
      • The first diff was a removal of text supported by this discussion.
      • The second diff provided was restoring the table referenced above (the first time).
      • The third diff provided is not presented correctly. That wasn't my edit. it is two consecutive edits, one by me and another by another editor. – this edit and my edit which is clearly undoing vandalism.
      • Finally, the fourth diff was my second restoring of the table. This was immediately followed-up with my taking the issue to the talk page (the discussion referenced above) in which I specifically said I would not restore it again. Someone else restored it after there was adequate discussion.
    Since then User:Jim Furtado has continued to try to remove if with dishonest edit summaries claiming that the discussion supported removal or that restoration was "sneaky vandalism". I left him a message on his talk, which he deleted. I have since brought the discussion back to the article talk page. I think I have done everything to act in good faith. I have been patient with Jim Furtado in his unfounded accusations, but this is just going to far. --Elliskev 13:29, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
    User:Elliskev was aware that he had broken the 3rr rule, and was warned but continues to ignore the fact and has now has made an illegally edit, trying to change the the outcome of the response. Obviously he has no respect for wikipedia rules, since he most likely created several sock puppet accounts that just happen to agree with him and were created as soon as he had posted on the discussion page. And I never for one second claimed it was supported on the discussion page all I wrote was look on the discussion page. And I have been EXTREMLY patient with
