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.

Comments:
Back on 22 January, an IP made a minor, and reasonable, change to an episode summary at How I Met Your Mother (season 8), replacing vague information with a specific point about the episode plot. This was later reverted by another IP, who claimed it was a spoiler. As removal was contrary to WP:SPOILER, it was reverted. On 2 February, Eaglestorm reverted the change without explanation. That edit was reverted, with the editor stating quite correctly in his edit summary, "Summaries are supposed to summarize, not tease". Eaglestorm's next visit was 9 February, and since then has been edit-warring over the content. Multiple attempts have been made on his talk page to engage him in discussion, but these have proven fruitless. I initiated a discussion on the article's talk page, and invited Eaglestorm to the discussion, to no avail. After I initiated the talk page discussion, an IP posted to my talk page, explaining that Eaglestorm will not engage in discussion. This claim seems well supported by Eaglestorm's talk page history. There are numerous cases where editors have attempted to engage him, but he refuses, instead simply deleting requests with inappropriate edit summaries, calling editors trolls, socks and SPAs. Even my attempts to engage him were deleted as "nothing more than prodding at the behest of some SPA editor", and the edit-warring warning was reverted as "unjustified warning at the behest of SPA". Eaglestorm has now posted at my talk page, but still has not engaged in any discussion over his contentious edits, and his 5th revert above clearly indicates that he intends to continue his edit-warring. --AussieLegend (✉) 15:15, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Just noting that after Eaglestorm's peculiar (dare I say "paranoid") post on my talk page,, his next edit was to delete the notification of this discussion on his talk page as "harrassment". EdJohnston has since posted on Eaglestorm's talk page requesting response to this complaint. However, Eaglestorm has not edited at all in the 32 hours since he last deleted content from his talk page. --AussieLegend (✉) 07:23, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

The user keeps reverting. This is a sensitive WP:BLP article and there are serious problems with the material that was initially added by an IP.--Bbb23 (talk) 03:26, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

He is reverting a large amount of cited information from multiple sources without specific reason or a line item edit. Has not responded on talk page.--griffy013 (talk) 10:30, 13 February 2013 (EST)

Despite taking the time to repeatedly remove my re-edits no one will talk to me on the talk page of the page in question. It is removal without discussion.--griffy013 (talk) 11:31, 13 February 2013 (EST)

I attempted both to talk to you and to warn you on your talk page, as the diff shows. Also, RedPen tried to explain to you the BLP problems inherent in the material. However, despite three editors reverting you, you continued to insist. I might add that you reverted twice more since I posted the list of reverts above. I'm going off-wiki now, so I will have no more comment.--Bbb23 (talk) 05:01, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

My personal talk page is not the place for a discussion of the page. It does not help future editors at all. See the Vargas talk page. My continued efforts at re-editing smaller chunks of the material you originally removed have been again removed without discussion - the revert is of different, re-edited material. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Griffy013 (talk • contribs) 05:10, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Yes I know the 4th revert is slightly more than 24 hours old, but the full pattern goes back several days and there is an obvious intent to preven any/all changes from his preferred version of the page.

Page protected by User:Airplaneman.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:11, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Comment: Respectfully, having recently encountered Roscelese at a catholicism based article, and knowing how hard they work to protect the content of these works, this looks more like the IP trying to get their way by removing longstanding text from the work and then blaming Roscelese for edit warring. The only reichstag climber here is the IP user. Good call in protecting the work. Fish 19:16, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

This user is trying to insert info from This Blog which is WP:Copyrightvio, remove a large part of sourced material Which is WP:Verifiability vio and engage in edit warring with other newbie editors. As a result this 2013 Shahbag Protest article become protected. I think he will start the edit war again just after removal of protection. This account start editing from yesterday and from the beginning try to vandalize the article. Even he vandalize his own talk page , where few users warn him. I think he will be blocked. Actually this is my first 3RR reporting by using this tool, If done anything wrong, please help me to report in write way. Thank you--Freemesm (talk) 06:55, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Warned. The only thing you neglected to do, Freemesm, was to notify the editor of this discussion. I've done that and I've also warned the user. However, blocking the user at this point would be punitive as they can't continue to disrupt the article while it's locked. However, once the lock expires, if they continue to edit disruptively and I see it, I will block them.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:23, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Comments:
Not a 3RR report, but a general edit warring report. There are issues with the edit that I've explained in edit summaries and on the talk page, but Nikpapag has demonstrated that he has no intention of discussing it, but chooses to edit war without explanation, not even bothering to use an edit summary in the last two diff, and there's no indication that the edit warring will cease. - SudoGhost 02:07, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm not taking any action on this because I'm about to go off-wiki, so I'll leave it for another admin. I will note, though, that Nikpapag does not talk. Hasn't talked on an article talk page since 2010 and then only a few times. Doesn't do user talk, either.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:35, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
