    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.

    Comments:

    It has been recommended here that I report this after several days of trying to figure out how and/or get help from someone witrh experience. I don't know if I'm doing this right. To me, forms like this are dizzying and it takes a long sitting to get things right, trial & error, trial & error, trial & error, many times over and over. In all these years, I've never experienced anything like this. And I hope never to see it again. That's why I asked and hoped for help. SergeWoodzing (talk) 12:57, 17 June 2013 (UTC) -->

    PS Just found out that this is a second reported violation by this user.--SergeWoodzing (talk) 13:02, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

    I disagree that all of those diffs are reverts. Even if they were, none would count as a revert for the purpose of the 3RR, per the last of the exemptions listed here (removing unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material that violates the policy on biographies of living persons (BLP) does not count as a revert for the purposes of 3RR). I've explained that at Talk:Swedish Royal Family. SergeWoodzing insists that his "common sense" trumps verifiability, something I strongly disagree with, especially when it comes to biographies of living persons. I also have point out at how sad it is to see a user call for block of another user seven days after the dispute ended. Blocks serve to prevent further disruption, not to provide vindictive users with an opportunity to spite others. Surtsicna (talk) 13:09, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

    My notification on this user's talk page was immediately removed. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 13:14, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

    Which I was entirely allowed to do. Your obligation was to notify me and my right was to remove the notification. Anyway, as Huon neatly put it at Talk:Swedish Royal Family: "... there's no edit warring to be stopped any more, and secondly, Surtsicna clearly acted in good faith and may well have been within the bounds of the BLP exception. Reporting him may well result in a WP:BOOMERANG." There has been no "edit-warring" for the past seven days, so the only purpose of this report could be to spite me. Surtsicna (talk) 13:21, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

    It is also untrue that you have "never experienced anything like this" "in all these years". In 2012, you also wrongly reported a user for breaking the rule. Why would you claim otherwise? Surtsicna (talk) 13:29, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

    • Result: No action. The dispute is over a week old (June 10), and the apparent reverts may be justified by BLP. See this report from Svenska Dagbladet, which suggests that O'Neill's title remains to be decided. Who wants to translate "Nu blir han en del av kungafamiljen, men om han även blir en del av kungahuset är ju inte klart. Titeln återstår att se, den meddelas enligt riksmarskalken först i samband med bröllopet, konstaterar Elisabeth Tarras-Wahlberg." Giving O'Neill a specific royal title without a reliable source could violate WP:BLP. in a June 8 report on the wedding the New York Times did not say anything about O'Neill's royal status. EdJohnston (talk) 23:12, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
    ??? It seems, and has always seemed, clear to everyone else that no one ever has claimed that O'Neill has any "royal status" but on the contrary is a member of the King's extended family - kungafamiljen - which is not royal. Excluding him from that would be like excluding your sister's husband from your father's family, that's all. Can't be done, as I see it. I think you missed the point here, but, oh well, I'll certainly never bother going to all the trouble of reporting anybody, even a previous offender, for a 3RR violation again. Disappointed in the process and the outcome. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 01:30, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
    A "previous offender" is not automatically guilty of whatever you accuse him of. You have a history of wrongly reporting users for edit-warring, so it's quite comforting to know that you will not do so in the future. There is a very reliable source that lists the members of kungafamiljen, and if that source excludes someone (a living person!), we should absolutely not include that person - especially not if no source whatsoever is provided to back it up. You are obviously ignoring it, but I'll write it once again: blocks serve to prevent disruptive editing, not to give you (or anyone else) the satisfaction of seeing someone blocked.

    Comments:

    There is no such nationality as "Scottish". Andy Murray is British nationality, and the Misplaced Pages page even contradicts itself by defining him as "Scottish" alongside the summary box which states "Country: Great Britain". By repeatedly reverting the Scottish contradiction, I am being "edit warred" as much as I am "edit warring", except I am trying to amend to an internationally recognised nationality, as opposed to the future fantasy of the SNP. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cwcw182 (talkcontribs) 21:50, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

    Furthermore, please find the Misplaced Pages entry on British nationality: http://en.wikipedia.org/British_nationality_law. "Under the law in effect from 1 January 1983, a child born in the UK to a parent who is a British citizen or 'settled' in the UK is automatically a British citizen by birth". There is no Scottish nationality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cwcw182 (talkcontribs) 21:53, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

    • Result: Cwcw182 is warned to stop warring about the nationality of Andy Murray until he gets consensus on the talk page. A discussion in Talk:Andy Murray/Archive 12 suggests that there was consensus in 2010 to describe Andy Murray as Scottish. See WP:UKNATIONALS for more background. If you believe that consensus has changed, you should be able to get people on the Talk page to support you. So far there's no indication that they do. EdJohnston (talk) 21:28, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

    Can you provide any diff that I accused you of being a sock? However I did comment on this SPI a few minutes earlier which was started by another user on 10 June.--Zayeem 18:36, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
    Off course you clumped me other users you suspect of using a single purpose accounts on the AFD discussion so do you have amnesia? you do something them completely deny it. RameshJain9 (talk) 19:06, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
    • You all seem to have nothing better to do than to screw around, get on each others' nerves, and bloat an AfD with commentary. The SPA tag is warranted and I have restored it. The rest is a bunch of nonsense and namecalling; we can always start blocking one party for edit warring and the other for making false claims of vandalism. I'm going to close this before you all yell so loud that I have to block all of you. Drmies (talk) 00:04, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
    I've only reverted their removals of the SPA tags, nothing else. I never made any personal attacks (have asked Ramesh to provide a diff but he hasn't provide one).--Zayeem 08:01, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

    Comments:

    The other party in the war, Lori-m (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) contacted me on my talk page. I explained, gave some advice and gave both editors a 3RR warning on their page. User Obitauri just continued now. I think Lori-m understood the message. - DVdm (talk) 20:06, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

    I have notified both users about this report: and - DVdm (talk) 20:17, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

    Since the beginning of the article had information that the drink is of Armenian descent. Information was referring to authoritative sources in which it was written "Armenian origin." Then comes Obitauri, and says:"Matsoni is Georgian food not Armenian. Armenians just took it to their region and everyone knows its Georgian". He began to change in the article the word "Armenian" in the word "Georgian". He removed the word "Armenian" is not only the article, but from the citation of the source. In this article there are two sources that say the Armenian origin of the drink. They write, "Of Armenian origin" and "Matzoon or mazun, originating in Armenia". However Obitauri do not like and it changes the word "Armenian" to "Georgian" He then led the source and said that they speak of Georgian origin of the drink, but there is no mention of this. His sources do not speak of Georgian origin. Please look at all edits Obitauri since June 9. He broke a few rules Misplaced Pages. I told him this many times. However, he does not care. Please return the article to the version before the war edits.--Lori-m (talk) 22:09, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

    I talk about edits after you warned me. This edits are not breaking rules. I just wanted to fix conflict and see talk what I say: "Darra Goldstein. The Georgian Feast: The Vibrant Culture and Savory Food of the Republic of Georgia. University of California Press, 1999, p. 51

    http://books.google.ru/books?id=3PM_FnWgPBAC&pg=PA51&dq=%22Matsoni%22&hl=ru&sa=X&ei=NbHBUYC0FYv0sgbQmYHoDg&ved=0CDUQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=%22Matsoni%22&f=false This source totally says Georgian origin, which you said it doesnt.

    This totally shows its Georgian. "University of California Press", this is one of most reliable sources. We need to discuss both sources, which says Armenian and other which says Georgian as of this article became battlefield of editing... We need to check both sources... But before we must not say anything about origin in article cause we found 2 sources one says other, 2nd other thing we need to remove origin from article"

    Then I edited article and removed origin of this product cause its discussing right now, I shown Lori-m source he removed it before this edit warring. He removed several resources from this article which said it was Georgian just see history. I just wanted to fix this and did some mistakes in editing (such as changing sources). I fixed them now and just put new source. Here is problem which needs to be discussed: 1 source says that its Georgian, other says its Armenian. We need to find out which is true and if we cant, jsut leave like not writing origin like article looks like now. Do you understand me now? What did you gave reason of reporting me? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Obitauri (talkcontribs) 12:01, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

    This was not about sources, but about edit warring. I warned you that I would report you if you would edit along the same line again, so I did. Note that your source http://books.google.ru/books?id=3PM_FnWgPBAC&pg=PA51 talks about Georgian yogurt, from which you cannot infer that the thing originated in Georgia. See article talk page. - DVdm (talk) 13:47, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

    Comments: Silent Key has been reverted by different contributors, and asked per WP:BRD to discuss the matter.


    In my split of the "reactions" section I did not add or remove any content. And the categorization was not arbitrary - it had a clear, logical basis. The problem concerning Featherstone has been debated ad nauseum on the talk page by others. My intention was not to remove criticism from the lede - I believe in Widom-Larsen Theory but I'm still skeptical of the E-cat and Hotcat as I'm not yet satisfied that wireless power transmission into the device has been ruled out. Silent Key (talk) 13:07, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

    None of which is of any relevance to the fact that you chose to edit-war rather than discuss the issue on the talk page. AndyTheGrump (talk) 13:50, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

    On the one hand, I'll note that the first diff isn't technically a revert; it was, AFAICT, the first time that Silent Key (or anyone else) made or even suggested making that particular group of changes to the article. (Though there have been previous efforts by cold fusion proponents to remove criticism from the article's lede.) In other words, this isn't – quite – a bright-line four-revert violation of 3RR.

    On the other hand, Silent Key made his change and then reverted it back in three consecutive times in a span of just eleven minutes, using only the default 'undo' edit summaries. (The editors who reverted Silent Key's moedifications all provided at least brief explanations of their rationale and/or invitations to discuss on the article talk page, with explicit reference to WP:BRD.) Even in the absence of a fourth revert, this is an unambiguous instance of edit warring.

    It shouldn't be difficult, even for less-experienced or less-frequent editors, to realize that if they find themselves repeatedly mashing the 'undo' button without engaging in any discussion, they're approaching a situation in the wrong way. Silent Key is familiar with the article's talk page, having made a couple of edits to a discussion there less than two weeks ago. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 14:36, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

    • Blocked – for a period of 24 hours Though not technically a 3RR violation, I have blocked Silent Key for edit warring and disruptive behaviour. ItsZippy 15:04, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

    Note: Each of you is close to 10RR on this article. Can you explain why admins shouldn't block both of you for violating 3RR? Consider making a suggestion of how to resolve this. Or, promise to stop reverting until consensus is reached. EdJohnston (talk) 16:37, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

    (Non-administrator comment) IP 142.59.249.84 (blocked for editwar on same article) maybe a sock of the reported user.--Vigyanitalk 01:36, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

    • Blocked for 31 hours. The edit warring is clear. Also clear is the uncollegial tone and the attempts at bullying. Especially troubling is the talk page behavior, where conversation is taking place, their proposal is rejected (the last "oppose" is timed at 21:55), and yet they revert again (at 23:55) with some petulant commentary on the talk page and in edit summaries. The name indicates to which extent this account has a single purpose, but for now the edit warring is enough for a block. Drmies (talk) 01:48, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

    Comments:

    Note that the information on promotional runs was initially added in March, but the rearranging of the article did not occur until later creating its own section. The blanking and reverting of the section is what I have listed here. Also, this is the second case of edit warring on the same article between the same two users, with a previous edit war ongoing from March to May over photos (example Prisonermonkey diff, example Djflem diff). Users were also warned about edit warring for the earlier fiasco. (diff) Typical editing style of both users is to revert the article while at the same time arguing their case on the talk page.

    Disputes the disambiguation of pricing per MOS:CURRENCY; as he does not consider Australian or Canadian pricing to be notable, he constantly removes it, and then removes the USD marks because the article no longer, as a result, talks about any dollars other than American. I, and several others, dispute this because the PS4 is a world-centric article, and not U.S. centric. ViperSnake151  Talk  15:25, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

    • Comment To be honest, you're acting like a little bitch again. Yes, that person did violate 3RR rules which is not cool and there was a lil' bit of edit warring BUT that user stopped doing this even BEFORE you made a warning on his/her "Talk Page" and before you immediatelly put a notice here or started a new discussion on article's talk page. In the end the current version of PlayStation 4 does NOT contain any 3rd-world country's (like CA or AU) prices anymore, just as this reported editor was trying to do (although a little bit too aggressively with removal of "US" bit... but he/she stopped). A simple "Talk Page" warning would've sufficed unless the editor would've continued his/her behavior. Not the first time you do this pre-emptive WP:ABF shit and unfortunately not the last...
    Also, it appears that you have tried to use this edit warring to push your personal agenda against "price gouging in AU" or some other nonsense, as you have commented upon here and also in Edit Summary here. Quite an opportunistic piece of work you are... 173.68.110.16 (talk) 01:13, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

    Quite simply I am pissed off that this guy will not abide by policy, a tag ought to remain till such a time as the dispute is resolved, he reverts to his favoured version constantly and removes any tag added due to this. Darkness Shines (talk) 18:32, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

    Note: most of them, if not all, are far from reversals, let alone edit-warring. 24hours? Darkness Shines is pushing an agenda here. As his recent unblock condition he has accepted a voluntary restriction on reverting tags, that's the reason I think he is here. Check the history of the page. I can guarantee that my edits are good-faith contributions and I explained them in talk in detail. BUT DS feels if he thinks the page is non-neutral he can gut it unilaterally without any regard for the opinions of other involved editors. Mr T 18:37, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

    The user appears to be a newcomer and a non-native English speaker, but he/she seems to willfully refuse to learn and understand the policies and has a very strange sense of what consensus is, as evidenced by the talk page discussion and his/her user talk (87.2.112.110) --Nstrauss (talk) 22:15, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

    Another note, I have no reason to believe this person is sockpuppeting, but if he/she is going to be so disruptive from multiple IP addresses then it seems appropriate he/she should be required to create a login (and use it). --Nstrauss (talk) 22:31, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
