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.

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning:

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: I informed User:TYSK that he shouldn't replace active referenced links in Google Domains with ones that are non-english on an English Misplaced Pages page and that if the references no longer worked he should have either used notification and/or provide an archived link from the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, their response was that the links were outdated and were replaced with ones in German, I again informed him that it is not proper to use non-english references on English Misplaced Pages but he again reverted my edits in violation of the 3RR rule. The fact is that the references worked and under Misplaced Pages rules should not be removed. Additionally, on my talk page in the Edit Summary they accused me of being a vandal.

Comments:

Page protected for a period of one week. Please start using the article talk page, both of you. El_C 16:08, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

Is it possible to rollback the page so that the original English references are used, it still shows the German references which as previously discussed should not be used. YborCityJohn (talk) 16:22, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for the result. The article was no longer up to date and I brought it up to date, so new sources were needed. The old sources would not have been related to the new information. But CityJohn doesnt understand this.--TYSK (talk) 16:26, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

I created this page a while about a week ago Claire Hafner. User:Squared.Circle.Boxing starts making edits removing half of the citations of the page, removing notable information and and reverting edits multiple times. We are now in an editing war.--Bennyaha (talk) 03:53, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

Edits corrected errors that contradict WP:BOXING/MOS: Notable wins or opponents should not be included in the lead section, as that does not represent a concise overview of the article; it does not present a neutral point of view; and there is no objective way to determine what makes a victory notable; Also states only top ten rankins from The Ring, ESPN, TBRB and BoxRec to be mentioned in lead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Squared.Circle.Boxing (talk • contribs) 04:10, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

User:bennyaha also seems to think because New Zealand use the dmy format, it should also be used on a page for an American-Canadian individual, instead of mdy, as is standard in America and most common for English speaking Canadians. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Squared.Circle.Boxing (talk • contribs) 04:18, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

Declined – malformed report. Please use the "Click here to create a new report" link at the top of this page, which gives a template report, and provide complete diffs.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:22, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

Won't discuss consensus. This was a snarky comment to me, it's like Yup, I keep undoing your edits for my own gain, that's how it works. I did say to John that London was unsourced but tells me New content requires consensus. No word as of later 101.176.22.6 (talk) 22:14, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

Warned. You need four not three reverts to violate 3RR, IP. Although the onus is on you to gain consensus for the edit which you are introducing — John, you also have an obligation to provide a citation for an unsourced item that you are restoring. El_C 22:24, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

I'll keep that *4*th revert in check for next time El_C. 101.176.22.6 (talk) 22:30, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

No violation. Only three reverts, by each user — you need four to violate 3RR. And the user reported is invoking the BLP exemption, anyway. El_C 23:37, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

Blocked – for a period of one week, OP. That 4th revert on the OP's part resulted in them having exceeded 3RR. El_C 23:52, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

Comments:

I began a tautological edit of "Underground tunnel" amongst other tautological edits. Along the way I learned some things, however out of the blue, Incnis Mrsi interjected himself in a conversation I was having about rollercoasters tunnels, suggesting I had an "agenda" and assuming in bad faith that I was somehow a "stalker". Incnis Mrsi, quickly wikihounded me on three unrelated articles (listed above). They reverted three of my edits without supplying a reason, only linking back to my rollercoaster talk page discussion. I reverted after reviewing each of his reverts and determined my edits were perfectly fine. Incnis Mrsi then supplied two sources for two of the articles. I reviewed the articles and they made no specific mention as claimed, so I reverted. Another revert followed from Incnis Mrsi, stating no reason other than to stop edit warring. I would like to point out that the language used was incendiary as noted by a previous discussion (Personal attack removed) less than a month ago Leitmotiv (talk) 19:57, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

Warned — Page protected for a period of one week. Reported user has exceeded 3RR (by about an hour), but since discussion is taking place on the article talk page, I'll err on the side of leniency. But Incnis Mrsi is strongly cautioned against edit warring and especially to the point where 3RR is breached. Any further violations would result in a block whose length will be especially extended. El_C 20:09, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

Leitmotiv also exceeded 3RR: https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Gun-type_fission_weapon&action=history&offset=201910131920&limit=8. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 20:24, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
