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.

User:TDN:92 and IP:117.6.92.136 (possibly an IP sock) have been edit-warring the results of this and various other First Indochina War and Vietnam War battles. I referred this to discussion of the Talk page which has been fruitless. Mztourist (talk) 05:01, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

See also WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Dino nam. I am almost at the point of indeffing TDN92 as a sock of Dino nam based on behavior, but now that there is an SPI, let's see what happens there. EdJohnston (talk) 17:15, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

• Result: Deferring to the SPI. If this editor continues to revert and the SPI isn't resolved, post on my talk page and maybe something can be done. EdJohnston (talk) 01:12, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:

Comments:

• Just read my edit summaries, which the OP has refused to do. (S)he also required me to provide a citation when the transcription was unsourced to begin with. Mr KEBAB (talk) 16:18, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
  • I did no such thing. Provide diffs of your claims. Softlavender (talk) 16:20, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
    • , , Mr KEBAB (talk) 16:23, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
      • The first diff is not me; the second and third diffs prove your claim is false. Softlavender (talk) 16:28, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
        • Fair enough, but that doesn't change much. It still means you didn't read my edit summaries. Mr KEBAB (talk) 16:30, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
          • Provide diffs or other proof to substantiate that ad hominem claim. Softlavender (talk) 16:33, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
            • I think I'll quit this pointless discussion. Mr KEBAB (talk) 16:34, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
• For what it's worth, when the comment <!-- Do not change this without a source --> was added to the article, the vowel was already Template:IPA-de. It appears it was changed to Template:IPA-de by an IP, probably inadvertently, as their summary explains other changes in the edit but not the one to the first vowel. So I doubt those who reverted Mr KEBAB had any grounding, but Mr KEBAB also could have certainly handled it in a more respectful manner. Nardog (talk) 16:39, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
• I must also note that the fourth diff provided by the reporter is not a revert, just a removal of a comment telling people not to edit something already unsourced without providing a source. This strikes me as an WP:OWNERSHIP issue on the part of the two who reverted Mr KEBAB's edit. They reverted it simply because it was a change to something that stood in a featured article for very long, without examining the validity of his edit, which they could have done by simply clicking the notation and reading Help:IPA/Standard German. But Mr KEBAB also could have and should have spared passive-agressive or uncivil comments in summaries on his talk and continued trying to get his point across, such as quoting or pointing to the relevant part of the help page, initiating a conversation on the talk, or citing an external source like Duden. Nardog (talk) 17:01, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
  • Please read WP:3RR. "An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page—whether involving the same or different material—within a 24-hour period. An edit or a series of consecutive edits that undoes other editors' actions—whether in whole or in part—counts as a revert." (underscoring mine) Softlavender (talk) 17:07, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
    • Well, if it weren't him someone should have removed such a silly comment a long time ago, if you ask me. Nardog (talk) 17:10, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
      • He was warned about 3RR but made a fourth revert anyway. That's a 3RR violation. Softlavender (talk) 17:14, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
        • I didn't revert anyone but removed an inappropriate hidden message. Mr KEBAB (talk) 17:17, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
          • Please read WP:3RR. "An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page—whether involving the same or different material—within a 24-hour period. An edit or a series of consecutive edits that undoes other editors' actions—whether in whole or in part—counts as a revert." (underscoring mine) Softlavender (talk) 17:19, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Has Nardog's edit resolved the dispute? --NeilN 18:25, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

• Result: No action. This war may have stopped. Report again if it continues. EdJohnston (talk) 01:09, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

4 reverts ~12 hours. User warned in edit summary here and in discussion here. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:48, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

I replied to BHG here multiple times. She hasn't even tried to rebutt me or taken it to WikiProject Baseball as I told her. She comes here instead. That says alot....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 00:53, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

William, I tried to have a discussion with you per WP:BRD. You kept on reverting, so naturally I came here to get you to stop. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:58, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

You haven't responded once to my rebuttal or gone to WikiProject baseball. Again you come here to bully. What does that say about you. Your edit summaries here and here use the word silliness. What does that unnecessary word saw about you? I can point out another instance of you trying to bully or mock me. So when are you going to WikiProject Baseball's talk page?...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 01:08, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

William, I replied to you twice, but you kept on reverting. That silliness is why you are here. Which part of WP:3RR is unclear to you? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:41, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Restoring BLP violating criminal material. Subject made one unsuccessful run for public office so is unlikely to be a public figure, thus this violates WP:BLPCRIME. Even if the subject is considered well-known, the one source does not pass WP:WELLKNOWN. The editor has made no attempt to respond to the article talk page or user talk page posts.

The source is just a police blotter report of an arrest, with no mention of any trial or conviction. Meters (talk) 01:18, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
