    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:

    In the past couple of days I have also had to revert edits by this user such as removal of project tags from an article talk page, changing the name in an infobox against established consensus on the talk page, and removal of an AfD notice while the discussion was still open. --Michig (talk) 22:04, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

    How about this: both of you stop reverting each other and discuss these changes. Michig, you have been just as active a participant in these edit wars as Djjazzyb has. Based on the history of Tanya Stephens, you could both easily be blocked for edit warring. --Chris (talk) 22:15, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
    You should probably acquaint yourself with our policy on biographies of living people - the Tanya Stephens article is a BLP and the removal of reliably sourced information and its replacement with unsourced and poorly sourced information is not something for debate. In the Eminem article I reverted once in line with the guidelines for the template, so how am I edit-warring on that article exactly? --Michig (talk) 22:25, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
    OK, 1st, Tanya Stephens' real name is Stephenson, I have provided numerous references, checked the inlays for her CDs, hell I talked to her personally through facebook, it cannot be disputed. 2nd, The Eminem logo, how come you're not having a go at User:fijipeace? After he did the same to the Game (rapper) article, that made me want to do it to some articles to. That said, I have already resolved this matter with User:Walter Görlitz on the Skillet (band) page. So, honestly is there any real problem here? Or are you just finding flaws with nothing at all? That's all I've got to say on the matter for now. I'm out. K. (talk) 00:52, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
    Michig, BLP tends to focus more on contentious material, especially negative or controversial. While Djjazzyb's version of the article was not very well sourced, I have a very hard time believing that all of the added material was contentious. It certainly did not warrant a war between his edits and the stub. Effort would have been better spent helping look for better sources. --Chris (talk) 04:46, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
    user:Djjazzyb has other problems here. Kerfuffler (talk) 00:58, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
    • Blocked – for a period of 24 hours. I blocked Djjazzyb because they clearly exceeded 3RR. However, I think there are some competency issues that need to be addressed as well. Michig, your one comment on the article talk page was helpful, but I think more could have been done to educate Djjazzyb. I understand it might not have been successful, but it would have been good to try. Perhaps you can tackle that after the block expires or even leave a note on the editor's talk page during the block.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:14, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
    I must say that Djjazzyb's initial reaction to the block doesn't bode well for the future.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:19, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
    Nor his second. Kerfuffler (talk) 01:32, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
    Sorry, I suppose I'm the only person to get pissed off and go reckless, right? K. (talk) 01:07, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

    Comments:

    User:FurrySings has tried to WP:CENSOR United States Senate election in Massachusetts, 2012 by removing well-cited material that is unfavorable to Elizabeth Warren without a consensus. The user has stated on the article's talk page that he/she will continue to remove this material without a consensus, even though he/she has not proven that this material violates any policy. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 07:20, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

    User being reported: Lassoboy (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

    Following a recent altercation, the article is presently identical to the version dated 12:53, 6 September 2012.

    Within the last few hours, I issued warnings to J.P.Rallizgard and Lassoboy regarding the continuation of the dispute and the possibility of preventative blocks.

    Previous entries at Talk:Dangerous World Tour and User talk:J.P.Rallizgard suggest that Lassoboy did not attempt to resolve the dispute with their counterpart directly prior to reporting at WP:ANI, and demonstrate Lassoboy's presumption of ownership of specific articles, including Dangerous World Tour. Whatever the individual faults of a contributor, I don't believe that anything merits this sort of incivility: 'If you are going to fuck up these articles again, I will write to the moderators and ask them to block you from Misplaced Pages', which establishes the antagonistic nature of the numerous full and partial reversions in the subsequent months.

    Comments:

    After the initial report of edit warring at WP:ANI, I determined that the involvement of Lassoboy and J.P.Rallizgard in the dispute is recent and merits intervention. Their previous encounters suggest a long-standing pattern of reversion and edit warring, especially where Lassoboy infringed the WP:3RR on multiple occasions during August. Mephistophelian (talk) 11:32, 9 September 2012 (UTC).

    I am sorry for being so tyrant, but it was at the time necessary, because this user violated this article in my eyes. There have been numerous other edits from other users, but I have agreed with these, because these were constructive edits. So, in overall, I think I have been fair in editing this article. And it was completely impossible to communicate with this user. He/She has never answered to my letters. Period. Lassoboy (talk) 13:11, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
    I herein admit that I am not the author of this article and not the guard of this article. I am just an editor, who next time will try to be a little bit more polite in my actions. And I hope that J.P.Rallizgard will not do no more unnecessary, meaningless and pointless edits in the future. Lassoboy (talk) 13:26, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
    • No violation; the first three diffs are consecutive, so count as one revert. Same with the last two. The two in the middle also are, but they are from the other editor in the dispute and so wouldn't count for this report anyway. Note to the parties: Do be careful. No blocks are called for now, but continuing this way could result in blocks. Please talk it out and pursue dispute resolution as needed. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 11:21, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

    Added the 5th revert. The IP is decidely past the bright line, and had been quite properly warned as well. His edit summary of Please I have been following this with great interest and you are wrong seems to adequately show the problem. Other addresses likely include 91.50.184.173 and 77.241.200.126 as making congruent edits. Seems to be European - and likely a person who travels in Eastern Europe a bit.

    • 1st revert: this is reinserting info that was previously removed a few days ago. In fact, we discussed this on the talk page, and a look at it shows only Jokks supports putting it in, while no one else does - there isn't consensus to put it back in. He didn't bother to even comment on the talk page about it...
    • 2nd revert: (reinserts this and other info after I removed it today) and this nonsensical revert
    • Article is under ARBPIA, 1RR.


    Look at his contributions/user talk page history - he has extensive dealings in the area.

    Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: - as mentioned above, despite not having consensus to put it back in, he simply ignored the talk page and put it in a few days later, without even commenting on the talk page.

    Comments:

    Activism, I don't think your reason for reverting in the edit summary, "Btselem is POV and can't be used unless mentioned in RS", is valid. See Misplaced Pages:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_61#Reliability_of_Israeli_human_rights_organization_B.27Tselem (although note the editor there, Stellarkid, is a long term sockpuppeteer who was previously involved in the CAMERA campaign in Misplaced Pages). My understanding is that B'tselem is an RS with attribution, like Human Rights Watch or the IDF. Jokkmokks-Goran seems to be trying to build the article. It is not entirely clear why you aren't helping him. Sean.hoyland - talk 20:53, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

    I'm more than happy with discussing this further on the talk page of that article. Note though that Jokks also reinserted previously removed content for which there was an open discussion on the talk page without any consensus to put it back in, and after I removed it for that reason, reinserted it again, which is really the main reason I'm here. --Activism1234 20:56, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
    This is irrelevant, because it's not a content dispute but rather a clear breach of 1RR.--Shrike (talk)/WP:RX 20:59, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
    Activism, yes, it would have been better if he didn't do that. He should have continued to discuss it, but you must know that running straight here will reduce your chance of collaboration, which will ultimately damage the article. Shrike, it's not irrelevant that there is a dispute where an editor is unable to build an article based on RS and another editor feels it's necessary to file a 1RR report because they are not getting collaboration on the talk page. We're supposed to build articles but it's becoming increasingly difficult in the topic area. Sean.hoyland - talk 21:32, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
    Activism1234 has repeated deleted all information concerning Israeli plans for and actual destruction of Palestinian houses in Hebron. I believe that this is highly relevant for the subject of the article. The material has reliable Israeli sources. He has not given any real reason why it should not be included.
    I didn’t notice that this was one of the things Activism1234 deleted. The other things he deleted were new additions to the article that had never been there before and therefore not “reverts” as I understand the term.
    He deleted two quotes from a report by B’Tselem on the pretext that it’s not a RS. He then also deleted the source. But this B’Tselem report had been included as a source in the article for a long time, supporting the additional claim that Hebron was subjected to a full six months of curfew.
    Then he deleted American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee’s reaction to the statements made by Powell and Annan in the “International reactions” section. I see no reason to exclude it. Activism1234 also gave no reason for this deletion.
    Then he changed the term “fighter from Hamas” to “Hamas militant” claiming that the former implied glorification of this person. I don’t think this is a particularly important point. But I believe that “fighter” is more neutral than “militant” and therefore more appropriate in Misplaced Pages.
    I made a rash decision and I am therefore guilty of violating the 1RR rule, at least technically. For that I’m sorry and I promise to be more careful next time. I’m also prepared to take my punishment for this.
    It is however apparent that me and Activism1234 cannot solve our differences on our own. He is pushing his political agenda very strongly. I feel Activism1234 does not seriously discuss the issues on the talk page. He repeatedly comes up with his own interpretations of events but never supply any sources backing this interpretation.
    His idea is that any information that he disapproves of, however well-sourced, should stay out of the article until we “reach consensus”. But that will never happen. We need the help of a third party. Jokkmokks-Goran (talk) 18:57, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
    if it was a rash decision, and you truly regret it, why don't you simply go to that article and undo your last edit? — Preceding unsigned comment added by They think it's all over (talkcontribs) 20:00, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
    Maybe I should have but I didn't realize my mistake until I was reported here. By then it would probably be seen as a hypocritical gesture. I am sorry for violating the 1RR rule. But I will continue trying to have the section included in the future. Without violating rules. Jokkmokks-Goran (talk) 20:23, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
    I think it would actually work in your favor. I've seen a number of these reports closed with no adverse effect on the violator when they simply said "sorry, I've undone my violation and won't do it again". — Preceding unsigned comment added by They think it's all over (talkcontribs) 20:28, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

    It started when I added the a link of the relevant peace treaty to the lead of the article. E4024, removed it immediately (1st and 2nd rv), although it was sourced. As a compromise I've added the same information not in the lead but in the main text, but in vain (3rd rv). During the following hours, while I initiated a discussion in the talk page, E4024 performed the 4rth rv (partially reverted a recent addition in another section) and then a 5th rv (again partial revert of a recent addition I've made). In general E4024 displays an aggresive behavior, by reverting (entirely or partially) imediattely any kind of addition made in the article in a variety of sections (typical wp:own). For example a proposal I've made in the discussion ] was answered by this ].

    Although he appears to 'battle' alone against various users, (] being advised by another user to reconsider) for an unknown reasons he insist that my edits appear to be vandalim ].

    E4024, displayed battleground acitivity in the past too ], but it appears, as noted, that he isn't making progress.Alexikoua (talk) 22:31, 9 September 2012 (UTC)


    I am really surprised by this. My many contributions and other interactions show that I am only trying to contribute to the improving of WP. Recalling a case from my very first days in WP is not relevant. In the present claim, the accuser shows that he is not aware of the difference between "edits" and "reverts". I have even corrected his/her spelling mistakes and that edit of mine has been added to my "list of reverts" by the said party. Anybody that will read the discussion page of the relevant article will see that I have been trying to help the user to understand the procedure of international treaty making (the main point of difference between us) but all my efforts were in vain. (His/her attitude may be qualified as "I am not hearing you.") Best regards to all. --E4024 (talk) 22:55, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
    • I'm not seeing a lot of evidence that this is sanctionable edit warring, rather, it looks like a lot of unrelated content removals. While I'll grant that the 3RR doesn't require all reverts to be the same, I just don't see a case this being edit warring worth sanctioning. Will leave this up in case any other admins want to give a second opinion. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 11:33, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
    Sorry? A partial revert is still a revert. According to the definition of 3rr: "whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert" so, we have clearly a 3rr in this case (5 rvs in less than 12h). Morevoer, there is still extreme wp:own activity and disruption as E4024 insist to invite other user to his "short history lessons and lectures".Alexikoua (talk) 13:10, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

    This case is also beein discussed here. I don't know what to do after CartoonDiablo denial to answer my arguments? . Now it goes about a POV-Button. Is CD allowed to do everything?
    In fact CDs editing is highley POV and obviously wrong. His only argument is to hide behind Weasel Words and 3RR. Thats insolent and not only by CD! Did it goes about 3RR or well sourced and correct informations? I as author of 3 featured articles in german WP have never seen such a proceed is successful. But in this case it seems so. No discussion but still get supported so he can continue with the proceed. --WSC 23:53, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

    Just tell me why you are agains a simple POV-Button? Your only argument is the editwar and it needs 2 useres at the minimum to have an editwar. This hyding after 3rr in this case not violated or WAR, by refusal a discussion AND a POV-Button is the worst violation of the five pillars I have ever seen in WP.

    Because there is no POV dispute, that was solved and your problems were explained in it weeks ago. We have both repeatedly told you that even prior to you being banned. The only person who thinks there is a POV dispute is you. But aside from that, you continue to edit war without abiding by WP:BRD and discussing the issue. CartoonDiablo (talk) 01:44, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
    How many users did it take to have an POV dispute? Futher, you continue to edit war too. At the last time it was me, rooky violating the 3rr. Luck of the draw. You just spread allegations. Do you think the Admins arn't abele to read and proof the tings your false pretences? --WSC 04:49, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
    The question isn't how many, it's the fact that you edit war without abiding by WP:BRD and don't do the actual process for appealing a dispute resolution consensus. I don't know how many times me and Still-standing reverted but you are continuing to revert after being banned for it. CartoonDiablo (talk) 05:15, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
    Blocked – 1 week for long-term edit warring about cognitive behavioral therapy and psychoanalysis. It was clarified by the last blocking admin here that WSC's last block was for warring which included a 3RR violation at Cognitive behavioral therapy. Two admins (Bagumba and Swarm) reviewed the last block and declined to lift it. Amazingly, this dispute has already been through WP:DRN which came up with a result, which WSC still won't accept. (He is concerned about the relative effectiveness of psychoanalysis and cognitive behavioral therapy. He continues to add POV tags at both articles. As he said at Talk:Cognitive behavioral therapy#POV-Warning on August 30, "I insist, to set one of these POV-warning boxes into the article, till these table is erased.") WSC's block log on the German Misplaced Pages is here. In November 2011 he was blocked for six months on de:wp. EdJohnston (talk) 05:38, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

    • These are the identical edits involving the addition of promotion for an aftermarket conversion company and a spam link to it, as done by Martin Blaney. The result was that the user was blocked yesterday: here
    • The same edits were also performed today and yesterday under the following user names: 174.146.45.181 (once), 174.146.122.245 (twice), 184.234.155.140 (once), 70.233.132.43 (once) - most likely meaning that this is sockpuppetry.

    Ceaseless edit-warring across multiple articles connected with Rand. IP will not discuss or take no for an answer. Personal attacks as well against other editors. Δρ.Κ.  04:18, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

    Concur, multiple examples of disruptive behaviour, aggressive comments and edit summaries, refusal to use the talk page etc. ----Snowded 04:22, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
    To be precise, the IP editor has engaged in discussion on user talk pages. Unfortunately, the "discussion" consists entirely of variations on the IP editor saying, "I'm right so stop your abusive removal of my changes", accompanied by another revert. See the IP's talk page, or here, or here, or here. --RL0919 (talk) 04:28, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

    Comments: I think it's clear enough that the IP is involved that I'm including it in the report. Note especially use of all CAPS in edit summaries and the fact that the only two articles the IP has edited are the ones that Z554 was edit warring over earlier. I forgot to mention that for good measure, there's canvassing:

    This report seems malformed. The fourth claimed revert is a revert by Darkness Shines not by FPAS. Mathsci (talk) 18:01, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

    Sorry, I am in a bit of pain. Fixed. Facts, not fiction (talk) 18:08, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
    (edit conflict) In addition Darkness Shines seems to have been tag teaming with JCAla. Mathsci (talk) 18:09, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
    The 4th revert is well outside 24 hours, pain or otherwise. What is the point of reports like this? Mathsci (talk) 18:11, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
    Er,. the fact that he is edit warring? And refuses point blank to discuss. Facts, not fiction (talk) 18:12, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
    And I would not call 53 minutes "well outside2 And do not make accusations of tag teaming. Facts, not fiction (talk) 18:14, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
    He is not edit warring. It is your editing and that of JCAla that seems to be the problem here, although I have not looked at the content issue. Please watch out for WP:BOOMERANG. The first edit was made at 9:13 (am) on 10 September; the 4th was made at 18:53 (pm) on 11 September. Not so hard to see far more than 24 hours between those edits, is it? Mathsci (talk) 18:23, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
    • I don't see vandalism or BLP violations so FutPerf needs to hit the talk page, where there is a decided lack of discussion going on except a single comment by Darkness Shines/F,nf. Summaries are pretty aggressive, but not over the line. I don't see a need for action at this given time, but had I independently stumbled across the article, I would be tempted to full protect it for a few days and force it onto the talk page, and may yet if it continues.

    • Diff of warning: here
    • Comment. Editor appears to be at approximately 12RR in 36 hours, despite a warning on his talk page (linked above) at about 9RR, and appears to have no intention of stopping. (I've tried to remove the less relevant edits from the above list, but the original was very long indeed.) The IP against whom he was mostly edit-warring, has already been blocked. The IP in question was removing content apparently based on a belief (right or wrong) that it infringed BLP. Under sporadic discussion at the article's talk page and WP:BLPN. I have not edited the article.
