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.

User:50.187.63.48 reported by User:Jytdog (Result: No violation)

Previous version reverted to: diff (with no spamlink or reference to "Equipoise") or this with brandname but no spamlink.

Diffs of the user's reverts:

diff 02:51, 8 March 2017, reverted by Edgar181
diff 13:40, 3 April 2017 reverted again by Edgar181
diff 6 April 2017, reverted by me
diff 28 April 2017, reverted by me, after which I added sourced well-sourced content, here
diff 28 April 2017,

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: No need, they are aware from prior interaction at a different drug article. See this warning they gave me.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: See discussion at my Talk page here.

Comments:

Editor is adding link to steroids.com, an obvious spam link, originally claiming that article "must" reference this brand name. But the last diff has no justification there, as the brand name was there. This appears to be just aggressive spamming. Note, there was a similar interaction with this editor spamming a bad source to get a brand name into WP at GW501516. Jytdog (talk) 19:58, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

This is by no means an edit war from my part. I provided different references when requested, while reverting in good faith user Jytdog reversions in question. The reference sources I chose were random and yet sufficient to prove the existence of the common trade names in question. I have no vested interest in those sources. Furthermore, user Jytdog incorporated my contribution into his edit, providing a spammy "drugs.com" instead, an eyeballs catching website that pushes advertising, as his reference. On the other hand, user Jytdog keeps reverting editors' contributions with no explanation, akin to vandalism. If anything, his action constitute the edit warring. I am satisfied by now that Jytdog's final edits incorporated my contribution, albeit with a low quality reference. Therefore I will not pursue a revert of his last revert. 50.187.63.48 (talk) 20:38, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

No violation - 3RR was not violated, but the question of whether to include a trade name in an article is subject to editor consensus. When an article keeps going back and forth with no discussion on article talk it suggests a need for full protection. EdJohnston (talk) 21:29, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

PLease note

Although, there has been no formal violation of 3RR, reported editor is edit-warring in an AA2-DS article against multiple editors, pushing a strong POV.

Edit-warring in an article covered under WP:AA2 DS. Edit-warring disruption without addressing points on talkpage and without consensus. Dr. K. 11:25, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

Not blocked, but I did place the article under 1RR/consensus required, so if they continue to reinstate the material without getting consensus on the talk page they may be blocked as an arbitration enforcement action. Ks0stm 17:25, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

Thank you Ks0stm. That was an excellent idea. Dr. K. 17:51, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

This is taking place on 4 separate articles related to the same song. User's edits have also been reverted by another user before my involvement. User has a history of ownership on pages from Universal Music, particularly the Ariana Grande pages. Kellymoat (talk) 16:03, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

I have shown multiple source on talk page to explain my edits but Kellymoat refused to discuss and completely deleted my edits (containing my edits which are not about the song). I have pinged other users to discuss about the issue. --U990467 (talk) 16:10, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
