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 keeps adding gurage as "habesha people" but he has no rs..his rationale is or. Baboon43 (talk) 00:25, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

I wasn't aware that you can't revert back three times in 24 hours and i accept that i am wrong for doing that. However, my reverting was right i have provided a reliable source on his talk page .He is making an argument just because it is not worded exactly the way he wanted it.The source i have provided shows that gurage fits with the definition of habesha on the wiki page of "habesha people".He is asking for a source that words it exactly as he wants it.Gurage speak Semitic language(from geez,related to amharic and tigrinya) and also have an Axumite ancestry ( a wiki page).i can also provide other sources if needed.Johnnyleepeter (talk) 03:54, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

• Note. @Johnnyleepeter, it's commendable of you to take responsbility for your conduct, but, to be clear, you did not breach WP:3RR. And it's not 3 times in 24 hours, it's 4 times (more than 3). This is what we call a slow-burning edit war, meaning it is taking place over more than one day. Baboon43 should have made that clear in their terse comment. Not to mention that Baboon43 is as "guilty" of edit warring as you are. This content dispute should be resolved in the usual ways, and it's not clear that it should have been brought here at all, unless neither of you is capable of such resolution and continue to battle in the article, in which case both of you may be blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:35, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning:

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: The problem is in the addition of 2 words (most likely) to discredit some data. No discussion was conducted by me personally but the other user implicated in edit warring has invited him to talk - without success. At this moment, both users(User:Sutgol and User:Norden1990) have more than 6 reverts in 24 hours. I guess there is no point in making a separate report for User:Sutgol.

Comments:

I am reporting the violation of the 3RR, this user has reverted 6 times in the last 24 hours. Although this may also be an edit war, 3RR is violated with his reverts. The problem is the words "most likely" he tries to introduce. The stable version before this reverts did not have the "most likely" because this theory is accepted in academic circles. This version is established by a consensus between Romanian and Hungarian editors because this subject is sensitive to both this groups. User:Norden1990 tries to add controversial data to this article and disrupt this consensus. Adrian (talk) 13:38, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

I am pretty sure User:Sutgol belongs to a well known sock puppet master therefore this is not a serious case in my opinion. Moreover User:Norden1990's contribution to the article was not controversial. Fakirbakir (talk) 14:57, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

There is no SPI report, SPI admin comment, nothing. In this case the 3RR is valid. Also, this contribution is not controversial in your opinion... not in general. Adrian (talk) 15:03, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: User_talk:The_wind_or_breeze#July_2013

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: There are numerous discussions about the name versus caste issue and the BLP issue on the talk page, eg: Talk:List_of_Mudaliars#Criteria_for_inclusion, Talk:List_of_Mudaliars#So_what_is_this_list.3F and Talk:List_of_Mudaliars#Edit_request_on_7_July_2013

Comments:

There is a fundamental difficulty concerning this list, which purports to be a list of people bearing Mudaliar as a title rather than being members of the Mudaliar caste. There have been various discussions concerning this and also the implications for BLPs if associating a caste to a person, per the links given above.

The 3RR violator is clearly familiar with Misplaced Pages, pointing out my inadvertent rollback error (Twinkle was playing up an hour or so ago, as reported at WP:VPT) and stressing in their edit summaries that they would provide (primary) sources if only they could. It is clear from their edit summaries that they had read mine, hence their note about my lack of explanation. I pointed them to the talk page and to WP:BLP but they are intent on reinstating BLP violations and names of people that do not appear to bear the Mudaliar title. Alas, their talk page indicates that this is not a new issue. I've backed off before overstepping the 3RR rule but the BLP additions really do need removing again. - Sitush (talk) 15:13, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

Comments:

• Comment (from another editor, not the nominator): Major disruptive editor who has repeatedly ignored warnings on his and the article's Talk pages that uncited opinion is not allowed in Misplaced Pages articles and that removal of agreed-upon WP:RS sourced content is not allowed without consensus. Is bent on denying or deleting mention of a book written about Sri Chinmoy that is mentioned in that article's Controversy section. Has been in a massive continuing edit war about it with four different editors. Repeatedly completely removed the mention or gutted the mention and reposted his unsourced denial opinion about the book . In my opinion this apparent SPA really needs to be blocked or banned. Nearly his entire posting history is disruptive and non-constructive. Softlavender (talk) 02:27, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

I am not requesting a block. This is an new user who appears to have written his own biographical article and has made most of the mistakes that new users make. However, he has not been responsive to discussing how to improve the article and based on this (self-reverted) comment I don't think any additional communication from me is going to be effective. I'd like an uninvolved editor to step in and offer an opinion. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 02:08, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Update: Just added four more reverts above. At this point I'd consider the behavior disruptive. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 06:05, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

• Comment (not from nominator): The user has written (or in any case re-written or substantially contributed to) his own article, and needs to be given a COI warning and advised not to edit the article further, nor add information about himself or his books to other Misplaced Pages articles. He has apparently been notified of this yet is still continuing even now to edit his own article and add bloated info sourced only to his own website/blog. In my opinion, needs an out-and-out topic ban, plus a timed edit block because he is indeed edit-warring and not observing any sort of protocol or responding to Talk page messages/warnings.

Comments:
A user name Some guy and I have been engaging a edit war in the article List of Call of Duty characters. While the article does need a huge clean up and such, Some guy has been removing characters that did appeared on those games, which he said that they are unsourced. While I do admit that we need sources on those characters, they did appear on those games and some of them are important to the storyline of those games. We need to settle this before it becomes a 3RR problem for us. We also have a talk page about this issue here.

Let's see

1. 3RR hasn't been violated
2. BattleshipMan is trying to inhibit page maintenance. The material in question was deleted for a reason: the article has been tagged for several problems for over six months, has never been sourced, and there is no assertion the characters are notable. At this point the burden is on him to provide sources/demonstrate the material is notable enough for inclusion.
3. I left a note on the talk page about deleting the material several weeks before deleting it, and no one responded nor made any attempt to source the material
4. BattleshipMan's reasons for keeping the material are extremely weak and not supported by any Misplaced Pages policy. If he seriously intends to try to find sources, which we've seen no evidence of and is doubtful, he can restore any characters he can reliably demonstrate are important enough to keep in the article
5. BattleshipMan has repeatedly demonstrated an unwillingness or inability to understand and follow Misplaced Pages's policies
6. BattleshipMan is an extremely hardcore fan of the series and has repeatedly expressed opinions and editing behaviors in opposition to overwhelming community consensus
7. BattleshipMan seems to have poor English skills which might affect his competency as an editor

Overall I would say this notice is frivolous, although it's probably good he's drawing attention to the fact that he is reverting page maintenance for poor reasons. Some guy (talk) 08:21, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Xenophrenic has violated 1RR. Please review those two diffs and focus on the first seven words, "The Tea Party movement focuses on reform." He reverted the same content twice within 25 minutes. With the 1RR restriction, that all by itself is sufficient grounds for a block. There was some other content that was removed for a second time a few minutes later. This demonstrates that it wasn't a fluke or a mistake. Accordingly, since I was blocked for 24 hours for violating 1RR, in spite of my honest belief that I was removing a BLP violation, I respectfully suggest that Xenophrenic should be blocked for editwarring. His most recent block for editwarring was 48 hours in February, so this one should be longer. Phoenix and Winslow (talk) 13:38, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
