Welcome to the edit warring noticeboard | ||
---|---|---|
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 You can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.
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.
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.

- 5th revert: 15:28, 30 July 2008
- Diff of 3RR warning: 30 July 2008
- 3RR is breached with four reverts being made within the span of 24 hours. El_C 10:55, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
- If anyone should be warned about violating at least the spirit of 3RR, it's User:Reallmmablogger. I tried to clean up Charley Belanger and he continually reverts it with no reason given. I try to talk to him about this and all I get is an answer like this [1]. In fact, I'm pretty sure he violated 3RR:
- 1st revert: 16:10 August 3rd
- 2nd revert: 19:57 August 3rd
- 3rd revert: 20:14 August 3rd.
MKil (talk) 11:03, 4 August 2008 (UTC)MKil
- I agree; that's not acceptable. El_C 11:08, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
- I should not be the one to get any warning we have been going back and fourth on this issue. I have tried to come to an agreement. Mkil does not want to come to an agreement. The information I have provided for the article is important for the article. Obviously this user has friends on here trying to help him out in this dispute. What reason did he give to undo changes? The reason was he did not agree with the information. The information is fact and non of it can be disputed. I have opened this to get a non biased opinion from users that truly care about Wikipedia. Reallmmablogger (talk) 15:05, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
- The reason I undid your reversion of my work is that I took your list and wrote an article using the information. That's an improvement of the article and there was no longer any need to have those lists on it. You didn't like that I touched your article and reverted all my work. You did the same on Young Corbett II.MKil (talk) 15:42, 4 August 2008 (UTC)MKil
- As for the unwillingness to work well with others. I would love to work with a fellow editor who truly cares about what he is editing. The links he has provided proves my case showing that he has been following my edits and harassing me. The link that he put is not even from me. If you click on it it shows this message = My chess club (and its not mine anymore, never was) could easily destroy your mafia, tons of perverts with no feelings, robots, the undead! I am glad once in your pathetic life you feel sorry! And that's a lie in itself! But manners you will never learn! Contradiction is your name! And stop violation other rules. Oxymoronic perfect term for you! Just keep on playing mr ip user from IS X-Originating-IP: [162.84.41.179]
That message has nothing to do with me he is purposely trying to sabotage me for some reason. Can someone please realize this. The one below is also another disagreement where he thinks his article is better and I think mine is also. I also tried to come to an agreement but he did not want to. [6] Reallmmablogger (talk) 15:25, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
As far as this goes He keeps on stating that Mike Tyson should not have an information about the Wrestelmania he referred for I tried to explain that to him. in a nice manner. I also did not like the one he wrote to me. Which states below
As far as the Tyson Wrestlemania incident goes, I removed it because it is a very trivial event in Tyson's career and giving that much space to it in the Tyson article is ridiculous. Wiki is not here to be a comprehensive biography. It should not catalog every little event in someone's life.MKil (talk) 15:27, 30 July 2008 (UTC)MKil [7] Reallmmablogger (talk) 15:25, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
My answer to him specifically states great reason why this needed to be in Mike Tyson's article [8] Reallmmablogger (talk) 15:25, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
As for [9] Not only did he keep on editing my article he even edited the aricle by user:Amalthea on the issue. Even though user:Amalthea had resolved the issue between the aarticle. So what does he want things his way or no way there is no resolution with him. Reallmmablogger (talk) 15:25, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

- Diff of 3RR warning: 09:32, 25 July 2008 and 20:51, 28 July 2008 and 00:16, 30 July 2008 and repeated blocks for breaking the 3RR rule and block evasion by socking.
The same user editing from slightly different IP's. All IP's traced to the same location (RUSSIAN FEDERATION, MOSCOW, ISP: ST.PETERSBURG TELEPHONE NETWORK - check here).
User was blocked for 12 hours [10] for breaking the 3RR rule here [11] then he was blocked for 24 hours [12] for block evading and also breaking the 3RR rule by reverting under yet more socks [13]. Then user was blocked again for 3 days [14] and article was semi-protected for block evasion by socking again and breaking the 3RR yet again, making an incredible 11 reverts in 24 hours.[15]
User has been repeatedly blocked for violating the 3RR and block evading. Now he has made 5 reverts just after being released from his block yet again, clearly showing he doesn't care about policies. Can the article be indefinitely semi-protected this time as he will no doubt use socks to block avade again and the article is subject to heavy vandalism since coming off a 6 month semi-protection recently, and a longer block for smashing through the 3RR rule yet again right after coming off a block for this, and after repeated warnings and blocks within the last week.--Miyokan (talk) 01:53, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

- Blocked 24 hours. However, Karanacs, please keep in mind that being stubborn and argumentative is not considered vandalism and therefore you were not exempt from 3RR when reverting his edits. If need be, seek dispute resolution in cases like these instead of contributing to the edit war. Kafziel Complaint Department 18:11, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Nominating editor blocked – for a period of 24 hours Both parties have edited warred but Vitilsky issued a warning on his own talk page, and then promptly reverted again himself. Adoniscik has not reverted since the warning and, because it was on Vitilsky's talk page, there is no proof that he has seen it. I have posted a warning at Adoniscik's talk page instead.
