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.

Time reported: 10:41, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
- Previous version reverted to: 10:38, 24 August 2008
Initial reverts, which resulted in being blocked for 24 hours on 20 August 2008 and for 1 week on 22 August 2008.
Now the same user is using the IP address 84.81.151.103 to delete major parts of the article. There is not much doubt that it is still the same person as can be seen in the discussion on the article's talk page. He insists that his version, which is very much lacking WP:NPOV has to be kept or the page will be "blanked". For violating NPOV see also comment by user Themfromspace here.

- Blocked the IP editor 84.81.151.103 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). I hope that this article doesn't come back here in a new 3RR report until all the associated WP:BLP issues are properly discussed on the article Talk. EdJohnston (talk) 22:28, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
- I hope so, too. This editor or his apparent sockpuppet just told me on my talk page that he will continue to delete this material unless he is allowed to insert his controversial BLP information. So I told him again that he first has to discuss the issue on the article's talk page and try to reach a consensus. Fingers crossed that he will act accordingly this time. At least he does not add the controversial material at the moment. (Jamesbeat (talk) 22:45, 24 August 2008 (UTC))

- Diff of 3RR warning: 13:36, 24 August 2008
This isn't a widespread edit war, it's limited to one editor that doesn't seem to understand what goes in a lead. Based on the sockpuppeting, I think both the named account and 128.103.142.23 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) need a block.

- Blocked – for a period of 72 hours To match the duration of the block most recently given to User:Swamilive. If sockpuppetry could be conclusively shown then a longer block of the IP might be justified. The only purpose in life of this IP account seems to be to undo redirects created by Delicious carbuncle and others. EdJohnston (talk) 22:10, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

- Diff of 3RR warning: 14.10 August 25 As the user is a sock-puppet of banned troll MagdelenaDiArco, he is very well aware of the rules.
- Firstly, can you pleast stop using personal attackos. Secondly, no, all of those were not "reverts", since if you actually checked the diffs, you would see I was not simply restoring the same version, but trying to add more sources each time. Therefore, it is not a break of the rule. 78.149.202.191 (talk) 14:00, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

- Seems to be more edit-warring at Maltese language. I am a neutral observer and can't really comment on the issues, but something seems to be going wrong with the editing process here. — Alan✉ 15:08, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
- Alan is right, the same user is also edit warring extensively on Maltese language, with over 10 edits today. Yes, the user makes cosmetic changes when reverting, but the main message is still there, being reverted all the time. Please note that the reported user most likely is the same as the IP who posted the lie above about "the article now being stabilized". Both IPs have performed exactly the same reversions, and using another to post false comments to help the account being reported is an old trick used by MagdelenaDiArco, making me even more convinced that we are dealing with multiple sock-puppets. JdeJ (talk) 16:12, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
- Not sure why I bothered, but I did post a block warning after 15 reverts on Maltese language. I will block the IP myself if this continues. kwami (talk) 19:58, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

All dates are August 25. He since even replied to the 3RR warning given to him and continued to revert regardless. Only 4 reverts were listed in the report although he did a lot more by the definition "undoing the actions of another editor" on the same article within 24 hours. Hobartimus (talk) 18:58, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, he made five reverts. I recommended this user to revert himself back, which would help him to avoid sanctions (he seems to be a newcomer). Unfortunately, he interpreted my recommendation as a "threat" and apparently made 5th revert to prove his point.Biophys (talk) 19:50, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
- Also note that the text repeatedly inserted by Anatoly.bourov was a copyright violation - please compare with the original reference. So, whoever reverted him was not a "vandal" but enforced WP policies.Biophys (talk) 20:38, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

- Comment This appears to be a disruptive, bad-faith report. This is largely a cut and paste of Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/3RR#User:216.211.57.63_reported_by_Delicious_carbuncle_.28Result:_72_hours.29, which I filed yesterday in relation to these same articles. I've left pointers to the WP:MUSIC guideline all over the place, but the IPs reverting are not using edit summaries or discussing their reverts of valid redirects. It would great if someone could step in here and bring an end to this. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 21:27, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
- See also Wikipedia:Suspected_sock_puppets/Swamilive, in which Swamilive admits to being the IP blocked for 3RR yesterday, plus the IP reverting the redirects in this particular case. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 13:23, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

- Diff of 3RR warning: 22:30, 25 August 2008
- This isn't strictly 4 reverts in 24 hours but the spirit is what matters. This is the same content and 5 reverts of it, despite discussion on the talk page. Subject is clearly aware of the 3RR and seems to be intending to skirt it deliberately. His response to my 3RR warning above wasn't really civil but also gave me the distinct impression he was intending to push the content reversion rules to the limit. Protonk (talk) 03:40, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
- I came here to report this user as well. Note that this user has been previously blocked for a 3RR violation on this page before. He knows better than to strictly break 3RR but he has reverted three different editors against significant consensus. Oren0 (talk) 03:43, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
- I've redacted the lengthy discussion here (see oldid 234364547 if you care about it) and am protecting the page for a week due to edit warring. Stifle (talk) 15:07, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
- This user edit warred to get his version, and then you protect the page and don't subject the user to anything? What the hell kind of logic is that, it certainly doesn't send the right message to anyone that wishes to edit war. Arzel (talk) 16:46, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
- See m:The Wrong Version. If AzureFury won't discuss, then the page will be unprotected and an edit war will most likely start up again. To avoid this recurring situation, let's just stick with resolving the dispute on the talk page. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 17:18, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

User first edited as IP address in same dynamic range to repeatedly insert non-consensus change. After reversions by various editors, user created an account, TimWhiskas, to try to evade the 3RR violation, and continued to edit war. Moreover, edit comments contain taunts about trying to get other users to 3RR first (presumably because we wouldn't notice the user is the IP address).
- I have blocked the user for 31 hours per WP:3RR. I also recommended that the user change his username, as its clearly a parody of user:TimVickers. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 19:53, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

- Comment: I added information in italics to the above report. The first, 2nd and 4th revert remove the word "account" and resplace it with "theory". The 3rd revert is arguably a revert because it removes the phrase "led to the collapse of the Twin Towers", although it replaces it with the similar phrase "the collapse of both Twin Towers was caused by" earlier in the sentence. VegitaU did 3 reverts during the same time period. Coppertwig (talk) 02:06, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

I suspect that a fourth revert was by the same ANON given the language used in the explanation found here, but I cannot be absolutely positive; the area from where the edit generates is the same, but not an identical computer. The ANON as been warned on their discussion page and in the reverts of their edits in the article. If the language were not so obviously POV, I would not have reported it. --Storm Rider (talk) 02:03, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
