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
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.

I know this may seem a little ridiculous, but this guy keeps edit warring with Sinebot. It added his sig to a comment, and he keeps removing, even after people have asked him not to do so. — Foofighter20x (talk) 03:02, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
- This one is a toughey! But his comments do seem to be overly aggressive anyway. I'll leave him a welcome message and ask him if he'd like any help, and I'll leave a gentle note about the four tildes. ScarianCall me Pat! 03:55, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, I've left a welcome temp. and a note. Hopefully AGF'll solve this one. I wouldn't want to block or prot, obviously, as this guy is clearly relatively new. Message me if he comes back again. ScarianCall me Pat! 04:00, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm in the middle of what is on track to be a pretty epic edit war. I've been going through some categories and tagging something things for references and deleting unsourced material. At some point Spotfixer objected to what I was doing and started reverting my edits. I then left him a few messages and changed most of them back then he left me some messages and and re-reverted the most of the edits. We're probably both at fault here to some extent I'd just like to preempt an all-out edit war, clarify as to the legitimacy of the edits and move on. - Schrandit (talk) 16:04, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, Schrandit has been engaging in wholesale violations of NPOV by attacking any article that goes against his conservative religious beliefs. He's abusing the citation request mechanism and generally showing extreme bias. I am proud of the corrections I made and will continue to make them. However, I have no edit-warred so far and will not begin to do so, either. Spotfixer (talk) 16:17, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- Everything that I removed had been tagged as unsourced for a reasonable amount of time and was removed in accordance with WP: Unsourced material. Leave my religion out of this. - Schrandit (talk) 16:22, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- I will if you will. Your editing has been religiously motivated. Spotfixer (talk) 16:37, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- Do you know me chief? Do you know anything about what motivates me? - Schrandit (talk) 16:42, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

- Diff of 3RR warning: [52] The user was recently blocked for 3RR violation and gaming the 3RR system.[53]
- Bukubku clearly has acknowledged the 3RR rule given this.[54] This whole edit warrning was initiated by Bukuku because he has misused WP:Primary sources without confirmation procedures by disputers and disregarded WP:Consensus. He has also deliberately inserted WP:Original research and blanking information anything unfavorable for his taste. More problem is that he also has inserted the same unconfirmed sources to other related articles Joseon Dynasty, House of Yi, Miura Goro, Woo Jang-choon and others. Some of his such malpractices can be seen at Talk:Woo Jang-choon#Don't delete " {"{fact}"}" and "<"references /">" . Talk:Woo Jang-choon#Bukubku's blanked contents / requested inline citations. Thus, he has tried to rewrite history to divert the blame of the assassination of Empress Myeongseong. Also he has mispresented book and web sources to other articles such as Talk:Imo Incident#Massacre and No Original research. This kind of practices is extremely harmful to our project; building the constructive encyclopedia. Since his latest block does not change him a bit, a longer block would prevent this ongoing disruption. --Caspian blue 16:23, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for poor English.
Though Historiographer know that there are Korean assassins, he say "Most of them are Japanese." and delete "Koreans"[58] or add only "Japanese"[59]. Therefore, it seem that there are only Japanese assassins. It is POV. And he reduce number of Koreans who are related to the assassination[60]. It is unfair.--NAZONAZO (talk) 19:13, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Zara1709 self report(Result: 12 hours)
- Page: Adolf Hitler
- User: Zara1709 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
Attention, Cynicism: I've done everything I could, but it just isn't enough. A historian has written a controversial, but good book about Religion in Nazi Germany, where it is among many other things pointed out that Hitler can be classified as "nominally Catholic". This is explain in a great detail on Talk:Adolf Hitler. Of course, to paraphrase that historian himself, that Hitler as the world-historical metaphor for human evil and wickedness should in some way have been a member of a Christian Church can be regarded by many only as unthinkable, but it is fact. I patiently and, I hope, skilfully, explained this to the editors who removed it repeatedly from the article, but I have not achieved anything. Accurate scholarship can unearth the whole offense from Luther until no that has driven a culture mad; find what occurred at Linz, what huge image made a psychopathic god, but Wikipedia will not be able to present the result of this scholarship. Steigmann-Gall certainly is a reliable source on Nazism and Religion, and I can not leave the last edit summary comment standing as it is. I know that it is likely that I might get banned for formally breaking the 3-revert-rule, but I have to revert. (Zara1709 (talk) 21:09, 29 December 2008 (UTC))
Blocked – for a period of 12 hours Since this editor reported himself here at the noticeboard, no 3RR warning is needed. I think any admin should unblock him if he agrees to wait for a Talk page consensus before restoring the claim about Hitler's Catholicism to the article.

Talk:Meet_the_Press#Edit_warring_in_the_intro Three editors, User:Warren, myself User:Gerardw, and User:Bwilkins agreed "Meet The Press" the correct title and the first 2 of us provided references.

This all started with a question I had for User:Bwilkins about a comment he had made to WT:NCSP. Instead of answering my question, he assumed bad faith and simply removed the comment. I reverted that decision and added another comment telling him to just answer my question and to stop removing my comments. He went right back and reverted my comments, assisting that I am not good enough to have my comments on that page. Instead, he tried to deflect it back at me by trying to put it on my talk page. He went right back to reverting my contributions as vandalism no matter how many times I tried to reason with him about the situation. I am currently talking to him on my talk page, but that is besides the matter. He thinks that I am a vandal no matter how I try to reason with him, which is being impeded by the fact that he doesn't even want to talk to my on his talk page.

- His conduct is incredibly rude, but reversions within your own userspace are exempt from revert limitations as a general rule. It isn't a 3RR issue, but it certainly isn't very polite. --B (talk) 21:24, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, but it is his user talk page though. The exception (unless I am reading it wrong) would cover his userpage and subpages. Tavix (talk) 21:27, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) Well, reverting your comments as vandalism is not very appropriate of course. However, the policy says:
“Reverting edits to your own user space, provided that doing so does not restore copyright or non-free content criteria violations, libelous material or biased, unsourced, or poorly sourced controversial material about living persons.”
- Therefore I don't think this is a violation of the 3RR. Perhaps it's better to take this to WP:AN or WP:AN/I? — Aitias // discussion 21:28, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

I have attempted in good faith to caution the user about the quality of his edits, here, here, and here. Unfortunately, he has rejected my pleas and has escalated matters to include personal attacks here, here, here, and here
Many thanks for your help.

Ed Fitzgerald reported by DreamGuy (Result: 24 hours)
- Page: Casablanca (film) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- User: Ed Fitzgerald (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
This one is easy -- pull up the history of Casablanca (film) and you'll see a whole long list of edits by User:Ed Fitzgerald in the past day and a half. Every single edit of his excepting one (where he says "adding to alleviate "undue weight" concerns") has been a revert back to a previous version. He has summarily full reverted every edit of four separate editors (three of them have been working on three different parts of the article, and I have agreed with all of them). The reverts happen so quickly that people trying to undo his reverting get lost even trying to figure out which one should be reverted to. Now I can't restore User:Fifpasshix and/or User:Clarityfiend 's edits without undoing User:2005's edits -- would need to open them all up and take the various changed parts out by hand and merge them again.
No official warning given until most recent edit comment by 2005, but Ed Fitzgerald has been around since 2005 (the year, not the editor) and surely must know about 3RR policy by now.
I'd give separate diffs but his reverts aren't a simple one and one of the previous, but older ones skipping over intermediary edits (also reverts) are difficult to provide links for, as you can't just pick the last link. But his edit comments make it clear that they are reverts. I also don't know which 24 hour period to select, but he's got 'nine reverts in less than 48 hours, so it's pretty clear cut.

- Slow edit-war over what was originally a spammed link, added 11:47, 16 December 2008 by Aestheteka
- Previous version reverted to: 19:38, 18 December 2008
- 1st revert: 06:01, 29 December 2008
- 2nd revert: 06:23, 29 December 2008 At this point, two editors had removed the link. His edit summary is, "I read the linked article. It is thoughtful, and concerns Thunder, Perfect Mind. It is a relevant external link. If you remove this again, I may report you to WP:ANI)"
- At this point, the three editors begin discussing the matter on the article talk page.
- 3rd revert: 21:35, 31 December 2008 With the other two editors arguing against the link on the talk page, he reverts it again with the edit summary, "Revert personal vendetta against another user. See talk" This is what caught my attention in my watchlist, so I stepped in to try to deescalate the situation.
- In response to my effort to deescalate the incivil edit-warring [115], Timeshifter has assumed bad faith on my part and threatens to continue edit warring writing, "I will return the link in a few days when you two have cooled off." [116]

Ronz (talk) 23:48, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
- There is some history between us. Please see this diff: [117]. I have not done 3RR, and have no intention of doing so. Please see also the discussion in context: Talk:The Thunder, Perfect Mind#Aestheteka. I have this problem once a year it seems with Ronz. See WP:Wikihounding. He acts alone, or sometimes tag teams with another spam-fighter, concerning some external link that he notices has been spammed by some newbie with a WP:COI. I then add the link myself and Ronz or another spam fighter gets mixed up about Wikipedia guidelines, and thinks I am spamming the link too. Neither of the spam fighters have usually done any editing of the article in question previously. So they mostly ignore or badmouth the merits of the link, or wikilawyer about guidelines until they wear out the regular editors of an article. Since they don't really care about the content of the article I can usually come back days, weeks, or months later, and add the link if it is a good external link. Some external links are bad, and I don't add them. If they continue to give me a hard time I don't add the link. Even if it is a good link. --Timeshifter (talk) 00:34, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
- I'm sorry to see that Timeshifter holds grudges, and uses them as excuses for his misbehavior. Looking at his talk page history, I see that my last discussion with him there was over a year and half ago, over his edit warring 21:31, 18 June 2007 . --Ronz (talk) 00:40, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
