Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring

Welcome to the edit warring noticeboard
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.

I edited the lead section to make it more consistent with the boxing MOS by rearranging amateur and professional achievements and removing the countless unworthy mentions of International and Inter-Continental titles. User:Sweet Science Fan reverted the edits, as shown above, with no explanation. On the third revert User:Sweet Science Fan logged out in an attempt to bypass the 3RR. If you compare the contributions made by the User and the IP, it’s pretty clear it’s the same person. Apologies if I’ve made a mistake in the report. If so, please let me know how. ².O.^Boxing 22:58, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

Warned. On 2nd thought, I find that the warning was insufficient — "3RR" wasn't even linked in that edit summary, and at any case, a proper warning, like uw-3rr, should have been placed on the user's talk page. As well, I'm not sure they necessarily used the IP to evade 3RR. Maybe they accidentally logged out. El_C 03:54, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

IP is blanking sourced sections on the page, and adding unsourced, and probably defamatory content about living person even after multiple warnings issued. After restoring sourced contents, IP again started to remove information from page. No 3RR is violated but IP is doing edit war by again and again blanking sections. This can be considered as part of vandalism too. Harshil ^{want to talk?} 05:16, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: [26]

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: Talk page section

Comments:

Not a 3RR case, but the edit warring should be clear. The edits are all to the same paragraph and follow the same theme, which is "some conspiracy theories are true" (#1, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7) with a secondary focus on 'conspiracy theory' is a neutral term according to the dictionary" (#1, #2, #3, #7). The second one is written differently each time, but the first is always a specific edit that adds a qualification to the lead sentence, changing "are" to "seem" (with the reasoning being made explicit in the edit summaries, e.g. diff 1 - Just basic logic and semantics. Not ALL conspiracy theories are false... - but also half a dozen others not seen in the diff views due to each diff covering multiple edits).

At this point the changes have been opposed by 9 (arguably 10) different editors via either reverting or talk page comment, with nobody in support. Beyond the single talk page comment that incurred unanimous opposition, there have been no further attempts to discuss. Instead, the editor made yet another series of edits, so they clearly mean to continue trying to force the changes through. I also note that the single talk page comment includes the phrase "I'm not going to give up". Sunrise (talk) 05:38, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Update: Joseph Rowe has commented at the talk page again in response to this filing, saying they won’t pursue this further, so there’s probably no immediate threat of continuing disruption right now. That said, the way they said it was I give up for now (emphasis added), which sounds to me like they’re just planning to try again at some point. In particular they apparently continue to believe that their view is indisputably correct, as shown by the series of personal attacks (also at their user talk page here) where they attribute disagreement to stupidity (via Friedrich Schiller quote) and ulterior motives (an agenda of convincing people, etc). So I’m not sure what the best approach is here, and I leave it to the reviewing admins to determine. Sunrise (talk) 22:42, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Comment: Sunrise, if I knew how to do it (and cared to bother with it) I'd report YOU, for defamatory misrepresentation of me, claiming I made "personal attacks" ... I've never attacked any person, only their arguments. Yes, I quoted Schiller to indicate the stupidity of the insistence of this band of 9 or 10 missionaries who want to rewrite the dictionary. But I never said a single one of you is stupid... nor do I personally believe it... even intelligent people can get caught up in groupthink stupidity like this — the intellectual equivalent of a mob mentality. I confess I haven't been very polite in my refutations. But its hard to be polite when I'm faced by people who want to discredit me, or shut me up by any means possible, including falsely charging me with "personal attacks".Joseph Rowe (talk) 10:36, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

This is the third time when the user does edit warring with the same edit. One was a month ago (link 1 and link 2), when he was called to talk page.

• • What signs of bad intentions and warring does he have to show? Why should I warn him, when he expresses vandalism, on all kind of pages, when I already called him twice to talk page?

Violation of discretionary sanctions / WP:1RR. Edit history shows a non-neutral right-wing editing bias. A short block may educate. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:04, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Incorrect. My edit was a completely neutral correction to non-neutral left-wing bias in violation of WP:NPOV and WP:BIAS that presents an opinion as if it were fact. The offending statement claimed that a characterization of events by President Trump was "false." His statement was his own POV, and is unfalsifiable. It CANNOT be proven true of false. Thus labeling it as false violates WP standards. It is factual that he believes the inquiry is a coup. It is not factual that this statement is false, but rather someone else's opinion.

For example, saying "I like chocolate ice cream," is a FACT because it can be proven true or false. Saying "Chocolate ice cream tastes good," is an OPINION that cannot be proven true or false. Trump offered an OPINION from his POV that the inquiry is an attempted coup. It is simply not possible to derive facts proving this true or false.

The reversion was maliciously intended to maintain a non-neutral viewpoint in what should be a neutral and objective article. My removal of the word "falsely" left the opinions of the source intact and up to the reader to decide whether to share that opinion.

Left-wing editors are turning WP into a propaganda site and using reversions, non-existent consensus, biased non-authoritative opinion pieces as fact, discretionary restrictions, and WP sanctions to block anyone from correcting WP standard violations.

And THAT is a coup, in my opinion. Rmmiller44 (talk) 17:30, 29 October 2019 (UTC)rmmiller

Rmmiller44, Trump offered a falsehood, not an opinion, and we can call out falsehoods as such. This is not a "non-existent" consensus as it has been discussed on the talk page at length. You chose to violate 1RR and discretionary sanctions, which you were made of. Your defense is essentially to obfuscate and counterpunch. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:57, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Rmmiller44, your fellow editors have actually been quite patient with you. The page is actually under 1RR and discretionary sanctions, and they repeatedly tried to explain why your edit was inappropriate, to the point you got to 3RR. This is in addition to administrators and other users rather calmly talking to you on your talk page, and even offering advice on conduct and collegiality. Then it appears you attempted to get User:Beyond My Ken sanctioned using !adminhelp, claiming you were being attacked. Again, you were responded to in a rather patient and helpful manner by User:JamesBWatson, offering you VERY sound advice. Here, you state that their editing is part of a vast conspiracy based on their supposed political leanings, and a “coup”. The fundamental issue here is your intractable behaviour. NPOV doesn’t mean what you think it does. It means we reflect what reliable sources say, without undue equivocating or false balance. The subject of an article could believe purple elephants from space are controlling his/her mind. Hell, it may even be true. But if RS say it’s false, so do we. You need to spend some time cooling your heels, and learning how this works. Symmachus Auxiliarus (talk) 18:21, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

It is common knowledge that Islamic caliphates governed by Salafists had invaded and occupied Greece, Spain, Portugal and much of eastern Europe and Italy between the 13th and 19th centuries. Efforts by western European nations to regain independence from Islamic imperialistic caliphates and prevent further invasion cannot be described as "western imperialism"."

How can restoring policies from a thousand years prior, which persisted throughout the Ottoman Empire, be a response to Western anything? The Ottomans joined the Germans in invading Europe and lost. How is that European Imperialism? Salafism is Islam in its original form, and Islam has always gravitated toward it by nature. Where there's Islam, there's Salafism."

I've also reverted 3 times, plus one edit to try and help them by replacing a picture for them which they had also objected to the removal of by another editor - but all while trying to explain on the user's talk page why they needed to discuss adding content which 3 other users had told them they disagree with. Their latest response is "I told you many times... Firstly you check many celebrities wiki page, then you remove the content.... I will add this things... I made this page and you hell come to remove this things.... Better don't remove and show rules... You need to know the rule first... See other wiki pages have this things...not one many pages. You remove first from that page... Ten i will stop putting in it" [39] - so I don't think they intend to stop reverting every time their content is removed and they are asked to discuss, but I won't revert again, so they have stopped now with their content in place.
