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.

Comments:

This article is sanctioned under the Syrian Civil War topic, allowing one revert per 24 hours.

• This user has a very long edit-warring record. In addition, the user resorts to personal attacks when their argument fails such as here, here, here, here, here and here, and here.
• This user removes mass amounts of sourced, relevant content because it simply goes against their POV (WP:IDONTLIKEIT). Examples are:
• Here, which is part of the complaint above
• Other pages: Here, here,
• Konli is edit-warring here, 4 reverts in less than 48 hours.
• This user uses fake edit-summaries to sneak in their significant changes to the meanings by simple tweaking such as this one and removal of sensitive words that fake/change/reverse the meaning (such as 'at most', 'no more than') or changing 'encourage' to 'allow', 'many' to 'some', etc.
• This user has tried to block every effort at reaching consensus on the page in question. Look at this message here to another (more reasonable, neutral) user on their side.
• This user was blocked back in June for edit-warring. It is about time for this user to see a topic ban or a definitive block given their constant disruptive behavior and sabotage of many articles. Thanks Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 22:10, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

That page was quiet for months until Konli17 returned from his long break and decided to push their POV. He changes Southern and eastern Turkey into Turkish Kurdistan, tries renaming every city in Northeastern Syria to its Kurdish name, constantly starts edit wars with other users, and manipulates sources to get them what they want him to say. Here's a recent example on the Hulusi Akar page of how he fakes content from sources: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12. This user is clearly WP:NOTHERE and is just here to push his agenda and should be blocked. Thepharoah17 (talk) 23:08, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Even a pro-Kurdish editor doesn't agree with his edits: 13 Thepharoah17 (talk) 02:10, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

One more example where Konli faked the content of al-Jazeera story that they used. Konli claimed: "in order to prevent the SDF linking Afrin Canton with the rest of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria". However, neither the page name (Shahba Canton) nor the other names (Afrin, Autonomous Administration) claimed were mentioned in that story. Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 02:59, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

There are other users who have witnessed the edit-warring behavior of this user. Is it appropriate to ping them or that would be considered canvassing? Thanks, Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 04:14, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

@EdJohnston: Could you please look into this case here? The page you protected has seen major vandalism by this user since it was partially-protected. Thanks, Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 06:38, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

A decision for this case is over due and the user in question is taking advantage of this by continuing their edit-warring. See what they call "clean-up! They have deleted half an article that is well-sourced (neutral, Western sources) and very relevant to the area in question. All this happened while an RfC is open and against advice on the Talk page by user @Sixula:. If all the edit-warring is not enough for an indef banning then the many personal attacks identified above should be the straw to do it. Thanks, Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 00:17, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi, the conflict between Konli and the other three could really use an admin looking into it. The complaining editors SD, Amr Ibn and ThePharoah17 have all shown a very surprising tolerance to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) which appears not to be on the radar of the Admins. SD and Amr Ibn, both wanted to move Syrian Kurdistan to Kurdish occupied regions of Syria in the midst of an Siege of Kobane by ISIL in 2015. The pinged admin EdJohnston closed the discussion at the time. ThePharoah17 has shown similar views after I have made that public just a few days ago arguing that the YPG is just a terrorist organization as ISIL. The YPG is only designated a terrorist organization by Turkey, and supported by a global coalition of 83 countries including the USA and most of the countries of the European Countries, which is formed specifically to fight ISIS. ISIL is probably the most designated terrorist organization in the world. That they now want to oust Konli17, who really improved many articles is not very Wikipedia. Amr Ibn and SD are also involved in a long edit war about the existence of Syrian Kurdistan, in which they deny its existence and dismiss any academic sources which mention a Syrian Kurdistan. The dispute is currently raging at the[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#User:عمرو_بن_كلثوم_and_Syrian_Kurdistan ANI] and also at an RfC at the Syrian Kurdistan Talk page.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 09:03, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

User:FleurDeOdile was previously blocked 72 hours in May for ownership behavior and edit warring. They have been reported here three times altogether. It is high time for them to respond and explain how they will handle these things in the future. EdJohnston (talk) 21:45, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

mario is the one who started it. the image stood there for a while until he started changing it FleurDeOdile 22:28, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

FleurDeOdile, should that give us confidence that you won't continue to edit war in the future to put your preferred photograph into articles? I suggest a one-week block of your account due to the long-term pattern of warring. There is no reason to believe you will stop this ownership behavior. Your talk page is full of other people complaining about this, going back to Fall 2019. EdJohnston (talk) 01:55, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Blocked – 5 days. Long term warring for more than a year. (Check out the complaint at User talk:FleurDeOdile#Lili image from May 2019 and other posts below it). Fleur has also been warned for insulting other users in their edit summaries. FleurDeOdile's reply above gives no reason to believe that anything will be different in the future. A previous 72-hour block in May, given for similar reasons, seems to have left their behavior unchanged. The present block could be lifted if the user will propose how they might do things differently from now on. Fleur's reply above seems unresponsive. EdJohnston (talk) 19:01, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

I am merely enforcing consensus within the article to wait till all sources call a state before listing it on the page, per WP:CRP. Admanny (talk) 00:15, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Per WP:IAR and WP:FATRAT, I see nothing wrong here. This Admanny guy just cannot bear the loss of his dear candidate.—SquidHomme ^(talk) 00:33, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Interesting enough when you broke 1RR twice, one when you added votes to Trump and one when you added votes to Biden. I'm clearly not siding with anyone, lest to say you called CNN "fake news", then Fox "fake news" as well. We follow a strict consensus where a handful of sources must call a state for it to appear in the infobox, and you are clearly not adhering to that. Also, would you really want to use IAR and FATRAT on a discretionary-sanctioned article? Admanny (talk) 00:55, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Firstly, I am improving the article by updating with what information I got my hands on, And when someone like you come to be an obstacle for the improvement of the article, I believe I must resort to WP:IAR as I am improving it, not vandalize it. Secondly, I wasn't aware of the consensus at the time nor the unusual 1RR instead of 3RR. Also, what's the problem with me calling CNN "fake news", then Fox "fake news" as you appear to care more for these words when it's my personal opinion and shouldn't be of your concern as I'm not adding any of those phrase into the article. I say you should respect another's personal view.—SquidHomme ^(talk) 01:11, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

I get that, but your improvements are going against the community consensus. Secondly, there's a big header on the editing page warning you of 1RR, I doubt you missed that. Lastly, your edit summaries go against WP:SUMMARYNO and could be interpreted as biased. Admanny (talk) 01:21, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

I get that, but your improvements are going against the community consensus. Have I told you that I wasn't aware of them at the time of the writing because it wasn't in place the last time I edited it? there's a big header on the editing page warning you of 1RR, I doubt you missed that. I also doubt you missed that when you reverted my edits and another user's edits more than once. your edit summaries go against WP:SUMMARYNO and could be interpreted as biased. It might be biased for you (I can see from all the hatred you've directed toward me), but not for others.—SquidHomme ^(talk) 01:37, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Have I told you that I wasn't aware of them at the time of the writing because it wasn't in place the last time I edited it? The banner has been there even before election night. If you had a problem with the edit, you would have participated in the [14] ongoing discussion instead of lashing out. Admanny (talk) 01:46, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

The banner has been there even before election night. If you had a problem with the edit, you would have participated in the [15] ongoing discussion instead of lashing out. I believe you're bright enough to notice that my edits precedes this discussion, right?—SquidHomme ^(talk) 01:54, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Actually the discussion started 4 and a half hours before your edits, and yes, thank you, I am bright enough. Admanny (talk) 01:58, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

And what? Is there any consensus I should follow? My edits precedes this discussion as there are no binding consensus produced as of yet regarding the inclusion of Georgia. Also, what's the point of a new discussion if there's a consensus in regard to how many "major networks" calling needed for a state to be included. And yeah, of course you're bright enough, boy. I agree :) —SquidHomme ^(talk) 02:11, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

The inclusion of Georgia, or any state for that matter, is based on a consensus of major networks and news sites that are pre-determined before election night. That's the consensus. Not sure why that's so hard to understand. Admanny (talk) 02:16, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

I'm also not sure what's your point by suggesting me joining the discussion when there's already a consensus regarding it. Is there a change in the consensus? Is the recent discussions about Georgia changes the consensus? Talk about your wit here.—SquidHomme ^(talk) 02:24, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

I think I mentioned it pretty clearly already. Your edits are 1. Outside consensus, 2. Breaks 1RR and 3. are edit-warring, since you don't bother the talk page discussion. A handful of shenanigans if you ask me. Admanny (talk) 02:30, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Your edits are 1. Outside consensus How many times should I say this for you to understand: I am not aware of the consensus AND 1RR an the time the edits went live. In regards of 1RR, don't forget that your edits broke 1RR too. you don't bother the talk page discussion Tell me, what's the use for me to join the talk page discussion if there's already a consensus? Also, do you have any proof of me edit warring? As far as I know, I reverted your edits, not actively editing it. I'm sure you're bright enough to tell the difference.—SquidHomme ^(talk) 02:54, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

I am not aware of the consensus AND 1RR an the time the edits went live. Good, that admits you missed the big banner on top of the editing page. Block worthy for that. don't forget that your edits broke 1RR too. Allowed per WP:CRP, just making sure consensus is followed. Also, do you have any proof of me edit warring? Sure, you repeatedly reverted without even having a word over at the talk page. I discussed, you didn't. WP:BRD cycle. Admanny (talk) 03:06, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

You seem too focused to get me blocked rather than improving the article. It figures. And it also appears that you have ignored WP:IAR and WP:FATRAT completely that in order to improve the article, some rules cannot be followed due to it being a drawback that keeps the article from being updated as soon as possible. I'm not stating that I don't respect the consensus on this page, but it prevents the article on getting new, updated numbers. Not because of questionable sources, in fact the sources are legit and verified. And the consensus itself didn't specify and list which major media outlets qualified to be the caller. My question is this: Is Newsmax, or OANN qualify as a 'major media outlet?'Block worthy for that. Ah yes, you ARE the judge, jury and executioner. Why bother bring me into this discussion, judge? Sure, you repeatedly reverted without even having a word over at the talk page. I discussed, you didn't. What word should I say, when the discussion is CLOSED because of the CONSENSUS has been reached? If there's an open discussion that will change the consensus once again, of course I'll take part in. So stop making false assumptions about me.—SquidHomme ^(talk) 04:21, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

You're welcome to participate at [16], so it's quite obvious discussion is not closed. You decided it's closed by not participating and rather reverting. Strange... Admanny (talk) 04:28, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

How come there's a CONSENSUS when the discussion is *obviously* NOT EVEN CLOSED??? Can you elaborate?—SquidHomme ^(talk) 04:32, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Prior consensus is decided. Discussion is underway to change that consensus. Please don't be dumb. Admanny (talk) 04:35, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Please don't be dumb. Oh no, I don't need to be you. I was talking about the consensus before this one, not this one. Not even a straw poll or voting exists in this one, just comments over comments.—SquidHomme ^(talk) 04:45, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Then pitch in to that one? That discussion is way old now, I'm doing you a favor by redirecting you to the current one. The fact you're blatantly refusing to even participate is astounding. Admanny (talk) 04:47, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

blatantly refusing to even participate? Which part of this discussion shows that I "blatantly refusing?" As I said, stop making false assumptions about me.—SquidHomme ^(talk) 05:05, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Any experienced editor knows the WP:BRD cycle pretty well. You're not discussing even after I invited you multiple times to, so I'd like to repeat myself, blatantly refusing to participate. Admanny (talk) 05:08, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

I find it funny, with your obsession to the word blatantly refusing to participate without even be able to point which of my word says that I'm blatantly refusing to participate in that discussion. Think about your wit here.—SquidHomme ^(talk) 05:14, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

I find it funny, that it took you so long to finally participate. What made you crack, if I can ask? Admanny (talk) 05:15, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

I participated LONG before your false accusation of me beingblatantly refusing to participate. Making me question your knowledge of WP:CIV.—SquidHomme ^(talk) 05:29, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Considering I see very little evidence of you participating in any discussion after going through the talk page's archives, I consider that highly unlikely. [17] Admanny (talk) 05:32, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Oh thanks, but I don't need fans to stalk me right now.—SquidHomme ^(talk) 05:35, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

User:Prcc27 can add additional details regarding the current consensus if required. Additionally, user has pointlessly counter-filed a report against me, when clearly both filer and reported user would be investigated with this report anyway. Admanny (talk) 01:01, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

I was pinged to this discussion, so I'm not really sure if my comment here will mean much per WP:CANVASS.. Although, FWIW, I saw this discussion in my watchlist before I even noticed it was in my notifications.

User has also made attacks towards other editors even on RfC discussion here and on talk page here against several editors. Admanny (talk) 22:00, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

I don't know why this user Admanny links a completely irrelevant and unrelated discussion into a discussion about 1RR rule. As for the "attacks," that is an RfC. A place where a user can vote and express the reasoning and personal opinion about things in matter. For that I don't think this user @Admanny: understood.—SquidHomme ^(talk) 22:53, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Also, I want to point out that this user Admanny's remarks: Please don't be dumb. here in this section, is also a form of personal attack against me.—SquidHomme ^(talk) 01:27, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Comments: In doing what he called "enforcing consensus within the article," this user has also breaking the rule itself by reverting it more than 2 times. Discretionary sanction applied to all editors who edit 2020 United States presidential election stated that an editor must not make more than one revert per 24 hours to this article. This user User:Admanny clearly violates the rules knowingly by reverting the article three times within 24 hours period, using the phrase "enforcing consensus within the article," as an excuse to justify the reverts.—SquidHomme ^(talk) 03:09, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Can I point out something here? WP:BRD's example states clearly that if someone makes a change and gets reverted, they should take it to the talk page. In every scenario, with a consensus that needs to be followed, I'm the "Editor 1". There's absolutely no reason why you need to accuse me of making up an excuse.

• Blocked – 31 hours. Long term warring to force inclusion of a graph that is opposed by many. User won't participate in the discussion about it on Talk. EdJohnston (talk) 15:03, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Repeated speedy tag blanking. FWIW, the page is still a copyright violation. Blablubbs ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:00, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for this notice. I am sorry for my actions. Trying to understand what's going on. It seems I got it all wrong. I was only trying to fix the issues. I also believe that "Speedy del" tag can be removed by any editor after dealing with the issues raised. I am so sorry. It wasn't intentional. I only tried to work on the page since the topic meets WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG. Pls forgive me. Mariah200 (talk) 18:23, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

I have a hard time believing the intentionality part; you were explicitly warned to stop edit warring in an edit summary, on your talk page – a message you responded to (and hence acknowledged) immediately before you blanked the tag again. And with all your reverts, the page still contained close paraphrasing and direct copying from the source page, something which you failed to acknowledge. Blablubbs ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:36, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Oh dear, I am so sorry oncemore. I didn't intend to engage in edit-warring. I thought I only removed the CSD tag having settled the copyvio issue on the page. Pls accept my apologies. I have learnt my lessons from this. Mariah200 (talk) 04:57, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Malformed EW case. The last edit from this IP was in September on the article Slave bible. Accused appears to be Addicted4517, though with no page being referred to it's not clear as to exactly which article they have allegedly edit warred on. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 14:26, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

I tried to fix up this report, guessing what the complaint was about. Besides being malformed, the report is stale. EdJohnston (talk) 15:29, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

• Result: Malformed report. Anyway, nobody has edited the article since 4 November so the report is stale for 3RR purposes. Consider using the article talk page to make your argument. EdJohnston (talk) 15:32, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

User violating WP:NPOV, WP:EW and WP:COMMONNAME by constantly attempting to force the term 'Arabian Gulf' onto the article, even though the term is not used in English and the majority of the world, and that's ignoring the fact that the article is even named Arab states of the Persian Gulf.

Comments: User:Edgekirov is a single-purpose account new editor who seems to believe a politician's Wikipedia article should not be changed while that politician is seeking selection / election. They have reverted all non-trivial changes, of which a 3rd party editor User:Jumpytoo stated "Content seems well cited and balanced" in this reinstate, since 2 September 2020‎, and has not engaged in any discussion on the article's Talk page despite invitations to do so in edit summaries and their Talk page. Rwendland (talk) 03:50, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

(Note: This is the first time I have had to engage in any formal dispute resolution, so please forgive me if I have chosen the wrong venue. As the user has not engaged in discussion guidance suggests neither WP:Third opinion nor WP:Dispute resolution noticeboard is appropriate. As Edgekirov has more than 4 edits (all reverts) so is autoconfirmed, semi-protection would not be useful. So I have ended up here. Rwendland (talk) 03:50, 16 November 2020 (UTC))

This is an article that is sanctioned under the Syrian Civil War theme (1RR). The user reported here has a long history of edit-warring, and there is another case open against them in the noticeboard. This user has an extremist nationalistic POV agenda they are trying to push in many articles, as witnessed in the other complaint. Look at their revert history and edit warring behavior that warranted many warnings and complaints by several users on their Talk page and related articles Talk pages. This user is not here to contribute positively,, but to push their POV through wherever they can. Thank you for your attention. Amr ibn Kulthoumعمرو بن كلثوم (talk) 17:24, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
