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.

Slow edit warring the peacock phrase "regarded as one of the greatest actors of all time" into Mammootty and Mammootty filmography.

They've been explicitly asked twice to stop doing this [1], the second time at great length [2] just a couple of days ago. Belbury (talk) 12:46, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

Endorse block: I was just starting a thread at WP:AN/I regarding this very issue. I am involved in the Mammootty topic, and thus can not act. However, if I were not involved, I would block for slow burn edit warring and refusal to engage on any article talk page or on their user talk page. They've done this six times and have been reverted by three different editors. The user is effectively insisting they are right, and everyone else is wrong. The last block was for 72 hours. I endorse that block, and endorse a new block at least for a week. --Hammersoft (talk) 12:57, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

No violation – there must be four or more reverts within a 24 hour period for the 3-Revert Rule to apply; the links you have provided do not meet these criteria. As noted. However, EggRoll, I think you're stretching number 5 there. I read it as applying to the allegedly copyvio material itself, not the notification templates. And to be fair there was a valid dispute as to whether the material was an actual copyvio. Once someone posted the link to the mirror site, you should have opened further discussion on the talk page.

UA0Volodymyr has received plenty of warnings already for disruptive editing and making edits in violation of WP:RUSUKR (while not extended-confirmed). After they became extended-confirmed today, they decided to return to those articles to resume edit warring. Mellk (talk) 13:01, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

Please stop deny and try to legalize Russian military aggression and occupation, even if Ukrainian or/and Crimean language(s) nominally listed as official in documents of occupational administrations and if we even list it in infobox those administrations they should be marked as they are. Stop playing along with Russian officialdom and start call things by their proper names - war is war, military aggression is military aggression, illegal seizing of territories by this is military occupation.

Comments: The user went to 3RR in the same day, then I started the talk page discussion, where their contribution was not constructive. They apparently have their own interpretation of WP:V which reads "If I see a text which I do not like and which is unsourced, I might remove it immediately without any attempts to source it, to check it validity, or even to mark it as unsourced first, and I will edit-war to death if people try to restore the text". Reminds me of some LTA, but I do not remember which one.

Ymblanter is, it seems to me, being deliberately disruptive. I removed some text which was badly written, trivial, and uncited. Ymblanter put it right back, exactly as it was. I removed it, again pointing out that it was incoherent and uncited. They said "correct, and you are welcome to cite it yourself. Since then, I have repeatedly pointed out to them that The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material. (emphasis as in the source page). They know this already, obviously - they are an administrator, and I do not believe any administrator could be so unfamiliar with one of the most important content policies. So why would an administrator who knows a policy do the exact opposite of what it says, and repeatedly restore unverifiable material to an article, without providing a reliable source? 80.3.192.137 (talk) 19:10, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

2. 22:41, 17 October 2023 (UTC) "/* Year-end charts */ I'm pretty tired of doing this, but hey, it seems like someone is trying to impose what they think is correct or not, I am dedicated to correcting data, and I'm going to please ask that instead of continuing to change my corrections. Whoever is doing that should look for better information, and see that in 1973 the best-selling album was Aladdin Sane, well, you don't have to be a genius to know that, well, I'm very serious, you don't have to question my work."
3. 16:19, 17 October 2023 (UTC) "In the Wikipedia article British Music in 1973, Aladdin Sane appears as the best-selling album of the year, in the section of all the top 1 albums in the United Kingdom, Aladdin Sane appears as the best-selling album of the year, please, whoever you are doing it, can you stop changing this? In 1973, Aladdin Sane was the best-selling album in the UK, not " Besides, it's logical, Elton's spent 11 weeks in the top 10, Bowie's 27 is a very big difference, but the fact is, whoever is doing it, STOP!"
