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.

Comments:
This user (alongwith myself) were banned from editing Rishabhanatha for edit warring. The said user is constantly changing images (and engaging in edit wars) without discussing. Other pages where this user has possibly engaged in edit wars are Ajitnatha and Sumatinatha. I stopped engaging in edit wars after learning about the 3RR, but I see this user engaging in edit wars with other users constantly on some specific pages. ParvatPrakash (talk) 23:53, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
No violation. Bbb23 (talk) 00:50, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- The said user keeps undoing edits by other users. They were warned and blocked from an article just a few days ago. They are continuing to edit war on Abhinandananatha. I thought 3RR was the only rule. Does there exist a policy I'm unaware of? ParvatPrakash (talk) 01:37, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- ParvatPrakash, Bbb23 is likely referring to the three-reverts-per-24-hours rule, also known as "3RR". However, independently of that rule, the policy against edit warring prohibits more than just exceeding three reverts in 24 hours. Continuing to edit war after an edit warring block, for example, is clearly an issue. I have blocked Be Jain and Rahulpalawat indefinitely for now. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:42, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oh ok, I understand that now. Thank you very much for explaining the policy. I'll keep that in mind in future. ParvatPrakash (talk) 01:58, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Comments: Editor has been edit warring in a controversy section in a historical biography with very blatant POV statements being made in their edit summaries (which probably also violate WP:BLP for the history professor they're talking about) and have been reverted by multiple editors (including myself). They were given a 3RR warning and reverted again ten minutes later, as shown in the final diff given above, with their edit summary threatening that they will take the warring to other parts of the article if they keep getting reverted.

Comments: Worth noting that Bluerules has previously been blocked for 3RR, but it has been over a decade apparently. I wouldn't have reported it given they state no intention to continue, but they deny violating 3RR, so here we are. —Locke Cole • t • c 03:49, 28 July 2024 (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 is often the case here, "making an edit and then reverting to it three times in 24 hours" has been conflated with "making the same revert four times in 24 hours". If they continue this behavior, that might be different, but they have not yet and say they will not further revert. (I'd also note that the "previous version" you linked to when warning them they had violated 3RR (which they couldn't have with that edit as it was two days before that first one) was by another editor). Daniel Case (talk) 05:32, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- I will be adding a CTOPS notice per WP:CT/CID to the talk page. Daniel Case (talk) 05:38, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Daniel Case The previous version had the infobox contents as Bluerules reverted it back to. I was not stating any other editor had reverted it, only that this was how the infobox had appeared just two days ago, so all four edits by Bluerules provided as diffs above are, in fact, "reverts" per WP:3RR:
The term "revert" is defined as any edit ... that reverses or undoes the actions of other editors, in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material, and whether performed using undo, rollback, or done so completely manually.
In this case, the first revert was a "manual" revert (in part
), while subsequent reverts utilized Undo. The edit he was reverting/undoing was this edit (2024-07-25T09:32:21). The only temporal requirement of 3RR is the reverts themselves, and all four occurred within a 24 hour span. —Locke Cole • t • c 06:37, 28 July 2024 (UTC)- The previous version did not have the same infobox contents as my first edit. The previous version has a note in the starring parameter that reads, "Per credits billing order on the theatrical poster. Do not change until it can be changed to the film's actual credits order." In my edit, the note in the starring parameter reads, "Per billing block." The previous version does not identify the location of the David H. Koch Theater in the starring parameter. In my edit, the starring parameter identifies the David H. Koch Theater as being in NYC. The gross parameter is empty in the previous version. In my edit, the gross parameter contains information about how much money the film has made at the box office so far. And there's a minor punctuation difference in the note about 20th Century Studios not being a production company or a distributor. These differences make it clear that my edit was not how the infobox appeared just two days ago. Help:Reverting defines a partial reversion as "restoring one part of the page to a previous version" and my edit did not restore the starring parameter to a previous version, let alone the entire infobox. Bluerules (talk) 14:08, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Bluerules, this is not about help page wording; Locke Cole, this shouldn't be about technicalities.
- Yes, Special:Diff/1237062304 is arguably a revert of Special:Diff/1236553654. No, the 3.5 reverts didn't lead to a block. Bluerules was edit warring, which is not limited to violations of the three-revert rule, and the main reason why I dislike even evaluating whether there has been a 3RR violation is that people start arguing about completely unnecessary details in such discussions. Bluerules has stopped edit warring, removing the preventative need for a block. If it continues, that would be different. It doesn't matter whether it continues within 24 hours.
- This is closed and can be archived; content discussion is currently active at Talk:Deadpool & Wolverine § The starring parameter of the infobox. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 15:41, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
