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 You can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.
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.

Because neither has reverted since receiving the warnings you gave, I'm going to leave this one alone for now, but feel free to bug me if they start again (within a reasonable timeframe, of course), and I'll revise my decision.

Part of long term pattern of edit warring on this article (see article history), including personal attacks in edit summaries and repeatedly replacing reliably sourced material with unreliable sources. See Personal comments and reliable sources warning on user's talk page. User normally avoids a technical violation of the 3RR, reverting daily but usually not 4 times in a day.

- Diff of 3RR warning: 02:32, July 14, 2008
Comments: The Fethullah Gülen article has been a perennial trouble spot, subject to severe sockpuppetting over the past few years. This is just the most recent example. Given that this user's very first logged-in edit was a request for peer review, and that this is the only article this user edits, I suspect this is the return of a previous long-term violator. I have no checkuser evidence to support that statement, but it seems like a good bet to me. Nandesuka (talk) 03:38, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Arianewiki1 is now being disruptive. I've provided a comprehensive explanation of the corrections on the talk page, but Arianewiki1 has not sought to resolve the issues on the talk page, rather reverting without explantion.

This user has been readding a "cultural references" section that grossly violates WP:OR and has accused his reverters of vandalism and trolling in his edit summaries. Also, upon noticing the closeness of the report and his edit, Popups shows the warning was made exactly sixty seconds before his last revert, and I doubt it took him that long to hit the undo button. Someguy1221 (talk) 04:31, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Basically, User:War and User:Proxy User have been engaged in a very long-running revert/edit war about whether this organization should be called a "club" or a "gang". Both consider the others' edits to be vandalism and revert as such. I left a 3RR warning on the talk pages of both users, as well as requesting a cease fire on the talk page. War has ceased, at least since my 3RR warning; Proxy User has deleted the warning from his page, accused me of attacking him and showing bias, stated on the Banditos Talk page that he would not comply, and has edited/reverted since the warning. Note his block log shows previous blocks for disruptive behavior.

Comment: Please note that the article was unilaterally reverted by User:Jcmenal after an apparent hiatus [7], and later by the reporter [8] [9], without ANY comments. The reporter has also been blocked for edit warring (e.g., with Brazilian editors) and has committed sockpuppetry (e.g, submitting admin report as another user.) If I am to be sanctioned, both of these users should too. I have no comment regarding other comments herein. Please don't be hoodwinked by pernicious and disruptive POV pushers who seem to collude and insinuate a pro-Mexican bias into articles they edit. Corticopia (talk) 05:11, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
