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.

The user User:Sureshpandey is violating and does not understand Wikipedia:Ownership of content, he has claimed previosly that he works in Pant family office so there is clearly WP:CONFLICT.

I have tried to explain him the wikipedia policies in GB Pant talk page here --> [[8]] .. but he won't listen and currently doing edit warring and POV pushing on Ila Pant article.

There is quite a lively discussion going on, which I started on the talk page. I believe we must solve the issue whether it is neutral, due, and policy-abiding to include primary sourced for controversial statements.

This user has been warned multiple times abut going against MOS (ie separating the men and women athletes, when they should be on one table) here and here

I am sick of this user behaving like he owns all of these pages and the editing must be done according to his standards. CAN ACTION PLEASE BE TAKEN AGAINST HIM. Thank you. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 04:57, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO DO THAT AGAINST ME? I'M NOT ABUSING MY EDITS OKAY! WHY DO YOU KEEP ACCUSING ME ON EVERYTHING ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M EDITING? CAN YOU PLEASE STOP ACCUSING ME ABOUT OWNERSHIP OF THE PAGES? IT'S ALREADY CONSIDERED BULLYING AND ASSUMPTION AGAINST GOOD FAITH. I'M CORRECTING AND MADE SOME OF THE CHANGES, and then suddenly, YOU KEPT ON REVERTING WITHOUT CAREFULLY LOOKING AT OTHER UPDATES. Lightweight double sculls doesn't indeed have a QUARTERFINAL PHASE for both men and women, only single sculls do. But looking at the men's lightweight double sculls that you reverted, it contains a quarterfinal phase, while the women doesn't. WHAT SEEMS TO BE YOUR PROBLEM? Stop telling me that it's against MOS (blah blah) as your main reason. It's irritating and stressful to hear that. I don't even understand why do you have to file a complaint against me on edit warring. This is for the nth time. Raymarcbadz (talk) 05:19, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

WP:BOOMERANG. Stop squabbling the pair of you. And frankly in this case it doesn't look like a 3RR violation anyway given that the edits are correcting an error - Basement12 (T.C) 07:51, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Exactly, Basement12. I'm already fed up of his accusations against me contributing to the WikiProject Olympics. Looks like he might want to remove me from the user list of the project. Raymarcbadz (talk) 14:53, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

The more I look at this I see WP:BOOMERANG issues here. Both editors should discuss. Qed237 (talk) 15:11, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Basement12, another issue on me about my edit for Spain at the 2016 Summer Olympics. He thinks that I don't speak English and have ownership issues. Also, he will keep on giving me the same reason about this. It makes me irritating and stressful. I don't even know how many NOC pages did he target on his watch list. First, he started the edit war with me on Canada, San Marino, Chile, and now Spain. I have too many concerns already about the styling. And the width of tables for events. They're even longer than the name of athletes and the results which will be posted during the Games. Raymarcbadz (talk) 16:53, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Could someone take a closer look at these two editors? The war between them continues on multiple articles for example Spain at the 2016 Summer Olympics recently. Qed237 (talk) 09:26, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Actually, across most of the articles, Qed237. I just don't even understand why Sportsfan 1234 continues to come out very aggressively in a "I am always right" way to my edits without resolving the issues and simply respect other people's matters on our discussion. Truthfully, I am tired of edit warring and it enrages me a lot because of too many disagreements.

Add one more thing. Shooting at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Qualification. I just don't understand why Canada appears on the row Athletes qualifying in other events, and not other NOCs, which sounded unfair though. Of course, we will include most of the shooters in that row, but I just simply hide them until all 390 athletes have already been named, and then unhide them for sure (isn't Sportsfan 1234 patient with these details; time is of essence). Here's the priority level. It starts with qualifying period and selection of athletes, and then Tripartite Commission names the shooters, before ISSF distributes unused places to shooters from unqualified nations. Once the list has completed, we can add the rest of the selected shooters in the row Athletes qualifying in other events. Raymarcbadz (talk) 09:46, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

This applies to BOTH editors. Both editors are edit warring over several articles, and even though they are communicating at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Olympics it does not mean that they can revert eachother until consensus has been found. If you look at article history at Spain at the 2016 Summer Olympics you see the "+174" and "-174" since 10 May and that they edited this 9 times each (diffs from one of the editors on that article include [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27]). Also both editors have been warned here and here for edit warring and has removed other warnings at their talkpages. Time for action. Qed237 (talk) 10:18, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Dear Administrators!

Let me briefly to comment. User User: Staszek Lem irreconcilable edit the article and not explained which rules I violated. I have read the rules and found none the rules I violated, at the same time the user Statzek Lem is refused from a public discussion. His argument was - Russian people spread Pirate Video. I think it's just inadmissible arguments. Now there are complaints to administrators - it looks like a war against the person. I ask you to sort things out objectively in this issue. I create this article with only good intentions about Dmitry Polyakov - he realy worthy and renowned young musician. I added enough information and will add more - give me the time. Eventually I received unjustified criticism and irreconcilable edit and even delete the page.

Comments:

Whether or not this user actually has a COI, they do not seem keen on coming to any form of consensus. Every change, even those backed by policy, are being reverted. Staszek Lem has left them multiple notes regarding talk page usage and removal of tags, and despite a 3RR notice by Liz they are keeping right at it. Primefac (talk) 20:05, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Note As the user was not notified of Staszek Lem's nomination at 3RR, I did not realize it had already been filed. Feel free to close whichever one is more appropriate.

• Comment Both Valery Surkoff and Staszek Lem are guilty of edit warring on this article. I posted edit warring notices on each of their talk pages (Staszek Lem removed the one on his talk page). They have both continued to edit the article although the reverts have stopped. There is the beginning of a discussion on the article talk page. I think they both need to step away from this article for a while. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:18, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

That's bull. I placed cleanup tags, this page owner promptly removed the without responding to talk page. I have already stepped away from this article after posting notices on a couple of admin boards. I perfectly realize that it impossible to fight a bully one-on-one in wikipedia. Initially I was reinserting tags, because I thought a newbie will come to their senses and respond to notices it talk pages. And there is no "discussion" in article talk page about this particular issue. Staszek Lem (talk) 20:34, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

You will be gladly given an opportunity to edit the article once you start paying attention what people are actually advising you. You are ignoring all advises starting from the very first one given in the very fist post on your talk page: how to correctly sign your posts. The sooner you stop attacking other editors and start asking questions the sooner you will write an article about "really worthy and renowned young musician". And yes, Russian people do spread pirate video on youtube, and you have to provide some minimal evidence that you are not one of them. I did find it myself, by the way, i.e., we are not your enemies here. And I wrote about this in the talk page and got no 'thank you'. I am sorry that Putin's Russia is full of anti-American paranoia.

Editor persistently adds several genres to the band's infobox that are sourced from online blog posts and other self-published sources. Totally disregards any attempts by me to explain how and why they don't belong on Wikipedia.Ilovetopaint (talk) 19:53, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

• We discussed on the article's talk page, that the sources do pertain to the subject of the article. It's just a debate as to whether or not they are suitable for wikipedia. I have heard from many that music editorials and databases like allmusic are suitable sources. Then it turns out that wasn't the issue in the first place. It seems the issue is that the above user who made this notice on me, seems to think the genres are dismissive, when I obviously sourced every single one that is mentioned. So yes I did revert the article to my changes, because I'm not here to please him. Boaxy (talk) 20:04, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Yet another revert.

Your genres were dismissed because they don't even appear in most of the sources you gave, and even for the ones that do, are still self-published. Anyone can create a personal web page or publish their own book, and also claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason, self-published media, such as books, patents, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, personal or group blogs (as distinguished from newsblogs, above), content farms, Internet forum postings, and social media postings, are largely not acceptable as sources.

He still doesn't get it

After finding out that he was blocked, Boaxy immediately resorts to personal attacking myself while he is off Wikipedia (specifically, on Reddit); crying homophobia, bullying, etc. when this has nothing to do with all that. He should know why his conduct is unacceptable.

Here's the post he made (though I apologize if it gets deleted because I reported it): https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiInAction/comments/4jabgu/f_wikipedia_for_real/ --Loyalmoonie (talk) 07:01, 14 May 2016 (UTC)Chris

For the personal attack made in Boaxy's unblock request, I have increased the block to 1 week, and would consider a lengthy escalation should such attacks continue. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:45, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

Newish user using 4RR to strong-arm a deletion.

The content is unquestioned, but is being repeatedly blanked as "Appendix information (not spec) removed from specs." and "an environmental characteristic". I don't know what either of these mean, the editor's English language skills (they're Portugese?) make it difficult to communicate with them.

The point to this content is that these early home computers didn't use the same character sets, they rolled their own - only a small part was ASCII. For the Ace, a notable choice was made to follow the ZX Spectrum's lead. This is worth recording.

Some discussion was requested at Talk:Jupiter_Ace#Deletion_of_character_set_description and Talk:Jupiter_Ace#Overflowing_with_undue_mentions, but they just went and deleted it again anyway.

Their other edits (across very few articles) seem to be equally contentious with other editors. See Talk:ZX81 & Talk:Tape drive. Andy Dingley (talk) 20:45, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Comments: Editor is continually reverting edits without any reasoning supported by Wikipedia guidelines. Initial edits made by the user in March were deleted for copyright infringement by an admin. Editor then paraphrased and re-added them, some under the guise of correcting the page but the majority is poorly structured, repetitive, and in some cases promotional and not newsworthy (WP:NOTNEWS). There are unnecessary sub headers giving undue weight to single lines of content that are not notable, or just speculation in some cases, and there are large sections for topics only covered by a single source (WP:UNDUE). There are also errors in the reference section. Editor claims to be working with an admin on the content, though no evidence exists to suggest that. Edits are continuously reverted with no grounds for doing so and with no effort to actually improve the page.

Comments: I am also reporting the user who reported me. It is unfair that he has accused me of such without examining his own behavior. I offered several compromises to this user and attempted to work with them. Their claims that some of the content is undue and not news firstly, is not accurate, and secondly, does not justify their massive overhaul of the page. It is reliably source and relevant. Even still, what is more concerning is that I offered several times to compromise on the content to no avail. I was, and am still, willing to trim down parts of the page if this user gives up their battleground mentality to wipe all of the content. Their edits are not improvements to the page and I have offered them an olive branch that was rejected.

The user remains in that all issues should be resolved through wars editions, previously've left him messages on his talk page, which has completely ignored. The day arrives today making major changes in an article claiming that according to the information was confirmed by Telemundo, which is totally false, because not yet confirmed the opening theme of the series. And organizes the cast according as he says, ignored what clearly says stylebook and instructions. I have said this several times, but do not want to understand.

Editing conspiracy (probably): User:Staszek Lem and User:Primefac (Result: Declined)

Dear Admins!

I want to get your opinion on the following question: Two users (User:Staszek Lem and User:Primefac) actively edit pages Dmitry Polyakov. I had to cancel editing them because they were unfounded (it's my opinion), after 4 times I was blocked. After that, I saw a message in a conversation, look here [[65]] this indicating their conspiracy. What do you think about it? I want to know your opinion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Valery Surkoff (talk • contribs) 06:01, 13 May 2016 (UTC) --Valery Surkoff (talk) 06:04, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

• I can't find the message that you think indicates their conspiracy, Valery Surkoff. It's difficult when you link to a whole page. If you meant this post, your conspiracy theory has no merit, in fact it's absurd. (See Wikipedia:Simple diff and link guide for how to link to a specific edit that you want people to look at.)

Dirroli has been edit warring over the proper use of primary sources an the article Landry's, Inc.. Per WP:BRD, toohool (talk · contribs) reverted Dirroli's changes and began a discussion on the talk page. However, Dirroli undid the reversion and only replied with a series of less than appropriate comments and insults. Each time that the disputed citations were restored, Dirroli deleted them. Attempts to reach out to him on his talk page were greeted with a page blanking and snide comments or counter claims that the other editors were the ones doing the warring in the edit histories.

This is not Dirroli's first time edit warring as he has been previously blocked for such actions on other pages. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 07:38, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Comments:This user edit warred extensively at Timothy Leary as an IP, 76.188.160.128. The article was semi-protected to stop him doing this, but the user started an account, is now able to by-pass semi-protection, and has continued the same behavior. Above, I have included edits that the user made both as an IP and edits he made with his new account. Note that the user has reverted multiple other users (myself, Skyerise, and IP 87.115.63.172) and that no one has agreed with or supported his edits. I attempted to resolve the dispute on the talk page, but the editor responded to this attempt with juvenile "bring-it-on"-type statements. I commented, "If you do not stop restoring that passage despite the lack of agreement from other editors, I will be forced to seek some kind of sanctions against you." The user's response was, "Go for it." So, here we are.

(NB, the warning for edit warring above is not the only one; the user was warned as an IP too, see here).

FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 23:28, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

I'm sure that if you look closely at Timothy Leary: Revision history you'll find that i'm no more guilty of edit warring than FKC, who has stopped at nothing to dispute any contributions i've made to the article. FKC has previously edit warred to remove cited information claiming that Leary was a philosopher and is now making these accusations against me simply for restoring uncited text that was deleted without there ever being a consensus to do so in the first place. --AcidRock67 (talk) 00:32, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

No. We are dealing here with a specific issue - your edit warring to restore uncited text - not everything that either of us has ever done at the article. During the course of this dispute, you have reverted against multiple users; I have not. The article was semi-protected specifically to stop your edit warring, not to stop mine. I stopped reverting; you didn't. I attempted to resolve the dispute on the talk page, you responded with a series of ridiculous or provocative comments. Three users disagreeing with you is good enough reason why you should not be restoring uncited content. The other issues you mention have nothing to do with this one. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 00:58, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

You did not use the talk page to try and resolve the dispute, you only used it to complain about my restoration of deleted content and threaten me with a block. And as far as I can recall you reverted multiple users when you were edit warring to remove cited information from the article despite the fact that nobody at the time agreed with you. You are hardly in any position to accuse me of edit warring when you are guilty of the same behavior yourself. --AcidRock67 (talk) 01:18, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

I pointed out to you on the talk page that you were reverting multiple users, and that this is not acceptable behavior. That is attempting to resolve the dispute. You, as noted, responded to me with a series of nonsensical comments (for example, "I'm not willing to cooperate with you", indicating a lack of interest in discussing the content dispute properly). I did not "threaten" you with anything. Not being an admin, I of course cannot block you. You simply do not seem to realize that we are not here to discuss everything that ever happened at the article; we are here to discuss your behavior during a recent dispute, and the unacceptable things you have done during the course of that dispute. Complaining that I might have done bad things at some point in the past is not going to help you. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 01:29, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
