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.

Wikiblazers is an wp:SPA who is removing content claiming that content with dead links is unsourced. I have informed Wikiblazers about wp:KDL. Wikiblazers continues to remove such content. Jim1138 (talk) 08:25, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Now, I am a part of the scam diff Jim1138 (talk) 08:27, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

I had pointed out about the notability of this Wong Jeh Shyan in concern. FIrstly, his PhD is a fake degree banned by Pakistan. See this link https://dailytimes.com.pk/159160/hec-bans-two-universities-karachi/ But it was ignored by Jim1138

Then I pointed out over 5 other problems with the article but it was undo by Jim1138. Look at the Talk under https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wong_Jeh_Shyan

I am merely pointing out all the flaws. Please wiki editors, help me to see and verify every single thing in Wong Jeh SHyan. The sources are misrepresented and 99% made no reference to the things being said in the Wikipedia article. They merely point out facts and made no reference to WongWikiblazers (talk) 08:32, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Furthermore in my defense, i would like to point out that the deadlinks NEVER mention about Wong as well. if you have a log of the old dead links, you can see the comments are all "Needs References to Reliable Sources" or "Too vague". If you ever bothered to check these sources, you find that the facts are there, but Wong is never involved in whatever said in the articles.Wikiblazers (talk) 08:36, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

• Result: User:Wikiblazers is warned not to edit war. Per this comment they will take a break from editing the article. Note the wording of WP:BLPREQUESTRESTORE, which forbids restoring BLP-challenged material without either getting references or a consensus first.

Comments:

Apologies for not seeing the message on the Vignette talk page. Posting it more than 3 minutes before reporting me would've helped. Regarding the sentence in dispute, I do think it's plain and obvious that the source verifies the claim. What POV can there be in the fact that Switzerland is the only country that has only yearly vignettes for cars is beyond me.

I've edited WP for a long time and I don't appreciate being driven off by reverting and templating for two days before anyone cares to start a discussion with a filthy IP. I would encourage User:ZH8000 to edit as an IP on his/her own for a little bit and try to add a few sourced but "unpatriotic" claims of his/her own. Then he/she might understand why I don't edit much. 93.139.89.201 (talk) 03:16, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

• I think this user might be Neilen[1] who has previously been banned for sockpuppetry. Neilen made almost the identical edit to the Peter Strzok article before he was blocked. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 20:30, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
• I did not go for dispute resolution due to evidence this account is vandalism only. Kirbanzo (talk) 20:31, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

• Result: Page semiprotected two months. This is intended to discourage drive-by editing by new editors who aren't willing to discuss their changes on Talk. I've also left a notice on the talk page that the subject matter falls under WP:ARBAP2. I am not applying a page restriction such as 1RR. Normal editing can continue, but only by autoconfirmed editors. This keeps the option of WP:ECP available for the future if the semiprotection doesn't improve the editing climate. The SPI report on Vaalpak was closed with no action. EdJohnston (talk) 17:26, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

User is determined to remove a word, though there is no doubt that "the syncretistic Hellenistic world" describes a fact that even the user doesn't disagree with; they are somehow scared that the reader will think that that makes Christianity syncretistic.

• So they're also reverting Joshua Jonathan now, as well as another edit of mine--without explanation. Drmies (talk) 03:55, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Joshua Jonathan's edit was the same as yours, and your other edit was reverted by Joshua Jonathan himself. I reverted your other edit PER Joshua Jonathan. "without explanation" is also severely dishonest.ScepticismOfPopularisation (talk) 03:58, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

• User:AldezD has repeatedly reverted the page when at least 3 editors have disagreed with him but began a discussion when challenged to do so in an edit summary. He was warned at the outset that he had reverted too many times already (on 21st May) but then reverted 3 times in the space of 24 hours 21-22 May.--Tigranis (talk) 04:34, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
  • The first three edits linked above are from 6, 10 and 12 days ago. The other three edits on 21 May do not fail WP:3RR since there wasn't a fourth revert. My edits on 21 May reverted re-addition of unsourced content that fails WP:V and falls under WP:NOTTVGUIDE. After reverting yesterday I initiated a discussion on the talk page linking to guidelines that explain why this content is not appropriate. Even when presented with guidelines, comments from editors including @User:Tigranis are simply "I don't agree" rather than addressing those guidelines, or repeatedly asking "what are the guidelines" even when they are linked within the discussion. I then asked for WP:3O, with the responder agreeing with me that this content does not belong on Wikipedia. AldezD (talk) 12:19, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Violates 3RR by using several IP sockets: 78.0.246.100, 86.153.135.111, 93.142.87.187, 93.139.89.201, 190.213.15.141, 93.136.77.51 despite unresolved dispute. ZH8000 (talk) 00:44, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

I'm not 86.153.135.111 nor 190.213.15.141 (I don't know who that is), the others are because my IP is dynamic. ZH8000 is the one who has done the most reverting and keeps calling me and 86.153.135.111 names (see talk page) and reporting to this noticeboard to get his way. See [38][39][40]. He/she is also trying to get the talk page protected to shut down the discussion [41]. 78.0.246.100 (talk) 01:17, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

• Result: Page semiprotected one month. The IP-hopper introduced their claim on 20 May that Switzerland's vignette is the 'most expensive in Europe for transiting passenger car drivers' and is warring to maintain it in the article even though no one else supports it. The claim can't be found in the source article and appears to be WP:OR. Consider the steps of WP:DR. A person who reverts from a fluctuating IP may run afoul of the WP:SOCK policy.

I've notified Dennis Brown since Zefr failed to make the mandatory notification. Meters (talk) 01:45, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

It was done properly. See his Talk page history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zefr (talk • contribs) 01:53, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

That's just an edit warring warning, not the mandatory notice that an AN3 report had been opened. Meters (talk) 02:10, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

• No violation Dennis Brown is at 3RR, but has not violated it. Same applies to the complainant in this thread, it should be noted. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 01:57, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
• I didn't hit 4RR, and I made it clear I wouldn't be reverting anymore today. Zefr is the problem here. First he reverts saying it is original research, yet CNN is the source. That failed, so next he's saying it has to have a MEDRS source (it doesn't, it isn't a medical article or claim, it is an event) His next reverts are linking to irrelevant policies. Not once has he explained why he thinks they apply, and uses only the edit summary and templating my page as communication. Three editors have decided the material is worth keeping, and he keeps shaking the magic 8 ball with a new reason in the summary, but no discussion until he was finally goaded to. I've used the talk page for every revert, I've compromised with the editors who agree on the content to make it better suited, I was happy to hear WHY he thought policy was against it but he refused to say why, just throwing links around, links that I don't think he fully understands the meaning of. The only editor that is just blind reverting without discussion and against 3 editors who agree on the content is Zefr. It isn't about the count of reverts, it's about the behavior around them. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 02:04, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

• Despite Zefr's claim that Dennis Brown violated 3RR [46] [47] this is not correct. Brown undid this three times today, discussed it on the talk page, and stated that he was done with his reverts [48], all before this 3RR was opened. As far as I can tell Brown has not made this edit previously. Zefr restored his or her preferred version three times today [49] [50] [51], and had previously made the same [52] [53] or substantially similar [54] [55] [ this last diff likely does fall under MEDRS, see discussion below added at: 04:39, May 24, 2018‎ ] removals . I think we are into WP:BOOMERANG territory. Meters (talk) 02:05, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Seems to be WP:OWN behavior on Zefr's part just from reading Dennis' message above. Amaury (talk | contribs) 02:07, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

I would request that the behavior be examined more closely, understanding that mine will be as well. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 02:08, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

The edits/purposed edits are very clearly in the MEDRS territory note for example that this [56] is taking a case report as being established fact and even the current wording is taking a very tenuous connection as being a well determined causation. There shouldn't be any debate that this should both fall under MEDRS and that it doesn't at all meet that established standard. Falconjh (talk) 03:46, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Irrelevant and misleading. This is a discussion of edit warring, not article content. That edit was 6 weeks ago and Dennis Brown did not make it and has not restored it. I agree that that version is very likely a MEDRS violation, but MEDRS is not one of the exemptions from edit warring per WP:NOT3RR, I'll add a comment to my previous listing of that edit by Zefr for consideration of any possible boomerang.. Meters (talk) 04:38, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

• The complaint has been closed (above) by User:78.26 as No violation. There is nothing more for AN3 to do. I'm sure that the experienced people here can think of some places that a consensus could be worked out. EdJohnston (talk) 04:59, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

• Just read my edit summaries, which the OP has refused to do. (S)he also required me to provide a citation when the transcription was unsourced to begin with. Mr KEBAB (talk) 16:18, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
  • I did no such thing. Provide diffs of your claims. Softlavender (talk) 16:20, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
    • [63], [64], [65] Mr KEBAB (talk) 16:23, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
      • The first diff is not me; the second and third diffs prove your claim is false. Softlavender (talk) 16:28, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
        • Fair enough, but that doesn't change much. It still means you didn't read my edit summaries. Mr KEBAB (talk) 16:30, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
