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.

Comments:

Repeated blanking of sections (assuming good faith firstly, then it appeared vandalism but seems to be more not liking being reverted), doesn't seek consensus, refuse discussion, personnal attacks, doubtful justification of edits (I quote : "dumb, useless, pointless, awful, poor"), breach of policies and edit warring. Used the same behavior with User:Darkwarriorblake. Warned multiple times and blanked the warning without issue resolution. Trying at this very moment to intimidate me on my talk page by criticising my comprehension level and my level of English, as well as my past contributions.

I'm aware I'm may be borderline myself but I consider the behavior of the IP to be absolutely disgusting as it makes personnal attacks and refuses to collaborate with other members of wiki. Regards. CocoricoPolynesien (talk) 15:35, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

Note: CocoricoPolynesien whitewashes user_talk and has an extensive record of warring against multiple Wikipedians. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 15:46, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

No objection. I have been involved in Treaty of Campo Formio that has been settled and François Lecointre that has been settled.

• 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. – bradv🍁 15:51, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
  • I was sent there by WP:AIV because of edit warring... And what do I do about the personnal attacks ?

The IP user made 4 reverts alone on the 14th at The Thing, and has continued to utilise a brute force approach to editing since. No-one has been hostile towards teh IP that I can see yet they have been openly hostile and/or stubborn regarding their edits. Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE! 17:42, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

• That appears to only be two reverts, the third dif given does not appear to be a reversion.
