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.
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.

This editor was blocked a week ago for edit-warring very similar content at Rapid-onset gender dysphoria controversy. They're back at it this week, but at the BLP of Jack Turban. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 20:22, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
- The post was up. NewsImpartial needs to build consensus before taking it down. There was a discussion in talk and it was agreed to be left up.
- agree with what Firefangledfeathers has said. The allegation from Levine was already included with the requisite weight based on its merits, and consensus about the National Review is that statements from it should be attributed. The other two citations; the AACAP Pilot Research Award press release, and (presumably) the funding excerpt from a January 2022 paper, when used in this manner constitute WP:SYNTH and original research, and would be not allowed in the article space.

Comments:
A new user with only nationalist edits deleting large, long-standing sections of the article. Esiymbro (talk) 08:23, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
he keep changing content to how he think it should be. For example, he is arguing that Hanbok(traditional Korean clothes) is a part of Chinese culture. Thus I just had to restore the stable version due to WP:NOR. persistent vandalism with original research cannot acceptable.(stable version that has been in use for a long time ☞ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hanbok&oldid=1102896065) Basically their motivation is based on their opinion that immigrant's culture can be a part of Chinese culture. There was no reliable source that Hanbok(traditional Korean clothes) can be a part of Chinese culture. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Hanbok#Is_Hanbok_the_traditional_clothes_of_Korean-Chinese_or_not%3F_Is_Hanbok_a_part_of_Chinese_culture%3F) His opinion is based on Chinese communist party's argument.(https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/feb/09/hanbok-beijing-winter-olympics-opening-sparks-south-korea-chinan-anger). And Its not even nationalistic edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by User10281129 (talk • contribs) 08:33, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
- Are the Korean Chinese not ethnic Koreans, is their national clothing not the same? And how do you justify the rest of your edits, deletions of well-sourced sections on Hanbok's history and development? Esiymbro (talk) 08:53, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
- You wrote Hanbok is a part of Chinese culture by yourself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by User10281129 (talk • contribs) 08:58, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
- Now that you have started blatantly lying I don't see any point continuing the discussion further. Esiymbro (talk) 09:04, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
- I never understood the Korean nationalist fascination with "Chinese claiming Hanbok is a part of Chinese culture". When did anyone ever written anything like that in the article? What harm it is to have a section about new developments of Hanbok in the Korean-Chinese community? Esiymbro (talk) 09:15, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
there is an argument from the Chinese communist party and China that Hanbok(Traditional Korean clothes) is a part of Chinese culture because it is also a traditional clothes of Korean-Chinese, a minority ethnic group in China.(https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/feb/09/hanbok-beijing-winter-olympics-opening-sparks-south-korea-chinan-anger) but Korean-Chinese people are just immigrants from Korea. And there is no country who claims immigrants culture as a part of them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by User10281129 (talk • contribs) 08:56, 29 August 2022 (UTC) l
Look:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1105756998. This is the cause of the controversy. "14,738 BYTES ADDED, 7 DAYS AGO"
The question is why do they add China to the introduction section of Hanbok even though Hanbok is not theirs? They wrote Hanbok in Chinese, and they wrote about Hanbok as if it were traditional Chinese clothing. Basically their motivation is based on their opinion that immigrant's culture can be a part of Chinese culture. There was no reliable source that Hanbok(traditional Korean clothes) can be a part of Chinese culture. — Preceding unsigned comment added by User10281129 (talk • contribs) 11:29, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

This complaint has been consciously prepared in advance with the purpose of banning me in a cruel way. I ask that the actions of Sakiv be investigated, since coincidentally his first editions in today's day has been the present denunciation of my reverts. And also the actions of Erminameraz who justifies his edits by saying that the official sources are wrong and only his personal statistics are valid without attaching any sources. It must be said that these are two users who have been editing Wikipedia for quite a few years and know perfectly well that a statistical edition without a reliable source cannot be accepted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vicpumu (talk • contribs) 11:01, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Comment No evidence that this is a bad-faith report. They may have had the Barça season page on their watchlist; there's nothing malicious about the report being their first edit of the day.
