    Update this page

    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 {{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.

    A short explanation of the incident.

    Booby is aware of the 3RR rules as he has previously entred into a debat about someone else being baned for this (and has asked why others have not been baned). Moreover he edited more then just four times (about 7 in fact). Many of which are rather insultiing in their reasoning.I never intended to do this but will be unable to edit many of his revisions without violating the rule myslelf Slatersteven (talk) 20:33, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    He has not made a violation. If he makes several edits consecutively (i.e. with no other users in between), those edits only count as one revert. He has thus made only two reverts in the 24-hour period. Because of the dispute, I've protected the page for three days; please discuss the changes with him on the talk page. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:01, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    This is not a technical 24 hour 3RR violation, but nevertheless deserves action considering the user's block log (and you would have to go see all his sock puppets to get the real effect here), history, and refusal to stop edit warring even after objections were raised on the talk page.

    The user continually edit wars on many articles, but is often clever enough to count. I hope a block will caution him to build consensus. I'm making this report per WP:3RR "Editors may still be blocked even if they have made three or fewer reverts in a 24 hour period, if their behavior is clearly disruptive." ——Martinphi ☎ Ψ Φ—— 01:19, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Most of the edits are ancient. There is no WP:3RR violation here. If you have issues with the editor, the correct venue is a Request for Comments. If you suspect sockpuppetry, request a checkuser. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 08:14, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Sockpuppet used to circumvent 3rr violation. RFCU has been filed. [10]. The result was a possible. [11] removal of infobox that was already in discussion. user is new to article and conensus has not been reached. user has a strong history of reverting and undoing the work of others.

    Comment: Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Plasynins was opened by this same user. It was closed shortly afterwards. See my comment there about this nonsense, I dont think editing the same page as a person once and a "possible" checkuser result is a reason to block anyone. Yemal (talk) 19:10, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Is there any reason this is still open? The page in question was protected days ago and neither user has been active since then. The sockpuppet report was closed, why has this report not been???? Yemal (talk) 19:59, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    It was closed with a possible being the reason. Meaning it wasn't denied that you are in fact engaging in edit warring and are not the same person. As a result you could be still be blocked or at least given a warning for 3rr vandalism. User Playasins hasn't been on and took a "wikibreak" most likely as a result of a sockpuppet account being discovered. Armyguy11 (talk) 10:29, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Their tit-for-tat edit warrings are keeping so fast, I couldn't give a warning but another editor already did. I also think Clerkwheelzeon violates the rule together.

    User:Muscovite99 pushes allegations coming from questionable sources into a biography of a living person. This seems to violate WP:BLP. He has done 4 reverts in less than 2 hours being warned twice about 3RR. Kulikovsky (talk) 21:45, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Done. I would suggest that you don't make so many reverts yourself though. You've made three (just under the limit), but the limit of 3 reverts per 24 hours doesn't mean you should use that limit. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:18, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thank you. Just to explain, it is not that I want to do multiple reverts, but as far as I understand, WP:BLP requires removal of poorly sourced allegations. Whether they are poorly sourced or not I hope we can establish at the discussion page of the article. Thanks again. Kulikovsky (talk) 00:48, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Just a brief note: the edit war in this case was actually started by User:Kulikovsky whose actions also amount to censorship and WP:Vandalism. The issue was discussed at the discussion page and Belkovsky's opinion did not enjoy any majority. The allegations are presented as such, not as facts. As those have been made in credible publications by a number of well-known persons, they noteworthy and relevant.Muscovite99 (talk) 17:55, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • Diff of 3RR warning: [18]

    User:V-Dash is currently engaged in an edit war with IP 172.216.161.58. I am unsure whether 3RR covers an edit war on a users talk page, but I thought I should report it just in case. They have reverted each other several times in the last couple of hours. As of this report, V-Dash has reverted after I posted a 3RR warning on his talk page (the warning was posted in between the 4th and 5th revert); IP 172.216.161.58 has also violated 3RR on this talk page after the warning, and that report is filed below. I also feel it prudent to note that V-Dash has been warned multiple times about 3RR, and also been blocked for a 3RR violation in the past. He also has a history of attacking other editors, and sockpuppetry. MelicansMatkin (talk) 01:58, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    User's reverts were on his own talk page, which falls under WP:3RR#Exceptions, "reverts performed by a user within his or her own user page, user subpages, provided that such reverts do not restore copyright violations, libelous material, WP:BLP violations, or other kinds of inappropriate content enumerated in this policy or elsewhere".

    Back in October, Wikignat blanked a well-sourced, but controversial part of Alan Keyes' article. He was mean-spirited and did not assume good faith on the part of the editors at the time. His points were discussed patiently and a consensus of editors (myself, Dlabtot, and JamesMLane) determined that the information should be inlcluded. Last night, he blanked it again, this time providing sources to "prove" his points. I considered the sources and wrote a compromise. He reverted the compromise. In between, Dlabtot undid his blanking and mentioned that it should be kept. JamesMLane also came by and informed Wikignat he was wrong. Wikignat tried and failed to get the page protected, so he reverted again. I warned him of the 3RR back in October and again today. I also responded to him again on the talk page. Despite this, he reverted for the third time, so I am now reporting him. --20:37, 13 December 2007 (UTC)Jdcaust (talk)

So Spylab has been engaging himself in constantly reverting the changes made by me and several other users into his own POV. The article has been locked recently over this, and I think it's time to block Spylab as a warning and hopefully he will get the message not to editwar over this.

    It's not a 3RR violation if the edits are reverting vandalism. My reverts were merely restoring a link, one since added to the referenced citations, that was lazily being deleted and replaced by a completely irrelevant wikipedia article rather than editing it to be a referenced citation (which I ultimately did).

    "...blocks aren't used punitively or to give someone a message, only to prevent disruption." Huh...I didn't know that. Did you know that, User:Hu12? 'Cuz, you seem to want to indulge in some sort of punishment for my reverting of what you know I took to be vandalism and destruction of information.

    This case seems to be an attempt to impose one's own view of "standards to apply" rather than those of the community. Wikipedia's guidelines are generally accepted among editors, such as WP:3RR and is considered a standard that users should follow. Wikipedia policy is quite clear here: the responsibility for justifying inclusion of any content rests firmly with the editor seeking to include it. You engaged in an Wikipedia:Edit war as a way of attempting to win a content dispute. A contentious fact does not become uncontentious by virtue of repetition.--Hu12 (talk) 23:37, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    And I made the simple effort to fix the article via a referenced citation, while you -- repetitively -- insisted on using a Wikepedia article for reference that effectively had nothing to do with the content of the article.

    The easy way to see the reversion is to look at the casualties infobox and the casualties section of the article before [70] and after [71] the reversion. The article had been basically stable since Tiamut's version [72] on November 30, 2007. Tewfik initiated this latest round of major blind reversions. Armon tagged along after Tewfik. On November 28, 2007 on Armon's talk page Gatoclass pointed out [73] a previous 3RR violation by Armon concerning the casualties section of this article. Armon self-reverted that time. This time Armon made a few more edits of other articles after I left the 3RR warning on his talk page, but did not self-revert this article. Tewfik and Armon have been gaming 3RR for a long time concerning this article, and Tewfik has gotten other people blocked with his 3RR gaming. The purpose has been to obfuscate Palestinian civilian/noncombatant casualties. Almost all discussion on the article talk page since early August 2007 has been about casualties. --Timeshifter (talk) 20:44, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Did you read what I wrote? Armon was warned about 3RR a few weeks ago, and self-reverted. So he knows about 3RR. Further warnings about 3RR are a courtesy, not a requirement. Also, Armon has been editing Wikipedia since February 2006 and well knows about 3RR since he has been editing contentious Israeli-Palestinian conflict articles for a long time. Also, quoting you from a comment higher up; "3RR is not an entitlement, but an "electric fence"". --Timeshifter (talk) 22:30, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Strothra (talk) 23:17, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Hey now; I don't have a bunch of people to join me in my side of this 3RR, like you and your buddies play the WP:GAME to get what you want, even if you refuse to answer the talk page before adding unsubstantiated, unreferenced claims about Juan Carlos. I love the guy a bunch, but he's no imperial claimant, except by you, User:Michaelsanders and perhaps a few other Wikipedians. You are not the source. Bring a source, cite it as said. The article on Juan Carlos has to follow the same format as preceding monarchs of Spain. The claim that he alone is a Byzantine claimant is without citation, while neither the preceding monarch and his heir have this succession box. You can't just place this succession box in the middle of nowhere, while it is clear that the rest of the Spanish monarchs' succession boxes nowhere include the title "Byzantine Emperor", except for those few involved with Andreas Palaeologus. Look, I am a serious monarchist and sincerely believe in the Spanish monarchy. I expect serious editors and not blind fanatics who have not cited references. This issue would be best left to the talk page. Throughout all this edit warring, you have not substantiated this claim, just readded what appears to be a WP:HOAX to many of the PhD.s in history here at Wikipedia, like User:Clio the Muse, User:Xn4, User:Adam Bishop and User:John Kenney. In fact, I defer to their expertise almost constantly. You should listen to what they have to say; they know their stuff! Follow editorial convention and cite your historical sources, if you have any. As far as you've shown me, there are none to be had. I will stop removing this data if you have a source, properly in context and not distorted shamefully to serve a warped POV. So, who says that Juan Carlos is the current Byzantine claimant? In my defense of "breaking the 3RR": Talk:Philip_I_of_Castile#Philip_never_claimed_the_title_Emperor_of_the_Romans. Michael Sanders has been continually attacking my edits without foundation. I have been forced to stave off both an absolute monarchist (Strotha) and Sanders, whose own profile page indicates his willingness to use Wikipedia as a vehicle for personalized conflict, in which he'll never give up what he believes in. Look at Sanders's block log: [74] Also view the talk page on Juan Carlos, where we are presently articulating the nonsense being peddled forth here: Talk:Juan_Carlos_I_of_Spain#Juan_Carlos_doesn.27t_claim_the_title_Emperor_of_the_Romans. The original discussion is here: Talk:List_of_titles_and_honours_of_the_Spanish_Crown#Proof_of_Byzantine_inheritance. I even posted this dispute on the talk page of Sanders (User_talk:Michaelsanders#They_never_called_themselves_his_heirs.2C_or_used_the_title_.22Emperor_of_the_Romans.22.) and he ignored it, rather than address the pertinent issue. He returned to revert warring, instead of discussion. I have been discussing this issue point for point with the great and respected minds of Wikipedia, in addition to keeping this article at a sane, citable level (although I haven't actually looked at the rest, because I'm only interested in the dubious Byzantine aspect of it). If this Strotha or Sanders can "pwn" me with knowledge of my error on the data (which I've checked and compared with respectable Wikipedians), rather than how I've acted per 3RR, then I wont ever edit these articles again! More backdrop of this discussion, which apparently nobody has picked up on: User_talk:24.255.11.149#Byzantine_claims/User_talk:Tourskin#Talk:List_of_Byzantine_Emperors/Talk:List_of_Byzantine_Emperors#Spanish_Royalty.3F 24.255.11.149 (talk) 07:24, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Controversial article that just came out of protectiona few days ago. As a semi-involved party, felt I should report this as its a BLP and accuracy there is super-important. Mbisanz (talk) 19:48, 18 December 2007 (UTC) Also, User:Arzel started a thread on User:Qworty here [93] , but this seems like the more appropriate place to bring this part of the dispute. Mbisanz (talk) 19:53, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    I don't wish to get technical rather than adhering to the spirit of 3RR, which I do very much believe in, but my initial edit [94] was not a revert, but the addition of new information that came out in today's New York Times. I won't revert it any further, and I do apologize if I've misunderstood the guideline, but I do not believe I have violated it. For a discussion as to whether this issue is actually BLP (it involves in fact a dead man, George Romney) please see [95] Thank you very much, and I appreciate everyone's input. Qworty (talk) 20:04, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    I think it is clear that this is a violation of WP:BLP as an example of WP:COAT. User Qworty has been attempting for some time to add to the Mitt Romney article allegations of previous racist misdeeds by the Mormon Church to the MR article. I was following guidelines under WP:BLP by which the 3RR rules does not apply. Arzel (talk) 20:10, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Just an note that Qworty's original edit (ending in id 262) was never included in this report. Arzel's revert of that edit was included as his first revert. Mbisanz (talk) 20:09, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, my original edit is part of the report. It's the first one you mention, incorrectly noted as a "revert." The edit history shows [96] that I have made four edits to the article today (Dec 18). The first edit is the addition of new information from the New York Times. The next three edits are reverts. I never did make a fourth revert and have no intention of doing so. Qworty (talk) 20:23, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    I do not believe this has technically reached 3RR, however there is clearly edit warring going on. I also agree with comments elsewhere by Arzel regarding BLP and NPOV concerns. I am warning everyone against edit warring and have warned Qworty about BLP issues. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 20:36, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Struck Qworty's name, as technically he has not reverted an article 4 times in 24 hours. Please forgive my math error Mbisanz (talk) 22:19, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Honestly, Arzel should have been blocked. And I support his side in this content dispute. BLP is being taken extremely loosely in this instance, and to use it as an excuse to violate 3RR is ridiculous. The Evil Spartan (talk) 07:26, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    This editor has attempted to introduce WP:OR on a number of occasions, including improper synthesis of material. I have attempted to draw this editors attention to this on the talk page here but as the last edit summary they made here shows, they are not interested. I must point out, that I have had a number of encounters with this editor, and feel it only right to point this out. Here are the diff’s [114] and [115] . Domer48 (talk) 23:41, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Is the third diff a revert? It appears to immediately follow the edit identified as the second revert, which would seem to imply this is a self-revert or a single revert over multiple edits. In any case, I've already protected the page from editing; will leave this report up for another admin to respond. – Luna Santin (talk) 00:21, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    No violation. Reverts 3 does not count as it is a revert without edit-warring (part of two consecutive edits by the same user). R. fiend's actions may require scrutiny but this is no place for that. Stifle (talk) 11:17, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • Previous version reverted to: [116]
    • Diff of 3RR warning: [121]

    This user is an admin so should know better even without a warning!

    I was simply trying to improve MS as I have done before (it is a page that interests me for personal reasons) and I was reverted without discussion. I may well have been off on the wrong track though I think I have put the page right now ... but at not point did JHunterJ make any attempt at dialogue, preferring to revert me ... as an admin he should know better. Abtract (talk) 01:34, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Reverts were of different edits that User:Abtract was trying to foist upon Wikipedia without forming consensus (BRBRBRBR rather than WP:BRD); in particular the fourth revert was after a complete. See also Talk:MS to see how the edits are contrary to WP:MOSDAB and consensus there. This is not the first time Abtract has engaged in disruptive edits here or on other articles. Perhaps I should have protected the article earlier in the sequence... -- JHunterJ (talk) 02:39, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Response The fact that the reverts were of different edits (and they were marginally different in an attempt to improve on my previous attempt) is immaterial, as this admin should know. My edits were all in good faith and in no way intended to be "disruptive" (indeed I have never tried to be disruptive but I have been carried away occasionally with an attack of overenthusiastic "knowing I am right", which is wikistupidity I know) but I received very little guidance from JHunterJ who simply reverted with the briefest of non-helpful edit summary - note I was the first to use the talk page - it was only after his 4th revert that he had the decency to give me chapter and verse on where I was going wrong (an admin's job surely?). I have now put matters right but with a version of the page changed from that of a few days ago, an improvement I believe and in line with policy. I would have done this earlier if advised properly from the start.
    To be honest I wouldn't have reported JHunterJ had he not been an admin but surely he should have known, and behaved, better? Abtract (talk) 10:15, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    I believe you should take the trouble to read the edit summaries I used, such as this one on the first revert: "Disambig page style repair: (you can help!), restore Microsoft, de-bold, etc.)" which links to the dab project. You have also been repeatedly referred to WP:MOSDAB, and you are editing MS knowingly contrary to it without forming consensus. -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:06, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    I apologise that this isn't following the correct template. I was watching recent edits, and came upon this edit war. I have no idea which is the correct version, but there appears to be three versions that arebeing switched between, and an awful lot of name calling. The three versions are as follows

    • Previous version reverted to: [122]
    • Previous version reverted to: [123]
    • Previous version reverted to: [124]



    Can an administrator step in and bring about peace, please? StephenBuxton (talk) 11:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Please use the proper reporting template with diffs if you wish to report a 3RR violation.

    I firmly believe that User:Xchange is editing in good faith. However, his edits demonstrate a non-neutral viewpoint, are speculative, rely on random definitions for terms such as 'Large Format' include spelling mistakes, and are generally non-encyclopedic. Other editors, including myself, have tried to reason with him, but he does not appear willing to listen to and/or accept our arguments and requests that he attempt to achieve consensus. Please review this matter as time allows and make judgments according to your expertise. If you feel that I am in danger of violating WP:3RR please let me know how I should change my editing behavior in the future to avoid such danger, and understand that I will not engage in further edits on this article until admins have weighed in. Also, any suggestions as to how I should handle similar situations in the future would be much appreciated. Many thanks. Fbagatelleblack (talk) 16:40, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
