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:
The article 2013 in the Philippines is subject to edit-warring by Yaysmay15 repeatedly because of reverting removals of non-notable, redundant, routine, and "over-hyped" events. Hariboneagle927 keeps on reverting Yaysmay15's edits, but one reverted, he reverts them again. Hariboneagle927 even warned him on this diff, but still continued to come back reverting his removals, as in this diff.

Yaysmay15 has also other edit-warring cases, mostly on years in the Philippines articles, like 2014 in the Philippines articles. But no one reported that user for edit-warring with other users on those articles.-TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 14:36, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

I attest to this. I've been warning the user and asked the user to explain his edits but did not listen to such request after all or don't even bother to comment in anyway where I could have any hint on their position on their edits. I can only guess why they keep on insisting on reverting problematic edits, that they want to include any widely-covered events nationally (in the Philippines), no matter how it is WP:ROUTINE or overhyped silly season (such as the case of the "mystery death" of Nicole Ella during the New Year's Eve; which is caused by a stray bullet and its not uncommon to have stray-bullet deaths in the country during this period.)Hariboneagle927 (talk) 16:42, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

I agree, as His edits are primarily targeted on "XXXX in the Philippines " articles, and the user doesn't even place edit summaries to explain the edits, and the events he has been adding/re-adding, once reverted, is beyond the consensus of the Tambayan Philippines community that events in XXXX in the Philippines articles should be notable enough or not routine. User:Hariboneagle927 is very serious about this matter, but Yaysmay15 would not listen to any warning by other users, like him. He has been edit-warring with Hariboneagle927 and seems to be reverting his edits in violation of WP:3RR, and seems to be making "XXXX in the Philippines" articles a summary of nationally-covered events, whether routine or non-notable (in violation of WP:NOTNEWS, WP:ROUTINE and WP:NOTABLE). I suppose Yaysmay15 should be blocked for a week or a month to stop those editing behaviors, that seems to violate those mentioned policies.--TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 06:55, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

Although the user has been temporarily blocked for 48 hours which I assume is related to this case. A new user with a similar name has continued to make similar edits. Yays Falcunitin which has a strikingly similar name to blocked user, Vince daryl falcunitin who has a similar editing history.

He is putting a false claim on Wikipedia. This is the false claim: The city is divided into two zones, where the main portion forms part of Galmudug state, the Suusacley (Israac) district is governed by the Puntland administration.

The source he provided was checked and it did not contain his claim. He is putting false information on Wikipedia.

Still edit warring with different users despite being previously warned without reaching a consensus with other users (even though he claims one person agrees with him).This time, it's on Yerevan. It's clear to see that this user hasn't learned from his previous warning, therefore he's being reported again. Class455fan1 (talk) 16:54, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

It's not a claim, wiseguy. Look in the edit history and you will see a user clearly telling Yerevantsi he agrees with me. HyeSK (talk) 21:27, 7 August 2016 (UTC)HyeSK

HyeSK is a single-purpose user. His response to my calls to discuss the matter in the talk page was: "I will be reverting them back". He should be blocked for edit-warring. His editing is simply disruptive. --Երևանցի ^talk 08:36, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

I am not at all a single purpose user. I am here to put in place the truth and to improve Wikipedia. One of those improvements involves providing information to increase knowledge, specifically on Armenian articles. Armenian includes two primary dialects of Eastern and Western Armenian. Pages referring only to one dialect as "Armenian" are misleading, as that portrays only one dialect as the sole dialect of the language. If we are here to improve Wikipedia, denying this fact only hinders that cause. HyeSK (talk) 09:17, 8 August 2016 (UTC)HyeSK

@HyeSK: This is not the place for you to WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS. You have to work together with other editors in a civil fashion. _Muffled ^Pocketed 09:25, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

@Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi: - Forgive me, but how is me stating their are two major dialects "RIGHTGREATWRONGS"? It's simply a fact.HyeSK (talk) 10:13, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

If you're here to improve Wikipedia, why don't you stop edit warring and bring this dispute to a talk page. Even though there is one, you're still edit warring! You have to realise edit warring is highly disruptive and because you continue to do so, you find yourself being brought here again, HyeSK. Class455fan1 (talk) 09:24, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

The one edit warring is the one who reverted my edits. Yerevantsi was warned about edit warring a month ago for the same reverts. The information I added only adds to the quality of the article. I have added this to the talk page on Yerevan's article:

Armenian language The Armenian language has two primary dialects - Eastern and Western. Eastern Armenian is spoken primarily in Armenia, Russia, Georgia, and Iran. The other major populations of Armenians around the world are speakers of the Western dialect. These nations include the U.S., France, UK, Germany, Brasil, and Argentina among many others. In the current day and age, the two dialects use different spellings for various words, and many times completely different words for the same topic. Eastern Armenian has been highly permeated by the Russian language while Western Armenian and Krapar (Classic Armenian) have not. Also, the Eastern Armenian alphabet has been modified at various times under Russian and Soviet rule, with various letters being modified or completely removed to "Russify" the language.

I, on various wikipages, have added the Western Armenian spelling to the pages, as it is relevant to proper understanding of the Armenian language. Listing only one dialect (Eastern) as the language Armenian (hy) is dishonest and disingenuous. It provides an incorrect understanding of the language. My edits are providing a greater understanding - is this not what we are all here to do?

The arguments from two wikiusers are that Western Armenian is not the official language of Armenia (neither is Eastern Armenian - Armenian is the official language) or that Eastern is more widely spoken (which is in fact false). Since when do either of these reasons negate the relevance of a language? And, since when do false arguments hold weight? HyeSK (talk) 09:31, 8 August 2016 (UTC)HyeSK — Preceding unsigned comment added by HyeSK (talk • contribs)

This user had no understanding of Wikipedia policies. Instead of reaching a consensus on the talk page he prefers edit warring. He has one mission here: to make Western Armenian relevant in places where it isn't. Furthermore, he does not seem to be competent in the matter as he confuses different spellings of Armenian with its standardizes forms/dialects. --Երևանցի ^talk 09:39, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Yerevansti - It is clear you do not have a solid grasp of the Armenian language or it's history. There are two (2) standardized forms of the Armenian language - Western and Eastern. This is a fact which anyone is able to easily find. Your arguments are false and have no weight. And, how is Western Armenian "not relevant" when writing in forms of the Armenian language? Please, explain this. I have entered a section in on the talk page of the article, which is posted above.HyeSK (talk) 09:58, 8 August 2016 (UTC)HyeSK

And you don't seem to understand that Երեւան is not the "Western Armenian spelling" but the spelling in the classical/traditional orthography. Iranian Armenians speak Eastern Armenian, but use the aforementioned spelling. Is it really that hard to understand that Western Armenian ≠ classical spelling. --Երևանցի ^talk 22:59, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

It would seem that's one to many by me and also by Xavier Green himself. I get the impression that Xavier is editing the article about related issues while a discussion about these related matters is going on without and before consensus or closure to the argument in progress. It seems to me he should wait for that. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 02:27, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Actually I haven't made any edits to change the page against consensus at all, my reverts of your edits were to restore the page to the status quo on two matters on which there was no consensus to change based on the current ongoing discussion involving those matters on the talk page. In actuality, it is you who have flaunted the dispute resolution process and have made edits contrary to the ongoing discussion on the talk page.XavierGreen (talk) 03:09, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Repeated mass removals of sourced content. Massive edit-warring. Attacking edit-summaries. Will not stop. Dr. K. 16:44, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Yes to the above, I've directed the user to the Talk page several times to no avail. GentleCollapse16 (talk) 16:54, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

• I was going to report both users myself - Both users have taken up the entire history with this pathetic warring, Both users have been here since 2011 and 2012 respectively so therefore should know better and should know edit summaries don't count as a talkpage!, Both haven't discussed it at all and therefore should be blocked. –Davey2010^Talk 17:16, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

• I was thinking about that point myself but then I chose not to report the second user since s/he was restoring a large chunk of the article. But now I see s/he continued reverting even after this report. It doesn't look good but on the talkpage of the article s/he seems to indicate that s/he doesn't want to revert alone any longer. Dr. K. 17:35, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

• To be totally honest Ajax was Bold, He was Reverted and so he should've then Discussed the issue so on a technicality Ajax is at fault however they both edit warred and therefore are as bad as each other, Personally regardless of whether "they said they'll stop" they should be blocked anyway as they've actually taken up 2 pages of wars but that's just my honest opinion. –Davey2010^Talk 18:08, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Again, I'm simply reverting sourced content that's continually being removed, there's nothing contentious about that. I'm not sure why I'd be at fault for it. It'd be nice to have some help protecting the page, is all. GentleCollapse16 (talk) 17:39, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

No. If it is not clear vandalism there is no exemption under the 3RR rule. By continuing the edit-war you risk getting blocked. Dr. K. 17:41, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

• Page protected It was either blocks for both editors or page protection. I chose page protection. Further edit warring after protection expires will likely result in blocks. Uninvolved editors keeping an eye on the article and helping to settle disputes or achieve consensus would be appreciated. NeilN ^{talk to me} 18:18, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Comment: From what I've seen of Ajax1995's history, he is keen on removing things on a WP:IDON'TLIKEIT basis and then edit warring over it. He SHOUTS and generally comes across as unpleasant. All of that needs to stop. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 00:10, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Looking at more of Ajax1995's edits, I don't think it would be unfair to label his editing as WP:Disruptive. He removes some trivia, yes, but he also commonly removes important information and/or leaves parts of an article incoherent. And he will then get defensive about it if you challenge him on it, and we then have something like the edit war you see above. If more than one person reverts him, he is likelier to stop. Once he's done being disruptive at one article, he quickly moves on to the next. I do not think it will be long before this editor is blocked, indefinitely or otherwise. He does not have a good understanding of how this site works. And, NeilN, in addition to what you stated to him about less problematic edit summaries, he clearly needs to extend that to the subjects of the article, if this and this edit summary are any indication. If one is putting themselves out there as protecting our BLPs, they should not be badmouthing the BLPs in the edit summaries. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 00:48, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Comments:

Editor is also editing disruptively by adding bogus warning templates at my own talk page. Diffs here [43], [44], [45]. Not only is he verbatim copying the warnings and comment additions to the warnings I have left at his talk page, one of his edit summaries at my talk page stated, "Lets see who gets blocked". This editor was formerly editing disruptively under the username Wikipedia-Translator.
