    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 {{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.

    Page: To many to list
    User being reported: Omar-toons (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)


    Previous version reverted to: [diff preferred, link permitted]

    Diffs of the user's reverts: Too many to list, I'll provide examples bellow.

    Comments:

    Omor on a massive scale replaced "{{flag|Western Sahara}}" with {{noflag}} [[Western Sahara]]. User:Koavf then [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_countries_by_electricity_exports&diff=next&oldid=547584821 reverted Omor's edits. Omor then reverted the reverts. I today reverted that revert of a revert and asked Omor to discuss if he wanted WP to start using {{noflag}} [[Western Sahara]] instead of "{{flag|Western Sahara}}". Instead of discussing he re-reverted. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 00:33, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    I just found out that User:Scheridon reverted one of Omor's edits too. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 00:39, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    precision: 1 edit + 1 revert (of a well known POV pusher, aka Koavf) in 48 hours [1], not a 3R case. --Omar-toons (talk) 00:59, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    1 Omor's edits + 1 revert of Omor's edits + 1 Omor re-reverting + 1 revert of Omor's edits and asking Omor to discuss + 1 Omor's re-reverting (all this on a massive scale across a number of articles). Scheridon arguably adds another revert of Omor's edits and 1 Omor re-reverting. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 01:09, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Blocked – 48 hours for long-term edit warring. EdJohnston (talk) 01:52, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    User:50.75.234.202 reported by User:George Ho (Result: Semi)

    Page: George Maharis (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

    Diffs of the user's reverts:

    2. [3]
    3. [4]
    4. [5]

    Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: [link] Unnecessary; also, 3RR messages are ugly.

    Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: That user filed a dispute in the BLP noticeboard.

    Comments:
    There have been past discussions about the subject's arrest. They have ignored them in favor of fresher one. See more at Talk:George Maharis. Also, I made request for protection in WP:RPP. --George Ho (talk) 00:47, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    I hope I didn't violate 3RR rule, did I? --George Ho (talk) 01:03, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Result: Semiprotected one month. It is up to editor discretion whether this information stays or goes. Factors working against it would be that 'indecency' was one of the charges, but it was dropped and he pleaded guilty only to trespassing. The information about the plea is adequately sourced, but in the past, consensus has often favored excluding such material. The motive for *including* the charge seems to be to allow inference about the actor's sexuality. There is no other mention of his sexuality in the article. 'Being a matter of public record' is not by itself a reason for inclusion. It is awkward if it turns out that Wikipedia is the vehicle for outing someone who has not volunteered for that. Consider opening an WP:RFC on the article talk, or on the talk page of a WikiProject. EdJohnston (talk) 16:42, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Are other arrests also banned? For example, the DUI or drug arrests of celebrities? I don't see that. This seems to be banned because it is considered more "distasteful" than those, when it is of equal significance in the celebrity's life. Pee Wee Herman's entry has an entire section on his arrest for exactly the same reason! 50.75.234.202 (talk) 16:54, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Comments:
    User keeps reverting the sourced content despite the fact that reliability of the source has been established in WP:RSN (link) Kazemita1 (talk) 00:52, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    i am edit warring no more than jazemita who keeps wanting ti add his edit while discussions are still ongoing on RSN with some inresolved issues.Suenahrme (talk) 01:49, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Nothing could be further from truth. The discussion is closed in WP:RSN with no one on your side.Kazemita1 (talk) 23:40, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    No its not closed because there are still questions that need answering on RSN. like why is your so called RS stating that misyar is temporary when it clearly is pernanent. And from that how such permanebt marruage can ever be conpared to tenporary muta and a purely sexual gratification role? Also just because the publisher is RS does it mean that any content no matter how false can be pirtrayed as truth on wiki? All these important issues need discussion & addressing.Suenahrme (talk) 23:56, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Result: 24 hours for long-term edit warring. The editor made five reverts since 27 March. I was hoping that discussions would make a block unnecessary, but the editor displays no awareness that he needs reliable sources for article statements. From his comment just above, he *personally knows* that misyar is permanent, therefore Kazemita1's 'so-called RS' has to be mistaken. Since he is sure that he is correct, he goes ahead and removes the source that comes from Oxford University Press, which was already approved at WP:RS/N.

    Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [diff]

    Comments:

    This has been an ongoing issue with this User:DVMt. First of all, "Philosophy of Chiropractic" isn't philosophy. Second, the references don't support this usage. Third, the content appears to be a way to avoid criticism by people who do not support chiropratic (which is ironic, since otherwise that would be legitimate philosophy). Fourth, why the capitalization? If this doesn't qualify as a 3RR violation, then could someone step in and help out here, please? Greg Bard (talk) 01:26, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    I'm not seeing an actual WP:3RR violation here. You could be wanting to file a complaint about long-term edit warring but that needs more data. Since the editor has already been warned under WP:ARBPS, various restrictions could be imposed if they were justified. It is too soon to tell whether the AfD discussion will allow a separate article on the philosophy of chiropractic. EdJohnston (talk) 00:57, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Ngoesseringer (talk) 11:30, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    • Result: In lieu of blocking two people for 3RR I will close this with no action. It's been 12 hours since the last revert. Be aware that there is no 3RR exception for either adding or removing low-quality sources. Perhaps the AfD discussion will lead to enlightenment. If the dispute continues, the next admin may take a harder look at the conduct of editors. Being new is not a license to behave badly. EdJohnston (talk) 00:40, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [25] This is the discussion about the same thing that the user was trying to add, I invited him to the talk page [26] [27]

    Comments: I have invited the editor to the talk page as there was already a discussion going on about the same topic that this editor wants to add. The editor neither uses his talk page or the article's talk page. We just cannot have a discussion using edit summaries --sarvajna (talk) 10:27, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    • Result: 24 hours for long-term warring. Gzyo wants to give prominent coverage to the Other Backward Caste designation for Narendra Modi, which he repeatedly adds to the article lead. He has inserted or reinserted this information five times since 20 March, so I'm treating this as a case of long-term warrring. Since he never participates on talk pages we can't tell whether his campaign has stopped. EdJohnston (talk) 14:09, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Bobrayner reported by Evlekis (Result: Warned)

    Page: Republika Srpska (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
    User being reported: Bobrayner (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)


    Four reverts inside 24hrs violating 3RR.


    Proof that this is edit-warring is confirmed by the fact that even these four revision immediately follow the first blanking session[35], there is no indication that this user is on the brink of stopping for a break. Furthermore, conversation is taking place here and these actions have been disruptive for User:FkpCascais too. This is not the only area within the ARBMAC range in which Bobrayner is abusing his free editing privileges but is the only one I wish to concentrate on for the time being. Hopefully the outcome should induce a more constructive side to his editing from here on. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 18:55, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    • I freely confess to having walked into the trap set by Evlekis; Evlekis and FKPCascais were tag-teaming to reinsert factual errors into the article. I would self-revert if that were possible, but somebody else has already joined in.. Taking the article to a noticeboard might help; if uninvolved, competent editors have a look at the problem I am confident that they would solve it, as long as Evlekis and FKPCascais can keep their fingers off the revert button.
    • I would also point out that Evlekis is on a 1RR restriction due to previous editwarring problems; a few hours after Evlekis did their revert, a mysterious IP in the same country as Evlekis appeared to do another revert on Evlekis' behalf.
    • Note how Evlekis made no attempt to solve the problem, instead just hammering the revert button to restore factual errors. Here Evlekis comes to FKPCascais' support by arguing that we don't need no steenkeeng sources anyway. Here Evlekis changes tack and argues that actually we should follow sources, which is unfortunately impossible to reconcile with this revert by Evlekis which did the opposite; here Evlekis seems to be arguing that it's OK to revert factual errors into this article because he disagrees with me on a different article.
    • Evlekis recently seems to have got very upset with me about some other articles; although getting me blocked for editwarring might in the short term help keep the factual errors that Evlekis wants in the Republika Srpska article, I'm concerned that this ANEW thread is more motivated by a feud that has spilled over from other articles. bobrayner (talk) 19:10, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Wooo hold your horses, I never said "block", I never even suggested topic ban. Furthermore, I am not using this thread to go into that wider and uglier issue, I am not even going to broach that subject. I raised this not because of the violation but because it was the same approach each time - mass blanking - and the last time even ran over another user's edit when he listed ICTY correctly. Now if you simply tell the world your problem and how best to fix it without deleting it (ie. use that talk page positively instead of justifying the blanking) then I am happy to forget this incident and will even help with the mending of the problem on the article, I am not hell bent of upholding that very revision you have been blanking. If not, then that option is not open to me. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 19:34, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, you did talk about abuse of editing privileges. Anyway. Could you answer a couple of questions?
    • Are you on a 1RR restriction due to previous editwarring?
    • How do you explain the IP address which came along to perform a revert on your behalf, a few hours after your first revert?
    bobrayner (talk) 19:40, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Evlekis, this article that not the only problem. I noticed that user Bobrayner removes very much data from Wikipedia, also with sources (for example: links to edits from last 26 hours: [36], [37], [38], [39], [40], [41], [42], [43], [44] - WOW) and in most cases, without consensus. If anyone withdraws its editions, Bobrayner starts an edit war. Clearly, consensus and later changes for him does not exist. Bobrayner, currently the best way of resolving disputes is Wikipedia:CYCLE, namely: edit, revert, discuss cycle; not to push own new version without consensus. Subtropical-man (talk) 19:41, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Lately I've been cleaning up quite a lot of different articles. This has, alas, led to friction with Subtropical-man who is insistent on keeping very long unsourced lists of skyscrapers, and who has subsequently followed me round to pick fights on unrelated pages (I do not know whether Subtropical-man has stalked the other editors who also wanted to trim his lists). Bravo, Subtropical-man. Alas, if you put as much effort into complying with WP:V as you did into following me round looking for other places to cause trouble, your skyscraper lists would be much better. A look at my recent contribs will show a very different picture to what Subtropical-man presents; make your own mind up. bobrayner (talk) 19:50, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • I removed skyscrapers without sources or separate articles. I left skyscrapers that have a sources or separate articles with sources. You removed skyscrapers with sources because you push own version without consensus and talking about lack of sources. Also, you enter data without articles and sources, for example: Sinpas Bomonti and Park Arkon Residence 1 and you left skyscrapers between 300 and 150 meters without sources which proves that you just pushing own new version. However, an article about skyscrapers is the tip of the iceberg. You removes very much data from Wikipedia, also with sources and in most cases, without consensus. If anyone withdraws its editions, you starts an edit war. This is a big problem. If someone withdraws your new changes, first discuss and wait for consensus. Subtropical-man (talk) 19:55, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Answer to Bobrayner's questions. 1) Yes. 2) Pass. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 19:44, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • So, just to clarify: You're on a 1RR restriction due to previous editwarring problems, but you're refusing to explain why an IP in the same area as you turned up to perform a revert on your behalf, a few hours after your revert...? bobrayner (talk) 19:54, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    No, to clarify, the answer to your question is I don't know. That is the answer. Don't put words in my mouth. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 20:03, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    The behavior of bobrayner is absolutely unacceptable. The section he insists to remove is sourced. He claims some numbers are wrong and uses that pretext to remove the entire section, which is a no-no. I invited him to fix the problems if he sees some, but he refuses to do so and keeps on removing the entire section and the source. He clearly abused the WP:3RR, a rule he is clearly well familiarised with, so no excuse. FkpCascais (talk) 19:56, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    FkpCascais, I agree with you but the case is probably a foregone conclusion. User Bobrayner continues edit-wars [45] in other articles during the course of affairs in the AN/I in his case. User Bobrayner is incorrigible, I see no chance of improving his behavior. Subtropical-man (talk) 20:11, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    I know Subtropical-man, I am aware of his conduct and I tend to agree with you. FkpCascais (talk) 20:37, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Well it is sourced now. I have corrected the numbers to match the source being used. But FkP, please, let's not forget why this discussion is happening. It has nothing to do with the editor disputing the information, tagging it, questioning the source, making adjustments per the source in question or looking for other citations, nor any of the other million or so good faith solutions, it is about blanking the section as though it were blatant vandalism. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 20:07, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    @Subtropical-man. Absolutely shocking. Now there is a vacuum on the article, and yet Bobrayner had the choice of adding a tag label to the top of the section if he felt there were issues (OR, POV, Unsourced, etc.) and yet blanks the section, his trademark. Yet who needs sources on those pages anyway? I see the items have wikilinks to their own articles and each one I have seen belongs to that table which currently does not stand thanks to our friend. He fails to realise how hard people work to build these sections, how much time is taken and moreover how many editors over such long periods are involved in these efforts, one click, gone.

    • Thanks for fixing the figures. Why couldn't you do that in the first place, instead of insisting on putting factual errors back into the article and creating this thread when I removed the factual errors? Personally, I don't care whether or not figures are in the article, as long as they actually agree with what the source says; but if you want to add stuff it's your responsibility to make sure that it's actually true. Pretty simple stuff. bobrayner (talk) 22:43, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    If you knew the figures were wrong, it stands to reason you must have had access to the correct information. The numbers themselves being incorrect didn't mean that the items in the list were erroneously reported so it was equally wrong to blank them. There are labels and tags that deal with that scenario. Nevertheless, as you have now acknowledged an end to the blanking sessions I am happy to leave a note for the closing admin that the problem has been resolved and that I seek no further action. If this is your wish too. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 23:39, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Warned. I'm closing this because the content dispute appears to be resolved. However, Bobrayner is warned to be more careful in the future. It's one thing to say that I miscounted or I got carried away and violated 3RR. It's another thing to say that I fell into a "trap", which is hardly an acknowledgment of responsibility. In addition, Evlekis is warned about violating his 1RR restriction. I don't know whether the IP is Evlekis, but I agree it's very suspicious. In addition, Evlekis's response of "pass" is hardly a resounding, "No, that wasn't me." Neither is the subsequent, "I don't know."--Bbb23 (talk) 11:14, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    I asked for protection of this page and they told me, I have to report it here. This is not 3RR yet but this user uses multiple IPs and accounts, I can't talk to him/her since he changed his IP everyday. I gave him clear reference for my edit. but he still removed my references and gave me a speech in edit summary instead of even reading my reference.Mohsen1248 (talk) 09:55, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Mohsen, stop being your own rule nazi. I believe a lot of people in this community are very angry with you because you have applied tyrant-style editing in Wikipedia. You revert pretty much everything that you don't like, whether is volleyball, soccer, basketball, the Olympics or just the style of editing. Come on, get a life! What are you trying to show us? You are the KING of Wikipedia?
    BTW I did check your source, I checked it more than once. It's not the one used by NORCECA. The original author has put up the correct source. Your source only has 28 ranked teams (excluding the Top 6 which receive bye in the 1st and 2nd round), which doesn't even match the correct number of entries you try so desperately to protect (34 entries).
    I take this opportunity to formally report you, as I should have done a long time ago. 101.119.30.50 (talk) 11:03, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
