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.

Editor was warned for edit warring to restore POV/original research content on the BLP in question. They have been repeatedly warned about falsely accusing other editors of vandalism, an action they have repeated despite these warnings. Further, they engaged in now-oversighted harassment on their talk page. Their only engagement in the article talk page discussion has been to reiterate their accusations of vandalism; after making this accusation, they again restored the content without any consensus to do so.

Presently stonewalling in favor of what is obviously unacceptable prose, after a pattern of edit warring that began several weeks ago but kicked into gear yesterday. Remsense诉 08:32, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

I quite literally never got a good reason to remove my edits. My edits were randomly removed, without a proper reason dragging me into a stupid edit war, where I have tried to make the situation better by changing my edits to compromise. And the first edit skirmish I had, was never resolved as the user I had the skirmish with never responded, thus not allowing there to be a solution. Grizi fu (talk) 08:54, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Also I agreed to calm down and accept the other position. Grizi fu (talk) 13:00, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

• Warned given that Grizi fu has agreed to "calm down and accept the other position", I don't think further action is required at this point. I urge all parties to continue the discussion at Talk:Deng Xiaoping and look for compromises / find consensus for the way forward. However, there was a clear WP:3RR breach here, so Grizi fu you need to stop reverting now and concentrate on dialogue. Further edit warring will be met with a block.  — Amakuru (talk) 13:06, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Comments:
Multiple editors have engaged in edit warring across SpaceX Starship-related articles, but Redacted II has performed a large number of reverts with little attempt to engage in discussion or after a discussion was started. While a slow edit war and not a strict violation of 3RR, this editor is violating the spirit of the rule. Redacted II was warned of this type of violation and ownership-asserting behavior by ToBeFree after their last block. After multiple warnings for edit warring, they are well informed of the rules.

This report is for the SpaceX Starship article, but I provided diffs of two additional articles and the mention of the edit war at SpaceX Starship flight tests to provide the additional context that this editor has and continues to engage in edit warring across the SpaceX Starship topic. A temporary topic ban may be warranted. Redraiderengineer (talk) 23:36, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Starship Revert 1: the editor who made the reverted edit was clearly vandalizing the article, given that they also added "Going to Mars in may 2024 and going to the moon in may 2024 and there will be 200 people on mars in may 2024 and 160 people on the moon in may 2024 and moon base and mars base will happen in may 2024", with the edit descript being "ben".

Starship Revert 2: An editor removed IFT-3 entirely from the infobox, so I readded it.

Starship Revert 3: An IP made a good-faith edit matching RVac ISP in Starship article to that of Raptor, Since the source they used was almost a decade out of date, I did the opposite, and corrected the value in Raptor to the more recent once.

Starship Revert 4: the edit changing outcome to Partial Failure was mentioned here by Fehér Zsigmond-3, so I reverted it.

Starship Revert 5, IFT-3 Reverts 2 and 3, Super Heavy Lift Launch Vehicle Revert 8, : Look at the report directly above this one. The user who made the reverted edit is now indef-banned.

Super Heavy Lift Launch Vehicle Reverts 1-6: the issue was resolved shortly after, and a misconception I had on edit warring was corrected.

Super Heavy Lift Launch Vehicle Reverts 7: reverted to follow status quo, and reminded editor of that rule in edit descript.

The only connection between these reverts is readding sourced content, and reverting vandalism. The 3RR rule, as mentioned by RedRaider, was never violated, and for many of these reverts, there was already a discussion occurring at SpaceX Starship. Additionally, ignoring the edits by the now-banned disruptive editor, and the reverts prior to being corrected by ToBeFree, no second revert occured. Redacted II (talk) 00:00, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Tagging @Me Da Wikipedian, @IlkkaP, @Andyjsmith, and @Fehér Zsigmond-03 so that they can give their opinions on this. Redacted II (talk) 00:06, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Well in my opinion, Redacted II was definitely active, with many of his edits being reverts. And on the outside it does look like an edit war. However, as he said, many of his reverts were of misclassifying of Ift-3, so those are justified. And if people keep on doing something that has to be reverted, he did it. The accusation mainly come from (as far as I can see) from his Bold behaviour. If he saw something, he fixed it. What im trying to say is that he had the best of intentions, but overdid it. So if he tells people about whats happening and doesnt always act immediately, it would be fine.

Thank you for reading my argument defending Redacted II, and I hope this gets resolved soon. Fehér Zsigmond-03 (talk) 09:55, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

• Redacted II didn't revert the Mars/Moon vandalism. 103.211.18.23 made that revert. (I'm using their word, but editors should assume good faith and start a discussion.) Other claims of vandalism are not substantiated.
• The rest of the explanations are not exemptions to edit warring. The other editor wasn't indefinitely blocked at the time of Redacted II's reverts, and in some instances, their edits added sources (reliable or unreliable - that could have been discussed instead of edit warring). However, Redacted II called these "unconstructive edit[s]" based on their preferred version. For example, at Starship HLS, Redacted II reverted an edit referring to IFT-3 as "the most successful [test flight] to date" with a March 2024 article from The Washington Post as the reference. Redacted II replaced that sentence in their revert with "successfully reaching orbit for the first time in March 2024." However, Redacted II's source is from January 2024 (before IFT-3 launched in March 2024) and doesn't support the claim.

21:43, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

• Redacted II reverted Natg 19 twice on the SpaceX Starship talk page. Including the reverts above, this is four reverts within a 24-hour period between SpaceX Starship and its talk page.

17:15, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

17:22, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

• ToBeFree warned Redacted II on 27 March, 2024, but twelve of the nineteen reverts mentioned in this discussion occurred after that warning.
• Redacted II involvement in this edit war was similar to the other editor that was indefinitely blocked (the other editor didn't appear to violate 3RR and this was their first warning), but unlike the other editor, Redacted II has been warned multiple times. Policies should apply equally.

So I make an edit and people continuously commit vandalism removing my content for no reason and I'm the one blocked from editing? I can't revert vandalism to improvements to an article? MonsterMash51 (talk) 01:26, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

It isn't the other users that are doing it. Also, you are the one who is engaging in the edit war. User:Hamterous1 (discuss anything!🐹✈️) 01:39, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

I made a good faith edit. It was reverted 3 times without explanation. I restored the content I added because it looked like vandalism to directly revert a change I made without comment. People then started to say the language was biased (don't know how that is) and so I added a source and some more info. MonsterMash51 (talk) 01:46, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

MonsterMash51, the explanations are there on your talk page. Yes, that language is biased: it's your own opinion. Now, if you don't know that Wikipedia isn't for expressing opinions, and if you don't know what counts as vandalism here (those reverts do not count as vandalism: look it up, at WP:VANDAL), then, eh, you haven't learned much in the fourteen years that you've been here, and I'd say you got lucky with only a partial block. Drmies (talk) 01:50, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

The total reverts to my edit exceed the 3 revert rule. Why is that other users can remove content and their version is allowed to stand and my reverts to restore the content are the ones that are moderated? MonsterMash51 (talk) 01:49, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Oh, I'll take that too. Surely you have learned along the way that Wikipedia is a collaborative project. You were reverted by at least two editors, right? That means you are obviously editing against consensus--all the more reason for you to count your blessings with the light block you received. Finally, and I'll say it again, your content broke neutrality rules. That doesn't really matter for the edit warring, but it does indicate why your edit will not make it into article space. Drmies (talk) 01:53, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

It is not my opinion. The votes were 51-49 along party lines. The articles allege dereliction of duty, violating immigration law, perjury, and contempt of Congress. The infobox includes this information. Would it then not be false to say that the articles do not allege crimes or misdemeanors? Including the information about the republicans staying after is not an opinion either, it's just a statement of fact. I don't see how Wikipedia is served by blanket reverting facts and to claim facts are biased. I was not aware of the 3RR before today but it should apply both ways.

Became suddenly active, currently doing disruptive editing at many articles. Potential edit warring at Umayyad campaigns in India too where the user is continuously reverting to a version, which has been reverted by several other editors earlier for its non neutral nature.Imperial^[AFCND] 12:54, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

• Blocked – for a period of one week. I almost blocked indefinitely as the user has been disruptive since they created their account on on March 19, 2024.Bbb23 (talk) 14:08, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

  It is similar to another user. I've reported a sockpuppet investigation on this, with evidences. The pattern is again similar. Imperial^[AFCND] 14:20, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Comments:

Your complaint was regarding supposedly un-WP:NPOV language in the section that I added about O'Neill's views on abortion. However, when you reverted that edit, you also removed all of the additional sources that I had added to other parts of the article - sources which you had no business removing, as they had nothing to do with your complaints over my supposedly "flattering" language in the abortion section. In my last edit, I restored those sources, but removed the section about abortion until we can work something out regarding the language that I used.--LadybugStardust (talk) 19:18, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

As I explained on both your talk page, my talk page, and the article's talk page, the article's talk page is the place to discuss this. You do not have consensus for those changes and you should not be edit warring even if you think you are correct. Grayfell (talk) 19:21, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

And I am discussing it on the article's talk page right now. You still haven't given any reason why you removed my additional sources from the other parts of the article, though.--LadybugStardust (talk) 19:23, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Note that LadybugStardust is now up to 7 reverts (the most recent shortly outside the 24-hour window), this time restoring a self-published source about a third party (Greta Thunberg) that was criticized for his negative comments about her. Woodroar (talk) 01:54, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Reverts 3 and 4 are just outside the 24-hour window, so I'm bringing this here for a second opinion. Normally I'd protect, but that's not really an option for recent P:CE subpages. —Cryptic 20:28, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

The question of whether to include the Taylor Swift material is also being discussed in a thread at Portal talk. EdJohnston (talk) 20:58, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
