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.

They have been told that changing something that is in line source cited and has a fully formed/sourced wiki article at the very least needs to start in the talk page. I gave more detailed info on their talk page with a plea for them to go through the proper steps. Their response was to accuse me in their last revision of being the reason the terms disagree with what they think they should say. Warned about edit warring.

Comments:
User does not source and does drastic changes to the content of article without so much as a edit summary. I accidentally reverted another user's edit, USER:StarkReport, who was merely attempting to fix USER:Khassanu unsourced changes. I apologized profusely to USER:StarkReport which can be seen in my talk page.User:Khassanu refuses to use article talk page and doesn't respond in user talk page.RCSCott91 (talk) 23:31, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Comments:
User is more than likely a sock of an IP blocked last month for disruptive behavior/edit warring/etc - this specific IP was also already reported yesterday at WP:ANI for block evasion, but no action has been taken yet, and they're continuing to actively disrupt articles (as seen in this report). As for attempts to resolve the edit war/discussion/etc, see the original IP's repeatedly-blanked talk page as well as this whole thread, which led to the initial IP's block, and this other ANI report from their first attempt at block evasion - while not specifically dealing with Walcott himself, it does deal with their refusal to accept the consensus of an RM on NHL entry draft titles (part of the Walcott edit war) as well as their edit-warring on other pages.
