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:
This report is really unnecessary. I made the bold move to rename the page 'AS Val and VSS Vintorez' to "VSS and AS" because that is their respective official nomenclature. You reverted it due to an issue of 'COMMON NAME'. Then we had a discussion on the talk page where I suggested to rename the article to 'VSS (Vintorez) and AS (Val)' as a middle ground option. You did not bother to leave a comment on my suggestion. So after a week I took the liberty to assume you were fine with that change. Thus, I moved the page to 'VSS (Vintorez) and AS (Val)'. The new tittle does not contradict the common name rule and at the same time gives distinction to the rifles official designation and their project names (Vintorez and Val). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guns & Glory (talk • contribs) 00:59, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

To add. I did not make multiple reverts within the span of 24 hours. I did not revert anything at all. I simply moved the page to a more accurate name, Guns & Glory (talk) 01:48, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

Guns & Glory, your undiscussed re-move after move protection was a disruptive action to take. See WP:RMCM for instructions. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 11:51, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
