    Welcome to the edit warring noticeboard
    Shortcuts
    Update this page

    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.

    User:Sedonafengshui aka User:216.19.43.241 reported by User:Cbramble (Result: Protected)

    Three-revert rule violation on Feng shui (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Time reported: 22:41, 27 May 2008 (UTC) My apologies if I have not completed this correctly; first time having to report this.

    user:Sedonafengshui who is also user:216.19.43.241 and possibly user:67.203.138.58 and myself user:cbramble have been edit warring the article [feng shui] for many days. I user:cbramble am a contributor on WikiProject China and currently reworking feng shui and Luopan. user:sedonafengshui is not a contributor, has a history of conflict of interest, adding irrelevant material, unsourced material, & poorly sourced references, plus what seems to be personal vision of subject (adds more sections that conflict with existing sections).

    user:sedonafengshui just botted me for vandalism.

    Article already protected by User:Gonzo fan2007. EdJohnston (talk) 12:37, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Sixie reported by User:Tuxide (Result: 24 hour block )


    I didn't use the diffs supplied as they would've rendered the report stale, instead, the user last reverted at 8 am UTC, which is close enough for me. I have blocked the user for 24 hours. ScarianCall me Pat! 11:41, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Nosferamus and User:87.6.8.232 reported by User:195.176.178.209 (Result: 24 hour block and page protected )

    87.6.8.232 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), the author of a fifth revert at 12:43, 27 May 2008 is probably a sockpuppet of Nosferamus, who is in turn probably Lupis himself. The list of his sockpuppets on it.wiki, where he was banned for copyvio, original research and vandalism, is here. It includes one (Vostradamus) looking suspiciously similar to Nosferamus. Furthermore, here is a check-user that shows that the address family that Lupis uses on it.wiki is the same as 87.6.8.232.

    * 213.140.22.65 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) vandalised many times, instead of multiple warnings and reverts also made by administrator iridescent, the Marco Lupis voice. This Ip is well-known in Italian Wiki for continuous vandalisms (see: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussioni_utente:213.140.22.65). Same as User:195.176.178.209 --Nosferamus (talk) 10:03, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    please note the 213.240.22.65 IP is shared as it belongs to the Fastweb ISP, which places its customers behind NAT. The other IP does not even have a discussion page on it.wiki. 195.176.178.209 (talk) 10:24, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    *Please also consider to erase references to IP because public association of IP number and real name it is considered a violation by Italian Privacy laws.--Nosferamus (talk) 10:17, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    * IP 195.176.178.209 is obvious the same as 213.140.22.65. Check http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marco_Lupis&action=history : "contributions" are the same. --Nosferamus (talk) 10:30, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Result - I have prot'd the article for 24 hours and blocked Nosferamus for 24, too. ScarianCall me Pat! 11:45, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Boodlesthecat reported by User:Piotrus (Result: 1 week block and 1 warning )

    • Previous version reverted to: Varies, but the first three restore the same piece of information (recently removed by other editors) and the last two remove a piece of information added by another editor.


    Despite two very recent (and several day long) blocks for 3RR violations (on an article that is now protected), this user seems to have just moved to revert war on another article. In addition, he is highly uncivil in his edit summaries and on talk, making any compromise difficult (ex. [1]).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 10:45, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    I have blocked Boodlesthecat for 1 week and warned another user who is dangerously close to violating 3RR. ScarianCall me Pat! 11:50, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]


    User:Domer48 reported by User:Wotapalaver (Result: Suggested voluntary article bans )

    • Previous version reverted to: [2]

    The version reverted to varies. The aim is consistent in all cases; to remove any overview or summary of the famine from the article.

    The Article is the subject of an ARBCOM ruling, so although the 4 edits are not within 24 hours I feel it's worth reporting the reverting behaviour. Also, the talk page contributions suggest that further reversions/deletions are likely.


    • 1st revert: [3] - removing the timeline of the famine from the article
    • 2nd revert: [4] - removing the timeline of the famine from the article again
    • 3rd revert: [5] - deleting the lead section, which was a variant of the bullet-point-formatted timeline turned into a lead section.
    • 4th revert: [6] - deleting the lead section again.
    Working on a settlement now. ScarianCall me Pat! 13:26, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay, both users were given a final edit warring warning by User:Daniel. Instead of blocking, I have asked them both if they would take a voluntary break from editing The Great Hunger. Let's see if this works. ScarianCall me Pat! 13:32, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Okay, I will not be accepting your suggestion of a voluntary break from editing The Great Hunger. Based on a puerile 3RR report from a disruptive editor, who themselves conceded the fact that I did not breach our rules on 3RR here on my talk page. Now even a cursory glance at the talk page both here and here clearly shows I have studiously used the Talk Page in an attempt to address the issues concerned. Now your lack of attention resulted in the erroneous suggestion that I “refused to heed” a warning, when a look at the talk page clearly shows this not to be the case. So based on the fact that I did not refuse to heed a warning, and that a baseless 3RR report was filed, your suggestion is premature and uncalled for.--Domer48 (talk) 16:32, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]


    User:7thkid reported by FelisLeoTalk! (Result: 24 hour block )

    Caroline's Spine (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). 7thkid (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log): Time reported: 19:13, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    User keeps reverting to a blank page. After last vandalism warning he added an edit summary stating its an incorrect version of te facts. I re-reverted including the message to provide proof before blanking.

    User:Starimmanuel reported by User:Canadian Monkey (Result: Already blocked)



    User is similarly edit warring over this content at 2006 Lebanon War

    Already blocked indef by Tiptoety. EdJohnston (talk) 18:37, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Nickhh reported by User:Julia1987 (Result: No vio, malformed report)

    5th is the revert of this edit [30] this is the revert: [31]

    4th : partial revert of he words without pay [32] is here : [33]

    3rd: full revert: [34]


    2nd: partial revert of this: [35],[36] is here: [37],[38]


    1st: partial revert of [39] is here: [40]

    there are more, just look: [41]

    --Julia1987 (talk) 18:56, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    noncando these are partial reverts. --Julia1987 (talk) 19:28, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    No violation There are enough edits by User:Nickh that they might add up to four reverts. However we can't reach that total unless we say that his revert of Category:Brainwashing techniques is something he should not have done. There is (a) no word 'brainwashing' in the text of this article, (b) no evidence offered that brainwashing occurred, (c) nothing on the Talk page. Since this removal is the kind of thing an admin might have done anyway, I decline to count this removal as one of four reverts. EdJohnston (talk) 20:03, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    count again. enough reverts without that one. Julia1987 (talk) 21:10, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    There are only four groups of consecutive edits by Nickh in the period under discussion. Each group counts as at most one revert, under our rules. Since one of the reverts is not being counted, per policy, there are at most three reverts. EdJohnston (talk) 21:21, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    The category appears to have been added by another editor as a means of disruptively making a point, as the article has nothing to do with "brainwashing techniques". -- ChrisO (talk) 08:18, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    OK. Thanks for checking. --Julia1987 (talk) 10:12, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]


    User:AI009 reported by User:Ijanderson977 (Result:no block for now)


    AI009 has violated WP:3RR. He/she keeps on deleting well sourced infomation as this does not suit his WP:POV. It is information which suggests for Russia to seem as a potential super power. If you look at the talk page you will see that he/she appears not to like Russia. So not only is he in violation of WP:3RR, he also violates WP:NPOV, due to WP:IDONTLIKEIT.
    I have given him/her a warning.



    • Diff of 3RR warning: [46]

    Ijanderson977 (talk) 22:23, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • It looks to me like the user has not reverted since being warned, so no block for now. I'm watchlisting the article so I can block if the user or 24.180.3.127, who also looks to me to have violated 3RR (but hasn't reverted since being warned), reverts again. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 22:40, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]


    User:Thetriforcehero reported by User:Kariteh (Result: 24 hours)

    User:Youcallhimdoctorjones reported by User:Alientraveller (Result: 24 and 31 hour blocks )



    Result - I have blocked both users (24 & 31 hours) for violating 3RR. ScarianCall me Pat! 13:36, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    User:HAl reported by User:AlbinoFerret (Result: 1 week block )



    Previous warnings used to show knowledge of the rule.

    Previous bans for 3rr violation

    Stale report of another 3RR violation proving additional proof of edit waring. [51]

    HAl has a history of edit warring and using reverting as a edit style. He has been been banned twice before for reverts to this same page. He continues to revert anything he doesn't agree with.AlbinoFerret (talk) 19:48, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Blocked known edit warrer for 1 week. He also committed a few "crimes" against WP:MOS by openly citing himself in plain view of the text which is completely wrong. ScarianCall me Pat! 20:14, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    User:John celona reported by User:Ebyabe (Result: Protected)



    Reversion is over adding Ridgeston's real name. John celona is adding it with a source. However, there appears to be a history where Ridgeston does not wish his real name to be in the article (please see the article's talk page). At this point, I can't say who is right, but thought it needed to be reported here in any case. Thanks.

    Page protected I see no evidence that the dispute over disclosure of the actor's real name has ever been submitted to a noticeboard. I've protected the article for a week, and invite one or both parties to submit the issue at WP:BLP/N. If no effort is made to get general opinions on that, I believe this falls back into our jurisdiction and we should start enforcing 3RR against whoever violates it.

    You've now got an obvious sockpuppet reverting the article again. [53] Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 20:41, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    And a second one has emerged [54] for the obvious purpose of re-posting that absurd POV tag and counting on other users not to violate 3RR themselves. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 21:27, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    TaiChiChuan (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) and JulieKO (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) have now also been blocked 24 hours. For background on the WP:MEAT issue, see a discussion of their plans at Talk:Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull#Prejudice. In the words of TaiChiChuan, referring to JTW, ..when he said he was blocked Jules and I laughed and said we'd help him. EdJohnston (talk) 22:31, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
