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.

Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: [7]

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: in every revert's edit comment, and on Tracktuer's talk page.

Comments:
These are the exact same edits Trackteur persistently made for which he was slapped with a two-week block—immediately after getting off the block he went back to making the same edits with broken English, repeatedly restoring "print run of 60,000 in French language" no matter how many times he has been told that it is incorrect English—I can't imagine why he would think such wording is acceptable. He tries to hide what he's doing with edit comments like "répétition, space", which have nothing to do with what he's doing to the article. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 12:07, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

I was the blocking admin the last time, and having looked through his edits to this article from the end of January up until today I'm not so sure he should be blocked. He has quite a lot of good contribs to it, both before and after the block, and I frankly don't see the issue with the last diff[8]; he removed a duplicated or redundant part of the lead, and that's a good thing in my opinion. I'd like to hear from others on this; as an alternative to blocking some kind of restriction (1RR) might be a better solution for the encyclopedia. I'd also like a comment from Trackteur on this if possible. Bjelleklang - talk 21:27, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Please look more closely—he replaced "print run of 60,000 in only French" with "print run of 60,000 in French language", which he has done repeatedly, despite being told over and over that this is broken English. I assume it's okay to fix it? Or am I now to be blocked again? Let's remember that Competence is required, and when an editor's English skills are not up to the task, they should step aside and let those of us who know what they're doing handle things. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 21:57, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello, English is not my native language, and if it is the only topic to discuss, there is no problem criticizing me for that; but when I see the diff [9]; like that I make sure to remove this completely unnecessary redundancy. I just think it might be better cooperation between contributors and Curly Turkey could just rectify my language mistakes instead of proceeding to simple cancellations. Moreover, I note that he gave up his version, which contains some more errors, without any discussion on the page provided for this purpose --> (1RR).

Bjelleklang, thank you for your understanding, especially for your solution on Arpanet to first focus on the readers, not the contributors. Trackteur (talk) 12:56, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

User being reported: Harald Forkbeard (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and CorporateM (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Reporting myself and Herald. The edit-war is regarding this edit, where Harald Forkbeard is insisting that court records are admissible sources. Since this is not a BLP, technically I need to report myself, but I don't see any reason not to follow the same procedure as we would for BLPs and protect the page. After which point someone (perhaps me, perhaps someone else) can explain on the Talk page the whole bit about secondary sources. CorporateM (Talk) 09:41, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Comments:

• The request for a layman historian interpretation of a court case appears nonsensical to me. I would request an explanation of this requirement on the article talk page. Besides, the source reporting the court case is secondary in nature, as indicated by the URL of the reporting website, used as the reference in the article.--Harald Forkbeard (talk) 10:09, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

• Hey, I was just commenting at User talk:CorporateM#Your Sagework court case reverts where these two have been discussing, and requesting discussion instead at Talk:Sageworks#Lawsuits and sources that I opened. I would rather the article not be protected so that I and others could make other edits, leaving the contended section about lawsuits alone. I hope/expect the two editors can discuss there, and that no admin action here is needed. If both discuss there, this might be closed "Result: negotiating" or the like. (Otherwise, by my count CorporateM is one revert ahead in the back-and-forth editing, because HF added material and CorporateM began the revert sequence by removing it.) --doncram 11:03, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Result: Fully protected three days due to edit warring. I reverted the article to a previous version which lacks the phrase "without the explicit permission being obtained from the business owners." This amounts to stating in Wikipedia's voice that Sageworks misuses information that has been confided to them. The source does *not* make this statement. The edits of User:Harald Forkbeard don't seem to fully comply with Wikipedia policy, for instance wanting to mention a copyright lawsuit sourced only to court records, and whose significance to the world is unknown. He appears to think that Sageworks' data protection policies are ethically lacking. Does he think the CFOs who submit the information are misbehaving, or that they don't know how the data they submit is going to be used? If this were a BLP article, the unsourced negative information would have to come straight out, and I think this is a similar case. Please use the talk page to negotiate the wording, and use WP:RSN if the quality of sources is an issue. EdJohnston (talk) 23:30, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

The issue is that Sageworks collects data without explicit consent from the business owners. Instead, it gathers the data from the professional advisers, who are not the actual owners. At a guess, this is teetering on the brink of a law suit at the best of times. I believe this should be spelled out in the article.

As to the law suit, it seems reasonable that a copyright dispute is a noteworthy challenge that should be mentioned in the article. This company is unlikely to attract the attention of secondary sources, as you seem to demand.--Harald Forkbeard (talk) 00:14, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

(1) Business owner hires an accounting firm, and provides their confidential data. (2) Accountant then gives the data to Sageworks *without the owner's permission?* Do you have a reference for that? EdJohnston (talk) 00:25, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I do - the reference already provided (and deleted) for the article: [10].

Software vendors must obtain explicit consent from the owners of the data, not their professional advisers. --Harald Forkbeard (talk) 02:51, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Business owners hire accountants to help with tax returns and financial advice. Not to disclose their private data to third parties such as Sageworks.--Harald Forkbeard (talk) 02:50, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Please review the Sageworks Talk Page Talk:Sageworks for excerpts from the referenced paper detailing the lack of business owner consent to disclosure of private company data by Sageworks. --Harald Forkbeard (talk) 20:28, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

• Comment: Similar disruption is occurring at Fred Nile. Au77ie was at 3RR on 2 March 2015 at Marie Ficarra, created sock A rewriter (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) to avoid detection for the edit-warring, then when the sock got tagged, waited until today to rekindle the edit-war adding attacking edit-summaries about "Armenians feeling uneasy". Overall typical nationalist POV-pushing disruption. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 13:35, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Blocked – 48 hours for long-term edit warring, from March 2 through March 4. The editor is trying to force their material in both at Marie Ficarra and Fred Nile. Since these edits mention Nagorno-Karabakh I'm also notifying the editor of the discretionary sanctions under WP:ARBAA2. The references to 'an Armenian paid contributor' also cause concern. Is Au77ie trying to say that User:Aronzak is an Armenian paid contributor? A related complaint was filed at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive876#BLP violations on Armenian genocide issue. If User:A rewriter continues to post in these areas an SPI may be warranted. EdJohnston (talk) 20:43, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

There is nothing wrong with having a little style in the plot summary section. This editor is unwilling to use the talkpage to discuss changes because there is no other way but his way. 24.79.36.94 (talk) 17:27, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

I just posted on your talk page, before you made this edit. Also, just because you report the other editor does not exempt you from the 3RR rule; you also made over three reverts. Lets take it to the talk page, no need to be so overdramatic. You've blanked my comment on your talk page twice now without responding, it seems you're one the one who doesn't want to have a discussion.. I linked you to the Wikipedia guideline WP:QUOTE, which you seem to be ignoring. Drovethrughosts (talk) 17:37, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Sure, now that there's a report you become civil. You're are false, and I won't be deceived. 24.79.36.94 (talk) 17:39, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

What are you talking about? I have been civil. Please give an example where I said something to insult you somehow, I'd be surprise. After I posted on your talk page, I got the notification of a talk page message as I hadn't loaded the page yet since I was making a comment to you. Again, you're being overdramatic and taking this too personal. I've linked you to the Wikipedia guideline, but you don't seem to be concerned with that. I've replied on the talk page for the episode article after several attempts (there were edit conflicts), and again, please respect that editors cannot always replies within seconds. I take time in what I have to say and will reread and rewrite it several times. Drovethrughosts (talk) 18:03, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

The diffs of your reverts prove your statements false. It is also false that you know what I have read and considered. It is completely in appropriate and false for you to be trying to change the venue of the discussion to my talkpage so that no one else would see it. 24.79.36.94 (talk) 18:18, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

You are being paranoid and confrontational and it's making it impossible to converse with you. What do you not understand, I went to your talk page to make a comment, after I finished and posted it, I received the notification (via my talk page) regarding this. I did not "change the venue" as I was not aware of it at the time I was writing the comment on your talk page. Please understand and accept that. Jeez. Drovethrughosts (talk) 18:51, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

I'm stating the facts as I see them: you're telling me what I think, you're telling me what I have and haven't read (on and on with falsehoods), you deliberately avoided having any discussion on the talkpage until there was a warring report here. There isn't anything paranoid about my reaction to your falsehoods. And I consider your using the term to apply to me to be bullying and personal attack. 24.79.36.94 (talk) 19:10, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

"you deliberately avoided having any discussion on the talkpage until there was a warring report here", no you are wrong...why do I have to keep repeating myself...what do you not understand that I didn't complete my comment to your talk page before I saw this? Stop your accusations. You do not get notifications in real-time, I didn't reload the page until I posted my comment (obviously) so I did not see this until after I posted on your talk page. "Bullying and personal attacks", are you serious? I'm sorry if pointing to Wikipedia guidelines hurts your feelings. As for "you're telling me what I think", so what about when you told me "you would use the same lack of reasoning" and "You would rather it was a plain template cookie cutter version of the last episode article". You're putting words in my mouth and accusing me of things I have not done. You're taking this too personal, and it's making it hard to try and reason with you. Talk about bullying, I see you left a message on a user's talk page whom I had a disagreement with before to try and gang-up on me, how mature of you. Drovethrughosts (talk) 19:40, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

• Comment Both of you need to realize that you are way beyond 3RR now. The only thing stopping me from blocking both of you right now is the fact that you've started to discuss the issue. However, if I see any further reverts I will block you. I'd like you to consider another thing as well; adding the quote implies that it has a special significance, but there is no source that can verify this present in the article, which to me suggests that this might be original research.

Dispute resolution with one who refuses to listen to and reverts reasoning given through edit summaries as to why his edits are going against the very guidelines of editing Wikipedia articles, because of the fact that we've had disputes before. Gonna need luck for that! AlexTheWhovian (talk) 23:56, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Renewed edit warring against clear talk page consensus on the same topic after previous blocks. Seems only an indef block or topic ban will stop this disruption. Charles (talk) 14:00, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

A quick look at the talk page will show who is edit warring against consensus on this article. Countless users have tried to insert a "result" into this article - in keeping with all other Wikipedia articles - but Charles keeps monitoring the page and threatening anyone who disagrees with him with "bans" for "edit-warring" "against consensus". Clearly, "consensus" in his mind, does not equal a majority of users on the talk page, nor ALL the sources presented on the talk page, but merely his and one other user's own personal opinions. Charles has repeatedly deleted sources, harassed me on my talk page, and followed me around Wikipedia to "undo" whatever edits I attempt to make. ZinedineZidane98 (talk) 18:12, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

A read of the talk page will show that the above is tendentious nonsense. I have followed clear consensus and I have not deleted sources or harassed this editor.Charles (talk) 18:18, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Borodino&diff=624458356&oldid=624438253 here, Charles deleted an eminent scholarly source which states that the battle was a Pyrrhic Victory. He subsequently reported me here, and had me banned. If you work up from this edit, you'll see he has repeatedly deleted the sources I have added, reverting by claiming a completely non-existent "consensus" (the majority on the Talk page are in fact AGAINST him and Pink.beast). Most unforgivable of all, he simply refuses to engage with the sources I've provided him on the Talk Page. He just screams "CONSENSUS!", reverts, and runs. ZinedineZidane98 (talk) 19:09, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

• Page protected (full) for one week. I've also left a clear warning on the article talk page about reverting after the lock expires. Blocks may be handed out if that occurs. As for the report here, what the two editors say here is not completely accurate on either side. Zinedine has been blocked once, not multiple times. Zinedine has labeled other editors' reverts as vandalism, and Charles left a vandalism warning on Zinedine's talk page. None of the reverts constitutes vandalism, so both parties are advised to drop the word. Such accusations may be construed as personal attacks, which are blockable. I also urge Zinedine to make their points without strident language. If nothing else, it doesn't help you. As for consensus, I don't see a clear consensus on the infobox issue. At the article Talk page, I suggested an RfC to establish one.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:27, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Comments:

This user is persistently removing a reference and adding an unsourced fact in its place. It is accompanied by a wikilink to List of Arabs by net worth, but that list is out of date and its only source (the Forbes list) does not list the name Juffali.
No explanation has been offered (the edit summaries are all blank) and there has been no response to attempts at discussion. Nick Number (talk) 17:35, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

• Blocked – for a period of 72 hours. This is a troubling report as I believe the reported user may be a sock puppet. I also think the edits come very close to vandalism (deliberate insertion of incorrect material). I also think that the article itself is poorly written and virtually unsourced. Finally, List of Arabs by net worth, where the family is listed (added by the probable master), is in horrible shape as well. Based on all that, I am not blocking Nick Number for edit warring, applying a blend of exemptions.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:14, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Result: Semiprotected two months. The three 86.* IPs who have been reverting since 17 February are presumably the same person. Using a fluctuating IP to edit war violates WP:SOCK.

Clearly a very aggressive user who's personall attacks and edit warring are harmful to Wikipedia. Just by glancing his talk page, it seems he has a very long history of edit warring. --Steverci (talk) 21:35, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

• I think this person is talking about himself. 1, 2 & 3. His edit wars are similar. And, his contributions are destructive 4. I think should be careful for this status. --Esc2003 (talk) 22:32, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Result: Esc2003 is warned for edit warring. If this continues a block may be issued. Calling people trolls or vandals in your edit summaries could lead to a block for personal attacks. This article is subject to the WP:ARBAA2 arbitration case. EdJohnston (talk) 06:59, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
