Welcome to the edit warring noticeboard | ||

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 You can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.
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.

User:Derek.cashman reported by User:bkonrad (Result:warning both)
- Three-revert rule violation on
Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/Guideline (edit | [[Talk:Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/Guideline|talk]] | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Derek.cashman (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log): Time reported: 17:33, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
- Previous version reverted to: 03:47, February 16, 2008
- 1st revert: 05:06, February 16, 2008
- 2nd revert: 23:28, February 16, 2008
- 3rd revert: 06:54, February 17, 2008 (note: there was an intervening edit in which another user proposed another version--Derek.cashman reverted to his preferred version)
- 4th revert: 16:42, February 17, 2008
- Diff of 3RR warning: DIFFTIME (Derek.cashman is not a new user)
A short explanation of the incident. Derek.cashman finds general references to be unacceptable and has attempted to force this dictate into the WP:City Guidelines, despite there being no such explicit deprecation on WP:CITE. He has demonstrated no support for this change and others have expressed disagreement. In addition, he has accused me of being a sock puppet [1] (on what basis I have no idea). While I object to Derek.cashman edits, I have no problem with the suggestion proposed by Maclean25 here and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cities/Guideline. older ≠ wiser 17:33, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
- Both sides are edit warring. Bkonrad has not technically violated 3RR, but has reverted four times in the past two days. Not willing to block only one, but have watchlisted the article and will block either one if he continues the edit war. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 20:36, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
- Fair enough. I'm not exactly proud of having the course this has taken. WP:BRD suggests that further discussion is needed before a controversial new dictate is added to the project guidelines that, at present, far overreaches the general guidance at WP:CITE. older ≠ wiser 20:46, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
Hate to point this out to you, but I don't see that as a violation of 3RR, since the first edit and the third edit is just outside of a 24-hour period (see above). However, irregardless, I have decided not to continue edit-warring anyway, and instead have initiated a discussion regarding my position on "general references" here. I did make a minor modification to Bkonrad's wording today, to streamline the text a bit and make it a bit more readable, but I don't think that qualifies as a revert because it doesn't really change the spirit of what he wrote. Dr. Cash (talk) 15:15, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- It is indisputable that you (and I) were edit-warring over that page, which is what 3RR is about. Getting legalistic about technicalities is a poor excuse for continuing to revert without any clear support for your change. I think we both went over the line in this interaction, which is unfortunate because I can see that you are a good editor and valuable contributor to the Wikipedia. I don't agree with you about general references, but that is a matter for further discussion. I have commented at Wikipedia talk:Citing sources. BTW, the "wording" you revised is not mine -- in the initial instances I was restoring the text that had been there for quite a long time, and in the later instances the new text was by Maclean25. older ≠ wiser 15:52, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Established user, clearly well aware of 3RR given three previous revert blocks (see block log). Was clearly advised twice in edit summaries that the material re-added in the revert was removed on BLP grounds. While Bramlet disputed BLP applicability in his 4th revert edit summary (wrongly in my view), that doesn't justify a 3RR violation, particularly when all I requested was a reliable source. (btw, I'm not a sock. am a former named editor, inactive for almost a year, scrambled password, and prefer to ip my few one-off edits now.). 65.96.171.231 (talk) 19:01, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- Clear troll who himself violated 3RR. Single-purpose account trying to remove "co-founder" references, and then making up nonsensical BLP claim to remove entire paragraph where the "co-founder" occurs. Bramlet Abercrombie (talk) 19:15, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- Bramlet Abercrombie has three previous blocks for edit warring, 48 hour block. The IP reporting has violated 3RR as well, but with no block history gets 12 hours. Stifle (talk) 19:28, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

By the way, the three revert rules does not apply to reverting a troll/sockpuppet account IMHO.
Regards, QuackGuru (talk) 01:38, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
- Ironically enough, I didn't realize I had also crossed 3, so my block was also in order. However, Quack I am neither sock nor troll. Nor have I even been editing "for months" (try 2 days) as you obviously know perfectly well by having look at my contribs. I gave well-reasoned edits and edit summaries grounded in policy with citations to the same. Bramlet simply repeatedly punched rollback without comment or discussion. I'd ask you to assume good faith Quack; it's hardly shocking that two people disagree with you and Bramlet -- indeed many other editors including slimvirgin and jimmy wales himself are on record disagreeing with you -- or perhaps jimbo is also a troll sock of truelexicon? by your logic, you and bramlet must also be sock-buddies since you two share the same opinion and edits?

- plus long attempts to engage him with him reasonably on the article talk page
The user insists on putting the same misconceived material into the article Y-chromosomal Aaron, against the protests of several editors, and eventually 3RR warnings.
I know we have to be gentle with him, because he's a new to Wikipedia, and also because English may not be his first language, but this can't go on.
In scientific terms, what he's trying to add is as wrong as saying 2+2 = 6. I have tried to explain why it's wrong in talk, and he puts it back. User:Iris-J2 tried to explain why it was wrong, and he put it back. User:AdrianTM tried to take it out for the sourcing not being sufficient, but he put it back. User:Jfdwolff asked him to take it to talk and stop edit warring, [7], but back it comes. User:Shoessss tried to get in a mediator, and left an edit summary specifically warning about 3RR, but now Chris has reverted that too.
In his latest response on the talk page, he seems to finally accept ([8] - see "(2)") that the CMH is not a Unique Event Polymorphism - one of the fundamental scientific points. And yet the material he puts back in [9] uses the phrase "Cohen Unique-Event Polymorphism" no fewer than seven times.
I don't want to see the page locked down and protected - there are other areas there that needs to be corrected, with cites to more up to date material. And, per User:Shoessss's latest edit summary, I guess it shouldn't be me that tries to put the page back to rights any more myself, because I really don't want to be seen as edit warring.
But this misconceived material shouldn't be allowed to stand on Wikipedia, just because one editor insists on reinserting it. Jheald (talk) 09:59, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Basically Rschen7754 thinks he can do what he wants because he's an admin (see Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Is it valid to semiprotect an IP talk page to keep the IP from removing warnings?). He wrote up a little essay that's factually inaccurate. NE2 02:36, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
- A 3RR on a user's sandbox page? Mmmm... Not applicable, NE2. If and when he moves it to the Wikipedia namespace, then yes. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 02:42, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

This anonymous user keeps on deleting referenced information (see discussion page: lyrics from songs are provided which show explicit sexism; links to newsmedia with complaints to women´s right councils; internal links to wikipedia musical definitions are also provided to define the lacks of this music. Seeing his historial, I realize he´s a reggaeton fan which cannot admit the less criticism to his loved music.

- I'll get straight to the point. Xareau_bs was vandalizing that wiki on a daily basis with critical POV statements. He refuses to include a single reference. I reported him for 3RR last week, and an admin protected the page to prevent further vandalism by him. Take 10 seconds to look at the talk page and the wiki history, his additions are noticeably POV, and he has yet to actually reference anything. He isn't even trying to source anything. I also think he just inadvertantly butchered the 3RR noticeboard coding. 74.228.158.68 (talk) 08:15, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
- The three-revert rule prohibits more than three reverts in a 24-hour period. You have provided only three. No violation made out. Stifle (talk) 09:28, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
