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 than 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.

Comments:
This user deletes sources and refuses to dialogue to resolve the dispute. I have shown him arguments and sources but as he cannot counter them, he just deletes my changes and repeats the same thing. He has been blocked on the French wikipedia for the editing war on Borjgali and he has furthermore insulted users on the discussion page of the French article (me and two other users including an administrator) -> he has been permanently blocked on the French Wikipedia for "Attempted intimidation or harassment and Violation of 3RR" against me.. He has been blocked many times for 3RR violation: both on the English, Russian and even Armenian Wikipedia, which proves his non-collaborative attitude. He has not replied to a single post of mine on the talk page since 9 April 2021 (except once to insult me on the French page).
I am aware of WP:BOOMERANG so if you want, you can block us both until we find a solution BUT I have always been open to discussion and provided many sources and explanations. I really tried to collaborate with him both on the article's talk page and on his talk page but he refuses to dialogue except to insult me.

He continues--Van Gogia (talk) 15:01, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
- Van Gogia has the only purpose in Wikipedia - to erase any mention and facts of the influence of Armenian culture on Georgian. Look at his purposeful anti-Armenian activities, whose only goal is to erase any mention of the Armenian heritage in Georgian culture. He is just another Georgian nationalist with a big inferiority complex to any Armenian. All edits from Van Gogia are established records over 8 years that have not changed. Vahram Mekhitarian (talk) 03:32, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
- What are the arguments to support what you say? This is again a personal attack (The English Wikipedia is becoming a no-go area?). My last three modified articles are: Gabriel Urgebadze, Borjgali and Lekit church. These are articles that have nothing to do with Armenia. You have deleted several times sourced information on an article about a Georgian symbol (Borjgali) -> So you keep vandalizing an article related to Georgia and you dare to talk about "inferiority complex"? After your insult, you don't even deserve a response to another attack from you. You have been blocked for 3RR on all language Wikipedias (including the Armenian one!). You provide no sources and no arguments, you only make personal attacks. You don't discuss the article, the sources and the arguments. Your image is becoming more and more visible.

- It appears that User:Georgi1 and User:Vahram Mekhitarian have reverted each other on the Borjgali article over 30 times since March. This qualifies as long-term edit warring and is blockable. It does appear that Vahram is indefinitely blocked from the French Wikipedia for a similar reason. That still doesn't excuse the reverts by User:Georgi1 (aka Van Gogia). EdJohnston (talk) 21:04, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
- Hello EdJohnston. Thank you for your reaction. Indeed, nothing excuses my reverts. But please note that I have not reverted the article since 27 May 2021 and I have been open to discussion since the beginning. Since his blocking, User:Vahram Mekhitarian refuses to discuss the article and every time he talks to me since then, it's to insult me ("his purposeful anti-Armenian activities"..."only goal is to erase any mention of the Armenian heritage"..."He is just another Georgian nationalist with a big inferiority complex"..."идиот"("idiot")).--Van Gogia (talk) 21:27, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

- Given the IP hopping, I think that either page semi-protection or pending changes is the first step to address this. It's very slow-motion, with only about one revert a week, but it's been the only edits over the past two weeks or so. —C.Fred (talk) 15:02, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
- I'll note that I requested semi-protection at RFPP after filing this. If a partial block of a range is a doable thing (I'm not sure if it is or not), that would also solve the problem. Beyond My Ken (talk) 15:04, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Comments:
For the past few months, this user has been reverting every single change from other users to fit their own opinion/views on the content. I've tried to notify them or use the talk page to discuss what should be changed before editing it, yet they have not complied. Other users have had problems with this user as well, as they will revert every single source update/change to the article back to their own edit. Not only this, but the formatting that is provided in the article is clunky/unnecessary. This edit war started because I reformatted some text. There was no deletion of content that this user provided. There are even more instances of this person constantly gatekeeping the article too, but I've provided the newest ones.

Comments: Editor has a poor understanding of Wiki guidelines. We've discussed the issue on my talk page here, and I've encouraged him to take it to the article talk page, though he has yet to do so (he appears to have now started a thread). Both myself and Doktorbuk have tried to explain to him the issues with his edits (NPOV and improperly sourced material). I also suspect the user has serious WP:COI issues, as in this heavily-PoV edit he ties the political party he's adding to a twitter account with the same name as his Wiki account. I suspect the candidate he's trying to add is in fact himself. — Czello 08:48, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
- I've tried to be firm and fair with BillCaxton, and both approaches appear not to work. In a template just this past hour deleted under CSD, the user admitted to being the candidate he wants to promote on the article. I'm close to breaching 3RR myself in trying to repair damage and unsuitable content so I will have to step back. Check his edit summaries - at least he uses those! - for a taste of what we're dealing with. doktorb wordsdeeds 08:58, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

This user is making arguments that make no sense in order to change F Murray Abraham's ethnicity. All reliable sources say he is Assyrian and he brings up church affiliation, location of birth, and is adding things to the article which are not stated in the source such as a the famine of Mount Lebanon. I explained to him that these things have nothing to do with a persons ethnicity but he keeps reverting. Henanton (talk) 22:20, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
Sources such as Commonwealth magazine, Arabamerican and IMDB are not legitimate and reliable sources. In the sources already provided in his article, Murray Abraham himself has said his father emigrated from Syria and that is family belonged to the Antiochian Greek Orthodox Church (Assyrians do not belong to this religious affiliation as discussed already in the Talk Page). All the official documentation of Murray Abraham's family say his family emigrated from Myklos/Muqlus, Syria where his father was born.
Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources as per first sentence of second paragraph in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons With the highest quality in for Historical matters being official documents, autobiographies and oral and videos as per first and second sentence of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_source#Using_primary_sources and Books/Peer-reviewed journals as per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_source#Using_primary_sources and Magazines and Newspapers from respectable publishing house as the last source if the first ones are not available as per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research#Reliable_sources
As per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources#Age_matters, in the field of history and biographies, the older and closer the source is the person involved with the event, the more weight it has over secondary sources.
User Henanton wants to give a non reliable secondary source undue weight as per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view#Undue_weight. He also claims all reliable sources say he is Assyrian which is completely false, claims that Murray Abraham's family converted into the Antiochian Greek Orthodox church without providing any source for that which is WP:OR and keeps ignoring that Murray Abraham himself says in https://www.cityandstateny.com/articles/personality/personality/actor-f-murray-abraham-syrian-refugees-and-de-blasios-new-york.html that his family escaped famine in Syria saying that there was famine in the Assyrian Genocide as well which is disruption and ORChris O' Hare (talk) 22:41, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
- Commonwealth is reliable and there are tons of sources that state he is Assyrian. Don't you think if he wasn't Assyrian he would have come out and said so himself? The new sources you added require payment just to see them and are not reliable. Assyrians are part of all churches. We even have Assyrian Jews and Assyrian Muslims. Tons of Assyrians converted from the Church of the East to other churches. That argument holds no weight whatsoever. I also never stated his family converted churches. I stated that Assyrians belong to any church. Since when does belonging to a specific church determine your ethnicity? Anyone can join a church or convert to another religion so why do you keep bringing up his church? There was famine during the Assyrian genocide. It is clearly stated on the Assyrian genocide page. You have one source that states his family fled due to famine but it says nothing about the famine of Mount Lebanon. Wikipedia uses facts not theories. You keep adding unreliable sources like where his family was born. Plenty of Assyrians in Syria live in Arab majority cities such as Damascus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damascus#Demographics Henanton (talk) 22:55, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
