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.

Comments:
The user is waging ideologic edit war in articles about Tatarstan: look at his contributions. And for example, [5], [6], [7]. Besides I had noticed that administrators doesn't disallow him to do it. His edits are not equal to consensual versions of articles. --Bolgarhistory (talk) 15:42, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- The user does not go to the discussion and continues to wage a war of edits. And simply responds in a rude way, violating the rules of ethical behavior: Tatars in the question of the president should understand that "you will not breathe enough before you die." On what basis do they arrange a war of edits? Where?! In the English Wikipedia, your "Latin alphabet" is not fucking needed by anyone.--Ilnur efende (talk) 15:45, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- Then the user started insulting that I was a blind Tatar nationalist.--Ilnur efende (talk) 15:55, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- Unless I'm mistaken, they said that you were
blinded by Tatar nationalism
, which isn't exactly the same as being called a "blind Tatar nationalist". M.Bitton (talk) 17:21, 15 July 2022 (UTC)- I'm not sure that it must be perceived as good phrase. --Bolgarhistory (talk) 17:40, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

- Ymblanter, please explain by rules, why has the user permissions to do editing wars? I want another administrators will see how you doesn't react to it. I think you are not neutral. --Bolgarhistory (talk) 16:54, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- So far, the user who started the thermonuclear war of edits with the deletion of the text added three years ago has not even been warned, and is protected by this administrator. Ilnur efende (talk) 17:05, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- I have an impression that you woudn't like to aplly sanctions to RedBull1984. --Bolgarhistory (talk) 16:57, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

- The edit warring aside, the Latin version of the name is unsourced and unattributable (I couldn't find any RS for it). M.Bitton (talk) 17:09, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- M.Bitton, the Latin version in the Tatar langunage is not main topic of my request. We are talking about user's behavior. But for example, it is used in Finland. I can find many sources about the Latin version. --Bolgarhistory (talk) 17:22, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- I understand, but if it's unsourced (btw, it's not in the above source), then the whole edit war becomes futile. M.Bitton (talk) 17:27, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- If we think in this way a lot of transcriptions haven't a source. I can not find a source about names in the Cyrillic version. --Bolgarhistory (talk) 17:30, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- Did you try Google books? Plenty of RS supporting the Cyrillic version. M.Bitton (talk) 17:33, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- There are not official documents. Mentioning a person in books and media is not an authoritative source about his name's writing. --Bolgarhistory (talk) 17:42, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

- I apologize for my English. Therefore, I will be brief. "Нафиг" in Russian is not an offensive word, unlike fuck in English. I didn't write "blind nationalist". I didn't write "fuck". RedBull1984 (talk) 17:46, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- In Russian the word "нафиг" is also offensive like the "fucking" in English. It can not be used in a discussion. --Bolgarhistory (talk) 17:50, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- Both editors blocked – for a period of 24 hours for edit warring over this across multiple articles; the discussion above should have happened instead, then at least it would have just been another angry discussion. For the same reason I have blocked Ilnur efende for the same time period, specifically for a 3RR vio on the article in question, but one compounded by similar revert-warring with RedBull1984 on multiple articles.

an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. in 15 July 2022, User:Speun reverts the article Germany national football team 3 times:

- No violation He has not made the same revert more than three times. Not yet Daniel Case (talk) 02:16, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Daniel Case: hi; This user, other than these three items; two revert of information ( [22] [23]) the previous day and one revert ([24]) a few days before. Mahan Matin (talk) 10:15, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
- Those edits were rightfully as per consensus reverted. It was also over multiple days overall. I have since the beginning told you that this very topic about youth honors on senior articles was discussed on the football project talkpage. Everywbody agreed that post 1992 olympics does not belong on senior articles. Some common sense would tell you, that you should not add medals to a team that did not win said medal. There already is an article for u23 olympic teams, and they are listed on those respective articles. No need to add them to senior articles. It has nothing to do with my opinion or personal viewpoint.. i simply reverted in good faith as per consensus. I kept giving edit reasons to why it was reverted as well, also to you. I told you to open up the discussion again on the footballproject talkpage, if you want youth honors on senior articles. It was never up to me personally, as i consulted everybody in there before removing them. Here Archive 152. Speun (talk) 15:02, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

Comments:
This article is subject to a 1RR limit. This editor has not violated the 1RR bright line however, they have engaged in a slow edit war by restoring the same disputed content 3 times. During the second and third restoration it should have been clear that the talk page discussion did not support a consensus to include the disputed content. Contrary to NOCON (a lack of consensus commonly results in retaining the version of the article as it was prior to the proposal or bold edit) the editor argues consensus is required to reject [31] and content should stay in place until a consensus to reject is established [32]. I'm not seeking a block but reversion and warning to not restore until there is a clear consensus. Springee (talk) 01:02, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reality is there is no "edit war" here, probably best view the ongoing dicussion, that multiple editors have contributed to, concerning the inclusion of properly sourced content that the listing editor finds objectionable. As for any other accusations of "warring" by this editor, again, not real, the edit summaries speak for themselves. Acousmana 01:21, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
- This comment at the end of the current discussion also suggests BATTLEGROUND thinking [33]. Springee (talk) 01:24, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
- engaging in accusations of edit warring, rather than providing rational argumentation for why properly sourced content should be excluded, is classic 'BATTLEGROUND' behaviour. As is this attempt at stirring the pot. Acousmana 01:41, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Acousmana: If "the edit summaries speak for themselves", then I'm concerned that you're re-adding material that is still under discussion when no consensus to add it has been reached. —C.Fred (talk) 01:34, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
- apologies, to clarify, "the edit summaries speak for themselves" is in the context of the unrelated accusation of edit warring on the article Zuby that has been bolted on here; a clear rational for the Peterson content inclusion is in the talk page discussion.Acousmana 02:01, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Acousmana: The Zuby issue is mentioned here to show that you have awareness of edit warring policies and 3RR. —C.Fred (talk) 02:08, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
- sorry, I don't follow. The accusation of breaking 1R on Peterson is not borne out with evidence, and the last contribution added 2 new WP:RS cites to shore up sourcing, it wasn't a "revert". Acousmana 02:15, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Acousmana: It's technically a revert, because you added the same material, even though you added additional sources. It's in that weird land of edge cases. —C.Fred (talk) 02:34, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
- OK, but we have sourcing that is WP:RS and more than adequate in the context of what's being discussed, this is being willfully ignored by the listing party. Acousmana 02:42, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Acousmana: Are you sure? I see legitimate concerns about sourcing being raised at the talk page. —C.Fred (talk) 02:49, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
- Coverage of internet personality, in relevant sections of RS publications, including Washington Examiner, Newsweek, and Independent are to my mind adequate given both the context and miniscule size of the content added. On balance, it seems due. Acousmana 02:58, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Acousmana: A quick look at WP:Perennial sources shows that there is no consensus on whether the Washington Examiner is reliable and that Newsweek is broadly considered unreliable. —C.Fred (talk) 03:02, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
- I did consult perennial list prior to additions, states Newsweek is context dependent. Both Newsweek & Washington Examiner state verifiable information, and on the whole the coverage is neutral: facts, nothing more. Taken together, the sources are sufficient for this small mention, one that augments the matter of Peterson's misgendering of Page. I'm not seeing a substantive argument not to include mention other than "no consensus". My reading is that certain editors don't like it, nothing more. Acousmana 10:42, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

- Note also WP:BLPREQUESTRESTORE, which is stricter than WP:ONUS in general. Contentious material about a living person sourced to bad sources (video game websites, etc.), which four separate editors have expressed an objection to on the talk page, is inappropriate to slow-motion edit war over. Endwise (talk) 13:00, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
- To be fair, there is no consensus in said Talk discussion that this material is
contentious
, and one of thefour separate editors
favoring removal has been topic-banned as fallout from that discussion. Just for context. Newimpartial (talk) 13:14, 18 July 2022 (UTC)- I agree the material isn't contentious as we normally use the term in blp situations. However DUE is still in the area of NOCON. The topic banned editor was in good standing when they objected so, in addition to being wp:gravedancing, the mention here is irrelevant. Springee (talk) 14:05, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
- You think it is irrelevant that the editor in question was topic-banned as a result of the conversation that began - and largely took place - in that Talk section? I think it should be admin who evaluate that, not yourself - especially after you tried and failed[34] to detourne the AE discussion into a weirdly directed BOOMERANG at me (weirdly directed because I wasn't a party to the ARE).

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: Extensive discussions on talk page from this section on; ultimately did not prevent edit-warring behaviour on either side, even during discussions, as the last comments were on 8 July and the dispute still continued.
Diff of ANEW notice posted to user's talk page: Cukrakalnis, Marcelus
Comments: A severe case of edit warring about a (Lithuanian? Polish? Polish-Lithuanian? Lithuanian-Polish?) priest about, well, his nationality. Both-sided indef blocks from that article is IMHO a minimum; haven't analysed behaviour in other articles. Marcelus posted to ANI on 8 July (no response). Dispute spilt to RSN on 16 July (both went on to argue who started edit warring). I come here from RSN after having noticed that mess.
Added: It is also apparent that the contact isn't going smoothly between the users and is too frequently about disputes of who is right, so interaction bans may also be considered (though I don't insist, I leave it for admins to decide). The users seem also to be reverting Lithuanian names to Polish names, and vice versa, regardless of the merits of such reverts.

- I was on RSN, and noticed a thread about the article, in which I commented as it appeared similar to an RSN discussion I submitted my comment to some time earlier. At the same time, I noted accusations of edit warring, which I started to investigate, and came to the conclusion that that was way too much. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 23:47, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

- I didn't know about your protection request until you pointed that to me just right now, so if you suggest that it is somehow related, no, that's totally independent of your actions, as I haven't tracked them at all (neither your edits nor the RPP page). One user may request protection of a page, another may pursue sanctions against editwarring users, and there needn't be any sort of conspiracy in it or any malicious intent.

- Szmenderowiecki, what does Previous version reverted to: exactly mean? I understand that the version WP:STABLE must be reverted to, but that has not happened yet and I was wondering whether that was because I misunderstood something.--Cukrakalnis (talk) 13:25, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
- Since you were both reverting each other, I posted whatever last version was stable. I'm not exactly sure if this is what I should have pasted there, but for me it looked like the most intuitive option. I certainly do not intend to mean that this is the true/correct version of how the article should look like, and WP:STABLE says that it is up to admin's discretion to lock the article at a stable version - I am not one. There is an active RSN discussion, which you can join. You can still use the article's talk. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 14:23, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

- You must notify any editor you report here on their Talk page. You have not done so. You may use {{subst:An3-notice}} to do so. See the notice at the top of the page. Please note that it appears that you also may have exceeded 3RR unless the editor's edits were obvious vandalism. General Ization Talk 21:44, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
- Boomerang for OP. Not only have they violated WP:3RR themselves, but given that they're adding the contested text they're ignoring WP:BRD and WP:QUO. — Czello 21:48, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
- Only one of them is on the talk page, and there is unanimous agreement on the talk page for the inclusion. But both of these editors should be article blocked for violating WP:A/I/PIA. nableezy - 23:34, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

- Information on the WP:A/I/PIA sanctions and their applicability to this page were not included on the article's Talk page until Nableezy did so a short time ago. While both editors violated 3RR, not sure they can be held responsible for violations of sanctions that were not noted at this article when they did so. General Ization Talk 00:45, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

The user has been adding content to both Greg Rucka & Jen Van Meter about their son. The user reverted an IP account which removed the content on July 12 which I reverted. The user then reverted me on July 16 & has continued to revert my removals of the content within the last 24 hours. The original source was the New York Post & the user has refused to accept multiple explanations of why that is an unreliable source. The latest attempt at restoring this information now cites deprecated sources such as Daily Mail and The Sun along with some blogs. Sariel Xilo (talk) 23:07, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
- I've supplied a total of 11 different references to support the statement I added to the article. Sariel is now telling me that any of the references I supply are invalid. How is that possible!? Some sources actually show photographs of the individual's mug shot at the time of his arrest. I just listed a simple statement of fact to the article which pertains to the man's personal life and should be a part of the article. The man was arrested for rioting....period! I deleted the NY Post and the Sun as sources as she requested, and replaced them with at least 9 other source references. Why is this person erasing all of my contributions? I'm the one supplying multiple reference sources, she is just deleting stuff randomly. I suspect this person has an intimate personal connection to the subject of the article. Please investigate the connection? Thank you for your aid in this matter. FrankensteinsDad (talk) 16:52, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
- I have no connection to Rucka or Van Meter; their son isn't a notable person so I've removed this content due to WP:NOTPUBLICFIGURE & WP:BLPREMOVE. Two other editors removed the content after me and the user has reverted that. I've updated the above list. Sariel Xilo (talk) 19:44, 18 July 2022 (UTC) Added a link above to a discussion another editor started on the content; I've replied there as well. Sariel Xilo (talk) 21:06, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

- This Sariel person is obviously involved personally with the subjecrt of this article. She sees that I am exposing her relationship to this person so she is asking other editors to get involved to obfuscate her own connection to Greg Rucka. These other people are just getting involved now to do her a favor, to help prevent her from getting in trouble for vandalism. What she is doing is pure censorship, acting as a protector for Greg Rucka's page. I'm providing multiple references for every sentence I submit, while she is just randomly erasing my submissions REGARDLESS of the fact that I've provided at least 8 reference sources! Please investigate her connection to Greg Rucka and you will see that she is protecting his page from unwanted information, true or not. That's called censorship! FrankensteinsDad (talk) 23:26, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
- The fact that his son travelled 3,000 miles to riot and vandalise stores in NYC to the point where the police had to arrest him is a very interesting fact pertaining to Greg Rucka's life story, in that it shows what kind of children he has raised! The whole point of the Rucka article is to tell Greg Rucka's story.....his work, his early life, the article even mentions his wife and kids. But curiously nothing at all is mentioned about this BIZARRE criminal act on the part of his son, even though the incident was surely a life-changing event for the entire Rucka family. Why is that? I thought a wiki article is supposed to feature the ENTIRE STORY about a subject, and not be censored and cleansed of any and all derogatory facts and events. This woman is trying to sanitize the article for Greg Rucka, who is undoubtedly a close friend or relative of hers. Otherwise she wouldn't get so involved.

IP user is adding trivial information with dubious sourcing. Their IP address keeps changing, so I did not attempt discussion on their talk page or warn them about this discussion, my apologies if I did something wrong in that regard. Also, I acknowledge that I probably reverted too many times and should have reported them earlier. It looks like they have been edit warring on other articles as well.

Comments:
Seems to be a single-purpose account engaged in a slow-motion edit war to coatrack the titles of newspaper articles into Steven Bartlett (businessman). User makes no attempt to transform these into encyclopedic text, and seemingly ignores the concerns of other editors raising coatrack issues with what is included. User's reverts include a spurious claim that I and other Wikipedia editors are actively censoring the article on the subject's behalf. As for discussion, user does not seem inclined to collaborate (sarcastic response to good-faith admin removal of copyrighted text; threat to go to the national press unless edits remain in article). Probably WP:NOTHERE. /wiae /tlk 10:45, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

I have tried to incorporate some text on practical applications of the convex hull relevant for students/researchers in physics, chemistry, and materials science. My additions were reverted four times by David_Eppstein claiming REFSPAM. I attempted to revise the content addition and requested his feedback. His comments were largely out-of-scope, as he now suggested the content was too specialized for the page. I made a good-faith effort to justify the importance of connecting these theoretical concepts to concrete ab-initio discoveries, such as the case for the Heusler magnets: one of the first discovered by computational approaches. This connection to thermodynamics and materials science is not included in the section and is what distinguishes it from raw mathematical modeling. Based on the discussion, I limited my addition a reference that reviews several of such convex-hull applications in materials science, which was again reverted on the basis of REFSPAM. It appears to me from the discussion that REFSPAM is no longer the concern, but it is instead one on content. David_Eppstein cannot be only arbiter deciding the legitimacy of content additions, especially since his comments suggest that this is out of his area of expertise. I find these actions to be very biased and exclusionary, and I hope this forum can remain open to other informed inputs. Io1026 (talk) 18:58, 18 July 2022 (UTC)Io1026
- It's low-quality WP:REFSPAM, endangering the article's Good Article status. The promoter of this material has failed to build consensus on the talk page for pushing it into the article, and instead keeps trying to push it without consensus. Given that my most recent undo of this same spam-pusher happened over two weeks after the previous one, no 3RR attention is needed. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:04, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Apologies if this is not the correct forum for reporting. User @Gweilo60: has been continually reverting edits on the article Jiujiang for the last few weeks to include a photo that they have taken that is not representative of the article's subject. I have tried discussing with the user first in the edit summaries [70], then on the user's talk page [71], before it subsequently moved to my talk page [72]. I have tried suggesting upwards of five alternative and more representative photos [73] from the Commons category for Jiujiang [74] but the user has suggested numerous times that all other photos (that he hasn't taken) are fake ([75]), not genuine, or should be removed ([76]). It seems very trivial, but I'm not sure what other options are present to prevent Gweilo60 from continually reverting to their own photo. Thank you for any assistance or suggestions. -NoGhost (talk) 05:03, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
