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.

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 attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page:

Comments:
This edit war began with an 18 January simplification of references via AWB. Other than a brief discussion here (with reply by PeeJay2K3 here), no discussion has taken place (and none involving The Rambling Man). I asked both these longtime users to stop the edit war and discuss, but the reverting has now continued. S.A. Julio (talk) 17:46, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As you can see from my edit summaries, I have repeatedly asked TheRamblingMan to bring his objections to some suitable forum, but he neither states his objections nor discusses them. I explained my changes in some detail on the talk page of PeeJay2K3 (here), who did not respond further, so I presume he at least found my explanation acceptable. Colonies Chris (talk) 17:58, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And yet you continued edit warring against consensus, even after being warned by this independent party? How odd. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:40, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Neither editor comes out of this well I'm afraid. 12 reverts each? And over such a trivial issue too. This may merit an entry in the infamous WP:LAME gallery. — Amakuru (talk) 21:54, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That much is true, but only one editor was editing against consensus, and only one editor continued to edit thus after the friendly warning from S. A. Julio. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:58, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There is still no resolution to this because TheRamblingMan refuses to discuss the issues which appear to concern him so much. He says my edits are 'against consensus' but the only objector is himself. My changes to that article include well over 100 separate gnoming edits - does he object to all of them? If not, which ones, and why? I fully agree that this dispute needs to be solved by discussion - I've said that over and over again - but it takes two to have a discussion. Colonies Chris (talk) 22:35, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've lost count of the number of times I've told you that if consensus is against your edits, then you should move on. Yet you refuse to do so and continue to implement your semi-automated edits at will, and in this case, numerous times despite being told to leave the consensus-based version in place, worse in fact, once again today after being told to stop edit-warring. Now it's come to this, hopefully you will learn from it and not repeat the same mistakes. The Rambling Man (talk) 22:41, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Still not a single word actually identifying, let alone discussing, the underlying issues. Colonies Chris (talk) 23:06, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you continue to edit against consensus, imposing your own preferred style, despite being warned not to do so. You must stop edit warring, and revert your most recent edit warring edit. You were asked to stop by an independent editor. Please stop repeating the mistake. Incidentally, Amakuru, this is also a contender for lame edit war trophy, and has been going on on the same article a while longer! The Rambling Man (talk) 23:27, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you could point out where this consensus was set, if it's not too much trouble, instead of issuing orders. --Calton | Talk 05:12, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It was reviewed in that form as a GA, and has had multiple editors restoring the consensus. I'm sure you already are aware that consensus isn't always set by someone writing it in stone. And no, I'm not "issuing orders", I'm just stating that the other user has continually edit-warred to get his preferred version, even after being told to stop by a third party. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:30, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This statement about "multiple editors restoring the consensus" is just not true. Only one other editor has raised any issues, and as I mentioned above, my explanation appears to have satisfied his concerns (explanation link here, again). The Rambling Man is the only objector, and he keeps avoiding any discussion of the reasons for his objection. Colonies Chris (talk) 09:29, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As requested, and as I have already noted above, I have noted edited the article once I was asked to desist, unlike Colonies Chris who continued to edit war to get his preferred version in place. As also noted, Colonies Chris did not have any consensus at all and was reverted by at least two editors. In fact, if you go back over the history of the article, you'll see this isn't the first time Colonies Chris has engaged in edit warring on this specific article. I am walking away from it now, as it appears some others are looking for consensus from some other place, but do note that there is no consensus for the version that Colonies Chris continued to edit war even after being asked to stop. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:25, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Despite my repeated requests, TRM has at no point explained what his objections are to my changes. The claim that "at least two editors have reverted" is intentionally misleading. In fact it is exactly two, one of them (repeatedly) himself, the other PeeJay2K3 who appears to have accepted my changes, as noted above. Without any explanation of TRM's objection, this is not discussion, it is bullying. Far from punishing me for edit warning, (which I accept this was), I would like the admins to prohibit TRM from continuing this bizarre personal vendetta against me; he should only revert when he's prepared to have an open discussion about his objections. Colonies Chris (talk) 16:57, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I’m not edit warring any longer, are you? I won’t touch your edits again but you need to learn they aren’t welcome. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:07, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Result: Both User:Colonies Chris and User:The Rambling Man are warned. Each one could be blocked if they edit the article again without getting a prior consensus on the talk page for their change. EdJohnston (talk) 17:41, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Really, the result should also include the restoration of the status quo before the edit warring... The Rambling Man (talk) 22:20, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments:

Technically, there is not yet a 3RR violation, but the rules of why his edits are disruptive have been explained to the user, and he refuses to take part in the discussion beyond insisting that he is "fixing" the article to the "correct" information in the edit summaries. He also insults other users as "downies", "monkeys" and "donkeys" in the edit summaries, even after exhortations to remain civil. Even his choice of a user name seems to be intended to insult the other users.

It appears that the user first made his edits on this page with an IP-address, see the following diffs:

There was only a short overlap between this range of IP addresses and the first use of the proper user name, so this is probably not a valid case of a sockpuppet. This is clearly the same user, judging from his choice of insults in the edit summary.

Two more edits from a different range of IP addresses may also go back to the same user:

Finally, at the end of December 74.14.152.246 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) was also active on the page Eritrea, where he apparently also took on a real username, Pawnye (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), which was only used once for this purpose, pursuing the same agenda as on Languages of Ethiopia. If this was really the same user, this probably constitutes a case of sockpuppetry. Landroving Linguist (talk) 23:04, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

After being informed of this report, the user now for the first time engaged on the talk page, but only by repeating his usual insults, without addressing the points brought up by other editors:

Cascorrin has constantly been changing an image to theres at Iveco Daily and has been edit warring over it, They tried editing as an IP[40] which ofcourse got them blocked, They've repeatedly been told to go the talkpage and get consensus however instead of doing that they've just been edit warring over it,

They've also edit warred across various projects where I'm now having to report them for edit warring on those respective projects so this isn't just an isolated problem,

Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 19:30, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The edit warring has spanned over a few days to weeks however given a block didn't solve anything I don't see how locking the article would be better, A block should've forced them to go the talkpage upon the block expiring, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 19:56, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cascorrin has now decided to create another account and then revert me[41], SPI filed, Cheers, –Davey2010^Talk 23:15, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cascorrin was previously blocked one week for the same thing back in January and the socking is obvious. I've warned Cascorrin they are risking an indefinite block, and invited them to respond here. If no response, a cross-wiki block should also be considered. EdJohnston (talk) 03:26, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi EdJohnston, Well apparently the other account is unrelated to Cascorrin although it was noted it could be them or another sock, Anyway given naff all's been done on those other projects I'm beginning to wonder if a cross-wiki block may be the best thing here, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 18:49, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

See a previous discussion on the admin board of the French Wikipedia. Cascorrin made his own complaint in the section just below that. It seems Cascorrin also used 80.36.251.222 (talk · contribs) over there. Cascorrin has been making similar edits to the leading image of Iveco Daily on the English, French, German and Portuguese Wikipedias. EdJohnston (talk) 19:08, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) I've since asked for a cross-wiki block as although the issues would stop here they wouldn't stop on the 3/4 other projects, Given the respective projects haven't even replied to the reports I'd made there I don't see any other option than a global block,

EdJohnston - Given the edits here are not all that frequent I would have no objections if this was declined, Many thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 19:10, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is likely that other projects (or the stewards) would pay more attention if an indef block is issued here. So I'll still consider doing that, but wait a bit to see if User:Cascorrin will respond. User:Seedsleds is not Cascorrin per the SPI. An apparent joe-job rather than meatpuppetry. EdJohnston (talk) 19:40, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

We've been trying to talk to this IP for days but no luck Moxy (talk) 00:48, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There's been no attempt by this user to respond to the other editors who have been cleaning up his edits and trying to communicate on his talk page. Some of his edits are POV, others are unsourced, while still others are often bizarre. There may be a language barrier -- I've told him repeatedly that Betty White is not Canadian but he kept inserting the name in a list of Danish Canadians. There are other examples as well. As he doesn't communicate, it's impossible to tell if it's a competence issue or deliberate disruption. Some edits appear straight vandalism. freshacconci (✉) 01:27, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Still reverting adding factually incorrect items. Can we get someone with some Gusto to step in please.--Moxy (talk) 02:14, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

One of the difficulties here is that this user appears to have been editing from various IPs; some other examples are 180.191.238.69 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) and 180.191.238.124 (talk · contribs · WHOIS); some go back a couple of months at least.

I have been getting put through the stocks at VPP and ANI since yesterday. I proposed protection from closure debate, for WP:RD. I suggested that propriety should not be discussed in situ (on the same page). War ensued. My proposal has been destroyed and I have been experiencing a continuous and outnumbered attack since. All I did was propose the VPP and respond to the comments. Closure templates were applied within 90 minutes and a rouge attack began which I approached with good faith. Once I felt completely obstructed, I asked for help of an administrator. The rouge attack continued and increased greatly on ANI where it spilled out from. I breached no civility. I have not threatened the site. I reverted edits which are altering the nature of my talk page contributions. It is obvious why there is some urgency to control your talk page comments. I am well aware of the rules. This has been allowed to go on at ANI for hours. I made my fourth revert because it is directly about controlling my own statements. I've asked for help. ~ R.T.G 17:33, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Ohnoitsjamie reported by User:Aeusoes1 (Result: )

Because this situation involves so many pages, I've opted to explain the pattern in the Comments below, which has example diffs. My apologies to anyone used to the normal format for reports of edit warring.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [47]

Comments:

This is a case where the edit warring is across several dozen articles. The pattern goes as follows. An IP user (likely Iuscaogdan (talk · contribs)) edited the article to include the symbol ⟨ɱ⟩ in the IPA transcriptions of Italian. Ohnoitsjamie then used Rollback to revert this change, perhaps assuming that it's a contentious edit because of the "Non-autoconfirmed user rapidly reverting edits" tag. But then Iuscaogdan restored their edit with an edit summary that links explicitly to this discussion that establishes that their edit is consistent with consensus on the issue. This should have been sufficient for Ohnoitsjamie to see that there was consensus behind the edits. However, Ohnoitsjamie instead used Rollback] again, clearly not having read the link.

What makes the matter worse is that Ohnoitsjamie issued a spurious edit warring notice and then deleted Iuscaogdan's response that explained how their edits had consensus before issing a block notification.

This seems like a breach of the rollback feature that shows a problematic misunderstanding of when it should be used and possibly a violation of WP:INVOLVED if Ohnoitsjamie really blocked someone they were edit warring with. — Æµ§œš¹ _{[lɛts b̥iː pʰəˈlaɪˀt]} 21:33, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
