    Update this page

    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 {{ 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.

    • Both users are edit-warring; neither has violated 3RR.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 15:04, 14 April 2024 (UTC) reply
    • Additionally, the two users are the only editors who have edited the article in the last few weeks in a continuous edit war, and neither has discussed the dispute on the article Talk page. I have therefore pblocked both editors for two weeks from editing the article.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 15:11, 14 April 2024 (UTC) reply
      Can we discuss it here? User Wk3v78k23tnsa sort of masquerades as an auto-message generator or WP admin (using terms above like "advised user" etc), and cites general WP pages without specifics and therefore pretty much uselessly. I believe I have a fairly good case against Wk3v78k23tnsa's bold edits. (A point against their edits, not a justification of an edit war, which I cop to.)

    • No violation – there must be four or more reverts within a 24 hour period for the 3-Revert Rule to apply; the links you have provided do not meet these criteria. Really, this board is for clear 4 reverts in 24 hours or it is very obvious they are gaming the system, not for discussions or deeper analysis. Protracted problems should go to ANI.

    No-Falcon-4996 was blocked by ScottishFinnishRadish for vandalism. Immediately thereafter, a similarly-named editor Pixel-Lead453 appeared and started pushing similar edits. There are plenty of reasons for a block: vandalism, block-evasion, etc. But edit-warring (violation of the 3RR rule) will do. Note that the article has recently been at WP:BLPN, and gotten attention from seasoned editors there, so BLP issues are unlikely to apply. (I now see that I am in technical violation of WP:3RR myself, having once reverted the earlier account, but I believe that it falls under the vandalism exception, particularly as the earlier account was just blocked for vandalism.)

    • Indefinitely pblocked from editing the article. Technically, this report is stale, but the user is an obvious WP:SPA who is clearly affiliated with the student union (see their previous username), and shouldn't be editing the article directly at all, let alone edit-warring over changes they wish to make.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 13:21, 16 April 2024 (UTC) reply
