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
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.

AN SPA who is blanking well cited text (eg New York Times), using primary sources that do not meet
WP:RS to further one POV, and removing {{

secondary sources indicate the POV being pushed by newly created "pollsters", which are dismissed by reliable secondary sources.

This user ignores other fellow editors and sees no other alternative but to engage in edit warring. This behaviour is repeated in almost all the articles he edits. Usually users are very cooperative and help one another in fixing issues of the edits of the other users. But this one is interested in nothing but sharing his own point of view.

This user has been engaging in an edit war on this article for several months. They periodically return to revert it to their preferred version. I initiated a discussion on the article's talk page to address the issue, and another user, User:Saqib, suggested a resolution. I accepted this third opinion, but the user in question continues to edit war without participating in the talk. Previously, they engaged in similar behavior as an IP, and once the article was protected, they resumed as DTSheikh. Despite being familiar with the edit-warring policy and having received warnings from User:Untamed1910 on another article, their actions remain disruptive. They return after some time to revert various articles to their preferred versions. Their behavior indicates that they are WP:NOTHERE, as they also used unencyclopedic language and engaged in an edit war on Pervez Musharraf. Further warnings are unlikely to be effective. I am reporting them for general long-term edit-warring behavior and not for violation of three-revert rule. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 16:14, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

series of consecutive edits) are considered to be one edit for the purpose of WP:3RR. For that reason, I don't see a 3RR violation per se, but I do see what appears to a form of plain edit warring. I am unhappy that there is limited discussion from the respondent, who made the initial bold edit that has been contested in this dispute.@ Hbzbmb: Please self-revert your contested changes pending discussion on the talk page, in line with the standard guidance relating to the Bold-revert-discuss editing framework, and please engage in discussion on the relevant article's talk page when your edits are contested. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 21:17, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

Edit warring by overlooking Wikipedia policies. The user disregards
WP:NOTDIRECTORY by adding excessive listings, much of which is largely unsourced as well, with remaining poorly sourced with blogs like legodesk.com. Furthermore, the user adds
fictitious references to make it look like it has been sourced, which does not even support the vast majority of the original research. Interestingly, the article itself fails WP:GNG. The user treats this article as a directory rather than as an encyclopedic article.

Additionally, TheProEditor11 publicly reveals that his name is Sanatan Kumar Sinha, who is a guitarist, YouTuber, and belongs to the Chitraguptavanshi Kayastha caste. This goes in line with User:Sanatan Kumar Sinha who has the same description, who was once blocked for self-promotion. Both started by editing Anand Kumar [30] [31]. Additionally, editor ANJANBANIKAGARTALA may or may not be related, similar self-promotion, edited Anand Kumar, and was active between the above two editors timeframe. TheProEditor11 was previously engaged in promotion of his own caste - [32] [33] [34], [35].-- 2409:4073:4E39:D390:658F:4C46:47CF:ACFC ( talk) 10:29, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

This User has been continuing to add unsourced information and remove citation links and disambiguation links at the Hausa people page after multiple warnings on their talk page. It is likely that they are also a sockpuppet account of another IP user whom I reverted their edit for adding the same unsourced information. [42] Cookiemonster1618 ( talk) 05:38, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

User is either unaware or ignoring talk page messages. Frankly, they've also had the list notability policy explained to them very clearly and are simply ignoring it, but I figured it would be better to bring it here than to try to handle this unilaterally.

While I agree the edits were disruptive, I think it's important to note that this edit (the third one listed above) was not a revert—so this was definitely edit warring (and poor communication), but not yet WP:4RR. – Rhain ☔ ( he/him) 22:09, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
Ric36, Special:Diff/1232093236 seems to imply that you understand the issue and will not continue to revert; is this correct? Would you mind taking a moment to describe what made you revert repeatedly earlier / what changed? Thank you very much in advance! ~ ToBeFree ( talk) 22:48, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

This User has been removing sourced information at the Zaghawa people for a few days now and has been engaging in an edit war. When I reverted their edit the second time I gave them a warning on their talk page but they continued to remove the information. Cookiemonster1618 ( talk) 05:16, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
