Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring

Welcome to the edit warring noticeboard
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.

They have been told that changing something that is in line source cited and has a fully formed/sourced wiki article at the very least needs to start in the talk page. I gave more detailed info on their talk page with a plea for them to go through the proper steps. Their response was to accuse me in their last revision of being the reason the terms disagree with what they think they should say. Warned about edit warring.

User does not source and does drastic changes to the content of article without so much as a edit summary. I accidentally reverted another user's edit, USER:StarkReport, who was merely attempting to fix USER:Khassanu unsourced changes. I apologized profusely to USER:StarkReport which can be seen in my talk page.User:Khassanu refuses to use article talk page and doesn't respond in user talk page.RCSCott91 (talk) 23:31, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Comments:
User is more than likely a sock of an IP blocked last month for disruptive behavior/edit warring/etc - this specific IP was also already reported yesterday at WP:ANI for block evasion, but no action has been taken yet, and they're continuing to actively disrupt articles (as seen in this report). As for attempts to resolve the edit war/discussion/etc, see the original IP's repeatedly-blanked talk page as well as this whole thread, which led to the initial IP's block, and this other ANI report from their first attempt at block evasion - while not specifically dealing with Walcott himself, it does deal with their refusal to accept the consensus of an RM on NHL entry draft titles (part of the Walcott edit war) as well as their edit-warring on other pages.

This is a chemical article. Politics don't belong. There is a current event that is attracting attention and editors are inserting accounts of it in numerous places. There is no need to edit war about it on this page. ConstantPlancks (talk) 05:30, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

Comments:
This user has spent weeks edit warring on these pages. I found their knowledge of Wiki-specific terminology suspicious for a newer user, so I asked whether they had edited under another account. They refused to answer and suggested it was uncivil to ask that.[25] KyleJoan^talk 08:42, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

Declined The editor could certainly stand to benefit from civility lessons. But they have engaged in talk page discussions, and valid points that they seem to have made have not drawn any response yet. One could just as easily report the other editors involved. In fact it seems like it would be a more viable option to full-protect at least some of the pages (common gull, especially) that we might bring other editors into the discussion to better reach a consensus. If you want that, I'll do it.

And, really, ANEW is no more the place to make stealth sockpuppetry allegations than SPI is the place to report edit warring. If you think they're a sock of a specific editor, go to the former page and report your suspicions there; if privacy is involved, contact a Checkuser privately. Otherwise, AGF requires that at best you see them as trying to make a clean start. Daniel Case (talk) 19:10, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

• The edits summaries and dickish commentary made it clear that this is WP:BKFIP and the technical data bears this out. Blocked indef.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:24, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
