    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.

    Comments:
    Was planning on retiring from Wikipedia until I noticed this user deleted a significant amount of my work with little to no explanation, WP:WIKIHOUNDING. In his edit summaries, the user accuses me of being a "sockpuppet" (without proof of course), I've had previous encounters with this user that led to a block. I think his block record shows he has a history of WP:OWNERSHIP on multiple Eritrean related articles. User has been made aware he has been editing in a contentious topic since March[11].

    The user constantly pushes for the inclusion of a royal pretender as a leader of Romania. Braganza (talk) 18:14, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    • Declined. They didn't violate 3RR, and while they have made four reverts, the last one was over 24 hours ago. There's also been no attempt at discussion of any kind on the article talk page or their user talk page and they weren't given any kind of warning before being reported here. Please try to discuss the disputed content first. - Aoidh (talk) 02:58, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User has been warned multiple times[18][19][20][21] and even given specific guidance on the WP:BRD cycle[22], which led to them opening a discussion on the article's talk page[23], unfortunately they then continued to edit war[24] after opening that discussion for which they were again warned on the discussion page[25], which they did not heed and continued warring[26][27] fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 12:13, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Excuse me, but you started the war by senselessly modifying my legitimate contributions. Everything I've changed is true, and I've started a discussion in the group, which you haven't bothered to participate in. Your attitude is not constructive and undermines the good work of Wikipedia. DanielG.M.S.S.N (talk) 12:30, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    On top of that, you're intentionally mixing up "warnings" on different articles to make it seem like they aren't. The first warnings I received, as you call them, were due to my complete ignorance of how editing works on Wikipedia. I beg you to stop tarnishing my good name. And I'm not going to report your misconduct because, unlike you, I believe in dialogue as a method of conflict resolution. DanielG.M.S.S.N (talk) 12:36, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Comments: This flighttime user thinks that Ashba's personal facebook page is not a reliable source of information. He began an edit war trying to remove info about Ashba's divorce. The sources are properly cited. This should be the end of the discussion. Instead, he has constantly vandalized my own talk page and the Ashba wiki article.
