Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 {{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.

I have edited an article about Benedict Wong to be in-line with almost all media mentions of him, and of the real state of affairs. The man is British by birth, but of Chinese Ethnicity, not English. Nudrien (talk) 11:51, 11 April 2026 (UTC)
Nudrien has decided to start a discussion, after four revisions, where they talk about how I can't block them (well, yeah, hence this report), BRD and they go into detail about Wong. They also accuse me of a personal attack ("knock that shit off" is not a personal attack). I've asked them before to use the article's talk page, but they started the discussion on my talk page still. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 12:05, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

Reporting user ~2026-22313-31 for edit-warring (Result: Page already protected)

Hi,

I wish to report this user: ~2026-22313-31 for edit warring.

He has been reverting my edit of summary of critics reviews without proper justification

Talk page topic: User talk:~2026-22313-31#Edit warring warning: about critics summary of Dacoit movie

He has also been reverting the collection of the movie inspite of repeated explanations that 6.5 cr from Firstpost is India net and WW gross is >13.5 on first day per every other reliable source which have been cited. That has been mentioned in the revisions as well as in the talk page.

Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: Trackstarx started a discussion themselves here

There was also a previous discussion started on Trackstarx's talk page by SIGM17 here.

Diff of ANEW notice posted to user's talk page:

Comments:
There's some nuance to this, in that SIGM17 (talk · contribs) has also been reverting repeatedly and has made arguably insufficient attempts to engage in discussion. But they have not done so after an edit warring warning on their talk (they were warned once, but have not reverted since).

On the other hand, Trackstarx (talk · contribs) has been reverted by multiple other editors and received multiple talk page warnings. Their edit summaries show issues like WP:OWN (stop reverting my page for weaker text. i bet my life's savings i'm more knowledgeable about Traore then you are) and casting aspersions on other editors (User:SIGM17 quit Wikipedia:Tendentious editing Traore's page just because you dont like the family code his government introduced).

Perhaps this is an argument for just protecting the page temporarily. --AntiDionysius (talk) 23:19, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

"Trackstarx started a discussion with themselves here"? I'm not Trackstarx open up a sock puppet investigation if I am him block me but I guarantee you, you won't find anything. I checked his profile he's only been on Wikipedia for three days so he's new he probably doesn't understand the rules good yet so it you're going to block him I think it shouldn't be a permanent block. Because of what I said on the talk page he thinks that means he's got consensus because another editor agrees with him so I think you should be patient. You told me earlier to assume good faith I think you should too. If you think he's my alt which he's not you can open a sock puppet investigation they won't find anything Kpop777 (talk) 23:54, 11 April 2026 (UTC)
I wasn't saying anyone was anyone's alt. I was saying that Trackstarx themselves opened a discussion, as opposed to someone else opening a discussion. AntiDionysius (talk) 23:57, 11 April 2026 (UTC)
oh sorry I misread you Kpop777 (talk) 23:58, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi Asukite, thanks for coming here instead of reverting further. "WP:3RR" is clearly not a good reason for joining an edit war. If I understand correctly, doing so is a predefined option in RedWarn, so I have now requested for that to be removed. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:27, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

This recently created account has consistently only been doing unconstructive and disruptive edits to multiple articles and refuses to communicate despite being left several notices on their talk page of their offenses such as; Changing the VERIFIED professions of these Japanese artists Nagi Inoue, Shiori Kubo, Asuka Saitō, Minami Umezawa, Yuki Yoda, and Nanase Nishino among many others. Basically it's whole edit history has been dedicated to just changing these artists professions to what they personally believe to be their "actual" work. After I left them with several notices/warnings on their talk page, instead of refraining from the offenses, it proceeded to go anon to continue it's editing habits.

Comments: He opened a report instead of just using the talk page. I requested the user to use the talk page many times and they refuse. They simply are not concerned with being amicable towards me. Good-faith edits are reverted, any attempts to use the talk page to discuss are ignored. I don't see this as being valuable to the process when I am willing to discuss further and the user won't engage with me. I suggest this report is closed and the user simply uses the talk page topics and the open RfC on the Talk page to engage. (Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_paradoxes#Request_for_comment:_Many_inclusions_in_this_list_are_not_actual_Paradoxes) Note: this RfC was opened before the user filed a report and they have still not commented on anything on the Talk page.
