Shortcuts

This page is for reporting active edit warriors and recent violations of restrictions like the three-revert rule.

Update this 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.

Stadt67 reported by ConeKota (Result: Reporter warned, reported user partially blocked for 2 weeks)

Stadt67 is a blocked sockpuppet. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:30, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Stadt67 is edit-warring on Oliver Tree and broke 3RR by making 4 reverts in 24 hours.

Here are the diffs: 1. 2. 3. 4.

They are reverting multiple editors to consistently place their own version and seem to be the only editor doing so. After they left me a message on my talk page saying I broke 3RR (which I don't recall doing so) for which I later responded to, I left a message on their talk page about their behavior and breaking policy. They later deleted my message, accusing me of retaliatory behavior, and threatened to report me to ANI instead of discussing a solution to said edit war.

Since they refuse to use the talk page and keep breaking the revert limit, I'd like an admin to intervene in this and hopefully resolve this. ConeKota (talk) 02:00, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

ConeKota, reverting a revert with an edit summary of "I'm not going to have an edit war with you" () has some degree of irony in it. Please generally don't, especially in biographies. I don't think WP:BLPRESTORE applies in this case but WP:ONUS does. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 09:17, 17 June 2026 (UTC)
@ToBeFree ConeKota's behaviour ought to be took into account too:
1. Fundamentally wrong. Cause of death should not be listed in the infobox unless the subject is notable for such a death. Since Oliver Tree is more notable for being a musician and internet personality than his death, such an inclusion in the infobox is unwarranted.
2. Copied and pasted the warning I gave them onto my talk page:
3. ConeKota never asked or wanted a solution. I was right in that regard. ConeKota waited days until bringing it here, the only interaction or discussion was a retalitory 3RR warning (see diff) and saying they'd report me.
ConeKota was neither civil or co-operative throughout the process. I'm asking that this be reviewed too. Stadt67 (talk) 11:43, 17 June 2026 (UTC)
1. Irrelevant to my behavior (?)
2. Copied and pasted the warning I gave them onto my talk page: I completely own up this. I honestly mistook their warning for an automated warning template, which is why I reused said text. I apologize for that nonetheless.
3. ConeKota never asked or wanted a solution. Stadt67 wrongfully warned me, deleted my talk page message after I notified them of their 4th revert, and threatened an ANI report first. I only brought this here because they refused to engage and escalated. ConeKota (talk) 12:03, 17 June 2026 (UTC)
1 is important as that's what the whole dispute is about. To deny the biography manual of style is to do with behaviour.
To address number 3 I do not remember a notification of the 4th revert, and had left their own talk page open for days which I considered to be non co-operative. Stadt67 (talk) 12:24, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

I'm unsure to which degree the use of the term "race realist" by ~2026-33664-65 in the edit summary of Special:Diff/1360176520 is a quote or racist by itself. The term seems to have been used there in a context against someone promoting, if the statement is correct, scientific racism.
It's beyond the edit warring itself and a matter for WP:ANI if I have misinterpreted this edit summary as non-racism. I'll close this report with the protection applied to the page. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:07, 19 June 2026 (UTC)
