Shortcuts: WP:AN3 WP:AN/EW WP:ANEW Use this noticeboard to report recent violations of the three-revert rule, and active edit warriors. Listing instructions Do not continue a dispute on this page. You should try to address the problem through dispute resolution. Also consider whether a request for page protection may be appropriate. (Uninvolved users may wish to move disputes to a more appropriate place.) When reporting a user here, inform them of this, possibly in conjunction with the {{uw-3RR}} warning template. Be aware that the administrator dealing with your report will also consider your behaviour and therefore the person filing the report may also be blocked to prevent further disruption. If you are reporting a long term edit warrior, please provide diffs of recent disruptive behavior, along with any relevant discussions and or warnings. Please be sure you understand WP:REVERT. A 3RR report helper tool is available, which helps simplify diff gathering and reporting. Be sure to remove non-reverts from the report or it may be rejected. For how to make diffs, see Wikipedia:Simplest diff guide. To link directly to the history of any page, insert {{ph|page title|link title}}, replacing "page title" with the page you want the link to point to and replace "link title" with the text you want to appear on your link. The template will also suppress the appearance of the external link icon with the internal link. Definition of the three revert rule Contributors must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period, whether or not the same material is involved. A revert is any action, including administrative actions, that reverses the actions of other editors, in whole or in part. Consecutive reverts by one user with no intervening edits by another user count as one revert. The three-revert rule does not apply to self-reverts, reverts within a user's own user space, or reverts of obvious vandalism, banned users, copyright violations or libelous, biased, unsourced, or poorly sourced controversial material which violates the policy on biographies of living persons. Definition of edit warring Edit warring is a behavior, typically exemplified by the use of confrontational edits to win a content dispute. It is different than 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.

There is a suspicion that this user is the blocked vandal IP: 86.136.213.236, which has caused much disruption to many articles. Note I am not the only one who has reverted his edits. He has made suspected disruptive edits here. He has totally vandalised this article as well as this article. He is a suspected sockpuppet of this blocked user (this will need further investigation. The behaviour on many articles on surnames seems to be like a bot and needs a more advanced user than me to investigate.

There has been considerable discussion on the talk page, and no comments from Rachelbirnbaum. I've attempted to discuss it, and after other input pared down the previous changes rather than removing them and starting again, but there has been no response, just reverting the page. I apologize if I messed something up here, I'm new at this. EvilweaselSA (talk) 23:41, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

• I just see a bunch of edit warring between new users including both of you. I blocked both along with another account indef and semi-protected the page. Secret ^account 13:21, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

• • With respect, I think it might be a bit more complex than that - but agree that the indefs and protection will settle the dispute for now.

Comments:

User: MariAna Mimi has a history of edit-warring, and was blocked for edit-warring on this very article only 2 weeks ago as seen here. The article page in question was also fully protected by an admin for 2 weeks. Now that the two weeks are up, MariAna Mimi is back up to her old tricks and is deleting and reverting the same content from a reliable, reputable source in favour of her own choices that are more flattering towards the article subject. She was also told by the admin who blocked her 2 weeks ago that she has to start using the talk page to discuss changes and seek consensus before she reverts. However, all she has actually done is revert the material then placed her reason for doing so on the article talk page, which is not engaging in discussion or gaining consensus at all. She has reverted the page 3 times in the past 16 hours, despite attempts to discuss the matter on the article talk page and another warning about edit-warring placed on her own talk page. Though this isn't technically surpassing the 3RR (yet) there is a clear pattern of edit-warring behaviour present with this user (she was also blocked for edit-warring in June 09 as well as 2 weeks ago, and received a final warning from another admin on 26 November 09 for edit-warring on other articles). It's obvious she has learned nothing from being blocked so I feel a longer block should be issued for this persistent and disruptive behaviour. 80.47.73.66 (talk) 10:42, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

I don't see a clear 3rr here, only three reverts, no block Secret ^account 13:38, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

The user has continued edit-warring after this report was filed and has now broken the 3RR rule. A new report has been filed below as this one is now marked as "dealt with". 80.47.93.242 (talk) 05:43, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Remember that this noticeboard isn't just for reports of 3RR, but also edit warring generally. The user was blocked just weeks ago for edit warring on the article, and has resumed aggressive editing tactics immediately once the two week full protection expired.

3RR violation and on-going edit-warring.

—Bidgee (talk) 13:04, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

I especially like the last comment from user M i k e y 86: "please discuss with me before changing"! And to add my two bits, I have had to ask this user to get familiar with the aviation project guidelines - which they insist on dismissing, preferring to do what they feel like and say things like "Unfortunately readers will not know about this "project" and standards of "pleasantness" and "prettiness" should be up held. Reader want something that is well structed, if it isnt it makes for an unpleasant reading experience, in which the "Project" should adopt these important standards". And that's just one of many examples. Jasepl (talk) 14:46, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Not a formal 3RR, but this editor does seem to have his own special preference for how an airport article should look. I don't notice him waiting to find consensus, and I see that he restores his preference numerous times after it's reverted by others. EdJohnston (talk) 03:49, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

• Page protected – there appears to be a content dispute on the page. Consider dispute resolution. NJA (t/c) 20:11, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

I disagree with the comment that this is primarily a content dispute. The content guidelines at WP:Airports are very clear on the layout and hierarchy of airport articles. Jasepl (talk) 22:38, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Agree with Jasepl on this. Jasepl clearly pointed at the guidelines set by the Airports project however the editor didn't take the advice and continued to push their view and lay-out, hardly a content dispute. Bidgee (talk) 04:34, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

User:Pantherskin has previously edit warred this page and now is blindly reverting a synthesis tag, the issue has not been adequately resolved on talk. --Martin (talk) 05:59, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Nice to see that you did not even notify me - the 3RR bogus link you provided above is not a warning, and is from December 2. What could shed light on the situation is this ongoing Arbcom case, see [Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Eastern_European_mailing_list/Proposed_decision#Disruption_7] where Martin has been found to have participated in tag team edit-warring organized on a secret mailing list. The other editor who reverted one of my edits, Miacek was also part of this mailing list. See also this proposed decision (which almost surely will pass) [Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Eastern_European_mailing_list/Proposed_decision#Editors_under_revert_restriction] which would include Miacek and Martin.

I removed the synthesis tag three times, the first revert in this report is an edit that restored content removed by an account registered on December 2, with exactly one edit under the belt at the time of the edit (see [72]). Only amazed at how quickly this new account found exactly this sentence in this obscure article. Note that there was a discussion at the reliable source noticeboard that brought one involved editor, User:The Four Deuces, to the article. He agreed with the inclusion of the material, as did implicitly the uninvolved admin User:Alex Bakharev, who originally added the information about her work at the radio station [[73]]. Since the article and the talk page is filibustered by Martin, with repeated removal, taggings and claims of synthesis. Pantherskin (talk) 17:13, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, but other editors also have issues with synthesis, removal of the tag or personally attacking myself does not make that issue go away, nor does it entitle you to edit war either.. --Martin (talk) 18:32, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

* No violation – there must be four or more reverts within a 24 hour period for the 3-Revert Rule to apply; the links you have provided do not meet these criteria. Further, you both need to just sort this spat out and be done with it. If you're having trouble, see WP:DR. NJA (t/c) 19:49, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

EdJohnston states that 3RR has been breached here. The first is a revert with the edit summary: "Undid revision 332472269 by Bobwikwiki (talk)". The 3 others are reverts too. --Martin (talk) 19:55, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

• Comment I strike my previous comment, sorry, yes there was a 3RR. However it does appear the issue is being discussed. Thus the disruption issue isn't currently a threat, however if edit warring were to continue please re-report for a block. NJA (t/c) 20:05, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

As I wasnt aware of three-revert-rule before I was reported here, I should have at least received a warning by Martintg. There was none. It seems that this report is not about preventing a revert war but about getting me blocked and about winning a content dispute. Note that Martintg fully participated in this revert war, and he only stayed below three reverts because Miacek also participated, what strongly reminds me of the revert wars coordinated by the Eastern European mailing list. I know by now that I need to be more careful with reverts, but my point stays that this is a bad faith report. I will refrain from editing at this article for some time, as the stonewalling of the EEML members makes normal editing and article improvement discussions almost impossible. Pantherskin (talk) 20:32, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

[[74]] so much for Martintg being concerned about preventing an edit war.... Pantherskin (talk) 20:36, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Note that whilst a warning that you violated 3RR and you've been reported here is preferred, not doing so doesn't excuse someone from breaking the rule, nor does it preclude a block for breach. NJA (t/c) 21:32, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

The IP insists on reverting to their own version of things, despite several explanations from three experienced editors. In addition, IP's comments on my talk page are re-added, every time I remove them. 3RR violated on my talk page as well.

• Attempts to explain, or to warn the IP resulted in IP blanking their talk page.
• A courtesy that this report had been filed also resulted in the talk page being blanked.
• An explantion on the article talk page was also reverted by the IP.

And you also didn't see the messages Nancy Meyer left on your talk page? Sure. You called me a vandal which is not constructive. Saying you've moved on doesn't change what you've already done, it just means you refuse to apologize or take responsibility. If you get away with it this time then you'll know you can do it again to someone else. Qikr (talk) 18:13, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

I am taking responsibility for the fact my anti-vandal software went directly to a Level 2 warning without asking me, because of a past mistake of another editor gave you a level 1 warning which mentions nothing about vandalism.

Comments:

The same material was first introduced by IP 89.176.112.74 (see diff). After it was reverted, the IP added it again (see diff). Then the page was semi-protected to prevent further additions. The subsequent edits by User:Vryadly sought to restore the same material. A brief analysis of the contribs for Vryadly and the IP seem to indicate that they are almost certainly the same individual. -- Scjessey (talk) 00:58, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

So you are basically admitting that because semi-protection prevented you from edit warring as an IP, you were forced to log in so that you could continue the edit war? That's unbelievable, quite frankly. And then you have the audacity to file a (malformed) 3RR complaint against me? -- Scjessey (talk) 02:28, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Scjessey, there's enough evidence for a clear block. No need to continue this. Both accounts were warned, yet continued to edit war. We simply need an administrator to review this. Viriditas (talk) 02:29, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Quite a strong language. I was editing the page adding new emails relevant to the article. Right after I corrected the reference that had been pointed wrong to me, I found that the page was closed for unregistered users. So, yes, I had to recall my password and log in in order to continue editing the article. Then I found that a group of people is deleting my edits without bothering to give any reasonable explanations, and notwithstanding my wiliness to correct the issues I had been informed of. Right after I corrected the reasons you cited for deleting the emails, you deleted them again. So, yes, I have the "audacity" to report you on editing war.

Besides, if you took your time to look into first four edits, you would find that they were exactly edits, not reverts Vryadly (talk) 02:41, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Comments:

Taking into account the timing and the similarity of action (no attempts to edit the article, no attempt for meaningful discussion, just deletion of information relevant to the article), the actions of users User:Scjessey,User:Tony Sidaway,User:ChrisO and User:P Carn have been probably coordinated.

Moreover, due to the fact that the first time the reason cited for the deletion was wrong reference, but even after the reference (WSJ) was corrected, the deletion continued, the deletions were caused apparently not by Wikipedia rules but by a partisan agenda.

Comment: I believe this has been discussed extensively on the talk page, and the user is required to discuss their proposed changes on talk and join the discussion, no matter how many accounts they use. See report immediately above this one. Vryadly is using multiple accounts (including 89.176.112.74 (talk · contribs)) to edit war. Recommend that this report is closed with prejudice and that both Vryadly and 89.176.112.74 are blocked for intentional disruption. Viriditas (talk) 01:57, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Comment - this is obviously a bad faith retaliation, and the diffs provided clearly show that neither the letter, nor the spirit of WP:3RR have been violated by me. The edits were conducted under the auspices of WP:BLP, with proper warnings given. The malformed report above actually combines the edits of four separate editors. -- Scjessey (talk) 02:17, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Vryadly. Viriditas (talk) 02:18, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Comment Yes, it was me from the IP, though I was not "using multiple accounts for editing wars". Right in the middle of an edit I was doing, the page was closed for unregistered editing, so I had to log in to continue editing it - only to found my previous edits deleted. Vryadly (talk) 02:33, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

This is certainly an interesting departure. An edit warrior and probable sock puppet files a complaint against the multiple editors who reverted his nonsense, on the grounds that their edits must have been coordinated and therefore must be sanctionable. --TS 02:37, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

--Akhilleus (talk) 16:43, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

The 2007 edit-warring case seems old, but the behavior of BruceGrubb in the current dispute is worrisome. It is plausible that he may be using 67.42.65.214 to revert in favor of his point of view. (How likely is it that both the IP and BruceGrubb would support including Remsburg's work in the article?) I left a message on BruceGrubb's Talk page and asked him to respond here. BruceGrubb appears to be in a minority on the talk page, since no-one else supports including Remsburg, but he reverts anyway. A conciliatory response from him might be enough to avoid admin action. EdJohnston (talk) 23:08, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Please compare Special:Contributions/67.42.65.214 and Special:Contributions/BruceGrubb. Both have edited Christ myth theory, Psystar Corporation, Jack T. Chick, Time Travel, and Rorschach test--it's pretty unlikely that this is coincidence. I linked to the edit warring case from 2007 simply to show that BruceGrubb is aware of the 3RR rule. --Akhilleus (talk) 01:08, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Result - 31 hours, edit-warring to force Remsburg's theories into the article with no support from others, and use of a sock in an edit war. Block may be lifted early if the user will commit to an acceptable style of dispute resolution regarding this article and related ones. If Bruce will agree to an RfC about Remsburg I trust the other editors will be ready to join that discussion. EdJohnston (talk) 02:16, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

I've had no prior involvement in this dispute before this ANI report.--Atlan (talk) 21:29, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Comment - relatively new user - but with possible problems relating to POV issues (see Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#User:Radical-Dreamer) I have explained to this editor the various issues involved (see link), but they are not really taking that much notice. There is a wider POV problem beyond breaking the 3RR which is explained on the incidents page. The last edit shows them ignoring other editors, yet clearly aware of the problem.

Comments:User displays hostile and combative attitude, as evidenced by this message [112] he left on my talkpage. Same goes at Talk:Bulgarisation#POV_edits [113]. Note that it was I who started the discussion. Prior to that, the user contented themselves with sterile reverts (using his rollback tool to do so, no less). Although he participates in the discussion, he shows no intent to stop edit-warring. A block is warranted, as is a suspension of his rollback rights. --Athenean (talk) 22:05, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Only 107 can be regarded as a revert as the other two edits didn't return to my previous version.

I don't understand what is meant by hostile and combative. I was just arguing against the idea that I was POV pushing.

I've defended my recent edits on the talk page and tried to accomodate the opinion of the other editors. It can hardky be said that I intend to continue edit warring.

Kostja (talk) 22:12, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

From WP:3RR: "A revert is any action, including administrative actions, that reverses the actions of other editors, in whole or in part." 106, 107 are in whole, 108, 109 are in part. And you do show you have every intention to continue edit-warring, because you reverted even after you joined the discussion. --Athenean (talk) 22:15, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

I didn't revert an action in part but added additional information.

I didn't revert after joining as I've explained above.

Kostja (talk) 22:19, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

The only "additional" information you "added" was to replace "Most" with "Part". Hardly a substantial change. The spirit of the last two diffs is identical to your first two reverts, and as such, is a rather straightforward breach of 3RR. --Athenean (talk) 22:24, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

• Result - Article protected 3 days. I don't see a clear violation of WP:3RR by Kostja, but he did misuse rollback in a content dispute. This happened at 11:31 and 13:44 on 20 December, so his rollback is suspended. He may apply at WP:PERM to have it restored after a reasonable time. All parties are warned against continuing to revert the language about previous Bulgarian ownership of the territory invaded in 1941, without first getting a consensus on the talk page as to what to say. Blocks are possible if that dispute continues after protection expires. An explanation of WP:DIGWUREN is hopefully not needed here. EdJohnston (talk) 04:40, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
