Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring

Welcome to the edit warring noticeboard

Shortcuts

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.

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.

Hi, I only reverted 3 times the registered users. I did not edit warring, I explained how the source fails in WP:OR and WP:V. The source is controversial because it is nationalist partisan and makes revisionist and irredentist ([HAZU case) claims on Bosnian and/or Serbian Cyrillic works, most of them simply labelling as "Croatian", dishonestly ignoring and mistreating its details. It's controversial and should not be in the lede. I checked the source, and there is no page, quote or passage stating that. It's WP:RS and WP:OR problem. --~2026-36874-46 (talk) 08:22, 26 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to be the same user hopping IPs and edit-warring across multiple articles, most of which are covered by WP:GS/AA. The IP has made no contributions to any talk page discussions either, despite my warning, and multiple warnings by other users. Grandmaster 08:29, 26 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

TSK 1608 has reverted my good-faith edits three times in a short period without providing sources or proper discussion. I tried to discuss on their talk page and the article talk page, but they continue reverting.

Reply to C.Fred

TSK 1608 is now edit warring on two pages. He just reverted TAI Anka-3 as well (removing "multirole fighter" description):

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=TAI_Anka-3&diff=prev&oldid=1361214578

Despite 3RR warning on his talk page and block threat ("If you keep this up, you will be blocked"), he continues.
