Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring

Welcome to the edit warring noticeboard
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. 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.

Note: I've reported their wider history of edit-warring at WP:ANI (see archive) but it didn't get any attention. Their edit-warring has continued since then. R Prazeres (talk) 00:19, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi R Prazeres, you can't "revert" an edit war. You can participate in it. You did so. Fortunately, this has been a while ago and the latest reverts are between عبدالرحمن4132 (who should provide clear edit summaries or use the talk page when reverting) and Aqua.107, the former of whom has stopped edit warring and the latter of whom has made far more reverts and taunted the others, leading me to the conclusion that their current inactivity is only because their preferred revision is online. If you want to make such decisions easier in the future, please follow proper dispute resolution next time. The essay WP:DISCFAIL is the most helpful advice I have seen about this so far. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:11, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Comments:

Persistently adding the same content without following WP:ONUS. Disagreeing views are labelled "vandalism". From a post on my talk page I suspect they might be a block-evading sock. Austronesier (talk) 15:04, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Firstly opened a talk page for vandalism as the Austronesier without any discussion, kept on removing the content which is peer reviewed paper and conducted study by Harvard medical school geneticist Dr. David reich and his collaborations with CCMB,Hyderabad and published genetic data of modern day south Asians. I asked him to discuss on talk page but he just attacking me which you can clearly see in our talk page named vandalism alert. He falls into the definition of vandalism. Kindly help us out. Thanks. DivineWave (talk) 15:22, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Edit-warring to the max and not willing to grasp what vandalism means:[10]. –Austronesier (talk) 15:48, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Instead of attacking me with those words i suggest you to provide reliable source for your disgareements regarding your disagreements because this is official research which is being taught in educational institutions and acceptted by all scholars and it is peer reviewed. Research was done by Dr.David reich ,havard medical school scholar and geneticist along with CCMB,Hyderabad. Already i advised you to discuss on talk oage yet you are continuing attacking me instead of discussing with me and sharing your source. Kindky encourage fruitful discussions and dont use such strong language. Reporting will actually work against you .thanks. DivineWave (talk) 16:41, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
