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.

Comments: This could be resolved if User:Alexbrn weren't so biased in his approach. It has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt that Trueb et al are not scientists but dermatologists. They explicitly state they are expressing an opinion. Opinions from non-scientists are not valid. This is a cut and dry case. AntiSemanticCanard (talk) 07:37, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

• You were previously linked to WP:EW where it plainly says that "being right" is not a defense (and you're wrong in any case). You have been warring against multiple editors. Alexbrn (talk) 07:17, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
• Source of the claim says: 'More recently, Rezende et al. (65) and Trueb et al. (66) published an article, Post-Finasteride Syndrome: An Induced Delusional Disorder with the Potential of a Mass Psychogenic Illness? The authors labeled patients with PFS as psychotic and delusional, as stated in their discussion, “In our opinion, PFS demonstrates some analogies to such controversial “mystery syndromes” as amalgam illness, multiple chemical sensitivity, Morgellons disease, and Koro for the following reasons: patients complain of symptoms that cannot be adequately explained biologically, and the frequency of consultations for the conditions parallels the respective media coverage, which points to a high degree of suggestibility.' No where does it suggest Trueb et al are scientists but merely dermatologists with a COI expressing an opinion. Moreso, the lead author has a history of quackery, writing papers such as "Saint rita of cascia: Patron saint for women with frontal fibrosing alopecia?" and "Minoxidil for endocrine therapy-induced alopecia in women with breast cancer-saint Agatha's blessing?" and having them published in "peer-reviewed" journals. So not only is this 'scientist' not a scientist, he's a bizarre quack with a history writing strange papers with a veneer of scientific integrity.

My conclusion is Alexbrn shares the same religious beliefs as Trueb and is therefore unqualified to edit the controversial topic. AntiSemanticCanard (talk) 07:36, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

• If you have an issue with the content and are in a minority, you need to discuss that issue on the article's Talk page rather than repeatedly reverting everybody. An admin may wish to erase the potentially libellous BLP violation in the above (and there's similar at the article Talk page too). Alexbrn (talk) 07:39, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
• I already did. Nobody, including you, has provided a source for the claim that Trueb at al are scientists. It's been shown they merely run a dermatologist practice and have a COI and a history of authoring papers about Catholic saints performing miracles. AntiSemanticCanard (talk) 08:16, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

RM Trüeb is an ex-professor in the University of Zürich, and credited author of articles and some books. Dermatologists are scientists and, indeed, medical doctors. NikosGouliaros (talk) 17:01, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

• Dermatologists are not scientists. And even if he were, he is not qualified to discuss "mass psychosis" or "histrionic personality disorders" as he is a clinician (not a scientist) of skin disorders. AntiSemanticCanard (talk) 18:28, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

AntiSemanticCanard is continuing to edit war while commenting on this report. - MrOllie (talk) 18:46, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

• The rule explicitly state: "Reliable sources must be strong enough to support the claim. A lightweight source may sometimes be acceptable for a lightweight claim, but never for an extraordinary claim." Dermatologists (with a history of writing quack papers) making claims of "mass psychosis and delusions" is an extraordinary claim. AntiSemanticCanard (talk) 19:05, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Same as the one above. He warned me about making more than 3 edits but he already did? Also I started discussion on the discussion page of both.

This user made a factually incorrect statement about Seattle/Tacoma being a hub for American Airlines. He cites a Bloomberg article that uses the term hub in a general sense, not referring to a specific . Seattle/Tacoma is a hub for American's partner, Alaska Airlines, but it was never declared by AA itself. What this user doesn't understand is that kind of language is used in airport articles all the time when referring to this kind of stuff. That does not mean it passes the WP:V test. Where is the statement from American Airlines announcing Seattle/Tacoma as an American hub? I tried explaining, but he keeps insisting on reverting my edits. Blissfield101 (talk) 21:25, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

You sent me a rule that says it's a "bright-line rule" not to undo another editors work more than 3 times in a 24 hour period. You've clearly done so and therefore you seem to be in violation of the rule you told me about. I await your block.

userlinks:Wjemather --> This user was the one edit-warring by inputting incorrect information. If you go to the section in question mentioned, you can verify that my edits were correct while the undos by the user in question were incorrect and intended to be disruptive. We have gone over this issue numerous times before and he keeps repeating his ludicrous and questionable behaviour even when other admins have stated that I am not under any violation. At this point, I have accepted this user to be an insecure clown trying to cause disruption and chaos over and over again.

• Comment A review of the reported editor's edit history shows a flurry of activity on Sundays—and a pattern of WP:CRYSTAL edits. I am also deeply troubled by the personal attack in the message here. I suggest that Klaysaurus make sure to follow Wikipedia policies and guidelines about sporting events, especially about not forecasting the winner of an event still underway. Otherwise, there may be a Sunday in the near future where the administrators are discussing at the incidents noticeboard whether to topic-ban Klaysaurus from golf tournaments currently underway and their participants, broadly construed. —C.Fred (talk) 13:09, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

• Result: User:Klaysaurus is blocked 31 hours for making personal attacks: "I have accepted this user to be an insecure clown trying to cause disruption and chaos" (see his comment above).

That is a talk page post I started (and largely led) in order to resolve the dispute. isento (talk) 05:15, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Comments:
The article was on my watchlist from when I made an attempt to clean up the wording of one sentence back in February. Isento edit-warred then, too, and I just gave up. The edit in this 3RR report was originally made by a fairly new user, but reverted by Isento with an edit summary of "not important". That seemed like a very poor way to deal with a new user making a reasonable edit. Isento seems to have WP:OWNERSHIP issues. Mo Billings (talk) 03:53, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

This guy has been hounding me ever since that first content dispute at New York Dolls (album), which mind you I tried to discuss at the talk page but the editor responded aloofly and without much civility or intellectual responsiveness and accused me of ownership, which offended me. Then they occasionally followed my edits elsewhere: [27], [28], [29], [30], [31] (another bad faith assumption) ... As for this recent dispute, I thoroughly explained my reasoning for undoing at their talk page (including the fact that the "fairly new user" had cited self-published content to this featured article), but they are too slow to understand that they continuously were introducing inconsistent and badly formatted sourcing and still apparently do not understand that the content they are accusing me of removing already exists in footnote form beside the sentence they are badly rewording. I brought up WP:BOLD and WP:3RR as reasons why the discussion ought to be continued at the article talk page, but they once again chose a measure most severe to me and opened this report. Maybe this is an issue of competence, but I am doubting it. isento (talk) 04:29, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

I have had a busy stressful day and made one of those reverts in haste on my phone at work, and I didn't properly explain in the first edit summary. But this report is unnecessary, after I clearly was willing to discuss this with them. I don't understand this obsession they seem to have with me. isento (talk) 04:37, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Their attitude at the first talk page discussion made it clear they didn't care about engaging with anything I had to say and they even said they don't care about the article ([32]). That they returned to it in this manner, after following my activity elsewhere, tells me they're hounding and/or being pointy. isento (talk) 04:41, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

As the comments above demonstrate, this editor is aggressive and hostile, which does not make me want to engage in long discussions with them over small changes to an article. Mo Billings (talk) 04:47, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

If you don't want to be held accountable for the things you do and say, why should you have any expectation that others ought to be? isento (talk) 04:53, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

@Mo Billings: I see no reason to change the format of the references in that article. I agreed with isento, your edit was sloppy. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 05:29, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

I didn't edit war back then, the time they are referring to of our first encounter. I reverted once, opened a discussion at the talk page, offered a compromise phrasing in another edit, and notified them of WP:BRD ([33]). This person seems more interested in annoying me than in any compromise. I even expressed an openness to their ideas in this current dispute so long as they discuss their point of view properly at the talk page instead of just reverting to their preferred revision. isento (talk) 05:00, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Honestly, I was hoping to take a break from this site when this happened. If you're gonna block me for however long, you ought to ban this person from interacting with me. The earlier encounters, especially his nomination of some subpage I had for deletion, in retrospect are creepy. I don't understand his continued interest in me or my activities. And I don't want to. I had a strong interest and passion for this article because I had devoted much energy and care to getting it to FA-level a while back (and preserving that quality), and this person's interest seems to just be disruptive and petty and not about the article. isento (talk) 05:07, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Note for closing admin: Isento continued to post on my talk page after I filed this report ([34] and [35]). After that I asked them politely to stop. They have posted two more messages since then, both of which are very aggressive ([36] and [37]). Isento seems to have difficulty controlling their anger. I don't think other editors should have to deal with that on a collaborative project like Wikipedia where editors are expected to be able to work together. Mo Billings (talk) 02:40, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

• No violation – Nobody broke the WP:3RR. But if there is still a dispute, the steps of WP:Dispute resolution are open to you. In their comments here and on the talk page, neither party will win any awards for diplomacy. If the issue is that you don't like someone's attitude, there is not usually a good remedy, unless a comment is so bad it justifies a WP:NPA block. EdJohnston (talk) 02:57, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

This user, creator of the article, went berserk after I nominated it for PROD (objected by him) and later for AfD, claiming I am a "hater". Opening a discussion in the Talk page has only had the effect of attracting new anonymous meatpuppets. —Mᵒdᵘlᵃtᵒ.📩 12:38, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Can a senior editor take a look at this? Modulato has an undisclosed WP:COI and (Personal attack removed) to bring La Voce di New York to disrepute and kill its WP article. Thanks Passani (talk) 12:52, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

@Passani: Based on what do you assert an undisclosed COI? —C.Fred (talk) 12:54, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

@C.Fred: I have asked Modulato to affirm he/she has no WP:COI and he/she always refused/word around the request. Plus the amount of work Modulato is placing in repeating false claims that have already been shown wrong without showing any good faith in the discussion. He also makes modifications at the speed of light (meant at triggering some less known rules that relative beginners like me may not be aware of) to cry foul. Passani (talk) 13:08, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

@Passani: Having a page on one's watch list, where they can see as soon as an edit is made, is not evidence of a COI. —C.Fred (talk) 13:11, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

@C.Fred: I invite you to take a look at how the discussion has unfolded in Talk:La Voce di New York to see what I mean. Modulato states that a journalist is not a journalist citing lack of references. I add (more) references to reputable sources and he'll remove them claiming that it is not reputable. Same goes for VNY address (they have an office inside the UN building and provide that address. Modulato uses this info to imply that VNY is representing affiliation with the UN, which they are not). Something fishy is going on here. Passani (talk) 13:23, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

So you are saying that claiming "The United Nations Headquarters New York, NY 10017" to be your address (homepage, at the bottom) means you are not affiliated with the United Nations? Wow, excellent reasoning. And for the record, the public source is https://www.odg.it/elenco-iscritti —Mᵒdᵘlᵃtᵒ.📩 16:57, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

I am saying that claiming "The United Nations Headquarters New York, NY 10017" to be your address does not mean that you are implying affiliation with the United Nations. About OdG, not relevant (Italian-born US journalist vs. journalist registry in Italy) Passani (talk) 19:16, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

For a couple of years, the article stated that this individual is an "Italian journalist", until you whitewashed it two days ago (by deleting "Italian") after my post in the talk page. And please don't keep telling us that you are supposed to be located in "The United Nations Headquarters New York without being affiliated with the United Nations", because it insults people's intelligence. —Mᵒdᵘlᵃtᵒ.📩 06:42, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

As explained in the Talk:La_Voce_di_New_York, when I wrote "Italian" in the original article, I meant "Italian-born". I had no idea that this would be used as an excuse to justify what seems to me as a fully-fledged cyberattack against the page. Anyway, I removed the adjective, so problem solved. Modulato keeps attributing things to me I never wrote. What I am saying is that it is proven that VNY's editor (Stefano Vaccara) is a UN correspondent (UNCA.com website), that VNY has an office inside the UN building (see more evidence at Talk:La_Voce_di_New_York), so providing an address at the UN building does not raise any flag: that's exactly the place where the editorial team can be found on a regular work day. Apart from that, I really need the Wikipedia Gods to start paying attention here. This page is being targeted for deletion by a hacker who knows the system well enough to trick it. In addition to the suspected WP:COI, Modulato has not shown any signs of wanting to cooperate to reach WP:CONSENSUS. Passani (talk) 12:03, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

It looks like nominating an article means you are a "vandal", "hater", and "COI editor". Oh well. —Mᵒdᵘlᵃtᵒ.📩 13:27, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

He keeps insulting (up here) and deleted the RPA tags. Unbeliavable. —Mᵒdᵘlᵃtᵒ.📩 19:48, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

• [And I repeat for the billionth time as seen in User talk:Landroving Linguist#naftenya article under disruptive editing, these sources already contain information that was not transferred into this Wikipedia article that needed to be included in order to properly express the findings of the author.

• [Next time finish my whole sentence for further context: "On the occasion of attacks on the Wollo Amharas in Ataye, Oromia Zone of Amhara Region allegedly by the Oromo Liberation Front and attacks on Wallo Oromos in the Oromia Zone of Amhara Region allegedly by Amhara region militia in March 2021, OPP and APP came with opposite statements, each blaming the other ethnic group for being the cause of the violence and killings.. Which gives equal weight to both sources instead of using only one source that supports your own political views. HOA101 (talk) 14:44, 6 April 2021 (UTC)]

• [I did not remove a sources, I only added several others, you were the one who removed sources HOA101 (talk) 14:44, 6 April 2021 (UTC)]

We've already discussed all of this, again and again. Why are you rehashing this with several other people all the time? All sources have been cited, just because your political views disagree with the sources does not make it unreliable and when there are sources with conflicting views, facts, and evidence both would have to be mentioned instead of just picking one side, especially on issues related to Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa which are almost always controversial with limited authoritative consensus on such topics in the both the academic world and the general public sphere. We've already gone through this before: here are a few examples, User talk:Eridian314#April 2021, User talk:Landroving Linguist#naftenya article under disruptive editing, and Talk:Ethiopian nationalism#Amhara Political-Predominance Era vs. Shewan (Shewan Neftenya) Political-Predominance Era. All of the sources have been cited and things that were already cited in the Oromo Liberation Front article have been copied and paseted to its respective article with the correct citations copyed properly. HOA101 (talk) 14:28, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

@HOA101 Please leave your comment as Above. It looks confusing as you are inserting your statement between into my message. If you want response leave your note in new line. You are keep refusing to answer for this evidence of edit warring and claiming some thing not in the source and removing sourced contents. you responding to an accusation by raising a different issue not related like political believe. we talk about Wikipedia policy not personal believe. I will leave to administrators to judge!MfactDr (talk) 23:20, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Comments: User:Fowler&fowler has been edit warring repeatedly with many different users in a short period of time, including established users such User:Johnbod or User:पाटलिपुत्र. User is a long timer (14 years) and is therefore well aware of 3RR rule. Many of his reverts are vexatory in nature, in addition to exhibiting strong WP:OWN: in essence nobody can edit this article but User:Fowler&fowler himself. He is blocking the editorial process. User shows no remorse for his edit-warring behaviour [59]. पाटलिपुत्र Pat (talk) 21:10, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

I have already replied to this frivolous ANI. One of those edits involved removing a "disputed" tag added cavalierly to a 17-year-old Featured Article, outside of any review process. I have already replied on my talk page. The user is miffed that I took down some of his just-under-the-radar, gray zone, edits on a number of other pages, so is attempting to trap me into making some error, come what may. The proactive admins, such as RegentsPark, who oversee the India page, are not around, and won't be until the end of this month, so POV-promoters are feeling emboldened, and I'm helpless.

Comments:

The editor had broken 1RR/WP:AMPOL restrictions on Ben Shapiro. The editor had been given many opportunities to self-revert, but they have refused. Dr. Swag Lord (talk) 22:10, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

The above user has been asked to provide a good reason as to why the reversion should be granted, i.e. why the information added to the page ought not to appear, and has repeatedly failed to provide a reason and only made threats re possible sanctions etc. This is not good faith.--Jamirowikee (talk) 22:14, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Endorsing block. Jamirowikee's response on their talk page and here indicates they do not see anything wrong with violating WP:1RR. Vaselineeeeeeee^★★★ 22:16, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

The user endorsing block is the user who first removed the information i.e. vandalized the page due to their own personal views. Their endorsement is therefore considered worthless. No user has yet provided a reason why the information should not be included on the page nor have they acted in good faith at any point by engaging in meaningful dialogue despite repeated requests to do so. It is senseless that the parties who wish to remove relevant information be allowed to do so with impunity, while failing to engage in dialogue, and then demanding sanctions be placed on those who revert their vandalism. --Jamirowikee (talk) 22:22, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

I removed this section three weeks ago after it was amplified by Jamirowikee on the grounds of WP:UNDUE and WP:NOTNEWS. It was stable. Now when you add it back and is reverted right away you follow WP:BRD. You don't edit war past WP:1RR. That is the reason you were brought here, and it is troubling that you do not see that it is the edit warring that brought you here, not your content. Vaselineeeeeeee^★★★ 22:25, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Many policy-based reasons had been provided, as shown here, here, and here. No vandalism has occurred either. Dr. Swag Lord (talk) 22:29, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Vandalism has occurred in the form of removing relevant information due to user's personal opinions. @Vaselineeeeeeee it is evidently the content which has brought us here as numerous good faith requests for reasons to omit the information have been made, none of which have been responded to, only threats made. This is not good faith. As stated, it is senseless that vandals be allowed to remove any information they wish to omit while simultaneously allowing threats to be made against those who revert this vandalism. Good faith dictates the user who wished to remove the information ought to have entered into dialogue in the first instance, however this did not take place. The information added and later removed, reverted being the issue in question, is relevant to the subject's page, coming under the section for the subject's views and the information pertaining to the subject's views on music. --Jamirowikee (talk) 22:40, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Making vast assumptions and generalizations of an editor is not good faith last time I checked. Vaselineeeeeeee^★★★ 23:12, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

No vast assumption has been made, nor vast generalisation offered. Only a request made in good faith for a good reason that the information be removed from the subject's page has been requested, and in bad faith users have refused to provide any such reason and made only threats and now raised this issue with admin. Again, in good faith, it is requested that a good reason for the information being removed be provided. Upon receipt a reversion will be forthcoming. How many times must this request be made before an answer is provided? --Jamirowikee (talk) 23:24, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
