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.
You must notify any user you have reported. You may use
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.
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:
The previous edit warring report was declined due to "an indefinite block very possible and seeming likely" in the ANI thread [9], which I thought as well. However, despite 4 supports for a indef block, the report got auto archived. Now Alhitmi123 is back at edit warring, making up a new lie to remove sourced info. This user is WP:NOTHERE. --HistoryofIran (talk) 13:26, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- wow all of that because i wanted the readers to have an actual real academic source? I still have faith that the moderators are actually going to make a logical decision. Adding unrelated sources and opinions will just mislead readers into the wrong conclusion. Please double check the citations, and if you have a credible source with an author, you can mention it. I would be the first person to support you in that. Alhitmi123 (talk) 14:21, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- If you used less time complaining about me on Reddit (and yes, I saw your other posts too, very charming, perhaps use some of that energy into sources) and some actual time looking into the sources you call unreliable, you would easily see that Encyclopedia Iranica is in fact reliable [10] [11]. You have jumped between four different excuses now [12] [13] [14] [15], WP:NOTHERE. HistoryofIran (talk) 13:22, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
@Bbb23: I see you declined a prior report due to the AN/I case mentioned above, which was never resolved. In light of the revert warring, I find somewhat disturbing the relative dearth of talk page discussions about content. ~Anachronist (talk) 20:08, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Anachronist: No, Daniel Case declined it.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:26, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Woops. Apologies. You commented there, and somehow my brain registered your comment as the decline. ~Anachronist (talk) 00:58, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Anachronist: Thanks for blocking them. Unfortunately this has led them to resort to personal attacks once more, once again proving that they are WP:NOTHERE:

- The reported user does have serious WP:CIR and WP:BATTLEGROUND issues. After this report and their above comment, they did it again.[16] --Mann Mann (talk) 12:55, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
Declined As much as I do not see this ultimately ending well, Alhitmi hasn't edited the page in a couple of days, and this report is about to get archived. Daniel Case (talk) 20:25, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Alhitmi hasn't edited the page because I had blocked the account for 24 hours. And then forgot to close this case. ~Anachronist (talk) 22:18, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Comments:
The user initially edited with an IP (see here: 14:21, 6 September 2024 (UTC) but then logged into their account once that was reverted. They are persistently adding unsourced content and ignoring warnings on talk page. The user also seems to have trouble adding references. They are trying to cite an "Enkay Publishers" but not including any further information. Ixudi (talk) 15:05, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

See also the revisions deleted for copyright violations; this editor has reinserted this copyright violation five or six times in the past three days. Warnings have been given for copyright violations, although not for edit warring per se, and been ignored. Additionally, there is a section at ANI about this editor's behavior, which they have also ignored. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 14:18, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

IP was blocked last week for edit warring and is edit warring again now that the block is over. This IP seems to be a block evasion of 95.248.34.201 and 87.9.223.167 as they share the same location and were active in the same articles. Yonasse (talk) 16:50, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
