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. |

New user insists on adding an unnecessary shorthand for a TV series. Three reverts in less than an hour. I myself just hit the undo button again, but reverted myself. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 17:52, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User being reported: 80.3.122.252 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
Various IPs, mostly 80.3.122.252, in a long-running edit-war over the recent history of Donald Campbell's water speed record boat Bluebird K7.
There is some very POV editing going on, with a total disregard of either the need for sourcing, or the sources that are available. This is very likely a spill over from an acrimonious real-life situation between a museum and the team who have spent years restoring the boat. It's also fairly widespread on Twitter. One of the parties here, @Nigel PG Dale: has a traceable IRL identity, is active on Twitter and has been expanding the article, not always perfectly according to local WP practice, but always with GF and a willingness to edit afterwards to meet WP's restrictions. Then they're just reverted or blanked by an IP who thinks they can write anything. And, being an anon IP, so far they can do.
More eyes needed. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:21, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I saw that the IPs have also been busy on the Campbell page ... we can protect that, too, if need be. If it gets to the point of blocking the IPs, the 83.137 one, based on London, is dynamic so we will have to calculate a range. Daniel Case (talk) 19:29, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The user is removing a section under Culture, regarding the Cultural Autonomies Act, with a different reasoning given every time. The latest revert claiming "racism" is especially difficult to respond to, as this is both untrue and also irrelevant to the topic.

Based on their latest response, it does not appear they are going to use the talk page. They are a single-purpose account that has only made 8 edits, all to this page. Their username looks like it's a company as well [1]. – notwally (talk) 09:36, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This comes less than 24 hours after their last block expired. They've also made multiple personal attacks[3][4] and have said they intend to keep edit warring and don't get about being 'banned'[5][6]. Clearly WP:NOTHERE. — Czello (music) 14:07, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This individual keeps deleting factual information that is cited from a published author as facts. And deleting information about a notable individual in the notable people's section. And then falsely claiming that this is vandalism I would like for them to be blocked from editing this page. Sssueueh (talk) 11:30, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have updated current world rankings from the official FIVB men's Volleyball World Ranking page (https://en.volleyballworld.com/volleyball/world-ranking/men). The reported user keeps reverting my edits without any explanation, abusing his administrator powers. I am sick and tired of having to report edit wars with such users who don't bother checking updated official data and just revert any update that THEY 'don't know where it came from'. Wikipedia truly needs to deal with such overbearing editors who take liberties and undo other editors' work for no real reason. These ego-trips need to stop. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NoWikiNoLife (talk • contribs) 16:49, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments: Blocked – for a period of a month from article as a contentious topics block appealable to ArbCom only. They were made aware of CTOPS two weeks ago. I have logged this at CTOPS under IPA, but since the edits in question also involve the infobox this sanction can be seen as coming under that topic area as well.
