    Update this page

    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 {{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:
    CoptEgypt136 changed the lead photograph in the article Carlo Maria Viganò without discussion on the talk page or using an edit summary. I reverted and posted a message on their user page reminding them to use edit summaries, especially when altering or removing someone else's content. They deleted my talk page message without comment and restored their preferred image, again without an edit summary. I reverted once more and posted a formal warning on their talk page. They undid my revert and again restored their preferred image. CoptEgyp136 has a light editing history, but that history contains several warnings for violations of Wikipedia policy. They have removed most of these warnings from their talk page, but they're there if anyone checks the history. A block is urgently necessary in my view. Display name 99 (talk) 01:23, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Bbb23, seriously? This user reverted content twice with no edit summary. They haven't yet broken 3RR, but their action was still inappropriate and they have given no indication that they will stop. Display name 99 (talk) 12:36, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Warned. I agree with Bbb23. They were only warned about edit warring after the reverts linked above. I gave an additional warning and mentioned edit summaries specifically.

    Comments:
    User has one more revert containing copyright violations. They continued to add undue material about the subject and violating MOS:OVERSECTION and WP:RECENTISM as well. They were notified about contentious topics and continued to revert, so I'm not sure whether this report is better filed in arbitration enforcement. Apologies if that's the case. KyleJoantalk 03:04, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User just reverted my edits three times in 22 minutes. Fillionaire (talk) 03:14, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    User (KyleJoan) has spent the last week deleting every attempt to provide neutral information on the Tony Dokoupil controversy. Fillionaire (talk) 03:17, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Also, front-page stories from the WSJ, WP, and NYT are not "undue material." Fillionaire (talk) 03:19, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    No violation of MOS:OVERSECTION as the content comprised two well-sourced paragraphs. User (KyleJoan)'s argument is that the "Controversy" section is not longer than the subject's "Career" section which is irrelevant. User (KyleJoan) has also arbitrarily suggested that I should simultaneously edit the article for CBS News which is also irrelevant. Fillionaire (talk) 03:22, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
