A short explanation of the incident.

Booby is aware of the 3RR rules as he has previously entred into a debat about someone else being baned for this (and has asked why others have not been baned). Moreover he edited more then just four times (about 7 in fact). Many of which are rather insultiing in their reasoning.I never intended to do this but will be unable to edit many of his revisions without violating the rule myslelf Slatersteven (talk) 20:33, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

He has not made a violation. If he makes several edits consecutively (i.e. with no other users in between), those edits only count as one revert. He has thus made only two reverts in the 24-hour period. Because of the dispute, I've protected the page for three days; please discuss the changes with him on the talk page. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:01, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

This is not a technical 24 hour 3RR violation, but nevertheless deserves action considering the user's block log (and you would have to go see all his sock puppets to get the real effect here), history, and refusal to stop edit warring even after objections were raised on the talk page.

The user continually edit wars on many articles, but is often clever enough to count. I hope a block will caution him to build consensus. I'm making this report per WP:3RR "Editors may still be blocked even if they have made three or fewer reverts in a 24 hour period, if their behavior is clearly disruptive." ——Martin^phi ☎ Ψ Φ—— 01:19, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Most of the edits are ancient. There is no WP:3RR violation here. If you have issues with the editor, the correct venue is a Request for Comments. If you suspect sockpuppetry, request a checkuser. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 08:14, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Sockpuppet used to circumvent 3rr violation. RFCU has been filed. [10]. The result was a possible. [11] removal of infobox that was already in discussion. user is new to article and conensus has not been reached. user has a strong history of reverting and undoing the work of others.

• First revert is out of time. I am deferring to another admin as to whether the "possible" result on checkuser is enough to block Yemal. Stifle (talk) 09:50, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Comment: Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Plasynins was opened by this same user. It was closed shortly afterwards. See my comment there about this nonsense, I dont think editing the same page as a person once and a "possible" checkuser result is a reason to block anyone. Yemal (talk) 19:10, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Is there any reason this is still open? The page in question was protected days ago and neither user has been active since then. The sockpuppet report was closed, why has this report not been???? Yemal (talk) 19:59, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

It was closed with a possible being the reason. Meaning it wasn't denied that you are in fact engaging in edit warring and are not the same person. As a result you could be still be blocked or at least given a warning for 3rr vandalism. User Playasins hasn't been on and took a "wikibreak" most likely as a result of a sockpuppet account being discovered. Armyguy11 (talk) 10:29, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - I'm not sure if this is needed. Both users are either new or ip's and I don't think they were aware of the 3RR. I warned them and there hasn't been any violations since (I would've reported them if there had been). Therefore I'm not sure if it's still necessary to bring this issue here. I'm new to the AN/3RR though, so correct me if I'm wrong so I can learn from my mistakes. Cheers, Spawn Man ^{Review Me!} 06:47, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Done. I would suggest that you don't make so many reverts yourself though. You've made three (just under the limit), but the limit of 3 reverts per 24 hours doesn't mean you should use that limit. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:18, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

• Thank you. Just to explain, it is not that I want to do multiple reverts, but as far as I understand, WP:BLP requires removal of poorly sourced allegations. Whether they are poorly sourced or not I hope we can establish at the discussion page of the article. Thanks again. Kulikovsky (talk) 00:48, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

• Just a brief note: the edit war in this case was actually started by User:Kulikovsky whose actions also amount to censorship and WP:Vandalism. The issue was discussed at the discussion page and Belkovsky's opinion did not enjoy any majority. The allegations are presented as such, not as facts. As those have been made in credible publications by a number of well-known persons, they noteworthy and relevant.Muscovite99 (talk) 17:55, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

User:V-Dash is currently engaged in an edit war with IP 172.216.161.58. I am unsure whether 3RR covers an edit war on a users talk page, but I thought I should report it just in case. They have reverted each other several times in the last couple of hours. As of this report, V-Dash has reverted after I posted a 3RR warning on his talk page (the warning was posted in between the 4th and 5th revert); IP 172.216.161.58 has also violated 3RR on this talk page after the warning, and that report is filed below. I also feel it prudent to note that V-Dash has been warned multiple times about 3RR, and also been blocked for a 3RR violation in the past. He also has a history of attacking other editors, and sockpuppetry. MelicansMatkin (talk) 01:58, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Sterile edit warring in multiple articles. This user is repeatedly deleting cited material and inserting biased and one-sided statements in articles Zaporozhian Cossacks‎, Ukrainians in Russia‎, Kuban People's Republic. --Hillock65 (talk) 15:12, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm rather disinclined to block only Kuban kazak, as both he and the reporter are edit warring (even if the latter hasn't technically violated 3RR). I'd be inclined to block neither or both (and given that both have a history of blocks, the latter seems preferable to me). Heimstern Läufer (talk) 18:09, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Back in October, Wikignat blanked a well-sourced, but controversial part of Alan Keyes' article. He was mean-spirited and did not assume good faith on the part of the editors at the time. His points were discussed patiently and a consensus of editors (myself, Dlabtot, and JamesMLane) determined that the information should be inlcluded. Last night, he blanked it again, this time providing sources to "prove" his points. I considered the sources and wrote a compromise. He reverted the compromise. In between, Dlabtot undid his blanking and mentioned that it should be kept. JamesMLane also came by and informed Wikignat he was wrong. Wikignat tried and failed to get the page protected, so he reverted again. I warned him of the 3RR back in October and again today. I also responded to him again on the talk page. Despite this, he reverted for the third time, so I am now reporting him. --20:37, 13 December 2007 (UTC)Jdcaust (talk)

User:Spylab has been fanatically obsessed in changing the lead of the Neo-Nazism article into making it appear that neo-Nazism is an ideology, when in reality, the ideology is Nazism (neo-Nazism is the term). This is supported by the sources I've cited, and the sources User:Spylab cites (for some reason, he interprets them in a different way). So Spylab has been engaging himself in constantly reverting the changes made by me and several other users into his own POV. The article has been locked recently over this, and I think it's time to block Spylab as a warning and hopefully he will get the message not to editwar over this.

It's not a 3RR violation if the edits are reverting vandalism. My reverts were merely restoring a link, one since added to the referenced citations, that was lazily being deleted and replaced by a completely irrelevant wikipedia article rather than editing it to be a referenced citation (which I ultimately did). User:Hu12 is being less than honest here. And lazy. --24.28.6.209 (talk) 22:43, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

You continued edit warring/Disruptive editing, despite the discussions, warnings and opposing consensus from editors and/or administrators on the talk page. You chose to continue reverting in pursuit of a certain WP:POINT, rather than discuss.--Hu12 (talk) 22:53, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

"...blocks aren't used punitively or to give someone a message, only to prevent disruption." Huh...I didn't know that. Did you know that, User:Hu12? 'Cuz, you seem to want to indulge in some sort of punishment for my reverting of what you know I took to be vandalism and destruction of information. So if blocking is being inappropriately bureucratic, what is an appropriate punishment for repetitively keeping Wikipedia's articles from being vandalized by dilettantes...being invited to Knol? --24.28.6.209 (talk) 23:29, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

This case seems to be an attempt to impose one's own view of "standards to apply" rather than those of the community. Wikipedia's guidelines are generally accepted among editors, such as WP:3RR and is considered a standard that users should follow. Wikipedia policy is quite clear here: the responsibility for justifying inclusion of any content rests firmly with the editor seeking to include it. You engaged in an Wikipedia:Edit war as a way of attempting to win a content dispute. A contentious fact does not become uncontentious by virtue of repetition.--Hu12 (talk) 23:37, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

And I made the simple effort to fix the article via a referenced citation, while you -- repetitively -- insisted on using a Wikepedia article for reference that effectively had nothing to do with the content of the article.

• Diff of 3RR warning: 12:43, 17 December 2007

The easy way to see the reversion is to look at the casualties infobox and the casualties section of the article before [70] and after [71] the reversion. The article had been basically stable since Tiamut's version [72] on November 30, 2007. Tewfik initiated this latest round of major blind reversions. Armon tagged along after Tewfik. On November 28, 2007 on Armon's talk page Gatoclass pointed out [73] a previous 3RR violation by Armon concerning the casualties section of this article. Armon self-reverted that time. This time Armon made a few more edits of other articles after I left the 3RR warning on his talk page, but did not self-revert this article. Tewfik and Armon have been gaming 3RR for a long time concerning this article, and Tewfik has gotten other people blocked with his 3RR gaming. The purpose has been to obfuscate Palestinian civilian/noncombatant casualties. Almost all discussion on the article talk page since early August 2007 has been about casualties. --Timeshifter (talk) 20:44, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

• The individual was warned after the fact, as this is the case, I am assuming that he/she did not know about 3RR before. Therefore no action. nat.utoronto 21:41, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Did you read what I wrote? Armon was warned about 3RR a few weeks ago, and self-reverted. So he knows about 3RR. Further warnings about 3RR are a courtesy, not a requirement. Also, Armon has been editing Wikipedia since February 2006 and well knows about 3RR since he has been editing contentious Israeli-Palestinian conflict articles for a long time. Also, quoting you from a comment higher up; "3RR is not an entitlement, but an "electric fence"". --Timeshifter (talk) 22:30, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Strothra (talk) 23:17, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey now; I don't have a bunch of people to join me in my side of this 3RR, like you and your buddies play the WP:GAME to get what you want, even if you refuse to answer the talk page before adding unsubstantiated, unreferenced claims about Juan Carlos. I love the guy a bunch, but he's no imperial claimant, except by you, User:Michaelsanders and perhaps a few other Wikipedians. You are not the source. Bring a source, cite it as said. The article on Juan Carlos has to follow the same format as preceding monarchs of Spain. The claim that he alone is a Byzantine claimant is without citation, while neither the preceding monarch and his heir have this succession box. You can't just place this succession box in the middle of nowhere, while it is clear that the rest of the Spanish monarchs' succession boxes nowhere include the title "Byzantine Emperor", except for those few involved with Andreas Palaeologus. Look, I am a serious monarchist and sincerely believe in the Spanish monarchy. I expect serious editors and not blind fanatics who have not cited references. This issue would be best left to the talk page. Throughout all this edit warring, you have not substantiated this claim, just readded what appears to be a WP:HOAX to many of the PhD.s in history here at Wikipedia, like User:Clio the Muse, User:Xn4, User:Adam Bishop and User:John Kenney. In fact, I defer to their expertise almost constantly. You should listen to what they have to say; they know their stuff! Follow editorial convention and cite your historical sources, if you have any. As far as you've shown me, there are none to be had. I will stop removing this data if you have a source, properly in context and not distorted shamefully to serve a warped POV. So, who says that Juan Carlos is the current Byzantine claimant? In my defense of "breaking the 3RR": Talk:Philip_I_of_Castile#Philip_never_claimed_the_title_Emperor_of_the_Romans. Michael Sanders has been continually attacking my edits without foundation. I have been forced to stave off both an absolute monarchist (Strotha) and Sanders, whose own profile page indicates his willingness to use Wikipedia as a vehicle for personalized conflict, in which he'll never give up what he believes in. Look at Sanders's block log: [74] Also view the talk page on Juan Carlos, where we are presently articulating the nonsense being peddled forth here: Talk:Juan_Carlos_I_of_Spain#Juan_Carlos_doesn.27t_claim_the_title_Emperor_of_the_Romans. The original discussion is here: Talk:List_of_titles_and_honours_of_the_Spanish_Crown#Proof_of_Byzantine_inheritance. I even posted this dispute on the talk page of Sanders (User_talk:Michaelsanders#They_never_called_themselves_his_heirs.2C_or_used_the_title_.22Emperor_of_the_Romans.22.) and he ignored it, rather than address the pertinent issue. He returned to revert warring, instead of discussion. I have been discussing this issue point for point with the great and respected minds of Wikipedia, in addition to keeping this article at a sane, citable level (although I haven't actually looked at the rest, because I'm only interested in the dubious Byzantine aspect of it). If this Strotha or Sanders can "pwn" me with knowledge of my error on the data (which I've checked and compared with respectable Wikipedians), rather than how I've acted per 3RR, then I wont ever edit these articles again! More backdrop of this discussion, which apparently nobody has picked up on: User_talk:24.255.11.149#Byzantine_claims/User_talk:Tourskin#Talk:List_of_Byzantine_Emperors/Talk:List_of_Byzantine_Emperors#Spanish_Royalty.3F 24.255.11.149 (talk) 07:24, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

I too (like 24.255.11.149) find the 'Byzantine Emperor' claim 'questionable'. However, being combative over it's inclusion isn't the way to go. GoodDay (talk) 17:38, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

A request: User has a history of contentious editing, having once been banned for a year. As I and other users will readily attest, his pattern of disruptive editing has continued. I think the problem here goes well beyond 5RR (!) and that perhaps a community ban of significant duration is in order. Any advice or help in implementing that would be much appreciated.

Controversial article that just came out of protectiona few days ago. As a semi-involved party, felt I should report this as its a BLP and accuracy there is super-important.

Mbisanz (talk) 19:53, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't wish to get technical rather than adhering to the spirit of 3RR, which I do very much believe in, but my initial edit [94] was not a revert, but the addition of new information that came out in today's New York Times. I won't revert it any further, and I do apologize if I've misunderstood the guideline, but I do not believe I have violated it. For a discussion as to whether this issue is actually BLP (it involves in fact a dead man, George Romney) please see [95] Thank you very much, and I appreciate everyone's input. Qworty (talk) 20:04, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

I think it is clear that this is a violation of WP:BLP as an example of WP:COAT. User Qworty has been attempting for some time to add to the Mitt Romney article allegations of previous racist misdeeds by the Mormon Church to the MR article. I was following guidelines under WP:BLP by which the 3RR rules does not apply. Arzel (talk) 20:10, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Just an note that Qworty's original edit (ending in id 262) was never included in this report. Arzel's revert of that edit was included as his first revert. Mbisanz (talk) 20:09, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, my original edit is part of the report. It's the first one you mention, incorrectly noted as a "revert." The edit history shows [96] that I have made four edits to the article today (Dec 18). The first edit is the addition of new information from the New York Times. The next three edits are reverts. I never did make a fourth revert and have no intention of doing so. Qworty (talk) 20:23, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

I do not believe this has technically reached 3RR, however there is clearly edit warring going on. I also agree with comments elsewhere by Arzel regarding BLP and NPOV concerns. I am warning everyone against edit warring and have warned Qworty about BLP issues. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 20:36, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Struck Qworty's name, as technically he has not reverted an article 4 times in 24 hours. Please forgive my math error Mbisanz (talk) 22:19, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Honestly, Arzel should have been blocked. And I support his side in this content dispute. BLP is being taken extremely loosely in this instance, and to use it as an excuse to violate 3RR is ridiculous. The Evil Spartan (talk) 07:26, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

• The alleged first revert of mine is an expansion of the article incorporating inputs from both contesting parties, and hardly constitutes a revert to an identical version. Also the "Previous version reverted to 2007-12-19T02:35:15" is a version that HongQiGong endorses and the one he has been reverting to. Not me. --Saintjust (talk) 04:31, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Domer48 (talk) 23:41, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Is the third diff a revert? It appears to immediately follow the edit identified as the second revert, which would seem to imply this is a self-revert or a single revert over multiple edits. In any case, I've already protected the page from editing; will leave this report up for another admin to respond. – Luna Santin (talk) 00:21, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

No violation. Reverts 3 does not count as it is a revert without edit-warring (part of two consecutive edits by the same user). R. fiend's actions may require scrutiny but this is no place for that. Stifle (talk) 11:17, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

User:JHunterJ reported by User:Abtract (Result: Invalid)

• Three-revert rule violation on

MS (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). JHunterJ (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log): 01:34, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

This user is an admin so should know better even without a warning!

I was simply trying to improve MS as I have done before (it is a page that interests me for personal reasons) and I was reverted without discussion. I may well have been off on the wrong track though I think I have put the page right now ... but at not point did JHunterJ make any attempt at dialogue, preferring to revert me ... as an admin he should know better. Abtract (talk) 01:34, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Reverts were of different edits that User:Abtract was trying to foist upon Wikipedia without forming consensus (BRBRBRBR rather than WP:BRD); in particular the fourth revert was after a complete. See also Talk:MS to see how the edits are contrary to WP:MOSDAB and consensus there. This is not the first time Abtract has engaged in disruptive edits here or on other articles. Perhaps I should have protected the article earlier in the sequence... -- JHunterJ (talk) 02:39, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Response The fact that the reverts were of different edits (and they were marginally different in an attempt to improve on my previous attempt) is immaterial, as this admin should know. My edits were all in good faith and in no way intended to be "disruptive" (indeed I have never tried to be disruptive but I have been carried away occasionally with an attack of overenthusiastic "knowing I am right", which is wikistupidity I know) but I received very little guidance from JHunterJ who simply reverted with the briefest of non-helpful edit summary - note I was the first to use the talk page - it was only after his 4th revert that he had the decency to give me chapter and verse on where I was going wrong (an admin's job surely?). I have now put matters right but with a version of the page changed from that of a few days ago, an improvement I believe and in line with policy. I would have done this earlier if advised properly from the start.

To be honest I wouldn't have reported JHunterJ had he not been an admin but surely he should have known, and behaved, better? Abtract (talk) 10:15, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

I believe you should take the trouble to read the edit summaries I used, such as this one on the first revert: "Disambig page style repair: (you can help!), restore Microsoft, de-bold, etc.)" which links to the dab project. You have also been repeatedly referred to WP:MOSDAB, and you are editing MS knowingly contrary to it without forming consensus. -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:06, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

• The supposed old version reverted to is a version after the third revert. Therefore it is not proven that the first edit quoted is actually a revert. While I have plenty of ideas as to what should and shouldn't be on the page, this noticeboard isn't for discussions. Stifle (talk) 15:23, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

I apologise that this isn't following the correct template. I was watching recent edits, and came upon this edit war.

I firmly believe that User:Xchange is editing in good faith. However, his edits demonstrate a non-neutral viewpoint, are speculative, rely on random definitions for terms such as 'Large Format' include spelling mistakes, and are generally non-encyclopedic. Other editors, including myself, have tried to reason with him, but he does not appear willing to listen to and/or accept our arguments and requests that he attempt to achieve consensus. Please review this matter as time allows and make judgments according to your expertise. If you feel that I am in danger of violating WP:3RR please let me know how I should change my editing behavior in the future to avoid such danger, and understand that I will not engage in further edits on this article until admins have weighed in. Also, any suggestions as to how I should handle similar situations in the future would be much appreciated. Many thanks. Fbagatelleblack (talk) 16:40, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Continually reverting against consensus. Although he hasn't reverted a fourth time, he periodically returns and performs the same edits against consensus. I believe he is breaking the spirit of the rule. I believe there is another incident here. Anthon01 (talk) 01:12, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Not sure why this report was even made when you said yourself that the editor in question has not reverted a fourth time. --Kralizec! (talk) 02:06, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Because the 3RR says you can be in violation even if you haven't reverted more than 3 times. Anthon01 (talk) 05:26, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't really see a situation that needs blocking here, although Quackwatch QuackGuru really shouldn't have reverted this many times. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 06:50, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

While I'm not defending QuackGuru's very bold editing and edit warring, the term "consensus" is very dubious in this case, especially considering who brought this to the table and the other editor who is opposing QuackGuru. They too are edit warring, editing disruptively on multiple articles, and they have a habit of claiming a consensus when it doesn't really exist. Warnings to all parties would be more appropriate. -- Fyslee / talk 16:03, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Who brings it to the table doesn't matter. You are making blanket accusations without any diffs. Prove it. I had one incident several weeks ago and was blocked (I am a new user and completely misinterpreted the meaning of WP:CCC). Other than that I have not violated 3RR. There was a consensus of one section that is "Quackwatch as a source." QuackGuru repeatedly tries to change it to two sections, one called "Recognition" and the other called "Criticisms." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anthon01 (talk • contribs) 17:30, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Concur with Fyslee here. See also this thread on the talk page of one of the involved users. I note that Anthon01, after filing this report, went on to 3RR by partially reverting my only edit (which was, in turn, a revert of material removed by QG). This seems to make this a questionable report and Anthon01's third series of edits now looks like part of the edit war (diff). Avb 16:31, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

This is the text that QuackGuru removed "Bao-Anh Nguyen-Khoa, PharmD, in a review published in The Consultant Pharmacist, recommends that Quackwatch implement formal peer review processes for their web site."

This is the text that Avb later placed on the QuackGuru Quackwatch article that I edited soon after "In a 1999 article in the The Consultant Pharmacist, Bao-Anh Nguyen-Khoa PharmD gave Quackwatch a positive review for two articles that discussed "natural remedies" and reported that pharmacies continued stocking such alternative remedies although unaware of their efficacy, as the profit margins were larger than for conventional drugs. Nguyen-Khoa recommended that a mirror "academic counterpoint" and a more rigorous review process be put in place to improve the website as a resource for consultant pharmacists." Although related, it was very different text.

I then removed a WP:OR violation edited it to this "In a 1999 article in the The Consultant Pharmacist, Bao-Anh Nguyen-Khoa PharmD discussed of two articles from Quackwatch of particular interest to pharmacists. The articles reported that pharmacies continued stocking alternative remedies although unaware of their efficacy, as the profit margins were larger than for conventional drugs. In discussing the site limitations, Nguyen-Khoa recommended that Quackwatch institute mirrored "academic counterpoint" and that a "giant step toward true legitimacy would involve active peer review of the articles to be published, a logical transition for a site that relies on so much of the accepted medical literature as its foundation." Anthon01 (talk) 19:07, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

I have repeatedly pointed out the format change of this radio station both in my edit summaries and on my talk page. He has repeatedly "templated" me. User has previously been blocked for a 3RR.

(Full-disclosure) I should also note that upon checking the edit history, I may have violated the policy myself in the process of updating the article to include the new, updated information. In this case, I lost count of the edits, and I have not reverted since my edit here, where I thought I was at 2R and haven't edited further since. If I, too, must be blocked for a period of time, I will accept that punishment. JPG-GR (talk) 20:09, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

It should also be noted that to violate the 3RR you have to make 4 or more revisions, I stopped at 3. - NeutralHomer ^T:C 20:11, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Beta, stay out of it. JPG, your second diff, wasn't a revision. I use TWINKLE for my revisions or I say "revert" in the edit summary. That was a simple cut and paste. Still 3. Sorry. - NeutralHomer ^T:C 20:16, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

If it looks like a duck (all the difs are identical) and quacks like a duck (you have a history of blindly reverting me), calling it "not a duck" doesn't make it not a duck. JPG-GR (talk) 20:19, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

I've detwinkled Neutralhomer, but nobody need get blocked here. Moreschi ^{If you've written a quality article...} 20:17, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, Moreschi. Now, here's the question - should I wait 24 hours to be safe before updating the info in the article as reflected on their website, or am I good to do so now? Thanks. JPG-GR (talk) 20:20, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

JPG, I can answer that one and it is yes. To be on the safe side though, you should wait at least 30 hours. If you go 24 hours and 1 minute, some admins can still consider it a 3RR violation. - NeutralHomer ^T:C 20:23, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Gentleman, perhaps you could both stop reverting each other and use the flaming talk page, which seems to be complete virgo intacta. Moreschi ^{If you've written a quality article...} 20:25, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Anonymous user at 71.241.117.196 keeps reinserting I Am Legend into the article List of zombie movies even though Box Office Mojo and the movie's own promotional materials do not classify it as a zombie movie. The anonymous user's opinion that it's a zombie movie is not a sufficient source for inclusion. User was warned after the fourth revert, but made a fifth revert anyway. Doczilla (talk) 21:17, 23 December 2007 (UTC) A sixth revert has now appeared. Doczilla (talk) 21:22, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

• 8th revert: 16:51, 23 December 2007
• 9th revert: 17:43, 23 December 2007

Unfortunately, this means that someone else has also committed a 3RR violation despite advice to avoid doing that, so an additional report will follow. Doczilla (talk) 23:54, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

A more formal warning followed, after the other person in the edit war had already been blocked. 18:58, 23 December 2007

An anonymous user kept inserting a movie onto List of zombie movies. Other editors, including myself, considered that to be a bad edit. That's a difference of opinion, though, "arguably" vandalism as noted by the admin who blocked the anonymous user but not obvious vandalism per exceptions stated in the 3RR policy. I put a note in the article stating why that particular movie should not be added to the list, but I added that note after these reverts started, therefore its removal by the anoymous user was not vandalism of existing article content. Irishguy kept reverting even after I cautioned him not to make a 3RR violation. Doczilla (talk) 01:07, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Irishguy believes he was reverting vandalism, according to his comments on the talk page. I believe this is completely incorrect, and that Irishguy was edit warring with no justification. Blocks of admins are always controversial, and I frankly haven't got the time to put up with drama at this point, so I'm not willing to block without a second opinion at this point. (To anyone who says this isn't fair that admins get a free pass when another user would have been blocked: get us to the point where these blocks can be made without drama, and I'll be equally ready to make them.)

Repeated movements of an image from one section of the article to another, over the objections of numerous editors, which come on the heels of a similar edit war (involving gaming of 3rr) to try and remove the image altogether . Isarig (talk) 04:54, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Moved, I filed a similar report as I too was watching this page at the time. That is now deleted. Note that he's been removing this image from the lead for 4 days now, and has been reverted by 7 different editors. I came in and tried to mediate a compromise but the belligerency has only continued unabated. And he's been editing for 3.5 years, and is well aware of the 3RR policy as evidenced by this and this and this. Lobojo (talk) 04:57, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Hmm ... I've looked over the time diffs, and it appears as though I did accidentally violate the 3RR. I apologize for this; I thought that I was within my rights to carry out the last edit, but apparently I forgot the time. I'd self-revert, but someone else has already beaten me to it.

I might add that the "belligerency", such that it exists, is not all on one side in this matter. There's a nasty content dispute currently taking place, and tempers are running a bit high. (Btw, the "reverted by seven different editors" line is a complete misrepresentation. There have been several editors involved on both sides of this content dispute. A few days ago, I put forward a compromise text that seemed to have support from across the spectrum. Most of the other participants have since left the discussion page; two editors have continued to oppose me.)

I'm not particularly impressed with the fact that I wasn't informed of this 3RR report, nor with the fact that it wasn't filed until someone else had reverted me (thereby preventing the possibility of my self-reverting), nor with the fact that I never received a warning (the "Difftime" link doesn't lead anywhere). CJCurrie (talk) 05:05, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

I might also add that User:Isarig had not edited Wikipedia in six days before filing this report, and that User:Lobojo filed an identical report a few moments after (since removed). Somehow, it seems to me as though people were waiting to pounce on an accidental slip-up ... CJCurrie (talk) 05:09, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

CJ, you know about 3RR and thus a "warning" is no needed. You are no newbie... Regardless of the heated dispute, recurrent reversions are not acceptable. As I have edited that page recently, I will not block, otherwise I would. Better, would be if you desist from an editing behavior that includes recurrent reversions. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 15:52, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Standard edit war over arguably unsourced information, but the user is an admin and should know better. Might have stopped if he (she?) had left it as the more neutral wording, rather than completely obliterating the paragraph. As a side note, the user has also semi-protected the page, a distinct no-no for admins, though I realize that should be handled elsewhere. -- Y|yukichigai (_ramble argue ^check) 18:02, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

• The page has already been full-protected by another admin. There is some realization on User Talk:Edokter that he was wrong to edit-war and to abuse semi-protection. I don't see any rationale for a block - since the page has been protected already and there's some level of contrition, it would be merely punitive. I'll leave a note; so long as the problem doesn't recur, we can probably leave it there. MastCell ^Talk 22:38, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

• 3rd revert: 18:32, 24 December 2007
• 4th revert: 18:42, 24 December 2007

Note that per the three-revert rule, "A revert means undoing the actions of another editor, whether involving the same or different material each time." By this standard, all removals of good-faith content constitute reversions, as they reverse the actions of the editors who added the content. Moreover, IronAngelAlice has an extensive history of disruption -- see Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/IronAngelAlice. John254 20:35, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm letting the wording in one of the latest edit summaries stand (and add a warning on the user's talk page). The first edit as a reversion is questionable. Going by a common sense definition, simply removing something from an article should not be considered a revert. There is no evidence here that IronAngelAlice was attempting to revert at least part of an edit (i.e. start an edit war); she was simply removing content that was added who knows how long ago. Additionally, there is not evidence of a 3RR warning before the violation. -- tariqabjotu 03:48, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Editor seems to be on an edit-war at a couple of articles, Michael Behe and Objections to evolution. In both cases, he's violated 3RR. He has not specifically reverted to the same version, the editor appears to be gaming the system by make slightly different edits with the same net effect of removing the statement.OrangeMarlin ^{Talk• Contributions} 09:19, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

• What I see is good-faith attempts by Gus to wikify the text and find a compromise (no opinion on my part on whether it's a good one), all well explained on the talk page, and a combined effort by two users to push him over an imaginary 3RR limit. 3RR should not be abused by forming a tandem. Guido den Broeder (talk) 11:56, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
  • I suppose it depends... I see a user with a talk page full of requests not to edit-war, who went well over 3RR (which, while it may be somewhat arbitrary, is hardly "imaginary"). 3RR is not so much about the content of one's edits, but about edit-warring as a tactic. In any case, this user was already blocked for 1 week by Raul654 (talk · contribs) for disruption, so further discussion here is probably moot. MastCell ^Talk 22:35, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

ScienceApologist continually reverting against consensus. He refuses to address the issues on the talk page as he can not justify his actions there. The text that he is reverting and claims is POV pushing, is directly form the text of of a peer-review journal, a WP:RS. He reasons are unjustified and against consensus. I warned him here, but he saw it fit to remove my warning from his talk page. Anthon01 (talk) 21:53, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

If you reread the citation, you might change your opinion. The text was taken from a section titled "limitations." And SA text conflated two problems into blantant WP:OR. Anthon01 (talk) 23:31, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

• Seems to me that there is far too much concern about exactly what constitutes a 3RR violation (Talk:Quackwatch#Time_for_article_protection_again.3F and Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive344#Edit_vs._a_revert), rather than using the talk page to achieve a consensus. --Ronz (talk) 23:09, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Action is required for prevention of editwar posed by Huaiwei. He is an experienced editor and openly breaks 3RR rules.Coloane (talk) 09:38, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

See [179]. The above user has chosen to ignore reasoning in edit summaries and talkpages, wikiwars concurrently in another article, and has received warnings by multiple users for his actions, yet persists in wikiwarring.--Huaiwei (talk) 09:56, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

In his edit war with Huaiwei on Singapore Changi Airport, Coloane has also broken 3RR. This report is yet another of Coloane's attempts to bait Huaiwei. Coloane previously made an anti-Singaporean personal attack, calling Singaporeans "semi-handicapped", during a discussion with Huaiwei; my warning to him was met with a trollish response. When troublemakers like Russavia, Instantnood (now banned) and Coloane leave Huaiwei alone, he is an excellent and dedicated editor. --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 10:11, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

The 1st edit is not my revert. I didn't ignore Huaiwei's comment and I gave him response in the talk page of Singapore. I already apologized for my comment made in 2007 Southeast Asian Games, so it is quite irrlevent to mention this matter. However, for Changi International Airport, Huaiwei clearly reverted more than 3 times, it is a fact, isn't it? for me I updated the information/reference in that article from 2006 to 2007. Coloane (talk) 10:22, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

The 1st edit is not my revert. All the 4 diffs I provided were of reverts made by you to Singapore Changi Airport. I already apologized for my comment... Diff of apology, please. What do you think of my suggested compromise? --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 10:35, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Three reverts or four is not the only determination of policy violation. Gaming the system counts as well. I hope this serves as a final warning to you not to think that you can simply restrict yourself to three reverts a day on a sustained basis. There is a talkpage to hammer out differences in detail. Use it.--Huaiwei (talk) 10:43, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

I just wonder who is the person really good at playing games according to so-called Gaming the System that you mentioned here? at least for one to add updated information or reference in that article is playing games, isn't it? the one who was adding the old information/reference and misleading people is not playing game, is it?Coloane (talk) 11:08, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps you may wish to read WP:3RR in greater detail before commenting further. I hope I have reasoned correctly that someone who makes nominations here would have been reasonably well-versed in relevant policies.--Huaiwei (talk) 11:25, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your coaching; I knew you were just being thoughtful. However I strongly recommend that you should read that 3RR policy by heart since you are the one who were blocked by someone many times before. What do you think? Coloane (talk) 11:36, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

I was blocked several times before after a two-year-long tussle with a single user, who has since been permanently banned from wikipedia. That user happens to originate from a locality which seems to be of keen interest to you. I hope this is merely a case of coincidence.--Huaiwei (talk) 12:12, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't know which guy you are talking about. I guess it is the user: Instantnood or someone. I can tell you that I am not the one you speculated, honestly speaking. Period!! I am a mixed-breed Portuguese-Chinese boy here, and also I am not interested in Hong Kong issue, although I know Hong Kong just like my hands. Coloane (talk) 12:20, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, Huaiwei was referring to banned user Instantnood, who kept POV-pushing and edit-warring on articles pertaining to Hong Kong and Singapore. He is not the only one who observed similarities between you and Instantnood. Despite being an excellent editor, Huaiwei has a very short fuse. If others leave him alone and stop baiting him, he will not get into edit wars. --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 13:00, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

I've warned both users to stop. Keeping an eye on this. --Michael Billington (talk) 10:37, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, Michael; it's appreciated. It's also instructive to examine Coloane's initial contributions as a new editor and to take into account his difficulties with English as a secondary language and using talk pages to discuss controversial edits before they are made rather than post facto. Alice^✉ 11:40, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your hypocritic comment here. As a Portuguese guy of myself, I don't care your comment trying to attack my ability in English indeed as I don't need to speak and write in my career. Keep it on your own and make sure you are not unemployed in 2008 even you are a native English speaker. Good Luck! Coloane (talk) 11:53, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

If you would examine my own contribution record, Coloane, you might be able to deduce that English is not my own mother tongue too. (You might also deduce something from my contributions to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Portuguese_cuisine&action=history , http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=History_of_Portugal_%281415-1542%29&action=history , http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kristang_language&action=history, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eurasians_in_Singapore&action=history , http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Community_of_Portuguese_Language_Countries&action=history , etc). My purpose was not to criticise your lack of facility with English, but rather to give an explanation for your poor record of interaction with your fellow editors. Please feel free to strike both this riposte and the original comment that prompted Coloane's response as irrelevant in this forum. Alice^✉ 12:20, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for at least acknowledging your linguistic handicap. While we do not discriminate against anyone for this, everyone would be far happier if all can at least have a good understanding of policies, as well as the factual contents under dispute before engaging in wikiwarring. If in doubt, there is always a talkpage, where misunderstandings would have been cleared up before hand, linguistic misinterpretations or otherwise.--Huaiwei (talk) 12:16, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Huaiwei, I don't think "handicap" was an appropriate word to use, unless it was meant to be a reference to Coloane's "semi-handicapped" comment. As a non-native speaker of English myself, I agree that linguistic difficulties are a common source of miscommunication. All of us should be careful to avoid such miscommunication and be willing to resolve misunderstandings on the talk page. --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 13:00, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Well I must admit I could not get that comment out of my head for now, so my apologies if I sound too crude. ;) English is not a "native language" for the vast majority of Singaporeans, so I think we can understand the problems faced by others in a similar situation. That said, I have low tolerance towards those who choose to be obstinate, refuse to use appropriate discussion avenues adequately, use abusive language, and then attempt to excuse themselves by claiming low proficiency in the language. A genuine user who finds his edits corrected would normally double check before his next action, especially if he is aware of his own language limitations. I hope this will become the norm in subsequent engagements with Coloane.--Huaiwei (talk) 13:59, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

• Kober is not a new user as he has been around for years. I was not able to warn him on time as his reverts were really quick.

This came from the heels of an RFC which I had thought had resolved a contentious issue, there were no responses to my last statement on the RFC so I had thought that we were all in agreement. I let the RFC run it's course until the template was removed by the bot. Kober had 1 month to respond to both my own statements and the neutral parties statements but he did not give an adequate response. Despite all of this, he simply hits the revert button once the RFC is completed. You may notice that one of his reverts say RV spam. Please do not be swayed by this as that blog is an expert blog and it is completely reasonable to add expert blogs to external links. Pocopocopocopoco (talk) 15:34, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

User:Zeraeph's 28 day block was for this same behavior on the same article Psychopathy, at least in part. Her answer to my article page post was in the same vein as before -- she is right, I am wrong and she does not have to discuss or compromise or come to consensus on changes. She is concentrating on my edits without consulting or trying to compromise or explain to me. She has moved and rearranged reference citations I put there, as well as misrepresented their meanings. Although she has rearranged and removed my citations and and changed or removed my wording, she will not discuss anything related to the content of the articlefwith me, other to state in edit summary that I was wrong, or other disparaging remarks about my edits in the edit summaries.

User keeps inserting unsourced information that is most demonstrably wrong - County & Borough NOT co-terminous "with consolidation" in 1898 - boundaries not the same until 1899 when Nassau County was formed. User keeps adding unsourced info that parts that voted against were not consolidated AND that parts of Nassau voted against. I have added 3 references to article indicating Flushing voted against but was still consolidated. Extensive search cannot find ANY source that says parts that became Nassau ever even took a ballot. User also adds unsourced claim that parts of a town of Hempstead were split at the same time. User is using user-talk pages to point out MY supposed inadequacies & why I should quit editing the article - not replying on article talk pages & not addressing issues raised there. User is unco-operative & appears to not even be reading discussion

• Diff of 3RR warning: 08:32, 27 December 2007

This user has been asked to stop edit warring and to stop removing sourced content. But he has insisted on removing sourced content and then violated the 3RR rule and continued edit warring even after he was warned. Padmanii (talk) 21:48, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Declined Violated 3RR, as did others, but the article has now been fully protected. Sandstein (talk) 22:12, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

• Necessary for newer users: A diff of 3RR warning issued before the last reported reversion.

Your report will be ignored if it is not placed properly. See User_talk:Bacteriophage for multiple warnings.

User:Bacteriophage is a persistent edit warrior across a range of global warming related articles. He comes along every day or two and makes more-or-less the same set of reverts. Usually he is careful not to technically violate 3RR but I think he miscounted this time. Raymond Arritt (talk) 21:40, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
