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.

Repeated attempts to remove sourced allegations regarding public figure. Notified user of policy on talkpage. VolatileAnomaly (talk) 04:20, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

VolatileAnomaly, please have a look at WP:BLPRESTORE and seek a consensus on the talk page before restoring the disputed content. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:56, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

WP:BLPN is also a good option in cases like this as they will often provide more nuanced feedback and consensus than simply "all this content should stay" vs "all this content should be removed". At first glance this does look like whitewashing of notable and sourced content, but it does need better review before restoring wholesale.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:02, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you ToBeFree and Ponyo for the feedback. I happened upon those edits while doing recent changes patrol and will be more cautious in the future before restoring disputed content. VolatileAnomaly (talk) 03:03, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

At first Superb Owl has removed point from chinese goverment, the news was reported by TDM (Macau), The Paper (newspaper) and Xinhua News Agency, with the reason "these media are state media or not have editorial independence from CCP on political topics", "Chinese goverment's accuse about Transnational repression is not relative to 'Transnational repression'" while he/she/Mx has quoted "News media: State-associated or state-controlled news organisations,…". Later the written about Assange from the resource "Gibbons, Chip - Jacobin" was deleted with the reason "not non-primary source" and "WP:DUE". At last the resolution from the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe from the resource RFI was exclused with the reason WP:DUE. In short, none accusation on US can appear under his/her//Mx's watch.MINQI (talk) 22:05, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

MINQI, as already pointed out on the talk page, the onus to obtain a consensus for inclusion is on you, not the others. Thanks for self-reverting; please keep it removed unless/until an RFC on the article's talk page is closed with consensus for adding the section. A third opinion is not an option anymore as there are already more than two opinions in the discussion. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:15, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Comments:

Aihotz is persistently removing sourced content without a valid reason. They're insisting on using unsourced WP:OR figures they've introduced while claiming that "we cannot know how many are killed and how many are wounded", despite the fact that the body of the article clearly supports the content they're removing. Skitash (talk) 23:51, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Aihotz and Skitash, you're both clearly interested in discussing the matter; it's just unclear why that has to happen in edit summaries rather than on the talk page. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 03:32, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
