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.

• Both users are edit-warring; neither has violated 3RR.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:04, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

• Additionally, the two users are the only editors who have edited the article in the last few weeks in a continuous edit war, and neither has discussed the dispute on the article Talk page. I have therefore pblocked both editors for two weeks from editing the article.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:11, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

  Can we discuss it here? User Wk3v78k23tnsa sort of masquerades as an auto-message generator or WP admin (using terms above like "advised user" etc), and cites general WP pages without specifics and therefore pretty much uselessly. I believe I have a fairly good case against Wk3v78k23tnsa's bold edits. (A point against their edits, not a justification of an edit war, which I cop to.) Chafe66 (talk) 06:58, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

• No violation – there must be four or more reverts within a 24 hour period for the 3-Revert Rule to apply; the links you have provided do not meet these criteria. Really, this board is for clear 4 reverts in 24 hours or it is very obvious they are gaming the system, not for discussions or deeper analysis. Protracted problems should go to ANI.

No-Falcon-4996 was blocked by ScottishFinnishRadish for vandalism. Immediately thereafter, a similarly-named editor Pixel-Lead453 appeared and started pushing similar edits. There are plenty of reasons for a block: vandalism, block-evasion, etc. But edit-warring (violation of the 3RR rule) will do. Note that the article has recently been at WP:BLPN, and gotten attention from seasoned editors there, so BLP issues are unlikely to apply. (I now see that I am in technical violation of WP:3RR myself, having once reverted the earlier account, but I believe that it falls under the vandalism exception, particularly as the earlier account was just blocked for vandalism.)

• Repeated attempts to insert FOIA documents / primary material as a source. Zenomonoz (talk) 04:55, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Public records are reliable sources. Or are you implying that public records contain lies and are not reliable for some reason? Freedom of Information allows us to witness true information from the Government. I suspect this user is engaged in advocacy and whitewashing. His "cabal approved" self-label is telling. Possible breaking of WP:NOTADVOCACY merits an investigation of its own.FeldmarschallGneisenau (talk) 01:27, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Dear @NicolausPrime, if there was evidence, it wouldn't be closed. Someone tried to frame me as someone else and failed. Idk why you would brag about failure. Despicable well-poisoning.FeldmarschallGneisenau (talk) 01:32, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Blocked – for a period of 72 hours from the article. I have done this because, while edit warring occurred and no other editor would be liable since they were in good faith upholding the BLP exemption under WP:3RRNO, the idea that primary sources ≠ reliable sources is belied by many of our own policies. To wit, under WP:PRIMARY: "A primary source may be used on Wikipedia only to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge." This seems compatible with using government documents (which again, are not always primary sources) to support the subject's birth date and place as that can easily be verified by looking at those documents. I would also commend Zenomonoz's attention to WP:PRIMARYNOTBAD: "'Primary' is not, and should not be, a bit of jargon used by Wikipedians to mean 'bad' or 'unreliable' or 'unusable'."

I do think there's a case to be made—and it should be made on the talk page, or through discussion at RS/N—that these documents might be acceptable sources here. Daniel Case (talk) 01:52, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Fine. Point taken. Thanks for showing that primary sources can be used in straightforward matters of fact. However just to note, I have not witnessed Zenomonoz's attention to WP:PRIMARYNOTBAD, the opposite in fact.FeldmarschallGneisenau (talk) 02:16, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

I believe WP:PRIMARYNOTBAD here is overridden by WP:BLPPRIMARY, which states "Do not use trial transcripts and other court records, or other public documents, to support assertions about a living person." (bolding mine). NicolausPrime (talk) 02:29, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

@Daniel Case re: primary source. This wasn't a govt document confirming his birth name. It is a request to the DNI submitted by the journalist Julia Black (see requester column on right). Black is the one alleging this is his birth name, presumably from an old unsourced version of his Wikipedia entry. Black makes no mention of this alleged birth name in her eventual reporting. In summary: no government agency has actually confirmed this is birth name. Zenomonoz (talk) 02:41, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Well, OK, that's different; I wish I had read somebody saying that in edit summaries ... or on the talk page. Daniel Case (talk) 02:54, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

  No violation – there must be four or more reverts within a 24 hour period for the 3-Revert Rule to apply; the links you have provided do not meet these criteria. I think that at this point the best thing to do would be full-protect the article for a while, but I'm not willing to do that without someone requesting it (also, it's necessary to set a watchlist ping when doing so as we cannot currently layer protections, so the existing indef semi will have to be reset when the full protect expires). Daniel Case (talk) 02:06, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

  @Daniel Case Requested full protection. Someonewhoisusinginternet (talk) 04:12, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

  Page protected in full for three days; I have set up a watchlist ping in order to restore the previous indef semi.

  In the future if this continues I might be partial to giving the article a CTOPS tag under ARBIPA; while it does not seem like the edit warring here is related to the issues specific to the topic that often trigger long protection under it (and as I've said elsewhere, most of the edit warring we have over Indian TV and cinema is over the same aspects of those areas as cinema and TV elsewhere in the world, so why should that trigger CTOPS by itself for Bollywood when it doesn't for Hollywood?), we have used it in some cases where the disruption has gotten to be too much, and CTOPS would make available possible (emphasis possible) future remedies like 1RR if this keeps being a problem.

Editor was warned for edit warring to restore POV/original research content on the BLP in question. They have been repeatedly warned about falsely accusing other editors of vandalism, an action they have repeated despite these warnings. Further, they engaged in now-oversighted harassment on their talk page. Their only engagement in the article talk page discussion has been to reiterate their accusations of vandalism; after making this accusation, they again restored the content without any consensus to do so.

  @ToBeFree: regarding the indefinite semi-protection to Mike Johnson (Louisiana politician), I can ping you just in case you miss restoring it. ~ Pbritti (talk) 23:13, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

  Pbritti, a talk page message would be wonderful. I've set up a calendar entry but who knows if I'll still use the same calendar program in a year. Thank you very much! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:29, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

A SPI has been initiated at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/CHARLIE INGRAM, but the user is consistently removing well-sourced content from a BLP which fails under WP:CT/IPA, leading to an edit war. Blocking the user is necessary to prevent further disruption. —Saqib (talk | contribs) 07:39, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

@ToBeFree: Would it be OK to reinstate the sourced material? --—Saqib (talk | contribs) 17:02, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Saqib, thanks for asking. I personally wouldn't do so before a talk page discussion (attempt) exists due to WP:BLPRESTORE, but if I had intended to enforce this strictly and technically, I'd have chosen full protection. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:56, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

I see your point, but the user probably won't participate in the discussion on the talk page. Plus, there's the issue of it being a sock account. --—Saqib (talk | contribs) 19:07, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

IP in Australia is contstantly changing a mass of film pages with their own version of "effects". They have been prevously blocked on 101.180.97.95 and changed from 1.145.121.196. They have not responded to any editors comments and warnings and appear to change from IP numbers to change back to their preferred version. David J Johnson (talk) 10:37, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Comments:
In the past two weeks, a Canada-based IP has reverted on five occasions the streamlining I've made to the article's lead section. As I've noted at the talk page, their revision is poorly written overall:

• "He" this and "He" that for every sentence;
• "He is also the former" is nonsensical, as there have been previous undisputed bantamweight champions;
• It is bereft of paragraphs for readability, yet has an inexplicable double line break after the first huge chunk of text;
• Inoue's athletic intangibles and knockout successes are listed in a highly crufty manner before his numerous – and historically notable – championship achievements;
• His nickname is unnecessarily in bold and incorrectly places the quotes in bold too;
• The sanctioning organisations (WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO) should all be fully written on the first instance, per MOS:ABBR;
• My use of efn to consolidate the myriad titles Inoue has held is much better than listing each one in separate, clunky year ranges.

I would extend a talk page invitation but they change IPs like a new pair of socks, and they should know about talk pages by now (first time they edited the article was in July 2023). 3RR has not been tripped, but it's a slow edit war nonetheless. DRN is not really an option because of how one-sided it is.

To summarise, my edition of the lead improves readability, is concise, and adheres to various MOS. The IP's edition is an unwieldy, poorly written block of text filled with cruft. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 18:23, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Mac Dreamstate, thank you very much for your discussion attempts at Talk:Naoya Inoue. The unregistered editor would be welcome to join the discussion, perhaps preferably with an account so that their user talk page is usable too. If page protection turns out to be insufficient at achieving this, please let me know. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:12, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
