    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.

    Same IP and the related 202.47.32.60 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) are edit warring on numerous Lancia pages, also at Lancia Flaminia. Not here to work in a collaborative manner.  Mr.choppers | ✎  12:46, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined You have not warned them in any way that I can see that they are edit warring. No wonder they keep doing it. Daniel Case (talk) 03:33, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry, I thought that Template:Uw-ew was to inform of a noticeboard. YBSOne (talk) 10:08, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Daniel Case: please see the case again, this time with numerous personal attacks and violent outbursts. YBSOne (talk) 11:38, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I did take note of them this time but ... since this morning (my time, at least), they have stopped editing the article and have made edits to others that have not been reverted yet. Maybe they are taking the hint. Daniel Case (talk) 21:43, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'll keep you posted then. YBSOne (talk) 05:34, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    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. Daniel Case (talk) 18:04, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User Ontheloop has engaged in edit warring by repeatedly reverting my contributions to the article Bhatti without justification. This behavior violates the three-revert rule and disrupts the collaborative editing process. I believe this warrants administrator attention.

    At one point the user deleted the whole article, though I've not mentioned it above as it's not reverting the same edit but is more of a WP:CIR issue.
