    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.

    I know I’ve been seeing this for a good while, so I peeked at the page histories. I noticed this editing pattern on Mark Teixeira and Todd Helton going back to June 2020. There are a few other entries involved. Uses the article name or the entire opening sentence as an edit summary. Appears to despise the word former. Sometimes removes the blue links from the lead. Responsible for pretty much the whole protection log on Helton. No sign of a desire for collaboration. Larry Hockett (Talk) 04:32, 24 June 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. The first edit was not a revert. The other ones are. Thus, the editor is at the limit but has not edited since. If they do this call can and should be reconsidered.

    IP editor is edit warring to insert POV and has now started edit warrign on user Archives908's talk page to attack them [1] [2] [3] [4]. The IP was previously using 46.221.206.150. – notwally (talk) 08:58, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]


    The users keep removing useful infobox and content inserted with reliable sources like in other language versions of mentioned page. They started an edit war but they try to ban an IP user, me, as I object their political propaganda and keep inserting facts instead of bets. There’s also a topic on the mentioned page’s Talk Page but those users are far from giving the truth.
    p.s. Armenian prime minister Nikol Pashinyan also admitted that Armenian Genocide was a lie and Soviet propaganda. However they still behave with childish ambitions. 176.216.18.135 (talk) 09:06, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    It’s not proven, so you can’t treat this that way. See also Perinçek v. Switzerland.

    How many people you are trying to silence me? It’s very bad and immature of you to avoid real conversations. Only shadowing and hiding the facts with childish behaviours.

    @D.S. Lioness: If this isn't about edit warring, but a behavioral issue, it is best reported at WP:ANI. However, because the editor has responded on Talk:Afroditi Latinopoulou, reporting at ANI is likely non-actionable. It doesn't seem actionable here, either. ~Anachronist (talk) 20:00, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    You are not banned. I see no administrative block record or Arbcom decision about that, unless it was under a different username that you haven't disclosed.
    I advise you to read WP:BRD. If you are reverted, seek consensus for your change on the article's talk page. As far as I can tell, both of you have made edits that would be considered disruptive. ~Anachronist (talk) 20:15, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
