Welcome to the edit warring noticeboard | ||
---|---|---|
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
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.
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.

User:Brandmeister reported by User:LouisAragon (Result: Warned)
Page: Azerbaijan (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
User being reported: Brandmeister (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
Previous version reverted to: [diff preferred, link permitted]
Diffs of the user's reverts:
- Attempt #1 (Brandmeister had reached no consensus; reverted by User:Dandamayev)
- Attempt #2 (Brandmeister had reached no consensus; reverted by User:LouisAragon)
- Attempt #3 (Brandmeister had reached no consensus; reverted by User:LouisAragon)
- Attempt #4 (Brandmeister had reached no consensus; (note the feigned edit summary as well); reverted by User:LouisAragon)
- Attempt #5 (Brandmeister had reached no consensus; reverted by User:Rye-96)
- Attempt #6 (Brandmeister had reached no consensus; not yet reverted)
Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: [1]-[2]
Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: [3]
Comments:
"Brandmeister" made the first POV tweaks to the article on 13 February 2018 ("attempt #1"). He was reverted by User:Dandamayev on 14 February 2018.[4] As you can see on the talk page, "Brandmeister" didn't reach consensus, yet he just continued; on 16 February 2018 he made another series of POV tweaks/removals/changes; I then reverted him ("attempt #2").
You'd think he'd stop hitting that trigger and reach a consensus first, but no! He just continued to edit war ("attempt #3"). On 20 February 2018 he tried adjusting the section again; once again "Brandmeister" didn't reach any consensus on the talk page, and was thus reverted ("attempt #4"). You'd think that he'd stop by, but nope; on 26 February 2018, in spite of not having reached any sort of consensus with the 3-4 users he's edit warring against, "Brandmeister" just continued to tweak the section once more ("attempt #4").
He then posted another comment (i.e. proposal) on the talk page. Even though multiple users clearly expressed their dissatisfaction with the edits he has made so far, he continued his edit-war fest once more ("attempt #5"). This one was reverted by User:Rye-96. Two days later, having reached no consensus once again, he just decided to edit-war once more; bringing the number to a staggering six attempts [5].
"Brandmeister" is edit-warring against multiple people, ignoring any sort of consensus, ignoring every warning,[6] and hitting that trigger as soon as he can. He has been reverted on numerous occassions by various users. These same users have opposed his edits on the talk page; it can be clearly seen that no one ever agreed with any of his edits up to this day.[7] Yet he just continued each single time. Looking at the compelling evidence, its safe to say this is textbook tendentious editing by "Brandmeister". - LouisAragon (talk) 21:24, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
- I'm honestly baffled by this report. There has been an ongoing discussion on this where I put various proposals to resolve the WP:NPOV issue and avoid the edit war. Instead LouisAragon preferred to jump the gun without addressing my concerns at talk: here, for example, he reverts and only then replies to a two-day-old unanswered concern. Here is another revert, five days after my unaswered concern. Overall, the approach of the reverting users at that article has been unconstructive and uncompromising at best, where they preferred to revert instead of replying and achieving consensus at talk. On several occasions I WP:PINGed and waited for any reply, but the involved users chose to revert first and only then reply to unanswered concerns. And I think all of them were aware of the active discussion, as I cited talk concerns in nearly every edit summary, yet they chose to revert first. Now, when I've implemented another unanswered, two-day-old suggestion, LouisAragon reports me. I can't help but suspect the possible involvement of a tag team/meatpuppets (or socks) to override the talk discussion and game the system. Brandmeistertalk 22:29, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
- User:Brandmeister has been previously sanctioned under WP:ARBAA2, and they do appear to be edit warring at Aserbaidschan. I recommend closing this with a warning to Brandmeister that they may be blocked if they make any further reverts at Aserbaidschan that don't have prior consensus on the talk page. You should consider using the steps of WP:DR if necessary to reach agreement. In answer to Brandmeister's comment "five days after my unaswered concern.." you can't assume that the mere passage of time awards consensus. You need to have actual people saying 'I agree'. EdJohnston (talk) 20:57, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
- No, Ed, with due respect other editors who are aware of the discussion are supposed to join the talk page before reverting. Ignoring the concerns at talk and jumpinng to revert is not how it is supposed to work. Anyway, as a matter of fact, the issue appears to have been resolved, so this is moot by now. Brandmeistertalk 21:11, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
- I'd note that WP:AA2 is an area of sockpuppetry and several accounts with which I and some other users interacted in the past turned out to be socks. Particularly, in the 2016 case that I filed a total of 11 socks separated in two groups were discovered. Brandmeistertalk 00:55, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
- I left a note for User:LouisAragon, the filer of this report, to see if they agree the issue is resolved. EdJohnston (talk) 03:58, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
- Similar to the response I gave on my talk page; this is a classic example of someone who's been caught redhanded and now tries to "evade" any blame by saying that "everthing was already solved". Any uninvolved editor may check the talk page and then tell me that a consensus was reached. Pure bollocks. Some steps were made, but every single time I (and probably others) checked the page, I saw that BM had been unilaterally misinterpeting my words and those of the other TP participants in order to push his POV for the dozenth time into the article. Textbook example of a user who's trying to override any consensus forming by forcing others to kow-tow, by means of pure edit-warring. - LouisAragon (talk) 12:37, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
- Wow. When it comes to "override any consensus", for the record and closing admin I'll show who is overriding. This, this and this is a clear evidence of WP:MEATPUPPETing and WP:VOTESTACK (at the very least) summoning others. My suspicion above turned to be true. I will not wonder if there are socks as well. Brandmeistertalk 13:01, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
- I don't see anything that's even remotely connected to "votestacking". "Dandamayev" asked me about the topic after he reverted your unconstructive edits, and after he created the section on the talk page of the article. I only responded. He didn't ask me to edit/vote/join him in anything. I have this article on my watchlist for ages, and have edited the talk page on earlier occasions as well.
- @EdJohnston:, this is the third time that "Brandmeister" is throwing around meat/sockpuppet accusations in a case about his own editorial conduct. I don't want to waste any further words on his ridiculous claims, but I suggest he drops this nonsense, or forms a SPI. - LouisAragon (talk) 13:14, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

User:HistoryInAction's edits are also violating NPOV. Nixon Now (talk) 20:02, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
- Actually, Nixon has hypocritically violated the same 3 revert rule by repeatedly edit warring. This user has also not posted a single discussion on the talk page at all! This user is being extremely aggressive in trying to bully others from engaging in productive discussions.
- Nixon seems to think that blogs are reliable sources. Nixon has referenced a blog that is not even slightly related to this article in order to synthesize POV language into the article. In reality, the language that Nixon is against is found in both of the reliable sources in the article. I fail to see how an unrelated blog, that is not even on the same topic of this article, cam override all of the reliable sources.
- I consider this to be very bad faith editing. Nixon, please discuss your views on the talk page BEFORE engaging in this kind of bullying tactics.HistoryInAction (talk) 20:16, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

- Ah thanks NeilN, Not sure why this wasn't followed through the first time round, Anyway thanks for protecting it much appreciated, –Davey2010Talk 14:13, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

- Obviously he is gaming WP:3RR given his inactivity as an editor, and WP:IDHT on talk page[28] by not agreeing that he can't write his own interpretation of the translations. He is also misrepresenting sources, a small evidence of such misrepresentation is his edit[29] he is mentioning "Vedic society" while his source [30] makes no mention of even "Vedic".

Blocked – 48 hours for long term edit warring at Women in Hinduism. The user was previously blocked three days for abusing multiple accounts per Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Smatrah/Archive. This user has been reported more than once for adding original research to articles, though not always with a clear result. For example see a report at ANI in 2017.

- Editør insists on replacing a notability tag on Sutton Hoo Helmet (sculpture) after a AfD on the article was closed as keep. It is likely this is to prevent the article being a DYK, but it's disruptive regardless. Prince of Thieves (talk) 22:08, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
Technically, the fourth revert was outside 24 hours but Editør, it seems silly that you would earn your first ever block over this. --NeilN talk to me 22:16, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
- Editør has not made any further reverts so I think this is resolved. Prince of Thieves (talk) 09:12, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
- Apart from blanking the archive, that is...! Curious. ...SerialNumber54129...speculates 10:05, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
- Yes that is odd. It looks like he was maybe trying to unarchive something he wrote on the talk page. Prince of Thieves (talk) 10:52, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure the 3RR wasn't broken, although it was close, so this is moot. In hindsight the merge template should have gone on the article, that is how the AfD was closed and then discussion on the talk page. Unless Editor wants to return to the merge discussion it won't go anywhere because there are no other involved users. Szzuk (talk) 11:20, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

TIMELINE:
Note that every other participant except L.R. Wormwood made one or two reverts total.
18:12, 26 January 2018: Here is the discussion on the talk page that led to my original edit: [36]
The discussion was open for 17 days with no objections to my proposed edit.
18:10, 26 January 2018: Here is my original edit: [37]
This version was stable for 30 days until it was reverted by L.R. Wormwood on 25 February.
12:31, 25 February 2018: L.R. Wormwood's first revert. [38]
Despite the "see talk" in the edit summary, L.R. Wormwood gave the other editors on the page exactly one minute tomdiscuss his proposed change between his comment and his revert:[39][40][41]
01:49, 28 February 2018: L.R. Wormwood stopped discussing and started insulting: [42]
09:08, 28 February 2018: I stopped interacting with L.R. Wormwood because of the insults.[43]
21:03, 3 March 2018: Because discussion had become impossible, I reverted to the stable, status quo version.[44]
11:16, 28 February 2018: L.R. Wormwood reverts me.[45]
12:17, 28 February 2018User:Chaheel Riens Reverts L.R. Wormwood.[46]
13:35, 3 March 2018: L.R. Wormwood reverts Chaheel Riens. [47]
14:29, 3 March 2018: User:Nomoskedasticity reverts L.R. Wormwood.[48]

Comments:
No violation No WP:3RR violation and I highly doubt L.R. Wormwood is going to revert again given the ANI thread and Drmies putting their foot down. NeilN talk to me 07:39, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
- User:NeilN: User:Guy Macon also neglects to mention that he has reverted nearly as many times in the same period.
- User:Davey2010 and I also stopped reverting after the closure decision.
- This looks like another excuse to fork accusations that I have used "insults". You may determine for yourselves whether this comment contains any "insults" (regrettably rude, but does not contain insults). Note that I have even apologised for this comment. User:Guy Macon should WP:MOVEON and stop pursuing this personal vendetta against me. L.R. Wormwood (talk) 12:01, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
- The moment Drmies reverted I immediately stepped away from the article ..... When Drmies reverts you you know you've f'ed up!. ––Davey2010Talk 13:06, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
- Bad count by L.R. Wormwood above. One of those was not a revert, but rather an new edit with substantially different content that I made in an attempt to find a compromise that was acceptable to L.R. Wormwood. I stand by my claim that everyone else, including me and Davey2010, stopped at the first or second revert. I agree with NeilN's assessment and decision above. --Guy Macon (talk) 13:48, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
- It was a revert (or partial revert), in the same way this was a revert, even though it also included substantially different content as a means of compromise. We actually had a compromise (by way of this version), until you arbitrarily chose to revert to your original version of the previous month here, over the objections of two users, for reasons you weren't able to clearly articulate in the edit summary or on the talk page. It appears to have been in objection to this comment. You later admitted here that you were initially "strongly inclined to support something close to [my] version over the version [you yourself] had written", but apparently changed your mind due to this "insulting" comment. This would suggest that this content dispute was initiated for personal reasons. Just WP:LETITGO. L.R. Wormwood (talk) 14:06, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
- I wasn't going to revert further having been told in very explicit terms that I couldn't close the RfC, or terminate it early. I've already apologised for being rude to you. Given how much time this has cost me personally, you can be sure that next time I feel like writing something even mildly rude on a talk page, I'll take a walk. With this, can you please stop attacking me on the talk page/edit summaries now, and refrain from making any further spurious reports. L.R. Wormwood (talk) 14:24, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

We have an editor copy and pasting copyrighted material after the link they wish to add was removed several times from 2 articles...see also Aroostook Band of Micmac.
