Update this page

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.

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.

Twinkle's ARV can be used on the user's page to more easily report their behavior, including automatic handling of diffs.

Editor is in a slow edit war. The editor was warned last month not to make the change again without finding consensus. Nemov (talk) 03:05, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: Per WP:3RR: "Violations of this rule often attract blocks of at least 24 hours. Correct me if I'm wrong here: Being involved in a "slow edit war" doesn't qualify to be reported here, not even in a gap of one month. Hacked (Talk|Contribs) 03:13, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked – for a period of 24 hours Yes it can. WP:EW is very clear that users do not have to violate 3RR or 1RR to be edit warring. In this case these edits have been all the edits to the article for the last month or so. It has been noted as well that this user has been editing for a while but has ignored multiple requests to discuss these edits. The user's talk page shows a long history of warnings and CTOPS alerts that suggests this has been a long time coming. Daniel Case (talk) 04:12, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I understand now. Thank you for correcting me here. Hacked (Talk|Contribs) 04:14, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Case Am I okay rolling that article back to the status quo? Thanks! Nemov (talk) 13:46, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Daniel Case (talk) 15:21, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I'm not sure you are. US State Flag is a good short description; Flag of SC practically duplicates the article title. See WP:SDEXAMPLES, where Mississippi is formatted this way. (Agreed on the edit warring block, though) --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 15:28, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not a party to any of the content disputes involved, I'm just trying to slow the editor down and get them to reach consensus with others. To no avail. Tercer (talk) 20:46, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I do think it's worth noting the user's response to receiving a warning for WP:EW is to get quite upset about the idea of being in a war zone--I actually considered WP:ANI for this: [47]. Sesquilinear (talk) 22:42, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
