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 You can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.
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.

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.

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.

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:
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)

The editor has also been filed for a sock puppet report here:
However, the edit warring seems to be continuing unabated, hence why I have also reported the user here. The user did 4 reverts on the 17 April 2024, and potentially much more if the sock puppet report comes back positive. Metta79 ( talk) 12:40, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Comments:
Multiple editors have engaged in edit warring across SpaceX Starship-related articles, but Redacted II has performed a large number of reverts with little attempt to engage in discussion or
after a discussion was started. While a slow edit war and not a strict violation of 3RR, this editor is
violating the spirit of the rule. Redacted II was
warned of this type of violation and
ownership-asserting behavior by
ToBeFree after their last block. After multiple warnings for edit warring, they are well informed of the rules.
This report is for the SpaceX Starship article, but I provided diffs of two additional articles and the mention of the edit war at SpaceX Starship flight tests to provide the additional context that this editor has and continues to engage in edit warring across the SpaceX Starship topic. A temporary topic ban may be warranted. Redraiderengineer ( talk) 23:36, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
