Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring

Welcome to the edit warring noticeboard
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. 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.

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. There are only three reverts, as diff #3 above is the edit reverted to and not a revert itself. And it does seem like consensus at the talk page was in favor of deferring this discussion to January.

Comments:

Not a violation of 3RR but the user has been engaging in a very long, drawn out edit war and is determined add the phrase "the Great" into the article lead without getting a consensus for it. Currently, the consensus is against the inclusion of such a title in the lead, as another editor has also objected to its inclusion in the talk page discussion. PadFoot (talk)

Blocked – for a period of one week from article. It may have been a two-to-one consensus, but consensus there was, against using the title in the lede. Deccan is free to continue discussing this; perhaps it would benefit to bring more editors into the discussion and strengthen consensus, if that is possible. Daniel Case (talk) 21:48, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

The other editor joined in as an ambivalent commentator. The title was sourced thrice and removed on false grounds of being a recent addition [18] which is proven false. It was not added by me but was present since 2022. You can view the original addition here: [19]. It has been vetted and kept unchallenged by all subsequent editors and admins overseeing developments of the article. It is @PadFoot2008 who initiated the reversions on false grounds [20]and not me. Please review your decision. There are no grounds to initiate consensus debates either, except disruption of the article building.

I recently showed the consensus debates initiated by @SKAG123 and @PadFoot2008 to turn Maratha Empire page into Maratha Confederacy and subsequently remove all traces of Maratha Empire from Wikipedia, also involved sham sockpuppets (3 out of 6 operated by a single vandal 1.[21], 2.[22], 3.[23], propped against 5). More editors experienced in Indian history should be brought into the discussion, though there is absolutely no ground for a such a non-controversial aspect, which I must remind everyone, is sourced.

Comments:
Both Sun45Raj and Sush150 have been edit warring over the inclusion of a movie on this list for the last four days, resulting in far more than four reverts for both but only Sun45Raj has >4 edits in a 24 hour block of time recently, which feels a bit like a technicality here. I tried getting them to talk about it on the talk page because this is a topic I frankly know nothing about, but the edit warring has continued. Warrenᚋᚐᚊᚔ 18:51, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
