Comment:Now what should I say, this reckless person has crossed all limits for three revert rule and spamming on user talk with thrustful comments , and he keeps bothering me repeatedly with the same fabricated nonsense. He keeps giving those mocking statements against me for commissioning an report and is persistently stuck on the same matter over and over again. I want him to be punished for his vile actions, and for the offensive things he has said in his statements, which had a bad influence on people. He is going to everyone’s talk pages

- I suspect a WP:BOOMERANG is coming here, but for now I'll say to OP, don't make personal attacks as you did here. Bafflingly, you linked to the NPA policy in the same edit summary. — Czello (music) 11:11, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

- I had said this before as well—you are the same people @Czello@DoctorWhoFan91 who want to manipulate the article in your own way and keep editing it to portray it in the same context of that past misunderstanding and conflict. So, I have nothing for you. You just keep putting in your efforts, but the consequences of your violative actions will come to you eventually. I have no answers for that, but when you are found guilty, you will have to deal with them on your own.

Hi, I'm just an uninvolved third-party editor who came across this 3RR violation involving the change of "Parmar Rajputs" to "Jats" in the article lead sentence. The editor themself has made a post on the talk page as seen in the diff above, but they continued to edit-war without getting a consensus first at that talk page discussion. Also worth noting the editor had received a prior 7-day block in Sep 2024 for similar disruption, such as this, where they also made an edit changing something to "Jats". — AP 499D25 (talk) 09:02, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Comments:
The article in question presents one-sided information, and that too sometimes using unsourced and questionable sources. The language Urdu is part of the Pakistani identity, and this article does not engage with the perspectives of Pakistanis who argue that the language Urdu has its own identity, distinct from Hindi. It's culturally insensitive to dismiss the cultural identity of another community and dismiss their perspecitives entirely to push one-sided claims that only serve to undermine their identity.

Diff of ANEW notice posted to user's talk page: [11]
Comments:
This page on a WW2-era anti-tank weapon has been edited today because the gun has been seen on video in active service of the Russian Armed Forces. Note that this is a caliber which has seemingly not had munitions produced for it since the 50s, so a return to service is not something that could just happen at any time. This is clearly noteworthy, but the user in question is repeatedly reverting any discussion of it. No attempt has been made by the user to justify this on the talk page. Additionally, the user marked his third reversion as a minor edit - perhaps in an attempt to avoid automated flagging or scrutiny? Once challenged (by me, after his third revert) he again reverted, marking his fourth, and bizarrely claimed WP:OR applied because the original editor viewed a video which was publicly released by a media channel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. I think that a 20-year user with 45,000 edits knows that this claim is ridiculous.
A review of his talk page and edit history finds lengthy and frequent issues taken with his editing, which is almost entirely composed of reverts - some of which seem opinionated and overly editorialized (example: [12]). Looking further back, this user has had repeated formal and informal warnings for edit warring, following users to revert their edits, etc. Just-a-can-of-beans (talk) 17:18, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

- Wamalotpark is edit warring with multiple editors across multiple articles, and are making the same edits while logged out.-- Ponyobons mots 00:13, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
- The charge is obviously correct. User:Wamalotpark, I reverted you because no advantage should go to the edit warrior. If you revert again you will be blocked. The logged-out editing is another matter, a more serious matter, and as it happens I can see just how much of it you have been doing. You should stop doing that esp. if, as you did here, you seem to be doing it to avoid scrutiny, because it's abusive and you are going to get blocked for it. Drmies (talk) 00:19, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
- More recent example @Drmies: In Wamalotpark's recent edit at Mariano Rivera (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), reverting to restore their preferred version and putting the onus on the other editor to start a discussion, in an edit summary no less, is continued edit warring.—Bagumba (talk) 04:31, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
- I only reverted one time. No intention to edit war. Wamalotpark (talk) 04:34, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
- Many follow Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. You had made a bold edit. It was reverted, showing disagreement. The ideal response is to start a discussion. Piling on with a revert when others are reverting too only stokes the fire. —Bagumba (talk) 04:40, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
- I only reverted one time. No intention to edit war. Wamalotpark (talk) 04:34, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
User:Wamalotpark, edit warring is an attitude, a mode of behavior, and these edits exemplify that. This is also why I have no problem blocking you right now for your baseball edits in a report that started with about edits over names--admins on this board are free to investigate whether reported editors are guilty of edit warring in general. So thank you, Bagumba, for adding this; I had hoped it wouldn't be necessary. Wamalotpark, you may say it wasn't your "intention" to edit war, but your edits resulted in one, and it is not possible for you not to have seen that. Drmies (talk) 17:25, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
- Ponyo, Bagumba, apparently it has started all over again and your opinion is appreciated. Bagumba, do you have any knowledge of or insight into their edit summary, "Per WikiProject:Baseball Talk and Wikipedia:WikiProject Baseball/Player style advice/Sample biography, linking the more descriptive article for MLB articles"?

I can agree that it is the more useful link and we can change our silent consensus" Wamalotpark (talk) 21:54, 29 January 2025 (UTC)
- And I made an effort to start a discussion based on the edit war that happened at United States Board on Geographic Names. Wamalotpark (talk) 21:55, 29 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Drmies: It does seem like the emerging consensus there (unless one wanted to argue to give it a few more days). @Wamalotpark: It can help to link to the specific discussion in edit summaries. Regards. —Bagumba (talk) 00:24, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

This SPA got WP:EW-blocked for repeatedly removing maintenance tags from the article [45]. Immediately after the block expired, they came back to edit war over the same issue [46]. This user clearly WP:DONTGETIT.
Blocked – for a period of two weeks I might have let this go as I am not sure the article will be kept (the keep !votes are in the majority, yes, but closer examination shows they are mostly from SPAs created recently that cite non-policy reasons for their !votes.

The persistent disruptive edits while refusing to provide the sources and engage discussing at the article's talk page.

Shortly after Lnydcs[81] was permanently blocked from persistently adding the unsourced disruptive edits and edit warring while refusing to engage in the talk, the new IP user 2A00:20:7:6ADE:2158:8D15:DBCD:A40E[82], likely Lnydcs's block evasion IP, is continuing the edit warring with the similar contentious and disruptive edits, violating WP:PROXYING. I think the page may need the protection given that the user is potentially keep changing the IP to evade the block and continue the edit warring.

The user has displayed continuously irrational and unscientific behavior through edits, by using sources with no scientific basis or consensus. Having gone through the users post history, I have found that this has not been only an issue I noticed, but it is a pattern that has been pointed out to the user by several other people over the years.
No violation. The 4 reverts listed above are incorrect as some of the edits are consecutive. Santasa99 has made two reverts, one on January 31 and one on January 28. Bbb23 (talk) 00:54, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

SPA. Slow edit warring over ancestry. They were also warned about WP:RUSUKR but they do not seem to have paid attention to this. Mellk (talk) 12:55, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

- Hello. I think this is not the first vexatious attack on me. I have consistently sought dialogue on the subject, following Wikipedia's policies. I have received a rather perplexing barrage of attacks which I don't think are merited. I am proposing well-sourced changes and no-one has expressed any coherent opposition to the content as far as I'm aware. People seem to want to avoid this content regardless of its veracity and relevance. A careful reading of Wikipedia:RUSUKR leads me to believe that it does not apply in this case, only a casual reading of the policy would support that conclusion. If this policy were to apply, then almost any subject however tangentially related would be subject to it. The behaviour of others is not in the spirit or, I fear, the rules of Wikipedia and are frequently discourteous.

Attempted good faith conversations on talk page, a new user posting in contentious areas, with borderline WP:ARBPIA implications. Primarily trying to introduce unsourced lineage of people, which cannot be verified in reliable sources. Continued posting implicates WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT and talk page replies convey WP:BIT. I reverted their content three four times, and they've re-added it four five times total, multiple edits after engaging on talk page discussions, which shows that they've decided that the rules do not apply to them. Updated to 5th time re-adding the content after being reverted four times. Now a bright line violation. TiggerJay (talk) 07:32, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Tiggerjay: It's not a bright-line violation as the 4 reverts did not occur in a 24-hour period. Nonetheless, I would have blocked the user it if it weren't for the fact that you too have been edit-warring.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:11, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Bbb23 - the only thing I've been doing is reverting their unsourced additions which appear to be vandalism and/or POVPUSH back to the most stable version of the article[118] [119] [120] [121]. With regards to other pages, with the exception of a single errant partial revert, all other pages have also been reverted to their stable versions. Last time I checked that was not a criteria of edit warring on my part. However I will agree that it looks like their most recent (4th revert) occurred within 31 hours, so I would agree with perhaps not bright-line. TiggerJay (talk) 16:30, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
- Your edits are not exempt under WP:3RRNO; your interpretation of what constitutes vandalism is incorrect.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:32, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Unregistered IPs, possibly the same user, have been continuously undoing edits without proper justification or disregards suggestions to start a talk page discussion. Two of the four unregistered IPs had been warned for undoing the infobox image, which had no issues before and follows precedent for some deceased celebrities in terms of using black and white images. Would it be possible to block these IP users or at the very least protect the page? Thank you. TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 23:49, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

User is doing essentially the same conduct on both the Kevin Roberts and Project 2025 pages. Warring with multiple editors across the pages. Most of the explanations were done on the P2025 talk page, but the diff links/3RR violations I used were on the Roberts page, I can add the Project 2025 ones as well if need be. Reverted them twice on both pages, but am stopping now to prevent edit warring/3RR. Also, just being generally uncivil on the talk pages. Just10A (talk) 18:38, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
- Regarding Kevin Roberts page: A single sentence was added in the lead paragraph of the Kevin Roberts page. I find this information to be crucial, relevant, and significant, especially considering the real-time changes occurring rapidly in the United States. I provided citations. User reverted it without cause, without modification of text, and threatened me with a block.
- Regarding Project 2025 page: I initially added in the lead paragraph that it is currently being implemented by President Trump. Another user reverted it and recommended that I add citations. I added citations, prominent ones such as from MSNBC, Politico, and USA Today. Another user reverted and recommended that I address this in the Talk page. Several users complimented my work and said I should work on adding the information first to the Implementation section before adding that sentence in the lead paragraph. User @Just10A became hostile and reverted my edits without reason. He has made zero attempts to "refine" my sentences as he recommended, and is instead deleting them without cause. I am a new user but I feel that I'm being bullied. Summerfell1978 (talk) 18:44, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
- I'm sorry if you feel bullied, that was never my intention. I merely asked you to draft and discuss on the talk page so that we could refine it instead of just forcing it in the main article,[137] but you refused. I don't want to comment anymore to muddy the waters, I'll let the admin sort this out. Just10A (talk) 18:49, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

- @Just10A is being disingenuous. These are not sincere or honest remarks.
- Regarding Kevin Roberts: I started a discussion on the Talk page and another user opined, and they took my idea into consideration and they edited the paragraph to make all parties happy.
- Regarding Curtis Yarvin: Lead-bombing is not true. I added new citations, something I hadn't done before. I also began a talk discussion to which no one has responded to, so I'll wait. Summerfell1978 (talk) 15:44, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Comments:
Few days ago, I edited the law of cosines' article, my edits were reverted by Jacobolus. I tried to find a compromise with that editor, but each time I edited the article, trying to take their comments into account, they reverted me. First, they said that the explanations were not correct, then I made an edit, taking into account much of what Jacobolus said, but they reverted me again. Then, they criticized the quality of the source, but when I added more sources, they reverted me again. Then I took the sources at WP:RSN, where they were dubbed reliable and a proposal from a third party was made, however, when I edited the article accordingly, Jacobolus reverted me again. It seems quite clear that this editor will not stop reverting my edit to that article, no matter if they are sourced, no matter if a third party opinion has been given. Also, as anybody can see at Talk:Law of cosines, Jacobolus constantly makes their own analyses of the works of al-Kashi or al-Tusi, blatantly ignoring what the sources say. Also, I'm a bit surprised to see XOR'easter intervening on the talk page, with a small and quite vague comment, while they had never edited that article before (WP:MEATPUPPETRY ?) ...---Wikaviani (talk) (contribs) 16:55, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

- Wikaviani: Please try to resolve content disputes on the discussion page instead of repeatedly edit warring in the article text to force in material that other editors are opposed to. My position was, and continues to be, that the article as it stands clearly describes al-Kashi's work and its relation to prior work; indeed I would say Wikipedia's text does a better and more complete job of this than other sources I have seen. (Unfortunately the article does a poor job describing later work, though that is not relevant to this dispute.) We don't need to add vague or inaccurate non-factual sentences further promoting that work, especially not if they are based on off-hand mentions in tangentially-related sources. Your goals here seem to me to be largely political/ideological rather than factual/historical, and your discussion style is frustrating because you don't engage with comments you disagree with, but just ignore them and move back to your same (still insufficiently substantiated) point every time. If you can just straight-forwardly explain what you are trying to do and why, it might help people to either more easily reject it or to figure out how to compromise with you.
- Also: You think XOR'easter is a "meatpuppet"? Seriously? If you want we could try to get some more involvement from other editors at WT:WPM or a similar place. –jacobolus (t) 17:18, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- How exactly my goals could be politica/ideological ? You say al-Tusi, I say al-Kashi, they are both Iranian scientists. are you serious ?---Wikaviani (talk) (contribs) 17:23, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- Have you two considered WP:DRN? Simonm223 (talk) 17:25, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

- No, I say "Scholar A directly did X, here is a quotation of their text. Scholar B directly did Y, here is a quotation of their text, here is how it relates to X, here is how you would write it in modern notation, and here is a picture." This lets readers compare and draw their own conclusions.
- You say "Scholar B was the first person to do «named statement» in a modern way.[footnote with a link to a half-sentence of fluff with no concrete detail in a big pop math book.]" This doesn't really tell readers anything except the unsubstantiated opinion of the author of the pop math book, and is confusing and potentially misleading to readers because it involves undefined and ambiguous language whose meaning would be interpreted differently by different readers, and some inferences reasonable readers are likely to draw from this statement are incorrect: what the scholar actually did is not identical to «named statement» as presented commonly today, and is part of a historical process of changing priorities and presentations that doesn't have clear boundary lines, so that claims about who was "first" are inherently subjective and often political. Can you see the difference between these two approaches? The goal of the former approach is to share factual description, while the goal of the latter approach is apparently to promote a particular scholar's work. –jacobolus (t) 17:46, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- Maybe Wikipedia rules have changed, but I don't remember which parts of our guidelines say that we, as editors, can make the job instead of secondary sources. And, again, in the thread, you give the credit of the use of trigonometry and the study of a random triangle to al-Tusi while I give the same credit to al-Kashi, both are Iranian scientists, there is no politics here, my goal is to fairly represent the history of that law. Anyway, if I'm in the mood for that, I will try Simonm223's proposal, otherwise I won't and the article will remain just as it is, who cares after all.---Wikaviani (talk) (contribs) 18:21, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- No, this is a gross misstatement of my claims. I didn't "give credit" to anyone for anything. I just quoted and explained both texts. (If you want my opinion: I think it is almost certain that authors earlier than al-Tusi gave similar methods for finding the third side of an SAS triangle, possibly many centuries earlier, but I am not personally aware of those texts. Neither al-Tusi nor al-Kashi makes any claim about novelty of their method for solving SAS triangles, but just present it among a list of methods for solving various types of triangles which were presumably already known to contemporaries. Even if we restrict ourselves to something recognizable as "trigonometry" specifically, I would not be at all surprised if equivalent expressions relating the sides to one angle of a general triangle turned up in the extensive but now-lost treatise of Hipparchus about that subject. But my speculations are an appropriate topic for a blog post, not for Wikipedia.) The purpose of Wikipedia articles is not to "give credit", and even quoting secondary sources which give credit is often problematic because those sources are not omniscient, are often political, and credit-giving statements are often misleading or factually incorrect.
"fairly represent the history"
– the history is not currently fairly represented because we focus quite a lot on developments before 1500, which are covered quite well, but not at all on developments after 1500. If you want to work on "fairly" representing the history of the topic, please go find some sources about 16th–19th century trigonometry and extend this section. –jacobolus (t) 18:50, 5 February 2025 (UTC)- Can you guys find somewhere else to take this "discussion"? Unless you have an issue with the resolution of this report, it's taking up space that it shouldn't be taking up here. Daniel Case (talk) 18:59, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Comments:
I am writing to formally report user Just10A for their disruptive editing behavior on the article Kevin Roberts (political strategist). Over the course of our discussions on the talk page, I have raised concerns about neutrality, verifiability, and adherence to Wikipedia’s sourcing standards, particularly regarding content related to Project 2025. However, Just10A has repeatedly:
Added or restored material without proper citations. Engaged in edit warring by reverting changes without consensus. Ignored talk page discussions, failing to engage constructively in content dispute resolution. Introduced content that appears promotional and does not meet Wikipedia’s neutral point of view (NPOV) policy. I have made good-faith efforts to address these issues on the talk page, but Just10A continues to dismiss concerns and reinstate problematic content. I believe this behavior violates Wikipedia’s core policies on NPOV, verifiability, and edit warring.
Just10A raised an issue that I shouldn't have the concluding lead sentence because there is no information in the body regarding Project 2025. I took him up on that offer to make accomodations so that he's happy. I spent quite some time writing in the body a subheading regarding Project 2025. Project 2025 is spearheaded by Roberts. User then claimed that it's irrelevant and deleted the paragraph. He has also repeatedly harassed me the past few days. It seems that his issue is with displaying the appropriate information on the article page. I believe that he is not being sincere in his reasoning as to why he doesn't want the information available. At least 6 times I and other users posted in the talk asking what his objections are to the sourced material but they have been ignored. When I left a warning on his page regarding edit warring, he reverted my comment. I was also nice enough not to report him yesterday for editwarring, after he raised this to admins. I believe these actions are not constructive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Summerfell1978 (talk • contribs) 17:25, 5 February 2025 month year (UTC) Just10A (talk) 17:45, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- Yeah, I think this might end up as a WP:BOOMERANG. The reporting User was blocked for edit warring on the Kevin Roberts (political strategist) page (their report hasn't even been archived yet, it's still on this page), and immediately returned after the block by resuming to edit war the page, despite being implored multiple times by myself and other editors to draft on the talk page and gain consensus before injecting things in. [169] The diffs he provided of me "edit warring" are multiple days apart, and the first ones are from their initial dispute above which resulted in their block. I (along with others) reverted them twice since they returned, but will not do again to avoid 3RR until this is resolved.
- On top of this, they've done what I think can only be seen as a WP:HOUNDING edit [170] against me after this all started up again, and have had a pattern of clear incivility on the talk pages, saying things like:
"Some of us, like me, contribute to society as a surgeon. Not all of us have time at home to make 220,000 edits on Wikipedia in a span of few years."
(making fun of an editors large amount of edits, on their talk page) and"If you can't read, this really isn't my problem."
- Unfortunately, I don't think the original block did it's job, and they are clearly WP:NOTHERE and engaging in WP:BATTLEGROUND behavior. A boomerang might be appropriate here. Just10A (talk) 18:03, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Blocked – for a period of one week Per and in addition to the above discussion, they did it right off their last block, they have been alerted to CTOPS, the talk page has a CTOPS notice—there's not much else I need to say. If they return to this again a responding admin should block for a month, log it and make it ArbCom-appealable. Daniel Case (talk) 19:10, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#Where's "can also be heard as" and "may be heard as" in the source?. Thank you.
Comments:User talk:Fdom5997 repeatedly reverted my edits with no justification other than "it's my wording choice" or "I like to write it that way". They repeatedly failed to add inline citations and stop using subjective languages unwarranted by the sources they're refusing to cite properly. When all failed, they resorted to making this threat in the edit summary: Stop reverting and just concede. Keep this up and I will report you to ANI:Noticeboard, clearly demanding me to capitulate to their bad behavior. During our exchange to resolve the issue, they repeatedly misrepresented my argument, insisting that I was forcing them to "quote verbatim" the sources, even though I only asked them to stop using unfounded subjective language and cite sources properly.Mazamadao (talk) 07:55, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
Page protected In full for three days. I'd tell you to go to the talk page, but it's clear from that discussion on Maz's talk page that that's no longer going to be productive, as you're both digging in and losing good faith. So ... for the love of wiki, get some other people involved so you can reach a consensus on this very lame edit war. If you don't, and just go back to what you've been doing when the protection expires, I see no choice but to recommend to anyone looking over this record that the two of you be blocked from the page for some certain time.

- Oh yeah it was lame, it was like arguing with a toddler on reddit. I've finally figured out why I couldn't get through to this person given how he just kept repeating the same lie again and again. Dude was so emotional he could barely read an entire response, and just kept skimming to the most triggering parts to clip quotes out of context to point out my "inconsistency" as some kind of gotcha. I even had to check by asking him whether he even read my responses or not or he was just eager to get angry and typing, and apparently I was right. He was already dead set on his opinion that I was forcing him to "quote verbatim" the sources, and he wouldn't budge on that. Mazamadao (talk) 15:13, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

To elaborate further, Johanes1980 has been persistently trying to add poorly-sourced information critical of Susan Solomon to her article. There is discussion on the article talk page, but the general gist is that this user has cited non-peer reviewed articles published in a vanity press and an editorial that has nothing to do with Susan Solomon, all written by the same person, Krzysztof Sienicki. Despite several warnings, Johanes1980 continues to re-add the same information. --Iiii I I I (talk) 05:25, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
- Suggest a partial block from the article since this user still inserts the same information despite warnings from other users. Galaxybeing (talk) 05:57, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
- Oh, come on. Get real. Your claim that the editorial 'has nothing to do with Susan Solomon,' when referring to a scientific article published in a scientific journal, is in fact entirely about Solomon's book and the controversy it caused. Johanes1980 (talk) 06:04, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
- the link to the journal is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulletin_of_the_American_Meteorological_Society and reads "The Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS) is a scientific journal published by the American Meteorological Society. BAMS is the flagship magazine of AMS and publishes peer reviewed articles of interest and significance for the weather, water, and climate community as well as news, editorials, and reviews for AMS members.

We want to hear, and value, what you - as a human, have to say about these meteorology sources, but LLMs are robots and are prone to making hallucinations, mistakes or presenting things in an overly verbose way that makes things harder for human editors who are putting in effort to help reach an agreement.

- Additionally, just a reminder that this noticeboard is for conduct issues related to edit warring. Please keep discussion of the content dispute about whether the journal is a reliable source in the talk page discussion, or consider starting a WP:RSN discussion. Because being right isn't enough and you have undoubtedly crossed the bright line of WP:3RR, it no longer matters if the journal is reliable or not - the reason you are here, and what matters, is demonstrating to the community that you have an understanding of what edit warring is and will cease edit-warring in WP:BLP-violating content without a need for sanctions.

Appears to have switched to a new IP to avoid intervention on 3RR after warning was given to the first IP. The reverting is a repeated section blanking. After a talk page discussion was started, user reverted again. Reverts were made after 3 separate registered users attempted to restore the removed content.
I have since made an edit to the section in question, in order to try to address the IP user's concerns w/o blanking the section. After this, the repeated reverts seem to have stopped, but based on my understanding of the 3RR, I am under the understanding that a report is still needed.~Malvoliox (talk | contribs) 00:00, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

Comments:
Traumnovelle often reverts edits to the Sinfest page before or without discussing these reversions on the talk page. He seems to believe, from his comments on the talk page, and in the reversion notes, that he is some sort of police officer for the page. He will often revert even in the face of significant consensus against him. I’m getting frustrated with him, and he’s at it again, removing twice an added image that has consensus for it, and once well sourced categories for the article. While I’m only displaying the behavior since I warned him to stop reverting so much, this behavior is consistent and long ranging. Le Blue Dude (talk) 04:00, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- Le Blue Dude, the consensus regarding the image addition would need to be very clear to justify your repeated re-addition against others' reverts. The onus to obtain such a consensus is on you, but you may not be able to neutrally determine whether it was reached. Where exactly has that allegedly happened? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 04:17, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- I’m not the one who put on the image, for the record. I added the categories that are supported by a quote within the article. Le Blue Dude (talk) 20:20, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- That’s not to say I don’t agree that the image belongs. I agree with the other two editors who added it that it belongs.

Blocked – for a period of one week. Part of the reason for the duration is the editor's history. They have never responded to any of the many warnings on their Talk page. Many of their edits have been reverted at other articles, and if it didn't arguably prevent me from acting administratively, I would have reverted many myself for a variety of reasons.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:17, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

I have consistently explained my edits and the rationale behind them, particularly in addressing inaccuracies and misinformation within the original template created by Pro-KMT. My goal has been to ensure that the template accurately reflects political realities without conflating distinct ideological movements or misrepresenting historical and contemporary political alignments.
Despite my efforts to bring the discussion to the talk page to establish consensus and avoid edit warring, Pro-KMT has refused to engage constructively. Instead of addressing the concerns raised, Pro-KMT have continued to revert edits without meaningful discussion, escalating the conflict rather than working toward a resolution.
Additionally, Pro-KMT has repeatedly been found engaging in violations of WP:POV [228][229][230] and WP:SYNTH [231][232]. This pattern of behavior undermines Wikipedia’s commitment to neutrality and verifiability. Furthermore, Pro-KMT has been accused of sockpuppetry [233][234] in the past, which raises further concerns about editorial conduct.
Given this history, it is clear that my efforts to improve the accuracy of the template and establish a WP:NPOV template have been met with resistance from a user who is more interested in enforcing their own viewpoint than in upholding Wikipedia’s standards. I remain open to constructive discussion, but continued disruptive editing should not be tolerated. Guotaian (talk) 14:13, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- Both editors blocked 24h for the staggering amount of edit warring across multiple pages. There were also some personal attacks in edit summaries by ProKMT. signed, Rosguill talk 01:27, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

Guotaian has been pointed out by other user on the user talk page due to its continuous destructive editing. [244] [245] Even I've never been blocked by Wikipedia[246], but Guotaian has been blocked by constant editing wars and devastating editing.[247]
The report made by Guotaian is very biased Check the history of the Template:Liberalism in China; Guotaian attempted radical edits that were not agreed upon in talk page, and I cancelled his edits and supported 'status quo'. I may have been forced to violate 3RR, but I'm trying to stop Guotaian's vandalism, so I hope the Administrators understand this. ProKMT (talk) 10:49, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- Guotaian made a radical and disruptive new edit first, and Guotaian started the edit war first. If my edit to undo Guotaian's vandalism should be blocked for violating the 3RRs, then Guotaian's 3RR violation requires a much longer block than mine. ProKMT (talk) 10:53, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

Comments: Justegypt was warned on the 12th for edit warring. On the 15th, they violated 3RR (diffs 1 to 6) and received the other warning on their talk page the same day. I eventually told them to stop edit warring when I started a talk page section. Another back and forth reverting between Justegypt and DjangoLeFandango started on the 16th (diffs 8 and 9; diff 7 reverted an unregistered account) and then both discussed on the talk page, with Justegypt eventually stating that "If you remove it, I will restore it and I am ready to do this daily.
" Afterwards, I pinged them with a clear intention to take to this noticeboard if the issue persisted. They continued discussion on that talk page section, so Justegypt saw the pings. After DjangoLeFandango removed content added by Justegypt following the discussion, Justegypt restored their own version (diff 10) against consensus that was established on the talk page and RSN, and when partially reverted by me and Halbared, Justegypt re-reverted (diff 11). It is clear this behavior will likely persist if no action is taken. ObserveOwl (talk) 22:58, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
- To be a bit more clear, Justegypt originally added three entries to the page (two of them above the recognized tallest living person) and discussion between Justegypt and DjangoLeFandango stemmed from the entry for Mohamed Shehata. A third opinion and subsequent RSN post found that the sources were not sufficient for the entry. DjangoLeFandango also disputed the entry for Muhammad Hussein Heikal, and when inquired on the talk page, Justegypt refused to discuss this other entry, replying with "
lol
", and subsequently restored that material on diff 11 without explanation. ObserveOwl (talk) 23:11, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
- I'm not fond of pblocks because so many times the aftermath can be unpleasant, but in this case I've indefinitely pblocked Justegypt from editing the article.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:57, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

- Leaky.Solar's 1RR: "Readded 2/18 announcement the yarden bibas section above mentions the announcement of his expected release as well" is not an explanation. Yarden Bibas was not the subject at this section, but his killed children.
- My explained objection: "WP:NOTNEWS, WP:NOTOPINION, Hamas is considered as a terror organization by Australia, Canada, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as the European Union".
- Leaky.Solar's original editing.
The article belongs to the ARBPIA. A general warning has already been written on its talk page.
an3-notice.
- This is very poorly presented. Based on the diffs above, though, it looks like Leaky added the material today at 17:02, was reverted by the filer at 18:08, and Leaky reverted at 19:25. In that sequence, Leaky never violated 1RR as they reverted only once.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:05, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- Dorian Gray Wild, please let me know if I made a mistake in the above analysis; otherwise, I will be closing this as "no violation".--Bbb23 (talk) 21:22, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- In the He WP, an edit warring is forbidden even once. I tag User:The Mountain of Eden. They will decide if they leave it, or revert the undoing of Leaky and return here if Leaky persists. Dgw|Talk 23:26, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

A series of consecutively saved reverting edits by one user, with no intervening edits by another user, counts as one revert.
This content dispute would be something to discuss on the article's talk page instead of reverting each other back and forth. - Aoidh (talk) 01:01, 21 February 2025 (UTC)- It's an accepted consensus voted on by the members of the Wikiproject Professional Wrestling that we do not include "Part-time members" plus it's all unsourced anyway.
- I doubt a talk page consensus would do anything considering the user did not reply to the talk page warning and isn't engaging outside the edits themeselves. Lemonademan22 (talk) 01:09, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- You'll still need to actually point to the discussion that shows there is a consensus (and a WP:VOTE is not the same as a WP:CONSENSUS), and engage in talk page discussion to avoid being blocked yourself for edit warring. Doubting that a talk page discussion will be effective is not an excuse to engage in repeated reverting of edits in lieu of such a discussion. Per WP:EW,
An editor who repeatedly restores their preferred version is edit warring, regardless of whether those edits are justifiable

Comments:
I'm not happy with how the user being reported is assuming bad faith and accusing Abo Yemen of socking. Obvious attempt to avoid 3RR violations by reverting a bit late. The notice at the top of this noticeboard boldly states "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."
This has escalated into a ANI report at WP:ANI#Photomenal calling my edits disruptive and throwing out false accusations, and the talk page discussion is literally going nowhere close to resolving the dispute. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 13:26, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- I just realized that the edit warring template is a bit out of place, but the user has been made aware of 3RR in 2023, so they should have the 3RR thing in mind already. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 13:42, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

Comments:
So I haven't been directly involved as such in this edit war, however Thedayandthetime is clearly not here to be constructive. There is no evidence of following WP:BRD and their editing constitutes WP:EDITWARING, breaches of WP:3RR and a lack of engagement. There's no evidence of trying to start a discussion to gain a consensus except a single message stating their POV on the article talkpage. The user was involved in a similar edit war at Cowboy Carter (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Their edits also demonstrate they do not understand WP:AFFILIATE either as they're insisting on commercial links to source track listings. The volume of edits to the article topics discussed is unacceptable even if they are right in what they are trying to say or promote (I haven't checked and I don't care enough at this point). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lil-unique1 (talk • contribs) 00:33, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
- Lil-unique1, thanks for the report. The user has edit warred with a sockpuppeteer and removed disputed material about living persons that was re-added in violation of WP:BLPRESTORE. You may be right about the issues identified with Thedayandthetime's behavior, and Thedayandthetime may have to change their approach to such situations, but I can't really take action against them at this time. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:55, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

Four edits changing "religion" or "religious movement" to "meditation technique" in the first sentence, two blanking a lead sentence (supported in the body by sources, and discussed at length on talk) about some characterising the group as a cult.

The IP has received several warnings (previously for disruption and vandalism, now for edit warring) but never responded. I think my edit comments were clear enough, but the IP apparently ignores them as well.
Daniel Case (talk) 20:41, 26 February 2025 (UTC)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.
- That's correct, but I think this is a case for WP:IAR. Or rather: We shouldn't apply the rules too diligently. It's an IP that received several warnings on its talk page and never responded. If the IP does the same edit on List of United States over-the-air television networks again in a day or two, it should be blocked. Anything else would be waste of our time. — Chrisahn (talk) 21:15, 26 February 2025 (UTC)
- Here we go. The IP reverted again, and now also started an edit-war on another page. Can we PLEASE just stop this and block the IP? Sure, it's technically not 3RR, but what else can we do? Post yet another warning on the IP's talk page? That's a waste of time. Why do I have to spend so much time just to stop this obviously disruptive IP? — Chrisahn (talk) 14:18, 27 February 2025 (UT
Blocked – for a period of 10 years @Chrisahn: Upon further review I have blocked the user for the next decade (the IP, associated with a school district on Long Island (surprise!) came off a 5-year block a couple of years ago, the most recent of a long series of ever-escalated blocks, so this was the obvious next step as we cannot block IPs indefinitely). Due to the long block, most of the previous warnings and notices had been removed from the talk page per the notice at the top, so neither of us were aware of the IP's history. Had I been (and this is not your fault) at the time I reviewed your report, I would have done what I just did. Daniel Case (talk) 20:42, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

Diff of ANEW notice posted to user's talk page: [340]
Comments: User is repeatedly attempting to include the Japanese terms "netsuke" and "shamisen" (and associated Japanese characters) throughout the article, including the lede. This is original research; per the talk page, these terms are not used in the film itself. I attempted a compromise by including "netsuke" with a link [341], then in a footnote [342], despite there being no valid reason for its inclusion. This was rejected.
A couple of complications here. The user has admitted to editing while logged out [343], which is why the IP editor is included in the above reverts. Also, an editor with a suspiciously similar username to mine has entered the fray: [344]. I am unconnected to this account.
- interactions both ways here need to be examined. There's another editor user:Larry Wom which only was just created to revert some of the changes by Camsteerie, as well as on talk page. Camsteerie at least explained the edits from a IP (browser settings logged them off). This is not in support of what Camsteerie was trying to add (i've discussed the issue on the talk page), but the edits by Barry and this Larry are highly suspicious and may warrant SPI. Masem (t) 17:55, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
- I already pointed this out above, and I've already mentioned to you that SPI is welcome. I have my suspicions as to who is behind this account and if a CU reveals that Larry Mow happens to be associated with an IP address in Colombia, they would be confirmed. Barry Wom (talk) 18:16, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Masem
- @Barry Wom
- As it does not seem to be have lodged, and as Barry Wom is well aware of the edit warring rules, I apply that Barry Wom is investigated for not just violating Wikipedia rules on edit warring, but also of sock puppetry in operating as a second newly opened account of Larry Mow to circumvent WP:3RR. Camsteerie (talk) 18:51, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
- Do you really think that an editor who has been here for 15+ years and who has accumulated nearly 15,000 edits is going to create a blatantly obvious sock account to continue edit warring? I've blocked it as an obvious jo-job impersonation account.-- Ponyobons mots 18:57, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
- ETA: the user is continuing to edit while logged out, despite warnings [345].— Preceding unsigned comment added by Barry Wom (talk • contribs) .
- Camsteerie has explained how they keep getting logged out and admitted to editing as an IP due to that. Masem (t) 19:06, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
- If the Larry Mow is actually a "jo-job impersonation" account - whatever that is, new term to me, but I guess a bot or a malicious disruptor trying to divert attention by throwing suspicion to another editor. If Barry Wom is then shown to be innocent of sock puppetry here, then please accept my apologies. Camsteerie (talk) 21:45, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
I've dealt with the socking element of this report and will leave the edit warring review to another admin.-- Ponyobons mots 20:54, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
Blocked – for a period of one week The edit warring is bad enough, the logged-out editing is worse, and to me the high probability that the "Larry Mow" account was created as a joe job (something I have always known was possible but until now, in 20 years here, had never actually seen happen) add up to enough egregious misbehavior as to demand a longer block than usual.

- Actually that's not always true ... Daniel Case (talk) 21:50, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
- Daniel Case, really? I always thought 3+ reverts = edit warring, but anything below is fine (obviously excluding WP:1RR, which isn't the case here). :) — EF5 21:53, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
- Well, first off, there's the exemptions at 3RRNO ... not very wide, but they're there. But also there's slow-motion edit warring, where people keep making the same reverts over a period of days. And then there's gaming ... making just three reverts in 24 hours, waiting, then doing it again.
- I might also consider it edit warring when someone keeps reverting during a talk discussion in violation of WP:STATUSQUO regardless of how often that happens.
- As noted at WP:EW: "it is absolutely possible to engage in edit warring without breaking the three-revert rule, or even coming close to doing so."
- And, also:" The rule is not an entitlement to revert a page a specific number of times. Daniel Case (talk) 22:02, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
