Welcome to the edit warring noticeboard

Shortcuts

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.

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.

IP was blocked last week for edit warring and is edit warring again now that the block is over. This IP seems to be a block evasion of 95.248.34.201 and 87.9.223.167 as they share the same location and were active in the same articles. Yonasse (talk) 16:50, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

00:48, 5 September 2024

Comments:

@Ampupu123 has been reverting the edits for The Hows of Us, List of highest-grossing Philippine films, and List of highest-grossing films in the Philippines. They made three consecutive reverts within 24 hours (which is a clear violation of WP:3RR) to the said articles starting on September 3.

According to the parent company of Star Cinema, ABS-CBN, The Hows of Us grossed P1 billion at the box office as of February 2019.[22] It was not only published in their article but also broadcasted on live television.[23]

Despite posting a warning on his Talk page on 00:48, 5 September 2024‎, @Ampupu123 keeps reverting the edits on the said articles. They claimed that "the films Rewind and Hello, Love, Goodbye grossed more than this movie" even though they cannot provide an updated article to support his claim.

Furthermore, @Ampupu123 made a false claim that The Hows of Us grossed only ₱788 million at the box office. His source is the 2018 Annual Report with Consolidated Audited Financial Statement of ABS-CBN. However, the financial statement clearly indicated that the reports are only for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2018. Solidandrewsister (talk) 06:15, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments: The user @96.230.85.65 has been reverting the edits on the Köppen climate classification. The city limit per country is 3 and I have been making edits to ensure that only 3 cities per country are placed. However, the user's revertions mean that there continue to be more than 3 cities per country in some cases, which does not meet the requirements that are written at the beginning.

There's been consistent issues with BLP material and new editors editing this page. User joined to edit, has contributed, but appears determined to carry on personal attacks in edit notes rather than use talk page. WorthPoke2 (talk) 19:03, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Untrue, there have been no personal attacks of you, you "demanded" an apology on the talk page citing that I had made personal attacks (which i have not) and have repeatedly undid my edits with similar attacks citing my "poorly written material" "vanity posting" etc. I have made several active contributions on many wikis without reply. You constantly undo edits of long standing and factual material to support and further your political viewpoint. You repeatedly engage in editing of this page negatively, and have previously conducted similar behaviours with a number of other editors that further a nationalist viewpoint and on other pages. You removed sections on the 2024 election result, you removed sections on disability activism and crypto and have been historically engaged in negative attacks on this page.

Examples

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lisa_Cameron&oldid=1245016167 you accuse me of "poorly writing articles"

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lisa_Cameron&oldid=1242789221 if "multiple users" are questioning BLP issues, why are they not on the talk page or engaging in editing the article constructively?

You have also edited a number of Labour/Conservative/Alba pages to further a particular narrative including Ash Regan Paul Sweeney and others.

e.g.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Paul_Sweeney&oldid=1211830212 repeated edits of a Labour Party politician from a nationalist perspective

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ash_Regan&oldid=1221382794 similar edit

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eilidh_Whiteford&oldid=1215523614 adding in details of a complaint against a Labour MP

I have not seen in your edit history any negativity towards Scottish National Party political representatives, only those from a differing political persuasion of which this page is one. Xwv9009 (talk) 20:09, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Page protected – there appears to be a content dispute on the page. Consider dispute resolution. All edits have been reverted back to a point before both editors began revert-warring. Behavioral issues should be brought up at WP:ANI, and it appears to me that a topic ban on one or both editors may be in order. ~Anachronist (talk) 20:21, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
