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.

Update this 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.

To be fair, we were going to discuss on TP but seems like @Geddit (who has been warned multiple times on their TP) is targeting me because of, I assume, changes on French conquest of Algeria and French conquest of Morocco. LocalF15 (talk) 23:47, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

This user is removing content. When reverting they direct others to the talk page despite not doing so themselves. Plasticwonder (Cat got your tongue?) 18:52, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

I'm unsure to which degree the use of the term "race realist" by ~2026-33664-65 in the edit summary of Special:Diff/1360176520 is a quote or racist by itself. The term seems to have been used there in a context against someone promoting, if the statement is correct, scientific racism.

It's beyond the edit warring itself and a matter for WP:ANI if I have misinterpreted this edit summary as non-racism. I'll close this report with the protection applied to the page. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:07, 19 June 2026 (UTC)
